[harsh ravine]

I have a few more. This is what I have so far. I need to adjust the quiver filter based on the conversation. Then I'll do the same for the other slots.

[icy drift]

yeah seems fine, i'd move the hide rule for other classes to the top since you never know when something can sneak through for a different class as you make your filter bigger

i assume you straight up never wanna see stuff from other classes

outside of maybe uniques

which i recommend making a rule at the top that says show uniques, it's just a safety thing

[harsh ravine]

Correct. I mean theoretically if I wanted to play another type later I might want to collect stuff but I can only focus on one build at a time 🤣

I add in a specific rule for uniques as suggested

[snow trellis]

So if doing a monolith for a farm, should I do the quest echoes? Can I keep doing the monolith after doing the quest echoes? Seem to be wasting stability.

[icy drift]

no and yes, quest echoes don't take stability

they just unlock once you have a certain amount

but don't consume it

[chrome cedar]

Depends what you are farming too.

[icy drift]

not really, you shouldn't do them if you're in empowered period, their only use is to get rid of echo modifiers

[chrome cedar]

More to the part of doing more monos after you have stability for the boss.

[icy drift]

ah, yeah

[chrome cedar]

I would never do the quests in empowered though lol

[snow trellis]

So I'm level 69, doing Black Sun, stability seems maxed out at 550, trying to farm for Herald of the Scurry.

[proper geode]

its considered an accessibility software, like windows narrator for the blind or color filters for color blind. Countless of us use it.

[surreal verge]

You should be able to store double the amount of stability required for a quest boss echo

[faint cape]

It sounds like you are in the wrong place. Scurry is too high of level to drop in normal Black Sun, not sure if you can get it high enough through corruption, but either way don't bother trying to use the target farm timeline stuff until empowered since that's when it becomes non-negligible.

[dusky kite]

This game has a bit of a problem with power curve in the sense that hitting about 70-80% of your character's power is very easy (especially for your second+ character), but getting one character to even 95% can be extremely tedious and prone to shit RNG. Otherwise yeah, a good half of your power, or more, comes from skill trees and passive trees, and itemization tends to mostly be defensive in nature as not being able to survive is the most common roadblock for most builds when scaling corruption.

And when it comes to actually fully completing your build with BIS items, forget about it, the odds are literally astronomical and some items will not drop in the exact best configuration until the heat death of the universe

It's a philosophical question since most games have long lists of issues, but for the amount of content the price tag is honestly quite laughable, you can easily get a couple thousands of hours from the game as it is now

I played POE2 a bit but its endgame is even worse than LE at this point. Sure they have a lot of content and mechanics (copy pasted from POE1) but they all suck. In comparison LE endgame doesn't have a lot of content types and special mechanics and thus can get a bit stale and repetitive, but the content that is there respects you as a player (mostly - fu ck WW relics)

it's going to look like ass if you do pay, currently the cosmetics are meh. In-game gear models vary but are mostly acceptable, you won't be wearing rags strewn together from shit and sticks like in poe1

[mossy shadow]

really hoping season 2 pops off this April, since they upgrade 2 endgame mechanic, the monolith and crafting. Might not be a complete overhaul but at least they doing something to improve our experience.

I don't even know what "Dungeon Improvement" they will do. Maybe remove the unlock per tier?

[snow trellis]

Ah, thank you.

[random tapir]

i'm a grinder at heart, I don't mind repetitive content as long as there's an end goal, I played legend of mir from like 2001 onwards on and off, 6 months - a year at a time, still play it today on very dead private servers (100 active players if you're lucky - most afk), if you're unfamiliar it's an isometric korean mmo which will force you to grind the same area for days before gaining a level, with no proper level cap and just an exp needed multiplier to the next level, there's truly no end to a character's power but diminishing returns are hard at work but those that commit to the grind are heavily rewarded, well, until they're not 😆

I bought the game and have played a bit of rogue and acolyte so far, acolyte was far easier, my head tells me i should pick necromancer but my heart says lich

[dusky kite]

all classes are viable, but lich has a bit of a build diversity issue since basically you play lich form and death seal in all builds

[random tapir]

anyone else's pc fans go absolutely insane when opening the game but chill out once you're in? o.O

[desert tree]

Yup

[dusky kite]

they forgot (tm) to optimize the menus

[random tapir]

yeah the game does feel like it could use some more optimisation, the graphics are nice but I feel like a 4070 super should be running them at max on 240fps no problem

[restive epoch]

lately my game straight up crashes for the first time I start it, but then its fine 😄

[random tapir]

eh, still better than poe2 that crashed my pc every single loading screen

[cedar locust]

Iirc, the team are working on the menu fps sitch 😊

[edgy sphinx]

I played WoW from 2007-2010 with horrific fps, some get used to it to the point it doesn't even bother us anymore. But crashing in that other game was quite upsetting.

[random tapir]

yeah I had integrated graphics and played WoW at like 20-30 fps lmaooo

[edgy sphinx]

Yeah same, except I was on a laptop. Regularly played between 10 and 19 fps. Low fps doesn't even affect me anymore, really. I just learned to power through.

[random tapir]

oh it definitely affects me now, I've been blessed with 144 for the last few years and more recently 240, I can play at 144 but 60 is painful for me

[dusky kite]

less frames = more time to think of your next move, 5head

[mossy shadow]

well kinda same here, but not CRAZY insane my fan going full throttle (my pc has like 6 fans) i thought its normal

why is frame lock at 60fps tho?

[random tapir]

naw I'm not locked at 60, locked at 144 for LE, but if I was forced to 60 I'd be sick 😆

[mossy shadow]

wait. why am i lock at 60fps

what the heck

i even have my frame limit to 144 fps in setting xD

[edgy sphinx]

I think my monitor can go to 160hz, but I don't think I'd really notice my framerate being that high. Not in any way that mattered.

[mossy shadow]

true, there are just times when frame goes bonker to like 1 fps e.g. challenging a nemesis. Making the neme get 1-2 hit on me. Weird

[restive epoch]

Doesnt matter, Orobyss will eat your frames anyway

[random tapir]

why am i seein lots of item drops that i just can't pick up? tried disabling loot filter but I only have normal items turned off anyway

oh i turned tooltips off my bad 😆

[cedar locust]

Yep, if it's not the loot filter, it's the tooltips 😅

[midnight knot]

agreed

campaign was fun but outside that, yeah...eh

[noble condor]

Hey Im doing a detonating arrows build and Ethereal arrows doesnt seem to do more dmg with my detonating arrow even tho I amp up my mana cost with mana warp. Now I dont know if I do more dmg but its just ''invisible'' aka you cant see the dps increase when hovering the skill but against mobs it does do more dmg or what? Im just asking cause if it doesnt work with it I might as well spend my 15 point ssomewhere else

[surreal verge]

What's mana warp? It also doesn't work if you converted Detonating Arrow into a melee skill via Jelkhors.

[noble condor]

mana warp makes u spend more mana on skills that use mana, but also u gain mana on skills that dont use mana. I am using a bow and I tested on a dummy incase its just tooltip error and i had 0 increase of dmg with full points vs 0 points

[surreal verge]

Just to make sure, what's your spec on detonating arrow currently?

[noble condor]

Im assuming u mean what points im using?

[surreal verge]

Yup

Hmmm, I'm not sure where's the problem then. Maybe #🔪┃rogue can help you out

[noble condor]

alright mate thanks for trying tho

[toxic echo]

i wonder if its just doing the initial hit and not the explosion cuz the explosion might be a subskill

[mellow island]

I feel like I'm crazy for asking, but does anyone know how to increase the font size on text? I'm really struggling to see

[desert tree]

Notsure if you can do it now

But there is more UI options coming for 1.2

You could qlso try this

[random tapir]

am i dumb for using an actual melee weapon on a lich build?

pretty much picked it up for necro damage, the heal on kill seems to help me stay in lich longer too so idk

[storm wren]

No matter, lich suppose to be a melee character in acolyte

[toxic echo]

nah. its fine for early game and such. and depending on what your final build is...might just end up using melee anyways

[random tapir]

yeah i was just looking at bis/reaper builds, shows marina's lost soul which is a wand so it made me think

[surreal verge]

Depends if you're using spells or melee skills.

(Acolyte only has Harvest as their melee skill)

[random tapir]

yeah i'm using harvest and reap mostly with bonecurse, aura of decay and wandering spirits to fill the gaps

[surreal verge]

Yeah, the melee would help harvest assuming that's your main damage.

[limpid valve]

hey there. I'm at the first monolith clear quest and the final quest area doesn't seem to appear. Does it appear after certain corruption level only? Is it guaranteed to be on the map, if you clear the map towards dead ends?

[restive epoch]

You only need to kill the quest boss (not Shade of Orobyss at the dead ends), then there should be like a bridge leading to the next Alternate Timeline

[limpid valve]

and the expected echoes count would be? 'cause I've got like 60 after first echo that raises corruption

[faint cape]

The quest areas don't appear randomly, you activate them manually whenever you want to (once you have enough stability) from the quest echo list on the left

[limpid valve]

whaaaaaat

[restive epoch]

from here

[limpid valve]

well

I use it as a thing to play before sleep on steamdeck, but this is still silly

[faint cape]

The quest things on the left being interactable is a common enough thing for people to miss that I do hope EHG makes it a little more apparent for new players

[limpid valve]

yeah and a bit of interactables are harder to reach on the controller, I think

but well

happens

[restive epoch]

In the monolith you clear echoes, yellow stability bar on top fills, in normal (not empowered) you do the three quests with a boss at the end and then the next monolith unlocks 🤔 or I dont understand the problem... 😄

[sly fable]

Has EHG ever published data or snapshots of the populations of MG vs. CoF? What percentage of the playerbase chooses which faction?

[faint cape]

Good point, the controller support is actively getting tweaks, hopefully this will be one

[native dune]

How do you empower a monolith?

[faint cape]

No, they haven't. iirc Mike said that getting an actual snapshot would be difficult, probably due to people being able to have characters in both factions. imo with a good analysis method that's not really too big of a hurdle, but they probably just prefer not to say.

[faint cape]

Once you complete the bosses of the last three timelines (the level 90 ones), an extra boss should spawn. When you kill it, it unlocks all timelines and they become empowered which just lets you pick between their original version or a level 100 version.

[sly fable]

Maybe you can tell this guy? https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1ip38lf/want_to_buy_but_want_ask_community_first/mcschap/

No pressure, but I'm getting roasted for asking for a source for the claim that they released these numbers

(roasted is an exaggeration)

[native dune]

Oh ok, so not yet! :D

[faint cape]

Oof, funny response considering trade hasn't existed for 5 years

[sly fable]

RIGHT?

[faint cape]

This was what I found in two seconds of searching though, I don't remember where I saw the "it being difficult" discussion: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[native dune]

Engaging in Reddit is harmful my dude. Liek really, I gave up talking to Redditors a long time ago.

It's a hopeless cause.

