[toxic echo]

i do know its labeled tho

[stuck grotto]

depends on how much youre trying to get out of it, I just wanted a general idea of the progression/crafting into early endgame so it worked for me

[toxic echo]

you can also take a node to remove the shield requirement

[desert tree]

Maybe for 1.0 we will have "I cant do this" instead of getting stuck in an animation

[toxic echo]

in the mage voice

even if you arent playing mage

[keen arrow]

makes sense.

[toxic echo]

like prof oak. you cant ride your bike here

[umbral mango]

what is 448% cdr of a 10 second cooldown?

[desert tree]

448% Oo

Damn thats a lot

[umbral mango]

trying to figure out how fast i can make this bird throw knives but i can't think of how to do the math on that lmao

[near path]

10/(1+4.48) = 1.82

[umbral mango]

ty

[near path]

assuming that 448% is purely cooldown reduction speed and none of it is flat minus cooldown

[umbral mango]

correct

[dusty token]

what is the most efficient way to spam the shade boss? i need apathys maw with lp

[desert tree]

Go in a straight line

[dusty token]

does higher corruption increase the droprate of apathys maw?

[desert tree]

Yep

But at the same time you dont want to slow down

You need to find that sweeet spot

[dusty token]

currently at around 150 feels fine still

cant even find an exalted with flat crit tho 😛

[wicked plover]

if you gonna farm that many orobyss bois try to make your build work at 200 so you have a chance for the amulet
eventhough it's a very slim chance, 50 corruption is not that steep of an increase

[keen arrow]

Is it possible to make my own build in this game? Or is it eventually going to boil down to me needing to look up a build just to progress?

[wicked plover]

you will be fine with your own build

if you put some thought into it and make reasonable choices ^^

[dusky cosmos]

There are so many things you can do 🙂

[keen arrow]

That is a nice change of pace.

[dusky cosmos]

There will always be starter and number 1 builds, but self creating builds is a big part.

[stuck grotto]

its also not bad to swap builds and such so its nowhere near the investment that poe requires to do so

[keen arrow]

Nah it is totally fine if there are meta builds. I just hate it when games kind of force you into them. Either through imbalance or just dps checks

[dusky cosmos]

You are not forced. Not even close.

[wicked plover]

you can make 90% of skills work endgame, just roll with whatever you find cool

[dusky cosmos]

There are so many ways to re create and specifie a build.

[keen arrow]

That is so amazing. I love that I actually get a choice.

[native sail]

Me who has.... 9 builds planned for launch that are all the same damn skill in different flavors

[dusky cosmos]

And the devs are always pleased to get feedback about spells / uniques etc. They will do mid season patches to get the builds in a certain threshold.

[stuck grotto]

i just wanna know what new uniques will be there before i decide on builds

[keen arrow]

I really need to check out all the masteries but I saw the falconer recently and it looks super fun.

[dusky cosmos]

@stuck grotto there is a website called lastepochtools. there you will find a whole list 🙂

[dusky cosmos]

You can play this subclass on the 21.02

[stuck grotto]

used it, didnt see anything yet for falconer

unless there isnt going to be any

[native sail]

They haven't revealed new uniques

[dusky cosmos]

Ah, no for the falconer the arnt uniques reveled yet

[native sail]

That site only takes information from the game client itself. They got a pass to upload the skills/passives for the missing masteries early after they were revealed.

[keen arrow]

yeah i know. I am excited for launch as a whole but I just can't wait any longer lol

[dusky cosmos]

You can start playing now tho 🙂

[keen arrow]

yeah I will starting tomorrow after work. I was trying to hold out for launch

[dusky cosmos]

Your characters wont get deleted and moved to legacy once 1.0 hits

[keen arrow]

yeah I just trying to avoid having to make a new character for falconer before finishing a character.

[tepid mist]

What are some of the tankiest builds in the game? Who gets easy Stun immunity?

[native sail]

Mage. Mage gets easy stun immunity. And stupid amounts of tank as RM.

[tepid mist]

Thats what I'm playing currently, but where is the stun immunity from?

[native sail]

Teleport iirc

[tepid mist]

Oh yeah...I'm not using it.

[shy turret]

are there new uniques coming out with 1.0?

[native sail]

You can get it to near 100% uptime

[native sail]

New uniques come with every (major) patch

[tepid mist]

I wanted to play a Sentinel build honestly.

[native sail]

Sentinel has a high floor, low ceiling imo

[keen arrow]

crazy the mage can be a tank. I am loving the variety in each class.

[wide sentinel]

dooo ittt

[wide sentinel]

we dont talk abt that ehg team has diehard mage fans 1000%

[desert tree]

Judd is a Meteor fanatic

[wide sentinel]

i think out of last 5 years there was only 1 year when mage was bad and not top tier class

[keen dust]

guys does elemental damage counts as melee elemental damage ?

[faint cape]

Melee elemental damage is affected by your modifiers to elemental damage

but elemental damage is not melee elemental damage

[soft rock]

I'm probably just low info but I've read a good few discussions and watched some videos on the topic of the trade fraction.

But I'm not noticing one thing being brought up. One thing that would imo easily solve the biggest issue and require the least work.

Keep everything the same as what was revealed but just remove the restriction on items only being able to be traded once.

I feel like this would make the trade faction far more competitive and the traders would very much welcome it.

[wicked plover]

this has been brought up multiple times

[toxic echo]

no. that just leads to flipping and people to play more/faster cornering the market. its just not a thing thats going to happen

[soft rock]

Yeah thought so, is it just philosophy then

[soft rock]

You can't flip without actually playing the game a lot. Correct.

That's the problem in POE that you can just flip and not touch the game

[native sail]

EHG deliberately doesn't want people to play the market.

[soft rock]

Yeah thought so, I'm not sure how they can make the trade faction even remotely competitive compared to the SSF. At which point why bother having if not only to satisfy a promise given to backers.

But who knows maybe they can come up with something different.

[wide sentinel]

i think people are seriously underestimating drop rates of MG, with what devs said market will be overflown with items

[soft rock]

Yeah for sure

[wide sentinel]

then no need to resell lol

itll make it only worse

[native sail]

I think you're overestimating the power of COF tbh

[wide sentinel]

im talking abt mg

[native sail]

I meant them not you

[wide sentinel]

oh sry

[native sail]

All good

[wide sentinel]

but ya COF buffs compared to trade with our drops sounds laughable ngl

[formal dust]

how can i calculate/get general idea what is better https://i.imgur.com/RQzBIkR.png

[wide sentinel]

if people seriously think playing COF is more benefitial they are on copium

[steep marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/gif-gif-23994162

[soft rock]

https://tenor.com/view/good-news-thumbs-up-gif-26519262

[soft rock]

I personally much rather play the game and find items myself but the trade faction passives are a meh. But again if the supply is just that big then it's a none issue for most people.

[wide sentinel]

just think about it that way, if im playing melee build for example i can go COF and get double or tripple chances of getting items i want, or i can go trade and let tousands of summoners/archers/mages farm gear for me that they dont need, since melee is useless for them

[soft rock]

I just don't think most people are gonna play MG

But I could definitely be wrong

[native sail]

Surveys show a near 50/50 split in the playerbase

[soft rock]

Yeah I know that

50 want trade

[cinder fossil]

i would rather play the game and find my loot than boil the game down to "how much gold can I make per hour"

if you think the latter is fun, more power to you

[soft rock]

As long as COF feels good that's ultimately what's important

Eve Online and POE will still exist for hardcore traders

[analog spire]

Part of the draw for me for CoF is the prophecy to-do list on top of the usual way I'd be farming, hoping it plays well

[flint yew]

i plan on using both factions depending on the character

[gusty bay]

The 2 new editions of last epoch aren’t time limited right?

[wide sentinel]

i dont think that poe mentality carries towards LE at all, you earn gold passively just by playing the game, u can go out of your way and play speedy build, but that wont make u much richer than other people, most gold will come from selling good items that drop like candies and are useless for your build

[grand river]

50/50 split is being very generous and not reflective in a majority of player surveys such as the open one on Maxroll.

[soft rock]

50 split is just answering the question of trade vs mostly SSF

I highly doubt the majority of trade fans are very happy with the planned implementation of the MG guild.

