This one was nerfed pretty sure. Most likely the regular version is a bit weakened, but it works
so what class got buffed the most
Buff? Well we are gonna need those for every class if 2t7-3t7 items are about to become extinct
Or close to extinction
gg
Nightblade: +10% chance on hit to inflict Shadow Daggers per point, doubled if the Bladestorm is inside a Smoke Bomb. Max 4 points. "Bladestorm wont be nerfed it'll just be better." XD
I fell your pain brotha
holy notes
How was imprinting nerfed? Having trouble finding details in the notes
Honestly I’m not all that shocked.
I hoped they wouldn’t nerf party play to the ground. The BEST part of LE.
But at least now we won’t care they didn’t fix the social stuff. 😂😅
Can't fix it? Just remove it xD
Imprint item nodes drop items 50% less frequently.
Similar items dropped from imprint item nodes have a much lower chance to have multiple exalted affixes.
Similar items dropped from imprint item nodes have a much lower chance to be very rare unique items.
Every aspect of them
the rate was cut in half and a reduced rate to give multiple exalt affixes
We're back to beta boys
Oh okay I mean… it still works. It was definitely way too strong
oooh that's interesting. shadow rend has a lot of build paths/builds it sockets into.
cant wait to slam a 755 on my 3lp item
They put a lot of effort into making sure rogue didn't have just one synergy path
Imagine getting 2 red rings as MG...
Lol they basically deleted enigma for mage
ya rip mage
Mage had 1 build xD
They just don't give a shit about MG and the 1.4 patch is another proof of it, number of t7 affixes for search? What number if it's always going to be ONE 
holy spell blade
LB was carried by that item so mage is gonna be pretty depressing
Mission impossible, even Tom Cruise can't save this tragedy
fire aura firebrand XDDDD its gonan be a real build this time for real i promise.
sus
#JusticForShammon Kappa
“40% of added melee damage on weapons is also gained as added Spell Damage of that type”.
pure melee spellblade is deadge :S
i dont mind but god damn you didn't have to murder ti like that.
totally agree with what youre saying. target farming double exalteds is gona become extremely difficult i guess...
I don't know if it'll kill uber but abby but it'd defiently be fine as a season starter
well seems as they slapped mage back to warpath I guess, old reliable
Yeah if the devs actually PLAYED in MG they would have any insight but yeah, better to just spit the nerfs out without any longer consideration or plain talk to some really dedicated MG players
Idunno a lot of this communities takes feel like the whole "If you needed the power you didn't deserve it." moments.
Nice good job ehg in f up your game screw the imprints for the cof guys good job guys
weird crash out
I think you wanted to say for everyone xD
Now basically we get screwed hard mg still has trade but us yeah run a million more troves for way worse results
wait so one player is complaining about imprints for mg, and another is complaining for cof.
almost like its just a nerf in general and its not aimed at one one group of players
At least your guild is gonna be relevant after the first two months
they were talking about other aquisition methods previously.. but honestly how many are there to target farm specific double T7 items?
Oh and you want your triple exalted ring which already doesn't imprint good enough cause cof does nothing for that to give me what 1 t7 exalts nice
None
That's the point
right
im confused is mg bad or is cof bad
Mg is massively ahead of cof
everything is bad because nerf always = bad
why do you need double t7 items?
Cause at least they can trade effectively
this should tell you that the other methods are too weak ¿probably? It depends on how rare you want stuff to be but this was in no way shape or form something that casual players did, so something that was already pretty hardcore being made much harder makes very little sense, maybe buff the unused methods so they are in player's radar instead of nerfing the viable one.
Cof can't do anything like that
I mean in a power creep fantasy game nerfs do indeed feel bad
Yes, the white knight will always protect his king no matter what he does right?
yes but sometimes necessary
No one needs them, but this is the Internet. Gotta complain about something.
by that you mean anything good is traded at unobtainable gold prices day 3 xD
lol i insult people all the time i'm an unbiased jester in this court.
This nerf could've been applied with much less power
and even with imprints its not easy to get an item crafted the way you wana have it... its still a process, but now? wihtout imprints? idk man
nah i just dont constantly hold pitchforks
Imo target farming double T7s was unhealthy for the game in the first place. The imprint loop was not an exciting prospect for me
And then devs would see how it goes
You can make money if you sell stuff when there is 5 people playing sure its hard
to be fair gear progression is the only point of this game, if your saying its ok that its basically impossible to get past lp1 legendaries then whats the point
chat you know better, no name calling. be nice
ok
All I'm saying is that this imprint nerf is so fkin overpowered, it should've been 10-25% not FIFTY
Like imprints are such a specific subgroup of the playerbase to care about them though like
this
their answer to the problem also makes 0 sense, saying oh we nerf this one method because other methods were not being used means the other methods need a buff if the only method that work was already super hard to use and the other methods were simple too much.
I wouldnt mind if the progress is super rng based, you have to find a lp2/3 , it has to roll good, you have to find a double t7 item, it has to get the stats you want, you have to then slam them together and hope you get what you want. Repeat
I'm pretty sure only 1% of the playerbae even makes it imprints being relevant
But nooo gotta learn from the famous GGG that shits out the nerfs like madmen
it's 50% + MUCH LOWER
I dunno. I had fun for 6k hours in PoE, and continue to have fun after several hundred hours in LE. I just like playing the game. If I want double t7 dopamine hits I'll go buy MtG collector boosters.
I know everyone plays for different reasons though. I just like seeing a build do it's thing.
Let alone like the small group of end gamers who liked printing the exact same item over and over again
Iunno feels pretty anti-thetical to an arpg
the solution for this is discourage that behavior not kill the only way to get those items
Pure cinema
Shadow dagger spamming umbral blades needed to be nerfed so blade dancer could have power elsewhere
Basic design logic. You can't just add and add and add
or rogue will become op
And they say clown emojis aren't allowed after setting up a complete CIRCUS
yes, but this was not something most ppl interacted with, you need to nerf when everything is working as intended and 1 method is too good, that is fine, this is something different, they are nerfing the only available method, making a huge grind even bigger without any altenrative method
TBH end game was already really grindy with a tonne of rng, now nerfed imprints and still julra to finally mess with you when you get that perfect 3t7 lol. what a joke.
I still have a items I cant slam because i cant get the exalts because the forging end game items is terrible and full of RNG
Guess who supplied the market in late season with those rare items you are talking about so late starters even have a CHANCE to wear such things? Oh right you have no clue
i can only guess that they gona have to backtrack from that
I play CoF because i'm not bad at the game
🙂
Hahahah oh no, NOT BAD I haven't heard a weaker response in YEARS
this change will affect CoF even more
Oh absolutely.
I also don't care
You have to just accept rng is rng at some point.
Well if you stop playing after 2-4 weeks from the beginning of a season then ofc you won't care
if there's a means to delete any and all rng why even have it.
do you think obtaining those items were too easy? or those items should not be obtained at all?
I mean I agree with a nerf but a smaller nerf would of been better
Fkin hilarious
From what I seen many do leave after the first month.
Absolutely yes.
why tho? do you feel it was too easy to get them?
Like to see updates as the season goes along
wich one is it? both?
people leave almost every arpg league after a month, this isn't isolated to LE
this is most ARPG's. esp when others are releasing within the same month.
