[@ThePigKnight]

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.

[@panduhfight]

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.

[@d1vin1ty]

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.

[@Shazoo1997]

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.

[@AceHighAlbion]

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...

[@sni18per]

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.

[@davidperezgonzalez1839]

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.

[@diddykangable]

@@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

[@quanwashington]

​@@diddykangablethe fact that it feels attainable despite the rng makes it better than path of exile

[@diddykangable]

@@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.

[@bmpm844]

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

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.

[@graysaltine6035]

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.

[@ghostlightx9005]

Yep, me too. I am already 3000 hours into that "forever" and can't wait for the next 3000. Loving this game.

[@hotdog5927]

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

[@blackalistar3241]

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.

[@Pausenmacher]

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 )

[@MrRafagigapr]

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

[@JonMidori]

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.

[@robdielemans9189]

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.

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

[@ThePolarpop]

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.

[@inovade]

same here, but i remember they update the game so, what the heck, i'll just play. somehow they keep on my steam news and whaddaya know, chapter 1 had big change (i know i'm late, but whatever lol)

[@Venemoth123]

Yeah the game is currently the best in genre but they really need to speed up with the end game development.

[@mynizzle12345]

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.

[@Psycorde]

lol, right?

[@ThePolarpop]

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

[@AlexLuthore]

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.

[@SYN_Beezt]

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!

[@dealbreakerc]

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).

[@Zogun_85]

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

[@just_a_turtle_chad]

Anything is better than Diablo 4

[@yzwme586]

i sadly agree. Blizzard is dead.

[@mcgmgc]

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.

[@immatoll4375]

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.

[@MxJavice]

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.

[@ryanbrothers5377]

Totally agree 100%!

[@graysaltine6035]

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...

[@MxJavice]

@@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.

[@QastletheKing]

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.

[@Zambussy13]

Last Epoch is so damn fun. Can’t wait for end game. Currently playing a Necro minions build

[@watercra]

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.

[@tinfoilpapercut3547]

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.

[@dashippo5896]

I loved playing it tbh. I'm excited to go ham once it official launches.

[@UncleJay69]

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

[@poepplays4489]

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.

[@andrewcobb3919]

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

[@thisGuy481]

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.

[@Kromzor]

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.

[@animeangeis]

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

[@JoeBell3]

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.

[@SennaSpiaca]

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)

[@Aetheric]

Last epoch was a really fun time, such a nice experience after only having diablo and poe for such a long time. pleasantly surprised to have a new campaign and classes to play through along with new class changing items

[@kenomenorias3200]

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

[@guardian0740]

Did almost that much in my first 2 weeks also, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

[@MathieuPilot]

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

[@NuclearWinter69]

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.

[@lautarotrefilio4773]

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

[@dougfax]

Never looked in any build guide either and all the classes I made was super fun to play

[@EricSp33r]

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

[@CubanBeastt]

and the you have Dungeons with unique mechanics and unique rewards at the end for all 3. Great game!

[@kaoseffekt]

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.

[@misterlobsterman]

[@seabasswallyworld]

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).

[@dontgetsore]

As a long-time Diablo fan, Last Epoch is light-years better than D4.

[@xalderin3838]

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. ❤️

[@user-xq3ho2bz4l]

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.

[@MrPrankmastergeneral]

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.

[@anthonyweston5588]

So glad I backed these guys a few years ago. They seemed like nice devs with a lot of passion, and while it was a bit "samey" when the beta first came out I understand it was just to get the mechanics polished and smooth.

[@Urine666Deity]

Exactly, last epoch made me feel ripped off by the other $70 mess

[@MEZNAY]

Just got my 9th character to endgame, because I keep finding build defining uniques when playing on different classes. One of my favorites so far is the dragons breath/song bow build.

[@sunderkeenin]

I greatly enjoyed Last Epoch a few years back, and considering it has just gotten better maybe I should go for another run lol. Mccool was right to recommend it back then. I picked it up in December of 2020 when I first saw a bunch of people hopping on it and it was great. I think the best part about Last Epoch is that you can just pick a non-utility/non-movement skill and just make a build out of it, and when you get into monos and you notice your build is subpar you can just respec and it's not particularly punishing to respec. 1.0 is going to be nice and there's no reason to rush in considering you plan to play it anyway. The game won't be worse if you wait to play it, and that's something I can't consistently say.

[@MehrdadParthian]

Target farming is a thing of the past... so is this game. that's why its good.

[@Grimaced5]

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.

[@kaoseffekt]

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

[@toddwilliams8128]

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 - 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.

