very pog
Keep your best foot forward EHG!
I picked the game up a few days ago because a friend told me about it and its pretty rock solid. Wanted to play a lich first, but the bonegolem was so cool Im necromancer now :D
We need it on PS damnit
Great game!!! Keep it up EHG Team!!! I'm loving it.
Can't wait for Asmon to say "Maybe I'll play this now guys" 100 more times 😂
True and real 😅
LOL@Asmon!! Last Epoch is better than Diablo 4. Grim Dawn is better than Last Epoch!! Asmon is almost there. Grim Dawn currently the best ARPG on the market BAR NONE!
Dude will never play these games😅
@@sp0x970 Can't argue with you there, Grim Dawn is insanely good... I see inspiration in these other ARPG games from Grim Dawn, but Grim Dawn still does it better!
Just stop watching his reactions of games he hasn’t played, he’s just grifting you guys.
I've played this game, been in early access for a while, but damn is it pretty good. Has solid combat, constant updates, decent story and to top it off it's not Blizzard.
All i need is a worthy endgame. The this is even better than PoE for me personally, sinse PoE does TOO MUCH for my little brain lol
@@guddefulgaming Yeah, I feel you. I hope PoE 2 has some handholding for "us"
i have about 200 hours in it.. i love it. its exactly what an arpg needs and it has some proper itemization, class design, and farming. i am playing WoW classic +wotlk right now but im hopping back on when it full releases
so the microtransaction store while it's still in early access doesnt bother you, but blizz does? weird
@@jmwintenn Why are you so mad?
devs like this put in so much work to make a good game but get less than 0.1% of the support blizzard gets for putting out overpriced garbage
The idol system is cool because raw stats are 1x1, 2x1, 1x2, and 2x2 but the class build enabling ones are 3x1, 1x3, 4x1, and 1x4. So if you just need stats it’s pretty easy to slot them in but if you want to use the idols for more build specific stuff it’s a cute little puzzle.
And 2x2 5x1 1x5
Class build enabling ones are 4x4 as well. What are you on about
LE was one of the best ARPG's I've played in a long time. I think the biggest thing for me was the ease of class customizing similar to D4, but with a touch more complexity while not going as far as POE. The other big thing was crafting. POE is extremely complex and the loot filter is a bit much. Making my own loot filter and learning to craft without guides in this game was SUPER intuitive. LE has done a phenomenal job of doing everything POE does but removing the added layers of unnecessary complexity.
my favourite part about last epoch is that you can target farm uniques easily, it might take long time since tens of say helmets drop from the same monolith, but its still so good knowing that if u farm a monolith long enough youll get the item u want. then u go to another monolith and farm another item u want from there.
And crafting is way more deterministic than Path of Exile. Its a solid game as it is Grim Dawn too. I love an Arpg when you dont hate start new char, because act 1 on both games is very good.
@@davidperezgonzalez1839 crafting at the low end is deterministic, but at the high end you're still very gated by RNG, just not the same type of RNG as crafting in path of exile
@@diddykangablethe fact that it feels attainable despite the rng makes it better than path of exile
@@quanwashington eh the crafting in poe is blown way out of proportion by most people. you can self craft most things for most builds fairly easily, especially if you're just looking for basic life and resists. the difference is that a god tier item in last epoch is comparatively just a decent item in poe.
You can target farm crafting materials and even target farm uniques in path of exile. Most builds don't need more than that unless theyre going into the super endgame. And thats just talking about a solo self found character. Trading makes all of this even better.
The crafting system in last epoch isnt better. It's just different. It's rigid and easy, but at the end of the day, its just a number manipulator where you still have to rely on RNG to drop you a base thats actually worth crafting on that already has the stats you need.
Of course you can set your filter to only show items with those specific stats, but enjoy hours, if not days worth of farming without any items visibly dropping.
its a different system with build in RNG, exactly the same as poe. tell me you are bad at poe without telling me, holy fuck@@quanwashington
Last Epoch is an epic game! For me this game felt way more complete in early access compared to D4 on release. Absolutely recommended!
This is just straight up nonsense lmfao. Last Epoch in no way whatsoever feels complete.
@@Tanwolly Speaking of incomplete things... Reading Comprehension.
@@Tanwolly Delusional.