Underwhelming passives + can't flip

[wide sentinel]

For example there will always be demand for orbus items and i get tons of those just by playing game, rn i dont need them on 1.0 i can sell them all to get upgrades for my own build

[soft rock]

But like I said personally I'm playing COF all the way

[urban horizon]

Technically people are not wrong early on because you still need to hit thresholds in trade such as rank 7 to buy/sell all exalts, rank 8 to buy/sell LP uniques, rank 10 to buy/sell legendaries etc and if the grind there is long and you are casual gamer never reaching empowered for example then CoF has benefits that trade cannot give you

for endgame trade is always better though

[flint yew]

hideout warriors wont be happy, people who play the game will be happy

[soft rock]

That's the thing yeah

[wicked plover]

market flippers are not the target audience

so tough luck

[soft rock]

True

[grand river]

Before we get into how good trade is going to be let's actually get players to stick around for a solid month, yeah? 🙂 Trade being good is going to be for the LE veterans. New players to LE and cycle are going to get dunked on.

[urban horizon]

There is no market flipping lol

[soft rock]

The fact that they're keeping gifting alive though is nice

[wicked plover]

thats what i said

[wide sentinel]

i personally think rank 9 and 10 wont matter much and rank 8 is enough, but it depends on how hard it is to get to rank 8, if its around same time as u get to lvl 100 then ye itll be oof

[cobalt mulch]

hey quick question

[wide sentinel]

i hope they make a system where rank 8 is relatively easy but last 2 ranks is grind

[cobalt mulch]

can you play interchangeably with random weapons? regardless of class?

[native sail]

I mean, sure, but different weapons are for different purposes and some skills are locked to certain kinds. Also bows are locked to Rogues.

[wide sentinel]

ya your weapons are just stat sticks, choose which one benefits the most

[cobalt mulch]

I was thinking of a necromancer build with daggers

[wicked plover]

also not every class can automatically dual wield any kind of 1hand weap

[stuck grotto]

certain skills or passives are also locked by weapon types though

[cobalt mulch]

you know meme anime build

[urban horizon]

Yeah idk how the grind is like but then you need to wait for supply so if you are say rushing then MG has absolutely 0 benefits to you but you can flood the market with items etc.

[native sail]

Necro doesn't really get much from daggers imo

[wide sentinel]

u can do that, moreover there is top tier build that does that

[native sail]

Which?

[wide sentinel]

but infernal shade ghost maker

[native sail]

That's not... the same

[wide sentinel]

i mean its necromancer! and with a dagger!

[native sail]

You're not using the dagger, it's a spellcaster

Which I don't think is what they're looking for given the weird influence descriptor

[wide sentinel]

ya i think we just rush, hoard items and when casuals catch up just dump everything in the market

[cobalt mulch]

yeah I'm trying to see if this game matches those towers webtoon stuff

tower type genre

[native sail]

In the nicest way, drop that expectation. Those archetypes do not transfer across mediums well.

[cobalt mulch]

solo levelling is pretty mainstream so, I'm just wondering

because this game feels free to do such things

but I don't have knowledge to know, since youtube and their official website doesn't help check

[wide sentinel]

u have freedom but if u go meme dont expect to push past early endgame

lets just say that u can complete campaign with almost anything

[cobalt mulch]

A man can dream :(

[soft rock]

Just play the game and find out. Respecing your characters are super easy in this game

[wide sentinel]

i mean i saw dread playing melee necromancer with harvest

[soft rock]

Lol

[wide sentinel]

have no idea how that panned out

[soft rock]

Just think carefully when you get to choose your specialization @cobalt mulch

The one thing you can't change about your character

Idk why that's not a thing. Even POE let's you change it lol.

[rough reef]

Anyone mind helping me kill Black sun empowered boss?

[lusty idol]

is there an easy class that would be recommended for 1st character?

[stoic tendon]

Hi, is there a way I can join a group for XP without doing the campaign please ? Because i'm waiting on a friend.
Dungeons / Arenas / something ? I'm lvl31. What should I post in LFG channel ?
Thanks

[icy drift]

You'll wanna ask to tag along on some echoes in the LFG channel

[stoic tendon]

Thanks, are echoes for my lvl ?

I don't even know what those are yet xd

[icy drift]

No they'll be a lot higher than your level, you'll practically get boosted a bit

[stoic tendon]

ah, i'll do that then, if there is no other content i can do for my level (which i'd prefere)

is there such ?

[icy drift]

Just the campaign pretty much

[umbral mango]

+% to minion damage would apply to all minion damage including minion dots correct?

[icy drift]

Yes

[stoic tendon]

no level is indicated but i got this for example :

[icy drift]

It could be your level but it won't grant that much xp, it can be used as a mini campaign skip though

[torpid zinc]

If i have a unique with lets say 2 LP can i combine it with an item with only 2 affixes in order to get the 2 i want on the legendary guaranteed?

[buoyant sinew]

you have to use an exalted item with 4 affixes (excluding sealed)

[torpid zinc]

does sealed mean i can get more than 4 on the legendary?

[buoyant sinew]

no, making a legendary completely ignores sealed affixes

[torpid zinc]

ah ok

so if i only have 1 LP then it's basically 1 in 4 on hitting the mod i want?

[buoyant sinew]

yep

welcome to the legendary grind

[torpid zinc]

lol yea it's w/e i got 12k hours in PoE im just trying to make sure i have an understanding of the mechanics

[keen arrow]

anyone have a good class showcase video to watch?

[umbral mango]

does anyone know if feather knives under falcon is a minion spell?

also does the leech from scalebane grimace apply to minion damage

[torpid zinc]

when an item drops in a monolith, if i die, i can't like go back in and grab that item right? what about in party play?

[faint cape]

It's a throwing attack

[faint cape]

No

[faint cape]

Right, you cannot. If your party is still in there and re-entry is allowed, yeah you can go back in.

[torpid zinc]

i really hope they allow party progression in full release, or shortly after

[faint cape]

I don't remember if it wipes the floor when you leave and re-enter, I don't think it does

[faint cape]

It's allowed right now, so probably?

unless you mean corruption, in which case probably not

[misty laurel]

how do i remap keys for skills?

[candid elm]

There's a keybind section in the settings. It works ok if I remember correctly. If you're using a controller, you can also use Steam Overlay Controller settings

[misty laurel]

keyboard only. dont see anything under Settings

[candid elm]

I'll go load up the game and check where it's located

[misty laurel]

i see Gameplay, Graphics, Sound, Social, Challenges, nothing for controls

ok found it under Gameplay

[misty laurel]

got it, thanks!

[candid elm]

Sorry, it was called Change Input Keys, not keybind

[misty laurel]

is there a way to see the entire dungeon map? the minimap cant zoom all the way out, and M only shows overworld map

[stuck grotto]

you can change the zoom on the map you bring up with tab in the settings if that helps at all

[shy turret]

i missed that change input keys button at first also

had to google. felt stupid. it was right there

but it seems as though not as intuitive as it should be

[misty laurel]

how to change the zoom on the Tab map? mouse wheel only zooms the game

[stuck grotto]

one sec lemme launch and ill let you know

[shy turret]

you can zoom out of the map, what

[weary dust]

Best farming for the peak of the mountain 2lp +

[weary dust]

Oh ok

Thanks

[hasty tartan]

What's most likely to get nerfed? Trying to plan builds for 1.0 but don't have patch notes, obviously.

[exotic estuary]

If I have some type of penetration on my amulet, that pen only applies to my damage and not minion damage, correct?

[hasty tartan]

Correct, I think.

[urban horizon]

Runic invocation is likely being nerfed although its more of a bugfix. Uh shadow daggers probably getting nerfed those have been strong for so long

[buoyant sinew]

other things that seem relatively likely to be nerfed — ward generation (especially Twisted Heart and the low life package), Ladle

anything else I can think of feels extremely speculative

[formal dust]

is it worth to complete this https://i.imgur.com/bDmL244.png or just take portal and go new one?

[buoyant sinew]

go next

much more efficient to objective rush

[near path]

extremely unlikely any serious nerfs are coming. I got a waffle-answer even on LL ward gen being nerfed, and that's one of the giga outliers in terms of power. So if THAT'S not guaranteed to be nerfed, nothing is

[formal dust]

So I can't see any of my armor or weapons on my characters, they're just in their underwear swinging an invisible weapon. Can't find anything about it in the bugs tab, you guys have anything on this?

[faint cape]

Uhh secret party mode? Try validating files on Steam, might help (or harm, depending on your perspective)

[stark ore]

Will long loading times be fixed at 21 february?

[rich meteor]

I'll give that a go

@faint cape That did it, thank you!

[barren plank]

Is anyone else experiencing the game not running in the past two days? I haven't had issues with it just not starting up until now and have had the game for about ten months give-or-take a few.

Nothing changed on my end that I can identify. Also verified game files. I'm going to try a fresh install next.

Actually, will try restarting Steam, since other games are having some cloud status issues.

Okay, yeah. It was forever trying and failing to sync to the Steam Cloud. TIL that can happen. Let this be a PSA for anyone who doesn't know, I guess...

