| 25s | hello everyone and welcome to another |
|---|---|
| 27s | anthem livestream I'm Ben Irving Lee |
| 30s | producer for anthem and today we have a |
| 32s | very special guest who has actually been |
| 35s | here for every stream I think but first |
| 37s | time sitting in the hot seat |
| 39s | we have Jesse Jesse do you wanna not |
| 42s | that usually need an introduction but |
| 43s | just introduce yourself to the fans yeah |
| 45s | for those that don't know me I'm Jessie |
| 47s | Anderson one of the community managers |
| 48s | on anthem Andrew Johnson also has been |
| 51s | working behind the scenes you'll |
| 52s | probably see him one of these streams |
| 53s | coming up but yeah glad to be here on |
| 56s | camera yeah we're very excited to have |
| 57s | you |
| 58s | so actually Jessie do you want to talk |
| 60s | us through what's the agenda for today |
| 62s | what are we going to cover yeah so |
| 63s | originally we said we were going to do |
| 64s | some legendary missions we won't be |
| 66s | doing that today we're primarily going |
| 67s | to cover what we've we've got coming in |
| 70s | the next update so we're gonna talk |
| 72s | about that we're going to show you some |
| 73s | things that we've changed and that's |
| 76s | primarily like the point of this stream |
| 78s | is just showing every what we've been |
| 79s | working on and then you had some things |
| 81s | you wanted to talk about - yeah yeah so |
| 83s | I think like just kind of to riff off |
| 85s | that a little bit what we've heard a lot |
| 87s | from reading social media reddit all |
| 90s | that kind of stuff is that people want |
| 91s | to update on you know what are the bugs |
| 93s | that we're fixing with the next patch |
| 95s | and what are some of the quality of life |
| 97s | things so we figured that we'd spend |
| 98s | most of our time just talking about them |
| 100s | I think first off the big one is where |
| 103s | we're at with crashes and we just posted |
| 105s | some stuff on Twitter but we've been |
| 108s | investigating crashes disconnects that |
| 109s | kind of stuff we actually have a strike |
| 111s | team going internally full of some |
| 113s | really talented engineers who are |
| 115s | spending all of their time resolving |
| 116s | that so we have a whole lot of crash |
| 118s | fixes going into our next patch that |
| 121s | patch is currently scheduled for March |
| 123s | 12th that's our goal we'll see where |
| 126s | that hits but it should be pretty close |
| 127s | to March 12th so in that things like |
| 131s | some of the PlayStation crashes so you |
| 134s | know there have been some reports where |
| 136s | a PlayStation can temporarily power down |
| 139s | and so just to be clear in all the |
| 142s | instances we're aware of that we've |
| 143s | investigated in partnership with |
| 145s | first-party they can be powered back up |
| 148s | if you know how to just turn the power |
| 149s | back on and cycle it properly and so we |
| 153s | have discovered a bunch of things that |
| 155s | were causing crashes one of them was |
| 157s | that and we've addressed them in in our |
| 159s | patch so have we caught every crash in |
| 160s | the game I don't know probably not but |
| 162s | we feel like we've addressed a lot of |
| 164s | the really big offenders and that should |
| 165s | make the experience really good for |
| 166s | players we think when that goes live in |
| 169s | on March 12th so that was the first one |
| 172s | the second one is I think we're gonna |
| 175s | play the whole game today with that |
| 177s | level one defender because that's the |
| 179s | the new hotness of what to play aunt |
| 181s | them with just kidding so we did just we |
| 184s | it has been reported and it's getting |
| 186s | subtraction on reddit that the level one |
| 189s | defender rifle is doing too much damage |
| 192s | that's a bug and we can fix the super |
| 194s | easily we just got to work out how will |
| 197s | how quickly we can get that that out so |
| 199s | our goal is to fix that real soon so no |
| 201s | worries about that and then I think why |
| 204s | don't we yes top 2 gameplay and then we |
| 208s | can well why don't you talk about so |
| 210s | we're gonna play on the build that's |
| 213s | gonna give out next yep so what you're |
| 215s | gonna see is the same build that you all |
| 218s | have next week when you update hopefully |
| 220s | much 12th we'll see how it goes but yeah |
| 224s | so here we are we're using so lots of |
| 227s | those things first thing first thing |
| 229s | Jesse are you in a group yes I know I am |
| 232s | I am by myself right now but you do see |
| 234s | hold why does thought expedition I do so |
| 237s | that was one of the things requested a |
| 239s | lot was hey like in a group that things |
| 242s | there can I just have it all the time |
| 243s | so that if you are you know picking up a |
| 245s | contract from yarrow you know kind of at |
| 248s | the opposite end of for Tarsus you can |
| 250s | now push this button I'll take you |
| 252s | straight in the side of expedition so |
| 254s | kind of cut out some of that travel time |
| 255s | and then we go so I think we was gonna |
| 257s | do free play today and mess around a |
| 259s | little bit and show some some cool |
| 261s | things that we've been we've been fixing |
| 263s | I need to go to Grand Master 3 right |
| 270s | because he didn't give himself a high |
| 273s | level build yeah it's like we can't be |
| 275s | playing hot I agree we're gonna be the |
| 277s | pleb devs who don't play I tried with |
| 281s | with the gear I've got on Grand Master |
| 282s | one and it was |
| 284s | a little rough that's fine so we can we |
| 288s | can hop in here to expedition so some |
| 293s | other things we did what was it last man |
| 295s | the week's remit of a blow I think it |
| 297s | was last week we did some glute changes |
| 299s | as well there was lots of frustration |
| 303s | about mainly around I think infusions |
| 306s | not being good enough like you could get |
| 307s | bad rolls and so I'm sure if you're |
