The Last Epoch completely destroyed everything I had.

Last Epoch has totally ruined my gaming experience. I’ve been caught in a monotonous grind, and the game’s complexity is overwhelming. But, there are some cool mechanics like the monoliths, the Circle of Fortune, and the crafting system that give me a sense of control. The loot filter is a game-changer, letting me focus on what’s important. I hope other games learn from Last Epoch’s innovations. It’s a game with real potential, and I’m excited to see how it evolves. Peace out! 🎮✌️

😩 An Uninspired Experience

right so uh it’s been a few since released been pretty over that time in hours in between and playing been a rush to anything particular haven’t or like levels as end just been all bothered playing game I’ve been steadily my while hopping on alts and there when I to do something grinding monoliths praying best and Slot and while I will say feel things a bit in terms of motivation grinding move from the soon lots want play but got say have time with last Epoch past few things well in my I think arpg and just general take their own or for future or just great of competition in the particular that I Epoch does really well have enjoyed so the end which consists primarily things monoliths of Fate are up these themed around these alternate and when you begin timeline you start at its and then outward progressing to is of like a dungeon these take just a few minutes to and usually you’ll to sort like kill of enemies you reveal the then boss or destroy that are spread across the map or go to and defend a particular location from few waves I here these come bonus reward you see ahead you enter an you can actually tell sort at this could a particular gear gold bonus resources the timelines aren’t straight path but multiple paths with are those Echoes in different so the are whatever want based the that happen be looking for if feeling like I’m on gold towards extra gold at or if I level faster pick ones that reward bonus experience is that you can work rewards while also at the time doing grind of chest and looking for gear to well like the will enemies with some making them graning granting or defensive enhancements Echo towards stability you kind of of an progression as you complete Echoes clear those dungeons fill and then this unlocks these of which there three at you have final encounter that timeline and that you some whole Loop are progressing through all these Echoes loot along way you quest and eventually those three quests the final of that timeline repeat do again then there’s final of corruption monoliths of these simply systems the whole harder exchange better really depac has done its as kind of simple as it might and is one the big for game but I like about is that the whole you along the way at the of the day still arpg goal is through wait your loot drops like arpg but during that with system how bonus you’re getting to sort of Select what category ories get bonus loots couple of minutes every you clear and sort of those is this where you get some sort of farming thanks to system particular of Fortune uh this lets additional Target drops

