| 26s | hello everyone and welcome to another |
| 28s | anthem livestream my name is Ben Irving |
| 31s | I'm one of the lead producers on the |
| 33s | project and today I will be your host |
| 35s | for the stream joining me we have two of |
| 39s | our amazing developers we have Francis |
| 41s | and Leah I will have them do intros in a |
| 43s | second the topic of our stream today is |
| 46s | going to be javelin personalization so |
| 49s | what that means is all the really cool |
| 51s | ways you can personalize the appearance |
| 54s | of your javelins and make yourself look |
| 56s | really amazing so we won't be covering |
| 59s | things like loadouts and gear and |
| 62s | weapons we're just going to be focusing |
| 65s | on the appearance of the javelin so |
| 67s | Francis and Leah do you guys want to |
| 69s | introduce yourselves please |
| 70s | yes I'm Francis lacunae and the |
| 72s | character director and hey everyone i'm |
| 75s | leanne Kooskia I'm a producer here on |
| 77s | the anthem team awesome welcome so for |
| 81s | the streams going forward kind of what |
| 82s | Mike and I thought we would do is we'd |
| 85s | probably rotate hosting the show and |
| 86s | then we'd bring on some of our awesome |
| 89s | developers who who know a lot more about |
| 90s | the inner workings of the game and than |
| 92s | we did and are responsible for building |
| 94s | it so before we dive into this system |
| 97s | Francis I just wanted to ask you you |
| 100s | know many moons ago when we were |
| 102s | thinking about hey how do we want |
| 104s | players to be able to to customize their |
| 106s | appearances what was some of the |
| 108s | philosophy that went into like what were |
| 110s | you guys trying to achieve yeah so the |
| 112s | nice thing was starting with the new IP |
| 113s | one thing we really wanted to do on |
| 115s | anthem was make some of the things we've |
| 118s | done in the past on Bioware games when |
| 120s | they came to direct your your appearance |
| 123s | in a lot of our other games like like |
| 125s | Mass Effect with Shepherd shepherd |
| 128s | always look great the party always |
| 130s | looked great but when it came time to |
| 134s | equipping new armors or if you get |
| 136s | upgrades throughout the game the armors |
| 138s | always looked a little less great now |
| 141s | were they're always a little flatter the |
| 142s | quality wasn't as good as it should have |
| 144s | been so on this with anthem what we did |
| 147s | was we established our visual target |
| 149s | first and that we deconstructed that and |
| 152s | rebuilt the entire personalizations mr. |
| 154s | around that with all the stuff you see |
| 156s | of all our trailers our cinematic assets |
| 158s | it is built with the same tools that the |
| 161s | players will have to customize direct |
| 164s | awesome and can we go in one level a |
| 167s | little further yep so the next question |
| 170s | is fuel eeeh so so Francis and the team |
| 173s | had these lofty goals of being able to |
| 175s | do all this amazing stuff which |
| 176s | inherently is quite complicated and and |
| 179s | you and your team had to build a system |
| 180s | that supported this so before we dive |
| 183s | into how it all works can you tell us a |
| 185s | little bit about how you guys went into |
| 187s | about designing the system yeah |
| 190s | absolutely so I think for most of our |
| 192s | UIs and the user experience is really |
| 194s | driven around the idea that it should be |
| 197s | frictionless easy to use and sort of |
| 199s | something that you can just spend time |
| 201s | really enjoying the work that Francis |
| 204s | has put together so I don't want to say |
| 207s | get out of the way but essentially get |
| 208s | out of the way and so really what we've |
| 212s | done here is the forge which is where |
| 216s | you'll be able to customize your |
| 217s | loadouts we've put all these little |
| 219s | interaction points on the suit which are |
| 221s | your jumpring points into all the places |
| 223s | you can customize your XL and that's |
| 226s | your starting point cool and so we're |
| 229s | gonna dive in here a second but there's |
| 231s | a lot to there's a lot to digest here so |
| 233s | do you mind Lea just describing what are |
| 236s | kind of the main sessions for how you |
| 238s | can customize your appearance and then |
| 240s | we'll have Francis dive in and we'll get |
| 242s | going sure so as you can see Francis is |
| 245s | sort of hovering around the different |
| 246s | points we've got elements that can |
| 249s | change sort of the silhouette of your |
| 251s | suit and then elements that are going to |
| 253s | be able to change how they look so your |
| 255s | helmet your arms your legs are all |
| 259s | towards the silhouette and then we've |
| 261s | got things like Oh in the chest and then |
| 263s | of course your paints your vinyls and |
| 265s | your wear state we'll all adjust the |
| 267s | physical appearance of the suit and then |
| 270s | ultra special very fun animations which |
| 273s | will be for your moats your landing ends |
