Will 1.0 come with Necro buffs? Really important question that determines 1.0's mass appeal and success. 🙂

Thanks for trying, Mike. I still have faith.

#

I can answer, there will be Necro buffs

#

instead the devs will coming to the houses of all the necro mains and make you watch as they delete the class

placid plinth
#

not quite

Yeah, probably not

But until it happens we can't know for sure

Mike, does the increased idol droprate blessing work on the idol shrines?

cerulean nymph
#

how does the potion chance drop scale with empty potion slots, is it an increase per empty slot, increase per percentage empty, or just a flat increase when any slot is empty?

livid stirrup
#

Why does this roll over at 1 billion? Can this be changed so it doesn't roll over back to zero ? Would be nice to have sort of a "tree ring count" type thing for toons you spend a lot of time playing. edit: bonus points if you add another line under it for "Account XP:" so we can see our total farming prowess (for good or bad, hah). that part could maybe update only on login, not dynamically (save on server load)

this is what i could find (sorry if posting it here is wrong just wanted to make sure anyone else that was wondering could see it too)

seems like the gold blessing effects the gold shrine, and you gave a maybe to the idols before, so it seems like it's very likely idol shrines are affected by the idol blessing.

Any major things planned for 1.0 besides Falconer, Warlock and factions? Set item upgrades, maybe? Class reworks? New endgame systems?

(General recommended I ask this one here.)

The Enigma node (turns Runic Invocation into a traversal skill) says "Whenever you directly cast an Invocation you blink to the target location first" in its text description, but then the statline says "Blink Forward After Cast".

Which is it, before or after?

For instance, if I'm standing in a Glyph of Dominion, and I cast Runic Invocation with Enigma targeting a spot outside of my Glyph, will the Invocation I cast benefit from my "standing in Glyph" buffs?

can the same target that procs these get hit by the frost spikes?

#

Does Crest of Unity interact with Runic Invocation's Elemental Starfield in any way? I hear conflicting information that the helmet disables the 3 novas and only one proccs.
Does Crest actually disable the single novas, or just makes it unable to be directly cast?

I'd have to go in and check to be sure. Can check later if you remind me. Generally, if an item conflicts with a node, the item just wins.

#

No worries Mike. This is your first reminder 😄

What is the travel distance of "Shield Throw" when it does not make contact with anything? Already reported it as a bug just in case.

heady wyvern
#

I wanted to make sure it was an intended interaction...Because my LP got the frost claw on it the relic now locks to only the mage class? Why wouldn't it just be allowed to be put on but not get a benefit from non class related affixes?

(As if you try to make an legendary with a unique that already has a class requirement, using an exalted that would cause a different class requirement prevents the craft altogether)

#

What is the scope of "additional buffs" in Eterra's Blessing's Tranquil Spirit node?

  • The base minion melee damage buff? (size is clearly granted so I presume it still does this)
  • Other functionality in the EB tree that aren't explicitly buffs? (Purge)
  • Effects triggered by casting spells that don't come from the EB tree? (an item that gave haste on cast for example)

If I use Hammer Throw, Smite has the Descend node active, and I also were to have the Adorned Rahyeh Idol "Chance to cast Smite on hit with throwing attacks" Would this cause my Hammer Throws to cause me to have the opportunity to teleport every 6 seconds with Smite?

You have to manually cast it, I guess the tooltip needs an update.

placid plinth
#

I guess triggered counts as instant?

lone ginkgo
#

are triggered skills targeted ? 👀 the tooltip also says "teleport to target location"

crude plover

for the harbinger of stars belt it'll target the nearest enemy when triggered

you cant stack this multiple times on the same ballista right?

I asked it weirdly

placid plinth
#

it can get both the fire and poison buff if two different rogues each use acid flask spec'd differently

somber marten
placid plinth
#

@glass thorn if you didn't see that

somber marten
#

It will still cast a normal smite otherwise tho when triggered

placid plinth
#

right, just the fact that it's traversal does that, my bad

glass thorn
#

oh thats pretty funny

placid plinth
#

yea, so you can both take ballista and acid flask and give each other's ballista extra buffs

Does Doom's effect of "4% increased Melee Damage Taken" apply to the player or the enemy?

Can you bestow upon us the knowledge of how much health the target dummies have? (or how much damage it takes to move their hp bar from full to empty)

placid plinth
crude plover
#

god damn it mike

#

How come holy aura gets the spell tag and aura of decay doesn't? we're having a discussion and i'm speculating it's because holy aura is always on and you activate the bonus effects with the "spell". while aura of decay is just a toggleable aura.

fossil dune
#

Bone Curse keeps its spell tag when made into an aura as well btw

somber marten
#

IF you want to be fair it's because bone curse does damage.

fossil dune
#

But

#

So does AoD

placid plinth
#

no it doesn't

crude plover
somber marten
#

AoD only applies poison stacks, it itself DOESNT do damage

crude plover
#

break it down for us mortals please Mike, i think i kinda get it but not 100%

placid plinth
#

I'm not sure why holy aura has a spell tag before it gets the flame burst node

#

I thought it was reserved for abilities which have a spell damage component

crude plover
#

yeah, did you guys maybe not do dynamic tags when it was made?

