[late geode]

man this game looks good. super pumped for 1.0

[surreal verge]

You can't currently

[toxic echo]

arena wave completion

[dim raven]

ok thanks! i was going crazy reading everything and wasn't able to find it.

[gaunt mason]

so this is like endless waves of enemies and the highest wave reached is tracked? Basically like D3 greater rifts?

[toxic echo]

similar enough

[gaunt mason]

Ah thats really nice, thanks

[final frost]

gonna be playing after years, excited to see what the game has become now, the only thing im unsure about is the faction part, which one would be better..

[sharp current]

The one that fits your playstyle best

[heady depot]

There is no better, there is what fits you better

[sharp current]

You'll be able to gear up just fine either way so its just a matter of do you want to trade for gear or find it yourself.

[gaunt mason]

is there like an actual auction house? Or its like poe trade where you need a third party site to do it?

[pulsar veldt]

Should i only focus on one element with elementar nova?

[final frost]

i think there is an actual ah

[heady depot]

There is something like an AH in the trade faction, yes

[sharp current]

The AH is in game

[heady depot]

You do have some requirements to trade though

[gaunt mason]

i see

[final frost]

I mean early access game was basically ssf, so i guess i wanna check out how trading is, so will try it out

[heady depot]

Good thinking man, both will be nice. I decided to go "SSF" for my personal reasons, but it will be nice to see how trade will develop

[final frost]

i feel like gearing in this game was pretty easy because of how good crafting is (unless they made it harder to get better loot now)

[heady depot]

Both factions will have their ways to reach good gear. "SSF" has a good chance to have some really crazy exalted itens though, for example, because of the bonuses you get

Something that will not exist that easily in trade, and if so, will be kinda expensive

[final frost]

so if im playing with a friend, both of us have to be in the same faction so we can trade stuff right?

[weary tulip]

no you cant trade stuff on the lucker faction

you can only trade stuff in the merchant faction

[heady depot]

You can. But you need to have an specific item share with your friend

[toxic echo]

if playing with a friend you can GIFT together

[tame cobalt]

You can give each other items no matter what, but can't use the items if you have a different tag than what the item has

[weary tulip]

yea there is also a gift system and a trade to party member system

[heady depot]

"Resonance" allows you to trade with friends that you choose. But it seems that you have to use it wisely.

[tame cobalt]

That's only if you aren't playing together when it drops

[heady depot]

Yes, you are right.

Because if you are you can gift anyway...

[final frost]

i saw the resonance item has the player's name on it, how those that work?

[tame cobalt]

You drop resonances when you're in a party with someone that you can use later

[boreal apex]

excuse me fellas just wondering if there is anything special about that yellow hp that shows up and slowly decays whenever I get hit particularly hard, is there some sort of mechanic there or is it just fancy eye candy?

[final frost]

what if i have 20 friends, how do i give to someone specific

[dusky cosmos]

nobody got 20 friends

[tame cobalt]

Have to play with them for a while and get it to drop

[final frost]

true

[toxic echo]

yellow is a crit

[heady depot]

You will drop it while playing in a party with that specific person

[weary tulip]

can an item with 4 legendary potential leech off 2 exalted items with 2 having 2 affixes? or can it only leech off 1 single exalted item

[final frost]

ah ok makes sense

[sharp current]

1 item

[timber wasp]

The exalted input has to have 4 affixes

[dusky cosmos]

The resonance item is not an item you can "farm" 🙂

[surreal verge]

YOu can only craft a legendary with an exalted that has 4 affixes.

[weary tulip]

alright ty

[final frost]

can an exalted item have less than 4 affixes?

[dusky cosmos]

yes

[final frost]

ah i thought it always had 4

[heady depot]

In this case you have to craft something on it to be able to use it for LP

[dusky cosmos]

I dropped one with just one t6 affix on it, but it has to have 4 when you want to craft a legy

[unique kernel]

So you cant remove the 3 uesless affixes to make sure that the one that gets transfered is the one you actually want?

[final frost]

nope

[heady depot]

No

[dusky cosmos]

nops. in that case the craft system wouldnt be usefull

[unique kernel]

omg... thats so bad

[sharp current]

Correct, its part of the gamble

[heady depot]

lol?

[final frost]

not bad = just get an item with all 4 good affixes :p

[compact notch]

im not good with times :c can someone tell me how long left in hours for the game to coem back live with 1.0 please ?

[dusky cosmos]

Its not bad @unique kernel there is a reason why Legendary items called this way

[unique kernel]

it makes the grind for items 1000x longer but its fine. its part of it i guess

[storm blaze]

<t:1708534800:F>

[magic stream]

23 hourse, 9 minutes

[dusky cosmos]

it will go online in just 24 Hoours

[heady depot]

Yes, it is part of it and it is really hard to find someone that would like the opposite.

[unique kernel]

getting a LP4 good rolls item is tough in itselff, but i guess if theres LP4, then you can be sure that all 4 of the affixes on the exalted will be transfered correct?

[dusky cosmos]

But beware: You can start downloading the game / patch in 24 hours. No preload avabile

[storm blaze]

yes
good luck getting LP4 though

[unique kernel]

I have a lvl 95 Runemaster but i never once did the dungeon temportal to get to see the legendary crafting system

[heady depot]

LP4 in a good item*

[compact notch]

oh shhit exactly 24h OOOF welp thank u sooo mcuh ❤️

[dusky cosmos]

Every unique can have different drop chances based on the LP it has.

Some items have a higher chance to have for example more then 2 LP

[sage shale]

Anyone have guide for 1.0 Fire summoner?

[dusky cosmos]

There are items that can have 4 LP but they are so rare that you can literally play lotto and win a million dollar

[heady depot]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/
https://maxroll.gg/

[dusky cosmos]

some builds need to have a unqiue and you can make your own guide pretty easily by yourself 😛

[boreal apex]

Sorry, I mean this, https://prnt.sc/QOlhKTTlGH0N
pretty sure its not a crit

[sage shale]

maxroll doesn't have fire summoner build
unless im blind xd

and https://www.lastepochtools.com/ seems to be down

[heady depot]

Last Epoch Tools is coming back soon I think. There is one there

[sage shale]

okii 😄

[worldly shore]

Will thorns totem build still be a good build with the nerfs for 1.0 ?

[heady depot]

You can also use Youtube. Some content creators have it

[sage shale]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ngd79c7Kum8&t=184s is these still viable?

[dusky cosmos]

Yea because the nerfs didnt target the main idea of the build.

And I would rather prefer a "balance" then a "nerf" ^^

Nerf inflicts that the build is much worse then it should be , but the truth is, that there are many builds that were overpowered or bugged.

[dusky cosmos]

Hard to say. the video is almost a year old. many things changed. And like I said, some builds need to have a unquie in order to work.

[vague radish]

And when probably most of playing time I'll play alone is any good option to choose merchant faction? Trade on auction house seems interesting all the more of I'd like to have fun not to reach the beat place in leaderboard but I don't know whether it's worth.

[dusky cosmos]

If you want to blast the game, you should search for starter builds instead.

[weary tulip]

are there any cycle starter guides about good rare bases to craft early on in the ladder? i know obviously some stats are class dependand like magic/el damage on mage classes or phys on phys classes, but apart from that there must be some general good stats like resist, health , movespeed on boots etc

[dusky cosmos]

Trading is and will always be one of the strongest mechanics in every game, because you have the power to target buy an item.

[solid aurora]

is there a general advice as to when one should switch from a starter build to a more endgame build?

[dusky cosmos]

Imagine you play POE without trading and you have to farm items in order to play a certain build

[heady depot]

No, but a general advice is level 70 and having the itens required for the build you are swapping too

[dusky cosmos]

Yes, if you start playing a high corruption number ^^

Be aware: With 1.0 the mobs will be much stronger then before, therefor a 200 Corruption Echo will be much harder then before.

[wheat geode]

Will legacy characters not have access to the factions until the next season or will they get access when 1.0 drops?

[dusky cosmos]

They will, 1.0 is core.

All the things coming to the cicle will be in 1.0 legacy too

[compact notch]

is blademage is like a cool melee fighter with magic or he uses both melee and range ?

[heady depot]

He is a cool melee magic fighter, yes. Not in a really good spot though, but I did not check the patch notes for it

[meager jetty]

Do anyone have the dark mode of the class and mastery badge wheel picture? Could have sworn I saw that on reddit once

[fading cape]

btw who makes regional pricing on steam, gaben or game dev

[toxic echo]

steam. EHG is aware its not accurate

[fading cape]

im from 3rd world country and only switzerland pays more for last epoch wtf

it should be a bit cheaper, not 10-15% higher price than us dollar or euro xd

[trail wyvern]

Will I get afk kicked if I idle an offline character in game?

[sharp current]

No

[dusky cosmos]

I am sure you will have a chance to get keys based on giveaways on twitch. 🙂

[small whale]

how one transitions from a leveling build to a WIP personal endgame build in regards to exp for skills if you re max level? (shaman totem build to werebear swipe for example)

[sweet nymph]

Will there be "Legendary Potential" filtering in the loot fitler with 1.0?

[storm blaze]

no

[sharp current]

Skills relevel pretty fast when you respec. It wont really be much of a hinderance to swapping.

[dusky cosmos]

Run 3 echos and you are good to go.

The exp / level lose on changing a skill is nothing in the endgame. ^^

[shrewd bone]

Never played before so what's considered "actual endgame" in LE? Like how in PoE you are trying to get to t16 maps quickly

[wary totem]

How does coop scaling work, does enemy have more hp/defense/dmg? Also do you share XP (when you're not lvl 100 yet)?

[sharp current]

Endgame endgame is empowered monoliths

[storm blaze]

Enemy doesn't get more dmg
just hp

[visual violet]

Is there a guide somewhere where the classes are explained in a little detail for "newcomers"? :) So you can make an educated decision on what to play?

[shrewd bone]

Thanks

[rotund ocean]

is this possible to play offline now ?

[sharp current]

Only if you were already logged into a character

[rotund ocean]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn RIP.

[sharp current]

Educated decision in regards to what? Just play whatever looks fun. Every class is viable endgame to some degree.

There is no wrong decision

[dusky cosmos]

yes, you can play 100% offline with 1.0

[whole cargo]

i have a blue wand i want to add that suffix to and it won't let me, only chance to chill on hit and one other suffix

[dusky cosmos]

Nops, you can change the client in steam to offline with 1.0

[visual violet]

Playing "whatever looks fun" is not what I would call an "educated decision", it's actually quite the opposite. :)

I am looking to find more information on the different classes and masteries than the in-game description, but without having to read a full-blown guide. Something in between.

