Sound like he was the only one capable of doing an intern interview

You are not qualified enough Derrick

[turbid silo]

I beg your pardon

[willow sentinel]

😏

[main frigate]

😂 ......Derrick isn't on the same page with us

[primal abyss]

I believe Wick had responded to you regarding "Meet the Team" and mentioned that it will be on an indefinite hiatus

[main frigate]

Yes. More disappoint plus with this news

It still have hope if he still here

[primal abyss]

If we do bring that back or something similar you will def know of it lol

[willow sentinel]

Too old, I know
(Bold jokes allowed ???)

[primal abyss]

That joke was kinda reaching with the boldness though, so let's be mindful of that in the future

[main frigate]

Are you the one who will take Wick's blog (Eterra monthly)?

[sharp plover]

When are more classes or masteries planned?

[south moat]

No, I'm taking over it

[south moat]

There's the paid class that's coming at some point

[vale drum]

I see the career page is still down. Any ETA on this? 🙁

[sharp plover]

yep heard about something like that but any news when?

[south moat]

No.

Probably around when the dlc comes out (dlc free if you already have the game)

[primal abyss]

I don't have the exact ETA, sorry. I'd hope it'd be quite soon. Check in again before end of the week

[sharp plover]

yeah i dont really care if the dlc or class costs a bit.. as long as its not diablo prices lol

[south moat]

But yeah, no ETA

We'll still have at least season 4 & 5 before that

[vale drum]

Got it! Been refreshing it a few times a day so I'm sure bambooHR will appreciate me not spamming F5 for a bit

[sharp plover]

ok thanks for the info

[south moat]

Wish I had more to offer but sadly

[sharp plover]

its okay. I play the game from time to time so I am not in a hurry.

[primal abyss]

I would invite you to keep an eye on all the details we drop in #news though!

[sharp plover]

i subscribe to the news

I just havent followed so closely lately

but now i started playing again

[primal abyss]

Welcome back :]

[sharp plover]

thanks! great game.. i have more than 3k hours in it lol

[night marten]

best guess is when the xpac hits, yeah. we havent gotten any info besides what was sent out a few months ago. s4 is kinda hogging all the news 😛

[primal abyss]

But yes to that point, S4 will be dropping March 26th so you have time to get back into the swing of things. I'd suggest catching up with the latest EM and if you're one for teasers of the story... a thread where past teasers can be looked at - https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/season-4-weve-sprung-a-leak/79956

[main frigate]

What about lore-relevant problems I brought by my notes?

[primal abyss]

I saw you drop your notes via feedback. If that was the notes you are referring to it will be shared with other feedback

[main frigate]

99% chance I'll not get any respond then

as a community we need to find the 7% of people not using imprints and make them aware of its wonders because not using them seems criminal

[main frigate]

Good luck :)

[eternal oyster]

What is the fix for items desyncing after town portal and you can't pick them up when you portal back?

[simple bison]

There is none, when you portal out of an instance it resets

[eternal oyster]

Just to make sure we're on the same page. The specific thing I'm asking about is an item is on the ground, you TP to town, you TP back, the item is still there but you can't click it.

[simple bison]

The item shouldn't even be there, that in of itself is really weird. Are you playing online or offline?

[eternal oyster]

Offline. This has been going on for over a year.

[simple bison]

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's a bug

the item shouldn't even appear

[eternal oyster]

I believe it's well known. There are reddit threads about it. Just wondering if there is a workaround

[simple bison]

Yeah sorry no clue, this is the first I hear of it. Offline bugs are usually more obscure

[eternal oyster]

Offline/SSF is pretty much the only way I play arpgs

[simple bison]

I'll see if I can reproduce it and report it, but please do so also if you're not launching into full offline by pressing F8

[eternal oyster]

I'm clicking the Offline Mode button

but not SSF checkbox so I have access to shared stash from alts

Sorry "Play Offline" is the button

[autumn socket]

can someone help me make a damn loot filter for hunting affix stuff? I selected 4 affixes for my leveling paladin physical melee damage etc

anyone can join my channel

[sturdy acorn]

there is a tool for it somewhere. it's a webpage.
you tell it what you are looking for and what you want to avoid, and it will produce a Loot Filter code for you.
much simpler than the current ingame one.
But I can't remember it's name for the life of me.
If you are following a specific build tho, look up the build online, there is usually also lootfilters pre-created for it on the wikis with the builds, for different progression states

[zinc blaze]

if you import a build into last epoch tools you can have last epoch tools generate a loot filter

[sturdy acorn]

is it that reliable to figure out what i am looking for?
including uniques, implicits, affixes, prefixes, fp, etc?

[zinc blaze]

no idea I've never used it

but I see the button there

[sturdy acorn]

if i were to upload my WPV Sentinel, would it be able to accurately produce those niche filters?

huh

[zinc blaze]

probably not

[sturdy acorn]

xD

[zinc blaze]

I assume it just highlights the stuff you put onto the gear thats on the build

[willow sentinel]

Its decent

Not amazing, and not good for very niche

[sturdy acorn]

🙁

[willow sentinel]

But usable for the commoneer

[sturdy acorn]

fair enough

i am struggling so hard rn anyway, to get purples with enough fp and at least a few proper t7

got 2 near perfect LP4 uniques for my build, but just cant seem to find the right purples to merge v.v

am this >||< close to try and just find a cheating tool to create them

been farming for them for two months straight 🙁

sorry for venting

[fallow grove]

so I'm wanting to try uber abberoth but I'm not sure if I will just pop

[zinc blaze]

as long as you dont reset the timeline you put the woven echo in, you can just keep trying the fight

[fallow grove]

ok thats what I was worried about, and doe corruption apply to him?

[willow sentinel]

No

Its fixed difficulty

[fallow grove]

ok so I have 3.8k Hp and about 700 mana capped res I'm playing VK WP

[glass pendant]

He's one of the coolest superbosses in rpg history, grind the battle out, it's worth learning it

[fallow grove]

how differnt is it from normal?

[glass pendant]

Plenty. There's as many existing mechanics as there are new ones

Basically all of his phases are juiced up

[zinc blaze]

raw hp is important but your ehp is more important

like I could have 5k hp but not a huge ehp due to missing other defenses

[fallow grove]

ok the tool says I have 15k eHP vs ele and 21k vs phys

[zinc blaze]

I'd import your character into LE tools and look at its defenses page

[fallow grove]

thats what I'm talking about

[zinc blaze]

ohh

you might want some more then

especially vs dots

[fallow grove]

like how much more are we talkin? I'm lowkey stuck on figuring out where I can change my build

[chilly ember]

can you send a planner link? probably easier to take a look and see where you can squeeze out some more ehp that way

[fallow grove]

[carmine smelt]

I'm not a WP VK expert but from what I know I'd say your bigger issue is likely damage. Even if you manage to not get hit by anything you are looking at an extremely long fight, Uber is ~10x tankier than Normieroth. Probably "technically possible" but you'd need to play well for many minutes and not mess the arena too bad with hazards.

Also, isn't the WP meta T8 channel cost these days with the damage ramp nodes for big deeps?

Also I personally wouldn't worry about resists for uber other than Phys, Void, and maybe Cold. The other types aren't really a threat, better to focus those idol affixes on generic defense, damage, or utility

[chilly ember]

tbh this looks fairly good, mostly just look for upgrading your t6s to t7s and trying to slot in some more mana. and t8 channel cost will make a world of difference

[fallow grove]

Ok so for uber I just need more deeps, the listed res and t8 channel cost

Then I should just send it

[chilly ember]

i would def look to improve your idols, too. they can be a pain to farm but the payoff is 100% worth it. looks like you've only got 1/2 of the desired affixes on most of your idols, and no double mana idols

[fallow grove]

How would I go about farming those in particular like idk how to do that I literally just started playing for the first time on Sunday

[muted cape]

If you want to farm idol best place to start is in cof

[fallow grove]

I mean I am cof

[muted cape]

ok, so do you understand how to target farm the specific idols you want?

save up 200k favor, roll your idol prophecies, run tombs, and cemetaries, grab idol echoes.

and use the correct lenses.

there's more to it then this, but this will be a good starting point for you to familiarize yourself with the idol farm loop.

