@@TalkativeTri That means a ton coming from you man I've watched you for awhile now and just started myself, covering the game's lore :) You're the real MVP!
You are the best ARPG story teller/ news teller out there. I normally skip to parts on other videos but your videos are something else they keep me interested and make me watch. Very nice content indeed.
I can't even count how many times I've thought this game is just never gonna release at all like... It had so much potential but it looked for so long like it was gonna burn in development hell in a similar way to what happened to Wolcen. Though the difference is, EHG wasn't shy to give the community free reign on the testing and feedback, and difficult as it may be they never let the time pressure divert them from delivering a good game first. It goes to show if you keep developers and players on the same page of the book they can band together and will it into existance one way or another. I mean now look at them. They're now setting standards for the genre radiating their influence into the development of PoE2 of all games. That's when you know you've made it in the ARPG market.
Everyone was talking about LE and the little information I got didn't catch my attention, until Zizaran released a video explaining the mechanics and that got me excited. The amount of improvements they provide to the genre is what catches my attention the most.
Backed the game in 2017 IIRC for $10 through their website before the Kickstarter. I was told I'd receive a game key "when the game releases next year". 7 years later it's finally 2018 haha. Their journey seems amazing and filled with passion. Can't believe a game made like this is so rare these days.
I just don't get this as a good thing. I bought the game five years ago also expecting a year before release, they have constantly pushed releases and features back and yet people think that the constant delays aren't a red flag.
@@bertjohnson401 It's a red flag for tripple A's. For a studio like this.. eh... making games is hard. i'd rather have the studio be honest, delay, make it how they intended it to be. Than have them release a half baked shitty game which will flop.
@@bertjohnson401depends on reason for the delay and what they were using the extra time for. It's red flag if they delay without adequate reason, silent or confused on progress or has no concrete design and framework set. Using Star Citizen as example, they continuously bounce around on games ideas and mechanics and features as if the developers does not want development to ever end. They waste so much resources having to update and redo same contents that was completed many times because it became out of date to the rest of the game. Halo Infinite was delayed by a year because they want to release something not broken. Maybe not everything they wanted was ready on release date, but the core game was through and what got out was pretty polished. Then they set to add the rest through updates and patches later. With Last Epoch, they are releasing the same game design that was laid out since the beginning, they conversed with players and seems to be that many of the delays are players driven with the development team creating what the player dream of as long as it fits within the design framework, followed by extended polishing period until they are happy.
Been a Last Epoch player since the kick starter demo seen every change since then and finally 1.0 is almost here i'm Hyped! See you all in Eterra Travlers!
Amazing video! Your dedication to quality and clarity in explaining Last Epoch is outstanding. I don't usually go for this genre of games, but your video makes me want to give it a try. Keep up the great work - looking forward to more!
It's crazy to see the gameplay clips from early development vs where it is now. I've stopped playing for a bit because I want a somewhat of a fresh feel for the full release. Sub for all the work you put into putting this video together, that couldn't have been easy. Good job.
Just found your channel. Love how clear you are on your explanations. Easy to understand and great content. Having played LE for over 3 years now, I love how this game came to be. Passion projects like POE and LE show the love that went into them. Unlike the last 2 Diablo games, which were pure profit.
The Story Master is back with yet another video getting me hyped for an upcoming game! Great telling as always. What a time to be an ARPG Gamer. Will be joining you in that Barbarian Horde rushing the gates in 2 Days What Build will you be playing though?!
@@TalkativeTri Exactly the same dilemma here! Falconer I think is going to take it for me. Mayyybe with a spear because everyone says they’re trash haha Looking forward to seeing what you discover.
Only early access I have ever given my time. I usually refuse to play any game until at least 1.0 but this game is just that good. I cannot wait until release!
I bought the EA back in 2019 and played on/off for years. To finally see it come together after 5 years is incredible. Having played D4 and to contrast with LE and what LE is launching the game with just blows my mind. I went and bought the Ultimate edition upgrade just to show my love and support for the devs. They are a small independent company, taking on the titans and we are the beneficiaries.
