[timid willow]

crazy according to steam charts ur top player count before multiplayer was around 2400. now its 24000 /e looked at avg not peak. peak was around 8k

[placid plinth]

you are not your minions

there will be a way but not right now, support probably can but it will take a while

[median plover]

is there an afk kick? i have to make food real quick but dont want to get kicked 😛

[dusty saffron]

gotcha, thanks

[placid plinth]

yes but it's really long, you're fine

[serene laurel]

I just got my display named changed with a support-ticket in 5min

[placid plinth]

oh nice, happening faster than I expected

[median plover]

how long are we talking? or is that hush hush?

[hollow temple]

is there plans for colorblind settings

[placid plinth]

I don't know, I had dinner last night and was off for about 2 hours and it was good

[median plover]

oh, that long huh, ok then im certainly good. thanks

[placid plinth]

we have plans for various accessibility options, no details or specifics are available yet.

[hollow temple]

thanks

[placid plinth]

I think I missed a couple questions in there, sorry if one was yours anyone.

[calm leaf]

Bro your doing great.... this is not something easy to do to be honest.

[timid willow]

youve answered like 10 of my questions already lol. only missed a few

[placid plinth]

I'm trying to fix this hc death bug at the same time lol

[timid willow]

that sounds important

[oblique plinth]

HC Death bug oh no no no

[unborn coral]

Any chance we get a tornado unique?

[placid plinth]

yes. how high of a chance and by when? no idea.

[wide pelican]

yo EHG is there a queue for LE offline too

[unborn coral]

Oof 🤞

[old ivy]

We need a bee tornado

[placid plinth]

that's actually not the queue problem, it's something else entirely, I'm not sure how to get past that as I'm stuck in the exact same place myself right now

[south temple]

Will you guys be troubleshooting during the weekend if needed or is the friday evening status it until monday?

[placid plinth]

we're here for it

[old ivy]

I hope they take some time off

[placid plinth]

sometimes we shift weekends around but people will be being responsible with their work/life and personal health

[wet pulsar]

There is a bug (i think) that u cant open a reward chest after clearing a map in monolith of fate. Chest is there, but i cant open it ^^

[placid plinth]

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[fringe pilot]

Do yall use the editor in unity for level design or did you build a separate application?

[slender steeple]

so is there a way to play the game actually offline without going through steam

[oblique plinth]

you were able to make it to monoliths? 😭

[sinful sun]

are u playing in a party, if so it's just the quest item possibly and someone else in the party looted it?

[placid plinth]

Level design is all done in unity

[placid plinth]

not yet but there will be (will still go through steam but it has an offline mode too)

[unborn fable]

No question just sending some HugOps to the dev team ❤️

[trail raven]

Literally came here to do the same just now.

[fringe pilot]

neat

[placid plinth]

Please avoid general comments or discussions in this channel. If you have a game related question for me, I'll be happy to answer it.

[wet pulsar]

Playing solo since multiplayer dont work in a multiplayer patch. But im alt + f4 now. have played this game to much in single player. i want the multiplayer experience now

[shrewd charm]

any help with migrating game to steam?

[fringe pilot]

@placid plinth Seems like you need a discord bot for copy pastas lol

[smoky sierra]

Is the game down rn, or just issues to log in?

[slender steeple]

Yeah idk why i asked it like that just meant to ask for a general offline mode thanks

[pine dome]

Already some gloves

[jagged pasture]

will the classes be genderlocked forever?

[placid plinth]

if this isn't working https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/migration-to-steam/52234
please open a #support ticket and someone will be able to assist you

[placid plinth]

login issues

[placid plinth]

probably not, forever is a long time

[supple sphinx]

is there a ballpark eta on when we can login to continue playing?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have any extra information at all.

[silk knoll]

any plans for controller / steam deck support? Maybe even a native linux build if you don't have one already?

[static vale]

There's already controller support & I think there's already a linux version?

[placid plinth]

yes, we already have mostly finished controller support, several people have reported steam deck working (probably won't have official steam deck support until post 1.0), we have linux support.

We will be expanding and improving on all these things

[median crag]

IN

[slender steeple]

Do you have a favorite build or skill you designed? or if you don't work on them just one to play

[vivid wolf]

@placid plinth I don't have a question, I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate your hard work

[acoustic magnet]

@placid plinth How does the abomination scale out of Acolyte > Necromancer?

I haven't gotten the skill yet, and not in-game to get the deets xD Mostly curious about the #/variety of bodies and how that stacks up to the critter you make.

[shell hound]

Would +1 to physical skills effect minions with Physical under minion tag, or does it SPECIFICALLY have to be physical scaling tag?

[static vale]

No need to ping the devs, they don't like it

[static vale]

That's only for physical skills, not physical minion skills

[acoustic magnet]

Thanks Llama for clarifying

[placid plinth]

check out lastepochtools.com for more details, it has a bunch of info

[acoustic magnet]

Thanks Mike

[placid plinth]

I've given up on this for now

[upper harness]

props for not muting it

[static vale]

I, however, am clearly more bloodyminded & determined.

[feral surge]

Poor Mike. You're really like the frontline soldier for EHG right now, fighting in the trenches of matchmaking issues 🫡

[placid plinth]

yea, my headset is on the desk beside me, I can't hear it

[placid plinth]

I just want in game myself lol

[green orbit]

Hey Mike, do any sub skills gain the increase use of mana for “MORE” damage at the end of the rogue tree? Thinking things like burning daggers from cinderstrike. Or is it only the skills themselves.

[quasi crown]

if minions cast abilities you have... do they cast your talented abilities? or just basic ones

[tropic basin]

Is there an undocumented drop rate nerf to rings? They seem way rarer than before.

[placid plinth]

whenever an effect adds a damage stat to a skill, it propagates down to sub skills.

[placid plinth]

basic

[placid plinth]

no

[green orbit]

So if the initial cost of cinder strike is 0, but burning daggers is taking 5 mana, it won’t benefit?

[junior lintel]

Sorry to add to the pile. Do reroll chances on Affixes apply when using a Glyph of Chaos? Also, does a Rune of Discovery just ignore those reroll chances and that's why it has a higher chance of rolling rare Affixes?

[spring copper]

are there plans to not reset maps/zones after teleporting? for map/zone permanence?
I read here and on the forums that it should be in 0.9

[placid plinth]

oh, I get what you mean, sorry I didn't know what nodes you were talking about. the mana taken for sub skills is distinct from the mana cost of the skill you use. It looks at the number on the tooltip

[shrewd axle]

Where do we submit bugs?

[fossil dune]

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[placid plinth]

what reroll chances?

[fleet flume]

Are the queues moving even if we can't see it?

[slender steeple]

Hey mike so i couldn't get into offline but i got in online and used that to play my offline char

[dense dagger]

Were exalt drops buffed? Seems like a lot are dropping even in regular monoliths

[placid plinth]

I don't have any more info on login bugs.

[plucky crescent]

Do cooldowns on uniques get affected by CDR implcits/suffix/prefixes?

[slender steeple]

Saw you were trying to get into offline that's why

[static vale]

No, only skills that yo ucan cast

[placid plinth]

I think they start dropping slightly earlier now

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

I don't think crafting is affected by those but I'm not actually sure

[junior lintel]

Some Affixes are rarer than others, so I assume that's because they have a reroll chance similar to how unique items work. I just assumed they followed similar rules to how Uniques are rerolled.

[placid plinth]

yea, it is essentially the same

[rustic haven]

Void cleave seems to be consuming all my charges when I use it is this intended?

[stone ridge]

is queue real or bait? my friend is in queue but I got in instant odd

[modest steeple]

same region?

