Cosmetics being removed everytime I play and exit the game still not fixed yet? Its getting very annoying having to equip them again and again.

Colours were part of the setup for the Kickstarter roles, which makes it harder for us to assign colours for future roles.

Though I apologize that I don't entirely see this as a negative. I personally appreciate showing appreciation for those that supported us for when we were nothing more than a reddit thread with an idea. Currently, I don't have any plans to allow name colours to those other than the established roles.

main frigate
simple bison
#

Would still take away from it imo. Although I have a different colour so I guess I can't comment on it objectively

main frigate
#

No idea which colours should use? Just pick colours which kickstarter roles are using, then down the saturation, ok it's a new colour.

simple bison
#

The point isn't really that it would be the same colour. Currently pretty much nobody has a colour outside of ehg members, moderation, content creators and lastly early supporters. What colour someone has isn't very important, it's the fact that they have a colour at all that's supposed to signify something

main frigate
#

CM have trouble on recognizing colours? They can ask art team for help

#

I don't know why they don't want to build an advanced version of colour hierarchy

#

The problem you mentioned can be solved by using gradient colours

silent pivot
#

I was going to post something entirely different, but after actually reading the Kickstarter page I'm confused. I don't see name colors mentioned anywhere, lol. Is that just considered an extension of the "Forum Title and Badge" or am I blind?

#

Custom Role Icons feel like a more logical extension of that than colors, personally.

coarse swallow
# main frigate I have no idea why it's a hard thing to do. Kickstarter roles and EHG roles can ...

As Cyborg mentioned, it's neither a technical limitation, nor a systematic limitation. We certainly could use more colours. Discord even allows a colour wheel. Rather, allowing assigning a colour represents a level of appreciation and distinct honor towards those who brought us to where we are today.

We use colours in discord as a form of respect for those that support us. So it doesn't feel right to give out coloured names for other reasons, as it diminishes that respect and prestiege given to those willing to put their money, or in the case of content creators, livelihood, on the line to believe in, and support us from the very beginning.

main frigate
#

How to show respect and appreciation to players whose support EHG in a early time? Give them exclsuive colours on roles. Yes I get that, it's why I mentioned gradient colours is a good way to keep them looks special.

#

Normal players never will over than them on the status, I know

silent pivot
#

Simple workaround: get hired at EHG specifically for the cool Discord role color.

coarse swallow
# silent pivot I was going to post something entirely different, but after actually reading the...

You're correct that we don't list giving a colour in discord as a kickstarter bonus. We could very well assign addition colours as we did with the beesfriends to show moderator status and not touch upon any promise.

However, even as we have to change policies to continue creating the next iteration of LE, we still want to preserve what kickstarter support and appreciation that we can. Discord colours may seem like an extremely insignificant part of that, but it's something that we continue to have to hold onto, and provide. And i'll let go of kickstarter appreciation as quickly as I'll let go of my own blood, haha.

half dawn
#

everyone excited to play forge boy again? :3

main frigate
#

EHG think they can't change current colour hierarchy because it will lose the honour and the appreciation for early supporters.
I think EHG still can do that but in a different way.

No idea how to go on.

forge is my go to as a starter

I'm leaning towards Void Knight or Paladin, depending on what certain bug fixes end up happening (or not happening).

then im gonna hound EHG to see if they need graphic designers lmao

In my own personal opinion as an 8k+ hour player, not as an EHG player, this is the season of Unique item reworks, and bees, based on what I want to build.

I don't think we're specifically looking for a UI designer at the moment, but we're always open to talent: https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/eleventhhourgames

I won't say ubberoth was a particularly fast kill with my build, but it happened, and I don't underestimate the community. You all collectively are far, far smarter than I. I'm excited to see what you all come up with regarding bees, and the unique item changes in general.

there is alot more to making money in MG than a good loot filter

carmine smelt
#

Note to self; Buy items BEFORE making build guide ๐Ÿ‘

simple bison
#

Honestly filtering for MG isn't all that bad. A lot of things you'd have on an ssf filter that's not for a specific build or class will sell, some just slower than others and for less but they'll still be worth selling

carmine smelt
#

I mean not really, SSF filter is just your items, MG is like, mana idols, ES idols, WP idols, LB idols, etc.

#

the affix filters are so annoying

simple bison

Well I meant it more how you'd filter back in like 0.9. you'd show any potentially useful item

half dawn

did we ever get more info on that DLC class? Or is that way in the future?

simple bison

Basically just show all T7's and multi exalts of affixes that could conceivably be wanted by some build

Well, MG may as well not even exist, since player-driven markets suffer from the player factor. There's always someone who keeps looking for exploits, finds them, makes them public and then a bunch of the users of the system adopt it and the whole market aspect of the thing collapses.

tbh the scenario I'm imagining using rune of corruption is basically one where, I have a lot of similar copies of an item already

I think there's plenty going for it that allows 1-3 week casual players and also 2-3 month hardcore players. Especially when considering more than one character.

willow sentinel
#

What if you felt good with your 1lp gear corrupted and wanted to make another character

#

And another

#

That's what keeps me playing throughout a season

frank bramble
#

Depends on how many people share your approach

stark frost
#

I wasn't there for season 3 for irl reasons but season 2 I sunk well over 300h in

#

Season 4 seems to add more endgame content to it such as that pinnacle boss and also an extra layer of item improvements, and a cute way to improve your idols and the board.