As a Dev, watching this actually made me emotional. Seeing our story being told, our game taking shape and most importantly our community growing with us is definitely a dream come true. Thank you so much for your video sir. Much love from EHG
@@z0ttel89 Of course I'm gonna bash a multi-multi-multi billion dollar company with decades of experience if they fuck up over a small studio doing a passion project for the first time. What are you on about?
@@z0ttel89 In my eyes, EHG is small company with First Offline Single player game cost 35USD. VS Blizzard 70Billions 25 Years company with Many Online Only games cost 70USD + Seasonal Cost + Expansion Cost next year but gives us BUGs+ SERVER ISSUE. We should not treat them Equally but Fairly compare them. LE is Offline Single Player 35USD Single Purchase ( Online as Bonus) VS D4 ONLINE Only 70USD+ Half Bugged Mechanics + Season purchases + Yearly expansion + Extra stash Tab Cost.
The hype for this game has gone through the roof the last few years. There is going to be a lot of new players on launch day and i really don`t think the servers will be clean on day 1 but i hope that doesn`t dismay people from playing the game.
There's no way in hell that the servers survive launch. It's currently 3-ish days out from launch and the game already has a 24 hour peak concurrent player count of 32k, when the current _all time_ peak is 40k on the multiplayer launch.
You need to chill on saying their cinematic rivals Diablos lol. Diablo cinematics are insanely well made. I picked up Last Epoch and I am enjoying the game 100% though. Looking forward to the 21st and trying warlock.
Who tf cares everyone I know from launch of d4 has quit and only like 5% have returned to test the game. Games dying and needs to die, it had its try now move on and stop tryna defend d4 in anyway.
I play the game since august 2020 and the progress they made is insane. For all this time they improve every aspect of it and i'm really happy for them for the 1Millions copies sold. I hope new player will appreciate this game. Have fun everyone
100%, it was my new computer not respecting my audio settings. Good news is now I have a brand new computer AND I've fixed my mic. Thank you for watching.
This whole ARPG race to ultimate King will eventually end up with GGG and EHG collaboration and creation of one eternal ARPG that will rule them all! :D
I have been running back through the game before release and it's been a blast. Ice thorns and thorn totems can combine into a mean combo and make leveling very smooth. Howl can juice the dps of the combo without specing into it. You can get nearly 100% uptime on it if you get the on your kill, on wolf kill, on rare or boss hit and when hit by enemies mods on the wolf skill tree. It bypasses the cooldown when triggered so is pretty strong. On launch I plan to go Warlock. See how that feels
I bought LE years ago but never got hooked. Recently I upgraded to ultimate edition because I plan to play some, but also to support them because they finally got stubborn GGG to improve trade!
Man, tomorrow is my day off and the game is launching it's 1.0 release. It's going to be a marathon for me and my wife. Send Paladins to the servers, we need them up and running. Please servers, treat us good! No downtime and God please no long queue time!
Always love how well scripted and put together your content is, hope you blow up man, keep it up. One small error when you talked about dungeons, the Lightless Arbor uses gold not the Soulfire Bastion
thanks for the video, was very interesting, hyped to play the game on wednesday ^^ the part about the dungeons confused me a bit, there are only three?
Hey Tri, love your videos. With this video, I can immediately tell you've been playing with your microphone/audio settings. It looks to be the same mircrophone, blue yeti, which can sound very nice. However this video had some harsh audio. Sounds overly processed and there is bass that is too strong, and it only was minimized if I lowered the volume a lot. The blue yeti is very good at picking up sound, and you might be cracking things a bit too much here. Also, remember that the blue yeti has a specific angle at which the voice should be approaching the microphone (a lot of people get this wrong.) I'm listening to your last video and it sounds much nicer than this one... So while I appreciate you trying to improve the audio, I don't think this was the right direction.
Thank you for pointing this out! I definitely heard this in the audio...it's actually because my brand new computer and my audio settings/drivers not loading up right. Should be fixed in all future videos.