[fringe finch]

question, for the summno bear when it uses swipe can it get aspect of the panther? ame for swipe totems

[placid plinth]

I think claw totems are the exception to the rule about minions not using your skill trees

[placid plinth]

no

[somber rock]

Does the game need a restart after the last message in news a few minutes ago?

[thin zodiac]

On our group of 3 ppl two were able to enter the game with no hassle and one is getting queues

[fringe finch]

bear specific says it uses skilltree same for claw totem, but another point in there does state it doesnt work for minions or claw totems(the heal/mana gain on hit), but aspect of panther says nothing like that

[placid plinth]

no idea, you just told me about it

[placid plinth]

sounds like it says that it would probably give the buff to your bear I think

[orchid topaz]

Major bug detected - Lagon literally eats up my twin golems, and brings them to the middle of his "own arena" ... he has his back turned to me Right now not even hitting me - hes battling it out with my golems in the middle of nowhere

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[calm pawn]

Do you lose xp when you die?

[placid plinth]

no

[fringe finch]

that be awesome hope tis true) sicne dont know how i can see his active buffs to test

[placid plinth]

use a training dummy and see if their damage goes up

[vale trellis]

do the storm orbs from tornado still benefit from tree damage even if the tooltip says otherwise?

[placid plinth]

sub skill tooltips always show base functionality only

[jovial musk]

@placid plinth I hope you're hydrating between all these answers

[placid plinth]

on my 3rd liter today

[vale trellis]

sorry can you explain this as if I'm even stupider than I already am

[placid plinth]

you're talking about the storm orb tooltip not updating yea?

[vale trellis]

nah I just mean that it says in the text that tree damage (like % extra tornado damage) doesn't affect it

[placid plinth]

oh sorry, I didn't read the tooltip you posted

[vale trellis]

but I read that last patch it did anyway

yeah my b

just wondering if I should put points into it or not haha

[placid plinth]

It should do what the tooltip says

It's easy to respec, go for it and try

[vale trellis]

not sure how I'd test it, I guess a dummy somehow?

[placid plinth]

yea

[fervent arrow]

on that, where is the best/first dummy to find, now that there isnt one in End of Time?

[orchid topaz]

is the "instantly kills enemies below X% health" supposed to work on act bosses? it currently does, just wanna know if it's intended or nah

[vale trellis]

thanks I'll give that a try soon, appreciate the responses!

[fervent arrow]

unless it says otherwise, it is intended

[orchid topaz]

arrite, should work on All enemies then - good to know for science

[placid plinth]

Champion's Gate in Heoborea

[formal yew]

can we remove the name on top of of Character?

[placid plinth]

yes

[fervent arrow]

ah ok thx mike, time to grind some more then XD

[placid plinth]

not at the moment

[trail glen]

Is there a way to see how much 1 stack of poison is doing?
I can only find increased % damage, not the exact amount of damage per poison

[tropic basalt]

@placid plinth Is it intended that you can rejoin a bossfight on death when you are in a party? Saw that happen on a stream earlier and that kinda implies that you have infinite tries as long as one player survives

[coral surge]

Does that affix increase how fast I can cast my storm totem or how fast the storm totem attacks?

[placid plinth]

I think that's the way it is right now. I can't remember if we were going to stop that. I feel like we were but I'm sorry I can't say for sure right now.

[placid plinth]

how fast the totem casts

[coral surge]

ok thanks !

[placid plinth]

28 (this is a good tool to look it up, it's what I just used: https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/poison)

[pure python]

It's on the last page of your char sheet

[trail glen]

thats only the base damage tho right?
Is there a way to see the calculated numerical value that has the increased damage number? the one that has %increased DoT and %increased poison damage calculated

[placid plinth]

Knocks is right, I totally forgot that it's on your character sheet.

[static vale]

No, that's the modified damage

[trail glen]

oh i was blind then, ty

[static vale]

Though it's not modified by any skill-specific modifiers

[trail glen]

will try to find it, soon-ish

[little raptor]

You said CDR doesn't affect uniques, but does it affect class passives? I'm assuming still no but I thought I'd ask just in case

[static vale]

Nope

[placid plinth]

ICDRS on items or passives only affects the skills on your bar

[upbeat goblet]

I live in South America. I am being connected directly to the North America server. could change servers in the future?

[trail glen]

another poison related question:
On Acid Phial with Poison pool, is there a way to increase the tickrate of the poison pool to increase poison application?
Not increase poison tickrate itself, but the poison pools one

[placid plinth]

there is a bug that causes SA players to connect to US Central for some reason, we aren't sure why yet, we are working to fix server problems at the moment.

[cobalt sleet]

why is it so long?

[little raptor]

ok thanks, it occurs to me that maybe CDR should specify CDR for skills?

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[static vale]

Nope

[trail glen]

[placid plinth]

if there isn't a node right there, no

[opaque falcon]

For clarification, this means that if you have a skill specced but not on your bar, it will be unaffected by ICDRS? I think there might be a skill or two that can be procced and still gets CD that way

[placid plinth]

no, sorry, it affects the cooldowns of skills that can go on your bar

[opaque falcon]

Awesome, thanks

[placid plinth]

unless it's something like proc lightning blast on hit, the effect has a 10s cooldown, that is not the skill's cooldown, that's the effect's cooldown

ICDRS affects skill cooldowns only

[violet geyser]

It's been like this since 5 min. the number won't decrease 🙂

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[violet geyser]

sure np, my bad I won't post something similar again.

[limpid temple]

Can we see throwing crit chance anywhere?

[prisma flume]

Have the devs acknowledged the bug where HC characters are becoming permanent HC Solo on death instead of SC characters.

[placid plinth]

if it's not on your character sheet, no

[placid plinth]

I'm trying to fix that right now

[calm leaf]

Still stuck at not even being ablet o login. Even after they test i guess?

[little raptor]

Do skills not on your bar even have a cooldown? I ask because when I took the node for casting flame ward when stunned when its off cooldown, and took flame ward off my bar, I very clearly had flame ward activate multiple times in succession ( I didn't have the node for multiple uses either). Cooldowns also seem to start when you put the skill on the bar.

[opaque falcon]

Just for reference, the skill that I was thinking of is Abyssal Echoes when cast by Void Cleave. Appreciate your responses as always and looking forward to trying that dumb build idea with some ICDRS now

[sleek loom]

Let the devs work ppl stop asking questions :D

[orchid topaz]

Its friday night, on patch release day basically, chill daddy

[placid plinth]

[calm leaf]

Wait, what?

[fervent arrow]

Think I must have pressed some button.
The minion portraits/health bars etc in the top left are gone.
Is there a keybind for that?

and sorry if this counts as support will take it elsewhere

[placid plinth]

no, it's a bug

[fervent arrow]

ok rgr that

[zenith raptor]

I had the same problem 1.5h ago, tried to relog but never got back in after that

[calm leaf]

Ok mike, In-game issue. Mastery get selected at a specific story point right?

[placid plinth]

yes ||EoT||

[turbid plover]

Why sometimes monsters have no hp bars on them even if it enabled in options?
And what was the thing when my character went naked for some time (only visually and nickname changed to some type of textual emoji.
Sry for pinging MY BAD!

[placid plinth]

bugs, bugs, bugs

[calm leaf]

So, say one is like lvl 40 before you reach that point, would it be best to save passive points at a certain point so they can be put into mastery?

I mean, it could be? It's not a bug and not support lol. But i get it.

[acoustic atlas]

If a unique item drops from a certain timeline and node or better chance there, would the increase item rarity help for getting that item specifically or all items in that category equally?

[placid plinth]

not necessarily, you can respec them when you get there so you can put the overinvested points in the secondary trees after. saving will cause you to slow down in leveling and you'll get your mastery later

it happens around level 22-25

[placid plinth]

all items proportionally

[acoustic atlas]

Thank you

[calm leaf]

Thanks!