Like, I see myself play for another 300h np...

willow sentinel
# frank bramble Depends on how many people share your approach
  1. I could return you the argument
    How many people share your approach of going for 4xt7 imprint troves spam for the whole season?
    From my anecdotal evidence of me being in a few discord, I could probably name you as much 1lp enjoyers builds spamming people as 4xt7 troves spamming ones

  2. We are amongst the last players of the season, but with different method

frank bramble
#

Then all i can have is envy that those people still find fun in something like that

#

Because I naturally seek gear progression

#

Single t7s are like a few days of work

#

And me from a few discords as well haven't found a single person that enjoyed farming up to single t7 and rerolling

silent pivot
#

I mean, as per muffin 2 days ago only 6.7% of players have killed normal aberroth (and <1% for uber).. a decent number of people are probably rerolling or quitting the season entirely before they even reach 1x t7 in every slot based on that lol

frank bramble
#

Also those 4x7 farmers don't only farm those items for themselves, we share those with each other so we can show people who allegedly think that single t7 is enough that you can go above and beyond that

willow sentinel
#

You found me ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ

frank bramble
frank bramble
#

Cuz all i see is the same people on global and they are all dedicated people or people who we are about to enlighten with possibilities

pulsar carbon
#

I'm curious to see what experimental builds I can get away with season 4. I gave up trying to push past 150 corruption on so many builds just because the damage fell off hard and fast. I ended up giving in and made a reflect Druid just to do ridiculous crap like fighting Abberoth

frank bramble
#

Of course I'm taking this fact into account that not many people talk on global but still you get the point

frank bramble
#

Unless you go 100 corruption and call it a day

willow sentinel
#

It's kinda insane how it seems to bother you that someone might enjoy the game in a different way

frank bramble
#

Stop implying that I don't like the fact someone likes playing the game in a different way

pulsar carbon
#

@frank bramble It's really not. I love how versatile and creative you can be in LE, but let's not kid ourselves that many builds can even hit 200 corruption. I have to check the leaderboards most of the time to get a good idea of what I have to copy to push further versus homebrew.

frank bramble
#

I want everyone to enjoy LE as much as possible so it grows

silent pivot
#

I've gotta disagree with that statement TBH, I'm reasonably confident that a LOT more builds than you think can reach 300-500 corruption, even with 1x t7 gear as the limit

frank bramble
#

But if we focus on one group of players only and punish those who are trying harder for their builds to be good then good luck

pulsar carbon
#

I don't even think the game is easy, I just think the difficulty spikes happen too early

willow sentinel
#

Just this season I did what? 5-8 builds ,and even managed to kill Uber

simple bison
frank bramble
#

We will see about that in 1.4

silent pivot
#

like the number of builds Dr3ad pushed zero-to-hero and killed aberroth in 12 hours or less is insane

pulsar carbon
#

Playing Reflect Druid and copying whatever was top of the leaderboard opened my eyes to how much content I was missing in the end game versus all the homebrews

simple bison
#

(Yes I'm aware there exists some meme skills that can't)

silent pivot
#

and he plays completely random nonsense trash builds for that frequently

willow sentinel
#

You want to "enlighten" people

frank bramble
#

Yes, enlighten as in showing what more they can do

willow sentinel
#

So your view is better

#

Than what they enjoy

simple bison
#

But if you don't say something troll like teleport I feel like there's a 90%+ chance it can do 500c if not 1000c with mostly 1lp slams (maybe 2lp if the lpl is low)

willow sentinel
#

Show them your ways are better

No, enlighten as in showing that they can do something they might think is not possible

pulsar carbon
#

I genuinely should make a list of all the builds I've made videos of and how many actually made it past just 150 corruption omegalul

silent pivot
#

most of the time, in my experience at least, the problem isn't that "random homebrew build #2358" can't do 500 corruption or whatever

#

it's that the player doing the homebrewing is just winging it and playing based on vibes, not math

simple bison
#

Yep

silent pivot
#

I play with 2 very good friends of mine and they are 100% vibe gamers that would struggle hard to get past like, 300c without math help

simple bison
#

It's harder to stumble on to a decent build on a non meta skill

frank bramble
silent pivot
#

has nothing to do with the skills or classes being undertuned, it's just a difference in how you approach the game

frank bramble
#

There are multiple

pulsar carbon
#

Seems like even with all maxed resists, a couple thousand armor, and decent healing and separate DR isn't enough for a lot of builds. Any build with a shield I tend to be able to push a bit further

frank bramble
#

But you ofc assumed mine has to be making others' choices inferior so it fits your theory

willow sentinel
#

It seems that I misread your intentions, and I am sorry

pulsar carbon
simple bison
#

Or just tons of damage / range

pulsar carbon
#

Yeah, empowered is the bane of my existence ๐Ÿคฃ

simple bison
#

It's fine. You'll improve the more you play until one day you look back and see how far you've come. I remember my first build was abysmal lmao

frank bramble
simple bison
#

It's actually the same skill I play today, but instead of barely doing maybe 200 corruption or something I can do well over 1000 corruption and even beat Uber Abby with it

#

And while some of it is attributable to power creep I was doing 1k corruption even back in 0.9

pulsar carbon
#

Okay so looking at my list of build videos. Erasing Strike, Flame Reave, Melee Lich, Avalanche Shaman, and Valor Falconer all made it past 150 corruption
Soul Feast Warlock, Poison Multi shot, Nova Runemaster, Glacier Mage, and Poison Druid did not.

