Welcome to the patch notes for our first ever race client!
Not able to join in? Here’s a link to people streaming Last Epoch on Twitch.
Note: Unfortunately this will be a Windows-exclusive as the person who usually builds our demos is unavailable. We are sincerely sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. The regular release of 0.4.9.7 will feature both Windows and Linux clients.
Race
- Dev Mode has been disabled
- Normal Difficulty has been disabled
- Added a timer for the race
- You can create a new character and wait at the tutorial screen for the race button to go live (do not hit continue)
- Once the race is live, the timer will count up from the event start time
- When you reach level 50, the timer will turn green and display your final time
- Time continues to count up even after disconnecting, and is unaffected by system time
- Added level-based XP penalties
- If your character level is significantly higher than the level of the zone you are in, you will earn XP at a reduced rate.
- If you are 5 levels above an area there is an 80% XP penalty
- If you are 8 levels above an area there is a 96% XP penalty
- The Arena scales with character level and will be unaffected.
- The levels of the other zones are listed in the following post.
