[native sail]

Not yet, but they will get them in before factions

[vagrant haven]

ah ok

[acoustic thicket]

is there any point in starting monolith before finishing campaign, if you aren't desperate for gear?

while u wait here are some noobie questions from me:
afaik you can't change specialisation, how many hours does it take to reach that point? not sure what to play/specialize in as I tend to often reroll to another class
and are there any things I can permanently miss like skill points or screw up like quests?

[native sail]

Nope. A lot of people start monos as soon as they have all their passives and idols.

[acoustic thicket]

interesting - does the campaign just not give any decent rewards or what?

[dense horizon]

Not long, usually around level 25. Everything besides mastery choice is able to respec

[glossy fern]

so i was playing earlier no issues, just tried logging back in 15k people in the queue but my friend (who lives a mile or so away) logged on with 0 queue and got straight in any work around? does this mean we are on different servers somehow?

[native sail]

It takes maybe 3 hours to get to the mastery selection if you're not rushing. There's nothing permanent that you can screw up really.

[native sail]

Not really. You get +1 to all attributes at the end but that's not super important.

[wary canopy]

Question on new patch. How can i equip second sword as spellblade? Just got my mastery

[dense horizon]

Anyone use Puncture with a bow and notice it misses a lot or shoots blanks?

[acoustic thicket]

[native sail]

There is a node in your Spellblade passive tree that allows you to equip swords in offhand

[quaint brook]

i logged in and play offline yesterday but today im just stuck in meny after pressing play offline?

[dark blaze]

offline still needs online to play

1.0 will change that i believe

[quaint brook]

i'm online

[hardy sparrow]

the server is strugglebussing

[wary canopy]

Ah, found! Thank you! Followup, is flame reave guide more or less applicable for current patch?

[hardy sparrow]

give them some time

[native sail]

Which guide? Flame Reave had some changes

[wary canopy]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/flame-reave-crit-spellblade#flame_ward

[quaint brook]

but the game doesnt need server offline? i dont get it...

[hardy sparrow]

your account is on the server

[dark blaze]

the servers are busted right now

so wether you click online or offline, you cant play

[hardy sparrow]

the server is struggling it cant return your offline data atm

[native sail]

It requires verification of ownership so it needs a connection. They're going to change that.

[dense horizon]

It’s not fully offline yet

[small fiber]

f's in chat

[shadow spade]

@dense horizon yea happened to me too but only in few areas

[wary canopy]

I'm in a game right now. No issues. West europe server

[dark blaze]

dont log out then lol

[dawn needle]

Rhythm of Fire is completed bugged atm

[small fiber]

how do you change your server?

[native sail]

Okay, I don't think I'd use this for a few reasons. 1) it's outdated now and doesn't have the nodes updated, 2) it uses Exsanguinous, which is a horrible item.

[shadow spade]

played until 54 on hc only encountered the bug like 3-4 times in 7-8 hours of gmaeplay

[wary canopy]

Didn't plan mate 🙂

[native sail]

Also yes, Rhythm of Fire is bugged as hell

[wary canopy]

Can you recommend any better?

[shadow spade]

but died in loading screen though not sure why its a thing when you take your own tp

[glacial helm]

Do I go Necro or Lich if I want to use Infernal Shade?

[acoustic thicket]

I cannot log in neither online nor offline to the game 😦 Do you experience the same guys?

[austere lotus]

Yes

[shadow spade]

i was playing it for 5 hours just now but logged in around 12

[austere lotus]

Screw this im off to PoE

[native sail]

Not certain. Don't think many people have made up-to-date guides especially for Flame Reave.

[torpid hemlock]

queue isnt moving 🤦

[wary canopy]

That's perfectly understandable. But as i don't even have Flame reave, do you think i can proceed leveling, and adjust later? Or it'd be better to switch?

[carmine glade]

well, damn. I was playing, I exited to change character and now there's a queue

❤️

[native sail]

Feel free to continue. This game's pretty straightforward on things so it's okay to experiment and figure out what you wanna work on.

[torn acorn]

i was #64 and it wasnt moving so it restarted and now I'm 479...

[torpid hemlock]

i was 1800 and it wasnt moving for 10 min, so i restarted and now im 3285 lol

[hushed carbon]

I somehow don't have the queue on my side but today it won't let me in on login screen
When I press Play online it just hangs

any tips?

Done game files verify via steam - it was ok

[minor vigil]

you have to wait

[hushed carbon]

lol

bad timing on my side I guess

[acoustic thicket]

dose poison count as elemental?

[minor vigil]

no

elemental is fire cold lightning

[acoustic thicket]

kk

[hushed carbon]

it's covered in a game guide iirc

[cerulean hollow]

can someone recommend me less than 3 button build that doesn't need any speciic uniques and is tanky enough?

[hushed carbon]

guide is pretty well made btw

covers everything

[stoic sphinx]

lets gooo 40 minute menu game thats the good shit

[hushed carbon]

also it seems I'm in

[acoustic thicket]

can someone please check if they have all their pets (ardent lord pack)

[hushed carbon]

tho sadly

[slender fjord]

Anyone else experienced being unable to activate empowered monos after completing All regular?

[sacred vale]

still in queue #23 for more then 1h... is that a bug?

[hushed carbon]

lmao

I was connected and could move, had to wait till this thing disappears on it's own

[minor vigil]

there are some new issues

in #news

[umbral lintel]

will this and Sword of Rahyeh increase warpath damage as youre spinning if lets say warpath procs smite?

[balmy tiger]

guys anyone losing their characters 😦

[sacred vale]

i have seen, but 1h is too many time to process "23 players queue"

[sacred shell]

Do you wanna finish the campaign or go straight to monolith whenever you can enter end of time? And finish campaign later on high level?

[minor vigil]

queue numbers arent accurate and no one is getting in the game at all right now

[acoustic thicket]

I just started and wanted to become shaman ist it that bad

[tacit pine]

Are there training dummies anymore?

[minor vigil]

it's the worst and most dated mastery yes

@tacit pine champions gate

[native sail]

Unfortunately, Shaman needs a full rework at this point

[minor vigil]

you can still play shaman obviously it's just a bit behind the times

[sacred vale]

ohhhh understood. lets just wait until new hotfix them

[acoustic thicket]

jesus christ why is it so hard to get a someone to check if they have the brash skullen pet

[lunar holly]

cause we can't login 😆

[burnt current]

when I "log in" with steam to migrate my account from the stand-alone client I am just directed to the forum page without being logged in. anyone else have this problem?

there is no prompt to enter the email of my old last epoch account anywhere

[gaunt wyvern]

does anyone know if dead HC characters can group up in SC yet?

[acoustic thicket]

Fair enough

[minor pond]

What's the pre req for empowered monoliths? I've done every zone as far as I know

[acoustic thicket]

use https://migration.lastepoch.com

[native sail]

Clear the level 90 monos, go click big crystal in the middle

[burnt current]

yes, this gets me nowhere

[solemn jackal]

for past 1 hour i am at enering queue screen. is it normal?

[burnt current]

i log in with steam and nothing happens, no promt to enter my email

[minor pond]

I'm gonna guess the middle is unlocked from one of the earlier zones, and I can't access it?

[native sail]

It's the island that connects to the three level 90 ones

[acoustic thicket]

@burnt current probably wait since it seems like the account backend is down. People can't login to the game so I would suspect the migration won't work either at this time

[solemn jackal]

i am not shown any number to begin with. so there is a number in the background?

[minor pond]

Ah, yes, thanks I appreciate it.

[bright ice]

are drops increased when in a party?

[native sail]

Possibly. They're working on things. It'll be fixed.

[ripe fossil]

in monoliths, is it normal to be underleveld if you push straight to empowered?

[fathom palm]

Can someone explain Eterra's Blessing - Triage modifier? Does it just auto target or auto heal? cuz its not doing either unless its not counting my companions/minions as allys

[native sail]

No. Loot is instanced.

[solemn jackal]

https://gyazo.com/19721d1eb347df37442624e5492de9d4 this is what i see

[native sail]

Yup.

[minor vigil]

what do you consider underleveled

you wil never be level 100 until you've been doing empowereds for quite a long time

[bright ice]

I know it's instanced but I seem to notice a lot more dropping when I'm in a party, so is quantity affected or am I just confirmation biasing myself here?

[fathom palm]

does "ally " just mean other Players and not any companions/minions?

[lunar holly]

anyone know why doges and birbs are displayed in a different manner ? I need a sanity check whether birbs are immortal

[native sail]

Just confirmation bias, there is no buff to loot in a party

[bright ice]

ok thx

[small fiber]

people able to log in again?

