[grizzled mauve]

anything about last epoch that makes it stand out vs poe? I know people don't like d4

[solar leaf]

Generally speaking, It's much more accessible to get into. Game allows tons of respeccing so players are encouraged to experiment with lots of skills/abilities and gear. The crafting system is simple to learn, while being fun and rewarding to master.

[wicked plover]

correct

[hollow mango]

If you have a skill, such as storm crow, with the power claw node, it says "4 mana consumed"
If you are transformed, does that mana consumed apply to rage?

[alpine stratus]

Hello folks, im wondering there should be quite a few, but any falconeer builds that stand out as we speak? I've seen like only 3 or 4 on LEtools; and im a bit of a LE noob,

[trim zenith]

what is the max co-op player limit ?

[hollow mango]

4

[trim zenith]

thnx

[grizzled mauve]

hmm one more question - how long has it been since the game got a huge update since 1.0 seems to be hyped up?

[robust bobcat]

Can I play 2 factions with 2 characters? A for MG, B for CoF

[wicked plover]

yes

[alpine stratus]

Great!

[ornate lily]

hey i want to start a duo with my wife today. are we supposed to complete campaign together? like.. comfortably?

[solar leaf]

It should consume rage instead.

[wicked plover]

nothing is stopping you from doing so

[vapid dome]

Around what level can we unlock our subclass?

[solar leaf]

~15-20

[faint cape]

Yeah, rage is mana

[wicked plover]

nearly a year

[naive sphinx]

do we know the time when 1.0 will release exactly ?

[solar leaf]

11AM Central/12PM Eastern, 5PM GMT

[cursive spindle]

Anyone know if Explosive Trap's Detonate Arrow proc works if traps explode instantly? Or do they have to already exist on the map to count as "Other Explosive Traps"

[wicked plover]

10,5 h from now

[rough shuttle]

Beep boop!

[naive sphinx]

oouuhh thats exactly after work for me, perfect :D

[tame condor]

hi!
im new this game and my friend told me i have a "Invited Code" so both of us can get the golden puppy pet?
Where is it?

[amber pier]

Can we preload the update / can we play with the beta client or need a new one?

[hollow mango]

No idea if good

But I had a crazy build idea which uses ballista, acid flask, falconry, aerial assault, and explosive trap
Convert acid flask to fire, and boost the heck out of its hit damage

Explosive trap can use acid flasks, ballista, and even more explosive traps
Falconry can be used for acid flasks automatically
Ballista can use your stats, and get boosts from aerial assault

[split monolith]

Hey I was thinking about picking this game up with a friend for launch but looking up the multiplayer/coop for the game all that comes up are posts that are a couple of months old stating that it is generally buggy and slow to load. Is this still the case or have multiplayer bugs been ironed out?

[wicked plover]

there will be several performance and stability fixes with 1.0 for multiplayer
should feel alot better

[split monolith]

Okay 🙂

[hollow mango]

Does mana regain on hit work to get rage back while shape shifted?

[lethal mural]

we can use the cycle of fortune in saf and scf ?

[rough shuttle]

yes

[lethal mural]

nice

[magic shadow]

Hi everyone! I have a newcomer question: Is there a particular reason why Forge is in a city or The End of Time hubs? Does it give any advantage to forge there instead of F menu?

[outer mango]

no advantages

its just cool to have forge there if you want to use it 🙂

[frosty mango]

is LE website down right now cause of the Maintenance? can't check the Patch notes

[spice dome]

Hello

[magic shadow]

Thank you! 🙇 I was just wondering if there's any difference like increased chances if you forged outside of an echo or something.

[outer mango]

nope 🙂

[spice dome]

Is the game down rn? I'm playing from Australia

So I’m not planning on using a build guide and jumping in with a Shaman with gathering storm and melee with wind fury attacks. But just for grins I wanted to see if any guides exist and I don’t see any gathering storm/maelstrom builds. Do these skills suck and I’m setting myself up to fail?

[frosty mango]

can't check the 1.0 Patch notes though

[weary tulip]

Hey i hope the servers are ddos protected, i know these security things might be the least of concerns especially during launch since it is least obvious, but still i hope for a great launch and not have it ruined by some ah

[outer mango]

why not

[mossy venture]

Guys, I've been logged in online for 24 minutes, do you know what the problem is?

[magic shadow]

@outer mango Forum page throws 500s. I wanted to check the notes as well, but can't access the page.

[tight girder]

I believe the forums are down currently

[outer mango]

its down preparing for start

[frosty mango]

yea can't see the forums either

[rough shuttle]

Thank the lords i went ahead and downloaded all the forum data.. for 1.0 patch

[mossy venture]

ty!!

[magic shadow]

Do you have a copy of the notes in pastebin? ^^

[rough shuttle]

Nope HTML. downloaded the page itself

[mental prism]

I'm passing the time staring at build planner.... debating if it makes sense to specialize dark quiver for ballista falconer build

[lucid creek]

Is the steam page system requirement up to date for version 1.0?

[mossy venture]

if I start an offline game, will the character data stay there?

[lethal mural]

in the time i was playing i didint see it , but is it possible to have 2 or more exalted affixes on an item ? if so the circle of fortune 50% boost would be useful

[solar leaf]

Yes

[spice dome]

Hang on, offline mode isn't working either.

[rough shuttle]

I previously had it on a public domain.. but then google started redirecting people to it upon the freezing of the actual site.. which in turn killed my lil server

[lethal mural]

oh nice

[tight girder]

based

[mental prism]

offline only works if you logged in before servers shut down

[weary tulip]

Affixes absorbed through LP have no added level requirements?

[vernal juniper]

Damn so no game for us if we have no account before shutdown

[spice dome]

So I have to wait till 1 am? I live in Western Australia

[solar leaf]

In fact you can have more than 2 T6+ affixes on an item.

[lethal mural]

@solar leaf the 50% boost is gonna be so nice , i wanna make a scf, was playing legacy for like 2 weeks and got 96 saf

[rough shuttle]

Note: Do NOT host it on a public domain.. google will redirect.. My poor poor lil server had a few too many visitors to handle

[mental prism]

let's be honest, theres probably going to be a queue for launch right, let's pray for the servers

[marble oriole]

What Primalist Mastery do you guys recommend for leaping around, Tempest Strike, Earthquake, etc. (NO transformations/minions)

[tight girder]

The time in #❔┃ask-the-community message is in your local timezone

[lethal mural]

@solar leaf it will be nice cuz having lets say 2 or 3 exalted affix on an item can make it up for a good 1 exalted affix and some other ok mods

[eternal mesa]

Any summoner/minion fans? I'm trying to decide on a build to check out, saw squirrels and then some acolyte ones.

[vernal juniper]

So basicly for people that dont ahfev created account The game will be down for another 11 hours and cant play even offline

[spice dome]

255 pm Wednesday 21st

[weary tulip]

For Squirrel build you need specific items so its probably not great as first char

[rough shuttle]

I made such a fancy lil thing to display the info.. its in YOUR Local time..

[solar leaf]

Correct.

[vernal juniper]

Why is the account creation tied to the game server iso creating the account on web

[eternal mesa]

What's the laziest acolyte minion build? I'm old, don't want to spam buttons too crazy.

[dense shard]

I had fun with a necromancer arch mage build in early access. Just buff the hell put of one, big skeletal mage as it rains down death.

[eternal mesa]

What's the name of the build so I can get an idea, cheers.

[floral notch]

hi im new is the deluxe/ultimate edition worth it?

[gusty epoch]

Are character names unique in the game? as in you can't use the same username as someone that already has it.

[merry otter]

isnt that only in MMOs ?

[dense shard]

Oh it's just one I threw together myself lol. I never refined it but it easily got to empowered monos.

I'll see if I can throw together a basic plan skill plan on last epoch tools for you when I get out of bed xD

[lethal mural]

wow im looking at circle of fortunes buffs, most tiers are crazy, especially the last ones

[lethal canyon]

Only one umbral blades cna hit a target at once right

[eternal mesa]

I've only played about a year ago I think upto level 70 character one guy. So I don't know much, which is fine. Just trying to get a basic idea 🙂

[gusty epoch]

Mostly yes, but for example in PoE you can't use a name that's already taken.

[lethal mural]

im not understanding prophecies, are they 1 time rewards or something ?

[left mortar]

I have played the game very little till now (8-9 hours), and I'm planning to start the game properly once 1.0 hits. I was trying to figure out which class and Mastery I would pick. I wanted something that looks very cool (I should feel like a badass lol)

[mental prism]

that depends on your definition of what's badass

[left mortar]

From the launch trailer, SpellBlade, Runemaster, Blade Dancer and Marksman looked cool

Which of these has a good combination of single target damage as well as good clearing speed/good AOE?

[mental prism]

blade dancer is the fastest, marksman has that new explosive trap+detonating arrow build they showed off in falconer preview which looks very fast and strong

[slow temple]

runemaster and blade dancer

[left mortar]

Gotcha...I will check out more material featuring these 2 then

[slow temple]

shadow daggers are OP but so is runemasters whole kit so

[mental prism]

depending on how much research you want to do, I feel like runemaster is just generally strong while blade dancer has some poor builds if you dont go shadow daggers

[gusty epoch]

I'd consider going marksman, but it's up to you.

[left mortar]

Yeah Marksman looked very cool as well....
Whats the red "energy bolt" thing around the 20 second mark? https://youtu.be/ddvY964TCoQ?si=eh_QZUAMUkdfBq38&t=19

[mossy venture]

offline mode down aswell?

[mental prism]

honestly, I wish dancing strikes was a better skill, feel's lackluster for a mastery skill

[edgy sphinx]

Pretty sure that's chaos bolts.

[mental prism]

I think that's chaose bolts with a bleed spec

[left mortar]

And that's available for which mastery?

[edgy sphinx]

They removed the necrotic bolts I think. It's Warlock

[slow temple]

any necro can get chaos bolts but it's from the warlock tree

[left mortar]

so we can get skills from other mastery trees?