[fallow grove]

I have been using the ones that double rewards and uses plus the one that makes it only monolith missions

[carmine smelt]

only monolith lens is technically suboptimal as a 3rd choice as only 31 out of 80 prophecies are Arena, Campaign or Dungeon

[fallow grove]

ok so what would I replace it with?

[carmine smelt]

Probably unique or a specific thing, depending on what you want

[fallow grove]

honeslty that math seems to make sense so I'll take your word for it and just reroll what I don't like

Right now I want to get my Idols I think I need 1x1 Mana, Mana and Health

[carmine smelt]

yea so there are a lot of different idol prophecies and the weighting bonus from idol lens is pretty high. You want Wealth + Rhyme + Small Idol iirc

[fallow grove]

I also need a new helm with t7 channel cost because no runes of havoc

but I have run out of favor at least I'm rank 12

[carmine smelt]

Don't bother with exalt prophecies, they suck. You'll get it quicker by running generic rune prophecy for havoc runes, then crafting T1 channel on a T7 exalt and havoc swap

Imprints are very powerful for exalts, prophecies are more cost efficient for uniques, generally.

[fallow grove]

ok but I also need some t7 bases, can I edit my loot filter to only show the base that I want?

[carmine smelt]

yep, you would need to select the type, then subtype becomes available

but also glyph of insight can roll into base anyway

sub type isn't top priority for imprint anyway though as it rerolls often, you'll get it but probably a couple iterations

[fallow grove]

well I need the leonin base

the planner doesn't have a unique helm

[carmine smelt]

yep, just pick up every T7 helm base and throw a couple insights at it

until you get leonine with T7 and decent FP

shouldnt take long

[fallow grove]

I don't have insight?

or Idk what that even is xD

[carmine smelt]

sorry Envy I meant

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/IIzAMGZVBWLSA

[fallow grove]

ok got it. so as Im leveling up an affix at the end try to get the base I want?

[carmine smelt]

yep

[fallow grove]

I'm super new and don't quite understand the crafting, I hate the FP system

ok so find helm with say Mana health and open prefix, craft channel cost, havoc until the t7 is where I want it, envy until I get the sub type I want then finish with evolution

[carmine smelt]

Just consider every drop as disposable, they aren't meant to all become perfect, the game power is balanced around that

[fallow grove]

yeah I'm just kind of used to POE and only just barely

[carmine smelt]

Easiest is probably to get T7 helm with open prefix, imprint it, then craft channel cost on procs, havoc for hit, maybe seal a T1 and craft health or mana. You could also Evo first then do removal to delete bad affixes if they are all bad, will eat a lot of Fp though

If you try to do many steps on every helm you drop you'll probably FP fail on most of them

So you want to imprint a base that's close to what you want so you only need to do a few steps on each proc

[fallow grove]

yeah that makes sense ok so the evolution seals the affix right?

so what I really need to be doing is getting runes of havoc

[carmine smelt]

yep

exactly, do generic rune prophecy or kill the Rift Beast. Imprint rampant coast in your weaver tree

[fallow grove]

already been doing that those rift beast are kinda Ripy though

[carmine smelt]

tru

[fallow grove]

like I can kill them its just sometimes I just get popped at 500c

[carmine smelt]

yeah thats normal

[main frigate]

This game is much more simple than Poe if you can get used to Poe gameplay. I started from le so I have troubles to understand how to play Poe 2 on the opposite

Good luck on finding idols you want

[fallow grove]

ok so run the rune prophecies, and get better idols(still don't know how to get memory amber quickly)

[chilly ember]

imprint rampant coast woven echo and buy amber bags from skarven basically

[fallow grove]

ok I have rampant coast imprinted already, I didn't know that was something I could buy I thought I was saving the "keys" to buy the runes of evolution

[carmine smelt]

you shouldnt need that many evos tbh

[chilly ember]

evo is kinda a low drop rate but rift beast can drop them as well, i got all my evos that way

[fallow grove]

well I currently only have the one

again I got this game like on sunday

[chilly ember]

you shouldn’t need them often for a while

once you start wanting t7 + t8 then you will need more for sure but that’s not for quite a while

[fallow grove]

I need for reduced channel cost, I'm playing VK WP

[carmine smelt]

yeah but you need like maybe a couple to make your placeholder T8 helm, then you have other priorities until you go for T7 + T8

[chilly ember]

one is fine for now, you will get more as you keep playing

[fallow grove]

ok got it you guys were talking about double exalted t7s

[carmine smelt]

yea those are a bit more RNG since you'll need to hit RNG on the evo

[chilly ember]

yea t7t8 is actual torture though wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy

[carmine smelt]

and higher chance of deleting FP

a lot of moving shit around to get good affixes

[fallow grove]

seems like it should be the last step then right?

[chilly ember]

yea that’s like super unnecessary minmax stuff

don’t need anywhere near that for uber

[carmine smelt]

t7 t8 probably comes after at least 1T7 on every piece, and probably a few T7T5s or even 2T7s

[fallow grove]

ok got it. I just have kind of hit that wall of not know what I need to be doing.

[carmine smelt]

lowest hanging fruit is 1 priority T7 / T8 on each piece

plus better idols

[fallow grove]

yeah, so prophecies and rampant coasts, should I also keep farming Worldsplitters?

for rerolling the affixes on my current one, it doesn't have the greatest roles its only lp 1 and the nemesis guys have been bricking my others

[carmine smelt]

probably, you can just use the boss woven echo for those if you want too

good roll with T7 splitter isn't too hard

[fallow grove]

mine currently have t7 melee crit its just got dooky rolls

[carmine smelt]

ah yeah you can reroll post slam but it rolls the exalt and unique mods

[fallow grove]

I have like 20 spares

[carmine smelt]

so the chance of good on both is worse than just rolling the 1LP then slamming a perfectly rolled flat crit T7

yep, roll those for good, then slam perfect T7 crit

[fallow grove]

ok so just run with what I have until I get a better LP1 base then slam

how bad is it to try and go for lp2?

[carmine smelt]

It's realistic, depends how try-hard you want to go

I wouldn't go for a LP2 world slam without a 2T7 exalt though personally

its too annoying to farm for less than that

[fallow grove]

ok so its not a priority for a little while.

but achievable

[carmine smelt]

yea, some people have 3T7 splitters iirc

that's like multi hundred hour stuff though

[fallow grove]

yeah I don't know if I'll be trying for that, but maybe once I understand how to get a ton of them

currently I have just been farming the boss then the harbinger

[acoustic palm]

the good part, all the end game content which is basically 1 boss, can be done without LP3/LP4

[fallow grove]

yeah I'm wanting to try uber abberoth but don't think I'm at all prepaired

ok I think I got a usable helm.

the base is wrong but I think I can work with it for the time being

[exotic solar]

Do you guys have faith in marksman rework?

[south moat]

What marksman rework?
it says 2 rogue skills, rogue updates

[exotic solar]

Well, they gonna update marksman right?

They have to, there are many noobtraps in other classes but marksman is a noobtrap as a whole.

[south moat]

I'm sure marksman is getting updates yes
but I doubt it's a whole rework

[scenic carbon]

will it be a rework

?

[exotic solar]

Cant wait to ignore elemental arrow section for 5th year in a row.

[fallow grove]

well I deleted the FP on my helm craft

[distant brook]

Hi guys is maxroll frogs guide ok or you maybe have better planner? Cheers

つ ◕◕ ༽つ Summon dev environment art stream ༼ つ ◕◕ ༽つ

[primal abyss]

No plans on such stream but as usual you know we'll let you know Kirra 🤣

I apperciate your passion for the arts, very much

[main frigate]

Oh, so the stream from this Saturday isn't an dev art stream. I'm upset.

Artists in EHG can be removed from the list of possible special guests

[main frigate]

I can't do achievements like Judd if I can't passionate about a thing like him :)

[primal abyss]

I should remind you that I think there are many others who wants a certain kind of stream too 😆

They understand that it isn't always feasible, especially with the team focusing on the upcoming Seasons. Like I said, I admire your passion and eagerness to see it but even if we were planning on it we couldn't tell you until the announcement or event was ready.

I might sound like a broken record but if there is a particular stream that you and others want to see, drop it in #suggestions

[turbid silo]

Let's not do this or propose doing it here as cheating is in violation of our Code of Conduct which you can review here.

[sturdy acorn]

I was joking.
Wasn't cheating in offline perfectly fine tho?

