[leaden bear]

and yea, I know about the no nerfs, that's why I was focusing on buffing/reworking the underperforming ones

but yea, I get you on power sprint. I had assumed the rework of sentinel was an intended baseline (or near) of how things are wanted.

and yea, I get the drive to push for more content, but if these are the numbers then letting this tech debt go when it is the core gameplay and 3/5ths of the options of said gameplay sounds/feels like buying paint for a car that still needs body work

and thx much for the response!

[magic barn]

Yup I did that and thank you for answering! I’ll
Build a
Manually or just
Keep the game running

[coral moss]

nah its just a repost of the week 1 stats (wich is says on top of the infographic) wich was posted early on in the season.

[placid plinth]

what belt are you wearing?

[arctic wadi]

oh didn't even think bout that....brewmasters. Mystery solved! Thanks!

[olive tusk]

I've been looking around for a definitive answer but can't find one. If I convert an ability and add a new tag to it, then I equip + to that skill would it factor the converted tag?

[placid plinth]

If you have +1 cold skill levels and your lightning blast has a cold tag (because it is cold converted) when you mouse over the tooltip, then you will have +1 lightning blast skill levels

[olive tusk]

Thanks Mike!

[pure crescent]

Question is profane oblation casted by the death knights or the acolyte? I've noticed minion damage and death knight damage increases doesn't scale profane oblation but when I put on necrotic damage or spell damage it scales it and the skill itself has no minion tag to it. So is it supposed to scale off minion damage and death knight damage but someone missed it on tagging it minion skill?

[strange shoal]

The animation/effect on poison flask when you increase the aoe using passives and items is it not supposed to visibly increase is that working as intended? Even at 120% increase it literally looks the same and is small af specially compariable to most other aoe attacks in the entire game - just curious

[crude plover]

Increased aoe has heavy "diminishing returns" and depends heavily on the base aoe. You gotta remember it's not increased radius or added radius. Usually after you get a bit getting more doesn't make a very noticeable difference

[strange shoal]

Hi, I've tested with maxing out the node in the tree + armor that gives me 30% more - theres NO difference. I understand how it works. You lob a flask and it makes a mark on the ground, that mark is not increasing at all with points or percentage increase. increased AREA OF EFFECT does infact suggest that the area would increase - in visibility and noticablity but it's NOT. Hence me asking. It's still not killing consistently as an example a pack of 7 humanoid sized monsters. My damage is WAAAY above and will maybe 1 in 7 hit all of them if they are somehow packed on top of each other. It's the smallest area of effect skill I've used in the game and on top of that it seems to be bugged. Increasing the same percentage on Cinderstrike you notice a large difference visably and effectively. So increasing area of effect should work the same across the board. Base + increase = larger but it's not. ( Happy for any dev to join me in game to see but i feel they have the ability to check this ) so once again - is this as intended or should i post in the bug forums.

[crude plover]

If it's really not increasing the aoe at all it's a bug. I'll see if I can check tomorrow (it's 4 am)

[strange shoal]

Bro go to sleep you're crazy! lol I literally held my fingers up to my monitor to see haha (to test the size not to gesture you)

[placid plinth]

Minion skills are those which create minions. If a minion is using a skill, it shouldn't have a minion tag to scale off of the minion's normal stats. Your minion stats get sent to the minion as normal stats and then the minion uses those normal stats to cast abilities.

You can think of the minion the same as a player and its gear is the minion stats that you have.

[leaden bear]

oh, derp derp. Thanks

[strange shoal]

how come staff for rogue is counted as 2 handed when they run with it in one hand, swing it melee in one hand, throw things while holding it in one hand? it's very misleading 😛

[cursive sparrow]

Is there a chance that rogue skills such as Detonate arrow, Dancing strikes and lethal mirage will recieve some love in s3, on leaderboard first 2 are less than 1% of rogue players use and last one is like 3%

[placid plinth]

because not many rogues use staves and it saves on animations if we can use partials from other weapons.

[strange shoal]

hahah fair enough

[placid plinth]

I just realized right now that when people ask if something will "receive some love" they are asking if it's going to be buffed. I'm sorry, I have no information on potential upcoming balance changes.

[digital moth]

I noticed that some voice lines in the game are strangely soft. for example, greeting lines from generic NPCs like Roland in the Outcast camp are so soft that i cannot hear what they are saying. at the same volume, i can hear my rogue's voice lines perfectly, and the same goes for Exiled Mages. Nama from the Merchant Guild sounds perfect, but Galila from COF is largely inaudible. Meanwhile, Aberroth sounds like he's mumbling something underwater during the cutscene where he walks down from the altar.

why are the voice line volumes so inconsistent? some are perfect, but a lot of them are too soft relative to other voice lines

[odd torrent]

Good day, I'm from Russia, in the last few years we have been fighting hard against "incorrect" information, blocking large VPNs and technologies like Cloudflare, because of this some sites do not work without a VPN. For about a year now I have been playing Last Epoch only with a VPN, without it, when entering the game, there is error 62, even if I enter with a VPN and then turn it off, the game disconnects again. Today it is especially unpleasant to play with a high ping because of the VPN.
Are there any tips on how to make the game work without a VPN? Maybe write something in the HOSTS or something else?
At least something?

[frail sentinel]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412 - This is our best advice gathered from other players, you can also look into something called Port Forwarding as this has also helped some players!

[odd torrent]

tnx

[eager yew]

isnt it baffling that its easier to craft a legendary with your desired stats vs an exalted with all correct 4 stats you want, I wish we had more forging potential so exalteds can be more useful before we get to legendaries

[odd torrent]

@frail sentinel it helped, the game logs in without a VPN, hurray!!! tnx dude!!

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure it's intentional but it might just be the more important lines are louder. We are introducing a new sound mixing system in Season 3 which will improve the sound volume, priority and blending for the whole game.

[eternal zinc]

Do 1.3 relevant to ancient era on main content so more maps about tropical rainforest will coming?

[placid plinth]

We haven't announced the details of next season yet.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, this is a Spell trigger by a Melee Attack
If I have Increased Area for Melee Attack, does it increase the area for Shatter Totem too ?

[crude plover]

No, the melee skill would pass on the stat "increased area for melee skills" and because the spell isn't a melee skill it won't benefit

[strange shoal]

lads i just reported an imprint bug for plague dragons tongue not dropping in a day++ of imprinting when other items i tested + jewelry was, all other spears were. I reported it as a bug and sent it, literally less than 5 mins later 8 of them dropped at once lol... either you're the quickest working bros ever or mad coincidence - either way not sure how to UN-report a bug

[flint bloom]

You cant unreport it. You just had an unfort case of rng

[strange shoal]

Weirdest case this season - I own my own business so I pretty much play from 7am til 10pm most days taking food and gym breaks and yeah every other imprint based on time/echos completed inc champs/mages etc sometimes ya know an hour or two but never ever had I seen all these "similar" uniques drop consistently as imprints for over a day and a half.. insane during that time I swapped it out and the other item dropped within 30 mins, the amulet I had was and still is dropping and then yeah, lol I dunno felt very bug like vs just unlucky rng. Either way happy as a kitten since one that dropped was an lp3 ;D

[desert sleet]

Heh, RNG sure loves to work in mysterious and unexpected ways sometimes 😛 grats on your drop!

No worries about the bug report; it'll get handled by our triage process. We always appreciate when players take the time to report issues they find even if sometimes it turns out to not be a bug.

[steady panther]

Is vault 45% to random chest multiplicative with itself if i take more or i would need add 30% to all chests to make it multiplicative? Just woundering cuz it says multiplicative with other modifiers👀

[digital moth]

would it be possible to get some numbers on how empowering a nemesis works? as far as i can tell, it has a chance to add LP to the item based on the item's LP level (rarer = harder to get LP) and if it fails, then it adds a random legendary affix (unless the item was already empowered once and received LP, then it does nothing), but i do not know for sure.

[molten glacier]

Hi,
I bought the game few years back at the kickstarter program.
Tho I did not play much cause … life.
Today I’m more available to play tho I don’t own a gaming computer anymore, I do have Ps5.
There is any version to play on console?
There will be ?
Will my bought account will be able to play there ?

[fiery lily]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[fleet galleon]

They're planning to release it on console but don't have a date for that.

[crude plover]

You're correct. It tries to put 1-3 lp. And then if it succeeds the second empower attempts to put more lp on it.

If it fails to put lp on the first empower it'll put legendary affixes, and on the second empower it'll attempt to upgrade or add more affixes to it.

The exact numbers for any of this isn't public and you won't have any luck asking for it here.

[digital moth]

you cannot get 4 LP from empowering?

[fleet galleon]

You can
Just not from the first empower

[crude plover]

You can, but you'd need to get it in 2 steps, the first empower can only give up to 3 lp, and then the second can bring it to 4. It's max 3 per empower so even if the first only gives you 1 lp the second can bring it to 4

[strange shoal]

Hi - if you convert a skill like rive from phys to void - and say on your weapon you have 30 void melee and 30 phys melee, surely that melee converts to void? (since I think it does I'm guessing it doesnt?) I know it says it no long scales with physical but also doesnt converting mean it changes or am I missing something 😄

[crude plover]

No, any damage that already has a type wont convert. Only adaptive damage which is usually found on weapon implicits will convert according to the skills base damage

But note that even if a skill only has the void tag, you can still deal other damage types with it via flat added damage. So the 30 physical melee damage would still work, it would just still be physical

[strange shoal]

I got my first lp1 in nem - sigeon reprisal went to lp3 on first empower then 4 on second @crude plover ah ok so the void stacks up and the melee stays seperate i still dont know what this means to overall hit numbers ya know lol but i had this level 15 axe i slammed with t7 melee phy, t6 melee void, t6 stun cos i had nothing else to put on it so was thinking of a new random build using it shrug thanks! 😄

1 More before bed haha - any idea why we can't on any class use a mace in off hand or dual weild mace when the swords and axes are quite a bit stronger

[humble axle]

Good morning I was a bit curious on the choice of having no havoc or redemption prophecies. If I remember correctly part of that decision was aligned with there is no way for merchant faction to gain them easily. If I’m remembering correctly did this choice factor in lightless arbour and the fact you can “ basically buy” the runes for gold. With the way the system works you can “easily” fund millions of gold if not billions depending on situation and just farm lightless. The fact that merchant guild players can do this is not an issue to me, the issue I have is if CoF players were limited because of the MG players.

[placid plinth]

It wasn't a prevention because we didn't give it to one, it was that we weren't intentionally giving it to either. The decision was for everyone, not one because of the other.

[placid plinth]

We didn't think there was much precedent for dual wielding maces in reality or fantasy games and we want to have some unique weapons that we know won't be dual wielded so we can put effects on them that are dangerous to stack.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike,
Quick check
Seed of Ekkidrasil works with Rage, right ?

[placid plinth]

I'd have to test to be 100% sure but I don't see why not, Rage is literally just recoloured mana, it's not even a separately tracked value.

like you don't have "mana" and "rage". You just have "mana" and when you're in transform mode, your mana is orange and is called rage.

[placid plinth]

afaik should be multiplicative

[pine dome]

Thats what I thought, but its hard to test
Thx

[steady panther]

ye i figured out😄

[vernal orchid]

Hi. Any chances for game to be able to be run in two instances? and EULA to accept it?

Im using Nucleus-COOP APP to play games that have online to run SplitScreen on one monitor/one pc with my GF. We have ONE PC and it already works in path of exile 1 (as it allow 2 instances and works since 2023 with no issues), elden ring, borderlands and so on

it simply run two instances, lock input devices to game instance and resize window.

or any official couch-coop support in future? like in poe2.

[placid plinth]

I have a feeling that this is something that will unintentionally not work. Like we just didn't account for the situation. I think because you can only be logged in to one steam account per pc at a time, this just won't work without some sort of OS virtualization.

We are hoping to go to console at some point and I could see couch coop being something that gets developed for that eventually. It's a pretty big project and we've got our hands full with some other big projects at the moment.

[tame aspen]

anyone verify for serpent strike's "Shattered Immunity" talent (more damage for poison/frostbite stacks), does that only apply to stacks the druid applies or all stacks? My brother was going to play and I wanted to synergize with him and was thinking of making a poison char to help him scale his damage

[pine dome]

All stacks
His, his minions, yours

Your Minion's

[vernal orchid]

There are work-arounds to run 2 instances of the game in handlers for the Nucleus for games on steam that are safe and trustworthy but those workarounds are not always working in fully server-side games. Just eula of a online game need to accept the 2 instances of the game and being able to log to separate accounts if game doesn't allow logging for 2 characters in the same time - which i think last epoch didn't support? but supported before as off-steam launcher is not functional and there's no "relog" in steam, im right? Now we are fully on steam without the not-steam launcher?
Can you guys consider spending 1-2 hours of thinking about if it will be viable for Last Epoch to be able split-screened on one pc with two intances via nucleus somehow? to Just opening the "door" and community from nucleus will do the rest. Maybe just beside full-offline and account wide - making switch to lan? all what i want is just playing with my beloved person, but she is not a gamer and will not spent on a pc- but we loves to play together. And it's simply this games are playable together or not.

and please dont be "this one company" that create couch coop only for console - make it for all platforms if you do. it's myth that console players play more couch-coop games.

[placid plinth]

If we were to do couch coop, I don't think it would be console only as the hard part is the UI and the input splitting. If we had that set up, it would be mostly the same to implement it on PC too.

I really don't think our current setup will work with 2 instances running at the same time because of how integrated it is with steam. I have no idea if there are any eula conflicts at the moment. Would probably have to contact support directly to find out that one. I doubt it though. It's more just that we don't have the support for it.

The stand alone client was removed before we even had a working multiplayer release.

I'm sorry, we are not interested in creating a LAN mode at this time.

I know it's frustrating, we just don't have a great option for this at this time.

the servers are doing very well at the moment. If you are having some issues with lag and would like help, please contact support directly.

Snapshotting is an unfortunate side effect of how the minion system is set up. I wouldn't call it a bug because the code is doing exactly what it is designed to do. It is functionality that we really dislike and fully intend to remove as soon as we can.

That's understandable at some point- creating LAN taking some risks.. we all know them. So thank you for answer. And i wish we will get couch coop sooner and not later. Can you push to team idea of that to think about it? as one of the features that community wants.

[steady panther]

There is no way to see how many specific X items is dropped near you right?

It's very rarely requested and it is a very high resource feature so I'm sorry but I know it won't be in the next couple major patches at least as they already have their major features defined.

correct

[floral patrol]

Hey mike, quick question that I've been forgetting to ask for ages now, is there perhaps plans to set a hotkey for rerolling prophecies in the future? I remember seeing it mentioned somewhere that you have ui rework plans for the factions in general, sorry in advance if that was asked before in particular

[flint bloom]

Any word on roadmap soonish? Depending on where that 3-4 month timeline is for you all...we are like halfway thru that 3 month date

[placid plinth]

not that I've seen but I can for sure see the appeal. Add it to #1210282176680169562 for consideration please.

[placid plinth]

Nothing, sorry.

[vernal orchid]

i can't create a thread in this section. Im lacking a role that i can assign by myself or it's just copied from last epoch site?

[valid marlin]

Like I said, I often imagine "fixes" to what I see as the problems, but then come to realize if the emergent gameplay is avoiding combat to regen, then it's probably a net downside to the gameplay for the vast majority of players

[placid plinth]

At the same time though, I played a Lich build recently that was the extreme version of where you can't stop for any reason really and it kinda sucked.

[valid marlin]

And I'm playing the exact opposite, an extremely high EHP Damage dealt to mana build that really struggles to regen, because it's mana! 60k EHP, but it takes me a long time to get it all back if I lose it. I like it, but if the entire game worked that way, it would almost certainly be a downgrade

[placid plinth]

it's going to be a while now still

[arctic wadi]

If you imprint a woven echo you have not done before can it show up as an echo? And if so do you get the weaver skill point for completing it or do you have to use it via cemetery to attain the point?

[eager saddle]

What are the main defensive paradigms you see in Last Epoch?

I know you've talked about it on stream as having secondary layers to the core resistances but I am curious what the other sort of groups you think of in general?

Like there's ward, dodge, armour, and the recent regen stuff that feel like main throulines for various trees and subclasses.

[candid shadow]

Since i have no work this weekend, ill try to make some more well thought-out ideas, at least as well-thought as kinda new player can make, but i was talking with some people in ask channel few days ago, and i had idea for a goldsink to battle inflation.
To feel good, gold sink should not be a punishment for something, like equipment breaking and then repair cost that other mmos do is bad, because its tedious and annoying. It needs to be something that people are happy to pay for, but what also doesnt put more items on market.

What do you think about a paid token, or function to pay gold straight from echo tree in the same mechanic as paying gold for respeccing passives, but to re-try echo that you died in with full rewards?

I feel this might feel good, because its not something mandatory to do, and is a reward bought with gold that is mostly QOL and time-saver, since you dont need to go around with echo trees, so doesnt have much affect on economy.
Cost would be dependant on corruption level with a scale that makes high-end players that already multiple items worth gold-cap, spend even a lot of gold for that, because they dont know what to do with gold.

If i was someone sitting at gold-cap, id pay even a million or more to re-try failed echoes, or 10 million for woven echoes.
Another gold sink could be paid rerolling echo modifiers to random different one

I think those mechanics are a good thing for naturally balancing the gold inflations, since its not mandatory, but very handy QOL, which means that players will naturally spend gold on that constantly as long as gold value is low, and stop when they feel that its not worth it.
So kinda auto-correcting inflation fail-safe xd

What are your thoughts?

[acoustic oyster]

Slamming legendarys still remains one of my least favorite mechanics because missing a 2 lp slam feels really bad. Even worse than missing a 1 lp slam back in the days (because the +2lp unique beeing much rarer and the good exalt beeing much harder to make). Is there a chance we get 2 guaranteed slams or a significant increase in critical success chance (~100 slams im and still none)?

