[quick magnet]

Which means you probably shouldn't be using it at all. But that's beside the point. They'll do just fine. They're also an MMO, not a loot-crawler

[inner finch]

I hope that the user who didn't spark it is "him", since the patterns are here

[glacial crow]

arpgs are mmo's lite

[quick magnet]

MMOs live and die by their communities. Live services do as well but this one could very well just live on in offline spaces

No, ARPGs are not all live service games.

[lean berry]

Indeed, I'm not arguing that live service games and offline games can be meaningfully compared when it comes to game design. I'm just trying to say pointing to a game/mod like D2R Remodded as an example of what LE could be doing better isn't very meaningful when D2R Remodded itself (regardless of how great it is, and I'm sure it is) is not actually a "successful" game/mod by any metric relevant to LE.

[quick magnet]

The live service component is the overlap here, not the genre as a whole

[glacial crow]

i told you what happened, the rest is up to you to figure out

[quick magnet]

At any rate, you're no one's CEO. You just some random sprout on discord. They'll figure it out.

Or they wont. Which ever comes first

[glacial crow]

i am random report of critical news

[lean berry]

EHG isn't perfect, but I do respect that they allow discussions like this to even take place at all.

[quick magnet]

I don't. but that's just me

[coarse swallow]

As long as it's civil - players are debating the point, not harassing individuals, and it's related to LE, we're happy to let it be discussed.

[lean berry]

I think there's value in these conversations as long as it doesn't devolve into ad hominem, indeed.

[glacial crow]

Because in Legacy of Kain only the true wielder of the soulreaver can save nosgoth, anyone else is vermin

or so they told me in the last of series, feel free to debate

[coarse swallow]

I'm actually not too familiar, it's been a very long time since I played legacy of kain, and I only played it once, haha.

[glacial crow]

so let you true to be to your name. play blood omen 1,2 and the soulreaver series

[lean berry]

Good old PSX days.

[glacial crow]

now youve softened my bitter my heart... the good old days

[lean berry]

I still have my modded PSX too :)

[glacial crow]

i apogolize LE is a great game, but it needs to push itself to compete with the other stubborn arpgs

[lean berry]

It's kinda crazy how much the ARPG market has changed in the past few years. I don't think the market was nearly this competitive back when LE was still in early access.

The ARPG market was seemingly just people with D2 nostalgia. Now it's an entirely new breed of ARPG players, the next generation of players I guess.

[glacial crow]

like d4 came out of nowhere in recent days with their expansions not just 1, but 2 new classes. it finally seems someone woke them up

the arpg franchise turned into an mmorpg model

[uncut escarp]

hopefully with this upcoming break, the devs and team improve the game's current detrimental state and create more interesting ingame contents

[glacial crow]

and ffs fix bugs

theres bugs ingame thats been theres since beta

[lean berry]

I'm not particularly hungering for ARPGs right now, like I could get that fix in a number of ways. So first I hope EHG takes ample time this holiday season to actually relax and chill with family and come back in 2026 fully rejuvenated and ready to tackle the new year.

[glacial crow]

map resetting and monsters not being able to be highlighted. not mention some monsters are ridiculous size, they take 4/5 of the screen

there's no need for a scorpion to be larger than diablo

theres alot of work thats needs to be done in a potentially great game

[lean berry]

Which Diablo? D3 Diablo was kinda big if I remember lol

D2 Diablo was puny.

[glacial crow]

no d2 was just fine because unless you have a massive monitor, do you want to play "giant online" ?

[lean berry]

Well yeah D2 was made for 800x600 resolution

I think in modern day though you could have things be big while still being visually clear.

[glacial crow]

smaller villians are usually more scary, take dracula from 1992 or leon 1994. they dont need to be giants, because thats defeats the subtlety.

not to mention i'd like to see whats happening on my screen

[honest belfry]

Do you have a favorite game villain? Specifically beause of the fight mechanics?

[lean berry]

Would have to be a game villain with fight mechanics that are compatible with ARPG-style combat, I assume

[honest belfry]

nah, in general.

[lean berry]

Oh man, in general? That's tough. Could probably name a few just from Expedition 33 alone haha

[honest belfry]

Ok enough people have been talking about Expedition 33, I guess I'll go play it

[lean berry]

I can't actually think of "favorite" becuase that's hard to quantify in my head. But when instead if I try to think of "memorable" boss fights, Raphael in the House of Hope from Baldur's Gate 3 is definitely one of the more memorable ones.

I don't know if any of the "essence" of those fights can be adequately captured in an ARPG though.

But definitely mechanical fights like Abberoth are very cool

[honest belfry]

WHO TOLD YOU?! /S

[lean berry]

Interesting idea, you don't really see collabs in ARPGs.

Certainly fits the time travel theme, I guess haha

Square Enix now, but yeah

They do collabs, but it's very selective.

And usually it's FF

[honest belfry]

Didn't they do a collab with Assassin's Creed in FF15 or something?

A buster sword in LE would be pretty sweet though

[lean berry]

I didn't know about that but you're right. The one I'm most recently familiar with was MTG x FF.

Black Mage cosmetic for Mage would be awesome.

You know I never made the connection between Lovecraft and Jenova... but yeah that is very cosmic horrory isn't it.

[honest belfry]

I'm playing FF7 for the first time via the remasters. I grew up in a very anti-videogame house so i never got to play the original.

[lean berry]

Out of curiosity, how much influence did LE take for the idea of the "void" from Lovecraftian horror?

[honest belfry]

I don't think it was lovecraft that inspired the void. Lagon, for sure, but not the void. I can ask Kyle when he get's back from vacation though

[lean berry]

Yeah I can definitely see the influence with Lagon

Strong Cthulhu vibes there lol

The void gives me a feeling of "cosmic horror" so it made me think there might be an influence there.

Like not just the void itself, but the void entities you fight as well.

[inner finch]

Void is kind of a broken translation of the original term

Discord would be the correct one

Chaos, disarray, disorder

[lean berry]

Fragmentation, maybe

[inner finch]

In the old testiment? no

I read it at its native language very well

the very first proverb starts with creating the skies and the earth

and the earth was at disarray

[lean berry]

You can read Biblical Hebrew? Like the actual ancient dialect?

[inner finch]

Yes

[lean berry]

That's cool, dude

[inner finch]

Hell does not exist in the old testiment, only purgatory

Regarding the first people, they were created last

Even after the animals

None of this ever happened, I treat it as a fantasy book.

But, there's some interesting stories to take from it

[lean berry]

Well yeah, it's a kickass fantasy concept.

Diablo lore alone (including all of it you can find outside of the games themselves) is a really cool twist on it all.

[inner finch]

😐

Look, one of many previous nicknames, its been lots of fun

but i think the convo is sort of sliding into weird places

[coarse swallow]

I agree with dj, at this point it looks like the conversation has been played out. Though it looks like it's naturally stopping as well.

[lean berry]

There is an off topic channel, but I don't think this would even be appropriate there either tbh

[coarse swallow]

Religion is not an appropriate topic for LE.

I'm not going to action anyone as the conversation has stopped. Just agreeing that the conversation needed to stop at that point.

[inner finch]

Ah, there it is, the muffins

[short vessel]

anyone else having a "lets go gambling!" moment

in the middle of going through 50 conquered towers looking for doubleT7's

[short vessel]

have so far managed to get double T7 off hand, 2h sword, boots and chest while doing so without trying

[short vessel]

and a double T7 wand from a vengance incarnate lul

[shut quiver]

How does this person have enough patience to make multiple profiles to troll in the same few servers over and over

Idk if what they do can even be considered as trolling

[zinc blaze]

It’s not patience, a troll truly believes that we are suffering due to what they do and takes joy in that

[versed path]

Is Last Epoch worth getting into? Looking for a second game to go with PoE2 but I wasn’t sure if it was still going

[lean otter]

which Harbringer is easier out of the two monolifts, its my last two, Spirits of Fire or Last Ruin. i want to do the harder one first.

[zinc blaze]

its a solid game, but worth it is up to you

[zinc blaze]

if I'm melee range I do spirits of fire's harby first, I hate the fight on melee

[versed path]

It’s been sitting in my library for like 2 years

I played it for like 30 minutes

[zinc blaze]

oh

if ya own it give the game a solid shot

[lean otter]

i am umbral blades skill, with Aerial Assault no dive bomb and falcon is used to do kill thresshold ( i also use shift for this).

[main frigate]

Act up? Good idea. I need to think how to act up 🤔

[lean otter]

thank you Engi

[viral jetty]

sigh im' in such a gaming slump, normally love arpgs, poe, LE, so forth. just got home after a long month at work and just can't gather the energy to enjoy a game

[main frigate]

Do anything else

I have a tough time to enjoy games often

[zinc blaze]

wake up each day and do an hour long workout

I always feel way more ready to relax after that

[shut quiver]

I get but that u see what they usually say, right? Its not rage-bait, idk if its even trolling...i wonder if theres some sort of monetary gains behind all this cuz I cant imagine anyone spending their time or effort for this 😂

[viral jetty]

honestly just kinda depressed. a lot of my fav games have closed recently and i'm just like what the hell ya know?

