[main frigate]

I thought it's their design all the time

[simple bison]

It is

[main frigate]

Too many things they did I don't understand so I'm not quite care about that

Not a introduction that make sense if we talk that seriously

I want more space to do puzzles

[brittle hollow]

I didn’t have an issue understanding the system once I did my first play through and reached that moment.

There’s also not a lot to introduce. You slot idols in.

Idols come in different shapes and sizes and you have to put them in.

As you progress you unlock more spaces to slot idols.

I don’t see what doesn’t make sense.. it’s a system that progresses linearly and by chapter 7 it’s fully unlocked for you to get some extra stats

[tender marsh]

literally 2 year old. "Put shape into hole" stuff honestly...

[main frigate]

⬆️

why it's not make sense

[brittle hollow]

Sense is this:

Here’s 2 idols. One going up 2 slots, one going sideways 2 slots. Pick one and put it in.

Idols are choices. Nothing more, nothing less.

[sturdy acorn]

this

it's mean to make you chose so you learn from the first introduction, that you will have to chose, and can not have it all

[main frigate]

😅 ...... Alright. I see the logic. But I don't agree with this logic.

Give idols which can fill all holes but one more idol you will hold can do the same introduction

(My logic come from puzzle games so I can't understand logic from ARPG maybe)

[severe socket]

Why not increase the grid's size and add more idol shapes so that we can play Dredge while we play LE?

[simple bison]

Yeah there's nothing to "solve" during the introduction, it's not a puzzle or anything

it's basically just teaching you that you can't rotate idols and that you gotta make do with what you got

[brittle hollow]

How about Tetris and if we “beat” it we keep all the bonuses?

[severe socket]

🤷‍♂️

[willow sentinel]

When you fill the grid, the idols vanish

But you get legendary points

They don't do anything except saying how legendary you are

And there a leaderboard

[south moat]

My poor idols
just vanishing

[willow sentinel]

Yeah but you become more legendary

[main frigate]

hhhhhhhhh

[sturdy acorn]

so basically flask rogue wins cuz mini idol spam?

[median perch]

New guild? 🦎

[primal abyss]

Hello folks. Happy Friday to you all

[sturdy acorn]

Hello folks. Happy Friday to me indeed

[sly matrix]

would be better with new season today

[south moat]

Hey Van, happy friday

[primal abyss]

We're a month out sooo we're getting closer

[sturdy acorn]

can you move the timeline up by 3 days?

23rd is my birthday

[south moat]

sure
it'll be on 29th instead

[sturdy acorn]

that would be moving down the timeline

nice try

but technical failure 😄

[brittle hollow]

That’s a matter of perspective actually 🙂

Incomplete instructions instead 🤣

[primal abyss]

Ah, yes let me go ahead and inform everyone that it must be- I cannot do that Typhoon 😆

Happy Early Birthday though 🎂

[past rune]

is season 4 out

[primal abyss]

Season 4 drops March 26th~

[sturdy acorn]

actually no.
timeline moves left to right.
by definition moving it up, is moving it closer, so to the left.
that's why i specified TECHNICAL failure

[past rune]

thats like one more month 💀

[primal abyss]

I know 😭

I believe in you, though.

We can hold out for 1 more month, right?

[sturdy acorn]

what if we collectively say "no"?

[primal abyss]

Then at that point, you should explore cyro sleep or something

or learn how to time travel

Hahaha

[sturdy acorn]

so y'all rather send all of us to sleep than to meet our demands basic needs?

[primal abyss]

This is one of those very few times that there probably won't be a "meet me halfway" point 🤣 We just have to wait but I am glad folks are excited for S4

[sturdy acorn]

probably being the keyword

[primal abyss]

[elfin pulsar]

did some content add since April?

[simple bison]

Yep we got season 3 #news message

[elfin pulsar]

last time I played there was no season 2

[heady night]

i just saw new endgame in the roadmap separate from monoloth of fate

ohhhh goooddddyyy!

[simple bison]

Oh then there you go ^^

lots of new content then

[elfin pulsar]

did they add anything for shadow warrior? because I had quit when I couldn't get BBC

[simple bison]

Do you mean blade dancer?

[elfin pulsar]

shadow-oriented one yes

[primal abyss]

Season 4 has some new Rogue abilities you might be interested. It drops March 26th

[median perch]

Shadow dancer

[elfin pulsar]

you see, LE is the only game of this genre that allowed me to do this, and shield bash everyone to mortal injury
so that's great stuff
unfortunately I suppose there's still no fist...weaponing in the game

but well, not every game supposed to have it I guess

[primal abyss]

True but if you are up for it, I'd say drop anything like that in #suggestions

[elfin pulsar]

I hope they added something for shield bash...

okay it bsoded, trying again

[primal abyss]

That's never good.

Fingers crossed it was a one off thing

[elfin pulsar]

don't worry, this is my hardware and I know what exactly causes it

but the game still takes ages to launch and login

sorry game I don't have raid0 m2

damn, I wanted to play goth girl this time but remember the build I was interested in was inferior

reaper or something

[primal abyss]

Ah. Well hopefully its something you can fix easily or won't be affected when you play next

Nothing wrong with playing with something you find fun though

[elfin pulsar]

must admit shield bash bleed was the funniest of all I tried so far

because I love bleed and love shield bashing

[elfin pulsar]

basically I run 6800XT on 650W PSU, and it's not a fan of doing that before I undervolt GPU
so

1. it's hardware problem, and WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR bsod says that out loud
2. it's not something you can improve the game towards
3. it's quite acrobatic to reproduce at any different system
   so don't sweat about it in case you intended to

[primal abyss]

Alrighty. Thanks for the info and peace of mind 😆 I just know that isn't ideal when using a machine, regardless of what you're doing

[elfin pulsar]

well, I can testify that LE runs like doodoo on RX7600 in 2160p, because of no upscaler
but when I changed it to 6800XT, I was getting close to 90fps in end of time zone which I used as quick bench
so there's that
but since percentage of people with such screens might be between 2% and 5%, who cares right

[simple bison]

I get 90 fps on a 1080ti lol

The game is rarely gpu bound

[inner finch]

LE is very not GPU bound most of the time, yes

often its... code bound

[elfin pulsar]

not in 2160p muh doot

[simple bison]

fair enough

I'm on 1440p

[elfin pulsar]

in 2160p it's overwhelmingly GPU bound

which is fair because 2160p is exponentially more taxing than 1440p, compared to 1440p vs 1080p

[inner finch]

Depends on the GPU, but i know that there are scenarios where even a machine from 2035 couldnt provide satisfactory high refresh rate performance in particular levels

[elfin pulsar]

oh no, someone deleted my message where I "mined" soundtrack that's not included in soundtrack

which is from act 1 summit

#📚┃off-topic message bam

[simple bison]

I mean the first one is just a soundbite from one of the trailers iirc

but the second one is in the game

surprised it's not in the digital ost

[elfin pulsar]

back then I got suped mad at this and went on a journey to get it, and I did
naming is absolute garbage though, took me some time to figure out what I am looking for

like what does Z102 mean? why Z, why 102? why "cooldown"?
I get it that it's not user-facing content, but still weird

[inner finch]

The wonders of developer-coded names

[elfin pulsar]

oh it's not so bad as KCD2 asset packs where most files named IN CZECH

[sturdy acorn]

y'all have never seen dev coded names in mobas...
they are on another level of "why would you do that"

[turbid silo]

It's a HAPPY FRIDAY fam!

