20s	hello everyone and welcome to yet
23s	another day in the world of Vera and we
26s	have an exciting update for you today we
29s	are going to be showing off
31s	one of the most beloved Arch types in
35s	fantasy MMO RPGs the fighter Arch type
39s	and there has been a lot of work that's
41s	been done uh in progressing this
43s	obviously last time we showed anything
45s	remotely fighter related it was I think
47s	almost two years ago when we did our
49s	first um basic weapon melee weapon uh
53s	revamp from alpha one uh and there were
56s	a couple abilities obviously that we
57s	showed off but nothing like the Showcase
59s	we have stored for you today you are
61s	going to get some pretty
63s	in-depth understanding of how this
65s	archetype has been redesigned um and the
69s	progression that's going to be available
70s	as part of Alpha 2 and we have joining
72s	us to talk through that today two of our
76s	absolutely stellar and glorious senior
79s	designers on the combat team Trad Brian
82s	how are you guys doing doing pretty good
85s	here glad to be back on
87s	stream I'm doing great happy to be here
89s	happy to have you both I know you guys
91s	have put in a lot of work and and I
93s	think really representing pretty well
96s	what a lot of people who played Fighters
98s	and other MMOs love about the class I'm
100s	excited to chat with you about the
102s	direction you guys have taken um and
105s	obviously helping to make that a reality
107s	um feature team owner on the combat side
109s	as well as one of our senior Engineers
112s	Kenan how are you doing
114s	buddy I'm doing great thanks for having
116s	me and uh now that you mentioned I think
118s	that that original fighter stream was
119s	actually my first stream was it really
122s	yeah I think so oh I think it was I
124s	think you're right yeah that was uh
126s	there was a lot of work that went into
127s	kind of obviously changing the direction
129s	of of melee and combat in general at
131s	that time and now we have we are seeing
134s	some of the
135s	fruitful
136s	um persistence in that in that direction
140s	um so one other thing I want to let you
142s	guys know is obviously we are here back
144s	again uh in the riverlands and we are
147s	actually in front of Oak and Bane keep
149s	which is an area you guys saw at the end
152s	of the last live stream from the
153s	commission's live stream
155s	um and right when we ended that live
158s	stream a story arc began in this area
160s	called an ancient violence and we're
164s	going to be going in there and taking a
165s	look around but first I think what we
167s	should do is something that we have
169s	successfully done uh in the past with
172s	these showcases is kind of show off each
174s	individual ability first talk about what
177s	they do uh and give you guys a sense of
179s	the of the of the arc type and uh the
181s	abilities available to us before we get
183s	in to combat with some some freaky
186s	Goblin Town stuff um so do I have a
190s	volunteer today that could help tank
192s	some blows
194s	potentially yeah I'll help them nice
197s	awesome all right very cool um so which
200s	should we start with first what do you
202s	guys
206s	think um start with blitz Blitz all
209s	right let's see Blitz is the first one
211s	on the bar let's go let's go down the
212s	bar all right let's do
214s	it um actually you know what I'm sorry
218s	why don't we first start with
221s	momentum that sounds like a good idea
223s	because momentum is obviously going to
225s	be referenced in Blitz I was just
226s	looking at that uh and as well as a
228s	number of other abilities and momentum
231s	is essentially a class Energy System is
234s	that right tread that is correct talk to
238s	jum yeah I'll go into a little more
239s	detail about that so one thing that we
241s	feel adds a lot to just just class
244s	identity in general is something that is
247s	beyond just an ability in this case it's
248s	a a class or an in this case an
250s	archetype resource uh called combat
253s	momentum so in your top left of the
254s	screen here you'll see that you've got
256s	your standard health bar and your Mana
258s	bar and then a third empty bar that
260s	you'll see kind of build up in combat as
262s	we play um that you build up through all
265s	the different actions that you're doing
267s	um through the kit and you can use this
269s	resource to um uh get passive power to
273s	your character based on which form you
275s	were in which we'll get into it in a
276s	little bit here um and you can also
279s	spend it for certain unique um
281s	especially powerful bonuses so and guys
284s	just to remind everyone obviously
287s	everything you're going to see here is
288s	still a work in progress we are working
290s	towards Alpha 2 um especially as it
293s	relates to the UI as it relates to VFX
296s	um and Designs will change uh balances
299s	will change
301s	so keep that in mind what we're looking
302s	for is kind of direction right direction
304s	on these on this archetype what do you
306s	think looks cool uh what other what
308s	other fighter influences if you had in
310s	other MMOs that you think could be
312s	incorporated as well that's all part of
313s	the discussion um okay so momentum is
316s	that class energy ability and and as you
317s	guys have seen obviously other classes
319s	Trad is talking about has some similar
321s	kind of class uh energy
324s	mechanics um momentum is definitely it
328s	looks like it is as it sounds right I
331s	mean this is something that just
333s	passively is
334s	generating um increased uh stat bonuses
337s	and those stat bonuses um will'll get to
340s	in a little while of how they can be
341s	applied based on some some individual
343s	Buffs so now that we know what momentum
345s	is and it's good to generate that let us
347s	talk a little bit about Blitz what is
349s	Blitz as an
351s	ability yeah uh Blitz is your your Gap
355s	closer your bread and butter Gap closer
357s	uh you pick a Target and you charge to
360s	the Target um there's also a spec option
362s	that interacts with the resource if you
364s	choose it um that generates um some
367s	combat momentum so it let you kind of
368s	open the encounter uh with um a little
371s	bit of resource to start okay so I'm
373s	going to I'm going to charge the target
375s	directly and I'm going to deal damage on
378s	a rival which is physical based and this
380s	spec option says that it generates 20
383s	additional combat momentum now
386s	presumably combat momentum does not
388s	overflow after it hits the the
391s	maximum 100 points is that correct
393s	that's right yeah okay cool and then I
396s	see under it there is an additional um
399s	spec option that says uh killing an
402s	enemy with lethal blow will reset the
404s	coold down of Blitz so the more I kill
406s	essentially if I use lethal blow I can
409s	just keep that momentum up generating
412s	additional uh combat momentum so I can
414s	use a little bit after you know
416s	potentially landing on the Target and
418s	replenish that quickly after with with
421s	uh executing lethal blow on the target
423s	as a kill and then raging Blitz into the
426s	next yeah it turns you into more of a
428s	aggressive mobile character if you go
430s	with that like you're killing enemies
431s	and then you need to pick a new Target
433s	he might be far away you charge to him
435s	kill him rinse and repeat cool all right
437s	let's take a look at
440s	this ooh nice okay that was cool and
446s	presumably this also scales uh
448s	verticality as well
452s	Let's test it and guys for the purposes
