| 0s | you |
|---|---|
| 36s | hello everyone welcome to another anthem |
| 39s | livestream my name is Jesse Anderson one |
| 40s | of two community managers on anthem |
| 43s | today on the sticks we've got AJ so I |
| 46s | will not be playing and we have a very |
| 48s | special guest today would you like to |
| 50s | introduce yourself yeah I'm Chris |
| 51s | Schmidt I am the lead systems designer |
| 53s | on anthem and we're gonna tell you about |
| 55s | some cool stuff coming up all right so |
| 59s | can we swap to the gameplay so as you |
| 62s | see here we're in for Tarsus Chris do |
| 66s | you wanna talk about a new thing we got |
| 67s | coming up yeah so we have Elysium cash |
| 70s | is coming and Elysium cashes our cashes |
| 74s | at the end of strongholds right right |
| 76s | after you kill the boss and they require |
| 78s | a key to open so how do I get a key well |
| 81s | every single day there's one daily that |
| 83s | rewards you a key and one of the changes |
| 85s | we've made is if AJ hits the daily |
| 88s | trials here it actually shortcuts you |
| 91s | straight to show all of your dailies |
| 92s | previously there was like one panel that |
| 94s | showed you one of your dailies and then |
| 96s | we indicate exactly which daily here |
| 98s | gives you the key so if he clicks into |
| 101s | legendary contract here I can see yep |
| 103s | there's the key once I get that key I |
| 106s | can go into a stronghold and open a |
| 109s | chest and what happens is it gives me a |
| 111s | piece of vanity or crafting mats for |
| 114s | every one that is present so it one |
| 117s | chest will spawn something for all four |
| 119s | people I can always see on my HUD you'll |
| 122s | also notice next to coin if you back out |
| 124s | all the way that I have a little icon |
| 126s | there |
| 127s | I'll show us how many keys I have at all |
| 129s | times up in the upper left hand corner |
| 131s | there with with all those coins to |
| 134s | million coins well done |
| 135s | Wow someone's been hoarding so it's |
| 139s | after the boss you said in a stronghold |
| 141s | that that happens yeah so the chest |
| 142s | won't spawn in until you kill the boss |
| 144s | and then instead of that quest countdown |
| 146s | timer or mission countdown timer that |
| 148s | hits right now you have a little bit of |
| 150s | time to go open the chests if everyone |
| 153s | opens a chest everyone gets all four |
| 155s | pieces of cash loot or if only one |
| 160s | person is a key that's cool too everyone |
| 162s | still benefits |
| 163s | so this is for a limited time so you |
| 166s | want to get in there |
| 167s | you'll never get a duplicate vanity |
| 169s | piece they're all exclusive to these |
| 171s | chests so once you get it you've gotten |
| 173s | it it's not gonna there's no dupes or |
| 174s | anything like that and there's lots of |
| 176s | crafting mats in there there's bundles |
| 178s | of I think 30 masterwork embers at a |
| 179s | time so good stuff in there to go chase |
| 182s | awesome so I know one question a lot of |
| 186s | players are probably thinking like well |
| 188s | why do we want to kill the boss right |
| 190s | now I see a lot of community feedback of |
| 192s | it's not worth it to kill the boss so do |
| 194s | we have any other changes we're doing - |
| 197s | boss salute I mean I heard everyone |
| 199s | loves the monitor so much that all they |
| 201s | want to do is kill the monitor and |
| 203s | harder rage but no actual absolutely so |
| 206s | I had indicated also on on reddit I |
| 209s | think I think we've talked about it a |
| 210s | little bit that there were a number of |
| 212s | issues there but so we've we've heard |
| 215s | your feedback we've we've looked at the |
| 217s | problem and there's a few things the |
| 218s | first of which not loot related is we're |
| 221s | not gonna let you start into a |
| 223s | stronghold more than about two minutes |
| 224s | into it |
| 225s | so no more starting at the monitor I'm |
| 227s | really sorry I know that that was that's |
| 230s | a bummer but the loot itself |
| 232s | previously on bosses we had like one |
| 234s | guaranteed masterwork or depending on |
| 236s | the on the difficulties of GM to would |
| 238s | have a couple but as as everyone noted |
| 241s | that also prevented you from rolling a |
| 243s | legendary so what we've done is we've |
| 246s | still maintained that one guaranteed |
| 248s | masterwork but we do additional roles on |
| 251s | the boss now and it's uncapped so you |
| 254s | have a good chance of a legendary and |
| 256s | you should see more things coming off |
| 258s | the boss in addition to that the chests |
| 261s | that you see around in strongholds in |
| 264s | even in free play they've gotten a |
| 267s | little bit of a boost as well so you |
| 268s | should see some more items coming from |
| 270s | those I think that's a pretty pretty |
| 273s | solid reason to kill bosses now yeah all |
| 278s | right so where we're at right now AJ can |
| 280s | you go ahead and go into the forge |
| 286s | so can well so basically now okay so |
| 290s | check this out if you notice there he |
| 293s | didn't hit any loading screen it just |
| 295s | went right in and it seems pretty quick |
| 298s | also you notice he can get to it from |
| 301s | the main meeting so if you back out from |
| 302s | this menu one second you can also access |
| 306s | it from you just go into the options you |
| 311s | can just go right into it anywhere from |
| 313s | in for Tarsus now so pretty cool another |
| 315s | improvement we've made to you know speed |
| 318s | things up a little bit |
| 319s | I know those my components oh yes on the |
| 322s | on the side now you can see all the |
| 323s | components you've got equipped so you |
| 324s | don't have to go in and say oh what do I |
| 327s | have equipped you can just see it from |
| 328s | right here so yeah this is one of those |
| 331s | examples of you know what what Chad's |
| 334s | talked about and a number of people that |
| 336s | we have these we have a lot of issues |
| 338s | that we want to solve that take some |
| 339s | time but we want to do incremental steps |
| 342s | to get us there and so this is one of |
| 344s | those incremental steps that to improve |
| 346s | kind of game flow lesson loads show you |
| 349s | more information about your things and |
| 350s | so these things will continue to add up |
| 352s | over time until we get to where we want |
| 354s | to be yeah all right so now let's go |
| 359s | ahead and hop into the other new thing |
