I’d argue that there’s an additional layer of RNG, as you need to buy the item to see what roll it gets on it’s implicit, whereas before you could see before you buy.
Anyone else notice a big difference in mana usage? Couple of mycharacters are now almost unplayable the way they are currently specced
I had raised this over at the Rune of Removal thread; every single time the devs came to the choice as to whether to give the players more or less RNG, they have picked adding more layers of RNG every single time. No listening to feedback from us, no discussions as to what the proper level of RNG is, but just adding layers and layers of RNG every single chance they had. With this many layers of RNG, the devs must have this vision of making the game a bot’s paradise, where the whales farm with the standard broken build of the month for 400 hours every month, grinding through the incessant RNG to get decent items to add to the fake economy. If we wanted to dependent on multiplayer economies just to gear ourselves properly, we’d play a MMO where we’d at least get the cool raid encounters.
Knowing the implicit rolls was the only good thing about the gambler. Now it’s just as useless as a more impatient type of the regular merchant, where every part of the item is dependent on lever rolls instead of giving us the option to “roll the dice” on an item with good implicit rolls to see if we can make something out of it. I really want to know who is behind making these RNG choices for us. Who out there is saying, “you’re giving the players too much control, gate it behind another layer of RNG?”
A few things as well. Nerfed entamgling roots. Added in new mobs. There was a few surprises. Also my speculation was lead on by devs shootimg dowm incorrect answers lol
Also I think they realized whatever they were secre2tely working on wasn’t going to make it into the patch the thread was closed.
Fixed that for you.

Yeah, the devs need to have a firm grip on what they want their game to look like (in terms of mechanics as well as graphics & gameplay) otherwise if they keep on changing based on the whims of whichever forum warrior (myself included) shouts the loudest it’ll just become a muddled mess.
That said, devs can be wrong. To quote Vir from Babylon 5 - “Well, actually, I believe there are currents in the Universe. Eddies and tides that pull us one way or the other. Some we have to fight, some we have to embrace. Unfortunately, the currents that we have to fight look exactly like the currents we have to embrace. The currents that we think are the one that’s gonna make us stronger, they are the ones that are going to destroy us. And the ones that we think are going to destroy us, they are the ones that are going to make us stronger. Now, the other current–”

Can we know what is the linux issue with this patch?
Since releasing Patch 0.7.6c we have updated to version 2019.3 of Unity.
Currently, our Linux builds are failing due to an issue with the sound system we use, FMOD. The specific error can be found in the first post of this thread on the FMOD forum. We have been in touch with FMOD regarding the issue, and we currently expect their next update to include a fix for this - we have also been provided an ETA of “early April.”
We had explored other options - however we strongly believe in our customers having the best possible version of Last Epoch, and this does mean that we would not be not comfortable releasing a frankenstein “0.7.7” for Linux built using a different game engine version, as this would not have been subject to sufficient QA prior to release.
We are closely monitoring the situation, and as soon as a new version of FMOD is released we will begin QAing it with the aim of releasing an update for Linux players as quickly as possible.

Thanks for the info, looks like FMOD should fix this soon, cheers
Any estimates on when the update will be available for linux ?
Unfortunately there haven’t been any updates since the posts immediately above yours.
We’ll reach out to FMOD again soon if necessary.
