[verbal birch]

I just realized that some skill trees that enable procs, also let the procs benefit from other nodes on the tree. But only certain skills actually say that they do, while some others do not (but still benefit). im guessing in time it will be made clear when procced skills are supposed to benefit or not?

[rocky echo]

Will we see new class added to the game this year? Will Acolyte and Rogue get nerfed or other classes buffed?

[ocean jungle]

Are the current corruption levels being reached intentional? Do you have any expectations to how you might adjust that?

Any love planned for Forge Guard in 1.0? Xoxo have a great day

[granite dust]

Any chance to make a skip story line for alts.

Yall devs know a way to appease RNGeesus to drop items I can actually use?? 😩

[limpid summit]

The spellblade passive Volka's Razor says melee attacks that cost at least 10 mana and the spells they trigger from their trees deal more damage. How exactly does this work when multiple things can trigger fire aura? If my 11 mana flame weave triggers a fire aura cast what happens when fire aura gets triggered from some other source that didn't cost at least 10 mana? Does the increased damage from Volka's Razor get overwritten?

[flint bloom]

fire aura stacks. so each stack would have its own damage, based on what triggered it.

[pine chasm]

And just to be clear, Fire Aura is always cast from the player no matter where it's procced, so that node never applies to it.
Edit to add: No, there's nothing in game that explains it (yet, at least - would be a great addition to tooltips if its implementation can't just be changed to work like a normal subskill)

[limpid summit]

Oh jeez, really? That's incredibly confusing. Is there anything in game at all that tells this to the player?

[silent apex]

will there ever be a way to pick affixes that go on legendary items?
im not opposed to the RNG its just i have a lot of 1LP items

[reef sable]

Are there any further "within-echo activities" in the works (like the exiled mages and chests)? 🙂

[placid plinth]

They should be worded to indicate you are casting it instead of being a sub skill but they might not all be up to date.

[placid plinth]

Ever is a long time. We have no plans for it.

[placid plinth]

Yes

[sudden eagle]

I have seen multiple reports of a bug in #1210281997591908452 that's impacting me as well, but no acknowledgement of this as an issue by EHG. The specific bug I'm referring to is on my secondary PC, all of the display options just say "Option A", "Option B", "Option C" and I'm not able to change the resolution, quality or anything. Can we please at least get ackowledgement of this issue, and if possible any feedback on a relative severity level from EHG's perspective to know how long we are stuck at our current settings? Thank you!

[placid plinth]

We don't have time to acknowledge every bug. Having said that, I'm quite sure I've talked about that one in here before. In the past it has shown up when the settings file is corrupted and the settings panel doesn't fail to load settings gracefully enough. Usually solved by just deleting the settings file. Otherwise just submitting a bug report or adding information onto a pre-existing one is all that you can do.

File locations can be found on our support site. The loot filter "open folder" button takes you right next door too.

Please note the name of this channel and description both say no bugs here please.

[pine chasm]

Does Circle of Fortune's rank 6 bonus (double LP chance) apply to boss-exclusive drops?

[brittle pendant]

do the damage over time curses have added damage effectiveness? they're tagged with "Spell" so they should benefit from flat added spell damage, correct?

[placid plinth]

Yes

[flint totem]

@placid plinth any plans on physical merch like a guppy plushie

[pine chasm]

Thank you! And also welcome back, hope you had a nice break from this channel! 😄

[tawny briar]

It happens to me that I have extreme lags on some maps. It's not on all maps and not always on the same places etc.
Do you know what it could be? It's really annoying and impossible to play when the lags start. How to avoid it? It's really very random, which is why I think and believe it can't be me just because it doesn't happen on all maps.
I've already tried lowering the graphics to the minimum.

[opaque carbon]

without knowing your PC spec, any attempt at a an answer would be pure guesswork.

[stable pumice]

do you have any plans on a wider "range" of the leaderboard? it would be so interesting to see on empowered monoliths what characters did on which monolith there the highest corruption etc., also it could work out as a huge motivation to go for that range

[placid plinth]

no, for example, bone curse (0.2) gets it but anguish doesn't

[placid plinth]

yes, no details on what that will look like yet

[dull grove]

Is visibility of ground target AoEs something that can be reviewed? As a swarmblade, tornado + maelstrom makes a lot of enemy aoe attacks invisible. Having the aoe circle/line be darker/more opaque would be a big help.

[placid plinth]

Maybe, we look at the #1210281911872786482 channel for things like this.

[opaque carbon]

Sorry to bump but interested to know the intended design here, post got lost in a myriad of other posts 🙂

[hybrid raven]

Any Insights on this wall of text? 😹

[placid plinth]

Rework is a heavy term, can we use update instead? We are trying to get what we can in but some things will take longer. It's going to be an ongoing process to make it really shine I think.

nope

We tend to be very reactive and in the past we've been burned by trying to make a roadmap because we don't want to change it on the fly too much once we've said it but we changed our minds on features and priorities shift. Maybe.

No plans for "adventure mode" at this time. No idea if it will change or not.

Lots, always doing those. I do quite often take issue with the use of this term though. I think it gets crazy overused and most QOL requests are not QOL requests but rather mechanical changes.

Yes.

[manic crown]

Are you planning on doing changes to uniques which is useless or never used?
One example is Boots of Vithrasil, cant move while in spriggan form.

[dry kiln]

When will it be easier to search for stuff at the Bazaar?
If i forexample wanna sell an idol, i have to check side after side of idols to find some with same stats. I can choose affixes but not the numbers on them, wich means the bad ones are mixed with the good ones

[flint hull]

Will there be space for more rules in lootfilters in the future?
Have about 7 more rules I can't fit in to my current lootfilter.

[glossy jolt]

Maybe someone already asked this but is there a posibility to implement the option to hide/instantly de-spawn dead mobs, they quickly clutter the screen and cause terrible FPS drops even on strong machines, they stay on the screen for way too long as well, especially bad in Arena´s where i cant just walk away from it either

[placid plinth]

Well, from our data there are no items which are useless or never used. We do look for opportunities to glow up currently unpopular uniques though.

[placid plinth]

We are looking at 1.1 for some initial changes and will continue to update it over time.

[dry kiln]

thanks 🙂

[limpid summit]

The Glyph of Intention node on the Flame Rush passive tree says that flame rush ends when you reach the glyph. However, you stay in flame rush for a bit after reaching the glyph. Is this a bug or intended? Reason I ask is because there's some alt text on that node that mentions a 1.5 second time.

[placid plinth]

No, it's already pushed past what it should be. We are hoping to add ways to combine common rule functions together to reduce the number of rules needed and actually drop the total available count if possible.

[dense frost]

Is there plans to make leveling process slower, or is the plan to keep the XP gains/requirements as is?

[placid plinth]

There is a bug which causes them to sometimes stay. I don't have any information on the status of it.

[terse island]

Y'all made some excellent monster models. Some of them too excellent. Last Epoch has the most terrifying spiders I've ever seen in any video game. Any chance of an arachnophobia setting?

[placid plinth]

I think that with the way the movement curve happens, you don't quite make it to the actual center of the glyph until the end of the duration.

[jade raft]

Is there any discussion/stance-changing on permitting LP Filtering via Loot filters? Asking since the recent @ember topaz video pretty much has me never wanting to touch COF lol. I do not wish this to be D4 2.0 in terms of rummaging through loot, but COF can get like that when you stack up unique prophs.

[placid plinth]

Changes aren't set yet so I don't know but I think that we will likely extend the last couple levels.

[kindred zealot]

Less of a question and more of feedback - I'd like to pitch that, alongside other changes to make Blessings more of a catalogue, that the system adds in bad-luck-protection to make it more feasible to get the maximum roll of a specific blessing if you're targetting that blessing. Like... making an offer of your equipped blessing always roll at least as good as your equip and not any lower, or something.

[placid plinth]

It's been on the list for a while. One of the dev's mom is very arachnophobic so we have been showing her the borderline monsters to see if they trigger it too. Fun fact scorpions apparently sometimes don't have the same effect. I thought they would.

[inland pulsar]

might've missed something, but do soul embers in the Soulfire Bastion reset on every clear now?

[flint bloom]

as of the last patch (1.0.5), yes. they weren't supposed to persist in the first place

[dense frost]

Is there any plans to create other leaderboards beside Arena? i.e. Highest corruption per Monolith Area (single, 2p,3p,4p) or anyting else?

[flint bloom]

[plucky cradle]

Hi guys, you made awesome game !!!

[languid sorrel]

Will there be more objectives in echoes? The ones we have are nice but there is not much variety

[analog shore]

hey guys, first this game is great. over 300 hrs in since launch! id like to ask for clarification on the boss damage reduction thing. i dont understand how this works, and the reasoning behind it

edit: after a search looks like this was already covered in other questions. sorry about that.

[dense frost]

Is there plans to make stronger Rare enemies (increased health pool) / add enemies that act like mini-bosses that actually require a bit of fighting and boss like fighting style? (Not referring to anything similar to pinnacle bosses)

[plucky cradle]

I have more technical question, is it URP or HDRP ? Forward, forward+ or defered ?

[granite musk]

Is there any plan to switch the passive in cof ranks giving you full sets? since set item arent used (useless), it's such a waste having a useless high rank passive reward

[rapid yacht]

I believe they've said they plan to make sets useful.

[vivid mural]

They have said this but that current rank reward does kinda stink if it is still there next cycle without a change to make sets viable. Currently any end game content that has set reqards feels bad but I get not wanting to remove it to add it back in. I can't wait to see what they end up doing with sets

[placid plinth]

I think the issue is being inflated heavily by other issues and I'd be more interested in looking at the situation after that's fixed.

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

We will continue to expand the stable of minibosses

[vivid mural]

Does increased LP chance stop increasing after corruption 600 and does the higher LP chance also increase chance for higher levels of LP than 1?

[placid plinth]

Please put feedback in #1210281911872786482
Also, the search function using the "in" and "from" keywords on this channel and from me will yield really good results on a lot of topics.
We announced that we were doing this a few months back.

[worthy stump]

How many people have been banned in total. Not wana know anything about why just wondering in total how many has been banned since launch

[inland pulsar]

i see, thanks for the info :)

[placid plinth]

not 100% sure but I think it's still URP deferred.

[plucky cradle]

can i send you friend invite and maybe if you will have time we can talk a bit about that ?

[placid plinth]

that's not all rank 9 gives and set items will be something you are very happy to have that reward for. Having said that, you will see some movement on faction rank rewards.

rank 6 CoF does affect boss drops already
I don't have any information about potential upcoming balance changes. If you'd like, you can leave a #1210282176680169562

[tight plinth]

What else does rank 9 give, if you don’t mind me asking? I am not currently in front of the game but I thought I recall that it only says drops the whole set when you would’ve just gotten one item

[placid plinth]

no, I'm not who you want to talk to about that. If you have a suggestion, please put it in #1210282176680169562 . It's important to note that we don't have a lot of options on this front so if you'd like to suggest a change, it will not be done until we finish this engine upgrade. And that's a big reason we are doing the upgrade anyways.

[placid plinth]

3rd lense slot

[worthy stump]

Will there eventually be a statistic on how many members cof has vs mg? It would be really interesting too se statistics on stuff like that.

Also is there any data on how many play in offline (not true offline) and online

[gaunt saffron]

Is there a plan to add more options to the loot filter like LP lvl? Esp on cof you can get overwhelmed with drops even though nearly all of them are very common.

[plucky cradle]

@quaint spindle its not a suggestion but like a question from small team should we switch to hdrp or stay on urp in next project 🙂

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if we're going to share the stats or not. I know we have them though so maybe. Drop a #1210282176680169562 if you'd like to see them.

I don't think we track the online vs offline playtime that closely so it would be really difficult to tell which someone is playing more.

[placid plinth]

my understanding of it comes down to that if you're starting from scratch, go to hdrp. if you want to reuse a lot of assets, stay on urp.

[placid plinth]

yes, not necessarily that #1210282176680169562 specifically though

[kindred zealot]

Are there plans to adjust the existing timeline/dungeon bosses to address pain points in their fights in 1.1? Things like Heorot's boss fight terrain, or his blizzard radius, come to mind

[placid plinth]

No.
We don't hide things like this. If it did, it would very clearly state it.

Yes, it affects all LP proportionally.

[vivid mural]

Thanks, hard to find hard facts on what happens after corruption 600 and how different levels of LP are affected.

[manic crown]

I could probably find my answer online but do you always try to stream on fridays, at what hours ish is it?

[worthy stump]

we know that lp chanceincreases at 5% at 100 corruption. 10% at 300 and 14% at 600 but how does the curve continue past that. in addition

whats the hardest system or thing to implement / change in the game that seemingly would seem easy to do.

[gaunt saffron]

Would you consider a mid-season update to increase gaze value to help with corruption pushing? many players are getting burned out grinding before they even hit walls on their builds.

[vivid mural]

Further on this and based on your previous replies there are 2 sides arguing if 4 digit corruption was ever supposed to be reached. We have people saying your previous replies imply characters are too strong, while other point out your previous replies imply that we are expected to grind as far as we can and the time it takes to get there is the problem.

[bleak atlas]

Can you please consider when you die in a Dungeon to continue playing on respawn? It feels too hardcore when I chose softcore

[worthy stump]

answer about corruption from the dev stream https://clips.twitch.tv/TalentedPowerfulPeppermintJKanStyle-bDkCsKnd1dH0JAbY

[sudden eagle]

I sincerely apologize for my lack of etiquette. As a penance, I have bought a supporter pack. Thank you for helping me regardless of my poor manners.

[gaunt saffron]

doesn't address the time it takes to push. the game we have now you can do 2k, 3k+ it just takes so long to get there people quit on the way. many of my friends didn't even get over 1k before quitting because the time sink involved even tho they had the gear for it. all they really said was they expected good builds to be X but we have Y. there's no factor increase on the cor pushing to bridge that. not to mention in coop only 1 person gets cor.

[plucky cradle]

Ok Mike. I've sent you a friend request. You talked about HDRP, but according to you, you used URP (like us). We're finishing the first game on Unity and a few months before I think about how we should make the next one on it. I like LE very much, that's why I wanted to talk to someone who knows Unity well (I worked mainly on the EU). If you add me as a friend, I'll send you my portfolio and decide if you can take 5 minutes for me to help with my dilemmas. Best regards!!!

[flint bloom]

3pm CST

[placid plinth]

I think that for the most part, the things that make individual bosses especially challenging are probably actually good things. However, bugs are on the list.

[placid plinth]

I try to do every friday but I skip some if needed.
<t:1712088000:t> for 2 hours. (date is wrong on that timestamp but the time is right)

[manic crown]

Yeah I got it, looked up the time convertion online - Thanks for the replies

[placid plinth]

anything that is even remotely related the multiplayer that you might be thinking isn't that bad

oh, no, it's changing the mouse cursor. 100% that.

[placid plinth]

That's a dangerous game to play because of what then has to happen at 1.1.

If you'd like us to consider making a change to the game, please post it in #1210282176680169562

[shadow swift]

What is EHGs thoughts on defacto mandatory affixes for gear (hybrid health, movement speed on boots etc.). to push higher corruption and dungeon tiers. Does it play into the oppurtunity cost of having one vs the other, along with scaling difficulty?

May not be an exact comparison - but back When I played Smite - they ended up removing boots since it was a mandatory item in every build. Removing boots allowed the slot to be used for something else

[worthy stump]

What was it that caused the dupe to be possible (not asking how it was fixed but what caused it to even happen)

[placid plinth]

We don't want an end game where you are having to spend large times facing content that's too easy for you.

[sudden eagle]

Some of my skills are very visually noisy, and I have gotten complaints from people that I have partied with that my build makes them lag because of it. Will some of the acquire-able visual effects for skills be ones that really tone down or simplify them to make it a lot less of a headache? I actually legitimately ask people when we first party if they have epilepsy because it's that bad.

[placid plinth]

We have considered this many times. If you would like to make your voice heard on it, please post in #1210282176680169562

[gaunt saffron]

if gaze value scaled with corruption it would help with this a lot

[placid plinth]

wasn't that what I just told you to go put in #1210282176680169562 ?

[placid plinth]

I think that some of them might incidentally have this effect but I don't think that's a good way for us to solve the issue really. It would also lock it behind a paywall which is even worse. It's a significant issue at the moment though.

[placid plinth]

I can't really go into details on it. Mostly because I don't know the details really but from what I've read from people who were abusing it, we didn't account for people mucking about with their game clients well enough.

[vivid mural]

I've seen other arpg's allow you to turn off ally visuals which my friend regularly gripes about when partying with me and my screen filling elemental novas. I can almost guarantee there is a request for such features in the suggestion forums.

[worthy stump]

how difficult was it to develop the loot filter

[placid plinth]

medium? it wasn't easy to implement but things flowed nicely design wise

[opaque carbon]

are there plans to improve the dungeon experience in a party ?

