5 Most Annoying Last Epoch Issues That Need To Go

[@machetegaming]

What improvements would you like to see in Last Epoch?

[@AnHuynh01101]

You just point out exactly what they need to do asap. Graphic Performance is terrible. Some builds can randomly drop the FPS. I believe they need to add legendary potential or unique names on the loot filter asap. The loot drop in COF is getting annoying, specially with the out of screen damage map. The loot filter is totally useless when the COF hit level 10.

[@cirescythe]

​@@AnHuynh01101totally useless has to be the exaggeration of the year.

[@BearsDenOneinVain]

I think if there are stats on the gears, they should all be on char sheet also. I have boots with melee crit multi, but ya never see it on the char sheet.

[@taz4548]

The COF lenses show the information when hovered over only when you are looking at them in the purchase area. When they are installed at the telescope or in your inventory then mousing over them doesn't show the information.

[@Johnny6gunss]

The crafting window is so annoying when im scrolling thru my prefixes or whatever and all of sudden the menu dissapears lol hope that gets fixed

[@parabolgravity]

amen to this

[@iargaCI]

Yes its a annoying bug....the mouse pointer looses focus when you go over the edge off the component panel and the focus goes over to the inventory panel that is below.....

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

1. AGREE, Nuking Spires imo needs to be reworked (or flat out removed) I can't check loot and I'm not backtracking. 2. AGREE, I have a 14700K & 4090 and the performance is pretty bad for a isometric game like this. 3. AGREE, Arena's suck I skip them every chance I get. 4. AGREE, I've learned that the UI in online mode actually works much better; including player health bars. 5. AGREE, A DPS meter along w/ full detailed specs in tool tips & char sheet would be greatly appreciated. I play a lich and I have to manually calculate physical spell crit into my build because the character sheet doesn't show it. I love this game but it does still need a bit of work.

[@BloodSynthetic]

I have 5900x 32gb and 3060 ,i have zero problems except only when i play with explosive traps marksman and the screen is full of explosions but then agains is acceptable .A classic setting for all arpgs ,from d4,poe and LE is to max/min fps to 60 from settings .

[@BearsDenOneinVain]

I agree w ya 100%

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

@@BloodSynthetic Forgot to mention I play 4K 120fps. If I were playing at 60fps at a lower res obviously it would be better.

[@ronnienaikey]

100% agree about the performance issues. I've spent decent amount of time trying to experiment with settings, and I still can't play some maps. I'll be on stable 70-80 fps, and then suddenly it goes to 10-20. Especially boss area of arena, it's totally unplayable for me for some reason.

[@iargaCI]

ill add my issue is that there is no option to lock your gear in place ok i have parkinsons but it was never a problem in PoE ... playing LE i keep on changing gear when i check and compare loot im always have to go check my bags or vendor or worse shatter a item. i just wish they just had a option in the setting where i could lock my items

[@machetegaming]

Gear lock would be nice, and also build templates!

[@GoersEdits]

As a a destiny and arpg player, i agree lmao

[@wheeze9378]

Definitely think Optimization is the number 1 prio. The game tends to feel "slow" when moving my character around, cuz the FPS isn't super stabile. Really wish it felt way more fluent.

[@rayymondmorgan1697]

1 "Damage out of screen" Iv been crying about this in forums ever since early january 2021 they dont give a fck.. truly. Stopping to loot is the main cause of death in monoliths xD Agree with everything you said.

[@cgerman]

At last someone spoke about the UI, the UI is a mess, and no one seems to care. Even when it's working the tooltips sometimes are so big they cover a large part of the screen. There should be a shortcut to see them only when I want. Yes I know what +dexterity does, I don't need this tooltip covering everything all the time.

[@sokion]

EHG def needs to address these issues. Good stuff man

[@LiteDuoVideos]

Yeah I totally agree last point, for example my necromancer minion build... i have items that buff minion dmg by 80% but yet adds less damage then just 2-3 stat points in int lol, it's sooo annoying trying find improvements on my minion build. Got spell damage which some minions get buffed, minion damage, minion melee/bow/spell damage etc. I stopped using my necro at lvl 95 just for this reason

[@Evilwombat]

Hit the nail on the head! All 5 of these issues need to be sorted out ASAP in my opinion

[@Veilamia]

they really need more than 2 people working on the performance and optimization of the game, it just ruins everything else thats great about last epoch

[@Ender7j]

This video was really good. I appreciate the helpful criticism approach you took and it’s useful feedback for developers.

[@mutleysaka]

The performance is the single biggest issue i have with the game.. I can play for 5 minutes, 30 minutes or 8 hours. But its guarenteed that at some point, my computer will go black and reboot itself cause of the game. NO OTHER GAME to date does this to my rig. Its keeping me from playing the game untill they have it fixed. Really annoying. And i have a pretty good build: i9-12900 4070Ti 16GB DDR4.

