[dusty furnace]

can i convert fireball to 100% lightning if i take both the plasma ball node and the Liath's Machinations unique gloves? Both state that they convert 50% of fireballs base damage

[pine chasm]

Yes

[fallow dust]

I have not played in a year now and planning to from 1.0 but as I was checking some of the skills i used to lvl 100 back then I'm like.. you guys didn't change or balance much at all?

Dancing strikes for example still has the whole right side of the tree entirely useless like it was a year ago - we provided feedback for it a plenty too (Rhythm buff being 2 seconds is unplayable and makes that whole section moot)

I mean if I look at sentinel smite, lunge trees or spellblade shatter strike am i just gonna see the exact same things too?

[gentle thorn]

yes, a lot of things would deserve a balance pass

[pine dome]

We have not been blessed with the patch notes yet, and the balance changes that go with it

[dusty furnace]

Thanks 👍🏻

[blazing bone]

Just wondering, after 1.0, will we be able to play in offline mode during patch / maintenance down times of servers?

[pine chasm]

Yes

[stray dirge]

@Devs @frail sentinel Would it be possible to post downtime/maintenence in timestamp formatting for Discord? You can post a timestamp in the format
´´´<t:{timestamp}>´´´
E.g. ´´´<t:1707901200>´´´

Which for the user shows up as the formatted date and time depending on their timezone.

So as an example the maintenence today from would be:
´´´t:1707919200 to t:1707926400´´´
or <t:1707919200> to <t:1707926400>

So for someone in GMT +1 it shows 15:00 to 17:00, for someone in CST it shows 08:00 - 10:00

[blazing bone]

I actually was looking for down time notifications, where would that be found?

[stray dirge]

I just realised you meant for the game. In #news

[limpid parrot]

iam just here to take a look if the EU server is still in maintenence...

[blazing bone]

Yes, that is what I was looing for, thank you.

[random quartz]

#news

[limpid parrot]

wow nice news... but there IS no information for when the maintenence is don for the EU server

[stray dirge]

#news

[frail sentinel]

The post went out on Discord, Twitter and in the Steam Discussions page. Downtime should end in roughly 20 minutes 😊

[winged helm]

For the future, maybe a notification box at the login screen wouldn't hurt

[stray dirge]

This is very bad planning, my wife and newborn twins are both out of the house until tomorrow evening, you're stealing my precious gaming time :I

[limpid parrot]

look like it would

[exotic gazelle]

Yup, it's planned, didn't make it into codelock in time unfortunately.

[exotic gazelle]

I'll let backend know

[cerulean nymph]

Backend will be sad now

[stray dirge]

I'll donate a red bull to whomever presses the power on button!

[weak sierra]

As someone who has spent the last 2 working days trying and failing to migrate a few projects to a monorepo ... is your game code in one or multiple repos?

[exotic gazelle]

yes

Sorry, was a bit of a joke. We don't want to go too in depth on what our internal structures look like for security.

[toxic valve]

is a good joke

[weak sierra]

And when you say Kubernetes secrets ... would these be available publicly somewhere .. ? :))) JK

[weak sierra]

Fair enough

[limpid parrot]

question. If i upgrade a silver-ring to unique, there is chance to get a unique from all other kinds of rings, right?

[flat basin]

yes

[stray dirge]

Yes

[limpid parrot]

same happend to me with ivory ring.... i tried it a lot of times...

i upraded like 20 ivory rings and just get ruby, gold or silver

[autumn canyon]

Is the game's vision to have every unique be (somewhat) useful/balanced, or is it planned to have some trashy uniques to dillute the pool, like in PoE?

[placid plinth]

Using a Rune of Ascendance with this in game description of the item?

Using this on a Silver Ring could turn it into any unique ring, including ones that are not Silver Rings. However it cannot turn it into a Helmet.
None of the other properties of the base item are retained.
Press [F] to open the Crafting Panel.```

[latent ledge]

i havent seen it answered in #1161416976321744896 but can you later migrate sfc to normal?

[placid plinth]

There is a bug preventing it at initial launch but we will have it fixed shortly. This is literally what I'm working on right now.

[tall geyser]

Once 1.0 is here, will the forums start to be used for announcements for planned server downtime and similiar?

[limpid parrot]

so it is a bug? i mean... i didn use silver rings, i used ivory rings and get everthing else

[placid plinth]

No, it's not a bug. It explains how it works. You can get any unique ring from any base ring.

[limpid parrot]

Changes the item into a unique or set item of the same item type.

[placid plinth]

yes, ring -> ring

[indigo nebula]

Item type being "ring" not "ivory ring"

[limpid parrot]

Using this on a Silver Ring could turn it into any unique ring, including ones that are not Silver Rings then.. THIS makes no sense

[flat basin]

Seems pretty clear to me at least

[indigo nebula]

You're just thinking too specific on what defines an item type

[placid plinth]

Silver Ring can become any ring.
Ivory Ring can become any ring.
Ruby Ring can become any Ring.
Sapphire Ring can become any Ring.
Copper Ring can become any Ring.
and so on.

[limpid parrot]

nope

[placid plinth]

yes

[stray dirge]

What are any rings?

[chilly scarab]

this just non respect item base, just item TYPE ... very clear

[sage crescent]

A ring is a ring, subtypes have no impact on the rune of ascendence

[muted remnant]

this isnt hard to understand 🙂

[flat basin]

🍿

[latent ledge]

there is types for everything ring type, amulet type, so doesnt matter what kind of ring u have it can become another ring. Silver ring to idk diamond ring if i understood it correctly

[limpid parrot]

would be more understandable if ther would be a tiny: FOR EXAMPLE

[cerulean nymph]

There is an example already I the description

[sage crescent]

It is blatantly explicit on how it works, I don't see how it could be any clearer

[placid plinth]

For example: Using this on a Silver Ring could turn it into any unique ring, including ones that are not Silver Rings. However it cannot turn it into a Helmet.

[glacial swallow]

8am to 10am

[gentle thorn]

Hey Mike, could you expand on that answer?
Like, what would happen in that case :
You throw 5 explosive traps (total : 5), then another 5 (total : 10), then the first 5 will explode and create 5 more (total : 10), then you throw another 5 (total : 15)
How does it work with the trap cap? Do they all explode bypassing the arming time? Do they get replaced without triggering? Do you go over the trap limit, be it with the procced traps or thrown traps? Etc

[muted remnant]

it is very understandable and there is an example

[limpid parrot]

much better

[idle arch]

Why can't I play an offline game while the servers are offline? :^)

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if you noticed but I literally copy/pasted the item description.

[limpid parrot]

because of nobody cares... i guess

[muted remnant]

i think the guy is trolling

[placid plinth]

Because we don't have true offline yet. That will come with 1.0

[idle arch]

god bless mike

[stray dirge]

Okay but if a ring can't turn into a helmet, what about the other way around Mike

[placid plinth]

I think that's enough beating of this dead issue

[jagged magnet]

So the 24 hours offline time before 1.0 will also be unavailable for offline play?

[limpid parrot]

so tell me... WHERE is: "for example"

[placid plinth]

yes

I added for example to the item description.

but the rest was just the item description

[indigo nebula]

Its on the in game item description/tooltip.

[sage crescent]

Dude you already got your answer. Why are you harassing the devs at this point? You aren't adding anything useful to the discussion

[placid plinth]

Please avoid the crosstalk on this

[limpid parrot]

yeah, but how should i know that this is an exaple and not the diffent between silver rings and all other?

[flat basin]

Mike can you think of an example to share on the pains of supporting offline play as well as what I'd assume is a largely server authoritative online mode?

[placid plinth]

I get that you were confused by the item. If you think that the description should be changed, please leave some #1123697853882187847

[limpid parrot]

i understand that pretty clear as: all items turn into the same item type, BUT by silver rings is a huge different

[somber marten]

I think you have a reading problem....

[placid plinth]

what?

[muted remnant]

can we move on?

[gentle thorn]

Let's change the topic, to something, hum, like, explosive traps
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[muted remnant]

such a funny convo

[placid plinth]

All items that go in the helmet slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the helmet slot.

All items that go in the ring slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the ring slot.

All items that go in the amulet slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the amulet slot.

All items that go in the body armor slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the body armor slot.

All items that go in the belt slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the belt slot.

All items that go in the boot slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the boot slot.

All items that go in the glove slot, when you use a rune of ascendance on it, can turn into any unique item that goes into the glove slot.

[ripe yarrow]

We need more clarification

[placid plinth]

ok

[muted remnant]

lolz

[stray dirge]

Any thoughts on avoiding power-creep in new patches/leagues. A lot of AARPG's (Diablo, Poe) all pretty much rely on having each season have higher numbers than the previous. Is that also the plan with LE?

[placid plinth]

cyborg calling me out on purposefully avoiding weapons

[tall geyser]

I really dont think people should be ridiculing others misunderstandings in this chat, thats just toxicity. This is for getting clarity from devs

[muted remnant]

at last another question 🙂

[limpid parrot]

yeah funny... that is how people react to a normal conversation...

[proper sundial]

To throw in a wrench, there are also uniques that cannot be created via Rune of Ascendance.