[peak oracle]

experimental affixes are fully rng right? i cant get shards of them?

[barren plank]

You can get shards (bc of a glitch) but they are unusable.

[peak oracle]

lol alr

[barren plank]

I know because I've done it twice. Not to get those, but to get other ones that the item had. It ended up giving me the experimental ones, too. They just weren't usable.

[peak oracle]

so getting the experimental anyways is huge gamba for me, no need to plan around it ever

[sage iris]

i think they're not that rare to get

you can plan around one dropping and then crafting other stuff onto it

i think that's the general idea behind those items

[queen yarrow]

noob question: I see some runemaster specing into Static Orb How do they do it is they aren't a Sorcerer?

[peak oracle]

yeah i wouldnt know exactly how rare they are, but theres only 1 i would like at a quick glance atm

so yeah i wont plan around it unless im thinking BiS gear

[desert valve]

The Spirit Wolves ability says it scales with the stats of the wolf the spawned it -- does that include damage increases from temporary buffs, like Werebear's Wild Command?

[barren plank]

You can still put points into the Sorcerer tree as a Runemaster. The second half of the tree is just off limits.

[near path]

Since Spirit Wolves has a Minion tag, it should

[desert valve]

Sweet, thanks!

[queen yarrow]

I see. when did they added this?

[native sail]

Since at least 0.8, if not further back

[barren plank]

It's been like that ever since i started playing that I know of.

Which was at least 10 months ago.

Might have been more like a year and 10 months. lol I have bad memory for things like amounts of time.

[queen yarrow]

lol 90 hours in and only find out about this now. either that or bad memory

[barren plank]

Yeah, most builds dip into other trees at least a little bit.

[polar pendant]

Is there a way to see how many times you've died on a character?

[stable turret]

Are you considered Unarmed when you have no weapon but still have a shield on?

Yup. Unarmed just means no weapon.

[kindred gale]

as a newbie , the passive point and idol slot reward are earn per character via campaign quest and not shared across playmode correct?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[pseudo relic]

newish i got these dungeon keys are they worth doing?

[barren plank]

Yep. If you find the campaign dull or boring and don't want it to be a slog every time you start a new character, there are some wonderful fast-leveling guides out there made by multiple content creators. I'm not sure which, but I know either perry the Pig or Dr3adful have made one. I think Zizaran might have done, too. If he hasn't he will, believe me.

[kindred gale]

thanks Silver, will be first playthrough and not really interested in power level and then having no points and idols slot

Perry the Pig i heard is pretty good

i looked on maxroll but want to do the quest that give me either passive points or idols of course

[barren plank]

Dungeons are pretty rewarding content, yes. You can craft the best items in the Temporal Sanctum. Others have risk/reward style mechanics for their final reward, and the endless arena has a ladder you can compare your progress to others in (if you count that as a dungeon...I guess it actually isn't). I'm glossing over a lot of details here so I wont spoil too much for you.

[hollow root]

is the suggested level by the location on the map, accurate?
as I tried to go to the forest dungeon at 10+ levels higher than recommended and was obliterated (was playing as a Mage with Sorcerer mastery)

should i enable item filter for blue items but make exception for off class leveling.. playing paladin atm but would like to pickup low level gears for other class... or just not worth it

[desert tree]

No Blue items are not worth

[rough shuttle]

Are there any sites that offer broad filters without the need to make your own..

[desert tree]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

[rough shuttle]

Aaah cheers!

[neon topaz]

Can someone explain to me like 5 year old Exalted items? I know that their biggest value is having tier 6 - 7 affixes but in terms of crafting:

• those can be changed via runes/glyphs?
• if yes: they will become another t6-7 affix?
• if I shatter the item this affix becomes normal shard in forge?
• so general strategy is to fish for my desired t6-7 affix on such item and try to work with remaining affixes or wait for item with all good affixes and skip the rest?

[desert tree]

1. No, the t6-7 affix can not be modified (it can be removed though) but the rest of the item is craftable
3. A t6-7 affix is in fact 6 or 7 shards of a said affix
4. You are looking for a desired t6-7 and at least 1 other good affix. Once you get a bit more geared up you can be more picky and wait to have 2 good affixes

[neon topaz]

Ok, so I'm not as dumb as I thought. Thanks a lot!

[desert tree]

Glad I could help

[rough shuttle]

When it comes to crafting i noticed something about "Crafting Potential" Does this go up with item lvl.. or by anything or is it random? I noticed it upon trying to craft something.. but i kept running out before being able to finish said craft

[desert tree]

The higher the tiers of affixes you have on a items the more FP you will get

[rough shuttle]

Soo if i have an item with lets say a bunch of T1 affixes it'll be low.. But if it has a bunch of T5 affixes it'll be a good bit higher

[neon topaz]

Yeah, Generally higher rarity items will drop with more forging potential

[rough shuttle]

Good to know.. something else i was curious about i just finished campaign and reached these strange missions (end with boss or something) those are the monoliths people speak of correct?

[desert tree]

Once you start getting Exalted, you will get 30-50 FP

[neon topaz]

Yes

[desert tree]

Big floating islands ? Above a black hole ?

[rough shuttle]

Yep

[desert tree]

Yep

Have you done the 1st one ?

[rough shuttle]

I did a few.. and after doing a few i was able to do some special mission variant.. whatever that might mean

[desert tree]

Have you kill the 1st Boss ?

[rough shuttle]

I do believe so.

I presume for general progression / finding better gear i should just keep doing those

[desert tree]

Yep

[neon topaz]

• There are few "big" floating islands - those are "timelines".
• Each timeline have many little islands which upon completition give you "timeline stability" (progress bar above screen with islands).
• After reaching thresholds in this bar special quests are unlocked and doing all of them (in the last quest killling boss of this timeline) you will get "blessing".
• Blessings are passive, permanent buffs you can slot in special inventory tab.

I recommend watching this. It helped me understand many things about monoliths and endgame: https://youtu.be/zmpZ6-tY1qY?si=66-CZ6R7XYEOl6P3

[rough shuttle]

Lovely one of my questions would of been how to get blessings.. I was also curious as to what would give me all my idol slots.. Though i suspect its because i didn't do every side quest.

[neon topaz]

idol slots are gained during campaign only

[desert tree]

Yeah Idols slots and Passives pts are from Side Quests

[rough shuttle]

Seems i'll need todo some backtracking. good to know!

[silent pagoda]

is this ladder legit? how long it take to do this arena o.o

Ow btw is there anywhere i could check where certain items drop? like unique's to be specific wanting to work towards a certain build that requires 3. I was hoping to find out if i had todo a specific mission. or if i could make use of those monoliths in some way.

[desert tree]

Dont know about the RM, but the guy is very dedicated

[native sail]

Vast majority of uniques are global drops

[neon topaz]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/

[rough shuttle]

So when it states that its a global drop. i can use monoliths with some sort of target farming? If it states something specific i'll need to look for that specific boss or area?

[silent pagoda]

ahhh

[neon topaz]

Correct

[silent pagoda]

so many bug :<

all fixed in 1.0 ?

[native sail]

That one for sure

[neon topaz]

most of them for sure

[native sail]

As in we already know a linchpin of the interaction is getting nuked

[dusky kite]

And that's a problem. If you join a server and are immediately an asshole, pehrpas you also need to be immediately slapped for it. Otherwise the server devolves into a toxic cesspool infested with trolls of the lowest denomination.

[silent pagoda]

godbless

[native sail]

Oh no he brought it back...
Fear.

[light axle]

Newbie question, what does the pet for in the buddle that they sold together? Is it usefull?

[neon topaz]

It's only cosmetic

[rough shuttle]

Only cosmetic

[light axle]

I see, so it does not have effect like auto pick up loot etc.

[native sail]

They will never sell anything that gives power or convenience

[neon topaz]

Correct

[rough shuttle]

They stated they had no interntion of making pets functional.

[neon topaz]

God I hope so

[rough shuttle]

Going back to 1.0 I do wonder what will happen to silly ward builds on RM

[native sail]

I believe them. They'd taint their image in an instant. And almost everybody who works on the game comes from a background of playing this genre. They're smart enough.

[desert tree]

I hope

[rough shuttle]

Wut?

[desert tree]

I hope all thoses silly ward build get nuked

[native sail]

Unrelated, I beat Leo's EHP on a Falconer with so much less effort.

[native sail]

It's okay, he helps me cook now

[rough shuttle]

I've been quite enjoying the ward generation on my first run with RM. its been enjoyable though i do hope it'll remain fun.. and not turn it into some silly squishy af class.

[topaz mason]

i cant choose a class to play on launch always the hardest choice!

