Last epoch has a lot of potential to be a game I can come back to every time there's a new cycle and a game in which I can pour hundreds of hours into, but it's in current state that's not the case. Last epoch has a lot of mechanics that artificially impede your progress to make the game a slog to get through in the end game. To get BIS items or even decent endgame ones requires a player to get lucky outcomes on several mechanics 2-3 times in a row. A 10-15 hr grind for a single item can end up with a bricked unusable item. The mechanics for progressing monoliths (the end game mechanic) are also made in a way where you have to go through the most mind numbing grind to get wanted corruption, drops, blessings, etc. The game is extremely rough around the edges with it's mechanics and not to mention bugs (especially when playing in party). If these edges are smoothed out I can see myself putting thousands of hours into this game over the next couple years.

v1.0 was fine.
v1.1 SUPER FPS DROPS, anything you do just always FPS drops, lags, random disconnects, entering dungeon -> disconnects, basically anything you do, or you get disconnected or MASSIVE fps drops, frustrating. Gameplay: imbalanced bosses as hell, they hit you for nothing or insta kill.
