Really? I felt it was a similar length to Grim Dawn, PoE, D3, etc. Though GD doesn’t have an end game to do after the campaign.
How long would you think it should take, not speedrunning through it?

Definitely their vision of the ‘necromancer’ it is literally the best I’ve seen in any ARPG.

PoE’s is too long. Like, way too long.
GD’s campaign is the game, which is something few ARPGs get right, but it still also provides other activities, which is nice.
D3 and Wolcen only require one character to complete it, which I don’t mind.
Torchlight 1 & 2 and Dungeon Siege 1 & 2 are all about the campaign itself, except mods gave TL2 lots of alternate and endgame options.
As for how long it should be in LE, I wouldn’t mind the length if it weren’t for the confluence of it being extremely linear and the endgame making it largely pointless. This is why I advocate to either make it optional or rework it so that it stays relevant even into echos. The current design path points toward something more like D3 or PoE than it does Torchlight or Grim Dawn.
Basically, it feels too long if it takes more than a few hours (not speedrunning) and also feels pointless.

EHG and the devs. To stream once a week while playing LE and talk to us is ‘keeping it real’.
The QOL is well done and streamlined maps without doors is refreshing. End game totally works for me.
I have no doubt if they price MTX costumes fairly EHG will do very well financially i say that with the fact they wont charge for xpacs in the future which is smart b/c gamers will invest for time played if they feel respected.

Everything transformation. I Just love turning into mythical things that don’t exist IRL. Going around and just beating ass with it. werebear and spriggan form really give me that feel. cant wait to see what the reworks and 3rd transformation will bring to the table for me!
We have a lot of good stuff in the pipe for you then, sir! The new forms are looking really awesome. I’ve never personally been excited about Spriggan and I am after the internal updates… and the bear form update and the unreleased form are awesome. Looking like these will be released in 0.8.4 so we can have all the form updates including skill tree and passive changes released at the same time.

Does that mean the EQ Werebear build won’t be touched in 0.8.3? I can’t remember which one of you guys said that it wasn’t nerfed/touched in 0.8.2 as you were waiting for the larger werebear changes to do it all at once.
I enjoy that there are lots of ways to play the same class, and it totally changes the experience each time. The story line is pretty linear, but it doesn’t feel stale or boring. Looking forward to seeing how that plays out!
you just building up the suspense sir! my tin foil hat theories of osprix form being 3rd elemental melee transform. you being excited for spriggan. werebear becoming hulk. i cannot wait. Thanks for response <3

Indeed.

The art style.
For me there are 3 ways Last Epoch has advanced the ARPG genre:
1. Loot Filter Simplicity/Colours:
<1hr learning curve, and you have the knowledge for life… and its cross character too so you only have to set it up once and tweak for new characters as you go.
2. Skill Trees on Abilities: This feels like a really nice level of customisation (without being overwhelming)… and you can add more levels via affix too. I feel this could be improved even more if you could respec and try things without having to go and re-level, it really stops me exploring/testing, I end up picking and sticking.
3. The Crafting UI: This is really welcoming to new players, I was never confident in PoE, or even in LE with the old UI, but the new one just was so clear to me, the 2 suffixes… the 2 prefixes… the glyphs… I think it could still be tweaked but its night and day more accessible to new players than PoE for example.

My favorite thing is probably finding a unique that I have been long looking for. My least favorite thing is repeating the quest over and over for the Last Step of the Living.
Making characters to try various builds or because I was playing HC and died (again). Leveling characters is a joy and a breeze.
#2?!?!? I have to ask what #1 is? CT is, and likely will always be, my greatest SP RPG. lol. Awesome!
And Putting together builds from gear I ‘find’ vs buy/trade. Its quite nice.

Finding out new stuff. Today I learned that the red DoT pools in the Dragon Emperor fight aren’t bleed as I’d assumed (my Lich was using Exsanguinous so she’s immune to bleed) but they’re a % of current hp that ignores ward. After a while sitting in them I was only taking 4 damage a tick & my skellies/mages were only taking 1 damage per tick (a “fresh” Skellie was taking ~1.2k damage on the first tick, then 900).
So those pools will never kill you but they will make it a lot easier for anything else in the fight to kill you.