#

You'd think I'd learn after 1,000 hours

#

There's a few other builds here and there and countless more I didn't make videos of, but the split generally seems to be 50/50

simple bison
#

Honestly playing and learning in an arpg can be very different activities

#

I've easily spent more time reading, learning and theory crafting LE than actually playing it

silent pivot
#

the easiest way to avoid the flop builds is just to do the math beforehand, at least for me

#

if I see a build I'm interested in caps out at 1/10th the damage I'm hoping for even with perfect gear, I know that's probably not going to be a fun time

simple bison
#

Actually maybe not double, but close

pulsar carbon
#

I'm under the impression I should be able to experiment more given the new toys and tools we're getting

simple bison
#

I guess it depends what you'd count, are we learning about LE right now? :P

pulsar carbon
#

I learned not to ignore armor, probably the first defensive thing I learned after seeing my characters getting obliterated at max resistances lol

simple bison
#

But like for example I fairly recently learned that warpath is made up of two skills, and the way it functions behind the scenes is actually really different from pretty much every other skill in the game

pulsar carbon
#

The armor thing was like 400 hours ago lol

simple bison
#

To be fair depending on your build you kinda can ignore armour

#

But for most yeah it's likely not a good idea

silent pivot
#

I actually have a build planned where I'm essentially ignoring health (it's not a ward build btw) lol

#

because it gets tons of endurance threshold, and block effectiveness ends up being WAY better for scaling EHP

simple bison
#

I've made a build that's pretty much as close to immortal as you can reasonably get up to around 500 corruption or so, the clear is fairly ass though lul

silent pivot
#

casually walking around with ~2.4K health and 50K+ EHP GigaChad

simple bison
#

But you can pull an entire echo, harbingers, exiled mages and all and stand still tanking all the echoes mobs combined

#

But the build I usually play can almost get one shot by a white maggot at the corruption I play x)

silent pivot
#

I hate playing squishy builds

pulsar carbon
#

I guess it's just been frustrating to learn after spending this much time across pre-season and 3 seasons and still not having the skills to push any given skill to 200+ corruption like many others have told me, like yourself Cyborgwars and Lothrik

silent pivot
#

learned that at release when I played a falconer and was totally reliant on silver shrouds

pulsar carbon
#

Rogue defenses suck. Idc what anyone says. Those rogue teasers were a godsend

simple bison
silent pivot
#

or whenever falconer was added, I forget

pulsar carbon
#

Falconer was 1.0 iirc

simple bison
#

Yep

silent pivot
#

I also nearly went blind playing that build

#

I have a clip saved somewhere

simple bison
#

Explosion ballista?

#

Fun times

silent pivot
#

video is a bit washed out, I think I had HDR enabled or something

simple bison
#

Yea classic

#

Think it's still the most prominent mid season fix they've done

#

(it was bugged)

pulsar carbon
#

Skills I'd like to push this season is probably Hungering Souls, Meteor, Shadow Cascade, Shield Throw, and Werebear.

silent pivot
#

stopped playing at level 92 because I just couldn't deal with it lol

#

dying on bosses and needing sunglasses to play

pulsar carbon
#

Understandable

simple bison
silent pivot
#

"just dodge the mechanic" -> what mechanic I can't see everything is white

pulsar carbon
#

I'm an altaholic

simple bison
#

But I know I'm not the norm

#

I'm the opposite of an altaholic in arpg's

pulsar carbon
#

I suppose that does screw me in some ways because it means pushing corruption is harder for me since I'm not always farming top gear even for alts, since I have to spend time leveling the others

simple bison
#

Why not set a goal for the build like killing aberroth or reaching a certain corruption or something before switching?

pulsar carbon
#

I made about 15-20 characters each in season 0, 1, and 2. Only made about 8 in S3. Planning on doing 5-10 in S4...

simple bison
#

Heh Ive made 4 characters since 1.0 on retail

pulsar carbon
#

It did help a bit since I could pass down Harbinger gear and what not

#

Which I couldn't do barely at all in the previous seasons when I didn't netbuild

#

The skill system in this game is crack. I just can't help but want to try to build in every direction in every skill tree. Like when I tried and got disappointed by Poison Multishot ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

undone wave
#

DoT in general feels like its in a weak spot right now

pulsar carbon
silent pivot
#

giving my second monitor the side eye with two DoT builds open right now

pulsar carbon
#

Tell me your secrets

silent pivot
#

time rot shield throw void knight (currently strong build) and vengeance ignite paladin (fire resistance stacking, fingers crossed blade paladin actually works as intended in season 4)

pulsar carbon
#

Both sound fantastic honestly. Time Rot is probably best DoT in the game. Ignite seems to work if you have something nuts like that fire res passive available

south moat
#

What we really need is a car transformation in the game
So I can blast eurobeat while playing

zenith pewter
#

we need romance options tho

undone wave
#

shield rush ferrari microtransaction

silent pivot
#

for poison specifically I think it's just in a bad place

#

there might be something decent on warlock or whatever with poison overload

south moat
pulsar carbon
#

The base DoT dmg for poison needs to be higher, straight up

#

The negative poison res it gives just doesn't feel like it does enough against mobs

#

Even after stacking as much +dot damage, +poison damage gear as possible

pulsar carbon
south moat
#

Yeah, I remember when I stacked like 1000 poison stacks as a warlock
and it still didn't feel like the dmg was good enough

silent pivot
#

in season 3 ailment builds tend to lag behind non-ailment builds, outside of a few heavily-optimized scenarios where they start to compete; at least in my experience

