Does it feel satisfying or is it abrupt? When the campaign is eventually finished, how would we get into the new content: would you just start over anew or would the character be easily integratable? No word on how EHG will do that (I don't think there's even an ETA for the rest of the campaign, so I doubt any sort of integration plan is finalizaed), but the thing about how the campaign and its rewards are laid out is that you don't have to do every single quest to get them all. There's X number of passive points and Y number of idol slots the campaign hands out, and it has many more of those numbers of quests that reward those, so they could just have the new parts of the campaign be more opportunities to get those. The current final boss does give out +1 to all attributes, but that's not super important (hell, I still haven't done it yet, although now that I'm level 83 I should just stomp the final act of the campaign to get it). Plus the game has a few skips (not in level, just in content) to where on your first character you can go straight into the endgame area pretty drat early, and even earlier on subsequent characters, so they have some flexibility as to how they implement the rest of the campaign. whypick1 fucked around with this message at 23:01 on Mar 7, 2024 |

You fight a big bad but the bigger bad escapes. So there's some level of resolution but there is also clearly more to go. New campaign content you would just pick up from where you left off. Post campaign you get dumped into a separate "End of Time" zone to do end game stuff. So as they add more campaign levels you can simply port to where the new area is and continue.

My understanding is that current end of the campaign was planned and they intend on adding the rest through a future cycle and I'm OK with that.

A Moose posted:I do have some questions about afflictions. The guide says I want "chance to apply Damned on hit" since it'll get converted to Bleed, so wouldn't it just be better to have bleed in that slot? Chance to apply damned on hit is a prefix that goes on helmets/chests - 77% is the max t5 roll. It competes with the shared you+minion chance to bleed on hit - 45% is the max t5 roll. The other chance to bleed on hit is a suffix that only goes on melee weapons.

Ghostlight posted:By default Steam's patch process is kind of loosey-goosey as it tries to schedule them based on some weird calculation of network traffic, computer activity, and how recently you played the game. You can right-click on the game and set it to High-Priority Updates in the properties and in my experience that will grab updates immediately rather than "as soon as possible". Thanks, went in and did that, and we'll see how it goes. It wasn't a huge deal to manually stop/restart Steam to pick them up, but that only works when I happen to know that a patch was published!

I play shatter strike spellblade & while I'm going to at least try flame reave (because I have 4x 3lp sunreaths) I'm expecting it to perform about the same (~600 corruption cap) because it's Pretty Melee and doesn't have insane ward generation

gnoma posted:As long as your resists are over 50% you are okay going into empowered. Having a good amount of effective life, whether from straight hp or ward, is a bigger deal (endurance is also huge if you are playing a health build.) You absolutely should use items with useless prefixes as along as they have good defenses and good implicits. You only want resists on ring and relic affixes in the long run, every other slot should have health or armor or damage/utility suffixes. Hey, just wanted to say thanks for this, I worked on it a little today and have about 1800 hp and I can do empowered monoliths now, took me 3 runs but I found a ring and the blessing so I'm crit proof now! https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A6Px8pXB also I have a ton of uniques I can't use, so I'm thinking of making an alt, can't decide if I wanna make a necro since I have the most gear for it, or something else.

Sentinel Forge Guard. Warpath (Cyclone) has a node that summons weapons while you're channeling it that normally come from attacking with Forge Strike.

Multistrike is the move to use for sword pulling imo. Turning multistrike stacks into swords along with the forge strike cooldown node you get guaranteed swords very fast.

Not sure how that mechanic works. Follow one path until you get to the final trio on the north side of the map, after you finish all 3 of those(Spirits of Fire, The Last Ruin and The Age of Winter) you can unlock empowered monoliths. Once they're unlocked you can run empowered monoliths on any timeline, even ones you didn't do the normal timelines on.

There's a chest that appears in the island between them to signify you completed that requirement and then every time you access the timeline entrance node, it'll ask you if you want the regular or empowered version.

The left side is all 'increased loot drop for x type of item' sort of thing.

Been doing my standard lazy icy necro, just another flavor of the fire necro someone else mentioned not too long ago. Golem, archers, mages, dread shade, and bone curse. Very easy once you understand the affixes. Cast curse, make minions attack, sit back and try not to get hit. Put points in minion damage, minion cold damage/pen, a little minion hp, and defenses. Cleared monolith Lagon at 71 and hit empowered monos at 78. It's stronger than ever with the addition of the flat damage affixes on weapons, hot drat. The minion pen affix is also relatively new and is very nice. I've actually been mostly playing on controller and once you get enough +bone curse AoE, aiming doesn't really matter. The targeting on dread shade can be pretty wonky, though. Bosses requiring precision minion movement are pretty much out of the question and I switch to KBM for those. Also what others have said where anything inventory related still really needs KBM. Wanted to mix it up and made a hammer guy to do merchant's guild with. The level 15 +throwing gloves combined with the smite idol I found on the necro meant I was able to pretty comfortably hit monos at level 35 with 500 or so hp. It's great when you can do this because you can just kind of go into an ARPG fugue state and some number of monos later you're level 55 with a bunch of points to spend and a full inventory. It's got some rough edges for sure but it's a really good game!

Oh so what do higher level monoliths mean in terms of loot? Like, for example, in POE it means higher item levels which unlocks better tiers of explicit mods. Is there something similar? Or just higher average rolls / more exalteds?

Better chances at exalted mods, which are just higher tiers of mods (T6+T7), and higher chances to get multiple exalted mods on the same item. It's pretty much the same as PoE in practice.

The challenge is farming new gear so you can continue to vampire survivors your way through higher difficulties. If I were running the show at EHG I'd just patch in "we fixed the warlock bug" and have it just be making the tooltip 40% instead of 4% to make the "it's not about nerfs, it's about

I burned out before 200 corruption. It seems to take forever to get it up there. I would clear monos and fight the boss twice before making it as far away as I could, and get about 40-70 corruption doing that. Problem is I jumped around to different timelines since the blessings I had sucked so getting any of them decently high seems to take forever. What's the best strategy, just focus on one that has the item type you're looking for and pump it a bunch of times?

If you're not chasing a blessing, then yeah go for whatever targets the thing you want. Beating the boss gives you +10 and shooting straight out is going to give you more corruption, but once you've got one up to the level you want the others get big corruption bonuses when you reset them. Getting one to over 300 was a slog, but getting the rest there is super fast.

My gear is pretty good but doesn't require legendaries (Allie falconer dive bomb) so I haven't had much motivating me to push corruption. I still haven't even tried all the dungeon types yet either but there's no carrot to strive for (for me at least) anymore.

I just realised the cause of my altitis in this game. Endgame is a tad loving obnoxiously boring. Yes, fresh release and all but the game lacks endgame, imo. No need to full clear maps, no in-map content outside exiled mages and ambushes.
