Last Epoch Patch 1.0.2 Notes

So why does this bug fix matter such that all the people who got rank 10 with the bug inherently have more power but you don’t want to bug fix the skills because you don’t want mid season power changes?

@EHG

Any chance we can get a fix for Werebear Druid Rampage Skill ? there is so much that is wrong with it would be nice to play my class without all sorts of issues

They didn’t nerf any builds that weren’t literally causing the servers to crash. That’s about the only acceptable mid-cycle nerf.

They’ve fixed other bugs and unintended interactions, but did not nerf any builds that people have put time and effort into.

This patch is an L for me. “So, these bugged abilities are getting fixed because they’re causing server issues” Cool. “Also we are nerfing Keys and Experience tomes into the ground” Oh, so they were also causing server issues? “No, also we know of other abilities that are bugged that are also crashing the economy, making monoliths worthless, and destroying the integrity of the ladder system, but the servers are fine with those, so they stay.” WTF? I feel like separate teams fixed these and were never read out loud after they were combined. Clear contradictions here. Known Bugs = Fixed is a pretty clear and straightforward policy.

You have the best reason I have seen to argue for nerfing mid-cycle. I don’t agree with it, as it is your choice to not use the skills that the developers have already said they are ok with being bugged, but it is a good logical reason for how the bug does affect your choices.

How many problems are caused or exacerbated by allowing faction switching? Please put on your big boy developer pants and separate MG and CoF. This was the whole point of the faction system. You pick which you want with a character just like your mastery and that’s a final decision.

Tune CoF to the point you feel that it’s rewarding enough (but not equal to MG) by comparison and ease up on the buying/selling restrictions for trading in MG. Popular streamers like Steelmage said it best; if you’re casual and you go MG you’ll not reach the ranks required to benefit with MG and you should have picked CoF.

CoF needs changes regardless if faction switching is allowed or not. If you follow season/league statistics where there’s a sharp drop in players after a month do the current bonuses in CoF fulfill the proper power fantasy before players quit the cycle? I would say no, they don’t.

It’s laughable that a bug applying healing effectiveness to ward gain in Healing Hands is in the same bucket as Profane Veil ward gain gobbling minions. Powerful is not equal to game breaking. Leave Sentinel alone (and I don’t have a Sentinel this cycle).

I stopped playing Mar 28 halfway to reaching Rank 10 on CoF because the reasons for not playing started piling up. I have guarded hope some better design decisions and bug fixes will make 1.1 not only smoother, but more enjoyable to play.

Listen EHG, the Profane Veil thing needs to go ASAP.

Whether a bug or a typo, doesn’t matter. It’s trivializing the game and ruining the leaderboard. I built it, and it’s just dumb. There’s literally no reason or motivation for players to try out other builds because all other builds are objectively worse by orders of magnitude.

I just can’t fathom playing another 2 1/2 months without it being fixed (if it’s a bug), or nerfed.

WAIT A SECOND…YOU ARE GOING TO FIX A BUG BUT NOT FIX A BUG and your reasoning is you arent going to NERF anything mid cycle but you are nerfing stuff mid cycle anyway? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.

Typical “gamer” mentality in here. “You did this thing that I didn’t like and now you lost all trust I had in you. I’m done with this trash game. You’re no better than (insert current FotW company that people are bashing on).” Jesus Christ, being a video game dev has got to be in the top 5 most toxic and unrewarding professions period. A constant barrage of negativity always being thrown your way. This constant need for instant gratification because of the inability to think further than 3 minutes ahead is such a plague. If something is broken because of a bug/unintended interaction, it will get fixed. If a system (gold income for CoF) needs to be tweaked, it will get fixed. Obviously. Just because it doesn’t happen when you think it should doesn’t mean it won’t. Take a breath, step back and remember that the people you are accosting behind the safety of you monitor are just like the rest of us. People. With lives and feelings. And they don’t need you making those lives more stressful.

BASED EHG
I really like that stance on mid season balance changes.
Due to the nature of the cycles, builds are temporary. Let players find busted interactions and interesting features to enjoy.
Trully and unironically based, might buy another supporter pack soon

Delusional stance,
Not fixing issues because some people will be uncomfortable with not breaking the game is crazy to me