[placid plinth]

they are frustrated because it is so clear to them that they suspect that you might being intentionally misconstruing the situation to waste my time

[coral shale]

Colorblind mode when? 😄

[somber trench]

Will there be options to change the opacity of player attack effects on release as an accessibility feature?

[gentle thorn]

This would (almost) be fun if it didnt prevent Mike from answering actual gameplay questions...

[placid plinth]

hopefully sooner than later but we haven't started on it yet

[flat basin]

some people just want to watch the world burn 😄

[placid plinth]

hopefully sooner than later but we haven't started on it yet

[limpid parrot]

if u think i waste your time, just shut off this window and do something else

[ripe yarrow]

oh uh

[placid plinth]

that's not what I said, I was explaining why they were reacting like that

[crude fossil]

"When using a rune of ascendance on an item, it can create any globally dropped unique item of the same type while ignoring sub-type"?

[tall geyser]

They're literally just riping into them for not understanding something, when they're first language is seemingly not english. Maybe dont justify people making a joke out of that? Jesus

[limpid parrot]

that sounds rly good

[indigo nebula]

Some of the masteries are viewed as underpowered in the community, and one blame I have seen stated on these is that the mastery itself is older and needs a refresh compared to newly released ones; do you agree with this sort of justification and should we expect to see refreshes to some of the original masteries with 1.0 or soon after?

[stray dirge]

Okay, can you create a Singularity idol with a rune of ascendance though?

[placid plinth]

idols can't be used in the forge

[crude plover]

holy shit the literal only loophole

[placid plinth]

well, and the other unique idols

[stray dirge]

Wait you can lol Mike. I thought I had magically found a loophole here.

[crude plover]

the two other unique idols are boss drops 😛

[muted remnant]

I asked chatgpt to help: A special magic stone called a "rune of ascendance" can make an ordinary thing special. If you have a silver ring and use the magic stone on it, the ring might become a different special ring, like one with special powers. But, it can't turn the ring into something completely different, like a helmet. The ring keeps its shape but becomes something new and cool.

[crude plover]

singularity is the only world drop unique that you cant roa, (if you don't count quest uniques)

[stray dirge]

I can't add a RoA to the forge though

[placid plinth]

Shaman is the worst offender and we have been very vocal about our upcoming changes to it. Forge Guard is probably the community's second biggest pain point for a mastery. We aren't making major changes to that one at 1.0. We will continue to update unsatisfying masteries, skills, items, or anything else.

[flat basin]

<- out of the loop. shaman is getting significant changes in 1.0?

[limpid parrot]

i asked chatgpt if its normal to be rude to customers: yes it is totaly find to be rude to customers if the customers name is karen

[indigo nebula]

ty, time to dig through resources to see some of that info

[placid plinth]

Tempest Strike is moving into Shaman and getting a complete top to bottom change, only thing that's the same is the name and it's still a melee attack.
New base skill which is designed to work well with shaman is replacing Ice Thorns.

[gentle thorn]

Mike, did you not answer to #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
because it was buried in the ascendance non-sense, or because you dont want to disclose the trap mechanics?
Just to know so I dont bother you with a similar topic in the next week

[placid plinth]

totally missed it

[split crystal]

So if I'm counting right that leaves the base class with one fewer skill overall?

[placid plinth]

yes

but shaman with the same overall

[gentle thorn]

Thanks, no rush in answering it, but it's been a big question in the traps theorycrafting

[muted remnant]

is the new shaman coming in 1.0? sorry if u have confirmed this before

[pine dome]

Yes

[placid plinth]

Each trap is technically thrown 1 at a time. Each time a trap is in the process of being created, it checks to see if you are over your trap limit. If creating that trap would put you over your trap limit, it explodes the oldest pre-existing trap.

[placid plinth]

ok, I'm sorry but can you look up like 7 posts before yours?

[rough nexus]

Speaking of Shaman, you had a comment back in August last year about Shaman self-cast not being a priority. Is this the case as we approach 1.0 and beyond? Considering Shaman still has EQ, Tornado and Avalanche - its the most self-cast mastery of the Primalist.

[gentle thorn]

Ok, so technically, you can entirely bypass the arming time by spawning traps fast enough, right?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

yes

[stray dirge]

How are damage numbers calculated (if at all). If I hover over my Hail of Arrows, it says 6353 Damage per Second. Is that based on a range of my bow (e.g. 200-300 damage) or the flat damage timed my attack speed timed modifiers.

[placid plinth]

It attempts to take all of your current stats and effects into account and figure out how much dps you'll do if you just use that ability repeatedly.

[blazing bone]

Will we be able to import our saved loot Filters into 1.0 from 0.9 ?

[fossil dune]

Mike you may need to explain that weapon DPS doesn't exist here

[placid plinth]

You won't need to, it just happens.

[opaque falcon]

I just started playing the shaman. And I love my totems. Also a new player. I hope with 1.0, as you said in your response. We do not "need" to combine the self casts with totems to make it shine. My "rotation" is storm totem, thorn totems, spriggan form, healing totems twice, then wait to place storm totem again. On big creatures. Otherwise just storm totem.
I
like having one super spell for clearing trash. Hope we get to see a buff to storm totem, or a way to 100% convert its damage to cold or fire.

[stray dirge]

Is there a damage calculation or is it a flat damage for the ability. I see different numbers when I attack mobs, but my bow says "Range 60 to 60" (in terms of bow damage) so where does the variance derive from?

[blazing bone]

So, they will be carried over then?

[placid plinth]

All damage has a variance that is applied

Also, weapons are the same as all other items. The "weapon damage" is just flat added damage that could be on any item. We just generally only put it on weapons.

The reason it's showing a range there is that most affixes have a roll range, that one does not.

[stray dirge]

I also asked this Mike if you have time 🙂 And thank you for answering so much!

[hybrid fern]

Do Net Traps and the elusive "Acid Trap" work similar to Explosive Trap regarding arming time, maximum capacity, and triggering? And do the nodes in explosive trap regarding those values have any effect on Net/Acid trap?

[faint juniper]

What maintenance was this? My game still has blurry words and the same connection problem "You lost connection to the game server" LoL

[placid plinth]

try and avoid it as much as possible but accept that it is an inevitability and slow it down wherever possible

[placid plinth]

Yes, if they have a max capacity.
Nodes that affect explosive trap only affect explosive trap. Nodes which affect traps, affect all traps.

[somber marten]

Server sided manti, no cilent changes was done.

[forest narwhal]

Hello, wanna know why i take passive "Last Wish" in skill named "Sigils Of Hope" and it doesn't trigerred because i dont place this skill on panel, it's a bug or chip?

[placid plinth]

Sigils can't exist unless it is on your bar.

[unborn trail]

Hello, sorry if this has been answered before, couldn't find anything with search. Any chance that bosses getting pushed/sliding around will be removed in the future? It messes up dodging mechanics and imo feels weird.

[somber marten]

The alt text should tell you "It must be on the hotbar to proc"

[crude plover]

yes it's a bug, they're working on it.

[unborn trail]

Awesome, thanks. The dragon with minion builds is pretty funny though

[forest narwhal]

lol

[placid plinth]

tip using the search, you can use the terms "in:" or "from:" to narrow to specific channels or people. This channel or from me are good things to use to get answers.

[forest narwhal]

ty a lot

[crude plover]

I think the verbage is what makes it make sense, it doesn't say "sigils of hope have a chance to be cast whenever you kill an enemy" instead it implies that you're the one casting the skill, which you cannot do if you don't have them on the bar. an example of different verbage would be Unlimited power in static which implies that it's the node overload that casts lightning blast and not you, hence you don't need to have lightning blast on your bar.

[chilly scarab]

Will the "delay" in portals between maps have any improvements at launch?

[stray dirge]

Good luck! I really hope you succeed at, at least slowing it down. Numbers don't always need to add an additioan zero at the end every season. I really dislike the current meta of AARPG games where billions is just standard when it comes to numbers.

[placid plinth]

Like opening a portal to "go home"?

[chilly scarab]

no, I say in the transition between the city exit portals

[placid plinth]

Oh, scene transition times are being worked on, I don't have any specifics on what will change or not at 1.0 with that. Experiences will vary.

[lime roost]

Can I somehow see the damage of minions in the skill description?

[placid plinth]

no

[mortal forum]

Mike, I think yesterday Kain confirmed how in game global chat works, that it's basically a series of chat rooms. Would it then be possible to create chat channels similar to how PoE does it? Is it something you guys are looking at implementing?

[chilly scarab]

oh yes, I understand

[lime roost]

would you like to add this?

[placid plinth]

I think so? and maybe?

[placid plinth]

yes, it's not coming at 1.0

[stray dirge]

[proven axle]

So I have been playing beta for a long time now and the entire time, elevation (stairs/ramps) stops things like shield rush and flame rush. Is this intended or is there a plan to change this?

Also, is there a plan to show crit values and other values for specific skills? Or maybe I just have never figured out how.

[flat basin]

Figuring out how much crit exactly I have for a specific skill is one of the most tedious things in the game atm 😅

[cyan crag]

[limber drift]

Regarding the new Gathering Storm skill, do Storm Bolts replace the lightning bolts from the Crackling Assult (lightning strikes in werebear rampage) node? Skill looks amazing and so excited to try it out

[sweet pier]

Could anyone tell me how will the "true offline" mode will work with services like Geforce NOW?

