6. What the first unique item EHG created is?

[fading ermine]

With the new dark quiver change to be able to hold 3 black arrows, do these arrows have their own individual timer or does pick up one refresh all stacks ?

[desert sleet]

Each arrow has it's own timer and they will be displayed as a single buff counter, similar to how ailment stacks are shown

[worldly marten]

Is chinese bazaar / AH / item listings gonna be separate from others or is it gonna be 1.0 all over again

[lament tulip]

P2P Trade is disabled for one, but that doesn't mean all trade is disabled, it's just that you have to be in a party to freely trade items that dropped at the time you were with a friend, or use Resonances. Then the AH is how to sell otherwise

[fast spade]

Void Beam tooltip has +2/vit scaling, which makes me wonder if Renouncement works together with that scaling, doesn't or overwrites it

That's the erasing beams, which i understand are distinct from smite beams

Correct, 2 flat per vitality, now what I'm trying to figure out is does Renouncement +1 Smite scaling play into that.

[pine dome]

Mike, what did you do with the real Mike ??

[astral reef]

young padavan

[fast spade]

Nooo not the wizard beard!

[fast spade]

Wait, I might be silly, how are you checking this? is the patch already in? How are you testing the cast on Smite Beam? Oh okay, so Renouncement does not appear to have an effect on beams is the bottom line? Thanks!

[fleet galleon]

He has access to the test realm

[crimson pier]

Hi EHG!
Trying to cook 2h + shield build, very excited!
Is new unique "Phalanx" mod "#% more damage with Vengeance per 10% Block Chance" is capped or not by 100% block chance?

[timber sequoia]

Is it planned to upgrade the VFX for the shatter strike spell's, I think the spell could be a lot more impactfull

[placid plinth]

we frequently update old vfx. If you'd like us to consider any specific skill, please use #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

not capped but there are some effects which give you a guaranteed next block and visually give you +100% block chance that actually don't give the 100% block chance for scaling purposes.

[placid plinth]

wait, which one of us is real?

[placid plinth]

don't forget to ignore all the attribute scaling of stuff you can't directly cast except in very rare, very specific exceptions.

[fast spade]

This is clearly an impostor

[pine dome]

While you are answering this, does that mean that the Void Beam become a subskill from Smite ?

[placid plinth]

to be clear, we do not consider item gifting to be trade.

[placid plinth]

source?

[placid plinth]

The Bazaar is the only way to trade items in the game. I'm not sure what other listings it could be separated from.

[fast spade]

Maybe let me and pvt Vlad reconfirm something, as a followup question . Does Renouncement Smite Void Beam benefit from Smite tree or/and vitality/strength attribute scaling? Or the Renouncement Smite Void Spell per Vitality ?

[placid plinth]

Void Beams from Renouncement is a sub skill of Smite and follows all the same rules as normal. It does not directly gain any attribute scaling at all and that portion of its tooltip can be ignored. It gets any buffs that have been applied to that cast of Smite, including any attribute scaling that Smite has already converted into generic stats.

This is the same for all sub skills

Just as a reminder, target conditional effects like damage to ignited and damage to blinded do not get passed down.

[pine dome]

I was supposed to go to bed 2hours ago
I am glad I didnt ^^
I know this is #1210281911872786482 but even though I know the rule for subskills, this was not obvious its a subskill
But I am happy its one

[lament tulip]

Fair enough

[viscid bluff]

Does "Future Focus" on Volatile Reversal disable "Warped Time" and "Phased Reality" in the same tree. It's not specified that it does, but I want to check if it does in fact disable both.

[polar wedge]

Following this logic, I wanna see if I understood right. I have two examples. Void Supremacy node in Abyssal Echoes doesn't affect the Ravaging Aura via Void Cleave's Ravager node, while Nullifying Carve node in Multistrike does?

[ashen summit]

with there being some graphics improvements will this be like the 1.0 graphics improvements where we get some performance updates along side them leading to both better performance and visuals, or are the visual improvements coming in this patch reducing performance at all?

[placid plinth]

that's right, damage to slowed is a target conditional effect. The effect, more damage, is conditional on the target being slowed.

[placid plinth]

VR is a combo skill, Warped Time is active while you have used the 1st part of the combo and have the 2nd part on your bar.

[polar wedge]

Great, thanks. Does the area increase from Nullifying Carve apply to Ravaging Aura?

[placid plinth]

There are always performance improvements in every major patch. This one is no different.

[viscid bluff]

The wording conflicts tho - it says "while able to jump backwards" - Future Focus - changes the combo to double jump forward.

Does the "2nd" stage of the combo not matter to the definition?

[placid plinth]

should do

[placid plinth]

yes

It is WAY too late to get changes put into Season 2 (not using 1.2 language any more). If you'd like us to consider something for the game, please use #1210282176680169562

[flat holly]

hello devs was wondering if u guys could lock uber abbroth until the race ends people will go practice offline to help with the boss fight i fill this will ruin the race imo

[viscid bluff]

Is it possible to get a gray under-statement on the skills that explains this better, if possible. That there's no conflict due to the wording and that both work with Future Focus?

[subtle kindle]

what's the general feel of season 2? Do you guys like how far you came with it?
Anything you wish you had more time for?

[placid plinth]

No, it's WAY too late to get changes put into Season 2 . If you'd like us to consider something for the game, please use #1210282176680169562

also it's similar enough to current abby that you can go practice there now

[placid plinth]

maybe, drop it in #1210282176680169562

[flat holly]

ok ty for the response also 1.2 is looking awsome keep up the great work

[placid plinth]

I know you replied to this already but just in case you missed it, we are using Season 2, not 1.2 now.

Season 2 is looking fantastic. It's the (or at least one of the) biggest patch we've had. There are thousands of things I always want more time for but sometimes you've just gotta push it out of the nest. (in a good way)

[plucky dragon]

Given that Devouring Orb cast on move apparently can echo (from gameplay footage), does that mean it counts as directly casting a spell for the purposes of bleeding heart/Apostate sanctuary?

[supple pulsar]

Question for EHG: With the new changes to Multi-meteors being only cast on direct cast, does this mean that auto-cast meteors have a lower mana cost (like the cost for a single meteor)?

[crude plover]

The way it's worded the answer should be no afaik. The procs will cost the full cost but only one meteor will cast

[supple pulsar]

I actually thought the opposite when I read the patch notes.

[crude plover]

If it was "when directly casting meteor, consume extra mana for additional meteors to fall" or something (they wouldn't word it like that) then you'd assume that procs wouldn't consume the extra mana. But the node basically just says the skill costs more.

[supple pulsar]

This is what it said in the patch notes: "Twin Meteors grants an additional meteor for direct casts (from any cast). It adds 50 mana cost (from 70)." So I assumed this meant that non-multi-meteor casts would not add +50 mana.

[crude plover]

No matter if it's cast via proc or not it'll cost the additional 50 mana. It's just increasing the skills cost. There's no condition mentioned for the cost.

[supple pulsar]

Well that would be really stupid on EHG's part because the entire multi-meteor part of the skill tree would just be a negative for anyone using Harbinger of Stars. It makes sense that it would and should be conditional, because the extra meteors are. The extra cost should clearly only apply if you get extra meteors.

[faint terrace]

will there be a way to turn off the skill error message coming from the characters when you press a skill that's still on cooldown

[crude plover]

You already can, the setting is called "mute error voice lines" or something along those lines

[severe bone]

i have a quick question about Heartseeker. With the passive where it shoots out Punctures when an enemy dies do those Punctures profit from the Puncture passive Tree ? Dope Thanks for the Quick Answer 🙂

[crude plover]

Yes (you can edit your message to get around slow mode)

@supple pulsar this node in frost claw behaves very similarly. Procs will consume the additional mana despite not benefitting from this node as well. Not saying it's good or bad, it's just how it works.

[quartz cairn]

Question about elemental arrow and cold heartseeker, since cold heartseeker is not fire or lightning it does not benefit from elemental arrows, however, if you take fire and steel, it says there is just a generic elemental damage bonus. Would that apply to cold heartseeker or would it not because heartseeker cannot consume elemental arrows to begin with?

[crude plover]

The attack you use doesn't even need to be elemental to consume elemental arrow, it just needs to be a bow attack. It will work.

[supple pulsar]

For an additional 4 mana that's not going to be a big deal, but an additional 50 mana when you get no benefit will be a build defining oversight on EHG's part. I understand the nerf, but it would make perfect sense if the spell didn't cost more mana when multi-meteors aren't triggered. This nerf will end up being far more impactful if they just leave the meteor skill tree the way it is. It should be fixed to be "fair", you should be able to cast multi-meteors directly if you want, and also cast single meteors on crits.

[crude plover]

Your feedback is valid, if you'd like to see some change please post in the forum channels since nothing in this channel gets logged for consideration. Personally I agree with what you're saying but I can also see it being pretty fair having it stay tbh.

#1210282176680169562
#1210281911872786482

[pine chasm]

Yes, or at least the patch notes say it will

[lost cairn]

On Devouring Orb, it says: "Each successive rift has 12% more damage and area of effect, capped at an increase of 120%."
Does this mean that this effect is triggered on rifts being cast, or on enemy death?

[crude plover]

Rifts are cast on enemy death, so kinda both? (It's on rift cast)

[little raptor]

oh thank you very much I had missed that

[lost cairn]

In the new patch there are 2 new ways to cast the rifts, so I was wondering if those casts will stack up the damage and aoe or not.

[soft otter]

It says successive rifts so it’s only contingent on rifts being cast not what would trigger that

[crude plover]

What's the second way? Sorry must've missed it

[lost cairn]

Volatile Reversal and passive node Temporal Velocity

[crude plover]

Yep should work

[lost cairn]

The way it is stated on Devouring Orb does make it sound like it is on rift cast and not enemy death, but the new node Soul Eater says: "The rate at which Void Rift hit damage and area increments when a nearby enemy dies is increased." To me this seems to be implying that rift damage and area increases are from enemy death and not from rift cast.

[crude plover]

Technically the increase would still only happen on death since the first one would have base area and damage. And only on the second cast which can only happen via a nearby death will it scale. Normally you'd get the first base cast off of a death and then all the "scaling" casts. But honestly I can see where you're coming from so I'd wait for an answer from Mike to be 100% sure.

[hot ingot]

Is the new rotgrip passive on Voidknight supposed to scale with "per 1% increased melee attack, throwing or cast speed, whichever is the lowest"? It seems kind of weird to need attack, cast and throwing attackspeed to get any value there...

[crude plover]

Yes that's how it's intended to work

[valid dust]

Got a question on two of the new Volatile Reversal nodes: Hallow Cascade (Abyssal Echo at arrival jump) and Reclaimed Action (always echo after distance leap). Does this combo cause Abyssal Echoes to echo when I perform a big leap, or does it require a different skill to be performed and that one echoes?

[void prawn]

Riposte is part of vengeances base fucntionality. So It's easy to know that riposte gets converted. Is ironblades converted by converting vengeance since the subskill has no other sources, and does not explicitly state otherwise?

[flat holly]

quick a question if any 1 could answer smite has a node for a fissure and scales with fire damage over time is this a ignite?

[crude plover]

It is not an ignite

[crude plover]

They do get converted

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

[flat holly]

could it ignite with enough ignite chance from gear and passives

[crude plover]

No since it doesn't hit

Smite itself could ignite though (since it's a hit)

You can edit your message to reply if slow mode is preventing you

[flat holly]

ok ty for the answer time to change my build around a little apperciate the help

[crude plover]

Np ^^

[unkempt nacelle]

I assume this is to encourage hybrid builds somehow

[crude plover]

It was also to just have something a little different from other ailments. They talk about it a bit in this interview at 17:50
https://youtube.com/watch?v=JwFHzzz6zBE&t=1070s

[charred herald]

Hello, on legacy server during a merge my accounts "merchant guild faction rank" got reset on all of my characters. With an almost non-existant market I am now barred from using all of my merchant's guild items which make it nearly impossible to level of up any rate even with many items for sell for 0 gold. Can we do something about this? I am just trying to play test new builds and its miserable.

[crude plover]

Have you tried to restart the game? It can sometimes mess up temporarily

Your rank should not reset

[placid plinth]

Did you merge your stash?

[stiff niche]

Do you have any plans to adjust minion snapshotting in the future?
I just looked at a build-guide that is completely designed so that you switch your gear+idols after you have summoned your minions and you then have to stay in the same echo for longer or you have to do it again... for me personally it ruins every Minion build

[little raptor]

Does the increased damage per increased movement speed effects on Wrongwarp and Vaion's Chariot use your current modified movement speed amount after considering more/less movement speed modifiers like Ghostflame and Event Horizon, as shown on the character sheet, or does it only use the sum total of "increased movement speed" modifiers with no further modifications? If it works on increased movement speed before more/less: Lightning Rush in Surge, which grants more damage, is worded differently. Does it work the same way as the other two modifiers?

[unreal fractal]

Is the mechanic of dropping 1LP item like:

1. repeat rolling an item until it's at least 1LP, or
2. drop an item and if it's 0LP make it 1LP?
   Because 2) actually makes the chance to drop an 1LP rare item (like Red Ring) much higher

[placid plinth]

It's an unintended byproduct of the system and we are very interested in removing it. (don't forget to check the search)

[placid plinth]

It checks the character sheet

[little raptor]

ok thank you very much!

[placid plinth]

if it's a fixed 1LP item then it's just "drop a 1LP item"

[unreal fractal]

So the chance to drop an 1LP Red Ring is the same as the chance to drop a Red Ring in normal unique drops?

[placid plinth]

if it's a normal drop, the way it works is that it rolls for 1LP, if it's successful, it rolls for 2LP, if that is successful, it rolls for 3LP. The numbers you see on database sites are not the values that it is rolling at each of these stages.

[unreal fractal]

Oh I see. What I am thinking is that the chance to drop an at least 1LP item is

1. chance to drop this item * chance to roll for 1LP in normal drops
2. chance to drop this item in 1LP drops
   So high LP level item benefits more from guaranteed 1LP drops, am I right?
   (If it's "repeat dropping item until 1LP", then every item benefits the same)

[cursive sparrow]

I have a question regarding vr node that guarantees echo after 4 meter travel distance. Can the skill double echo from vr and then from passive rng proc?

[placid plinth]

if something said minimum 1LP then it would be just an auto-success of the first roll. I don't really understand your question still but I think what you're asking is just the same in both situations.

[placid plinth]

no

[primal girder]

I'm assuming their question is in the context of 1 LP unique CoF prophecies

[fluid axle]

Do the lightning bolts from smite convert to void alongside the skill itself?

[pearl pier]

Would you ever consider adding a "locking" type mechanism to the gear your wearing/idols your using so you dont accidentally unequip something important?

[unreal fractal]

I think I got it. Thank you Mike!
If you are still interested, here is an example:
There are two items A, B, with weights 1:9, and chances to have 1LP 10% and 50%.

• In normal drops the chance to find a 1LP A is 10%*10%=1%;
• In 1LP drops the chance is 10% like what you said.
  But another way to implement 1LP drops (which you are not using) is to remove all 0LP events, so the chance would be
• (10% * 10%) / (10% * 10% + 90% * 50%) = 1/46,
  so huge difference.

[eternal zinc]

1. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/zySYvLnlrR Will we can skip dialogue here in the update?
2. Do idols which get from 1.1 (includes invalid affixes for 1.2) can be enchanted in tombs or cemeteries?
3. What favour cache is?
4. What the first unique item EHG created is?

[cursive sparrow]

Volatile reversal tooltip on letools says use delay 0.1 seconds, use duration 0.75 sec, doesnt have any speed scaling. Does it mean that vr doesnt scale with attack speed and will always have 0.85s animation on inital use?

