"Expertly" lying, saying Last Epoch launched with Leaderboards when it didn't have them for over 4 years. The game launched in 2019 and didn't add leaderboards until 2023. Raxx is not the person you should look to for expert research, he's just a popular streamer that wants to pander.

As a long time, experienced PoE player, I learned a lot from the PoE Beginner's Guide, and a ton more from the mapping guide. I know so much less about Last Epoch, and I am extremely excited to sit here and have you explain this game to me the same as you did PoE. In the friendliest viewer to creator way, I really do love and appreciate you Raxx.
one of the biggest pros for me is that you dont have the feeling to have to rely on a build someone else made. It gives the game an entire new meaning if you can tinker away and try stuff out with easy corrections on the way. I know you can do that in any game (not the easy corrections tho..). But for a casual .. thats often times more frustrating then rewarding.
Yeah, there are some great builds that I wouldn't necessarily have understood the combo of passives for, which is fun, but working it out yourself is also fun. I like the spread, there.
what will be the benefits of rolling a new character once the game launches? can i theoretically still play my current char or will everything be wiped?
I'm not a beginner, I'm here just to boost your numbers and leave a comment. I'm so happy you tried this game and that you like it so much. I can't wait for the game to officially release. Their core systems are just far above any other ARPG imo.
Comment here, comment there! I also want Raxx to release videos unpacking cheese and bread from supermarket. Also tasting different cheesburgers. I would watch that too!
Damn Raxx is really starting to become one of my favorite content creators, not only for ARPGs but in general. All the videos are really informative, there's no bullshit, great talking style too, you can tell he put some effort into that. Well done!
As a long time D3 player who has dabbled in D4, Torchlight, Grim Dawn, and Victor Vran, this video has sold me on this game for the loot filter, stash management, and crafting alone! You mean to tell me I can do crafting outside of town without having to hunt down a blacksmith?! And I get a ton of stash tabs? Mind blowing indeed! Thanks for the very informative guide!
yea these systems are best of any ARPG i ever seen, and dont forget the ability to 'slam' stats from an item onto a Legendary , Such a COOL IDEA, D4 is so dumb for not taking these ideas
@@dragon_dyce LE took ideas from the community and veteran ARPG players hence why it is how it is, i think Ziz gave some ideas to them to implement in game, and they did
They also seem to have solved the trading vs good/interesting drops with the item factions. I'm really happy that i already bought this game years ago. Not just that, i upgraded to the deluxe tier yesterday and can't wait for the 21. february.
Dude, I've been following you all through D3 and D4. I was looking into getting into Last Epoch and searching for a guide like this and you pull through. I am soooooo glad I am a subscriber to your channel. You are an angel for all of us ARPG enthusiasts.
Super dope video raxx! Another helpful tip for people who kinda know what theyre doing and have some last epoch experience: if youre crafting and you need a rather hard to find affix shard like "+rank to multishot" or something, and you do not have enough materials to level it up to t5 to get the extra rank to that skill, SAVE your runes of removal and the next time you get any item with that affix you needed, do NOT use a shatter rune, instead use removal so you can use those shards to upgrade your equipped gear. I realized that i was very quickly beginning to stack those more rare affixes because i was using removals instead of shatters.
Honestly man your guides help me get into ARPGs. I always put it off due to not wanting to suffer the learning curve but you remove the pain completely
I have truly relied on your content for a long time and was very gratified to see this video drop. You helped me off of the fence about Last Epoch as I was reluctant to say the least to purchase after my experience with D4, LE is downloading now. The quality of your approach is only matched by your patient sowing of info and tips, you've never wavered in this standard. Your efforts are greatly appreciated, thank you.
Amazing guide, both information and delivery wise. Raxx, if you were a teacher I'd probably never miss any off your classes, I watched the whole thing with a huge smiler on my face :) I tell you enjoy this game a lot by the excitement in your voice, which makes me really happy!
I love what you say, and even more I love how you say it. To me, you are a symbol of what a gamer used to be. Smart, respectful and funny. You make me enjoy gaming again. Thank you, Raxx.
