The silence is deafening. Saying nothing speaks louder than saying "We are aware of the exploits and are taking measures to curb the inflation"

Personally I think anyone who profited from the dupe, whether by using it or by selling items at hugely inflated prices should be punished very severely. If thieves could not sell their stolen goods they’d have less reason to steal - which is not to say they’re stop stealing.

… or you could switch to Circle of Fortune

No it didn’t. In fact there were no dupes in PoE at all.

Yes, I agree. Aside from the dozens that happened over the years, there were none. :laughing:

Fake news, didn’t happen, and you will not be able to prove it either, besides linking some reddit stories that cannot be proved. Poe had bugged items with stats that weren’t supposed to be on them (like flasks with a bunch of damage mods) but dupe - no.

Besides, think about it, we are arguing about you being able to provide a single (one) instance of dupe exploit in Poe’s 12 years history, meanwhile Last Epoch had two seasons thus far, and both of them had NUMEROUS DUPES AND EXPLOITS, in fact we are talking in a topic about a new one right now.

So yeah, whenever someone compares 12 years of reliable and exploit free economy of PoE with a game that couldn’t function without an exploit for a week in a row, i just laugh.

Yeah, of course PoE is perfect and never had dupes/exploits.
Especially in the first couple of years. None whatsoever.
Nor did they ever feel the need to implement a system that searches for dupes and deletes them (much like D2 deletes dupes that are dropped).
Nor did they ever feel the need to hotfix mechanics in the first days of the league because people were using them to hoard currency.
PoE is just peach perfect and never had one of these.

I’m not justifying EHG, btw. This happening is very bad for the health of the game and needs to be better controlled. Though, by all accounts, this exploit was already in 1.0, it was just never leaked until now.

They don’t fix bugs it is a problem, the game is already 1.1, I have tried party play and we experienced a DOZEN of bugs every session. All kind of bugs, all kind of cannot proceed further, all kind of cannot pick up your loot from the ground, desync, crashes, it is crazy. Is this alpha version or 1.1?

as always, diverting the subject in an attempt to shield an OBVIOUS flaw.
This is the Last Epoch forum, we are talking about a Last Epoch flaw and not a new one, but something that has been happening and has not been fixed, and as you yourself have shown, something that is recurrent in this style of game. F¨%& if this error happened once 15 leagues ago in PoE, we are talking about it happening NOW in LE. The game is already at a low point, less than 70k have returned and more than half of them have already abandoned the game, this attitude of offending players does not work anymore. As I said, this game had potential but it is quickly becoming a Wolcen or a NewWorld.
This DJ has been on the forum for a while now and all he does here is respond to criticism with, “but look, in D2-d3-d4-poe there was something remotely similar to this.”

Depending on how they coded it, the information for doing this analysis might not be available.

However, after the fiasco from last cycle, they definitely SHOULD have placed some checks in place to catch potential cheaters / exploiters. And, potentially, also recover the economy from any potential gold exploit.

Without knowing what gets stored in the servers, it is very difficult to figure out what they can and cannot do, but at the same time, it’s in the best interest of EHG to not make this information known, to avoid exposing any potential blindspot in their exploit prevention.

Put him on ignore list, the guy is on a payroll, no troll would be so malicious and persistent.

I come here randomly, once a month or a year, but the guy sits here all day long, all the forums all the threads you can see wherever some genuine issue is being discussed, he is there diverting attention and trolling and surely not getting banned.

People were mad furious at gold dupe in 1.0, now the same thing happens in 1.1., do you people think they will keep coming to get more gold dupes in 1.2, 1.3, 1.4?

That is not the only issue, I have tried party play with a friend, and the amount of bugs, critical issues experienced in party play is incredible. The state of the game is so raw and unpolished, the servers stability is crazy bad.

It’s incredibile that some people on this forum, almost every time the same one, it’s unable to make a constructive critic to its beloved game even in this situation, without shitting on other 10 games in response, man, in some ways this is incredible, but in the wrong way I will say

I don’t know, you’re doing quite well.

Honestly anyone who rolls MG next cycle deserves the pain when the economy explodes once again to the inevitable dupes. Fool me once shame on you. Twice shame on me

Exactly the opposite…
Fool me once, you’re the bad guy.
Foole me twice, I am the one to blame for falling for it again.

This has nothing to do with the discussion, just explaining the saying.

Dude… only reason why people who actually like Last Epoch ever mention other games in discussions like this is because of people that don’t like Last Epoch very much and keep bringing suggestions from other games to make LE look a little more like their diablo or whatever…
Turns out, these same people who keep bringing suggestions from other games suddenly seem to forget those games when something breaks in Last Epoch, because there’s nothing new happening here that has never happened in many other games, yet they keep comparing this less than a year old game to the PoE 10 years of content making and game polishing. Like PoE is gud, LE is trash and dying, you know, that kind of stuff…

I’m sure that’s the ONLY reason the person you’re referring to (yeah, we know you’re talking about @DJSamhein, no need to talk like that) ever brought other games to this discussion, to remember these haters that ALL games go through bad shit, specially when releasing new stuff.

I really don’t want to be pessimistic-eddy but with all the gold exploits, in-game critical bugs, dessyncs etc., which by the way are frequently reported through game and forum, the radio silence is truly deafening and pushing community to skip the actual season support round.
A simple “We know” and list of issues as acknowledgment would tip the scales.

Their matter handling is terrible. Something must be really wrong with the game for them to make such poor decisions