[sharp current]

That's not what he asked. He asked if he could play offline. Now. We don't have 1.0 yet.

[dusky cosmos]

Oh true, I am sorry.

[whole cargo]

maxroll, icy veins for guides

[dusky cosmos]

The offline-mod is the reason why there is no preload for the game too. 🙂

[surreal verge]

They can't exist on wands.

[prisma sleet]

help with rounding out a runemaster build

[glossy pulsar]

newbie question, do the leaderboards have a reward system or are they just bragging rights? I can't find anything online about them

[remote mirage]

valve only gives suggestions for prices, the actual regional pricing ultimately depends on the devs whether they want to opt-in for valve's suggested prices or decide themselves https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/pricing#5

[sharp current]

bragging rights

[tulip quartz]

Just got the game 30mins ago. Is the online any different from offline lvling wise? - Do I have to lvl side-by-side online, or is it just being able to see other players

[prisma sleet]

leaderboards are new so only bragging rights

[prisma sleet]

being able to see and trade with people

[remote mirage]

you dont get random people in campaign zones outside of hubs online, only in towns

[minor vigil]

You can play online totally solo

It's not an mmo

[tulip quartz]

Is there any reason to play offline then?

[dusky kite]

respec your skills, do one echo, they are level 20

[remote mirage]

you play offline when you want to play offline, all there is to it

[fossil shell]

Why can't I connect now?

[acoustic thicket]

you can pause the game, and with 2 kids thats enough for me to consider offline actually

[haughty ferry]

Hi everyone, I have a question, I have never played Last Epoch before and not even heard of it, but today i saw it for first time and it looked good and my question is, is this game worth to buy after it comes from early acces, I am really big fan of Diablo 2 and 3 and I enjoy very much these types of games, so I am looking for your honest opinions ty.

[dusky kite]

[dusky kite]

why don't you watch a couple of youtube reviews? Kinda hard to fit anything into a discord chat

[faint cape]

Early access ends in less than 24 hours now, may as well get it now to get the pre-order pet. I think you'll enjoy it since you like D2/3

[hollow sentinel]

Pretty big d2 fan here, only had LE for a couple days but I say it's a damn good game so far. Can't wait to see the full release

[hallow estuary]

Hi Everyone, is there a server list somewhere? i am running the game behind a firewall and need to open the network port to allow traffic.

[fossil shell]

Oh, so annoying. I was going to log in

[dry lotus]

D2 is my favorite game of all time and I’d say LE feels more like D2 than D3/4 does

[dusky kite]

not that we know of, try contacting the support

[gritty garnet]

hey is there any announcement about Multiplayer fixes? in terms of lags etc. for 1.0?

[storm blaze]

Did you have a look at the patch notes..?

[lunar geyser]

Too many pages 😄

[gritty garnet]

oh there is from yesterday i didnt see that thx!

[dusky kite]

yes, it's called the 1.0 patch notes

[pulsar token]

Does anyone know if the developers have said they would consider allowing respecs of masteries?

[native sail]

They will not consider them, no

[sharp current]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205137451354693632

[pulsar token]

Thanks! I only ask cuz like every video I've seen on the game hints that this could possibly be coming in the future

[native sail]

Yeah I dunno why, they've been pretty clear that they don't want that

[buoyant sinew]

feels like wishful thinking because so many players want it

[steel merlin]

Specially new players that see the game as having five classes instead of fifteen

[fading cape]

sad, was about to buy the game but price looked weirdly high. idk why they want Poland ppl to pay atleast 10% more than ppl from way richer countries

[static coral]

Which builds are considered the lowest APM endgame ? I assume warpath builds for WK/Paladins and what else ? Warlock also seem to be less demanding with all the autocasts isn't it ?

[remote mirage]

yeah, it doesnt make much sense but its a common theme with polish prices, average/minimum salary + buying power is somehow ignored when it comes to steam prices of games, its super stupid and you cant do anything about it; if it makes you feel any better EHG cut you 1% deal compared to Valve's suggested price https://steamdb.info/sub/993955/

[half drum]

I have a little problem. I finish last boss in Campain and game gonna crash. One big lag. I loggout and now in start screan of the game i press login and cannot go in. liggle mark of loading gonna around infinity. someone have same problem?

[storm blaze]

the servers are down.

[timber wasp]

#news

[half drum]

ooooouu... ok xd mb

[neon cargo]

is stash shared across characters?

[sharp current]

If they're in the same game mode.

[spice nacelle]

Hi, im new and confused. What exactly does "+ spell damage for curses" do for Chthonic Fissure? It just scales the base hit of Tormening Spirit at 25% effectivenes and Base fire damage? Or does it scale Torment itself too? When i hover over Torment itself it doesnt show damage effectivenes so im not sure if "+ spell damage for curses" work or not. If it does, whats the damage effectiveness?

[neon cargo]

also how long is a cycle/season? i couldnt find that info

[surreal verge]

It scales torment itself and only torment. (And other curses you might have)
If there's no listed damage effectiveness, it's 100%

[cobalt maple]

so is the "play offline" button still working for you guys?

[surreal verge]

4 months+-.

[sharp current]

Servers are down

So it begins

[severe elk]

it's not full offline

[solar leaf]

How does Lightless Arbor work in a party with friends? Can we take turns with that gold sink and friends can benefit from the loot or is that place designed to go alone?

[cobalt maple]

i was under the impression this whole time that offline mode was full offline, even was told something like that a day ago :D

[sharp current]

True offline comes with 1.0

[solar leaf]

We get full offline mode after 1.0

[sharp current]

Tomorrow 23.5 hours from now

[spice nacelle]

Thank you, Chthonic Fissure has a curse tag so i figured it scales the skill too. I guess it has the curse tag, cause it applies a curse.

[surreal verge]

Correct, exactly.

[deep widget]

why are people able to stream offline now? i cannot play offline, endless loading

[faint cape]

One player can spend gold per run. Only they get what they paid for, everyone else does get some generic loot from the chests, though.

[sharp current]

They were logged into an offline character before the servers went down.

[severe elk]

lyfehax

[solar leaf]

Cool thanks.

[deep widget]

so you have to have a offline created before the server went down?

[sharp current]

That's what I said, yes.

[surreal verge]

You had to be IN-GAME before the server went down

[deep widget]

ah ok ty for clarifying

[leaden fulcrum]

is it still free to dl before it launches or do you have to pay for it?

[storm blaze]

It's never been free to dl..?

[faint plinth]

is the release date time timezoned?

[leaden fulcrum]

i didnt pay to dl mine

[vagrant tangle]

What build would u recommend for a beginner for 1.0? I played some Summon Spriggan Druid during 0.9.2 but decided to wait for launch.

[terse roost]

a build with a playstyle you like

[modern crystal]

ugghh cant wait for 01:00 CT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vagrant tangle]

Well hard tellin not knowin

[solar leaf]

Everything I've played in Last Epoch has been "beginnering friendly" so far. Just build something you enjoy and it will change over time.

[final marsh]

when does the update drop?

[sharp current]

23.5 hours

[vagrant tangle]

I usually really enjoy following a good guide I don't really like experimenting myself when others have already done that

[digital ravine]

Hi, where can I leave a suggestion?

[final marsh]

so 12am tomorrow?

[vagrant tangle]

Is LE tools down?

[terse roost]

maxroll has a lot of build guides, with leveling guides for each class

[humble wolf]

any tips to buypass login screen and play offline?

[flint abyss]

I'm sure it was asked before but I can't exactly find the info right now
do we keep our early access characters at launch?

[final marsh]

12pm tomorrow

[sharp current]

You can't

[digital ravine]

@storm blaze @sharp current thanks ❤️

[sharp current]

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

[vagrant tangle]

Are these actually good for LE I remember them being pretty bad for D4

[flint abyss]

thank you c:

[terse roost]

cant say i've really tried them tbh. last time i used maxroll was for Lost Ark, but that was like 1.5 years ago

[vagrant tangle]

I think I would like to try paladin. I really liked Paladin in D2

[surreal verge]

You shouldn't be able to do that.

[sharp current]

LE is pretty friendly for going in blind without a build guide.

[steel merlin]

Maybe someone that only tried in the free trial a year ago?

[leaden fulcrum]

well i didn't and ive had it for a long time now ;D

[steel merlin]

Oh piracy gotcha

[sharp current]

You're either mistaken or you pirated it.

[surreal verge]

Either piracy or you kickstarted.

[remote mirage]

if its not on your steam then you pirated it

[surreal verge]

There's no shame, I pirated the game at 0.8 then bought it after MP dropped. 👍

[terse roost]

questionable place to admit that lmao

[leaden fulcrum]

le is on my steam

[steel merlin]

How much did you play?

[surreal verge]

Then you bought it.
It's very simple...

[steel merlin]

Have you been playing all this time? Or only the week you downloaded

[raven kelp]

is crafting permanent?

[surreal verge]

Yes?

[solar leaf]

Explain further?

[raven kelp]

in the forge for armor, items, etc. Can I break down an item to get back shards, etc?

[solar leaf]

Yes. Rune of Removal will remove 1 of the 4 affixes at random, for a quantity equal to the tier that it removes. Rune of Shattering will remove any number of them for a quantity of 1.

[raven kelp]

thanks!

[remote mirage]

just have in mind that rune of removal uses forging potential so if you have 0, you cant use it

[solar leaf]

Good point. Basically, use Rune of Removal if an item drops that has high tier of affixes for shards you really like (valuable class stuff), and you can remove all 4 affixes if you'd like as long as you have forging potential to do it.

[leaden fulcrum]

i got a guestpass from someone but i can't remember who gave it to me, ive had it since nov 22 never paid for it

[surreal verge]

... Guest passes don't exist for LE.

[remote mirage]

i think they mean this https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1150yc5/tag_a_friend_signup_for_last_epochs_free/

[leaden fulcrum]

it says so in my dl history on steam

[steel merlin]

See? Free trial

[terse roost]

just download it on release. if you cant get in you dont own it. simple as

[gaunt mason]

Im guessing LP will use a seasonal system on release? If so, do we get exclusive season 1 rewards that u cant get any other season?

[steel merlin]

Lp?

[storm blaze]

no seasonal rewards currently

[surreal verge]

No

[gaunt mason]

Kk ty

[surreal verge]

Well, if that joozek posted is legit, then no you don't have an actual copy of the game, it's a demo.