#

hopefully that changes in season 4

south moat
#

oh wait no that was the poe npc

pulsar carbon
#

I think there were a couple blade master poison/bleed teases and I thought to myself, "well yeah if the base damage of the ailment isn't ass"

zenith pewter
south moat
zenith pewter
#

it's Leena but close enough ๐Ÿ˜

south moat
#

Leena, yeah

pulsar carbon
#

Leena, my beloved

#

So many characters from chapter 1 are just never seen again

south moat
#

She's also no longer in the camp

zenith pewter
#

do you think Leena is the oracle in the rising lake?

silent pivot

be the change you want to see in the world (literally, you're the only one with a time travel device)

#

||I still believe Balthus eventually becomes the Immortal Emperor believing he'll be a better deterrent of the void than the four gods|| @willow sentinel

zenith pewter
#

she did regconized me when we talked and mention about that time travel event with Balthas

pulsar carbon
#

I'll give the lore writers this, time travel shenanigans can be fun when you introduce the same character but changed and with a different name. Like how Kang the Conquerer in Marvel is also King Tut, Nathaniel Richards, Victor Timely, etc.

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

Not to mention of the three pieces at that point, one is in the possession of the voided out emperor ๐Ÿคจ

zenith pewter
#

wait nice catch, the void emperor that we fought in Eterra temple? :0

pulsar carbon
#

Yes, who says a bunch of things about regret and Eterra when we enter

#

By the time we face him and his lieutenants in the Immortal Era, he still thinks turning everyone into immortal undead will stop the void and learns the hard way later obv

zenith pewter
#

but isn't Balthas's shard remained in the last refuge?

ancient surge
#

Does that imply he never traveled?

#

We get yeeted to the ruined era with 2 fragments.

zenith pewter
#

yeah 1 we collect at first, and 1 in the settlement

pulsar carbon
ancient surge
#

Wait, wait, I got it wrong...

#

We get 2nd fragmet from emperor, no?

zenith pewter
#

no?

pulsar carbon
ancient surge
#

Chapter 1 is about securing that one shard in the sanctum during the divine era, right? Balthas uses THAT shard to yeet himself and us to the ruined era.

#

Bleh, memory too hazy for this discussion, disregard me.

zenith pewter
zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

Makes sense now. So yeah, we get yeeted by 2 fragments and nab the 3rd off of the void emperor at the end of chapter 3.

pulsar carbon
#

I think so, voided emperor has the last one, that's the basis of Chapter 3
Beaten GigaChad

#

Either way ||Balthus is the Emperor||

ancient surge
#

Always confused me when we pick up something when getting into that part of the story. We get yeeted by 2 and find 1 on the ground, no?

zenith pewter
#

yeah i was confused when i saw the void emperor in the temple, in early version of the game, it's not the emperor that we fought

pulsar carbon
#

"I am sorry Leena, and I am sorry to you too... Now with the Epoch, I'll finally be able to-"

ancient surge
#

Well, of course. I ALWAYS forget about panion...

#

And how he's the boss with the 2nd fragment

pulsar carbon
#

Ah bingo!

#

Yeah now I remember, that allows us to get to End of Time for the first time

#

1 with us, 1 with Elder Pannion, and 1 with Voided Emperor

zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

So early in the story that we get carried away by the rest of the story, eh?

pulsar carbon
#

If the lore writers were reading our conversation they'd be geeking out there are people who care about the lore a bit like me for LE GigaChad

ancient surge
#

Look, paying proper attention is for regular people, mkay?

zenith pewter
#

xD

#

yeah most people don't care about the lore, but i love it

Have the patch notes been released?

#

Thanks!

pulsar carbon
#

Seems like Eterra and her brother may have been part of a previous universe and were given or born with the power to jump into the "next" universe and create the world and all that. Orobyss thinks his sister keeps screwing up and it's imperfect and wants to try again

ancient surge
#

Act 10 expanded upon that

pulsar carbon
#

They are part of another race of beings that are in stasis in Eterras temple

zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

Eterra created the gods of the Divine area.

#

Orobyss is the Observer, which we get to see at the very end of Act 10.

zenith pewter
#

yeah

ancient surge
#

And just how his future self gets back to his "ancient era" self.

pulsar carbon
ancient surge
#

He cannot be killed, Eterra sacrifices herself to imprison him to give you time.

pulsar carbon
#

I think there's a prime Orobyss who keeps corrupting his past selves in different timelines

#

By sending us

ancient surge
#

Apophis was the carrier of future orobyss's will.

pulsar carbon
zenith pewter
#

nah he's sending Apophis to show the Observer the ruined future to start the corruption

ancient surge
#

Sure, but nothing outside of a god can kill orobyss is what is implied.

pulsar carbon
#

And by proxy, us

ancient surge
pulsar carbon
#

EHG has said the Orobyss expansion will wrap up the story. Or rather everything tied to Orobyss

ancient surge
#

Whether future orobyss is malicious or just trying to warn his ancient self, well.. got lost in the translation.

zenith pewter
#

yeah

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

Probably just a loop that got started by the first one, he saw imperfections, turned to then void to use it to wipe out timelines, wants to let his past selves know about how ugly the world is to him, and the cycle starts. And we help the cycle continue without our full knowledge because we haven't walked the walk yet.

ancient surge
#

Brings the question of what is the void in this universe, really. I can also call upon the Divinity series which, though its own story and means, explores a similar thing: What makes a god an actual god in a universe where magic is real and powerful.

