thanks

Hi dear EHG!
Can you tell me guys if you are planning to add gender selection for character in Last Epoch? This will be super cool. We could do it in Diablo 3 and in some other games and I think it is a very good aesthetic feature.

[somber marten]

They might do it, but not anytime soon

[placid plinth]

Character customization is a feature that we do intend to implement down the road. It will not be available at 1.0. It is not a priority for us at the moment. We know that some players feel it is a mandatory feature but we just have more pressing issues at the moment.

[rugged dust]

Thank you Mike! You are a dream team and I wish you everything very best! You are really listening to the people. True democracy!

[quaint spindle]

[quaint spindle]

for me personally inclusivity is a MASSIVE IMPORTANT thing, so like Mike said you can rest assured 🙂

[placid plinth]

More of a benevolent dictatorship but making that look like a democracy is every monarch's dream.

[bitter sleet]

May I ask if you are going to simplify the farming of monolith bosses? Because it's so hard to stuff "stability", and the chance of the right thing falling out is already very small. As a result, you have to kill 15 bosses before the right thing falls out and it's not yet a fact that it will fall with leg potential and the right roll stats value.

and it's not a fact that the necessary stats will be transferred from exalted items and again you have to farm the same location 20 times calling the boss

[livid stirrup]

you've just described the core gameplay loop for every ARPG

[bitter sleet]

in other games, you can get to the boss much faster, and in some you can come to him right away

[haughty shale]

Are you talking about traps ? 👼

[bitter sleet]

in any other games, I have to spend 2-5 minutes to walk to the boss or immediately come to him, buying the right things from someone to immediately launch the boss. Right there I have to spend about 1 hour to try my luck on the things I need. As a result, I spend 10 hours a day on an empty forum, which brings me nothing but disappointment.

[placid plinth]

No, I'm talking about the falcon. I think you might have read falconer at the end of my reply.

[placid plinth]

We don't have plans to simplify the monolith no. Once you get into empowered and start upping your corruption, you can reduce the time between boss attempts pretty significantly when compared to the 1st time through regular.

[haughty shale]

Yes my bad, that's great to hear !

[bitter sleet]

I noticed it, but it's still tedious, I've raised up to 350 corruption, and I can't go up any further because there's not enough damage or survivability, and only new legendary items with legendary potential will give me damage. Therefore, you have to spend 10 hours a day to knock out one single thing and it's not a fact that you will be able to transfer the necessary stats to it. And all over again in a new circle

[placid plinth]

Claiming 10 hours per boss kill is a little disingenuous I think. I'm hearing that it feels too long between attempts for you so thanks for the #1123697853882187847

[cursive sparrow]

i think they meant for boss drop unique with at least 1 LP

[bitter sleet]

and it also looks like I didn't notice the difference between killing large mobs and small ones, so they give the same "stability". It turns out that killing stronger and more formidable opponents is not encouraged in any way and it is easier to kill small and skip strong enemies, spending minimal time on the map run

[bitter sleet]

1h = 1 boss
10h = 10 bosses
and it may happen that you will not get your thing, or you will get it with bad stats

[fossil dune]

This is still disingenuous. I can point to several people who have multiple boss kills per hour.

Hell, even at low corruption I get at least two per hour

[cursive sparrow]

it looks like you want easy farm of boss drops with LP, those are high end items and isnt something you are supposed to have easily. getting boss drops without LP is easy, but asking for easily farmable LP boss drops is a bit too much, dont you think so

[somber marten]

And if LPs are you only upgrades at 300 corruption you might want to think about your build more

[shadow swift]

Hi devs - so the rogue skill Ballista casts Ballista Bolt. I see the dexterity tag increases attack speed. If i were able to get a Julra's Obsession, slam it with Dexterity, would my ballista's get that increase in attack speed?

[placid plinth]

I didn't understand the post properly, that's my bad. The #1123697853882187847 that I'm hearing is that it feels too long for you.

[placid plinth]

No, minions don't get attributes.

[shadow swift]

ahh this line of the item.

thanks - saved me some time farming for both lol

[placid plinth]

yup

Yea, they do technically get attributes but they have no effect so they effectively get no attributes.

[static vale]

Why don't attributes have any effect on minions?

[placid plinth]

I don't actually know. I think it has to do with how skills generate stats and casting information. Players all have this really massive script on them that runs all the special effects. I think that it also runs the attribute functions. I think it comes down to a performance problem after that.

[visual apex]

Does the new experimental affix that drains current health and gives ward/sec per missing health work on minions if put on those gloves??

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, How is considered Restores Health ? Healing ? Regen ?

[placid plinth]

no

[visual apex]

Dang, I thought not. There goes my low life sabertooth idea 😝

[placid plinth]

it's this
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/leaf_shield

it is a heal

[pine dome]

Thx

[lucid valley]

are these actually this dramatically different, or is it just something to do with how letools pulls the data?

[placid plinth]

Well yes but actually no.
If you were able to put Void Beam on your bar, that section would be very important. However, attribute scaling only applies to skills directly able to be placed on your skill bar. We do have 2 skills in our database that are the same name and LETools grabbed both. LETools hides a TON of skills that we don't actively use and would just cause confusion.

TLDR, pretend those scaling tags don't exist on Void Beam

[lucid valley]

So...

hm

can I add flat damage to it?

[pine dome]

What about the differents added dmg scaling and base dmg ?

[lucid valley]

If I were trying to go full memebeam, would I actually be able to get more added? because the 12 extra base and 2 added per vit seem huge

I would like more space lasers in my life

[placid plinth]

but 2 added per vit doesn't exist so how are you getting that?

[lucid valley]

the second one claims it

[placid plinth]

remember we're pretending that doesn't exist

(because it doesn't do anything)

[lucid valley]

so can void beam damage not be increased?

[placid plinth]

no, it can be increased

attribute (and level) scaling only applies to skills that are directly placed on your bar.

[lucid valley]

does it inherit the attribute scalings of Erasing strike?

[placid plinth]

kinda, the scaling is converted to stats.

[lucid valley]

Can you explain what that means?

[placid plinth]

When an ability is used, your attributes and that skill's attribute scaling is calculated and whatever that ability gets is converted to stats. So if you have an idol with 1 Strength and another idol with 4% increased Damage, those are effectively the exact same thing when using Erasing Strike.

[lucid valley]

for the strike sure

But does that effective +8% carry over to the void beam?

[placid plinth]

where is 8% coming from?

[supple field]

so correct me if I'm wrong Mike, but since Erasing Strike itself has this, that means the void beams get it?

[lucid valley]

yea that;s what I was leading towards

[placid plinth]

I'm hesitant to say yes because of the wording but effectively yes.

[lucid valley]

so vitality makes memebeams beamier

[placid plinth]

vitality makes erasing strike beamier

[lucid valley]

alright lol

do they get improved by +Damage over time effects?

[placid plinth]

do they have the dot tag?

serious question, I don't actually know

[lucid valley]

Also thank you so much for your patience, I really like the mathiness and how technical the game is. But it makes some of it hard to find

ehhhh

isssh?

[placid plinth]

yes

(scrolled up)

[lucid valley]

neat

I wasn't sure if I could trust that image or not

[placid plinth]

attributes are the only thing that is janky

I just don't like giving the result of this without the "why" because you'll get tripped up by this again without it

[lucid valley]

Do they inherit effects like this?

[placid plinth]

yes

[pine dome]

While we are talking about this, May I asked why is there 2 differents subskills Void Beam linked to Erasing Strike ?

[placid plinth]

I don't know, probably just a mistake

one was probably used as an enemy ability or something

[pine dome]

Do think its actually 2 differents skills being used ? Or it has no impact ?

[lucid valley]

it's odd they show different base damages

[placid plinth]

this is why I think one is for enemies, player skills typically have way lower base damage.

which is funny because it's the higher base damage one with the scaling

[placid plinth]

OK, I went and looked, all 4 listed on LETools are actually used in different places. All by the player. 2 are Shield Rush and 2 are Erasing Strike.

Shield Rush: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/forward_void_beam
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/backwards_void_beam

Erasing Strike:
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/stationary_void_beam
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/player_void_beams

(hopefully it's obvious which is which based on the names)

[lucid valley]

yea that's where I was looking

It seems really weird that the beams from

Hitting a Rare
Kills % chance
would be different from the beams from
Kill 5

Void bringer links to the 20 base damage with scaling one, despite doing nothing except modifying Ravenous Void which links to the 8 damage one

[maiden brook]

if a given item modifier has two different randomly determined stats, are those stats seperate from each other in terms of where they will be in their range or would they be determined by the same RNG value?

[pastel edge]

Would it be possible to get a keybinding for Zoom in and out for the minimap ?

[placid plinth]

Are you asking about hybrid affixes like the Hybrid Stun Avoidance with +20-40 Stun Avoidance and 6%-8% increased Stun Avoidance at T1. Like does it roll the 20-40 and then also separately roll the 6-8.

No, the affix has 1 roll for both halves. If it rolls 50% then it would be +30 and 7%.

[placid plinth]

Maybe, put it in #1123698164503949392 if you'd like it to be considered.

[maiden brook]

Would that be the same for similar unique modifiers?

[placid plinth]

All affixes have a single roll value. I'm not sure what you mean by unique modifiers.

If you've got an example item, that would make it the easiest.

There are times that we pair affix rolls together on unique items so you'll see for example, several affixes all roll the same as each other every time.

[maiden brook]

Well, i found a bloodkeepers nest who's first modifier section of text is giving bees 12 health per attunement, but only 9% increased damage

[placid plinth]

The rolls on bloodkeeper's nest affixes are not linked together

[maiden brook]

Ahk

It's just presented as a single "unique modifier" so seeing it confused me

[placid plinth]

it's actually 2 affixes under the hood

[maiden brook]

Yeah i figure

[placid plinth]

that is one of very few instances of that, maybe a handful total

I think that the bleed infected by bees per strength might be mistakenly sharing a roll value with the added health per attunement

If I'm correct, the bleed phys pen per strength displayed on the tooltip is not the actual value that the item has.

[pastel edge]

Done, thanks

[solid gulch]

qustion is there any plans for a spell caster who uses void magic not incloding the sentinel ?

[summer carbon]

Are their any plans for adding colorblind filters? Or at the very least lable each piece of gear with their rarity? I can't find a way to tell the difference between gear besides checking all stats.

[placid plinth]

At 1.0, the void knight will be the only class with void as a primary element.

We will add more classes to the game as we go. We don't have the specific next classes fully locked down yet. There is currently a distinct gap in the void caster archetype.

You can do it a little bit with sorc and some specific items.

[placid plinth]

Accessibility features like colorblind settings is something we want to add. We do try to include these types of things in items already. With items on the ground, you can use the loot filter to change the colors already so I don't think that's what you mean.

As for the main item tooltips, I'm pretty sure that they do say the item rarity on it right? I think the second line is rarity? We are in the process of updating them so that might be a new thing?