[naive sphinx]

Im guessing ill have to start a new character once 1.0 starts ?

[slow temple]

the lower tier skills yea, you can only get the higher tier nodes in the class you specialize in

[left mortar]

but we can only get those from other masteries within our class right?

[mental prism]

right

[slow temple]

right so necro has 4 trees. base tree + 3 classes

[mental prism]

for warlock, you start off as an acolyte, then when you pick your masteries you can pick warlock. The mastery choice is one of the few things you cant change with respecs

[naive sphinx]

availability of respecs is such a huge part of why I love this game already

[left mortar]

Melee builds are viable in this game right?

[slow temple]

it feels a lot more punishing to play melee imo

[edgy sphinx]

Some of the most popular builds are melee iirc.

[patent widget]

Does the game have regional pricing?

[naive sphinx]

from what Ive heard almost everything is "viable" in this game compared to say poe, but of course only some things are top tier (Ive not reached engame so dont actually listen to me though)

[slow temple]

shadow daggers and runemaster are probably top 2 builds right now

[left mortar]

Is there any good video which is like a good visual representation of the different masteries? Like I just wanna see how the different skills in different masteries look....like a compilation video

[edgy sphinx]

Maybe the new technical 1.0 trailer?

[left mortar]

yeah that's the only one i found that fits the bill....a more in depth one would have been nice though

[wary totem]

so about legendary crafting. Does it pick random affixes from exalted item?

[slow temple]

yep it's a gamble each time

[wary totem]

It has to be the same item type im assuming right? Unique glove + Exalted glove

[solar rampart]

Server will come in 10 hours?

[outer mango]

yes

[deep charm]

so any idea when the actual 1.0 update will be sent out to download?

[outer mango]

when launch happens

Servers are now offline in preparation for 1.0's launch. They will re-open <t:1708534800:f>

[pulsar crane]

I'm in Perth and forgot the servers were going down today, just got home from work to find out i cant play until i get home from work tomorrow 😦

[rotund harness]

lol... I just bought it and installed it. I expected to play, not knowing there was an upcoming update. Im in Tasmania

[coarse finch]

Going in completely blind: Are the any classes that are in a bad position compared to other classes?

[rustic ember]

why can't i play offline ?

[storm blaze]

Because authentication servers are down
And currently offline play still needs to connect to auth server

[rotund harness]

There is an update and wont launch for around 9 hours... read above.

[rustic ember]

I know that threre is an update, but i thought i could play offline !

[naive sphinx]

that is unfortunate lol, but better than if you started playing a day ago, and would have to make a new character after update to get the new stuff

[rustic ember]

what's the point to have offline mode if you can't play when online servers are down ?

[naive sphinx]

well the offline game is also getting the 1.0 update

[storm blaze]

True offline is coming with the 1.0 patch.

[acoustic thicket]

sentinel or acolyte y'all??

[low dagger]

yes

[calm blaze]

rogue

[storm blaze]

I'm leaning towards primalist currently

[rustic ember]

Ok thanks all for your replies; see you tomorrow online 🙂

[naive sphinx]

Ill definitely go for an AFK drone carrier sentinel

[tight girder]

This game is great for going in blind. Any class can get strong enough to do all content, you really don't have to worry about that

[naive sphinx]

I wanna hold one button and watch critical role

[jade perch]

If I change the facilities, is it impossible to wear the items I learned from the facilities?

[storm blaze]

yes. if item has CoF tag you can't wear it while in the other faction

[low dagger]

Switching factions is a bad idea

[wary totem]

why is it bad?

[low dagger]

You can't wear gear from your old faction

[wary totem]

ohh i see so just stick to one and level those up?

[low dagger]

Yeah.

[naive sphinx]

can items get multiple T7 stats ?

[jade perch]

Is the faction selection per character or account?

[outer mango]

4 max

[low dagger]

Character

[winged cove]

anyone playing in linux? performance better than windows?

[tight girder]

Yes, items can roll with more than one exalted (t6-t7) modifier, although it is significantly more rare

[shadow locust]

does the region lock when choosing

[low dagger]

no, you can play your character on other regions

[naive sphinx]

alright thanks ^^ I was wondering because every item ive ever seen was only 1 exalted xD

[storm blaze]

incorrect

[low dagger]

Faction rep is account wide for all characters belonging to that faction. You can have characters in different factions.

I have bought the game in early access but golden guppy is not in my libraby. Will I still get them after launch?

[low dagger]

I got my guppy fine. It's a pet option in the apperance tab.

[storm blaze]

The guppy should be available when you log in

[granite cosmos]

It says on the store page "items equipable at 1.0 * delivered following the release of patch 1.0"

[timid pine]

Ok. People who bought it recently have it added to their steam libraby but mine didnt so got worried.

[low tiger]

Is there HDR support with LE?

[heady fjord]

falc balista or rain marks?

While not being super sad, that is not a valid excuse. You let 99.9% preload and right on time you release the last little bit.

have no idea, but from what i read online every build is viable if you put some thought into it

[low dagger]

Well, paladin has a few options. Can't go wrong with paladins.

[red maple]

would hate to see meta chasing for a game that prides itself on variability

Could you make a Fractured Crown with 4 T5 and an sealed affix?

you can trade non-tagged items with each other

[red maple]

I read in this discord it would not be possible, try to look around there's some info on it. forgot where i saw it.

no predownload at all, that is the downside of the true offline mode being a part of the game.

It's not a bug
But the current offline only checks on auth servers when you get to character selection. so if you logged in before servers went down and didn't crash or try changing characters you could keep playing offline

[vocal plank]

Does Debilitation on the puncture skill tree get buffed from fear?
Or is fear not considered an ailment? I would think it would be.

[weary crane]

wish we could play offline at least T-T

[red maple]

I wish i could too.. i hit like 3.3 billion damage in PoE recently and i'm hype to craft up some crazy builds in this one

[tight girder]

I'm pretty sure Fear is an ailment

[sterile dagger]

so everybody can play it at 6PM ? because now i cant play it 😄 im confused D:

[vocal plank]

That's my thoughts too. Because I do 7% increased damage per unique ailment so I'm thinking about getting it on Decoy

[hexed vine]

I have a question does anyone else have the problem where they can't switch right mouse button in their settings cause i would love to move/interact with rmb. thanks in advance

[hardy jacinth]

Decide my future. Necropoopoo or explosive traps marksman?

[red maple]

Ailments are broken down to Damaging/Non-damaging ailments, but all are generally considered ailments, so yes fear is.

Hey everyone! Our already made filters will be working on 1.0 or we will need to make it again? thx!!

[toxic echo]

they will need a small update for new items, but should work fine

[edgy sphinx]

I wonder if they ever did anything with that masochist mode or whatever it was.

[steel merlin]

It is a boot

[desert tree]

Yes there is a pair of boots you can find in the 1st zone

[steel merlin]

I disagree with it being boots but at the same time it's so funny

[dapper swift]

I think they should just temp remove it then doing this...

[edgy sphinx]

What do the boots do exactly? I never got to see what masochist mode actually was.

[steel merlin]

More damage taken and less damage done

[dapper swift]

Check LETools on personal items

[desert tree]

It would have been cool to be a "special" idol you can only socket in the middle of your idols slots

[dusky kite]

true masochist mode boots should have a movement speed penalty

[edgy sphinx]

I see. I'm on mobile rn and idk how to navigate the letools site anyway.

[desert tree]

They come with no ms

[steel merlin]

The Ms scales with level

[thick shuttle]

Forums are down?

[dapper swift]

Not as affix, but you have 28% at 100, higher base than anything actually

[desert tree]

3% increased Movement Speed
1% increased Movement Speed per 4 Character Levels

[steel merlin]

Eight more hours, and ten minutes

Didn't really register the up to 200% damage taken line

Is the 25 character limit slot per mode or total 🤔

[desert tree]

99% sure it's total

[steel merlin]

Would be nice if it was 30, one per class in legacy+cycle, not that it isn't enough as it is

[solar rampart]

I want to Play falconer. I dont know what to Play in Lategame. But is it fine if i Level 1-70 with the leveling falconer and then Pick a Lategame build or whats the target of a leveling build (maxroll)?

[thick shuttle]

You can play Falconer even to lategame.

Also respeccing is extremely easy.

[solar rampart]

Okke. So the maxroll leveling Guide is fine to 70?

[desert tree]

You mean sidequests during the campaign?

[lethal mural]

@desert tree no the prophecies quests, after you unlock circle of fortune, pretty sure you can do it over and over but once you do 1 does it changes and you can farm that quest, onceyou reroll to something you relly like

[thick shuttle]

The game is casual enough that you can quite literally play with random bullshit and still reach 70.

[pallid thistle]

hey, wanting to play a bleed warlock with controller, is there some skills or items or ways to makes chaos bolts auto-target enemies instead of clicking around?

[sharp bison]

Can I play this game with my steering wheel?

[serene cave]

Can you switch between mercant guild and CoF or are you locked after choosing?

[acoustic finch]

Can switch whenever you want @serene cave

[potent epoch]

maxroll guides are utterly unnecessary. I recommend you experiment and have fun.
respecing your skills is very painless, costs only a bit of time to re-level things.

[serene cave]

sweet thanks @acoustic finch

[red maple]

i'd agree with you if they didn't also have general information on the game. use them as a referance if neccecary

[sharp bison]

I respec'd everything recently and it only took 2 echos to maximize my skills again, so i definitely agree

[potent epoch]

last epoch was designed for maximum flexibility: you will not be punished for playing blindly! figuring out the game is half the fun.
seriously, try every skill, figure out what you think is the most fun. you can look at a build guide once you arrive at endgame.

[frigid tapir]

Can I play tornado lightning swarmblade druid as a starter? Including leveling (without major respeccing)?