| 361s | which is legendary missions so we talked |
| 364s | about this a little bit before but |
| 366s | essentially legendary missions are crit |
| 370s | paths you know missions that you've done |
| 372s | before once you did and once that was it |
| 374s | you could never go back and do them |
| 375s | again so we've made the ability now |
| 378s | where once a day there'll be a legendary |
| 380s | mission available and it just cycles |
| 382s | through randomly which one it'll be |
| 384s | every day good news is you can run it as |
| 386s | many times as you want so if you're like |
| 388s | oh I already ran it but a friend needs |
| 389s | it you can still run it again and still |
| 392s | get rewards at the end believe it's a |
| 395s | chest you get at the end there's a chest |
| 397s | at the end there's also what we've done |
| 400s | is put in at least one apex creature and |
| 403s | what an apex creature is is either like |
| 405s | an earth six a Titan a luminary or a |
| 408s | what am I missing missing something |
| 414s | very exciting luminary and fury yes yes |
| 417s | there we go so so yeah what we've done |
| 420s | is added those to the end and those |
| 421s | essentially are bosses that roll into |
| 423s | some nice loot tables and so anyway what |
| 427s | makes a legendary mission a little |
| 429s | different is we took off the the |
| 431s | bookends as we call them which is the |
| 433s | conversations you would have in for |
| 435s | Tarsus at the beginning and the end so |
| 437s | you don't have to go get these missions |
| 439s | they're just on your map every day you |
| 440s | can repeat them pretty quickly and then |
| 444s | during the mission we've actually amped |
| 447s | up all the encounters we've we've made |
| 449s | them basically balance them to a full |
| 452s | party and we've made the encounters more |
| 456s | difficult so if you've noticed a |
| 457s | difference between say a contract and a |
| 459s | legendary contract that's that's sort of |
| 462s | the difference you can expect except |
| 463s | these things are tuned just below |
| 465s | strongholds so they should be a new kind |
| 468s | of pretty challenging piece of piece of |
| 471s | content and I believe we are coming out |
| 475s | with six different missions and as Jesse |
| 480s | said there will be one available each |
| 482s | day but you can run it as many times as |
| 484s | you'd like next day new mission run that |
| 487s | as many times as you like yep so now |
| 490s | we've we've jumped in here to a |
| 492s | legendary mission we've got a finding |
| 494s | old friends so nice I'm out there yeah |
| 498s | if you just want to get started here AJ |
| 500s | and well we'll start showing how how |
| 502s | it's changed a bit so yeah these have |
| 504s | harder enemies now they're Upton |
| 506s | difficulty so did you talk about how I |
| 510s | don't I wasn't sorry |
| 511s | halfway paying attention of single chat |
| 512s | was saying but basically enemies now are |
| 515s | leveled up essentially right so if they |
| 518s | were a regular six before it might be a |
| 520s | legendary or sex or yeah exactly and so |
| 523s | and they've they've we've basically |
| 526s | added in not only along the way making |
| 529s | the encounters a little more difficult |
| 530s | but at least if there was a former let's |
| 533s | say named encounter like you know a |
| 537s | named boss now it's an actually named |
| 540s | large boss like if it was maybe a scar |
| 544s | before now perhaps it's a it's an Ascari |
| 546s | elder or |
| 548s | you know a Titan or something like that |
| 549s | so they have ample opportunity for the |
| 553s | increased loot drops that we added last |
| 555s | week which still apply to everything so |
| 560s | yeah it should be a good time it should |
| 561s | be a decent challenge and so for those |
| 565s | that didn't catch it they are playing on |
| 566s | GM one so everyone is pretty geared up |
| 569s | in this group |
| 570s | we'll see if anybody dies AJ's already |
| 573s | already taking some damage I don't know |
| 576s | where your buddies at there we go |
| 578s | let the Colossus run in there and do his |
| 580s | job so we also got some other notes and |
| 583s | stuff we want to run through today of |
| 585s | fixes coming in our next update which is |
| 587s | kind of already established now what our |
| 589s | updates are gonna go by so last one was |
| 591s | 103 or 10.3 I just say 103 it's a little |
| 595s | quicker so 104 is our next update which |
| 598s | we're aiming for it to come out next |
| 599s | week as we get closer we'll share a date |
| 602s | of when that's gonna land exactly but so |
| 606s | I guess we can kind of jump into some of |
| 607s | these these notes so the first well |
| 610s | let's skip that one I want to I want to |
| 611s | save that one for an AJ's not getting |
| 613s | murdered and we can we can have him show |
| 615s | some some cool things there but so for |
| 619s | one a lot of people been asking about |
| 621s | Nvidia DL SS support it's here it |
| 624s | arrives next update stop for those of |
| 627s | you with the RT X cards it's your lucky |
| 629s | day |
| 629s | oh so AJ is safe he's saved |
| 633s | can you go show us a new setting under |
| 636s | video for PC players so video here and |
| 642s | then you see a new tab here field of |
| 645s | view is that fov look at that so there's |
| 649s | lots of ways to tweak your fov we've got |
| 651s | on the ground zoomed pilot I don't need |
| 652s | to read them all but really cool we were |
| 656s | super happy to be able to get this in |
| 657s | for you all it's been very much a |
| 659s | requested feature and so yeah it's |
| 662s | coming in 104 next week |
| 664s | yeah yeah so if you want AJ you want to |
| 666s | show like ground fov to show like just |
| 669s | how much it can change it's like just |
| 672s | cranks it up just crank it to the |
| 674s | hundred it's it's I mean that's really |
| 678s | cool if you like me and we'll see you |
| 681s | more around there or if you want to get |
| 684s | a tighter whatever you want to play like |
| 685s | you like seeing your feet if you like |
| 687s | seeing your feet that you're let's see |
| 689s | what Chet says they're kind of them they |
| 693s | can't blowing up they're like ah first |
| 695s | person nope not not quite first person |
| 697s | however if you do the zoomed fov it can |
| 700s | get pretty darn close you want to show |
| 704s | that one the AJ like a few zoom in on |
| 705s | your gun like it's it's it's pretty |