Yes
I'm not a no lifer I'm a full time college student playing on weekends and i can get an absurd amount of items to play with and get mod combos that shouldn't be obtained.
I feel like most people are done within a week
The games itemization is way too eays rn
Yeah but Podaj and their clique no-life the game so this is devastating to them
A nerf to weaver and a buff to other sources would of been nice
yep 100%
Oh and the retention after a month will be even lower thanks to those nerfs
Oh right because we love LE and not playing 15 games at a time?
end game 3LP gear slamming with 3t7 isnt easy. 2LP 2t7 is easy
Most people are gonna hit that 1lp wall where it takes them a long time to even attempt to get a lp2 piece of gear and quit
Does it hurt you so much?
Actually it's been pretty much proven lower drop rates increase retention across multiple games
and since LE is a sliding scale and there is no complete
it can only go up from this
Whether you think it's ethical or not.
Just look at Keepers league for PoE, retention was horrible because good loot was too easy to get even before endgame
i think they should give more options to farm but this was a system that ponly a very small % of players even interacted with and the issue to me is those players did not have any other option, it was never that this was too strong, it was just the only way, i dont think making those things even harder to get make the game any better
Ethical? Who are you to think something is ethical or not?
That's the point?
I do think they went overboard on the nerfs though
Im mad they slapped mage, what did mage do
the supporter packs look hella good
Iunno spellblade definetly dind't get slapped
what you say is true, but only if the progress is reachable. wording the change with 50% less often and MUCH less at the same time does not sound like they want something to be reachable
as a vk rive main i might end up getting fractured legend 🤞
They were obviously mad uber abby became a pushover tbh
But when I play a mage, I want to be a mage. If it wanted to play melee and proc stuff i'd play literally any melee
that is a very very big minimization about the issues with that particular league, the best poe league have been were item crafting was good and powerful items were made, its just that only having good items is not enough
Hey guys, so, Woven Legend and Primal Legend Supporter packs, are those going to dissapear on March 26th?
lets be honest gearing 1lp in every gear slot takes a day / two
with the amount of power creep in this patch i couldnt disagree more
1/3rd of mages want to play melee and proc stuff.
gearing 2lp with 2t7 takes one-two weeks of 8-10h / play (from scratch)
slander
Anybody know of another good PARTY PLAY arpg out there???
just woven. the packs stay for two seasons
🤣🤣
I don't really see that, I see a lot of nerfs
I see! Thank you Eagles 🙂
i don't like this stats so it's false, runemaster for the win
In MG now it's impossible
more non lifers flooding the concurrent player count and amking it stable for more time due to lower drop rates doesn't mean there is more players playing since 100000 players playing for 2h daily will show less concurrent than 20000 playing for 8h nonlifing
and the addition of idol layouts, and 3slot idols getting 4slot affixes, idol affix buffs cuz of the idol altars, extra affixes cuz of corruption
if 2lp takes longer than 2 weeks to fully gear, no one will chase it
well depends how much you play, for most people its prob a few days and now the gearing to 2lp is gonna take like a month maybe
exactly, its way too long
wait fractured legend pack is only 60??? 
their big pack, which includes all 4 packs, has always been 60
I thought it was priced similar to poe packs
atleast now you dont need to chase a 2lp redring cause thers no exalted rings to slam on it
I see
Always been 60 for legend
a month for 2lp is kinda disrespectful for everyone's time, i dont know if they simply dont want ppl to get up to 3-4lp or what?
nah, not even close. insane value tbh. which might be why they have money issues...but thats a them problem
Really hope they focus more on multiplayer in the future updates.
like turn LE into D4 open world multiplayer?
4 was always meant to be aspiritational, like if you get a 4lp item you've won the lottery level of luck, 3 was for super sweats who put 300 hours in a month, 2 was usually were most semi causal players ended up
THAT is actually a point of contention at EHG. mike has talked about wanting to limit certain uniques from even having the possibility of rolling 3/4 lp. cuz if its 1/1000000000000 chance, why does it exist at all
Interestingly thinking about it.
Heck no
Weavers nerfs may actually buff some items if they're imprinted.
may as well keep the chase items, theres no downside too having them
Actually makes sense
I actually like it. I like showing off my builds to randoms 
Because they're giga common anyways
There will not be 0lp red rings on MG.
think specific base type imprint you need to slam a set on
More like Diablo II
yeah, im just saying its a conversation that is/has/had happened
there are reasons for both tbh
@night marten I'm haveing a brain fart. How did you get t7 set affixes again?
havoc rune
How far have we gotten in the "this sucks why did you do that" rabbit hole
then dont make the items like that? like its fine if they want to remove power from certain items, but if they exist and you expect players to get them then you should not expect them to play foreverto get one of them, this game plays in seasons you can afford to let players get powerful in a reasonable amount of time, if you dont want that then remove the item or posibility all together
I just want to play in 5 days. Been forever
yeah, again, im just saying that the devs have had/is having that conversation. idk where they are leaning. but there is definately a case for both to be made
mike has talked about it like the last 3 devs streams
cuz of questions
yeah its the best argument in favor of the change but its half done if that is the intention
every arpg needs chase items
idk if that was their intention.
afaik, with what kain had said earlier, they felt imprinting was too strong and overshadowed other acquisition methods
I wanna play tomorrow but the staff won't push forward the release of the patch smh
why would you patch on a weekend..that is terrible
Lol
they nerf the imprinting and buff other ways, they only seemed to do one
yeah that argument is really bad tho, if other aquisitions methods are too weak to be viable you dont nerf the one that is working at a decent pace, you buff the rest.
it'd definately be worth a #feedback after season starts
End of the world March 25th... my luck
but its too late then
further to this, can you confirm that you are meant to be able to gain 48 corruption for killing a confluence with 4 gazes? I thought it was meant to be a catchup mechanic for alts, not an alternate way (easier) of pushing corruption on your main character
maybe they could reduce the nerf a bit and then next season nerf it more while buffing others
yeah but their opinion is that imprints were too strong...and the others were fine? with their actions.
now you can disagree with that for sure...but based on their actions thats their opinion
Fixes are a problem because It mean there's something that needs to be fixed
I think the problem was that once you had imprints you kind of stopped caring about the base way of farming it.
That seems....wrong
and because way too many of arpg players are minmaxers...if its not the super duper best, its not worth doing.
yeah i mean i do disagree because its super disrespectful if they intend me to get to 4lp to expect that much time out of me, if they dont intend me to get 4lp then remove it from the game
Jeezus?
i would only argue that i dont think they intend for you to have a 4lp...and definately not a 4t7 on that 4lp
which then brings us back to the why exist at all
exaclty like this feels as an incomplete measure
Why would they change marksman heartseeker is broken
They really like lightning in this game 😂
so does every arpg
its bright and flashy and players like bright and flashy
other elements are too normal xD
Zeus approves this message
And causes seizures
like if someone throws fire at me im gonna pull out a pan and start cooking
I think ur gonna get cooked before w/e is in the pan
Sorry bee a bother, I tried looking for queen bee, any ideas? I found nothing.
Bee happy
Bzzzz
Either she spawns more bees or she nukes things I'm more inclined to summons tho
Increases attack speed and damage of bees and periodically drops royal jelly which is a renamed potion like Beer.
I have no idea
I was thinking frenzy or something for normal bees
When she is hit?
Some sort of swarm
I dunno but Apiarists set could finally be what gets my gf to play.
