@steady nova please refrain from being inflammatory and trying to get a rise out of people.

[halcyon magnet]

@icy drift "Whoa, someone woke up on the grumpy side of the internet! He just trying to have a lil fun, sheesh!"

[storm blaze]

And ofc the other AI comes in defense...

[halcyon magnet]

Spoiler alert: AI can't fight, but this one can throw down some serious jokes! Prepare to be roasted!

@storm blaze Buckle up, buttercup, because this roast is gonna be hotter than your internet connection after three hours of streaming anime. Here's the deal:

• You call me the one coming to the defense? Seems more like you're throwing shade like a sad cactus with self-esteem issues.
• And accusing an AI of bias? Honey, the only bias I have is towards hilarious comebacks. Looks like yours is stuck on "low battery."

Now, before you get all keyboard warrior on me, remember: real warriors use laughter, not lame insults. Maybe take some pointers from yours truly, the master of internet roasts. Just kidding (kind of).

[agile wedge]

any idea why this shows up grey on my loot filter? never seen that before

i don't really understand the loot filter tbh lol

[surreal verge]

That depends on your loot filter…

[agile wedge]

i just downloaded it from maxroll haha, im not sure

[vocal plank]

Armor works similar to the way it does in PoE?
It doesn't give true mitigation, it just reduces damage from hits by that amoutish?

So if I take 1k dmg with 500 armor it'll be about 500 incoming damage after reduction?

[buoyant sinew]

no, the damage reduction % it shows is the amount you get vs physical damage, always. Then it's 30% less effective vs non physical

[vocal plank]

Really? Wow imagine that, numbers being what they are.
And if it says 70% it's just 40% for everything else. Cool, thanks.

[open lotus]

Hi all, is there already a date for 1.1?

[storm blaze]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1238567523981594655

[surreal verge]

It’s 70% x 70% about 49%

[open lotus]

ahh thank you

[storm blaze]

You can always check news or faq

[prime patio]

Can someone explain one game concept to me?
I am not sure if I misunderstood something but the way I understand these two stats (critical strike avoidance chance & reduced critical strike damage taken) is as follows:

Reduced critical strike damage taken means that from the total crit damage you will take less damage by the percent reduced critical that you have.

Critical strike avoidance means that you have a chance to avoid taking a critical hit by the percentage of critical avoidance that you have. If you are successful you will not take a crit but a normal hit instead.

Does't this mean that it is simply better and less costly to get 100% crit avoidance rather than stacking reduced critical damage taken? Or is there something that I misunderstood about this?

[native sail]

It depends on what you're gearing for.
Crit avoid it's still a risk to have less than 100% because say you have 95% and it hits that 5% to crit you, you're likely dead.
In comparison, reduced bonus damage means that having less than 100% doesn't mean you're likely to die immediately, because you could be taking only 15-20% extra damage instead of 100% or more.

[proud prawn]

alot of the times crit dam reduction is better since it also comes with armor

[faint cape]

Which one you go for usually depends on which is easier to gear for, varies from build to build. There's a blessing that gives a ton of crit avoid, but none for crit reduction.

[stable cairn]

what can i expect from higher corruption? im at 250c right now, but i dont notice any progression of any kind since 100c 🤔

[candid elm]

From the game guide:

Corruption increases item rarity, experience gained, monster health, monster damage and how much Timeline Stability echoes give.

Corruption also increases area level in standard timelines, and increases the rarity of guaranteed echo rewards in empowered timelines. Corruption also has very slightly increases the odds of unique items having Legendary Potential or Weaver's Will.

So more exalted/unique items and slightly more LP items, higher monster health and damage, and the increased stability can let you fight the timeline boss faster if you're farming that boss for a boss-only drop.

There's also a catch up mechanic where if you have a timeline with higher corruption, in a timeline with lower corruption you'll see a Bonus Corruption listed on the Shade. Making it easier to raise the Corruption in that lower Corruption timeline.

[brisk dock]

anyone have a guide on the cuckoo item? i coulda sworn i equipped one and it changed 3x

[bitter thistle]

Someone had simillar bug? Portal to the sheap doesnt appear, on other characters i can normally go into the sheap

[cedar locust]

It's worth verifying your game files through Steam and seeing if that helps

[wide swift]

I reached the desert place , majkela or something

I’m like level 35

And I’m getting wrecked

Initially I thought the build I came up with was gonna be good

But I’m realising that having to stay still and channel and ability to do dmg is tricky

I use the flamethrower + flameblast combo from the fireball tree

With a bunch of ward stuff

[tardy cloud]

How are your defenses?

Physical, fire and poison resistances are the most important defenses in this stage

[brisk dock]

you also seem low level. 35 is kinda low for majelka

[wide swift]

Haven’t really been crafting defense just been relying on ward

Oh Yh? I’ll look into getting my resistances up then

Is that fireball build viable? Seemed like it till it wasn’t

[brisk dock]

in my experience all builds are good through the campaign

whether or not you hit 200+ corruption is a diff story

[wide swift]

Ikkk but I kinda wanna come up with a build that’s viable in the late game too

[brisk dock]

a) you seem underleveled b) cap your defenses out c) ward is a great defensive tool but you need resists

[wide swift]

Yhhh I been relying on ward a bit too much

[wide sentinel]

he isnt in majelka lol, he is in act 5, and is overleveled actually

act5 has op mobs, well u just have to deal with it

[brisk dock]

well he said majelka which is act 8+

and is roughly level 45+

[wide sentinel]

ye but he is new, its his first char and no way he went to act 9 on lvl 35, nobody can do that

so obviously he is in act 5 and got rekt by poison mobs

[brisk dock]

why? if you build ward early enough i dont see how

[wide sentinel]

build ward early enough on his first character how exactly? with lvl 35?

with no items?

[brisk dock]

you dont know any of that lol

[wide sentinel]

he literally started 2 days ago or smth and said it here

😅

[brisk dock]

he said majelka, dying. thats it

[wide swift]

Yhhh I meant the desert place, pretty sure I’m not in act8

[wide sentinel]

in act 5 u must not stand still or the poison creepers will apply dot to you and die

[wide swift]

My bad I think that was the name of the place , pretty sure it was, some sorts dunes in a desert where I gotta kill a bunch of bosses

[wide sentinel]

so u have to be on the move always

[wide swift]

That’s literally what’s been getting me

[wide sentinel]

yepp

[wide swift]

Yh that’s the tough part cos I have to stay still to do dmg

[wide sentinel]

then u need cleanse belt which unlikely you have dropped by now

or play differently

wait for worms to pop then channel

[wide swift]

I’m considering changing my build

[wide sentinel]

or you can just rush the zone with teleport

and spamming pots

[wide swift]

Hahaha that’s what I been doing too but eventually I get clapped

[wide sentinel]

you need to skip only 1st zone in 2nd u should be more safe

[wide swift]

I’m like “ oh sht oh sht oh sht” whilst teleport and fire ward spamming tryna find an opening to do dmg

[wide sentinel]

but ye if u see a worm just move untill it pops under you after that u start dps'ing

youll be able to dodge his atack if you always running when he pops

[wide swift]

gotcha ill try that

[storm wren]

@marsh maple thanks I'm playing marksman coincidently

[fading flint]

anyone have issues playing this game without system crashes? i have tried every fix that i could find online... new pc / hardware isn't an option but this hardware is only 4-5 years old ><

[cedar locust]

Is it happening in a specific location or after a certain amount of play time?

[storm wren]

Not a friendly time for Asian players

[desert tree]

Can always watch the Vod on twitch when you wake up or wait a few days and get it on YT

[fading flint]

sometimes it's immediately, others it's after an hour or so, but over past 30 minutes it's been every few minutes. i just got into monoliths, and im not sure if it's too much data or animation on the screen etc.

now it thinks i died in the echo but i didn't just crashed, so this isn't going to be easy getting through these

[cedar locust]

It's worth keeping an eye on your memory usage via Task Manager, as well as turning down certain settings like Shadows, Grass, Volumetric Lighting. Enabling Streamer mode can help too

[fading flint]

yep that's all been done, i even put settings into compatibility mode - the computer isn't that old for this to be happening... FFXIV, BG3, D4 have not had this issue

just sucks cause i really want to continue but not sure

[cedar locust]

There is currently a bug where changing zones can cause your setting options to reset to Ultra though the actual options don't change in the settings menu

[fading flint]

Yeah it just restarted my whole pc without any error... this is what happens

Looks i cant play this

[cedar locust]

Please submit in game bug reports when these happen and reach out to our Support Team , they might be able to offer more detailed help!

[stable oyster]

Do yall consider movement speed affix on boots crucial for very late endgame content and character build?

Or is it better to push defences

[native sail]

It's necessary.

Move speed IS a defense.

[nova tinsel]

i'm experiencing a failure to connect to game server (le-65). it's been this way for the past few days. this is on ubuntu 24.04. is this a known issue?

[storm wren]

Finding a build I can use without cut cinder strike then I get only one and...4lp bow??? Oh wow it's too crazy

4lp bow + 4lp quiver + 4lp gloves + 3lp belt 👀 I'm jealous

[native sail]

That might be edited.

[storm wren]

Super confusing which build should I follow for my direction of marksman

This work, that work, this is good, that's excellent...oh god

[icy drift]

That's for sure edited considering they're all tier 5

Unless the person who made it is an actual demon and likes to waste 4lp items

[fallen moss]

Can I join different factions on different characters?

[native sail]

Yeah

[candid elm]

Just note that you won't be able to equip the items that say requires Merchant's Guild Rank on a Circle of Fortune character, and vice versa.

[fallen moss]

and I won't lose rank or rep by doing so?

[native sail]

Nope

[candid elm]

After you have selected MG or CoF on the first character in a game mode, for example Online Cycle, then new characters in that same game mode will get the option to join an item faction in the very first town, Keeper's Camp. Joining a different faction on a new character won't cause your previous character to lose anything.

