1:05 LIAR! Shill!! They have 90+ employees. They sold out to tencent. The lead dev creator has more money than most people will ever see on his own.
They are not a small indie company. It should be illegal to call devs that in 2024 unless it's like 2 dudes in a basement

"all this for less than D4 mount" is just brutal xD
Cosmetics in LE are almost as expensive as the ones from diablo so there are better ways to go for LE>D4 or vice versa.
@@aspikbardamu6040I was going to say yeah their MTX are not praise worthy lol
@@aspikbardamu6040 Not even close. There are MTX but the system is not predatory.
Not as expensive and no "buy 950 coins for a 600 item" bullshit.
exactly
Supporters pack, its the same in PoE. Although 90% of it are ass.@@aspikbardamu6040
As an addition, your five slotted abilities don't have to be the ones you specialize into.
As an example, I have a traversal skill that I just use to move to enemies. No need to specialize into it. And I have a skill tree that can trigger another skill that I don't use actively, but is still affected by that triggered ability's tree.
It's pretty great how customizable everything is...
Wow I didn’t even know this was a possibility, thanks for the info!
Yeah you don't have have them in your bar. And traversal skills don't have to be specialized to be on your bar.
The falconer has fire traps that can be enhanced so they only arm when you melee enemies. So you don't need fire trap on your bar, you just have to use a melee skill to trigger the fire trap.
That’s what I do with Smite now that my Hammers have a chance to cast it. I’m only 2 weeks in and already like it more than Diablo 4. This is the D2 successor I’ve always wanted.
In some cases tho you will need to slot skills you have specialized even if you never touch them due to other mechanics sadge
An example being the Warlock's Chaos Bolts skill which can trigger Rip Blood, Harvest and Bone Curse all while Cthonic Fissure can trigger Chaos Bolts. Much synergy.
Pretty sure Diablo 4 was the Diablo killer lol
And Blizzard executives were the ultimate killer of their franchises in general, maybe even WoW. I dislike how people point all the blame on Kotick when Blizz execs were often just as abysmal, albeit with a smaller salary.
Damn must be why it has an insane amount of people playing it... Hate takes like this when D4 is just a very good casual game which is the point.
Killed their franchises so hard they are doing better than ever lol..@@HumanPerson_final
@@TheEregos I mean it has like a 2.3 player raiting. But IGN says 9/10 so it must be good.
@@TheEregosbased on what? Cause the numbers don't show that
This game is my favorite ARPG so far. It's amazing how much depth they get out of very simple systems. Tons of fun builds to try.
It's definitely very fun. I'm also really happy that they have been as transparent as they have been. Very refreshing to see.
One thing about the loot filter that I absolutely loved is the Level Dependency. Because you might say: "But I want Blue or Yellow items while I'm leveling up... I don't want a high end filter for endgame yet" -> Well, a good filter will have "Show crappy stuff if character level is 0-20", "Show less crappy from 21-50" and so on. Brilliant idea. An endgame filter could have 5 more conditions that also take you through the early game if the creator was thoughtful and included that. If not, it's not hard to modify. Anything added by you at the top takes priority
Poe filters have that, I have a feeling last epoch did good research on what is actually needed. Maybe they came up on this on their own with testers, and if they did thats great. Good QA and testing crew is important, diablo 4 definitely didnt have that.
@@arturvegis2571 I also hate the fallacy of "If we do our jobs right, you won't need a filter" which is inherently wrong if you think about it, because unless you get an AI bot to scan your loot and read your mind you're going to be seeing the same drops that you saw at lvl 20 and you liked, because you were leveling. But at endgame let's say I only need a few item upgrades and obviously higher level/stats than you already have, but You'll still be seeing those items that you saw at level 20. That's why I think that the statement is wrong.
Last Epoch is made with passion for real ARPG players.
And by real ARPG players
Give me a break.
yeah they know what arpg fans like and a lot of things that just make sense are implemented in the game... you just have to go, "why dont more arpg games do things the same way" over and over again
@@TheMusicolophilestill salty about the servers I see? Or possibly a helltide farm enjoyer? Or just brain dead? Which of the above are you
how are u so hyped the game is nothing like diablo 2, give us a break
There’s a node in the bottom right of the explosive trap tree that turns your throwable traps into a rain of explosive arrows. It kicks the skill up another level.