[@noxwarlord4909]

I need more descriptions on certain things And I would love a damage meeting I'm also glad you said more info on the character page! These would help you make your own build I made a shamen who just spams tornado, and he's awesome, but I would like to see what needs work or focus on, etc. Thank you for this video

[@FlameForgedSoul]

1: *Gods* yes, those damned flowers, the Soulfire Bastion... 2: Not as bad for Us as others, but We hear you 3: Agreed 4: Or item descriptions and npc chat bubble cursors pop up when you're browsing a completely unrelated part of the UI. 5: Indeed We'll also add: -Interrupts/responsiveness; if We are spamming Healing Hands and then hit the key for Judgement, Judgement should fire off _immediately_ after the last frame of HH, if not interrupt it completely to cast. -Melee/enemy collision. Combat turning into a game of bumper cars where instead of attacking you find yourself trying to path around mobs, this will definitely be responsible for many unfair deaths in HC, if it isn't already. -Frozen Lunge, if you know, you know. Again, pathing. -Skill adders. Swapping a '+ to x skill' item for an item with the same bonus should not result in me having to repurchase skill nodes. Failing that one should be able to see exactly which points were removed *Respeccing* is a massive PITA with Passive points. Wanting to change things around in the base class tree should not require refunding _every point_ in the other *two* trees.... ONE POINT AT A TIME. People cookie cutting from maxroll are fine, but some of us like to experiment, and this tedious mechanic kills that vibe real quick.

[@mikecy5507]

After 1500 hours of playing, I'll give you 7, in no particular order: 1) An option for auto-pickup of affix shards, and another option to auto-send them to the materials inventory, so they never clutter up the main inventory 2) Additional options in loot filter to filter uniques based on LP or how many you already have (set items, too). This would not really be needed if they provided #5 below 3) Faster monolith corruption progress 4) Allow us to slightly boost a monolith blessing if you get the same one you already have - no more wasted timeline progress 5) Allow us to "meld" multiple identical unique or set items. The new melded version has the best affixes in each slot from the pool of items that created it. No more useless duplicates constantly dropping, or time spent figuring out which copy is better. Put 7 copies of a specific unique in the melder, produce 1 item with the best affixes of the pool of 7 in each slot. Maybe this melder is found at the end of a new dungeon, or maybe after defeating Orobyss. Items are account-bound after melding, so can't sell/gift them. 7) Make life builds on par with ward. Ward way too strong right now.

[@machetegaming]

Some nice suggestions! You missed nr 6 tho 😅 Auto pick up is actually already available with a mod in the offline mode. I wish they would implement in the future an auto-pick up for gold and shards as an option within the game's options.

[@HolyPire]

To stats: give me the base numer of whatever damage type.. not only procent increase....

[@DeimosDarkness]

I think arena should give extra XP, smaller maps and some way to forge uniques to increase the stats if the champion is defeated. Also, if you check your health before and after adding +health idols, the changes do not show at all in the character stats window.

[@ooanticsoo4475]

Stop the insane rng! Getting an item to drop....then needing it to roll lp.THEN 🙏 that it will enchant the correct stats over when merging. That isn't respectful to our time.

[@machetegaming]

Some more narrowing of the loot would be neat indeed!

[@emzeeDD]

Please fix the waiting times for fast travel between locations Please add an info how much corruption which Mono actually have (at the Map Menu) Thanks ❤

[@davidhall6436]

Do you happen to have a build guide for that mage build you're running in the video. Looks insane!!

[@-toadstoolicious-9851]

Damage out of screen wont activate if there are no enemies close. You can then stop to check inventory or whatnot. Personnaly i dont mind it

[@Ares42]

Of all the characters I've done so far in the game for not a single of them has the DPS metric on the skills been a useful metric of showing how much damage I actually do. I'm sure there are builds that are more straight forward, but every build I've done so far has some sort of ability trigger, or DoT application or pet implementation that is not included in the skill dps.

[@LakerTriangle]

#1 is my biggest issue! And for me only one way to craft specific legendaries (non Weavers) is a huge issue...Dungeon keys for Temporal Sanctum should drop like candy, yet I've gotten 1 in the past week (but tons of LA)

[@UruseiYatsu]

Reign of dragons boss drops me one every single time I kill it. Dunno if this is the case for all monolith bosses tho.

[@boombabitch]

1 drop in a week? You mist be doing 3 echos a day

[@theslay66]

When you start grinding in monos they do drop like candy. In legacy I have a full storage page of keys, and already an half-full one for this cycle. And I'm not even someone who exclusively play high-level content -all the contrary, in fact I have plenty of rerolls and not one lvl 100, so I play a lot of low-level content.

