Martout posted:I'm going to start Falconer and try to create some kind of explosive trap detonating arrow build. Some of the nodes in the explosive trap skill tree look nuts with traps throwing more traps and traps shooting detonating arrows and I want to see if it can be made into a functioning build This build has been extensively theory-crafted already and is likely to be a popular one on launch (albeit with blast rain/bows rather than actually throwing traps). Don't watch this video if you want to figure it out on your own though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu3Wv6aKN5g

gnoma posted:Both letools and maxroll panners are updated for 1.0 now, including uniques Huh... Digging through all the data, it seems like Detonating Charge, the subskill flagged as the version of Explosive Trap that you attach to enemies with melee attacks, is tagged as a Bow attack? And lightning? As opposed to throwing, melee, or fire. That seems very wrong to me. Although I'm not sure how much I should trust a pre-release version of a hidden, uncastable skill.

I think the link in the OP is broken but we're all still playing in that discord together. Got a lot ready for 1.0 in a few days. https://discord.gg/gDGCVwfuSB

I didn't really understand any of it beyond the lighting and general improvements. So... is patch good? Is patch full of destructive turbonerfs? Should I apply Diablo logic and wait ten years?

The big thing if you didn't look at the notes is that the game will be down 24 hours before launch. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/planned-server-downtime-tuesday-february-20th-at-11-00-ct/62657

J posted:The crafting in this game is great because you can engage with it right away without feeling like you're wasting resources that "should" be saved for endgame crafting projects later. I think it is literally the best crafting system in an arpg wrt the amount of power behind it relative to the obtuseness of the system as a whole. Overall it's a pretty elegant solution to arpg crafting

Full controller support sounds very nice. They specifically mention they removed all the annoying auto targeting, and fixed movement abilities too.

Now they've taken the servers down for "patching" in hopes of making the game "playable" and I demand compensation for the lack of servers in my unpurchased game! This is a slap in the face to everyone considering purchasing at this specific two-day block of time! Got two friends who were pumped to play despite not playing together since the early D3 season days, so I really hope the servers become usable in the first week.

The footage they showed of Falconer was compellingly badass. No idea if that turns into Ignore The Bird or Nothing But Bird in the endgame, but it's at least a kind of nifty idea. Not an Inferno Firehawk, or Raging Hellhound or whatever... just a bird living his best, murderous life.

Nearly bought the game yesterday, but Wolcen traumatised me too much.  In a week or two.

Just Another Lurker posted:Nearly bought the game yesterday, but Wolcen traumatised me too much. While there's absolutely no reason to not buy it now (the game has been a good buy for at least a couple of years), there's also no harm in waiting a week or two. If you want to play offline, there's not really even a ton to worry about. If you want to play online, yeah, waiting a week or two is always a good idea for almost every game these days, heh. I saw yesterday even their forums had some banner message up about high server load for a bit (because of the patch notes). Semi-related, but lastepochtools.com was down a lot yesterday too. Not sure if that was due to traffic or updates. But this morning the site mostly isn't working at all (at least yesterday it was cloudflare). Not that LE Tools is ran by EHG, but just that the game hype is reaching critical levels so there's no way online play won't be a bit of a shitshow for a while.

LET has been working fine for me the last hour poking around with a Bird Build  And yea if we had another Wolcen on our hands, we'd know by now. Game's been in EA for years and is good. But of course spend your dollars however you wish.

Never did the Diablo thing, POE was my start along with Titan Quest and Grim Dawn. Wolcen was a waste of £15... i seem to be a sucker for convoluted skill trees and Diablo never had that.

Ended up playing a necromancer up to 35. Doubt I stick with that for launch but I'll probably still go with the acolyte and then do warlock or lich. Probably warlock. Leveling to there was fine and easy overall. I have to agree with the folks that say spells and abilities lack "oomph". It's definitely noticeable coming straight over from finishing the D4 season journey but it doesn't really take away from enjoyment of the game. I'm excited to play this in a few days.

No one got locked out for a week while exhausted techs tried to convince management that maybe the unused desktop in the closet wasn't good enough server architecture, no endless looping of lost progress, it just kind of worked in a way things didn't used to. I expect LE to be mashed to hell on day one with all the youtube videos being made drawing in crowds but hopefully they either have plans to scale temporarily or manage to ride out the crush quickly.

Last I played (march 2023) Mechanics wise it seemed... fine, and the story wasn't any worse than Diablo 3's, but I kept getting inventory corruption issues which I found references to going back years. Annnd... just checked and I found one thing about that kind of issue which was related to switching characters and I only had one character. My verdict is "don't buy unless it's on a really steep sale"

Honestly I was just trying to find a list of all the Uniques to scroll through. I was looking at Talents earlier more just to get a high level idea of what Tags the Falconer might want, wasn't really concerned about like optimizing my build. Respecs are painless enough that if winging it fails me come Monolith time... Not a huge deal to rectify it!

Yeah, I'd rather just have a list of skills than a calculator. Like, you can't even look at a skill tree on that site without first allocating enough passive points to "learn" it, which is incredibly annoying.

Anno posted:There’s a Reddit AMA ongoing: https://reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1avmmnx/ama_we_are_eleventh_hour_games_makers_of_last/ quote:We’ve scale tested for months with third parties, consultants, the help of infra providers, and our own backend team. We have the ability to scale servers quickly, have reserved a large amount of bare metal machines, and do not have a maximum spend for cloud overflow- it’s all elastic. From the extensive testing we’ve done, unless we do have a really crazy turnout, we should be stable. It’s not lost on us that many much larger companies than us have had issues at launch though... We’re optimistic and if there are issues it certainly won’t be for lack of effort, spend, or ignorance to the importance of launch day.