[lucid valley]

Is the damage math straightfoward? Skipping things like resistance/armor/pen/crit chance/dodge.

Ie a 40 base damage spell with +10 adaptive damage +200% Damage type, 100% crit chance and +200% multiplier.

Would that just be
40+10=50
50+(502)=150 or 503=150
150*2=300
?

[placid plinth]

Yea

I just bought the game and I'm low level but not all gear has the rarity on it. But if you're adding that now it will be a huge help. Thanks for the answer.

[opaque falcon]

with the addition of visual overhauls like the lighting changes and scene variance will that come with better optimization (or same performance as now) or will it be something that is like a higher graphics setting option just targeted towards people with better rigs than the current recommended specs.

[placid plinth]

Normal magic and rare items are determined by the number of affixes. You can put the dots on the item tags in the settings to see them and you can tell rarity from the number of dots. Higher rarity items say it.

[placid plinth]

It actually improves performance.

[maiden brook]

are the methods for farming weapons (both exalted and unique) being very dilute a specific design choice or is it something that's just ended up happening by coincidence?

[cursive sparrow]

i was wondering what are the future plans on ward/hp meta? am i right that devs want to have HP builds get more damage reduction sources and high regen/leech, while ward having big total pool but way less DR's/sustain? Currently ward is a bit too strong with new LL affix and RM skills generate a lot of ward, on top of having same damage reduction sources. will we get any changes or is it planned?

[placid plinth]

I can't give you any specifics but we do strive to have both ward and non ward builds being viable and fun with caster classes being generally better at ward than not.

[kind wing]

only if those characters haven't selected a mastery yet

[wispy wren]

if a minion has death seal on them, and I have the soul blast node (explode on dying) are THEY they ones casting both soul blast AND wave of death?

also, how does wave of death scale based on health and time activated?

[placid plinth]

It's an indirect cast from the player.

[kind nexus]

How does adaptive damage work when added into a skill with two tags? For example, how does flat adaptive throwing damage add into blade explosion with physical and fire tags?

[viral adder]

half of it becomes phys, half fire

[rugged dust]

Hi!
Will there be a different ending cutscenes or endings at all for different classes of characters finishing the main storyline?
Are alternative endings depending on your actions will be possible?

[placid plinth]

At base rate ratio. I think all multi element skills are evenly distributed. Umbral Blade Explosion is 6/6 Physical/Fire

[placid plinth]

The cut scenes are static.

[kind nexus]

Figured thanks, second question. Converting umbral blades base phys to cold converts the blade explosion too? I wouldn't think so but

[placid plinth]

it actually does a full conversion to cold. physical and fire

[kind nexus]

Whaaaaaaa!!! Ok that's very good to know, glad I asked

Sorry last question, plus throwing flat physical damage from within the tree (jagged carvings node, sorry on mobile so no screenie) won't get converted by cold conversion right?

[placid plinth]

yes

[kind nexus]

Yes that is correct or yes it gets converted? 🙂

[placid plinth]

This is why negative questions are bad. The answer to the question as written is yes, you are right that it won't get converted by cold conversion.

Sorry. I realized it after I typed it.

How do suggestions in Discord, Reddit, and Forums get screened and reviewed?

Without sharing too much, I am just very curious on your team's process. Any insight would be most cool

[placid plinth]

Someone compiles it into a couple nicely formatted weekly posts, split up by category and puts it into the relevant internal design channels.

[quaint fable]

Hi,
I was wondering if you have any plans to implement in-game a way to follow the builder in the future, like a build planner with the option to import and export?

[kind nexus]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ import and export functions top left

[quaint fable]

i mean a fuction to view a build guide in game

[kind nexus]

Not sure what that would accomplish but eHG have said pretty explicitly that they do not intend to implement loadouts or saved builds of any kind

[quaint fable]

Ok ty!

[placid plinth]

Primeval is mostly right. Having a "saved build" that reminds you where your points go isn't off the table. Having a full sail quick switch system like D3 armory is not something we are considering.

[quaint fable]

i mean more like maxroll builds ingame but i understand that

[placid plinth]

Yea, we won't have that at 1.0 but it's something we will probably debate at some point soon. It's a tricky proposition because it puts players in a situation that encourages not reading at all. Just follow the flashing lights and go. Then when some skill has been transformed by a node without their knowledge, we get a bug report. It actually already happens sometimes.

It also means people don't learn the skills and don't experiment themselves and can't troubleshoot their build in specific situations

[pine zenith]

is it a design choice/technical limitation/server latency issue that doesn't allow me to use spells while in the middle of other attack animations?

[placid plinth]

Possibly either and/or both without more information. Each ability usage has 3 steps to it.

1. Anticipation, this is where you have pressed the button but the ability doesn't exist yet. You aren't completely locked into using this ability yet and it can be cancelled with high priority actions like walking, movement abilities and some CC abilities.

2. Casting, this is where you are locked into your current action. This window is typically the shortest part of the ability usage but it varies heavily depending on the skill.

3. Post Cast Settle, this is where the ability exists and your character is still mid animation but it can be interrupted by almost any action. Walking and all abilities can interrupt the skill at this point.

If we use Fireball as an example:
Anticipation: 0.27s
Casting: 0.225s
Post Cast Settle: 0.525s

So with 0 cast speed, fireball takes about 1s and after half of that you can interupt it.

[final cave]

Which part does Increased Cast Speed pact here Mike?

[placid plinth]

yes

[final cave]

😄

Does it affect them all equally or is its impact skewed toward the start/end?

[placid plinth]

It technically just affects the whole thing and doesn't know that there are individual parts.

(I fudged some info to be easier to understand)

This is what Fireball actually looks like

[final cave]

Oh! That's neat. Thanks 🙂

[pine zenith]

thanks for the info, i felt this major delay while playing my fireball spam sorc build when i need to use meteor to keep a buff up, but it's even more egregious on my newly created void knight where if i'm in the middle of a Rive attack sequence i have to stop attacking completely (aka loose all my sustain) refresh my sigils of hope buff, wait for that to resolve, then press the key for my anomaly skill before i can begin attacking with Rive again, i was simply curious as to if there was a reason behind not allowing things like personal buff effects to be able to go off mid attack animation and must always wait for something to finish before you can do the next thing?

[pine dome]

You can have sigils on instant cast fyi

[placid plinth]

This is a lot of speculation but it sounds like you're getting a combination of both bad latency and just using an ability with a cast duration that you want to be instant. So it takes some time but bad latency is making it take even longer, bringing it into frustrating range. Sigils is a significant spell that has a cast time, this is a design decision. As Vlad said you can make it instant if you'd like which means that you don't have to wait for anything. This comes with a tradeoff of a cooldown and added mana cost as instant cast is a pretty big difference as you said.

It's not all personal buff effects though, the first one that comes to mind is Flame Ward, that's an instant cast one. Whether or not something is instant cast or not is based on several factors and each skill is a unique decision.

[hexed ferry]

Guys, years ago it was said that it would work in the distant future on making all classes not have just one gender. Does anyone know anything about this? He would be immensely interested in having a male necromancer even if he had to obtain it through micropayments.

So, I know the team plans to update the Core game with the first few Cycles and whatever these Cycles bring.

Will this include new seasonal-esque like content right off the bat, or is that something for later Cycles?

( I.e; are we going to have things like Malignant Tunnels introduced and kept in the game right away? Or is that kind of new content saved for later? )

[quaint spindle]

TBD 😉

😶

[placid plinth]

Well the first one is 2 new masteries and the whole item factions system.

[hexed cypress]

Still not clear to me how lightning crit multi works on dual element spells - say fireball half and half, does the multi apply to added spell cold in a lightning tagged spell?

What about an invocation with separate elemental hits like elemental tide which has a separate hit of each element? Does only the lightning hit get multiplied or do they all since the whole skill was tagged?

[primal wigeon]

Can we have a "mediumcore" difficulty option where we maybe lose a random equiped item rather than the whole character? xp loss lacks impact, character loss seems too punishing for those without a ton of spare time, but i still crave the tension of caring if i die

[feral surge]

You could always simulate that yourself. Give each slot a number, and if you die, roll a die and destroy the item it lands on.

[primal wigeon]

sorry, thanks

[opaque falcon]

if the game release is there a wipe coming ?

[south cedar]

Nope

All current characters will be moved to Standard

[opaque falcon]

so like diablo seasons ?

[pine dome]

Yes

[crude plover]

Depends on what the stat says. If it's something like:

"lightning spells have x% increase critical strike multiplier"

then the entire spell would gain the crit multi. But if it said something like:

"x% increased lightning critical strike multiplier"

then only the lightning portion of the spell would gain the crit multi.

The important part is if the stat is applying to the skill or the damage. If It applies to skill but requires a specific tag (lightning) then the entire skill gains the benefit no matter what damage types it's dealing. But if it's applying to a damage type (lightning) then it will only apply to that damage type.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, Can Summon Bear have Aspect of the Panther from Swipe ?

Also are thoses sources of CDRS additive or multiplicative ?

[placid plinth]

Additive.

I'm not sure about the aspect. I feel like it should work but something is nagging at me that says it doesn't. I'm not at my computer to check right now.

[untold forge]

so the first cycle already has its new feature determined. has there been plans or talks of what the next new/unique feature will be and if it will be added for the second cycle?

[placid plinth]

Yes

[untold forge]

That’s awesome. Thanks

[solid gulch]

is there plans to add new items / uniqe items / set items that support the diffrent masterys ?

and will there by a transmoge system or some way to custimase item apprence ?

[placid plinth]

Yes

and we don't have a way to make one item look like another yet. Currently the only way to change your appearance without changing your equipment is through the cosmetics system.

[kind wing]

Can anyone tell me how long the duration of the Black Hole skill is? If adding a note increases the duration, how much will it be based on the base?

[limpid dome]

2.75s

[solid gulch]

will we ever vizit Welryn in the Divine Era and will more locations in the verise Eras in will by accsibel in the futer?

[kind wing]

Did they accidentally forget that detail or did it show up in the skill?👀

[limpid dome]

Such stuff is not shown for most skills, sometimes it's listed in [alt text].

[placid plinth]

I just added it to the alt text right now.

[pine dome]

You seem to be on your computer Mike. May I ask again about Aspect of the Panther and Summon Bear ?

[kind wing]

Can I ask where you got the data? Can you share it with me?

[limpid dome]

Datamining

If I have the ring that gives zombies a chance to resurrect, and I have 2 of the rings, how does that stack?

Cool, thanks 🙂

What I just did won't be in a hotfix

[placid plinth]

I went to bed immediately after posting that, sorry. I'll look it up.

[deep verge]

I completely forgot, but does halo effect from lightning blast recast if you hit the first target again via convergence?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

Recasts should reapply. There is a bug I found while looking at this where it basically rolls "with disadvantage" if you play D&D. It rolls twice and if either fails it doesn't work. If you have 4 points in the node, it doesn't matter because it gets to 100%. So the chance actually looks like this per point.