[regal stratus]

Can you 'divine' a legendary? if so, when you 'divine' a legendary, does it reroll the implicit and explicits of the unique only, or does it reroll the slammed affixes also?

[desert sleet]

Yes (one of the woven echo crafts lets you sacrifice one unique to reroll another), it's like a divine + blessed orb combined, all affixes (unique and legendary) and implicits are rerolled at once, LP (if any) is not affected

[hexed quarry]

Returning player here - are low-level bases farmable in high level zones? For example, Kris is the only dagger base with implicit crit multi, and starts dropping around level 27 areas. I remember being almost unable to find these once I was in higher level zones (say, post-campaign) back when I played more on 1.0, and felt like they definitely dropped more when I went back to level ~27 zones.

[somber marten]

Yes, although late game kris usage has been largely replaced by Traitor's Tongue for Rogues.

[charred herald]

I am unsure -- EDIT -- No I have not, should I?

[desert sleet]

1. Not in Season 2, maybe one day, but making the in-engine cutscenes skippable is more involved that typical NPC dialog
2. Yes, existing idols can be enchanted and old affixes on existing items are automatically updated
3. It's referring to random caches (chests), but I'm not sure if favour caches are a specific type or if that's just the name for them in general
4. Predates me, so not 100% sure, but based on the order in the code, I'd guess it's Calamity

[desert sleet]

If you go to your stash in legacy there should be a dropdown top left, you can select the previous Season where you made faction progress, then click the merge button that appears to the right of it and it will merge all of your gold, faction data, materials (everything that's shared stash-wide).

In Season 2, we're adding a new confirmation modal that gives a summary of what it's actually doing, some confirmation messages when it completes, and a message in the faction panel if you have unmerged data to help improve the UX/visibility of the merge process a bit.

[gusty matrix]

Are there any plans / discussions internally to make price checking items less tedious?

Coming from other games, the fact that you need to go to the Bazaar and need to interact with multiple NPC really adds a ton of friction to MG.

[desert sleet]

Not in Season 2, but we def hear the community feedback on it.

[neon terrace]

Is the evade bug where you roll back to your original location fixed in offline mode? (thats where it happened to me)
On the Eterra Monthly it says that its fixed ( https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/eterra-monthly-november-2024-edition/74445#evade-improvements-4 ), but I dont see that bug mentioned in the season 2 patch notes

[hexed quarry]

Awesome, thanks a million for the answer and the added info

[eternal zinc]

#1 The reason of it'll more involved than common NPC dialog is Kyle need to figure out how to write the whole dialog in this part from zero then animators need to rebuild their actions?
#4 Appreciated. It match with Judd's favour so much hhhhhhh I never use this helmet yet

[desert sleet]

Yes, I believe this is the patch note that covers the offline double use back to previous location fix:

Fixed an issue where the second cast of Evade would break if clicked quickly.

[gusty matrix]

Is opening up the trade API something you guys are considering, or are you guys more thinking to build this "tool" so all players would have access to it in game.

[neon terrace]

Cool, thanks a lot 😄

[eternal zinc]

Oh I remind of lost caches in monolithes suddenly. Favour cache = one of lost caches? Because the only node relevant to favour cache in weaver tree is adjacent to lost cache node. But the more important thing is which rewards will in favour caches 🤔

[desert sleet]

It's because the scene is doing scripted animations on a bunch of things (the camera, the player, the NPCs, etc). For an NPC dialog, it's just instant UI changes, so less edge cases to handle.

[desert sleet]

Never say never, but a trade API seems very unlikely to me. I think we'd be more inclined to try and build something into the game itself that surfaces the relevant info in a user friendly way.

[eternal zinc]

yeah it's no problem on current scene. Just add an skip button when we play it for the second time is fine.

But yeah, how to deal with details on rhythm after skipped the dialog to make sure the game sync with player's action is what EHG need to think. Or maybe EHG can let the dialog keep going after the player reach the vessel? I don't ask any suggestions because all of them will decide by EHG at last.

[calm shuttle]

I thought favour cache literally gives us faction favours 👀

[eternal zinc]

I like this idea!

Extra question: We can't copy and paste message links now? Why?

[desert sleet]

I searched around the code and think I found it. It's a specific type of cache that drops favor tomes (like XP tomes, but for CoF/MG favor).

The description for the favor cache itself:

Tomes with knowledge that will grant you favor with the Circle of Fortune or Merchant's Guild

[eternal zinc]

it'll more cool if it can give us favour tomes for forgotten knight or the woven 👀

(I will grab that node immediately if it give me what I want above )

[calm shuttle]

Surely the amount will be 1 hundred billion 10 thousand favours

/insert Dr. Evil laugh meme

[zenith ginkgo]

do we know what time the game will go offline on the 16th for thee update?

[desert sleet]

I tested this on the internal build and the lightning bolts from Unbalanced Scale stay lightning. Also if you take both Order of Lagon (lighting conversion) and Fallen from Grace (void conversion) at the same time, void wins. Order of Lagon has info in the alt text which states "This node has no effect if Smite is already converted to void."

[pearl dagger]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-tombs-of-the-erased-patch-notes/75247 has "24 hours before the patch goes live, will will have server maintenance in order to prepare for Season 2" (right below the patch overview video near the top). If it's precisely 24h, then servers would go down at <t:1744819200:F> for a magic localized timestamp.

[jaunty dune]

Will keen outlook node work with siege barrage? Saw it got a bug fix but not sure if that is actually a bug or not

[desert sleet]

I tested this in the internal build and VR's use duration doesn't change with increases to attack or cast speed, similar to Lunge.

[cursive sparrow]

I cri ._.

[zenith ginkgo]

yeah just wasnt sure if it was precisely lol but thank you! i appreciate you

[spare hawk]

and void beams from the erasing strike tree are also a smite subskill or are they an erasing strike subskill ?

[dense patio]

For Rot Grip, if I have -10% attack speed, does it mean that dmg multiplier will be 0 ? Since -10% attack speed is my lowest among the three criteria?

[desert sleet]

Yes

did i read price check built in ? HYPE!!

[tame arch]

If I am using a pack of Raptors instead of just one do I get multiple instances of Raptor Screech, with the Screech node, each time it goes off or does it just occur once? Also for Adaptation, does each raptor needs 10 kills to evolve?

[pearl nexus]

if they are from Erasing Strike they are a subskill of ES, scaling with it and not with smite
if they are from smite they are a subskill of smite, scaling with it and not with ES

Does "Inheritance of the Erased" amulet give the effect to the Falcon?

[pearl nexus]

yes

[limber plume]

How Shield Throw targeting works? If I have enough ricochets, 2 minions and a boss - will it always go for the boss if possible, or I can end up with boss>minion>minion situation?

[mellow carbon]

I noticed in last epoch tools, that the "flame burst" skill from the backfire node on disintegrate is not the same skill as the flame burst skill on the fireball tree.

Does this mean that the flame burst from disintegrate won't gain the fireball tree scaling that was granted in 1.2? If so, is that intended or is that an oversight?

[plucky cape]

So with 2 days left before launch what would you say you guys are working on now? is it mostly just playtesting the existing content, or is anything being added last minute? 😄

does nemesis mechanic staying in the game when 1.2 comes out or no?

[fleet galleon]

it's permanent so yes, it's staying

[tame arch]

I've heard of Multistrike now shotgunning mobs with the additional swords. Does a node gives this function or does the skill has it as a base function?

[floral dust]

Converting heartseeker to poison converts all armor shred chance to poison chance - I'm assuming this means all armor shred increased effect is now useless?

[somber marten]

Correct, those don't convert unless it says so.

[final widget]

Hey Devs. I really hope you have changed the tooltip mechanics. The pop up windows in random locations that fade away before you have read it all feels so bad. Titan Quest 1 did this perfectly. Copy them EHG! ❤️

[undone fable]

I've a question in regards to sentinel / javelin in particular, when converting javelin to lightning the description of that node states that other stats that affects bleed and ignite are converted too. Does this include duration stats for bleed and ignite conversion to electrify?

[brisk jackal]

Hi Mike, do target conditional effects work on ailments?
For example, one node in Abyssal Echoes makes the next Erasing Strike deal more damage to slowed enemies.
Since this effect is a target conditional, it shouldn't be inherited by any ailments applied by ES, right?

[prisma axle]

Does the term 'directly casted' apply only to the act of casting or to that particular instance that was created in the act of casting. Context is the fissure node in conjunction with the Palarus Sacred Light sword. Do extra smites created in such a way apply fissure as well?

[hot ingot]

I'm also still not sure about some ailment mechanics. Lets say I apply Timerot with Erasing Strike:

• Dematerialize (75% more DoT with ES) does apply to Timerot, right?
• Do Vengeance's "Abyssal Retribution" or Abyssal Echo's "Void Suppremacy" apply to the Timerot damage from the Erasing strike?
• Last epoch tools tells me that the flat + void damage (from Symbols of Hope with "Decree of Flame" + "Symbols of Despair") apply to Timerot, is this really the case, seems strange to me?

[karmic crest]

I'm thinking about starting Spellblade, but it'd suck if I play it and then it gets reworked in a season or two. Is the team happy with Spellblade at the moment? Or might it be due a facelift sometime in the near future?

[flint bloom]

Its due for some attention. But there is no word on when. There are other classes that need it more (lich)

[serene urchin]

Just wanna confirm, dungeon layouts still are planned to be reworked in the future right? Portal charms are the "solution" for now (and plan to stay)?

[pine dome]

Yes, also S2 comes with shorter maps, and less dead end

[astral reef]

😮

[crude plover]

1: yes
2: yes to abyssal retribution, no to supremacy.
3: the increased damage applies, not the flat

[crude plover]

@hot ingot edited, didn't see that you mentioned two nodes in #2, only retribution works. Supremacy does not since it's conditional on the target

Despite having the same name the text of the item tree version and Spriggan Form tree versions are slightly different
Added to that Vlad reported that the spriggan tree version doesn't automatically fire spirit thorns as the description says
Are these meant to be similar but slightly different skills?

[fading cypress]

Does this update give any proper and additional story content ? I feel like the end of story is really lackluster, dont take it as a hate, but I feel like after finishing storyline it kinda just CUTS to monoliths instead of giving some proper closure

[whole siren]

season 2 doesnt extend the story campaign, that is coming soon (TM) though

[valid marlin]

Also, patch notes are visible in the news channel. Check patch notes

[foggy pagoda]

Any more news on multiplayer fixes/changes? I see nothing in the patch notes about them, if there are any

[lone belfry]

Is the 2h mace cosmetic "yoshok destroyer" from the new supporter pack usable with the node that allows you to wield 2h weapons in one hand?

[pearl nexus]

yes, in that regards there is no difference between wielding it in 1 or 2 hands
you still can't apply 1h cosmetics to 2h weapons even with Forge Guard's Forgemaster's Might

[lone belfry]

Alright thank you!

[open radish]

Hey guys! Quick question. If i take a generic 100% more dmg node in a skill’s tree and that skill triggers another skill, i.e. Multistrike proccing smite, does the 100% more dmg apply to smite too?

[pine dome]

If a skill procc another "proper skill" (with a skilltree, like MultiStrike with Smite) , nothing from the proccer skill will affect the procced skill (unless its specifically stated)
tldr : no

@open radish

[open radish]

Ok thx

[exotic storm]

@placid plinth Question about Flame walker node in spellblade mastery - if I convert flame aura to cold or lightning does the shred bonus change accordingly?

[hollow agate]

To complete what Vlad said :
But if the triggered skill don't have its own skill tree, most of the time it benefits from parents skill tree. (There are some exceptions to this rule and you have nothing in game to guess what are the exceptions, just ask on relevant class discord if you have a doubt)

[hot ingot]

Does the Forged Weapon's "affected by the stats on your weapon" work with base stats only? Or also unique item mods?

[pine dome]

Some uniques stats work, some dont

[viscid bluff]

On Shield Throw - If something reduces the number of ricochets by -50% how does that effect "odd" numbered ricochets. Does it take the higher number or lower? (Let's say 11 ricochets - does it do 5 or 6 with -50% reduction)????

[lament tulip]

I keep hearing talks of server lag in some twitch streams, are they working on the back end right now in prep for tomorrow? Then there was the server hiccups day prior too

[steel stone]

Hey not sure if i saw this in the patch notes, are we getting any models for unique armors / helmets? i know the backlog is pretty big

[faint terrace]

is there an option to make my mouse cursor bigger or is it coming in the future?

[placid plinth]

We would love to be able to do this but it is currently not an option available to us.

[placid plinth]

I think it's mostly handheld items.

[placid plinth]

isolated incedents are rarely a good source of information

[lament tulip]

Hi Mike ❤️

[fleet galleon]

Hello
Are you excited for the release?
Anything you're nervous about?

[placid plinth]

It's not easy to tell at a glance but the general guideline is that if it's something you would expect to be able to find on a magic item, it will probably work. If it's any sort of special effect that seems like it was made for that unique, it will not work.

[placid plinth]

Patch time is always a weird mix of emotions. I'm extremely excited.

[astral reef]

does tomes (xp,gold etc) scale with corruption lvl in s2?

[rotund wolf]

are there any changes to slams coming, i.e. giving them a higher chance of success?

[lament tulip]

Just a wee anxious is all, and hopeful for thursday ❤️ for the servers

[fleet galleon]

Guaranteed 1 affix if you run a tier2 dungeon (or higher)
it's in the patch notes

[earnest junco]

Are there any plans or discussions on skill node descriptions(especially subskills)? I think LOT of times subskills are really hard to tell if they benefit/convert from other passive trees or not

[steel stone]

Is this still a goal for the future to add models for uniques? I know this patch is mostly focused on gameplay, but is it something the team is looking to accomplish in the future?

[placid plinth]

We are adding as many new models as we can as fast as we can.

[placid plinth]

If it's not a skill that you can put on your bar, it's almost for sure a subskill. I can only think of 3 exceptions.

[placid plinth]

yes

[astral reef]

did it scale in 1.1? i forgot

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

5, it rounds down

[viscid bluff]

😦 no fun detected - round down.

[placid plinth]

blame c# int auto rounding

[jaunty dune]

think this was missed overnight

[placid plinth]

no, they are incompatible

[exotic storm]

This may have been missed in the noise.

[solar turtle]

can we have a general chat for portuguese brazil?

[placid plinth]

it does
also please read #rules 10

[placid plinth]

no, we don't have any moderators for other languages in discord so it's all English. If you would like us to consider making a change, please use #1210282176680169562

[exotic storm]

Thank you! My bad on the ping, will not happen again, appreciate the reminder.

[jovial musk]

How many capybara's do I need to hold hostage to get South African servers?

[flint bloom]

there are likely other servers in #💽┃server-share that might fit your needs as well for other language support (though they are not offical servers for LE/EHG)

[hollow ether]

Heya! o/ I have two small questions, the first one I asked yesterday but it might have gotten lost in the flow of the channel, and a second one I just came up with:

1. I'm looking at the "Grace" node in Smite's skill tree, which reads "Smite heals allies for more health", with the actual stat line reading "Smite healing: +200%" (at max points). I'm wondering if the increased healing from that node is additive or multiplicative with "increased healing effectiveness" modifiers / if it's internally an "increased healing effectiveness" modifier that's worded differently, or if it increases the base healing of Smite before increased healing effectiveness modifiers are applied.

2. About the new "Righteous Firebrand" Paladin node, which grants up to 5% fire pen per 100% healing effectiveness: does that penetration take into account the healing effectiveness that comes from skill trees? For instance, if I have 100% global increased healing effectiveness, and an additional 100% from Healing Hand's "Prayer of the Fallen" node, will my Healing Hand's damage penetrate 5%, or 10% fire res?