| 310s | watching the stream you're kind of aware |
| 311s | but we did some posts to Reddit |
| 314s | communicated the problem what we wanted |
| 316s | to do and then we were able to get that |
| 318s | in I think it was the day next the other |
| 320s | day after my remembered I think was |
| 322s | Thursday yep and and the TLDR of that is |
| 326s | you know in inscriptions sorry yeah in |
| 329s | description should be more relevant to |
| 331s | the weapon or the items specifically if |
| 334s | they impact that item so the gear icon |
| 336s | things which means it's just for that |
| 338s | item are always good for for the weapon |
| 342s | or item that it's on and then any suit |
| 344s | bonuses that could apply to anything |
| 345s | will they apply to anything so having a |
| 348s | white lightning damage or electricity |
| 351s | damage bonus on a weapon is still cool |
| 354s | because if you're playing an electricity |
| 356s | storm build like that's still useful to |
| 357s | you so yeah I think I seem pretty good |
| 360s | we're monitoring all of that you know |
| 363s | we're always going to review things like |
| 367s | drop rates and and and that kind of |
| 368s | stuff we think there are a couple things |
| 370s | missing still so originally we wanted to |
| 373s | remove uncommon and common so white and |
| 376s | green drops from our level 30 content we |
| 379s | couldn't do that the fast way or the |
| 382s | server-side way but we have addressed |
| 384s | that in the patch coming on March 12 so |
| 387s | hopefully that makes that experience |
| 389s | better I think people were getting |
| 391s | frustrated they're doing super hog |
| 392s | content and then you get us a stack of |
| 394s | common and uncommon strokes not really |
| 396s | cool so we've addressed that for March |
| 399s | 12 and then I think the part we haven't |
| 402s | done yet and we'll just monitor it and |
| 404s | we're talking into about some plans are |
| 406s | you know GM 2 & 3 |
| 408s | that's grandmaster 2 & 3 don't feel as |
| 410s | rewarding as we'd like them to be right |
| 412s | now I think from an efficiency |
| 414s | standpoint and |
| 415s | from a quality of leads you get |
| 419s | perspective Eva through like the drop |
| 422s | rates or even the types of items that |
| 425s | are dropping the rarity and stuff like |
| 426s | that so we're going to look into that |
| 428s | that's not in this next patch but we're |
| 429s | on top of that we're listening to the |
| 431s | feedback so you know something like a |
| 433s | consolidated thread on reddit would be |
| 435s | cool if you guys feel like doing that |
| 437s | that just kind of talks through any |
| 439s | feedback you have for GM 2 & 3 we'd love |
| 441s | to read that feedback we're reading it |
| 443s | but it's a bit spread out so I wanted to |
| 445s | point out also if anyone was like Oh a |
| 447s | noob you overheated and crash to the |
| 449s | ground then anyone notice how quickly I |
| 451s | actually recover yeah that's right |
| 453s | I just know as you're looking at me you |
| 455s | would trauma time and talking but I talk |
| 457s | too much that's why it's my fault okay |
| 459s | so when you overheat now before Colossus |
| 462s | players might have noticed it took a |
| 464s | little while to the heavy hit reaction |
| 466s | was so overheating running into walls if |
| 471s | you you know happen to do that takes a |
| 473s | little while but so if you watch now and |
| 476s | crash into the ground you can move |
| 479s | pretty quick if you blink you miss it |
| 480s | this yeah so but here's the thing there |
| 484s | right stuff like this at least to me |
| 485s | it's like little quality of life things |
| 487s | and we get enough of them done again |
| 489s | based on player feedback I feel like it |
| 490s | makes a really big difference to like |
| 491s | the enjoyment of when you play the game |
| 493s | yes so it's a lot faster I've been |
| 496s | playing Colossus and if you make a |
| 498s | mistake and run into a wall you're |
| 499s | you're a sitting duck for a while |
| 501s | actually so I can't remember do you know |
| 503s | if we did that just for flight crashes |
| 505s | or is it all heavy kit reactions |
| 508s | it's all heavy hit I think that's all |
| 509s | yeah so so there are a couple other |
| 511s | situations where you can get in a tough |
| 513s | spot as a Colossus where you can't bring |
| 515s | your shield up in time because you've |
| 516s | gone in that little time out on the |
| 517s | heavy hit reaction I don't feel better |
| 519s | as well yeah so gear you can use gear |
| 521s | quicker after being taking a heavy hit |
| 524s | makes it a lot quicker yeah like you |
| 526s | said to pull up that shield and this is |
| 527s | this is gonna be fun so other stuff I |
| 532s | mean we almost suggest reading through |
| 534s | not all the patch notes but a bunch of |
| 536s | the patch notes we we went through the |
| 538s | patch notes I think we fixed we made |
| 540s | like 300 changes of |
| 544s | sometimes like five changes equals one |
| 546s | patch no so it's not really away but |
| 549s | just for context like mainly again our |
| 551s | lens what we wanted to do was like |
| 553s | anything that would improve any kind of |
| 556s | friction points or kind of play a |
| 558s | feedback is what we want to do in this |
| 559s | patch for next week so some other things |
| 562s | so I mentioned we had kind of our crash |
| 565s | instability strike team going and so |
| 566s | they were focused a lot on on the |
| 568s | specific PlayStation crashes but |
| 570s | honestly looking at all of the the top |
| 572s | crashes and connectivity issues so |
| 575s | there's a bunch of stuff later to that |
| 577s | that will go in the patch and so |
| 578s | hopefully you know people have a better |
| 580s | experience there one of the other big |
| 584s | ones that had come up both for social |
| 587s | media just because like when we play the |
| 589s | game was annoying is quick play wasn't |