[turbid plover]

Thx for the answer, I hoped it would be just bugs. Also have another one, why do you allowed to allocate skill points into the second passive tree which you not picking up? Yeah I know there's some skills that are somehow worth to pick, but it's seems counter intuitive a bit.

[placid plinth]

you can only go up to the lock line so you can't get the top tier ones

this is for increased build variety and options while still maintaining core identities of each mastery with the really thematically strong skills being above the lock line or as the mastery skill

[turbid plover]

Oh, that's what the lock line was for! Thx! If I remember anything else will ask again 🙂

[nocturne carbon]

Any plans to add a confirmation before allocating skill/passive points? While respeccing is not a big deal, it's incredible frustrating with a missclick

[desert rivet]

could you briefly elaborate from a technical standpoint what the biggest problems with login were on launch date? as a fellow dev im very interested

[placid plinth]

maybe, we tried it once and allocate -> confirm, allocate -> confirm became tiresome

[south chasm]

I already this question in other boards and did not get an answer. Can you please clarify the following. Does Dread Plague in Dread Shade's skill tree spread Spirit Plague upon the targeted minion's death? I am trying to use Dread Shade with Wraiths. And if it does indeed spread it, will it use the skill tree that I have configured?

[placid plinth]

I don't have a ton of info here, I've been trying to get as little info as possible as to let them work. Here is the best line I got yesterday.
"it's the services, not the servers" - smart person that is very busy

[desert rivet]

haha, nice one thank you 🙂

[placid plinth]

please post a picture of the specific node in question, I'm not sure what it does and need exact wording

[south chasm]

Sure

[little raptor]

Do skills not on your bar even have a tracked cooldown? Flame ward on stun seems to ignore cooldown if you avoid putting flame ward on your bar.

[jovial musk]

I remember a few leagues back in POE they were having massive login Q errors, turns out it was a database import that wasn't handled properly during their initial prerun for the league. Was quite an interesting read after the fact

[placid plinth]

well, yes but trigger events don't care about skill cooldowns

[little raptor]

flame ward on stun specifically said it did care iirc but I could double check

[hidden hearth]

oh god I was there for that. That was painful

[jovial musk]

Angrily going to sleep when you made it to A2 after 5 hours was nice

[placid plinth]

sounds like a bug then

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[little raptor]

got it

[full agate]

do the devs / staff have a backdoor to login to the gameservers? or are you just as stuck as we are?

[jovial musk]

Aren't you guys scared of nuking your servers in the future due to some unforeseen interaction?

[south chasm]

This is the skill in question

[placid plinth]

the effect probably has an internal cooldown

[placid plinth]

I'm just as stuck

[topaz zenith]

how much damage is 1 point of intelligence

[placid plinth]

depends on the skill, alt on the tooltip for more info

[hidden hearth]

That connecting screen went away for me after about 10 presses of the button

[placid plinth]

that applies base spirit plague

[warped cairn]

Is the queue showing the correct number or is it decreasing in the backround?

[placid plinth]

decreasing in the background

[warped cairn]

Cheers Mike

[spark jay]

will there be more skill slots than 5 in the future?

[opaque falcon]

that actually worked for me xd

[gleaming lintel]

Is using VPN to get in and then disabling it "bad" or is it ok?

[placid plinth]

no plans at the moment

[placid plinth]

I can't endorse a system which utilizes a VPN to get in. So, no comment.

[tough marsh]

why its not possible to play as a group ? we never can enter new zones

any tricks ? 😄

[tranquil vortex]

are you aware of problem with coop, if playing with a friend you are unable to get to new zones, both me and my friends and many others in the game chat is reporting the same issue

[placid plinth]

there is a problem with the matchmaking servers still, we are working on it

[placid plinth]

there is a problem with the matchmaking servers still, we are working on it

[vapid fossil]

How do both the MP betas go so well and then on MP launch is a total disaster?

[wispy escarp]

So i found a hat on my summoner dude, and it give spell crit chance. does that apply to minions?

[placid plinth]

we surpassed our total users from the stress test in 4 mins

[placid plinth]

only if it has minion crit chance

minions only get minion stats

[vapid fossil]

yeah but you had to know that was going to be the case anyways

[tough marsh]

and 25 fps sometimes 😄

[wispy escarp]

ahhh so minion stuff must specifically say Minion crit, minion damage ect?

[vapid fossil]

will there be some sort of compensation?

[placid plinth]

yea, the problem we encountered yesterday didn't present with such a low player count so we didn't know it existed, this wasn't a server capacity problem

[placid plinth]

yes

[wispy escarp]

awesome! ty!

[zealous lion]

how are dcs handled for hardcore characters in case of game freezes/server crashes?
More specifically: will you be timed out fast?

[placid plinth]

I have no idea. We are still in early access right now. This is still a testing environment.

[placid plinth]

it's fairly quick right now but it's not instant, a quick alt+f4 in a terrible situation will not necessarily save you

[south chasm]

Sorry for asking too many questions. But does this also mean Final Grasp node of the Dread Shade also only apply the base version of Sacrifice? I have attached a screenshot of the node

[unborn coral]

Unique for the tornado SKILL, my guy.

[quasi crown]

if you have say necrotic on hit and you have armor shred, does necrotic do more dmg

[placid plinth]

yes

[pine dome]

Rule of the simoon

[velvet lotus]

when shutdown pc and login tomorrow morning 5am it will work without queue xD

[placid plinth]

yes because armor protects against all hits (more protection for physical damage)

[rapid pond]

@placid plinth please a quest doesnt getting completed and im locked in a place can you help?

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

no, I can't help

Thanks a lot for the help.

[acoustic magnet]

Wandering Spirits is not a minion skill, right?

[placid plinth]

correct, you are revealing spirits that are already there, not summoning them to you

[acoustic magnet]

Thanks Mike

[shell hound]

Does this apply in either way to minions? Or does it have to specifically specify them?

[placid plinth]

minions only get minion stats

[elfin forge]

is there a way to compare your 2nd ring or weapon slot?

[placid plinth]

not yet

[elfin forge]

ok cool thank you!

[feral surge]

Does this node from Frenzy Totem only apply to me, or is it part of the buff / aura and also applies to allies? (the melee damage part)

[hollow quail]

Mike, whats your favorite class and mastery?

[placid plinth]

it adds those stats to the buff it already gives and applies to the same targets

[feral surge]

sweet, thank you ❤️

[placid plinth]

marksman but I'm playing bladedancer right now

[calm pawn]

Are you planing to add trade>

[hollow quail]

Nice! A year back when i bought the game, i played marksman first as well and loved the barrage/multishot shenanigans. Reminded me a bit of poe coc.

[opal sleet]

Is void pen both melee and spell related?

[placid plinth]

void pen applies to all void damage

[orchid topaz]

Does "X% increased elemental damage over time", increase ignites my minions apply?

[placid plinth]

only minion stats apply to minions

[orchid topaz]

10-4 boss

[opal sleet]

the last epoch wiki says : Enemies have +1% Penetration to all elements per level. (up to 75% ?) Does that mean i need (lvl mobs+75) to be capped?

[placid plinth]

this is applied after the cap, you need 75% all res to be capped

in a level 100 zone with 75 all res, enemies are hitting as though you have 0 all res

the game is balanced around this

[opal sleet]

wehat about a lvl 75 zone

[opaque falcon]

uh why is there a "deathless" status on softcore character? If I wanted to sweat over dying I would have played HC. Could you please consider removing this as it just brings unnecessary stress

[placid plinth]

it means that the last few points in resistance are worth the same as the first few

[placid plinth]

same

[median plover]

ok, big problem right now. im in a zone, half my gear slots are suddenly empty, my inventory is empty and when i try to pick up items it tells me theres no space?!

