Unless they changed something you can just jump straight to monoliths as soon as you get to the end of time though? You will obviously be underleveled for a bit, but I found it easy enough on my second character.

I've forgotten the order of the campaign but I think you go to Council Chambers (and thus can get to Lightless Arbor) way earlier than you go to End of Time normally, so if you have the necessary keys this skips a lot more of the campaign I guess?

Still so excited that they include a content mode for people who don't want to engage with the player market, it's my major ARPG complaint.

No trade for me, I enjoy getting drops more than I like shopping. e: also the crafting system is so good I think it will mitigate a lot of the RNG that plagues SSF zoux fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Feb 13, 2024 |

You can still do this, and you can party up with someone who is in EoT and teleport to them as soon as you make a character (unless joining a party is gated behind something, it's been a while)

Probably no-trade as well, Im interested to see how in depth the whole item prophecy drop system gets and how much you can fine tune it to what you want to show up

Wont you be missing some relic slots/points if you start monoliths as soon as you get to end of time? Or did they change that?

Kaddish posted:Wont you be missing some relic slots/points if you start monoliths as soon as you get to end of time? Or did they change that? You will, but there are more available in the campaign than you're able to use, so you can bail as soon as you've done enough quests to hit the cap.

zoux posted:No trade for me, I enjoy getting drops more than I like shopping. This is where I'm at as well. Will this game have some sort of "official shop" or will it be like PoE where you need to whisper people manually and hope they respond / haven't sold it already? Not that that will impact my decision, but I'm just curious.

Ah, an in-game mechanism for buying & selling would go a long way to make trading not Miserable. And I guess everything just being Gold-based instead of Bartering will probably make it more tolerable for me too. But I'm still inclined to go SSF.

And if you don't like it you can switch without losing your progress with the faction. You just can't equip items that you got via your old faction (traded items / bonus drops from ssf faction)

If i buy the game (see next months finances) i'll be playing offline and relying on Prophecies forever.  Refused to trade in POE but relying on ssf can be crippling there. Never played D4 but LE potentially looks like a nice upgrade from Grim Dawn for me.

I wonder how prepared EHG are for the ARPG FotM legions to descend on their servers at launch. It took GGG years to get their league launches smooth.

Well I'm basically done with 3.23 in PoE and am looking to try out LE again for the release. I've only played like 10 hrs or so a while back, so I'm interested in build suggestions. Here's my favorite aspects of some PoE builds - - Cool visual effects, specifically explosion/herald chains. This is prob the most important deciding factor lol - Trigger builds such as cast on crit (do these exist in LE?) - Ranged builds. Bow or spells preferably. Not opposed to melee but not what I usually go for either - Not particularly interested in minion or totem playstyles, but not totally opposed Also I know they haven't been played with yet, but I'm curious on opinions between the two factions. I'm leaning the SSF faction cause I've always liked the concept for PoE but don't really have the time to get as much out of it vs what I can do in trade. I don't mind trading either, though, if initial thoughts are that the SSF faction perks don't boost drops enough. I don't really have a feel for any of this as I've barely played, maybe base drop rates are just fine!

Traitorous Leopard posted:I don't really have a feel for any of this as I've barely played, maybe base drop rates are just fine! In the current game which doesn't have trading, ssf is fine, obviously. I believe they've said though that for the release that the current drop rates are going to be cut by quite a bit. I can't help you out with a build suggestion, but one of the newer spellcaster classes is pretty neat (runemaster). Too complex for me, but might be up your alley. Depending on what order you cast in a row, different things happen. There's a crap ton of effects this can make. Seemed quite unique.

Disappointed D4 player here. This game seems cool and I think I’m gonna give it a go. I was just curious if there’s any reason to buy and play before the game is released, or just wait for release?

yeah, offhand i'd say check out reign of winter marksman, runemaster or sorc, maybe umbral/shadow or orb vk if purple balls count as cool visuals i don't think anyone knows for certain yet how the faction balance will play out but in the current ssf iteration it's reasonably easy to craft or farm basic endgame gear as is until you get into more esoteric builds - it's been a minute since i've played an ssf league, but i think last epoch is more generous in that regard i'll start ssf and maybe flip to trade if i have a good enough reason

There's a cosmetic pet you get for buying any version before 1.0 releases. Other than that, since the first 'season' content is going directly into eternal, you could do the campaign and be directly at the new stuff when 1.0 launches instead of leveling first (unless you wanted to play falconer or warlock).

I've only played like 10 hrs or so a while back, so I'm interested in build suggestions. Here's my favorite aspects of some PoE builds - Building around Bleed Overload and Rip Blood on Warlock or Lich should fit what you're asking for. Bleed Overload casts a spell called Rip Blood every second while its active. Rip Blood can be specced to recast itself when it kills enemies and has a subskill in its tree called Blood Splatters that deals area damage. It can be triggered via a movement skill (Transplant) and used as a spammable for single target. Hitting 25 stacks of bleed to trigger the overload is pretty easy even for a crit build, so you don't even necessarily need to scale ailment damage. This is what the necrotic conversion looks like on Lich currently without the extra casts from Bleed Overload: https://imgur.com/poJcRPR.mp4 No planners for it but here is a recent build guide for a physical lich version: Wrong Warp Blood Explosion 160% Movement Speed Lich Another good option for flashy, satisfying clear is spark charges on Mage. It's a lightning ailment that explodes for a big hit after 2 seconds or when another spark charge is applied. It uses a unique offhand called Fragment of the Enigma that is pretty easy to find and scales with int and spell crit, which makes it an easy fit for many Mage builds. Here is what it looks like with Elemental Nova: https://imgur.com/nnSpY2f.mp4 There are a ton of versions of it since it's a popular archetype. Lightning Blast, Runic Invocation, Frostclaw, Mana Strike.

Fortune. You can still give items to players in the same party when they drop, and you find things that let you gift items to people you've played with a lot that they weren't in the party for.

As someone who has been playing since day 1 early access, I promise that Last Epoch is extremely good. It blows Diablo IV out of the water for quality. Excited to see so many new goons jumping in soon.

I second that it's a very good game. it still has some bugs, but it's a far cry from mess that some people might remember it to be from the first couple early access builds. it doesn't have poe endgame depth, but there's still plenty to chew on and plenty of builds to explore. you can make insanely powerful leveling gear to the point that your secondary characters could be entering the endgame as early as level 15. I wouldn't put too much stock into the endgame build guides, but I highly recommend looking at the loot filter guides.
