Yeah, this is the type of 'gameplay' I was saying feels more like a bug. Prebuffing to cast a spell is normal behavior for these kinds of games.

This is the version of ward? When everything supports it, it's too hard to go above 500 corruption with my char forge guard.

On the Spellblades Firebrand skill, the Fulmination and Ardent Blessing nodes

Ardent Blessing says it no longer makes Firebrand scale with attack speed, but says it still gain attack speed from the Fulmination node. What does this mean?

Does this mean that the ONLY attack speed modifers it can get are from the Fulmination node?

What's even funny, as more items I collect (I'm already at 5000 test crafts) the "lucky craft" chance goes towards a 4 / 8 chance while the critical success seems to tend towards 1 / 8. :3
I only upgrade T4 affixes to T5 affixes (1 - 24 FP cost) while having one additional T4 or lower affix on the item to get a target for the crit.
So yes, the lower FP rolls are heavily favoured during the crafting.

[This might very likely go against the vision of the devs]
Are there any plans for a way to reduce the level of existing characters?

I asked this question specifically because it would be nice if next cycle, players that prefer to play in legacy for whatever reason could delevel their existing character to effectively "skip leveling".

I feel with some internal testing and considerations and ehg's good track record of implementing revolutionary QOLs, this can become another solution to a big pain point of (a subset of) players. And will paradoxically increase cycle retention

Greetings, I would like to know if I am allowed to use Autohotkey to create a script that basically presses the E and R keys one after another to use with Teleport -> Meteor. That's all the script does.

Is that allowed or against TOS?

# rich falcon i haven’t done it since diablo 3, but i think the way it worked back then was: ...

yep, i've used that trick on a paladin, but having it done on a teleport/traversal skill would be quite chaotic so not really a fix here.

my problem is that when i press E and R in quick succession, often times the R key does nothing, but my build relies on that to regain mana so it becomes ultra annoying, you can check the reddit thread if you want to see more details.

people in that thread told me this is because it's happening mid-animation, but i tested that and i don't think it's the case, the R (meteor) is just getting queued after teleport - https://streamable.com/mx5mcf (pay close attention to the skill bar)

btw, im not even 100% sure the ahk script actually fixes the issue, it just seemed better, but i only tested for 5 min cause i didn't know if it's allowed

How much corruption is under the same difficulty with T4 Julra (on the rate of increasing enemy's health and damage)?

🤔 In my impression the number is 400 so I want to ask Mike to confirm

hah?... 🤔 80% increase enemy's damage and health is the max value under 100 corruption so the real value suppose to be lower than corruption so you must can't get the range if 300 corruption you have only

crude plover
eternal zinc
#

Base on the max modifier in both of floors, the max value will
For damage, 80%+110%+140%=330%.
For health, 80%+100%+140%=320%.
The value close to this set the most is the one under 340 corruption.

Ok so if the build can kill a boss of a timeline under 340 corruption or more under 2 mins then this build is solid 🫡 (thanks for the scaling graph you provided)

To be more accurate, 340-350 corruption.

Okay - LOL - Serious question - Phantom Grip (The Ring) is primarily designed for Forged Weapons. It provides "Minion Critical Strike Chance" flat for them. So that you can get them to 74-100% critical strike chance.

All well and good. Here's the rub....there's no way to get "Critical Strike Multiplier" on Sentinel....for them....so it's completely and utterly useless. (Outside of Death Rattle, but you need Logi's to get to Crit Cap so that's out of the question).

Why not make the passives in Forgeguard Passive Tree for Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Multiplier shared with Minions? Or Ironbound in the Forge Strike Passive Tree also share with Forged Weapons?

Or make Affix Shards for Minion Critical Strike Multiplier work outside of just Primalist? ......

I noticed while playing the game that the druid class has the ability to change forms and some of the skills allow you to swap. As an example, I use the Spriggon form and one of the upgrades is when you use the thorn shield skill that it will change you into the wearbear instead of human but it doesn't seem to be working. I have also tried the same from the bear form to see if it will swap to the spriggon form but it doesn't. Has anyone gotten that to work as its intended? trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

I mean at best you use an Odachi for 330% multi but you lose a ton of flat melee damage for it. Or you use two Naal's Tooths and lose a ton of flat for 246% multi. And mind you - you need two 2LP Naal's Tooth's that both slam Melee Flat Crit and Crit Multi. Which is disgustingly rare. You also lose Melee Attack Speed on the weapon as well to get 200% multi. So you really don't get much for the sacrifice.

The point is that there's no outside source of Melee Critical Strike Multiplier for them - though there's plenty of resources "they could" get it from that don't give shared multi.

So the recent change to corruption so that it is almost-but-not-quite shared between monoliths I am of two minds on. The min-maxy, "get to the end as quickly as possible" part of me likes it, because it means I only have to progress my corruption once and then my goal of beating each boss at corruption 300 is met, with much less time than before. It reduces grinding without reducing the challenge, etc.

However, it does have to my mind one significant downside - each monolith is now practically indistinguishable. Even before they were quite samey - if you showed me random footage of various echoes, I wouldn't even be able to tell if they were from the same monolith, let alone which one, with the only major difference being the boss at the end and which unique items dropped more often. Now, there isn't even a difficulty difference, as each mono will be pretty much equally as hard so switching from one to another is practically a nil effect. If this is a prelude to having global corruption (as some people have speculated it is for next cycle), this effect will become even more pronounced.

With this in mind: What, if any, plans are there to make each monolith feel more unique, in light of the corruption changes making them indistinguishable in almost every meaningful respect?

I've seen some build guides reference that Storm Crows' basic attack "lightning blast" (I'm pretty sure it's the same as the mage skill, at least that's how it looks on lastepochtools.com) scales with Intelligence, but my understanding is that that would be the Crows' Intelligence, and not the players', so there wouldn't be any benefit for stacking Int/using Cleaver solution, as far as increasing the crow's damage goes.
Could it be confirmed one way or the other if Storm Crows' basic attack benefits from the player's Int stat, and whether it does or not, if that's intentional? Thanks for any clarification.

I have a great question right here:

Why "Mana spent gained as <something> (ward, or max mana with Celestial Doom) only works on direct casts?

I know it's not a bug, but rather a design decision. So, why Static Orb sorc dumping 3k mana in 2 seconds and gaining 10k ward is "totally fine"? While at the same time, the prospect of Harbinger of Stars sorc dumping 1k mana in 5 seconds via procs and gaining 3k ward is a big fat "NOPE"?

crude plover
#

basically it's got the potential to be super, super strong

dense needle
unborn sky
# crude plover because you can dump and generate hundreds, maybe even close to a thousand mana ...

I was under the impression, that sustaining mana in Last Epoch is a far from a trivial matter in general for the most classes.

