Hello everyone
Have you ever considered standing in front of a player with your hard-looted “high-end” gear and showing them what ARPG hack-n-slash pro is all about?
Do you think you’re a good player if you follow a guide?
You can only really tell when you compete against other players.
PvP guides are almost never sufficient for any game of this genre.
That’s exactly the appeal of playing Last Epoch, but unfortunately, despite several requests, I haven’t received a response from the developers yet.
Is PvP planned?
Is it even a possibility?
I’d like to know what’s going on.
What do you think? Doesn’t the looting (+ difficulty level) get too boring for you?
I don’t think PvP is planned, and if it was released I’d never play it.
PvP in ARPGs is absolute ass. You would have to rebalance EVERYTHING, because right now you have DPS in the hundredthousands to millions while your HP is in the low thousands, meaning that you’d insta-die to Erasing Strike, Umbral Blade or what have you.
But even if the game was rebalanced for PvP, it would still suck, because the abilities are designed to be used against hordes of enemies, not a single guy.
The only “PvP” this genre can handle well is something like Diablo 3s weekly dungeon, where everyone has the same build and tries to be the fastest pilot, or crucible times in Grim Dawn between people playing the exact same build.
Mike gets asked about this all the time and he always answers that it is something he’d like to add eventually (emphasis on the eventually).
Most likely in a similar way to PoE where you get a PvP zone and you can’t PvP outside of it.
Not necessarily. There are plenty of ST skills.
D2 did PvP pretty well (except the part where you could aggro someone anywhere), where most classes had enough PvP builds available to allow those that wanted it to enjoy it.
In fact, balance for PvP in D2 was actually better than PvE balance.
I hope they concentrate on making the game a realy good PvE experience before they even start to look into PvP. In my opinion they have a long way ahead as of right now to even think about adding different game modes.
