Last Epoch Dev Tracker

When an item is obtained with an item faction's bonus (CoF drops or MG Bazaar) that item is given the corresponding Item Faction Rank Requirement, e.g. Requires CoF Rank 2. Think of this as an alternate level requirement. This requirement can't be changed or removed by any means. If an item drops while you are representing the CoF, that item will have a CoF rank requirement from 1-5. Nothing can remove or change that. You can only sell items at the bazaar that don't have any faction rank requirements.

Please check out the FAQ at the bottom of the initial announcement post. It is extremely extensive and the vast majority of the questions that get asked are answered there. Also, everything I said above is there too.

To clarify, at higher ranks of MG you will be able to trade uniques with LP. In the example, the ability to trade uniques without LP is unlocked at Rank 4 specifically.

This is the way I think about it. Gear can have certain requirements, one of those things is a level requirement. Another is a faction rank requirement. Gear obtained by using a faction bonus, CoF drops or MG Bazaar, has a faction rank requirement. Gear without a faction rank requirement doesn't requirement a specific faction to use.

Thank you very much :)

And shift+F to bring up the loot filter builder ;)

The last 3 masteries for a start.

Lots of replies in here but I just wanted to slide a dev perspective in too. Hi, I'm one of the senior developers.

First off, I noticed that you mentioned D2 as a game that doesn't need loot filters, I would strongly recommend that it needs them more than most as it has a maximum number of items that it can simultaneously display. Many common farming areas generate way too many items and it can hide mega rare drops. For example, pit level 2, one of the best places to farm early ladder. Or even just Chaos Sanctuary. This is slightly mitigated with some D2R changes though. There are some amazing D2 mods that add loot filters that are a godsend.

Anyways, tangent aside with Last Epoch, we strive to create an environment where people can experiment and create whatever builds they want. When a community build arises that we never considered possible, it's really awesome for us. In order to do this, we need to create a large number of options that can generate in most comb...

This is such a cool device. I've seen it in action at some trade shows and I love that they have created it. Big fan.

more like holy...grail...javelin

Alpine Halls has been changed to be more connected and feature higher enemy density in the corridor sections.

All I’ll say is that Last Epoch is a live service game centered around time travel with many years of future developments ahead of us. We’re not tapped out of content ideas at 0.9!

While the definition of build enabling can be a little blurry, we do strive to maintain accessibility to those unique for players who don't have a massive daily playtime available to them. With the legendary system, there is a lot of room between the base and max versions of the uniques in the game so you will probably find yourself hunting a better one even if you've found a basic version. This lets us keep the base versions generally pretty accessible too.

But, I'm sure someone will come up with a bonkers build that requires an item we never intended and we will need to do something about that. Lots of options there, from making a new starter version to changing the drop chance to adjusting interactions to make it work other ways too and more.

I am confident that we can maintain this methodology but only time will tell.

Hi there and welcome to Epoch. First off, I think it sucks that you're getting downvoted for voicing an opinion. I kinda wish we just had upvotes sometimes because while people might not agree, this post has lots of good stuff.

Anyways, I've been talking to a lot of PoE players since the release of this post and it's been very interesting to me from a designer standpoint. While I'm not the person who came up with this idea, I was one of the main cooks in the kitchen for the refining process. I find it really interesting that most of the PoE launchpad posts use SSF and CoF almost interchangeably. I'd like to emphasize that we hope that CoF will be just as multiplayer friendly as MG. Yes solo players will be CoF but non solo players can be CoF too. I really think this is going to just hit the exact notes you're looking for. Finding those couple build enabling uniques is something CoF is going to be great at.

I know we didn't go into details on what all the rank reward...

That's gross, I love it.

The dot doesn't care where you are at all. It will finish its job.

You'll be able to access CoF offline.

I don't think mage will have a classic pet mastery.

Yes ironically, it's not getting removed.

That wasn't for 0.9

The runemaster description is very outdated and will be different upon release.
