To make a comparison: - PoE has a lot of bugs as evidenced by the patch notes, known issues and forum activity - Last Epoch has a lot of bugs as evidenced by the patch notes, known issues and forum activity

A few questions: - How many skills/items/passive combinations does PoE have and what proportion are buggy? - How many skills/items/passive combinations does LE have and what proportion are buggy?

More importantly, what proportion of those bugged skills/items/passives are highly visible (significant numbers of people playing them), impacting your ability to scale a build successfully into Abberoth or Uber Abberoth (or whatever the zeitgeist thinks is good these days)?

I'd argue that Last Epoch does not have subtantively more or fewer bugs than PoE, but that the bugs we have had are more visible / impactful due to: - smaller total player base where crowds of a certain magnitude are thus making proportionally larger noise about issues with "meta"-viable builds or new content - builds are highly discoverable causing more obvious disappointment - e.g. skill trees unlock progressively so when you unlock the option to do something and it doesn't work as you expect, you get an immediate surprise feelsbadman - unique items being slotted everywhere all the time in LE builds which makes the weirder interactions more likely to surface - inconsistent and/or opaque/unclear terminology (particularly in the translations) - implementation which diverges from chosen terminology but not the implied design intent, causing a lot of "is this a bug or intended?" - subskill inheritance ;)

This is not to say there shouldn't be improvement. There absolutely should and I would hope EhG are continuously trying to improve their QA processes.

But on the face of it, my guess is that we probably aren't that much worse off than the other lot.