[primal abyss]

To be clear cheating is never "perfectly fine"

[main frigate]

Van sounds like a broken record indeed

[sturdy acorn]

I mean, if it is offline, no-one gets harmed and no one gets set back
a lot of games even provide cheatcodes for offline.
so "never" is a bit of a strong statement.
but i agree that it is never fine in an online environment or any environment, where others get impacted beyond what they subscribe/agree to.

but i seem to recall a statement on reddit that made it clear, that cheating on offline characters is absolutely tolerated, for aforementioned reasons.

i cheat 100% in sims, but that's only because i have 0% care for the gameplay, and i only want to build 😛
i have not ever in my life touched cheats or ahcks for multiplayer or coop games

[night marten]

they cannot track what you do offline...except for when you announce it on their discord server

[south moat]

You can mod the offline yes but talk about it isn't allowed here and it's still against the ToS
just that they're not going to do anything about it if you do mod the offline
They also will not help if you brick your game

[turbid silo]

We cannot track anything done in offline so for it to be "okay" is irrelevant.

In true offline anywyas

[sturdy acorn]

that's fair

i haven't so far

and i don't want to

just got a bit frustrated for a sec with not dropping any purples for my lp3 and 4s xD

[turbid silo]

I'm just making it clear for everyone here 🙂

[sturdy acorn]

in two months of target farming them

x.x

[turbid silo]

Yeah, LP3 and LP4's are incredibly hard to fine

find

[sturdy acorn]

no i HAVE the lp3 and 4s

i just dont have the purples to make use of the lp v.v

[primal abyss]

I'm wishing the best of luck with the grind though..it's real

[sturdy acorn]

which is what makes this so bitter

[primal abyss]

but you got thiiis

[sturdy acorn]

im fine with not dropping the lp, cuz i know how rare they are, some close to 1:1kk

[primal abyss]

As you play through and get ideas or suggestions regarding the gameplay loop and/or cycle note them down and share them in #suggestions

[sturdy acorn]

the purples on the other hand i'd expect have a more reasonable droprate, but my game be like "nah fam, you got the LP uniques, lets watch you struggle on the purples you need"

i mean, no issues in previous seasons, just string of bad luck, after insane luck on my LP4 and LP3s.
don't think that justifies any "suggestions" 😄

but thank you anyway

and my apologies if me making that joke the other day was in violation of TOS

[copper sorrel]

how does that work? you offer a purple item and the 4lp randomly gets 4 stats off the purple item?

[sturdy acorn]

yeah, cache of eternity, in Temporal Sanctum, lvl 100

[copper sorrel]

I never got so far ingame

Does it matter how the purple item's rolls are or do they get rerolled in their respective tier on the 4lp?

[main frigate]

I have many cool ideas... Wait a while

[sturdy acorn]

successfully defeating the boss in Temporal Sanctum, allows you to offer purple and transcribe it's Affixes and Prefixes into a Unique, granted it has LP
the more LP it has, the more of those stats it can take on.
the higher the level you chose when entering, the better your options are at selecting which affix or prefix you chose will actually end up on the item, with lvl 100 meaning it is guaranteed.
the remaining LP get filled in randomly with the existing affixes and prefixes.
at level 100 that is

and to my understanding, it literally just moves them, without rerolling

which is, why you aim to get a t7 of the most wanted stat, or at least t6, and the rest be as ideal as possible among the ones you want.

@copper sorrel

@main frigate please correct me if i made a mistake here

[south moat]

You can pick one affix starting tier 2 dungeon.
but higher dungeon just allows for higher lvl unique to be slammed, no more guaranteed things than that 1 roll.

[sturdy acorn]

100 mentions that the chosen one is guaranteed 100%, leading me to assume lower tiers do not guarantee

[south moat]

It's always guaranteed if you run a tier 2 dungeon or higher and just pick that

[main frigate]

:)

Ok I'm done

They will understand which questions I asking.

what does chance to upgrade mean exactly?
upgrade affix tiers?

also wondering what actual purpose the kuckoo serves, if you could help me with that too, please.
cuz i do wonder why i would want a substitute item with okayish stats for some base builds, if i have a random chance to "lose" it

[primal abyss]

Gotchu. I had to check the item out haha I've not used it personally but I think its just the implicit that changes so that slot is upgraded/changes to another

I meean I've not used Kuckoo because it just never worked for anything I've used got a screen of the one you found?

[sturdy acorn]

where to post?

[main frigate]

#❔┃ask-the-community

[sturdy acorn]

its not particularly good, but it seems like it may be interesting for ward builds until their endgame items come together

[main frigate]

It's a channel for asking questions with pictures

[sturdy acorn]

ahh thank you

just confused why anyone would ever want an item that has a chance to literally just turn into something utterly useless 😄

[primal abyss]

That works also lets other people chime in esp if someone has used it for a build, they'd be able to offer some other sort of assistance or input

Which reminds me I need to start up one more class before season's end. Any suggestions from chat? Perhaps Sentinel or Mage? 👀

[sturdy acorn]

i kinda am curious to see a runic mage

[south moat]

can't go wrong with sentinel

[main frigate]

can't go wrong with mage

[sturdy acorn]

crossover episode?

[main frigate]

Then Van choose rogue

[primal abyss]

Is rogue the meet in the middle? hahah

Hmmm

[main frigate]

You shouldn't think which character, you should think which mastery

[primal abyss]

I'm leaning towards Runemaster...spellblade... or Void knight or MAYBE forge Guard

[main frigate]

Let's rng to decide

[strange gale]

So when we getting the next season?

[night marten]

march 26th

[strange gale]

If only it was sooner.
This game would be so much better if the wait with seasons wasn't so damn long

[night marten]

yes. but then players complain that the season isnt interesting or big enough, like s3 was. this longer season is the devs trying to give the players what they want

[strange umbra]

Good morning Travelers 🙂

[primal abyss]

Hello Muffinnn!

[strange umbra]

[south moat]

gm muffin

[strange gale]

We have actively said we want seasons to be more often :/
The only thing people didn't like in S3 was how broken things were on launch. And now it's that it has not enough content for how long the wait is.

[night marten]

there were a couple pretty long conversations with multiple comments from Kain throughout. But these ones i am sending you say that while they hit the 4ish month timeframe it wasnt 'big enough' or had a 'minimum content' basced on feedback they recieved, and that they are prioritizing the amount of content, and not hitting the frame this time. they appear to rather have good seasons less often then not good seasons more often while they increase their speed.

[strange gale]

What they need is more developers ngl

Team is too small

[sturdy acorn]

i want all seasons immediatelly and the game allowing me to chose which season i create my character in.
kthxbye
(||joking obviously, would be dope tho to be able to play past seasons by creating a character for em, as i am sure a lot of players have missed one or two, or will miss some future ones)||

[night marten]

they hired a good amount of people (esp with the krafton money people were also complaining about). but believe it or not it takes time to get all those people into the company and get everything working smoothly internally.

they devs are trying their best, with what options they have available make the best decision they can, but they cant predict the future. the biggest problem is the player base and patience . nothing happens overnight, and it takes time to make things

[night marten]

unfortunantly a section of the player base actually acts like this.

the good thing with LE is so far every season has gone core, and they havent cut anything from the game. so even if you are new jumping into s4...you have missed exactly 0% of content ever

[strange gale]

Oh I know that, it's just that we can't keep having wait times like this, it hurts player sentiment and retention

[night marten]

yes. but you need to give the devs more than less than one season to fix their timetables.

with the new hires

[golden crater]

Been awhile since I played a build with experimental affix. I remember there being a way to seal experimental affixs. Cant seem to find the rune anymore. Is there a way to do this still?

[night marten]

the rune was removed and a woven echo is in its place

rune prison complex

[strange gale]

Hopefully by next season then things will be smoother for them and we'll get seasons more often with solid amounts of content

I just hate having little reason to play a game I love

[night marten]

i agree. hopefully after the longer s4, s5 and beyond is smoothed out.

[sturdy acorn]

yes, but eventually you will reach a breaking point of player burden of knowledge, where there is so much content overall, that casual players will feel lost and overwhelmed.
look at PoE and PoE2, both games are massively overloaded with core content, to the point of where a casual will very quickly be overwhelmed.