Last epoch is a wonderful game. I play offline mostly. Such an amazing concept to have a full game to play offline
Was normal back then:D
Being able to pause in offline mode has spoiled me. I get interrupted so often by family/things, and now it's stress free to walk away and come back
That is not an amazing concept or a feature, it should be standard with any game. The always online stuff is actually completely retarded and unnecessary, don't get the whole thing backwards :)
I had a green set belt drop earlier on my 15 Acolyte. I had a bigger dopamine hit from that than in my entire D4 experience. It's almost what I expected a somewhat successor to D2 to be.
My problem with the d4 loot is that every item is lame. They are like a +1 magic sword in dnd only once you level up once that +1 sword looses it's magic. We're in LE when you get a green it's like a sword in dnd that shoots sword beams, even 10 levels later you are going to use this cool item.
You clowns can't sleep without mentioning D4. LOL
LOL most loot in this game is shit and to make it even worse it's not even worth vendoring.
@@Ashalza They're reworking the itemization in next season, but I'm actually sure it'll still be shit.
Man cut the cap. I'm level 40 in LE and gotten many uniques and multiple set pieces and nothing is dropping that is good. It's like +1 INT or +15 health. Where are the cool game changing legendaries? Maybe late game but still that makes what u said make no sense lmao
The faction system in this game is like no other. I was looking into it before it released and didn't think it would be a hard choice or offer much in terms of gameplay. But it really does, and by a large margin changes your endgame progression
yes, and they are also planning on adding more factions, with the possibility of having more than 1 at a time, So it's going to be like "choose your endgame" PoE time of situation.
This type of game introduction is what i was looking for: not too deep, but also not too shallow. Thank you very much, Force.
The last time I played Last Epoch it still had graphic issues and the animations and the combat felt clunky.
The improvement they made with 1.0 is insane. I didn't expect this to look and feel this good.
Yeah whatever they did they worked some magic cause now I can play at damn near max graphics with no fps drops/stuttering with a mid end pc
and LOADING SCREEENS!
@@arjunratnadev The core gameplay is still fun. Online mode is just a feature to most of us.
The graphics quality seems a bit inconsistent, there are some stuff in game with lower texture quality, models and animation. In the aqueduct zone the water falling looks pretty crap. Some of the starter zones I felt like the graphics wasn't quite as good either.
Devs: You can play only online
Players: WE DON'T WANT ONLINE PLAY ONLY!!!!!!
Devs: Ok here's online, but if not you can play offline
Players: WE KNOW WE CAN PLAY OFFLINE BUT WE WANT TO PLAY ONLINE!!!!!!
It just broke PoEs all time play record on steam.
Except nobody really played it they just sort of watched the screen and waited for it to load but yeah definitely
PoE has its own client that hosts about half its players, so LE is about halfway there.
@@andrewli8900 poe peaked at 320k, Last Epoch with disfunctional servers peaked 240k, it will only get bigger
@@MinkusCluntchoffline players are also considered players lol
Lmaooo, game is trash compared to PoE, has ppl playing in steam charts but nobody is playing really, they are all in queue. Also you are wrong, as path of exile is also in epic games and has his own launcher from main site. First study, then speak, ty.
You also have unlimited stash tabs, bought with ingame gold that you will be swimming in anyway.
Crafting with legendary potential items is another BIG one. You essentially upgrade unique items, by adding stats from other items onto it, making it legendary. Can make some really insane items doing this.
I keep seeing the "unlimited" stash posts, no its not unlimited, in saying that if you got 100 tabs of gear you got a problem.
@@somerandom7215 The universe is not unlimited too, NOTHING that exist is unlimited. But some things, like the universe, the world of Minecraft, the love for my cat and here the quantity of stash tab are so big, that we called it infinite and unlimited because we don't gonna reach the end of it...
I heard somewhere it's limited to 200 tabs. It'll be hard to get there though, cause each additional one costs more gold than the last. For my first char I made in beta, my next new stash tab costs 340K gold. I probably have around 50 tabs with that character.
