If the increased poison damage from the idol affix shows up on your character sheet lethal concentration should have your skelletons inherit it. "feel" is a pretty bad way of testing things. I'd go to the dummies by the arena and try doing a more thorough test there

I'll see if I can test it real quick

[quasi shale]

Apologies, When i meant "Feel" I was at the dummies and my poison ticks were 1.3 mill ish. Since they go by so fast and there are SOOO many other numbers in there i wasnt able to get an Exact number. So that is why i said "Feel". When i swap out an idol that should give approx the same boost i do 1.5 mill ticks.

[strange shoal]

Do the omen idol layouts with 3+ omen idol stats only drop from a specific tier omen window?

[flint bloom]

nah, just rng

but getting +3 i think is exalted

so thats gonna be rare rare

[crude plover]

I am seeing an increase when testing but yeah it seems a bit low honestly. but like with the affix in general not with the altar bonus

Yeah altar bonus is working fine actually

[quasi shale]

Ok, so you think something could be going on with the Affix boost then?

[crude plover]

I suspect something is going on with lethal concentration itself but honestly I'm not sure, would need to do further testing and stuff

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

wait nevermind I think everything might actually be in order

[hearty widget]

Monster Dot damage is wack this league

[crude plover]

Make sure you resummon all your skellies when you have aura of decay up

seems there might be some snapshotting shennanigans

yep

they snapshot the increased damage at time of spawn

[fading knot]

I feel like I've been experiencing this as well. It feels like beginning a new zone can remove the damage boosts for aura of decay and dread shade. But idk which is why I haven't said anything

[crude plover]

I could see it practically resummoning your minions and if you don't have all your buffs up when swapping instance it might snapshot them without the buffs. I'd say that's basically just a consequence of snapshotting though and isn't really a bug

(if you don't consider snapshotting a bug)

Minions are by far my weakest point of knowledge in this game though so honestly take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt

I've literally never played a minion build in any arpg ever lmao

[quasi shale]

no you are right, i think there is snapshotting going on. Just sucks it seems to happen when i zone out and back in. When i zone into the arena, im doing 1.3m rarely 1.4m. with aura and dread activated after zoning in.

When i resummon all the minions with Aura and dread up im seeing 1.6-1.7m ticks

When i zone to the bazaar and come back im doing 1.3m again

[crude plover]

Yep that seems about right damage increase wise, since the increased damage bonus is additive with all your other sources of increased damage for them

so while it might be a few hundred % increased damage you're likely well over 1000% total increased damage already

[hearty widget]

Why does loot despawn if you respawn - loot spawns outside in echo room - you go back in to your teammate to shatter omen - then go back outside - and now all the loot is gone , this is bad design.

[crude plover]

Because otherwise loot would keep piling up until you have like 5000x items just sitting there and your game lags out

[quasi shale]

So would i need to resummon them every mono? or just when i leave monos?

[crude plover]

This shouldn't be a problem in echoes, since you don't ever actually change instance and as such I don't think your minions would ever get artificially resummoned (this is why we don't have a loading screen when teleporting out of an echo btw, your character is just moved really far away to that little island :P)

[hearty widget]

then limit it to like 200 items, not 20 , bad design. GG

[quasi shale]

Perfect, Thank you Cyborgwars! I appreciate you looking into this for me.

[stark summit]

is there any consideration on a way to skip the RP from normal abby after your first kill of it? each season we get to the point of having to do abby for eternitys but the RP takes longer then killing abby. i know many players have submitted feedback about this so curious if you have thought about possible solutions or if this is how you plan to keep it?

[drowsy sierra]

once I have rhythm and wealth lens, should I use my third slot to target a specific item or get rid of dungeon prophecies? (I skip dungeons, arenas, etc...)

[fervent girder]

I usually use the one that forces all events to be in monolith,thay being said if I want something specific I will buy the appropriate lens of that type so I can target them

Usually prophecies on dungeons and arenas are bad for things like items and okish for things like idols and runes

[drowsy sierra]

focusing lens of time?

okay

[fervent girder]

Yep that one

[fervent girder]

Prophecies are like items dropped ,since items scale with corruption to a degree,doing them in monos where you have high corruption should net you better lp items than if you do them in dungeons,always rng but its better

[final cave]

Hey team. The reduction in imprint chances this season has led to some significant feedback. I suspect the imprints were never supposed to be as powerful as they were in S3 (not sure if confirmed). It begs the question- was this something that the team considered patching earlier? Why did you come this particular decision to patch in S4 release? 🙂

[chilly gust]

If I have BladeWeaver and recast shatter strike through its trees, would the stacks apply to the recast or just the initial cast?

[sturdy ridge]

Question : can you have two spriggans or no?

[timid fjord]

yes but only with the spriggan form node that summons second one while you are in the form.
outside of that there isnt anything that allows summoning extra ones

[sturdy ridge]

ah cool thank you

[rough loom]

Have the devs considered adding some determinism to altar boards?

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

[vast arch]

Spellblade 40% of melee flat damage applies to spell damage. Not working with elemental damage? Noticed my spell blade didn't get any spelldmg from flat T7 fire dmg, tested with cold and even void and necrotic too.

Is it intended to be like that(terrible) or its an oversight/bug that its only working ifor non-type flat damage?

[cosmic current]

For something like "cemetery pack size" on the weaver tree, is this applied when the cemetery is spawned on the echo web, when you enter the echo, or when you enter the cemetery?

[chilly gust]

I saw a whole reddit thread on this
Hope this isn't the case ...

[vast arch]

So it isn't just me, thats bad.

[timid fjord]

this is working for me. I used white nagasa scymitar with no affixes and then exalted version with +50 melee fire damage and both fireballs and lightning blasts damage went up.

[vast arch]

Weird, used the dawnblade and it didnt

[blissful cove]

any ETA on graveyard prison fix? been reported since day 1 that it was bugged :(

[manic crown]

Does the weaver set (amulet+ring) bonus apply for corrupted affixes on weaver weapons?

I'm trying to build a Bane of Winter spellblade and I had planned to use Wings of Argentus to capitalize on the spears final passive but my cold spell, Volcanic orb, is not benefitting. Is the passive supposed to only convert melee dmg on the spear itself?

[crude plover]

Wings of argentus doesn't grant added damage. I'm confused as to what it's supposed to benefit

If you're referring to the increased cold melee damage on it then Increased != Added

[crude plover]

Hi Mike, when you channel a skill you can continue channeling past 0 mana but stop eventually. Do you stop after a certain amount of time or is there a "negative mana limit" for channeling skills that once you hit instantly stops your channel? looks like it's a limit that's set per skill but is somehow affected by channel cost from some brief testing.

[foggy turret]

Why is Healing Hand cooldown 9.5 sec instead of 6 since 1.4 ?

[compact stream]

The node in Shatter Strike - Shatter Strike hits convert all stacks of ignite on enemies into frostbite.

Does the converted frostbite scale off of the hit that applies it (shatter strike scaling) or from the original ignite?

[crude plover]

yes, except not the hit itself

but the shatterstrike tree

Ailments in general don't skill off hits in LE

You wrote what yous servers are currently offline. They will come back online at 11 AM CDT on March 26th for the release of Season 4. True offline will continue to be available.

Correct, there was 24 hours of downtime before the launch of Season 4

[dreamy bramble]

There is my request mumber 76763

[plucky badge]

We can get it announced on those platforms, I'll chat with folks internally

[eternal zinc]

Hi Mike, how many percentage of players selected burning daggers from heartseeker and cinder strike as a marksman in sc, reach 300c?

I want to figure out why this build just get zero love in 1.4 even devs know where the issue is and new season have updated the other mastery in rogue, bladedancer.

CM keep asking me they can change nothing too because it's the team of gameplay designer's choice. Alright. I know I can change nothing, so I want to ask why

[dreamy bramble]

Also i made request for my account data

[placid plinth]

there is a per skill negative mana limit manually set for each channelling situation.

[placid plinth]

base cooldown is 0 and with movement I'm seeing 6 with no other modifiers

[placid plinth]

if you literally got nothing, as in didn't get the auto-reply at all then something likely went wrong in the submission process and we didn't actually get the ticket. If you did get the automated initial reply which outlines the pending ticket and reply, please wait for the support team to reply. (I can't look up ticket numbers)

[eternal zinc]

I want to know how designer's team think of this build & how marksman will going

[night raven]

i'm too dumb to figure this out,is the increased chance to be stunned from shock ailment additive or multiplicative with increased stun chance?

[placid plinth]

1.43% of marksman builds use heartseeker, cinder strike and take the blades of the pyre node. (of lvl 80+ that have hit empowered)

[crude plover]

@high estuary

[placid plinth]

2 increases to stun chance are additive

[eternal zinc]

what 1.43% mean? 1.43% in 100%?

[night raven]

thanks a bunch,i wasn't sure if they were 'cause one is technically on the mob and one is on my character

[crude plover]

1.43 out of 100 people playing marksman use those skills

[placid plinth]

I don't understand what is confusing about what I said, of all the characters who are marksman at lvl 80+ and in empowered, 1.43% use heartseeker, cinder strike and take the blades of the pyre node.

[eternal zinc]

.............

[flint bloom]

thats just how %'s work kirra.

[eternal zinc]

It's why EHG give up & no plans for updating this build?

[placid plinth]

ohhhh I understand what's going on now

hi kirra

[eternal zinc]

?...What's going on?

[placid plinth]

First off, a build's popularity is not directly proportional to it's power. A build which is slightly the best will be significantly more popular. Second, We didn't really do much to the build this season and people have played it a bunch recently. People often like to look for something new. There is a new bow skill available this season so people naturally gravitate towards that.

All those things combined push the usage of this build down a lot.

[placid plinth]

that might actually be multiplcative then

[high estuary]

Ohh I see, so, it is intended for warpath to stop channeling at some point?

[placid plinth]

yes, all channelling abilities have a minimum mana threshold where they stop channelling. Warpath will always stop at the same negative mana point. Depending on where you started from, you could go slightly over that if a single tick of mana cost is more than 1

[night raven]

it was already specificed in the shock section of the game guide,my fault for being lazy and only looking up the stun section,i appreciate the swift answer either way,i looked it up after while discussing in game chat

[eternal zinc]

why EHG didn't care this build at all when they preparing contents for 1.4?

[placid plinth]

why didn't we buff it? it was already a viable build

[crude plover]

The interaction in question is when you're making use of void well and the abyssal echoes node in warpath. you can sometimes cast abyssal echoes when below 25 mana resulting in your mana being below -10 before void well goes off, stopping your warpath even though you can sustain the mana with void well if it had kept going. Everything is working as intended but the result is a little jank

[harsh sky]

can you reset a nemesis/beast echo chain with a Vessel of Memory? (excluding the last in the chain that counts as a woven echo)

[high estuary]

Well, I am not happy to hear that because that makes the build much more clunkier than it should. 🙁

[placid plinth]

how else could it make sense to work?