I can even see a situation where the player has more control. Either choose up to 2 guaranteed slams with 0% crit chance or go full random with an actual 10% crit chance (without the need for the legendary to roll more LP)

[strange shoal]

Ah cool as just checking which maces have the dangerous effects that you wouldnt want stacked since theres only 4 x 1 hander and 1 unique I'm just curious maybe the vengeance one due to +skills? But its not an uber killing skill anyways so very curious, thanks 🙂 ps can dual them in poe2 but the 1 handers are just trash and much like all games don't have any love for maces, hah 😛

[desert sleet]

Yes and yes. An imprinted, but uncompleted Woven Echo can spawn. An imprint spawned Woven Echo would count for the first time completion.

[arctic wadi]

Thank you! Are there any woven echos that do NOT work imprinted? I realize some or more rare than others. Can every single one have a chance to appear if imprinted?

[desert sleet]

I'm pretty sure any can spawn, but they all have different weightings for how likely they are to spawn. Generally speaking, the lower tier ones (left group) are decently common and anything in the high tier (right group) are very unlikely. I tend to stick to the 2 lower tiers so that I find them frequently.

[placid plinth]

Short answer is yes because there is always a chance. However I don't want to get your hopes up here. If you'd like us to consider it, add it to #1210282176680169562 please.

[candid shadow]

Also if i later think of some more concrete stuff and ideas already containing numbers, would it be possible to make a separate thread for it for discussion?
Unless someone already had that gold-sink idea and it was already discussed

[placid plinth]

I would say the main ones are health, ward, resistances, endurance, armor, dodge and block. They each have many mechanics that the scale with/from and you are often picking a couple of them but very rarely all of them.

[placid plinth]

My initial reaction is it's a good goal and I'm not a huge fan of the solution. It would require some sort of CoF reward (like a retry token) at the same time or else it incentivizes having MG characters as a CoF player which negates the entire reason to have item factions. Large amounts of gold is a byproduct of MG, not the reward.

[placid plinth]

If you've got ideas that you'd like us to consider, you can put them in #1210282176680169562 or on the website forums if you want to post something longer form. If you want to have community discussions about it, I'm not sure it's a big enough topic for its own channel.

[candid shadow]

will give that more thought then in the morning 😄
Its mostly the thoughts after a discussion i had with some more experienced players on general i think few days ago, where current state of affairs where after month into league even not super high end items start to go for gold-cap, is the lack of bigger gold sink.
And the biggest problem with creating one is that it should not be annoying xd
And the other one, is that it should naturally correct market, so the players will spend gold on it when they feel gold is worth too little.

As you said, COF is not a problem for inflation, because they cannot sell items, so cof players paying for that would not change anything, but on the other hand, would probably not hurt them either, since thay dont have much things to spend gold on anyway xD

But to make some actual proposition, i`ll have a talk with some veteran players that were here since start of launch and ask did prices and inflation change in weeks after launch, then i will come back with more math xD

[placid plinth]

sorry, I edited my post on you. You can't add echo re-rolling to monoliths for gold without giving CoF a "re-roll token" that they just passively get over time for being CoF.

[candid shadow]

All good, more research with opinions from veterans comming soon 😄 (wrote a few finishing things in DM if its okay) 😄

[placid plinth]

sorry, dms are closed

if you'd like us to consider your ideas, use #1210282176680169562

[candid shadow]

Ah, then in short mostly statement about how i will try to get some peer review and come back with more polished idea, DMed mostly to not overspam this channel.
I`m on economy math high now xd

[strange shoal]

@placid plinth not being a lil trouble maker legit curious about your dangeous stat stacking 1 handed mace comment - can you elaborate on which mace or maces have stats better than the 1 handed swords, daggers or axes currently in game (scissors for example with its crazy T7s + melee speed + melee attacks dominates ANY mace there is)

[placid plinth]

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that there are any at the moment. But it's nice to have 1H weapons that can't be dual wielded for this purpose. This was also a very distant secondary reasoning.

(also please read #rules 10)

[strange shoal]

Ok all good - i'll compromise and put a suggest forum up asking if possible for you to allow maces on sentinel to be able to be weilded in offhand with an axe/sword in main I'm currently building something ultra fun but am stuck with sword in offhand and would love an axe/mace combo. Thanks as always ❤️

[placid plinth]

you'd be more likely to get axe in off hand

[strange shoal]

thats completely fine bro haha I would just love the axe/mace combo cos it looks alpha its def not going to over power or change the game thats what erasing strike and time rot are for lmao 😛

[low lotus]

I dont understand, at craft showed me can be used 1-12FP, when i used it eat 16 why????

[flint bloom]

If you found a bug, please use the f8 button ingame to report the bug.

Reporting a bug in the channeled named no bugs, does nothing.

[floral patrol]

Keep in mind, not all crafts are created equal. Crafting takes more FP as you go up the ranks. So if you checked the FP it'd cost initially, that's not always gonna be a static range going up the affix ranks

[sturdy ridge]

Will there be juicy spoilers for us tomorrow in the dev stream?

[placid plinth]

I don't know, I usually ask morning of.

[sturdy ridge]

ahh ok

[cursive sparrow]

why can abberoth beam stun while it is not a hit according to tunklabs?

[harsh sky]

What do you think about the current state of Armor vs Health? From rough calculations, I seem to be getting the same amount of Physical Hit EHP from slamming Armor vs Health, but the former is a lot less effective against other elements, and does nothing against DoT by itself. And since leech being so strong means we can basically heal any amount of health loss almost instantly, there seems to be few incentive in investing in Armor.

[valid marlin]

To be clear, are you speaking specifically of %armor affixes? Or armor as a defensive layer in general?

[harsh sky]

More about %armor affix I suppose, as that's where you can really choose between the two.

[nova niche]

Would you consider separating the in-game leaderboards between SCF and SAF players?
Being the true roguelike experience, SCF is infinitely more difficult, as all your progress is wiped upon death

[frosty compass]

Just make your own spoilers without asking the team

[crude plover]

If you're getting the same amount of ehp from both then you should go health. But that won't always be the case, it all depends on how much of each you already have. Depending on class and build armour affixes can be very worthwhile and give more ehp than an equivalent hp affix.

This isn't to say that the numbers are perfectly balanced, but they're not so unbalanced that hp is always the correct choice, so it's kinda anecdotal.

If you do think that one is too strong or too weak feel free to post it in the #1210281911872786482 .

i know there are already a ton of ripped assets out there, but i would like to ask, is it ok to "unpack" the unity files and use extracted assets publicy (github)?

[frail sentinel]

This would technically violate the Terms of Use, Restrictions and Limitations 4.iii. As such, by default the answer would be no.

However, if you are working on a community tool or resource, we do like to work closely with community projects. If are looking for visual assets to use, please submit a support ticket directly to our Support Team with information about the project and what you need, and one of our team members that handles partnerships will review the request.

[glossy meadow]

thats sad, im working on an offline save file editor, but more of the fun part is to dissect the game 😄 well its possible to do that without the usage of the unity files, and i dont think its worth to bother the support with that, but thx for the quick answer

[frail sentinel]

That is worth reaching out to Support for 😊 Once they have your ticket it will be passed on internally and discussed and (insert process I'm not totally familiar with) before a decision is made!

Morning guys - the zoom (fov) on the game is fixed I know , but is there any ethical way we're allowed to zoom out slightly more like a custom way? I just love further zoom not for any particular reason that asthetics but in 800 hours never thought to ask anyone til this morning

[placid plinth]

There is no way to zoom out more, sorry.

[cursive sparrow]

yes you can if you use ultra wide monitor, currently that gives a really unfair advantage to players that do have that in both arena and uber fight

I have a 34 inch ultra wide and it doesnt help me mate I'm still shit and require uber carries even with meta builds lmao! It's not about wanting to see more on the screen it just looks cooler (personal opinion)

[gentle maple]

set to window and drag to right u got ultra wide view

[glossy meadow]

is it intended, that the wraith tree "lone watcher" (no health drain but recives more damage) and "pernicous pact" (no health drain but recives poison) work so, that the minion gets more damage AND the poison?

[crude plover]

Yes? Why wouldn't it

[glossy meadow]

it doesnt sound right, you invest two points, you get all negatives, without any benefits (for 2 points) -> no longer health decay, 1 shade max, recives more dmg AND poison
my guess was lone watcher -> no health decay, more dmg, 1 shade + pact = no poisoning

i mean its cool for the dummy since with 999 stacks it triggers the flesh harvest.... for everything else its just .. meh?

is it likely we ever get a tab duplication option for our stash rather than always starting tabs with 0 settings?

[placid plinth]

yes, we are working on some short term and long term improvements to the stash which include better ways to recreate your tab layouts faster

[rough loom]

Sounds great! Going through the motion of setting up turtle tabs is really tedious right now.

[steel nexus]

is there a particujlar reason why we still cant filter idols more precisely? like i wanna see as many good idols as possible because im interested in many builds but my screen gets cluttered with all the different combinations

would be so helpful if we could filter out bad rolls, just adding the tier system that other items have would be insaneley helpful

[floral patrol]

I think mike said on stream something along the lines of, they don't wanna add a rule for ranges because people might accidentally lock themselves out of upgrades, but this is heavily paraphrased

that said, if you mean both affixes being the ones you want, you can do that by checking "with at least 2 affixes" in the little box where you pick affixes

[frosty ivy]

when deciding loot tables do you consider the balance between full clear builds vs objective rush builds? currently with the way that amber is farm it feels like if ur not running a big aoe clear skill ur being punished really heavily by being pushed towards clearing large amounts of the maps to farm amber with the various methods

[placid plinth]

yup

[placid plinth]

we just don't have roll ranges available for any items. Items with affixes which have multiple tiers get around this to some degree.

[steel nexus]

but why dont you just add the tier system to idols? like split the stats we get from them by 5 and thats it

edit:_ basicly like the entchanted affixes you guys added just this season, this would be a godsend :X

Hi team - if you're gaining storm stacks via weapon source and you're using a melee attack that ISNT gathering storm i understand speccing into stacks is beneficial but would the thunderous strikes tree with lightning pen for GS attacks apply to the attack gaining storm stacks as storm stacks is part of GS? (sorry if thats confusing hope it makes sense)

[humble axle]

Good evening i have a question about storm bolt. Currently I'm try to make a build that converts storm bolt into cold in gathering storm tree, and then summon bolts from maelstrom. the said maelstrom is being cast upon my totem, and i just want to make sure that the storm bolts stats are based off of my player relevant stats for cold storm bolt.

Additionally, in the gathering storm tree there is a node called "tempest weapon" which states gathering storm gets spell damage based off of relevant melee damage flat. there is also a note that the storm totem only gets 50% of this effect if you take storm totems node "unmatched storm". as this node in storm totem converts its attack to storm bolt does that mean that this node (tempest weapon) in gathering storms tree boost the storm bolts damage.

[crude plover]

Unsure what you mean by the first part, any relevant stats should work as per usual, converting a skill doesn't really change anything.

And for the second part yes, the storm bolts from storm totem benefit from both trees.

[humble axle]

1st part i just wanted to make sure as the maelstrom is attaching to the totem nothing "wonkey" was happening. And for 2nd part i ask because some node specifically state gathering storm and/or storm bolt in gathering storms tree and others will just mention gathering storm. The node "tempest weapon" is one of the ones that only mention gathering storms directly.

[crude plover]

Storm bolts always scale off of your gathering storm tree and not the skills that trigger them (with the exception of unmatched storm in storm totem) afaik. So basically just pretend every storm bolt that gets cast is cast from gathering storm even if it was triggered from a different skill.

It's similar to fire aura and flame ward (although fire aura doesn't benefit from all nodes in the flame ward tree, only a select few)

[strange shoal]

Second question - Umjol's Guidance in Swipe will NOT let me put 5/5 into it, only 4/5 - it flashes red and refuses, I've tried adding points around it and they work, points anywhere in the tree work. I've tried to relog and restart steam. I've reported it as a bug but curious if there's something I'm missing, pressing alt doesn't bring up any pre-req's for it to have 5/5. It's very frustrating as my entire build is built round 100% lightning conversion, lol.

[crude plover]

Unsure why that'd be, I have no problems allocating all 5 points

[strange shoal]

What the!! why meeee haha Ive got a screen shot but not sure how to put it into this message? When I click on it it's saying "-1 skill point removed from swipe" this is so fricking bizzareeee

[crude plover]

are you unequipping an item after putting it in or something?

you can dm me the screenshot

[strange shoal]

Have sent you it, thanks 🙂

[crude plover]

we figured it out, thorn slinger was giving swipe +1 but at 5 points it loses the phys tag, losing the +1 which unallocated the fifth point, giving the phys tag and thus the +1 back making it look like the game was automatically unspeccing the point (it kinda was but it's not a bug).

funny coincidence that the point it unallocates is the same one causing it to lose the tag ^^

[dawn rune]

Hi, I was told to drop my question about lizard lore here in the last live stream. I was wondering if I could get a general lore lesson for the back story for lizards. Where do they come from? Who created them? What is the lore around why they exist. If body parts are found, have they been used in any recepices for crafting or used in anyways in the history. Thanks in advance.

[strange shoal]

Reposting this - Hi team - if you're gaining storm stacks via weapon source and you're using a melee attack that ISNT gathering storm i understand speccing into stacks is beneficial but would the thunderous strikes tree with lightning pen for GS attacks apply to the attack gaining storm stacks as storm stacks is part of GS? (sorry if thats confusing hope it makes sense) I feel the answer will be no but just checking as it'll change a few points in tree x

[crude plover]

What source other than gathering storm can give you gathering storm stacks? (The helmet affix is still gathering storm)

[strange shoal]

im using storm breaker ze 2 handed mace (related skill storm bolts)

[crude plover]

Gotcha, yeah should work afaik, might wanna wait for Mike to be 100% sure though. But as far as I understand it you might as well have gotten the stack by using gathering storm.

Mace snuck past me since it says storm stack instead of gathering storm :P

[strange shoal]

Haha no worries - this is probably my first actual all by myself not seen it anywhere build trying to figure out synergies without using a build guide to hold my hand so many questions! if it doesnt help then no massive hit as I want the node past it but if it does help then great cos the pene will stack with the 30 odd slammed onto the mace and idols fingers crossed

[crude plover]

Things like this are pretty trivial to test. Just go to the training dummies and hit them with a storm bolt from the maces storm stack, unallocate the point. Do the same thing and see if the number went down. The dummies no longer have damage variance so it should be the exact same number if the pen doesn't apply.

[strange shoal]

literally got to heo not long ago so have to leg it to the arean, considering ive teleported 100s of people around this game when I ask for an uber I never get a lift lol

[strange shoal]

If you have 126% phys pen with bleed as an affix and then use gloves that convert all bleed sources to ignite does that stat change to 126% ignite pen? (same with passive in pally tree redemption phys pen for bleed) with gloves Maehlin's Hubris - asking as it says bleed chance, if it doesnt convert the pen then pointless lol

[foggy hull]

Those gloves only convert the Bleed Chance

[steel nexus]

Would it be possible to add an "OR" for loot filter rules?

for example: i want to see idols with fire penetration and fire damage, i also want to see idols with cold pen and cold damage, if i add a condition for both and then put an OR between them it shows both

[crude plover]

Tevonsonte is correct, conversions happen first and don't benefit from any stats that would apply pre conversion. Also the gloves don't convert the penetration, they would say so otherwise.

[crude plover]

That's the same as making two rules. This would simply let you make more rules than the limit which is there for performance reasons.

[humble axle]

Good morning, i had a question about a specific sentinel idol prefix. Currently on a grand solar idol you can get flat lightning damage added to hammer throw. This affix made me wonder was there ever a time when hammer throw had a lightning version. Then there was a change and that affix got forgotten about. Or was there a plan to incorporate some form of lightning throwing hammers that never happened.

The reason i bring this up is skill specific affix's on idols are "rare" and usually they fit inline with some type of build or playstyle. Where as this prefix and the way damage conversions work and the way the skill tree works just seems out of place. I'm sure you could find a way to make it work by doing some form of lightning hammer paladin, but to me it would be a reach at best. So to clarify as i got off track a bit, i guess basically was there ever a plan to make lightning hammers a thing.

Additionally, i just want to give a big high five to the imprint system. As it has provide me with an indirect (semi-controled) "chase system". im a daily LE player and depending how you look at it you could say i play "too much". That being said to keep my enjoyment while playing i need a "chase target" and imprints have provided that. So hats off to whoever came up with it, overall amazing feature that both helps casual and daily players.

[static vale]

Mike, if you are able to put a weapon in the offhand slot, does that mean that you'd always be able to dw 2 of it or do the dw passives work in a sneaky way by actually enabling specific combinations? If it were the latter then you could allow maces in the offhand but not at the same time as maces in the main hand so you could use a sword/mace axe/mace. I'm assuming it doesn't work like this & that it just enables specific weapon types to be put in the offhand.

[humble axle]

Hello quick question about prophecies, i know its been asked before but i forget the answer and just need an official confirm from a dev as global chat is making me question my knowledge. For unique items dropped from prophecies the amount of LP they roll does not care about corruption amount. If correct that means when a unique drops from a prophecy it has the same chance of being 4lp in 100 corruption as it would if in 7,000 corruption correct?.

[valid marlin]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
They inherit the bonus chance for LP with corruption.

[placid plinth]

Unfortunately it is not doing something sneaky behind the scenes. It's just enabling what can go in the offhand slot or not.

[placid plinth]

It's more that we are slowly adding more lightning damage to paladin in general. It's just an early indicator of that.

[knotty orchid]

Does the block chance work at 200%, or is it capped at 100%?so if I had 3000 block effectiveness, i would get 6000 block effectiveness on my next block, with double block?

[placid plinth]

No, there is no "super block". You either block the attack or not.

[knotty orchid]

Could you add it to the block description by chance? I thought a super block was a thing so i super invested into it, now I'm slightly disepointed.

[placid plinth]

Can I ask what made you think a super block could be a thing? I've never heard of that in a game before.