placid plinth
#

no

mild rivet
#

AoD and its poisons getting a spell tag would solve a lot of its problems but yeah it seems like an inconsistancy

crude plover
#

but wait, why would it gain the spell tag because of the flame burst node? just because a skill casts a spell doesn't mean it gets that spells tags no? Since things like shatter strike don't get the spell tag from the icicle node

#

petition to remove holy auras spell tag

mild rivet
#

Apostate's amulet user propaganda, but I can't disagree

static vale
mild rivet
#

I know, but if it did, that would solve the issue of it being a pathetic damage skill instead of just a support slot. Give it its own poison spell ailment etc

#

Give it its own poison spell ailment etcThat's different to just giving it the spell tag. But yes. #1123697853882187847

Is there a reason shift doesn't have the traversal AND movement tags? (From LEtools). Wondering because I'm thinking about teleporting ballista with me on shift using the experimental affix that says traversal skill

crude plover
somber marten
kind nexus
#

Yeah nothing to conflict with

#

And no reason it shouldn't be a traversal

mild rivet
#

does smokebomb get a traversal tag? or just movement

#

the backflip

somber marten
#

Doesn't add a tag.

crude plover
#

i think rogue doesn't have the traversal tag on any skills so that their cd's are independant even if you use a few movement abilities

#

kind of a weird reason if so though tbh

mild rivet
kind nexus
#

I guess shuriken or smoke bomb backflip plus shift? But even if shift has traversal, all of that would still work lol

somber marten
#

The only other that breaks this rule is jav banner traversal, which is probably intended.

crude plover
#

since normally all traversal skills share cd

somber marten
#

Yeah the other rogue movement skills do not have traversal, just the movement tag.

crude plover
#

yeah but my point is why would only shift get the traversal tag, since if they add it on any of the other rogue movement skills they'd share cd which i'm guessing they don't want

#

so they opted to put it on none

#

my guess

pine chasm

This might be best moved to another channel btw, maybe even in the 'tag inconsistency' feedback post

(Note:how long has this been unnoticed?)

lapis sage
#

do the + melee physical dmg nodes in the BM tree get converted to cold for ice sabertooth? the tooltip says only the BASE dmg gets converted not anything additional. if the nodes add to the base dmg then it would work but if they don't then based on the wording it wouldn't convert. honestly I could see it going either way?

placid plinth

#

ok so not converted awesome thanks mike

I notice that the Solar Auxiliary enemies don't make sounds. Will they be updated to be on par with the new Rayeh themed enemies?

placid plinth

Not really a bug. More like they are looking old compared to the Solar Invaders.

placid plinth
#

If an enemy makes no sounds at all, that's a bug.

untold forge
crude plover

Included but the limit will also be increased afaik

untold forge
#

yes we just dont know by how much each cycle but hoenstly that all makes sense since then u would have to delete characters and not the game itself

pine chasm
untold forge
#

well if you want to keep one of every mastery just to see the changes plus play 1-2 characters a cycle then yea 20 is too low

#

i feel the number should be number of masteries + 5

#

so if by cycle 2 there isnt new masteries than theres no reason to change, if there is then increase by that number

remote holly
#

Looks like there is deminishing returns on CDR with Runic Invocation? I should have 93% CDR. I have 61% baseline from int/passive tree/gear, and the skill itself has 32% in the skill tree. Taking both nodes that give it +5 and +12 seconds CD each, so total of 17 seconds, my CD is 5.7s, but should be lower than that by a wide margin.

cerulean nymph
#

Because it is not reduced cooldown, it is increased cooldown recovery speed. 100% increased cooldown recovery speed translates into 50% reduced cooldown

remote holly
#

Ah ok, interesting. Thanks.

livid stirrup
#

CDR works that way in pretty much every game. otherwise it'd be possible to reduce long cooldown powerhouse skills to almost no cooldown with some extreme CD stacking

# little grove I see Mike, but there is a issue with the FPS in the game. If ppl do cap the fps...

Implementing DLSS would require upgrading the engine. We do not have the time between now and launch to do that even if we wanted to divert dev time from other features. It would inevitably cause a large number of bugs which would need to be found and fixed. This would likely add a very significant amount of time after the upgrade before we could actually launch. And that's all while most of the other content stagnates.

Every patch comes with updates to the graphics. There is a "patch retrospective" style video that I just saw on youtube which might give you a better feel for how much the graphics have improved already.