🎮 The Intricate Monolith System

Sure monolith system is pretty simple but cool uh so as you play you have these called prophecies they’ll ask to some normally killing a boss type and either in timeline having conditions a corruption but the tldr select assortment of the ones that the want will be and of gear of slots complete Quest gear just literally drops at feet don’t to go cash in just once whatever task on of there’s also extra layer a reputation the so as with the circle of Fortune you faction each grants you some really nice Rewards boosting loot drops like a stats and the ability get tons bonus loot that from any prophecy a reputation unlock it single drop it set circle faction how monoliths work never felt in of farming for items in loot game as have last Epoch in good like set are kidding it’s really cool now is another the the merchants Guild I that this for you want because simply gives to house where Gear with players using the in-game you know personally don’t in these auction these in these I prefer prer just via playing and you’re playing self if playing offline Fortune is going to to go with I think it’s an much so that I almost wish just gave both right had the of Fortune and auction house but I they’re trying make make less meaningful when one better choice your but and on how play a player for personally I don’t that more likely best gear faster if I with just bought from auction from don’t like so with circle of think the way done the is really cool thing I in this is crafting single piece gear in the Blue Rarity comes with certain called forging potential you’ll a piece Loot drop of 1 to four a fixes on and intrinsic stats well a set and then forging potential you a huge for you do uh with your to it better so at the base level the you can do enhance the using some of of whatever particular AIX you if a piece that has agility on agility forging you more agility but then are of support glyphs give a more there’s glyph which 25% chance to not spend forging potential when more on or glyph chaos will replace an your choice a random AIX the this obviously you gear an AIX on it isn’t useful it’s not your build use a to randomly that with a new same there’s also things of a seal an AIX which moves leaving the slot free the version of this a of four attribute stats on it function you one of them put it in its own separate category then that fourth slot freed up a gear piece on it the Despair and other systems with mechanics the system well it’s complicated but once in and it’s plays player that I I love so much well and of these shards I mentioned ago so work while game with of the every attribute all resistances enhancements like damage chance Lee to up an Gear you’ll as you play an that a fixes you like it you to because isn’t exactly you want you can actually use this called the of destroy the which will then assortment of and it into shards put your that you then later use piece there additional runes that you roll of affixes to roll an can a AIX freeing a be replaced something the of change a regular item into a that Rarity of the and also gear which has you taking those highly valuable and then purple gear adding to already powerful just the whole gearing know there’s a lot but it’s yet another aspect of last Epoch uh it just plays much into the player agency where feel I a lot of control and the and enjoyed that also I mention game it has stash tabs as you want really have I’ve seen players I think don’t hundreds of tabs on their you able code in their own sections that have sub underneath that highlight that has whatever searched for in or it and you can just keep adding more and more gold sync will an ever amount but just casually point I already like over 20 can got a it cause the game to real world they do I don’t know last depac how to make stash tabs work it is absolute Miracle oh and quickly want a shout as well system I the big a real love uh want mention the customization in Epoch it’s every single skill the game has that you specialize in have 25 nodes enhance and cases change the uh you’ve got five have your and in but those don’t to be same either you could active bar specialize that isn’t on off other what comes down to is there’s just potential here when with the a system this appears to be a game who out different do a bunch of crafting now isn’t normally just use and a few here here and don’t time or really the desire time theory crafting testing different builds I’ll let other people do then if they I’ll them if they’re cool I fun great we’re all a time even though I personally through of own builds I do really cool I also it’s games especially for health has it and that is really great but the feature is I’ve about that now you’re player you don’t thousands hours of Path of Exile you thinking me a filter that’s your thing it let explain actually super important so over years playing games loot let’s just Diablo right so season season Diablo I and year of hours Diablo 4 I noticed that there’s thing particular keeps those experiences and one thing that one of reasons eventually stopped playing in would just sick and to manually through gear these are Games part of experience is loot until you the both Seasons and Diablo before I release played come the game I spending like my time looking at gear check the stats if they’re applicable my build on those than that already have feels like half is this don’t it in Diablo 3 Greater Rifts my is full for a minutes of in nightmare check go hell TI check my inventory for or my am just it to here because does apply to larger more focused like like the playing Warframe out Riders Borderlands on and lot these at garbage doesn’t my build good enough roles it’s for whatever is wanting my time playing the game and in lot of games I more an who’s comparing all just it but last Epoch let as much or little you pretty can filter out things like all common and blue gear you filter only drops that the exact you your build can show for sharding gear with perfect rolls with just below perfect there you can set this so out gear a blue piece and a great AIX you could break down Shard and use another piece of with will while still all of blue drops can adjust the color boldness font of the gear of the that you really want as you get towards endgame start a ton of the orange great but you’re really like two legendary potential once you those great uniques need for your build that have potential you’re going to want to take the gear it to form just yellow purple has asortment doesn’t always what you you can up so seeing gear that really has Slot combination of stats you the this as far can tell lets you see exactly only want to for more free as want be and it’s like right for example a falconer character I a filter specifically character so only to see that exact type of I’m skills the minion damage dexterity move is right now sort of at I what consider mid late game happy to have more than a than slot gear because apparently this is pretty po and strong I picked it liked bird out one of builds well it happens yeah rather having to every piece loot 90% isn’t for I the that have that combination want for into adjust the so automatically shows exactly that such an amazing quality of life of issues I have with many as I ago is massive chunk staring at looking at gear the through the and I this part of the it’s part games going through bad gear to get to I want to be major part I don’t want it be a third of time I spent to play then the not spend half looking at Loot time the just personal preference thing now the to this and this particular loot filter to a of rules and menus but it works it is incredibly you away as well fully it as there plenty and with to loot you can just paste just up your build look up a filter a there go the class build you’re playing I know game to something this from what also has a filter I’m speaking and all can do is speak from my personal I have played Path Exile it like years it it was the came into Access I’m pretty all had endgame at continuously the like whole of maps Ubers that for now this totally built up up and fleshed out it that and loot filter if was I was oblivious point is not saying lyac is the first game with this I isn’t but my first with something like filter and feel like it’s a game changer it honestly completely changes loot game showers in garbage feel like should some variation loot filtering system it need to complex or tuned as this or as in should be every loot stuff you absolutely do want see and time piece of gear to realize 99% it isn’t you fact it’s all just obviously show you only need it’s part this and it’s a balancing like choosing much drops you is whole Balancing Act how much allow you have in a filter part well and I also of uh games to audience Mass are probably going be little scared have system like the loot in and loot filter of Exile is kind complex and and started navigate get why like blizzard want super complex to through in their games because they feel it’s appeal the wide audience to complicated and them would audience some credit don’t and system this game to they if it is too people it then can also have to could have a built-in loot filter system automatic filter that could enable for particular class and your particular or if you to nuanced could guides you it further more accurate meta you should looking for that didn’t exactly you but just here pick on blizzard not just here pick Diablo think is applicable of loot that I’ve just always seems to those and getting to really point you’re showered where of staring on literally in lot these it’s a third to 50% my time is my inventory instead that point I’m not the but around that end up getting up and quit because I don’t doing that the point and just everything with green just leveling and my my favorite and then to the end my staring looking gear part and alleviate and address this and I really like it so I may down with lasty but I am glad that weeks playing think game some things very very hope other loote games take inspiration from it a greater of agency with endgame things like farming as doing the overall farming in-depth system not with storage especially you wanting to on to lots items and that shower you loot consistently a large number of for you to look through this a got to last EPO best I’ve on in a uh so well 11th games grows and expands in you’re off start looking forward to seeing in the years ahead that it today though thank as see you time take easy