454s	obviously of this demonstration I've set
455s	my cool Downs to zero so that I can more
457s	repeatedly use uh oh here we go we got
461s	some kill those little mushrooms
464s	huh I don't want to spoil the skills for
468s	you it's a kind of kind of Stormy day
471s	with this ancient violence in the
474s	background oh and by the way we are
476s	playing for the first time in in I
480s	believe in game uh the ren Kai Orcs got
485s	my trusty Mohawk going on it is probably
489s	the most
491s	appropriate uh race class
495s	combination I thought
498s	so all right so I'm going to try to jump
500s	I'm going to try to scale this thing on
501s	you let's see
503s	here oh man now that is cool that was
508s	awesome let me do that again yeah yeah
511s	this is kind of an answer you get to
513s	like that Archer on the ledge that's
515s	just free shooting on you and it's like
516s	oh I'm just going to get up there with
518s	you oh my bad there let me try this one
521s	more time one more
523s	time oh very
525s	nice okay so by by default so now let me
531s	try this oh did you just die I think
533s	that was a a bad nuke my bad from
536s	someone my bad no that was for sure my
539s	bad
543s	that feels really good by the way that
545s	feels
545s	clean very clean oh there's did somebody
549s	also die over
550s	here just a little mushroom oh a little
553s	mushroom okay okay Blitz Blitz feels
556s	really good well done with that I like
557s	that it's super smooth uh and fluid it
560s	feels um you know there's not really any
563s	movement Interruption either on contact
566s	or at the initiation um which is
568s	obviously one of the most you know ideal
570s	feeling points of any Mobility skill
573s	right is that fluidity uh uh
577s	throughout um okay let's talk about the
579s	next one so we have brutal
583s	cleave Yep this is probably your most
586s	bread and butter AOE attack um you can
589s	it it does a a medium amount of damage
591s	it's not one of your more spect uh
593s	spectacular aoe's but um it's your
596s	primary AOE resource generator so you're
598s	going to be using this a lot to build
599s	your momentum um and you also weave this
602s	a lot between your weapon combos because
604s	your weapon attack finishers will um
607s	reset seconds off of this cool down so
610s	if you're like going back and forth
612s	between Cleaves and and a and uh weapon
615s	attacks you get to do more of them and
616s	have more up time
620s	okay yeah that's pretty cool all right
622s	so this does also the more targets you
624s	hit uh so that's why it's really good in
625s	AOE situations is you get more momentum
627s	based on how many targets you're hitting
631s	got it so after jumping in with blitz if
634s	especially if there's multiple targets
636s	going with a brutal cleave is is just
637s	going to really ramp that momentum um
640s	and then it looks like also that this
642s	ability it says shares a coold down with
647s	overpower um and it says also the weapon
650s	combo finisher will reduce its coold
652s	down by 8
655s	seconds yep um so you'll be resetting
659s	overpowers more frequently cuz if we
661s	want to just jump over to that one
662s	that's the single Target counterpart to
665s	this attack um it's more it's just a
667s	single Target hit um but it is shorter
669s	cool down so you can reset them more
670s	frequently and it's also generating your
672s	resource so it it kind of you're
674s	choosing which one to use based on um
677s	what your your um enemies
679s	are very cool that looks great by the
683s	way Scott did a Scott and SAA have done
686s	an amazing
688s	job yeah I'm really happy with how the
690s	effects turned out like making physical
692s	look this cool like you
695s	know it was a
700s	fe oh my
703s	bad okay all right very cool I like that
706s	this uh brutal cleave is awesome um
709s	let's talk about MIM here let's go over
712s	here a little bit right
715s	here talk to me a little bit about
718s	M um so this is a more powerful AO AOE
722s	attack in the kit um do you have a spec
724s	right now for the uh yeah let me take a
725s	look here let me take and by the way
727s	brutal cleave I apologize uh there's no
729s	additional functionality it looks like
731s	on Brutal cleave uh but we did talk also
734s	about um overpowers on the right column
739s	um it's an autog granted ability so it's
741s	not going to be in this tree like got it
743s	there you go okay so it doesn't have any
745s	spec options either but MIM does and
749s	should I turn M off let me turn the spec
751s	option off first because this actually
753s	extends the distance of the projectile
757s	by essentially launching that piercing
759s	projectile is that right yeah let's take
761s	a point out of that first and then uh
763s	we'll just kind of look at the base
765s	effect okay um so this is just a cone in
768s	front of you you're hitting in a cone in
769s	front of you it's preey hitter um you're
772s	not resetting the cool down of this so
774s	you need to be more you know um uh aware
778s	of when you're using this
780s	but um it also has the added effect of
783s	it will do more damage against recently
785s	tripped enemies so that's where you
787s	really want to save this is if you've
788s	tripped someone um or if someone else
790s	has tripped an enemy you capitalize on
792s	it by basically smashing down on them
794s	with
796s	this that looks so good love it that is
800s	awesome okay so let's uh let's spec into
803s	the
806s	projectile now this is going to give you
808s	obviously a lot more range
812s	change
815s	oh this adds a a piercing projectile on
819s	top of the attack so you're still
820s	getting that frontal AOE hit boox that's
823s	staying the same but you're adding a
824s	projectile on top of it and the cool
826s	thing here too is the projectile gets
828s	the bonus of the the damage bonus from
830s	the trip so you could actually combo
832s	into a Target that you see trip from
834s	range um with this as well um one reason
837s	this is a spec option is some Fighters
840s	want to be using this in a way that you
842s	know you don't want to pull a mob in the
843s	distance so it's just kind of an added
845s	layer of skill if you're using this in
846s	like a really cluttered environment um
849s	but it's kind of a trade-off that feels
852s	really
854s	good that is awesome give myself some
861s	Mana there we go um okay cool I love MIM
866s	that is an awesome ability let's talk
868s	about uh battlecry
871s	this is definitely one of my personal
872s	favorites um it doesn't do damage but
875s	it's got some really cool effects going
877s	on with it um so do you want me to start
881s	talking about or you
883s	want okay cool um so I love this as an
886s	AOE opener um what it does it does a few
889s	things one um it RS your allies
892s	specifically your party members um it
894s	will also apply a status Effect called
896s	shaken to your enemies um and then it
899s	will generate a certain amount of combat
901s	momentum per Ally that you
906s	R and then uh just to elaborate because
909s	people are like what what is shaken what
911s	is what is RI well uh shaken right now
914s	um is a debuff on enemies that whenever
917s	they take damage they have a small
919s	chance to become tripped so there's some
921s	good combos with this where like you go
923s	into like a multi-hit AOE and you can
925s	capitalize on that and then by tripping
928s	or by triggering trips status um that
931s	flows into MIM really well so that's one
933s	of the combos I like to do is shout into
935s	like a a whirlwind which you'll see in a
937s	bit um into you know MIM to do extra
