Doesn’t matter, the answer is ‘a lot more’ anyway ![]()
I can’t understand all the negativity either. I’ve played on and off since the game came out and it’s pretty fun.
I’m probably not a typical player but one thing I like about it is that you can play for just 15 minutes here and there by playing through an echo or two. My season 4 character is a level 98 Runemaster (who probably won’t make it to Aberroth but that’s fine too).
Playing for 15 mins is pretty much completing the entire range of end game content they have right now…
I like the game been having fun. I have tried POE/LA/D4/TQ2/TLI, I think Last Epoch is best so far, I just wish they add OPTIONAL PvP.
I played POE1 since closed beta for about 10 years, also play POE2. POE2 is using same custom built game engine from POE1. Bad pathing, bad hitboxes, desync galore. I think Last Epoch is honestly more polished and smooth combat and gameplay. I have more fun playing LE. They could add some PvP option imo.
People stupid, just move on, nothing to see here
lol wut. last epoch isnt even on the same planet as POE2’s combat and gameplay
If your connection isn’t good enough to use lockstep instead of predictive then don’t play that game. It’s not made in mind with predictive mode.
Then you also don’t get any sorts of desyncs because they cannot exist.
Pathing is where you move your character, there is no pathing, if you can’t control the characters that’s your issue.
And hitboxes in PoE are one of the best existing ones of the genre. LE is absolut shit with that, try playing a dagger build and you’ll see why, you hit through enemies. That shouldn’t ever happen, their hitboxes are a mess.
I also prefer Last Epoch combat and gameplay over POE2, by a long shot. Taste is subjective.
I play both POE2 and LE, and I feel the difference is minimal in terms of geared-up, end-game content, where I literally just hold down 1 button to attack and maybe press another one once in a while for some kind of debuff on a pinnacle boss.
I have no issue with the combat system in LE. I love the play style, I love the quality of life - the issue is the stuff I love, there’s only enough of it to keep me in love for 17 minutes.
The game lacks content, and I’ve been playing long enough now that there should be WAY more content.
The game also has far more bugs - maybe not overall, who knows, all these games have crazy amounts, but the difference being the bugs in LE are entire player-base bugs that just don’t get fixed. They also have other bugs still affecting specific skills and classes that mean entire builds don’t work, and these have been around years, yes, years.
They’re not a small movement bug you can work around or a default attack bug; they’re a big bug on the main damage-dealing nodes, which mean entire builds that should be in the game are just not.
They also have a far worse level of balancing issues, with a large majority of skills just NOT able to be used to clear content/bosses.
People will say POE2 has balance issues, but considering I’ve been playing different builds most days for the last 2 months, I can tell you it’s not the same. This season has every build being strong and able to clear pinnacle bosses, with no one saying, ‘my class is weak,’ most jokingly saying this needs nerfing, but overall the sentiment is VERY VERY happy because that’s how it should be with all builds, with time and investment able to do all content.
Not this stupid fricking LE mindset of “oh, only a few meta builds should be able to do uber” - no, bullshit.
Everyone has paid money for this game, and there are many classes and builds, and people ALL should be able to play what they WANT and ENJOY and not forced to pick something specific just to complete it all.
Put in time/effort, get gear, have the skill, and do the bosses.
Absolute bullshit to think otherwise.