[zinc blaze]

mood

thats why I started working out in the morning rather than the evening

[shut quiver]

Maybe its time u explore other genres? Try and build up longing for arpgs in the mean time

[zinc blaze]

and I found it helps, idk if it will help you but its worth a try

[viral jetty]

well i normally jump between a pretty big list of games. but with New World closing down within the next year, Skyforge gone, Anthem shutting down, and so many others i'm just wondering which is next.

[shut quiver]

Yeah gaming landscape as a whole feels like its in a weird spot

Fortunately my backlogs list is pretty big and keeps me occupied while i do achievement hunt runs

[main frigate]

New games are more and more expensive, no passion on outdated graphics, not all gameplay I'm interested, they bring me great trouble to enjoy a game

[main frigate]

lol last time I hype for a game because of gameplay is the first time I saw le's trailer... Sigh

[lean berry]

Then you're a very hard person to please because I can think of a lot of game trailers that have been hype since then lol

[main frigate]

yes

Games with direct gameplay introductions + without boring storytelling pv + environment art act an important role + active community and respect artworks + reasonable price are quite rare

I'm finding a good game with less than ￥150 price and fill all requirements above

[lean berry]

That seems a bit too cheap of a price for all of those things you listed, heh.

[main frigate]

yes

Games can fill these requirements usually ￥200-300

[lean berry]

Indeed, that's what I've been seeing on Steam for regional pricing in Chinese yuan

[shut quiver]

Souls series games(on sale) 😂

I mean they do have a story telling preview but I can assure u, they're not boring

[main frigate]

dark souls?

soul-like action games are too hard

I have showed how hard poe 2 mean for me before lol Just because GGG want to make a ARPG with that level of difficulty on actions

👀 Dark soul 3, a game release in 2016, ￥268，It's a solid price for a game from 9 years ago

[shut quiver]

Ds3 is an excellent game. A perfect wrap up to souls series

[shut quiver]

Difficulty in games is kinda tricky if u ask me. I've seen games where bosses have high HP and/or defences that need to be broken down and the label of "hard" is slapped on it

[main frigate]

Of course. I just can't afford 99% excellent games xd It's my issues, not game's issues.

[frank bramble]

Touhou games from our dear ZUN are waiting for you my friend

[main frigate]

I'm not into paper girls unfortunately... Big block for me to enjoy Chinese games

[frank bramble]

I feel offended by this ragebait, well played

[main frigate]

Thanks for your honest, at least. Appreciated. The market of paper girls is huge, so enjoy your characters.

[frank bramble]

I'm playing those for the bullets REEEEE

[lean berry]

Yeah a lot of people are into Touhou for the ladies, but Touhou is one of the most difficult bullet hell franchises so there's a lot of fans who play it for that reason alone.

And I mean actual bullet hell, not bullet heaven games like Vampire Survivors.

[distant brook]

can u guys recommend fun easy build to chill in monos?

[obtuse bay]

reflect shaman is pretty easy to play and make build but fun part is debetable

[simple bison]

VK Warpath without warriors fury or reflect shaman are your best bet

[stark frost]

The Lich King fight in WoW. While admittedly, it got a whole lot from the lore behind it and you literally playing Arthas' story in WC3, the final battle in WotLK was truly unique for its time. The ground on the edges of the mountain breaking away, the spreading of the plague that you needed to carefully manage to the part where your souls are literally consumed by Frostmourne that you have to break out of. The setting, the desperation of the fight, the ending, everything was just extremely memorable.

[distant brook]

can u share link to warpath build?

[simple bison]

This one uses warriors fury which means you do need to recast Warpath from time to time but it'll do a lot more damage than not using warriors fury.

[obtuse bay]

vergil from devil may cry, insane fight mechanics and hype soundtrack

but If it was about the story and introducing of villain, I would say gaunter o dimm from the witcher 3

it's still giving chills

[shut quiver]

Gaunter fight is basically solving the riddle tho, right?

[obtuse bay]

yup, basically but his present on big events is simply ridiculous

he reminds me of sauron ngl

[shut quiver]

Tbh, I was disappointed that we didn't actually get to fight Gaunter after all that build up. The same with elder vampire in B&W dlc. But then again I guess there are "monsters" that even witchers don't/cant deal with 😂

[lyric grove]

So how's everyone been? everything still gloom and doom or have we moved onto the acceptance phase?

[night marten]

its pretty ok until someone brings it up again

[lyric grove]

Fair. Was only really asking cause if it was still volatile i was gonna axe my questions. If its still a hot topic. Never mind

[night marten]

so besides them existing in the future, no one really knows anything to answer questions

Basically the wait and see? Or is it the 'It is what it is'?

[severe socket]

"Whatever happens, happens." (in Spanish)

[lyric grove]

Unfortunate. I feel like some clarification might help. But I feel like any announcement is gonna light a match.

[severe socket]

There was quite a drama around two specific recent announcements. 🙂

Namely the PS5 arrival one and the "roadmap" one.

Those blew up alright, and not in a good way too.

[inner finch]

If you wanna have real drama, announce a Gregory plushie

[lyric grove]

I remember the days when people were begging for a console release date...

[scenic fog]

[south moat]

What would the drama be from that? I wonder

[scenic fog]

I posted a hypothetical picture of one in #📚┃off-topic

[inner finch]

nah, im good

[severe socket]

It was not about the console release per se. The trigger happened at the "expansion announcement" which was offhanded (as in rather poorly worded) in the same post.

[crisp tundra]

Hi
How’s the game guys thinking of making a new character and start

[copper sorrel]

Te ame is reat, if you like to rind.

Last time I played I think it was season 2 and had a wizard 😶‍🌫️

[lyric grove]

they did a massive overhaul to Lich. its more melee focus now. like heavily and twin axes

So these slightly paler yellow items that drop with sealed affixes, what are they, still rares for the loot filter? Also, how do I stop all idols without stopping unique ones?

[south moat]

Those are champion affixes

[chrome basalt]

do those come under Personal in the loot filter? I never really understood that tab but see it has some Champions affixes in it. I think I had these items turned off basically as didnt realise they existed lol

[south moat]

I've no idea where they are in the filter

Sorry

[chrome basalt]

I think it is them, some items have weird options like Meteor champion only on my weapons unsure why but I think it must be in there. Thank you though, the word Champion helped a lot I think

[quartz moat]

if you open the loot filter while they are on the ground, you can see which entry is responsible for them

it will show a number in the tooltip on the ground

[west zenith]

What happend with steam reviews ?

it's been a while since i checked on this game and i just got stunned locked with what is happening

[scenic fog]

People are salty with EHG for something Blizzard has been getting away with for years and it is tolerated.

[quick magnet]

It's a long story.

[obtuse bay]

lizard gang

[chrome basalt]

emptying 10 avalanches onto things heads really can't be beat for satisfying crunch

[calm jay]

They announced that they would have to charge for future content, and a lot of people took that personally

To be perfectly clear though, that came through in the shape of paid classes, which again seems like a really tame sin.

In real talk I think people were pinning a lot of hope on this not having to do that, so it really was a betrayal for a lot of people who wanted this to not be, well, what every other business venture is.

[chrome basalt]

I think ironically it is a real "don't hate the player, hate the game" except in this context the player would be the devs and the game would be the industry as a whole.

It's a stretch trying to sell people like me classes because I only play 1 or 2 normally anyway, actual expansions with new content though I'd always buy. Most game's we'd pay for new maps and stuff, and they keep trying to sell us miniskirts and bunnyears instead. It's baffling to me honestly but I'd probably buy a class in this game if it was a good one I liked, but as I said, I don't enjoy most classes on a thematic level even personally

I'd probably pay for even crunchier sound packs for spells and stuff though lol. And I really like when they sell things like spell effects cosmetics rather than, costumes a lot

[scenic fog]

Does anyone else think the Sentinel saying "Stand down or die." makes no sense?

Especially when it is to something like... a bunch of bugs, or worms, or other gross things...

[lean berry]

Bugs and worms are cool though.

[calm jay]

In fairness, my alternative would be 'Stand down or perish.' It's just a less harsh connotation, or maybe a more imperious one.

[scenic fog]

🎷 🐛

[stark frost]

Some developers get away no problem (= make money) without selling actual game content. League of Legends and PoE being some of the bigger games. They make enough money selling cosmetics to be successful. I'm sure that's what EHG tried as well, but it seems like that isn't as successful as they had hoped.

Some people mentioned that indeed just selling expansions is a great way to get consumers to spend their money, and I agree with this too. It's just a sore spot for people since EHGs original statements were that all future content would be free.