Hey Mike, third reminder on that Elemental Nova question 😄

fast spade
crude plover
# fast spade This one

Can't you just put on the helmet and check? I know that's not an answer but I feel like it'd be way quicker than waiting for an answer here lol

fast spade
#

It's not about how it works but how it should work

#

or intended to

placid plinth
#

oh, all I'll be able to get you right now is how it does work

crude plover
#

I think from wording the helmet should take precedent, since it says "always" while the node doesn't specify that the Novas elements have to be of those elements always, just that it'll cast it as those elements by default

#

So it working is consistent with the wording imo

placid plinth
#

if it's not working the way you expect it to or how it should then you can leave a bug report and we will investigate it

fast spade
#

that's the plan 😄

#

But id like to know if its intended to work this way (ie disable individual novas)

placid plinth

So, intended no Starfield interaction

it has been stated that the progress of it wont be shared but it was also stated that no other patch will come out before 1.0, except small fixes of course

the rumor is december because for business and gaming reasons it doesnt make sense to release it before then

can we rephrase this to "since it's only been a month since the last one"? 1 month would be the shortest patch we've done by 2 months I think.

so youre telling me that if u run with someone at 200cc and you are at 600cc u should still get gaze?

rocky leaf

ok, i kinda see that, but it also removes the incentive to group up

untold forge
#

no it doesnt becuse grouping has other benefits

#

but as mike said tolday on the stream they want to make it so that anyone who wants to play solo forever will not suffer

rocky leaf
#

well, they could put in a penalty based on cc difference. like a huge cc diff, then no shared gaze

then you can just buddy with someone and scale cc together without any work

Hi Devs- sorry if this has been asked a bunch-
I am just wondering if there is any sort of timeline around fixing bugged uniques + healing hand skill. I think dev stream once said its mostly based on how easy-to-fix the bugs are, but is there any sort of goal for when the team wants all uniques to be working?

specifically: -paranoia helm, sacrificial embrace gloves, javelin's fork interaction [sierpin's + divine fury]

Runic Invocation's Spell Cascade node says, emphasis mine:
...you also proc a random equipped non-channeling skill of the same element...
Based on this, a couple of questions:

  1. How does Mana Strike work with this?
  2. How does ranged Mana Strike work with this?
  3. What about Flame Reave?
  4. Flame Rush has a node that disables channeling; would it proc off of Runic Invocation then?

Huh. I gave it a shot and what came out of it is Glyph of Dominion not being placed, and Flame Rush not executing (but going on cooldown; maybe it does damage, but I'm not quite sure). Additionally, Mana Strike seems to not use the tree, cos I specced Mana Strike for maximum mana gain and using it by hand gives like 100 mana, and with RI proc it gives like 15. I'll set up a cleaner environment before a test dummy, test it again and submit a bug report if things are not working as you described

I am really struggling to get gold in this game.. I have 2 chars about level 60-70 ish.. casual player.. Got about 15 tabs or something, next one goes for 100K but that takes me days and days.... Also, any chance the gold pickup range can be increased, it seems I'm constantly trying to run over all the gold drops to get anything...
As as suggestion to the devs I would like to suggest the option to clear / sell / trash everything in a particular stash tab with a button. I have about 5 of them of when I just started out and tbh if I have to clear them it is going to be a silly cumbersome effort.

And the chests in T4 are better, so using T3 as a gold sink is iffy

Hi, why does "Descend" perk removes healing ability of "Smite" skill of paladin

somber marten
#

It technically does the 'cast' before you teleport there

#

It doesn't remove the healing. You just can't get healed by the same cast you teleport to.

mild idol
#

Is this the intended way ?

jolly jackal
mild idol
#

Would be so disappointing if this is intented. Because it makes all other perks for healing mostly obselete. It heals only party members which makes it incredibly situational

81% of necromancer builds on lastepochtools.com use dread shade, but some people (myself included) find passive buff skills like that unfun

Is it likely there will be changes prior to official launch to make the necromancer less dependent on this skill, allowing more build variety?

placid plinth
# gritty cosmos 81% of necromancer builds on lastepochtools.com use dread shade, but some people...

I'm not sure that's the best source of data to direct design decisions. We are just starting to leverage data collection from in game to get a better idea of distributions like this. The problem with looking at heat the number of different builds listed is that maybe it's a bunch of people trying to make dread shade work but nobody can quite do it. Maybe those builds are all terrible and really dread shade needs a buff. I don't think this is the case but I'm just using it to illustrate that it isn't enough to go on.

Warlock's addition to the acolyte's arsenal will provide a little shake up to the necro and lich too. I expect to see some new builds surface anyways.

Having said all that, we are constantly looking for ways to enable new playstyles so I'm sure you will see some shake ups at some point. Necro itself just isn't at the top of the list right now.

Pings to devs should be reserved for situations where it is important to get our attention quickly. Pinging a dev so that a piece of feedback gets seen immediately is still inappropriate. We can spend more time working on the game if we come here to answer several questions all at once and aren't bouncing back and forth all the time. Ping "open season" would be bad.

placid plinth

#

They don't, but do its bonuses affect triggered spells?

placid plinth

#

So, yes

#

so it applies to one spell and all its triggerables and with Nimbus Walk this can also be a traversal skill

#

Am I getting that right?"

placid plinth
#

never late applies to the next non-channeled non-traversal spell.

If you have nimbus walk, never late applies to the next non-channeled, non-traversal spell or the next traversal ability, whichever happens first.

fast spade
#

Yeah, so suppose I have allocated both and use Teleport with the triggered Nova nodes allocated. Do all its triggered Novas get the bonus ? Or only the first triggered Nova?

