[desert sequoia]

where can i find advice on hardcore? trying to decide between lightning chakram bladedancer or lightning bug druid... what's better for HC?

[low wren]

better internet is not going to magically shrink the distance between me and the EU servers, neither will a VPN

[hallow basin]

Does the bleed duration on Symbol of Demise have a cap? I know the bleed chance does but I'm not 100% sure on the duration part of the item.

[surreal verge]

If it's not listed, there isn't one.

[severe fjord]

I'll send you a duif, but send me back some biltong please

[low wren]

ahahah, birdping probably will be better ;-P

[honest sierra]

how do you guys know which damage is flat and which is increase?

[tough glacier]

• vs %

[tight violet]

flat damage is "+ X to...". Increase is "% increased"

[honest sierra]

i mean on affixes on the filter. why is the 'meele physical damage' affix flat and the 'physical damage' affix increase?

[tough glacier]

Dont really follow

[tight violet]

Well there is no affix that is "% physical melee". The filter lines up with all the shards. So you just have to kind of remember of flip back and forth between shards menu and filter menu

[honest sierra]

probably my explanation also sucks. oh ok so you're checking each affix in parallel, no way to tell from filter page

[tight violet]

Yeah, but there are few that are like that and they are kind of easy to remember as you craft more. Like I know "% physical melee damage" doesn't exist. So "Melee Physical Damage" has to be +. Same with all the melee mods. They are all flat. The % ones do not distinguish melee, spell, ranged or anything. They are all just % void, cold, lightning, etc.

[teal gate]

In the materials window it is shown on the right hand side, ADDED, or INCREASED

[honest sierra]

thank you very much. it's clear now

[latent rain]

is there away to get the information needed to write a tool like last epoch tools? or do i have to copy that by hand?

[tight violet]

Their api isn't up

https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/sections/1260802021429-Last-Epoch-s-Game-Data-API

[pulsar hedge]

Does the game have an option equivalent to Poe's "attack without moving"?

[tight violet]

in Gameplay there is an option at the top "Move to melee attack enemies that are out of range"

[pulsar hedge]

Ah yeah, found it. Cheers ❤️

[ripe bronze]

Can you switch back and forth from offline to online or you are bound to one at character creation? Also is it possible to pause the game in offline play?

[storm blaze]

Can't swap offline to online or the other way
would just open cheating

[dapper swift]

I think you can see Offline characters without having to reopen the client? But I don't think so, but yes you can pause the game

[wide star]

Do we know how co-oping works? Will it be the same as in D4 where if my friend is 1 quest behind he wont make any quest progress if on my session?

[rough shuttle]

Quest progression will be based upon quest step. Aka if you are in step 3 and you friend in step 1. he will not get progress upon your completion of step 3..

If you both are in step 1, and in the same area both will get progression upon finishing that step.

[sharp compass]

Let me see if I have this right: you can trade for an item from bazaar, which makes it no longer tradable. But it can be gifted with a resonance since it is equivalent to an item that dropped without your friend present?

[surreal verge]

No you can't. Online stays online and offline stays offline.

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[thorn oyster]

what level do you start to care for exalted drops only?

[rough shuttle]

According to the upgrading of your gear, if you have the normal stats.. then the next step would be unique or exalt.

[sleek lance]

I have 100 of the premium coins, what do you recomend i do with em fellas? (i genuinly don't care for most of the cosmetics i just felt like the game was too cheap)

[grand marten]

Is there such a thing as poe private leagues in last epoch? I.e. I don't want to play in open economy, or in self found, I wanted to only have trade available with friends

[neat violet]

wait for cosmetics that you do genuinely care for ^^

[outer mango]

wait for new cosmetics and buy some if you feel there is something fancy for you

[dapper swift]

Only use Resonance and play up to a group of 4? But no there isn't a private league

[snow pebble]

btw, how does online and offline characters work? are they locked to the chosen setting or can you switch between online and offline?

i would like to play ssf but have the ability to eventually brosf with friends

[sleek lance]

you can be circle of fortune (self found faction) and if you play with friends you get trade tokens for friends you played with specificly regardles of faction

[sleek lance]

offline characters stay offline, online characters stay online (i think)

[surreal verge]

Offline and online are seperate.

[rough shuttle]

Indeed. due to local saving within offline mode.. Offline stays offline and online stays online.

[snow pebble]

so if i would like to play brosf, i would play online ssf? if i understoond correctly

[sleek lance]

i think thats right (i haven't tried playing with anyone so i might be wrong)

[shell quartz]

what time game will be offline ?

[magic stream]

Trying to replicate this frost claw RM build:
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-runemaster-guide

I'm unable to cast the Reowyn's Frostguard. Whatever skill rotation I apply I always end up with cold, cold, fire runes. Even casting frost claw continuously results in these rune order.
What am I doing wrong?

[half moat]

If i create a HC SSF on release to "race" with friends, will a dead char be a seasonal SC or a non-seasonal SC char? if Seasonal i might be able to convince a few more to play. thanks!

[storm blaze]

a bit over 7h from now

[surreal verge]

Runic invocation:Immutable order.

[dusty token]

seasonal sc afaik

[magic stream]

thank you. why is it working for him though?

[solid hollow]

If you start on HC and die, will you switch to Legacy or Cycle?

[desert tree]

Hc cycle > sc cycle

Hc legacy > sc legacy
There is no way to move from cycle to legacy

[rough shuttle]

Note: if you die in HC and go to SC you will NOT be able to participate in the ladder

[dusty token]

also the stash probably does not get transferred right?

[final onyx]

we need to make new character for each seasons?

[dusty token]

yes

[solid hollow]

ladder is not the goal, the main thing is to play with the bulk of people

[final onyx]

hmm I was gonna play rogue now but I guess I'll wait a bit for the 1.0

[rough shuttle]

#1187326924754788362

Each cycle your character goes to legacy..
As such you would need to create a new character each cycle or play in legacy

If ladder is not the goal then dying in Cycle HC will get you transfered to Cycle SC. and not restrict you any further other then no ladder progress

[dusty token]

servers are going down in 7hours anyways so yea its probably better to wait

[candid spire]

game will release at feb21 11am CST?

[rough shuttle]

...

[candid spire]

ok

[final onyx]

hmm, aight thanks!

[potent epoch]

generally speaking how "rare" is a top-tier 1LP unique with good rolls?

[rough shuttle]

Unique drops have a rarity and a reroll chance.. see LE Tools guide for a better and full explanation

[storm blaze]

All uniques have their own % for LP
hard to say

[shut merlin]

guys if i wanna trade, what faction i need to pick?

[rough shuttle]

See #news For full overview of faction mechanics

(Merchants guild)

[old jungle]

did the increased health scaling of corruption make freeze/stun way worse?

[quartz lily]

So, is the story not finished yet for 1.0?

[outer mango]

merchants guild

[shut merlin]

tyty

[outer mango]

3 more acts to come

[solid hollow]

if we draw a parallel with poe
then in poe after dying in the season hc you revive in the local legacy and here you revive in the basic season? and when season end everyone move from sc cycle to legacy?

[quartz lily]

Gosh, that does not sound too 1.0 :/

[surreal verge]

All uniques have their own rolls, check LETools

[regal harbor]

Is it correct that I can only get legendary items by finishing a dungeon?

[outer mango]

it was never meant to be released in 1.0

[dusty token]

yes or you join the merchants guild and trade for it

[quartz lily]

i mean, plans or not, when people think release 1.0, they think finished game

[solid hollow]

essentially yes, this crafting method is at the end of one of the dungeons

[surreal verge]

Legendary is crafted via a specific dungeon.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[outer mango]

devs said this game is never "finished"

[quartz lily]

Nor should it be half-baked though

[outer mango]

how its half-baked

[potent epoch]

what does "rare" and "uncommon" mean on LEtools? are these explained anywhere?

[quartz lily]

The acts are not done. People get to end-game by abprubptly being thrown out mid-story. I dont think you realize how this reflects on people thinking this is a game that came out of early access and releases as a "full" game

[potent epoch]

like a "rare" item with an "uncommon" 1LP rate... how often are you gonna see something like that?

[storm blaze]

They said they want to make sure the last 3 acts are high quality instead of rushing them out.

[quartz lily]

I mean i understand that, but id rather they have waited for 1.0 until the 3 acts are done.

This is not gonna receive well :/

[outer mango]

i see it as opposite, its fun to get more story later

[storm blaze]

They already pushed the release date from last year to this...
Yeah just wait 6more months
Surely that would go well

[quartz lily]

Im concerned for newcomers reception to that.

[trail basalt]

when farming resonance, is it ideal to do it during monolith grind party with someone or do it as well during completion of campaign?

[storm blaze]

we don't know enough about resonance and their drop rates

[trail basalt]

yeah it's vague at the moment. But i think it would be best to grind it after you complete the campaign and party with someone to do monoliths

[storm blaze]

Yeah, monos most likely the best for it

[regal harbor]

Uff, I hope I‘ll manage to beat any dungeon at one point

[dapper swift]

T1 now is even easier, should be very nice to learn

[stoic tendon]

Hi, does healing hand have a talent tree ? Because I can't click on it .. I can click on any skill even those I didnt unlock.
Is this a bug ?
Thanks

[latent rain]

it comes with 1.0 i think

[frail snow]

Can someone explain to me how is resonance going to work? How do we obtain resonance? Is it by playing the game, playing in multiplayer, or playing with a specific friend? Also, what about multiplayer? If I'm playing SSF and in a party with 3 other SSF players, can I share them the items that drop for me if we're all in the same session? Or will I have to use resonance to share the items to them, even if we are in the same/live session.

