Trading

Player economy is one of the most enjoyable aspects of this genre for many players and we want to do it justice. Last Epoch will have a Bazaar system in which players will be able to anonymously buy and sell items from other players using the gold they’ve found on their adventures.

As a seller, you may have up to 5 items listed on the Bazaar at a time and once a starting price and closing time have been set you will be unable to prematurely remove the listing. Other players will then be able to bid on your listings and once the bidding window is up the winner will receive your item and you will receive the gold they bid on it. While you will have to be physically at the Bazaar to list new auctions, you will be able to track your current items at any time through a special UI window.

As a buyer, you will be able to search through all of the items within the Bazaar using an extensive filtering system to narrow down your options and help you find the exact item you want. Once you’ve bid on an item, the gold you’ve bid will be removed from your inventory and if someone outbids you this gold will be returned to you. If you have the current highest bid on an item once the auction closes, congratulations! You won the item! Be wary to not get too caught up in bidding wars though, the Bazaar takes a percentage of the gold you’ve bid if you win, and this percentage increases as the listing’s closing time draw nearer.

We are designing this system very carefully to ensure that while the Bazaar can be a fantastic way to find certain items, it will never overshadow the rewards of engaging with the world yourself. In the world of Eterra, particularly powerful uniques known as “legendaries”, gear crafted using rare and potent materials, relics and more will not be able to be traded. We want playing the game to be the core focus of Last Epoch, not maximizing your trade skills, even if skillful trading can help fill holes in your build.

Fear not, friends will be able to freely gift items between each other as long as they have been friends for a reasonable amount of time and both own the full game. The definition of “reasonable amount of time” will be a function of the level of items you are attempting to trade and the length of time you have been on each other’s friend list. In addition to this, gold will not be giftable to other players.

End Game Systems

Monolith of Fate

Travel through worlds that never were and times that could have been by exploring the Monolith of Fate. The Monolith has been obscured by the Void and it is up to you to rediscover all the possibilities of history and construct new timelines!

A quick example: You start off with a single timeline zone, accessible via the Monolith, which lets you play through a new questline in the Ancient Era. Perhaps this questline has you participating in the war between northern God Heorot and the rebellious tribes that follow his corrupted son. The normal series events would be that Heorot prevails and rules kindly over the humans of the north, this version of the Divine Era is what you witnessed in the main story’s timeline, and you could, of course, let this transpire and have that timeline on the Monolith. OR you could betray Heorot and side with his son and the rebel barbarians. This makes a new branch on the Monolith, an alternate timeline, and subsequently a new timeline zone and questline to visit.

When you finish this questline and make this choice, you’ve now unlocked an alternate timeline zone for the Divine Era. In this alternate timeline, instead of Heorot peacefully ruling the humans of the north it is now ruled by his vicious son and hordes of his centaurs and satyrs are sweeping through the world. This new questline in this new alternate timeline would offer even more choices that result in even more alternate timelines.

Gates of Memorium

Travel back to the world of Eterra that you knew, even as its dangers rise to meet your newfound strength. Though the Gates of Memorium bring the recollection of your adventure to life, no memory is perfect, your memory and thus the version of Eterra you find yourself may become fearsome in ways you do not expect. (explore the pre-endgame world again but scaled to your level with the possibility of augmenting areas of the world to add new challenges)

Epoch’s Call

As you adventure through the different times of Eterra, the Epoch will guide you to sources of aberration in the timeline. Creatures that belong to another Era, places that should not exist, even other time travelers with goals less noble than yours. Correcting them will result in valuable rewards that will make you eager to hunt these anomalies down. Even as you explore the Monolith of Fate and traverse the Gates of Memorium the Epoch will still beg you to heed its call!

Time-Lost Colosseum

Enter the Time-Lost Colosseum and battle other travelers lost in the infinite pathways of time. Engage in duels, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, and free for all combat as you vie for dominance in an arena discarded and forgotten by reality, the perfect battleground for warriors with nothing to lose. Earn cosmetic rewards that flaunt your skill in battle and grow your Pile of Skulls!