#

And how that can be corrupted.

pulsar carbon
#

My guess is we'll probably go back to End of Time and speak with Forgotten Knight and Gaspar about options

#

For the next chapter

ancient surge
#

I ain't guessing nothing, because making this kind of a story cohesive is well beyond my capabilities :p

pulsar carbon
#

Technically the loop is complete now that Apophis and us have corrupted the Observer of our current universe/timeline. The question is how to prevent everything in chapters 1-9 from happening? Do we go back to when Orobyss corrupts Rahyeh? That seems to be the first instance, because nothing happens really in Ancient Era with void besides caging the Observer

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

Paradoxical shenanigans everywhere omegalul

ancient surge
#

Well, Apophis calls you traveller and is unsurprised about your presence at the end of Act 9.

#

Kinda implies she knows you.

zenith pewter
#

she was informed by Orobyss

pulsar carbon
#

Because Apophis was warned by Orobyss

#

Albeit, seems like prime Orobyss wanted you to find Apophis so Chapter 10 could happen

zenith pewter
#

He wants her to stop us before we can reach to the temple in ancient era

#

she said "it would have been nice if we died with Majasa"

pulsar carbon
#

I like to think the universe we are in is being observed by a prime Orobyss from outside it, that is seeing the broader loops happening

ancient surge
#

Right, ok. So, Apophis was informed and set on a path, while you follow this path that connects with hers predictably, because of course orobyss knows the past.

balmy arrow
zenith pewter
#

mmm i think Orobyss is from one of the timeline, and he wants to overwhelm all other timelines

ancient surge
#

This is a weird one, since the Observer had been resetting timelines for Eterra before we even met him.

pulsar carbon
#

"There's always a bigger fish"

void hatch
pulsar carbon
#

I mean when we meet the Observer, "our" Orobyss is still operating, hence the paradox

ancient surge
#

We have no "Ancient era" timeline as a whole. So far, we can infer that anything after that event where we and Apophis reach the Observer is dynamic.

pulsar carbon
#

True, there is a ton of blank space between Ancient Era and Divine Era.

ancient surge
#

We also had very little of Ancient era itself. We only have our interference at the end of the temple of eterra. (i.e. it crashing from the sky)

pulsar carbon
#

We are still not 100% sure when and why Orobyss decided to corrupt Rahyeh

zenith pewter
#

huh? Rayeah was not corrupted

ancient surge
#

Rayeh in our timeline was never corrupted

#

Black sun is one of the alternate ones.

zenith pewter
#

yeah

ancient surge
#

Rayeh got overly ambitious.

pulsar carbon
#

Oh that's right, I forgot his reason for starting the war is to grab the Epoch

ancient surge
#

As was his nature which could permit it.

pulsar carbon
#

I've fought Black Sun so many times I forgot that's not ours ๐Ÿ˜‚

zenith pewter
#

all monoliths are alternative timelines

ancient surge
#

By the by, abby ties the story together, funnily enough. His few lines are key points that never change:
Eterra always "leaves" the timeline. The Gods always fight eachother. Humans go on to form the immortal empire and the void wins at the end.

pulsar carbon
#

Yup, Abberoth feels like something that would take place sometime after Chapter 9-10

ancient surge
#

We are still 2 chapters away from the conclusion of the orobyss story.

#

Rather, 2 more chapters are planned and the end of it will be the conclusion of this story.

pulsar carbon
#

That prime Orobyss fight better be lit ๐Ÿ”ฅ

zenith pewter
#

man fighting uber abby is tough enough, now we have to fight his boss ๐Ÿฅฒ

pulsar carbon
#

If we kill Orobyss and the void, my guess is the next major plot will involve the race in stasis that suffered the "calamity" that Eterra mentioned she and her brother survived along with the stasis folks

ancient surge
#

By that point, maybe gear power creep changes things?

pulsar carbon
ancient surge
#

Or, and hear me out, we beat campaign orobyss with help and then face orobyss... prime? in the monolith on his own terms?

pulsar carbon
#

Uber Orobyss RuneofCorruption

#

Also, we still haven't taken the lance back to stab the emperor ๐Ÿ˜ญ

zenith pewter
#

normal Abby at 300c so i guess normal Orobyss is at 500c?

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

I think what's his face has it

zenith pewter
#

we do have it when we killed Majasa

severe socket
#

Yes, we should still have it.

zenith pewter
#

right

severe socket
#

It's never been said explicitly about what happened to it after Majasa, so it's safe to say that it's still there with us.

ancient surge
#

It being a big lance, I have to ask... who's holding it for us? :p

pulsar carbon
#

Zerrick kappa

zenith pewter
#

so i wonder what killed Rahyeh, coz he can only be killed with the lance right?

ancient surge
#

We got the lance for the immortal emperor. (i.e. murder him)

pulsar carbon
#

Took me way too long to figure out the two guys you fight at the same time in Immortal Era at the emperor throne is the ship captain that takes you to Lagons island and Zerrick the guy who helps you with Majasa ๐Ÿ˜ญ

severe socket
ancient surge
#

We were taking it with us (us being player, yulia and whatshisface)

#

Then we got to the palace, we get in by ourselves and face apophis get taken to ancient era.

#

If the lance was not with us during the majasa fight, it was with our companions.

pulsar carbon
#

Considering how messed up the Immortal and Ruined Eras are, anything could've killed Rahyeh at that point, could've been us but we haven't had that chapter yet I guess, or it might not be necessarily with our involvement

zenith pewter
#

no the lance was there when we killed Majasa, we got her blessing, which is her blood

ancient surge
#

Fair enough. Then I guess the pocket dimension pocket is the answer, as ShadowDweller pointed out.

pulsar carbon
#

Yulia is probably holding onto it, but not long enough to become an undead omegalul

zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

The lance itself... was it even a regular sized, but special lance, or was it... even physical? Is it like a laser pointer?

zenith pewter
#

it's a physical lance, you could see it pierced Moditas back then ๐Ÿ˜„

ancient surge
#

Looked a bit like ice to me.

pulsar carbon
#

It's a physical lance that stopped Morditas. Which btw will be a Season 5 theme...