[placid plinth]

yes

[limber drift]

!!!! holy shit. Thanks Mike

[wet token]

Can the falcon throw shurikens, asking for a friend..

[mortal forum]

similar for stuff like Lightning Bolts from Maelstrom tree?

[placid plinth]

in true offline mode the game will behave like any other offline game like say Rogue Legacy (just the first game in my steam list that is an offline game)

[cerulean nymph]

it is specified in the news rake

[late cedar]

What was the reason for locking the ranged Gathering Storm node, Lagonian Diplomacy, to Staves only? I would have loved to use sceptres or wands with it too. (or some other thing with spell damage, or being able to get enough from the werebear node)

[sweet pier]

That means that the save state is not backed up to the cloud right?

[placid plinth]

Staves are the thematic Primalist caster weapon.

[placid plinth]

If steam does cloud saves that's up to steam, not us.

[sweet pier]

I see, thank you for the answer, I'll just try on release date and if it doesn't work will play online 😄

[placid plinth]

I just don't have a geforce now and we don't support it as a platform really. If you try any other offline game with it, that's how it will work for saves.

Our offline mode means that the game client itself doesn't go to the internet for stuff.

[sweet pier]

Do you save offline game states now? If not then steam does

offline characters

[placid plinth]

The game saves offline saves to your computer. It couldn't save them anywhere else without going to the internet.

[sweet pier]

I mean in current patch

[placid plinth]

Yes, currently it saves offline saves offline.

that sentence looks weird

[sweet pier]

Yea I understand, guess that means steam cloud save works for Geforce now

[placid plinth]

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[sweet pier]

Steam backs that save folder to the cloud it seems, if i create an offline character on a pc and switch to a different PC it shows up

[candid raptor]

So, first and foremost I've gotta say that I love the fact you guys implemented an in-game loot filter editor. Brilliant move. That said, there are some things I wish I could do with it that I can't, and I'm wondering if there's plans to add things like And / Or logic with condition groups. It would also be nice to have the ability to only display the shards that are relevant to the class that I'm playing, so I know that if I see one on the ground I should always go out of my way to go get it. It could still pick up all the others around it, but it would be nice to know that at a glance.

If you would like, I can make a post in the Suggestions channel as well, I was just curious if something like this was already in the works.

[placid plinth]

There are some intentional gaps in the loot filter that we don't plan to fill. We do have some improvements coming in 1.0 but you'll need to wait until they are revealed.

[chilly scarab]

@placid plinth any plan for a bigger mouse cursor?

[novel dew]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3ecb623df49355f3be53ea73ed024764a164cc12.jpeg
Still new, so sorry if this is obvious, but does the new Whirlwind Tactics activate when Companion Skills are triggered off e.g. Primal Resonance?

[placid plinth]

The default cursor does not have any changes planned. It is impossible to give in game options to change the cursor on the fly at this time.

[candid raptor]

Do you guys have a bug bounty program by chance? I'm a senior pentester by day, and would love to poke around at things a bit if there were a way to do so without violating the ToS / EULA.

[novel dew]

(Usually I see it saying "You Directly Use" when it excludes triggers)

[cerulean nymph]

"when you use" works the same as "you directly use"

[chilly scarab]

ooh 😦

[placid plinth]

no

[novel dew]

Oh ok. Thanks!

[placid plinth]

nope, just #1123698102470189118

[placid plinth]

I make a point to avoid giving a firm answer to any "is it bannable" type questions unless I'm 100% certain. You'll have to check with support to get a more clear answer. I don't see anything wrong with that myself.

I don't like to say anything is set in stone really. I don't want to get your hopes up by saying you can expect it to change either. If we can find a way to change that which doesn't cause other problems I expect that could be something we would explore.

All I can really say for certain is that this is how it is at 1.0 and I don't know of a way to change it properly.

[lime roost]

search in stash "poison resistance" dont work correctly, does not search for the full phrase, only gives poison

so if theres gonna be a surplus of possible players with 1.0 are servers prepared for this for launch ? hoping no delays 🙂 hyped and excited for release

We will be doing our best

[sage oracle]

That’s what I figured, thanks.

[clever quiver]

Why are there so many 'artillery' styled enemies that launch attacks from offscreen?
it feels like ~40% of all enemies are this type why not have more melee/archer guys

[candid raptor]

will v0.9 loot filters work post-1.0?

[placid plinth]

yes but you'll want to go over them as we have made loot filter updates

[placid plinth]

This is what is called confirmation bias. Nowhere near 40% of enemies are artillery style at all. It is possible that there is a disproportionate amount but I'm sorry I disagree with the premise. If you'd like to, we have a #1123697853882187847 thread.

[twin wasp]

Mike does the storm bolts that proc with gathering storm also scale with your melee dmg? I see gathering storm scales but can’t see about storm bolt

[hoary frigate]

"Gathering Storm costs zero mana by default, and inherently gains 4% increased damage per point of strength to the Melee Attack, while each point of Attunement grants it +1 spell damage for Storm Bolt." citation from the new blog

spell dmg

I doubt a spell can scale with melee damage

[placid plinth]

gilavar is right

[mortal forum]

Unsure if this is in your purview Mike, but will you be providing the Tempest Strike and Gathering Storm details to Dammitt for including on LETools? Or will he have to wait for 21st?

[twin wasp]

Thanks Gilavar

[placid plinth]

Dammitt is able to put anything that is public knowledge up on his site. As he is a member of the CT program, I'm sure he has already got the Gathering Storm stuff ready but is just waiting until he is able to post it. Since we didn't spoil all the details I don't think he can post it yet.

I don't really know all the details around this though.

[mortal forum]

Alright, thanks

[jaunty dune]

is it possible to join or apply to join the CT program?

[placid plinth]

Not right now, it's closed until post 1.0 (and some unknown time after that probably too)

At the start of 1.0 will all characters be wiped to give everyone a fresh start?

#1161416976321744896

[burnt solar]

The way it's worded, something is up. Because when I read it, I think that 500% ignite chance would mean 5000% more witchfire damage. Put a pin that one for now because that's insane.

well, it was actually doing 2% and 6% regardless of points allocated. I've just switched it to 1% and 3% per point up to 5% and 15% total.

These are both from Mike on the 25th, just wanted to clarify, is it now working the way mike original read it but with reduced values? so 500% ignite chance gives 2500% more witchfire damage? Or does it work with the alternate interpretation where the more damage is per 100% chance to ignite/damn so 500% ignite chance gives 25% more damage?

[covert rain]

hello, how the devs doing today? yeah thats my question

[low peak]

I saw on reddit that there's a Character Data API, is that (and other) API publicly available?

[pine dome]

Sorry Mike you skipped this one
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[pine dome]

👀 sorry

Didn't see Maelstrom mentioned specifically so I just didn't connect

[cerulean nymph]

wrong cropping 😆

[vague holly]

Is the trade faction available if you go the solo character mode? I suppose not?

[cerulean nymph]

it is available, you wont get anything from it though

[vague wind]

Hello LE devs! I heard alot good about your game and wants to try it out. However, I hear some negative things about combat feel, animations, combat feeling "floaty" and such. Is this something you actively will take a look at, and improve alot?

[vague holly]

Its trading with players and not with npc's and therefor it will not do anything right?

[viral adder]

reddit response to a similar question from the game director: https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1aeomzb/will_10_have_meatier_combat/kk9oidk/

[vague wind]

Yes, thanks Spark, I have read abit about that on reddit, however, I don't think it answers everything only in melee, maybe? or is it all abilities and general combat? 🙂

basically, get closer to how combat feels in something like D4, is what I am curious about is something achieveable for this team

And the other part is the sound design, which I read alot of people wish were buffed up too to have more "umph"

everything else about the game, looks and sounds super cool and good 🙂

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, are you allowed to say what skills are before and after the chain in the Shaman passive tree?

[dense fiber]

Its the weakest aspect of the game rn but they are looking to make improvements. Some are already coming with 1.0

[placid plinth]

I made a mistake earlier, Tempest Strike didn't go into Shaman.
Only Avalanche is locked
oh and storm totem as the mastery skill

[placid plinth]

It's still in preview mode but we are working on one.

[placid plinth]

pretty good, less than a week to go now

[hoary frigate]

Mike please tell me what do you think about a situation with trading faction where a player wants to buy an item and another player wants that same item. so they both press Buy but only the one with faster reaction (internet latency, 3rd party trade tools etc) wins? I mean is it possible that some top players with bot searching trade offers will buy out all juicy items on the market in nanosecond?

[crude plover]

Do you think we'll be getting a livestream this friday? 😛

[placid plinth]

Well, considering there is no trade API, the only bot that could do this would be against the TOS.