[bleak atlas]

I hope so - LFG would be amazing

[opaque carbon]

would be a neat addition, but i mean more in terms of party deaths being poorly implemented, what's the point in grouping if 1 of you dies and cant get back in (currently you can, in some cases, but its buggy af and for eg in SFB you end up above the playable zone minus the fire/necro buff)

[worthy stump]

aproximitely how many lines of code is in the game?

[dense frost]

Do you have video on the earliest stages of the "playable" version of the game (something so scrappy its funny going back and looking at it) and can you show it to the player base (like a video of this is what it was at somepoint and now we are here comparison)?

[vivid mural]

You can see pre alpha gameplay on their original kickstarter

[gaunt saffron]

Is the faction system meant to have similar time investment to gear to the same power?

[real wing]

Will there be power creep per cycle? Like this cycle the avg corruption players can reach is x, then next cycle players can reach 100 more

[final cave]

Thank you 🙂

[hybrid raven]

Thanks Mike!

[placid plinth]

no idea, also kinda arbitrary because you can write the same thing so many different ways, depending on your code conventions, two identical scripts can be wildly different lengths. Just something as simple as if you put the { on the same line as the if (condition) or not can add hundreds of lines to a single script. You can then condense it even more with condition ? true : false; style statements.

It's mega gigantic though.

[verbal birch]

wait, devs consider builds that can farm 1k+ corruption to be OP? interesting perspective.

[placid plinth]

yes but not immediately

[placid plinth]

Assuming you mean CoF vs MG, ideally they would be pretty similar but my favorite guideline for balance is that the guiding factor of which to pick would be stylistic rather than power driven. And this is what we are currently seeing.

[placid plinth]

No. Well not intentionally at least.

[placid plinth]

once you're into 4 digits, it's a significant outlier

[urban matrix]

Will the general leveling process be quicker in Cycle 2? It took me about 100 hours to level to 100, granted I probably could have streamlined that but the thought of another 100 hours for an alt has stopped me leveling another character.

[wind elbow]

Hey Mike. Hope that the dust has settled since launch, and hopefully the team has had opportunity for something of a breather. Are there any upcoming features you and or the team are most excited about implementing?

[sour wyvern]

What are the plans to help create longevity for the game? Or updates for end game content?

[cursive sparrow]

By " what we are currently seeing" do you mean for avarge players? because from what i saw top 1% of mg is way way stronger than top cof players, many people have absolutely absurd items like my lich has 5 3 lp items, and some slammed with double exalteds, and other people probably have it even better. Do i understand right that factions aimed to be balnced around avarage player and not top 0.1%?

[placid plinth]

No, we don't expect characters to hit 100. It's a significant achievement.

[urban silo]

what about 5 digits? i heard someone playing wraithlord is at 9k and pre launch someone went to 10k with volatile zombies.

[placid plinth]

yea, new boss fights

[placid plinth]

We will continue to release regular major content patches for years. These will imrpove and expand all aspects of the game.

[frosty salmon]

Speaking of achievements....should we hold our breaths for Steam/Ingame Achievements or is this not something that is planned?

[ocean lion]

will there be a day we'll have keychain to hold all of these keys?

[verbal birch]

do you guys plan on doing "borrowed power" in cycles like recent poe leagues, or will you try to merge whatever you add per season.

also in regards to tech, i see you're using playfab on the backend. are you guys doing a completely serverless/lambda approach with it, or do you have dedicated servers that just leverage playfab? asking since i managed all playfab/eos/steam integrations for a recent title myself.

[placid plinth]

No. I said my favorite guideline for balance is that the guiding factor of which to pick would be stylistic rather than power driven.

We look at all levels of the systems to make adjustments. We don't have to balance it around 1 time investment slice.

[placid plinth]

It's planned, will be a while still though.

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

Because of our game's relative youth, the content that we add in a cycle is specifically designed to always be core content. Once we have a few cycles under our belt, I think we might start looking at some more experimental systems. It's something that we will very much be adjusting on the fly depending on how the first couple cycles go.

[opaque carbon]

what was the unique core element added to the current cycle that wasnt in the pre release 'legacy'

[placid plinth]

factions, falconer, warlock

[urban matrix]

Will there be no adjustment in leveling to make it quicker? To fully enjoy a character and its potential is only achieved at level 100 and doesn't the game really only start at level 100?

[wind elbow]

I think I remember seeing something about themes coming in around cycle 4 or 5. I know a lot of people are into the leaderboards etc, but for me I enjoy new things and change and worry LE would feel stale after a couple of cycles only focused on balance. Is there any consideration of moving the schedule up (or am I totally wrong on this point, wouldn't be the first time 🤣)

[rapid yacht]

You can do everything around level 80, certainly by 90. the last 10 levels are largely optional.

[placid plinth]

This is a fundamental design difference between Last Epoch/PoE/D2 and D3/4. The game starts for us way before max level. You can easily have a well made lvl 80 character be way stronger than a poorly made lvl 100 character.

We are actually probably going to be extending the last few levels.

[placid plinth]

There are major features coming next patch. As I just got out of a playtest meeting for some of the new content, it will not be stale. We just don't plan on having those first few cycle being "borrowed power" because they are designed as being permanent from the moment they are added.

Also, anything that's floating around about specific cycles after cycle 2 is pure speculation.

[wind elbow]

All good man, no idea where I got that into my head. Not meant as criticism as my worry is entirely self inflicted, having a short attention span and getting each mastery to 50 as a min already. Looking forward to seeing what comes in. Loving the game and the flexibility it allows in character builds. Don't think I've looked at anyone else's yet. For me the game starts at 20, as I start trying abilities and working out some fun synergies. Think I'll be entertained for a while yet at least 😜

[pliant steppe]

Can I ask a question about a skill interaction?

[glad otter]

Is LE a game designed to be enjoyed as a single-player experience with supplementary multiplayer features for those that enjoy playing with friends? Is there anything in the future regarding multiplayer and social experiences that provides a real incentive to play in parties but doesnt penalize people playing alone?

[placid plinth]

Yea, that's primarily what I work on. Unless it's about Shadow Daggers/Spark Charges, I hate those 2. But we are in slow mode so see you in 10.

[placid plinth]

It's a really tricky line to walk. We started making the game single player knowing that we were for sure going to add multiplayer. So it was always designed from the ground up as a multiplayer game that just didn't have multiplayer yet. This does mean that many of the supporting systems for multiplayer are a little underdeveloped in comparison to some of the core gameplay systems. We do plan to add more multiplayer systems to make playing with friends more fun. We do intend for all the content in the game to be possible to complete solo.

[tawny briar]

Hey!
Will be some server improvements? During the day I getting sometimes hard lags, impossible for play. During the night for example now (11:43 p.m. for me) its totally okay, not single lag. I get it, during the day many people play but.. or any idea?

[frail escarp]

Ist there any way to link Accounts, bought one for daughter would be nice If Family etc could trade all items, esp because most time i play with it.

[royal garnet]

Lore stream?? 🧐

[eager hinge]

any plans for a player hideout/housing system?

[silent apex]

how much new content is coming to offline relatively?

[heady dagger]

Does the Dungeon Tier of Lightless Arbor, affect the vault rewards?

[placid plinth]

Yea, we're always working on improving the servers.

[placid plinth]

If you're mostly playing together, then the items you're finding are giftable between you. The stand out items that you find appart can be gifted using the resonances that you'll have found while playing together.

[placid plinth]

yup, working on it.

[royal garnet]

Can't wait!

[placid plinth]

kinda sorta, not a huge priority but we've got plans to put our own twist on it as usual

[placid plinth]

1.1 will continue to be the same online and offline (except for multiplayer and trade)

[placid plinth]

Yea, I think that some of the vault door options are only available on the higher tiers. Also think that the lower tiers are a lower area level, which would mean that they have way worse LP chance.

[gray pawn]

With the current situation prophecy makes zero sense, bazar has simply become a dream place... and you don't want to take action against it until 1.1? very nice, after the news many will take advantage of this until 1.1. prophecy has simply lost all its value

Any plans to increase value of prophecy?

[placid plinth]

Assuming we're using the term prophecy in place of CoF here, we don't have any major changes planned to prophecy in a minor patch before 1.1.

I do want to clear up a misconception. I'm actually just going to go double check the post real quick. Yup, ok, "and you don't want to take action against it until 1.1" this is not what we said at all.

I'm assuming we're talking about this post: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rmt-and-exploit-statement/70338

I believe that this is the section you're probably referencing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
"we’re not implementing any actions which we’re able to talk about, however if we do plan to take any actions which directly eaffect players we will communicate those actions."

We may or may not be doing things that we can't talk about right now. If we take actions that directly affect players we will tell you about it. If they don't directly affect players, we might or might not tell you about it. We try to word these posts very carefully.

[fluid axle]

Will the new "mirrored/duplicated" item have a set number shown? like a "1/6" "2/6" "3/6" "4/6" "5/6" 6/6" etc in the corner? or will all the duplicates look alike and not give any extra data than a slightly different tooltip art? I like the idea that was proposed in the announcement but I fear unless each individual item has a different tooltip than every other individual copy, it doesn't achieve the goal. The announcement was a little unclear, do you mind clarifying or expanding on it?

[gray pawn]

You understood me correctly. Currently, even crafting is a dream in the bazaar, as people can buy the t7 bonuses they want for a paltry 10k and then customize their alternatives. I get that not much can be said about it currently, however it has become a significant disadvantage for prophecy players. To get just one item perfect for my lp4 items takes me an extremely long time... while now anyone can buy it for 10k and craft so often they want. Apart from that, many unique items on lp3 are also only worth 100Mio (remember 100Mio used to be a lot, now it's not, as the market is extremely flooded. I generally wonder where they got all the big money to buy several 1.5 billion coins worth of items)

[worthy stump]

The gold came from the exploit they recently patched

[maiden brook]

With the falconer's falcon skills having the minion tag is this something we can expect to be added onto the primalist companion abilities? Not the summon skills themselves but stuff like crowstorm and venom nova

[gray pawn]

Right, so extremely valuable items are now extremely cheap. e.g.: red ring only 100mio? That's the rarest ring item you could possibly get with a lot of luck. Now everyone can afford it thanks to the amount of gold. So it's a huge disadvantage for the prohecy players.

I also have another significant improvement suggestion for the dungeons. You could apply the same monolith system to dungeons, because at the moment for high end players t4 dungeons have simply become pure boredom, because you don't pay attention to the bosses or the mobs in the dungeon, because you simply overrun them and are annoyed by the long stretches you have to do twice before the boss map comes. But with the monlith system in the dungeon it would be a certain difficulty even for everyone to master the dungeon, of course as a reward with increased drop rate of the LP number.

[narrow gulch]

You arent buying BiS t7 affix exalteds that just have that t7 affix for 10k. This is an extremely disingenuous comment and feedback towards mike.

[placid plinth]

It will just show that the item was mirror by a legit method, that's all.

[placid plinth]

It's possible but I wouldn't expect it. Not a terrible chance if you put it in #1210282176680169562

[jade raft]

you realize you're arguing in the wrong direction right? RRoA's were like 50-60m for 0 LP before the mess this weekend.

You are arguing MG being an easier time because you are assuming everyone has tons of gold which is simply not true. There are plenty of players who had NO idea what was going on, sold their items for non-inflated prices because that's what they were used to, and now their gold has 10-20% of the value it had last thurs/fri

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure what your question is. I think I've already addressed your concerns. If you'd like to submit feedback, please send it to #1210281911872786482

[maiden brook]

Already done! #1210289045310017536 message i was very disappointed when i realised a scorpion double spell nova build wouldn't work.

Also does dragonflame edict's fire nova have an unlisted cooldown?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, I'd have to check. Check alt?

[heady dagger]

thanks!

[sly comet]

Is there any chance of set items getting some more love to increase relevancy?
Example being able to have maybe 1-2LP.

In their current state they really feel like they can't compete with uniques that have LP, which is unfortunate because the sets have some really cool effects.

[snow nova]

Heya. Firstly cheers for the awesome game. I'm enjoying LE more than any other arpg since the glory days of D2. Will you guys be putting out the last chapter(s) of the story with the next cycle?

[eternal galleon]

Thank you so much for reopening the chat! I was wondering if broken/glitched/buggy skill nodes like return below are likely to be fixed in the next cycle or are some of these things likely to be touched before then? I guess the question is how are the team approaching bugged skills in terms of time allocation vs other important work like future cycles?

[spring basin]

Any interest in making COF a permanent part of the game after the season? I havent been around Last Epoch as long as some of yall, but its a great way to play and you don't have to worry about the "market" circus that comes with MG. I have only seen a handful of 3 LP items but the tough to get gear is accessible and its working really well imo.

[subtle wedge]

I've posted in feedback, but, would be amazing to get an answer why input buffering of skills isn't a feature of Last Epoch?

[fossil dune]

COF and MG were always intended to be permanent.

[urban matrix]

When is the next cycle looking to begin and when will we be getting some cool teasers?

[untold forge]

[unique linden]

Hello, I have a question relating to the recent job postings that were listed for EHG, is it appropriate for me to ask here? If so I was curious as to how much industry experience you actually require for roles such as the QA tester. Is it potentially possible that someone with real world experience in entirely different fields could throw their hat in the ring and come out with a role?

[placid plinth]

There are a couple of us that just grab a few every week to handle. You can see these in the weekly patches.

[placid plinth]

We aren't adding temporary content right now. The base game needs too much stuff for us to be doing temporary stuff just yet.

[placid plinth]

It's probably just not something we've wanted and hasn't had enough requests for us to consider it. It doesn't come up very often.

[placid plinth]

Cycles are planned to be generally roughly about 3-4 months apart.

[jade raft]

If I may; What was the logic behind pushing back the 1.0 Launch a year ago, launching and then there still is more to add to the base game? Would it have been better to not go full launch and continue in EA?

(I ask this as someone who is fairly ignorant to modern game dev cycles/business)

[placid plinth]

Totally fine, I can't answer them all but this one I can. It's totally worth the shot. We care more about your random server first raid boss kill story than is probably normal.

[untold forge]

I asked this before. I was trying to copy mike’s answer.

[placid plinth]

I think yours was worded slightly differently. And I recognize you.

[stoic zenith]

"The second exploit we became aware of was the recent gold exploit, which we created and deployed a fix for in less than 24 hours of being made aware of the exploit."

Does this imply EHG was first made aware of the dupe exploit 1-2 days ago?

[subtle wedge]

If I may, it probably doesn't come up often because the majority of people don't understand what it is and don't know how to communicate why exactly the game feels less responsive than others. It would make the game so much better if it could be implemented, and even people who don't understand what it is would notice the game "feel" is better afterwards.

[narrow gulch]

I know what it is, and it doesnt bother me that its not in LE

[placid plinth]

We had already delayed twice. As we got bigger, there is more community pressure to actually release. It becomes a balancing act of speed and quality. We did also then do a 4th delay to hit a better launch window and also finish the last two classes. I think the playtime stats that we are seeing compared to the industry and genre indicate that we have plenty of content for the price. We just have extremely ambitious goals for all the stuff we want to put in. If we didn't release until all our ideas were done it would be another 5 years. At some point you've gotta see if the baby bird will fly.

[unique linden]

Thanks a lot for the reply, between responses like this and the general vibe you all give off when talking about gaming - really shows that you are in this for the right reasons.

[untold forge]

You recognize me?? life is complete

[placid plinth]

I think it's 3? days ago at this point but yea that's what it says.

I think I should clarify something. We get a ton of claims of dupe and gold glitches every day. They are 99.99% false positives.

I don't know the real percentage but I get claims of them put in front of me every day to check. I am aware that a bug report was submitted earlier than that.

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, idk how much you can talk about fractured crown but it seems like the recipe got changed to runed visage instead of celestial helm, but fractured crown still uses a celestial helm's implicit, so I assume this was an oversight from item ID's getting changed?

[azure socket]

Question about the 2D Art flipping to represent legitimately duplicated items, will this be introduced in the current cycle?

[summer finch]

Can the devs clarify if the detonating arrows build is a bug or not

[placid plinth]

I was not aware but that makes sense.

[placid plinth]

If you take the flame wraith node, all of them should be fire. You do have to resummon them to have the tree take effect. We are working on better ways to fix the snapshot that happens. The falcon is pioneering these changes quite well.

Zone transition resummons them.

[placid plinth]

I don't think I missed any but I don't know what question you're referring to. We frequently look at out of date uniques for modernization opportunities. Given the general trend in ARPGs for items to either be godly or trash, most will always be "trash".

[placid plinth]

I don't think so. Pretty sure that's a 1.1 feature.

[worthy stump]

nope

[placid plinth]

We try to be consistent with mechanics. When you pick up an item, it goes to your inventory. Then if it's an axe you might take it to your stash. The shards were just taking up too much stash space and it was too fiddly to have to organize them so we added the auto organized special stash for them. We also didn't like how often you were coming back to town to empty them so we made it so you could transfer them out in the field.