[opal sleet]

so theyy cannot over pen?

[placid plinth]

probably not, if it's a problem, just have an early death to clear it

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[opaque falcon]

Not helpful as the game still obviously tracks deaths

[placid plinth]

they can if you have 0 all res in a lvl 75 zone, they hit as though you have -75 all res

[median plover]

will it be fixed if i relog or restart?

[opaque falcon]

If I wanted the game to track deaths I would have played HC

[opal sleet]

you just said a lvl 100 zone is like ahving zero (wouldnt they be overpenning 25%)

[placid plinth]

I don't know, I'm sorry, I can't help with bugs here

[median plover]

k

[lament brook]

Is there a reason that I cannot abandon quests I picked up during the leveling process I didnt want to complete?

[placid plinth]

thanks for the #368968647114227723

[placid plinth]

it stops at 75

[placid plinth]

we didn't think it was a necessary function to have

[opal sleet]

lets rephrase my question can i go negative res due to status effect or or any other mechanic?

[placid plinth]

yes

[opal sleet]

shred etc?

[placid plinth]

yes

the only reason to overcap res is to account for shred ailments

[lament brook]

Is there a way to hide them from my screen then that is not the carrot? I want to be able to see my monolith quest when I am in one, but every time I am out of a monolith I have a giant log of quests on my screen.

[unborn coral]

You’re not understanding…

[opal sleet]

whats a safish HC overcap amount?

[placid plinth]

no (well, go do the quest)

[opal sleet]

50 ish?

[placid plinth]

generally it's more important to invest in other defensive layers before overcapping, health, 100% crit avoidance and armor

[opal sleet]

aight thx

[quasi crown]

i respeced and skele mages are still fire, but i chose death knights 😦

[placid plinth]

resummon them?

[mighty schooner]

For Firestarter's Torch, it says: +(14% to 26%) Chance to apply a Spreading Flames on Hit. What does on hit mean, all attacks?

spells aswell?

[placid plinth]

all hits. some spells don't hit

[quasi crown]

i did

still fire.. i tried abomb them too

maybe relogging will work

ohhh

[kindred stirrup]

Not sure how holy aura works. Does the Ward giving effects also trigger on summons/companions? For example, a crowd of necromancer skellys?

[quasi crown]

does undead mortars cancel them out

[placid plinth]

yes but they have no display to show that they are getting it

[placid plinth]

not sure, if it says it does

[pure marten]

Hullo, I haven't purchased the game yet, but I stopped playing POE and D3 because I hated re-levelling from 0 during seasons.

[quasi crown]

it doesnt say

[kindred stirrup]

Okay, I was hoping it wasnt just wasted points! Ty 💖

[pure marten]

Season mechanics are great, but relevelling through campaign sucks so bad.

I have wishlisted the game, and am keeping an eye on it, hoping you guys respect player time a little more than the other two.

[placid plinth]

When a new cycle goes live, if you want to compete on the ladders you'll have to relevel from 0. We don't plan to have major content differences between cycle and "standard" though.

[pure marten]

Will you do no ladder seasons?

For casuals like me

[spark jay]

releveling is fine, but remove the forced campaign playthrough in seasons

[placid plinth]

that would just be standard, so yes?

[pure marten]

What I kinda want in an arpg season is losing any post max level bonuses, default gear, and then thrown into the season, with all the features and new gear.

[placid plinth]

only the 1st one needs to do the whole campaign, unless you get a rush

[spark jay]

ahhh okay

thats neat

[orchid topaz]

here i was thinking the new reworked campaign is awesome - i dont mind at all running it through

[placid plinth]

I don't understand, we aren't going to take things away from your characters.

[floral agate]

hello, are the founder packs gone? do i get something in-game if i buy it on steam, equivalent to any of the founders or just the game without anything from the founders? can't find any info on this, ty!

[placid plinth]

steam comes with the default pack of the same value. scroll down slightly on the steam store page for more info

we will be re-launching more supporter packs soon

[floral agate]

thank you for the response!

[ornate aurora]

Hey Mike, cant belive i never caught that before. The Passive "Rune of Winter" and The Frozen Orb Node on the Volcanic Orb Mage Tree seems a bit redundant. Whats the thought behind that?

[placid plinth]

it's partially there to signpost that it is possible to convert it and then give a freeze rate multi boost at the same time.

[pure marten]

I apologise if that unclear. In the hypothetical that I desire for a new season for a max level character, in terms of steps and outcomes:

1. New season is live. 
2. Max level character logs in, is prompted if they want to participate. 
3. If yes, character is migrated to "Season"
3.i. Character talents are reset
3.ii. Character is provided some default gear at common rarity for their class
3.iii. Character starts in post-campaign phase of game
4. Player engages with new Season mechanics/gear

If that is not the vision, no problem

Just checking now

[indigo nacelle]

I want this also

[placid plinth]

how about this instead

2. Max level character logs in
3. Plays the game because it has all the new content.```

[ornate aurora]

gotcha thanks

[pure marten]

Absolutely, it's your game. You make it the way that makes you happy.

[old ivy]

so in a new cycle the standard mode will have all new content? So only if you want to play a fresh economy you do the cycle mode?

[placid plinth]

yea

[orchid topaz]

is there anything in the game that Wont be tradeable when this happens? and if so, what?

[placid plinth]

if you mean once the item factions system is added, yes, any item with a faction rank requirement can't be traded, crafting materials can't be traded

keeping in mind that trading is different from gifting

[orchid topaz]

oh yeah ofcourse - no items in the game currently besides crafting stuff has the "faction rank req" i suppose?

[rugged marsh]

I just realized that you don't get stuck if you leave your party, change map --> then invite your friends again

Maybe this is helpful

[placid plinth]

no items in the game have faction rank requirements yet

[prisma flume]

Do you think I should just make a new character or will the HC Solo glitched characters be recoverable at some point?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't know

[unborn sky]

Most likely this question was asked already, but why did you, guys, remove the Training Dummy from EOT?

[spark jay]

Is it a bug or intended that sometimes maps are partially revealed?

[placid plinth]

bug

[old ivy]

faction rank vaguely reminds me of Grim Dawn's system. I also liked in Grim Dawn that you gained rep. with the enemies to fight tougher monsters. Any thoughts on that?

[placid plinth]

can't use skills in town

[spark jay]

kk

[unborn sky]

Ooohh... Multiplayer thingy. That makes sense. Thanks!

[placid plinth]

I also quite liked Grim Dawn's faction system

[spark jay]

how do I compare a ring with the 2nd ring slot?

[placid plinth]

You can't yet.

(sassy answer: move it to the 1st slot)

[spark jay]

:(

[quasi crown]

hmmm if you bone curse and swap it to necrotic, if your minions hit it does it count as minion dmg, or the curses dmg

[placid plinth]

the curse

[orchid topaz]

If i have Chance to freeze/shock etc on Hit, do my minions apply it or no?

[placid plinth]

only minion stats apply to minions

[spark jay]

BTW: Little hint you might wanna share as information for multiplayer. Porting to your friend for map changes is so far 100% reliable for me and my mate vs. everyone trying to map change themselves

Edit: For map changes, we both try to change and if it works just for one of us, the one where it doesn't works relogs, rejoins party and then just ports to player

[buoyant trail]

If I cast a spell with a travel time, and then use another ability that buffs the stat (+flat spell damage in this case), does the "in-the-air" spell gain that benefit if it has not yet hit an enemy?

Basically what I'm asking is do abilities with travel time that Hit snapshot your stats on projectile creation or on Hit?