| 707s | close right so it's it's pretty awesome |
| 712s | like like Chris said we're happy we got |
| 713s | that one in there yeah and this is |
| 714s | flight cranked up all the way you can |
| 717s | see it looks pretty different for people |
| 718s | who like to go out and farm it gives |
| 720s | away bigger viewer the field see those |
| 724s | there's harvest node locations but yeah |
| 728s | I don't know if you want to keep those |
| 730s | settings on that AJ that's totally your |
| 732s | call but you good with that all right |
| 736s | cool alright so yeah that's that's one |
| 739s | of the many many things we got coming up |
| 741s | so another one we've made some |
| 743s | performance improvements this one's kind |
| 747s | of interesting so the patch note is |
| 748s | we've improved performance on gameplay |
| 750s | effects that were updating or running |
| 753s | often to reduce performance strain so |
| 755s | for example things like whether the time |
| 757s | of day the UI I don't know how that is |
| 760s | really on the back end but basically |
| 762s | it's done in a way now that should help |
| 763s | improve performance for some players |
| 765s | yeah and when we say we're always |
| 767s | improving performance that's true |
| 769s | there's oh you know no one's ever |
| 771s | finished and so that we have some |
| 773s | changes here that should improve your |
| 776s | experience and we're just gonna you know |
| 778s | keep doing it every single patch we're |
| 780s | always looking for opportunities to |
| 781s | improve them performance so this is just |
| 783s | one of those steps so let's see let's |
| 787s | see if we can grab a question stream if |
| 789s | you guys have any questions try to not |
| 791s | spam them makes it a little harder to |
| 793s | read we're looking on questions both |
| 796s | from twitch and mixer so we each have |
| 798s | our source of truth to pull questions |
| 801s | from |
| 802s | let's see we got here yeah people asking |
| 809s | about you know performance in Crete like |
| 812s | we just spoke about that of how we're |
| 813s | always looking to |
| 814s | and prove that see any more to the story |
| 824s | I'll answer that one so for some people |
| 827s | who look at social media a lot of the |
| 831s | actors who portray the characters and |
| 834s | anthem were recently doing another mocap |
| 836s | session so I think that kind of speaks |
| 837s | you know that we're doing more story yep |
| 841s | let's see people's like more loot can I |
| 844s | already talked about it we're making it |
| 846s | better you can get more loot from chests |
| 848s | and bosses and we're not we're not done |
| 851s | there we're still making making |
| 853s | improvements yeah I see something about |
| 856s | salvaging we've made salvaging a little |
| 861s | snappier in the vault I believe yep but |
| 864s | again that's just one's one step in the |
| 866s | right direction there's a lot a lot of |
| 868s | things we want to do there but hopefully |
| 870s | you'll see you'll see a difference where |
| 871s | you can pretty rapidly the way I |
| 873s | understand it now is before you would |
| 875s | have to hit it and you see an animation |
| 876s | who is almost the same time if you just |
| 878s | you know salvaged it straight from your |
| 881s | menu after an expedition so now it |
| 882s | actually will be as you tap it it's |
| 884s | pretty much instant yes oh it should be |
| 886s | way faster so once this update drops you |
| 889s | know check it out let us know what you |
| 890s | what you think of it the components |
| 895s | dropping for other javelins so I know |
| 897s | this has been talked about in the |
| 899s | community a lot where people are you |
| 902s | know they're playing an interceptor and |
| 903s | they finally get a legendary and then |
| 904s | it's four Colossus teams looking into it |
| 907s | what's going on there I don't have any |
| 909s | answers yet just team is aware and |
| 911s | they're investigating what's going on |
| 913s | there there is a small percent chance |
| 915s | you can get a component for another |
| 917s | javelin that's the way it's intended so |
| 919s | mm-hmm |
| 920s | yep we're we're looking into it I'll see |
| 924s | any new enemies there bosses coming in |
| 926s | the future I'm sure there'll be |
| 930s | something down the road always looking |
| 932s | to explode again yeah we're not talking |
| 935s | specifics but but yeah I mean we're |
| 938s | we're just didn't in those things too |
| 940s | it's important to expand you know the |
| 943s | game world and to improve the experience |
| 945s | so |
| 946s | we're definitely doing doing both of |
| 948s | those things all right so let's see I |
| 953s | will jump into a few more of the other |
| 955s | the other notes we've got here so also |
| 957s | this is just a preview of some of the |
| 959s | stuff for the notes this isn't |
| 960s | everything that we're talking about here |
| 962s | on stream so you're aware of how big |
| 965s | this update is I think when I got done |
| 966s | putting the patch notes together they |
| 968s | were 13 word doc pages so it's it's a |
| 972s | lot very detailed a lot of changes for |
| 976s | components for javelins pretty much |
| 980s | buffs across the board from what I saw |
| 982s | in a lot of a lot of things which made |
| 985s | me smile yeah I see someone's asking |
| 988s | about fog walls okay that's the next one |
| 990s | I have on my notes so it's actually yeah |
| 992s | yeah good question |
| 994s | everyone loves fog walls no so we've |
| 997s | done a pass and removed a lot of fog |
| 1000s | walls especially the the biggest |
| 1003s | offenders in stronghold so we're pretty |
| 1005s | confident you should not run into many |
| 1008s | if at all but you know there's always a |
| 1012s | chance there's one left but you know |
| 1014s | we've I think we've we've hit almost all |
| 1015s | of them yeah yep definitely some |
| 1017s | improvements there and for players that |
| 1019s | are running into that issue in tempo |
| 1021s | Lascar if you do get stuck you can |
| 1024s | select to respawn on your squad after |
| 1026s | the encounter is finished it will move |
| 1027s | you ahead yeah you can go to your map |
| 1029s | and then it's a it's a button press |
| 1031s | there to respawn and it'll just put you |
| 1034s | right into the right yep its spot just a |
| 1037s | temporary until it's fixed then the |
| 1039s | update next week yeah um let's see what |
| 1042s | else do we go so we're still working on |
| 1044s | quick play improving that with a lot of |