[viral nymph]

Will legacy character be able to play with new non legacy

[storm blaze]

no

[red maple]

i only say that because i saw a guy in here ask about ailments, and they literally list them out and break them down as far as effects go. It's a useful referance and won't knock it for that. build-wise i hate to see people meta-chase in a game not designed for it already, so i agree there

[finite peak]

I would start with the cold one, since it got a bug that will limit your power ( it will get fixed in week 1 or 2 )

[acoustic finch]

@potent epoch some people like optimization tho and seeing as ter3k wrote all the leveling guides, and he's the fastest known leveler in the world, their nothing wrong with using his guide as a new player if they really want to.

[halcyon mantle]

is there a dutch community for this game?

[frigid tapir]

limited how much? Because Im relativly new to the game and probably wont reach endgame day 1 anyways?

[sharp bison]

I think you can. Just not with characters on the new cycle. (the one with leaderboards)

[finite peak]

The Rending Vortex Node in Gathering Storm is currently bugged and not giving the Base Critical Strike Chance to your Storm Bolts. We are expecting a fix shortly after 1.0 launch.

[acoustic finch]

@sharp bison no, legacy and non legacy are separate and can't play between each other. Need to be cycle to play with cycle or legacy to play with legacy. Both modes have leaderboards, however cycle will be fresh, legacy is not

[potent epoch]

I agree, there is nothing wrong with using a leveling guide. it's much like reading a strategy guide for a new game, some people really enjoy doing that.
I merely said that guides are "unnecessary" in last epoch; a lot of new players may assume they will be punished for experimenting, requiring a big time or currency investment to respec skills, and may feel that using a leveling guide is necessary to avoid a painful start.

[red maple]

this game is not PoE, do not play it like you need a PHD 😄

[frigid tapir]

Can I safely respecc after they fixed it if I start with cold? Or do I need to change too much?

[low dagger]

They were still patching stuff as late as tonight. One of the devs said the patch notes were not exhaustive. There might be some update to the patch notes tomorrow 🤞

[outer mango]

1.1 should hit soon after 1.0 with new pinnacle boss

[low dagger]

More like 1.0.1. 1.1 will be a few months

[acoustic finch]

Pinnacle bosses that isn't t4 julra or 500 corruption monos will be pog

[frigid tapir]

So its most likely fine to start as lightning swarmblade? They will fix it before I reach endgame anyways probably

[patent pagoda]

When android release?

[outer mango]

did you know companies can do patch numbers differently

[red maple]

it's getting released on android ? HUH? LMAOOO

[storm blaze]

it's not

[low dagger]

Numbering has already been mentioned

[potent epoch]

do you guys not have phones?!

[outer mango]

alright my bad then, 1.0.1 it is

[upbeat wraith]

Does rogue have no chaining ability or am I just blind?

[frigid tapir]

Do we know yet when the new patch will be available for download?

[red maple]

11am no?

[low dagger]

#1209608600612376587 message

[acoustic finch]

11am est is launch so around then

[red maple]

i believe it said " as long as everything goes as expected" xd as it always goes with launch

[acoustic finch]

No pre-load because true offline comes with it and they don't want them going early

[frigid tapir]

Ohhh I see... do we know what size it will be?

[red maple]

Not from what I saw

[desert tree]

Quite big (no real number )

[acoustic finch]

With all the graphical updates it's prolly massive. It's their biggest patch to date

[red maple]

i'd expect at least 15gigs

[frigid tapir]

Ok... so will there be a queue of sorts?

[outer mango]

if needed

[acoustic finch]

Who knows. I don't think they mentioned it?

[low dagger]

Graphical updates are mostly lighting. They don't need to replace geometry and textures for that

[red maple]

i doubt there's a que to actually get into the game, but to play multiplayer there will more than likely be a large que time (especially given the hype behind the game so far)

[frigid tapir]

oh boy... well hopefully it isnt too bad and the devs planned ressources accordingly to the hype of the launch

[red maple]

every developer prepares as best they can, but it never turns out how they'd expect lolol

[frigid tapir]

Im having PoE league launch PTSD right now.... some launches where so bad with server stability

[acoustic finch]

@frigid tapir when someone asked them if they were worried when asmongold said he was guaranteeing to play and him and his followers are known for crashing wow servers, their response was "we aren't worried, servers will be fine" so hopefully that holds up

[fervent needle]

Will lootfilters still be usable or do they need to get updated for 1.0

[desert tree]

They re activated the queue , it was written in the patch note

[frigid tapir]

that sounds reassuring at least...

[low dagger]

A few thousand asmongoldies more or less won't make a diff

[desert tree]

Probably a small update will be necessary

[red maple]

given the latest games to release for us, and how every launch has gone for them, it's always a disaster right off the bat lmfao

atleast it always buffs out around a week

[low dagger]

I'm mentally prepared to play offline anyway

[acoustic finch]

@fervent needle loot filters will work as is, however you'll prolly need to stricten them for w.e faction you choose. Lizard has a video of an idol prophesie reward and the loot amount is ridiculous

[frigid tapir]

to be fair, usually they fix most issues a week in or two. But I find it highly annoying. I see a lot of potential for LE to be my next goto when it comes to arpgs. POE Trade is just so outdated and annoying. If the merchant guild is gonna be as fun as it seems I might switch to LE for my main game

[prisma geode]

hey, when the download is gonna be live ? is it possible to pre-download 1.0 patch ?

[low dagger]

#1209608600612376587 message

[torpid sluice]

IF Pogmongolds endeavors crashes the server EU wont be affected right? i dont want to start a offline adventure just to restart online afterwards

[prisma geode]

oh, ty @low dagger gotta read

[low dagger]

They sold over a million copies of the game. Asmongold won't have any effect.

[finite peak]

respeccing is not an issue, its cheap
you might have to change up some gear

[trail basalt]

you cant respec masteries though sadge.

[finite peak]

they use the same mastery

[low dagger]

You can't switch masteries. You can respec your mastery, though.

[finite peak]

He was asking between cold and lightning bug, they have the same mastery

[low dagger]

The game has lightning bugs? What about fireflies?

[mellow surge]

Spin to win a good build to start 1.0? Currently Dancing Strike lvl 83

[fluid storm]

Once you get to monoliths, do certain timelines have higher drop rates of certain exalteds? Or only uniques?

[finite peak]

Swarmblade is technically a bug

[quaint kettle]

anyone got the idea how good is the full controller support they implementing at v1.0?

[finite peak]

Balormage was alrdy playing with it befor the fixes, so I think its pretty good
you can still ur mouse/keyboard when you need

[dusky kite]

convert your tornado to fire and you got yourself a firefly

[quaint kettle]

oh he using controller all the way ah. thats nice

[finite peak]

think he did some inventory management with mouse but the actual playing in the mono's was full controller

[stoic fog]

what time is servers back up in the uk?

[desert tree]

#news message

[frigid tapir]

the item faction is per character right? So I can make a character who is in the merchant guild and after that make a character with CoF right? And I could also switch between the two faction, but would need to change any tagged gear

[low dagger]

Switching will suck

[stoic fog]

so 11am? in 1 hour and 30min?

[finite peak]

don't understand why ppl don't read news befor asking such a question, it literly takes less time

[low dagger]

Are you on Central Standard TIme?

[finite peak]

its in ur own timezone

[stoic fog]

BECAUSE there is different time zones that i never understand

[frigid tapir]

yes but if it is bugged on launch or something I could switch if I really wanted to

[finite peak]

thats my point you don't need to understand them, they exactly state what time in your own time zone

[acoustic finch]

Server launches at 12pm est. Just do a time zone conversion to w.e time zone your in

[desert tree]

The post should show your localised time

[stoic fog]

gmt

[finite peak]

just look at news, it tells you what time in ur own time, no converting needed

[stoic fog]

says 11am cst

[pliant wolf]

Any opinions on how much more OP merchant's guild will be than circle of fortune? I really like the idea of CoF but surely it will be easier to just buy giga pieces when you have extra gold

[desert tree]

Not on the picture, the small written text above

[stoic fog]

ah okay i see it ty

[dense shard]

I've been playing controller the last 6-9 months or so and it's been great so far. If they've revamped and improved it I can only assume it's even better and I'm super excited to try.

Based on how good it already was, I say you'll be fine.

[stoic fog]

5pm in england

[zealous sand]

Hey guys, i have a question. when im crafting in the forge, every affix has a number right next to it (not the forging potential). what does the number mean

[violet lily]

do anyone know what will happen to the early access characters ?
like will be able to use their weapons , armours in new character in 1.0 or everybody will start afresh ?

[stoic fog]

i use controller but i use mouse when i need to deal with inventory etc

[desert tree]

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

[low dagger]

The number of shards you have

[acoustic finch]

@zealous sand tier of affix. Craftable up to t5, drop up to t7

[severe geyser]

Bought the pack with fallen ronin mtx. Is it true that you can't use skins in offline mode?

[zealous sand]

oooh that must be it, thanks 😄

[desert tree]

Yes

[zealous sand]

early access chars will stay in eternal realm and will not be deleted

[tacit sparrow]

Once the economy settles, with the amount of people there'll be playing the game and possibly being in the merchant's guild, you have to take into account the market will be saturated with items so buying the ones you want will be easy, selling the ones you don't want won't be as much. The advantage of CoF is that you have to rely on no one.

The devs also said they'll do their best at monitoring both factions to make sure none is better than the other so even if one is better than the others, actions will be taken.

All we have to do is pick the one who sounds the best to us and wait

[desert tree]

I am aware thanks ^^

[rancid vigil]

For the launch, i assume the season also arrives do i need to play online version if i wanna play season?

[pliant wolf]

Nice info, I remember reading about the monitoring for balance and as I mostly play solo I was planning on CoF

[desert tree]

RN all the content is the same across Legacy/Cycle/Offline

[exotic bough]

Hi, why i can't play offline?