[pine dome]

Btw there is no super crit either

[knotty orchid]

I'm just being creative, I see a number that can be increased beyond 100%, I want to try it.

[placid plinth]

Vlad has hit why I am hesitant to mention it in game. If you say this doesn't work, it kinda implies that other chance based effects do work. I think ailment chance working that way makes intuitive sense because it applies in stacks instead of discrete events.

Regardless, if you'd like us to consider adding something, please put it in #1210282176680169562 .

[knotty orchid]

Do you prefer the double block/double crit suggestion or added tooltip suggestion, then?
I'm guessing you want me to make a suggestion around tooltip.
there does exist 100% more attack speed, with no cap

[placid plinth]

I'd like you to make whichever suggestion you want to see.

attack speed isn't a binary event. You don't attack fast or slow, you attack along a spectrum of speeds. Same as movement speed, you don't move fast or slow, you have a wide range of speeds. Also cooldown recovery speed.

over 100% dodge doesn't super dodge

[knotty orchid]

would 100% dodge even be possible though? pretty that has a cap at 85%

[fossil dune]

There are effects that give you 100% dodge for X amount of hits so yes technically

[placid plinth]

Which is actually causing other problems now. Might need to change that into a "dodge charge" type effect instead of just giving +100%

[radiant tangle]

Guys, Xbox just announced ROG Xbox Ally, I hope the game will port to Xbox portable. You should see the trailer Mike.

[hallow chasm]

Was sitting around thinking about crafting and wondered if this idea had come up before:

Glyph of Despair (changed): Reduce affix by one tier, chance to seal tier 1 affix remains. Removing a tier costs 1.5x FP.

And possibly critical removal of a tier similar to critical success. Really lean into the 'despair' vibe 🥲

[crude plover]

This would make it too strong. Being able to reduce an affixes tier might not sound super useful but for high end crafting it would be invaluable as the only way we have to reduce tiers currently is by hitting a completely random removal to completely remove the affix, even at 1.5x cost it'd reduce the risk of using despairs substantially.

Regardless, if you'd like to see something in the game please post it in the #1210282176680169562

[hallow chasm]

Oh, good shout! Will do, moving forward. And thanks for the feedback - I definitely can see even how with an inflated cost deterministic removal being too powerful.

[placid plinth]

Loving these new handheld devices. That one looks pretty cool.

[timid fjord]

Do you happen to know the reason for why werebears roar has spell tag while warcry doesn't?

[floral patrol]

Mike, about the portals thing you mentioned on stream (blue vs green upon completion). A good workaround would be to color the portal icon on the minimap green (since currently it's blue regardless of completion AND mtx)

[median holly]

Why can't I use the melee basic attack in spriggan form? I just want to proc aftershock idols!

[strong wren]

Bump.

I would also like lizard lore.

It sounds like there's some out-of-time merchants (and likely other factions) that aren't part of the story yet. Can we expect to see more on them as the story progresses ... if it progresses? (eg, if the company doesn't settle into just selling cosmetics and working on more boring endgame stuff rather than continuing the story)

[pine chasm]

Probably just a bug/inconsistency. Warcry does get the spell tag when you spec the node that makes it deal hit damage, roar should only have the tag under that same condition.

[radiant tangle]

I don't know the architecture of xbox or the xbox app os but it is possible to port it to xbox? Since it won't use any windows os?

[flint bloom]

might not be a direct port...but the xbox ally can use steam...and thats where LE is so I don't see why you couldnt play it. they were pretty forward in it using windows (11 afaik).

[radiant tangle]

Gotcha, does the Publisher and the dev will release LE on Game Pass, or it just "We have it on Steam, no need to do that"? I know they will prioritize Xbox app as their GUI shell look. Also a little off topic: My friends expecting people will "jailbreak" it to launch on SteamOS, and hope it won't be like what Nintendo did on Switch 2, which is a paperweight bricked consoles.

BTW: I'm happy that Mike's happy about the ROG Xbox Ally news. meaning there will be more outdoor gaming sessions.

[flint bloom]

i have no idea besides what was on the shows this weekend, and a little google searching.

[ionic crater]

What causes the in-game clock to unsync and fall behind?

I was 15 minutes late yesterday to something, because I trusted the infame clock

[fossil dune]

Same as it has been in every game before that was popularized; people like refreshed leaderboards and economy.

[humble axle]

hello i had a question about damage conversion with "chance to inflict (x)". is dmg conversion the same as dmg taken conversion and you can only convert once. an example is being a warlock and using the uni gloves "maehlin's hubris" and combining with chaos bolts and the skill tree node "call of morditas". with this given case if i add bleed chance to say a chest , will that bleed chance then be converted to ignite from gloves then converted to frostbite from skill tree node.

Additionally does this convert all bleed chance types as in; generic bleed chance/bleed on hit/ bleed on physical skill hit. or is it a case of only general bleed chance.

[desert sleet]

AFAIK the in game clock is using the system time, so I'd expect it to match the time displayed by the operating system.

[ionic crater]

It does; but I think there's something that makes it desync - yesterday specifically, I at first just thought my internal timeclock was off mark, because I did 3 bosses in 3 minutes - But figured time just went slower than I thought

Then I tapped out, and saw my ingame clock was 9 minutes behind - I'll try and see if I can re-create it, somehow.

Also yes, the in-game clock was correct when I started

[knotty quartz]

Do experience shrines help with item and end game factions as well?

[desert sleet]

Yes for item factions as MG/CoF favor is earned by earning XP (and earning/spending favor earns rep).

No for the current endgame factions as the Forgotten Knights has quest-based progress and the Woven progresses by looting/spending Memory Amber, which is dropped by possessed mobs.

[knotty quartz]

Cool, thank you

[ionic crater]

Alright I've found the bug and how to reciprocate it.

The clock is shown when Minimap is shown
The clock is hidden when overlay map is shown

When the overlay map is shown, the clock is also not updating.

When the overlay map is disabled (to see minimap+clock) it takes a few seconds, then the clock refreshes - However, if you enable Overlay Map before the clock refresh, then it's never refreshed.

I'd imagine it's coded like this:

Clock is programmed to re-initialize everytime it's shown, rather than always being active.

In the initialization, it's coded to check the system time

However, it's coded to be deactivated when it's not visible, rather than "always" on?

This means, if you play with Overlay map all the time - And you briefly show minimap to look at the time, and you tab again into overlay map before it initalizes the system-time check, it'll never update

[desert sleet]

Ahhh yes, I see now. It has a 5sec update delay so if it's only shown for <5sec it won't get a chance to update. I'd prefer we just make it always display instead of only with the overlay closed. I'd like to have parity of displayed info between minimap and overlay map (area level, time, etc).

[ionic crater]

Yeah for sure; having the clock always shown would be amazing; would eliminate the tabbing completely for the time

But now that you know the clock isn't functional except when shown, might help with some other bug further down the line if you just make it forced to remain active

[valid marlin]

Does Weavers will on relics, for example, use normal weightings when determining what affix to add? Or does it prioritize rarer affixes more, similar to rune of discovery? I thought I remembered this being stated, but can't find it, so now imagine I made it up

[crisp jungle]

Is there a rework planned for affix tiers behind the scenes? I just had a T4 9 vitality roll upgrade to 11 with a glyph of order instead of 12 (top to top). The only way this is possible is if it was a 50-66% roll resulting in 9 (8-9), and 11 (10-12). I know it shows the result at the bottom, but I hit it thinking I had a top roll. This hidden percentile roll is deceptive.

[placid plinth]

no, but if you'd like us to consider one, add it to #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

normal but it does prioritize upgrading

[pine chasm]

It varies by slot. Boots get no weight change, but the others are weighted so that rare affixes are less rare, to varying degree. This is where I remember it being mentioned: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[valid marlin]

So this wasn't a dream I had! Thanks, Father Toast. Bummer I don't know how much more likely...

[placid plinth]

[valid marlin]

Yeah, sorry to ask. I already knew the answer.

[crude plover]

Pretty sure someone did confirm they were correct, you guys just never released them yourselves no? Maybe I'm making up memories (I'm trying really hard to find it but can't :P).

[strange shoal]

Gonna report it now but since this morning when I woke up and got the patch my chars on char screen are naked and random echoes are just crashing to desktop no error - Im over 820 hours in, never had that before, ever. sigh

[crude plover]

There's a bug currently messing with characters and stuff. If it's an online character it should be fine once it's fixed.

[placid plinth]

Yea, that previously linked post was just confirming that the hidden LPL stat is accurate.

[crude plover]

Yeah I realized that you weren't saying the actual lp calculations on the site were correct which is why I deleted it, I can do better :P

[strange shoal]

Aight thanks - the nekkid char wasnt a problem, the crash to desktop on random echoes is though. No error message either so unsure what to do about it. This game is ultra stable and I've never really had a crash in the past, the occassional lag/timeout but never an actual crash - are there any post patch engine update suggestions?

[placid plinth]

No, only think to do is make an in game bug report

[strange shoal]

Ok done - are in games preferrable to forum posts?

[crude plover]

Alright I can decently confidently say Mike has never confirmed lp numbers, you've only ever confirmed lpl numbers from what I can find which is kinda infuriating lmao. Well played sir

(I know for a fact that they are correct I'm just trying to find it because my brain told me it happened)

[placid plinth]

Yes, in game bug report is the only place any bug needs to be reported. It goes directly to our triage board.

[placid plinth]

Wouldn't it be hilarious if we hid something in the code which sneakily changed the odds in a way that was so obscure that it wasn't found when people did the mining?

[crude plover]

Well it's also been checked in ways that wouldn't be hide-able ;p

[placid plinth]

I want so bad to push this but I'm not that cruel

[crude plover]

Well it would be hide-able if offline and online odds aren't the same but I doubt that

Who knows though, maybe you really are that diabolical

[placid plinth]

If this was a personal project, I would be that evil.

[final cave]

Are you confirming that you use code obfuscation techniques to change the formula calculation subtly with every patch and thus force reverse engineers to confirm every time?! 😉

[crude plover]

Notlikethis

[placid plinth]

No, I'm implying that to put a seed of doubt in your mind because I'm a horrible person.

We don't do that. I'm just joking around.

[crude plover]

Would be hilarious if you just added or subtracted 0.1% from one of the rolls every now and then

So technically everything is wrong but nothing really changes gameplay wise

Yeah I think my 1am brain was playing tricks, if it does exist I can't find it, even on other platforms

ty

[floral patrol]

can we crank that obscure code up to 11? There's a few 4LPs a... er, friend could use.

[crude plover]

It'll convert twice, the item will convert all your bleed chance to ignite chance. Hence your character will have 0% bleed chance and whatever bleed chance they would have gets added to your ignite chance.

When you cast the skill it'll just look at your ignite chance and convert that to frostbite, it doesn't know where that ignite chance came from. The skill conversion will convert anything that would apply to that skill. The gloves will only convert generic chance afaik.

If they don't hit the initial target, what is the minimum 2 extra spears created for? Just some flavor thing i guess?

[pine dome]

Clearing purpose ?

[harsh sky]

I mean the min 2 is created even if there's no enemies nearby, so there's nothing else to kill anyway. Or is the search range much smaller than the hit range?

le 52 after patch, pls get back to 1252 patch

[timber mica]

Hey, I'm new here and new to LE. Has probably asked a million times already, but please release all DLC / MTX on offline as well (like in grim dawn). I was just about to buy them and saw that online is required. I usually play on my laptop while on travels, and offline access is crucial. Thanks team, the game has been a blast so far 🏆

Also, has there been words on character customization / both genders for characters? Fashion LE is huge for me, would make it more enjoyable, but I get its a large feature to implement.

[long merlin]

Hi @timber mica
offline MTX soon, gender swap not on the list, as far as i know...
(could have been searched on top right of the screen beforehand) ✌️

[pine dome]

Offline Mtx soon is a not what was said
They want to do it, but haven't found a way yet, there is no eta

[timber mica]

Ahh ok, thanks for the reply. Hope they find a way, then I will buy a couple!

[harsh sky]

Voidwinter bolts (from Bane of Winter spear) says that it shoots 3 projectiles. Can these 3 hit the same target?

[valid oyster]

I'll be honest: it is probably better if cosmetic MTX's for offline didn't happen.

& for obvious reasons. 🏴‍☠️
Just my two cents.

[valid marlin]

Hey cyborg, where did you get this info? I can't find it anywhere else, although its been told to me by a few people

[crude plover]

I have my ways, I'm pretty sure those are the numbers unless I'm misremembering. Double checking is kind of a hassle but I can try.

I'm even more sure those are the numbers now, didn't double check in a 100% reliable way though because I'm lazy.

Would make it easy if Mike could confirm but he probably can't

[merry shore]

Greetings, I have questions about the party gameplay. Will there be guilds later, and something like shared chest. Will it be possible to change Gold resonances to Obsidian ones?

[humble axle]

Good morning, i had a question about damage reflected which can be found thought the affix labeled "reflective" within the skill shards. Of which adds the player stats of (x)% - (x)% damage reflected. When you add this affix to your gear, which reflect amount is it increasing. Does it apply to all damage that the player reflects or it applied to just specific player reflect stats (mention player as i believe this does not help minions). A few examples of different reflect types are; flat damage reflected to attackers from the affix "thorny", percent damage taken reflected via ring of shields node "shield spike" (i think that's minion but mention is as example of % taken as i cant think of another).

Additionally would this stat also increase the amount of reflect damage you take from negative gear stats. Of which can be found on the unique gloves "Grasp of the Blood Mage" where the unique mod reads "250% of Mana Spent Reflected to you as Damage".

Also as i don't want to spam this channel with a thank you every time there's an answer replied. Thanks for the help/reply for this and all future ones, and thank you cyborgwars yesterday for the answer.

[flint bloom]

Maybe guilds, 99% no on shared chest (cuz it makes bazaar basically useless and rmt things), if you have a suggestion or feedback about resonances... #1210282176680169562 . Ik the devs think the resonance rates still need some adjusting

[placid plinth]

it should affect all reflect damage that is percent or flat that is in the generic format of damage in -> damage out

the mana damage reflected to you shouldn't be affected.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry but we generally don't confirm chances like that. Ever since the chaos that showing players exact percentages with the crafting system caused before the big change, we don't really ever share specific chances for things like this. I think there a re a few people building tools right now that want this info because I've been telling people no about specific drop chances a lot lately.

[placid plinth]

No. (I checked the abilityObject in editor)
In general things like this don't shotgun unless they specifically say they do.

[placid plinth]

We are very interested in adding character customization, including gender selection or body type selection to the game. We don't know how in depth that eventual system could be yet because it's still quite a ways off but it is on the list.

[placid plinth]

guild currency and bufs currenсy?

[coral moss]

With the talk of removing minion snapshotting. Will a potential target also be skill snapshotting aswell as some builds and skills currently benefit alot/mostly function just from storing the boosted value on a skill.
To then fully benefiting from the buff always by proccing the skill from somewhere else.

[placid plinth]

That's something we are able to fix and is just a bug. If there is a limited use skill buff effect that works when you trigger but isn't reset on triggered use then that's a bug.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, we don't have any specifics of guild functionality working. We do want to add guilds and when we eventually do, it will likely start out essentially as a chat room.

[mossy adder]

The one that comes to mind for me immediately is Shadow Cascade's "Careful Assault" used via Shift with the 5th shadow, but imo that build isn't anywhere close to deserving a nerf

[mossy adder]

Does the void damage from Shield Rush's "Temporal Rush" node, which is reduced by increased attack speed, also get increased by reductions in attack speed?

Additionally, does the echo final strike count as an echo in the traditional sense? Will it be increased by increased echo damage or activate the "Increased damage when a skill echoes" adorned idol affix?

[vernal orchid]

Are you guys considering of adding lately popular "high quality texture pack" for high end pc's to enchance graphic? like game on 4k doesn't look good. Clearly textures are upscaled from like 1080p

[pine chasm]

I can't answer the first question, but the "final impact echo" is not an echo in any sense.

[halcyon haven]

If you blind uber aberroth, is everything in the arena unable to crit you? or does it just affect his melee swings?

[maiden brook]

Hi mike, hard one here, does the "damage to health below your endurance threshold is reduced by 30%" on immortal vise stack additively with other sources of explicitly reduced damage such as reduced damage taken on block

[crude plover]

Unless two stats are identical they pretty much never add together. You'd need another source of specifically:

"While you have more than 10% of your maximum health as delayed damage, damage to health below your endurance threshold is reduced by x%".

Although since the stat on the gloves is a unique property and not an affix or something; the stat it gives under the hood is probably called something different, which is what you'd need a different source of for them to add up.

An example would be having less damage taken while on low life and less damage taken while moving. They won't add up and will just be independent multipliers for your damage taken.

[wicked dirge]

silence is my second name, don't worry)))

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure that the spheres that travel across the map aren't actually cast by aberroth so they should be unaffected. Does blind have full effect against bosses though?

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of but if you'd like to see one, please use #1210282176680169562 for consideration.

Several skills with conversion has a line that says xx type of DoT from all sources are converted to yy DoT and "effects related to xx DoT now depends on yy DoT instead". Does this effect relating to the new DoT apply to all effects from all sources, as long as the DoT is applied from that skill?

For example, Javelin has a node that says "Ignite and bleed chance from all sources is converted to Electrify for Javelin and effects related to bleed or ignite now depend on Electrify instead." Would Electrify applied from Javelin then benefit from the "added Critical Strike Multiplier Converted to Physical Penetration with Bleed" effect of the Salt the Wound gloves, or "Fire Penetration with Ignite" from Burning Avarice gloves?

[pine dome]

No, that line is here for effect like " Javelin deals more Dmg to Bleeding enemies" (don't think that node exist but it's for the exemple)
After the conversion Javelin would dealore dmg to Electrified enemies

[harsh sky]

Saw that coming, but alas the truth still hits like an Uberroth truck. Thanks!

