I’m new to Last Epoch (about 12 hours in) and I’m enjoying the experience! The game is more accessible (difficulty) than Path of Exile 2 while offering deeper build variety than Diablo 4.
WASD Movement made me play the game
However, I’ve encountered some problems:
Simultaneous Mouse Movement: Even with WASD enabled, the character is still moved by the mouse left click.
Skill Casting Interruptions: Some skills cause the character to halt completely during casting, making the gameplay feel less fluid.
I understand from community discussions that implementing full WASD support is complex and may require significant development resources.
Additional Features That Could Enhance Gameplay
I recognize that some of these points have been mentioned before, but I want to talk about it to show that some players still need/want them:
- Checkpoints in Maps: Currently, maps lack checkpoints like in PoE2, sometimes the game becomes Dora The Explorer because I suck at exploring the map.
- Map Reset on Town Return: Returning to town resets the map, respawning enemies and resetting fog of war, which sucks if you are a loot everything kind of player.
- Pause Functionality: The game doesn’t allow pausing. (I understand that it’s hard to implement, but if done right could be one of the best QoL).
- Story Skip for New Characters: After completing the game once, there’s no option to skip the story with new characters. (there are some keys and whatnot but they don’t skip the story like D4)