[neon topaz]

Ward as mechanics is safe. They will fix bugs related to it which are leading to exploits

[desert tree]

Generating ward is not an issue imo. Reaching 15k-30k ward on a legit build is the problem

Maybe the Ward Decay Formula needs to be adressed

[dusky kite]

lol wut mate, where do you even find these kinds of people

[wide sentinel]

watch it getting buffed on 1,0 mark my words

🙂

[dusky kite]

oopsie

the optics are pretty bad here chief

[wide sentinel]

we already have LL support on both warlock and falconer

🙂

[rough shuttle]

Like the frostclaw build on RM. the absolute insane amount of ward it gains.. It'd still be more then viable with like 25% of its ward..

[native sail]

[rough shuttle]

Its the build i was hoping to try and achieve before 1.0 or hopefully play in 1.0

[native sail]

RM is bonkers

It has so many generic DR sources

[rough shuttle]

I noticed it seemed quite tanky.. though it must have some falloff compared to other builds. perhaps a dps ceiling that isn't as high as others?

[native sail]

Haha no

[rough shuttle]

Seems it may indeed be getting nukes if thats the case.. how very unfortunate. Seems i'm doomed to perhaps play a nuked class

[native sail]

I doubt it. They seemed to be mostly happy with RM.

[sterile widget]

Just play forge guard. Pre-nuked.

[native sail]

TRUE

[wide sentinel]

i think rm and rogue should be locked behind leveling forge guard to 100 on a melee build,not minions

[sterile widget]

🔥

Make it so!

[rough shuttle]

Thats a good sign atleast

[proper valve]

helo, are the delux and ultimate edition will be gone when this game release 1.0 ?

[native sail]

Hey. My first 100 was a Pally. I earned my BD.

[wide sentinel]

people are clueless when their first class is rm or rogue

[native sail]

Nope just one single cosmetic is leaving.

[neon topaz]

Pally is bae

[proper valve]

which is ?

[native sail]

Also, I don't play LL BD

[native sail]

Golden Guppy (if you own the game at all you have it though)

[acoustic thicket]

can someone help, im doing a mission called survive lagons trial, i've been in here killing crabs and tentacles for 45MINUTES! wtf is this suppose to be, am i missing something it's not suppose to take this long wtf

[proper valve]

ah thx for the info @native sail

[native sail]

Np

[sterile widget]

My first character was a Forge Guard and my most recent character is a Forge Guard. I am a Forge Guard enjoyer

(Yes I have other characters :D)

[neon topaz]

also Forge Guards?

[sterile widget]

Mebbe

At least one spellblade

[rough shuttle]

the others forge guards

[sterile widget]

?? You are in Lagons arena fighting him and then got teleported to the area with waves and mobs and tentacles ?

[acoustic thicket]

yes and it's been like 45min and im still killing crabs and tentacles

and the mission said, kill lagons tentacles

how many?

[sterile widget]

This sounds like a horrible bug.

[acoustic thicket]

i've killed like 2k by now lol

[sterile widget]

You kill a few (10?) Tentacles and the moon is filling up and then it teleports you back up to the platform

[acoustic thicket]

nah its 100% bugged then

[sterile widget]

If that didn't happen, I'd recommend TPing out and trying the fight again

I am impressed with your fortitude

Much patience, you have

Best of luck with the fight. Hopefully the bug doesn't persist the second time around 😅

You can report it in-game btw

[rough shuttle]

It ended up lasting about 5-10min for me.

[acoustic thicket]

i actually noticed how long it was cause i started a brand new episode of "Reacher" and the episode was 45min, i watched it start to end during the fight lol

[sterile widget]

Fark

😄

This would only be more hilarious if you were watching 24

[neon topaz]

damn son

[rough shuttle]

I was actually suprised by the fact that the last parts of the campaign were harder then monoliths to this point

[sterile widget]

Chap 8 and 9 are definitely not a free ride

[dusky kite]

not a you problem, the game should throw an error but currently doesn't due to a bug. This happens with any other skill that has weapon requirements too.

[rough shuttle]

I noticed that.. though i was getting hard carried by the current ward system on RM

[dusky kite]

you unlocked the secret hard mode /s

[neon topaz]

The one gripe I have with campaign is|| that it ended so.... unexpectedly. I was doing quests, bosses, gathering blessings for that spear and when I got all of them and killed Majasa it "skipped" to Monoliths. No epic "last boss" fight or some narrative epilogue leading to endgame. That smooth transition was very well made imo but lack of clear ending to story was wierd for me but I'm fine with it.|| I love this game as it is now.

[dusky kite]

It's hardly a spoiler. It's not a secret that the campaign is currently incomplete and ends at chapter 9 out of planned 12.

Obviously most major plot lines are currently unresolved

[rough shuttle]

I kinda just ended up killing this random boss thing.. and boom it told me i was done..

[neon topaz]

Oh, I didn't know that

[pulsar veldt]

Will the chapters release with 1.0 or in a later update?

[sterile widget]

Yah, it isn't super obvious in game, but chap 10 - 12 are still coming

[neon topaz]

That explain things

[sterile widget]

Probably not at 1.0

[rough shuttle]

Soo there will be another 3 chapters... An even longer "tutorial" to run thru

[dusky kite]

not in 1.0, they officially said that it won't be coming in this patch

[pulsar veldt]

Alr

[sterile widget]

Given how challenging chap 9 can be for some folks, I suspect 10 - 12 will probably avoid the moniker tutorial 🙂

11 and 12 have been post-1.0 for some time. There was still some uncertainty about chap 10 until reasonably recently, but I believe Mike confirmed it was out (of scope for release 1.0) in the past couple months

[rough shuttle]

Chap 9 was indeed quite a hell for my first run. the only reason i got thru it is because i could stay alive and slowly eat away at the boss their health.. If i didn't have the tankiness that i did i doubt i would of had such a good time

[neon topaz]

For me honestly bosses are great. I expect NOT to blaze through everything and bosses are good skill check. I have good clear speed but needed to learn patterns and attacks to mitigate damage and not facetank everything.

[dusky kite]

The only problem with chapter 9 is that we didn't get a mono timeline with a Majasa fight. And they have been suspiciously dodgy on this point ever since.

[neon topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/coincidence-i-think-not-coincidence-i-think-not-the-incredibles-gif-5096707

[rough shuttle]

An understandable position to take. I would probably share your sentiment if i had more time on my hands to play the game in general. though with my limited time its been lovely to be able to atleast tank a bit

[silent pagoda]

anyone can help , keep dying in empowered monolith

[peak orbit]

crit strike avoidance is 0%

[dapper swift]

Chapter 9 on my first try of the game rekt me very hard, you can't really dodge her on the second phase

[peak orbit]

try to cap crit strike avoidance > endurance > resistances in that order

[dapper swift]

I guess dodge is higher with shrouds right?

[neon topaz]

also only 1k health? I had almost 2k at campaign ending and had hard times

[dusky kite]

mm is one of the most glass cannony classes in the game but you have extremely low health to begin with

[peak orbit]

1k hp is too low

for a rogue who is generally glass cannony by definition , you need to work on defenses as damage comes more naturally for rogues

[dusky kite]

it's also not obvious from the screenshot but you need to stack other defensive layers than health and resists too. In addition to the already mentioned crit avoid you should consider things like dodge, glancing blow, various unique mechancis on rogue (silver shroud or whatver it was called), damage reduction passives or items, frailty for bosses etc

[acoustic thicket]

what do those throns do?

[neon topaz]

damage comes more naturally for every class. You can't deal damage if you are dead

[dusky kite]

it's a melee minion that slaps mobs

[silent pagoda]

is this stat important? i still dont know how enemies crit work, and endurance stat as well

[silent pagoda]

tbh idk how this class work yet lol, this my 2nd day

[acoustic thicket]

[peak orbit]

endurance means after your hp is below the endurance threshold, you get min 20% damage reduction, capped up to 60%

[silent pagoda]

ah, cos when i was doing the lv 90 timeline, feels like a breeze, when i come to empo monolith, feels the difficulty jumping so high

[peak orbit]

crit strike avoidance means you have that % chance of converting crit strike to normal strike, so if you have 100% avoidance, you never get hit by crit strikes

[silent pagoda]

is this even good? like cos most enemies hit so hard, and my end threshold so low

[peak orbit]

it is very good to not get one shot

you need combo of crit strik avoidance and endurance together

[silent pagoda]

lets say my threshold 500, my current hp is at 600, and enemies hit for 700, i just insta ded right?

even with 100% endurance

[surreal verge]

Nope, endurance is reactive

[peak orbit]

with crit strike avoidance, you get 1 shot so it doesnt matter how much endurance you got

[silent pagoda]

ahhhhhh holy ok thats good then

[surreal verge]

But it has a 60% cap

[silent pagoda]

this applies for all class right? i play with my friend also, mage n druid

[neon topaz]

yes, all classes

[surreal verge]

You don't run endurance if you're playing ward.

