Would it be possible for the LastEpochGame twitch channel to keep VODs around for longer, particularly the Q&A Dev Stream stuff? I wanted to link someone the 2025-03-21 stream but can't, as it looks like anything older than ~10 days is purged.
Edit: It's also missing from the LastEpochGame YouTube channel.. looks like regular live stream uploads were happening there, but stopped for some reason 2 months ago.

[limber plume]

What do you mean? There are dev Q&A streams on YT every Friday. I just watched last one yesterday

[inner quest]

I'm referring to the old VODs, not the current one. For example, if you go here: https://www.twitch.tv/lastepochgame/videos?filter=archives&sort=time none of the streams older than 10 days show up, and they've obviously been happening for longer than that.

[snow wyvern]

You can check their YouTube channel, there's older vods there
Edit: saw your edit now, then idk

[limber plume]

They are not under Live, they are under Videos. Just checking it, im currently looking at vods over 2year old - https://www.youtube.com/@LastEpochGame/videos

[inner quest]

None of the streams that happened in March 2025 are on the YouTube channel (under videos). I checked.

[limber plume]

March vod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBhOs3n1XxA&t=7339s (21st March); https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMPpG4lptjM&t=7372s is 28th March

Recent ones are under Live tab

[inner quest]

Weird that they don't show up under videos, thanks!

[plucky kiln]

I would like to see corruption scale for gold in monolith for fully offline, since bazaar is useless in offline mode, and in online mode this would create huge inflation. Is that to much to ask? Will be this added in future to offset offline bazar faction?

[icy stratus]

Is the Cycle in here gonna get renamed to Season(al) in Season 2?
https://i.imgur.com/PWuOEtw.png

[plucky kiln]

Yes!

[crude plover]

Why would you go mg and not CoF in offline? Also please put suggestions in the #1210282176680169562 , nothing in this channel gets logged.

[knotty furnace]

Hey! Hope you’re doing well :)
I have a few questions, I hope you don't mind 😅
You mentioned that procedural generation has been added to the game, along with the engine update. I was wondering — does that make a big difference for you in terms of development and adding new content?
If I understood correctly, you used to build everything by hand — is this going to save you a lot of time, or maybe even open up more creative possibilities?
Also, was it the engine update that made this possible, or did it come from a different need or opportunity?
Thanks again for always taking the time to answer questions, it’s really appreciated!

[tranquil brook]

just saying, if the wasd works fine, then all of what poe2 good will now be in last epoch

[placid plinth]

No

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

It looks like you got it sorted. I don't think we have the option on twitch to keep them longer because we aren't the highest tier of streaming or something. One of them this year did get missed to move over to YouTube. It's part of the reason we are streaming on YouTube now so it's automatic long term saved.

Well, knowing we couldn't do the full version of it in time right from the start, we didn't hit a major unexpected difficulty. The difficulties were very expected.

Yea, that's what I was talking about, it makes sense there because it's high tech.

Some changes yes, it won't replicate everything because that causes so many major problems.

It looks at your current highest corruption across all characters on that stash.

Yes

Yes

Yes, it's part of the reason there are so few sources of parry.

[timber yoke]

What was the most difficult issue that you ran into? Also always appreciate the reply! 🙂

[whole siren]

Since the topic came up in general
This one is for all the devs

Is the meme dress white and gold or is it black and blue for you? 😄

[placid plinth]

It gives us new ways to make zones yes. We will still make many zones by hand. It didn't happen because of the engine upgrade, it's just something we've wanted to do for a long time and this long dev cycle was what we needed to get it done.

[placid plinth]

PoE2's WASD is still better. We will be improving ours. It's why we are calling it WASD beta. It's very bare bones. It's basically like if you mapped w to joystick up and a to joystick left etc.

[whole siren]

tbf they designed poe2 from the ground up with WASD in mind
I will give you a free pass on that one for a couple of seasons 😄

[placid plinth]

I don't know specifics, I wasn't directly involved with the implementation.

[placid plinth]

White and gold

[whole siren]

Same for me 🙂
All the science that came about from it is quite fascinating though

[whole siren]

Since a lot of people have been talking about it...
Just to put the cat among the pigeons
Is bringing forward the launch date of season 2 even a possibility?
I know its much easier to push back than to bring forward

[inland mason]

I'am exhausted to read the same non sens everyday, all my strength to Devs for enduring it everyday (Genkidama way) xD

[raw tulip]

Just so we know , any estimation how large the Update will be GigaByte wise ?

[toxic crest]

Hello ! Where can i ask about some really bad techical issues without waiting days for a proper response? Game is literally unplayable for me right now with no reason...

[plucky kiln]

@crude plover dont play in online mode, so MG is uselss to me, i can't sell tyself its kinda stupid, Reason is asking is on offline mode atleast i can run monolith to farm gold and go dungeons to run em with gold. I don't like Cycles or Online. Also i don't have premission to post in suggestions...idk why

[fleet galleon]

Did you try reading the top post in the suggestions?

[icy stratus]

I asked some time ago if it's possible to use both WASD and click-to-move at the same time and Mike said yes, the big issue is gonna be maps not being designed around 8-way movement so lots of places will be easier to click through than zigzag with WASD

[placid plinth]

It'll be significant. I don't have a number off hand, sorry.

[rancid sand]

will there be a preload?

[placid plinth]

You can open a support ticket on our support site to get help. Top right corner of this link from the bot.

!support

[fiery lily]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[placid plinth]

No, offline mode prevents this.

[dark frigate]

i thought steam supports an encrypted preload so that you just have to install it on release? is that not an option?

[placid plinth]

Could be, would be news to me.

[placid plinth]

No

[dark frigate]

i know its a thing, i'm just not sure if you can only use that for the initial release or with regular patches aswell

[placid plinth]

Would be worth looking into. I don't know either.

[jaunty dune]

i believe you previously answered a question about the weaver nodes that make certain things (like the nemesis for example) spawn more often and said that it uses the weaver tree from the timeline's owner to determine what should spawn.

Is that the case for all weaver nodes? for example, does the one that gives WW items a chance to have a lucky WW rating only work if the timeline owner has it?

[vivid marsh]

Can I check what's is the confirmed date for release of season 2?

[dark frigate]

there is a timer on the website https://lastepoch.com/

[placid plinth]

I'll have to double check this to be sure but I think that because drops are individual, those could apply regardless.

[pine dome]

@wooden lynx This is not a question, this is feedback from another game disguised as a question because technically you put a ? in it.

[zenith ginkgo]

you can check the timer on the website or click on @pine dome profile (sorry for ping) and check to see in your local time and date

[sly canopy]

Will the servers survive launch?

[placid plinth]

I have activated my epoch and taken a quick peek into the future and unless me meddling with the timeline has caused issues, we're looking good.

[bronze forum]

To be fair, a lot, and I mean A LOT of people really want to be playing Last Epoch rn 😄

[pine dome]

Sure but whining about another game here doesn't achieve anything.

[jaunty dune]

nothing is stopping them

[whole siren]

is your epoch the equivalent of a magic 8 ball that actually works? 😄

[stuck spruce]

Can we expect a Unique-specific loot filter setting in Season 2? (I mean, can I set a loot filter rule for a specific unique item, since until now it was possible to set it based on item level, but since there is overlap in the base item types, in many cases it was not possible to set it properly)

[glass ravine]

how is which tab opens when you open your stash decided? is there improvements to that planned? like a way to make a tab your "Opening Tab" instead
sometimes its the last moved tab, sometimes it's that one tab I haven't touched in months that's still getting picked, etc.

[flint coral]

Will the Capybara pet be a free mtx from drops ?

[pine dome]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/414295382625878037/1357827728111304804/image.png?ex=67f3995d&is=67f247dd&hm=f5064bf85cad9b10ed67a45126008488edb2fc7742c74c734f4379069d4a30a2&
This is what is planned for the Twitch drop campaign

[iron thistle]

Any plans to move your release date back up since the PoE2 update has been received so poorly? Might be a good time to collect the refugees from that game to play your new update while they wait for their game to be fixed.

[pine dome]

No

[ember topaz]

If you make a change to the tab or (iirc) move an item within the tab it will be the one to open when you next use the stash. You can just right click the tab and hit accept on the edit menu to force this. Agree a "default" tab checkbox or something would be nice though

[fluid axle]

Regarding the capybara - can we pet that dog?

[whole siren]

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

[hallow bobcat]

These are skill mtx?

[tranquil brook]

Yup, it kinda works like the diablo 4 wasd. Anyway, that's already a HUGE advancement

[placid plinth]

The ones that reference specific skills are.

[placid plinth]

No but I want to get some mini pet idle animations in.

[placid plinth]

I don't think that made it in

[hallow bobcat]

Very nice! Look forward to them and the new supporter packs be buying them 😄

[regal stratus]

We know that enemy dot scaling has been changed by the following: 15% less damage overall and 50% less corruption scaling. How does this affect endless arena? You would obviously benefit from the 15% overall less damage, but does the 50% less from corruption scaling also apply?

[placid plinth]

No, the arena doesn't have corruption scaling.

[final night]

Is it possible to disable right-click to equip? It seems I'm not the only one who has asked this. Every single time I use it, it's on accident and last time it lead to me merching a piece of gear but by the time I noticed, it was gone from the buyback panel. Is it very difficult to implement the ability to disable this?

[placid plinth]

Not for day 1 of the launch of Season 2. The patch is locked down to critical game breaking fixes only at this point.

If you'd like us to consider adding something to the game, please use #1210282176680169562

[naive goblet]

So...what are the odds of ya'll dropping Season 2 early? 😂

[fossil dune]

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

[naive goblet]

DYeah I figured, was worth a shot XD

[tidal obsidian]

what are devs expectations around player count on season 2 launch? More or less players than launch and season 1?

[eternal zinc]

why this game call last epoch, not love epoch?

[naive goblet]

We do Love Epoch!

[olive cargo]

Have you guys found any unexpected bugs during this extended time that made you think, "Whew, glad we caught THAT one before the patch went live!" 😄

[wispy osprey]

Yooo guys, is it Possible to release the patch earlier ? I wanted to Play Poe 2, gave it a go till Act 2 and its a slog and I dont wana play it untill they fix their game. 😅

[teal trail]

this has been asked a thousand times and the answer has always been no, because it's very difficult to do

[torn flare]

Hey, love the game!
I was thinking about new runemaster builds for the coming season and stumbled upon something I wanted to ask. Rune powercore doesn't give extra runic energy when you change the order but not the individual count of runes. Like for example going from L-C-F to C-F-L. I was wondering why it was done this way and if it's possibly subject to change.
Cheers!

[worldly marten]

just force unlist /make invisible everything on trade on legacy and require to press "make visible" or "confirm previous listing" button in the MG NPC interface window again. People who listed duplicated items a year ago wont come on legacy probably
At least worth trying

[crude plover]

So it's basically an optics thing? As in just because there are items listed for unreasonable prices (that no one's buying anymore) people get discouraged thinking that's what items are getting listed for currently and as such don't engage?

Because if someone lists an item today for those prices it's never selling forcing them to either re-list or just never sell it, giving them context for subsequent items that they should most likely lower the price.

[valid marlin]

If this is the current state if the legacy market, it's probably very difficult to understand an appropriate price to list an item

[worthy mirage]

This isn't an unreasonable complaint especially in absence of built-in price and sales stats in the market UI (compare say to Albion Online for a decent and simple implementation), but I guess this isn't the right channel for discussion

[jaunty dune]

Is it hype week?:)

[pine dome]

in 2hours 🤞

[midnight pier]

Would you say that this is the same approach that Diablo 4 took to their WASD implementation?

[placid plinth]

I have never tried WASD in D4, 1 sec, let me check

[placid plinth]

yes, very similar (I'm sure there are differences but with 10s of testing it is very similar)

[midnight pier]

Thank you! My take on D4's WASD is that it's playable, just isn't as smooth as PoE 2's which makes sense. I'll be happy to play WASD beta in LE if it feels the same.

[placid plinth]

nice

[verbal pine]

Can we get a video showing what it looks like creating a unique? Like how it starts from an idea, concept art, coding and finalization (testing).

[placid plinth]

That's a cool idea for a video. I think it would be a neat thing to do mid Season when we are actually making them for the next Season. The coding part of it might be tricky to get approval to expose. Drop it in #1210282176680169562

[verbal pine]

Word thanks!

[drowsy thicket]

so you could bLast and EPog

[frail sentinel]

Or a cool idea for a Making Last Epoch Blog Post 🤔

[flint bloom]

Are these just reffering to weaver touched idols or are the "gods" idols the heretical ones?

[placid plinth]

Once and idol has been enchanted it gains the prefix Heretical

[flint bloom]

so the weaver is the heretical one. ✍️ GAVRYN! I HAVE LORE FOR YOU

[placid plinth]

I could probably find a way to get a better screenshot of this but this is from that post.

[rancid sand]

very important question does the spooder pet move by rolling the thread ball?

[placid plinth]

lol, I haven't actually seen it in game yet.

[flint bloom]

Ave said yes in gen chat a lil bit ago

[placid plinth]

ok nice, I was just going to look

[sacred slate]

For the imprint in the weaver tree, does "creating similar items" mean dropping more of that base type or does it also use the affixes?

[placid plinth]

It takes the item and changes some number of random properties in some way. So it could be as similar as identical and as different as sharing just a couple things. Both extremes are very rare.

[rancid sand]

wait couldnt we grind uniques with that then? EDIT : like it would make items like nihilis/ omni wayyyy more grindable?

[placid plinth]

yes - after the edit, not wayyyyyy

[eternal zinc]

how much ep will frostclaw mtx will cost?

[placid plinth]

which one

[rancid sand]

soo no boss drop uniques ? but stuff like red ring and ravenous void will be?

[tawdry snow]

Any chance you guys release this week to capitalise on the dismal poe2 update launch?

[vagrant ledge]

Hi have you video with presentation new support pack? Or just screen in site im looking for Woven Vanquisher.

[cloud helm]

they already have a release date...

[placid plinth]

No. Moving a launch forward is way harder than pushing it back.

[placid plinth]

Today's post is everything on it.

[placid plinth]

Full details on itemization will be available during the podcast with Talkative Tri tomorrow. Please don't jump to conclusions.

[crude plover]

Have you guys considered doing periodic/rotating sales on certain items in the mtx shop or do you think that might cause some unhealthy FOMO or something similar? Since afaik there's never been a sale within the in-game shop. Not that I personally want it (I feel it's a little cheesy tbh), just curious on your thoughts.

[eternal zinc]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

It have multiple mtx?

[placid plinth]

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I don't know how much they are, I was teasing...yea

[placid plinth]

I'm sure it's been considered. We have the systems in place for it. I'm not sure why it hasn't been done. I don't see anything wrong with putting stuff on sale every now and then. I think the issue comes when something is mostly on sale and the "regular price" is actually just anchoring to make the sale feel better.