I'm sure EHG would have delivered on that promise had it been possible or at least without sacrificing on delivering said content

[lean berry]

EHG didn't actually try to be successful selling cosmetics. That's worth noting. The state of LE's cosmetics and how long they remained in that state would be hard to argue as anything other than negligence. This was a blunder and no attempt was visibly made to correct it over the years.

[frank bramble]

a guy in global just got a pair of 3lp immortal vise while in MG

i'm crying

[frank bramble]

aaand he bricked them

[shut quiver]

It should be noted that both LoL and PoE have decade worth of content behind them and since they're both f2p games the money has to come in from somewhere. Not really a fair comparison

[zinc blaze]

What is the best way to farm despairs as you go these days? Are there any new tricks to increase drop rates for them to target farm them? Like on the weaver tree or anything?

[chrome basalt]

I really love these tombs and the cursed idols and the machine to enchant them, it's a nice thing that wasn't in last time I played.

the worst part about farming aberroth is the long cutscenes

[calm jay]

Usually what I do here is force myself into group gaming. Somehow this seems to force a reset for me, like I suddenly appreciate a solo CRPG because I had to heal someone who had fantasies about line-of-sighting me or something lol

[chrome basalt]

Wow I only just realized I can turn sets into shards and my mind is blown again

[south moat]

It didn't use to be a thing
only since 1.2 that has been a thing
I think champions came with that patch too if i'm not mistaken

[chrome basalt]

Yeah there are so many options now its hard to follow them all but this changes a lot for my build now, in a good way, at least all those sets I hoarded and was never sure why just paid off

I think I only played up til launch but so much has changed its really quite fun the amount of options I have now

so now that ring I think I saw that can be one piece of any set is quite appealing possibly too.

[south moat]

Yeah, the set shards really opened a lot of possibilities
especially if you combine with the ring that makes you need 1 less

[chrome basalt]

where is that ring from is it the dinosaur guy?

[south moat]

Yup

[quartz moat]

i think the set bonuses are mostly obsolete though...most builds dont use sets at all

[chrome basalt]

the sets have been massively buffed since I last played, but I am using my own build anyway and the set is quite strong actually I think for it now, but as shards it actually might be really strong

[inner finch]

You dont use the sets, you use the bonuses

[quartz moat]

lp2 uniques are usually a lot better and easier to get than anything you can craft

[south moat]

Some of them are very good on some builds
like the void knight one

The bonuses are very good, that is

[quartz moat]

that set came out in 1.2 didnt it? that might be why

[south moat]

No
it was way older...

They haven't made any new sets

[quartz moat]

i think the game's focus on legendary crafting is a bit weird given that it started out with a great crafting system

even a perfectly crafted double exalt + 2x t5 + 1x sealed affix item is going to be a lot weaker than most lp2 uniques

and is a LOT harder to get

[chrome basalt]

I thought legendary potential was a pain in the ass since you need both and rng combining them?

[south moat]

If you run a tier 2 dungeon or higher you can select 1 affix you want

[chrome basalt]

oh so you actually pick now wow ok lol

[south moat]

So now instead of complaining how they never hit slams some complain how they never hit the 2nd or 3rd thing they want

[chrome basalt]

I just work it out as I go so am hugely enjoying all these different options to work on. There is no shortage of things to do for sure

so if you craft a set item onto an exalted item can you then put it onto a legendary potential item?

[quartz moat]

they cannot be used to make legendaries

[chrome basalt]

yeah thought that might be a bit much but thought I should check lol

[simple bison]

Honestly this outcome was easy to predict

[quartz moat]

its not that bad, since you get to pick a t7 affix that you want and you have a decent chance of getting useful other affixes

the problem is that getting an exalt with a t7 and multiple useful affixes for your build is much harder than farming most lp3 uniques

1x t7 and 1xt6 affix is also very rare as it is, even at 1000c. and they almost always spawn with 2 bad affixes, so failing to get both exalts on a rare lp2 can feel bad

it wouldnt be that bad if you could reliably remove the 2 bad affixes and craft useful ones

[short vessel]

I mean, i wouldn't consider a double T7 slam exalt that hard to get

In general if you want a 2lp of 60+ lpl unique with good rolls then that will likely take more farming then the double t7 to slam on it

Even a 775 slam exalt isn't terrible

Triple exalts and non-slam exalt gear with advanced crafts is where it gets hard

Just never ever craft on your first double t7 of an item type

[quartz moat]

for a lp2, you have 1/3rd of a chance to get the second t7 affix, thats not very high odds given how rare double t7 exalts are.

also getting a double t7 exalt with the two t7s being the ones you want is another thing entirely

[short vessel]

Eeeeh. Basically early on in the season you wanna grind some conquered towers to farm double T7's of a bunch of item types

[quartz moat]

are you saying its easy to get double t7 exalts from conquered towers? at 1000c and below?

[short vessel]

I got a bunch of them once i hit ~300 corr

Depends on the definition of "easy" ofc

If you're a casual 30 minutes a day gamer with a self-made build then nothing of that degree is "easy"

But overall farming a good roll double t7 slam exalt should take less time than getting a 2lp 60+lpl unique with good unique rolls to slam it on

Provided you farm it efficiently

[quartz moat]

thats weird, i find it quite easy to get, say, lp2 army of skin boots without even using prophecies but im getting very few double t7 exalts.

ive also gotten 6+ lp2 Nihilis

[short vessel]

Atm i'm at ~700 corr alternating between like 3 hours farming general echoes and imprinted rampant coast for weaver currency (spending rift beast mats on it) where i typically get a few double t7s from imprints

And then spending that weaver currency on lost troves where and spending like 1 hour going through those + any other worthwhile echoes i happen to get

And that typically nets me somewhere in the range of like 6-8 double t7's

Might be underestimating that

I'd say in the normal echoes i on average see 1x double t7 from each imprint

[quartz moat]

oh you are imprinting exalts

i actually didnt think you could imprint exalts, i always imprinted uniques

[short vessel]

._.

[quartz moat]

do affixes matter when imprinting exalts? like, will it have a chance of dropping the exact same t7 affixes?

[short vessel]

Look up frozensentinal's double t7 farming guide on yt

It and the text doc in the description explain it in detail

But in general for like, an item where you want a common T7 and a rare T7 (class prefix/inc health helm chest or prefix + hybrid health gauntlets/boots/belt) the ideal would be to have the desired common affix as a primordial affix and have an open affix space for where you want the rare affix to go

[quartz moat]

so im looking at the video and it just says to focus on the FP but doesnt mention whether the type of affixes matter

im wondering if, lets say i get a t7 health affix, will it re-roll to something else like a t7 dex affix

i saw a post saying that the copied item starts out the same then deviates based on a formula

[short vessel]

Section IIc is what you're asking about

It only has a 23% chance of keeping a common affix type on the T7

[quartz moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itUycPTV7RE not sure what you mean by section IIc, is this the correct video

[short vessel]

I'm looking at the written guide

It's in the description

Primordials and sealed affixes are treated a bit differently

And habe a higher chance of being kept

But it doesn't go deep into the details of them

[quartz moat]

what written guide? this one? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LwxrHPiMWUkDNoQEx9CUnn9Kmebp8hi6dYbL0Cy9zis/edit?gid=269012209#gid=269012209

It's the "guide" link in the description of the "weaver imprints finally solved" video

Wanted to post this here: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

@mighty kelp you've betrayed the community. I will never spend a single cent on this game again

[quick magnet]

I think at this point we should just be muting these random pings meant to shame the devs for petty reasons.

[calm jay]

The real flex is to acknowledge that they exist and move on with their lives, I think

[brittle hollow]

meanwhile he linked something that is true even after the recent announcements

[calm jay]

The thing is on the internet the facts don't really matter

[lean berry]

Problem is that it's not actually constructive criticism.

[calm jay]

If people want to spin a narrative, they will and nothing will stop them

[lean berry]

There's a better way to criticize, this ain't it lol

[calm jay]

It's better for the devs to focus their energy on people who, yeah, provide something

Yeah, the internet is an unfortunately lacking place for sound criticisms, or at least those aren't the majority

On the other hand I admit I'd struggle for what to suggest other than that seasons don't seem to be gelling, and also I want to formulate a lot to say that the campaign is very lacking and needs to be a far better delivery vessel for the story (imo).

[lean berry]

If the game is so beyond redemption and you can't even articulate a meaningful criticism, it seems like a waste of effort to go out of your way to be obnoxious.

Just move on.

[calm jay]

Ah, yeah, that's gonna be most of the internet too lol. I still like it so I'm pretty nonplussed, I'm actually very happy they decided to charge for classes and not xpacs.

People who don't care about the classes aren't forced to pay up to progress with people who might care much more.

So I like that direction. I just wonder what the future is past seasons, since again, seasons don't seem to be meshing somewhere.