| 1046s | the missions I know players reporting |
| 1048s | they get in there that Dominion spy like |
| 1051s | I joke around that he was hiding really |
| 1052s | really good kid he couldn't couldn't |
| 1054s | find him but so a lot of those issues |
| 1058s | fixed and as an extra precaution err but |
| 1061s | the team has done is once a quick clean |
| 1063s | mission has reached a 15 minute timer |
| 1065s | you can't match make into it anymore so |
| 1068s | if in the chance that one does break you |
| 1071s | won't keep getting put into that same |
| 1072s | one over and over and over so yeah so |
| 1074s | ultimately what that means is your quick |
| 1076s | play experience should just be better |
| 1078s | yep the odds that you get into a broken |
| 1080s | mission should be pretty low and again |
| 1083s | the stronghold issue which was similar |
| 1087s | to quick play but different you know |
| 1089s | when I cue into a stronghold I should I |
| 1091s | should be at the beginning every time |
| 1093s | yep for sure see oh this one was |
| 1098s | interesting people brought to my |
| 1099s | attention I was like oh where are you |
| 1100s | fixing it cool so if you're in a down |
| 1102s | state and you got your 30-second timer |
| 1104s | counting down and someone attempted to |
| 1106s | revive you and then they stopped your |
| 1110s | timer would go back up to thirty seconds |
| 1112s | so that is fixed so now that doesn't |
| 1115s | happen anymore less annoying that was |
| 1121s | kind of like oh let's see we've done |
| 1124s | more fixes I was actually talking a team |
| 1125s | today on crashes that players were |
| 1128s | experiencing still we fixed a lot more |
| 1131s | of different kind of scenarios that |
| 1134s | could cause you to crash so we're still |
| 1136s | always looking to improve stability on |
| 1139s | that front yeah yeah here's another one |
| 1142s | that would randomly affect players being |
| 1144s | able to interact with items so sometimes |
| 1147s | there'd be that one player in the group |
| 1148s | they would be unable to interact with |
| 1151s | anything whether it be reviving another |
| 1152s | player or a room room or anything they |
| 1156s | wouldn't be able to so that is also |
| 1157s | fixed a couple of nice changes that as |
| 1164s | we see Ajay kind of flying around we've |
| 1167s | increased for all javelins the max |
| 1169s | thrusters by about 20% and we've |
| 1171s | decreased the overheat duration that one |
| 1174s | is good so yeah when you do overheat you |
| 1178s | shouldn't overheat it'll take longer to |
| 1179s | overheat and when you do overheat it |
| 1181s | should be for less time that your dad |
| 1182s | yep so you know especially with with the |
| 1185s | storm hovering players like myself |
| 1187s | that's a big one that helps quite a bit |
| 1190s | yet yep so like yeah that went down |
| 1192s | pretty quick and if you've been noticing |
| 1194s | whenever ages flying around here that |
| 1197s | it's it takes a lot longer to overheat |
| 1199s | so I can only and that's across all |
| 1200s | javelin so I'm sure storms can just kind |
| 1202s | of really go to town but flying around |
| 1204s | even more |
| 1207s | oh yeah an AJ doesn't have components |
| 1212s | there's there's a I believe there's a |
| 1213s | universal component added and one a |
| 1215s | three that increased like flight |
| 1217s | duration by another 50% so I mean with |
| 1221s | that come behind you can just really fly |
| 1222s | around for a long time |
| 1223s | yep I see a lot of people asking about |
| 1227s | at least on mixer about waypoints on the |
| 1230s | map you know we talked in general about |
| 1234s | we know we want to improve the nonverbal |
| 1238s | communication tool as an anthem and that |
| 1239s | would include everything from you know |
| 1242s | like waypoints on the map or a way to |
| 1244s | communicate with somebody that's not |
| 1246s | just you know miming an emote |
| 1247s | so you know definitely on our radar |
| 1249s | definitely things we're looking into and |
| 1252s | building to I don't have any specifics |
| 1253s | to share but we hear you and and we're |
| 1256s | working towards it so interesting thing |
| 1258s | AJ was I know what he was trying to show |
| 1260s | me and and Camden they're also they're |
| 1262s | just spinny boys right now but he's not |
| 1266s | pressing the button multiple times so an |
| 1268s | improvement we've made we heard player |
| 1270s | feedback they don't like having a mash |
| 1271s | all the time |
| 1272s | so once you start mailing with the |
| 1274s | Interceptor you can just press it once |
| 1275s | and hold it and you can just change the |
| 1276s | direction where you want to get the |
| 1278s | blade machine now no I did hear that |
| 1281s | doesn't apply to the ultimate yum we |
| 1283s | didn't want to do a changes across the |
| 1285s | board probably so let us know feedback |
| 1286s | if you like still when you have that |
| 1288s | ultimate just you know if it feels good |
| 1289s | or if you'd like no I just want to hold |
| 1291s | the button down on that - I mean just |
| 1292s | chain around listening so let's see what |
| 1298s | else do we got oh yeah I just wrote a |
| 1300s | note here lots of changes to components |
| 1302s | and gear for all javelins so I'm trying |
| 1305s | to remember some of the the ones I play |
| 1307s | Colossus a lot so I was looking at those |
| 1309s | but there is one where it was like best |
| 1312s | defense damage just increased across the |
| 1314s | board I think 25% the other 20 or 25% |
| 1316s | which I'm just like okay that's cool |
| 1319s | so yeah what's lots of buffs there we |
| 1323s | are adding more Universal components |
| 1325s | also and in this next update I've got |
| 1328s | them here but yeah they're kind of |
| 1330s | targeted towards weapon and gun play so |
| 1333s | you know a couple of examples let's see |
| 1336s | I like acid slugs which is a |
| 1339s | enhance its a shotgun oriented one so |
| 1342s | enhanced shotgun in ammunition and |
| 1343s | increases damage and if you hit seven |
| 1345s | shotgun shots in a single burst it |
| 1347s | applies acid on the target pretty cool |
| 1350s | yeah AJ did you want to go in there you |
| 1352s | uh yeah no you're fine I just didn't |
| 1357s | know if you were like you were scared to |
| 1359s | go talk to the cool cool |
| 1364s | all right well we can yeah whenever |
| 1366s | you're ready cuz I know there's more to |
| 1368s | this mission afterwards and I'm sure |