Yes, Sorc can dump 3k mana in 2 seconds. But if it takes ~10 seconds of standstill channel to get it back, then why would it matter how you spend it?

I'm not too aware of the other classes mana management mechanics (besides Acolyte, for whom it also sucks balls btw). But I'm pretty sure it's equally bad or worse.

And if it's much-much better, then why not just nerf THAT instead (and bring mana Regen in line for everyone), instead of nerfing the entire global stat for no reason?

Okay, Mana Strike is a god-awful skill to use on a ranged caster for all kinds of reasons, but that's not the point.

How does having or not having a Mana Strike ivalidates the argument about Static Orb?
(It's not a feedback, but rather I just legit don't understand the reasoning behind that)

How is dumping 3k mana in 3 seconds via direct casts is totally fine, but dumping 1000 in procs in 5 seconds is not?

#

(1) Any plans to include a detailed calculation for every skill dmg/stat/minion in-game? or training dummy improvements?
(2) Is it intended that Earthquake's 700% scales only with added melee damage while Aftershock's 200% scales with added damage? Or is it just a wording mismatch and functionally the same? What would be the reasoning behind this?
(3) If I change Earthquake's base damage to Lightning via Storm Rift node, I presume it would not scale spell damage at 700% efficiency? Why? Isn't that a huge detriment for choosing that tree?
(4) Is there a world where changes to base Earthquake damage type would be applied to Aftershock's damage type? Or would that go into op-territory? Considering Primalist is still undertuned.
(5) Any plans on moderating this ask-the-devs channel so only actual devs will answer questions? Seems like everyone like to throw their idea whenever they see unanswered items, while ask-the-community already exists for that purpose.

Favor/Exp topic again, coz im trying to get clear answer on this

  1. Why did you decide to cut bigger favor gains from higher corruption so radically, instead of, for example cutting the exp curve gain in half instead of capping it at 1000 corr basically.

from a gamer perspective, someone like me who loves the game and pushing my characters to the limit i feel punished for playing the game and discouraged.
it doesn't really make sense for me to push my gear, since i earn max. possible favor on relatively low corruption with mediocre gear

not only that, but to get as much favor as possible now, i am forced to play in unnatural and painful way as to reroll high density areas as fast as possible which isnt really fun. and playing monolith "normally" isnt generating enough favor to make it worth doing, in fact its terribly low.

(and you might argue what high or low corruption is here, let me just put some pov here. You basically can hit higher celling of favor gain per hour on 400-600 corruption which yes, i do consider low. Couple reasons why- pushing corruption especially now is super fast and easy, and you can for sure deal with it with not so good gear while still not being challenged.)

it totally doesn't make sense to punish me as an endgame player for wanting to go higher corruption and actually face a challenge by drastically lowering the favor, which gets worse due to clear speed in higher corr.

i really wish you guys had a better idea for endgame players rather than just pushing arena waves out of boredom (0 exp there btw) or going over low, same corruption everyday for 3 months getting better gear just for it to make no impact on gameplay. (i am very unhappy, i love LE, make me wanna grind again)

There seems to be some confusion about how the game generates the "(1 Legendary Potential)" rewards. On July 14th, you were asked about this and your answer made it seem like the game "adds 1 LP to the item now".

Q: Does the +1 LP prophecy (the expensive one) still works like it did in 1.0, aka it guarantees a 1LP unique? Or did it get changed and actually adds 1 LP to the item now?

A: It's the new way
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

On the 18th, you were asked again and gave the other option you were previously asked as the answer (that it ensures the first roll always succeeds, like in the 1.0 cycle).

Q: Does the prophecies that say (1 Legendary Potential) add 1 extra legendary potential to the item that drops or does it force a 1 LP item to drop? Because they cost quite a lot for a very low ammount of items

A: It makes it have 1 and then roll for more like normal. It basically just makes sure that the 1st roll succeeds.
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

Could you clarify how the system generates the "(1 Legendary Potential)" reward?

ashen valley
#

Aren't both the same? Saying it starts with 1LP and then if it rolls 1LP it gets 2LP total, or saying that it rolls for LP and then adds 1, so that if it rolled 1LP you get 2LP. Seems like both answers provide the same result. Bottom line is that it will have at least 1LP, with the chance of having more

feral nacelle
crude plover
# ashen valley Aren't both the same? Saying it starts with 1LP and then if it rolls 1LP it gets...

One option is that it rolls lp like normal, except 0lp gets converted to 1lp (guaranteeing 1lp). So let's say an item has:

40% chance to get 0lp,
30% for 1lp,
20% for 2lp,
7% for 3lp,
3% for 4lp.
This would make the 1lp chance 70% while leaving the rest the same.

The other is that it makes the 1lp roll guaranteed, which would raise the odds of 2,3 and 4 lp as well while the first option doesn't.

#

The way lp works is that it first rolls for 1lp, if it passes then the item gets 1lp, then it rolls for 2lp and so on, whatever roll it fails on is the lp the item gets, so increasing the odds of a roll also increases the odds of an item passing the later rolls. While converting an item from 0 to 1 after it failed the roll doesn't.

What I got from what he said, and using your numbers, is that you get:
40% chance for 1LP
30% chance for 2LP
20% chance for 3LP
10% chance for 4LP
Both of his explanations seem to point to this. But I can understand that the second answer might make you interpret it like 1LP is guaranteed and if it then rolls 1LP again you're stuck with 1LP and if it rolls 2LP it's 2LP, etc. Which, to be honest, is how I thought it worked. So let's wait for Mike for clarify it, I guess.

late comet
# ashen valley Aren't both the same? Saying it starts with 1LP and then if it rolls 1LP it gets...

No, they aren't the same. The old way is Julra's method. Game rolls for 1 LP. If the 1 LP roll succeeds, it rolls 2 LP, and so on until 4 LP is achieved or a roll fails. Since the item has at least 1 LP, the game doesn't overwrite the LP. If the 1 LP roll fails, the resulting item will have 0 LP then the game replaces that 0 LP with 1 LP. The chance for 2/3/4 LP doesn't change.

The second scenario has the game roll the LP roll(s) and when the roll is less than 4 (LP cap), add 1. Since 1 LP is added to the resulting roll, the chance for 1/2/3/4 LP is the 0/1/2/3 LP chance respectively.

If an enemy does single cast with multiple projectiles/areas of effect is the rng (specifically crit) the same for all of them?

Sure, almost everything is here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/witchfire
so, because it's not applied by any individual ability I don't think, it's really simple. Any increases that you have to fire, necrotic, elemental or dot damage affect this. Increases to fire damage only apply to the fire damage and increases to necrotic damage only apply to the necrotic damage.

