The bonus chest in between echoes (not the echo specific reward crystal) drop quantity is dependent on the number of enemies you kill in the echo. The bonus stability bar fills up the same way but is capped. So they are related but not dependent on each other.

It is generally assumed that most characters will have capped resistances and it is balanced as such. However, max res is not as important as it is in games like D2/PoE because in LE, enemies also get 75% all res penetration, applied after cap. This means that it's actually balanced around everyone having 0 res (after the pen is applied). This means that not having capped res is still impactful but nowhere near as impactful.

There is no ETA on multiplayer. We have to get it right and we don't want to put ourselves in the position where we have to announce a delay.

Agro systems are not changing for multiplayer.

Edit: They will continue to prioritize the nearest legal target for the ability they are going to use next. Minions will continue to artificially appear slightly farther away than they are. Even more for immobile minions. "Taunt" style abilities temporarily make the user appear closer than they really are.

I went over this in a little more detail on a stream a little while back but I couldn't tell you which one for a reference, sorry.

No. This is the reason you can skip the last part of the campaign and go to monos around level 50 (monos are level 58 if i remember correctly). Also mission after the tundra boss don't give idols slot and passive points

Actually there is. While in a zone more than 5 levels above your own, you gain xp as though you were in a zone 5 levels above you. So if you are level 40 in a level 50 zone, you gain xp as though it was a level 45 zone.

We've been told that gold is going to be the main trading currency. Does that make this the biggest troll move from Judd to Mike, or did Mike know all along that all 5 of these were true? Hmmm

Look at that smirk on my face. You think I didn't know?

You won't get banned for describing it by the way.

Saw a post earlier saying the further out you go the better shade drop rate. For instance instead of doing a shade after 6 echos do one after 18

Corruption is all that matters.

Andrew has some good advice there. An old bug that did something like this was solved by unplugging the active audio output device shortly before entering the echo. You can give that a shot if you'd like.

The launcher is not as awesome for stability and speed as Steam is. If you can, I would very strongly recommend connecting your account to steam through our website. Details Here. Or go directly to your account page here.

This is the one PoE focused thread I'm going to leave up. Overall you've been pretty great at keeping it nice so far, please keep it up.

It is not appropriate to just put down other games here. We believe that there is plenty of room for more than one awesome ARPG in the world and hope to see even more.

I appreciate the sentiment and if it's getting out of hand, please feel free to report the posts that you think are inappropriate. I think we are bound to get some comparisons, especially around a league launch.

Mike you're something else man, please never lose track of your passion! You all are gonna make LE into a hell of a game that's gonna give the big players PoE and Diablo a run for their money!

Aww, thanks bud :) it's still kinda surreal when I see Epoch come up in conversations about arpgs or in other subs too.

No problem, I'm technically at work right now so it was just luck I was able to watch the doc while you were editing. Thanks for the help!

Looks good!

You should have edit permissions now.

I got up to Items and crafting as you can see because you're approving the changes right away :D

I've gotta go make dinner though. I'll finish it up later.

Once you are logged in, you can unplug your internet completely and it will let you keep playing.

Why would you do class specific character design at all then? Make one male model, one female model, then let people do whichever class they want. Instantly cuts your animations, modeling and voice acting for player characters to less than half since they all share the same resources. It isn't like you can't streamline quest dialog so only npcs reference a character class either, and that very rarely. Every Diablo game managed it.

Wow that's an old thread. Still relevant though.

We want to have each class be a specific character. A lot of that character comes from a lot of different little things like idle animations. Having multiple genders for each class multiplies all the class specific things.

I know that having specific genders to play is important to some players and we do want to expand the options when we can. It's just not feasible to have them included at the initial launch.

Try closing all other programs and see if that affects it.

This is a weird one but I bet it will work, unplug your active audio output device just before entering the scene transition. So if you use a headset, unplug it slightly before going through.

If that doesn’t work, what are your system specs?