940s	damage against targets that of uh proed
943s	that
944s	effect yeah these are feeling great wow
947s	I do like the uh the battlecry that is
950s	like probably the most standard feeling
954s	like you know
956s	expected action on behalf of the fighter
959s	some type of battlecry effect and this
961s	one cap captures it
963s	well I love that that's cool um okay we
967s	saw Whirlwind uh back a while ago and
972s	talked to me about what's changed about
974s	Whirlwind um so rwind is actually pretty
978s	close to what it's always been um it's
980s	it's a it's an AOE channeled attack that
983s	ramps up in speed the longer you you you
986s	hold it um there's also a spec option on
988s	the right if you want want to pick that
990s	that gives um a final upward swing at
992s	the end um that has some additional
994s	bonuses to it um so let's do it without
997s	the spec
1003s	first all right cool so it exits out
1007s	after the essentially the spinning there
1009s	let's see yep I'm out of
1012s	Mana there we go let's try it
1017s	again yeah you're also able to move
1020s	during it as you're seeing here so it's
1022s	it's pretty nice to be able to just kind
1023s	of like use this while you're moving
1026s	through a pack of mobs got it so let me
1028s	spec now into the option that I could
1032s	invest additional points into this
1034s	particular skill if I wanted to give
1035s	myself a finishing blow
1044s	essentially oh nice okay so you get a
1047s	big hit at the end um Al you can stop
1049s	this at any time so you're seeing him do
1051s	the full Channel but if it's like oh I
1053s	want to you know cancel out of it early
1055s	for like let's say let's say one thing
1057s	I'll do from time to time is uh if I
1060s	Shake In enemies and then this this
1062s	ability is kind of good at uh tripping
1064s	enemies cuz it's hitting really rapidly
1066s	um you might see a trip and you can
1067s	cancel out of it into a m early um if
1070s	you want to show off that
1072s	combo into a MIM yep let's do
1076s	it there you go oh nice that's cool that
1080s	feels good let's
1085s	see that's so cool that's
1089s	awesome all right cool uh Whirlwind
1091s	feels good too all right cataclysm is
1094s	another one that we saw a while ago
1096s	what's changed with
1097s	cataclysm yeah a lot has changed with
1099s	this one um it used to be like this big
1103s	like Hammer that would appear over your
1104s	head and then it hit like an AOE kind of
1106s	far away from you overall it ended up
1108s	feeling a little awkward to use we
1109s	wanted to turn this more into like your
1111s	big frontal AOE damage so this is like
1114s	the other end of the spectrum like
1116s	stronger than Mame um it's just a big
1119s	ultimate like AOE attack essentially
1122s	it's it's pretty straightforward all
1124s	right no additional spec options here
1126s	and by the way for those of you out here
1128s	you know that are wondering about kind
1130s	of how augments even though we haven't
1132s	seen a lot of augment work being done a
1135s	lot of this Tech is foundational in
1138s	applying these types of spec options
1141s	which augments essentially are as well
1144s	but they can more radically change
1145s	fundamentally what the ability is so
1148s	that
1149s	Whirlwind you know adding an additional
1151s	component to the ability which is that
1154s	climactic climactic Whirlwind
1156s	essentially could be considered
1158s	functionally as an augment an additional
1160s	effect applied to the ability um okay
1164s	let us showcase that new
1168s	cataclysm
1170s	oh that feels much
1174s	better yeah that's cool this is also
1178s	another way to apply shaken enemies as
1180s	well um it and battlecry are kind of on
1183s	separate longer cool Downs so you might
1185s	find yourself sort of going bit back and
1187s	forth between these interchangeably and
1189s	you can change the direction here mid
1191s	mid wind up
1196s	yep nice I like that uh obvious the
1199s	granularity in
1200s	that yeah it gives you a little more
1202s	agency like you're not just locked in
1204s	place cuz it is a full rooted ability
1206s	you cannot move during this but being
1209s	able to turn like gives you a little bit
1211s	more you know control over what happens
1214s	as things might change mid cast okay
1217s	yeah I I totally agree I love that the
1219s	freedom feeling there um and that's
1222s	obviously something that you know is is
1224s	a philosophy and a standard that's taken
1226s	across a lot of the classes as it comes
1228s	to like you know rooted ability use and
1230s	whatnot um that that freedom of agency
1232s	that movement is core to kind of the
1234s	melee experience and and general skill
1237s	usage um all right next up we have
1240s	rupture y so this is an interesting one
1243s	um it's a single target attack um and it
1246s	puts a temporary debuff on your target
1249s	where if they are moving um while that
1253s	effect is on them they will build up
1255s	wounded Stacks um we can we can talk
1258s	about the we can talk about that S
1260s	effect in a moment here but talk about
1262s	the fact that he should have like
1263s	literally zero blood pressure remaining
1265s	after rupturing that much blood oh we
1269s	can build in that
1271s	mechanic um but also you'll notice at
1274s	the end of it he takes a big hit of
1275s	damage um and the idea is that that
1279s	damage will scale with how much wound
1282s	they have on them so this will have kind
1283s	of some inter Synergy going on with
1285s	itself but also um there will be other
1288s	sources of wound that you could kind of
1290s	synergize this with this F uh further
1292s	for that big delayed hit at the end wow
1294s	okay so the wounds the wounds are
1296s	essentially these these stacking
1298s	debuffs um that get
1301s	applied um and that's going to you said
1305s	decrease their healing received correct
1308s	and also increases damage taken from all
1312s	sources uh from physical sources from
1314s	physical sources got it very
1317s	cool yeah um and the more you build that
1320s	up cuz this is actually a stacking thing
1322s	um it's not just like a single status
1324s	effect so the more you're wounding the
1326s	target um the more and more debuffed
1329s	their healing incoming healing becomes
1332s	so it's one of those things where if a
1334s	fighter is like on your target that
1336s	you're trying to keep alive you want to
1338s	peel a fighter off that Target because
1339s	the longer they get that up time the
1341s	harder it's going to become to to heal
1343s	them
1348s	up
1350s	that's cool that's awesome okay love
1353s	rupture uh also love the an insane
1356s	amount of blood that's
1359s	happening um
1361s	overpower talk to me about overpower
1363s	what do we got here uh this we talked
1366s	about this one this was the uh the
1367s	resource generator that's right that's
1369s	right and that one doesn't have any
1370s	additional spec options the rupture also
1374s	um looks like did that one have spec
1377s	options um it does not but if you go in
1381s	so you'll you will see kind of to the
1382s	right of rupture there are some um
1385s	things that it
1386s	unlocks um like what's oh sorry below it
1389s	MIM actually if you go to MIM and then
1391s	to the right uh there are some things
1393s	over here that you get to unlock as well
1395s	which kind of synergize with with
1397s	rupture um for example brutality uh
1400s	allows you to start applying wound
1402s	Stacks through your weapon combos so if
1404s	you really want to lean into that that
1407s	utility uh like I'm a debuffing spec