[crude plover]

Yeah personally I like wide sales during special events and stuff more becasue if you know that something will eventually go on sale through a rotating sale system or whatever you'll just wait until it goes on sale, at which point it might as well just be the sale price all the time. Atleast that's my view on it. Kinda like how everyone waits until a tab sale to buy stash tabs in poe (they happen like once a month or so iirc)

[meager mountain]

a question regarding the cocoons that can appear in the new Tombs/cemeteries of the Erased, can only one cocoon appear per area? and if more than 1 can appear, can more than one soul possess a monster? i.e. you intentionally let monsters chase you near a cocoon and have them get possessed then intentionally let them chase you to another cocoon to stack more souls on them for higher rewards

[placid plinth]

Multiple cocoons can appear in 1 zone. Souls can only possess non-possessed enemies.

[hoary frigate]

what does the number of Heretical affixes (1 or 2) enchanted on an idol depend on? Pure random?

[crude plover]

They get converted from something called weaver's touch

Idk if you're getting more info than that, seems pretty intentionally worded :P

[hoary frigate]

suppose i did a cemetery, put my idol into the altar then press Enchant. How can I get 2 heretical affixes instead of just one ?

[placid plinth]

It always grants 1 enchanted affix and some Weaver's Touch.

[hoary frigate]

"Heretical idols can have up to 4 affixes - 2 normal affixes with no tiers and 2 enchanted affixes" - 2 enchanted affixes.

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

I just had to get approval to explain what Weaver's Touch is. It's Weaver's Will for Idols. You get the second affix revealed over time.

[deep plover]

Oh thats DOPE!

[serene mango]

So the first affix is "on use" when we put the idol in and the second one though weavers will or other means?

[hoary frigate]

love the new idol system. idols have always been the hardest gearing part for me in LE

[placid plinth]

as you gain xp, weaver's touch on your idols will convert into tiers of a second enchanted affix. just like weaver's will does for items.

[serene mango]

Is that exclusive for the second affix or can the first one be upgraded as well, or does it only roll on enchant

[placid plinth]

pretty sure it's just the second one but I'm not actually positive on that one

[deep plover]

The fact Idols are getting some love is HUGE! They can really round out your build, so giving us something else to build for is really nice....Will they have the same drop rates?

[hoary frigate]

gain xp? not killing monsters? what if I'm already lvl 100 and no xp gain

[placid plinth]

yup

[placid plinth]

you still gain xp at lvl 100

it just doesn't go anywhere

just like how xp tomes still give you quick skill respecs at lvl 100

[crude plover]

If it works like WW it shouldn't actually care about the amount of xp collected, just that you're killing mobs that would grant xp afaik. Is this correct? (was like 1% chance per enemy killed with a 15 second cd or something)

[placid plinth]

yes, I totally remembered that we changed WW to not scale off of xp 👀

[blissful delta]

Is there a plan for cosmetics to be available to offline players?

[placid plinth]

It's frequently requested but I don't know of a path to it at the moment.

All I can say for sure is that it won't be in Season 2.

[celest bluff]

Weaver tree allows us to imprint items to increase our chances to find certain bases. I believe you said that the imprinted item needs to be in our inventory. With this being said, is it possible to imprint the very, let's say, amulet that we are currently using? Also, could e expect that in the future the item would stay in the weaver tree item box?

[clear tendon]

Hey Mike! I'm 99% sure the wording is intentional but can only be class specific idols get weaver's touch?
(If yes): Do you think builds that don't have a specific class idol they're aiming for will suffer from that if they're using "generic" ones?
Thanks ❤️

[icy stratus]

You have to finish a Cemetery to be able to slot Woven echoes into the timelines web, correct? So I can't slot a new cool Woven echo into the web right away when I get it, I gotta jump some hoops, right?

[desert sleet]

Imprinting an item just saves a snapshot of it to the imprint slot. You can keep wearing the item or even craft or shatter it and that will not affect the imprint. You can overwrite the imprint at any time and it will make a new snapshot.

[placid plinth]

They would if we didn't make some new small idols too 😉

[desert sleet]

You'll have pretty frequent access to placing woven echoes.

[bleak forge]

heyo 🙂
loved the new supporter packs
will we have teasers for them? i mean a video showing the supporter packs?

[icy stratus]

Yeah, since you want to slam idols you'll want to go there anyway, but it is a little PoE2-Tower-coded, can't just slam Woven echo and go, it's kinda making sure you're far enough along the web to get distance bonuses and then Tetrising the most optimal echoes at the moment, maybe not engaging with the mechanic until you're at the edge of echo. I trust you guys it's gonna work out, but the design is a bit against the "slam and go" and more towards "wait wait wait puzzle solve go"

[sturdy ridge]

Not sure if it was asked but what happens if we brick an idol?

[placid plinth]

You can re-roll them.

[teal trail]

Will we be able to use the new rune? on idols. The one that reveals WW mods?

[dry wasp]

When are achievements being added via steam achievements

[exotic storm]

a bit of a selfish question maybe, but with the way EHG tries to thematically fit things together I am curious why there are virtually no ways to "spread" fire around. I mean its inherently how fire works.. yet we are limited in what we can do to fufill that screen wide burning and exploding fantasy. was trying to make it work with spreading flames but it appears you can't scale its base damage an due to it being an ailament it can't proc things like ignite or other damage types that can scale. Really wanting that firestarter power fantasy but really have no options, unless im overlooking something??? Overall great game really hyped for the update keep up the hard work, and get those 500,000 servers ready for the 17th 🙂

[sturdy ridge]

ahh so infinite uses

[bleak forge]

FOUND IT ON STEAM lol
sorry 🙂

[teal trail]

Spreading flames is scaled just like ignite, with % increased fire damage and the more multipliers of the skill that caused it.

You could also use and spread witch fire from warlock

[exotic storm]

wow ok I was told you can't scale its damage and I have to say I don't really seeing it scaling well even when I am using the right modifiers my ignites do way more .... maybe because of the stacking but spreading flames falls off hard really quick. (damage wise)

[crude plover]

It does scale, but yeah just not very well since you an only apply one instance so you gotta rely on its base damage (which is low for endgame) way more than other ailments

[desert sleet]

Since echoes are pretty bite sized, we wanted to avoid the feeling that you needed to stop between every single echo and set up your next one. The natural play pattern without seeking out specific content will have you able to place them every so often, but if you get a drop that you really want to place and run immediately, there's ways to force access to being able to place them quickly (and you'll be getting other rewards besides just the ability to place them in doing so). Typically, you'll probably place a series of them all at once (i.e. plan out your next handful of echoes), then run those as a group back to back. Late game, you will not be lacking in woven echoes to place or access to place them.

[placid plinth]

I recomend starting Warlock next patch if you're after this type of power fantasy.

[placid plinth]

No ETA but it's high on the list.

[desert sleet]

Yes

[glass thorn]

Hey Mike, do we have a metric of how many people finish the 10/10 harbinger grind and attempt abberoth? I am just curious ❤️ thank you much love

[placid plinth]

no idea off the top of my head. I feel like we could probably pull the data for forgotten knights faction progress. Probably can't see those that have attempted aberroth but it's probably an extremely similar subset of players. I'll ask.

[glass thorn]

thank you so much, I wanted to make a video talking about something similar, thank you very much mike for everything you do for us! ❤️

[teal trail]

could you do a data dump on player progress and class selections and such before 1.2? or would that not be feasible time wise? would be nice to compare it to the last one

[placid plinth]

the reason I think that the harbingers is possible is because it's directly linked to your faction progress which is relatively easy to parse. I'm also not sure if we are allowed to share the data if it is possible.

[glass thorn]

I don't even want specific numbers, I just wanted like a ballpark esitmate because a while ago you said only like 1% of people got to 300c or something like that, and it blew my mind. So I was wondering if it changed at all with the Harbingers getting introduced.

[idle rune]

Hey Mike! With the huge update on the way will you all be opening up the Lurkit Content Creator program to more creators?

[crude plover]

Thought it was already open? or rather I didn't know it ever closed. are you sure it's closed?

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/introducing-the-last-epoch-content-creator-program/61964

[idle rune]

Yeah it is open, but I am not sure anything is happening with the Apps

[crude plover]

are you in the creator discord? stuff like that gets annonced there. You should've gotten access whenever you signed up through lurkit or nexus

[placid plinth]

To be clear, that was me guessing and not based on data that I've seen.

[idle rune]

I am not, must have missed it

[crude plover]

uhhh, let me see if I can get you in

[whole siren]

Only approved if you call it Last eBlog
Mike you have my permission to steal the name 😉

[icy stratus]

I see, makes sense. Such a breath of fresh air to see developers being hands-on and thinking features through. 🙏
You're gonna smash your previous max concurrents, 300k+ or I'm borrowing this and making it happen

[whole siren]

From the sounds of it, the weaver content won't be encountered at all in the regular campaign is that right?
We will only encounter them in the monolith system?

[placid plinth]

That's right, your first encounter with a tomb will be relatively early on in your first monolith.

[whole siren]

It sounded like it
My only criticism is that its a shame that you gotta wait like 15-20 hours of gameplay before you encounter and interact with the new season's content at all
I suppose without procedural generation for the open world its much more difficult to incorporate into the main campaign maps

EDIT:
Maybe criticism is a harsh word, disappointment might be better?

[placid plinth]

I think 15-20 hours is a pretty big outlier for time to first monolith. There is also more new content that happens throughout the campaign.

[hollow agate]

Monolith are not 15hours in the game. But more probably a few hours if you already know what you are doing. If not everything is new so no problem.

[whole siren]

Depends if you have "mustfullcleareverymapitis" like me 😄
Oh and please pass on the kudos to the art team, they have done a stellar job with the supporter packs

[short ingot]

Can we expect supporter pack pricing to be similar to existing packs?

[whole siren]

I think the only downer from the supporter packs that I could see was that Beeteor didn't make the grade 😭

[short ingot]

99% chance it will be in store

[dry wasp]

Thank you

[whole siren]

We can but hope
The flaming armour looks like it matches the dragon shield perfectly
The flaming maul the flames oddly seem to be a different colour (even though they are from the same supporter pack)

[past delta]

not really a question but wanted to say im giga excited for the new patch and wasd movement, thanks for all the hard work guys!

[amber hill]

Had a question for the new unique Nest of Nightmares showcased in the latest news post and how it interacts with Forged weapons.

1. Is the chance to apply spiders on melee hit given to Forge Weapons? (I'm guessing yes as it is an ailment and other ailments like spreading flames can be applied by FW)
2. How does the shared modifiers (leech and crit multi) apply to Forged weapons? It should have double effect for them correct? As if I am not wrong these type of modifiers are typically two modifiers in one (38% melee crit multi and 38% melee crit multi for minions).

[whole siren]

Oh and one last question from me tonight
Some of the cosmetics are unclear what they are
Are they dodge roll animation cosmetics? (For example the bottom two on the woven traveller supporter pack image)

[short ingot]

You can check them on steam, its in store with videos but you can't buy it yet

[crude plover]

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3512570/Last_Epoch__Woven_Traveler_Supporter_Pack/

[whole siren]

Coolio
The cosmetic 2h mace can it only replace 2 handed maces? Or any two handed melee weapon?

[crude plover]

I think in one of the dev streams you mentioned that you guys might be bringing the new procedural generation tech into dungeons. If that happens do you think we might see more dungeons? Since when they first came out it kinda felt like they would be used for a lot of the stuff that we're seeing woven echoes take the role of (obviously a whole dungeon run might result in a more substantial mechanic compared to a woven echo but I still think the gist is similar). I'm guessing the main reason for us not getting more of them since they were first introduced is because they're just a lot of work and because of the aforementioned tech stuff. Or maybe you guys just wanted to wait for more campaign to have somewhere to put them? Would love to hear your thoughts about dungeons current state and their future in the game since (and this might surprise some) I actually think they're one of the coolest things about the game.

[placid plinth]

yes, they range from $10-$60

[placid plinth]

Yea, the big thing dungeons have that woven echoes don't is a specific new ability and mechanic. New dungeons are on the list.

[placid plinth]

We've been trying to broaden it. Part of the problem is that some abilities have specific weapon restrictions, Void Cleave with a cosmetic mace looks kinda weird.

[urban silo]

have yall taken into account the new eu-legislation about ingame purchases being bought with epoch points needing a real world currency price too?

[placid plinth]

1. because it scales off of weaver's will item equipped, the forged weapons don't benefit from it.
2. they do get both halves of it but they don't get triple, they get the minion part because they are minions and then they get the normal part because they inherrit the stat. Their minions also get the minion stat but they don't have any minions to buff.

[placid plinth]

I'm no expert at all with it and maybe something has happened more recently than the one I'm thinking of but I don't think that actually affects us. (assuming I'm thinking of the right thing)

I think we were also already almost doing all of the things they mentioned anyways though.

[urban silo]

it affects anything we can buy with epoch points ingame, mtx needs to have real life price now for eu-customers

[amber hill]

Also about the heretical idols, can we use the weaver will speed up glyph on them as well? Super annoying to unveil and see if you've got the right mods you want

[amber hill]

And also can we store Idol Enchants somewhere incase we complete a Tomb/Cemetery but don't have any good idols to enchant

[placid plinth]

No, it's an alter at the end of the echo that you can only use while you are there. It's very accessible though.

[placid plinth]

Yea, I remember when it was announced and I don't know the specifics of what it explicitly requires. I think that because our Epoch points are a fixed rate and you don't get a discount for buying in bulk the price is clear. If there is something that we are required to change, we will comply with that. I'm sorry, I really don't know the details.

[astral reef]

im also pretty sure LE system is fine

[placid plinth]

I'm trying to find it and I can only find news articles that say it's required but I can't find anything official that actually says it is explicitly required to put the local currency on each individual item.

Not that there is anything really wrong with needing to do that.

[mental flame]

https://commission.europa.eu/document/8af13e88-6540-436c-b137-9853e7fe866a_en

Page 4

[placid plinth]

Yea, that's what I'm reading, I don't think we are actually running afoul of that. But like I said, I'm no expert and if we are, we will fix it.

[inland mason]

Is LE / EHG making enough money to sustain the cost of servers / development ? (without doing any predatory methods : 100$ to play 4 days before lunch - many DLC, subscriptions...) Will you ask for "a push / help (via skins)" when it goes "in red" or are will you prefer finding private investors if needed ? (The LE ship should never sink!)

[placid plinth]

Those practices have been popularized because they work. We've always tried to approach our pricing and MTX in a fair manner. I think the best way for us to keep the boat afloat is just to make the best game we can and offer people stuff that is worth spending money on.

[gentle thorn]

Hey Mike, is the champion affix increasing the maximum number of shadow allowing the bladedancer to go from 5 to 6, or it's still hard-capped at 5? (which would defeat the purpose of the affix for them)
(since i cant post a screenshot, it's the one giving +x dodge rating and +1 maximum shadow, showed as mirage champion arcane bracers)

[placid plinth]

+1 max shadows increases your maximum shadows by 1. It doesn't have a hard cap.

[fringe sparrow]

So it's been stated that Weaver's faction and the Forgotten Knight faction will be mutually exclusive. Is there a penalty for swapping? If not, won't people just feel like they have to swap before doing certain content?

[placid plinth]

Sorry for the confusion but they are not mutually exlusive. You can do both simultaneously.

(also if you have a source, I'd love to be able to go correct that source to avoid spreading misinformation)

[fringe sparrow]

Oh that's a relief. I've seen it on messages on this discord and I thought I heard it on a Q&A but I may be mistaken. Thanks Mike!

[real night]

Hey Juicebags.