[placid plinth]

Not the sizes but the way they are generated.

[placid plinth]

Nope but you can upvote #1210282176680169562 you want to see.

[placid plinth]

It depends if we are doing a bottom up or a top down design. So sometimes but usually when we are doing mechanics first it's more about providing a tool in a general archetype.

[placid plinth]

It's not impossible but we don't have plans to do that at the moment.

[placid plinth]

It's an experiment in different ways to make items. It goes with a few other special ways to make items that we have been experimenting with. The sword, the weaver's will items.

[placid plinth]

Yup

Probably at the same time as a mastery centered around it.

No idea. We try really hard to do as little overtime as possible in general. The people who spearheaded that effort definitely earned a vacation though.

[dense frost]

Is there plans to make a special effect (or is there already) when and item drops with full max rolls (4x T7 or max rolled implicits+affixes on unique) similar to primal ancient items in D3 (different glow+minimap icon)

[tough onyx]

As someone who enjoys playing an archetype to the hilt, I love using all or most of the skills in a mastery tree for my first time playing that mastery...thoughts on how good or bad of an idea that typically is? I've noticed some builds seem to synergize better than others that way.

Related: Any idea on how much you dip into other masteries on your builds typically?

[placid plinth]

Not specifically but I always tell people to just send an email with what you think you'd be a good fit for and you never know. It's a long shot if we don't have a position open but it's happened before.

[pearl marsh]

Have you considered using the Affix Indicators to indicate the LP of an item on the ground?

[rough garden]

Oooh so happy to catch this when it's open!
Spirit Plague's Exsanguination node says "Bleed inflicted by Spirit Plague" gains extra Penetration. Does this apply to Bleed that comes from Laceration ("chance to apply Bleed when hitting a target afflicted by Spirit Plague")?

[pine chasm]

Yes, it does. That's the only thing from Spirit Plague that affects those bleeds (otherwise they are straight from your character's stats, no attribute scaling).

[rough garden]

Neat! Thanks. Someone else had said similar elsewhere, but also noted they weren't sure and probably only a dev could be certain.

Multiplayer stability and speed continue to be our top priority. The multiplayer experience varies wildly based on many factors. I got on a great run with a buddy a few nights ago and we did the whole campaign with no issues at all. Other people can't transition to the first town still. We are working on it.

[placid plinth]

Unknown at this time. I'd like to.

[placid plinth]

Probably someone on the QA team or maybe Karv.

[night dagger]

This would obviously be low on the priority list but I think another way to create chase content would be to add armor/weapon effects ( like unusual items in tf2 ) onto ingame items as a very rare drop.
Imagine dropping a great rolled item for your character with a few lp and it also has a purple fire effect on it. It could also work with a transmit system and unlock the purple fire effect for that weapon/armor type permanently.

[verbal birch]

We have a question about Lightning Aegis / Void Aegis. How does the damage mitigation on these work if a single hit exceeds the damage breakpoint (25% of health for lightning, and 100 flat for void)? Does it only mitigate that much damage, or will it apply to the entire size of the hit?

[uneven seal]

Would anyone know how often the ladder updates? My buddy and I did a good run, and it hasn't updated after a while.

[placid plinth]

#1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

It should be pretty quick. It might need to have the server close to commit the entry or something. I'm not sure. Give it an hour before wondering I'd say. I'm just making that number up. I don't know how long it actually takes.

[uneven seal]

Thanks!

[slate spire]

is there an eta for more cosmetics that comeplete the sets currently available?

I want to start collecting cosmetic sets to mix and match and further support the game

[placid plinth]

Lightning Aegis grants the stat 25% less damage taken
The trigger to remove it happens after you take the hit. This means that the entire hit is mitigated by the full amount.

Void Aegis: Grants 10% reduced damage taken. Breaks after you take 100 damage, releasing a void rift dealing damage to nearby enemies.

Void Aegis grants the stat 10% less damage taken and is removed after you take a total of 100 damage.

The reduced damage taken in the wording for Void Aegis is a typo. All percent damage reductions are Less.

[void tide]

does the emporer normally heal like 25% of his hp regularly in empowed monos

[placid plinth]

I don't think that one has a self heal mechanic

[placid plinth]

I don't know when specific mtx will come but we generally release them during major patches so the next batch will be 1.1.

[verbal birch]

so if you take a 10k hit with void aegis up, does that become 9,900 or 9,000?

[placid plinth]

9000, you don't take damage from individual hits as little piecemeal ticks.

Incoming hit for 10k
you have 10% DR
hit is 9k
did you take 100+ damage?
yes, remove void aegis

I'm really curious what all the typing was yoshi

[verbal birch]

oh thats great, people were skeptical about it but i personally suspected it worked this way. i figured it would be fairly useless at even the minimum level you could take it if it worked the other way.

My big question is how exactly does Endless Arena scaling work. It feels like the wave # is like 2-3x as hard as the same value in corruption.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry I don't know the function that handles it off the top of my head. It's not tied directly to corruption but both are tied to damage so you could make a conversion formula which would probably need to be a few approximations that start and stop at different points or else be a gigantic mess.

[verbal birch]

I'll be looking forward to any detailed information you might be able to muster up eventually. In the meantime, do you know roughly if there are breakpoints, or does it scale linearly? And are there any hidden mods that can apply? Feels like mob movement speed is much higher than in arena echos sometimes, wondered if thats placebo.

[placid plinth]

It doesn't have any hidden effects. We don't really do that anywhere. If information is missing, it's a mistake.

They don't just go linearly. They have scaling breakpoints which will start to increase difficulty faster. I'm a little surprised those functions aren't actually in the game guide come to think of it.

or possibly on LETools or Tunklab

[topaz vessel]

Is it true that the higher corruption you have it increases the odds of legendary items having higher LP? Someone ingame wrote in the chat that the devs had said this, just wanted to confirm

[placid plinth]

yup, that was added in 1.0 I think. Maybe 092 but I doubt it.

[verbal birch]

another suspicion confirmed. all i could find from research originally was that endless arena had the same scaling as corruption. i lost a few early characters and quickly realized that wasn't true 🤣. its weird that arena doesn't show the damage modifiers like monolith though, that would be helpful.

[placid plinth]

I have an image of it showing that info in the quest tracker HUD UI at some point. I'm thinking this is much the same as it is displayed for monoliths. It might have gotten removed from there by mistake when we overhauled that at 1.0. I could just be misremembering that completely.

[pale bramble]

Guys a quick question. Is it possible to escape from boss room with teleport? Technically is it possible before you get killed (HC) ? The delay to get ported to town will get me killed?

[opaque carbon]

White items, seem pretty pointless, is there any scope for increasing the forging potential on them so we can at least make reasonable t20 rare items from them?

[somber marten]

Higher rarity=more forging potential

[opaque carbon]

I know, but white items are pointless and may as well not exist. It would be good to utilise the base with no stats so you can make an entirely custom item

[brisk jackal]

I've collected drops from over 200 exiled mages in a rank 8 COF (where 25% of rare drops are converted to exalted).
Among them, exalted items account for around 35%, which seems to correspond to the 25% stated for rank 8.
However, the experimental affixes of T6/T7 are only around 2-3%, much lower than expected.
So, I assume the generation of experimental affixes occurs after the rerolling of item rarity? Therefore, it wouldn't be influenced by COF for T6/T7.
Is this assumption correct, and is it part of the design?

[silent sundial]

I dont know if this is the place to ask. But LE keeps forcing my PC to boot. It can happen after 30 mins, or after 8hours of playing. No other game does this. So i dont think its my PC that has an issue. ive read about the memory leak issue around the net but dont know to identify if thats what forcing my PC to boot. Is this a known issue or anyone heard about this happening to others? ty in advance <3

This may have already been suggested but I have a simple idea to make Set Items more viable in the game. Would it be possible to have them drop with the chance of LP to roll on them? Set bonuses need to be buffed a little to get them closer to uniques as well. Just a thought as it's a shame set items are pretty much considered trash in this game.

[fleet galleon]

They've said previously they don't want to give LP to set items

[frail sentinel]

Please submit in game bug reports when this happens, the team are looking into this and those files help!

If you can get your crash logs too, please reach out to our Support Team or DM @jaunty pier and we can attach those to the in game bug report.

Opening task manager and watching Memory use can indicate if a memory leak is approaching critical levels, just make sure you only have Steam, Last Epoch and Task Manager open.

You can also increase your Page File size, though this is not a fix - it just extends the amount of time you can play before a reload is required to avoid a crash.

[silent sundial]

thank you so much.

[worthy folio]

is it intended for "Show" in loot filters to reset any recoloring back to the default?

[worthy stump]

If it's above in the list yes

[high kayak]

Is there ever going to be a advanced tags search as well as bazaar advanced search in terms of searching for specific % ranges. Thanks

[worthy folio]

what I expected was, if it's recolored, it's already "shown", so "show" shouldn't "un-recolor". shouldn't there be a "recolor to default" option to do that?

[snow wyvern]

For each item, at most one rule applies. If a rule like "show" applies to an item, no other rule below it applies, including "recolor". Conversely, if you have "show" above "recolor", then the "recolor" does nothing

[stark plume]

Maybe it was already answered somewhere but I couldn’t find it, are there any plans to bring more content to the current cycle like we have arbor and echos and maybe soulfire but I feel like something is missing or at least I wish there was more to do

[worthy folio]

ah i see. i always thought of it like a reverse order of operations, or like layers that are applied on top of each other. i'm guessing what actually happens is that for an item they just go down the filter list and then stop once a rule applies, and perform the given action ("show", recolor, or hide), and perform no other actions. i do think that to do it the way that i was thinking could give filters some more flexibility, but the way it works now is more efficient

[elfin hazel]

do you have any plans to increase the number of mobs that is hanging around? like seriously, this game is really good but there are so few mobs that its starting to feel like an rpg and not an arpg, especially in arena but also in monoliths and in dungeons. i could have gathered up half the map and taken the entire thing in no time

[thick idol]

Will we ever have events happening in game during down time to try to bring in some players? I love the game but feels lackluster after a month in

[acoustic juniper]

Considering Favor is account wide, not character bound, is there a reason you still lose all favor when swapping factions?

[lunar cairn]

Hi, I have a question. Are you aware of that the chat on the Polish server is broken since premiere ? Chat filter blocks random words and its rly hard to communicate and very offensive words that should be blocked like dic*, whor*, etc. are not censored. When do you plan to fix it?

[frail sentinel]

The team are looking into more 'complete' solutions for this, for now however you can reach out to our Support Team or DM @jaunty pier with a list of words being blocked and your Account name so we can double check that chat logs!

[snow wyvern]

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

[acoustic juniper]

that makes sense. but Hippitydippity the rogue isnt in any way related to LORDFARQUAD the paladin, so why should favor be lost account wide, you cant really have both, unless favor is calculated at a character level, but applied account wide.

edit: I do not name my characters like this, but Im sure you get the point, some people like to roleplay, and swap around on various toons, but overall it shouldnt impact your entire roster.

[snow wyvern]

1. You should name your characters like this. 2. It's due to exploits: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[acoustic juniper]

Fair if theres an exploit attached, I assume in the future if the exploit is fixed, they can remove that little nuance.

[snow wyvern]

The exploit is not due to a bug, it's something that would be possible if you didn't lose favor account-wide. As the answers say, you're not supposed to change factions regularly

[acoustic juniper]

I dont know... why cant you have 3-4 characters in one faction, and 3-4 in another. if you want to swap one character, why should you have to spend / waste your 50-100+k favor For ALL characters in that faction, to swap one. I understand your point, but Im thinking about a wider scope of characters, especially with SSF and other modes being available. (specifically market guild, where you typically hoard a lot of favor to be able to buy and try different builds), if you farm one character and want to swap them to COF to try something new, why should that penalise 3-4 other characters.

just a friendly topic though man, what will be, will be. I think account wide favor is great for rolling new characters (at least for MG), but its also causing this problem stated above.

honestly it hits both hard in different ways. at a core level, its impacting your ability to enjoy the game, by limiting you further.

[frail sentinel]

This is now a conversation and not a question for our Devs/Mike - #💬┃general please, thank you!

Is there ever going to be skip story and passive for alts. It's really time consuming just to make another character.

[flint bloom]

please send these screenshots to @jaunty pier as Averielle directed earlier. posting the images here does nothing. this is not the channel for it either. we work as fast as possible on getting these things fixed.

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205212339654234153 try any of these. also, this channel is explicitly #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs , so, no bugs here. thanks

you just need to wait for the support ticket to be responded to. this is not the channel for such a thing.

[placid plinth]

Thanks for carrying the ball for me eagles.

[fossil dune]

EHG doesn't like to say "ever" but there's no plans for it for the foreseeable future.

[tardy jungle]

I can confirm "ever" is a very long time

[placid plinth]

Favor is "stash wide" not "account wide", switching clears it for the current stash, not your whole account. Switching a SCF character doesn't affect any others.

The switch is intended as a 1 time event as a failsafe to prevent having to re-make the entire character. The event happens so rarely that this isn't an issue for the normal use case.

[tough onyx]

Do you (or any of the testers) have a favorite bug that you've found?

[placid plinth]

We do plan to continue the gradual increase in mob density that we have been doing. We do not plan to get to the density levels of PoE. Our combat is a little different and doesn't lend itself as well to quite that much.

Relevant search term: "mob density".

[placid plinth]

My favorites are the ones that have the biggest impact to change ratio. Like switching the order of 2 lines of code without actually changing them to fix a bug that affects every player in the game or something like that.

[placid plinth]

yes, a pinnacle boss system is the primary feature coming in 1.1

Every major patch will have new stuff to do.

[placid plinth]

Like seasonal events or something? yea sure, don't know exactly what yet but taking some time to have fun with it is definately on the table.

[placid plinth]

No, a 4xT7 item is so rare that it's not worth the time investment to make something special just for it. Maybe if someone ever finds one we can put something in for them to take a screenshot with lol.

Also, chances are pretty good that if someone ever does find one, it'll still be bad because the affixes won't line up and you can't change them.

We do have other item types or special versions of existing item types that we are considering.

[tough onyx]

Yeah, those kinds of bugs are really fun. I'm a fan of any that causes a dev to come back and narrate the story of how they figured out what was actually causing some weird problem that was being seen. Those are always fun to listen to.

[opaque carbon]

Are the going to be any improvements to existing sets, I've yet to see a published build that uses any part of them... if so, any sneak peaks? 😄

[placid plinth]

Check out lightning meteor, awesome build, tons of fun.

We have larger plans for sets that will make them be a more mechanically interesting and useful item type. No details are available at this time. However, I finally saw someone suggest an extremely similar idea recently. People have been pitching set fixing ideas (mostly just slap LP on them) for years and I finally saw someone suggest (basically) what we are planning.

[worthy stump]

may i suggest changing them from their current form

[placid plinth]

nailed it

[grizzled pivot]

Will there be colorblind game support?
One of friends is colorblind and he often asks me about items rarity. For example experimental rare, rare and exalted are all same color for him and its bugging him alot with it. As he tries craft legendary gears and just simply cant do that.

[opaque carbon]

he could change them in filters

[twilit orbit]

I missed those ask devs questions c:
Thank you for all the support you guys gave to the coomunity <3

[spring basin]

Its pretty obvious that the Runemaster mastery benchmark is Frost Claw/Nova Claw. Plenty of options on build/play style. As you get further into higher corruption and the item drops improve, you continue making it better. With most other Runemaster build options, they hit a wall very early when you start pushing corruption and probably couldnt beat a T4 Sanctum solo. Are you guys looking at enhancing the other options? I know most companies (Blizzard) will just opt to nerf a single build since that's waaay faster vs tuning up all the others. Just curious what your vision is for Runemaster.

[flint hull]

From what I've seen so far Forge guard needs more love to be a valid class for any content at all really. My friend stopped playing the game cause he felt it was to weak for any sort of end game content.

Qustion: will there be buffs or changes coming to Forge Guard

[vivid mural]

If you had to pick your number one thing you wanted to see added that isn't already planned for 1.1 what is it and what is the technical reason it isn't coming yet. (I want to see the devs wish list)

[placid plinth]

Along with other accessibility options, colorblind mode is something we do plan to add to the game. I'm sorry, I don't have any eta on it and all I can say is that I know it won't be in the next couple patches.

[placid plinth]

It's not about the time to do things that dictates if a buff or a nerf (or some combination) is needed. We need to look at the gameplay patterns that emerge on both and decide what direction we think will be more fun for the game long term.
As with all classes, we want people to be able to explore themes and playstyles that are interesting and fun for them.

[brisk nova]

We have also banned accounts with duplicated items from the first exploit, and we have been and are continuing to process and ban all accounts linked to RMT services (both buying and selling). These regular account bans for RMT involvement are actively removing significant amounts of gold from the economy, which we expect will help bring down inflation. My question is im someone that doesn't know this existed but bought a item from a market that was duped would i get banned?