[sly fable]

It's funny, because people say the same thing about discord

[faint cape]

Mike doesn't always know what every other EHG employee has released, so it's of course not conclusive, but at least supports that they probably didn't release the info

[sly fable]

And generally, there are good discussions on here, but also plenty of people who show up with an axe to grind

overall, I don't personally find one commuity better/worse than the other overall.

I'm immediately getting message requests from this person. Sus.

[native dune]

I've never claimed Discord servers are any better. >:D The difference is that Discord servers usually are a lot more reactive and thus I can find interesting information much quicker.

Also, my country's subreddit is a nightmarish hellhole.

[sly fable]

Discord is a better place if you want to ask a question. I find reddit a better place if you want to have a discussion

[native dune]

To each his own, as long as you are having fun and finding what you like, all the power to you.

[native dune]

What's the maximum affix tier?

7?

[faint cape]

Yes, 7 is max from drops, 5 is max you can craft

[native dune]

Am I correct to say that item level is even less relevant in this game than in other ARPGs? I'm level 65 and regularly drop T7 affixed items.

[toxic echo]

t7 affixes only drop in lvl 90+ areas (or from nemesis)

but yea item level is pretty useless. its just a gate for the better bases

[faint cape]

Yeah, there's not even really an item level like you'd have in similar games like PoE, just level requirements. The zone level where they drop does matter quite a bit, but once the item is dropped, it no longer matters where it came from (in terms of item power).

[storm wren]

Mike showed us unknown and odd things again

I can't tell what's it

How EHG's artists think these weird stuff lol

another odd stuff without suitable words can describe

[faint cape]

This is definitely an echo island, and it has a giant colosseum on it. Could be a new type of arena echo, or maybe they reworked arena echoes, or something else completely unrelated like a new randomly spawned boss fight.

[faint cape]

It's a relic like this one

but themed like the Weaver

[storm wren]

😱 you're too amazing

Then I'll think that colosseum is too perfect... So looks like a ring too

I don't connect that with a new weaver item at all

[faint cape]

It may or may not be an item with Weaver's Will, but compare its style with the Woven:

To me it seems similar, but I could be off

[storm wren]

😂 Still no idea which connection between them is

I'm curious why these characters looks in this theme... Like... their body form of tree branches

[storm blaze]

Their bodies are weaved together

[faint cape]

Like spider silk

But magic

[storm wren]

That's what I get from colosseum model EHG made VS that's what I think colosseum should looks

Yeah I mean ruined colosseum... If what EHG want to make is a new colosseum, then no cracks should exist 🤔

[faint cape]

The colosseum in the teaser kinda looks like it's occupied, so big cracks in it might be a safety concern

[wide sentinel]

@alpine pendant those minions do not die on snapshot gear since they have leech, thats their whole point and why they could push 1500 arenas

[untold grotto]

is there any point in playing rn when the new update is dropping in april? Will progress from now carry over to april?

[dusky kite]

the main point of playing any game is having fun

[alpine pendant]

yes it will carry over if you want to keep playing the same character

[dusky kite]

but yes you can keep playing your current characters in legacy mode

[untold grotto]

sorry still trying to understand. if I create a character on current season, it'll move to like the POE equivalent of "standard" but if I want to play the new season in april I have to make a new character in that season right

[restive epoch]

yes

[untold grotto]

gotcha

[restive epoch]

legacy = standard
cycle = season/league

[surreal verge]

There's no seasonal mechanics so legacy and cycle is similar, only economic difference

[untold grotto]

OK and have the devs ever fixed market exploits? Cuz I've played in the past maybe 2 ish seasons? And there was always an exploit that just immediately ruined market

And I didn't like the other faction at the time because the uniques/items that you got were completely random and weren't even useful for builds I wanted to play half the time

Has any of that changed?

[dusky kite]

they seem to have fixed most of them but who knows with the generally reduced interest to play on the market this late into a season, maybe new exploits just werent found yet, or were found but are kept for the start of the next season

[dusky kite]

no

you play COF if you want to play multiple characters

[untold grotto]

Well shid

Might stay away from the game till market guarantee has been fixed genuinely not fun

Thanks tho

[mossy shadow]

Question on Slam:

Can you slam a exalted Rogue Relic onto a Mage Unique relic with LP ?

[restive epoch]

only if the rogue relic doesnt have any rogue class affixes afaik

but Ive never tried that myself

[mossy shadow]

was curious coz a rogue relic has a T7 +mana affixes i want

and no rogue specific skill anyways

was wondering it will work lol

[supple flare]

Hiya, haven't played in a while. Is WASD movement in the game now?

[restive epoch]

nope

[toxic echo]

it is being tested internally.

there is no eta on it tho

[supple flare]

Thanks for responses!

[chrome cedar]

Bit of a silly question, but it's been a while since I've done monos and I forget, doing the boss doesn't reset the mono web right? Just doing a shade resets it right?

[storm blaze]

Shade resets it and there's a thing that lowers your corruption that also resets it
but the mono boss doesn't

[chrome cedar]

Awesome thank you!

[severe hill]

I have yet to purchase the game yet but are you locked into the story on the first play through?

[storm wren]

yeah

[cinder fossil]

you can technically stop playing the story and start doing endgame content midway through it, but you'd be pretty underleveled for it

[surreal verge]

You could take a detour and do end-game content early, but you'll be around lv 20 when the area is level 50+, but you could

[severe hill]

lastly is there an exp cap meaning if someone in end game were to join me do i get no exp freom this 50+ mobs

[cinder fossil]

i believe there is an xp penalty if you are more than 10 levels below the zones' level (someone correct me if im remembering wrong)
you would get xp but not a lot

[severe hill]

sounds good so similiar to most arpg dont want u to be power leveled haha

(if i were to stay playing before the wife) wanted to ensure i could catch her up basically

[surreal verge]

You will only earn xp as if mobs are 10 levels above you, no matter how high the mobs levels are if above this amount.

Eg: lv 10, at a lv 50 area, you will earn xp as if it's a lv 20 area.

[severe hill]

understood so you don't lose anything you just don't gain anything

[surreal verge]

Pretty much

Assuming you survive of course.

[severe hill]

if u die penalty or , are you saying there is a completion xp?

[surreal verge]

No penalty on death, it's just that the xp range is only about a screen wide, so you can't just sit at the entrance and gain xp

[severe hill]

gotcha can they hit you off screen?

like hit u before u see them

[surreal verge]

There's a small amount of enemies that can.

[severe hill]

assuming there are classes what do u play

[surreal verge]

Any, there's 15 to pick from.

All have meta builds

[severe hill]

nice like more arpgs are these meta builds gear relant "ubers" uniques legendarys exalted divines etc?

[dusky kite]

power leveling is super irrelevant in LE cause you need to complete side quests in the campaign to unlock skill points and idol slots, on every character

and going back to complete them on high level is going to save you next to no time cause you can just run past mobs in either case

and a high level character doesn't run much faster, if at all, than a low level one

[marsh maple]

I pointed this out when we got the dungeon skips and everyone called me crazy

[severe hill]

Nice

[surreal verge]

Just uniques mostly, which most aren't hard.

[severe hill]

And no real trading system?

[harsh ravine]

Can you not use Glyph of Envy in a non-empowered monolith to shorten the timeline to the boss fights ? I did so last night. It extracted the points but it did not apply the mto the non-empowered timeline I was in. If they do not apply where do the points go ?

[dusky kite]

there is an auction house in the merchant guild

it has a few limitations but those arent critical

[dusky kite]

yes, I did it today on an alt, make sure you've entered an echo in that timeline

and are not just using it from the island in the main mono area

[harsh ravine]

Really ? I've always done it on the island in empowered monoliths. You don't need to be in an echo. Seems odd that it is applied differently in non-empowered monoliths

Is that a bug ?

[dusky kite]

you dont need to be in an echo but it adds stability to the last timeline you've entered

if you don't enter it and are just standing outside, it's not going to be helpful

[harsh ravine]

I used multiple Envy glyphs when on the island. They did not apply to the timeline. I should have had over 400 but I still had only 40. When in empowered monolith I did the same thing but from the island. I gave me over 900 points so I could run the boss. Why do I have to be in an actual echo, open the forge, apply an upgrade and glyph of Envy for it to work in non-empowered monolith when I do not have to be in an echo for an empowere monolith to have the points allocated to the timeline. That's what is happening

[sly fable]

No, glyph of envy applies stability to the last timeline you have completed an echo in. I believe it says so on the tooltip

So you have to complete an echo, then use glyph of envy. Doesn't matter where you are when you do it, just matters what was the last echo you completed

[desert tree]

I believe there is some kind of a bug, where if Empowered is available it always applies the Stability to the Empowered Timeline not the non Empowered

[sly fable]

That seems plausible. Why would you want to add stability to unempowered? Just because you weren't strong enough for the empowered version of a boss?

[harsh ravine]

This is not true. It says "The most recent timeline you entered" You do not have to have completed it or complete an echo first. I just tried it again in a non-empowere monolith, after completing an echo and still being in the echo. It popped up a message that "0 points attribute to empowered monolith" and no pints went to the timeline I'm currently in, so it's definitely a bug then

[harsh ravine]

It doesn't do that either. I got a message that 0 points were allocated to an empowered timeline when I used the glyph

But let me check to see if that is true

OK - it DOES apply the points to the empowered timeline version you have, not the un-empowered timeline you are currently sitting in. I got the message about 0 allocation because I maxed out the number of points in the empowered timeline. So either you can't allocate to non-empowered timelines, you can only allocate to the empowered version of the same timeline, or its a bug because I could not allocate points from glyph of envy while in un-empowered timeline. The description on the glyph doesn't inidicate you can't allocate to a non-empowered timeline but that is what I have encountered.

[median zenith]

I double checked the code for you and Glyph of Envy applies to your "previous timeline" which is whatever timeline you most recently entered, as in, started a quest or regular echo in (zoning into the Monolith of Fate and standing near the monolith rock is not "entering" the timeline). If you have active runs in both normal and empowered for that timeline, it will pick the empowered one.

Nothing in the tooltip specifies which difficulty it will pick, only which timeline. Since this glyph is made for pushing to empowered and then pushing corruption quickly, I suppose the always picking empowered if able is implied rather than explicitly stated.

The line at the bottom of the tooltip about granting more stability "if you have never completed the timeline before and it is not empowered" is describing the alt catch-up mechanic part of the glyph. This grants significantly more to a normal timeline that you've never completed so that alts can catch up to empowered much faster.

[harsh ravine]

Thanks for the clarification. At least I now know what is happening. Basically once you unlock empowered timelines than the glyph will only apply to empowered. Until then though it will work in unempowered timelines, so that description on the glyph covers both scenarios.