[crude plover]

I made a feedback post for it, if you want it to change you should do the same <3 #feedback message

[crude plover]

If void well went off before the warpath negative mana check it wouldn't get interrupted for example

[placid plinth]

we can't predict that the mana is going to eventually work itself out

[placid plinth]

no idea sorry, I would be surprised

[eternal zinc]

I have sent my feedback that this build is bad at mana sustainability 6 months ago. It always go to negative mana. Burning daggers lack of more modifiers to scale damage too.

...CM don't send feedback about this build to the designer team?

[placid plinth]

I'm not actually even in the office today so I'm gonna slip out of here in a sec

[crude plover]

Well currently it goes like this:

• You're at lets say 20 mana
• your warpath casts abyssal echoes (35 mana cost)
• you're now at -15 mana with enough essences for void well
• Warpath sees you're at -15 and stops channeling (Because its limit is -10 from testing)
• void well sees you're at -15 and gives you mana back

If the last two events swapped place warpath wouldn't get interrupted. But this is all feedback which I've already made a post for, just wanted to clarify what we're talking about ^^

[placid plinth]

Just because we receive feedback about something, doesn't mean we will act on it. We get conflicting feedback all the time. It is impossible to act on all of the feedback we get because they often directly contradict each other. Everyting in #feedback gets catalogued and sent to the appropriate places.

and I've played that build and enjoyed it

[high estuary]

I think if I invest all my stats into max mana and I have void well, I should never ever stop spinning. That would make warpath truly a good build. Current iteration is not good. Many people agree on this one and we all would appreciate if you could change this

[harsh sky]

By the way, does EHG always put all fixed bugs on the patch notes? If I don't see it there since it was reported, is it safe to assume it hasn't been fixed.

[foggy hull]

Random question, anyone on the dev team read or was inspired by Shadow Slave? I don’t know why but everytime I’m in the Chain Isles maps from the Ancient Era from last league I just keep thinking about the Chained Isles from Shadow Slave. Its most like 10000% a coincidence though

[placid plinth]

sometimes one will sneak in without being patch noted but it's very rare

[eternal zinc]

yes it's the core why I'm confused it don't get any love in 1.4 because you suppose to feel the shortage of mana sustainability because you have played that.

[placid plinth]

sorry, no idea on that one. I was in the meeting for that and it didn't come up.

[eternal zinc]

Your skills are much more professional so you must feel issues I found more deeply.

what's going on now... EHG think this build is enough so they put it down?

[foggy hull]

Figured its kinda outta left field for a question lol

[placid plinth]

drop it in #suggestions if you'd like us to consider making a change

[high estuary]

Okay, thanks, will do!

[placid plinth]

the only way to change it is to change the thresholds for negative mana for both and I think that kinda breaks both individually.

[placid plinth]

I don't udnerstand the statement at all.
I don't have any information on potential future balance changes. If you want to see a change, please use #suggestions instead.

ok, insert <clerks, I'm not supposed to even be here today> meme, see ya

[eternal zinc]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1s1gb7u/comment/oc7a9xe/?context=3
Problems are listed clearly here even EHG forget what the statement is it. I thought Mike feel the same thing.

[harsh sky]

I think for the case of channeling spells specifically, having a separate guaranteed 1s grace period before terminating the channel could probably work (assuming checks are done in at least 1s intervals)

[eternal zinc]

The whole thing (the real statement) is... Just me feel it's not right and it need some love?

.......

[crude plover]

Yes that's been recieved. If you've posted in the proper channels you've done all you can for it to be changed

Thanks for giving me a new angle on how to treat this build.
Alright it's no issue at all...ok, fine

[burnt rivet]

so javelin when you turn it into seige barrage has weird targeting issue on controller where the enemies just dont get targeted even if you're facing them and they're in your face. im not sure if bug or skill issue on my part

[flint bloom]

if you encounter a bug, f8 to report it

[burnt rivet]

ok gotcha. because javelin siege barrage on controller the enemies just dont get highlighted for targeting for some reason

[eternal galleon]

I was wondering about why Set items have such limited corruption outcomes. My guess was a rarity thing, adding an exalted affix to a unique through corruption changes it to a legendary.

How would adding an affix to a set item change its rarity? Should set items ever have additional affixes? I assume those question would have come up when deciding on corruption outcomes for set items. Am I close at all or are there other reasons?

I've already put in the suggestion to let set item corruption add affixes btw, just asking about the limitations around set item design

[flint bloom]

set items just arent capable of getting affixes added to them. coded that way on purpose

and if you could, would entirely defeat the purpose of reforged items, and basically be an LP system which the devs dont want to give sets.

[heady latch]

Just want clarification so I understand correctly, "accursed feast" functionality with "Corrupted form", this essentially lets you not run out of leech stacks and leech is constantly applying for its full duration despite being capped on health at 50% correct?

Essentially a slayer ascendancy node from PoE 1 if you are familiar

[timid fjord]

yup thats exactly how it works

[dull breach]

Is there a way to target farm a specific champion for its affix or is it always 100% rng which one will appear?

[flint bloom]

always rng. but there are a few champion woven echoes that spawn a lot of champs in a smaller period of time that helps with the farming

[pine chasm]

Just to be very clear, the "slayer leech" is simply granted by corrupted form. Accursed feast doesn't enable or disable that functionality (although its inc leech rate does reduce the duration of your leech instances).

[crude plover]

(inc leech rate is kinda bad with corrupted form)

[dull breach]

Okay, thanks. So basically the only way to get more of the one I want is to maximise the number of champs I see

[flint bloom]

yup

[foggy turret]

Is Uber Aberroth considered as void creature for the 10% node in HH ?

[crude plover]

Doesn't seem like it. He has no special type

You can upload videos to your platform of choice and link it directly in your bug report using the in-game tool (F8)

[wooden bridge]

when doing unique prophecies, are the odds higher of getting a certain unique since theres no set items in the pool like with rune of ascendance

[crude plover]

Odds higher compared to what? If you mean a 5 unique item prophecy vs 5 runes of ascendance then yes

[wooden bridge]

yeah, so like 0.15 or whatever it is for red ring for rune, it would be higher for prophecy?

[crude plover]

Yes

[slender meadow]

What people are complaining about, though, isn't Warpath being interrupted, it's Void Well doing its job only half the time because of some wonky implementation that, let's be frank, is hard to justify other than by saying "we don't want Warpath to only stop when running out of both mana and void essences". Is that EHG's actual position on this matter?

[lunar isle]

Is there a max limit to bees? I seem to be capped at 43 normal bees. I'm able to summon more elementals but even with more idols it stays at 43 bees

[crude plover]

Void well works consistently. The issue is that warpath stops channeling at -10 mana so sometimes abyssal echoes makes you go below that if cast at low enough mana, stopping warpath before void well gives you the mana back. Everything is working as it should but it's an unfavourable interaction which is why I among others have made feedback and suggestions posts regarding it.

[crude plover]

There should be no cap. There have been builds that go above a hundred bees iirc

[lunar isle]

is it a visual bug then?

[crude plover]

I wouldn't know, too little information to go off. If you think you've found a bug please report it using the in game tool (F8)

[lunar isle]

i have 43 bees summoned and i have a +5 bees per 10 seconds idol in my inventory. if i equip it, no change to the number of bees summoned

[slender meadow]

My point being, and supporting your suggestion, stopping Warpath before allowing Void Well to restore mana, is a choice you make if your position is "I actually want Warpath to stop despite Void Well being mechanically designed to prevent exactly that"

[broken sparrow]

Question for the farsight turtle: Many say we differ here between random and non random drop. random drop has a chance to get LP, non-random drop will (for 100%) lose all LP. So my question is, can I get LP on a Boss Specific Unique for example Foot of the Mountain or World Splitter?

[crude plover]

Farsight turtle doesn't care if the unique is from a boss or not

[heady latch]

why can't sorc and acolyte or even primalist get %increased mana on their helmets? seems like a silly distinction

oh and body armours too

[sharp pivot]

I'm at 50 so more than 43 is definitely possible, are u waiting for 10 seconds after equipping

is your 50 stack all normal bees?

[timid pawn]

I know pausing the game isn’t an easy implementation (re: nemesis) but can we just stasis the character or something while nemesis windows are open? There’s gotta be something.

I’m in the part of the gameplay loop where I’m just blasting monos as fast as possible to find nemesis and conq towers and having to clear 2+ screens in any direction so I don’t get insta gibbed in 800c is exhausting tbh.

Or make it so when you take damage all the windows just instantly close…?

[lunar isle]

[stark summit]

Is there a bug with madness causing it to scale ballista damage? Why are people using madness in ballista builds? - On the surface it states that it just scales spell crit multi so I'm confused as to why so many people are scaling it in this build archetype.

[unique solar]

are converted ailment chances counted toward things that scale off ailment chance? Specifically, does Maehlin's Hubris converting bleed chance to ignite chance count toward Ignite Overload's more fire damage?

[crude plover]

If the conversion shows up on your character sheet then yes (pretty sure hubris does)

[heady latch]

Somebody said that % increased mana on body armours/helmets only rolls on rogue or sentinel bases, but if you slam them into a unique then only rogues and sentinels can use the legendary right?

Have any of the devs did uberroth (without offline cheat engine shenanigans)? I can't see how a developer tried this boss, gave him 5 different oneshots, all the ailments, multiple invulnerable phases, ground dots that tick at 2500 per hit and that god awful 20 laser beams last phase then continued to not tweak the numbers. Isn't the amount mechanics and huge HP already a challenge, why do we have to suffer with oneshots as well? Btw I killed him 2 times this season and hopped on an alt, half my deaths to him was the 2500 DoT tick or desync because I didn't get hit by the abilities on MY screen but game said that I did.

[vapid root]

Just curious why LE lacks any form of DLSS / framegen support.. I mean the game is struggling immensely and I would think this would at least help.. Any plans for this?

[chrome lagoon]

Since there exist arguments about the game, I am mostly unsure in how relevant are the different opinions and how they are formed. Mostly because I am very interested in which arguments count the most into the good old "player retention" discussion. This is a call for as many relevant and relevant-like statistics and maybe more player feedback in the form of surveys. This is a mix of asking for survey and survey data but also me preparing a potential suggestion for an integrated in-game player survey mechanic.
So, do we have a source of analytic data of how people are playing and maybe even enjoying the content that LE has?

[pine chasm]

1. Not sure
2. No
3. No

[pine chasm]

They consume 80% of chaos bolts' mana cost; chaos rip doesn't have a mana cost since it's not a skill, it is just a mana consumption effect same as seed of chaos.

@dev team has there been any talk to move away from relying on all sorc builds to use focus? having something that is pretty much mandatory feels bad anyone pushing corruption levels require to use it i have a huge dislike for the skill.

[harsh sky]

ah, so the recast would end up costing a lot more mana than the initial hit in this case 💀

[forest basalt]

Does the paladin passive node Alignment change what the bonus applies to based on the base, or final mana cost of the skill? For example, if a 15 cost skill was brought after items down to below 10, or raised above through a node like Shield Breaker?

[obsidian wolf]

Are Omen Idols in any way affected by the Idol Blessings? Or are they in a separate loot pool?

[placid plinth]

The amount it says on the tooltip is the amount it checks.

[placid plinth]

I think that it's expected for certain skills to become more mandatory as you push into the extreme values of corruption.