It should be. They might not have UI for it though. They should be able to get it via mage casting flame ward on them. You might be able to give a manifest armor some too with some combination on gear. I feel like there might be a more obvious method that I'm just forgetting too.

This is a list of all places Fire Aura is referenced https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/fire_aura/sources and it's not there.

The Ring of Shields Immolation node doesn't actually reference any ability. https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/ring_of_shields/nodes

Yes. I personally don't see an issue with letting it apply to 0 FP items, considering that it's not a big power boost, being only appliable once and only with T1 affixes. But if I had to guess I'd say it's because the game is set in a way that 0FP simply counts as non-craftable and it's easier to let it stay that way rather than coding an exception for this. But hopefully Mike will clear it up when he can.

I guess it is because the crafting system at its core it's a gambling system. Before it used to actually brick items.
Running out of crafting potential now does not matter in some situations, but having free affixes may be going too far, it would loose some of its risk/reward theme/mechanic/balance

I'm trying to understand the full damage taken calculation with a few interactions:

Let's say I take 10,000 fire damage from a hit, have 0 armor and 75% fire resistance from a level 100 zone. I have 1000 health, 500 endurance threshold, 60% endurance, 1750 mana, and 90% damage dealt to mana before health.

My understanding:

First, damage reductions are taken into account - armor, resistance, less damage taken, etc. I have 0 in my example, so this does nothing.

Then, the damage is split to health and mana. This is 9000/5 = 1800 mana damage, which is more than I have: so this instead becomes 1750 mana damage, and 10,000-1750*5 = 1250 HP damage.

Then, this HP damage is applied in the ordinary way, 500 health damage before endurance threshold, and 750*0.4 = 300 damage after endurance threshold.

I survive the hit with 200 HP and 0 mana left. This suggests I could take 10,500 fire damage from a single hit that would kill me from full.

Anyone willing to verify or correct this?

both are only triggered when you inflict spirit plague. so if you are just holding it down, its likely just casting on the mob that already has it, which isnt going to give you multiple stacks of the buff. you can still spam it, just have to hit the button multiple times and aim at a new mob. could also prolly cast in an area.

but if you think its not working as intended, bug report it

# eternal zinc ? Three questions so I'm not sure which one your answer for

The second one, I thought I already answered the other 2.

What the scale between corruption and reputation/ corruption and favor? (For leveling up your rank by slaying enemies)
Reputation is gained by spending Favor. Favor is gained by earning xp. Corruption increases your xp gain. You can see your increased experience rate in your active modifiers section in your HUD.

What the scale between favor you'd spent and reputation you'd got? (For leveling up your rank by acquiring prophecies)
I think this is 2:1

Any connections between how much favor you'd spent on single prophecy and how much reputation you got from completing it? (For leveling up your rank by completing quests)
Linear so just do whichever ones you like best.

Guys, are there any plans to address the gold cap issue in the game?

Like, we all know that there was a duping exploit in the beginning of both season 1 and 2. Which is bad, but would not really be a huge issue, if not the gold cap. In other words, if some item "real value" is 1 Million, with gold dupe inflation it becomes 10 Million -- stuff costs more, but at the same time you're earning more gold too, by selling good items.

That is, unless the item "real value" is 1 Billion. And with inflation it should become 10 Billion -- but there's a price cap, so you can't really sell it for more than 1.5B.
More so, right now the maximum amount of gold that players can accumulate is limited by uint32. Which is slightly more than 2 4 Bil -- therefore, you can't even afford to trade it outside of the MG, since you're limited to 2 4 Bil anyways.

Therefore, my question is: if you absolutely should have the uint32 limit, then why not just simply divide all in-game gold acquisition and gold sinks (such as stash tabs and LA Vault) by 100-1000?

In the forums a situation arose where players are saying that they lose stability when they die to the mono boss, but I have tried this, both in 1.0 and 1.1, and I never lose stability. I tried dying in normal echo, quest echo, boss echo and even shade, I never lose stability. I tested this in normal monos and in 100c.
Is there some condition for the stability loss, like higher corruption or is there something wrong with my account (if there is, please don't fix it 😆 )?

# pine dome No, technically the only way to spend mana is with a direct cast

This so doesn't make any sense btw. Like why does it matter how did you spend mana?

I mean, I'm currently running a build that casually spends 600 mana per cast (Static Orb, naturally), then gets all of it back in 3 follow-up casts (Lightning Blast with a node in SO). And I get 2500 ward per such cast, and I can do that indefinitely.
Like... why not just allow the same stuff for procs? Especially considering that Meteor build is gonna get MUCH harder time getting mana back.

Oh.. wait, or that was an example that I asked? I didn't get that, initially, sorry.

But that's exactly what I was trying to point out. Static Orb burns mana super-fast even when it's casted directly. And it triggers "Mana spent gained as Ward". So you get 2500 ward per cast easily. Why is the similar thing not allowed for indirect casts? How is that ultimately different, I just don't get it??!

Question about the nemesis system's design: Was it considered having the nemesis system built in with risk of losing the items (banish) upon failing to kill the nemesis? if so, why did you all decide not to include that risk into the system? Could nemesis rewards be made more powerful if the risk of losing items were present, and could that lead to more exciting gameplay? Or are you guys happy with how it exists presently?

placid plinth
# fluid axle Question about the nemesis system's design: Was it considered having the nemesis...

I think there is a huge misconception about being happy with something and being content with it as the same thing. I am extremely happy with Nemesis, top to bottom. I will never be content with any of it though. Always room to improve upon it. Nemesis rewards are already really powerful. I'd probably be inclined to reduce the power if anything really. The system was designed to not let you lose items and the only time it does is in very niche cases when you kill it and then die to a dot afterwards. I don't think this case was actively considered pre-patch as it probably never happened to any of us pre-patch. That's probably a function of so many of us running cleansing in our builds. Speaking of which, we have given many sources of effects which players can add to their builds to prevent this from happening. I think it's good that there are problems for players to overcome and it requires problem solving to do that. Also, if you don't have that, you can also just recognize that you're getting quite close to this happening and just stop dps.

This may be a dumb idea, but I was thinking about this while talking with my friends about the gold dupe nonsense that people did. Why not make it so The merchant guild currency is Favor instead of gold?

As in I pay a small gold charge to list my item to be bought for favor instead of the current system. You can't dupe favor or exploit it in any way I can think of, and it makes it similar to CoF. It also makes lightless arbor gold sink more viable for MG. This feels like a much easier way to manage the MG economy without having to worry (as much) about game breaking exploits that flood the market with billions upon billions of gold.

placid plinth
# mellow carbon This may be a dumb idea, but I was thinking about this while talking with my fri...