[latent rain]

so tomorrow

[surreal verge]

Hover over them.

[solid hollow]

I assume that it will just be currency that is spent when trading items

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/resonance

[glad stump]

Does Runic Invocation's Cosmic Mind (...sequence of three different runes...) require all three different runes, or any non-repeating three-rune combo?

[surreal verge]

Different runes.

[frail snow]

Thanks!

[glad stump]

so, all three, just to be crystal clear?

[jaunty barn]

What's a good amount of EHP to obtain?

[surreal verge]

It can be a single rune change. EG: FFF to LFF
But it has to be a rune change, not an order swap

[charred talon]

when you unlock monolith at like level 12 or so, is there any legendarys you can get on a main character to give to an alt that would let it get strong enough to do monoliths to level alts solo quickly?

or a way to power level yourself

[gray sentinel]

what are u choosing guys? Merchant guild or Circle of fortune? Im not asking SSF players ofc 😛

[glad stump]

This doesn't make sense to me with my interpretation of "three different runes" but if you have in-game experience, I'll accept it

[surreal verge]

Example 2: Swapping from FFL to LFF doesn't count.
Basically the number of runes of each type has to change.

[crystal thorn]

Are monoliths considered end game? is there anything after that?

[dusty token]

Dungeons, Monolith, endless arena

[crystal thorn]

Ill google some vids ty

[naive sphinx]

whats the difference between + elemental resistances and + all resistances ?

[glad stump]

Where can I read about LE's projectile behaviour? For example, if a skill shotguns or not?

[storm blaze]

Other gives you only elemental res
the other gives you all resistances

[naive sphinx]

but arent all the resistances elemental ? like isnt fire cold lightning etc. an elemental damage ?

[storm blaze]

All resists include void etc.

[atomic shuttle]

Anyone who has trouble accessing their game? I know I played this game a long while ago but now when I was gonna install and do the setup for the big launch tomorrow I can't login nor does the game show in my steam library, anyone had similiar issues?

[naive sphinx]

What else is not elemental then

[severe fjord]

void, poison, necro, physical?

only elemental are fire, cold and light

[storm blaze]

Why don't you check the character tab and count out the elemental ones and check what's left

[naive sphinx]

well I dont know which ones would count as elemental sorry im new ^^

[storm blaze]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205146421347622972

[naive sphinx]

since its all just in the same resistances tab on my character

[oak iris]

Hi, if I download the game now, will I have to download most of it again with 1.0 release? I would like to prepare it but I dont want to waste bandwidth.

[severe fjord]

works the same as all steam games

[storm blaze]

You just need to download the patch.

[regal harbor]

Should have tried lower difficulties

[quiet quiver]

hey, guys anyone know some good hammer throw build for forge guard ?

[regal harbor]

Is it at some point a main quest to finish that outcast timeline? Or am I missing something?

[oak iris]

so the patch wont be as big as the whole game?

I have no idea how big is 1.0 release

[native bluff]

how i can synthes jurla's obsession to get cast speed on them?

[surreal verge]

Elemental is Fire, cold, Lightning.

[storm blaze]

what are you talking about?

[dense wasp]

Can anyone explain to me how SSF exactly works now? I seem to confuse myself at this point. So, at the launch day, you will have an option to create Cycle character as well as HC, there is also Character Found option which is effectively means SSF and they adding new (old) option in character creation menu to also have separated stashes. so kinda like enhanced SSF? Do i understand that right?

[severe fjord]

nobody does except the devs

[surreal rivet]

do the forged weapons created by rive use the forge strike tree?

[desert tree]

Yes

[surreal rivet]

cool

[native bluff]

does anyone know?

[covert valley]

Is it possible to play online with a character created offline?

[severe fjord]

no

[regal harbor]

I have a quest that says that I have to finish these timeline nodes

[surreal rivet]

nah, no open bnet for this game

[desert tree]

Run the dungeon, drop the gloves, run the dungeon another tier on higher tier. Put them in the cache and voilà

[surreal rivet]

its on the left side at the pillar things menu for choosing areas

[naive sphinx]

are any resistances above the 75% just wasted completely ?

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[desert tree]

99% of the time yes

[surreal verge]

More or less. Shred hits overcap first, but those are rare.

[rough shuttle]

Reductions by way of corruptions do not take into account any sort of overcap

[desert tree]

Better take hp instead (or ward)

[regal harbor]

I defeated orobis like three times in different forms so far, but have no idea when a whole timeline is completed

[surreal verge]

That's the wrong thing, https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/quest_echoes

[native bluff]

do i need just another violet gloves with AS?

[desert tree]

You need an exalted pair of gloves yes

[storm blaze]

Do the quests on the left side by clicking them

[native bluff]

ty

[solid hollow]

It turns out that the resonances only come out when you play with someone and they are named.... it sucks, you won’t be able to share with friends if you don’t run with them

[lethal bramble]

Are there any items in-game with cool particle effects and stuff? I have equipped many unqiues and they just look like ordinary pieces of gear.

I really hope mtx is not the way to have a cool looking character...

[solid hollow]

and if you consider that farming in a party will negatively affect the drop (since there is no bonus for loot, it means the whole party will drop loot as solo) then it definitely sucks

[storm blaze]

You can still gift to friends if you got item while in group 🙄

[torpid sluice]

Is there any way on LE Tools to make my character build shared so its not private? without having to write a whole essey as a guide

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/item_gifting

[outer mango]

i pressd save/share and it auto made link for me to share

[fervent quiver]

If you want to trade with friends without grouping with them, there's a faction called Merchants Guild where you can do that.

[torpid sluice]

yes but links tend to dissapear in a chat log when the conversation is running. thanks tho

[glad stump]

Where can I read about LE's projectile behaviour? For example, if a skill shotguns or not?

[zealous orchid]

how do u guys determine what type of loot u need when doing any type of build?

[surreal verge]

Most skills don't unless mentioned.
Example: Curse of Perseverance or Multishot's Giant Slayer node.

[glad stump]

just to confirm; crit doesn't seem relevant to ignite damaga, right?

[surreal verge]

No, not even the hit damage matters.

[finite prairie]

wheres the post for the twitch drops? i wanna make sure i get it in time and know the right streams to view

[wide star]

Will pricing stay the same after 1.0 launch? For deluxe and ultimate edition aswell?

[storm blaze]

yes

[wide star]

and is there anything exclusive I get if I pre-order either of the upgraded editions before 1.0 launch, or is it just the one thing from pre-ordering base edition that is exclusive?

[low dove]

Is there a way to respec passives completely? Or i need to do it by manually clicking 113 times?

[rough shuttle]

Click - hit the "enter' key

[low dove]

Yeah, thats how i do it

[zealous orchid]

tbh if ur gonna buy it why not just buy it now and install it so ur ready to go on release?

and yes u get 1 exclusive pet if u preorder

[wide star]

That's what I was going to do 🙂 Was just wondering if the deluxe or ultimate edition pre-orders include something extra if you pre-order vs upgrade after launch

[hidden zephyr]

Will we be able to play every future Cycle with the same Legacy Character ?
Or are we forced to create a new character every cycle ?

[outer mango]

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

[zealous orchid]

https://lastepoch.com/pre-order nope only the pet it seems

[surreal verge]

That's the fastest method.

[hidden zephyr]

Ok, so just no Ladder access, but a Legacy Character will still have access to all the same "new" mechanics and gameplay as a brand new Cycle character made for the Cycle ?

[hidden mica]

Are there any ways to lower acid flask cost aside from the mana efficiency in the tree and -mana cost to throwing attacks on rings?

[outer mango]

there is no different mechanics on 1st cycle. im not sure how it works after that

[hidden mica]

All the game changes in 1.0 apply to the new cycle and the legacy game. Future cycles in future patches may include cycle-specific content

[hidden zephyr]

Yeah well, that's exactly what I want to find out.

Because if you will be forced to create a new character to play the new mechanics every cycle, then is it worth buying the game ?

Hate games that force you create a new character to play the new patch.

[zealous orchid]

^ TRUE

[outer mango]

and thats why i enjoy playing seasons, fresh start 🙂

[hidden mica]

If you want new cycle stuff, yes, you'll need to make a new character each cycle. But cycles are several months long. If you can really play a single character in last epoch for more than that, that's wild to me

[zealous orchid]

making new chracters is fine but it should be up to the player to decide when

[pallid ridge]

When do the servers go down and for how long

[rough shuttle]

Beep boop!

Shutdown pre 1.0: <t:1708448400:f>
<t:1708448400:R>

Release of 1.0: <t:1708534800:f>
<t:1708534800:R>

These are in your LOCAL timezone

00:00 - 12:00 (AM)
12:00 - 24:00 (PM)

[hidden mica]

You can always just play the legacy stuff. There's a non-zero chance that new cycle content could be brought into the legacy game (poe has done this). So it's possible you can experience cycle-specific content after that cycle ends (but that's entirely up to the devs, no confirmation at all)

[hidden zephyr]

Not everyone has time to play the game 30+ hours a week. Some of us can only play a few hours per week. And is that enough to 'clear' a cycle within the timeframe ?

[outer mango]

maybe they do it like on poe, legacy is one season behind

[hidden mica]

If you pay $35 for last epoch for 1.0, you get the game as-is (plus new game updates). Choosing not to play a cycle isn't making you lose any value of that $35 purchase

[outer mango]

but we have to wait and see how it works

[pallid ridge]

So the servers are going down for a whole day??

[outer mango]

read msg above

[zealous orchid]

u never been gone from a game for awhile and come back and be like OMG this is the playstyle i loved a couple months ago. but u cant play that character cuz ur forced to create a new one for the new content just 🤮 🤮 imo.