[weak ridge]

Are there any plans to add alternatives for mana sustain other than mana strike and focus?

[covert dirge]

Would holy aura and symbols of hope stack together, if multiple paladins had the same nodes in a party?

[placid plinth]

There are a lot of nodes which say damage for mana and they are all very tempting. If you take a lot of those, you need to have something in your action economy to restore mana. We have 2 (and a half) mana restoration specific abilities to take up action economy. If you can think of an interesting way to do a 3rd with a full skill tree that can go with it without stepping on the toes of the others, I'd love to read about it in #suggestions. I haven't seen any internal or external ideas to that which I think are very interesting personally.

[placid plinth]

no, one at a time.

[jaunty dune]

what if multiple paladins had different nodes in the same party? for example if one paladin had the void conversion and one didn't and they are standing next to a rogue, does the rogue get only fire damage? only void damage? some of both?

[placid plinth]

pretty sure it flicks back and forth, only one holy aura can apply to any one character at a time

the different nodes might actually persist but if 1 node is taken at different values then it flicks back and forth

[harsh sky]

Are rift beast drops (primordial mats, currency bones) affected by corruption? Are amber drops affected by corruption?

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

I think no? (not confident)

[daring ridge]

Don't you feel that pigeonholing every build into using these 2 skills is not an issue? i honestly feel mana generating play style is never really fun if anything all sorc skills should have in there tree a way to sustain mana by spending points etc and just remove generators from the sorc in general it's never fun as seen by many other games don't seem to have these issues that last epoch has when it comes to mana and it's not a fun issue to have i might add.

[placid plinth]

I have no idea how to answer a double negative question where I don't agree with you at all so I'm not even going to try.

The balance alternative you're effectively asking for is to scale back/remove the damage for mana nodes.

[daring ridge]

I'm guessing your talking about the mana regen nodes? which arent enough to sustain a meteor build as an example and i'm sure you have the stats at hand to notice they all use focus for good reason.

[placid plinth]

No, there are lots of nodes that effectively say "do more damage, pay more mana". Most builds I see take as many of these as possible. If fewer were available, focus wouldn't be necessary.

[daring ridge]

ahh i understand what you meant now but wouldn't that put me in the position of not having enough dmg since i wont take the nodes aka im limited in the content i can do?

also i still believe you shouldn't have 1 or 2 skills dictating all the sorcs builds as the only way to play to do any decent amount of corruption with a sorc sorry if it feels like we are going in circles here.

Looking just at the sorc ladder they all pretty much use focus or mana strike if anything those numbers are telling.

[placid plinth]

but you would have more time to cast more offensive spells, thus doing more damage

I'm not on the balancing team for season 5 so if you're looking for things to change, write up what you're looking for in #suggestions and it will be taken into consideration

[timid fjord]

Do you have way to see what is the highest weavers will item someone has or would them changing into legendary affixes make that difficult?
I'm interested to know if someone has picked up 28 WW item or close to it.

[placid plinth]

I don't have easy access to that data sorry

[minor relic]

This got buried but it's been an absolute nightmare attempting to test in game so gonna ask again:

How do the unvar unique idols interact with more than 100 intelligence and/or multiple of the idol equipped. Assuming the chances can go beyond 100% is the 11% more damage on rise additive or multiplicative with itself?

[broken sable]

i have 100 shred stacks on enemy , it is 77% more phys dmg taken , if i get let's say 100% increased shred effect , i will get 77+77=154% inc phys dmg taken ? or it is still cant go over cap shred (85%) and i just +9% and it looks like wasted stat

[flint bloom]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

this will show you all the things about armor shred and effect

but in your scenario, it is indeed wasted

[crude plover]

Shred effects affects the amount of armour your shred stacks reduce the enemy by, so it still can't go past the 85% asymptote

[placid plinth]

100% and 10000000% are exactly the same

[minor relic]

rip, ty for answer.

[last hemlock]

would nodes that increase shrapnel damage in Meteor skill tree affect shrapnel created by volcanic orb?

[placid plinth]

no

[heady latch]

Devs question. stat stacking in poe is one of my fav end game sinks, is there any thought in potentially adding mods that are %increased intelligence, % increased attributes etc? In POE those mods are extremely difficult to craft onto the right base + other useful mods, usually on bases that give % increased mod magnitudes (to amp scaling and the bases are very rare themselves (possibly a rare chase unique idea for LE??))?

Just a thought, could be cool. But didn't know if there was ever a discussion and it was talked about and decided against vs never being considered?

[manic crown]

Bump

[languid light]

Balancing that aspect of the stat% items would be an interesting challenge

[pine dome]

I am going to stop the convo here

And move it to #💬┃general so it doesnt clutter here

Thx you guys

❤️

[weary dome]

Is the nemesis egg scaled from corruption?
Like higher corruption = higher chance of adding LP?

Also kind of curious if farsight turtle crafting system also scales from corruption

[crude plover]

no and no

Neither scale with corruption

[fallen cove]

does the Plentiful Windows node on the weaver tree increase the spawn rate of both omen echo chain and the omen champion echo chain?

[heady latch]

I have been getting mixed feedback. Can %increased mana be applied to acolyte items / legendary slams AT ALL?

body armour or helmet?

[placid plinth]

onto a helmet which an acolyte can use or only a helmet that is of class requirement acolyte?

[pine chasm]

The affix cannot be slammed onto acolyte-only uniques, but if it is slammed onto a non-class-locked unique it won't class lock it.
In other words, acolytes can only use the affix on legendary helms and body armors with no class requirement.

[wooden bridge]

in general, does increasing a skills damage through their tree also increase the ailment damage they would apply? or does it have to be an ailment that could be applied through the tree?

[crude plover]

In general

But not everything gets passed on to the ailment. things reliant on the state of the enemy for example do not. But things that aren't reliant on some kind of condition generally do get passed on

For example if a node says "skill does x% more damage", that will get passed on to the ailments it applies

But if a node says "skill does x% more damage to slowed enemies" that won't get passed on.

Btw Mike, if you see this. this has me wondering why things like this don't work. Is it simply an order of operations thing? where the skill checks for the state of the enemy after it has already created/applied its subskills/ailments?. Since if it checked the state of the enemy before creating/applying its subskills and ailments couldn't the node(condition) simply grant the main skill a generic more damage stat that could be passed on to the sub-skill/ailments

Or is the worry that it could cause too much initial snapshotting

[placid plinth]

it's the same reason that complex affixes don't get passed down to manifest armor. It's not a "stat" that auto applies.

[crude plover]

So it's not something like:

If (Enemy.ailments.contains(slowed) == true){
this.applyModifier.moreDamage(15);
}

Where the moreDamage modifier would be the same as what a normal generic more damage node would give?

Obviously I doubt this is how it actually works but I'm trying to frame it so I understand why it can't just apply as a generic more damage modifier after it has checked that the condition is fulfilled

[placid plinth]

like Flame Reave's More Damage Against Chilled is 14 line code block.

general more damage is 0 lines

[crude plover]

Ah right, sounds like checking for ailments on an enemy is just not very simple at all lul

[placid plinth]

no, it is, it's adding the functionality to do the check to each skill has to be done manually for that skill

[crude plover]

So general more damage is applied at the creation of the skill while conditional comes after, so it can't really be added to the pool of the "general" more damage modifiers since that's already done?

like the modifiers that can get passed on are those that are applied at skill creation, and anything that comes after can't be passed on?

[placid plinth]

not really

it all happens at the same time, it's just that stats happen automatically with no individual skill specific code and no individual skill specific muator required

[crude plover]

I guess I just haven't fully grasped the system. Because in my head I understand that all stats from one thing gets passed on to whatever it casts/uses. Like your character -> judgement -> concecrated ground -> etc...

But I imagine that it happens as those things are created. As in when my character hasn't casted judgement, judgement is just a blank slate, and when I cast judgement, that's when everything gets passed on automatically, and then when judgement casts consecrated ground that's when it passes on its stats etc.

But if we take judgements fervent impact node which gives it more crit chance vs ignited enemies. In my head it goes like this:

• I press the button to cast judgement
• My characters stats get passed onto judgement automatically and it applies whatever stats are applicable to it
• Judgement has its tree already and all modifiers from it, things like generic more damage etc are applied at this moment
• Judgement hits an enemy
• Judgement sees that it has fervent impact, so it checks if the enemy it just hit is ignited
• If the enemy is ignited, it applies itself with more critical strike chance
• Judgement does its damage calculations and applies the damage to the enemy
• Judgement applies its ailments
• Judgement casts its subskills (consecrated ground)
• Consecrated ground gets all stats from judgement automatically, My question is, why can't it get the more critical strike chance from judgement?

Now from the sounds of it this entire series of events is off by a mile lul

Does judgement and consecrated ground already have their stats and everything before I ever cast anything? like it's not done at runtime but instead is kinda preloaded and only the conditional stuff is done on runtime? The more I think about it the more sense this would make lul.

[unique solar]

Forged Weapon questions: are they able to copy the 'damage per forged weapons' stats on the Sunforger set hammer? is that dynamicly updated or given to them when they're created based on the number of extant weapons? Also, with Phantom Grip can they inherit ailment conversion stats from gloves (Hubris, primal blood)?

[crude plover]

no

[unique solar]

on both counts?

[crude plover]

first count

second should work I think? would need to test

ailment conversions are generic stats now iirc

[unique solar]

that makes the hammer much less exciting 🙁

[placid plinth]

"Consecrated ground gets all stats from judgement automatically, My question is, why can't it get the more critical strike chance from judgement?"

because critical strike chance from judgement isn't a stat and has to be handled on a case by case basis. So we could pass that down manually.

(the order of stuff above is also not quite right)

[crude plover]

Yeah I mean the order was pure guesswork I'm not surprised it was off lul. But okay that makes sense to me then

it's basically just not in the premade list of things to pass on

[placid plinth]

it's just not something that could go in that list at all

[unique solar]

ok now i'm curious about the Foe Cleaver node for rive. these conditional stats are never clear to me when they do and don't work. what counts as "directly adding or increasing damage"? is it just "+X damage" or would ti double up the "+X damage per forged weapon" as well?

[placid plinth]

it's like if you have a car that can carry people around town and you try to send a giraffe, sure you can do it, you just have to make special modifications to that car

[crude plover]

Yeah that makes sense, I'm guessing the list is static in terms of what it holds

and just the values of the items inside change

[placid plinth]

no, the list is any stat

target conditionals aren't stats

[crude plover]

yeah but this isn't a stat no?

[heady latch]

perfect thank you! so null portent or seed it would work

[crude plover]

Doesn't the list always contain every stat and some are just 0? or am I remembering wrong

[placid plinth]

no

[crude plover]

oh wait no it doesn't I am remembering wrong

[heady latch]

so I would need a sentinel or rogue helmet to do that though right, since acolyte helms cant have it or apply it?

[placid plinth]

yes

[crude plover]

Yeah it's just automatically populated in an arbitrary order by the stats you do have right

[heady latch]

ok I actually don't mind that then, the class locking kind of sucks, but it is what it is, at least class agnostic uniques are ok

[placid plinth]

it will be a consistent order but yea, the order doesn't matter

[crude plover]

yep, gotcha. So technically nothing is stopping conditionals from getting passed down except for a lot more work and could introduce inconsistencies?

