As long as "Chapter 10" and "Chapter 11" pop up on the screen just after you fight a boss, most people won't notice. Especially if at that point you're just thinking let me kill the main bad guy

Yeah if they leave it as a cliffhanger and then add it in like it's a free expansion then that's probably fine. Again, that's basically what D4 does (except we'll have to pay for it)

well poo poo https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722 quote:Resonances are a new item type which drop when you’ve played alongside a player for an extended period of time. Using a Resonance on an item will enable it to be gifted to that player even if they were not present when the item dropped. When a Resonance drops, it will drop with the player name in the item card to show who it enables gifting with. As you may notice from this example label, there are different types of Resonances: Obsidian Resonances, which are required for Legendary and Exalted Items, and Golden Resonances, which are required for Unique, Set, Rare, Magic, or Normal quality items. this is perfect lol

So what are item factions? The gist is you can either do find your own stuff with massively improved drop rates or you can trade? That was way too much text for my small brain to understand.

Yeah, that's basically it. You have to level the factions up, and you can swap between them freely. But items that get traded require you to be in the trade faction to equip, and items that are dropped when you're with the drop-likers require that you be in their faction to equip. So you can't mix and match items from both when you make a build.

Massively improved drop rates and also some target farming stuff where you buy prophecies that make specific types of items drop when you meet a trigger condition

The most concrete thing I've seen about multiplayer stuff is this discussion with a dev from the official discord (Mike W is the dev) The same dev has also said that multiplayer optimization is their top priority for1.0. Will probably hear more about it once there are actual patch notes and maybe once testers are outside of NDA. As for new endgame stuff, there may be some surprise stuff in 1.0 but they've said it will be more of a focus for later patches, 1.1+.

Hey guys. Been playing this after I got bored with the current Poe league. Actually bought this 4 years ago but got to monolith for the first time. Unlocked empowered but I'm only level 80 and they feel too hard right now. Playing the thorn totem shaman. Guess I grind the regular ones to get more levels.

Make sure you aren't stacking bad modifiers early on in empowered. Giving enemies multiple damage mods like Undead Enemies Deal x% damage and Enemies Deal x% Physical Damage is really tough. You really, really want to be in empowered monos once you have them unlocked. Empowered blessings are a big component of gearing and the improved exp and item drops are noticeable. Hitting them at level 80 is typical. The 10 extra levels and 50% damage and health are actually pretty small increases to monster difficulty. Modifiers lasting longer and becoming more annoying is the big thing to look out for. (And should change to some degree with the corruption tweaks in 1.0).

Think they'll ever make swapping blessings easier? That might be my only major complaint of any of their major systems. They should let you keep the highest blessing of each type that you've found or something.

monos requiring so much planning and effort to squeeze out middling rewards is what killed my original momentum. i hope the mono updates either make them less of a pain in the rear end or significantly more profitable it would also be nice if xp past the cap did something. converted to gold, maybe

On Act 5 at the moment, is this like Path of Exile in that you need to complete the campaign on every character or do you eventually unlock a skip for future characters?

You need to play enough of the campaign to get all your skill points and idol slots, mostly from sidequests, and get to a high-enough level to handle monoliths. You only need to complete the entire campaign if you really care about that +1 to all stats you get from beating the current final boss. (You shouldn't care.) They've said they eventually want to add more options for leveling, but for now it's just partial campaign runs.

There's also some advanced trickery you can do using dungeons to skip parts of the campaign but it's not really viable to do all the time, especially since to do it you need to clear a dungeon while probably significantly underleveled/undergeared.

like diablo ii you can pretty much just assblast your way through the game spamming through quest conversations. if you have the minimap open you can see the area level - you get experience capped at 5 levels above your character level, so when you drop below that you just keep moving. if you play offline like me then your character saves are in appdata\locallow - they have no file extension but are just text files you can open in notepad. you can completely bust the game by copying the [unlockedWaypointScenes] between characters to transfer unlocked waypoints. if you do this before a character reaches the refuge then they will just skip the entire game prologue completing all the quests as you log in. if they have access to the end of time they'll spawn there and you can just immediately choose a mastery.

The campaign is honestly very fast to blast through. I don't think there's much to gain by skipping it. Oh thank god.

A launch trailer to generate hype a month before this game that's been in early access forever launches seems perfectly normal to me  Looking forward to it, really hope they don't bung this up.

Even just playing an online character on your own can be suboptimal. I just played ten levels on my druid with the were bear charge going nowhere or just teleporting several seconds after pressing the button, and entering zones was just pure jank.

As someone who's been intermittently keeping tabs on Last Epoch, what's the current deal with online characters and any sort of "ladder/non-ladder" (or season, or whatever) status before official release?

Offline is the only way to play right now. I mean, not literally, but Multiplayer has issues so why would anyone choose to subject themselves to that.

The big issue they oughta take care of is the delay after clicking portals, and there was a dev interview recently where they argued about why players call that lag when it isn't technically lag. Kind of got the impression they don't think it's a big deal, but if it launches like that, people are going to just slam them.

I tried playing the game with a friend a while ago and we stopped after a couple of hours because the delays when changing zones was too much. We found it to be unplayably bad. I'm not going to play the online mode, ever, if they don't fix that.