[fathom palm]

yes

[small fiber]

oh nice

[fathom palm]

does anyone know? ^

[topaz solar]

can i switch my offline character to online later guys ?

[jolly karma]

Anyone know why public chat keeps getting re-enabled?

[minor vigil]

no

[native sail]

Nope.

[lunar holly]

it should target your nearest ally (that includes minions) on cast .. I've never used it so can't tell if it actually works

[fathom palm]

k =/ its not working unless teh range is like 1 meter

and they arent super close to me

i guess it could be bugged

[solar sluice]

Any decent support builds I can play alongside a friend that doesn't require much to come online?

[slender fjord]

Anyone else experienced being unable to activate empowered monos after completing All regular?

[native sail]

The general rule is if it seems like a bug it's safe to make a report

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[twin oak]

isn't that because you have a main wolf/squirrel and the rest are extras, with slightly different AI or something to do with their skill, I think

[viral dragon]

does anybody know, if i have serpent strike on my right click and I transform into swarmblade form, will my right click count as cobra strike? otherwise I don't understand this light storm bug build...

[thorn fjord]

how to check item level of the item? want to upgrade to unique but im scared if its enough to do so

[native sail]

There are no item levels

Are you trying to smash an item into a legendary?

[small fiber]

This spell feels super janky with minions. I hate that you have to mouse over target by default which never seems to hit the target you want

[thorn fjord]

i want to use rune of ascendance

[lunar matrix]

Are there any uniques I should keep an eye out for that are rarer than normal or just extremely good to use/build around?

[thorn fjord]

so i can use any lvl 1+ rare and its gonna be fine?

[fathom palm]

exactly and the Triage modifier isnt working correctly unless im misunderstanding it

[native sail]

Okay, that just rolls the item as if it dropped randommly in a level 100 area, you can get literally any non-boss item from those (limited of course to selecting an item of the same type)

[small fiber]

I use it with my single bear build but even with just 2 characters on the screen it still feels bad to use

[thorn fjord]

oki thanks<3

[twin oak]

nvm I just checked my CT squirrel footage and they were all stacking on the same portrait

but I remember someone talking about that before

[viral dragon]

any1 know my question? does anybody know, if i have serpent strike on my right click and I transform into swarmblade form, will my right click count as cobra strike? otherwise I don't understand this light storm bug build...

[lunar holly]

maybe wolves are different for some reason

[viral dragon]

[shadow spade]

just wondering something how do hc people deal with townportal loading screen deaths, cause it kinda suck to die at 54 with 800 hp 75% phys light res against the shock bettles in the ladon place like i dunno 😦

[lethal meteor]

Is the queue bugged? It always shows the same number that doesnot change, hour ater Im still in the queue

[maiden thistle]

I've completed Spirits of Fire, The Last Ruin, and The Age of Winter but there's nothing I can do on the center island. Is there something I'm missing to do to unlock empowered monos?

[thorn ermine]

did u die in HC? just now. I'm HC atm, have only faced 1 mob at loading screen. They said they would fix that with "grace period" but I guess that's monos only

[shadow spade]

yea i killed everything before taking tp to town, when i took tp back there was 10+ beetles killing me in loading

800 hp 75 phys lightning res marksman

[fathom palm]

hmm why'd they change the advancing mastery class quest. They just removed that zone

[sage pawn]

They claimed it was because of multiplayer

[fathom palm]

hmm

[thorn ermine]

yeah the phys res doesn't matter as long as you were at least 54. marksman is rogue right? they pretty squish, prob had lower armor? I didn't even realize you can take TPs back.

i thought TP was one way to town

[bleak coral]

The increased knockback mixed with the apprehend node that draws enemies in rather than push them away will bring enemies in even further when used together right? it's not a waste to spec two more points into the knockback?

[slender fjord]

Having this issue as well no one seems to know what’s up

[maiden thistle]

Mine is a character I've had since prepatch and only just cleared all the monos

[native sail]

It isn't supposed to be. Mike confirmed this as a bug last night.

[thorn ermine]

ah ic

[true walrus]

isit worth o sit in the queue or is it bugged i went to store and only moved 15 places

[rigid tiger]

Hey, me and my friend want to lvl together but the fl thinks we re playing with an offline character. Is ther an fix?

[fading bison]

Does anyone know if there is an afk timer for once I am in the game?

[native sail]

There is but it's REALLY long

[solemn jackal]

can offline chracter be moved to online mode?

[fading bison]

that's very fortunate. Was scared to go poop haha

[native sail]

No. Security risk.

[shadow spade]

but yea its the rogue but no way i should have died in my own tp back, but guess its time to play softcore instead until getting killed in loading screens have been resolved

[quaint brook]

is it queue in offline mode also?

[burnt jungle]

anyone else struggling to even get onto the character screen?

[vocal delta]

yeah same

[bleak coral]

Does Taunt work the same here as in every other game in that it just makes enemies focus you, or does it have a special bonus in LE?

[vocal delta]

I just wanna play offline :/

[glacial bison]

hi, is it normal to have a really long queue time without moving at all?

[native sail]

Makes enemies focus but it is based on distance. Increased taunt is effectively a negative resistance modifier.

[glacial bison]

OHH, ty~

[native sail]

I'm doing my best to keep people up to date without flooding dev chat :P

[small fiber]

my play online button is just spinning. I dont even see a queue

[copper epoch]

same. play offline does the same.

[native sail]

I believe it's a known issue

[small fiber]

I restarted adn it let me into my character select page. stuck connecting now

[bright ice]

is there a way to hide items on the ground? I think I hid everything, I can see them there but there's no text above them and pressing X does nothing

[native sail]

Z or Alt+Z

[bright ice]

ty 🙂

[native sail]

No prob

[quasi reef]

has anyone died on HC and successfully grouped afterwards? I have a HC friend who died adn am willing to suicide to join him. Any experience here?

[minor vigil]

@native sail I'm level 50 and I literally just hit a Ravens rise with an ascendance

If that is relevant

[stiff nacelle]

Is last epoch online?

[native sail]

Yeah so I don't know what is going on here

[minor vigil]

[hasty tartan]

How rare are the Claw/Fang amulets?

[native sail]

Claw is super common. Fang is a bit less common.

[hasty tartan]

Thanks, so I could expect to find at least the Claw eventually?

[native sail]

Oh yeah, for sure.

They both have a 0% reroll chance, it's just that Fang has a higher required level so it drops later and competes in the same slot as a few other 0%s

[junior ivy]

Are there any benefits to online play other than coop?

[hasty tartan]

I'm not familiar with reroll chance

[burnt jungle]

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-gif-13767303

[native sail]

The way the game works is it rolls the unique and then each unique has a reroll chance tied to it, so it makes a second chance to see if it stays as that item.

[hasty tartan]

Ahh, thanks

Also, is it normal for the early-mid chapter 3 areas to be rippy?

I think I died like 4 times there

[minor vigil]

You really need void res

Early game is hard for sure

[cosmic hearth]

why the game isnt working in ofline mode?

[minor vigil]

Void prophets crit you if you're too far away

[hasty tartan]

Ah okay. Thanks, I'll try to get more

Only got 25%

[eager sandal]

craft more on the gear then

[minor vigil]

25% frankly isn't bad for that point but yeah that will be the biggest help if you are dying

And making sure your close enough to void prophets

[stoic steeple]

im trying to log to offline play and it doesnt work, do i still need to log in to play?..

[hasty tartan]

Okay, I have a limited number of the shards tho

[minor vigil]

There are some issues rn

[hasty tartan]

Especially for res since I use em

[rich radish]

is online down again?

[zealous patrol]

quick question: bone golem skill "retaliate" says it is trigger by ally hits. - but there is no friendly fire in last epoch!? - is this explained anywhere?

[kind bough]

what is about the server offline no connection

[maiden thistle]

Is there a way to modify game files or something to get access to empowered monoliths without accessing the thing in the middle of the 90 monos?

[eager sandal]

there can be some friendly fire on another skill 😉

[minor vigil]

Probably offline

[civic niche]

if they do a reroll on their servers means both modes wont be accessable. patience they will fix it. its the first days guys. when they find whats the problem , we wont see this again

[maiden thistle]

yeah I'm offline

[zealous patrol]

@eager sandal can you clarify a bit? asking actually for a friend, so I don't know the necro skills

my googlefu is letting me hanging in that case.