With the Creator Program being the size it is, we close it in the weeks leading up to a launch for various reasons. It'll open back up a couple weeks after Tombs of the Erased.

[timid fjord]

Will we have the similar thing as with nemesis egg that we have access to our stash while using the altar?

[placid plinth]

yea

[placid plinth]

you can see the stash icon in this screenshot just like with the egg

[final cave]

If you were to release a memecoin, what would you name it?

[teal trail]

this isn't a requirement but a suggestion sadly, no gamedev actually needs to follow those

[worthy mirage]

Obviously we don't have all the detailed information yet, but having unique weaver's echoes where you are able to disenchant sets for set affixes (and presumably nowhere else) does sound dangerously close to a dungeon level of exclusive mechanic.

[verbal pine]

is the Weaver going to be a uber boss down the line? if not in this season?

[placid plinth]

it's possible

[placid plinth]

You don't get specific extra abilities like the time jump or the shield swap or the amber control in the woven echoes. Not talking about the rewards at the end.

[spiral summit]

Hey mike, thanks for sticking around for questions. I have 2 of them:

1. Is there a specific reason why you have so late access to the factions on your first char? Pretty much need to reach endgame to be able to trade/cof.

2. Why are the respeccing skills so punished in early game? My skills early on have like multiple points difference, while lategame they only have 0-1 difference only.

Thanks in advance. I do appreciate you doing this q&a.

[scenic basin]

have devs considered just launching the league a week early because path of exile 2 dropped the ball completely? :-)

[flint bloom]

not happening

[ashen summit]

im not sure if this is the right channel to ask this but have you guys made improvements on server stability and capacity recently? have been seeing more and more people say they want to try last epoch and was wondering if anything was done after 1.0 to lessen how severe server issues can be on launch. obviously offline mode will always be there but it still can have an impact on player retention

[flint bloom]

yes they fixed the issues that were in 1.0 launch and are as prepared as they can be.

1.1 and 1.1 reset were pretty smooth server wise

[ashen summit]

glad to here, hope the launch has lots of players and goes smooth. all the upcoming content looks sick

[jaunty dune]

will the capybara pet make the noise from the Love Epoch post?

[placid plinth]

The dun dun dunnnnn sound? No, that was just for the joke.

[signal leaf]

Is there a way to do some sort of bundle deal with the current supporter packs? there doesnt seem to be a combined option with all of the current ones?

[placid plinth]

No, the current ones are all individual.

[final night]

So can each monolith have it's own weavers tree attached to it?

[placid plinth]

The mechanics are really end game targeted. We didn't want to throw too many things at new players right away. Thematically they fit really well in the story at that point and interacting with them too early is a bit of a trap because the xp gain rate early is so low compared to monolith.

I would like to push back on it being punishing early game. You can pretty confidently respec skills early without too much consequence. Having a well put together build is much more important late game.

[placid plinth]

The weavers tree unlocks stash wide and is allocated character wide.

[final night]

Sorry I dont think I understand. Is there only one weavers tree that affects all the monoliths simultaneously then?

[placid plinth]

Yup

[sage smelt]

where is the image of the 2 cocoon items that were on the post earlier did the image got substituted? im pretty sure ive seen to cocoon weapons today on the new post but they are gone

[placid plinth]

I could have sworn I saw one too. I don't know what happened to it.

[ashen summit]

will we have to wait to see the prices of the new supporter packs or will they be priced the same as the abbysal series of supporter packs in the game?

[placid plinth]

they range from $10-$60

[echo sinew]

oh veyr nice!

[lost cairn]

Hi, I was wondering which day will have the reveal for what cocooned uniques are and how that works? Thanks!

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure but I expect it will be a topic for the itemization podcast tomorrow or the itemization devlog the day after.

[echo sinew]

I love that you guys all live in the real world and understand how bad the economy is and know not many people can afford to just spend 450 dollars on supporter packs and I also think this choice in the end will result in more sales! cause people can actually afford it!!!

[sweet island]

Will the Nemesis mechanic continue to be as common as it is throughout the campaign?

[mellow notch]

Will the Item Filter be updated to show only a specific unique next season?

[verbal pine]

i read or heard somewhere we'll be able to choose cof/mg early in the game. is that true or im crazy

[jaunty dune]

it is true on alts

[verbal pine]

thanks!

[placid plinth]

Don't think so

[placid plinth]

If anything, slightly reduced due to introducing the new champions.

[zenith ginkgo]

might have been said already but any idea on how long Cycle 2 will last?

[plucky cape]

Great new info! will any of the unique weaver idols have something for beasmaster? like +1 companion or something? 😄

[grave lantern]

https://i.imgur.com/ndyAHgo.png

https://i.imgur.com/PoVKr2r.png

Anyone care to address this? False advertisement or honest mistake?

[placid plinth]

We haven't shared specifics of what the enchants will bring. +1 max companion in too strong for an idol because you could get multiples of them.

[plucky cape]

Makes sense, looking forward to the goodies then, thanks 🙂

[placid plinth]

That looks like the old Kickstarter page to me. Those are the things we had planned way back when. Many things have changed since then. As Kain said, we do still want to add achievements and it is a requirement for a console release, another thing we want to do still. That link also says PvP and only 10 masteries. Our development process is heavily tied to feedback from our community and many other features have risen above these things in priority.

I think we would have a much worse game overall if we had rigidly stuck to the original pitch on the kickstart page.

[plucky cape]

1 more thing, with the new woven echoes/tree, would they apply to boss drops? as such, would boss drops be easier to farm if set up to target them? thanks ❤️

[gusty prawn]

Two weaver tree nodes were teased, which causes rare mobs to drop boss uniques

[placid plinth]

Some can

[grave lantern]

The game was sold with Achievements as an advertised feature.

I hate to be an ass here but....I can't help but feel cheated if those are never implemented.

I am not so dumb to think achievements are high on the priority list. Just something important to me.

I appreciate that you still have it on the road map. All I can do is wait. It seems that there is a surprising call for Steam Achievements on every update post you guys make so please consider it at some point! 😦

Thanks for your response!

[placid plinth]

They are certainly rising quickly up the list. Especially recently.

[fluid axle]

Will CoF be able to get champion affix items at a faster rate than MG? (dropping your own gear)

[lament tulip]

I'm sure many of us are thinking the same thing, but with the servers and 1.2 launch, And I'm sure you've been asked many a time already, even on Fridays streams... But, with the back end changes and server host changes, what's the plan look like roughly for scaling up or down, as demand floods on in April 17? I'd imagine there's gonna be a influx of new and excited players, some from poe2, some elsewhere, and returning players. I think Mike did say there's be some manner of contingency plan should things get rough load wise?

[pearl dagger]

Gregory is gonna get approved for overtime

[balmy cloud]

I mean they don't have a publisher breathing down their neck, right? I saw on Steam it says LE is developed + published by EHG so hopefully there wouldn't be the usual issue of begging the publisher for money to allocate to server overhead

I'm feeling pretty optimistic about LE S2 launch, but I'm also trying to stay realistic

[grim steeple]

This. did you plan a huge server upgrade and several people for load balancing for the release ? PoE2 is a cataclysmic flop and the amount of users it is going to bring you guys is going to be gigantic. I guess you guys know this is probably your best timing since few years, I sincerely hope you can seize this opportunity because I love the game and wish you the best.

[lament tulip]

Don't get me wrong, I want this game to shine, while 1.1 was a tame launch in regards to servera dying, we may be seeing a bigger spike this time around, with poe2 pooping the bed, im cautiously optimistic and just wanting the launch to go well

[final cave]

Heya. Saw you mentioned the price of the supporter packs top out at 60 bucks. I assume that's USD. Are you still using Steams automatic currency conversions or have you set region-specific pricing? 🙂

[zenith crypt]

will EHG add guilds ?

it'll only improve the game experience as well as promote communities in a positive way to further enhance the game and repeatability.

[whole siren]

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

They have been talked about, this answer was from just two or three weeks ago so relatively recent.
They know a community hub in LE would be popular, but so would finally getting in achievements, new skills, new masteries, new base classes, WASD controls, etc 🙂

Two of the above have made it into 1.2 - give em time to cook ❤️

[zenith crypt]

i would think that guilds would be a priority when making a game

and having so many years of development and never thinking of this seems more of a choice or reason than not having time.

[whole siren]

When the game first launched there wasn't even an online multiplayer mode, that was tested and implemented starting from 0.7 through to 0.9 I think (if my old man memory fails me I am sure I will be corrected).

So with zero multiplayer content there was also zero reason to have guilds/clans
The idea has popular traction, it gets asked for enough that the fact they are having internal plans/discussions on its implementation are a good thing

[somber marten]

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

They did not have a reason to think about guilds until recently as they have no idea what to put in except as a group chat since they did not want any multiplayer-only content and they did not want a free guild stash.

[pulsar heath]

Will there be any updates or improvements to skill VFX and impact sounds in Season 2? I recently saw the new lightning spear throw skill in PoE2, and both the visuals and impact audio were incredibly satisfying — really made the skill feel powerful. Just wondering if there's anything like that coming to Last Epoch.

[frail sentinel]

Well it would be part of an existing series called Making Last Epoch, but for you I'll sneak in a Last eBlog reference

[whole siren]

I shall be honoured and look forward to reading your work :3

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, with this node does DOrb become instant cast ? Or will it break Warpath channeling ?

[fickle perch]

With the Weaver was introduced the notion of "Titan" as we know he is one. Are Eterra or Orobyss Titans as well ? Can any entity ascend to TItanhood or is it a native trait ? If it's a native trait where are Titans from ?

[pine chasm]

Titan is basically a class of really big creatures from the ancient era that were almost entirely killed off by the divine era gods. Eterra and Orobyss/Observer are gods too, not titans. Eterra probably created the titans along with the rest of the world, going off what The Observer says (she also created all the divine era gods).
The lightless arbor dungeon boss and giant worm the Imperials drain blood from to power their artificial waypoint are both titans. The dragons could be considered titans, too.

[soft knot]

Are you guys ever going to implement a bee item that grants frenzy and call it "The Bees Knees?"

[flint bloom]

that sounds more like a #1210282176680169562

[soft knot]

Ohhh my bad, thanks for responding

[runic shell]

with the new rune that switches the tiers of the affixes i've just realized that COF at some point will only be interested in any Exalted with any T7 affix and 1 or 2 of the affix they want of any tier. with the current lootfilter though, you can't select for only T7 while excluding T6, and also specifying other affixes at any tier.
I wonder if the team has created a new item rarity type for T7 Exalted. It's being added in 1.2 or should I add it to the suggestions?

[timid fjord]

you can do rule that hides all T6 items so you would only see the T7 exalted. Also they are calling it Season 2, they've moved on from the 1.2 naming.

[jolly maple]

are you guys gonna do a server test before the launch, and try to get as many people online as possible? Just to see if your servers can handle the pressure. would be nice to be able to play on release day 😉

[wintry flume]

I hope you guys knock this season out of the park, theres gonna be alot of eyes on you to perform with PoE2 stumbling the way it just did. You guys have done alot right with crafting , trade and just in general QoL in the game looking forward to trying it out.

[flint bloom]

please keep this open for actual questions for the devs, please

[opaque falcon]

will the ability to reselect your mastery also apply to characters in standard and offline?

[pine dome]

Yes

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
Hi again Mike,
Just a clarification on imprint and boss uniques. Will the imprint system be able to give us boss uniques without killing the boss?

[mental flame]

And perhaps nemesis weapons (IE scorn sceptre) without killing nemesis?

[placid plinth]

great question for the itemization podcast today with talkative tri in a few hours

[placid plinth]

same with that one

[pine dome]

And that one
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
😁

[naive goblet]

Question: Are you ready to rummmmmblllllllllllllllllllle?

[placid plinth]

Technically the answer is no. HOWEVER, it does work exactly how you want it to. The triggered version does not cause you to stop and directly cast the ability. While you are moving and channeling warpath, Devouring Orb does automatically trigger and you Warpath is not interrupted. It even works for little hops like Void Cleave. Just to be clear though, it is required to be on your bar. Any ability which requires cooldown tracking is required to be on your bar to track cooldowns.

[placid plinth]

Bonesaw is ready.

[placid plinth]

Yes, we are updating lots of skill VFX and SFX.

[placid plinth]

Yes, USD, I'm pretty sure it uses the steam auto-exchange. I can't actually see the pricing in other currencies.

[summer sorrel]

I know Eagles kinda responded to that regarding servers but 1.1 release was 71k player vs 264k on release so that not even close to the same load.

We're the server really tested this time around especially with the load of player that will be coming to LE following PoE2 flop. Can the new server handle 300k+ player ?

[gentle thorn]

Concerning the "Rot Grip" passive, for "Time rot damage per 1% slow chance with void skills", does it work with generic chance to slow on hit, like the affix on weapons or on the new "Woe" VK passive, or only when it specifically says "chance to slow with void hit", like on the idols?
(same for time rot chance with void skills, guessing generic time rot chance would work too?)

[pine dome]

Yes

Generic chances will apply to Void Skills

[placid plinth]

Nothing really beats the real thing and we don't have 300k+ real players testing this. Since the last time we really had problems with servers on launch, we have rewritten our entire netcode, have a completely different chat system, are on a new engine version and have a whole host of other improvements. There is no way to be 100% sure that everything will go perfectly. I would be very surprised if we get 300k+ concurrent players but we aren't discounting it as a possibility and have plans for all sorts of scenarios.

[teal goblet]

im assuming the part from rot grip increasing damage for attack and cast speed, throwing speed is included right?

[hoary matrix]

Sorry about reposting the question here, just want to get some clarity so I'd know what to build. Question about the reworked passive Sword of Rahyeh: does the more ignite damage apply to existing stacks of ignite or just new ones applied during the buff?

[slender plover]

Will the Lich, Shaman and Paladin be getting their fifth skill this cycle?

[flint bloom]

no

[somber marten]

They have announced all brand new skills, the ony new skill is Rogue's Heartseeker.

[whole siren]

Does Mike's stream count for support a streamer? 😁

[placid plinth]

No, we do it to support the creators who stream our content.

[jaunty dune]

if your entire health bar is covered in endurance threshold, will orian's sun seal activate on every hit (assuming you have a symbol to consume) or never?

[slender plover]

Sorry I should specify by adding "at any point during this cycle" ergo; will they be worked on at any point.

[whole siren]

Pretty sure theres a max cap to endurance threshold?

[pine dome]

No

Well your hp

[somber marten]

We know that they plan to rework Lich next cycle, if that helps. EHG has never added a new skill in the middle of a cycle.

[jaunty dune]

no, it can go above your max health even, doesn't do anything unless you have certain uniques though

[placid plinth]

yes, it's the lowest of the 4 (but almost everything that buffs your attack speed does 3 of 4)

edit: my bad, bow doesn't count here.

[placid plinth]

We will be working on new skills while Season 2 is live. I can't say which skills and they won't be released until Season 2 is over.

[gentle thorn]

what's the 4th one? the passive lists melee, throwing and cast speed

[placid plinth]

bow

but you're right, it doesn't look at bow so it's only 3

[amber hill]

How does the new node Abyssal Fluctuation (Ele damage taken as Void) work with other forms of incoming damage conversion like Orian's Eye (void dmg taken as fire) Bane of Winter (cold dmg taken as phys) and Decayed Skull (Void dmg taken as phys)?