| 592s | going so great you would back fill in |
| 595s | two missions and they wouldn't progress |
| 597s | so we made a lot of improvements there |
| 600s | so we kind of took most of the |
| 602s | situations that got flagged with us so |
| 604s | people were great about reporting |
| 606s | specific missions and specific |
| 607s | situations where they were hitting |
| 608s | issues so we've addressed all the ones |
| 611s | we know what on that doesn't mean we've |
| 613s | fixed all of it I think there's some |
| 615s | stuff to quit play we just we're gonna |
| 616s | have to get better at and make it better |
| 618s | but at least those big things that were |
| 620s | reported we believe you address them |
| 622s | it's like seven or eight specific |
| 623s | situations that we've fixed and our hope |
| 626s | is that that means you know most of the |
| 628s | time in quick play my to wake up the |
| 631s | laptop most of time and quit play we you |
| 634s | should have success there so that'll be |
| 636s | good another big one I'm sorry let me |
| 640s | read so I have this fancy iPad how do we |
| 644s | yeah so like this is twitch chat with |
| 647s | questions it is and I get distracted |
| 649s | very easily but I should probably read |
| 651s | this and little questions as well so I |
| 656s | hope you know what |
| 657s | I was about to fake it but I shouldn't |
| 659s | which is like oh here's a question but |
| 661s | it was actually my next question okay so |
| 664s | no faking about faking real glad the |
| 667s | next thing I had and then I'll read for |
| 668s | some questions nice pad |
| 670s | thank you man it's really nice to be |
| 671s | safe next question we wanted to sorry |
| 675s | next word we want to talk about was |
| 676s | another piece of feedback was hey it's |
| 679s | frustrating when I'm in matchmake with |
| 682s | the group of people that I don't know |
| 683s | well I had not on on voice comms with |
| 685s | and they don't notice when I go down |
| 688s | anime don't resurrect me and I have no |
| 690s | way to like do anything so we really |
| 693s | heard that feedback agree it was |
| 694s | frustrating so what we've tried to do is |
| 696s | we've removed as many of the respawn |
| 700s | restriction restricted areas as we can |
| 702s | from the whole game so and just add at a |
| 706s | time up so for example like if you're in |
| 708s | a stronghold and you go down there's a |
| 710s | 30 second timer and so like ideally your |
| 712s | friends come and repair you because |
| 714s | that's what good friends do but if they |
| 717s | don't it's just 30 seconds it's not like |
| 719s | an unlimited time until they defeat the |
| 721s | boss or whatever you're doing at that |
| 723s | point in time and so there are there are |
| 726s | still a few missions where that has to |
| 727s | be in there for like reasons it's just a |
| 729s | long story but as many spots as we could |
| 732s | remove it we have so that was great |
| 734s | feedback as well so thank you all for |
| 735s | that I think that will make people's |
| 737s | lives better all right so so do you have |
| 742s | anything you want to talk about while |
| 743s | I'm read twitch chat um |
| 745s | I mean we've it's actually scrolling to |
| 747s | files so if you if you scroll down like |
| 749s | you hold the finger and you can but then |
| 751s | what happens I guess you can pinpoint on |
| 753s | something but so one of the things I've |
| 755s | seen is people talking about the |
| 758s | messaging that can pop up during free |
| 759s | play of your servers gonna shut down |
| 761s | we've actually changed that so it does |
| 764s | not happen near as often until the |
| 766s | server is actually going to shut down |
| 768s | pretty close to it also another |
| 771s | messaging people with the the cortex |
| 774s | entry that kept popping up in free play |
| 776s | it's like open the cortex and crack this |
| 778s | thing that doesn't pop up anymore so |
| 780s | when she's completed that it won't pop |
| 782s | up anymore it's a nice little quality of |
| 785s | life improvement getting a few questions |
| 787s | about so that's cool with the removing |
| 790s | restricted respawn but can you make that |
| 792s | whole thing better yes we should do that |
| 795s | that's like a longer-term thing you know |
| 797s | some of these things are what's a quick |
| 799s | way to improve the experience and then |
| 801s | what's a longer term item so on our |
| 803s | longer-term thing I don't have a |
| 805s | timeline for it we have things like you |
| 807s | know if I'm down |
| 809s | how can I experience be improved and |
| 810s | there's all kinds of ideas I don't want |
| 811s | to get into specifics but that's a great |
| 815s | question and yeah we're gonna look at |
| 816s | that doing what we did for this patch |
| 818s | was a way we could do something like in |
| 820s | a day and then getting in a patch |
| 822s | quickly so it was at least removing that |
| 824s | major friction point of like you know I |
| 826s | can't use the map and I can't do |
| 828s | anything and I have to just sit here so |
| 830s | that's kind of a pluggers right oh |
| 837s | that's for me or Jesse or someone but |
| 839s | thank you that's nice |
| 842s | GM 2 & 3 changes when don't have |
| 846s | anything to announce there yet again I |
| 848s | think it would be cool to get some |
| 850s | feedback from the community on ideally a |
| 853s | consolidated thread so it's one place to |
| 855s | look on just some thoughts you have We |
| 857s | certainly have ideas but until we have |
| 860s | an actual plan that's implemented like I |
| 862s | don't prefer not to comment on it |
| 863s | because so many things can change and |
| 865s | game development I don't want to you |
| 867s | know give give the wrong idea to people |
| 869s | or something that we're doing so next |
| 874s | content drop so we've talked a bit about |
| 876s | content that's coming you know |
| 878s | we released a 90 day calendar in there |
| 881s | there's a whole bunch of stuff slated |
| 883s | for March so our plan is to still |