😢I will buy this asap. I was hesitant, but after all the extremely good opinions from almost every TH-camr or streamer that had played it, I will definitely play it, and a lot. Edit: what bg3 anf last epoch have done using early access, is definitely a big W. The studio directly working with the fredback of the consumers, applying concepts that the players want to see in the game, and also improving those ideas with their knowledge, experience, and passion for their games.
Can confirm I have grinded my 20s into my 30s and almost into my 40s now in ARPGs. Can also confirm no true ARPG enjoyer wants a mmo like/light or the ability to pay for power. GGG nailed this with POE and now Last Epoch is positioned to take over with quality devs that made a quality game. Blizzard blew it, the 65 dollar mount was the nail in the coffin. Do you want colorful portals in D4 or for literally the same amount of money buy Last Epoch and have a full game that is simply slight years ahead of D4, not as predatory, yet doesnt require multiple PHD's like POE. Im truly looking forward to bouncing back and forth between LE cycles and POE/2 seasons. While nothing will ever replace the OG feelings of grinding Diablo 2 its a pleasure to of been able to play it back then and now see how far the genra has come with these 2 quality driven companies. #D4Bad
Its gonna be a blast thats for sure! I have't really played it since i want to wait till launch but even so its very promising and aside from server issues i doubt there will be many problems considering it has a offline mode(something they probably copied from Grim Dawn.) so lets all have fun!
I’m 34 years old and I still don’t know how games are made. What software do they use to write code? How do they create the artwork? How is it all combined? Etc. So I just do my little job and wait and all these games appear before me! Looking forward to playing this one!
I absolutely love LE, but here is a list of things I'd like to see improvement upon in upcoming patches - -Skill visuals -Voice acting -A sound and a much smoother transition when using a portal or moving from zone to zone. It feels unsubstantial compared to gow PoE does it. Hard to explain this one. -Hideouts -Better balancing. Always a task in theae games, but there is a huge discrepancy between something like acid flask and fireball. In fact, a lot of poison stuff needs to be buffed. -More/different affices in endgame maps. -A more intuitive map. Hard to explain, again, but some quests you can click on and it takes you right to where it is and others it doesn't.
Man, Tencent is really making dream games come thru. They have the shares of both the best and second best ARPG games in the world, as well as the best (or second best) MOBA in the world, which is Lol. They are a powerhouse
People were saying D4 might destroy Last Epoch's chances of success a year ago, but D4 might just have been the best thing that could have happened for LE. The timing is perfect. D4 brought the genre back in full focus as a huge release, but has disappointed many people now several months on. And exactly as this moment LE releases with many revolutionary innovations that deal with all the things people are disappointed with in D4.
When I played this game for the first time, other people barely play it. The number on Steam was so depressing. I can't even refund it because I have spent 30 hrs in the game. I was like, 'wtf. This game is fun, but why the hell it's not popular???'
The best feature of LE for me is that it get its purpose on point. It's not trying to be the next, PoE, Diablo or anything else. Sure it has systems similar to those games, but it sets itself apart with a thing that those game lack: player-driven devlopment based on feedback. The main thing that i hate about PoE and Diablo is the hostage situation that we get ourselves with some simple QoL features. In poe we have a bunch of reasoning that (maybe) was valid 10 years ago but is not today for not implementing simple features that would benefit most of the player base. While Last Epoch is just like: both multiplayer and singleplayer? hell, why not?, (almost)free respecs? u have it. SSF and Trade focused features? we will do it. Want some space? we make a infinite stash for your shards (something like poe crafting currency)... even more space? what about 200+ tabs for in-game currency?.. They started with horrible, really bad skeleton of a game and they are now with a pretty start for an arpg, he's not enar PoE, but their starting point sure is better than PoE starting point...
Bought it last year played it for a week, reached endgame and got bored. It doesn't quite give me the kick that POE does, but also did not give me the same level of boredom as D4 did, so that's a plus. Nonetheless, I will be playing it again from Wednesday till next poe league for sure. See you there peeps!