0: 0%
1: 6.25%
2: 25%
3: 56.25%
4: 100%

This has now been fixed to do what the node actually says for 1.0.

[west inlet]

Hi 🙂

What was the reason behind changing SSF to shared stash between the characters?

( at least I think I remember seeing somewhere that it used to be different ! )

I ask because I don't find any reason to play SSF if my stash is shared between my accounts, and I don't find any SSF Leaderboard to have much of a point or impression on me. I suppose it may make more sense once Trade hits live play... but even then, if I want to go CoF, I could just continuously share my gear to my alts and it wouldn't feel too solo-like.

This holds especially true for Hardcore SSF. I can just twink out a "SSF" Hardcore toon from my other characters' runs and speed through what would otherwise be a deep and engaging experience. Even if my other HC characters died early ... if I keep playing and collecting the gear in my stash, I can just transfer them all over once I create a new toon.

THanks!

[placid plinth]

Because we were getting requests to add it and if we didn't do it by when multiplayer launched at the latest then it would have caused major problems down the road. Both options will be available at 1.0

[west inlet]

Both options as in, two SSF modes?

One with shared Stash, one without?

[placid plinth]

yes

[west inlet]

woohoo!

Thx Mike

[summer thorn]

what are the devs favorite builds? 😮

[quaint spindle]

necro anything

all day every day - give me minions

I love minion builds

[summer thorn]

id love a bee build but ive heard theyre subpar 😦

[split crystal]

I wonder Mike, with all the questions you get about skills and mechanics and what not, that you have to look up in the code, have you gotten really good at knowing where to find certain things? Or has it always been easy cuz you guys keep things nice and tidy?

[placid plinth]

Skill development is about half of my job and I've been involved with making almost every (player) skill in the game so I usually know where to look pretty quickly. It's also layed out pretty well. Half the time spent is usually looking up what the question is talking about because I don't know the display names of the nodes in question.

[split crystal]

Interesting, thanks.

[deep verge]

overcharge from lightning blast is implying the recast only works if it's directly cast but it's only specifying skills. Does that mean being procced by items like dragorath's claw have a chance to be recast?

[static vale]

That's a proc, you're not directly casting it.

[fierce cedar]

If Eterra never created the world the player characters are in, would she be safe then 🤔 ?

[placid plinth]

Sounds pretty boring to me.

[untold forge]

Has anyone ever calculated the amount of different builds the game has?

[bleak heron]

If i have a skill converted to 100% of a certain element (say, shuriken) and then i have an item that says that it converts 50% of said skill to the same element, that does nothing right?

[placid plinth]

I don't think so, it would be so hard to draw a line to determine what constitutes a unique build. Does changing 1 node change the build enough to be a different build? Most of the time no but I bet you could find an example. Does changing out a whole skill change the build? Probably most of the time but not always. I think this subjective reasoning would make it impractical to automate so someone would have to go through manually and you could super easily debate the results.

[placid plinth]

I think so but I'd need to know the specific example to be certain. It should work as you said but I'm not sure if there is an edge case or how each of the effects are worded because no all conversions are the same.

Shurikens combines all the lightning conversions together and treats all conversions 100% or more the same.

[bleak heron]

the example i was thinking was for shuriken converted 100% to lightning damage through the skill tree and then i got an idol that added 50% of its damage to lightning

[placid plinth]

The lightning conversion in Shurikens doesn't actually go above 100% behind the scenes.

[bleak heron]

so half of the idol does nothing in this case, as i understand it

[placid plinth]

All lightning conversion above 100% for shurikens has no effect.

[bleak heron]

okay, thanks for the answer!

[deep verge]

The thing is the tooltip is saying overcharge doesn't work if a skill is casting it. Not an item. So it's a bit confusing

[placid plinth]

A direct cast is when you have the skill on your bar and you press the hotkey for it. Everything else is indirect.

[quaint spindle]

Mike - do you ever sleep?

[opal copper]

is resonance going to be a 1.0 feature?

[quaint spindle]

I don't believe we've made public this info yet 🙂 stay tuned for our 1.0 reveals coming in Jan

[opal copper]

The FAQ mentions the resonance so that you can trade items gained while solo with friends you play with frequently. That was just a roadmap item, but without a targeted release version? Just making sure I understand.

[torn seal]

Would this work on minions?

Can we force minions go low life with this?

[placid plinth]

afaik it's still on the 1.0 list.

[somber marten]

It doesn't work on minions as far as this discord tested.

[placid plinth]

no. That whole affix doesn't transfer to minions

just barely beat me to it

[torn seal]

oh thank you. Do you plan to make it work?

[placid plinth]

There are a class of affixes that don't work with minions at all. We don't have any immediate plans to make them work with minions as it would present a very significant performance hit. If there was some alternate method found it could be considered but right now we don't have a way to do it without compromising too hard on the performance side.

Basically there is a giant script that sits on players which runs all the more complex stuff like this and sticking that on each minion would cripple the game.

[feral surge]

Is there an easy way for players to discern which affixes do or do not work on minions?

[little raptor]

Unity has been working on DOTS and ECS for a while, is that something you are or have considered using in Last Epoch?

[torn seal]

Ty for answer.

[ember grail]

Do you have any statistics how many reports do you get everyday by report bug mechanism in game? Can you tell us avg daily value?:)

[placid plinth]

ECS and DOTS are in much much newer versions of unity only. We don't have access to them.

[placid plinth]

We do, I don't know what it is exactly. It's a lot. I wouldn't say that people abuse the system and I think we have a pretty high ratio of good quality reports compared to the industry norm, but that says more about the norm than us.

[little raptor]

oh I didn't realize, I had heard of it quite a while ago but maybe that was some kind of pre release or announcement

[placid plinth]

we're on a pretty old version of unity

2019

ECS is 2022 I think

[little raptor]

oh wow that new? must have read about it long before they actually added it then

[placid plinth]

pretty sure DOTS is like just 1.0 now I think

to be fair 2022 first came out in 2021

[serene mango]

can you share the stun resist value of bosses or are we not supposed to know that? just stumbled upon that in the guide formula for stun and was curious

[placid plinth]

they don't have any, it's all health based for enemies

enemy defenses in generally are almost always just 0

[serene mango]

so the stun avoidance value is only smth thats manipulated by the player and not a mob stat that's inheritly there

[crude plover]

You don't manipulate it, the more damage your hit does and the more increased stun chance you have the higher your chance to stun them is. Their "stun avoidance" stat is always 0

What you want to know is the health values of bosses if you want to know the chance to stun them, which you won't get here ^^

[opal copper]

Are there any plans to add a gameplay setting to always display the details on the item card? Details being the rollable ranges for the Implicits and Modifiers? I found the setting for always showing the equipment compare, but not one for that. Thanks.

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no but you can #1123698164503949392 it if you want

[static vale]

Which is fair enough, but would it be possible to put something in the alt-text for the affixes that don't work on minions to say that they don't work on minions. Or in the game guide?

[crude plover]

#1123698164503949392 😄 gotem

[static vale]

:p

[placid plinth]

I think that the context of "this doesn't work on minions" is very niche and isn't important information outside of a few very specific nodes. I'd be more inclined to put it in the game guide.

[magic flax]

The summon ballista node "perfect aim" that makes your "critical strike chance and multiplier" also apply to the ballista, does it mean the various %increased crit chance stats you have (like the Marksman "Assassin's quiver node") or the bow +% base crit chance? Or it takes your crit chance from the character sheet in consideration?

[placid plinth]

When you summon a ballista, the game looks at what your current critical strike chance and critical strike multipliers are including temporary buffs and gives that to the ballista for the entirety of its duration.

So, if you have 4 points in that node and you summon your ballista while you have 100% critical strike chance, your ballista now has 100% critical strike chance.

It takes all the critical strike chances as they are, so if you have 10% bow critical strike chance, then the ballista has 10% bow critical strike chance.

Your ballista only uses bow abilities so melee, throwing and spell critical strike chance does nothing for it.

It doesn't matter where these stats came from initially.

[magic flax]

Ok wonderfull.. does that sum up with the previous node that grants +3% ballista base crit chance per node? So if i have 40% crit chance, the ballista has 5% base + 3% from 1 point in that node = 8%, does the total amount to 48% crit chance for the duration of the ballista?

** considering 4 points in the perfect Aim node, so 100% of my crit chance is applied to the ballista too

[placid plinth]

Yes, it works the same as all other stats do when they are combined.

[magic flax]

Thanks a lot for the helpful answer!

[little raptor]

<@&1082357055484071997>

its in every single channel too

[kind wing]

Mike, let me ask you how to add text about the duration of Black Hole, you mean a small update...thanks Mike

[west marten]

when loading screen fix?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I added the information to the game files that will be included with 1.0 on Feb 21

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I don't have any information available on the status of potential upcoming bug fixes and am personally unaware of a major loading screen bug that needs fixing.

Oh, I just got it, you mean the duration of the loading screen in multiplayer while playing online.

Multiplayer performance and optimization is our top priority. It is not a trivial problem and I don't have any details on any progress.

[fallen shoal]

Have you guys considered adding CDR for things not on the skill bar?

[placid plinth]

yes

[fallen shoal]

I am guessing there are no plans for it presently?

[placid plinth]

that's right

[fallen shoal]

👍 thanks!

[tired oak]

@placid plinth If i duo with someone regularly, how long should i expect to need to play with them for us to find a resonance?

[placid plinth]

That information is not available at the moment. I expect that it will probably be included in the Jan 11 devblog. (from the roadmap, this isn't new info)

[ember grail]

I know you using Unity to development so that's C#. But do you have any submodules or something like that wrote in any other language?
Why Unity? Was it a random choice or was there a specific reason?

[placid plinth]

There are elements of our multiplayer systems that aren't in C#. Unity was initially selected primarily for accessibility. Getting people in and prototyping immediately. Our team grew pretty quick in part because of us using Unity I think. Are there things about other engines or making your own engine that would be really fantastic to have? Big time, but we wouldn't have gotten this far if we had to pay for or build the engine first. We did start this quite a while ago and there weren't as many realistic options as we have today either.

[little coral]

Loved the new trailer! 🙂 Curious who made it? Was it in-house or did you outsource it?

[junior lintel]

So now I'm confused. Here you say it works the same as all other stats do, but also answered that my crit chance is simply added to the Ballista crit chance.

Given:
MyCrit = myBaseCrit * (1+sum(myIncreases)) * (1+myMore1) * (1+myMore2) ...

Is Ballista crit chance:

1. BallistaCrit = (ballistaBaseCrit * (1+sum(minionIncreases)) * (1+minionMore1) * (1+minionMore2) ...) + myCrit
   Or
2. BallistaCrit = ballistaBaseCrit * (1+sum(minionIncreases)+sum(myIncreases)) * (1+minionMore1) * (1+minionMore2) * (1+myMore1) * (1+myMore2) ...

Hope that makes sense.