[pine dome]

Gotta dodge that triple slam

À real exemple is this one

After the conversion you get more dmg per Frostbite, which funnily enough allows you to reach the max when shock doesn't

Good afternoon, i was trying to remember the dev stance on blessings. If new timeline blessings were added it would be to current timelines vs adding a new timeline correct?. I want to say i remember this being said before but I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me and wasn't even said.

[placid plinth]

No guarantees either way really. We are very happy with being at 10 timelines and 10 blessings. So if we were to add more blessings, it would probably be by adding new options in current slots.

[humble axle]

Thank you, I just want to be clear I wasn't trying to be coy and fish for a spoiler, it was just a though bugging me.

[halcyon haven]

Could you answer that for me? if blind has full effect vs bosses? doesn't say anything about it in the in-game guide or online anywhere, seems to be the same for all monsters. (need to know cause planing out a character for HC uberroth)

[trim sparrow]

I hope this game does not have "Politics" (idk if that's the correct term) but like forcing ideologies we (me and my other friends) already get banned by communities for not knowing those western terms/things and get called names for no reason cuz we are from a conservative backgrounds and from east. No hate to anyone but it ain't fun for something that I have to adopt that I ain't comfortable with if you know what I'm saying. (Don't ban me please.)

[crude plover]

There's nothing like that as far as I know. I'm not super knowledgeable about the story but it usually just boils down to trying to save the world from a pretty objectively bad god by killing monsters and using time travel powers

It might be but this does appear to be a localized issue so maybe there is something wrong with that specific server box that you're connected to. I'm sorry but I just don't have any information on the status of bugs here as the channel is called "not-support-no-bugs".

I'm just not seeing any spike here so all I can really say is that you can contact support.

[crude plover]

Mike do you know of immortal vises 30% DR line is actually "reduced" or is it a "less" damage taken modifier?

I would assume it'd be "less" but the descriptive text for the unique property says reduced. It's also missing the "multiplicative with other modifiers" alt text.

As in would it be additive or multiplicative with other sources of "reduced damage taken"

[halcyon haven]

does blind have full affect vs bosses? uber aberroth in particular

For Orb Weaver's Fang effect "stats on this item are doubled for 3 seconds after hitting a boss or rare enemy on low health." Does this effect has a cooldown or is renewed as long as you hit boss/rare with low health? Are all effects applied? Crit multi/attributes/added damage/increased damage? And how does this work with Rive's "Foe Cleaver" that doubles stats. Thank you

[crude plover]

No icd afaik and everything should work including foe cleaver, since item effects apply first

Even though my evade is replaced with spirit step by the flames of midnight ring, I'm still losing health and ward by nihilis as if I'm using evade. Is this intentional or is it a bug?

No, we've been trying to make VPNs work better but they do frequently cause problems. That is very likely to be the issue.

1. Hi, I want to ask about how Storm Totem's "Unmatched Storms" interact with the "Gathering Storm" skill's nodes, such as "Looming Clouds", "Island Cleaver" and their associated nodes.
2. Also if I use the Totem variant of "Tempest Strike", does "Calm Seas" or "Warm Shelter" apply since no melee hits
3. Also does Cloudburst Conduit work with the Totem version of Tempest Strike?

[placid plinth]

Looming Clouds and Island Cleaver have no effect on Unmatched Storms.
Looming Gale explains in the alt text that it casts cold instead.
No as you are no longer casting Thunder Tempest.

[distant stirrup]

Thanks, this clears things up somewhat. I noticed that when mousing over the minions, the buffs are not displayed in the HP bar. Are there any features to enable them to be displayed?

There's a big difference between "with volcanic orb on their bar" and "with volcanic orb as primary damage source. For the latter, I think not

[runic shell]

for devs: i see often that champions tend to "spam" their abilities with almost no delay/windup animation and for some combinations it's quite deadly for ranged squishier classes, even at just 300-400 corruption. A you planning to rebalance these abilities by tweaking the damage/ add delay/ make clearer windup animations? Or making other possible solutions?

[void solar]

Do you have Fury and Fortune allocated in the Weaver Tree? That gives them all Enraged, which gives 60% increased attack and cast speed and 35% increased movement speed. If yes to Fury and Fortune and if you're finding them too challenging, you may want to temporarily unspec that Weaver tree node. I had to on my alt for a while.

As far as rebalancing, let the devs know that you would like that in the feedback or suggestion sections. You can post into one of the existing categories here
#1210282176680169562 or here #1210281911872786482 or on the website forum here https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/feedback-and-suggestions/26

[runic shell]

no i specifically tried the game without those nodes enabled, to see if situation improves. Champions still spam abilities without windup animation and practically on sight

[desert sleet]

There's a lot of different champions, modifiers, and abilities, so if there's specific ones (or combos) you feel aren't providing adequate opportunity for counterplay, mentioning which specific ones in #1210281911872786482 is very helpful.

e.g. the laser attack was something that was specifically called out by the community that led to a closer look and then to a fix for it dealing way too much damage and being a DoT that acted like a hit.

I have a technical question regarding new Acolyte withcfire relic, it has more dmg scaling from %curse dmg, but when i tried using Hollow lich node that converts leech to generic damage, which should include curse damage too for some reason the relic was not getting any boost. is it bugged is it intended what the heck is going on? does the relic count only %curse dmg and not generic %inc dmg?

[desert sleet]

All sources of health leech are converted to increased damage at 10 times their value.

Witchfire deals More Damage equal to 66% of your increased Curse Damage

Increased damage is not increased curse damage. Downfall of the Righteous specifically scales on the "increased curse damage" stat, not the sum of all increased damage stats that apply to curses.

[distant stirrup]

1. Another question : Do minions autocast their skills when the cool down timer reaches 0?
2. Is the cooldown shared?
3. Dragonflame Edict's "when you use a minion skill" does that work with skeletal Mages traversal ability? What is meant by "minion skill", since the phrasing is different from "companion ability"?

[pine chasm]

1. Short answer is yes, longer answer is each skill has different engage ranges and whatnot but usually if they have a valid target yeah they'll use their cooldown skills as soon as they are physically able (and just to be clear, this is for skills that your minion has, not companion abilities which need to be either directly triggered by you pressing the button or triggered in some other way)
2. No
3. Minion skills are skills with the Minion scaling tag (typically skills that summon minions have this tag, but it's not a hard rule); yes using Summon Skeletal Mage is using a minion skill
   Edit to also add, dragonflame nova has a hidden 2 second cooldown fyi, tooltip is bugged to not display that

Is there anywhere in the game I can get specific quests to help get more passive skill points (Not like the blue ones during main campaign)

Like daily quests/weekly quests or does that not exist?

Does the spear Phalanx's unique effect (more damage with vengeance per block chance) work with uncapped block chance, or only up to 100%?

[steady spindle]

Hey Mike. I saw people suggesting to pop their Runes prophecies in Tombs and Cemeteries to get more Havoc runes out of them. I clearly understand where this comes from, as Tombs/Cemeteries have appearently a better chance to drop Havocs and Redemtions.
But from all that we know about prophecies, something tells me that this is not how prophecies usually work.

So in short: Will completing a generic rune prophecy in a Tomb or Cemetery lead to more Havoc/Redemtion in average?

[valid rune]

What are other ways to get passive skill points other than just levelling up?

[flint bloom]

campaign quests and levels. thats it. 98 from leveling. 15 from story

[valid rune]

Is there a way to check Blue quests you havent completed like side quests?

[flint bloom]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/passives

compare this to your journal ingame

[valid oyster]

I'll be honest: depending on if they add in more ways to get passive points or not (depending on the current layout & the teams creative vision at hand.) would depend on the direction going forward. Maybe a few more will make the rounds in the story leading up to the eventual confrontation of apophis post-chapter 9, & eventually, orobyss.

But for now, I would temper expectations. And if needed, also request it in the #1210281911872786482 in a constructive manner & see if it resonates with enough of the community.

Also I had another question, are cosmetics available for all classes or are there specific class cosmetics?

Like are there special class cosmetics or are they available for all classes if you buy them

[frail sentinel]

Armour, Pets and Portals - All Classes
Weapons - All Classes (with the exceptions of Bows only because Bows themselves are Class locked, not the cosmetics)
Skill MTX - These apply to the Skill, not the Class. So if you are playing a Rogue and on the Cosmetic panel, equip the Beeteor cosmetic in the Mage slots - after triggering a Meteor Shrine, it will have the Beeteor cosmetic effect!

Also Cosmetics unlock for your Account, so you can apply them as many times as you want to as many Characters as you want. If you have 10 characters, they can wear the same set of armour at the same time.

[valid rune]

Was just wondering if the team ever plans to come out with special cosmetics for specific classes?

Or when you guys make cosmetics, you make them available for all the classes

[frail sentinel]

To my knowledge we have no plans to make Class specific cosmetics.

@frail sentinel How can I send a screenshot in this server to report bugs?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure really. Rune generation is different than regular item generation so it could be true.

[placid plinth]

Should be uncapped but if there are effects which give a guaranteed next block that visually give 100% block, they shouldn't count.

Do equipment-based spells (ones that do not have an actual skill tree) inherit modifiers from the attack used to proc them?

In general, no. Though some of them technically modify a specific skill to make it cast the skill or specifically say they inherit modifiers, in which case the modifiers are inherited (e.g., axe throw on vortex pennant or flame whip on spine of Malatros).

are there any plans to update/rework the prophecy system? i currently spend too much time rerolling prophecies, especially for an ARPG. im using lenses to try and target farm unique body armors in monoliths with the double rewards lenses and i spend so much time rerolling trying to get unique body armor prophecies...at least 5 minutes just sitting there spamming rerolls to get a big batch of prophecies using, for example, 100k favor (since you need to filter out a lot of junk prophecies). I feel like im forced to play a tedious minigame before i can go back to the monoliths and kill stuff.

having to use a lens to remove non-monolith prophecies also feels like a tax, since there is currently no reason to trigger prophecies outside of a monolith as you want the corruption bonus to kick in. in particular, you do not want to waste favor triggering prophecies in low level campaign maps. the whole system just feels really clunky and could use a QOL update currently.

[pine dome]

No only the speed at which you cast it

[zinc plover]

so no other way then skill node to influence those stats ?

There are constant plans to make the game better. Devs have heard some of the pain points on cof (mike actually talked about some of this on yesterdays devs stream). Are there talks and plans? yes. Is it coming in s3? No one knows. Devs wont spoil s3.

Good afternoon, I had a question about non direct skill proc’s and skill cooldown. I’m curious if a skill has a built in cooldown or an added cooldown from a skill/item/passive are indirect casts supposed to abide by the cool down timer. I’ve come across situations where some times indirect casts ignore the cd and I’ve also come across situations where they follow it. I believe in the past some indirect skill proc’s in game have been classified as bugged and were eventually patched. The reason I ask this is I’m trying to make my own build of a void shield throw forge guard, using the unique shield “sigeon’s reprisal” as the base for the build. And a “issue” arises with build idea and the uni mod “(25% to 35%) Chance to retaliate with Shield Throw on Block (up to 2 times per second)” and the shield throw node “siege breaker” which says “Shield Throw deals more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers), but Shield Throw has a longer cooldown.”. And currently the cool down from node prevents indirect shield throws. Just curious if that’s as intended.

[placid plinth]

Because the effect itself defines a specific cooldown duration, the normal ability cooldown is not used and the increased children length will not affect the trigger cooldown.

is there a reason why grand primalist idols have basicly the same affix:"damage over time" with the same value as "damage over time while transformed"? shouldnt the later be more because its more specific? im sure there are other examples like this

[placid plinth]

In general that is how it works if they are directly competing with each other for a slot.

[steel nexus]

was just wondering because normally the rule is more specific means higher value like with elemental damage over time

[vapid root]

I hope there are plans to address the performance of the game as certain builds even with a 5080 you'll be lucky to hit 35 fps in an echo with a bunch of mobs onscreen

[crude plover]

The game is generally more CPU bound than it is GPU bound. Regardless most major patches come with performance improvements, the game runs better now than ever in my experience (I usually have no issues sustaining 60 fps on a laptop with a 2070. Although I haven't played any insane builds performance wise recently)

[flint bloom]

if you are getting those massive fps drops...please put in bug reports about when/where/whats happening/skills being used. generically complaining about perf doesnt help as much as submitted bug reports (hit f8 ingame) with details. but as cyborg said, its always being worked on, but it goes much faster with specific reports

[vapid root]

Fine.. I'll put in an official report... System is a 5800x3d / 5080 / 64gigsDDR4-4000 and 2 very fast nvme's btw... just for reference... And have yet to encounter any game that goes above 45% cpu usage

[flint bloom]

all that is captured when you hit the f8 button in game

and it pulls the actual game data which the devs need to fix the issue

[vapid root]

Yeh I know... but since this isn't a bug would not naturally think to report it with that

[crude plover]

You can report pretty much anything with the bug report tool, even suggestions and feedback have their own category

[flint bloom]

pretty much anytime game does something that its not supposed to, bug report

[upbeat lion]

Is the blessing 'Grant survival of might' bugged? since I have 69% crit strike avoidance but still only get the lowest dodge rating (51) range is 51-90

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of but if you're experiencing something that you think might be a bug, please use the in game bug reporting tool. (F8)

[rough loom]

Does necropolis of the weaver apply to cemetery of reweaving?

[humble axle]

Quick question is item recovery a possible thing?. I was rerolling in strife got what i wanted and took the item out of strife and put it in my inventory. Then i sent a message to chat (trying to show off luck) which linked well rolled weapon and shortly after i disconnected. I immediately relogged and the item was not in my inventory and the strife echo was completed.

[crude plover]

Try to relog again, if it's not there then sadly it's gone.

[pine chasm]

If it was in the crafting device when you disconnected, run another strife echo, it should still be in there

[humble axle]

i was in the strife forge and rerolled prior to last craft

[edgy sorrel]

Can the havoc and redemption runes show up as prophecy rewards?

[crude plover]

No but you can get them from the generic prophecy

[upbeat lion]

Can anyone explain me when you are entering the prophecies and look for Exalted Quiver, why the x3 quiver is 1060 favor and the x4 quiver cost instantly 2700 favor, scaling feels weird

[solemn dirge]

3x quiver prophecy = 1 use, you get total 3 quivers. 353 favor per item.
4x quiver prophecy = 2 uses, you get total 8 quivers. 338 favor per item.

[robust fractal]

Do the nodes from the multistrike skill tree affect smites from hallowed arsenal?

[pine dome]

Smite being a skill direct castable and with a skill tree, none of the nodes in Multistrike affects it

Unless specifically stated (but I don't think there is)

[robust fractal]

I meant the swords being replaced with smite

[toxic vale]

Hello!. I have 2 questions:
Do we have a Roadmap?
Do we know if 'seasons' are going to every 4 months? or how many months?.

[pine dome]

Not yet
3-4 months is the goal, devs seem confident they will achieve this for 1.3

[pine dome]

Yup, I know what you meant

More dmg per Armor inside MS for exemple doesn't affect Smite procced by MS

[robust fractal]

Awesome, thanks for the reply!

[pine dome]

More Sword do gives you more Smites

[toxic vale]

Another silly question.
Are we going to have more cosmetics? (this is the only game I buy cosmetics) and I was wondering if we are going to have more cloaks/capes and more effects for abilities.

[pine dome]

Every major patch brings a new batch
1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc...

[harsh sky]

Just checking before I report this as a bug - Energy Wave from the Projection of War node in Rive is not triggering the Bound Weapon node (summons forged weapon on hit). Is this intended, or is it a bug?

[crude plover]

Intended, the energy wave is not rive

Not to say it shouldn't work, you can post a suggestion in the #1210282176680169562 but it is expected of it not to work from wording alone.

Normally only stats gets passed on to sub-skills, more unique properties usually don't.

For example the ice spikes in shatter strike don't get the recasts from the whiteout node. You still shoot them 3 times but if they got the recasts you'd shoot them 9 times total

[valid dust]

Can anyone explain the Ice Barrage node Sleetfire and what it does? It says you become silenced, which I hope is an accidental word flub. If you are classical rpg silenced, why would it say other skills cost additional mana?

[placid plinth]

You can't cast ice barrage while ice barrage is active and it also nukes your mana so you can't really cast much of anything else.

[azure jasper]

does converting Detonating Arrow into Ice from lightning remove its lightning tendrils and it's further node with penetration?
my point being no matter what you do with even maxed Ice converted DA triggered from Explosive trap does so incredibly small damage compared to lighting (while obviously being used on optimized build for each)
it just feels like there is something wrong with it and i filled in IGBR quite some time ago it was never adressed so

[placid plinth]

yea

[ember lake]

crossbow class like in poe2 in season 3?

[crude plover]

Most likely no

[ember lake]

ah i see, thats finee :) games still pretty fun regardless and ive been having a blast with the heartseaker

[placid plinth]

Can confirm, no crossbows in season 3.

[final cave]

But what about cowboy class 🤠?

[ember lake]

flintlock style guns would fit this game better imo

[valid marlin]

Hey Mike, what are your thoughts about how the imprint system shook out? Any emergent behavior that EHG didn't predict? For Exalteds specifically, its become a core part of the endgame gear-farm, but mostly just with high tier affixes, not really prioritizing "similar" items, just high-power items. Do you feel like the imprint system is where you want it, or is there anything you'd want to tweak?

[worthy stump]

What about machinegun bows

[frank panther]

no no only grenade slingshots

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, does the FRM to Stun Chance conversion works with the FRM per Attunment ?

[placid plinth]

Very unlikely

[placid plinth]

I think for the vast majority of players it is working really great. I do think we often underestimate the drive to optimize and solve though.

[valid marlin]

Yeah, I think i imagine this being how it goes. I imagine the system was designed with target farming in mind, but the emergent behavior being to just get triple t7s or whatever. I wouldn't expect designers to anticipate how this interacts with the nemesis system. Not to mention new redemption and havoc runes. Unless yall are geniuses. On its face it seems like a system to target certain affixes (for exalteds), but thats not what the community has landed on as the most efficient use.