| 885s | release the things in March and March |
| 887s | you know I don't we don't have new |
| 891s | content in this patch March 12 new |
| 894s | content specifically but the one after |
| 897s | at the end of March we we hope to get a |
| 900s | couple of things in there that we had |
| 901s | talked about before like the Elysium |
| 905s | chests we called strong cold chest |
| 906s | before and a legendary missions again |
| 908s | that's not a commitment that's like a |
| 909s | goal just trying to be transparent about |
| 911s | what we're aiming for like I said many |
| 913s | things happen so that's our goal for now |
| 915s | though so that's that'll be the next |
| 916s | thing so a couple weeks it's a couple |
| 918s | weeks away I guess any word about |
| 922s | immense yeah I think events is a good |
| 924s | topic so we've had some we tried doing |
| 927s | some really light events we call them at |
| 929s | ultra light event because we were trying |
| 933s | to see like what's the amount of change |
| 935s | in free play we could do that was |
| 937s | meaningful to players and then kind of |
| 939s | work on that and so I think we've had |
| 941s | some things that |
| 942s | we're interesting but didn't quite hit |
| 944s | the mark and other things that were I |
| 946s | think pretty cool like there be giants |
| 948s | was an event we've run before and we're |
| 950s | gonna rerun that again every now and |
| 952s | then where if you kill the fall named |
| 955s | Titans in free play you get a cool |
| 957s | deckle and that's like something that |
| 960s | you just get from gameplay I think I |
| 962s | might be the first one we have like that |
| 963s | maybe I know there's a couple but you |
| 964s | notice I'm not getting any common air on |
| 966s | comments I did not notice that yeah |
| 968s | that's a great call out maybe let's get |
| 970s | some Jesse pagas in chat and see if we |
| 972s | can get that flowing oh actually you |
| 974s | just talked about there be giants |
| 976s | another fix we have in is that if you |
| 979s | are downed right when it ends and you |
| 980s | kill you know the Titans and you will |
| 983s | get credit now if you're down when a |
| 984s | Titan dies you get the credit you get |
| 986s | the woods yep I know a lot of people |
| 987s | were pretty pretty sad that they they |
| 990s | weren't able to get credit on that but |
| 992s | so this is my twitch street cred |
| 994s | there is no partisan chat like I'm like |
| 997s | let's get punished because no like not |
| 1000s | even one person was like alright then |
| 1001s | fine here like I feel bad for you he's |
| 1003s | fine I okay so yeah so there be giants I |
| 1008s | think was a pretty cool event you know |
| 1010s | an event being something that has a |
| 1012s | limited time to it in that example it |
| 1014s | was like three days we also did some |
| 1017s | other things like outlaw outrage which |
| 1018s | we filled all the free play with outlaws |
| 1021s | there's actually a named |
| 1023s | outlaw out in the world I didn't |
| 1025s | actually see anyone post about that but |
| 1026s | you drop this kind of better loot so |
| 1029s | next time that's not usual watch for |
| 1030s | that but I think like some of the |
| 1033s | challenge was it wasn't directed enough |
| 1035s | flake outlet outrage as outlaws |
| 1037s | everywhere like that's kind of cool it's |
| 1038s | kind of different but we kind of learned |
| 1041s | that hey it's probably better to have |
| 1042s | like a specific area of the map where |
| 1044s | something happens and then we direct you |
| 1046s | to that area so that you're not flying |
| 1048s | through all the free play trying to |
| 1050s | discover something so there are some |
| 1052s | lessons we've learned with that and |
| 1053s | we'll be doing new stuff over time and |
| 1055s | improving myself over time so again |
| 1057s | feedbacks really great it's helpful in |
| 1060s | in this kind of iterative process for |
| 1062s | some of these things support gear what's |
| 1065s | the deal good question so we would like |
| 1069s | to add I assume you mean like for the |
| 1071s | third gear slot where the master works |
| 1073s | being unfair |
| 1074s | that's that's fair yes we want to do |
| 1078s | some we want to do some soon ish I don't |
| 1082s | have a timeline for it we'd also like to |
| 1084s | add some new ones at some point as well |
| 1086s | part of part of the idea was like let's |
| 1089s | see how players use them let's see what |
| 1091s | works and then let's see what gaps the |
| 1093s | different suits have and go from there |
| 1094s | so definitely no timeline on that but |
| 1096s | the combat team talks about it a bunch |
| 1099s | actually on the combat team okay did |
| 1102s | that post go live does anyone know okay |
| 1105s | so one of the things that has been asked |
| 1108s | for by the community is hey some of your |
| 1110s | inscriptions are a little confusing to |
| 1112s | me I don't know exact what they do could |
| 1113s | you explain it and so Chris King who's |
| 1116s | our gameplay design director and Darren |
| 1119s | McPherson who's our lead gameplay |
| 1120s | producer so you know Darren from the |
| 1122s | streams forever my crystal ball they run |
| 1126s | up this big post that is like how do |
| 1128s | inscriptions work like on a masterwork |
| 1130s | and there's four things what are the |
| 1133s | four things come from how you decide and |
| 1135s | then what does do they all mean so it's |
| 1137s | a pretty lengthy thing that we're gonna |
| 1138s | post to reddit today it might be up we |
| 1141s | were like approving it just as we came |
| 1143s | in here so anyway so that'll go up and |
| 1146s | we're gonna put it up on the EA website |
| 1148s | as a blog as well so hopefully that |
| 1149s | gives some insight to that because I |
| 1152s | know that people were asking for that so |
| 1154s | that's cool another huge question Sarah |
| 1158s | myself carried away here you know this |
| 1159s | is fun with the iPad it isn't right |
