This is either a bug or extremely confusing. It’s possible that I’m missing something. Any feedback is appreciated.
I have 2 offline characters, both Standard and Character Found. They do not have access to the same stash tabs, despite the character creation option saying they would.
Yes, I am aware that I could disable the challenge and presumably they could then access the regular (non-Character Found) stash. Since I enjoyed SSF mode in POE, I wanted to see how it compares in Last Epoch, and this is obviously a roadblock.
offline there is no trading, its offline. You cant party with other players nor trade with them.
So offline characters by default are poe’s SSF. They have shared tabs.
Character found characters, are basicaly SSF inside SSF. They are characters who can only access their own loot and not even your other offline characters.
There does not need to be a SSF distinction for offline characters because of it being the default experience.
If what you say is true – and I’m not suggesting it’s not – I think the character creation screen text needs to change. When Character Found is checked, the pop-up explanation makes no mention of a difference between offline vs online and very clearly states that all characters within CF mode will have access to the same stash.
Obviously, this is a game in beta, and functionality and/or text may change. My suggestion is that it does.
Perhaps you should read my previous comment. I’m not disputing that this is how it works, I’m suggesting that the text on the Character Found option needs to be changed, because it says “This character will not be able to party with nor obtain items found by other players, but will have access to items and resources found by your other account-found characters.”
As a new player, it’s possible I’m misunderstanding some aspect of this text. But considering that the only players who would even need to read this pop-up are new players like me, I think it needs to be either made more clear or fixed if it’s as wrong as it seems to me.
This is absolutely true and most likely an old setup like the golems for the last added mastery and such things. It’s even worth to write a bug report about it because it isn’t working as described ^^.
I agree with what Mikojb. This is very confusing for someone who doesn’t know the lingo. I would also suggest a note pop up next to the Standard mode to say what is different. Having to hunt through forums to figure out this ridiculous setup is infuriating.
I though character-found wasn’t even an option anymore and they have plans to add it back. What we have right now is account-found which means all account-found characters can share stash with other account-found characters. This is true for both online and offline so I would expect your two characters, one with no special rules and one marked ssf to not share a stash even though they’re both offline.
It’s a little redundant to have account found in offline mode but when they add back character found it’ll be used
You are correct. Prior to 0.9 what was called solo was actually solo but I guess some people confused it with PoE’s SSF so in 0.9 they changed it to match PoE’s version.
Yeah idk man it is silly. It clearly says and states that other SSF characters are able to access the other SSF characters stash tabs. Makes sense for that to happen and work otherwise basically every single item as amazing as it is that you find is useless for your character. It is quite bad and this should not work this way if you ask me. Like PoE has SSF and you can still use items you found on other SSF chars. Kind of pointless if their SSF exists under these conditions. The point is no party/trade not dont have fun and haha nice tier 0 item you found sucker you will never use it cause aint for your char.
How is this acceptable? what smart guy (not) decided that the text is clear enough for people to really understand this BS ssf within ssf. POE is the big guy in this area. You don’t just make up your own shit without due respect. I have to now level from scratch all over because I cannot use any of the nice items i found on my first char who was CF. Stupid game.
EDIT: And you want to release this next month… what a fkn joke.
I’m confused. Solo was changed to Character Found in 0.9 (March 23, almost 11 months ago) to match “the big guy” when playing online. When playing offline, the re-branded Solo functions as it did before (& there’s likely a reason why they didn’t just call it SSF back then, 'cause that’s how non-Solo functioned). Did you expect, when playing offline, for Character Found & non-Character Found to function the same?
So innovation is “against the rules”? Did PoE not innovate? Did they just copy their systems from “the big guy” (that was D2 in case you weren’t around then)?
Yes, if your first character was Character Found then that means you started it after 0.9, so you would have been able to see the amended text when you selected CF on character creation. I’m sorry you didn’t pay attention to the popup in a new game that you’d never played before & blindly assumed that it was a straight clone of a different game in the genre.
Yes, how poor of EHG to assume that native English speakers can read. Shame on them, SHAME!
Anyway. I’m also sorry that I’m white knighting/gatekeeping & not being sufficiently sympathetic to your inability to do simple things without raging about it feels. Is this any better there there, poor dear, you are totally right, how mean and nasty of them to assume you can read.
Dude, you been kissing ass to LE on these forums for how many years, and they still don’t care or recognize your contribution. Secondly, this is a feedback forum for LE team, not for Llama8, so get lost.
To be fair, the text in offline character-found does say, wrongly, that the stash is shared.
This is a HUGE problem mentioned almost daily in the chat, I can’t understand why they wait 1.0 to fix one line of text.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the tone of the post is appalling. Best ignored, imho.
I still don’t get it. I’m new, a few days ago I asked in another post how to create a character so that everything works for me in version 1.0
I want to play now, in version 1.0 I want to be in Circle of fortune and I want to share things between my characters.
How should I create a character? Offline or online? With or without the “character found” box checked?
I don’t understand why I need an online character if I’m not going to trade. And if I’m offline I won’t be able to change the Faction…
I also don’t understand if I’m going to be in CoF, why I can’t share items between my characters…
Or in version 1.0, they won’t split characters into offline and online anymore and just deal with factions?
You can do either offline or online, whether you choose Character Found depends on whether you’re online (it won’t affect your ability to share your items with your other characters) or offline (choosing CF, will mean your character won’t be able to share items with your other characters).
You don’t. CoF is available & just as functional offline as online.
You can change factions if you’re offline.
Because you ticked the Character Found box on character creation & that disables being able to share items with your other characters if offline. Sadly the popup text in-game is wrong in that regard if you’re creating an offline character.
1.0 will still split characters into online (saved on EHG’s servers) & offline (saved on your pc). Factions will be available to both online & offline characters.
Thank you. I’m not being sarcastic. I don’t speak English well and I really don’t get it.
So the difference between online and offline is just where the character is stored? You say offline they can change faction, but can I trade with other players offline?
So according to my requirements the correct way to create a character is online, checked “character found” and also the correct way is - offline, unchecked “character foun”. Correct?
Mainly yes. In offline, your pc does all the calculations, AI, etc & the character files are stored on your pc. In online, your pc checks all that with the server & the character files are saved on the server.
Currently, “offline” isn’t completely offline. In the current offline your log in to the servers & then your pc handles everything else but you still have chat with other players (trade is coming in 1.0 but not for offline, obviously). In the (near) future, offline will be completely offline, no chat, no trade.
No. Offline will not have access to trade (because it’s offline).