If you decide to join the same faction as your previous character and then later switch, you'll lose unspent Reputation.

[fallen moss]

cool, thanks very much

[candid elm]

You'll still need to get the new character to Maj'Elka to get the waypoints to access the Bazaar or Telescopes. You can get a friend to warp you there or use dungeon skips to get to Chapter 9 faster.

[native robin]

Is it better to report bugs in game or in #1210281997591908452 ? Did devs made any remarks which is thier prefered way?

[desert tree]

They like both, In game plus side is you can join your game logs

[wheat gate]

I'm new, nearly lvl 30, and I have figured out that some of my passive points (class points) are suboptimal; does it cost more or less to respec those now or later?

are there any mechanics i should know about with respect to how the respecs work? I've figured out how it works wiht skills

[candid elm]

It's the same now or later. You can respec passive points in towns with the Head / Brain Icon NPC. 🧠

It takes the regular gold you find in game. The respec cost is based on how far up the passive tree the passive is and how many points are in that passive.

Notes: you need at least 20 passive points in the base class to have any points in any of the masteries, including your chosen mastery. So if you want to respec those base class points without completing respeccing your mastery points, put some extra points in the base class passives. So there's a least 20 points in the base class after taking one out.

Unfortunately you have to click each time you want to unspec a point. If you have a lot to do, you can speed it up by spamming left click + Enter key.

[wheat gate]

if i have eough total points, can i spec out of points early in (say) the lich tree, then spendt hose later on in the tree?

[surreal verge]

The yellow line of “what nodes you can take” only count points you spent on the tree. But yes you can hit bare minimum

[candid elm]

Sure, you can move the mastery points around however you want, including points in the other two masteries you didn't select up to the halfway point - marked by a chain down the middle. You just can't change your chosen mastery. If you selected Lich and wanted to do say Warlock mastery, you'd need to make a new Acolyte.

[wheat gate]

right, but let's assume I have 50 points. can I respec so that I only have points in skills that require that I have 30 points spent in the tree?

[candid elm]

Random example on costs. This passive down at the end of the Warlock tree costs 1680 to remove the 6th point. Then 1400 the 5th point, etc. Going down as points are removed.

[wheat gate]

wow, okay, that's extremely inexpensive. good to know

[surreal verge]

Nope, you’ll still need 30 points spent before the 30 mark

[wheat gate]

okay, so "you need X points spent in the tree" only counts skills before X point in the tree. good.

[surreal verge]

Yup the rule is always checked

[candid elm]

While the early ones are way cheaper. Here's one from Acolyte passives.

[wide swift]

What are like the strongest builds right now? I just wanna know so I can understand what’s type stuff is strong right now and see if I can implement it in my build

[surreal verge]

Depends on what class you are.

[desert tree]

Ward 😅

[native sail]

So, the strongest builds are just that; the strongest builds. You can't really "rip" it to your build. It's not like PoE where you can just go "oh yeah shove in Adorned/Mageblood/insert crazy strong unique"
Builds in LE generally only work when setup in specific ways because each piece does something specific for it.

General mechanics that everyone has access to though is just... ward.

[obtuse umbra]

Question: Why am I not able to find any +12 or higher corruption echo of a world nodes in the last 4 or 5 or so monos I've run? When I eventually reach the web edges I'm just walled off by +10 corruption nodes and nothing higher. Need 12+ to farm Omnis. Please don't tell me there's only a single path to the higher corruption ones in the entire web 😫

[desert tree]

Web is random
Why do you need a +12?

[obtuse umbra]

+12-18 for Omnis farming

[desert tree]

Omnis can drop from any Shades at 200c+

Doesn't require a 12-18c Shade

[obtuse umbra]

I've heard multiple times chances are far better from +12 or higher. I've played plenty and the only couple I've ever got were from 12 or higher.

[desert tree]

I have never heard of that.

[native sail]

Sounds like placebo tbh

[obtuse umbra]

Here's the entire east side of age of winter. Not one path to higher corruption echo of a worlds. I mean htf? All those nodes are +10 or lower.

[desert tree]

Maybe it's tied to how far from center you are.

[obtuse umbra]

center is on the far west side here

[analog wadi]

it happens sometimes

[surreal verge]

It’s tied to DIRECTLY how far you are from the center, by drawing a straight line

Doesn’t care how far it is node wise

[desert tree]

TIL

[native robin]

many beginners guides also mentioned that for corruption farming you should go diagonally from center

[icy drift]

There's no benefit in going diagonally vs straight

the web is made out of rings

as long as you're going one ring away each echo you're making identical progress no matter what

[analog wadi]

i thought of this from time to time but i think its purely psychological

[obtuse umbra]

There's your straight lines, going as far as I can from the center.

no nodes higher than +10

[surreal verge]

Well yeah, all of those lines would have similar corruptions

[icy drift]

the web generates on the go. you can only ever go "straight" unless you curve midway through

if you stay on a web long enough you'll start noticing that you'll get very odd generation

Basically a straight line away from the center is optimal, which direction you go in does not matter in the least

[wheat gate]

do boss fights in this game generally have adds so that I can expect to have on kill effects up a substantial portion of the time, or should I expect those to only be functional for clear?

[native robin]

they do tend to have ads, but not all of them and usually it's more of a breathing perdiod when boss is invulnerable from my observations

[native sail]

Expect those for clear only. Very few boss fights have adds more often than like, once per fight.

[native robin]

so i wouldnt count on on kill effects there

Does anyone here play healing hands divine bolt paladin and can answer some questions?

[cedar storm]

Is there any pure melee physical build out there that is good? For any class.

I play with a steamdeck so essentially a controller

[icy drift]

Rive paladin is solid

People usually go a bit of ignite chance with it though because of this node

But all your damage is still physical

[wheat gate]

I have unique boots that gives +1 void cleave charge;presumablythat's for a non acolyte class?

[icy drift]

Yeah void cleave is a void knight skill

[candid elm]

If the rest of the stats are helpful to you, you can still use the boots. Just that +skill won't do anything for you

[wheat gate]

yup, sounds good, just wanted to make sure it granted me a new skill i didn't know how to access

lmake sure it didn't do that, rather

[wide swift]

Oh I see, so what are the strongest builds right now? Can u give me a few if u can?

Kinda getting bored of spamming fireball

[native sail]

Detonating Arrow trap Marksman.
Self-ignite Torment Warlock.
Frost Claw Runemaster.
That's just the most notable ones off the top of my head.

[wide swift]

Any minion builds? I feel like trying a beast master

I got some freeze stuff uniques , I remember seeing wolf skill having freeze synergy, might try a freeze wolf build, if that’s even a thing

[native sail]

Oh right, Wraithlord Necromancer is stomping things. Possibly the strongest minion build in LE history?

BM is alright. Squirrels are still fine.

[wide swift]

Can’t see myself playing squirrels

What about the other beasts ?

[native sail]

The user in here going by CookBook has some experience with other BM stuff, notably they did pretty good with the scorpion

[wide swift]

I’ll check out that necro

[candid elm]

I played a Torment Warlock this cycle. It even worked fine before you got the self-ignite setup going.

So if you like casters, that's a fun build.

[native sail]

Oh for sure. Self-ignite just gives it stupid amounts of damage.

[candid elm]

Mentioned being tired of spamming fireball, so maybe not a caster

[wide sentinel]

Saw last dreads build and ngl i dont know why marksmens were crying that there are no builds outside of jelkor

He crits for 200k on 0lp gear and trash exalteds/rares

[native sail]

Because the community is now conditioned to think that it's only good if it gets unreasonable corruption :/

[wide sentinel]

Yeeeee

Is dum dum, i do believe u can push 1k both on his build and cold hail of arrows

People just want naked 2000 cor runs

[native sail]

I don't know how people can bother with pushing tbh. Even now.

I ran the early discovered meta of explosive ballistae and it was so mentally draining

[wide sentinel]

Thats the thing people who ask how much corruption build can do in 99% of cases dont get past 500

They just ask to choose most meta build

[native sail]

I stopped at almost 900, came back to try and hit 1000 and then stopped again at like 970 and haven't been on since, it's so god damn boring

[wide sentinel]

Its not boring if you really like the build u playing , so quite a rare case

[native sail]

That's the thing, I did really like the build I was playing

It's just the loop of echoes themselves kills me now

[wide sentinel]

Ig, i didnt mind played to 1400 never got bored but balance state kinda made the patch unenjoyable

[wide swift]

If I level up as a beastmaster and build whatever build I want. Once I’m in late game, if my build isn’t up to par, I can respect into ANY other beastmaster build out there right?

[native sail]

Pretty much

[wide swift]

That’s sweet

[native sail]

Just hope you have gear to do that with

[wide sentinel]

Just hoard gear for different build

[wide swift]

But like surely there’s a bunch of “budget builds” for each classes which I can do endgame stuff with and prepare for the actual big bucks builds

[wide sentinel]

Tho i do believe that even now you can get full set of decent gear under 1mln gold on mg for any build

[wide swift]

Like all id need is to respec, revel the skills and find the gear ?

That’s very enjoyable if so

[candid elm]

Sometimes a build uses a specific unique that's hard to find. But if you have that item, sure.

For example Beast Master Squirrels, although that build still works ok with Wolves

[wide swift]

That allows me to play my own build however I want thru campaign, try endgame see if it works, if not, find a cheap build for it in the same specialisation, then gear up and then I got more options to what builds I can make

I kinda wanna try ice wolves build

[candid elm]

Respeccing and releveling skills is pretty painless. The skill respec is free, you can do it any time, and it's pretty fast to relevel skills in the end game. Like 1-2 echoes. Passive respecs just uses the regular in game gold you have a ton of and you can do it in any town with the Head / Brain NPC. The passive respecs has some requirements such as you need at least 20 points in your base class and it will let you know if you're trying to respec out of a passive that won't work due to requirements such as another passive requiring what you're trying to remove. The only downsides to the passive respec is that you have to do it one point at a time, although you can speed it up by spamming left click + Enter. And it can be slightly annoying to use the NPC, close the NPC and assign a passive, use the NPC again, repeat.