[placid plinth]

yes

[valid crystal]

where should i go for a quest bug? can't progress

[placid plinth]

if you want help getting around it: #❔┃ask-the-community

if you want to report the bug: #1123698102470189118

[valid crystal]

i did the first, and reported ingame

[quiet vigil]

I have a difficult time using runemaster to see which combinations I'm pressing, whenever things get hectic It's hard for me to see the runes over my character's head. And the runes on the UI next to the health globe is the main way I can keep track, but it's a bit too small for me to see. So often times I'm looking at the bottom left corner of my UI than the actual gameplay which can be tedious ( i know, skill issue right?) But perhaps there are players out there who might feel the same way.

Suggestion: I was wondering if it's possible to resize that UI or at least the Rune combinations to make it bigger or to readjust the position of where the rune combinations are located.

[somber marten]

Great #1123698164503949392!

[placid plinth]

We have no UI customization at all yet

[lime roost]

game have character limit?

[placid plinth]

Yes, it's getting a slight bump at 1.0 with plans for more to follow.

[lime roost]

what limit?

how many i can create ?

[placid plinth]

I think it's 20 right now

[lime roost]

ty

[lone ice]

Is Decoys Explosion "Your hit"

[minor plover]

Is it 20 counting all characters be they season or non-season ?

[placid plinth]

no woops, yes it does

[lone ice]

SAD ok

[placid plinth]

well yes but you don't have cycle characters right now, 20 is what you have now.

and offline is a different limit

[minor plover]

Well even after 1.0 hits, all in all season + non-season, the limit will still be 20 right ? Season + non-season chars max ?

[placid plinth]

No, sorry I thought you had read the post right before yours on the topic. It's getting an increase for 1.0. I'm not sure if we've said how much though. Once 1.0 comes out, the limit is for all online characters.

[hallow scarab]

Any changes in the radar for Vengeance and/or spear based melee sentinel in general?

[past niche]

I've noticed over the last two days that the longer I play the game continuosly, the more likely it is to create bugs. Just now I was unable to run a monolith, as the map didnt load properly and the mobs didnt appear / didnt move. I was able to move just fine though. And that is just today.

[lone ice]

you just made my day thank you 🙂

[burnt solar]

seems like maybe this question was missed?

[placid plinth]

It's not giving thousands of % more damage

[burnt solar]

got it, that's what I thought but just wanted to make sure as I'm planning.

[hybrid fern]

I may be wrong, but I read it as "10% of your ignite chance". As in, if you have 500% chance to ignite on hit, it would be 50% more witchfire damage. Whereas 500% chance to damned on hit would be 150% more witchfire damage.

Which is still very very good.

[outer sail]

im thinking of grabbing the game at launch will there be more content updates after the game hits 1.0?

[pine dome]

Yes, every 3-4 months. Like PoE or Diablo.

[snow island]

Are you gonna add sound alarms to the drops of purple items if we choose it in our loot filter?

[lime roost]

will there be rewards in the season?

ive reported the bug several times since before 0.9.2 released

4 years later and

i am kinda happy about this though

[mild rivet]

what's your question?

[muted remnant]

are servers down?

[frosty lagoon]

#news message

Maybe this

[muted remnant]

trhey went down earlier for maintenance, i think this is just loads of people playing

[junior kindle]

Restart your client at least once. If the server selection and login screen comes up immediately then the problem is a networking one between your equipment, your ISP, and the route being taken to LE servers. I live in a remote mountain community with some funky routing so this almost always comes up for me on 1st launch. Hope that helps.

[muted remnant]

thanks its all sorted now

[smoky niche]

server are running like crap, what happened after the downtime?

[vital bison]

Is there any planned fixed for the longer loading times compared to offline play?

[cursive sparrow]

i think this answers the question

p.s. has nothing to do with LE

[sleek nova]

Has there been an update of sorts today? I was just playing fine about 20 minutes ago, but when I went to change characters, I got hit with something that says Steam is required now, but I have been playing on steam the whole time.

[stone coyote]

If I start my character as trade faction but then decide to switch to non-trade, can I still use the crafting materials(shards, glyphs, and runes) I obtained while playing in trade? Also, can an exalted item acquired in the trade league be used for LP on a non-trade LP unique?

[pine chasm]

Yes, gold and crafting materials don't have faction tags.
For the second part, kinda? Not all items you acquire will have the faction requirement tag. You can combine any two items as long as they don't have opposite faction requirement tags. The result will have the stricter requirement of the two items used to combine.
(And just to note, all items you find in non-trade are untradeable, so any legendary you craft using one will also be untradeable)

[night knot]

Say are there any plans to have our characters show up in a menu after pressing "C"? Thought it'll be a good way to show cosmetics

Also another way for players to inspect each other and see various cosmetics too

any plans on being able to make quests progress together in a party? it's a bit annoying that whenever I complete a quest, it only gives me credit, but if my friend is also in the party, it doesn't progress their quest.

I think it's a great mechanic when you have more room for abilities on your bar.

[placid plinth]

The lightning trap has fire res shred converted to lightning res shred.
The cold trap has fire res shred converted to cold res shred.
The fire trap has no res shred conversions.

[fallen shoal]

Awesome, that is what I was hoping, thank you for confirming Mike!

[silk dune]

would you please consider making the existing standard items unequipable if you have a faction in standard? i think this will make everyone happy, the old characters are still viable as long as they don't join a faction and the new standard players will have a chance to catch on with the help of factions.

[somber marten]

FYI they're already making them untradable

[silk dune]

yeah but things have changed like crazy. would be nice to find a way for standard to be viable for new players at release. also splitting it in 3 as legacy, standard and cycle would be an ideea xD

[placid plinth]

People entering Legacy for the first time will always be behind the veterans. If you want to start level with people but don't feel like playing cycles long term, my advice is to start as a cycle character at 1.0 and then when 1.1 comes, just go into legacy with that existing character.

[silk dune]

that's my plan 100% i just hope there will be a way for me to catch up eventually to the godly items that were dropped before the 1.0 patch, thank you so much for replying!

[fallen shoal]

Do Umbral Blades dropped by Aerial Assault apply 2 shadow daggers if I spec into shadow daggers in both the Aerial Assault and Umbral Blade trees?

[placid plinth]

I'm not going to double check and I never answer shadow daggers questions with absolutes without checking.
So, they should.

[fallen shoal]

Haha well that makes me feel like it is worth testing at least, thanks 🙂

[placid plinth]

they apply like any other ailment so they really should

That makes sense, thanks again 😄

shadow daggers

Btw is there offline/online legacy. I am currently playing offline mode.

And also will play 1.0 online, but if 1.1 come both will the same and share stash?

[placid plinth]

do you know how d2 or poe work?

[cunning slate]

No

This is my first

[placid plinth]

that's fine, it's just the same as those so I was going to try and take an easy way out

[sweet crystal]

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand, if it's not giving x% more damage per ignite/damned chance, what is it doing?

Is it what dronus said (here #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message), more damage equal to x% of your ignite/damned chance (so like, at 5 points, assuming it's still nerfed to 1% per point for ignite, it'd be 5% of 500% ignite chance = 25% more damage with Witchfire)?

Or is it doing something else?

[placid plinth]

you can play:
online cycle
offline cycle
online legacy
offline legacy
when a cycle ends and a new one begins, everything that was in the cycle gets merged into its respective legacy and the new cycle characters all start from scratch.

[cunning slate]

Thank

[silk dune]

I love the fact that some of the items take literally years to farm in LE, one of the main problem with D4 was that only a part of the player base actually wanted to start from scratch in season 1, the rest just wanted to keep farming but the endgame/goal wasn't there, so most players stopped (including me and my friends). I hope that LE will always keep an eye on Legacy for those players that are used to how D2 and D3 were back in the day. People are willing to farm the endgame forever as long as it's rewarding, BDO is the best example, exponentially more difficult to level up/get upgrades, but it's prestigious when you actually do get it because it took forever!

Hey Devs, are you planning to make mouse cursor size changable? Sometimes when there are to many enemies I struggle to find where my mouse cursor is.

After reading the upcoming changes to primalist, i have a question if Whirlwind Tactics will work with Summon Wolfs specialization nodes "Victory Howl" and "Snarl" where the wolves has a chance on kill to use Howl. Will this passive procc Whirlwind Tactics as well or is it only when you actively press the companion ability?

Unfortunately, it seems unity is restricting them from changing this, you can use 3rd party software that might help.

I have heard good things about "yolo mouse"

Can items be traded multiple times?

[feral surge]

No. Once an item is traded (not gifted! Gifting is different) once, it gains the MG tag and becomes untradable.

Yes. Once an item has been traded once, either at the bazaar or directly, it can not be traded again.

Is the game going to have seasonal based content ? Much like Poe ?

The first few cycles will have permanent additions to the game that will come to legacy and cycle at the same time

[proud heath]

Ok so at some point seasons will be added ? Just with 1.0 release it will be legacy characters

[cerulean nymph]

uh cycles are seasons

[feral surge]

Seasons are coming with 1.0, they just won't have a "season only" mechanic for now. Instead, they'll just come together with big content patches that are added to both the season and standard / legacy.

What do you mean by "rework" and what do you mean by "eventually"? Because that's an immensely vague question imo

[pine goblet]

are there any plans or ideas to also implement MSAA 2x/4x/8x as antialiasing options?

or possibly scaling options?

