| 26s | all right we're live hey hey everyone |
| 30s | this is our inaugural first-time |
| 32s | livestream from Bioware headquarters in |
| 36s | Edmonton and Austin and we're gonna be |
| 39s | looking at a little bit at this game |
| 40s | called ant hem also known as anthem to |
| 43s | some people I'm Mike gamble I'm a |
| 46s | producer here at Bioware and I'm been |
| 48s | having I'm also a producer here at |
| 50s | Bioware and we're gonna be showing you a |
| 53s | little bit of gameplay today that I |
| 55s | don't think has been shown anywhere else |
| 56s | we're gonna talk a little bit about |
| 59s | where we're at and kinda you know just |
| 62s | kick this thing off so that later in |
| 63s | coming months and weeks we can we can |
| 66s | really start to share more and more with |
| 68s | the community about the game now and |
| 71s | we're doing it because we hit a pretty |
| 72s | big milestone right Mike we hit alpha |
| 74s | yeah we hit alpha a little bit about |
| 76s | that alphas dope so I guess what Elfa |
| 79s | kind of means is that we have most if |
| 83s | not all of the major features in the |
| 84s | game the game is is running the game is |
| 87s | connected together as a cohesive unit |
| 89s | and some of those features may be near |
| 92s | shippable some of those features maybe |
| 94s | less than that but it allows us to take |
| 96s | the next what three three and a half |
| 99s | months or so been it was a ship it yeah |
| 102s | and it's really exciting time because |
| 103s | it's it's the point where we start |
| 105s | getting lots and lots of feedback you |
| 106s | know obviously throughout this whole |
| 108s | project we collect feedback at different |
| 110s | stages from various groups but now's the |
| 112s | time we can open it up a lot more we can |
| 114s | share more information with the |
| 115s | community we can start running certain |
| 117s | tests and getting that figure which is |
| 119s | really exciting for us because after a |
| 120s | long time working on the game it's |
| 122s | amazing to be able to show different |
| 124s | pieces of it to all of you definitely |
| 126s | and we kind of mentioned up the hop that |
| 129s | the Ben and I are produces on the game |
| 131s | there's a massive development team |
| 134s | behind the scenes working on stuff and |
| 135s | in the next coming weeks we'll be able |
| 137s | to show you more and more of those folks |
| 138s | they'll kind of guest guest star on the |
| 140s | stream and and we'll go from there man I |
| 144s | was trying to maneuver to wave at you on |
| 146s | screen you keep moving sorry sorry dude |
| 148s | alright so I'm just gonna flex instead |
| 150s | and then do my little well thing so bad |
| 154s | last night we were |
| 155s | going through this we're talking about |
| 156s | it so our wonderful PR and marketing |
| 158s | partners they had some feedback for us |
| 161s | about how to make this dream more |
| 163s | entertaining so what they told me first |
| 167s | of all they told me not to wear a white |
| 168s | shirt so those two assistants that one |
| 170s | failed yeah no no no fail fail on |
| 173s | purpose |
| 173s | step two they told me to smile more so |
| 176s | so I think both of us we really need to |
| 179s | smile a lot more during the live show |
| 181s | and I want like a smiling person |
| 182s | naturally mic so that wouldn't be a |
| 184s | problem for me but I'll take my cynicism |
| 187s | and I'll Park it okay so what we got |
| 189s | here we are in free place so free play |
| 192s | is a mode that you can select from the |
| 194s | forge allows you to as it says you might |
| 197s | be surprised play free |
| 199s | I'm the storm here and my cool |
| 202s | customized storm and I am playing as the |
| 205s | Interceptor and in fact I decided given |
| 208s | all the community feedback that I would |
| 210s | keep myself out with a melee build today |
| 212s | so as we go through and fight some |
| 214s | things we can talk a little bit about |
| 215s | what that means in the context of anthem |
| 218s | but we should probably jump off and fly |
| 221s | together we will fly somewhere we're |
| 224s | gonna probably hit some world events I'm |
| 227s | off all right so hey remember yesterday |
| 230s | when we were like hey Ben you should go |
| 231s | first because then we can show both on |
| 234s | the screen at the same time yeah but you |
| 236s | were like hey but you have to memorize |
| 237s | where to go I was like I'll totally do |
| 239s | that like I don't remember okay so in |
| 243s | that case stop just wait let's go |
| 248s | wait what are you doing okay oh shit |
| 250s | grab it's one down did the rest of them |
| 258s | just leave yeah that's right why would |
| 261s | they stay around they don't they're not |
| 263s | weaponized so I actually kind of do |
| 265s | remember where to go but why don't you |
| 267s | lead off here because I was gonna |
| 269s | mention one of the things I love about |
| 270s | free play is that you know every time |
| 272s | you come out into the world you have a |
| 273s | really unique and different experience |
| 275s | so the way all the creatures spawn and |
| 277s | the different events that can spawn it |
| 279s | makes exploration really exciting |
| 280s | because every time you go out it's |
| 282s | slightly different so I'm telling you |
| 284s | right now hey awesome |
| 287s | yeah trying to maneuver the shaper |
| 291s | relics that I see here and you seem like |
| 293s | my cooldown bar kind of what flatline |