[eager sandal]

Marrow Shards -> Apathy

[native sail]

You can spec other skills to hit allied minions. Most people use Rip Blood for it.

[zealous patrol]

thank you 🙂

[plush river]

Hey guys, is there a place where i can find base cast speed times for spells ?

[eager sandal]

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

[native sail]

More direct link https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/

[plush river]

Thanks!

[plush river]

Thank you too.

[native sail]

One of the single most useful sites for this game

Probably THE honestly

[eager sandal]

Agreed

[still horizon]

can i copy a character to offline?

[eager sandal]

no

[civic niche]

also if u want to see some leveling guides for all classes , some people on maxroll works with the game to provide good infos. i think in #news tab is the link on maxroll

[sleek cypress]

hi guys, is LE a game that I can just log on and play without knowledge of it, or do I need guides to understand and succeed?

[shy pewter]

how big can a group be? 4?

[eager sandal]

yes 4

[shy pewter]

bet, ty!

[eager sandal]

you can yes

[night pecan]

Just hop in a play!

If you can get in XD

[native sail]

@ripe storm https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[rapid sandal]

When I press play online, it just loads perpetually and nothing happens. Could log in earler today and played for a while. My friend said it said that I was offline so I tried to relog and got this issue now. Anyne have an idea?

[eager sandal]

same for everyone

[acoustic thicket]

@stoic steepleI am having same issue over 3h

[rapid sandal]

really? my friend is playing right now

[eager sandal]

the lucky 1%

[acoustic thicket]

been waiting over 3h and still it stuck like this I can click everything but still game is not login in

[placid wind]

Hey does anyone fully know how the exp system works i want to play with my friend but i have more time then him so im higher level can i go back and help him or will i just make the leveling for him even slower to catch up to me

[slate spoke]

does disintegration skill now have position issue? like it cant kill monsters upstairs or downstairs

[eager sandal]

go in ask the devs maybe for that one XD

[remote oasis]

why is shaman so bad? surely you can make a decent build

[frail hemlock]

What does this option do?

[eager sandal]

oh you can myke alot of fun and certainly interesting builds

[native sail]

You can go help him, it won't affect his exp at all in his areas relevant to his level

[eager sandal]

well.... it does what it says there...

[minor vigil]

If an item has two prefixes it will have two dots in front

[frail hemlock]

What I mean is, how do the dots communicate the info

[sinful laurel]

That may or may not add dots to item labels on the ground reflecting affix slots

[eager sandal]

left dots preffix, right dots suffix

[sinful laurel]

1dot, 1 affix. 2 dots, 2 affixes.

[frail hemlock]

oh, so the dots are before or after the name to indicate if prefixes or suffixes match the filter?

[native sail]

It's just the count of how many

[frail hemlock]

ah

[native sail]

@short meteor cycle content will be in standard as well. The only appeal of cycles in LE is an economy refresh.

[rocky swift]

are there any basic loot filters anywhere?

[frail hemlock]

the ladder is only cycle too i thought

[native sail]

Heavy should have some. Check the subreddit.

[native sail]

Good point, thank you for the reminder.

[eager sandal]

why not just make your own, its not really that difficult

[short meteor]

only the ladder? so i dont need to start evertime a new char?

[obtuse widget]

hello guys ther is a que?

[frail hemlock]

yeah, you can keep playing the old online non cycle ones

[eager sandal]

no probably not

[native sail]

Nope. You'll have a permanent economy and any content that comes out. You just won't have the economy refresh and ladder.

[thorn ermine]

that last idol spot in the middle, is that removeable?

[native sail]

Nope.

[thorn ermine]

k thx

[short meteor]

than im fine with that. XD i hate this poe system. you grind so hard to lose at the end everything. because no one is playing standard.

[native sail]

EHG has specifically designed LE so that people don't get left out on things.

[vocal delta]

should I expect to be able to play offline right now? or are the issues at the moment affecting that too?

[frail hemlock]

I played a ton of D3, but hardcore only. Basically every season I played until my main died, then I quit until the next season, lol

[pseudo niche]

Anyone know what Error LE-51 is? Or is it a case of just waiting some more?

[eager sandal]

i couldnt play offline

[dawn mountain]

Why is it taking so long on offline?

[frail hemlock]

Servers are just borked - if you can get in it's just RNG / region you live

[viscid nova]

Does melee shaman work?

[eager sandal]

yes

[pseudo niche]

As I thought and hoped to be wrong...thanks

[dawn mountain]

what do servers have to do with offline mode, that's dumb

[eager sandal]

nothing, it just doesnt work

[native sail]

Well that's not true

It requires authentication to play offline right now due to verification

[civic niche]

even if u play offline u need a server for that, i assume they do a rework on all servers right now

[thorn ermine]

Is there a benefit to doing Majasa? I did her and I think only gold/exp is rewarded, so like there's no point in doing her?

[native sail]

They're working on removing that reliance

[civic niche]

i am not expert on that, maybe other people knows more on that

[native sail]

You get +1 to all attributes for killing her

[thorn ermine]

oh ok nice

[civic niche]

ye u get +1 to all attr

[frail hemlock]

i played offline during this mess and it worked - was just editing my loot filters

[undone zinc]

Anyone having issues logging in to character online. My symbol just keeps buffering

[frail hemlock]

also, you can edit your loot filters in an XML editor like notepad++, works if you need a mass find/replace

[eager sandal]

like 99% right now

[undone zinc]

Ahhh okay thank you!

[civic niche]

no big deal eks. in 2 weeks when the beta of diablo hits, some people will come here and apologise to the dev team

[delicate jay]

does triggering a spell, for example smite with warpath proc a bleed on you if you have bleeding heart?

[native sail]

Believe so, mige

[eager sandal]

in that case the tree of the triggered skill is used

[frail hemlock]

Servers borked - try tonight or tomorrow

[native sail]

Wait and hope that support gets to you

[native sail]

That wasn't the question

[delicate jay]

alright, I will test it to be sure once my warpath levels up

[spring raft]

on the fence on picking the game up - what are some random crazy builds that exist?

[eager sandal]

woops

[native sail]

BEES!

[frail hemlock]

Every class has some totally insane builds, and there's likely dozens and dozens that nobody has even discovered yet

[eager sandal]

not all that crazy, buut... https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/

[frail hemlock]

one crazy one is a primalist that runs around with a squirrel army, lol

[ruby swan]

Why when i click on play online the game loads like a loooot of time ... and nothing happense ....

[eager sandal]

still need the helmet on offline.... doesnt drop for me

[spring raft]

that's the kind of info I am after

[eager sandal]

as for 99%

[eager sandal]

needs alot of work tho

[glossy moat]

Brand new player as of last night... is it normal to see a lego drop and not be able to see its name or be able to pick it up?

[minor vigil]

Meteor werebear

[native sail]

You can run with a bunch of squirrels. You can summon hordes of bees as a Rogue or a walking tree-man. You can smack people and attach explosive charges to them. You can summon waves of meteors from the sky as nearly any class with a new belt. You can become a spinning blade of fire or the void itself. You can slam the ground and light shit on fire with your bare hands. There's a ton.

[native sail]

Hit Z or Alt+Z

Also they're uniques, legendary is a different thing in this game

[glossy moat]

that didnt do anything. i tried. also tried to mess with filter

[tough sleet]

hello does anyone knows why Dreadful plays his hammer throw build with bunch of fire dmg? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/YQWX2J4B

[eager sandal]

first of all legendary are crafted they cant drop, those are uniques 😉 secondly, since the server are borked, probably normal yes

[tough sleet]

where hammer does fire dmg?

[eager sandal]

🤷‍♂️

[glossy moat]

Roger that. Thank you

[spring raft]

https://tenor.com/view/hmmm-thinking-batman-gif-14744673

I'd be careful with Dread's builds, a lot of them don't seem super well thought out. As far as I can tell, the content creators truly generate the best incredibly well thought out min/maxed builds are Lizard_IRL and Perry the Pig

[unborn palm]

I had it happen again when I dropped an exalted item 😦

[thorn ermine]

i like the new loading echo

[tough sleet]

rip

[eager sandal]

honestly, if you want a broken build, make one yourself... you can nearly make every skill broken

[tall comet]

Mike is getting bombarded in the ask the devs channel so I'll try my question here

hand of judgement was changed from the test realm from flat fire dmg to only melee fire damage. was this intended and was the flat dmg for consecrated ground to strong?

[native sail]

Dread doesn't give build guides. He gives build ideas. He's very deliberate that he isn't telling you exactly what you need to do and how.