[median zenith]

ya, i think that bonus stability part for unempowered is so you don't need to spend like 5 of them per timeline to catch your alt up to empowered, it basically just fills the bar w/ 1 use so you don't feel like it's a waste of glyphs to catch up your alts

wordsmithing these edge case mechanics so they are clear but don't turn into novels in the tooltip is always tricky 😛

[lean locust]

Is there a certain level or corruption level I can start finding Mad Alchemist's Ladle?

I am still levelling up at around 85-100, but still gearing.

Haven't seen a single one despite killing a fair few Exiled Mages. 🙂

[harsh ravine]

Maybe highlight the effect on a wiki page or an in-game FAQ on how the Glyph works in the two scenarios. As you say, you can't make it clearer than it is, unless you write an essay, which you don't want to do in a item tooltip

[toxic echo]

more corruption is better...but its just rng. its fairly rare off mages.

[lean locust]

Good to know - thank you 🙂

[bold delta]

just jumped in, waiting for a PoE2 update, lol. Best class for a complete newbie?

[dusky kite]

the one you like the most

the difference is fairly intangible in this regard

[bold delta]

fair shout, always gone summoner for a league start in PoE, will see how that works out!

[storm wren]

Personal choice is necromancer

For referance only

[bold delta]

in poe, Necros are easy to gear when starting out, hopefully the same logic applies! lol

[storm wren]

no idea. My journey in poe is a chaos

I'm struggling in

1. reset passive tree needs orbs of regret
2. 10% experience will be lost once you died in a map

[harsh ravine]

Do skills go to 21 ? I thought they did. In fact I saw mine at 21 but I needed to redo some so I respeec'd - which means they drop back a numbr of levels, depending on how many points you need to redistribute. Since doing that though I have not gotten back to level 21 on any of the skills. I'm at level 97 and was a number of levels lower when I redistributed. I would have thought I would have earned another point in each skill by now ?

[harsh ravine]

If you like to "roll my own build" you can do so, but if you want to see what is out there take a look at LE Tools (lastepochtools.com) or the information on maxroll.gg for some ideas. Sadly Mobalytics don't cover LE (at least not yet)

[surreal verge]

You can only naturally level skills to lv 20, any higher is from a unique or an affix.

[harsh ravine]

An affix on an item or a rune ?

[surreal verge]

An affix on an item.

Example:

[harsh ravine]

I don't follow - where is the stat that increases the skill level by +1 to get me to 21 on all the skills I allocate points to ?

[surreal verge]

It's an affix like the given picture:
The affix in the picture above gives +1 point to fireball. (The left effect)

The affix in this picture highlighted in red gives +1 skill points to all skills with the "Physical" tag.

[median zenith]

LE summoner so much fun! i really enjoyed playing zoomancer necro

[peak brook]

Hey everyone, while waiting for a new league on poe2, I’ve decided to start LE as a new player, I wanted to get an honest opinion on whether ssf or trade is better to start off with? I usually play trade league in arpgs and would really appreciate anyone’s help 🙂 only reason I’m considering ssf is because I’ve heard you get better drops or something?

[toxic echo]

i wouldnt play trade this late into the season...really isnt a good enough player base to really make it worth.

on a normal season start...its totally up you what playstyle you want. yes, ssf get 'better' drops cuz of CoF bonuses. but MG gets to buy w.e they feel the need for. its mostly just a play style choice.

[peak brook]

thanks a bunch! ill be starting ssf then

[faint cape]

Starting SSF and playing a variety of builds is also a good way to gain an understanding of what items are valuable, which helps you more effectively use trade if you ever want to try it out later

[native dune]

Are there any training dummies in the End of Time?

It's a hassle to have to teleport to the Champion's Gate every time I want to factually see which item upgrades my damage.

[dusky kite]

they were specifically removed a few patches ago

when they shifted to shared towns

[native dune]

What do you mean by shared towns?

[dusky kite]

towns used to also be single player instances back in the day

[faint cape]

In online mode, you can see other people in towns

[tranquil pike]

So hypothetically if i made a legendary item using a rogue chestplate with generic affixes and no class specific affixes would the legendary piece still require a rogue to wear it?

[native dune]

Oh ok, I see.

[willow arrow]

If I want to slam an item, I should be upgrading, let's say crit, to the highest rank before slamming right?

[toxic echo]

yeah you cant adjust them once they are slammed

[willow arrow]

Thank

[dusky kite]

you want to upgrade all the stats on the exalt since the affixes you get from it are random (unless 4 lp)

[faint cape]

No, the legendary only gets the requirements of the affixes that are actually transferred to it. Currently multi-class affixes like %mana and certain attributes don't impose any requirements, but this is a bug that we can expect will be fixed eventually.
Keep in mind that you cannot combine items with conflicting requirements, so if that unique body armor has a class requirement and it's not rogue, you will not be able to combine it with any rogue body armor even if that rogue armor has no rogue-only affixes on it.

[tranquil pike]

Thank you!

[kind spade]

Hello where can i post my ingame name so that other players can see my gear and passive tree?

My build needs some fixes

[tranquil flicker]

The appropriate class channel should be fine: #🧙┃mage #💀┃acolyte #🔪┃rogue #🔱┃sentinel #🐺┃primalist

[harsh ravine]

Use LETools instead - you can import your build into the site and then post the URL to your build for others to look at and comment on.

[wooden lily]

Would this be worth playing in a rog ally x?

If I added keyboard and mouse since it seems controller isn’t the best yet

[south tree]

have had LE for a while but only just got around to playing it, as a POE vet, whats the meta class/mastery for map blasting and clear speed currently?

and no "whatever you like the most is the best" BS lol, im asking for a meta, not a reddit guide

[storm wren]

I just know meta casters, frostclaw sorcerer and profane veil warlock

[south tree]

good starting place so thank you, ill give them a look

[mossy shadow]

Popular one would be:
1.) Ballista Falconer
2.) Mana Stacking Static Orc Sorc

3.) Torment Warlock

The Mana stacking Stacking static orc sorc i mean is releted to what Kirra said, Frostclaw Sorc.

[south tree]

i see, many thanks

[storm wren]

👀 no meta builds for shaman now?

[mossy shadow]

uhm... Storm Totem Shaman, i guess?

Basically something like Ballista Falconer coz you put totem down and everything around it dies lol

i just watch Aaron's summary on Mike's livestream.

we might see a Forge Guard that uses 2 handed weapon + Shield, sounds nutty

[sonic saddle]

er, those 3 builds are kinda far beyond anything shaman gets

like sol raven kinda asked about the best pushing/farming builds in the game full stop and nothing shaman can do is that

[south tree]

just made a sorc and LMB isnt making my character move

is this a bug or?

[storm wren]

oh... No convert damage node in summon storm totem... emmm pure cold damage is impossible for shaman? I mean stack freeze multiplier and chill chance

[south tree]

yep, bugged. had to go into the settings to rebind. it was set to LMB but it only worked after i exited settings

[mossy shadow]

Welcome to last epoch, good time to be familiarize with the game before season 2 is out

[south tree]

oh wait what the CENSORED CUSS WORD, its not bugged, i just cant move if i click too far from my character...

cant cuss in a game about killing things, also very cool

great intro to this experience 😂

okay, i can move by clicking far, but some of my inputs dont work
is this game bugged as poop or is it just me?

like did my install just CENSORED up and a reinstall will fix this, or is this just how its going to be?
back to not moving at all again.
verified integrity after a relauch, seems to be working fine now so i think im good

[storm wren]

@inner mountain Make sense, I'm interested in minion damage so I'd like to learn their difference but melee damage isn't my tea all the time so...

Alright still no reason I can find to inspire me playing spellblade

on the other hand, as we mentioned minion damage, shaman's totem builds looks interesting 🤭

[inner mountain]

hope you enjoy it! if you're looking for minions spellblade is definitely not the place to look

but if you want to clap enemies with your magical blades, it's worth checking out shatter strike

[storm wren]

Minion damage have obvious difference too, physical/necrotic minion damage for necromancer, physical/poison minion damage for beastmaster, lightning/physical/cold minion damage for shaman

I just not interested in bashing enemeies by myself directly or I must close to the enemy to attack

[inner mountain]

i think spellblade feels quite distinct from the other melee classes as well, for one thing they have huge aoe so they don't have to run up quite as close as sentinel usually has to 🙂

[south tree]

aside from the rough start with bugs i had, this game seems like a nice and comfy ARPG to relax after POE map blasting. how intense does the endgame compare to POE?

hate to try comparing them, but, you know. kind of hard not to

[inner mountain]

depends what you mean by intense, there is less to do overall in terms of giga-investing in a single character (you can still do this but the challenges are all self-inflicted after a certain point) but what is in place is plenty challenging especially coming in fresh

[hallow sorrel]

End game is a bit slow and steady compared to PoE, but there are supposed to be some big changes and updates happening with the new Season. So we will see what we get with that.

I am looking forward to it.

[inner mountain]

and the systems that do exist all feel fresh and well integrated because they were all built in a relatively similar timespan as opposed to integrated in over the course of many years

[faint cape]

Much more chill than PoE, a lot more friendly for making your own builds

[inner mountain]

also we're getting a huge update in april so it's good timing to just come into the game and try out different masteries and feel out what you like, there's a very wide variety of builds that you can put together and the game is pretty forgiving especially during the campaign and early endgame towards experimenting and finding your own builds

[hallow sorrel]

Except Lagon.....he's a bully

[inner mountain]

Shhhhh

[iron gust]

Hello everybody... if sentinel items might have a nice prefix and I will scrap this prefix and i will have a shard of this prefix 🙂 can I apply this prefix on my marksman helmet?

[desert tree]

No

[surreal verge]

No, the class requirement is always respected.

[icy drift]

You won't get as much density as a juiced Poe map but it has infinite scaling so you can make it as "intense" as you want, pretty much all enemy attacks are avoidable with good movement

Also I have no clue what's going on with your inputs

[mossy shadow]

why can't season 2 come online already. haha

[toxic echo]

its really really not ready yet. lol

its only 45 days

[opal nest]

on what corruption we can access Forgotten Knight Faction?
The quest leading to Forgotten Knight Faction still unavailable to me

[mossy shadow]

when you do your last lvl 90 mono

first harbi will show up and you go to middle

and there you go, you have FK faction

[sly fable]

@storm wren #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
Since I didn't see an answer there:
People's fantasy and appeal for a particular character extends beyond "will I be melee or range" and "what type of damage will I do". Mage's and Sentinel's are clearly very different aesthetics. One is a mage, the other a soldier.

[storm wren]

yeah melee mage isn't very successfully unless a game studio will choose that instead of a pure caster mage appear in the game manner, that's my opinion.

I just have no idea why fans of casters will like to try spells + melee... There are many reasons why they are fans of casters only, but this class corrupt edge of paradise for pure magic.

