Last Epoch Patch 1.1.7.11 Notes

by EHG_Kain

Changes Added client support for system updates Added performance telemetry information for tracking FPS and frame hitches to support continued performance improvement efforts Notes This patch requires rolling server restarts to get the servers up to version. We have also started a count-down notification in game for the server shutdown. We expect the server downtime to be very short, as it’s just a restart for the update.

World of Last Epoch | Creating the Universe

by EHG_Kain

Hello Travelers, and welcome back for the fourth installment of Making Last Epoch! For today’s look at the world of game development within Eleventh Hour Games, we’re going to be taking a look at World Design and Narrative with our resident Lore Master and Lead Writer: Kyle Melberg. Kyle has made a couple of guest appearances on our weekly Developer streams to answer questions about the lore of Eterra, and today we’ll be talking about what exactly “World and Narrative” is, and the process behind creating the expansive universe in which all the loot, lizards, and groles reside. World & Narrative vs. World Design Let’s start off by getting an explanation of what exactly “World and Narrative”, and “World Design” are as concepts in game development, and what separates two aspects of design that come together to help form the player’s experience. Both of these aspects work together to answer the questions in a way that feels satisfying: Where is the player? What are they fighting? Why are t...

Last Epoch is ready to fight for the ARPG crown as it dates Season 2 launch

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Despite a strong showing from Blizzard's Diablo 4 DLC Vessel of Hatred and a promising first swing by Grinding Gear Games with the early access launch of Path of Exile 2, it was Last Epoch that claimed the spot as my favorite ARPG of 2024. Indeed, as we wait on news of the next PoE 2 update and D4 Season 7 proves robust but unadventurous, I've seen increasingly more people joining me in casting their gaze back to Last Epoch. Now, Eleventh Hour Games confirms when its major Season 2 upgrade is set to arrive. Read the rest of the story...

Eterra Monthly: January 2025 Edition

by EHG_Kain

Hello Travelers! It’s time for another recap with January 2025’s Eterra Monthly! Let’s see what we have in store! Hotfix Rollout We released two fixes in January, one that fixed a minor menu-based UI issue and another that fixed an issue that caused low FPS under certain circumstances. Eyes on Eterra In preparation for Season 2, we are continuing to squash bugs and have made some changes internally like the following (this isn’t all of them of course, just a little appetizer): Changes Character stat sheet entry for Less Damage over Time Taken Fixes Fixed the Character Stats UI entries for “Less Damage Taken” and “Less Damage Taken from nearby enemies” Fixed a bug causing the extra spears created from the Divine Fury node or the Sierpin’s Fractal Tree item while the Siege Barrage node was allocated would not be fired from the correct position when cast onto large enemies. Fixed a bug where Smoke Bomb with the Cloaked Incursion node allocated would not visually expand Fixed a bug where c...

Bug Fixing Last Epoch | Eradicating the Nest

by Wick93

Hello and welcome, Travelers to another exciting entry of Making Last Epoch. Today we have the pleasure of hearing from Anna Lyon, the Senior Technical Quality Assurance Tester for Last Epoch. She will be walking us through the Bug Fixing Process and how the team prevents Bugs from entering the live build of Last Epoch. Bug Hunting Locating the nest https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/f/1f8ff2838936e831d6c401f5b4d32b6099eb5cc7.jpeg Bugs are collected through our In-Game Bug Reporting tool which players use to tell us when they’ve found something that isn’t as it should be. Alternatively, Bugs are caught internally and we make Bug reports through our studio communication. Then automated tickets are made within our task tracking system in order to better organize the severity of the situations. How to decide what is a Bug and what is a local issue. We have a couple of ways. One is that local hardware problems would be more rare. It would be a problem that looks stra...

Despite declining numbers, Last Epoch devs claim it's "far from dead"

by editor@pcgamesn.com

It feels like there's been an ARPG renaissance over the past couple of years. 2023 marked the return of the OG dungeon crawler with Diablo 4, then 2024 saw the triumphant arrival of Path of Exile 2. Last Epoch, however, was primed to take its place at the top, with over 264,000 players diving in when it launched back in February of last year. Now, that number is barely breaking 2,500, with its last big event taking place in October and Season 2 set for April. As a result, some claim that the game is "dead," but game director Judd 'Moxjet200' Cobbler assures us otherwise. Read the rest of the story...