[strange gale]

Poe is a special kind of bloated tbf

Over 10 years of constant new systems and power creep within them

[night marten]

yeah but we are a pretty long ways away from that. also currently they dont keep 'old seasons' available you know...so they would like have to take out all the new code to make the older seasons...which isnt really viable

tho if you wanted to you could throw in a #suggestions thing and see if they could start

[strange gale]

Honestly love how everything goes core

Means we get a season to tinker and learn then we min max the next season

[night marten]

and honestly nothing that LE does is really that complex compared to poe. its very much just 'kill thing get loot'. i dont have to balance 5 different things and a skill tree the size of saturn to make a 'profit'

[strange gale]

Fr

Meanwhile I wanted to get into syndicates and ngl, I'd rather not watch a 1h tutorial to actually have a clue what's going on

It's a big reason why I just do delirium tbh

[sturdy acorn]

i am half with you and half not.
I am quite apt at games, and my gf is not a stranger to games either but not that deep into different types of games.
She's played Diablo 1,2,3&4 a lot.
When she watched me Play LE, she wanted to play it too.
After 10 hours she came back to me and felt completely overwhelmed with some of the content and especially stats.
I am just saying, that point will come and it is less far off than you as an experienced LE player might suspect.
Don't use your own experience scale to gauge such aspects, it's similar to League pros saying that there is no difference between Iron and Challenger.
Yes there is a massive gap, but their perception is skewed

[sturdy acorn]

Mostly agreed

[strange gale]

Tbf, the knowledge gap is also depending on the person

Some people take a while to understand things in a game, others can get the gist of it immediately

[sturdy acorn]

no, intuition gap depends on the person, knowledge gap depends on the amount of time you have or had to take a deep dive 😄

[strange gale]

True, me not good words xD

[strange gale]

We love our loot lizard

[south moat]

But do the loot lizards wizards love you?

[night marten]

yeah, i dont think 10 hours is quite enough to grasp LE. diablo is a lot easier cuz its just "green arrow go up good" and has a lot less options overall for gearing. LE is definitely a little more complex than that. but you aren't wrong where some newer players might be overwhelmed but i also dont think its complex enough to be a massive issue yet

[obtuse bay]

we love anyone who loves us and we steal loot from anyone who hates us

[night marten]

and LE does have a pretty good game guide built in that many other ARPGs dont. and their tutorial isnt particualarly lacking

[sturdy acorn]

TBF, understanding D4s Paragorn correctly is also not an easy feat.
A lot of stuff in D4 looks straight forward, until at a certain point you realise that as straight forward as it is, it is not always the right thing to do 😄

[night marten]

yeah the boards are definitely harder than anything else

[sturdy acorn]

I agree overall tho, D4 is a lot more casual than LE, with LE comparatively being a lot more casual than PoE(1&2)

[night marten]

its also weird to hear cuz i dont really consider myself a whiz at LE or buildmaking but at some level someone out there thinks im a genius

[obtuse bay]

Le is middleground for arpg fans, not too easy and not too difficult to play

[sturdy acorn]

But don't underestimate the hook curve for a new player.
First 30 minutes decide interest.
First 2 hours decide passion.
First 12 hours decide retention.
First 24 hours decide longevity.
Very simplified

[steep river]

To add onto what Eagles was saying, when Rune Prison Complex woven echo crafting replaced Rune of Research and Glyph of Insight, the ability to Seal Experimental Prefixes was also removed.

So you can currently get the Experimental Prefixes on items as drops from Exiled Mages or you can craft on Experimental Prefixes with Rune Prison Complex woven echo, but Experimental Prefixes can't be Sealed.

From the Season 2 patch notes

• With the addition of the Thaumaturgy Device, we have removed the Glyph of Insight and Rune of Research from the game.
• Developer note and clarification regarding previously given incorrect information: Rune of Research was previously guaranteed and the only way to seal an Experimental affix. Experimental affixes cannot be obtained as shards, which means that Experimental affixes are no longer able to be sealed. We felt this a safe trade-off for the ability to more easily target Experimental affixes on good item bases and the ability to increase them to higher tiers using Rune of Havoc.
  https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-tombs-of-the-erased-patch-notes/75247#heading--crafting-experimental

[strange gale]

Understanding no, but actually getting meaningful increases from it and not wasting points, big yes

[obtuse bay]

I think LE has lack of events in this case, ARPG statistics say, ARPG games have most players when season starts and it decreases slowly but If there is no engaging content, they lose players faster

[night marten]

the devs have asked for ideas for events and such. so if you have one put it in #suggestions

[sturdy acorn]

haha, my gf has been playing D4 since it came out.
I had a look at her Lightningball Sorceress six or seven weeks ago.
And it did well, but the Paragorn board was a mess xD
on paper most of it looked nice, but she missed a lot of synergies.
After I redid it she could easily push Pit 105, when before she struggled at pit 90

[strange gale]

Boards and iffy overall. On the low end it's just "path go this way, big nodes good"
On the high end it's "how can I as many of these useful nodes in as little points as possible "

As also a release player, I still am horrible with board optimisation, always could save a few points extra

[sturdy acorn]

yeah, optimising i am not 100% good at either.
but i understand the intricacies of interactions better than the average, so i intuitively understand that +lightning damage is not always the most effective for lightning damage (very simply put)

[strange gale]

Yeah, the balancing of flat and % is where hell starts to get real

[sturdy acorn]

not just that.
in some instances when min maxing your final values, dropping straight damage for control and minor damage can be highly beneficial

pushing higher pits with raw damage is possible but more riskful than pushing with a little less damage and amplified control

[strange gale]

Oh easily, people underestimate how good for damage survivability is. Can't kill things if they kill you after all

[sturdy acorn]

yup, but you also have damage amp vs controlled targets etc. which when applied correctly can reach higher total damage output than straight applied damage

[strange gale]

Yep, good old multiplicative scaling on entire different effects

[obtuse bay]

when every items and skills starting to work and let's you dealing big damage, it feels so good

it's most satisfying thing for arpg

[balmy arrow]

big lizard

[coral storm]

I heard this game has amazing summons for a summoner class

[bleak mason]

yes thers this guy how summon hammers. you should try

[coral storm]

I’ll probably get the game tonight

[steep river]

Lots of different summons. Almost all classes have them. Acolyte class has minions like Skeletons, Zombies, Golems, Wraiths, and an Abomination. Primalist class has companions like Wolves, Raptors, a Scorpion, and a Bear. Also has Totem minions. Sentinel class has forge weapon minions. Rogue class has Falcon and minions like Ballistas. It's just Mage class that doesn't really have summons, outside of stuff like Elemental Bees.

There's also plenty of options to play without them if you prefer that.

[coral storm]

That’s cool

Forge weapon minions

I wanna look that up

[sturdy acorn]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[zinc blaze]

hey now runey boi can summon a turret that shoots when he shoots

thats sorta a minion

kinda

[sturdy acorn]

I forgot to take my Atropy LP3 craft out of cache and teleported out....

[zinc blaze]

[night marten]

It will stay there

You just gotta beat julra again

[main frigate]

Cool choice

[sturdy acorn]

i's not there 🙁

[zinc blaze]

did you go to the correct time

[sturdy acorn]

yeah, i had forged it. i checked both caches. both empty

gotta say, this is the probably only thing Diablo does better.
Teleport relevant items to your chest if you accidentally leave the area

[zinc blaze]

and your sure its not in your inventory or equipped right

[sturdy acorn]

only my old Lp1 is equipped, and only the stuff i have for the next run in inventory

also nowhere in chest, just checked there too

[zinc blaze]

uhhh

assuming you visited no shops

try relogging into the game?

[night marten]

Did you do the same tier

[zinc blaze]

I know sometimes the game gets confused and the item is actually still there but you can't see it

relogging should fix that?

[sturdy acorn]

i did same tier.
but i also did one run of a timeline, fully convinced i had them equipped, and only realized it after that i didn't

okay, random hammer of lorent lp4 drop... any build that uses that? xD

[zinc blaze]

giga juice leveling hammer

you can probably use it as a late game weapon but imo it falls off at that point (compared to other options)

[night marten]

Doing the timeline inbetween shouldnt matter. But it has been saved in the cache for many other players. Not sure why it didnt for you

[sturdy acorn]

it is offline afterall

[night marten]

Yeah its mostly a lvling hammer

[sturdy acorn]

and offline seems to have some wonky moments

[zinc blaze]

offline strikes again

[night marten]

Yeah

[zinc blaze]

wait offline or true offline

[night marten]

Something something server saves

[sturdy acorn]

reported an offline bug yesterday where doing an alternate timeline echo after using stability erased my stability after completing the echo xD

next season only online i guess :X

quick question, does attack speed influence warpaths hitrate?