[placid plinth]

I think hyperbole in feedback is very detrimental to the conversation as a whole. Forge Guard is generally regarded as the weakest mastery at the moment. I don't have any details on the status of potential upcoming balance changes.

[placid plinth]

Weapon swap.

[tardy jungle]

Hey Mike, Has there been any discussion on decision paralysis from the dev team? Basically, where by being measured and thoughtful about every decision, it hurts or hampers the development of the game?

[placid plinth]

Interacting with the system in good faith and taking normal actions that are expected is not ban worthy. I think we have a pretty good false positive detection rate so I wouldn't be concerned about legitimately accidentally breaking the rules and getting banned. If you do get incidentally banned, you can appeal it on our support site and we can take a closer look with you to make sure.

[placid plinth]

I feel like we do a really good job at not getting stuck in analysis paralysis. Usually if you see me say something like "we're still deciding what to do", it's because we just haven't got to that thing yet in our design meeting discussion list yet. It's very rare for a decision to be deferred by even 1 meeting. I'm curious what gives you the impression that we are significantly affected by this?

[vivid mural]

I see alot of people asking for nerfs or buffs between classes because they feel things are unbalanced, since there is no pvp how concerned are you with balancing classes off of each other over making sure each class feels fun to play. Does keeping classes balanced in power scale hold much weight?

[tardy jungle]

I think you hit on it. There is a lot of answers in the area of "we want to look at the data" or "still making the decision" its helpful for the context you just provided.

[placid plinth]

Relative power levels hold a lot of weight for many of our players which means it holds a lot of weight for us regardless of how we feel about it. Personally it doesn't bother me at all if two classes are super imbalanced but I know how much it means to our players and how much it drives the narrative. So, we do make a very conscious effort to keep as many options in a roughly similar power band.

[frail sentinel]

You won't get banned for that, nor will you be banned if someone used duped gold to buy an item from you. Hope that helps!

[zenith root]

Somthign thet whould be funs to see whould be stats From how many played cycel vs legacy and how was it % splited on MG and COF

[rapid yacht]

Even an imperfect number that doesn't try to disentangle multiple characters per account would be fine. Stats based only on characters that got above some threshold level would be great to see. That way, there's no need to worry about the sum of MG and CoF being greater than 100%

[keen idol]

I know this has been asked to death but I haven't been able to find an answer directly from EHG, only speculation. Why is there no way to measure dps via something like a dummy or trainer? I was wondering if it was due to design philosophy, limitations, or simply not seen as necessary. I appreciate the existence of dps tooltips but they don't seem like a great solution since they're inherently more accurate for some builds over others while being prone to oversight/bugs.

Any plans to make obsidian resonances drop more frequently? Currently they drop at an absolutely abysmal rate, played with my friend quite a lot and all we have is 3 golden resonances and nothing else, it's god awful atm

[tall zodiac]

Hey Mike. What is the motivation for nerfing the falconner in next patch? I thought the survey made it clear we only wanted bug fixing not changes to skill power during cycle when not related to a bug. I can't imagine the devs catering to a minority of very vocal players actively looking into spoiling the fun others are having with a different build than theirs... I'd like to see a post describing the reasoning. Does this exist somewhere?

[agile hill]

The falconer thing surprised me because everyone is playing DA MM

[frail sentinel]

The issue highlighted in the #news post between Falconer and the Gathering Fury Bow is an unintended bug caused by another bug fix unrelated to Falconer or the Gathering Fury Bow.

That bug would cause the Falconer to immediately lose all HP when using the Falconer Skill while the Gathering Fury Bow was equipped, we found this a little funny internally and thought we'd share it.

[coral pecan]

Any plans on adding new cosmetics to the store?

[placid plinth]

Yes, we will continue to add more cosmetics with major patches.

[inner scroll]

Hi Mike, hope you having a good day 🙂

Any plans for the balance team to look at lightning marksman? The fact that falconer is considered an issue balance wise is concerning when it's dwarfed by marksman.

edit - understood. Thanks Mike!

[placid plinth]

probably not, having class specific bonuses be available to anyone through a map mechanic like that would be weird I think.

[zenith root]

ARe we getting Gold cap increeses next cycel ?

[placid plinth]

Falconer having overtuned elements doesn't preclude Marksman from having even more. We only mentioned falconer's power level in that post because a falconer bug was the topic.

[placid plinth]

I don't know.

[tough onyx]

I do really appreciate that you all are not knee jerk nerfing new masteries. I'd rather see older ones polished and brought up to about the same level (in terms of design and probably power) as the new ones.

Also, that was a good joke. 🙂

[rapid yacht]

If you have both +10 spell damage and +10 cold spell damage, and 100% increased elemental damage over time, what parts of Disintegrate damage will be increased by the increased edot? Will it benefit all three of the base damage, added adaptive damage, and added cold damage? or only the base damage? (thank you!)

[sly comet]

Has there been any discussions around visuals of uniques and set? It feels a bit sad when you equip a new unique helmet and it looks exactly like the level 20 magic helm on your character. I get that mtx is a good substitute for that but perhaps as a low prio in the backlog :p

same goes for set uniques, would feel good if there was even a small indication of wearing a set armor, thinking of d2 days of putting on full talrasha having a visual effect around your character

[arctic swan]

From previous comms, my understanding was that masteries would not be reduced in power mid-cycle apart from bugfixes - does this remain the team's stance?

[terse swallow]

Sorry, this is going to seem redundant, but I just have a clarifying question. So if an ability doesn't naturally have cold damage, if you have +cold damage on your gear, the ability benefits from it? I had an understanding that it only took effect if the base spell type already had that damage. The +[element] damage on Bows have been vexing me for the same reason.

[placid plinth]

If you would like to make a suggestion, please use the appropriate channel. #1210282176680169562

In the meantime, you can easily assume that we have considered almost everything remotely related.

[azure jasper]

is it normal that i cant die in end of time dungeons missions?

[rapid yacht]

a modifier has part of it that describes the effect, and part that describes the matching conditions. The cold type for flat damage is part of the effect, unlike for increased damage where it's one of the matching conditions

[untold eagle]

Is there a dev who speaks Spanish?

[placid plinth]

Kinda, I'm not sure how we worded it but it was very clear to point out that this wasn't absolute. As a general stance, yes we don't have plans to do mid cycle nerfs.

I'm assuming that this is in reference to the recent mention of falconer in #news. Please re-read what was written and then if you still have concerns, you can look up in this channel for more info.

[arctic swan]

Thanks for the clarity!

[placid plinth]

yes but half of that is that I'm not sure what "end of time dungeons missions" are. It's weird that you can't die anywhere other than the 1st zone of the campaign though so the location doesn't really matter.

report bugs at #1210281997591908452 or in game, don't try to DM it to me please

[placid plinth]

• disintegrate is a dot
• the scenario you layed out would have your disintegrate dealing fire, cold and lightning damage
• all of the elemental damage that disintegrate does is elemental damage over time.
• your elemental damage over time is affected by increased elemental damage over time effects

the ability gets all stats and uses anything that is relevant. Because the base damage is only fire/lightning, the generic added spell damage would be 5 fire and 5 lightning instead of a 3.33/3.33/3.33 split. Adding 10 cold spell damage doesn't give the spell that base damage or tag but it does give the spell that damage.

A more intuitive way to think about this might be that if you had a basic melee attack that is all physical but you also had the effect on your sword of "+10 melee fire damage". Would you expect your attack to get the fire damage? (just for the record, it does get it)

[placid plinth]

yes but I'm the only one available and I don't speak spanish, sorry.

like, enough to be a tourist without a translator but that's about it

[dense frost]

Are you able to open up how you balance skills/builds while in testing phase (or creating new ones) so something doesn't secretly become overly overpowered.
I.e. Do you test all possible interaction/run calculations or is there another method to the madness that you are able to reveal?

[terse swallow]

Perfect, thank you. I always wondered about this but I found it difficult to test. I had a Quiver with +Void damage and thought it was useless because I couldn't find any Void skills on the Rogue.

[placid plinth]

It's a combination of many steps that are basically just people trying to break it. It's not possible to test every combination of interactions. There are enough possible combinations that the number would be written in scientific notation and we, as humans, wouldn't have any frame of reference to understand how big the number really is.

[round pollen]

I kind of love this

[dense frost]

One for Mike specifically:
As a Senior dev for LE, would you care to tell us what the % of your workload would you say is spent answering discord questions vs developing the game itself OR do you spend time outside working hours answering questions?
And also, what is your role in the development process itself if you can reveal that?

[worthy stump]

Whats the distribution of cof vs mg

[rapid yacht]

The new piece here for me is that the added cold damage inherits the damage over time tag because it's adding to a spell dot. It seems no matter how many times I go over it, I keep coming up with situations where I'm not sure how to extrapolate the rules I know, so I really appreciate being able to ask for clarification like that :)

[crude plover]

The damage doesn't inherit the tag (only subskills "inherit" tags from their parent skill), the skill itself has an added damage effectiveness

[hybrid heart]

Could we get some indicator that we're charging a skill? It's pretty hard to tell easily if you're charging vs just standing still

#1205212339654234153 message

[spring basin]

Respectfully, I don't think that's correct at all regarding "many" players wanting balance. The core part that improves the experience is being able to continue improving the build and be able to access increasingly more rewarding content as a result. The equity of outcomes strawman is typically from casuals who just want to copy/paste a build guide as opposed to learning how different modifications tune their performance/etc.

[placid plinth]

I answer questions in here while some process is running that I just have to wait for. I often get little 30s-2min windows where I have to just wait. So I don't generally stop work to come here and answer questions. I also do a lot of it in my downtime. I do a lot of mixed things. Often just random odd jobs of things that another department needs getting done. I also do a lot of work on the design/development and buf fixing of skills and items.

Legend

[placid plinth]

She just kinda showed up with it one day. Legend for sure.

[crude plover]

Btw for some reason I just now had a thought about this response, how come you check every item in the scene, checking which ones are able to be vacuumed, instead of adding vaccuumable items to a list/other, better suited data structure whenever they drop and then only checking that list of items for items close enough to the one you're picking up? Sorry for the 2 month late question lol

Since I feel like adding an item to a data structure every time it (vaccuumable item) drops is a good price to pay to save on checking tons of irrelevant items (even if it's a simple check) every time you pick one up

[placid plinth]

It actually does do that but I just oversimplified.

[crude plover]

Wow okay lol

Hey I was power leveling with a friend and he unlocked empowered while i was in party, now when im alone, only some of my islands are empowered, is this a bug or am i missing something, every island empowered other than, the age of winter, spirits of fire and ending the storm

[placid plinth]

It's not a bug really but it is a little unintuitive. You have unlocked individual timelines through group play but you haven't unlocked empowered mode as a whole. You need to complete the last 3 timelines on normal to unlock empowered properly.

[snow nova]

Something I loved in Diablo 2 was replaying the campaign on a new difficulty as my character became stronger. It's something that I think they really dropped the ball with on D4, not allowing players to revisit cool boss fights and moments in the story without starting again. Do you think you guys will ever put in 'empowered' campaign (Like Nightmare/Hell in D2). Or would that be too much work/undesirable?

[placid plinth]

We decided long ago that we didn't really want to do this. We like the idea of revisiting old enemies on new terms though which is why we do bring bosses from the campaign into the monolith. It's more interesting if we can do the same boss but with a twist too.

(if you go back to the kickstarter page, there is a proposed game mode that takes you back through the campaign at end game though)

[spring basin]

Well, streamers talk about it. But they're in the business of putting out edgy "good idea fairy" stuff so they can get more followers...ultimately the only build that matters is the one you're playing. Barely a fraction of the people who play any game are streaming so that's not many. That was by far the cringiest part of Diablo 4; the devs and streamers telling everyone they were supposed to care about balance when I didn't meet a single player who had those concerns. If your damage numbers are higher than mine then that has no bearing on my experience.

[glass cairn]

thank you so much for quick reply, ive been watching videos tryna figure this out for hours, really appreciate you guys and this game almost 400 hrs in since 1.0 what kinda devs actively respond to questions in real time!!

[snow nova]

Ah ok, fair enough 🙂 I've only been around since 1.0, really. Talking about monolith bosses from the campaign - is it intentional that Lagon's tentacle walls retract in the monolith encounter, allowing you to just stand on the stairs and ignore most of the mechanics? Or is that a bug?

Also - is there some kind of turbo-majasa in the works that you can talk about? 😄 I got splatted by her my first run through of the campaign and when I realised she wasn't currently in the monoliths I was both relieved and disappointed, haha

[placid plinth]

bug
no, it doesn't make storyline sense to have majasa in the monolith

but we have other bosses coming next patch

[hasty canopy]

will there be new subclasses?

[placid plinth]

yes

[snow nova]

I wasn't here before 1.0, but there seems to be a huge gap between 'ward builds' and then 'everything else'. Did you expect this kind of meta to emerge or has it taken you by surprise? Was it common in the past for the meta builds to be hitting 2-3k corruption and less minmaxed builds to be almost tapping out between 3 and 500?

[edit] - I ask this as someone who is more than happy playing at 400corruption with my main character. I love that I can experience the end-game and rejig my builds when needed to progress, without NEEDING to follow a guide

[placid plinth]

We've seen runaway builds like these 4 digit corruption builds before. Ward seems to be ether "OP" or "useless". We've generally expected successful builds to be able to clear 300.

[past quail]

Any chance we'll see some of the "you got to cast the skill directly to get this benefit" passives relaxed in the future?
Stuff like the mana gain ("Mana Feast") on Rip Blood etc., there's plenty of it.

I guess these limitations are there to keep some power in check, but this is exactly the fun kind of power.
There's a lot of synergy between skills left on the table like this; figuring out interactions between skills and triggering more skills for benefits etc. is hella fun. I'm, personally, pretty sad to see it limited so much.

[timber lodge]

Any plans for additional classes in the future patch, or the focus is just on adding more masteries at this time?

[charred gale]

I have a friend who I have added on steam and in game shows me and him offline but we are both online in game but cannot play with each other because the game shows us both as offline is there a bug or any way around this I have tried to verify files exit reenter the game uninstall reinstall we both have done all of that and I am very unsure how to get around this i am not sure if this is the rite chat to ask but im not getting any help any ware els

[placid plinth]

We've got all sorts of more class and mastery class plans. None for 1.1

I assume you guys have all sorts of stats - do you know if an LP4 red ring has ever dropped? The % of it seems so astronomically low, so I'm curious if someone's actually gotten one yet

[deft leaf]

Have you all only been Game Devs or did any of you start out in the Business Software sector? If so, how hard was the switch?

[proud peak]

Couple questions I hope people can answer here.

Can you forge together an Experimental Exalted item and a Unique (with lp) at the Eternity Cache?

What dictates the drops from fullfield prophecies? Character level? Area level? Fixed drop pool?

Thanks in advance!!

[thorny folio]

Hello. I had the same issue as @bk. Was trying to play with my friend (in my LE friend list). Showed he's in-game on steam but when in-game social showed no friends online. The solution that worked was both of us continuously restarting until it eventually started working. This doesn't seem to be a scaleable solution (although I'm not too sure how widespread the issues is ... happend for the first time today). ign nevetsmai

[final lily]

hi can guide me how to rank up fast marchants guild

[sacred tundra]

xp equals more favour and also spening favour is how you rank up, my question for the devs tho is will they be adding more layers to our builds in the next cycle and beyond?

[chrome rain]

Is it planned for players to see if a tag on a skill (or skill node that adds that tag) to truly determine whether that skill or skill node scales with that tag?

There are a couple of nodes out there that apply bleed stacks for example but these bleed stacks do not scale at all even with the skill's primary damage stat (i.e. Intelligence for a certain Warlock skill)

Furthermore, the "meta" for some high performing builds seem to be rapid stacking of said ailments. There are a couple of uniques that amplify this effect by means of scaling cast speed for a certain stat, and a primary stat to be scaling tremendously high such as the immolator belt. This is double dipping. Applying stacks to yourself quickly by means of cast speed and then synergizing cast speed with high int onto dot builds (i.e. Chthonic fissures stacking torment).

Skills that have cooldowns without a dot component (the aforementioned skill is an exception due to many projectiles in its duration) just fall off fast after corruption 300-400 or so.

A solution would be to introduce a better proc coefficient for dots, ailments, and then amplifying that for skills with cooldowns. This way it doesn't just scale with primary stat, but a 4 second cd skill could have increased dot/ailment chance (coefficient) based on cast/attack speed for example.

[somber marten]

Thanks for the #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

We can look for that, I don't know where we store all that though. I would be shocked if someone did have one.

[placid plinth]

Most of us started somewhere else. I spent 10 years as a computer repair technician got a degree and spent a year and 3 days looking for a "normal" dev job before finally finding one but that only lasted a year (exactly) because I started working on Epoch full time.

