Last Epoch

ladder with non hacked characters, but ladder doesn't seem to be up at the moment. So other than server side characters and getting the tradeskill mats rolling into that account, not really?

Lol 15k in queue. Well, good for them I suppose, they’ve made a cool game.

The queue is a bug and not real, if you get this DC and reconnect until you get in. We've had no problems now t hat they've got it sorted other than that bug.

Update: We have mitigated the issues impacting our server capacity, which were preventing players from joining new servers. There are still login queues in some regions, but these queues are now being processed correctly and you should be able to allocate servers.

Multiplayer was smooth, but clicking the zone lines and getting through was a bit sluggish. I kinda liked the style of the old void creatures more. New stuff smells of tencent and "that style".

Solid game nonetheless.

Lightning Shaman is legit. Really having a good time and they kept their player count through the night which is impressive.

I disagree. The old mobs looked like shiny, lumpy blobs from a cheap asset store or something.

Played for a couple hours last night, the graphics updates were pretty nice. The bone golem is badass now. Sounds were better. Performance was fine for me. Good update.

Ya they needed an upgrade but more in line with the original concept imo. Felt more "voidy" and less "purple monster".

Anyone know how the game deals with people at different points in the story? Played to about level 35 or something with my friends and made a Lich, but I don't love it (this could be that I need to find a build for it, but I don't particularly like how it plays).

I want to make a new character, but I'm curious how that'll work if we're not on the exact same story quest.

You can join at either level but it's best to go to the area with the lowest level quests and work your way up. I haven't tried to go the other way, you'll probably get clapped.

This just showed up on best sellers in steam and I had seen the recent chatter here. I assumed it was a new game but looks like it was released in 2019? Is it just the new multiplayer feature that's drawing interest now?

I tried grim dawn a long time ago and refunded it, something didn't grab me.. maybe too complex. Lost Ark was kind of the same thing. I hate having 8 million options to spec my character. I don't really like putting a ton of thought and research into games, and would rather just log in and tear shit up. I liked diablo 2 quite a bit, diablo 3 was fine; nothing special but I at least got my money's worth.

Is this game something that's easy to get into at this point or am I just going to be overwhelmed with spec options and stuff?

I hadn't played this game in a long while and got on last night with the new multi-player patch.

I already liked the game, but they did a great job on improving the graphics , sounds, performance...everything.

This was my favorite arpg prior to the update. Different strokes for different folks, but I'm excited at the progression they have made.

At the end of the day, it's a good time to be a fan of arpgs. Several potentially great games releasing around the same time frame will just push each other to improve over time.

It’s nothing crazy but it is deeper than grim Dawn. Each class has attributes you can put points into that modifies abilities, your health, mana, attack, resistances, your pet abilities, etc. each class also gets a bunch of skills to choose from, but you only use five at any given time so you only focus on those. However, each of those skills has its own skill tree within it, changing its behavior. It’s more complex than Grim Dawn in that way.

It does a decent job at balance though, so you don’t really feel too gimped if you just pick a path within a skill and go that way. Like “I want my golem pet to be a fire golem”, and you just pick points that lead towards becoming a fire golem:

Still tempted to try it based on the hype. I think grim dawn's graphics just didn't grab me either. This one looks a little more vibrant. I'm clearly trying to talk myself into buying a game I have reservations about.

Have they posted any ETA on fixing the online bits? I haven't been able to connect even once since the patch yesterday

If u wanna scout ahead for the team without actually scouting ahead, check out shield charge from sentinel tree in multiplayer lol

If you activate it a second time it sets your "rubber band back" point without you actually traveling (?). Think I was able to pull some bad mobs with it safely.

On that note, watch the hell out using it lol.

Is there a class with a build where I could run around with a fairly large aoe field that debuffs mobs and explodes the ones I kill? I remember in Wolcen I could have such a class, and it was super fun making huge chain reaction kills.
