Eleventh Hour Games Comments on Snapshotting Issues in Last Epoch
Published on: 5/1/2025
Eleventh Hour Games has provided a brief but significant update regarding the Necromancer class and the ongoing concerns about snapshotting in Last Epoch. Simple Reddit response from EHG's Judd Cobler, known as Moxjet200 on Reddit, stated quite plainly: We’re working on preventing snapshotting and hoping to deploy the change with the season three release. While the statement was short, it confirms that a fix to prevent snapshotting is in the works, aimed at being implemented as part of the Season 3 release.
The discussion around snapshotting surfaced alongside broader concerns on Reddit about the Necromancer class, a key summon-based archetype in Last Epoch. Given its heavy reliance on minion mechanics, players naturally sought clarification on whether adjustments were incoming. While Eleventh Hour Games acknowledged the issue and confirmed plans for a fix, they did not provide specifics on other potential changes to the class itself.
Many players find the idea of snapshotting the only way to play certain skills considered weaker than others in the game's current skill balance. Previously, EHG worked hard during their Tombs of Erased testing to elminate a snapshotting problem with the Falconer Class prior to launching their latest season to players. Their stance will remain the same going forward, and plan on addressing the issue by 'fixing' any instances of snapshotting that players might be using.
As for now, players will need to wait for Season 3 for the snapshotting resolution. Last Epoch has just launched its Season 2: Tomb of the Erased update.