Still a cool system and excited to see how ehg tunes this and future mechanics

I guess I have one more question, but this might be a bit tricky to pin down/answer

How do you deal with the fact that the most vocal members of the community, especially late in a season, represent such a small fraction of the playerbase, but perhaps an important core? Are you generally concerned about this group being overrepresented when it comes to community feedback?

[cursive sparrow]

are devs happy with volatile reversal rework?seems like very few people playing it according to ladder only 7% of all sentinels playing it

[crude plover]

Just for some context the LE tools ladder only shows top 10k players, not everyone, and currently erasing strike is the meta which doesn't really need volatile reversal. I think if time rot or devouring orbs became meta volatile reversal would also shoot up in popularity.

[wet scaffold]

hello team..i purchasedd the woven legend supporter pack and in game is shows owned but there are no items there. steam says they cannot help me. i bought tha package for the 59.95 so i could have all those items. can you please help me out

Hello question about the weaver tree node "bountiful sarcophagy", if your in raise corruption will the IIR apply to the boss specific drop inside of the echo for lp amount chance?

[placid plinth]

The Support home page they linked has a "Submit a request" button in the top right corner that takes you to this page: https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/requests/new which is the contact form to fill out for help.

[placid plinth]

afaik it should yea, because you're doing it in the monolith

[placid plinth]

It's in a dramatically more interesting, fun and healthy situation now. I think a lot of players are on a detox from it at the moment and expect it to rebound a bit.

[placid plinth]

It's soemthing that we have to take into account regardless of the time in the release cycle but you're right, it does get amplified a bit now. All of the large scale major systems coming for Season 3 are already locked in though.

[harsh sky]

Speaking of which, are we going to see any changes to the imprint system in season 3?

[placid plinth]

Maybe, I don't have any info to share on that but I was more talking about major systems.

[pine dome]

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

[valid marlin]

I'd say right now, imprint feels like a major system!

[placid plinth]

no, it's only from the Dead of Winter node

[placid plinth]

This is really just semantics but by major system I mean like the Weaver Tree as a whole as a system or the Nemesis system as a whole. The egg is the most prominent part of the Nemesis system but the egg isn't a major system. It's just part of the Nemesis system.

[valid marlin]

What you meant was clear, I was just making a joke. Sorry about that

[ashen summit]

is increased damage while channeling a global damage buff or does it only affect channeling skills?

[crude plover]

global

[steady meteor]

when is new season

[crude plover]

They're trying to have them come out every 3 to 4 months, so it should be 1-2 months away if that holds

[steady meteor]

man i wanna play it but there is no more content only corrpt

[final cave]

So you're telling me there's a chance... 😉

[humble axle]

So quick question i have a suggestion i pre typed in notepad and i want to make but the character count will require me to send multiple messages in the suggestion channel will that count as spam?

[crude plover]

No it's fine, as long as it's not like 10 messages long

[humble axle]

notepad says its 5,797 characters, is it possible to upload a screen shot in suggestions? as that way it would just be 1 post

[crude plover]

Don't think you can send screenshots in the suggestion channels. And regardless 6000 characters would be 3 normal full limit messages which in my opinion sounds like too much information.

They've stated in the past that the best suggestions are concise and to the point, giving essential information without too many un-essential details. I'd try to bring it down to below 4000 at least and send it in two messages instead. Not so much because it'd be spam but because it'll most likely get glossed over if it's too long.

Yeah the official forum website works too.

[azure jasper]

i was told to post it on forum lol, in that case

[humble axle]

ok i will try and figure out forum. the suggestion stems from last dev stream and i question i had. i tried to briefly explain it there and the comment was confusing and unclear. and i believe mike asked me to clarify and i may have gone to far and specific and trying to do that.

[placid plinth]

I don't know how to describe it but there is a point of diminishing returns on the detail of a suggestion. It's almost like the overall quality of a suggestion is pegged at the lowest point of that suggestion. I often find myself much more interested in the 2-3 sentence suggestions. The big essays can have good ideas in them but more often than I would like, there is some small issue right at the start which makes the entire rest of the post irrelevant.

I think the big suggestion essays are often attempting to solve a very specific issue and the posts which just outline the issue with "when x happens, I feel y" are much more effective at communicating where the fix needs to happen.

I remember suggesting that one be reworded but I can't remember which one that was. In general, if you're over the character limit of a single discord post, go to the web forums instead and I would suggest attempting to trim 50% of the post.

[humble axle]

ok ill note that moving forward. The short and simple was new dmg base type. had to fulfil a conditions to enable damage. concept based around living on a razor edge playstyle. hp focused staying within a lowlife threshold. and scaling damage by staying in combat.

[placid plinth]

I'll almost never discourage people from exploring ideas but the chances of us adding a new damage type are so small that I would urge you to focus on highlighting a very clear problem that necessitates a new damage type being created as the only possible solution rather than what that new damage type could look like.

An incredibly cool new damage type would not be added because it's cool. There would need to be a systemic problem that it was solving. Of which I can't think of any.

[crude plover]

Maxing 8 resistances

[azure jasper]

mike servers down btw (why is it tuesday already??)

[crude plover]

Steam maintenance

[placid plinth]

also the beautiful symmetry around physical with 3 left and right

[placid plinth]

it's tuesday afternoon

[crude plover]

Okay but what if we got 10 ring slots

(powerful energy can't be too close to each other even though they are when you're holding a 2h weapon ......)

[humble axle]

i want to say it was less about the damage type and more about the theme of different playstyle from general tank/glass cannon/balanced. i created it around a new damage type as to try and give it "logical" depth i guess and not just be a random insert. but i shall move on thanks for feedback, and im not discouraged. ill have more wacky ideas to drop in the future im sure.

[rapid cloak]

Are servers down or sth? I have lost connection when i open the online chars or if it loads i go through a door and its happening again

[crude plover]

Yes servers seem to still be recovering from the steam maintenance

[ashen summit]

during a few Q&As and interviews ive seen mike talk about future overhauls on dungeons. will this be something that is a goal to get into the season 3 launch or is this a more long term development goal that'll just be ready whenever its ready?

[eager reef]

Does fighting chance(gloves) increased damage taken calculate before reflect damage %? so if I take extra damage I'll reflect more of it, or is damage calculated and then an extra % is dealt to me and a % is reflected?

[summer moth]

Do things like fire penetration apply to ignites?

[fleet galleon]

yes

[placid plinth]

Reflect is based on damage taken after all modifiers.

[eager reef]

Sweet thanks mike

[placid plinth]

We aren't planning to overhaul the dungeon system for season 3.

[olive tusk]

If a minion casts an ability that I have specialized into for passive trees. Do the passive tree changes have an effect on the minion casting the ability? Like in the case Death Blossom/Death Knights and hungering souls?

[crude plover]

It does not

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

[olive tusk]

Thanks

[frosty compass]

Gotta say I've enjoyed dungeons a lot more as of late. Having generally good items available as boss drops makes it more fun for me to farm them and the addition of guaranteeing 1 affix for slamming has made Temporal Sanctum (almost) always be a positive experience so things are definitely moving in the right direction for dungeons. A big overhaul doesn't feel that needed personally but always room for smaller tweaks

[valid marlin]

Are you running the dungeon, or just doing the boss portal? If the latter, definitely feels vestigial, but not in dire need of changing.

It feels like yesterday that dungeons were the new hotness.

Disintegrate's Lucomancer node(and similar effects), I'm pretty sure I know how they work, but want to be sure.

If it is a single line item that says "global damage to shocked or ignited: 4%", this is 4% more damage if the target is shocked and ignited, correct? Whereas "Shatter Nova" node in elemental nova, which gives 10% more damage in 4 separate line items with separate conditions, those are all separately applied, for a bonus of up to 1.1^4-1 more damage, right?

[crude plover]

correct

[serene mango]

hey mike ! since its been around 2 months since release, which should be halfway for season 3, do you feel like development is progressing towards that timegoal

[placid plinth]

while complete avoiding any specifics of timelines, I'm feeling happy about the progress towards next season. We have an internal target that is looking realistic.

[ocean marlin]

any buffs planned? love the game but hc ladder are only judgement paladin... i would love to have some buffs

[crude plover]

Every major patch comes with balance changes. A build being dominant doesn't necessarily mean others are weak either

[valid marlin]

While technically true...judgement paladin might be a bit better than most other HC options

[crude plover]

Yes that was my point, it might be the case that judgement needs a nerf instead of other builds needing a buff

[crude plover]

Does bone curse scale with damage over time modifiers inherited from the parent skill? I know it doesn't have the dot tag but the damage itself is listed as dot. It's a bit weird

I'm guessing no and that this is just a consequence of LE tools trying to figure out a weirdly made thing too hard

[placid plinth]

I have no idea where that (over time) is coming from. It's not dot damage

[crude plover]

Yeah figured as much, tunklab seems to get it right

[ocean marlin]

I don't mind her being extremely strong, I mind her being totally dominant and taking away all the desire to be creative with the game because the rest is weak.

[frosty compass]

Bit of both - Depending on if I have Portal Charms or not 😄

[loud panther]

would you consider auto completing the echo objective if we kill the boss in the graveyard? maybe lock it behind maxing out the weaver tree or something, but it would speed up farming and remove the annoyance of having to go back to the echo and often traverse long distances that were already cleared

[flint bloom]

If you want the devs to consider anything, please put it in either #1210281911872786482 or #1210282176680169562

Nothing gets pulled from here

[loud panther]

okey, thanks

[sturdy ridge]

Will overtuned woven echoes get balanced in S2?

[placid plinth]

There will be some balancing adjustments to all sorts of things. I can't say specifically what any upcoming balance changes will be.

oh, in Season 2? no

Season 3 (the next season) will be the next balance point

[crude plover]

Is Gregory the only Grole that knows human language? Or is there a secret intelligent grole society?

Don't answer this question. Our secrets must not be publicised so frivolously.

Did you just answer the question by saying not to answer the question? 🤔

[dense needle]

Unless I'm blind, I didn't see anything in #news about 2.0. Is there any info about when to expect that or any interesting additions to the game we can look forward to?

[crude plover]

Do you mean 1.2 and 1.3 (1.2, or season 2 was this current season, and 1,3, season 3 is the upcoming one)?

If so they usually start posting blog posts regarding features and stuff a month or less away from launch. here are some of the blog posts for season 2:

Does the conversion of salt the wound apply on suloron step melee crit multiplier?

[crude plover]

no

says so in the grey text, "does not convert critical strike multiplier specific to certain types of skill, such as spells". Melee skills would fall into that

It only converts generic crit multi, which is what shows up on your character sheet, if it doesn't show up there salt the wound won't convert it

[frozen zenith]

Thanks

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, was wondering if you could maybe check to make sure if nemesis outcomes for non-unique items are affected by corruption? I'd assume yes based on what Trasochi has said but there is some semi-conflicting information.

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

[placid plinth]

Trasochi designed the system and wrote the code. She is right.

[burnt scroll]

Hey guys, curious about which render pipeline last epoch is currently using, URP perhaps?

edit:

I don't think so because I think it came out while we were in the middle of development and we don't have the capabilities to convert all of our older stuff to the new system and keep up with new content creation.
I just saw this answer a while ago from mike, maybe its still built in

[strong sentinel]

You're going to need a leveling process regardless. We are continuing to add more options to that leveling process. Level 1 monolith is not something we are interested in.

[placid plinth]

built-in, not using URP

[eternal zinc]

Mike, did EHG confirm which theme will 1.3 go and working on contents for this theme?

[fleet galleon]

Not yet.

[eternal zinc]

🫡 still have chance to promote my honey & bees concept then.

[valid marlin]

Mike, I'm curious about your thoughts from a design point of view - Do you see it as a problem in itemization when an item like Orian's Descent is being used by most mages just for the +25 int? At first glance, it's a belt for VR, but effects like +25 int make it the best option for most mages (and other classes too, probably). Something similar could be said about items like Atrophy gloves, Phantom Grip rings, etc.

[pine chasm]

What we do know is they plan on releasing chapter 10 of the campaign, which focuses on the Ancient Era (surely will contain honey and bees and bumblebears), and also a refresh/touch-up on lich and necromancer.

[placid plinth]

Not at all, I think it's a great thing to have items being used for different reasons and in different builds. I'm also using that same belt on my Marksman at the moment.

[valid marlin]

I'm using that item for 6 different characters at the moment, none of them sentinels. I'm wondering if EHG would see it as concerning if it crowds out huge swaths of itemization for providing large generic power. Having a variety of uses is certainly interesting on its own. Being a Best-in-slot choice for an entire class just for one generic stat is...Well, I guess I'm asking.

Unsurprisingly, this is feedback in disguise. Taking your advice elsewhere, I'll provide the feedback in the appropriate channels - "When I find the best item in a slot is one in which I ignore the vast majority of the items effect to gain one generic effect, I feel bad" "When this happens with the same item for 4+ different characters in a season, I feel more bad!"

[placid plinth]

It's possible that it might just be too much int on a single item where it can't usually be found there. It's an interesting decesion though. Is 25 int worth giving up the power budget on the rest of the item. Maybe? I've always liked items like this personally.

[valid marlin]

In principle, I agree. But I don't think this is currently an interesting decision. +25 int is better than every other unique belt in the game for essentially any type of mage. For most builds, this is true by a wide margin. Grain of salt, I'm no expert. But I haven't built a mage that made any other choice

Exceptions for "Harbinger of Stars" and high LP "Strand of Souls"

I think I'm likely exaggerating due to some recent itemization frustrations, and your response is appreciated. Thanks, Mike!

[crude plover]

They were right :0

I'd bet that it used to work and something happened where it's erroring in the dps calculation function and we just didn't notice

[steel nexus]

i have a question about snapshotting, i know you guys dont like it and try to fix it for minions but would like to know if other things also count as snapshoting and if you want to fix that too

for example, i am playing judgement aura paladin, i am very often using the buff from my javelin and from holy aura before i cast judgement to boost the damage, i also plan on using communion of the erased to drink a health potion right before to boost the dmg even more, is this considered snapshoting too?

[crude plover]

Technically it is but practically it wouldn't be considered snapshotting. The issue with minion snapshotting is that they keep the benefits far longer than the stats duration, whether you swap out gear or give them the stats of a temporary buff permanently. There's a clear difference between benefitting a few attacks by using a 5 second buff and no longer being able to benefit attacks with it after it falls off and having a minion benefit from the same 5 second buff for entire fights or sessions without it ever dropping off.

Basically the only "snapshotting" that exists for normal attacks and spells is when you have like 0.1 seconds left of a buff, and you use a skill before it falls off but the skill lands after it falls off. Which is an incredibly niche and inconsequential consequence of the system.

[steel nexus]

yeah thats how i see it too, i hope the devs agree too 😅

[cursive sparrow]

i heard people saying that mike mentioned changes to CT coming forward in LE, is it possible to elaborate more?(if/what will change if possible)

[placid plinth]

I've already said all I know about it. I just heard the problems phase and that they were trying to work out a solution.

[placid plinth]

It's only really an issue if you are actively switching your gear out after the snapshot and before a fight.

[merry shore]

Greetings, will there be moderation in the chat?

[crude plover]

The community managers as well as moderators do moderate the in-game chat while they're in there. sometimes outside of office hours and because the global chat is sectioned it can result in some things being missed. If you want to report an infraction please follow these steps:

While in game, Press escape -> Support -> reporting & moderation, and then give a quick explanation by filling out the form. Unfortunately there's no fast report button.

[crude plover]

Changes to the quality of the game is very broad. Builds that can reliably and smoothly farm 5000 corruption are most likely outliers in power and usually get nerfed, if that's what you mean.

Also please don't ping ehg members, it's rule #10 in #rules

[wicked dirge]

no that's not what I mean

So I understand correctly that for people who want to go to 5k corruption every cycle there will be no changes and improvements in the quality of the game and the developers have no plans to change the gameplay for this category of players?

[arctic tusk]

~/.config/unity3d/Eleventh\ Hour\ Games/Last\ Epoch/Saves/
However I do not see any savegames there,
I even created a new offline character and he is nowhere to be found on my system.
I have disabled cloud saves for this game.

Also I've tried looking on different locations (all paths with Epoch in them) and the Saves folders were all empty

The reason on why I want to know Saves folder path, is because I have many Saved games from before 1.0 release, and the game doesn't recognize them ("1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_10")

[steady panther]

Hmm might be in AppData/Local Low i think where you can find your lootfilters. Etc...

[zinc plover]

are "damage dealt over X seconds" considered dot dmg and can be mitigated by less dmg taken from dot or other dot mitigation ?

[pine dome]

Like from Blood Mage gloves and Immortal Vise?

Then no, the dmg has already been mitigated

[arctic tusk]

How do the new Savegame files called? 1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_10 ? 1CHARACTERSLOT_10? other name?

Also I did not find any files at:
~/Games/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/899770/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Eleventh\ Hour\ Games/Last\ Epoch/Saves/
~/Games/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/899770/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/Eleventh\ Hour\ Games/Last\ Epoch/Filters/

[zinc plover]

oh i didn't even think to check the extra description 🤦‍♂️

does "chances to gain lightning aegis when hit" apply aegis dmg reduction to the triggering hit or only the subsequents ones ?

[steel nexus]

how does the gauntlent of fury judgement mtx interact with judgement being skilled into a aura, is the gauntlent following me?

[placid plinth]

The chance is rolled once per hit at the moment of contact.

[placid plinth]

I don't remember but it should be the same as the sword by default. Doesn't really exist in aura mode.

[zinc plover]

does the hit giving you the aegis buff get reduced by 25% from the aegis ?

[placid plinth]

The beta names would be from when we were in beta. Rest are just lowest slot available. The support site should have all the file paths.