Otherwise yes

[neon topaz]

I stand corrected

[surreal verge]

Endurance doesn't cover ward.

Only affects health

[peak orbit]

you lose 200 (700 - 500) + and the remaining damage (700-200 = 500) is reduced by 60% if capped so that would be (200 + 40% of 500) instead of 700

[silent pagoda]

oh wait resistance is least prio ?

[steel merlin]

to an extent, aim around 60 first

[peak orbit]

you dont have to cap all res with gear affixes, you also get buffs while using certain skills , going above cap is not the most important concern as of now

[surreal verge]

Okay.
In LE defenses are king, this is the general order:
Health.
Crit Avoid/Less Crit damage taken
Endurance (If not playing ward)
Ward (If playing ward)
Resistances (60%+-)
Armour/Dodge/Block/Glancing Blow/Etc.

[dapper swift]

currently you have enough now already to cap them all

[dusky kite]

on rogue/mm, probably not

[silent pagoda]

yeah but when im going to care about endu n crit avoid will screw my res number haha

[neon topaz]

for crit avoidance you can get Grand Survival of Might Blessing which adds +(50% to 70%) Critical Strike Avoidance

you can skip that part on gear that way

[dapper swift]

Rogue should have something inside the passive tree about crit avoid, yep 35% on the Marksman Tree

[silent pagoda]

kk i'll just use woven for now then

[silent pagoda]

where u put crit avoid n endurance btw?

[surreal verge]

Right, crit avoid.

[dapper swift]

Gloves, Helmet, Shield, Ring, Belt, Relic for Endurance, but they kinda share the same gear places

[peak orbit]

you can trade off for now, use certain idols to come close to cap res, you can cap crit strike and endurance mostly only with gear affixes while res has multiple sources

[dapper swift]

Also there is a glove that has "t5" endurance as the explicit

when you can, look at the various base gear there is and see what is the most beneficial, some will help with capping endurance, crit avoid, res for example.

[silent pagoda]

ah okok, very helpful guys, what an active community xD

thanks a lot, i'll look into it more

[peak orbit]

tldr: focus on health, endurance and crit strik avoidance, then use idols for specific res depending on which timeline, boss you're farming

[rough shuttle]

At what stage do you get your hands on crit avoidance? / more Res. is this from blessings. Seeing as i noticed someone state a blessing that could yield upto 30% crit avoidance. to which i presume the remaining 30 can be achieved on gear for 100%. Besides that do we get resistences on blessings aswell or on idols? maybe gear?. Apart from that blessings are they set in stone or is it something you can roll.

[peak orbit]

you can get void res, physical res with blessings

[surreal verge]

Yes,they're from blessings, each monolith has a fixed pool and a random roll.

[peak orbit]

you get all res from idols as well

[surreal verge]

You can also get all res from blessings as well.

And armour

And block

[rough shuttle]

I see, i'll first have to look into how to even unlock said blessing slots. apart from that i'll have to pick certain good blessings then i guess

[surreal verge]

Slots are always there, you just gotta clear monoliths for them.

[dapper swift]

Also some blessing helps in target farming than character power, I think it all the optional ones you don't need to get to empowered monos?

[rough shuttle]

Ow i see. guess i'll need to keep going for those monoliths. (i'll probably first do a lil more research. )

[peak orbit]

If you're really struggling with empowered, just do normal monos and farm required blessings and then move to empowered especially if you're very low level

[keen star]

have they mentioned fixing "pre-loading" into new areas sometimes taking over 10s? It's a preeetty long load time (also a couple of seconds extra in loading screen) and feels buggy as you can move but not really do stuff?

[edgy thicket]

When trying to ramp corruption as fast as possible, how do you best manage gazes? It's my understanding that when you beat a timeliness boss you get a gaze, and that will give a bonus to the corruption gained when you kill ory. Do you even store more than one gaze? Or do you shoot for a certain amount of +corruption before fighting?

The intent of this question is to minimize the time it takes to get to 200 corruption so I can farm blessings

[peak orbit]

stack gaze, and beat ory at low level corruption to jump more levels

[edgy thicket]

But there is a tipping point when you want to stop farming gazes and actually kill ory

Or do you just alternate?

[peak orbit]

that tipping point is most likely dependent on how good your build is, if you can survive high corruptions, the best way is to stack gazes and jump more levels

also if you want to farm ory while under 200 corruption for his loot drops thats a different thing altogether

[edgy thicket]

I see. Ty

[open sierra]

Anyone of you know why the game is running my 2070 at 90% for the character selection menu?

[hollow timber]

With the new update will there be a wipe?

[peak orbit]

your character will move to "legacy" similar to "eternal" realm in d4

the "cycle" realm will be fresh and empty

[slender grove]

are these rare or common?

[dusky kite]

they did mention fixing it. They also fixed it at least 5 or 6 times by now, with results that you can check out for yourself in-game

SOE style fixes

[open sierra]

Use LastEpochtools.com, it says Common

[dusky kite]

I'm pretty sure that you can only accumulate gazes until +50 corruption and it stops giving you more after that

[edgy thicket]

Ahhh, interesting. Some sort of cap would make sense

[dusky kite]

bad optimization, not sure what other answer you expected tbh

[edgy thicket]

That's when the devs use your gpu to mine bitcoin

[open sierra]

Was feeling the waters on whether its something known and to be fixed or rather typical Unity Indie behavior (it does feel like either the engine or the devs for it are often poorly optimized even on a basic level)

[dusky kite]

WW items are among the most common uniques, which is obviously countermanded by having to roll good affixes to have a worthwhile item

[dusky kite]

They acknowledged it and said they are working on optimization. Their previous optimization pass back in 0.9 wasn't that bad so there is hope here. Probably. Some of it.

[open sierra]

Thats good to hear

[rough shuttle]

Seems i wasn't the only one that saw a raise in gpu usage in certain parts of the game

[dusky kite]

Let's just say that some zones like that uh, verdant mire? blooming mire? How was it called again? Gave people -150 FPS

[edgy thicket]

Burning forest too

[dusky kite]

It's still not great but obviously not 5-15 FPS bad

yea and some parts of ruined welryn too

[open sierra]

Yeah it overall feels like its too much for what you see but thats expected for a beta, just concerned for the Menu since that reeks of bad engineering

[dusky kite]

the mono map

[rough shuttle]

I never had it actually lagg on me or make any noticable impact on my gameplay. Its just that it was noticeable in usage shooting up. though i guess this could be different depending per person and overall specs

[edgy thicket]

The game is way better than the pre 0.9 days, but there is still work to be done

[open sierra]

Only have seen two cases of CPU stutter so far, shard pickups and removing items from the forge. Guess both of those are known

[silent pagoda]

guys when u navigating empo monolith, did u only care about the reward or the enemy mod also?

[open sierra]

Below 200 corr I have never even looked at enemy mods so far ^^ (but not playing Hardcore)

Will there be anything that carriers over from legacy to season (like Hideout access in POE) that I could achieve before the release?

[peak orbit]

Not even before going to a boss?

[dusky kite]

at high enough corruption you'll inevitably start to care about enemy modifiers. Do note that those modifiers are getting massively nerfed in 1.0

[peak orbit]

I plan my mods before going into a boss especially if I am still gearing up

[dusky kite]

Also some modifiers can be quite bad to give to bosses like say enrage at half health cause it doubles their ability cast speed

[open sierra]

As in less impactfull?

[dusky kite]

making dodging some shit problematic or impossible

[silent pagoda]

oh? why they getting nerfed 😮

[open sierra]

So far all my Boss problems came down to learning their mechanics (as I said low corruption, new player)

[dusky kite]

Cause right now most of the difficulty in mono is tied not to your corruption itself but to the modifiers you choose, and they want to make it primarily tied to the corruption level

[peak orbit]

Probably nerfing to reduce the grind since monos is the main source of endgame rn

[dusky kite]

To mitigate the severe difficulty swings from modifiers that can be highly variable

[dusky kite]

That too but it's a separate issue

For that, they are compressing corruption scaling

[silent pagoda]

ahh thats kinda bummer

but glad it will be changed 1.0

[dusky kite]

You just haven't run into it enough but it's a significant problem, and also one that is completely opaque without knowing the exact details of how mods and scaling work

Which you have no way to learn from just playing the game

Without relying on datamining and developer info

[peak orbit]

they both work together, hopefully what it means for us is - smoother progression towards higher corruption

Still waiting for patch notes

I am pretty convinced what I wanna play on day 1 but I want to be sure

[dusky kite]

I mean obviously they are facets of the same system but they aren't really tied together, the grind problem could be alleviated just by increasing sources of corruption by a factor of 2-5 and that wouldn't address the scaling issues for echo mods

[ancient kelp]

Can anyone help, im trying to locate my offline character saves location, in Last Epoch file i cant seem to see them

[maiden path]

Any known performance issues right now? Game just crashed 2x in one hour of gaming :/

Running on a 7900 xtx with updated drivers

[dusky kite]

Too many to count. Memory leaks, bad optimization, poor netcode, etc

[maiden path]

Oh okay. Had no issues the two days before but damn

[peak orbit]

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[ancient kelp]

Is there a reason I wouldn't have Users in my C drive?

