Trailer genuinely looks lit!
(And I wonder how many streamers are already oging frame by frame to snag tooltips 
)
Looking Hype!! Super excited!!
logiin to LE!!! <3
I wasn’t planning to play, but with WASD, I have no choice.
HYPE! I am so excited for this season to get here!
Let’s gooooo!
Ok, dismantling the trailer there a bit:
From what we’ve been able to see the woven monoliths are one of the best ideas the game has provided to date! The ability to actually put down the content you as a player want is fantastic, just what the game needed!
No clue how the champion enemies will be… but the champion affixes are a much much needed variety for building items. I just hope given the new variability in items this way will lead to easing up on the crafting limitations a little bit. Otherwise we’ll see a situation where good items on good bases with a good champion affix will simply be a unicorn. Experimental affixes already suffer under that despite there being an option to actively put them on an item, because FP is such a heavily limited resource to work with.
Woven offerings… umh… what are they? What do they do? Would’ve been nice to see an example, dunno if I can say ‘great! More of that!’ or ‘don’t care’. I would prefer to see the potential impact of the outcomes rather then only that a new system is implemented.
New runes: Fantastic! Same thing though… FP limit is massive, they’ll barely be usable since we can’t even re-roll inside the roll-range currently and hope for a viable outcome in the end. Havic Rune has great potential though, Redemption rune seems useless, a T1 rare affix with a T7 exalted is a better potential outcome then Redemption can ever provide, it has likely no function besides being a ‘player trap’. No clue about the weaving one, might be interesting, once more, examples of potential outcomes would’ve been great.
Mastery respec is one absolute disaster in my eyes. Shame that the option between ‘more character slots’ and ‘mastery respec’ has led ultimately to mastery respec in the end. That’ll be a long-term detriment for the longevity of the game.
Inventory tabs are… ok? Might becomes quite cluttered in the future, could’ve done those in a ‘resource’ UI instead, including shards for the forge.
Dungeon charms… great! Would’ve preferred a proper re-work of the dungeon content rather then just ignoring its existence. Can’t undo such things easily in the future after all, tons of potential lost for the game.
WASD beta support… interesting! We’ll see how good or bad it looks, hopefully not too grating, but that it comes? Absolutely amazing!
Overall I would’ve enjoyed the trailer to be a minute longer and actually showing us proper examples of the mechanics which had those missing rather then skipping over them. 4 minutes instead of 3 wouldn’t be an issue.
But overall? I think 1.2 will be sufficient to bring people back, even with leagues of other H&S games around the corner. Great overview of changes, now it comes down to quality and how much the core aspects which aren’t ‘up to par’ yet will fit together with them.
Even if it will be stuck in place when casting any skill, if we can just move around with WASD and the dodge follows the direction given by WASD instead of the mouse, it’s a huge improvement for me.
Everything else is of course super interesting but the WASD was the only thing that was literally keeping me on a “meh” position. It’s been years that I’ve waited for arpg to adopt it as an input model.
Thank you EHG for pushing this in, even if in a beta state <3

What’s the reasoning behind moving blessings to the inventory? Does this mean they’ll drop as loot now? And will we be able to trade them on the bazaar? I’m a bit confused by this change, as the current blessing system, where you can replace them, works well

It would at least allow switching them between character you have rather then re-grinding them on every single one individually. So you can have blessings handled for your second character the moment you reach monoliths rather then needing to grind them up by repeated tries.

Jesus Christ that’s a lot of content! <3
Ok, now that’s a trailer worth watching. A lot of hype in there to look forward to. Some changes that weren’t expected but many wanted, shows you are listening and willing to change course.
Been a big supporter for quite some time now and looking forward to seeing how these changes look in game-time.

I understand your point of view, and it really makes sense! But they could have just given us the option to choose blessings from a general pool when first visiting the monoliths. Now, as I understand it, we will have to transfer the necessary blessings between characters, since they will now be in a single version, if we are talking about a blessing with the best rolls
Well, now you basically drop the blessing with the specific roll and then you’ll need to ‘apply’ it to the specific character you want to have it on.
So a middle-thing between ‘all characters have the best-rolled version available’ and ‘you have to re-grind with each individual character’ simply. Makes sense for the position there. Not too short-timed but also not as time-extensive as it is now since it was a bit too much to re-grind.

Oh thank god. I have been terrified that I’d have to have PoE 2, with GGG’s love of RNG and hatred of the player (and all that comes with it), on my rotation.
LE 1.2 is looking large!
It’s greedy of me to hope, with all that’s being added, but I 
that you’ve also found some time to do a balance pass (especially to the older classes/masteries).
Man i hate the last epoch camera angle.
also it still looks like the characters are gliding on the ground.
Its Huge damn
There’s no change to the blessing system? They have been viewable from your inventory UI for a long time now.
Trailer is well done, updates looks really good. Seems you guy’s have been busy. Looking forward to coming back and playing a bit!