| 275s | in the victory pose awesome so I think |
| 278s | what we're going to try to do today is |
| 282s | will do the Ranger and we'll try for |
| 284s | three appearances and so Francis is just |
| 287s | going to do here |
| 288s | MAGIX and we're all watching all maybe |
| 291s | gonna stop with paint but why don't you |
| 293s | take us away Frances sure thing now in |
| 295s | the paint options we have six regions on |
| 298s | your exosuit that you can customize |
| 300s | they are very in-depth region it's not |
| 305s | just the color like how we've done in |
| 307s | the past and there are other games it is |
| 308s | a full material so if I go into here I |
| 311s | can pick a main region here and I can |
| 315s | apply a physical material to that it's |
| 318s | like the metal for the fabric pattern |
| 322s | fabric and so one of the rhythm of one |
| 326s | of the things again here is when you're |
| 327s | picking these materials it's not just |
| 329s | the color it is the physical material so |
| 333s | that effect affect the reflectance the |
| 335s | smoothness and the color of the material |
| 337s | and I love the patterns because they can |
| 342s | have two colors I realized that I forgot |
| 347s | to do some disclaimers so shame on Ben |
| 351s | but a couple disclaimers real quick |
| 353s | we're going to show you a lot of stuff |
| 355s | that's in here not all of it is |
| 357s | available at the very beginning some |
| 359s | things you unlock through the game in |
| 361s | various ways we also today don't want to |
| 363s | talk about how many things there are how |
| 366s | you unlock them other things that that |
| 368s | you pay for other things that you can |
| 370s | earn in-game that's all a topic for a |
| 373s | different time we just want to focus on |
| 374s | the really cool ways you can customize |
| 376s | your appearance so I just wanted to make |
| 378s | sure that was clear that you know none |
| 381s | of what you see in here is either the |
| 383s | total amount or a subset of them out |
| 384s | we're just not really going into that we |
| 386s | just want to focus on showing you guys a |
| 387s | bunch of cool stuff today yep yep so I'm |
| 392s | going through here is I'm just kind of |
| 393s | resetting the default look of the Ranger |
| 396s | and I am putting in just a blank slate |
| 399s | just so just a white canvas the start |
| 401s | with spotting some random materials here |
| 407s | the fabric so once you've kind of picked |
| 411s | the materials that you like you can go |
| 413s | ahead and start picking the colors we |
| 416s | have a whole bunch of custom colors here |
| 420s | yes so you can actually make your own |
| 423s | color palettes as you see Francis has |
| 425s | been trying this picture out quite |
| 427s | heavily I expect we'll all spend a lot |
| 430s | of time doing this and you can use sort |
| 433s | of any color you want the full color |
| 435s | wheels available here there's tons of |
| 437s | really cool options and as you create |
| 440s | different colors they're all saved into |
| 441s | this palette so you can use them for |
| 443s | later yep so I'm just kind of pre |
| 446s | setting some colors that I want to use |
| 448s | here for customizing my Ranger so while |
| 456s | you guys are doing this we also have AJ |
| 458s | and Jesse helping us out on our |
| 461s | community team reading through the chat |
| 463s | for questions please just make sure you |
| 465s | guys ask questions as we go I think the |
| 468s | easiest way is if you all ask questions |
| 470s | about the section we're in at the time |
| 472s | then we can answer them as we go instead |
| 474s | of trying to wait till the end of do Q&A |
| 475s | so |
| 476s | so make sure you ask questions about |
| 477s | what you're seeing right now where do |
| 479s | you have questions on paint or materials |
| 481s | and then we can we can direct them to |
| 483s | Francis and Leah |
| 498s | all right so what are you trying to aim |
| 500s | for here France it's like do you have a |
| 502s | vision in mind of what you're trying to |
| 504s | achieve yeah I'm kind of going for for a |
| 506s | bounty hunter look cool I thought you're |
| 511s | gonna make me the Australian rugby union |
| 514s | jersey again well I can do that |
| 515s | it's fine maybe we could do that late a |
| 517s | little later I know when one doesn't |
| 522s | know about their friends so one of the |
| 528s | nice things is yeah once you've picked |
| 529s | your colors here you can go ahead and |
| 532s | just pick any material and colors will |
| 534s | store and they'll save so you don't you |
| 536s | know lose your settings you can go back |
| 537s | and iterate things on the fly yeah but |
| 542s | when you guys would trying to work out |
| 543s | the regions because I think it's |
| 544s | interesting we have those six different |
| 546s | regions how did you work out like how to |
| 548s | split up those regions so here are just |
| 551s | going through the regions from top to |
| 552s | bottom the regions are named in the same |
| 555s | way that the artists had originally |