This game is much better for quality of life than POE. Those of us who have a life outside our basements, should play this ARPG. You will play more than working on a calculator and pinging 10 people for trading in PoE.
So far they made a game that is solid 6/10 i hope now with new income they can make it better :) gonna be honest i play beta for like 2 weeks and im burnd out. I have a little de ja vu from d4 :D fingers crossed on 1.0 :)
Bandwidth these days has become such an arbitrary scam for anyone trying to make anything meaningful that has connectivity. The internet itself needs some major regulatory changes for providers. They are milking customers worse than a pay to win microtransaction shop.
I’m gonna buy it up till launch. From what I’ve gathered is that it has a rough endgame, but they’ve acknowledged it and are looking into it. The core system is really solid. The main selling point for me is, it seems to me, that I can sit and make my own build. It may not be min/max but it may be potent enough. I’ve always wanted to get into ARPGs since Diablo 2… unfortunately Diablo 2 doesn’t have a substantial endgame really. Diablo 4 is a lesser form than Diablo 2. I don’t like the beginning of PoE and I don’t want to take the time to get into it. I am happy that it exists, but this seems to be the perfect middle ground. However I doubt that any game will get the loot right as Diablo 2 did. I don’t think it has ever been done in any game period.
As a poe player that was active during kalandra, scourge and expedition... Reddit has combatively destroyed any and all respect I could have had for them as a platform.
I really, really hope the launch will go amazingly well for them. It would be so incredibly deserved. I know many people won't agree with the last part of this comment, But I actually favor LE over PoE now.
To all the people who cry about them prolonging the Kickstarter release that I see in the comments, for those choosing beggars who spent BIG 10 dollars and acting as they would invest their lifetime inheritance: Sorry to say, but you need to be more self-conscious. You help game developers by investing money in their game/process, but the investment may fail - no matter who says what. The fault is on you and on the dev selling you a dream (Kickstarter game/MMO scam era) and gullible people like you who believe sweet talk. If I would ever back up the game I would not expect or believe any words from anyone until the game would be posted up. That's being said luckily Last Epoch game is bonkers, great game for a great value that beats d4 (bad) in many ways, younger brother of PoE I would say so I'm happy it didn't turn into a scam, but for people backing up games with delusional expectation you need to know what you are getting for. If you like the idea of the game - you are investing in the idea, not the game itself so you should not be entitled to anything as crowdfunding games are more charity for indie devs. Like in regular charity, there are scammers, there are scamming devs that will abuse your ideas of perfect games. Stay sane exiles and time travelers
@@TalkativeTri Wow I thought only the skills under the progression bar (the ones with the big icons) have associated skill trees 😮 I am a PoE player and the theory crafting of different builds is the best part in ARPGs for me.
Ejoyed the video! Even though this is a great game, i share some of the concerns other people mentioned regarding overhype. Last Epoch is for sure better than D4 as an arpg, but its not that clear on the surface, espcially if you are not a veteran arpg player. If you just simply watch a 10 minute video of D4 end game, D4 can easily look more fun, fluid and usually has a stronger atmosphere due to the better graphics. Last Epoch has many good QoL features, deeper itemization, crafting and character customization, but the campaign is for sure weaker. The first impressions of new players that will come in with higher expectations will be interesting. I feel like LE in it's current state has a very good foundation, good fun for a couple of weeks, but it's far from competing with the likes of PoE. Hopefully it will be the case in the future, but we should be careful with the hype.
F the devs honestly, used to be on their discord in the very early kickstarter days, they had a program for "guides" where they gave volunteers the role on discord to explain things to people, help people, manage events and whatever... a bit later when they were funded they just removed the role and the people on it, never mentioned them anywhere anymore, didnt say thank you or whatever.... just "role is gone, were not doing it anymore"... so yeah, since i was one of those guides and got fucked over like that i just left the discord and never played again
I hope a lot of games do take note of LE because a lot of things that are frustrating with the genre are improved on. But stop saying this game is launching in 2024, it launched in 2019. This is an almost 5 year old game. Trying to pretend it is somehow new when you will still be able to play old characters at release is just being dishonest. You have been able to buy the game, play it, talk about it, stream it, write online guides about and keep your stuff from it for almost 5 years now. There is nothing wrong with the game 4+ years old, it is just reality.