Thanks in advance <3

[placid plinth]

1. It multiplies the base heal amount so it will be multiplicative with increased healing stats.

2. Global stats only. 5%.

[hollow ether]

Thank you so much for the answer! ❤️

[slender crown]

Question: When i join a friend in the monolith do i still get a random reward? or is it the same end reward he chose ? because i dont see why i should join friends then 😄 i jsut wonder if it will change in the future ?

[brisk jackal]

Hi Mike, do target conditional effects work on ailments?
For example, Void Supremacy node in Abyssal Echoes makes the next Erasing Strike deal more damage to slowed enemies.
Since it is a target conditional effect, it shouldn't be inherited to any ailments applied by ES, right?

[subtle kindle]

is last epoch locking you out of your computer during load screens addressed at all in the new patch?

[placid plinth]

target conditionals do not work on ailments unless very explicitly stated as such. It is technically possible for us to do but I don't think we do it anywhere and if we did, it would not be on a common ailment like ignite or bleed, it would be on very niche ones that are only applied by the source that granted the effect.

[placid plinth]

I'm not familiar with that issue. If it's not in the patch notes you'll just have to wait and see. You can try running the game in borderless mode. That's what I would try first.

[subtle kindle]

I'll try that, thanks!

[placid plinth]

It's not fully random but yes, you do get your own reward. On average, the follower gains better but less specific rewards. Tell the leader to go farther out from the center to get better rewards. Personally I prefer being the follower. If you would like us to consider making a change, toss it in #1210282176680169562 . This particular system came about from an abuse case found by early testers where you would each get your timelines to the point where several high value reward nodes were prepared and then you would each go through all of the high values nodes passing lead back and forth. This type of unintuitive, burden of optimal play is not something we are interested in introducing into the game.

[slender crown]

thank. so then i got a question if i block everything except exp tomes as rewards as a follower do i only get tomes then or is it still random? or is it only takes the leaders weaver tree ?

[placid plinth]

I don't actually know this one. I hope it works but I haven't tried it yet.

[open thicket]

Does the bonus damage scaling for Time Rot from Rot Grip per attack speed cause a negative bonus from Avatar of Regret's 10% reduced attack speed?

[placid plinth]

If you have 10% increased then the 10% reduced would be a negative from that but if your overall speed is negative, it just ignores that part

[fierce shuttle]

Does specific champion type have higher spawn rates based on your monolith or is it all random?

[fossil dune]

Oh, haven't heard any news on this recently. Updates on arachnophobia mode, Mike?

[flint bloom]

players "arachnophobia setting please"
EHG "here, have an entire season dedicated to spiders instead"

[limber plume]

Hi Mike, regarding Shield Throw. Does it prioritise enemies when you take node that makes you ricochet on minions? Is it always boss > minion > boss > etc or it can go boss > minion 1 > minion 2 > boss > etc?

[mellow carbon]

Hi mike, I noticed in last epoch tools, that the "flame burst" skill from the backfire node on disintegrate is not the same skill as the flame burst skill on the fireball tree.

Does this mean that the flame burst from disintegrate won't gain the fireball tree scaling that was granted in 1.2? If so, is that intended or is that an oversight?

[placid plinth]

random

[placid plinth]

no news, sorry

[fossil dune]

Damn. Alright.

[placid plinth]

Yes that is correct. However, just to note, if it was the same skills, it still wouldn't get those bonuses.

[viscid bluff]

Follow-up Question from my Question Yesterday about Future Focus in Volatile Reversal passive tree:

Does the Second Jump forward in time also restore Mana back to its original amount as if we were jumping backward in time even if the second jump is further into the future?

Given the answer yesterday my assumption is it does restore mana as if it was backwards...but I want to be sure.

[icy stratus]

Do double echo rewards from CoF and double echo rewards from Weaver stack (so there's a chance to quadruple) or do they just simply add the chances up (35+20% for 55% chance when maxed)?

[spiral summit]

Mike,

1. is there a plan to have a better minion dps display somehow, rather than the current target dummies dependance?

2. Is there a plan to make pricechecking easier, by having all vendors selling the same items?

3. Is there a plan to integrare the mg filter to actual stash filtering?

Thanks a bunch!

[olive cargo]

After 1.0 you guys were pretty quick to inform players of what's next. Are you likely to do the same this time, or do you plan to let season 2 breathe a bit longer before dropping bombshells on us? 😏

[mellow carbon]

Wait, it wouldn't? I just figured it worked like storm bolt from gathering storm where it was something multiple skills could trigger and get the scaling from?

What's the point of that node then? I just assumed it was to bridge the two skills together since you have to take the fireball node to even reach backfire at all.

Also both flame burst skills had the same name, icon, and stats lol.

[ashen valley]

Hi Mike. Detonating Arrow specifies it needs a bow and then Jelkhor's Knife says it no longer requires one. Heartseeker also says it requires a bow but Ravager's Heart doesn't specify this and seems to only change bow tag for a throwing one. So will you still require a bow to use heartseeker with Ravager's Dart, or was this an oversight in the item description?

[placid plinth]

I think it depends on positioning a bit but I'm getting minion boss minion boss.

[placid plinth]

yea, you can essentially replace "jump backwards" with "activate the second half of the combo ability"

[placid plinth]

additive chance

[placid plinth]

maybe on all 3, head over to #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider them

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, probably want to let the main hotfix stream finish

[placid plinth]

more damage is more damage
since the skill you activate creates the secondary skill, it only sees the things that the main skill told it about. It doesn't reach into a different skill tree.

[flint bloom]

i assume you are going to be busy this friday so no dev stream, but the week after? or is that up in the air depending on how s2 is doing?

[placid plinth]

I thought Ravager's Dark disabled direct use of the ability all together. We may have removed that part.

[ashen valley]

Ok, does that mean that you don't need a bow then?

[placid plinth]

We usually don't stream right around the patch to not draw attention from the streamers who have twitch drops enabled. I'll be back on the 25th at the latest.

[plain void]

What's the chance of changing the support pack remove date from 2nd to 5th of May? Here in Brazil we usually get our paycheck on the 5th day of the month 😔

[placid plinth]

yes, you don't need a bow to use Heartseeker with that helm equipped.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I can't push it back.

[drowsy spear]

Hey mike if you take seismic smash for earthquake and convert earthquake to lightning. Would that in a way make earthquake scale 100% off lightning and drop the physical scaling tag because earthquake doesn't do aftershocks anymore?

[viscid bluff]

Another Volatile Reversal question - The Description Changed - Does it no longer restore Mana and HP during the 2nd stage of the combo?

[scenic narwhal]

@placid plinth as someone who is colorblind on most dark maps i cant see much, im mosly fallwing tab map and mobs i can see with help of health bars. Any plans to lighten up map or make better colors fidelity? Sorry for poor English.

[mellow carbon]

But that's not the case with storm bolt from gathering storm? It gets all the conversion and bonuses from the gathering storm tree when tornado procs it?

That's the confusion I'm having i guess, because storm bolt does exactly that.

[fleet hill]

are there plans for items to obtain to say "i was here" like seasonal cosmetics to earn during the seasons where in 20 seasons i can show off

[hallow temple]

Are there any plans to provide an API similar to the one in PoE to make item pricing easier?

[fluid axle]

Why don't void beams have the area tag?

[boreal nacelle]

For the new woven supporter packs, if I buy the lowest pack for now, can I upgrade to a higher pack later on? Will the cost be adjusted accordingly (basically only paying the difference in cost) ?

[eternal galleon]

Hey Mike, I was wondering if the change to things like smite and meteor's new hand cast/triggered effects changes were a balance change because they were considered overly powerful or if you wanted to encourage direct casting playstyles, or both?

[pine dome]

#rules 10, don't ping EHG staff

[uneven kestrel]

Are champions considered "Rare" for nodes in the Weaver tree?

[simple dagger]

Can the Abyssal Echoes triggered by the Abyssal Tempest node on Warpath be echoed?

[pine dome]

Procced skill cannot be echoed

Only direct cast

[tawdry pilot]

Will killing Majessa on Woven Echo counts as completing questline from campgain and will give +1 to all stats?

[simple dagger]

But I saw somewhere that Devouring Orb autocast in the new patch can be echoed.

Wait, never mind, now I see someone else saying Mike said it doesn't echo. The original person claiming otherwise only based it off of looking at the preview video, so I guess they could've been wrong.

[pliant herald]

what's the patch size since we have slow internet in my country so i wanted to know do i download the game now and wait for the patch or wait and download the game again after the patch in that case i will miss day one

[onyx hawk]

Do Champion enemies count as rare enemies? More specifically, are their drops affected by Weaver tree nodes that refer to rare enemies?

[inner quest]

The game guide calls them rare enemies, and the weaver tree does as well; so.. yes.

[tame arch]

How does the Mana Spark node from Mana Strike work ? Does it give me 15% more damage when I am at 100% mana no matter how much max mana I have?

[kindred zealot]

will using a Portal Charm also give some Souls to fight the boss with for the Soulfire Bastion? or are we just going to enter the fight with 0 souls to toggle our shield with?

[desert sleet]

Yes, it will give you some souls so you can do the boss fight. It's far fewer souls than if you actually cleared it though, so if you want to soul gamble, I would run it as normal. The portal charm is great for using it as a campaign skip on alts though.

[night quartz]

Can we get /played, /deaths and /favor (gained and spent for CoF)?

[quasi shale]

Do the Shuriken and Acid flask changes affect damage (+minion damage) from minions for Skeletal rogues as well?
Shuriken’s damage effectiveness has been increased from 100% to 125%
Acid Flask’s damage effectiveness has been increased from 100% to 125%
Do these damage effectiveness buffs affect poison applied by the skills?

[placid plinth]

no, added damage doesn't affect the power of ailments applied by the skill

[placid plinth]

we are adding the first chat commands in 2 days, see patch notes for details. If you would like us to consider adding something to the game, please use #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

No, it grants additional melee lightning damage equal to a x% of your current mana value. Your mana value is the amount of mana you currently have.

[tame arch]

So more max mana = more damage?

[placid plinth]

only if you're at that higher mana value. if you have 0 mana, it does nothing, if you have 100000 mana, you get 100000 * x%. Your max mana is irrelevant.

[pure python]

If I have 1000 hp and get hit for 1001 damage, would Aurora's Time Glass trigger and save me from death?

[placid plinth]

no

[pure python]

Ty Mike

[frank panther]

why is saf and scf in the same cluster?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. (I guess I need context on what cluster means in this situation)

[frank panther]

for example "Solo" on arena ladder or in the race

[placid plinth]

On the ladder, I think we just figured there isn't a massive difference between the two in gear acquisition at the top end as you can often farm top tier gear just as fast with 1 character for 1 character. The limiting part is no trade and no party play.

The race is Ziz's rules but I do agree with it for the same reasons as above.

[steel stone]

Would the crit multi node in smite apply to the electrify applied by smite w/ the new % DoT damage per crit multi node in paladin passive tree?

[frank panther]

d3 also has a similar feature w/o scf, the top characters for classes other than the best are alts of the top meta class. rather than just complaining i'll suggest adding a "singular" mode to differentiate from "solo"

[hoary glade]

For multiplayer - if I pick the nodes in the weaver tree to block certain echo rewards, but Im not the person choosing which echo to farm, does it also block it from my choices?

Also multiplayer related - have resonance drop rates been increased at all? I last played in 1.1 at reset and I was looking through patch notes and didn't see anything

[pine dome]

No, generic crit multi only

[serene mango]

do items generated by weavers tree get a weavers tag or is that not distinguishable

[crude plover]

There is no weaver tag

[plucky cape]

How are legacy characters affected with the new patch? they get all the new content and woven echoes straight away, but legacy items remain? then if they find a new item of said unique, it drops the new version instead? also how does it work with skillpoints on overhauled trees like sentinel? refunded?

[crude plover]

uniques get changed retroactively, and yes trees get refunded

[plucky cape]

ah that makes sense. thanks! waht about echo webs? they just reset too?

[crude plover]

Probably not but maybe? this is the first major system change they've done to it I can remember

[plucky cape]

Yeah not sure because of the new echoes and sidezones, hope someone could shed some light there, would love them to proc correctly on legacy from the start. Could always make a new char ofc, just not sure how much time I have coming months

[crude plover]

You won't need to make a new character

at most you'll just need to do a shade or something to reset it

[tardy stream]

Hi, I have a few questions regarding Skill interactions:
1.: Does a skills Damage effectiveness affect the magnitude of Ailments inflicted with it?
Example: Would a Poison inflicted by Multishot (120% Damage effectiveness) have a base damage of 120% of Poisons normal fixed damage?

2.: Some subskills explicitly state they are affected by the triggering skills Tree. Does this mean the default behaviour in absence of this statement is that they do NOT benefit from tree nodes like more damage?

3.: Some Skills A that trigger other Skills B state that the Skill B benefits from Skilltree B, but not from Tree A. Does this mean the default behaviour in Absence of this statement is that Skill B DOES benefit from both trees? Example: Flurry's Fussilade Node for triggering Multishot has the Statement, Multistrike's Hallowed Arsenal for triggering Smite does not.

edit: typo

[crude plover]

1: no
2: no, subskills by default do benefit. The subskills that state that can also be triggered via other sources / skills, but will still scale with the tree where that's stated, an example is storm bolts and gathering storm (storm bolts triggered from other sources will still scale with gathering storms tree)
3: Whenever you trigger a usable skill (something you can put on your bar and cast) It will by default not benefit from the tree of the skill that triggered it.

[tardy stream]

Thank you!!

[marble hound]

I have a question EGH probably cant answer.

I'm not American, I don't have a Fiber connection, I don't have a steam server down the road.
I want to queue the patch and go to bed while its taking 1/2 a day to download

so my question is
Can i get a ballpark figure of when you might push the update to steam.

end of DT, couple hours before, when the full moon is at its zenith. something

[crude plover]

18:00 CET

countdown:
https://lastepoch.com/

there is no pre-download

[leaden flame]

Does Time Rifts work with the Abyssal Echo from Hallow Cascade? It says it needs a Void Bolt to hit an enemy but does Hallow swap it to Abyssal given they stem from the same base node?

[undone fable]

Can someone tell me what the "the melee hits" in the follwoing node description stands for... (stormcrows skill tree node)?
"Gladiator of Lagon
The melee hits grant you a stack of Gladiator of Lagon for 8 seconds which grants you and your minions additional spell damage."

[crude plover]

The actual melee component of tempest strike

as in not the tempest spells it triggers

[placid skiff]

Does anyone know if the void eruption sub skill from devouring orb get the +2 void spell damage from vitality?

[crude plover]

It will

[ancient drift]

Is there info anywhere how the weaver tree will work with multiplayer?

[undone fable]

thanks for answering, do you know whether the trigger rate of "gladiator of lagon" and "Lagonian Shamanism" in the tempest skill tree share the same cd?

[zenith isle]

Is Javelin triggers from phalanx free (mana cost wise)? Currently it has no indication it does

[crude plover]

They have the same CD but don't share it, like you can get 3 of each every second

[lapis sage]

the patch notes says "Perfect Riposte now also grants +2% critical strike chance per point. Maximum of 3 points (from 1)." but in LE tools the node is still a 1 pointer. which one is wrong ?

[undone fable]

thanks alot, appreciated

[slow ivy]

javelin proc'ed off the unique Phalanx Spear, whenever i hit with Vengeance's Riposte....is that Javelin proc free?

[crude plover]

Patch notes are more likely to be wrong

[solemn fractal]

Unsure if it's already been asked/answered, but I just wanted to check and make sure. Are any of the MTX going to be going away? For example, seasonal supporter packs. Like are they only available to bought during that season, or will they be available from that point forward?

