"Expertly" lying, saying Last Epoch launched with Leaderboards when it didn't have them for over 4 years. The game launched in 2019 and didn't add leaderboards until 2023. Raxx is not the person you should look to for expert research, he's just a popular streamer that wants to pander.

As a long time, experienced PoE player, I learned a lot from the PoE Beginner's Guide, and a ton more from the mapping guide. I know so much less about Last Epoch, and I am extremely excited to sit here and have you explain this game to me the same as you did PoE. In the friendliest viewer to creator way, I really do love and appreciate you Raxx.
one of the biggest pros for me is that you dont have the feeling to have to rely on a build someone else made. It gives the game an entire new meaning if you can tinker away and try stuff out with easy corrections on the way. I know you can do that in any game (not the easy corrections tho..). But for a casual .. thats often times more frustrating then rewarding.
Yeah, there are some great builds that I wouldn't necessarily have understood the combo of passives for, which is fun, but working it out yourself is also fun. I like the spread, there.
what will be the benefits of rolling a new character once the game launches? can i theoretically still play my current char or will everything be wiped?
I'm not a beginner, I'm here just to boost your numbers and leave a comment. I'm so happy you tried this game and that you like it so much. I can't wait for the game to officially release. Their core systems are just far above any other ARPG imo.
Comment here, comment there! I also want Raxx to release videos unpacking cheese and bread from supermarket. Also tasting different cheesburgers. I would watch that too!
Damn Raxx is really starting to become one of my favorite content creators, not only for ARPGs but in general. All the videos are really informative, there's no bullshit, great talking style too, you can tell he put some effort into that. Well done!
OVER 199 STASH STABS?!? FREEEEEEE???? - Mind... blown... - (Right now Blizzard is laughing and pointing their fingers... and then crying in the corner when no one sees them...)
lol I’m cracking up at how scorned you are by Diablo games “and by some unknown technology from the future, grab your armrests get ready, there are 200 stash tabs on launch.” 🤣
As a long time D3 player who has dabbled in D4, Torchlight, Grim Dawn, and Victor Vran, this video has sold me on this game for the loot filter, stash management, and crafting alone! You mean to tell me I can do crafting outside of town without having to hunt down a blacksmith?! And I get a ton of stash tabs? Mind blowing indeed! Thanks for the very informative guide!
yea these systems are best of any ARPG i ever seen, and dont forget the ability to 'slam' stats from an item onto a Legendary , Such a COOL IDEA, D4 is so dumb for not taking these ideas
@@dragon_dyce LE took ideas from the community and veteran ARPG players hence why it is how it is, i think Ziz gave some ideas to them to implement in game, and they did
They also seem to have solved the trading vs good/interesting drops with the item factions. I'm really happy that i already bought this game years ago. Not just that, i upgraded to the deluxe tier yesterday and can't wait for the 21. february.
19:30 With loot filter, Rax discovers the fun of a programmer. It’s high level programming language in disguise, I guess it’s the highest level programming language.
@@sighfly2928 well, your statement technically true. Building a loot filter however is programming a program to do something, to filter loot obviously, which is closer to the traditional sense of programming. I only learned the very basics of programming and just enough to understand how programming works. It’s truly a universe level vast space of possibilities, but requires impossible amount of tedious work.
You can think of it as long sequence of if (cond1) doStuff(), return; if (cond2) doStuff2(), return;. Not really a programming language, just an advanced config file. a lot of complex software have configuration files that support conditional statements in it, Nginx come to my mind. If you want to 'feel being programmer' I won't blame you :D
@@mapron1 It is a long sequence of if then. Well, ya, no loops no constructs etc., but well, it’s extremely limited, but it has a tiny feel of what programming is to me.
Thank you Raxx! I always check out your vids on games but this one is a huge help. Honestly it's been a minute since I've dove into a new game like this. I'm looking forward to it and feel equipped with good info from this vid.
Dude, I've been following you all through D3 and D4. I was looking into getting into Last Epoch and searching for a guide like this and you pull through. I am soooooo glad I am a subscriber to your channel. You are an angel for all of us ARPG enthusiasts.
"you need an PhD in Path of Exile" - This is exactly what Path of Exile is and why it will never be as popular as other ARPG. It punishes casual for not getting a Masters degree in Path of Exile.