Great vid Tri, I actually covered this insane story as well a few days ago. Love your editing and storytelling

I'm listening to your last video and it sounds much nicer than this one... So while I appreciate you trying to improve the audio, I don't think this was the right direction.
Thank you for pointing this out! I definitely heard this in the audio...it's actually because my brand new computer and my audio settings/drivers not loading up right. Should be fixed in all future videos.
😢I will buy this asap. I was hesitant, but after all the extremely good opinions from almost every TH-camr or streamer that had played it, I will definitely play it, and a lot.
Edit: what bg3 anf last epoch have done using early access, is definitely a big W. The studio directly working with the fredback of the consumers, applying concepts that the players want to see in the game, and also improving those ideas with their knowledge, experience, and passion for their games.
If you do buy it, you can help out me/other creators if you use my Nexus link for no extra charge ;) Link is in the description!
@@TalkativeTri almost forgot about it, im goin to buy it now with the link
@@TalkativeTri i cant find the link on the description tho :/
@@TalkativeTri found it, but on the discord
Can confirm I have grinded my 20s into my 30s and almost into my 40s now in ARPGs. Can also confirm no true ARPG enjoyer wants a mmo like/light or the ability to pay for power. GGG nailed this with POE and now Last Epoch is positioned to take over with quality devs that made a quality game. Blizzard blew it, the 65 dollar mount was the nail in the coffin. Do you want colorful portals in D4 or for literally the same amount of money buy Last Epoch and have a full game that is simply slight years ahead of D4, not as predatory, yet doesnt require multiple PHD's like POE. Im truly looking forward to bouncing back and forth between LE cycles and POE/2 seasons. While nothing will ever replace the OG feelings of grinding Diablo 2 its a pleasure to of been able to play it back then and now see how far the genra has come with these 2 quality driven companies. #D4Bad
Yup I’m grinding my mid 30’s and early 40’s for sure lol😊
Glad i am 55 playing poe for 13 years o wait......
Just bought it !!!
same
Its gonna be a blast thats for sure!
I have't really played it since i want to wait till launch but even so its very promising and aside from server issues i doubt there will be many problems considering it has a offline mode(something they probably copied from Grim Dawn.) so lets all have fun!
lets hope we can change the key bindings on launch.
So much hype behind the game I'm pretty sure the launch is going to be catastrophic server wise... OH BUT THERE'S AN OFFLINE MODE :D
I’m 34 years old and I still don’t know how games are made. What software do they use to write code? How do they create the artwork? How is it all combined? Etc. So I just do my little job and wait and all these games appear before me! Looking forward to playing this one!
Looking forward to it, but I'm sad we don't have prepatching enabled
They explained it can not be done because they have offline mode. Flip side of the coin I guess :)
I absolutely love LE, but here is a list of things I'd like to see improvement upon in upcoming patches -
-Skill visuals
-Voice acting
-A sound and a much smoother transition when using a portal or moving from zone to zone. It feels unsubstantial compared to gow PoE does it. Hard to explain this one.
-Hideouts
-Better balancing. Always a task in theae games, but there is a huge discrepancy between something like acid flask and fireball. In fact, a lot of poison stuff needs to be buffed.
-More/different affices in endgame maps.
-A more intuitive map. Hard to explain, again, but some quests you can click on and it takes you right to where it is and others it doesn't.
Man, Tencent is really making dream games come thru. They have the shares of both the best and second best ARPG games in the world, as well as the best (or second best) MOBA in the world, which is Lol. They are a powerhouse
21 lets go
People were saying D4 might destroy Last Epoch's chances of success a year ago, but D4 might just have been the best thing that could have happened for LE. The timing is perfect. D4 brought the genre back in full focus as a huge release, but has disappointed many people now several months on. And exactly as this moment LE releases with many revolutionary innovations that deal with all the things people are disappointed with in D4.