One of the things that we have always held and one of the requirements that our community was very clear on when we started designing any sort of auction house/trade system was that the seller had to get 100% of the currency. (Personally I don't know if this is actually the best thing to do for the economy but I'm not exactly an economist.) This means that if the only thing favor is used for at all is to buy/sell items and it's generated by taking game actions with no other ways to use it, inflation will go even faster.

I think that people are generally undervaluing the vaults.

Also the exploit that happened this most recent time would have been the identical problem if it was favor instead of gold.

#

I also want to say that I feel like people are crazy dramatically underestimating how much gold we removed from the market.

mellow carbon
#

In general, outside of exploits obviously, I think this games softcore economy is really good due to having roughly twice as much item deletion and wider roll ranges for uniques when compared to other arpgs.

placid plinth
# mellow carbon I'm not underestimating anything, Just spitballing ways to prevent exploits in t...

I just don't really see what that changes. We're just back to the exact same thing but you acquire it passively a little differently but still broadly the same, by killing monsters.

Like, all favor is, is a resource and all gold is, is a resource. They are the same thing, just acquired by and spent on different things.

The exploits have not been due to system design mistakes. It's not really an issue that requires a design change I don't think.

mellow carbon
placid plinth
#

nope, same stuff

#

ok, I mean maybe from the standpoint of that favor interacts with fewer systems than gold so there are fewer opportunities for potential exploits to exist?

#

bit of a stretch though

mellow carbon
# placid plinth ok, I mean maybe from the standpoint of that favor interacts with fewer systems ...

That's basically it, like gold is a semi-physical thing that can drop on the ground and can be traded to players and stuff. Though this is me speaking from a fairly ignorant PoV due to not knowing anything about the exploits that have occurred other than the fact that they occurred in the first place.

I just assumed since favor is gained in a similar way as experience, it wasn't affected by whatever exploit method was being used.

Though I am curious about something else, I'm sure you've had plenty of people talk and give feedback on defenses and how dot is overtuned and all that stuff. Especially when compared to ward even post nerf. I was curious if there was any set in stone plan to address it.

Personally I don't think non-ward defenses are flawed inherently, I just think overall player HP/HP recovery is far too low in most cases, Especially in the case of recovery. I think sources of recovery is what really makes Ward so appealing, Dot is almost always a huge concern to any life character, yet most ward builds are almost impervious to it.

That and when compared to ward, other defenses require far too much investment to actually achieve the desired result. While Ward gets to invest in intelligence which is usually damage and also defense.

Is there anyway to auto cast a skill on controller like you can on m&kb with numpad, I know there’s a 3rd party program but I’m not risking that if it’s not allowed. 🚫

This is a tricky one. People really don't like it when you nerf things right in the heat of things. I think that generally non-ward defenses are probably the closest to expected values as far as maximum potential. I think that they probably suffer from access difficulty more than we would like.

The gap has been very dramatically reduced and it is still something that we are very interested in tuning.

I think it's really good that each have their own strengths. What is HP's strength right now? I'm not sure. It's not quite all there yet.

placid plinth
#

So, we haven't ever officially endorsed any method of doing this. The general guidelines are that having a third party program which depends on or reacts to the state of the game is not ok.

An auto hotkey script which just hits one button on repeat and does nothing else, doesn't violate that description above.

# placid plinth This is a tricky one. People really don't like it when you nerf things right in ...

This issue is largely access like you said, it simply takes way more investment to actually make non ward defenses shine.
The only change to non ward defenses i'd want to see is just making it easier to invest in them realistically.

Yes the gap has been reduced, we don't see 100k ward or whatever anymore, but when HP caps out at roughly 3-4k with about 2k per second recovery max, and ward triples or even quadruples it while also working with things like armor, evade, block, etc, it causes the gap to still be very pronounced.

Hp has no strength unfortunately lol. Ward is almost always superior in recovery and always superior in overall volume. When defensive layers simply act as a multiplier for effective HP, ward just being way higher and way easier to recover really pushes it over the edge, considering that almost every defensive layer also works with ward.

I think the largest issue other than investment is recovery. HP leech is given over 3 seconds and immediately stops when you have full life regardless of how much leech you had left. Where as ward gain on hit/ward per second/ward gain on mana spent have no cap and never stops giving it's benefit.

It's possible that someone could make an exception for something like that but "rules as written" that's super not ok.

The instant it does something different because something changes in the game, like a tooltip pops up, it's not ok.

I don't see a picture but if we just look at the rule for a sec, "depends on or reacts to the state of the game". Does it show different information based on different weapons equipped? That's it doing something different and reacting to the state of a game.

You can still contact support to get an official ruling from someone who would have the authority to ok it if it is ok.

(I really don't think they will though)

mellow carbon
# wanton axle i agree to a degree. i think endurance really is overlooked and undervalued *gen...

Endurance isn't undervalued, It just is directly unintuitive with HP, as threshold is almost always a flat amount which directly conflicts with building HP as they both share the same affix slots.

Getting health is also harder for much less overall amount. A max endurance life character will almost always have less EHP than a ward character with the other defenses being equal, where as the life character had to spend many more affix slots to achieve that result.

My lvl 62 warlock ward character has the same EHP as my lvl 87 shaman, both in hardcore. It isn't like my shaman is made of paper or anything either, the gap is just very significant, especially for some classes.

lich is the only exception, and that's by design as the primary defensive tool of the class removes all ward.

wanton axle

mellow carbon
# wanton axle yeah, i agree here. you need more investment and the % of getting good drops goe...

Exactly, It requires far more effort to achieve an overall inferior result when compared to a ward character, while also likely doing less dps due to having to spend way less affix slots.

A big thing some people try to argue is stuff like building more armor, evade, crit avoid, resist, etc, but I don't think they understand that ward characters can also build these layers lol, and to greater effect due to having more room in affixes.

The only thing non ward characters actually have is Endurance, which is also unintuitive with building the thing it's supposed to protect.

#

everyone can you take the discussions to another channel please

placid plinth
# wicked dirge item showcase im send for example.

So I don't have the authority to ok this if I thought it was ok.

All I can do is look at the rule with you and we can come up with what we think it probably is.

The rule is that it can't depend on or react to the state of the game. So, if it only ever displays exactly the text

[T7][50,2%]
[T3]{89%]
[T3][64,3]
[T1][14,5%]```
and never shows anything else ever then I could see an argument for it being ok.

However, I suspect that it doesn't just show that. It wouldn't be very useful if it didn't adapt to show you the details of that specific item.

So, it doesn't show anything if you aren't hovering over an item, so it only displays when a tooltip is up, so it depends on a tooltip being up. It then reacts to which item the tooltip is displaying and shows extra details for the tooltip.

So it depends on and reacts to the state of the game. And the primary thing you can't do is have it depend on or react to the state of the game.

