I've gotten a few keys as well, should I be using those? you could probably use the soulfire and arena keys at your discretion, but the temporal sanctum keys are best saved for later since the reward for completing those is making legendary gear out of legendary potential pieces and exalted items, and the other key (can't remember the name) is just a huge gold sink and kinda sucks

At lower levels though it's better with a bleed focus (puncture etc). Worth noting also that the bow version is designed to be used by Marksman, not Falconer. It'll be lame without all the bow support passives.

Is there a way to only upgrade an affix by 1 tier? I want to throw something on a piece of leveling gear but don't want to waste a bunch of shards on it knowing that it'll be trash in a few levels. Edit: It turns out you can only craft 1 tier at a time even though the crafting menu will show your entire stack for that affix in the crafting menu.

Nope. There's been some movement among players to make mats go straight into the forge and also be automatically picked up, but the devs haven't done it (yet).

The bird is the real damage is when bossing I tested melee/spear valkyrie dive bomb fueled by net/puncture in the mid 60s and it felt awful compared to bow dive bomb + explosives. The valkyrie dive bomb animation is so slow and looks bad. Expected a dragoon jump and got a very low oomph leap slam

Can I permanently disable global chat? I see no reason to ever interact with that but still would like to have chat enabled in general for friend whispers and whatnot. Just annoying having to uncheck it every time I log in. Edit: Servers definitely seem better tonight after that update.

I saw someone mention it before but didn't know if there was an answer, I'm seeing loot on the ground that I can't grab even with my loot filter disabled.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion about how much people hate redoing the campaign in ARPGs every season, maybe it was driven by the Shroud clip where he talks about how that keeps him from getting into PoE more often, and I both get it, but also don’t. I get that running the same campaign over and over is boring, but what are the better alternatives? In D3 you could run the same 2-3 zones to maintain a big kill streak, or wait until someone who leveled in a group in rifts power levels you. D4 lets you skip the campaign and the optimal strategy is to run half a dungeon on repeat for hours. Neither option is compelling. It seems like no one wants to admit it, but what they really want is a WoW level skip that will let you start the season at level 60, with everything unlocked, so you can dive right into the endgame without any sort of journey up to that point. As someone who averages 4 characters a league in PoE, I’m as sick as anyone of running the same campaign over and over, but scaling down the end game so it works at level one seems like a good way to burn players out and have them quit early. If I am stuck doing the same thing from level 1 to 100, I’ll probably bail before I even hit 90.

My main issue with PoE's campaign is how long it is. I much preferred the old days when there were only 3 or 4 acts and you just did them a few times on increasing difficulty levels. The shorter repetitions were easier to stomach than 10 distinct acts. It doesn't help that I find the latter half of the campaign pretty unremarkable. Before it came out I remember thinking/hoping (can't remember why, based on some of the locations available in maps maybe?) that the second half of the game was going to be like a time travel thing where you visit the same areas in the past, kind of like Last Epoch ended up doing, but it just ended up being literally the same areas configured slightly differently. I could walk you through the entire game up to Act 4 from memory and from there on it's just a blur. I do think ARPGs need some kind of linear progression to go through to really feel like you're building up to something, it just doesn't need to be a long narrative. If you could just run through the same areas in PoE but ignoring the objectives and doing league mechanics to level up I'd be fine with it. Just having to do the exact same stuff in the same order gets a bit grating.

I just wish that clearing a monolith timeline gave you a couple idol slots and a passive point so you could max those out that way if you wanted to instead of via the campaign.

I find PoE's campaign nearly intolerable, but I have no issue with LE's. I think the biggest difference for me is that in Last Epoch you can steadily build power towards your actual final build, whereas in PoE every character after your first of the league is using some leveling twink build that has no relation to the final character you're actually building (because the character you're building usually doesn't function at all until like level 85). The result is that the campaign feels like a chore that has to be completed before you can actually play the character you want to.

I agree with the above post, I've run both PoE and LE campaigns a million times and LE feels less tedious. It's still tedious, but a full skip + free level up like an MMO also isn't the answer because the power progression is a core feature of ARPGs. This is probably dumb but it almost seems like the solution is just a special, fast-paced, high-exp dungeon or series of dungeons that catapult you into the end game. You only unlock it after completing the campaign once. It takes 15 minutes or an hour or something and then you're level 60 and ready for monoliths. So, Adventure Mode from D3 but with an actual plan behind it, basically. Just formalize what people are doing anyway and make it fun!

queeb posted:ok once you get cthonic fissure to like lvel 8 or 9 holy gently caress things take off. I'm also playing a warlock with cthonic fissure as my primary damage, using bone curse before the fissure and then using spirit plague on bosses and tough single targets. Currently using skels and a bone golem but I think I'm going to spec into bone golem as my tank and ditch the skels and then shift to the curse/soul feast hopefully after I get warlock to 35. I'm completely winging this build and having fun. I'm normally a 'follow a build guide' player because I have a hard time envisioning in my head how things synergize, but so far doing pretty drat well and only got close to dying a couple of times. I need to spend a little bit of time with the Character Planner at Maxroll to figure out how I need to respec my skills to get what I actually want for best effect at 20.

Because unlike what people think Setec_Astronomy posted:because the character you're building usually doesn't function at all until like level 85 stop picking bad builds USUALLY people don't know what they actually want so giving them what they need is better. That's good game design. Because people in poe, for example, already have an option to do campaign in 3 hours or less, with twink gear even faster. But no that's  , people "want mindlessly" spam t0 maps or some poo poo until they ???? burnout at level 50People don't realise that all that power they blast maps through with comes way later. Regularly after 32+ skills/uniques, ascendancy or two and before that its a loving slog that will kill their desire to play even faster than the obligatory "ohmygawd acts again"

imo if you get rid of the campaign people will just complain about the boring leveling from 1-80 as the roadblock to rerolling as an aside, you can go to delve at level 30 and play that all the way to level 90+ without ever doing any story and then just blitz the story at max speed, but no one does that

You get rocketed into level 70 and then actually start to engage with loot. No need to dick around with leveled loot, no need to mash through quest text, and with the altar in they might as well just save you the hour and have a button to skip it all. I don't think it's just a Campaign/Skip Campaign choice, though. LE's doesn't seem to be full of escort quests and other junk that's normally infuriating so you're basically just