Blizzard's answer to any feedbacks about their games - "you think you do but you don't".
When I played this game for the first time, other people barely play it. The number on Steam was so depressing. I can't even refund it because I have spent 30 hrs in the game. I was like, 'wtf. This game is fun, but why the hell it's not popular???'
I hate to be THAT guy but its "Wolcen: Lords of MAYHEM"
Love the video Tri keep it up!
OH NO. Thank you lmao.
@@TalkativeTri
Asmondgold will also be trying out the game on launch. Sooooo yeah its gonna be BIG.
The best feature of LE for me is that it get its purpose on point. It's not trying to be the next, PoE, Diablo or anything else. Sure it has systems similar to those games, but it sets itself apart with a thing that those game lack: player-driven devlopment based on feedback.
The main thing that i hate about PoE and Diablo is the hostage situation that we get ourselves with some simple QoL features. In poe we have a bunch of reasoning that (maybe) was valid 10 years ago but is not today for not implementing simple features that would benefit most of the player base.
While Last Epoch is just like: both multiplayer and singleplayer? hell, why not?, (almost)free respecs? u have it. SSF and Trade focused features? we will do it. Want some space? we make a infinite stash for your shards (something like poe crafting currency)... even more space? what about 200+ tabs for in-game currency?..
They started with horrible, really bad skeleton of a game and they are now with a pretty start for an arpg, he's not enar PoE, but their starting point sure is better than PoE starting point...
Bought it last year played it for a week, reached endgame and got bored. It doesn't quite give me the kick that POE does, but also did not give me the same level of boredom as D4 did, so that's a plus. Nonetheless, I will be playing it again from Wednesday till next poe league for sure. See you there peeps!
I play Last Epoch to relax. If I want adrenaline, I'd reinstall PoE. PoE gives the best Hardcore experience.
This game is much better for quality of life than POE.
Those of us who have a life outside our basements, should play this ARPG. You will play more than working on a calculator and pinging 10 people for trading in PoE.
Dose anyone know if this will resales for consoles or is it just for pc?
Just PC right now.
Crazy how an indie studio from Reddit completly shits on D4. Hope servers will handle lunch.
"Maybe also their 40's"
Im almost 50 lol.
So far they made a game that is solid 6/10 i hope now with new income they can make it better :) gonna be honest i play beta for like 2 weeks and im burnd out. I have a little de ja vu from d4 :D fingers crossed on 1.0 :)
So i can play this without internet because of offline mode right?
Yes, but offline characters can't use online features like multiplayer and trading and the offline stash is separate
Bandwidth these days has become such an arbitrary scam for anyone trying to make anything meaningful that has connectivity. The internet itself needs some major regulatory changes for providers. They are milking customers worse than a pay to win microtransaction shop.
I’m gonna buy it up till launch.
From what I’ve gathered is that it has a rough endgame, but they’ve acknowledged it and are looking into it.
The core system is really solid. The main selling point for me is, it seems to me, that I can sit and make my own build. It may not be min/max but it may be potent enough.
I’ve always wanted to get into ARPGs since Diablo 2… unfortunately Diablo 2 doesn’t have a substantial endgame really. Diablo 4 is a lesser form than Diablo 2. I don’t like the beginning of PoE and I don’t want to take the time to get into it. I am happy that it exists, but this seems to be the perfect middle ground.
However I doubt that any game will get the loot right as Diablo 2 did. I don’t think it has ever been done in any game period.
As a poe player that was active during kalandra, scourge and expedition... Reddit has combatively destroyed any and all respect I could have had for them as a platform.
Bought it yesterday
I really, really hope the launch will go amazingly well for them.
It would be so incredibly deserved. I know many people won't agree with the last part of this comment, But I actually favor LE over PoE now.