[somber marten]

Damage taken can only be converted once, so any damage that is already converted cannot be converted again, but any original/non-converted damage can still be converted.

[grim spindle]

Hi Mike, thanks to the team for the blog post! Are you able to explain how increased area interacts with smelters wrath charge time? Would a hypothetical 20% increased area stat reduce the maximum charge time from 2sec to 1.6seconds to get the 100% more damage effect? Or does it function differently? Thanks!

[placid plinth]

You would need a stat that said "reduced charge time" to reduce the charge time. "increased area" increases the area that the ability hits in.

[amber hill]

Hmm just wanted to confirm on this since it doesn't extend to ailments as you can convert self bleeds to ignites(gloves) and ignites to damned (axe)

[grim spindle]

Ok but at the bottom of the skill description for smelters wrath it says increased area affects charge speed. Or is that a mistake?

[summer sorrel]

Are constallations icons more clear now in the telescope? like Unique Body Armour vs Unique Armour.

[placid plinth]

nope, I'm just forgetting how things work

[placid plinth]

I don't think they were touched

[mild monolith]

Hey Mike, I just wanna say thanks for taking the time to answer questions in here. I know things must be hectic getting ready for S2 launch so its definitely appreciated.

[jaunty dune]

think this was missed

[placid plinth]

I started to look, didn't find a quick answer, got distracted, will take a look in a bit, I'm not even sure how that is triggering yet.

[placid plinth]

oh the variable is just named something weird and I dismissed it too quickly. It doesn't care if you started above your endurance threshold at all. If your endurance threshold is above your current health after you take damage, it triggers. (you do need charges, and it needs to be equipped and you need mana)

[rich basin]

Hi Mike the new node in Volatile Reversal "reclaimed action" that guarantees an echo "if it's able to." does that node work without being Void knight?

[cursive basin]

if you get more than 100% 'armor mitigation applies to damage over time', does it count?

[placid plinth]

I don't think so because they don't have echo chance from anywhere else.

I just tested it with rive as a paladin with VR and swithced to VK and it worked as a VK but not as a pally.

[hoary matrix]

Question about the reworked passive Sword of Rahyeh: does the more ignite damage apply to existing stacks of ignite or just new ones applied during the buff?

[placid plinth]

It causes all of your ignite stacks on enemies in the aura's area to deal more damage. Not the new ones.

[hoary matrix]

Awesome!

[placid plinth]

I just realized that I literally typed that word for word from the node without copying it

[ancient forge]

Regarding the twitch drops on the 17th, will the last reward(Corrupted Maelstrom) be in the store later or ONLY obtainable by a sub/gift sub?
The post says "you'll get an exclusive skill cosmetic" but I'm just not sure HOW exclusive that means.

[hoary matrix]

On second thought, wouldnt it be more intuitive if both current and new stacks applied during should get the buff? Just a suggestion, you guys know best I'm sure.

[placid plinth]

I don't think it applies over 100% but I'm having a tough time telling.

[plucky dragon]

For Rotten Grip the node only specified attack or cast speed, but the description states the lowest of attack, cast or throwing speed? Can I ask which is correct. Seems like it would be difficult to scale all 3, but 2 would be manageable

[placid plinth]

Would need to change the wording to say that it did that. I think we'll just stick to what it says it does.

[placid plinth]

attack and cast speed is typically shorthand for all 4 types of ability use speed, melee, throwing, bow and spell.

melee attack speed would indicate just melee

it is difficult to scale all 3, it's a powerful effect

[zenith chasm]

Any chances for faster release? I feel that levels of arpgs in my blood is too low.

[placid plinth]

Woulld be nice but no.

[plucky dragon]

Fair, requires some fairly weird gearing and probably incentivize some weird but interesting builds. Throw speed on rings, attack speed on gloves and cast speed on your weapon I suppose. Or something like that.

[night tusk]

Will there be changes to block on the sentinel tree it feels weird that most is gotten from investing 1 point in lots of places, because of this it only takes 8 points to get all of the block chance(from all 4 trees)

[eternal zinc]

⬆️ good question

[gentle thorn]

Provided you'd have enough ignite duration and holy aura cooldown reduction
Can this 50% more ignite damage apply twice to the same ignite, or is it limited to once per ignite?

[ancient forge]

I just read the comments on the post, some people had the same question.
seems like it's sub ONLY.
I can see the arguments for that and would probably agree too.
it's logical.

[placid plinth]

as far as I know, it is only available via the twitch sub/gift method and won't be in the store later.

[long merlin]

Hey there,

would you recommend to do a fresh and clean install or is
"keeping and upgrading" enough to jump into Season 2?

[placid plinth]

It can re-apply multiplicatively to the same ignite stack. However I think you'd need a weird amount if ignite duration and ICDRS (which has diminishing returns). I'm not sure it's possible and if it is, it would only exist for the very last tiny bit.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure what this has to do with the linked comment really but you shouldn't need to do a clean install. The steam patcher is generally pretty good. I frequently use it multiple times a day for switching staging builds and it has issues less then 1% of the time and even then a quick file verification does the trick in seconds.

[plucky kiln]

Is falconer nearfed in new patch?

[jaunty dune]

where is the auto-cast devouring orb from the abyssal rush node cast?

[grim spindle]

All good 🙂 so are you able to provide any details on that interaction of increased area and charge time/maximum charge? Smelters wrath is one of my fave skills so I’m excited to see the changes!

[jaunty dune]

can the extra spears from sierpin's fractal tree trigger the lightning bolts from divine fury?

[midnight pier]

From a development perspective, what is your approach to making an ability feel more satisfying/meaty? Is it the animation of the ability/sound fx/screen shake/all of the above?

[formal kayak]

I have a question, you can see the statistics in game, how high which attribute and other affixes are. My question would be if there is a possibility to include something like how many monsters I have killed or my highest damage?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

on you

[placid plinth]

you had it right. There is more stuff for smelter's wrath coming down the pipe that just barely didn't make it into the patch too.

[vague summit]

why u do this to me

[grim spindle]

Amazing thank you very much sir. Now even more excited for s2

[placid plinth]

because I am cruel and heartless. But really it was just OP. (it's still very viable)

[placid plinth]

all of it

[vague summit]

ok fine, but then can u buff movement on marksmen? My favorite part about falconer is the fluid movement, and I've yet to find a class that has that level of movement. I think LE definitely needs more of that.

[placid plinth]

no, it's essentially the same thing

[placid plinth]

Current stat values vs historical maximums are very different beasts. We don't track those values so they aren't available to display. If you would like us to consider adding it, please use #1210282176680169562

[formal kayak]

Ok ty

[placid plinth]

It's far too late to make changes like that for the launch of S2 if they aren't done so already. If you would ike us to consider adding something to the game, please use #1210282176680169562

[midnight pier]

Not sure where to ask this as this isnt really development but do you have a youtube link to the Woven Legend Supporter pack? (Whoever worked on these cosmetics did an awesome job btw)

[umbral bear]

I know they are visible on Steam and I saw someone linked it on reddit. I don't think we have a youtube video of them up yet.

[placid plinth]

ahh crap

I've asked if we can make one

[midnight pier]

Nice thank you. I figured you all maybe had an unlisted version of it there already.

[eternal zinc]

Will any changes happen on runemaster's skills and passives on Apr. 18th?

[full dagger]

Hi Mike, when we turn storm totem hits into storm bolts, which nodes of gathering storm are taken into consideration?

[placid plinth]

Yea, I saw that post. I thought that DJ had a good reply. The system seemed kinda like the Legendary system with extra steps to me. In order for it to be automated, it would need to be limited to a specific set of options for each and that's something we would do with an in game system.

It is a neat idea but I don't think it really fits with what most people would want to do.

Also, please read #rules 10

[umbral bear]

oh sorry

[placid plinth]

Yes, every mastery has had lots of changes. They are however coming on the 17th, not the 18th.

[potent grove]

With Vr understandably getting reworked, are you able to speak on anything relating to support builds viability/options in the new patch. Have seen the new symbols in todays post.

[pine dome]

Sry on phone

[pine dome]

Basically every that is NOT for Storm Stacks and the melee attack

@full dagger

Sorry Mike for the ping, fat finger on small phone

[manic granite]

Do we know if the 'increase melee area' from Void Splitter will interact with the last line from the Smelter's Wrath preview that mentions the scale with general increased area?

[pine dome]

Yes it does already

[placid plinth]

Traveler - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGQlcKYE7qk

[manic granite]

ok, so more mana cost, more area with void splitter, faster charge speed I understand?

[pine dome]

Yes

[midnight pier]

You're the man. Thank you.

[pine dome]

There is a video guide on yt about it specifically

[full dagger]

So only Lightning Strikes Twice, Jolting Strikes and the cold version nodes?

[pine dome]

Look at the pictures
Every thing circled in blue

If you want more info ping me in #🐺┃primalist

[eternal zinc]

Oh it's Apr. 18th for me. Time zone issue.

[placid plinth]

Not a lot to say really. You've got a few new tools in Symbols to act more aura-y than before.

[potent grove]

Cheers for the response!

[clear tendon]

Hey Mike, is Falconer going out of bounds with aerial assault fixed for season 2?

[plucky dragon]

Oh hey one other question on rot grip scaling, the Time Rot Chance with Void Skills and Slow with Void Skills only apply to those exact words, so they won't scale with global slow chance or time rot chance, yeah?

[bronze comet]

With the new unique Helm (turning Heartseeker into a Throwing Attack) for the new Marksman skill I'm wondering if there'll be more support for throwing weapons in the Marksman skill tree?

Currently the tree only really supports Bow Attacks and Throwing Attacks are better off in the other 2 trees. Especially the latter half barely has useful nodes for a Throwing build. I'd love there to be another playstyle available for Marksman besides Bows.

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

the more time rot damage per slow chance looks like it checks global slow chance, not void specific slow chance, that might actually be a typo

Only applies to void ability slow

[dark rover]

So you mean for example the new "50% slow chance" threshold on "Woe" would apply to it as it's global right?

[placid plinth]

I'm trying to confirm the intention right now but the current version that is implemented if it were to go live today, yes.

[cunning comet]

i have to ask and you can of course decline to answer. but is there by chance going to be more support for a divine bolt based build in the new sentinel tree? im itching to play a holy paladin with somthing other than smite.

[placid plinth]

No. Throwing skills are balanced around not needing to be wielding a throwing specific weapon.

[placid plinth]

I can't remember specifics off the top of my head, will have to wait for patch notes on that one

[cunning comet]

ah ok thank you for the reply 🙂

[placid plinth]

sorry for the whiplash, give me a sec here (deleted my last)

ok, yes woe will apply

sorry

[dark rover]

So that means Global "slow chance" is not trickled down to a void skill?

Nvm, you corrected 😄

[placid plinth]

got messages flying from every direction right now, trying to get stuff ready for the podcast in 25 mins too

sorry, global and void specific slow chance will work

skill specific slow chance will not work

[plucky dragon]

Thanks a ton Mike! Makes theory crafting a lot easier when we can query (bother) the devs 😉

[placid plinth]

and harder when I get confused 😉

[dark rover]

OK ok, no worries Mike, already super cool you are answering so fast!
So to recap:
Global slow + Slow with Void Skills (from idols mainly iirc), but if the void skill itself is Void, and the skill tree or skill itself has slow chance, that does not get added, or you did not mean that with "skill specific slow"

[gentle thorn]

global chance -> ok
chance with void hit -> ok
chance with a specific void skill -> not ok

[ancient forge]

So, the supporter packs looks awesome and as far as I can see the higher tier includes the lower tier items as well(super awesome)
But why not the in-game titles?
Or are they just no listed?

[dark rover]

I gotcha, although it does feel awkward, cuz if Erasing strike is still a Void skill, and one has the "Slow chance" node ... it is a void skill still .... so technically also slow chance with a void skill...

Edit: As I have learned that +stacks is technically 100% * stack amount, which would be insane indeed, so I understand why it is excluded!

[fluid axle]

Quokka mtx when?

[celest bluff]

Does Abyssal Fluctuations (you take 50% of elemental damage as void damage) node work with orian's eye? Meaning that orian's eye is convering the void damage you take to fire

[jaunty dune]

damage only ever converts once in last epoch

[jolly maple]

What time is S2 going live? I can't find a time online (only finding the date) 😦

[flint bloom]

The timer is on their website.

11am cdt

[short ingot]

If i buy Woven Vanquisher Supporter Pack can i upgrade it later to Woven Legend?

[celest bluff]

Also, in today's blog post we saw a new node, Holy Precision, with tooltip "You have an increased chance to critically strike and additional critical strike multiplier" but below that image post it says that this node only affects lightning damage yet the tooltip doesn't say anything about affecting only lightning damage. Is the tooltip wrong or not?
I would have added a snip but for some reason I am not able to, welp

[pine dome]

Currently > rn in patch 1.1.7

The values have been adjusted.... More universal

Coming in S2

[bronze comet]

Thank you for the fast reply! Sorry if I was unclear. It's not what I meant, but I appreciate the reply!

I meant passives on the skill tree. Basically all the throwing passives are in the other 2 trees and the second half of the Marksman tree has essentially no throwing support.

As such the Helmet seems counterintuitive when the entire Mastery granting access to the skill doesn't boost Throwing Attacks.

[blazing hemlock]

I mean, the helmet kills any tentative to use heartseeker as a main skill anyway, so...

[bronze comet]

yeah this further adds to the problem. you'll mainly wanna use another throwing skill -> primary damage dealer is another skill -> choose a mastery that boosts throwing damage more -> helmet obsolete (unless Heartseeker does horrendous amounts of damage with the Helmet which is of course a possibility)

Just checked. None of the Passives boost Throwing except some minor general boosts (bit of % damage and bit of health). Such a shame. Sounded like a cool idea to turn into a Throwing Marksman 🥲

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if it has titles. I am kinda surprised by it though as it's really easy to add and is weird that it's not listed.

[placid plinth]

will have to check with steve after the podcast

[thick gust]

I need a little clarification on Rot Grip, "per x% slow chance with void skills" means:

1. Only modifiers with wording exactly "chance to slow with void skills" work with it
   or
2. Any "chance to slow" modifiers work if it, but only if you use void skills

[placid plinth]

any slow chance that works for void skills. so global and void specific slow chance but not skill specific slow chance, scroll up slightly for a full discussion on it

[placid plinth]

the helmet gives a lot of great damage and scaling to it so it works very well as a passive source of damage while using another bow skill as you primary active action.

[jaunty dune]

karv said that the new woven echo for rerolling LP on uniques treats it like the item dropped again, does the CoF bonus to LP work for that system?

[valid marlin]

"Frozen Splinter" node in heartseeker mentioned "overcapped" resistance. I haven't seen this term in LE before. Does it mean only the amount over the cap? So 80% cold resistance is 5% overcapped cold resistance? Or is it just a synonym of "uncapped", which would mean that 80% cold resistance is your "uncapped" value

[desert sleet]

Yes

[pine grove]

I didn't make the interview with Tri and I can't see this elsewhere, but is the weaver faction for the league content an additional faction you can join alongside one of the core factions or do you have to choose it exclusively over those?