Great video Raxx, really on point and covers all the important part of the game. The only thing I want to add is that Rune of Ascendance has a lower LP chance and more importantly CANNOT create a boss specific unique (i.e. Apathy's Maw)
I think this is the first "Beginner" Video I've seen that mentioned there was a guide... considering I am a beginner who tends to consume a lot of info ahead of time, it was new to me. Being searchable as well, more games need such things. Solid to the point video as always Raxx!
Started my first character this week to prepare for launch and your opening points are perhaps the most relevant - Last Epoch really does put all the information in front of you in a remarkably straightforward fashion. It's incredibly refreshing and it does make me excited to come up with my own builds on the fly. With that said, I wouldn't want a new ARPG launch without a big beginner's guide from Raxx, and this was another great one. Thanks!
First of all thank you for your informative, no-filler content. Secondly... Wow, it's actually kind of alien having a game that actually cares about what players want and their choices, after being neglected for so long by other games. I feel like a child again, I almost teared up when playing this game bro. Mad respect to the team for that made this game, and I hope they break sale records because they deserve it.
I like the crafting system, coupled with the loot filter, because say you like crit, crit damage, fire damage, and attack speed, any item with these affixes is inherently valuable because you can build up very useful shards to use on stronger items later, and use the filter to pick up only those useful items. Sick idea.
Really want to thank you for your guides! I have been playing for a while on my own and now am playing with friends and family. Watching your various videos have really upped my game.
The in game tooltips, Loot filter, faction system, stash system and materials system have me sold on giving this game a try. It looks like this dev team actually played an ARPG before making one, this is so much quality of life. It feels like GGG and Blizzard both have something to learn here about QOL and in game information.
IMHO this shows me how inept the entire D4 team is as a whole. You’re telling the game has been out for over a year and yet devs still haven’t had the guts to go to their seniors and push more QOL updates for the game. This is the nail in the coffin for me, never again will I play a Blizzard game.
@@sighfly2928 Not to mention that Last Epoch has been in EA for years, so they had a loooong time to possibly learn things from LE, not to mention Grim Dawn, D3!, PoE etc. Just amazing really - except for the graphics / sound, it feels like D4 was made by highschool senior game design course members, not a multi-billion dollar development company.
@@dragon_dyce I don't have a lot of confidence that this is the case anymore with Blizzard. I think they would somehow find a way to implement the same features in a less competent way.
I watched a ton of LE guides and this is by far the most comprehensive and friendliest one out there. You are really the best Raxx. Thanks as always cheers 😊
Even though I already knew most of what you presented, I just HAD to watch the whole thing. Extremely well done! Concise, clear, useful advice for every part of the game, I think many people might like this video format better than a “review” to actually know what the game is like. GG
You are the reason I bought the Ultimate PreOrder. Gave it 30 hours, 2 weeks ago, just to dabble. I am taking a 3 week vacation starting the 22nd for this game. Those 20 hours brought me back to my childhood... Where I FELT this excited when I purchased Diablo 2 and rode my bicycle back to my house to play it. Eleventh Hour Games has done it!
The side-quest overview on the world map is a big deal for me. I remember my first experience with PoE being that I had to keep a campaign guide open in browser to tab back and forth to so that I wouldn’t miss out on skill points (or whatever they’re called) from optional quests. I didn’t even finish the campaign or try the game again after that.
I dind't even start to watch the video and I just know its going to be awesome because of Rax. Thank you for covering LE, please do more things with the game like guides for classes and builds! Rax, I would follow you my brother, my captain, my king of ARPGs
My favorite thing from playing over the last month to prepare to 1.0 is that almost every ability that I built around was genuinely fun. Even the stuff that wasn't OP was satisfying. I can't wait to really dig in at launch. Setting up the loot filters hurts my brain a bit, but everything else was intuitive to me (purposely didn't look anything up, wanted to see how learnable it was when going in blind).
Found you cus of Asmon - this guide was the best thing I've found for getting into Last Epoch!!!! I did a few other guides but I walked away not feeling like I had a grasp, but now I feel much more confident!
lol I’m cracking up at how scorned you are by Diablo games “and by some unknown technology from the future, grab your armrests get ready, there are 200 stash tabs on launch.” 🤣
A true beginners guide: little to no spoilers, allows the player to explore for themselves while giving just enough info to help them out. Great content.
you legitimately explain things better than anyone else, in any video game, that i have seen in my life. this is incredible. i feel prepared for 1.0 now! thank you!