Super dope video raxx! Another helpful tip for people who kinda know what theyre doing and have some last epoch experience: if youre crafting and you need a rather hard to find affix shard like "+rank to multishot" or something, and you do not have enough materials to level it up to t5 to get the extra rank to that skill, SAVE your runes of removal and the next time you get any item with that affix you needed, do NOT use a shatter rune, instead use removal so you can use those shards to upgrade your equipped gear. I realized that i was very quickly beginning to stack those more rare affixes because i was using removals instead of shatters.
Great video Raxx, really on point and covers all the important part of the game. The only thing I want to add is that Rune of Ascendance has a lower LP chance and more importantly CANNOT create a boss specific unique (i.e. Apathy's Maw)
I dind't even start to watch the video and I just know its going to be awesome because of Rax. Thank you for covering LE, please do more things with the game like guides for classes and builds! Rax, I would follow you my brother, my captain, my king of ARPGs
Anyone even slightly interested in arpgs should be supporting this game. We need to reward devs like this (and GGG) for making quality products without outrageous mtx prices or pay2win. But most importantly it’s just a TON of fun and deep! It’s also completely possible to play through w/o a guide if you wanna figure things out for yourself.
The number of shards from shattering is between 1 and the tier of the affix, so I wouldn’t bother storing anything early game, the runes could do further later on.
Hello, After viewing this video I decided to buy Last Epoch. I'm having one issue with it as I'm left handed : it's impossible for me to use the "Shift key" for standing still (or "Hold position" hotkey in diablo 4) and I haven't found any way to change that keybind in the control settings ; it's Shift no matter what. Is there any way to somehow change the shortcut from Shift to something else ?
The shift key not being possible to bind has been an issue for every single one of my left handed friends too, even if we had to change the default bind in some .ini file I would love to know as it's difficult to access the shift key for left handed players. To have an idea of the issue, most left handed players have their right index finger on the W key, so you can guess how burdensome the Shift key is for them.
LE Devs: "Let's fix every cumbersome and boring problem about the core mechanics in aRPGs then add everything you could ever dream of into our game with a tenth of the development budget then sell it for $35." Blizz: "So we're gonna charge $25 for a horse. Wait....what did he say!?
I like the crafting system, coupled with the loot filter, because say you like crit, crit damage, fire damage, and attack speed, any item with these affixes is inherently valuable because you can build up very useful shards to use on stronger items later, and use the filter to pick up only those useful items. Sick idea.
You have status in your character window that you have not died yet even when you play as softcore, so you can do kinda softcore survival challenge to keep that status as long as possible.
Amazing guide, both information and delivery wise. Raxx, if you were a teacher I'd probably never miss any off your classes, I watched the whole thing with a huge smiler on my face :) I tell you enjoy this game a lot by the excitement in your voice, which makes me really happy!
The in game tooltips, Loot filter, faction system, stash system and materials system have me sold on giving this game a try. It looks like this dev team actually played an ARPG before making one, this is so much quality of life. It feels like GGG and Blizzard both have something to learn here about QOL and in game information.
IMHO this shows me how inept the entire D4 team is as a whole. You’re telling the game has been out for over a year and yet devs still haven’t had the guts to go to their seniors and push more QOL updates for the game. This is the nail in the coffin for me, never again will I play a Blizzard game.
@@sighfly2928 Not to mention that Last Epoch has been in EA for years, so they had a loooong time to possibly learn things from LE, not to mention Grim Dawn, D3!, PoE etc. Just amazing really - except for the graphics / sound, it feels like D4 was made by highschool senior game design course members, not a multi-billion dollar development company.
@@dragon_dyce I don't have a lot of confidence that this is the case anymore with Blizzard. I think they would somehow find a way to implement the same features in a less competent way.
I think this is the first "Beginner" Video I've seen that mentioned there was a guide... considering I am a beginner who tends to consume a lot of info ahead of time, it was new to me. Being searchable as well, more games need such things. Solid to the point video as always Raxx!
Last Epoch is a game that's easy to play, challenging to master, and I LOVE the fact it's just the right amount of "balance" for an ARPG in my opinion.
Two things I think you should have mentioned. The first one is this game is 4 years old. Yes it was called early release but it was out, it was full price, people were streaming it and playing it. There are many players that know the game inside and out. This isn't a bad thing per se but people need to realize that this is not a new game. It means it is more feature complete than something like say D4 but it also means they are probably going to be less inclined to change the game based on new player feedback, they have been getting the feedback for 4+ years now. The second one is they said they would not be charging for expansions. This isn't D4 which came out in a beta state and by the time it feels finished you have had to shell out 2 or 3 expansion prices. Unless they change something this is one a one time purchase for the game and then if you want to buy cosmetics etc you can.
