Update 2024-03-11T17:22:00Z:

We have begun restoring stash data to affected accounts (tabs, faction progress, gold and shards). As this process requires you to be offline, we will be processing through the list of affected players skipping anyone who’s currently online, and coming back to them during a different timeslot. We will be locking out accounts as they’re being restored, so if you find yourself unable to log-in and were affected by this issue, please wait about 15 minutes and try again as we may have been restoring your account.

To re-confirm: This restoral merges back in missin...

This patch is required. To download the latest patch, please close the client to Steam, which should automatically start the update. If it does not, please try re-starting Steam.

It’s been a while since I’ve personally played Spellblade, though it’s certainly had its times being the meta leader, haha. Sometimes all it takes is a small tweak, or a single unique for something to go from obscurity to OP supermeta, or reverse. From a neutral balance standpoint, maybe other builds having an easier time getting to 300 and above is what we should be looking at, haha . Though of course, as I mentioned, it largely comes down to the feedback we get, and we’re listening!

Sometimes, you don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

Being in melee range (very close range) means you have less time to react to abilities as they connect sooner. Hard to beat math on that one. Though there’s certainly things we do such as making those more instant melee attacks weaker than ranged attacks, but with infinite scaling everything hits a point eventually.

We are aware of, and have been discussing the eternal melee vs ranged debate internally. Ranged is generally able to push further for a number of reasons, mostly due to the intrinsic benefits of not being in melee range, haha. It’s a very complex matter, particularly when infinite scaling is involved, but we have certainly been discussing the topic of how ranged tends to pull ahead of melee at high corruption (about 600-800C~) as the unavoidable attacks for melee start becoming unsurvivable.

Generally for balance, we shoot for all reasonable builds to complete around 300C. Of course, different people set different goals for themselves, and may only consider clearing 1000C to be ‘viable’, but roughly 300 is what we shoot for. As far as I’m aware, Spellblade is capable of this with a number of builds. Of course, we do listen very closely to feedback, so if we get a bunch of feedback about the Spellblade falling behind other masteries, we will certainly bump it up in priority.

Travelers,

We have heard your concerns with the current Refer A Friend system implementation and will be temporarily disabling it.

Because we aren’t fans of letting a small issue ruin the fun for others, we will be granting everyone who owns a copy of Last Epoch all three of the bee pets.

However, the teams here are very focused on getting services back up and working. As a result of us not wanting to take time away from that, we are going to hold off on granting these rewards until services are stable.

Our current plan is to monitor the situation and grant all three bee pets, and the Autumnal Wrap (Cape) to everyone who owns Last Epoch ...

This is a minor hotfix to quickly correct a character creation bug, and enable the alert message system.

• Fixed a bug where you couldn’t create a character after clicking through the cycle character explanation

Changes

• Enabled in game System Alert messages

Greetings Travelers,

Today is a historic day for the Last Epoch team and everyone here at Eleventh Hour Games (EHG). What started as an after-hours passion project has blossomed into one of the most anticipated releases in the ARPG genre, and we are blown away by the support we have received.

Thank You. Thank you to our families for putting up with us while we worked long into the night, and thank you to our community for supporting us even when all we had was a dream and a few vaguely Traveler-shaped pixels.

We look forward to seeing you all in Eterra, atop leaderboards, and expanding across time in the Monolith of Fate.

A few reminders:...

• Stormbreaker remains unchanged
• Crackling Assault has been changed to Storm Bolts
• Unending Storm modifies lightning damage you deal, it doesn’t have anything to do with lighting/storm bolt triggers.