[quiet storm]

hey guys anyone knows if its better to do a clean instalation or just update the game?

[solar leaf]

Update should be just fine.

[leaden fulcrum]

i didn't get it from there, but i think i got from either my bf or my littlebrother, but i guess i'll find out tomorrow when it launches 😉

[gaunt mason]

U recommend downloading current version to get feel for classes? Or best to hodl

[surreal verge]

Servers are down, so....

[terse roost]

you cant play right now

[gaunt mason]

Oh ok

[candid elm]

The login servers are down. So come back in about 23 hours to play : )

[tulip hill]

for making legendaries, i've read:

"By 'same type' we mean it fits in the same gear slot."

To verify, does this mean I can make a legendary by combining a 1h sword and 1h axe or say a mage's relic with a primalist's relic?

[cobalt orchid]

Can you play offline? 😄

[sharp current]

Only if you were already logged into an offline character.

[surreal verge]

1h sword with 1hsword, 2h axe with 2haxe.

[tulip hill]

not until after the patch when true offline is added.
u need to login to play offline rn

[worn monolith]

Hi guys, I know the server are down now, is there anyone play in offline mode? I mean I tried playing offline mode but I cant

[dusky kite]

no but we don't have anybody better (yet) so yor options aren't exactly stellar

[surreal verge]

Offline needs a login check currently, and since you can't login....

[cobalt orchid]

Thank you guys! 🙂

[sharp current]

Well I'm glad we're not playing a drinking game. I'd have alcohol poisoning already.

[gentle frost]

man... i woke up wanting to play...

[tulip hill]

ok so same item type itself rather than slot. gotcha, thanks!

[cobalt orchid]

Bought the game a couple of hours ago, didn't realise it was going to go offline straight away... well... tomorrow is another day 😄

[surreal verge]

I wish I can say "Reading issue" without getting CMed....

[candid elm]

23 hours!

[fallen quest]

hey guys, ill play le for the first time tomorrow and people probably asked this question already. are there better sites for builds then maxroll? if not ill probably just pick one from maxroll 🙂

[terse roost]

lastepochtools.com, but its down right now

[fallen quest]

okay tyvm 🙂

[sharp current]

Maxroll is fine, lots of content creators will have their own starter builds posted too.

[low dagger]

Search Youtube for starter builds. They mostly link to lastepochtools

[rapid prairie]

what the best build to play in last epoch ... ? for the new season

[low dagger]

There are lots of good builds.

[solar leaf]

Maxroll is where a lot of people are putting htier builds. But I honestly encourage you to just play and you may be surprised that you don't need a build guide. I feel the ARPG community has been beat over the head with build guides.

[solar leaf]

The one you find the most interesting!

[sullen heath]

Can 4 players in CoF play in party, farm maps and trade items they dont need via Player Trade?

hey will we be able to predl the patch before tomorrow 6 pm ?

[solar leaf]

Player gifting, yes.

[rapid prairie]

new on the game ...

i never used maxroll thats why i asked. im coming from poe where i always picked league starter builds from youtube and i min maxed them in endgame. i just wanted to make sure im not picking completly troll builds 😄

LETools is down

[toxic echo]

yes. it is also down due to traffic

[solar leaf]

So go look at the classes and pick one that sounds interesting to you. You may find "the best build" (if one exists) to be completely boring.

[mystic agate]

Good stuff

[candid elm]

It's ok to make your own build the first time you play as well. It's very easy to respec in this game. You can change everything except your initial class and mastery.

[low dagger]

Fire necromancer is good, but it's kind of boring

[fallen quest]

that sounds perfect. any recommandation for a class which is safe to play and will make endgame content "easier" for me?

[rapid prairie]

so its not like the other games ?? like there is a meta build or something like that

[solar leaf]

Path of Exile has left a lot of people battered and bruised making us feel like we need a build guide to play these games. Last Epoch it's not necessary.

[solar leaf]

Where metas can exist, people will find a meta.

[low dagger]

Meta builds require specific gear that you don't have yet

[carmine mortar]

Is there a reason my lightning blast isnt chaining to other enemies? I have the node that lets it chain to me and on the same enemy so does it priotize chaining on the same enemy over jumping to others?

[sullen heath]

which necro build should be strong in 1.0, build or builds? sacrifice zombies? wraith? other?

[rapid prairie]

but u have to choose the right class to make the build that u need

[candid elm]

You'll be able to complete the campaign with any of them. Especially if you have any ARPG experience. There's just a couple bosses like Lagon and Majasa that tend to be difficult

[solar leaf]

Make the build that you want. What do you mean build that you need?

[faint cape]

Mostly the same ones as now, plus some new ones enabled by new uniques and warlock skills

[south quarry]

is last epoch currently unavailable?

[low dagger]

Meh. Leveling a new character is really fast.

[low dagger]

24 hour maintenance just started. Big patch tomorrow

[unique gate]

see #news

[frank iris]

true, i was amazed at how fast you could choose your mastery

[tight violet]

Convergence?

[solar leaf]

Yea Mastery selection is like level ~15

[rich meteor]

Is it worth rolling a support Paladin? Will they sought after for grouping up?

[carmine mortar]

Lol reading op

[low dagger]

Don't build for support unless you have someone to support

Paladin is really good solo, though

[solar leaf]

I'm considering this as well. I play with 2-3 other friends and I'd be interested to try a strong support build just for when we play together.

[frank iris]

is there a download that we can preload for tomorrow? my last update was 2/17

[boreal cape]

I was just told that by choosing circle of fortune, over opting in to the trade economy, in time, the players who choose the solo style will actually be finding items that people who opt in to the trade guild will never see? Is this true in any form?

[sharp current]

No

[faint cape]

No

[agile grail]

I just bought the game today and start leveling a sentinel, will i lost my progress when 1.0 come out? Or maybe there is a reason to level anew character?

[solar leaf]

Sounds completely false to me.

[frank iris]

cool thanks, just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing it

[solar leaf]

I don't want to play this drinking game anymore.

[topaz mason]

maxroll or icy veins be best for builds on launch?

[limber stag]

guys, i just downloaded the game through steam and cant play, only tomorrow to play the game?

[solar leaf]

lol

[agile grail]

yes, servers is down for 24 hrs

[solar leaf]

Help...!

[limber stag]

ty guys

[solar leaf]

How long before it happens again

[terse roost]

less than 5min im sure

[ocean flax]

Hello

[candid elm]

No, there's no character wipes. But unless you're already playing the character in offline mode, you're not going to be able to login for about 23 hours

[ocean flax]

What is Least played class/masteries?

[boreal cape]

ty for the answers

[sharp current]

Probably sorceror and forge guard.

[rich meteor]

I feel like Paladins provide support by default with most of their abilities, I guess my biggest concern is whether the innate support value outweighs the raw dps of other classes and builds, you know?

[boreal cape]

literally the two I've played so far and would want to play again XD

[agile grail]

thank you!

[daring rain]

Hello everyone, I´m a Diablo IV player, there is a class/build like Druid Stormclaw ? I like it and I want to play something like that.

[solar leaf]

Yea, that's my consideration as well and what I want to test. Like, would I be a detriment to the party if I focused more on support than going in on tons of damage with passive healing/buffs. I think the Healing Hands tree is going to be a ton of fun to build with!

[hidden marten]

i got a question regarding the cycle system if my assumptions are correct

when a new cycle starts, i can choose to add my recent characters to some sort of legacy what ever that exaclty is, or i can just keep playing them, but then i cannot compete in the arena ladder with them, or how does it work?

kr

[candid elm]

There's a lot of Druid builds in Last Epoch. What is the Stormclaw one in D4 like?

[buoyant sinew]

So I think what's happening here is that people are talking about the bonuses to exalted affixes that CoF gets, because depending on how they work exactly it's possible that they make multi-exalted items vastly more common, like 100+ fold if you take the most generous interpretation. That means it's actually plausible to find good double exalted items whereas it isn't really to find them yourself as MG

[candid elm]

Yes. There's no wipes. The Cycle characters are moved to the regular legacy game mode when the Cycle ends

[buoyant sinew]

but the flipside is that most double exalts you find are still bad for you, and MG has the entire server pooling their finds

[sharp current]

Tempest strike maybe

[solar leaf]

Any characters that are not part of hte current cycle are considered "Legacy". Whether that's a newly created non-cycle character or a previous cycle character that is no longer running.

[buoyant sinew]

so it seems like it might even out (and yeah regardless has nothing to do with items being literally impossible for MG)

[surreal verge]

You might as well do both, do damage WHILE supporting.
Healing doesn't matter if both you and the enemy get one-shotted anyway

[hidden marten]

oh ok, and besides the arena ladder there is no difference or is there more?

[solar leaf]

Currently there is no difference other than a fresh start economy if you're Merchant's Guild.

[rich meteor]

Yeah I'm really curious to see how the new Healing Hands tree plugs in to Paladin builds. Like if it gets to a point where Paladins create overall sustain for the party on top of the buffs it gives with his other abilities, I feel like that'll the tipping point

[hidden marten]

what exaclty is that?

[solar leaf]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

Last Epoch will have 2 Factions: Merchant's Guild (trade) and Circle of Fortune (player found).

This post will explain everything you'd like to know.

[hidden marten]

and i can only join them if i have a current cycle character?

[solar leaf]

no

But Cycle and Regular/Legacy will have separate economies, obviously.

[hidden marten]

well thats fine then

[candid elm]

There's no content difference this Cycle. If you want to start fresh with everyone, Cycle.

[rich meteor]

For sure, I wouldn't want their to be a full support build that does little to nothing on its own.

[hidden marten]

my idea was that i have my one favourite class which i m gonna farm the living hell out of it and make it my legacy character, and each cycle i would try out a different class

[rich meteor]

@surreal verge How do you feel about poison after the 1.0 patch notes?

[surreal verge]

Poison unchanged, still dogwater. 🇫

[rich meteor]

Dang

[sharp current]

Dogwater would probably do better actually.

[surreal verge]

Now now, it has poison overlord now, it's doing SOMETHING.

[toxic anvil]

Why’s poison bad?

[rich meteor]

🤣

[toxic anvil]

Low base?

[dreamy grotto]

You can't access offline Mode either while maintenance, correct?