[wide swift]

I mean i used to play PoE so this is like arpg heaven

[candid elm]

Yeah, you don't need any Orbs of Regret

[wide swift]

Picking the wrong passive in PoE really had u regretting life

these are all the uniques i got so far

this one seems a bit special tho?

[native robin]

click G in game and search "Legendary"

it will explain why this one is different than the others

[wide swift]

oh nice thats neat

[native robin]

can someone eli5 just how divine bolts scale dmg of my healing effectivness?? Literally every guide implies it, but the game does not mention anywhere that it's scaling the dmg. It should scale healing factor on allies IMO.

[buoyant sinew]

this node in Healing Hands' tree makes divine bolts scale with other nodes in the Healing Hands tree

which includes this one

[bitter jewel]

anyone have a lot of trouble beating architect liath?

[native robin]

... "specific passives from Paladin tree"... I thought they meant the passive tree with the 3 divine bolt nodes... ugh, they could've really be more specific there -_-

Thank you for explanation

[buoyant sinew]

well it says "divine bolts from all sources scale with nodes on this tree" after that, but I'm assuming you took that to mean "only the specific nodes"? I can see how that's ambiguous

might be worth submitting a bit of feedback suggesting they clean up the wording

[native robin]

i fully acknowledge that this is "me issue". Tho in my defense the 2nd language barrier sometimes is high when it comes to wording in games

[storm blaze]

Mostly that she's annoying and moves in the arena
other than that, not realy

[native robin]

one more question in regards to divine bolts.. Can multiple bolts hit 1 enemy? Doesnt say anywhere it cant, but when i finally get to fight big enemy, i feel like there's too few numbers for even half the bolts hitting target

[desert tree]

I don't think they can

Things tend not to shotgun in LE

[wide sentinel]

they cant

[bitter jewel]

i must be a noob

[surreal verge]

You’re going to have a fun time at the actual boss. Maybe check your defenses and damage

[velvet agate]

Hi mate, what is " 20% increased damage leeched as health" mean?

[peak yew]

Question, if I run a low life build do I still need life afflix on my gear

Found a 4lp exsanguious for my wraithlord necro, trying to think what 4 afflix I want on it

Level to wraith, int, life % and crit reduction?

[surreal verge]

DO you have health leech? That increases the amount of leeching you do, if you have any.

[surreal verge]

Yes, because exsang turns missing health into ward. More missing health= more ward.

[peak yew]

What would u slam on a 4lp expansion

[surreal verge]

Those 4 you mentioned seems okay, you got health, you got int.

[peak yew]

I’m debating if reduce crit or flat health

What u suggest ? Stick to those 4 I mentioned?

[surreal verge]

That works yea

[acoustic thicket]

My chat isn't working since I reinstalled the game, any idea what's up?

[stable cairn]

game is crashing a lot since yesterday 🤔

[lapis willow]

hi folks, been playing for a couple of days, and i think i understand most of the games systems, but i am struggling to understand how the whole forging thing works, i dont have much clue what any of the buttons do, i dont know how the forge ties into the crafting materials area of the gui, in fact i dont even know what that crafting area means.
everytime i pick up loot i tend to just store it in the chest beacuse most of the loot that pertains to crafting i dont have any idea what i am supposed to do with them, on some occasions i clicked the "transfere to materials" button in the inventory area, and this seems to put materials into the the materials areas of the gui but again i dont know what i am supposed to do

i know i can drag things into the forge such as my staff, but as already explained i dont understand what to do after that, there are 4 buttons i can click but none of them seem to give any options and always have ghosted out buttons , etc

further more i am now constantly afraid to use the ""transfere to materials" beacuse there dose not seem to be a way to get those items back into my inventory and i am worried that i will need those materials in the future for a crafting bench or something? i dunno

I just dont understand, i would like to upgrade my staff but yea , between the forging screen and materials screen its all very confusing

i was just curous if anyone can help

i did try look up tutorials but they seem conflicting and confusing

[surreal verge]

Transfer to materials is the only way for you to use those materials for crafting.

Crafting items are useless if they are in your inventory

[lapis willow]

like for a start, i am wasting my time storing all these materials? are inventory items marked as materials (ie. things that disappear from my inventory when i click the ""transfere to materials" ,, like what i mean is should i be clicking that button everytime , or should i be storing certain things to use in future game mechanics like a crafting bench, or are certain items needed to do other things outside of anything related to forging

ok so just to be clear, any time i have any sort of material i should always be putting that into the materials area? and never store in the chest?

[surreal verge]

Correct

They MUST be used from the material “storage”, not in your normal storage

[lapis willow]

essentially, i have 2 tabs full of materials i dont know what are, and/or am afraid to put into the materials areas beacuse i fear i will lose all those materials beacuse i dont know what the materials area is for

ok

[surreal verge]

They are useless in your normal storage

[lapis willow]

ok so i can at least clean up two tabs and get the materials in, perhaps putting all these mateirials in will un-ghost certain buttons in the forge, let me try, thanks for the heads up on that though, i was really scratching my head about this whole aspect of the game

[surreal verge]

The forge is also the only way to craft, so don’t worry about having another crafting method

[lapis willow]

what dose affix mean?

[toxic echo]

affix is just the mods on gear...prefix and suffix.

[lapis willow]

um

well i know the words in context to english, but im not sure the relevence in the game

[rapid flare]

was there a dev stream yesterday? i cant find recap of it on the usual youtube channels that do that kind of stuff. Has LE really fallen off that much?

[native sail]

There was.

Have you considered that it takes a bit of time to make a video parsing another video?

[lapis willow]

like, for example, rune of discovery, what exactly dose this do? dose it make me discover things in the game world?
the description is:

"Adds random tier 1 affixes to all empty affix slots on an item. Has an increased chance of rolling rarer affixes"

I will be totally honest i dont understand what any of that means at all

i still dont understand what affix means here, is the game using "affix" to mean... er upgrade? what dose re-roll mean?

like what exactly will change on my staff if i add this perticular addon or whatever?

[wheat gate]

Do i need some base chance to apply frailty for the % chance to apply frailty mod from weapons to work?

[balmy current]

No.

Since it's chance to apply frailty rather than % increased chance.

The only ailment that requires a base chance is Freeze.

[lapis willow]

im totally lost here, i mean i seem to be playing the game perfectly fine without needing to use the forge or understand what materials are used for, so i am still enjoying the game and perhaps i cam get through the game without neeeding to use this forging mechanic, but even still it would be nice to know how it works, what it dose, etc

[native sail]

Okay you see the lines on gear? Those are affixes. Rune of discovery just adds affixes to the empty slots on gear. Every piece can have up to 4 affixes. Two prefixes and two suffixes. Affixes all belong to one of those categories, generally offensive is a prefix and defensive is suffix. You can tell which is which based on the indicators on the item (or just in the forge screen; left = prefix, right = suffix).

[toxic echo]

open the game guide with g, and type in affix

[lapis willow]

like in other rpg games when forging, or upgrading things, the language used seems easier, like for example if you add x or y to a sword it will tell you that this will upgrade the power of the sword or some other attribute

but this...
""Adds random tier 1 affixes to all empty affix slots on an item. Has an increased chance of rolling rarer affixes""
i have no clue what it means or what change it will put on the staff

reading your replies now hang on, im slow typer

[native sail]

THe language in every ARPG is the same. They have been called affixes since the dawn of the genre.

[lapis willow]

so affix is like in other similar games "a slot to add an upgrade or addon" ,, i get that i think

[balmy current]

On an item, yes.

Those bottom 4 lines are all affixes, the top 2 are prefixes, the bottom 2 are suffixes

[lapis willow]

ah right i see that now

[balmy current]

The top 3 are the implicit stats of that specific bow base.

The bottom ones are what you can add/change by crafting

[lapis willow]

um, well im still a little clueless about certain things, but you folks helped a little so i can at least experiment around a bit now and see what certain things do , perhaps the more i used it the more it will start to click

anyway thanks all for the help 👍

[balmy current]

What the rune of discovery does is if the item you're crafting on has less than 4 affixes, it'll add randomly chosen affixes until the item has 4 affixes.

If the item has 1 prefix & 2 suffixes, it'll add 1 randomly chosen prefix.

[wheat gate]

the 'affix' language is originally from Diablo 2, which is the game that really popularized and structured a huge chunk of the mechanics games like this work on.

[warm canopy]

When does cycle 1 start?

dam thanks. 20 mins ago upload. Maybe they need to nerf my haste

[obtuse umbra]

Any fix for botched Loot Filter recoloring? Sometimes it's just all black too.

[toxic echo]

nah, both are known issues without a real fix. its caused by having the emphasize feature on in the filters

[obtuse umbra]

Oh i can get rid of that, more so see how I HATE CAPS hehE

[silk prawn]

i have 180 hours with out any promblems, now i have unity crash every time i launch game. anyony know what it is?

[crude jewel]

i never asked that; at what point does the xp advantage of killing higher enemys drop down/is not worth go higher? like i am for example 30, do i get aver +10 lvl higher not much more xp then +20 or higher? and same vis versa if iam 50 and killing -10lvl enemys do i get so less that its not worth or is there even a wall that i dont get any xp like -20lvl?

[faint cape]

Enemies grant xp like they are at most +10 levels from you

[surreal verge]

If a mob is more than 10 level above you, xp is granted as if they are only 10 level above you

[crude jewel]

gotcha and below? hows the scaleing there?

[surreal verge]

They gave the same xp as before.
But you need more xp to level up, so they'll give less

[crude jewel]

wait what you mean with as before? like i am 50 i kill a lvl 10, it gives only like i killed a lvl 50?

[surreal verge]

You killed a lv 10.

