Someone has to say these things too, boot licking doesn’t get you progress

And imo, what one calls fine another dislikes- in this instance this is clearly a downgrade that they did and am sure many agree! Keep laughing at my ´audacity’ all you want and you keep white knighting

This is now a 'discussion' so if you want to continue it please take it to #💬┃general, thank you!

[pine chasm]

All things in this game are 'snapshotted' at the moment they are cast. Only certain things update afterward (some special cases for minions, and of course anything explicitly stated).

[strange tusk]

Just to double-check: does Skeletal Mage's Sacrifice node utilize the owner's Sacrifice tree or is it its own thing?

[teal trail]

it's own thing

[strange tusk]

Understood, thanks.

[hoary maple]

Hi! It was recently brought up in a thread that we are limited to 20 online characters at a time. Are there plans to increase this limit, or provide payment options to increase slots? (I have no proof that the limit is currently 20 so I may be wrong about that)

[spare hawk]

Hi Mike. You talked about set items that didn't have to have an LP but would have their own system. Will they have them in 1.0? (or before)

[placid plinth]

The current online limit is 20. The way it is set up, I think it is very feasible to increase the limit. I'm not sure if that will change or not. If we do increase that limit, it won't be a pay for feature but rather just the same for everyone.

[placid plinth]

Not only do they not have to have an LP integration but they have to not have an LP integration.

The aforementioned set system updates do not have a set date yet.

[supple yew]

Hi I would like to ask is there an Eta or any info on when the faction system for trading stuff is gonna be released or if will not be released until 1.0? Thanks for answer in advance

[placid plinth]

We haven't announced this detail yet. I think that the most likely thing will be at 1.0 but this is really not set in stone yet at all.

[rare thicket]

Thank you for the quick answer

[candid fox]

Hey Mike. Is there any chance to keep original fonts in RU localization?

[placid plinth]

sorry, I don't understand the question

[opaque falcon]

this faction system will be tested live before "leagues/season" start? or it will just start at same time

[placid plinth]

With what a cycle (league/season) is, I would argue that it has already started, so after?

[candid fox]

Well, right now some of the fonts look awful in RU localization, like in the Headers and Buttons. Is it possible to keep the original font?

[placid plinth]

I'm having a tough time with original, this is the original font.

[opaque falcon]

cycles (3 month resets) will start before faction? I really thought it would start only after or at same time of factions

[placid plinth]

I was saying that there could be an argument made for them having already started, not will start.

[opaque falcon]

got it, btw, I think this game will grow like +200% playerbase after this faction thing ❤️

[candid fox]

Oh, you're right. Well it looks weird in Headers and Buttons, because the inscriptions are written in lower case letters, whereas in the original they are in uppercase letters. The inscriptions of checkboxes are fine.

[junior lintel]

Can Glyph of Despair hit a critical success just like any other crafting option? I would imagine so. I also figure Runes don't ever hit critical successes.

[teal trail]

i've had it happen

[junior lintel]

So it didn't consume FP and also upgraded a random Affix?

[teal trail]

yes

[fallen fable]

are you guys still working on memory leaks etc? when i first fire up last epoch this is it memory usage. after about 2hrs of running nothing but echoes memory usage is up to this. which doesn't seem like a lot but once it gets this high my system crashes the game due to low memory. this is with 32gb ddr4 and a 15gb page file. when game crashes im down to like 200mb of useable ram. only happens with last epoch.

[placid plinth]

Yes, however what you are seeing is crazy dramatically mega higher than anything we can come remotely close to replicating.

[fallen fable]

hmmm wonder if something else is causing the issue in general..... ill try turning everything off but discord and last epoch. and report my findings.

[placid plinth]

[pearl robin]

is 75% resistance the cap for enemy mobs and does my penetration only effect damage and never status effects?

[zenith obsidian]

Hi devs! Anyone know if the Spriggan summoned from Friend of the Forest in the Spriggan Form tree also grant additional benefits from the Spriggan skill tree (increased spell damage, dodge rating...etc)? Would it stack with a regular spriggan companion?

[placid plinth]

I don't think enemy mobs actually have a resistance cap. However, they very rarely have any so it doesn't come into play. Only enemies which explicitly state that they are resistant to some specific element under their health bar actually have any.

Your penetration affects all damage you deal of that element, regardless of where it comes from. Important to note that you are not your minions so it doesn't affect them. Only minion stats affect minions.

[placid plinth]

It's exactly the same as your normal spriggan.

The game couldn't tell them apart if it wanted to.

[zenith obsidian]

Lol OK thanks Mike. If I were to have two spriggans out then, would their auras and benefits stack?

[copper dove]

Can you ask any dev anything in here? If so,
@raw flicker why do you hacka din lök when dicing the lök is tveklöst superior?

[placid plinth]

Overlapping similar auras don't fully stack. Technically, 2 auras of the same type alternate any stats which are similar and stack any stats which are different. This is mostly just important for overlapping Holy Auras because they can be specialized so differently.

Because they are both the same spriggan and have the same aura, they don't stack at all.

[zenith obsidian]

OK thank you!

[exotic gazelle]

Please don't ping developers

[vestal reef]

Will the Warrior's Entrance tree synergy with Skull Crusher be addressed eventually?

[pearl robin]

Thanks @placid plinth

[strange tusk]

Is the localization used on the screencap above the official one?

[pine chasm]

Of course they plan to fix all bugs they can find

[azure ridge]

Is there any consideration for making the duration of totems higher? It's just a needless nuisance having the duration so low, especially with so few ways of increasing the duration.

[placid plinth]

That is a screenshot taken from a very brief video that was posted to chat in the last livestream. It is an extremely early prototype localization test clip. I actually had no idea that was even functional until I saw it in Aaron's recap video for the stream.

[placid plinth]

nothing specific but if you'd like us to consider it, please leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see in that thread or on the forums.

[azure ridge]

Thank you, I will do that.

[strange tusk]

I could help out if any help is wanted/needed.

[placid plinth]

There is a coordinated firm which specializes in video game localization handing the translation efforts.

[strange tusk]

Actually, does the primary font used in the game for controls like the lines in Settings have cyrillic glyphs in them?

[placid plinth]

No

[strange tusk]

Thanks for confirming my hunch. 👍 ||By the way, the first checkbox is a bit too long there, could be shortened to something like "Сокращать дистанцию для ближнего боя, если необходимо".||

[opaque falcon]

Just for clarity, debuffs like shred applied after cast should still apply since this is done in dam calculation and don't actually change the iteration of the skill, correct?

[slender plover]

does cooldown or cast speed affect how often the healing totem heals?

[placid plinth]

both, about the same I think actually. (minion versions do anyways)

[slender plover]

mostly talking about totem cast speed totem cooldown

but I mainly need to know what one is more important, if it has a cooldown then thats what i want to obviously build around

but if its just a delay based on cast speed then thats what i want to build

so what does the heal skill it uses do?

[placid plinth]

The total cast time is 0.75s, the cooldown is 1s.
It heals for 100
https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/healing_totem

[slender plover]

awesome thanks^^

[placid plinth]

because of how cooldown recovery works, you're looking at cast speed being very slightly more efficient overall.

[slender plover]

yeah thats what i was thinking

great^^

[strange tusk]

Would stacking totem cast speed push Totemic Heart Warcry to 5 pulses?

[pine chasm]

Yes, things that affect damage taken are applied/calculated at the time the damage is dealt

[hollow badge]

it it my 200% attack speed that is crashing LE?

[desert cipher]

How does static not count as a elemental spell for abyssal rite stacks from Sacrifical embrace?
Lightning, spell is it do to the instant cast?

feel a bit scammed~~ 😉

[placid plinth]

Are you triggering it automatically?

[desert cipher]

Yes

It seems like instant casts makes it not active

flame ward shield works the same

but it works on for example ice barrage

[placid plinth]

Triggered abilities don't work with those gloves.

[desert cipher]

[fiery lily]

so instant casts abilitys are suppose to trigger it then?

Will try it with channel abilitys aswell and then make the post (Y)

[limber palm]

just wondering if the visuals are right or if this will be updated in the future to look like the gear in the slots

[vestal reef]

Sweet, I hope they also enhance the trees to allow for other elemental type builds...atm some builds synergy is waaay superior :(, I'm not sure if there is meant to be a preference in build diversity

[obtuse river]

Should the Alluvian wave (cold spell) proc the Gaspar's decimate (on cold spell)?

[pine chasm]

No, you have to directly cast a cold spell

[obtuse river]

Would be lovely if there were clearer language about that, unless it is and I'm missing something?

Rule of The Simoon gloves work on a Non Primalist?

[vestal reef]

Whats this lol?

[short elbow]

The best bug

[livid sandal]

if hungering souls applies damned, say via idols or isadora set or something, does that damage over time increase from this node apply to the damned as well?

[candid fox]

I suppose the primary font is a custom made. Looks like Forum font used in RU localization instead.

[dense dagger]

Yes

[dense dagger]

"you cast" means it's not a proc

Edit: on the decimate part. You have to cast the spell that procs decimate.

[livid sandal]

thank you!

[strange tusk]

Skill in question: Infernal Shade. Question: do these nodes interact? If so, does Baneful only apply to Shade-inflicted bleeds, or is it global (i.e. minion-inflicted bleeds benefit too)?

[rich vigil]

How are the enemy types determined for echos? Is it fully random, or based on the zone type or some other kinds of factors?

[teal trail]

Yes

[teal trail]

Blood shade only converts ignite chance so Baneful will still give you ignite penetration

Baneful clearly states it only works on ignites inflicted by infernal shade

Nodes usually don't make other skills stronger unless the explicitly give your character a buff or say the bonus is "Global"

[strange tusk]

Noted, thanks.

[flint bloom]

There is a pool that it pulls from depending on level and timeline. generally speaking it will match the boss of that timeline. abom will have lots of necro, rahyeh will have lots of void/fire. etc. i believe tunklab for lastepoch has where/what spawns in each timeline

[visual oriole]

is judgement aura affected by this passive node? it says "applies to all damage dealt by the melee attack, not just the melee damage of the initial hit"

[ocean sorrel]

probably, they have been constantly updating the models for gear

[visual oriole]

imho, that design is better for my finger health

about most arpg, well all I can say is that they give zero eff about player's finger health

but in the past you could assign LMB to use a skill of your choice tho, not sure why it's removed in this patch

[ocean sorrel]

in poe, you can put some buff skills or whatever on your move button so you move and constantly cast that ability and it doesn't impede anything, would be cool if that was a thing here too since this game is also fine with numpad autocasting

[frail sentinel]

@proper zinc @visual oriole @ocean sorrel That counts as discussion so please move it to #💬┃general, thank you!

[valid marlin]

[opal oak]

Hi Mike, I know its a 3rd party tool, but may be u still know what it is about, what does effective level for LP means?
or in other words how can I increase my chances of obtaining higher LP?

[placid plinth]

That item rolls LP as though it was a lvl 100 item.

Items have an inverse relationship between level and LP probability.

So an item with a low effective level for LP will get more LP on average than an item with high effective level for LP.

There are 2 ways you can increase your chances of getting an item with LP.

1. Play in higher level zones. 100 is the max so if you're in empowered monoliths, this doesn't matter as it's all lvl 100.

2. Get more unique items to drop so you have more rolls of the dice.

[obtuse river]

Does this mean that each time I hit my freeze rate is increased by that amount PER chill stack on the enemy that I (or anyone) has put on them?

[placid plinth]

yes

[open radish]

Hi, does “fire penetration with ignite” only applies to ignite dmg? Or also to other sources of fire damage?

[placid plinth]

only with ignite

[open radish]

Thx!

[golden mortar]

Has Fragment of the Enigma been corrected to +2 spell damage per intelligence, or is it still scaling on mana?

[distant coyote]

Do blessings that increase unique drops and other item type specific drop rate blessings affect boss drops?

Saw a post that was apparently made a year ago that claims they didn't but that the intention is that they will and I'm curious if they do now.

[opaque falcon]

Are there any customer service phone lines? Or some other way to reach CS other than through my support ticket?

Busta or transformative data management and investment intelligence solutions to the global investment community?

[hollow badge]

Whenever I finish an echo it stutters and the program stops responding...I wait until it responds and I come back dead. Every time, happens more when I'm attacking my melee speed is at 200% and that also causes the program to not respond. Any workaround? I have 2070super with 32 gigs of ram and playing on the lowest settings already

[teal trail]

Are you having problems on other characters?

