Also, 2 weeks ago Last Epoch disabled family account sharing because it was being abused for real money trading:
We have unfortunately had to disable family sharing on Steam for Last Epoch.
This feature enabled the use of significant RMT (Real Money Trading) and Botting options, and was removing our ability to ban/remove accounts, faster than they could share them with their entire networks.
I don’t think any one specific thing is responsible for this change, but the 5 account limit seems like it would certainily be a welcome change for the Last Epoch devs.
Who gives a shit about people spamming then? They only drop common samples so at best all anyone can get from spamming them is xp, credits, warbonds, and the first tier of ship module upgrades if they grind them.
There’s no value in XP after 20, no value in credits past your first ~50k when you have all the strategems you’re interested in, warbonds are nice but mostly useless except for the boosters and breaker (which just got nerfed), and the first tier ship modules are just quality of life improvements which everyone should be able to get easily anyways after 20 hrs of play.
Oh yeah. I’m not saying it would fix everything. I think it would help take some of the edge off on the difficulty navigating the biome though. I’m willing to work with some wonkynes, I just don’t like the entire biome to be a blind folded crap shoot.
I think something that would at least make it not quite as bad would be to have the middle click/secondary attack for the fire staff be a rocket jump. That in combination with the feather cape would be cool because you could leap up mountain cliffs, out of melee combat, and above the mist to help give you an idea of where you wanna run to.
Also, it would be available as a moderately easy to acquire gear upgrade. After you’ve got the 5 black cores from one or two infested mines, you’ve got access to everything else you need to each item without too much difficulty.
I love it so much. Especially starting a server with friends. The exploration and possibilities are endless. So many designs for buildings to try, looking for a new spot to put a base, etc.
I fucking hate the swamp and mistlands. Both feel like you run out of stamina continually. At least in the swamps once you’re geared to that tier you handle the combat. In mistlands you go out exploring, can’t see shit, have 3 seekers and a soldier come running at you from all directions, and a gjall drop in from above you. Even if you’ve got all the magic set fully upgraded it’s just ball ache waiting for stamina and eitr to refill. Also the last 2 bosses are a pain. I still haven’t killed the mistlands boss.
In addition, I hate farming resources for building. It’s fine when you are building your first house, but then it becomes extremely boring.
But if any of my friends are like “yo, gonna do a Valheim run to get ready for Ashlands,” I’m in.
it doesn’t cost 30% to serve up the files and process some payments.
No, it doesn’t. It also doesn’t take $5 to make a cup of coffee, or $10 to make a plate of pasta, or whatever Netflix charges every month to serve up mundane low quality streaming video.
But unless you’re proposing ending capitalism to fix the problems with valve’s pricing model, there won’t be any change to it any time soon.
The only thing that will get valve to have more competitive pricing for video games publishers is if they have actual competition that can siphon away games from their platform. It’s not valve’s fault that everyone else has made inferior products.
And there’s nothing forcing you to publish on steam. If you don’t think 30% is a fair exchange for handling file distribution and payments, you can handle your own file distribution and payments. Your game isn’t forced to be on Steam.
Item drop rate, and chance for higher quality items will be higher. But that is to make up for the fact that you won’t have access to the entire aggregate market of drops. The highest tier item that can drop in solo mode is equivalent to the highest tier item that can drop in trade mode. But in solo mode your chances of actually seeing it drop for you are higher.
They’re not publicly traded, and the only shares are the ones that Tencent owns. The shares are worth whatever someone buys them for. The price doesn’t fluctuate because there’s no market with which they are traded on
I refunded on day 1 because their anti cheat was preventing it from launching on Linux. They had a fix out Friday night, so I repurchased and have put maybe 6hrs into it.
I’ve been playing the early access Starship Troopers Extermination over the last 6 months, and after 30 minutes of Helldivers I told my friend “they’ve made a better Starship Troopers game than the Starship Troopers game.”
There’s a couple bugs here or there, but just playing 4-man with the homies seems to have avoided all the matchmaking issues.
