Hi EHG,
I just started Beta a couple of days ago and so far I am enjoying the game, definately alot different than what I am used to playing other ARPGs.
I like the active skill tree system along with the passive skill tree for the class/masteries.
However there are quite alot of things I have picked up that would require some work although you may have already thought about these.
Firstly, the game needs some better optimisation, it feels like the game runs at 30fps constant rather than 60. I am able to play games like PoE and Grim Dawn and D3 at constant 60fps but I can’t seem to get Last Epoch to run any quicker than 30 even at lower settings.
Second, I do hope the animations and characters models improve before final release as they do feel quite stiff and not very stylised.
Third, this is probably obvious but voice acting is needed badly in this game as I can’t really immerse myself in the game without it.
Another factor is that in settings I have set it so that any melee attack will automatically move my character into range, however my character does not do this half of the time and just stands still and swings air. Also sometimes my character will be on top of an enemy and our attacks won’t hit each other so maybe it might be an idea to have some collision in there to prevent this problem.
Sometimes my character will be stuck on a corner when I move my mouse suddenly around a corner so my character won’t autopath around it which I feel should happen.
Another issue I think although this may just be my RNG, is that I have been using this yellow rarity sword for a long time since level 5 and I have not seen any item that is an obvious upgrade to it. I have seen some users describe having to break down an item to get its component to then craft a stronger item although I’m not sure how to do this and is not explained anywhere.
Another thing I’ve picked up, is that I have ascended to the spellblade mastery and using the Flame Reave skill, but the damage is so weak compared to my mana strike which I’ve used previously although the skill is at level 7 while Flame Reave is 1 but am I wrong to assume that the mastery skill should clearly be an upgrade?
At the moment the above is everything that I have picked up in terms of feedback. But on the whole, I am glad I have picked up this game in beta, definately something I can see myself playing in the future once this project reaches completion.