[rancid vigil]

But can i play cycle if i choose non online?
Its maybe a stupid question

[outer mango]

its off until launch

[desert tree]

#news message
Game is not available until launch

[tacit sparrow]

Yeah I'm planning to play CoF aswell. Since you loose no progression from switching over, there's a world where you can have both faction at level 10 and just cherry pick according to the situation, even though I'd recommend waiting for one faction to be 10 before switching to the other, since the devs said pushing a faction to rank 10 will ask for some investment

[fervent quiver]

Yes, you can play offline cycle if you want to

[rancid vigil]

Got it thanms

[pliant wolf]

Nice to know that I'm not alone 😄

[desert tree]

Strongly advised against switching
You cant wear gear from the other faction and you loose all your Favors (from the factions you are leaving)

[fervent quiver]

Note that there was a change there: Switching factions will remove all Favor (not reputation) from the faction you're leaving

[ancient wedge]

where all the lich builds at!

[severe geyser]

Why exactly can't one use skins I've payed for used in Offline mode?? Is this a bug?

[desert tree]

In #💀┃acolyte

[tacit sparrow]

Oh now that's interesting ! That puts even more reason to really stick to a faction. Guess now the option is to have two characters, one in CoF, one in GM !

[steel merlin]

Reaper form, death seal, random filler

[fervent quiver]

Yup, two characters is better off.
According to Mike, they added the favor loss because there was an exploit otherwise.

[desert tree]

Smth about not able to verify the purchase without log in to a server, meaning you need an Internet Connection and then you are not fully truly Offline

[steel merlin]

The best way to game the system is to not game the system

[vast ferry]

What are you guys starting for 1.0?

[steel merlin]

Paladin vengeance triggering melee healing hands

[fervent quiver]

Because it can't be both true offline and simultaneously check which cosmetics you actually have.

[desert tree]

Gathering Storm

[fervent quiver]

I'm going spicy with Ballista Falconer. Ballista was one of the worst builds in the game, but I love the flavor of it, so I am hoping it's playable now.

[vast ferry]

I'll have to check that out.

[dense shard]

I did the same, so im really hoping this new update has revamped and made it easier to navigate inventory on controller and such!

[vast ferry]

I should probably go and charge my controller now.

[tacit sparrow]

Yeah, and since the faction progress is shared account wide (if you're playing legacy at least since progress is not transferred cycle from cycle I guess ?), every characters would be 10 at both factions and could equip any items without caring for the prerequisites (You know, the thing that says "if you dropped it with a level 8 CoF, the player equipping it has to be at least level 8 in CoF).

Clearly the best course, and it gives a reason to have at least one reroll. Smart move

[latent wadi]

Do items get tagged cof only if they come from prophecies or do they also get tagged if they « proc » from the ranks bonus ?

[quaint nexus]

hey guys what has historically been the best for pushing arena waves? i saw the top ten was like 90% lich, will other competitive options open up with 1.0?

[tacit sparrow]

I think they're tagged either way

[vast ferry]

So for 1.0 you have to start over? Do existing early access chars go Legacy>

[fervent quiver]

Oh, you misunderstand. It's not the reputation / faction ranks that you lose. What you lose is any unspent favor, the currency required for faction vendors and buying prophecies / using the bazaar.

[pliant wolf]

I think yes they go to legacy

[latent wadi]

Do we have any source for that ? Cause it’s my understanding aswell but I could have it wrong

[hidden mica]

Are resonances only usable on the character that obtained the resonance? Ie, if I'm playing carácter A with my friend and get a resonance for them, can I be playing my other character B, find an item, get my resonance out of my stash, and send the item to my friend from B instead of A?

[fervent quiver]

Any item that wouldnt exist without cof bonus or has been changed by a cof bonus is tagged, the rest isnt tagged but is still untradable. I'll give you a source in a sec

[quaint kettle]

wow thanks. sure will be awesome. it was cool i tried also it's just that in the inventory bag need to use the cursor. hope it will be more optimize

[sacred shell]

I got a question for 1.0 release. Does anyone know if the quest ezras ledger is still the same? Do you have to speak with different dudes still in order to get the two different rewards or can you pick nowdays and not accidently get the wrong one if you speak to the wrong person?

[fervent quiver]

Resoances are not character-bound, you can use them account-wide, they're just bound to they friend they dropped for.

[hidden mica]

They are tagged if they're obtained from a "passive rank bonus" or a prophecy. I had the exact same question and someone linked me the source and that was the exact wording. I can't find the source now unfortunately

[wild matrix]

I got to the point of choosing a mastery. Would it be best to make a new character for 1.0 or would I miss out on anything continuing that character?

[tidal zenith]

pretty sure that quest is the same. They did fix the monolith timelines to unlock either regardless of which choice you make though

[desert tree]

99% sure the 1st 3 Chapters have not been changed

[sacred shell]

Which one do you have to speak to in order to get avarice?

[hidden mica]

The only thing you miss out on is playing a new cycle with a fresh economy and whatnot. If you're playing solo and don't plan to trade, there's not much of a benefit to making a char in the new cycle

[thin wraith]

Anyone have any insight on how to build a warlock for Spine of Malatros? Losing the sprits on Fissure is brutal, but scaling Crit Multi through the roof from the weapon sounds fun

[tacit sparrow]

Oh no no I'm not talking about loosing the unspent favor at all ! I'm talking about the fact that if one of your legacy character is level 10 in CoF, every legacy characters you have will be 10 in CoF. Meaning every legacy characters in your account will bypass the prerequisite tag of CoF or MG regardless of their chosen faction at the time if you have two characters who pushed both faction at level 10, right ?

[fervent quiver]

@latent wadi Source here: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

Avarice is Erza himself. Gamler's whatever is the gambler

[tidal snow]

so the game start in 7 hour?

[vast ferry]

yes

[tidal zenith]

assuming the servers don't melt, yes 🙂

[fervent quiver]

No, that's not how it works. In order to equip a CoF item your character needs to currently be a member of CoF. You can never wear both CoF and MG items. If you swap from CoF to MG while wearing CoF gear, you can no longer wear it.

[vast ferry]

Will we be able to say bad words? There is an allow profanity switch, but it blocks everything like saying "butthole".

[tacit sparrow]

Riiiiiight ! Well there's that then, thanks for the input mate !

[hidden mica]

If the profanity filter on this server is anything to go by, I wouldn't count on it

[fervent quiver]

The bad word filter is a leftover from before chat had an auto moderator. If you wanna curse and stuff, you're probably best off using a private chat outside the game.

[vast ferry]

Sometimes I'd explain something, then it would block it and I didn't ven say anything bad.

[low dagger]

You can always use potty talk here

[hidden mica]

Well, kinda... Can't even drop an F bomb

[vast ferry]

It's not trying to curse. It was just the way I said it or whatever and it would be blocked. Like saying peppered angus or something. It blocked that yesterday.

[fervent quiver]

Yeah, the automoderator is still learning. Avarielle said if it blocks something it shouldn't, please report it using the ingame bug reporter.

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

[tacit sparrow]

One last question, I was under the impression CoF wasn't the only faction that would tag items but MG would too, right ? If you trade it, it gets tagged by the rank of the guy who sold it ? So it wouldn't be possible for your level 10 character in MG to buy an item, and put it in the stash for your CoF character to equip it ?

[low dagger]

🇫 💣

[vast ferry]

I am not going to submit, please do not censor, "pepper my angus".

[fervent quiver]

Correct. All items purchased on the bazaar or in direct player trade get MG-tagged.

[tacit sparrow]

Thank you very much

[storm blaze]

No, can't wear MG tagged items as CoF character.

[tidal zenith]

if you buy it from the bazaar, it is tagged with the rank that's required to wear it, not necessarily the rank of the seller

[tacit sparrow]

So a legendary torso would be a GM10 requirement and a legendary dagger would be a GM9, got it !

[potent epoch]

is there a straightforward way to estimate how much damage a build will do?
I'm curious which flavor of squirrel beastmaster will be better; crit, bleed, cold, etc.

[fervent quiver]

Yup. Which is not really an issue because you need those ranks to be able to buy them in the first place anyways.

[tacit sparrow]

Obviously yeah !

[hidden mica]

Items stay tagged permanently once they're tagged in any way. Everything that passes through the bazaar gets tagged MG, so CoF players can never equip anything from the bazaar

[tacit sparrow]

Unless they also pushed GM to 10 and switch, but loosing all the unspent CoF favor in the process yeah, got it

[green tusk]

guys cant decide between thorn totem and flame wraith necro, what would you prefer

[hidden mica]

I don't consider a character who switched to be a CoF character. You're one or the other at any one time

[fervent quiver]

I can tell you that pre-1.0 crit squirrels were the strongest. Do note that squirrel damage got nerfed by about 50% because they were bugged and way too strong (they were supposed to have a damage penalty and instead had a damage bonus).

[vast ferry]

So if I want to respec acendancy, do I just ask Ezra?

[fervent quiver]

You can not respec your mastery.

[hidden mica]

Cannot change your mastery, possibly ever@vast ferry

[dapper swift]

You can't change masteries

[potent epoch]

yeah I did run crit squirrels in 0.92. I'm just wondering if there is some way I can put in all of the skills/gear/etc. and then get an estimation of damage - kinda like PoB

[tight violet]

how does the chance to proc Ice Barrage with Power Word: Hail on Frost Claw work? Does it keep overriding your ice barrage because you can only have 1 at a time up, or does it just prevent a proc if ice barrage is already active?

It was a PoE joke guys.

[low dagger]

Also Erza*

The node reads:

You have a chance to cast Ice Barrage in the target direction when you cast Frost Claw.
This consumes mana equal to Ice Barrage's mana cost and cannot trigger if you are out of mana.

The chance scales from 5-15%

[acoustic thicket]

Someone decide for meeee. Do I go paladin or necromancer?

[fervent quiver]

I can't say for sure without testing it, but from my understanding a subsequent procc would overwrite the previous barrage

That would be very bad then Since Ice Barrage only gets good with duration.

just bought this game, would like to play as paladin, is it worth?

yeah, it is like 2h with the game open! but if the servers are down, nobody will let the game open i thin

[hidden mica]

yes, AND they need to currently be aligned with CoF

[fervent quiver]

Mostly yes, but some items you find while in CoF will be untagged and can thus still be equipped by your other chars.