I'm hoping our void/necro combo comes out of the new classes O:

[lean berry]

LE's seasonal approach has a couple of major issues that I can tell... 1) they are underwhelming in content and 2) they're too long

I really does feel like there is a very poor ratio of development time vs content output.

Despite being a decently sized company.

[calm jay]

That's where I start taking digs at the campaign. If it felt a little more robustly replayable like some predecessors, I think it might feel a little less starved for content. The problem is that on like replay 3 of the campaign it is painfully boring, and once you're done getting points and slots for quests they're basically just an obstacle between you and monos.

[lean berry]

I'd be curious to know what some of the bottlenecks are, if any. Maybe it's QA, maybe it's content design phase etc.

[calm jay]

Yeah, it'd be nice to hear where the biggest challenges are drawn up, but then I don't know how freely they also want to talk about that.

[lean berry]

Maybe they're also just tunnel visioned with Monos, too afraid to take the risk necessary to innovate or create something different from scratch.

Monos can't be the only endgame mechanic for the remainder of the game's lifespan. There has to be more.

[main frigate]

He can't be game director of le if this trouble can trap him lol

Well he have money to hire pros and develop his team, this is the most important thing

Resources and money from investors is much more important than player's trust, it's his choice

[main frigate]

it's the key of le become pay to win or not. But apart non paid-class players from paid-class players have many things to do 🤔

[calm jay]

Unless they nerf the preexisting class, all you'll win at is fringe level monos anyway, right?

I think as long as the game is as it is they're pretty safe from excluding people

[round lake]

Class need to be balanced. If it reaches leaderboard 1#. Its p2w as prople payed for it. Sp it cant be balanced due to being p2w. Paid class is good for casuals and vanishing competition leaderboard scene

[brittle hollow]

and what does getting #1 to leaderboard get you?

[south moat]

Nothing
apart from "you're the first on the leaderboard"

[main frigate]

Lol just read an announcement of Poe 2 Chinese version. They announced who is top5 on the leaderboard and reward is... Exalted orbs. From 30 to 100

Exalted orbs, not divine orbs

Emmm due to the feature of le, I have no idea which in-game rewards I want in le if let me think this problem

[round lake]

You are not to bright. Arent you? Not everyone are greedy piece of shhh. There is no need of rewards. Just fair competition and nothing else

[round lake]

China poe is p2w with sub for pets, pay to play progress leagues with items, $ respec for atlas & char tree, and subscription ah so its another world

[brittle hollow]

Aren't I? or Am I? To be or not to be? That is the question...

As for my brightness, it is none of your business...

As for your brightness... There are multiple leaderboards not just 1.

[round lake]

Yeah they will create special one called p2w class only leaderboard xd

[main frigate]

That's Poe, 2 isn't.

[round lake]

Poe 1. In poe 2 i dont know.

Also they have the full descriotion what killed you with dmg charts

[main frigate]

2 is the same with English version

[viral spoke]

Is there anyone on that could help me with Uber Aberroth? I can get him to 35% but that's it.

[hexed pond]

If i am merchant guild, and have gear from there, can i switch meanwhile to circle of fortune and still keep the gear or no?

[night marten]

if its tagged MG, you cannot use it when in cof

[hexed pond]

So its very hard to switch to cof midgame?

[calm jay]

Vanishing competition would be very meaningful if people were deep into watching competitive LE, but if it doesn't draw a moneymaking audience, not many people are going to care what 100 sweaties think.

And rightly so. They play at a level that represents treating video games like a job.

[calm jay]

Kind of. If you intend to use a bunch of the other faction gear it'll be restricted, so just be mindful of what gear you're saving up, and why you'll use it

Otherwise it's just farming gear back up p:

[barren mural]

[zinc blaze]

[scenic fog]

I have a legitimate question about the level requirement choices of some items...

Carrion of Creation is a build-defining item, yet it’s locked behind level 81. That feels too late. By then, most builds are already set, and there’s little room to adapt around a lynchpin like this. It’s frustrating to have such a core piece gated so deep into progression. What’s the reasoning behind placing it that far out of reach, especially when it could inspire whole builds if available earlier?

Eighty one...

[shut quiver]

I've had a similar gripe but with a skill and not equipment

[scenic fog]

Another huge gripe of mine is that items are designed for only 1 class in mind. GOD that is so frustrating to me... Like Eterra's Path. Why isn't there something cool in there for forgemasters? Or necromancers? Maybe that item could turn skeletons into some sort of light entity?

Weapons designed with only 1 playstyle in mind. Be more artistic, fill the canvas to the edges!

What about a bow a necromancer could use?

This game sprouted from a love for D2, so where is the Blood Raven arc for necros?

I suppose the only other thing to add is... if the response is something around resources.. is a question, a very simple one.

Is the passion no longer alight in your hearts?

[coarse swallow]

Carrion of Creation is a build-defining item, yet it’s locked behind level 81
While Carrion of Creation allows for additional ailments to add to a build, it doesn't mechanically change how a build works - it doesn't create a dependency for a build, only offers a build more stats. So we're fine with it being a later goal item to further enhance a build. For itemization, we think it's useful to have lategame items to continue striving for to further enhance your build.

Another huge gripe of mine is that items are designed for only 1 class in mind.
Both types of items exist - we don't feel unique items must be all globally useful, or all specific to build. Rather each style of item has its own place and usefulness.

If items are too general application, they tend to feel very homogeneous , and the item is no longer about "uniqueness", but about "power". This is important - "unique" isn't a power tier of item, it simply means that it offers an effect that otherwise could not be found in that slot - not that it's strictly stronger than another item type.

Uniques are a very fun and important part of the game to get creative with and design builds around.

[scenic fog]

I agree with that point of view Kain, and thank you so much for responding to me with such eloquence and thoughtfulness. I would simply respond with this. Uniques can still have a uniqueness to them while including say, one other class, not all classes mind you. Hear me out as well that if these items did have more than 1 use it would increase their value for MG and add a bit more dopamine for CoF.

[coarse swallow]

I should also mention: If you believe you have a good idea for a unique item - make sure to throw it into a feedback channel! We do listen, and have taken community ideas for uniques a number of times in the past.

[scenic fog]

I may do that Kain, but one must be careful with ideas. Some of them hold more value than you consider at the moment of revelation, emotion and excitement clouds judgement and you could give away something that fortifies a dream not your own.

[chrome basalt]

I am all for customization and options but too many crossovers and you quickly remove the rpg from the rpg, it just becomes soulless action with no real character.

we need a mossy avalanche skin tho for shamans to make it look and sound physical even when it is part ice lol

[coarse swallow]

I could see that, though at the same time it's part of our founding principles to always be close to the community, listen to feedback, and be willing to change directions based on that feedback. We feel that's one of the things that separates us from other studios. We are of course certainly not unaware of current sentiment, though we still hold this ideal.

This comes from our origin with Judd deciding "ARPG fans always have such great ideas, but so rarely do companies actually listen and implement feedback. I want to make an ARPG that's of the fans for the fans." (Not his exact words, I can't do Judd impressions sorry, but the intent, haha). And so, with a reddit thread, Eleventh Hour Games was founded on just pure love of ARPG's and the community.

[scenic fog]

That origin story is one of the reasons I am in LE's corner, I am attracted to love, alternatively, I am repulsed by greed and hubris. As for Judd's stance on the fans, it is why I have such deep empathy for him, because a heart than can hold an intention such as "ARPG fans always have such great ideas, but so rarely do companies actually listen and implement feedback. I want to make an ARPG that's of the fans for the fans." that is a soul that is precious, a soul that thinks of something bigger than himself and is in awe of the love surrounding it. I sincerely hope, in light of recent events, that beautiful heart does not darken.

[barren mural]

It’s a beautiful thought—I appreciate it.

[scenic fog]

Well one idea I'd like to see, is the falcon being a giant bumblebee, maybe an MTX, or an item that does it.

[calm jay]

I too would like a bumblebee falcon. This sounds awesome.

Have EHG received chocolate from steam?

Context: https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/s/P2njQnlz30

I wonder value will give one box of chocolate for the dev for they'll give more if it's a company 🤔

[coarse swallow]

Haha. not that I'm aware of. I would personally feel pretty offput by a random box of unsorted chocolates without any sort of wrappers just randomly showing up at my door supposedly from "Steam."

[calm jay]

Huh...

Idk if it's just me but it kinda looks ... like some are upside down?

[main frigate]

why?

[calm jay]

And what's happening with that thing in the top of the picture?

[coarse swallow]

Yea, that's the sketchiest box of chocolates that have ever existed.

[coarse swallow]

I would not believe for a moment it came from Steam.

[calm jay]

Or honestly any of it... maybe they used something to generate this image? It kinda gets weird out from the box-o-choco.

But yeah otherwise that seems like a box with some chocolates that have been put into it lol

[coarse swallow]

you don't box chocolates that close to each other either, they'll melt into each other and become one cohesive chocolate.