@@TanwollyI mean it definitely felt this way a while in the past to some degree but its pretty complete now as of few months/coupleseasons/w.e or so
Looks like a good game that I won't be playing. I'm a 65year old gamer and my hand eye coordination isn't good, so I can't play anything more than RTwP. Hope you enjoy.
7:16 This just blew my mind, in the saddest way.
You have no idea how long I've spent trying to find the exact thing I needed for my diablo 4 sorcerer, but it was all fucked and randomized.
You can target farm so easy in Last epoch, and then the super good items is ofcause "hiden" by higher corruption/bosses. Like it should be...
Finally the game is getting the attention it deserves. My fave arpg. the build diversity is amazing and its complex without being overwhelming. easy to learn FUN to master
Its funny as soon as I read 'diversity' I lost all interest even though alot of choices is a good thing, that word is so terribly ruined by politics
@@Arendvdvenk really?? The phrase “build diversity” has been around for like a decade tho. Long before it became part of the woke brigade language
@@Arendvdvenk its crazy people like you are real.
Lol imagine losing interest in the game over a word on the internet....It must be like REALLY SAD to be you...I'm sorry to say, I wish you change somehow and enjoy life...@@Arendvdvenk
@@doomzx8284 doing quite fine thank you :)
Put 110 hours into LE a couple of months ago and now I'm just waiting for 1.0 to prevent burnout. Love the gameplay and especially the QoL features compared to D4/PoE. I fully expect this to be my favorite arpg once more content is added
Ye I keep wanting to go back to it especially with the new runemaster updates but I just keep stopping myself cuz I wanna put alot of time into the Warlock whenever that releases and not burnout b4 it..tho I've considered if falconer releases on it's own first..maybe I'll bite the bullet for it.
Yeah the game is currently the best in genre but they really need to speed up with the end game development.
Anything is better than Diablo 4
i sadly agree. Blizzard is dead.
Diablo 4 makes Battlefield 2042 look like the best game on the market. I'm glad everyone finally stopped playing this garbage game and all the cope from launch is gone. Even the dads have given up. We won. All they care about is how many people are playing, this is the only way to win. STOP PLAYING.
Now it's time for Blizzard to add rifts, matchmaking, better loot, Andariel / Duriel / whatever bosses farmable instead of being some worthless campaign bosses that you never see again + of course a million other changes needed.
Till you've spend 100+ hours into last epoch and realize that builds are predefined by uniques and gearing is pretty irrelevant (because it is almost only additive damage) and 90% of your damage comes from your leveling / multiplicative damage from skills. Last Epoch has a great loot filter and a great crafting system, but on the long term the base is not that far away from d4. It is a lot of fake-depth like the skillsystem... most abilities are also predefined by uniques or synergies from other skills. There is almost zero variance too. Not saying that this is a bad thing, but last epoch is mostly fun in the "discovery phase" as D4 was before you know everything and realized how hollow stuff is. Last epoch is the same after 200+ hours.
i made the mistake of playing this while waiting on D4. I couldn't finish D4 before going back. The abilities have so many customization options and you can pretty much make anything a build and have it do well.
lol, right?
Lmaooo I did same I played d4 open beta, had a blast. Got the arpg crave, got L E sunk an ok chunk in but nothing crazy so I dont burn out on ARPGs. Played a decent amount of d4 season 0 had fun saw season 1 changes and was like ye I'm nah I'm good L E calling my name way more
I've been through the majority of Last Epoch's public dev cycle and it's truly impressive what they've created. This is going to be a "Forever" type of game, that I know I'm going to revisit like I do D2 now.
I've been around for the majority of it too.... around for kickstarter backers not getting their backer perks for over a year after entering EA, around for promised masteries being missing for almost the entire dev cycle, around for devs literally making fun of people's legitimate criticisms and questions by turning them into a meme and putting it on a cosmetic item, around for the massive trading bait-n-switch because they realised they're not qualified to create an emergent economy that doesn't immediately spiral, around for the cash-shop framework being implemented before _ANY_ of the dungeons or finished campaign, around for them literally banning a dude and removing his #1 arena spot because his build was too good (RIP shadow daggers), etc. etc.
Don't get me wrong, with over 700 hours and multiple max-level characters I can say that I enjoy the game, but it's FAR from perfect and the devs come off as kinda slimy tbh - if it wasn't for rabid ARPG fans and their inevitable pushback, the game would be in a much worse state.