| 1370s | players would like to see how it ends |
| 1372s | also and be like show us how it heads |
| 1376s | let's see any more cool |
| 1378s | can you guys buff more masterworks I |
| 1382s | want to say some of the master works are |
| 1384s | being buffed also I was looking through |
| 1386s | the notes yeah there's a whole lot of |
| 1388s | specifics which makes up a lot of the |
| 1390s | pages of the patch notes but especially |
| 1392s | for individual items I see a lot of |
| 1394s | individual items being asked about I |
| 1396s | don't remember them all off the top may |
| 1398s | have but there's a whole lot of fixes |
| 1400s | there and buffs yeah there was one there |
| 1402s | was a fix I remember it was the the one |
| 1407s | that was for storms was was broken where |
| 1409s | they didn't get the buff that's fixed no |
| 1411s | no for storms it was like it just wasn't |
| 1413s | applying right bonuses yeah so that |
| 1416s | one's been fixed let's see what else you |
| 1420s | read that you bet that we talked about |
| 1422s | that talked about a lot of this stuff |
| 1425s | trying to I should have put more here I |
| 1427s | know there was more notes but um you'll |
| 1429s | see also spoiler if you haven't seen the |
| 1432s | scene before |
| 1433s | gosh aj no there's not too many big |
| 1437s | spoilers here it's for anyone who's |
| 1439s | played the game this is a really cool |
| 1440s | scene and yeah you get to re-watch the |
| 1442s | cutscenes in these two which i think |
| 1444s | it's pretty cool but let's see any other |
| 1448s | yeah someone asked about the acid slugs |
| 1452s | what that is it's a universal component |
| 1454s | so that's added to the pool there's one |
| 1456s | for each weapon that's been added so |
| 1459s | that should bring some new interesting |
| 1462s | ways to play with weapon bonuses so so I |
| 1465s | see this one I'm not gonna I'm not going |
| 1467s | to dodge it people are talking about the |
| 1470s | the display bug with armor so the team |
| 1472s | is still working on it |
| 1473s | they've made some improvements so that |
| 1475s | it should they've identified some of the |
| 1477s | things that were causing it and it was |
| 1479s | for those who were talking about it |
| 1480s | there were two sides of it there was a |
| 1482s | UI side to wearing it looked like you |
| 1484s | would have more or less health and then |
| 1486s | the other one was you functionally would |
| 1488s | have less health yep so we'd be I |
| 1490s | believe we've addressed most of that and |
| 1493s | the next update but let us know if you |
| 1497s | see anything weird but otherwise no we |
| 1499s | hope we've got at all yep as a lot of |
| 1502s | these are you know it's just the reality |
| 1505s | they're they're pretty complicated fixes |
| 1507s | they have several several components to |
| 1509s | them so you know we we make our fixes we |
| 1513s | give it our best crack we test test test |
| 1516s | and and you know inevitably sometimes at |
| 1519s | the last second there's a thing that'll |
| 1520s | pop up but you know it's it's it's a lot |
| 1524s | of work to try to find the act all the |
| 1526s | little pieces to fix but you know we're |
| 1529s | working hard and we're and we understand |
| 1531s | the frustration and we're just attacking |
| 1532s | as much as we can let's say people are |
| 1539s | asking about Ranger updates like I said |
| 1541s | all javelins across the board with their |
| 1544s | components and abilities have been |
| 1546s | pretty much buffed in some way from what |
| 1549s | I've seen there might have been one that |
| 1551s | was like a slight decrease I'm trying to |
| 1554s | member what it was but overall like |
| 1557s | everything got pretty pretty |
| 1558s | significantly boosted a couple of |
| 1560s | abilities changed too in other words one |
| 1562s | on Colossus that made it so when you got |
| 1565s | hit it increased like your bike heat |
| 1568s | reduction or something like that which |
| 1569s | you know it's kind of like okay that's |
| 1571s | cool but now it's when you get hit you |
| 1573s | just start doing more damage so which is |
| 1575s | pretty cool you know yep you're in there |
| 1577s | getting shot you just start hitting |
| 1578s | things harder same with the master work |
| 1582s | flamethrower I forget the name of it but |
| 1584s | basically before on kills it would start |
| 1586s | doing more damage now on hit it starts |
| 1589s | doing more damage so it's like the |
| 1590s | numbers went down on that but now you |
| 1592s | don't have to kill things you can just |
| 1593s | stack it right away from hitting things |
| 1594s | pretty cool yep |
| 1597s | I've seen someone asked about the |
| 1599s | interact button occasionally not working |
| 1601s | we covered that a little earlier we have |
| 1604s | fixing this patch for that also I see a |
| 1609s | lot of questions about scaling so I kind |
| 1614s | of talked about this a little online on |
| 1616s | on a couple of different channels we |
| 1617s | have but the scaling problem in general |
| 1620s | there's a lot of pieces to some overall |
| 1624s | issues we're working towards right so in |
| 1627s | this game as I imagine everyone that |
| 1629s | realizes things like scaling difficulty |
| 1632s | stats progression loot they're all kind |
| 1636s | of tied together and we understand that |
| 1638s | and so it's not there's not really any |
| 1640s | quick immediate fixes for that but what |
| 1642s | we did is again speaking to you know |
| 1645s | what Chad referred to on Twitter we have |
| 1647s | a plan we have a long term plan and then |
| 1649s | we work backwards and we have these |
| 1652s | intermittent fixes to get us there or |
| 1654s | not intermittent sorry but these |
| 1657s | piecemeal fixes to get us there so it's |
| 1659s | not a very quick thing to solve but we |
| 1661s | are working towards the spot where you |
| 1664s | know scaling and progression and looting |
| 1665s | it all feels real nice and where we want |
| 1668s | it to be so it's gonna take a little |
| 1670s | while to get there but again each patch |
| 1673s | you should see incremental progress |
| 1675s | towards that and scaling is is one piece |
| 1677s | of that |
| 1677s | so definitely we're definitely aware |
| 1680s | we're definitely working hard on it well |
| 1683s | people keep asking about it even though |
| 1686s | I don't I don't have an answer but |
| 1687s | people are asking about what we're |
| 1689s | looking at luck and what it does and |
| 1691s | thinking about it at all yeah we are |