[placid plinth]

yea

emphasis on a LOT more work

[crude plover]

yea for sure lul

pretty much automatic vs having to do the entire thing manually right

[placid plinth]

yea, like some mutators are already massive and very complex

runic invocation alone is over 2300 lines

[crude plover]

Considering it's like a third of the games skills (not counting subskills) that checks out lul

[heady latch]

bump

[placid plinth]

you can pretty well assume that if it's appeared in another ARPG, the answer to "have you considered x?" is yes.

I think attribute stacking is already really powerful and the way that skills scale off of attributes as a percentage already, percentage scaling of those stats creates a quadradic scaling effect of those stat on skills which is something I would push back against.

[placid plinth]

oh no, that's just the base skill usage, not the individual skills. They each have their own mutators.

[crude plover]

Mike doesn't want to see us have fun with 1000 rampancy smh

[crude plover]

Well yeah but it has all the rune stuff in it right?

[placid plinth]

yea

[crude plover]

How does immutable order actually work under the hood for example? I feel like depending on what the skill class has access to it's either pretty simple or a nightmare lmao

[placid plinth]

sorry, I think it's my lunch break

[solemn fractal]

What exactly does Carrion of Creation convert? It's not everything as I'm still applying other ailments apart from Bleed. Does it only work on your gear? Only on what shows up on your stats sheet? Thanks in advance!

[crude plover]

Shadow daggers all over again eh

[placid plinth]

immutable order is the one that looks at your skill equip order right? that one is actually not that bad, it just checks where you are in the order and looks at your skill bar and grabs the next one.

[crude plover]

Oh okay that's not bad

and it can just look at tags? (and for multi tags it just goes by character sheet prio order)

[placid plinth]

any generic bleed will convert but when something is specific or has already been converted once it won't convert again.

[crude plover]

Uhhhh you can convert ailments more than once though? Or am I missunderstanding what you mean here

oh at the item step you mean?

[placid plinth]

oh yea, ailments can be multi converted

but there is an order to it

[crude plover]

yep, items -> passives -> skill tree

[solemn fractal]

How do you mean by "specific"? For instance, in Forge Strike's tree, Detonating Ground says it ignites enemies. Is that going to be Ignite instead of Bleed?

[crude plover]

and also character sheet priority order applies to the incoming ailment if there's a conflict, like ignite -> poison takes prio over poison -> ignite iirc, I might need to recheck that though lul

[placid plinth]

that should get converted

[solemn fractal]

Hm. I'm trying to figure out what else could be causing the Ignite stacks that I'm getting off of it instead. I'll try to investigate further. Thanks.

[heady latch]

Obv you dont want to introduce something that just becomes the default, which is where the deep investment comes in. It only works if you can actually get it working, otherwise its DOA, same as other arpgs. (thats the balance) its OP if you have the investment otherwise its bad.

So based on this response is it fair to say that even with potential deep investment (future game systems, mechanics, crafting mats etc.) that the idea of potential quadratic scaling even if it was only a single mod possible, (not on every piece of gear) is outside the philosophy of the games design?

Or with more endgame content, more power from new mechanics/mats/items etc. that this is a potential endgame build possibility but approached with caution?

I suppose every game at SOME point the Devs decide, yeah this is the balance we want. I guess my question is, with new mechanics / expansions / bosses / content being added in the near future, is power creep to be expected? And I suppose the assumption there is that it feels linear as opposed to exponential?

Thanks for coming to my tedtalk/question

[crude plover]

That's actually pretty damn weird since nothing should be able to take priority over carrion when it comes to converting ignites into bleeds afaik

it must somehow just be not converting an ignite to my understanding

(since converting from ignite has the highest priority)

[placid plinth]

could be a triggered minion with a natural ignite ability?

[crude plover]

true

[placid plinth]

or target conditional ignite?

[solemn fractal]

Yeah, I'm thinking it's the forged weapons that are summoned. Hard to test since they spawn off of Forge Strike, but that is seeming likely. So it only applies to me instead of the weapons? That makes sense.

[crude plover]

Well carrion should apply to your forged weapons too if you have the ring no?

[placid plinth]

yea, like if forged weapons have ignite chance from the ring

I don't think that will convert

[solemn fractal]

Do they not have baseline? Because I don't have a ring for them.

[crude plover]

aha

[placid plinth]

no

[crude plover]

they only get your weapon baseline

not glove

if you put on a phantom ring it should convert their ignites too

afaik

[placid plinth]

oh yea, if your weapon has ignite on it

[flint bloom]

can FW even get a unique affix stat like that? thought minions couldnt get unique affixes?

[crude plover]

carrion conversion is just a bunch of normal stats worded as one (I think)

[solemn fractal]

I'll test that rq.

[placid plinth]

nothing is impossible, I just am not a big fan of stat scaling that scales faster as you scale because it means the gap between "viable" and "min/maxed" gets bigger and bigger. I want to see big scaling come from mechanical interaction. Head to #suggestions if you want us to consider adding something.

[solemn fractal]

This is the answer. Really appreciate it, everyone!

[crude plover]

@heady latch If you want to see something implemented and you think it'd be a good thing for the game please post it in the #suggestions channel

[heady latch]

You answered the question right there honestly. The gap between viable and min/maxed being closer is what you like personally. Which is a fair perspective. I'm guessing there are more important things for the game right now than scaling vectors (maybe not lol) so I'll leave suggestions for the content and gameplay. Thanks for the info, it really was informative honestly.

[heady latch]

thx, I wasn't trying to come off as a suggestion post, just a "what is the philosophy on this" and trying to pick the dev brains thats all. Sorry if it came off that way.

[crude plover]

No problem at all just wanted to tell you as a reminder since a lot of people who really want to see something in the game ask about it in here and then don't really post it anywhere where it actually has a chance to be considered by the team (contrary to apparently popular belief not the entirety of EHG read this channel)

[valid marlin]

Easy to see Mike as a 1 man company. It is a heavy burden he bears

[placid plinth]

Yea, I don't do anywhere remotely close to the same amount of stuff I used to. Well variety of stuff that is.

[valid marlin]

When you're developing a game with fewer than 20 people, it be like that

I'm curious about your shifting role and outlook on EHG as the company has grown and your role has (presumably) become more specialized. Pretty open ended question

[placid plinth]

I used to do a lot of the UI implementation and coding. Lots of "under the hood" style stuff. I now mostly do design stuff with only coding new implementations for skill nodes.

[valid marlin]

Do you feel like your focusing more on things in your interest, or do you miss the variety of the past?

[crude plover]

Mike is the reason the inventory starts in the top left smh

[placid plinth]

much much prefer how it is now. I do miss the "wild west" nature of how it was back in the start a bit.

[unique solar]

ok but who's responsible for the 'sort' button leaving a 1-wide column on the right...?

[placid plinth]

hi

[crude plover]

I wanna say also mike lmao

[unique solar]

Mike...please...95% of items are 2 wide... :dead:

[placid plinth]

I did it like 7 years ago and not my job any more

[final cave]

I mean... is it Mike though? The sorting algorithm, sure, but did Mike choose the width of the stash? 😉

[unique solar]

past mike please then

[placid plinth]

it was supposed to be a placeholder and just got left there

[final cave]

Make stash 1 cell narrower. Ez fix. #suggestions

[unique solar]

EHG figured out time travel as part of the writing process i'm sure

[flint bloom]

is disintegrating aura in hammer throw a subskill? it has an underline like it is...but there is no pop up and nothing on letools?

[crude plover]

surely

[placid plinth]

no

[crude plover]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

why not

[placid plinth]

it just adds a "fire aura" type effect to the hammers

[crude plover]

nah

that's messed up x)

[flint bloom]

ok...but why?

[placid plinth]

probably efficiency

[crude plover]

So you're telling me if I somehow specced hammer throw on spellblade with fire aura nodes my hammers would throw juiced disintegrating auras

[placid plinth]

no

[crude plover]

oh

[placid plinth]

that's why I put it in quotes

[flint bloom]

lolololol

[crude plover]

wait but what is it then x)

[placid plinth]

it just uses the same ability component
RepeatedlyDamageEnemiesWithinRadius

[crude plover]

but does it inherit hammer throw stats?

[placid plinth]

no because it is hammer throw

[flint bloom]

kinda. it has its own scaling tho. which looks weird

[crude plover]

ohhhhhhhhh

I see what you mean now

that actually makes sense since it's just always on the hammer

no reason to cast it individually

[placid plinth]

a skill does damay because it has a componet which deals damage on a specific condition. The most common of which is DamageEnemiesOnHit. Hammer throw in aoe mode gets the component RepeatedlyDamageEnemiesWithinRadius added to it so it has 2 ways to deal damage.

[flint bloom]

what is the base dmg on aura then??? same as hammer? but void??

[umbral ferry]

Why does just 1 of my 3 wolves run off to engage mobs that are off screen when I have them set to defensive?

[placid plinth]

addBaseDamage(DamageType.VOID, 8f * (1 + increasedAoEVoidDamage));

[crude plover]

Btw speaking of hammer throw do you know the speed at which the hammers move away from the center and the angular speed when they spiral?

[flint bloom]

FENTON!!!! you have a wolf named fenton. its an easter egg

[umbral ferry]

[placid plinth]

yea, minions can get random names and fenton is one of the random names. it is the only one with unique properties of any kind

[flint bloom]

😄 just resummon your wolves until you dont get a fenton

[crude plover]

poor fenton

[flint bloom]

just checking, this is the base dmg? i dont understand

[umbral ferry]

okay good, I got owl face this time... I never even looked at their names...

[crude plover]

8 base damage @flint bloom

[flint bloom]

okies

[placid plinth]

Base dmg 8 void
Tags: throwing and dot
base radius 2.2

[flint bloom]

am not coder man...am dumb. thank you

[crude plover]

The f just means it's a float. Most things in LE are floats lul

(just a way to store values, like an integer)

[placid plinth]

sorry, shouldn't have posted it in code

[flint bloom]

nah, you are good. i dont mind learning 🙂

[crude plover]

Why is the D in DamageType capital while addBaseDamage is camel case

[placid plinth]

one is a function call and the other is an enum type

[crude plover]

Huh I guess I just don't capitalize my enums usually, looked a little weird to me but maybe I'm the weird one

[placid plinth]

there is no "right" way to do it really.

[crude plover]

True dat

[crude plover]

Btw is it possible to get this? I understand if not, but would be nice for one of my graphs :3

[flint bloom]

last dumb question...the auras do stack right?

[placid plinth]

157f * (1 + increasedProjectileSpeed)

[crude plover]

bless

[placid plinth]

yes

[crude plover]

I was about to ask about the rest lul

[placid plinth]

157 is the speed they rotate around your character

[crude plover]

hmm how does that work

How are they redirected?

into a circle

[placid plinth]

angleChangedPerSecond = 157f * (1 + increasedProjectileSpeed);
outwardSpeed = 1.15f;```

[crude plover]

perfect

angle change is in degrees right?