Thank you Raxx! I always check out your vids on games but this one is a huge help. Honestly it's been a minute since I've dove into a new game like this. I'm looking forward to it and feel equipped with good info from this vid.
You have such a great way of explaining things simply, and I love that your videos aren’t just ‘hey look at this amazing endgame build with 7 uniques’. Thanks for catering to us plebs as well!
LE Devs: "Let's fix every cumbersome and boring problem about the core mechanics in aRPGs then add everything you could ever dream of into our game with a tenth of the development budget then sell it for $35." Blizz: "So we're gonna charge $25 for a horse. Wait....what did he say!?
I messed around with LE several months ago and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't end up getting too deep into endgame. Very excited for 1.0 launch, and even more excited to have Raxx dropping bomb guides for it!
This game I’m going to run 0 guides and just figure everything out myself. I only followed guides in POE because I really hated that game until I found out everything through guides. For sure POE you have to look at guides, but this game feels good even at level 70s without a guide, so I’m just going to enjoy it for what it is.
Thanks for the vid Rax much appreciated. I started a warrior class but quickly changed to the Acolyte with the Necromancer mastery. Having an absolute blast playing this. This will help pass the time till PoE 2
Great guide! Only thing I'd add with crafting 40:09 - sometimes you might be better off taking your chances with a removal instead of chaos spamming if you've got the shards to spare to level what you want. If i have a 3/4 amazing item I'd rather take the 33% and have a clean affix to glyph of hope the correct stat in, instead of risking wasting my crafting potential and risking locking an unwanted affix at T5
As much info that was presented here, it was concise and direct, as you always are. No filler info and everything relevant. I know nothing about LE, but feel prepared enough to start at launch!
Great guide Raxx! One other thing new players should realize is that you get a guaranteed unique from the "Ezra's Ledger" quest in Act 2. There are two different people you can turn the quest in to and you'll get a different unique based on which one you choose. So people might want to look at both and decide which one will be better for their build.
Bro...the way you covered your mouth when you said the dirty word "free" was epic. You got a sub for an awesome explanation of the G systems. Thank you.
Raxx is really one of a kind... He's probably, of the Diablo influencers, one of the latest to immerse himself in last Epoch and he's already done THE BEST guide to this game! What a beast
The game is about the price of a couple of stash tabs and everything in the game is accessible. From that point forth the game has it all, loot filters, stash tabs. Large inventory space, 3 end game systems. Etc The more I play this game the more that I fall in love with Last Epoch. This EHG is carving out there spot in the ARPG space. Path of exile and Last Epoch are my ARPG’s Last epoch actually reminds me of a mix of Warhammer inquisitor and Grim Dawn had a baby. Just games that are a complete package. Made by gamers for gamers. Love this game. Great video as always Rax. Legend 🤙🏼
I already put something like 70 hours into Last Epoch and i can say it feels really good. I usually stop after a couple monoliths and try a new class / mastery. The fact that you can't change masteries feels kinda bad, but besides that the game is fine. As people say, it smoothly fills the gap between PoE and Diablo.
I've done nothing but make my own builds, and it's fun. Just requires a bit of forethought to look at each ability and see what complements one another. Will i don't extreme content or heavily dip into end game, but I'm having fun and going at a slow pace, playing every now and then. The Tooltips are a great help, as well as concise and simple modifiers. Easily knowing what scales with what is such a lovely feature. This may be my favourite ARPG so far as a casual-intermediate enjoyer of the genre. I just started making a death seal character without knowing anything about guides or whatever, and it's a really fun type of character to make work especially after finding armour that takes away health and generates ward. So easy to connect the dots and then pick nodes that convert ward into damage when triggering deathseal, etc. The game gives me everything I feel like I'd need to cross that rubicon of really blasting.
Thanks for recommending Echo Warpath for those who can't button mash a lot. I had carpal tunnel surgery and my wrist just can't take the punishment from constant buttons mashing.
thank you for making this guide Raxx. Im one of the 'know absolutely nothing about this game" but im looking forward to it so much. Always appreciate the pace and the attention to detail in your guides!
Thanks for this vid Raxx! As a Diablo and PoE player interested in giving LE a go, this video has given me confidence to start day 1 not being a complete noob.