# crimson depot This game really needs mana leech....

We are very careful not to add too much fast mana as we balance many of our abilities around mana specifically. We think it's a more interesting way to adjust the power of an ability through ability use frequency than using a cooldown so we use mana where we can. Mana leech kinda throws that out the window.

Thank you very much for the clarification, I will wait for a response from the support, I will hope for the addition of such a display of items to the game in the future!

I'm sorry, just quick question to understand the level these devs have

2 seasons in a row got REKT because of the inability of team first tracking then taking action for gold exploits. Skip the crap that you acted fast, exploit was working since day 0 which means you guys failed all season 1 to track it down and figure how it works.

2 seasons in a row population collapsed from the same exact bug while you had community SPAMMING you about it, still took you weeks

I'm asking you, is it hard for you to make GOLD leaderboard with frequent update intervals plus some side-goodies ( like gold per hour etc ) so you can track WHO and WHEN and HOW does what he does?

Hell, make it even public so community can track them for you.

Lastly are you aware that bots can produce 1b+ daily farming? ( each PC has about 8-10 windows so about 8-10b+)
Any measures against the botting is planned?
Or shall we forget MG for good

In my personal view, gold selling is the easiest thing to track, yet for 2 seasons you guys have failed, can you explain HOW and WHY?

The reply is almost always the same and if we reply to some, it creates an expectation that we reply to them all.

Just want to make clear, should I use mirror images as a Spellblade.
Cause I'm a melee. For some reason the images that teleport summons are all mages. They just use their magic abilities and don't go into melee fight like I do.
So the only way I can use them - is running through the mono to the target, making my mirror images taunt the mobs who persue me.

So it seems the images are ablosute useless in 95% the of boss fight, so they can't taunt while I'm in fight. Only if I'm changing the position.
Making the images wear melee weapon and be more like the clone of me will help, but not sure the devs want my game to be easier)

I wanted to farm a bit of "normal" timeline bosses to unlock the normal versions of blessings so that I can use them on my new alt characters, but I noticed that the Glyph of Envy siphons stability to the empowered version even if youre running the normal... Is that intended? I know the gameloop is designed in a way to basically have no reason to do normal monoliths once youre in the empowered ones, but in this fringe case of unlocking blessings for alts, being able to dump Envy Glyphs to speed it up would help tremendously.

# wise zealot I wanted to farm a bit of "normal" timeline bosses to unlock the normal versions...

Yeah it's intended because the requirements for stability under empowered timelines will more hard, so glyph of envy can boost up the progress but still promise it'll not too overpowered.

For example, 750 stability is required to access the abomination but 300 stability is enough under normal timeline, 120-165 stability per envy. You need 2 envy only to challenge the boss but 5-7 envy is needed for empowered timelines. The progress of normal timeline suppose to be fast so players can go to the next step quickly and don't need envy's help.

placid plinth
# magic belfry hi , my question is about legendary crafting -- what is the design philosophy he...

We have considered that yes. It's basically that we don't presume to know which mods you really want to get on the item and we try not to put extra bits like that in when it can be avoided. It is a difficult thing to reconcile the feeling of potential power that is lost when it doesn't grab the affix you were hoping for. Most of the time it is possible to at least set yourself up for a situation where the outcome options are at least good even if it misses.

having tiers 6 and 7 always going through can be useful and can might prevent a huge amount of frustration . as i think almost everone knows in advance which stats they want/need. and items with multiple lp will still not be perfect unless its an item with 4 t6 affixes which is probably not likely . but slamming a 2 lp helm from aberroth with a helm with t7 bis item 2 very good stats and 1 horrible one , and it fails (took 1 t5 and the bad t2 affix) can cause a lot of frustration . i'm glad at least you guys consider this

I think the frustration here is that with the current system quite often a failed 3LP ends up being worse than a successful 1LP, which ends up having a very anti-climactic / deflating "feel" for players after the rush of getting such a rare drop coupled with the sense of accomplishment following the immense effort that goes into crafting an exalt worthy of such an (often) rare drop.

Eg. if I am INT stacking, a 1LP body armor with "only" 24 INT added from a T7 is going to be much better than any 3 T5's of any other affix. Not that I'm saying it "should" be changed, but I can't think of a scenario where a player would ever not want the exalted affix, maybe unless there are multiple but that's a rare situation.

Mike, would you ramble a little bit about Melee vs Spell Builds?

Spells have built-in Flat Damage, but Melee skills largely have a base damage of 1. Take Sentinel as an example: Smite has 30 flat damage, with Added Damage Effectiveness of 150%. Rive has base damage of 2, with Added Damage Effectiveness of 100%.

This leads to Melee Builds always wanting more Prefixes on their weapons than are available. Flat Damage, Added Melee Crit, Attack Speed.... and that's not even getting to modifiers like Crit Multi and %Increase Damage, which often fall by the wayside on Melee Weapons because of the need for the first 3 affixes I listed.

Spell Builds have flat damage built in the skills, and are unable to build Flat Damage on their weapons (except niche cases like Flat Spell Dmg on a 1h Sword, or Lightning Flat on a Sceptre.)

I assume this difference is intentional. Could you talk a bit about what that difference is trying to achieve?

I think in general a lot of skills suffer from just flat out being awful, but I think it's a mix of early concepts not really being expanded on and the direction and growth of the game changing.

Also some skills were just never viable to my knowledge. I think there just needs to be a set expectation for how a skill should perform.

Should every skill be as strong as chronic fissure? Or should ever skill be closer to something like static orb or upheaval in terms of power?

I just did a "test" where I grabbed a bunch of +3% crit daggers with varying range rolls and tried them on one of my characters that has ~1000% increased crit chance and my crit chance didn't budge one bit, where I would have expected some random variance +/-5% or so.

placid plinth
# slow ivy Bumping this question for Mike about spells vs melee

I don't think it's super deep really. I'm probably going to leave something out by accident and if Holly wasn't so busy I'd ask her for more details. It starts with it being as simple as just variety being the spice of life. Gearing a character is like a puzzle and if spell and melee are different then you can have a new experience by just changing character types. Class identity is one of our design pillars after all. Part of it is also to convey a different fantasy. Weapons often have a bigger emphasis in your overall combat effectiveness from a raw damage standpoint on non-spell styles. Like a giant sword is going to hurt a lot more than a little dagger but a fireball is a fireball regardless of if it's cast from a staff or a wand. (Not a perfect example but I hope I'm making some sense.)

This is not to say that it sets us up for a perfect mechanical balance situation at all and there are some unintended quirks of the system that we try to balance. I think that the biggest issue is generally in the power curve. When in the character progression we see power spikes.

Would it be possible to get a definitive answer on the rounding discussion earlier? I haven't tested it recently but I know for a fact that some stats didn't round a few patches ago when I did test it, and I doubt that everything suddenly rounds now since stuff like mana cost is now shown more granularly.

