Nah, you can swap gems at will so it’s better
It’s an early access, and they already said that are looking into these things and making experiments, if the sockets will be recognized as a problem be sure that will change, and also the respec cost it’s been already reduced, it’s already no more a problem
This!
there are stats that some builds dont even get access to like throwing weapon critical strike chance. i guesss i did forget about them already expanding the stat page, and i do think it is a lot better. Ui wise off the top of my head, better access to damage or stats in the skill pages, and in your crafting inventory you should be able to hold crtl+alt and see an individual affix’s mod ranges for all levels.
I’m beyond excited about the future of this game.
As someone who’s poured hundreds of hours into playing, I do have one piece of feedback: leveling up alts can feel like a bit of a chore. If there were a way to skip the campaign earlier (after completing it once per season) —perhaps after the first act or two—and unlock things like passive/idol slots and the Observatory through alternative means maybe by targeting it in Monoliths, it would greatly improve the experience for me. Being able to dive into Monoliths with alts sooner would keep me engaged for WAY longer.
That said, I share all of this with a lot of love for the game. The campaign is fantastic, and a single playthrough per season is enough for me. I just want to see this game thrive and make the experience even better for everyone.
See you beaches in April! Can’t wait to see what you cooked up.
I can’t wait for the engine patch with the bug fixes. Can use a few days away from PoE2 lol I don’t need til wait until April
I agree. This is definitely top 2 ARPGs all time for me. And I agree that alt leveling could be better. I hate to admit liking a feature from Diablo 4, but the ability to just do dungeons/hell tides/seasonal stuff on an alt is fantastic and would like to see something like that in LE. Not sure how it could be really implemented as LE doesn’t have open world map like Diablo, but I could see some level scaling maybe being a possiblity for alts in monos or something or that nature. Can’t wait for April
If I had to pick a way to implement it, I’d allow monoliths at the start of finding The End of Time era like we currently do. Once starting monoliths, I’d add special echos that had an idol icon and others that had a passive icon that you could target. Once you’ve farmed them all out, those echoes stop appearing/turn into tomes of experience. I feel like that would be a super good way to make it fair to those who want to level alts.
As for the Bazaar, I’d allow it to be unlocked upon the first Monolith being completed or just allow teleporting to it from the Vendor screen at all times. Even if they block the doors from letting you out to prevent issues with campaign progress / worrying about having to code for all those outcomes.
Again, I have absolutely NO problem completing the campaign once a cycle. But a 2nd and 3rd playthrough for Alts make me want to pull my hair out (and I love the game)!
Guys we realy need to stop justify this pseudo developers.
Damn 9 months of waiting for this little? Either LE was so bad and bugged they had to redesign everything ( and we know they are not doing it ) or devs don`t care about their own game and playerbase.
We were promised a lot now in this 9 months of waiting we are gonna get 1 cycle with 1 etra mechanic ( where we were promised 3 cycles and so 3 extra mechanics so the game start being fun ), also in this 9 months originally we were promised another campaign chapter, update to unique items, procedural generetion for zones(including mono), update to skills(something called skill sigils) transmogs and another pinnacle boss.
And this are only thing i found in they “roadmap” that were promised in this ninth months and are spit into our face with what they show here.
Truth is they earn way more money on launch than expected and now give no sh*t about the game, either sending most of devs to another project or firing extra people so they can have more of this money for themself, yet another time happening same thing showing how bad times gaming industry is having now and we players are allowing this by justifing devs…
Atleast we have promising POE 2 so LE can be uninstalled and never again comed back to this joke of a game.
Except for the part where they have no other project (that would be GD’s Crate) and are actually hiring people (see open positions)
If you’re gonna complain, atleast don’t throw out accusations that have no base in reality.
Ur dumb? Hiring people dont mean they have not fired anyone, and no other OFFICIAL project dont mean they are working on something that is not announced yet… Sometimes i`m realy losing hope on people IQ. Keep trying to justify them.
Ah, so your argument is “I know it all without any proof, and if you disagree ur[sic] dumb”
But sure, go uninstall LE and play POE 2 if it’s so bad. I’ll be actually giving constructive criticism without resorting to insults to make my point.
Man at this point it is not just an insult ur just confirming it. For u this is an argument for me it was assunption based of what we are all seeing, 9 months of development without any releases and now this shit*y annoucment. If u cannot accept others opinion then that`s not my problem.
And once again yes ur dumb, cause u was trying to justify them by saying “they have no other project” - when u dont understand the industry at all and don
t know that they can have even several project that are not yet offcial, and “are actually hiring people”. Man atleast read what have you written, and if u have issue with being called dumb don`t post such a nonsense.
Please remember to remain civil in conversations.
We certainly understand the frustration of having to wait so long for an update - it is too long of a period since the last major release, and not what we were originally aiming for. However, for the future of Last Epoch, we felt taking the time now to directly address areas of feedback, and catching up on bugs and issues would help create a better path forward. We are actively expanding our team adding more members, adding both manpower to get more work done, as well as add more specialized roles for better organization and efficiency of task completion. We’re working faster, and completing more than ever before - though It’s 100% understandable that it doesn’t yet look that way. It’s not fun waiting now, but it’s for the goal of making things more fun later.
We appreciate it. A little advice, in addition to hiring more developers: remind about thyself and thy game to people more often, they unfortunately have a very short memory, miracles can be counted on the fingers of one hand, for example the revival of No Man’s Sky.
I’m truly sorry you guys have to deal with folks who don’t fully understand development - keep your heads up. Once the bug debt is paid and updates are flowing these times will be nothing but a blip on the radar.
Keep on cookin
I’m so excited for April. This is the best ARPG on the market currently. Keep on pushing! Hopefully they nail 1.2! I’m hoping that a decent amount of people come give LE a chance. After playing PoE 2, I’ve remembered that LE has so many more player-friendly systems in place.
Also, going forward, don’t be afraid to do big updates/seasonal resets every 6 months or so if every 3-4 months is not realistic. Switching to an expansion based system may be a good idea as well.
This was the right decision. Waiting sucks, but it will be worth it!
when is season 2 and beyond supposed to come out
As noted in the OP above:
“With these considerations, we have just finalized our launch window for Season 2 and wanted to share the window immediately Last Epoch Season 2 launches April of 2025!”