1410s	fighter right like that's my thing that
1412s	I do you could go into this and now your
1414s	weapon attacks in in addition to
1416s	generating momentum are also applying
1418s	wounds to the Target love it um and then
1422s	this one this one adds more wound um
1425s	specialization if you go
1428s	down oh wow okay so this gives overpower
1431s	and brutal cleave wound
1433s	application yeah it's basically what
1435s	it's kind of doing is it's tying your
1438s	your your wound wounds to the way that
1440s	you're normally building momentum if you
1441s	want to kind of dual Speck into both
1444s	that's cool wow it's
1447s	strong okay um let's talk about this
1451s	apparent uh crippling
1454s	blow uh yeah sure so crippling blow this
1457s	one's pretty simple um this is a a
1460s	standard single Target snare um so a
1464s	pretty common combo you'd use is like
1466s	Blitz into a crippling blow if you're
1469s	like getting on top of a Target that's
1470s	trying to kite you um like if if you're
1473s	charging up on a ranger who's like the
1475s	last thing they want is your you in
1477s	their face like snaring them is going to
1479s	force them to maybe use a gap opener
1482s	because they're not able to outrun
1488s	you that's
1493s	cool so crippling blow is pretty strong
1496s	actually especially when it comes to PVP
1497s	I mean that that that's a
1499s	pretty significant reduction in movement
1503s	speed yeah it's it is single Target so
1506s	you do have to Choose Wisely who you are
1508s	snaring but um it's it's pretty nice um
1511s	to be able to just lock a Target down
1513s	not not like hard CC but just um make it
1516s	easier to stick on top of
1523s	them very cool all right crippling blow
1526s	and then we have lethal blow
1529s	this is another one of my favorites uh
1531s	this is the execute of the kit um it's
1533s	single Target as well um but the lower
1536s	Health they are um the harder it's going
1538s	to hit uh so this is this is really like
1541s	you're trying to do as much damage with
1543s	your other abilities as possible and
1544s	then when you get them like within that
1546s	kill threshold you're just going to hit
1548s	hit him with this hope for a crit maybe
1551s	um and you know finish him
1556s	off use it there you go oh my
1562s	God this does have um a couple spec
1564s	options as well one you kind of win over
1566s	if you kill them with that and you have
1568s	the spec that resets Blitz you could
1570s	immediately Blitz again um even if it
1573s	was off cool down when you got the
1577s	kill but if you want to open your skill
1579s	tree here we can look at the other one
1581s	let's talk about it and the uh sorry
1583s	crippling blow did not have any spec
1584s	options but lethal
1586s	blow does
1589s	yeah so um a lot of the time you know
1592s	I've I've played games where you know
1594s	executes hit really hard but you waste a
1596s	lot of the damage and it kind of it's
1598s	like oh I saw a cool big number but it
1599s	didn't really do anything it's kind of
1601s	wasted um this spec option lets you make
1604s	use out of that so it turns any Overkill
1606s	damage into like health and Mana return
1609s	to you that's awesome and you know what
1611s	I love about that it's at least as
1612s	relates to
1613s	PVP is that you do not have granularity
1617s	insight to the the opponent's hit point
1619s	so you're really rolling the dice if you
1622s	want to maximize efficacy on this
1623s	consuming lethal blow yeah that's how
1626s	I've been using it a lot like sometimes
1628s	I I pull it off other times I don't love
1631s	it that's super cool I like that
1633s	interaction there okay um let's go up
1635s	here we got blood
1638s	Fusion yeah so um kind of like that
1641s	lethal blow spec we were using this is
1642s	another way for the um fighter to get
1646s	health and Mana back to itself that's
1648s	kind of one way that the fighter
1649s	sustains itself cuz it's it's in the
1651s	thick of things right it's it's a
1653s	primary target um You' got to be in
1655s	danger to be doing a lot of what your
1657s	your kit does and this is this was this
1659s	is like one way the um fighter can stay
1662s	in the fight and if you pop this it's a
1664s	big cool down um but for the next six
1667s	seconds any damage you do will have a%
1669s	returned um as health and Mana to you
1673s	okay so let me somebody nuke me for like
1677s	500
1679s	you go ahead sh okay I don't want to do
1682s	it all I once multiple 500s like three
1685s	500 and then um I am going to deal some
1689s	damage here to see how much I get
1699s	back yep so that last hit missed the
1701s	window um but you got a good junk from
1704s	your other attacks um the the the value
1707s	of this is super variable based on when
1709s	you use it so if you pop it in the right
1711s	moment you've got a lot of targets
1712s	around you you're like popping your
1714s	aoe's like this is going to get a ton
1716s	more
1721s	value that was cool I like that so this
1724s	an insta cast that can happen in the
1726s	middle of any ability activation right
1729s	nice you could like start your cataclysm
1733s	and then pop that right before it lands
1736s	that's cool that is super cool
1744s	um oh yeah I see that okay very nice and
1747s	I like the uh the effect effect looks
1751s	great it's got more of that Blood Theme
1755s	yes I also love the audio for it it's
1757s	like you're consuming it a
1759s	bit all right let me grab whatever this
1764s	is oh bunch of stuff I think that was on
1767s	your corpse I'm sorry br man do that
1769s	right in front of you
1772s	disrespectful um okay cool uh let's skip
1775s	exer for now let's go to lunging
1778s	assault yeah so this is like going to be
1781s	one of your first Spenders of your
1784s	resource um this spender is more for
1786s	Mobility um it's a smaller spender um
1789s	but whenever you um use this you will
1791s	Dash forward a short distance and do an
1793s	attack at the end um and it's PR pretty
1796s	freely usable it doesn't have a very
1798s	long cool down it's just spending your
1800s	resource so the more resource you're
1801s	generating the more you're able to kind
1802s	of reposition and dash around the
1804s	battlefield and get some extra damage
1805s	out there I see now obviously utilizing
1809s	the resource with lunging assault
1811s	because you're dealing instances of
1813s	damage to enemies that you impact you
1815s	have an opportunity if executed if
1817s	executed well situationally that you
1821s	can you can actually probably have a net
1824s	gain with this if there's a huge amount
1827s	of enemies like a train or something
1829s	right yeah it would probably take a lot
1831s	of enemies to actually get a a profit
1833s	but you can at least mitigate the cost
1836s	uh through that spec choice of um if
1838s	you're hitting enemies you can you can
1840s	get resource back and therefore you're
1841s	getting to do this more and you're also
1843s	not losing the value of your resource
1846s	get that you're getting passively
1847s	through your forms which again will'll
1849s	get too soon cool cool okay uh let's try
1853s	this we go and now I don't need a target
1855s	for this I can just kind of no freely
1858s	it's
1866s	all
1868s	right that's cool oh
1872s	okay so it's kind of a not
1876s	too far a distance
1879s	there yeah it's meant to like be more of
1881s	a repositioner where you know you're
1883s	you're dancing around your target you
1885s	might um be zipping back and forth
1887s	between different enemies in melee right
1889s	um whereas your other you have other