Yep, me too. I am already 3000 hours into that "forever" and can't wait for the next 3000. Loving this game.
I am playing this Game, 300 hours in, and damn, this Game is GOOD!
Good Combat ( even tho it favors Range Speccs ), constant updates and GOOD updates, Loot filter, kinda diverse end game, AMAZING Build Variant ( i mean, you can have a fucking Squirrel Death Troop, thats one of the best builds in the Game )
Crafting is really good, Farming for BIS can take Ages ( and is even impossible )
A ARPG is a item based game , diablo 4 is probably a 3/10 when it comes to uniques and item afixes , legit worse gear than mobile games
I agree. POE favored ranged before Betrayal league melee rework. I mean keeping the monsters away from you and destroying them before they get to you is still best defense at any lvl, but melee was really really in a bad spot before rework. like attacks didn't have ability to hit more than one enemy bad. Accuracy was something that you had to have to hit the enemy, but wasn't inherently decent to get to kind of bad. It's good now so maybe LE just needs a lil time to polish that gem like POE did. I don't like melee that much but void knight melee seems like it'd be fun even in its current state.
I've got half your investment (150 hours+). I think it's the perfect game for when you crave a worthy diablo IV experience and not want a POE. The pacing is great, the early crafting for when you hit a wall is great, the story is good, the uniques fantastic, the chase items fantastic and the end game is great and then the end crafting is just awesome pair that with their plans on how they want to tackle trading, well that one is just perfect.
@@JonMidorias a non poe player could u explain to me how they reworked melee for the better? Just pure curiosity I've never played it
@@ThePolarpop Damage, cleave for old single target skills, aoe, support gem additions, and more defenses bc you're going to get smacked at melee ranged.
Why is Grim Dawn never in these aRPG conversations with the large mainstream streamers? TBH, the best and most feature complete aRPG with a massive patch 1.2 coming soon and a 3rd major expansion announcement coming 2024. Weird how they always ignore it over PoE, LE, Diablo etc. They even love to talk about failed / bad aRPGs like Wolcen over it, GD completely ignored.
Always found that weird. Grim Dawn is great, but it doesn't have the PR of these other games.
Much worse game to be honest.
Yeah i have like 30 tabs of gear for different builds. Im out of control. Epoch is good. The loot filter is best in the world. At this point my filter is only set to god rolls. All i need to do is play the game and i dont have to play loot manager 3000 simulator. Its probably the only game in 10 years where i made my own build from scratch instead of just following some build guide and it was really fun to do.
i've played multiple builds and never looked up a guide
this is probably the only modern arpg where you can just play the game, have a cool idea for a build and execute it without having to google every single detail
Never looked in any build guide either and all the classes I made was super fun to play
As a long-time Diablo fan, Last Epoch is light-years better than D4.
Reporting in as the "this game is amazing but nobody listens when I reccomend it for some reason" crowd
Absolutely hit the nail on the head with the complexity. It's just the perfect middle ground of complexity if PoE is too much. I love this games crafting system because it's not overly complex and everything you need to know is in the game already, you don't need to look up what affixes and suffixes can appear on a specific piece of gear, the game tells you. No need for looking stuff up on the wiki or an external website just to craft the gear you want. Oh yeah, and this game has an OFFLINE mode. One of the few offline playable games still around if you play single player.
Totally agree 100%!
There is no "offline mode". You have characters that are "offline" (as in not multiplayer) but you _must_ be connected to your EHG account to play the game. This is literally a thing people have been complaining about in EHG forums for months and is "promised" for release so why would you comment saying this...
@@graysaltine6035 I should have clarified it's supposed to be coming in release, the characters are stored locally on your pc but you can't play entirely offline, you do still need to connect. I wrote this because sometimes people can be wrong. Though it does technically have an offline mode it's just not done properly yet.
Been playing EA for a couple years, game still needs more development time, but the foundational greatness is there. Its moved past the point where you just say "the game has potential" , its now a foregone conclusion that this will be a banger.