[lapis sage]

oof thats a bad note to be wrong because that node will make crit vengeance possible or not ha

there a patch notes bug report location I should put it in?

[crude plover]

The old supporter packs are going away iirc on may 2'nd, that's it

[crude plover]

probably #tooltip-hunt (Basically any text errors go in there)

[solemn fractal]

Appreciate it. Can I get specifics on which ones are leaving? I think I'll be buying one before they're gone. 😄

[crude plover]

It's the eternal series of supporter packs that'll be removed

so these

[solemn fractal]

Thanks again!

[mortal oak]

If you use multistrike with the new node to make blades work for single target alongside the node to trade arsenal blades for smites, does that result in essentially shotgunning smites on single target or does it not work since they aren't technically blades anymore?

[crude plover]

closest thing I got for you for now :P
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[mortal oak]

Thanks, here's hoping it works I'm cooking a decently off meta pile of nonsense that would love that interaction

[placid plinth]

Correction on the VR Future Focus node, I missed a bit that disables all the "back in time" effects when it is taken.

[crude plover]

Couple questions I didn't know the answer to
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[viral adder]

thanks, that makes a lot more sense!

[night tusk]

I heard from lots of other people that your already thinking of nerfing the block to dot shield?

[fast spade]

If it follows other trigger rules, yes. Unless of course you reduce Javelin's mana cost to 0.
@leaden flame No, as Time Rifts specifies void bolts.

[crude plover]

that's what i would've guessed but didn't know for sure

[viscid bluff]

Okay to clarify - 100% - Warped time and Phased Realty then are bricked if you choose Future Focus.

[zenith isle]

I think ill just wait for dev clarification (Is Javelin triggers from phalanx free (mana cost wise)? Currently it has no indication it does)

[mortal oak]

Do ailments like ignite get any scaling from the attributes that scale the skill which applies them (str for multistrike, attunement for smite)?

[fast spade]

Yes

[pine chasm]

Yes, if the scaling is relevant. For those two skills it is because they grant 4% increased damage per attribute. Stuff like devouring orb does not apply to ignite for example, since it gets +2 void spell damage per vitality, and ignite doesn't deal spell damage.

[upbeat dagger]

Has there been any confirmation on how Ravager's Dart works? For example, does it function like Jelkhor's Blast Knife where the attack no longer requires a bow to use? Or will Heartseeker still require a bow to use with Ravager's Dart equipped?

[acoustic blade]

Does the Javelin proc off the phalanx unique cost mana?

[desert sleet]

Ravager's Dart doesn't have any weapon requirements. It will work even if you have no weapon.

[placid plinth]

It doesn't look like it. I'm quite surprised by this and I haven't actually tested it out. I think this might be a bug. From the wording, I would expect it to charge the mana.

[unkempt atlas]

Will standard players still not be able to do Uber in till after the first week

[crude plover]

There's no delay for uber aberroth

[zenith isle]

INSANE (Pls no patch)

[placid plinth]

I'll be quite surprised if we don't change it. Also, it does require javelin to be on your bar and off cooldown if it has a cooldown.

[zenith isle]

will it be fixed in time for a league start tho 😉

[placid plinth]

I'm trying

[unkempt atlas]

So is there's no difference between standard and the cycle start?

[fossil dune]

Goobers, just refresh mana with Vengeance

[crude plover]

A fresh start is the only difference

[little raptor]

Just curious, what about the wording would indicate it would use mana? In every other instance triggers specifically spell out that they use mana, and if they don't, they don't.

[zenith isle]

Smite for example on idols?

[crude plover]

I think they're slowly changing the paradigm to be that it by default does consume the cost. Atleast that's what it's seemed like in the latest patches. (although it's always been mentioned still)

[placid plinth]

It says "chance to use"

[visual apex]

Does Mana Arc (From the Mana Storm node in Mana Strike) get converted to cold when Mana Strike is converted? Same question for Spark Nova (Halo Effect within Lightning Blast)?

Is there a general standard/logic/expectation for when subskills do or don't get converted? Like Shrapnel doesn't from Meteor with Vilatria's, but Volcanic Orb's subskills generally do (but they are also specifically called out as converting)

[crude plover]

Newer trees have been converting sub-skills recently but older ones don't still. (I'm almost certain the answer is no to both unless it changed in 1.2)

[crude plover]

What would the alternative wording be? Would it say cast even though it's not a spell? (Initially I thought the wording made it sound like it should consume mana and I even answered someone before removing it before I really wasn't sure)

[little raptor]

...doesn't every trigger say this? I can't think of any that don't whether they consume mana or not, unless you consider "chance to cast" a different thing?

[placid plinth]

"ability also creates"

[visual apex]

Yep, that's why I'm asking about those two specifically, Mike confirmed that Mana Spark gets converted, so I was curious about Mana Arc does as well, since the cold conversion with Mana Strike is relatively new.

and the Halo Effect node is getting fixed this patch, so I'm curious about that one too

[placid plinth]

the standard is everything should convert except hits going to poison

[crude plover]

Oh I'm surprised mana spark converts actually, guess I don't know as much as I did about that :P, It obviously makes sense it would convert

[kindred zealot]

Perhaps I'm incorrect about this, but Dragonsong's Dragonfire proc does not consume mana despite using this wording, even though Dragonfire is listed with a mana cost of 7 in LEtools. Is that a bug?

[placid plinth]

Dragonfire isn't an ability you can use normally.

[crude plover]

Pretty sure this doesn't consume mana

old relic I'm guessing?

[inner quest]

Is the keyword there meant to be "use" (where "cast" on at least a few other sources does not cost mana)? Example: Smite on throwing hit idols say "chance to cast" and they don't cost any mana.

[crude plover]

Use is what's used for non-spells

[little raptor]

Battlemage's Endeavor also has that wording and doesn't consume mana, it's basically the only reason to use it

[kindred zealot]

I'm comparing to something like Harbinger of Stars which both uses the Chance to Cast wording but also explicitly specifies that it consumes Meteor's Mana Cost. I think it'd be more clear if anything that consumes mana just says it outright.

[crude plover]

Pretty much all instances of something consuming the cost does explicitly say it. The confusion here stems from the fact that phalanx doesn't state it so you'd think it doesn't consume mana but that'd be kinda crazy lol

[kindred zealot]

Yes, I'm referring to EHG_Mike's response above where they imply that the Chance to use text indicates incurring a mana cost

[final cave]

Since we are talking wording, anybody know if this has been addressed in Season 2?
#tooltip-hunt message

[placid lodge]

Has there been any changes to arenas as far as side content spawning? Like mages, nemesis, lizards etc? I was going through weaver tree and wanted to max out arenas but it occured to me like...half the tree is useless if you want to arena spam.

[warped tusk]

Hi devs, any chance we can get icons to be attached to item names for loot filters? I would love for an anvil icon knowing I want to salvage.

Additionally, any chance that we can make tooltips of items comply with loot filter formatting. When I return to camp I'll easily know why I picked up an item.

Is there also any way for me to show items with affixes that I currently have less than 10 in stock of? You know, rare affixes I'll occasionally need to chaos with. It would act more like a dynamic filter based on my stock of affixes

[placid plinth]

Ok, we have decided to leave phalanx not charging javelin's mana cost.

[clear marlin]

Hi guys, I have a quick question here: Do you have an idea of what the majority of the ''guide'' or all references of season 2 are putting the mage class with all ascending pretty low in the tire list; before was one of the most fun classes, but now the majority are leaning to a pretty bad build setup for end game at least(only one build for one ascendency in tire A is pretty bad i think)

[desert sleet]

No plans in that regard for Season 2, but your ideas on the topic would be a great post for #1210282176680169562 so it doesn't get lost in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs as we don't track suggestions posted in here.

[spiral summit]

Devs, will we get additional patch notes before release?

[fair kiln]

DLSS/FSR with season 2? 🤔

[zenith isle]

I LOVE YOU 😘

[leaden flame]

So I asked Muffin and he asked internally.... im just dumb. The DoT portion of it is from the Incipient Void Bolt which are from your starting location while the abyssal echo replaces the terminal bolts which are from your end location, ie if you volatile in place you can apply both to 1 enemy. Idk why i didnt realize that hollow just says it only replaces one half. @fast spade oh sorry i onyl read half of your answer im dumb, long day of streaming

[placid plinth]

Yes I guess? Kinda hard not to when you told me in the question.

[placid plinth]

Yea, when it does charge you, it says it does. I am very surprised this one doesn't say it. Most of the new ability triggers we have been working on lately where it triggers an ability you can manually use, it charges the mana and says that it does.

[placid plinth]

If anything changes between patch notes and release, yes.

[placid plinth]

No

[pine karma]

Any plans to have a pet auto-pickup gold? The gold loot radius feels kind of small currently.

[placid plinth]

No but we are increasing the gold (and everything else) pickup radius in 2 days.

If you'd like us to consider adding something, please use #1210282176680169562 instead.

[golden nimbus]

Any plans for more ladder types? like ladder for corruption

[kindred zealot]

For rerolling unique items with duplicate copies, can we use any variant of uniques like Pearls of the Swine or Scales of Eterra or does it have to be exactly the same variant? Is there a way to reroll the variant into a different variant?

[icy niche]

How is the cost determine for mastery respecc, I know it gonna be much higher cost than passive respecc and depends on the level but what are the ranges?

[desert sleet]

The cost is based on character level and is listed in the patch notes.

[placid plinth]

Variants are completely different items. You must use the same item.

[placid plinth]

Would be really nice to have for sure. If you'd like us to consider adding something to the game, please use #1210282176680169562

[cursive sparrow]

not a question really but wanted to express the gratitude for creating a truly nightmarish skill fitting its name: ABOMINATION. I know snapshotting is a bug etc but i think ehg team would have a good laugh and enjoy the creativity of the community after reading 19 step snapshot guide on abomination on maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/abomination-necromancer-guide#faq-mechanics-header section 7 bossing setup 🤣 in all arpgs i saw, i would say this has to be the most necromantic thing

[little raptor]

Friendly Focus + Desperate Meditation in Focus tree, is the regen per missing mana based on your missing mana or the targets missing mana? I'm guessing the targets but I wanted to check

[ruby rose]

Could we perhaps get an update on this, as a lot of people are intending to use Bladestorm in Multistrike with Smite

[pine chasm]

Cast is also often used for non-spells/attacks, and likewise use is used for spells in many places (among several other random verbs, sometimes being the ability name itself). Closest thing I've seen to a pattern is usually "use" implies a direct use, but not always.

[granite nimbus]

Hi all, Cold Storm Bolt cast by Storm Totem through "Unmatched Storm" node (Gathering Storm convert to Cold), the Cold Storm Bolt freeze rate multiplier scale with Minion Freeze Rate Multiplier OR Character Freeze Rate Multiplier OR Both?

[zenith isle]

very very important question is the white square of doom in welryn docks patched

[left fossil]

Will there be any price discounts for the game on the patch day?

[placid plinth]

Yes, I just tested it, you can get a ton of smites to all hit the same target. Warning it is very mana hungry.

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

can't say I'm familiar with that bug personally, will just have to check it out on patch day

[placid plinth]

it works

[placid plinth]

your missing mana

[tepid pendant]

is there a secret loot lizard woven echo yet

[granite nimbus]

Anyone knows the answer?🥲 🙏

[pine chasm]

It would scale with the totem's freeze stats and any freeze stats in the gathering storm skill tree.

[granite nimbus]

I see, because Gathering Storm is character skill and Storm Totem is minion skill. That's why I was wondering character freeze rate multiplier has effect or not since the Totem is casting a character skill, well technically.

Thanks for the answer

[inner quest]

Are any of the Circle of Fortune bonuses going to affect the odds of getting better idol enchants via weaver's touch, directly or indirectly?

[earnest junco]

When it says 'hit damage', especially the node Extinction from devouring orb, does it also boost ailment affected by it(orb hitting) or only actual hit damage?

[pine chasm]

No, ailment damage is separate from the hit

[somber marten]

Only actual hit damage.

[little raptor]

oh, huh. Thanks!

[desert sleet]

CoF has more idol drops through ranks (better access to idols worth enchanting) and Rune of Weaving prophecies (more ability to immediately convert the Weaver's Touch on enchanted idols into affixes), but the enchanting craft itself isn't directly buffed by CoF ranks.

[mint surge]

Hello, new here, I was creating a 1.2 lootfilter on the tools website, and everything looked fine but when I import it into the current 1.17 game version, the parameters around LP and weaver's will not update, and they are locked to 2 and 7 respectively, and they would not update to the numbers I want no matter what I do in game. Is it because the filter is not compatible with the current game version? Will this be resolved on launch?

[desert sleet]

Yes, the rarity condition was changed in 1.2 and the loot filter version was bumped to 3. The live client (1.1.7) makes loot filters at version 2.

Filters created with the game client will automatically update to the new version when the patch goes live. Trying to load a proactively built 1.2 filter exported from a community site that uses the new format will not work until then.

[deep flare]

Do we have the insight about skill cosmetics mtx price?

[mint surge]

Thank you for the swift response, I am relieved that it is not a problem with my subpar filter creation skill.

[regal patrol]

Will nemesis still be in the game for 1.2 cycle? And if yes will it show up in campaign also?

[desert sleet]

Yes and yes; nemesis is a core feature

[frail escarp]

Can WE get Shatter Option on Shop NPCs or make the Rune 10times cheaper. When u start new char etc its Always a pain to get shards u need

[main lagoon]

how does the weaver tree interact with group play?

if i took the Masque node would they apply the buffs to just me still or all?

is it just the party leader/monolith starter that it counts for?

[finite moon]

Quick question for the Devs regarding the Super Arena, how likely from choosing that node would be the % of echos in a web that would be a Arena or Super Arena if I chose that node plus all other Arena nodes. Would it be like 70% of web being Arena and some Super or would it be more like 30-40% of the web being Arena --- basically wondering if i can get a full empowered monolith web into Arena and Super Arena only 😅

[vocal lion]

You guys have cooked in the last 9 months. BUT all that time, and 100 pages of patch notes and you miss the one thing we really need.. the loot filter rules needs doubling. 75 is not enough for serious endgame MG farmers. How did you neglect this?

[strange patio]

If I buy some unique can be with garbage rolls on MG and If I switch to COF can I imprint these items or would they be blocked from imprinting after switching?

[fleet galleon]

The 75 rules is already pushing it and it affects performance too

[astral reef]

Items from mg are disabled if you change to cof and vice versa

[strange patio]

But does it also apply to imprinting is it blocked from pitting it there?

[prisma axle]

Is there any intention to add that monoliths share corruption levels between timelines? If not is there a specific reason why one wouldn't want that?

[serene mango]

there is already a catchup mechanic that pretty much serves this purpose

[onyx hawk]

LE Tools has the following Lenses:
Obscuring Lens of Time
100% Reduced Chance for Prophecies to have Monolith Events

and:
Focusing Lens of Time
100% Increased Chance per rank to find Events that are not Monolith Prophecies

Shouldn't it be "Events that ARE Monolith Prophecies"?

The patch notes suggest it should be something completely different:
Added a new lens to the Observatory to block all events except Monoliths.
This would equate to "100% reduced chance to find Events that are not Monolith Prophecies".

[reef sable]

Also noticed this - the "not" seems to be in the wrong tooltip. 🤔

[pearl nexus]

imprinted items keep the faction tag, so imprinted MG results in new MG tagged items
and yes, you can place MG items in imprint slots while you are in CoF

[pearl nexus]

Focusing Lens of Time is "100% reduced chance for prophecies to have events that are not monolith"

[onyx hawk]

Aight, so exactly what it should be. Good to know!