[potent epoch]

Yes. Any items found with CoF can still be used on your other characters who are also CoF.
(nobody would pick CoF otherwise... part of the fun is gearing your alts...)

[dusty token]

sometimes i catch myself having a game still open while already playing a different game 😄

[static crypt]

never happen to me

[willow saddle]

hmmmm so if you wanna have multiple chars or try different builds it might be better to go trade

[tidal zenith]

Depends on the build you want to switch to. Some really want certain uniques, some just want enough skill points. Getting to monoliths is usually a good swapping point though

[hollow mantle]

how easy or difficult respec is ?

[prime gorge]

has it been asnwered if there is a way to bind force move and force stop? just like in D3 you can shift and press the ability to force cast anywhere without any target.

[tidal zenith]

weapons are actually stat sticks, even the damage is a modifier. Attack speed is averaged between the weapons if you dual wield

[tidal zenith]

already does; there are cosmetics that you can apply (only online mode though)

[severe fjord]

I have heard that 2h axe is just straight up better than 2 axes for example? Because I am thinking of trying dual wielding shaman but unsure if that makes sense

[fleet ginkgo]

Coming from D4, the minions necro was really boring. Is it more fun here or just passively wait?

[tidal zenith]

unless you specifically mean "use that cool unique axe skin on this rare" transmog, in which case, no

[shell quartz]

someone has a screenshot of the character cration page where you select name ?

[severe fjord]

what do I gain from dual wielding compared to 2hing

[dapper swift]

Seeing how for example Frostbite Shackles required level is 74, but a drop from the boss of the Monolith, but Normal is 70, I guess it would never ever drop?

[old tartan]

a kiss mwa

[mental prism]

dual wielding lets you have twice the amount of weapon affixes

[fervent quiver]

Generally builds are required to be more active here. There's not many passive buffs, usually playing minions requires you to buff them and / or engage in combat yourself in order make them stronger.

[fleet ginkgo]

Is it fun in your opinion? Like on D4 I like more smashing things with Barbs

[fervent quiver]

I enjoy summoners, but Iíf you like to smash things yourself rather than rely on minions, you should probably still go for that.

[drowsy zealot]

can i reroll my passives

[fleet ginkgo]

Which class do you recommend for smashing stuff?

[fervent quiver]

You can get Frostbite Shackles from non-empowered Frost Lich still.

[sharp saffron]

yes it costs very little gold to reroll any passive skills
the only thing you cant reroll is your starter class and the mastery you pick
so if you pick Marksman for instance you need a new character to play Falconer

[drowsy zealot]

ok thanks

im thinking if i should make a lich or a necromancer

[fervent quiver]

If you want whirlwind and a general "Warrior-esque" feel, go Sentinel. If you want to be more feral / druidic, go Primalist. Werebear primalist is a pretty fun fantasy in my opinion.

[mental prism]

also probably not a good idea to keep switching between item factions unless you really know what youre doing

[drowsy zealot]

will warlock be available on the patch

[craggy cosmos]

wait you can switch factions, does it reset the progress ?

[rough shuttle]

You can switch / there is no progress reset..

[tidal zenith]

yep, warlock and faloner in this patch

[drowsy zealot]

nice maybe ill try warlock hahaha

[abstract solar]

is there any benefits for grouping up and level as a party or solo all the way?

[fleet ginkgo]

How’s paladin based off what we’re discussing?

[tidal zenith]

if you liked hammer barb, well, there's a paladin variant in LE...

[dusky kite]

no, progress is account wide and your different characters can be in different factions

[fleet ginkgo]

Yeah I liked it, but on Diablo you can oneshot everything with HotA. I guess here won’t be the same

[tidal zenith]

yeah, not quite as strong, but it's pretty good

[dusky kite]

you can gift items that were dropped while grouped up between each other, also the scaling for multiple people groups makes the content even easier

[craggy cosmos]

can you buy an item for example on warlock to give to your character on opposite faction ?

[young blade]

Will you provide us with an early download of the game before 11 CST?

[tidal zenith]

no, because offline mode

[dusky kite]

sure, but it will be MG flagged and that character won't be able to equip it while not in MG

[abstract solar]

oh nice so if i want to level quicker its good to group up

[young blade]

Unlucky... Ok... Few hours left 🙂

[old tartan]

how long till release hour?

[craggy cosmos]

maybe stupid question but cant you then switch > grab item > switch back?

[tidal zenith]

check #news , it autoconverts to your timezone

[old tartan]

oh cool

[tidal zenith]

you won't have favor to do that

[dusky kite]

not sure what you mean here. You can't equip a faction tagged item while not on that faction

So you could do that but you'd end up with an item you can't use

[elfin sparrow]

Does anyone have a good video that explains the SSF mechanics? I heard from Lizard that there where way to block certain drops etc

[sharp saffron]

yes you can. You fill need to farm favor first, as you lose all of it on switch, but its definitely what a lot of people will do

[fervent quiver]

As people said, hammerdin is pretty good. Many paladin builds are lowish damage, but paladin has excellent defenses and healing, and is also quite comfy in group play thanks to holy aura. Also easy to gear because the aura gives you tons of free resists.

[spare hinge]

Hi When I’m signing up it asks me to verify my email but it just sends me to their website homepage?

[tidal zenith]

servers are down for launch, so you can't make an account

[craggy cosmos]

gotcha things are clear thank you guys

[sharp saffron]

are you sure about this? a lot of people will play CoF and then switch to MG to finalize their builds

[keen shoal]

with setting up loot filters - are there a good base or default loot filter? like loot that can apply for all chars. sure im going to play shaman but what if a good bow drops for my marksman?

[spare hinge]

Ok thank you

[tidal zenith]

There's a lot of resources for that, here's a video by ZiggyD, he does a good job of explaining a base filter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YPVlBM4j0c

[errant oar]

What should I play when game is back up, Falcon or Void Knight?

[dusky kite]

Read the articles about the factions again, then you can search the ask devs channel too, it's been confirmed more times than anything else in the game.

[remote mirage]

the good drops will be exalted drops and those shouldnt be hidden by any of the filters

[keen shoal]

yea im just worried i setup a lootfilter for my shaman, but then i exclude a good drop for another class i would make later

[short sorrel]

Does anyone know a skill/build that is similar to hexblast in PoE? Like a single big AoE spell, you basically mark the enemy and then explode them and ideally it explodes everything around it too 😄

[onyx briar]

Any item that they find due to the loot drop bonuses of CoF will be tagged as CoF only, and if they switch to MG then they won't be able to equip any of those items.

[spark birch]

Lads question about mtx , will i be able to see it if im in werebear form?

[keen shoal]

i will check this out, thanks

[tidal zenith]

making a lootfilter for multiple classes is tricky because you need to know what you'd want on your other build 🙂

[remote mirage]

one thing to check is if your loot filter you grab from somewhere is whether it hides some idols for other classes, thats the only other thing i can think of

[keen shoal]

yea i was hoping the loot filter would have like a base setup like PoE. wheres if high res,+ life rolls drop i can use that on all chars or if a bow with good attack mods drop i wont block it

[quick crown]

question, does symbol of demise consume all your ward? or only enough to fill up its stacks?

[tidal zenith]

The new Warlock is a bunch of curse stuff, probably has an explody thing

[dusky kite]

no, the bear form replaces your model and has no customization (so far)

[wooden tulip]

Hi guys, quick question ! Is the group play (aka leveling with friend / farming end game) great ? Does it "slow down" the progression by increasing too much the difficulty ? And is the drop rate / xp the same as playing alone ?

[lyric star]

Is there any news about mounts in this game?

[golden veldt]

Русские есть, у меня игра не запускается, что делать?

[spark birch]

damn, thanks !

[tidal zenith]

no mounts are planned, they would have to redesign zones to accomidate them

[dusky kite]

it's been a shitshow in terms of network stability but they seem to be updating the netcode/server infrastructure significantly so nobody knows how it will be in 1.0. The difficulty is generally easier in a group because the mobs scale up less than the power each extra player brings. Everybody has individual drops and there are no drop penalties for being in a group

[midnight compass]

When Circle of fortune is available?

[quick crown]

the game is not open-world like D4, it doesnt need mounts

[dusky kite]

страдать, до 20 мск профилактика на серверах - см. новости

[static temple]

hey guys so the downtime is over? I still seem to be running the beta version of the game

[candid pagoda]

Guys are old lootfilters gonna work for 1.0?

[nova briar]

I cannot enter in the online game😭 keep loading

[tidal zenith]

in general? with the patch. When you unlock it in game? Act 9

[quick crown]

downtime lasts for another 6 hours

[golden veldt]

Спасибо, дружище! Даже оффлайн не смогу поиграть, верно?

[static temple]

oh okay thanks

[lyric star]

Mounts only need if its open world? I dont think soo

[tidal zenith]

no, check #news for time in your timezone

[dusky kite]

нет, т.к. пока что для оффлайна тоже нужно авторизоваться на сервере. После выхода 1.0 можно будет играть совсем оффлайн

[prime gorge]

can i force stand still with shift?

[golden veldt]

Правильно ли понимаю, что 1.0 сегодня выходит?

[velvet ferry]

I ask it here as it must have already been answered :
If I drop an item (without CoF tag) while playing with a friend. Can I craft it then gift it to him or does crafting prevent it from being gifted ?

[lone flume]

Да. примерно через 5-6 часов

[dusky kite]

да, 20:00 мск

[quick crown]

as far as im aware, there is no info on crafting stuff preventing it from being gifted

[dusky kite]

yes but depending on your setup you might want to update them for the new affixes and bases

[tidal zenith]

resonance doesn't care, for sure. Pretty sure it's just a timer if they were in the party with you

[candid pagoda]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/935989994735169546/1184938701034377367/togif-3-1.gif

[golden veldt]

Спасибо большое! Как вообще, порог вхождения низкий? Просто, я фан диаблы, но хейтер ПОЕ, вот и надеюсь что LE будет ближе к диабле:) Но 4ую часть покупать за 10 кусков я не хочу...