[crude plover]

It's in addition to the others

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

[valid marlin]

Only item factions are mutually exclusive

[serene mango]

do you have any recipes to share since you've been cooking so much with this patch

[worldly thistle]

Trying to keep my steam deck and pc synced in full offline play. Where is the keybinds file saved? cant find it.

[desert sleet]

Keybinds and gameplay/sound settings are saved in the registry. Currently, only graphics settings are saved in a file.

[worldly thistle]

Ah, thanks for the info. Ill keep those manually synced then, shouldnt be too much trouble.

[quaint spindle]

https://biteswithbri.com/bacon-and-cheese-muffins/

I fancy myself an amateur chef lol I do all the cooking - Mrs Muffin says thats why she keeps me around 😛

[trail kestrel]

i came across the "loot lizard tails item" while looking at last epoch tools, what exactly does these items do and also just recently shown in the weaver tree as a node for more chance at the "tail item" in the ongoing stream with the devs and talkativetri

[pine dome]

As of 1.1.7 (current patch)'they do nothing.
And there is no secret lizard level

[flint bloom]

they are keys (and are alreayd in the game) but no one knows exactly what they do/unlock yet

[desert sleet]

I'm told this is a perfectly natural defense mechanism that lizards sometimes employ when they are being unburdened of their loot. Eterra's best researchers assure me that losing a tail causes the lizard no pain and they are able to regrow them.

[gentle thorn]

Were you able to fix the lag when picking up too many affix shards at once?

[random ledge]

Did they explain what the lizard tails are for? It showed a chance to double tails in the weaver tree

[flint bloom]

look 3-5 messages above you

[random ledge]

My bad, got overexcited lol

[visual apex]

Rather small question: with Mana Strike, if you take the Frigid Grasp node (or use Yrun's Presence), does the flat added damage from the Mana Spark node get converted to cold as well? Or does it stay lightning damage?

[haughty wedge]

EHG Can you guarantee that there won't be a problem with duping in the new season?

[desert sleet]

You can see it a bit on the podcast stream when Karv was showing off some of the crafts, but we now condense the floating text into summaries of each type of thing looted instead of showing 1 floating text per each individual item, which helps improve performance in this area.

i.e. instead of "+1 ASDF Shard" for every single item you picked up, it now says "+35 Rare Shards" "+3 Woven Echoes" "+12,345 Gold" etc

[flint bloom]

no one can ever guarantee the future. the devs have added things in to detect and fix things quicker.

[haughty wedge]

ok then, do you gona ban this people who did it,and delete duped gold or items?because it completely destroys the trade guild

[dark frigate]

Also i dont think we had a dupe in the current season except for a visual only dupe thats gone after relog, so chances are good to not have one in s2 aswell

[haughty wedge]

was this season too,early but it was enough to kill the trade guild

[placid plinth]

I'm almost positive that there have not been any dupes or gold exploits since the last ladder/market reset.

I think the last one was very brief about 9 months ago but we've had a reset since then.

[real meadow]

is duping an issue for this game? it doesn't seem to be very online related but i might be mistaken

[hot ice]

Are there any videos on the 3D modelling or world building aspect of the game id love to see any of that

[flint bloom]

not really. there were two that both just happened to be at the start of seasons. but this was also hard to track due to legal ingame dupes with creations and lightless arbor. the 1.1 reset was dupe free as far as i can remember (and mike a few answers above)

[lean kindle]

There are currently not any way to "group" bases I want with my loot filter when I select 2 or more item type ?
I have to manually create each item type then select the base in "subtypes" ?

[placid plinth]

We don't have any development content like that available.

[hot ice]

ah thats a shame would love to see it. thanks tho <3

[desert sleet]

Currently, subtypes (bases) can only be selected when only a single item type is selected. For a loot filter, you'd need a rule per item type and for stash priority, a tab per item type. This is something we'd like to improve on in the future to provide more flexibility and control in how you can filter and organize your loot.

If you have ideas for specific features you'd like to see, feel free to post them in #1210282176680169562 as posts in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs don't get tracked long term. Community feedback helps a lot with deciding what QoL improvements to make and is always appreciated.

[valid marlin]

My question up above: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid lodge]

So this is random, but I wanted to thank the devs for this. With the Sentinel changes, you can now have 5 "automated" skills on the bar at once...and my handicapped arse is so, so happy. So yea, thank you devs ❤️

[placid plinth]

Yes, overcapped is the amount you have that is over the cap. It is not the same as uncapped.

If you have 50, then your uncapped is 50 and your overcapped is 0.

If you have 100 then your uncapped is 100 and your overcapped is 25.

(Monster penetration per zone level doesn't affect this)

[valid marlin]

So that node, as advertised, gives 10% cold pen at 175% cold res?

[gentle thorn]

you can put 2 points, so 20%

[valid marlin]

Right, thank you!

[lean kindle]

@desert sleet I currently can't add any images in suggestions related to filter to explain more precisely how to improve the loot filter, can I use imgur to share images ?

[placid plinth]

If you want to go into more depth in a suggestion, the forums might be a better place.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/feedback-and-suggestions/26

but yea, you can use imgur links

[lean kindle]

Ok I will use the forum then

[fluid axle]

"Bee on potion use" was a new exp affix shown on stream - will there be other new exp affixes coming?

[valid marlin]

So excited for the upcoming release! As I watch teasers and read notes from the interviews, everything seems to scream "power creep". This isn't meant to be a criticism. As an example, looking at stuff in this channel over the past year or two, there was pretty mild or negative response to suggestions like deterministic choice of mods from legendary crafting. I seem to recall the suggestion was that this would be a large power boost that would need to compensated for in some way.

What's your take on the power creep of the update? Is EHG just releasing the toys this time around? Is there some difficulty compensation in store? Am I overstating the power creep?

[past delta]

As a long time fan of Meteor builds in ARPGs, would love a tier set that made like a meteor shower that had one of each element meteor fall or something, also because it would look pretty 😄

[flint bloom]

#1210282176680169562

[vocal schooner]

Thinking of trying out Last Epoch. Is there a way to test it for free? Like a demo

[inner quest]

There was one back in 2023, and way back when the game was on Kickstarter; I don't think one exists for the current version of the game though. There probably should be one TBH.

[vocal schooner]

Ok, thx for the answer. Maybe I will try it out some day in the future.

[brave spoke]

I just wanted to say that the interview with Tri was great!

[placid plinth]

Yea, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[spiral summit]

Hi mike, I know this will be answered in the patch note on 11, but did you buff Forged Weapons? It's always the red-haired stepchild of minion skills in general. Thanks a lot for doing this q&a.

[placid plinth]

He already has the vod up with timestamps

[quiet grove]

Yeah i really liked the interview, as well as all the stuff that was teased.
only downside is that we'll have to wait 9 more days haha

[placid plinth]

We are definitely raising the floor of what power people have available from items. Most of that is coming from completing the new content so it's not completely free. Lots of the significant outliers in power from skill to skill are getting nerfed. It's part of an overall effort to shift player power towards items.

[red urchin]

I'm curious why armor was designed to be less effective against non physical attacks. Was it just a thematic choice that the game balance was then designed around or was there a deeper reason?

[valid marlin]

Cool response. Thanks Mike. I remember a lot of player feedback being that way even back in 0.8. A remember a popular video of someone showcasing a powerful skill wearing no gear and still completing an echo, highlighting how they felt items gave not enough a portion of player power. It's cool to see the team be considering all of this longstanding feedback

[placid plinth]

Thematic reasons and so things are different in different situations so things are more interesting. The we balanced around that.

[pine chasm]

Asking the question I know everyone had burning on their minds - when do we finally get that bee set?

[placid plinth]

When the world is ready for it.

[placid plinth]

I count at least 6 places they received minor buffs.

[spiral summit]

Huge thanks! My excitement just went over 9000

[placid plinth]

(it is possible that I missed places where they might be nerfed, I just searched the patch notes for instances of "forged weapon")

[hollow whale]

Hey @placid plinth! Solo game dev here. I have a few questions if you can answer about skill design. Do you guys have a design philosophy when it comes to skills and it's trees? Right now, I'm just stockpiling skill ideas for my games

One of the reasons I got these ideas is from your game, the very idea each skill has it's own tree makes me want to theory craft all day at work lol.

Like, I like the idea of, let's say "fireball" having so much skill expression that it ends up with its own subreddit lol. Easier said than done I know.

[ember harness]

Hi, looking for information on how the game handles scaling abilities with multiple damage types. In particular I am asking about Holy Trail on the Javelin skill tree that has the Lightning, Fire, Spell, and Damage over Time skill tags. I understand from other discord messages that the damage is split evenly between fire and lightning, and obviously elemental damage over time is going to scale the whole DoT. My question is since it has a "Fire" tag, will % increased fire damage scale only half the damage or will it apply to the entire ability?

[placid plinth]

Increased fire damage only applies to the fire portion of the skill.

[ember harness]

Thank you! Crazy fast help
Should have opened with this but I love your game. Your crafting, loot, unique/legendary system, and individual skill trees are brilliantly clever take on the ARPG genre and are very clearly player focused. Playing your game is a breath of fresh air, I'm having a blast and the 17th can't come fast enough.

[placid plinth]

That's such a broad question that it's hard to give an good answer sitting on my phone here. I think our overall design philosophy with skills can be summed up with the phrase "wouldn't it be cool if..."

When we are making a new skill tree it starts with getting every wacky and weird idea anyone and everyone on the team can think of. Trees often start with a couple hundred ideas.

[spiral summit]

Hey mike, I deeply believe that you guys have gotten your server ready for the mob. However, is it possible for you to have a server overload day, with some cheap cosmetic as reward? Just to have a quick field test.

[placid plinth]

To our experience, those rarely actually bring the numbers. We did one before 1.0 and got like 0.1% of the people.

[smoky kettle]

Can we crit success on a 4LP to put a sealed mod on it?

[desert sleet]

No, sealed affixes can never be moved to a legendary. Crit success respects all the normal limitations.

[plucky cape]

Sorry if this already has been answered, couldn't find it, but when is the shattering workbench unlocked?

[crude plover]

Merophage crying in a corner being able to get the sealed affix as a lego

[crude plover]

You have to do a woven echo for it (revealed in today's stream)

[plucky cape]

Ah! so it's a one time use everytime i complete a (related) echo?

[desert sleet]

ok I should've been more specific. The Eternity Cache always respects those rules ;p Merophage loves to make exceptions XD

[crude plover]

You get to shatter multiple items per clear

Quite a few

[plucky cape]

ah is there a set limit? and can I portal or use items from my stash in it? sorry, i'm a bit slow today 😄

[crude plover]

You can access stash while there

And there is a limit from the looks of it, but you could do quite a few

[plucky cape]

Last one, how common are the benches? would i spend an entire evening looking for one, or am i likely to run into plenty if i search for them?

[crude plover]

We don't know the rarity of woven echoes afaik. But they did show ways you could get more of ones you want via imprinting on the Weaver tree

[desert sleet]

The woven echoes are itemized so you can save them up and place a bunch to run back to back when you have sets you want to shatter. Not sure of the exact rarities, but you'll have fairly decent access to that one IIRC.

[placid plinth]

It's a good thing there are no 2 handed sword set items eh...

[lethal matrix]

which of the "ways to build an item" are distinct/exclusive? iirc champion affixes, set affixes and experimental affixes cannot go on uniques. But can they be combined with each other?
edit correction: exp affixes can go on uniques

[eternal zinc]

#❔┃ask-the-community message
Question I want to ask ⬆️

[timid fjord]

Poor Merophage is skirting the line almost as much as Karv is.
On other note, since we are getting closer to release and release of patch notes, have you been sleeping okay? No sleepless nights because of excitement?

[somber marten]

Experimental affixes can, set affixes cannot.

[pine chasm]

Experimental items can go on uniques except for Weaver's Will ones. Champ affixes are compatible with set or experimental, but I think we've been told set and experimental can't be combined.

[placid plinth]

Purple name text is required to apply to a unique. Champion affixes are always sealed. Experimental affixes don't change the name text color of exalted items.

Set affixes do always change the name text to green.

So set can't go on uniques.

WW and merophage can be different.

Something is happening to my phone, all the other answers just loaded, sorry for double posting.

[placid plinth]

This means you can grind up 10k corruption on Character A, then make a new Character B and slap this echo on and instantly be at 10k corruption on Character B, assuming both characters share their stash.

Thanks for having the answer ready for me Father Toast.

[fossil dune]

Nemesis eggs sometimes like to put a random sealed affix on leggies, it's funny. Please don't fix it, it is beyond amusing to see.

[visual apex]

I asked earlier but I didn't see an answer: with Mana Strike, if you take the Frigid Grasp node (or use Yrun's Presence), does the flat added damage from the Mana Spark node get converted to cold as well? Or does it stay lightning damage?

[placid plinth]

yes, it gets converted to cold

[visual apex]

eeeeexcellent, thanks!

[fallen merlin]

Do you want to male the forged Weapons into its own Build or are there just complimentary to other skills and are not meant to do the main Damage in the Build. For example something like animate Weapon in poe1

[placid plinth]

Since there isn't a skill that is "Summon Forged Weapon", they will always be tied to some other ability and will need to share the spotlight in some way. You can make builds where it is the central component. I'm testing some scene transitions on a character that is focused around Forged Weapons right now actually.

[spiral summit]

Mike, 2 questions:

1. is there a reason why there's no Report Player button for chat? I would assume that without moderation of any kind, even the nicest chat could get ruined by somebody out there.
2. also is there a reason why you guys don't do the numbers thing for names? Like poe2 has stated that the reason is for trading, however in this game, trading is in auction house, so you don't need to specify a name accurately

[placid plinth]

We do chat reporting through our support site. We also have moderators in chat who frequently take action. I banned someone last month who didn't believe I was staff even though I have a literal EHG image tag in front of my name. The appeal was literally saying that they didn't think I was a mod.

Our names aren't game wide exclusive so we don't need it.

[ancient forge]

This might be, and probably should be, low on the priority list, but I wanna ask if there are any plans on implementing something so the Steam friend list displays your level or what you're doing in any way like some other games do? 🙂

[mighty totem]

After watching the interview about itemization, I'm a little bit concerned about the amount of new option added with the new Cycle. Will there be a summary of these added in the in game guide for example ? Or is it knowledge you think is to be acquired by following the content creators, reading wikis and forums ?
If I take for example your friends in the ARPG space, in POE 1 at one point crafting was so confusing there was a need for the website craftofexile to exist and let us simulate stuff and see all the way to craft laid out in front of us. LE is far from this confusing state but I'm just being preemptive I guess ?

[desert sleet]

Woven echoes have a hammer icon in the tab indicating if they contain a craft and there is a brief description of what craft it is mentioned in the tooltip. Each of the crafts also provides access to the stash from within the woven echo so you don't need to proactively carry the items you want to craft in your inventory.

[mighty totem]

I see, Woven echoes are item we have in a separate inventory tab right ? So we'll come across them more often as we play :) Since I haven't played for a year or so, it felt a bit overwhelming to see all these new stuff that will probably make sense in the flow of the game
thank you

[fallen merlin]

Wow , what a fast reply! Thanks. Really hyped to try that Build in the new Season!