Maybe the flat crit affix is special because from tiers 1 - 5 it can only have a single whole number outcome and as such is a niche case where you guys do round it? (As in a tier 2 flat crit affix always gives 2%)

"increased" is calculated as (1 + increased) multiplied by everything else. So unless you have 0 base damage somehow it'll work

#

And even at 0 damage it's technically working but you can't multiply something by 0 and not get 0 since it's the identity

#

As in let's say we have a skill that does 10 physical damage and are otherwise completely naked with no bonuses except the amulet. It'd go like this:

(Base + (added * added effectiveness)) * (1 + increased) * More1 * more2...

So in this example we'd have

(10 + 0) * (1 + 0) * 1.3 = 13

The xithara's is the 1.3

# pine chasm Oh, I realize now I didn't use very accurate wording there; where I was question...

I'm a bit late to this one but I wanted to add my context as I spent several hours testing this exact question on stream a few weeks ago.

TLDR; I generated a 2.5% crit prismatic gaze, and a 3.49% crit prismatic gaze in offline. Both showed as "3%" in game, then I got a bunch of increased crit to put me at the point where the 3.49% "should" put me at 105% or something crit, and the 2.5% would have put me at 95% or something crit.

The testing confirmed that in both cases the items did actually behave exactly as their display value indicates, not the internal rounded values. cc @crude plover

@crude plover while that testing methodology seems reasonable, I am a little bit weary about using the character sheet itself to confirm whether or not mechanics work a certain way, it's probably fine, but the crit test is more of a boolean true or false, it either works or it doesn't. I guess I just struggle to trust the char sheet as an absolute source of truth for how the game actually works

edit: I am more saying that (without seeing the game's code of course) I can't know that the character sheet numbers and what actually happens when I use an ability are exactly the same. Could the logic used to calculate the char sheet display values in the UI not match the logic used during damage calculations in combat? Maybe, maybe not, but I can't know that.

It very much used to be different than it is now. This was the most problematic on items like Hakar's and Aurelis that have +(1-2) levels to skills - it allowed you to dual wield two +2 items and end up with only +3 total. It seems like that is fixed now though, as well as all other stats with roll ranges.
Could be confirmed on dummies using high DOT damage (like locust swarm or rav aura) and items with the same visual range, but we can also wait for Mike to get the confirmation whenever he's able.

crude plover
#

There is a way to do that actually but it's super annoying, you'd need to wear a titanheart and self bleed yourself for enough damage to where a 0.1% difference in resist would matter

ember topaz
#

I rarely play DoT builds, but I am assuming that DoT ticks are excluded from the damage variance logic seen in hits?

crude plover

no variance

@crude plover @pine chasm here was the test actually https://www.youtube.com/live/oepV36_PBZo?si=pb0sc1enzLAaJdbd&t=13999 - I tested with a 3.50% prismatic (displayed as 4% in the UI) and a 3.49% prismatic (displayed as 3% in the UI) - the "4%" prismatic gaze me 101% crit on char sheet, and the "3%" prismatic gave me 90% crit on char sheet. If they were using the rounded value actual crit would be around 96% for both, however when testing the char sheet values were correct which indicates the rounded value is used

# eternal zinc so 75% capped cold resistance means it's 74.6% -74.9%, 75% uncapped void resista...

When the character sheet shows 75% (75%) that means you are in the interval (75, 75.5); if it only shows 75%, you are in the interval [74.5, 75] and will take very slightly increased damage unless you're exactly on the end point of 75%.
With the changes discussed, this kind of distinction should never happen anymore - you should always land exactly on 75% (so you won't see 75% (75%), but you won't take extra damage). That is, unless they (re)add a source of "increased elemental resistance" which could put you at a fractional final value.

crude plover
eternal zinc
#

😂 Remind of a question then...How about 75%? the resistance is 75%, nor 74.9% or 75.1%, what will be happened

crude plover

even if it doesn't have parentheses, i'm guessing they might only appear when you're above 75%

@crude plover found my test for that one too; 25% roll (2.5) rounded to 3, only 24% (2.49) rounded to 2 https://www.youtube.com/live/oepV36_PBZo?si=Ihh5AE12iw4p-ZNj&t=12962

I haven't worked with C# in a bit but it seems like the default rounding behavior is to nearest even (bankers) https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.round?view=net-8.0&redirectedfrom=MSDN#System_Math_Round_System_Decimal_System_Int32_ unless I am missing something it seems EHG would have explicitly specified a different rounding mode. Unless they used their own form of rounding with some logic using x * (10 * desired precision), then floor / ceiling, etc. then result / (10 * desired precision) or something like that. Maybe they went with consistency of roundup over the uniformity of toEven to avoid potential confusion

crude plover
#

Could have also just changed with the change

limpid dome
#

It was using Unity's MathF.Round() in the past which uses banker's rounding, not sure whether it uses it now. There was a change back in 1.0 (I think?) related to how stats are formatted for tooltips on items etc, but this was more of an internal logic update. I didn't bother to check whether rounding for rolled stats has changed, maybe it did. Please ping me when Mike or other dev replies, so I can update LE Tools logic accordingly.

limpid dome
#

Hm, I checked the code and it indeed has changed for the better in terms of using the logic for rounding in one place. But for instance for the crit chance stat the resulting value would be calculated via Mathf.RoundToInt(rolledValue * 100.0) / 100.0, so it's not rounded to int, but rather to two decimal places. So yeah, I'm not seeing how it fundamentally has changed, unless I'm missing something...

pine chasm
limpid dome
#

Oh, that makes sense actually :o

#

Yeah, so basically now all stat values are rounded to ints. I'll update the logic in LE Tools later today.

ember topaz
# limpid dome Yeah, so basically now all stat values are rounded to ints. I'll update the logi...

Strange, https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.RoundToInt.html seems like it would still do a round to even, but that conflicts with initial testing where 2.5 rounded to 3, maybe I'm just too tired for this tonight 😄

According to that it should be the following for a 25th percentile prismatic gaze (rolls 2% crit to 4% crit):

  1. 64 / 256 = 0.25 (percentile)
  2. 0.25 * 0.02 (the roll range) = 0.005
  3. 0.005 + 0.02 (min value) = 0.025
  4. 0.025 * 100 = 2.5
  5. Mathf.RoundToInt(2.5) = 2
  6. 2 / 100 = 0.02
  7. 0.02 displays in game as 2%

But instead it shows as 3%

I'd communicated with a indie game developer today on how should the game studio promote their works, my opinion is we can join in more game events or exhibits, provide game demo to increase the amount of wishlist on steam when this game not ready to be released.
But that developer don't agree with it, he thinks it'll spent too much resources and get nothing back because you must find accurate player groups from a big market and players who wiling to wishlist your game. Plus cost your time to contract with the official of the exhibits/cost money on adding hardware and the space is expensive, so it's not a deal worth to do.