Like you said, it needs more time but has a very good core. However, I don't think it'll be good at release as I believe I heard it's coming by the end of the year. I doubt they'll fix everything during that time. If I were me I'd delay it even further, I know it's more indie so it'll get a pass from gamers but I played it just yesterday and Rogue was the worst experience I've had in a game recently. Mostly because of the bugs but also random limitations on stuff and skills being very limiting. This is probably a little too long out of the way for development but considering how skill specializations work they really should allow you to test how some of the specializations change skills, because some need several levels to see how the change feels. I know it's likely less important later in the game
There's a little expected jank, and the NPCs are pretty wooden - but it has a ton more depth than D4 because of the individual ability skill-trees.
I easily sank like 200 hours into this game in a span of 1-2 weeks. Been researching a lot and plotting my build while I'm in the office. Really addicted
Did almost that much in my first 2 weeks also, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Same here. Also you can easily adapt builds by streamer to your own liking. More defense or offense without breaking the build.
And even if you do respec is quite cheap
An apparent indie studio has unlocked the power of infinite stash tabs! Someone go teach the thousands who worked on D4.
What I liked with this game was that actually finding good rolled items actually make your character stronger. You can actually feel it, unlike d4. I had a found a purple void axe with some great rolls and it's carried me pretty far till I can start farming apathy.
Just bought the game, its incredible how much better it feels than D4, there's so much agency and skill expression with the skill tree
Sorry what game are you playing? It does not feel better than d4. The animations are so bad, and the skill vfx are really really bad 95% of the time.
You are correct in saying that the player agency is better and the skill expression in the tree is better. That is unquestionable.
The stash tabs just need the same massive inventory in the database. You just add a new column/dimension to the item data that specifies what "tab" it appears on. Then each tab is just filtering your list. Technically it could just be coded as one single player inventory.
And then if other player inventories are loaded it is only loading a single instance of that pkayers inventory and not all the seperate sheets/lists of items.
Things that I love about Last Epoch:
- Skill customization is awesome, you really feel like it's YOUR decision in how the skill works
- The Talent trees are not exclusive, you still keep the first half of every skill tree
- Weaver's Will Uniques are super cool and really make the item feel personal (basically a Unique that level up with randomized affixes added on top of the existing stats)
- Every Mastery I've tried has been really fun to play, you can always stay active even as a summoner and create synergies between our attack skills and your summons
- The crafting system!
- End game is fund and the hunt for 4 Legendary Potential Uniques keeps it interesting in the late game
10:45 This is exactly what my experience has been. I played D3 (hell, I got all the playstation trophies for it and the Necromancer expansion to get the plat) and D4 and always wanted the builds to be a bit more complex or truly customizable; but when I've tried PoE I have always bounced off it when I got overwhelmed by all the systems and the MASSSIVE passive tree. LE has more options than Diablo but they are presented better (in my opinion) than those in PoE and are easier to begin to grasp without the need of a guide explaining how they interact (though if you want to fully min-max then you will either need a guide or to spend a good chunk of time theory crafting on your own). LE is a great middleground (though it's more like 70 if Diablo is 0 and PoE is 100 on a complexity scale).
Target farming is a thing of the past... so is this game. that's why its good.
Not playing a game at all is more fun than Diablo 4.
As someone who got bored with Diablo 4 and struggles to understand the hundreds of systems in POE, Last Epoch was a blast to play through. I think it’s also really nice to get into a game early before it becomes overwhelming like POE. Fanboys of that game will have a great time but it’s just so difficult for anyone to get into even if they have the time and energy to invest
I just tried the game, and I will say I am enjoying it. There are some issues but definitely a game I can see myself sticking to for a while. It's a fun game. Worth the $35. I'm already getting more out of it than the other $70 game.
Exactly, last epoch made me feel ripped off by the other $70 mess
Last Epoch is so damn fun. Can’t wait for end game. Currently playing a Necro minions build
I have about 750 hours into last epoch, it's the perfect balance of ARPG. End Game is engaging, the QoL that's already in the game is superb, character building has that old school ARPG (D2) feel, Crafting is amazing also. Diablo 4 cant even live off the dirt on the bottom of PoE/LE's shoes at this rate. Look forward to some LE Asmon gameplay.
Idols can be 1x1, 1x2, 2x1 - these are resistances, small damage boost or health/Regen.