The problem I've had in the past is in the higher levels I go forever between upgrades. I usually just give up. I -pretty much- understand the crafting system, but I'm missing something at the higher levels.
I have truly relied on your content for a long time and was very gratified to see this video drop. You helped me off of the fence about Last Epoch as I was reluctant to say the least to purchase after my experience with D4, LE is downloading now. The quality of your approach is only matched by your patient sowing of info and tips, you've never wavered in this standard. Your efforts are greatly appreciated, thank you.
Beginner tip if you have bad eyesight / nearsight issues - get really good glasses because the game have no UI Scaling and have the smallest text in game history. They really need to change this. Otherwise a fantastic game and looking forward to 1.0. Happy weekend everyone.
@@Chris3s Did you know 99% of the bluelight youll ever experience in your life comes from the sun? I say this as someone who has yellow tinted glasses :D
Doesn't matter to what I said though, just stating that my glasses helped me from having aching eyes after working for the whole day and then also sometimes gaming @@TheRealTrucido
First of all thank you for your informative, no-filler content. Secondly... Wow, it's actually kind of alien having a game that actually cares about what players want and their choices, after being neglected for so long by other games. I feel like a child again, I almost teared up when playing this game bro. Mad respect to the team for that made this game, and I hope they break sale records because they deserve it.
Honestly man your guides help me get into ARPGs. I always put it off due to not wanting to suffer the learning curve but you remove the pain completely
Nice guide! I'm a new player and a friend show me an explosive archer build, but I'm a fan of Necromancer. So I incorporated what's good from the archer and turned my Necromancer into a explosive minion master. Group of enemies exploded after I ran pass them😅 My video is up if anyone is interested.
You are the reason I bought the Ultimate PreOrder. Gave it 30 hours, 2 weeks ago, just to dabble. I am taking a 3 week vacation starting the 22nd for this game. Those 20 hours brought me back to my childhood... Where I FELT this excited when I purchased Diablo 2 and rode my bicycle back to my house to play it. Eleventh Hour Games has done it!
This game I’m going to run 0 guides and just figure everything out myself. I only followed guides in POE because I really hated that game until I found out everything through guides. For sure POE you have to look at guides, but this game feels good even at level 70s without a guide, so I’m just going to enjoy it for what it is.
Finally tried it because of all the hype. Not nearly as polished as D4 but way more fun. Why didn't Blizzard steal ANY of these ideas for D4?! D4 is a name and pretty face. LE is a ton of heart behind good ideas.
The side-quest overview on the world map is a big deal for me. I remember my first experience with PoE being that I had to keep a campaign guide open in browser to tab back and forth to so that I wouldn’t miss out on skill points (or whatever they’re called) from optional quests. I didn’t even finish the campaign or try the game again after that.
I love what you say, and even more I love how you say it. To me, you are a symbol of what a gamer used to be. Smart, respectful and funny. You make me enjoy gaming again. Thank you, Raxx.
They really missed out not launching on Console. With D4 self destructing what a better time to offer an alternative for console's who already have limited options in the ARPG space.
Started my first character this week to prepare for launch and your opening points are perhaps the most relevant - Last Epoch really does put all the information in front of you in a remarkably straightforward fashion. It's incredibly refreshing and it does make me excited to come up with my own builds on the fly. With that said, I wouldn't want a new ARPG launch without a big beginner's guide from Raxx, and this was another great one. Thanks!
The only thing that makes me hesitant about this game is the mob density. I'm honestly not sure if I can get excited about killing 5-10 mobs at a time.
I don't want to be a PoE andy, but why is everyone happy and excited about an hour long Beginner's guide for LE but if it's PoE it's too much and they are "9 kids dad casual" all of a sudden? :D Either way, I put in about 200ish hours in to LE few months ago and it has promise. Better start than D4bad for sure, it's just how they take it further with cycles.
Rax my man when i saw ur videos drop out i love to insta make a comment i watching ur videos so many times and u doing good job with it. Best of luck on LastEpoch for ya mate, waiting more content from ya on my favorit game so far Last Epoch. p.s. Sorry for English, hi from Russia
I watched a ton of LE guides and this is by far the most comprehensive and friendliest one out there. You are really the best Raxx. Thanks as always cheers 😊
I swear it's so annoying that cool looking games like this never really reach consoles ever. Even more so when they add these said games when the hype died 3- 5 years ago. They took forever to get rust to console that i didn't care about it when it did. Maybe some day this game will be released on console, but hopefully, it's not too late.