| 1161s | there we can just kind of keep going |
| 1162s | whatever I want that's fine for two of |
| 1164s | it it's like are you gonna do so I was |
| 1171s | gonna say column what I read something |
| 1173s | that reminded me about it okay there's |
| 1176s | been a lot of questions about a stats |
| 1177s | page late so just to say yes we think we |
| 1181s | should add a stat page yes it's |
| 1182s | important we've been talking about it |
| 1184s | long before any reddit posts and the |
| 1187s | images get sent to me every 45 minutes |
| 1190s | has been around we want to we have to |
| 1194s | work out like how quickly we can do it |
| 1196s | and when we can add it in so there's no |
| 1199s | timing for that like it might be soon it |
| 1201s | might not be soon but we at least want |
| 1203s | to recognize yes you all right if you're |
| 1206s | doing builds with master works like |
| 1208s | having a |
| 1208s | that's page is super important and we're |
| 1210s | gonna work on that and when we have an |
| 1212s | update of timing or whatever we'll make |
| 1214s | sure to let you all know but it's a |
| 1216s | great call-out you guys alright we |
| 1218s | should do that no that doesn't mean |
| 1222s | never that means soon ish we just need |
| 1225s | to work out the timing plug this plug is |
| 1228s | plug is finally getting smart is |
| 1229s | excellent |
| 1231s | okay let me put this down for a second |
| 1233s | cuz I get too distracted okay what else |
| 1235s | we got so you talked about messages okay |
| 1237s | did you talk about the stronghold quit |
| 1239s | play thing nope okay so in the start of |
| 1244s | expedition screen you might have caught |
| 1246s | it if you have paying attention when you |
| 1248s | launch free play there's now a quick |
| 1250s | play missions items so to help people |
| 1253s | who are leveling playing the critical |
| 1256s | path there's also a random stronghold |
| 1258s | basically so you can just join any |
| 1260s | random stronghold that was in the game |
| 1264s | and then it was out of game now it's |
| 1265s | back in the game we think that's cool in |
| 1268s | the future we'd like to do something |
| 1270s | better probably with rewards if you pick |
| 1272s | the random but for now it's just a cool |
| 1273s | option so that if you're like just want |
| 1275s | to help out whoever's queueing you can |
| 1277s | do around in stronghold it's kind of |
| 1278s | cool this next thing infuriated me but |
| 1283s | mouse button 4 is no longer bound to the |
| 1287s | back button for PC players so like I use |
| 1291s | mouse button Flora's push-to-talk in |
| 1293s | like this code so I started playing and |
| 1296s | every time I talk to my buddies it would |
| 1298s | cancel where had a freaking I was |
| 1299s | dipping I'm like what is this I actually |
| 1302s | found the solution from a reddit post so |
| 1304s | thank you random right oh that was great |
| 1306s | but we fixed that so that's a small |
| 1308s | thing but sometimes a small things count |
| 1312s | there's a bunch of problems on |
| 1314s | respawning where you would end up behind |
| 1316s | blackout a wall like my clothes so you |
| 1319s | can get back in |
| 1320s | we've tried to catch as many of those |
| 1322s | spots as possible and remove them so |
| 1324s | you've bought on the right side of the |
| 1325s | wall which is pretty cool we hope with |
| 1330s | the next point we already showed you the |
| 1332s | launch Bay that you can spawn from |
| 1334s | anywhere again that will teleport you up |
| 1336s | to the forge so that's pretty cool we |
| 1340s | have a few more things but maybe I'll go |
| 1342s | back to to twitch I don't know is |
| 1343s | anything I'm just right I'm just talking |
| 1346s | at this point I guess I would say we've |
| 1347s | covered that Oh another bug fix the |
| 1350s | ultimate ability bar like how you'd |
| 1352s | start a mission and then it looks like |
| 1353s | you have it and you don't and then see |
| 1356s | your totem now when I dive into ten mobs |
| 1359s | on GM one we're not gonna know yep it's |
| 1361s | gonna I think it'll either actually |
| 1363s | definitely work or I won't think it's |
| 1365s | for right if we've all been there to her |
| 1367s | like I am just running here and I'll pop |
| 1369s | my open nope I did see a bunch of |
| 1372s | questions what about the sound bugs so |
| 1373s | we found a whole lot of situations that |
| 1376s | would cause sound to cut out and we fix |
| 1378s | them that's it also in this patch for |
| 1380s | March 12 again this is a tricky like do |
| 1383s | we catch every single one ever I don't |
| 1385s | know but like did we catch a lot of them |
| 1387s | yes like hopefully this is a huge |
| 1389s | improvement that it like basically never |
| 1391s | happens but we kind of have to see but |
| 1394s | we definitely caught and fixed a lot of |
| 1396s | those ones which is cool yep what about |
| 1404s | the health bug which I feel certain that |
| 1407s | we fixed it so for a referent what this |
| 1410s | means is sometimes when you load into |
| 1412s | different difficulty missions there the |
| 1415s | you I would show different amounts of |
| 1416s | health bar pips basically and it was |
| 1419s | just a UI thing like you had all the |
| 1421s | right health as far as I understand I'm |
| 1423s | pretty certain we fixed her in this |
| 1424s | patch as well like 85% |
| 1427s | I didn't read in the patch notes okay |
| 1430s | we'll double-check I think you're still |
| 1432s | working on the patch notes okay |
| 1433s | I think it's fixed |
| 1436s | Oh |
| 1440s | someone said ultimate buff exclamation |
| 1442s | points so let me talk about that so one |
| 1445s | of the things that we weren't happy |
| 1450s | about was how combat abilities that |
| 1454s | don't have items scaled almost like a |
| 1457s | weird sentence but well that means is |
| 1458s | like like you'd have a melee item you |
| 1461s | don't have an ultimate item so how do |
| 1463s | those things scale right and we felt |