[cunning nova]

Is Fire pen converted to Lightning pen with "Downfall" staff?

[teal trail]

No

[cunning nova]

I appreciate the response. Do you have a source?

[boreal sand]

hello, rapid detonation and mana arrow dont coincide with one another. there is also nothing mentioned in tooltip

[teal trail]

Damage conversions only convert damage unless they say otherwise so it shouldn't affect craterborn

All other damage conversions work that way

So why would the staff be different?

[cunning nova]

Because this is a game still in Beta and they are still flushing out tool tips and working on clarity.
Also, many other skills SAY they convert other effect to the new damage type. Such as :

[hollow badge]

I didn't want to make a new character yet because Everything gets broken to the point of freezing past 200 corruption. i love the game, just sayin.

[flint bloom]

The staff states it only converts base damage. Fire pen is not base damage.

[teal trail]

if you have the same issues on another character it might be not related to your rate of attack and something else

thats why i suggested it

[limber drift]

Discussion should be in another channel everyone. Mike can't answer questions if he can't find them

[hollow badge]

Oh that's a really good point, it only seems to happen when a lot is going on; on the screen.

[cunning nova]

Thank you for pointing this out. But this still leaves the question that a Dev would need to reply on.
Is this intended to CHANGE the skill to Lightning Pen or is the craterborn buff only intended to provide cast speed for Lightning meteor. As we don't have the dummys right now to test per hit dmg on.
I only pursue this so avidly as there is a level of mystery here with the term "counts as a lightning spell" and other skills that convert penetrations.
I would OBVIOUISLY like that fire pen to be converted so that the shrapnel nodes seem more appealing to move towards instead of just AoE size.
Otherwise this whole section of the skill would be reserved for a build that would waste 2 pts whilst going lightning.

[flint bloom]

It does not change craterborn. It only changes what is explicitly stated(the base dmg). You get lightning pen from the helmet, for using the set. So, yes, craterborn would only give cast speed, which is why most lightning meteor builds dont use it alot/max it

You have dummies in champions gate(heorborea divine era).

Counting as a lightning spell just means it has lightning and spell tag.

Other skills that convert pen or other stats, explicitly state they do. Again. In this case it states it only effects the base dmg.most likely since its a set conversion, and not in the skill tree itself

[teal trail]

there are dummies next to the arena portal

[slow ivy]

Default Crit Multi is "200%", and the in-game guide states that it is multiplicative.
If my normal hits deal 1000 damage, and I crit (and I'm naked, basic attack, nothing spec'ed), how much damage do I deal?

[teal trail]

2000 i think since the skill that pre 0.9 had 100% crit multi by default didn't do more or less damage on crits

[slow ivy]

ty - going to wait on a dev response

[opaque falcon]

I'm worried about something so I thought I should ask and possibly not waste anymore time.

I have had to grind 180 hours to find a build I like as a new player here and settled on crit lich. Got some decent gear and grinding comfortably and hear many saying that it's confirmed somewhere that crit lich is getting heavy boss damage nerfs due to bugs or unbalanced skills..

Should I just drop the game now if this is true? Or are the nerfs or changes gonna be light enough to continue enjoying my build?

[teal trail]

the bone curse bug will likely get nerfed, it's extremely strong
the build will likely be playable after the nerf though

[opaque falcon]

It's not even the bone curse thing though? Fire skulls on hit is the dmg on bosses

[placid plinth]

We take care to keep high end builds viable when fixing bugs that cause power levels above expected. Especially if done mid ladder.

[teal trail]

mike, perry was asking if the 200% base crit multi doubled your damage or tripled it

[opaque falcon]

I would just like to know what interaction is being looked at or nerfed or changed... To know if I'll be cutting a brick with a rusty knife or cut a stick of butter with a hot knife.

Currently yes bosses just get "chunked" with this build but I don't want it to go from that to "hardly moving"

[placid plinth]

Double. Multiplier means amount by which damage is multiplied.
@slow ivy

[placid plinth]

I have no details on potential upcoming balance changes.

[slow ivy]

Got it. The fact that it said "multiplicative" kicked my brain into ARPG math.

[placid plinth]

Yea, it's tricky having similar style terms mean different things in different context.

[teal trail]

is there a secret cow level? and if not where are you hiding it?

[placid plinth]

Increase, decrease, more and less are modifier values which have +1.

Multipliers are just multiplied.

[placid plinth]

I feel like that might be in a grey area at best. Making an homage with a teleporting bear is one thing but straight up copying an iconic zone like that, while awesome, wouldn't go over well.

[visual oriole]

hi dev, can you pls help confirm this info?

[placid plinth]

As worded, it applies to the whole skill.

Undisclosed Grole Floor 👀

[silver basalt]

If a spell has 3 tags, Necrotic Damage, Spell Damage, Intelligence If i had 4% Necrotic or Spell damage on an item or 1 int(4% damage increase) its all the same damage bonus?

or is the type of damage the spell says on the description more beneficial to have than spell damage? asking since if i stacked more spell damage instead of necrotic would i lose damage? or same thing

[maiden brook]

yes

so long as it's doing pure necrotic damage then all three are equal

if it's not doing pure necrotic damage then the other two would be better

[silver basalt]

Good to know, not sure what would specify as not pure necrotic?

would mean if a spell did two types of dmg?

[maiden brook]

yeah

or even if you had flat added spell damage of another type on your gear

[silver basalt]

ah yeah

so if i had flat fire damage added to a necrotic it wouldnt boost the flat fire

[maiden brook]

btw this is #❔┃ask-the-community sorta question, not dev stuff

[silver basalt]

Oh sorry then ^^ ill make sure to write there next time with similar question

[dapper wind]

is it planned that we get more stats-infos in the stats, like different chances on hit for spells or alignments like time rot or how many +melee dmg there is in sum and so on? (i guess that would then be class specific table maybe?)

[icy flame]

question. does the idol that converts 100% of shield throw damage to void also affect the eruptions?

[silver fjord]

To expound: If you take the Void Knight tier 1 passive Temporal Corruption, Smite's Fissure will convert to void as well. Is the same implemented for Shield Throw's Eruption if using a 100% conversion to void for Shield Throw Large Idol?

[dense dagger]

No, that's a subskill

[icy flame]

thanks

[opaque falcon]

Are the affixes chosen when legendary crafting completely random or does the prefix/suffix distinction make any difference? What about tier levels etc.?

[strange tusk]

Mike, could you please review this question if possible? - #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

Alt text on the Baneful node says nothing about conversions.

[fading summit]

Could we get an option for an easier to see cursor? Like a higher contrast color, silverish maybe, also increase the size? It's an accessiblity feature, my old man eyes lose track of the cursor sometimes and I assume others might have the issue too.

[placid plinth]

Item linking in chat? yes. someone is working on that now.
Inspect player is still up in the air but I do expect us to add it at some point with a way to hide yourself.

[placid plinth]

[flint bloom]

you can also use yolomouse. its been suggested a few times by devs and other players

[placid plinth]

baneful does apply to penetration with bleed when converted with blood shade

I had just leveled up prior to it happening, game j ust finally closed out on its own

Ok, so that would be the overflow bug. Normally it's accompanied by a black circle around the character, but online isn't showing it. It's a very rare bug which we've been tracking for some time. Unfortunately we don't have any sort of reliable way to reproduce it. If you can submit information to the bug report forums, including your player.log, the time it happened, and any other info you can think of, it would be much appreciated.

When it happens, going back to character select and back in should clear it up.

Not strictly planned, as we haven't had an opportunity to revisit the filter for changes (hasn't come up in priority yet). I personally think it would be a nice feature to add when we do get the opportunity.

[mental igloo]

Definitely! thanks for letting me know. It's been a pain to have to go to a build planner and figure out what I need to filter for lol. Cheers m8

Seems like someone else had the same issue in: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/immortal-character/55051/2 so I just added my player log to it with details

[flat meadow]

this probably does work how i think i will, but just wanna make sure cuz of the way its worded; points in shield rush which gives more damage to the final hit applies to ailments/dot applied by the final hit as well, not just the hit damage correct? (i assume if it only works for hits it would say final hit's hit damage right?)

[placid plinth]

yes

[candid fox]

Hey Mike! So in that brief localization video, the RU locale uses only the Forum font. I assume this is because the other fonts lack cyrillic characters. I can provide you with Cinzel font with cyryllic glyphs. I also added cyryllic glyphs to the main Last Epoch font, as you can see in the pic below.

[quasi timber]

Can anybody confirm that the bonuses to the Lightning sub-skills in the various Primalist skill trees do or do not scale with bonuses to Lightning from other Primalist skill trees? The tooltips are for the exact same skill but that seems like a thing that won't work.

To clarify I'm referring to the Werebear Form node Crackling Assault; the Maelstrom nodes Power of the Storm, Strong Tides, and Energized; and the Tornado nodes Charged Storm, Overcast Skies, and Frequent Lightning.

[peak lynx]

Battlemage's Endeavour works with SB melee attacks? Cause I have yet to get a single lightning blast proc from spamming any of the SB melee attacks

[placid plinth]

yes, nodes from one skill do not affect another unless explicitly stated very clearly.

[placid plinth]

Yes.

[peak lynx]

Hmmm.

hasnt procced yet. Bugged? or just me? Im gonna guess you'll say its just me XD

[placid plinth]

I have no information on bugs here. If you think you've found a bug, please go directly to the forums to report it.

Just make sure you're hitting an enemy and not neutral target with the initial attack.

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[peak lynx]

no worries. thanks

definately hitting an enemy though

[placid plinth]

That video was incredibly early version. I had no idea we had anything like that in game until I saw it in a recap video the next day. I expect that it was just done with whatever font we had glyphs for at the time. I'm pretty sure that many of those additional glyphs are being created for cyrillic still. I've passed it along to someone who has more experience with this.

[opaque falcon]

Does attunement scaling on judgement (4% healing effectiveness per point) double dip with consecrated ground (1 spell damage per 5% increased healing effectiveness) ?

[placid plinth]

yes

[eager thorn]

Do these 2 work if you're indirectly casting Shadow Cascade?

[lucid orchid]

Is this a Malazan Book of the Fallen Refference? Plz help ❤️

[placid plinth]

I would be surprised if they do.

[placid plinth]

Maybe? I know it's a reference to something else, possibly both.

[lucid orchid]

what else please 😮

[placid plinth]

The gif I posted

First letter of each word

[lucid orchid]

https://malazan.fandom.com/wiki/Onos_T'oolan if you check the wiki - its a warrior from a race that cursed themselves to unlife.. Just like Immortal Empire in game. They even share tribalistic designs

[placid plinth]

It's one of the oldest uniques in the game actually

[lucid orchid]

Had to join to confirm this - wont be able to sleep 😄

[astral sonnet]

hey quick question about the Spellblade node that adds flat fire aura spell base damage (Incinerating Aura), is it working or not, or is the Alt tooltip not updating? I added a point and my fire aura damage went from 120 dps to.... 120 dps

[little raptor]

Immolator's Oblation says "+(4 to 6) Spell Damage for Fire and Necrotic skills per stack of Ignite on You (up to 40)" is that up to 40 damage or up to 40 ignites?

[placid plinth]

Secondary skills like that only show base DPS and don't update based on nodes like that.

[placid plinth]

I'm not actually sure. I think it's damage.

[dapper wind]

is it planned that we get more stats-infos in the stats, like different chances on hit for spells or alignments like time rot or how many +melee dmg there is in sum and so on? (i guess that would then be class specific table maybe?)

[fallen seal]

Do secondary effects from tempest strike (Northern winds/Earth Spikes/Lightning Bolt) proc idol "Avalanche boulder on spell cast"? If so, can it proc 3 times if 3 second effects appear? Moreover, does notes from tempest strike like Hailstorm can proc avalanche boulder? Going even further, does notes from passive tree like "Lightning strike on spell cast" can proc boulder also?

[dense dagger]

"on spell cast" means you push a button to cast a spell, not procs. So none of that works.

[slow ivy]

The second picture definitely works.

[fallen seal]

but as far as i can see, some boulders spawn when just use my tempest strike, its just too little

so that means, using tempest strike counts as a spell and melee attack?