| 295s | there oh are you gonna go to the whole |
| 299s | way underwater no no no I'm seeing a |
| 302s | world event up here arcanists have have |
| 305s | requested some help so world events are |
| 306s | dynamic depends on where you are in the |
| 309s | world and they spawn different things |
| 313s | Oh search for an arcane vault all right |
| 316s | this is helping out the arcanist faction |
| 317s | a little bit yeah I took the scenic |
| 320s | route I'm a little behind but I'll catch |
| 322s | up |
| 324s | should we open the so do you want to |
| 334s | talk a little bit you're in the storm |
| 335s | you were trying to show off abilities |
| 338s | and gear that players hadn't seen before |
| 340s | do you want to talk about what you have |
| 342s | equipped yes so I oh okay I triggered |
| 345s | the scar attack so let's just oh there's |
| 348s | a scar do we have both now yeah so okay |
| 351s | I'm gonna dive in there okay can you |
| 353s | just cover me from behind I will do that |
| 355s | indeed so I'm gonna use my lightning |
| 357s | fall which kind of bounces around and |
| 359s | I'll try and crowd control a little bit |
| 361s | hitting I'm gonna get some altitude hold |
| 366s | on |
| 366s | good yeah I gotta back out a little bit |
| 368s | here but let me know when you set up I'm |
| 370s | set up hitting it on the top I'm gonna |
| 373s | serve my third gear piece can debuff |
| 375s | this big heavy here so he takes bonus |
| 377s | damage so I'm gonna do that you can see |
| 380s | the B I don't know hahaha get you did |
| 383s | you die no no no not yet I have to run |
| 384s | away this is crazy |
| 386s | oh I think we're about to lose the first |
| 388s | event all cerise yeah oh yeah I'm on |
| 392s | fire so I can't fly hey what difficulty |
| 396s | did we put this on friends in PR |
| 397s | marketing are we getting in trouble |
| 400s | right now oh we are we're controlled in |
| 402s | front of thousands of people so this is |
| 403s | actually freelancer difficulty which is |
| 406s | apparently the middle of the of the |
| 409s | introductory difficulties yeah this |
| 413s | should be good this is the middle one I |
| 414s | think what we did is we triggered two |
| 416s | events that's fine so why don't we just |
| 418s | go this way and then just do it one |
| 420s | at a time yeah we ain't running so okay |
| 423s | so I'm gonna get this these guys here |
| 426s | just gonna reload I'm gonna charge in |
| 431s | now yep |
| 433s | the thing about the storm here is is my |
| 437s | natural play style is to hover as much |
| 439s | as possible and provide some remote |
| 443s | support from the air |
| 447s | of course without a shield I can't hover |
| 449s | as long so I have to recharge my shield |
| 451s | make sure I'm going up and down hey so |
| 454s | this group of Scour on the right I think |
| 456s | it's a good chance to use your ol tapey |
| 458s | can and you know clean up whatever you |
| 460s | miss yeah I'm gonna just get a little |
| 461s | bit of altitude all right gonna pop my |
| 463s | alt here I'm gonna come up as well just |
| 465s | let me know when you go all right |
| 467s | I'm gonna bring it all down now I'm |
| 469s | diving in going in nice nice nice |
| 473s | all right hey got that heavy he's right |
| 476s | beside you yeah |
| 486s | and then so once we get these guys down |
| 491s | let me show off a little bit about this |
| 492s | intercept to build if we get it if we |
| 495s | ever get a break yeah we're nearly there |
| 497s | okay I'm gonna get this flyer |
| 500s | let's go hunter other I got a I got a |
| 505s | crossbow that go down alright okay I'm |
| 507s | psycho duck out for a little bit here |
| 509s | backing off |
| 511s | did the enforce tries to go down like |
| 514s | and so I got aggro on him okay I'm |
| 517s | coming it's gonna get this hunter out of |
| 519s | the way so I stop getting destroyed I'm |
| 521s | gonna throw down a wind wall to protect |
| 522s | me yep okay I'm flying over I'm just |
| 527s | gonna alt here as well actually to take |
| 529s | the rest of them out okay and then I'll |
| 531s | showcase the alt later with with the |
| 533s | stream folks yep alright so I'm on the |
| 537s | heavy now alright good |
| 538s | nice nice my ultimate lets me become |
| 541s | invulnerable for a brief amount of time |
| 543s | to straight and then does a lot of melee |
| 546s | damage to everything I can hit that was |
| 549s | a nice hole clean up hey come help oh |
| 552s | wait for me coach okay so that fly as a |
| 556s | problem as well so I'll try and show off |
| 559s | the melee build a little bit here so I |
| 561s | can - to him let's get this knife I can |
| 564s | dash in and then use like a lightning |
| 566s | kick basically as a one-two combo into |
| 570s | melee there we go down |
| 572s | alright this work |
| 577s | I got them with a lightning lightning |
| 581s | ball it's on the ground finishing off |
| 585s | all right perfect |
| 586s | we got a couple more stragglers yep so |
| 594s | what um I don't remember what weapons |
| 597s | you chose to equip do you know I have |
| 601s | let's see actually I have more of a lot |
| 607s | of DMR decision rod is a precision rifle |
| 610s | yeah I'm using the same so kind of my |
| 613s | makeup is precision rifles so I can pick |
| 615s | off any high-value targets I want and |
| 618s | then I'm using like a it's kinda like a |
| 620s | double-barrel shotgun merge with a auto |
| 623s | shotgun so it has two shots up front |
| 625s | okay I kind of pay with my melee build |
| 627s | so I'm gonna try staying close as |
