Last Epoch Dev Tracker

Lots of work going into this.

To be specific we’re looking at untangling objects loading in some non-necessary additional objects and converting them to addressables, finding instances where some enemies have been implemented incorrectly and have too many skinned mesh renderers, optimizing server instances - we actually had a build error happening that was caught this week that had manifested some performance loss on live, finding some instances of visual effect objects that were using too many… we’ll just say “objects” in general, some animated characters having too many ”bones”, the list goes on.

Hopefully that shows you that we truly are working hard to continue improving performance. We’re still paying the tech debt of starting from a small team of ARPG obsessed players who met through Reddit and didn’t know game dev as well as many teams - but now have lots of extremely talented developers and engineers on the project. You should have seen the sheer terror an...

My guess is that some passive has a typo in the code and it's giving the wrong stat somewhere.

We actually just hired in a new animation lead to the team and they’re actively auditing all animations, starting with player animations.

They’re brand new to the team so we may not see much of this work at Season 2 launch but it’s definitely coming

Haha I think you’ll be pleased with season 2.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. 1.2 (season 2) will bring some freshness to Monolith too!

Very cool suggestion and one I agree with. If it happens we'll have to attribute the new format to u/lifemarket! Glad you're enjoying the game

I would have to agree that this is top tier content.

This is good, honest feedback that I genuinely appreciate. Im curious if you can think of something that would make it more entertaining to watch for you?

Hello travelers! Coming at you with a fun ARPG discussion topic today.

In general, ARPGs are attractive games for streamers by nature of the core systems you find in them. But what makes YOU want to watch ARPG streamers?

• Build theory, build crafting and build advice?
• Watching them do high risk/reward RNG item crafting?
• Competing on leaderboards and events?
• Trading valuable items?
• Uber content?
• Hardcore death mode?

What else? What are your favorite watchable moments?

What would you love to have implemented in LE that would make watching your favorite players even more enjoyable?

P.S. the team is hard at work on Season 2 and look forward to sharing more information about the great new updates coming.

Depending on the details, that's either just what we have now with increased complexity and reduced visibility. Or it sets up a situation where you can actually kill a boss faster by doing less damage. Both are things we want to avoid.

I do agree with the implication that it is "feel" issue. Almost all of the negative feedback I've read on the system hinges on a misconception.

I agree, the information required to do that was not being tracked.

The stash layout has some automatic corruption recovery methods that are probably running to fix some error in the layout save. One of the top level folders probably has a mistake in it. That or it's hitting a false positive.

I’ll bring it up with the team and make sure it’s addressed for the upcoming patch

While this is not the case, it is a common enough misconception that we are addressing the issue. We are always working to improve balance and reign in the significant outliers in both directions.

The shield has the exact opposite effect that you perceive it to have so we are removing it from the vast majority of places that it exists and reserving it for just the biggest fights where low power builds need the most help.

We've had issues with certain ISPs in the past. I haven't heard of good or bad things relating to starlink.

I know it's not a solution but if you want to see what a character has equipped, you can use the last epoch tools website instead of switching characters in game.

Nothing, pure technical.

I don't want to give the impression that this is an imminent feature. It is currently not something that we are able to do.
