In Patch 0.7.7 we will be implementing graphical improvements for many zones. Additionally, we will also be introducing new ambient sounds to help the world of Eterra feel more alive!

John the Vegetable Smasher has been working to add the sounds of rivers, birds, and plenty more besides so that your time in the world of Eterra is a little more immersive.

Here are a couple of short teasers we've prepared;

We are currently performing a pass over zones in Last Epoch to improve their lighting, replace some lower quality assets, and address some feedback that Chapter 1 feels a bit too 'idyllic'.

We've gathered a collection of Before & After screenshots;



Due to shader improvements also coming in Patch 0.7.7, these graphical improvements will be joined by significantly improved performance in most outdoor zones.

Make sure to check back tomorrow for more news!

Lagon.

God of the West, Lord of Sea and Storm - and star of our beta trailer!

Created by Eterra eons ago, this unpredictable deity will be making his imposing presence felt in Chapter 8. Will you survive your encounter with this ancient and terrible creature?





Patch 0.7.7 is shaping up to be one of our largest updates ever! This huge content patch includes Lagon’s Temple. Closer to the release of Patch 0.7.7 we will be explaining how we plan to convey the sense of being underwater without any of the awkward movement and combat associated with the oceanic zones seen in other games.





On behalf of the entire team, I sincerely want to thank you for the incredibly positive response to our recent update, Patch 0.7.6. We spent longer than usual testing this update prior to its release, which seems to have been reflected in the feedback we've seen.

The Idols feature and streamlining of the first couple of chapters, in particular, were very warmly received. We’re excited to be working on new content again - and we look forward to telling you more about Patch 0.7.7 over the coming weeks.

[h3]Idols[/h3]

• Made generic idol affixes much rarer on class specific idols. Having generic affixes is important so players don’t get unlucky and have no idols that benefit them, but they were too common compared to class specific affixes.
  
• Rebalanced many idol affixes
  
  • Many class specific affixes have been buffed.
    
  • Class specific leech affixes have been nerfed.
    
  • Less damage taken affixes have been nerfed (and no longer actually granted reduced damage taken).
    
  • Generic health and protection suffixes have been nerfed.

Ice Ward

• Unclouded Mind now grants 10% increased mana regen per point (from 25% reduced mana drain), and can have 3 points allocated (from 4).
  
  • The previous effect could make other skills that drain mana free.