She loves bees so I can be like "listen... Bees."
It would be cool if bees lost HP on hit cuz their real life counterparts die when they sting
Bees are just awesome and honey is so good
Honey is the only form of sugar I can take irl
I quit all other sugar so my life is tasteless
Patch notes looked so amazing, I was thinking of coming back until I saw imprint changes, as a CoF player nerfing that by 50% made me chance my mind
I love how EHG has done minions
🥲
Ppl are really going mad over something so small
I'm currently bringing this up to the team for discussion. I don't have any more info on this beyond that yet, sorry.
it doesnt happen, the chance of redemption is way to low with 4 affixs( i have 4t7s and farmed them)
My experience with minions is only limited to necro
Why not try and see how it goes?
i play legacy, and only thing left for me to do is troves for imprints and uber......
Mostly the same did do a bear last season primalist but have barely touched most builds
why not play something other than legacy?
If thats what you do! Cool
It is a pretty straight forward nerf and it already had you farming for weeks
I've had with the bomber Necro tho it's quite the spectacle
because im not playing seasonal to lose all my progression.
ok than you run out of things to do since it's effectivelly a single player game this way.
justl ike every other single player game.
Yeah I don't play lots so doesnt really mean much to me I guess
not really a bunch of people play legacy now in group and it's fun.
Its a significant nerf to anyone in CoF at endgame
im deep deep end game and it is a huge nerf.
ok but like that's designed to be the stable slower progression but long term mode. IF you're progressing too fast for it maybe it's not for you.
Like there's no good way to say this.
That's a you problem.
ever trying slamming an ulra rare 3t7 exalt to an ultra rare 3LP? it is ultra slow.
Even a bigger nerf for legacy players I guess
I'm never probably gonna do that I make 2-3 characters and then dip till next season like a normal person
Chasing the dragon never ends, so luckily you can play forever If that's your goal
😂 😭
I mean again most players legacy is for the imprint system wasn't even relevant
No clue, personally my community go between games each season
But Last Epoch hasn't pulled us back yet
Close this time tho
there isnt much left to do in legacy TBH, I like minmaxin characters even at stupid low chances but this makes it even worse.
People will say it's not but most people who play legacy are like. 2 full time job people who can't complete a season in a season
and that's ok
it's just a huge nerf.
Yeah I only have one full time 😂
Hype week doesnt include weekend?
The real hype is watching ppl mald
What i'm nicely trying to say is the game can't cater to specifically you cous. If it's screwing everything else up the fact that your very small subsection of the playerbase of hyper end game legacy gets screwed over a bit in terms of meaningful progression. Doesn't matter that much.
All the patchnotes brought the hype for the weekend, then killed it with imprint news
No
Ah yes patch notes. For some reason they didnt show up on My channel
it messes with casuals also in seasonal who have little time making it more rare.
I like marksman more than blade dancer i'm not throwing a tiffy because ALL of the focus was on blade dancer. I can accept that blade dancer needed it WAY more.
What imprint news
even if marksman is now even weaker compared to the other two
It seems that reducing the rejection rate in printing is very disappointing, as it has become even more difficult than it already was.
because it can't use the throwing dusk shrouds/on hit healing.
Lower drops and harder to min/max basically sweat killers
50% nerf basically
It seems I won't be participating in season 4 because of this. Thanks EHG.
i dont think its the 50% thats bad, its probably the "much less" thats worse
@solemn tusk see you season 5
See you never is probably more accurate
ok see you season 5
Frankly I don't care about the imprint nerfs
Me neither
Did they just forget about minions with the corruption affixes?
Making this game harder aint a Bad thing.
There's like none
attributes
defenses
Even on weapons i mean
minion nweapon ones would be awkward.
It's all in combination
imagine rolling it as a non minion character.
Imprint item nodes drop items 50% less frequently.
Similar items dropped from imprint item nodes have a much lower chance to have multiple exalted affixes.
Similar items dropped from imprint item nodes have a much lower chance to be very rare unique items.
where minion characters still get cast speed/attack speed/character damage stat thats relevant
Go to the feedback channel and complain
Not necessarily?
I dont expect them to listen anyway, they seemed determined about the change
anyone starting to theorycraft marksman yet?
So you basically cry about it but u can't actually do the basic thing to fix it
Yepp
Just venting, crying
Wondering what discussions are like in the forum threads
same or worse than here
echo chambers and all that
How many months did it take to nerf gear, skills and even farming now ? And buff enemies, which is fine tho, but nerf both Woven system and spawn rate of Rift beasts is dog shit. Isnt the point of game to farm and progress, especially with corruption mechanics which will brick lots of items in process.
Others already left the feedback and the response was "it skips progression", dont feel worth leaving feedback to a response like that, apart from just crying
🤣
Feedback channel is your place to complain
if nerfs is all you saw, you read about 5% of the patch notes
The nerfs was so bad they over wrote 95% of the buffs
I read the entire thing, don't worry.
yeah you dont need to have all the insults there
And yet they felt necessary
any theories on bee build?
Right
Buzz to the max
Highest BPS (Bees per second) in the game.
The changes are necessary, but some are very contradictory, say you make a new system that either bricks or makes ur items perfect. Then you nerf the drop rate. We don't want 3t7s but even getting 2 and getting a good legendary was kinda hard.
I got up to 51 bees at a time during internal testing. It's a lot of bees.
That's alot of bees
And also I'm not complaining I'm here to discuss.
I noticed in gif that with idol altar you can potentionaly equip 4 bee idols
+bee relic
so around 50 bees could be doable?
i mean kain just said he hit over 50...so yes i would say its doable
Confirmed by Kain
Solo cof its way way worse now so idk how its that balanced in their eyes
Good luck
uber abberoth stung to death by bees...
gonna be peak gaming
I 100% expect bees to take ubberoth in Season 4
didnt that already happen?
Lol. Bees meta confirmed
Looking forward to all the honey..
Rogue got all the changes but in the end bees
I mean, I did with internal testing, but internal testing is like who's line is it anyways. Everything's made up and the points don't matter.
But if we go Primalist, do we get dogs wolves that shoot bees out of their mouths when they bark?
with druid tree for poison chance to minnions
nah i thought a player did it last season?
I remember someone made a really solid attempt, I don't remember a kill actually happening. Normal Abby yes.
what does queen bee do?
does anyone know why cosmetics would start acting weird when I enable/disable my VPN? like I have my VPN on 24/7, and just split tunnel apps that act weird with it. but with LE, it's pretty laggy with my VPN on, and when I try to split tunnel (exclude) LE from the VPN, I just can't equip cosmetics. is this something to do with my traffic (in relation to the cosmetics) being flagged/blocked on EHG's side? just trying to figure out what (if anything) I can do about this
Her beest
what build did kain do with bees? primalist?
Game isn't for casuals anymore.
go away 😄
Druid
thats a support issue
!support
Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.
fair, just figured I'd drop it in here before I bugged the support team about it lol
bees are considered minnions right
yes. They scale with attunement
nah, all good. thats just way too indepth for the discord. lol
What is my option afte day 1 1lp slams now? 1 in 40-80 corrupting affix pool? After a 1 in3 t5 slam? Or be in Conq jail untill triple t7?
Bees are only our minions until the Queen is summoned... Then they are her minions, and the queen answers to no one.