!support

[fiery lily]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[placid plinth]

No

[placid plinth]

No. There are improvements coming for characters of all corruption levels. I'm assuming you're the same person from stream yesterday yea? If not I talked a bunch about this on stream yesterday. The game was never designed to go to 5k correction. Builds that have managed to push that high are significant outliers. Having high corruption to push for high skill players is great but that number is arbitrary and having it be 5k is too high without making some massive changes. The more sensible option is to bring the high push corruption number down.

[arctic tusk]

But is the naming convention still the same? should I be able to find the saves if I search for "CHARACTERSLOT" ? (because for some reason I can't locate the new saves this way)

[knotty quartz]

On Lethal Concentration weapon, does it include your poison penetration too? It says poison damage modifiers, wording sound like it might I just want to double-check

[placid plinth]

Yes (you might not have hidden files turned on)

[placid plinth]

It's very precisely worded. The example in the alt text shows the format it needs to be in.

The stat is broken up into sections. [Type] + [Tags] + [stat]

[Increased/reduced/more/less] + [poison] + [damage]

If it doesn't say damage, it's not a damage modifier.

Penetration is not a damage modifier.

[knotty quartz]

ah thought it was damage modifier. thank you

[wicked dirge]

ty for answer

[ashen summit]

Got a question about the way judgment works. For clarification I am running Judgement with skill points allocated into Anointed to run it as an aura.

A few days ago I asked if 'damage while channeling' was a global buff and was told yes, so I tested the increase it would apply to judgement on the training dummies and found it didn't increase damage at all. After that I tested changing weapons as im using the skill and found the damage Judgment deals (at least when used as an aura) is based on the gear used at the beginning of the skill. This causes global buffs based on actions to not apply at all to Judgment, and can even be used to snapshot the skill. Despite this global buffs do apply to the damage calculation on the skill tooltip but not the skill.

Is this the intended way for Judgement to work while using Anointed or should I put it in a bug report. Hope this is the correct channel to ask this question. Was testing by having destructive impact maxed out on the Judgment tree for max area and using warpath to get damage while channeling to proc without warpath hitting the dummy

[placid plinth]

Yes, it is any modifier of the damage stat.

[stoic nest]

Wondering, will be changed minions, companions, their revive system in near future? Also is it made so that every build in Beastmaster must spam Swipe, will be made any minion beastmaster builds playable without swipe?

[placid plinth]

That is working as expected. Once an ability object is created (aura starts), it isn't affected by changes to your character stats.

Imagine if a fireball damage dropped after you cast it because a buff ran out.

[placid plinth]

No and no.
I can't comment on potential upcoming balance changes.

[primal folio]

Hey Mike, you guys releasing info any time soon on the next season content and timeline?

[south badge]

Will there be an API that we can talk to via the game for making overlays and such, or at the least, a logfile like EQ had, that we can parse to make side-tools? (Think GINA)

[placid plinth]

Once we get closer to the release date, we will be churning out our usual pre-patch content. I've put a few little teasers on stream recently.

[placid plinth]

No, we don't intend to make that. If you would like us to consider it, you can put it in #1210282176680169562 . The big thing that would enable is a DPS meter which is something we very intentionally don't have.

[hollow acorn]

LE-94 failed to fetch player data. We absolutely cant play in coop. Any fix for that?

[steel nexus]

is there a specific reason why the top 3 timelines need 900 stability while all others only need 800?

[strange kestrel]

When start next Saison?

[flint bloom]

dates are not public yet. if they devs stick to their original timeline (which they have said they are on track for). 1-2 months

[eternal zinc]

I heard 1.3 will smaller than 1.2? How will "small" means? Never mind, solved, it mean the time

[lapis yew]

Salutations Devs. I hope that is all well today. I was curious if you would be able to help me understand how raising the base crit with Dragonsong and other items would work. I understand that each character starts with a base crit chance of 5%. I am also using the Shattered Worlds unique item which raises base crit chance by 4% which if they are multiplicative should be a base crit chance of 9%. I am also using a blighted avenged blade quiver which raises base crit chance by 2% which should turn the 9% into 11% base crit chance. Now with the Dragonsong unique bow it raises the base crit chance of fire skills by 7%. I am using heartseeker with the fire conversion. Would this make a total of 18% base crit chance and if I added the base crit from the passive skill tree which raises the base crit chance by another 6%. Would it be a base crit chance of 24% or would it be a base crit chance of 13% from dragonsong and heartseeker passive node Addidtive to the base crit chance of 11% that I get from gear. I am curious on how this interaction works. I have also been looking at the tooltip when I might have A LOT more crit chance than I am seeing. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this and I would appreciate the help. Thank you again.

[crude plover]

It would be 24%, but they're all additive, you have the two terms mixed up

additive means you add them together, so 5+4+2+7+6 = 24, which is correct for base crit

[lapis yew]

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond. I appreciate it. Now that I have a base crit chance of 24% I can increase it with %increase crit chance. I do not know how the scaling here works. If I were to get 100% increased crit chance would it turn the 24% base crit chance into 48% crit chance?

[crude plover]

correct

you'd need 317% increased crit to reach 100% crit chance

[lapis yew]

Thank you. It will keep adding the sum of base crit to the crit chance for every 100%. It might be easier for me to get a dragonsong with the Base crit/Attack speed as LP to easier get 100% crit chance and be able to use one prefix for crit multi and get something else for the second prefix since it wouldn't need to be crit chance. I appreciate the help today. Thank you.

Judging by my items right now, I was correct. I am at 100% crit chance that is not showing on the tooltip. Thank you very much for the help.

[pine dome]

One of the culprit would be Dragon song since you dont have Fire Skills Crit Chance in the Character Sheet

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

This can help you, it has more detailled info like Fire Throw Crit Chance

It doesnt take into account Crit Chance (Flat or Increased) from inside the skill tree

[lapis yew]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Amotokai/character/Amotokai_Season2

[floral patrol]

Your base crit chance for Heartseeker is 26%. Base 5% + Relic 4% + Dragonsong 7% + Quiver 2% + Assassin's Quiver 5 Point Bonus 2% + Decimating Spike 6% = 26%

Your increased crit chance is Bow 80% + Gloves 93% + Ring 65% + Amulet 40% + Assassin's Quiver Passive 40% = 318%
Your current crit chance on your Heartseeker is 108.68%.

[lapis yew]

I failed to take into account the crit from the character passive tree. That means That I might be able to drop the relic and ammy to get some more defenses in the form of health.

[floral patrol]

You'll drop below 100% in both cases, albiet by dropping the amulet you're still at ~98%
Dropping flat crit chance is usually very impactful since every point holds very significant value

[lapis yew]

Yet there are buffs that give %increased crit chance per stack on the character passive tree along with flat crit chance on the character passive tree that should allow a decent switch into more defense based gear.... maybe...

[lapis yew]

I definitely need more defense based gear. Having all of this crit chance is cool but I do 0 damage if I am dead and I simply do not deal enough damage fast enough to not have the defenses. I am probably going to drop to 50% crit chance because after dying seven times in the same monolith it kind of broke my moral. Will try and fix it later.

[hard oyster]

hey, I play those dumb idle games on my pc and often leave an autoclicker open (but inactive), will it flag my account at all, should I make sure I exit it before I play LE online mode? I don't mean autohotkey I mean literally it just clicks on x-y coords a set number of times for me

[placid plinth]

We don't have a set list of good or bad programs that we have released. Given the simplicity of it, I'd say you're probably fine but I can't give you a firm yes or no. The key line we always say is that any software which is running that depends on or reacts to the state of the game is definitely not allowed. If it was an issue, you'd also probably receive a warning first.

[hard oyster]

ok cool

[viral grotto]

Is it by choice or oversight that the node, Misery in bone curse tree, doesn't also convert bleed to damned? (atleast doesn't mention it)
As it seems that every single other skill i've seen also converts ailment chance, if the ailment matches the original damage tag.

[crude plover]

It doesn't and it's intentional. The wording on cloven flesh is kinda weird. It would be more accurate if it said "You have a chance to bleed enemies affected by bone curse on hit" or something along those lines, the cloven flesh bleeds don't actually really interact with the bone curse tree at all. Similar to the bleed from the hemorrhage node in spirit plague, although they do interact a tiny bit with spirit plagues tree they don't interact with the vast majority of its tree either.

[round trout]

not gonna lie the old 4 months update schedule is getting really old i loved this season but got pretty bored after a month and then have 3 months to wait for teh next is really bad feeling

[floral patrol]

Imo 4 months is healthy. Not everyone starts on launch, and people don't have the same amounts of free time to blast for hours every day, some people take longer to minmax their character. And most importantly I'd rather the devs have all the time in their hands to put out a solid product, rushing never led to anything good

[round trout]

i mean i agree sorta but when it takes 4 months to add pretty mnuch nothing it demoralizes the people who want to play the game for extended periods of time. take this last season it was really fun but the only thing in the whole game to do is get strong enough to kill uber and then farm monoliths. nothing is different other than that. i made 8 different builds 6 could kill uber and it was all done in less than a month. i like when they put effort into updates but this season theme every game thinks we like is honestly pretty shit wether it be diablo 2-4, poe1 or 2 , new world, last epoch or any other game they all go for the same formula of make content thats fun for a month and then teh other 3 months are just a waiting game for teh next season. id be ok with teh longer seasons if there was actually stuff to do but i feel like im just swapping from game to game because they dont have good amounts of content until the next season and then even then most seasons are played for a month at most and then most of the player base leaves. i dont think that is healthy for any game , sure there are some people who stick around or play slower or started later. but you can look at steam charts yourself for every game mentioned and see that they all have huge fall offs a few weeks/1 month into season. again i loved this season was very fun but killing uber and doing the same monoliths over and over is simply borring

like last epoch has 6k people in the last 24hrs with a average of 3k

[crude plover]

I actually think it's quite the opposite health wise. The main indicator of a seasonal games health is how many players come back, not necessarily how many keep playing after an arbitrary amount of time. You're not really meant to play the game all year round, a season comes out, you play it, and then move on until the next season releases. There's no way they could ever pump out enough content to keep everyone entertained without burning out all year round playing a single game, it'd take a crazy amount of development time and simply isn't worth it. But if you'd like to provide further feedback of suggestions please do so in the #1210281911872786482 / #1210282176680169562 so that it can get properly logged, since nothing in this channel is.

[round trout]

thats my exact point because of this shitty season meta you cant play a game and have fun all year, thats what a video game is. you are suppose to be able to pick it up and play it whenever you want to have fun and you cant do that when there is 3 months of shitty season2 or whatever season left over. and yes you can pump out content theres plaenty of established games that do that very thing. seasonal play is killing games like this because all teh companies think its good and make the players think it tis too. i want to play my games whenever i want to not only for a few weeks when a new season comes out i rather play a game that is full all round rather then 4 months of the year. and to be honest theres no point to add this to feedback because plenty of people have spoken and complained about this over the years to many companies including this one and nothing changes. and when i say things to do i mean it last epoch is great but literally all that was added this seaon is a pinacle boss ( which was fun to try and beat for a few days) and the ability to choose what map you do with the woven. thats it tbh buffs and class reworks are cool but should of been done on their own not as part of the season theme. just really puts a bad taste when i purchase a game and cant play it for more than 3/4ths of the year because " gotta wait for next season". its a super un healthy way to devolop a game and its really lame that every aarpg is adopting this method. make season play for 1 month wait 3 months for next season. maybe i come from a different time but its super unhealthy in my opinion

for example POE at its low dips when people are "bored" of the season still has 60k people at tej lowest becasue there is so much content compared to others. while last epoch gets 3k average players when there isnt a new season and the exact same thing happens in diablo people play when season starts and then quit pretty quick and less than 10k players stay around

[final cave]

Yeah but nah but yeah innit.
How bout dem groles? When do I get a Yoghurt makers belt?

[crude plover]

this is not true, And also poe has had a lot more time to build up said content, LE came out less than 2 years ago. But I digress. this isn't the place to have a back and forth, sorry I kept it going.

[round trout]

yes but last epoch has a good team now and you could say that about any game just becasue they have this stuff devolped doesnt mean last epoch just cant do it, ive watched crazy games come out with less than 2 years under their belt its not a valid excuse

[frail sentinel]

As Cyborg has said, the correct place for this is out #1210281911872786482 and our #1210282176680169562 as this is not a discussion channel. We understand every player has a different view on this and we do work towards making a game for the majority, that we hope everyone will enjoy!

If you have any more questions, please post them here and either Mike, myself, another Dev or a Beesfriend (moderator) will answer them where possible!

[final cave]

Y'all are gonna argue about this and now Mike will miss my very important question about the timeframes for Grole-sourced dairy products

[round trout]

ok in question form then. why 4 month seasons? 1 months of playable content 3 months of " this game is so boring i might play the sin of arpg D4" which is saying something because i rather eat glass than play D4.

[flint bloom]

the devs want to do 3-4 month seasons, because thats what they are comfortable with in getting new content out (including coding a testing) and having people enjoy the content they put out, and having some semblance of work life balance. its a fairly normal length of time for arpgs as well (and even as you pointed out, other genres as well), as has been for a while. poe 1 and 2 are on 4 month seasons as well. just the industry norm.

yes poe has a higher player count, because it has 10 years of content, not 2.

but these are all things you have already been told, or have said yourself. you just dont like the answer. repeating your question because you dont like it isnt going to give you an answer you want. devs are human, they deserve to have a life outside of making you content. you questions been answered, if your want to further your opinion, do so in the appropriate places as you were told earlier

[raw owl]

Are there intentions of additional classes in the game? So far I've tried Primalist, Acolyte, and started a rogue.
Not itching for anything else yet with all the skillpoint options... but curious what else might be added in the future.

[crude plover]

They've stated that they'll likely add a fourth mastery to existing classes rather than making an entirely new class first, but eventually they'll likely make a new class, not any time soon though.

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

[raw owl]

Ohhh I like that idea !!
I always thought more games should do this, make each class broader rather than a ton of classes that only do niche things.

[lapis yew]

Salutations Dev's. I apologize for bothering but am curious about the Frozen Splinter Heartseeker skill node. It gives 2% cold pen per 10% overcapped cold res. The cap starts at 75% correct? If I have 100% total cold res the cold penetration wouldn't be 20% correct?

[desert sleet]

If you have 100% uncapped (total) cold res, you have 25% overcapped (past 75%) cold res, so that would be 5% cold pen.
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[lapis yew]

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond. I appreciate you.

[red urchin]

with the changes to the CT program, will there be an opening for new applications sometime soon?

[exotic gazelle]

We're not currently planning on opening applications for Season 3. We may open up additional slots in the program for Season 4.

[cursive sparrow]

with upcoming changes to CT will we get earlier acess to patchnotes and not 2 days, in poe for example people have way more time to prepare for next season

[pulsar heath]

I don’t think patch notes should be released in advance just for preparation. The game is meant to be experienced, not a race. A season lasts 3–4 months, but most people only play actively during the first month. On top of that, releasing patch notes early can also give RMT groups a chance to prepare, causing the market to shift too quickly.

There’s no reason to release the patch notes before the season launches.

[proper sundial]

The last two Seasons had 4 and 6 days between the release of patch notes and the update going live.

• Harbingers of Ruin patch notes we're released July 5th, and the update went live July 9th.
• Tombs of the Erased patch notes were released April 11th, and the update went live April 17th.

[jaunty dune]

are there any rough guidelines for what counts as a "content creator" for the new restrictions on being eligible for the CT program? I'm sure it's tricky to draw a clear line curious to know how ehg plans to evaluate that.

For example, is someone with a 500 subscriber YouTube channel who puts out 1-2 unmonetized videos per season about builds they are playing a content creator?

[eternal zinc]

I'm sure EHG will not think digital artists as part of content creators at least. Because

1. fan art are one-time to use and can't be produced consistently
2. Art isn't the most important thing in a game whenever

[eternal zinc]

Our goal is to continue fostering a healthy, collaborative environment where all players, whether content creators, hardcore theorycrafters, or newcomers, feel equally empowered to explore what Last Epoch has to offer.

I still can't understand the meaning after discuessed it here for a while. May you explain what EHG want to express by that or why EHG think the change of CT will 100% bring this result, Mike, please?

[opaque falcon]

can i make a design for last epoch in return for a key to the game 😄

[placid plinth]

we don't generally do that but if you've got an idea that you'd like us to consider, you are welcome to put it in #1210282176680169562

[opaque falcon]

no worries, thanks for the response, will definitely make inputs if I can think of anything substantial!

[placid plinth]

When Season 2 released a lot of players told us that they didn't feel like there was room for them to build their own ideas out because the patch was already solved on day 1. Putting everyone on the same information gating makes the process of figuring out what the best build is going to be a community wide process instead of a CT only process.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure where the line is. I expect that we will have to asses many on a per person basis.

[placid plinth]

we live with our mistakes sometimes

[ivory dune]

Any plan to make modifying the offline game against ToS to prevent the game from being instantly solved on release because they wont have to farm gear or level characters?

[timid fjord]

its not possible to reinforce that, it being offline means they have no access to it from their side to verify if anything has been done

[ivory dune]

oh its been enforced before.

[crude plover]

It already is against ToS

The ToS doesn't mention online or offline when it comes to modifying the game client files.

[harsh sky]

On a separate tangent, it's already tricky to tell if a build will work just and having to farm the whole gear only to find out the build doesn't work isn't exactly a fun experience. In terms of player retention, there's a delicate balance between extending longevity with prolonging time until build are discovered and making sure people aren't burnt out faster because they keep bashing into a wall when every attempt takes a significant amount of time.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure that there is a perfect solution to the situation really. We have tried a few things out and are trying something new out now. I like to think that we are pretty adaptable so if this doesn't work, we will make adjustments for next time.

[crude plover]

Mike won't be able to be in CT since he's a streamer 😭

[placid plinth]

I'll fall on that grenade

[harsh sky]

I think the severity of the issue from the "length to test" direction would eventually be greatly alleviated the more the game gets balanced. I think right now the gap between build strength is just too big sometimes and even when you try to optimize one build to the fullest it still cannot compare to some other builds.

