My rant was more about some folks missing "good old days" of PoE and wanting LE to be just that - Their key to open up those glory days when PoE was actually fun.

FOR ME PoE is no longer a game I enjoy. I'm far more invested in D2R and upcoming D4 and LE

But that's the thing - In recent month, for obvious resons, we see a lot of PoE players in Diablo and LE forums demanding changes - In D2R it's about PoE endgame in LE it's about... well everything.

So my post was just that - A rant. Nothing more and tbh nothing serious as I trust in developers wanting their game to have it's own identity.

Just to be super clear, those requests are totally fine here. We will just evaluate the requests like normal.

PoE is a very polarizing topic. As a long time big player in the ARPG market, we realize that a large percentage of our audience plays PoE. Many of us on the development team play it too. When we evaluate a suggestion for our game, we don't give weight to if it's in PoE or not. We are no more or less likely to include an individual feature or mechanic if it is in PoE, with the exception of avoiding copying things too directly.

With all this in mind, I ask that we keep posts focused on Last Epoch. You are welcome to include PoE in the conversation too. This is not a request to stop talking about PoE. Just keep the main focus of a topic about Last Epoch.

As a general note I would also like to request that we refrain from debating if PoE is a good game or not if possible. Whether you enjoy a game or not is subjective and debating it can lead to not very constructive conversations.

Is this a CT multiplayer bug?

No plans for it at the moment.

To the (currently) 26 people who voted for mage minions. I have previously revealed on stream that it is not being designed as a minion mastery. Sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t agree with the premise that the game isn’t casual or new player friendly. I also don’t agree that the crafting system contributes to this. I think the crafting system is one of the strengths that helps make the game casual and new player friendly.

I feel like we might be going round in circles a bit. I’d like to set a few expectations that might help. T20s are not early gear. We expect to see people often entering empowering monos with T17-T19 gear in several slots on far from optimized builds. Well itemized T22s are very rare and are getting into that min/max range. Hoping to find T27+ gear will only lead to disappointment. Attempting to get appropriately stated T27+ gear will be an exercise in futility.

I fully hear you that you disagree with this and don’t like it. We are always looking to improve the item systems. We are currently pretty happy with the tier progression at the moment and it is unlikely to see significant change pre-1.0. I understand that the prospect of hypothetical T25+ gear existing puts pressure on some expectations for loot drops but we aren’t designing that gear to be the normal “finished character” gear range.

Does that mean regional prices for the in-game transactions are probably coming too? I'll probably get the game anyway since it looks great already, but it would be nice to be able to buy supporter packs every now and then.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure on that one. I don't think it's been decided really.

Wow, didn't expect you to answer so fast. Do you have any plans on the prices of mtx that you can share?

I kinda just have this open in the background as I do other stuff. We don't have anything that we can share on the matter yet. I'm really not sure if we've even done a pass on them like "oh that will be this category and will cost this much". Probably something like that has been done but I don't know the result of it.

Since mtx will come out in 0.9 (if I recall correctly from the streams) that means in-game store will also be out in 0.9?

That's the goal. It's in development now.

Comment

Good catch, was hoping nobody would notice before the fix got released. It is already solved.

Comment

No, there is no in game store at the moment and I'm fairly certain that the the website store doesn't have regional pricing.

Why are wings so popular? I've seen many games add wings to cosmetics but I have no clue why it gets so much attention. Is it purely for aesthetic reasons or does it add to a fantasy setting or something else? I personally see no point in having wings that do not enhance mobility. I'm curious to know the reason behind it.

I don't really have a good reason. Wings are cool?

Good find, we’re fixing that. It is old info. We aren’t doing the Bazaar any more.

In terms of this one, Judd gave the example of your "ooh spicy" clip as a filter option, was I just misinterpreting this?

Lots of us would really like to add it but there are some issues with it that unfortunately land it in the not currently planning category.

Edit: and thank you for adding the * links to the comment.

Thank you for compiling this list, it's really helpful for people looking to get the updates and not having 5 hours to watch it all.

We sometimes get things not quite right when doing it live so we do have a couple little corrections and expansions that I'd like to add on if possible.


Hired company called Buddha Jones to make 1.0 release trailer for game; working on CGI cutscenes, staffing marketing, social marketing etc.

Just a slight correction here, needs to be 2.5D cutscenes and potential CGI teaser trailer.


No plans for cosmetic wings, but probably will show up in the far future but subdued

We don't want to emphasize wings as much as other options for the back slot but do plan to have some wing or wing link options.


Do want custom sounds for filter (contradicts previous answers on dev stream?)

We're not curren...