[coral storm]

Would you guys recommend this game over other arpgs like path and or Diablo ?

[lean berry]

Depends on what you want to get out of the game.

[coral storm]

I just wanna play a fun summoner class and have an army

[sturdy acorn]

yes and no

[lean berry]

Do you care about trade? Does a long content update cadence bother you?

[sturdy acorn]

you will find as a casual, that D4 will offer an easier experience

if you want to spend time in endgame content, LE will be more interesting

[coral storm]

Like having to wait forever for an update ?

[night marten]

90% yes

[sturdy acorn]

also depends on how much time you are willing to invest into finding and upgrading your gear

[sturdy acorn]

90% sure or 90% of it? xD

[night marten]

90% sure

I havent played wp in so long. Lol

[lean berry]

Yes, LE has longer gaps between updates than the other games mentioned. This is an ongoing issue that the developers are trying to address as far as I'm aware, but right now that is the case.

[coral storm]

And trade like trading players for stuff I need ?

[lean berry]

Right, trade refers to trading items. If trade is a non-negotiable thing for you, then Path of Exile or Diablo 4 would be better choices.

LE has systems to make trade less necessary, though.

[coral storm]

Well I’m new to arpgs so I mean if I get so far in this game I can always start something else while waiting

[coral storm]

So there is no trade system in this game but items are easier to get ?

[lean berry]

So if your desire for trade is simply loot acquisition (not profit acquisition) then LE with Circle of Fortune is still good.

[lean berry]

There is trade, but it's currently dead.

[sturdy acorn]

also, if occasionally losing your cursor is an issue for you (depending on the class you play), LE could prove a challenge 😄

if enough is happening on screen, you might lose track of where it is for a second or two 😄

[coral storm]

I just would want stuff that would get my build to a point where I want it

[lean berry]

LE gives you two systems: Merchant's Guild (a trade-based item economy) and Circle of Fortune. These are factions you can choose. In your case, if all you care about is being able to farm items, you can just choose Circle of Fortune which gives you systems to make it easier to target farm.

[coral storm]

Well I also don’t care if I have to throw some money into the situation if that’s the case

Is there seasons in this game ?

[lean berry]

There is, next season is coming up end of March

[coral storm]

Okay well I think I’ll just give it a try and play acolyte

[eternal oyster]

I'm playing a necromancer pet build for the first time. It's pretty good

[coral storm]

How long does it take for like progression with like Diablo having full legendary gear by like a hour or few and path after days 😭

[sturdy acorn]

if you truly want an army, go for druid, as necro (i find) in lategame needs a lot of coordination and asymmetrical builds

[lean berry]

For context, the current season launched on August 21 and the next season is March 26 (I think?). This is what I meant by the long content update cadences. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy the abundance of content that already exists, just offering some disclosure there. If you want more regularity of seasonal releases, Path of Exile (and PoE2) both have a guaranteed 4 month season cadence.

[sturdy acorn]

druid aka primalist

[coral storm]

Wow August of last year

How big are the updates at least

[lean berry]

Compared to a PoE update that happens every 4 months? Very small.

[coral storm]

And what is your go to arpg then

God forbid 😭

I’d expect a huge update

[lean berry]

As does most of the playerbase. It's been a long standing point of dissatisfaction among LE players.

Devs are trying to improve it, supposedly.

[eternal oyster]

My two favorite ARPG's are Last Epoch and Grim Dawn

[coral storm]

I’m ngl

[sturdy acorn]

to be absolutely fair, a lot of people requested MORE time between updates in the past it seems

[coral storm]

I looked up if this game even gets updates still

It’s daily players is like 1k on steam

[lean berry]

"Underwhelming" pretty much sums up most LE seasons. Not saying LE is a bad game, there's easily hundreds of hours of content in the game if you're willing to play multiple classes.

[eternal oyster]

Also hoping TQ2 ends up good

[coral storm]

Grim dawn is one I also want to take a look into

[eternal oyster]

It's a bit slower than LE but theorycrafting is quite good

LE crafting system definitely much better

[coral storm]

I think just for now I want to play acolyte and sentinel

[coral storm]

I’ll have to look into it

[sturdy acorn]

i have my gripe with grim dawn to be honest

[lean berry]

To be perfectly honest, I think LE is worth the money. You pay for the base game and you get hundreds of hours of content in return. I think it's great for what you pay.

[eternal oyster]

No arpg is perfect. A lot of it comes down to preference

LE is totally worth the money

[lean berry]

But just be aware of the live service issues with LE. Just wanna be clear what to expect.

[willow umbra]

anyone able to carry me through a soulfire? im doing campaign (also dont have a key) pls

[eternal oyster]

You can play offline ssf

[coral storm]

Is there dlc

[eternal oyster]

no, you just get season updates

[coral storm]

Well I know for sure THE arpg to play rn is PoE2

[eternal oyster]

and we got a new act recently

I refunded poe2. ggg has issues

[lean berry]

There is no paid content DLC, yet. But it's coming eventually. There's been an announcement to release DLC with experimental classes.

[coral storm]

I see okay

[eternal oyster]

I like LE endgame better

[coral storm]

Well the graphics n stuff look cool so I’ll have to try it anyways

[eternal oyster]

there are some lingering bugs and performance issues but otherwise, LE is pretty good

[lean berry]

Grab LE on sale and I think you won't regret it, even if you don't play it that much.

[coral storm]

Yea I’ll see when that happens again rn it’s like $35

[eternal oyster]

I got it on sale. It was definitely worth what I paid for it

[coral storm]

How much is it normally when on sale

[lean berry]

The lowest it's been during a sale is $26. So that gives you an idea of what to expect and whether it's worth waiting.

[eternal oyster]

Anyone know if TQ2 is going to be worth it?

[coral storm]

Yeah $9 idk if I wanna wait lol

[night marten]

No one can tell the future

[eternal oyster]

I got LE for $27.99

[lean berry]

I treat ARPG "box prices" as a longer-term gaming investment. Games like Grim Dawn and Last Epoch are meant to be played for hundreds, if not thousands of hours.

[coral storm]

I’ll probably just buy it after I get off work

Is it complicated

Like will I be on a wiki or YouTube 24/7

[lean berry]

Much more depth than Diablo, far less depth than Path of Exile.

So how much time you spend using online resources to learn/play the game is probably somewhere between "just vibing it" in Diablo 4 and "need a PhD" in PoE

[eternal oyster]

I may or may not have over 4,000 hours in Grim Dawn and about 700 hours in LE lol

[coral storm]

Does the game help me and guide me is what I’m basically asking

Okay

I don’t mind looking things up

[eternal oyster]

You just get a basic tutorial

[coral storm]

It’s just a problem when it’s all the time

I’ll obv look up builds n stuff

[eternal oyster]

if you want to get in depth, maxroll is a good resource

[coral storm]

Okay cool

[lean berry]

It might feel like "all the time" in the beginning because you're new. That should lessen and your reliance on external resources should just be the build planner on the LETools website.

And whatever builds you want to lookup, of course.

[coral storm]

Okay now probably my last question

Is this game two player friendly like online

And I progress with a friend

[eternal oyster]

idk I've never played multiplayer

[lean berry]

I don't feel the co-op experience is very polished.

Definitely seems like the worst out of Diablo 4 and PoE 2

Basically, "it exists"

[coral storm]

😭

lol okay

What about paid cosmetics are they cool at least

[lean berry]

Nope, they're awful. IMO, it's part of the reason the game has been struggling financially.

[inner finch]

ehhh, paid cosmetics might be much cooler in the future

I know EHG puts more effort on it now

[lean berry]

Yeah, I think recent circumstances might see them actually putting more effort into cosmetics.

[coral storm]

LMFAOO alright

[lean berry]

They need to find ways to make money and they've been neglecting cosmetics.

[coral storm]

Make it normal for devs to care for their game sooner

[eternal oyster]

it seems like performance is better than it used to be? Were some optimizations made?

[coral storm]

I’m saying make good cosmetics make money

[inner finch]

Pretty much

[coral storm]

Add a Halloween set Christmas summer

[lean berry]

Yeah I think that's what a lot of us have been telling EHG. Hopefully they listen to us.