[peak orbit]

I missed one part, is the ssf trade faction available for offline play?

[peak orbit]

You will have Users wherever the OS is installed

[rough shuttle]

This may sound silly but have you verified your files.

[edgy thicket]

I haven't had a crash in forever...are you sure your cpu or gpu is not overheating?

[silent pagoda]

exalted item value cant be changed?

[ancient kelp]

Interesting, I have no AppData in my file.

[peak orbit]

It might be hidden

Type AppData in the file path editor directly

Or change visibility

[rough shuttle]

I've had some crashes recently. I doubt it'd be my specifications. though it could be a strange interaction with new components / firmware attempting to work with what i presume isn't new code

[ancient kelp]

Im dumb, thanks. Not use to Windows dev / file space

[peak orbit]

I haven't had a single crash so far, I had few frame drops while playing on Ultra settings so I dropped it to Very High since the differences are not really noticeable to me

I also have only played Offline so far

[rough shuttle]

Perhaps its the difference between online / offline play.

[edgy thicket]

Yes

The merchants guild too weirdly enough, but nobody will pick it

[peak orbit]

Lol merchants guild wouldn't make any sense in offline

[edgy thicket]

Tell me about it. But kain confirmed both will be available offline

[surreal verge]

There is ONE possible reason:
Each faction has their own faction shop that has exclusive item bases.

[next wadi]

How can I know which chapter I'm in if I have a bug about giving it esc to see it there?

[jaunty verge]

is everyhting gonna go away on launch ?

[steel merlin]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362

[jaunty verge]

but thats like the one that isnt season right ?

will it have a season right off the bat ?

[surreal verge]

1.0 will come with a season with no seasonal mechanics.

[jaunty verge]

so if u still wanna play for that season u wontb e able to use that char u prog now

or not ?

[steel merlin]

I thought the faq had all the relevant info o.O

[silent pagoda]

item like this means drop from all content (?)

[jaunty verge]

ye re-read what u send me and i guess u wont be able to be on ladder then with that char

all good o7

[surreal verge]

You cannot, all current chars will be sent to standard/legacy

[surreal verge]

Yes

[silent pagoda]

ok tyy

[jaunty verge]

sounsd great then i will just casually continue my old char now till release

[steel merlin]

Sir, hide your fav bar when posting on an official server

[maiden path]

Ill try to verify my files. Although I am not sure if it would help with the issue you stated.

[maiden path]

Yes temps are totally fine

Running on high settings with 160 fps cap

[edgy thicket]

yeah, weird, worst I've experienced lately is fps drops in certain areas

[peak orbit]

In the trade faction, the game decides the favor cost to list an item based off affixes and other logic, but how is the gold economy controlled?

[edgy thicket]

are you getting kicked right to desktop or is a unity crash handler showing up?

[ancient kelp]

Anyones cosmetics reset each time the log out online?

[rough shuttle]

It most likely won't work with the crashes i have encountered. Though my own issues are a seperate situation seeing as my pc is built using a custom BIOS. (this doesn't mean it couldn't help with yours)

My reasoning for mentioning verifying files is because i've had some previous issues with steam games where some missing files starter a rollercoaster of issues resulting in my crashes

[maiden path]

Just straight to desktop without any popup

[surreal verge]

By the players setting the price, and the worth of burning hold in lightless arbor instead.

[maiden path]

Ill try that if the crashes keep happening. And maybe also a clean reinstall if that doesnt help.

[peak orbit]

I hope people dont go all crazy like how they do in D4

[dusky kite]

not sure what you are asking here but no, you can't interact with the exalted affix via crafting

[rough shuttle]

Games sometimes are a little silly when it comes to Error's. It might be the case that the cause of your errors are different from what's causing crashes.

[edgy thicket]

outside of sending any error log file or player log file to support I can't think of anything outside of regular troubleshooting. good luck

https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805192629-The-Game-s-Log-File

[rough shuttle]

I have yet to check myself but does LE store their crash logs local on the desktop. If thats the case i might be able to get some info out of it.

[edgy thicket]

it stores up to the last two sessions I believe

[dusky kite]

you better not see my fav bar

[rough shuttle]

It could be worth looking at.

[peak orbit]

Now I want to see it

[rough shuttle]

Show us the cursed bar

[maiden path]

Ty I found the game logs. But I cant make any sense of it. Ill try to send them in to the support.

[rough shuttle]

Can u link them in here?

[dapper swift]

Some recolors are equal to actual rarity colors right? Red seems really alike Legendary

[zealous orchid]

Do we know the exact time of release on the 21st?

[late plaza]

@zealous orchid 11 AM CST

[dusky kite]

yea the color selection is fairly limited now

[dapper swift]

Not a problem tbh, just making sure so I don't mistakenly color the same as some

[desert tree]

#news message

Should show in your timezone

[tranquil pike]

So I entered the PC giveaway contest and after reading the comments on that post I've been worried about Starforge doing shady things with my information. I guess I kind of just trusted it implicitly because of the Last Epoch name attached to it. Should I change my passwords or use any other security measures? Am I overreacting?

[severe fjord]

overreacting

all your info is already out there

I have it

[tranquil pike]

lmao

[icy drift]

you legit are tbh, their terms of use are the least shady they can be and the permissions they ask of your twitch account are basically the bare minimum to make sure it's a real account lol

[rough crystal]

Is the numlock auto casting thingy an intended feature?

[wicked plover]

it is allowed to use, lets put it that way

[rough crystal]

I am assuming that its on the "bug turned feature" category. Are we expecting a fix on it or anything anytime soon?

[wicked plover]

it's not a bug

but they would much rather design skills in a way that you wouldnt have to use it in an auto cast scenario than prohibit it

[icy drift]

it's a windows bug, not a game bug

[rough crystal]

It isn't? Wait, don't tell me numlock's function is made that way?

[icy drift]

yes

it's just how windows works

/ keyboard drivers

idk which tbh

[wicked plover]

its been around for forever

[rough crystal]

Heck, all this time I assume numlock function is to allow you to use/not use the numpad.

[icy drift]

it is

[rough crystal]

I see, anyway I asked because I saw a video which mentions about using numlock to autocast skill.

Thanks by the way.

[wicked plover]

it just simply doesnt let go of your input when you disable it

[icy drift]

as far as ehg and the game is concerned it's the same as you holding the button down

or putting a weight on it

[rough crystal]

Right, I got the picture on how it works. Thanks!

[foggy hearth]

making a loot filter. can i filter on LP or WW? if so, how, i don't see an option to do so

[wicked plover]

nah

[foggy hearth]

damn, would be useful

[magic stream]

anyone else observing button presses not getting registered occasionally? especially during fps drops?

[peak orbit]

i dont see why you want to go that strict

if you get multiple versions of the same unique, pick one which has better affixes and store the others inside

[foggy hearth]

i'm playing SSF. i only show uniques that have at least 2 of the few mods i'm interested in. but i don't want to lose out on LP or WW's

but i guess i'm gonna show them all and check them

[peak orbit]

i play ssf too, but i like to hoard uniques nothing else lol

do you plan to play offline or ssf online for 1.0?

[foggy hearth]

not sure yet. online doesnt offer much for ssf i guess

[peak orbit]

oh right since offline also has the faction

[steel merlin]

What do you mean uniques with the mods you want

[wicked plover]

uniques have mods that you wouldnt find on any other item so not sure if filtering that way would be succesfull

[peak orbit]

with LP or WW not mods

[wicked plover]

just put a rule show/recolor uniques above others and check manually for lp

[foggy hearth]

yea, will do that

[steel merlin]

No lordeddard look at his comment

[peak orbit]

oh right lol, they always have the same mods

yeah just get them all and choose the one with better mod values

[stark storm]

okay so i have a question about damage comversion stuff because it confuses me Does converted damage show in character stats for example i change a skill to have its damage converted from lightning to fire IF i stack lightning damage does it show up as fire damage in my character stats or not like does that change the value of X% added fire damage

its weird to explain XD

[wicked plover]

conversion works on the skill only
so you cant change % fire damage on your weapon to % lightning damage
you need gear with lightning damage then

[peak orbit]

%lightning dmg will apply to ur converted fire dmg

[steel merlin]

No

[dusty token]

How should I proceed crafting this? use glyph of despair ?