[drowsy galleon]

what happens to trade faction and SSF faction in full offline mode?

[hidden mica]

It depends entirely on what you mean by "clear" a cycle. I only have poe as a reference point and I get bored of playing long before a league (poe's version of a "cycle") ends

but if you're one of the few that CAN play a character for months and months, yeah, legacy is for you and cycles are gonna be meh

[storm blaze]

There'd be no reason to join trade faction, why even ask.
You can join circle of fortune though

[drowsy galleon]

Well I mean i heard trade faction have diffrent uniques then COF faction

[hidden mica]

nope lol. Mostly because in poe my enjoyment comes from trying new stuff. The same goes for last epoch. I literally want to play three different falconer builds for 1.0 lol

[drowsy galleon]

thats why i asked

[outer mango]

items are same

[zealous orchid]

i just dont understand why Arpgs cant put out new content for both legacy and cycles AT THE SAME TIME???? that way people that want that fresh start can get it and people that just want to continue there old characters can do that to

[storm blaze]

Because sometimes it's experimental and if it breaks shit it's better that it affects less people.

[hidden mica]

There's no guarantee that new cycle content will be cycle-specific, actually. Someone else might have confirmation otherwise, but I don't think I heard them say, specifically, "legacy will not receive cycle content as well"

[surreal verge]

There's no uniques, only item bases, which don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

[hidden mica]

poe has added over a dozen league mechanics to standard (but after the league ends)

[hidden zephyr]

I mean:

1. You play a character - created say 01 March 2024.
2. You play that character for abouth 50 hours in 2 months let's say.
3. You take a break - IRL comes first
4. New cycle comes to the game and the previous cycle is removed
5. You can't really continew playing the character you have invested 50 hours in anymore - al least not in the new cycle.

My point is:

All characters should be able to play every cycle.

It should be the players choice if he wants to make a new character for the new cycle or not, if he wants any characters to be "cycle bound" or not.

[novel loom]

QUESTION: Will my existing charaters be able to choose a faction when they are moved to legacy?

[zealous orchid]

see thats the thing tho is i USED to love that system back when i started POE but then over time i started to hate it cuz ur forced to do content uve already done like the campaign.

[hidden mica]

"All characters should be able to play every cycle." what is your basis for this? personal preference? The game design doesn't really cater to that preference, unfortunately. You can voice your concerns in #1123698164503949392 but I don't see what else there is to say at that point

"Game does X, I prefer Y." There are lots of games out there

[storm blaze]

Ngl if you have only 2hours a week maybe, just maybe, arpgs aren't the genre for you unless you play standard.
oh yea i work 80hours a week and got 12 kids, can play 15min a week. i should have access to all the content in game

[zealous orchid]

problem is its not just this game its this entire top down ARPG genre.

[hidden mica]

Grim Dawn doesn't have cycles/leagues/seasons

[outer mango]

its you problem not game problem

[night willow]

items skills and whatnot can change every cycle in the future, its impossible to have old characters there

[zealous orchid]

and its also not a live service game

[night willow]

if you prefer that kind of play style you need to stay in legacy

[hidden mica]

Game devs don't have to cater to literally anyone. It's their game, we decide if we want to buy/play it

[tough glacier]

moving goalposts, classic.

[zealous orchid]

you problem? u do realize this was a HUGE source of debate with diablo 4 right?

[hidden zephyr]

Diablo 2 had expansions - and you could play all the content you had unlocked ( via the exp ) at any time anywere.

When have those sort of games disapeared ?

[outer mango]

and?

[surreal verge]

The future is now old man.

[tough glacier]

You can play d2?

[storm blaze]

News for you: this aint diablo2
also diablo2 had ladders too

[zealous orchid]

so why not cater to both audiences then.

[hidden mica]

This is really simple, y'all. You have three options:
A. Play legacy only
B. Make new characters for each cycle (and maybe play legacy on the side)
C. Don't play Last Epoch

[outer mango]

they could just delete legacy/nonladder so you are forced to play only cycles

[glad otter]

Because one audience is 50x larger

[glad stump]

are the tooltips on last epoch tools identical to the game's tooltips? I mean, if one has a typo, the other one has it too?

[hidden mica]

Last Epoch will ALSO have expansions. New expansions aren't going to be cycle-specific content. They're going to make new game systems for legacy as well

[surreal verge]

Note:Non paid expansions.

[hidden mica]

If they revamp the endgame or something, that's not going to be for the cycle and no one else

[surreal verge]

Yes. In-game data dragged.

[trail python]

The game should be playable right now, right? Just bought and installed it. Getting some error messages with "Unusual traffic". I force closed steam with the task manager and verified the files. Still having the problem. Any other things I can try or is contacting the support the next step?

[solid hollow]

wouldn't this be a basic auction? how can I give them the item using it? there will be a chance that someone else will buy it

[pallid thistle]

what could be a good class\idea to do a melee or ranged kite\bleed build & another to do a spell dot damage build?

[hidden zephyr]

The only thing I don't like is that you are forced to abandon a previous character if your friends ( that you made in the game in Cycle 1 ) want to play Cycle 2.

That's my only 'issue'. I don't see the reasoning behind it ( Yes I'm that old that I played games that worked just fine without a lock-you-out-cycle-system ).

This is the reason I never purchased the D3 exp and the reason I wish I could refund D4.

-- Just give the player the option -- that's all.

[potent epoch]

I wonder what percentage of people will go CoF

the general consensus is that MG is overwhelmingly better than CoF powerwise, and that CoF pretty much just caters to the SSF audience?

[tough glacier]

There are other factors at play than just that

[storm blaze]

Go and make a #1123698164503949392 then

[hidden zephyr]

I does not matter how good a game is visually, game mechanics, etc..

If you can't play the same character created in 2024 and play it in 2025-2030, then I'm sorry but I don't like it.

[desert chasm]

I feel like the point of the cycle is ruined if you can bring characters from previous cycles

Is that not what legacy is for?

[tough glacier]

well you can

[potent epoch]

can you play "offline" with other people, like direct connect or something?

[surreal verge]

No

[hidden zephyr]

And I fail to see the point of the cycle.

Leaderboard systems can be made that does not require character lock-out.

[storm blaze]

no

[surreal verge]

Then why hasen't anyone made it?

[desert chasm]

The point of the cycle is a fresh start and a fresh economy

[storm blaze]

Then just don't play in cycle
god it's not that hard

[hidden zephyr]

$$$ ?

[outer mango]

point of cycle is literally fresh start. nothing less nothing more

[tight girder]

check out https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205212339654234153 and lastly somone had their antivirus causing trouble so that might be something

[potent epoch]

@hidden zephyr make a suggestion. in this community, not wanting to play in a temporary league is a very unpopular opinion

[surreal verge]

What money does "resetting the leaderboard and making people play new chars" make if it doesn't get them any money?

[tough glacier]

Thats highly misconstrued but alright

[hidden zephyr]

And also your question is wrong. The question should be:

Why have developers stopped making games without a cycle system?

Why is everyone introducing a cycle system ?

Cosmetics locked per cycle = you can brag with your cosmetics in the new cycle .. ?

[abstract prism]

to keep the game fresh

[surreal verge]

There ARE no cosmetics locked per cycle?
You can use them in standard/legacy?

[potent epoch]

you'd be getting into game dev philosophy. like the concept of how battle passes keep games alive, etc.

[tough glacier]

Well in a largers sense you would walk into to how Q1, 2, 3 etc economy works.

[hidden mica]

As someone who loves playing poe every new league, I love the fresh injection of new skills, items, mechanics, etc. And paired with a fresh start is just really fun. I can't stand playing the same character in an ARPG for too long. I usually make 4-8 characters per league (3-4 months)

[storm blaze]

I swear it has to be a troll at this point
including all that + the 2h playtime / week

[potent epoch]

probably not a troll, he's just passionate about this.

[hidden zephyr]

I don't mind a battle pass - or I should say I don't mind paying a 10 euro sub / month to keep the servers up.

But when you have restrictions ingame - either after you have payed money for a pass or not, that's the 'problem'.

[surreal verge]

Maybe modern ARPGs aren't his thing.

LE devs/EHG ARE gamers turned into a dev team.
Maybe you could learn from them too!

[abstract prism]

yea, is ok to have a diferent option, its a good thing, i just dont think that in this community it will be very popular

[acoustic thicket]

Hello friends im sure this has been asked a million times but where does everyone go to figure out what build they wanna play at launch

Sorry in advance

[lethal canyon]

do shurikens triggered by dancing blades also trigger shadows, or do i have to directly cast them

[surreal verge]

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

[low dove]

technically there is no restrictions, we don't know what will happen in CYCLE 2..Probably fresh mechanics and basicaly you can continue playing them as Legacy character...

[potent epoch]

Uniques from your own class are more likely to drop, right?

[surreal verge]

No class weighting on uniques. (Most of them aren't even class restricted)

[outer mango]

this can be true and only thing that is different is fresh leaderboards

[severe kite]

Does anyone know if the Tempest Strike- Storm crow node is confirmed to be a typo? Intelligence doesnt work on primalist

[surreal verge]

Currently for LE, a new cycle is for people who want leaderboards and a ecnomony reset.
Nothing more, nothing less.
No, there is no leaderboards in legacy.

[outer mango]

i wouldnt argue about this too much before we ssee what actually happens

[hidden zephyr]

Let's do this.

Let's say they make it were instead of locking your entire character, they just turn all items specificly made for the previous cycles and they locked them to be usalble only in Legacy.

Change / update the skills - no issues - change anything and make them "locked to Legacy", but don't lock the character itself.