[coral storm]

Etc

Bro just give characters swim suits and see how much you will make 😭

[eternal oyster]

idk why but a lot of tech companies struggle with business plans especially the finance aspect

[coral storm]

I agree idk either

[eternal oyster]

I'm good at both business and software engineering so I don't get it 🤷‍♂️

[coral storm]

The acolyte has so many different summons

I LOVE it

[eternal oyster]

I forgot there is the LE Game Guide which I've never read 😆

[coral storm]

Yo I can have a golem and a abomination !?

You can turn a golem into a T-Rex?

How th do you get a trex as a necromancer

😭

Never have I ever heard of that

[night marten]

The relic that lets you summon a trex

[coral storm]

There’s relics that give you summons to ?

God bless

[autumn socket]

hey' guy's.. can anyone help me with the loot filter? How do I get affixes for my specifc ones to work? Like Spell damage or Minion damage finding

[inner finch]

Here's aaron's guide to making loot filters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSgEAmWai_0

[normal relic]

when does the new season starts? 😮

[autumn socket]

i wanna make my own, not follow someone elses built in guides.. I'm not like that sorry

Next month. March 26th

[normal relic]

aight, ty

[lean berry]

Learning how something works is not the same as someone else doing the work for you. That's why it's a guide.

[autumn socket]

oh yeah gotcha

i'm watching it now i think i saw that video

I prefer ARP website than stupid max roll

Max Roll sucks for leveling guides.

[fallow plover]

I asked this in #❔┃ask-the-community but it doesn't seem that active right now.

So I started doing monos yesterday. I have questions. Anyone around to help?

[lean berry]

It's usually better to ask the question instead of asking to ask a question.

[fallow plover]

Sorry?

Is there a point to fully filling a stability bar for a timeline, beyond the locks?

[turbid silo]

Better rewards

and more stability which means you can progress faster

[fallow plover]

Does the stability spill over to the next timeline?

[turbid silo]

It doesn't

It's specific to the particular timeline

[fallow plover]

I'm sorry for the stupid questions, but once I unlock the 3 quest and beat them I can then move on to the next timeline right? So wouldn't progressing the stability past the locks be unnecessary when it comes to progression?

[turbid silo]

No such thing as stupid questions around here - I still learn something everyday in Last Epoch 🙂

[fallow plover]

😊

[turbid silo]

Correct, you can move on

Are you referring to... one sec starting game 😄

[fallow plover]

Lol

[night marten]

For the boss stability bar on normal monoliths...going way past the 3rd boss quest does nothing

[turbid silo]

You're referring to the bar at the top after the third quest, if so, then what Eagles said

bar within the timeline*

[fallow plover]

The bar that's over the timeline map is what I'm referring to.

[night marten]

For empowered, you can stack maximum 2 boss fight worth of stability

[night marten]

Yes we are talking the same thing

[turbid silo]

Yep

[fallow plover]

Ok lol just checking

I'm just finishing black sun.

[night marten]

For empowered you generally do the boss fight as soon as you can...even if its just to get to harbingers or better blessings. But at some point you might not care to do the boss on empowered

[fallow plover]

What is empowered?

[lost elk]

Helps to provide some "cushion" so you don't waste stability if you're close to the boss amount as well (when looking to farm mono bosses)

[turbid silo]

This is a good point

[fallow plover]

I'm guessing empowered is like new game+ for monos?

[turbid silo]

Empowered is just an increased difficulty

Measured by corruption

[fallow plover]

I'm assuming that in order to do empowered I have to reach the end of the timelines and start over again from the first timeline but with higher difficulty.

[turbid silo]

You have to complete all three level 90 normal timelines The Age of Winter, Spirits of Fire, and The Last Ruin

[sturdy acorn]

btw @turbid silo are mods (shader/reshade/lighting/vol) tolerated?

Nexus mods

[turbid silo]

Example?

[sturdy acorn]

https://www.nexusmods.com/lastepoch/mods/2

[fallow plover]

I'm about to fight The Black Sun's big boss for the first time. Wish me luck!

Defeated Rayeh in in under 3 seconds 😊

[sturdy acorn]

gz

[sturdy acorn]

@turbid silo

[turbid silo]

That seems fine, sorry was fighting the Observer 😄

[maiden sky]

You only need to kill one 90 timeline now right? Can do only right side to empowered?

[turbid silo]

AFAIK it's 3

[sturdy acorn]

gotta ask guys, is there any point to farming soulfire bastion lategame?

[turbid silo]

I would say yes considering that the Soul Gambler is one of the only way to acquire Tier 5 Sealed affixes

[sturdy acorn]

i have tons of evolution runes ._.

ive been farming for months straight and barely used most of it so far

i find good idols much more difficult to come by tbh

[broken trench]

Not only way right? Champion imprint can

If you have t5-7 on the item

[willow sentinel]

Also Nemesis

[turbid silo]

Oh yerp, you are right

[sturdy acorn]

accidentally created zerricks ambition boots and now i cant use it for lp any more 😂

54%ms lost v.v

[willow sentinel]

😢

[willow sentinel]

Its one

[maiden sky]

Yeah it’s been a few months but I was thinking my notes were right. 😊

[willow sentinel]

I just did a new character

And unlocked empower yesterday

[maiden sky]

I def didn’t min/max the start like I normally would just checking everything out but doing just right side is much better than it used to be.

I imagine it just changes a little bit about how you farm blessings later.

[sturdy acorn]

huh

is voidpath considered a spell?

aka, does it scale with void spell damage

[willow sentinel]

Voidpath ?

[sturdy acorn]

warpath

ma bad

[willow sentinel]

No, its melee

[fallow plover]

Just curious, how much health does the training dummies at the arena Hall have?

Took me what felt like 5 minutes of nonstop fighting to "kill" one

[steep river]

The boss one at the end has 1 billion HP. If you want to use that with a timer to calc dps

[sturdy acorn]

can someone please remind me, before i make another massive oopsie, if sealed t8 can be selected for LP transcription in the cache?

[steep river]

It can't. Sealed is ignored by Eternity Cache, including T8 Primordial special second slot Sealed.

[maiden sky]

Can’t slam sealed affixes

[sturdy acorn]

awh

okay thank you

[sturdy acorn]

@dreamy kindle please fix? xD

[fallow plover]

I defeated my first arena champion!

[turbid silo]

Woo! Nice!

[fallow plover]

Also. If it did it right I defeated the boss dummy in 2:43.43

[sturdy acorn]

OOOOF T7 Forge Strike Plates with 150% (max) rolled Melee Damage.. if only that would have been WP

[fallow plover]

I'm not good at math, would I just divide billion by that time?

[willow sentinel]

2 min 43 sec?

[fallow plover]

Yes

[willow sentinel]

Thats 6.15 millions dps

Ish

[fallow plover]

I got 6.119

Well ai did the math for me lol

😅

[willow sentinel]

Thats about right anyway

[fallow plover]

So is that good for lvl 73?

[willow sentinel]

6 millions dps and you are not even in empowered xD

God bear is so broken

[fallow plover]

Lol

[sturdy acorn]

btw what exactly is Rampant Coast reward?
what does "evolve RBL beyond normal limit" actually mean?

more lineages?

[willow sentinel]

You can make a longer lineage

[sturdy acorn]

ah gotcha

how many? default is 8 i think

[willow sentinel]

Thats I am not sure

[plucky saffron]

I haven't played in a while. Why is chat...non-existent?

[willow sentinel]

Because we are 5 months deep into the season and very few people are still playing

[fallow plover]

If this game had more seasons it might have more traffic.

[willow sentinel]

Indeed

Hopefully S4 is giga good and S5 come soon ish after and is real juicy

[fallow plover]

One thing Diablo succeeded at was hyping up their seasons.

[plucky saffron]

I don't really get that mentality with the seasons, but whatever.

[willow sentinel]

What mentality ?

[fallow plover]

I too am confused

[plucky saffron]

Like stop playing because the season hasn't changed. I either like a game, or I do not.

I don't care about the seasons.

[willow sentinel]

When you have played everything you want to do in the game, it sound about right to go play smth else, dont you think ?