| 557s | built the suit so the Ranger suits have |
| 560s | three hard surfaces and three soft |
| 562s | surfaces again the player can pick |
| 564s | whichever region they want but at least |
| 566s | gives them some guidance and as to where |
| 569s | these materials would look best so I |
| 571s | could go ahead in here and I could make |
| 573s | this a medal although it might look a |
| 576s | little weird that if it's for example on |
| 578s | the storm cape you'll be a little weird |
| 580s | to have a metallic cape you could go |
| 582s | ahead and do that if you want I |
| 584s | personally feel it looks cool but as an |
| 587s | artist it might be weird |
| 588s | I met okay but it still flows am i right |
| 591s | it does it's very shiny there's nothing |
| 596s | super shiny questions coming through |
| 599s | chat that I'll ask you guys so can you |
| 603s | make custom logos in-game no you cannot |
| 608s | currently make custom logos but you do |
| 612s | have the options let's hold vinyl yes |
| 619s | but yeah vinyls are effectively what |
| 623s | you're asking for they're not custom we |
| 624s | have a whole lot to show you and Francis |
| 626s | will show that off later so yeah the |
| 628s | answer is no for now will there be more |
| 631s | and more things |
| 631s | added once the game is live so the |
| 634s | answer that is yes absolutely we're |
| 636s | still trying to work out the plan for |
| 638s | all of that but our goal is to keep |
| 641s | adding more and more stuff forever as |
| 642s | long as we can think of cool things to |
| 644s | add we'll add more stuff to the game |
| 647s | final question for one of you guys at |
| 651s | the mem that we have will the Legion of |
| 652s | Don ARMA have all legs arms chest and |
| 655s | head as well yep so this is probably |
| 657s | good time to go dive into the liege the |
| 659s | dawn |
| 661s | ok so in here this is as Leah was |
| 665s | mentioning earlier we have the parts so |
| 667s | we can go ahead and start equipping |
| 669s | pieces of gear so for the Legion of dawn |
| 673s | arms go through picked a helmet and you |
| 677s | can the player can pick which ones they |
| 678s | want you have yes I think an interesting |
| 686s | thing you were explaining in a different |
| 689s | meeting Francis was how these pots work |
| 693s | like it's less about like equipping arms |
| 696s | as much as a bunch of attachments that |
| 698s | reflects that the character model do you |
| 700s | want to explain that just a little bit |
| 702s | right so each of the exosuits think the |
| 705s | base suit underneath the ranger the |
| 707s | colossus the storm and the Interceptor |
| 709s | all have an iconic look which is their |
| 712s | their lowest level form and then all the |
| 715s | part attachments that get added on top |
| 717s | they're topical although you can switch |
| 719s | out your helmet cool |
| 724s | so you're putting the Legion of Don |
| 727s | armor pack on which is available to |
| 730s | people that pre-order for the arranger |
| 734s | and if you buy the Legion of dawn |
| 736s | Edition you can get the Legion of dawn |
| 739s | Armour packs for all four javelins |
| 741s | available launch so what one question |
| 746s | and so many people have seen a legion of |
| 749s | dawn art on the website probably not |
| 752s | realizing that hey like that's the armor |
| 754s | pack but you can also customize it will |
| 757s | people be able to make it look exactly |
| 759s | like the image on the website yes |
| 763s | so what players will do what we will do |
| 766s | is we will release a set of materials in |
| 768s | here similar to this and we will have |
| 769s | them named Legion of dawn so that way |
| 773s | you give the players some guidance as to |
| 775s | how to replicate that look so they can |
| 779s | attach just all the Legion of dawn |
| 780s | materials to the regions and then just |
| 782s | pick the colors that they want to go |
| 783s | with it's pretty simple that one silver |
| 786s | and silver and gold you can't go wrong |
| 788s | it looks amazing there people are |
| 791s | excited a question for you Lia can we |
| 796s | save these personalization appearances |
| 801s | to loadouts yes absolutely so we do have |
| 804s | a section where you can store loadouts |
| 806s | for all your different javelins and edit |
| 809s | them change them if you like and it will |
| 811s | also store all of your gear and |
| 813s | customization as well so they'll be the |
| 815s | full package for you to build on awesome |
| 820s | have a bunch more questions coming in if |
| 823s | you guys have things to say just stop me |
| 825s | and keep talking but what are some of |
| 829s | the ways you can unlock new colors or |
| 831s | materials so again it's a good question |
| 834s | it's one of the things we don't want to |
| 836s | get into today so we're still working |
| 837s | out for all of vanity and all of our |
| 841s | personalization options how they're |
| 843s | going to be unlocked in the game and so |
| 844s | we're not really ready to share that yet |
| 846s | but we can share that at a later date |