[wraith briar]

Is there a small problem with some things in echos? cant seem to load them on Eu West, and Exiled mages are invisible and even some bosses are invisible

[flint bloom]

first thing would be to verify files. can also try using a different server (but that doesnt sound like a server issue) *also doesnt need to be spammed in multiple channels

[distant sierra]

hi i've been hearing people say you can use legendary items as leveling gear coz it doesnt have a level requirement. Mine still has one.

[flint bloom]

uniques never loose their level req. but they also dont go higher either with affixes attached via legendary crafting. you can still make some good leveling unqiues that have requirements

[somber marten]

Items that start with no requirement end with no requirement.

[distant sierra]

oh ok. I was under the assumption that legendary crafting removes the level req

[wraith briar]

Okej, tnx looking in to it, and two are not many, and not a spam. I put it first there before i thought it would be better here maby

[fleet galleon]

They used to get lvl requirement based on the exalted item
so you could have legendary that had no lvl requirement originally
but now went to lvl 70+

but they removed that lvl requirement stuff

[quaint spindle]

Please do not ping me, and I'm not the person for business proposals - any DMS i get like that i usually ignore since they're often scams

[median aspen]

Hey thanks for the clarification. Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you please direct me to the responsible people? It'd be much appreciated. Thanks again.

[near goblet]

If you are serious send them an email.

[median aspen]

We will, since I couldn't find any emails for business inquiries on the website, I wanted to reach out here first.

[near goblet]

Just write their standard contact email, and i'm sure it will get redirected internally.

[cyan crag]

is there any achievement / rewards to be looking forward when playing cycle or nah?

[past niche]

Will there be a season like in path of exile upon release?

[cyan crag]

season = cycle

[past niche]

do you have an in depth explanation somewhere?

[cyan crag]

i'm also looking for information 😄 No confirm details yet on whats the distinction on playing a cycle(season) server vs non-cycle server.

[somber marten]

Nothing.
Just a economy reset and leaderboard reset.

[tall geyser]

Has any thought been put into allowing offline players to choose cycle they play, and/or extend current cycles they're playing? Seeing how they could just avoid updating, if you didn't care about online at all, you have that choice. But it could also lead to like, copying the files for old cycles and storing them, so you can boot up the game for x cycle, however that would get very annoying, so this seems like something that could be neat to be implemented?

[cyan crag]

this confirmed by dev already? all i can see here says this as well but not coming from dev.

[rough garden]

Mike has said it in here several times

[cyan crag]

so theres no point playing in cycles then aside from the leaderboards

[candid cosmos]

i don’t have a screenshot since i’m on mobile and my screenshots are on my pc but mike (a dev) has said what amounts to “we might one day have cycle exclusive content but at least for now content will be in both cycle and legacy from the beginning of each cycle”

[cyan crag]

good to know.

i wish there were an option for like, "Adaptive Overlay Map Opacity", where you would still get a slider, but it would be more / less opaque depending what zone you're in... i find myself constantly adjusting it, higher in brighter maps, and lower in darker ones like Autumnal Highlands, otherwise I can't see a thing going on around me

[ripe torrent]

Will there be an option for the chat to completely disappear/not pop up on the screen at all?

[granite sluice]

Are legacy servers getting an economy reset on 1.0? (gold/crafting mats) -- I've seen information both ways and I'm trying to answer questions in stream chat accurately since the question comes up a lot on what happens at 1.0

[flint bloom]

well...legacy doesnt have a trade economy yet cuz trade doesnt exist until 1.0. all your stuff stays (gold/mats, etc) so you will have things to buy with, but you and everyone else still need to farm the MG rep to buy and sell stuff.

[fleet galleon]

Didn't they also state that stuff you got prior to 1.0 will not be tradeable?

[feral surge]

Correct.

[fleet galleon]

or am I remembering it wrong

[feral surge]

There is gold in the economy, but no sellable items yet.

[candid raptor]

it needs to drop with the merchant's guild flag on it

[placid plinth]

no items drop with MG tag

[feral surge]

no, it just needs to drop after 1.0

It gets the MG tag once it has been traded, and can then not be traded again.

[placid plinth]

👍

[granite sluice]

See I've heard that legacy IS getting gold/mats wiped and that legacy isn't, I was hoping to get a dev to answer lol

I keep hearing it both ways

[candid raptor]

ahhhh, okay, i must have misread that explanation then. my bad.

[placid plinth]

the FAQ is pretty clear on the matter, no wipe

[feral surge]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362

[granite sluice]

Okay, thanks.

[keen pine]

This work with bow version or you need to directly throw trap?

[placid plinth]

yes - in this case, "directly throw" means, "press the hotkey that you have explosive flask applied to"

[keen pine]

Thanks seems op

[placid plinth]

does give it a cooldown though

[keen pine]

If i throw 10 traps at a same time
does it count as 10 freezes or 1?

(so like 100% remaining cooldown recovered at a single use)

[placid plinth]

well, you can only have 7? traps at once so 3 of them would trigger at your feet instantly. you have to actually freeze an enemy and you can't freeze what is already frozen. also it's remaining cooldown, so if 10 freezes happen in a single frame the cooldown starts at 100% when the 1st freeze goes off, then the cooldown goes to 90%, second freeze, 81%, 3rd 72.9%, 65.61%, 59.049%, 53.1441% and so on. It doesn't remove 10% of the total cooldown each time.

[keen pine]

10?

[shadow swift]

Will current drop rates be decreased with the introduction of the factions in 1.0?

[placid plinth]

sure, the rest of it still breaks that plan completely though

[placid plinth]

yes (it says that in both devblogs about it)

[keen pine]

So what gonna happen when i use freezing trap with that and have 10 traps?

how much cooldown would i have

(solo target)

[low peak]

Will we see the new unique items before 1.0 goes live? It would be cool for theorycrafting, but I understand if you want to keep them as a surprise

[feral surge]

27 seconds minus 10%, so 24.3 seconds.

[placid plinth]

10.8s

where is 27s coming from?

[feral surge]

The base cooldown should be 12 from No Mans plus 15 from Freezing Trap

both of those add a cooldown

[violet furnace]

I am excited about the work of the last epoch, I encourage you to make an mmorpg@placid plinth

[keen pine]

it takes highest

so 15 base cooldown

[feral surge]

ah, my bad

[placid plinth]

some, we'll see how much are in the patchnotes or hype week posts

[keen pine]

What about group of monsters mike?

like 10 monsters

[gentle thorn]

What's Falcon Strikes damage effectiveness?

[placid plinth]

see the math from before

[placid plinth]

well, we've got a decade of content to make for this one and after that I'm not sure I want to do another multiplayer game lol

[violet furnace]

other other and more xD

[cerulean nymph]

only a decade 😔

[fair mist]

I return yet again to bug the devs about forge guard!

before @placid plinth you mentioned that the forged minions gain stats from my weapon that would reasonably show up in my character sheet, so would %damage over time work for them, or does it still need to be minion damage over time on the weapon?

[placid plinth]

either work. because the ability grabs the non-minion stat and because it's a minion, it gets the minion stat, neither double dip

[fair mist]

amazing, thank you so much

[placid plinth]

ugh, unity just crashed while starting up, do you have the base damage already? I can probably tell you from that

it's a 1:20 ratio by default

[violet furnace]

your son will continue

🫨

[gentle thorn]

this is all I know
I was wondering if each attack would get some kind of bonus damage

or maybe malus because each attack is an aoe?

[placid plinth]

as an ability that deals damage, it has base damage and added damage effectiveness stats

[feral surge]

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

[placid plinth]

that's base melee, not falcon strikes

[feral surge]

ah, derp

[gentle thorn]

then I dont know the base damage nor the added damage effectiveness from Falcon Strikes
and that would be the question, when you get the chance to reboot Unity

[placid plinth]

yea, it's booting

[gentle thorn]

no rush at all 😉

[low peak]

FYI this is the tooltip from Zizaran's video

[cerulean nymph]

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

i think i got it

[placid plinth]

yup

@gentle thorn 40 base damage, 2 added damage effectiveness

[gentle thorn]

hum, usually it's in %

[placid plinth]

200%

[cerulean nymph]

by the way this and the last comment is the first time ever i see damage effectiveness written as 2 instead of 200%

[placid plinth]

it's not a percentage in our dev UI

[gentle thorn]

and to complete on dive bomb, i think it's 500% added damage effectiveness
but what's the base damage already?

[cerulean nymph]

im going to guess 100

[placid plinth]

it got buffed a bit....

I don't want to say because it feels like it's too high

[keen pine]

Flurry gonna be fixed ?

[gentle thorn]

and if i may ask another tooltip, what is the base speed of explosive trap?
many skills are 1.467, but it's listed at 2.2 per second on lastepochtools, is that right?

[hybrid fern]

So there are several places in passive trees and falconer skills that references the falcon having both "throwing damage" and "melee damage". Which skills are falcon "throwing" abilities? Are any of the base skills (dive bomb, aerial assault, falcon strikes) considered "throwing" attacks and only scale off of the falcon's "throwing damage" or is it pretty much a few of the subskills (feather knives, featherfall, featherstorm)?