[surreal verge]

One of the lowest base damage ailments, not a single hit skill tied to it, all it has is res shred as it's 'more' which there's so much it might as well be an 'increased' mod

[toxic anvil]

Ah ok

[candid elm]

You can definitely do that. They setup the game modes and trade factions so that you can pick what you want to do. If you prefer farming items yourself, circle of fortune. If you like to trade items, merchant's guild. You can also switch which one you're aligned with.

[boreal cape]

Yes, this is probably exactly what I am asking about. And it sounds like these are some of the best items in the game, for end game. Yet the ladder is shared, and people who have exponentially more access to god tier stuff will surely out-gear those who don't, and likely outperform them?

[sharp current]

correct

[toxic anvil]

Is arena viable endgame content over monos?

[frail pasture]

hello guys, im newbee here i cant log in game, maintenance mode or something?

[solar leaf]

This sounds entirely speculative at the moment.

[candid elm]

After this 1.0 update, they're adding a true offline mode. But currently, yes.

[unique gate]

see #news

[minor vigil]

no

[candid elm]

Yes. About 22.5 hours to go

[minor vigil]

necromancer

[hidden marten]

btw will the 1.0 feature new skins?

[dreamy grotto]

Alright, thanks for the info guys 🙂

[toxic anvil]

So what’s the point?

[frail pasture]

sorry my bad 😅

[minor vigil]

you can vendor the keys for gold (also there are some exclusive uniques)

[tall cipher]

Hey, can't play offline while servers are down ? well I tried =D

[toxic anvil]

Do they sell for much?

[frank iris]

take a drink yall

[candid elm]

Not currently. After the 1.0 update a true offline option is being added.

[unique gate]

No worries

[velvet garnet]

offline for beta isn't a real offline, only 1.0 will bring true offline mode, the only way was to connect to game before the maintenance and keep the game active.

[solar leaf]

I actually can't stand up anymore.

[minor vigil]

6k

[frank iris]

i just joined and im getting a little toasty, this is gonna be a long day lol

[solar leaf]

You think this is bad, go sit and read #💬┃general for even 5 minutes.

[minor vigil]

also theres an arena leaderboard so you can use it to test your build and show off

[toxic anvil]

Can I farm arena keys straight up?

[minor vigil]

theyre a common monolith echo (map) reward

[lapis minnow]

Is there a plugin or downloadable that can help with summing up your recent dps, seen some creators use it

[solar leaf]

You can farm keys in Mono

[low dagger]

Keys are random rare-ish drops.

Not too rare, though

[dusky kite]

some falconer degeneracy no doubt, new class = more op in this game

and rogue = baseline op

[boreal cape]

Actually, I think it makes a lot of sense and is how things are.

[dusky kite]

not really, but mono nodes can reward arena keys (unlike dungeon keys for instance)

[sharp current]

Not that I'm aware of, probably best to ask those creators what they're using.

[solar leaf]

But the factions aren't in the game yet. How can you say how things are?

[dusky kite]

Haven't seen any of those creators, got an example?

[low dagger]

Lostepochtools has a DPS calculator, but only for a handful of skills.

[boreal cape]

Okay, so just to repeat it back to you, to be sure I've got it: On paper, it sounds like CoF merely gives you twice the likelihood of t7 affixes. But in practice, we're trying to get multiple T7 affixes on the same item - at which point, the capacity to achieve this via CoF represents an exponentially greater likelihood, as opposed to 'twice' the likelihood. Is that it?

[boreal cape]

I'm not really interested in philosophically examining what is and what will be, but rather, what has actually been shared, and what we are given to believe, at present, will be.

[solar leaf]

We won't know what will happen or how it will be until its live. That's all I'm saying. Until then, it's entirely speculative.

[boreal cape]

Yeah, well, it sounds like a horribly designed outcome at present, and it's completely fair to note that, without having to invoke "but anything can change in the future"

[low dagger]

We just don't know. If more people think MG will be good, then it will be good because the more people buy and sell, the better it will be.

If more people decide they just want to see more and better drops from CoF, then MG will be terrible.

[solar leaf]

What's horribly designed about it?

[boreal cape]

@ivory owl for the love of everything, please fix this outcome

[sharp current]

[solar leaf]

🍿 wow

[dense root]

just for the record it's against the rules to ping ehg staff

[boreal cape]

The part where some players have exponentially more access to god tier items than others do, rather than 2x the access, but trade is supposed to compensate (but won't, because everyone in trade is also exponentially less likely to find that stuff, than the CoF-ers)

[sharp current]

#rules 10

[last tide]

People really do be like that

[dusky kite]

We have speculation from closed testers though, the maxroll guys all said basically "COF needed major buffs to be remotely competitive even when MG had about 60-200 players on it"

[boreal cape]

I see, thanks for the heads up

[solar leaf]

As I said, this is just speculation.

[last tide]

It's common sense... for all non-entitled people.

[sharp current]

Not neccessary

[boreal cape]

Lot of crotchety energy that I'm not interested in, just trying to discuss a topic here without people moralizing the chat itself, good grief

Massive reddit energy atm, bring me your downvotes, for whatever it is that you get out of such petty behavior, lol

[solar leaf]

All I'm saying is you're decreeing it a "terrible design" when we haven't seen what it's going to look like.

[dusky kite]

You aren't trying to discuss anything, you are just whining

[outer oriole]

Guys if I have a character now on levell 95, do i move it to the new league tomorrow or do i play it out of the season

[boreal cape]

I won't be talking about anything other than the topic itself rom here forward 🙂

[solar leaf]

k!

[low dagger]

You can't move it to the new league. You can leave it on legacy or start over in the cycle.

[honest anvil]

i kinda skimmed through the discussion, it seems like the concern is that cof players will have way higher chances of double exalted gear as an indirect consequence of their bonuses right?

I think its important to consider that trading is also an extremely powerful tool that converts pretty much every wrong affix into something meaningful to progress. You get something you can't use, you sell it, and you buy whathever you want. This means that trading provides a way more reliable way of making progress in theory, given that your end goals, by sheer numbers of players dropping gear, will always exist and be available for trade

[boreal cape]

That is the way it should work. But in my understanding of the current implementation, that is not at all how it will work.

[outer oriole]

okay thanks, didnt now that. Does this character get affected by the new nerfes ?

[sharp current]

Even if true and CoF has an exalted item advantage. You don't need double T7 items to do all content in the game.

[low dagger]

Game will have the same changes for everyone

[twin cipher]

Can I sell all drops while leveling or do I need to keep anything for endgame?

[low dagger]

You can't trade until the last act.

[solar leaf]

I'm sure there will be tons of discussion around this when it goes live and we see how it actually works in the game and if it ends up being broken to be entirely in favor of CoF or MG then EHG will make adjustments to correct course.

[wild matrix]

do leagues start tomorrow? (maybe seasons is what i mean actually)

[low dagger]

The devs will make adjustments if they're necessary

[solar leaf]

Selling to vendors is almost entirely pointless in Last Epoch. Either don't pick it up, or shatter the item for shards.

[outer oriole]

okay so i can basiclly throw my mage frost wall and flame ward build in the trash, because of that 12 second coldown xD

[boreal cape]

Just because some people don't care about fairness or competition for themselves personally, does not mean that it's a wise idea to have a shared leaderboard that consists of both players who have exponentially more access to god tier items, and those who don't. This is a straight forward point that a person must be intending to not appreciate, and must not personally care about, in order to schlup off and disregard - which is the only attitude I'm finding in this chat right now. But this chat is not representative of everyone, in particular, all the people who will choose trade, only to find out that there's nothing they can really do to resolve the exponential disparity between their access to god tier items, and the other half of players access to god tier items.

[acoustic thicket]

items can only be traded once? wheree have people seen this info?

[last tide]

CoF - you have a higher chance to find T7, but low chance of finding the affixes you want

MG - you have a lower chance to find it yourself, but you are also sharing drops with ~200k other players. So if they find t7 they don't need, you can search for exactly what you want and buy it.

most importantly - YOU get to pick your faction. So if you think one is objectively better than the other for your playstyle and goals, then YOU can pick that one.

[boreal cape]

This isn't a matter of opinion, it's mathematical and observable. Exponential disparity is a description of exactly that. Not a magically equal, but not yet understood, for unknown reasons, equality.

[sharp jasper]

can i play offline rn?

[low dagger]

no

[frank iris]

take a drink

[honest anvil]

(for what is worth i completely agree that leaderboards should be separate, these two game modes are impossible to balance and accurately define as equal. And this should be common sense too)

[acoustic thicket]

if u had connected before patch if not then no

[frigid tapir]

Yay trade is so strong. CoF needs those perks to even be considered

[rapid prairie]

thanks bro !!

[solar leaf]

I agree CoF and MG should be separate leaderboards

[acoustic thicket]

obviously they should be seperate

[frigid tapir]

wont be possible because you can change mid ways

[solar leaf]

yep

[dusky kite]

Double t7 affix item with an affix combination that's useless to your build is just a dead item by the way

[honest anvil]

na matter which side we think that will have a better experience and performance through leaderboards, it will always be one of the extremes. which simply shows that it should be separate either way :p

[frigid tapir]

this

[dense root]

i'm not convinced your math is actually correct, at least based on how you're describing it

[boreal cape]

What does the word exponential mean to you?

[dusky kite]

So by that logic this COF bonus does indeed have a chance to produce.. more trash. While on MG most drops you don't need have at least some sale value, other than items that are just bad by all metrics

[last tide]

It would be based on the gear the player is wearing. So it wouldn't matter if you can switch back and forth. One leaderboard for people with MG gear and one for CoF gear

[rare surge]

yo boys I need some help. Coming to play last epoch from POE. In POE I played tornado shot and scaled it to 5 mirrors. What kind of build in last epoch scales as well as tornado shot and play somewhat similar?

[surreal verge]

It's in the news post about trade, do you want a dev comment instead?

[acoustic thicket]

either works thx, read the post didnt see it but will read again XD

[boreal cape]

I think the people in this chat who don't see it yet, should give pause over the fact that a plurality of others in the chat do see it. Think about it again.

[dusky kite]

Everybody will be in a bad spot compared to a 4 man team that just funnels all their resources into one member regardless of what faction they play on, this will be the competitive meta as long as the developers don't functionally remove multiplayer.

[soft echo]

Hey kinda new here are we able to log in or are servers down? 😦

[frigid tapir]

I dont like the idea of splitting the community this way

[dense root]

i mean show me your math if you want to convince me. i'm open to changing my mind but you just repeatedly using the word exponential doesn't do that

[boreal cape]

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

[tight violet]

I don't underestimate trade, but I do think the bind on trade kind of defeats the purpose and goes against what makes trade fun.