[@LakerTriangle]

@@boombabitch grinding up a 2nd character now and I doing more than 3. Arena, Lightless, and Soul keys drop often - I'm just not getting TS. The game can see I have zero so....

[@BloodSynthetic]

Is my favourite arpg right now but yes those things need to go plus when you die in Dungeons is very very annoying to spawn on irrelevant places and not outside the dungeon so you can re-enter,im 100% sure many people dont retry after some deaths in dungeon ,arpgs are by default grinding and famring games so you need less loading screens and when you die in Dungeons you must go through 2 load screens . Second, corruption increase is very very slow , they need to make it very easy to go to 300 corruption and then make it harder to increase it.

[@lfemomo77]

Agree 💯 with everything you said. Just don’t know if they have enough staff or capable staff to make these improvements in a “reasonable” timeframe before people quit the game

[@Salubrious388]

Damage out of screen: this is done to create an urgency in game and I think the 1 shits that you’re referring to is actually the boss mechanics on some of the maps when you have to kill the spires. I for one enjoy these maps. The almost 1 shots are avoidable as the AoE puts an area down first and give you around 2 seconds to move out of it. So if you’re getting hit by it you’re not paying attention. I know ARPGs are probably the easiest games on the market but you can’t remove ALL the difficulty from them! Performance: aye, I sometimes get poor frame rates on my Poison Warlock. On the whole it has good performance, it just needs a little tweak imho. Arena rework: if you’re CoF then it’s quite good as you get quests to go in there and kill the bosses and you get extra rewards. Just because it gives the worst item rewards doesn’t make it bad content. Some part of the game has to give the worst items, that’s logic but getting all the mobs to run to you so that can 1 shot them seems like you want to sit there and hold down one button whilst not moving and call that gameplay? I’m sorry but this makes you look like a very lazy gamer that wants as much reward as possible for next to zero challenge!!! 😢 UI and character stats: aye, they need a bit of a rework. I’m playing on a Samsung Odessa monitor which is ultra wide and it’s such a pain to look at minion icons that are on the top left of the screen. I’ve got to physically turn my head each time I need to check the number of them that are active on my Necromancer. Having them more central would be a lot more reasonable imho. It’ll also be good if the item tool tips didn’t appear part off screen and the ability tool tips would display information like you suggest.

[@Jovlin]

Can anyone tell me what rogue setup that is @1:10 please and thank you!

[@machetegaming]

It's a Bladedancer build using Lightning Chakrams. I used this build as a base: www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/lightning-chakram-bladedancer

[@BearsDenOneinVain]

I'm sure the devs will see this and bring it to their next meeting. GJ. I love LE.

[@jonlock621]

End game also needs improvement, monoliths get way too repeitive with poor loot and corruption takes forever to go up.

[@briankramer8737]

T4 lightless arbor is beyond over tuned. The time between animations starting and one shot worth of damage being received is way to sudden. There isn’t enough time for the invulnerability node from shift to trigger if the random circle decides to show up right on top of you. You want to have a boss fight like that fine I’m cool with that. Don’t lock uniques behind the boss then that can only be obtained from t4.

[@Monox1de7]

All pretty solid issues to bring up, My biggest gripe is picking up shards and the game just freezes picking them pieces of shits up its a CORE mechanic of the game sadly and its really the only fps issue i have.

[@machetegaming]

With shards it's actually the notification on top left of the screen that makes your game drop fps. I tried in offline mode a mod that allows you to disable notifications on picking up shards (plus you can actually auto-pick them) and it solved the fps issues with shards lol

[@Veilamia]

@@machetegaming how do you auto pick up shards?

[@Monox1de7]

@machetegaming that's cool. I imagine they will implement something down the road and get a lot of the issues sorted out I know they've address the menu issues already and are looking into it

[@xavier9319]

This is a great video! I also love this game, not many games hold me past a week or two now days and I’m on month 2

[@theslay66]

Annoying for sure. But most are just bugs that will be fixed. As for a more detailled character sheet, the devs said they're working on it (the top part is already different from what we had during the beta). Where I completely agree with you, and I say that as a player who have poured more tan 1300 hours in this game : Out-of-screen damage has to go. It's a terrible annoyance. The most baffling decision from the devs, in my opinion, is to have introduced those damn giant flowers when they reworked the first acts of the game. It's an horrible experience for a new player. You're discovering the game, need to check this and that, you're checking everything on the ground, you need time to understand what's going on, but no you have those damn flowers pounding you from who-know-where retlentlessly forcing you to move. That's really not a good way to ease new players into the game. If it was a core feature of the game it'd be ok, but no you won't encounter again such nuisance before reaching monos. It's just absurd.