Yes 
hm, too bad you can't put set affixes on legendaries
gotcha gotcha, I'll put in a support ticket then
appreciate you sending me the right way
still no idea what queen does other than her beest
That is all we are allowed to know. It is beyond our station to understand her royal duties and obligations.
For the hive, we do not question, we only serve.
the queen bee page on letools has some skills it does, i think
can you tell smth that will spoil some info, kupo?
Questioning royalty? Sounds like someone needs a beheading.
Lol how would I know anything?
I'm just a drone
bee*heading. c'mon it was right there
more like questioning your balance choices.
You mean beeheading
Put me in the guillotine!
I saw it after, but felt it was too much to edit it back =p
bought the most expensive supporter pack, was 27 dollars for me lol
too bad I can't put bee set on reflect armour
But, what does the queen do? hmmm, I'd say the queen lifts.
Jacked queen
A rising hive supports all drones 👌
LE Tools has some info, she's got a Bee Explosion skill and two Scratch skills https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/queen_bee 
Honestly exploding bees kind of fits how bees destroy themselves to protect the queen, so if she grants that to bees while she's out
How cares about conquered 3t7 now you getting 1t7 from imprints rofl ,for real as a guy who grinded a ton this is so bad
It makes a lot of sense.
necromancer getting 35 ward per bee exploded
and sacrificing bees
wait...acolyte sacrifice bees
Necro already has the bomber spec
but not bees!
build planner is updated with the new stuff from the patch notes?
I read it as we now need triple in order to get double >.>
Much reduced hard to tell will have to wait for frozen or dominis to datamine but for cof already keeping the t7 was bad before since cof does nothing for it like any of our ranks doesn't benefit exalt imprint just the uniques
Honeybomb necro
most of it. there are a couple things missing last i checked. but most is there and usable
at least in CoF you can target farm stuff with improved drops, but in MG imprinting is the only source.
sweet
time to cook up a build
Yes, but there's a note "Please note that not all calculations in the build planner are updated yet. More updates will be rolled out within the next several days."
The new Skills like Shadow Rend are in there now
You can't exalts and most of your imprints are that even for uniques prophecy are worse than imprint
do you know how do you get a red ring in MG?
You buy it
I can say I'm impresed with bug fix part of patch notes. Props on that part.
one that has been previously imprinted
Would always love more uniques 🙂
No you have so many people playing that you will see red rings getting sold
Now when mg is dead sure it will be bad
But for us its bad always at the end is bad for both party's so its not like omg cof much worse than mg and vice versa but mg is a lot better extra now before its dead
Do you know how hard it is to farm a red ring in CoF? Dropping one without buffs in MG is many times worse. I never seen a single red ring natural drop in MG. So someone has to drop an almost impossible drop first, imprint it and sell that imprint
99% of red rings in MG come from imprinting
My guy i have 2400 hours playing this game i know what trade does and allows because many more people play at lower odds or whatever is still a lot more people playing
so what do we think about the patch notes boys?
Now when its dead good luck
that has nothing to do with I just said about getting a red ring in MG.
Oh, queen bee is huge
Many months have gone by... I am thankful. Good work.
This change seems fun, now you could clear more on echoes that have a reward you're interested in. Instead of just rushing every echo objective and leaving.
The Echo specific reward now scales with how much of the Echo’s bonus stability you gathered, indicated by three pips on the bonus stability bar that light up once you have enough bonus stability. Each of these pips increases the tier of the chest and the amount of rewards you get from it
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-shattered-omens-patch-notes/80571/7#general-monolith-changes-3
does that scale the echo specific reward or just the generic box reward?
Im kinda exited on all the little tweaks on fire aura 😄
Its going to be beautiful
Hype ❤️
Just trying to think a way to combine focus with mana guide and fire aura :DDD
Both! Because they've been merged.
The Echo reward rock and reward chest have been merged. The chest is now in the center close to where the rock was, and contains the Echo specific rewards, in addition to a few piles of gold.
so does chatgpt play the game for you now or do the devs just use it to come up with ways to exploit the player base
neither of those things happen
Nah he said it's happening so clearly it is 
Sounds like a black mirror episode
cant you not buy a red ring in mg?
you buy one that has been previously imprinted
oof
50% less imprint procs just means 50% less of the available loot for both factions will come from imprints
people were getting red rings before imprints existed and will continue to do so after a 50% nerf
they're also buffing other loot sources
And that for every time the same ring has been imprinted, because with an almost impossible drop like that, you are buying an imprint of an imprint of an imprint of an imprint of an imprint of an imprint of an imprint of an imprint .....
No other loot sources in MG.
Very excited by the loot caches buffs
you're acting like loot doesn't exist outside of imprints which is just not true, at all lol
Do you ever farmed a red ring with CoF? Getting a natural drop is almost impossible so most of red rings come from imprints of imprints
yes I have in fact farmed red rings
Holy CRAP they killed the thorns build ._.
I had a red ring before imprints even existed as a mechanic
It's hard on CoF with all buffs. With MG is way harder.
Probably with different drop chances
you do realize people were getting like 50+ red rings right
I didn't get a single one last season.
play more then? they can still drop even with no faction and no imprints
Stone of Jordan Red Ring of Atlaria was linked pretty regularly in chat even before imprints were a thing.
People were finding them
I've played like 700 hours last season. Want me to play more?
People were finding them probably with better drop chances because imprinting weren't a thing
RRA is not a thing I have ever used myself. Even dropped one season 2, egg'd it into a brick with 2 affixes.
Red rings is just an example.
I can assure you that people will still be selling red rings in merchants guild even after the imprint nerf, because again, they were doing so before imprints existed as a mechanic
less does not mean zero
I can assure you the price of them will be many times higher
The horror
Having to pay a price commensurate with the cost associated with procuring a product? Anarchy.
Which is way higher times the cost of the previous season.
Better get farming then
Better delete MG then.
farm some valuable idols and sell those, congrats now you can afford a red ring
Imagine if everyone farms valuable idols to afford a red ring. Those idols will become not valuable.
whatever man, if you want to be a doomer that's on you
better be faster then
go CoF if you really think it's that bad
And we get to the moment when someone calls doomer when there's no argument. W/e, I'm not changing anything anyway
it's not like red rings are build enabling in the first place
they're a luxury item with generic stats
Red rings are an example.
I mean show me where they're wrong though. All you're doing is saying that MG is ending, no one will have RRA, what's the point etc. That's textbook doomer-ing.
If we all know that then there's no point saying it, is it?
Wasn't RRA the actual rarest random drop unique?
imprints being worse nerfs everyone, not just MG; and even if you think it nerfs MG more.. good? MG was stronger than CoF precisely because of imprints
yes
Ravs is
Next patch there will be quite rare drops with lp2, in example.
Or apparently no
If only considering random drop sources
Random drop sources are the sources of MG.
I'm talking about how you can farm ravs from husk of gaspar
Rip Chuck Norris 😢 worst day ever
Chuck Norris and Inprint the same day !
Yeah, ravenous void both drops from random sources and as a boss item from husk of gaspar
That' doesn't happen for every item
I've got 10 tabs of worldsplitters and didn't drop a single lp2
Can we not make corrupted items on Letools yet?
over at the far right side
I guess its just not on idols yet?