1891s	tools for going longer distances you
1893s	have Blitz you have the next one that's
1894s	about to come up um from here um so
1897s	those are going to be more of your
1898s	longdistance um Mobility skills all
1901s	right let me try this this more long
1903s	distance Mobility skill here talk to me
1906s	about leap
1909s	strike yeah so this is like this is the
1914s	most uh free mobile distance yeah it's
1917s	it's very far and it doesn't require a
1919s	Target unlike Blitz um and you're also
1922s	going to basically deal damage and AOE
1924s	around it so it's just a more powerful
1926s	but less frequently usable um Gap closer
1930s	sloper if you even decid to use it as an
1935s	opener oh my
1939s	God I am the jugernaut
1943s	oh that was so cool I love
1947s	that yeah that's a fun one to use it's
1949s	holy smokes definitely more more AOE
1952s	focused and again guys I am using zero
1955s	cooldowns right now just so I can
1956s	demonstrate the abilities well I know
1958s	you're all thinking like what this
1959s	character is just going to fly around
1960s	the battlefield that's not what's
1962s	happening literal rocket I know you can
1965s	actually use this too to um go up on
1967s	Ledges like if you were to try and get
1970s	up on one of these Ledges we were trying
1972s	earlier yeah you don't even need a
1974s	Target to use it let me just check are
1976s	there any spec options here
1980s	uh not currently but there will
1982s	be all right let me try to jump up on
1987s	here oh that was too short I was too
1990s	short my bad let me try it again I going
1992s	try it again actually in usually I've
1996s	had more success when I'm covering gaps
1999s	rather than actually like trying to go
2001s	up different
2002s	verticali but sometimes yeah it works o
2005s	we did it we did it boys
2009s	it
2011s	happened very cool all right let's talk
2013s	a little bit about
2016s	um you know I thought I fixed time of
2019s	day but it feels like it's getting
2021s	darker I don't know um let's talk a
2024s	little bit about
2026s	uh next up these different forms that
2031s	I'm seeing
2033s	here yeah so the these are probably the
2037s	biggest like contributors to your um
2041s	combat momentum
2043s	resource um you can spend momentum but
2046s	it's a resource that's primarily meant
2048s	to be built up and maintained because of
2051s	the bonuses that these forms provide so
2054s	if we want to just look at one of the
2055s	first ones here we can go into a a
2057s	little more detail on how those work I'm
2060s	actually going to make it a little bit
2062s	whoops my bad I wanted to change the
2065s	time of day
2066s	slightly get some better l light over
2068s	here there we go
2071s	apologies um okay um which one am I
2074s	switching to anyone you want we'll get
2077s	through all let's go to you know I am
2079s	playing a ren Kai so ferocity sounds
2083s	good all right so now you'll notice in
2087s	the top left here he is in this form um
2091s	so as long as you don't change forms you
2095s	will permanently remain in the form of
2097s	uh ferocity we actually renamed this
2099s	recently so you'll see Tempest there but
2101s	um that went through a rename um so
2105s	while in this form uh your momentum will
2108s	increase your attack speed uh the higher
2111s	your momentum is so for every point of
2113s	momentum that you've got your attack
2114s	speed's going up so you're you're
2115s	basically ramping up that attack speed
2117s	as you generate so where I see right now
2119s	I'm at
2121s	86.9 yep let's generate some
2127s	momentum
2129s	your combo weapon combos are pretty good
2130s	for generating momentum as well
2133s	especially your
2134s	finishers here you
2137s	go okay 86.9 has gone to
2142s	99.2 yep up and it's dropping very nice
2146s	you got to stay in combat to keep the
2148s	resource
2150s	going and that's really what the fighter
2152s	is all about is like ramping up being in
2155s	M that that combat momentum hence the
2157s	name
2158s	um and when the fight wow it feels like
2161s	that the attack speed is even increasing
2164s	each individual ability speed as well
2169s	yep that's
2173s	huge that is super cool so if you were
2177s	to change forms you would lose the
2179s	attack speed bonus but immediately gain
2181s	the bonus of the corresponding
2187s	form
2193s	all right there
2195s	go so if you want to shift V into um
2199s	maybe a form of Solarity here all right
2202s	and that is on shift
2205s	V there you go now run
2207s	around you might have to Blitz him again
2209s	you probably need to get some mana and
2211s	then build it up a little more but oh my
2213s	bad get
2215s	Mana but this one increases your
2217s	movement speed so this lets you just
2219s	move around the battlefield a lot more
2222s	um nimbly um so if you need to like you
2226s	know close the gap a little bit and your
2228s	Gap closers on cool down or whatever
2230s	this is a good way of traversing the
2231s	field a bit faster yeah wow this is feel
2235s	yeah this is pretty
2237s	quick that's a significant speed
2246s	boost and then the third one is uh more
2249s	of a defensive option um bit more
2252s	situational uh but it is um a disable
2256s	resistance form uh this is form of
2261s	fluidity and while you're in it you much
2264s	more difficult to be CCD um so you be
2267s	more resistant to stuns to Roots um
2271s	trips pretty much anything that falls
2273s	into the CC C try to try to sleep me or
2276s	something sure I'll give a shot there's
2279s	a chance that I'll still hit you but
2281s	let's see I can't actually I'm in your
2284s	party oh okay no it's okay that's fine
2286s	all right so this is this is basically
2287s	when you want to uh to literally be
2290s	unstoppable through CC effects like this
2292s	is going to be a 40% reduction on that
2294s	that's pretty that's pretty powerful yep
2297s	and again all the numbers are kind of in
2299s	in tune or being tuned um we just when
2302s	we're testing these out we want them to
2303s	feel impactful just to validate that
2307s	they are you know cool things and then
2309s	we start to balance to to tone that back
2312s	down very
2315s	cool all right all right last but most
2321s	certainly not least is an ability called
2326s	God mode I mean excuse me what's it
2328s	called I'm sorry exert this is uh this
2331s	is exert yes my ear I know your segue
2334s	actually it's a great segue So speaking
2337s	of balance and what will be happening
2339s	obviously with Alpha 2 and even before
2341s	Alpha 2 we'll be balancing some of the
2343s	stuff so just keep that in mind however
2346s	segue here into god mode AKA exert uh we
2350s	have
2351s	what uh so if we go over here to the in
2354s	the skill tree to the left exert um this
2357s	is a very high cost very high payoff
2360s	like essentially like super mode that
2363s	you can go into and you're you're
2366s	rapidly spending yourone momentum while
2368s	you're in uh this form it's all or
2371s	nothing you can't turn it off once you
2373s	pop this you will stay in this mode
2374s	until your momentum is fully drained and
2376s	then you're going to have to build it
2377s	all the way back up again um meanwhile
2381s	you're getting increased attack speed um
2383s	you're getting uh CC immunity uh and
2388s	whatever else it says in
2389s	here we've got 20% increased attack and
2393s	movement speed and Immunity to disabling
2396s	effects wow
2398s	active so if you can kind of draw the
2400s	connection this is like you're taking
2402s	the three forms which are CC resistance
2404s	movement speed and TX speed and getting