| 1693s | looking at luck and we're thinking about |
| 1695s | it nothing to share I have my opinions |
| 1699s | about luck and and they're probably |
| 1701s | similar to yours but we're just trying |
| 1704s | to solve it the right way so yes |
| 1707s | absolutely |
| 1708s | looking at luck cool not this patch not |
| 1712s | always bad shit but yeah yep and I see |
| 1715s | other people asking about things we've |
| 1717s | already talking about new loading screen |
| 1719s | yes so that was an an elysian cache that |
| 1722s | you saw there so that's what it looks |
| 1724s | like yeah it's a fancy fancy cache |
| 1728s | or chest or whatever you want to call it |
| 1730s | another people come with their own |
| 1731s | unique name for it yeah and and you'll |
| 1734s | notice it's pretty obvious it's very |
| 1736s | similar to stronghold chess so once we |
| 1738s | do kill the boss in a stronghold you'll |
| 1741s | see there's the four caches and the icon |
| 1743s | is there it's on your compass pretty |
| 1745s | easy to find so should be no problem |
| 1748s | there let's see if someone asking here |
| 1750s | support gear master work so good |
| 1753s | question |
| 1754s | team is working on it still just want to |
| 1757s | make sure it's you know it's good it's |
| 1759s | solid it's not just you know another |
| 1761s | gear piece so more on that later |
| 1765s | I don't think there will be any and the |
| 1768s | next update but probably shortly after |
| 1771s | that I would say is it's safe yep I see |
| 1775s | a lot of achievement fixes questions too |
| 1777s | and yep we're we have a lot that we're |
| 1780s | investigating there isn't any really one |
| 1782s | or two achievements that are a problem |
| 1786s | there's just a lot of different ones for |
| 1788s | different people so you know it's |
| 1791s | complicated but we are definitely |
| 1794s | investigating all of them to see if we |
| 1796s | can we can get a fix in for you but |
| 1798s | nothing that I know of in this next in |
| 1801s | the patch next week but still on it |
| 1804s | let's see what else are people asking |
| 1809s | next javelin soon ye already bored of |
| 1812s | the four we've got like no way man who |
| 1817s | knows what the future holds but right |
| 1818s | now it's we got we got our javelins |
| 1823s | people asking about a stat screen like |
| 1825s | Ben has said on previous streams team is |
| 1828s | you know looking at all ways we could |
| 1830s | possibly do that I think we agree it's |
| 1833s | you know something we would like to do |
| 1835s | but we're you know we don't want to just |
| 1837s | throw something together and it you know |
| 1839s | doesn't meet the quality bar right yes |
| 1844s | agreed and I just so sorry I was trying |
| 1847s | to thought I just saw someone else about |
| 1848s | the Quint the Brynn quest for bug which |
| 1851s | I believe is the one where it disappears |
| 1854s | off of your math if if that's the same |
| 1858s | one there's a similar one with |
| 1859s | strongholds where some people it could |
| 1861s | disappear off your map and |
| 1862s | you wouldn't be able to pick a |
| 1863s | stronghold we do have that fix for this |
| 1866s | next patch and it should be fixed I |
| 1868s | believe for not only stronghold but also |
| 1871s | contracts and other places it was |
| 1872s | popping up yeah I know there are some |
| 1873s | people with the Mathias they were |
| 1875s | missing some yeah I believe we've |
| 1877s | addressed that but yeah no longer do you |
| 1878s | have to just message random people to |
| 1880s | hey my tyrant mine is missing can you |
| 1882s | group up with me so that I can run it |
| 1884s | again yeah exactly now you can just run |
| 1887s | them by yourself but probably not grid |
| 1890s | stronger together |
| 1891s | no no see oh this one uh can we skip |
| 1898s | cutscene so earlier |
| 1900s | can you skip like how AJ was in the |
| 1903s | cutscene earlier on this legendary |
| 1904s | mission I believe I could be wrong and |
| 1908s | my phone will probably buzz if I am but |
| 1910s | I believe if everyone in the party no no |
| 1913s | not for these so everybody oh it's yeah |
| 1917s | but these are only only a couple of the |
| 1919s | missions have a mid scene cutscene for |
| 1922s | the legendary missions so the beginning |
| 1924s | and end like we said in the beginning |
| 1926s | the beginning and end cinematics or |
| 1928s | cutscenes are taken out so just the |
| 1931s | middle ones remain and since these do |
| 1935s | rotate each day and we do have six you |
| 1937s | know there should be lots of options |
| 1938s | during the week got it all right Oh open |
| 1942s | chests |
| 1943s | this is it this is your moment man |
| 1948s | please be something good |
| 1954s | purples and blues really AJ you gonna |
| 1958s | stack that luck man said it's all your |
| 1960s | fault this was on gm1 to where we didn't |
| 1964s | do we didn't increase the loot drops |
| 1969s | that's correct yeah geom two and three |
| 1972s | have a pretty noticeable especially |
| 1975s | three if you can hit you can hit three |
| 1978s | it's I've seen some amazing screenshots |
| 1980s | from from players of they'll get to |
| 1982s | legendaries and like five master works |
| 1985s | from one thing which it results may vary |
| 1988s | it is rng on some of those things you |
| 1990s | know yep |
| 1992s | you should also start seeing more master |
| 1994s | work embers dropping in general from |
| 1997s | bosses especially GM two three yeah but |
| 2000s | also from all from chests in the world |
| 2002s | yeah so it does apply to all all chess |
| 2005s | also did we say how it's not just loop |
| 2007s | but you have a chance of getting embers |
| 2009s | also yeah like additional embers so that |
| 2012s | was I thought that was pretty cool so |
| 2013s | you have that extra you know I think |
| 2016s | it's like four items you can get on |
| 2018s | average but there's a chance to get even |
| 2020s | more items and more embers and them so |
| 2022s | yeah and and again its uncapped there's |
| 2026s | one guaranteed masterwork about every |
| 2028s | other role has a chance to be a |
| 2029s | legendary so bosses should feel pretty |
| 2034s | good pretty beefy |
| 2035s | I love the chat they're just like yep |
| 2038s | all Purple's all blues I just remember |
| 2043s | that was just one oh yeah sorry those |
| 2046s | drop the increase drops from the bosses |
| 2048s | is coming in the patch next week yeah |
| 2050s | we're talking and that does so the |