| 847s | it's a really good question just I want |
| 850s | to talk about any of it right now |
| 853s | can you show how to use Legion dawn |
| 855s | appearances yes that's what we're doing |
| 858s | I think I just missed that question |
| 859s | earlier apologies |
| 862s | can you change the color of any of the |
| 864s | unique appearances yes is the answer so |
| 868s | that's kind of what Francis is doing now |
| 869s | with the legion of dawn |
| 871s | i'ma pax he's done a couple of different |
| 873s | colors which is really cool and I think |
| 878s | certain materials Francis they have |
| 880s | either just the paint color that you can |
| 882s | change and then all of our metallics |
| 884s | have quite a few different metallic so |
| 887s | metal with the way our physically based |
| 889s | rendering works is metal is has an |
| 892s | actual scientific value behind it so if |
| 895s | we start breaking that value it tends to |
| 898s | look not great in real light or leasing |
| 902s | the game lighting scenario so when you |
| 904s | the regions are contextual so if you |
| 907s | pick a metal for example so if you were |
| 916s | to pick these metals you would get a |
| 918s | different color palette range so these |
| 921s | are all physical real world metals in |
| 923s | real world so you have gold brass copper |
| 927s | nickel tin silver tungsten there's no |
| 930s | alien materials no these are all based |
| 933s | off real world metals so a question |
| 937s | while you're in this screen I think |
| 939s | maybe is can you zoom and rotate like if |
| 943s | you want to see more of the character |
| 945s | yeah so you have controls go ahead and |
| 947s | at each level be able to interact with |
| 949s | the exosuit awesome a question was will |
| 956s | there be a randomized features feature |
| 958s | for colors that's a great idea I will |
| 961s | take that one back the nice thing is we |
| 967s | so on this we have preset colors so we |
| 969s | the artists have already pre-selected a |
| 972s | wide range of colors so for people don't |
| 974s | have to every single time go through the |
| 976s | color wheel and have to pick it for |
| 978s | every single material and just so people |
| 981s | are aware we've also added white and |
| 983s | black values because I know that a lot |
| 985s | of people always ask for black |
| 989s | that kind of ties into a question I had |
| 991s | sermon but early on we were trying to |
| 994s | work out how the system would work to |
| 996s | have a lot of depth but also be simple |
| 998s | for people like me who aren't the best |
| 1002s | with fashion and we got to an |
| 1004s | interesting place where I think it's |
| 1006s | pretty straightforward for someone who |
| 1008s | doesn't want to spend too much time or |
| 1010s | isn't necessarily that good at this kind |
| 1012s | of stuff in making something look good |
| 1014s | do you guys want to describe a little |
| 1016s | bit like if you're a if you're a kind of |
| 1018s | low-key person who just wants to do |
| 1020s | something quickly how do we do that so |
| 1025s | so usually when you're in your loadouts |
| 1035s | so you will always whenever you create a |
| 1037s | new loadout you will get your default |
| 1040s | Ranger anyway so that's one we just go |
| 1046s | through this so as you create loadouts |
| 1048s | you can name them whatever you want I |
| 1050s | don't see if you'd be able to yes this |
| 1060s | is a really really great way that if you |
| 1062s | make a couple of things that that you |
| 1064s | really like you can swap between them |
| 1065s | easily you know but you can also just do |
| 1068s | stuff like hey go to all six regions and |
| 1071s | make them all black and that will just |
| 1072s | look pretty cool by itself so you don't |
| 1074s | have to like go through everything and |
| 1076s | spend lots of time although if you want |
| 1078s | to you can really make something that |
| 1080s | that kind of reflects your personal |
| 1082s | style and flair yeah I mean if I've got |
| 1086s | a whole bunch of friends playing here at |
| 1088s | work and I just want to get out I'll |
| 1090s | just grab the default and change up a |
| 1091s | few colors typically all-metal very fast |
| 1095s | while they're waiting for me so that I |
| 1097s | can play my favorite bender from |
| 1099s | Futurama look I'm always good no it's |
| 1105s | super quick you're in and out well |
| 1106s | everyone's readying up and you're also |
| 1109s | very shiny |
| 1111s | speaking of sizing yeah yeah so we do |
| 1117s | have wear options as well so again ever |
| 1120s | since everything is built in the layered |
| 1121s | fashion |
| 1122s | we kind of built it in the way so that |
| 1127s | the players can choose how they want |
| 1129s | their excellent to look do they want |
| 1130s | them to look all beat up do we want them |
| 1132s | to look dirty do we want them to look |
| 1134s | all chipped and painted or have chipped |
| 1137s | paint so the players can go ahead and do |
| 1140s | that or yeah just cover it in grime it's |
| 1144s | a little harder to see here so that let |