| 629s | possible so I have an idea for this |
| 631s | world event so because this is time so |
| 634s | when we open the world event we we're |
| 635s | timed and I have to get if fragments |
| 639s | back within a certain amount of time so |
| 640s | you focus on the spawns I'm gonna I'm |
| 643s | gonna just go after them and try and |
| 644s | cleat the world event to get to get the |
| 646s | XP that sounds good and then if I get in |
| 649s | trouble or just probably have to come |
| 650s | and help out all right going for them |
| 653s | okay there's still a bunch of scouts |
| 655s | here let's get there we should be fine |
| 658s | all right shooting points I need five |
| 667s | and like we said these shooting points |
| 670s | this world events is random so we could |
| 673s | have never planned this one shooting |
| 675s | points also also Owen who are our cipher |
| 682s | is needs to say a different line all |
| 686s | right good shut up all right okay you go |
| 687s | - all right got it |
| 688s | I got a return to the cart to the vault |
| 690s | yeah I still got all these scars okay |
| 694s | okay dude you're gonna you might have to |
| 696s | help me out I have to do an annex here |
| 698s | so this part of the world event is I |
| 700s | have to hold this area down okay I'll do |
| 703s | it really I have to hold this area down |
| 706s | well I'm not seeing you very oh never |
| 708s | mind there you are |
| 709s | no I'm going to use the the rifle so I |
| 711s | can stick it back in oh yeah thanks if |
| 716s | you have a win wall that would be super |
| 718s | helpful all right more do you where do |
| 719s | you want it facing this other solutes |
| 734s | let's finish off these are and we should |
| 741s | off the storm ultimate a little early we |
| 743s | don't need to talk about what it does |
| 744s | though so do you want me to explain it |
| 746s | or do you want yes so once once I pop it |
| 750s | oh nice did it awesome they're running |
| 755s | away I think now yep perfect |
| 757s | that was tougher than I thought it'd be |
| 759s | thanks for that yeah all right so let's |
| 764s | see now let's go down let's go through |
| 768s | here yeah |
| 773s | what tonight oh yes there's still multum |
| 774s | it so it's almost mostly cool you |
| 776s | activate a mode and then you can drop |
| 778s | three big area abilities you drop a a |
| 781s | fire one and ice one and a lightning one |
| 784s | and then the fourth time you push |
| 786s | trigger it'll drop a meteor on top of |
| 788s | all three of them so it's a really good |
| 790s | way to take out a large group of mobs |
| 791s | and and get a lot of crowd control going |
| 793s | and so you saw Mike do it in that first |
| 795s | scenario where we were a little |
| 796s | overwhelmed he kind of got rid of all |
| 798s | the low-level guys and then we could |
| 800s | focus down the big scar at the end yeah |
| 803s | it's super helpful for cow control the |
| 806s | strike going down here Arden's Road yep |
| 810s | I will follow I go into this crevasse |
| 815s | Here I am actually I hate - pretty good |
| 821s | yeah I'll skim the water as well should |
| 825s | be fine so one of that kind of advanced |
| 829s | technics of traversal is working out how |
| 831s | to use cooling things like water to |
| 833s | extend your flight duration whether they |
| 836s | are waterfalls or skimming the surface |
| 838s | of a lake or a river or whatever or |
| 842s | actually going underwater and as we're |
| 845s | as we're kind of flying through question |
| 848s | from twitch other than traversing |
| 851s | towards waypoints is flight useful for |
| 852s | situations like combat support roles |
| 855s | absolutely so right now I'm actually |
| 857s | playing a support role you see see been |
| 860s | on the ground fighting in this quick |
| 862s | ninja like way I'm paying above yeah and |
| 869s | I use it especially on close-quarter |
| 872s | characters you know you've got a |
| 873s | reposition a lot in those combats and |
| 875s | you could really see my screen so a lot |
| 878s | of the time I'm flying around to flank |
| 880s | people or get behind them even if it's |
| 881s | just for short bursts its releasing yeah |
| 883s | so we hit another world event here it's |
| 886s | the shaper relic is gone |
| 889s | terminal so we need to gather the |
| 892s | fragments with it |
| 895s | crappy thing about some of these relics |
| 897s | is the longer you leave them the more |
| 899s | they're likely to |
| 901s | bro and explode basically have to keep |
| 903s | them in check by attacking them so let's |
| 909s | see who's let's see who's pumped so we |
| 920s | need to find the echos here as well yep |
| 922s | yep so so on my um on my compass there's |
| 926s | a bit of a radar type thing in there |
| 928s | that's what we're looking to follow so |
| 930s | one says it's above and over here up |
| 934s | there just one in the sky I'll keep |
| 938s | shooting there rel okay yep alright so |
| 944s | I've got three echos I'll go and deliver |
| 947s | oh and oh alright |
| 954s | three down I have to go but that means I |
| 956s | think that they're gonna be on to us |
| 958s | yeah a bunch of creatures just formed to |
| 960s | the west |
| 962s | oh the Dominion Katie's guys are super |
| 963s | tough man yep so I'll just try to hold |
| 968s | them off for a bit but I'm probably |
| 970s | gonna need some help okay I gotta get my |
| 972s | shit back we've got some creatures as |
| 976s | well some wolves oh I'm instantly |
| 977s | half-dead okay |