[pine chasm]

No, it's a melee attack that triggers spells. You may have an idol that summons boulders on melee attack (look carefully at your idols, they are similar)

[dense dagger]

Must be inconsistent and my original statement would be wrong

[fallen seal]

i dont have any "on melee hit"

[dense dagger]

That's how pretty much everything seemed to behave on all the builds I've encountered so far

[fallen seal]

just on spell

i am so curios rn to know what that boulders come from

sooo, from my quick tests, tempest strike count as a "spell cast" but only if secondary effect procs

[pine chasm]

Out of curiosity, I tested it myself. Tempest strike itself counts as a spell cast, doesn't need to proc anything. The procs do not count. Tested using the idols and bleeding heart (self bleed on spell cast). Might be worth a bug report

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[fallen seal]

that changes my pov dramatically, thanks a lot! ❤️

[limber palm]

Just curious if Marksman's uniques are gunna get any updates? Example of what I'm referring to is Necro has a staff that can give like +10 wraiths with that you feel the power increase. But bows like reign of winter you feel a difference but it's not a huge power spike like other classes when there's so many draw backs to playing a mm. Like giant slayer is a must have for multishot. But it already reduces your damage and basically forces almost a melee play style. You also want to pair it with mourning frost which causes you to stack a ton of frost and physical resistance making you lose out on other important stats. And I haven't noticed any of these negatives in other classes. And don't get me wrong I don't mind the play style. But balance between classes seems kind significant.

[teal trail]

Other classes have similar issues, acolyte has a bunch of "must use" skills, meaning your build is limited to only using 2-3 of your skill slots freely

Unless you want to do no damage

[limber palm]

No it's the not must have talents it's all the draw backs that I'm referring to giant slayer is -80% DMG talent but required for its ability to have multiple arrows hit the same target then mourning frost boost the icicles from reign but then it's -1% frost -1% physical resistance per dex point which is what the boots scale off then it's reign of winter itself where it's only 30% chance.

Then you have weapons out there that are like +2 and 10wraiths and this that the other thing. And it's stuff like that which is why I believe players being drawn so heavily to certain classes.

Like the multishot build is fun and good. But I think minor Tweeks would make it a viable build people would want to play.

Instead of 80 reduced DMG make it like 60-65% instead of frost and physical resistance make it just frost resistant affected. One for one kind of deal. And I don't actually think reign of winter needs to be changed I just think it's everything else that holds it back

[teal trail]

Hungering souls has the same, all can hit but 63% less damage, and that on a staff with low spell damage

And unlike multishot it doesn't pierce

[pine chasm]

I think this is probably good for #368968647114227723 or #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[placid plinth]

We have big plans for the character sheet overhaul. It's been a back burner project for about 2 years now.

[dapper wind]

nice! ty for the answer <3

[limber palm]

I get this but you get reaper which is big buff to everything. MM you sacrifice alot of things and there's not many ways to fix it

And I know the devs are looking into a lot of things just more or less wondering if there's changes coming to mm to help us out

[placid plinth]

No word on specific upcoming balance changes. If you have a #suggestions-and-like-to-see , please put it there.

[desert cipher]

With Lethal Concentration weapons perk ( Your poison modifiers also apply to to your skeleton rogues) how exactly works this.
Does it take my poison damage + mine DoT % + minion poison damage when a minion applies a DoT now?

[lunar bone]

hey, I just got the game and I noticed that it uses by default dx11, with pretty underwhelming performance (on a 5600x + 32GB + 7900XTX, latest drivers), so I forced it to run on dx12 (via the Unity command line option -force-d3d12) and I got basically almost a 2x boost (from 11-12ms @5120x1440 to 5-6ms)

so, my question is: any reason to not run the game in dx12?

[limber palm]

Did just that thanks for responding

[rich tree]

i think i found a vulnerability that is allowing player logs to be exposed on the clear net for anyone to access. staff please DM me for explanation of vulnerability.

[placid plinth]

please contact #support directly

[rich tree]

thx

[placid plinth]

Can you post where this is coming from? (preferably a screenshot if possible)

[placid plinth]

the engine doesn't have dx12 as an option

[placid plinth]

lol totally forgot that was a weapon name, I was looking for a tree node

[desert cipher]

haha someone threw it up in chat yesterday and its actually not a horrible thing ~~ xD

Can you check the math on it? and also make sure the dots that minion does and the dots i do are both scaled from me in the end

[placid plinth]

It's any stat that has the words "increased poison damage" or "more poison damage" get given to your skeleton rogues when you summon them.

[desert cipher]

Does it get added to the physical base and the abilitys? (flask and throwing)

[placid plinth]

it gets applied as though the minion was holding a dagger that had those stats on it. (also poison damage can't be flat added)

[desert cipher]

Ok so 100% poison on any of my pieces would be transferred over to rogue as 100% poison damage i get that.
but does it scale with the physical they have or just the abilitys?

[placid plinth]

just to be super clear "100% poison" and "100% poison damage" can't exist as stats

[desert cipher]

"% increase poison Damage"

[placid plinth]

for example, the "109% increased poison damage" implicit on that spear would be given to your summon rogues as "109% increased poison damage".

physical damage doesn't scale with poison increases

only poison damage does

[desert cipher]

Ok perfect, so it will only boost the DoT they apply with flask and throwing (from the weapon)
does the posion DoT they apply scale with both mine or just the minions damage then?
Example DoT % on my armor would be a waste if that was the case outside of my own alliment procs from aura of decay and such.

i assume we both got a separate DoT damage

[placid plinth]

normally, your minions only benefit from minion stats, so if you have increased minion dot damage, it will apply to your minion's dots and not your own. If you have increased dot damage, it will apply your your dots and not your minions.

The mod on that weapon creates an exception to this in that non-minion increases to poison damage (not all dots, just poison) are applied to your rogue minions.

[surreal steeple]

Why does the controller UI have the feet button

[desert cipher]

Okey thanks Mike~~ ❤️
Will clean up my build a bit then, add a bit more room for more important stuff 😄

[lunar bone]

what do you mean?

we can totally force DX12 via command line argument

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure why that works. In the build options, DX12 isn't one of them.

[placid plinth]

mostly because the UI is PC first and has a controller mode

[surreal steeple]

Why does the M+KB ui have a feet button then

[placid plinth]

to show you which button it is to walk

[lunar bone]

there is, here:

[placid plinth]

I don't know then

[lunar bone]

(I'm a gamedev too 😂 )

that menu shows up only if you disable the automatic option though

[surreal steeple]

I feel like that's kinda unneccesary UI bloat. I figured out how to walk in basically every other ARPG without a key on the screen. It took me far longer to figure out what the "<spri" was supposed to mean. Like, is there a button somewhere that will make me sprint? Why can I not find it?

[placid plinth]

you also will have the ability to assign another ability to left click to make it click to move only or a move/attack button so it is necessary to be there.

[slow void]

Hey guys, sorry to intrude but I was curious where I would post a report for a duplication bug? I think I may have found one

[placid plinth]

double check it persists through relog and then report it via #support contact please

[slow void]

Thank ya!

[surreal steeple]

So I'll be able to map another ability to it while playing with controller eventually?

That's dope. Carry on.

[placid plinth]

well not a 6th ability and I'm not sure it really plays a part with controller

[surreal steeple]

Oh. So it could feasibly be removed from the controller UI then at least, right? Because at this point it doesn't even tell us how to move lol

[placid plinth]

hypothetically, yes

[surreal steeple]

Just putting that forward as a suggestion then, because the rest of the UI feels really good except for that one thing that is at this point, not only unnecessary but also misleading. You obviously want the UI to show relevant information needed to play the game, so when I boot this game up for the first time and it's on my steam deck so i am only playing with a controller, and I see a button with feet labeled <spri and cannot for the life of me figure out what it does or why it's there, it causes unneeded friction with would be new players, however minor. And it comes off as low effort, which is not the vibe I get from the rest of the game. Just my 2 cents after spending my $35

[placid plinth]

thanks for the suggestion, please put them in#suggestions-and-like-to-see in the future

[opaque falcon]

If I spec into Charged Movement on Surge tree to generate spark charges, but I'm also using Fragment of the Enigma, will all spark charges generated benefit from more multis on Surge tree or does the game distinguish between how a charge is generated?

[pine chasm]

Spark charges are never affected by skill trees unless explicitly stated

[placid plinth]

sorry, I posted yes for a second there because I didn't read the question right

[rapid fractal]

Are items from the gambler already rolled or are they generated when you buy them?

[placid plinth]

at buy time

[mellow viper]

If i convert earthquake to a spell does the added damage has 350% effectivness also geht converted for spell damage?

[placid plinth]

the added damage effectiveness is more of a property of that damage applier than the damage type. So while the damage effectiveness doesn't get converted, it doesn't need to.

[mellow viper]

Thanks

[rapid fractal]

With aura of decay if I get poison penetration does it apply to myself?

[placid plinth]

Yes. We are just talking about that now and I'm thinking that might be a problematic design though.

[fossil dune]

Aura of Decay buffs/rework?

[mellow viper]

New ailment that only aura of decay puts on you that isnt affected by poison Penetration?

[rapid fractal]

Or it could be that the poison from AOD that goes on you doesn’t scale with anything?

[placid plinth]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[strange pecan]

why is there dialogue after formosus 😦

[limber palm]

Are there corruption thresholds on chances of getting higher LP uniques?

[haughty kite]

Is there a maximum highest Forging Potential that an item can drop with?

[placid plinth]

normal answer: no.
cheeky answer because I'm terrible: yes, only the one at 0.

Given that a unique item is dropping, the only thing that affects the odds for it to have a higher LP that you can control is the level of the zone that you are in. If you are farming lvl 100 zones, the only way to increase your odds of finding a unique with LP is to find more uniques.

[placid plinth]

Yes, I'm not sure what it is but I think it's somewhere in the high 50's?

[placid plinth]

sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Like to convey the narrative?

[junior lintel]

Normal is 32 at all levels, Magic is 28 at all levels, Rare is 44 at level 100, 1 or 2 affix Exalted is 50 at level 100, 3 or 4 affix Exalted is 56 at level 100.

• Previous dev quote

[placid plinth]

perfect, thank you

I was a little off, mid 50's

[haughty kite]

Thanks!

[limber palm]

what about when that unique comes directly from a boss...im only asking cause farming this bow is becoming more tedious then fun. im some where between 16-20 bows if not more not including the helm drops and one bow with 1 lp dropped.

[placid plinth]

Given that a unique item is dropping, the only thing that affects the odds for it to have a higher LP that you can control is the level of the zone that you are in. If you are farming lvl 100 zones, the only way to increase your odds of finding a unique with LP is to find more uniques.

There are no exceptions to this.

[limber palm]

and its boss specific so i cant exactly target farm nodes as well and i dont believe asenace glyphs work

[placid plinth]

high tier unique items should not be expected to be found with LP for the most part.

[limber palm]

you say its high tier but for the most part its pretty weak but the best the bows have to offer...in comparison to to just drops you can farm for other classes. so if we can expect it to be one heck of a grind it should be made worth it.

[placid plinth]

It's possible that you might also just be getting unlucky. I'm not sure what item you're talking about. You can view the effective LPlvl on tunklab or letools to see how relatively rare the LP is on it.

[limber palm]

reign of winter

[placid plinth]

yea, that's a higher tier unique, it has a natural LP level so it's just the same as its equip level

[limber palm]

i love the bow and the build im playing. but man i really think somethings should be looked at especially if seasons are going to be a thing. 277hrs in and still not even a single 2lp bow. and its the only target farm ive done

[placid plinth]

thanks for the #368968647114227723

[limber palm]

please dont take what ive said the wrong way either i think its a great game i just think somethings might need to be tuned is all i dont mind farming but this has been a journey

[placid plinth]

yea, it's totally fine to have suggestions and thoughts on the game (even if they are bad). I just need those to go in the appropriate channel if you want someone to read them

[strange pecan]

I realized this is not the correct channel for this complaint 🙃

[slow ivy]

If I had a Twitch Bot with general utillity for Last Epoch stuff....
Should it be called "LastEpochBot"? "LE_Bot" ? "LastEpoch_Bot" ? "LastEBot"?

[little raptor]

(the correct answer is LastEbot obv)

[placid plinth]

LastEBot for sure.

[mental igloo]

Does Healing Effectiveness affect the Sentinel tree's 'Time and Faith' node? Says health regain which sounds to me like a heal, so I'm just wondering if I can stack it.

[fossil dune]

Healing effectiveness is only for actual healing, not regen, not "on block/hit", not leech

[opaque falcon]

Does consecrated ground's healing stack if I have multiple auras?