We have people from all sorts of backgrounds now.

[placid plinth]

Yes
It's a pool that is limited by area level.

[placid plinth]

Kill monsters and use the bazaar.

[final lily]

is this possible favor trade other player ?

[placid plinth]

Layers as in Idols, Blessings, Items, passives, skills? Probably eventually. Next patch is focused around bosses.

[sacred tundra]

Thanks

[placid plinth]

You can direct P2P trade but all the same rules and restrictions of the bazaar apply, the only difference is that you know who you are trading with. The game still charges you favor and you can still only trade for gold.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are unclear on how something specific works, I would be happy to answer it. The skill tags do correspond with what affects it.

[verbal birch]

Does the balance team feel like Merchant's Guild is in a good place? I've played both factions to rank 10, and while my MG characters are far stronger than my CoF, the extra dimension that Prophecies add to farming makes it way more fun to play. Maybe MG could be reworked to also have missions that grant some MG related perks? Like favor/gold rewards/discounts, etc.

[placid plinth]

It's not really the balance team's job to do things like in your #1210282176680169562. MG brings plenty of depth and complexity as is. We will see more mechanics to engage with overall.

[noble steppe]

Hi Mike, thanks for taking some time again 🤗 understandable not a priority for a while, but curious nonetheless. Echos can be done relatively quickly, but they don't have to be. Scaling rewards from the reward chest is a nice incentive to spend a bit more time, but usually players tend to favor speed when they get a little more competitive or efficiency driven. This definitely doesn't apply to most players. Is there a chance we may see some changes in the future, where it is further encouraged to spend a little longer in echos, making it feel a little more engaging, even to more competitive consumers? Currently, I think we tend to slowly converge towards objective rushing. I should make clear that I do not think there's an inherent issue right now with that

[rocky echo]

Are there any plans for new classes in game?

[placid plinth]

Yup, on top of the items and stability you get from killing more enemies, we have started to add unexpected encounters (exiled mages are the first) which encourage exploration. I think what is missing is some sort of timeline level (where you pick the echo) indicator for guaranteed some event to exist somewhere in the echo so that you know to always explore that one. That's on top of the full random ones.

[placid plinth]

Please use the search and #1161416976321744896.

Yes.

[dense frost]

How does auto sort function as it seems a bit off.
Great example is a stash full of keys, when auto sorted same keytype is not sorted per row/column but seemingly randomized order, when sorting again the order changes slightly.

[placid plinth]

It's incredibly simple, it takes all the items, starts with the 2x4 items and places them in the box starting in the bottom left corner. Then it repeats for 1x4, 2x3, 2x2, 1x3, 3x1, 1x2, 2x1, 1x1. The order it looks at the items in is the order they were added to the box in. So since sorting technically takes everything out and puts it back in, the order it is placed in the box changes so the sort order changes. I actually made that about 5 years ago as a quick and dirty version to be used temporarily and we've just never gotten around to updating it.

[open thicket]

Are CoF prophecies affected by rarity/LP modifiers from where they are dropped? If that is the case, wouldn't completing prophecies in high corruption monos always be better than doing the arena or dungeons for example?

Also, is there a reason why favor is account wide, but individual prophecies aren't? If there's an alt I'm not enjoying playing anymore, but I just spent a bunch of favor on prophecies I won't fulfill, it seems like a waste.

[gaunt saffron]

Only your cof ranks have any impact on them

[dense frost]

Is there easter eggs in the game that to your knowledge hasnt been discovered yet? And if so would you be willing to reveal how many in your estimate (if multiple)?
And are there plans to include more in the near future?

[placid plinth]

Perrythepig has a youtube video with all of them I think.

[verbal birch]

i heard there was an undiscovered chrono trigger reference remaining, has it been found already?

[pearl sail]

what's the max number of gaze of orobyss that i can stack when pushing corruption?

[placid plinth]

50 is the max corruption you can gain from gaze in 1 fight

(I'm not sure how that translates to actual gaze but it's some weird log function I think)

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of but it's possible that some dialogue is like some obscure reference or something that I don't know about.

and like, there are tons of node names for skills and passives that are references to magic cards but I'm not sure that counts really because it happens by mistake in games all the time just because of the sheer volume of magic cards

[verbal birch]

lol that reminds me, the original set of endgame maps in poe were all basic/fetch/hybrid lands. also gaspar himself in LE is a pretty big reference to chrono trigger

[placid plinth]

yea, check out that perrythepig video I was just talking about

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdLna8NgGwk

[pearl sail]

is this documented somewhere in the game guide? i think it'd be best to let players know of the actual max number of gaze that you can stack before fighting the shade of orobyss when pushing corruption for max efficiency. i remember stacking 20 gaze and noticed that the bonus corruption to gain in the shade echo no longer upgrades. if that's about 10 max gaze per fight, then it's easily 10 wasted gaze 😦

[crude plover]

You never want to go above 3 gazes for efficiency

It goes something like 9,9,7 bonus corruption, so even on the third one you're wasting a little bit but usually that's just how much stability you get until you reach a good shade

[placid plinth]

I don't know if it's documented anywhere, I just checked the code to find it

[noble steppe]

In a full work from home dynamic, where is the company water cooler located? Is there a staff discord with a voice channel management is not allowed in? Is there a secret Microsoft teams network they're keeping secret? Is there a physical cooler somewhere in Dallas and if anyone is interested they'll have to commute for rumors and gossip? If there is no water cooler arrangement, could it be you weren't invited to the one there is?

[crude plover]

Trying to make Mike snitch out the dev hangout discord

[pearl sail]

im still new to this endgame stuff but can u explain why? 3 gaze seems very little when expanding the web, right? so you're not actually expanding the web that much?

[worthy stump]

Nah obviously its at CTRL+SHIFT+WIN+ALT+T

[crude plover]

You generally don't care much about exploring an individual web when pushing corruption, you simply choose a direction and go straight out from the center in as straight of a line as you can, so you can get to a high corruption shade as fast as possible, you're still doing echoes and gaining stability, and as thus also gaining gazes at the same rate that you would if you explored a web extensively, but by doing this you're fighting shades more often, and gaining their inherent corruption more often. Also like I mentioned before gazes have pretty strong deminishing returns after 3 or 4 so you're simply just wasting stability if you spend more than that. So you want to get to a shade before accumulating too much stability

[placid plinth]

lol management are some of the best jokers on the team. We've got like off topic channels that people hang out in sometimes. It's all pretty open though.

[chrome rain]

I am very sorry about that. I'll use a video to explain what I mean, with timestamp to respect your time https://youtu.be/C1lSJfL7H34?t=321 but there are more examples in that same video if you think it's worth your time.
DoTs & ailments are intended to be subject to the attribute that the skill that applies it scales with. But for some reason, as shown in the video & timestamp, this isn't always the case, making for "really bad skill nodes" as they don't scale with anything. My question was if there were plans to make these nodes' show their tags so we can see if they scale or not (And also makes it easier to report a bug "that's not a bug"). So that say, it is easy to identify whether Laceration's Bleed (in the video timestamp) is supposed to stack with Hungering Souls' Grave Bond.