If one build hits a wall at 300c and the other is blitzing at 3000c, people would inevitably think that the 300c build just doesn't work. If the difference is between 2000c and 3000c, people would think more like "ok maybe this build isn't as strong as that build, but it worked" and taking long to test a build becomes less of an issue because what you're trying is more likely to "work".

[eternal zinc]

Alright I still can't understand what sense the change of CT can bring. Let's skip that
Never be an experienced player so maybe I can understand that in the future. It's like I can't understand why imprint system exist in current way...

[coral galleon]

not trying to be mean, but I wouldn't call it a separate tangent as much as I would call it a weird tangent

[eternal zinc]

let's go straight... Do this chang is for the thing happened in last sponsored race?

[valid marlin]

Is it intended for idol prophecies to have no class bias?

[runic shell]

is there any ETA on fixing the slowdown in walk speed in tombs/cemeteries near walls/rubble that can also lead to be stuck? the bug is incredibly frustrating while playing and already well reported

[crude plover]

Sorry you won't get answers regarding the status of bugs or changes in general in this channel. Best bet would most likely be when the next season comes out

[valid marlin]

"Best season" season three confirmed
Edited booooo

[crude plover]

Autocorrect playing games fr

[harsh sky]

I mean, it's separate because I'm not talking about the offline testing itself, but that the notion of making testing builds harder by itself needs to be approached with caution because testing builds is already hard enough as is. I don't think it's such a weird notion that having to put farm the whole exodia just to test whether something would end up pointless or not is something many would not find super enjoyable.

[eternal zinc]

🤔 You let me feel hyped about which new rules will EHG set for future content creators.

[cursive sparrow]

Could we get a clarification on that, where these players come from, was it feedback posts or something else? We didnt have any surves from ehg on this topic and also havent seen many discord posts about that

[placid plinth]

The issue is concentrated near the start of the season so you probably won't find very much feedback to that effect coming through in the last few weeks. We received the feedback on the topic through all major channels. Discord, in game, forums, reddit, other social media.

[eternal zinc]

what inspired EHG to make this change of CT?

[placid plinth]

Feedback from the community.

[marble socket]

Congrats on the hard but correct decision.

[lapis yew]

Salutations dev's. I apologize for bothering. I am curious if Res Penetration acts as a more multiplier compared to res shred. I do know that res shred can put enemy res to 0. Does res pen act as if the enemies res values are in the negative if they res is shreded? I actually have no idea what I am doing in this game and am only trying to get to my first abboroth fight. Thank you for reading this.

[pine dome]

Res Shred and Res Pen are added together and that total value is effectively a More Dmg

[lapis yew]

It's kind of like more damage but not really more damage?

I guess a better alternative question would be is it better damage wise to stack more crit multiplier at 100% crit chance than it is to stack res shred and res penetration? I don't seem to be doing enough damage to get to the Aboroth fight and that is the ultimate goal. Defeat the last boss of the game.

[pine dome]

I would not call it a More Dmg as in its not called like it. Like you can see in your skills or items "xxx deals More Dmg". But mathematically speaking it's More Dmg

[pine dome]

Usually Crit Multi comes at higher value, but at some point Pen being a different bucket of dmg will be better

[lapis yew]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Amotokai/character/Amotokai_Season2 This is where I am at with what I am playing. What would be a good Crit Multi number before I start getting into pen? Also I do very much appreciate you helping me today. Thank you.

[proper sundial]

Just to add to this, there's other changes to the CT program we've wanted to do for a while, it's not just about the removal of content creators. While doing the other changes (making it much more efficient at its intended purposes), it was a good time to also act on the content creation front.

Now all content creators are on the same starting line, can speculate and theorycraft from released information instead of having a set amount of users feeling like they need to hold their tongue because they already know things. This way there is also no favouritism on which content creators have access to this information and which don't.

Being able to fully vet and test theorycrafted ideas is a massive advantage and we've noticed quite a lot of apathy towards theorycrafting as a result of that. We still fully expect knowledgeful players to be able to 'solve' many things from patch notes, but there's a stark difference in having had weeks or months of time to test many iterations and solve those builds compared to having planned builds that end up being refined through actual playtesting.

[pine dome]

Let's move to another channel for the rest

[eternal zinc]

but there's a stark difference in having had weeks or months of time to test many iterations and solve those builds compared to having planned builds that end up being refined through actual playtesting.

Sorry, can you explain which stark difference you mean? Your answer have mentioned the point I don't understand well.

[runic shell]

personally I'm kinda worried on the quality of future patches after the removal from CT of professional content creators.
Will the new participants of the CT program have the same experience in ARPGs, QA and theorycrafting to help you balance overpowered combinations and report bugs to fix?
Disclamer: I am one of the players who does not like theorycrafting and prefer to use guides, and i prefer to have a bug free experience even at the expense of more features

[fleet galleon]

"a massive difference" between someone testing a build for months and deciding it's really good and then making a build guide for it
and testing out a build on the live server without a large advantage over other players

[eternal zinc]

yeah, I mean which difference between them?

[fleet galleon]

If you can't see the difference then I'm not sure how I'd begin to explaining it to you to be honest.

[eternal zinc]

yeah maybe Karv know

[crude plover]

Basically content creators (the people who make guides) won't be able to perfect a build before the patch comes out anymore. They can still maybe do a pretty good job based on the patch notes but they won't be nearly as optimal as they were when the content creators were able to actually test the builds in game for weeks ahead of time in CT and perfect them.

[eternal zinc]

so the logic is expand the time content creators needs for verifying do a build is op or not/ do a build suitable for playing as cycle's starter to let common players feel they're not too far away from the progress of these content creators, so it reach the goal that let different players feel equally to explore?

Oh plus helping new youtubers to develop their channels by making le-relevant videos so current ARPG youtubers can't monopolize the audience. Ok this point is very important exactly.

[crude plover]

Correct but also to not give some content creators an advantage over others. Not all content creators were able to be in CT before.

[eternal zinc]

This is what I want to ask

[lapis yew]

Sorry to bother again Devs. I am curious if this games %increases to damage come with diminishing returns. I am currently getting 292% %increased damage on from dex and I have 60% increased elemental damage on each ring with is 120% and an extra 40% increased damage while wielding a bow from the helmet. which equals roughly 350% increased damage. Now, with some mechanics 100% increased damage would equal double damage and another 100% added would equal 150% more damage and another 100% would equal 175% more damage but I do not know if that is the case with this game. Does the scaling work similiar maybe?

[crude plover]

All sources of increased damage get added together for a total damage increase, so if you have 500% total increased damage you'll deal 600% damage (6 times damage)

[lapis yew]

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help. I appreciate you very much. Thank you.

[valid marlin]

Also, there is a game guide entry that describes this (Press G in game)

[normal valve]

I have public selected in chat yet I am only able to see 'None' as the active channel

how do i fix this?

[placid plinth]

If you can only see none, then public probably isn't actually selected. Try selecting it again.

[normal valve]

i have many times, selected then unselected

the "none' joined is all that shows

[placid plinth]

if you can't get this green checkmark to appear beside public, please contact support for help.

!support

[fiery lily]

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

[normal valve]

yeah i submitted a support request and am still waiting on a reply, been just over 1 hour

in the automated request received email i got, it mentioned joining discord and asking in this channel, so i have it a shot

[placid plinth]

well that's frustrating, I'll have to talk to them about that as this channel is very explicitly labeled not-support

[normal valve]

yeah i noticed that labeled, maybe if they worded this better in the email "*If you have gameplay questions, or you'd like to interact with devs, please join our Discord and check out the "Ask the Devs" channel! Whereas we will do our best to assist, the fastest way to get those answers is our Discord."

[placid plinth]

oh yea, that's fine, this isn't gameplay

[normal valve]

yeah i guess the automated email trie to cover everything, including "if this is an in game bug..." , "If you are looking to provide feedback..." even "if you are looking for contact regarding employment..." yet the flow of filling out the ticket would have precluded these

[lapis yew]

Sorry to bother dev's yet again. I am curious if the Frozen splinter heart seeker node still works while also allocating molten arrow heart seeker node. I haven't seen anything that said it didn't but also thought I should ask to be 100% sure.

[placid plinth]

Should do but with all the damage converted to fire, it really won't do much good. I guess it would affect frostbite chance applied from an item like Snowdrift but that's about it. If you want to use the Frozen Splinter node, you should probably not take the Molten Arrowstorm node. Check the alt text on the cold conversion node to see that it has no effect if you have fire conversion.

[lapis yew]

Thank you for responding. I am scaling flat cold damage with Mourningfrost boots and stacking dex. I also have flat cold damage on the quiver. Thank you for letting me know that it does work. I appreciate it much

[winter hearth]

Ok really weird question but why are my minions sometimes glowing when I enter a map/zone? Its not a big deal I just think it does not look as intended?

[crude plover]

Grace period buff? Not sure

Would have to see it

[winter hearth]

That was it apperently. I was just wondering because it looks quite bright white and honestly a bit ugly if I am honest.

[void solar]

Let the devs know in the feedback or suggestion sections. You can post into one of the existing categories here
#1210282176680169562 or here #1210281911872786482 or on the website forum here https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/feedback-and-suggestions/26

[placid plinth]

it's probably the hit flash transition bug. Where they were getting hit right as they transitioned and the hit flash glow persists. You can turn hit flash off in the settings to fix this if you want. We are also going to fix it.

[bright seal]

Hi devs, wondering I'm if the rose bloom talent for eterras blessing procs from the thicket of thorns passive. As well as if the summoned totem from ancestral renewal in eterras blessing is the same healing totem as spriggan form to inherit from those nodes?

[crude plover]

No, rosebloom specifically states it only works on direct casts, as in you directly casting thorn shield by pressing thorn shield on your hotbar

[bright seal]

Thanks! any idea about the totem? The icon is different but the link online takes you to the spriggan form totem

[crude plover]

Nevermind it's apparently not the same, but idk if I believe that, better wait for mike or someone who knows better's response :P

But according to LE tools they're two different skills that share the same name, so if they're not the same there should maybe be some wording changes

[bright seal]

Yeah when I clicked the first one the link inside for summon: 1x healing totem redirected to the spriggan version so I want sure if maybe it was a bit like a passthrough. Because you can spec that but not have spriggan form at all so maybe that's a different totem compared to specced into spriggan

[timid fjord]

I've asked about this before, it is intended that they are different

[winter hearth]

Will do that Mike thanks for the heads-up, much appreciated.

[bright seal]

It seems that the heal totem nodes in spriggan form use the same icon tooltip as is listed for eterras blessing. But I just double checked and confirmed confirmed that they don't inherit. Seems there should be some sort of clear notice since everything in game would appear they should inherit

[knotty quartz]

It would usually say in the advanced tooltip text if it does inherit from something

[bright seal]

The advance tooltip for spriggan form totem inherits from thorn totem is the same icon and tooltip as eterras from what I can tell. It's all the exact same. the way it's listed in game it it should be inherited

[sturdy ridge]

Not sure if it was reported as a bug already which is why I am asking here if you have been told about abomination sliding on the map?

[umbral scarab]

When using the Skeleton Mage skill with the Pyromancer + Cryomancer nodes selected is there any prioritization of one mage type being summoned over another without either of the nodes that restrict the skill intentionaly to one type? Should it be an equal chance for each of the 3 types (Necrotic, Fire, Cold)?

[placid plinth]

Not sure, please just report it without checking here first.

[placid plinth]

It will automatically spread it out and you can't force it to focus on one without removing the others.

[sturdy ridge]

ahh

which section of the bug report do I put it in?

[placid plinth]

Just use your best judgement, we frequently adjust them anyways.

[sturdy ridge]

I put it under Bug Report - Skills acolyte

[rapid cloak]

are uber drops affected by corruption? Not the boss (hp,dmg). Or maybe are the non uber drops that u get affected by it?

[pine chasm]

No, none of it is affected. Same as normal Aberroth.

[final night]

If I disable a Solo Charcter Found challenge, what happens to my crafting materials on that character? Do they get deleted? Or will they go to SAF stash? Or will a new SCF character get access to them?

[placid plinth]

I'm second guessing myself on this hard. I'm pretty sure that they just vanish. I know they used to but I'm not sure if someone fixed that or not. For a long time all the SCF stuff just sat there and you left it behind, this meant that if you remade the character with the same name, it would actually pick the stash (and crafting materials) back up again on the new SCF character. When we added factions, we added a bunch of merging systems for stashes when abandoning challenges so that you could still equip your stuff. Since the crafting materials don't sit in a limited space stash (like your normal stash items do), it is possible that they could merge over like faction ranks do.

This is fairly easy to test though as you could make a new SCF character and play until you get any piece of crafting material and then abandon the challenge and see what happens to it.

I think there is also a big popup warning message when you're about to abandon it which warns you of all the things that will be lost.

[final night]

Thanks for the in depth response. I will try out the test tomorrow.

[azure jasper]

Hey mike, question about affix design. Why didnt we get “Added **Element/Adaptive ** Spell damage” (flat) just as we have them for melee or throwing? Sometimes it just feels weird to see spell flat sources being so exclusive or depended in comparison to other attack types

[crude plover]

Tbf generic added melee damage just barely exists as well, it's only on a Weaver idol affix, the only skill type that really has generic added damage is throwing and that's because it doesn't benefit from the adaptive damage on weapon implicits, while spells and melee do

[pine dome]

I think they are after "why is there Flat Melee avaible as a Prefix for all the melee weapon when Flat Spell isn't for caster weapon?"

And iirc the answer to that is

• to have a different build path for Melees and Spells skills
• so melee skill have very little base dmg, Spell skill have much higher base dmg (same for throwing weapon). And usually a bit more Dmg Effectiveness

[crude plover]

It's also because spells actually have a base damage while melee attacks don't really, even something like erasing strike has a base damage of 2 while a comparable spell like meteor has a base damage of 190

[azure jasper]

but thats my point, why do spell skills come with strong flat while other melee skills dont and we have to compensate with affix on weapon for example

[pine dome]

To have a difference between building for a Melee Attack and a Spell

[crude plover]

I think it's also thematic, you "attack" with your weapon, it makes sense that the majority of base damage for said attack comes from the weapon, while for spells the weapon just empowers them but it's not what's actually hitting the enemy. Obviously ehg can do whatever they want though lul

[radiant tangle]

Dev, question: Time to time I had like 100+ ms latency on my local server location on the menu. and when I joined it says I'm not connected.

[crude plover]

Sorry this channel specifically isn't for bugs/support issues. Sounds like either a VPN or routing issue to me though, if it's something that keeps happening you can report it via the in-game bug report menu by pressing F8 and contact support to see if they might be able to help, there's also this thread in the FAQ that might be of help #1230894608406413412 message

[slow linden]

Hello, is it possible to apply more than 100% of armor mitigation to dots (with profane veil + item affixes) ?

[crude plover]

Capped at 100%

[timid fjord]

When armour gets transferred to dots does it use the lowered number for non-phys dots and does it have the same 85% mitigation cap?

[crude plover]

None physical dots get mitigated less iirc

Good morning Mike

[placid plinth]

👋

[desert sleet]

New SCF characters will not get access to another SCF disabled character's stash as an SCF character's stash is specific to that character. It will be like a season rollover, but instead of season stash to legacy stash it would be SCF character stash to SAF stash. After disabling a SCF challenge, when you log into a SAF character in the same season, there would be a dropdown in the stash with the SCF character's name which you can select and then click the merge button to move your SCF character's stash data over.

e.g. for this screenshot:

• I created a season 2 SCF character named SCF_Character_A
• I looted some glyphs and runes
• I disabled the SCF challenge
• I logged back into a season 2 SAF character (could be SCF_Character_A or another season 2 non-SCF character)
• My stash had SCF_Character_A in the dropdown and when accessing it, I can merge that stash data into the season 2 SAF stash

[thorny flint]

First half of the question: How do you guys realistically see Uber Aberroth? I think the missing piece in ARPGs is actually hard content that you need to figure out. It feels so good working towards something in terms of both gear and strategy. Which, Uberroth...should...be(?), but because builds get so obnoxious, any challenge would be overcome so fast.

The other half: and so, have you considered creating an instance where you're debuffed in some way, to make sure you can't just trample these hard bosses? Or something along the lines, to prevent degeneracy. It feels bad to have to tune those bosses around crazy builds, because they make any other semi-decent build irrelevant.

[lapis yew]

Salutations Dev's. I first want to thank all of you for creating such a fantastic season. I do have one last question before I part ways for the season. Is there a cap on DPS if someone goes over a certain number? If you are wondering about the reasoning for this question, here is the answer. I was messing around with the arena and realized that there is an arena leaderboard. As I was curious to what everyone else is doing with their gear I started looking at different set ups. I realized that many of them have built significantly more defensively than I have. They didn't have the Increases, Crit multipliers, elemental penetration or shred that I had. Mathematically, my dps should have been far superior seeing as I sacrificed defense for even more dps. This is how I started to fall under the belief that there must be a dps cap.

[crude plover]

There is a technical cap but nothing you'll ever reach, we're talking in the billions per hit/tick if not higher (unsure if the backend limit is a float but the UI display limit seems to be 32 bit int)

The reason they build defensive is because damage is extremely available to us when it comes to killing normal enemies in this game

It's easy to kill white and rare mobs with little damage investment, the hard part becomes surviving the fairly insane damage enemies start dealing

Dying once means the run is over, you can't afford being a glass Cannon.

We can deal millions of damage pretty easily but we can't get millions of ehp pretty much ever

[lapis yew]

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond. Maybe it has to do with the unique monsters themselves along with the bosses. I have yet to take down normal Abboroth do to the lack of dps that I was dealing. I took the "kill everything before they kill you" approach. It could also be my skill choice wasn't suitable for the content also. I find the uniques in the monoliths at around 250-300 corruption seem to be extremely tanky themselves. Anyway, thank you all for the new season and I am looking forward to the next season. Thank you.