#

Seems like LEs version of Wrath of the Lich King will happen in S5

zenith pewter
#

haha

#

i see the resemblance, Orobyss is Murozond

ancient surge
#

But I'll take your word for it, it was a full-sized lance then. Pocket dimension pocket it is.

pulsar carbon
#

Do we know if S4 will have Chapter 11?

zenith pewter
#

no

pulsar carbon
#

Bummer

ancient surge
#

Rayeh, well... rayeh only kills one of the gods, we kill Majasa, but there's still good old Lagon left behind. once we leave the era again.

#

Both of them die in due time, if we consider the abby line.

pulsar carbon
#

Lagon just doesn't seem to give a crap and is full of himself,

ancient surge
#

Just how? no clue.

pulsar carbon
#

Oh they all do, it's implied the Emperor killed at least one of them iirc and then he gets voided and his era ends too

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

It all leads to the void RuneofCorruption

ancient surge
#

The gods tore our world apart, they deserved their fate?

pulsar carbon
#

I'm still not sure why Majasa is the only one that needs people to sacrifice to stay alive, where the other three seem to just be normally immortal

zenith pewter
severe socket
#

Same deal essentially.

zenith pewter
#

he didn't care about Rahyeh killed Heorot, he said Majasa is next and laughed hehehe

pulsar carbon
#

Eterra and Heorot seem to be the only "good" gods

severe socket
#

Lagon is full of his betentacled self because he's sure that all the water he dwells in will prove to be a challenge for Rahyeh to evaporate.

ancient surge
#

Eterra is a benevolent god of life, as it were.

#

As opposed to Nurgle.

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

No I had the dialogue bug that skipped everything except the final line

zenith pewter
#

try again and she will explain

pulsar carbon
#

I think they fixed that but haven't replayed Chapter 10 ||because I don't care about the all attributes all that much||

ancient surge
#

Eterra's lines in ACT 10 imply that the 4 gods are kind of aspects of a whole.

zenith pewter
#

yeah they represent something

pulsar carbon
#

Yeah during the statue fight?

ancient surge
#

mhm

#

They have a virtue and a detractor that can lead them to destruction.

pulsar carbon
#

Chapter 10 really left more questions than answers omegalul

severe socket
#

EHG really pushing LE to be a typical live-service game, huh...

#

What with withholding the remaining story chapters and all...

pulsar carbon
#

I mean they left the door open enough to go in other directions after Orobyss is finished so no worries imo

severe socket
#

Filler patch after filler patch after filler patch. Sigh.

ancient surge
#

Onee second... where is abberoth in campaign?

ancient surge
#

Or, atteroth

pulsar carbon
#

If anything time travel stories are hard to get right and they want to take their time with campaign stuff. I remember people being pretty impressed with Chapter 10 on release, especially visually

zenith pewter
#

you can only see his victims during campaign

#

those victims could be us :0

ancient surge
#

So, the whole nemmy mechanic, yes?

zenith pewter
#

yeah

pulsar carbon
#

Abberoth is implied to look like the Observer but just purple, larger, and with spooky tentacles and stuff

short vessel
#

We may meet him and his sister pre-end of time in future story chapters but atm they don't exist in the campaign

ancient surge
#

Ok, but you (Coffin) said abby makes some statements during the campaign?

short vessel
#

You're getting mixed up lol

pulsar carbon
#

I know he is the Observer cook lol

short vessel
#

No no

#

Abby is a different character

#

You're thinking orobyss

pulsar carbon
short vessel
#

No that's orobyss

pulsar carbon
#

Oh yeah no Abberoth completely different dude

zenith pewter
ancient surge
pulsar carbon
#

I do get Abberoth and Orobyss mixed up occasionally. Nomenclature is hard

zenith pewter
willow sentinel
ancient surge
short vessel
pulsar carbon
#

All the lore you get about Abberoth is basically just from the Harbingers, Abberoth himself, and his sister the Forgotten Knight (who has a name that I forgot, ironic)

ancient surge
#

Well it was rather that I was mentioning that 2 of the gods die without our direct intervention. But we KNOW they died because abbertoth implies as much during his fight.

zenith pewter
#

Her name is Jenifer or somwthing

pulsar carbon
#

Now that I think about it, killing Abberoth is probably one of the most impactful things we've done that likely isn't a part of the cycle which makes sense since it's not tied to the campaign

short vessel
ancient surge
#

All the timelines have a select few constants and abberoth only appears post-campaign. So far, means he's a unique entity that may have existed in one timeline or something that ended up becoming the first harbinger of orobyss.

#

For all we know, we could be abby :p

pulsar carbon
#

Right and since we're "outside" of time, there are likely no other Abberoths

ancient surge
#

The 2 planned chapters are not out yet, so anything (almost literally) could be the case.

pulsar carbon
#

Oh and before I forget The Weaver has a hand in all this, but we quite don't know what yet

zenith pewter
#

talk about the weaver

ancient surge
#

Eterra and the Observer are lesser gods, as per act 10 impications.

