I think the theory forgets that each faction level up individually and each require favor to be interacted with. I think you'll be more successful sticking to one or the other. I've seen several dual faction theories to game the system and so far I'm not concerned about any of them becoming meta.

If people enjoy doing both then that's awesome, have fun.

The big thing we want to avoid is having those new player tutorial videos coming out promoting having a MG alt or a CoF alt to be the most efficient.

I think you bring up a very solid concern. It was one of the biggest concerns we had too.

The amount you can interact with either system is regulated by favor. Favor is something you earn by killing monsters while you are representing your chosen faction. Each action you wish to take in either system, selling an item, buying an item, buying a prophecy and more, will cost favor. This is the primary balancing dial that we will be able to turn in order to fine tune the relative power of the two options. CoF falling behind? Maybe drop the favor cost of prophecies or bump up the favor selling cost of exalted items. There are a bunch of favor dials to turn in order to get things feeling good. It's going to take a few cycles probably but we've built in enough ways to balance the systems relative to each other that we should be able to get them fairly close.

And because you can't really take items from one side to the other, I think we are fairly insulated against attemptin...

Does that include Hail of Arrows? I think the in game description says enemies can only be affected by one at a time but I can't check right now...

It does include Hail of Arrows.

Increased Cooldown Recovery speed only affects the skill cooldowns of the active skills on your bar.

Thank you so much Judd. Also, please consider my Rune of Favor idea as well (and consider many others too, if you can), there are plenty of ways to mitigate the terrible feeling of complete loss of progress:

Love the visual mock-up! This would be a very powerful material - I’ll put it in the same discussion thread on our internal channels

Your logic is sound. I’ll take this to our design team to discuss. Thanks for taking the time to write this

They will take damage from multiple ice vortices like that, and this isn't specific to ice vortex. In general in Last Epoch a target can be affected by multiple overlapping damage over time areas at the same time.

Pretty sure it’s a misconception from reading that we will reduce base drop rates when we release the item factions which will make the overall drop rates higher.

Hold alt to see the details of how attributes scale each skill.

Only minion stats affect minions unless otherwise explicitly stated. For example, ballista has a node that has it inherit your damage modifiers.

Skeletons have no such node.

Also, as a side note, we don't have the stat "9% added minion damage". Added damage stats are flat, if it's a percentage, it's either increased or more.

Come give it a shot! I suspect you’ll like it. I built my team out of people who deeply love this genre to combine and push the bar on the best aspects that have existed. Many people are getting hundreds or even thousands of hours of gameplay from their purchase already. We have an incredible amount more planned and for the community to be excited about in the next couple years.

Happy to hear you’re enjoying it and we appreciate you taking the time to say this. I’ll screenshot and share with my team this morning - I’m sure it’ll give everyone a boost. Cheers!

Long shot but in the reinstall process, I don’t think that the graphics ini file gets removed. I’m on mobile so I don’t have the exact path or link but you can find the path to it on our support site. Deleting that will cause the game to remake a new default one on start up.

You’ve already tried most of the common things so I don’t have any low hanging fruit to try.

The changes made to how you reduce your corruption were required to be implemented and tested before we could really look at corruption sharing as even a possibility as previously it could get a whole timeline into a completely unplayable state if you farmed corruption while getting carried. This is still an issue but it is fixable by the player with the new zone type.