This is a really great feature. Artificially limiting back space is a bit nonsensical anyways. Isn't part of the fun of a game about getting loot, having many items saved up to collect sets and other specialized things? With old D2 people circumvented this issue by creating many characters, there is no reason to limit it too much.
Small correction, while you can only equip 5 skills for combat, you do not only have to enhance them. Primalist for example has skills that can cast effects for other skills same as some of the others.
So instead of equiping all 5 skills I'm enhancing I'm equipping 3-4 of the enhanced ones but since 1 skill can cast another I can equip filler skills for my build to fix the weakness. Such as for my primalist build it doesn't have mobility but since I use a skill to cast another I can then take leap for mobility.
All classes do as well. Not trying to correct you, just adding that bit for anyone who didn't know. All classes have skills that have interactions with other skills and it's great
The build possibilities feel nearly limitless. It keeps me coming back for more
It's pretty limited ... It has depth but like it's simple enough that you can accidently fall into something cool
The build possibilities in Last Epoch are ok. If you really wanna experience that "almost limitless" feel, PoE is in a league all its own.
@@deceiver444 True but it's completely ruined by being able to fuck up your build easily by not following a guide... Last Epoch's systems are more forgiving which is worth a lot more to me personally
@@CustardCream33 PoE definitely takes a lot of practice and trial/error before you start feeling more at ease building your own characters all by yourself.
@@deceiver444 yeah definitely man
Loving your Videos, Man. I really enjoy your Point of View and it really helps me deciding which Games i want to play, because you give such a great insight of that specific Game. I appreciate your Work. :)
Played it 2 years ago, came back now: This game has made leaps from where it was and definitely worth a try. It's amazing, having a tun of fun!!
after playing this game, i cannot see myself going back to diablo 4.
See you in season 4.
After playing this game I can't see myself playing anything other then Diablo 4. They said it was easy but it isn't. it has just as much unneeded complexity as PoE!!! D4 can only get better, and it will thanks to a Triple-A budget and a simply simple, easy to pick up and understand system. Plus Season 4 will fix most of the loot issues.
@@Zederokgood luck grinding a game that has microtransactions lol (and that you pay what? 70$ for?) fuck u blizzered...
A lot of us feel the same way
Yay another borrowed power season with 1 new dungeon and 1 outdoor activity where you kill/collect/summon mobs.. woohooo i can't wait to spend a hour looking at my loot@@KiteVtuberDefender
Diablo killed itself dawg
Sad but true
Blizzard management killed D4.
Trying to milk that playerbase for every damn penny. After the first DLC most players will have dropped at least 140$ on the game LOL.
@@SuperCatacata a game which feels like it's still in beta for many aspects 8 months after release... Blizzard has lost the plot
A $65 mount is a slap with a game so aggressively mid …
@deceiver9063 its better for everyone if their games flop, rather than being just 'good enough' allowing them to further propagate their filth.
Be patient with the server issues, the game is so worth it!!!!!
They've almost completely vanished in the last day or so!
There are game reviews, then there's Force Gaming.
Astounding work you've been doing for way more than a decade now.
I follow you since pre Diablo III launch and been since. Thank you for the review of Last Epoch!
I don`t like it. It just feels clunky. Animations are not good, combat is weightless and feels floaty. Skills are boring to use, no wow moment with flashy and cool skills. Just bad IMO.
Damn. 233k concurrent players right now. Been playing for a year and happy to see a successful launch
This game wants to have fun and it does that right! 7/10
This is what I can say after completing the game two times. If you are a Diablo player, Oh boy do I got a game for you. If you are an POE player, you can have some fun, but you won't get your fix. Overall, Last Epoch is a good game. It does its basic game loop (kill-loot-sell/equip/craft) REALLY well. Skills feel good, enemies and bosses are fun. But for me the skill tree and endgame are not really there yet, but leagues ahead of what D3 or D4 ever did. It wants you to have fun and doesn't bog you down with boring mechanics/quests/activities that are only there to keep you in the game. Wonderful to play games like this, you can install and have some good fun!
