Last Epoch - aRPG (Kickstarter Demo available)

The server issues will probaly drop off after a week or so as people probably leave the game

Are you finding it fun at high level? How many hours you put in to get to 74 in 2 days?

Pretty much started this online character Thursday evening and got it to monoliths within 6-7 hours (started doing them around 54 ish) so another 20 levels gained since then over the course of yesterdays play session which was ~10 hours.

But I am by no means efficient as I was playing while I should have been working. So plenty of downtime between blasting moments.

For those that think the game is too easy and really like to suffer there's a secret mode in the game (previous known as masochist)

Playing it blind, putting points wherever and having a blast.

Speed and fluidity, as well as mob density put d4 to shame.

I find it funny that a bunch of the elitist poe guys I’ve played with over the years are non stop asking questions on what to do at every decision making point of the campaign. Just play the game in whatever way, you only get the first playthrough experience once.

It's pretty sad in a way that people are so indoctrinated to needing guides or be told what to do every step of the way, part of the soul of these types of games is the joy of just exploring the game mechanics, following ideas and learning your own way from success/failure, which this game has nailed on.

I love POE, but it's biggest failure is how completely unfriendly to beginners it has become, it pretty much pushes people into guides from the get go.

They aren't the only class that can be busted strong, but you know what that's fine. ARPG's are all about the power fantasy anyway.

I'm playing a screen wide explosion falconer so yeah, busted but so damn fun

219,000 currently playing.

Lots of busted builds, they can worry more about balancing in later seasons, more important to give people a fun experience to begin with, and in any case there's broken builds every season in POE.

Not played any long sessions today or yesterday but the transition time between areas has greatly improved from yesterday, that's for sure. Yesterday it took a couple minutes and today was like 10-15 seconds so much, much better ! But maybe someone that played for a few hours these last couple days might be able to answer better since it was just a quick jump in and out for me both days. But yes, it has improved and hopefully will continue to do so !

 

[jaffveyda]

I might start playing again until next league of POE will be announced .

Is there a way to convert an online character to offline, even if it will become perma offline?
Queue time today is 17k in eu-west

 

[MadMossy]

No unfortunately but there is a 3rd party save editor for offline so you could duplicate your online character if you wanted.

I wouldn't trust it personally as my steam account is old af with hundreds of games.

I have a 60k one lol (eu-west too)

 

[AStaley]

I had a 26K queue, went down to 17K and the let me in, now I’m sitting on the same loading screen for 5mins+.

 

[MadMossy]

Servers are borked nothing you can do about it. There is offline mode though if you want and that is flawless.

 

[DanF]

editing offline chars is fine and not against TOS if you wanna do it, once it's offline it can't go online so they don't really care

 

[jaffveyda]

So far it's just a loading simulator similiar to Lost Ark.

 

[Darujhistan]

Been playing offline sinch launch without a single issue...been having a blast.