[fallow plover]

^this

[willow sentinel]

Ill take my exemple

I played like 8 different builds this season (with more or less success)

Took a break and played smth else

And I am back to test even weirder stuff

[fallow plover]

I call it burnout

[willow sentinel]

Most people will play 1-2 build max

And then move on

[plucky saffron]

Yeah, I'll grant you that, but then they come back for the next season right?

[fallow plover]

I have experimented with all the classes. So far the beast master is my favorite.

[willow sentinel]

Yeah to see whats new and shiny

[plucky saffron]

And that's the part I don't get because the next season is going to be the same damn game with some gimmick mechanics tossed in.

[fallow plover]

New season usually means new content, new ways of building etc etc. make the game fresh again

[carmine smelt]

Some of us put in more hours in the first few weeks than many still playing now have put in this season, burnout is understandable

[willow sentinel]

But the balance change will make it so you will want to play a new build

I have a list of skills I am waiting EHG to buff so I can play them

[fallow plover]

I'm assuming some nerfs will happen and some buffs will happen to change the scale of the game.

[plucky saffron]

I probably did a poor job of stating my incredulity. I get the burnout factor. I get bored of these games all the time because they are, at their core, incredibly repetitive.

[fallow plover]

I'm assuming Bearquake build is going to get nerfed into oblivion.

[plucky saffron]

What I was trying to say is that seasons or no seasons, I'll come play again after I've had time to get over the repetitiveness, because honestly, I don't see much difference between the seasons. Core game is still the same.

[willow sentinel]

Do you want to hear smth funny
from what I calculated, if it was to retain 1/9th of its current dmg, it would become a good build

[fallow plover]

It's that OP?

[carmine smelt]

isn't it clunky though?

[fallow plover]

Not for me. Not yet anyway

[willow sentinel]

And more

[plucky saffron]

Like so far, the only thing I see that has changed is they got rid of the wormhole thing when you teleport 😄

[fallow plover]

I have done over a million damage in one crit

[willow sentinel]

Not the best clearer for sure, but 1 billion crit is smth 😄

[fallow plover]

At lvl 73

[carmine smelt]

I feel like if bear had the same boss kill speed as normal top builds it would drop to maybe C-tier because of the clear

even 1/10th of bear damage is still like 1 minute uber, yea?

[willow sentinel]

Smth like that yeah

[sturdy acorn]

so bear = bosskiller?

but lacks vs mobs?

[willow sentinel]

Yup

Clear is decent

But there are builds with 5x the aoe

[fallow plover]

It still has decent aoe

[carmine smelt]

naw it's slow

[willow sentinel]

Its not a bad mapper, because it OS everything

In a decent aoe

But its not fast

[zinc blaze]

its a steam roller

big slow and crushes everything

[carmine smelt]

is there some gameplay of a minmaxed bear mapping?

for comparison

[willow sentinel]

I remember someone posting a few vids in #🎥┃video-shoutout

But I am in bed now, dont want to look into it

[autumn briar]

i think chadilao did a hybrid bear frogs build, not sure if it was good

[carmine smelt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5h9vBinO0OI found this yeah

this is with full double T7 gear, including uber relic

[fallow plover]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QnaaeaRE this is me right now

[slow cloud]

Beastmaster, Level 74

:white_check_mark: This character build is verified

Game Cycle / Version:

Beneath Ancient Skies / 1.3.5

[carmine smelt]

this is probably a fair bit faster than normal setup

[autumn briar]

hm looks pretty cool

[carmine smelt]

it's not slow

not like "fast", considering 2kc with 2T7 that's reasonable clear

#🎥┃video-shoutout message for reference this was my LB setup, with much worse gear, and LB is not an S-tier clear speed build either, faster than bear by a fair bit

[plucky saffron]

Are set items still garbage?

[carmine smelt]

mostly yes

[willow sentinel]

In 90% of case yes

[plucky saffron]

Damn, that's one thing I'd hoped had changed in my absence.

[carmine smelt]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRmBYCYGYg this item exists now though

which made some things possible, like Vilatria set + Mad Ladle

[plucky saffron]

That is cool

[golden crater]

can a triggered skill. trigger the ailemnt overloads. They dont read direct but it doesn seem like I can get them. Im triggering marrow shards and necrotic converted rip lood and it doesnt seem like either are triggering the respective overload ?

[fallow plover]

Does placement matter for woven echoes?

Like does placing it further away from the center make it better?

[fallow grove]

is there any point to empowering a nemesis if it gives LP1?

[night marten]

For a few of them yes, mostly no.

The aura ones are important to place properly to buff other echoes.

And the orobyss shade ones still need distance for their drops just like normal orobyss

[night marten]

Each empower can give up to +3lp...so yes

Low chances sure, but better than 0

[fallow grove]

ok and If I'm going for at least lp 2 is there a point to picking up the items that it makes legendary with only 1 affix?

[dull topaz]

I've had a 1lp shield go to 4lp bro, always empower your nem and always blow on your pie

[fallow grove]

ok but should I even pick up the bricked legendaries that they drop

[dull topaz]

yeah if it bricks with 2 affixs then def, you can re-roll with those bricks

[fallow grove]

like I know about strife and rerolling

[dull topaz]

yeah depends on the item then I guess if its easy to get probably leave it but harder to get ones I'd usually take just in case

[fallow grove]

but the items that only get 1 affix are bricked so I just cut my losses.

[fallow grove]

currently its WorldSplitter I have like 50

[dull topaz]

example would be worldsplitter LP2s this season I mean hitting the 77 was always hard so we'd take it on any base and then just re-roll til base got good

haha there we go then ;D

[carmine smelt]

you could use them to reroll 1LPs before putting them in turtle so that if you get 2LP you will already have a good roll, not worth waiting for it but if you have them anyway it's a free reroll

[fallow grove]

I am keeping the ones that get LP1 but not the ones that get 1 legendary affix.

[carmine smelt]

yea I mean use the 1 legend affix to reroll the LP1 so that more of the LP1s you put in turtle are already well rolled

[fallow grove]

oh crap I didn't even think about that, honestly that is going to take up so much stash space

[carmine smelt]

it does yea

but it will reduce the amount of 2LP rerolls you do a bit at least

[dull topaz]

lol bro you didnt think of that but just told me 5 mins ago you were already doing that haha

Sucks I cant just give you my 77 spare WS ><

[fallow grove]

its all good

I am new to the game and need to learn the grind, I had someone give me a ton of endgame stuff is POE my first time boosted me into the endgame and then dropped me. I had endgame gear, but no direction or idea how to go about aquiring more gear like it.

also is there a good way to get more tower woven echos ya boi is out of amber

[carmine smelt]

Amber bag, buy it

[short vessel]

Use 1 affix bricks to reroll 0lps with poor rolls

[fallow grove]

I haven't seen any rift portals for some raisin

honestly I might just be blitzing through my maps way to fast

[short vessel]

What corruption are you at?

[fallow grove]

650

[short vessel]

Imprint rampant coast

[fallow grove]

done

[carmine smelt]

yep just speed run echos and do all the rampants. Also grab the gold blessing and zerrick woven node, turns out it makes more bones drop

do that for a while, buy a bunch of bags

[short vessel]

But yeah as frozen said rift beast parts are the best way to generate amber

If you stockpile a bit of it you can also spend it on mass cemetary of reweavings as those are amber positive too

Especially good if you're also after idol enchants, 1x1/1x2/2x1 weaver idols or inheritance of the erased

Or just random drop ww items

[fallow grove]

I am looking for just Idols in general, along with just filling mt map with nemesis towers. also I could probably pust 1000c just haven't done that grind yet

[short vessel]

If it's class specific idols then other than cof prophecies there isn't any particularly great way to farm them unfortunately

[carmine smelt]

Did they ever change class idol prophecies, iirc they didn't prefer your class

[plucky saffron]

So how did y'all finally get them to put shards directly into the crating inventory? I thought they said their tech wouldn't allow that? 😛

[carmine smelt]

we asked nicely for a while

[strange umbra]

We said we wouldn't do it 🙂 not that the tech wasn't possible - but we changed our minds

haha

[plucky saffron]

lol, fair enough...and good on ya for being flexible

[strange umbra]

(at least thats how it played out in my tenure so far - may have been statements that pre-date Muffin lol)

[main frigate]

I don't think you're new because you can reach 650c already. Corruption test DPS and defense hard.