My rotation is Helldivers 2 and LE and im currently enjoying playing video games again. No lifing both. Fun gameplay with friends on helldivers chilling and late at night LE time
I'm absolutely loving LE. The build diversity is fantastic
Ayyyye, congrats on 1 mil subs!
200 hours before official release. Brilliant ARPG. The connecting issues are going away and i can't wait to dive in again. Im playin a glacier wizard!
Last Epoch and a few other titles keep my hopes up for the future of the industry
It's a great game. Once the online issues are ironed out I think people are really going to love it. Until then I'm having fun in offline.
Trying out a necromancer. And my gosh to me it feels like the best necro minion build of any other game I have played. It feels like in virtually every game with minions or pets there is a fair amount of jank or hiccups using them. LE minions are fantastic. Fluid and tons of variety of how you want to use them. If anyone likes pet builds or undead flavor I give recommendation to definitely try necro mastery in this game.
Don't know it you already knew it, but if you press A you can send your minions after a specific target or area
Been playing offline since the start and what surprised me was that there's actually global chat!
When you said theres an Offline Mode, im already sold on this game. Gonna buy it right now.
Wish more games can do this as I am not relied on the games success to keep my account progress forever.
Yep and it's even better because the offline mode gets all the league content too (if it's not directly tied to multiplayer which it probably never will)
It is indeed a great game and I also love that there's an offline mode, but with that said, BE AWARE, Offline characters can never go to online and vice versa, the stash is separate as well, and although yes, cycle content is also available in offline, the online portions like merchant's guild aren't, obviously because you're offline.
@@dylanstanfill2897 Thats good to know thank you!
Very sad that you have to mention something that should be normal.
@@Lenariet Facts
I play in OCE, the loading screen problem between areas is gone, its 1 to 2 seconds now for me. Love the game (976 hours before 1.0), and EHG. I'll support this game for a long time.
Just from the little I saw about the skills in this game, there is SO much you can do to make your character exactly what you want it to be, it's kinda nuts. And if what I remember is right, you also get to respec for free., so you're free to experiment as much as you like.
Not entirely “free” but all it costs is either a little bit of in game gold to change passives or a little of your time to level up the skill again if you decide to change specialization.
@@aechlloyd9593 Important to note that skills you level up again get a massive XP boost as well.
Only thing you can't respec is your class specialization choice. So there's no switching from Druid to Beastmaster, although you can go halfway up the passive trees for the two class specializations you don't select
It feels like I have been waiting decades for PoE 2.... and D4 did nothing to quell that raging desire. But this game takes the mantle for ARPGs in 2024. They have done tons of 'little' things really well and I'll probably be on this until whenever Poe 2 does launch.
oh yea! im ready!
If you have time for it, I would highly suggest to keep playing and experience the "endgame" loop, since all those parts synergize so so well.
THE GAME IS AMAZING!!!
Happy you enjoyed the game man. It really is a great passion build experience.
Great Review! Very much appreciate it! Thanks!
Its a solid game for sure. My fav is how you can link skills through the skill talents. For example, you can make Shift cast shuriken, which still utilizes teh shuriken talents...even though you dont even need to put it on your bar and just use it passively. Its a fantastic system.
Dark backdrops during game play, then stark white cuts to your white hoodie and backdrop. Getting flashbanged over here Force!
Watching videos like this I just feel amazed at all the innovation and QoL that D4 lacks. Like... no loot filter? I hate running dungeons because I know I'm going to have to slog through a bunch of garbage in my inventory at the end of 1 or 2. Very excited to give this game a try, I'll buy it just to support something with good consumer practices like an offline mode. Thank you so much for the video!
Glad you finally found the game !!!!!
Man I am so glad you mentioned the "crunch" of the combat. I had a hard time putting my finger on what the feeling was. It was noticeable enough for me to the point where I decided I couldn't enjoy the game. Absolutely respect what they've built though and I'm happy people love it (those that can play of course)
Love this game. It feels great. The servers will stabilize and can't wait to see where it goes from there.
In this game, sentinel can throw hammer in line, spiral form and orbital form, and can hit same enemy more than once.
Last Epoch vet here - that was a well put together first impression video, I think it presents the game fair and gives a good overview of the systems included.