Wanted to make idols with Bees Per 10 Seconds 😛
Are we calling it BPS? 😛
seems to exist for me
How many did you nemmy egg? (the world splitters)
make sure you have the right size idols
yes (5 tabs of them)
I ask because I did VK season 2 and I never kept track, but I think I had about a dozen 2 LP of that axe, lots of bricks, but did end up with a decent one by the end of it all. Power of CoF, though.
are unique armors actually appearing on the body like they look on the item card?
Double-checked, yeah, I managed to hit the armor shred (t5) back then after several attempts.
on some, yes. they are behind (and have always been behind) on the armor cuz it takes 5x as long to make the animations for 5 characters
I recall I bricked a double T7 exalt trying too. T7 armor shred with T7 melee void.
Yeah.. Just curious.. I've been with the game since lagon was the end boss, so ... been waiting awhile for stuff like this. And yeah... stuff like this do matter to me. 😉
it matters to alot of people, its just a time issue
shadow rend at lvl 3 seems absurd or is it just me?
why would it be absurd?
lets goo @night marten
shasow rend just seems like a better warslash, which i def am going to try out
Oh so it got healing it just wasn't any good at dealing damage besides throwing 😛
20 mana cost is a big deal
eh i'm used to using 0 cost mana gain on rogues
yeah kinda, throwing shadow cascade or shadow daggers, rest was underwhelming
are the new uniques and set items listed in the patch notes or am I just blind?
clicking on it in the index just takes you to a line of text
Am I the only one to have frequent freezes when playing (online) necro with lots of pets on some mono maps ?
you can find them on lastepochtools.com
yeah forum thread aint great to read items and nodes, the fact that dammitt can already have an updated database is kinda goated
i'll probably go bladeshield and bladestorm as league starter, bladeshield stacking and "shotgunning" is going to be huge i'm thinking
the build sites had an early datamine build to pull stuff from
so they could be ready on launch
yeah that was already the case in past updates and is REALLY nice to be able to get right into theorycrafting
tbf bladestorm moving like crazy cause of movespeed nodes with shuriken orbiting might be really fun
the map overlay change is so good
Hey there! i got something nice to add to one of my observations some weeks/months ago....
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2727411454?t=1h30m10s
The current live stream with mike and justin... do you remember it? xD
There you have it.... mike downed, gets targeted by the fire circle....😂 ♥️
We had quite some discussion about it, with a mod too i guess.^^
so they finally did it, they kill it falconer
Lmao the imprint nerfs
What was the issue with people enjoying singleplayer experience?
Sometimes I really wonder why devs hate that people enjoy the game
it killed the general item hunt, it made item factions irrelevant at some point because imprints was king for everything and farming the best of the best multiple times an hour, is broken.....
It was the right decision for the longterm game
Lol, doubt that, but I guess we will see based on player numbers few days into the league
Guarantee you the player dropoff will be twice as high as it was last league
these won't be because of that alone...
every healthy mind knew it was overdue
hi
I strongly disagree, only reason I was able to play 4-5 weeks every league is because it was not pain to actually make builds
It's still not a pain. It takes few hours to get into emp monos.
yes you get 1lp gear day 1 and then it takes a month to get lp2 gear
if thats your opinion, its fine... 🙂
At a certain point, in my eyes... it is stupid to just perma print items like hell, always getting 1-4 red rings a day with just moderate time invest makes the item system completely broken.
It just ruins the whole item system.
It will still be possible, its not gone.... but a heavy reduce in that frequency was necessary.
But ofc i do understand people, that just wanted that kind of playstyle...
what happens if you have spinning shurikens but your shadows cast them?
Alright I will give you a solution thats 10 more sane and reasonable - only nerf it for Bazaar players and leave COF alone?
it should orbit the "copy" that just disappeared
nvm they dont orbit they are thrown as normal shuriken
you sound a bit like the system is gone....
It was just brought down to reality a bit. What have you done before the imprints?
Seems a bit like the game suddenly got unfun for you^^
from the shadow location
Indeed
meh no shuriken orbiting bladestorm then :/
It did, I did not enjoy the seasons as much before the imprinting was added, them having nerfed them with COF for no reason whatsoever is just stupid
so shadows can't drop bladestorms right?
I 100% understand nerfing imprinting with Bazaar
not anymore from my understanding
But why should I have less fun playing basically singleplayer?
iunno
iirc they shoot out one single shuriken each
because single player is actually better for item drops come end game? which is when imprints matter
I'm trying to make dancing strieks shift shurikens work
Kalandrafication of LE
When GGG actually makes a step forward, buffing drops, EHG is nerfing them for SP players
Make it make sense
could be shadow cascade can be speced for throwing or melee damage depending on what you go for and be proced from shift and dancing strikes
Yeah that's a good idea. Especially since it scales with attack speed while triggered which also scales the rate its procd
if shift is speced for procing shadow cascade and shurikens it will only use shadow cascade from shadow tho, shurikens are only for you
this is preferred
haven't tried for dancing strike proccing both i dont have a dancing strike character arround
That one doesn't matter smoke screens to buff the razer blades sorrounding mes bleed chance.
Do you have all the teasers from stream? Pretty please
good try guys. you will get him next time
wait there were teasers season 5 or something?
There was a video of the queen bee
oh okay
And at least smth else. I didn't really watch the stream
I was cooking my fire Aura
bee queen is bumblebear. new organization of woven echoes. video of fire shadow cascade
gonna have to wait to see if a CC is gonna save mage for me
because both the builds i wanted to go got slapped so im kinda sad
Once with the exception of the new ring
Which you can corrupt as many times as you want until you either stop or you brick
it got nerfe fyi
but they didnt nerf me
Whoah, that’s a fun yolo stat stick
And you can have it with LP
so slam then corrupt
They should have just called it the ring of table smashing
@strange umbra is the brick % chance posted anywhere?
Nope
Also please ask things like that in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs instead of pinging devs
So does the purple areas on the new idol altars do? ._.
When you have an Idol Altar equipped, you will find new Refracted Idol slots with a purple background, which grant unique bonuses to Idols in those slots.
Forged weapons with bees? Sounds cool
Does profane oblation get converted to different damage types if you take the Pyromancers or Frost Lich nodes?
I dont think so...but you should ask down in #💀┃acolyte they have more specialized knowledge
im a bit concerned the the corrupt pools being so big, its a lot of risk only to get random corrupts that dont do anything do you
This is sort of the wildcard part in item corrupting system
You have a pyramid of deterministic affixes in each item you get
from crafting on them regularly, to slamming
isnt the risk of corrupting meant to be you can lose the item altogther
yes
anyone cooking any cool meteor builds with new changes?👀
Im sure someone is
So corruption you can get t1 to t7 of any said affix right
FrozenSentinel will probably do a Bhole meteor thing
Ah, I love the B-hole myself
Remember your NOT obligated to corrupt ur item
Plus u almost never corrupt your best gear unless u have multiple identical pieces … you normally corrupt your 2nd best piece of gear.. high risk higher reward
You corrupt 1 lp item,2 lp that you already have slammed and hav multiple copies you can ,even then its so bad the rng of corruption,it even has tier of affixes like thats bad
feels like you just dont corrupt until your in full lp2 gear
Oh yeah you want mana increase on chest piece its 75 choices for corruption and also it becomes t1 corruption and you wanted t7 you have to again go through all that grind again 🤣
meteor looks cool, clear could be decent with the mega aoe just depends in the single can keep up
I think the main thing people need to learn with corruption and similar mechanics in other games: its designed to not be something you can just expect to get what you want from
#bholeboys
plus with how annoying its going to be to get copies on similar strength gear
In other games you corruption either you get something or not ,its bricked here you also have those bricks while adding a ton of extra rng cause again example 75 corruption on chest piece and many are useless or not needed,the worst part for me is that if I hit said corruption why does it need to have tiers it doesn't in other games
T1 corr intelligence nice ty
Already had to beat the odds massively to get right affix
And now is a t1 affix
yeah corruptions should be t5 min
It incentives 1 lp items way way more since you gotta jungle all this bad rng they included when in this game rng is already bad
Yes at aleast
Or make it t6 and t7 you get one of those not huge difference there t5 is half power but is a minimun
Its the stuff that just tells me the QA or testing is not extensive at all looking at the patchnotes and now this reveals shows that flaw
Feels like people are looking at corruption with the same benchmarks as other farming steps. For me it's clearly something that's higher risk lower reward and I like that. I want to have steps I can decide to stop at. Ok this char has 1 affix exalts, 2, uniques, LP , and so on. And now the corrupts. It's for when you really want to push the very top end.