Then there's the interesting one, that might not fit everybuild : 2x2, 1x3, 1x4, 4x1. They give specific class bonuses, some convert shuriken damage to lightning for instance, and there are also uniques ones. Uniques change MASSIVELY the way the game is played. I.E. making a skill MELEE instead of range, converting damage from an element to an other (Lightning meteor, cold damage over time instead of bleed, Adding more projectiles, making it a circle instead of an arc, etc) Some change the summon type (Wolf -> squirrel which is a viable and fun build) , some change only the skin of transformations. Monoliths allow you to target farm TYPES of uniques. Maybe you want Swords/Daggers (Same reward, you are guaranteed to get unique sword/dagger sometimes), staves + scepters, armor, and every piece of gear (except idols, but there are ways for you to target farm those differently). Every monotith has a bonus for killing it's "Story boss" which you can farm once in a while, but you can focus to accelerate the rate at which you can kill the boss of a zone. The bonus are either stats, or chance to drop types of item, and even xp/gold bonus.
My first impression of Last Epoch in the early alpha/beta stages was roughly the same as described in the video above. I came back recently, excited to see the new changes and classes, but in my first hour I had several time wasting bugs that turned me away. I'll prolly come back again because it really was an awesome game. I cant wait for the full release!
grim dawn is good too if you are searching for another ARPG game
I think for me it ties as the best ARPG ever along with PoE and Diablo 2
Grim Dawn is the best aRPG with 1.2 patch coming very soon and the new third Expansion Fangs of Asterkarn coming in 2024. Class system and itemization beats out every other game. Diablo 2 is probably the 2nd best
Last Epoch is amaaazing!!! Can't wait for its full release, stuck in 50+ hours into it. Theres good end game content right now but that initial leveling is realllly damn good. Probably the best skill system between all the ARPG's. Not too complex, but very deep regardless.
I think this game actually proved that itemization is the most important part of ARPG.
This game at launch, has less content than Diablo 4, and somehow I was able to play a character much longer.
You can really feel the power increase when you get an item upgrade and it is the only motivation for me to grind to a higher level.
Affixes like cooldown reductions and speed really changes how a build feels, and they are much more easily accessible compare to POE.
In Diablo 4, you can't really feel any power increase after collecting all the core aspects. The only power increase you could get after lv 75 was paragon points and they nerfed just that.
Cant wait for Asmon to play Last Epoch in a couple decades after the nuclear fallout from the war starts easing up and we can finally come out of our bunkers!
I played this game for 3 years + on off, this game is so good, and they made multiplayer in it here in the end of last year!
This game is way way better then D4 D3 and all the other RPGs, its easy to reset your chars, its easy to farm, there isnt really anything to complain about, the developer team listen to us players, take feed back very positive! And ACTUALLY listen to the community!
I cant wait for the full release here in some months! And no there isnt really any bugs, i havent experience a bug for maybe a years time, and when they update the game and there might come one, its usually fixed right away. Very good developing team... I honestly cant say this enough cause these developers listen to us all the time when there is something and is very active and play them self etc.
The game director Judd, hes usually seen ingame talking with us couple of times a day, i dont get how he can handle it but have deeply respect for that team.
I've been waiting for 1.0, just so i don't burn out on the game. But this is one I'm super excited for, once 1.0 and seasons start. Also, Necro is actually good! Unlike D3 and D4. ❤️
Last Epoch’s one of the few games that got me glued to my desk for 7 hours straight. It’s really really fun! Quality of life is amazing, and scaling throughout the game gets more and more addicting. Def recommend it
Last Epoch is a much better D2 sequel than D3
I've played about 90 hours and will play a bit more when Warlock's are added. I could have easily played a lot more, but want to save it for launch.
Last Epoch really highlights how under cooked D4 was at launch and still is.
I loved playing it tbh. I'm excited to go ham once it official launches.
played this game for a while before D4 came out, and it happened to save me the money because I never felt the urge to buy D4. Just happened to be a great decision. Last Epoch will be my go-to whenever I need to scratch the ARPG itch.
Wish I would have played LE before D4, would have saved myself 100 bucks.
Love the game! Only waiting for a more enjoyable end-game personally, because I get to monoliths and farm but it doesn't hook me.
Ive had this game on my steam wishlist since it was released a couple years ago, havent gotten around to buying it sadly but ive heard nothing but good things about it , happy its getting some recognition
Great game with huge potential. Everyone who quit diablo 4 get this game you won't regret it
The answer is yes. Way better.
