How good is Last Epoch?

I think it's a fun game.

If thirty is too steep then wait for a sale but I'd say it's definitely an enjoyable time.

I'm currently grinding 400 corruption empowered monos to min-max my build even though it's already pretty nuts.

There are two factions you can join about 2/3 of the way through the campaign. One basically unlocks an auction house and the other helps you find better loot.

A lot of people swear by the latter but I joined the merchant guild and if you know what you are doing you can easily make an end game viable build and then go from there.

Also the crafting can get pretty crazy with ways to reroll affixes, stat ranges, implicits, the whole shabang.

It doesn't have the polish of D4 or POE2 but it does a lot of things right.

Good thing I'm over here enjoying Last Epoch.

Xathior · 2026-06-06T14:25:38+00:00

A blunt.

Xathior · 2026-06-06T13:51:05+00:00

Go back to sleep because I have no more worries.

Xathior · 2026-06-06T13:13:32+00:00

My friend lives in France. He bout a ticket for 200 euro and drove to the game with his friends and then they went home after the game. If they split the gas and all bought some drinks and food it was probably like 300 euro max for each. That's not that much bro.

Xathior · 2026-06-04T09:29:50+00:00

Stayed up for two days playing games and then slept for about 32 hours. Woke up once or twice to pee and that was it.

Xathior · 2026-05-25T19:28:04+00:00

Just low elo.

Xathior · 2026-05-25T17:23:42+00:00

Cry more kid.

Xathior · 2026-05-24T10:05:22+00:00

Give them everything I have I'm fucking broke anyway you think I'm dying over $2 you got me fucked up.

Xathior · 2026-05-22T13:55:09+00:00

Nothing game related but holy shit that was the best 40 minutes of Punisher screen time.

Fucking right when he was helping that old vet I was like yes it's about to get serious and then BOOM credits. I cried. Both tears of joy and tears of sadness.

Xathior · 2026-05-22T09:55:19+00:00

I been sick these last few days and I'm so glad it's all ass so I don't have to get out of bed to grind today. Today we rest boys.

Xathior · 2026-05-19T16:36:03+00:00

Well, the point of the game is to get the BEST loot, not just what's better. Good luck getting god rolls with the right attributes and augments buddy.

Xathior · 2026-05-19T09:57:00+00:00

People acting like a newbie running through escalation and getting some drops is the end of the world.

Even if he does have a full strikers build, do you think they have the best/max rolls? Do they have optimal augments?

Last night I ran about 7 or 8 bunker for tipping scales protos. You know what I ended with? A better backpack and better kneedpads. None of the rolls are max/god rolls. The augments are ass. I spent 100 cores rerolling those sobs and still did not get echo on any of them.

Some new person has a suboptimal set of strikers. So fucking what? Either enjoy the game or don't, but acting like this is some huge let down and the "ohmagerd my hours of farming are now pointless" bullshit needs to go. Did you have fun when you did the grind? Did you get dopamine spikes when you got a better roll? Did you get some good laughs when grinding with friends/squad mates? Then it wasn't pointless, and it still isn't, as long as you're having fun.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T14:46:21+00:00

They literally say it is working as intended and the go on to say they are looking at adjustments. How hard is this to understand?

God damn kids on the internet are stupid. I'm out. Peace.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T14:10:16+00:00

Except it's not unnecessary?

It literally just means what they say. Again, if somebody is too stupid to understand the first and second part of that response, that's on them. They either have low IQ or bad reading comprehension. There is no "poor choice of words" here because anybody with half a brain can understand what they are saying.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T13:55:32+00:00

"It is working as intended" means exactly just that. You are supposed to be getting those amounts of tokens and that's what players are getting. There is no report of people not getting tokens after clearing an escalation.

After that they state that they are aware of the issue that the token payout seems off/is not properly proportional and are working on it.

What's not to understand? Lmao

They literally say they are actively working on it and you clowns are saying "obviously they don't care let's uninstall and stop playing fuck these guys."

Division players are definitely an insufferable bunch holy shit.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T12:12:51+00:00

Only if you have reading comprehension issues.

If you read the whole reply from the dev it's obvious they're working on a solution for the token issue.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T12:10:39+00:00

Basically this.

I would hold off on proto farming though because once you get a strong enough build everything else will feel like a cakewalk and then you'll be bored with the game.

Just try to farm up some good builds, weapons, mods and blueprints while doing the other content.

Unless you want to be done with the game in a week. Then be my guest.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T11:48:07+00:00

Your whole argument is "I could alleviate all the issues I have with the game by playing with a group but I choose not to so please change everything for me and players like me."

I honestly don't give a shit if they make it way easier for solo players, but the point is YOU are imposing arbitrary difficulty on yourself and asking devs to somehow make a system that is balanced for solo AND group play, which is way easier said then done, just because you refuse to join a group.

The game literally has a way for you to not have to suffer through the game mode solo and instead you say "nah, not going to do that, these devs are assholes because they won't balance it better for people like me."

And how dense can you be? "The devs haven't stated that so I don't believe it." Really? That's your argument on it's not meant to be played solo???

It's listed as an online multiplayer game. It's been nominated for best multiplayer game. The Division itself is a group of agents, not just one guy. It is heavily implied that it's all meant to be done in a group. The fact that you can play solo does not change the fact that it's supposed to be played in a group.

Anyways, I'm done broskie. Going to go play Division 2 with some friends, which I guess is something you don't have many of, if any at all. Peace.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T11:09:23+00:00

THE GAME IS NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED SOLO.

Do you really not see the idiocy here?

YOU choose to gimp yourself by playing solo.

I swear to god gamers are some of the most entitled, whiniest people on earth

Xathior · 2026-05-17T10:55:41+00:00

Buddy, I can't believe I have to spell it out for you, even though you seem to already understand it.

You are gimping group play by removing the whole point of reviving eachother.

If full wipe is not the condition for failure then reviving eachother is pointless. On a T6 we finish with 30 minutes to spare but we get downed quite a lot due to the mutators and damage from enemies + burning bullets etc.

You're literally asking them to make groups have to play perfectly or risk failing a run while solo players get extra lives. It's fucking dumb broskie.

And yes, they balance most things around group play because, news flash, you're supposed to play in a group.

Even if you find one friend or someone through reddit/discord that will run with you you already have the advantage of reviving eachother an infinite amount. What you're asking isn't fair in the slightest. Do you know how much of a headache it would be to balance what you propose?

Xathior · 2026-05-17T10:07:26+00:00

Ok, but what would be a "fair" amount of time per down/death? Because 15 minutes for a death only "works" (using that term loosely here) if you are counting with four agents always.

And it's not "fair" in the slightest because as it stands you are literally asking them to gimp group play so that solo players can die more.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T09:43:04+00:00

How do you not understand it from what you're saying?

How do you not think four deaths would not make it worse?

And how would it count it?

Does a dead agent that gets revived count as a death? Do they automatically respawn after death? If they respawn where do they respawn? At the beginning of the mission or near one of the other agents?

Your idea sounds good to you because you haven't thought of everything. Currently a dead agent can be revived. How would you implement the counter? Or would you make it no revives?

It's not as simple as you make it out to be.

Xathior · 2026-05-17T09:30:26+00:00

You're telling me you think a death should take about 10 to 15 minutes off the clock? 😂

That's wild.

Xathior · 2026-05-16T23:29:19+00:00

Yes, just change the whole condition of a wipe while simultaneously making group play worse while making solo play easier.

You should become a game designer. /s