808a10f9636d09408765b8c7a81884f4.png
placid plinth
#

only the next one

#

those are 3 individual spell casts

fast spade
#

Okay, so Teleport does not "consume" it as it does no damage.

#

But Elemental Nova does.

placid plinth
#

no

#

if you have the buff active, teleport will consume it

fast spade
#

Ah

placid plinth
#

but teleport also primes the effect

fast spade
#

Makes sense

#

So, say, if I use Flame Rush that triggers Runic Invocation, both the Rush and the Invocation get the bonus.

#

With both those nodes.

#

but its always one next spell, no matter if triggered or not

I wonder if there is going to be nerfing the bosses before 1.0.... Personally hitting very hard brick walls at around level 70 with 2 of my chars where I just can't get passed orberyss or what is he called. There is a discussion on steam discussion talking about this but not sure anyone from LE ever looks at that. this game is smooth sailing until level 60 and then it hits you with this huge wall where your dps is mediocre and bosses are constantly oneshotting you.. Not because of you having a fair chance but because of silly mechanics.

# somber marten He’s the build check boss. If you get one shot by the claw slam it’s time to ret...

Uhmm... well that is kind of the point here... It doesn't matter what defenses you have. At level 62 orberyss having modifiers with 100+ crit chance and a bunch of others, defense wise there is not much you can do... At that point you cannot expect your character to be 75+% on all resistances and especially not 100% on crit avoidance... It seems to all be a matter of moving at the right time or get one shot.. one shot mechanics are never fun, in any game. And even with 75% on the important resistances the same thing happens.. I think that boss can have like 30+ different abilities. As far as I know the only way to find out what kinds he actually will use is once you get one shot by him. Tbh I've found this game bombards you with tons of loot and yeh the loot filter is absolutely needed in this game but from that maybe 0.1% of loot is somewhat decent or usable. Crafting can only do so much espeically when you constantly run out of scatters which are rare at vendors mostly seeling 2 at most recently.

Also, if his basic non-telegraphed abilities are oneshotting you then that's a very, very clear indication that you need to farm and craft better gear, and maybe look into optimizing your build a smidge

Why are skills that cost 0 mana so clunky to use while being negative mana? Sometimes I can cast my lightning blasts and sometimes I have to wait until positive mana even though its always 0 mana cost

fast spade
#

Just to confirm, these scale only with ignite/shock/chill chance, elemental damage over time and generic damage over time?

E.g. for Brand of Trespass, that means all four work:

  1. Chance to ignite on passive tree
  2. Chance to ignite on hit from weapon
  3. Chance to Ignite on Fire Hit(armor/helmet mod)
  4. More % damage multipliers from Flame Rush
    And for Brand of Deception, that additionally means Shock chance from the skill's tree that triggered it also works?

When I create a filter rule with "Highest usable level", does it only look at my current charecter level, or does it also consider the levels at which new bases drop.

Example: Let's say there is a type of sword that drops from level 10 onwards, and another one the drops from level 20 onwards.
If I'm level 15, the level 10 sword is technically the highest usable level sword, since there is no higher level sword that can drop. Would the rule highlight the level 10 sword?

The ability Ballista Bolt has a scaling of 5% increased attack speed per dexterity.

A summoned Ballista can't gain benefits for ability scaling through attributes itself and therefore effectively uses 0 Dexterity for this calculation in all situations. (this is how all non-player actors work)

If they player were to somehow manually use the ability Ballista Bolt, it would have that scaling.

Oh, so the Ballista Bolt is used by the Ballista but since the Ballista doesn't have the dexterity, it has no effect for that.

hoi Mike, just posting a question for confirmation's sake, based on this thread on the reddit forum that you answered.

Which of these did you mean/is intended, going by the example of ocearon?

  1. "more more" is a typo, and it should simply say "more".

  2. "more more" increases the effectiveness of every "more" multiplier that applies, by 1% per stack of shock. Example: I "deal 50% more damage", equip ocearon, and the enemy has 10 Shocks on it. My 50% more damage becomes 55%.
    [This one feels like it makes the most sense, but doesn't align with your second comment in the screenshot as far as I can tell.]

  3. "more more" gives you a static "more" damage multiplier, for each other "more" multiplier you have. Example: I have "deal 5% more damage" from three different sources, equip Ocearon, and the enemy has 10 Shocks on it. Ocearon gives me 10% more damage for each source of more damage, causing me to multiply 1.05 three times, and 1.1 three times also.
    [This one is more out there, but it's how I read the interpretation the second comment gives which you confirm in the screenshot.]

# mild rivet hoi Mike, just posting a question for confirmation's sake, based on this thread ...

Any stat can appear as added, increased or more.

Some stats can only actually work as added and any time they show up as increased or more it's effectively a nothing stat.

Some stats are designed to only be included as added only but do work as increased or more but work in the literal way and generally end up doing little to nothing.

