Minority Mindset

In response to spazz54163’s post, it was generally agreed that fish traps need lure or bait to catch their elusive prey. Soupmom314 simply stated, “They need bait,” while Oracle_of_Ages offered a bit more detail, explaining, “They can only hold one fish at a time.” This knowledge is vital for players starting out in Abiotic Factor as resource management is crucial for survival. The necessity of bait could pose a challenge for novice players who might not have the resources to effectively utilize traps yet.

It appears that lockers in the game serve as more than just stationary structures; they symbolize an obstacle to creativity and innovation for players who aim to build their ideal haven. In his initial post, inpartihard1 was seeking a solution to get rid of these lockers to make space for a new base. However, the feedback he received made him understand that those lockers are fixed parts of the game environment that players need to adapt to. As user MerriIl correctly stated, “Those lockers are part of the unchangeable game setting. They’re immovable objects.” This revelation can be hard to accept, especially when you feel like you’ve tried every trick except for summoning the magical game developers themselves to help with your storage issues!

In a mix of ruefulness and wit, SavagePrisonerSP begins by admitting, “I somehow missed the ‘Bench Upgrades’ at the top right corner of the screen.” Many gamers can relate, having spent prolonged periods in unfamiliar territory due to overlooking key features like SavagePragonnerSP. It’s a common predicament: players jump into the game with enthusiasm, intent on building a post-apocalyptic domain, yet fail to spare a moment to explore their environment. The Crafting Bench upgrade is much like an unread book on a shelf – you meant to read it, only to discover later that it could have significantly improved your life (or gaming experience)!

When user Diabo1492 shared their puzzlement over blueprint research in Raft on PS5, they brought up a challenge that resonated with many newcomers to the survival sandbox game. “Greetings,” the user began, introducing their experience, “my friend and I have just started playing Raft on our new PS5.” They embarked on an adventure fraught with confusion, as they explained that they had gathered blueprints, built a research table, but were left perplexed when the blueprints they inserted seemed to be labeled as ‘already researched,’ despite their aspirations for crafting remaining unrealized. In essence, the user was stuck in a loop of déjà vu—a situation that wasn’t about lacking instructions but rather, understanding the intricacies of game mechanics. Fortunately, fellow players were eager to lend a helping hand and clarify this peculiar predicament.

New players of Last Epoch often struggle with the overwhelming amount of loot, a concern shared by many. As they aim to master the game’s mechanics individually, they also grapple with the daunting fear of overlooking valuable items. Experienced players advise newcomers to start by discarding common white and blue items first. User HDDreamer simply said, “Filter out whites ‘n blues,” offering a practical solution for early management of incoming loot. This advice resonates because it not only reduces confusion but also helps players focus on finding useful gear, rather than sorting through unneeded items like worn cloaks and damaged swords when they’re searching for that game-changing piece for their character.

In Last Epoch, affixes can bring either excitement or disappointment, greatly influencing a player’s journey and performance. NotBrom8 started an engaging discussion by alluding to the unattainable perfection of affixes, which sparked a wide range of reactions from amusement to frustration. xDaveedx charmingly commented, “What a classic!” suggesting he enjoys the continuous tale of affixes that offer dreams but often deliver disappointments instead. Regardless if you’re chasing the perfect affix or encountering the misery of finding your prized item cursed with the “Nemesis” affix – infamous for its rudeness – the community’s discourse reflects both fondness and irritation. How often have players been let down when they discover their new, gleaming equipment is adorned with unwanted affixes instead of the coveted stats they anticipated?

Users playing ‘Last Epoch’ on the Steam Deck are reporting a variety of experiences, ranging from smooth gameplay to significant performance issues. For example, a user named _Repeats_ shared their disappointment as their gaming experience was marred by technical glitches, particularly mentioning that they had to lower all settings to the minimum and use CryoUtilities to prevent a memory crash just for the game to be somewhat playable. This problem seems to echo the sentiments of other players who have encountered similar technical difficulties, noticeably in certain parts of the game where the frame rate dropped drastically below 10 fps.