Little annotation on the skills (skilltrees) : not only does each skill come with it's own skilltree, but many of the skills do synergize with other skills - be it that you can trigger a skill via using another skill, or (again) change the effects of another skill - the list goes on. Good thing is: You can respecc to your hearts content, so feel free to experiment with all your skills.
Word of warning: there is one major decision you can't redo after you made it, that is the specialization of your class (the mastery). So keep that in mind when you reach the point where you have to make that decision.
Out so many people to watch, I enjoy your content the best. 🍻
LE LETS GO! BEEN PLAYING IT FOR 2 YEARS LOVE HER. IMO not a D4 killer just a new fun game.
Playing a summoner necro build right now and having a ton of fun! For an indie game it looks really good. And offline mode is perfect for us casual, no friend gamer dads.
As gamer dad myself I also pick solo find only items challenge too.
summoner necro gang, lets go!! I managed to summon 34 minions at a time with a legendary scepter that allowed me to have +10 wraiths and also +1 specter from my boots AND on top of that volatile skeletons.. It's been a blast on an offline mode, such a great game!
my favorite thing about LP is how abilities synergies with each other and you can make multiple abilities useful as oppse to diablo and even PoE where those tend to just super buff one ability with a ton of supporting abilities.
Loving this game so far. The story is really cool and the timeline mechanic thing is really interesting. I'm having so much fun playing Runemaster and trying to learn my invocations lol, it's really addicting!
I finished the whole campaign online on day two, very little issues. I guess some servers were having more issues than others. Plan on putting another 1k hours into it.
I have only played a few days so far, how do you get a map for the area you are in.... whenever I hit the "M" key
I just get the entire world map, when I'm in town I want a map of the entire town... or when I'm in the jungle I want a
map of the jungle area I'm in, how do I get that?
Tab
@@theguardian1993 Thank you for the help.
If you got out ahead of the pack you were fine. The issues are in the server hand off from one to another. So if you got out ahead and were progressing you kept ahead of the overloading of the server transfers. I hit the zerg ball in the first act but got out ahead of it pretty fast and had a great time.
@@fzoulcmbyl2134- TAB gets pops up an overlay map, and you can change the zoom for that overlay map in the settings.
I have been playing the game since it showed up on steam, about 600 hours , i love the game and i am happy that i got to play it long enough to watch it just get better and better over the years.
Honestly I think some of the visuals are great. There is this one bit on a stormy ship with these great lighting effects
I agree the sound and skill visuals are great people keep highlighting how its a small studio and all that when but I'm playing my warlock the animations are excellent and good audio feedback
You can also specilize in skills that are not in your skill bar. On my rogue I use decoy in my bar, but instead of that I specced in shuriken which is used by me using shift
it's better then D4 and it's only $35 fucking dollars and was made by a small team of passionate devs who found the perfect balance between having a complex deep system of crafting and skills and being really easy to understand and easing players into understanding how all the skills synergies with one another and you have have god tier builds built around a few core items that change how your character plays and feels...10/10 been playing non stop since release and im honestly buying a lot of the cosmetics and feeling good about it because I know it directly support this awesome team that totally deserves all this praise and success it's getting right now!!
The fact that you feel the need to compare it with Diablo 4 instantly tells me everything I need to know. You're prolly not even owning the game, lmao, just another shill.
@@Vertigo2688 well you haven't played last epoch then. It simply is a better experience than d4. Though I'll admit that bar is very low.
@@scottrussell360 I can bet I have more hours in it than you. Bet.
@@Vertigo2688 wouldn't surprise me i only have about ~150 hours
everyone im playing with agrees its better than d4@@Vertigo2688
This game is so damn good. Feels like a true successor to Diablo 2
If they can get the animations and sounds to pack the same punch D4 provides, it'll be perfect. Everything else is way better for sure, but damn. Hopefully with the increased sales they can get these parts more polished.
Can't lie: this week with launch of Last Epoch, Pacific Drive, and Sons of the Forest 1.0, this has been the best gaming week for me in over a decade. Color me spoiled.