[glossy moat]

games dope regardless. beta be beta

[spring raft]

that's why I am looking for concepts to explore rather than the typical "zomg best build dps" crap people like to advertise

[brave ibex]

Yes it was intentional, they said the gloves were intended for hit-based Judgement in the first place and they were too strong with the aura

[spring raft]

how I deal damage far more important to me than how much I deal

[eager sandal]

my advise, hop into the game, pick a class and play abit around, you will see for yourself

[frail hemlock]

Any class can do all content in the game, if you just want to have fun you can basically do whatever you want

[spring raft]

I played the open beta but it was horrifically easy difficulty wise

[native sail]

Like most ARPGs, the campaign is a tutorial.

[spring raft]

that's what I figured, so when does it pick up?

[eager sandal]

early game is easy yes, if you want it more diffcult play masochist mode, its there for a reason..

[dense root]

the open beta is just the first 4 chapters right?

[native sail]

There's a difficulty spike at the end of the campaign and then there's a pretty hefty spike when you first get to empowered monos

[spring raft]

what level is that aprox?

[dense root]

the campaign doesn't really get difficult until chapter 9 and then endgame content can be difficult

you can do monoliths pretty early on if you want actually

[frail hemlock]

it was the first 4 chapters - if we can ever log in, it's the full campaign + endgame

[distant grail]

heya is online mode still dead ? thanks 🙂

[native sail]

And then you can royally fuck yourself by stacking corruption and having awful mods.

[carmine glade]

is anyone even capable of playing online? I've been queued up for 2 hours already

[spring raft]

so open beta was first 4 of the total 9, then after the 9 there is the endgame loop?

[eager sandal]

your in the endgame ~50 empowered monos, depends what level you get there, but you also can push the diffculty there probably into the abyss

[dense root]

although you do want to finish the campaign at some point since you get skill points and stuff fromm it

[native sail]

late 40s to mid 50s is the spike in campaign. Empowered is the biggest spike until you start like T4s and corruption stacking and that's typically around mid-70s

[dense root]

but theoretically you can start monoliths at like 25 if you're insane

[spring raft]

what is the level cap for the player?

[native sail]

100

[dense root]

100

[still horizon]

how

[dense root]

you just walk over

[native sail]

Go to End of Time. Walk into monoliths.

[eager sandal]

we dont spoiler here

[dense root]

you can do them the moment you reach the end of time

[spring raft]

is it PoE style level 100 where it never happens or is it a more reasonable level 100?

[dense root]

you're just not directed to that area until you beat the campaign

[unborn palm]

I have a question about a Lagon - is it normal for some builds to just not be able to damage him? (was playing holy trail and it wasnt doing any damage)

[frail hemlock]

I think most people will not empowered monos in the 60s or so

[sage zinc]

I play hammer paladin right now but if I ask for a suggestion for a faster class with high mobility/clear speed what would be your suggerstion guys?

[eager sandal]

it is reasonable

[distant grail]

seems like not for now and you're already lucky to be on the queue haha

[native sail]

Unfortunately some things struggle to hit his hitbox. They're aware and will rework him when they have an opportunity.

[eager sandal]

lich...

[dense root]

i've definitely reached 100 before

[sage zinc]

which is?

[frail hemlock]

In offline mode, I put about 60 hours into a bladedancer, got to lvl 98

[eager sandal]

acolyte

[native sail]

I have a level 99 Rogue in offline which I could log onto and get to 100 within the hour.

[dense root]

doesn't feel particularly time consuming although it takes some work of course

[spring raft]

in regards to skill levelling, do you max it out completely eventually with enough levels / what is the cap on that?

[carmine glade]

ah well i doubt im on any queue. It's probably broken and stuck there as it hasn't moved for those 2 hours

[eager sandal]

max skill is 20

[arctic arrow]

no idea been sitting waiting, pushed the login button and it has been sitting there doing nothing for 30 minutes.

[dense root]

you get 20 points for each specialized skill by default but can get additional skill points from gear

[frail hemlock]

skills max out super fast once you hit empowered monos

[native sail]

The cap is 20 naturally but there are items to add extra points. The technical hard cap is 30 (but the vast majority never hit that)

[pulsar comet]

guessing servers are down

[spring raft]

whats the character level for minimum skill level 20?

[frail hemlock]

you can respec a skill to 0 and get it back up to 20 in like 5 minutes once you're at endgame

[eager sandal]

ooff... probably around 50-60?

[woeful iron]

Are the severs down been trying to get on for 2 hours

[dense root]

many builds will have their main damage skill at 22 since you can craft +2 skill levels onto gear pretty easily

[frail hemlock]

i don't think you ever hit minimum skill 20

[native sail]

No minimum 20. But in endgame you can easily swap a skill and get it to max in a few minutes

[frail hemlock]

my 98 bladedancer didn't have minimum 20

[dense root]

the minimum never goes past 10 i think? but it takes literally one echo to level from 10 to 20 once you're in endgame

[frail hemlock]

but you can despec and get it back up in literally 5 min

[eager sandal]

oh minimum.... no there is max minimum of 10

[native sail]

At level 100 you can swap a skill and pick up a single exp tome and it maxes it out

[thorn ermine]

omg the instant portal to town after an echo finishes. AWESUM

[eager sandal]

logout please 😛

[still horizon]

ye something happened, cant get back in

[thorn ermine]

why lol

[fiery pine]

Aside from Echos and the Arena what else is end game content? Are dungeons good? I havent ran any yet. wasnt sure on what level you should be first

[native sail]

Dungeons are great

[dense root]

dungeons are good

[native sail]

There's 4 tiers, they scale in level, tier 4 is always level 100

[still horizon]

dungeons are bugged right now, at least the ones i ran

[native sail]

They're a hell of a skill check

[dense root]

how're they bugged?

[still horizon]

https://streamable.com/efw7bu

you just spawn "dead" into the next zone but really arent dead

happened twice in a row

[peak oracle]

Is anyone playing Rip Lich that could help me out? I planned on going left for bone armour but now the nodes are too far. Im wondering what others might be taking in that tree instead now

[dense root]

that's not a dungeon bug

that's just a load time bug

[still horizon]

no its not

cause there are no enemies

[scarlet hedge]

How do I play with friends?

[fiery pine]

Ah I see. I have had some issues with bosses on my mage. swapped my build around and it helped a bit. Lightning meteor go brrr. Just need the other set piece to make it really nice

[eager sandal]

H

[native sail]

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[thorn ermine]

so don't do dungeons as HC char? lol

[still horizon]

you arent dead

it just freezes you and you cant do shit

unless you relog

which will throw you out of the dungeon = key gone

[thorn ermine]

ohh weird. Is this a confirmed bug?

[native sail]

Oh definitely a bug

[still horizon]

idk if its confirmed it happened twice now

[native sail]

I've completed all dungeons at T4 in offline, that's 100% a bug

[still horizon]

when you press "spawn" the window disappears and u are stuck

[thorn ermine]

damn, wth going on. Thx for heads up. This .9 is a land field, can't believe i'm still alive in HC

[still horizon]

you can still use potions but nothing else

[sage zinc]

Just checked lich. Didn't seem mobil or fast to me tbh

[thorn ermine]

but why is it giving you the respawn option in first place if u didn't die?

[sage zinc]

Its just like hammer. you gotta stop to cast.

[still horizon]

you ask me ? lmfao

[edgy mural]

For mage, do the Volcanic orb "shrapnel" nodes affect the shrapnel left by meteor? I know some of them are specific to volcanic orb but some of them just say "shrapnel deals more damage"

[thorn ermine]

lol

[eager sandal]

if you play spell lich with deathseal your crazy fast

[native sail]

You have to stop to cast basically every skill in the game, Mal. Sorry you can't play walking simulator.

[sage zinc]

Yes you can. Just you don't know it.

[native sail]

I believe it's specific to the skill.

[icy needle]

does last epoch online ever load or is the loading icon just a meme

[native sail]

I've been playing this game for 600 hours, the closest you get is minions and warpath and you still stop to click other buttons.

[eager sandal]

99% cant play

[dense root]

did they manage to nerf autobomber out of existence yet? if not there's still one walking simulator build

[sage zinc]

See. There is as you said.

[native sail]

It's uh.... bad.

[still horizon]

the necro one ?

[dense root]

no

[delicate jay]

good news, it doesnt seem to proc bleed

[dense root]

void knight

[peak oracle]

i mean even with it Rip Blood build you arent slow, you tp accross the whole map while one shoting and have another dash in the form of reap + death seal

[native sail]

DO auto bomber has always been bad though. Abyssal Echoes is what shines

[native sail]

Read.

