Last Epoch - aRPG (Kickstarter Demo available)

[TheSwede]

Sorry for double post but got this drop a while ago and wondering if anyone else got something like this dropped ?? Played for 160 hours and never had a dropped that one of the Affix's was sealed and it having 0 Forging Potentials. Searching google it says it is a base item for a pair of Raindance boots, but those are said to be farmed from Spirits of Fire Monolith.. so not quiet sure what's what. But maybe someone here knows more about such drops ??

 

[Karathez]

I'm guessing it was from one of the dungeons, one of the options on the doors mention items can drop with sealed affixes? Always said tier 1 or 2 for me tho, never seen it say 5

Nope, sorry I wasn't clear enough there but have not yet done any dungeons. Just done 10 or so Monolith's and it was not during one of them either. It was in the open, during the campaign, think it might have been a chest but could just as well been from a mob too. When I first looked at it I saw the lvl 5 Cooldown and grabbed it. Was later I realized it had 5 Affix's and one was sealed.

Bought this on full release and was extremely disappointed, primarily because I could play due to server issues.
Gave it a few weeks to sort itself out, and now I'm loving it. Having more fun in this than I've had in Diablo 4, so far.

Same - got my mastery and not played since - played a bit last night and still server issues, but I can't tear myself away from Diablo I prefer it much more

You must have been unlucky, I been playing for the last 5 evenings/night and not had any server issues. Last night I finished like 3am UK time and had a smooth experience. Just thought I mention that incase it was just a odd one for you. Although if you enjoying Diablo I more, then play that. After all we suppose to have fun with the games we playing !

I'm stuck trying to find a class I enjoy, tried necro, warlock and now the forge guard, not made it past campaign yet, is that where I'm going wrong?

Not necessarily, you do get a lot of the build changing/enabling unique items at the higher levels, but more often than not you can get some form of a build going without any.

How far along are you? The further you get the quicker you can respec your skills/trees, might be worth searching for a few builds and see if there is something that you could shift over to?

Game been updated to version 1.0.4 now and had a few more fixes:

Changes​

• Players can no longer stun themselves. An example of this was by using the Signet of Agony node in Bone Curse
• Replaced the XP Tome sound effect in Echo of a World
• Flagged more prophecy rewards as “rare/valuable” (which animates them to rotate and makes them slightly larger than other stars in the Constellation)
• Increased the favor cost multiplier for Glyph of Despair Prophecies
• You can no longer gain experience while in the grace period (the period of invulnerability after arriving to a new area)
• Added missing name in Graveyard
• Overhauled terrain, spawners, and shrines in the Hidden Oasis Echo Map to both improve visuals, and performance, and fix hideable issues with palms
• Overhauled visuals and added Scene Variants for Lightless Pits Echo Map

Bug Fixes

Skills & Passives​

• Fixed a bug where Storm Crow’s “Arborist” didn’t buff Tempest Strike Totem with Flat Spell / Melee Lightning Damage

• Fixed a bug where Tempest Strike’s “Heorot Arsenal” node was not providing stats to the Cold Projectile that Tempest Totem shoots when each Tempest has been removed in the skill tree.
• Fixed a bug where Tempest Strike Totem, Warcry Totem, and Upheaval Totem were not benefiting from Spell Lightning Damage for Existing Totems (such as the Omen of Thunder Unique Item)
• Fixed a bug where directly transitioning from channeling Warpath to channeling Rebuke while at negative mana would not start mana regeneration.
• Fixed a bug where Fury Leap would play the landing animation in mid-air on long-range casts of Fury Leap
• Fixed a bug where the Acolyte’s Wraith’s weapons would drift during animation transitions
• Fixed a bug where Mirage hits on Puncture would not grant stacks of Bleeding Fury
• Fixed an issue with Acid Flask’s “Alchemist Gift” throwing animation where the trap would spin in place then teleport to its destination
• Fixed a bug where Acid Flask’s “Alchemist Gift” node did not have a throwing sound
• Fixed a bug where Healing Hands would not get a Fire tag when taking the Searing Light, or Skyfall Nodes
• Fixed a bug where the Spell Tag would be removed from Healing Hands with Seraph Blade when you also took Skyfall

Controller

• Fixed a bug where Prophecies could be re-rolled on login in multiplayer

• Fixed a bug where Vsync was not applying during the Splash Screen (this appears before the login screen)

On another note, what build did you guys and gals play ? I have only made one, a Falcon Build with some Shadow Daggers thrown into the mix. Level 87 and so far runs through everything, although I have not yet started the Empowered Monolith's as still working through those the first time.

 

[DanF]

yeah viewer counts are way down now with the POE league coming out soon, was always going to happen until their next league

I ended up with a bunch of level 75-85 characters just trying out several builds. Didn't want to really push until they have some proper end game content

Favorites where lighting spec runemaster, sorc and paladin. Warlock and Falconer just felt busted so didn't play them much

 

[TheSwede]

Ahh right. Yeah, wasn't aware that there is a new PoE League coming out, but that would explain things. Hopefully there be some more posts later, as I am thinking maybe doing a Mage build but not sure how good those can be. Ahh well, just got to see what happens !

 

[DanF]

yeah tbh there's not really much of an endgame goal so all builds are viable to play with in empowered monoliths unless you are trying to push for high numbers.

I really like the lightning sorc, you're just chucking around balls of static which melt pack of mobs, it's older and simpler so I think it's a bit less popular

Thanks, I have a look at that build later !

On another note, just played a bit after the update and now ALL loot don't show, unless you hit X to Enable the loot Filter, even if you have no filter applied !

Gonna try and verify files and see if that works, as well as have a peek into their forums, incase it is just my game.

Edit: Just reading on their forum and others have the same fault with the loot filter so wasn't just me going bonkers !

Edit 2: Forgot to mention the issue was fixed a few hours after it been reported so they were n the ball and sorted it out !