The "increased" and "per Rank" seemed really odd there

[steep escarp]

[stable rose]

Hello, I’m a long-time fan of the genre. Here’s a bit about me: 5000 hours in D2 (always in the top ladder on HC), 8000 hours in POE1 (I know all mechanics perfectly, experiment with new builds, farming methods, and am always one of the first to kill bosses), POE2 (top 100 ladder), LAST EPOCH 600 hours (killed your new boss on the first days of release, playing at 2k+ corruption). Also, I am a Game Dev developer with over 6 years of experience. I have some feedback regarding decisions that were made in your game a while ago — conceptually, I don’t understand why they are necessary.

1. You have two main factions: one is analogous to the SSF league, and the other (which raises my questions) is the trader faction with a market system. Here are my questions regarding this faction:

1.1) It's very inconvenient to navigate the Bazaar location to find the specific trader you need to buy/sell items. As a developer myself with years of experience, I understand that this might be due to technical limitations rather than intentional game design, but it still needs a major rework. All traders should be combined into one NPC so players don't have to run around a huge area — Quality of Life (QOL) is crucial for the gaming experience. This leads us to another issue: the Bazaar will feel very empty if there’s only one NPC left. You could further improve QOL by relocating that trader to the player’s hideout and eliminating the Bazaar entirely.

1.2) The inability to resell items seems odd, especially since we’ve chosen the trader faction. In practice, this faction feels like a slightly advanced version of SSF. More issues will arise when Echo Webs are introduced in Season 2. Why? Because these bring new crafting interaction mechanics. Let me explain with examples:

1.2.1) Suppose I want to craft boots with 3+ LP. To achieve this, I buy 6 or more pairs of boots with 1 LP from the auction house and then use the new Season 2 mechanic to combine them. As a result, I get 1-2 pairs of boots with 3 LP and one with 2 LP. In this case, I probably don’t need the 2 LP boots, but I can’t sell them to recoup my costs. My only options are to destroy them or sell them to the vendor. (This also negatively impacts other players’ experiences because if I could resell those boots, it would likely affect their market price, making it easier for others to gather builds and enjoy the game more.)

1.2.2) You’ve added the ability to swap attributes between items (though swapping resistances would also be helpful). Imagine this scenario: I can buy an item with T7 Intelligence (or any other attribute cheaper than what I need), change it to the desired attribute, then purchase a 1 LP unique item and combine it with my modified attribute. This results in a good item that other players may want but can’t craft themselves due to disliking the content or having weaker characters. A major advantage here is that it creates a way to earn money through quick Monolith runs and exploration. I can find various new webs to craft items that I may not need but that others do — ultimately, everyone benefits: I make extra money, players get cheaper items, and you benefit as people use your new mechanic more often. (Currently, I’m confident that once players have decent builds, they’ll stop using it.)

1.2.3) Consider the web analogous to POE’s Divine Orb. The same situation applies: I often buy items with poor rolls on the auction house to combine them and get better stats. If the resulting item isn’t good enough for me but still above average, I could sell it and buy two more items with bad rolls to try again. Or, if I’m lucky, I might buy items just for the thrill and resell them later.

[fleet galleon]

Some of that is just #1210282176680169562 material

[stable rose]

1.3) Currency system — by currency, I mean shard fragments, runes, items that activate bosses, dungeon keys, etc.

1.3.1) Right now, you can obtain shard fragments from the auction house by buying items to break them into shards, but why rely on such inconvenient and clunky methods when you could simply allow direct shard purchases? Players accumulate massive amounts of unwanted shards during gameplay. If they could buy items from the auction house to craft them, spend shards, and resell them, it would partially solve the problem, but this functionality doesn’t exist. Introducing the ability to sell shards would add more fun because every dropped item, even small ones you don’t need, could be converted into gold to improve your build and explore more content.

1.3.2) Runes have the same issue, but unlike shards, they can’t be obtained through workarounds on the market. I might be incredibly wealthy but lack the required number of runes to craft certain items. Conversely, I might have too many runes with no use for them — I’d like to sell them. You also have a rune that turns items into uniques — imagine being able to buy them on the auction house and gamble for excitement. Gambling is essential in the ARPG genre.

1.3.3) There’s the Eye dropped by Harbinger, which serves as a key for the main boss. Many players dislike or can’t handle killing bosses — they prefer clearing maps. If this key remains non-tradeable, it will endlessly pile up for such players. What if they could sell it? For instance, to another player who loves fighting bosses and is willing to do it all day? Everyone wins: the first player gets gold to improve their character and might eventually grow strong enough to fight bosses themselves, while the second gets to fight the boss repeatedly without spending half a day running monoliths and farming lesser Harbingers for keys. Overall, ARPG games should allow players to repeat actions continuously without interruption because players engage in these games meditatively, focusing on one task. If they get bored, they can switch to something else, but the option to repeat actions endlessly should exist.

1.3.4) Referring back to the suggestion above, this also applies to dungeon keys — all currencies should be tradable.

In conclusion, I believe the trader faction needs a redesign. These changes, in my opinion, carry no negative consequences and would significantly enhance the experience in LAST EPOCH. Simply put, the current implementation doesn’t align with the faction’s name, and as your content expands, it will hold you back and create problems.

Sorry for ping dnt know rules.

For 1.2 on reselling:That's specifically what they DON'T want you to do.

[inner quest]

A significant portion of what you just wrote has already been answered in the past, FYI.
Gold as the only trade currency for example was a deliberate decision: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
Same with items not being resellable: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
I'm pretty sure Mike also answered that "why does the Bazaar have multiple NPCs" question before, but I'm not sure what to search for TBH. Might have been during a stream and not in this channel.

[mental plover]

Experimental affix. Experimental affixes cannot be obtained as shards, which means that Experimental affixes are no longer able to be sealed.

Can experimental affixes still be sealed using the Warlord's Riches imprint on the weaver tree?(Champions sometimes drop a pile of items of the same item type that always have a sealed affix matching one of the affixes on the imprinted item)

[jade tendon]

is possible in saison 2 you can change your mouse arrow to something you can see like color ,size ?

There are technical limitations, I won't be in S 2 but it's smth they would like to do

In the mean time you can use Yolomouse

Do you guys expect any issues with all the new features hitting legacy? Or has that been play tested to the point it should be smooth sailing too? Also all altered trees will just be refunded I think they mentioned?

When does the day long Maintenance start? still can login ingame for now.

Timezone difference.

looks like 1:00am GMT+8 from now for my timezone for maintenance to start.

So 1:00am GMT+8 April 18 for me when 1.2 and server is POSSIBLY open.

Got it. Many Thanks.

[fathom meadow]

Just wanted to ask how offline is the offline mode? Do you still need servers up or a connection to play? hope that makes sense

[uncut moon]

nope, you can literally play without steam or internet. Just launch the game exe

[fathom meadow]

oh sweet. It's just that some "offline" games still need you to log in to start or be unable to access during maintenance or without steam. Wanted an option to play offline cause I saw LE doesn have ME servers

Tough decision for sure, I prefer waking up early for a longer sesh 😈

[split ether]

Well they are providing something for both of the sites mentioned. So the quesiton is then what is the criteria for access aka who do I ask.

[crude plover]

Probably contact support about it. There is an API but it's not public currently (don't really even remember what the API 's functionality was, might've been to do with the Bazaar)

Most of the data from LETools and Tunklab are extracted from the game files directly

[viscid bluff]

Just confirming - Shield Throws "Rygar's Fury" passive node doesn't cap at 100% Block Chance, correct?

The % more damage will take into account uncapped Block Chance %?

So if I have 185% block chance Rygar's Fury will account for all 185% Block Chance not just 100% of the 185% correct?

Character data most certainly isn't

Same question for Phalanx

[onyx hawk]

I don't know if it's been answered yet but did Brand of Deception receive the same treatment as Time Rot or Doom with regards to ailments being overwritten by another version with weaker DoT?

[viscid bluff]

And Bastion of Honour - does the Block Chance scaling from Bastion of Honour effect "Rygar's Fury"?

[pastel ruin]

and again same question for Phalanx 😄

[crude plover]

No

Since it's not actual block chance

[viscid bluff]

That's pretty lame =/

[crude plover]

I'd assume the nodes you guys are talking about would go over 100% but I'm not completely sure that's why I didn't answer

[pastel ruin]

letools shows 214% block chance, so i was just wondering if it would scale Vengeance damage with Phalanx

[crude plover]

I'd assume so but not sure. Best to wait for Mike's answer on this

[pastel ruin]

i do see however that bastion conditional block chance wouldnt count towards that damage, which is unfortunate

[manic crown]

Hi Mike!
Some questions regarding Symbols of Hope; Does Gain Rate have the same formula as Cooldown recovery? (Cd / 1 + increased cd)

Is the gain rate (Symbols Of Hope Gain Rate on the tree) actually "increased gain rate", just like the rings and idols or is it different?

[mystic palm]

not sure if its been asked or not yet but whilst servers are down will we be able to prepatch for update tomoz or not?

[crude plover]

No prepatch

[pearl nexus]

hey I just tested this and Phalanx does not get more damage from the 100% conditional block from Bastion of Honour, I get more damage with a random T7 block shield
I don't have a character to test over 100% block though, so I don't know about that part

Been playing since patch 0.8, I love the primalist. Just a heads up My goal for 1.2 is to get EHG to "Bring in an outlier" with a Dryad and +Bees.

Hey does the new Sunforged hammer flat dmg per forged weapon get inherited by your forged weapons based on your number of them or do they check independently their own amount of forged weapons? It's not clear to me if it snapshots or is treated like a buff

[flint bloom]

the flat on that weapon doesnt give FW the flat for existing themselves. never has. some affixes minions just cant get

[keen vault]

okay, so that part just doesn't inherit like chance to trigger X. Thanks!

[unkempt atlas]

I didn't see it in the patch notes but y'all doing any graphical changes

[flint bloom]

there was a engine upgrade during 1.1 and there are def some upgrades in the game (they showed off the new monolith areas already). i doubt everything got touched but some for sure

[wheat flame]

Did they also rework the networking stack? Last time we played there were significant problems with connectivity. Party play was rough and was practically unplayable if it was cross region. Similarly lots of issues with dungeons.

Looking forward to the release!

[flint bloom]

idk what those fancy tech terms are but they have worked on the network quite a bit since 1.0 and the last 2 seasons/resets were pretty smooth (tho player counts did vary so 🤷‍♂️ ). devs are as prepared as they can be

[placid oracle]

Hi Devs,

Will the fact that the value ranges of the items cannot be searched in the market (bazaar) change? For example, the fact that we cannot search for a unique item's health value of 10-50 in the market for 45 and above makes it illogical to play trade faction. What do you think about this? Do you think it should be like this or is it a deficiency?

Hello mike, how are you today?

[placid plinth]

You can do it as soon as it is unlocked and it costs Memory Amber which you'll collect in tombs and cemetaries.

[vague holly]

How many players do you expect at launch?

[candid sequoia]

@placid plinth Big fan, see you all the time on ActionRPG's recap on Saturdays (Sorry busy irl, can't watch the friday livestreams). If you have not seen this please give it a watch & share with the team. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBAnK5XukQc Looking for a chuckle not a reply. 😄

[flint bloom]

please follow #rules 10 and not ping EHG members. just post what you want here.

[unkempt atlas]

Is the game going to be down for 25 hours

[flint bloom]

the game will go down in 1 hour, for 24 hours

[astral reef]

I already miss it

[placid plinth]

It's normal, not like ICDRS

[fading ermine]

Will having more than a 100% potion to health converted give you more ward ? ie. 100 hp from pot with 125% conversion rate gets u 125 ward?

[placid plinth]

Character data is what the API does but they are right, it's not public at the moment.

[plucky cape]

Woohoo, our lord and saviour mike xD. How will the patch go with legacy, any expected early bugs? really hoping woven echoes will proc correctly. Also, what's going to happen to the runes that will be removed from the game but i still own in legacy? will they dissapear or still be usable or?

[placid plinth]

Yea, I've seen it. I would probably be howling with laughter if I was more personally removed. I just don't like how much of a jerk AI_Mike is and I worry that people might think that it's clips of things I've said or something.

[lime roost]

@placid plinth Hi, what about drop rate of items for gift trade? do u increase drop chance for this?

[placid plinth]

Expecting modest numbers, preparing for overwhelming numbers, hoping for personal best numbers.

[placid plinth]

please read #rules 10

[placid plinth]

Little sore but excited for tomorrow.

[lime roost]

ok, I got it) what about my question?

[split ether]

Can I ask and smile somewhere for the access? Interpretive dance in addition is also possible. I think.

[placid plinth]

old runes will vanish

[placid plinth]

I make no promises at all as I have no control over it. You can ask by opening a support ticket but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Especially this close to launch.

!support

[fiery lily]

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

[split ether]

Yeah someone suggested that earlier, sent the ticket already.

[lime roost]

Mike, what about drop rate of items for gift trade? do u increase it?

[rotund wolf]

do we still need to grind for currency to fight abberoth in 1.2

[round vessel]

Are there cosmetic Shapeshifting forms planned in the foreseeable future? I'd love to play swarmblade but that thing looks so damn ugly to me personally

[placid plinth]

It caps at 100%. Anything over that is wasted.

[earnest orbit]

Did any of the devs actualy try and make Love Epoch or was that just for the april fools promo?

[pulsar heath]

I have a question, passive skill Tactician (from Aerial Assault skill), After landing, "all your active Ballistas prioritize targets around you, deal more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers) per Intelligence, and gain increased attack speed". How long does the buff from this skill last?

[opaque spoke]

Will VK's ever get Ephemeral Stance back, or some form of it? Loved that stance

[wet gyro]

can u guys confirm that even if items are modified by woven crafting it will still be listeable on the bazaar ?

[placid plinth]

I can't find any changes to it.

[placid plinth]

no, just a joke made in photoshop

[placid plinth]

yes, however you have identified the single most involved skill to make a cosmetic for in the whole game.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, question about Symbol of Hope
When you consume them, does it reset the CD to get the next one ? Or is it always running in the background ?

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure that because the ballista doesn't last that long, it's just for the rest of the ballista's duration.

[zenith crypt]

are the servers ready like we are Mike ?

[placid plinth]

Maybe, drop it in #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider it.

[uncut lily]

I have question about imprint items in Woven tree. If you play CoF and have item with CoF mark. You imprint that item into tree. then swap into merchant's guild. will be the drop simillar to imprinted item CoF or it will be sellable thru Bazaar?

[placid plinth]

as long as it was eligible going in, yes

[placid plinth]

maintains the tag

[placid plinth]

they are having their pre-game nap

[placid plinth]

always running

[plucky cape]

So i've been informed memory amber can be used to respec the weaver tree, and we can only have 1 active at a time. are you able to reveal anything about the cost, or can we at least just presume it's very reasonable like with passive respec atm? 😛

[placid plinth]

The mechanism around opening the portal to fight Aberroth has not changed.

[earnest orbit]

When can we romance Majasa then? I'll take one for the team if we need to.

[placid plinth]

I don't know the cost off the top of my head. It's reasonable but constant respecing for new situations will be a waste. The cost is also kinda meaningless if you don't know how fast you can get it.

[placid plinth]

I'm sure there is an alternate reality out there somewhere where we actually did it.

[wet gyro]

can you confirm that every idol stat can be acquired by both item factions ? Since it was kinda misleading that the patchnotes said that specific idols were added to the Prohepcy drop pool .

[plucky cape]

All you need is a fishing minigame at this point. memes aside, do you think we'll ever have a 'hideout' or co-op minigame system? not in season 2 obviously

[onyx hawk]

I can't find an answer to the question if Brand of Deception received the same treatment as Time Rot or Doom with regards to ailments being overwritten by another version with weaker DoT. Were there any similar changes to other ailments besides the ones mentioned in the patch notes?