Scaling Tags:
Damage over Time, Spell damage```
``` Laceration
Scaling Tags:
Ailment, Intelligence```
This way, you can conclude that it's intended that Gravebond skill node from Hungering Souls doesn't increase Laceration's damage from Spirit Plague, because none of the tags match. But as of now, the content creator is firmly concluding here that Laceration scales with absolutely nothing. And while you can conclude that with testing, it would be great to be able to just add tags to skill nodes so that the logic can do its magic while also making it clear for the players on the fly instead of equipping 1 item at a time and see what works, and also, again, prevent potential false bug reports.
Edit: Hiding these tags under [Alt] as so to prevent tooltip bloat because the function is already there seems like a good idea.

[placid plinth]

No because if we start listing those then we have to list them all and the list would be overwhelmingly long for every single node.

and they would have to be manually created and maintained. Every time a new mod was added to the game, you'd have to check every single node in the game for compatability.

[somber marten]

it's technically a bug: It's treated as part of Spirit Plague, but doesn't take Spirit Plague's nodes. It should on paper, take Spirit Plagues nodes but NOT any other skills' nodes, similar to Bone Curse.

[pearl sail]

is there a page where i can see all the currently known bugs/issues in the game that the devs are tracking for future fixes?

[crude plover]

Nope

[exotic mauve]

Are there plans to upgrade/update passives and skills on existing classes for 1.1? ( Personally don't care about bosses, which seem to be the focus for 1.1(?) I find most of them frustrating... especially having to go through a dungeon only to get one shot by a boss and feeling like you just wasted 15 mins of your life 😛 )

[dense frost]

[near remnant]

Hello Mike. It's me again. Sorry for bothering you.

I just wanted to ask whether you are able or willing to share what the design principles beyond Uniques and Sets are. Are they meant to create Unique builds? Or are they meant to facilitate comfortable alt leveling process? Something else? Because they seem to be mostly all over the place ; rather unfocused.

In any case, thank you!

[sinful pier]

If you don't mind saying, what was your degree in? My son will be entering his senior year and wants to go to college for game design/development

[pale bramble]

does 2 times deadly counts as double danger?

[frail sentinel]

Imagine, you have a 2H weapon equipped and a full inventory. You open the Forge to upgrade your 2H Weapon and spot you picked up a really good 1H weapon and want to know what will be better.

You put the 2H weapon in the Forge and equip the 1H weapon so you can compare them. After upgrading the 2H weapon you realise that the 1H weapon is better but the 2H Weapon is worth keeping (for an Alt, or slamming later) so you close the Forge and carry on.

You finally get to a Stash to put away everything, but what's this? Where is your 2H Weapon? Well as (in this scenario) you didn't have space in your inventory for it, it dropped on the floor when you closed the Forge and since you've changed zones, it's now gone forever.

That's why items stay in the Forge when you close it 😊 this way, you can empty your inventory to the Stash, move the item out of the Forge into your inventory and then Stash it safely!

[zenith root]

What is the Higest Gold Ammount the chest after a mono can Drop? Higest i have see somone got is like 170k

Deadly is a buff that does not stack.

Any big update, extend endgame content at middle cycle ?

[flint bloom]

no. pinnacle bosses and maybe other stuff are coming next cycle, 1.1

[dusk surge]

Sorry if it's not the best place to add this but can electrify get some love? I see juicy affixes like increased ignite chance and duration but nothing specific to this one ailment. Not to disregard the uniques that enable such builds, but it can be further improved.
Also maybe combine it with shock somehow as the latter only has 10 stacks (although good effect, feels like a waste of stat if you apply it fast) - maybe get some of the shock bonuses after x amount of electrify stacks?

[flint bloom]

[hollow ridge]

What will happen with the Hardcore stash once the cycle finishes? If it moves to the softcore one, what if there isnt enough space in it?

[ruby stump]

Hardcore stash doesn't change. Only characters do if they die. No details about cycle-end stash have been announced, but most likely will be remove-only like in PoE.

[crude plover]

There's actually a safe spot at the far end of the pizza

[flint bloom]

mike, what does the vault of uncertain fate do with all the gold we give it? does it like, eat it or something?

[crude plover]

Doesn't it turn the gold into the chests? That's what the animation looks like to me

[flint bloom]

you know, that makes sense. i never paid attention to the animations

[left blade]

I'd be thankful if you did figure it out! As far as I know it's the rarest item in the game - my tinfoil hat theory is one was dropped to someone who maybe doesn't log in anymore and it's just rusting away (if it does exist)

[wild mirage]

How do I know if something is a bug or if it's something that's "missing" from the game?
For instance I can't see the Consentration (Marksman tree) buff anywhere. It would be nice to see when the buff is active/inactive.

[flint bloom]

a bug report is still fine for something like this...it still lets the devs know that people would like to see this buff on the bar, even if its not a bug, the feedback is still good

[placid plinth]

I just have a bachelor of computer science. I took all the game design and development that my university had as electives (which wasn't much).

[crude plover]

there's no way a 4lp red ring has dropped btw, it'd be a pretty crazy statistical anomaly, maybe in a few years

[placid plinth]

technically around 2 billion

[sinful pier]

Awesome, thank you for answering

[placid plinth]

it stays hardcore, it will rotate just like the softcore one.

[zenith root]

Thx for Answer. now iknow my goal for next cycel lol 😄

[worthy stump]

So you date robots?

[placid plinth]

They don't all have to have the same purpose. Some are for each or some combination of the things you mentioned. Some are also just supporter uniques. Having all uniques and set items in a similar mechanical niche or design space would be boring.

[near remnant]

Thank you. Let's take Pontifex. 13 Necro damage ... on an otherwise Fire item? See what I am getting at? Why not 13 Fire damage? Is it supposed to be a thematic thing?

Excuse the overly minute questions. Sorry. 🙂

[placid plinth]

Because necrotic and fire damage is a common combination that we use on acolyte

[opaque falcon]

many questions:
1- when are we getting server stability
2- when are we getting shrine treasure chest and portals that dont appear inside the graphic? a shrine inside a mountain, a portal in a merchant stall between 4 barrels
3- when are we getting group dungeons( 4 players) would be a ncie improvement as in you need a full group to get in
4- when are we getting a better look on items? some of your gears look mad crazy but when you wear its a huge dispointment,
5- when are we getting better skill pathing through the mesh? still have issues with skill not working on specific ground mesh or decor, i cant warpath in various spot and spells still go through various trees.
6- when are we getting a bard? would make an awesome support
7- when are we getting male female gender on creation( no lgtbqia2jzhws89376kjfl bullcrap intended question)
8- will it be possible to get races eventually for the looks
9- are we getting class specific legendary weapons in the future(***|| like in everquest for epic class weapon quests could be a good time sink||***)

i know theres alot of questions

[exotic gazelle]

1-3: we don't have information regarding the status of bugs in ask-the-devs-no-support
4: All unique items equippable in hand (weapons, shields, catalysts) have unique 3D models. For helms, body armors, gloves, and boots, this is a far more signifigant undertaking as we need to model, texture, and rig these separately for each of the classes. It's something we'd like to do, but no current ETA as it's such a significant task it would be quite noticably be taking away from other features we could be adding that are more time efficient.
5: These tend to be very specific - It's not something that has one universal fix as we need to go into the map data itself to make fixes to that specific spot. If you've reported that case, we'll fix it.
6: We don't have any publicly available information regarding upcoming classes or masteries
7: We don't have a current ETA for character customization, but we'd like to add it. Again, an extremely signifigant undertaking for what it adds. We previously weren't looking into this because it is such a significant undertaking, which we did not have the studio size or budget for, and also our characters have been designed as distinct characters - they are their own person with their own backstories, so customization didn't make as much sense. We also focused on each character having a distinct silhouette so they could easily be picked out as that character (at a glance you can say "that's a primalist" regardless of what armor they're wearing), which customization can conflict with.
8: Yes, we'd like to do community events with rewards, and MTX are certainly potential rewards. No current ETA
9: These already exist as class specific uniques already exist which means with LP when they're upgraded to a legendary they become class specific Legendaries.

[fossil dune]

Just pointing out that I think Kain misread question 3; there are no plans for multiplayer only content.

[exotic gazelle]

Oh, I did misread that, yes, my apologies. We are not planning any sort of content which requires a group to be completed - all content should be completable solo.

[opaque falcon]

i suggested it since it would actually bring back an old mechanic of grouping content since grouping concept in dungeon crawlers died year ago when blizzard made gears overpower4ed for anything xD

@exotic gazelle my last question , sry for pining but 5 minutes to wreite is a long time. do you plan on banning the account AND te credit card of gold sellers anytime soon or you are going to do the same thing blizzard did? banning the account so they have to repurchase the game and keep gold selling active?

[tropic basin]

Would Foe Cleaver node from Rive affect + flat void affix on the weapon even if Rive is not a Void skill? I would think so but some are claiming it doesn't.
Foe Cleaver:

If you are using a two handed weapon, stats on that weapon that directly add damage, increase damage or add a chance to apply an ailment on hit, have double effect for Rive.

[somber marten]

Yes. There's whole builds around this idea.

[exotic gazelle]

Yes, it would still apply to flat void damage on the weapon. Rive actually can't be converted to void, it can only have additional void bonuses.

[opaque falcon]

my last question . do you plan on banning the account AND the credit card of gold sellers anytime soon or you are going to do the same thing blizzard did? banning the account so they have to repurchase the game and keep gold selling active to make a quick buck off their back?

[exotic gazelle]

All purchases are handled by Steam - we never come into contact with purchase info so that's not something we can do. and we cannot tell steam to VAC ban someone, or report their purchase method. Indie developers being able to do this through steam I think is something that could very easily be abused, even if there are cases with the purest of intentions.

[near remnant]

7.a Do you want to give even deeper stories and customization to these characters? Quests, backstories, even inter character content(Acolyte and / vs Mage quests etc). Rogue is from Maj'elka, what do you think about her getting more characterization there? Or Sentinel and Solarum / Rahyeh in the future?

[ocean lion]

Pure dodge build, possible to be achieved this cycle yall think? 👀

[exotic gazelle]

I'm sure our loremaster would love to, however if we go into character customization it doesn't make as much sense.

[near remnant]

Thank you. If you don't already know, I am hard in the "these characters are who they are ; no customization except Transmog and Mastery" group. Just like every legendary RPG character was(D1, D2 etc). Regardless of my opinions, which aren't important at all, there is a very important question:

This is obviously a very important topic. Do you want or plan to do a community poll about this topic? I urge you not to make it into a single question poll, but you do you.

[exotic gazelle]

That's a bit harder to say. This is a topic which has been around for a long time, and is extremely frequently discussed. As such, the discussions regarding it have been quite thorough, as well as there having been signifigant opportunity for all views to be expressed. So a poll may not be as applicable as the topic has already been well covered by the community several times to provide a general sentiment.

[tough onyx]

I think I've gone back and forth on my feelings on this personally, but I am interested in something I vaguely remember hearing a while ago during the beta:

Was there a plan to make the Rogue non-binary (or just ambiguously gendered)? And if so, do you have any thoughts on making another class go that route in the future?

[exotic gazelle]

I'm not sure unfortunately. I know body types have changed for different classes - The forgotten knight in the end of time was originally added an homage to the original Knight class, which had Sentinel as a mastery, which was later changed to the Sentinel we know now which as the Void Knight as a mastery. If we introduce character customization, body type selection would be one of the options.

[cunning fossil]

Hi, I'm loving this game. I have a silly question: in the future will there be customization of the appearance of our characters?

[flint bloom]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1161420614599446558

[tough onyx]

That's a great answer, and I honestly love the Forgotten Knight and her (?) sarcasm.

[dense frost]

Question regarding drops in multiplayer.
What I have seen while playing over 500h is that when an certain items drops when playing in a party from mage/bosses/chests, 90%+ of the time everyone in the group gets that item dropping at the same time and often same LP roll (but this is more random).
Is there anything in the coding towards this to "force" more similar/duplicate-ish drops from enemies/chests to drops for each player

[near remnant]

With that said, which classes underwent this whole Knight - Sentinel - VK process? For those uninitiated like me.

[pine chasm]

Yeah, boss-exclusive drops are always the same items for everyone in the party (just different rolls/LP). Caches have semi-fixed drops in a kinda similar way, but it's based on the cache itself - each type of cache has a particular name and flavor text you can see when you mouse over it.

[placid plinth]

Sentinel underwent the biggest change. Each was split into a 3rd mastery class at about the same time but none of the other base classes changed.

[pearl marsh]

Is dev stream on today's agenda for you Mike?

[dense frost]

Is there plans for balance the game to "max out" without "hard cap" to a certain corruption level on most builds and if so, what is it?
i.e. aim that 300 corruption is where the HIGH end pushers are and maybe with extreme skills you can hit 350 max build

[placid plinth]

yup, just under an hour from now

[placid plinth]

no

[dense frost]

When balancing the game, do you balance game singleplayer, multiplayer, neither or both in mind?
Also can you open up balancing a bit what do you keep in mind beside that when doing the balance (any comparison between builds/masteries/classes/skills/etc.)

[cunning fossil]

Ty

[placid plinth]

all of it really

[real scaffold]

Please tell me, will you somehow solve the issue with the time of garbage (white/blue/yellow loot) falling out of chests and/or mobs? At high levels of corruption this takes a very long time.
For example, an option in the settings: block the drop of white/blue/yellow loot? It’s easier for both the server and the players.

[marsh egret]

Good morning from NZ. I'm just wondering if you have any future plans for the Bazaar with regard to prices? For example, anything that drops for me that I want to sell to try and make some gold is already listed for zero gold and anything I want to buy is millions or even, in some cases, billions...

[crude plover]

You mean a loot filter? that's already in the game

[short elbow]

I don't understand why puncture don't get the" hit melee" stat when it's proc by net and electric arrow does when used with the unique dagger...there is a lot of fun build to get with that spec.

[crude plover]

That just means that the things you're trying to sell aren't really desired by others while the things you want to buy are very desired by others, that's just how an economy operates. Once you drop and sell something others want you'll reap the benefits. Although currently prices are still a bit inflated because of some recent events

[real scaffold]

I meant what I wrote: THE TIME/DURATION that loot drops, and you stand and wait to see if something will drop that the loot filter will show.
I repeat the question:
Please tell me, will you somehow solve the issue with the time of garbage (white/blue/yellow loot) falling out of chests and/or mobs? At high levels of corruption this takes a very long time.
For example, an option in the settings: block the drop of white/blue/yellow loot? It’s easier for both the server and the players.

[marsh egret]

Thank you for replying. I am just struggling to understand how I'd ever make 1.5 billion (or more!) gold to buy those "desired" items when I only currently have 5 million gold at level 99 after many hours of play. Hopefully these sorts of prices are more that a "bit inflated" after those recent events 🙂

[crude plover]

Yeah it should be a lot better in the next cycle hopefully

[somber marten]

... Doesn't it take a second or two?

[near remnant]

What current mastery would you say our characters are canonically? Is there such a classification and, if not, what do you think they are?

[dense frost]

I know this is not support channel, but where do i report dupe bug that I just found that is in the game for fastest action to get it fixed?

[fallen hatch]

Are runes considered items? If yes, shouldn't they be duplicated by rank 10 in CoF? Currently they aren't duped so that's where my question is coming from.

[real scaffold]

More like a minute or two.

[chrome oracle]

From my experience every patch broke working features and made a lot of stuff worse (and also fixed stuff of course). I was wondering if you guys are even doing QA?

[crude plover]

Please don't repeat the question every time someone replies.

[opaque falcon]

are there more plans of more map in the game? there is so much unused map are that would make for insane zones ❤️

[stoic zenith]

Are certain support tickets not being responded to? I'm sure you don't respond on weekends and Monday will be a week since it was submitted

[flint bloom]

Yeah. There are 3 more chapters coming...particularly in the ancient era if i had a guess

DM @jaunty pier and in game bug report

[gritty hare]

Hi !
Quick question can u weaver craft experimental affixes on weaver boots and new weaver belt ?

[gentle rock]

Any plans to add faction tags to the loot filter?

[flint bloom]

No, they are not considered items in this case.

[placid plinth]

no, experimental affixes only go on experimental items

[placid plinth]

no

[gritty hare]

Ty

[tired venture]

if I have multiple solo account found characters and I move one off of SAF, what happens to the stash
conversely, does anything different happen if I do so with only 1 SAF character

[azure jasper]

can anyone explain whats behind intention that for example rouge can drop items for mage which is trash basically ?
was grinding unique item reward just for it to be unequipable :D:D:D:D:D

[flint bloom]

uniques are not weighted by class. its deisgned to be a "oh thats cool, lets make an alt" or "let me farm this unique that i need for this build". normal gear is weighted towards your class tho.

[stiff solstice]

The stash is attached to the SAF "league", not any given character. Opting out of SAF does not do anything to the stash, other than make it inaccessable to that character

[tired venture]

so if I opt out, gold/runes/glyphs remain behind, same with stash?

I assume if I wanted to move stash items I could create additional characters to opt out and transfer them, but is there a way to move shards/gold/glyphs/runes/etc.

[placid plinth]

no, the contents of your crafting inventory (and other secondary stash items) remains

It does warn you of this before transfering

[near remnant]

Let me ask a meta question, if you don't mind:

When does a game (truly) begin?

[placid plinth]

That's the secret, it already has.
hulk grow meme

[near remnant]

Smooth. I won't probe further. Because I have a nose you know what I was on about.

[verbal cave]

Is there any discussion of a fix for the "soft disconnects" (only way I can describe it) that disable ability to continue progressing / complete (most the time completed) mono's / etc? Having to task manager - end LE Task - reload - miss out on said mono or mono rewards etc.
Also is this happening to anyone that plays "offline" because if not, I may honestly just say fk it and start fresh offline to not deal with it anymore as its driving me insane to be pumped for the exp mono and not be able to collect reward, or unique/saidwantedrewardhere and not get it for doing the progression to obtain it - obviously probably sound like a spoiled ass and I apologize, but I've probably ran into this issue well over 30 times at this point xD

[placid plinth]

We are constantly working to improve our multiplayer stability. I suspect that this is a multiplayer only bug but I don't know.

[verbal cave]

Hmm maybe once I get to the point of allowing myself to start another alt I'll do it offline cycle and see and advise.. maybe it'd be good knowledge to help pinpoint issue? I know you guys are doing your best and honestly overall are KILLING it - very excited to watch LE grow over the years, but had to go karen and rant a litte/get some info on this issue - XD

I guess it's getting prime NA time and seems much worse then later at night when I normally can play so maybe it is just servers being overloaded.

Also side note - Is there a specific reason why we can't "clone" live characters to offline to play / progress (even if offline progression didn't transition since that wouldn't be a good thing probably)

[ruby stump]

I don't think it's a busy server thing. Like me, lots of players play NA prime time and never run into that kind of issue. If verifying files and playing wired-only doesn't change anything, I would cut my losses and play offline.

[median comet]

Hey EHG, I noticed the page for the starforge pc giveaway with IGN that was supposed to end on 4/4 got deleted with no winner announced. Is that gonna get posted or?

[placid plinth]

I don't know for sure but I will prompt the people who do to make sure it does. I know our partnership with starforge is still going strong and they are still making the special LE computers. I just ordered a case myself today.

[scarlet dagger]

hey, im sure youve got a gigaton of feedback on every single aspect of the game, but got a thread about 'anti-fun enemies' going on reddit, if you are interested it is there lol

[verbal birch]

Can Dragorath's Claw's cooldown be reduced with CDR? In general can CD of abilities granted by items or passives be modified?

[flint bloom]

Cdr only effects skill cooldowns directly on the bar. Procs and such are not effected ever

[verbal birch]

Is it intended that triggers bypass inherent skill cooldowns (like Frost Claw triggering Elemental Nova with Infernal Nova allocated, gaining all the benefits but negating the 4s CD downside)

[fallen hatch]

I think i've reported that already but unique bow prophecies tend to give out exalted bows instead of unique ones, just a heads up and they are not getting duped so something's wrong