[solar leaf]

Lumi, you're kind of just yelling at the sky at the moment. 1.0 isn't live yet and we don't know what it will look like in production. Why don't you go into #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs with your questions or air your concerns.

[dusky kite]

The topic is based on your erroneous assumption that isn't backed by anything other than "facts" pulled outta your ass, and we can't refute it with anything other than "facts" pulled straight outta our asses, so this discussion is pointless and I'm not going to engage in it further with the 30 second cooldown

[surreal verge]

Why do some other people assuming trade will beat CoF?

[boreal cape]

I'm sure that's why it resonates with others

[frigid tapir]

I personally dislike flipping any items. So I see it as positive items get marked. It keeps the market from oversaturating

[acoustic thicket]

im asking if i buy a item use it get bored of the build sell it again

[queen grotto]

Anyone else having trouble connecting to offline mode?

[tight violet]

because it will. It's just the mathematical answer.

[solar leaf]

No you can't.

[surreal verge]

That lirerally tells you that. You can't sell tagged items.
You can only sell an item that is untagged.

[last tide]

just because a particular QQ "resonates with others" doesn't make it accurate or valid.

[dense root]

i haven't actually seen anyone else agree with you... but again i'm giving you a chance to change my mind. you say it's mathematically proven that one is better than the other. can i see the math?

[acoustic thicket]

sadge ty for the answer @surreal verge @solar leaf

mg or cof, one will be observably better than the other for climbing leaderboards and players will find which one that is. this is the way of things

[frigid tapir]

Trade is most likely more powerful. He is most likely right in that regard.

[dense root]

no they're saying cof is more powerful

[solar leaf]

lol - people just making assertions. Factions aren't even released, we have no clue what will be true.

[frigid tapir]

who? the devs?

[dense root]

lumi is

[flint forge]

Devs said they want to balance MG and CoF, not have one be obviously stronger.

[frigid tapir]

which they should of course

[surreal verge]

Their target is a 7:3 ratio, fyi. so unless one whole faction is abandoned...

[candid trail]

Whats a good source for premade loot filters?

[boreal cape]

Because they are trusting that things will be well designed to work as we would imagine they should, where trade can compensate for the straight forward trade off.

But it is not as straight forward as first glance would assume. One more time, for those who haven't seen it yet. This is the issue:

A player in CoF gets 2x the T7 affix occurrence likelihood. If all items maxed at a single T7 affix, then this benefit would be straight forward. However - that is not the case. You can accrue multiple T7 affixes on a single item. The capacity to get an item with multiple ideal T7 affixes, is exponentially more for the player who sees them merely twice as often, then, as opposed to for the players who do not.

This either does, or does not, make sense to you. And if you cannot respond to it in manner that is in context and bust instead consists exclusively of "ur wrong" - that is absolute balogna.

[tight violet]

flipping items wasn't what I was trying to get at. AH pretty much eliminates all low effort flipping. The only flipping you can do is buying -> crafting -> reselling. You still need resources for all steps so there is no "hideout warrior". So even without the limit, there is no flipping. Saturation of a market isn't an issue. High frequency trades are the issue. They solved high frequency trades with needing a resource to trade.

[tranquil oracle]

where are the voice chats? why are they gone D:

[last tide]

but devs have said they understand that once the economy is rolling, being able to search/buy perfect gear will of course be stronger than CoF... because it's obvious

[minor vigil]

locked for moderation purposes for a while

[dense root]

ok lumi has repeatedly ignored my requests for the math so i am sadly forced to come to the conclusion that they simply are pulling numbers out of thin air

[solar leaf]

had me until that last paragraph 😂

[tranquil oracle]

@minor vigil oh ty, i was worried they wont haveit anymore

[surreal verge]

0.0000001% x2 is still 0.0000002%....

[boreal cape]

facepalm moment, good luck with trade system fam

[terse roost]

AH does not come close to eliminating flipping lmao

[honest anvil]

even that is not possible, cause the item is bound to you once purchased

[river whale]

anyone know of a loot filter that'll be good for trading? most all ive seen "hide all items not for your class"

[frigid tapir]

I still think that saturation is an issue. A lot of uniques and other items would be much less valuable without the tag.

[solar leaf]

and pinging Judd, demanding he drops everything he's doing and take notice of their concerns immediately.

[tight violet]

Yes. this is a continued conversation working under the assumption that was removed.

[foggy condor]

is offline mode working?

[velvet garnet]

i think the CoF / Trade is pretty well balanced, as a solo player or just playing with a few friends you can't compare versus a worlwide player base farming for loot (yes bazar is worldwide), yes you would get less loot, but the fact that you can purchase anything you need and sell the one you get makes it a powerful advantage, also you have to consider that trading people will have more gold, that mean more gold sink possible in the form of boosting dungeons as one exemple (and thus getting even more loots). I think both of them have pro's and cons, and it will probably be rebalanced after a while if needed, the game is new, they don't have enough datas to make it perfect yet.

[solar leaf]

So not interested in engaging with them anymore because they want to air their grievances and not actually have a discussion if anyone asks a qualifying question or for data.

[last tide]

and again, if you feel CoF is stronger, play CoF. You aren't the fairness police. Play how you want to play. Let others do the same. Or... do what EHG did and design a better game/system!

[honest anvil]

my bad then

[surreal verge]

No.

[cedar locust]

While the concerns are valid - the team have said they will be keeping a close eye on Factions and the balance and can make adjustments based on player feedback! If there are any concerns you would like a clear-as-possible answer on, then asking Mike in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs is your best bet.

If after 1.0 has launched you have feedback on how the balance has played out, then making a post in #1123697853882187847 , on the Feedback Forum, or through the in game reporting tool is the best place to post them so we can get those in front of the Team!

[foggy condor]

ok thanks @surreal verge

[boreal cape]

It's sad how difficult it is to simply discuss game design without people becoming so weirdly moralizing and interpersonal. What a bad invitation, to waste our time, bickering like kids on the internet. My sincere thanks to those many who did engage sincerely instead of showing us all they derive a sense of self esteem from condecsending every random internet person they disagree with 🙂

[last tide]

[boreal cape]

[visual sun]

This is totally off topic to the current conversation but Eterras blessing was very inconsistent when spamming it during the beta. Anyone know if it was fixed? Or used it recently and it feels good?

[cedar locust]

Chat can be civil or I can time-out - consider this topic now over

[last tide]

super predictable that someone that acts like you would use the clown emoji... super transparent.

[surreal verge]

I'm serious, how would 0.00001% x2 make a HUGE difference?
You still gotta win lotteries, just less of them all in a row.

[onyx spade]

question: is there a way to make an unarmed character, like a monk?

[tight violet]

Base item and even 1 LP uniques are going to be much less valuable regardless because of their drop rates. The game was already balanced for SSF imo. It did not take much to self gear and get your uniques. There would have to be major nerfs for saturation to not be a thing.

[marsh spade]

You guys looking at the Grim Dawn expansion to pass the time?

[solar leaf]

Falcon Punch! There's a new unique item for Falconers apparently.

[velvet garnet]

yes and it seems to be pretty powerful on paper

[azure moth]

Hi there! im newbee in LE, but.. Does any guild stash for friends in LE? or only resonators we should use?

[onyx spade]

ah ok, i just got the game so im 100% out of the loop, thanks

im very curious to see what value baseline uniques will have for instance, given that there isn't any form of reference from previous versions or regions at all

I think trading will be very interesting in the first week

So which class will be your first to build in 1.0? I will toss a coin to decide for rogue or mage 😛

[cinder hamlet]

Do each character have their own monolith progression? Or can I have an alt for bosses and a main that speed clears?

[timber wasp]

What even is a lot of gold to ask for, for decent items

[solar leaf]

Monolith is separate for each character

[frigid tapir]

If thats the case then fair. I dont have to much time in the game yet. But in general I would assume most/new players do in fact struggle especially early game. Which could lead to saturation even if drop rates are balanced around ssf

[onyx spade]

either mage or paladin

[flint forge]

Here's the short explanation of the difference between MG and CoF:

MG - You will be grinding for money. You will see a lot less valuable items, but you can sell them and buy specifically what you need. WIth enough money you can buy perfect items for your build, but you'll have to have a LOT of money (and grinding) to achieve that.
CoF - You will be grinding for items. You will see way more valuable items, but if your build requires very specific affixes you will have to grind longer.

In my opinion, the way I plan to choose my factions for each char is like this:
MG - You have a very specific build with very specific affixes you need to push high tiers.
CoF - I have a flexible build that can take advantage of a handful of different affixes, or I don't quite know what my path is yet.

[frigid tapir]

Druid most likely

[hidden mica]

I understand the math, but there are too many unknowns to draw any conclusions.

We don't know...

1. The current rate of an item dropping with an exalted affix and/or the chance of multiple T7 affixes.
2. The severity of the drop rate nerf coming with 1.0 to balance against the item factions.
3. The amount of players choosing MG vs CoF and actively participating in trade.
4. The meta/build diversity of 1.0. If a small number of builds pull far ahead, more people will gravitate toward them and make some items/affixes skyrocket in price. It will also mean less-popular affixes won't be sold as much since people would rather be listing the big ticket items. An economy like that would favor MG if you're a meta build or CoF if you're going for a less popular build.

Can druids turn into a cat

[deft sentinel]

"Center timeline node has been made visually more prominent to aid people finding it more easily when having a timeline with many echoes unveiled"
The distance between the echos and the center matter? If not, why this small change?

[weak current]

If you have a node that converts a skill to another damage type, AND a unique that converts 50% how does it work?
Example being fire acid bomb from rogue, and the new relic that converts half to cold damage.

[naive pike]

Are enemy levels static?

[hidden mica]

It does matter. The distance of the path from the center gives increased stability I believe. If not stability there is SOME benefit

[icy drift]

enemies scale with area level, they have no independent level

[sharp current]

No harm in making things more visible, there doesn't need to be a specific reason.

[naive pike]

To me that's static enough.

[trail moss]

Would it be a supported suggestion to add a small flashing indicator when you have an item just sitting in your forge?

I always seem to forget i have stuff sitting in there.

[hollow mantle]

is there ray tracing and path tracing for LE ?

[solar leaf]

#1123698164503949392

[sullen heath]

how long is 1-100 in hours?

[low dagger]

Yes. No scaling with character level

[frigid tapir]

depends on how you play

[icy drift]

if you see a wengari axe thrower in a level 5 zone they're level 5, if you see them in a level 90 zone they're level 90, 5 != 90, to me that's not static, but i see where you're coming from.