The stat in questions is more damage per stack of shock. Most stats don't have a modifier type in the stat line. It is designed to only be included as an added stat so that it appears as you would expect 1% more damage per stack of shock. That item has the stat more, more damage per stack of shock. So if you have another source of more damage per stack of shock that stat is modified by 1% more.

So even if this is functioning, all it's doing is modifying any other values you might have for the stat more damage per stack of shock by 1%. Since this is such a rare stat to have on anything, this item is doing close to, if not, nothing with that stat line.

Now, having said all that, I have looked it up in the current development version of the game and it's no longer doing that so someone has already fixed it. And I could possibly be wrong about the version that is live and it's just a typo but we've had this issue happen many times before so I'm pretty confident that's what this is.

so added physical and added fire will be counted separately from added cold? with each own increased correspondigly

yes, that's how added damage works

if it is elementless then it adds cold (because of the skill tags)

(For what it's worth, until a very recent patch, it converted all damage. Once the Melee Adaptive Damage patch rolled out, 0.9 I think, all those conversion nodes changed to convert only base damage, which of course in turn converts Adaptive Damage.... even though the word "Adaptive" isn't used anymore.)

#

oh interesting, so it doesn't even convert added phys to added cold now? just 1 base phys to 1 cold?

  3. Glyph of Dominion which is cast at target location
  4. Runic Invocation which is cast on exit
#

or so the tooltip suggests

placid plinth
#

glyph has higher priority than static orb

fast spade
#

So, Glyph of Dominion > Static Orb > Ember > Runic Invocation ?

placid plinth
#

glyph starts in the middle of the flame rush cast, static orb starts on the first frame of the ability after the cast

fast spade
#

Interesting. Thanks!

placid plinth
#

I'm not sure about ember but the rest is right

fast spade
#

Ember says Every 0.4 seconds during Flame Rush you create a Rune Ember, so assuming you dont cast it for any shorter than 0.4 sec I would assume Ember takes priotiy over Runic

#

I don't think Flame Rush lasts that long minimum?

#

In any case, I get the logic now 🙂 Thanks Mike

why is the inscribed instruments node in the rune master tree so bad for non wand users? I think a change to that node(for staff and sceptres) could really open up different options.

it’s the one that gives crit multi to wands, ward retention to scepters, and cast speed to staves

I’ve actually wondered that same thing. It’s like 72 crit multi for wands, 24 cast speed for staves, and something like 40 ward retention for sceptre. Crit multi is far and away the winner there. We can take this to Suggestions/Feedback though heh

Hi Mike, do items get their own stats? As in:

If I have an immolator's oblation, does it's Ignite duration apply to the ignites it deals to you? Or does it's stats only apply to the player character and not the item itself. I feel like it should be the latter but I'm not sure.

i have a question about erasing strike, why do its echoes count as a separate use of ES. i tested it with void supermacy node from AE and you get damage buff only for the fist hit, all echoes do not get it. Which doesnt make sense because void supremacy node says "your next ES deals..." and i use ES only once, while echoes are part of skill mechanic not a direct separate use. Is this intended or a bug?

if you think it might be a bug though, please report it directly

mortal forum
cursive sparrow
#

ye its a real bummer and counter intuitive at least from reading the tooltips

placid plinth
#

triggering a mutatable skill doesn't count as a child skill

#

our options are:

  1. All triggered abilities inherit nothing.
  2. Non-player directly usable triggered abilities inherit.
  3. Some things randomly inherit while others don't and there is no pattern.

because inheritance of effects like this is generally pretty desirable, we opted for number 2.

#

But echoes are supposed to be a "snapshot" of your stats at the time of ability usage

placid plinth
#

I don't think this is actually an echo in the VK sense of echo.

If I recall your words correctly on how echoes work, it was something to the tune of "functionally an echo is just your character using the skill"

The mutator does specifically prohibit this from working with echoes. I don't know why but it's there.

Alot of other games I've played with certain skills that "copy" they typically either have low damage and ramp up, or start out hitting really hard and ramp down (i.e 25% reduced damage each time it copies or something). Maybe it's similar to that in a sense? 🤷‍♂️

Wouldn't it be possible to edit the skill object when you allocate the points and just keep it like that? Not sure how it's all structured so that might sound stupid lol

pine chasm
#

Huh, interesting, I wouldn't have thought they would be in a long string of if-else things

crude plover
#

Or is that what you do, idk if you go through the switch for every use of the skill

placid plinth
#

the tree script basically goes

foreach (Node node in nodes)
{
    if (node == node1){damage += 10 * allocatedPoints;} 
    if (node == node2){cast speed += 10 * allocatedPoints;} 
}```
crude plover
#

Ah yeah that's what I meant basically

placid plinth

it only does that when a point is added/removed from the tree

#

and oh yea, the passive trees are way worse

Yup right on

placid plinth
#

all 4 trees are in 1 script per class

placid plinth
#

yea

crude plover
#

Makes sense yeah

placid plinth
#

oh items aren't part of that if/else script

#

that's what the mutator does

#

it assembles the skill each time it's cast because it can change frame by frame what is going to happen

crude plover
#

Ah, so buffs and such can be dynamic

#

Like if you had a buff that added 2 arrows to multishot

pine chasm
#

Always interesting to see how many different ways there are to accomplish any given task! In my head I was imagining each node as its own object, where you could loop through and just call apply() on each or something.

