Last Epoch latest patch feels really good

Oof. This thread has been dead for a year :D Who's looking forward to season 3?

TBH i want to be hype for this new season.

theres many things that LE does which cater to me much more than poe.

such as

1. can enjoy seasonal content on "standard" without being forced into a reset league.

2. abundant crafting currency that encourages me to craft my own gear

3. crafting doesnt require a PhD, and crafting tho having an RNG aspect can produce pretty good results even if you dont get what you want.

the only reason why i m not too hyped is the existence of aspirational content that actually drops some BIS gear.

i m fine with aspirational content if it feels optional. but the gear simply is just that strong.

in a ways you feel forced to use a meta build, or else you have to live with the knowledge you're likely not going to clear the boss.

the end game becomes just another poe.

i might as well play poe at that point.

tho LE still has time and room to grow/change.

The game lacks lasting appeal, unfortunately. It also suffers from the high skill level (no, not that) issue - some skills, like rain of arrows (don't know how it is called in LE) have an unreasonable requirement. Same thing in PoE 2 actually. Playing through the start of the campaign while lacking more than half of your toolset feels really bad.