PAX west is the game exhibits which I knew since 2023 and I guess LE had joined in it before?

How EHG think of the relationship between the return of game data/gameplay suggestion/wishlist amount and the cost of employers/hardware/space? Which attitude EHG keep on this topic?
(Chinese market is different with global market so I want to learn more on global market too)

# eternal zinc I'd communicated with a indie game developer today on how should the game studio...

That's a gigantic question and I can't really answer it properly. (Partially because I'm not really sure what you're asking)

The value of going to a convention is extremely difficult is gauge. They play double duty for us because we are fully remote so it's like a team building event at the same time.

Wishlists are very important, mostly just because Steam notifies them all when a sale happens. So they are like a free advertising bump for any sale you do.

There is generally no shortage of suggestions. (Except specific skill suggestions apparently because I went looking for several this week and some skills were bone dry).

The value of all these things changes as a game grows and figuring out what each game needs the most is probably one of the hardest part of overall game development.

I wish it worked that way, but none of the nodes which change stuff around when you can runebolt have any effect when abacus wand is equipped. Makes it nigh impossible to get the passive stacks regularly.

On my end the windowed mod and confining cursor, is not required anymore. That was only for dungeons and on my pc I don’t need to do that anymore. For FPS drops they were gathering specific echos/places that they were bad and it should have been sent to the team to investigate further (than what they already have done). That’s all I can tell you from experience and from general chat. What they’ve said is that they are always working on improvements but I don’t know any specifics.

Would it be possible for items like arrelius and Devotion to to get void based variants or would that make void smite builds to strong?

Not a single issue fixed.. for several years now. And good Lord, I just opened the Technical Support sub-forum, it is full of reports like it. It is so defeating and sad, most of my playtime consists of me logging on every now and then after a patch to see if something has changed, and to my disappointment it never does.

I appreciate your frustration. There have been very significant improvements in performance and Linux compatibility over the last few years. It is unfortunate that you have not experienced much improvement. I know it's hard to believe when you're not seeing them on your system. These changes don't affect everyone's machine the same (especially on Linux).

We are currently working on a Steam Deck official support which will bring about several Linux specific bug fixes with it. That might solve some of the issues that you're experiencing.

However, please understand that this channel is titled not-support-no-bugs and the description starts with No support issues or bugs. It is not possible for us to respond to each bug that is reported but make no mistake, each is catalogued and we do work to resolve each one.

I don't believe you Mike, many people also don't after so many years crying wolf and politically correct answers and deflecting. For 3 years I haven't been able to play the game, and I wanted to so bad, because I really liked it back then when it at least worked somewhat.

Do you know that your game worked worse with every bigger patch? It seems to me that EHG doesn't want to do what needs to be done and fix the game. I don't know if it's the dev team's incompetence or the steaming pile of s h i t that is Unity engine, or a mix of both.

Now that I got a beefy PC that should run this game maxed out like a piece of cake, I still have horrible performance. I even installed Windows to see if it would be any better, but the horrible stuttering is still there.

What gives Mike? When will you guys fix the game so that I can finally play it proper?

You are welcome to open a support ticket on our support site. They will tell you the exact same thing I did.

Look, there are a lot of things that go into making a computer work right and a lot of things that go into making a game work right. Then all of those things multiply together to make a mess of things that have to work just right for the game to run smoothly on that particular system. I've seen the weirdest things cause issues. From a bad external modem (yes modem, not router) to a CMOS battery slightly slowing down the clock so the position checks were our of sync with the server causing rubber banding. That last one was earlier this year with LE. I've seen mistakes we've made in the game only affect a couple people which makes tracking down the issue almost impossible, but we still try. My point is that just because you see posts on the forums, and that you are having similar issues, doesn't mean that it's not improving and that we aren't working to fix them. It is improving and we are working to fix more issues. We have way more data on these issues because most people don't list posting publicly. I know, I know, you don't believe me. Cool, well then there is nothing really to say is there? I tell you what's going on, you tell me I'm wrong and we go around in a circle.

As I've said, we are working on Linux specific things on our Steam Deck release. We are also updating the engine soon which might fix some of your issues too. General performance continues to be our number 2 priority, just behind multiplayer stability and performance.

I am well aware that this is exactly what you don't want to hear but I don't think that there is anything I could say that would alleviate your concerns. I have no idea what is going wrong with your specific situation. We are working to fix it. I can't know when it will be fixed until it is fixed. If that's not good enough, sorry. No amount of insisting on a more specific answer will change that.

# placid plinth You are welcome to open a support ticket on our support site. They will tell you...

Sure, the system and whatnot can cause all kinds of problems.. But my point is that my system has changed over the years (drastically), both hardware and software. There's been countless of updates over these past 3 years, kernels have changed, drivers have changed, GPU & RAM got upgraded etc. At that time I've also been reading A LOT of the threads about technical issues on the forum, people reporting the same exact thing that I experienced.

Ok, Linux can be more difficult to support because of different libraries, packages etc.. So I installed Windows to see if it would make a difference. Windows is more mainstream for gaming and I'm sure it works better for your game and is easier for you to support. So that's another test where entirely different operating system was used with entirely different software/drivers, and yet the performance problem persisted.

The other (even more demanding) games work fine, but somehow only this one is so picky and sensitive when it comes to computer hardware and software? Don't think so.

Mike, I'm sorry that you had to bear this alone, as this was directed at all of EHG. For better or worse, you are the face of the company :)

I've watched and enjoyed your videos on Youtube long enough to see you get more and more grey hair ( I hope I didn't contribute to that! Damn, we are getting old both..), but I also really want to play and enjoy your game too you know?

I will wait for the big engine update and the Linux fixes and then I'll try again.

If even then I have the same problems, will me submitting a new support ticket help? Will someone from EHG go through it and be able to tell me what is causing it based on the logs and whatnot?

When are those updates/changes meant to take place approximately, do you know?

What are the specific HP gate that Aberroth does his slams at? It doesn't seem that anyone knows... If anyone does it's the devs of course. I'm trying to figure it out so that I can get Aberroth to do his slams at the end of the fight when I want him to, but without knowing which health points cause it, I can't, and I don't have time or player skill enough to farm up ten billion harbinger eyes and find out myself.

I just noticed that on unstable core it says, "+ 1 to fire skills, cold skills and lightning skills" while on Twisted Heart it says, "+1 to elemental skills. Shouldn't it just say that on unstable core?!

It is very unlikely that the key to fixing the issue is in the logs. If you submit a bug report using the in game tool and let it submit the logs, we get those directly in the ticketing system and they can get reviewed there.