| 1465s | like and people reported this on the |
| 1467s | forums and read and social media but as |
| 1471s | you pushed like I think GM one's not too |
| 1474s | bad by GM to like melee damage and |
| 1476s | ultimate skilling really wasn't good and |
| 1478s | that affects I think you know things |
| 1480s | like the Ranger who like you can have |
| 1482s | really cool builds around fast ultimate |
| 1484s | and ultimate damage just weren't working |
| 1486s | out so great or even interceptor melee |
| 1488s | builds where the melee damage going to |
| 1490s | didn't work so I'll sorry it wasn't |
| 1492s | great so we've improved that scaling so |
| 1494s | as you push hard difficulties melee and |
| 1497s | Ultimates will now be much more |
| 1498s | effective so that's really cool and it's |
| 1501s | part of doing that wait to change some |
| 1503s | of the itemization so you'll actually |
| 1504s | see different power score numbers now |
| 1508s | than you had before so for example I |
| 1511s | think what is a masterwork now is 45 |
| 1513s | right yep 45 bends brain is getting |
| 1519s | tired let's see |
| 1521s | I think it's 45 okay so and now it's |
| 1524s | like 61 so like you'll login and have |
| 1527s | like all this extra power it's like you |
| 1529s | have more power but part of doing that |
| 1531s | was to get the distribution between the |
| 1535s | tiers of items to be more in line with |
| 1537s | what we wanted for damage scaling and |
| 1539s | that also facilitates the melee and |
| 1542s | ultimate scaling as well so yeah 25 |
| 1548s | right and so same at that same I'll |
| 1550s | circus 45 I think it's at 61 I remember |
| 1553s | and then like legendary 7 I think so now |
| 1556s | it's like I don't know 65 or 67 or |
| 1560s | something so again part of that is about |
| 1562s | just scaling in general that will free |
| 1564s | us up to do some more things and |
| 1568s | does that make gm3 easier now no it |
| 1571s | should well like your melee and |
| 1573s | Ultimates will do more damage yeah but I |
| 1578s | think it should all be about this planet |
| 1579s | about the same I guess you guys will |
| 1580s | tell us oh this is a great question |
| 1583s | oh man you guys are getting it going |
| 1585s | wind wall blocks Ranger alt also fixed |
| 1588s | bug fixed for Tuesday yep wind wall is a |
| 1592s | good question and bull walk point so put |
| 1595s | your hand up if you use them in GM one |
| 1598s | or two oh no I put the hand up in the |
| 1600s | whole world that's right because it's |
| 1602s | not worth using so what we did was we |
| 1606s | changed their scaling as well so I mean |
| 1610s | you're all will have to be the judge if |
| 1611s | we did enough there but like what we did |
| 1615s | was increase the damage absorb for those |
| 1617s | things so that we hope that they're |
| 1619s | useful on things like Grand Master one |
| 1621s | and then to compensate for that we just |
| 1624s | shortened they're hella map before so I |
| 1626s | think like the bullet point do we write |
| 1628s | down something here I think used to be |
| 1629s | active for like 30 used to be 60 seconds |
| 1633s | yeah like you put it down it's there |
| 1635s | this is now it's gonna be there for 20 |
| 1637s | seconds but it will absorb more damage |
| 1638s | so hopefully that makes them useful |
| 1641s | that's a goal you guys let us know if |
| 1643s | you find a cool bill or a way to use |
| 1645s | that |
| 1656s | ongoing progression where is our XP |
| 1659s | going - yes so right now at max level XP |
| 1662s | is really useful for alliance so to get |
| 1666s | coins but that's not really good enough |
| 1669s | and so we have a bunch of plans for that |
| 1672s | that we can talk about later don't want |
| 1674s | to talk about today but we definitely |
| 1676s | want to extend progression and I think |
| 1678s | one part of that is what happens to X P |
| 1680s | at level 30 so no announcements here but |
| 1683s | good question and we're on it is |
| 1686s | gunslinger Mart gonna get fixed yeah so |
| 1689s | the problem with gunslingers Mart was |
| 1692s | like I remember it was either stacking |
| 1694s | too high or if you hovered too long it |
| 1696s | stack too many times whatever it made it |
| 1697s | way too powerful and we couldn't service |
| 1700s | I'd change that except for turning it |
| 1702s | off so he turned it off and then that's |
| 1704s | fixed in this patch also so you should |
| 1707s | see gunslingers Mart go back in and work |
| 1709s | and have its values again what about the |
| 1717s | defender rifle thing you must have |
| 1719s | missed my incredibly funny joke at the |
| 1721s | start of the stream that's a bug we're |
| 1723s | gonna address that as quickly as we can |
| 1725s | no worries it's just one of those things |
| 1728s | that happens it's kind of funny but not |
| 1730s | funny |
| 1732s | please make Ranger Meili a detonator so |
| 1735s | here's the thing I love the Ranger |
| 1737s | melees a primer like I actually love |
| 1739s | doing the jump into melee prime - back |
| 1745s | use a detonator I use like homing |
| 1748s | missile or missile blasts or both |
| 1751s | whatever and like to set off a combo I |
| 1754s | think that's cool so no it also makes |
| 1758s | her into different but what if here's a |
| 1760s | deal like we get that the Ranger is |
| 1763s | performing a little less than the others |
| 1765s | right now we have some ideas for how to |
| 1767s | address that I think it's just that the |
| 1770s | master works for on kill a hard to set |
| 1773s | up in a full group on like GM 1 or 2 and |
| 1777s | so we're gonna look into that we don't |
| 1779s | have that in this patch but like that's |
| 1780s | that's something we need to work |
| 1785s | okay I will now go back to other |
| 1789s | questions other things okay what else |
| 1791s | did we do oh by the cost of stuff okay |
| 1797s | so we talked a little bit about it yeah |
| 1799s | so Oh can't really show it here but the |
| 1803s | Colossus can have shield charge through |