[mental igloo]

Then what is this considered? Is it a heal? its none of the above you've mentioned 🙂

[dense dagger]

Generally, auras do not stack. Not 100% sure about consec ground specifically

[dense dagger]

It is not a heal

[glass silo]

Some questions now that multiplayer is live:
What are the plans for the white and blue gear/weapons for endgame, will there be a point where you can build them up into a rare completely customized with affixes you want on them?
What are the plans for level a new character without going through the campaign at all once you have reached the end of time?
Will pets that came with the Kickstarter purchase be available in game and is there any thoughts on allowing them to pick up gold and shards?

[dense dagger]

White and blues are like rolling a 0. They have to exist so the good things can be good. They aren't supposed to be for endgame. Discussions are ongoing about leveling alts. Not sure about the pet question, but they are for sure against them picking anything up.

[glass silo]

Understand about the whites and blues and leveling alts, as for pets why is there such angst against them serving a real purpose. Just having something running around with us just to be there seems pointless.

[dense dagger]

Not sure, not a dev. Just relaying their past responses

[glass silo]

ahhh, thanks

[placid plinth]

this was a recent topic and whites can actually drop with a lot of FP in some cases so you can kinda already do that.

There are no plans to level a new character without going through the campaign at all once you have reached the end of time.

Yes, several already are. We do not intend to have pets pick up anything for you at this time.

[flint orchid]

The clue is in the text. "You regain health" instead of "You heal". If it had been the latter healing effectiveness should have worked

[opaque falcon]

the damage does tho

[opaque falcon]

It doesn't exactly "stack" how we normally think, but each instance will heal you in intervals relative to when it was cast. So all heals will register, but it doesn't stack in the way we think of armor shred or ailments per say

[pine chasm]

Specifically, the consecrated ground aura does not stack because you can only have one at a time. If you have multiple paladins with cons ground auras, their healing and damage stacks just like the ground effect does.

[mellow viper]

If i convert earthquake to lightning and use bhuldars wrath what takes priority in conversion? Is it 50% lightning 50% fire or just 100% fire?

Also does the earthquake trigger from bhuldars get affected by cooldown recovery speed?

[slow ivy]

No, still 5 seconds

[final cave]

Does Orobyss have a cat?

[drifting sail]

can someone answer if Julra is bugged at the moment, im getting ported back and hit with the implosion 5 times out of 7 runs, and its not doing it in the dungeon.

[tired obsidian]

Hey everyone! I'm looking to get into this game and I was curious if this game will be a steady "live service or living" game similar to PoE and how D4 is suppose to be?

[placid plinth]

sounds pretty bugged to me. Check the forums for other similar reports if you'd like to see if other people are experiencing a similar issue

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[placid plinth]

We do plan to continue to regularly release new content and to bring back the ladder which will reset periodically at the same time as the new content. There are several similarities and differences to how PoE and D4 do it.

[tired obsidian]

That's awesome, I just wasn't sure if the game was being developed with the mindset of a single player game where once you play the content/story you're pretty much done or if there will be ever evolving content. I played a couple of D3 seasons and am coming from Destiny 2 where the game is always changing.

[placid plinth]

Yea, we're doing our own spin on it but more Destiny 2 than D3.

[tired obsidian]

That's really exciting to hear, I will definitely be playing and following along with the game! Thank you for the answers

[drifting sail]

Does that mean we can expect a tier 8 gear and more dungeons?

[placid plinth]

t8 affixes aren't on the plan at the moment. I can't say they will never show up but we don't have any designs for them. I think we would look for more lateral expansion of affix options.

more dungeons though, yes.

[drifting sail]

A power creep to match the dungeons , so better drops in general.

[placid plinth]

new dungeons won't necessarily be strictly harder or better than the old ones.

[drifting sail]

OHH I think some hardcore players like the power creep, I don't mind I die enough already ha. I watch the friday streams so I have an idea of where your going, I'm excited, got over 300 hrs in so I,m hooked .

[gritty sphinx]

When are the final 3 Masteries coming? I've been looking forward to Falconer

[placid plinth]

1.0

[drifting sail]

I hope you explore ways of making things more difficult in the long run, it adds play-ability after you finish everything.

[gritty sphinx]

pewp

[drifting sail]

Whats the nearest best guess for 1.0 release .

[remote wedge]

Are you going to increase the online character limit at some point? I'm already at max and not nearly enough:)

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, we don't have details on the release date of 1.0 that we are prepared to share.

[placid plinth]

We don't have a hard answer to this at the moment. Given how it is set up, it is likely that we will but I can't guarantee it yet as we need to check a few things first.

[remote wedge]

Ok, no rush just to know it is possible. I hated the low limit on every diablo:) I'm an altoholic:)

[gritty sphinx]

honestly, I need at least 15 character slots, one of every mastery

[fossil dune]

There's 20

[gritty sphinx]

hadn't noticed that, that works for me

[severe anchor]

Are you guys wanting to add another layer of character progression?

[placid plinth]

We plan to add the item factions system as outlined in this post: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[desert cipher]

When you say poison pen you mean (image) or?

or do you mean if i have poison pen from anywhere else the damage i have will pen me aswell?

[midnight jewel]

How is multiplayer going to work by the time of release? Is the current iteration what to be expected? What I mean is, is it to be expected that in order for people to play together they need to post in chat about grouping or invite their friends?

[pine chasm]

They are talking about the self-inflicted poison scaling with your damage & penetration stats, not this node (which is not penetration, this is a debuff like shred)

[crude plover]

pretty sure this has been answered before but i cannot remember the answer, are there any plans to add legendary potential or something similar to set items?

[pine chasm]

They will get something eventually, but it will not be LP

[crude plover]

that's nice to hear, there's quite a few set items who are bad stat stick wise but have build enabling features, making it feel like you're a fine tuned machine running on cooking oil

[pearl robin]

Quick Question Does the affix "Cold Penetration with Frostbite" only effect the 36 damage that frostbite applies?

[fleet galleon]

yes

[pearl robin]

but why?

[ocean sorrel]

because its cold penetration with frostbite

[fleet galleon]

You can scale frostbite to hit higher
And it specifically says "cold penetration with frostbite"
not "cold penetration"

Also when i say "hit higher" it's not really true
it's not a hit

[vital pelican]

whats the easiest way to bug report?

[placid plinth]

the node Fume Weaver is not penetration, it's more similar to resistance shred ailment but it is distinct. It's actually the same as how holy aura works.

im gonna drop a controversial fiery take rn

i think new good games should have one button easy bug report

like i press a button and say "Thetima town portals get located inside structures and cannot be used sometimes" and Send

[fossil dune]

Considering how a lot of reports in this game want to have proof of said issue along with logs and any additional information available to help, the idea of sending a random block of text with minimal context is really not a good system.

[vital pelican]

it still gives a good hunch at least about minor problems, and give feedback how many people might be talking about certain minor issue

imagine if you could like shift-F search "Town Portal" and see how many search results there are, and see the total of reports

[fossil dune]

There's this thing called a search bar on the very platform you're on and the place where every bug report is logged. Just seems like unnecessary development time for a lackluster, underwhelming implementation of a far more complex thing than you think it is.

[vital pelican]

thanks ill try to learn how to use forums 🙂

[desert cipher]

Ye we had a chat about it in the class chat about the base poison res shred -5% and less 60% on player but can't we argue that (image) is the counter for it? and why it is there in the first place to prevent losing to much resistance? it will be an issue if you pick up the SE side path and the Int shred but with not to much int and self poison stack this one perk is enought to counter it.

and you're only getting to many poison stacks if you don't control this (image) or poison skin

or use it in the first place

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question at all.

[teal trail]

yes, poison resistance reduction (from poison stacks) is countered by building more than 75% resistances

[desert cipher]

You mentioned earlier that it was problemtic and might need a rework.

If you gonna rework anything adding numbers to the self poison resistance buff and changing the SE path self apply poison rate not poison DoT itself. I like the shred on the DoT

[pine chasm]

I'm pretty sure the problem he's referring to is that in order to build AoD to kill enemies, it will kill you first because they have a lot more effective health than players.

[placid plinth]

I said problematic, never said needs a rework though. Someone else did as a reply. The whole conversation we had was something like this.

"Your damage stats apply to your self poison with AoD right?"
"Yea"
"Ouch, that might be problematic eh?"
"Yea"```

[desert cipher]

Ok that makes sense ye

[desert cipher]

OK ye miss understood the topic then ma bad ~
But yeah agreee its an issue the amount of Health reg i need to counter the stacks if i even touch (image) and stack increased poison damage % is a death sentence haha

[midnight jewel]

I saw this post from back in 2018 talking about the goals of multiplayer. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/multiplayer/1286 Has that idea/concept shifted?

[placid plinth]

sorry, don't have time to read that whole thing but a lot has changed in 5 years

[stark trout]

did i miss it or is there still going to be the friday stream today? slept in...

[midnight jewel]

I'll give you the highlights, its basically what you told me earlier and other things that have been said, such as a central hub for players. The post goes on to say that multiplayer will feature the ability to restrict what types of players can see and join your game and you can restrict others by their level, content completed or a friends only game and have a filter to search for games with certain words in the title.

[midnight jewel]

Its at 3PM CDT

So 10 minutes

[kind oak]

Hey there, is there any official information on the mechanics of the vendor shop refresh? I have been trying to deduce them for hours, but can't see a pattern yet.

[fossil dune]

Currently they refresh on instance reload. The one between monos is bugged.

[hoary vapor]

Need some help.. Having issues with Freezing then getting disconnected from the game server.

[pine chasm]

Try #support, or maybe the forums or someone in #❔┃ask-the-community may be able to help

[hoary vapor]

I have done both of those.. Not getting much help from support. I have emailed them my logs and times at which issues happen.

[crude plover]

how much ram do you have? right now there's still a slight memory leak so if it maxes out your memory it can freeze and crash

[hoary vapor]

32gb DDR5

[crude plover]

nvm then, best of luck

[hoary vapor]

Thanks

[static violet]

is barbed thicket node physical dmg and bleed chance works only allies or is it also applied to me?

[deep badger]

Hey devs! Do you plan Steam Deck support? It’s playable already with some effort but needs refined controller support

[hallow rapids]

Has the dev team considered something along the lines of reducing skill opacity? Sometimes when playing with people, it's harder to see what's going on (or what's about to rock my world)

[spare hawk]

Will the falconer's falcon scale on player damage or minion damage? (or both?)

[midnight jewel]

I have the same amount of DDR5 and played for like 6-8 hours straight and never crashed

Maybe something else is going on with your system

[placid plinth]

not for 1.0 but possibly longer term

[placid plinth]

yes (to be clear that doesn't mean that we will but we have considered it)

[placid plinth]

depends

[placid plinth]

"Other allies with Thorn Shield deal global increased physical damage and have a chance to cause enemies to bleed."

[maiden brook]

Does the dev team have any particular view on numpad-tech autocasting?

or autocasting in general?

[opaque falcon]

Do you guys plan to put achievements?

[placid plinth]

yes, not any time soon though

[placid plinth]

It is an unfortunate byproduct of mistakes in skill design.

[fast turret]

Does channeled Hail of Arrows benefit from attack speed?

[sand scaffold]

how does this work with existing damage dealt to mana before health?

[placid plinth]

technically yes but not how you want it to so effectively no.

[fast turret]

What is the effect? 😅

[cosmic rapids]

Will dungeons have revive system like D4? On certain tiers you get a certain amount of revivals?

[placid plinth]

that node is worded wrong, it's actually damage dealt to mana before ward, not health.

[sand scaffold]

what if i have no ward?

with fractured crown

[placid plinth]

sorry, bad variable name threw me off, I dug a little deeper, it just reduces the damage taken overall and can apply to protect ward. it reduces the damage you take the same if you are already out of ward

Mental Aegis happens before damage to mana instead of health

[placid plinth]

no plans to at the moment

[placid plinth]

the time to start channeling is reduced. So technically it has an extremely minor effect.

[fast turret]

Oh ok, thanks

[opaque falcon]

Is damage deterministic assuming crit is 100 (if hit) and everything is stable (shred, pen, etc.) between instances of damage? Not sure if there's an oversight on my end, but I can get different values on my damage on dummies for what I would expect to be the same.

[placid plinth]

there is a slight damage variance applied so that the numbers aren't quite the same each time

[opaque falcon]

Are the numbers public?

