Last Epoch Dev Tracker

Builds that generate very large amounts of ward are being nerfed, but there will not be a cap. A large part of the enjoyment of ARPGs for a lot of people is pushing their builds further and further, and stat/resource caps can be a bit of a kill joy in that respect. They're definitely necessary in some cases, imagine if there was no resistance cap, but we like to avoid them where we can.

The maps get auto generated from the walkable area. Sometimes these mistakes happen. If you leave an in game bug report it should be pretty easy to fix.

Funny enough, none of the 3 items mentioned in this thread so far are actually Kickstarter reward items.

Salt the Wound and the spell blade fire staff that I'm blanking on the name right now were both Kickstarter reward items.

Also, at least 2 of the people who got those items passed on making them.

Yup, that was the main problem we landed on too.

This is something that we are addressing because it isn't fun just waiting for your friends to finish it you die.

We are about 3x that and growing right now. So we are getting close to being able to do things like that I hope.

Did you happen to use the in-game bug report system? If so we could see your logs and may have a clue what’s happening for you

Well, it's still in chunks but they happen every 0.25s and are then batched for display. The healthbar and death checks happen immediately.

The Isolation node, which is also on the path to Eternal Pyre limits you to a single projectile, but increases its size and damage.

If you want to convert Hungering Souls to fire without reducing the number of projectiles to 1, you can use the Soulfire unique relic, instead of the nodes on the tree.

It applies stacks of poison instead. There are no sources of poison hit damage in the game.

It's an issue that we're aware of, but which is unfortunately more complex to solve than it seems. Corruption cannot be changed without also resetting the echo web, due to the role it plays in echo web generation, and we don't want to have your echo web reset when you complete someone else's Shade of Orobyss in case there were still echo rewards from it that you wanted to claim.

We are making changes to alleviate the issue for 1.1 though. The system still won't be perfect, but running other player's echoes while trying to progress corruption will feel less futile.

Poison has been the best in the game multiple times and there are still several good poison builds out there. It also already ticks way faster than it seems. We just bundle them visually so you don't see a mess of useless numbers. You could make it just scale damage with crit but that feels kinda artificial to me. Maybe a specific node or item that gives that.

Necrotic doesn't have a widely represented ailment associated with it along the same lines as ignite or bleed but it does have dot ailments.

It's a few things but I think the simplest thing is just thematically. Like, just in real life, if someone were to spray a poisonous liquid on your arm, it wouldn't really hurt, it would just feel like water spraying on your arm. Any damage that it did would be from the physical nature of it hitting you.

On top of that, having things be different and unique give them different ways to think about the build. We already get enough feedback that ignite and bleed are too similar. If we let Poison have hit damage, it would be even more similar. The differences are what make these things interesting.

Yes. The only damage type that can't crit are dots. Poison is always a dot so poison also can't ever crit.

Are you asking about an in game key to enter a dungeon or arena?