[velvet ferry]

So this could be a way to gift rare shards to a friend

[old tartan]

LMAO

[dusky kite]

тут вообще предполагается английский язык в чате, так что модераторы нашу дискуссию могут в любой момент снести, лучше на ру-сервер перейти я думаю или в личку

[lone flume]

там в игре гайд есть встроенный (кнопка G), можно в чате спросить, чат русский есть. Помогут. Порог хороший) входи

[wooden tulip]

Nice, thank you so much dude

[quick crown]

well unless you use the rune of removal, there is not a 100% chance to get the shards from the item when you shatter it

[candid pagoda]

эм чел по ангилски пиши нихуя не понятно

[nova briar]

It is still beta now？

[static temple]

yes 6 hours till 1.0

[slim solar]

English only please!

[candid pagoda]

[dusky kite]

horosho bro 9 bydy toJIK0 p0-aHrJIuucKu

[candid pagoda]

okay bratan sounds horosho

Who start explosive balista emote here

[fallow ingot]

I have no clue what I'm starting, probably a new mastery since I played everything else in early access

[candid pagoda]

[lyric vigil]

what will u guys play ssf or trade at start?

[fallow ingot]

Leaning toward warlock actually haha like the aesthetic more

[candid pagoda]

TRADE FOR LIFE

[charred yarrow]

How viable and how far can i push my own builds in this game? Is it hard to impossible like poe or pretty easy like diablo?

[fallow ingot]

SSF FOR LIFE

[fallow ingot]

More complicated than diablo, less complicated than poe

[nova briar]

now i cannot play the game both online and offline！

[rough shuttle]

This game is playable / allot easier than POE and more forgiving.. soo any sort of non stupid meme build with a bit of logic to it will be fine.

[charred yarrow]

Thanks, that seems prefect

[quick crown]

question, does symbol of demise unique off-hand consume all your ward? or only enough to fill up its stacks?

[old tartan]

I'm thinking about a lightining blast runemaster

[rough shuttle]

As a POE player i understand your hesitance to do play blind.. But its completely viable! Scaling is easy to understand and defensive layers are not too difficult to understand.. Nothing really holds you back when it comes to going in blind.. Its NOT POE, so respec / changes are easy!

[old tartan]

just played as a lightining swarmblade druid

[rocky venture]

Pretty sure it's all your ward, also I think the stacks don't have a limit, only the bleed chance is capped.

[old tartan]

thinking about a little magic for now on

[pallid thistle]

hey, wanting to play a bleed warlock with controller, is there some skills or items or ways to makes chaos bolts auto-target enemies instead of clicking around?

[wanton quest]

Was about to ask the same question so doing a follow up question instead: I guess you spend a "X" currency to respec or how does it work?

[dreamy sundial]

Why is not counter on site for 1.0? Huge event

[rough shuttle]

You indeed spend a little bit of "gold" per respec point. but due to the large amount of this gold you get.. its not a single problem to fund.. even from just random pickups you'll have more then plenty! (but this is ONLY for respecc class specific nodes)

Nodes that effect skills / deselecting those is free.. Though you'll have to level it up again as you don't keep the level

[forest topaz]

What are most fun builds/ classes/ skills to play with ? I played skele mag cold necro and it was quite good especially with bosses ( I died some times but minion killed the boss and it was completed anyway, in campaign I mean )

[rough shuttle]

I'd say look on google / youtube.. Though the build you mentioned (skele mage) will still be viable.. personally i'll be doing a VK Autobomber

[quick crown]

Each stack of Demise grants 10% Bleed Chance (up to 200%)```
it only stacks up to 10, thats why i was asking

[dusky kite]

Fun is subjective and a lot of skills in the game I'd qualify as "fun". What style of class/gameplay are you looking for?

[wanton quest]

How is character customization when you create a new character in the current build (pre 1.0)? Is it the same as the beta/EA and do we know if they will change it in the future?

[fading bison]

How does party play affect monsters? Is it similar to PoE where monsters get more HP based on party size?

[rocky venture]

Forgive me if I'm just blind, but I don't see anything about a stack limit anywhere on the item?

[fiery idol]

Is there any link to a podcast about 1.0 somewhere?

[exotic hollow]

so what even happens when u go past 100% bleed chance kek, do u apply double bleed

[fading bison]

You should have a chance to apply two+ stacks with one hit, yeah. Unless it specifically does not work that way for bleed

[forest topaz]

Vk autobomber seems to me little to basic, I mean it's like half of the players community wanna play this which makes me not wanna play this, minion was good but kinda slow for me, I want something fast just blast through the maps and go to another ;p

[rocky venture]

Yes, 150% chance to bleed = apply 1 stack always and 50% to apply 2

[zealous sinew]

Any suggestion which class is that and what is the spell name he is using? https://youtu.be/LGNB-ZuNREo?t=327

[bleak wasp]

any video that explains the game ?

[rocky venture]

Spellblade using snap freeze, shatter strike and surge

[quick crown]

i sent you a screenshot of the item to your DM, since this chat doesnt support screenshots atm

[dusky kite]

nothing changes in regards to character customization in 1.0

[dusky kite]

yes, most ailment builds will stack hundreds of application chance

[hexed lotus]

Hey people, 1.0 coming out in 6 hours right?

[quick crown]

yes

[timid summit]

Guys i have a questions about dead on hc mode . Character after dead going to eternal no sezon or softcore sezon ??

[keen dust]

https://tenor.com/view/mark-cooper-jones-jay-foreman-map-men-grave-inhumation-gif-13298387559146904695

[dusky kite]

softcore season

[quick crown]

there is no way to move a character from season to non season, if you die as a season hardcore character you move to softcore season

[timid summit]

Ok thx for that 🙂

[wraith pelican]

Ayo, is there a guild mechanic in game? and if so what's the benefit ?

[dusky kite]

no

[quick crown]

there is not any player guilds no

[timid summit]

And all stash going to SC or stay on hc ?

[quick crown]

stay on hc

[timid summit]

Mhm but glypf and runes go on SC with character ?

[lone flume]

How does monsters HP / damage scale in a party?

[wraith pelican]

no guilds? booo
last epoch bad diablo 4 good

[still glen]

guys is that controller support it?

[rough shuttle]

Yes 1.0 comes with full support

[quick crown]

no, that also stays on hardcore i believe since its tied to the account not the character

[nimble cypress]

Is it just me or is offline play also not possible atm?

[honest anvil]

% increase in hp. when i run with two other peers it usually says 255-260% increased health
during levelling that is

[timid summit]

Thx

[quick crown]

ïts not possible since the authentication servers are down, if you already had the game on before the servers went down you could still play offline
full offline offline mode is coming with 1.0

[lone flume]

so no damage scaling? only HP?

[nimble cypress]

ah damn alright thanks 🙂

[honest anvil]

think so, yeah

[strange radish]

A question about multiplayer, is there any instance anywhere you can you see other players publically?? Like a hub area or town or anything or is it strictly only see other players if they’re in your party?

[remote mirage]

you will see people in towns

[quick crown]

all town areas are multiplayer hub areas

[tranquil crescent]

Hi guys can someone please tell me the key differences in offline and online mode. Will I be able to paly both if i started online and have a bad internet connection. Does trading work only in online mode?

[honest anvil]

patch notes also mentioned something about increasing the number of random people you can see in towns

[heavy grotto]

Why i Can’ı join in The Game ?

[strange radish]

Ahh okay that’s cool

[still glen]

guys is that controller support it?

[remote mirage]

you cant have a character switch between those, if you make a character its either for online or offline

[candid trail]

Will alt leveling be easy? The campaign felt kinda long to me on the first playthrough

[tranquil crescent]

ah okay. What about the trading aspect?

[quick crown]

the servers are down for another 6 hours

[hexed vault]

hey, peeps. is there a righteous fire-like build in epoch?

[remote mirage]

trading is only for online

[heavy grotto]

Okay thanks 🤧

[tranquil crescent]

okay, So is it better to play character found if playing offline?

[quick crown]

there is, called Fire Aura, but its a lot weaker than righteous fire, its almost a noob trap

[hexed vault]

what about a devouring orb build?

[swift glade]

Someone knows why i cant bind the extra buttons of my mouse to use skills

[remote mirage]

i cant decide for you, but if you dont care about trading with other players and worry about server stability i'd stick to offline

[heady wyvern]

As someone who is yet to try the game, what classes do you guys recommend

[honest anvil]

worth mentioning that offline characters are completely separate ^^

[tranquil crescent]

what I meant by that question was to ask if there is an advantage playing character found mode while playing in offline. I would be starting offline since my internet is poopy

[modern hornet]

yo boys, is there any possibility to do any changes to a lootfilter while the game is offline? i d like to prep my filter before the game launches

[vapid sequoia]

can we do chinese chat channel?

[quick crown]

i have not played devouring orb myself but that skill should be fine to use

[honest anvil]

going by logic based on maxroll filters, i assume that you can export in a similar manner your filter and edit the text yes?

but gonna need to know what to write i guess

[modern hornet]

yee i guess imma just wait, i don t think i m able to do it as a text 😄

[remote mirage]

actual advantage comes from joining the Circle of Fortune faction as part of campaign and thats not connected to whether you make a char that is restricted

[tranquil crescent]

ohh

[honest anvil]

yeah if there isn't one already, we should get some form of filterblade from poe. Doesn't sound too complicated given it would just convert what you select in a browser into text readable for the game 🤔

[exotic hollow]

if u wont ever party with anyone lmao

[remote mirage]

there will be a mode that makes it so a char has its own stash that wont be accessible to any other char so be wary

[tranquil crescent]

yea my friends all play fps games 😦

[quick crown]

is that even needed? the ingame filter menus are already very easy to understand and highly customisable

[tranquil crescent]

anyway thank you so much for answering the queries @remote mirage @honest anvil @exotic hollow

[modern hornet]

yep filter blade is indeed awesome
wrong tag btw xd

[exotic hollow]

ok?
i know was just teasing

[honest anvil]

not in the sense of necessity of more accessibility, but rather being able to mess with your filter outside the game when you are not logged i guess ^^

[quick crown]

ah, i see
maybe a offline program similar to path of building for editing your filter would be better then

[wanton quest]

How big is the game (storage wise) after installing everything in the current build?