Someone even don't know how to survive in 100c while played le for the first time (yes it was me)

Have poe experience mean you can swim in le easily

[fallow grove]

I installed the game on sunday, I'm new to this game not Arpg's

[main frigate]

Make sense on why you can master at le quickly

[plucky saffron]

Why does Wandering Spirits have a cast speed increase skill node when it has such a lengthy cooldown?

[lavish cypress]

If you're playing a lot, it only takes a couple of days to get to this level. Sky is the limit when you're not playing hardcore

The whole campaign takes like 8 hours total for a new player or something, after that its just constant mono farming

And he most likely looked up an OP build if he's been playing arpgs

[calm jay]

Depends on the play too, Sentinel walks through the campaign unless you force a fudged build, it's just designed with constant synergies.

[lavish cypress]

Yeah lol sentinel has dominated the HC leaderboards since season 0

Doesnt seem like its ever gonna change I guess

[fallow grove]

I'm playing VK WP

[carmine smelt]

theres a lot of traps in leveling, the difference in power between skills especially early on is really high

good skill even a noob will breeze through

[fallow grove]

like honestly my gear is'nt that freat and I did 1600c with someoneearlier and my only problem was a couple of deaths

[coral storm]

are there other relics that summon something

[south moat]

there's the trex and crossbow guy

[coral storm]

i was debating to buy diablo 4 or path of exile 2

and now

i think imma just get this game

lol

[primal bough]

poe2 will be free once its out of EA if that helps

[fallow grove]

Anyone down to chill in a vc its getting a bit dull grinding.

[scenic carbon]

poe2 will be free eventually

[heady night]

Hype day baby!

[night marten]

There are delays built into skills after you press the button to when the ability actually casts (usually like fractions of a second). There is also delays after casting before you can move again

[obtuse bay]

lizard rex is special guest of today's stream

[primal abyss]

Good Day and Happy Friday, everyone :]

[south moat]

Hey Van, happy friday

[primal abyss]

How goes it? Any fun Weekend plans?

[willow sentinel]

👋

Trying to organise a clash for the weekend 😄

[south moat]

Gym
maybe play something, probably go to sauna
the usual
how about there?

[inner finch]

Man, Europe really haven't changed since the 1600's

[balmy arrow]

I need the same lizard icon as you have

[primal abyss]

A whole lot of nothing, probably. Actually.. adulting -_-

[willow sentinel]

League of Legend Clash 😄

[primal abyss]

Oh no Vlad

I wish you the best of luck

I will work out 💪 and play video games in my free time though!

[main frigate]

I figured it out. You're the person who will take the responsibility of updating this blog because your account post the last blog wrote by Wick. You want to do it as well as Wick so you're stressful. It's why you don't know Vlad is joking only and thought he's doubt your ability. It explains why you not sure what meet the team is in the first reaction.

Take it easy. What I appreciate Wick's job on eterra monthly is Wick can figure out a few creative ideas, like le bingo, food talk and meet the team.

You will do it well, I don't know what your plan is though.

[brazen wing]

If you dont clear monos on steam deck between sets at the gym then what are you even doing

[south moat]

Don't got a steam deck

[main frigate]

What adulting is?

[willow sentinel]

5 stack, ez loose, plenty of fun

[brazen wing]

Boring but necessary stuff like doing dishes or laundry

Do not confuse adulting with adultery

[main frigate]

(searched what adultery mean just now)

[primal abyss]

THIS. EXACTLY. Gotta get them IN GAME and IN GYM GAINS

Steamdeck is awesome.

Oh gosh Kirra, haha

But yes, its when you have to be "responsible" to handle things like chores, not so fun errands, appointments, etc.

[main frigate]

Pet your black cat is a good way to spend these moments

[main frigate]

Do some painting 2h and quite tiring, taking a break

[primal abyss]

Enjoy the break

[coral storm]

Is this game good or okay

Like compared to Diablo and path

[south moat]

I should cook but I'm feeling extra lazy today

[modest crescent]

is someone from sea? i need help beating harbringers djsflkasjl;

[strange umbra]

good morning Travlers

https://tenor.com/v5uZ.gif

[south moat]

gm Muffin

[strange umbra]

hiya nub

got any fun weekend plans?

[primal abyss]

Howdy Muffin!

[south moat]

Gym, sauna & play
How about you?

[strange umbra]

Mrs Muffin is taking me to the local science museum to see an exhibit on Pompeii for my bday 🙂

[south moat]

Sweet
Happy birthday

[zinc blaze]

yooo

Mrs Muffin is the goat, science museums are the best

[strange umbra]

Ya I am super excited - going for the exhibit but they also have an amazing planetarium - and just generally all kinds of cool stuff

[main frigate]

Why both of you asking weekend plans...

Is it a common way for greetings in US?
🤔

[south moat]

Well no
but it's friday so it's relevant now

[main frigate]

Remember to taste a delicious birthday cake 🤤

[last crane]

hello my friends

who else is hyped for the dev stream? 😄

[main frigate]

Interesting, I never see Chinese ask this type of questions lol

[willow sentinel]

Yup

For the first time in a while Ill be able to watch it live

[primal abyss]

Hello Meme

I think Friday is a good day to be excited for LE Stream~

[main frigate]

Culture barrier

[last crane]

well said

[willow sentinel]

200th + special guest + data reveal

[night marten]

there had better be some hype things to see today

[zinc blaze]

theres like 15 generic small talk questions that everyone asks about

how ya doing, got any cool plans, hows ya day going, etc.

[main frigate]

Oh my Jesus. Never know how to deal with these questions...

[night marten]

you dont know how you are doing?

[willow sentinel]

Anyone know what goes under "caster weapon" prophecies ?

Sceptre, wand, staff ?

[night marten]

anything with spell dmg iirc

[main frigate]

😵. I know how are you doing but I don't know how to answer

[night marten]

also offhands i think?

[zinc blaze]

I sure do hope it can drop swords with the spell damage affix on it

[willow sentinel]

Ah so Sword with exalted Flat Spell 😏

Maybe rune dagger too

[main frigate]

Quite dark...

Keep spells away from melee please

[zinc blaze]

of course its dark, I'm a void wizard

[night marten]

nope, you were right. just things with spell implicits

[willow sentinel]

Oh no

Thx

[night marten]

bruh why you police my post. its from tunklabs

[willow sentinel]

Oo Rune dagger prophecies

[night marten]

get outta here

[willow sentinel]

Didnt know they were a thing

[zinc blaze]

cause spellblade is a wizard/caster now or something instead of just melee

[night marten]

is he?

[zinc blaze]

the whole melee hit -> trigger spell thingy

[main frigate]

No idea how to accept spellblade

[halcyon sable]

Hi everyone, does armor_shred increase bleeding damage?

[strange umbra]

[zinc blaze]

no armor is vs hits, not dots

[night marten]

still sounds like a caster. instead of waving a wand he hits your face

still a somatic component

[zinc blaze]

unless the enemy has armor applies to dots but I don't think an enemy can have that?

[willow sentinel]

No, its for Hit only

[zinc blaze]

so you agree then that spellblades swords are caster weapons and should be included in that prophecy

[night marten]

same as i can swing a wand and use mana strike

[main frigate]

Mana strike 🤔

[halcyon sable]

Has the game finally got a DPS meter? Maybe some third-party programs or something?

[night marten]

think the melee/caster weapon categories are just bad for LE prophs

[zinc blaze]

you can smack the dummies at champions gate

[zinc blaze]

with how flexible/stat-sticky weapons are, I agree

[turbid silo]

Happy 200th Dev Stream day!

[zinc blaze]

🎉

[strange umbra]

[willow sentinel]

Devs are against adding one to the game, so I dont think we ll ever see one
However we know the boss dummy has 1 000 000 hp, so you record your time, and by the power of math you can get your dps

[brittle hollow]

The power of math compels you

[main frigate]

rare to see someone type numbers directly instead of 1m lol

[boreal cloud]

which monolith are diamond matrons and siege golems in?

[night marten]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/bestiary

[willow sentinel]

If you go Reign of Dragon, they are both present iirc

[boreal cloud]

thanks

[blissful vine]

@frank bramble u mentally ill or how much time completing 10000 echoes took ya?

[heady night]

48 days till March 26th InshaaAllah...=/

[vale drum]

"Thank you for applying."

Finally BambooHR is back up and running 😄

[main frigate]

Plus Judd work in le for 8 years. A special day with double happiness 🤔

Not far away from the 2nd anniversary...