In my opinion, THE VERY BEST ARPG right now, yes even more than PoE. That's because of all its QoL features and its SUPER beginner friendly. You have a built-in loot filter that does wonders, built-in game guide! Built-in trading system through Merchant's Guild. And if you wanna try a new build, just respec ALL you want. And this game has SO MUCH build diversity
Yeah, it feels a bit like what fighters are finally doing, but for ARPGs
i'm having a blast with the game as well.
Played it in beta before but when 1.0 came the graphics and all the other stuff turned it into a completely different game and i love it!
the online issues suck but as u said offline mode more then makes up for that.
Been following this for years but was waiting for 1.0 to jump in. It has been worth the wait.
My friend told me that in Last Epoch there is a teleporting bear called the Jahith Bear, which is a nod to Diablo II's famous runeword Enigma, made with the runes Jah, Ith, and Ber. So even though it's fun to be sour on D4, this team pays homage to the OG sources :}
I LOVE that game. I've been playing it since early beta and I've loved every minute of it. And the final release is just stunning.
Oh, also: playing the wizard masterclass Runemaster is just...insane--because depending on what combinations of elemental runes (fire, ice, electricity) you generate using basic skills, you can cast a _shit tonne_ of other skills. Like, there are SO MANY combinations it's damnear dizzying.
Absolutely agree that production almost doesn't matter If features and implementation is good.
im glad you reference the fact that there is an offline mode which is so important and yet absent in many releases now which shows the weakness when servers are not present. Not being able to access the product you paid for just downright sucks. Offline is the classic old fashion thing to always lean on to at least have fun and not rely on servers being up somewhere or shutting down one day.
It's only $20 here in SEA. I actually got the game as soon as it hit early access years ago for like $10 because it was on sale. Devs deserve the success they are having.
Great vid. Last Epoch is imo an amazing game. It's my fav in the arpg genre.
Great review❤
deserves the praise and I concur, has been a pleasant surprise.
I’m loving it so far. Been playing offline a ton since it dropped. I haven’t thought about a game so much while not playing it since I first tried FF14. If you are a fan of ARPGs get it, I’d pay twice as much as I did.
Offline Mode was a HUGE W for them on this release, been supporting the game since like a few months after its EA release a few years back, and safe to say its payed off :)
Happy to see where they take the game forward.
This is the first ARPG that’s got me hooked… I’ve tried Grim Dawn, Diablo 3,4 , POE. I’m not sure what it is but it clicks for me. Also out of those listed above Grim Dawn is my favorite.
love the game so far just got it 2 days ago, I am a solo player so offline is so nice to use no issues with game functionality, this is a winner in my opinion.
I’m playing a withering cthonic fissure warlock and can honestly say I’ve never had so much fun in an ARPG.
I still can't understand how PC Gamer gave it a 60. I've played it on and off for years and It's my second Grim Dawn. Your early assessment is exactly how I see the game and I am glad that a highly regarded content creator like you can show the game for what is.
Was wanderi g why didn't you make a review of this game. But guess it was a good point, since in the beta graphics and other features weren't as nice as ATM. So happy youre enjoying it!
The developers are passionate ARPG players. They didn’t make the game with the thought of money. They put their heart first and it shows. All of them are playing the game they made, because that’s how it started.
Well designed game. Smart fun, addictive gameplay. Bright future ahead imo.
Force does a good job making the game sound fun. I would totally play it I'm just not a PC guy. Nice review though Force. :D
Been playing this game for while since it was in early beta, changed so much. I love ARPG games and this is one of the best games in the genre atm. Yes it has some connection issues for some people, but I been playing US time at night when i'm off work and have not had any connection issues. If you like Diablo style games, this game is a must play.
The story point is so true. I beat the final boss of the campaign and afterwards I had to look up online if that was the final boss that I had fought...lol. All through the campaign I had no idea what was happening, I was just blasting my way through it. I will say, added cinematics in 1.0 helped a little bit. Not much though
Started a build as a melee druid, and 15 hours later im building a trex build, with all size buffs applied, fun to look at and build
Just hit 55 so I haven’t tried the end game. I play D4 on Xbox so I can chill on the couch. Thought I would try it’s controller support and maybe build a pc for the living room, if I can convince the wife of a PC in the living room. Controller support ain’t there yet. Needs a lot of work. On keyboard/mouse it’s not bad. Pet AI is buggy, but that is true for a lot of games. I’ve definitely had more bugs than with release D4 but if they keep bug fixing it will be fine. Stuff like potions spawning under the floor was very annoying. It was worth $35, but I still think D4 is better today. Your mileage may vary.