#

So, yeah... who the heck knows what higher gods there can be?

pulsar carbon
#

iirc Masque believes she is the one who helped get the cycle into place and she absorbs lost time from other timelines to help facilitate the prime timeline. Don't quote me though I didn't pay attention to the Weaver lore nearly as much. Chaos and all that

short vessel
pulsar carbon
#

Thank you, Grael is whatshisface

ancient surge
#

We just went through it earlier: the lance is in our pocket dimension pocket.

short vessel
#

It isn't, we gave it to grael

ancient surge
#

We had it fighting majasa, no?

zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

We were alone in the temple, as it were.

short vessel
#

Oh shit yeah

#

Sorry

Derp

ancient surge
#

Made the same mistake earlier, you have my written, uh... comiseration?

pulsar carbon
#

Isn't there a cutscene with Grael holding the lance?

short vessel
#

But what we do need is rayeh's blessing on it

ancient surge
short vessel
#

Or w/e it's called

zenith pewter
pulsar carbon
#

So he just hands it back to us?

ancient surge
#

Beats me, we know we have it for the blessing of lagon and majasa parts.

short vessel
#

Idk

#

Lore not my strong suite

pulsar carbon
#

It's go to Morditas, kill big tree guy, get the lance, Grael holding lance in cutscene before going to the docks

ancient surge
#

Unless wireless blessings work in this universe?

pulsar carbon
#

See this is why I was confused a bit about the lance talk because I swore we gave it to Grael

zenith pewter
#

nah Lagon smeared his blood on the lance

ancient surge
#

Techically blessings are generally wireless, so I am at a loss as to when touching an object to bless it became a thing...

Ahh I remember now

pulsar carbon
#

Hey I'll just say I really didn't care about the story for a long time, but after playing the campaign a billion times making alts I paid attention and it's a nice Chrono Trigger homage

zenith pewter
#

oh it's Toast the lore master

willow sentinel
#

Majasa "blessing"

pulsar carbon
#

It's funny we really haven't resolved the whole lance into the emperor deal omegalul

pulsar carbon
#

I'm also really curious if they will take the "we were the bad guys all along angle" and we're trying to atone

willow sentinel
#

Who the emperor is? Is the billion dollar question

zenith pewter
#

i'm not the bad guy D:

pulsar carbon
willow sentinel
#

Balthas? Isn't that the old guy?

ancient surge
#

Yes

#

Our keeper

pulsar carbon
#

Yeah, we had a big discussion about it earlier been my theory for a long time

willow sentinel
#

He goes from divine era straight to Void era and die there

zenith pewter
#

Danz has a theory, he explained it earlier

willow sentinel
#

No way he is the emperor

zenith pewter
ancient surge
#

Can't say I payed full and proper attention myself, but void emperor is emperor from immortal timeline, no?

willow sentinel
#

Void emperor?

#

The remain of the emperor you mean?

zenith pewter
#

the one you fought in eterra temple

ancient surge
#

right, yes.

willow sentinel
#

Thats the immortal emperor corrupted, or what's left of him

zenith pewter
#

but why was he here with a shard

muted cape
#

I still miss omen of silence ๐Ÿ˜ญ

ancient surge
#

Right, we were talking about the fragments of the epoch and how he holds one and how the fragments were meant to be distributed.

#

How we get the full epoch from balthas being brave and yeeting us to ruined, we pick up one shard, the 2nd is panion and the 3rd is emperor remains

#

Balthas yeeted us with 2, so how come 1 of them is on the emperor remains?

pulsar carbon
#

For some reason I can't quote myself from earlier in the channel but my theory goes like this:
Balthas says he finally has the Epoch at the end of ch1 and wants to do something with it. When he apologizes in advance to Leena and us, the Epoch gets shattered into three pieces as we get thrown to the void for the first time and then we have one for free, the other with Pannion, and the final with the Emperor's Remains. The Emperor is Balthus who wanted to turn humanity immortal therefore undead, to help stop the void, or so he believed. By the time we reach the Emperor's Remains he shows regret for what he has done and asks Eterra for forgiveness. Might even be the same VA

ancient surge
#

The panion one makes sense, since it was the one from the shelter

#

You can, but discord does not automatically let you reply to yourself, it's in the more options.

#

same VA does not imply same character, mind.

willow sentinel
#

And he help mankind survive the corruption

ancient surge
pulsar carbon
#

Could be he has enough juice in the Epoch piece to go to void era and then back, he does want to help humanity after all

ancient surge
#

Or he was yeeted to someplace else in time.

pulsar carbon
#

I can't think of any other already named characters the Emperor could be

#

It's the one that lines up the most and the time travel shenanigans definitely leave the door open for it Gregory

ancient surge
#

Yes, and it kind of adds up. I never paid any real attention to the imperial emperor, if he really wants to prevent the void, though.

pulsar carbon
#

This all started for me because of that final line in chapter one omegalul

#

"I'm sorry Leena, and I'm sorry to you too. With the Epoch, I'll finally be able to-"

ancient surge
#

To be fair, it's only the most stragithforward explanation for emperor's remains having a shard.

#

There could me more to it, but hey...

#

There is always the option that balthas ran into emperor somewhere before us, died and his shard remained with the emperor / emperor's remains

pulsar carbon
#

True, and it could've been random as well, just a bit of a boring answer, since we're not sure how Pannion got his, but him having one seems far less consequential

ancient surge
#

Coffin already mentioned: the shelter

pulsar carbon
#

Oh right

ancient surge
#

I think it's even stuck above the waypoint

#

Until panion grabs it

#

But hey, change blindness...

pulsar carbon
#

This just makes me hope they clean up the campaign after they finally finish it. Just polishing it further and making some lore inconsistencies clearer and tying stuff up. Time travel stories are never truly easy

ancient surge
#

Now, I can't call them inconsistencies, really. There's a lot and my one brain can't handle it all.