5 years ago I bought my first gaming pc for $700 and it was the best purchase of my adult life. Gaming is on a whole new level. Anyone that considers themselves a gamer owes it to themselves to get a pc. At least at some point. I was 29 when I bought mine. Save up and invest in yourself. You won’t regret it!
Honestly just get GeForce Now. Works on AndroidTV like Shield, or shitty laptop. Soon probably on Apple TV as well. U can use a controller or mouse/keyboard. I recommend Ultimate tier if you want no queue.
Even though I already knew most of what you presented, I just HAD to watch the whole thing. Extremely well done! Concise, clear, useful advice for every part of the game, I think many people might like this video format better than a “review” to actually know what the game is like. GG
My favorite thing from playing over the last month to prepare to 1.0 is that almost every ability that I built around was genuinely fun. Even the stuff that wasn't OP was satisfying. I can't wait to really dig in at launch. Setting up the loot filters hurts my brain a bit, but everything else was intuitive to me (purposely didn't look anything up, wanted to see how learnable it was when going in blind).
I already put something like 70 hours into Last Epoch and i can say it feels really good. I usually stop after a couple monoliths and try a new class / mastery. The fact that you can't change masteries feels kinda bad, but besides that the game is fine. As people say, it smoothly fills the gap between PoE and Diablo.
Do you have a video like this but for Path of Exile? I keep trying to get into that game but there is just so much to learn and I always get overwhelmed. Thank you for the great content!
Really want to thank you for your guides! I have been playing for a while on my own and now am playing with friends and family. Watching your various videos have really upped my game.
hell yeah cannot wait and sorry Raxx I don't quite believe you when you say you can buy 200 stash tabs no way is the technology that good like in Diablo4 💀💀
I would warn on builds, a lot of them will stall out at empowered, level 100 content. You'll have to know where certain things drop and you'll probably want to follow a build to get as much defense to dps as you can. before that it doesn't matter though. Then again the level 100 game sort of gets repetitive too so not everyone sticks around. I would at the very least maybe look up the top 6 builds for your class and at least keep the idols related to it. Idols and maybe the neck are sort of the harder thing to get good rolls on
I messed around with LE several months ago and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't end up getting too deep into endgame. Very excited for 1.0 launch, and even more excited to have Raxx dropping bomb guides for it!

There are many players that know the game inside and out. This isn't a bad thing per se but people need to realize that this is not a new game. It means it is more feature complete than something like say D4 but it also means they are probably going to be less inclined to change the game based on new player feedback, they have been getting the feedback for 4+ years now.
The second one is they said they would not be charging for expansions. This isn't D4 which came out in a beta state and by the time it feels finished you have had to shell out 2 or 3 expansion prices. Unless they change something this is one a one time purchase for the game and then if you want to buy cosmetics etc you can.
Rax, you just rock so hard. you probably wont see this but I really appreciate your passion AND how well your videos are put together.
The problem I've had in the past is in the higher levels I go forever between upgrades. I usually just give up. I -pretty much- understand the crafting system, but I'm missing something at the higher levels.
Hands down best guides on the interwebs!
I have truly relied on your content for a long time and was very gratified to see this video drop. You helped me off of the fence about Last Epoch as I was reluctant to say the least to purchase after my experience with D4, LE is downloading now.
The quality of your approach is only matched by your patient sowing of info and tips, you've never wavered in this standard.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated, thank you.
25:37 The face, the delivery. Funny as fuck lol.
Beginner tip if you have bad eyesight / nearsight issues - get really good glasses because the game have no UI Scaling and have the smallest text in game history. They really need to change this. Otherwise a fantastic game and looking forward to 1.0. Happy weekend everyone.
I mean everyone with bad eyesight should get glasses. Upgrade your GPU IRL. Huge QoL.
yea if you are gaming getting bluelight filter on any glasses is a huge boon. Since then my eyes never hurt
@@Chris3s Did you know 99% of the bluelight youll ever experience in your life comes from the sun? I say this as someone who has yellow tinted glasses :D
Doesn't matter to what I said though, just stating that my glasses helped me from having aching eyes after working for the whole day and then also sometimes gaming @@TheRealTrucido
@@Chris3s Glasses in general or blue light filtering ones?
