Played a bit of LE last night. Still a solid game which is well worth the time for ARPG heads.

Also, PoE2 severely needs seamless KB+M/Controller support. I might put more time into LE than PoE2 just for that single reason.

POE2 is just boring SSF. I absolutely hate trading in ARPGs. Nothing feels better than seeing a natural drop upgrade you, which LE does great. So does diablo. Path of Exiles basically forces people to trade with how bad drop rates are for gear and definitely currency.

I don’t mind trading in PoE. Trading is an essential part of the game and it works fine. For a FTP game I almost see it as essential to have some type of economy

But yea LE is a superior solo/SSF game.

I don't know why but I hate trading in ARPGs. Feels like it takes away the experience for me. That said, PoE 2 loot could use a buff but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

I don’t see why they refuse to just adopt the first game’s crafting, which would solve this.

Played about 30 minutes of Last Epoch....:francis:

Hype got me on this one. Just like Sparking Zero :snoop:

Flaws and all, PoE2 looks and plays much better. And was $5 less on top of that.

I'm sorry, but LE doesn't look that good to not be going above ~45 fps on my Ally X even on Low.

I'm gonna stick with it because it probably opens up but right now...:huhldup:

New update has definitely made loot better than it was when 0.2 dropped. I'm actually getting better gear and exalts now
That's a fact. Played a bit last night for the first time in a while and got some good ish off one T3 map, including a qstaff for my monk that would've been sick had i not bought one in the market for an Ex a month ago.

I came back and decided to do a fresh start run w/ a warrior totem build, but I got a lucky Tangletongue drop, so I decided to give Lightning Spear a go, and what the heck? That is busted. It's super-fun though. I'll probably used it to speed-farm maps, so I can finance the totem build.