[placid plinth]

yes

[flint bloom]

slightly related question. is it possible for a unique to effect global projectile speeds? like on all skills? or does it have to be a specific skill basis, like with volcanic orb?

[placid plinth]

no, projectile speed is not a stat

[flint bloom]

so then how do the nodes that effect projectile speed work? or is it just not a player facing stat

[placid plinth]

same way that any other non-stat node works really. The node sets the value of a variable which is handed to the mutator which has bespoke code to set the projectile speed appropreately. For example, in volcanic orb, it passes the variable for shrapnel speed down to the shrapnel mutator sitting on the volcanic orb object which then has code to set the movement speed of the shrapnel itself.

[crude plover]

Do you know the base radius for disintegrating aura? 🥹

[pine chasm]

@crude plover

[crude plover]

Oh I didn't see that, thanks!

[pine chasm]

It's quite possible Mike went back in time to answer that

[pine dome]

Where else is it supposed to start?

[crude plover]

Bottom left

[pine dome]

Is that how you read a book?

[crude plover]

That's how coordinates work

[crude plover]

Why is the tangential velocity and angle change independant O.o

wouldn't the angle change kinda determine the tangential velocity?

[valid marlin]

One thing I've noticed over time is that EHG in many instances prefers sweeping changes and reworked systems over small improvements to certain systems. I don't know if you'd agree with that Mike, but there are examples that seem to be true, and I'm hoping to get your insight.

Prophecy icons is a big one that's really made me scratch my head. Lots of prophecy icons are shared between different prophecies, at least partially defeating the purpose of the icon. I cannot look at the icon and identify the reward type. Armor/Body armor, Caster weapon/wand, Jewelry/Ring, and a few others. This feedback came back really early in 1.0, because it's a pretty clear flaw in the apparent purpose of an icon in the UI with a negative impact on the UX, where you must hover prophecies that, with an appropriate icon, you'd prefer to skip.

For a long time, EHG gave little response to suggestions on this topic, other than to acknowledge that it was a problem. From the outside, it doesn't seem like a big fix. A couple of small art assets, and a cosmetic change to 2D art. But 2 years later, this problem still persists, and you've recently announced taking the prophecy system "down to the studs" for a rework/redesign. That redesign is welcome, but it appears that this pain point was back-burnered at least in part because a future rework was planned.

On the offchance you happen to read my long-winded post, what's your take on this?

Do you think that I'm overstating the impact of this type of problem?
Do you think I'm underestimating the amount of work that would be required for this fix?
Do you think this is more just how workflow is handled at EHG that causes this?
Do you think this is a general trend (rework over incremental change), isolated, or just mostly non-existent?

I don't know, just looking for your thoughts.

Hello, love the game and the season absolute banger. I was curious about conversion stuff for skills. It seems odd to me that skills such as infernal shade you can convert fire - physical, ignite chance - bleed. Then you take a node like eruption that is really fun and cool for the build but the fire explosion ends up being its on thing and actually does not convert.

This is a fairly common problem I have seen with a few off meta builds (shatterstrike lightning), that kind of stop me from wanting to experiment with them because I end having to scale a bunch of different damage types. Do you plan on when you convert a skill letting the entire ability be converted in the future or you are kind of stuck to whatever nodes happen to work for it? I just want to try more variety with stuff but kind of feel locked into place for if this ability really wants it to be necrotic damage and half the tree supports necrotic then converting it is kind of pointless if it will still be doing a bunch of necrotic from the rest of the skill tree.

Hi guys, question regarding prophecy/COF limits - do exalt items dropped through COF prophecies have a chance for multiple (2+) exalt affixes, or is there a limit of 1 for them? (vs. map drops)

[valid marlin]

Yes, have dropped many multi exalts from prophecies. #⭕┃circle-of-fortune is a good place for questions like this, in case you didn't know!

[broken sable]

bladedancer passive "critical eye" says critical vuln - adds 5% additional chance to be crit and just in next paragraph says 2% additonal , so i missuderstanding some wording or it is bug , or may be first stack +5% and others +2%

[crude plover]

It's 2%, used to be 5% and got nerfed but they forgot to change the wording on that node

[fervent girder]

Extremely low odds to have 2t7 maybe if you spend 1 million favor you will see some but the odds of 2t7 gear is really really low ,prophecies for exalts have always been bad

[heady latch]

does phys pen with bleed on heartrender node get affected by fire conversion? or is it a dead stat

[hallow thorn]

I really wish some of DEV could streaming to play their own broken piece of game this season by using any class. I really want to see how they build their defense between lv 60-lv90 which is just get into the timeline. And test how their brain functioning to add Vaal mech in game but lower the chance of dropping the ex gears. how long they farm to get single mage T7 affix by melee or physical class and get a range or elemental T7 affix by using melee or DOT skills.

[hallow thorn]

why those dev have so broken glass heart that ban people curse them but not just change the mech. They really deserve those bad reviews. not only because the paid DLC but defensive side is totally broken on DOT

[hallow thorn]

on previous video, 00:10:36 he died and picked another node. isnt it problem on death penalty now? even dev wont fight same node if they die

and the defense to dot deals way more damage than last 2 season and i read through all patch notes, nothing was written about it except decrease poision dot on omen fight

Hello sorry to ask again for this but are you guys aware that corrupted form passive in the lich tree is bugged in online but it works in offline,like has any of you tried this in online set up,this means we always missing quite a bit of damage on any builds lich wants to do,it has been bugged since 1.3 so again I ask are you guys aware of this or not,since last answer i got to this question is that it was working but it was a tooltip error and thats not the case .

[woven mesa]

1. Sometimes when I play with my friend in party - death screen show me the revive button, and it's clickable, but after a pressing, u not revive.
2. When I in Rift Beast location, invisible walls don't let me go through them.

[sturdy ridge]

Hey guys , Im trying to post a zip file that is 13 mb in your bug report section of the forum but its telling me that the file is too big

[cursive sparrow]

is there a cap on % not to consume potion?

[crude plover]

If I've understood correctly this is actually a character sheet bug and not a bug with the node itself. Apparently the client doesn't know about corrupted form but the server does, so you do get the correct stats but the character sheet reflects the wrong ones (character sheet doesn't see corrupted form and continues using the default low life threshold).

[fervent girder]

Volca tried the node in offline and online and in offline worked fine and online didn't

[crude plover]

Yes because offline the integration is fully client side

I'll test it in a bit to see if it's actually working or not

[fervent girder]

Yeah I have to try that myself too I guess

[crude plover]

Basically you should see and deal the increased damage even if your sheet says you don't have it

[sturdy ridge]

My movement skill is getting me stuck constantly. Any ETA at all for the movement skill bugfix ?

[pine dome]

You won't get info on bugs in a channel called no bug no support

[sturdy ridge]

It is just enfuriating

My rogue is getting bodied because she just stops animating

[pine dome]

I get that, but if everyone that encounter a bug come here then it become a bug related channel and loose it's purpose of being able to ask devs game design/coding questions

[sturdy ridge]

Can i send you a video dm for you to show it to them ( I also sent two seperate bug reports ). I also tried using the bug report forum section but the prompt told me my zip file is too big when it it 13 mb

[pine dome]

If you want but that won't do anything, I am just helping moderating the discord
You can trying dm @jaunty pier
That would get your video in more capable hands

[sturdy ridge]

I sent it to modmail

[dawn saddle]

Every time I travel to haven of silk specifically, I get disconnected.

[flint bloom]

if you encounter bugs, use f8 ingame and report them there, not in the channel named, no bugs

[placid plinth]

Yes, I think 75%?

[sturdy ridge]

I found out the error : Its shift casting chakram that makes me stuck. Those two skill interactions are causing rogue to get stuck

that and potentially dancing strikes proccing chakram as well

and potentially the shadows doing it too

[flint bloom]

for the second time today, please report all bugs ingame using f8

this is not the channel for it

repeatedly posting here does nothing, reporting that you reported does nothing. nothing is taken from here

[sturdy ridge]

I sent it twice ingame and In the forums. I also sent a video to modmail.

[crude plover]

yes

[flint bloom]

those are fine. you do not have to report here when you do. just do the first step

you dont need to update here

nothing bug related needs to be here

[sturdy ridge]

I also was telling you guys where to look specifically because I found out through chance what was causing it so that you can have an easier time pinpointing it

[flint bloom]

NOTHING is taken from here.

submit a bug report

[placid plinth]

Please do not post anything about bugs at all here in any way.

[flint bloom]

that is the only way

[crude plover]

None of the people reading this channel are the ones who need to pinpoint it, it's like telling a cashier where you saw a criminal thinking that'd somehow help the cops. That's not to say your in-game and forum reports aren't appriciated. Those are super helpful, but posting in this channel isn't.

[sturdy ridge]

Another topic , where do i go in this discord to tell you that your forum has a bug with zip files?

[crude plover]

I guess #feedback , but I'd honestly just make another forum post talking about the issue

[flint bloom]

is it a bug that the file is too big?

[sturdy ridge]

yes

[placid plinth]

That's not a bug

[sturdy ridge]

My file is 13 mb

[placid plinth]

We intentionally don't allow for files to be uploaded to the forums above a very low threshold.

[sturdy ridge]

It is a video about the bug that i zipped

[crude plover]

If you want to upload a video just upload it to youtube or imgur (or another platform) and link it in the post

[placid plinth]

When submitting a bug report in game. Please describe the steps to recreate the bug in your in game bug report so we can reproduce it. If we can't reproduce it with consistent steps, we might reach out directly to connect.

That's part of why the in game bug report is so great

[timid fjord]

are things that make minions larger visual only or do they affect their hitboxes too?

[sturdy ridge]

The prompt in the forums says max size is 16 mb and my file was 13 mb

[harsh sky]

speaking of which, I noticed the bug report channel here is gone? does it just go to #feedback now?

[pine dome]

Just report in game

[crude plover]

Preferably it goes to the in-game tool. But you can't report using the forums as well. But the best way by far is through the in-game tool

[placid plinth]

They do affect hit boxes. It also affects threat generation a tiny bit.

(just because threat is based on distance and if it is bigger it is slightly closer to everything)

[verbal pine]

With corruption allowing rolls on items be set to be min and max value is it coded for bluefeather band to roll 54% when its min because it is less mana and etc or it is just strictly numeric

Is Ash Wake supposed to convert all of aura of decay to fire? Poison nova is still poison

[flint bloom]

not all, no. it will convert the same thing the other type conversions do.

[pine chasm]

When you have the roll ranges visible, min roll sets each of them to the number on the left side, max roll sets them to the one on the right

[verbal pine]

Awesome thanks!

[limpid pelican]

on the first kills data you guys showed apparently the hc uber killer died 2 hours in to the league and you guys forgot to check if he was still hc during the kill

[heady latch]

is "less 'dmg type' taken" multiplicative with resistance? Say Ravenous Void, less Void dmg. If you max roll, thats -15%. If you have 75% void res, is that just

(premitigated initial damage * (.25 * .85))?

or (premitigated initial damage * .25) * (.85)

Obv armour and stuff factors here, but just the essence of the question is, is it calculated with res, or is it after that calculation, you take 15% less of whatever that calculated number is. I assume former, but again, just checking.