crude plover
#

If I'm getting it

placid plinth
crude plover
#

I was imagining the skill as basically an object that gets all the modifiers applied to it once, and once that's done it doesn't really run much until an update method is called via a buff, node, item or something changing state, seems to basically be how it is though tbh

I feel familiar with that lang structure but I doubt that's a Java code, isn't it?
Well, maybe because some langs are looking equal but aren't in there fundament and maybe because I have done to many things with Java in the past ^^

Can you tell me where you get all the ideas for your game? It can be argued beacue of the existens from Diabolo, PoE and compareable but even if all these games are placable within the same genre they are unique in there concept and I like it.

Hello Mike and all. Question about this RuneMaster node in the Frost Wall tree, "Flames Unchained" that procs fireballs when an enemy walks through frost wall. As far as I can see, almost every runemaster 'skill' that procs another 'skill' (Like procing static orb or glyph of dominion with flame rush) inherits their skill tree, except for this one. As I am playing a fireball build and considering dropping these nodes because its very lackluster when its just a singular fireball instead of my usual 4 fireball projectiles and appears to be no chance to proc static charge, no flame burst, not even any pierce so it just 'poofs' on the first thing hit. Does not appear to inherit any mods from my gear either (I have extra projectiles cindersong weapon, chance to pierce fireball helmet mod, chance for static charge on fireball on machination gloves etc)

Is this as intended or is this something that hasn't been put in yet / something that will be put in a future patch? Is this node supposed to be inheriting the fireball tree? Because when every other skill inherits but this one does, even me as playing as a purely fireball focused build, is not interested in investing 3 points.

Toast is right, C# pseudocode and looks an awful lot like java, even when written out properly.

As for the ideas, they come from all over. The overarching story is from our Loremaster Kyle. We have a wide range of backgrounds on the design team so we often get ideas pitched in meetings that everyone else would never have thought of. Most comes from just a dozen people who have played video games all their lives.

placid plinth

We try really hard to make it so that whenever a skill that can be specialized is used, it uses the skill tree that goes with it. I'm not sure why this one in particular doesn't. It might be because it could get a little too visually noisy. It might have just been an oversight due to the odd situation it is being generated through. It's probably as simple as a single tick box to make it use the tree that was missed.

Means in general that even some off-topic talking here in this chat can also cause to be discussed as an potential idea for the game until it gets then implemented in the game (skipped definitly a few importen steps before an idea is ready to be implemented but I want to keep this a little bit simple) even if it's totaly smth. so random that somebody else would at first shake his head, right?

In general I love playing games but I would also like to develop games but there are a few personal problems which are "gatekeeping" me away from this goal (and also from any other IT related goal).

Since I am new here I guess it was definitly asked many times but are you all sitting together in an office or is LE more widely spreaded arround the globus and you have meetings online? Also I am interested how long it has taken from the general idea, the concept and team founding until a playable alpha/beta was released. I don't go for the money part because making even a small game is cost intensive and I would assume that the most part of it goes into marketing and art (incl. sounds). I think even LE has had some throwbacks within it's development phase 🤔

Finally I must say, that your game is flodding me with more questions about "behind the scene" then other games from similar studios (excl. the big player ones here).

Yea, we get tons of great ideas from our community from the #1123698164503949392 channel.

Our studio is completely remote, all over the world. The sun never sets on Eleventh Hour Games. We generally operate on North America time but we have plenty of people in Europe and some in Australia and Asia too.

It was about 8-10 months (can't remember exactly, was over 5 years ago) before we released anything publicly playable. That was during our Kickstarter. I joined a couple months into development and it was already technically playable actually. Almost nothing has survived from then though.

# placid plinth Yea, we get tons of great ideas from our community from the <#112369816450394939...

I assumed that most things aren't surviving when in direct development phase. From what I know in general it is Try and Error because if you don't try things out you can't see the impact these things.

I wish that I could see a bit what's going on behind the scene like used software and equipment and how everything is placed together e. g. making a 3D Char Model from scratch until it's done so far to be ready to get it's "soul" (the code behind it, which lets the model move or do attack patterens or what ever else it should do).

Knowledge here must be at a decend level I assume not only in the used Engine but also in the used Lang like C#, C++, .NET, Java and what ever else is out there to be usefull to make a game.

Oh okay great, so if it really was an oversight / something that got missed, is there a chance that this change/fix can be slated to be added/fixed in a hotfix sometime in the near future?

What about fireball modifiers from gear (Extra projectiles from cindersong wand, spark charges chance on fireball hit from michaniation gloves etc) would also be inherited onto the fireballs cast from the frost wall?

I can see people being disappointed when they spec those points for fireball procs in frost wall only to see its just a singular level 0 skill tree fireball that doesen't really do anything. So much so that they'll consider moving away from fireball altogether, as I have considered, but I really wanted to make fireball work.