Have two 95s or something in LE. Its an amazing game. Story and concept were super cool even though its not finished. Combat is fun, and death is fun because you know why you died every time and can fix the issue. Crafting is beyond fun, and the end game system of monoliths and target farming make LE an amazing game. Keep it up Last Epoch team
15:28 exactly what I felt with Last Epoch. I’m at Disneyland and I’m thinking of what time we’ll get home so I can play Last Epoch
This game is awesome, few months back i bought and played quite a good deal of it, bring each available character class to end game at least once. Just got back to try out runemaster and i love it. One big big problem i faced is with the immense lag playing online mode, disconnecting every few minutes. I have no choice but to make an offline character. Nevertheless its still an awesome experience again, 10/10 recommended
6:10 "But" had me dying
This could be the game that gets players that want more out of their rpgs but less at the same time (yes D4 and PoE respectively)
For me, Last Epoch is the perfect middle ground between Diablo and PoE. Diablo is baby's first ARPG, and PoE is like having a second job. Grinding monoliths does get a little boring though, so hopefully they add some more interesting stuff to the end game.
It has depth but isn't convoluted like PoE, it's cleanly designed to be approachable
Asmon playing Last Epoch will be amazing for developers
Been playing since early spring '23, and the loot filter and generous stash tab allotment alone should make the D4 team feel embarrassment on an immeasurable scale.
Everything I have heard and seen from The Last Epoch has been fuckin amazing!!! Before D4s launch I was able to see gameplay streams from other streamers and it looked amazing then so now I'm sure it's been updated further and is even better.
Asmon please fuckin play this when you're able to!! 😤🙌
Guys I bought the game at lunch, played main story and some more for 2 weeks and sold it for 70% of the price. Great times.
Btw I will buy it again when its cheep just beacuse art on the box looks fine on the shelf
also in case anyone missed it, grim dawn is getting another dlc.
Honestly, how much memory do we think a stash tab actually has? Each item would be like 200 bytes tops. As long as you code it well, a million items should be a few megabytes and in the modern world that's a second to download.
I feel like Last Epoch did what everybody wanted D4 to do.
i.e. Take all the best ARPG innovations since D2 and put them together with a few of your own to make a better game.
They've done an excellent job of adding complexity without adding daunting barriers to entry like POE.
Glad he is taking more looks at LE it's so damn good
Puts D4 to shame, been playing it for a while. D4 was shockingly bad considering budget and dev size.
realistically, in programming its not that big of a leap to make 10 tabs with 100 items per tab per player vs infinite tabs with 100 items per tab.
what creates more work is calculating damage per player. There are so many calculations happening that need to be synced and etc etc etc. vs static items that are just stored and accessed.
I really enjoyed Last Epoch. Only thing I don't like is how grindy and confusing it becomes when you're looking for one specific piece of gear with the exact percentages you need for a build. Gets really tedious. (And yes, I'm aware of the loot filter and use it effectively. It's just the shitload of randomness on the drops I don't like).
just picked this up for Christmas...
I started a Primalist and progressed to Beastmaster, then did the first few quests with an Acolyte... maybe 4 hours of gameplay, and I might just have a new favorite ARPG. I want to get to 200 hours before I make that call, but so far so good.
Last Epoch is great. It's really easy to get into and start crafting, you can respecc builds with easy and with minimum time waste. Crafting Items with legendary potential is always great gamba.
Last Epoch - the game, where even the community manager Sarno is the OG Path of Exile member (so called unofficial CM before Bex). He was the guy managing and instructing people on how to migrate from POE launcher to Steam (year 2013 or so). And the team listens, maybe more than POE nowadays.
after D4 I went and tried PoE, its easier to actually understand what increases what and how the builds go in PoE than D4. So much better. PoE's boss fights are better designed too. Best thing about D4 is getting the word out for PoE and Last Epoch.
My old ryzen 1700 was struggling in LE really hard then i tested it ~year ago. Is CPU optimisation improved now? I can run almost any content in PoE with solid 75fps cap, and LE was constantly dropping to low 40s in just random moments.
GPU is probably not the issue, i have 3070 and SSD.