| 1147s | me just switch up the appearances since |
| 1149s | it is all material based if you have |
| 1153s | cloth and you put stains on it it'll |
| 1154s | stay in a bit more like cloth versus if |
| 1157s | you were if you had an all-metal suit |
| 1159s | though the wear would make the metal |
| 1161s | duller |
| 1162s | it would make it cover it the way the |
| 1164s | surface response of the the wear will |
| 1168s | react differently and I should also |
| 1173s | mention that you can as we're looking at |
| 1175s | this you can zoom in and out toggle on |
| 1177s | and off the little interaction points if |
| 1179s | you just want to spend time admiring |
| 1181s | your suit as well is a few of the |
| 1184s | options we've added in there as well as |
| 1186s | you can see not in this screen but in |
| 1188s | other ones there's lots of options so |
| 1189s | we've added filters as well if you want |
| 1191s | to quickly get into what you need |
| 1194s | awesome a question came through that I |
| 1199s | might we'll see the question is does |
| 1202s | this only affect your appearance as |
| 1205s | opposed to stats with things like the |
| 1207s | Legion of dawn armed attacks or been you |
| 1214s | want to grab it that's it yeah I can |
| 1216s | answer so basically there's two there's |
| 1219s | two big parts of the game one is power |
| 1221s | and one is vanity and so what we're |
| 1223s | talking about now is purely vanity |
| 1225s | personalization appearance all kind of |
| 1227s | synonyms I guess so everything we're |
| 1230s | doing now only affects how you look |
| 1232s | separately to that we have power which |
| 1235s | is gears guns and if you have a |
| 1238s | equippable parts we haven't really |
| 1240s | delved into yet and that's where you get |
| 1242s | your power and your stats so we've |
| 1244s | really tried to separate that so that |
| 1246s | you know there's one part of the game |
| 1248s | that's all about becoming powerful and |
| 1250s | then there's a different part of the |
| 1251s | game that's about you know changing your |
| 1253s | appearance to be the way you look and |
| 1256s | again how you |
| 1257s | call those things I don't want to go |
| 1258s | into today but for what we're looking at |
| 1260s | right now it's purely full your |
| 1262s | appearance another question can you |
| 1267s | apply a paint scheme to multiple |
| 1270s | javelins no we don't have that ability |
| 1276s | right now but I'm sure as we go into |
| 1278s | live service we can take some of that |
| 1280s | feedback and to make this even better |
| 1283s | for you but great idea one of those ones |
| 1293s | I'm recording silently good suggestions |
| 1298s | and things we don't have and I think |
| 1300s | this is a really really robust system |
| 1302s | but obviously like any system in any |
| 1305s | game there's a bunch of things we'd love |
| 1307s | to do going forward to improve it and so |
| 1309s | suggestions like that are really helpful |
| 1311s | for us sometimes they're things we |
| 1312s | thought about ourselves but sometimes |
| 1314s | they're not and so having those |
| 1316s | suggestions is great so thank you all |
| 1317s | for asking those questions I don't know |
| 1322s | if we know the answer this I don't but |
| 1323s | how many personalizations can you save |
| 1325s | per javelins so I guess that means how |
| 1327s | many loadouts can you have I know right |
| 1330s | now we're looking at that I believe it's |
| 1333s | currently set to 5 but expect that |
| 1335s | number to change as we go towards Japan |
| 1340s | cool all right so let's take a little |
| 1343s | breath from questions for a second where |
| 1347s | are we at I've been reading and not |
| 1348s | looking what do you wanna tell us where |
| 1350s | we at Francis what next we can probably |
| 1353s | look at the vitals now it's probably a |
| 1354s | good time fly kit there is a slight bug |
| 1356s | right now where when I select a loadout |
| 1358s | I hope you're keeping track of this one |
| 1361s | layout yes sometimes babes |
| 1364s | so yeah it's early |
| 1366s | that's plenty of so the finals again is |
| 1372s | to answer that question for the custom |
| 1373s | logos so here we have the final system |
| 1377s | so awhile we can customize your X you |
| 1380s | can customize your javelin and you can |
| 1382s | apply your materials you can pick your |
| 1383s | colors that's all nice and you can come |
| 1386s | up with some really cool designs but |
| 1388s | sometimes you just want a little bit |
| 1389s | more punch |
| 1390s | maybe a little reward for for doing |
| 1393s | things in the game |
| 1395s | just let me lift in addition you |
| 1397s | personalize your EXO give you a little |
| 1399s | bit of flair that's a lot of n7 plugins |
| 1406s | going on in chat to show you around |
| 1416s | and the question Frances these vinyls |
| 1422s | are they javelin specific no so the |
| 1426s | finals once you you have the vinyl it'll |
| 1429s | apply on any javelin you have and it |
| 1433s | should within reason look as good as it |
| 1436s | does on one javelin as it does on |