Why I understand and can accept lich as a melee character is that big axe is iconic for death reaper indeed so melee is no doubt (Of course I don't like playing lich so far)

My CPU is burnt when I see there's a character calls spellblade sorry... 😅 😂

[south tree]

Yeah me either lol, but got it resolved luckily.
as far as density that's good to know. Every now and then, I look for an ARPG to relax to that isn't too far off the cuff from POE and LE may end up as that game. Not a fan of D4 (or blizzard for that matter) and LE is checking off a lot of boxes for me, and with the new update planned for the near future, it has my intrigue anyways.

One thing I do want to know, is if there is a collection of dev statement or responses to the community regarding things they wanted to see and things the dev plan on adding. Whether it be a roadmap or just a spreadsheet of those responses, either works. I tried finding something like this but could only find a tidbit here and there, so if it doesn't exist then whatever, but if it does, that'd be a great read.

[tribal meadow]

You're the type of person LE was made for, you'll gush when you start interacting with crafting

Also lemme fish out the roadmap from few months ago

[south tree]

Ah wonderful

[south tree]

Much appreciated. I saw a roadmap or two before but they were all outdated

[somber tartan]

Might be a really dumb question but since when is there DD in LE? I have almost 1000h mainly in HC and this is the first time I die to this. No dmg mods low corruption and this hit for around 8k dmg (as my flameward popped)

[icy drift]

If you have any questions to the devs feel free to ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs or tune in to mikes friday streams on twitch and ask questions there

note however that if there's something you'd like to see that's not in the game, please just post a suggestion in the #1210282176680169562

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs isn't really for giving suggestions or feedback but more a place to ask about existing mechanics/choices, nothing there gets logged

[tribal meadow]

The one I posted it pretty outdated too, there's a new season coming out in April, the game is currently very light on content

You'll have fun for 50 hours for sure, but you'll end up wanting more and there isn't much atm

[toxic echo]

since always. there are a few mobs that explode on death. only 2 really matter, the fire dogs and the poison dogs

that one looks like a fire lithrac tho...those do fire explosions on hit as well

[icy drift]

that's not actually DD , smoldering lithracs have a retaliate skill that procs on hit, that's what that is

[restive epoch]

All my homies hate smoldering lithracs...

[icy drift]

but yeah there are other enemies with DD

[icy drift]

frfr ong

[toxic echo]

lithracs are hella annoying

[tribal meadow]

People know names of mobs

[somber tartan]

Damn thanks. Idk if it's more impressive that I didn't know about them or that I haven't died to them before

[toxic echo]

thts when you know its a problem. lmao

[tribal meadow]

Green doggie, walking coffin, porcupine guy

Canon thingy

Dinosaur

Big dinosaur

[icy drift]

trust i don't know all the enemies names

[restive epoch]

Fire farting dinosaur

[icy drift]

smoldering lithracs are the exception not the rule

[tribal meadow]

Flower guy

Tentacle guy one eye

[somber tartan]

How intended is that they do more dmg than t4 julra?

[restive epoch]

Some mobs just do dumb amount of high damage, idk... smoldering lithracs, fire mages, flower bombardants

Coffin boyz remind me of this DS2 enemy... Im sure they are cousins

[tribal meadow]

As much intended as random one shots in other ARPGs, systems interact chaotically and roll you in edge cases

[opal nest]

is the Minimum LP on Loot Filter bugged?
i try to set it to 3 but it always keep going back to 2

[tribal meadow]

Damage systems in modern ARPGs are like handmade Swiss watch, you tweak one set of gears to fix problem no. 44223 and 3 gears on the other side pop out and the watch starts spinning backwards

[somber tartan]

Yea was so confident there is no way my hp moves I was carrying all my lp gear in the inventory cuz I was gonna run julra later

[tribal meadow]

Comes with hardcore, the game can't be perfectly consistent to be fun

People playing hardcore are a different breed, I don't have the patience (or time) to put into that

[somber tartan]

It's a bit like an addiction, once you get used to HC and especially manage to do everything on HC you can;'t go back

But if there is one ARPG where SC can be fun it's def LE

[somber tartan]

Are there any tanky rogue builds I can play with this? I have played rogue like 0.5 times

[dusky kite]

true but on the flip side the actual lore/themes of LE classes is extremely thin. For example in a warhammer game I can be a warrior priest of Sigmar and that has its own cool themes, pathos, beliefs, history, organization, that kind of thing. Who is a spellblade in Last Epoch? A weirdo from the College (who? what?) with a sword

so yes in LE it does boil down to "what kind of damage you want to be dealing"

[storm wren]

😂 ...This is a long story if EHG explain where all of characters come from and their experience before come to Eterra

[surreal verge]

This is not really good.

[somber tartan]

Oh welp, was hoping the +1 and the haste would make it a good 4lp

[lean locust]

Is there a database or link for all idols and their prefix/suffix?

https://lastepoch.fandom.com/wiki/Idols

This has some - but not an in depth breakdown from what I can see

[harsh ravine]

Can the Egg in the Nemesis be used to change the applied stat - Chance to Blind .... I think this is how I upgraded the bow in the first place. I need Critical Strike Chance (and Increased Bow Attack speed would be nice). If I can change that stat is would be handy

[somber tartan]

Is this what you mean https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/category/idols11/items

[lean locust]

Exactly!

Thank you!

[somber tartan]

Np

[dusky kite]

they didn't come to eterra, they are all natives. But we used to have (somewhat janky) intro videos that gave you at least a little background on your character

[desert tree]

No

[inner mountain]

best leveling item of all time, get an exalted chest with vitality health , increased health, and strength and slam it in there and you'll never die in the campaign again

[storm wren]

What happened if your IP is being affected by Google Cloud?

[storm wren]

Ok good news is I updated my network properties then all of regions under the same case.
🫡
For DNS, Google work for me but cloud is timed out

[sly fable]

Oh. Well, I'd just say your opinion doesn't represent everyone. The melee spell mage is an extremely common fantasy. It's addition makes perfect sense to me and isn't surprising in the least.

[faint cape]

Yup, very popular class fantasy. Same kind of appeal as things like jedi in Star Wars.

[restive epoch]

It all still looks super high 🤔 ?

Not much better, but at least my main server is in green numbers 😄

[crude grotto]

I just went on my legacy roster and my COF reputation was reset. Is this design intentional?

It’s brutal to try and play that character. It can’t use the gear for one being rep too low. Then I try to scale down corruption and have to kill 4 of those dudes with no gear.

[median zenith]

On legacy, go to your stash and select the season from the dropdown where you got your CoF ranks, then click the merge button. That will move over all of your gold, faction progress, and stored materials to your legacy stash.

[crude grotto]

Clicked it nothing happened. Maybe I jaked it up by playing

[median zenith]

Are your CoF ranks there now? It doesn't have any feedback on the button press yet. We have plans to improve the UX for this process, but I don't have a timeline for when that will happen.

[crude grotto]

Oh it did work. Needed to refresh

I love you

[median zenith]

Glad I could help 😄

[crude grotto]

Life saver

[lilac socket]

should I have a waypoint/travel to these 3 places (red arrow) ? not sure if every place on the map should have one or not

[dusky kite]

the ones that have unlockable waypoints have the compass icon

which is highlighted for actually unlocked waypoints

like in the zone you are currently in

[lilac socket]

oh the little compass icon, gotcha

thanks :)

[acoustic thicket]

What does this even mean?

You started the campaign but never finished? XD

[harsh ravine]

Anyone know if you can search LE Tools for implicits ? Was looking to see if a specific implicit on a quiver exists on any other type of gear

[faint cape]

Not restricted to implicits, but you can search the whole stat basically

and everything with that stat anywhere on it should pop up

[harsh ravine]

I thought so too but it doesn’t show up. I just entered “More Global Conditional Damage” in the search bar and got nothing. I know it is on an exalted quiver, so I’m curious why it did not show up 🤔

A Spidersilk quiver to be specific

[faint cape]

You have to search it the way it appears on the item

iirc there's a way to search using regex, but I can't remember

like if you enter "more Damage to Slowed Enemies"

or shorten it to "more Damage to" will probably get you close enough

leaving it not specific to slow

[harsh ravine]

I tried a few combinations. Give it a try. Maybe I have sausage fingers or something 🤣

[faint cape]

I just did both, they work well to me

(don't enter the " " in the search bar, just in case you're doing that)

"more" damage stats are pretty sparse on items since they are so strong

[sonic saddle]

"More damage" is non-existent in implicits

[faint cape]

Not entirely

[harsh ravine]

What did you put in the search bar ?

[faint cape]

more Damage to

[harsh ravine]

Does that show the implicit I mentioned - with Global Conditional Damage” ?

[faint cape]

It's only the spidersilk quiver and kolheim axe

[faint cape]

It shows the spidersilk quiver

"global conditional damage" isn't a stat

[harsh ravine]

This is the only thing I see

This is the stat I'm looking for

So that search doesn't pop up anything

[faint cape]

Is that from in game?

because if so, it has a nonsense stat that definitely should be bug reported 😅

It's supposed to say what LE Tools says, "more Damage to Slowed Enemies"

[harsh ravine]

It is from a maxroll build post. Blast Rain Marksman

[faint cape]

Oh, maybe MaxRoll is just bugged then

They really went all in on trying to make their tooltips look similar to in-game lol

[harsh ravine]

Oh - well that certainly doesn’t help if that is the case. How would anyone know, except by doing what I did and double check elsewhere

I’d post in maxroll discord but it’s dead in relation to LE stuff

Thanks for confirming my searches were not off then. It really doesn’t exist

[faint cape]

Yeah, not sure... some of the creators that are on the MaxRoll team do frequent here and/or the Reddit, maybe they'd have a better chance at getting it fixed

[harsh ravine]

Or maybe it’s a 1.2 stat …..

😁

[faint cape]

Heh nah, most likely it's just a bug with their translation

since it really doesn't make sense as a stat at all

[thorny hare]

doesn't matter what level i use rune of ascendance does it?

[toxic echo]

Nope

[storm wren]

Yeah I'm figuring out what happened

[storm wren]

Then maybe the reason is I don't watch star wars yet 😂

I just know the light sword ⚔️ is iconic

[dense jay]

Join the dark side

[vagrant canyon]

Is there a way to select/toggle the harbinger crest with a controller? Playing on steam deck and rather not fight one right now. Can't seem to select the toggle in anyway.

[restive epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/spaceballs-star-wars-darth-vader-gif-6016511

[desert tree]

On controller the right stick move a mouse Cursor. Maybe you can do that on steam deck too

[frosty vessel]

Hello fellas. I'm new to the game. I'm in end game. Should my goal be to get to empowered monos?

[restive epoch]

Yea, pretty much... all empowered monos start at 100 corruption, which is basically like a difficulty number... you get more xp, better item loot, ofc enemies do more damage... and bosses have a bit better item drop aswell... also improved blessings from empowered monoliths

[frosty vessel]

Alright awesome.

[dusky kite]

empowered is where most people consider the endgame to start as in normal monos you are still in the early phases of leveling up

[frosty vessel]

So I get to empowered, get to a comfortable corruption by finding shades on the wanted timeline?