[elfin pulsar]

Good Friday Derrick

[muted cape]

I gotta wake up and adult in half hour 😞 looking forward to dev stream later

[primal abyss]

Ah. Adulting...better to get it out of the way now so you can play/relax later right?

[strange umbra]

Good morning Travelers 🙂 Happy Friday! wooooo

It has indeed been a good morning

quite ambiguous but grats anyway

[south moat]

Ah, finally back home

[primal abyss]

wb

[elfin pulsar]

damn, the game looks as cute as I remembered it since last time

and even top quote is still there

"for Raiyeh-- AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

[main frigate]

let me guess... Well best?

[primal abyss]

Welcome Back

Nice guess though

[main frigate]

lol

[heady night]

https://giphy.com/gifs/reactiongifs-uDwKGxTFrADvO

waiting for them teasers be like

[sturdy acorn]

obviously "worker boost"

[shut pollen]

been thinking of diving back into epoch, not worth it for now untill the 26th i assume right

[signal mica]

Could hop in get back on how to use basic in game features, fix up a loot filter, try a random build you have never played before if you have some free time.

I've barely played any of the builds, I mostly play minions and barely touched the primalist for companions, I've probably only played like 5%10% of builds available.

[shut pollen]

Same, Tho i generally prefer to jump into the season start. i just havent played epoch for a while so im not sure if its poe like where your old chars end up on a busted legacy server where nothing is really the same afterwards

[simple bison]

Well unlike Poe there's no difference in content between season and legacy

But yes all seasonal characters go to legacy at the end of each season

[shut pollen]

does legacy get all the new stuff from previous seasons or is it more like the basic version

[simple bison]

It gets all the new stuff

It's identical content wise

[shut pollen]

so if the new season drops, legacy inmediatly gets the new season content too?

[simple bison]

Correct

[shut pollen]

oh interesting

[simple bison]

The only exception is some pinnacle content, which is locked on legacy until it's cleared on season

To avoid people just instantly going and blasting it and spoiling it

[shut pollen]

oh does epoch have pinnacles now 😄

cool beans

[simple bison]

Yep ^^

We even have an Uber version of the pinnacle boss

[shut pollen]

thats very cool, epoch has come a long way!

[simple bison]

Which is currently the hardest static challenge in the game

Yep if you haven't played since before 1.0 there's quite a large amount of additions and changes

[shut pollen]

i remember my last char being something in the terms of hydra, with some color combinations i had to cast to make either a huge explosive blast, or spawn a hydra... anyway that was alot of fun and hella OP 😄

[simple bison]

Yee runemaster hydrahedron

[inner finch]

Hydrahedron

my beloved

[shut pollen]

thats it! haha

[simple bison]

It's still a thing afaik

[shut pollen]

is that still a viable build? might go for the og experience 😄

[inner finch]

When gameplay feels rewarding

[simple bison]

Pretty sure it's still viable, not completely certain though

[shut pollen]

yea hmm, guess im gonna have to have a sneak peak now 😛

[vernal sinew]

I haven’t played since bird guy was released. I’m looking forward to new season

Falconer*

[carmine smelt]

Yep its viable and quite strong still

Not sure if the build is still the same. You use Reowyn Fortress now for the "meta" one

[willow sentinel]

The mage god has spoken

[carmine smelt]

My prediction is that Runic Invo might be strong in 1.4 with the attribute stacking changes, along with access to a bigger variety of stats in different gear slots. (Runic likes a lot of weird off-role stats)

[zinc blaze]

I really hope the invokes get looked at scaling wise

[carmine smelt]

Scaling is one issue but a lot of them also just mechanically suck

[zinc blaze]

true

[willow sentinel]

The one with the fire hit and the lightning dot 🤤

[muted cape]

Minions ftw huge buffs!

[carmine smelt]

Plasma Bolt? Plasma fart? Plasma something. Not Plasma orb

[muted cape]

I tried runemaster before yeah... a lot of ri arent up to par

[carmine smelt]

Oh I tried this one, I forget why I didnt like it

[muted cape]

Lightning sniper beam when? I forgot what combo that was

[carmine smelt]

Yeah vilatria storm lance

[willow sentinel]

The randomness of the spark ?
The fact it has Hit and Dot ?

[carmine smelt]

LLL one did some big deeps though

[muted cape]

Yeah I cant wait till thats a build, and also the timed explosions

[willow sentinel]

Ball lightning was "meta" at some point , no ?

[carmine smelt]

You thinking of plasma orb

[willow sentinel]

No, thats why I put meta in ""

Plasma orb was giga strong

[carmine smelt]

Oh I don't remember LLL being meta

[willow sentinel]

But I saw some good ball lightning back in the day iirc

[simple bison]

Is LLL the AOE dot one?

[willow sentinel]

Its not Dot

[carmine smelt]

It shoots a ball that does a bunch of hits

Wait am I mixing it up

[simple bison]

Oh right

[carmine smelt]

Yeah that one can crank through a dummy in like 20s with 77 gear

Not bad

Targeting is bad without a lot of AoE though

[willow sentinel]

https://www.icy-veins.com/last-epoch/list-of-runic-invocations

They have videos of all the RI

[carmine smelt]

Oh pog

[elfin pulsar]

🙄

[willow sentinel]

??

I like the idea, it's a Spell DoT
And I am a ducker for those

[rancid pulsar]

is today stream day, I have lost track of... well everything really

[willow sentinel]

It is my friend

[inner finch]

[willow sentinel]

Stay a while and listen

[elfin pulsar]

I tend to forgor that some people don't mind it that they're only with embed perms

[rancid pulsar]

the void has claimed that gif monkas

[elfin pulsar]

thought I'm Deon Liwan

[south moat]

People abused it
what can you do

[elfin pulsar]

I've heard the same excuse a year ago

[south moat]

It's not an excuse. I witnessed it myself

[elfin pulsar]

okay, when

[south moat]

Yeah sure I remember the exact dates

[night marten]

Exactly 482 days 18 hours 3 minutes and 28 seconds

[simple bison]

It was abused pretty much every time it was enabled during any major event

[inner finch]

We used to have more permissions here

but the community was much smaller and there was a bit more chat control

[simple bison]

Yep. It's a lot harder to keep control nowadays when it pops off in here

[primal abyss]

It's friday and almost dev stream o clock~

[elfin pulsar]

and there's like still no le-media?

[primal abyss]

In what manner do you mean media?

[elfin pulsar]

same channel as this but with perms

normally there's such so they can be monitored way more ezpz

[elfin pulsar]

major event? like what? forgue guard build that doesn't suck? /s

[inner finch]

i hope Mike really spills the beans today, i hope there's plenty of beans to spill

[elfin pulsar]

here's saying you might use one day

"I'd spill all the beans I have but all of them are natto"

[lean berry]

Much larger and far more active Discord servers have significantly less automated content restrictions than this server, to be fair. I know moderation is a volunteer job (even though that's true of every other server too) so I can't really complain, it just means this Discord is a particularly bland and dull place for social expression through rich media content.

The "haves" exercising their perms to embed content or use private emotes is mildly annoying though as a "have not."