Lost Memories

In Last Epoch, you will see and engage with countless stories, from world-shattering champions to lowly orphans, each of these stories leaves its mark in the form of Lost Memories. You will find these Lost Memories in places that are important to the story of these individuals and assemble them to gain unique benefits.

To illustrate this, let’s look at the Lost Memories that tell the story of Leonus Wyvernbane. You first learn of Leonus from battling the Legionaries of Rahyeh, one happens to drop a Sunspear of particular significance. This is a Lost Memory. This Memory will guide you to hunt the wyverns of the mountain, you go forth and slay one after the other until finally, a Wyvern Tail drops. You are close now, and you have your final hint. You are lead to a time after Legionnaires, where wyverns are long extinct. You track down an old woman willing to sell you a Venom-stained Death Shroud, her last heirloom from a long-forgotten ancestor. This last Memory completes the story.

Leonus Wyvernbane was a Legionnaire of Raheyh who favored coating his spear with the venom of wyverns, he took great pride in hunting them. Alas, that pride would be his downfall as the hunter became the hunted. With this Lost Memory assembled you have unlocked the ability to strike with the deadly venom of a wyvern in addition to knowing a little more about the history of Eterra.

There will be online and offline: We know that many people really want to either play offline or online and not having your preferred play mode available could make a game unplayable. We want you to be able to play the way you want and with the people you want. We are building Last Epoch with cooperative and competitive online multiplayer, offline single, and LAN support. Form a party of up to five players online to take down the biggest baddest monsters in the timeline or face the terrors alone. The online experience will be crafted to prevent cheating of all sorts.

PVP: Battle other players lost in the infinite pathways of time by entering the Time-Lost Colosseum. Engage in duels, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, and free for all combat as you vie for dominance in an arena discarded and forgotten by reality, the perfect battleground for warriors with nothing to lose. Earn cosmetic rewards that flaunt your skill in battle and grow your Pile of Skulls!

Ladder System: We know how much players enjoy seeing their power in relation to others - the sensation of seeing how far you've grown when you see a new player or seeing how much higher you can go when you see a more experienced one. We will have multiple ways to track your progression in the Last Epoch player base and use these tools to foster a strong sense of community.

Cycles: Stagnation is a threat to the health of any game, and with our Cycles we will keep Last Epoch fresh to players new and old for their entire game experience. When a new Cycle starts, the Ladders that track your progress will reset, your current characters will be moved to a different non-Ladder mode, and most importantly, new quests, items, and even game systems will be added for players to enjoy. With this system of regular updates, Last Epoch will be a game that you can be engaged in for years.

Here are the patch notes!

Includes basic tutorials and new story details
Added the rest of Chapter 3
Added Chapter 4

The Monolith of Fate

A brand new endgame system for when you have completed the campaign but want to continue advancing your character.
Start your journey by choosing from two random combinations of zone layout and a modifier for the enemies.
Complete the zone’s objective, then receive a reward and choose again.
As you progress, the modifiers from each zone carry over for several future zones. This means that you can influence how the challenge ramps up by thinking of what’s best for your build and managing how many modifiers are active at once.
This is an early version of our vision for the Monolith. Over time, we will be adding more options and depth to the system.

Arena

The Arena is now accessed using keys which drop during the Monolith of Fate or Arena.
The Arena now scales much more rapidly than before.
Once you die in the Arena you cannot return until you have another key.
Deaths in the Arena do not count for the purposes of ending hardcore characters and removing the “Deathless” status from a character.

There is an important system that was not mentioned in the op: item customization. As you play the game you will find consumables that add a bit of the specified stat to an equippable armor piece, jewelry piece, or weapon. Said equippable gear has a meter that starts at 100% and as you use consumables to add stats to your gear, this meter drains. Every attempt to add stats to an item is a percent chance to succeed, and every successful upgrade drains a portion of the meter. Eventually you fail the success chance, or hit 0%, and the item locks forever.