[restive epoch]

Yea kinda like that... there is a whole chain of quests for Harbringers that ask you to kill a new harbringer (in another timeline monolith) at bit higher and higher corruption... there is also a catch up mechanic where you push one monolith and in the next one, there will be Shade at the start that lets you set it to somewhat similar corruption level

So you dont have to grind every monolith since corr100 bit by bit

[frosty vessel]

Oh neat

[restive epoch]

And for the harbringers, there isnt really an order of which one you have to kill, the only requirment should be 1) timeline you havent killed a harbringer in yet, and 2) min. corruption which is said at the quest text (I think it rises by 25?)

[vagrant canyon]

Just no way to click with the cursor. However using the touchscreen works

[desert tree]

If you sont mind, make sure to send a bug report
But Ill keep your solution in mind if someone else as the same problem

[cedar locust]

If you put an IGBR in, please let me know your Account name so I can track it down and get it to the team 🙂

[vagrant canyon]

I'll put it through discord unless in game is preferable. Easier to type on my phone than steam deck 😁

[true cargo]

does anyone have success playing this game with nordvpn ? if i am connected to vpn, i cant even login

[cedar locust]

Can you check the Steam control scheme? Just in case anything could be causing this 🤔

[cedar locust]

NordVPN is very unlikely to work with our game servers, in fact most VPNs don't

[native dune]

NordVPN does not work with your game server, I can confirm that.

I wonder if it's a web socket forwarding shenanigan that your server is not handling or handling in a way that rejects forwarding, bastioning or bridging.

I think that might be an issue if you plan on going on console as I believe you will need to go through some custom Xbox/PS network tunnels to connect to consoles.

[clever echo]

someone casually make it the month of release please XD

[cedar locust]

Sorry SgtTurtle, I don't have an Epoch to do that

[clever echo]

i know i lost mine to julra 😦

[restive epoch]

Oh no, she will move us back to 2019...

[clever echo]

1986 more like with the drama around the chernobyl drone haha (not an invite for a political talk just a joke)

i watch all of aarons dev chat recap but cant remember the last time i heard an answer about skill MTX is that still more in the future?

[desert tree]

Last time I heard of it, it was just being worked on
But also I am 99% sure Mike said recently a new type of MTX is coming

[clever echo]

yeah i think it has something to do with that idle teaser with what appear to be webs growing at your feet if you're afk for a few seconds

[desert tree]

Maybe

[clever echo]

dont see how staying still while farming could help unless its part of the new weavers content

or to do with sets maybe they have built in cosmetics

so many potentials it hurts from excitement and dread haha

[somber tartan]

Ah haha close, it was the only class I died on before empowered monos and I just never played it again

[storm wren]

I can't use in-game bug report but I want to attach the screenshot from here, what should I do?

I want to show pings in different regions

[cedar locust]

You can upload the image to imgur/gyazo/etc and then link to it in the IGBR 🙂 We can open those

[storm wren]

how to attach the past email EHG support sent me?

[cedar locust]

You can include the ticket number in the IGBR 😊

[sly sluice]

hi

i havent played in a while and got the urge to play again

any reccomendations?

something ranged and good early and late

[storm wren]

Sent, kirraluan is me

[sly sluice]

dont rly whanna have to try hard had a rough period recently xd

i did multishot last and i loved it

[harsh ravine]

pings aren’t real useful as you do not know the route a ping took to reach its destination. What you really need to do is a trace route to the gateway address (if That is published somewhere). Use a tool such as WinMTR to see each hop and the times for each. That should given a better indication where an issue may be.

[storm wren]

I suppose Muffin know better than me because he's professional so... Let his team to check is better

[mossy shadow]

well since u tried rogue, why not mage this time. Frost Claw Sorc still slap

[sly sluice]

decided opn warlock

i was thinking maybe spark charge

if i have the strenght to make another character i will mage a spark charge sorc i belive

but ty for the reccomendation will try it out sometime

also any specific helm i should use the rune of ascendancy for the boneclam helm thingy

boneclamor barbute

[candid elm]

No, Rune of Ascendance works on general item type. So any helmet + Rune of Ascendance = a random Unique helmet.

For the Armor items the item types are: Helmet, Body Armour, Gloves, Belt, Boots. And the Accessories item types are: Ring, Amulet, Relic.

For the weapons, those are split up into types so that One-Handed Swords and Two-Handed Swords are separate item types.

[candid elm]

I made a Torment Warlock for the 1.0 Cycle and I rather enjoyed playing them. Hope you have a good time : )

[sly sluice]

ty so if i understand the subtype doesnt matter as long as the type is right

i can use an acolyte helmet

[mossy shadow]

you will eventually learn that to farm to 100 and farming endgame gear can be rewarding

have fun man

[sly sluice]

i have played a lot of arpgs and i have played a bit of LE just forgot things cuz i havent played LE in a while

[candid elm]

Yes, any Helmet + Ascendance = a random Unique Helmet. The specific item type of the Boneclamor Barbute Unique Helmet is used only for some Unique Helmets anyway, so you can't get it as a regular item type to use the rune on.

[sly sluice]

i still remember every skill and idol slot quest for efficiency xd

tyvm

[rare burrow]

heyo quick question; does this scaling benefit from normal dmg bonuses or does it need minion specific stuff also do some of the unique effects transfer like x% chance to take no dmg and so on

also do minions benefit from endurance bonuses

[desert tree]

• This node adds extra scaling from your Armor. With your own stats. Minion stats on your Armor will be passed down to the MA's minions
• Very unlikely but cant say for sure
• Yes, I believe so

[rare burrow]

ok wasnt sure about it so i thought better to ask XD tyty

would this affix work with it?

[candid elm]

I think this is based on the weapon you have equipped. The stats on the weapon itself

The Affix you linked above is on Helmet and Body Armor

So you're not going to get that on a weapon itself

[rare burrow]

i know but you can get the stats applied to the minion so it should work right?

[surreal verge]

it would, if the minion could equip a sword.

[rare burrow]

it apperently can thats why i posted the titan sword node?

[surreal verge]

I forgot if someone actually properly tested if it counts as a sword, or if the affix is even transferred properly.

[dusky kite]

Im pretty sure that Mike said that it doesnt

technically

[rare burrow]

D: hope that gets fixed with 1.2

[candid elm]

I get what you're asking, if you get that stat on your armor and will the minion gets it as well. I don't know

[rare burrow]

well it should transfer with the platemail node so yeah

kinda would be nice as it would be a good ammount of base dmg scaling especially on the helmet

[surreal verge]

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

[candid elm]

I know the devs have said some things that you transfer to minions don't do anything, such as +Attributes like +Strength.

[surreal verge]

It doesn't technically count as "equipping a sword"

So that affix would transfer but do nothing.

[candid elm]

Yay, a definite answer

[rare burrow]

it literally says it so yeah maybe they should update the wording on the skill then cause its quite misleading

[surreal verge]

And a follow up: Most unique-only affixes don't work, and all set bonuses don't work.

[rare burrow]

im not overly surprised but it is still somewhat sad

[candid elm]

#1210281911872786482 you can post here for feedback and
#1210282176680169562 here for suggestions

[dusky kite]

lol dont hold your breath MA is the most cursed skill in the game bolted together from shit and sticks

nothing about it works in a way that you'd expect

[sly sluice]

this warlock is insane

crazy fun and crazy strong

[candid elm]

Yeah lots of fun, toss some debuffs and keep moving. They're all dying as you're running around. One rift can often take out whole packs

[worldly fog]

if I empower the harbinger with an item that has LP inside, am I risking it becoming legendary?

[toxic echo]

No

[worldly fog]

awesome thank you!

[floral gazelle]

I randomly decided to play this game a few days ago. Picked up a "Legacy" character I had in full offline mode. Played happily for a few days. Today, steam updated the game. Now the play game button does nothing.

What happened?

I had no power outages, weird crashes, or anything.

[chrome cedar]

Oh. I'm having the same issue too. Only offline though.

My online characters work just fine, legacy and cycle.

[dusky kite]

they are patching it

[chrome cedar]

Patching offline right now, or patching whatever issue the new update created?

I found errors like this in my playerlog for STASH_0_TAB_0 through STASH_0_TAB_3 and restored the backups but that did not fix anything

So I guess there's some incompatibility

[vagrant canyon]

ah ok not just me

phew

[floral gazelle]

Something w. loading the stash got corrupted I guess.

[vagrant canyon]

yeah seems right

[chrome cedar]

Oh yeah I had to delete and restore from the backup 3 stash tabs already.

[vagrant canyon]

creating a new offline char didnt work

i played with backups a little. but after the main stash didnt work. i was at a loss

[chrome cedar]

The amount of experience I've gotten reading the error log this week... 😒

[vagrant canyon]

haha. they're not good

[floral gazelle]

I created an offline in "Cycle" and it loaded.

But whatever, I'll just wait.

[chrome cedar]

Yeah what I do is delete whichever save stash tab the game tells me is corrupted and then copy paste the backup, then delete the ' - .bak' and load an online character for the steam files to figure it out.

[vagrant canyon]

ah i couldnt find such detail about what wasnt working

[floral gazelle]

to be honest that all sounds really complicated to fix an issue with a game, and I'm a SWE for a living. All I did was click "Update" in steam. I've read like 5 different explanations for how to fix it

[chrome cedar]

I mean I was hunting down a 100% crash chance in all dungeon issue that was half on me and half on the devs lol

So that's what started the digging in the logs.

Did you know they identify this cycle as tuna? 😂

[floral gazelle]

I did not even crash. Half of the issues related to corrupted stashes seem to complain that they had a power outage

I exited the game normally to make lunch. come back, update in steam, char is bricked

[chrome cedar]

Yep same.

It did let me create a character, then bricked on the load in cinematic.

[floral gazelle]

Oh well

[chrome cedar]

I'm miffed my online characters still work as they aren't the ones I want to play.

[floral gazelle]

Yea I mean I was bored with POE2 so I spent the last 2 days leveling this. so obv that's the one I want to play. Lol

[chrome cedar]

haha yeah I was going to start a new character and my offline cycle stash is much more extensive, but I might go back to leveling my new monk in poe 2.

[tall talon]

I still can't get into the game, any note on when it is going to be fixed?

[tranquil flicker]

The Patch has been released, if you haven't done so already verifying your game files on Steam after downloading the Patch may assist.

[tall talon]

I did as you instructed but still in char selection ( offline mode) when I press enter game it does nothing. Anything I'm missing here?

[tranquil flicker]

Is it an infinite loading screen? If so, this might help https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412

[tall talon]

No, it does not even go to loading neither offline or online mode

[inner mountain]

@elfin hamlet it works in the live game as well - bug is fixed

[tranquil flicker]

Are you playing in Offline mode or True Offline?

[tall talon]

Just normal offline.

[torn sierra]

Offline characters are currently unplayable, the latest patch seems to have added a new bug that prevents the game from transitioning from the character selection screen into the game itself after clicking "Enter Game". This is the case for both normal offline and true offline.