[thorn oyster]

guys, I have made a filter to show me rare that have at least 3 of a total of good affixes (health, resistance, class specific, vitality/strength), is this filter too strict? why most use "at least 2" instead of 3?

[acoustic thicket]

Hmm I wonder if i wanna go self only or trade

[surreal verge]

Then you would have a naked character.

[outer mango]

2 good affixes is usually enough for anything you do ingame

[tough glacier]

Nothing is locked except your example of wanting to play with friends and they want to play cycle

[thorn oyster]

yeah but I get too much loot

[outer mango]

then make it more strict 🙂

[severe fjord]

change the Tier of the affixes

[abstract prism]

kekw

[thorn oyster]

raising it to 3 isn't better than increasing the tier?

[hidden zephyr]

So ? It's the same character - same level - just can't use the previous items that are specific to affixes or buffs, or events or what-ever from the previous cycle.

Any and all other items are up for grabs.

Like for example WOW or D2

[outer mango]

both works but idk which is better for you

[low dove]

im not pro, but probably you did 1 filter. and normally you need to start with "hide all" and then expand on top of it

[minor temple]

Do we know when we can start updating the game?

[surreal verge]

one correction:All changes are retroactive in LE. If an item got nerfed,all items will be the nerfed version.

You'll still have no equipment to start, as the point of the cycle is to have an economy RESET.

[thorn oyster]

Tiers confuse me, I saw some other filters that use it but I still don't know how much I should increase it per level range

[storm blaze]

tomorrow after maintenance is done.

[outer mango]

at launch

no pre-load

[minor temple]

So you can't pre-download 😢

[storm blaze]

no

[minor temple]

Alright, thanks 😉

[outer mango]

it also helps with launch you cant preload

[lethal canyon]

Anyone know if shurikens trigger shadows when proced by dancing strikes?

[potent epoch]

So, what are the chances that tomorrow's launch will be a complete shitshow?

[hidden zephyr]

I'm ok with that, just don't like the characters themselves getting locked.

Lock the items to Legecy only - nerfed or not - does not matter.

But let people play the same characters in every cycle if they chose.

EDIT: Or create new characters - again - if they chose

[surreal verge]

Servers might die, but we have offline mode for that.

[steel pewter]

can you switch between offline and online?

[surreal verge]

You see, you're not getting the idea of a cycle.
It's so EVERYONE, LITERALLY EVERYONE, starts from nothing.
No old items, no old chars, only knowledge can help you.

[surreal verge]

No.

[hidden zephyr]

Then I guess "I'm too old" for cycle games.

[surreal verge]

I said that at the start.
"The future is now old man."
Or you know, make one yourself, that's what started EHG/LE.

[hidden zephyr]

The "Curse" of having played older games and knowing what you are giving up when you play these new ones.

[tough glacier]

What are you giving up

[steel pewter]

How's the game like in general? Just heard about this and I've only played d3 a few times.

[potent epoch]

aha... the truth comes out. I take it you're one of those people who still thinks Diablo 2 is the pinnacle of ARPGs and no game has done it better? :3

[low dove]

same xD. I'm just adjusting gear i want on Lastepochtools and then making new filter

[storm blaze]

You act like literally nobody else played older games here.

[severe fjord]

yes, good game, you play ya?

[dusky kite]

Look up a few youtube reviews from popular creators, should give you an idea

[steel pewter]

Heheh, I wanna go in slightly blind but I'll assume you generally go into late game and farm for your gears yeah?

[hidden zephyr]

No. I like this game, the way it looks, how it plays and how popular it is.

And I might even enjoy it - badly - for the first Cycle / season.

But then I would just stop playing it when Cycle 2 is released - Why ? - Don't want to make a new toon to continew playing with 'others'.

[shadow arrow]

I mean the season/cycle dates at least from diablo II since ARPGs without reset tend to get superOp without anything to do eventually

[dusky kite]

Yes, this game is mostly focused on endgame/repeatable content, not the linear story part.

[outer mango]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[old jungle]

you don't like cycles because instead of getting to play your now naked, lvl 1 shaman named Defander you have to create a new shaman named Defander2? am i understanding this correctly?

[steel pewter]

Ok! So many classes to choose from LOL

[outer mango]

so dont assume anything before something is confirmed by devs

[shadow arrow]

But there is always the legacy area where you can play forever with your toon, for the people that don't like cycles

[steel pewter]

should i be buying the game and starting it now? there's not gonna be a wipe etc right?

Does anyone know if the Tempest Strike- Storm crow node is confirmed to be a typo? Intelligence doesnt work on primalist

[dusky kite]

one day before the pre-patch downtime it really doesn't matter

If anything it should be closer to 6 hours before downtime now

[dusky kite]

Why would it be a typo? Intelligence absolutely works on primalist, the only thing it doesn't (generally) do is scale primalist skills

[severe kite]

There isnt a single point of intelligence on any of the trees either

[pallid thistle]

what could be a good class\idea to do a melee or ranged kite\bleed build?

[severe kite]

How does having 50 int work

[dusky kite]

There is literally a +10 int per crow node in the crow tree

[old jungle]

then it's not even a problem with cycles/seasons/... but you just wanting something different then your friends. you can just play legacy and never reset, but if your friends enjoy a fresh, new start it's there for them. You can either join them or don't. Maybe talk to them if they will play with you on legacy when they are done with their cycle journey

[dusky kite]

But even without it you can just, you know, equip items that give int? It's a build around node, you are supposed to build around it

[humble echo]

How much will be long each cycle?

[severe kite]

that makes no sense on a class with 0 int scaling

[dusky kite]

Clearly the developers' design philosophy differs from your opinion here, try the suggestions forum

Or the feedback one

[potent epoch]

wait, so, if you have a Legacy character... you can play online with other Legacy characters, right?

because in that case, I don't understand what the problem is. if you don't like cycles just play legacy... o.o

[outer mango]

Yup

[potent epoch]

maybe that @hidden zephyr just didn't know this? you can play Legacy if you'd like

[shadow moat]

Is ♾️ zombie rip in 1.0?

[lusty kelp]

I believe so, yes, but I'm not too familiar with the build.

[hidden zephyr]

Would like to be able to use the same character to play Legacy and Cycle 1 and Cycles 2,3+ ( If I like what they bring new), and not be forced to create a New character for every New Cycle.

Is that too much to ask for ?

[tough glacier]

yes

[storm blaze]

Literally yes

[candid canopy]

Considering the idea of a cycle is a fresh reset, you would be asking for something thats not what a cycle is for.

[potent epoch]

Well, cycles are a "competitive" format where people compete for a ranking... so it would be unfair to allow legacy characters.

[surreal reef]

hey guys quick Q, is there any reason not to start off on hardcore? as you go to softcore if you die right, now legacy?

[candid canopy]

You can just continue playing Legacy and doing the content that you want to do on your character still, not sure what the issue is

[rough shuttle]

if you die in HC Cycle you go to SC Cycle but can't compete for ladder

[shadow moat]

I asked once in dev
Yes you can continue play cycle 1 character will move to legacy in cycle 2

[tough glacier]

I think the competitve aspect if LE is maybe a little overblown in this context. Fresh economy, fresh chars, fresh ideas.

[hidden zephyr]

Just locked out the competitive part of the equasion - Not everyone cares about Leader

[surreal reef]

Ah got ya, so that is the only downside, thanks

[potent epoch]

There will be a legacy community, so you will be able to play with other people.

Defander I highly recommend you think of a suggestion and give the devs some feedback on your idea.

[hidden zephyr]

That creates a devive in the games playerbase.

The "guy next door" is killing that new fancy boss in Cycle 5.

A Legacy player would have to create a new character, lvl it up, gear it up to be able to kill the same boss.

[hidden zephyr]

Yeah, might write an essey

[tough glacier]

You dont know that because you dont know how they are gonna handle cycles

[surreal verge]

It is locked out, it's why legacy exists.

[young blade]

Is 11 CST time 21.02 the final time (release) or is it possible for the game to start earlier after uploading the patch?

[potent epoch]

where's that bot

[surreal verge]

A legacy player can go murder the same boss in Cycle 5 without making a new char, why can't they?

[candid canopy]

The devs havent talked about cycle only content? How are you assuming this will be the case

[dusky kite]

dead and buried

and we spit on its grave

[tough glacier]

Thats is the current standard

[shadow moat]

I am farming rings for it. Only left rings.

[hidden zephyr]

I'm not assuming - just replying to what peole are assuming. "the way of the cycle/season playstyle"

[steel merlin]

Careful, any interaction may bug it again

[dusky kite]

you don't carry your stash over to sc too

[tough glacier]

Nobody has talked about that

[severe fjord]

"I am not assuming, I am just replying what people are assuming" WHAT?

[surreal verge]

Assuming that, the legacy player won't even GET the option to murder the shiny new boss until the NEXT cycle.

[hidden zephyr]

The reason I asked here, the official discord, was in the hopes that a DEV would reply

[dusky kite]

They certainly are.. underdeveloped now, but they seem to be one of the goals of the developers, with improvements to ladders, game modes, and hopefully balance too

I just want to show dev answer

[potent epoch]

there are some people who want to keep playing a character for many years, gradually getting perfect LP4 items, etc.

[tough glacier]

Well if that was all he wanted I would have understood.

[surreal verge]

Well to be fair, the devs kinda want to do that too, but they currently have not much clue how to approach it.
Making new content accessable to all is a good start.

[tough glacier]

But anyway, he gonna write his post so this is all good.

[rough shuttle]

#tooltip-hunt Or if you are really after a dev response #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[surreal verge]

You link the messeage directly.