[sullen heath]

usually keyboard and mouse?

[naive pike]

I'm thankful for that. Enemy autoscaling tends to feel bad.

[frigid tapir]

depends on the build you play

[naive pike]

To your level, I mean.

[sullen heath]

wraiths?

[frigid tapir]

depends on your luck and skill level

[sullen heath]

yes

[frigid tapir]

indeed

[hidden mica]

How quickly can speedrunners and racers get to 100 from a fresh start?

[sullen heath]

come on, help a brother out, pls

[naive pike]

How do parties work? Is there downscaling?

[frigid tapir]

sure, how can I help 🙂

[boreal cape]

I intend to proceed as planned, before I noticed this. I'll offer my faith to the team in getting it right in time, and hopefully in enough time ^^ If I get to my end game stretch and am trying to compete with others in large part via acquiring the same tier of items, but find that this issue persists, I'll simply have more incentive to quit the game. It'll be fun until then, and yes, we'll just have to see what the future brings. It's concerning that so few players recognize the issue at base, to begin with - let alone when it is pointed out. I think that's cause for expressing the concern, for awareness. People cannot advocate for or against things they are literally not perceiving.

[sullen heath]

scroll up, i have a question about 1-100 in hours, wraiths

[frigid tapir]

how far up?

[sullen heath]

1 line

[solar leaf]

Because the features aren’t live yet. Until then, go to #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs maybe? I dunno what else to say

[boreal cape]

Listen, buddy, I love you. And that's that.

[hollow mantle]

how fast is power levelling from 1 to 100 ? Anyone tried before ?

[rose cloak]

99

[low dagger]

If you have to ask how fast, it probably won't be very fast.

[hollow mantle]

[naive pike]

Lots of people wanting to know how fast, but nobody bothers to ask who fast.

[frigid tapir]

seems accurate

[hidden mica]

I understand where your coming from, rocdog, but no one has been able to provide even a ballpark or a PB from a racer or something. They have zero context or frame of reference

Like, I'm pretty new myself. Does it take tens of hours? Hundreds? Thousands?

[low dagger]

Google last epoch speed running

[sullen heath]

70 if not plebinio. looks like not many here have 1x lvl 100 :kek:

[dusky kite]

no

[dusky kite]

once you hit monos you'll start seeing many "low level" mobs of the mono level. Which again won't be an issue once you hit empowered as everything will just be the same level from then on

[naive pike]

Yeah but that's not the point of my asking

[dusky kite]

20-40 hours of normal play, not speedrunning, not intentionally slowing

[deft sentinel]

Oh i see, i'll look into it then ty

[sullen heath]

oh even slower than i found. ty

[naive pike]

I doubt I'll reach 100 in 40 hours

[dusky kite]

it slows down significantly past 95, those last 5 levels take about as much as 1-90

[hidden mica]

Which combo of CoF passives are you specifically saying is going to cause an issue?

[candid elm]

There's also not much need to level to 100. Most builds are online once you've got level 20 skills, which you get mid 70s, and whatever gear you need. Going from say 95 to 100 is just 5 extra passive points and a minor stat increase.

[deft sentinel]

Sure, no harm, but that meant to me that the center had any use, for us to need to find it more easily, hence my question

[naive pike]

That's like reaching t16 maps in 2 days. Lots of people do it, I take over a week.

[sharp current]

Apparently there were people who did have trouble finding the center and had a reason to do so. Everyone plays the game differently. 🤷‍♂️

[deft sentinel]

I swear it was not a complaint. I'm learning the game and wanted to see why they need to find it more easily

[hollow mantle]

not as slow as D2 levelling ?

[sharp current]

You can always #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs maybe there was a specific reason they did it. Maybe they just wanted to make it more visible just because.

[dusky kite]

bro last time I played d2 was in 2001, do you think I still remember how fast or slow it was?

[hidden mica]

@sharp current you're wildly misunderstanding may, lol

[lyric beacon]

can we play offline or not during the shut down

[sharp current]

No I get where he's coming from, he wants to know if there was a reason for it but there is no reason in the patch notes so it would just be speculation as to why they changed it without asking the devs themselves.

[hidden mica]

@sharp current May's real question was, "Is it important to know where the middle of your echoes is?"

And there IS a reason. Echoes farther away from the center grant more stability, or some other benefit. I'm pretty sure it's stability.

So being able to judge distance from the center has a tangible benefit.

[sharp current]

To someone it was apparently

[lyric beacon]

can we play offline or not during the shut down

[low dagger]

No

[pearl grove]

If a skill deals multiple damage types and scales with fire and necrotic for example, does it make both dmg types increase both elements damage types or fire affects fire?

[loud sky]

Hi is there a countdown for the Launch?

hey there is any information when update will be available before ladder launch ?

[naive pike]

I would assume either some time before launch, or at launch. Probably not after launch.

[rapid basalt]

is it possible to play offline when servers are donw '?

[naive pike]

It is my understanding that if you wanted to play online you had to login before the servers went down. But when the game goes live there will be true offline.

[low dagger]

They've already said that pre-downloading would not be possible.

[hidden mica]

Smh, people wasting their 30s cd on a yes/no when ✅ and ❌ reactions exist

[misty laurel]

Are there different leaderboards between guilds. Ssf vs market

[hidden mica]

I believe there is no xp sharing distance limit, if that's what you mean. As long as you're in the same zone, you all get xp from kills. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. My poe, grim dawn, and LE knowledge is getting all conflated

[velvet ice]

Hey, does anyone know if each party member will have a torch when entering Lightless Arbor as a group?

[south ivy]

im pretty sure that in poe u have be near mobs to get xp right ?

if u can share exp across all map is it popular service like boosting or sht ?

[icy drift]

yes

[naive pike]

"It worked"?

[floral badger]

Yeah I was the higher lvl, it adds hp to monsters, when he died he didn’t get bonus loot but was gaining lvls

He was trying to stay close though so not sure if that played a factor

[peak orbit]

letools down?

[naive pike]

But "boosting" is a thing I guess.

[low dagger]

Patch notes say no more XP from monoliths below level 50

[pine tendon]

is druid spider transformation out yet?

[abstract prism]

no extra xp

[peak oracle]

@dense remnant hey mate im trying to understand something, whats so bad about build guides? I cant message on Ask-devs cuz well its not relevant there, its been annoying me for days now

[low dagger]

No XP You're corrct

[floral badger]

Seems like it!

[dense remnant]

For anyone wanting to be compoetitive, in the race being done by maxroll, that ehg are sponsoring, now just has to go look at the build guides and pickw hich they think is strongest for a class they'e comfortable on

If there was no race who cares, but there is, and both maxroll and ehg are involved in it. And ehg let maxroll, and maxroll decided, to post build guides, a whole bunch of them, for endgame, that are built and testedon 1.0

It sucks.

[floral badger]

That’s not bad 50 is pretty quick

[acoustic thicket]

If a player like me has enjoyed Lost Ark, BG3, Diablo etc Would it make sense that Id enjoy Last Epoch too?

[sharp current]

Look again, Disabled bonus xp from Monolith for characters below level 50

[peak oracle]

ok... but like thats how meta's work and have always worked. If Maxroll didnt do it, someone else would?

And what does the race have anything to do with it? Thats completely irrelevant

[dense remnant]

Metas generally dont devleop a day before the patch comes out, not sure what games you play

[low dagger]

Build guides won't teach you how best to play the game

[peak oracle]

like look at PoE league start or the Gauntlet. Theres build guides for it as well, much before the event

[dense remnant]

Guantlets arent patch release races

[pulsar dove]

Anyone know why when i click to play it keeps loading nothing happening

[peak orbit]

anybody able to open lastepochtools?

[peak oracle]

yes... yes they do... you adapt after (maybe but build guides / starters are always before

And also you decided to compeltely forego my comment about "beginning league races" in HCSSF they do.

[peak orbit]

will it be up at the same time as servers

[low dagger]

Who knows

[sharp current]

I believe it being down is unrelated to LE itself being down. I think they're just getting hammered.

[peak orbit]

Metas update regularly over time, for now these are theory crafted metas

[sharp current]

Or maybe it is related in the sense that people can't play so they're trying to get to LETools

[static coral]

Which builds are considered to be on the the low side for APM endgame ? I assume warpath builds for WK/Paladins and what else ? Warlock also seem to be less demanding with all the autocasts isn't it ?

[wary totem]

Is last epoch tool down because server down too?

[peak orbit]

damnit

[sharp current]

No, it was down before LE went down

[wary totem]

Thx

[thorny hedge]

Probably getting slammed with people theory crafting their starters TBH.

[peak oracle]

thats how pretty much all the game that i know / play that are online works

League, CS balance changes, PoE, and LE. Valorant is also like this. Thats how it works.

Now why would the devs actively hinder a tool MADE BY THE COMMUNITY, that is not harmful in the slightest. And in no way goes against what LE is (like you said)

[frank iris]

anyone here try LE on controller? i havent tried it but I have PS5 controller and actually prefer Diablo 4 on controller

[minor vigil]

Le tools is down due to traffic

[remote mirage]

only people who can relay you how 1.0 works are the people who had access to the 1.0 beta, it will be quite different

[frank iris]

oh i didnt realize it was changing with 1.0, i guess ill check it out tomorrow 👍

[thorny hedge]

Full Controller support. Hell the Deck may even work well, as LE is Linux Native.

[minor vigil]

It was ok before 1.0, just had issues with movement skill targeting and inventory management

[violet bolt]

Quick question, any word on if steamdeck support will be coming with the 1.0 release?

[frank iris]

on D4, i use M+K for all inventory but controller for gameplay, its a sweet spot that i find comfortable

[sharp current]

No official support for steam deck coming with 1.0.

[peak oracle]

Final sidenote, Maxroll specifically said those are THEORY CRAFTED builds, not actual indicative and will bump up-down based on how they work.

Most of those builds are 0.9 ones that have sliht buffs/nerfs and then somce builds for Warlock/Falconer theory crafted.

[thorny hedge]

I'm going to hedge a bet: Steam Deck should be fine. We are getting Full Controller support and LE is Linux Native. It won't have the Steam Deck verified check mark.

[minor vigil]

For that playstyle, the biggest issue is that movement skills would auto target which led to you running off in random directions, but they said they fixed that in the patch notes

[violet bolt]

That's good enough for me!

[frank iris]

awesome!