First of all thank you for your informative, no-filler content. Secondly... Wow, it's actually kind of alien having a game that actually cares about what players want and their choices, after being neglected for so long by other games. I feel like a child again, I almost teared up when playing this game bro. Mad respect to the team for that made this game, and I hope they break sale records because they deserve it.
Honestly man your guides help me get into ARPGs. I always put it off due to not wanting to suffer the learning curve but you remove the pain completely
"i'm sure blizzard will put more into as time goes on" TOP KEKW
Nice guide! I'm a new player and a friend show me an explosive archer build, but I'm a fan of Necromancer. So I incorporated what's good from the archer and turned my Necromancer into a explosive minion master. Group of enemies exploded after I ran pass them😅
My video is up if anyone is interested.
You are the reason I bought the Ultimate PreOrder. Gave it 30 hours, 2 weeks ago, just to dabble. I am taking a 3 week vacation starting the 22nd for this game. Those 20 hours brought me back to my childhood... Where I FELT this excited when I purchased Diablo 2 and rode my bicycle back to my house to play it. Eleventh Hour Games has done it!
Dont rush with the vacation, my guy - the servers will likely fall under the influx of new players
This game I’m going to run 0 guides and just figure everything out myself. I only followed guides in POE because I really hated that game until I found out everything through guides. For sure POE you have to look at guides, but this game feels good even at level 70s without a guide, so I’m just going to enjoy it for what it is.
Finally tried it because of all the hype. Not nearly as polished as D4 but way more fun. Why didn't Blizzard steal ANY of these ideas for D4?!
D4 is a name and pretty face.
LE is a ton of heart behind good ideas.
The side-quest overview on the world map is a big deal for me. I remember my first experience with PoE being that I had to keep a campaign guide open in browser to tab back and forth to so that I wouldn’t miss out on skill points (or whatever they’re called) from optional quests. I didn’t even finish the campaign or try the game again after that.
re fast travel: you can *just* right click, no need to left click. Efficiency increase!
I love what you say, and even more I love how you say it. To me, you are a symbol of what a gamer used to be. Smart, respectful and funny. You make me enjoy gaming again. Thank you, Raxx.
They really missed out not launching on Console.
With D4 self destructing what a better time to offer an alternative for console's who already have limited options in the ARPG space.
I'm so excited to listen to this video in its entirety and retain none of the information because I'm dumb.
Hoping the Indie Devs over at Blizzard take some of these AAA features into consideration for their next Alpha build of Diablo 4 🤞
I have 250 hours in the game since 2021. Hugely recommend DoT+ Ward Plague Doctor Lich build
Started my first character this week to prepare for launch and your opening points are perhaps the most relevant - Last Epoch really does put all the information in front of you in a remarkably straightforward fashion. It's incredibly refreshing and it does make me excited to come up with my own builds on the fly. With that said, I wouldn't want a new ARPG launch without a big beginner's guide from Raxx, and this was another great one. Thanks!
200 Stash tabs!? Loot filters!? Sort buttons!? Leaderboards!? … What feh magic is this!?
The only thing that makes me hesitant about this game is the mob density. I'm honestly not sure if I can get excited about killing 5-10 mobs at a time.
Grim whet my appetite for a loot filter, but this...Last Epoch? I'm quiverin.
Can’t wait! 5 more sleeps
I don't want to be a PoE andy, but why is everyone happy and excited about an hour long Beginner's guide for LE but if it's PoE it's too much and they are "9 kids dad casual" all of a sudden? :D Either way, I put in about 200ish hours in to LE few months ago and it has promise. Better start than D4bad for sure, it's just how they take it further with cycles.
Raxx you are amazing brother
Raxx just made this video to flex his Apathy Maw, you cant fool us.
You know its Quality when its coming from Sir Raxx, Thanks a lot for this great valuable content.
Rax my man when i saw ur videos drop out i love to insta make a comment i watching ur videos so many times and u doing good job with it. Best of luck on LastEpoch for ya mate, waiting more content from ya on my favorit game so far Last Epoch. p.s. Sorry for English, hi from Russia
You had me until...farmed all day for an affix for a 1 in 4 chance of success. no thanks
I hope poe learn some things to give us more cuality of life like the auto sort and more explanations
THANK YOU FOR THIS RAX. was looking for a good guide as just picked le up and the goat at making beginners guides himself just posted one
I watched a ton of LE guides and this is by far the most comprehensive and friendliest one out there. You are really the best Raxx. Thanks as always cheers 😊
I swear it's so annoying that cool looking games like this never really reach consoles ever. Even more so when they add these said games when the hype died 3- 5 years ago. They took forever to get rust to console that i didn't care about it when it did. Maybe some day this game will be released on console, but hopefully, it's not too late.