[@parabolgravity]

there is much to love about that game, and i had a blast with the skill and passive trees, but i ultimately uninstalled after getting punished by monolith bosses due to latency/performance/scaling issues. I refuse to play a meta/gimmicky/or broken builds to clear content. I think the endgame leaves much to be desired, and I grew weary of accountwide poverty with COF. I'll give it some more time, I think it LE will get there one day.

[@theslay66]

You don't have to play any meta build in this game. Most builds can tackle corruption 200 monos and T4 bosses, as long as it exploits some kind of synergy in your class or gear, and that's all you need. Yes there are builds that push into the thousands corruption, but they are overperforming builds that are doomed to be nerfed sooner or later, and absolutely not a prerequisite to reach end-game. Sadly, those build tend to skew the expectations of the players.

[@parabolgravity]

@@theslay66 that has not been my experience in the 200+ hours of play. maybe in offline mode.

[@Nimoot]

Actually .... just the LAG in the game honestly ... going from 140>20 fps when I'm fighting a lot of mobs ... ridiculous.

[@evanescence463]

If the ward mechanic disappeared, I would be most grateful.

[@DanielgunKim]

To be honest, I think Arenas should be removed from the Monoliths. It’s inefficient. In addition, my paladin keeps glitching where he is unable to move after using lunge-like he’s stuck. I also wish you could move up in your guild levels faster!! I put 123 hours into this game and I’m still lvl 8 in my guild lol.

[@Chiminican]

Last epoch is on life support.

[@HansPeter-qh7kl]

Remove one shot mechanics from trash mobs. They are "trash" for a reason. Its not very rewarding when you get max resistance,tons of health and armor and then some Random Trash Mobs slaps you accross the screen.....your corpse that is. Thats also one of the reasons why Ward is so strong right now. I mean you can be happy when you reach2k health and you still get one shot. 8000 Ward aint getting one shot by trash mobs.

[@machetegaming]

Agree. Balancing ward and health capabilities would be really nice!

[@mikahasegawa1722]

So true!

[@onyxcitadel9759]

There's many things to improve.. If LE wants to compete with games like D4.. [ 1 ] i would like to see a much smoother/seamlesss and supported multiplayer experience (If they plan to get on console it's a major thing).. Trading between friends is covered by essentially what i call tokens (golden/obsidian resonances).. but AFAIK you can't trade/gift to friends who are in differing factions.. The UI and nowhere else indicates this that i have found.. Multiplayer experience is the least covered topic on socials from what i can gather.....[ 2 ] CAN"T RES your friends.. WHY?... [ 3 ] the end game transition needs better gradual easing into imo. I finish campaign and say then what?.. And get dumped into figuring out what Circle of fortune prophesies are.. what are dungeons?.. what are blessings?.. how do i get them?.. how to empower Monoliths.. what is the eternal cache?.. what's the difference between all these dungeons (benefits)? We are talking multiple fairly large systems to dump a newbie into just trying to figure out more of the game.. it's a terrible transition... [ 4 ] I wouldn't mind the character sheet including a summary of what my idols provide... [ 5 ].. better in game UI tools.. maybe a lexicon or legend of all the buff and debuff icon symbols.. [ 6 ] if LE wants to innovate where PoE and D4 have not.. maybe put an in game database / codex.. of all the items in game.. and they are shadowed out.. until u unlock them.. then u can enjoy the collecting aspect of the loot grind and get a gauge on what items you might possibly want or are missing to hunt for.. etc. [ 7 ].. FINALLY A MARK FOR JUNK feature so i can know which items i pick up that i plan to shatter or simply sell... (Diablo 4 has it right for this).. AND LOCK/favourite items too (don't want accidental loss of good items)... i can probably name more..but those are some of the more important to me.

[@theslay66]

A mark for junk is'nt really that necessary (well it wouldn't hurt so i'm not against it). It's a waste of time to pick-up junk in the first place, you should just filter them out instead. Those 100 gold pieces you would get for selling some random item you can pick up directly from the ground by killing stuff instead. As for things you would want to mark for shattering... well as the game advances you generally only pick up stuff with specific affixes (mostly the rarest ones like class affixes), and if you have take the time to mark them as junk... might as well shatter them right there and then.

[@onyxcitadel9759]

@@theslay66 Thx 4 the reply. I suppose I am not as deep into the game as others are.. I do have a loot filter setup.. i don't believe it is as restrictive as I possibly want it to be yet. Good insight =)

started playing after exiting D4 S3 mess. Find LE pretty boring now 80s monoliths. just samething over and over again now. Lots of bugs on my first character going invisible