[hollow sierra]

honestly as funny as it is i do hope that there's a fix for some movement skills being used when your mouse is outside the game window
because leaping more when i go left because i have my mouse further off screen to the left is nice but silly

[thorny hedge]

And if the Linux Native client is still kinda rough, I can attest that 0.9.2 worked absolutely flawless with GE-Proton 8-3X. I doubt 1.0 will change that.

[violet bolt]

Awesome! Saving this info for tomorrow then in case!

[uncut gate]

hi everyone. Does anyone have some sources regarding like golden rules of crafting/itemization for last epoch? i understand all the runes and glyphs, but not sure what stats to go for for example and so on and so forth

[thorny hedge]

The Linux Native client had missing textures in Character Creation + it had missing textures for the Overlay Map and other Minor issues. Nowhere in the Patch Notes did it mention a fix for this, but I am anticipating a surprise. I also tested this on OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Nobara (Fedora basically), and Arch (same core distro the Deck uses) and all did well with GE-Proton.

[boreal cape]

Knowledge is a beautiful thing to share. Level playing fields optimize everyone's access to fair competition.

[signal bough]

anyone know, if the rune, that clones an item and removes forging potential, does it also remove LP?

[queen carbon]

Is it possible to drop the resonance with my friend's name without him being in PT at the time of the drop of the stone?

[boreal cape]

Sure, there's an element of pioneering the way you play, from build to gear to where you kill mobs etc - but the idea that competition is ruined rather than enhanced, by people leveling the playing field, still finds no footing here.

[thorny hedge]

To my understanding this is how it works. You play with someone "frequently" and it will show up randomly. I am liable to be wrong but this was my understanding.

[tulip quartz]

I've been watching some videos on builds. Am I correct for understanding, that there is meta builds for each class, but building skills around what u find "Most interresting" is also possiblity? - Unlike many other rpg

[pallid hawk]

Hi! I bought the game 4 hours ago. Played for 1 hour. But now, i cant log in. The servers are green and cant go offline. Is everyone like this?

[half fractal]

Does anyone have a good plasma orb leveling guide?

[thorny hedge]

There is a loose meta... However Plasma Orb for instance on RM was stronger than Hydra yet Hydra was Meta...

Off Meta builds (aka not on Maxroll) can and are often better IMHO and also TBH.

[tulip quartz]

So there are many additions for each meta build, making it possible to change ur playstyle for every build?

[honest anvil]

a build without guides on popular sites will always be underrated

[thorny hedge]

Disco Mage from Raid Boss Cannon is how I'd do it.

[visual sluice]

For a minion lover: beastmaster or necromancer?

[viscid sorrel]

there is matchmaking into the game?

[thorny hedge]

This game is about exploring and making your character powerful. The Meta is loose, it's whatever Maxroll says it is. But Maxroll cannot think of or try every build that is numerically possible. You stand a strong chance of trying something that absolutely beats what they have on their site. So yes in many ways, but it could involve new gear, new skills, new node selections, ect.

[flint abyss]

this is my first ARPG really, I understand that existing characters are transfered to legacy characters and that only cycle characters can be on ladder
does that mean I can use legacy characters + stash on new season releases in the future or do I have to restart from 0 everytime?

Got it 30min before shutdown, and for just 30min I really enjoyed all the different systems and play style

[thorny hedge]

I'm sure The Curse and Dr3adful will come up with off Meta builds that slap harder than Maxroll for instance.

[viscid sorrel]

Hope that matchmaking will come in a future update... it's very useful

[tulip quartz]

The reset skills option, where u need to farm xp for new builds makes the game so much more interresting. Means u actually have to play the game to adjust your character to the changes u make, instead of having "Save build" options, to change within seconds

i am offline rn feelsgood

[sharp current]

Both Game, and Authentication servers are offline for the 24 hours prior to Launch for preparations and will be available with the launch of Last Epoch <t:1708534800:f>.

Currently offline mode requires authentication, and as such is not accessible unless you were already playing offline before downtime started.

After 1.0 Launches tomorrow, the client will have a Fully Offline feature which does not require a connection at any point.

My dude, you've been trying to argue maxroll arent showing their builds in action in 1.0, they have, you have proof. Keep trying to shift stuff if you want

[wide sentinel]

not really, but people who played for years have an advantage for sure, game isnt a rocket science and 1.0 changes didnt change ANYTHING on a core level, so if u knew what u are doing in 0,9 u can also compete in 1.0 easily

Q: if you switch factions do you keep the items gathered in the previous one? I mean are they usable??

[peak oracle]

You answered 1 side note of what I said because you knew you had nothing for the rest.

I also wanted a build guide video, you had me a showcase. But eh wtv

[short dune]

thanks for amazing answer, have a nice evening=)

[sharp current]

No, you no longer meet the rank requirement to use items from a faction if you swap to the other one.

[dense remnant]

if it makes you feel better, you're right. 🙂

[peak oracle]

I was curious about Your reasoning at first, I truly don’t understand why it’s frustrating for them to make guides pre patch

[pulsar veldt]

Does the rgb feature work for you guys?

[cedar locust]

Calling it on the Maxroll/CT topic - As I have said in another thread - the team is aware of the community view on this and will be discussing it. First the team want to get 1.0 out smoothly as the discussion about this deserves their full attention. We have heard you.

[thorny hedge]

Sure but there are campaign changes. And CT folks literally played through it early so they'll hit CoF and understand the system perfectly, ect.

[faint jolt]

But if you keep the item and regain the rank later ? Is that gonna work?

[sharp current]

Yes, you'll be able to use it if you swap back.

[barren apex]

Does anyone know why the opacity of the map does not save? it constantly reverts back? is this something that is being fixed with 1.0?

[wide sentinel]

that will barely affect lvl 100 race, my argument was that CT players dont really have big advantage over just a veteran player, but they arent competing anyways, so was just throwing my 2 cents

[faint jolt]

Very bad .. that fact pretty much insists you to NOT switch factions at all..

[minor vigil]

People are frustrated because a small group of "special" people were allowed a significant amount of time to solve the meta before the community even knew what would exist. As content creators they have significant influence on how the meta develops and it takes away a significant amount of the community discovery. A testing program should be for testing, not content

[low dagger]

Yeah, switching is NOT recommended.

[zealous orchid]

" If your inventory is full, stick gear with high value affixes in your stash and sell the rest.
Don't sell gear that has high value affixes to a vendor. " HOW are we suspossed to know what is considered high value????

[sharp current]

Yes, the idea is to make choosing a faction a choice that has meaning and rewards you for sticking with one or the other.

[thorny hedge]

I've noticed this as well. I didn't read all of the bug fixes in the Patch Notes as well so maybe it's fixed? Would have to check.

[cedar locust]

@minor vigil #❔┃ask-the-community message

[faint jolt]

I was wondering if I can target gold farming for the core items of my build and when I just purchase them - switch and slow down playing chilly 😅

[pulsar veldt]

Did they fix the Minimap bug? That it moves out of screen and you have to relog to get it back? Or does just me have it 😂

[peak oracle]

But then you can just... not follow it..? Like thats what i dont get.

They are doing a service in a way. Many dont have time / want / cant theorycraft builds and just wanna blast.

And if youre not part of that group of people, just do wtv you want. Its the same logic for races

[gaunt vale]

High tier. (t5,6,7) Good affix types like hybrid health, +skill, etc
Very common affixes like x resist, +dmg, etc can be sold as you'll get a lot from just drops
once you start playin youll know

[wide sentinel]

that argument is stupid imo, planners were out the same day maxroll posted all their builds, and looking at those build there is nothing special about them, honestly new stuff is so stupidly broken that anyone experienced with LE can see a node that states 8% more dmg per dex and make a dex stacking build, i used ballista as an example

[zealous orchid]

ooo ok that makes a lot more sense now thx

[sharp current]

No, think of it in similar terms to PoE SSF/Trade. You can switch in PoE out of SSF but you can't switch back. The rank requirements serve a similar purpose but you at least have the option to switch back while keeping the spirit of the mode/faction intact.

[pliant marlin]

I personally don't care either way. But if I was a content creator myself especially professionally, I'd be pretty annoyed if other CCs got early access and I didn't.

[boreal cape]

some people want to derive a sense of self esteem out of being the best beta player and knower, feeling big because they kept their secrets, and deluding themselves in to thinking it's a feat of competition to be especially proud of, beating people who are on a fundamentally inequal playing field

the irony is that this person pretends to care about fairness

'wahahaha i spent hundreds of hours doing something i wouldnt share with others, i can feel my self worth sky rocketing'

[barren apex]

does the client still crash/not load for others launching from Steam?

[faint jolt]

Yea I got it .. gonna have to face RNG Gods once again 😂 on the other side what is arpg without rng factor 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣

[thorny hedge]

Servers are Down. Could be crashing from that, IDK.

[sharp current]

Both Game, and Authentication servers are offline for the 24 hours prior to Launch for preparations and will be available with the launch of Last Epoch <t:1708534800:f>.

Currently offline mode requires authentication, and as such is not accessible unless you were already playing offline before downtime started.

After 1.0 Launches tomorrow, the client will have a Fully Offline feature which does not require a connection at any point.

[barren apex]

Was happening to me last night... i just downloaded the game yesterday.. i was having to launch from the game files

[sharp current]

Best just to wait for 1.0 now and hopefully it resolves the crashing issues for you.

Considering you can't play anyway. Then if you're having issues take some troubleshooting steps.

[kindred wagon]

Am I right about dmg calculations:
Javelin's Fire Trail has 6,25 base fire dmg and 6,25 base lightning damage

1. If I have dot/eledot/spell/elemental damage affix, then it will calculate total dmg as (6,25 + 6,25) * %inc
2. If I have firedot/fire/lightning damage affix, then it will calculate total dmg as 6,25 + 6,25 * %inc

[barren apex]

👍

[sly lava]

Is Maxroll just not great for mobile? LETools down so trying Maxroll planner but can't apply passives

[faint cape]

Yeah, kinda. If you have a mix, just do all #2. Like:
total fire = 6.25 * total %inc fire
total lightning = 6.25 * total %inc lightning

[unkempt patrol]

do we have the specifics for the cold/phys/thunder tempests for tempest strike? Like base spell damage/damage effectiveness? Assuming crit chance and multiplier are the standard

[bitter wraith]

the game is down rn till tomorrow right?

ty

[sharp current]

LETools did when I was looking at it yesterday. I assume the Maxroll planner probably does too.