Fireball seems to be a skill very few people are playing, especially compared to how strong lightning blast and frost claw are right now.

With the fireball supporting node in the frost wall tree just 'being broken' whereas the lightning blast trigger on frost wall appears to apply inherit the lightning blast tree (spark charge chance on lightning blast as well as the more damage multipliers for spark charge) it makes it really hard for fireball to compete with anything :/

#

Also wanted to mention how blown away I am with how the runemaster class came out, how many combinations of how differently runemasters can be built with all the synergy of proc'ing different skills, you guys got crazy good at designing new classes/skills in a relatively short time

It's possible. It's also generally an all or nothing situation, it's much easier to enable everything, items and skill trees than it is to do selectively. The fact that lightning blast works and fireball doesn't is pretty funny. Not sure how that happened.

If you want it to get fixed, please leave a bug report. Either on the forums or in game. I don't pull bugs from here at all. It just isn't feasible for me to do.

When it comes to base skill and enemy development, we do have a fairly rapid prototyping phase. Once something is in an internal game build, it's very rare that it gets removed. Often irritated on but rarely fully removed.

I don't know each tool that is used in the art pipeline. Each enemy gets modelled, textured, animated, sound effects, visual effects, and skills. The attack patterns get semi auto generated. We give it a priority list of skills that each have a set cooldown, charges and ranges. This gives it an emergent behavior.

The game is almost exclusively built in C#. The servers and website do use some other languages too.

Nice that the game uses 99% of one lang. For the Website it's interesting to see the usage of the Vue Framework Nuxt. A little thing what I not get is why the wiki isn't part of the main webside as a submenu but instead placed outsourced on fandom? Don't get me wrong here to also maintain a wiki from the dev side as it could definitly maintained by the community to after all for different languages.

I went through that wiki and found out that for some reason Lua error's are thrown but here I am out since I don't know how fandom works behind the scene. Wouldn't it better to make it possible for the community to have like a wiki team which can create sites under the use of the games database even in an exported state for security reasons? With such a self hosted wiki every page could be done by the community while the functionality is provided from the webdev team and if smth. is missing the wiki team could reach out to the webdev team to ask for implementation. Sure it's another part which consumes time but at last it would be for the community and for every player.

Sometimes it's not bad to provide the wiki on the own system because a wiki system could be written fast and arranged around the game to suit it for including links (items, skills and so on) but also cut-outs when hovered over linked stuff like a skill to get it's skill description shown.

I was also in my mind the archeotype that was fireball mage was to have higher damage but less surviability than other skills. But right now, fireball has LESS damage than lightning blast / frost claw, AND less survivibility (no access to lightning aegis, chill/freeze/slow, far weaker / non existent ward generation and so on)

There is already a node in fireball's spec (Embers) that lets it hit a single target with multiple fireballs. Mike doesn't really have details on possible balance changes. I'd recommend using #1123697853882187847 so they can appropriately log/track your feedback.

Well the most recent plan was this year.

hey mike, just started playing sentinel for the first time since 2021 so sorry for the noob question. is there any way to know weather or not you have a reposte prepared from vengeance? Since it doesn't seem to have a buff icon

gotcha, was asking since i wanted to see if there was a good way to check uptime for it while getting hit in an echo, guess i just have to look at how many hits i take vs how many hits i dish out ^^

will there be expansions for the game? and will they be paid?

# earnest heron will there be expansions for the game? and will they be paid?

Not in the traditional sense of say a WoW expansion. Because of the nature of an ARPG, we don't want to split the community on content based on which expansions you have purchased or not.

We will be continually adding more content to the game in large patches that will feel like mini-expansions. As long as you've purchased the game once, you'll get all of these updates for free.

Hi Mike, recently you gave the player the ability to scale offense with defense (ignite per fire res in black hole for example). What about scaling defense with offense, like Inc phys dmg give phys res?

yeah the game prevents you from rebinding right click but not left click

very annoying

Me and my friend are doing the Monolith: Fall of the outcas quest but when i pick the echoe to do it dose not count for him as echoes completed is that a bugg?

queen smelt
#

well we both have 373 stability tho

placid plinth
#

I think that it doesn't complete the leadup quests to the boss fight but you will both get all the rewards.

#

You're completing the quests on your monolith, they aren't completing the quests on theirs.

#

I think is what is happening

queen smelt
#

yeah we both get the rewards.

placid plinth
#

if not, it's just a bug

I wonder how powerful the Refuge Guards are in lore compared to gameplay? Can they easily defeat monsters like players if gameplay was not considered 🤔 ?

#

A thing that has been on my mind for the longest time.

placid plinth
#

I'm really not sure. I feel like they would struggle but probably not as much as they do in game.

@little raptor @compact peak - made a note about the right click binding issue 🙂

#

Are there plans for big patches before launch? Now that we know it's pushed back a bit?

Apologies if expressed somewhere

#

NVM I see it

west inlet
# placid plinth Yes.

Can you clarify here?

I was under the impression that a new Cycle can only be played by new characters.