[pine chasm]

Yes, it's multiplicative; less modifiers are always multiplicative with other modifiers. (The two examples you gave are the same though, both multiplicative)

[heady latch]

I realize that after checking lol I also meant to have it as .25 and not .75, woops

[kindred night]

hello Mike, quick question: with the community being overwhelmingly annoyed (from what i can tell anyway) about the change you made where we can no longer move our character while some menus are open, what would you say are the chances this gets reverted in 1.4? just so we know what to expect

[timid fjord]

wasn't this already reverted in patch? I mean I can move my character while having menu open

[kindred night]

do you mean today's patch? I haven't played today but i didnt see it in patch notes

[eternal galleon]

Any chance that the 'negative mana stops channeled skills' thing could be disabled for Flame Rush? It doesn't have a channel cost but still gets its channel interrupted if your mana goes negative.

[broken sparrow]

Does Corruption (item rarity) affect Idol affix odds?
For example, if crit chance has a 10% weighting and lightning damage has a 30% weighting, does higher Corruption make specific Idol mods more likely on drops like Omen Idols?
Or does item rarity only increase how many Idols drop, but not the modifier odds themselves?

[jaunty dune]

wait i thought it was because vitality is eterra's domain and the observer is the one doing the crafting for us or something

[crude plover]

Item rarity increases neither

It's rarity, as in white, blue, yellow, exalted, unique, set etc. idols don't have any rarities

[flint bloom]

this is not a question either. feedback belongs in #feedback

thanks

[crude plover]

Can confirm it does actually work in online too, just the character sheet not reflecting

[fervent girder]

Did try it myself and you are right sorry

[harsh sky]

Does corruption affect the tier chances for idol altars' regular affixes?

[foggy turret]

[orchid inlet]

found a work around bud? I respeced to cascade build a few hours ago and pretty much cant play the game coz i get stuck almost every mono and have to tp out

[sturdy ridge]

take out the chakram node

[little raptor]

Vitality is actually a bit special in that it doesn't roll in all the same places as the other attributes. Being able to swap to vitality would enable vitality ring affixes, for example

[sturdy ridge]

[sturdy ridge]

Cyborg , what is exactly bugged about weaver enchants on idols? Is it the effect of the enchant not working? IE Minion Cast Speed on an enchanted necromancer huge idol

[crude plover]

The corrupted affix that gives a limit to corrupted idols as well as increased weaver enchantment effect for idols in refracted slots seems to be bugged, not granting the enchantment effect, only the idol limit.

The normal enchantment effect affix is working though

[sturdy ridge]

oh my

[graceful copper]

I cannot post my question. Why?
It says admins could see it.

[crude plover]

Yeah it got flagged for using prohibited language. Reporting people for violating the rules in the in-game chat does have an effect. reports get reviewed and actions are taken based on them. Having live moderation for every language is sadly pretty unrealistic, which is why the game relies on automated filters for the most part, but also reports.

[spare carbon]

what is wrong with low life lich passive?

that's my main char 😱

[flint bloom]

Nothing. It has been tetsed mutilple times by the devs to be working fine. It is just a visual issue with the c sheet

[spare carbon]

okay, thank you, Eagles - what exactly is wrong with the character sheet? (as in what is supposed to be shown and what is currently shown, i wasnt aware of anything)

[crude plover]

Any stats you would gain at low life don't show when at above 35% on the character sheet even if you have the corrupted form

But they do apply just fine, it's just on the sheet that they're not working right

[spare carbon]

i understand, thank your very much for explaining 🙏🏻

[heady latch]

how does the stun avoidance value factor into a percentage to avoid stuns? I assume there is DR somewhere too in the equation. Basically looking for the formula if available, if not, an explanation works.

[crude plover]

"Is x supposed to" is often the same as "is x bugged?"

[crude plover]

If you think it looks nice, then good! if you think it's too dark, please post in #feedback , if you think it might be too dark because it's bugged, please make a bug report

[sturdy ridge]

Thing is the map darkness is random

[crude plover]

Pretty sure all of them are like that no? was an update back in 0.9 or something

where the weather and lighting was randomized

[hoary frigate]

so Pyramidal altar is buggy. but why it counts any idol with weaver affixes a 'weaver idol'? I mean there're idols that have 'weaver' in their name like Minor Weaver Idol of...smth. But my Heretical Ornate idol doesn't have a word 'weaver'. Why the altar thinks it's weaver? Or else they should word that implicit like '2 idols with Weaver affixes eqipped at maximum'. Because now it's misleading awfully

[flint bloom]

if you would like to submit that bug report, please hit f8 ingame and report it

[hoary frigate]

but i'm not sure if 'weaver' means any idol with green affixes (weaver touched) or only idols with a word 'weaver' in their name

if I have a Ornate idol and enchant it does it become 'weaver' for the Pyramidal altar?

[flint bloom]

weaver and heretic idols are different types. if it is counting one as the other, it is bugged. (there are also some other bugs known about with altars and specific affix types, which also might be effecting you)

weavers are 1x1, 2x1, 1x2 idols with the 'weaver' as its base diety. heretical ones are class idols (already claimed by gods) changed to weaver, hence the heretical

[pine dome]

Claimed by the gods?

[flint bloom]

idk. you have a better word for objects imbued with divine powers?

[pine dome]

I guess I ve never realised they were god related

[crude plover]

There is a prophecy rework announced and confirmed already in the works, and the raodmap has it for season 5. Additionally, new prophecies were added this season

[timid fjord]

Since red ring is really strong and popular item in any build that doesn't need specific rings, do you remember if there was lot of talk about making it into primordial unique when primordials were being made?

[placid plinth]

Yes, it didn't fit the bill of driving a specific theme that other primordials do and it would mean we were taking something away which doesn't generally get a good reaction.

[final night]

Are the prefix and suffix affixes on 1x3 omen idols that are usually only found on 2x2 idols drop only or can they be obtained by corrupting a normal 1x3 class idol?

Drop only

They're omen idol specific

[final night]

For example, trying for Healing effectiveness and block effectiveness on a 1x3 sentinel idol

Doesn't corrupting an idol turn it into an omen idol?

No

It just corrupts it

Corrupted idols are not omen idols

Would being able to put a rare into nemesis egg ever be considered? Having a 5/5/5/5 randomly get upgraded would be cool and make rares actually useful in end game instead of insta-hide. Would put some agency on finding multi exalt items instead of leaning on imprinting.

question about shield bash. Is the iron arms node converted to deal more fire damage per strength when the skill is fully converted to fire damage with incinerating blows?

question about shield bash. Is the iron arms node converted to deal more fire damage per strength when the skill is fully converted to fire damage with incinerating blows? I tried to test this and enabled iron arms in the tree when I only had fire damage overall and the damage went up. equipping all the gear the damage didn't increase as much as expected.

[placid plinth]

no, always physical

[forest bluff]

I would like to ask: for brutality, if I have 200 strength I will have 100% reduced damage leech as health. Does that means the damage leech as health is reduced to half or do I have no leech at all?

[placid plinth]

100% reduced means
leech * (1-1) = 0

[crude plover]

It's also additive with increased leech right? (There's only one source afaik but it does exist)

[heady latch]

is endurance DR additive? Meaning after mitigation, if the hit goes into endurance threshold its 60% of the mitigated damage or is it calculated at the same time as all the other multiplicitive DR sources? I guess maybe both scenarios are still multiplicitive idk

[placid plinth]

all individual sources of DR are multiplicative with each other.
if a hit brings you down below your endurance threshold, the portion of that hit which is below that threshold is affected by your endurance.

[heady latch]

ok makes sense, I knew DR in general was multiplicative. That's informative for why crit avoidance/reduction is so important for survivability with the diminishing returns you get from stacking so many DRs on top of each other.

Are the beams from Erased/Possessed mobs coded as DoTs or are they multiple ticks of "hits"? Same question for abberoths area denial during/after his slams?

[crude plover]

Both situations you described here are multiplicative

Also stacking DR has no diminishing returns. Sure you reduce less and less of the initial hit but relative to before you got the last layer of DR it's still reducing the damage by the full amount.

Say for example we are taking a 1000 damage hit and initially have 50% DR. We'd take 500 damage.

Now let's say we get an additional 50% DR in a separate layer, we'd now take 250 damage, so instead of mitigating 500 damage this layer is only mitigating 250, but we're still taking half the damage we would've if we didn't have it (500), so our ehp still doubles

[heady latch]

Yeah I just mean DR in that 10% LESS damage could actually end up being only 250 damage worth of a 10k dmg phys hit if you had 75% res

so red rings sometimes sound OP, but in reality getting crit avoidance will probably feel better as an example

[crude plover]

You're looking at it wrong. If 10% DR only reduces the final damage by 250 that means you'd only take 2500 damage without it, so you're still 10% tankier

10% DR will always make you 10% tankier no matter what other DR you have

[heady latch]

that brings up a good point actually, is an enemies crit the after mitigated value, it crits and does double, or is it premitigated crit, and then you mitigate the damage down to whatever it ends up being? Maybe it turns out the same either way. I'd have to do the math, i'm just writing it as I think of it

Edit just did the math and it turns out the same

[heady latch]

Yes I agree

Full crit avoidance for example, would be equivalent to 50% DR on crits right? So Im just saying a single T7 crit avoidant mod on a helmet, will feel a lot better than getting 2 red rings with LP in terms of tanky. Unless I suppose you slam crit avoidance on to them, and then they make a huge difference lol.

[crude plover]

Correct. Crit mitigation is very important

[feral robin]

Guys can we fix REGEX searching. values above 100% does not work. pretty poor search system 😛

Is there any way to edit offline characters to test builds?

[flint bloom]

offline modding is not allowed to be talked about in the server

[crude plover]

(it's technically against the EULA of the game)

[heady helm]

I wanted to say a native mechanic of the game itself and not third-party software, but I have already been answered. Is offline somehow easier to drop items to test builds?

[crude plover]

Nope. There's no difference between online and offline when it comes to acquisition of items unless you mod it. There's no built in testing mode or anything like that.

Did the devs ever thought of hiring a chat moderator so he can ban the gold seller spammers?

[vestal wigeon]

Are shards ever going to be gold-style pickup? Even as an option? It's the single most irritating thing in the game, especially chasing high corruption, and you have to stop in a map frenzy because of a mis-click. Also, seriously, clicking that much instead of a smooth mouse movement is not great for the hands. I never assign anything to right-click in these heated games, and would really not like to be left-clicking shards (omg) all the time.

[pine dome]

We are doing it while playing, also there are a couples of automoderation features

What you see is only what go through the net

[crimson depot]

Do the reports help Vlad, cause am doing it, but it doesn't seem to work to slow them down.

[crimson depot]

is the chat based on IRC, if yes, just make a spam script or something.

[graceful copper]

Please don’t tell me you’ve just put a filter on certain terms that automatically blocks inappropriate expressions?
Because that’s not really effective. I can’t use the ingame chat to remind people to be nice to each other and stop constantly provoking one another.
I can’t block everyone who writes something not friendly. Then there’d be no one left. ._.

