WARD CHANGES, TRANSMOG SYSTEM, VAMPIRES AND MORE! | DEV STREAM RE-CAP | LAST EPOCH

[@BloodSynthetic]

Pvp in arpgs never worked well , its very difficult to make balances

[@TonyBingGaming]

Yeah I hope they don't bother with it.

[@RhebelGaming]

It was a long time ago so i can't remember how balanced it was (even though i thought it was), but the pvp in Diablo 2 was great imo. Fondly remember pvping in Hardcore outside the town of act 1.

[@hafirenggayuda]

PvP Arpg work if the builds are very limited, like Diablo2 and Souls series (regardless the meta). In POE, Last Epoch, and others who focus on PvE and allowed to have broken builds, it's hard to be implemented

[@thehubbleton]

This is probably the best LE video I've seen yet.

[@PerrythePig]

love this. thanks for the recap

[@casediedwell5094]

7:22 GREAT Answer!

[@TonyBingGaming]

To the point 😂

[@RhebelGaming]

What "worries" me is that they need to make the dev team much bigger as i dont think they have the manpower/capacity to get enough content out fast enough. Loving the game though.

[@nijr3731]

As you have kindly asked us to watch the whole video I will :) very different and kind approach compared to those who ask you to sub and like before seeing the video lol. Great helpful vid too!

[@TonyBingGaming]

Appreciate it :)

[@reggy1124]

Great interview! The audio need some balancing though - Mike is significantly softer when he speaks.

[@ronskey]

Thanks for the updates! Can we ever expect a specialization reroll down the line? Feels a little punishing not being able to have that option ever.

[@TonyBingGaming]

No problem and I highly doubt it as its one of the only permanent choices you make.

[@aarone1729]

5:30 T1 = xlvl item, T2 = xlvl item or 2 items of previous tier, T3 = xlvl 2 itmes of previous tier 3 items of tier 1 quality, etc etc etc. Craft more leggos in one go, imo.

[@DS-nv2ni]

Why they don't cap the corruption then? What's the point of saying "350 is a successful build", if raising to 700 doubles the rarity? If they nerf ward, or the builds in any form, to don't raise corruption, is just a design mistake. Should cap the corruption, or buff the other defences so that these become viable again.

[@Asmodeius]

im running endurance build and at 200 corruption, it works but a bit more and will give up few levels higher.

[@pheade1254]

Mike is playing with hacks. He stood still for like 40 seconds and got hit by a Wengari Spire only once.

[@beckyp867]

Thank you for this Mr Bing, but fyi your mic sounded very loud and cracking. The dev sounded perfect.

[@TonyBingGaming]

Oh poop. Will look into it!

[@pietervanderzwaan4295]

Aside from this all, i believe the epoch itself is corrupted as it sents the player always too late and the remains of the emperor well he should have been shielded by the shard yet wasnt by my guess orobyss was already toying with the epoch and your timeline well before the divine era.

[@ex0stasis72]

I'm still waiting to play more until they fix controller play for more of the UI and for ranged gameplay.

[@lozzar1069]

Im guessing 1k up corruption shpuld be a team thing rather than a solo build

[@TonyBingGaming]

As rewards are higher than kinda forces people to play multi. I'd rather difficulty scales per player as well so limit is same for solo or multi.

[@Nimoot]

@@TonyBingGaming And yet their Easter Egg they just said 'works on live' ... requires more than one person online... They can't have it both ways.

[@WhatIfTheories]

Dev says 350 corruption is a successful build the community says that is a failed build cause it can't push. Anything under 1,000 corruption is just low. So there is a detachment here. I'd love to scale up too 1k corruption faster it's not hard to get up there just the time sink. Now if the Devs make 500 corruption actually hard and top end then 350 corruption might some day be successful until then...it's just not.

[@TonyBingGaming]

I actually agree with him. Prior to launch and full time streamers coming in people were more than happy with 200 to 300 corruption and would class this as a good build. He mentions it in stream but almost every single build that can hit 1000 has one aspect of it that is massively overperforming. It also kills build build diversity when people expect builds to hit 1000 corruption so personally I am happy to hit 300 and that is my personal recommendation for anyone that isn't a streamer and playing it as a job.

[@DanielgunKim]

I’m at around 400 corruption and I don’t see why my build has failed because I didn’t hit 1000+ corruption. I agree that it takes long to build corruption but I think seeing how something fails or succeeds as a build is very subjective depending on your standards. You can’t complain or tell the devs they are wrong about what they think is good for a build.

[@punani_slayer4209]

You need to get a life man your comment was just sad to read

[@matthewslade6694]

People are also pushing corruption exceedingly high manipulating a single mechanic in certain classes. So the 1000 corruption pushing is kind of cycle specific

[@crispinroberts4449]

Ward used to be busted long ago then was nerfed to absolutely useless territory for quite a long time. During that time 300c was considered good. Now ward has returned to a broken state in many builds. In addition to that some of the new skills need to be balanced due to excessively high damage output. Still I suspect you won’t find too many non ward builds pushing 1000c. I do hope they bring ward in line this time without making it garbage again. It’s a cool mechanic, but easily abused right now. My biggest worry is what affect it will have on the player base when they balance these things and people go from 1000 to 500 overnight.

