I’ll leave any points about appearance to the art team, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that we’re suddenly not updating the other character class models just because they’re not included in this post. We still plan to update the other character models for 0.8.4.

Save files are stored locally on your system still. The files may have become corrupted in some way causing it to not load properly.

All global data such as stash and crafting materials are stored in a single file.

Each character has their own file.

I don’t have the exact path on hand but it should be on our support site if you look for file locations.

If you’re using Steam cloud saves, it’s possible that they have a backup or that it was that which caused the problem in the first place.

The game does keep a backup save in the same location that could have the data in it too.

Because the saves are not stored on our servers, it’s very unlikely that we can do much to help get it back but I hope this info gives you a leg up.

New Sentinel Model

In the October 2021 Development Update we revealed our plans for Patch 0.8.4 and beyond where we talked about our ongoing efforts to increase the visual quality and fidelity of the game. New character models are an important step for the future of Last Epoch. The upgraded models will increase the fidelity of the characters, and lay the groundwork for facial animation support during key story moments in future updates.

The Sands of Majasa Update brought an exciting ...

Sorry, nothing exciting there.

Hey all, just thought I’d weigh in with a little info about why it’s the way it is.

I quite often see the comparison of base classes and masteries to PoE classes and ascendencies. This leads to the feeling that masteries should probably be respecable as each mastery is an option of the class you’ve chosen.

This isn’t how we currently view mastery classes. We’ve generally thought of the game as having 15 classes (12 for now). You start out by picking a general theme and then after about 25 levels, you pick your class. You get a chance to test it out and decide which one you like instead of having to pick right out of the gate without information. We try to give a taste of each playstyle in those early levels. Some can’t be done well, but we try to give a bit of a feel for them all early.

I know it’s a different way of thinking about it that isn’t necessarily what many people think when they interact with the system but this is how we’ve intended it so far. Like m...

This is the intentional design of it. The Abomination will decay as soon as the skeleton threshold is met.

We’re tracking this issue internally, thanks for the report.

Thanks for the report. In addition to this extra info, it might also help if you were to upload your character’s file as well so we can test the exact case on our end.

Thanks for the report, we’re investigating both this and the previously reported issue. If you have your Player.log from this play session it would be a great help as well.

Yea, having the math be straight forward really helps comprehension so we try to lean in that direction when we can.

Hey, so the normalizing function isn’t as harsh as you might think. It’s really simple, it just rolls twice and takes the average.

This has 2 main purposes, one: it reduces the chance of a crap roll. Because you only have a crack or two at it usually, getting a low roll feels really bad. Averaging two rolls makes it more likely to get a useable roll rather than effectively bricking the item if it only has one shot left. The second reason is to help emphasize really good drops. It means that going out and killing stuff is just a little bit better overall.

We put the item into the game when we received a large amount of feedback that people were finding otherwise amazing items with poorly rolled implicits and no way to even try and improve that, making the items feel really bad to even try crafting on because it had a limited potential.

Now, while rune of shaping is not getting a major rework, the new system does have some pretty significant knock on effect change...

Music Showcase

with Erik Desiderio, Composer

In the Sands of Majasa Update, 21 new music tracks were added to the game. Let’s take a closer look at how some of the music you had an opportunity to listen to while you were searching for Majasa herself, came to be.

Crystal Mines: Crystal Lotus

On the way to the Ulatri Cliffs, the player travels through the Crystal Mines that are now controlled by Zerrick. In the mines, the player battles the Scalebane Bandits as well as some of the creatures that live in the cave. The player fights a giant mushroom creature called Crystal Lotus that assails you with a fiery breath attack. The music creates a magical feeling that evokes a mystical underground cavern network. It starts with a percussive bed played by marimba, harp harmonics, and plucked solo cello. This is followed by intense hammered dulcimer lines that build up and create menacing music for the confrontation with Crystal Lotus, try t...

Was this after the Frostroot Warden boss?