[placid plinth]

open steam on a linux machine, download game

[placid plinth]

I'm not 100% sure on featherfall but I think you've got that all right

[hybrid fern]

Okay, that makes more sense. As I was typing it, it was kind of clicking a bit.

If that's true, it's a good style to name throwing abilities with "feather" in them. Good work, devs.

[placid plinth]

use duration is 1.35 with a 1.8 speed multiplier

[keen pine]

is there a DoT cap?
(and if i have 800 frostbite damage each stack of frostbite will count as 800dps?)

[placid plinth]

no, even thought I don't understand the example

each ailment has its own max stack count, some (like frostbite) don't have a cap

[candid raptor]

does the "item rarity" bonus on a monolith timeline affect more than just the item rarity? does it directly correlate with how many affix tiers are on them as well?

[drowsy thicket]

Some ailments have caps. Frostbite doesn't. But each new stack does not refresh total duration. Each stack has a separate duration, essentially capping stacks.

[minor plover]

Will there be a new gold grinding mechanic introduced ? Other than sell items + end of echo reward ?

[keen pine]

my base damage of frostbite is 800
so if enemy would have 100 stacks of frosbite my damage would be 80000/sec right?

[placid plinth]

ya

[drowsy thicket]

I think so

[keen pine]

How much hp lvl 100 monolith boses have ?

[hybrid fern]

Is the "Wing Burst" attack that the Falcon does after using Aerial Assault a "Throwing" attack or a "Melee" attack?

[short hazel]

will there be new skins/packs in shop on release date?

[golden lion]

Will the armor sets show up in the cosmetic inventory after we find/unlock them?

[gentle thorn]

I dont really understand the answer
Does this mean explo traps have 1.35 attacks per second, and throwing attack speed is multiplied by 1.8, then the result multiplies the base 1.35?

[somber marten]

There's no transmog system

[crude plover]

When will you let us plant our spriggan friend?

[placid plinth]

no

[chilly scarab]

The game have a "transmog" system, or will you have in the future?

[crude plover]

Doesn't have one, they want to add one eventually.

[placid plinth]

some new cosmetics are hitting the shop at launch

[short hazel]

ty

[placid plinth]

there is a way to do that. I've never done any gaming on linux and I've never installed steam on linux so I don't really have any more details. You can #❔┃ask-the-community or contact support for more help.

Is the release gonna change anything for the technical requirements? I hope not, very glad I can run it on my laptop

[placid plinth]

a lot and varries wildly, I don't have each of them on hand

1.0 has linux updates

[placid plinth]

we are updating our technical requirements. Currently they do not reflect realistic min specs to actually have fun with the game. However, performance is actually getting better with the update so if you can actually play it now, you'll still be ok.

[spiral flare]

Sweet. I do experience some fps drops when using the rogues mobility spell, but it overall works well enough, for sure

[spiral flare]

Thanks for the quick reply, I appreciate it 🙂

[split crystal]

Any reason you're calling it pre-patch blog posts and not hype week anymore?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry I don't have wing burst as a skill name, it must have got a display name update

[short hazel]

for the best experience as new player who just installed the game should i wait for release or just play a bit and test classes?

[placid plinth]

maybe it's not going to be a full 7 days of posts?

if notes are on the 19th, the 20th doesn't really have much to post

[wooden blade]

do more skills have a secret attack speed modifier or only explosive trap? and is there a way to look them up as it is not stated on le tools and is quite important if you want to optimze your build

[hybrid fern]

It's the built-in attack that the Falcon does after Aerial Assault is used, but thanks anyway. I can just wait patiently.

[crude plover]

it should be a subskill of aerial asssault in case that helps

[placid plinth]

they all have that, I don't know if anyone shows it

[placid plinth]

throwing

(internally it's called feather burst)

I think it was just too many featherX names

[split crystal]

Fair, I suppose. I liked hype week better. It was more, well...hype.

[placid plinth]

just for you

[crude plover]

I'm so hyped now

[gentle thorn]

Miiiiiiike, I dont know if you can answer that, but was the node "Sky Signal", in Explosive Trap, nerfed since the reveal, and if yes, in which way?

[placid plinth]

I don't know

[austere flower]

Ok so need to know about the supporter packs you can buy with real money. I can only buy 1 or 2 before launch so if I can only get 2 for now will the other supporter packs be available after launch?

I just re-double checked to make sure sure and yes that FAQ entry is right.

[austere flower]

So I have plenty of time after launch to buy the current ones

[placid plinth]

yea

[austere flower]

Thank you. Can't wait for your game to be released.

[keen pine]

How much base damage explosive trap has and added effect?

[dull cipher]

is there any further improvements to chat moderation coming for 1.0? it's really annoying to have messages that are genuinely helping other players out with questions being blocked by code of conduct, !badbot doesn't seem to be learning

[cerulean nymph]

out of curiosity, where are us central servers located? looking at other people ms they seem to be waaaay to the east

[placid plinth]

30 and 1.5

[keen pine]

1.5 is 150% right?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't know on that one. I know it's frustrating. As far as I know it's an ongoing thing and more of a gradual thing than a big change at 1.0.

[placid plinth]

87% sure it's in texas

[frail sentinel]

When this happens please make sure to report it to our team via the in game bug reporting tool or to our Support Team so we can look into the cause and do our best to address it!

[keen pine]

can you pls check my math
If i have 106 base cold damage with bow attack and 1400% inc cold damage
106 x 14 = 1484
1484 x 1.5 effect of added damage from trap = 2226 damage per trap?

[cerulean nymph]

106*15, not 14

[astral reef]

do we get sneak peak to last 3 acts before launch?

[placid plinth]

no, they haven't been made

[astral reef]

oh didnt expect that answer but thanks 😄

[placid plinth]

1400% increased cold damage is applied by doing the math damage * (1 + 14)

[dull cipher]

ok thanks 🙂

[slate timber]

how are economy going to be determined once 1.0 comes ? since golds are pretty "easy" to attain and our runes and glyphs are in our pouches

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question

are you asking what the main currency will be?

[slate timber]

something along that line ya

[placid plinth]

gold is the only way to pay for an item you purchase in MG

[slate timber]

gotcha, my worries are just fluctuations of gold and the economy will be hard to be determined if using gold since gold can be farmed sustainably and ammassed quick

[placid plinth]

we have a natural release valve with the vaults of uncertain fate

[late sinew]

Are u planning to upgrade Necro minions like u did with primalist?)

[placid plinth]

Everything is always on the list. Primalist Companions were high enough to get included this patch.

[late sinew]

I have one more question about armor in the game. Will you add new beautiful armor or will it be like in Diablo 4 where all the beautiful armor with beautiful effects will be in the store and nothing will be added to the base game?

[dull cipher]

will do thanks 🙂 , i have been using !badbot normally but will do that from now on

[worldly grail]

will the items we find unlock transmogs so we can apply their look to other gear?

[placid plinth]

did you see the #news post today showing off the new beautiful armor for 1.0?

[crude plover]

nope not as of right now

[primal vector]

Hello, I have a question about passives being multiplicative between each other or not
The new "Tailwind" passive from the Falconer passive tree grants less damage taken while moving, the "Evasion" passive node from rogue also grants less damage taken while moving.
On the second one it specified that it's multiplicative with other modifiers, but these modifiers have the same wording so, I am guessing they are additive, is that correct ?
Thank you

[placid plinth]

multiplicative

[primal vector]

Oh ok, it got me confused, thank you for the clarification

[empty merlin]

Hi Mike, a question about those armour sets (they are rlly cool indeed) will we be able to mix and match diferet pieces or will the be a set where u either use it all or none at all ( like in torchlight fe)?

[placid plinth]

most of it is one piece in the body armor, those are just individual gear pieces worn together normally

[empty merlin]

Oh those are not skins? Ok now they got even cooler!

[tawny kite]

I'd also like to ask if there is a chance to get a arachnophobia mode added. I honestly don't care what would be the replacement.. black square, maybe a png of a cat or anything would suffice (kinda like Satisfactory handles it).. Heck, even "this is a spider" as a textbox would be OK for me

[placid plinth]

we don't have one in 1.0. It's not off the table though. #1123698164503949392

[vivid crest]

Does 1.0 includes any class reworks ? I played rogue for the last few days and especially marksman does not really feels like its ready for release.

[fossil dune]

Would be appreciated for sure. While the spiders in LE bother me less than other games, it sometimes gets to me.

[fossil dune]

Bladedancer has really good defense, Falconer even more so, just off the passive tree alone. Go to #🔪┃rogue and ask, I promise you someone will hand you methods to have like 50k+ EHP.

[vivid crest]

Thanks for the advice. But that was not my question 🙂

[pine dome]

Does that mean new bases and new implicits?

[fossil dune]

I woke up like 30 minutes ago and misread that's my bad

[cursive sparrow]

If u say that mm isnt ready due to bugs on flurry/da those are fixed, not sure why else it wouldnt be ready, also all classes do get some improvements n 1.0

[plucky crane]

Is there something wonky going on with the news webpage? It just straight up consumes 100% of my CPU and 1gb of ram (firefox)?

I think rework is a little heavy of a term for most of the other class changes but all got something somewhere. You'll have to wait for more details.