[@Dabubabyboi]

The way they speal on the game and progression/end game makes me feel like this will go the same way diablo 4 went. And that scares/ makes me sad 😂😂😂

[@HansPeter-qh7kl]

I still believe the Immortal Emperor is one of our other selfes. I mean everyone following him worked with us before. None of them is actually connected with each other they only connect trough us. There is no other person all of our "friends" know at the same point in time and have a reason to follow that person except us. And just like the Emperor we also fought the gods however we took a different path or we didnt take his path yet. Another indicator for that is the fact that Yulia asked where the Lance is when we confronted the Emperor however we never told her or showed her that we have it so she knew that we at least in some point in time did aquire it because we did in the past and she was with us. However we did not do that yet so she has memorys of traveling with us which means there is another version of us currently around in the same point in time. And given all of our friends follow the Emperor the chances are very high he is us. So yes i believe the Emperor is another version of us.

[@TonyBingGaming]

Great breakdown. Think there is a very high chance of this!

[@monknotmonknot4053]

What about The Shade of Orobyss? Think that might be our past "evil self"?

[@HansPeter-qh7kl]

@@monknotmonknot4053 Unlikely because he and Eterra were there before anything was there. In fact when we enter Eterras temple we hear him speak and even confuse us ith Eterra. Maybe he believed its her because we had the Epoch ? Maybe we are a direct decendant of her ? Her reincarnation ? I doupt we are him otherwise he wouldnt confuse us with Eterra even if just for a short time.

[@nergal2741]

the lance is actually the reason we CAN'T be the Emperor, because it means her prior self knows we got the lance, so the Emperor should have the lance himself, which he doesn't

[@HansPeter-qh7kl]

@@nergal2741 He already used the Lance its a one shot bullet after all. You use it its gone. The Emperor only ever was after Rahyeh and his powers and he high likely used the Lance against Rahyeh which means his one bullet is gone. So Maybe Yulias hope was we already got the Lance but didnt use it against Rahyeh yet.

[@Thowzand_]

They need to hurry with the updates

[@cc66bb44]

ward goes burr? how about you make other defenses just as strong that's the fix. hire me as a dev

[@ItoKun2]

This guy from Dev streams gives so many promises but at the same time the second cycle doesn't even announced

[@alejo_mendez_editor]

It would be better not to rush them. After all, if they launch a cycle with problems, people like you are the same ones who will be criticizing and complaining again.

[@Sevrmark]

If you listen closely, you will find that he promises almost nothing. It's also too early to announce the second cycle. It's probably 2+ months away.

[@PJ-zy4wo]

Leave Ward alone buff the other stuff if you start nerfing shit this will turn into diablo.

[@LakerTriangle]

Sadly he has to rehash the same Q&A every week since people don't watch live or vidz like this.

[@Nimoot]

The modding community has to 'solve' these things since the Devs clearly don't have the time/care to... it's disappointing.

[@rbkskillz]

No. Dont bother with pvp. You cant make pvp work when damage numbers are in the millions and hp in the 1000s

[@jasonbonadio8870]

D4 did a 90% DMG reduction for PVP, not a bad idea when you add other defenses. Or you take the motto, PVP isn't gonna be balanced so enjoy.

[@Nimoot]

I asked if I could use an Arachnophobia Mod to deal with my phobia ... and didn't get an answer ... really frustrating... Also my Wraithlord's AI is all sorts of buggy ... someone else asked if they could fix his AI ... his response was literally "Show us how it's buggy because we think it's fine" ... He will SKATE around the screen 2-5 times before settling next to me and then stand there for 10-20 seconds until I Teleport/Warp him with me which resets the buggy behavior... Really wish Mike took our questions more seriously.

[@waku816]

What successful? So many of the casual players already quit the game, including myself and my friends. The game is not worth keeping on playing after reaching 300c and realising that you only get 0 or 1lp over and over, when most of those " fun" or ward builds need certainties item that is at least 2lp and only drop from boss, no causal wants to grind the boss few hundreds times and still only get 0 or 1 lp! And then get to a maze dungeon to slam and failed! That is no grind, is a chores more or less, and whenever players complain about the drop rate, those fans will only tell you go to merchant guild, so the game is no fun without p2w or what.All in all LE is a very unrewarding game to grind.

where is the information about shaman?

There's not. The title or thumbnail doesn't mention this at all.

Switching characters gender is such an overly time consuming and and expensive process. Who gives a fuck, sending the time and money on more content and other features is way more important. Trying to please the weirdos who have to play as a specific gender is so dumb.

[@Nimoot]

Oh honey... you sound so sexist right now... I don't want to stare at a girl all day ... I'd even be happy with a model switch and just disable sound files for rambling from story stuff... just keep the 'normal banter' in there... You must be the kind of person who would find Arachnophobia stupid and "You should just grow up you baby!" ... I think people who attempt to speak their mind and come off as a bigot are so dumb. 🙂

[@KingRichStayFit]

Just cap corruption at like 500 ffs

[@TonyBingGaming]

Cap is bad as well and they cover it in video. Essentially makes a point where people should stop playing.

[@briankramer8737]

Optimization when ??????? I could care less about class and corruption changes. I just wish they’d focus their time on getting the game to run smoothly. Please for the love of god get the game off the shitty potato they call an engine base.

[@Wudanmaster116]

no release date at all?

[@TonyBingGaming]

For 1.1? If so they've said 3 to 4 months from 1.0.

this game dropped off hard man its down to less than 20k players a day it is currently at 9k players what happend to this game. I know the end game is extreamly boring but dang. it is a good game

its because PoE 3.24 dropped a couple weeks ago. It's normal for any ARPG retention when PoE drops a new league