[candid canopy]

And that can still happen in current Legacy 🤷

[potent epoch]

Kinda. In the other game you risk your build being completely destroyed via updates.

[tulip turret]

is there anyone that is good at build making that could help me ?

[potent epoch]

So your character that has been built up over years may suddenly become worthless via overhauls

[shadow moat]

He can search in ask dev btw.

[low dagger]

In 1.0, the tooltip will show "Estimated DPS". The devs know it is not fully updated by all modifiers. Maybe someday.

[potent epoch]

not everything keeps its legacy variant in the other game, especially things like skill trees

[candid canopy]

ive never played poe/d4 so cant really comment on what other games do, just whats been talked here

[tough glacier]

Well he suggested that those items would be taken away as long as he kept his character, not the build, per se.

So it was more about the char and its level then any build

[potent epoch]

Hm, I see. I guess he doesn't really understand these kind of games, then.

[tough glacier]

But in a broader sense, I agree.

[kindred wagon]

So is there to somehow compare dps while it not showing on tooltip?

Excel?

Hello!

[fervent quiver]

Sorry for the late response, I was out.

You don't have to use the auction house to trade with friends. There is direct 1 to 1 trade as well, and I am not talking about gifting here - MG players can both use the auction house or trade directly with another person. So if both you and your friend are MG, you can just use a little favor to trade an item to your friend.

Edit: Hi Frosty, hope you don't mind a warm welcome

[solid hollow]

[lethal canyon]

intellegent humans please do shurikens triggered from dancing strikes be used by shadows?

[surreal verge]

Bet's on yes.

[placid spruce]

I used to use Garden of Rage (Spriggan Form) to keep my rage up, is it nerfed now? it doesnt give me rage at all when I spawn vines

[solid hollow]

wait...if both characters are in MG but are not friends and do not farm together, they still can trading?
then why are these resonances at all? to be exchanged between characters in different factions?

[thorn sleet]

Greetings. I know this is a very subjective question, but here it goes anyways. My friend said he planned on doing some sort of hammerdin type build. He said that a stronger single target damage class might compliment our duo well. Do any of you have any suggestions? I never really made it very far, so my mid-endgame experience is lacking.

[surreal verge]

Items can only be traded once. Resonances are for passing stuff to a friend when it dropped while not in a party.

[fervent quiver]

Yes. They can trade through the merchants guild. You can "sell" your friend an item, and vice vera, and that item will get MG-Tagged and can't be traded again. Resonances are for people playing together - either MG and a friend gifts you something so you can sell it, or CoF and you're just gifting each other useful gear, or even an MG player giving useful gear to a CoF player (because MG items get tagged when traded, not when dropped, and gifting is not trading).

[midnight elm]

On 1.0 will we be able to change sex of a class and skin colours and hair and eye colours etc

[solid hollow]

ty a lot for answer

[potent epoch]

When affixes are being rolled, such as +(10% to 30%) increased Health, is it an equal chance of hitting all possibilities or is there some kind of dice or weighting system beneath the surface?

[fervent quiver]

Do you have particular preferences in playstyle? Personally, I vastly recommend putting your own enjoyment of something first, and power second - There's plenty of powerful builds so you'll find something good anyway. So yeah, first question, what kind of things do you like?

[dusky kite]

If you have build question, perhaps the respective class's channel is the better place to ask them, they tend to be full of experienced people

[charred talon]

ive gotten temporal sanctum keys from normal monoliths, but how do i get Lightless or soulfire keys?

[wicked plover]

the same way, its rng

[charred talon]

oh ok so theyre the same chance i just got unlucky

[dusky kite]

Yes, and also to gift items that aren't tradeable through the auction/person to person MG trading

[pallid ridge]

How long is the server going to be down today?

[dusky kite]

there won't be any character customization in 1.0, nor in any foreseeable future

[fervent quiver]

Affix rolls are not weighted, each has the same chance. On uniques, some affixes are "linked" and always have the same roll though (so when affix A is 10, affix B is also 10, etc.)

I didn't understand from the news how the bazaar works, is it like an auction house where you buy the items with gold or do you trade them for other items? is there any form of gold trading?

[rough shuttle]

See #news / Patch notes for more info

[dusky kite]

it's an auction house. Gold is the primary currency

[surreal verge]

Auction house, gold to buy or sell stuff, Favor also required, which is earned by murdering things while being in the faction.

[thorn sleet]

Thank you for your response. The answer is "yes" lol. I am somewhat of an alt-o-holic in other games and I see this one as being no different on the surface.

I played a little of the necromancer. It was fun, but a bit boring at times, as minion builds in most games tend to be. The thorn totem I also tried and it was similar, though I have a soft spot for totems in general (looking at you warchief totem in poe)

I also goofed off with a blademaster, but by that I mean level 23ish? It was fun with the fast attacks.

Hadn't really played a caster.

The falconer seems interesting to me as I enjoyed Mordecai from Borderlands.

[solid hollow]

when 1 to 1 trade happens, both need a large amount of favor for good things? or only to the one who gives

[fervent quiver]

Favor costs are exactly the same as in the Bazaar, which means the buyer pays more than the seller in favor.

[placid spruce]

Was Spriggan Form's rage generation nerfed? I used to get a lot of rage per vine

[surreal verge]

Both.

[fervent quiver]

Obviously can't give too much advice on the falconer yet, but the class looks sweet. I am going to start the cycle trying Ballista Falconer. Ballista used to be very bad, so I am curious to see whether it is playable now.

Some things that I can vouch for being fun and relatively straightforward are disintegrate mage (though it does require a build-enabling unique), flurry / multishot marksman (arrows everywhere does look very cool), and smite warpath paladin (notably lower damage than hammerdin, but incredibly tanky).

yes, cuz they wouldnt just click the yes i read it box and mvoe on anyways

[lilac current]

and can i make make more than 1 character on a single account?

[rough shuttle]

Yes

[lilac current]

and i can't reset my character once i make it right?

[rough shuttle]

You can delete characters if that's what you want to know about

[wicked plover]

you can "reset" anything except your mastery choice

[warm flume]

Has a release time on release date been announced?

[sly fable]

And your class

[lilac current]

umm more like can i make more character cuz im new and i will probably try other class too

[wicked plover]

25 chars for online

[rough shuttle]

Yes you can create a bunch of em.. (25 - online)

[lilac current]

owhh ok tysm guys

[fervent quiver]

Yes

[dusky kite]

bleed warlock? It's new so it must be op

[lilac current]

and for the character found i can't change it once i make the character?

[rough shuttle]

Nope you can not

[lilac current]

ok

tysm for the info guys

[quick crown]

does anyone know if mob density increases with corruption level already?

[wicked plover]

not scaled with corruption

[quick crown]

otherwise that would be a pretty cool thing to have, like 1% increased density per 10 corruption or something

or 1% per 100 corruption

[toxic echo]

maybe one day...and maybe thats the plan. its just up to EHG to manually do it right now with how they spawn mobs

[pulsar token]

im sure this has been asked a million times, but is there any advantage to playing early? Like I just purchased the game to have it ready to go on release but im not sure if its worth experiencing the campaign ahead of launch? i probably wont be able to give any items to my new character once it launches?

[wicked plover]

you got 4h until servers are down

[quick crown]

if you absolutely want to play on the new season/cycle, then you are correct, you cant give anything to your new character, but if you dont care for the new season/cycle, then you can keep playing existing characters

[pulsar token]

ahhhh kk! thanks!

[charred talon]

does ilvl matter on wepaons for rune of ascendance? like could i spam them on a low level 2h axe and get a deaths embrace?

[quick crown]

nope

you can use it on any item and get any unique of the same type

[charred talon]

ty

[quick crown]

i.e. using a rune of ascendance on any chest armour can get you any unique chest armour (except for those with restricted drops)

[lethal canyon]

Can blade shield+chakram node allow blade shield to hit more than once?

[outer mango]

cant get boss only uniques with it

[quick crown]

yeah, thats what i edited in to say, that you cant get those with restricted drops

[outer mango]

👍

[charred talon]

from google seems like thats the way to get deaths embrace so ill just spam them on low lvl axes

[lethal canyon]

answer is no chakram is listeed as twice only 😦

[pulsar token]

woah! is it recommended to save them or juse use them right away? I played a few hours earlier and got a couple but was scared to use them lol

[fervent quiver]

I would recommend saving them for when you know what endgame uniques or build enabling uniques you are looking for

[outer mango]

no need to save them, you can get all items at lvl1 or lvl100 chars

ofc look at what item you want

[quick crown]

yup, as tomagathericon here says, save them for when you know which uniques are useful, or look it up on a guide beforehand

[carmine stag]

Just me or is the Mobile site for LEtools not working?

[outer mango]

its down

[carmine stag]

Ffffff feels bad man

[quick crown]

if you play a character through the campaign once you usually get somewhere between 5 and 10 rune of ascendance, and it could take a few to get the items you need

[dapper swift]

Update or too much traffic?

[rough shuttle]

dammitt is working on this, its a known issue please just be patient

[thorn hill]

server shutdown in 4hours

[outer mango]

latter

[carmine stag]

Is alg I was just asking. Didn't know if something was up with my phone or anything like that.

[sick lake]

if i buy the game from an official key reseller would i still get the golden guppy?

[devout stag]

characters get wiped after update?

[cedar locust]

[tardy hazel]

is there a way to bind right mouse to move instead? keeps saying button is in use even after removing all

[toxic echo]

not in the game

[hidden mica]

Lmao I just learned that it's confirmed that cycle content will be available to legacy characters. So everyone wins. Nothing left to complain about

[formal cipher]

Does anyone know?