"Diablo killer" - this phrase just takes me 15 years back :D
Been playing last epoch for 2 years Glad it's finally launched 1.0. But it's bittersweet in a way as online mode has been virtually unavailable. Having offline mode has helped
Last night they resolved a lot of the server issues, but then this morning the peak player count went above 250k which caused more issues. That being said, it looks like the dev team is on it. I've been enjoying this game, I don't know that I would say it's as good as path of exile for example. I get a grim dawn meets path of exile vibe, and it's definitely fun.
I've also been playing a falconer, I like that you can take explosive trap and turn it into a bow skill, and the gameplay feels really good. I will be curious to see what the end game builds look like and what itemization looks like at the end game (I'm at chapter 9). I've been able to crush this game with negative resistances, but I think a lot of that comes from my experience playing other ARPGs. Do I see myself coming back to this game and playing it as much as I played POE? Honestly I don't know, it really depends on whether or not they plan to do leagues or seasons and what kind of content they plan to add to their game going forward.
For now, I've definitely gotten my money's worth and that's certainly something that should be celebrated. I do think the class system is slightly limiting but then I'm also used to POE where every class has access to every skill and the only differentiation are the ascendances and where you start on the skill tree.
Yeah people really need to find something else to do, or get a job or something. People who sit at the login screen and compulsively trying to log in for hours aren't making the server problems any better
That's not the problem, the reason why it changed is because obviously it's a Saturday instead of a weekday, everybody who did have a job is now off and is trying to play.
@@draakisback I reckon so huh? Damn
They did a great job optimizing the performance of the game. I am able to play the game on Ultra without my PC going crazy in temperature compared to the early access.
The Loadingscreens are an absulute GEM in this game! lov it so far.
It's worth the money I paid. Only issue I have right now is that some animations (Like dual wielding) aren't in and the control scheme is a bit confusing. Left Click should be more than just move/interact, you should be able to move and attack. I want them to bring back the Bind to attack with it.
I'm a lifelong Diablo kid (as many of us are in the ARPG world... admit it, we're old heads)
But wow... Last Epoch has been a blast for me.
So far it feels like a love letter to D2 (not in the 1:1 sense), rather my excitement in playing this new game took me all the way back to when I first launched D2 as my Druid and saw Sanctuary unfold before me as I summoned my companions and cast Tornadoes...
I know gaming is never linear (ie: the end user experience) but holy moly...
Even with all of it's "LE-61" .... I'm level 36 and turning into the Swamp Thing with thorn totems everywhere.
I really respect Last Epoch for what they've gone. From my experience playing so far, it feels as if they've taken a lot of systems from all the genre's bests and somehow figured out how to meld them all together into one game. It feels so awesome. Theorycrafting is FUN and leveling with my own build has been awesome and surprisingly strong. The artstyle is great, reminds me a lot of a mix between PoE and Grim Dawn. The story and writing isn't one the game's strong-suits IMO but it does take you through a lot of different places (and timelines) that really showcase the variety in environments, which makes it feel refreshing and less stale than other games so far. The launch-day issue really aren't even that severe, the offline mode means I can still play painlessly and get familiar with the game. Second playthrough online will be much more streamlined! Great job to the devs! I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH ALREADY.
I'll take lesser production value over 60 dollar mount armor
Any and everyday
Last epoch is everything I've ever wanted in an ARPG and also I'm very sure the modding community will come in clutch for this games offline mode 100%
You scratch me in the right places.
I really love this game. We have been playing it for a few years now and were waiting for the Warlock and Falconeer to release ever since they were first announced.
It's a bit sad that we can't really play them at the moment but what's a few days or weeks more after waiting for about 3 years.
The thing that really saddens me is the massive backlash the devs have experienced. They had to pull everyone except the CMs from Discord because of the absolutely vile comments they had to endure over there.
I've just been playing offline. It's been fantastic.
