Monolith of Fate

  • Restored The Rotting Hoard’s boss arena to its original size so that the Emperor of Corpses’ Soul Bomb attack can be avoided properly. Additionally, the damage of Soul Bomb has been increased back to the very painful amount it used to be.
  • Fixed a bug where leaving a completed monolith echo via a town portal created before completion would grant rewards without applying the modifier from that echo. It now applies the modifier as well.
  • Fixed an issue in Fallen Harbour echoes where one spire could spawn slightly out of bounds, making it unreachable for some builds.
  • Fixed an issue in Boreal Forest echoes where two spires could spawn right next to each other which looked and felt weird.
  • Fixed the ...

Fiery Dragon Shoes are a double reference to two different items in different games. Can you tell which?

So this confuses me. Is the chart in the post correct or do all tags buff all parts of Tempest Strike?

The chart is correct.

The skill or sub-skill get all the stats, regardless of if they can use them or not. Then when the skill actually applies its damage, only the relevant stats are used.

So for example if you have the stat +500% chance to ignite and you use lightning blast, even though it doesn't do any fire damage itself, it still needs to have the fire damage so the ignite can scale properly. So all stats are just passed along at every step, even if they can't use them.

Attributes are the exception to this as they apply directly to the first still in the chain and indirectly to the rest. When you use the ability yourself, that first ability gets the stats it should from attributes. Then those stats that it gained get passed along down the chain as normal stats. This means that if a sub skill has different attribute scaling than the parent skill, the parent skill attribute scaling applies instead. We have tried to make this conflict never happen by makin...

Will any form of multiplayer be limited to the official servers? So mods would only work offline single player like Diablo 2 Resurrected, or would there be any way to play mods with friends? Such as LAN, TCP I/P, custom servers?

Much appreciated.

We have no plan to add LAN or TCP/IP support or release our server code. Currently the only way to play online will be with the official servers.

It's possible that this could change in the future but very unlikely to be any time soon.

i've actually been uncertain about the difference between +cold damage and +bow cold damage, almost implies that +cold damage doesn't apply to bows.

Well, "+cold damage" doesn't exist so that's the biggest difference.

All flat added damage requires a damage type. The options for this are bow, melee, spell and throwing.

"Increased cold damage" applies to all sources of cold damage.

"Increased cold bow damage" applies to all sources of bow cold damage.

I would settle for seeing just the overkill damage that was dealt as a way of better understanding what has happened. Few bosses have given me headache before for I did not know if I died to just bad luck or something that will definitely one shot me. Just to know what to prepare for.

We have very thoroughly explored the possibility of more detailed death recaps. What we have is the best we can do.

Hi Ekler,

I am part of the quality assurance department at Eleventh Hour Games. I am sorry for your negative experience, and I completely understand your frustration. I play in multiplayer with a co-worker almost every day and I too run into bugs. I am not kidding when I say even when I play casually off the clock I am still navigating the game with the intent to find ways that we can improve user experience.

I want you to know that I take my job very seriously, along with every other Last Epoch QA. We love the game as much as everyone else here and want to provide the best experience for players (including ourselves when we play casually).

That all being said, the problems are you are encountering cannot be understated for their complexity and manpower terms of addressing. Rubberbanding is one of those examples. Rubberbanding is a server/client issue that we are actively investigating and attempting to resolve, and we appreciate your continued patience as we wo...

Hey Perry,

I also argued for Rive to get a void tag in the tree when taking the void focused node as well internally haha. From what I recall, we are looking in the future to possibility make a unique or item that gives it the tag. We liked the theme but didn’t think it needed to be offered the skill tree.

In most cases we try to give conversion tags to nodes that case add or convert base damage of skills. There are some outliers in skill trees that we felt were “transformative” nodes that should offer a tag as well.

Fenton seems to have a very wide aggro range and runs faster than the other wolves. He's a reference to a classic video: https://imgur.com/a/N3aUOHx

Jesus christ, Fenton!

Yup, this is the only special name minion that has unique AI.

And we are back to that frequent cadence now as will be seen this summer.

We can probably turn it off for this conversion, I think that would make sense.

It’s not that auto-aim adjustments isn’t a high prio, it’s more that it needs careful tuning and testing to get right. This would take time. We could add auto-aim toggle for abilities in the future but from a design perspective it’s not a healthy approach because it would just push back design development and urgency for a UX pass of the feature.

You can go back to the starter zones.

Have you friend make a new character, portal to them at the start.

I'm going to remove this because someone might believe the mistake about the release schedule. Please feel free to re-post your critique without those mistakes.