I don't have any information available about when the updates are coming. We just started working in the new engine version and that will be a while before it actually rolls out in a public patch.

Steam has actually already approved our steam deck version but we are making some additional improvements before we roll it out. No ETA available.

Darn. I have a follow-up question then. At the moment, Aberroth sometimes ends up causing these very tricky situations with a combination of the lasers from the central crystal and the slam. Basically, the following happens:

  • The crystal shoots a bajillion lasers, heavily limiting your mobility.
  • Aberroth preps his slam, limiting your movement further to his mini circle. If you can't capably stand out of the way of the lasers in here, you're outta luck.
  • Aberroth does the slam. If you have to dodge through several lasers to get to the very limited-space safe zone, you're outta luck.

It is, in other words, a big conglomeration of movement-limiting obstacles on the field that feels, honestly, kinda unfair/luck based. I've asked around and basically been told you have to get lucky on the timing of these to not occur at once, or try to abuse immunity to all damage abilities to get by. I was convinced that there must be some trick to make sure these things don't happen at once, thus my first question about trying to force the timing of the abilities so that they wouldn't occur at once.

Is this considered an issue/balance concern that you wish to address in future updates to Aberroth and/or take into account for future boss design, or is this behavior intentional/more easily avoided than I realize and I simply need more practice at the fight?

# carmine smelt Darn. I have a follow-up question then. At the moment, Aberroth sometimes ends u...

One of the expressed goals of the fight is that if you are good enough at it, you can do the fight with a severely under geared character.

Karv managed to do it with a pretty trash character during testing. He did have the advantage of being able to quick reset the fight without farming keys though.

There are some mechanics of the fight that I don't know if they are known yet. I just don't pay enough attention to the general discussions on it to know but I haven't seen people using it.

The way the threshold abilities work is that the boss has a priority list of abilities and charges, just like if you assigned abilities to your bar and just rolled left to right over and over. It uses whatever is highest on the list with charges and a legal target. The slam is very high priority (maybe top) but it doesn't regen charges. When it gets to a ward breakpoint (not sure which ones) it gets a charge so it uses it the next time it can.

carmine smelt
#

A ward breakpoint, eh? You've just answered my question. That doesn't give absolute control over when the slam is done, but that's close - close enough for me to take advantage, I hope.

I was watching a video of the fight just a moment ago trying to see if there was a pattern to the crystal lasers. One targets the player and it looks life the others lock off the part of the field in the opposite side to that. That's also suggestive of certain ways to stand throughout. With that info I think I have enough to put my plan in place. Thanks!

Yeah, I looked closer and realized that they weren't always on the opposite side... nevertheless, it seemed that there was (spoil tagged in case others want to figure it out themselves - disclaimer, not sure I'm right) || (A) a single laser that was put wherever you were standing and tracked you, and (B) a heap of lasers that were put in a fanlike spread that were somewhere other than wherever the single laser was (but not always on the exact opposite side) slowly revolves its position counterclockwise through the arena. The conclusion I tentatively draw from this is that I should stay near, though of course not in, the single laser that tracks me, so that I'll not be in the laser heap.||

Playing a second character this cycle on MG and while I get the guild rank, I can't access the bazaar. The workaround is to enter the main char buy something in the bazaar and send it to the second char? Am I missing something?

Any reason why we can't access the bazaar directly? It just seems unnecessarily convoluted

What do you think about the current Melee Item Tax in Last Epoch because its more or less mandatory to use both a Siphon of Anguish and a Shattered Chains for optimal play since it gives straight up 39% more damage in combination? I would very much enjoy having an additional source of doom outside of uniques because right now if you don't have a ring slot open and are not playing Apathy's Maw you are forced to play Stymied Fate boots that are just very bad in itself.

There seems to be a hidden 'Minion' tag that gets added when you select Forgemastery in the Multistrike skill tree. 1) Is that intended? and 2) If so, why doesn't Bound Weapon get the same treatment in the Rive skill tree?

Maybe they were composed by someone else and we can only include them in the actual game and not stand alone or something weird like that. They might just be newer and haven't been added yet. I feel like those are both reaching though. I really don't know why they aren't there.

Yea I'm really just grasping at straws as to why and I do know that we have had some guest composers come in for a few tracks.

and all the soundtrack files are labeled with the main composer's name

Yep I'm sure you folks are doing stuff "right"/doing right by the composers, more just that music composition/distribution/contract stuff gets real complicated real quick on the specifics. Sort of the music equivalent of someone going "Hey it's super easy to add this feature to the game, right?" with programming/game development 😛

It's been asked in the community channel a couple times but nobody could ever provide an answer, so perhaps it's better suited here:
Concerning the attack speed of skills and minion attacks, there are three related quantities flying around, but their relation remains unclear to me:

  • base speed (some number per second)
  • Use delay (in seconds)
  • Use duration (in seconds)
    I would expect that the base speed and use duration are simply reciprocals of each other, but this is not the case, the math doesn't work out. Somehow the supposed base speed is consistently somewhat faster than the use duration would suggest.
    Could you please explain what exactly these three things mean and how they relate to each other? Why is the use duration longer than what the base speed would imply is possible? Is delay just the windup before the very first attack and needs not be done every time while attacking continuously, or what is it supposed to tell me?
    Thank you in advance
#

is the difference between use duration and the reciprocal of base speed a sort of wind-down time that needs to be done only after the last attack before one can start moving again but gets overwritten if the same skill/attack is repeated immediately? so many things unclear about this

@pine dome Thanks for your reply!

I took some clips of some very wierd Eterra's Blessing - Triage behavior earliar. Kind of seemed reminiscent of when it used to look at absolute health rather than % health when choosing a target, but it often refuses to heal my companion even if I mouse directly over them (despite having triage). Where is a good place to share/submit these clips or is there a spot? haha

On milti-strike for each point of armament we have we deal an extra strike right? So if used nodes flanking strike, perfect strike, divine smith anvil I have five extra strikes? that is quite a few strikes for one target. If you add blade storm that is doubled to up to ten strikes?

Now there make a single target node that does X amount of attacks against a single target?

Another idea for it all strikes do X% of damage to single targets.

Each time a target is struck be X% of damage is lost

I don't know how to make games and what can be implemented or what is even reasonable request and that why I am asking on here instead of the suggestion forums. I want to clean up the request or totally change it with new info

What is the cuisine of Eterra? Are there dishes similar to what you would find IRL? E.g rice and lentil curries in the Majasa region. Greek and Italian fusion in the Thetima region. Hardy yams, potatoes and wheat grown in the ashes of Solarum. And mushrooms, roots, grole meat & rats turned into stews in the post apocalypse.