[kindred peak]

i keep crashing on char select

[placid plinth]

no, once the spell has been created it isn't changed

#support

[orchid topaz]

Im sure the IG guide can answer this, but im not in game sadly.. Does ignite count as spell/elemental damage? Neither? Both? Or only benefit from damage over time stats?

[hidden hearth]

Why did y'all have to make almost every skill feel so dang good? I make a character with a plan in mind then discover a new skill that feels so good

[placid plinth]

it is elemental, this is a shorthand for fire and cold and lightning

[placid plinth]

because we like torturing people with difficult decisions. You can try tempest strike if you want one that doesn't feel great.

[hidden hearth]

or lunge with current issues 🙂

[placid plinth]

yea rip

[cursive basin]

does flat spell damage make consecrated ground dot stronger?

[placid plinth]

no

[supple obsidian]

Does bleed have a cap? I thought it was 15.

[placid plinth]

technically yes but you won't hit it. it used to have a display cap of 15+

[supple obsidian]

So is there a cap on armor shred?

[placid plinth]

no, here is a good site to look this stuff up on: https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/armour_shred

[rare portal]

Well since travel skills are disabled in town how about a speed buff? guess im curious about the reason for the disable..

[hoary frigate]

If my Golem nova cooldown is 6sec and I equip an idol that gives 30% increased minion cooldown recovery what will be the result cooldown for Golem nova?

[cursive basin]

so the heavenfire node which gives spell damage for equipping a shield does nothing for consecrated ground?

[placid plinth]

all skills are unavailable in towns, this will make more sense in the future

[rare portal]

fair enough 🙂

[supple obsidian]

Thank you

[cursive basin]

if flat spell damage does nothing for consecrated ground, why was it even removed for the judgement gloves?

[placid plinth]

roughly 5s (remember the stat is increased cooldown recovery speed)

[hidden hearth]

Am I correct in assuming Glacier was directly inspired by POE's Glacial Cascade? It's like the same ability but with 100x more OOMPH

[placid plinth]

because I'm probably wrong

[hoary frigate]

I know there's the formula for Incr. cooldown recovery I just don't remember it 😄

[placid plinth]

nope, I remember the initial pitch for that and someone pointed out the similarities after the fact

[placid plinth]

100% is half CD time, 200% is 1/3 CD time

[hidden hearth]

Wow that's crazy then!

[placid plinth]

good luck getting anything to 200%

[spiral ember]

Hello, quick question, is item gifting with resonance already implemented or will it be later with the Factions?

[placid plinth]

item gifting without resonance is in right now, we will add resonance soon. Item factions will probably be after that.

[hoary frigate]

so it is TIME / ICDR% like 6 / 1.3 so it is 4.6 sec not 5

[hidden hearth]

I'll be so happy when Resonance is in 🙂 I missed loot by 3 secs due to long load time

[placid plinth]

yea, was just doing rough brain math without thinking really

[hoary frigate]

0.4 means a lot in the LE world 😄

thanks!

Is the quest "To Shell With It" bugged? I've cleared the entire map and only got 4 Giant Crab Meat after killing probably 20-25 giant crabs, I got the first 4 at a 1:1 ratio

[wispy quiver]

Does Bone Curse (curse that procs on-hit damage) apply spell leech for the caster of the curse, e.g. the Lich passive Survival of the Cruel)?

[patent fossil]

Maybe a silly questions but i saw judd say that if you invide a lower level player into your party their quests get caught up with your progression, my question is im done with the campgain up to the "got all passives and idol slots" part and im in monos

[placid plinth]

no

[patent fossil]

what is going to be like for the low level i invited

[wispy quiver]

Thanks!

[hidden hearth]

oooooh I was just wondering that. My friend couldn't log in last night but I played all day

[placid plinth]

it completes the specific main story quests that are completed in that specific zone only

[hidden hearth]

Not the sidequests then?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure actually

[patent fossil]

so i invite him lets say while im end time his main quests get caught to me but he has to do sidequests anyway ?

im a little bit confused on that

[placid plinth]

it's to keep the main story moving so you still have the quest markers and don't get lost

[inner dirge]

so i have this problem where i was in a coop game and got a new quest from an npc while i hadnt finished the previous one.
now the npc is stuck in this new quest state.
is there some way to abandon quests?

[rain folio]

still stuck in queue, number doesn't change, my friend who's waiting for me has no queue he just logs right in

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[inner dirge]

so i have no way to complete that quest now?

[placid plinth]

it should reset once you get into a fresh version of the zone, alternatively you could probably join someone else have have them complete it as you go through with them and it should catch up.

I'm not sure of the details or best ways to work around this bug

[inner dirge]

jeah relaunching the game was the first thing i tried still have the quests so she still talks about the follow quests. joining someone which is on the first one only could work tho....

[storm crow]

Can you actually get Twisted Heart from a rune of ascendance? Been lucky and got 4 so far lol wondering if I can get that since its a boss drop

oh its like poe. i feel dumb now. thank you

Hi. I'm playing Swarmblade Druid. When I manually enter Swarmblade Form, Swarm Strike is button 4. When I use Werebear Form and enter Swarmblade Form from it using Barrage of the Swarm, Swarm Strike is button 3. This is extremely confusing. Is this intended?

no

Are you guy going to implement an instanced zone system where you can return to a previous zone and dead enemies will still be dead similar to path of exile with the option to reload the zone and spawn in all new foes or are you sticking with the current system.
Also small side question is the current state of the map overlay being partially revealed in all zones intentional?

I know the druid currently has the action bar bug, but I wonder, were we able to move around the transform skills around? (I mean the skill you obtain after transforming) Or Am I imagining things that htis was always static?

If I wanted to farm the random drop of Jelkhor's Blast Knife, would it technically be in a smaller loot pool from a lvl 36 zone? Or does it not work like that

full rng from entire pool regardless level? like lvl 5 char can get level 50 item?

[placid plinth]

that's what I'm hearing. It was supposed to not give you items that you couldn't equip but that's clearly not the case any more

[dark rover]

Btw the new loading screen with Heorot ... amaizng work. 😛

Do you need to be level 25? Because we are and he is 24

[placid plinth]

there is no minimum level requirement to get your mastery

[astral reef]

Mastery trees can be unlocked after spending 20 points in the base class tree and have completed the mastery quest at the start of Chapter 4. Once 20 points have been spent they must press the "Unlock Masteries" button in order to unlock the mastery trees.

Not sure if I should submit this to support, but I'm stuck on journey to Maj'elka. I killed Lagon, then before I got the WP for Chapter 9, I quit the game. Now I can't redo the quest step to get there. If I talk to Yulia, she won't take me on the ship again, so I can't get to the continent. Do I have to just make a new character? Is there any way to fix this?

Yeah it sucks for him because no mastery lol

[oak quail]

Does seem very odd though 🤔 Only other thing I can think is he

1. Never had the quest to speak to the elder
2. Could try leaving the party//relogging and seeing if it updates?

You can possibly fast forward the quest by joining someone on the other side.

plz buff AoD so that it can be main skill

[placid plinth]

Please avoid general comments or discussions in this channel. If you have a game related question for me, I'll be happy to answer it.

[velvet leaf]

Is it intended now that shurikens no longer shotgun when using blade shield + synchronized strike? I tested it before the .9 patch and it was working just fine. Now it's not shotgunning anymore?

[placid plinth]

Sounds like a reasonable change to me. I don't know of anything specific for that.

[rugged valley]

Is there a way to get your minion tracking in the top left to turn back on? randomly turns off making it hard to see if minions have died.