[steel merlin]

That's not how it works here

[peak orbit]

[steel merlin]

Serfax is right

[stark storm]

i am so confused about this DX

[wicked plover]

depends on the build you want to use it on? many options
maybe use spell crit, or use any type of dmg penetration and try to seal it on t4 or t5

[peak orbit]

so if i had %lightning dmg all this time and my skill changed to fire dmg due to a mod, it would scale off %fire dmg now?

[wicked plover]

but your fp is low so maybe just go the safe route

[steel merlin]

yes, it swaps the scaling

not convert

[dapper swift]

on void res? I guess if you don't need it but do you also need another suffix?

[dusky kite]

no, a conversion modifies the skill, not your character's stats. And the converted skills will only scale with the stats relevant post-conversion, so if you convert a skill from lightning to fire, it stops scaling with your lightning stats

[dusty token]

i need throwing damage and armour shred

[dusky kite]

yes

[stark storm]

like i converted the danage of a certain skill to fire as it was originally lighting and its says all lightning damage is converted to fire damage and all chance to shock to ignite and when i use gear that has +percantage to shock it doesnt show up in my character stats as chance to ignite

[wicked plover]

then put throwing damage on, seal the void and put armor shred, but i would always prioritize prefix

[steel merlin]

ah thats because ist the ignite of your skill that is changed, not your ignite

[dusky kite]

character sheet won't show any conditional stats, like ignite on hit with fire spells for example

[dusty token]

rank up throwing dmg before sealing ?

[dusky kite]

or ignite chance with a specific skill

[wicked plover]

depends how lucky you are with fp

[stark storm]

it only shows your chance to ignite with basic attacks then or >

?

[steel merlin]

basically yes

your chance ot ignite with any unspecced skill

[steel merlin]

or specced but that doesnt change ignite chance

[stark storm]

so how is the best way to track how much damage and how high my chance to ignite with a particular skill is ?

[wicked plover]

is that t5 throwing damage

[dusty token]

yes

[steel merlin]

maths, dummies or playing the game

[wicked plover]

you will probaly have very low armour shred if you seal void, so you decide if thats worth it

14 fp is not much to work with to seal and t5 another affix

[dusty token]

need to level 70 for anyways now 😛

[wicked plover]

but great amulet already gz ^^ you can get shred on weapon as well

[dusty token]

got 91% on it

is there a cap ?

[wicked plover]

no cap, you just get more stacks per hit

so with 300% you get 3 stacks of armour shred in one instance

[dusty token]

okay, thanks

[dry island]

guys, for the paladin (more specifically, Prayer Aegis), what Heal means?

[knotty tinsel]

anything that restores your health but isn't Health Regeneration.

[dapper swift]

Snowdrift cold pen per freeze multi, doesn't care about effects like freeze multi per chill on gear?

[knotty tinsel]

if that misses any edge cases I have forgotten them in this moment

[quick turret]

Can i use the Compare items function to compare a weapon with my offhand when dual wielding (similar question for rings)

[knotty tinsel]

I believe that's been brought up before and the answer was "not yet, will be worked on in the future"

[surreal verge]

Nope

[desert tree]

99% sure it global FRM (the one you can see in your character sheet)

So no

[dapper swift]

Yeah makes sense with the wording already on it about specific skill tree freeze effect not counting

[midnight elm]

In 1.0 will movement be improved? So ive been watching a few videos and the movement seems like you're on ice or stuck in a bit of glue

[faint cape]

A lot of animations are getting updated, iirc. Not sure.

[dry island]

like leech?

[desert tree]

Leech is not a heal

Healing are effects that say "Heal"

Like Smite has a Heal component

Healing Hand

[knotty tinsel]

this is something worth adding to the game guide in my opinion

[desert tree]

Eterra's Blessing

[knotty tinsel]

heal and healing effectiveness are sort of self explanatory but best to clarify anyway.

[dire sun]

Whats the deal with rogues ranged abilities seemingly just mssing and going through enemies and not doing damage, anythinbg Im doing wrong?

[dusky kite]

not particularly self-explanatory actually. If anything, most of the effects you could suspect of being "healing" are not heals in game mechanic terms

[wicked plover]

known bug, gonna be fixed next week probably

[dusky kite]

Life leech? Not heal. Health regen? Not heal. +4 health on rive from the passive tree? Not a heal either.

[dire sun]

Ah ok, thank you

[desert tree]

None of them says "Heal" though

They are Life Recovery

[regal harbor]

When it is possible level-wise, to choose a specilization?

[toxic echo]

its not tied to level, its MSQ locked

normally around 15-20ish

really depends on your speed

but you cant miss it

[regal harbor]

Oh, I see. Thanks 🙂

I‘m pondering about trying a sentinel, started with a ranger

[toxic echo]

pretty much everything can get to endgame...so its very much just personal play flavor

[hollow timber]

Ah so it will be fresh start on a season/league
Thanks

[low dagger]

Noob question?
How does group play affect difficulty, XP or loot or does it?

[toxic echo]

only effect mobs HP

[knotty tinsel]

not a noob question at all

[toxic echo]

if you are not near the kill, you dont get the xp (about a screen and a half or so)

and in a party and same instance, you can gift loot to the other party members

[cinder sable]

Why verdant lakes tp doesn't activate

[toxic echo]

some are visually bugged...some are bugged bugged. check your map to see if its working or not

[cinder sable]

I mean I literally stand on top of it

Oh you mean if it's activated on the map

So if it's blue it means it's active?

[toxic echo]

yes

[turbid atlas]

There is no way that you can increase specific chance of LP? Or is this overall tied to rarity increase?

[toxic echo]

lol

[cinder sable]

Alright, thanks!

[toxic echo]

there really isnt a way to make more LP items drop

its a seperate system

rarity only helps with dropping more uniques, which then give you more chance of LP. kinda like buying more lottery tickets

[wicked plover]

after 1.0 corruption will affect lp chance, you will also have lp chance increase in the cof tree

[toxic echo]

in the near future, yes

[turbid atlas]

It’s like rarity rolls unique chance, then a seperate roll for LP chance

[turbid atlas]

Ohh yes, I forgot about that.

Thanks for clarifying

[toxic echo]

something like that, yeah

[crude jewel]

what does "directly casting" means?

all non-channeling skills?

[toxic echo]

it means you cast it, and not proccing it off another skill

channeled skills are still direct cast (at least the first instance of damage/animation)

[crude jewel]

oh i see, what can proc runic invocation?!

[toxic echo]

flame dash for sure

there might be other, idk off the top of my head

[crude jewel]

flame dash?

[toxic echo]

yes? the RM skill that turns you into a ball of fire?

[crude jewel]

flame rush

is it called k

[toxic echo]

close enough

[crude jewel]

ty

[remote mirage]

will there be a countdown in game chat for downtime?

[midnight elm]

When the merchants guild comes out, will there be an auction house to list items for people to buy?

[cedar locust]

Not that I know of though I'll ask!

[toxic echo]

its called the bazaar here, but yes

[desert tree]

21st Feb
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722/178

[dire sun]

Is there anything anyone would recommend I read or watch or do to improve general gameplay and controls?

[wicked plover]

i would recommend to use the ingame guide ( press G) to read up on stuff you are unsure about and dont know how it exactly works
ctrl+alt helps as well for detailed item description

[midnight elm]

So with these factions. What if i have a friend who takes the better loot faction, and i take the trading faction, If he gets good loot we could use the bypass item to trade it and i can then sell it and split money with him

[wicked plover]

that wont work

[desert tree]

CoF items cannot be traded

[wicked plover]

cannot be traded as in cannot be sold, you can still gift them to each other, but you would need the cof rank to use it

[midnight elm]

I just watched the trailer for it so im just giving a hypothetical, whats CoF? and why wont it work?

[wicked plover]

circle of fortune

[midnight elm]

Okay what are these items for?

Im just a little confused with the system and how it fully works

So if my friend is CoF and i join the MG, it says that you can save an item and use these resonance to trade it across?

[wicked plover]

no ressonance has nothing to do with the item factions

[midnight elm]

Ohh

[wicked plover]

normaly you can only gift items to players with which you were playing at the time

[desert tree]

Gifted not Traded

[midnight elm]

In the trailer it says something about saving items for a friend though

[wicked plover]

resonance lets you gift an item to a player who was not with you at the time of dropping the item

[midnight elm]

but they have to be the same faction?