[calm jay]

Yeah zooming in on that card is 💀

[main frigate]

Oh so you're not sure steam will give chocolate as gift to devs too

[calm jay]

Any official chocolate box of any repute will have a plastic tray into which inserts are set, into which the candies go

[coarse swallow]

I would suspect that it has nothing to do with Steam, and was sent by a random individual who may have unfriendly intentions. The chocolates may contain more than butter and sugar.

[south moat]

It might contain chili

[calm jay]

I'm going with, AI generated image. Zooming in on that card makes this kinda odd inconsistent warping evident on the text, plus everything outside the box and the card are indistinct

[coarse swallow]

worst case scenario - pineapple.

[calm jay]

When I was young, everyone said the trick was to replace Oreo cream with toothpaste...

[south moat]

Hey now, I love pineapple
Never tried pineapple in chocolate though

[quartz moat]

https://x.com/AggroCrabGames/status/2000677337260499284/photo/1 this pic of chocolates from valve seems more legitimate

[calm jay]

Lmao people are actually verifying in the comments that this is absolutely a Steam practice for hitting revenue milestones D:

Some people are also listing the brand (La Maison Du Chocolat). Apparently this is serious chocolate business actually, lmao

[coarse swallow]

I can believe it. I wouldn't doubt that they do things like this, just that first box of chocolates was very sketchy looking.

[calm jay]

I'm wondering if the practice is legit and this pic isn't

But yeah apparently Steam sends out chocolate.

[main frigate]

👀 So how many boxes of chocolate value will give to EHG

[calm jay]

I'd rather get chocolates than a pen or a watch!

[main frigate]

I don't believe EHG never receive chocolate from value

[calm jay]

Oh no. EHG has been Notebook'd on their chocolate 😮

[coarse swallow]

I'm not sure what kind of conditions there would be around it, but we're also a fully remote studio. They would need to ship to individual employees, which... is a lot of shipping (also - they shouldn't have employee's personal addresses).

Or they would send them all to say, Judd, but that either means giving chocolates to an individual instead of the company, or places a burden on the company for the shipping.

Because of that, I doubt they would do this in cases where there isn't "an office" to send a gift to. But, I honestly don't know either way.

[calm jay]

Judd, covered in expensive chocolate:

[south moat]

Now imagine if they did actually have all your addresses
Would be creepy

Hello, I bought the Last Epoch game along with the DLC and also the Last Epoch - Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack.
I play in offline mode, but even though I just started, I can't use the Last Epoch - Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack. What should I do?

[chrome basalt]

Wait til Janurary the 2nd possibly

#news message

is it just cosmetics in those packs?

[ashen jacinth]

nope

i bought Last Epoch Ultimate Edition and Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack

Do these DLCs not appear offline ?

[chrome basalt]

what dlc isn't appearing?

[ashen jacinth]

Ultimate Edition and Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack

[chrome basalt]

specifically what is in those I am not googling them

[ashen jacinth]

this ''Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack'' = cosmetics packs

like weapon , pet etc ...

[chrome basalt]

my cosmetics appear in offline so no clue why they wouldnt

[ashen jacinth]

Could it be because I'm new to the game ?

[chrome basalt]

did you try restarting steam and everything, maybe you need to log in online once or something to like, verify or something no clue myself but my cosmetics are there in offline mode in the tab same as online

turn it off and on again

[ashen jacinth]

okay i will try , one minute pls

I don't know how to thank you, it really happened 🙂

thank you very much

I'm new to the game, so I'm a novice and don't know many things.

bzzzzzz

[elder wedge]

what would you say is the most tanky build that can do 1000 corruption?

[simple heart]

Reflect shaman. But it is very uninteresting and probably shouldn't deserved to be called a build. You just have to put an armor and a shield and you are good to go to 1000c without pressing any button as a walking looting simulator. If it is the kind of gameplay you are looking for it is the best candidate though.

[obtuse bay]

Can it kill uberroth tho?

Always remember, the builds where you stand still the least, are always the most successful.

[south moat]

But if I stand still they'll get me

[restive mesa]

question am i just fked if i dont have gold for respecing? build is kinda bricked and have 0 gold

[night marten]

you can always play something and get gold.

like even if you go down to 100c empowered...of normal monoliths. there is always a point where you can play

[scenic fog]

I have a question for the devs, are there talks of adding a feature to the game where once you have completed the campaign on 1 character, future characters can just have all the rewards from the campaign and just start grinding from level 1?

[restive mesa]

well not even pushing corruption and my build as half/half so i do no damage prob easier to restart at this point

[barren mural]

“It wouldn’t be bad if idols were unlocked.”

[night marten]

in short, no

they have talked about it many times, and it boils down to, what would you want to do for 5 hours inplace of a 5 hours of campaign

that also wouldnt take obscene amounts of dev time to make

[scenic fog]

The answer is simple, an arena style training instance.

Just keep those monsters comin'. Smash TV that shit.

I realize I'm showing my age by referencing that game, but yeah.

Better yet, add a multiplayer option, arenas next to each other and at the end of 50 waves? Round 1, fight! PvP!

Best of 3, winner takes a HUGE GOLD reward!

Tell me you don't think that is a badass idea, huh?

Keeps the game fresh, makes racing to wave 50 exciting

Call it something lore-aligned like "The Grolehide Games" or some such.

add npc spectators

Another game mode, try this on for size. Break the boxes right? Boxes have point values and varying hp values, there are monsters that try to stop you that arent worth a lot of points, there are obstacles that can kill you and you are also racing against a clock. Cross the finish line? X points added based on boxes destroyed. Boss monster near the end? Worth a "comeback" amount of points.

Oh, and when the clock runs out you get only the points from the boxes you broke.

[lean berry]

Best I can think of that fits this criteria would be a level 1 version of monos.

[scenic fog]

And I'm going to say this again, the same point I brought up yesterday: Fun should not be locked behind levels

All the gear with gimicks, you need to let us use that stuff far sooner than you do.

Idols should never roll "cross purpose" mods on the same idol. What good is 29% bow damage going to do me if I am using the 44% more damage while wielding a dagger?

Very frustrating.

[lean berry]

The concept of progression must exist and this inherently means progressing from a less fun state to a more fun state. It's possible to make progression itself more fun, but the idea of progression is fundamental and levels are a natural way to measure that progression.

[night marten]

ah yes, lets get burnt out on monoliths even earlier. lol

also i would HATE to see their lvl scaling to that. would actually need a lvl 1 version of all their mobs.

[scenic fog]

What I am saying is, fun thing should exist sooner, introduce newer items to make fun thing even more fun

[night marten]

yeah, the devs are more concerned with trying to make the campaign actually more enjoyable, than another thing they need to balance and tune

[lean berry]

No, I agree. It's only the best I could think of. LE isn't really equipped atm for this in the same way as say D4 is (with things like Helltides).

[night marten]

yup

[night marten]

simply because at some level, there needs to be a fail state reached. if thats immediately on drop, or on craft...at some point you need to fail to play ARPGs

[lean berry]

Absolutely. Failure is what defines success.

Without failure, success means nothing.

Maybe a bit of a cliché from Taoist philosophy, but true nonetheless.

[hexed pond]

Is anything still selling in mercahnts guild?

[scenic fog]

Yes, I sold a 4lp mountains peak for 2.5 million

and i sell lots of other petty items between 30-50k each, vilatrias crowns are a good seller at around 300k as well

[hexed pond]

do you have custom filter or

[scenic fog]

i have a meticulous playstyle, i have ranges turned on in settings for items, and if an item isnt in the top 15% of the rolls for an item, I leave it on the ground.

[balmy arrow]

[scenic fog]

flows gets interrupted a lot for me because i dont have sliders in my item filter

if i could have a blanketing setting that only shows items within the top % of an item I'd just run with that, the best I can do currently is hide anything that doesn't have a t7 affix on it.

I still want items to drop at the end of an echo, I'll die on this hill.

and i mean gold, shards, all of it, nothing until all that remains is me and my happy little safe circle in space after a successfully completed echo

[thick lotus]

thin line between seeing too much loot and seeing no loot at all

They can keep track of everything that dropped, and then belch it in front of me "a-la-Toothless" at the end, thank you very much

[main frigate]

Last day to see Kain here in this year, am I right?

[calm jay]

Second, the campaign needs a lot of sharpening up, but it has good ideas and there's enough to work off of. It just needs to take notes from things like Diablo 2, where quests pay out other things like bonus stats and resistances, rather than just being idols, points or basically nothing. Then, the quests need to be less just fetch-quests, and exploring the side areas they take players to should be rewarding in itself.

Granted, no amount of dressing it up will make it palatable on constant repeats, so I'm also very down to see them incorporate something that allows post-campaign players to pass on it instead somehow. I think once they've played through it once they don't necessarily need to be put through five hours of grind again if they opt not to be. Of course they'll end up with fewer items et al as a result of that but that's something they'll probably be okay with.

hello. Do you think the new season will be good? Will it meet our expectations?”