[placid plinth]

restart the game, it's a bug

which comes with queue risks

[rugged valley]

yeah, thats a hard "i'll deal with it" right there haha

[dark rover]

Are there plans to make Spriggan (summon) smarter with it's ensnaring roots? It appears to cast it far out of range towards enemies (mostly cause the default attack range of spirggan is further than the roots themselves)? Or is that intended behaviour?

[tranquil pumice]

Did the loot filter lose its coloring options?

[placid plinth]

no

[tranquil pumice]

Ah, didn't click around enough to find color options

[placid plinth]

each ability has its own rages for various types of actions, some of these ranges might not be set optimally for that ability

[gaunt hamlet]

hey, i have a problem with area loading, it take A LOT of time and seems to download (from 40ms to 3500+ on discord on loading area)
I ddnt have a fiber internet, its horrible to wait more than 30 sec for only one area

this is intended ?

[placid plinth]

This long of a wait is not intended. It is primarily just waiting for the matchmaking server, not actually downloading stuff most of the time. We are working to fix these issues still.

[gaunt hamlet]

okey thanks for the fast answer, good luck on fixing all stuff !

[ornate aurora]

If i convert Lightning Blast to Cold does the Arcane Current Passive still trigger?

[placid plinth]

post a screenshot of that node?

[inner dirge]

just comeing back to confirm being present while someone else completes the quest is a valid workaround.
took nearly 2 hours tho to find somebody willing to helpp

[placid plinth]

if you convert lightning blast to cold, it is no longer a lightning skill

[velvet leaf]

I'm very confused... in the .9 trailer you guys said poison ailment was getting a buff? I'm now hitting like 40k, before patch I was hitting over 200k poison ticks..... I even sat on a dummy and I can't break like 50k a tick
Seems you guys GIGA nerfed tf outta poison... not sure if its bugged or that's what you guys wanted but this makes poison builds unplayable

[placid plinth]

the change I see is 20 -> 28 base damage

[velvet leaf]

Yea I looked over the patch notes as well. All I can say is that I tested my dmg on the target dummy before patch. I barely even touched it. Now? I went and stacked over 450 poisons and im dealing less than 40% of my dmg.

[fossil dune]

Because you don't infinitely shred resistance anymore

[placid plinth]

ok, thanks for the #368968647114227723

[gaunt comet]

Glacier description is confusing

is there a difference between ADDED damage and added spell damage

[velvet leaf]

This was the only nerf I saw, but wow it killed my build. I'm not gonna bother playing poison and have under 30% of my original damage

[gaunt comet]

the text mensions x1, x2 and x4 added damage effectivness and then gives 100, 175 and 350 for added SPELL damage effectivness? is this a typo i need to report?

[placid plinth]

ignore the 1st paragraph

[ornate aurora]

thats kinda unintuitive, when i have spent skillpoints earlier in the tree i can make those points basicly useless. i know i can respec it but still

[placid plinth]

thanks for the #368968647114227723

[wanton cradle]

I think Surge has some issue. Sometimes after I surge I cannot move.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, does this node in Void Cleave work with the Ravaging Aura? I still confused about when more dmg applies or not? And is the area of the aura increased too?

[unique elm]

got dc'd playing online and the game rolled me back like 2 hours of gameplay, lost a blessing, unique boss drop and all my crafting for my new build. what can i do write a support ticket?

[placid plinth]

I don't think support will be able to help you with that. I don't know though, this is only the 3rd time I've heard of this so I don't know if we have a standard procedure in place.

[unique elm]

shitty situation, why should i keep playing if it could happen at any time, ty

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry it happened. These are still very early days of multiplayer and we are going through some growing pains. This sort of problem is what we are working to alleviate through these pre 1.0 releases.

[ember sleet]

hello all, is it normal that during party play, it take ages to transition from one map to another?

[hoary maple]

Just logged in since last night and I've gone from level 34 to level 5. Is there any incentive to providing game files at this point? I don't mind re-leveling it just wondering if it would be expected to happen again or if I should play offline for now.

[placid plinth]

We are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it.

[placid plinth]

It appears to be a relatively rare event but as the 4th report of this that I've seen (3rd just above) I don't have any details about what's causing it or anything else yet. The relevant information is likely on the servers but a bug report is always appreciated whenever you encounter a bug.

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[hidden hearth]

Mike, is https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us the right link to submit bug report if we can't log in to the forums? (I already reported that issue, they said it was related to the server issues)

[lucid prairie]

FYI if you keep the client logged in for a long time and then use abilities like Transplant there's clear desync going on. Your char stutters and gets teleported back a few yards. Restarting the client is the only fix. Which is why I am now in a queue that went from position 21 to 376 randomly.

[placid plinth]

no, don't send bug reports to #support

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[lucid prairie]

OK sorry.

[rich sparrow]

Is Last Epoch 2D or 3D? Im just curious how you guys handle stuff like projectiles that fly over enemies or areas like this with the stairs. Most Isometric ARPGs are 2D and sorta cheat to do 3D so im kinda curious how Last Epoch works.

especially because theres that big staircase in the library early on that has other players get smaller as they get 'further' away

[placid plinth]

it's 3D

[wet trout]

I am having a hard time with a Throwing build, seems like some really cool skills behind it but I cant quite figure out how to build my damage up, Havent seen any weapons with throwing damage, Am I missing something? Was thinking I just had to level more maybe?

[placid plinth]

there are no weapons with flat added throwing damage, there are some gloves and rings with good throwing stats you can keep an eye out for though

there are also some really good sentinel idols that help a lot if you're that class

[gritty parrot]

For legendary crafting, for a 2H weapon does it have to be the same type (e.g. axe) or just any 2h?

[placid plinth]

2H axe is a different base type than 2H sword or 2H mace or 2H spear

[wet trout]

Is there any plans to add more support for throwing skills, seems between Javelin, Throwing Hammer and Shield throw would be a really fun way to play

[placid plinth]

all of those are very viable and good skills

[wet trout]

ok Thanks, I just need to figure it out then, sounds good !

[final cave]

I'm at work on a Saturday running our Prod release and we're just about to start validation. Sending my love to the whole EHG team. Keep kicking ass 🙂

[pine dome]

Does this node from abyssal echoes add more dmg to the Ravaging Aura from Void Cleave?

[placid plinth]

no, conditional effects are not passed down

[kindred stirrup]

What happens when one member of a party dies in a dungeon? Are they not allowed back in?

[tawdry pebble]

Are there any plans to add some sort of alternative leveling path for alternate characters? The campaign is good but having to go through it each time you want to try something new seems rough.

[placid plinth]

drawing a blank, I think they are up until the boss fight?

[turbid otter]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[placid plinth]

we probably won't add a second alternative leveling path but we will expand on the one we already have by adding more dungeons.

[placid plinth]

We are aware that some players are having some specific issues, please be patient as we work to resolve them. Do not post support requests or bug reports here.

[kindred stirrup]

Our member got sent back to a town on death, and can't reenter. is that not supposed to happen?

[placid plinth]

that might be right

[tawdry pebble]

Oh wait there already is one?

[placid plinth]

yes, dungeons skip large portions of the campaign

you can also just portal to someone else who is really far in

[shell hound]

Is lvl 20 the max-max skill level? Or can + skill items increase them past 20?

[tawdry pebble]

Ahh must be new since I last played ty

[placid plinth]

20 is the max base skill level, you can have +skill gear that gets it up higher, I think the mechanical max (just because of what is available) is 28?

[placid plinth]

little over a year and a half

[light matrix]

Ah.

[light matrix]

Oh, that is interesting...

[shell hound]

am I bugged?

[wet trout]

I am stuck at 420, is this on purpose, are you trying to tell me something?

[placid plinth]

looks like maybe?

[quick python]

Are there any exclusive transmogs/pets or unique things that players can only earn in the beta?

