SHISHKABOB posted:Raxx made a pretty good guide that I followed to make a semi lovely filter of my own. It was only like 6 rules, one of which was hide everything and the last was show all uniques. I haven't had this issue except for one rogue skill that I didn't have enough runes/glyphs/whatever they are to increase stats on it. But it's easy enough to add a new rule at the top that just says "shows items with that affix" then shatter 'em.

There's probably still some skill for my own class that I haven't seen at all.

Oh sure it's probably not ever gonna happen for me either since I don't play the game that hardcore. But it's also nice for when you play alts.

I found a 15 Weave belt that started with Health % and Lightning Resist, then waisted its last 4 rolls on Minion Health. So the game is officially bad. But then I found the Elemental Nova hat, so the game was good again.

Reoxygenation posted:Yeah this is the one complaint I have about the game, the story is whatever I don't care for it but a lot of it is gated behind later stuff (especially idol slots) and man I just don't care about redoing the story that many times even if there's shortcuts. Even with the shortcuts it's all too long. Especially since factions are locked near the end of the (current) campaign. I've also noticed that a lot of maps just exist to exist to make the story longer and while they aren't visually unpleasing a lot of it just feels like padding to be padding. Especially since the game does not currently use all that real estate like Diablo 3 does with its bounties and bosses and whatever else. The support for alts feels a little half-assed and disjointed to me. Every character has to play up until you make your sub-class choice, which is the most boring part of the game. You can do the dungeon skips and get high enough to where you can just grind monoliths for levels, however, doing that means you gotta eventually go back and get idols and passive points. An easy solution to me would just make killing a monolith boss award a passive point and idol slot until you max it out. You should also get the ability to teleport to the observatory upon joining CoF and not have to progress the story to the last act. One other thing I really hate in this game is the lack of a custom chat channel like we have with 5555 in POE to get away from all the terrible pubbie jokes that fills chat. I really feel like I am playing a single player game since I have chat muted. Edit: The nice thing is all my complaints about this game are pretty easily addressed.

There was a post to that effect on the subreddit and one of the EHG devs replied that they are aware of it and are working on ways to make the game more alt friendly. Different post but another dev said to expect a big bug fix patch some time this week.

marshalljim posted:Could somebody explain this? Glyphs of chaos (which changes the type of the mod) and glyphs of despair (which seal the mod, getting it out of the way and ideally providing a marginal benefit) both require you to actually have a shard of the original affix to upgrade. They're both less dangerous than using runes of removal

marshalljim posted:Could somebody explain this? You can reroll one specific affix off an item, leaving all the others alone, with a Glyph of Chaos. However, you need to have a shard for that affix to do this, so there's a reason to collect even shards you don't plan to use, in order to get rid of unwanted affixes on otherwise good items.

Oh I get it now. The wording before was a little ambiguous. "He also emphasized how you want to pick up items with other class skills on them, because otherwise when it comes time to try and craft off a bad affix from an otherwise perfect legendary-worthy exalted, you will be stuck." You want to pick up the other class items to shatter for shards. Not that you want to favor picking up the other class items because there is some weird benefit to rerolling those to get the affixes you want.

Rolled a falconer and I'm actually paying attention to the story for the first time. Honestly those cutscenes add a lot of context but it is funny that I never realized that the Giant Elk and Fire Bird were supposed to be gods. (And the firebird is the main bad guy). Also that Eterra is the name of a dead goddess and not the planet.

Just checking to see if I missed anything, but the story just kind of ends right? We never get the lance all powered up, never kill the firebird, and never find the snake lady doing void poo poo, and never kill the Emperor?

You know given that the campaign's main gimmick is switching between different eras and timelines, I'm surprised there is no dedicated Chronomancer class archetype. Maybe that's reserved for the expansion.

Mailer posted:The most help you're going to get from someone else's filter is looking through the filter itself and learning what affixes are rare/valuable. Creating a filter is extremely easy, but knowing what you want to filter is a bit more reading. It also ties into the crafting system, since filtering for the perfect stats means you'll never see loot that could have been crafted into a really good item. The upside to that learning curve is once it's done then every drop (well, almost, since you can't filter uniques by LP) is worth your time to check. Thanks, I did find a good template to get started. It's easier to understand than setting a POE one up for sure. Is it worth it picking random stuff up off the ground to vendor it? I like that the inventory does feel a lot larger than POE so it's not as much of a slowdown to do it. Also is the in game DPS value when you hover over your skills a good indicator of damage? Does it take into account a lot of the different variables? Or is it kind of like POE where I needed to use Path of Building to actually figure out if certain affixes were going to upgrade me or downgrade me.

Vendoring is mostly a waste of time, but picking up stuff with useful and/or rare affixed to shatter is good

I feel like you should also be able to shatter uniques, even if you can't modify them otherwise. Maybe they can break down into some of rarer class shards.

bamhand posted:It stops being a problem after you hit empowered monos and get your gold boost blessing. My complaint is that it should directly cost gold instead of making you buy a rune of shattering first. This feels ambivalent to me because if it just costs gold then there's way less of a bottleneck on shattering/acquiring shards (even now with the boost to the number of runes vendor stock, I can afford way more than are actually available) so it stops being a decision on which items are worth it and starts being Just A Thing You Do where the only limit is your tolerance for tedium - and since we're talking about ARPG players that could get messy. Kind of the same reason vendoring isn't really worth it except maybe at the very start of the game - sure, more gold is better than less gold (this is even more true for gold than for shards since eventually you'll have enough of almost everything for any plausible crafting you actually want to do) but nobody wants there to be a reason to pick up anything you aren't going to use, and making more shatters available makes more items useful but not in a way that's actually fun for anyone. otoh the game does probably need more gold sinks

In today's patch notes (https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-patch-1-0-2-notes/66953) EHG gave their stance on fixing bugs mid-season:quote:Our current stance is that we won’t issue mid-cycle changes for balance, such as with Profane Veil’s Vampiric Blood node. While the node is much stronger than intended, it’s not causing performance issues and so it will instead be changed with the next cycle patch. Also, from a dev post on reddit: quote:I'd love to release these bug fixes, but we also have to consider the damage that can potentially be caused by modifying balance mid-cycle. It can cause players to feel like any build they make that finds a clever way to be effective could at any moment get nerfed, wasting all their effort. That's a really bad feeling, and we want players to be able to trust that we won't do that to them. It's a pretty wild take, imo. In order to not make players feel bad about their builds getting nerfed (by bug fixes) they are creating an environment where you get to choose between 40k eHP with max investment on a 2h Void Knight or millions of eHP with mild investment on a Profane Veil abusing Warlock. Like they think somehow that doesn't feel bad for the Void Knight player.

gnoma posted:The loot filter system is setup so it's very easy to make adjustments and tweak stuff on the fly. It definitely wasn't designed to force you into copying other people's settings. If you only want to play like a week at the start of cycle a la D3 seasons then probably copying a filter from a guide is going to be more convenient but in general it's worth taking 30 minutes to sit down and figure out a system you want to use for yourself. This is a genuinely helpful post thank you! but also lol at the gamifying of loot filters, copying an existing one seems like a good idea