[spring raft]

If something applies to a skill name and that skill is then converted to something else, do things naming the original skill still apply?

Example - Aaron's Will unique chest on hit ward with bone golems but the bone golems are turned into another type

[frail hemlock]

yeah, that works

[eager sandal]

yes

[sage zinc]

Stopping everynow and then to cast a buff or whatever is different then stopping to clear every pack If you don't know what am I asking please do not answer bro. Unless you are getting paid for every answer

[native sail]

Yeah, the skill is still Bone Golem, you just summon a different type of golem

[ripe storm]

WTS Gameservers - very expensive

[burnt current]

I changed from offline to create an online character and now seem stuck after the intro-video, is it stuck on a queue or something?

[minor vigil]

yes there are server issues

[native sail]

It isn't stopping every now and then to cast a buff, it's stopping in order to actually make things work. Minions require upkeep of debuffs and buffs to work. Warpath requires you upkeeping buffs to work because otherwise you are lacking damage and take 8x longer to kill shit. Not to mention defense and utility that keeps you from getting fucking flattened. I don't know what warranted your aggression for me answering your question.

[sage zinc]

Sush.

[native sail]

And so the list expands. God forbid I try to help someone.

[spring raft]

What is endurance threshold?

[vocal depot]

do you get more loot if you max the stability meter in an echo?

[native sail]

Yes

[frail hemlock]

what % of your life special dmg reduction kicks in, higher is better

[eager sandal]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ every answer to any of your questions, probably

[vocal depot]

nice, ty

[burnt current]

You know if there are any options besides ALT-F4?

[clear mist]

Does Frigid Wings affect aspect of the crow?

[minor vigil]

just gotta wait

[native sail]

Endurance is a defense mechanic which applies to a threshold of your health. Your amount of endurance causes you to take less damage equal to your endurance to the amount of health at the threshold and lower. This includes if a hit deals damage before you're at your threshold but does enough to take you under your threshold.

(Also the G key may be helpful)

[spring raft]

So it's a one shot protection style mechanic / low life thing?

[half meadow]

is there a way to try to address mana issues for a warpath + meteor belt? really wanna make this work

[eager sandal]

oh you still can get oneshot

[frail hemlock]

Kind of, yeah

[native sail]

Ehhh.... It won't stop you being one shot

[covert kiln]

Nothing happens when I click ''Play Online''

[native sail]

But you do want to cap your endurance (it caps at 60%)

[minor vigil]

server issues

[eager sandal]

welcome to the party

[minor vigil]

everyone is experiencing them

[spring raft]

so endurance is flat damage reduction when its in effect or is it like bonus armour?

[native sail]

X% less damage taken

[frail hemlock]

i think it's multiplicative reduction with everything else, but i'm not 100% on that

[minor vigil]

it is yes

it's very strong

[spring raft]

wow that's strong, guessing it/threshold has a cap

[covert kiln]

I just buy the game. Its nice wellcome not leting me in

[minor vigil]

the cap is 60%

[thorn ermine]

threshold has no cap, endurance does.

[minor vigil]

you and the entire planet are having issues logging in

[thorn ermine]

which means u can get 60% DR on 100% of ur HP

[dense root]

there’s no cap on threshold but you can’t have more than 60% endurance

[twin mauve]

i can neither play multiplayer or singleplayer. so i know your struggle

[frail hemlock]

yeah, can't go higher than 60% reduction, but in theory it could cover your whole HP pool

[native sail]

There is a slight meme build that has your entire health pool as the threshold, it requires very specific items though

[eager sandal]

i wanna see that build that gives you 100% endurance

[thorn ermine]

lol, prob hard to achieve

[frail hemlock]

that's part of the reason why lich is so good

it stays in endurance the whole time

[native sail]

It has been done

[pearl plank]

still need a vpn to login to the multiplayer or not?

[covert kiln]

What if I go singleplayer. Can I change it later?

[eager sandal]

well low life builds yes..

[native sail]

Is it good? Debatable. Is it possible? Yeah

[dense root]

you can’t switch from offline to online

[lethal egret]

necro has passives that add fire & necrotic damage to minions (moonlight pyre). if the minion only has the necrotic tag, it won't benefit from the added fire damage at all, correct?

[acoustic thicket]

nop

[twin mauve]

no idea can't play at all

[native sail]

If it adds flat fire it will, but if it's increased/more fire then no

[frail hemlock]

No, that passive node gives base fire and necrotic to all minions of all types

[maiden thistle]

I'm studck spinning forever on 'play offline', anyone else have this issue?

[twin mauve]

it's sad seeing your friends play. and you are stuck in loading screen at the login panel

[spring raft]

So from what I understand of legendary potential - Uniques engame can roll a stat between 1-4 and that is the chance of how many stats of another item get put onto it when you slam them together?

[native sail]

The amount of LP directly equates how many stats get moved over

[frail hemlock]

that many stats will always be transferred over

[dense root]

you can combine uniques that have legendary potential with exalted items after completing one of the dungeons

[frail hemlock]

but it will always be random which ones transfer

[tough sleet]

does hammer throw scales with fire``?

[spring raft]

but if you get LP 4 = everything transfers?

[native sail]

Yep

[dense root]

and the unique item gains a random number of affixes equal to its legendary potential

[minor vigil]

@fiery pine ravens rise is like level 62 or something

[native sail]

If yours deals fire damage, yes

[vocal depot]

and the movement skill bug killed me, rip

[minor vigil]

i cant equip it on the character i rolled it on

[frail hemlock]

not quite, if an exalted has 5 affixes, 4 LP will still only transfer 4 of them

[native sail]

Well, sealed affixes don't count as possible to move

[dense root]

sealed affixes don’t count at all

[spring raft]

guessing max level LP stuff is super rare

[tough sleet]

😄 it does not I think `? but what if +fire dmg to throw atacks?

[dense root]

yes

it is rare

[native sail]

Generally yes

[frail hemlock]

the lower lvl the unique, the easier it is to get LP on it

[spring raft]

on average what drops endgame, 3?

[native sail]

Then it will have fire damage added to it and as such scale that damage with fire damage affixes

[frail hemlock]

it's a way to make lower lvl uniques more viable in end game

[native sail]

Depends on the item

[dense root]

most uniques drop with zero or one lp

but you’ll see two and three every so often

[tough sleet]

i see thank you

[dense root]

four requires luck

[spring raft]

also in regards to rolls on uniques, is any way to reroll them or is the only way find another one?

[frail hemlock]

Yeah, you'll probably never see a 4 in your entire lifetime playing

[native sail]

Can't reroll unique stats

[dense root]

find another one

[minor vigil]

this isnt always true, the level for legendary potential is different from drop level. for example it is very hard to get lp on prism wraps

despite PW being a level 5 item

[tardy hare]

@spring raft

[native sail]

Prisms become insane with LP

[minor vigil]

yes theres a very good reason

[still horizon]

jesus christ you have been here asking questions for at least an hour xD
Why not experience the game for the first time by yourself before asking, no offense tho

[frosty grotto]

I can't seem to login, but I was able to play earlier today.. I'm guessing this is a known issue?

[minor vigil]

#news

[tardy hare]

well not like they can play it atm anyways

[native sail]

People like gathering information, there's nothing wrong with that

[tough sleet]

@native sail must be an ai 😄

[native sail]

I'm not

[young goblet]

heyy @native sail i think u did helped me with sentinel stuff , do u know if judment got nerfed i see most people playing javalin on paladin with holy trail , but i thought judgment was stronger

[native sail]

I assume you're asking about the unarmed Judgement. It did get nerfed.

[spring raft]

I have played the beta and games like this are a commitment where the main appeal is the endgame so I want to understand what I'll be getting into

[young goblet]

oh ok i see, and just using it in the build wihtout unarmed ? is it viable , seems fun , ty for aswering btw

[native sail]

Judgement is viable yes. Unarmed I think is still the best but it's limited to hit variant now rather than the DoT pool

[outer mango]

@native sail do you have timer for server fixes?

[tough sleet]

i play a crit build, obviously im looking for 100% chance to crit but realistic i get at 20% max 😦 any tipps?