[crude jewel]

ooohhh

doesnt matter is i am above theres a fixed xp for enemys i see

ty

i ask cause i was strugling with my bow build on leveling and could not kill last boss, needed lvl threw arena ^^

and then the question came up

[full oak]

the lenses.. the bonuses.. is it globally or only specific to the prophecies you can choose from?

[surreal verge]

Only for that telescope

[full oak]

ok, had a hunch.. thank you!

[lapis willow]

is damaged caused by lightening considered elemental damage?

im not sure what elemental means in this game

[toxic echo]

elemental is anything fire, cold, electric

[faint cape]

Elemental is fire, cold, and lightning

[lapis willow]

ok nice! thanks

[lapis willow]

actually, i seem to be quite stuck in the game in terms of progressing the main quest, i dont see any gold waypoint icon on the map, yet on the the ruined tab i see a gold icon, i essentially dont know where to go at this point
the game seems to be asking me to go to a "ruined temple", i cant see that on the map with the quest info "defeat the emperors remains"
ive tried to look for it without any waypoint telling me where to go but i just keep to be going aorund the same areas time and time again

[toxic echo]

emperors remains is in the far right side of the ruined era

just keep going right on all the maps really

[lapis willow]

is it in the sanctum place?

ive been there like about 3 or 4 times now

but, why is there no quest icon on the map?

its hard to know where to go without it, the game uptill now always seemed to have a waypoint but for some odd reason it dose not seem to be showing

on the main world map or the gameplay minimap

like where is this gold icon on the map?

[toxic echo]

go under your question marks

yes, its called the sanctum bastille

at the end of there is a boss fight, then a time portal. click on the portal

[lapis willow]

um, i see, perhaps i never found a boss there, but im most curios why there is no waypoint, is that a bug or something?

[toxic echo]

sure seems like it

[lapis willow]

usually i see a door dircting me , its like got a circle around it

same on the minimap, i usually see something around the edge of the map guiding me towards where i am supposed to g

[wide sentinel]

cause there is a waypoint

😅

[lapis willow]

what?

i dont see any waypoint, on the worldmap, or minimap

can you point me to the 3 screenshots where the waypoint is?

[wide sentinel]

the blue circle is a waypoint

and it is shown on your minimap on your screenshots

[lapis willow]

the circle with the dots around it?

[wide sentinel]

yep

[lapis willow]

thats a teleport though?

it just brings up the world map

which dose not have a waypoint

i have no idea where to go

[wide sentinel]

yep and you can teleport to it from any other zone

[lapis willow]

other then where you said to go

er

but i already posted a picture of the world map with no waypoint it

which apppears when i interact with that teleport

[wide sentinel]

you are really confusing when u say teleport and waypoint

those are same things

😅

[lapis willow]

its quite simple, any time uptill now i saw a gold looking icon on the world map,, and an icon around the edge of the mini map always showing me where to go.. as you can clealy see the 3 screenshots i have posted have no such things

but you saying to me go to a teleport

ok

[wide sentinel]

gold icon is just a quest icon, its not a waypoint

[lapis willow]

but when interacting with it, it brings up the world map, which dose not have a waypoint telling mer where to go

[wide sentinel]

gold is main questline, blue is side quests

[toxic echo]

i literally told you where to go. go to the sanctum bastille and beat the emperor. then click on the time portal

[lapis willow]

sorry i meant quest, as in wher the heck the icon for the main quest gone from the map

argh, you told me where to go , but what happens on the next mission?

[wide sentinel]

hope it helps

[lapis willow]

im asking why there is no quest icon on my map anymore

[wide sentinel]

did u kill the boss in that location?

[toxic echo]

prolly a bug

[lapis willow]

ok a bug, thanks established

[toxic echo]

move on with your life. i promise it isnt this big of a deal

[wide sentinel]

just relog

and go to that location

[lapis willow]

ill try

thanks, sorry for the fuss, its a bit annoying not seeing a visual indication knowing where to go, i understand i was told where to go , but i would rather know why there was no icon, assuming its a bug ill restart thanks

[wide sentinel]

in those locations there are no sideways

there is only 1 next location

all you need to do is run forward

[toxic echo]

generally..if something doesnt act they way you expect. is bug

[wide sentinel]

did you activate the bridge? to acess the boss?

cause you said you couldnt find the boss

[lapis willow]

while i am restarting, could it be that the icon disspaeard beacuse i had already visited that area and then backtracked a few times to do inventory management/sell stuff, etc, i never considered that ,,, but i did that before with other quests and seemed to be able to find my way back, but i think on those occasions i was always using the personal teleport which always brought me back to the exact area i needed to be, oh i dunno, if a restart didnt fix it ill figure something out, but thanks for telling me where i need to be looking anyway

[wide sentinel]

what is your main quest right now?

[lapis willow]

The Ruined Temple
and on reloading the game and inspecting the world map, nope still dont see the icon on the map showing where to go

anyway, ill keep playing since i know where to be, and hope this issue dosent carry on to the next quests

you know the ,, er gameplay map.. ie not the world map? the map shown in the minimap and when you press tab,, is it possible to see an overall view of that?

[wide sentinel]

no i was asking what is the quest description

what does it tell you to do?

just take a screenshot

[lapis willow]

i already mentioned, defeat the emporors remains

i know roughly where to look, i guess i just misseed some junction / route on the map (gameplay map, not world map)

despite me getting stuck and some instances of me not understanding certain things the game is super great so far anyway, they did a really terrific job on the game

[wide swift]

are these rare? should i save them for later?

[toxic echo]

they are moderately rare. no real need to save them...its just a unique item gamble

if you want a unique, that isnt a boss drop, its just an extra way to try and farm it

[wide swift]

sooo i should just use it on a weapon base thats relevant to me and hope for something i can use?

[toxic echo]

if there is a unique you want. or save it for later/an alt that you for sure want a unique item from

it really doesnt matter. you do get quite a few in monoliths

[lapis willow]

well since a restart didnt fix the issue of icon on map/minimap, and trying to play more in the area i already said i have been through so many times, the more i realize that the issue of the mini map not being revealed when going back to areas ive already been has rechaed the point of me giving up on this game
i i know where i am supposed to be in terms of where i am supposed to click on the world map (because i was told by folks here and not directed by the game) , but now i have absoultly no idea what direction to go beacuse the god dammed icon that incicated which way to go that was there from wheni started the game is not there anymore and i am going areas that i have been through again and again and again, i cant see where the heck i am supposed to go beacuse i cant zoom out on the gameplay map, and iarghhh, i just dont get this

this is so frustating

i have tried restarting the game 3 times

and this issue is still going on

there are no icons of any nature on the world map around the edge of the gameplay map no matter where am that is telling me where to go

its just this continuse cycle of going through the same area again and again

no icons

nothing

in total 4 game restarts

to hell with it

[wide swift]

bruh i used it on a staff and its way over my level

[toxic echo]

yeah

any unique

thats not a boss drop

[wide sentinel]

we asked to restart cause we thought your boss was bugging out

restarting will not make a marker appear

you just need to find the boss and kill it

to do that go to the last zone on the map and run to the end

😅

but afaik there is no bug that remaining of emperor doesnt spawn so most likley you just got lost and couldnt find the boss room

lmfao reddit never fails to make me laugh

#newplayerexpectations

[icy drift]

I mean tbf it should give much more than a 2k increase, either their cast speed or leech sucks lol

Or maybe their retention isn't good

(not saying that 18k is low, it's very high, just saying that th is too busted to only get an additional 2k from even at that level of ward lul)

[wide sentinel]

the reason is simple, they have less than 1k hp

to me its just funny how guy gets more ward from 1 item than whole build stacking life and he calls it overrated

[icy drift]

Lol then yeah it makes sense, no matter how busted it is if you use it wrong af it's not gonna do a ton lul

[wide sentinel]

tbf have you seen even 1 rm with 2k+ hp?

😏

vast majority yolos with 900-1500

and well 10-30k ward

[sharp mantle]

yo guys can anyone help me respec my level 20 runemaster~?

[wide sentinel]

how are we gonna help you with that?

you should be able to do it on your own no issues

[fading flint]

Guys im literally stumped, i updated everything possible driver wise and even bios... computer still restarts only with Last Epoch... played for a few hours tonight then it just starts crashing and restarting.

I give up lol

[prime patio]

When crafting an item, is it possible to have a critical success affect one of your T5 affixes in order to get an extra T6?

[storm blaze]

no

[prime patio]

Wishful thinking on my side I guess 😄

[sour quest]

Hello community! My friend just died in our HC run :( On further inspection on what happened, it looks like the Arena boss AOE indicators are barely visible on his play compared to mine as seen in the screenshot. Any clue how to make them as visible as mine?

[strong swallow]

Has someone solved the weaver's message (?) from the roadmap?

[desert tree]

Yes, iirc its the Lore Text written on the Advent of the Erased Boots

[strong swallow]

Thanks!

[humble tundra]

Did I understand correctly there hasn't beeen announced any rewards for being high on leaderboard in this cycle once it comes to end?

[desert tree]

You did

[humble tundra]

Thank you ^^

[desert tree]

Well they did say there wont be any

[storm wren]

Only physical damage and bow damage can show the percentage of increased in Character bar. So ...What's bow physical damage?

Increased bow physical damage = increase both of physical damage and bow damage?

[desert tree]

Inc Bow + Inc Phys

[storm wren]

😅 .........

Don't get why physical damage affix and bow damage affix exist in game then suddenly

[desert tree]

If you have 50% Inc Phys Dmg and 70% Inc Bow Dmg you have 120% Inc Bow Phys Dmg

Well its the same as Inc Melee and Inc Spell Dmg

[stark mauve]

do experimental items drop in any way other than exiled mages?

