Thanks for the feedback!

You can press escape to close all windows right now, and we will be implementing keybinding soon.

Regarding pace, as /u/Sartuk said, the rate of gaining skills, experience, and items is highly accelerated for the demo so that players can get a feel for the gameplay and character customization. The rate of progression will be slowed down drastically for the final game.

There are multiple difficulties, if the demo is to easy try a higher one!

Performance is something we are actively working on, and we have made some very significant performance improvements in the past couple patches. Performance issues aren't the fault of Unity, but because Unity is such an easy platform to develop on, a lot of poorly optimized games are made with Unity. We've also only recen...

If you do a crafting 101, you should add the info to the wiki page on crafting, that would be really helpful for new players! https://lastepoch.gamepedia.com/Crafting

Hey Solardragon, keep in mind that I'm not a Developer from this game so I might be off.

When do shattering stones start dropping?

Shattering stones start dropping really early on. I'm not sure they can drop from the first few skeletons, but they'll start appearing really, really soon, if they haven't already.

When do I start getting potions to use?

There's no physical potion drops, there's a small compartment in your health globe that indicates your current potion. It has 3 charges and is available as soon as you log in.

How do I update the demo? How do I know when the update for the demo is available?

I actually don't know. I assume we'll have to download the demo again when an update comes live. This is just an assumption though, I have no idea.

Correct! Here's a little added detail:

Shattering stones drop from lv6 enemies and above, but enemy level doesn't exactly correlate to character level, so "early on" is an accurate descriptor.

Correct on the potion. The flask gains charges as you kill enemies, so you don't have to look for potions. There will be some small tweaks to the potion in the next patch which improve how it scales later on in the game. Our design team is actively discussing the potion's place in our design long-term so you may see some changes in the future.

The demo does have to be redownloaded when we release a new patch, we announce new patches on the ...

I don't necessarily feel like brick chances are too high overall. Of course the little greedy me would like to craft items 100%, but I feel like it's very close to perfect the way it is now keeping the longevity of the game in mind. I would even argue that the base extra fracture chance on found items with good stats has a too low starting chance, making it completely redundant to even try crafting on a white base. I feel like finding a near perfect white base should be almost as promising to craft on as finding an item with 3 mods you want (keeping in mind having to find more shards to craft on a white base). Possibly reducing the initial fracture chance on a white item for the first 4-6 shards crafted on them, after this point the fracture chance feels fine as is.

The tome in OP was T3 cast speed, T4 cold damage, T3 movement speed and I think that's T3 mana when I originally found it. It never bricked and now has T5 on everything except the mana which I was too scared to...

We're setting up the crafting system so that it's easier to craft on an existing item rather than crafting from scratch. That way it's better to find an item close to what you want, and improve it. If it was easier to craft from a white item, it would be more optimal to shatter all the items you find with good stats rather than looking for items you want.

I was almost sure that this was the case, but the fractures on boots were absolutely ridiculous

That's mostly a factor of sample size, and what items you're crafting on. You were definitely a bit unlucky on those crafts, which is unfortunate, but with any system with randomness, it's bound to happen sometimes. Hope you have better luck crafting those boots going forwards!

But i got a helmet with skull 3D art. I think it had Void Damage and Ward retention.

Then there was a pair of gloves with a LOT of melee attack damage, % damage taken and life on kill.

I can't remember the third unique. But those two seemed extremely niche/specific. I wish they had more universal stats or at least a represented a broader build pool. (I'll agree that at least the gloves were OK, but then they need to be more common)

That helmet (Decayed Skull) was definitely a bit boring before, we've given it a bit more flavor in the next patch. Here's a sneak peek

That's a lot of crafting! :D

Solid feedback, we've definitely noticed the lack of good prefixes for armor and we have talked about moving added health to being a prefix.

Increased Movement Speed (even while crafted first, feels like an unreasonable brick rate)<

Different affixes don't have different fracture chances, do you think the fracture chance is too high overall?