[quick crown]

17.5 GB

[gaunt mason]

as a primalist, can you have crows and wolves active at same time? Just thinking of running a crows + wolves build similar to d2 druid jungle build

[lime canopy]

Hey guys, do we have countdown clock ?

[quick crown]

about 5 hours and 30 minutes
and no, no countdown clock

[remote mirage]

Total size on disk is 17.57 GiB and total download size is 7.48 GiB, when filtered to Windows, English, no DLC depots.

[wanton quest]

LE is also getting controller support in 1.0 right?

[remote mirage]

it already had it in early access but now its getting much better

[minor vigil]

It was playable before but they're improving it greatly

[wanton quest]

Ooo nice, might give it a try on my steam deck

[prime stag]

sorry just to confirm as im new (just got the game today, and im in australia), the servers are back online in 5.5 hours?

[keen dust]

y

[sick bluff]

hello where is the countdown

[late onyx]

Anyone know if they are fixing the disconnect on zoning. Online I could never enter the very first town, always disconnected. Had a blast offline! But want to be able to play online...

[lusty bolt]

its possible to play offline mode for now?

[sharp halo]

nope

[storm blaze]

no

[sick bluff]

anyone know how big the game will be?

[smoky glade]

larger than 17.5 GiB

[sick bluff]

o ok ty

[prime stag]

Thank you! Maybe ill stay up late! Excited to try the game 😛

[cosmic verge]

any big sword big burst class sugestion for new player

[whole cargo]

what counts as an accessory?

[minor vigil]

Void Knight

[viral kettle]

what do ppl and devs say, will there be problem at launch, ppl not able to connect or?

[olive yew]

Does starting in the new cycle have any advantages besides leaderboards? Do we get every other 1.0 stuff in the legacy?

[smoky glade]

nope, yep

[trim zenith]

is there a poll on MG vs COF ?

[minor vigil]

They're working pretty hard to ensure a smooth launch but it's impossible to say for sure

[viral kettle]

i see

[teal jewel]

Are there dedicated Healer/Support builds for coop in this game? I'm mostly interested in this kind of gameplay, but if it's all just dps I'm not sure about playing.

[viral kettle]

hope all will be alright, or i will be forced to create an offline char for start:P

[minor vigil]

I would not take off work for launch though, personally

[maiden knot]

Hi, there is a bonus for playing in group ?

[exotic hollow]

u can get carried 🤣

the honus would be sharing buffs, splitting aggro

[modern pike]

I bought the game ages ago and haven't touched it since, now that it's moved to steam I can't even download the client anymore without being prompted to buy the game? I can't log in to the website using my steam account either. What do I need to do?

Nevermind, I figured it out

[steel jay]

So i wanted to ask before launch. How do ailments work? im planning on going warlock and im curious how they work. I know some say that they do / dont stack but can i have as many debuffs on a mob as i want? or is there a limit?

[acoustic thicket]

as far as i know thre is no cap

[glossy musk]

is there a preload for the update

[steel jay]

cool! and im assuming there are preffixes for increase dmg per ailment or debuff? wondering what type of stuff i should focus on getting

[acoustic thicket]

asnd some skills too

[remote mirage]

there is a unique item that has a 8% more damage per ailment on enemy affix https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDsGYCYEYg i think its getting a nerf to 6% tho

[steel jay]

ah sick! still wondering if i want to try out some of the builds online for warlock but ill probably just wing it for my first time on the campaing as that seems more fun lol

[slim solar]

No

[remote mirage]

oh, and its also being limited to only 8 ailments

[dusky kite]

you can build something like that on something like paladin but the scope and usefulness of full support builds are extremely limited in this game

[steel jay]

that looks so damn silly... i love it

[lilac forum]

Question. i got a little problem with my shoulder and looking for a build that strong and dont need to aim too much. would ballista falconeer work with that? 🙂

[neat aspen]

hi, i have a question about (% Increased Crit Chance ). I found an item with (70% increase crit chance) i look at my stat it only increased like 4%.
so, how does it work?

[queen estuary]

Could I play offline now?

[steel jay]

so is the item that can make items into unique just somethign that can randomly drop rarely?

[lilac forum]

no.

[queen estuary]

😂

[dusky kite]

I guess yes? The AOE is almost wider than your screen

[sacred zealot]

Is there a benefit to the self found loot system?

[dusky kite]

those are increases to your base crit chance, which is 5% by default (but can be improved via items or skills)

[lilac forum]

yeah i figured that too. might even try it with controller as the support for them is better now. 🙂

[dusky kite]

the SSF toggle is supposed to be a sort of challenge mode playthrough

[spring umbra]

I've heard people really liking marksman with controller

[sacred zealot]

Nice, ty

[dusky kite]

if you mean the rune of ascendance, then yes, it's a semi-rare random drop

[spring umbra]

I know the range for multiarrow is beyond the screen too

[indigo jackal]

when the game release do we get access to the games normal items as cosmetics?

[sharp saffron]

youre not dead?

[grand harness]

поясните за время

[neat aspen]

omg, i have invested so much on that stat... should have picked soemthing with higher sustained dmg, I thought i would see yellow numbers melting mobs

[agile thicket]

@grand harness 20 00 msc

[grand harness]

Thx^*

[true breach]

can i read the patch notes anywhere now?

[dusky kite]

most hit builds want to have 100% crit chance in the endgame and increased crit chance is requiered to get there

[dusky kite]

#news message

[sharp saffron]

Will Mages be able to channel the burning servers at launch to deal increased Fire damage?

[lilac forum]

Homepage seems down atm so im not sure where you can find them. maby check a youtubers video about it 🙂

[true breach]

links to forum which is down

[rough shuttle]

See #💬┃general Pinned comments for my post showing an alternative link

[dusky kite]

it was the orbital strike node on healing hands but it's bugged in release, so the answer is probably no

[rough shuttle]

Why can't i open patch notes?

Due to overwhelming numbers on the patch notes release site, it has unfortunately stopped working, as such..

[twilit iron]

Hello, newbie here as I am going to buy the game. I am a poe player but haven't played in a while. There are certain things iw ant to know.

1. Does this game has MTX system?
2. Does this game required guide like, POB? if yes, can you tell me?
3. Is this game complex like POE or is it for casual gamers?

[rough shuttle]

1. It does have some skins but nothing as extreme as you may be used to from POE. (perhaps in the future)
2. It can be played without a guide
3. The game is easier then POE and can be played by a casual

[spring umbra]

I agree with all of these answers

[twilit iron]

thats awesome man. The servers are offline now right?

[rough shuttle]

See #💬┃general Pinned comments for a bunch of info or #news

[steel jay]

That sounds like a fun drop haha so it dropa from any enemy? And any recommendations on what to use it on at league start if one geta lucky?

[remote mirage]

if you hate minion tooltips in PoE, you will hate them in last epoch

[spring umbra]

Offline until 12pm EST

[steel jay]

Oh and is there any singular rarest item in the game? Like mageblood i think it was called in poe

[twilit iron]

another question, does this game also need stash[for maps, premium tabs, fragments etc] like poe which we buy from the store.

[spring umbra]

Stash tabs are bought with in game gold

[twilit iron]

i am necromancer enjoyer hahah xd

@spring umbra gold = microtransaction right?

[rough shuttle]

There are some low drop chance items.. but nothing that would be used in trading. So i guess therea re indeed items of the sort

As for stash tabs they can be bought with ingame currency and don't cold allot.. You can easily afford a shit ton of them

Gold is ingame currency

[spring umbra]

The stash is amazing! It's well thought out with lots of customization options and a nice tree to quickly access any tab

[steel jay]

Nope

[dusky kite]

look at what common pool uniques your build wants and start rollign on those, the odds aren't stellar anyways and you can't get boss or otherwise specific drops from it

[remote mirage]

stash tabs are bought with gold, gold is drop only currency, there is only one type of stash tabs and there is no affinities, you can group them and rename/color them

[charred barn]

Would you still be able to trade with character self found?

[junior garden]

can we trade runes

[spring umbra]

No trading for self-found

[dusky kite]

some legendaries at 4 lp are so rare that they are unlikely to drop until the heat death of the universe. Literally.

[twilit iron]

wow, thank you for detailed answer guys.

[junior garden]

will i be able to trade with my current character

[twilit iron]

any youtuber who plays necromancer for LE like ghazzy for poe?
would love to watch some videos before i hop on.

[spring umbra]

Trading in the pre-launch was limited to other party members that were there when you found the item. I'm not sure how it's going to work going forward

[dusky kite]

yes but all items that were acquired before patch 1.0 will be untradeable

[steel jay]

Lmao nice. What soes 4 Lp stand for?

[remote mirage]

you cant trade across legacy and cycle so it depends where you playing, trade will probably be pretty dead in legacy

[dense cypress]

Is there anything new for endgame since the mp beta started?

[junior garden]

it says legacy only affects leaderboard

[graceful isle]

Anybody know how many gigabytes the update will be?

[spring umbra]

Legendary Potential, 4 LP means you can add 4 affixes to it from exhaulted gear (purple) in a forge found after beatinga dungeon

[dusky kite]

they reworked/updated a few systems but nothing completely new

[remote mirage]

they reworked how long echos last, modifiers are now static and dont scale, corruption scaling reworked

[junior garden]

it doesnt say legacy effects trading

[remote mirage]

characters from legacy cant interact with characters from cycle is what i meant

[spring umbra]

Seasonal & Legacy are separate though. No trading between them and most of the active players will be on seasonal

[junior garden]

that doesnt make any sense

[spring umbra]

Why? Seaons are aa fresh start.