[native sail]

I wish

[bleak terrace]

https://i.imgur.com/dBqpzYL.png
Can u reduce the dmg taken from "consume" with stat like "40% less dmg taken when moving"

[young goblet]

okok ty so muchh for the help

[dense root]

flat crit on your weapon

also a lot of skills have flat crit in their tree

[native sail]

Scale base crit if you can, spell crit is higher than generic crit if you're playing spells, if you're a Rogue you can get 20% flat crit from crit vulnerability.

[dense root]

the only way you’re getting to 100% is if you have a fairly high amount of crit before you apply your increased % crit

[rapid cosmos]

hey how is multiplayer performance?
I'm not on a beast machine and I don't have any friends but I'm wondering lol

[native sail]

I don't know for sure, it's consumed rather than "damage taken"

[bleak terrace]

was 90% sure it would count, but has to ask

[spring raft]

would you like your dagger back? It's still lodged in my spine

[native sail]

Other than the loading zone problems it's been pretty good for me. Supposedly minion builds do tax FPS a bit though.

[tardy hare]

[elder gorge]

I'm crashing when loading to menu now, anyone with similiar problem who managed to fix it?

[trim crest]

Hi all, IS there any update on loging into the servers, mine is endlessly loading but im not sure if im bugged or if im queued in to join etc?

[outer mango]

Mike doing gods work on other channel and Deias here

[frail hemlock]

No news 😦

[native sail]

I'm doing my best, Nad

[rapid cosmos]

smaller studio got flooded with like 40k people they were not ready lol give it time gamers

[outer mango]

good work

[trim crest]

thanks guys. The devs have done a cracking job with this game. hope end game is as exciting

[native sail]

Personally, this is my favorite ARPG on market, and I have played many. It just fits my tastes and what I want from a game more than others do.

[hearty monolith]

can you play in a group with different levels?

[native sail]

Sure can.

[tardy hare]

Yeah, there's just xp penalties based on zone so you can't just bring a level 1 into monoliths and fast boost them

[hearty monolith]

what is the max diff to play good for all?

[dense root]

no power leveling yeah

[oak ore]

guys im stuck in login screen "Play Online" button processing , like that for an hour alredy... should i keep waiting or close the game and retry ?

[outer mango]

we all are

[native sail]

Doesn't really matter. But exp gain is capped for underleveled folks as if the zone was only 10 higher than them. And if you're super overleveled for a zone you won't gain exp.

[tardy hare]

Servers are a bit borked atm, you can close game and retry but I'd expect you'll have no luck until #news says otherwise

[burnt current]

Anyone else found the game turns off the lights on their keyboard? 😄

got a logitech

[acoustic thicket]

I cant event play offline 😢

[native sail]

Mine stay on, so that's a new one to me

[lyric sky]

So this screen is a dead end, not a pseudo Queue? I may just as well close out and do something else?

[subtle mist]

does this node use your sacrifice tree or not? Since it doesn't say that it uses it

[noble zodiac]

1. If 30% CDR gave me 1.5 seconds off an ability, do I get 1 or 2?

2. If 30% CDR gave me 1.6 seconds off an ability, do I get 1 or 2?

3. Does CDR apply to BASE duration, excluding mods? Or duration WITH mods?

[native sail]

It doesn't, minions use their own skills

[subtle mist]

thanks

i guess it would be too OP :p

[hardy ledge]

So those T60 armor sets they showed off , what are those? Are they something we can obtain in game?

[native sail]

Lemme take a look at the blog and I'll get back to you

[steel merlin]

Yes, they are normal base armors

[dense root]

they’re the level 60 armor bases right?

[lilac yew]

hello, my friend is running a minion necro build, is there something like an aura-/cursebot in the game that I can support him with?

[steel merlin]

Closest thing is paladin

[hardy ledge]

Oh so that's just what gear starts to look like as you get higher level

[dense root]

i’d assume paladin yeah

[native sail]

Yeah seems like they're just high bases

[hardy ledge]

that's crazy cool

[dense root]

multiplayer literally just came out though so idk if anyone has a pure support build made yet or if that’s even viable

[thorn ermine]

runes of shatter don't sell at the shop after every echo now. Not sure the timer, but I bought it 3 echos ago and still not here.

[dense root]

you can log out and back in to get shutterings back in shop although that has some obvious risk at this exact moment

[topaz saffron]

anyone can tell me why i cant even connect to play offline ? i mean can i play this game ?

[lilac yew]

will take a look at paladin and what it can do. thanks a lot!

[proven merlin]

Any one know when or where you get the cosmetic backpack for the multiplayer release for those of us that had the game already?

[steel merlin]

It is the only class that has an actual aura.

[lilac yew]

Travelers Backpack Cosmetic
We'll have an announcement in the near future when the Traveler's Backpack cosmetic item are granted and accessible.

[dense root]

i think mike said the backpack had some bug they were still sorting out

[lilac yew]

check #news

[dense root]

idk if there’s an exact timeframe for when it’ll be fixed

[proven merlin]

ty

[empty spindle]

around 10a today i had a convo regarding the interaction of Luminaire, a mod to Elemental Nova in the Lightning skill branch, and the Elemental Nova autocast nodes Elemental Dawn, Dusk and Midnight. Turns out that Luminaire either may not count as a spell cast, since it doesn't seem to spend spell uses while under the effects of Arcane Ascendance. That being said, you can still cast it at a hilarious rate, because no cooldown, which results in a constant Arcane Ascendance dmg buff on a non-cooldown channeled skill.

[native sail]

Currently offline play requires an initial login, there are plans to remove this limitation.

[proven merlin]

just was not sure if they had put it out yet

[dense root]

i’m assuming cosmetics are low priority compared to gameplay things like the servers

[atomic zenith]

If I’m around level 40 should I keep doing campaign or just do monoliths even though they are like level 58 I think?

[vocal badger]

Can you go to each of the different towns to buy shattering from each vendor?

[dense root]

early monoliths are harder than chapter eight and easier than chapter nine

[thorn ermine]

no idea haven't tried that beefore

[lilac yew]

man this is not exactly an ask the community thing but damn, the game feels so nice and whatever skill i play, all of them have a nice ramp and everything just goes boom boom kind of 😄 and crafting is so easy to use and accessible anyhwere on the go, its crazy.

[zinc sonnet]

just bought the game and cant login at all=D hope it get fixed soon 😄

[lilac yew]

anyone else feel like this?

[minor vigil]

yeah crafting is god tier

[frail hemlock]

Love the game, just wish the servers worked

[atomic zenith]

I didn’t even know there were chapter numbers? Following where you’re at in campaign is definitely confusing

[thorn ermine]

chapter 9 is poison city + MUFASA at the end.

[steel merlin]

Chapters eight and nine feel very distinct

[dense root]

the chapter number displays whenever you log in and switch chapters i think?

[steel merlin]

Specially nine

[empty patio]

Hey there, I've not played for quite some time, waiting to connect in a queue that doesn't seem to go down, read the news, should I go offline (didn't really plan on playing multi anyway)? On the topic, I assume offline and online progressions are shared?

[native sail]

You tell me

[minor vigil]

you can also press escape to see your chapter number

[brave ibex]

Online and offline progress is not shared

[native sail]

Offline and online are split and always will be

[thorn ermine]

ok confirmed, u can't buy runes of shatter after ur first purchase on the same timeline after each echo. You either have to leave the mono and re-enter or just gone after 1 purchase (haven't tested).

[empty patio]

Fair enough, is there a way for me to play online now though?

[dense root]

wait for it to let you in

[native sail]

Waiting til it goes through. It took me a while but I am currently online.

[frail hemlock]

only if RNJesus is your best homie

[dense root]

people are getting in just not very quickly

[drifting pier]

Im not able to log on, any work around for this?

[dense root]

no

[empty patio]

Been like this for a few minutes, not getting down by even 1 😕

[native sail]

The number doesn't move, you are actively moving though

[dense root]

the queue is not accurately displaying your place

known bug

[burnt galleon]

anyone can't get past the character selction screen?

[empty patio]

Ah nice, okay thanks!

[warm zealot]

Anyone had the problem to never log in the game? See eternally the "logging in" Screen

[drifting pier]

I got stuck in character selection myself

[trim crest]

mone doesnt show the queue. but i got in from closing and repopening., but wouldnt load my character into the game

[drifting pier]

where do you see queue position?

[burnt galleon]

how did you get unstuck ?

[drifting pier]

I didnt get unstuck, I restarted steam again and now Im stuck trying to connect....

[vocal badger]

Did you try going town to town though? Like through all the story mode towns? You should be able to stock up on a bunch in one go.

[native sail]

There's a lot of issues with displaying queue and entering game at the moment. The queue is working. Entering the game is another issue while the servers try to actually connect you properly.

