[Rant] Urgent issues that need to be fixed asap

Dear EHG,

I know you are a small Kickstarter arpg in early access, but why do you have gender lock and no character customization like D4? After all, it’s 2023. Blizzard having a much higher means and resources is no excuse.

Also, why is crafting not deterministic? It would save me so many hours grinding and playing this game. Those hours I could be playing something else entirely.
If this is not possible, I would welcome if it would be at least easier to get the unique that I want. It is very tedious right now. I know that trade is coming, but I did not bother to read about it. I rather complain here without seeing the full picture available to me. After all, everyone knows that a build is not com[plete if it doesn’t have 4LP legendaries in every slot, since uniques all have the same power level and drop rates. If you are hellbent on discouraging 4lp items, please delete the LP system entirely, so that uniques and non uniques will have the same item power.

Once you start with seasons, it would be great if you can cater to my playstyle exactly and not take different player behavior into account. You can also copy the things your competitors did. Please don’t do anything different! Don’t give me a unique selling proposition that makes me want to play Last Epoch rather than other ARPGs! Because what I actually want LE to be is exactly like my favorite ARPG, but without the things that annoy me personally and with more quality of life features. By the way, can you make shards auto loot, so I don’t need to bend so much picking them up? My back is starting to hurt.

Since, I’m already writing you… Something is wrong with your chat. I keep getting blocked for insulting other players? Since when is it offensive to call somebody mentally challenged for struggling with Lagon? Kids are so sensitive these days.

Last but not least, why is void knight not necrotic?

Thank you for reading through this. I am going to create some posts with build questions on Reddit now, because that is easier than using the search function. I don’t think any player wondered before what the cap for dodge chance is.

You forgot…

Dear EHG,

Please make no changes to the game. Otherwise, anything I don’t agree with will just turn this game into a [thing I don’t agree with]-simulator.

Signed,

Harbinger Purist.

Bold of u to ask EHG to stop blocking u from chat calling someone mentally challenged cuz they struggle with Lagon.

That has been an insult for decades. Its not something that became offensive in the 21st century. We are seeing now people actually enforcing what has been offensive for yrs now.

There are things that people say are offensive that where not many yrs ago. And imo what is and isnt offensive has gone to far.

But what ur asking to not be blocked for isnt one of those.

I don’t know, Lagon didn’t exist before the 21st century… so I don’t understand your point.

Ur trolling at this point. U know full well what im saying.

Lagon wasnt my point.

You caught me there

You do realize that this is not a serious thread, right? It’s using sarcasm as a tool to mock some recent posts.

And you do realize that yours was the first serious post in this thread? Kinda jarring, really :joy:

Many of us chuckle at the satire put down by the OP. However the scary truth is that more players that will “ask” for things like that are coming. I hope and pray the devs are able to stick to their vision.

Please stop derailing this thread with serious posts :joy:
Seriously though, I think it’s normal. It’s in our nature to go “Ooh, this thing I just thought of, or that I played in that other game, would make this much more enjoyable to me”.
Then individual nature kicks in: some won’t say anything, some will suggest it politely, some will demand it aggressively and lots of reactions in between. Some are more constructive than others.

As a DJ I’ve come across that a lot as well. When you’re on the dancefloor it’s natural to be thinking “Oh, I would really love to hear this other song”. And some wouldn’t do anything about it and just keep dancing (or leave if they’re not enjoying themselves), some would come ask me I could play the song, others would come almost demanding it, or coming to ask it again and again. I’ve even had people come up to me and say that whatever song was playing was pure garbage.

Funnily enough, the ones that were more aggressive or more pestering were the ones that made me not want to play that in the first place. There was one guy once that was so annoying and disruptive that I waited 2h until he left and played the song he requested 5 minutes later :rofl:

Would heart several times just for this.

Critical strike avoidance on monsters is annoying, any plans on adding critical strike avoidance avoidance?

We could make it so every system has a countersystem. So if a monster rolls for crit avoid, you then roll the countersystem to roll against him rolling for it. If you succeed in the role, then they get a countersystem, where they roll against you rolling against them rolling for avoid. And it goes all the way down until someone fails a roll.

You can do that to every single thing in the game: damage reduction, block, resists, etc.

Yes, February, while very, very exciting also brings with it a very hefty does of trepidation.

EHG’s theme for that week should be:

CRY HAVOC AND LET SLIP THE DOGS OF WAR!!!

I’m pretty sure my post was serious, because that is an actual argument against many changes people have requested.

Or maybe it was generated by a Sarcasm-Simulator, in response to actual stuff and things.

The OP must have used the new module in ChatGPT that openly mocks anything it reads with snark and belaboring humor. Think of this being Monty Python for robots.

If you don’t know that kind of posts and from whom they come you could buy into it as an unexperienced person. That’s the fun of it to see if anyone falls for it. Then again I wait for the day when shit hits the fan and such a thread explodes because people take it seriously and can’t be stopped ^^.

I feel like this needs to be a meme.

Fun fact, void knight is the only mastery with void support. You could argue that the entire purpose of it’s existence is to delude the loot pool with void items and affixes.

Also why does orobyss, the boss we fight all the time, have mostly void items? Syphon of anguish could ditch the void stuff and put something universally good there.

Why does t4 Julra, the hardest boss fight in the game, net you an item with void support.

Am I sarcastic or serious? At this point I don’t know anymore.

Baseline yes, but there is plenty of void support across all items.
Many of which are not even Sentinel items.
So one could argue those delude the loot pool for actual use full Void It’s for VK :smiley:

I think Siphon is totally good how it is.
But I could see Shade dropping new Void/Fire, Void/Cold, Void/Lightning, Void/Physical or Void/Poison Items, that only drop from the respective Shade type.

While Vessel of Strife has 2 void stats I would not call it a Void Item. It’s main purpose is not the offensive void damage.

No ones knows anymore at this point, just make it as fun and entertaining as possible