| 979s | it's unfortunate Kate you need me to |
| 983s | provide some air support yes alright oh |
| 989s | okay there's a Dominion Valkyrie over |
| 991s | there |
| 991s | aka a Dominion storm also the Valkyries |
| 996s | have access to storm suits and they're |
| 998s | super powerful so you gotta break that |
| 1000s | shield it's knock them out of the sky |
| 1002s | and then take him down so we can either |
| 1004s | take out all the smaller ones first and |
| 1007s | then get her lost or try to get about |
| 1009s | three foes I'm just trying to figure out |
| 1011s | the area I was getting shot at I had to |
| 1014s | launch a number of meteors or something |
| 1017s | nice debug texture data in this build |
| 1021s | that ultimate isn't finished in a later |
| 1023s | build it is where do you see the |
| 1027s | Valkyrie I've lost sight he went around |
| 1029s | the oh he's out here around kind of a |
| 1033s | little Church area |
| 1035s | and I see okay I'm gonna try to blink in |
| 1037s | and break the shield and then let's |
| 1038s | let's take the back rear down first okay |
| 1040s | I'm gonna go grab one more of these |
| 1043s | okay wisps I got a person that goes |
| 1046s | rather that's fine okay his shields |
| 1052s | amiss down busy but knock around the sky |
| 1054s | we can at least get a little reprieve |
| 1056s | from the frost attacks yeah and I'll |
| 1059s | just retreat a little bit |
| 1061s | don't let me know when you come back |
| 1063s | yeah I'm back I'm back but I'm I'm |
| 1065s | getting shot at storm just not supposed |
| 1067s | to live on the ground so we can just |
| 1072s | clear a path toward you yeah let's just |
| 1074s | clear up often okay |
| 1075s | oh my shields are down |
| 1081s | I think we're gonna have to just go |
| 1084s | nuclear belfry first now yeah okay let's |
| 1086s | do it I will follow my shields and pack |
| 1089s | up so not mine let me just get back Maya |
| 1093s | so I can't fly yeah but I see yeah you |
| 1096s | see here right yeah I have to run away |

| 1121s | Priority One |
| 1121s | yeah what's actually hurting me is the |
| 1123s | shape a relic that continues to go |
| 1124s | terminal and then of course there's a |
| 1127s | brute on the horizon I'm just going in |
| 1131s | now for the hey she retreated all the |

| 1212s | I'm terminal I'm down there's a brute |
| 1215s | right in front of me but I did I did |
| 1216s | deliver one more echo so what does it |
| 1223s | right there dude yeah but we'll see one |
| 1226s | Olfa one-on-one for Oh No |
| 1229s | if we party wipe I hit a super-fun bug |
| 1234s | but because no one can see it I'm not |
| 1236s | gonna even say what's happening to me |
| 1237s | right now |
| 1238s | but I will be right back all right so I |
| 1241s | respond yeah my respawn I actually found |
| 1244s | a cool bug where I fell through the |
| 1245s | world whose replies oh that doesn't |
| 1250s | happen that's why you failed that's why |
| 1252s | you failed me out I'm taking the little |
| 1253s | time out here and I will be right back |
| 1256s | so in the meantime I'm gonna take on the |
| 1261s | forces of the Dominion by myself |
| 1262s | oh oh I just got knocked out of the sky |
| 1267s | big time so one of the things with the |
| 1268s | storm when you're hovering and if your |
| 1271s | shield goes down in a way that that you |
| 1273s | guys just saw I will crater the part of |
| 1278s | my strength is to make sure that I'm |
| 1279s | maximizing and keeping my shields alive |
| 1283s | because that's the key to me winning |
| 1290s | there's another brood up here I think we |
| 1292s | could give me Cletus stay away we should |
| 1293s | be pretty good well there's a lot of |
| 1295s | frost towns there too though yeah it's |
| 1298s | fine do you want me to pop my oats |
| 1300s | yes please on the stairs yeah I would I |
| 1304s | work at because I can combo all right oh |
| 1307s | yeah they're all there yeah you good I |
| 1311s | should better get over here |
| 1313s | oh nice nice yeah so the int the |
| 1317s | Interceptor has a special ability where |
| 1318s | give you combo with your melee attacks |
| 1321s | and and kill the enemy you get an aura |
| 1323s | that inherits the status effects so like |
| 1325s | a fire or or a frost or so I can run |
| 1328s | around and apply that aura to all the |
| 1329s | people around it so it really |
| 1331s | incentivizes that high mobility hey I'm |
| 1333s | gonna go search for a couple more wisps |
| 1335s | while you uh yeah I found something like |
| 1339s | that we like identified our roles is I |
| 1342s | like to kill all the things and you like |
| 1344s | to be smart and play objectives but but |
| 1346s | then at the same time who's the one |
| 1348s | who's died already it's me so maybe |
| 1351s | maybe the smart play isn't the best all |
| 1355s | right one more one more whiz you gotta |
| 1358s | pick me up there oh I'm gonna risk |
| 1359s | everything all right see if you can put |
| 1361s | a win wall at my body and then get me |
| 1363s | out all right should be able to okay |
| 1366s | unless you fly off the world and no no |
| 1369s | I'm just picking though you're flanking |
| 1371s | I see it can the easy way |
| 1372s | I just let my button my shield thing to |
| 1381s | run out of time |
| 1382s | oh well comment comment leave no dragon |
| 1386s | behind |
| 1387s | all right wing wall Bobby perfect |
| 1389s | perfect perfect it's really good |
| 1394s | all right you're up thank you thank you |
| 1397s | hey I'm gonna go get one more echo and |