Great video! I’ve played the early access for almost a year but casually (since it was early access). Highest level is 63 I believe. There were a few things in this video I didn’t know so thanks for putting this together.
This is a class video, thanks so much for making it! Your flow and style is exactly what I was looking for and as a newcomer to the genre it's a really clear and plain way of explaining things that otherwise blag my head a bit at the minute 👍
Bought this for $10 about five years ago!! As far as using guides etc I would suggest strongly that you do not use one for you first play through (unless you just get stuck). Then if you want to follow one, you can do it on your next play through. You just need to spend a few minutes going over all the passive and and skill trees to see what synergies are applicable to your build choice.
Great guide, thanks for all the time and trouble you put into this, excellent work and very useful. I've had it in my wish list for a while, but not really looked into it as I don't buy games in EA, but some of the stuff blew me away, stash tabs, filters. etc.
Beginner tip if you have bad eyesight / nearsight issues - get really good glasses because the game have no UI Scaling and have the smallest text in game history. They really need to change this. Otherwise a fantastic game and looking forward to 1.0. Happy weekend everyone.
@@Chris3s Did you know 99% of the bluelight youll ever experience in your life comes from the sun? I say this as someone who has yellow tinted glasses :D
Doesn't matter to what I said though, just stating that my glasses helped me from having aching eyes after working for the whole day and then also sometimes gaming @@TheRealTrucido
I uninstalled D4 from my computer, it ain't going back. 0% chance I buy any of their garbage expansions, not sure what I'm gonna do with the $100 credit still on my account from selling all that gold after WoTLK. Started playing LE a couple days ago to get a feel for it, and ready to blast on the 21st. So far so good, really enjoying this game. Great video Rax!
It really nice to see raxxx genuinely enthusiastic about this game! It looks like a weight has been lifted of his shoulders sinds I have watched his honest views on D4 development. Finally a normally monetized game!
One thing for item types you forgot weavers will uniques. For anyone who doesnt know theyre uniques that can have between 5 and 28 i believe weaver potential. Tbe item gains experience when you kill enemies and when it levels up it can gain extra affixes. Theyre super neat! I look forward to seeing everyone in game!
I just started last week, so much more fun than D4, and more accessible than PoE as you stated. I'm definitely going to roll a falconer next week, the preview for that looked awesome! Thanks for making this! When I get more free time (I'm a teacher), I'll have to check out your PoE guide or maybe wait till PoE 2.
Anyone even slightly interested in arpgs should be supporting this game. We need to reward devs like this (and GGG) for making quality products without outrageous mtx prices or pay2win. But most importantly it’s just a TON of fun and deep! It’s also completely possible to play through w/o a guide if you wanna figure things out for yourself.
Hey Raxx... I noticed you mention your Ulnar nerve in your right arm wasn't working. I had that same issue in both arms, both arms had complete numbness in my pinky and half of my ring fingers on both sides, they did an EMG on both my arms and found that the ulnar nerves in both arms were not conducting electric at the right speed and they ended up doing a surgery on both sides at the elbow, to decompress the ulnar nerve at the elbow. After the surgery I was able to feel much better with my pinky/ring fingers again almost immediately, and had about 6 weeks of recovery per arm before i could lift/use the arm again. If you haven't looked into it i would recommend based on my experience having them check it out and possibly repair the issue with a surgery. I always assumed it had to do with the amount of gaming (18 hours a day for months/years at a time) I did, and the doctor didn't think it was related but hearing you have the same issue with how much you game and the style of games you play like me, i think its definately a lot more likely it is related to the hardcore gaming as well.
I think a nice addition would be to have a hotkey in your inventory for the sort/store option as well as still having the button. Just more fluid gameplay
Great guide. Been watching a few, especially mcfluffin's university series. I think rune of shattering needs an overhaul. I don't understand needing a currency to dismantle items. If you want it to cost gold that's fine, just make it an automatic thing in your inventory or at a vendor/blacksmith in town and have it consume the item and gold. Rune of ascendance TLDR from the blog, item level doesn't matter only base type but it won't upgrade to a boss specific unique. Also it's a rarer chance of transforming into rarer items.