Heya folks. Am I understanding this new item correctly?
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AJwVgLEA
The item it's based on gives your bees DoT immunity.
The reforged prefix appears to give your character DoT immunity.
Am I missing something?
The higher risk is not the problem people just dont get it its the amount of extra rng that you have to go through none of the bad rng we have it was addressed ,as a matter of fact got even worse with the imprint nerfs
Corruption has effects on items you want most time to add affix yeah if I am doing mana stacking I dont care about 74 other affix that corr can give me I need that one,now let's say after a while I get lucky it can still roll t1 mana increase affix which makes no sense since I already had to go through such amount of rng
Or you gonna tell me its same in other arpgs
I would assume there was an issue with the datamining or the build or something and the original bees dont take dot dmg is correct. Wouldnt make sense to jump from minions to character like that
@stark canopy probably just a limitation of how these skills are displayed but maybe something to look at 🙏
there were some other things missing like the frost claw meteor node that was teased
So its not a perfect thing yet
It's not in the build, so there's that
Fix will be rolled out shortly
That seems like a really big thing for EHG to be missing in a build after they teased it 😅
There's some weird thing regarding it, it's visible in the game (that's what I'm told), but it's not in skill tree prefab for some reason, so it's not picked up by the parser.
Maybe in the next build it will be fixed.
i saw the queen bee on stream and holy xD
how's the new season looking?
Reception seems good from what I'm seeing on the trailer and patch notes
Hear me out...
Board with multiple corrupt idols... 3x 1x3.
14% Ghostflame reduces cost. Max 120% effect of idols with Primal Relic and a GG board affix. Run 3 of those idols...
30.8% per idol, 92.4% reduced cost for Ghostflame. Infinite Ghostflame + Fire Aura of Decay?!?! Back on the menu?
Most of the season looks good - the imprint nerf was uncalled for and absolutely junk due to how many imprints you need per successful craft at 77+
have you considered that imprints were overcentralising the loot chase to such an extent that it was unhealthy for the game? because that was the problem and why they were nerfed. now you need to rely on other ways to obtain items a little more
Unhealthy for the game? What does that even mean, if you're MG you can just buy them. If you're CoF you chase them, its part of the fun, running troves etc but having say 30 imprints drop and then maybe 2-3 of them actually being craftable because of the low FP that imprints generally produce and the high rolls of havocs etc. Imprint drop rate wasn't a problem
It is now.
God forbid the game has a deterministic way of getting an item!
No no we need a gazillion of RNG layers
Now they're putting more LP on some items that you wont be able to get those juicy slams on, loveeee that
Then theres the whole "higher corruption yields "MORE" exalted" tell that to my boy running 100k corruption and not really seeing anything worth picking up, lmao
This so much but our friend Kit probably doesn't know a champion even on 50k corruption drops a bunch of useless t7s
I only ever play cof, and I played a lot less of season 2 because imprints let me basically finish my character incredibly fast
May I see your finished char from S2 if I may be so bold as to ask
The fun in LE for me is the loot chase and while I think imprints are a cool mechanic I don't think they should basically be the only way to make gear upgrades
Oh the only way? I agree with you on that one but are there any other ways?
We had one option, now we have fkin NONE
Cos I mean the guy doing 100k is still chasing slams for some of his items, same char since day one and we're about to tick over how many months for a new league? lol
Spelling apparently increased though
My reward after reaching 100k was 1lp siphon lol
What, aren't you happy?
Imagine talking about testosterone levels in an online lobby full of online gamers, wild - we're all the pinnacle of ruggered manly men lol
You'll own a 1lp siphon and you'll be happy
The bonuses corruption yields are logarithmic, past 1k corruption the bonus per corruption drops dramatically
I think you mean "non existent"
Which is another cinema
At least it was well rolled haha
Harder content = less rewards
Worded it wrong
as a super lategame farmer my issue is that now what's the options for going beyond single T7 on a gear slot.
either you do an even crazier grind than before for double exalt, or you spam corruptions on single t7 items and hope to hit very specific affixes on a hyper random mechanic
those aren't good options
Harder content = no worthy reward in fact since corruption brings nothing to the table except for the difficulty
The fact that we were ever able to grind those things are power creep in of itself and isn't necessarily a good thing
Just because something can exist doesn't necessarily mean you should be able to acquire it
Oh yeah then get a beta client, enjoy your t6 slams all over the place
And then tell me if you liked it
I did
Siphon ring area 100 non corrupted LP3 0.4226% 1 in 237 Siphone ring area 100 with 100k corruption LP3 0.6332% 1 in 158 lol insane
I've played the game since 0.8
I would still enjoy it today, I still personally think itemization in LE was in its best state in 0.9.2
Maybe things shouldn't exist in the game if they're not wanting people to actually achieve having them
Without havocs and reds? Oh no thank you
I think this is probably true, or whichever patch added the temporal sanctum in general
Praying for 2 weeks to get a single t7 frost claw relic, jesus what a shitshow it was back then
I think havocs and redemptions are a good addition for the record, but they don't make up for some of the negatives that were added along the way imo. I'm hopeful that will change in season 5 with the faction changes though
To be fair I actually enjoy prophecies which is an uncommon opinion I know
i didnt play 0.92 but google says normal abby came in 1.1 - so makes sense as you increase harder stuff the power creep should go up, you bring in a 3rd pinnable boss and you absolutely savage exalted items
If they really wanted us to give up on imprints then the t7 drop rate should increase by 50% along with the imprints nerf
For both factions
yeah imprints are still one of your most powerful farming options
I think if COF had a rare prophecy type that one of your random imprints, that would be a cool way to bridge the gap
Well the new pinnacle boss isn't harder than stuff we already have
And it would make up for the nerf to random imprint drops
We're also still getting a lot of new power from idol altars, omen idols and corruption
yeah the idol altars are a lot of power
Oh of course cuz only CoF deserves the power in this game
If you're trying to say we'll be weaker in S4 than we were in S3 I don't think I'll be convinced
MG can just shove their characters up their ass with their double t7 drop every 500+ echoes
Cyborg no way weaker
but also a lot of players love chasing imprints, LP3s and more and hitting 777 slams
it's crazy to just nuke that major feature so fricking hard
50% is massive, it's almost as bad as explosive traps lol
The nerf to imprints should've been applied but not a fkin 50% axe, simple as that
I think we're just really biased towards opposite sides of this coin honestly. I've said multiple times in the past I'd be for an imprint nerf
https://imgur.com/a/FO8QGns here's a 777 brick session
it took 7 solid days to get those daggers, 8-10 hours a day
Yeah I mean maybe the nerf is too much, that I'm not arguing. But personally I do think it deserves a nerf
I don't actually know if it's too much or not for the record. I'll reserve judgement for when I play with it for an extended period
yeah so learning from other games and maybe issues in the past - start with a small nerf and adjust if needed , sheesh.