| 1399s | let's finish this damn thing yep I |
| 1402s | actually have my old up again so I'm |
| 1404s | just gonna use that and take out this |
| 1405s | brute |
| 1407s | oh it's fine nice done one of the things |
| 1414s | I kept on screwing up is every single |
| 1416s | time I would go to an echo you fuck I I |
| 1419s | would I would run right into the into |
| 1424s | the exploding relic and we take me out |
| 1428s | so there's still two birds here yeah I'm |
| 1430s | down again oh I didn't see that the |
| 1431s | other guy was behind the wall oh he |
| 1433s | jumped up might be able to get you yeah |
| 1435s | you'll get me then I'll go straight into |
| 1437s | my alt hopefully yeah okay Ultimates up |
| 1445s | nice throw thanks oh and they're out of |
| 1448s | here though oh it is our shared cypher |
| 1450s | people don't know we both have own as a |
| 1452s | cypher yep he's a really nice guy yeah |
| 1456s | he's generally a nice guy yes |
| 1458s | estimation you know it's funny there are |
| 1460s | all these explosive barrels that we |
| 1462s | didn't take advantage of fortunate all |
| 1468s | right all right so man that was really |
| 1470s | fun yeah but is there anything we didn't |
| 1473s | talk about we were just kind of chatting |
| 1475s | I don't nobody miss anything |
| 1477s | so we talked about the storm ultimate we |
| 1479s | talked about your interceptor ultimate a |
| 1481s | little bit about customization you my |
| 1484s | cool deckle on it what else well we |
| 1488s | talked about world events a little bit |
| 1489s | there were questions about the melee |
| 1491s | build just to clarify what that means |
| 1494s | like I have to get pieces equipped that |
| 1497s | I can use in close range that use like |
| 1500s | my fists and legs and I combined that |
| 1503s | with my melee attack and things like a |
| 1505s | shotgun to build like a really close |
| 1507s | range build so I can dash in and then do |
| 1510s | some cool stuff yeah I think I said |
| 1512s | parts of that but we got destructed um |
| 1514s | let's let's fly around just a little bit |
| 1516s | more and take some questions as we kind |
| 1519s | of go so I don't know if we actually |
| 1519s | answered it properly light is used for |
| 1523s | traversal but it's also used for |
| 1524s | gathering different vantage points hover |
| 1526s | is a major amazingly important thing for |
| 1529s | many of the of the javelin classes norm |
| 1531s | hovers critical and of course it's great |
| 1534s | built into the design of the javelin |
| 1536s | where you can hover for longer |
| 1538s | yep and then even the other suits it's |
| 1540s | really great because you can just get |
| 1542s | better positioning you can observe the |
| 1544s | battlefield you can use your gear from |
| 1546s | hover as well so what's the tactical |
| 1549s | advantages but eventually you do |
| 1550s | overheat and then you create or like I'm |
| 1552s | doing right now yeah you have to be |
| 1554s | careful but I think that's the risk |
| 1555s | reward system to it which is great |
| 1557s | there's a lot of different things to pay |
| 1558s | attention to so I think for new players |
| 1561s | it's really easy to pick up and have fun |
| 1562s | but then also for advanced players |
| 1564s | you've got a lot of things to learn and |
| 1566s | master yeah and in terms of my ultimate |
| 1569s | the storms ultimate rather we have like |
| 1572s | we talked about I'll just show it right |
| 1574s | here for everyone so it gives me the |
| 1576s | opportunity to play some speed that |
| 1577s | bread smears and then once those have |
| 1580s | been placed and primed I basically hit |
| 1582s | right trigger to activate it and finish |
| 1584s | it off it brings down the meteors or |
| 1585s | something and the IP version of me do |
| 1589s | yeah exactly |
| 1592s | and of course there's crafting material |
| 1594s | throughout the world and there are |
| 1595s | wildlife to hunt and and then of course |
| 1601s | underwater caves or in different yeah so |
| 1604s | I'm sure we probably have tons of |
| 1606s | questions as well from the stream do we |
| 1608s | have any that we could read out hey hey |
| 1610s | guys this is AJ I'm gonna read out some |
| 1612s | questions that we pulled from the chat |
| 1614s | and Twitter today um this one front |
| 1619s | comes from lion Chris on twitch he asks |
| 1623s | is the game okay to play on the |
| 1626s | controller I assume he means a console |
| 1629s | controller and as you can see right |
| 1630s | there my Campbell is playing on a |
| 1632s | controller but it will have keyboard and |
| 1634s | mouse support as well then you guys have |
| 1638s | done a lot of students all that on I |
| 1640s | mean we spend a lot of time on controls |
| 1642s | I think one of the really interesting |
| 1643s | parts of the game is we have more |
| 1646s | buttons and many games if you think |
| 1648s | about it we have GPS one two and three |
| 1651s | we have flight we have halva we have |
| 1653s | sprint we have - all the - equivalent |
| 1656s | for each suit jump double jump melee |
| 1660s | reload swap weapon emotes aim-down-sight |
| 1665s | Oh tie name rather and fire shoot so |
| 1670s | between all of that it's been really |
| 1672s | challenging to come up with a really |
| 1673s | great control scheme that allows for all |
| 1675s | of those combinations to work in a way |
| 1678s | that is really fun to play you know |
| 1681s | we've been doing a bunch of feedback |
| 1683s | testing and one of the universal things |
| 1685s | that comes back is that the controls now |