| 1438s | another can't always account for every |
| 1441s | single looking cranny on the exosuit |
| 1442s | that the the this little stripe might |
| 1445s | look in the exact same spot but it is as |
| 1449s | close as the artist can possibly get to |
| 1451s | making it look yeah like the spirit of |
| 1453s | the deco works across all the suits |
| 1455s | right like I think they look really cool |
| 1456s | I think you have a keener eye for it |
| 1458s | than many of us have though this is the |
| 1463s | one year this is the one that we made |
| 1464s | for bands specifically for 83 because he |
| 1467s | requested it it's inspired by their |
| 1474s | Jersey it's obviously not the Jersey it |
| 1475s | just uses the same colors which is cool |
| 1478s | I think this is what I use when I play |
| 1480s | everyday I do a question that's come up |
| 1487s | internally I don't didn't catch it in |
| 1489s | chat I think it might have been there |
| 1490s | was so you can change all the paint |
| 1493s | options for the all the other stuff |
| 1496s | we've seen but what about the vinyls can |
| 1498s | you change them at all how does that |
| 1500s | work no so we actually did we debated |
| 1504s | this topic for a long time and we tried |
| 1507s | to point full control for the player to |
| 1509s | customize deckle orange vinyl the |
| 1512s | problem with that is the amount of |
| 1515s | formats expense that it has on the |
| 1516s | system where you're you're tracking more |
| 1519s | parameters more data which it affect |
| 1523s | performance negatively |
| 1524s | and on top of that there was an added |
| 1526s | complexity so you would have to double |
| 1528s | up every single one of these menus to |
| 1530s | that player would have to not only know |
| 1533s | customize their at their personalized |
| 1535s | rec so they would also have to go |
| 1536s | personalize your very vinyl which seemed |
| 1539s | like an extra bit of work for a very |
| 1542s | little payoff first is the artist just |
| 1544s | making you know releasing these |
| 1546s | cool-looking one-off items which also it |
| 1549s | really does help to signify things like |
| 1551s | for challenges to have these iconic |
| 1554s | looking finals so you see another player |
| 1557s | who's done something you can see the |
| 1559s | vital that is associated with it yeah |
| 1563s | that's the but I was gonna say I think |
| 1564s | you know Ava's all the technical |
| 1566s | challenges and the user experience |
| 1568s | problems with it but I think even as a |
| 1570s | player experience to that exact point |
| 1572s | it's great when you can see something |
| 1575s | and identify it you know again what |
| 1577s | aren't we talking about how you get |
| 1578s | things but an example might be you |
| 1581s | complete a really difficult challenge |
| 1582s | and get a cool vinyl and then you can |
| 1584s | use that to show off to your friends you |
| 1587s | got it and if they can look at that and |
| 1589s | immediately relate that that's where it |
| 1590s | came from that's what it is I think |
| 1592s | that's a really cool way to show off |
| 1593s | even it's a little humble brag so the |
| 1598s | chat is demanding and I'm sorry they're |
| 1600s | demanding and seven people have spoken |
| 1604s | Francis did you I can't remember suit |
| 1610s | last week was the last week of the week |
| 1611s | before I was n7 day who knows what date |
| 1613s | it is anymore and so we kind of a |
| 1616s | randomly like hey we should make an n7 |
| 1619s | look and share it on social media fan |
| 1621s | seven day that's really cool and so did |
| 1623s | you make this van or did you have it |
| 1625s | made already I thought I made it it was |
| 1627s | done the night before this Evan can you |
| 1632s | so yeah I don't know if I need to |
| 1634s | replicate the exact look as Francis is |
| 1646s | doing this AJ and Jesse what are we like |
| 1649s | on time I mean we're happy to keep going |
| 1651s | a bit you just give us like a five |
| 1653s | minute countdown when you need us to |
| 1654s | start wrapping up |
| 1657s | so far so good guys okay great |
| 1662s | let you know so we're gonna do n7 is |
| 1669s | there anything big in chat you guys |
| 1671s | would like to see is there something |
| 1672s | that we haven't shown that you've seen |
| 1674s | in the menus that you think is cool or |
| 1676s | something you think we might have missed |
| 1677s | that you guys want to see this is an |
| 1686s | interesting question I think the answer |
| 1687s | is no and a mic go into our cool ideas |
| 1690s | for the future is there a way to match |
| 1693s | colors to the decals once you apply them |
| 1695s | no but that's a really good idea I don't |
| 1699s | know if we can add a color picker |
| 1700s | dynamically on top of the screen one or |
| 1705s | leg I'm not an artist let's be super |
| 1708s | clear but I don't know if you want the |
| 1709s | same colors d well that's kind of that |
| 1711s | is probably the person who asked that |
| 1714s | was they know this I was trying to match |