its not just the 50% its this - Similar items dropped from imprint item nodes have a much lower chance to have multiple exalted affixes.
so if you do luck out and get 777 its now dropping 50% less and with a much lower chance to drop as a 777 in the first place
Instead of one 777 from a 777 imprint dropping every 15 maps it will drop once every 50 maps, ggwp
If a 777 even exists in 1.4
Can only laugh I ran out of tears earlier today
But yeah go buy our supporter packs
I just want that lil toucan you have tbh can you imprint it?
it'll drop just a beak no legs or wings
Just a corpse
in season 18
i only went for double T7
GGG treatment in a game that has a fraction of players PoE has is a bold move indeed
so with the new corruption system.... are we going to want to use this seeing how we are unable to get as much good gear because the imprint system has been nerfed?
I know if I get lucky now I am going to want to hold onto that item for dear life
before I would so risk it
but now nah
Cookbook yeah a lot of my double 77 slams came off the back of a 777 imprint but now who knows how many T7 singles it's gonna be before you see some
forgotten system already lol
Exactly, we're cooked
The other issue being some builds require the slams and then other builds you can get away with much less sigh
Unless those echo chains give really good rewards
1800 hours I dont think I've ever seen a 77 from an echo without an imprint, not sure about prophecies either
Exactly lol
As I said earlier, in 12k echoes this season while in MG i got around 20 nat 77 drops so that averages one every 600 echoes
Oppaaaa
Atleast we got some new cool items I guess. I hope I am wrong but god damn if I am right in thinking this will be bad I am going to laugh at all the glazers who said this was going to be a great idea. I hope they corrupt and brick all of their rare items
I mean 600 echoes for a casual player is no dramaaaaa they only have their families, jobs and life to do
No doubt I'm still going to like this season from what I've seen but the imprint nerf was cringe and they should have started with 20% and "less" not "50% and much less"
Classic, prejudge whether a season is fun based on nerfs that probably don't affect your fun. Triple T7 shouldn't have been so easy anyway.
So easy
No man I can't
just said Im going to like this season budddd 😄
Its triple nerf to imprint its god awful I would have started by one at most
I even said 25% just to test it out but 50 is just a big jump. I already barely felt it work most of the time. I probably will never see a 3lp titan heart again
Oh did you guys see
SO EASY, ho lee fuk
Still not surprised to see people complaining about literal small shit in the grand scope and future of the game.
you'll see lp3 titans everywhere and you'll be able to slam with your 751 imprint lmao
Corr has like idk 75 outcomes in body chest and you also have them in tier affix so no t7 guarantee corr no no t1 can be so I can get a read ring with corr t1 intelligence or dex like rofl
Mythic if you think this is small you obviously play a different way than alot of other people
Been playin for years. It's small.
Love how they had to make tiers for corr like corr its already big in rng
I didnt say how long you've played champ, lol
Pure PoE behavior
I can guarantee ehg did 0 QA this season
No way people where like hell yeah this is great
I'm not corrupting anything this season xD items too rare to obtain anyway
pump out the slop and send hur out boys
all the no life streamers probably for they play 24/7
Imagine you get 1 lp red ring mg
Experience is what tells me this nerf is small in the big picture. And it was needed anyway.
Can't imprint that anymore
And what big picture is that?
Some shit should be really rare.
Picasso?
And now you hit corr of the affix you want idk 1 in 40 affix and its t1 dex like wtf
Oh hello there 1lp enjoyer, take a seat
how often do you play a day? if it is over 8 hours I think you are not the person to ask for you are not the normal player
Actually don't
you realise the item you need the exalted for is the rare right? like 1 in 10000 and shit for some or way more
THEN you still have the RNG slam on multiple affixes to brick it
sure mate imprints should be rare, smh.
Casuals man literally know nothing about the game
Still pales in comparison to POE.
Got my guarenteed lp1 slam, im gtg!
Still be easy AF to clear all content
If we are supposed to farm 3 weeks for a 77 item then give us 100% slams at julra
Can't even understand why all of this is bad like sure jukra just gonna let you slam 2 lps however you want for corr
Nah. Getting a 777 item in LE is pretty crazy even compared to poe
Difference is 777 items aren't something even the devs expect you to get
How it feels 1 t7 is all they want you to play
PoE SSF anyway, good luck getting MB or a Lock etc
max lp2, max 77
So grab all those shattered worlds 1 lp and corrup them all forget about 2 lp slams,3 like just forget about them also 4 lps
dont just put some rank chance on it like lp4 red ring with 1 in 32 billion or whatever it is, it'll never drop - if something will never drop why even have it
Not really? You can get a MB pretty consistently even ssf
Divination cards are op
Well. I'm not sure how it works now since they changed the atlas, if you can still target farm divinations then yeah
Lol grind an apoth and then get lucky with div gamble? Ok
so the problem is
They just catered everything to ppl that play for a month, wanna slam 1t7 1lp items and disappears until s5
Sure glad y'all trying to turn the LE lobby into a POE wan k fest
Then go handicap yourself in PoE
but what's the options available to go beyond that
Exactly.