[crude plover]

Yeah the arena meta is pretty different from what's good in normal gameplay, don't use the arena leaderboard like Poe ninja to try and copy off them, you'll end up with a worse build for most content. Their characters are built specifically for arena pushing usually.

[placid plinth]

Which is one of the main reasons we are looking into making new ladders for different content.

[crude plover]

Dungeon clear time is the best metric

[knotty quartz]

I see ward gained on block in character sheet but I do not see how to get it. I checked LEtools and couldn't find anything. Is there any items in-game with this? All I see is health gained on block

[timid fjord]

glacial reinforcement node on mage's flame ward skill tree, paladin's holy aura skill's against the odds node in skill tree

[knotty quartz]

thank you

[final night]

Oh wow ok, never would've guessed it worked that way. This clears up a lot of confusion, thank you for the in depth response.

[regal stratus]

Any chance for an endless arena overhaul for S3? It took me over 5 hours to get rank1 this season - this is just a test of endurance at this point (and not the kind that's capped at 60%). Even just adding champions or other hard things to overwhelm your character would be an improvement.

[placid plinth]

very unlikely for S3 as all the major changes have been slated and that's not on the list

[eternal zinc]

Want to learn something about co-op in le.
Me and my friend in different regions, Asia and NA. I know I must add a friend in the server they selected, and the difference on ping of Asia and NA is huge because I'm in Asia.

So will the huge difference on pings influence the experience like the server is disconnected suddenly, loading time in a map is quite long even be stuck here?

[placid plinth]

It doesn't matter which servers you selected. The friend list and chat work cross region. Characters can move cross region on the fly without logging out.

Whoever the party leader is will dictate the region used.

It is possible that you might experience more disconnects or have worse ping in game. Load times are largely unaffected. You might see a few extra milliseconds of load time but for the most part that should be the same as loading isn't really about sending information back and forth with the server and more just the time it takes for the server to load the scene.

[eternal zinc]

Load times are largely unaffected because server isn't the media about sending information back but the server is for loading the scene, aren't they conflicted each other?....

(okey my confusion is what role the server act in co-op experience)

[placid plinth]

The server isn't sending the visual files to the client. The server will send a single string of information which tells the client what visuals to load but it doesn't need to tell the client what those visuals actually are because those are in the game files which are loaded on your computer.

The server plays the exact same role in single player online as coop online.

[eternal zinc]

which influence high ping will bring in single player online and co-op online?

(It'll let me can't move or laggy in the movement and combat in poe, not sure le)

[tulip ivy]

If I’m not mistaken (I’d welcome the actual answer) the string of information that the server sends to the client, can be broken due to high ping, which will cause stutters, laggy movement etc.

[placid plinth]

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

[crude plover]

Ping is not how good* or fast your connection is, it's simply how long it takes for your computer to get a response from the game server, although it can affect connection stability sometimes. So if you have 100 ping it'll take 0.1 seconds to get a response back from the server after an action has been registered on your client.

As far as I know LE uses somewhat predictive networking so even at high ping it usually won't feel like there's a very big delay, but you might experience some rubber banding and things like that because your client can sometimes predict things wrong and then snap back to what really happened from time to time.

For co-op it basically doesn't make a difference unless you have to be super coordinated with your party for some reason. Usually you'll want to pick the server in-between everyone in the party so that instead of one person having something like 200 ping(bad) and the other 10(really good), both can have 100 ping(medium).

Not sure if that's the answer you're looking for.

[eternal zinc]

make sense, it's like me and Mike, Mike can't understand my questions and I can't understand his answers sometimes
(Rubber banding is perfect to describe this case. I'll go back even I don't want to go back)

[dawn rune]

Hope we got some serious juice for the steam today. 👀

[deep pendant]

will there be historically accurate feathered dinosaurs?

[sturdy ridge]

I want to know who that archer is

[dawn rune]

Yup, called it 😆

[silk linden]

Quick question, are you guys going to be adding more special effects for skills? They are my favorite thing to purchase 😄

[placid plinth]

doesn't the raptor already have a bunch of feathers?

[placid plinth]

Yes, more cosmetic vfx options will come with each new major update.

[deep pendant]

aha i forgot about those feathers! good work

[dawn rune]

Feather drops?

[serene mango]

Rip your stream with trailer questions today

[crude plover]

Wasn't it gonna be someone else this stream?

[placid plinth]

(this is not new btw)

[fringe oar]

we need a system of achievements and season rewards, although I love the game and I have almost 500 hours of gameplay there is practically no incentive to play each new season.

[placid plinth]

no, I've got 1 more then I'm out for 2 in a row (but we might skip 4th of july)

[crude plover]

ah! woooooooo

[sturdy ridge]

Do you have set dates for the next series of podcasts?

[placid plinth]

not yet

[dawn rune]

So the image of all the body parts on the mob released on steam is a complete list of items we can get from the new mob?

[crude plover]

Most likely no

[eternal zinc]

Maybe the feather will represent something because it have appeared 2 times so far, in dev stream and in the teaser.

[dawn rune]

It seems to be some kind of crafting currency dropped by the lizard like mob Mike showed off on steam a few streams ago.

All speculation obviously

[crude plover]

Let's not torture Mike with questions he can't answer and speculate in #💬┃general please :P

[eternal zinc]

I want to know will any new wand/staff/sceptres live in 1.3 and will they under honey version or can we enhance them by honey 🤔

[crude plover]

You won't get an answer to that, you'll just have to wait and see ^^

[eternal zinc]

weaver contents are saved. Will they have a update in 1.3? I mean imprint system.

[crude plover]

We don't know, and you won't get an answer to that here. You won't get any answers for anything that hasn't already been revealed

otherwise everyone would ask everything :P

[floral patrol]

I just wanted to give my kudos to the team, that's all

[eternal zinc]

How tombs and cemeteries performance in game as "procedural" side zones? I want to how EHG define "procedural".

[crude plover]

They're procedural in that they don't have the same layout each time, they use tilesets and semi randomly create a new layout each time. So two different cemeteries won't have the same layout. All echoes and even the dungeons have the exact same map every time you do them, tombs and cemeteries are the first content that don't

[magic barn]

I have item total block chance of about 50% but my character window shows a block chance of 0%. Any reason for that?

[crude plover]

what mastery are you

falconer?

If so make sure you don't have 5 or more points in "Deflect and weave"

[marble socket]

Is today dev strem confirmed?

[crude plover]

yep

[gentle maple]

Ct program step1
Disable trading so people wont rmt in the first day and reach end game in second day when season start~

[crude plover]

People need to get items naturally to be able to sell them even if it's through rmt. Trading has pretty much 0 impact on how fast the first people get to endgame

[fossil dune]

COF players casually running from zero to 1k+ in under 24 hours

[gentle maple]

most content creator rmt the first day, cuz they wana post their build real fast to get views, season game poe diablo LE all the same

[crude plover]

This is provably false

If you want to keep discussing this please move it to #💬┃general or another appropriate channel, and if you want something to change please post it in the #1210282176680169562 , this isn't the channel for this topic

[gentle maple]

work at cyber many years it happening since poe season 1, saw it live

[crude plover]

I'm unsure about Poe but I can assure you that in Le people don't explore new content faster because of trade. It's just simply not true, ranking up MG alone takes too long

[fossil dune]

I keep tabs on the first few days of PoE leagues pretty zealously, I can promise you the CCs aren't RMTing because I tend to end up trading items with them a lot early on.

[gentle maple]

happen at my work place, just let u guys know what happen outside, good luck

That’s what it ended up being

[mossy adder]

Oh man I was just thinking about making a similar build like an hour ago

[cursive sparrow]

will we get all op uncapped nodes capped/nerfed? every season same things breaks the game and then ehg has no nerf policy

[harsh sky]

Bit connected to Misha's question - how much mastery balancing are we expecting in season 3? Will we be seeing a major overhaul to bring more builds to similar levels, or will most builds stay similar to season 2? (I guess, not including acolyte masteries as I suppose they would see major reworks)

[simple dagger]

Are you absolutely sure Mana Arc converts to cold? I'm not sure if I can see any difference in Mana Arc graphics before and after taking the Mana Strike cold conversion node.

[simple dagger]

Alright, I equipped Stormtide, which gives my lightning skills a chance to shock, then attacked the training dummy. And I see no shock stacks on the dummy, so I guess Mana Arc does indeed get converted to cold? Still, the graphics look kind of still like lightning.

[bright python]

not sure if this had been asked. but any chance Last epoch will be available on switch?

[pine dome]

They want to move to console
Which one and when is it TBD
And don't expect it soon

[placid plinth]

We are working hard to bring the really over powered nodes into reality. Doesn't mean all strong nodes will get nerfed.

Oh, and we clearly do not have a no nerf policy.

[placid plinth]

Widespread overhauls would be overly ambitious. It will mostly be focused on select masteries with changes everywhere.

[placid plinth]

No, I'm not absolutely certain. I checked the code and it has the code to do so but it could be bugged. The VFX might not actually change much. The easiest way to tell would be to look at the hit VFX on a training dummy.

[rigid cargo]

Have the devs ever added the option to let wasd movement players dodge in the direction of wasd button input while also letting movement abilities move towards the direction of the cursor yet? Strongly dislike how I seemingly have to do either or for everything.

[flint bloom]

If you want to suggest a feature, #1210282176680169562 is the place to go.

[void solar]

Try setting "Keyboard Movement - Movement Abilities" to "Short Range - Follows Movement". That will make your shorter range movements like Evade go in the direction your character is facing while the longer range movement Skills such as Teleport, Transplant, Fury Leap, Lunge, etc go to your cursor.

If that doesn't do what you want, let the devs know that you would like that feature by posting into one of the existing categories here
#1210282176680169562 or here #1210281911872786482 or on the website forum here https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/feedback-and-suggestions/26

[void solar]

Note that Skills that say "Short Range" on them such as Shift and Void Cleave will still go in the direction your character is facing with "Short Range - Follows Movement" turned on.

Example for Shift showing Short Range

[rigid cargo]

But...why are those two abilities exempt from the rule? Yeah, I guess the issue is that I'm referring to the "shift" ability in specific. So I'll go suggest that I guess. Thanks.

[pulsar heath]

Does EHG consider skill and passive bugs to be a serious issue that directly affects players and should be fixed promptly?
I’ve been browsing the bug report channels for skills and passives, and I’ve seen a lot of bugs that have been reported as existing for a long time without being fixed — the same goes for the forums.

[void solar]

It's every Skill that says Short Range on them, those were just two examples. Things like Primalist's Swarmblade Form Dive Skill and Acolyte's Reaper Form Reap Skill also have Short Range tags. There's a bunch of them.

Yes, post in the suggestions or feedback if you'd like a different feature or option.

[flint bloom]

Entirely depends on the situation. There are definately different levels of seriousness and importance.

As an example, a bug with a Skill that causes server instability/crashes tends to get priority.

[rigid cargo]

Ok yeah I didn't know that, but if there's a bunch of them then why is there a lack of choice between how I want them to work? Idk sorry for frustration, just seems very obvious to me, almost like something that shouldn't have ever been a thing to begin with. I'll tab it in the suggestions.

[void solar]

The WASD movement is an experimental feature that was added in the 1.2 update. The Keyboard Movement option I mentioned was added more recently as the devs are still working on it. Give them suggestions/feedback on what you'd like to see in the previously mentioned channels. The devs do read those channels.

[rigid cargo]

Speaking of, maybe you can help me on this other question I had, and whether or not it has been fixed or if I should continue to suggest it in the suggestion forum.

If I'm using controller, is there any way in-game to bind my X button (PS4 controller)? I tried to bind my evade button to X and it just...wasn't working? Is the X button just hard stuck bound?

[void solar]

If the in game settings aren't letting you set the controller the way you want, try using the Steam Controller mapping. Press Shift + Tab to bring up Steam Overlay. In the bottom middle of the screen, push the icon button that looks like a controller. Then push Edit Layout.

But yes, that also sounds like it's something for the suggestion/feedback sections if it doesn't let you change it the way you want.

Are you able to check the VFX asset files of Mana Arc before and after conversion? I'm still leveling my current character so I can't respec and compare them easily. If there's supposed to be a very obvious visual difference, the VFX might be bugged. The conversion works mechanically at least, since it doesn't inflict shock when I had a shock chance on lightning skill hit.

[placid plinth]

Just make a bug report for it and we will sort it out.

[placid plinth]

Yes, however there are many reasons why a bug might not be fixed quickly. Some of those reasons can include that it is not a bug with functionality but the wording is wrong and it gets a low priority or maybe it is something we don't know how to fix yet so we put logs into the game to find it. Or maybe we can't reproduce it from the report information so we are waiting for more varied reports. Or maybe we fixed one cause of it but there are multiple. There are more reasons but those are some of the more common ones.

[pine chasm]

When you change wording, do you always change the localizations at the same time? Otherwise, I'd think fixing the words would take very little time/effort and can have a fairly large impact. Is there some other thing that makes these low priority?

[placid plinth]

Yes, we change all the localizations at once. It's a good and bad thing but we've developed a lot of processes that every change goes through. Each bug fix gets documented, triaged, repro steps, development, testing, more fixing maybe, integration build validation and regression testing.

So to make one little change to say the damage of a spell, the dev time involved to actually make the change is a few seconds but the whole process to bring it to a build takes many many times longer.

Because we have hundreds of things on the to-do list, we try to bundle similar items together to save overall time. It's all about getting the most updates, fixes and changes in. If we were to take each one individually and just push out changes, we would see short term increase in fixes but a grand total of fixes would decrease. This way we end up with a better overall game.

I'm not sure which specific bugs this is about but it is also possible that some just slipped through the cracks.

[pine chasm]

Ah, yeah fair enough. I'm not thinking about any bugs in particular, just from my experience on the user side reporting bugs I feel like typically they get fixed in 1-2 patches, but wording issues feel like they take a lot longer - and my perception is probably skewed a bit because of the batching thing. Thank you, as always!

[final cave]

Probably skewed by how long some wording issues have been in the game (e.g. issues reported in 0.8.5 or earlier that persist today).

Do EhG have reporting on bug fix by type? If so, I assume that is something unlikely to be shared publicly? Could be good for a monthly/ insider blog 🙂

[kindred night]

on the topic of "infinitely scaling nodes", are you planning to implement more softcaps/diminishing returns on scalers (like recurve chance for heartseeker) as opposed to hard caps like what you did you static orb's mana nodes or ring of the third eye?

[eternal zinc]

A deep familiarity with Diablo II. Not just playing it, but understanding what makes its world, art, and systems so enduring

Is it one of requirements for members in EHG before 2018?

[eternal zinc]

🎉 Congras to 1.3 teaser is on trending page of 小黑盒 by the way.

[ashen summit]

I forgot which dev said it but during the pre season 2 interviews someone mentioned that map layouts will change to make playing with WASD smoother. I was wondering if this is still planned, will the layout improvements be all at once or will it be like the many campaign improvements you all have made over the years where they get added throughout the life cycle of the game (most recent example being the change to The Great College/Ruined college layout. thank you for all those improvements over the years btw)

[placid plinth]

That sounds like something we would have put in the "bonus" section of the job description.

[placid plinth]

Probably slightly more but it's not a hard rule, each situation calls for a different bespoke solution.

[eternal zinc]

why dancing stikes is the exclusive skill of bladedancer?

(Or which rules are EHG followed to decide which skills are exlsuive skills for these masteries from rogue?)

[marble socket]

Regarding the Pause function, have you considered applying a paralyzing ailment to all enemies on the map?

If I'm talking nonsense, please disregard it. 😂

Hi, I've uncovered a weird interaction that I'm unsure if is a bug or intended.

The skill "Black Hole" has a node called "Binary System" which makes it deal both fire and cold damage. The node is locked behind a fire-conversion node. The skill does not gain the cold-tag after leveling "Binary System", essentially making it a skill that deals cold damage, but without the cold-tag.

[rich basin]

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

[pine chasm]

That node does not actually make it deal cold damage. Pretty sure it's still bugged: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[crude plover]

Yeah hopefully it'll be changed/fixed

Morning! What's the max number of characters for online mode?

[crude plover]

25 iirc

Says at the bottom of the character list

[formal quail]

Sorry if this is not the right chat to be asking this, but will 6 player parties ever be a thing? After a certain other game implemented it and fumbled, I wonder if that's something you guys are looking towards or considered. Once again, sorry if this is not the right chat but its been a burning question I had for a while.

[crude plover]

Don't worry it's the right channel. They don't have any announced plans on increasing party size to 6 currently but if it's something that you'd like to see feel free to post it in the #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

We don't have set rules. We analyze each individually and decide. In this case, it is a thematically appropriate melee ability that ties the fantasy together as soon as you unlock the mastery.

[placid plinth]

We struggle with performance with too many players. Especially if each is using a particularly heavy build. 4 is already a stretch in some situations. If there is a large leap forward in this category, it is possible that we might make changes to the limit but have no plans to at this time.

[formal quail]

Thank you for the quick reply, I might end up making a post on the suggestion forums just to gauge people's interest, Thanks again.

[crude plover]

Do damage conversion nodes automatically apply to the mutator for subskills automatically or is it something you guys do on a case by case basis?

[placid plinth]

Have to do manually for each one. Especially frustrating when it goes through several layers like a transform that makes a minion.

[crude plover]

Hah, conversion for shadow daggers based on skills that applied the ailment when

[keen juniper]

is cosmetics for shapeshifts comming soon maybe next patch?

[crude plover]

Probably not next season. But maybe the one after that according to the old roadmap. But we simply don't know yet.

(You won't get them to announce something they haven't already in this channel)

[robust fractal]

Will void supremacy node from abyssal echoes (more damage for next void cleave to slowed enemies) increase the damage for ravaging aura created by void cleave?

[crude plover]

No

[robust fractal]

Another one: if void bolts from volatile reversal are replaced with abyssal echoes does the increased dot taken from time rifts still apply?

Or do only the bolts themselves apply the dot taken

[crude plover]

From wording I don't think it'd work, I'll try to double check
