Moreover, the developers of Last Epoch will regularly release patches that improve gameplay balance, dungeons, and eliminate bugs. Devs note that after hiring new people to the team, they can develop fresh content "faster than ever." Furthermore, hey assure that there are many more planned attractions than those indicated on the roadmap, and they still want to listen to fans of the game who have ideas for its development.
We are striving to be one of the best and most community-centered game studios in the industry [...]. As each new cycle is released, we plan to collaborate with the community to let you know what’s being worked on, listen to your feedback and suggestions for those plans, and continuously monitor how we can improve.
It's worth mentioning that for the upcoming major update - number 1.1 - Eleventh Hour Games studio wants to introduce many new features to all game modes, but is considering adding a "pinnacle boss" only to Cycle Online. If a player were the first to defeat such an opponent, it would eventually be unlocked for everyone in all modes. However, the devs need fans' opinions on this matter, which can be expressed in this survey.