Loved this guide, Raxx! Last Epoch looks to be amazing. I don't have time to play it right now with my job taking up a lot of my time, but I'll definitely keep your guide in mind for when I have time and buy the game!
The only thing that makes me hesitant about this game is the mob density. I'm honestly not sure if I can get excited about killing 5-10 mobs at a time.
Clear, organized, expertly researched but accessible to beginners, presented in a calm, no bullshit style, Prof. Blue Hoodie's seminars are must see.

This is a crazy well organized and clear video. Thank you
A true beginners guide: little to no spoilers, allows the player to explore for themselves while giving just enough info to help them out. Great content.
Great video Raxx, I just finished watching it at 20x speed.
This guy downloads information like Neo in the matrix
you legitimately explain things better than anyone else, in any video game, that i have seen in my life. this is incredible. i feel prepared for 1.0 now! thank you!
I don't watch many of your videos honestly speaking. But by far, you have been one of the most well spoken content creators I've listened to.
I have 250 hours in the game since 2021. Hugely recommend DoT+ Ward Plague Doctor Lich build
Thank you Raxx! I always check out your vids on games but this one is a huge help. Honestly it's been a minute since I've dove into a new game like this. I'm looking forward to it and feel equipped with good info from this vid.
You have such a great way of explaining things simply, and I love that your videos aren’t just ‘hey look at this amazing endgame build with 7 uniques’. Thanks for catering to us plebs as well!
LE Devs: "Let's fix every cumbersome and boring problem about the core mechanics in aRPGs then add everything you could ever dream of into our game with a tenth of the development budget then sell it for $35."
Blizz: "So we're gonna charge $25 for a horse. Wait....what did he say!?
I messed around with LE several months ago and had a lot of fun with it, but didn't end up getting too deep into endgame. Very excited for 1.0 launch, and even more excited to have Raxx dropping bomb guides for it!
Raxx is one of the best ARPG content creators at this point. Keep it up man, you're an asset to any community you apply yourself to.
This game I’m going to run 0 guides and just figure everything out myself. I only followed guides in POE because I really hated that game until I found out everything through guides. For sure POE you have to look at guides, but this game feels good even at level 70s without a guide, so I’m just going to enjoy it for what it is.
Not only was the video super clear and informative, but I also cracked up a couple of times. I honestly had a blast
Hoping the Indie Devs over at Blizzard take some of these AAA features into consideration for their next Alpha build of Diablo 4 🤞
Best introduction to any game I've seen on TH-cam! Thanks Raxx for all the work you do!
Thanks for the vid Rax much appreciated. I started a warrior class but quickly changed to the Acolyte with the Necromancer mastery. Having an absolute blast playing this. This will help pass the time till PoE 2
Best guide from the best boy! Good job Raxx! You are the hero we all deserve!
Great guide! Only thing I'd add with crafting 40:09 - sometimes you might be better off taking your chances with a removal instead of chaos spamming if you've got the shards to spare to level what you want. If i have a 3/4 amazing item I'd rather take the 33% and have a clean affix to glyph of hope the correct stat in, instead of risking wasting my crafting potential and risking locking an unwanted affix at T5
that 1.8second loot filter pasting efficiency calculation
As much info that was presented here, it was concise and direct, as you always are. No filler info and everything relevant. I know nothing about LE, but feel prepared enough to start at launch!
Great guide Raxx! One other thing new players should realize is that you get a guaranteed unique from the "Ezra's Ledger" quest in Act 2. There are two different people you can turn the quest in to and you'll get a different unique based on which one you choose. So people might want to look at both and decide which one will be better for their build.
Bro...the way you covered your mouth when you said the dirty word "free" was epic. You got a sub for an awesome explanation of the G systems. Thank you.
Raxx is really one of a kind... He's probably, of the Diablo influencers, one of the latest to immerse himself in last Epoch and he's already done THE BEST guide to this game! What a beast
Going to work in 30minutes, I'll be listening to this for sure! Looking forward to it. Perfect timing, thank you Raxx.
The game is about the price of a couple of stash tabs and everything in the game is accessible.
From that point forth the game has it all, loot filters, stash tabs.
Large inventory space, 3 end game systems. Etc
The more I play this game the more that I fall in love with Last Epoch.
This EHG is carving out there spot in the ARPG space.
