Alam Moana Travelers, welcome to another Last Epoch video. As of recording this, we are about 6 hours away from the 1.1 cycle launch, and I am quite excited, as I'm sure you are. However, unlike many of you, I think I'm going into Last Epoch 1.1 with a bit of a different approach, and that is the fact that I have not done any build research. Really, sure, I've watched a few YouTube videos here and there, but instead of planning out my cycle starter, instead of looking at Last Epoch tools and a whole bunch of build guides across the internet and formulating exactly how I'm going to begin this cycle to ensure that I can down that new Pinnacle boss at endgame, I am going in blind. I played a falconer last time with acid flask. I thought it looked cool. I tried to follow a guide there by Ziky D, didn't quite pan out. So instead, this time I'm going on pure vibes alone. I looked at the class set. I looked at

all the masteries, and I decided instead of following a build guide, I'm just going to play a mage G run master and pick what skill seems cool and pick up what items seem powerful. As I progress, we're going to see how that goes. I've praised last Epoch a lot in the past for being intuitive and allowing for this style of gameplay, and except for playing before 1.0, I've always gone with this sort of wing-it play style. Now with 1.1, with it being a much fuller game, with it having a broader end game, with a lot more items, and many of the skills actually being balanced now, I'm quite excited to see how this pans out. I'm curious how many people out there are actually doing the same thing wherein instead of picking out a build from a YouTuber or on the last Epoch forms or Max roll, they're just going in the game, and they're saying, I am going to play what is cool, and that's it. How far will I actually make it into the end game with

this approach. I'm hoping that I can down all of the usual timeline bosses. I'm hoping I can beat the harbingers, and I really hope I'll somehow be able to take down this new Pinnacle boss. I know that I won't be the first, but as long as I can actually bring him down, I will be satisfied. Abath will fall. I'm curious though, if you aren't taking this approach, what are you playing? Because I have looked at a few content creators out there, and I would greatly recommend if you don't want to take my approach. If you want to actually have a well-thought-out build that will likely be able to down a lot of the bosses, as long as you have a little bit of skill, you check out Dreadful. Dreadful puts out a lot of last OT content, and it's consistently genuine. I'd say high quality, and he's really straight with you. If something's bad, he'll tell you. If something's good, he'll also let you know. Max roll is an okay.

Source: They won't give you the most broken stuff out there. They'll give you something reliable and something that you know won't be fixed in a bug fix patch during the cycle. Otherwise, I would really recommend truly. Instead of following someone else's build, you copy what I'm doing. It feels good. It feels like you're back in the Elder days, you know, when you just sit down at your computer, you boot up a game, and then you just go in and make a character the way you wanted to make it. We talk a lot about Diablo I, Diablo 1, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, all these games from an era wherein content wasn't readily available online. Sure, there were forums and the like where you could read written guides. There wasn't YouTube where you could get the exact build, playthrough, and exactly what the build could do in mere seconds. You'd actually have to try to search and forage for this information in gameplay guide books, physical books, or on some obscure forum. And that was a great time, really. It forced you to challenge your Notions of

of what was successful in the game. You were playing it forced you to innovate. It forced you to look at what you were finding and repurpose it for something that works for your current build or to pivot entirely if you decided to do so. I used to do that all the time in Neverwinter Nights one, which was my favorite game of my childhood. I tried to do this as much as I can in Path of Exile, but let's face it, in Path of Exile, you do need to do a lot more prep unless you want to put a lot more time in. That's what solo self-found is for, and not everyone has the time for that. Fortunately, I think Last Epoch presents players with that exact opportunity. You can just log into the game, choose a class, choose a Mastery, and go learn on the fly. Decide what you want to build with as you're playing. It really hearkens back to those feelings of me making my druid and my Necromancer in Diablo I, and I really want to replicate.

that here today, I will be streaming Last Epoch on Talkative Tri's Twitch Channel and on my Talkative Tri Extras page. So, if you would like to watch this live, see my thought process, see what I think is cool, see how you can go into this cycle, and just do whatever you think is awesome and succeed. I really hope to see you there. I will also likely be doing a giveaway in a few days, if not today, and there will be drops enabled. You want some sweet cosmetics, of course. Fortunately, they also provided me with a supporter pack, which was awesome. Thank you, 11th Hour Games, which I'll be showing off to all of you. And if you would like to help support the channel and encourage me to make more Last OT content and continue to improve the quality of my videos, look at that green screen, isn't that awesome. You can buy Last Epoch on my Nexus link for 20% off. Going to be 20% off for the next few days, if you haven't already bought it or you want to get it for a friend.

who hasn't played last Epoch, you can get it in the link in the description. Seriously though, I am so excited to delve into 1.1. My goal for this cycle is to down that Pinnacle boss with a build of my own making. I'm so happy that last Epoch still seems to be in that stage, that beautiful golden era of a video game wherein everything isn't figured out entirely, and you can go into the game and beat the content currently available with a build that you have crafted yourself without being an expert in Path of Exile 1. Presently, that's very difficult to do if you're not an expert in all the game mechanics when it comes to character building, optimizing your gear, perfecting your route through this passive skill tree, knowing which skills to use. You'd find it pretty darn hard to beat the Uber bosses in that game. I don't think I'd be able to do it without oodles of research on Pue ninja or attempting to use path of building and using content that other content.

creators have put out on YouTube and the like in last Epoch. I think we're able to do that presently. I think we can make our own builds and beat this first Pinnacle boss that 11th Hour games is releasing, and that's super exciting. I can reenact my days of beating Diablo on, what is it, infernal? Was it hell difficulty in Diablo I with a build of my own design. I love those days. That was awesome. It was a simpler time, and maybe sometimes I'm really trying to recapture the simplicity of that era. People always talk about how days were better when they were kids, you know, the days were long, they were enjoyable at all times. Maybe it's just because of how we thought during those times, maybe it's just because of what we were doing then and what we're doing now. Our thought processes are obviously different between now and then, and I don't know, last Epoch is just making me think about all that. I'm very excited to play so.

My FAVORITE Way To Play Last Epoch Cycle 1.1: Harbingers of Ruin

Path of Exile's most positive and unhinged content creator.

Talkative Tri

1 cycle launch, but some, like the speaker, are taking a different approach by not doing any build research and instead relying on their instincts and intuition to choose their gameplay path.

The speaker plans to play as a mage G run master and pick skills and items based on what seems cool and powerful, rather than following a specific build guide.

This approach is made possible by the game's intuitive nature and the broader end game and balanced skills offered in the 1.

If you're not into the speaker's approach, they recommend checking out Dreadful for well-thought-out gaming content.

Dreadful provides genuine and high-quality information, offering reliable builds that won't be quickly patched.

The speaker also suggests the old-school approach of creating your own character, reminiscent of a time when gaming information wasn't readily available online.

Embracing Innovation and Flexibility in Last Epoch

Last Epoch encourages players to innovate and adapt their gameplay style, similar to the experience in games like Neverwinter Nights and Diablo I.

The game allows for on-the-fly learning, decision-making, and character building, reminiscent of the nostalgic gaming era.

The streamer will be showcasing the game on their Twitch channel, offering live insight into the gameplay and thought process, with a potential giveaway and drops for the audience.

The speaker is thrilled about delving into the 1.

1 update and challenging the Pinnacle boss with their own build.

They appreciate the opportunity to create and use their own builds without requiring expert knowledge, unlike in Path of Exile.

The game's nostalgic feel is reminiscent of the speaker's joy in beating Diablo with a self-designed build, sparking a desire to recapture that simplicity.