[tall talon]

It's the same for online mode for me as well

[native dune]

So a patch that you need to be online to download turned off the offline features? This code is getting sentient.

[tall talon]

Please disregard the online mode comment it worked now

[tranquil flicker]

To load into True Offline, from the steam menu, click on the gear to the right. From the Settings menu, under Launch Options, select Full Offline and then boot the game in order to play fully offline.

[floral gazelle]

For me it's the opposite of what was being said here as I mentioned above - was playing offline (steam pop-up option) on a legacy character until the patch today, which broke it. The enter game button now does nothing and the player log is throwing errors on stash tab files

[tranquil flicker]

If you still have issues with logging into your character after veryinfying your game files, please consider submitting an In Game Bug Report. Not only will your written report assist, but the player logs attached will greatly help the Dev team be able to look into what might be occuring.

[floral gazelle]

I'll try logging a report in game then

[floral mesa]

If it's throwing errors on stash tab files it might be a corrupted save, have you done the troubleshooting for that?

[floral gazelle]

Tried replacing every file and renaming the bak files. Didn't seem to make a difference. And in all honesty, nothing was wrong before. No crashes, no power outages. Got up to make lunch, came back, patched, now can't get to a loading screen with existing character

The only thing that works is making a new offline cycle character which I don't want to do

Can't identify anything "wrong" with any of the local files. Not that I'd really know what to look for

Honestly that's something I'd expect the steam file integrity checker to find and fix.

[floral mesa]

If it's true offline it might be local save data and the steam integrity may not clock it. But if you did the file deletion/replacement and it's still having issues then if you're able to put in a support ticket with your log file and saves file we can try and manually look into it

[floral gazelle]

I will say it's an older character from last year. Probably should have just started over but I didn't think twice

[floral mesa]

No worries, I'm guessing it may have something to do with the stash data but if you want I can look further into it if you put a support ticket in

[amber void]

a friend made a character in hardcore cycle, and just told me he got transfer to legacy, is that because the cycle ended or or something else?

[toxic echo]

yeah. transfers to legacy only happens on season reset

[amber void]

he made the character yesterday

[toxic echo]

if the HC died in season, itd just go to sc season

[vagrant canyon]

sent a bug report as well. hope it helps

[toxic echo]

the only reason it'd go to legacy is if it was around last season, or if it was made in legacy yesterday and didnt notice

maybe something weird happened with the servers today, and you can have him fill out a bug report and stuff.

[amber void]

ok, i'm telling him to do that

[indigo sapphire]

why can i not access the bazaar after switching from CoF?

[amber void]

update: his character returned to cycle, but he have a screenshot when it was moved to legacy

[toxic echo]

weird. lol

[faint cape]

Did you join MG after leaving CoF, and are you playing an online character?

[indigo sapphire]

i did join after leaving, and i thought i clicked online. i'll double check

it said i was playing online, but i clicked offline and back to online just to make sure

and still can't visit the bazaar

but it's giving me rep for it

[faint cape]

Oh, can't visit? You may just need to walk there to unlock the waypoint

[indigo sapphire]

woof

haven't reached that part of the campaign on this character. might have to just progress like a normal character

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, that's it. I'm pretty sure next season they are changing that so as soon as you join a faction on an alt character, you get the waypoints

[indigo sapphire]

that's so weird. probably gonna have to ask in global for someone to get me a wp

[faint cape]

yeah, that's the quickest way to get there for sure

[indigo sapphire]

are the servers borked? there is literally nobody talking in global

[tranquil flicker]

No, I see people talking. You can attempt to relog and if you still don't see chat after some time, please consider submitting an In Game Bug Report so that the back end can look closer on what might be going on.

[indigo sapphire]

ok will do.

[tranquil flicker]

Also, please ensure that your game has been updated to the most recent patch.

[indigo sapphire]

i definitely did all that over the last few minutes. re-logged, checked online status, checked for update. i'll check again to make sure tho. thank you.

[indigo sapphire]

was there a patch to download with the server restart today? or was that only backend?

it says the last update for me was 2/6

[tranquil flicker]

There was a Patch that was just released today, I'd recommend verifying the integrity of your game files in order to force it to update in case it's needed and ensure the files are compiled correctly. If it continues to have issues after that, then I'd say to please submit an IGBR.

[indigo sapphire]

ok, that may be my issue then. i'll verify and see if i can rectify the issue on my own.

[indigo sapphire]

verified game files, still having issues. gonna just submit a bug report on it.

DID get an update tho

[random tapir]

[chrome mauve]

Hello quick question is it optimal to follow a leveling build as you progress into campaign before transitioning into a endgame build, beacuse i was following a llich build and it was misserable but my necro and warlock were fine to level with the main buiild and if it is optimal to use a leveling build when is it optimal to transtion it like at which level?

[unkempt flame]

was the latest patch a cycle reset?

[storm wren]

mastery is permanent choice

[faint cape]

No, next reset is coming 2 April for Season 2

[faint cape]

I never bother using a build just for leveling personally, what's optimal is just whatever is fun for you personally

But if you do use one, the optimal swap time just depends on what build you want to swap to. If you're following a guide, hopefully it tells you when that is.

[candid elm]

you don't have to follow a leveling guide if you don't want to. a lot of end game builds are setup for 75+ and sometimes you need a specific item or items to use the build.

[scenic charm]

Does anyone have any info on this newest patch breaking offline characters? Currently can't enter game on any character

[sonic kestrel]

i logged in and all my characters were gone

idk what is happening right now

[outer parrot]

Its been a bit and I am wanting to get back into LE - I wanted to know if LE added WASD movement into the game as an option. When I tried it in PoE 2, I fell in love and didnt realize how different it feels in an ARPG.

[scenic charm]

No WASD unfortunately

[outer parrot]

Gotcha - Thanks for letting me know! Hopefully a feature that can be added in the future. Got spoiled by it lol

[prisma dove]

+x Throwing Damage is what type of damage? Physical? otherwise it would state Fire Throwing?

[tender rapids]

is there anything new in this update? no league yet right?

[surreal verge]

Adaptive. It will follow the skill's damage type. (Like +X melee damage)

[surreal verge]

It's effectively a hotfix patch

[tender rapids]

ty

[prisma dove]

thats what i was figuring out ty ty

[tribal meadow]

Maxroll guides straight up tell you when to switch

[dusky kite]

depends on the build entirely, some builds cannot function at a low level, but for most if not all classes doing something ultra-specific for leveling is not required, just pick any viable skill (which should be most of them) and go

[dusky kite]

they said "they are working on it" so check back in a few years

[kind spade]

guys sometimes when i run the game it shows and error and it auto exits

it doesnt even get to login screen

[restive epoch]

Yeah same... but when I start it the second time its fine for me 😄

[cedar locust]

Open Task Manager and check for UnityCrashHandler, if you find it, end it

[next yoke]

After logging in, selecting a service and character, it doesn’t connect, is this the case for everyone?

[desert tree]

Seems to be a new bug for offline cycle character

[dark leaf]

Forcing people to play online.. The shame.. (joke ofc)

[kind spade]

what is unity?

the graphics engine?

[dark leaf]

I do wish they could make cosmetics work in offline when speaking of the modes.. Some armours and weapons look so lame

[desert tree]

Game engine, not just the graphics

[kind spade]

lol i thought my gaming PC is just too bad

i spent 1500 euro building it

[storm wren]

Which GPU are you using

I don't think your budget is low

[kind spade]

RTX 3070

looks like Nvidia app can cause the game to crash

while maps or monoliths are loading

i keep getting errors from Nvidia app

and my game crashes

probably Nvidia doesnt like Unity engine

im preety sure 8 gigs of video ram are more than enough for this game

i had to start the game 8 times in order to be able to play 30 minutes

[storm wren]

Yeah none of offline mode work for me

[cedar locust]

#💬┃general message

[kind spade]

i see that Nvidia app can cause crashes to the game

i have serious issues with this

probably due to overlay

[storm wren]

😅 Is it? I never meet crash issue with Nvidia app

572.42, oh GPU driver release a new version

[harsh ravine]

Why is a grand reward locked. This is an empowered monolith boss fight. Shouldn't all grand rewards be available at this point

[dusky kite]

the last slot unlocks at 200 corruption

[candid elm]

3x Blessing choices, regular monolith.
4x Blessing choices, empowered monolith.
5x Blessing choices, 200+ corruption empowered monolith.

You're not missing out on anything outside of an extra "roll" / choice.

[harsh ravine]

Thanks all. I’m not desperate for it but that last one is a hefty bonus to Lightning resistance

[faint cape]

The blessing options you get to pick from are randomized. So if you want the lightning res one, having a 5th slot just incleases the chance it'll appear.

TunkLab has the chances for any particular blessing drop calculated for 3, 4, and 5 slots

[frosty vessel]

Im trying to install raxxanterax's loot filter but I'm an idiot. how do I do it?

from pastebin

[candid elm]

This is page Father was referring to https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timeline/ending_the_storm
Goes from a 40% to 46.7% chance

[toxic echo]

you dont install anything. it should just be a text file....just put it in the filter folder in LE

[indigo sapphire]

you can also copy/paste it in-game if that's available

[toxic echo]

also true

[candid elm]

You can copy the text from pastebin, make a new filter and choose the paste from clipboard option

It's easiest if you pick raw on pastebin, then you can Ctrl+A to select all and then Ctrl+C to copy

[frosty vessel]

my monkey brain did it

[polar rain]

This has persisted btw. I have submitted a support request with details

Not asking for answers just letting you know the problem is still a thing 👍 No pressure

Maybe should have been a bug report, I can do that too

Oh wait this is the wrong channel sorry! I did a message search and didn't read closely enough

[tranquil flicker]

No problem, if you can submit an In Game Bug Report it would be greatly appreciated!

[scenic charm]

Does anyone have any idea how to manually fix a corrupted stash tab save file?

[candid elm]

Can you use one of the backup saves? As in copy the name of the corrupted, rename the corrupted to something else, then rename the backup to what the corrupted one was labeled.

[scenic charm]

The .bak file contents look exactly the same

[frigid badge]

I really hope the offline stash gets fixed next patch 🙏🏼

[desert tree]

Whats up with offline stash ?

[scenic charm]

Prevents you from Entering the Game after the new patch

Ive only been able to enter the game after deleting my stash files

[desert tree]

Oh! Is that the issue that has been preventing everyone to start offline ?

[scenic charm]

which I dont want to continue playing without so I just added them back

Pretty sure as I was able to recreate it last night

[desert tree]

Interesting

[scenic charm]

I can create new Legacy characters just fine offline

But I obviously want to play my other characters with my full stash enabled

lol

[frigid badge]

Oh my issues are different. The stash tab order isnt preserved sometimes and some tab collections can't be deleted.

IIRC its something to do with steam cloud?