[static vale]

#2, along with any relevant flat crit. All that node does is take any of your crit effects & apply them to your Ballista

[junior lintel]

Perfect. Just wanted to make sure it worked the way I thought it was worded. Thanks!

[static vale]

Per Mike, all it's doing is taking the player crit effects that wouldn't normally be applied to a minion & applying them to the Ballista in detail (ie, flat crit, % crit & crit multi) to the relevant minion stats

[junior lintel]

That makes sense. The thing that confused me is he said yes when the other user simply asked if the base crit of 8% was added to the player crit chance of 40% to total 48% and that wasn't how I understood Mike's explanation. But it's all clarified now. Thanks again.

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure we outsourced it. They did a fantastic job on it too.

Tottally not biased at all.

[little coral]

Haha ^^ for sure though. You know who it was?

[placid plinth]

Nope, the whole thing was very hush hush, even internally, I saw 3 screen shots of a test last month and then I saw the finished version 1 day early.

[little coral]

Ah like that. Thanks 🙂

[topaz hill]

Amazing trailer have not been that blown away since a Final fantasy one or a Blizzard one

Bravo

[placid plinth]

😄

[topaz hill]

Any timelines on the fix for desert waypoint quest fix? ❤️❤️ my completionist side of me is having a meltdown that I can’t finish it 😂😂

[static vale]

Yeah, apart from the deviant leftie shield user at the end, it was top notch.

[topaz hill]

Aha 😂 been a long time I’ve actually watched a trailer most of them are just so quick and snappy short scenes of nothingness… FF and Blizzard do something incredible with their cinematics and this for me was up there with them… which is great… but agreed leftie shield user 😂 I am sure they have existed though we can’t just deny them 😂😂😂

[static vale]

we can’t just deny themOh we really can.

[rough lynx]

What's the tech stack for the multiplayer? Did you use/buy and integrate any premade platform/framework such as Photon/SnapNet/FishNet/Forge, or did you develop your own netcode?

[placid plinth]

If it's not game breaking, 1.0 at the earliest.

[placid plinth]

We did initially use 2 of those (not at the same time) and have now developed our own replacement.

[rough lynx]

As someone passionate about game networking, I definitely think that's the right approach because a lot of optimization can be done to the protocol when accounting for a specific game's logic and boundaries.

However that's a pretty big endeavor, especially in engines like Unity or Unreal which simply cannot be made deterministic unless you just use them as renderers and run your own game logic, untied from mechanim/built-in state machines/physics, which aren't, and can't be made, deterministic.

Did the multiplayer beta launch with your own replacement, or did we players experience both?

[placid plinth]

You have not experienced our version yet at all.

(unless you're in the CT program)

Live currently uses Forge

[rough lynx]

That makes me very hopeful for the 1.0 launch! But also slightly scared since it's something very hard to properly nail with tons of potential footguns.

Do you plan to beta test it in the current early access a bit before 1.0 launch?

[placid plinth]

We are currently testing it with our CTs

[rough lynx]

How does the CT work, I'd be really happy to apply and give feedback if it's possible!

[placid plinth]

I feel like I saw something in the announcement that went out today about that. I don't think it's open for applications at the moment.

Currently the program isn’t accepting additional members, however we wanted to provide the reassurance that we’re as always committed to working closely with the community, and making sure we fulfill that cooperation and coordination for these important features. ```

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/november-2023-development-update/61455

I'm sure it will open up again at some point though.

[frail sentinel]

(Which isn't confusing AT ALL when talking to the team about the Crafting system 😠 😆 )

[placid plinth]

yup, that's why we had to switch /s

[west inlet]

Lol

[frosty lagoon]

The networking you guys are talking about is gameplay (killing monsters, monos etc) related and not town related? Or a bit of both?

[exotic gazelle]

networking refers to any communication between the client and server. movement, loading zones, using abilities, etc.

[ember grail]

I think you know this visual bug when enemies comming to character like a train? They do not using their legs. Will that be fixed on 1.0? Idk why, but this bugged animation really irritate me 😄

[pine chasm]

If it's not in #1123698102470189118 then they don't know

[ember grail]

So I added topic 😉

[static vale]

That's not the only place to post bug reports, they have an entire section on the forum as well.

[placid plinth]

I don't have any information regarding the status of bugs. If you find one, please report it.

[opaque falcon]

Does Smite within Multistrike not target bosses? Or is it suppose to?

[crude plover]

Multistrikes additional swords (smites) don't target the initial target

[opaque falcon]

thanks

[placid plinth]

👍

[exotic gazelle]

Just to add: The Unique One-handed Sword "Aurelis" enables this behavior for Bosses and Rare enemies

[opaque falcon]

thanks

[feral surge]

Well, it casts smite on the main target if its a boss or rare. It still doesnt make the additional swords (smites) hit it.

[placid plinth]

Multistrike is about hitting multiple targets, not hitting 1 target multiple times.

[kind nexus]

i think i know the answer but in umbral blades, does the sword thrower node's damage increase also increase the damage of the shard explosion subskill or does it just increase the area?

[placid plinth]

Yes. It's the same as it you had a node that just said +250% more damage.

[kind nexus]

glad i asked!!!!

[placid plinth]

ok, I'm going to double check then

[kind nexus]

oh no mike, and here i always talk you up

[placid plinth]

I was right, it's the exact same as if you had an item that just had 250% more damage on it

[kind nexus]

woooo

[final cave]

It does if you intentionally stand too far away and you swing at air! 😏

[sand scaffold]

can resonance gifted item be resonance gifted back to the original owner?

[placid plinth]

Sorry, we will.

[placid plinth]

89% sure yes

[sand scaffold]

haha that's a very particular confidence level

[placid plinth]

Part of me feels that there was some theoretical exploit case we found with this and we might have fixed it another way? I could also just be thinking about something else entirely.

[sand scaffold]

and is resonance a consumable?

[placid plinth]

yes

wouldn't make much sense to be an item if it wasn't

[meager mango]

Hi ! im new here ! Im just asking will there be any clas/guilds in the future ? Thanks and keep up the good work.

[placid plinth]

1.0 launch will not come with a clan or guild social system. It is something we are interested in doing eventually but it is a low priority feature for us.

As a side note, when this topic comes up, it sometimes gets confused a little bit with naming. In 1.0 we are introducing the Item Factions system. One of the factions that you can join is the Merchant's Guild. This is not a guild in the sense you are asking about.

[meager mango]

Thanks !

[keen spindle]

hey, ever thought about making runes of ascendance a currency too in the future? instead of just gold.
now Runes of ascendance gives you a random unique, maybe after a dungeon or a high corrupted echo. you can trade lie 100 runes for a more rare unique/legendary

[serene mango]

with 1.0 chance for lp will scale with corruption if i understood correctly, do you have a rough outline how that's gonna look compared to current lp chances? is the current state baseline lp chacnec at 100 corruption and gets higher from there or is it gonna be adjusted in some way

[teal crescent]

Hi there, maybe some dev online?

[ember grail]

@teal crescent just ask your question here. They will answer as fast as possible:)

There are possible legal DevSec tests? I cant continue next testing, just fear prod server can be down if I continue. That not safe.

[magic flax]

Hello! a couple of questions on the ring "Cycle of Putrescence".

• Does the volatile zombie revive chance calculation mean that if i have exactly 1 zombie, 100/1 = 100% chance to resurrect?
• Do the volatile zombies get the DOT tag in any way?
• Does the poison damage for minions DOT spells apply to the zombies "vomit" skill? Or since it's not a hit, it doesn't apply as flat damage?
  Thanks!!

[pine chasm]

Yes
If you give them the vomit skill
It only applies to DOTs, such as vomit

[placid plinth]

Yes, we have thought about that very extensively. You can't trade runes.

[placid plinth]

The base isn't changing. The amount corruption affects it is mild.

Hi got a question. Does the end chest that u get from completing echoes stack the loot that u would've gotten or is it a per echo thing?

[pine chasm]

It gives you loot based on the number of kills in the echo you just did. It is per echo, so you lose it if you go somewhere else or start a new echo without opening it.

[urban nebula]

ok ty for fast reply

[tough owl]

Why there is dedicated monolith for bows, but for swords and daggers only as part of monolith with four weapons types? Feels unfairly

[opaque falcon]

Is there an alternate form of contact for support? My requests for support are still going unanswered and I'm tired of waiting for an update for something I paid $240 for

[lost cairn]

Are you getting the automated response that your request was received?

[opaque falcon]

Yes. I need another form a contact. I'm tired of waiting for a response and just want a refund at this point.

[teal crescent]

This is why i send CM managers in DM. That fast and can be 90% that see. About automate reports, unity dashboard or other helpdesk system? in unity that 1000+ reports. very big counts. Human impossible to check all fast.

But i send not a minor or major bugs

[placid plinth]

A little while ago there was an issue which blocked replies to some support requests. All of our open tickets have had a human reply but it is possible this issue has come up again. I just sent a message to support to check if this is happening again.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, probably because bows have a much more specific niche use.

[opaque falcon]

About two months ago I got what I assume was a human reply that stated "In order to assist you with your physical items, we'll have to raise this ticket to our Senior Team." But again, two months ago. September 15th, to be precise

I am trying to receive one specific unique sword second week, it is torture, i am even not talking about legendary potential versions

So you have near 4x more chance to receive specific bow than specific sword or dagger

Ok, sorry for offtop, better to go to #1123698164503949392

[livid stirrup]

Using RoA is the most effective way to get a specific unique weapon

[haughty shale]

I send 2 requests for support 3 months ago and still have no answer too

[placid plinth]

It was replied to but somewhere between the reply and you getting it something went wrong and the ticket would have been automatically closed due to inactivity. It's been long enough that you should try again.

[haughty shale]

Thanks, I will do it again

[short quail]

Hello i just wanted to ask if there is a way people can get a item back if they lost it due to a bug before i would open a ticket for it?

[placid plinth]

I don't want to give a blanket no but I've never heard of a situation where we have been able to do that.

[short quail]

ok assumed so but i still wanted to ask since im new and it was such a rare drop but thanks for the answer 🙂

[obtuse quiver]

Plz open bugz section

[short quail]

im very sure its allready known but i will do so

[somber marten]

#1123698102470189118

[outer marsh]

How do the devs feel about mayo on pizza?

[obtuse quiver]

They forgot to add the interface section to #1123698102470189118.

[placid plinth]

What you do in the privacy of your own home can be horrifying and is still none of my business.

[placid plinth]

Just pick a tag that is closest

[silver rover]

Will there be a news post (or similar) on masochist mode before 1.0 release?

(Please ping me in response, I'm not super active in checking all the channels.)

[static vale]

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

[placid plinth]

The details on how we handle an optional difficulty setting probably won't be available until the 1.0 patch notes come out.

[final cave]

Heya. Given the substantial increase in enemy health and damage the corruption changes will have in 1.0, will there be a reset on legacy character timelines? One of my characters recently hit 200c and I'm honestly not sure if it can handle the 70% more damage, even in the reset node 😆

[placid plinth]

You can reset any timeline you want pretty easily.