[topaz narwhal]

ok so the queue is going down it just doesnt show it?

[random totem]

so i have this "failed" quest and missing one idol slot how do i get it? i have no quests open

[drifting pier]

where did you see this on your screen?

[thorn ermine]

ya i was poor back then, didn't expect I needed to. I might go back and buy them later.

[burnt galleon]

at least i got to level 78 before encountering server problems

[dense root]

there are more than enough idol quests

[shrewd valve]

bros is it OK if the queue number doesnt visibly go down? am i still actually in queue?

[native sail]

That quest lets you pick which person to turn it into. If you pick one the other one locks. It doesn't give you idol slots though.

[vocal badger]

Yes, most everyone atm

[dense root]

try looking up which ones give idol rewards you probably missed the start of some

[native sail]

Yes.

[shrewd valve]

ty

[empty patio]

Right after clicking "play online"

[thorn ermine]

rubber banding after exiting an echo is annoying.

[warm zealot]

okay, thx. Did open an issue, but only standard texts through repair and re-install

[trim crest]

mine doesnt show this lol just shows the same play online part but everything greyed out

[random totem]

thx, so does the idol slot come from lvl maybe? i am still 46

[drifting pier]

This doesnt even pop up for me lol

[native sail]

No, they only come from quests, some from side quests and some from main

[dense root]

the side quests are just easy to miss

[vocal badger]

No, you should be able to go back with an endgame character to all the earlier towns. Go warp back to council chambers or something and see if you can buy some there.

[dense root]

look up which ones give idol slots and pick one you didn't do yet

then go do it

will take <10 minutes

[random totem]

i have 37 completed quests

[native sail]

Typically you will have them all if you complete every side quest and kill the big tree.

[random totem]

no quests open

[thick anchor]

Anyone else struggling to log in tonight I have been playing all day, the game just crashed and I can not log in now :/

[native sail]

You can also check the checklist on LETools

[dense root]

right you have to go get the quests

[vocal badger]

Watch #news for updates

[empty patio]

Launch days are so much fun 😛 Good luck devs! Sincerely rooting for all of you!

[dense root]

some quests you have to talk with npcs to get

you missed some of the optional quests

[vocal badger]

Yea

[random totem]

so basically going through every city and look for question marks

[thick anchor]

Ahh fairs thank you, just wanted to make sure it was not just on my end :3 :3

[dense root]

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

compare the quests on this list to the quests you've done

[trim crest]

i made the mistake of having dimmer wityh the wife... now cant get back in ;pp

[thorn ermine]

yeah Ik I can do that lol. I'm just lazy atm. That's why I said I might do it later.

doing echos atm

[empty patio]

Maybe game is trying to tell you something 😛

[thick anchor]

be single

Or anti-social, what ever one works best xD xD

[tough sleet]

How does the hammer throw note ´´enra s technique´´ works? like in dreadful hammer guide the hammers are thrown as nova

[thorn ermine]

doing hammer build atm in HC

so fun

[lethal egret]

my friends are going to play a bleed rogue of sorts and a beastmaster, what would complement both those builds? i want to play something that buffs them. Something with lots of shred armor / phys res debuffs?

[tough sleet]

paladin`?

[slender fjord]

Any solution to not being able to unlock empowered monos yet

[minor vigil]

your hammers cant spiral chain or orbit but you get bonuses instead

they can still nova

[tough sleet]

ahhhh ops i see

[somber heart]

how do i compare my 2nd weapon or 2nd ring with an item in inventory? it always defaults to the first

[native sail]

There's not a way to do that quite yet

[somber heart]

aaah ok

[acoustic nymph]

So, apparently I'm awful at mathing and theorycrafting. When building up your stats, how do you prioritize say Physical Damage % vs +# Physical Damage or +# Cold/Fire etc.

Is Physical Damage % applied to the weapon, or overall damage?

[lethal egret]

% more >>>> flat > % increased for me, but it largely depends on the numbers as well for the last two

[wise dune]

can someone tp me to the shining cove, i cant get off the boat, ideally someone who wont insta complete all the quests, thanks

[brave ibex]

It's global, unlike PoE where weapon mods affect the weapon itself

[dense root]

flat is generally better than increased

more is great but also isn't an affix you can craft on items

[lethal egret]

yea more is usually just in the skill tree itself

[acoustic nymph]

Would the same be applied to defensives? Would you rate armor higher than say physical resistance?

[dense root]

the value of armor depends a lot on how much armor you already have

since armor doesn't scale linearly

[supple crag]

I've been at the same position in the queue for like 15 minutes, is this normal?

[native sail]

Also, no god no, don't sacrifice a res to buff up another layer, stack them

[native sail]

Number doesn't move, queue is working though

[supple crag]

Phew thanks for that lol

[dense root]

i'm not even getting into queue at all

very sad

[brave ibex]

I ripped on my HC char and haven't been able to get back in since 🤡

[dense root]

new feature imo

[brave ibex]

Highly punishing death

[misty aurora]

Ah shit, here we go again

[dense root]

dying into softcore was too lenient

[empty patio]

I've just read in #💬┃general someone saying they said 10 minutes ago they are testing a fix that could go live soon, no idea how soon, and that's hearsay of hearsay

[unique cedar]

is anyone else experiencing this error for either offline or online play?

[hot glen]

buddy got in. says he cant leave town to a new area

wont let him lol

[final maple]

did they change the pre-order pet? i swear it used to look different

[burnt galleon]

been stuck on character selection screen for 2 hours now, any idea how to get through?

[burnt galleon]

I think they did

[final maple]

ok just wanted to verify i'm not a crazy person

[thorn ermine]

buggy game lol

[supple crag]

How long does a queue of 6000 take?! LET ME IN

https://tenor.com/view/let-me-in-eric-andre-wanna-come-in-gif-13730108

[native sail]

Yeah, this update has a lot of bugs that were not present previously. They basically had to rewrite a lot of the game in order to do MP

[glass vine]

Boy how to unlock trade ?

[pallid elm]

single player not working for anyone else?

[balmy current]

Wait till they implement it

[pallid elm]

I cant play offline at all

[fiery heron]

Are the queues working, somewhat? Or am I just seeing an arbitrary number or not even in a queue?

[native sail]

Offline requires an initial login still.

[native sail]

Queue is working, the display is bugged

[fiery heron]

So im better off just sitting here, rather than spamming?

[native sail]

Yup

[tough copper]

Is there a way you can make item stat tiers always show? Just so at mouse-over if it's within a loot filter, you can at a glance see which stats are rolled high.
There's Ctrl+Alt to show but can you make a less verbose version always show, even if just the tier number?

[fiery heron]

thanks. Happen to know the avg wait time in EU?

[red roost]

if i like big bursty damage builds, what char is prob best for that?

[fiery heron]

wizard maybe

[native sail]

I don't believe so, pop over to #368968647114227723 or #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[glass vine]

are you telling me that for now they haven't put it online for single player?

[native sail]

Most have something that works for that. Look through skills and see what's interesting.

[native sail]

They're going to remove the login reliance when they can, there were issues with it and the old client.

[fiery heron]

Deias, do you has the timer for EU login queues? D:

[native sail]

Unfortunately no, I'm an NA frog

[fiery heron]

NA eh, prolly wooshed on my joke too then

if you're anything like what we see on tv here in eu

[native sail]

Nah, I got it.

[fiery heron]

heh good

[native sail]

Just don't have it :P

[fiery heron]

has anyone gotten through the login-queue-boss on EU ?

[thorn ermine]

so fortunate and blessed to be in this game while others still in queue.

[native sail]

Some folks have.

[fiery heron]

anyone here in particular

[naive timber]

Nope, queue 10k

[desert quest]

Anybody feeling like ring drop rates been changed? Am I really unlucky?

[native sail]

Not certain who is where so can't tell you off the top of my head, I'm just scoping out various chats including streams.

[modest kernel]

Anyone else have an issue with Lunge consuming both charges?

[thorn ermine]

drops seem same

[desert quest]

Huh weird

[raven mulch]

Void cleave is consuming both charges for me is that normal?

[silent sapphire]

Hello, just bought the game. I just see some update and problems with it, and i cannot "play online". If if instead chose "Play offline", can i later use my character to join online games? Or should i just try to wait and play online later?

[potent loom]

HC lvl lfg

lvl 1*

[native sail]

#👥┃lfg

[desert quest]

Can't go from offline to online or vice versa

[silent sapphire]

OK thanks

[potent loom]

misclicked ;W ;

[native sail]

[stoic steeple]

is there any minion lich build or is it only rip blood?