[rancid pulsar]

the server just changed into something else when the countdown for 1.0 started, that's not inherently a good or a bad thing

[primal abyss]

Things like that can always change

Don't worry, we're working on things

[inner finch]

I dont mind staff posting images and gifs at all tbh

i dont see it as poking at our inability to post media

[lean berry]

It highlights the fact that we can't engage on the same level.

[inner finch]

Its for the greater good

Imagine if all the Path of Exiles that come here to crap on the game and EHG could post photos and gifs

[primal abyss]

If you know the movie.. "For the greater good."

[lean berry]

I'm looking at the PoE Discord right now and the embeds and emotes seem to be in check (and they are in fact allowed). They enable those restrictions when things get out of hand, it's not the default state of being.

[primal abyss]

So is it that having that here in general is a thing or the fact that it makes you feel a certain kind of way when it happens?

Personally, I try to refrain from sharing media in a channel others cannot (if it isn't a news area, etc)

[inner finch]

Stuff is in check there, but you know how explosive this place gets with one single global ping

[lean berry]

Both. the latter is just an agitation of the former.

I think people inherently want to be social and that means more than just sharing words.

[rancid pulsar]

if we're doing the subjective feedback thing here's my two cents, moderation could and should be way way way more heavy-handed against bad actors, just telling people to "cool down" and disengage doesn't solve anything

sometimes I'll click through messages and be shocked by the extent of insults that are effectively just allowed to be said and remain there

but hey, I'm not a moderator and if I was I might think differently so /shrug

[lean berry]

That said I'm not trying to start a movement or anything, It's just how I feel and I totally understand things are in place to ease the burden on the moderation team who generously donate their free time to keep things running around here.

[elfin pulsar]

long story short: personally I am annoyed that I need to employ acrobatics just to post (un)funny screenshot

[primal abyss]

I enjoy feedback like this. I really appreciate it, everyone. Please always feel comfortable doing so. At the very least, if you're not drop it via Modmail and will see it.

[rancid pulsar]

(to be fair, if I want a serious convo about the game I move it to one of the class channels anyway, so the image thing really doesn't bother me 🤣 )

[elfin pulsar]

btw there's an option we use where I mod: we give black bands (embed block) to people who're too improper

[lean berry]

The ways in which we're able to socially express ourselves online has evolved quite a bit since the plain text chat days and it can feel suffocating when you've become accustomed to those things in other, less restrictive servers and feel you can't adequately express yourself here.

[primal abyss]

There will never be a "one solution solves all" but we'll continue to work and improve things. If you have any more feedback, please also drop it in #feedback as well

[elfin pulsar]

EVEN PEOPLE AT END OF THE TIME HAVE MORE IMAGERY THAN WE DO HERE /s

[silent pivot]

eagerly awaiting 10 bajillion teasers

damn, something bad happening outside apparently; I hear at least 3 different types of siren 💀

[elfin pulsar]

dude what

are you on a beach or something

[silent pivot]

police / fire truck / ambulance / angry honking

I live near a decently active road

[lean berry]

Is that not a normal thing where you live? Seems like a convergence of sirens is almost a daily occurrence near my apartment here in Maryland lol

[silent pivot]

not really, maybe once every 2 weeks

[rancid pulsar]

Odysseus be like

huh, something just happened

[grizzled badge]

server went down

[molten path]

server lag?

[silent pivot]

discord server just imploded, sus

[rancid pulsar]

never seen that ever lmao

[inner finch]

mustve missed that

[turbid silo]

Teaser 1 from stream!

Shadow Rend node

[zinc blaze]

is there a way to see meter range in game?

[inner finch]

Falconer buffs lock in

is it messed up i wanna play LE again before this season ends

[turbid silo]

Second teaser! A new cosmetic item!

[night marten]

is pet?

[late plank]

Is there a hotkey to reroll prophecies?

[austere yew]

if only 🙁

[zinc blaze]

yay cosmic devouring orb!

[inner finch]

wait what is that font

[zinc blaze]

what

[austere yew]

that was my thought as well, sadly its a character effect

[inner finch]

is LE finally getting a more readable font

[primal abyss]

Third Teaser for the stream:

[rancid pulsar]

I tap three colorless mana to play dancing strikes

[zinc blaze]

three pure colorless gaming

[inner finch]

cool wings

[primal abyss]

Teaser #4! 😮

[muted cape]

How much? Haha thats gonna be my first buy

Lol Mike crashed rip

Ohh whoops Aaron crashed lol

[strange umbra]

rofl

[primal abyss]

Stream Teaser #5

[rancid pulsar]

stream teaser 5.5: swarm strike is cool and you should play it

[night marten]

lol

[versed nest]

thank god its weekend so mike can spend whole weekend deep diving into what is swarm strike

[simple bison]

I mostly figured it out

[glacial crown]

Connect a ps5 controller, it has a button mapped 😂

[simple bison]

Tags make sense now

But the flags don't

They're straight up redundant

I might be able to find other old skills with redundant flags but newer ones don't have them

[versed nest]

maelstrom also had cant crit tag

[simple bison]

Yep black hole too

[versed nest]

newer dot skills just have 0% crit rate

[simple bison]

So I guess they just did it by default back then

[versed nest]

yeah, but the dodge

now that you pointed out players dont see that

[simple bison]

Black hole doesn't have the cannot be dodged either lul

[versed nest]

oh

[simple bison]

So that one it's a little unique in lmao

Maybe they wanted to be extra sure since it comes from a hit skill

Or something

[versed nest]

tbf if there was enemy that dodges black hole, so moves faster than light, I'm not sure I would even want to fight them

[silent pivot]

if you can dodge a ball you can dodge a black hole (probably; I wouldn't recommend testing this theory)

[simple bison]

Btw the "aggressively pulls" part is hyperbole at its finest

Black hole is like a light breeze

[versed nest]

yeah

[silent pivot]

written from the perspective of dust particles

[simple bison]

A lot of enemies can just walk out of it

[viral marsh]

Speaking of dodge, can enemies dodge attacks?

[simple bison]

Even with max pull strength

[simple bison]

Yes?

What lol

[elfin pulsar]

sounds like gacha player

[simple bison]

There's an echo modifier that gives them dodge chance and everything

[viral marsh]

Just haven't noticed

[simple bison]

That's crazy lol

[rancid pulsar]

oh you will

[simple bison]

Yeah if you play a ramping build the dodge mod can cripple you

[rancid pulsar]

if you try to play anything that relies on hit/crit to sustain anything you will NOTICE that dodge mod

and dread it

[viral marsh]

Reading echo modifiers? Pfffft

[simple bison]

Back in my day

[versed nest]

using berserk from warcry that dodge thing is so annoying

[rancid pulsar]

for example swarmbug, you can't hit enemies = no rage = drop to human form = panic mash buttons and maybe die

[simple bison]

Pepperidge farm remembers when the void enemies deal more damage mod would give them like 1000% more damage and make their fists into hydrogen bombs

It also remembers that stuff like the enrage modifiers scaled too

We had archnem before archnem

And instead of being on one mob it was on the whole map

[versed nest]

Should stun/frozen etc. set dodge to 0% for enemies and players? because I don't know the logics of dodging while you are block of ice

[simple bison]

I mean logically yes

But like

We're also dodging attacks that cover a 50 meter radius around us

[versed nest]

touche

season 5 "all aoe skills now have can't be dodged tag, stun and freeze set dodge to 0%"

btw did I mention that rogue is my least favourite class

[simple bison]

"we decided to just remove dodge from the game"

Silver shroud now just gives 10 ward when you get hit

[versed nest]

it has to be proper sidestepping now 👏

[simple bison]

That's how I used to have to play

Nowadays I'm a dodge abuser too

[versed nest]

the biggest reason I cannot get into rogue is the dodge, I like comfy tankiness of knowing what hits I can take and which I cannot
not randomly losing half my health because dodge didnt proc

[simple bison]

The good old days where I was legit sidestepping everything Including basic attacks because this is the damage a basic white mob did with their basic attack

[viral marsh]

best class

[versed nest]

oh god thats funny

*boop

[viral marsh]

Hahaha BONK

[simple bison]

Now imagine a blue or yellow mob

Yeah...