| 2052s | increased drop side is I understood it |
| 2054s | it does apply to GM one two and three it |
| 2057s | won't apply to normal or hard yeah so |
| 2059s | though there's a chance for more loot |
| 2061s | but then for the chance of like the |
| 2063s | higher drops is still just GM two and |
| 2066s | three yeah and it's additive so |
| 2068s | obviously more in GM two and more more |
| 2071s | in GM three and it's not just across the |
| 2073s | board it's it's additive depending on |
| 2076s | the difficulty so you should you should |
| 2077s | notice a difference and did you just hop |
| 2079s | straight into the forge so AJ hopped as |
| 2081s | you saw the end of expedition screen |
| 2083s | there how to |
| 2084s | right into the forge and could you know |
| 2086s | start equipment any gear make any |
| 2088s | changes before he went back into go-to |
| 2091s | for Tarsus yeah so yeah entering into |
| 2097s | the forge it's it's a pretty often used |
| 2100s | thing so we've essentially made this if |
| 2104s | he hits activate forge it's essentially |
| 2106s | instant yep you know one step in the |
| 2108s | right direction also as you notice we've |
| 2111s | been hearing a lot of stats screen as |
| 2112s | you mentioned earlier one small step |
| 2114s | towards that point is we had you know |
| 2116s | all the components in this view you can |
| 2119s | see we're building towards a direction |
| 2122s | there so definitely intentional another |
| 2125s | thing I know we made some improvements |
| 2127s | on I've seen a lot of people reporting |
| 2128s | the pilot data error mm-hmm so we made |
| 2131s | some more improvements there so you |
| 2133s | should encounter that less frequently |
| 2135s | yeah yeah lots of fixes there that are |
| 2140s | in next week's patch for sure |
| 2141s | let's see people want more customization |
| 2145s | so actually I saw some people asking |
| 2148s | wondering why we had I believe it was |
| 2150s | storm and Ranger that had the new armor |
| 2153s | packs yep and then they're like okay |
| 2155s | well where's where's interceptor and |
| 2157s | Colossus they were coming I believe |
| 2160s | they're coming with this next update so |
| 2163s | like shortly after that this next update |
| 2165s | happens they'll be kind of like that |
| 2166s | equivalent style differ for those two |
| 2170s | javelins someone asked about consumable |
| 2173s | organization I believe I believe we have |
| 2179s | sorting by rarity and name as the first |
| 2184s | step in this patch automatically sorted |
| 2186s | and so again and I've commented on this |
| 2190s | on reddit there's a lot of opportunities |
| 2192s | with consumables and so this is just one |
| 2195s | step we've heard you on things like you |
| 2197s | know the ability to craft multiple at |
| 2199s | once or you know how the flow is a |
| 2201s | little a little strange we're working on |
| 2204s | that and looking into you know how we |
| 2205s | can smooth that whole thing out yep |
| 2209s | I'll see anything else cool before we |
| 2213s | before where you going AJ |
| 2216s | just hopping in the free play um |
| 2219s | I can't let's see I'm kind of think if |
| 2221s | there any other improvements there in in |
| 2223s | free play I don't know if there were any |
| 2228s | or not in there so yeah there's some |
| 2232s | little little things yeah we noticed |
| 2234s | going in and out of water oh yeah yeah |
| 2237s | so there's like some transitions I |
| 2239s | noticed that when playing the other day |
| 2240s | like going into the water out of the |
| 2242s | water a lot of people were saying it's |
| 2243s | kind of jarring and felt stuttery I did |
| 2245s | it it's very smooth and and it's it's |
| 2248s | pretty cool actually if you could show |
| 2249s | like finding water anywhere and show |
| 2251s | that field of view slider also don't |
| 2254s | faceplant into a puddle I would not be |
| 2256s | good |
| 2257s | maybe up there by the fortress dawn or |
| 2259s | something let's see if there's any of |
| 2262s | their things don't faceplant man we have |
| 2272s | we have Lisa over in the comp corner |
| 2274s | saying do it now people ask me what's |
| 2279s | going on with SOI I believe that still |
| 2281s | being probably still being worked on Oh |
| 2283s | Chad talked about that before like I had |
| 2286s | said earlier if you missed it DLLs s |
| 2288s | support is added this update still |
| 2290s | working on the SOI ones the top left map |
| 2296s | and free place some little square icons |
| 2300s | did you have the map open you're getting |
| 2306s | some some mean things oh oh |
| 2309s | open the map a second where are you |
| 2310s | right right here yeah check out your map |
| 2312s | so you see now you can I don't know if |
| 2314s | we had that before I don't believe so I |
| 2316s | don't think we did but now it shows the |
| 2317s | area of where a free play event is so I |
| 2321s | believe even if you were to die and |
| 2323s | respawn it would show you where that is |
| 2325s | still I believe so you can you know get |
| 2329s | back there and and you're not like lost |
| 2331s | in the world |
| 2335s | let's see someone says yes a couple |
| 2338s | people said yes up some people like it |
| 2343s | was there before well if it was it's |
| 2344s | still there that's cool though |
| 2347s | someone wants grab it's to spew from the |
| 2349s | tyrant |
| 2350s | boss when you kill them I agree a little |
| 2353s | too soon for this patch but that is a |
| 2356s | great idea that would be terrifying that |
| 2360s | just no just cope fall zombies grab it's |
| 2367s | popping a gaggle of gravity that all |
| 2369s | they want to do is are people let's see |
| 2373s | grab it javelin win I want to say there |
| 2379s | might be like some grab it final may be |
| 2383s | pretty sure we have to find out later |
| 2386s | we're big fans grab its we do like |
| 2388s | Rapids there were limits there will be |
| 2389s | more grab it things patch ETA next week |
| 2396s | yep |
| 2398s | so probably as we get closer to whenever |
| 2401s | the patch would hit will probably share |
| 2403s | more details yep AJ you're just letting |
| 2411s | me down with that loot man they're still |
| 2415s | in gm1 okay okay that's fine I won't |
| 2418s | hold it against you and you're nuts yeah |
| 2422s | you don't have any luck luck is not on |
| 2424s | your side okay okay trying to find the |
| 2433s | water let's see what is this one win our |
| 2440s | patch notes |
| 2442s | there'll be shortly before whenever the |