Why can I die while waiting for another area to load? Shouldn't I be unkillable then?

[flint bloom]

In theory, yes. Please hit f8 and report all bugs ingame

[inner quest]

if you're dying on a loading screen it's probably caused by you clicking buttons during said loading screen; from what I've seen the grace period buff lasts indefinitely until it detects input, which can happen even before you see the game world loaded

[inner reef]

When you are using scorpian and it procs avalanch boulders it uses the scorpians stats but avalanch tree. If those avalanch boulders proc Earthquake, is the earthquake using the scorpians stats also?

Hello friendly gamers. How come you can't log out to character select screen? why must we go to login screen?

[placid plinth]

The way the UI loads, it needs to go all the way out to fully reset.

Does the login screen actually log you in or is it kinda just a title screen for showing errors and stuff?

Like are you logged in before you click log in x)

[chilly gust]

If you do a recast triggered from within the tree for Shatter Strike and had blade weaver, would the bladweaver bonus only apply to the initial cast or include the repeated casts?

[placid plinth]

If you had asked that 5 years ago I could have walked you through the process perfectly but it has since been rewritten and I'm not sure exactly how it works now. I don't think it actually does pre-login stuff.

[placid plinth]

The "when you use" at the start of the second paragraph in Blade Weaver means that it will only apply to the first one

[chilly gust]

Yup, thanks for confirming. Wanted to double check.

[timid fjord]

Do lizards have DR when they spawn that gets smaller over time? Sometimes they feel harder than rares until they run away and I catch up to them and one tap them

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of

[broken sable]

champions counts as "Rare enemies" ? ty.

[valid marlin]

Im essentially certain that they do. I play a build where the damage ramps up like 8x from when it starts to when its fully spooled up. When a lizard spawns, I cant kill it with my full power beam before it gets out of range. After I chase it down, even if its at full health, I can basically oneshot it with my minimum power beam

[placid plinth]

ok, I looked into it and Loot Lizards do have a special damage taken ramp up that is different from how we used to do bosses. They get regular stacks of More Damage Taken up to a maximum. (because they are individual stacks of more damage taken, it does ramp up faster and faster.)

[placid plinth]

yes (you can tell by the grandness of the health bar)

Thanks Vlad

[strange shoal]

Hey team Q for the devs - in examples such as the changes to acid flask where it took a massive 90% hit and wasnt really running crazy corruption vs Warpath and Ballista - WP took a decent hit and Ballista seemed to get none, who decides on the change amount? Is it a team and do the team play test it to the same extremes as the min/maxers who usually have these builds. In this case 7 months into a cycle? There were other hits to things as well so genuinely curious to the technical proceedure I guess it is, the steps that you go through before deciding things as it is some things get absolutely gutted and others stay playable. Thanks! 🙂

[forest bluff]

I want to ask: For minions like forged weapon, their base damage is physical. After taking the "forged by fire" node, they gain fire tag. Then after this, if I use the affix "minion melee damage" for my sword to have adaptive flat minion damage, then does that give flat physical or fire damage to my minion?

[crimson depot]

Good morning,
When you have your stash open, is there a shortcut key to bypass the rules and put the item to the current open tab? Just like POE has.

[crisp shell]

Both. Half physical, half fire.

[vital shard]

I'm using Deflect and weave node from falconer tree, which turns block into glancing, also Poise which double the glancing blow chance,
Issue - glancing chance transformed from block chance doesn't get doubled

Is this a bug or a feature? (should I reprot it)

[maiden brook]

in general they prefer you report things that you're unsure are working as intended

[feral robin]

where do i post bugs?

[fleet galleon]

You can report them in game by pressing F8
You can also post them on the forums

[pine chasm]

It is just physical since their skills are not converted.
@crisp shell fyi

[crisp shell]

Game finds new and inventive ways to not make sense

[sturdy ridge]

Question for the devs : What was the reasoning for the Kuzon Set not converting phys shred to fire and also not converting bleed/poison chance to ignite within the cascade and dancing strikes skill trees?

[vestal wigeon]

Guess another season goes by and my plea for a shard auto-pickup option will get ignored. Very sad.

[flint bloom]

if you have feedback, #feedback is the place.

the devs are under no obligation to listen however

they just use feedback as another person talking in the room

[vestal wigeon]

thanks - doesn't seem like #feedback gets any responses?

[flint bloom]

yeah, the devs arent going to spend their entire day responding to feedback individually.

the CM's collect it, send it to the appropriate dev/dev teams

[vestal wigeon]

OK I will post there. A very simple request. A gold-style shard pickup option, or a pet that picks things up (willing to pay for a pet if in a DLC or whatever).

[flint bloom]

yep...take what you wrote here again, and put it there

[spring wave]

WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU GUYS REMOVE MY FACTION ON MY OLD TOONS ?

[crude plover]

You just need to merge your stashes

Go to your stash, in the top left you can select the season. Select the one you were playing them in and a button in the top right will appear to merge the stash to legacy. It will merge your faction rank alongside it.

[heady latch]

this might be a simple question so forgive my naivete, how is "distance from center" calculated in regards to confluence of oblivion / orobyss echos? like if it was a straight line, It seems easy enough, but most of the time you have diagonals and stuff

[crude plover]

The echo web is basically made up of circles, each circle out can be thought of as one distance

[heady latch]

ok interesting, so can I post a screenshot in general @ you cyborg and you confirm or deny if this one counts as +1 or if its the same distance. I think I get it

[crude plover]

you can post in #❔┃ask-the-community

How is distance from center measured in the echo web? I always thought it was manhattan distance (using the actual grid, not populated echoes)

[minor relic]

How does increased area apply to skills with non standard area shapes (for example, rip blood), is there a standard rule or do different skills have their own custom implementations?

Hey Devs, can you please make it so that the mirror rune can only be used on items with 0forging potential and that the mirrored version cannot be altered (except corruption) ? I think thats more fair. Because I honestly have never used mirror rune - I mean, im not done crafting the item untill i reach 0 potential anyway - at which point its either perfect or bricked - and if its not perfect then its not mirror worthy. Do you see the paradox?

good afternoon,

A while back before the rework to avalanche, there was a node in the tree that made the boulders fall faster. It was removed in the rework, as a result, the boulders will just fall to slow to hit higher health targets like rift beasts and mages and any mob tha moves around. Any consideration to bring that back to the tree?

This is annoying ... I had a item filter to show me all items with double T7 affixes (over 470 of them checked). Some game update or unknown reason changed that filter for only 22 affixes. So what to do now. Wondering how many double T7 or even more did i miss because of it !!!

[flint bloom]

if you encounter bugs, please report them ingame with f8. not the channel named 'no bugs'

[devout wolf]

No thx (done that, waste of my time, i bet no1 is even reading bugs, unless AI detects explit in msg), it won't help me and not to mention I really don't know why Discord even exists for this game, all you know is please use ingame bug report with F8.

[flint bloom]

the bug reports that are actually sent, do get read. nothing is taken from here tho. so no matter what you say here, isnt going to help you

but if you dont report the bug, prolly not getting fixed

and yes, we tell you to use the bug reporting tool ingame...because that is what the devs say is the best way to send them bugs

i am sorry you dont like that. but that is the best way.

[shadow swift]

for chthonic fissure - using spine of malatros changes the spirits to flame whip

Speed-wise, are they both the same when hitting monsters - as in a flame whip is the same speed as a spirit

[placid plinth]

when we first started collecting bug reports, we found that we were asking players to send in their game logs. It was really inefficient and huge chunks of reports were essentially useless because we didn't get a reply from people when asking for logs. Since we have implemented the IGBR system, we have added several more categories of information that get collected at the same time which probably seems useless, it has helped us solve so many bugs. Just little things like the automatic screenshot helps us get a ton of information quickly. Seemingly innocuous stuff like what skills are equipped, if you're using a controller, what mtx you have equipped, what zone you're in, what corruption you might be playing at, if you're at high ping. Most of that can be seen from a simple screenshot. All this meta data surrounding the state of the game client at the time of the bug is really important. It also gives us a registered pathway directly to the account that experienced it in case we need to follow up with you directly.

All of this becomes a huge logistical nightmare over discord.

[placid plinth]

the spirits and whips are triggered abilities cast by the fissure, the rate at which they are cast should be the same

+xx critical strike chance with Traitor;s tongue equipped in the offhand" , i guess it is Local stat , and my main hand dont have benefits from it. correct me please if i am wrong

[cursive basin]

the forge strike node 'Shrapnel' says 'forge weapons explode, dealing fire and physical damage to the enemy' does that mean it does damage other than 'fireburst' when it explodes? (since fireburst is 100% fire, 0% phys) I assumed the physical part was it doing dmg depending on how much HP it has. But no matter if it explodes with 0% or 1000% minion HP, it does the same exact explosion damage. this node needs a lot of clarity.

We don't publicly discuss moderation actions. If you'd like to discuss a moderation action, please submit a support ticket. There's not many things we do full account bans for, typically only repeated egregious behavior, extremely severe behavior (death threats), or ToU violations, primarily Real Money Transactions.

Hello,
My account was permanently banned, but I have never used any cheats, macros, or third-party programs.
I also do not use VPN or any suspicious tools.
I believe this might be a mistake, and I kindly ask for a manual review of my account.
Thank you.

[primal jasper]

Okay I understand it's not meant to be publicly discussed, and I am not trying to be a jerk here, but may I ask why there is a ban anomaly going on right now? I've seen 5+ people get banned in the last 30 mins including my friend. My friend has been playing games for 12+ years with me and has never been banned or warned in a game. I can say without a shadow of a doubt he is not cheating and or using any 3rd party programs.

[azure escarp]

Ya i have been playing for quite a while, not had any warnings or messages just account banned. Not sure whats going on? I sent in a message but never had a issue so not sure if thats the best way.

[exotic gazelle]

I'm not sure what time a ban would occur at would have any effect, but if they'd like to dispute an action, they'll need to submit a support ticket. If they did not receive any warning, they were likely identified as having transgressed a zero-tolerance policy, such as racism, death threats, or RMT.

[primal jasper]

Okidoki. Thank you for taking your time to reply. I guess we will just have to wait until the submitted ticket is replied to and resolved.

[azure escarp]

what Rickyy said, Thank you

How long does a ticket normally take? a few days or?

[exotic gazelle]

It depends on the current ticket queue. Typically you can expect a response within a couple of business days.

I also want to clarify: Any moderation disputes are reviewed by a team member not involved in the original action to ensure a fair review.

How/when are Woven Echoes supposed to drop? I'm Lv. 64 in monoliths, and have yet to see a single woven echo drop (in fully offline mode, with multiple tombs done)...I feel like this is abnormal.

[crude plover]

They drop from enemies in cemeteries and graveyards. As in enemies from the woven faction

They're not super common until empowered. You can also purchase quite a few of them from the merchant in the woven faction hub using memory amber.

[graceful smelt]

Hmm okie dokie, I'll keep trudging along. I feel like when I was playing online I was getting them even in non-empowered but I'll run a couple empowered here and see. Thank you! Confirmation bias do be a thing.