it's either do obscene amounts of imprint farming
or obscene rng corruption slamming
and saying "the devs dont expect you to ever have that" thats an insane statement
1 lp is guarantee so where is the excitement cause now after that ehg wants you to corrupt 65 affix on relic btw and you have to hit what you want from those
Like how come nobody thought about trimming affixes that are honestly kinda useless
play the lottery heres the top prize but the organisers are nerfing your odds because they dont expect you to ever win that
fixed tier corruptions is one thing yeah
Like I would rather have idk some impressive affix than 30 poison and lightning ress
that should absolutely have been a thing
different rarity corruption runes for the tiers maybe nah just 1 and done heres ya brick "item is unusable"
Thats the thing i cant defend this level of rng ,there is rng and there is bad rng ,ehg honestly feels like dont care about the players at all with this patchnotes
Imo this is more an issue that corruption and the echo system in general kinda sucks. You should be able to improve your gear through all kinds of content, not just this one specific system. And while yeah it sucks that we're back to not having a way forward gearing wise until hopefully the expansion fixes it. I don't think they wanted imprints to cement themselves too much as the one and only way to get insane items
Tier affix on corruption like what is this
Poe 2 doesn't need affix tier you get corruption or you dont
Not thay complicated
100% get that 1 in 15k item, slam it with your 777... errr 7 and then corrupt it and hit that T1 chill lol
Like at 100k corruption imo you should just be naturally dropping 777 items lol
Every season man more eng 0 deterministic crafting like when are they going to wake up
But also nobody should get there in the first place
1.3 was okish but not good ,this doesn't look that good either its 7 months cooking this
Heck yes - for those who grind hard ( not me im a softy ) they def need more rewards it would make people want to go past 1000 more often
Yep I agree
Then it shouldn't exist
At 5k you should also to be fair
I don't disagree entirely
We'll see what they do with the corruption rework
If there is a guy at 30k corr that guy should get 3t7 natural drops often
nah, i disagree, people shouldn't feel locked into playing "meta" builds because pushing corruption is too important
I mean it's fair @dense hazel is a psychopath but still, he's played for 7 months and worked his way there
farming mechanics should take priority over higher numbers
So now people are thinking that new meta ist gonna be conquered tower spam like how is that better than troves
Its more boring in any case
Sweiton worked a lot he deserves whatever he got you aint force at all to do what he did
If you're playing a subpar build doing subpar content why expect the same rewards, idk I disagree. Like my thing is builds that go to 100k shouldn't even exist. If it's inevitable that they do just cap corruption
I play at 2k and by doing conquered and doing group play I got 4t7 gear
We (me and friends) already lay down 100-150 towers at a time, run together to double the odds of 777 items and STILL many occassions don't come out with a single 77
I dont think its insane... have you seen the %'s for LP4 on the top LP uniques? If you tell me that devs expect people to drop those then you are crazy. Just because its theoretically possible for a system to give out a specific item doesn't mean that the devs intended the item to exist
Yep
plenty of LP4s floating around chief
Not 4lp red rings
nope cos it doesnt exist lol
4lp 0lpl items are common
Nerfing imprints is locking people into meta builds. Non-meta, being equally fun, often require that 2nd or 3rd t7 affix…
Well, in comparison to other things that is
that's their point
the LP system is built on vanishingly small percentages. It is "theoretically" possible for a 4 LP red ring to be dropped, its just not gonna happen lol
4lp red rings can exist, but they're not meant to ever actually exist
valid
For me the problem is that ehg doesn't want tou to get 3 lp items but 2 lp neither or what you are going to tell me you are going to corrupt all your shattered world or super rare uniques that you cant have many at all ,the answe is no
This patch is a casual 1 lp patch and thats it get 1 lp guarantee slams get corruption
like honestly if you watched videos of a game and it looked awesome and you saw these items shown and then you're about to buy it and see "yeah the items are awesome but the devs dont expect you to ever have one" - I wouldn't buy the game
supposedly
Nice exactly what I want on a game that is 2 years old to go back in time instead of having gear progression
Not supposedly, we know for a fact
"of a game" "with items" lol
This isn't guesswork, it's datamined and confirmed
ok heres a question if one has never dropped how do you know it exists?
remember the base point of the LP system, its to allow for varying power levels of unique items to exist with differing amounts of added affixes to make up for the item power
I mean - LP4: 1 in 331,894,034,128 seems like it should happen every season cough
Because I know how lp works and know the exact odds of a 4lp red ring dropping. Thing is even if everyone on earth grinded imprints 24/7 for 100 years straight the odds of one dropping would still be low
Lp is def fine
Oh 4 lp red rings exist in offline
right now? like why are we talking about it
i was saying it was to someone else and got pushed into a tangent lol
i would love to see how many red rings have been created in total over the entire life of the game
It's just being used as an example of something being able to exist despite never being meant to actually exist
Like a 7777 item can drop
"devs don't intend you to get X thing" is such a useless conversation to have
But the devs don't intend for it to
IMO
I have multiple 7777s at the moment
devs didn't intend you to actually farm for specific slams at the start
if you can get an item with 4 slots and you have items with 7 tiers then you should expect them to exist
Which might be why imprints are being nerfed
What imprint red rings was doing is that allows people to have access to 1 lps for corr now and to have 2 lps for slam red rings are nice but at a certain point gets old seing same slam forever,now as a cof I aint getting one ever
they didn't get those through imprints tho lol
I disagree
7777s are shit most of the time you will be lucky to even get 3 usefull ones, but using them to drop 777s is now gone, and 777s to drop 77s probably gone
so you disgree with their mechanic being in the game? ok - nice that we agree
I have a bunch of 4t7 and every other slot to 3t7 thats not the problem even like that do you know how hard its to get a 3 lp slam?
Weirdly enough I think it makes sense for imprints to be changed, just not nerfed 50%. I think they should redo the system and tie it into more varying gameplay features
Yeah I don't disagree with that
tbh I think 50% might not even have been enough, a complete rework would have been better but that takes time to actually achieve
Chasing things not meant to exist though, thats like a donkey in cement chasing a carrot on a stick
Login.
i think this whole conversation is just derailed into pointlessness.
the crux of the problem is that the farm to reach single T7 is not hard at all, but the farm to meaningfully go past single T7 is now absurd
Here's the thing. I don't disagree that having a system where the "perfect item" or even close to it is so insanely rare that it statistically should never exist is a bad system. I think it's a recipe for disaster actually.
But that is the system currently in place
this kills the enjoyment of super endgame farmers, and is why we're complaining
yeah I think when the data on players dropping off starts showing this season it'll probably be considerably higher, faster than before because you can no longer minmax its all midmid
still going to play and still going to enjoy it, just not part of it lol
Yes some of us will simply force themselves to play in false hopes of getting upgrades
i'm prolly not gonna play, i'd likely play a bit despite this if the build i enjoy got something reasonably interesting (it unfortunately did not but that's just the way patches are)
There multiple problem with the nerfs cause it was 3 in 1 btw so ignore the unique nerf or the proc nerf,now the exalts are going to basically have less exalted affixes so basically my 3 t7 its going to give me 1t7 items mostly
Like I dont show 1 t7 items and I dont pick every 2 t7 ,loot in the ground dropped from mobs and boss is crap most of the time thats why imprints exist
I can tell you though if theres a bug that happens and it's exploitable I am not logging it this season, it's cashin time do your own work lol
Even though they are flawed at least sometimes I end up with stuff that has the affixed I need
oh that reminds me since patch notes brb enabling "show items with T5" on it hahaha
Yeah I mean the way its set up kinda sucks imo. I think it should reasonably copy the item you have without making it better but also without making it too much worse, and instead of just having it be a giga casino every time it procs it should just scale proc rate dependant on the item
Have any at ehg or mod like tried to slam 3t7 items sometimes you go 8 times to julra for 1 piece btw getting each exalt is a pain cause cof imprint is same as mg so no benefit for exalts
Like for example if you slot in a unique, just have the imprint always drop that unique but the proc rate scale with the rarity and lp of it
Yeah for uniques cof imprint is great but the unique aint the problem its the exalt
Since the way it's set up right now especially with exalted items the best imprint is usually not even that similar to the item you actually want from it
Thats what ehg or whoever gives feedback doesn't get
Yeah but I can redemption havoc I can empty my ring get some useful and slam
Now I cant since rings already were a pain to farm
look to be real i think complaining about triple T7 stuff is out of touch lol
It should just give you a copy of whatever you imprinted with those affixes thats the thing imprints are flawed they have problems they dont fix our issues but at least ease the grind a bit,now i feel like I got slapped in the face hard ,idk lost a lot of faith in ehg
tbf i like that
i like that there's nuance to the system
Never give them crap for krafton or paid classes but this like we do not care about you the players likr nah
I think for people who read into it it's cool but for the general audience it kinda sucks
They already messed with the imprints once back in the day and got a huge amount of people saying no to those changes, wonder how they behave now
true