| 1686s | feel really good they certainly didn't |
| 1688s | you know nine months ago but now we're |
| 1691s | at a point where I think it feels really |
| 1692s | great on a controller |
| 1693s | I think PC players are used to having |
| 1696s | more preferences and so one of the |
| 1698s | things we've made sure to add is the |
| 1699s | ability to remap key bindings so for PC |
| 1702s | players you can basically set up |
| 1704s | whichever kind of where you want we've |
| 1706s | set a default layout that we think will |
| 1708s | be a good way to pick the game up so I |
| 1711s | think yet for both controller and PC |
| 1712s | controls we feel really happy with it |
| 1714s | now I think until you play it it's hard |
| 1716s | like people say stuff like why don't you |
| 1718s | so melee and reload or whatever and I |
| 1721s | think it's really hard to talk about it |
| 1723s | and you forget to play it and so once |
| 1725s | people do that they seem to give really |
| 1727s | positive feedback but it's also stuff we |
| 1730s | can iterate over time if we need to make |
| 1731s | more changes so overall pretty good okay |
| 1734s | this one comes from tokyo adam night on |
| 1736s | twitch he asks what kind of aerial |
| 1740s | trickery and you perform for air |
| 1743s | superiority purpose dip well there's |
| 1746s | those the good ol reliable dodge so |
| 1751s | everyone has a slightly different dodge |
| 1753s | I'm showing you the storms right here |
| 1755s | storms all about blink and teleport so |
| 1757s | that allows you to kind of dodge |
| 1759s | incoming fire you also have the ability |
| 1763s | to do a striking air melee so as you're |
| 1766s | kind of flowing in |
| 1767s | you have the ability any given point |
| 1769s | time to pack the ground that number of |
| 1774s | other ones and of course every every |
| 1775s | javelin has quite different versions of |
| 1778s | that o we finished a world of anthem how |
| 1780s | we did that |
| 1782s | anything else I had they're effective |
| 1784s | yeah effective at World of em yeah and |
| 1788s | of course the combination of flight |
| 1790s | versus hover versus melee versus dodge |
| 1793s | really adds dynamism into that so there |
| 1798s | you go to show that then you aren't able |
| 1801s | to see my screen but I just did a |
| 1804s | combination I imagine you're doing |
| 1806s | amazing wicked flying and then into |
| 1809s | hover dropping down for a lower vantage |
| 1812s | point hovering again flying so you have |
| 1815s | a lot of a lot of usage of these schools |
| 1817s | and bringing them together pretty badass |
| 1820s | okay one of my favorites is the I'm in |
| 1823s | trouble I do a spiral flight up into the |
| 1825s | sky and then drop a melee a melee down |
| 1828s | is a cool thing to do yeah this next |
| 1831s | question comes from deck 196 on Twitch |
| 1834s | how many actual gear slots will will |
| 1836s | there be yeah I can feel that one so |
| 1840s | each suit has three specific gear slots |
| 1843s | so on a xbox controller just to make it |
| 1847s | easier for myself to explain you have |
| 1849s | left bumper right bumper and then left |
| 1853s | and right together so typically the way |
| 1857s | it works for each suit is you'll have |
| 1860s | about at launch five on left bumper five |
| 1863s | on right bumper so if I have different |
| 1864s | gameplay choices and then two on the |
| 1868s | left and right bumper so left and right |
| 1870s | are typically like offensive abilities |
| 1873s | for the most part it's not always true |
| 1874s | sometimes it's crowd control and then |
| 1877s | the left and right bumper together kind |
| 1879s | of things for utility or support so you |
| 1881s | heard might call out a bunch about using |
| 1883s | win wall which was a wind wall that |
| 1885s | would block projectiles so it was like a |
| 1887s | barrier we could take cover behind it's |
| 1889s | right here have my one is that I have |
| 1892s | equip right now is a debuff so on large |
| 1894s | targets I can make them take an extra |
| 1896s | 25% damage so again it doesn't have to |
| 1899s | be defensive utility mine's offensive |
| 1902s | utility and Mike's got defensive utility |
| 1904s | so that's gear specifically and then |
| 1907s | there are two weapon slots that you can |
| 1909s | equip there's a couple of small |
| 1911s | restrictions for for a couple of suits |
| 1914s | but |
| 1914s | you can put whatever weapon in whatever |
| 1916s | slot and then you have your melee |
| 1920s | ability which isn't a thing you can |
| 1922s | change and you have your ultimate |
| 1924s | ability which also is nothing you can |
| 1925s | change so that's kind of all the things |
| 1928s | you have in your tool kit as well as |
| 1930s | stuff like jump double jump dash Double |
| 1933s | Dash depending on the class you have the |
| 1936s | jab when you have one thing I forgot to |
| 1938s | mention |
| 1939s | that'd be your beginning so on my screen |
| 1941s | seeing a little red red squares that's |
| 1945s | actually an bogging issue those icons to |
| 1948s | start showing up again work in progress |
| 1950s | code those normally would have an icon |
| 1953s | and I continue to show this but it |
| 1955s | didn't really show up well in combat |
| 1956s | because there's a lot going on this |
| 1958s | lightning ball that I have here actually |
| 1961s | bounces and if you're super good you can |
| 1964s | make it hit multiple enemies in one shot |
| 1967s | and look awesome unlike what I just what |