[obtuse quiver]

Very interesting. Other people don't have that.

[placid plinth]

If you have a question about the game, I will be happy to answer it. If you have #1123697853882187847 or would like to submit a #1123698102470189118 , please use the appropriate channels.

I'm not really sure what the point of your post is.

[placid plinth]

There are a few types of echoes that are nonstandard that have meta effects like revealing a larger section of nodes, uncompleting the nodes do you can redo them, a boss that resets the whole timeline and increases the difficulty and more.

I'm sure we will continue to add more as time goes on. We don't have plans for more at 1.0

[fallen shoal]

Will we get any new supporter packs with 1.0? Personally hoping for one to design a unique 🙏

[wispy wren]

are there plans to allow for other viable late game alternatives to monoliths?

[placid plinth]

Yes, however none will include design a unique as an option. We are still not quite finished with the ones people have previously purchased and to be frank, at the price we were selling them, it is not sustainable. We would like to give people the opportunity to do this sort of thing again but we will be approaching the whole thing a little differently in the future. We haven't worked out the details yet but it's safe to say that we know we can't accommodate everyone who wants to do it and we need some method of fairly distributing those opportunities.

Personally, I would love to see it be a reward for winning some contest. We could also maybe do a lottery system.

[placid plinth]

We do plan to expand the end game systems from the core monolith, dungeon and arena trio that we have.

1.0 will just have those 3.

[fallen shoal]

Thanks for the info, I hope it's not just winning something because I never do

[wispy wren]

got it, I was curious as to if you would end up allowing players to progress through endgame ignoring some or all of monoliths if they choose to

if for example someone wants to make a build for arena, but realizes that the rewards aren't worthwhile

[placid plinth]

The problem is that if we just open it up as a purchasable thing without any sort of limit, in order to not get too many orders, we would have to price it so expensive that it wouldn't look very good at all and leave a lot of people disappointed and mad at us. If we keep the price reasonable and make it you have to win the draw, suddenly people are at worst disappointed and not mad also.

It sucks that we can't do it for everyone that wants it but we need some way to have this be a positive overall experience or else we just can't do it at all.

[placid plinth]

Oh, you don't have to do each timeline already. In order to unlock empowered, you just need to complete the 3 lvl 90 timelines.

[fallen shoal]

I totally get that, and I really appreciate the insight, I meant more just if it was like a race reward or something like poe has done recently

[wispy wren]

ah yeah that's true, was asking more about if we don't want to push corruption after and want something else to do if that makes sense?

[placid plinth]

Yup, ok, that's what I thought you meant originally, see my first reply.

[wispy wren]

awesome, thank you!

[placid plinth]

Yea, I'd really like to do that along side some lottery so you can either be lucky or good.

[fallen shoal]

Thanks again! Won't take up any more space in this channel now 😀

[west inlet]

Any plans to make a game mode like Ruthless from PoE, for LE?

And for 1.0 launch -- will we have only one game mode as we do currently?

[placid plinth]

We have previously called it Masochist Mode but removed it when multiplayer went live. We will bring back an optional difficulty mode but it won't be quite the same thing. No information is available yet.

1.0 will continue to have the 3 game modes that we currently have. No plans to remove 2 of them.

unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean by game modes in the second half of the question

[west inlet]

Err, I mispoke --

Will we have the same game modes we do now? No more, no less?

Sounds like yes, and potentially a different version of Masochist Mode in the future?

[placid plinth]

Character creation will have the option between

Normal / Hardcore
Cycle / Legacy
Group / SAF / SCF

Optional hard difficulty is not a character selection option.

[west inlet]

SAF = Account Shared Stash ?

SCF = Single Character Stash ? No sharing between anyone including other self-created toons?

[placid plinth]

yes

[west inlet]

Awesome

And is the optional difficulty coming after 1.0 is released?

[placid plinth]

no

[west inlet]

oh neat

and its not at character select

[placid plinth]

yes

[west inlet]

If Pinnacle Bosses do get released -- will they be considered an additional end game system, added onto the 3 (Arena, Monoliths, and Dungeons) ?

If so, it's safe to assume they wont be out at launch?

[placid plinth]

I don't expect everyone to know all the stuff we've said, just want to be clear that none of this is leaked info. 1.0 will not come with a pinnacle boss fight. We do want it to be a more complete system. I'm not sure if we will put it on the same level (scale wise) as those 3 or not.

[west inlet]

Thank you Mike 🙂

[hoary frigate]

Can we please have at least a small bit of feedback on the Unity start-up crash error? Is it even being worked on. Not a single word on that issue from any of the devs is frustrating...

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have any information on the status of bugs or their potential fixes. Every bug that gets reported gets added to the list so at the very least it's gone through triage. The best I can do is that I heard someone was working on something that I think could affect that. Best I've got for ya.

[hoary frigate]

thanks Mike at least smth

[south mirage]

Will Circle of Fortune be available for offline/legacy play?

[feral surge]

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, as far as you know; what's the best suggestion by a community member that either made it into the game or that you would/would've like('d) to make it into the game?

[static vale]

The Llama class (accountant, actuary & auditor masteries), obviously.

[placid plinth]

It's so hard to track where ideas first come from. I know I've pulled ideas from the suggestions channels mid meetings that have been approved but that's about as far as I can remember.

[livid stirrup]

we're going to need the timeslot for your ideation meetings please, so we can dump our brains into that channel for some real-time integration action. or just your Zoom link perhaps? (we'll stay muted!) 😉

[placid plinth]

Lol, we don't use zoom but good try.

[lost cairn]

Microsoft teams?!

[livid stirrup]

tell me it's Ventrilo and i'll give you +2 nerd cred

[static vale]

TeamSpeak?

[somber marten]

Slack?

[crude plover]

They be skyping

[placid plinth]

I miss vent. I loved that you could set up sub voice channels. That's what we used to raid WoW. 3 of us would just chat in our own little world the whole time without leaving the main channel.

[livid stirrup]

i used to do that in Everquest 1. i played a Monk, which was the raid-puller class. worked in collaboration with other monks to do tricky things with feign death and mob aggro ranges to split off mobs and run them back to the raid group. having the Ventrilo Shadows set up in a separate channel with separate PTT hotkey was great. the monks and the raid leader (our main tank and his primary healer) could communicate separately without clogging the main voice

[south cedar]

I'm having flashbacks to being a teen playing WoW and LoL

We used ventrilo as well, lol

[crude plover]

clear vents!

[livid stirrup]

my EQ2 guild was still using Vent as recently as 2018 (well into Discord's emergence and growth) because we liked the voice features more than Discord. we eventually did shift over though

[olive cargo]

Q: Does the first "Cycle" start when 1.0 drops or are you folks doing the D4 thing where it comes a bit later on? Just idly wondering.

[placid plinth]

They will start at the same time.

[olive cargo]

Ok cool thanks.

[magic flax]

Does cooldown recovery speed affect passive-related "skills" or abilites? Like Marksman's "Arrowstorm" (10 sec cooldown, 3 sec uptime)
If not, is there a plan to eventually let us manipulate those durations/cooldowns so we can tinker more with many builds?

[fossil dune]

(The answer to the first part is no, it only affects skills on your skillbar)

[magic flax]

Dang, thanks for that! One can hope

[placid plinth]

No and we don't intend to include a generic stat which affects this. Triggered abilities which we want to include that as an option get a follow up node which does this.

[placid plinth]

Why would I write genetic, that makes no sense.

[kind nexus]

Sorry I couldn't resist 🙂

[livid stirrup]

i think the bigger question is "why is there a DNA reaction"?

[kind nexus]

[lucid warren]

Is the game gonna come out on ps5

[light matrix]

Is the 1.0 release going to include the complete main story?

[final cave]

Nope

Chapters 10-12 won't be there

But, it's OK, you humans love cliffhangers. JJ Abrams taught us that

[placid plinth]

1.0 launch in 3 months will be PC only (Windows and Linux). This does include controller support.

We do have long term plans to eventually release on more platforms including consoles. I'm sorry, we don't have any timeline on that yet. We haven't started that process at all yet.

[ember grail]

Mike will we get any long-term roadmap after 1.0?

[south mirage]

Hi Mike, my question for the day: Filters - could/would you add value ranges for idols? I've played for a long time and am very tired of looking at low rolled idols 🙂 Also, it would be very very nice if we could have multiple affix lines so for example I can filter for health AND one of a number of mods. (not sure if that's clear).

[south mirage]

OH, and the ability to highlight LP vs regular Uniques would be nice 🙂

[fleet galleon]

Think they said that's not happening

[south mirage]

I dunno why, I appreciate the 'weight' theory on items in arpgs but this is not that game

[south mirage]

also Mike, my suggestion for the day: make echo rewards more impactful - ie. xp node, mobs give more xp, unique boot node - mobs have higher chance to drop unique boots, etc...

[placid plinth]

Sorry, we aren't doing any of that.

[placid plinth]

Post-1.0 and hot fixes, we will shift our communication and marketing to what comes next. We just want to focus on 1.0. I don't know exactly what that will look like yet.

[muted remnant]

Hi, long time LE player here. Thinking of buying a 21:9 (3440x1440) gaming monitor. Does LE have support for this resolution? Thought i better ask before i buy one!

[placid plinth]

Kinda. The UI isn't designed for it, we don't cater to it and there are a couple niche bugs you can hit in the campaign I think. It does work though.

[muted remnant]

ok thanks, something to think about

[wispy wren]

how is quest progress tracked/triggered? I've gotten some weird stuff when playing with friends 🤣

[placid plinth]

varies heavily depending on the quest. Basically each quest has steps and if you complete any step in a quest, it completes all steps in that quest before. There are a few trigger points that do quest catch ups and complete several quests all at once.

[opaque falcon]

Hey Mike, I got a reply today. And stuff seem to have been shipped recently. Thank you

[wispy wren]

would those trigger points complete ALL previous quests?

[placid plinth]

No, those only do main quests

[wispy wren]

okay i figured

Will there be native Linux build at some point ?

Basically running under proton sucks big way... freezes for 15s in critical battle and dead with hardcore character

[static vale]

For the same reason you facetank stuff in-game that you know you shouldn't?

I'm not sure what specific changes to build targets will come down the pipe. For now, the versions that we already have are what will be available at 1.0.

You can try enabling streamer mode. Does a couple things but mostly just locks the frame rate. This can have a significant effect on stability, especially for more powerful systems.

Would creating a mod to copy text to the clipboard be against the rules? I'd basically use it so that my screen reader could read what I need it to instead of needing to OCR everything.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I'm not equipped to answer that question fully. There is a statement of what isn't allowed somewhere on the forums. Sorry, would look it up but I'm on mobile at the moment.

I think it's worded in a way that would put you in the clear because you aren't using it to input commands to the game, it's just reading stuff. I'm not entirely sure though. I would suggest checking out lastepochtools and tunklab as they have tons of resources of stuff that you might be trying to copy already.