[outer mango]

1st cycle yes but we dont know about future ones how its handled. But this topic is old to discuss already

[wicked plover]

the camera generally is quite zoomed in in this game
if you cant scroll out more there is nothing you can do

[hidden mica]

Oh, wait. Now I'm confused. So for the future (where new cycles will ACTUALLY have cycle-specific content), there is no guarantee that legacy will also get the content at the same time?

Like, let's say there's a cycle where every character gets a motorcycle (get it?). Has EHG confirmed that, for the duration of that cycle, legacy players also get to ride motorcycles?

[outer mango]

Ive read there is a bug that jams camera closer than intended

[short thicket]

Can you recommend me some good archetypes / builds to reach 100 on HC ?

[wicked plover]

there will be cycle exclusive content in the future

[hidden mica]

Stuff that freezes/chills is inherently more defensive @short thicket

[hidden mica]

Okay, that's what I thought and what made sense. I need to yell at someone in #💬┃general now, ty

[outer mango]

Id like to see confirmation to this from devs

[wicked plover]

they have said this so many times, pick any random interview, reddit post or use the search function here

[native sail]

Serfax there is no confirmation they have said there MIGHT be.

[wicked plover]

i didnt say it was?

whats up with the insult straight away

[surreal verge]

You said will, which isn't true

[toxic echo]

rule 1

[marble fossil]

mechanics question:

How does added spell damage work with spells with multiple type tags (e.g. Chaos Bolt)?

Is the damage added to both component fully or half the damage is added to each component?

[toxic echo]

if spell has base 1 phys and 1 fire, and you add 30 adaptive...it add 15 for phys and 15 for fire

[marble fossil]

ok thanks

[fathom ruin]

As i see, alot of people say the will start offline cuz they dont trust the servers, but that means that you can change from offline to online without losing any progress or items etc ?

[hidden mica]

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

Tldr, first few cycles will be universal content, but that may change later

[toxic echo]

cannot move from offline to online

[fathom ruin]

oh

[hidden mica]

Yeah you can basically cheat in offline mode I believe, so you can't bring that power to online

[half moat]

What time will 1.0 go live tomorrow?

[cobalt maple]

my friend told me randomly about a shuriken orbiting around player (rogue) mechanic existing, i believe they arent messing with me but we both cant find it in passive tree. Does it exist or we are confusing someth

Is there a Stat that can scale both the hit damage of acid flask and the poison damage inflicted by hits from acid flask?

[shy jolt]

Does someone know if they imprved Performance in any way? because in some regions i only get like 60fps

[toxic echo]

not really...since poison is never a hit. unless there is an "acid flask does more damage" affix

[surreal verge]

And you wonder why acid flask is bad....

[hidden mica]

Would the damage nodes on the acid flask tree work? like the 40% more nodes?

[toxic echo]

likely with the updates...gonna have to see what 1.0 looks like in game for you tho

[toxic echo]

should

[hidden mica]

Nah, I knew why it was bad. I say "was" because I'm 100% convinced acid flask will be good on falconer in 1.0. My AC130 explosive flask build is gonna pop off, just you wait

[surreal verge]

But yeah on a serious note, just the nodes.

[hidden mica]

Cool beans, ty

Throwing damage wouldn't help ailments inflicted by throwing attacks, right?

[tight girder]

correct

[hidden mica]

And there's no "poison" hits in LE, right? I'm thinking from poe brain like how bleeds deal physical damage and you can inflict physical hits, same for poison and chaos hits both dealing chaos damage

[tight girder]

the ailments damage are independent of the hit that applies them

[hidden mica]

Right, but in last epoch, bleeds are physical damage, right?

[tight girder]

correct

[hidden mica]

So you could use a skill that deals physical damage to inflict a bleed and increased physical damage would scale them both, right?

[junior garden]

Can i have image perms idk if i found a bug

[tight girder]

yes indeed

[dawn orbit]

hi, question to the Lightless Arbor Dungeon boss. when i run the left and right stuff with the fire with D Keyboard press, did i have to burn each side multiple times? I burned right side and left side one time and the boss had about 60% life left.

[toxic echo]

#1123698102470189118 or ingame reporting.

[tight girder]

however, stuff like "melee damage" won't work on the bleed, if the skill is a melee skill for example

[hidden mica]

And because poison is its own damage type that is not physical, void, necrotic, fire, cold, or lightning, there's no way to scale the hit of acid flask and the poison at the same time, right?

(aside from acid flask damage)

[tight girder]

well, points of dexterity will give the skill increased damage, and that will apply also to ailments inflicted with said skill if i'm not mistaken

[hidden mica]

Oh, i didn't know that. That's handy

[silent osprey]

when you say "stay logged in" do you mean account or char? like can i stay on char select screen? or do i gotta be logged into char, ty sir

[rancid rover]

at wich time is the release tomorrow

[hidden mica]

But like, bleed is physical, ignite is fire. You can deal physical and fire hits in this game. But you can't deal a "poison" hit so acid flask (and poison in general) is inherently less synergistic with itself I suppose

Guys do you think long loading times between maps will be fixed ?

[wide sentinel]

how do we know tho

[hidden mica]

They're improving performance they said, so I hope so

[autumn pecan]

I just killed Lagon monolith and didn't get dialogue to choose my monolith path, am I tripping or did I do something wrong?

[tight girder]

Sort of, but the value of scaling both a hit and the ailment it causes isn't necessarily as good of an idea as you might think

[autumn pecan]

unlocked the wrong one

[native sail]

The dialogue for that one is in the second quest not Lagon

[hidden mica]

Right, I figured as much. I feel you either go poison acid flask and scale ailment/dot, or go explosive flask and scale hit

[last tide]

Can you move a personal affix (from one-shot cache) to a Legendary item?

[native sail]

No

[autumn pecan]

so i have to do the 3 quests again? lagon was my 3rd quest in "ending the storm" now I unlocked fall of the empire instead of reign of the dragons

[native sail]

Pretty much. It's a bit annoying consistency-wise.

[autumn pecan]

right, confusing stuff 😄

[fading cape]

Lich plays without summons?

[near crest]

Porbably a really stupid question but anyways does "healing" need for the health to be restored to count as healing? Like "Healing Hands" giving health and healing over time and then the "Divine Catalyst"-node saying "You cast Divine Bolt at nearby enemies when you directly cast healing hands and heal yourself or an ally.". I would guess they would need to be hurt for that to happen, correct?

[hidden mica]

They can. They can also play with summons if they want. Same for every acolyte mastery

[signal mauve]

X% more hit damage - does this apply to spells? what does it not apply to, DoT?

[native sail]

It applies to things that hit except for minions (unless stated otherwise). DoTs are not hits.

[signal mauve]

so basically anything except minions and DoTs?

[native sail]

Yup.

[tight girder]

Yes

[rapid pebble]

Can I play Circle of Fortune characters in offline mode?

[native sail]

you can

[rapid pebble]

Yaaaaaay that's awesome

[signal mauve]

thanks. also can I reasonably make non-crit builds on early levels? how important is crit in this game

[west sky]

Does anyone know if merchant's guild and CoF will be on the legacy server as well?

[signal mauve]

probably? the game versions shouldn't differ

[toxic echo]

they will be

[west sky]

Thanks!

[native sail]

Pretty important if you're a hit build but you're not expected to cap crit easily or early.

[surreal verge]

This is about singularity isn't it?

[signal mauve]

yeah

[native sail]

Don't touch that thing. Trust me.

[signal mauve]

I just don't know how much is +18% worth, is it standalone multiplier? in general how many levels of multipliers can there be?

[tight girder]

If you have even two mods that boost your crit it's not really worth using

[native sail]

It's really, really bad. As soon as you have 20% crit chance it is beaten. And that's not hard to really do.

[hidden mica]

Everything in 1.0 is for both legacy and the new cycle

[native sail]

Singularity might genuinely be the worst item in the game.

[neat gull]

I got a question about campaigns. If my and my GF starts at level 1, and groups up. Will the person that joined still get campaign progress?

[rough shuttle]

Yes

[native sail]

Yea

[neat gull]

sweet!

[hidden mica]

All multipliers are multiplicative with all other multipliers. The exception is a multiplier that can be added onto, like critical strike multiplier. +80% crit multi and +50% multi don't multiply together from different sources, they add to +130% multi

[exotic hollow]

in all seriousness, if that wasnt the case im sure most ppl wouldnt even bother with the game, that would be a very dumb mechanic

[vague radish]

We can change our faction choice when we want?

[rough shuttle]

yes, though some items are faction specific so keep that in mind when switching

[hidden mica]

Builds try to stack as many multipliers as they can get their grubby little paws on.

Penetration/resist shred, crit multi, conditional multipliers, etc

[native ruin]

i think the items u got from 1 faction are locied if u change though

[exotic hollow]

isnt them all?

[tropic chasm]

Are map resets getting fixed in 1.0?

[hidden mica]

You're replying to a bot

[finite peak]

and you won't be on the leaderboardsz

[wicked plover]

on char

[hidden mica]

Not all items that drop will be tagged with a faction marker while you're in CoF or MG

All items that drop while you're in CoF will be untradeable, though

[red flume]

I’m assuming with offline mode you can play in offline and go online with friends whenever you want?

[exotic hollow]

oh? what defines it being marked or not

[rough shuttle]

You can NOT switch inbetween Online / offline

[red flume]

Ohhhh gotcha Ty!

[neat gull]

You are probably correct, but I figured i'd ask anyway. Only played a few hours so I had no clue. Thanks though 😄

[exotic hollow]

very fair

[hidden mica]

Items that are bought from faction vendors, items traded via MG, or items obtained from prophecies in CoF are all tagged. I'm not sure what else is

[native sail]

Things acquired via CoF buffs get tagged as well

[hidden mica]

Do they?