[coarse swallow]

I've been enjoying it in internal playtests so far. For expectations, I think the detailed update covers the primary features of the coming season fairly well. That should hopefully show what we're looking to offer for the coming season, and help with expectations on both sides.

I can't just blanket say "it will meet your expectations!" as there have been expectations such as "all remaining chapters, remaining skills, and triple the mtx library next season." which just isn't something we'd be able to meet unfortunately. I think there's some fun mechanics, big balance changes, and new crafting that should make it solid.

How can there be an Epoch time, when the Epoch allows time travel?

[inner finch]

Yeah, its Epoch time

Which is rumored to hit an Epochalypse soon

[coarse swallow]

The time of the home area of Epoch.

[barren mural]

“I hope it will be good. I just want to share a thought. The endgame part of the game feels very empty. Killing Ubers, at least speaking for myself, isn’t really endgame. What I mean is, we more or less know what the new upcoming mechanic will be, but it feels like it might be insufficient. Along with that, have you considered adding an extra mechanic that could make it more fun for us? Or do you have such a plan?”

[barren mural]

hahaha

[coarse swallow]

https://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/

[calm jay]

Idk

[inner finch]

hurray

[calm jay]

A weasel or something got into it some years back and things haven't been the same since

[muted cape]

They said its gonna be smaller then 1.2 content wise, but bigger then 1.3

[coarse swallow]

If you haven't had a chance yet, I recommend checking out our "Looking ahead in Last Epoch" announcement here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/looking-ahead-in-last-epoch/80230

It touches on a bunch of the big features coming in Season 4, Including the new Omen Windows mechanic.

[barren mural]

i did allready:) before than

[coarse swallow]

I'm not sure what you mean by the following in that case; could you please clarify:

have you considered adding an extra mechanic that could make it more fun for us?

[barren mural]

i mean in poe like heist maybe

i dont know diff a mechanic

or cube mechanic like torchlight infinite

or gamble

[coarse swallow]

So you mean a separate endgame system in addition to the Monolith, Arena, and Dungeons. A system is quite a bit larger than a normal mechanic, and not something we can easily decide to "just add that on." Something like a new system would more likely come with a larger expansion type major update.

[barren mural]

absolutly u are right. but monos or dungeons boring no more endgame in game

“What I’m just asking is, would it be possible to make a separate small additional mechanic for Season 4?”

[coarse swallow]

Everything is a competition of priorities - working on something like a new system means a lot of work that isn't going towards other things. Currently our focus is on fixing bugs, balance and modernizing the classes, and making the Monolith more engaging.

It would certainly not be possible to add a new system in time for Season 4. If I had to estimate, something as big as heist I'd expect to take about a year to develop in a parallel pipeline.

[barren mural]

“That’s correct. I just wanted to ask and learn, thank you.”

[strange umbra]

woo happy early bday

[muted cape]

Thanks im hoping for some blueberry creme brulee 😋

[strange umbra]

om nom nom

[tawny spire]

I thought this whole muting people for a week with no cause of breaking the rules just being overly vocal was done when Averille left. Aparently not.

[night marten]

if you have issues with moderation, DM @grand geyser

[frank bramble]

I gotta be honest here, balance changes? Hit us up with more stuff we can spend money on like for real, rogue for example has only SEVEN (except for evade) skills we can get skins for, primalist has like 12, mage has even less than a rogue iirc, if balance changes mean big nerfs then people might react in negativity which we all don't need atm, ofc buffs for lower popularity classes are very welcome tho. Games are supposed to bring joy - not give us struggles some people run away from in real life already, never forget about this guys ❤️ keep it real like the famous rapper Ali G once said

[night marten]

balance changes come with every patch, as do mtx skins.

[frank bramble]

Big is the word that worries me here you know?

It can be either very positive or very negative

[night marten]

so you want small balance changes? lol

[frank bramble]

No, big positive changes

[night marten]

so then why is big the worry if you also want big

[frank bramble]

Because big positive at this moment and small negative is what we need, we don't need some GGG-like behavior now especially in the current atmosphere

[night marten]

sure, but i still dont see how you are worried about 'big balance changes' when you are also asking for big changes

and nothing about balance changes effect MTX. totally different teams

for some reason you have these things linked

[frank bramble]

I just said big might mean two things and one of them is negative with another being positive, I don't know what else needs to be said here

I didn't link them in any means, just put them in one message

[night marten]

and tbh with the insane amount of power creep the last 3 seasons. bring the nerf bat (its not going to happen tho)

[dusk dragon]

Big balance changes usually bring down meta builds so it's a negative thing if you just wanna faceroll through the game with your eyes closed.

[quartz moat]

there are no more patches planned for this season right?

[night marten]

not likely unless something breaks backend wise

[night marten]

i mean they have tried to nerf falcon about 5 times and its still in the top so i cant see them nerfing anything into uselessness

[quartz moat]

i thought they would keep fixing bugs throughout the season

[night marten]

nah they are all working on s4

unless you want a smaller s4?

[frank bramble]

Well truth is all builds, even the most broken ones are at one point going to hit the wall, sooner or later

[short vessel]

Buff poison!

[frank bramble]

And corruption brings nearly nothing to the table with how useless its scaling is

[quartz moat]

i dont think it makes much of a difference to the next season whether the bug is fixed now or next season

[short vessel]

Even the "good" poison builds atm are mid tier at best

[quartz moat]

you are still using the same number of hours to fix the bug

[dusk dragon]

It's the thought that counts

[night marten]

it does tho. cuz every patch for s3 requires man power that takes away from s4.

its not free to ship a build to the public

and then IF something breaks

even more hours are gone

[coarse swallow]

The reason is because the internal build has diverged so far from the live version of the code that it takes quite a bit of work to pull out all the new content and just leave in bug fixes to make a distribution.

[quartz moat]

oh, thats interesting

i wonder how most companies deal with that. do they use two builds, one for bug fixing and one for new stuff?

[short vessel]

Happens in basically every game

[short vessel]

Has the same issue

In terms of applying bug fixes to the development build

[frank bramble]

Well it's getting harder and harder each season to get it working well so I think they did a good job on that one, ballista might be an outlier but other builds got hit with a bat quite well already, if you compare my 1.2 umbral build and 1.3 umbral build you'll see that in order to achieve a level of damage from previous season I had to do much more so yeah, their nerfs worked out well

Now maybe it's time to exactly, like mentioned above give some love to DoT skills

[coarse swallow]

Something like that is potentially possible I believe, but it means every bug needs to be investigated, fixed, and QA'd twice. Almost doubling the total time to address every bug - since the code they're applying to is different.

[frank bramble]

DoT skills that I never trusted personally, only one build gave me hope that was the good old The Curse's hungering souls curse of perseverance build from idk ages ago

[muted cape]

True.

[frank bramble]

Exactly, nearly every time I see a poison modifier in a unique item I am like oh that's useless, maybe it's my lack of creativity or experience in dot builds but yeah I think more players are like it

[quartz moat]

so im not an expert but dont you only need to test it again if the new content actually conflicts with the bug fix? e.g. lets say you fix a bug with X. the new content does not touch X in any way. you wouldnt need to test X again?

[muted cape]

Theres like one or two poison builds that can reach insane levels but I forget how

[coarse swallow]

We once made a text change in the game guide, and it broke fireball textures. Unfortunately the way things connect is not very logical, haha.

[frank bramble]

Like julra t4 levels?

[short vessel]

Hey kain, would a flat added to ailments modifier work as current in game?

[muted cape]

No like uber abby levels

[quartz moat]

how is that even possible?

[frank bramble]

Yeah man was just joking around, i can believe that

[coarse swallow]

I think it would be such an impactful stat it would be mandatory in whatever sources it comes in. I think it could only work if there was essentially a total overhaul. Separate multipliers would generally work better.

[coarse swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/alien-guy-thats-crazy-woozy-crazy-scientist-gif-8609893263374809391

[muted cape]

Hungering souls and poison overload, and maybe the super secret golem thingy but it still needs testing

[frank bramble]

Glem thingy? That's interesting

[short vessel]

I was thinking moreso on a unique item... possibly minion specific

[muted cape]

Well u need atleast 3 golems and gotta ramp up infected remains

[coarse swallow]

If it was a unique item - I believe the result of adding base damage to an ailment would be so massive, only builds that used that unique would be 'viable' for that ailment.

[frank bramble]

Hmm, sounds like too much creativity for me, I wouldn't have figured it out by myself gotta be honest

[short vessel]

Hopefully i can prove scorp can kill uber abby

But like

[frank bramble]

Enough LPs and you'll be good, trust the process

[short vessel]

That'll be with an uber-juiced setup

[short vessel]

The LP's aren't the hard bit

It's the exalts

[frank bramble]

So basically 777 weapon and... What else?