[zinc crest]

hang on, how long has "short range" been a scaling tag

[versed nest]

nowadays I would except hit like that to come with big sound effect and screen shake

[zinc blaze]

just pretend its like uncanny dodge from dungeons and dragons

ya got hit -> oops nvm

[simple bison]

It's a sub category of movement skills

There's short range, normal movement, and traversal

[versed nest]

but the logic is missing there too in certain situations 😅 but I do like the dnd callback

[zinc blaze]

I mean fair enough, uncanny dodge is really just a glancing blow

but we already got glancing blows as a mechanic

[versed nest]

at times I've seen people also rule it as something weird like "you shifted your heart millimeter to left and the blade didnt do the lethal dmg"

[zinc blaze]

the ol small brain can move inside the skull and dodge attacks strat

[simple bison]

If your brain is smooth enough things won't catch on the wrinkles and so bullets and blades will just slide past it

[late plank]

lol which

[elfin pulsar]

depends which

[elfin tundra]

How can I get a cute fit gf with nice feet?

[main frigate]

gf?

[sharp onyx]

Guys I need help! Every time I disconnect put off all of my skins in my characters why??

[south moat]

#💬┃general message
This message should have the solution for it.

[south moat]

This is the wrong place for that kind of stuff.

[acoustic wind]

Hi, I've got the 3 weaver item imprints unlocked (and imprinted), completed the last 3 regular mono's and the first empowered one, but not a single stack of imprinted items has dropped yet. Am I missing something?

[glacial crown]

Idk like the triangle or something. I was refreshing prophecies with it

[south moat]

What do you have imprinted in there?

[acoustic wind]

An exalted dragon bone axe in the 2 slots on the right and a champions regalia in echoing riches

[south moat]

Well I guess you should just run more
it might also not drop the exact same item with same rolls
But they do work

I think they also have a kind of if the item is more rare it's less likely to drop it
Like it used to basically shit out red rings but ofc that's not exactly intended

[acoustic wind]

ok, ty

[south moat]

Also a lot of the people who actively farm for the imprints run that one woven echo Unclaimed Trove

[willow sentinel]

@simple heart Following your net message

Even if you take the no backflip node ?

[simple heart]

Yes i test it with forward and back jump. If you stuck on a wall you get the full throwing speed. If you move you are limited by move speed and throw a lot less per second.

[willow sentinel]

What about with no jump ?

[simple heart]

With trap node you get full throwing speed.

[willow sentinel]

I didnt say trap node

[simple heart]

Don't remember testing this but I think only the movement limit throwing speed.

[willow sentinel]

I feel like thats fair tbh
Its first design is to be a utility skill that reposition you and slow enemies
If you are willing to remove part of the utility (the jump) you can turn it into a full dps skill

Imo the bug is when you get stuck into a wall and you get full dps despite not removing the jump

[simple heart]

It is a bug if it works at low throwing attack speed then doesn't work. It should have the same treatment as dancing blade if there is a limitation due to balance it should be stated in tooltip.

[willow sentinel]

I dont understand what you call bug

The fact that you are animation locked while jumping ?

[simple heart]

Well the skill doesn't scale with attack speed properly is a bug.

It's not animation speed but movespeed that prevent scaling.

Just like dancing strike

[willow sentinel]

It does, the part that actually scale with AS do, but you have another limiter

Its like channeling skills

Like disintagrate

[simple heart]

Not a channeling skill.

[willow sentinel]

Cast speed scale the starting animation

Throw speed scale the part where you throw the net, but you still need to move

And once you moved you can throw again

[silent pivot]

allowing a skill with a movement animation like that to be scaled by attack speed effectively turns that skill into a no-cooldown traversal skill.. which some games allow, others don't; it feels more like a design choice than a bug to me, unless I'm missing something here

people weapon swap and use ultra high attack speed "forced animations" skills in PoE 2 to do exactly that: move around very quickly, because the game otherwise doesn't have unrestricted movement skills

[simple heart]

It should have the same treatment as dancing strike. Enable a scaling to a point it is limited but it should be stated exactly as DS

[silent pivot]

that's fair, it should be explicit about the limitations

[acoustic wind]

yeah, I have that one imprinted as well, thanks 🙂

[elfin pulsar]

I forgor how to forge 💀

[south moat]

Press F

[elfin pulsar]

🫡

[merry spire]

I had a look over the discord to see if this was asked before and I couldn't find anything, so I have a question; why is poison so much weaker as an ailment compared to the other ailments?

[night marten]

If you factor in the res shred its actually middle of the pack dmg wise.

But also something has to be lowest...unless you make everything equal which then why have different ailments anyways

[merry spire]

i understand that and from what i ve seen different ailments have different values, but poison is significantly lower numbers wise than the rest of them

[elfin pulsar]

but I actually forgor how to forge

I'm looking at my two leg axes and don't remember if I can just up their bleed chance or nah

[night marten]

Because it gets baked in res shred. With that its middle of the pack dmg wise

[late plank]

Found it last night, yup

[strange umbra]

Hello Travelers 🙂

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

[inner finch]

Well, its one hell of a weekend ill tell you that 🦁

Hey muffin, I'm good thanks
Hope you're doing well

[elfin pulsar]

new chapter is 🫶, game felt like ehhhh lore-wise without

no regrets about time spent

[strange umbra]

CAAAAAAAAAAARL

[strange umbra]

[carmine smelt]

That kiiiiillls people carll

[simple bison]

That's a throwback lol

[zinc blaze]

what are you the banana king or something

[fathom umbra]

Stick a ripe banana right into your favorite ear

[zinc blaze]

):

thats not the reference

[fathom umbra]

Banana king? Charlie?

I beg to differ, it's what entered my head

[zinc blaze]

thats the answer I was looking for

chaarrrrrrrllliieeeee

[fathom umbra]

They stole my freaking kidneys

[zinc blaze]

[carmine smelt]

charlie bit me?

[broken siren]

hey guys 🙂

[cobalt fable]

This season will be the best?

[night marten]

Top 5 minimum

[carmine smelt]

One of the seasons of all time, I'd say

[night marten]

For sure

[brazen bane]

Is this a emote for the game

[blazing adder]

hey when/how often does LE usually drop on sale ?

[dapper wedge]

hello friendly gamers, does anyone know why my appearance choices arent saving? when i leave game i lost my appearance and back to looking default.