| 1804s | destructible objects before you would |
| 1807s | kind of like bounce off their barrels |
| 1809s | and things like that now you just keep |
| 1810s | on going through that's cool it's pretty |
| 1813s | awesome |
| 1814s | my buddy plays Colossus when I play with |
| 1816s | him all the time like all he does I |
| 1819s | swear is put the chute up and run in |
| 1821s | circles it's fun it's actually pretty |
| 1822s | effective and when I make fun of him |
| 1825s | he's like he's got way more here than I |
| 1827s | am and he's a better player so it's like |
| 1829s | those that flame throw on a Titan like |
| 1833s | isn't your greatest nobody look did you |
| 1837s | see for a second I actually primed him |
| 1839s | did you know the change that I wanted to |
| 1841s | talk about was so you can now prime |
| 1844s | Titans yeah flame is not the best but |
| 1847s | you you can actually prime them with too |
| 1849s | soon I think I thought flame used to |
| 1851s | zero damage okay so they can take damage |
| 1854s | from stuff that they're highly resistant |
| 1856s | to |
| 1856s | but yeah they'll still take more damage |
| 1859s | that's cool so that's my phone going |
| 1861s | crazy let me just double check and check |
| 1866s | in normally what happens is the dev team |
| 1869s | goes hey you said this thing innit it |
| 1871s | said this thing it's not right so sadly |
| 1874s | the health UI bug isn't fixed so what's |
| 1879s | still working on that sorry team but |
| 1882s | it's just a UI bug so your health is |
| 1884s | good it's just the UI bug so we'll have |
| 1887s | to get on that sorry about that one mmm |
| 1896s | okay I probably shouldn't read all those |
| 1898s | things okay cool okay what's next |
| 1906s | the mark of ruin is now functioning |
| 1909s | properly so which was Martha Bruin I'm |
| 1915s | trying to remember is that that wasn't |
| 1917s | the storm was it I'm not sure |
| 1922s | well marker Bruin users it's it's been |
| 1926s | fixed they're a bunch of other fixes |
| 1931s | like the Ranger Grenadier component now |
| 1934s | actually lowers the cooldown of grenade |
| 1935s | abilities by the correct amount the rest |
| 1942s | of this there's a bunch of all bugs and |
| 1943s | stuff in here but I don't know how much |
| 1945s | is noteworthy there is something that we |
| 1948s | missed didn't we like increase the base |
| 1953s | damage of all masterwork weapons yes yes |
| 1958s | okay yeah I think like I mean I |
| 1961s | certainly find this when I'm playing |
| 1962s | like like we've had this philosophy for |
| 1964s | a long time that gear is really |
| 1966s | important and anthem that kind of |
| 1967s | separates us from other games and we |
| 1969s | really like that but I think some of the |
| 1972s | masterwork weapons just felt like it was |
| 1974s | a bit of a struggle to use them |
| 1976s | especially in like GM 1 plus so we made |
| 1980s | them a bit better so yeah we probably |
| 1983s | didn't buff them when I came in probably |
| 1985s | not just spoiler because that thing's |
| 1987s | amazing cool so I guess oh wow it's |
| 1993s | we're already over time why don't I see |
| 1996s | we can find a couple questions then we |
| 1998s | can do a wrap-up sure well you reckon ok |
| 2005s | please take advice from Travis day you |
| 2009s | made a great post that's cool he did I |
| 2013s | said he made a great place that wasn't |
| 2014s | the question just boost avenging hair a |
| 2018s | halt to week I don't think so my friend |
| 2021s | will not be doing that deer in the game |
| 2027s | is lame it's actually not the gear is |
| 2029s | really cool so it wasn't even a question |
| 2031s | that was a statement you made it's fine |
| 2034s | yeah loot drop stuff again we're gonna |
| 2037s | keep monitoring it like we're really |
| 2038s | open to making changes it's better in |
| 2042s | our mind to make a change watch it make |
| 2045s | a change watch it just so we understand |
| 2046s | exactly what's going on so the one in |
| 2049s | this patch will be removing the uncommon |
| 2052s | and common items from drops at 30 let's |
| 2054s | see if that helps at all and if not |
| 2057s | we'll keep investigating as well as for |
| 2059s | us an important thing is reviewing Grand |
| 2062s | Master two and three and just making |
| 2063s | sure that we can make that rewarding |
| 2065s | completos and that won't be in this |
| 2067s | patch or probably even the one after but |
| 2070s | it's something that we're gonna do |
| 2072s | pretty quickly we'll just we're just |
| 2074s | working on that now what else do we have |
| 2080s | I feel like I forgot something that I |
| 2088s | thought was gonna be important but |
| 2090s | that's okay we can post afterwards arrow |
| 2094s | dance as an emote that's a it's probably |
| 2100s | a good idea I don't know okay I'll pass |
| 2102s | it on how about that I do it with emotes |
| 2104s | here's what happens I'm not very |
| 2106s | knowledgeable about like the impact of |
| 2109s | emotes to the world and in that things |
| 2111s | are a good or a bad idea but we have |
| 2112s | people who are so like often I'll be |
| 2114s | like what about this idea and they're |
| 2116s | like here are the reasons why that's not |
| 2117s | a good idea and I'm like okay |
| 2118s | my bad but we can we can pass it on to |
| 2121s | the team I'm short of listening and so |
| 2123s | they can see it's good idea or not good |
| 2126s | idea |
| 2127s | fix quick play I did talk about it |
| 2129s | earlier so we've discovered a whole lot |
| 2133s | of situations where free play was busted |
| 2137s | like when you join into a mission that |
| 2138s | wouldn't progress and we've fixed about |
| 2140s | seven or eight situations of that we |
| 2143s | don't know we've caught every single |
| 2144s | situation but it should make free player |
| 2146s | a lot better so patch notes when when |
| 2149s | will we have patch notes publicly I |
| 2155s | think probably Tuesday probably just |
| 2157s | when the patch goes long when it goes |
| 2158s | live yeah I mean we talk through a lot |
