Last Epoch Dev Tracker

Spot on, one additional thing to note is that some particular uniques will be exclusive to certain bosses or will have higher drop chances with their respective bosses, though these will not be the majority case.

In Masochist you and your minions take (100 + zone level)% more damage and deal (50 + zone level/4)% less damage.

The zone level of the arena is always equal to the player's level.

It should be within the next couple of hours now. We'll announce on Discord when it goes live, so keep an eye on #announcements!

If it helps conceptualise it the actual formula is

mana cost = raw mana cost / (1 + mana efficiency)

This last example would be able to translate the very way you stated mana efficiency would, I believe.

It's interesting that you bring this up, mana efficiency was originally called "increased mana cost divider", which is more descriptive. However we decided against going with that name as it was pretty long, and could be confused with "increased mana cost" at a glance, which would give entirely the wrong impression.

Stats like mana efficiency whose exact mechanics are not clear from their name will have detailed tooltips in game, and many, such as tenacity, already do. The only reason why mana efficiency doesn't yet is because at the moment you can't get it on items or passives so there's no character sheet description for it.

Hi Pajingtonn,

We're glad you're enjoying it and we appreciate the feedback.

A lot these points - like the skill point confirmation, and missing X on the dialogue window - are aspects of the UI or controls that are definitely rough around the edges in the pre-Alpha and that we plan to smooth out during Alpha, so rest assured that those will be looked at and improved on.

For skill tree node, we are planning a system for that, and respeccing individual nodes will definitely be a lot easier than it is in Pre-Alpha. We haven't finalised exactly how it's going to work though.

Thanks again for you feedback and I hope you enjoy our future releases.

Update: We have implemented a fix, let us know if you're still having issues.

Enjoy the patch!

Sorry for the inconvenience. This is Kickstarter's video player so we needed to use it post this as an update on our Kickstarter page.

The eleventh hour is a common saying referring to the last minute, and because most of our team have other jobs we do most of our development at night, thus eleventh hour games

Faster clear speed is often what players in these types of games strive for - I don't see that being any different in Last Epoch. If we see a skill that can go from screen to screen in a split second destroying everything in an area that is supposed to be challenging it's safe to assume that we'll combat that build in some way. A big way to prevent this up front is to build skills that do not hit the entire screen instantly. We've also decided to make mana matter much more than a lot of games by not introducing mana potions and giving powerful abilities high mana costs so you can't easily use them back to back.

I will not let our game become movement skill > screenwide kill > movement skill > screenwide kill, repeat. If you notice that happening in the future, copy and paste this comment to me and I will ensure it gets fixed. ;)

You'll be able to build for full support if you want to but we're not having MMO-like tank, healer, and DPS roles. But... if people want I suppose you can simulate that haha!

Glad you're liking it, Slick! It will be much better every month ;)

Good feedback - I'm sure we can do this fairly easily

Look forward to our Paladin class. Their toolkit will involve plenty of this