[tight pecan]

poe1 is freeish and better

[blazing adder]

yeah i Did pay the 20$ for some stashtabs n all but i got bored of it / waiting for the new league

[tight pecan]

to answer, I haven't seen it on sale

[tight pecan]

march 6th baybeeee

[blazing adder]

played a bit of last epoch on my friend's account , HOLY

i am in love

[tight pecan]

they have a new league on here at the end of the month

ehhh

the skills don't have that oomf to them

[blazing adder]

its a chill arpg

[tight pecan]

I suppose

[blazing adder]

its a less dark grimdawn

i love grim dawn but it gets old after ~600hrs yk ?

[tight pecan]

1k hours in poe = newbie lol

but yeah I get it

I tried to hop back on d2, just couldn't do it. This game is okay it's just like I said, the oomf is missing on the skills. I don't feel good about using them, and idk. the crafting here is better though

[blazing adder]

i got only 1.5k in poe , 500of those hours are in ruthless and i am a full time ruthless player now , i just get to make my own builds with some unholy levels of jank

[buoyant nacelle]

Hi, I played at the beginning of the season and got through monoliths. I just leveled a fresh character - do I need to redo all the normal monoliths? I thought you could skip them on a second character in the same season. If not do you just do the last three at the top? It's been a while

[dapper wedge]

i believe just do the 3 lvl 90 to unlock empowered

[south moat]

One of the pinned messages in this channel has the solution for it
#💬┃general message

[dapper wedge]

Ahh, I actually ended up looking it up on the forums and found the solution.

[wintry dome]

I really hope the coming season, the golems are playable

[willow sentinel]

Bone golems?

[glacial crown]

damn, i messed up my sleep schedule with LE. I was up until 3:30 AM. "Just one more echo" xddddd anyone like me? 😄

[willow sentinel]

Yes 😄

[severe socket]

Used to be guilty of this too back in the day.

Now it's just hiatus until s4.

[rancid pulsar]

last time I booted up was august, I'm going to be so rusty it'll be great

[severe socket]

Nah, muscle memory never goes.

It's already burned into you.

[solemn vine]

what time of day on the 26th is new season coming out? Us EST

[south moat]

They haven't announced that

[solemn vine]

roger that, just trying to plan my weekend and what days i need to take off

[south moat]

But it's probably the same time as the previous ones

[willow sentinel]

Usually 6pm French time

[solemn vine]

last time was: August 21, 2025, at 16:00 UTC (12 PM EDT / 9 AM PDT)

[willow sentinel]

Its always at the same time

[solemn vine]

cool, 1600 UTC is good for me

[arctic bison]

Do remember that you won't get to play on day 1 because of queue lol

It's good practice to take the second day off

[willow sentinel]

Or you can play offline

[solemn vine]

very true. I'm taking the Friday off and taking a half day Thursday

[main frigate]

just play offline mode if you don't want to queue

[solemn vine]

I like to try to be top 100 in hardcore to level 100. so offline doesn't work for me sadly.

[tall lagoon]

Can you remind me how cosmetics work in offline? I usually play online but changed my desk setup and get big ping spikes now

[solemn vine]

didn't think they did

[tall lagoon]

I can never remember if it's all offline or just true offline

[short vessel]

huh

TIL

runes of discovery can give any affix regardless of character/area level

which means you can get area level locked affixes at early levels

[willow sentinel]

Once you went to online once, they should be available in both offline and true offline

[south moat]

Yeah, they do work in offline these days

[cobalt fable]

i will give a try, i hate krafton

[obtuse bay]

name checks out

[stone fern]

Anybody on that can help me with some exalted items that i can slam for my alt to level?

[simple bison]

Yep similar to RoA

[sturdy acorn]

not true
muscle memory will fade.
it won't fully disappear, but it will drastically fade.

[simple bison]

Yeah for sure. It's like riding a bike, if you haven't used one for years you'll probably suck for at least a day coming back to it

[lime epoch]

hello here
HYPE week starting 1 week before release of season, is that it ?

[last crane]

Should be

[lament basalt]

All changes each season come to legacy realm chars too right?

[south moat]

Correct

[latent jacinth]

When is the new class releasing? Did we get any news on that with the next season?

[willow sentinel]

Paradox class will come with the expension

Still at least a year out

[latent jacinth]

Oooh! OK! ❤️ Do we have any additional info about them beyond that initial announcement?

[willow sentinel]

Nope

[latent jacinth]

OK! Well, still excited for them. 😄

And excited for this next season, too ❤️

[willow sentinel]

Me too 😁

[latent jacinth]

What build are you thinking you might start with?

[willow sentinel]

Shatter Totem Werebear with the new relic

Or Spellblade Fire Aura

[south moat]

Can't go wrong with spellblade fire aura

[short vessel]

the same thing we do every season pinky

scorp nova BM

[south moat]

I honestly have no idea what I'll play
Even if I say now that "i'll play this thing" I'll probably change my idea 5minutes before the launch

[wispy notch]

No plans survive the "create character" button.

[south moat]

True
Normally I'd say it will not be a rogue but 2 new skills tempt me

[wispy notch]

I was very confident that I'd be jumping back to last seasons build, with the assumption that bugfixes would be in so it would actually work.
Then I saw the Orbiting Volcanic / Frozen orb rings, and now my mind keeps trying to convince me to do a tri-element orbital sorc.

[south moat]

That sounds like a good time too

[sturdy acorn]

@strange umbra will S4 make Necros Wandering Spirits remotely usable?
cuz it's in a way a nice flavour skill, but it is as horrendous of a channeled ability as it can be.
randomized and unpredictable damage zones.
excessively underwhelming damage at that too.
items that support it are unusable as well.
the fact that this is a self stun ability......

[wet loom]

Gonna start as Xylem Judgement Aura Paladin, assuming no nerfs.

[willow sentinel]

😄

[strange umbra]

generally please do not ping devs - esp on the weekend 😉
You can drop a note in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[sturdy acorn]

my bad

[strange umbra]

all G ❤️

[sturdy acorn]

apologies

[willow sentinel]

You will be punished

https://tenor.com/view/punishment-angry-hit-gif-16703076

[strange umbra]

also we cant share more info that isn't already public anyway haha sorry - (and I also dont directly on the game code itself anyway for the most part so I am not good to even answer)

[pastel cape]

if i recall there as a teaser about death knights using the wandering spirits upgrade tree, so it will be more useful in next season

[sturdy acorn]

welllll... them using it doesn't really mean it's getting better xD
xD

but I hope it will get buffs/reworks.
cuz it is a cool ability

just

attrocious to play in every way

[willow sentinel]

Wdym by self stun ?

[inner finch]

Time to manifest time travel at this point... damn

[willow sentinel]

There is nothing inside Hungering Souls tree that make it self stun you

@sturdy acorn

Or did I miss smth ?

[wispy notch]

I think he's refering to the channeled version, and consider channeling as a form of soft / pseudo self stun?

[sturdy acorn]

Wandering spirits. it's a channel

[sturdy acorn]

yeah

[willow sentinel]

Ah sorry wrong skill

Got confused by the teaser thing

[sturdy acorn]

Hungering Souls is a different skill 😄

[willow sentinel]

Because knight will use Hungering Souls

Not Wandering spirits

So what I understand is you dont like channeled skill

Its like saying Disintigrate self stun you

[wispy notch]

I was using Wandering Spirits (normal variant) as a filler on a poison lich. It was okay as a fire and forget skill, but nothing extraordinary.
I could see why taking the Song of Lost Chantry node to make it channelled would feel lacklustre, the skill doesn't feel like it'd be able to be a "main skill" without a much faster and concentrated ramp up.

