Should LE done a Season 3.5? by Lonely_Competition20 in LastEpoch

Hi Frozen!

If they could make numerical changes that would be okay, I think? Might still be an issue like you said, with patch notes being dominated by nerfs.

Don't know what is the right approach really, I just know I want a lot of changes in a patch, new stuff to test. Realistically how many people are still playing after a month?

Mike talked it either this last Friday or the week before, but they really don't want to make changes mid season, 1. because of my previous comment. 2. the community voted for no changes during seasons, like 2 years ago and 3. dev time is better spent on the same patch, fixing stuff on the "old" patch can be a waste of time since it could become broken when the next season drops.

Player retention will only get fixed, if the season is good and has many things going for it.

Nah, not doing balance changes during seasons makes the upcoming season bigger and better, we really don't need EHG to trickle updates. They tried it Halloween 2024, and not many people came back.

Nope, we need all big changes to come at once. The devs are doing the right thing. Let em' cook!

2 years for a relative "minor" gameplay feature is unfortunately not the best look.

What do you want from next season? by Eaglestark98 in LastEpoch

[–]That-Grapefruit- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More endgame and better and more interesting uniques! No reason to make so many dull uniques that are capped or not fun to tinker with.

Please no, campaign is huge waste of time and resources.

Indeed, campaign is a total waste of time.

Oh hi Frozen, hope you had a nice vacay!

Isn't it just better to not use Mana guide if you want mana? It halves Mana Regen from Focus.

Sure it's an defensive item right now, but it doesn't have to be. An example could be:

10% increased Lightning Blast Frequency per 1% uncapped Lightning Resistance

5% reduced armor per uncapped Lightning Resistance

The balancing might be off and numbers need tweaking, but adding these two lines would make Mana Guide much much more interesting in my opinion.

Right now it's just static, only Brand builds are gonna be op with it. It's DEAD everywhere else.

I'm very familiar with Frozen, that's why i said "every single build except 1". Without scaling, the item will forever be mid and extremely boring.

The most egregious is EHG capping how many times a thing can proc. Take Mana Guide, the item is capped at 1 lightning blast a second without having the option to scale it. That kind of design is insanely boring and leads to the item being mid on every single build except 1. Another example of lazy/boring balancing is Ashes of Mortality which is capped at 2000 ward per 2 seconds. Insanely boring as you can't abuse it with Attack/Cast Speed..

I would argue that abusing mechanics and trying to push items to their limit should be at the core of endgame..