[placid plinth]

yes but probably wildly overtuned

[late comet]

There are a number of prophecies that fail to give its appropriate reward if some condition is not met. "Unique Armour (X Weaver's Will)" will roll items of any armour type (helm, body, belt, boot, glove, shield) then convert it to the appropriate reward. If the item rolled helm or body, the conversion fails because there exists no unique weaver helms or bodies. So the rare/exalted item drops instead with the appropriate faction requirement applied by the prophecy (Rank 2 for 8WW, Rank 6 for 16WW). Similarly, Unique Idols fail if the resulting reward is supposed to drop a mage idol and your character isn't a mage. You get a random idol with a rank 4 requirement. Acolytes will get rare/exalted bows instead of "Unique Bow", "Unique Ranged Weapon", and "Unique Ranged Weapon (1 Legendary Potential)", where ranged weapons are just bows atm.

[tidal cargo]

If a skill has a "%More" modifier skill tree node, does that modifier apply only to ailments applied by the skill via base functionality, or would that also affect external sources of say, "ignite on hit". Meaning additional ignites applied by "hits" would also be scaled by the skill tree node?

[placid plinth]

it applies to everything that skill goes on to do

[fallen hatch]

i mean okay but shouldn't prophecies bypass class requirements? I'm at rank 10 so i get everything and when i choose 8 unique bows i should get 8 unique bows, there's no "but" that makes the prophecy irrelevant

[fallen hatch]

Can we get some channels for players looking to play together on discord? Like 3-5 channels that we can go to when someone wants to play with sb else, would be a nice addition imo

[rancid forge]

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to field this type of question. A while back, I compiled a fulsome set of feedback and suggestions and posted them here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/comprehensive-categorized-feedback-after-280-hours-since-launch/69461/1

The sole purpose is to aid the development team with improving the game, and I felt the post's contents weren't compatible with the Discord categories. Is this suitable for the team's use, or is there a different format and mode of delivery that would be more palatable?

[placid plinth]

The forums are the preferred location for long form feedback. #1210281911872786482 is great for shorter form feedback.

[rancid forge]

Understood, and thanks for the reply! I hope this ends up being useful! 🙂

[placid plinth]

#👥┃lfg doesn't seem to be overrun. Does it get crazy busy at peak times or something?

[fallen hatch]

i meant voice channels, haven't specified it, my bad, thanks for the answer below Mike, appreciate it

[placid plinth]

oh, sorry no, we removed those due to moderation issues. Unfortunately we can't host those any more.

[arctic wadi]

Evening Mike, any talks about making resonance go directly into inventory or similar? Obsidian dropped which as we know is extremely rare and died ( I know, don't die) which obviously you lose it but that feels awfully bad for such an item of that type. I get losing normal loot but.... jc, thanks!

[opaque falcon]

at what point in time do we get full respec button when we try to respect our passive builds? i have 50 poinbts to move around and its taking for ever 1 at a time

[sour wyvern]

is there any plans to change the fact that when you farm a piece of gear on a toon that is with the circle of fortune you are not able to use it on a different character that isnt in that faction?

[verbal cave]

I think I fixed my issue (fingers crossed) -- could work for others.. @ruby stump advised verifying files, did that nothing so said f it lets uninstall.

Now the only issue is after uninstalling and waiting for reinstall to complete, I realized I never disabled OneDrive on my new PC - So I did.

Either simple reinstall fixed (hopefully continue with no issues) -- most likely
or
Disabling OneDrive solved problem -- pretty sure this is unlikely but figured I'd mention just incase.

[worthy stump]

Will there be a cap to gold from the reward chest at the end being capped since at higer corruption the chest can drop like 1m gold from a single echo

[verbal birch]

wait so even things like spark charges will get scaled by a tree's damage nodes?

[mild rain]

how high of a corruption are you even talking about at 1500 we get 100k

[noble steppe]

Hi Mike, assuming this is a reasonably final decision, #rules number 3 can be modified, as to remove voice calls, it may give new users the impression these channels are still available somewhere

[little raptor]

Spark charges (and Shadow Daggers) are a special case, and will not inherit anything from a skill's tree that does not explicitly call them out

[verbal birch]

i suspected as such. still would like to see that clarified in UI eventually

[crude plover]

I doubt it, that's the entire point of the faction tags

[soft steeple]

That's a good thing though

[dense frost]

What is the reason behind group play not giving everyone participating on a boss kill with sufficient stability a gaze as rewards?
It feels bad to lose stability, get blessing and boss specific loot but not gaining gazes for corruption increase, essentially leading to "wasted time" faming stability / progress without gaining any.

Also same applies to shades attempts to consume gazes to gain corruption?

[somber marten]

thanks for the #1210281911872786482

[scenic pasture]

lag in the game causing me to die repeatedly this morning. Can hear myself running around, but then get a message saying ive experienced a mild touch of death... losing all progress in monoliths and gazes of oroballs or whatever hes called.

[sly comet]

@frail sentinel this would actually be a very welcome QoL imo, as someone who likes trying different builds

[slender mica]

Hi Guys,

Do the corruption bonuses (1000% increased item rarity), apply to prophecy drops?

[crude plover]

no

Rarity decides the rarity of the item, if a prophecy says "1 exalted ring" then that ring will be exalted, rarity won't give it a chance to become unique or something

[dense frost]

does it affect chance of increased LP?

[crude plover]

That i'm not 100% on but i'd assume not

[flint bloom]

If you have a bug, report it using the in game bug reporting tool. Posting in the channel that specifically says no bugs, isnt helpful

[zenith root]

Blessing dosent effect boss drop right like Exalted mages . and like Wand blessing only effect drop chanse of a Wand of the Random drops and dosent effect a uniq to drop .

[sly comet]

Is Longshots "Puncture deals up to 40% more hit damage to distant enemies" calculated from the player or the trap if you're playing with puncture net trap?

[cerulean dirge]

So, now we have web version of the bazaar, despite devs specifically didn't want one to exist. Interesting what will their thoughts be
https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/984vKk7BML

[jaunty sapphire]

Is there a way to search on items names? Can't seem to find it

[jade raft]

@jaunty sapphire no there isn't.

my thoughts on the matter is that if they didn't want this to exist, then the in-game UI would be better. at least we get better searching functionality inside a browser.

Edit: It's actually worse than the in-game UI. But it creates an atmosphere that maybe EHG can roll out some UI changes sooner than later, but considering the cycle is p much over, it'll likely be later.

[ruby stump]

I wouldn't expect any changes until 1.1 earliest. Nobody's going to come back to play this cycle because of the bazaar UI.

[worthy stump]

Why are people getting the idea the cycle is almost over. We are like 1/4th maximum 1/3rd into it

[ruby stump]

Because PoE's league just started and D4 is getting a little boost. Also https://steamdb.info/app/899770/charts/#1m

[jade raft]

For sure. I actually have a few questions that Imma drop here regarding MG/Bazaar and hopefully Mike answers em at some point:

These are mostly questions relating to design philosophy regarding MG/Bazaar:

1. Why were several basic functions excluded from the Bazaar UI? Basic functions such as being able to search for ranges of rolls on items (I.E. such as Omnis rolling 1-48 on each resist) and not being able to designate specific tiers of affix rolls is painful. Idols also are a nightmare to buy/sell and should likely require you to select the base of the idol and then you are only allowed to select affixes that can spawn on that idol. Are there going to be meaningful updates to this?

2. The NPCs inside the bazaar are a cool design element/create immersion, especially because it's trading with multiple folks in the guild. However, ARPGs are about time investment and currently with Point 1 and 2 combined, the NPCs in the bazaar are just a time sink that I can guess not a lot of folks really enjoy. Will the team be looking to maybe condense these down (I.E. 1 NPC for General Idols, 1 NPC for class specific, 1 NPC for weps, etc etc.)

3. I know the team released the statement RE: Gold exploit/RMT and it stated that you are going to look into various ways to mitigate inflation; Is the team leaning any one specific way currently?

[opaque falcon]

that part is actually nice and it makes the bazaar look more alive.
otherwize the bazaar in itself would be a portal, a auction npc in front of a board and a quest npc. that owuld be it.
by doing so they actually allowed the zone to feel much more alive

[wise cradle]

Does anybody knows how I can sell all my crafting materials ? , when I hover over a crafting material its telling me press shift + right click to drop items but it seems its a bug since i cant sell it or drop it ?

[crude plover]

You can't drop/sell crafting materials from the material inventory

[fossil dune]

<@&1161418687471956101> clean up on aisle tangent, please

[crude plover]

This is not a place to discuss things. It also literally says in the title not to ask about bugs, this is not a support channel.

[gentle rock]

What is the reason the devs dont want faction tags added to the loot filter? If I'm farming rune of ascendance to spam on amulets, it's kinda annoying to see every amulet without the faction tag (since rune of ascendence gets stronger on faction based items)

[hasty grove]

anyone know what this orange/red buff is? he gains 1 stack per throw of traps and goes up to 2 stacks before it refreshes

[flint bloom]

Prob lethal cadance

[proud peak]

Does 'Increased damage over time' include things like elemental/cold damage? I ask because there is specifically 'Elemental damage over time' AND 'Cold damage over time' affixes. Thanks in advance

[crude plover]

Yes

[sonic shard]

Advent of the Erased Unique:

Less damage over time reduction

What's better - game codding wise - 35% or 15% ?

Asking because in the Alt view it's marked as - xx%.

But in the item itself it shows as + not -.}

Can someone confirm how it actually works ?

[cloud plaza]

Can anyone from EHG clarify if the recent post about the patch delay is saying that the next patch will include mid-cycle falconer nerfs or if it's saying that there will be a bug fix to the Gathering Fury instakill bug or both? To me it looks like it's a joke about nerfs that is actually communicating a bug fix to Gathering Fury, but I've seen people saying that it's an announcement of falconer nerfs in the next patch.

[flint bloom]

Please reach out via support ticket or ingame bug report. This channel is not for bugs, as it says in the name

[tawny briar]

Hi! Can I ask how exactly defensive stats working?
I mean.. we have blocks, okay block chance and block effectiveness is clear. But then we have armor + resistance. How it work? for example.. I have 70% armor, and 75% of all ressitance. I will get shot for 1000(without any reducing rn.) so if I suppose to get shot for 1000 and have this ressitance how much will I get shot? Thanks!
I am little confused now, because in game I play before this wasn't resistance for physical, and for physical dmg reduce was armor there.

[tacit basin]

out of curiosity will there by achievements added?

[spring basin]

Any thoughts on adding 5LP? Since you can seal one affix, doesn't it make sense to have this in the game? Additionally, would adding 5LP option to uniques allow a more attainable organic drop rate of 4LP and 3LP

[trail jacinth]

I was wondering if there may be a plan to have a dungeon mechanic to undo bad slams. Nothing feels worse than spending dozens of hours tryng to get the right unique with enough lp to feel that its worth it, and then also the right exalted item to slam and it coming out in the least ideal combination it could be. at least the efforts for the unique hunt wont be such a waste..

[flint bloom]

Devs want steam achievements, so some day

[split mica]

With the risk of asking a question, that have been asked before, is there a timeline for when the ending to the story will be released? I really like the story, but unfortunately, it ends in a bit of a confusing an sudden way, leaving you to want for more - Kinda like the ending of a Game of Thones season 😅

[tidal cargo]

I've heard that Exiled Mages loot tables are in no way affected by corruption, which seems to be true? I'm wondering if this also applies to the LP odds of their unique drops?

[uneven seal]

how do ailment stacks work in multiplayer if we both put on frostbite stacks? do our frostbite damages get added together? or does it take the higher amount? or something else entirely

[broken marsh]

does swaddling of the erased work with falcon / minions?

[frozen apex]

hey ppl, are there any plans to improve bazaar search system? it's almost impossible to find an item with the stats i want bcs there is no filter to help find it. i'm looking for a ring with a stat that isn't in the affix list, so i need to look one by one and have like 1.2k listed xd

[whole trail]

if seasonals and non seasonals play in same server how we can hold away people who collect they next season gear and sell for themself at season 2 to make faster start ? or season 2 have nonseasonal and seasonal different market ?

[ruby stump]

Everything from every cycle will end up in the legacy stash

[pine chasm]

Seasonal characters can neither trade nor party with non-seasonal characters. There's no interaction between them, other than the chat.

[errant void]

out of curiousity how come we cant put increased void damage on wands? on every other weapon though it is possible. Its an interesting choice for an affix.

[rough garden]

In the Resounding Abyss node for Abyssal Echoes, "Echoed casts deal more damage" refers to the VK passive right? Not when it "echoes" from other mobs past the initial cast?

[tranquil niche]

I think it's because if you're using a wand you can get increased spell damage since most void skills are spells. Don't need to double up for the increases

[velvet tree]

Are there any plans for minimal character customisation? (like choosing a male acolyte or a black rogue)

devs are we doing something about the 2.15b gold cap or whoever is ahead in game have to sit with items sold window forever?

[rough patrol]

When will the option to skip story mode be activated?

[lost cairn]

Never

[verbal birch]

||it already exists with waypoint skips. plus you can simply walk to monoliths from end of time at any level anyways||

[crude plover]

It's -35% to -15% to your damage taken, the range is always gonna go from lower to higher value, -35 is less than -15 so that's how the range shows. The affix text says "xx% Less" which is the same thing as "-xx% taken"

[crude plover]

Armour and resistance are completely seperate.

let's take your example and say you have 70% DR from armour, and 75% all resistance and no other damage mitigating layers, and let's assume two scenarios:

1. You take 1000 physical damage:
   At area level 75+ enemies will have 75% resistance penetration, so you'd take
   1000 * (1 - 0.75(resistance) + 0.75(enemy penetration)) * (1 - 0.7 (armour)) = 300 damage taken

2. you take 1000 lightning damage (or any other damage type):
   1000 * (1- 0.75(resistance) + 0.75(enemy penetration)) * (1-0.7*0.7(armour is only 70% effective against damage types other than physical)) = 490 damage taken

[crude plover]

They've answered pretty much the exact same question before with a pretty firm no, they don't want people to keep retrying on an item until they hit what they want.

[crude plover]

They get added together

[crude plover]

Not sure what you mean by work, if you mean the more damage then no

[uneven seal]

Thanks

[crude plover]

Yes we're still missing 3 acts from the story which will be released eventually

[crude plover]

Sorry I don't really understand the question, but everything from cycle 1 will be moved to legacy when cycle 2 starts, so everyone will have an even playing field when cycle 2 starts, no one will have items from cycle 1 to sell or anything. (sorry didn't see that others already answered)

[crude plover]

Correct, the other thing you're referring to are chain casts.

[crude plover]

Most likely never, you can already go through the campaign very quickly using dungeon skip

not sure if thats necessarily true, it was previously said that by default skills inherit, not the other way around. would like to hear from a dev

it is true

shadow daggers and spark charges are considered main skills, they just don't have trees

same goes for something like fire aura

[tired venture]

Not a question, just a comment. To the person that designed the smoldering lithrac's combination of exploding for 20k+ damage while causing lag and freezing the screen, I hope you someday recover from whatever traumatic experience inspired such misery.

My condolences.

[crude plover]

They trigger the explosion every time they're hit with no cooldown, so if you're doing tons of small hits then yeah it'll be rough lol

[tired venture]

That makes sense. I hit them a bunch, it creates a huge number of explosion graphical effects, those cause the lag and lock me in place while the explosion timers run out, explode, and then the lag goes away. Fun times.

[sonic shard]

You sure ? You would think you that 35% less damage taken would be better then 15% less damage taken.

Are you saying it's not ?

[crude plover]

It is, I'm saying the literal number -35 is lower than the number -15, which is why it's -35 to -15

The range doesn't go from best to worst, it goes from lowest to highest

[tulip ruin]

It seems there are some features missing between online/offline play, but I'm not sure if these are going to stay as is, or we can expect changes later.
1, In offline we have new item indicator highlight in the inventory until we mouse over them once, in online we do not have that.
2, In offline we cannot access leaderboards. I get that we can't compete on the leaderboards, but I think we should be able to view it at least.
3, In offline we have no access to the cashshop. Buying cosmetics should be available for offline too imo.

Just for clarification. When I say offline, I mean starting the game up with internet access intact, and choosing offline mode. Not that we have no internet access, or starting the game without internet access via steam.

[manic crown]

In the first point it also happens for online play and I believe it's a bug.
For the 3rd point I think Mike said something about it before

[autumn hazel]

I'm trying to understand some things about how the Abyssal Echoes upgrade Potent Corruption (initial burst now hits and deals spell damage) works, but they're kind of hard for me to test and figure out myself. For clarity, when I say "chained cast" I'm meaning the repeats ("echoes") that are inherent to the skill, not the VK passive.

• Does it cause the chained casts to hit too?
• If the initial cast overlaps with chained casts (or chained casts with each other), will an enemy be hit more than once?

[gilded current]

This just came up with some friends that I'm getting into the game... Why don't we have pants? And since we don't have pants... What is our belt holding up?

[maiden brook]

Wanting clarification on the 1lp unique item prophecies. Do they give a set 1lp, guarantee 1lp then roll 2,3,4 as normal, or do they have a minimum 1lp like julra uniques (aka, if lp==0 after lp roll then lp=1)?

[placid plinth]

It's a very long story but essentially, we didn't want too many different equipment slots and we figured that pants didn't have a unique thematic niche and could be easily combined with chest. Which you'll notice is called body armor so it covers shoulders, chest and pant slots if we are looking at things like wow for reference.

[placid plinth]

It's like julra, 1st LP guaranteed. They can have more. (It doesn't work like how you put though, it gives it 1LP and then rolls for 2)

[rapid yacht]

so overall, we should see an improvement in the odds of getting more than 1lp because we get past the roll for the first LP for free?

[placid plinth]

Yes

Especially with higher LPL uniques, it isn't a big difference in higher LP values though.

[maiden brook]

My experience with temp sanctum drops is MUCH more indicative of the way i've presented it (or at least the equivalent, where subsequent lp chance is not impacted by the guaranteed lp)

If they did skip the 1lp roll then they'd be relatively common at 2lp, but i've done hundreds of t4 sanctum runs with only one or two 2lp julra drops

The community considers them very rare at 2lp as well, so it's not just me being unlucky

LEtools also shows subsequent lp's not being impacted by the guaranteed LP

[placid plinth]

I might be wrong about julra but the prophecy works as I've put above.

The player data is not statistically relevant but I understand why it feels like it is.

The data on last epoch tools uses a single formula for every unique and doesn't look at the guaranteed chance.

[rapid yacht]

Speaking of Last Epoch Tools, how does it manage to get access to the api to import character data? Is that due to a partnership with EHG? Is it possible for other tool creators to get access to this API?

[placid plinth]

They have access to the API beta. It's with the understanding that it's not quite ready yet. There are a few sites with access now. I expect it will open up.

[maiden brook]

I feel like player data is statistically significant when the odds for lp2 of the higher used of the two common drops comparing one way to the other is is over 5x larger

[silent apex]

similar to this subject.... the "uniques are twice as likely to hae legendary potential" CoF?
does that mean they are twice as likely to have LP2 as well?

[gilded current]

No no not looking at anything as a reference, and honestly not even really asking this in a fully "serious" type way. But if you look at most of the "Body Armor" pictures, it's all just chest pieces, never depicting pants, and sometimes not even shoulders... So... hence the funny question of... What's our belt holding up? Or do we just wear it strapped across our chests like Rambo?

Awesome that you actually took the time to reply, but it's late, and the weekend, Thank you so much for this game, you spoil us by replying so quickly!

[frosty lagoon]

the belt isn't holding our pants its only there for potions of course!

[dense frost]

What is the reason behind group play not giving everyone participating on a boss kill with sufficient stability a gaze as rewards?
It feels bad to lose stability, get blessing and boss specific loot but not gaining gazes for corruption increase, essentially leading to "wasted time" faming stability / progress without gaining any.

Also same applies to shades attempts to consume gazes to gain corruption?

[maiden brook]

yes. the chance for any degree of LP is doubled

Are there plans to rework idols? Compared to any other equipment, they are so much more tedious to obtain with the desired values. I really do like the idols, but having an option to refine them or to reforge them, just as other equipment, would be really awesome. Tiers on the affixes would be appreciated, but I guess that can be hard to balance.
Even with the increased Large Idol Drop Blessing and focussing on Large Idol Prophecies, I never once received the Affix combination I'm looking for, not to mention that a drop could be very bad and I actually desire 4 of them for my build. Farming them is a nightmare.

[exotic mauve]