2406s	just all three of them in a huge burst
2408s	for a small window of time very small
2411s	yes and that that small window is
2413s	potentially as it states here at least
2416s	it would be about 5 seconds if you're
2418s	fully if you're fully charged up on
2421s	momentum because it's it's essentially
2424s	ticking at 20% per second is that right
2428s	yep um and again all the numbers are
2431s	super tunable we will be tuning these
2433s	numbers but we're just kind of putting
2435s	them in a place where we can play test
2436s	them and as we get more effective with
2438s	these it's like okay now we're seeing
2440s	the ceiling of how powerful these things
2441s	are we're going to bring it back a
2442s	little bit let's talk about it spec
2445s	options yep uh so we've got uh one that
2450s	uh resets your cooldowns based on how
2452s	much momentum you had at Activation so
2454s	if you use this at 50 you know 50
2456s	momentum you would
2458s	uh take about half of your cool Downs
2460s	off but if you use it at full momentum
2462s	uh you would reset all your cool Downs
2464s	so you could just go straight into your
2466s	rotation upon popping this and then this
2469s	one is uh uh lets it act as a cc break
2472s	as well so this okay I like this this is
2476s	a nice com so you get increased uh
2479s	combat momentum with movement attack
2482s	speed and the immunity to disabling
2484s	effects and it becomes a cc break on
2487s	activate
2488s	if you're under the effects of CC and
2492s	depending on the amount percentage wise
2494s	of momentum you have available at time
2496s	of activation potentially will reset
2499s	your ability cooldowns as well this is
2502s	this is obviously guys I know a lot of
2505s	you out there right now are just
2506s	probably going insane in chat and I'm
2508s	just going to I'm assuming that this is
2510s	where we balance everything's going to
2512s	be balanced right this is just the
2514s	initial find the fun and and we're going
2516s	to to work around round balance here uh
2519s	but this is a cool ability this is
2522s	literally like
2523s	super I am a fighter hear me roar Glory
2529s	Be have you used it no I haven't got to
2532s	got to show it yeah let's do this let's
2534s	do this so I guess in order to properly
2538s	do this I should actually set my
2539s	cooldowns back do you have it fully
2542s	speced I do I have it fully speced Kenan
2545s	do you have a condemn on your body
2548s	and grab it real quick okay that's a
2550s	stun we could kind of we'll have Keenan
2553s	condemn you and then you'll just like
2554s	break out of it after you're full
2556s	momentum yeah let me get some let me
2558s	start generating
2560s	that love that Shield
2564s	effect oh and you know I got to get off
2566s	this uh form of fluidity let's go
2570s	to do ferocity yeah let's do
2576s	ferocity
2578s	you can probably Blitz him for a head
2579s	start on momentum into an
2585s	overpower keep an eye on your
2591s	Mana I me when you're ready to be
2596s	stunned okay I'm almost up
2603s	there but before you stun me let me um
2606s	let me start doing some abilities I am
2608s	feeling that
2611s	wound wait just don't kill
2613s	him I'm
2617s	not now you can stun me all right stun
2621s	them
2623s	up all right use it oh you don't have
2626s	did you not spec it Oh I thought I
2629s	did I thought I did spec it let's try it
2632s	again well let let's check the tree if
2635s	let me let me double Che there might be
2636s	an issue there did I spec it did I spec
2639s	it I do I do have it specked that's
2641s	weird we that used to work let's let's
2643s	double check hold on let's try one more
2645s	time and I'll I'll click on it this
2648s	time in case there was some finger
2649s	nanigans happening all right I'm ready I
2656s	think yeah oh I had an expression
2658s	failure sad all right well let's use it
2661s	without that that's that used to work my
2663s	bad guys welcome to bugs y that's okay
2668s	okay um now it's balanc let's show yeah
2670s	now it's balanced see the game wouldn't
2672s	even allow that level of imbalance no
2674s	I'm just kidding um okay let me generate
2677s	this up
2678s	again and get some
2696s	uh
2703s	okay I'm give myself some mana and now
2706s	let's use shift
2714s	two oh that's cool I love that effect
2717s	that effect looks
2720s	great let me show the effect one more
2722s	time while I'm not kind of moving around
2723s	and doing
2725s	stuff okay let me set my cool Downs real
2728s	quick one more time and is there can I
2731s	get myself Max uh momentum no there's an
2734s	there's a debug ability for it but I
2736s	would just say Blitz into overpower and
2738s	then weapon combo is the fastest way to
2740s	do
2743s	it that's main uh hit your a
2752s	button all
2756s	right I hope
2760s	still just I just keep this going all
2762s	the time I got no cool Downs
2766s	yeah now we're
2768s	cheating that is so
2771s	good oh that's so
2777s	good very cool all right well that is a
2782s	very let me just say I'm sorry let me
2784s	speak on behalf of what I assume is our
2786s	audience saying hold holy that is a
2789s	cool class I mean the archetype feels
2793s	great the movement the fluidity is there
2796s	um it feels really good just to play
2799s	with these these skills uh well done
2802s	guys well done for Alpha 2 this is
2804s	feeling nice uh as a fighter and as
2805s	melee obviously that Mobility is going
2808s	to be king when it comes to traversing
2809s	the
2810s	battlefield and and being that
2813s	Juggernaut class fantasy feeling um I
2817s	think is really captured well here what
2819s	do you guys say we take a look at Oaken
2821s	ban and kind of uh work through that
2824s	area and show people off a little bit of
2825s	the world of Vera yep let's put the kit
2828s	to the test did you want to talk about
2830s	the weapon first oh my God you're right
2833s	thank you yes okay you guys obviously
2836s	see here we have got a pretty beefy
2838s	looking uh sword uh that I have equipped
2842s	and Brian and the combat team have been
2844s	working a lot on skill prog skill
2847s	ression trees for weapons you saw a hint
2850s	of that in its very Bare Bones form um
2854s	with the ranger update but there's been
2856s	a lot of work towards that Weaponry
2858s	let's talk a little bit about it um yeah
2862s	um so we we've been revamping the weapon
2865s	tree entirely so the first point of
2869s	progression here is we wanted to give
2870s	people a choice in how long their weapon
2874s	combo actually is um so you've got the
2876s	base weapon combo that you start with on
2878s	the great sword which is three attacks
2880s	and you can extend that out into four
2882s	attacks if you
2883s	want in addition to that um both the
2886s	third hit and the fourth hit can have
2889s	proc finisher attacks and those proc
2892s	finisher attacks can um trigger
2895s	additional effects on you um such as an
2898s	additional heal effect a boost of
2901s	momentary attack
2904s	speed and I'm looking here I'm looking
2906s	here Brian so when I go over to the left
2907s	hand side and it has me kind of an
2909s	option right I'm unlocking this node and
2911s	and selecting down one of these uh four
2914s	choices and for those of you who are
2916s	watching and and perhaps don't recall
2918s	the the the use case here of these
2920s	weapon skill trees these are separate
2924s	progression trees that
2926s	you um that you unlock and Advance
2929s	within as you are using and adventuring
2932s	with a particular weapon type right
2935s	Brian correct um and and yeah they'll
2937s	Advance faster than your archetype tree