I'm not noticing anything but maybe?

have you guys ever went back and played old builds just to see how far you've come? it's really insane just how far this game has come since the first public release, i still remember my first char being a sentinel whos whirlwind was just like a flat 2d looking purple circle that rotated around my character

the progress over the years has been amazing

[placid plinth]

yea, someone made a "through the ages" style video recently that was a cool look back

[floral radish]

aw i think i saw it

if i can find the link i'll send it to him

[midnight pier]

Hi Mike. I'm listening to your podcast with DM and Ghazzy regarding the topic of improving visual clarity in party play. In FF14 you're able to disable your party members spell effects. Is that a direction you'd consider in the future?

[placid plinth]

being as completely non-committal as possible, it's something we could consider.

[floral radish]

I mean the thing is that for now it's promoted in LFG wich makes place to spam of discord and now we can't post link in there soo now that the nearly early rush and we don't have a place to share the discord . Thanks for your understanding

[midnight pier]

Cool, that's all i was looking for. I know you can't commit but IF you hated that idea, then I wanted to hear why you hated it and what an alternative might be. Thanks Mike 🙂

[placid plinth]

No I really like the idea.

[jolly island]

Do we have a reason to play Season at 1.0 or not at all?

[lusty pine]

Leaderboards

And also a Fresh, clean start.

[waxen fossil]

Also, fun.

[jolly island]

this is no beneficial reason
at least for people like me which started 2 weeks ago

[lusty pine]

And that is fine, nothing wrong with going Legacy. I wouldn't plan on having a viable economy in Legacy as most people will be on Cycle.

[jolly island]

🫡

[lusty pine]

For a bit Cycles and Legacy will have the same content. Later on they will not: Cycles will get new shiny content that Legacy will not, IDK if any of that will filter back to Legacy once the cycle ends ala PoE style, but for now content wise 0 difference.

Other than no leaderboard and probably a stale market.

[waxen fossil]

Assuming you devs will be playing with us on launch, have any of you devs decided what classes and masteres you're going to level first in the season? :3

[plucky crane]

Do falcon damage nodes in Falconry apply to all falcon skills? E.g. does Is it a bird? apply more damage bonus to dive bomb?

[dawn cliff]

Can we get some info about the Flame Whip skill attached to scorched reach/infernal lash passives in the warlock tree? It says that "while you have ignite overload and... hit an ignited boss or rare enemy, you cast flame whip at a nearby enemy"

Is flame whip itself capable of igniting? What's the cooldown on the skill, or is there none? What's the scaling on it? Etc. Sorry if this info exists elsewhere, lots of googling turned up nothing.

[proven trench]

@exotic gazelle can you contact me on dm? I can't send you a message.

[plucky crane]

Do cooldowns have increased and more as well? Or only 1 modifier?
Getting a bit confused between:
Cooldown Duration: +54% and Increased cooldown recovery rate: 20%

[remote rapids]

exactly, but i dont understand what word =\ it is only my nick name hahah , i will contact the support

[dawn cliff]

probably because it contains "h o e" in it, which like, cmon it's 2024 I thought we were past these terrible word filters that don't look at context

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, are the new armor sets tied to new bases? Meaning we get new implicits?

[exotic gazelle]

It doesn't have any context to look at, as there's no legible words, it can only look at letters.

[placid plinth]

yes, if it says "your falcon deals more damage..." then it's like your falcon has an item with that stat on it

[placid plinth]

I think some of them are new and some of them are replacements for recolours

[final cave]

How much sleep you think you'll get night before launch Mike? 🙂

[placid plinth]

Question about the node "Go For The Eyes!", in Falconry:
It says that the Falcon gets 75% of our highest Added Crit Chance.
If I have 40% crit on the sheet, with 500% increased Critical Chance
Is the falcon getting :

1. 500% x 0.75 = 375% increased Critical Chance (which is then added to its own increased crit chance, and then multiplied by its base crit chance)
2. 40% x 0.75 = 30% crit chance, added to its total crit chance, after everything
3. something else?

[pine dome]

Love the ambiguous answer ^^
Edit: I wrote that before reading Grandpappy Grole

[pine chasm]

3. Basically 2, but it should then be modified by the falcon's crit modifiers, and also it's a tiny hat: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid plinth]

your falcon gets a tiny hat with the affix:
Property: Critical Strike Chance
Type: Added
Value: [Creator's Critical Strike Chance (in highest category)] x 0.75

[gentle thorn]

Uh, i'm not sure I understand
Let's say Falcon has 10% base crit, then 100% increased critical chance from gear
How much crit chance would he have in my example?

[placid plinth]

80%

[gentle thorn]

right, so it adds 75% of our crit to its base crit

the node isnt saying "base crit", while on the passive "Handler", it says "base crit", which was the confusion

[placid plinth]

it's technically added crit

[gentle thorn]

but it gets multiplied by the falcon increased critical chance, so it's like base crit, no?

[placid plinth]

yes

Is there any plan to let offline choose what cycle they're playing on, and/or extend a cycle? Could do it by not updating the game (or storing the game files somewhere else for prosperity etc...) but would be neat to have it as an option for people who want to play online and offline.

[placid plinth]

no plans for that

a small question if u die on HC and become a ghost can u still compete on SC ladder? iirc ghost cant be on ladder, right?

[maiden sierra]

All cycle content will go to Legacy after the respective cycle ends. As for the market, anyone who plays Legacy doesn't need it... Just go with CoF.

[cold sonnet]

Sorry if this the wrong spot, I had a couple of questions over Chaos Bolt's skill tree: For Torment of the Red Tundra, why does this node grant more physical DoT? Is the idea to use it with Sanguine Reverie for more bleed damage?

[glass thorn]

Hey I see a lot of cool new armors coming in, are we ever going to be able to have an MTX that swaps two armor pieces ingame? The only problem I have with them all is that on a lot of builds, using the whole set probably isn't the most effiecient thing ever, meaning that if you want to play efficiently you end up losing on style.

[indigo ice]

Does Fissure created from Smite also convert to Void damage when you change Smite to Void?

[waxen fossil]

If you're talking about a transmog like system to change armour visuals, I did a search in the channel here earlier and it's something they want to work on. I'll see if I can find the exact message for you.

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

Here we go, that's Mikes most recent comment on a transmog d3 like system.

[pine spoke]

Still waiting answer 🙂

Or it is ok to talk about offline modding related things in general chat?

[green blade]

Any word on a player guild system? Maybe with a shared stash? I like to leave presents and have a little trove with my pals

Can you abandon quests? Have a quest thats bugged and doesn't complete

[crude plover]

try to verify your files, you cannot abandon quests right now.

[tranquil quiver]

maybe slighty off topic but will the last epoch pc from starforge system be always available or is it limited

will the vines from Eterra's Path activate a stack of Frozen Vengeance for Apogee of Frozen Light when they die/expire?

Greetings, fellow gamers! As a devoted developer delving into the realms of Lua, A++, C++, Java, and more, I find myself immersed in the art of crafting compelling gaming experiences. One aspect of my expertise lies in creating intricate stat trackers for games. Now, I can't help but ponder: could this game potentially boast a website stat checker and ladder in the future? Picture it—a hub where players can showcase their prowess, comparing strengths, agility, and more. Let's discuss the exciting possibilities!

[crude plover]

Is the question if the game will have leaderboards for various stats in the future?

[sand burrow]

Yes, but for defense stats and different ones and on the websites. Do you remember when WoW kinda did that, and I think D2 did it also, where players can link their accounts and see others' stats, armor, etc.?

[crude plover]

That already exists, for example here's one of my characters ^^

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Cyborgwars/character/Lightningslapper

[sand burrow]

The laddy is based only on waves correct?

[crude plover]

yes correct, the ladder is only for arena waves currently, but they do want to expand leaderboards in the future.

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

[sand burrow]

Awsome thanks for taking the time 😉

[jagged zenith]

is there still not update and changes to controller support? If not when if at all will we hear something?

if a skill has -flat mana cost in its tree and +% mana cost, which one happens first?

[pine chasm]

+/- is done first, then multipliers

[placid plinth]

sorry everyone, had a busy day

[placid plinth]

I doubt they will have it available long term. I think it's a one off time that they will have this available.

thanks for holding down the fort while I was away

[gentle thorn]

Out of curiosity, is "Increased Damage for skills used by Shadows" working on Shadow Falcons doing Dive Bomb?

[gentle thorn]

ye, but we are using Dive Bomb, it's not a skill the Shadow Falcons are using

Or maybe it is, idk

that's the question

[pine chasm]

Yeah, that's why there's that special line in that Dive Bomb node

The (shadow) falcon is the one dive bombing

[gentle thorn]

If there's one thing I learned in Last Epoch, it's not to trust tooltips 🤐

I agree it would make sense, was just checking for a simple "yes" from Mike

It's like this node
If a Shadow Falcon lands, takes off, and lands again in a Smoke Bomb, will it take off and land a 3rd time?

Would it require a shadow to target the new dive bomb?
Would it still work if it's a new shadow, and not the one it initially targeted, if that one expired?

[stray fable]

Favourite coffee type when enjoying some ARPG?

