you've barely scratched the surface at 10 hours. and if you are using a meta one button build, than you've only hurt yourself doing that. but yes monoloths/empowered monoliths get more challenging.

i dont know.. i was playing the game blind without knowledge..
i was the entire 10h in no time near death.. btw.. i play hardcore like any ARPG should be played.
Dont missunderstand me i dont want stupit oneshot ♥♥♥♥ out the dark like in diablo.. i want simply more challenge. bosses and mini bosses require a little bit of movement and this is ok.. but i could facetank most of the "void" zones without the need to drink a potion..

please give us the a costum difficulty menu.. to scale thing to our liking.. should not be hard to implement..

This is by far the easiest ARPG i have ever played.. sad..

Please tell me the game will be challenging after x more hours..

I also play Hc but that doesnt matter in this case so yes it will become more challenging not too challenging but u will use 5 skills there's evem mechanics like bladedancers mechanic where he needs to use 4 different skills in a row to get a dmg boost on the 4th wich require u to play smarter to get ur best dps

So you are the authority on how a game should be played? Go back to your bad game D4 Troll.

why is playing hardcore make me a Diablo4 troll.. yes i played Diablo 4.. like alot of people.. and i wasted alot of time in that game despite its boring gameplay..
Because of this i simply ask people with more hours played question that are important for me for this game..

If you really wanted things to be more challenging you could get and equip Cursed veteran's boots from the first map of the game when starting a new character.

50-75% less damage depending on area level for you and your minions.
100-200% more damage taken depending on area level for you and your minions.

Welcome to the aRPG genre

If you're playing Diablo 3 or 4 you'd know that the campaign is a 20 hour tutorial before the real end game, and that is why you can skip the campaign after you beat it once...

Just like Call of Duty, the real game is in the stuff you do AFTER you beat the campaign, if you're buying an aRPG for the epic story, you need to make sure they are going to actually be focusing their game around the story and not what the majority of them build it around which is an endlessly increasingly difficult end game

A big draw of aRPGs like this is the looting and mechanics and finding builds and challenging the big time content with your builds


If you go to maxroll and look up a step by step guide on how to get from 1 to 100 with as little difficulty as possible...then that is exactly what you did, you made it easy. Whether it is too easy is up to you...but yeah

Also did you get super lucky and find a legendary? That can drastically change how hard things are if you get a good drop, which is what an aRPG strives to do from a mechanical standpoint, looting and crafting gear to get to harder content is a big part of it


But yeah, don't expect an aRPG to have a hard campaign, especially if you can't adjust the diff


Diablo 4, all the guides "Level up on diff 1 until you are done with the campaign and are ready for high diff" and this isn't because Diff is hard, instead it is because there is not really any point in tuning the diff higher when you start out as the slight increase in what you get exp and drop wise isn't enough to justify spending 3 or 4 more seconds killing each enemy

It adds up quick

Now some games ARE their campaign and don't have a super endless mode, like older ones like Titan Quest and Sacred and others

its not playing hardcore, its insisting that a game should be played in a certain way, which is gatekeeping, which upsets some people, i like eggs

More complex than Diablo, simpler than PoE.

you know it shows if you own the game or not right ?

Yes, unfortunately it's too simple, the veil is slowly falling, people have more hours of play and are starting to see the mistakes.
I've played the game for about 500 hours now... since I only play this type of game, I also tested LE extensively... that means I played every single skill... unfortunately 90% of the skills are clunky, unbalanced or just plain simple no fun to play. Once you've played all the skills, this game has hardly any replay value because the campaign is just a pain after playing it several times and you noticed that this game doesn't have as much depth as the genre king.

Played the game for 100 hours, end game sucks, there is nothing to achieve, skills are not very fun at all, animations are bad and dont flow.

Its ok game, but has 0 replay value, I dont even want to make a 2nd or 3rd character, because I know the game is just boring.

I literally had more fun in Grim Dawn or Diablo 3, obviously PoE is at the top.

I really dont see how this game will survive

with PoE2 coming out, Diablo 4 maybe will improve, and then we have Grim Dawn 2, and Titan Quest 2.

Last Epoch needs like 4 more years of development, even then I dont know if they can get the flow of the game down, because the animations and classes are very clunky, and been like this for whole development cycle.

Not every game needs to be or should be overly complex. Just like every game doesn't need Soulsborne difficulty.