Here is an early draft of their planned trading system. They emphasize that killing poo poo is intended to be the best way to acquire gear, better than buying it from players. Last Epoch is planned to be both offline like Grim Dawn, and secure online like Path of Exile

Buy this beta on steam so that you can refund it if you hate it

I played the KS demo a while back and it just didn't play that well, I thought. Combat felt stiff and janky but hey, it was very early. But looking at that trailer, it kind of doesn't looks like anything's changed there...The fights just looks stilted to me. I dunno, hope I'm wrong or they polish it during EA because I love games with way too many classes I'll never play.

RIP this game, whatever it is. With Marvel Heroes ICR waited for the console port to kill the game. With Anthem, he murdered it on release. Now apparently a beta isn't safe.

How soon, then, before we see him in the news, the blood of a game lead on his hands mere moments after the next great concept is born?

hey goons that are playing this, i need a full report on the mother loving FALCONER. thank you

Our first patch to Beta is live! To update on Standalone, close the game and run the Launcher. For Steam, you may have to close Steam (by right clicking on the taskbar and selecting “exit steam”) before the update is visible.

Arena

Approximately doubled arena scaling speed. The goal is that you will die, rather than just log out.
Skills

Bone Golem
Bone Growth node grants +7 health per point (up from 5) and requires 3 points in Amalgam of Mages (up from 2)
Amalgam of Rogues now grants melee attack speed and movement speed per point, but only 7% of each (from 8% melee attack speed) and has a max of 5 points (up from 4).
Twinned Golems’ health modifier is now 35% less (from 45% less) and it requires 4 points in Amalgam of Rogues.
Unnatural Speed now grants 4% increased movement speed per point (from from 10%) and also grants 4% increased movement speed to all nearby minions. Has a max of 4 points (down from 5).

Storm Totem
Now has 50% added damage effectiveness (down from 100%)
The flat damage node now grants +4 damage per point.
The flat crit node now grants +3% per point (down from 8%)

Enemies

Soul Spear now deals 17% less damage and the ai uses it at ranges of 4 to 9 metres, rather than 0 to 8 metres.

The following enemy types can no longer spawn with the "Summoning" monster mod
Immortal Eye
Oculus Mortis
Soul Cage
Soul Carrier
Soul Prison
Avialine Chimera
Visuals

Improved Meteor, Lightning Blast, and Glacier’s vortex visuals.

Added a casting effect for enemies using Soul Spear so it is easier to anticipate
Improved visuals for Flame Remnants, Frost Wyrms and Headless Acolytes
Improved the visuals of the enemy Soul Arrow ability

Bug Fixes

Potentially fixed crashing issues when loading zones by adding mipmaps to newer enemies. Mipmaps allow the game to use less memory (at the cost of quality) if memory is running low, so the fact that these were missing may have been causing crashes when memory ran out.
Fixed the game attempting to login via Steam from the Standalone client if the steam client was open in the background.
Fixed “A Study in Time” being impossible to complete.
Added failsafes to the Admiral Harton encounter to prevent the questline from stopping.
Likely fixed a bug with the Sane Cultist.
Fixed many effects with the “Elemental” tag not working, such as “increased elemental damage” and “chance to ignite with elemental skills”. Effects tagged Fire, Lightning and/or Cold were not affected.
Fixed multiple Storm Totem nodes not working
Fixed item tooltips continuing past the edge of the screen (which has been a long-time bug).
Fixed a bug with the Wolf Howl vfx.
Fixed some zone transitions automatically being used when you were close enough.
Fixed the world map opening to the wrong tab in End of Time and Echo of a World.
Likely fixed a bug where the character model could go invisible after transforming back to human form.
Fixed the trails behind Void enemies occasionally having a very large performance impact.
Fixed incorrect login errors being shown.