Like a full set of items?

[exotic hollow]

cool, thanks

[opaque quest]

I got mixed results looking into it. Does "Character Found" share a stash with other characters on your account in "Character found" (EG: Item dropped on my VK can be used by my beastmaster) or is it only items found by that character are usable?

[surreal verge]

The latter.

[opaque quest]

Ty

[hidden mica]

Isn't basically everything found via a CoF buff tho? Like, if you drop a full set of items from CoF, are all but one of the items CoF-tagged?

[native sail]

Nah, not everything is. Most of it, sure. But not everything.

[hidden mica]

If I get the 25% chance to double drops or something, are half the drops tagged? What exactly do you mean by "items dropped via CoF buffs are tagged"?

[native sail]

They definitely overlooked some issues with it (like the set thing as you've mentioned)

[surreal verge]

The latter.

[hidden mica]

I only said one thing, what do you mean by latter?

[surreal verge]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1204439231410216970

[native sail]

All I have is the phrasing used by devs, items affected by CoF buffs are tagged. I can't say more than that, man.

[hidden mica]

Okay, "passive effect from rank rewards" is what I was looking for, ty kzb

[surreal verge]

Items dropped via effects gained from CoF rank are marked as CoF, on top of untradable.

Yeah

[tranquil sage]

Hi. Im looking for a way to compare offhand iteam. What i mean. If i have a rogue that dual wields, i can compare new weapon to item in main hand, but i cannot find any option/key to compare it with weapon in character offhand.
Is it even coded into a game? How can i do it?
Thanks for answers 🙂

Thanks!

[sinful pond]

hey guys! i saw that thorn totem's titan's bane got nerfed. will thorn totem spriggan form still be a valid starter now?

[acoustic thicket]

Shattering t1 or t7 mods give same amount of shards?

[rough shuttle]

I believe a higher Tier will give more shards

[toxic echo]

shatter is random amount of shards

upto tier level

shatter a t1 0-1. shatter a t7 0-7

removal gives all tiers as shards, but random affix

[acoustic thicket]

Ohhh okay ty

[sinful pond]

anyone?

[toxic echo]

really gonna be hard to tell whats still viable since the patch isnt out yet. lol. LE normally doesnt nerf things into the ground tho, unless its bugged

[daring trout]

if i choose to play ssf, does that mean i cant gift an item over to a friend?

[shut breach]

Got a legendary question. Say i'm playing an acolyte and drop a hat with LP. Would I be able to smash on an off-class affix onto that hat so I could use it on acolyte? thinking about the rogue having exclusive access to poison duration affix

[toxic echo]

SSF means you cannot party, afaik. CoF =/=SSF tho. you can party in CoF

[polar igloo]

Hey there!
I'm having slower internet connection so I'm wondering when will the 1.0 patch be available on Steam to download? Should I wait for that to come out and download the whole game or just download the currently available version and the update will not be that big?

[acoustic thicket]

Let's say I get lvl 100 can I gift something for free to my lvl 1 friend ? Both playing Marchant

[acoustic thicket]

Update so yes download now

[daring trout]

CoF is basically the equivalent of SSF no? or am i misunderstanding something. (poe player, last time i played LE was last year)

[toxic echo]

if you play together when the item drops or with a resonance, you can gift it

[toxic echo]

CoF is just drops. it is not SSF. (though everyone keeps calling it that and its not an its annoying). you can still party up and play and gift in CoF. SSF is a challenge you pick on character start. there are seperate things

[polar igloo]

Do we know how large of an update should we expect?

[daring trout]

ah. makes sense. I was reading through the CoF mode and it seemed like a better version of SSF

[acoustic thicket]

Few gb but its a guess

[surreal verge]

The legendary will gain the class requirement.
If it already had one and it would clash, you can't craft one at all.

[shut breach]

Ah dang, that's unfortunate but expected. thanks!

(also i agree buff poison plz)

[daring trout]

does LE have servers like POE where anyone from any server can join? I play with a lot of ppl from the opposite side of the world

[toxic echo]

yeah. a lot of people from other arpgs are just calling it SSF...which is making the transition to it hard. but they are seperate. you can 4 man group with all CoF...would be pretty strong with the gifting.

[surreal verge]

Assuming the ping difference doesn't screw you, yes anyone can join from anywhere

[daring trout]

they'd have to be in your group to gift then right? can't just play 2 solo players and then gift each other?

i mean play as a group for a while for the resonance thing 🤔

[toxic echo]

first is correct

and once you have resonances, then you can solo a bit more

[daring trout]

ah. that kinda sucks for my specific case.

are resonances rare enough where I should play merchant/trade instead?

or no one knows yet

[fringe knoll]

how do i sell items ? and or dismantle items is it only with that 2k item ?

[toxic echo]

there is no publically known time for resonances to drop. it is "not a small" amount of time

[toxic echo]

runes of shattering or runes of removal to dismantle items

[fringe knoll]

so there is no vendor to sell items to ?

[daring trout]

hm. that makes it hard to decide which to go with for my group. got like 4-5 ppl to buy the game

[native sail]

I mean you can it's just not worth it

[oak iris]

Do you think its worth downloading the game now or I should wait for the patch? I dont like wasting bandwidth. I am going to play tomorrow.

[fringe knoll]

havent seen any so far just ones you can " buy from " and the respec npc and stash chests

[native sail]

The ones you can buy from you can also just chuck items into

But again, it's such a small amount of gold that it is a genuine waste of time

[fringe knoll]

oh i tried alt and ctrl ands shift clicking didnt work but ok ty

[stoic tendon]

Hi, question : will players from different factions be able to play together ? And if yes, the loot sharing will be disabled, right ?

Yes you can party while in different factions
No it doesn't disable loot sharing, that'd be dumb

[stoic tendon]

[wicked bone]

Acid Flask says %100 chance to apply poison but has a node that adds additional chance to poison what happens when you give that node? more than 1 stack per hit?

[blazing pond]

hey, i bought the game today, and just found out the game actually releases tomorrow. Will the character i create now carry over tomorrow or is it a different league starting tomorrow?

[native sail]

Every 100% chance for an ailment is another stack, anything between that = chance for another stack

[rough shuttle]

[stoic tendon]

Hi, question : if node says
"Holy aura grants you and your allies increased healing effectiveness

Increased healing : +10% // per point up to 4"

Does this increases the healing ? or the effectiveness ? Because 10% per point up to 40% is kinda low for effectiveness
Thanks

[undone ravine]

So in regards to Crit Vulnerability - if I have 10 stacks of 2% crit vuln, 20% in total - do I add that as 20% to my total crit chance - would I need in total 80% crit chance to make it 100%?
Or does my increased crit chance also get included?

[half drift]

I just got the game and got to level 8 and bought 1 stash tab. When the game launches tmw, will i lose the character and the stash tab? i heard there is something like a new season/league

[stoic tendon]

<--

[whole cargo]

can't i add bleed on hit to wands?

[patent mural]

has shadow dagger blade dancer changed in the past few months? weaker? stronger?

[half drift]

ah alright so legacy is like poe's standard league?

[storm blaze]

yes

[dapper swift]

with extra 15% for example you would get 1 stack and a 15% chance to put 2 instead, so on

[unique gate]

Q: I want to target farm a specific legendary in a specific monolith. How many of those target specific nodes can I farm or do I have to reset the timeline whenever I encountered the specific node?

[half drift]

ah then i'll hold off i guess and start my character for real tomorrow. thank you!

[undone ravine]

Yesterday we learned it gets a slight nerf - it won't show really for clear but in terms of bossing it'll be relatively noticable

[half drift]

what abt the falconeer? im quite excited abt trying the ballista falconeer since my primalist will be going to legacy

SD was always overtuned - yeah slightly slower bossing, which isn't where it shined anyway

[surreal verge]

Doesn't matter it's base mechanics, which is the op part, is still there.

[patent mural]

i see

[undone ravine]

But clearing will still be one of the fastest, and this is much due to what KZB refers to - the mechanic to skip crit chance is so strong

Made gearing overall much easier

[outer grail]

Hi
I heard (from early access), that player cannot respec between 'ascendancies'.
Will this still be true for release version?

[storm blaze]

Can't respec masteries, nope

[outer mango]

mastery is like a class you choose

[half drift]

that sounds good. is there a rec ommended way to level it

[shut cove]

will there be some kind of local couch coop?

[surreal verge]

None in the works

[shut cove]

ok, thx for your answer!

[undone ravine]

There are a couple of variants, but I think doing explosive traps to both buff falcon and also summon ballista is the way I would do it

[half drift]

yeah i was interested in that concept too. do you follow any particular guide for it

[undone ravine]

Not really, I have come up with something myself, sure inspired by a lot of other stuff

[half drift]

could you share it with me please. im quite new (8 levels into the game XD)

[undone ravine]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/bBGmLVVA
So in your case, I would say take away Smoke Bomb and Shadow Falcon tech to fit in ballista. Downside would be defensive stuff you get from smoke bomb.
Also, this is probably not the best way to do ballista falconer, haven't looked at those builds in depth - but this would be my suggestion

[knotty sparrow]

hello TwT i'm sorry. i wanted to try out the game and this is happening idk what to do

[native sail]

Try a different server. It's weird but it might work.

[toxic echo]

different server, or try force closing steam before loading LE

[knotty sparrow]

thank u i'll try it out

[stable turret]

Anyone know why when I try and delete my character it keeps coming back as a lvl 1 version of that character as if just created?

[toxic echo]

#1123698102470189118

[stable turret]

As in post that there? Or that's in the bug reports area?