Path of exile and Last Epoch are my ARPG’s
Last epoch actually reminds me of a mix of Warhammer inquisitor and Grim Dawn had a baby. Just games that are a complete package. Made by gamers for gamers.
Love this game.
Great video as always Rax. Legend 🤙🏼
I already put something like 70 hours into Last Epoch and i can say it feels really good. I usually stop after a couple monoliths and try a new class / mastery. The fact that you can't change masteries feels kinda bad, but besides that the game is fine. As people say, it smoothly fills the gap between PoE and Diablo.
I've done nothing but make my own builds, and it's fun. Just requires a bit of forethought to look at each ability and see what complements one another. Will i don't extreme content or heavily dip into end game, but I'm having fun and going at a slow pace, playing every now and then. The Tooltips are a great help, as well as concise and simple modifiers. Easily knowing what scales with what is such a lovely feature. This may be my favourite ARPG so far as a casual-intermediate enjoyer of the genre.
I just started making a death seal character without knowing anything about guides or whatever, and it's a really fun type of character to make work especially after finding armour that takes away health and generates ward. So easy to connect the dots and then pick nodes that convert ward into damage when triggering deathseal, etc.
The game gives me everything I feel like I'd need to cross that rubicon of really blasting.
Thanks for recommending Echo Warpath for those who can't button mash a lot. I had carpal tunnel surgery and my wrist just can't take the punishment from constant buttons mashing.
thank you for making this guide Raxx. Im one of the 'know absolutely nothing about this game" but im looking forward to it so much. Always appreciate the pace and the attention to detail in your guides!
I love how Raxx explains things. Its in depth but uses simple language most people can understand. Big W Raxx 👊
That send crafting items button is sooo nice... really excellent intro guide.
Thanks for this vid Raxx! As a Diablo and PoE player interested in giving LE a go, this video has given me confidence to start day 1 not being a complete noob.
I'm not goign to repeat what others have said. Your video is TOP NOTCH quality. Thank you, from a L-E newbie who had mixed feelings about this game
I'm so excited to listen to this video in its entirety and retain none of the information because I'm dumb.
This is without a doubt the best guide on youtube. I learned so much; I'm fully prepped for 1.0. Thanks, I love you.
Never thought I'd become an ARPG lover. Always thought they were boring in the past. Thanks for all the introductory content, man.
Raxx is definitely at his best when teaching, could've used university profs with this level of dedication 👏
Great video! I’ve played the early access for almost a year but casually (since it was early access). Highest level is 63 I believe. There were a few things in this video I didn’t know so thanks for putting this together.
This is a class video, thanks so much for making it! Your flow and style is exactly what I was looking for and as a newcomer to the genre it's a really clear and plain way of explaining things that otherwise blag my head a bit at the minute 👍
i watched the whole "Last Epoch University" series by
McFluffin and this One Hour Guide is as good as McFluffin's in-depth extented videos
Bought this for $10 about five years ago!!
As far as using guides etc I would suggest strongly that you do not use one for you first play through (unless you just get stuck). Then if you want to follow one, you can do it on your next play through. You just need to spend a few minutes going over all the passive and and skill trees to see what synergies are applicable to your build choice.
Great guide, thanks for all the time and trouble you put into this, excellent work and very useful. I've had it in my wish list for a while, but not really looked into it as I don't buy games in EA, but some of the stuff blew me away, stash tabs, filters. etc.
Raxx you are amazing brother
Thanks Raxx. Once again you got our backs! I still don’t understand how Blizzard could not get all those QoL features in D4.
I lived for this video, thank you Raxx ❤
Beginner tip if you have bad eyesight / nearsight issues - get really good glasses because the game have no UI Scaling and have the smallest text in game history. They really need to change this. Otherwise a fantastic game and looking forward to 1.0. Happy weekend everyone.
I mean everyone with bad eyesight should get glasses. Upgrade your GPU IRL. Huge QoL.
yea if you are gaming getting bluelight filter on any glasses is a huge boon. Since then my eyes never hurt
@@Chris3s Did you know 99% of the bluelight youll ever experience in your life comes from the sun? I say this as someone who has yellow tinted glasses :D
Doesn't matter to what I said though, just stating that my glasses helped me from having aching eyes after working for the whole day and then also sometimes gaming @@TheRealTrucido
@@Chris3s Glasses in general or blue light filtering ones?