[scenic charm]

You can try it to, but if you have steam sync on, you have to tab out on the character selection screen and delete it to enter the game

Ive had that issue too, but read that it was a common occurrence online so I just dealt with it as it was mildily annoying at best but still allowed me to play the game

[frigid badge]

Oh its an online issues as well?

[rancid magnet]

Is last epoch and diablo 4 friendly towards casual arpg player like myself and not as hardcore as path of exile 1 or 2

[desert tree]

LE is very casual friendly I would say

You can respect every thing but your mastery, so you cant really brick your character

Early game is easy enough to give you time to get a grasp of how things works

[frigid badge]

Last Epoch is typically portrayed as being a good middle ground between the simplicity of Diablo and the complexity of PoE.

IMO it has the best crafting, loot filters, and respects your time.

People generally criticize the end game but I think Harbingers and Nemesis added quite a bit to the experience. I can only imagine it will get better in Season 2 (April)

[rancid magnet]

Ok thanks

Am.just curious cause I tired poe never really finished dit

I think I am lvl 20 or 26 I think

With my ranger

[floral gazelle]

So do you guys think if I delete my stash files I can get in? My character will be okay?

I was still leveling so there wasn't much in my stash I cared about.

Sucks for people who were affected though

I guess the thing I'm wondering is what will happen to my stash in game. If I will be able to buy a stash again and if that will just break me again

[scenic charm]

I was able to get in by doing that last night

But it looked like I had to rebuy my stash tabs, I lost all my gold and then lost all of my materials.

I would just back it up to be safe and you may have to turn off steam cloud sync, but I don't know if its worth it until theres an official response/fix

[floral gazelle]

Losing materials would be a bummer

[faint cape]

Yeah, gold and materials are all in your stash. Not sure if discovered blessings and faction progress is in that same file, but might be?

[scenic charm]

The only thing I didn't lose was anything currently equipped via that method

so idols/gear, I just started playin again so I only have a level 40 character, but it seriously killed my groove lol. I was taking a break from PoE2, but looks like I'll just hop on PoE2 again until there is a fix.

[tall talon]

Hi, how Can i delete the stash files so i can play offline again?

[scenic charm]

You have to go to the local saved data folder Enter C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

they will have "STASH" in front of the file name

Like this

You should back up your files just in case and you will have to do it while the game is running especially if you have steam sync on otherwise, Steam will just replace the deleted files. Youll know it worked because youll be able to enter your game

[tall talon]

Thank you very much

[scenic charm]

Good luck

[tranquil flicker]

Agreed on backing up your files: Once you delete these files they are gone forever if you do not make a backup. They are locally saved to your computer, we do not have access to offline saves.

[tall talon]

Anyway to save the faction progress when deleting the stash files?

[chrome cedar]

Anyone else able to get in game on offline characters?

[toxic echo]

known issue being looked into. you can read directly above this if you want more info

[chrome cedar]

I did read that after I posted lol

Sigh. And I crash constantly in online so even if I wanted to play those characters...

[tall talon]

Well it bit the bullet and deleted stash files. Now I'm trying to get COF rank up so my remaining items can work

[chrome cedar]

oof.

[tall talon]

Oof indeed, 4m + 15k mats gone 😅

[chrome cedar]

Big oof.

I'm just gonna save a copy of my stashes and play another game until/if they fix it.

[tall talon]

Given how relatively close we are to new cycle i think it's not gonna happen before that. But I hope I'm wrong

[chrome cedar]

Yeahhhhh it's just frusterating as I really want to play the game, but I had to jump through hoops to get my game working enough to play dungeons, and not a couple days past when I finally figured that one out, they push an update and now I can't play my characters at all.

On the plus side with offline you can 'cheat' and recreate your tabs if you know how. I don't know how to re configure them that way, but it sounds like someone above in the chat did that.

[tall talon]

I think you have to be true offline for that to work and it's only a chance. But with nemesis and loot lizards at least you can get some uniques and affix shards back quickly

[chrome cedar]

Yeah there is that! And honestly I'm not sure the requirements.

[faint cape]

True offline and offline + social stuff are the same thing and use the same save files

[scenic charm]

Yeah I don't really want to cheat, I just want my solo self found shitty loot back hahahaha

[faint cape]

Yeah, I think editing your save file to restore a save that got corrupted by a game update is a pretty legitimate use of file editing (not that you'd get in trouble for it either way in offline mode)

Hard to say how to fix it though without knowing what exactly in the file is causing the problem post-update

[tall talon]

Off topic question, is the rank grind for the faction affected by enemy lvl? I mean is it better to farm lvl 90 monolith or lvl 62?

[faint cape]

The rank grind is based on xp, so yes grinding higher level enemies will get you there faster

[tall talon]

Understood thank you

[faint cape]

worth noting that you get rank progress (reputation) for both gaining favor (which is directly related to xp gain) and spending that favor

[tall talon]

I just want to get to rank 5 so my items will work again, and then i can farm high lvl areas for uniques and mats. Thank you for the input.

[floral gazelle]

Yeah I'm going to back up my saves folder and remove the stash

I was just leveling up anyway. If my character is eternal and not Cycle then what am I missing out on offline? It's an old character from a long time ago

I mean it says the cycle started last July... is there any way to just move this character from Legacy to Cycle or am I stuck leveling up again? Assuming I'm missing out on something I don't want to keep wasting time leveling it

I seem to have access to Nemesis, so I guess I'm fine?

[tranquil flicker]

The only thing available online that isn't in offline mode is MTX items. Pets, armor, portal skins, etc and the Bazaar/ player to player trading.

[tall talon]

So the deleting of files is a one time thing. I logged out to switch characters and it is not working anymore. RIP me

[scenic charm]

You probably have steam cloud on syncing your files

You would either have to delete again or disable

Just keep a backup just in case

[harsh ravine]

Can you not drag stash tabs up and down via the quick view option ? Holy cow it's a pain having to drag a tab back and forth across the top once you have more than a handful of tabs.

[toxic echo]

Thats a fine #1210282176680169562

[tall talon]

Long walk for a short drink of water. Might as well wait for a fix or something. With the new cycle coming having this problem is a deal breaker at least for me.

[scenic charm]

My thoughts exactly I won't be playing until it's fixed. I was going to buy 2 copies for my brother and friend to play (we all just play solo self found and talk on discord) but I'll be waiting to see it gets addressed

[floral gazelle]

Am I missing something? Why am I not getting craft prompts even if I have FP?

Is 2 not enough shards or something?

Oh I'm dumb. I think it's the wrong shard

My b

now i wonder if i made a mistake with the one I picked

[candid elm]

the dash next to the shard means you currently do not have any of those affix shards.

on the right side where it says "cannot be applied", that is because the item already has 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes - which is the normal maximum. if the item had an open affix, you could then apply something.

there are some advanced crafting such as Sealing that would allow you to have an item with 5 affixes, but that's more of an end game crafting thing.

[harsh ravine]

I guess that’s a no 😀 POE has it. I’ll wander over to the suggestions channel then 👍

[lean locust]

What is the range for this setting in the loot filter?

Google gave me 2 ranges. 10 levels or 18 levels?

[candid elm]

it's based on your character level. like when you look at an item and it says Requires Level: X.

[lean locust]

Sorry I just saw I was missing the most important part - Max Lvl Below Character Level - is what I was unsure of,

below

[candid elm]

hmm, those last two sound very similar. let me go test it and see.

[candid elm]

ok highest usable doesn't let you set the value. max level lets you set a value.

example, if you set max level to say 5 and you're 40, then it will just show 35+ probably

[lean locust]

I think the biggest thing I am trying to figure out - would be if it is ideal to hide lower level exalted items?

Or if it would be better to have them limited to a specifc mimimum tier rating.

[random tapir]

Since we're on the subject of crafting, sometimes I'll find an item with let's say, t2 prefix, plenty of forging potential left but I can't upgrade the tier, any reasons why? Char lvl is like 97 and there's no obvious "Can't upgrade due to x" message

don't have an example to hand rn

[candid elm]

i'd do it by tier

[lean locust]

Cool I will test that out! Thank you ❤️

[lean locust]

Foillowing this question - because I was confused about this too

Do you still have forging potential?

[random tapir]

yeah

tbh it could be that the forging potential is lower than the actual cost of forging but it seems like there should be a chance with a glyph of hope cos it could roll 0 forging potential cost?

[candid elm]

do you have any of those shards? if there's a dash next to the shard in the forge window, you're out of those shards.

[random tapir]

ah could also be that

I've picked up thousands of them but it seems some are quite rare 😆

[candid elm]

random example. i can't upgrade the prefix as i don't have that shard, show a dash -. i have plenty of the suffix shard, shows the number i have.

[lean locust]

Ooooh that makes sense! haha

[random tapir]

yeah that's perfect thank you, must be the cause!

[random tapir]

alright chat what am i doing with these

started target farming it for my torment warlock and got it from the first echo cache 😆

is there a specific glove i should look for to make it legendary?

[storm wren]

you're right

[stone island]

Hello guys! I want to make a new character with a good mov speed and clear but to be able to push corruption fast also. I was looking maybe at rogue but i am not sure and i would like some suggestions if anyone has. I have already 3 lich characters and a warlock so i am trying to change to something speedy! Anyone knows what i should make next?

[desert tree]

Falconer has some super strong and speedy options
Sorcerer too

[stone island]

Is shadow dagger falc or bladedancer better for it? Or some other falc build better like bleed or dive bomb?

[spare glacier]

the only downside to falconer is that you might fall in love with it to much 😄 can also recommend ^^

[mossy shadow]

I sure did, and not the Ballista Falconer kind. The Dive Bomb Falconer kind.

[frosty vessel]

is there a trick to finding shade? I'm up to reign of dragons without finding a single one on my beastmaster. I've been actively looking too.

[spare glacier]

shade is always at the outer edges of the mono maps

[desert tree]

Go in a straight line on the web

[candid elm]

just keep in mind that pushing corruption in normal monos is a waste of time, so if you are still in normals your goal should be to get to empowered, not to get to the shade'

Yeah I just found it weird, eventually found like 5 nodes after clearing boss. Was just to test the build and get a prophecy

Also, is there a training dummy of sorts,

[dusky kite]

there are dummies in the arena lobby in champions gate

[faint cape]

It would be nice to have it a little earlier yeah, I'd like the Friday before personally

while Ave is taking notes

[toxic echo]

with it being such a big patch...having the weekend would be nice

[mossy shadow]

IKR?

Sure Dev team and Ave will consider it

SURELY

[cedar locust]

🤷‍♀️

[desert tree]

Honeslty I imagine Mike being the kind of person that will try to sneak in some last minute change on April 1st

[cedar locust]

Unless that change is 'Corrected all spellings of Armor to Armour' he can absolutely NOT 😂

[rich dock]

I havent played the game since release, should I follow a build guide or are things balanced enough where I can just kinda wing it?