[short vessel]

Nah just 77 weapons

Umm

[frank bramble]

777 would work better for more poison on hit wouldn't it

[muted cape]

Maybe corrupted items and skill sigils by then will get the job done

[short vessel]

So my boots are planned to be 7ex,7,5,5,(1)

[frank bramble]

That's quite easy

[short vessel]

No

It is not

Tier 7 experimental with t1 seal

[frank bramble]

7755 with 1 sealed? How come

[short vessel]

Also the second t7 is hybrid health

[frank bramble]

Ohhhh

Hmm

[dusk dragon]

Gotta bring back ailment effect. Dots never got compensated for the loss of that multiplier

[short vessel]

The helmet is planned to be 5,5,5,7,8

With the T8 being a class affix

[frank bramble]

So basically you would need a 177 sufs base, craft a prefix, rune prison, seal, havoc and up the rest

Man now you gave me a challenge

[short vessel]

Yeah

Tho you are better off primordialing one of the t7's

Probably a suffix

[frank bramble]

Why tho, you'll have no slot to use t8 helmet then

Or do you mean a helmet now

[short vessel]

Primordialing the imprint

[frank bramble]

Ahhh to have the affix show up more frequently on imprints?

[short vessel]

Yup

[frank bramble]

I get it yeah

Are you on legacy or season?

[short vessel]

Season

[frank bramble]

MG or CoF?

[short vessel]

I wanna finish it this season

Cof

[frank bramble]

F

[short vessel]

Also employed full time

I'll get there i think

I finished my uber geared char last season

With t7 flat regen slammed ravs

[frank bramble]

Oh like most of us, hmm if u want you can whisper me those mods you need there, I'll maybe try to cook them even for my own satisfaction since nothing really sells on MG to give me joy there hehe

[short vessel]

I'll dm you the aspirational gear planner when i get home

[barren mural]

balance changes?:))) ballista died 🙂 or falconer died:)

[frank bramble]

Ooookay sounds fine

[barren mural]

mage static orb will be OP

[short vessel]

Even if i finish the setup the uber fight is gonna be a mission

[barren mural]

lets go 500k coorp:)

[short vessel]

20+ minute fight

[frank bramble]

With the current bowel-like movement on market it's really hard to get anything good these days

[barren mural]

🙂

[frank bramble]

Jesus what

[frank bramble]

Go go hehe

[barren mural]

they cannot fix this

[short vessel]

Scorp nova is not a strong single target build

[frank bramble]

I hear "nova" I know it's not going to be a strong single target build xd

[short vessel]

Been around since beta, where it was S tier cos bossing was irrelevant

[barren mural]

static orb best lets go in next season

[quartz moat]

i wonder if this is a unity thing, ive done modding for other games and its literally impossible for something like that to happen because stuff like tooltips is just completely seperate from textures

[barren mural]

nerf ballista falconer or rogue all

[short vessel]

Hasn't changed all that much but the game has changed.around it

[frank bramble]

Frost claw best, oh wait

[barren mural]

frost claw not best:(

mana stacker static orb best boss killer

[frank bramble]

Best if you flip the top list

[barren mural]

nerf rogue we know- mage taking buff we know

easy push corrp now

better than ballista

[coarse swallow]

I don't remember the exact details, but it's because of localization. Many strings are variables, which localization can break, resulting in a void line that can cause a cascading issue inside a module where it's called - such as a string that's shared between the game guide, and fireball's description.

This was definitely one of, if not the strangest example I've encountered to be clear.

[barren mural]

i know all issees in this game:)

issuee

podaj can i say? 🙂

[frank bramble]

Turkish encyclopedia of Eterra

[barren mural]

hahahaha

[coarse swallow]

I'm just a CM, not a dev - so my knowledge on the exact interactions within unity is "monkey hear, monkey kind of sort of play a game of telephone." Please don't judge me

[barren mural]

uhhh nooo

[frank bramble]

Let me use some Judgement on you

[barren mural]

but u can say them. we need more new skill and mono balance 🙂

[coarse swallow]

Yup, that's definitely something I can say to the team! One of the biggest parts of my job is collecting feedback and getting it through to the team. And in fact, next season we are getting a new skill and mono balance

[frank bramble]

Nah I'm kidding, won't play paladin ever again if you have a choice of playing with evil paladin

[barren mural]

If they make balance changes between characters, there will be a huge gap again and there will be issues—just so you know.”

[coarse swallow]

What's wrong with an evil paladin?

[frank bramble]

There's nothing wrong with an evil paladin, that's my point xD

[barren mural]

hahahah

wtf podaj 🙂

[coarse swallow]

Paladins aren't servants of a god - that's a cleric. Paladins are zealots who believe in something so thoroughly their belief grants them power.

[frank bramble]

I would call them holy warriors more

[barren mural]

holy , slow but nuub paladin in game:)

[frank bramble]

And why play with holy when you can play with void and destruction?

Let's compare for example judgement and erasing strike, even the names play a big role here

And erasing strike has a bigger bonk so yeah

Ngl tho that old RF-like judgement build looked fun

[barren mural]

smite will be OP in s4:)

mage OP

others nerf:)

no judge 🙂

[frank bramble]

Okay guys let's start the betting, how many items did I sell on a market after a whole day

[barren mural]

0

hahahha

[frank bramble]

5 mins to go, the winner gets a big prize

[barren mural]

why 5 min? i won already:)

[frank bramble]

Have some faith my man, it can't be that bad right

[coarse swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/love-quotes-gif-3643220039448794437

[frank bramble]

You didn't even say how many or does this GIF imply that it's gonna be 1 item sold?

[coarse swallow]

Haha, no, I could simply cheat =p

[barren mural]

hahaha

[frank bramble]

Oh crap right

[barren mural]

what a chat:)

[frank bramble]

You can try throwing a legit answer tho Kain, 2 minutes to go

[prisma folio]

Guessing 0

Though idk

[frank bramble]

Lol we've got some people full of faith in me here

[barren mural]

0 or 0 🙂

[coarse swallow]

Hmmm, if you've been active, I'd say around 14

[barren mural]

lol

6

[prisma folio]

I sold nothing today

[frank bramble]

Hot damn Kain, that's a bold answer

So 0 6 and 14

Okay time to turn the pc on silently so my wife doesn't hear me

[barren mural]

bring me a cake

[frank bramble]

Do you know I actually baked 3 next ones today Kartal?

2 for my parents and one for us

This time the top cracked on all of them, told my wife she's bringing too much air into the mixture but she won't listen

[barren mural]

really? ok half to half:)

hahahha

[frank bramble]

Okay boys and girls brb gonna check

oh damn actually it is 4!

from over 200 listings

[coarse swallow]

gotta pump up those rookie numbers (says a CoF player)

[prisma folio]

Damn... My wife doesn't care at all when I game

[frank bramble]

so @barren mural is a big winner, the prize is waiting in off-topic

great job Kartal well-deserved

[barren mural]

what was number?

[frank bramble]

4 lol

[barren mural]

4? :)(((

hahahaha

im a COF player 🙂

[prisma folio]

Wait you guys joined factions?

[frank bramble]

well yeah, you didn't?

[prisma folio]

I played for a week at launch and got back into it like 2 days ago

[scenic fog]

Welcome back :)

[frank bramble]

so after a week you should be at act 9 at least i would say

in maj'elka

i've got some tough to sell very expensive items tho, even going much lower than the current lowest isn't enough i see

[prisma folio]

Thanks

[prisma folio]

I'm pulling your leg

[zinc blaze]

Merchants guild is always wack once it’s a fair way into the season

[frank bramble]

lol

[prisma folio]

My standard character is cof and season is merchants

[frank bramble]

yep

[prisma folio]

Serious about recently getting back into it tho

[frank bramble]

i mean Zuzu honestly nothing's gonna surprise me at this point

[barren mural]

“A kid is telling me to go from 0 corruption to 20k corruption again—without using Confluence of Oblivion :))))”

jealoous kids:)

[frank bramble]

oh dont be like that, sometimes people just don't believe something can happen, can't help that

at least you've got fuel for your ambitions

[coarse swallow]

please make sure to remain civil and be careful about insulting players.

[frank bramble]

btw since the F-word is allowed on global, can we have the Polish K-word allowed as well? kthx ❤️

it's hard to mess a slam and not say this, you don't realize how big of a problem it is for us

[barren mural]

🙂

[frank bramble]

[coarse swallow]

I'm not familiar enough with Polish - if you could submit this as a support ticket so we'll have it on record to look into in the new year, we can absolutely review our text rules from feedback.

[frank bramble]

oh so it may actually happen! Now you gave me hopes hahahaha

[zinc blaze]

Gotta use creative insults, like great blueberry pancakes on a Sunday!