Do you mean that the Legacy characters will have access to the Cycles content? Because the whole point is a reset on economy and ladder for a fresh start for all.

#

^ in reference to Darphy asking if he can play the Cycle with their Legacy characters

#

The thing you linked to is opposite of what he linked to

#

If all the content is same day going to legacy is real that's disappointing to hear

# west inlet Can you clarify here? I was under the impression that a new Cycle can only be p...

Because the initial cycles will be content that will feel very core to a game like this, we don't want to limit who has access to it. Like if we added a final boss to the game, it wouldn't make much sense to lock that to cycle only. For the 1.0 launch, the main new features are warlock, falconer and the item factions. These are core systems that all players will have access to.

See right above this for more info.

west inlet
#

That's what I figured, thank you. But there will be 'Cycle' and 'Legacy' servers, yes?

Even if Legacy is acquiring Cycle-content for the time being?

How close is that then?

#

So like 100?

crude plover
#

Depends on how much the boss needs, each monolith is different, you both need to fill the bar at the top until all three diamonds are yellow

ripe plank
#

Oh stability right right

crude plover
#

Yup

placid plinth
# west inlet That's what I figured, thank you. But there will be 'Cycle' and 'Legacy' servers...

Short answer: yes.

Confusing answer: really strictly technically speaking, no. But for what you're meaning, yes. If you start a cycle character, you will never be in the same zone as a non-cycle character. It's just that each server won't technically be earmarked for cycle or non-cycle until someone joins it and "claims it". When everyone leaves, it then gets released back into the wild, ready to be claimed again.

Hi Mike, I hope you are having a nice Sunday.
I have a question about this node in Surge. When procced by Surge, does the more spell lightning dmg applies to Lightning Blast ? Static ? Fire Aura (lightning) ? Spark Charge ?

#

I like the question mark

mild rivet
#

it's because by all means it should apply but Fire Aura is not allowed to have nice things

placid plinth
#

Fire aura's a special case because it's not a specializable skill so it should work but I think it kinda works like a specializable skill because it gets mutated through effects from many sources.

Hey devs!
There's a unity error/crash appearing everytime I try to login with an online character. Either it appears during loading into the character, sometime I can walk around for 10 seconds before the game crashes.

Happens on all my online characters, no matter what region I connect to. Offline works fine.

I've seen some reports on forums and reddit. Somebody said that it is a server related issue. Others say it's related to Nvidia drivers. Can you provide some info?

pine dome
# placid plinth No. No. No? Yes.

Could you explain the reasoning for Spark Charges? I was under the impression that the spell was triggered by an ailment, causing "More Dmg" from skill tree to not be passed on. This one look like a generic More Dmg, and not a More Spark Charge Dmg, unlike another node in Surge tree.

does the beserker node in the primalist passive tree apply to one-shot attacks like endurance does or only to attacks that land while you are on low health

#

sorry if this has been asked. Will you be able to keep playing the same character on new cycles? some kind of transfer system , or will we need to carry on starting new characters each cycle

maiden brook
#

i believe is the current statement

lone ginkgo
maiden brook
#

ahk

#

welp, still nice for dealing with DoT's

junior crest
#

that's annoying, I was hoping for something different where you can invest your time into a single character and keep playing them, hated how diablo was a constant restart with obsolete characters you never played again

#

cheers for the info

mild rivet
#

well you can do that also

maiden brook
junior crest
#

without rankings?

maiden brook
#

there will be standard rankings

junior crest
#

a seperation between new starts and old players?

maiden brook
#

each season past the first you can play the season on either the season-specific servers or on the standard specific servers, after the season ends the season-specific characters will be moved to standard

#

both standard and the season specific servers get the new mechanics at the same time

#

unlike PoE

junior crest
#

interesting interesting

lone ginkgo
#

where did you get that season 1 won't have season-only separation ?

maiden brook
#

not sure

#

take that with a grain of salt

#

just something i've heard said around

lone ginkgo
maiden brook
#

could be wrong

lone ginkgo
#

couple of scrolls above

junior crest
#

will existing characters be able to participate in seasonal rankings ?

lone ginkgo
#

no

maiden brook
#

as in compete with season-specific characters? no

#

they will compete with the legacy characters

slender vine
maiden brook
#

oh

#

fuck

#

so i'm completely wrong then

#

no standard ladder

#

fuckin rip

junior crest
#

would legacy characters be missing out on anything at all, such as gear ? or is it just a difference between rankings

maiden brook
#

just no rankings afaik

junior crest
#

so it will basically be the same sytem as diablo

maiden brook
#

wait, so if diablo had no difference in content besides ladder, why did you need to constantly make new characters?

junior crest
#

it had season specific content did it not>?

#

not applicable to prior characters, you were motivated to start new characters

maiden brook
#

oh, so it's different to the LE system

junior crest
#

just started LE a day ago btw so I know nothing atm

maiden brook
#

legacy chars will be able to access all the new content at the exact same time as season-specific characters, except for ladder

junior crest
#

thanks for the insight, would be cool if there were overall/legacy ladders

Character loadouts to try more builds on single character when ???
