Hi Guys,

I'm loving Last Epoch so far I have around 35 hours into the game and am excited to try out everything there is at the moment. I've played Lich, Paladin and Druid so far. Here are some of my observations about things that would be helpful:

1) There is no icon or display to track temporary buffs, especially the ones granted by the skill nodes. For example, Swipe gets a stacking damage buff but there's no way to track it? Would be nice if there was a timer with an icon displayed for each such mechanic. Eg: Swipe stacks, Boneshield from Transplant, Paladin's Riposte mechanic etc.

2) An easier way to bind skills to left click and right click (the way PoE does it) would greatly enhance playability for me, and I'm sure other players.

3) A way to link items in chat

4) Seemingly, you get disconnected from chat at random and cannot rejoin without completely exiting the game and restarting. Leave Chat/Join Chat does not fix this problem.

5) Right now when you have the stash open, then click on Shop, nothing happens. Similarly, when you are in the Shop and click your stash, nothing happens. It would be nice if the UI would switch between the two seamlessly. I've vendored a few items by mistake when I was starting out.

6) Utility potions! The maps in this game are very large and the player move speed is very slow. If there was some utility potion available, similar to Quicksilver Flasks in PoE it would reduce the headache of traversing long distances somewhat. There could be other interesting effects to be explored with utility flasks. This is something PoE does really well.

7) XP tracker for Skill level ups - Is this something that can be considered? It is a nice QoL for when you are respeccing your skills, helps plan your upgrades.

That's it from me for now. I understand not all of these are possible, but atleast the buff timer and UI fixes would go a long way to improving the game, for me!

Heyo,

Thanks for the feedback!

There is no icon or display to track temporary buffs

There are for some; posting specific effects which lack buff icons on our forum would help us to tackle this more quickly.

An easier way to bind skills to left click and right click

Our most recent content patch, Patch 0.7.6, expanded the options available. We're probably going to see how this plays out for a bit longer before making further changes, but this is a topic we've been discussing (and working on) recently.

A way to link items in chat

I don't think anyone on the team is opposed to this; I could see it being something that is implemented in-or-around the time we include the community in multiplayer testing later this year.

Seemingly, you get disconnected from chat at random

Chat is, unfortunately, currently a bit unreliable at times.

We have been looking into it and periodically both fixing problems, and adding additional checks to improve our ability to troubleshoot issues.

Right now when you have the stash open, then click on Shop, nothing happens.

I'll speak with the team about this; it certainly doesn't strike me as being a design decision, but I'm a bit OOTL on this.

Utility potions!

We're likely going to limit this kind of thing to on-potion-use effects and Unique (and Set, and Legendary) item interactions with potions.

XP tracker for Skill level ups

This should already be available.

If you press S and look at that specific skill's tree, the XP bar should be in the top-left corner.