2939s	so you'll be able to level up a couple
2941s	weapons as you're as you're going along
2943s	yeah and that's a lot of fun to do
2945s	actually yeah and and and that section
2948s	that you're looking at now it's probably
2949s	the most work in progress part um I I
2951s	still need to revamp this this passive
2954s	section that it's pretty weak overall
2956s	but um yeah this this version zero um
2959s	you can choose between different
2960s	modifications that would best fit your
2962s	class you can choose between um a little
2964s	bit of deflection bonus um which is
2968s	avoidance some I I think crit damage
2972s	accuracy so each node you're kind of
2974s	choosing a different oh I see very cool
2978s	yeah that's
2979s	awesome yeah right right now they're all
2981s	the same um I'm going to mix up that a
2983s	little bit and make it more interesting
2984s	with some some different Capstone
2986s	passives and such um but yeah this
2989s	side's way more interesting way more
2991s	fleshed out so what you just clicked on
2992s	there is the first proc that you'll get
2995s	access to um and you have a choice
2997s	between three of these things um the
3000s	first is sword master swiftness this is
3002s	a temporary boost of attack speed so if
3005s	if you get this proc and then you can
3007s	instantly use another ability or
3009s	continue in your combo if you want and
3011s	it'll trigger that next ability all the
3013s	all the quicker and to talk a little bit
3014s	about you know obviously reiterating
3016s	again kind of you know these proc
3018s	effects these essentially are the
3020s	incentive Loops for
3022s	why weapon combo attacks which are basic
3025s	weapon attacks are the fillers between
3028s	rotational effects because you are
3031s	getting you know as you unlock
3033s	progression Within These trees you are
3034s	getting substantial benefit from procs
3037s	that occur by using the basic weapon
3040s	combo right I I should speak on that a
3043s	little bit more in like a general
3044s	concept so we want to encourage weaving
3046s	between abilities and weapon combo
3048s	attacks and we're going to do that in a
3050s	few different ways that you'll be seeing
3051s	in this stream uh the first way is arct
3054s	type weapon combo interactions you've
3056s	already seen some of that where the the
3057s	finishers give you a burst of momentum
3060s	um and overpower and Bruto cleave get
3062s	reduced or reset cooldowns on combo end
3065s	as well um the second type of
3067s	interaction is weapon combo to Ability
3069s	proc synergies such as direct damage on
3071s	the next ability hit after a combo
3074s	finisher or a status effect setup for
3076s	Ability use um and the third version is
3079s	ability to weapon combo proc Synergy so
3082s	your this is deeper in the tree your
3084s	abilities will have a chance to set up
3086s	your next weapon finisher with
3088s	additional effects very cool that is
3091s	awesome so let's see which one should I
3093s	go for here I'd go with the swiftness
3095s	for the fighter all right let's do
3099s	it effect duration
3102s	huh yeah that's actually really strong
3104s	cuz it's a very short burst of attack
3106s	speed so the duration is really good
3108s	there and also the proc chance I would
3110s	I'd probably max out the proc chance one
3111s	in the middle mhm and then uh get the
3114s	duration that's probably strongest for
3117s	the
3118s	swiftness all
3120s	right and now I've already gone and
3123s	unlocked this path
3125s	here of the um Extended
3129s	finishers yeah you could probably take
3131s	some points out of the uh extra damage
3133s	nodes and then put them heard you say
3136s	that before this is well it it's it's
3138s	only because you're getting even more
3140s	damage through the procs
3142s	potentially okay it's all more math and
3145s	less math right
3148s	and and and and another thing here is
3150s	all depends on your
3151s	build all depends on your build and you
3153s	you'll see that more in this next uh
3155s	this next choice here which is a lot
3157s	more interesting so um that that first
3159s	one was like a kind of introd
3160s	introduction to the proc system it's
3162s	kind of a more just additive uh extra
3166s	thing this is kind of forcing the well
3168s	not forcing the weaving but encouraging
3169s	the weaving a little bit harder so first
3172s	we've got a second strike so your next
3175s	um your next
3177s	ability use after a weapon combo
3179s	finisher has an additional damage proc
3181s	that occurs and then another Cho a good
3184s	choice for DPS is the one right below
3186s	that which is uh perfect timing so the
3189s	next ability you cast will have reduced
3191s	cooldown so it's kind of like do you
3193s	care about that reduced cool down for
3195s	your rotation or do you not and you just
3197s	take the additional damage and the third
3199s	option there unfortunately it's not
3200s	working yet um this is expanding upon
3204s	that status effect interaction stuff
3206s	that's what we're working on imminently
3207s	getting that built into the weapons but
3209s	whenever this is working it'll apply
3211s	burning to your Target and have
3212s	additional interactions for the Mage
3214s	that's cool that's awesome and now you
3217s	guys are got starting to see obviously a
3220s	lot of these um these progression trees
3222s	getting implemented now uh and you're
3225s	not just this is not just obviously for
3226s	the great swword but you have done this
3229s	uh in parody with the other existing
3231s	weapon classes for part of a2s entrance
3234s	criteria correct yeah that's the one of
3237s	the really cool things about our game is
3239s	the amount of weapon Choice that's going
3241s	to be present um all all the weapons
3244s	will be hopefully viable for almost
3247s	every archetype um because you can
3249s	specialize it in a certain way that will
3251s	benefit you and what your archetype role
3254s	is um so there obviously be certain
3256s	things are better for other things like
3258s	a a two-hander is going to do a lot of
3260s	damage for instance um but and and you
3263s	might want to Shield if you're taking a
3264s	lot of the damage but still if if you
3266s	want to break that mold a little bit
3268s	you'll have you'll have options
3270s	available just to expand that on that a
3272s	little bit too it's like not even just
3273s	inter like you know archetype and weapon
3276s	Synergy but also it's like you're you're
3279s	You're Building based on your expected
3281s	or intended comp that you're off always
3283s	going to be or often going to be running
3284s	it's like let's say your your friend
3286s	rolls a Mage and it's like I want to
3288s	build to build with my friend so I know
3291s	they are a fire Mage and that's your
3292s	where your burning blade example comes
3294s	in like there's going to be more stuff
3296s	like that that you're just kind of
3297s	playing off each other that Segways
3299s	really good into the next proc that we
3301s	have here so this is um your ability
3304s	setting up your next weapon combo so
3307s	we've got three options here the first
3309s	is Keen Edge so whenever this procs your
3311s	next weapon combo will have 100% chance
3313s	to crit the next option um which if you
3317s	have a Bard in your party you might not
3320s	want this one but it causes your next
3322s	ability finisher to restore some Mana to
3325s	yourself
3327s	and then the the third one is and I'm
3331s	we're not sure about where this is going
3332s	to end up it might get moved over to the
3334s	tank tree or the mace tree but it procs