| 1715s | the color yeah I mean if you had it |
| 1723s | equipped in the paint section we could |
| 1725s | just have a section like an extra |
| 1728s | section with related colors so I am |
| 1733s | saving this up I'm just kidding |
| 1736s | make a high risk suggestion |
| 1743s | so chat is asking if we could see a |
| 1747s | different javelin so I think so first of |
| 1753s | all can we show a different one question |
| 1755s | mark right now we have some problems |
| 1757s | earlier okay sure so we select on so |
| 1759s | chat you get to demand you have to type |
| 1762s | a storm or interceptor and then we will |
| 1765s | pick whichever one has the most |
| 1772s | and also please give some some pogchamp |
| 1777s | for the n7 look cuz francis did it |
| 1779s | without rehearsal yes I can't feel super |
| 1787s | close for like a no-pressure in front of |
| 1792s | thousands of people this feels like a |
| 1795s | pretty good deal alright so the votes |
| 1800s | are in |
| 1801s | I've used my eyes skinny chef for five |
| 1804s | seconds popular and I think the storm |
| 1807s | was the winner so once we're done with |
| 1810s | this we might swap over to the storm |
| 1812s | Frances Lee your question to you so you |
| 1818s | know all the suits are different is |
| 1820s | there lots of different setup required |
| 1822s | for the different javelins like when you |
| 1824s | guys are building the system with that |
| 1827s | yes like each of them are set up with |
| 1830s | their own interaction points they |
| 1833s | actually have their own names for each |
| 1834s | of the regions some of them have more |
| 1836s | regions other ones yes there's actually |
| 1839s | quite a bit of custom work that goes |
| 1840s | into setting up each of these from the |
| 1843s | cameras and all that kind of stuff which |
| 1847s | makes it all really fun and cool and |
| 1849s | unique so we might do here Francis's |
| 1853s | let's let's spend like just two or three |
| 1855s | minutes oh we already have a cool |
| 1859s | alchemy but let's your three minutes |
| 1865s | fiddling around just showing anything |
| 1867s | you think is kind of cool or different |
| 1869s | about the storm and then we might take a |
| 1871s | few more questions and then we'll start |
| 1873s | wrapping it up because where we're |
| 1874s | starting to go over time here |
| 1881s | do you want to try emotes oh yes let's I |
| 1884s | don't know what they'll do on this storm |
| 1888s | no no listen I think have we ticked the |
| 1893s | box of we saw a different javelin and it |
| 1894s | looked really awesome I think we did |
| 1898s | we're still finishing a bunch of setup |
| 1900s | stuff so we want to show you guys some |
| 1902s | of the animations like emotes and things |
| 1904s | like that but we only check through them |
| 1906s | on the ranges so we just want to do that |
| 1908s | to be safe today so let's jump |
| 1929s | definitely eat all my shiny suits okay |
| 1937s | so we're gonna do the Ranger look at |
| 1938s | some of the animation stuff so things |
| 1940s | like emotes but we're also gonna call |
| 1942s | five final questions so the community |
| 1945s | guys will skim chat for the final five |
| 1947s | questions and as we do this will will |
| 1949s | answer them as we go and then we'll |
| 1951s | start wrapping up so you wanna just talk |
| 1953s | through Leah first like what are the |
| 1954s | sections in this screen represent sure |
| 1956s | so here you're able to set your victory |
| 1959s | pose which is at the end of all of our |
| 1961s | missions you get this really cool fun |
| 1963s | celebratory wrap up with your friends so |
| 1966s | you can set anything you want there |
| 1968s | your rival animation is anytime you |
| 1970s | enter the game at the start of missions |
| 1973s | or your helping other people and you |
| 1976s | make a grand entrance so you can set |
| 1978s | your arrival animation and then we have |
| 1980s | email you have any of them that we can |
| 1982s | show or you know they're not set up in |
| 1986s | there quite yet |
| 1986s | but we do have lots of entities |
| 1990s | yeah how cool you look when you enter |
| 1993s | the game is one for next time yeah |
| 1997s | there's lots of really fun emotes here |
| 1999s | right now we've got three of them that |
| 2001s | you can use picking game and there's |
| 2005s | just all sorts of great ones |
| 2010s | this is my favorite one finger guns yeah |
| 2013s | yeah |
| 2016s | that we're kind of playing emote |
| 2019s | roulette right now because we do not |
| 2021s | have custom icons in quite yet so yeah |
| 2025s | but they're all working pretty cool look |
| 2027s | great shout out to the team for sure so |
| 2032s | if you see these on the I've heard the |
| 2041s | Colossus doing a backflip is it's quite |
| 2043s | fun as well alright so I don't know a |
| 2048s | Jen Jessie if we have any of those |
| 2050s | questions coming through we should |
| 2051s | probably ask them when you guys have a |
| 2053s | second |
| 2054s | yeah for sure um one thing Ben that I |
| 2057s | wanted to touch on if you don't mind uh |
