Summary

Highlights

Endgame

• We're bringing fresh content to the Monolith of Fate, and we'll post about this soon!
• This patch also includes 5 new Arena maps!

User Interface

• This patch includes Tooltip DPS, a Phase 4 item from our Early Access Forecast.
  • We're also redesigning our skill tooltips, as shown in the thread linked to above.
• Your characters now wear their equipped gear on the character selection screen.

Items

• We are introducing powerful new skill level-raising affixes.
• We are working on significant changes to defences.
• We have reworked how affixes are distributed between prefixes and suffixes and which items they roll on.
• This update introduces new, class-specific Relics.
• Sceptres now have new 2d art, new 3d art, and new implicit properties.
• Shields now have new 2d art, new 3d art, and new implicit properties.
• We've updated all unique items implemented before Patch 0.7.7 (March 2020).

Skills

• A new Spellblade skill, Surge, is being added.
• A new Beastmaster skill, Warcry, is being added.
• The Mage skill Fire Shield is being removed.
• The Beastmaster skill Flanking Strike is being removed.
• We have revisited every skill in the game to better standardize our specialization trees.
  • Older skills should now be appreciably more viable in challenging content.

Animations

• All animations used by non-transformed Primalists have been replaced or improved.
  • We plan to improve Werebear Form and Spriggan Form animations in future.
    • We are also exploring model improvements for these skills.

Level Design

• We've performed a pass on many zones to improve their appearance. These updates were concentrated on Chapter 5 and Chapter 3, but we've touched up other zones as well.
• We haven't specifically posted about these, but you might have found a teaser.

Optimization

• Significantly optimized visual effects that appear around the character during skill usage.
  • While these are not the most significant contributors to poor performance, this is the first update to include work from a long-term project of ours to dramatically improve combat performance in Last Epoch. We will be gradually rolling out this optimization work to additional areas of the game across future updates.
• Optimized the performance of outlines applied to enemies and allies on mouse-over.
  • They should also now look better.

Key Features

• 15 Mastery Classes
  Begin your adventure as a base class which can then specialize into one of three Mastery Classes. When specializing into a certain Mastery you will be able to access new skills and specialize your playstyle!
  
• Customize each skill
  Every active skill has its own augment tree that can completely change how the skill functions. Transform your skeletons into archers, your lightning blast into chain lightning, or make your serpent strike summon snakes to fight alongside you!
  
• Lose yourself in the item hunt
  Fill your arsenal with magic items you craft to perfection, change the rules of your build with powerful unique and set items, and always have that next upgrade just on the horizon with Last Epoch's randomized loot system.
  
• Explore a vast world throughout time
  The world of Eterra is home to many factions and secrets. Travel to different points in time to change the world's fate, and fight to set it onto a new path.
  
• Endless replayability
  With a wealth of classes and skills to customize, deep game systems, randomized loot, and continuing development, Last Epoch is a game that will keep you coming back.
  
• Easy to learn, hard to master
  We're committed to making our gameplay approachable through breaking up the required learning and being transparent. At the same time, overcoming some of the most challenging content will require deep knowledge and pushing your build to its limits.