Do you guys plan to introduce pvp at some point ? Would be awesome if full loot but does not need to be, may losing player losses some experience and level drops, so they need to grind back. With at least something that adds to the thrill. Maybe pvp zones in some another dimension where players can grind stronger monsters with better rewards but also are at risk of meeting another player and having to fight.

Many games like this have some form of PvP, and it would be awesome for players seeking a thrill. Choosing to fight with HC character for example.

I really hope it will be possible at least to some extent. But imagine grinding and then another payers appears, your heart ❤️ accelerates

[placid plinth]

1.0 will not include PvP. We do want to include at some point. When we do add it, it will be a specific location that you'd have to go to to play PvP.

[tight beacon]

Thank you! That sounds great!

[placid plinth]

[bitter sleet]

an extremely inconvenient passive ability, which becomes a big problem at high corruptions. Mobs are able to drain all your mana in just 1 second. And the fire shield is included in almost all wizard builds because of the "Warmth" skill.

It would be very convenient if the developers would swap the passive ability "Mental Aegis" and "Warmth". And then everyone would decide for themselves to take such protective mechanics or not.

As for me, having 10k words on my character, the additional protection of 300 of my mana is like a drop in the ocean. And 0 mana is an extremely big problem at high corruption.

Hi Mike, if I have more than 100% on this do I have a chance to get +60 Fire Dmg ?

[coral ledge]

Hey I've been reading the development roadmap and I'm glad that the final systems and character subclasses will be implemented before the anticipated release, but I feel like there is a big thing missing: is the story going to be complete before the 1.0 launch? Or is the campaign going to be left on the cliff-hanger as it is in current state with the completion of the storyline to be released sometime after 1.0?

[flint bloom]

we will not be getting the 3 missing chapters at 1.0

[coral ledge]

GO BIRDS

sorry your name just triggered a reflex or something

[flint bloom]

damn right Go Birds

[coral ledge]

So will the final 3 chapters be part of the eventual core game, or is the story going to be completed in like a DLC or expansion? I know most people don't play ARPG games for the story, but the story to this one is actually somewhat compelling lol

[pine dome]

No dlc in the way of expension or extra thing you need to pay.
We will get the remaining chapters as part of cycles content. Somewhere down the road

[coral ledge]

Sounds good, thanks for confirming.

[placid plinth]

No, chance going over 100% to have a shot at double effect is just an ailment thing unless otherwise specifically stated.

[placid plinth]

and yea, they are right we will roll out the last 3 chapters over the several of the early cycle releases after 1.0 and won't require buying an expansion.

[olive cargo]

Is it possible to have more than 100% crit, and if so, does it have an extra damage mechanic like, say, Warframe?

[placid plinth]

It is possible to have more than 100% crit but as I said 2 posts up:
chance going over 100% to have a shot at double effect is just an ailment thing unless otherwise specifically stated.

[upbeat nacelle]

are there many plans to update the UI when it comes to character sheet and tooltip dps numbers? if not, then i will post some critiques in suggestions or feedback. if so, then i await them eagerly.

[placid plinth]

It's become a bit of a running joke at this point. We keep saying that we're going to update the character sheet and it just keeps getting pushed back. It is still on the list and will happen eventually. The ability tooltips have a couple very minor changes probably happening soon but nothing major at all. We are very happy with the state that ability tooltips are generally in. Some skills don't have proper dps calculations yet and those will get added eventually.

If you have feedback or suggestions for them, it's best to just post it in #1123697853882187847 or #1123698164503949392 when you have it.

Hey devs - couple of quick questions:
What is Tornado's base duration? (Shaman 5 skill)
Do the Twisters summoned by Maelstrom's Grip of Chaos Node have the same base duration?

[runic quail]

Hellow all. I have strange numbers with armour shred stacks.
Im using thorn totem with 100% chance to shred armour (talent node). And 2 idols with +% Icrease cast speed for totems. (+24% and +29%)

Placing 3 totems till duration ends:

1. No idols: ~27 stacks.
2. +24% : ~18 stacks.
3. +24% +29%: ~33 stacks.

Spamming 9 totems:

1. No idols: ~99 stacks.
2. +24% : ~66 stacks.
3. +24% +29%: ~76 stacks.

Is there somthing like Diablo 2 animation frames treshold, or i missing something else?

[placid plinth]

All are 4s

[placid plinth]

Those numbers are extemely confusing to me. Best to make a #1123698102470189118

[runic quail]

Ok, thank you.

[flint bloom]

when doing damage, do all DoT'd get calc'd and applied seperately? Or are they calc'd and added together and applied every second?

asking mostly for the mana on kill with spirit plague. Do i have to battle other DoT effects to get that mana back...or as long as the spirit plague is on when a DoT tick kills

[placid plinth]

Each is individual, we sometimes combine damage numbers for multiple ticks but the game knows which skill got the kill.

[flint bloom]

that makes that node less than ideal then. appreciate the fast response

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, Out of curiosity , How do we trigger the Ambush during an echo ? Is it a random chance when you kill a monster ? Is there a monster that is marked when you enter the echo ? Or something else ?

[blissful loom]

I believe it is when you kill a certain number of enemies, but it is slightly randomized each time.

[sleek kelp]

Is there reason you're not using steams recommended pricing?

Are you going to update your games new regional pricing to reflect the changes made on the 20th? As your game currently is not the steams recommended price for the regions MENA & LATAM as they are known for now.

Here is some information if you have missed it.

https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2720-4EC7-B95A-1D2A

https://x.com/pcgamer/status/1727004093309124646?s=20

Failing to update your games pricing for the regions correctly will result in either less sales or your game being pirated across these regions which some are huge.
This is why valve has contacted every developer to update their pricing for the 20th November 2023 change that took place on steam.

Here is valve recommended pricing for your game.

We are aware that a change happened 2 days ago. We are right on the cusp of an internal milestone that is taking our attention at the moment. We will take a look at it and decide what to do. We just saw this yesterday so we will need a little time to figure it out.

[placid plinth]

1, Shatter Strike is 2 individual abilities that overlap very slightly in the center. (I am second guessing myself in that we might have given them a shared hit detector but I can't remember)

[sleek kelp]

Thank you for your reply. But valve suggested prices are clear with it and there isn't really anything to figure out I don't think. Unless you want people in some of these regions to pay up to 94% more than usualy.

I also get it it's an option for the Devs but since most games have changed was wondering why you haven't yet.

[placid plinth]

Because the people who decide this thing have known about the change for about a total of 2 hours of "office time" and are preoccupied with our biggest internal milestone of the cycle to date. There are also more factors at play here than you might realize. I'm sure they will get to it as soon as they can.

[sleek kelp]

Again thank you for even replying but valve has sent emails to all Devs 1 month prior to these changes. Anyways hope to see an update maybe one day on this as it will effect sales and other factors imo. Take care

[opaque falcon]

With the skill Multistrike, there is a node that pushes your armament swords out further in area of attack. Is this set to a range from the center of the player and moves further outward? Or does the range move beyond the player? Meaning the new center is placed outside melee range and the max range extends further from that point.

[placid plinth]

the ability location doesn't change, the center is slightly forward from your player and is affected by weapon distance

[frail sentinel]

Mike - in the 'Death Caused By' list on the respawn screen, is there an option for self inflicted player death?

[placid plinth]

It doesn't check for that specifically, but it would probably put something like "player"

[frail sentinel]

Thanks, just making sure! Player death was credited to a mob instead of them after using the last of their HP for an attack!

[crude plover]

I know for a fact that if you hit an enemy in the centre of the 2 blades it counts as two individual hits for the sake of applying ailments and on hit effects.

[tight beacon]

lol i tried to play again, 4lvl first boss, freeze for 8s

i really want to play with hardcore character, don' want to play this game with soft character, but impossible with freezes like this

and yes I filed a bug report

[pine dome]

Nice #1123697853882187847

[opaque falcon]

What does it mean when a blessing has a full blue and yellow circle around it?

[placid plinth]

max (empowered) roll
the yellow is on/off and that's just empowered or regular and the blue fills up as the roll gets better

[opaque falcon]

Does that mean once the blue is filled it switches over to be "Grand"?

Thanks for the help in understanding.

[flint bloom]

no. there are two kinds of each blessing. "normal" and grand. grands only drop from empowered timelines, and always have better ranges for the rolls than their normal counterparts

cannot turn a normal into an empowered, have to find the blessing in empowered

rolls are rng drops, and grinding blessings are one of the BIG endgame grinds in LE

[placid plinth]

👍

[opaque falcon]

I just started empowered and haven't defeat a boss yet so the structure you explained makes so much more sense.

[wispy wren]

Is the tooltip accurate for hammer throw’s disintegrating aura?

[placid plinth]

As far as I know. Is there a specific part of it you are suspicious about? DPS will never be perfectly accurate. If you think you might have found a bug, please report it directly.

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, I was wondering about the rate of corruption gain in the current game; if you guys feel like it's in a good spot, should be slower or faster and if that's something you guys are looking at for the corruption rebalance, or if that's purely just for shifting the numbers on the modifiers.

[placid plinth]

It's a piece of the puzzle that gets looked at. I don't know if there will be any changes to it though.

[wooden blade]

do these nodes buff all my active crows or only a single one each proc? it is really hard to test because of the not existing visual indicator of both buffs

[tight beacon]

Are there plans to introduce more mage spells ?

[placid plinth]

Mage has all the skills it will have at 1.0.
We plan to add more abilities to all classes over time in patches down the road.

[placid plinth]

Each (all of them)

[frail sentinel]

Mike, what is your contribution to Turkeyday dinner?

[placid plinth]

I do the prep and brine on the bird and then I make killer gravy after. But that was 45 days ago for me.

[frail sentinel]

Did not realise you were also from Canadia! Good gravy can make or break a dinner

[placid plinth]

Big time

[frosty lagoon]

Wow you age your gravy 45 days how fancy!!!!

[placid plinth]

gross

[fluid axle]

Will sets be reworked by 1.0 or is that planned afterwards?

[exotic gazelle]

after 1.0

[opaque falcon]

are we getting a replace moving with left click to right click option soon ?

[placid plinth]

No but we did just add a way to bind movement to a keyboard key

[opaque falcon]

i cant switch between the moving with left click and right

[somber marten]

They er, literally said no.

[placid plinth]

That's right, it's not an option at this time.

[placid plinth]

I feel like I missed the joke.

[opaque falcon]

its not a joke

i just didnt read it right

my issue is im getting this message while ive already removed the bind

thats why i came and asked

[placid plinth]

You might need to reset the binding and try again.

[opaque falcon]

still cant

[placid plinth]

what are you trying to bind it to?

[opaque falcon]

to bind the left click to right click

[placid plinth]

ok, so I just want to be super clear with this.

You can't bind left click to right click at all.

[opaque falcon]

sure

ty for the big help u give

[frosty lagoon]

Is that a design decision or just a coding quirk?