[vestal vigil]

how does the dev team feel about allowing players to downgrade their game version in offline mode? would be kinda cool to replay old patches in the future but dunno how realistic that is

[pulsar heath]

Why does Ballista gain both increased damage and attack speed per point of Dexterity, while other totems only gain damage and health per attribute point? Ballista also seems much easier to scale with critical chance and critical multiplier through gear. Last season, I easily pushed over 3k corruption with a Ballista build stacking Dex and Int, and it made Abberoth melt in under 10 seconds.

Do you think Ballista has too many advantages compared to other minion or totem-tagged skills? Even though I see it’s getting some nerfs this season, it still looks very strong and easy to build.

[desert sleet]

There are no item faction-specific affixes in the game. Both MG and CoF can drop or enchant any of the new idol affixes. The patch note is referring to more idol bases being included in prophecies (which can drop for players of either faction).

[placid plinth]

Those types of things are pretty natural extensions of the core gameplay.

[low peak]

Any chance we're getting DLSS before 1.3?

[shadow locust]

hey Mike just wishing you and the team best of luck tommorw 🫡

[placid plinth]

Pretty sure it's just the ones listed in the patch notes which includes Abyssal Decay.

[placid plinth]

Way to much work to maintain for very little gain. Drop it in #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider something for the game.

[twin atlas]

Do we need to wait till server's up for update or soontm?
btw Good Luck for the team and everyone

[placid plinth]

Because having everything scaling the same is less interesting than this. I'm not really going to speculate on if it's OP or not.

[flint bloom]

yea. you cannot preload. gotta wait til tomorrow

[placid plinth]

Adding something like that mid season is extremely unlikely.

[lavish aurora]

Hello just want to make sure, does the warpath warslash more damage part affect ailments applied by warslash?

[pine chasm]

Just a little clarification, is the symbol gain rate on the SoH skill tree "more" rate or "increased"?

[timid fjord]

can lightning blasts from the adorned idol's prefix 'chance to cast lightning blast when hit while you have lightning aegis' trigger double and quad casts since the node on the tree specifies skill 'lightning blast cannot double cast if it is channelled or cast by another skill'?
Oh and does mana guide make focus cast the blasts or does the item do it, so would it be eligible for double/quad too?

[primal folio]

So question - why do the mtx packs not include the cheaper mtx packs that come before it? was going to buy the top one and just noticed that.
Could you guys perhaps do a combo to have all for cheaper price than buying it all individually?

[flint bloom]

they do for these set of packs

[low copper]

Hey devs! Super excited for tomorrow's launch hope everything goes smoothly 🙏
Have you guys considered/are considering a quick price check feature?

Having a look at through threads and reddit, pricing your item seems to be a big barrier in using the AH fully for the MG faction, with a bunch of players doing lazy 1k gold on all item sales.
I'm not a dev so unsure about the difficulty of implementation but it could just open an AH window with auto-filled in info when you quick check an item.

[primal folio]

Im relatively new but I don't see that option anywhere though?

Or do you mean only the set of packs they released today do that? Those I can see

[flint bloom]

the new ones today, the weaver packs, have the "get everything in lower packs" the older eternal packs do not (one of the reasons they are leaving, i think)

[primal folio]

So you're telling me the most expensive pack is only 60€ & has all of that?
I stg EHG is impressive even on stuff like this.

Appreciate the help!

[flint bloom]

yeah, imo, crazy value

[fringe void]

hey EHG, what happens to your heartseeker attack that's travelling to an enemy if the enemy dies before the attack connects?
does it fizzle or auto retarget something nearby?

[burnt schooner]

Hi 🙂 Does Wolatile Reversal's new node "nether convergence" still pull in orbs if you re running dark moon (self orbiting orbs)

[placid plinth]

it picks a new target on the fly (unless you take the node which disables this)

[placid plinth]

orbiting orbs shouldn't be pullable

[placid plinth]

We consider everything that gets put in #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

doesn't work when triggered

[placid plinth]

yes

[hot kettle]

For converting Shield Throw to void does lava burst also convert? So void burst?

[night tusk]

IF i want to practice run do i have to launch in offline mode because the play in offline button once i launch does not work

[fleet galleon]

right click it on steam and there's launch options
and you should be able to select offline

[vague holly]

Sounds good

[placid plinth]

lava burst has no element conversions

[fluid axle]

Does skill MTX apply to subskills? like for example, cosmic smite -> will that make fissures also look cosmic?

[ionic pivot]

the true/ full offline mode and the offline login both do not work when i try to play via Geforce now, is there a solution for this ?

[quartz nimbus]

Is there a graphical update on how multishot looks? Feel like its very underwhelming visually.

[flint bloom]

not thru geforce afaik. but justincase this is how you get there https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1259910320558702726

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure in general no but it would be really nice. I think it's a case by case basis as it can get a little messy if 2 skills can trigger the same sub skill

[ionic pivot]

yeah thats what i meant by true offline mode. i already tried it and changed the settings, but it still wont let me go into the game

[flint bloom]

yeah im pretty sure it just doesnt work thru geforce. but i wanted to make sure you had the correct info

[celest verge]

is acid flask's hydrochloric acid node giving global chance to poison if the player is standing in the poison pool or if the monster is?

[shadow swift]

in S2 - do you still get the +1 to all stats after completing the campaign

[placid plinth]

No idea how geforce now affects this but if you want support, best place is through our support site

!support

[fiery lily]

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

[crude plover]

Yes, nothing says it was removed

[thorn harness]

For the new woven supporter packs, if I buy the lowest pack for now, can I upgrade to a higher pack later on? Will the cost be adjusted accordingly (basically only paying the difference in cost) ?

[placid plinth]

You have a chance to poison enemies while [you are] standing in your Poison Pools.

[ionic pivot]

thanks, ill make a ticket. was hoping to get some practice in before live

[placid plinth]

They don't do price differential upgrading. This was something we wanted but couldn't have.

[grim geyser]

super excited for the update, the Countenance of Majasa seems like the new go to answer for "I keep dying to DoTs" is there any chance we'll get an affix similar to "% of block effectiveness applies to damage over time" for non-uniques?

[split otter]

i buy the woven legend pack on steam but i dont have the badge forum, how much time need?

[flint bloom]

likely until s2 drops tomorrow

nothing is 'live' till then

[nocturne oyster]

Why, why did you not change the ingame message from 1 hour downtime to 24 hours? Far from everyone reads announcements on steam/discord/etc.

They just open the game and play.

This is more serious than it might sound, massive disappointments for people that waited to hour to then read the announcements.

[severe cypress]

is there a reason we can't use mtx in offline play? just seems weird to me since there's a full offline mode

[flint bloom]

tech blocked. working on it.

[severe cypress]

you beautiful bastards!!! love that!! you guys have been awesome with this game and supporting the players!!! 😍

[split otter]

LOL, but badge is a forum icon...wth xD

[flint bloom]

something something servers are down so it cant transfer? idk. lol. if its not up a bit after servers get up tomorrow then reach out to support. pretty sure its still 'early' for the packs to be out so idk if its steam thing that hasnt sent confirmation yet

[placid plinth]

always a chance for things that get added to #1210282176680169562 . We did also just drop the relative damage of all dots by quite a bit.

[split otter]

why the offline mode need a online mode ?

[placid plinth]

sorry for the confusion, I'm not sure what happened.

[flint bloom]

it doesnt. true offline mode can be accessed https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1259910320558702726

[nocturne oyster]

I hope you will fix ingame messages to match what is going on in the future, we sat and waited for an hour, read the announcement afters, it wasn't a particularly nice experience

[uncut lily]

My apology if this question has already been asked. With merchants guild will there still be all those vendors or number of those vendors will be reduced for better player experience?

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, do you know if Covenant of Light buff any of these nodes in Holy Aura or Symbol of Hope?

[placid plinth]

Season 2 still has them split up. If you'd like us to consider a change, drop it in #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

no effect

[fluid pilot]

Is it possible to make the minimap show quick travel ports greyed out if you havent walked close enough to it? as a new player (less than 4 hours) i find it a little tricky when the opacity dosent change on the minimap

[plain void]

I don't know if you can answer this but, you couldn't have because of tech limitation (for S2) or because of publisher/legal stuff?

[placid plinth]

probably, drop it in #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider it

[placid plinth]

tech limitations

[viscid bluff]

From Earlier in the AM:

Just confirming - Shield Throws "Rygar's Fury" passive node doesn't cap at 100% Block Chance, correct?

The % more damage will take into account uncapped Block Chance %?

So if I have 185% block chance Rygar's Fury will account for all 185% Block Chance not just 100% of the 185% correct?

[neon pulsar]

Any idea to implement pause in the game in a future like poe 2?

[plain void]

They talked about it in the podcast. They are looking at it but it's harder than they thought it would be

[fluid pilot]

thanks mike, i wrote it in the UI area. I am hoping for your success coming this new patch. I like the game so far, just small stuff I notice!

[primal folio]

Mindblown there's devs here answering build specific questions & overall stuff with a 2min wait time lmao. How awesome is that.

[placid plinth]

I thought you got answers to that already.
It does use uncapped block chance, however if you have an effect which grants a guaranteed block which adds 100% block chance to your character sheet, that extra 100% chance will be ignored.

[viscid bluff]

Thank you, yeah Cyborg answered the Bastion tech not functioning, just not the uncapped portion

[autumn cipher]

Any plans to re-enable family sharing on steam so i can play from my other acc as i was doing originally. 😢

[hoary frigate]

is Flame Rush a channeling skill? if so then why it doesnt have a 'channeling' tag?

[lilac karma]

What servers does last epoch run on? Like do yall know the actual hardware?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure the exact specs off the top of my head but we do know the actual hardware that it is running on. It's something we've upgraded a couple times now.

[placid plinth]

yes, no idea

[worthy iris]

Does symbol of hope now buff ring of shields fire damage with the reworked immolation node/attunment damage scaling? IIRC it wasn’t working with fire nova last patch

[placid plinth]

Steam would need to make some changes to the way family sharing works for it to be possible for us to use. I don't see them ever making those changes though.

[amber hill]

Is the new functionality for timerot, doom and abyssal decay to replace existing DoTs (weaker DoT does not overwrite stronger DoT) also applicable to other such ailments like Spreading Flames, Plague, Brands, etc.
This is pretty big for things like Aergon's greater fireball(Spreading Flames) and Brand of Deception (which people are excited for).

[limber pasture]

it has the tag currently in 1.1.7, and lastepochtools shows it is still there in 1.2
I'm not sure what that person is on about

[fading cypress]

What will happen to glyphs you are planing to remove in next patch?

[somber marten]

Gone. Poof.

[lilac karma]

What is the name of the hardware?

[placid plinth]

symbols of hope does not buff immolation

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I'm not going to bug the server team right now to find out.

[lilac karma]

haha fair enough

[hoary frigate]

sorry was using maxroll LE Planner. there's no 'channeled' tag

[limber pasture]

well there's your problem, don't use maxroll

[worthy iris]

Thanks for letting me know! Is there a specific reason for that? I know RoS has the minion tag, and i just assumed minions counted as allies. If symbols DO buff the other minions, why is RoS the exception?

[placid plinth]

Only the ones listed were changed.

[autumn cipher]

sigh guess ill have to buy it again on main account i guess.

[fading cypress]

I get that, but any compensation for gathering them for so long ?

[placid plinth]

The shields from ring of shields do get the buff from symbols and they are not an exception. It just doesn't do anything for the ability cast when you have the immolation node.

[worthy iris]

Gotcha that makes sense, thanks a ton

[placid plinth]

I don't think they get converted or anything.

[amber hill]

RIP Spreading flames, hopefully this functionality will be rolled out to other ailments in the future

[final widget]

Y'all should unpin this from the patch video

"@LastEpochGame
för 5 dagar sedan
In case anyone is wondering, the Woven Legend Supporter pack video is playing before the premier just as a default placeholder. The Patch Overview video will play when it unlocks."

[sage tendon]

Does anyone have the formula for boss ward decay?

[magic crystal]

Is the 24h downtime just a safe buffer for patching and database migration and such or does it really take that long?

[flint bloom]

mostly a safe buffer

[quasi shale]

Does 'Amalgam of Primalists' (+Armor granted to minions) on the Bone Golem tree stack per Golem?

[placid plinth]

doesn't stack. also somehow doesn't stack with the spriggan aura

[placid plinth]

I don't think we've ever actually shared it

[hollow ether]

Heya o/ I remember trying to play with health globes from Holy Aura and Healing Hands' skill trees in 1.0, and they seemingly weren't working (I didn't see any drop, I don't know if they actually were never dropping or if they were invisible). Has that been fixed since then? I haven't seen anything about it in various patch notes, but I thought I'd ask to be sure. Thanks in advance <3

[magic crystal]

Question regarding this tooltip:

Your hits have a chance to inflict enemies with Time Rot. Additionally, Time Rot deals more damage per 1% global chance to slow with void skills, more damage per 1% global Time Rot chance with void skills and more damage per 1% increased melee attack, throwing or cast speed, whichever is lowest, (all multiplicative with each other and with all other modifiers).

Mathematically speaking, where are the parentheses here in regard to the whichever is the lowest specifier? Does this apply to the attack speed and cast speed or does this apply to the three more damage statements in that list?

[placid plinth]

no idea why it wasn't working or when it got fixed but it is working

[hollow ether]

Please correct me if I'm wrong devs / Mike, but I'm pretty sure the "whichever is the lowest" is about the speed stats - you gain the first two "more damage" modifiers, and a third "more damage" modifier that's based on the lowest of your stats among melee attack speed, throwing speed, and cast speed.
(Also, if answering instead of devs is not allowed, please let me know and I'll delete the message. I just thought I'd help out)

Edit: Awesome, thanks for the health globe answer Mike! Much love ❤️

[tropic yoke]

Question regarding Storm Totem.
Does Storm Totem /w Unmatched Storms benefit from Friends of the Tempest?

[pine dome]

Storm Totem is not spending Storm Stacks to cast Storm Bolts
It just cast Storm Bolts. So it doesnt benefit (and also cannot have ) from Storm Stack/Storm Stack generation

[placid plinth]

you can see it split up more clearly in game. the attack and cast speed only applies to the last part.

[tropic yoke]

So it can't generate Storm Stacks for the player? Is what I'm understanding.

[pine dome]

It can, sorry I thought you want to know if it could generate Storm Stacks for itself

[sage tendon]

Sadge. I'm trying to do dps calcs 😦

[tropic yoke]

Thanks for the response. 🙂

[lethal onyx]

When will the update be available for download on Steam?

[flint bloom]

when the timer on their website goes to 0

[stiff pilot]

Will we be able to "upgrade" a supporter pack and not pay the full cost? Say i buy the Woven Vanquisher for 39 euro, will I still have to pay the full 59 euro if I later want to Woven Legend pack?

[flint bloom]

you cannot upgrade

[lilac karma]

devs is this true? https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1k0sjod/launch_tomorrow/

[tough cloak]

I personally am a total fan of portal effects whn you go back to town. In other games we can randomly use all (or some) variants, is that also going to be a thing somewhere down the line?

[marble seal]

portal effects are in game...

[mossy cliff]

Hey! Any plans to add some more Buff tags to Sentinel skills? right now the choice is quite limited, and there are some skills that do provide buff effects, but don't gain the Buff tag. Smite, Lunge, Judgement, Shield Bash, Ring of Shields, VR, Anomaly to name a few.

[flint bloom]

if you want the devs to consider it, please use #1210281911872786482 or #1210282176680169562

[humble axle]

Good afternoon, I know questions about paragon types systems revolving around gaining passive stats endlessly post max level has been asked about before, but I can’t recall what LE dev stance was on it. So I was curious how LE devs feel about it and if the mindset has changed in the last while or so.