I can’t wait for 1.0. It’s complicated or flashy aa PoE but it has it own fun. All the QoL and you can target farm most of the things for your build which gives goals unlike D4

[@gzenno]

i like last epoch did a build that didn't require a fancy item to make it work. in my travels found a fancy item and redid my build to a fancy item build. sometimes it gets difficult to figure out where the actual game wants you to go next to progress though. once I unlocked the random areas i did those a lot instead of the plot areas.

[@brandono4118]

Question for anyone who has played it already - I see talk of a cash shop in game, is it only cosmetics?

[@Ronteque]

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.

[@Stamps-cg3uu]

I've been wanting to pick this up for a couple years, I'm waiting for it to fully release.

[@Muphet]

black desert has search feature too, its nice ;)

[@Fighterfan69]

Last Epoch is pretty good for half the price of D4. What I love about it is that each skill has its own passive tree. It really is refreshing compared to other ARPGs. Lately, I've been going back and forth from POE to LE. It's that good.

[@sotired2789]

I'd love to play this. Hopefully I can build a PC soon

[@Handsx]

Make sure to change the screen shake option to “most abilities” for a more visceral experience

[@jasonpiazza9697]

started playing this recently, really enjoying the game!

[@natashagalaxy7228]

I've been playing Torchlight Infinite and I've been enjoying that, but Last Epoch has been on my radar, but wasn't to sure, but watching the Rax video. Im sold. It looks amazing

[@ericmorneau8819]

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.

6:10 "But" had me dying

[@Joris0815]

Wouldnt say best loot filters since you have to import files manually for them to work rather than just a menu

[@KonstantinTrufanov]

When I was playing it last time, around 1-2 years ago it doesnt have much content to play and gearing system is pretty simple. I wonder if they add something to do at the endgame.

[@Maximus213]

Last Epoch is amazing and easily addictive! I used to play it all the time between PoE seasons.

[@dejatwixt9214]

I already plan on buying this. I know I can play already but I would rather wait until the December launch; plus i still have other games I am playing right now but I will definitely be getting this at launch.

[@JohnSmith-vk9ds]

I remember trying Last Epoch a while ago after being intrigued by a few gameplay videos. From what I remember it was a huge grind just to level the character, and it was very difficult to keep equipment current with my level (leading to my toon feeling very squishy). This was just under a year ago but that was my experience. I tapped out after a couple of months on it.

[@AceHighAlbion]

Its because you need to remember to use your crafting to level your gear up. Crafting even thouhg very simple in LE, its still the best way to gear up early on!

[@guardian0740]

It's way different now, I have multiple levels 100s and it never felt like it was taking forever.

[@jcm2606]

LE's loot is very much designed with crafting in mind so if you weren't crafting then that's why. With enough crafting I actually find that gear progression is very front loaded to the point where I was taking items I crafted in the middle of the campaign into endgame, because they were that strong.

[@loopygordo]

I played like 4 mo ths ago and leveling was really smooth and fun honestly. Remebering to upgrade you gear keeps you going for 90% of the story.

[@mattm8870]

If you having bad luck with gear drops you meant to use the crafting system to upgrade/make items to fill the holes.

[@bastiwen]

I haven't played it in a while, last time I played was maybe one year ago when it was still in early access. What I can say is that I normally don't enjoy arpg that much, they're fun but that's it. Last Epoch was the first since Titan Quest to have me glued to my seat for hours on end

[@Nevict]

The Steam reviews I read about it said that they started messing it up recently, so I have been hesitant to try Last Epoch.

[@ChronoNaut1000]

played some Last Epoch a while ago. Loved it. Think ill boot it up again

[@dirtysink373]

of the big three arpgs, last epoch is the one I have the most fun with. 140 hours in and every single char has been a blast

[@RokenPL]

I hope that this game will get enough recognition that it will grow like PoE did, game devs did great job and Last Epoch deserves it!

[@malachijohnson3437]

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

[@tomkuzik4908]

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!! 😤🙌

[@RadianMeasure]

graphics are polished and animations are really smooth end game is a bit meh but so are most action rpg endgames story grinds to a halt and then map grinding sorta thing

[@inovade]

huh, i also replaying the game just yesterday it has major update from last year, but still beta. so far what i hate is how they respec skill level. i had to re-learn and wait for another "skill lv up" just to try some build. i hate that so much

[@kosciarz]

Great vidoe, tho on 10:25 I have this with Lies of P.

[@beasthunt]

Glad to see you have a Raxx video up. Raxx is awesome and his sub count should be much much higher.

[@Afura33]

I agree man have myself 120 hours into Last Epoch and it's awesome. Can't wait for the release and I hope they won't mess up the trade system cause I love trading.

[@AceHighAlbion]

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.

[@Fatkitty1]

last epoch is such a great game! Also the leveling process isn't boring imo