I uninstalled D4 from my computer, it ain't going back. 0% chance I buy any of their garbage expansions, not sure what I'm gonna do with the $100 credit still on my account from selling all that gold after WoTLK. Started playing LE a couple days ago to get a feel for it, and ready to blast on the 21st. So far so good, really enjoying this game. Great video Rax!
Super happy to see you covering LE. This game deserves lots of eyeballs on it.
It really nice to see raxxx genuinely enthusiastic about this game! It looks like a weight has been lifted of his shoulders sinds I have watched his honest views on D4 development. Finally a normally monetized game!
One thing for item types you forgot weavers will uniques. For anyone who doesnt know theyre uniques that can have between 5 and 28 i believe weaver potential. Tbe item gains experience when you kill enemies and when it levels up it can gain extra affixes. Theyre super neat! I look forward to seeing everyone in game!
I just started last week, so much more fun than D4, and more accessible than PoE as you stated. I'm definitely going to roll a falconer next week, the preview for that looked awesome! Thanks for making this! When I get more free time (I'm a teacher), I'll have to check out your PoE guide or maybe wait till PoE 2.
Anyone even slightly interested in arpgs should be supporting this game. We need to reward devs like this (and GGG) for making quality products without outrageous mtx prices or pay2win.
But most importantly it’s just a TON of fun and deep! It’s also completely possible to play through w/o a guide if you wanna figure things out for yourself.
Love to see you covering this game. You seem excited and happy for it. I will be picking this up on Steam and bringing some friends with me!
Hey Raxx... I noticed you mention your Ulnar nerve in your right arm wasn't working. I had that same issue in both arms, both arms had complete numbness in my pinky and half of my ring fingers on both sides, they did an EMG on both my arms and found that the ulnar nerves in both arms were not conducting electric at the right speed and they ended up doing a surgery on both sides at the elbow, to decompress the ulnar nerve at the elbow. After the surgery I was able to feel much better with my pinky/ring fingers again almost immediately, and had about 6 weeks of recovery per arm before i could lift/use the arm again.
If you haven't looked into it i would recommend based on my experience having them check it out and possibly repair the issue with a surgery. I always assumed it had to do with the amount of gaming (18 hours a day for months/years at a time) I did, and the doctor didn't think it was related but hearing you have the same issue with how much you game and the style of games you play like me, i think its definately a lot more likely it is related to the hardcore gaming as well.
25:18 Diablo 4 developers when they see 200 stash tabs: "LIES! They must be breaking the laws of physics!"
Budget's too tight for stash tabs
I think a nice addition would be to have a hotkey in your inventory for the sort/store option as well as still having the button. Just more fluid gameplay
Great guide. Been watching a few, especially mcfluffin's university series.
I think rune of shattering needs an overhaul. I don't understand needing a currency to dismantle items. If you want it to cost gold that's fine, just make it an automatic thing in your inventory or at a vendor/blacksmith in town and have it consume the item and gold.
Rune of ascendance TLDR from the blog, item level doesn't matter only base type but it won't upgrade to a boss specific unique. Also it's a rarer chance of transforming into rarer items.
Loved this guide, Raxx! Last Epoch looks to be amazing. I don't have time to play it right now with my job taking up a lot of my time, but I'll definitely keep your guide in mind for when I have time and buy the game!
Definitely buying this game. I've always been bad with putting builds together in ARPG's like this, but that loot filter is insanely helpful.
On behalf of all the gamer dads in the world I wanna thank you for this guide! So much time saved.
The only thing that makes me hesitant about this game is the mob density. I'm honestly not sure if I can get excited about killing 5-10 mobs at a time.
Thanks, Rax! Just started played yesterday using your information and blasting! You're a legend.
you are soo good at this! thanks for this guide. im a new player to this game and you just made my life a whole lot easier :)
Really appreciate all the hard work put into this video. Very informative and helpful! :) Thanks Rax
THANK YOU FOR THIS RAX. was looking for a good guide as just picked le up and the goat at making beginners guides himself just posted one
Awesome intro guide for a new ARPG player like me, great timing, just started playing yesterday. Thanks Raxx!