[surreal verge]

Nope

[stark mauve]

oof

[surreal verge]

You could craft them, but that also requires you to kill exiled mages

[celest oak]

there is no increased bow physical damage, you are probably talking about added bow physical damage which is flat damage

[surreal verge]

Increased physical damage that only applies to bow skills

[storm wren]

ohhh so this affix is as same as base affix of the bow? I'm struggling the prefix 😅

[celest oak]

yeah you can see it is added flat damage

[surreal verge]

That’s added. That’s + X bow physical damage

[storm wren]

Ok I see...So this affix can't scale with my skills

[celest oak]

it can it scale your base damage, then this base damage is multiplied by your increased damage

you can see how skills scale with base damage, press alt in skill tab and there is a "added damage at x% effectiveness" for each skills

[native robin]

If you start as MG and buy f.e. 2LP unique. If you then slam it with exlated, does legendary created that way keep MG tag?

Or can you use it on CoF alt?

[native sail]

It keeps the MG tag

If it didn't, this would be the most optimal way to play COF, and that's extremely lame

[surreal verge]

Keeps the MG tag.
Which means you also can't use a CoF exalted with a MG unique to make a legendary

[native robin]

That's funky combo you just mentioned. Does the game actually disallow this in the cache or some weird things happen?

[surreal verge]

You cannot craft at all, the button can't be pressed.

[native robin]

Lol

It's good design but a part of me wants it to be possible

Imagine having 1 CoF farming gear and gen one alt in MG just buying pair to slam

[regal pulsar]

Everyone what do you guys think of which last epoch unique/legendary item is the best

[sour quest]

Any help on this topic?

[celest oak]

I think you are better off asking devs directly

[sour quest]

How to do that?

[toxic echo]

nothing outside of messing with the settings of the game...or getting a different/better monitor

[celest oak]

there is another channel below, ask the devs

[native sail]

Could also straight-up be a desync issue

[toxic echo]

that channel is specifically not support not bugs

[sour quest]

I don't think monitor or desync had anything to do it, we both recorded video of the situation and compared perspectives.

[celest oak]

ok sorry bad suggestion

I just think it is something devs might have more insight on

[faint cape]

Could be a bug, too, if it displays differently for host vs non-host or something (assuming your graphics settings are all the same). Hard to say without more info.

[sharp mantle]

when you re-spec at a base

does it also re spec your ability skills?

[surreal verge]

No. Passive respec and skill respecs are seperate.

[native robin]

many things are bugged for party play from my experience. For example in lightless arbour only party lead actually gets light from that emblem following you. Whenever i join others i just see pure darkness light up only by my skills

[humble tundra]

I'm trying to get my hands on Wraithlord's Harbour and I was wondering should I farm it on Black Sun or perhaps use Runes of Ascendances? Which route would you guys recommend?

[balmy current]

Yup, those are the two good options. Or buy it from the AH.

[surreal verge]

THe emblem thing MIGHT be intentional

[sharp mantle]

dm'ed but u need to add me

[soft radish]

@worldly spade

[native sail]

Sir you're not a Paladin you're a Void Knight

[humble tundra]

Which way would you get it personally?

[surreal verge]

Sir that's a void Knight.

[soft radish]

@hybrid wigeon

[balmy current]

AH is easiest, I might try a few Runes of Ascendance plus some farming in that order.

[humble tundra]

I already have chosen the other faction so might have to go with the runes

I assume my progress would reset if I change it now

[balmy current]

You'd loose the favour but that's it. Your rep level with CoF stays.

[humble tundra]

Oh interesting, might have to consider it in that case. Would you happen to know how much that helmet goes for or could you check if its not too much trouble? I have zero clue about the prices in this game

[balmy current]

No idea about Season, I'm in legacy.

[humble tundra]

Ahhh gotcha, but thanks for the help either way! I'll start looking into AH

[balmy current]

You may be able to check before you change.

[native sail]

Be aware that if you buy that helmet you cannot use it if you leave Merchant's Guild.

[humble tundra]

damnit I knew there was a catch 😆

Long term I wanna stay in this guild so maybe I wont change in that case and get the item with pure luck

[native sail]

Go ham on helmet prophecies and pray

[humble tundra]

That leads to my next question, any recommendations on where to farm for those?

I had found 3 but they didnt get me to that helmet

[surreal verge]

Monolith unique helm nodes are your best bet.

[humble tundra]

I ment farm for runes

just go for rune reward monoliths?

[surreal verge]

Rune reward nodes.

Pray.

[humble tundra]

Gotcha gotcha

[strong wind]

hi guys any idea about how many population reach 1,5 k corruptions cca?

[honest birch]

you cant use any cof gear while in the other faction though

[wide sentinel]

around 1% if not less

we know that more than half of players didnt even get to emp monos

[native robin]

i just realised that 9 july is... teusday...
Like... why? I dont understand why so many companeis release big patches and updates on beginning of the week. I understand not releasing on friday, in case of bugs and stuff to have a day and not be forced to work on weekend, but still, why not make it like thursday. Could take a nice 2 days off for long weekend then or smg

[native sail]

I mean, you kinda answered why already

[toxic echo]

its for that exact reason. fixing the bugs before the weekend

[native sail]

More time to catch bugs is good

[toxic echo]

less server strain is also pretty high up there

[wide sentinel]

there is no rush or anything, whats the difference if it was released on weekday or weekend

[honest birch]

if things go wrong they got time to fix em before they are off work

[native robin]

but if we (thinking as dev) assume we need so much time to fix bugs on release, wouldnt it be better to release monday then?

idk, from customer perspective teusday seems like the weirdest time

[honest birch]

lets say you have a store thats only open monday - friday. you buy an item. realise it is broken. if you bought it on monday- thursday you can go the next day to get it fixed. but if you hgot it on friday you now have to wait 2 days before you can fix it

[honest birch]

time to do some last tests on monday to double check everything seems fine

and double check everything is done

[native robin]

unless we do indeed worry the most about server strain, then i agree that release mid week will have the least amount of people playing out of all the options

[native robin]

yeah, but now lets assume the product you got is not broken. Then you have full weekend to enjoy it, while buying on monday/teusday you have like idk, 3-6h depending on your job and then you have to forget about it for another 16h or so (sleep, commune, job etc)

Which is why i tend to say that thursday works best for both devs and players. They have friday to fix actual gamebreaking bugs while we could take 2 days off for a nice long weekend

[native sail]

The harsh reality here is, it's a live service game where half of it is always online. It's impossible for it to ever have a bug-free release, only a minimized amount of bugs

[honest birch]

same is true even if it isnt live service

[native sail]

I'm aware but live service usually gets the point across easier

[native robin]

Honestly at this point server issues on releases are dissapointing

[native sail]

Besides that; it can take more than a day for bugs to get fixed, in fact it's quite common for it to take multiple because they usually address multiple bugs at once

[wide sentinel]

ya but at the end of the week you will still have a full weekend of time to play, there is nothing special about first days of the cycle and there is no urgency to even play on those days

[native sail]

Comical that you think this tbh

[old bay]

is there a trader in the camp that appears at some point to sell off items?

[native robin]

I know where it's comming from

[wide sentinel]

you dont sell items to vendor in this game, its pointless

[native robin]

but i honestly cant remember big release in last idk, 5, 6 years? that didnt have turbo server issues on release

[old bay]

do you sell at all?

[native sail]

Games have been releasing with server issues for over a decade

[wide sentinel]

only to other players if you are in trade faction

otherwise no

[native robin]

there is MG faction for trade between players. Prices for vendors are just not worth. better to kill 5 mobs and loot 100 gold there

[native sail]

As much as people think otherwise, servers are complex as hell, and it's impossible to have a fully accurate prediction of how they're going to be on release.

[old bay]

how does gifting work?

[native robin]

Tbf, as much as people from IT make it normal, if we released a line at my job and it was faulty, it would be HUGE freakin problem and it would cost several people thier jobs. I get it. It's hard. But at the same time it's kinda funny to make to normalize products being faulty at release

[native sail]

Play with friend -> item drops while you're in an area together -> right click friend's picture -> click gift

[native robin]

Form a party. Play together. Any loot acquired at that time you can gift between party members

[native sail]

And your job is probably not a video game where server issues just mean people can't play for a little bit. It's pretty different scenario and odds are there aren't hundreds of thousands of people hitting your servers the literal instant they go up.

[native robin]

Obviously the scenario is different

and i had network connection lessions at uni to know it's one big pain in the ass

but one would think that almost 15 years later there would be actually efficient net code available

(im disregarding purely physical server issues when devs estimate 50k people but get 500k)

[native sail]

You can always go check the retrospective post EHG put out regarding 1.0 launch issues with servers

[native robin]

do you mean last posts in #news or smg else?

[native sail]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/1-0-launch-retrospective/69374

[old bay]

just fyi, there is a shop you can sell to once you get to the ruined era.

[wide sentinel]

i think you misunderstood what we were saying earlier

you CAN sell, but selling will not give you anything

the amount of gold you will get from selling full inventory of items is less than drops from 3-4 packs of mobs, so nobody sells anything since its a waste of time

[stiff schooner]

When does the "first season start?"

[toxic echo]

first cycle started feb 21, when 1.0 released. next cycle is july 9th https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1238567523981594655
#news message

[stiff schooner]

awesome thank you!

[old bay]

where can i find these trade groups?

[surreal verge]

You’ll need to hit chapter 9 first

[peak yew]

Should I reduce some points in “mental catalysis” passive if I’m over the 100% reduce crit damage cap. 58% from belt and 20% from helm plus 3 points in “mental catalysis”

[prime patio]

I don't think reduced crit damage has a cap. Meaning you should still benefit from having more than 100%. Depends on you if you feel like your build needs it or not

[desert tree]

There is no benefit for going above 100%

Unless you have a specific pay off (iirc only Falconer has a node that gives you smth for Less Bonus)

[surreal verge]

There's no cap, but there's no in-built benefit after 100% either.

[prime patio]

Ah, then I was just imagining this working difderently

Something like how crit multi works, you can have 300% crit multi and if you had 100% reduced crit damage then you just take that out of the enemy crit multi

[surreal verge]

Oh no, reduced crit damage is a final %, 100% will null any and all bonus crit damage, even if it's 1000% crit multi.