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure it's just +/- 20%

[opaque falcon]

Do we have some type of protection against over farming corruption?

Say we've been pushing to 600+ corruption on a build and we end up getting lucky on shade kills but reach a point where we lose or change the build or the build gets changed and can't do the corruption bosses you are at. You want to lower corruption but can't due to how tough the current shades are with the new build or changes made to the class.

Is there any quick tricks or mechanics to fully reset corruption on a character or?

[placid plinth]

not yet but it is necessary to add

[fathom stirrup]

do shadow daggers count as abilities cast by shadows?

[kind nexus]

Not for the affix that increases damage done by skills used by shadows, no

They are an Ailment procced off of the skill used by the shadow

[final cave]

Hi Mike

You previously confirmed that sealing is never guaranteed

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

However, info on Maxroll has an example saying its guaranteed under some circumstances

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/414295382625878037/1099155522860626022/image.png

Which is correct here?

Asking because Maxroll is much newer than your comment from 2022 and it's possible that something changed. Thanks in advance 🙂

[pine chasm]

I just failed sealing a T1 affix on an exalted last week. It's super rare, but it can happen

[final cave]

Thanks @pine chasm 🙂 Hopefully Mike can clear up the general rule also as the example shown is different from another suggested example (sealing T1 when all affix slots are currently full)

I suspect I know the answer now though 🙂

[south cedar]

Martyr Toast out here dying for our info

[limpid dome]

Yeah, sealing an affix is not guaranteed

[final cave]

Thanks @limpid dome. That satisfies me as I'm confident you've gotten that answer through relevant means. 🙂

I'll wait for Mike to answer my question about whether Orobyss has a cat now instead 🙂

[visual oriole]

hi dev, is the auto summoning vines from eterra's path affected by the cooldown from silvafrond ring?
next, does cooldown recovery reduces this cooldown for summoning vines?
lastly, why bear form can cast entangling roots much easier than spriggan form? it doesn't really fit the archetype that an animal transformation can use a tree skill much easier than a tree form does
also considering that in bear form, maul proccing entangling roots only has 4s, but in spriggan form, the shortest is to shoot spirit thorns 21 times, which is astronomically longer than 4s just to proc entangling roots, thus I think dev should consider changing the spiritwhisperer node from 1 vale spirit every 5 spirit thorns casts, to 1 spirit every spirit thorn cast

[rich vigil]

Are you guys systematically going through the mobs and reducing the implicit rarity of their drops?

[slow ivy]

That article is not worded correctly. Currently, the working hypothesis is: "An exalted item that has 4 affixes will 100% seal a Tier 1 modifier."
One dev said this was true once, and it definitely seems very likely, but another dev has said that it is not guaranteed. Hard to test, hard to verify.

[slender plover]

can anyone with code access please tell me if there is anything wrong with the contagion node for spirit plague. So far, as I have used it, it seems that even with the upgraded 175% AOE range it doesnt seem to want to affect targets further away from the target than an arm span away...

and its really disapointing that it wont affect a whole pack like bone curse can

because as it is worded its supposed to affect everything around the target, which it does, but it should affect everything in a larger area with that aoe increase that it gets. this tells me the base radius is tiny.

note im not asking about the spread mechanic. that part works as intended just fine.

[hoary vapor]

Can anyone tell me about the following information: ET P2P Edonkey Publicize File ACK

[tribal flare]

Could you give us the option to be able to skip nodes in echo? for example pay with stability to skip say an Arena node, Arena nodes are easily the worst content in monos and just makes the game generally unenjoyable.

[crude plover]

i know this is kind of a suggestion, but have you guys thought of having a dungeon or a system that makes it possible to put affixes normally not available on a certain type of equipment (let's say a two handed staff with attack speed)?

[crude plover]

should prob write that in the #suggestions-and-like-to-see channel

[placid plinth]

Just to be clear, it's not aoe range, it's aoe area. As an area gets bigger, increases to area seem to have less effect as the radius increases as a function of area (A = πr²). Is it possible that the area is increasing size at a slower rate than expected?

[placid plinth]

No

[placid plinth]

No idea what it is but it appears unrelated to Epoch.

[placid plinth]

Yes, we've thought of that.

[placid plinth]

ICRDS only applies to the skills that go on your bar and only affects the version on your bar.

[celest pond]

greetings, im confused by this how do i get this exclusive in game cosmetics items? there is nothing that indicate i have that wether in my bag or storage

[cloud cosmos]

Hi, is that intended if i'm using a always crit node (bone curse) with singularity it's still procs the crit but in white numbers ?

[crude plover]

would it be possible to elaborate on what you guys thought about it? is it still on the table or was it problematic to have in the game?

[flint bloom]

you had to buy before .9 launch to get certain pets/backpack. tho that is def a bit misleading right now.

[slim stone]

Has there been any updates on the ability to play this game purely offline? (meaning: no need for internet connection to boot the game)

[crude plover]

this just implies that they might give out cosmetics to people who bought the game during early access when 1.0 or so comes out, very much like how they gave the backpack to people who purchased the game before 0.9 when 0.9 came out.

[fossil dune]

You do get some cosmetic points for buying the game in beta, you'll get those when the shop is out

You also do have a pet for buying in beta

[south cedar]

We do??

[crude plover]

ya, the juvenile skullen

[maiden nimbus]

How come it was decided to not include spears in the sentinel tree? Axes and swords give atk spd.. I feel like spears should be included to the mace node. Mail crusher. Spears look awesome and the attack animation is nicely done, it's a shame spears aren't really used and have more options.

I understand no daggers and such but spears are certainly a warrior type of weapon.

I think even including spears to mail crusher would see a nice spike in spear usage. I'm using a trident for my rive crit build and I love the asthetic of it.

[sand scaffold]

I assume game runs stats numbers with float or something behind the scenes? I noticed that yesterday when I had exactly HP=endurance threshold according to stats panel, and the DR wasn't active when HP was full

Had to switch to something that gave me endurance threshold+2 to HP then it worked

Wondering if it might make sense to to a rounding when taking account those calculations cuz it gets a bit confusing

[grave cairn]

Is there a possibility you will allow mobility skills to be used in town?

[hoary vapor]

@placid plinth @placid plinth After doing some research it looks like LE uses it for a peer 2 peer connection.

[grim crystal]

any plans on balancing echos ? i mean the echo enemys are waaayyyyy weaker as the hard boss. Would be nice it would get harder over time.

[teal trail]

You mean like building corruption to increase enemy damage/health?

Or something else?

[grim crystal]

no i mean they normal enemys now are 5-10 time weaker as the boss and the boss is most of the time hardcore........... its like slaying sheeps until you fight an planet destroyer

this need a little more balancing

[sand scaffold]

It will get harder and boss fights will be easier than echoes

With corruption ( minus shade fight cuz that one is hard af)

[grim crystal]

so the gap between normal enemys and bosses in echos is normal @sand scaffold

?

[sand scaffold]

Close to impossible malenia fight sort of hard

Yes. I take it as the intended experience at lower corruption

[grim crystal]

hmm are there any infos about the offline LAN mode ? that was mentioned on the kickstarter site ?

[native wigeon]

will there ever be the option to skip the campaign instead of having to replay it every single time i make a new character

[slender plover]

I think so because the only thing affected (if it is) is the spread range. The application range seems to not affect mobs further away than ones standing right next to the target.

[fossil dune]

Nope, they've said outright that a full campaign skip won't happen

[zenith storm]

im hoping for something like D3's 1 to 70 in 20 minutes

[fossil dune]

That is also extremely unlikely as they already have a system to cut down the time it takes to get through the campaign that they plan to refine further, and they don't want people skipping to max level in mere minutes. Which is reasonable, that's lame as hell.

[zenith storm]

lame to you. needed for others. subjectivity.

[south cedar]

Needed?

Rather presumptious statement

[placid plinth]

The cosmetics aren't fully in the game yet. But if you open your inventory, there is an appearance tab which should let you equip a minipet.

[placid plinth]

Crits are always yellow

[placid plinth]

We are still working on it. No ETA yet.

[placid plinth]

They are less thematic to the class. We want to primarily promote the weapons that it has bonuses to.

[placid plinth]

We round a lot of stat displays so it is more readable

[placid plinth]

Extremely mega super unlikely

[placid plinth]

Please read #rules 8

[placid plinth]

We aren't making a LAN playable mode.

Pure offline mode is coming though.

[honest narwhal]

@placid plinth Will offline characters also get the updates made to the game or will I need to make a new one every patch?

[placid plinth]

We don't have plans to include that currently.

[placid plinth]

Yes, also please read #rules 8

[honest narwhal]

Sorry. Will abide from now on. Thanks for the answer

[sand scaffold]

i think it might be a good idea to round off the numbers before comaring in this kind of threshold situation? all the other stats doesnt have this exact issue

[maiden nimbus]

I think a spear is more thematic to a warrior than any of the other 4 classes, personally. Maybe a not falconer but that isn't out yet so idk. Spartan warriors were spear users. Spears fit sentinel more than a rogue or a druid or a mage or necro etc. Plus there's spear nodes for javelin and lunge. The only spear ability in the game is meta when you take a node to make it not require a spear. Lol. I just feel like spears were excellently designed, they look and feel great, but no builds use them because they've been completely abandoned it feels like.

I know I'm not alone in saying spears are my favorite weapon class, I would love to see more spear nodes/gameplay implementation.

That's probably my biggest ask for Last epoch, otherwise I'm in love with this game. Lol. Great work devs!

[hoary vapor]

@placid plinth My bad, I thought we were having a conversation. I won't make the mistake of thinking I can talk to someone that responded to one of my post.

[zenith storm]

When will we be able to teleport out and retain the map AND loot left behind.....

[placid plinth]

It's fine, just please don't ping staff.

You can "reply" to a post and turn off the ping by unselecting the blue @on to the right and it will keep the conversation going without pinging.

[placid plinth]

It applies when you get to the threshold, so the first 1 HP might not have the DR applied but the rest of your HP will. So it's really super not a big deal at all.

[placid plinth]

no eta

[boreal sand]

is there a way to plan a build and check the amount of dps on it?

[placid plinth]

not at the moment

I think tunklab or lastepochtools might have some tools

they have lots of awesome stuff

[zenith storm]

When can we get the stash to sort items with ryhme or reason. it doens't line up items by base type or level. how does it currently work?

[placid plinth]

that'll be a bit still, low priority feature but it is coming

[opaque falcon]

Judgement gets a spell point per 5% healing effectiveness: is this treated as base or added damage (for the sake of effectiveness)?

Thanks for the answers. I try to be succinct and find answers my own first, but the amount of questions I have is a testament to how much I love this game; I foresee myself on this game for the next 5 to 10 years.

[sand scaffold]

its actually build breaking in my case. cuz i use damage dealt to mana. D:

also if the first damage is a high dmg one the diff is def big

[placid plinth]

yup, that might be the only case where it does matter actually. ouch

[sand scaffold]

or some other low life build :X

[placid plinth]

well, those usually rely on ward which doesn't work with endurance. You know, I'm not sure endurance is supposed to protect your mana either.

[placid plinth]

added

[little raptor]

When the chillflame node converts stacks of ignite into stacks of frostbite, are those stacks of frostbite new stacks applied by the shatter strike? Or will the frostbite stacks inherit the damage modifiers of the skill that applied the ignite?

[crude plover]

Don't take this away from us lowly mages aswell, it's hard enough as is if you aren't using ward (damage dealt to mana builds usually use super secret crown)

[pine chasm]

Also, this doesn't matter much since endurance will still apply to hits taken that bring you below the threshold

[sand scaffold]

we are talking about losing 60% DR vs one shot here

[opaque falcon]

And the base damage is per tick or also .72 effective?

[pine chasm]

Yeah, exactly what I'm talking about. That is not a concern for endurance since it always applies to the health within your threshold

[sand scaffold]

you would think it does cover when threshold=hp

[pine chasm]

It always covers. The only time this would matter is if you have some kind of effect that depends on you being under or over your endurance threshold

[sand scaffold]

you have a misunderstanding of the issue

it doesnt cover cuz there is digits after the whole number game is not showing

so its actually hp>threshold

[pine chasm]

Right, so your endurance will not apply to that bit of health (less than 1 health) - pretty negligible, no?

[sand scaffold]

again not how it works

[cursive basin]

does companion size mean anything?