[willow sentinel]

Also its not a channeled skill at the beginning

Its just another of those Non ailment dot skill that EHG never use a calculator on and deals atrocious dmg

[muted cape]

The curse of spell dot skills

[glacial crow]

I just spent an hour organizing my stash tabs and didn’t have to pay a dime for micro transactions. PoE could never

[muted cape]

😎

[sturdy acorn]

hmno

The ability deals horrendous damage

the horrendous damage is inconsistent on top of that

random area

random time

and that is really it

basically that node reads between the lines: stun yourself to deal exactly as little and inconsistent damage as before

i am perfectly fine with channels

if they do something

xD

[inner finch]

Unfortunately, untuned and underperforming or otherwise undertuned channelling skills seem like an ARPG-genre wide plague at this point

Both players and game devs simply dont want us to stand still and cast skills for any period of time longer than 0.25 seconds

A part of it might be the fact that the best way to progress in any of them is to fly through the dungeon

[viral halo]

Want to buy Time Warp to march 25th. /Pm me

[glacial crow]

Just goto bed and set alarm for march 25th

[rancid pulsar]

For channelling skills to be good they just need to be a bit too good, basically.

if I'm channelling the same skill forever and not doing anything else, that is sacrificing different things my character could be doing, usually and mainly moving to not get killed LOL

so if a channeled skill is similarly strong to a non channeled skill, why would I ever choose the former?

[inner finch]

Well, the problem has been solved in all sots of interesting ways by games. Some of those include:

• Apply buffs when channeling but have a cooldown for them so you can move between channels
• Let the channeling abilities apply quicker cooldown on movement / teleportation
• Have channeled attacks proc other none-channeling attacks (such as meteors or what have you)
• Have the channel attacks auto-target mobs with increased distance
• Have the channel attacks post-cast while moving so you can apply movement along with the attacks
• Have minions channel the attack for you, building on your attack damage bonuses and modifiers and just using them as a vehicle to deliver it

[late plank]

Other question: Is there a good endgame rushing guide somewhere? Not just aby rushing, more like tree, echoes strats, map optimisation, imprint strats etc?

[leaden crater]

does anyone know the stash search term to check things that i can currently equip? i've tried "equippable" "can equip" and neither are working. the "lvl" search only highlights those that require exact level, and nothing under it so thats not working either

[heady night]

We'll make sure to slip an airtag into Derrick's coffee next time

so we can track him 24/7

[primal abyss]

I'll make him immune to tracking

[modest burrow]

theres no patch notes of the new items/skills yet right?

[primal abyss]

Correct. Patch notes for Season 4 have not been released.

[modest burrow]

do we know when they get released?

[primal abyss]

We don't have an exact date to share but our aim is to release it at the same cadence as last time

If that helps

We'll also share that and more info when it drops in #news if you want to set alerts for that thread

[upbeat wasp]

But when mobile

[sturdy acorn]

but what if we don't want to do that 😄

[primal abyss]

Then...just keep checking back 😆

Pretty sure there are no plans or info about a mobile ver right now. We're focused on Season 4, 5 and the expansion with console. 🙂

[muted cape]

off its already march now

[primal abyss]

Dang

Guess we got to start all over

[obtuse bay]

s4 delayed KEKW

[simple bison]

no?

[primal abyss]

This was all a joke for anyone reading this lol..

[sturdy acorn]

prove it, release the new season now to prove it won't be delayed

i dare ya

[obtuse bay]

release it now

[primal abyss]

😆

Yeah, can't do that either.

[sturdy acorn]

there you have it folks

season 4 officially delayed

by one whole full minute

[primal abyss]

A full minute... oh noes.

I appreciate your patience

[sturdy acorn]

a full minute can make the difference between march 26th and march 27th

just saying

xD

which now opens up a philosophical question.
if release is on march 27th, 0:00AM
instead of march 26th: 11:59PM (or 23:59)
would the statement of a days delay be correct/accurate?

[burnt eagle]

Nah, in that hypothetical example it's still just a one minute delay. You could phrase it as "delayed until the next day [in this specific timezone]" and be technically accurate but anyone reasonable would probably just respond with something like "...which is one minute away stop being dramatic"

[sturdy acorn]

yes and no, the blanko statement "delayed from 26th to 27th" remains just as true

[burnt eagle]

The release is set for 11:00 Central Time on 3/26 so you'd need a 60m delay for it to roll over to a different date in some timezones, anyways 😛

Yeah in that example "delayed from the 26th to the 27th" would fit the scenario, but also "it's a one minute delay stop being dramatic"

[sturdy acorn]

now i pose upon you, the ultimate delay:
sunday december 31st 1999, 23:59
to
monday january 1st 2000, 00:00
you have delay of:

• minute (factual)
• hour (arguable)
• day (arguable)
• week (arguable)
• month (arguable)
• year (arguable)
• decade (arguable)
• millenia (arguable)
  :x

[inner finch]

[burnt eagle]

I mean once again just the first option unless you're trying to be dramatic or misrepresent stuff for some reason, but also who the heck would ever plan on releasing something on a Sunday night going into a Monday, especially when it's New Year's Eve -> New Year's Day haha

That's some "double check that your release manager isn't drunk" style scheduling 😛

[echo steppe]

Release it, I bet you won't.

Bet you won't do it right now :o

[dull topaz]

Now would be sweet - those 2am wakeups kill me lol

[tender marsh]

release what now? reset is like a full 20+ days away

[south moat]

They're talking about if it was released today instead

[main frigate]

It'll very very very very cool because it mean I don't exist in this world yet

I think what he just said and the specific way he said it was quite different to what you're talking about nub and what my friend was talking about before we lost him. I think you misunderstood him.

16 more days till hype week start
23 more days till season drops

[carmine smelt]

9 more days till pre hype week week

[south moat]

Kirra has said it multiple times and in more clearly what she means

[dull topaz]

smh

[severe socket]

👋

[whole dust]

are people actually hyped?

[inner finch]

I mean, why not?

[willow sentinel]

I am

But I am a mod so I am a sellout, white knight, Krafton lover, ai shill

[frank mesa]

pre-hyped

[night marten]

Generally yes, player base seems excited. Tho as ever there are those who will always hate on LE and its never good enough

[tough fjord]

I would like to be hyped, but I'm not 🙁 Information about the new cycle is scarce imho, I hoped for a hype month instead of only a hype week. When the official trailer dropped, I thought this was the beginning of more frequent teasers / substantial information.

[hard seal]

Im not pkaying this szn but im always excited to see how last epoch grows

[brittle hollow]

There are teasers every Friday

[simple bison]

It's not really realistic to do a hype month honestly. If they teased more than they already are through the streams every week they'd have to basically tease nothingburgers

We've already seen several new systems like the omens, corrupted items and the new idol inventories

As well as new items, skills/skill nodes and QoL changes

Maybe it's more so how the information is presented/made available rather than how much of it there is?

Since most of it is shown during the weekly dev stream. So if you miss those I can see how it can be pretty easy to miss a lot of the information

[inner finch]

EHG is saving the big reveals for the last few days

I know it, i can't prove it

After 7 months of development, there's surely whole new systems to explore

[primal abyss]

Hello all, Hope you're well! Happy Tuesday

Oh yeah. To add on to what Cyborg was saying, I think this time around, we've been sharing more information more frequently. Which is something we'd like to do based off much feedback. This is one of those things that we are doing and folks might be able to get used to it or not but waiting months for information didn't sit well for many so we're trying to be more transparent with what we have cooking up now that we're closer to Season 4.