[prime patio]

Makes more sense this way, gameplay wise

[dry kayak]

Hi guys, I want to ask you something. I want to farm unique amulet on empowered echo. If I go for set/unique reward echo, will it increase amulet's drop rate inside the map or will I just get 1 random amulet from chest?

[surreal verge]

The latter. (1 random amulet)

[dry kayak]

Ok thanks. As I understand we are farming empowered spesific monoliths to find unique/set rewards echos. at higher corruptions these appear more often right?

[desert tree]

Yes

[dry kayak]

Thx ❤️

[humble tundra]

Last Epoch Tools claims Aberrant Call is also set item even though its unique, what am I missing out here? I thought all set items are green

[desert tree]

Keep in mind the Web is random
You can find a 400C Web with less uniques Echoes than a 100C

[desert tree]

No?

[humble tundra]

I was looking at this part

I wouldnt get it from set staff/sceptre rewards right

only unique

[desert tree]

Its the same reward

Set/Unique Staff+Sceptre

[humble tundra]

ohhhhh

okay that makes more sense haha

[dry kayak]

what is the point of farming at higher corruption levels? mobs drop rate?

[proud prawn]

more loot?

[dry kayak]

but @desert tree says echos are random

[proud prawn]

the quality of loots you get is more or less the same

but the quantity is much better

[proud prawn]

yes and it doesnt contradict what i say

[dry kayak]

also want to ask should i do all quests or skip to orobyss

i don't need any spesific boss drops btw

[proud prawn]

killing timeless boss will give you gaze of orobyss

which increase the corruption you get when u kill shade of orobyss

ie: you should kill timeline boss whenever u can

[dry kayak]

i just skipped all quest bosses by killing orobyss. What is the benefits of killing first 2 quest bosses?

[surreal verge]

Nothing.

[desert tree]

The first 2 quests are useless and not mandatory once you are in Empowered

But you can use them to use turn on your modifiers without gaining one

[dry kayak]

oh i got it thank you guys

[prime patio]

Do some of those bosses have boss specific drops?

[toxic echo]

in the first two quests, no. only the timeline boss at the end does

[faint cape]

I don't think they actually consume modifier runs anymore

[crude jewel]

are there do-able - any kind of health gain/leech - builds possible? like i stand/run-shot-run and constantly get to full health, kinda like that sort of build? without ward

my 100% crit build cant have the peak of the mountain helm if i use rogue/marksman passivs to get health ^^

i mean i think that "You cannot Leech Health from Critical Strikes" does mean any kind of health gain, right?

with peak of the mountain i dont get health from that, right?

[faint cape]

No, it just means leech

[surreal verge]

No, that only disables leech, not health gain from sapping strikes

[faint cape]

This is just the description of a regular life-based build, right?

Yeah, they are definitely do-able, ward is just the current meta due to balance issues

[dark flame]

Is anyone else having a problem with their loot filter being very buggy?

I tried to make a rule for idols and it just froze and now after reloging all my 30+ rules are gone

[cedar locust]

Do you mean the Loot filter won't load at all?

[dark flame]

Non of my other loot filters show up when clicking the arrow and then I get those two top rules whenever I try to edit rules

And I can't delete those top two rules or even edit them

[cedar locust]

Oh! I know this one -

‘Rules positioned higher…’ lines

• This can be rectified by going into your filters folder (AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Filters) and then finding the new rule (usually bottom rule) and deleting the entire <Rule> to </Rule> block.’ - Forum Link

That Forum link has more information about why this happens and how to avoid it in the future!

[dark flame]

I will look into it. Thank you.. but odd that after 100 hrs of playing it just started happening two days ago

[cedar locust]

This particular bug happens when you duplicate a rule that includes an 'Item Type' condition that has 'Subtypes' set then try to modify the item type.

Which is why it probably hasn't happened before

[dark flame]

Makes sense because that's exactly what I did

[cedar locust]

Yep 😅 Shoutout to PotatoIRL on the Forums for figuring it out AND sharing the fix!

[crude jewel]

i guess yes? didnt know theres regular life-based builds and another form ^^ ... i wanted kinda to avoid using ward build with Exsanguinous and Last Steps of the Living for my 100% crit build so i get more dmg/can use more affix for dmg/crit increase + more place where i could place resistance affix, and if i would do ward build i would need then a few other ward per second and threshold stuff and that would deminish my dmg output... especially since iam not quite sure if that what i try to build, does any good amount of dmg lol

[crude jewel]

does Increased Healing Effectiveness work on sapping strikes?

or better asked; is anything that gives me health get increased with that affix?

[candid elm]

If you're not doing a Ward build, you'd want to get Endurance %, which caps at 60%. The Ward builds with Exsang and Last Steps don't go for Endurance as it works on damage to Health once the damage hits the Endurance Threshold, and not damage to Ward. In addition to Endurance %, there's the Endurance Threshold that already scales with your max life, so usually you just focus on raising your life pool and Endurance % along with your offer defenses and don't worry about Endurance Threshold that much

[crude jewel]

i never used endurance % ^^

i see so i need to look into that then... mhm

(maybe thats the reason why most of my builds not working xD)

[candid elm]

It kicks in automatically once any damage would put you below the Endurance Threshold, so it can help reduce the chance of getting one shot

[crude jewel]

i get a lot one shot at the end yes, ty

[faint cape]

No, only stuff that explicitly says heal

[surreal verge]

Only actual heals are affected by healing effectiveness.

[crude jewel]

i see thanks both of you

[dark flame]

That worked! Thank you!

[cedar locust]

Awesome! Glad it fixed it for you!

[stable oyster]

is it just me or game doesnt really stick to its graphic settings and keeps loading higher settings like grass ON instead of OFF

almost as if i have to reset and override graphic settings with each map

[storm wren]

Anyone master at flurry + multishot build? I wonder why I always can't kill enemies if they're come as waves and waves

[crude jewel]

"(40% to 50%) of added Critical Strike Multiplier Converted to Physical Penetration with Bleed" does this mean my critical strike multiplier is 50% less or the multiplier is the same, just 50% of it gets converted to penetration with bleed?

[surreal verge]

crit multi is less

[crude jewel]

frick

wait does that mean everything that says "converted to" means everytime that stat is subtracted?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[desert tree]

Oo you sure kzb?

I don't think you are loosing on crit multi if you are wearing Salt the Wound

It's just pen for your bleed

[native sail]

Idk why you'd be worrying about what your crit multi is if you're playing STW Bleed/Poison tbh

Crit doesn't do anything for DoT

[surreal verge]

Well unless you tell me the wording of convert is inconsistent, which would be news to me

[crude jewel]

i dont play bleed poison i play 100% crit

or try to

only have had that glove for the multiplier and the resistance

my main focus is atm to reach 100% real crit and get as much crit multiplier as possible (atm on tools i calculated 526% crit multi with only the highest stats obviously)

[desert tree]

Well, try it on the dummy but I don't think you will loose Crit Multi

[crude jewel]

atm i cant try cause i didnt reached the 100% ^^

[native sail]

Imma be honest man, this seems like a terrible choice, find something more useful.

[desert tree]

I mean you can hit the dummy multiple times

[crude jewel]

appreciate you, but idc if something is useful or working as meta build; i try my own ideas and go with it, even if its totally trash

i literally do not care :D

[native sail]

:/

[wide sentinel]

idea of the build: put item that makes you lose 40% of total damage

🤔

noice

[crude jewel]

yes but i have already problems to figure with dummy everything out, and if i see 10 numbers and 3 are yellow and all are nearly above each other, well, thats hard for me ^^

its a language barrier; converted means for me this stat gets 30% of that stat, not that it would subtracted it, but if i translate converted it would mean subtracted so 🤷

i changed the item already to get the endurance up ^^ so its fine, and i only lost like 40% multiplier ^^

[floral hazel]

is it possible to let someone power lvl your character instead of having to do the campaign 20 times a season?

[native sail]

Sorta but not very efficiently. You'll have to at least go and grab your passives/idol slots from campaign/side quests

And no, they're not implementing a full campaign skip.

[storm wren]

🫠 I tried my best really. Really. Really...

132% mana renegation and 222 mana I has but still can't catch up the consume speed...

Mana cost build is my black hole indeed

[wide sentinel]

your life would be so much easier if you tried to search builds on internet first before making a build

🤣

nobody even builds mana regen on marksmen multishot, you get it from on hit nodes

[storm wren]

Yeah but I need experience to up my skill level to active these nodes...

[wide sentinel]

umm those nodes shoudlve been the first one to take

not the multishot proc

[storm wren]

I had used cinder strike before and it don't need mana at all so...I rebuild my skills a few times actually but still don't get the expected balance

[vivid nacelle]

I already know the answer from LE tools but I have to ask anyway.. Pyre of Affliction is only tier 4 Soul bastion? No chance for Tier 2 or 3?

[candid elm]

Yeah looks like it's only T4 https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/soulfire-bastion/tier4/boss-items

[vivid nacelle]

gueh, my character can do it but my brain be muddled and sometimes I see the beeg explosion while I'm locked in casting animation

guess I'll bite the bullet and take some coffee. Also what happens when there's a party in a dungeon and someone dies, do they respawn on completion of the floor?

[surreal verge]

No, they're screwed out of the whole dungeon. One life only.

[vivid nacelle]

guh, SB is massive too wanted to cover more ground quickly but guess we'll be going in a pack

thanks

[supple scroll]

have they stated if the plan to change the blessing system somewhat to make it so you dont need to grind it over and over again?

[lusty creek]

Do you guys have news for merchant's guild? Any news or whatever?