[placid plinth]

I'm going to go with limitations of preexisting and interconnected systems.

[sharp bronze]

do you guys have any avenue to maybe suggest a new unique item?

[placid plinth]

Yea, the #1123698164503949392 channel is a good place.

[sharp bronze]

kk ty 🙂

[static vale]

It can. My Dad's was the best, my mother-in-law's was vomit-worthy (she was a veggie & just gave us the "meat juices/fat from the bird as "gravy" 🤢, infact, there were only 3 meat-eaters & she did a massive turkey).

Is there any reason why we can't get bleed chance on wands? It's always confused me, especially when Lich has several DoT affecting passives

[humble spire]

Sooo, is there a way to restore a deleted character? I swapped to "Offline" characters to remove them, deleted one, and didn't know it changed me back to "Online" after. So I just deleted my 2 Online ones too 😦

[placid plinth]

I haven't heard of any characters being restored after a manual deletion but your best bet is to contact support directly. I don't want to get your hopes up but if anyone can help, it's support.

!support

[fiery lily]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[humble spire]

I appreciate it

[placid plinth]

Also, I just checked on our internal build and it didn't auto switch be back to online. Not sure if this is something that was fixed or not but it won't happen in the future.

[urban nebula]

how much xp in total is it to reach lvl 100

[placid plinth]

1,000,000,000

[crude plover]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-its-over9000-gif-14419267

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, do forging potential costs:

A) Work kinda like affix rolls where the high and low end are rounded and it's a standardized value that's rolled and then applied to the range?

B) A weighted roll, and if so, weighted how?

C) A "random"(standard random method of C# or something similar) integer roll from the minimum to the maximum, no rounding involved.

D) None of the above. And if so could you please elaborate? Understand if not of course.

Great stream today btw ^^

[placid plinth]

It rolls in the rage that you see with a very standard random function. Then it checks to see if it's going to be a "lucky craft" at roughly 1/4 chance. Then if it is, it rolls again with the upper limit being the 1st roll.

So if you are rolling between 1-17 forging potential and you get 8. Then succeed the lucky craft roll, it rolls again between 1-8.

So it's a weirdly weighted roll.

[crude plover]

Ah but a standard roll has equal chance for all outcomes yeah? That's great. Didn't know that about critical successes either, great info.

[placid plinth]

yea, each roll is unweighted but with all 3 rolls together the process is weighted

[crude plover]

Yup, thanks a bunch!

[placid plinth]

This is not critical success. Critical success is another chance that just makes the cost 0

[crude plover]

Ohhhh

[placid plinth]

and glyph of hope is another thing that makes the cost 0

[crude plover]

So the "lucky craft" is an invisible helping hand kinda?

[placid plinth]

yes

it's not mentioned anywhere other than if people ask us

(this isn't the first time though)

[crude plover]

Haha, glad I asked then

The reason I asked was because it felt like the average cost was suspiciously low ^^

[hushed socket]

is there a way to cancel a quest bc iam stuck on artificial waypoint when i stond on the platform and tp it stil says go on the use artificial waypoint

[west inlet]

Mike, I have a serious question for you that I hope you will take the time to sit down and consider as a developer, and more importantly, the current public face of LE

Did you know, that you are, in fact -- a G ?

[placid plinth]

sorry, there is no way to cancel a quest at the moment in game. If it's offline there is a way but I wouldn't recomend it. If it's onine, you can get in a party with someone who has to go through the quest like normal and as you complete it with them, it will go away.

[placid plinth]

I think on some level I'm aware of it but I don't usually feel it. I'm also just a reflection of all the epic people who make this game. I just happen to like to stand up in front of a room.

It has come in handy a few times. In my last year of university I was in a class that had us doing a 3 month long, 10 person group project with a huge presentation at the end. Nightmare fuel eh? Well, the rest of my group thought so. Every other group split the presentation up between everyone and they were all exactly what you'd expect from a group of coders. I did ours on my own. I did half as much work as anyone else on the actual project and just practiced the presentation. We got the highest mark in the class on the project. I think it was mostly because people were playing to their strengths and not worrying about presenting.

We have some mega talented people who have no interest at all of ever sitting in front of that camera and instead just make me look good. So while I may be a G, it's super not just me. 😄

and it's still very nice to hear so thank you.

[true nacelle]

Is there any chance this game ever comes to console?

[pine chasm]

Yes eventually, but they haven't started on it and don't have a timeline on it. #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[true nacelle]

Thanks for the response, I’ll be eagerly waiting lol

[cursive sparrow]

people playing it on steamdeck afaik not other consoles yet

[west inlet]

Thank you Mike 🙏

Beyond what you've expressed, you still show a deep and constant responsiveness to the community that stays true to you and what I believe EHG to be -- and you take good care of each and every question... no matter how many times it's been asked or how 'silly' it may be.

That is a beyond-rare quality that is found only within those who deeply care (for better or worse!).

Deep bow and kudos to you.

Your reflection shows the potential and integrity of the game and the team, and the community can feel it (consciously or not 🙂 .

Greatly looking forward to seeing everything unfold.

Cheers!

[bitter sleet]

this is some kind of mockery

[crude plover]

#1123697853882187847

Plus they're literally changing it so wtf lol

[torn seal]

What do you guys think about buff duration affix?

[bitter sleet]

Good idea, but the more affixes, the greater the range of possible combinations of things that fall out and the fewer things that can be crafted with the right affix

[static vale]

Would someone mind explaining to a pasty white middle-aged Englishman what exactly a "G" is?

[bronze sorrel]

simply put, someone you respect. obviously theres more nuance it it, but thats basically the idea

[south cedar]

A proper gangsta

[naive vortex]

Is there a cap for cast speed ?

[somber marten]

No hard cap

[fossil dune]

^ the cap is just "how much can you actually get before you're out of sources?"

[naive vortex]

And a soft cap ?

[somber marten]

"How much can you get?"

[naive vortex]

yea forget my question. We want to figure out if it is better to have high cast speed 370% or to change some cast speed to crit multi. Slower higher dmg numbers or faster smaller dmg numbers ^^

[somber marten]

the answer is mostly 'It depends"

[fossil dune]

^

(Also we should move lol)

[placid plinth]

I think it would be cool if it were feasible. It would require us to go back and rebalance and reimplement every buff in the game.

[final cave]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-lloyd-theres-a-chance-jim-carrey-gif-11098164

[placid plinth]

lol

[atomic crown]

Are corruption/echo XP bonuses level-capped? e.g. if I'm level 20 in a 1k corruption lvl 100 mono with 700% xp, is xp scaled down to 30 and then multiplied by 7, or some lower coefficient?

[dapper wind]

if a companion dies and revive circle is on the ground, the picture shows the last known health in the top left; will there be in the future an UI change so we see that its death/needs to be revived? and in general an update on other companion/minion stuff to the display on top left like buffs and other stuff, if they come, will they come all at once with the overhaul of the character sheet stats? or is all of that (besides the overhaul of the stats) not even planed/on the to-do-list?

[flat oar]

Hey everyone, how come I can't swap RMB AND LMB, friend can? Also I was able to swap it few months ago when I played it

[torn seal]

I think you dont give yourself enough credit. Most of buffs duration is 4sec. I would say it is consistent enough.

or maybe incereased buff effect affix ?

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, can you share how will Corruption influence the lp / ww drop rate?
Does it "increase" the area lvl? Or something else?

[placid plinth]

Without going into how each one of those is coded, you're just going to have to believe me. It's not going to happen.

[placid plinth]

It applies a slight minor increase to the chance.

[placid plinth]

As far as I'm aware it's never been possible to do this. If your friend can or you were able to, those are both bugs as far as I know.

[placid plinth]

We don't have any specific plans for any of those changes. Would make a good #1123698164503949392 post though.

[placid plinth]

I'm not actually sure if the xp gain rate cap is applied before or after the xp bonus from corruption. I think it's supposed to not give you the corruption bonuses at all but I'm not sure.

[solid gulch]

some of the class have 4 abilities while most have 5 ,will there by and addition of more abilities ?

[static vale]

Yes, all classes & masteries will have the same number of skills (eventually), not sure if that'll be 1.0 or not though.

Miiiiiiiike, Increased Rarity in monos does increase the chances of T6/7 affixes & uniques doesn't it?

[scarlet geyser]

Anyone know if their will be masteries reset in the future?

[somber marten]

No. It's deliberate.

[scarlet geyser]

Darn it. Guess ima need to start a new mage just for runemaster xD

Ty for info

[pine chasm]

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

[placid plinth]

We will continue to add more skills to the game post-1.0. Not all classes will have the same number of skills at 1.0. For example, Paladin, Shaman and Lich will have fewer.

[placid plinth]

Yea, exalted and unique are higher rarity items.

[unique notch]

Is it possible to make it so that when you take an item off that gives +1 to skills that it removes the last added skill point instead of a seemingly random one? (this has probably been asked before)

[static vale]

No, it's intended that it removes a point from a node that doesn't break the tree but also that wasn't the last one you added to prevent people from quickly swapping by unequipping & re-equipping the item with +skills on it. They have a formula that works out which node it should be removed from.

[unique notch]

I see

[placid plinth]

It is possible that it could be the last one added but that would just be a coincidence, it doesn't know which was the last node you allocated.

[meager mountain]

when you use the Primalist skill "Eterras Blessing" with the upgrade (Overgrowth) that heals nearby allies too, will that also grant them any buffs that the blessing gives as well? for example those buffs given by the "Ardent Touch" upgrade or the "Savage Boon" upgrade
or will it only heal them?

[little raptor]

This channel is #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs, feedback or bug reports should go in #1123697853882187847 or #1123698102470189118 . Additionally, this is a known issue.

[hard kestrel]

sorry then, deleting the message.

[alpine ridge]

will this be steam deck compatible?

[desert sand]

To quote Mike: "Forever is a long time" - the team has said before that they would love to have Console native versions out there, but it's not in the immediate future; however, the full controller support (and even the majority support that exists now) coming makes Steam Deck spcifically very possible - there are often threads in #❔┃ask-the-community about tweaks done to the environment to get it running smoothly.

[alpine ridge]

ok thank you, will be cool for steam deck

[twin tulip]

Since I've seen the Quill Boars the first time I wish there was a unique that makes our thorn totems to permanent Quill Boars that shoot their needels on enemys while looking totaly adorable. Is there a chance we get something like this as a unique power or as a mastery passive for the Shaman 😄 ?

[west inlet]

How will items transferred from Cycles into Legacy interact with the Merchant's Guild requirements?

Also -- will gold transfer?

[south cedar]

As it is rn I've put over 400hrs on the Steamdeck itself playing LE. Its fairly functional without having full support yet

I rarely crash on it as well

[placid plinth]

that's very cool to hear. I think you probably have one of the biggest steamdeck playtimes for LE out there at this point. It's something that when we take a look at, we will probably put out the bat signal to the community for advice when we do.

[placid plinth]

Some of these details are still not quite set in stone.