[rancid pulsar]

can confirm they are all of these, I was there for the knighting

[south moat]

The rest is just fire aura buffs

Also, hey Van

[main frigate]

Hope Kain slept well today

[tough fjord]

Yes, I'm missing them almost always, but sometimes catch up in the forums or some YT video. But what I meant with "scarce" is: Yes, there are teasers, even many teasers. But they are just that. No complete overview over a topic like in a blog post on the EHG News that covers for example: "Corruptions - what are those? where do I get the runes? how do i corrupt? what are all the possible outcomes? what are the chances? Are there related echos?"

[simple bison]

Yeah those kinds of things are only revealed a week or so beforehand because there's only so many

If they explained everything in detail a month out by the time the patch comes out the hype would have died down

[tough fjord]

Sure, I've seen the recaps in the forums and it is much appreciated. But they still remain little teasers, not reveals: This week we talk in-depth about topic A. Next week about topic B.

I know, it's all just personal opinion. But for me, for theory crafting and really getting hyped, one week is too short.

[south moat]

I don't think it would be a good idea to do full reveal too early
It's good that you let the community figure out something without explaining every possible interaction etc

[primal abyss]

Oh no, good points. If you don't mind could you share this sentiment via #feedback or #suggestions ?

[simple bison]

I can see merits to both approaches tbh

[primal abyss]

It's one of those things to Mike's point last week. You're going to always have conflicting sentiment on how things are done or shared, there are different kinds of gamers and audience for our game so I get it and like to hear and see such feedback

[simple bison]

I personally think the hype week is the way to go, since not everyone only thinks about LE, so if you spread it over too long a time people might kinda ignore everything until a week or so out anyway and then catch up which wouldn't be as good as doing a full proper reveal a week out for those people

[turbid silo]

Nothing a high dose of "it is what it is" and enough rest can't fix

And maybe some gaming

Rest is always the best

haha

Gaming is good if you are able to enjoy it not feeling the greatest

[south moat]

Maybe something casual like Stardew Valley

Certainly not dance dance revolution

[main frigate]

I wonder how can we book Judd's GDC talk if Mike even can't book that and it last for years

[south moat]

He didn't mean that Judd would talk for 10 years there or that he would make the reservation for it

essentially "it would be cool if we had Judd talk about things at game dev conference in 2036"

not "he will be talking there every year from now on until 2036"

and who knows, the company might not even be anymore in 10 years

[primal abyss]

Hello! Doing alright. 🙂 Hope you are as well

[willow sentinel]

We need AI game dev studio to make games played by AI

😏😏😏

[elfin wharf]

i am! thank you Vandryll! i am playing another acolyte

[primal abyss]

Oh yeah? What mastery this time?

[elfin wharf]

warlock, and thinking about changing to lich later or see if i can make warlock chaos bolt build

but i am not good at math

so i will resort to other people's guides eventually lol

[primal abyss]

That makes two of us haha

Fair

[elfin wharf]

it amazes me people coming up with their own builds

i can barely cross a street by myself or breathe

[main frigate]

? 🤔 emmm... 8 years so far

2 years more to see

[south moat]

Mike didn't mean that when the company has been up for 10 years
but 10 years from now

[main frigate]

Back to the topic, not sure what I can do to book his GDC talk so I asked that here

Maybe his CM have an idea

[south moat]

Well, you can't do that

[brazen wing]

what's gdc?

[south moat]

game developers conference

[brazen wing]

ty

[main frigate]

sad, helpless again

[south moat]

It's the company that needs to do it, usually someone higher up
and GDC could still say "no"

Think they also do invite some people to talk there

[willow sentinel]

Also, it was little a joke or small talk from Mike

Like "it would be cool if pigs had wings"

[south moat]

Yeah, that too

[main frigate]

..........

:(
Alright. My skill for identifying if it's a joke still have giant room to improve

I thought Judd have this level of ability to be invited so I believed that

[south moat]

It can be hard to know if something is a joke over text unless you know the person or it's extremely obvious

[simple bison]

Imo it's all about experience and wanting to learn/understand more about the game. When I first started playing LE I made my own build and it was absolutely atrocious. I didn't understand how the stats or skills really worked. But slowly over time I watched and talked to other people who knew more than myself and improved my own build until it became pretty decent. Now that I've played the game lots and also read up on and seen tons of other builds I'm fairly confident in being able to gauge how good a build is and also in putting on together. It just takes time and the want

[carmine smelt]

Yea its just experience.

I make decent end game builds now but I started by following guides. Then I learned how the builds I followed worked. Then I found improvements to existing builds, made them better. Then I made new builds that were slightly different than existing builds I've played. Then I made new builds from scratch using the knowledge from all those other steps.

Even with experience not every idea will translate into a viable build. You start with an idea and try to find pieces that fit, sometimes there just arent enough pieces. Shelf the idea and revisit later when new items are added or things are changed.

[turbid silo]

Eterra Monthly February Edition is now live 🙂

[lost elk]

The Top Skills for Sorc and Spellblade are flip-flopped

The skill icon for Eterra's Blessing and Werebear form for Druid top skills are also flip-flopped

[turbid silo]

Getting updated infographics with corrections, good catch! THank you!

[lost elk]

Rive no where to be seen on Sentinel top 5 is surprising. Good for you Vengeance.

[inner finch]

Tops skill lists

[turbid silo]

We're fixing a couple mixups

[inner finch]

.... Basically look like complete builds

[south moat]

Oh neat
Gaspar's set buffs

[willow sentinel]

Don't know if you got those

[turbid silo]

Thank you Vlad!

[willow sentinel]

New support site look sick!

Did you update!support?

[turbid silo]

Thanks!

I did the customization with the help of folks at EHG.

I had artists assist with the prettification of it 😄

[main frigate]

lol 🤔 New cover

[chilly ember]

i think sorc and spellblade are backwards lol

[turbid silo]

Yeah, we're working on updating them 🙂

[main frigate]

I like appear on the cover

[chilly ember]

looks cool though, love to see data like this 🙂

[main frigate]

Past covers looks a bit like AI-generated tbh

[turbid silo]

Definitely were not heh

[main frigate]

hhhhhhhhh even have a gif version?

My lord, more cute

[turbid silo]

Infographics corrected

[main frigate]

done, cover get more polish and give me a surprise, another things are regular

🤔 I don't know why no elaboration about which items (appeared on the cover) are they or why are they here

[primal abyss]

Those are primordial items that are getting the little bit of touch up

[main frigate]

touch up?

touch up for the cover design or touch up for in-game balance?

[primal abyss]

Touch up = buff/adjustments

Yes. The Primordial Unique improvements

[main frigate]

Ohhhhh it matched now, thanks

[primal abyss]

np 😄

[main frigate]

why you select horizontal cover instead of vertical cover, any stories behind?

[turbid silo]

For the infographics? It just made most sense to have them laid out this way to digest information.

[rancid pulsar]

TIL that 14% of sorcerers don't specialize flame ward dang

[main frigate]

do add Gregory into the introduction message and the cover is your idea?