[crude plover]

It's something that once you get going it'll usually be smooth sailing. Especially if you can get some points on the weaver tree for bonus memory amber and drop rate etc

[haughty heath]

Could someone from the devs contact the support team and inform them of what happened, just so they are aware of the situation and we can get answers faster?

[harsh sky]

Curious since this wasn't mentioned in the patch notes - did they imprint changes affect the likelihood that the dropped item would have similar potential tier as the imprinted item?

[crude plover]

The chances of getting multi exalted items from imprints was reduced

[chrome lagoon]

This would be a little hard to tell, but I'd personally wager that no. From (unreliable) memory, the same situation was since 2 seasons back, except the trigger was so often that the details got lost in time. Triggered items so often I'd have a tab set out for them to just turtle, gauntlet to reroll the rolls and then nemesis egg for a higher outcome. The whole situation kind of went away, but I still think we've always had the same system. The imprints were very rarely exact copies of the affix values, let alone the LP.

Even the one time I thought to imprint a ring that had 0 FP, the triggers all had some 10-12-15 FP.

[harsh sky]

ah, by potential tier I mean the LP (using potential tier since legendary affixes count too), not exalt's total affix level

[crude plover]

Ah nope, don't think that was touched. Obviously you'll get less overall still but afaik the lp odds are the same when you do drop the right unique.

[harsh sky]

Oh yeah, does corruption affect the base quality of magic/rare/exalts (total number of affixes) that nemesis offers? Not the empower outcome itself (it's clear by now that that's not affected), but for example how more likely is it to be an exalt than a rare or a common magic item. Area level seem to matter (I rarely see exalts during campaign for example), but I keep hearing conflicting things about corruption.

[crimson depot]

Is it me or weren't you able to left click an echo to select it and not join it but you could joined it by right clicking?

hmm, I feel like I want to say this here, been playing POE since 16-17 y/o (now I'm 29) and try creating build on my own a couple of time but all of them fail
POE have too many thing to consider when makeing build and it get more complex every patch till the point I don't want to try anything all learn the mechanic anymore, I just copy other people's build

but with this game I can go blind, pick skill that feel good to use

and then beat normal Abby. It's refreshing for me
what I want to say is LE complexity's is on point for me, I'm having a blast playing your game and try different things while learning your game's mechanic

so please don't listem for those who complaing about this game being not like POE, your game is unique is your own way don' make it another POE copy

2 of my buddies just got the red ban banner when logging into the game. They never did rwt. Is there a bug going on with the merchant guild. He sent an email but he may not see any updates until business days. Did anyone get banned recently?

[fleet galleon]

They do not talk about bans here and your buddies will need to wait until they get answer from support.

[pine dome]

If they have contacted the support, they have done everything in their power

[high stream]

Got it thanks

[pine chasm]

I think it does affect starting inventory, but not sure. However, corruption absolutely does affect the empower outcome for non-unique/legendary items.

[harsh sky]

wait I thought they confirmed that empower outcome isn't affected? #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

Morning

[feral robin]

does not work for offline though the F8

[crude plover]

Correct if you launch into offline it won't. but if you launch into online and then swap to offline in-game (there's a button in the top left in character seelct) you will be able to use the in-game bug report tool

How were builds allowed to get thru CT program that are killing Uber Abby in 1 frame? I am extremely confused on the sense of game balance to obliterate some builds continually... yet others are left unchecked to just obliterate the game.

Will this continue to be a trend, or is there desire to try to bring many of these builds down in power level?

Why are you continually nerfing builds putting up fractions of the dps capabilities of many of these S+ tier builds?

[quiet lagoon]

since starting this new cycle i haven't used the "transfer" button.. is it basically useless now?

[pine chasm]

If you have it set to automatically transfer materials on pickup, yeah you basically never need to press it

[quiet lagoon]

oh it was a setting?.. oh i see.. maybe i do have it set that way. Thanks~!

[karmic palm]

Does flat spell damage scales the damage of Fire aura -of any element- ?

[crude plover]

Yes

If you're talking about dynamic damage found on the implicits of weapons

[karmic palm]

Well not exactly, i was wondering because i saw a lightning aura build scaling spell damage with vilatras set and int

[crude plover]

Yes that works

Fire aura is a spell just like any other

[karmic palm]

Thats very interesting

thanks!

Is there anything that can be done about gold sellers polluting the global chat

[crude plover]

It's an arms race situation where ehg implement automated systems to block them which make them find new ways to bypass it which requires new systems/filters and so on. This is why their messages look so weird and why they kinda seem to come in waves (if you think about it in longer periods of time). I can assure you they're not being ignored.

(there are also moderators keeping an eye out on the chat but you don't see when a gold seller gets muted/banned)

How does LP chance scaling work with corruption?

[crude plover]

It's a logarithmic function that affects the chance of getting at least 1lp (not getting 0lp). Lp is determined using successive rolls (if you succeed on the 1lp roll you get to. Roll for 2lp) so by raising the likelihood of succeeding on the 1lp roll you have a higher chance to get 2,3 and 4lp as well.
You can put in the unique and corruption on this page to get the odds:
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/lp-chance

Here's a graph showing the effect on a 0lpl item, X being corruption and Y being the likelihood of getting that much lp.
Blue: 0lp
White: 1lp
Brown:2lp
Pink: 3lp
teal: 4lp (It's hugging the x axis)

After around 1000 corruption or so it slows down quite a bit (remember it's logarithmic), which is why a lot of people aim for 1k corruption.

[heavy quest]

Beauty, thanks for the detailed answer. 🙏

[crude plover]

Note that if you're CoF the rank 8 bonus can make it so you're guaranteed lp on low lpl uniques, for example here is 30lpl, if you get to 565 corruption you'll be guaranteed at least 1lp, and because corruption only scales the chance of getting at least 1lp your lp odds will stop scaling past that point for that item, meaning if you're target farming one specific boss unique super hard it could maybe be worth parking your corruption a little lower as long as you have maxed out the drop chance and capped corruption scaling if it means you can clear faster / smoother (Usually the case anyway, but especially so in this case)

(On mg this is pretty much impossible for any lpl, needing 244556 corruption to guarantee at least 1 lp on 0lpl items)

[edgy shell]

do you have the formula for that by chance? would love to plug into my farming sheet rather than tabbing over and over to tunklab and doing guess-and-check different corruption levels to see the chances at that level vs. time it takes at a more comfortable level

[crude plover]

While I do have it I'm not sure it's something known to the public (the formula itself that is) so I'm not entirely comfortable sharing it. Sorry.

[broken sable]

when i proc prophecy for 20 rare amulets for example , my lvl 11 rank COF turn 25% of them to exalted ?

asking cuz rare prophecy x11 times cheaper so , i can save alot favor

[pine chasm]

Yes

[warped heron]

why would it be considered a good idea to have the gauntlet of strife interface and the slamming interface have the "sacrificial" item in different positions? Slamming is right and the other left?

[flint bloom]

thats actually a fine #suggestions

[crude plover]

You won't get answers regarding moderation actions in this discord.

[quiet lagoon]

it's alreadya bit into S4.. but i've just been cruising casually thru it.. what happened to glyphs of despair?.. we can't seal affixes anymore by our own?

[crude plover]

We can

They didn't change

[quiet lagoon]

oh.. so they are really rare drop then.. i guess.. ?

[crude plover]

They've always been decently rare yea

[quiet lagoon]

okay dokes. Thk u 🙂

[void solar]

If you're playing Circle of Fortune, there are Prophecies for Glyph of Despair at Dysis telescope, West one.

[wooden bridge]

if i have something that increase my damage based off my movement speed, does it take haste into account? or just my % increase on my character

[pine chasm]

Yes, it will take haste into account (haste does show on your char sheet while active)

[night raven]

does the kuzan helmet makes it so shadow cascade piercing dagger become burning daggers?or do they stay piercing dagger but simply doing fire damage?

[lusty pagoda]

Do you know how hard it would be on the back end to make an update to the Bazaar that would allow us to search for 2T6, T6&T7, or !sealed? Have you heard if this has been suggested or might be in the works?

I'd really like this feature if it's not too difficult to add. This feature is available in the stash. I was wondering if it might be able to be added to bazaar or if we could maybe have Regex and a search bar added to Bazaar?

2T7 are too expensive for how casual I play.
If I try to look for specific affixes it gets really expensive and I just am not good enough at the market to make that type of money. to progress.
At 500c I'm not seeing any T6/T7 drops. I think maybe I found 3-5 not sure for dagger.

I don't mind buying random T6/T7 at low prices and taking my chances on crafting to maybe get lucky. However, I have to look for these by scanning page by page for 700+ pages because we currently don't have an option in the bazaar to search for this.

Thank you.

[fallen hatch]

nah you can't, ask the community channel or suggestions or somewhere else but not here prob ///
also my question: with the recent influx of RMT offers from bots on ingame global chat is there a gold dupe out there? Every season so far that had RMT bots was affected by a gold dupe of some sort and i'm getting concerned that something might be up this season too

[cunning rover]

Does the ruptured corpse node in bone curse proc when minions that are affected by bone curse die?

[broken sable]

i hit dummy 10 times in a row 289k without any buffs and like 15 sec pause between hits , all hits is same 289,200 , then i fly to EOT , come back and did same thing , and all my hits is 562k , can some1 explain me how is it possible

[heady latch]

so I was doing some testing and I have a question about the way damage is calculated. Based on the way the character sheet is changing while I attack, using Throne of Ambition: It seems like MORE damage is multiplying the %increased values, as opposed to other ARPGs where MORE damage is multiplied AFTER %increased modifies the flat values. Is this true?

i.e. this should be the formula from how I understand most ARPGs. Final Damage = (Base Damage + added damage) × (1 + total % increased) × (product of all MORE multipliers)

However it seems like based on the character sheet the more multipliers are actually only multiplying the %increased (at least viewing throne of ambition stacks as they go up)

[jaunty dune]

The math works the same either way, the character sheet just displays that way to keep the number of stats displayed smaller as opposed to listing out every multiplier

[pine chasm]

'More' multipliers do multiply total damage like you expect. The character sheet isn't fully honest, as it does wrap up 'more' stats into the 'increased' stats that it lists. Basically, it shows the result of (1 + total % inc) * (product of more multis) - 1 in the char sheet.

[lusty pagoda]

Mana spent gained as ward: Does this count the base cost of an ability or only the current value?
For instance, if I reduce the cost to 0 does that mean I won't get any ward?

[crude plover]

Current cost

[cunning rover]

Does Aura of Decay update with dynamic stats or does it snapshot based on your poison chance on activation?

[crude plover]

The only thing you would be able to snapshot would be the poison chance for the application rate I guess, I can test it and see if it snapshots.

[cunning rover]

"your chance to poison on hit applies to each of these instances at 100% effectiveness"

If I can gain poison chance via Bone Golem getting hit, equipping new gear, dread shade poison node, etc

Yeah that part

[crude plover]

It's dynamic, just tested. I'm tired and assumed you were talking about increased damage for the poison stacks and stuff initially, sorry about that ^^

[crude plover]

Can enemies spawned from omens, especially the Champions from the pinnacle of chaos echo trigger imprints?