[wild palm]

• is it intended inside your Stash, that you run away from your stash when click around in your "quickview"?

i transfered all my season1.0 stuff to normal league... it was like 40-50 stashpages full of stuff and took me around an hour and it made me go crazy running away from my stash over and over because some elements in the quickview seem to be click trough?

-> can you make characters lock movement while in stash please?

(i think it is because of windowed mode, and clicking on another monitor and clicking back into the game even tho there is almost no space to click for movement, it still moves you away from your stash as if there was no ui open)
but also happens without cliccing on another monitor (just had it happen again)

[icy stratus]

Do all the Echo reward exchange nodes on the Weaver Tree add up? As in, can I just get rid of all the rewards I don't like and have every echo reward drop experience tomes or do multiple selected exchange nodes actually override each other? (e.g. I get both Keyless exchange - no Arena key rewards, and Rewritten reality - no glyph rewards; does this mean that I can actually get both Arena and Glyph rewards anyway if the Keyless exchange ditches Arena key, but gives me a glyph and vice versa?)

[old gale]

hi all, devs. Just a question please. Is there any way to report missing translations (french and english on the same gears, it's disturbing a little), i don't know if there's a team for this, should be report as a "bug"? It's not only gears (not all of them), it's also some parts of the UI, some maps that have english names. Thanks a lot and good day all of you.

[amber hill]

They had mentioned during the interview you can't force only 1 reward type

[tranquil hedge]

hi Devs,thanks for amazing game. Is it possible to make all materials go directly to material storage instead of manually clicking "Deposit to Storage" Also possible to auto sort and show the inventory to the player each time player invokes the inventory UI by the I button? This way we don't need to manually sort and manually press deposit material. I understand sorting might cause a delay or loading. Thanks

[timid fjord]

mats going straight to storage when you pick them up is coming with season 2.

[spiral summit]

Any reasons for the dungeon keys not stacking?

[flat rain]

they will after 17 on season 2 😄

Will patch note spoil info about how to get tier 7 set affix or this magic is what EHG leave us to reveal by ourselves?

[haughty stump]

Hello, are single player / offline cosmetics in 1.2 ?

[crude plover]

Rune of havoc

[serene mango]

what's the intended outcome if you imprint legendary items? is it just looking at the unique or how do the legendary affixes play into that system

[flint bloom]

Looks at everything from what karv said in the podcast. Base type of the legendary(assuming it can drop like a bone amulet could but a dragon heart wouldnt), the unique its on, the affixes that are slammed on it

[clever roost]

I just saw your Podcast with Talktative Tri and noticed that it is still the case that when you click on an interactable (for example the Woven Enchanter), your character still moves to the position you clicked at instead of just opening the desired menu if in range already. I assume this also still affects looting items and clicking boxes (e.g: character moves into or around the box while opening it instead of standing still if already in range) is this desired behaviour by design?

[low peak]

Honest question: is there a design or artistic reason why all MTX wings released are so small? Personally, the design of some of them would look way better if they were like 2x bigger (maybe a variation?)

[regal stratus]

can julra's stardial go back to 0 lp?

[eternal zinc]

because these rings can't let our characters flying

[buoyant ibex]

While watching the interview with Talkative Tri, when Bestiary came up, i started wondering if it would be possible to have indicators beside mods in Item Filter Affix selection screen? So we dont have to jump between Forge/Wiki to check what affixes can be put on which item type? At the moment its quite annoying to have to switch between wiki and game to check what affixes can go on a ring for example instead having that information in Item Filter itself.

[candid cosmos]

apologies if this was explained somewhere and i missed it but if i have a set which contains a ring or a one handed weapon and i equip two rings or one handed weapons made using the same set shard without equipping other parts of the set (i.e. two reforged ferebor's chisel but no reforged fefebor's presence) will the game count this as two set items or will it know my duplicate reforged items came from the same part and count them as only one?

[pine dome]

It will count as equipping the items sets twice > you only get 1 part of the set bonus.
Also it wasn't clear in your question, but you can only apply the set shard to the same base type

[river flume]

Hi!
Are there some plans, such as increased critical success, when we choose to “let fate decide” ,in the future?

[primal girder]

Hello, I come as representative of world to say world is ready.

Is there a particular skill/design space (other than bee) you're most excited to explore with sets being back on the table?

[cursive basin]

when you put 0 FP items into the imprinting weavers tree to 'drop items with similar affixes', will that FP (forging potential) be full again on the imprinted drop?

[neat carbon]

is there qol stuff in COF this upcoming s2? i really like the SSF here in LE but i play only 1 char per season, i feel bad if i get some OP gear in different build/class that i cant use of.

[icy stratus]

Short answer, yes; long answer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyNqI7qLup8

[placid plinth]

I'm not actually sure about this. I think it rolls the forging potentially from scratch.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure sets cause this but I'd really like to attach specializable skills to an item.

[placid plinth]

No but you can always put it in #1210282176680169562 . It's a very very very low chance.

[placid plinth]

It is probably possible

[placid plinth]

Yes, only way is via the new woven echo

[cursive basin]

so do 'imprinted items' drop similar tier affixes too? for example, if you tried to imprint something with 2 T7's on it, would the imprinted have a high chance of dropping the same two T7's? or are the tiers totally random?

[placid plinth]

It's as simple as us liking it this way. You can always drop a #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider a change.

[placid plinth]

Wouldn't hate it if it stopped a little farther away. Networking constraints cause uncertainty in positioning in certain situations that can cause issues.

[placid plinth]

It's a bug, please report it using the in game bug reporting tool.

[placid plinth]

This is a bug, please use the in game bug reporting tool to report it so we have it in our tracking system.

Good suggestion, please use #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

They get added at a medium pace gradually. Seeing it all at once like on the reveal stream can be a little overwhelming. I think the flow works pretty well and we did add some new game guide entries.

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of but good #1210282176680169562

[wild palm]

i wouldve, but i don't have rights to post on #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

It does try to give you similar tiers. Sometimes it can change the tiers, sometimes it can change the affixes, sometimes it can change both, sometimes it can change neither.

[placid plinth]

Read the top post there for instructions on how to post in it.

[buoyant ibex]

That would be amazing. Its a small thing but in my opinion makes making filters much more fluid and intuitive.

[mighty totem]

Yes that's exactly how I felt during the show but seems like you planned for it, again thanks for taking the time to answer.

[void vale]

what about drop sound for lootfilter? can we have that?

[pulsar heath]

I have a question — I noticed that there are a lot of dodge effect skins recently. Would it be possible to add an option to randomly use a different dodge effect skin each time we dodge? I think that would make the experience even more fun and dynamic!

About pets — we have the adorable capybara and other cool ones, but from the videos I’ve seen, they mostly just stand still and follow the player. Why not give them more animations? For example:
Idle animations when they’re standing still
Reactions or interactions based on the player’s actions (like using a skill or opening a chest)
Unique animations when a filtered item (e.g. red tier) drops nearby
It would really bring them to life and add more personality to each pet!

[cursive basin]

will item drop prophecies be affected by weavers imprints? for example a prophecy that states 'drop x amount of exalted bows after killing a boss'. when you kill the boss, and you have bows that are on the imprinting weavers tree, will those bows that dropped from the prophecy have a higher chance to be similar to the imprint item?

[pine dome]

#1210282176680169562 everything is possible

[round vessel]

Are there any improvements to the performance planned? LE WQHD hits my pc harder than some current titles on 4K

[eternal zinc]

Good morning, Mike, grab your coffee today? Oh I want to know which one do your prefer, tea or coffee, and why.

[noble sandal]

Can the nemesis system be added into legacy once the season is over?

[flint bloom]

its already there?

[humble axle]

Good morning. i hope this doesn't come off of abrasive or impolite. I'm not sure if it can be properly stated but i was wondering if the games direction (in general) is going to align more so towards the casual gamer. This question is stemming from the recent dev/stream talk about season two. I'm not here to complain or say anything is bad and i hope that this question does not read that way. I was just left with the impression that content is potentially going towards a casual or "burst" player (someone who picks the game up plays all day every day then drops it until new content comes again). For myself personally build Varity and creation and having a chase of hard to get "BIS" item is important and the ease of ability to create "BIS" dictates how much joy i receive from creating them. And how much i enjoy spending time towards acquiring the items needed. Additionally, I don't know if every dev has a special color associated to there discord name or not. previously i have had replies from discord members with non-specific roles reply to questions i have asked here. Which has made things a little confusing for me when that happens, but if possible as i would like a dev's opinion(doesn't matter which one).

[noble sandal]

not sure if that's an answer or another question?

[bold wedge]

Mods are purple and EHG team is darker yellow.

[flint bloom]

nemesis is already in legacy. what you are asking for already exists. so i am confused on why you are asking?

[noble sandal]

Sorry I've been away from LE for a while, RL sucks.

[bold wedge]

Are the new season 2 suppporter packs upgradeable from the previous tier? It looks like each one gives more than the previous. Just was unclear

[pine mural]

Dear EHG team, sorry if this question has already been asked, are CoF and Woven Echo factions separate? can I be in CoF and Woven Echo at the same time?

Second question if you don't mind, will the items obtained in Woven Echo be tied to the faction like other factions?

[pine dome]

1. Yes
2. No Woven Tag like you can have for CoF tagged item

CoF and MG are the items Factions
They are mutually exclusive.
The others factions (Forgotten Knights and Woven) are in different categories

Imagine it like this
You have to pick at least one faction per category
A. CoF or MG
B. Forgotten Knight
C. Woven

[cursive basin]

will item drop prophecies be affected by weavers item imprinting mechanics? for example , if you have a 'exalted bow drop' prophecy, and that prophecy drops bows, will that bow be likely to be similar to the item you have on imprint?

[pine mural]

@pine domethank you very much.

[placid plinth]

If you'd like us to consider making a change, please use #1210282176680169562 and we will take a look.

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure those two things don't see each other. The generic increases from CoF do apply though.

[placid plinth]

I don't drink cafiene in the morning. Sometimes have some herbal tea if I have a sore throat.

[eternal zinc]

oh ohh ohhhhh? Rare to see

[serene mango]

can we have a rough estimate what the factor on uberoths hp is compared to normal one

[placid plinth]

I understand the concern. I think that there is enough new depth and content available that you'll see the item gap between more casual/burst players and long term grinding be smaller. There is still plenty of room for long tail advancement. A lot of the tools we're adding will bring up the item floor for a lot of players who make it to very late game content. I think these changes will increase the available builds that people can play and thrive with.

[placid plinth]

They are not upgradable. The higher tiers do grant the items from the lower tiers.

[placid plinth]

like a lot lot more

[steady spindle]

How can I say in a question, that I'm disappointed? 🙂
I thought you are a good coffee person!

[pine chasm]

If you select the item type condition first, then when you add an affix condition it does have bright red text in the filter UI telling you which affixes cannot appear on the selected type.

[placid plinth]

I save my caffeine budget for when I really need it. It's really effective if you don't drink it every day.

[storm monolith]

Will the shaman's Storm Totem damage be reviewed?

[jaunty dune]

we've heard the estimation for time to kill uber aberroth... what's the estimation on time to figure out what lizard tails are for?

[crude plover]

Does the lp reroll woven echo scale with corruption?

[placid plinth]

[placid plinth]

good question, not sure (I would expect it to slightly)

[placid plinth]

only 2 days until patch notes

[flint coral]

Will you guys make a post showcasing the new engine update ?

[somber marten]

The update already happened.

[runic shell]

so now that we have the possibility to craft set items it seems important to have a loot filter rule for open affix/open suffix in the loot filter. Will it be added?

[placid plinth]

We are not adding it to Season 2, if you would like us to consider it, please use #1210282176680169562

[unkempt nacelle]

Game design question: It currently seems like LE tends to reward complicated builds over simple ones by having really powerful modifier nodes in skill trees. E.g. the best way to use Gathering Storm is to trigger the storm bolts with other skills, the best uses for Tempest Strike are disabling all the tempests or make it a totem or buff your pets. The downside is that the narrative fantasy promised by the base skill often winds up underpowered and not feeling good. E.g. the narrative fantasy of Gathering Storm is to whack things to summon a storm, the narrative fantasy of Tempest Strike is to whack things to summon tempests, but those builds feel bad because they don't do anywhere near as much damage. Is this something that is on EHG's radar? Is this a deliberate design choice to have complicated=damage, or is it just that complicated builds are high variance and so the best builds are usually complicated? (Sorry, this would probably be a better stream question but I don't attend those, feel free to queue it for stream as I do watch the recaps)

[eternal zinc]

What can we do with lizard tails we collected?

[plucky cape]

Are there any new in game tutorials that come with the new benches?

[gentle thorn]

Can the "auto" devouring orbs from the new node still proc echo, or it needs a direct use from a player input?

[crude plover]

Feel like this might be selection bias of that being the case for those skills maybe, but not all skills. There's plenty of skills where you just use that skill in a straight forward fashion and that's the way to do the most damage with it

[desert sleet]

All of the new crafting benches have help text that can be viewed by holding alt or navigating to it with a controller. This will show some flyouts with much more detail about specifically how the craft works.

[plucky cape]

Thank god

[thick idol]

so will marksman multishot have any changes?

[jaunty dune]

with the new 'elecoe's innovation' unique belt, if you use a mad alchemists ladle does the crit also apply to the mana gain it grants?

[placid plinth]

The answer to that question for the vast majority of skills is yes. I'm struggling to think of an argument for any skills not having any changes given the breath of changes in the itemization systems. Full patch notes on the 11th

[placid plinth]

Not sure what that is

[placid plinth]

I think echoing still requires direct use. I'd have to double check but it's the same as any triggered ability is now.

[quartz nimbus]

Will the trade fraction be any less of a grind to trade early on? It sucks not being able to trade when leveling for better leveling uniques.

[placid plinth]

The good ol' depth vs complexity issue is frequently considered and we will often add in options targeted at more straight forward options. There are often combinations that players find that we never even considered. We try really hard to make thematically similar and natural options powerful so that players are able to just take nodes and items that match as they come across them and do reasonably well. Pushing into the tippy top of min/maxing will probably always require some careful planning with as many options as we already have.

[placid plinth]

There aren't huge shifts in the MG progression curves. This is on our radar. The item factions don't really even appear until you're almost through the campaign and we do like that they have a gradual introduction.

[placid plinth]

mana on potion use can't crit

[plucky cape]

So if I understood correctly, the majority of woven echoes and new benches will be encountered in early monoliths?

[clear galleon]

Heyo mike: I'm so damn excited this is literally looking like a brand new game. Had one questions after reading the post today. Seeing lots of emphasis on HP regen and potion use. I like this step in the right direction, but is Leech going to be getting touched at all? Leech is extremely powerful kind of renders pots/hp regen obsolete for a lot of builds.

[placid plinth]

If you look at a screenshot from the stream yesterday that shows all of them in the inventory. They are broken up into columns with gaps between the sections. The ones on the left are more common and easier to find early. The ones one the right are more rare and will often require minimum corruption to do which requires empowered.

You can see the ones with a little hammer icon, those are all the crafting rewards.

[placid plinth]

The patch nodes are so massive that I've probably forgotten more about them than I know. I'm sure there is something in there regarding leech in some way somewhere. We'll just have to wait 2 more days to find out the details.