[placid plinth]

yes

go back far enough and there was stuff from the alpha and pre-alpha too

[remote dew]

So my que went from 3800 to 2100 and now its 4120 what happened?

I havent left the game either

just been sitting on this screen

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have any information on the status of the queues at all. I'm getting the same info from #news

[remote dew]

No worries then didnt know if this had happened to anyone else

[placid plinth]

(scroll up slightly to see 😦 )

[balmy tulip]

I've been #0 for a while. Kind of hurtful.

[tawdry pebble]

Yea I was stuck at 0 for like 20 minutes Speedie before giving up and trying to reconnect lol

[light matrix]

Has the campaign been finished? The last story beat I recall when I played was ||the encounter with the Emperor, who I still think is actually the player from the future.||

[remote dew]

Ouch bro, did it reset your status in the que?

[placid plinth]

there ya go, more info

[placid plinth]

it's not finished but it goes past that event

[tawdry pebble]

Yep now I'm at 170... just dropped to 95

and now 0 again...

[placid plinth]

please don't update me on queue statuses

I know it's frustrating but I can't do anything about it

[tawdry pebble]

Oh sorry was meant for Speedie

Hi - is there a know issue regarding new online characters skipping the ruined era intro quests? Couldn't find anything in the forum about that.

my new go-to copy pasta

[rigid cedar]

What does this passive mean, exactly? Is it "you get a global buff for 3 seconds which makes you earn 3 charges for Static on each crit (including non-Static hits)", or is it "your Statics in the next 3 seconds also give charges if they crit"?

[primal cradle]

I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature, but i'm able to travel with transplant (acolyte) to my cursor location, regardless where it is, even if its on my second monitor. 🤣

[placid plinth]

depends who you ask

I say bug but I got overruled

[primal cradle]

As long as you know about it, couse i'm blinking two screens whenever i blink to my right.

[rare saffron]

figured you were too busy fighting here in the trenches to see the post since it is very new

[placid plinth]

when you discharge static (activate and expend the charges), for the next 3 seconds, whenever you critically hit an enemy you gain 3 charges

[chilly mica]

will you publish a post-mortem after all this?

Are you happy with current class balance or are there any outliers to be looked at?

[scarlet flume]

Hey Mike, I am running a bone golem build and I am having an issue on the emperor of corpses boss fight (lvl 85 timeline final boss). Arena space is rly important to be able to dodge the ground stuff but my golems keep pushing the boss model to the edge of it making me lose potions that spawn behind the boss. Even when i reposition the boss to the middle of the arena while controling my minions, the moment the golems are back on the boss they push it to the edge again and I end up dying to aoe clutter cause i effectively have like 1/3 to work with. I could drop golems but i have my whole build around this legendary. Is it normal for golems to be pushing boss models?

[placid plinth]

yes but not intended

[scarlet flume]

Rip to my big chilly bois, ty for the reply

[fringe scaffold]

If I remove a minion from my skill bar (but don't unspec it), does my abomination still get the benefits from eating them? As long as they were on the bar when he was created.

Also, do minions update when you add new skill points, or do they need to be resummoned?

[placid plinth]

until we get it fixed, yes. no, yes

[rich sparrow]

What is the purpose of the queue currently? Is it preventing some kind of crash due to a bottleneck you guys are planning to solve? Is it holding players until new servers are spun up? What exactly results in the queues?

not upset - just truly curious

[placid plinth]

I don't have the fine details of why it's there or exactly how it determines what to do. I think it's basically slowing the rate of entry to not overwhelm the next steps at this point.

[rich sparrow]

gotcha - so it is probably there due to some sort of bottleneck so that the stuff doesnt explode which means it will likely get better as new code is written and such. Thanks!

[dapper jacinth]

given the server issues, are there any plans to move back the deadline of this event?

[upper hinge]

Is it normal that im Hardcore Solo after dying in Hardcore?

[ruby rose]

From the prospective patch notes "Hardcore characters dying causes their character type to be listed incorrectly in multiple places"

[clear socket]

Are the queues moving or are they stuck?

[placid plinth]

Queue numbers don't move, queues do.

[sleek citrus]

I've been in queue for 20+ minutes and it finally just updated my number for the first time.

[molten matrix]

Hello, I am wondering if maybe I am doing this incorrectly but in werebear tree, I am using the Skull Crusher node (Fury Leap tree benefits Maul) and Fury Leap node Frenzied Onslaught (gives Frenzy upon landing) but I do not appear to receive the Frenzy buff when I use Maul. Any idea why?

[faint yarrow]

In the 0.9 launch update and upcoming hotfixes Judd mentioned "Adding Limited attempt mechanic to Monolith Timeline bosses" does this mean portals like in poe for example or what does this mean?

[slate grove]

should +physical % be affecting warpath if its been converted to fire base? the tool tip dmg increases with physical dmg modifiers so i dont know if the tool tip is false or its actually increasing its damage

[placid plinth]

That's the style of thing that I think it means but I suspect that it's more like group attempts instead of portals.

[placid plinth]

if you have any sources of say bleed, it would affect the tooltip

[slate grove]

i was testing with a basic belt with no other damage stats on it except physical% . the physical% gave me significantly higher tool tip than the fire% belt i have

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure that there already is one, the timer is just really long.

[mint valve]

I was afk for 2 hours and didnt get booted

but then my computer blue screened from a service exception, and that's probably from the really bad memory leak the game has the longer it runs

Y’all hiring? 🙂

Some open positions there.

[median aurora]

On a more serious note why did EHG decide to go with unity as the engine for the game ?

[wheat flame]

No comp ranges? 😦

[placid plinth]

I guess not? I just checked one now and it doesn't look like it.

[south cedar]

Hope you took some good rest, Mike

[placid plinth]

A lot of that had to do with accessibility and resources in the early days. Why did we stick with it? A lot had to do with the experience of the people working on the project being so heavily skewed to Unity and it was working well for us, still is.

How to open imgui dev console

[median aurora]

I also guess if you wanted to change to another engine it would be a start from scratch kind of thing ?

[placid plinth]

Some things can be carried over and you can write conversion scripts but chances of that being clean are very low. By the time that was an option or even consideration, we didn't have any good reasons to and the overhead would have been too much.

[placid plinth]

no idea

[clear glade]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the right place to ask, so please feel free to redirect me, but how would I go about getting a Discord role for my early support of the game?

[wheat flame]

not-support

[final cave]

Out of interest (as somebody with a lot of tech experience but not in game dev), is upgrading Unity engine versions similarly painful?

[placid plinth]

There is a but that causes players to be placed in the wrong servers sometimes, we are working to fix it. In the meantime I don't have any advice.

[placid plinth]

If you were part of the kickstarter campaign, you can probably still get a role by contacting #support from the same email.

[clear glade]

Thanks Mike :)

[placid plinth]

Some parts of it are a breeze but then you get that one package that isn't compatible and all of a sudden you're looking for a replacement or rewriting it yourself and then all the things that it's tied into are having issues and when that's done it finally starts to compile, only to realize that 3 other packages are also having problems with the changes you just made because you also changed those ones to work together and then....

[silver tree]

hey there, saw the copy pasta from above about the servers timing out when the queue is over. Said something about disabling the queues all together. Has that happened yet?

[desert sand]

What's the weirdest thing you've ever developed, just to see if you could, Mike? Not even pet-project level, but just a weird chunk of code you couldn't let go of?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, I think it will be pretty obvious in game when it does, might get a #news update when we see it.