[faint cape]

I wouldn't say balance is great right now since there are some outliers that are way OP compared to everything else, but all masteries are viable and you can definitely wing it as long as you read stuff and pick things that go together

[candid elm]

You can also still respec easily, so if your wing it build isn't working out, you can always change it

[storm wren]

how am I know which file is corrupted by opening them with notepad?

lol

The same beginning of poe 2, the first character I played have died plenty of times

[floral mesa]

your player log file will have a better depiction of what is causing an error/it's much easier to read

[storm wren]

oh then this one is suspicious

[floral mesa]

Best way to test it is to make a copy of those tabs and put them elsewhere (I usually stick them in my download folder) and see if your game loads without that tab. I don't recommend straight deleting the files since they are stored locally in your computer so we wouldn't have access to restore it.

If removing them works you can also try and seeing if making the .bak file the main file (rewording it so the extension is gone) and putting that back in the folder still lets you load in. If that's the case then it was the main file that got corrupted.

[dark leaf]

How do I know if a file is corru? Does it say null everywhere?

Corrupted *

[floral mesa]

If you run your player log it will most likely say "error" with what is not able to properly load

[dark leaf]

On steamdeck so not sure how I can do that

[floral mesa]

If you're playing on Steamdeck the log files should be within the game's installation directory (via Desktop Mode).

[dark leaf]

Looking at them like kirra posted pics of

[wide lava]

I've dug into this and I think I have a revelation.

• Wiped stash.
• Created a new character, got it to the Keeper's Camp, put an item in the stash tab 0. Reloads fine.
• Added a stash priority to the stash tab 0. No longer reloads.
  I wonder if removing stash priorities from existing tabs (via editing) will allow existing stashes to load

[dark leaf]

Will check later

[storm wren]

I guess the date is the proof

corrupted files will have different dates

I'm curious about How EHG corrupted so many stash files

[dark leaf]

Same... I'm getting abstinence from this downtime.. I want to play my chars 😭

[wide lava]

OK, I have a functioning workaround!

[storm wren]

I just counted, in total 27 corrupted files in my save file Holy hell

[wide lava]

In each of your STASH_CYCLE_4_0_TAB_n files, look for a "tabPriority":{... some json object...} and change it to "tabPriority":null. Take care not to spill over to the following "savedItems" text. Your offline characters should then load

Your tab priorities will be gone. Do not attempt to restore them until there's a patch, the save / load of those is borked

[dark leaf]

What a legend

[storm wren]

I suppose this case is out of range Ave mentioned because I have no idea which one is normal one

[floral mesa]

Highly encourage to just make copies of any tabs you go to edit. Just for safety since if something happens/a misedit of files then that tab is permanently changed without a backup.

[unreal rock]

it's SO funny if that's what caused it because just before the patch I set up a lot of tab priorities and auto sorting. Thanks for the tip!

[storm wren]

👀 The guy in EHG who write codes for stash system needs a punishment

[unreal rock]

lol if I know anything about programming (I dont) it likely has nothing to do with the stash and is just some random interaction

[storm wren]

The workload just too much if I re-edit all suspicious files and I don't know which one is normal as i mentioned above so...

🤷‍♀️ Wait EHG release a patch is better

I can fix save file issues from character files but stash? Sorry out of my box

[unreal rock]

JK this definitely worked. Thanks!

[faint cape]

Pretty good info though for narrowing down the problem.... something in the update broke tab priorities. I wonder if it's just pre-existing priorities or if you try to remake priorities if it'll lock you out again.

[floral gazelle]

I'm guessing the way priority tabs are being serialized into json is not compatible with how they're being deserialized.

Because I made priorities on a fresh stash last night and it broke me

Yeah, that's definitely it. I changed all my tabPriority fields in the JSON to null and i could load in.

Even managed to restore my old shards and gold that way

Sooooo just don't set anymore priorities till a fix.

For ref, this is what it looks like when "fixed" (i.e. no priorities)

[sleek yew]

April 1st, you must be joking! 😛

[floral gazelle]

"tabPriority":null,"savedItems": ...

[floral gazelle]

Basically this xD

[frosty vessel]

when crafting uniques in the cache, do I need an exalted of the same type?

[scenic charm]

Gonna try this when I get home, that doesn't seem too bad if it actually works. Appreciate it!

[odd reef]

Worked for me, thx !

[restive epoch]

Yes, exalted item of the same type with 4 affixes (sealed affix doesnt count)

[candid elm]

Same general type. Such as 2H Axe -> 2H Axe. Ring -> Ring.

It doesn't have to be say Silver Ring -> Silver Ring. Any Ring works.

[amber void]

when Hollow Lich says all sources of health leech, it also refer to leech on melee, leech on channeling, etc or specifically Health leech without any adaptative damage or tag?

[harsh ravine]

I've whacked Formosus at over 200 corruption (no harbie) 4 times now and the Grand Vigilance of the Damned still hasn't showed up as an option - does this have a lower rating than the other options ?

According to Tunklab it's slightly more than 41% but I've hit 0%. That's some RNG

[toxic echo]

rng does rng things

there is no skewed ratings

[faint cape]

It means all types, so melee leech for example gets converted to generic damage (makes the melee leech weapon affix quite good).
I'm not totally sure how it reacts with conditional leech, but I think for stuff like leech while channeling it'll essentially give you generic damage while channeling. Should be easy to check, the damage increase shows up in the char sheet.

[exotic perch]

is formosus a sussy impostor?

[scenic charm]

Ahhh came home to a hot fix, love it. Thank you Devs!

[stark ravine]

Is Aberroth fixed difficulty in the scheme of things, e.g. does highest corruption timeline cleared or anything like that influence scaling?

[wide sentinel]

no effect

[storm wren]

EHG helped you completed the job

[frosty vessel]

what does this actually mean on Woven Flesh "increased Damage Leeched as Health"

[desert tree]

I am not sure because the wording is a bit different but I believe its like Increased Health Leech

If you have 5% Leech and 20% Inc Dmg Leech , you now leech 5x1.2 > 6%

[frosty vessel]

oh I see

[desert tree]

I am not quite sure

Ill ask Mike for confirmation

Maybe its an Increase to the portion of the Dmg that going to be leeched

[frosty vessel]

It's just more health leeched by the looks of it

[mossy shadow]

Question about re-spec Blessing... are the blessing you wanna re-spec to... always gonna be the highest among the Blessing you got?

Or only the Blessing you received recently?

[toxic echo]

the game remembers the highest your current toon has seen

but will have the lowest roll if other toons in the same game mode have seen it, but current toon has not

[mossy shadow]

OH

Thank you.

Was wondering if it is even worth it to get all the Blessing for collection or maybe target farming

[dusky kite]

not really as most of them are extremely niche and/or fairly worthless (like all the item drop % blessings)

[mossy shadow]

and here i thought the specific item drop % blessing like Quiver, Bow, or any main weapon is good

xD

[proud prawn]

what made you think they are not good?

[dusky kite]

They don't affect uniques and have fairly low impact on exalts compared to market or prophecies

[mossy shadow]

what? really? those doesn't affect unique gear at all?

[dusky kite]

yes because of how the order of drop rolls works, they've explained it in ask devs

a few years ago now

[storm wren]

single for both of them only but it's enough 😆

[mossy shadow]

would be so nice if they add class specific affix on the item lol

[mossy shadow]

if it is a few years ago.. couldn't they have change it already for 1.1

[dusky kite]

maybe for 111.1 if you are lucky

they gave no indication that any changes to these mechanics were made and anything else is idle speculation

[cedar locust]

Well luckily, I'm raising that point with the team today - #💬┃general message

[frosty vessel]

If I use the LP on a unique snd get bad roll, do I need to refarm the unique or can you slam again?

[cedar locust]

Once you've 'used' the LP in the Eternity Cache then it's done

[mossy shadow]

This is why if u get a T7 + T6 of an affixes u want, better use a Rune of Creation just to be safe

I hope what mike said he removing some rune and glyph, he doesn't mean Rune of Creation

[restive epoch]

With my luck most of my last rerolls just go from 12FP to 12... 12 again.. 12 again... and suddenly 0 with nearly the lowest rolls possible 😄

[mossy shadow]

And sometimes u get an ez full max tier gear coz Glyph of Hope decided to 100% proc.

RNG Giveth and RNG Taketh Away

[restive epoch]

Yeah, I wish there was some better way how to control forging potencial

[mossy shadow]

well season 2 does have endgame crafting improvement

for what that is.... we will see

[proud prawn]

my bet is it's something with weaver

[mossy shadow]

well we have a Weaver faction, a Weaver Echo and Possible Weaver dungeon.... SURELY can't be Weaver related right? 🤔

[grim agate]

does volcanic orb have the same damage as frost claw fire?

or is there a way to test skills?

[mossy shadow]

most of the dmg from volcanic orb i tested comes from the orb and ground explosion, melts most big fatty mobs

but a pain for skinny small and fast mob and boss

Frost claw more of a mobbing skill, imo

[grim agate]

i was trying to test some fire mage build

until now i went with volcanic orb / meteor

but volcanic is kinda unreliable

so i wanted to see if i can replace it with something else

forstclaw fire or elemental nova maybe

[mossy shadow]

Blackhole Ignite is quite good too

[grim agate]

but i need use enchant wweapon right?

im going raw dps right now

[mossy shadow]

#🧙┃mage other Mage expert might help with your fire build. I for one is a lightning or frost type of guy

[grim agate]

alright ty

[dusky kite]

hard to say but in ailment builds it should be comparable, direct damage is likely better on claw

[dusky kite]

its probably the worst ignite build on mage, black hole is a big meme and if you want to play that kind of a build, just go with ignite glyph of dominion, it's more or less the same playstyle but better in every way

[mossy shadow]

lol, thats why i point him to the mage experts xD

[random tapir]

how good is this? o.O

[mossy shadow]

Are you a dive falconer? quite good starting bow imo, for the armor shred alone

[random tapir]

yeah that was the plan, i looted it on my torment warlock and never looked at it until checking my bank on lv 37 falconer lool

[mossy shadow]

well don't get hook on falconer

you might never be able to leave

xD

[frosty vessel]

I'm in need of some expertise about swipe

[toxic echo]

either just ask your question here, or hit up #🐺┃primalist

[frosty vessel]

Yeah I did. I'm not sure how much worth phys shred has. I'm new to the game not following any build. Without proper tools it's hard to make calculstions

I would pretty much need the best Swipe dps tree. With swordcatcher I can afford it all, trying renegades will + undisputed now so the skill tree must make sacrifices

I'm doing petless beastmaster with swipe as my only dps button

[storm wren]

melee damage is trash when the character still in the campaign and no gears for melee attack speed bonus

[frosty vessel]

I'm in endgame

I have about 300% or so increased attack speed

[mossy shadow]

@iron gust got this from normal mono run in reign of dragon while just killig a Neme to empowered

So its possible to get 3x T6 affixes, i think.