[verbal pine]

is there going to be black hole technology (unqiue) this season or down the line

[placid plinth]

Black Hole is waiting for its time to shine.

[timid fjord]

We got favourite weaver tree nodes yesterday from participating EHG members, have you found your favourite Mike? And all other EHG devs who want to answer 😄

[jaunty dune]

black holes can't shine, they suck in even light. does this mean it will never get it's time to shine?

[placid plinth]

My fav's are the imprint nodes.

[void vale]

can we get sound effect on lootfilter?

[placid plinth]

That was kinda the joke but no, we have a specific plan for it. Kinda like how I've been saying we have had a plan for set items for a long time now.

[placid plinth]

Maybe, please use #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider it.

[gentle thorn]

Thank you. That's too bad, as it means num lock Devouring Orb would likely be better than using the new auto node

[opaque falcon]

Moving Endurance Threshold to only the belt seems like a questionable decision seeing as it is 1 of 2 slots that can roll both % health and hybrid health. What is the thought process behind that change?

It is also competing with Cooldown which is usually a very popular stat too.

[plucky cape]

So how exactly does memory amber work? is it like a currency to reroll the idols?

[plucky dragon]

Followup on Devouring Orb autocast, is it instant speed? I.e. will it interrupt channeled warpath

[placid plinth]

No, and no. It's not instant but the triggered version doesn't require casting.

(it works the way you want it to)

[lunar pond]

I know I should wait for patch notes, but please say cinder strike didn't get forgotten 👀 (1000% damage effectiveness, yes :D )

[scenic basin]

sound effects for loot filter please?

[placid plinth]

I need a reaction I can do that's just "please search for this because someone just asked it"

[desert sleet]

You'll get memory amber as you clear tombs and cemeteries. It's a cool floating glowy shard thing that will drop and you pick up like gold by just walking near it. It's basically the favor of the new faction so looting it contributes to ranking up and is stash-wide. It's used for various things with the new faction such as respeccing the weaver tree or re-enchanting idols.

[somber marten]

In the current season using Fury leap in the winter wood areas could lead to some very whacky interactions (like jumping hundreds of feet to the forest below). Have these been addressed in season 2? 😄

[placid plinth]

We did put some more access to it in non-itemized places for situations that it is thematically appropreate so you'll have similar access easier.

Yup, and I've been working on getting it in. The way you can help is by posting in #1210282176680169562 . Posting about it here does nothing.

Do Cocooned Uniques respect CoF's increased chance for uniques to have LP?

[opaque adder]

I have a question regarding 'Woven Potential' reforge mechanic presented in the last Podcast and what it means for Julra specific items that are guaranteed to roll with at least 1LP. Will we be able to reroll the same 'Julra's Stardial' ring infinitly untill it rolls the LP we are satisfied with?

[zenith ginkgo]

Does the EHG team have internal gameplay competitions?

[crisp jungle]

if this is the sole source of endurance threshold craftable on gear, perhaps making it a belt prefix might alleviate some issues, since belt prefixes are not very competitive, while suffixes are extremely so.

[placid plinth]

I thought we already made that change? Do you have a source?

[whole siren]

The only issue with that is why would you not just take a crafted belt with preferred main stat, endurance threshold, hybrid health and health?

[placid plinth]

I think so but I think that's because the item is technically already defined when it drops.

[placid plinth]

It uses the system the same as any other. It just initially drops with min 1LP. The item itself can have 0LP.

[placid plinth]

drop it in #1210282176680169562

[jaunty dune]

I know the game have offline mode but given what happens when the game launched last year. Are you expecting a large number of logins on the 17th? If so, was anything done or planning on doing to mitigate any overload on the servers for a better and smooth launch on the 17th?

Is this confirmation that we're getting a new quasar node/unique? 👀

[placid plinth]

It's confirmation that we're still looking for an oven big enough to cook it in.

[serene mango]

how do you want memory amber to be balanced gain/spend wise? should we always have an abundance or can we get bottlenecked if we run too many woven echoes

[slim flume]

Have you looked at/tested possible issues with duping so that the risk of the economy being ruined in the first week is as low as possible? I'm a trading only player and I wouldn't want the economy not be "ruined" again early

[placid plinth]

Since you get memory amber and woven echoes from the same location at base, you'll probably be keeping up at a fairly consistent rate. If it's off, we'll adjust it. It is possible to run out of memory amber but I haven't seen a ton of feedback that it's a bottleneck or anything like that.

[placid plinth]

Yes. The most recent Season at no point had any duping issues. We have since improved our prevention, detection, tracking and resolution tools just in case. It'll never be guaranteed 100% perfect but we take it very seriously and are prepared to take action.

Is there a way in game to set what tree / skill upgrades you are planning to get? If there isn't, is there any plan to add some kind of build planning into the game itself? Just wondering because hopping back and forth between the planner can be a bit awkward at times.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure what you're referencing, so much happening right now. I wouldn't read too much into it. Patch notes in 2 days.

[placid plinth]

No but it would be very welcome in #1210282176680169562

[worthy mirage]

these are the longest two days this year so far, only to be surpassed by the 2 days and another 2 days and yet another 2 days afterwards until the patch is actually live

[lusty haven]

Mostly a follow up to this question;

Is there any tools / projects that the team is extremely against? or do players have somewhat free reign in terms of what they want to achieve so long as they're not egregiously bad, as you mentioned you know the datamined websites existed, and even told players whom to contact for more info, so I am just wondering where the line is drawn when it comes to these sort of fan projects & which the team don't want to exist for legal/integrity/what have you reasons

[placid plinth]

@glass thorn just to follow up on my guess of empowered reaching. I was extremely mega super underestimating the volume of players that reach empowered by a lot. I'm not sure if we are going to share the exact data or not but I will say I was super mega low.

[glass thorn]

Thats understandable, thank you for looking into it! ❤️

[placid plinth]

I'm trying to get it shared haha

[tawdry pilot]

When I reroll unique in Woven Offering with item bought on MG does rerroled item gets MG tag or not?

[placid plinth]

This isn't an exhaustive list of things we would be against but the sort of stuff would be things which inject right into the game. Things that run in the game window.

Things which depend on or react to the state of the game are banned. So if the tool shows extra info when a tooltip is on screen, that is depending on and reacting to the state of the game. Banned.

I haven't seen a website that has info about the game which you can go look up and plug numbers into to test stuff that runs up against issues. I personally am not a huge fan of going too deep into the speadsheets for my own gameplay but I know lots of people like that too and it's totally fine.

[placid plinth]

It shouldn't be able to remove tags.

[tawdry pilot]

Sacrificed item have MG tag, and item I reroll dont have one. What then?

[placid plinth]

I would assume nothing

I don't think there is any way to remove tags from items and I think the only way to add tags is to be interacting with the items in a way that gives you a bonus from the faction.

[lusty haven]

So tl;dr, if does X based on Y in game, it's probably a no-no, or anything that is added to the game after runtime, also a no-no.

But also, Path of Epoch has a nice ring to it...
Last Building?

Ty for the answer, big fan

[placid plinth]

a path of building equivilant in LE wouldn't be breaking the rules

last epoch tools is getting pretty darn close (not to breaking the rules but to having similar functionality as PoB)

[lusty haven]

Yeah it was mostly a comment about that last point; which would be super fun if it existed, but my god would it be a massive undertaking because from what i've seen of this game thus far, there's a considerable amount of conditionals that this game has lmao

[onyx pewter]

Been asked probably, but character customization & gender lock removal would bring immense joy to me in LE. Waiting patiently for it 🤟

@flint bloom No permission to post sadly.

[honest spoke]

I have a question about the "Divine Throws" node in the **Javelin **skill: does the change of tag from "Physical" to "Ligthning" removes the effect of "+1 to Level of Physical Skills" of the Thorn Slinger belt?

[gentle thorn]

the biggest issue about that would be to handle bugs, as too many times the text and the in-game behaviour isnt matching (hopefully better in season 2)

[pine dome]

Read the first post. It explain how to post in there.
Tldr > pick a category first, then add your comment on it

[placid plinth]

yes, thorn slinger only gives +skill to physical skills, if you've removed the physical tag, it's not a physical skill

[jaunty dune]

I think a lot of players would be interested in knowing! Even if its just a rough approximation it's interesting to know how the game is consumed

[placid plinth]

rough estimate, a lot more than 1%

the really cool part of the data is that once players make it past half of the harbingers, they usually finish all 10

[honest spoke]

what about percent of players who downed aberroth at least once?

[runic shell]

are the data a bit skewed given that the current cycle had a duration of 9 month, or the data are normalized to what a cycle should be (3-5 months)?

[placid plinth]

🤐

[worthy mirage]

so harbinger #5 is the true gatekeeper of LE endgame

[hollow agate]

Maybe because the 6th rewards of faction is not good enough

[worthy mirage]

do you have stats on which of the ten harbingers people usually choose as their number 5 to kill? Who is the ultimate destroyer of hope and will to prevail? Maybe it should have been named the void's champion instead of aberroth!

[placid plinth]

Does the new Bladestorm node on Multistrike that allows swords to all hit a single target also apply the Smites of Hallowed Arsenal?

[red urchin]

does "Movement skills are able to “shortcut” through corners and short gaps more than before" from today's article mean that they can go through small walls as well assuming there is a walkable path that is within the length parameters (60 meters for fury leap was the example)

also does this change apply to movement skills that aren't jumps or teleports such as Evade and Shift?

[vast hill]

Good god EHG you all have cooked with this new season! Time to book in my leave.

[cunning comet]

all good if you cant answer this one. but any idea if the last epoch planner or maxroll build planners will be updated before launch? i know they got updated before season 1 launched so people could start theory crafting

[tidal willow]

Did we get a teaser/answer, whether we can move set shard affixes onto legendaries?

[flint bloom]

you cannot

Just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck with your upcoming patch! Its such a tease I am literally itching to play. Manifesting good fortune for your company so you can keep putting out absolutely nuclear updates/ seasons until the end of time!❤️

[somber cedar]

Is it planned to visualize e.g. cloves on character model?

[placid plinth]

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

[placid plinth]

They have people who are in the CT program so they have access to early versions of the game. They can't release any information that is not revealed without breaking their NDA. Patch notes go live on the 11th.

[placid plinth]

it should affect all movement skills but I'm not sure the extent of the ultra short ones like that

[solemn fractal]

Super excited for season 2! I have a question that I'm not really sure can be answered directly, but I'll try it anyway. My favorite thing in any game is to play more of a support role. I don't mean heals, though small heals are fine, too. I mean actually supporting. Things like giving my party members buffs, contributing more to the side of CCing mobs, or other sorts of utility-focused skills. Right now there are SOME support skills, but are there any plans in the future to have a Mastery that focuses more on aiding allies instead of just boosting its own damage? Thanks!

[placid plinth]

I really want to say yes but it sounds really OP. I think we might have done something to that node maybe.

[somber cedar]

In game right now. Equipping gloves and still have bare hands, gloves not showing on char. Work in progress?

[bleak pasture]

just let it happen 😊 , and thank you for the response

[placid plinth]

I don't think we are super interested in making a whole mastery really focus around specifically support roles. We have been adding in more support options for Paladin and Warlock as they are probably the most support leaning options available at the moment. The issue with a whole mastery focused on support is that it is kinda unplayable in single player. We will continue to add more support options to the game though.

[placid plinth]

ahh, gloves, sorry I was trying to figure out what cloves was and I just didn't make the jump (although it seems obvious now).

The more prominent visual options are much higher on the list but we are adding more and more 3D gear models to match 2D art as we go.

[solemn fractal]

Totally understandable. There ARE some workarounds, but obviously I'm not too sure how well they would work or the complications of that sort of stuff on the backend. (For example, in Lost Ark supports are given a damage bonus when they are not in a party.) Thanks for the response, though. And thanks for all the hard work!

[placid plinth]

aaaaand I just go DM'd some pictures of new gloves that are being worked on.

[somber cedar]

Yeah, sorry for wrong spelling. Thanks for Info. Looking forward for patch and achievements. 😉

[placid plinth]

There are no achievements coming in Season 2.

[somber cedar]

I know. but some day, arent they?

As well as beeing able to compare both equipped rings with one in the inventory.

[placid plinth]

That's in season 2

[somber cedar]

Cool! 😃

[molten elk]

how does the new multistrike node that costs mana to strike a single target interact with -3 mana cost to melee skills on relics? does it mean it costs 0 or does that implicit not apply to nodes in the tree?

[placid plinth]

It applies to the initial use of the ability, the extra hits are charging an extra cost that is not the ability use cost and is unaffected. It's a mana hungry node.

[solemn tundra]

On idols the Role "#% chance on 10 or more mana spent to cast lightnting at a nearby enemy" I have 2 questions
1.) If this goes above 100% what happens?
2.) does this cast storm bolt from gathering storm?

[pine chasm]

1. It's effectively capped at 100%
2. Yes

[solemn tundra]

Bet ty

[solemn tundra]

Question 3.) Does that lighting per 10 mana have a cooldown or will it always go off when 10 mana is spent?

[pine chasm]

No cooldown, but the mana spent does have to be from a direct skill usage

[solemn tundra]

Oh that is tragic

[gleaming sinew]

I cannot wait this new season. Im so hype. Dev of this game are genius and i really hope the server will be good because a lot of people can leave the game if they had a bad experience and never come back. I really think last epoch deserve to be more popular ❤️

[mellow python]

When I see disintegrate in news it was cool but after reading more and finding it's have always been since the release of this skill that it's only the lightning part that receive all love and fire part scale very badly I'm very disgusted but those dev that only buff part that is already overpowered...

[unkempt nacelle]

How are y'all feeling these days about giving skills reduced ailment application coefficients? That's something that warpath and spirit thorns both have, I believe, but those are older skills, and Frost Claw very notably does not have an ailment application penalty, even if you make it shotgun with Volley of Glass. Probably something I should ask after the patch notes drop, but I've been meaning to ask this for ages.

[gentle thorn]

wait for the full patch notes in 2 days. this was only a small preview

[regal stratus]

Does this mean we can quick equip the second ring with a key combination also?

[sturdy root]

Does the brewmasters buckle endurance threshold modifier work similar to jungle queen more evasion, where it stacks with potion uses?

[mellow notch]

In the next season, how will I access The Great Bridge, Oerden’s Watch, Rune Prison Complex?

[jaunty dune]

there is a CoF rank reward that grants a chance at doubled rewards in monolith echoes and also a weaver tree node with a similar effect.

if both of these proc on the same do they both just double the original reward, leading to you receiving 3x the rewards, or work together and give you 4x the reward?

[placid plinth]

No

[desert sleet]

I double checked the code and it appears to be multiplicative. If both CoF and Weaver bonuses procced at the same time, then I would expect 4x the echo rewards to drop.

[placid plinth]

Good, we use it in the skills you mentioned.

[placid plinth]

They are woven echoes so you'll have to find them from drops or buy them from the Weaver faction with memory amber or get them in the reroll echo reward.

[placid plinth]

I'd have to check the code to be sure but with the way it is worded it is very unlikely.

[random hedge]

Will mob density be increasing across the board, or is there another way EHG is planning to provide an increased density option?