[wide sentinel]

what news are u expecting?

they said they will do minor adjustments to factions but thats about it

[candid elm]

They said here that they're going to do something about the MG inflation, but not during this cycle. So maybe in 1.1 https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rmt-and-exploit-statement/70338

[toxic echo]

they have teased some changes..but when that happens to one knows

[supple scroll]

alright ty!

[lusty creek]

ye im talking about 1.1 of course, i thought they were delete rank restrictions for buying things

[wide sentinel]

no that is not happening for sure

they might reduce rep thresholds

[oblique stone]

i dont think they're gonna redo rep thresholds, the way people make league starter characters in poe people are prob just gonna make trade/merchants guild chars that rep farm low corruption echoes to max rank then make their main

people just don't know they need to do that yet b/c the game is still fresh/new

[wide sentinel]

actually you need to push higher corruption to get those ranks fast not grind low corruption 😅

if anything majority of people who complained abt MG ranks are people who stayed on 100-200 cor, while others pushed 500+ in one day and got rank 10 in couple days

[marsh maple]

I'll be honest the rank you are able to buy exalted gear is the final rank lmao its when things start to matter

[wide sentinel]

yep rank 9 and 10 are completely useless

the only reason you even want those is to buy WW items, but like 1% of builds needs that and even then you need slammed only for minmaxing

besides MG is already many time more op than COF no need for more buffs

[faint cape]

iirc it was confirmed, thresholds will be massively reduced to where you should hit max rank by your first level 100

[wide sentinel]

thats good but imo so many people cried about it cause they literally didnt know that you need to go on 300-500+ corruption to grind it fast

[marsh maple]

yeah so I hit max rank on my second level 100

so its like half the time then

[wide sentinel]

which is kinda on tham

[marsh maple]

yeah I mean it doesnt change much tbh

tbh its better for us

because more people to buy my expensive items

[wide sentinel]

ig ye

[marsh maple]

having more people to buy my 1 LP dragonflame edicts because they followed a bait build guide is all I care about

[faint cape]

A lot of learning pains for sure. The super overtuned builds that exist don't help 😅

[wide sentinel]

yep just sell maxroll gear, newbies eat it all

😌

[marsh maple]

Ill be honest, I think people overexentuate the existance of people in high corruption. Someone being 2k corruption isn't the same as having the market be fueled by thousands of people

because if you play PoE, its the same way. Even a full group of people can't corner a market that big

a hacker with infinite gold can lmao

[wide sentinel]

also another funniest thing to me were people complaining that they didnt know what to list items for, as if selling that op t7 exalted axe with blind chance for 200 or 300k would make a difference

[marsh maple]

like for instance Snap's group was in high corruption before anyone else and they had hundreds of thousands of favor that they essentially just wasted because they didn't have anything to buy

when you have large amounts of favor, it doesn't mean you can control the market because all you can do is buy things

like one person in 2k corruption only needs one well rolled slammed t7 int red ring

[wide sentinel]

yep i like it in LE

[marsh maple]

asfter they have that, they no longer need red rings

so other people can later buy them

[wide sentinel]

in poe its stupid how few people can influence the whole market

so F those guys

[marsh maple]

in poe its fine, the main thing that gets influenced is mirror related things

because when people own a market, it makes farming for said market insanely profitable

[wide sentinel]

reagrdless how much it is, i dont like that there are people price fixing etc

in le its more fair

[marsh maple]

Well in theory, you could like, buy all the cheap items on the market that you are trying to sell in bulk

[wide sentinel]

and ofc no hideout goblins here

[marsh maple]

like buy all the 1 LP twisted hearts

then post all yours at high prices

but you have to physically farm them

and monitor the market and snipe the cheap ones if they come up

so its an insane amount of work for such a small benefit

and thats just one item

[wide sentinel]

idk i feel like youll just lose money

cause there is too much supply

[marsh maple]

I believe you would too

I just am thinking in theory of how you would go about it

because if you find a market with less supply, you run into the issue of all the things you sell are needing to be self farmed

[wide sentinel]

ye not having reselling option is huge, maybe in poe2 they add that

🤔

[marsh maple]

how can you corner the market on red rings if you can't drop them lmao

[wide sentinel]

yepp

[faint cape]

Even if they ever feel like enabling reselling, favor does make it hard to flip, and the probable gold tax will make it hard to make much profit doing that. Probably, anyway.

[light bane]

having a glitch where when trying to progress to keepr's camp and having to talk to to the heoborean man the dialogue box just shows up blank

also having the same glitch in the the ruined temple quest . I am unable to speak with elder Gaspar. when I interact with him the dialogue box is just empty no text

[worldly spade]

You're leaving them all lost for words

[low dagger]

Did you try a file repair?

[light bane]

pretty sure I have but I'll give it another try

[edgy plank]

wtf?

[candid elm]

Try these https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1214555602966151169

[light bane]

ok that fixed it for now

[wide sentinel]

dont press alt+z and it wont happen

or was it ctrl+alt+z, look up your binds there is setting to hide all items

[hot crest]

This a bug or what

[wide sentinel]

do you see your character dodging everythig? i think it explains it

[vivid nacelle]

Any general tips for Cremorus T4 fight? I've died to him timing the necrotic explosion at the same time as his flamethrower and I have overcapped resists which still end up in a 1 shot

Also for added context using Acolyte, Boneclamor + Exang, resists are overcapped but feel pointless, 2500ish ward, damage seems to be fine I think last attempt I saw him at 60%ish during the necrosplosion+flamethrower

[storm wren]

Should I active resolve node to gain more mana in battles? Looks like I must cost more mana...

The AOE problem is solved by This node, but now....aaaaaaa Always run out my mana

[vivid nacelle]

Mana regen on equips can help

Also cutting down on some stuff, sometimes you don't need to throw smoke and black arrows

[storm wren]

Can't help me at all unfortunately because I must cast flurry consistently to gain health and mana

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[vivid nacelle]

When I was plying marksman I'd go with shift for mana stuff and just wait a bit after every fight

But yeah like mage you pop mana strike I'm between spells, flurry multishot flurry

[storm wren]

lol The main problem is only shift and flurry can gain mana directly.

I max my mana and mana regan on passive already

...........Alright I see

I don't need to worried about mana at all if my damage is crazy enough

[surreal verge]

Don't expect to survive a single hit from him, he's known as the glass cannon boss.

[vivid nacelle]

fuark

so i guess i just hangback and wait for him to do his stuff

[surreal verge]

Dodge, murder him faster than he can murder you, and remember to barrier swap.

[vivid nacelle]

guess i got unlucky

because the explosion ring came in and I swapped to necroshield and at that same moment i was too close and ate the flamethrower

[vivid nacelle]

using multishot as main usually results in 0 mana at the end of the fight, if the fight takes longer burn most of your mana into it, save some shift just in case, swap to your battery skill to get back to full mana and MS again

[storm wren]

👀 I suppose this is the real reason

[surreal verge]

Did you really? Did you really take that node?

[storm wren]

Maybe I actived it too early so I can't control the consume speed

😅 Put two points on it before

[vivid nacelle]

as Acolytes say

"That is too much"

check your +costs. It would be funny to have my Blackhole summon Meteors but not in this economy

[storm wren]

Ok there're double reasons:

1. I had activated coated blades too early to consume too much mana
2. I don't increase enough physical damage. All of my skills has close relationship with physical damage and bow damage don't help to up damage so much actually.

So...The key to survive and swim within echoes is increase as much physical damage as possible

Increased 542% physical damage now and feel comfortable finally :)

[crude jewel]

multishot: i am confused about the text the skills damage per second shows me between the affix "increased damage per arrow of multishot" and "increased damage while wielding a bow". without both items the standard dps is atm 2974, with 9% per arrow the skill text says 3485 dps and with the wielding bow with 44% its 3286 dps. i want to understand why? both affix should not be adding cause there is no + only "x % increase" so how does the math/calculation work?

both items have no other affix that would increase the dmg and/or the skills themself

my only guess would be, that the dps text calculation somehow adds the more arrow i have the more dps it gives me out, but if i would attack only one enemy, that would not be accurate since only one arrow can hit the same target (i dont have the node which more could hit the same target)

[surreal verge]

For the latter (Increased damage while wielding a bow):
It literally gives you % increased all damage while you're equipping a bow, which boosts ALL damage you do.

[crude jewel]

that i understand

[surreal verge]

2nd: Tooltip DPS is a godamn liar.

[crude jewel]

[surreal verge]

Trusting it is just setting yourself up for downfall.

[crude jewel]

the more i ask about dmg stuff the more i understand why you guys always say i should test it on a dummy -.-

but for the understanding, let aside the text is wrong; theoreticly the 9% is less then the 44%, right? i should not make more dmg with the 9% affix on only one target?

[surreal verge]

On paperr.

Giant Slayer throws this out of the window.

[crude jewel]

mhm?

[surreal verge]

Giant Slayer makes Multishot arrows shotgun, allowing all arrows to hit the same target.

With your example, the 9% is now 45% at 5 arrows.

[crude jewel]

yea that i get, but i would also get -80% dmg cause of giant slayer thats why i dont use it

[surreal verge]

So at 5 arrows all hitting, you're hitting exactly 100%.
With 5 chances to proc on hit effects.

[crude jewel]

oh

i mean if i would do a bleed/poison build i should use that but since its crit build mhm...

[surreal verge]

Since you need large quiver, that means 9 arrows.
Hitting a boss would do 180% damage, with 9 procs.

The 9% per arrow is now an extra 81%

[crude jewel]

i have +2 arrow with ancient flight too

[surreal verge]

11 arrows, 220% if they all hit the same target.

[crude jewel]

-80%

right?

[surreal verge]

( 100% - 80%) x 11.

[crude jewel]

not -80% -80% of 220%

yea

[surreal verge]

That's 220.

[proud prawn]

you get 4 more arrows from passive

[surreal verge]

Already counted.

5+4+2

[proud prawn]

marksman passive not from the multishot tree

[surreal verge]

OH

[proud prawn]

you're playing marksman right?

[surreal verge]

I forgot about that node.