[silver tree]

Ok, thanks, been sitting in queue for hours now. Starting to think its not normal

[placid plinth]

only thing that comes to mind is crafting simulations with intentional poor choices to see what it's like in the wild

[final cave]

That sounds basically the same a enterprise tech - we are planning some UI upgrades at the moment where the new framework has "bridging" components which are very underwhelming - I feel your pain 😄 Thanks for the answer 🙂 (edit: yes, I'm still at work too -- home time sooooooooon for both of us hopefully :))

[wheat flame]

Oh interesting. Using PlayFab for login/queue. How's that been going? 😛

[placid plinth]

Actually good, that's not what's been falling apart.

[desert sand]

Hah - that's a fun one I'd never thought about. Just have to test what worst-possible-outcome could be, too, right. . .
I accidentally created a worm, at my current job - set up a script that would run once a day, email itself to the next server in the chain, and repeat until the whole deployment was running and checking if everything else had it. (used for making sure their backups were present and valid, nothing malicious) but then someone pointed out that I'd basically made a virus that we wanted on all of our servers...

Took almost two weeks to find all of them and remove them 🤣

[unique willow]

Lemme guess.. load balancers?

[placid plinth]

"it's the services, not the servers" - smart person that is very busy

that was from yesterday

[dense blade]

is druid transform from bear to spriggan consider as "leaving transformed stated" and making class passive 70% dmg reduction for 2s apply ?

[wheat flame]

always dns

[unique willow]

Has anyone had luck getting past #0 in queue, or once you hit it you're done for the night?

[wheat flame]

Just update and you're in

[unique willow]

update what?

[wheat flame]

The game

Also, not-support

[unique willow]

Oh snap, Steam wasn't telling me there was a pending patch while the game was open

[unique willow]

You just supported me.. ;P

[wheat flame]

I read for you, there's a difference 🙂

[placid plinth]

pretty sure it is

[mystic musk]

I'd be interested to know if the constant restart spam that people (myself included) were doing to dodge the broken queue was exacerbating any issues

[placid plinth]

there we go in #news

[placid plinth]

it wasn't helping but we understand that there is no way we could have reasonably expected anyone to listen, even if we had asked people to stop

[near juniper]

so, the current bypass will skip over the queue. Anything we should be wary of? or will this be fine?

[bleak vector]

Is there supposed to be a cap on chat length in-game? I pasted some text from the forums, and it wouldn't let me add more text after, but by returning to the beginning of the message, I was able to type significantly more.

[placid plinth]

We expect this to be the best version so far.

[near juniper]

oh, cool. ty

[placid plinth]

yes, sounds like a bug

!bug

[fiery lily]

To make sure a bug gets fixed, please post about it here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports.

[bold wedge]

Is there a timeline of when factions will be implemented to trading?

[crystal schooner]

Where might one find a list of documented TCP/UPD ports required to play the game? Can't find it on the support page.

So far I have discovered: UDP/8177, 8277, 8377, 8477, 8577, 7777, 7977, 7877, but based on this trend I suspect there are a LOT more and these are not easily grouped into a port range.

[wheat flame]

UPNP disabled?

[crystal schooner]

More of a serious home network here with a default deny policy.

[placid plinth]

Not yuet

[crystal schooner]

Most corporate firewalls do not support UPNP

[wheat flame]

/shrug Works on unify

[placid plinth]

I don't have a list, you can open a #support ticket and someone might be able to find it for you.

[crystal schooner]

Thanks Mike, already did that.

[placid plinth]

ok then all there is to do is wait for a reply

[desert sand]

Alright - updates validated, able to log in to my favorite game - time for sleep so I don't make a bunch of mistakes tomorrow morning. G'night EHG, and happy Friday

[rich sparrow]

whats with these pylons in the ancient era and why do they animate when you get close? Are they just supposed to look cool? Do they hide an easter egg? Do we need to construct more of them?

[crystal schooner]

Appreciate your time mike. I'm online and playing now after a bit of troubleshooting and watching firewall logs. I see this kind of stuff a lot with network connectivity in game development. Server access ports are all over the place and in non-contiguous ranges. It makes it really hard to open up outbound access without inadvertently allowing more access than is needed.

[placid plinth]

[placid plinth]

Yea I get it, I used to manage a few networks for small and medium sized local businesses.

[rich sparrow]

Cow Level?

[placid plinth]

I thought there was no cow level?

[velvet violet]

yeah i just installed game on my 17° laptop (playing on ultrawide monitor before) ..game isnt playable/enjoyable on laptops as with 1920x1080 resolution u can't see further than 2meters 😦

[placid plinth]

Please avoid general comments or discussions in this channel. If you have a game related question for me, I'll be happy to answer it.

[velvet violet]

my general question (which i was looking up) are there any plans to implement a zoom function (for those not playing on UW) ?

[severe vortex]

How do developers feel about just letting players choose the server they want to play on instead of automatic server selection?

[placid plinth]

We are very happy with the current max zoom level.

[placid plinth]

We are still deciding if we want to do that or not. There are some serious upsides in allowing players to fix their own problems. There are potential issues with giving players the tools to force a bad play experience.

The screenshot that person linked looks to be bugged to me but it's very difficult to tell.

[velvet violet]

i cant even see a complete pack of enemy while playing on a map. nor can see a full "big boss" ..have u also tested view on 17° or even 15° laptops? at least i get problems with my eyes when trying to play like this

[median aurora]

Are there any plans to make getting to end game faster sort of like how diablo 3 has bounties and stuff

[placid plinth]

yea, that's bugged.
this is more what it should look like
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid plinth]

We don't plan to add a second system on top of dungeons at this time. But we do plan on expanding the number of dungeons.

[median aurora]

dungeons are endgame content yeah ?

[placid plinth]

and campaign skips

each one jumps about 2-3 chapters

[median aurora]

ooh that would be good I hate in PoE how you have to do the story every single season

[placid plinth]

Well, you can't find keys to a dungeon until you are past that dungeon so you still have to do 1 for the time being.

[velvet violet]

ah ok cheers. hopefully this can get fixed. ty for the fast reply 🙂 ... was a bit shocked to be honest, when i first read ur msg "we are happy with current resolution " 😄 ... btw do you know mike if users can fix this bug or if "you" have to adress it? kind regards

[placid plinth]

yesterday was the first time I've seen it. I'm not sure what's going on. It looks like the zoom functionality is just stuck because the UI looks like it's probably the right scale

[snow goblet]

Hey Mike, I have a few questions based around this warcry node:

1. I'm assuming this is actually meant to say Eterra's Blessing and it makes me curious if you still gain the increased healing on minions?
2. What exactly does the game consider an "Ally"?
3. If the first question's assumption is correct, does the increased healing also apply to other players minions?

[placid plinth]

maybe change the number of lines your wheel scrolls by? (up or down)

[opaque falcon]

Do you guys have any plans to add skills to mage or even another class or new archetype that focuses on Water(Not Ice) type spells? So basically stuff like Rainstorms, Geysers, Waves or Water Balls etc?

[placid plinth]

Breath of Eterra is probably another node on the tree.
Allies have green health bars
yes

[raw flicker]

We haven't run into this screen zoom bug internally, so we don't really have any advice to give on it yet. Bug report helps but it would probably be a pretty involved debug process

[snow goblet]

Oh yeah I'm dumb it's the preceding node, but the allied distinction was still relevant because PoE draws the line between allies and party members

[placid plinth]

We do have plans to add more skills and masteries to mage.
We probably will keep most water magic effects more on shaman and druid for now though.

[cobalt yoke]

I am connecting to EU West, But I am from SEA which caused high ping and lag. Any way to manually choose server location

[placid plinth]

and technically the "green health bar" distinction is wrong because you can have neutral (friendly) npc's that don't count. But all actors (things that can attack and die) with green health bars are allies. Oh crap actually there are 2 exceptions to this I think in the campaign.