[toxic echo]

you have encountered a bug, and it should be reported there

that clearly shouldnt be happeneing. lol

[candid trail]

When do i get my mastery?

[prisma pivot]

I'm looking for suggestions for a build to try on 1.0. I rolled Necromancer and it felt I was just walking while my minions did all the work. Asked in global chat for a more "active" build, and they suggested the autobomber thing, which kind of sucked because it was permanently spamming one single skill ;/
I'm looking for something with a fun, involved skill rotation, any ideas?

[storm blaze]

When you reach the end of time for first time

[candid trail]

Aight, and when i level a acolyte today, can i turn it into a warlock tomorrow?

[arctic scarab]

No

Unless u r playing standard that is

[candid trail]

So we need to level from scratch with 1.0?

[storm blaze]

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

[arctic scarab]

in a new cycle (league) yes

your old chars go to eternal league, so u can play them there

[candid trail]

Is 1.0 a new cycle?

[storm blaze]

1.0 is the patch
and cycle just happens to come with the 1.0 patch

[arctic scarab]

if u played d2, cycle is a ladder, if u played poe, cycle is a league

[candid trail]

I didnt sadly

[arctic scarab]

Ok, so there is one "server" where everything is the same always (legacy/standard/eternal realm) and a new "server" which usualy has some new mechanics, options, etc

if u create a char today and want to continue playing it - you can only do that on Legacy "server" which currently has all the same stuff as cycle "server"

but next cycle reset might bring some new stuff that is only playable on that "server"

[candid trail]

Okay i got it, then i will stop playing for now, dont want to do everything again 😄

Ty for the information 🙂

[arctic scarab]

No problem

[gaunt mason]

Just to understand a bit better, what will be the big difference brtween the current version vs tomorrows released version? Is it additional content or purely bug fixez, better visuals etc?

[toxic echo]

everything you asked and more. patch notes are on LE forums. they are pretty big tho

[edgy kraken]

If I download Last Epoch right now will it preload the 1,0 patch ready for tommorow?

[balmy prairie]

hello everyone dumb question sorry I hope it is the right section, if i buy the base game can i upgrade it later after 1.0 release? (for the rewards)

[minor vigil]

no

[storm blaze]

yes

[wild matrix]

What time does the patch release tomorrow

[outer mango]

nope

[storm blaze]

25h from now

[wild matrix]

so 12est alright

[magic stream]

does anyone know if in 1.0 we will be able to pick a different mouse cursor? The current one blends in with everything that goes on the screen sometimes and it's horrible to not know wher it is

[candid trail]

That is one bad time for a patch download in europe especially 😄

[outer mango]

you can use yolomouse

[magic stream]

I'm on linux. yolo is for windows only

[outer mango]

then no

[magic stream]

great

[storm blaze]

<t:1708534800:F>

[storm blaze]

Yup, 7pm my time. Not gonna play tomorrow for sure

[wild matrix]

I meant 12est tomorrow but thanks for the clarification lol

[storm blaze]

I've no idea what 12est is and I can't be arsed to look it up either
faster to just copy the message that shows your local time for release

[wild matrix]

eastern time

[storm blaze]

And I'm not american so I don't know your timezones 😉

I know it stands for eastern time but that's it

[wild matrix]

Figure everyone would know at least that one by now since so much releases based on it.

[candid elm]

EST is GMT-5 / UTC-5

[heady depot]

Will we be able to play offline during the downtime? Or it is not possible since we dont have true offline yet? 🤔

[storm blaze]

If you're already playing offline character when it goes offline, yes
but you can't swap characters

[candid elm]

While the servers are down, authentication will not be possible. If you are already playing in offline mode before we take down the servers, you should be able to continue your play session, however offline will not be able to authenticate to log in once the servers are down. This is also a good point to note that one of the features being added with 1.0 is a true offline mode, which will prevent this kind of interference with offline mode in the future.

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-1-0-patch-notes/62536

[wild matrix]

Is there a objectively worst class to use for offline mode? lol

[sharp current]

Sorceror because.. who plays sorceror anyway

[faint cape]

No, all classes are viable

[limber junco]

hello gamers just a quick question about true offline, do we know if we'll be able to play future cycles content on it or is it more like a "eternal realm" kinda thing

[heady depot]

We dont have a true answer for that yet

[limber junco]

ah fair! thanks

[low lava]

so basically as long as we leave game open (offline) we wont be disconected and get to play until 1.0?

[faint cape]

Yes, you can create offline cycle characters

[heady depot]

You get disconnected when away in offline mode as well, dont you?

[low lava]

im not sure

[faint cape]

Yes, also you can't swap characters

I don't think the afk timer exists in offline, but I don't know

[wicked plover]

it shouldnt right, since you are not connected to a server

[faint cape]

Right, there was never an afk timer until online was added, and there would be no functional reason for it in offline

[heady depot]

The problem is that it is not true offline for now

Example is that you have a chat. But yeah, I dont know if you get disconnected

[hardy garnet]

what time is 1.0 going live tomorrow? pls and ty

[storm blaze]

<t:1708534800:F>

[heady depot]

11AM CST

[stiff nimbus]

was there any kind of 'deep dive' on the new MG/CoF factions?

want to get more info

[toxic echo]

there are two big posts in the LE forums

#news message

[trail wyvern]

You must be inside a offline character and cannot return to the menu

[wary tundra]

Guys can i start playing now and keep playing after the 1.0 drops or should i wait til tomorrow?

[heady depot]

Game is going down in 41 minutes. If you want to play now, login and create an offline character and do not leave the game

[candid elm]

You can, but the online servers are going down shortly for a day. The characters aren't being wiped, though.

[verbal swan]

Heya folks. It seems like Wandering Spirits can, theoretically, gain a very significant increase to single target DPS with increases to area, since it allows each spirit to start applying rather than just a few. In practice this might not be possible- area scaling seems pretty weak in this game.

Are there any other skills that work this way? Avalanche perhaps?

[cedar locust]

Nope, I asked Mike. No AFK timer in Offline mode 🙂

[wary tundra]

When will it be available to play for EUW?

[heady depot]

Nice!

[wicked plover]

6pm cet

[wary tundra]

Thank you

[heady depot]

Bladedancer Shadow Cascade does that. I might be wrong though, so take a look on it
Showcase at Single Target by TriKster: https://youtu.be/eYvGs3_fqSY?t=363
You can see multiple hits

[jagged ice]

what is weaver's will on uniques?

[candid elm]

The unique automatically randomly upgrades as you use it

[analog merlin]

Hi all, anyone knows if the support can restore a deleted online character?

[jagged ice]

what do you mean upgrades? Like i just got a dedication of an erased primalist with 10 weaver's will, it'll upgrade...something, ten times?

[candid elm]

Stats will improve, you'll get new affixes added, etc. A higher weavers will number gives more random upgrades

Like one of the existing affixes might go up a tier

Or you'll get an entirely new affix added

[jagged ice]

neat, thanks!

[candid elm]

You don't have to do anything for it to happen, it happens automatically as you use the item.

[verbal swan]

Thanks, I'll take a look 👍

[candid elm]

I'd link the LE Tools page, but it looks like it's down. This maxroll page has some examples https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/weavers-will-uniques

[pallid thistle]

what could be a good controller class\build which is not warpath\mono-skill-spam?

[sharp current]

T-30 minutes until the first "Why can't I login to the game?"

[heady depot]

I played Squirrels in a controller and I cant complain.

[sharp current]

Yeah I'd imagine any minion build would feel okay on a controller.

[surreal verge]

Well, there's a warning this time, so you can "reading issue" them for this one.

[heady depot]

Maybe permanent minions. For Wraiths for example I am not sure

[pallid thistle]

minions is an option for sure, i was also thinking on something with some directional arc\cleave skills and shift\ directional rush that doesnt require clicking over enemies location

[rugged sinew]

spin2win

[heady depot]

We are getting controller features in 1.0 though, so might get really good. I end up playing any class in controller sometimes, it makes the grind a bit different

[pallid thistle]

but i'm not very expert on skills & builds so i was wondering to some directions for that (avoiding spinning\whirlwinding :D)

[glacial stream]

Is there a way to change left / right click bindings? I want to be able to move with right click lol

[heady depot]

No, and it is not in the backlog right now

[sharp current]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205146896977633350 No

[glacial stream]

sad

[pallid thistle]

i develop software 8\10hrs day, is really different go home and playing with something that is not a keyboard & mouse 😄

[heady depot]

Yeah, I know the feeling. It is nice to just chill with a controller sometimes

[dim raven]

I might be blind but, there is no way to compare items with offhands?

[late geode]

this will be my first arpg. any tips?

[sharp current]

Have fun

[atomic elm]

read everything, have fun

[heady depot]

I think you can only compare itens in the same category, right? Maybe I didn't get your question

[heady depot]

If you are having fun you are doing it wrong

[cedar locust]

My Quick Tips copy/paste -

You don't need to keep everything, gear and gold come fast as you progress - do keep any gear you see a modifier on that you want though, there's a way to break down gear for upgrade shards!

Speaking of shards, runes and glyphs - just above your inventory you'll see a 'Transfer Crafting Materials' button, this moves all those items into their own storage to free up inventory space!

Also if you see loot without a name tag that you can't pick up, try 'Z' or 'Alt+Z'!

Other than that - just enjoy! Respeccing a character is super easy and you can get lots of great advice here on what to try out!

[dim raven]

I'm trying to compare a sword with my offhand sword, but it keeps comparing with my main hand (dagger)

[gaunt mason]

Do we know what the leaderboards is actually tracking? is it the time to clear certain maps? Level?

[heady depot]

Just kidding man, welcome!
