42:01 Maybe in the future you can transform into a Falcon!
42:38 & 46:57 Any chance for a crafting mod where you destroy 1 legendary for a % chance to get LP on an identical one or something?
48:19 I only pay attention when you play Void Knight or Paladin.
49:23 Will Sorcerer see some love at 1.0? Passive tree and Frozen Orb skill tree rework maybe?

1:48:59 But why wouldn't you if they are really cool? And give it your own twist.
1:52:11 Can you explain how the minimum required level of an item is calculated?
1:55:05 That must be the most awful feeling when you discover that.
1:56:08 The loading having a pause after Keeper Balthas vanishes is kind of odd.
1:59:03 What's the design approach behind Rune of Shattering? Why not make it possible to shatter items using just gold?
2:02:34 Do you have any plans to improve the interaction of left-click to attack?
Can you please give a update on adding UI scaling? Text is to small for people with bad eyesight. I see it being frequently requested on the forum for a long time, but i never seen a response on it.
720p? it is almost 2024 c'mon guys.....
Big Karen npc vibes
It's 2024 and too late to tell you to stop being an asshole. So go ahead and see yourself out, no one wants you here anyway.
Oh shit you guys have a YT channel? Totally missed that. btw great game, looking forward to whats coming in the future.
Mike, I hope I can party up witb you 😂
Please update for steam deck
Imho for me option to skip campaign and just start endgame is must have, but well ;/ Otherwise I like d4 system, when just one shot hitting campaign. For me that issue is hard willingness for playing this way every Cycle reset again and again. And yet is it leaderboard will be on Legacy Cycle or just on Cycle reset Server? Not everybody wanna playing from scratch over again.
I feel like that's gonna be a non-issue once you get used to starting from scratch again every cycle. Each reset would come with balance changes and I feel like being able to run through the campaign is a great period to test out what's new in that reset, what tweaks to put in, what type of progression is needed. Overall just to get used to any changes that might arise. Going through the campaign for POE every league has made it clockwork for it so I don't really mind running through the campaign. But if the concern is about the campaign being too long to just blaze through, I can see why an option to just skip it entirely feels justified. Perhaps having the option would be nice but I don't think that'll happen anytime soon. Would be an interesting addition though.
First! MWHAHAHAAH
ngl seeing a dev having the worst build ive ever seen worries me..
I'd be happy seeing a dev that actually plays the game
Ngl seeing that you commented without watching a video worries me.
The skill trees are my main issue with the game. Terrible design, everything is all over the place and some synergies exist behind several layers of UI. Battling the UI is never a good feeling in a game. Also must be a nightmare to work with from a dev perspective aswell. How do you balance a skill tree with a bunch of pathways and combinations for no apparent reason. It doesnt give build variety, its just complicating a system that doesnt have to be complicated at all. When I open last epoch and create a new character now, I just quit after a short while cause im not interested in hovering over 100 different nodes for skills that feel the same with 95% of those choices anyway. And this is coming from someone who is an altoholic in other arpgs and mmos.
Don't like it at all, seems like a mindless slasher, what I don't like the most is that your attacks and weapon hits look as if they're just going through your enemy, like fighting air.
his game looks fun but needs a lot of polishing from the gameplay view and also from the visuals. Let's be real... Unity 2019 can do 100x better than this.
Are they even using post-process effects here? Add some vignettes, change colors to ACES or FILMIC, and add distance fog, and volumetric fog.
Particles are another issue. Unity is not the best in this regard but can do better with a lot of sub-particle systems and even physically based ones. The particles are not great.
Not even all objects have shadows, cmon we have 2023. Ambient occlusion is also missing so everything seems flat and not grounded.
Some textures are really blurry like from WoW from 2004, not all of them even have Normal maps to add some depth to surfaces.
Atmospheric effects are missing, clouds shadows, rain, puddles, dynamic lightning. Character models from the character selection are a meme.
Sure, I'm talking about visuals and D2 doesn't need it to be great but visuals are building the atmosphere. There is a lot of space to improve in this regard.
Animations seem clunky but this is more on Unity's side as their animation blend system is just terrible the same as their terrain tool with a limited number of basic textures you can use.
More endgame content. Echos are not enough. More mechanics besides killing the boss. Some endgame rabbits to chase other than farming corruption.
Maps are a bit linear and narrow so you have a tunnel effect. Give us a bit of open space.
All these points are not some kind of bad speech or something but more like constructive criticism. This game can be great but needs a lot of work and effort.
The crafting system is great, the icons look really nice, the skill tree for every skill is a great idea, loot filter, a lot of space in inventory, etc... a lot of good ideas are here, just need a lot of polishing.
Keep up the good work!
BTW: 1:18:00 funny bug when the axe sometimes is in the opposite direction xD
