I am done, giving Last Epoch a try for a bit. This is a rant !
" If you're looking to Last Epoch for a different experience, you'll be sorely disappointed. - Their endgame is largely the same as PoE2's: you go through a series of "map nodes" to get rewards / path towards a boss fight, but if you die in the map, it wipes the rewards from the map. If you need to traverse the map because of pathing, you will not get any of the rewards, just like in PoE2. - The class balance in the game, at least when I played it last year, was completely out of whack. Some classes, like Runemaster and Falconer, you could blast away easily with. Other classes, like the Forge Guard (which I played), are basically F-tier. The devs, in their infinite wisdom, decided to listen to the community and not make balance changes within a season, meaning if you chose an F-tier class, you basically wasted all your time. (Also, the devs gave no indication how long seasons would last, so you had no idea how long to wait for any potential balancing that would be done. Apparently, it's been almost a year and they still haven't released Season 2.) |

" yeah for real, they really need to fix this. the mechanism here should be that we are target farming essences and omens which are providing the limited agency in crafting we need. but it isnt happening, essences are mechanically trash, greater essences and omens never drop. this is an essential part of the game that needs to function and right now its a complete failure. I love all you people on the forums, we can disagree but still be friends and respect each other :)

People take games to seriously.

" There's a video teaching how you can reach monoliths in 1.5 hours (around lvl 30) and you can start endgame mapping then and there. Later on you'll use a key to skip basically half the campaign. Aside from the monolith mapping to drop the key, it takes you 2 hours in the campaign from lvl 1 to unlocking your last idol slots and getting your passive points. PoE is the opposite: you chose a bad skill? Pray you can respec. You can't? Re-do 15 hours of campaign (was actually way less in PoE 1). Googling "poe league starter <patch number>" is a must in this game and that's actually pretty comical if you ask me. --- PoE 2 actually made me go back to Last Epoch and made me want to try D4. I have no clue about D4, but LE and PoE are games for different audiences. They're completely different starting all the way back to the dev's philosophies on how games should be and how much freedom of choies players should have in them. PoE is for pseudo-gambling addicts and masochists with too much time to spare. LE is for people just looking to chill while playing something with some action. Of course, one audience is way easier to lure/monetize than the other, so it's pretty obvious which game is "winning"... Dernière édition par _rt_#4636, le 31 janv. 2025 12:04:34

I love Last Epoch. Very fun game. Not as fancy as Poe2 obviously but highly recommend.

" If you have 550 hours in less than 2 months, then all your free time is nothing but Poe and if you work then you definitely never get overtime. You're in the minority |

" How can you be so sure?? |

I've tried POE2 a few times now.
Just can't get excited about it... Its just doesn't provide an appropriate entertainment value worth the time required. Niche game at best. |