| 2161s | of it I think a lot of the big things we |
| 2163s | picked out the things we thought you all |
| 2165s | would care about the most yes there's a |
| 2167s | lot more little ones for sure but yeah |
| 2170s | that sue and I do want to point out one |
| 2172s | thing people might be noticing there's a |
| 2174s | bug on my on my colossus here with his |
| 2177s | arm mm-hmm so if you're wondering it's |
| 2181s | probably cuz you I I did some weird |
| 2183s | dance yeah so weird the way we I set |
| 2186s | this up it is not not really what did |
| 2189s | they play it did some funkiness so |
| 2193s | someone else about DL SS support so it's |
| 2195s | not in this patch but it will be coming |
| 2196s | soon |
| 2198s | so we've heard your feedback about Stahl |
| 2204s | we're just trying to work out what - |
| 2206s | what we want to do so people have been |
| 2208s | kind of asking like hey can you rotate |
| 2210s | fast can we have more stuff so we're |
| 2212s | looking at that like yeah so just we're |
| 2216s | hearing the feedback we just got to work |
| 2217s | out some options oh okay so I think a |
| 2226s | lot of the stuff I'm reading now is |
| 2227s | similar sorry we didn't get to all of |
| 2230s | the questions we did our best |
| 2231s | yeah so let's summarize some of the big |
| 2235s | talking points out I mean you can scroll |
| 2236s | back wonderful me to the top so very |
| 2242s | aware of the crash reports specifically |
| 2245s | for PlayStation 4 we've found and fixed |
| 2247s | many many crashes that will be in the |
| 2250s | March 12th patch |
| 2252s | the patch were aiming for March 12 as |
| 2256s | far as we know there was some instances |
| 2260s | where PlayStation 4's would temporarily |
| 2262s | power down but in every instance that |
| 2265s | we're aware of you could power it back |
| 2266s | up you had to like go push the power |
| 2268s | button basically and so it's definitely |
| 2273s | very safe to be playing PlayStation 4 |
| 2275s | and then we have some fixes for the |
| 2277s | issues that we're aware of coming soon |
| 2280s | on hopefully much cold that was a big |
| 2284s | one |
| 2286s | lots of stability improvements in |
| 2288s | general so between crashes and audio |
| 2291s | cutting out fixes are in there we've |
| 2293s | made lots of improvements the quick |
| 2295s | place so that that should be a more |
| 2296s | reliable experience we removed respawn |
| 2299s | restrictions so that if your teammates |
| 2301s | aren't paying attention while you're |
| 2303s | down you'll respawn after a timer the |
| 2305s | timer is different depending on the |
| 2306s | content you're doing you know things |
| 2309s | like server shutdown message doesn't |
| 2311s | happen as often |
| 2312s | Colossus hit reaction bugs they're |
| 2314s | ranger ultimate behind win wall thing is |
| 2317s | fixed we've scaled up a bunch of the |
| 2320s | power score for master work and |
| 2324s | legendary specifically so that we can |
| 2325s | better scale may way an ultimate damage |
| 2328s | so that should make that experience be |
| 2330s | better for people who want to focus on |
| 2331s | melee or ultimate builds which you know |
| 2333s | ultimate should be really powerful so |
| 2335s | that's cool tons of stability fixes done |
| 2338s | tons of bug fixes we tried to hit the |
| 2341s | big things that we saw as feedback from |
| 2344s | the players as many as we could in the |
| 2345s | time when we have C I think this is |
| 2348s | gonna be a great patch that hopefully |
| 2350s | you know makes the experience better for |
| 2353s | what people yeah |
| 2355s | I gots a summary yeah it did good cool |
| 2358s | well on that note should we bid farewell |
| 2362s | any parting thoughts from you otherwise |
| 2364s | I'll give some bombs no next next thing |
| 2368s | is uh just wanna say we're gonna keep |
| 2370s | streaming we're not stopping we're gonna |
| 2371s | keep doing this we're aiming for the |
| 2374s | goal of doing it every two weeks |
| 2376s | kind of how we've already been doing so |
| 2378s | yeah yep and I'll probably miss one or |
| 2381s | two of them I'm actually going my |
| 2383s | brothers |
| 2384s | getting married so I'm gonna take a |
| 2385s | little time to go hang with him so I |
| 2386s | might miss the next stream but I'll be |
| 2387s | back after that if you want me I don't |
| 2390s | know |
| 2391s | we will probably rotate all of us and |
| 2392s | we'll do a little bit of everyone but I |
| 2395s | might miss miss one or two otherwise |
| 2398s | yeah thanks again for all the support |
| 2399s | all the feedback you know a special |
| 2402s | call-out I know there's a lot of great |
| 2404s | community members who put a lot of |
| 2405s | energy into writing really constructive |
| 2408s | feedback you know either in positive or |
| 2411s | negative ways and that's the best stuff |
| 2414s | like if the community if you're asking |
| 2416s | yourselves like how can you help |
| 2418s | influence the game the absolute best |
| 2420s | thing you can do is be vocal but do it |
| 2422s | in a constructive way that explains why |
| 2425s | you feel this way the reasons for it |
| 2427s | like that's the stuff that we really |
| 2428s | love reading you know I know there's |
| 2431s | lots of passionate people out there and |
| 2433s | sometimes that passion kind of comes |
| 2434s | across as being a bit rude sometimes |
| 2436s | intentionally or not and and I would |
| 2438s | just say please do your best to be |
| 2440s | constructive and in return we'll do our |
| 2443s | best to listen respond and keep making |
| 2446s | changes and improvements hopefully like |
| 2448s | the ones we're doing now hopefully |
| 2449s | that's well received we know we believe |
| 2452s | that anthem is an amazing game but we do |
| 2454s | know there's a lot of work we have to do |
| 2456s | and we're ready to roll our sleeves up |
| 2458s | and fix the things that have to get |
| 2459s | fixed and and add that things need to |
| 2461s | get added so that's kind of our |