[placid plinth]

Generally not a fan. Stance unchanged.

[marble seal]

LE has such a good gear grind that i dont feel u even need a paragon system as there is always better gear more favor etc u get from playing more

[empty glacier]

Hey! Any plans on adding new classes or removing the "genderlock" on existing classes? I dont enjoy playing male characters on games so having more options for me would be great

[crude plover]

There are plans to add new classes but not in the immediate future since they've stated that they'll probably do additional masteries for existing classes before making new classes.

Character customization has been discussed and it's not something they're against but it's not a priority nor planned as it does cost quite a bit of dev time since they'd need new models for pretty much all class specific equipment.

[dry wasp]

Best wishes to you guys, the effort put on the new patch deserves the best, can't wait for tomorrow

[spare carbon]

Hello there!
I play the game at 141 fps at 1440p and I noticed a bit of jittering/stuttering on my sentinel when using evade. The patch notes for 1.2 said it will be improved - will I be fine then?

[amber elm]

Not sure if this is asked here or said somewhere else: if I buy the first tier of supporter packs, are the others discounted because of that purchase?

[dark frigate]

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

[ashen sluice]

Hello will there be any skill mfx added in game meanwhile season 2? 🙂

[marble seal]

probably, even tho im not getting stuttering now

[upbeat dagger]

Do the passives Sapping Strikes & Mana Warp work with Heartseeker when converted to a throwing attack from Ravager's Dart? Assuming you have reduced the mana cost to 0 using the Ballista's prefix for rings?

[gusty matrix]

I know it's generally not a thing for us Canadians, but have you ever considered regional pricing for us?

With the crazy exchange rate and taxes on digital goods the Woven pack is $90.

Still bought it but wondering if you guys have though about it.

[onyx pewter]

Will you ever make cosmetics offline as well? I sooo want to buy the new supporter packs but I only play offline because of travel etc 🙃 Works well in Grim Dawn, got all there.

[dawn cliff]

Is there a way to get a duplicate of a supporter pack pet without buying the pack twice?

[trail kestrel]

Been looking through the weavers Tree on last epoch tools and came across 5 nodes that effect
"Echoes no longer has: Glyphs, Arena Keys, Gold, Runes or Experience Reward will be randomized to something else"

Say if you pick all three nodes, except experience and gold. - https://prnt.sc/bNqmrSoHYwnc
Does this mean all echoes found will be Gold, exp, weapons and armour? 🤔

[severe shadow]

Is the game going on sale soon! want to purchase a upgraded version which is the best version to purchase.

[scenic basin]

About the Weaver Tree while playing in a party: does it only use the host's Tree, and ignoring the tree of all party members? are there any exceptions to this, like the x% chance of doubling echo rewards?

[slender mortar]

When does Volatile Reversal's CD start?

For example if I reduce the CD to ~3s, but increase the 2nd combo's window to 5s, what behavior is expected?

[low summit]

Hey could you get me a Screen Shot of the $90 price tag?

[vital delta]

For Downfall of the Righteous, is the damage conversion from curses only from "increased", or does it apply to all sources of improving curse damage? For example, the Unholy Torment passive node that gives flat spell damage to curses or any sources of "more" curse damage

[glass cosmos]

Hi dev. If i purchase Woven Legend Supporter Pack and Woven Traveler Supporter Pack. Does this means i can have two Pet - Capybara with me at the same time?

[low summit]

Sadly no. We are considering allowing dual pets but currently the system blocks it. It's just not built for it.

[wispy hazel]

Are any of the previous supporter packs going off sale any time soon?

[low summit]

The 1.1 packs will be going away soon, but not on sale.

[jolly maple]

If you have a Elcoes innovation belt with experimental mana on potion use, who the potion crit effect apply to the mana part as well?

[flint bloom]

one day

[final cave]

Just double-checking. I thought the Eternal (1.0) packs are leaving in May.

The Abyssal (1.1) packs are not leaving, right?

Or am I getting my dates mixed up?

[flint bloom]

eternal is leaving in may, abyssal leaving eventually, tho not in may. there will be ample warning just like with the eternals.

prolly in 1.3

but thats just a guess based on how long the packs have stayed before

[mystic palm]

hey devs why is it time moves so slowly when your waiting for something to happen, that you've been waiting for since the news of season 2 hahahahaha

[opaque falcon]

For the ordens watch woven echo, if you have a t7 strength or any attribute affix are those also eligible for reroll or only non exalted/non-sealed attributes?

[abstract ridge]

Not really a question, but I wish you all good luck tomorrow, hope everything will work well.

[viscid bluff]

Is there ever a world where Cosmetic Skins you purchase can be stored locally so you can use them Offline? - I want to support the game, but I know tomorrows server stability is going to be..."challenged" and I'd much rather just play offline since I play SSF COF.

But that tradeoff means buying the skins is pointless for me. I wish I could buy them and get the skins locally stored so I could use them offline and feel comfortable supporting and getting to use the skins.

[unkempt atlas]

what time will you be able to download new update

[pearl dagger]

Should be when the servers come back up and the patch is actually released - <t:1744905600:f> for a magic localized timestamp. They can't do pre-patch/predownload because of offline mode, basically.

[viscid bluff]

Also is "offline" getting Uber Aberroth locked until "online" clears it first? To avoid people item hacking and just going to spoil the fight mechanics? (If I remember something like this was done in 1.0 launch for Aberroth)

[pine chasm]

No locks this time

[viscid bluff]

That's wild...and surprising. Wonder why they aren't locking it this time...

[pine chasm]

The fight does have some new mechanics, but if you practice on current Abby's patterns it won't be much different, or so we've been told. Also for non-HC players, it's important to note you have unlimited attempts at him once you plop him in your echo web.

[humble axle]

Do you still need the screen shot of the cdn price for the woven supporter pack egh-wick if so I can put it in ask the community

[desert sleet]

The Relic of the Observer only requires that the int/dex/str/att affix is non-sealed. Exalted attributes can be changed. Both the tier and roll range of the affix is preserved when swapped.

[hot ingot]

• If I use the unique with +2% Cold Pen with Shatter Strike per stack of bleed on you, does this count for frostbite applied?
• If I use the node in shatterstrike to convert ignite to frostbite, is this the same as if shatterstrike applied a frostbite?
• Does immunity to bleed at low health mean I cant get bleed stacks or I dont get damaged by bleed stacks?

[wooden bridge]

no question just came to say I cant wait for tomorrow and I am hoping for a successful patch day for you guys!❤️

[desert sleet]

"You are inflicted with bleed when you hit an enemy with Shatter Strike"
The unique specifically applies bleed to you when you hit w/ Shatter Strike. Shatter Strike is not what is applying the bleed, the unique is applying it, so it should not be converted.

"+2% Cold Penetration with Shatter Strike per stack of bleed on you"
The cold pen per bleed is specifically about bleeds, so if you had frostbite on yourself, that is not a bleed, so would not apply.

Not sure about how bleed immune interacts with Diothaen's Bloody Nib. I would expect that to work the same based on however it currently functions with bleeds.

[edgy sky]

price is 77.99$ CDN for me for the woven legend

[placid lodge]

A question regarding arenas. The last time I played, nemesis, lizard, wizard, chests, etc could not spawn in arenas as far as I know (or at least was so rare I never found one). Has that been updated at all to make specializing in arenas in the weaver tree worthwhile? I did see that tombs can’t spawn in arenas so that’s one strike against an arena setup already.

[desert sleet]

I tested a couple arenas on the internal build and you can def get shrines, chests, exiled mages, and champions. I only tested a couple, so IDK if the nemesis or lizards can spawn and I just got unlucky or not.

[hot ingot]

I ment if the %cold pen i get per bleed does only apply to shatter strike hits or to the ailments (frostbite) applied by shatterstrike aswell
need to see if i can find those items in a stash i guess

[desert sleet]

"Cold Penetration with Shatter Strike"
Generally speaking, ailments are not considered to be part of the skill that applied them, so I would assume no.

[celest verge]

The Knowledge of Immunity node in the acid flask tree states that if acid flasks base damage is converted it also converts to that penetration. Does it still check uncapped poison resistance or does it check uncapped resistance of the converted element? i.e. if it's converted to cold does it check your uncapped cold res or still check uncapped poison res?

[pine chasm]

1. The penetration should apply to shatter strike and all its applied ailments and procced subskills (like the ice spikes) if it follows the usual rules.
2. Yes, shatter strike applies fresh frostbites equal to the number of ignite stacks removed.
3. iirc it means you cannot gain new stacks, so existing ones will continue to damage you, but you can't get any more of them.

[placid plinth]

it converts

[gentle thorn]

Does blocking some echo rewards increase the chance to spawn a Cemetery (since less overall options), or only for other regular rewards?

[round aspen]

Will the servers be able to handle the influx of players that are expected to arrive tomorrow?

[celest verge]

so just to confirm. if its cold flask, the penetration scaling is based off of my uncapped cold resistance?

[jaunty obsidian]

Does the FG passive "Champion of the Forge" interact with Paladin's "Judgement of the Storm"?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no, only reg

[placid plinth]

I have consulted every mystical being I know, sadly they just kept saying "sir, this is a taco bell".

[placid plinth]

the question being, does the 2H limitation of Champion of the Forge make it not count as crit multi for Judgement of the Storm to see or not. I'm pretty sure it works because the "with a 2H" part just applies regular stats to the player.

[mystic palm]

hey devs why is it time moves so slowly when your waiting for something to happen, that you've been waiting for since the news of season 2 hahahahaha

[primal folio]

I come back 6h later, Mike still answering stuff 😂

[placid plinth]

I took a break and I'm about to vanish for a bit again

[placid plinth]

someone must be looping time walk

[opaque spoke]

still waiting for this unless it got scrapped

[mortal oak]

does the descend node in the smite tree cause the skill to only trigger from another source (IE multistrike) if the CD is up or does the CD only apply to self casts

[placid plinth]

It was originally planned for Season 2 but got pushed back in favor of other content that was more prominantly requested by the community. It is still very much in development.

[placid plinth]

the CD is only for self cast. (this is an exception from the norm and I only know because I just tested it for someone else about an hour ago)

[viscid mirage]

hey does anybody know what time (EST) the twitch drops go live?? my body is ready to play last epoch an ungodly amount of hours this weekend

[opaque spoke]

yay! I remember you or someone else on the team telling me at one point that if we took the currently largest era, and multiplied its size by 2, thats how big ancient era would be, and if that still holds true, i can't wait! I'm all for dark and gritty in arpg's, but i love how vibrant and colorful ancient era is!

[placid plinth]

should be with the patch

[mortal oak]

Does the +mana cost associated with descend apply to the triggers?

[placid plinth]

yes (also just tested this)

[visual apex]

something something artifacts from the ancient era

[halcyon hornet]

just bought the vanquisher support pack - if I wanted to upgrade to the woven legend one, does it not subtract the price of the previous tier? it still shows $59.99 for me

[opaque spoke]

just asked a friend if this was one of those magic cards, and she told me its like $7,000, oh my!

[placid plinth]

a simple mirror will do

[placid plinth]

unfortunately we were unable to make differential price upgrading work for the packs. You might be able to contact support to refund and rebuy. I'm not sure if they can even do that but it's the only way I can think of.

[halcyon hornet]

hmm yeah, that's weird - if that's the case I'd rather refund and buy the higher tier one if it's possible, I'll try that

[placid plinth]

well, technically the one I linked would probably be closer to $18k because it's the alpha version but yea, it's nutty, I do not have one. Cheapest versions are like $2500 for vintage legal ones. It's banned in almost every format.

[visual apex]

One of my local stores has a black lotus in it. Last I saw it was priced at like $25000

[placid plinth]

Don't think I could ever bring myself to buy something like that. More expensive than my car.

[dusk agate]

Are we getting a rework of the auction house this patch?

[placid plinth]

no. We've been making a lot of back end adjustments to it in preparation for more changes.

[jovial parrot]

Are there any approximations on what the size of the update is gonna be? Ill be travelling on data so I wanna know how much i need to put before goong out.

[shadow locust]

are there many new mtx being added to the shop besides the one shown in aarons stream?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have an esitimate

[placid plinth]

yes

[subtle kindle]

🐴 do you think torkrefin's hunger will be more viable this cycle with the buffs to it?

Edit: Can't respond because of timer, but this is the ask the devs channel no?

[placid plinth]

what does that have to do with the bazaar?

[dusk agate]

fair enough... will it be included in this season at some point? Or should we all just play CoF again to avoid the nightmare of last

[wise tiger]

Hi devs. I re-read the patch notes carefully and in the Primalist skill section, Fury Leap wasn't listed? I was wondering if the skill will get a cooldown removal? I want to use it as a side - support skill to get out of danger and not as DPS?

[placid plinth]

it is, you just replied to an answer about the bazaar. I thought you were asking if something related to the bazaar was causing a change to it

[subtle kindle]

ah my bad, didn't realize that would cause confusion.
Thanks for the answer.

[earnest surge]

So twitch drops start in 30 minutes?

[placid plinth]

in 5 hours and 21 mins from now

Edit: this might be wrong.

[earnest surge]

Oh awesome thanks!🙏 @placid plinth

[tacit badge]

Do resonances you farmed with your friends on cycle move to legacy if you didn't use them or dissapear once you move those characters to legacy? - getting mixed answers, i would appreciate clarification. Thank you!

[wise tiger]

By the way, good job on the patch notes. I am loving it! I really enjoy reading it like a book! Thank you!

[desert sleet]

Yes, they will be merged when you merge your previous season stash to legacy along with all other stash-wide data. There's a new confirmation modal in season 2 that will explicitly list if there are resonances being merged.

[merry stirrup]

I just wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you. The cherry blossom dash effect is exactly the thing I want and will gladly buy. I am so excited!!!!!!!!! Tysm again, so excited. ❤️

[long merlin]

Did anything change how our characters access the blessings we found on different characters?

I know, that normal monolith progress will be shared, what about the normal blessings?
Can we get instant access to them once the character has access to the end of time quest for the monolith? And how good are they? Do we get the minimum roll on them for our alts?

What about the grand blessings? Are well rolled blessings still bound to each character and if i clear a timeline with my alt i get access to the minimum rolled grand one from my main after i completed it?

Sorry, for the long and weird question xD

Couldn't find an info about it 🙂

[placid plinth]

I might have made a mistake on twitch drop availability. Looking into it now. It might be live at midnight UTC which I think was 18 mins ago.

[blazing nacelle]

Have you guys considered A) adding checkpoints for your larger zones when the unfortunate should happen during the campaign and you die and have to do the walk of shame? and B) allowing us to TP from the map to the same instance we are in to get back to the start of zone without resetting it?

(hope you guys are having a chill maintenance and everything is going smooth༼-つ-◕_◕-༽つ)

[soft comet]

the walk of shame...😂 , that cracked me up, i felt that one lol

[placid plinth]

It's the same as live I think. You gain access to all min rolls of all discovered blessings on that stash. Greater blessings are distinct items from normal blessings.

[placid plinth]

Pretty sure both of those things are in the game. Some zones might have longer checkpoints than others.

And if you'd like us to consider adding something, please use #1210282176680169562

[blazing nacelle]

oh i didnt see that my b

[earnest surge]

EHG_foton said it starts this time tomorrow 👍

[placid plinth]

A much better source

[late basin]

I didnt see it on the forums, is there going to be any QOL for leaving an instance and it being reset?

[midnight pier]

Did the upgrade to the new version of Unity allow you all to let us change the cursor size? I remember there being some engine limitation on it? (Think I used an approved third party in 1.0)

Edit: I searched AFTER asking the question and someone already asked. Don't hate me Mike 😳

[lament tulip]

Still gotta use yolomouse for now

[wise tiger]

Just asking? I do have one more question. Are there any consideration or plans to add AMD FSR into the game? FSR is open-source. This means the code is available for developers to use and modify, allowing for wider adoption and potential enhancements.