[knotty beacon]

any thought on making a wallpaper tab on the official site?? i would love to have some arts as a wallpaper

[shadow swift]

does using the Rune of Ascendance in a mono, increase the chance of getting that mono-specific unique?

[pine chasm]

No, you can't get monolith-specific uniques (boss drops) from runes of ascendance at all

[shadow swift]

Thanks - how about the non-boss drops. Like I'm trying to get a Melverns writ which requires me to target farm "the last ruin" mono unique nodes. Would joining an echo in "the last ruin", then using the ruin of ascendence on a relic increase my chance of getting it

Vs not

[flint bloom]

Those runes just roll based on the equipment type. Area doesnt matter when rolling them. You are only "target farming" in that timeline cuz it has unique nodes for that type. Its still a global drop and can be found anywhere

[pine chasm]

The "target farm" wording in LE Tools just means you'll be able to find "unique or set [item type]" reward echoes there relevant to that item, but it can drop anywhere high enough level

[shadow swift]

I see - so since Melverns writ is a unique relic, "the last ruin" would spawn unique relic type nodes for it to drop

[severe yacht]

Hey, am I absolutely stupid or are some of the Shaman's skill tooltips doubled up in a way that doesn't make sense?

[signal sage]

do spirits in spirit swarm count as minions?

[slender plover]

running into a bug with the stash tabs. a category that I made wont delete. I delete it and when I reopen the stash it comes back.

[fallow dust]

How does the void knight’s anomaly talents mark of rot and time lord work together exactly? Mark of rot increases void dmg taken by 100% and points in it scales duration only but if you are using the bubble that moves with you (time lord) does it use the bubble’s duration instead? ( that’s if the dmg taken increase even works with the moving bubble cause so far it does not seem to change my damage at all)

[pine chasm]

Wandering Spirits? No, it just deals direct spell damage over time

[pine chasm]

They don't interact. Mark of Rot is applied when enemies are returned to the present, which just happens to also be what creates the bubble

[fallow dust]

you'd think immediacy talent makes it all work though?

[pine chasm]

Immediacy just makes all the return effects happen immediately after the casting effects as if you instantly toggled it off using the 'combo skill', the bubble still only does exactly what it says it does (slow, void shred, and whatever else you've given it from further bubble nodes)

[fallow dust]

alrighty thanks, that'll save me some points indeed

[celest pond]

i see so these cosmetics would be like a shops later, like in game purchases? also im looking on the appearance menu > pet i don't have any pets available im guessing its only for those who bought the game before patch 9 then just like other guy said.

[maiden brook]

is something with the wording "heal yourself for X% of (a heal's) base heal amount" meant to benefit from healing effectiveness?

[cedar pawn]

Is"Last Step of the living boots" still dropping from "Blood, Frost, and Death" ?

I've farmed it for hours , and no single drop, even though it should be common, right?

[maiden brook]

yes

[cedar pawn]

I've got all of these, which should be much rarer

[maiden brook]

rng just be like that sometimes 🤷‍♂️

[cedar pawn]

What's the chance of losing 50% chance roll 7 or 8 times in a row?

[maiden brook]

very low, but it can happen

[cedar pawn]

I'm just making sure it's not a bug, or some random change that happened in recent patch/hot fix

Chat GPT say the chance is 0.4% .. sigh

[fossil dune]

It isn't a bug. It happens. Also that boss has two 50% drops.

And there's no RNG smoothing or anything like that in LE, so sometimes the numbers just.... kinda end up like that

[quartz current]

is autocast multishot broken on channeled flurry? it dosn't seem to proc

i just tested on a dummy and its not wokring

[cedar pawn]

You were right guys, I got it in the 9th run!

I can't imagine trying to farm for LP2 version!

[quartz current]

channeled flurry is definitely broken with autocast multishot

[zinc jolt]

#368968647114227723

[shut bane]

how is loot distributed? I seriously have had 8-10 legendaries drop and my friend (in my group has had 1) - it's driving us nuts trying to figure out why.

[quartz current]

is readied arrows supposed to proc from channeled flurry? - that's an ask the devs question thanks

from the channeling, not from the initial skill use is my question

#tumbleweed

[crude plover]

everyone has instanced loot, it is not "distrubuted", your friend is just unlucky / you're lucky.

[lethal linden]

why are pings high since 0.9g ?

its even worse with party

[surreal snow]

What does the Turbulence node exactly do, devs? Under Abyssal Echoes Sentinel tree.

Duration of what exactly? Does it affect any damages? How is it influenced by popping of Abyssal Echoes by another skill? How does Potent Corruption node from the same skill affect Turbulence?

Thanks in advance for clearing up the potential confusion.

[pine dome]

If you can post a screenshot of the node, it will save Mike some time

[surreal snow]

Didn't know, sure will do

[placid plinth]

There are many #555817861529075713 being posted here. I'm not going to reply to each of them but each should go to the forums instead.

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[placid plinth]

They are fresh stacks

[placid plinth]

So from what I can tell it's working as intended. Endurance protects damage dealt to your health only so even if your threshold was double your health somehow, damage dealt to mana shouldn't be affected.

It's not granting you DR if your health is inside the threshold. It's more like it's granting your health DR.

[placid plinth]

Agro is based on range to target. Being larger means you are naturally closer to everything so you pull more threat. Also being larger means you intercept more projectiles.

Being larger is good if you're a tanky character. So if you want your companion to tank for you, increasing their size will help.

[merry lake]

Hi All, is there a way to target minion only on controller. im using a controller with manifest armor shield throw.. either my character is throwing it at a mob most of the time.

[placid plinth]

It's there but a little old. Check out the media page, link at the bottom. It really needs some of the recent splash arts.

[merry lake]

controller compatibility with some skills work with no issue but when it comes to targeting minion it doesnt work. with left you move and point general direction of the character. the problem is at that "gneral direction" there's enemy, enemies or minion.

[placid plinth]

No, it just throws in that direction and finds the first target.

[merry lake]

thanks Mike W, so for build that you specifically target minion only it would not work then? is that correct?

for example in this scenario and build the shield throw doesnt do much damage on mobs but its the damage from my minion when hit by throw shield that makes the damage.

if i keep hitting the mobs then dps is not really there

[placid plinth]

Yea, you'd have to position yourself specifically to hit the minion first or hope that it could ricochet to it.

[merry lake]

are you guys looking into this? or improve targeting using controller to minion?

[placid plinth]

Not specifically. We are improving the controller functionality in general.

[merry lake]

controller for most part works fine. ive played only with controller and i can say its pretty solid on combat.. not good on inv management and this minion targeting just fails. rip blood golem and now this shield throw to manifest armor

[crude plover]

how do you guys generally feel about stun avoidance as a stat in its current state? in my opinion enemies shouldn't all inherently stun but instead only more telegraphed and obvious attacks that should stun. Usually if you get a lot of hp you stop really getting stunned but there are some high ehp but low actual hp builds out there and there will most likely only be more in the future, that need to build quite a lot of stun avoid to not get stunned atleast once at every pack of enemies.

[placid plinth]

Pretty good. I think it adds a mechanically distinct defensive layer that becomes very important later in the endgame

[crude plover]

anathor question, how do you guys feel about the state of defensive layers / options in the game right now? do you guys think it's pretty much balanced like you want it or are there some options that synergize a little too well / little with some mechanics / other layers. And do you think it should be possible to become an unkillable raidboss or do you want players to always atleast be somewhat on their toes and have to pay attention to atleast some things?

[placid plinth]

While there is always room for improvement and we will continue to make adjustments to relative powers of defensive layers, it is generally in a pretty good state I think.

Completely trivializing boss mechanics with overwhelmingly large defense is not expected. This often comes with exceptionally slow kills and really boring gameplay.

[maiden nimbus]

Is the $1000 make a unique tier going to reopen at any time? I have an idea for a unique I would love to see incorporated. 👀

[slow ivy]

We've done a bunch of Build Contests for new/updated unique items, to try to make sweet builds. Thinking outside the box, etc.
If the Devs could pick a unique item for a contest, which Unique would it be?

[placid plinth]

We are still slowly catching up on the pending items. Each one actually costs us money too. We don't know what will happen with it in the future yet. We won't open it up pre-1.0

[placid plinth]

I don't know all the ones you've done so far but I would do something silly like pick a quiver on a non-rogue class or something.

[surreal pebble]

Been playing around with Jelkhors blast knife and was wondering if itd be possible to make it so when Detonating arrow was used as a melee attack it still procced the Marksman mastery bonus, 25% attack speed wouldnt break it itd just make it feel smoother and right now I'm struggling to find a reason to even put a single point into the Marksman tree while using this item... Thoughts on this?

Just to add, I really like the concept but the fact theres almost ZERO synergy with the mastery that you are forced to play is pretty rough

[opaque falcon]

Mike woke up today and chose violence

[placid plinth]

I think logical exceptions like this are generally not ideal and it's often better to put that same effect on the item creating the situation instead.

[surreal pebble]

soooo 25% attack speed on Jelkors? Now that WOULD be OP... because you wouldnt need to stack the buff and you could use two plus LP, seems like it could get silly vs just letting the mastery work as intended

Even just making the marksman mastery trigger off melee attacks seems more sensible, no ones using the marksman mastery for melee outside of this one specific unique item anyway?

[placid plinth]

what I mean is you could put an effect on the weapon that just is the same effect as the mastery bonus or say on the item that the mastery bonus works with that one edge case. Just make it only apply with with weapon and say that on the weapon.

if hypothetically, that was a desirable thing to do

[surreal pebble]

Thats exactly what I was asking for, maybe I worded it poorly sorry. But yes exactly thats what id like to see!

It would definitely help the overall feel of the build and atleast make it so you get a little something for having to spec marksman, if it also worked for the nodes on the far right of marksman that add to the bow mastery passive effect itd really help fill out some areas in which the build lacks and give you a reason to dump 50+ points into marksman as right now I dont even think I'm gonna reach 20 😂

[ocean sorrel]

any plans to bring MTX to offline? I kinda want my backpack lol

[tight spoke]

I'm sure its been asked plenty of times before but is there any plans on letting us try and craft idols or change the outcome/implicts of Idols ?

[static vale]

It has (since they were added) & no (or at least, as no as the devs ever get).

[tight spoke]

Thank you. it was just something that always bugged me and ive always wanted to just know why but i'll stick with this. I would figure its just another layer of RNG

[placid plinth]

It can be good to leave clear paths for expansion...

[placid plinth]

Not at the moment.

[shadow peak]

@placid plinth When can we see a chat box overhaul, This thing is clunky, like shifting a synchronized transmission without rev matching and no clutch.

We need a button to reply to the last person who messaged us, In games like WoW this was R it automatically messaged back the person who messaged you.

Why is there a chat filter enabled in party chat? If we wana drop an F bomb to a friend out of frustration we cant, Can we get the party chat filter lifted?

Why are we not able to switch between global chat channels, why are party members in different global channels?

Will we ever see specific community handled chat channels like /global 800, specific for trading or grouping?

Can we have chat tabs to separate whispers from other chats?

Where is chat channel time stamps?

There is a chat profanity filter why do we have to deal with this over zealous chat filter that prevents us from even saying stuff like "please send toe pics"

Why cant we move the chat box?

Will we ever be able to change the color of the chat in our chat box? Im color blind and the replies are impossible for me to see against some backgrounds of the game.

Why do some of the community support/moderators not show up as tagged users in the chat box?

Seems like there is alot of problems with CM using ALL chat to communicate across all global channels instead of just one channel, seems tacky.

Why are we able to message offline players but never get a response they are offline?

I have a million more questions these are just a few.

[zinc jolt]

also #368968647114227723

[placid plinth]

We will continue to make improvements and add features to the chat window.

/R replies

Because you might be in a party with randoms and we erred on the side of caution.

There aren't multiple global chat channels at the moment.

Maybe

Probably eventually

Don't think it's available at the moment.

Because we are still working out what is a false positive on the filter.

Because we don't have customizable UI

Maybe, we are still working on accessibility options on many fronts.

Bugs

Once again, there is only one global channel. We can send out announcements to everyone that doesn't matter what is on.

Bugs

[visual oriole]

does the +200% melee damage get converted when you change from melee to ranged vines?