New Last Epoch updates make it a serious contender to Path of Exile 2 in 2025

by editor@pcgamesn.com

The early access launch of Path of Exile 2 was an excellent conclusion to a year of extremely fun ARPGs. But prior to both that and Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, Last Epoch kicked off 2024 with its full 1.0 launch, and proved itself a fantastic choice for anyone who loves smashing through hordes of enemies and getting stacks of loot. As special as PoE 2 feels, it's still got a lot of work ahead of it, and right now I'd actually recommend Last Epoch to a new player wondering what to buy first. As it looks to Season 2 in 2025, EHG's list of changes promise to ensure it stays a real contender. Read the rest of the story...

by EHG_Kain

Welcome Travelers to the Eterra Monthly December 2024 Edition! We hope everyone had a happy holiday season and fantastic new year! Another month has passed, and we’re here with our boots on the ground to bring you the latest from Eterra! Eterra’s Path Forward Our team has heard that the Cartographers have released a new map detailing the Road forward to better aid intrepid travelers on their journey. Our field reporter journeyed out to get a first hand look at what travelers can expect to find in the wilds of Eterra, let’s hear from them! "Setting off from The Surface, I followed my usual rambling route towards Shrouded Ridge to get a look at these Dungeon Improvements! Through Lightless Arbor, then a quick hop, skip and waypoint from Corrupted Lake to Risen Lake, I made my way to through the Soulfire Bastion giving a quick nod to the Gambler before popping out at Kolheim Pass to poke my nose into the Champions Arena. While there I used that waypoint to pop over the Ruined Cost, said h...

by EHG_Kain

Hello Travelers, Today, we’re sharing our updated Roadmap, letting you take your first look at what’s coming for Last Epoch, including what big features to look forward to in Season 2. Let’s look at what’s on the board with an updated Roadmap graphic before jumping into more information about Season 2. https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/optimized/3X/7/e/7e680eac8d82e740f4f8c8158566af21cdee5900_2_812x456.jpeg As mentioned in our last update concerning the Season 2 timeline (previously referred to as “Patch 1.2” - https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/patch-1-2-timeline-1-1-event-updates-and-cycle-poll/73654 ), we’ve restructured the features we’ve been working on for Season 2 to specifically address the greatest areas of feedback: expanding endgame content, better new player experience, and improved Dungeons, performance, and balance. While The Weaver’s presence has been previously known through namesake items, Season 2 will begin to truly bring her influence into the world of Eterra. ...

Modelling Last Epoch | From Idea to Implementation

by Wick93

Hello again Travelers! We’re back with our second Making Last Epoch blog post and today we are joined by Wellington Weishaupt, our 3D Modelling Manager! He’ll be sharing some insight into the process behind creating the in game models for the Acolyte’s Necropolis Gear and the Ronin MTX, from ideation to creation to implementation. Over to you Wellington! Concept? Art! https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/optimized/3X/8/5/85cd687c6645c11181313f022086b3bbdf111933_2_812x510.jpeg Everything starts with a concept or idea that should be modelled, rigged, animated and, later on, implemented into the game where players will be able to put their hands on it. Some concepts or ideas might need adjustments during each stage in order to work properly in game, from both a visual and technical perspective, in order to reach the best quality possible while respecting all the limitations. I will be using two gear sets I really enjoyed working on, the Necropolis gear for Acolyte as well as the Ro...

Last Epoch dev has solutions for some of the Diablo rival's biggest frustrations

by editor@pcgamesn.com

Path of Exile 2 is so close I can almost taste it, and promises to be something truly special. But until it arrives to prove itself, and despite the many hours of fun Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred has provided, Last Epoch remains the best new ARPG I have played so far this year. Yet, as with any new game, there are always those little frustrations that get in the way, and they start to become more irritating as your relationship with it lengthens. Happily, we live in a world where such issues can be fixed, and developer Eleventh Hour Games shows it's been listening to players in a new blog post announcing some much-needed improvements.

Eyes on Eterra Travelers, we’ve said it so often it hardly needs repeating, but the feedback we receive is so critical to the decisions we make in the studio. So, please continue to share your thoughts and ideas with us no matter how big or small. An incredibly long list of this feedback is already in the works and being morphed from idea to reality.