Tbf Last Epoch 2 years ago was terrible. Gameplay and progession was ok but there werent much content, mediocre skill effects and has terrible sound effects that just makes you wanna stop and wait a few more patches.
Comparing items on the floor to equipped items needs to be a basic feature in every ARPG.
was broke and had no money to play D3, my friend gave me this game, and i had a blast grinding it, like BLAST. I was hype when they release co-op.
Skills system is amazing, each slot of specialized skill has its own lvl, which give u points to upgrade the skill tree of that skill, THEN u can re-spec it to other skills, u lose like 3-4 lvl, BUT the game give u bonus xp for those skill slot to get back up to the highest skill lvl that slot reached. BASICALLY, give u easier experience of trying out different builds without grind another char of the same class.
And more, 100% recommend this game!!!!!
35$ armor sets on a paid game, I didn't give blizzard the pass for it, neither I will for Last Epoch. Miss me with that shit.
If someday they decide to update it to a 2023 game and remove gender-locked classes, maybe I'll decide to get the cashshop-less version.
Last Epoch has the best monster type, the gulamander. and that's really all that matters
It always bothers me when people complain about the long beta. The game development was not just the game, but also the studio. The studio started with 3 or 4 people and no actual team, so EHG developed the game while building their entire gaming studio. That in itself is impressive. Most importantly, they used their community as testers AND they actually took the input and made changes. I hope they really invested in servers because launch will be crazy.
LE is amazing but it's still stale, I think. The leveling is way too much walking through oversized zones and the endgame is one thing repeated over and over again. Having no automation for mana and lowkey requiring 3 active skills was annoying. Boss fights are walking left to right waiting for mana to regen.
Don't want to do join a pointless debate but those that say PoE has worse crafting might just not be good at it...
Not sure if youll see this but i highly recomend Grim Dawn! Its my first full ARPG me and my friend played through it full together though i recomend playing it solo since was fully build around co-op
Holysmokes. I am sold when Rax was talking about the infinite stash and the search function and I already have LE. Just waiting for 1.0 full release to jump in.
last epoch is such a great game!
Also the leveling process isn't boring imo
The only ARPG I played where I felt powerful and comfortable building characters on a whim.
Blizzard will think they have to deliver a comparable experience?, they will first ask, "Will we lose money on this?", "Can we instead just reskin mobs again for another event and maybe fix some bugs and then charge more money?". Yeah...., i have no more expectations from them.
One thing you have to understand about Eleventh Hour Games and Blizzard is that EHG is a big budget company, and Blizzard is just a small indie company barely getting by. You have to give Blizzard a break.
is a good game for 2-3 days than nothing to do, no trade no crazy drops no min max only random drops (pretty much like d4)
My only reason for not playing this is that it hasn't left early access yet. Been waiting for a long time, but I want to judge it based on what they consider a finished version.
i lowkey hate crafting systems. I know some players love it, but, I just wish the items in game were good and crafting went by the wayside
Only gotten halfway through the story (i think) and having a blast with Primalist Shaman, one thing i find useful is the death screen which just tells what kind of damage killed you. Really good to know that you f.ed up here is what killed you and then you can build or consider what your items are lacking. This is besides the amazing skill system to tailor your skills to your play style.
Lack of deathlog in D4 pissed me off, glad there are devs who actually play the damn game to experience the same things we all gamers do (Looking at you D4 employees mashing that basic skills and dying in normal dungeons lul)
Absolutely amazing game. Cannot stress how far it has come in the years it's been in Early Access. Huge props to the dev team. Hope the ease up on the prices they're popping up on the cosmetics though. They're rough as guts though.
I'm not an in-depth game genius but OMG the skill tree for each skill is insane.
Last Epoch is amazing and easily addictive!
I used to play it all the time between PoE seasons.
200h on this. It’s a damn good ARPG. Diablo4 120h and I don’t play anymore. Last Epoch has very big potential.
and the you have Dungeons with unique mechanics and unique rewards at the end for all 3. Great game!
RAXX:" Infinite stash tabs" Asmon: ...< mind blown>...
Question for anyone who has played it already - I see talk of a cash shop in game, is it only cosmetics?
i filled over 600 taps with single slot items in offline mode to test, no performance issue at all.
Last Epoch is actually amazing. Crazy how even Blizzard cant compete.