[ionic mesa]

ELP WHAT DO I DO TO FIX (trying to invite someone to my party)

nvm i fix

she on hardcore

[placid plinth]

no

[cedar pawn]

I find Black Hole tooltip damage is weirdly affected by "cast speed" , even though the skill have Cooldown and can't be spammed

Does cast speed affect Pulsar, or Binary System, or any other node in Black Hole? Or that's a bug?

[placid plinth]

it might be getting weighted too high or something but it should have a tiny effect.

[visual oriole]

how big is the attack radius of melee great vines?

[feral shadow]

The Serpent Strike node "Corrosive Venom" says in the description that it reduces armor and poison resistance, yet the stats on it only mentions armor shred and there's no mention of any poison resistance shred. So does this node reduce poison resistance or not?

[visual oriole]

does this apply for tranforming into another form?

[signal sage]

Any idea on when 9.1 is coming?

[quartz current]

when skeletal mages use sacrifice, is it benefited by skills you put in your sacrifice spell?

[slow ivy]

Yes

[fossil dune]

No

[midnight jewel]

Why are there 2 in-game chat filters?

[frank trellis]

Question: i didnt find a single 2-3 lp Item that Had Mid to high Base stats. Is It: the higher the LP the lower the Base stats?

[slow ivy]

This is a weirdly worded question. No, there is no relationship like that.

You might be interested to learn about "lp level" though. I have a video on YT about it - it's a relative # that represents how rare it is to find a unique item with LP. It's not listed in game, but is listed on LeTools.com

[green tapir]

After some research, I finally found something that can explain how my minions do damage, it's not clear in game that they have skills and what they are.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/bone_golem
I wonder if Devs plans to add Minion skills to their tooltips or to somewhere else? I really miss that when comparing and chosing skills.
Right now, it's really unclear what damage my Bone Golem does, and even their total health is annoying not showing up in the tooltip and we need to calculate based on Scaling info.
It would also be a great QoL to have the skills modifiers showing in the skill tooltip as well, so we do not need to go on each skill node in they sklll tree to realize what the specialized skill is doing

[slow ivy]

#368968647114227723 #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[pine chasm]

There is a server-level filter for stuff EHG cares about, and a profanity filter you can toggle for other stuff that you might personally care about. They are still being worked on, they lean on being overly-restrictive at the moment.

[honest narwhal]

How will Offline Players / Characters get new Content from Updates to the game? How will it work?

[pine chasm]

Same as online at the same time, minus the things that need online to function (party play, trading, leaderboards, etc.). Saves them effort to not maintain multiple game versions.

[fossil dune]

Download update. New stuff added. Play game. Not sure why you'd think different.

[random quartz]

Devs going to drive to his house and install from usb

[fossil dune]

I'll go start making some muffins then, I did say I wanted to get EHG some.

[midnight jewel]

I find it a redundant and stupid system. Why have a player controlled one when the global filter will still censor it? Hell, I have even sent messages that had no profanity or mention of anything bad, I was literally talking about the game and it was censored. Would be nice if it told me what the problem word was, but you know cant expect something that sophisticated.

I would say remove the EHG controlled chat filter and let the players have full control of what they want and dont want to see.

[fossil dune]

They are still being worked on, they lean on being overly-restrictive at the moment.

Please read

[honest narwhal]

Y‘all are very funny. No I was just asking since Offline Character allow the ability to cheat ingame stuff (for whatever purpose) and how it would function (need for just download of the update or also connection to the game server at some point of time)…

[pine chasm]

It's handled through Steam exclusively

[fossil dune]

Offline is able to be edited not because they want it to happen but because they can't really do anything to stop it since it's a local file system and all.

[midnight jewel]

I can read just fine, I guess having an opinion and stating my reasoning warrants a condescending comment. Right?

[honest narwhal]

Aight thanks

[pine chasm]

#368968647114227723

[fossil dune]

When you completely ignore the biggest piece of information regarding your issue, yes, I get condescending.

[midnight jewel]

I would say you have a severe lack of reading comprehension skills if that is all you took from my reply on why I think its a stupid system. @pine chasm gave a more appropriate response to use feedback, but I posted it here anyways.

[honest narwhal]

I suppose offline characters won’t get In Game Skins anytime soon since it requires online connection to verify right?

I would like to see some sort of „you can login online with your offline characters and have the skins if you login through this procedure - but if you are offline 100% then no skins“

[fossil dune]

go ahead, insult me more, it's doing you wonders

[tall geyser]

member when ask the devs was used for, well, that reason

ya'll need to chill if you want this channel staying, amazing it's still here when this is such a constant thing

[sand pawn]

Asked Averielle in-game, said Mike might have an answer: Are higher tier affixes harder to seal with Glyphs of Despair?
And if so what are the (approximate, I'm totally fine with keeping the mystery) values?

Asking because I haven't sealed a single T4+ affix yet in 15 Despairs or so, while I've sealed many T2

[placid plinth]

Yes, sealing a T4 is extremely mega difficult. Sealing is easier on exalted items. Sealing a T1 on an exalted is almost guaranteed. Sealing a T4 on a non-exalted is almost anti-guaranteed.

I don't know what the actual chances are off the top of my head, so it's not quite that extreme. I haven't sealed a T4 myself yet.

[teal lantern]

Might be off topic / wrong chat, but will there be job opportunities for contract work? Would LOVE to get the opportunity to work for this game (software engineer) although, leaving my main job is not an option at the moment.

[sand pawn]

I see, thanks for answering!
Is there a particular reason that this information is hidden, or is it just one of those small QoL-things that hasn't been added yet?
Just knowing that the affix tier has an impact feels like some fairly crucial information for such a rare material. Not a critique, just curious!

[placid plinth]

There are some fields that we do contract work with. Mostly art. The onboarding time for a development focused role is large enough that we generally only want to do that with someone we are going to have stick around for a while.

We do put all the postings available on our careers page https://eleventhhour.games/careers

[placid plinth]

I think this line is in the item's description:

Chance to seal is higher when crafting on affixes of lower tiers, and is also higher for exalted items and items with more affixes.```

[sand pawn]

Oooh, my bad I'm blind

[celest ridge]

How to fix connection to online games? It wont let my friend load any online characters it says lost connection to game servers.

[south cedar]

Have you contacted support yet like I recommended before?

[kind nexus]

Also please stop spamming multiple channels. We are actively trying to help you in another channel

[placid plinth]

If you would like #support please use the contact form in the top right corner of the support site to contact support.

[honest narwhal]

I was wondering. Since Averielle told me to come here: Multiplayer characters (including the beta multiplayer characters) will enter a legacy cycle / standard online. How will the update / cycle mechanic work on offline characters (including beta offline characters)? Will these offline characters also get the updates and changes introduced with the cycles at some point or are they simply out of luck?

[cold panther]

They dont want to maintain multiple versions of the game so I guess its likely that everyone will get all updates

[opaque falcon]

Sorry to mention this again but I believe I put a small mention about patrol mob movement speed last week somewhere but wonder if other devs here have been told and have seen issues with this.

Patrol speed seems to be random and often times with builds with very little mobility you're stuck waiting for it to come full circle or cut them off to get an echo done quickly or a quest in campaign. Would there be consideration to be sure all patrol types are set to 1 speed and slow it down?

[kind nexus]

#368968647114227723 or #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[south cedar]

Is there a reason the Void Knight isn't corrupted like others are when they come in contact with it? Is he just overpowering it with his will?

[placid plinth]

Basically yea, it's using a very small amount of it too.

Contact with the Epoch itself helps too.

[south cedar]

Very cool, probably my favorite class flavorwise and gameplay too

[celest pond]

the story / lore in this game is growing on me, is there some sort of codex menu for story / lore in the future? i know there are bigger priorities atm but yea i never paid attention to the story in ARPG before this one

[south cedar]

The time travel aspect and how we keep meeting people at different points in time is very endearing

[celest pond]

yes not to mention with different gods, if i can fight or even allied with one of em in the future like in Grim Dawn that is goin to be unique but im still at chapter 3 so who knows.

[south cedar]

I'm also curious if we'll see the gods rise to power as we explore more of the ancient era cause I know the dragons fell early on

[lime escarp]

will you guys add /played

[placid plinth]

we want to, we ran into a slight snag with it

[rapid fractal]

Hopefully not. I like to have plausible deniability. 👀

[tight spoke]

Regarding the story i had to laugh when I found myself playing a necromancer using the dead(explodermancer build) to fight The Void ™ but i assume like you said with void knight is there something else keeping Necro from just going all nutso and taking over the world with our undead army and the epoch? Sorry for the silly question

[pearl robin]

I swear sometimes ward is being bypassed by AOE attacks is there a mechanic to bypass ward?

[quasi crown]

Will the last few classes be out anytime soon (:?

[placid plinth]

yes, there is an effect which can bypass ward but it deals %remaining health damage so it can't actually kill you

[placid plinth]

1.0

[placid plinth]

yea, same sort of thing, using bad to do good

[quasi crown]

1.0 .... but what about testing them 🙂 unless 1.0 is testing them!

[placid plinth]

there will likely be a few closed tests with the CT program but the first release of them will be 1.0

[pearl robin]

Alot of HC players bypass the last part of the questline and go into monoliths "early" is this something we can expect to keep in the game or will it leave later?

[haughty shale]

Good evening,
Do you plan to add %increased item rarity/quantity affixes ? Or maybe a rare affixe/blessing that increase the chance to get LP on an unique item ?

Another question, are you thinking of adding rarer blessing in each monolyth ?

[placid plinth]

we don't plan to remove it, however you are missing out on the campaign bonus by not completing the main story quests.

[primal turtle]

Will monolith progress be shared between characters at some point in future?

[placid plinth]

No. We very intentionally do not place any sort of magic find bonuses in the same slot as a player power bonus. This is why the blessings which have these types of bonuses don't have any power bonuses.

As for an increased LP blessing, that's technically possible but would be so much better than all the others that we probably wouldn't do it.

You can increase the odds of finding specific items with LP by increasing the quantity of them which drop through increased unique drop rate and increasing the drop rate of that type of item base.

[boreal sand]

some skills and, subsequently, builds have higher damage ceilings than others - will this be balanced going forwards or are early game skills meant to be weaker than class skills?

[placid plinth]

We don't have plans for this at the moment given the potential to get characters into a spot where you can't progress in the monolith at all.

[placid plinth]

Some skills and builds will always have higher damage ceilings than others. This is a reality of the game genre. We do strive to have as many fun, diverse and viable builds as possible. This is reflected in the balance changes that we implement in every major patch.

[spring tulip]

do you guys have any plans to buff melee a bit, right now all my ranged characters just feel smoother due to higher damage output

[placid plinth]

I don't have any details on upcoming balance changes.

[winter pendant]

@placid plinth I'm locked out of Empowered The last ruin. Can you look at my screen? I even reinstalled the game and still locked out

[pine chasm]

Mike can't really provide #support here. You could post a screenshot to #❔┃ask-the-community for a potentially quicker response

[placid plinth]

I already replied in a DM, which you shouldn't attempt to open for #support requests.

[winter pendant]

thanks

[ocean sorrel]

why not

[grim crystal]

plans for boosting leveling when you already made 2 or 3 whole runs (played trough the main story and level an character to highest level) ?

[winter pendant]

yea, the support website is so bad

I cant even find where to report my issue

[winter pendant]

yea, did that all i want to do is open a ticket

and report my issue

[placid plinth]

if you just want to make a bug report please do that on the forums.

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[placid plinth]

it sounds like you've already opened a support ticket though

[placid plinth]

not at the moment, you can get a rush from a friend though to speed things up if you want

[winter pendant]

also why am I forced on central severs with 400 MS when I'm located on the East coast,

[placid plinth]

I'm not actually sure, probably a security issue of some sort.

[grim crystal]

there is an boost system for coop play O_o ?

[placid plinth]

you can portal to friends so you can get help from a high level friend

[grim crystal]

ah

k

so no real coop

[placid plinth]

no, there is coop

[winter pendant]

yes there is coop

[grim crystal]

is there an feature faq i can read of coop play ?

my wife is also interested in the game thats why i ask

[winter pendant]

you can play any time with a friend and share in the same quest and progress

at any time

[placid plinth]

When you first attempt to connect to a server, it sends a ping to each region to see which will be the fastest. It then picks that one. It is successfully picking the server region with the lowest ping in this check. However, the type of check that it is doing can become deprioritized by certain network infastructure. This can cause it to be slower than usual and return a worse time to a nearby region.

It is pretty rare that this is an issue but people who are affected, are consistently affected.