[timid fjord]

If I for some reason decided to imprint personal item will it completely ignore the personal affix, also since personal items have slightly different yellow hue than rare items what would it count as the items rarity when generating drops from imprint?

[obtuse latch]

Hello devs! Really looking forward to the patch! Is there any update about performance or game optimization for this patch? Could you share any details about that? I was a little disappointed that none of the reveals and updates so far mentioned anything about performance.

[lone otter]

I am stoked for the patch i was super let down with a diff game or two.. and struggling to find things to play LoL. But i really hope that y'all see more then 400k players would be an awesome achievement for y'all and with all the buzz going on i for see that possibly happening for y'all

[pine chasm]

Fret not, see here: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid plinth]

Tombs and cemeteries generally have higher monster density.

[placid plinth]

Personal affixes can't be generated any other way than how they drop now.

[sturdy ridge]

I saw the new potion belt for rogue you showed and i remember you Mike talking about potion critting in D2 🙂

[timid fjord]

In that case how would imprint treat personal items, if they even can be placed as imprint? For example if I placed Andinai's poignard dagger as imprint would it look at it as magic poignard with two tier 3 affixes: melee attack speed and chance to bleed on hit (since it always come with those alongside its personal affix).

[placid plinth]

It'll chaos the affix so it is a 3 affix item but it's just not that affix.

[charred herald]

Mike, I'm a newer content creator that didn't have the audience for LE Creator program at launch but have grown since then, is there any update on when EHG will be looking at creators joining the program again?

Ive been searching but i couldnt find anything about it, i think i read something about the toogle/Autocast/numlock trick being integrated to the game, and in the interview i heard karv talking about the void knight autobomber.

Is the auto cast going to be implemented in game for controller/keyboard with out numpad in the game for season 2?

edit: srry if its been answered and i couldnt find it. Thanks in adv

[tawdry pilot]

I have question, what if I have 2 character. I farmed red ring with CoF and it have CoF tag, can I imprint it on weavers tree on my second MG character? Will items dropped by this mechanic have CoF tag or not tag at all?

[jaunty dune]

And can you use it to reroll other copies? What happens to the cof tag when you reroll the lp?

[eternal zinc]

I don't know it's closed 😮

[maiden brook]

Hi mike, i know patch notes aren't far away but i remember you being in favour of this when i asked about it in one of your dev streams: is eterra's blessing getting an effect on a node that allows it to prioritise/auto target companions in season 2?

[pine dome]

The numlock is smth EHG can't control. Also they think if you numlock a skill, the design is great. They would like to make you think when you use the skill.
However they are okay to add some automation inside the skill tree like we are going to have with Devouring Orb

Or you can find it in Enchant Weapon too

[timid fjord]

What shape are our characters hitboxes? Are we cube, pyramid etc.?
And is there anything in game that changes our hitbox (druid transforms came to mind)

[plucky cape]

Does item level matter for disssasembling sets for shards? 🙂

[full dagger]

Hi Mike, theres a node of spirit plague (acolyte) that allows you to apply poison, do they get the benefit of the more damage multipliers we have in the tree?

[unkempt nacelle]

just tested this. plague dealt 60 damage per tick to targets after spreading regardless of whether I was specced into Scourge for 75% more damage. could be changed in 1.2 but I would be surprised. IIRC Laceration node (bleed on hitting spirit plague'd enemies) is even worse and doesn't scale with INT; did not test that one though.

I did recognize the letters and I'm assuming it was something written in Thai but I'm really not sure.

[placid plinth]

The player is a, I guess you would call it a rectangular cuboid. Nothing changes the player's hitbox. The acolyte has the same hitbox as the werebear.

[placid plinth]

no. item level is determined by the item's properties, not where it came from

[rich pivot]

With the new changes to S2 on Movement skills, will we be able to jump over these gaps and stairs too? i left 2 pictures here; #❔┃ask-the-community message

I'm not sure on specific situations without going there to check really. You'll just have to test em out when the season starts.

[rich pivot]

okido, no worries ^^

[cold panther]

Wouldnt a two dimensional hitbox be enough to check if the player was hit? Or can Projectiles actually shoot upwards above the player?

[crude plover]

You are able to miss vertically, you can test it by trying to shoot enemies that are upstairs but not standing directly Infront of the stairs , your projectiles won't keep a constant distance from the ground, they go in a straight line and can go above enemies.

1. Will there every be an armoury? No
2. Any chance we can have an in-game item codex? Especially for content specific drops.
3. Any chance we can see base damage on skills instead of estimated DPS (especially for completely faulty tooltips)?
4. Can a supporter pack be upgraded?
5. Any chance we can have an opt-in solid background for overlay map?

Thank you ❤️

That sounds a little counter intuitive in how most skills work... is this an intended balance thing Mike? Or just something to fix someday?

First question: Do I understand correctly that Woven echoes are leading in two types of locations, Thumbs and Cemeteries? The second question is more likely confirmation. In Echo web there will be some kind of sockets where we'll be inserting the collectible Woven echoes from our inventory to spawn those new locations?

Hello, this question might have been answered already, sorry if that's the case. I'm really looking forward to playing LE again with this update and it really seems like the feedback on end game has been taken seriously. The one aspect I find the game is lacking is game feel / feedback of both the skills and monsters. I know from experience it's a really hard thing to nail, it means animations, sfx, vfx and well, do you think that's something you'll consider working on in the future ?
As it's not written on the "season 2 and beyond" I wanted to know your opinion on this

[pine chasm]

Oh, interesting. Any particular reason you didn't go with the capsule of CapsuleMan fame?

[ancient forge]

Is the discord "X supporter" roles tied to donations? or anything else?
like red/blue name etc.
(outside of the youtuber/streamer roles, those are more understandable i guess)

I can't find an answer cause 99% of google is referring to a supporter pack in some way

[flint bloom]

they were kickstarter rewards

[celest bluff]

The option in temporal sanctum to select 1 affix that is guaranteed to be on your legendary item is only available for uniques with 2LP and 3LP, no? For 1LP this will not be the case, correct?

[low peak]

Do Loot Lizards provide extra souls for Soulfire Bastion? Asking because of the new scale charm

[scenic cove]

For any unique, so yes, it guarantees 1LP slam

[celest bluff]

Oh, I thought that was not the case for 1LP. I guess it just made sense in my mind as now the 1LP slam is not so exciting anymore if you are always going to hit it

[plucky cape]

based on the fact we now have a woven echoes inventory tab, It's fair to say they're fairly common?

[gentle thorn]

it's still exciting, because slams can crit, so you have a chance your 1LP actually gets 2+ affixes

[craggy kiln]

About the "critical success" for legendary crafting, does it do anything for 4 LP items?

[flint bloom]

how could it? 4lp is max

[craggy kiln]

Technically you can have 5 affixes on an item if you seal one, but it could also just upgrade affix tiers for example

[blazing hemlock]

Questions about Warlord's Riches. Let's say I inprint a item with a single, T7 affix.

1. Can the COF chance for exalted target the sealed affix in order to "guarantee" the affix to be T6 or T7?

2. Is the sealed affix going to exalted independant of the item chance to be exalted. As in, are the odds to have two exalted affixes (one regular, one sealed) with the effect compared to simply pray for double exalted?

3. When the effect mention "item type", is it just "gloves" "boots" "1H sword" or is it the whole item base?

4. Assuming the item drops with 4 T5- affixes and 1 exalted, sealed affix, is the FP of the item based on the fact the item is, in fact, exalted, or based on the fact the item has only base affixes?

also, maybe it got answered already, but given the critical chance of legendary crafting depend on the LP chance of the item, do you get an improved crit chance with the COF effect?

[desert sleet]

No, it can't crit succeed if it is already the best possible LP roll. It also doesn't change anything about the tiers or rolls. All normal Eternity Cache rules still apply (notably, sealed affixes can't be chosen), but very rarely it just treats the item as if it had more LP.

[serene mango]

i remember you said we get some lootfilter additions, do those include being able to filter specific uniques?

[wooden blade]

What is the Added Damage Effectiveness of Potent Corruption in Abyssal Echoes Skill Tree? (The node that disables the application of abyssal decay in favour of making Abyssal Echoes deal hit damage instead)

[desert sleet]

Not in Season 2, but that is something we are keen to add in the future. In Season 2, there will be improvements to rarity filtering.

Generally speaking, if support for a method of matching an item exists in only loot filter, stash priority, or bazaar, we'd like to extend that to all 3 places. My hope is that we can eventually get all of them to have full feature parity for item matching.

[gentle thorn]

Hey Mike, for the new Bleeding Fury converting ailment chance if Puncture is converted.
This only works with the Scalebane node (poison) and Troaka's Teeth (frostbite), right?
And something like Maehlin's Hubris wouldnt work, because while it converts Bleed to Ignite, it's generic and not specific to Puncture?
Answered here : it works with ignite #❔┃ask-the-community message

Will patch video last one hour to let Judd introduce all changes? I want to know how long it will be.

[radiant socket]

is obsidian resonance going to become more common with this update? one of my favorite aspects of the game is playing with friends and then helping them out with items i get that are really good for them when i'm grinding solo. not being able to do that last time i played was pretty upsetting because of the low drop rate.

[desert sleet]

AFAIK, Last Epoch's inventory is one of the biggest of any ARPG I've played. We are also freeing up space by adding the keys and woven echoes tabs, both of which have infinite storage. Not to mention idols having their own slots so they don't clutter the inventory, shards/runes/glyphs having infinite storage, and the stash having up to 200 tabs you can unlock with in game gold.

So no, but also kinda yes just indirectly?

[astral reef]

Fair enough 👍 🙃

[fluid axle]

It seems like every type of item in the game has a way to be involved with the crafting system except for failed legendary items. Is there a plan to have them be involved in the crafting system eventually or is them being a dead-end item the goal?

[jaunty dune]

you can use them to reroll uniques i thought?

[crude plover]

it's also kinda hard to fail a slam now that one affix is guaranteed (still possible for 2+ lp items if you need more than one to hit ofc)

[desert sleet]

Yes, this was teased in the recent podcast. You can sacrifice a unique or legendary to reroll the implicits/affixes of another of the same type.

[primal girder]

Reroll the affixes/implicits, not the LP

[crude plover]

oh right lol

it's been a while, me forget

[shadow swift]

will there be new lore/npc interactions in S2 for the campaign? Especially with the introduction of the weaver

can you reroll the stats on a legendary or only uniques?

[flint bloom]

yes, as there always are with new content

[visual apex]

Question about Champ Affixes + the Imprinting on the weaver tree: If I imprint a champ affixed item, will the "imprint drops" that can happen have the potential to have that same champ affix?

[desert sleet]

Both work. Any combination of unique or legendary can be used so long as they are the same item and the sacrifice has equal or higher "Potential Tier" (basically, how much LP or WW it currently has or used to have)

Potential Tier is equivalent to:
Weaver's Will = Weaver's Will + sum of legendary affix tiers
Legendary = # of legendary affixes
Unique = Legendary Potential
Set = 0

[jaunty dune]

and does 2 legendary affixes = 2lp? so you could reroll a legnedary without having to slam a new one first?

[crude plover]

If i have a 2lp titan heart and a legendary titanheart with 2 affixes I can use one to reroll the other, either way works

[wintry nest]

Can u guarantee an affix for your legendary no matter what LP Unique has, or is it only 2+ LP to guarantee 1 affix you want (i assume it should be 2+ but still)?

[crude plover]

Any lp, so a 1 lp slam is guaranteed (super small chance it'll crit and grab more affixes though :p)

On a 2 or 3lp you still only get to choose one guaranteed affix.

[placid plinth]

The 2+ is Dungeon Tier 2 or higher.

[placid plinth]

I think so but it could still only be sealed.

[visual apex]

Yeah, I was thinking about getting the right champ affix on the wrong base and how RNG it would be for them to match up, that's why I wondered

[placid plinth]

We are slowly narrowing in on the best rate for that, it is a dangerous thing to have be too high drop rate.

[placid plinth]

that doesn't look like anything to me...yet

[placid plinth]

20mins

[placid plinth]

I think that node has been changed so it doesn't actually have it.

[placid plinth]

don't think so

[placid plinth]

some of them are, there are 4 categories of progression. You'll start out only finding them in the first group so you'll probably have more of those.

[placid plinth]

good question, I'm not sure but I sure hope so

[placid plinth]

no

[hoary frigate]

don't you think you've nerfed poor Lich with Death Seal since now we can't stack Endurance threshold to 33% of Health (or close to that).

[jaunty dune]

any relation to the other thing that doesn't look like anything to you?

[placid plinth]

I have no idea (not part of the bit)

[cursive basin]

to clarify about the new campaign system, do we HAVE to defeat each dungeon once to get 2 skill points each? or is that only for if you take the shortcut?

[jaunty dune]

what bit? 🤨

[wooden blade]

Does LETools already have the updated Passive and Skill Trees so when Patchnotes release tomorrow they can release aswell?

[desert sleet]

It's just another alternative you can choose for how to unlock your passives/idol slots. There's already more side quests that grant passives/idol slots than there are passives/idol slots to unlock and this works the same.

[cursive basin]

so we can go through normally without having to beat the dungeon for passives?

[fleet galleon]

Yes

[desert sleet]

yup! this just makes it so if you do choose to skip parts of the campaign with the dungeons, you don't need to backtrack to get the remaining passives/idol slots and can continue progressing forward naturally

[placid plinth]

We haven't given them something extra early. They are however part of the CT program so they essentially have the Season 2 patch already and have been getting CT patch notes as we go.

[rain robin]

is there a possibility of adding a way to increase stash tab sizes (like a poe quad tab) eventually would be really nice to lower the amount of unique tabs i need to store items

[wooden blade]

are they allowed to present everything in the planner based of the CT program once you guys release the patch notes?

[placid plinth]

Maybe, we don't have anything planned like that. If you'd like us to consider it, head over to #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

No, only what we have released publically.

[orchid quiver]

I don't mean to bother you guys but, is a console port to PS5 ever going to be a thing? Just wondering!

[crude plover]

Probably eventually but no news regarding it as of now

[placid sinew]

I was fooling around with an Archmage Skeleton specced into underlings build using controller, but it was pretty frustrating to get dread shade on my Archmage skele rather than a soon to be exploded regular skeletons. Do the controller changes allow for us to target specific minions now?

[jaunty dune]

'Twas the night before Patch Notes, when all through the (dis)cord
Not a creature was stirring, not even a grole;
The planners were hung in the bookmarks with care,
In hopes that St. Judd soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of lizard-tales danced in their heads;

any last bits you want to give out as a patch notes eve leak Mike?

I don't know what it's called

[placid plinth]

no, it's going to try and pick the one that hopefully makes the most sense.

[pine chasm]

11 pages... 11 am.. 11th Hour Games... three elevens, Half Life 3 is coming this November?

[full dagger]

Hi Mike, according to some testing the ailments applied by spirit plague (acolyte) are not affected by the damage multipliers in the skill's tree, is this intended with a balance view, limitation from the skill or just bugged?

[placid sinew]

Thanks! I'm Assuming in the exploding skele scenario the Archmage is the one that makes the most sense to the priority system

[crude plover]

The way those nodes work is quite unique, spirit plague doesn't actually count as the source for those ailments, the nodes descriptions wording kinda hints at this

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry I don't know which one it will pick.