My guess as to what we will set out to make will look something like this:
Your characters and anything equipped will just become Legacy. Any SCF stashes will just transfer over like normal. SAFSC, SAFHC, SC and HC stashes will each transfer over as remove only tabs in your legacy stash. Crafting materials and gold transfer in their respective categories.
This has not been finalized and if we do set out to make this work, some of it may not be possible.

Oh sorry, you were asking if your gear will fall off when you transition from Cycle to Legacy. Totally missed that somehow. Good question, I don't know how we will fix that.

[sharp bronze]

do we have an ETA on when keys will be stackable? xD

[placid plinth]

not yet

[sharp bronze]

xD dang kk...looks at my 2 characters full of keys hahahaha

[torn seal]

Can we have a q&a with runemaster design team?

[crude plover]

Will the merchants guild work the exact same in the "legacy realm" as it does in cycles? Feels like inflation could get pretty crazy after a while since people wouldn't be buying stash tabs and stuff anymore.

[placid plinth]

There were roughly 10 people who had a major hand in the design of the runemaster and at least another dozen with a less direct role. So it's hard to get all those people together. If you want to maybe submit a few questions, I can get a few to answer each.

[placid plinth]

The value of all items in gold is naturally pegged to the average gold required to get something that good from the vault of uncertain fates.

[versed bone]

hello sir mike. Is it possible to swap left click and right click? I tried to do it but it always says right click is in use even i did not find right click in use in the input keys action table

[bitter sleet]

why can't I choose?

[somber marten]

Looks like the line is one way even in LETools, might be a bug

[bitter sleet]

doesnt work, but why

[flint bloom]

As the previous person who answered said..."Might be a bug". Reposting it over and over isnt going to change that. There are a few other skill trees that have some weird pathing issues as well. Either way submit a bug report for it

[blissful loom]

I've just fixed this internally. Will be included at 1.0.

[placid plinth]

No.

[alpine ridge]

that is cool, did you have to use any community controller layouts or does it work with default steamdeck controls?

[surreal badge]

<@&1082357055484071997> are you thinking about changing games price in mena region because of the change in pricing policy of steam

Please do not use that ping unless it is an emergency.

It's still on our radar but we haven't made a decision yet.

[surreal badge]

oh sorry i didnt know that :/

[placid plinth]

We keep a pretty close eye on this channel. That ping doesn't go to me and I still saw it in 5 mins.

[open jay]

I've wanted masteries reset too.

I think it would be a great addition to a fantasic game.

[surreal badge]

for example i bought the game for 350 Turkish Lira which is 12 dollar but its 1000 Turkish Lira at the moment

[placid plinth]

[surreal badge]

ok sorry about that i wont use that ping again unless its an emergency

[open jay]

I know Mike, still going to advocate for it to be a possibility in the future at some point.

😄

[somber marten]

Just to add:It's literally the only thing you can't reverse.

[placid plinth]

Yup, we've already had this suggestion in detail in this channel. We are still deciding what we are going to do.

[open jay]

I know it is the only thing we cannot change.

[surreal badge]

oh ok that good to know

[open jay]

I'm now playing a necromancer, loving the way you guys handled the necromancer in this game. Way better than any other necro I have seen in ARPGs in recent times.

This game blows the other competition out of the water in my opinion. You guys, as devs, kept in mind that people like to play these games for power fantasy. So many games seem to lose sight of that fact and want to take themselves way too seriously.

[placid plinth]

thanks

[open jay]

No, thank you all :D. At least one game out there still understands fun as the core of the game.

I made a suggestion for a favorite button option and a sell all option. Has this been considered? I have a disability, I use controller. I cannot physically hold multiple buttons to sell quickly. Has these implemtations been given consideration?

Those would be two major QOL accessibility considerations, in my opinion.

[placid plinth]

I don't think we've discussed it.

[open jay]

If this would be a possibility of discussion, that would be greatly appreciated 😄

[frail sentinel]

I remember seeing this and logging it for the team! All feedback and suggestions get logged and sent over then discussed when meetings occur, depending on how much feedback there's been it might take a meeting or two for something to come up though everything does at some point! 😊

[open jay]

That sounds great Averielle. I know that accessibility issues are not always common concerns. But, as a person who has played games all my life since 3 years old and only has use of one arm, I value when accessibility considerations are discussed and implemented in games.

I am curious too, if this game is being considered at some point for console releases. I would definitely buy it for my ps5 if it was released on it in the future.

[frail sentinel]

It is! Though it's a future plan, the team are focused on launching PC 1.0 before looking at console versions! It is on the list!

[open jay]

Sounds good. I will definitely be on the look out for the release to console. I rarely buy a game for both pc and console. But, this game just brings me back to days of Diablo I and II (the best era of the ARPGs in my opinion). Thus, it makes me want to support the game on multiple platforms because of how awesome of an experience I have had. I also want to say, I appreciate how the devs made level requirements for unique items in the game to be rather low, thus, providing opportunities for starting new classes with found gear and feeling the power much quicker because we already found the gear we needed on our other characters. This was well thought out and just adds to replayability.

[frail sentinel]

Thank you! I'll pass this to the team if that's okay? It's always nice to share compliments!

If you have any other #1123697853882187847 or #1123698164503949392 for Accessibility or anything else, please share it with us!

[open jay]

You are welcome to share the compliment with the team. I am surprised if no one has already mentioned the compliment though :D. I will add other suggestions/feedback in the appropriate channels. Sometimes I just want to have devs see things in real time for considerations, as I know somethings may be lost on forums or not get noticed.

Have a great day/night (where ever you are).

[pine chasm]

You asked if it was unfinished, so the answer "no" means it's not unfinished (in other words, it is finished).

[golden bronze]

Hi, i'm loving the game. I am just wondering if you plan on adding more cosmetic flare to the game. The environments look amazing and the armor sets look great. But there seems to be lacking variety and only only set to purchase in the shop. I knew its early and you're clearly focusing on content and polish. But I was hoping to see more customization in the future. Thanks!

Awesome!

[torn seal]

My favorite thing about LE is general farming intead of target farming. Finding lp unques or interesting exalteds feels so exciting. Exiled mages and weapon caches are great additions to the game and they reinforce this kind of gameplay greatly. For future content do you plan to follow same design philosophy?

[tight beacon]

I remember when I was in high school and we were chatting with friends before classes what items we dropped XD

but it was other game:)

[placid plinth]

We strive for a balance of targeted and random gear. We strategically place items in different spots based on how we expect them to be used in the gearing process. If some effect is particularly build defining, we try to give more deterministic leaning paths of acquisition so people can give themselves a better chance at getting their build online.

Seconding this: it's not often that I buy multiple copies of a game (whether for different platforms, or to gift away for friends and acquaintances) but I've bought 5 copies of LE so far, and would honestly do it again in a heartbeat if it meant another person gets to enjoy this work of art.

EHG, well done. It often gets lost in translation, or in the mountain of work that comes with designing, creating, and maintaining a game like you have, but you've got a community that really appreciates that work you all put in. You've succeeded handily at that inital goal: uniting ARPG enthusiasts around a game that you built, and I have a feeling we'll all be celebrating with you in February.

I am feeling the love today and I like it 😄

Make sure to pass it on to those who don't like Discord... and offer still stands: when crunch time comes and you all lose a couple hours of sleep over "that thing I'm sure I can get in before the code freeze" I'll buy coffee for the team (or tea if they'd prefer)!

[frail sentinel]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I makes notes of and share comments like yours with the team whenever they come up! It's always a great day when I get to pass along compliments! ❤️

Hi Mike,
I was catching up with last Friday Devs Stream (thank you for doing thoses ❤️ )
You were confused by your Shield Throw mana cost.
I think you forgot you took this node, and it increases greatly the mana cost.

Thanks again for the streams

[pine dome]

And you were talking about the multiples items you added in the game,
Which one (currently avaible) has the best design ? According to you

[queen notch]

is this nice weapon for a warpath void knight?

im doing like 70 llv echoes atm

[cunning root]

Yes

[queen notch]

how do i actually benefit this?

[cunning root]

Go shatter a 2 handed sword while having this unique equipped and all its affixes will be transferred to this unique sword.

[queen notch]

ooh

so i need to craft a nice 2h sword

then shatter it to transfer right

ok

[crude plover]

Yes

[queen notch]

too bad my weapon is kinda nice rn but its an axe

still couldt found a replacement for this one

[crude plover]

If you have a rune of creation you can use that first so you can keep your weapon after shattering, wouldn't really do that with a rare though ^^

When defeating spider on the ship (lvl 33) I get reward when I leave the ship, but I didnt get the reward because another map loaded quicker and I didnt manage to click fast enough to accept it. I see it's not in my stash.

Has the skill "Javelin" been changed from costing 9 mana to 10 mana recently? The planner shows 9 mana, but in-game shows 10.

[bitter sleet]

How can I fix it ?

[placid plinth]

still 9

[placid plinth]

we have to fix it

[opaque falcon]

Ok, thank you Mike.

[west inlet]

Any plans for implementing more horizontal progression avenues?

[placid plinth]

Yes, the primary system we are adding in 1.0 is the first of the factions but we will continue to add more to that system and others.

[wispy wren]

are we still planning on using gold as the trade currency?

[pine dome]

Gold and favours

[wispy wren]

ah so u can't actually trade items for items right?

[pine dome]

!trade

[fiery lily]

TRADE NEWS! https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[placid plinth]

that's right, you can't trade items for items, it's gold only.

[cursive sparrow]

are there any plans on tweaking life/ward balance, especially twisted heart item? maybe not in 1.0 but are devs aware of ward being a lot stronger than hp now?

[placid plinth]

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

[queen notch]

@crude plover @cunning root thanks a lot for info

[opaque falcon]

The community helped out. Its all good Mike. The game works perfectly. I was wrong and was using a passive in VK that added cost to Throwing attacks.

[cosmic current]

Probably the millionth non-specific question you've gotten about cycles, but I read that the first few are likely going to be evergreen mechanics. Can we expect those to be additional content mechanics within Monoliths? That's what I'm looking forward to the most.

[placid plinth]

The only details I can share are about 1.0. That is bringing the item factions and the remaining 2 masteries.

[bitter sleet]

will all the characters from the beta version be transferred to the main league or will there be a complete purge of all the characters?

[fleet galleon]

They'll go to permanent league, basically PoE standard
They will not go to the new league that starts.

All the new content in the new league will also be available for the permanent league though
so you'll miss out on: ladder and fresh start

[polar tundra]

Are there any plans for gamepad, and possibly steam deck support?

[frail sentinel]

Steam Deck and controller support are planned though Last Epoch is very playable at the moment! We have a player with 400+ hours on Steam Deck.

I have some threads that help with controller set-up and steam deck advice too!

Controller Set-up- It's says movement fix in the post title but it's a player guide for setting up Controller to work around the targeting issue some players have!

Steam Deck This one for more generic advice for Steam Deck that might help if you have any issues 😁

There's the threads if you need them!
