I know I am going to start Sentinel, but I just can't decide between Paladin and Void Knight. I was pretty on board with Void Knight until I saw Phox's judgment video last night.

Why is the patch for 1.0 getting released at the same time as launch? Any clue how large it is?

To make sure even the "Truly Offline" players start at the same time as the rest of us.

The download when I bought it, which seems largely pointless now if I have to do it all over again, was ~8GB decompressing to ~17GB apparently. Plan accordingly, etc.

Yea I still plan to attempt MP even though I don't rrrrreally have anyone I'll play with regularly.

A major downside to pretty much every modern non-competitive multiplayer game is adding in a shitload of stuff to do but no way to actually coordinate it. Warlock wants to do X, Falconer wants to do Y, and no way to filter it without a shitload of talking to randoms so gently caress it we solo now.

They said they're didn't allow pre-downloading because then people would be able to play the "true offline" mode before release, since it wouldn't even check steam. Or something like that.

hopefully they learn their lesson in about 35 minutes and only do this the one time. I realize that offline players are going to be a more significant slice of the playerbase than many people think, but it doesn't effect anything for the online players outside maybe some real nerds getting a couple hours of practice on the new patch on a throwaway charcter. it's not like all the data isn't already charted and put on offsites

I'm going to drown! For no reason at all!

It’s probably for the best at launch just to help naturally spread out logins a bit.

I've called Steam to confirm there will be extra download servers for this game.

If you like free cosmetics, they're doing twitch drops starting on Thursday, one a day for four days, then repeating the four. https://twitch.lastepoch.com/

Kind of weird, most people would do like a 1 to 4 hour reward on launch, looks like they're trying to do more of a sustained drop schedule.

Those falconer videos caught my eye and I was thinking of going that route. Bird goes brrr looks cool
But, I usually go for easy-ish 2-button-ish sort of builds, so am I right in thinking that if I try to play a rogue type I'm creating a bit of a square hole round pin type of scenario? Or is it not as tricky as I'm now fearing?
( I realise that most people haven't played it yet, but you lot are good at working out how this stuff will play out)

I don't understand what this means and I've read this like 5 times.

Do you think you wont be able to patch the game on steam because of server load?

Rogue has a lot of skills that can trigger other skills. The meta shadow daggers facloner is two buttons for clear and an extra button for defense on bosses.

Yeah, the Steam client can take up to 20 minutes to see a new update, but manually closing the client and restarting it can pick it up faster.

If you had broken character creation on the bingo card, you win.

In any given game with many multiple avenues of advancement depending on what you want, there's usually a bad matchmaking setup. I want a thing for whatever class/race/spec/whatever I am, and you want something entirely different, and at best you get a loose level-banded option for grouping.

Edit: About a 7GB update. Not bad. Shame I won't get to play for like 15 more hours, but meh.