P.s. if there is one thing I would like to see changed, It's some of the balancing. The game is quite easy as it stands.
damn this video aged well. launch day is going to be interesting he said lol
wait..... what happen with icyveins and aaron rpg. what did i miss ? lol
Do not care about servers, finally major aRPG with offline mode. Before D3 and PoE that is only way I've ever played aRPGs
To all the people who cry about them prolonging the Kickstarter release that I see in the comments, for those choosing beggars who spent BIG 10 dollars and acting as they would invest their lifetime inheritance:
Sorry to say, but you need to be more self-conscious. You help game developers by investing money in their game/process, but the investment may fail - no matter who says what. The fault is on you and on the dev selling you a dream (Kickstarter game/MMO scam era) and gullible people like you who believe sweet talk.
If I would ever back up the game I would not expect or believe any words from anyone until the game would be posted up.
That's being said luckily Last Epoch game is bonkers, great game for a great value that beats d4 (bad) in many ways, younger brother of PoE I would say so I'm happy it didn't turn into a scam, but for people backing up games with delusional expectation you need to know what you are getting for. If you like the idea of the game - you are investing in the idea, not the game itself so you should not be entitled to anything as crowdfunding games are more charity for indie devs. Like in regular charity, there are scammers, there are scamming devs that will abuse your ideas of perfect games.
Stay sane exiles and time travelers
Audio is coming in a bit hot on this video. Tons of clipping. Turn down your mic gain for the next video. Just a suggestion from an audio engineer.
Was definitely my bad. New computer, settings were…bad.
if only the in game story was as interesting
standing tall next to d4 is really ez. tbh
I'm not a fan of Tencent being involved, even if it's just a low investment. Tencent are one of the cancers of this industry.
Diablo 4 spent all their money trying to convince us how ground breaking the game is.
People shit on lost ark to hard. Ik its a pay to win mess but its still got some of the best combat and boss design in class.
Really every single skill I see on the big skill tree has its own skill tree?
Yes!
@@TalkativeTri Wow I thought only the skills under the progression bar (the ones with the big icons) have associated skill trees 😮 I am a PoE player and the theory crafting of different builds is the best part in ARPGs for me.
I'm glad offline is an option cause those servers are gonna get REKT!
Ejoyed the video! Even though this is a great game, i share some of the concerns other people mentioned regarding overhype. Last Epoch is for sure better than D4 as an arpg, but its not that clear on the surface, espcially if you are not a veteran arpg player. If you just simply watch a 10 minute video of D4 end game, D4 can easily look more fun, fluid and usually has a stronger atmosphere due to the better graphics. Last Epoch has many good QoL features, deeper itemization, crafting and character customization, but the campaign is for sure weaker. The first impressions of new players that will come in with higher expectations will be interesting. I feel like LE in it's current state has a very good foundation, good fun for a couple of weeks, but it's far from competing with the likes of PoE. Hopefully it will be the case in the future, but we should be careful with the hype.
Poe 2 and LE: 2 ARPGs to look out for. #d4bad
Even Wolcen has better mechanics and endgame than D4 😅 but same stash problem...
F the devs honestly, used to be on their discord in the very early kickstarter days, they had a program for "guides" where they gave volunteers the role on discord to explain things to people, help people, manage events and whatever... a bit later when they were funded they just removed the role and the people on it, never mentioned them anywhere anymore, didnt say thank you or whatever.... just "role is gone, were not doing it anymore"... so yeah, since i was one of those guides and got fucked over like that i just left the discord and never played again
I hope a lot of games do take note of LE because a lot of things that are frustrating with the genre are improved on. But stop saying this game is launching in 2024, it launched in 2019. This is an almost 5 year old game. Trying to pretend it is somehow new when you will still be able to play old characters at release is just being dishonest. You have been able to buy the game, play it, talk about it, stream it, write online guides about and keep your stuff from it for almost 5 years now. There is nothing wrong with the game 4+ years old, it is just reality.
It's coming out of beta in 2024
@@HeyStupidman Live services games are constant betas, so the game already released back in 2019.