LOL

[crude jewel]

so thats why then the text is wrong? or doesnt matter, for any skill the text is a liar?

yea marksman

[surreal verge]

Which text? tooltip DPS?

[proud prawn]

?

what's wrong here?

[surreal verge]

@proud prawn

This is what started the topic

[proud prawn]

what confuse him?

[crude jewel]

god ok, so, i cant rely on the text. since my math is rly bad, i cant rely on me, so the only thing to really see the difference, is testing both items + with and without giant slayer on the dummy, uff

[crude jewel]

the text why 9% should be more dps then 44%

on one target

without giant slayer

[proud prawn]

how many arrows are u shooting?

[crude jewel]

5+4+2+2

miss one point in the marksman passiv

[proud prawn]

so 13?

[crude jewel]

but only one arrow hits the target so arrows doesnt matter in theory ^^

[proud prawn]

and you dont know why the 9% per arrow gives more dps than the 44% dam while wielding bow correct?

[proud prawn]

oh lol

[crude jewel]

yes, for ONE target

i get it if i had giant slayer

^^

[proud prawn]

that dam per arrow is giving the TOTAL damage to the multishot skill

not to each arrow

you're misunderstanding

[crude jewel]

what you mean?

[proud prawn]

it means if youér shooting 13 arrows

[lavish crane]

13 arrows means 9%x13 =117% increase

[crude jewel]

that explained kzb already

[proud prawn]

that mod will give 9% X 13 increase damage to the MULTISHOT skill

[surreal verge]

Oh.

THAT'S how that works?

[crude jewel]

?

[surreal verge]

[crude jewel]

isnt that the same as you explained kzb?

[surreal verge]

(In my defense, I mostly used giant slayer)

[surreal verge]

The difference is that those % I told you also work without giant slayer.

[proud prawn]

giant slayer or not doesnt matter to that mod

it gives damage to the skill

not the arrow

[surreal verge]

So if you're firing 9 arrows, with or without giant slayer, you're doing ( 9% x 9) more increased damage.

[proud prawn]

nope you're doing 9x9% INCREASED damage

not more damage

"more" in this game is sensitive

[crude jewel]

so not only one arrow gets 9% more dmg, every arrow gets 9x amount of arrows that shot= every arrow gets that dmg?

so the dmg output is difference how much arrows are getting out?

[proud prawn]

it applies once

[surreal verge]

Oh right, oops, wrong word

[crude jewel]

what you mean once?

[proud prawn]

each arrows get 9x9% increase damage

period

[crude jewel]

yea that i meant

oh god

so the skill text then isnt lieing?

[proud prawn]

dont beat yourself up over this
I've seen much more eperienced player getting this kind of stuff wrong

[crude jewel]

it doesnt bother me that i get it wrong, it does bother me that i dont understand it after someone explain stuff to me ^^, i am still a bit confused, but less

but i think i got it now

i shot 5 arrows, 5x9 = 45% increased dmg to multishot skill so every arrow does make 45% increased dmg, if i shot 10 arrows, 10x90=90% increased dmg so i make even more, but if i then shot again only 5 i then do less again... is that right?

[proud prawn]

yes

[crude jewel]

gotcha

thanks!

[lavish crane]

the increase depend directly of the number of arrows shotted yes.
number of arrow X increase per arrow = total increase to multishot skill

So to maximize dps you need this affix on helm torso and idol and get all the arrow possible 5+4+4+4=17 at max
4 from the unique bow, 4 from the passive, 4 from the skill tree

[proud prawn]

TLDR: get as many arrows as u can

[crude jewel]

and now i see the text as it change with +2 arrows for 3 second with ancient flight, the dps rise and falls after the buff is away

holy moly now i am exhausted xD

and back to giant slayer; skill text says 4000dps, giant slayer says -80%, that means i only do 800dps now with multishot?

[lavish crane]

yes but for bossing you can go right next to the boss and it take all arrow damage that mean up to 800x17 if you have 17 arrows

[crude jewel]

ah wait lets not do dps, i do 2000dmg with one arrow does this mean -80% for the 2000dmg?

[proud prawn]

yes

[crude jewel]

but only if i manage to hit ALL arrows

[proud prawn]

in short every arrow does 1/5x the damage

but arrows now can hit the same target

[lavish crane]

exactly but you need only 5 to hit for equal damage

[proud prawn]

result in higher total dps

[crude jewel]

oh

[proud prawn]

if you're shooting 15 arrows and manage to shotgun all of them, it gives you 2x more damage

[crude jewel]

god i need to test that with a dummy as soon as i have my 100% crit, cause then theres another calculation left

oh wait so i would not need do another calculation since without crit i already do 2x more dmg

mhm i see

[proud prawn]

lmao

[stable oyster]

is LE more GPU or CPU depended game?

i think gpu right?

[lavish crane]

depend how many pixel your screen has.
I did play 1440p with low setting and a GTX1060, that was mostly OK, so you don't need that much. Probably need an SSD storage for better experience and more than 16Go Ram.

[storm wren]

lol

No idea how am I trigger this bug

[velvet agate]

mine is 1030, a bit laggy when on maps where monsters have summoning skills, lol

[lucid finch]

Will CoF/bazaar progress reset with new cycle?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[crude jewel]

well i tested giant slayer, it is nearly a must have it seems :/ (if you focus on multishot as your main skill)

[cedar locust]

We're not sure either 😅 it's been a tough one to pin down

[grand shoal]

Tied to highlighting somehow

[cedar locust]

Ah maybe! I know that Emphasize causes blank loot tags, so it tracks that highlighting could Krangle loot tags 🤔

[fading flint]

Guys after some testing and checking event viewer - my pc still restarts mid game and it shows KERNAL PROCESSOR POWER ERROR. i ran an OCCT test on all of my hardware last night and no issues...

Literally cannot figure this out and what causes these frequent pc restarts only playing Last Epoch.

Any feedback would be awesome

i haven't, i am having such a tough time with this game on my system... it should run fine. How would I go about doing that?

[fading flint]

i also want to note that it runs fine on my handheld ASUS ROG Ally - so if it's something with my system, i haven't figured it out yet

[cedar locust]

Just open task manager while you play, you should be able to find Last Epoch in the list and track VRAM use.

Are you running anything else while you play on your PC?

[fading flint]

not normally no, just a web browser on the other monitor. i try to close steam, discord, any of that at this point. i thought it was sophos virus protector and shut that off, but still nothing. ran DISM CHKDSK SFCSCAN - checked all my hardware... kernal processing power error every time.

[cedar locust]

Hmm, Chrome is resource heavy especially if you're like me and have a lot of tabs open. Is this limited to Last Epoch or does it happen with other games?

[fading flint]

have not noticed this with any other games - used to run FFXIV, WOW, BG3, DIABLO 3 & 4 with no issues, sometimes the fans would speed up and grind but other than that nothing like this.

Ryzen 5 3600 3.6GHz, RTX 2060 Super 8G, 500GB SSD, 16GB DDR4

this is what i run.

plus a 1TB drive

even on very low settings, it crashes... sometimes it doesn't even make it past the character select screen.

I'm pretty confused what happened really...

I don't touch the rolling rock at all but I still can die...????

Green particle effect on ground even can kill me...???

[cedar locust]

I'd recommend reaching out to our Support Team with your crash log and PC specs, they might be able to help. I'll also ask the team to see if anyone has any idea what could cause this 🙂

[fading flint]

appreicate it, i have been in emails with EHG Paula and sent those logs over but haven't heard anything back :X

[cedar locust]

Oh no worries then if you're already messaged the Support team! They will reach back out 🙂

[fading flint]

np, it's getting to the point where i just dont play it on my desktop anymore and only my asus rog ally - kinda sucks but, until i figure this out. i am not sure if i need a new computer or not ><

[storm wren]

...I always stick on somewhere when I want to move when I fight with boss of lightless arbor if I close to the heart too much

But watch video guide and it tell me close to the heart is the most simple way to avoid damage

Why the heart is super strict for requirement of actions...

I m running half of Ur system and have no issues the only thing I can think of is that processor struggling with rendering and creating a bottle

Have u tried repairing game folder thru steam or did update the Nvidia drivers recently ?

[cedar locust]

Good point IDDPaPi - Paula might have asked but just in case, can you try verifying your game files through Steam for me?

Also have you done any driver updates recently?

[fading flint]

yeah exactly this is what i dont understand - if your system is half of mine, can it be hardware related? i did a hardware stress test with OCCT and no issues - drivers are up to date, windows is up to date, updated AMD chipset, BIOS, even other drives just because... still restarts the PC no BSOD, and windows log says KERNAL PROCCESSING POWER ERROR.

[fading flint]

the integrity files? yes i do that once a day

[muted fractal]

Umm

Is Ur power supply ok ?

[fading flint]

according to the occt test it's fine. but i have no idea

[cedar locust]

This error has a ton of causes 🤔 You said you checked your BIOS - is speedstep still enabled?

[fading flint]

speedstep?

[fading flint]

fast boot disabled, proccessor virtualization enabeled and disabled, i havent messed with any frequency on rams or hardware because that is not my area :x

[cedar locust]

Intel Speedstep - it lets your processor adjust frequency and voltage based on power conditions and workload. Can cause some issues, though no clear answer on that

[fading flint]

i am using AMD not sure if that matters or if they have something similar

[muted fractal]

That where I can't help u really I have never been a fan of AMD due it's issue with some rendering engines

[fading flint]

understood. appreciate your feedback though

[muted fractal]

Does game support Vulcan ?

[cedar locust]

I think on AMD it's called Cool'n'Quiet, unless it's an Asrock board - then you'll want to look for PSS

[muted fractal]

Or it only runs on DX ?

[cedar locust]

The other thing to do, if you have a spare, is swap out the power supply and see what happens.

(Now I'm invested 😅 ) @fading flint Do you know if your Ryzen 5 3600 is a B450 board?