| 1974s | else we got AJ yes sir so this one comes |
| 1977s | from a very cool username Zedekiah the |
| 1980s | meta sage on Twitch and they say wait so |
| 1984s | you can customize your javelins look |
| 1987s | notice we've got some new locusts on |
| 1989s | these javelins today you guys want to go |
| 1991s | into some detail on some of that stuff |
| 1993s | yeah so so guys send me out land so I |
| 1996s | can stand next to you so we can see both |
| 1998s | but the storm does not land storm |
| 2000s | huggers alright final I'll stalk |
| 2001s | rational land storm Lansford man didn't |
| 2004s | cut you can customize a number different |
| 2006s | areas first of all I want to point out |
| 2007s | my extremely tacky cave that aj from the |
| 2012s | community team gave me what's not tacky |
| 2014s | it's just a matter of taste not |
| 2015s | something that I would wear normally in |
| 2017s | the street well it's flowing yes them |
| 2020s | flowing glorious oh is it flowing ever |
| 2022s | that's a little Paris games week humor |
| 2025s | for y'all you don't know we're talking |
| 2027s | about you can basic ustym eyes with |
| 2029s | decals and do you want to walk through |
| 2032s | the things that I'm I'm showing you in |
| 2034s | front of you on on me and where those |
| 2035s | things are yes so what we'll probably do |
| 2039s | is we'll host the stream to go into all |
| 2041s | the details of how this works but just |
| 2044s | at a super high level the idea is that |
| 2047s | power and vanity are separate things so |
| 2050s | power is all about the gear and weapons |
| 2052s | I talked about a couple minutes ago and |
| 2053s | in the vanity of a customization or |
| 2056s | personalization stuff is about how you |
| 2057s | look so you can see here some of the |
| 2060s | choices mike has first of all as effects |
| 2062s | the silhouette so the helmet the |
| 2065s | shoulders the chest that kind of stuff |
| 2066s | and how does that look |
| 2067s | weight on top of that he's got a vinyl |
| 2070s | which is a way to have a pattern that |
| 2073s | that covers the suit and then beyond |
| 2076s | that you can pick specific colors and |
| 2078s | material types to to customize a javelin |
| 2082s | further so there's really a lot of cool |
| 2084s | choices to pick from and like I said I |
| 2086s | think we have to work out when but but |
| 2088s | you know over the next little period of |
| 2090s | time we'll do a stream that kind of |
| 2092s | walks through that so we can explain it |
| 2094s | in a bit more detail did I miss anything |
| 2097s | Mike was out apparently they just told |
| 2100s | me that that mines supposed to look like |
| 2101s | a p-51 Mustang so okay alright I'll take |
| 2105s | that for the six people who really care |
| 2107s | I love one Mustangs just my personal |
| 2110s | choice all right yes right right or |
| 2115s | wrong answer so this one comes from |
| 2117s | Khaled Annan on Twitch and they want to |
| 2120s | know how you heal they may not have been |
| 2122s | tracking how you guys were doing that |
| 2123s | during the stream okay so when any when |
| 2128s | any XO or devlin takes enough damage |
| 2130s | they'll go down into a Down stage when |
| 2131s | you're in a Down State there's obviously |
| 2133s | a timer and any of your friends javelins |
| 2137s | can come in and can prepare you |
| 2138s | basically and that that you have to hold |
| 2140s | the button in order to do so and after a |
| 2143s | certain amount of time you can choose to |
| 2145s | respawn outside of a combat area |
| 2147s | obviously you're not helping your |
| 2148s | friends as much but there's benefits to |
| 2151s | coming in and repairing there's benefits |
| 2153s | to gameplay that are granted when you |
| 2157s | come in and repair I don't know if we're |
| 2158s | ready to talk about that stuff yet but |
| 2160s | yeah that's generally the way the |
| 2162s | mechanic works yeah and then kind of on |
| 2165s | top of that because that was a great |
| 2166s | answer is there's also ways to replenish |
| 2169s | health as you fight so creatures will |
| 2172s | drop red health goblets in the world |
| 2176s | that you can pick up and so javelins |
| 2177s | have boats |
| 2178s | and health so shield will replenish |
| 2182s | overtime or by doing specific things |
| 2184s | specific to the javelin but your health |
| 2187s | you have to pick up their health Globes |
| 2188s | by killing creatures so it kind of |
| 2190s | encourages you to to keep pushing |
| 2191s | forward in the combat to be super heroic |
| 2194s | in nature and that's how that works to |
| 2198s | kind of clear a few things up like there |
| 2199s | aren't specific gear pieces that do |
| 2202s | healing that's not a thing we have in |
| 2204s | the game the idea is that like right |
| 2206s | here we killed something is it on I was |
| 2209s | smart I was slowly slowly killing him |
| 2211s | but then you came in okay so I think so |
| 2215s | I got a health code but you didn't but |
| 2218s | basically that's how you can replenish |
| 2220s | health as you play the game looking |
| 2222s | addition to reviving people this one |
| 2225s | comes from White Fang three one five |
| 2228s | will there be loadouts you can build for |
| 2231s | each javelin that will make them either |
| 2232s | more offensive defensive to kind of fill |
| 2235s | a gap you don't have a certain chaplain |
| 2238s | or fill a gap for a certain javelin in |
| 2241s | your group yeah the idea of the game is |
| 2250s | that you can you pick like a play style |