[remote mirage]

it makes all the sense, if you let people from legacy use their wealth in cycle, there would be no point in cycle

[fathom knot]

Is it intentional that I can't play offline atm? It worked around 10 hours ago while the servers were offline too

[junior garden]

why would i buy a game to fresh start

[hexed sapphire]

what time on uk time zone game start today ??

[remote mirage]

its a well established concenpt in ARPGs since diablo 2

[dense cypress]

5 UK time

[spring umbra]

Offline mode was not truly offline. It required server authentication. That's going to change to true offline but probably not until the launch patch

[shadow eagle]

18:00

[junior garden]

still doesnt make sense

[hexed sapphire]

thx

[junior garden]

why would i want to reset my progress

[spring umbra]

After you crush everthinga nd have all the best gear with a 0.00000001% chance of getting anything that could be an upgrade, a fresh start is fun. Chances are there will be cosmetic rewards for reaching milestones in a new season as well

[vale imp]

Is the Server ready for all thousend Players in a few hours? 👍😉

[remote mirage]

it makes a lot of sense, its a genre built on replayability, if you allow people to just use their level 100 chars and years of acquired wealth that replayability goes to the shitter

[polar sand]

You don't have to, it's an option

[dense cypress]

If you don't want to just play legacy and don't worry about seasonal

[junior garden]

yeh but im being told i lose out on stuff if i play on my current character

[spring umbra]

They sort of did a soft launch. Most of the people that will play a launch were already playing. Plus it's noon on a Wed. The weekend will be a big test but I thyyink they have a good idea of how much stress their servers will see

[jagged aspen]

Why would you do the dirty with the missus, if you've already done it before?

[remote mirage]

you wont lose out on anything actually, you will just be in a zimbabwe economy

[spring umbra]

Hahaha good point.

[polar sand]

Not true, there's no reset, but you start fresh if you play on cycles, and the first cycle starts today.

[junior garden]

so im meant to just disregard everything i got to play

[spring umbra]

After a season, those characters enter the legacy pool with all items and what not

[polar sand]

No 😄 It's optional

[hushed flame]

Does anyone know if we die in HC cycle, are we transfer to SC cycle or Legacy?

[junior garden]

I still dont get why this is a good thing

[dense cypress]

Sc cycle

[fathom knot]

It is fun to start a new character with friends every now and then because you can only do so much to improve a character

[spring umbra]

If you are starting fresh already, go cycle/seasonal and then if you don't want to do it, your character will be legacy and you can keep playing

[junior garden]

i put a lot of time in my current level 53 character

[tight violet]

resets are basically the only thing that keep arpgs alive

[midnight elm]

you're clearly new to arpgs lol

[polar sand]

In some games, for example D3, a new season brings new challenges or a new system, same for PoE. Maybe cycle #2 in Last Epoch will add something to the game which can only be accessed by playing the cycle.

[spring umbra]

You don't have to do cycles. I had 2 lvl 70+ but I've done seasons in the past and I like them. The game can get stale at a certain point

[jagged aspen]

Ten of hours, TEN

[fervent quiver]

And nothing is stopping you from continuing that. Meanwhile, other people would rather start over. It's like a new wow server or something. You can choose whether you want to play on the new server or on the old one, no one is forcing you either way.

[spring umbra]

Don't let FOMO get you. Do wahtever you feel works for you 🙂

[junior garden]

Well its clear im at some sort of penalty if i dont restart

[spring umbra]

Not really.

[fathom knot]

Many games like Path of Exile introduce new content in their seasons too, so you can play your permanent character, but you will not get to play the seasonal mechanics unless the are deemed good enough to be patched into the core game. It lets devs experiment with new ideas without compromising the core game and setting expectations that not everything will stick around

[fervent quiver]

Why? Who said that? There is no penalty

[junior garden]

If theres cosmetics etc, i wont be able to grab them

[polar sand]

It's not like that currently, but yeah it might be like that in future cycles

[spring umbra]

I think you're stressing too much over this

[fervent quiver]

There isn't any though. The free cosmetics are twitch drops.

[remote mirage]

first cycle has no rewards for playing in it but they might add exclusive content to cycles later on, you can check #1161416976321744896

[spring umbra]

I haven't even seen confirmed cosmetics for seasons. It's just a very common thing for these games

[remote mirage]

ah, they dont cover it in FAQ currently but plans are as i said

[distant lintel]

Hey guys. I am debating whether I should get this game or not. Can anyone help me decide -_-

[remote mirage]

get this game

[junior garden]

god i hate twitch drops

[sacred zealot]

Get it

[fervent quiver]

They said it might or might not happen. There is currently no indicator in either direction

[spring umbra]

Man, then don't do them

[rigid grove]

Get it

[distant lintel]

was that a reply to me

[remote mirage]

which is what i said, "might"

[junior garden]

ever since twitch made me require those authenticator apps to sign in

[rigid grove]

Absolutly

[fervent quiver]

Then ignore them. They're just toys. They don't give any gameplay benefit.

[polar sand]

If you want a good ARPG, then get this one yeah, but there's so many games to play these days, so some other game from another genre could be better in your case. Sons of the Forest also comes out of early access tomorrow for example.

[spring umbra]

They aren't going to be exclusive. Nearly everyone will have them. Just don't do the drops

[pliant marlin]

Do you like ARPGs? Get it. Not sure if you like ARPGs? Well dunno, read a review from a source you trust maybe. How could discord chat help you decide if you like a game or not? 😄

[quick crown]

its only like $30 if thats not enough to convince you idk what could

[junior garden]

capes look cool

[dense cypress]

Then get an authenticator:p

[junior garden]

i do, i just dont use my phone a lot personal problem

[spring umbra]

The end game is real. That's waht sold me. And the dungeons have actual mechanics that you have to figure out but they teach you sooo well by making you use them along the way

[distant lintel]

I dont know if I like ARPGs, I never played them.. I only played a little big of that single player/coop ARPG that has Dawn in the name, but I picked Necro there and killed everything instantly idk.
I guess my concern is if the game is repeatative that u just have to clean fast mobs or there is some other challenge or type of exciement of gameplay

[remote mirage]

there is OTP authenticators for windows if thats what twitch uses

[spring umbra]

If your twitch doesn't have a card in it, why not deactivate the authentacator?

[junior garden]

security

[quick crown]

all ARPG games are repetive towards the end of the game

[polar sand]

ARPGs are generally repetitive, but if the repeating gameplay is entertaining it's worth it for a lot of people

[spring umbra]

What are you securing? Do you use Twitch or have personal info in there?

[stable turret]

Does that 1.0 patch start downloading at 12pm est or do we get to predownload it early (does anyone know)

[polar sand]

no pre-load as far as I know

[quick crown]

no preloading available
#1209608600612376587 message

[junior garden]

im what you called paranoid security wise

[spring umbra]

No idea @stable turret I hope we get it an hour or 2 before launch time

[wheat path]

So I'm assuming its much wiser to wait till 1.0 drops before playing since there are multitudes of new stuff added?

[shut vault]

Bacuase of offliner play, i dont think they can offer preload

[pliant marlin]

It's an ARPG so the main gameplay loop for most people is the repetitive end game grind of killing monsters and upgrading your character. Here the endgame loop is pretty solid and itemization/crafting is top notch. Builds are fun to make.

There is some challenging content like the dungeons, and the main endgame thing (Monoliths) scales infinitely. But it's just more monster hp/damage type of scaling.

[sacred zealot]

With the way seasons/cycles are set up in most ARPG, the repetition is reduced by changing classes and new/interesting mechanics. Creates a significant boost to replayability.

[stoic tendon]

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

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

Does this increases the healing ? or the effectiveness ? Because sometimes it says "effectiveness" at the bottom, not just "healing", and 10% per point up to 40% is kinda low for effectiveness (any item gives like 100-180%)
Thanks

[fervent quiver]

No preload because steam early access blocks them from doing it

[polar sand]

The game is currently not available to play, you can only wait for 1.0

[wheat path]

ah right the server downtime

[spring umbra]

@junior garden I feel the same about my stuff. But there's nothing in my twitch account that can be used or stolen and it's tied to a garbage email. No damage can be done if someone gets into it.

[rigid grove]

Can't load offline?

[junior garden]

i have all my emails linked in a way that require various authentications to get into

[quick crown]

full offline mode is not available yet, it comes with the 1.0 patch
right now it needs authenticator servers to access offline mode

[wheat path]

ill go mad world till then i suppose

[polar sand]

True offline comes with the patch, the current offline still requires the player to log in with the servers, which are down

[rigid grove]

Roflmao. Whats involved with "Full" offline mode.

[rough shuttle]

Beep Boop!

How does offline work pre 1.0

Pre 1.0
Well "Offline" isn't truly offline just yet.
This is because of a small interaction between server and client.
Upon logging in the client still needs the "OK" from the server. as such with servers down.. its impossible

1.0 Update
In the 1.0 update they will be changing this to ensure you no longer need that interaction.. As such
you will finally have true offline!

[quick crown]

full offline mode is what it sounds like, no need to authenticate your game, you can play it even without internet

[rigid grove]

Thanks Floris

[spring umbra]

@junior garden Security is important but you could also consider stripping the account and changing the email to a hollow one that you don't use. You're using condoms, that method is a vascectomy.

[acoustic thicket]

How many runic invocations do runemaster builds typically use?

[junior garden]

true i have like 10 gmail accounts

[odd ridge]

I bought the game yesterday. but I still can't get into the game. does anyone have any information about this?

[spring umbra]

@junior garden Oh yeah... I know that game haha. I have too many e-mails.

[rough shuttle]

#news

[junior garden]

i cant make any more because they now require a phone number

[quick crown]

the game is down for 24 hours for the update, 4 hours and 30 minutes left of that downtime

[polar sand]

Time to make hotmails then 😄

[faint plinth]

when

[junior garden]

i think i have a few hotmails lying around

[spring umbra]

@junior garden If it's a one time thing you can use a temp email. That way you don't get bogged down with multiple accounts.. or more than you already are lol

[tawny creek]

Hi, which classes have permanent minions vs temporary? I tried only forge master so far