[hybrid fern]

Does Profane Veil->Profane Orbs use 6 mana per orb fired, or is it just a steady 6mana/s drain? For example, if I have Profane Veil->Forked Tongue is that effectively going to double the mana cost? If it does cost mana per orb, do -mana cost modifiers impact it?

[placid plinth]

it's not going to hop on a pogo stick, 1 bounce is enough

[placid plinth]

I don't drink coffee

[hybrid fern]

would be funny to see a falcon on a pogo stick though

[placid plinth]

Each second while you are in Profane Veil, you cast a Profane Orb for 6 mana. This effect of casting a profane orb every second ends up costing 6 mana per second.

If you have a 2nd veil active, that veil also triggers this effect costing you 12 mana each second by casting 2 orbs each second.

[hybrid fern]

Does the Hex Flurry node also increase this cost?

(That is the node adjacent to Profane Orbs that increases the frequency)

[placid plinth]

every orb that is created costs 6 mana

anything that makes more orbs, costs more mana

[hybrid fern]

Okay. And does -mana cost from a wand/staff reduce this?

[placid plinth]

no

[hybrid fern]

Thanks!

This has probably been asked before, but is there a party inspect feature likely to come in the future?

[placid plinth]

possible but not specifically planned

[random pebble]

~~Is shadow daggers getting nerfed ? ~~

Will we have more informations in the patchnotes (or do we already know and I missed it ?) about how much it takes to "level" a faction ?

Same question with how much "faction xp" you get from playing the game compared to engaging with this faction activity ?

[placid plinth]

you only get reputation with a faction by engaging with that faction's mechanics.

We have been adjusting the rough time to rank x a bunch and I think details will be in patch notes.

[random pebble]

Thanks a lot

I'm glad you guys see that Forge Guard is the second to change. I really love the theme of it, but it definitely feels older. I wonder what minor changes are coming though.

[placid plinth]

Not what I said either.

[craggy cedar]

Mike I don't need a name specifically. But is there any Unique that's coming for 1.0 that you're like "Heh wait until they see this one". I know design team does a good job overall, but is there any that you personally are excited for people to see/try out?

[snow island]

Are you gonna add sound alarms to the drops of purple items if we choose it in our loot filter?

@placid plinth

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

[snow island]

ah

[placid plinth]

Yes, but half of the reason I'm excited about it is because of how it came to be and I'm not sure people will even notice the nods to its origin.

[craggy cedar]

Ok now I'm excited and I beg you when we get all the info don't tell us which unique and see if we can figure it out. I will remind you in let's say 3 dev streams from now.

Are there movement improvements coming in 1.0 ? Will i still be able to push big bosses around by running into them? Or moonwalk by keeping the mouse cursor close to my character?

[gentle thorn]

Oh, Mike, yet another interaction check 😉
Are "Dive Bomb's hits cause..." nodes also working with its subkill Featherfall? (like Rending Impact)

Thanks!

[placid plinth]

the pushing bug is fixed

[placid plinth]

no

[gentle thorn]

and can all 8 feathers from Featherfall hit the same target, if there is only one?

[placid plinth]

check the wording? I can't remember, I think it says it throws 1 per target up to a cap?

[placid plinth]

yup

[gentle thorn]

i guess it could be 1 feather per target

thanks for clearing that up

[final cave]

Bees, hornets or wasps?

[placid plinth]

bees

As it should bee

[lost cairn]

I wanted to make sure my understanding of snapshotting is correct with Profane Veil's Scorn node. Lets assume for all cases there is a Chthonic Fissure shooting spirits to apply Torment.

1. An enemy gets hit by a spirit and is Tormented, you then enter Profane Veil. The damage from Torment does not get boosted by Scorn because its damage is snapshotted from before you entered Profane Veil.
2. You enter Profane Veil and then an enemy gets hit by a spirit. The Scorn does apply to the Torment damage because it was applied while you were in Profane Veil.
3. You enter Profane Veil, an enemy gets hit by a spirit, and then you immediately leave Profane Veil. The damage from Scorn does apply to the Torment because it was applied while you were in Profane Veil and the damage is snapshotted so it continues to apply, even when you are no longer in Profane Veil.

Hey, Sorry if this has already been ask but i wanted to know, right now if u create a HC character and die it become a standar character. wanted to know how does this interact in Cycle ? if my HC character die in the cycle does it become a Cycle softcore character or just removed from the Cycle and become a "regular" character ?

will i lose all my stuff on the 21st

oh mb didn't seed that channel

[placid plinth]

has nothing to do with cycles one way or another. It just changes HC/SC

[reef pasture]

I may have explained myself poorly, sorry

I would like to know if my HC cycle character dies, does he become a SC Cycle character or is he "expelled" from the cycle like other games whose name I won't mention :p

[tight hemlock]

99% sure it becomes a sc cycle character, can’t remember what interview that’s from though

[reef pasture]

Oh nice ! if its the case i'm happy.

[vital bison]

Any plan to auto give waypoints for town zones? such a pain when you realize you didn't run close enough and now the nearest zone is 2-3 instances away lol

Hi all curious to know...since selling can only happen through the Merchants Guild, is it the same for trading items to another player?

I've read through the trade and item factions developer blog, just wanted more detail on the exchange of goods, thanks!

[somber marten]

Yes, you only gain the ability to trade (With the guild or player to player) via joining merchant's guild.
They both have the same costs and mechanics.

[gentle hatch]

Thanks, so if an item has already been traded once, it cannot be traded again?

[somber marten]

Correct.

[random pebble]

Should be correct yes, I would assume « gifting » the item doesn’t count as trading it tho (require the recipient to be in the zone when you loot in the first place)

[pine dome]

Correct
Gifting =/= Trading

[upbeat fiber]

is there any plan on changing echoes so you cant just farm gold/idol shrines/caches/prisons at the start of them, and reenter every 10 seconds?
i know this got removed from arena echoes pretty quick but its still doable and arguably easier on some layouts and might make trade feel bad if its the optimal way to get gold

[gentle hatch]

thanks for the info one more question, if youre partied with someone and they gift you the item, that can be traded too on their behalf if their in the same faction?

[somber marten]

In theory yes.

[placid plinth]

Technically there is a round about scenario that doesn't require them to be the same faction for that to work.

[trim marsh]

I do not know if this is the proper channel, but the spacing of the #⏱┃speedrunning Channel compared to the one above and below is upsetting

[placid plinth]

What?

They are sandwiched right in there for me.

[placid plinth]

Yea

[trim marsh]

The spacing...

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry you'll have to be more specific. The distance between fanart and speed looks the same as speed and memes and all the other channels to me

[cursive sparrow]

i have a question, dont think it was answered earlier, but if u die on HC and become a SC ghost will u be able to compete on SC ladder on 1.0?

[placid plinth]

I don't know

[trim marsh]

THAT

[cursive sparrow]

thats difference between PC discord and mobile

[placid plinth]

Oh, no, I see that on mobile, had no idea that's what you meant.

[pine spoke]

I think it's because emoji (Clock) at The beginning of channel name is just smaller in speedrunning channel

[trim marsh]

Its the same for PC / mobile for me. its just heavily off centered compared to the other 2

[placid plinth]

Yea, that emoji is just small.

[trim marsh]

Well.. why not try adding a "Space" inbetween the clock and the I

[pine spoke]

Discord just doesn't work like that

[trim marsh]

Ow yea.. i keep forgetting about that one..

[pine spoke]

Bigger clock emoji or similar would be a solution

[placid plinth]

sorry, I don't have permissions to edit those things any more

[glass marten]

Hey, is there a source on how gold from echo chests work? The only positive correlation I noticed is higher corruption --> more gold from chests, but otherwise it seems completely random. Sometimes I get less than 1k and sometimes I get 60k+ abd I have no idea why

[placid plinth]

We got to a point where there were so many people with access that it didn't make sense. So they closed it down to the people whose job it is to run our social platforms. This was when the discord got a reorganization and face lift.

[placid plinth]

There are many fixes for many skills. I'm not sure what one issue you might be referring to. Please wait until the patch notes to find out if individual bugs will be fixed.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if kills affects gold drops from it or not but it does scale everything else.

[toxic flax]

Hello, Tell me please, how can I get 5 blessings instead of 4 after killing the boss in a monolith?

[somber marten]

200 corruption

[final cave]

Unlock empowered monoliths, play them and increase your corruption to 200

[royal raven]

does health regen work for aura of decay? or does only healing effectiveness work?

[glass marten]

By everything else you mean corruption and rarity? The thing is playing 2 echos back to back could yield vastly different amounts of gold from the chest. I tried full clearing and I didn't really see a meaningful enough difference. I guess it's mostly RNG then

[plucky crane]

When talking about things that recover cooldown, e.g. "recover 20% remaining cooldown", is there a minimum value that it recovers and I'm assuming rounding happens on this, any details on how "deep" the accuracy goes?

[hexed cypress]

No, if it has .01 second left it recovers .002 of it. Interested in the application of Planck time for CDR

[plucky crane]

Falcon Strikes related question, again remaining CDR: Side by Side node reduces remaining cdr of falcon strikes if you directly use a skill and hit an enemy. How would this interact with channeling version of flurry? Only the first hit after starting the channel reduces the CDR? (assuming I hit)