Bite the bullet and buy a $500-700 gaming pc, you won't regret it and you can still use a controller of your choice
You goin to love pc master race 😎
5 years ago I bought my first gaming pc for $700 and it was the best purchase of my adult life. Gaming is on a whole new level. Anyone that considers themselves a gamer owes it to themselves to get a pc. At least at some point. I was 29 when I bought mine. Save up and invest in yourself. You won’t regret it!
Give it 2 or 3 years, I know it sucks
Honestly just get GeForce Now. Works on AndroidTV like Shield, or shitty laptop. Soon probably on Apple TV as well. U can use a controller or mouse/keyboard. I recommend Ultimate tier if you want no queue.
I've already watched a few guides and tips videos, having barely even 3 hrs of playtime. This was the most useful one, great job.
so how much RAM ist this 200 tabs gonna allocate secretly?
Wait... No micro transactions to buy QOL stuff? THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR THIS!
Indie devs are making a come up on these AAA games
that 1.8second loot filter pasting efficiency calculation
Even though I already knew most of what you presented, I just HAD to watch the whole thing. Extremely well done! Concise, clear, useful advice for every part of the game, I think many people might like this video format better than a “review” to actually know what the game is like.
GG
1/2 the price of a mount in D4... Blizz soo bad
My favorite thing from playing over the last month to prepare to 1.0 is that almost every ability that I built around was genuinely fun. Even the stuff that wasn't OP was satisfying. I can't wait to really dig in at launch.
Setting up the loot filters hurts my brain a bit, but everything else was intuitive to me (purposely didn't look anything up, wanted to see how learnable it was when going in blind).
D4 is a dead game, so pumped for this. Please make some guides!!!
poor advise. i copied my loot filter in 2secs. BOO!!
This is a crazy well organized and clear video. Thank you
I already put something like 70 hours into Last Epoch and i can say it feels really good. I usually stop after a couple monoliths and try a new class / mastery. The fact that you can't change masteries feels kinda bad, but besides that the game is fine. As people say, it smoothly fills the gap between PoE and Diablo.
Do you have a video like this but for Path of Exile? I keep trying to get into that game but there is just so much to learn and I always get overwhelmed. Thank you for the great content!
He has 2 parts for PoE and they are recent so up to date, first one being early game campaign and such, 2nd part being all about endgame mapping
@@zedia7967 thank you very much
1.0 launched. No one having crazy loading time when entering zones? A huge turn off.
Hypeeeeeee ! Great that will be also graphics update in 1.0 !!!
Really want to thank you for your guides! I have been playing for a while on my own and now am playing with friends and family. Watching your various videos have really upped my game.
Thanks Raxx!
200 tabs!? this is the game of the century!
hell yeah cannot wait and sorry Raxx I don't quite believe you when you say you can buy 200 stash tabs no way is the technology that good like in Diablo4 💀💀
I would warn on builds, a lot of them will stall out at empowered, level 100 content. You'll have to know where certain things drop and you'll probably want to follow a build to get as much defense to dps as you can. before that it doesn't matter though. Then again the level 100 game sort of gets repetitive too so not everyone sticks around. I would at the very least maybe look up the top 6 builds for your class and at least keep the idols related to it. Idols and maybe the neck are sort of the harder thing to get good rolls on
Going to work in 30minutes, I'll be listening to this for sure! Looking forward to it. Perfect timing, thank you Raxx.
Best guide from the best boy! Good job Raxx! You are the hero we all deserve!
Do they offer a PhD program to play this game?
I messed around with LE several months ago and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't end up getting too deep into endgame. Very excited for 1.0 launch, and even more excited to have Raxx dropping bomb guides for it!
if you need ONE HOUR guide to start this game...it's another terrible PEO game. no thx...
Yea, looks pretty damned complicated for first time viewing. Ofcourse people that been playing it for half a decade will tell you it doesn't.
Hello there friend, I started the game 2 days ago and its actually very simple
@@zedia7967 Just because you think it's simple, doesn't mean you got an understanding or are building your charecter the right way.
I lived for this video, thank you Raxx ❤