[turbid silo]

That was actually the artist who created the new cover's idea

[zinc blaze]

Greg needs some scholarly glasses

And a lil graduation cap

[primal abyss]

I need more Gregory.

[elfin wharf]

@carmine smelt honestly you're one of my idols so thank you for kind words ❤️

this server just makes me nerd the hell out

[brazen wing]

Dont hold your nerd in

Gives constipation

[primal abyss]

I didn't realize it could do that..

[carmine smelt]

Thank you, hopefully I'm an ornate idol, or at least a large idol

[primal abyss]

A large idol in the hearts of many~

[simple bison]

Huge idol

with % chance to gain 20 ward on melee hit

[primal abyss]

[elfin wharf]

it's not the size that matters, it's the roll on it that matters

[short sphinx]

lowkey itching to play again

maybe a little dabble here and there before the new content wouldnt hurt

[primal abyss]

Just to warm up a little bit, yeah?

[short sphinx]

yes sirr

[primal abyss]

Many hours later

"oh...oh no.."

[heady night]

That was me with practicing rogue and realized flurry is fun as heck early to mid

Hoping it gets some love

[primal abyss]

That's me anytime I go down a rabbit hole for a build idea or discover a new item

[opal sable]

oh boy, them usage rates from the infographics are brutal

cmon guys, spice it up a bit

[muted cape]

nice etteras monthly newsletter, love the skill stats!

[wispy notch]

Part of the skill use is balance related, but there's also skills that are foundational to a mastery or has flexibility in how you use it. I'd personally have a hard time to justify not using Reaper Form on a Lich, while Flay is entirely due to how over tuned it was this season.

[opal sable]

nah that's pure copium, Look at Sorcerer

with that logic, Sorcerer should never happen

[wispy notch]

I did, and the way I read it that supports my point? Flay was/is obscene, especially when it had some bugged interactions. So it and its support skills dominates the use stats for Lich builds.
Sorc doesn't have any skill that is as much of an outlier, but Flame Ward remains an overall good utility skill and most mages (any mastery) will pick it up. (99% RM, 94% Spellblade, 86% Sorc)

[carmine smelt]

When 1.3 Launched there was 1 clear dominant popular Mage build that many Mage players followed. In this case that was a Runemaster. Sorc didnt have any obvious S tier "meta" builds so those left playing Sorc were fewer in number but less likely to be guide followers, more variety among the off meta subclass.

Only 13% of mages playing sorc.

This doesn't really represent diversity of builds, its more about how the stats are aggregated.

[sterile mauve]

Wait did they release patch notes? I'm seeing screenshots of them but don't see the link posted anywhere

[carmine smelt]

Its not patch notes

[night marten]

They have not

Its just stuff in the #eterra-monthly

[sterile mauve]

Ahhh

[night marten]

Which most we saw before

Its just in word form. And not a picture

[sterile mauve]

👍

[frail crown]

the game is down? or only me? getting LE-51 error

[zinc blaze]

its tuesday so steam is doing its weekly maintenance

[frail crown]

so I'm getting fked by cloud save services 😛 ?

[zinc blaze]

nah anything that relies on steam stuff to connect to a server doesnt work during steam's weekly maintenance

if you play in true offline mode it would launch a-ok

[frail crown]

https://tenor.com/view/im-so-excited-giddy-stewie-griffin-family-guy-gif-13787182

ah im in

[zinc blaze]

ye steam's maintenance seems to be done

[broken siren]

Last Epoch makes me happy 🙂

[obtuse bay]

#suggestions message

[simple heart]

It already exist! Why didn't you went to the lizard world yet?

I like the lizard mount you win at the end of the lizaberoth fight, it is fun and travel fast in town.

[obtuse bay]

there is also possibility of having a universe with full of lizards kekew

[simple heart]

We already live in a world controlled by hidden reptilians. You are saying it is the same in LE?

[obtuse bay]

it's canon believe

[willow sentinel]

Good morning travelers

Listen to this, I got smth planned every weekend in March except for 27th-29th

And I don't work Friday afternoons anymore

Beautiful

[simple heart]

I wonder what you could do during all that free time... Maybe it is time to start origami.

[willow sentinel]

Note that I am genuinely asking myself the same question

[zinc blaze]

get really into mosaics

[willow sentinel]

With the change of pace between pastry and accounting

I have too much free time 😂😅

[simple heart]

https://youtu.be/Qzz1eZh0azc?is=BOSXr3DGKj0AXGdi

[willow sentinel]

I need to do smth better than scroll reddit and wait someone to talk on discord 😅

[willow sentinel]

😲😲

[main frigate]

It's life in paradise in my imagination. Have stable income + plenty of free time + you can make the own choices + you have the own home

Maybe you can do one more ski trip? lol Or you can bake some home-made desserts to enjoy the fun.

Do some sport or eat something sweet always good

(pet my fortunate tree)

[main frigate]

Hah... remind of I should go to purchase a new rubber, otherwise I can't do some sketch in coming days

[carmine smelt]

Work from home jobs were pretty game changing when it comes to free time. Crazy how much of the day went to getting ready, commute, pretending to be busy even when no work

[main frigate]

Yes I hate waste time on commute specially

[stark frost]

I really enjoyed progressing through the CoF ranks in 1.0. It took time but it was a rewarding experience. 1.1 made it a lot quicker and in the meantime we figured out better ways to farm favour as well. Now it's 1 week, maybe 2 if you're really casual to reach max CoF ranks. I feel like this is a missed progression opportunity at this point.

In fact, in season 3 I think I did it in 3 days, I can't really recall. Streamers must've done it in 2

[south moat]

Gm

[main frigate]

Ga

[carmine smelt]

day 1 lmao

but yeah when it was slower the more casual players complained a lot so 🤷‍♂️

R12 is kinda really powerful though, feels bad to spend favor before getting that

[stark frost]

R10 was the max in 1.0 and yeah, it did take a good few weeks I played around 4h a day I think. Now that you apparently do it in a day, it also makes the decision of switching between CoF and MG much simpler. Back in 1.0 you'd stick with it.

It's no longer a progression system, pity.

[carmine smelt]

Switching still sucks. Managing stash with both is still pretty messy there isn't really much to transfer aside from the non tagged drops

I did r12 with both in 1.2 and it was a headache imo

[stark frost]

Oh okay. I figured since you can max out in a day, it wouldn't be that much effort. I don't like MG myself as I just like getting excited if a really good item drops.

[main frigate]

I'm not sure why even CA, US is 0:06 now but EHG still don't sleep

[main frigate]

It's amazing because I need 6 days even I played legacy characters

speedrun never in my box

[main frigate]

I took a nap then EHG members even more

[ionic vale]

why th is my fashion keep resetting

every time i quit and relaunch

[brittle hollow]

#💬┃general message known issue, fix is this

I think at least

[south moat]

Yup, that should fix it

[severe socket]

Imagine working from home coinciding with parenting and caregiving.

Free time my behind.

[main frigate]

💀 I don't think I can have free time at all

So I never want a kid

I don't know how to love people yet

[severe socket]

Fair enough.

[primal abyss]

Good day everyone!

[south moat]

Good day Van

[elfin wharf]

helllooooo everyone

[primal abyss]

[south moat]

Can't play & chat at the moment
Eating dinner so I'll be ready to play with friends in 50minutes

[primal abyss]