[wicked plover]

so if you play with a friend alot
and you drop an item for them while you play alone
this lets you still gift it to them

[wicked plover]

items keep their faction tags
so if you are cof and your friend is mg he cant user your item

[desert cloak]

If I trigger harvest with the new chaos bolt node.... will it recover mana from the affix https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affix/acolyte_mana_gained_on_harvest_use ? Affix doesn't say "directly use"

[midnight elm]

So whats the resonane for? it says "used to gift an item and bypass normal gifting restrictions"

[surreal verge]

Loot faction earned items cannot be traded and will be marked as such

[silver rover]

normal gifting restrictions = they must have been there

[wicked plover]

i described it above

[silver rover]

it bypasses that by ... letting you give it to them when they arent with you

[midnight elm]

But they have to be the same faction?

to use it

or sell it (to sell theyd need to be in MG)

[surreal verge]

To sell an item, it must not have a "untradable" tag.
All items dropped while in CoF are marked with "untradable"

[silver rover]

resonances literally only exist so you can gift items to friends you play with if you happen to be playing solo sometimes

every other restriction exists independent of that

the items are faction exclusive by default so that exclusion still applies

[midnight elm]

Ahh okay i gotcha, appreciate the answers 😄

So theres no way for a CoF player to give a MG player an item?

or they can but it makes it untradeable

[surreal verge]

They can.
The item is ALREADY untradable by default.

[midnight elm]

OOOOOOOO

[surreal verge]

You can be in CoF, get item drops, then pass to another char in MG with the stash, and it'll still be untradable.

[midnight elm]

So being in CoF makes all items you loot untradeable instantly besides the chance to gift it to a friend?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[midnight elm]

oooo thats nice 😄 okay i just watched the trailer for the 1st time and was a bit confused with uit

[silver rover]

theyd have to swap to cof to equip it tho

the item is still locked to its faction

[dusky kite]

right now it isn't tied to anything other than zone level, which is 100 for all empowered monos. But in 1.0 it will have scaling with corruption and some COF faction bonuses

[midnight elm]

oo perfect, thank you 😄 this makes more sense now

[dusky kite]

1. You need to play together or use a resonance to gift the item
2. Most of the COF player's drops will be COF tagged, you cannot sell them
3. You cannot just trade arbitrary amounts of gold between players, and while you can sell any random item for some random sum, it will still involve a faction cost point which you only get by actually playing the game

So there are plenty of limitations

[silver rover]

yes the point is CoF gives you better rewards and MG lets you BUY better rewards from other players

letting you freely trade between the two would defeat the purpose so

[dusky kite]

no but if your item has a faction tag, it won't lose it after using a resonance

[midnight elm]

yeah im taking MG, i like the buying and selling part of games

thats fun for me haha, looting something good and then selling it for a good amount of gold, its a nice feelin

[amber cedar]

Loot filters stored offline/locally? Moving machines = lost loot filter. Is this going to remain the case after launch?

[fading cape]

offline mode is like single player, no leaderboards y?

[surreal verge]

ye

[fading cape]

some ppl say its alrdy kinda laggy in online and will be 10x worse on launch xd

[silver rover]

and offline can be modded and cheated on so pick your poison

[fading cape]

its laggy only when loading different location or laggy all the time?

[kindred gale]

failed to matchmate, and server issue on EU west?

[cursive delta]

Conection lost doing a monolith meh xd

[devout lichen]

maintenance?

[teal gate]

So, cof and tg are gonna be able to party together?

[kindred gale]

time for a break 🙂 didnt see any notification on login menu

[toxic echo]

party up yes

[teal gate]

But only personal loot right?

Another question, if you use glyph of ascendance, can you get lp unique?

[silver rover]

no you can still gift the items are just faction exclusive when they drop

[toxic echo]

personal loot, but you can gift. (but faction tags still remain). can ge tLP from runes, but lower chances

[tame pebble]

is there a way to play an online character offline?

[desert tree]

Nope

[tame pebble]

damn kinda weird ngl

is it an anti cheat precaution or just design choice?

[amber cedar]

Former

[dense root]

anti cheat. it is extremely easy to directly edit your character when you play offline

and they don’t want people editing in overpowered items and then having them online

[steady tide]

both

[dense root]

they also don’t really want you doing that and having them offline but at least at that point the only person you’re affecting is yourself

[eternal timber]

guys , is any item mods ( or anything else ) bugged or working in a wierd way or so ? - im totally new to the game , im playing a cold skele mage build thing . and i ve noticed that an idol that has *73% minion cold spell dmg , and a 2hand sword i was using with 185% minion spell dmg ... did not worth at all with my skele?

[fallen walrus]

at all? or just lower than what you imagined?

[surreal verge]

Yes, but lower odds

[wicked plover]

how did you notice that those things didnt work ? what did you expect to happen and what happened

[distant compass]

any login issues in the game right now?

[fallen walrus]

read #news

[faint cape]

See #news

[eternal timber]

@wicked plover i removed both items - 1 by 1 , and did a monolith more or less same with the others ( i also did that on the SAME monolith ). i also tried just going in and watching the dmg - AND resummoning the skele mage ... AND even leave game and go in again

[weary heart]

Can uniques roll at any level req randomly? Just curious how some people are getting these insane twink items

[steady tide]

I understand serwers are down so i cannot play online. But why cant i play offline?

[faint cape]

You can try against the dummies in the arena town, Champion's Gate

[weary heart]

Offline doesn't really come until 1.0

[faint cape]

No, they each have a fixed level req, so they make those insane twink items with those really low level uniques

[weary heart]

Ahh gotcha thanks

You can craft on the low level ones through sanctum as well too correct?

[faint cape]

Low level uniques are also generally easier to get LP on, which helps

[faint cape]

Yep, this is how they get the red stats on

[weary heart]

Awesome thanks

[winter stump]

any1 got issues logging in?

[smoky sable]

Any idea how to sort this issue out? I’ve been stuck on this screen for 20 minutes. Restarted the game and nothing works? It just won’t let me in 🥲

You already could afiak

yeah, so I totally missed the big button labeled "changed input keys". I've searched for it twice! selective blindness. thanks!

[tacit relic]

Oh maintenance

Is it wortht to start now? do i keep anything at release? i havent played EP before at all.

i started 4 days ago, def worth it, love this game

[smoky sable]

Ye so what happen to my character at release of 1.0? I only started playing yesterday

[honest fern]

@smoky sable

[granite cave]

You can continue your character(s) or decide to start a freh seasonal one

[smoky sable]

Thank you. Are they transferred to another server like in Poe or remain within the same ?

[honest fern]

Not 100% sure that was just the info another person provided when someone else asked the same question

[spiral zealot]

They'll stay where they are in the legacy/non-seasonal servers iirc

Servers down for maintenance. Back in an hourish

[umbral ibex]

If i buy this is it worth and is it multiplayer?

[sudden agate]

Ah ok even for offline play?

[spiral zealot]

Guess so, not working for me either

[vast agate]

got it

[minor vigil]

As a last epoch discord member I think the game is worth playing

There is multi

[umbral ibex]

is it better multi?

[molten atlas]

why all people while craftng are sealing the tier 1 affix instead of sth better?

[dire moss]

Do you guys think last epoch will add pvp at some point?

[minor vigil]

I prefer single player but that's just me

[storm blaze]

The offline play still checks the server before logging in
but after 1.0 it'll be fully offline

[minor vigil]

You're more likely to seal lower tier affixes

[umbral ibex]

might have to cop but why does it say its in early release when it was released in 2017

[molten atlas]

oh so its the percentage chance yea?

[minor vigil]

Yea there's documentation on it somewhere

[molten atlas]

but why cant people chaos it or just remove?

It's been in early access since then

what are the odds to drop a legendary potential item?

[quaint kettle]

why i cannot enter the game. its been loading since the i press the "play online" button.

[onyx atlas]

Hello guys,

If I am now leveling my character, 21 feb I need to create new one? (seasson char?) or everything is staying?

[molten atlas]

even is its tier 1?

[ebon beacon]

2h maintenance

[quaint kettle]

ohhh. how long more?

[surreal verge]

Unique dependant, some drop commonly, some are near impossible

[inner lichen]

you'll be able to continue playing this character in Legacy, to play in the new season you'll need to start over

[quaint cedar]

yes, for example I'm playing a build that needs atleast a T1 -spell mana cost to function so I seal it in a sceptre to get the slot open for another stat

[ebon beacon]

about 1 hour left

oh okay thanks a lot then