| 2059s | and Francis do you mind pulling back up |
| 2063s | the Legion of gone yes let me show that |
| 2066s | a little bit so a lot of people have |
| 2068s | been asking about Legion of dawn we've |
| 2070s | got a link a nifty link on how you you |
| 2075s | know get all that stuff Ben do you have |
| 2077s | that stuff in front of you or do you |
| 2078s | want me to go over it yeah yeah we can |
| 2081s | look at it real quick so again the |
| 2083s | Legion of dawn armor pack is is the |
| 2087s | thing you equipped with your head chest |
| 2089s | legs etc as we're described as kind of |
| 2092s | the things that change your silhouette |
| 2094s | and so if you pre-order the game you get |
| 2097s | access to the Legion of dawn armor pack |
| 2100s | for the Ranger which is what we're |
| 2102s | looking at now super cool and then what |
| 2107s | I think is one of the most generous |
| 2109s | offerings in video game history if you |
| 2112s | purchase the Legion of dawn Edition you |
| 2115s | get the Legion of dawn armor pack for |
| 2118s | all four of the javelins so that's four |
| 2121s | armor packs which is which is I think |
| 2124s | awesome we're just really excited for |
| 2126s | people who you know want to be early |
| 2128s | adopters to the game to be really |
| 2129s | generous with a really cool look that |
| 2132s | you can celebrate like hey I've been |
| 2133s | here from the beginning and so wanted to |
| 2136s | make sure we reward that the details are |
| 2138s | on the website I don't know if you have |
| 2140s | the specific link AJ |
| 2145s | yeah I think you touched on everything |
| 2147s | perfectly |
| 2149s | we're supplying some more questions from |
| 2150s | the chat as Frances toys around with |
| 2154s | this this javelin here and he's kind of |
| 2157s | recreating what you see up there there's |
| 2162s | really cool one question we're getting |
| 2165s | been and this might be for you some well |
| 2168s | asking about and I know we're not |
| 2170s | talking about weapons or gear yet but |
| 2172s | they want to know about you know how |
| 2174s | that works are those part of what you |
| 2177s | colorize and stuff like that sure so do |
| 2183s | leader in Francis I can answer that in |
| 2185s | terms of weapons specifically so wipe in |
| 2188s | zipper do not receive colorization in |
| 2192s | the same way as the exosuit weapons will |
| 2194s | be they will have unique looks and |
| 2196s | appearances there will probably probably |
| 2198s | be another stream going over that so you |
| 2201s | can have really cool-looking guns yeah |
| 2205s | and kind of same with gear like that |
| 2207s | there are some variations to how the |
| 2210s | gear looks but that's based on the |
| 2212s | functionality of the gear and so it's |
| 2215s | not tied to things that you can |
| 2217s | specifically customize but you can tie |
| 2221s | them together and loadout so you can |
| 2223s | pick hey I want these three gear pieces |
| 2225s | these two weapons with disappearance and |
| 2228s | I saved the whole thing as one loadout |
| 2230s | so you know you might want to make the |
| 2233s | red dragon ranger appearance that's all |
| 2237s | red and then you have equip fire gear |
| 2240s | and and and you might want to make the |
| 2243s | frosty warrior I wish I was more |
| 2246s | creative and make yourself blue and then |
| 2250s | you clip the frost grenade and save that |
| 2252s | as a loadout and you think and then swap |
| 2254s | between both the customization you have |
| 2256s | of gear and weapons and the appearance |
| 2259s | can be tied together so that's pretty |
| 2260s | cool |
| 2266s | next question AJ sure oh we've got this |
| 2273s | one that I've seen a few times I don't |
| 2276s | know if you want to touch on this they |
| 2277s | saw the the Nifty in seven and of course |
| 2280s | we're getting questions about a certain |
| 2283s | other Bioware IP called Dragon Age so |
| 2288s | yeah well go ahead Francis no I was |
| 2291s | gonna say we do have plaid weave in the |
| 2293s | game I think you know the answer to all |
| 2299s | Bioware IP is that we own is of course |
| 2303s | we'll do shoutouts and and stuff like |
| 2305s | that to those ip's I don't think wanna |
| 2307s | get into the specifics of all of it we |
| 2309s | obviously made n7 because n7 day was was |
| 2311s | just a couple weeks ago I'm sure we'll |
| 2314s | give nods to our IPS you know as we go |
| 2317s | forward so I'm sure you can expect to |
| 2318s | see things where it makes sense and |
| 2320s | where it's you know appropriate all |
| 2326s | right let's do what two more questions |
| 2327s | and then we'll call it yeah let's do |
| 2329s | yeah one or two more and and be sure to |
| 2332s | drop them in there we're kind of as |
| 2334s | we're kind of going through this |
| 2335s | everybody and thanks for joining us |
| 2337s | today I do want to give a quick shout |
| 2342s | out to Leah and Francis and I'm sure you |
| 2344s | were gonna do this Bend but thank you |

| 2357s | wrap-up stuff as we get those final |
| 2359s | questions together so first of all for |