I think I heard mike say something about crafting idols next cycle. Can't remember where I heard it though

[frail sentinel]

It's a joke - while trying to fix a bug unrelated to Falconer OR Gathering Fury, the team discovered that on the patch build, if you used the Falconer Skill while having Gathering Fury equipped you would lose all HP. We found this a little funny internally and thought we'd share it.

[frail sentinel]

I finally got my computer-crashing sorted. i think. limited my FPS to 100, and kept an eye on my memory useage while playing. Booted the game when my overall memory useage exceeded 50% and i havnt had a crash since. Not the ideal way of playing but it seem to work.

[whole trail]

how much memory have ?

[placid plinth]

Yup, but it was the opposite of what you're probably hoping for.

We aren't making a new idol system next cycle.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if you're guessing that or not but if you are, you'd be wrong.

[placid plinth]

There are no major overarching idol system changes coming next patch.

[flint bloom]

has the "lost memory" system scrapped, or is it being reworked? or is it kinda started in the personal items in the campaign?

[placid plinth]

It was scrapped many years ago. It had very different goals to the personal items.

[jade raft]

Hey Mike; I was toying w/ Spellblade this weekend again after playing RM/Sorc for several hundred hours this cycle. My first 200 hours was playing it prior to 1.0 launch and I can't help but be bummed out about a few things w/ how very limited spellblade plays (defensively, build diversity, etc.) For instance, spellblade's ward gen is on the low side comparative to it's RM brethren, where it's defensive layers are rather limited and even takes 9% MORE damage to dual-wield which is part of the class fantasy.

Any plans for updates come Cycle 2 to make spellblade feel better? lol.

[crude plover]

You're in for a long ride friend

[jade raft]

Ik ik. It's at least worth asking Cy. LOL

[placid plinth]

we didn't really give a the little details on what lost memories was going to be but we might bring similar stuff back at some point.

[placid plinth]

I don't have any details on upcoming potential balance changes. Like, generic answer, we do want to balance the game better.

[clear galleon]

bump because no answer

[placid plinth]

It activates your acid flask ability for you and uses all of your effects and modifiers that don't specifically say "directly cast thrown".

[verbal birch]

I thought 3rd party auction sites were prohibido, ones that display live bazaar content i mean

[placid plinth]

I don't see how we can stop people from looking at the game and posting about it online. (not that we want to)

[stuck root]

I would like some more deep knowledge about this line from patchnotes, does it scale above 600c? "Average legendary potential and weaver’s will now also scale up slightly with corruption. For example, Uniques have around a 5% higher chance for 1+ LP at 100 corruption, 10% at 300 corruption, and 14% at 600 corruption."

[placid plinth]

Yes, it has a smooth curve function which defines the rate at any corruption value. The values listed are examples to give a general idea of the scale on which it is affected at a few points.

[flat rain]

The more corruptions the bigger the value, yeah ?

[clear galleon]

The cooldown of abilities is rounded to the nearest tenth on tooltips, is this also true internally?
An important use case is stacking cooldown reduction for Dancing Strikes which has stark CDR breakpoints because the cooldown is 0.7s by default.

[warped mesa]

Sweet and short question, are there any plans to add a /played command to the game? 🍬

[placid plinth]

it's rounded to the nearest frame (server tick in online) in practice

[placid plinth]

yes but it sadly didn't "just work" with our initial setup

[flat rain]

I dont know if this was asked b4 but i have 2 questions: Is there any plans to add more "support" archetypes to the game more than the paladin? and Is there any plans to share the corruption scale with your teammates? Ty in advance 😄

[placid plinth]

We don't consider paladin a support archetype specifically but it does have the most support tools. We will continue to add support tools to the game. I've got a support lock that's a ton of fun to play.

oh and the 2nd question: kinda, we're working on the system still

[dense ocean]

I am trying to calculate a rough damage output number to compare a attack speed build vs a crit build using the same skill. How would i factor in attack speed to the damage output? Weapons have a base attack rate of 1.16, skill has a base speed of 1.375 per second, and there is the increased melee attack speed percentage

[uneven seal]

Does corruption scale not get shared with teammates via drop rate or anything?

[placid plinth]

attack speed on weapons is literally a reworded more attack speed stat.

That weapon has the stat 16% more attack speed built into it.

[placid plinth]

correct, it does not

[stuck root]

What @flat rain want to lift is if you play with a friend to 1000 corruption, you still have 100c when going back to solo.
Edit: I would love a popup after orobyss is killed that let you choose to get a portion of the corruption your partymember got added to your own corruption, unless it exceeds your partymembers corruption.

[dense ocean]

how does the skill base speed play into the weapon base speed? is that another more modifier? so a 16% for the weapon & a 37.5% for the skill? Does dual wield have any effect on this as well?

[placid plinth]

the ability attacks at 1.375 attacks per second
16% more attack speed means that you get 1.595 attacks per second.
dual wielding averages the attack speed of both weapons and applies it as 1 more attack speed multiplier

[crude plover]

Could you entertain a question of if this function lands at around 11.6% for 400 corruption? This is a literal guess from plotting the points you guys gave and brute forcing a function to fit them

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't know

[crude plover]

damn, worth a try 😛

[placid plinth]

looking at those numbers, it's probably a pretty good guess
(I don't know what it is and I haven't seen the graph but that one you deleted is what I expect it to look like)

[stuck root]

Wish you guessed a number at 2k instead so we could get a hint around higher levels 😄

[placid plinth]

[primal adder]

Hey Mike. Will we keep the tabs when new cycle launches? Sorry if this has been clarified before

[placid plinth]

I'd have to check the tape to see if I actually said buff. We're trying to make the melee gameplay flow better and specifically in the new boss fights, being ranged won't be as big of a boon as previous boss fights. I don't have any details that we're ready to share just yet.

[strange dawn]

do runes of Ascendance have a lower % of rolling LP?

[placid plinth]

Since stash tabs are an in game resource purchased thing, having them carry over from cycle to cycle doesn't make sense as one of the main reasons to do a cycle is to give everyone the chance to start on the same playing field. While having stash tabs doesn't directly affect your character power, it does mean that you are able to spend that gold on something else and gain other advantages faster.

[placid plinth]

no

[opaque falcon]

Kind-of hard to find a place or to open a in game ticket when the game bugs like this and the only option is to log back to character selection and lose proof of bug?

[placid plinth]

If you have a question about how something works in game, I'm happy to answer it.

[mild rivet]

coming back on this: while the answer is technically correct, as far as my memory goes rune of ascendance rolls a check that determines whether it can roll LP at all, before then rolling said LP. Is this still the case or was it changed and I missed it somewhere?

[opaque falcon]

good question!

when are we able to expect deeper crafting? like forging your weapon and armor to get the stats you want to have and get decent mod cap to build a weapon of our liking

[verbal birch]

the crafting system in this game is already one of the most liberal in the entire genre, you can realistically get "perfect" (t20) rares in days of playing at endgame. if you mean t22+ exalts or LP3+ levels of power, those are meant to be a long term chase. the forge is already really close to being an item editor outside of those cases lol

[placid plinth]

I have no memory of that, the 1st LP roll is kinda that in a way but that's for everything.

[placid plinth]

We have no plans to add a way to make a base weapon from component materials that you salvage. Since base weapons have static implicits, a player created base item would be identical to an white item that you pick up. Our current crafting system already allows you to build your intended affixes as you want. We do plan to expand crafting possibilities with more runes, glyphs and end game systems.

[opaque falcon]

hold on....

[gentle rock]

Why not adding factions tags to loot filter?

[kindred zealot]

What goes into deciding the secondary stat on +Level to Skill affixes?

e.g. what led to +Level to Ballista giving Ballista Attack Speed instead of +%Minion Damage, or Levels to Shuriken giving Throwing Damage whereas Levels to Acid Flask gives Throwing Atk Speed

[placid plinth]

I'm curious what the use case for having it in your loot filter would be. Why do you want it? I can't see a good reason at all.

[placid plinth]

It's usually something that should be generically useful as a little extra. The main part of the affix should be the +levels. We added them because we needed something to scale with tiers because having +7 to a skill on an exalted that could be attached to a unique which had another few +skills would get too nutty.

[opaque falcon]

This was white, yellow because crafts, but the void dmg is a useless stat. Hence why hand crafting a weapon with static limitations bur stats we choose , would be nice. also this is on a lich

[rapid yacht]

spell void damage is not a useless stat

[gentle rock]

CoF upgraded rune of ascendence at level 2. So it makes sense to only use rune of ascendance on faction items

[verbal birch]

I'd like it if only for Rune of Ascendance on CoF items

[placid plinth]

Yea, I hadn't thought of that situation. I think the argument has a bit of a catch22 though, if you're finding enough of the item to where you need to know if it's the right type or not then you're probably outpacing your rune of ascendance acquisition pretty hard anyways. If you're not finding that many in general then you aren't having to check that many either.

It's a good thing to put in #1210282176680169562 at the least.

[worthy stump]

Void damage is extremely usefull for some builds

[placid plinth]

conversations to #💬┃general please

[gentle rock]

I have 100+ runes and have to check all amulets rare and exalted. In the endgame, stuff turns out different. I dont like to see amulets that are not CoF cause they are useless, just like why filters exist, to filter out trash
If it's a worthless idea Im not gonna waste time posting it in suggestions

[placid plinth]

We've never intended a 100% loot filter. We don't want to completely remove the player evaluation step from the equation. I've lost several debates in trying to get more stuff added to the loot filter and I would be shocked if I could get this one over the line.

Still, the best way to try is to add it to #1210282176680169562

It's not hopeless, something I've been advocating for going into the loot filter for a long time has a glimmer of hope now. So it's not set in stone.

same place
2. we have never released this information (afaik)

[worthy stump]

Is there a reason i cant call 2 characters the same name in offline mode since the save files dont even use the names

[placid plinth]

probably a combination of a hold over from how we used to save characters and how the ladder used to work.

[timid fjord]

Do you happen to know the spriggan companions passive healing aura radius? Just for fun I've been trying to outrun it but so far haven't been able to do it. So now I'm wondering if it is even an actual aura

[worthy stump]

Think theres any chance for that to be changed in offline mode? For the suggestion what category would it go under

Also any plans there will be any ingame statistics you can look at like numbers died. Death to x. Enemies killed etc

[placid plinth]

it is an actual area, it's pretty easy to test in multiplayer but it's about the width of the screen on a 16x9

[placid plinth]

We have no plans to change it but you can leave a #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider it.

We have considered in game statistics like that and there are a few that we could probably do. None are actually planned as far as I know.

[verbal birch]

I am a big proponent of that sort of stats aggregation, it can give players not only insight into their characters, but of their own playstyles as well

[prisma smelt]

To any devs able to answer, Are any classes getting reworked in any way to balance out the diversity?

Will there be future implementation to gear our characters easier later in higher level such as 60-70+?

[placid plinth]

We will continue to make balance changes every major patch. Specific class reworks are very heavy undertakings and while I can see why someone might think that shaman or forge guard need a rework. I think that their core systems are very solid and the main reason people don't like them is just that their numbers aren't big enough. I think a rework would be a waste of dev time.

This might just be a terminology thing though, rework to me implies replacing most of the skills from scratch.

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

[prisma smelt]

So it would be more likely for buff/nerfs to happen when the next cycle would kick in?

[placid plinth]

yes, more significant changes happen with major patches and cycle rollovers.

@strange dawn I was wrong, cyborg has the links above. Runes do have lower LP chance.

[limpid summit]

How do you guys as devs feel about super rare and strong items that could basically go in any build? Like headhunter/mageblood type items from poe.

[placid plinth]

check out what we did to Bastion of Honor. It's still good with block focused builds but it no longer is good in every build that doesn't desperately need something else in that slot.

[strange dawn]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRg7CCcAcQ from the changes, looks like it was nerfed to the ground. edit: considering that builds that use shields are already all underperforming, i would've expected the team to scale the other uniques up, instead of nerfing the only one performing good

[fossil dune]

It's still very strong for builds that can stack strength, but it used to be THE shield that everyone used (it was a little problematic admittedly)

[timid fjord]

Is reflect damage, both flat and %, dealt only when enemy hits me or does it also reflect ticks from damage over time whether that is ailment or ground dot area?

[crude plover]

hits only

[alpine nacelle]

would you consider adding search functionality to the merchants guild to sort by roll ranges for affixes? especially for something like idols where every affix is of the same tier, roll quality is quite important in determining the value of an idol. when I was trying to buy idols for my build I found myself going through many pages of idols with the same affixes to find ones with good rolls, which was frustrating. I feel as though the cost of getting items from the merchants guild should be in resources rather than time

[crude plover]

#💬┃general message

[placid plinth]

the problem with Bastion was that non-shield builds were using it as a default item. Unless you had some other build defining item that had to go in that slot, this is what you picked. and even then, you tried to find a way to use it anyways. Buffing other shields does not address this issue.

[river quest]

When does this cycle end?

Hello, I have a question regarding Crest of Unity. I am using this for the +6 to elemental nova and the other nice stats it has for this skill. However, my build is lightning damage focused. How does this helmet affect the damage if the nova is always all 3 elements in this case? Thanks!

[rapid yacht]

Your damage with nova will be split in thirds, one third for each element. If you have increased lightning damage, it will only apply with 1/3rd effectiveness. If you would like to discuss this further, please come to #🧙┃mage

[dapper surge]

Are there any plans for addressing damage over time from mobs. There doesn't seem to be enough ways to mitigate this damage type?

[gaunt siren]

I think for now best way is through idols. I have seen idols that have secondary affixes "Take less damage overtime"

[dapper surge]

Thats not for all classes

[placid plinth]

Incoming dot damage is designed with this in mind so if we did add more, we would also probably buff the damage they do.

We have recently added the experimental affix which gives armor applies to dots that you can use.

[dapper surge]

It's the only thing that kills me and feels very high in corruption tbh and I have high health and good gear. Looks like that experimental affix is something I'll have to slot in. It rolls on.. gloves, only?

Cool, let's see. Oh it's like % of a %. Tier 5 is like 16-18% of your armor, say I have 60%. So I'm getting 10.8% less damage over time?

[placid plinth]

don't forget armor applies at reduced rate for non-physical damage

but yea, that math is right

[dapper surge]

What you're saying is it's something, but not a lot, vs dots. Because dots are kind of crazy anyways if you're built on health based defense. And my armor is pretty high, at 60. And my health is 3500+. So I might just switch to ward instead of chasing a small % damage reduction on a dot. I've pushed this as far as I can and the mitigation isn't there really

[slender mica]

Hi Devs,

Asking again as I didn't get clarity the last time.

Question: Are COF prophecies influenced by the "x% increased item rarity" based on the corruption level?

Ex - If I had a prophecy for unique boots, will the LP on it be higher in 2000 corruption vs 100 corruption?

[crude plover]

Ward is not inherently better against dots, in some cases its actually worse since outside of busted sources of generation you'll generally have less recovery on ward based builds.

Sorry this channel is specifically not for support.

[stark plume]

What is the exact reason of not being able to sell slammed items when u bought the unique/exalted from the bazar like how should people make actually good legendarys that are sellable by dropping and flipping them? Like no wonder why most if not all legendarys in the mg are simply bad also i think it would be simply better to be able to sell them after the slam cause rn good items are just dissappering after bought and i have a lp3 laddle good if not perfect slams at least by affixes and i dont even use it since i have a lp4 better one but others still need it so why wouldnt i be allowed to list it again?

[exotic mauve]

As you say most classes or subclasses are solid, but they lack in power compared to new ones because passives are underpowered and skilltrees are suboptimal. Older classes would come a long way with a little reshuffling of skill nodes. Many old skills are much weaker because you have to waste points unlike newer skills which have more efficient paths and have stronger skillnodes.

I want to know when the new cycle starts because I'm not sure if I should create a new character or wait for the next cycle.

[hidden kraken]

you can do that by reading back, every cycle is 3-4 months long, no concrete time

I know, I just wanted to deliver my concern

[royal garnet]

Never too late to start (especially as CoF), plenty to learn to be ready to go for the next cycle (2-3 months from now still)

[dusk basin]

I know there is no way to see this in game as per Mike’s response, but is this something that will come to the game in a future update or is this something that isn’t going to happen?

[proper mortar]

Is there any official statement on what happens to current prophecies and favor when the current season ends?
Will both remain intact on that char or is it better to spend all of it and complete as many prophecies as possible so nothing is lost?

[crude plover]

They haven't made a statement on that but prophecies are something that I wouldn't be surprised if they got lost.

[rapid yacht]

The one statement I recall about favor is that they intend for you to get the better of your rank. If you're rank 3 on legacy and rank 7 on cycle, when the season ends, you can expect Legacy to become rank 7.

[crude plover]

Favour != reputation / rank

[grim tinsel]

hey, just a quick (and possibly weird) question:

Is there a reason why some items have slightly different backgrounds in the stash or inventory than others? I don't mean Legendary vs Unique, I mean two of the exact same item. Here's a screenshot to demonstrate:

[placid plinth]

is one of them a fresh pickup?

[grim tinsel]

In that particular case, yes. But I've seen other situations where it isn't. Here's an example (all of these are old):

[placid plinth]

no idea

[rapid phoenix]

Any pefomance fix planned to upcoming update?

Any plans on adding additional gear/enhancement slots or other powerup system like gems/additional skill trees etc.?

[crude plover]

for a gem socket system #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

They do plan on expanding crafting, and items as a whole as the game progresses from what they've said on the dev streams and here on discord but nothing has been announced.

How does endless arena scale in comparison to corruption? I feel like i can crush 400+ corruption but around 190 arena it just seems incredibly higher difficulty.

[arctic wadi]

When slamming an item, we'll use an LP3 and a T7, T5, T5, T5 exalted for the example. 3 slots will be filled with 3 of the 4 affixes from exalted. Does it roll slot 1 and each affix has a 25% chance to fill it, then slot 2 is rolled at a 33% chance, etc. Or does it roll all 3 slots at once and choose 3 of the 4 each at 25%?

[crude plover]

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

[crude plover]

It doesn't really matter as long as it's not weighed, since at the end of the day you'll have 4 choose 3 combinations, as in, who cares if it picked affixes in the order:
3, 1, 2,
or
2, 1, 3,
even if it did it one at a time and picked the next choice from what's left over you're still only caring about combinations, not permutations.

And it's not weighted. If you just want to know from a behind the scenes standpoint, I obviously don't know but i highly, highly suspect it does them one at a time, first doing a 1/4 and then 1/3 and lastly 1/2.

[arctic wadi]

Thanks for the answer, truth be told I'm just salty because Ive had that scenario twice now and resulted in only the T7 not coming over which feels bad LOL.....but I'm still farmin 😛

Is shaman gonna get his 5th skill in 1.1 version?

[onyx hill]

curious if there are any plans to add an after action review/stats screen at end of echos, bosses, dungeons, etc so we can get better idea of breakdown of our dmg, healing,etc? Even better a combat log then I can write my own tool to give me the info

[mortal basin]

Will adaptive damage reduction be removed at some point?

[placid plinth]

We are replacing adaptive Boss DR with a different system.

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

nope

[wispy badge]

what is adaptive boss dr?

[placid plinth]

As you deal damage to a boss it gets damage reduction.
As time goes on, that boss loses damage reduction.

The boss defenses adapt to how fast you're killing it.

Most people upon learning about this wonder if there is an optimal strategy to kill bosses that might include intentionally slowing DPS at some point. There isn't.

Optimal strategy: kill the boss.

is melee gonna get love in 1.1?

Hello Devs I have 1 question

Question is : I used the experimental item "2.5 second of traversal skill cooldown recovered on potion use", now I have 2.3 second cooldown of the traversal skill which is teleport, but after using the pot the skill still has a split second cooldown, I thought after using the pot, the traversal skill will reset and it can be used straight away, is that a bug? or a system like that? thanks for respond