[faint cape]

Yes. Cold is 150%, phys is 150%/s, and lightning is 100%.

[unkempt patrol]

hows the base damage looking for them?

[faint cape]

default

that said, idk what the duration on the phys tempest is, and idk if the lightning one can multi-hit

[atomic zenith]

What’s the general differences between bleed warlock and torment warlock

[sly lava]

Was there any word from LETools on if it might be back up? It's still down I assume?

[shell flame]

Are the pathing issues preventing skills like flame dash for runemaster fixed in 1.0?

[stiff grove]

Does anyone know how big the download will be ?

[sharp current]

Nothing from Dammitt, its still down.

[blissful pelican]

Does anyone know what the new uniques are on 1.0?

[faint cape]

No, not even the devs know (at least, not the ones in the ask-the-devs channel)

[sharp current]

Yes, everyone who read the patch notes and looked up the items on LETools

[faint cape]

Yeah, I think they have all been revealed and now up on LE Tools, etc.

[blissful pelican]

I tried to read the patch notes, clicked on "new uniques" didn't pop anything to the page

[sly lava]

Thanks. Hopefully it can handle traffic increase. If they need help funding costs (if they're going up) I'm sure this discord would help.

[sharp current]

Patch notes just had the names, LETools had the tooltips for them

[blissful pelican]

Ahhh, thats why! thanks!

[acoustic thicket]

soooo we can't play offline?

[sharp current]

Both Game, and Authentication servers are offline for the 24 hours prior to Launch for preparations and will be available with the launch of Last Epoch <t:1708534800:f>.

Currently offline mode requires authentication, and as such is not accessible unless you were already playing offline before downtime started.

After 1.0 Launches tomorrow, the client will have a Fully Offline feature which does not require a connection at any point.

[acoustic thicket]

@sharp current you have been most helpfull

[unkempt patrol]

Ok i think I found the defaults for the tempests on LEtools. which just seems to be 2 base damage. And the storm bolt seems to have a base damage value of 23

[neat anvil]

Are Bees being buffed in 1.0? I thought I saw it in the notes yesterday... can't find it today.

[sharp current]

Only bee related thing I remember from the patch notes was a set of 3 cosmetics for friend referral. But it was a lot of notes.

[timid matrix]

if u die in Cycle HC, where the char is goin? legacy standard or cycle standard?

[worthy heart]

Can you use items FOUND in merchants guild in COF? Can someone confirm.

[sharp current]

If its tagged MG and has a MG rank requirement, no.

[faint cape]

Yeah, they got 71% more move speed

[sly lava]

I don't think anything found in MG aside from off the vendors maybe would be tagged?

[sharp current]

Correct, it doesn't get tagged until traded.

[faint cape]

Cycle SC

[timid matrix]

oh really? so we got 1 free HC shot? 😁

[faint cape]

Not really, SC doesn't share stash with HC, so you'll lose everything you had except exactly what you had on you at time of death. Your gold, crafting mats, and faction progress are "in" your stash, too, so all gone.

[next nest]

Eeh Hey, can i still play offline? dumb question maybe xd..

[sharp current]

Both Game, and Authentication servers are offline for the 24 hours prior to Launch for preparations and will be available with the launch of Last Epoch <t:1708534800:f>.

damn i bought the game and after 5 min it went offline, i was super sad

[flint forge]

Equation for damage calculation: (Base Damage + (Added Damage)*(Damage Effectiveness of the ability) * (All Increased Damage added together) * (All More damage multiplicatively)
Damage can crit at a rate of: (Base crit chance + "+" Critical Strike change) *

Equation for HP: (Base HP + Added HP) * (Increased HP)

Damage is applied directly to your HP, after being reduced by:
Resistance to the element of the attack. (capped at 75%). These affect DoT (Damage over time like ignite) and Hits. Going over 75% is not wasted because enemies have innate penetration, but should not be your focus. Reach the cap for your resistances at 75%
Armor reduces damage from all types of attacks. It is 70% as effective against non-physical damage. This has diminishing returns, so just get some armor, but don't target it aggressively.
Critical Strikes deal double damage, but this chance can be reduced with Critical Strike Avoidance. Get 100%
Endurance. Any damage done to you while your HP is below your endurance threshold is reduced by Endurance. This
Block, Dodge, Glancing blow, and others are build specific but shouldn't be a huge focus for you.

[ivory mauve]

Will LET be down until tomorrow as well?

[heavy egret]

Guessing we can't play offline characters either then. Is that right?

[sharp current]

LETools being down is unrelated to LE being down. They're just getting hammered with high amounts of traffic.

[ivory mauve]

Really? Damn. Wish them the best of luck 🙏

[heady depot]

Do we know when we will have 1.0 for download? Just trying to make sure I dont download it 5 minutes before the start xD

[solar rampart]

When does the Server come online? German Time?

[sharp current]

You wont get it 5 minutes before it starts. Because it wont be available UNTIL it starts at 11AM CST Feb 21st.

[loud creek]

What's a good cycle starter?

[next nest]

16.00 i belive

[solar rampart]

It comes back 11 am (UTC -6) or?

[pastel loom]

How long will monsters follow you for?

[heady depot]

11 AM CST, 6PM German Time

[solar rampart]

What do you mean with 18 PM. there is no 18 PM. You mean 6 PM?

[sharp current]

As long as they are contractually obligated to do so.

[heady depot]

Yeap, corrected it. Brain fart

[next nest]

ooh sorry its 06:00 PM (18:00) sweden time but german and sweden are in the same time zone

[faint cape]

It's not an exact science. It's pretty far, though, like a few screens.

[sharp current]

Its even worse in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs Just saw the same question posted 3 times within 10 messages of each other.

[icy drift]

lol you're telling me

[toxic echo]

its just the entire server. XD

[sharp current]

I'm just trying to stay in this little corner here but I get curious and then I regret it. XD

[heady depot]

Maybe next time they will remember to put that info somewhere really clear (if they didnt already) 😁

[sharp current]

It was really clear in many places

[primal plover]

What are you playing for release?
And how much playtime do you guys have ingame?

[cosmic verge]

cam you guys log in the game

[heady depot]

Game is down for launch

[sharp current]

Both Game, and Authentication servers are offline for the 24 hours prior to Launch for preparations and will be available with the launch of Last Epoch <t:1708534800:f>.

Currently offline mode requires authentication, and as such is not accessible unless you were already playing offline before downtime started.

After 1.0 Launches tomorrow, the client will have a Fully Offline feature which does not require a connection at any point.

[primal plover]

Please read the #news

[earnest arch]

whats better %increased health or added health?

[icy drift]

the game is down until 6pm CET tommorow

[cosmic verge]

oohh okay i just bought it and wanted to try it so i was thinking why i cant get in xd

[sharp current]

Both

[earnest arch]

yes but if you have to choose one

[heady depot]

Math it and check if you need more base or more percent

[earnest arch]

whats the math?

i would have to know my total %increased health right?

[stray vault]

Whats your total life? How much life do you get from % life vs flat
Which one is greater?

Thats the very simple straight forward math

[dim dove]

why does everyone on reddit/online recommend making your own builds as a new player to the genre? i have dabbled in a build planner for the last couple hours and it's all extremely overwhelming and hard to understand what most of the skills/passives do

[sly lava]

Everyone?

[faint cape]

If you don't want to do the math, it's probably the %inc

[heady depot]

MaxHealth = (92 + 8 * CharacterLevel + AddedHealth) * (1 + IncreasedHealth)

[stray vault]

If you dont enjoy theory crafting etc, dont feel you have too. Its just LE is very friendly when it comes to experimenting. if thats not something you like, feel free to pick a guide

[earnest arch]

that doesnt make any sense

[faint cape]

Because it's fun and totally doable without prior knowledge. I don't recommend your first build to be made in the planner, just by playing the game.

[sharp current]

^ Definitely this.

[earnest arch]

now this makes sense

[heady depot]

You own me one to make me type that

[stray vault]

You have 1000 Life.

You have a afix that gives you 10% health 1000*.1 = 100 health
You have affix that gives you 50 flat health.

which one do you take

[rich sierra]

Hey guys I bought the game way back.. maybe patch 0.4 and haven't really played since. Kinda forgot about it and realised 1.0 is coming tomorrow.

I don't have much time to explore all the classes so I'm wondering what's the class based around procs and gimmicks.

[dim dove]

@faint cape makes sense. i guess im just feeling overwhelmed but i do really want to try making my own

[faint cape]

A lot of them do that! What kind of procs/gimmicks are you looking for?

[sharp current]

I would say just jump into the game tomorrow then and pick a class and go wild. Save the build planning for when you get a feel for the game.

[heady depot]

It is not really a problem if you follow a build guide man. Have fun, learn a bit about the game, try to make your own later

[rich sierra]

Windfury from wow was always my favourite

[heady depot]

While it is doable to make your own build, there are a shiton of people saying that the build they made is awesome and works fine when they didnt even reach Empowered Monos. Play the game in the way you have fun and go for it

[faint cape]

Yeah, like the others said - pick something you think looks fun. All masteries have viable builds, and the class/mastery you pick is the only thing you can't respec out of. You can't brick your character at all

[brisk wedge]

Has anyone tried Last Epoch with Crossover/Wine or GPTK on macOS?
I know Last Epoch had a mac client they abandoned, but I am asking to run the Windows version under Crossover.

[faint cape]

There's a druid swarmblade build that procs tornadoes that then cast lightnings, I think that might be something up your alley (sometimes people call it lightning bug, I think you can make it into a frostbite DOT build, too)

[dim dove]

is each skill viable if you spec into it? i guess that's my biggest issue right now is picking what skills to actually use. i understand how to search for different things in the search bar and tailor the build that way but i have no idea which skills are good or the utility of them. and how much defense to go for vs damage

[heady depot]

One can pick Acid Flask for example because they found it interested and get f"§$%" for not being able to play end game because the skill sucks. If this is your first aRPG at all, find something you find fun, get a guide and go for it. aRPG players like to sound smart sometimes

[rich sierra]

Allright thank you!

[fossil grove]

i want to play a class that moves and clears a map real fast, what would you advice?

[heady depot]

Shadow Dagger Rogue

[fossil grove]

oki, thank you

[split rune]

Which specialization of loot have you guys sound success with? Merchant guild or SSF

[heady depot]

None yet, they will be released tomorrow.

[fossil shell]

11?

[split rune]

Oh they weren’t in the beta. Which one are u thinking of pursuing?

[fossil shell]

Is it open at 11?
