Last Epoch - aRPG (Kickstarter Demo available)

I did jump on for an hour and I'm undecided on what I think.

trying to get used to the controls coming from D4.

Do you need to repair your items? I seemed to have gone from doing ok to taking a lot of damage.
No need to repair items, but important to swap out for upgrades as often as you can throughout the story as the armour/evasion ratings on the gear do make a difference.

You should try to prioritize some resistances as soon as possible too via gear/crafting or the passive trees, they make a big difference even early on.

Pretty sure there is a ring base type that's available quite early on the gives an implicit roll of increased elemental resistances.
 
That would be a silver ring, you also want to try keep your void resistance fairly high for when you're in the void areas.

I would also recommend get used to crafting its a huge thing in the game and really easy to understand.

The graphics are getting an update for the 1.0 launch and I think they will be a big improvement. You can see a bit of them in this recent video:


I'm looking forward to giving it another good go on launch but I didn't enjoy it much when I tried it last year.

How is controller support doing now ? When I last played the beta about 6 months ago that aspect was still a bit buggy.

Just trying and it's usable but still has some issues. On a lot of screen right thumb moves mouse curser, I think big crafting or item management sessions will need mouse.
General gameplay is pretty good depending on your build, melee is good but as usual some ranged targeting issues.
Once nice thing is it detects PS5 pad and sets the correct icons, so many games just show xbox buttons only

Oh I don't think you can rebind anything, so it's just default button config unless changing stuff via steam mapping

edit: really need a mouse for item management and crafting, but combat is fine

Thankfully yes it does look like the graphics are getting an update on release. I was concerned about it looking like a 10 year old game at first. I wonder if Nvidia drivers will get updated wednesday too
 
1.0 Patch notes:

 
1.0 Patch notes:

That is some patch notes, 7 pages lol
 
mm so many bug fixes, watch out for bait builds which used bugs or gimmicks to get damage pre-1.0
campaign and monolith changes sound pretty spicy as well, chapter 5 rough for HC players
 
Think I'm going to roll a Mage Sorceror or some sort of crowd control class (frost shaman?). Really looking forward to this game as I dinged 100 in Diablo yesterday