#

They may just be missing fragments of a whole story. Which is still due.

#

I'd argue that when the full story is actually delivered, that is when we can start talking about plot holes and inconsistencies, really.

pulsar carbon
#

Makes me wonder what lore bits are gonna be added with Shattered Omens, especially since it's adding more Weaver stuff. Rift Beasts were just "Monster that can time travel!!"

ancient surge
#

Heck, "story so far" is too much for me at any one time. And there's more than just LE's lore on my mind at present. At any given point, really, but hey?

#

I am very mechanically oriented and I know the story has to make sense in relation to the mechanics. That brings 2 approaches: The lore demanded it, or the lore was written to incorporate it.

#

Mind that mechanic is a generic term, so you can have a sort of cause and effect chain where the lore demands a mechanic that requires another mechanic to make sense, but that other mechanic needs lore to support it.

#

Games are way more complex than just a story.

pulsar carbon
#

I've gotta hop off for now, best lore conversation I've had in quite a while lads ๐Ÿ‘

Crossing fingers for spellblade buffs

willow sentinel
#

Fire Aura buffs (big ones)

#

New class passive > gain 40% of the flat Melee on your weapon as Flat Spell

ancient surge
#

For a bit there, I forgot fire aura is mostly used by spellblade, but it is a skill that can exist outside of spellblade. I think fire shield notoriously links to it.

willow sentinel
#

It's a Spell that uses 1/3 of the Spellblade passive tree
And somehow is better on Runemaster

south moat

Might be better after the patch
hopefully

willow sentinel

Numbers looks way better

With what we see

Silver Shroud ftw

May be a hot take but you're right. It's just so good, and because it's so good, it's difficult to add fun interactions with it (set effects or anything really) because it's already so good.

south moat

Just a few more hours to go until the rogue stuff Gregory

Thicket of Blinding Light gonna get nerfed confirmed? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Yes

Classic true authentic EHG experience, lets get ready for the patch that corrects bugs that bring new bugs for the next 3 weeks !!! Yep pee they didn't read their tooltip nor code again !

turbid silo
west ivy
#

cleaver solution + brutality is gonna be funny on classes that don't actually care very much about things like armor

outer tundra
#

It does not remove the previous effect

#

Your lich will decrease, but not your armor

#

If they also reduce armor, then this bonus kills the defense

willow sentinel
#

So no %Armor from Str

outer tundra
chilly ember
#

literally doubling your damage sounds pretty worth it

outer tundra
#

Most melee builds have good armor, the only exception might be spellblade

outer tundra
west ivy
#

I mean it's all trade-offs

chilly ember
vocal sonnet
willow sentinel
#

Nope

#

Wp has a mana cost of 1

#

Because mana cost =/= channel cost

west ivy
#

there's a build that uses Rive + butcher's crown so you're always in Frenzy, meaning swapping vit for rampancy is going to make you lose health and some resistances, but you're also getting a ton more damage
600 health, 60% poison resist, 60% necro resist as a trade-off for 300% Frenzy effect? crazy

simple heart
#

Just put the more frenzy effect belt for more damage and less defense and go OS Uber

west ivy
#

butcher's crown gives you permanent fenzy but it's a primordial like the belt so can't have both

simple heart
#

Yes take the belt it scale with strength

#

More x more=more^2

west ivy
#

ok but the butcher's crown already gives you a massive amount of extra frenzy

primal abyss
#

Sounds like it's time to cook, then groleshades

#

Also yay Hype Week Day #3

turbid silo
#

Hype Week Day Three! WOOO ๐Ÿ™‚

ancient surge
zenith pewter
#

1.5h

west ivy
#

the belt might give you higher benefits, but requires some way of activating the frenzy and you're going to take vastly more damage too

tall lagoon
west ivy
#

the 9 to 15% increased damage taken while you have Frenzy is going to be massively boosted too because it scales with the effect of Frenzy
yeah you're doing more damage and hitting faster but you're also making that 9% into 50% more damage taken

tall lagoon
#

I don't think it would apply that way, the actual effect of Frenzy is 20% increased attack and cast speed. The increased damage taken is a seperate condition

west ivy
#

Fangs of the Berserker says the damage taken and dealt are altered by "increased effect of frenzy"

tall lagoon
#

Ope you're right, missed that line

#

Last time I tried a frenzy build I went with Butcher's Crown instead specifically to avoid that effect

west ivy
#

yeah butcher's crown + sword catcher works fantastic

rancid pulsar
#

now that it's 3% inc damage taken the downside seems very managable

#

(also the item actually working helps :P )

tall lagoon
#

Am I going insane or wasn't there something revealed recently that increases area of effect? I can't find it now

ancient surge
#

Hmm, considering how arpgs in general work, there is something to be said about one-hit-kills. So long as your defenses are sufficient, but you one-tap most things and also hit the bosses even harder, yes you take more damage, but if there's nothing alive to hit you, well... not take as many hits to boot. Even big bosses, the shorter a fight is, the lower the chance of slipping up and dying.

# night marten madness convert iirc

That's what I thought, but it's not listed in the forum post. was it somewhere else maybe?

Madness:

1% Spell Critical Multiplier per point.
1% increased bonus damage taken from critical strikes per point.
night marten
#

it might be exulis amulet with madness convert then

#

someone had posted everything together

#

recently

rancid pulsar
#

it is exulis I believe

#

kinda unfortunate madness's inherent effect is useless for DoT, I wouldn't have minded some area scaling

tall lagoon
#

Ah yep that's what it was, someone had posted the effects yesterday. Thanks!