We are going to introduce a different method of checking this to get more accurate and consistent results.

We are also going to introduce a method to manually override your server region so you can pick where you are if necessary.

[placid plinth]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036

[winter pendant]

why not just make it easy and allow us to pick our sever location

[grim crystal]

i check it out now thx

[placid plinth]

"We are also going to introduce a method to manually override your server region so you can pick where you are if necessary."

made me do a double take to make sure I actually typed that in the initial reply

[winter pendant]

yea i kinda skipped that

lol

[winter pendant]

ok so I checked my internet settings and I had IPV6 turned off. My issue looks fixed for the internet side

[hallow rapids]

Is there any roadmap for expected features/releases? Or priority list that the dev team is working on?

[winter pendant]

are you guys really going to knerf Lich in the next build ?

[placid plinth]

no but we are looking into the possibility of making one. It's not a huge list between now and release.

[placid plinth]

We don't generally release details about upcoming balance changes like that. As far as I know, we haven't made any balance change announcements at all.

Also, please read #rules 8

[grim crystal]

any plans on an decoy Boss we can fight to practice skills,movement and momentum ? (like an puppet we can setup with specific skills and movement)

thats an feedback

[alpine locust]

oops

[placid plinth]

no

[grim crystal]

ok

[pliant citrus]

does reaper form have a timer? i sometimes get kicked out of it without running out of health and then can get back into it right away

[placid plinth]

technically yes but it's extremely extremely high.

it's about 2:45

[boreal sand]

just to reply back to your response regarding the skill balance and damage ceilings - is it the goal of devs to make all skills viable in terms of end game because although some might have higher damage ceilings, perhaps others can give increased survivability?

[placid plinth]

The goal is to have as many skills be viable as possible. I word it this way because the definition of viability is wildly different depending on who you talk to.

[rapid fractal]

The drain gets high enough where you’re losing use hp/sec so it could just look like you’re suddenly dropping out but you either got clipped by something that knocked you out of it or you were out of combat and got drained of everything

[pliant citrus]

i was in the middle of a pack of mobs and my death seal was active xD

[rapid fractal]

Oh

Yeah you’ll blink out of it

Probably got stunned and stopped draining for a second

[narrow beacon]

Thank y'all so much! I had specifically tabbed into this chat to ask about this (as us-central starts seeing increased load) - was curious if it was a sharding issue, carriers pulling some QoS nonsense, cloud pulling some cloud nonsense, or just me being insane. 100% reproducible.

[teal trail]

JustinC posted ~6d ago on the forums that they have sacrifice fixed internally so i was wondering, is there any ETA on the next bugfix patch?

[placid plinth]

no eta

[little raptor]

have you given up on telling people not to @ you in replies? lol

[placid plinth]

yup

I turned off the ping from it here for me anyways.

[little raptor]

rip lol

[static vale]

Any & all of those can be the case at any given moment.

[flat meadow]

does this mod have a chance to proc a 2nd time if it goes over 100%? (primalist relic)

also for the no pinging issue maybe you can bold it somewhere in the top of the channel in the title or the text next to it so more people can see it lol

[teal trail]

they still don't read "no support issues or bugs"

[flat meadow]

tru

[placid plinth]

no, 200% is the same as 100%

and we have plans in the works to do a little overhaul of our discord which will include a revamp of how we do this channel.

[flat meadow]

cool thx!

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, does minion cdr reduce the cooldown of the companion's ability that you cast yourself? (like crowstorm, howl, etc...)

[placid plinth]

no

[spare hawk]

Is it 2 minutes and 45 seconds or 2 hours and 45 minutes? I ask because 2 minutes and 45 seconds doesn't sound extremely high for me. (reaper form timer)

[clever night]

Are improvements to controller support coming?

[placid plinth]

Hours

[placid plinth]

Yes

[narrow beacon]

.....now I kinda want to figure out how to keep reaper up for 2h45m

[clever night]

I'd love to offer help, I'm a c5 quadriplegic using the adaptive controller along with Xbox controller

[spare hawk]

is there a chance that we have at least one of the missing skills in 0.9.1?

[placid plinth]

It's actually slightly more

[placid plinth]

Low chance, we are focusing on mastery skills right now

[narrow beacon]

General silly question, but are there other skills that share that same upper time boundary? Seems like an interesting limitation.

[placid plinth]

The best way to help with it is to leave feedback on the forums.

[placid plinth]

Yea, we do that pretty frequently as a fail-safe. It's generally set so high that you'll never hit it unless some exploit is found.

[narrow beacon]

Neat! Thanks.

SecEng by trade, had to ask 🙂

[spare hawk]

mastery main skills? will it be reworked?

[placid plinth]

No, the 3 missing masteries

[eternal galleon]

Unsure if this is the correct chat but I was looking to find out if the mechanic I was trying to build around was intentional. The belt Azurrals Fury gives you a buff that says "Your mana does not regenerate" and drains it at an accelerating rate. I had thought that you could still "Gain" mana through skills like Mana strike or Vengeance so I leveled a Vengeance character with more mana gain on hit than the consumption on the belt to try and sustain the buff.

This does not work, the skill does not gain any mana during the buff. Was wondering if this was intended and if y'all might change your minds on it? 😅

Or at least update the ALT text so no one else does what I did haha. Figured it might work similarly to fury or w/e the druid transform resource was called

[azure socket]

The Shockwave subskill from Upheaval is supposed to benefit from the Glacial Crash (Phys/Cold pen) node since the bonus isn't conditional, right?

[placid plinth]

yes

[azure socket]

Thanks

[placid plinth]

I took a quick peek and from what I can see it's just giving you the stat 100% less mana regen. It shouldn't interact with mana gain effects at all.

[lavish ice]

Hi, started playing void knight warpath few days ago, getting some bugs with it, i tried warpath even before release of 0.9 when was testing and it looks like its still same bugged, when do u have in plan to fix? examples, no animation on spinning, thats not so bad, but had bug where my char was spining, just character spin, no skill effect (circle) and was doing 0 dmg

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have any information on the status of bug fixes. We catalogue and prioritize bugs from the forums. If you would like to get a bug looked at, either add to an existing or open a new bug report on the forums.

[fiery lily]

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

[lavish ice]

ok thx, im sure it was reported alot of times since alot ppl actually play it

[placid plinth]

you'd be surprised, I bet it's not there

[lavish ice]

i check it

its there

tons of things about warpath

[crude plover]

What's your philosophy for balancing? Is it kinda like Poe where you just add whatever sounds cool, let the players find a way to make something really strong using it and then balance the mobs and bosses around the current power of the players builds

Or (the one it seems like to me) do you carefully evaluate every item and mechanic put into the game to make sure it's not too strong?

As in are the mobs balanced based on the players or the players based on the mobs.

[quartz current]

if a minion is physical and cold, does it scale 0.5 x physical and 0.5 x cold, or do different abilities of the minion scale with physical and others with cold?

[flint bloom]

Different abilities have different base dmg, so will scale independantly. Bone golem for instance, when specd into frost golem, gains an ice spell, but keeps the old phys bone nova. So it will say it scales with both cold and phys, but each skill is different. Places like lastepochtools show all the minion skills, so you can see the base dmg of them

[lyric mulch]

Will there be any Option in the future to make the appearance of Shards bigger/other Colors?
I dont mind that we cant filter them - but i would love an option to make them appear bigger and/or in other colors where i could see them better

[ashen moss]

anyone knows why i cant choose 5/5 in this skill?

i have a spare point, but it wont allow me to use it on it

[zinc jolt]

but also

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[ashen moss]

oh i figured it out

this gives one skill point to physical skills

but choosing 5/5 removes physical tag

so the game was not able to do that point as there would not be enough points

leveling up twice did allow me to do 5/5

[cursive basin]

does the charged ground node 'electrocuting cascade' (Deal 15% more dmg per 10% crit multi) scale with SPELL crit multi too? or does it strictly have to be pure crit multi?

[spare hawk]

will it be possible to use an exalted item purchased by a merchant's guild to craft a legendary item (not purchased), and equip this legendary on a circle of fortune

[pine chasm]

No, legendaries retain all faction requirements from the items used to craft them

[placid plinth]

No

[rapid fractal]

Does the Healing Winds node in Maelstrom scale with Maelstrom stacks?

[placid plinth]

Not unless it says it does

[rapid fractal]

Ty

[placid plinth]

Colors? maybe. size? it would be all or nothing. The height of the ground item labels needs to be consistent.

fair enough with the size - i would be fine with other Colors (would like a more brighter one for Shards)

What was the decision for Foe Cleaver node in the Rive tree to be behind 3 layers of Bound Weapon? Is it to stop it from being too generically good for Sentinel builds that'd use Rive? I'm not being critical of it, I'm just curious about it from a balancing stand point

[peak lynx]

I havent come across all the uniques and set pieces yet, but for primalist, it seems shaman, werebear and spriggan form are all represented. Is there any swarmblade specific items Im missing?

Also. Are there any plans to support Valve Steam Deck

[placid plinth]

I'm extremely suspicious of the claim of how PoE does it. I appreciate that it might feel like that sometimes but I'm sure they make balance changes carefully and with purpose.

As with PoE, many player builds have emerged that we never intended to be possible and we have had to react accordingly. We work hard not to remove a build from viability.

Player feedback is a valuable tool for balance changes.

So I think overall, the game is balanced around the game.

[placid plinth]

There are definitely swarmblade skewed uniques but there aren't any as "on the nose" swarmblade only items yet.

[placid plinth]

nothing specific, many people are using it very successfully already but we won't be looking to it as an officially supported platform until post-1.0

[peak lynx]

any chance of naming a few? I have no idea what to fish for! 😄

[peak lynx]

Disappointing. But thanks for the answer 🙂

[placid plinth]

Fragment of the Enigma is really good on the "Lightning Bug" build.

[peak lynx]

sweet. Will start the farm. Thanks

[red arch]

is there a problem whit Monaliths or is it on my end sometimes it just keep loading and i have to ALT+f4 just wanna know if you want me to report it ?

[peak lynx]

Whats the priority for EHG at the moment with the state of the game. The server instability when playing MP is quite crippling to enjoyment. Im not sure how many suffer from it. But I cant stream it when when doing so, otherwise it makes the game look a little ordinary.

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

[placid plinth]

We have different teams working on different things, the back end engineering team is primarily working on stability and performance.

[peak lynx]

Alrighty. Thanks!

[crude plover]

are the developer stream scheduled and at regular intervals or just random? and do you guys announce them anywhere?

[lone sable]

Hey mike if you see this, i wanted to ask your idealogy on masteries. It’s very easy to respec in this game thankfully compared to poe, but are you against with people changing or resseting their mastery? I just don’t know if y’all are HARD SET on it

Fridays at 3PM CT (<t:1682712000:t> - your local timezone)
there should be a schedule on our twitch page and we generally say it in #news I think

[placid plinth]

We view the game as having 15 classes. It's a core piece of identity to the character. You spend all this time becoming that class. You grow into it and hone your skills as that specific class. Being able to change this core aspect of your character would be on the same level as changing an Acolyte into a Sentinel.

While nothing is completely set in stone, we have had a recent discussion on this and there was little support for making it something that is changeable.

[lone sable]

Ohh okay I understand that point of view

[peak lynx]

As someone who suffers from severe altholism, are there any plans to be able to skip the campaign at all. Having done the campaign around 16 times in the last 2-3 weeks.. gets kind of old 🙂

[placid plinth]

We do plan to expand the campaign skip options that are already present in the dungeons by adding more dungeons. We are also taking a look at how the T1 of each dungeon fits into the leveling pattern (making them easier).

[peak lynx]

Leveling by dungeon is good. You just need to have enough keys to be able to run them. Which isnt too hard with multipole alts.. but if you say, run the game 3 times, youre not likely to have a hell of a lot,making dungeon running for levels a little harder

[crude plover]

hey mike, i know this is almost a bug report but i just wanted to ask a technical question, when this happens, is it the server not being 100% synced with the client and them disagreeing if you're dead or not or is it actually possible to be at 0 hp and survive?

[placid plinth]

probably, the server is what actually knows if you're dead or not. I think what happened was you hit some number of HP between 0 and 0.5 (exclusive) and the UI rounded to 0 which brought up the death screen but the server knew you weren't actually dead.

[crude plover]

that makes sense, thanks

[vague holly]

Still no news at all bout ladder coming?

[placid plinth]

Goal is still next content patch.