[prisma folio]

All I care about is whether clanker is allowed

[zinc blaze]

If you use food in it, your next slam has a 40% better odds of being what you want

[coarse swallow]

If it is directly comparable, I wouldn't see a problem with it, no. While we want things to remain civil, we're also not a children's games, and want to give players some reign.

[frank bramble]

i mean i see complaining about drops helps all the time, i keep saying shit about not getting anything - poof a 3-4lp drops

[zinc blaze]

Kain that is such a refreshing stance

[frank bramble]

actually i'm surprised too yeah, pleasantly surprised to be precise

[zinc blaze]

Like Darktide is a warhammer 40k game, but wasn’t allowed to have stim’s in its new class trailer

Main mechanic of the new class btw

[prisma folio]

Some moderation is needed tho or you end up with a certain type of Gamer™ being a bit too vocal about their opinions

[frank bramble]

where's this support thingy at, Discord?

[coarse swallow]

!support

[rancid basalt]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[frank bramble]

oh there, i think it's where i made a ticket like 2 years ago when i got wrongfully muted and never got a response so i posted my issue here and then the fix happened hahaha but okay i'll try, i realize you must have a lot of crap in those support tickets so it makes sense

[barren mural]

My Reddit post got 50k views. Is this the real number?

[frank bramble]

nah, bots

[coarse swallow]

I think that's something only reddit can know.

[barren mural]

in page of LE 🙂

main mapge

[shut quiver]

How can opinions be moderated tho? And if someone's being vocal without breaking rules, even there mods cant do much 😂

[barren mural]

page wtf

[prisma folio]

You can prohibit the topic as a whole from being discussed, for example

[coarse swallow]

We actually have a policy to not moderate criticism against EHG, and would only ever do so in the event that it is highly 'uncivil/abusive'. However things like real life Politics, Religion, and Ideology are not allowed topics within the Last Epoch space. Not that they aren't important - this just isn't the place.

[prisma folio]

Based stance

[zinc blaze]

Common EHG w

[muted cape]

This is why primalist is the superior class

[shut quiver]

I actually like for people to be vocal and participate in discussions. But when they start crapping on others opinions or start forcing their opinion on others, thats when I start getting ticked off

[coarse swallow]

Our core rule is "be civil" - all the other rules are really just a description of how to do that, heh. As long as you're civil, chances are you won't run afoul of moderation.

[frank bramble]

okay ticket sent, pray for me guys

[frank bramble]

yeah politics flood the global in-game chat sometimes, i already figured out that, no offense to American folks, once you wake up a whole debate breaks out conducted by only a few people

but they tend to accelerate this crap to impossible levels

[coarse swallow]

Yea, we're working on countermeasures to assist with those scenarios. Primarily in-game player reporting (finally - it's being worked on!)

[frank bramble]

that might do the job quite well, happy to hear that

[prisma folio]

This is why I disabled global chat

[shut quiver]

Idk how bad its been recently but when i played, compared to other games the global in this game seemed pretty chill

[prisma folio]

Most other games I play don't have a global chat

Except Warframe which alternated between argumentative and thirsty

[frank bramble]

thing for me is i really like chilling with the guys on global chat nowadays especially when party chat usually fails to work

it's the same names everyday, we instantly know who is who and it feels much better, sometimes i'm not playing for an hour, just chatting

[zinc blaze]

But where else will I say vaal turtle it no balls

[frank bramble]

yeah, loved it when i finally got a self-found lp2 Shattered Worlds and the first message on global was: i would turtle it if i were you, like what the hail

[zinc blaze]

Turtle it, no runes

I need to be able to send Gregory emotes in global chat

[frank bramble]

toucan first

[zinc blaze]

[fathom barn]

The game doesn't save the option of "fullscreen borderless" and i have to re-apply it every time i open the game. Is that the case for everyone else?

[frank bramble]

It does not? I was nearly sure my game is in this mode constantly

[quartz moat]

that doesnt happen to me, did you somehow set your settings file to read only by mistake?

[frank bramble]

Crap people are so hostile nowadays, that item showcase guy was something else

[onyx flame]

do we have season 4 date ?

[zinc blaze]

March I think?

[lean berry]

March 26

[zinc blaze]

[frank bramble]

Merry Christmas to all of you ❤️ it's past midnight here already so it counts hehe

[kind latch]

It would only be the 24th?

[zinc blaze]

Christmas is a two day holiday so it counts

[chrome basalt]

I'd say its 3 days and then you usually just link it to new years day to make a week of it lol

[quartz moat]

thats interesting, its probably due to the way the game or unity uses localization. in a game called Europa Universalis IV, if you had a bugged localization like that, the game would simply display a placeholder string as the localization for that localization + all other localization after it in the same localization file. but it wouldnt affect anything else like textures or stats.

[prisma folio]

for architects of astral blood, does ward limit mean you can't have more than that much ward?

[main frigate]

thanks, I hope I can celebrate and spend Christmas in my way one year

[zinc blaze]

yea

[scenic fog]

Merry Christmas everyone :)

🎄

[zinc blaze]

🎁

[south moat]

Merry Christmas to you too

[short vessel]

Oh btw kain before you talked about how added flat damage to ailments would be mandatory but idk if that makes things any different? Like crit exists for hit based stuff

[zinc blaze]

crit isn't added flat damage?

[vagrant citrus]

Still havent touched S3 is it worth the time?

[south moat]

It's okay
Nothing special
I had fun with it when I played it. the season mechanic is a bit whatever but the gear is nice

So if you like the game I don't see why not

[prisma folio]

rip

[median perch]

🦎

[prisma folio]

i am now wearing a boneclamour barbute and an architects of astral blood

i have so much ward

[south moat]

Ward for days

[fathom barn]

I'm not sure, i haven't touched any files or folders of the game to be honest, I'm going to check

[short vortex]

How much more do we have to pay to play the full game with the new classes after already buying the release?

[south moat]

We don't know.
The paradox class is like an year away still.

[fathom barn]

Another additional clue, when i apply portal cosmetics the choices are gone when i re-launch the game, portals back to by default cosmetics, very annoying...

[south moat]

Try the pinned message here in #💬┃general

[fathom barn]

Thank you traveler, do you mean the last one from EHG Muffin?

[south moat]

Yes

[fathom barn]

Thank you, confirming that i deleted these 4 files (online_cosmetic_data_equips, owned_cosmetics, Player, Player-prev) and i solved the issues:

• settings remember borderless windowed
• cosmetics are now remembered too

[south moat]

Glad to hear that

[soft rain]

random question which is the most player friendly class like less buttons using ?

[stray forge]

Guys, wanna ask. Was krafton influence been seen so far after beeing acquired? Or did we just scare ourselves with speculation?

[south moat]

Honestly it hasn't really been visible in the game so far
Apart from them continuing to work on the game instead of shutting down

[stray forge]

Devs streams and social media interactions still the same too? If yes then YEPEEEEEEE! BIG CHECK FOR THE GAME!!

[south moat]

Yeah, dev streams are still going and the community managers are still active here
Though now it's their holiday break so we will not see some for now
Mike hasn't done the dev streams for now because he's on a vacation for a bit longer, like a month or so

[stray forge]

Cool then good money

[south moat]

But we are getting a paid class along the expansion (that is free if you already own the game)

No idea how much that will be but it's like late next year probably

[stray forge]

They making the game free...

[south moat]

Yeah they need to get money from somewhere
since the mtx isn't selling enough (a lot of it is just ugly, for some reason no cosmetics for popular skills, some cosmetics bugging the skill)
So paid class was their solution to it

[autumn coral]

How active is the game / is MG still active and things sell or aren't too expensive or do I go CoF ?

[stray forge]

As long as its not made deliberately op

[south moat]

It's pretty late to season so I doubt MG is that active, I never play MG though

[autumn coral]

Thanks, might as well CoF then. "Late in the season" but since the season lasts a long time ..

[south moat]

Yeah. We'll have to see
it's "paradox class" and we obviously have literally no information about it (or them, if multiple)

[south moat]

Yeah, and most people don't play a month in already

[stray forge]

Imagine its just fun playing with it, like its not op but if you dont have it youll miss on a ton of fun

[prisma folio]

I've been playing DoT acolyte

Super fun

[stray forge]

This class gonna be more fun

[median perch]

I wish there were both genders for each class

[stray forge]

Both? Are you implying there is ONLY [redacted by mods]

[median perch]

like a female mage, for example

wouldnt it be cool if it was possible to put exalted items into Nemesis Egg?

[night marten]

why? most of the time it'd just brick bya dding affixes you dont want, or upgrading an affix you dont want upgraded

just craft it instead of leaving it up to chance

[zealous siren]

yeah, but even if it added or upgraded unwanted affixes, we could still use redemption rune on it and also it would gain more forging potential. And it would have the chance of having multiple lets say Tier 7 affixes which could be used for unique slamming

[night marten]

nah, just adding in forging pot would break the game.