[brittle canyon]

What time does s2 start so that I can leave early from work

[flint ember]

9AM PST.

[red urchin]

there's a countdown on lastepoch.com

[placid plinth]

We don't have a method for putting servers in limbo to be resumed.

[late basin]

I mean even to portal to town and back?

[placid plinth]

FSR is on the list. Please use #1210282176680169562 if you'd like us to consider adding something.

[wise tiger]

Thank you! I shall put FSR into suggestion section. Thanks! 😄

[dry trail]

Hey 🙂
Can I use DX12?
-force-d3d12 will break the game, making it look all glitchy and without colour 😛

Is it not possible?

Asking because AMD and DX11 drivers for shaders 😛 Not really great.

[placid plinth]

We only have dx11 at the moment, sorry.

[crude plover]

How many priests did you guys bring into the server room

Any protective charms?

[dry trail]

Oh okay thanks 😄 I am using DXVK anyway so that helps alot 🙂

Game runs amazing on DX11 anyway, so no worries

[marble hound]

No Smite Sith Lord at launch. much sadness

[viscid mirage]

so weird technical question.. are there any differences in the offline/online mode?? Like if I play offline are all the drops and stuff the same as online? Gonna be going on a trip soon and wanna start an offline character I think but only if they are the same. I know chat and leaderboards obviously won't be there

[placid plinth]

The various server locations around the globe combine to form a protective barrier.

[placid plinth]

Identical

[viscid mirage]

heck yeah. good luck tomorrow, you guys are the best!!

[wise tiger]

FSR 2.2, including FSR 3, can be used in DirectX 11 games. So, it's still a good middle-ground to add or consider FSR for the future?

[dry trail]

Oh yeah for sure. The thing about Direct X 11 is how it handles CPU load. It is a big thing in these games, and shaders aswell. On AMD there is quite a big hit in using DX11, not that it matters in this game alot, I am getting really nice framerates on my 7800xt.

DX12/Vulkan drivers are 'closer to the metal' meaning less work is done by the driver and instead more work is done by the game itself. As a result driver efficiency is no longer an issue as long as the game is properly written. AMD's drivers in DX11/OpenGL are supposedly worse-performing than their NVidia counterparts, meaning that when a game moves from DX11/OpenGL to DX12/Vulkan it actually has a 'handicap' removed.

[placid plinth]

Please take discussions to #💬┃general

[wise tiger]

Thanks. Sorry about this.

[placid plinth]

It's ok, just want to be about to keep an eye on this channel for questions.

[granite sorrel]

For a game revolving around time manipulation you guys sure don't utilize any of that to make tomorrow come faster 😔

[placid plinth]

I've been trying to find whoever keeps casting time walk but it's no use.

[plucky dragon]

Do the Avalanche boulders procced by idols and Halvats count as Large boulders or small?

[placid plinth]

I think I answered this recently. I'm away from my computer to check right now but you can try searching in here and I bet it will come up.

[trail kestrel]

not sure if there is alot of questions on the backlog atm, but would love a answer to this regarding the weavers tree node(s) ☺️

[celest verge]

does "sapping strikes" on the rogue passive tree work with triggered skills? for example, acid flask with a cost reduced to 0 being thrown from explosive traps?

[plucky dragon]

Found several times it was asked but no answer, I'll circle back in a few weeks when you can breathe again

[elder lion]

copilot tells me they're considered small https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/ujmob9/halvars_set_question/?rdt=52777 https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/avalanche-shaman-guide

[desert sleet]

Ya, that let's you customize what kinds of reward icons can spawn. There's filter buttons in the top right of the monolith screen that show all the different types. The weaver tree adds 3 new ones you can opt in to that don't naturally spawn and those nodes that ban certain types block the base reward types that they specify.

[desert sleet]

No, it says "When you use" so it only works for directly cast skills, because of the "you" part.

Also note that you have a 0 cost skill and some other effect (e.g. a Black Arrow from Dark Quiver) makes it "consume" mana on use, it is still a "0 cost skill" for the purposes of Sapping Strikes and Coated Blades, since "consumed" mana is not a "cost."

[pine chasm]

Small, but they can be turned large with that one spec node that gives a chance to convert small to large.

[placid plinth]

I think I started looking and got side tracked last time.

[hot kettle]

what is the point of having a separate 'fire penetration with ignite', when 'fire penetration' already covers ignite? Unless it doesn't?

[visual apex]

Fire penetration with ignite dosesn't give you penetration to non-ignite sources of fire damage.

[hot kettle]

okay ty, I guess maybe if you had a skill that isn't fire, that applies ignite, then you want fire pen with ignite

[placid plinth]

Actually fire pen would still apply in this situation.

[crude plover]

Does fire pen with ignite apply to ignites applied by shadow daggers though is the real question

Jkjk (it should right)

[granite tendon]

Is the memory leaks fixed? Also is these problems on offline mode?

[desert sleet]

We've fixed a bunch of issues for both online and offline and will continue to fix them as they are reported (F8 in game is very helpful!). Full details are in the patch notes.

[mild monolith]

Good luck with the servers tomorrow EHG. Hope you guys get some sleep.

[gusty matrix]

Doesn't seem like I can attach an image in this channel. Its $77 CAD, and then sales tax thats applied here which brings it to $89.67. Yes us Canadians pay sales tax on digital goods 😦

I know its normally not a thing for Canadians to have regional pricing, just figured I'd ask. Was planning to buy it regardless.

[smoky prairie]

Do last seasons supporter packs function the same way as the new ones where you just need to purchase the highest tier to get everything?

[cunning charm]

I don't have a question, I just wanted to send the devs my love and support

[placid plinth]

no, that's something new with this season.
the game editions do contain the stuff below but the Eternal packs only contain what they each say they contain.

[placid plinth]

hey there bud, yea, it's a little frustrating but we should have regional pricing, it's just usually not enough to offset the currency conversion or tax eh

[fringe granite]

so to any dev that can answer ig i just bought the game today and this might be a dumb question cause i know its says the servers are down for tomorrow but can you not play in offline mode?

[buoyant gust]

Enough yapping in the other chats for me tonight. Best of luck with the launch tomorrow EHG! Hopefully things go smoothly and you all get some sleep too. ❤️

[placid plinth]

yup, just gotta go into the launch settings in steam to start in offline mode.

"normal" mode has the option to play online or offline characters but with the servers down, none of that works right now.

You can still play pure offline mode though.

[fringe granite]

ah ok sick so not a dumb question lmao thank you!

[smoky prairie]

lol I am so glad you guys switched to the system similar to PoE with everything being included in the tiers. I'm having a tough time figuring out what I have and don't have. I currently own Woven legend and Abysall legend as well as ultimate edition. I hope the ultimate edition wasnt the abysall stuff. So am I then missing everything in Eternal and most of Abysall?

[placid plinth]

ultimate edition is distinct from abyssal packs. The Abyssal Legend Pack does also contain the things below.

This link has a good view of all the packs in 1 place.
https://portal.lastepoch.com/shop

[smoky prairie]

Oh cool so the Abyssal function the same way as the Woven. So I am just missing teh Eternal which need to be purchased indivdually

[placid plinth]

welllllll, almost Abyssal vanquisher/templar don't contain other packs, we were experimenting a bit with a hybrid approach

just to make it extra confusing eh?

[smoky prairie]

lol no more experimenting, okay? Lol

[quasi shale]

Will Skeletal rogue Shurikens be affected by Shuriken MTX?

[regal stratus]

do champions spawn in endless arena?

[gusty matrix]

Im not your bud buddy! Yeah, I figured anyways was more than happy to support you guys. Wishing you guys a hopefully non stressful day tomrorow

[placid plinth]

I don't think so, I just tested 100-170 and didn't get any.

[placid plinth]

I don't think so because I think they might use a different skill. It's possible that we accounted for this and made it work anyways too.

[elfin anvil]

best build for 2 season in your opinion? 🙂

[placid plinth]

I look at best as the most fun and that is so subjective so my best build this season is going to be Heartseeker. I have been waiting for a skill like this in LE for years. It doesn't even matter if I can down uber abby with it or not, it's going to be lots of fun.

[serene mango]

Best of luck for the release and thanks for the hard work ❤️

[elfin anvil]

Yeah, Heartseeker looks dope! Good luck on launch, hope it will be smooth.

[fickle drum]

how does it feel with the new wasd support? smooth?

[tropic yoke]

Will Storm Orbs (Tornado node) convert to FIRE if I pick up the Fire Tornado node?

Can Storm Orbs benefit from "+increased Ignite chance on hit Fire Spells" if Tornado is converted to Fire?

[spiral summit]

May I know the philosophy behind introducing tax to MG?

[split lance]

For meteor does converting it to lightning works on shrapnel too?

[desert sleet]

I really like it. It's basically like WASD was mapped to controller left stick. You can interchangably use WASD and left click.

[desert sleet]

Gold sink to slow inflation (many games have this)

[rose cove]

why is offline broken? yes i set it in steam to offline mode, didnt work. yes. i added --offline afterwards, now i dont get the login screen. yes, i verified game files, same problem.

[wispy scarab]

Speaking of packs, will the ones from last season be kept on the stean dlc/shop website for future purchase?

[somber marten]

1. #nosupport.
2. Seems like there's something wrong on your end. Maybe check your saves?

[rose cove]

i have no saves

[spiral summit]

So left click will still move you then? Or is that optional?

[fickle drum]

Are there any options to alter skill opacity for party members? From a co-op pov, a feature like this would drastically improve the visibility and user experience

[desert sleet]

Left click can be changed to "move only," "move or break destructable," or "move or attack" just like it currently can in 1.1.7. WASD is just a new binding set that adds move up/left/down/right bind options.

[desert sleet]

Not currently, but that would be a good idea for #1210282176680169562 so it gets tracked as a suggestion. We don't track feature requests posted in here.

[edgy sky]

if you use controller, can you still do inventory management/menuing/etc with mouse ?

[desert sleet]

Yes, you can still freely swap between controller and keyboard/mouse as you use one or the other.

[fickle drum]

Ah ok, sorry wasn’t meant to be a suggestion I was curious! 🙂 thanks for the reply

[spark citrus]

Is there a possibility to download the patch before launch?

[spiral summit]

So there's no way to make it so left click doesn't move you? Because when using wasd you have limited keys to press. So you kinda need left click to function as an "attack without moving". Is that possible?

[desert sleet]

WASD is a very early beta and we're eager to hear player feedback as people try it out so we can continue to refine it. FWIW you're still limited to 5 skill binds with WASD so input modes have parity in player power so left click is mostly useful for interacting with things; I don't personally use it for attacking. Try it out tomorrow and if you feel the need to have an attack without moving option, please let us know in #1210282176680169562

[pine dome]

No

[astral reef]

so twitch drops are enabled 8 hours after launch?

[royal rose]

Can i use inappropriate nicknames for my offline adventure? Thinking SmeltItDaddy for forge master class xD

[left fossil]

will that just be in the settings after the patch?

[plucky cape]

Morning guys, happy launch day! could anyone kindly let me know if there will be a specific loot filter setting for the new champion affixes at launch? cheers!

[desert sleet]

They are in the personal category for the affix condition

[plucky cape]

legend, thank you!

[tender osprey]

Since both performance and controller support were upgraded in season 2.... How does LE run on a steam deck? Is it just as good as PC gamepad for controls? Does it still chug in late game with performance?

[elfin anvil]

is there a plans for release on switch 2 in future?

[pine dome]

They plan to release on console, one day. No more info

[main lagoon]

mike? onlybeards when?

[inland laurel]

I am unable to play offline? Says it cant connect to servers

[fleet galleon]

right click the game on steam, select options and there launch options, full offline

[dry canyon]

fyi, this release date being just before a bank holiday is actually really good for me. I think this might work out better as a player than the previous date

[sinful breach]

Hello. The sountrack of the game is really nice. Do you have plans on expanding it? Like making more unique boss themes or something else.

[pine dome]

Nice #1210281911872786482

[wild spear]

Hey there! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but im a Youtuber and Streamer for Path of Exile 2, my leveling and endgame guides the past 3-4 months have gotten over 300k views and my community wants me to try LE. I was wondering if i can speak with someone to get a few keys and do a giveaway these days for the LE hype. Thank you 🙂

@real night Sorry for the ping but I believe you might be the most adequate person for this

[bright venture]

When I trigger Smite through Multistrike, does it count as if I have cast it?
To clarify: do I get the bleed from "The Bleeing Heart" when Multistrike triggers Smite?

Answered in the Sentinel Channel: the bleed won't be procced as Smite isn't directly casted but triggered

[burnt scroll]

WASD means A is busy for movement, does it automatically adapt pet command from A to another key?

@ehg devs

[torn heart]

Are there any plans to customise the menu in future?Personally, I loved the original sound track on the menu.

It's unique and had that same epic feeling that the WoW menu had back in the day

[plucky cape]

Are the new uniques immediately added to the rune of ascendance pool?

[pine dome]

Yes

[wooden lynx]

do the 180% melee crit strike multiplier on the sierpins spear somehow get translated to throwing crit multiplier when playing javelin ? I only read that melee damage gets transformed into throwing damage at 50% value in the case of using javelin and having a spear equipped but it doesnt say anything about melee crit multi getting turned into throwing crit multi.

[pine dome]

whats the point then to have melee crit multi on a unique spear that is designed for a throwing ability? i dont understand, it has no benefit to javelin then.

[pine dome]

Its a spear, so it also can be used for Melee Skill

Dex scaling can be using for Melee Skill too since it gives Area

[neon pulsar]

devs, how much can hold the servers this time? 😄

[inland laurel]

5 hours 41 mins

[ivory summit]

what build are you devs starting as?

[neon osprey]

Me too. If they make cosmetics offline, I will buy the new supporter packs as well (I bought the legacy packs already but found cannot use them offline).

[neon pulsar]

I remember that in an interview they said it's in their plan to bring cosmetics offline. Correct me if im wrong

[queen mason]

I plan on purchasing the game and every cosmetic available on offer tonight. The studio deserves at least that much.

I would love it if the cosmetics were applied offline as well.

Mike said he was looking forward to playing heartseeker

[limber plume]

[somber marten]

[flint bloom]

Hey! Any known issues about Item-filters right now? Wrote one yesterday and any time i try to use it today it switches back to "No Filter".
And my follow up question to that is, do we can use the offline filter that we created in the new league aswell?

[inner quest]

you're probably trying to use a filter made for the new version of the game, which includes stuff that doesn't exist in the current 1.1.7 game client, meaning it just fails to load (assuming you made it using lastepochtools.com, if you made it in-game I have no idea)

[graceful totem]

So that means a new version was uploaded again from 11 PM last night until today? I didn’t notice anything about that. I only wrote the filter really late yesterday, and today I wanted to test it again.

[thorn wigeon]

Is there a possibility of Steam Achievements in the future?

[flint bloom]

yes. one day the devs want it

there is no eta

[real adder]

Looks like ask mod not ask dev. 😂

[flint bloom]

[thorn wigeon]

24hours after buyed the woven legend and i dont see the badge on forum 😡

[flint bloom]

i told you to wait till after the patch drops. they also havent been available for 24 hours yet

[real mist]

Gl with launch today!! I can't play until after work tomorrow but hope everything goes smoothly!

[split otter]

But if the forum is still working, the process of purchasing and giving the items should continue even if the game server is down, and the only thing I can check if the purchase was done correctly is if I received the badge, but well, I'll wait today, otherwise I'll have to claim it for not receiving the items.