| 2443s | update drops like we did before where we |
| 2445s | post some like the day before so |
| 2450s | probably do the same thing again want to |
| 2452s | make sure everything's in there I know |
| 2453s | last time people were upset that we |
| 2455s | didn't have everything in there so we |
| 2458s | want a triple check make sure we're not |
| 2459s | missing anything this time yeah we are |
| 2461s | not trying to hide anything there's just |
| 2463s | a lot like I said 13 pages of notes yeah |
| 2466s | a lot of moving parts we're not we're |
| 2469s | not ever going to intentionally keep a |
| 2471s | passionate from you and then we when we |
| 2473s | realized the mistake we'll get them out |
| 2474s | as soon as possible |
| 2475s | which I think we've been |
| 2477s | for sure I see people talking about like |
| 2480s | with with Luton here they're like you |
| 2483s | know what's the point of GM 1 if there's |
| 2485s | GM 2 there's also a lot of people you |
| 2488s | know if they're not quite ready for GM 2 |
| 2490s | and they just get in there and get |
| 2491s | stomped right away GM 1 it's a good |
| 2495s | oh yes yes we can show an image of that |
| 2497s | in the in a second but basically running |
| 2501s | a strongholds now on GM 1 also will |
| 2503s | yield more loot right absolutely |
| 2506s | so strongholds are probably I say the |
| 2509s | best way to get loot after the update |
| 2510s | yeah and the changes we made last week |
| 2513s | do apply to all difficulty modes which |
| 2515s | is those legendary creatures dropping |
| 2518s | more and better leave you know that's |
| 2521s | still applies but yeah I can't wait to |
| 2523s | get in there and try and see the changes |
| 2525s | on the bosses because I was one of those |
| 2527s | people who would quickly into cart of |
| 2530s | rage and I would kill the monitor every |
| 2533s | time I stuck around I did not leave |
| 2536s | doing a hero's work doing the heroes |
| 2538s | were like man just leave didn't do it |
| 2543s | stick around here we go oh wait AJ found |
| 2546s | water found deep water down deep water |
| 2548s | ok is this the oh yeah see it's like it |
| 2552s | seems smoother there to me anyway I |
| 2553s | don't know if anyone else thinks it |
| 2555s | looks smoother but dolphin dive dolphin |
| 2560s | scepter now people are gonna ask for |
| 2564s | like dolphin armor but it can look like |
| 2567s | a dolphin and just swim around and is |
| 2573s | that what the field of view pulled out |
| 2574s | AJ on the water so you can you can't you |
| 2580s | won't drown just sit under the water and |
| 2582s | and then pull the field of view out |
| 2584s | because I know some people had mentioned |
| 2585s | they don't like how it looks under water |
| 2587s | so we can show players what it looks |
| 2589s | like when you're zoomed out a little bit |
| 2591s | on there yeah 33 percent bump that up |
| 2595s | hundred there you go |
| 2601s | looks pretty cool and so if you leave |
| 2603s | the water now it should zoom back in you |
| 2607s | and then if you go back again it's |
| 2610s | pretty cool I like it |
| 2615s | more extreme oh what a J's gonna pilot |
| 2623s | feel it yeah what are you doing oh I |
| 2630s | know what he's doing |
| 2632s | zooms in so it's not too jarring it |
| 2634s | doesn't just snap back yeah that would |
| 2637s | make me not happy so field of view only |
| 2641s | for PC yes just for performance reasons |
| 2645s | I think mainly it's a little a little |
| 2648s | harder it does put some more strain I |
| 2650s | think on on resources with with pulling |
| 2653s | up at that camera view more someone's |
| 2657s | like okay I'm sold on the field of view |
| 2658s | slider sweet man did it for you a |
| 2662s | question can we have more inventory |
| 2665s | space yeah we're best getting that yeah |
| 2673s | you know inventory spaces and free on |
| 2676s | the on the back end and the database so |
| 2677s | we're looking at anything we can squeeze |
| 2679s | out of it right now to see what we can |
| 2683s | do so no promises but we're definitely |
| 2685s | definitely trying as we know especially |
| 2687s | as you explore different builds and |
| 2690s | different suits that becomes a bigger |
| 2692s | and bigger need and you know as the game |
| 2694s | gets older meaning you know in your |
| 2696s | first few hours I don't have a whole ton |
| 2698s | of stuff I need to hang on to but now |
| 2700s | you know I have lots of different |
| 2702s | horizontal builds I can do so yeah we're |
| 2704s | definitely we're aware we're looking |
| 2707s | into it and seeing what we can do there |
| 2709s | for sure yet we're not gonna hide it |
| 2712s | someone's like NPC vanished yes yes it |
| 2715s | did which I don't know if we talked |
| 2718s | about it so sometimes there can be |
| 2720s | different things I can cause enemies |
| 2721s | despawn so like when a world event pops |
| 2723s | up one of the things that would happen |
| 2727s | that really sucked is if you're fighting |
| 2728s | a Titan and then a world event appeared |
| 2730s | and someone else activated it your Titan |
| 2731s | would disappear yep but now that doesn't |
| 2734s | happen |
| 2734s | anymore yep we have that fixed for this |
| 2737s | patch next patch so enjoy your your |
| 2740s | sweet Titan lute all right so I think |
| 2745s | that is about about it for today I think |
| 2749s | we've covered just about most of stuff |
| 2751s | we want to like I said update is |
| 2754s | dropping next week as we get closer |
| 2756s | we'll let you know exactly what day that |
| 2758s | is on so you can plan accordingly patch |
| 2760s | notes will go up to do or unless Ben |
| 2763s | tells me no Ben Ben will be back from |
| 2767s | Australia soon he's you know he's done |
| 2770s | hanging out kangaroos and koalas and |
| 2772s | he'll be on a mission and have a very |
| 2774s | strong opinion about the patch notes may |
| 2776s | yes he probably will I'm sure he will |
| 2778s | but yeah thanks everyone for tuning in |
| 2781s | so we hope you got a lot of information |
| 2783s | out this and you can know what to expect |
| 2786s | in the next update our next stream will |
| 2788s | be a couple weeks probably we're trying |
| 2793s | to time it good with some more cool |
| 2795s | content coming to the game if you look |
| 2796s | at that you know our road map right now |
| 2799s | I might give you some ideas of what |
| 2800s | we're gonna show next time don't want to |
| 2802s | spoil it you can guess what it might be |
| 2804s | but yeah any other parting words Chris |