[native sail]

Lich is usually more spell focused. Necro has far more support for minions.

[stoic steeple]

i am not enjoying my druid so im kinda exploring my options

i mean its not horrible but i just hate the fact that all my damage is connected to warcry uptime

[fiery heron]

Is the queue supposed to be "updating" at all while I wait?

[thorn ermine]

you don't want to group, trust me. It's super buggy

[native sail]

It's bugged and doesn't update the display

[fiery heron]

At this point I'm not sure it's even implemented

[native sail]

It is.

[rugged sinew]

what does BE and AG stand for?

[native sail]

AG is After Gods. BE is Before Empire I think

[fiery heron]

ie BC and AC

[supple crag]

Do we have to restart the game? I see in news that something was deployed

[fiery heron]

good question

[native sail]

Most of their changes here have been server side, might be safe to ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs though

[shrewd valve]

in the other chat ppl are now telling me if my queue number doesnt go down the queue is in fact NOT working for me, but earlier i was told it is, which one is it??????????????????????

[native sail]

People in chat are not devs, the devs have stated it IS working

[bright ice]

did an update just come out?

[shrewd valve]

thx for ocnfirming

[tranquil drift]

When I click 'enter game' it spins and says connecting for 30 seconds then nothing happens. No errors, no queue just nothing. I played perfectly fine yesterday. Any ideas?

[native sail]

We don't know if it's an update or a server side change. Waiting on clarification via news or people flocking to #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[bright ice]

ah ok, ty

[thorn ermine]

just found this on my sentinel, is this good for other chars?

[sick yacht]

Yeah, can be

[native sail]

I mean, exalted ele DoT is good. Cast speed is nice. Decent spell damage. Slow is nice.

[solar ridge]

when good time for druid to change build to cold dot bear build from leveling?

[thorn ermine]

k cool

[supple crag]

[thorn ermine]

my condolences man, I'm having so much fun!

[supple crag]

I was too and now I am not. The big sad.

Good to know there are 12k people lining up to get in. Good problem to have

Maybe this game will live after all

[thorn ermine]

Big population drop next weekend though! teehee

[sick yacht]

When you get maelstrom and warcry. You can just run through the game with those 2 buttons if you want

[solar ridge]

yeah it also suggest me to take other form. i forgot the name for it but i wanna Bear asap

[noble zodiac]

Desperate Measures

When you are out of mana, Smite is free, but cannot heal, cleanse, or create Fissures

can you still teleport from Descend?

[sick yacht]

The full build won't come online til about early monos though

[tranquil drift]

When I click 'enter game' it spins and says connecting for 30 seconds then nothing happens. No errors, no queue just nothing. I played perfectly fine yesterday. Any ideas?

[fiery heron]

try making a new account and buying a new pc

[thorn ermine]

restart computer COULD work, but didn't for me.

but also buying a 4090 helps.

[tranquil drift]

Super helpful

[fiery heron]

glad to be of assistance

on a more serious note, have you tried reinstalling?

[thorn ermine]

is there a reason to do the 2 smaller quest echos, the ones before boss?

[tranquil nimbus]

Quick build question. Should I focus on my resists first before the damaging aspects of my build? My resists are like 20s - 30s lol.

in poe resists are easy to kinda cap, find them tough to cap here tho

[brave ibex]

Don't need resists if you kill everything instantly 🙃

[tranquil nimbus]

true but I can't even do that

getting bad luck on drops

[fiery heron]

resistances are nowhere near as important as in PoE because 75% resistance basically puts you at 0% effective resistance, which changes the math

[tranquil nimbus]

yup I'm aware

still getting 1 shot by some mobs

tho I might be slightly underlevel

[brave ibex]

If you know what type of enemy is generally in each zone you can sort of just build vs that, otherwise just try and keep res around the same as area level

[fiery heron]

well, taking almost double damage is still significant

also, armour works on all hits

[tidal thicket]

are offline/online characters seperate, or can you use the same character in both modes?

[brave ibex]

Totally separate

[tranquil nimbus]

I'm playing rogue so it's more about dodge chance for me

[tidal thicket]

okay thanks

[tranquil nimbus]

I can probably build some armor in tho

[fiery heron]

right, but I thought "just dont get hit" was less helpful

[tranquil nimbus]

but my passives mainly focus against dodge chance (and smoke ability as well)

haha valid

[fiery heron]

dont bother with armour unless u can scale it

[tranquil nimbus]

gotcha

[fiery heron]

glancing blows maybe

smoke cloud gives a bunch of glancing, maybe thats something

[pseudo niche]

Anyone else having issues loading new zones?

[tranquil nimbus]

Yeah I think I just need to level up my skills and get more passives

[fiery heron]

are you in acts?

[pseudo niche]

Yeah, barely been able to play :/

[balmy current]

No, because he's not playing a Blizzard game

[sleek cypress]

are these loading times normal for nvme disks? :d minutes literlaly

[honest radish]

if a spell results in a poison stack on an enmy does increased spell dmg effect the psn stacks dg?

[balmy current]

No

Ailments are not spells

[fiery heron]

@balmy current yea, I can see that from the even poorer login servers

[balmy current]

But if the spell had % poison damage in it's tree then yes.

[tranquil nimbus]

I killed the tree so technically in monos but

I'm probably gonna run to finish up lagon to get in mid 50s

[fiery heron]

so then mobs dont have 75% pen yet, meaning res is even more important

[tranquil nimbus]

ah gotcha

[fiery heron]

but I think u can handle acts with next to no resistance if u just get some seirous life

[tranquil nimbus]

I felt like it was easier to not die on my lich. Guess I forgot how to play this game or lich is just super easy

[tranquil nimbus]

Acts aren't super hard tbh. I do decent damage and can dodge.

[fiery heron]

im doing a melee lich, I definitely feel like Rogue was way easier

[tranquil nimbus]

I just tried a mono and got rekt when I hear people able to clear 10+ levels above their characters so

[sleek cypress]

so I got into the game, created char, and after hitting on play it keeps on loading for minutes?

[tranquil nimbus]

I played reaper lich and went to around mid 80s with a homebrew build

[fiery heron]

loading or a queue?

[sleek cypress]

loading, dont see a queue

[fiery heron]

try clicking play offline maybe?

[tranquil nimbus]

if you focus around endurance and get death seal, survivability is a joke

But it was a life leech build vs. a melee build with minimal life leech (rogue) so that's the difference ig

[fiery heron]

Rogue also seemingly just took a massive nerf through that Crit debuff change

I was relying on killing everything before it could do anything

[tranquil nimbus]

ahhh yeah fair

well we live and we learn. I'm gonna experiment

thanks for the help

[fiery heron]

gl

[tranquil nimbus]

Might focus on resists first then slowly build in damage

[stiff oak]

what do i do with all the stuff i can send to the forge?

do i send it there, or do i sell the thing i dont use?

[fiery heron]

press f

[tranquil nimbus]

hit F

[fiery heron]

then craft

[tranquil nimbus]

you can craft items

[undone zinc]

Does anyone know how to change your use potion button. Cant see it in input keys

[tranquil nimbus]

with affixes

[stiff oak]

yeah but do u just send everything in there? or do u sell it

[tranquil nimbus]

send everything there

it's just a separate inventory

[fiery heron]

there's no trading

[tranquil nimbus]

you can keep everything there and use them when you need

[mint verge]

joow whats up with the que

16579 people

[stiff oak]

okay perfect because i sent in stuff for meele and i'm playing marksman

[mint verge]

is this a bug

[fiery heron]

hardest boss

[stiff oak]

well i didnt had a que, but i was in early today

[tranquil nimbus]

it's cross character

[civic niche]

i dont think u can change it

[supple crag]

https://tenor.com/view/trump-hiss-hissing-donald-snack-gif-12874197

[tranquil nimbus]

I had no queue and after a few tries I got in no problem

in east coast

[stiff oak]

oh perfect, thanks alot wish u a great evening

[tranquil nimbus]

np, good luck!

[undone zinc]

Well thats shit

[stiff oak]

and thanks to you to

[stone igloo]

Is Autobomber Void Knight still good? I heard they nerfed it hard?

[minor vigil]

it's built for abyssal echoes now

and that variant is strong

you just cant have devouring orbs solo

[stone igloo]

Do you know where I can find the build?

[minor vigil]

there should be one on dr3adful's youtube

[stone igloo]

that is updated