| 2252s | you like with the javelin but then |
| 2254s | within that you can pick a lot of |
| 2256s | different options so again like I went |
| 2257s | for a melee interceptor build which was |
| 2260s | really all about close quarter combat I |
| 2262s | have to move in fast take out targets |
| 2264s | move back fast but I could play a |
| 2269s | long-range interceptor so I could take |
| 2271s | different gear pieces so all of mine |
| 2273s | right now really Center on getting in |
| 2275s | close but I have other things like an |
| 2278s | ability which I can paint a couple of |
| 2280s | targets and stun them or freeze them |
| 2282s | from range so that's a bit more support |
| 2285s | because I can do some control and sit |
| 2288s | back with a with a rifle and shoot from |
| 2291s | range and kind of control the the play |
| 2294s | field so my friends can can do damage |
| 2296s | same deal like with the Colossus you |
| 2299s | know you can play up close and personal |
| 2301s | with a shield and a flame foot thrower |
| 2303s | and you're trying to kind of get in |
| 2305s | between your friends |
| 2307s | range with the mortar |
| 2310s | range with a mortar |
| 2313s | definitely lots of flexibility there |
| 2315s | same with the support choices you know I |
| 2318s | picked the damage but the support choice |
| 2320s | for my third year slot but I could have |
| 2321s | picked a different one which would |
| 2324s | remove status effects from my friends so |
| 2326s | if someone got frozen I could push it |
| 2328s | and it would clear that that free status |
| 2330s | effect and that's more of us |
| 2333s | 12 |
| 2336s | 12 |
| 2338s | together is kind of up to you I found a |
| 2341s | chest been |
| 2342s | I found a chest been |
| 2346s | let's take two more questions |
| 2348s | let's take two more questions |
| 2351s | ugh demon on Twitch and they say the |
| 2356s | game looks tough without four players do |
| 2358s | you guys want to talk about how that |
| 2360s | works yeah so so we are on a difficulty |
| 2363s | that is not easy this is a pretty |
| 2367s | challenging difficulty a couple things |
| 2369s | to be aware of I don't actually know if |
| 2371s | our javelins are appropriately leveled |
| 2373s | to the type of world events that we're |
| 2376s | heading and also of course our gear and |
| 2380s | weapon selections are not necessarily |
| 2382s | personalized to our own play styles so |
| 2384s | it looks challenging we're not |
| 2386s | challenging than it is that said we do |
| 2389s | have difficulty scaling based on number |
| 2391s | of players so four players three players |
| 2394s | two players and one player will have |
| 2396s | different gameplay experiences and of |
| 2398s | course as a solo player you have the |
| 2402s | ability play the game hey it's still |
| 2405s | gonna be challenging and there's no |
| 2406s | doubt about it just like it is for us |
| 2407s | now but it is still doable anything your |
| 2411s | side vent at no that's great anything I |
| 2414s | would say is that we want to encourage |
| 2415s | larger group numbers like you know you |
| 2419s | inherently get benefits through the |
| 2421s | utility that the different options the |
| 2423s | status affects each extra team member |
| 2426s | can make so it is gonna be a a I think a |
| 2429s | more fun play experience to play with |
| 2431s | full players and that's what we want the |
| 2432s | game to be about but we are doing all |
| 2434s | the things Mike said so that if you |
| 2436s | really don't want to play with the four |
| 2437s | players you can still play the game and |
| 2439s | have a lot of fun yep one more question |
| 2443s | all right it's tough to pick a last one |
| 2445s | but we'll go alright it's tough to pick |
| 2447s | a last one but we'll go with one more |
| 2450s | and then maybe you guys can answer |
| 2452s | someone Twitter as well later today but |
| 2454s | this is from Tarkus on Twitch they asked |
| 2457s | what loot is there other than weapons |
| 2460s | is there any armor cosmetics trinkets |
| 2463s | yes so there is all the loot I think |
| 2467s | it's really hard to explain it without |
| 2469s | doing the stream where we talk about all |
| 2472s | the personalization options because a |
| 2473s | lot of the things I'll say they wouldn't |
| 2475s | make sense so I think that's a great |
| 2477s | question for us to answer in detail |
| 2478s | later the short answer is yes as a bunch |
| 2482s | of power things that you can unlock in |
| 2484s | the game or |
| 2485s | through Luth like all the gearing |
| 2487s | weapons we've been talking about in |
| 2489s | addition there are other ways to earn |
| 2491s | rewards that affect your appearance |
| 2494s | which you can get both through playing |
| 2497s | the game through monetization options |
| 2500s | through unlocking difficult challenges |
| 2503s | so I think we can cover that in more |
| 2505s | detail later but the short answer is yes |
| 2507s | and those are the ways to do it yeah so |
| 2509s | as I kind of kind of wrap us up |
| 2511s | obviously been alluded to this there's |
| 2513s | gonna be more streams to cover more and |
| 2515s | def things we just barely scrape scrape |
| 2518s | the surface here with a little bit of |
| 2519s | free plate and a little bit of a map |
| 2520s | we've got tons of missions a full story |
| 2524s | campaign tons of side missions port |
| 2526s | Tarsus game is pretty massive so we'll |
| 2529s | have a lot of content to cover between |
| 2531s | now and chip and of course we wanted to |