3337s	a bit of temp Health on the next weapon
3339s	finisher it's pretty sweet tank option
3342s	yeah that's pretty good I think I'm
3343s	going to go for the key Edge though yeah
3345s	that's a solid Choice all attack speed
3348s	crit yep yeah I feel like I want to I
3350s	want to re DPS beast
3353s	mode okay I spe this out now
3357s	very cool that's awesome this is yeah
3359s	this is a uh I think people you know
3362s	just the complexities that you guys are
3363s	again talking about like obviously we've
3365s	been talking about weapon skill trees
3368s	and archetype design you know since we
3371s	first were talking about ashes back in
3373s	2017 and and now we're seeing INF
3376s	fruition to you know part of the systems
3377s	that we are going to be debuting as part
3380s	of Alpha 2 you guys are going to be able
3382s	to get your hands on this and kind of
3384s	give us that active feedback you know
3386s	how does this how does this level of
3388s	depth and complexity Grant you the
3390s	player more granular control and choice
3394s	over how your role that you're playing
3397s	fits into the greater comp of the party
3401s	setting the raid setting or solo
3403s	gameplay and your itemization selections
3406s	right like all of that is a level of
3408s	depth I think that players want to exist
3413s	in spacewise because it gives them the
3416s	freedom to really Define the way they're
3418s	approaching this the difficulty
3420s	challenge that is the game um and that
3423s	is combat in general um that's super
3426s	cool and and especially like this breath
3428s	of options right the the the even the
3430s	horizontal choices here like that
3433s	creates a a very interesting playground
3436s	of rock paper scissors effects between
3438s	the multitude of arch type skill
3440s	progression and weapon type skill
3443s	progression um that you're going to
3445s	experience even in a PVP setting and it
3447s	also is just more levers that we get to
3449s	pull on the encounter design section as
3451s	well uh for PVE very cool well done guys
3455s	this is uh I think I again I speak for
3458s	the community when I
3460s	say great progress very great progress
3462s	and and Alpha 2 is shaping up to be not
3465s	just a great testing experience but a
3466s	lot of fun I think um you know obviously
3469s	the world and the combat design here is
3472s	significant the last thing I want to
3474s	highlight is um the the work that we've
3476s	done on the animation side with the
3477s	weapon combos so if you actually do your
3481s	weapon combo in place here we can see it
3483s	um we can see whenever you get so you
3485s	get you got a stab hit there whenever
3487s	you get stab hits on the third and the
3489s	fourth hit those are actually procs so
3491s	if you if you connect with the second
3493s	hit of that proc hit you'll receive the
3497s	additional effects but you actually have
3499s	to connect with a monster or player to
3501s	receive the
3502s	effect and I think the proc rate is at a
3505s	static 25 5% right now um we're looking
3509s	at other ways to scale that like maybe
3511s	it scales with Stat or maybe it scales
3513s	with additional nodes but right now it's
3517s	kind of
3523s	low especially if you're unlucky like
3525s	step I know really what's going on
3528s	here come on I'm sure we'll see it in
3531s	combat there it
3533s	is okay and these these guys
3537s	we're still missing some effects that
3538s	are going to help Drive um what this oh
3542s	my God I'm so sorry I just was like a
3544s	Relentless
3546s	attack yeah the the momentum and the
3548s	bonus attack speed on the great sword
3550s	stacking together smoked me that was
3553s	good let's
3555s	see so sorry corrup he's also level 15
3559s	did I go corrupt you did ohy no well it
3563s	should be fine as long as we're in a
3564s	party uh speaking of which we should
3566s	from the
3568s	party yes yeah let's get this going we
3570s	can talk more over yep um are you guys
3574s	disbanded yep yeah we
3576s	are yeah another thing we can talk about
3578s	when we're moving um is is we did revamp
3580s	the animation a little bit um we made it
3583s	work with the like the weight and of the
3586s	grade sword a little bit more so you'll
3588s	see like more precise pose holding and
3591s	it's less of a lumbering Beast than it
3592s	once was we're kind of leaving that
3594s	space for the mace and the axe
3597s	but it's it really feels like a sword
3599s	now to me it's it's
3602s	awesome can I also show off one other
3605s	thing the environment team and the
3608s	engineering team and Kenan I think
3609s	you're part of this as well obviously
3611s	between the ability system and the
3612s	interactable environments something that
3614s	I have not seen happen really very often
3616s	as part of uh as part of MMO level
3619s	design is destructible
3622s	assets we have that in and running I
3624s	want to I want to see if I can destroy
3626s	these uh two tents here real quick oh
3629s	wait somebody else destroyed
3632s	them I they just got hit by the cone of
3634s	cold I think so oh that was good that
3637s	was hilarious I'll find some other tents
3640s	I'm soor hold find another one here we
3642s	go don't forget to put your helmet on oh
3645s	should I put my helmet on do I want to
3647s	put the helmet on it's a cool looking
3649s	helmet all right I'll put the helmet on
3652s	let me see hold on that's a cool way to
3653s	solve props getting in the way that's
3656s	true
3657s	always wear a helmet no I meant you can
3659s	just kill
3661s	him if he had been wearing his helmet
3663s	when you were attacking
3665s	him
3668s	oh love
3670s	it oh we need to talk to the Scout first
3673s	don't we yeah we should grab the quest
3675s	oh is there a scout over here that's
3676s	right all right let's clear okay so you
3678s	guys
3679s	remember at the end of our commission's
3681s	live stream last month this was Oak and
3684s	Bane keep I just kind of came up to to
3686s	to the entrance here I didn't want to go
3687s	inside because this story
3691s	arc see if I have actually information
3693s	on the story AR here we
3695s	go so we are we are as we are part of
3699s	the um the ancient violin story arc
3702s	which is an inhuman threat in the
3705s	riverlands and so it talks about a
3706s	little bit the settlers of Vera have
3709s	known of a constant struggle with the
3711s	goblins that
3712s	overran the ancestral kalar lands and
3716s	while we know nothing about their
3720s	capabilities it is important that we now
3723s	find them throwing themselves at lion
3725s	hold's poultry defenses lion hold being
3729s	one of the uh
3730s	introductory um locations uh at right
3733s	right near the portal area in the
3736s	riverlands um and Captain aan aore needs
3741s	help assessing the scope of that
3744s	threat interesting we also have here
3747s	what appears to be a side quest Scout
3751s	yurin let's talk with yuran what does he
3753s	have
3754s	here once a great place of our ancestors
3757s	now is
3759s	overrun we shall do something about
3762s	this all right he's been charged with
3767s	observing I would be happy to take some
3769s	of your dispensation as
3773s	pay so he wants us to kill 20 of the
3775s	Goblins here here in Oak and Bane we've
3777s	already dispatched a few of
3780s	them all right except that okay we got
3783s	the ancestral
3785s	Revenge let's do
3790s	this we got going on over
3794s	here some
3797s	glint oh that
3800s	guy he's just kind of he's just kind of
3803s	flipping around over
3805s	there
3807s	oo this is feeling
3810s	Moody it's feeling
3823s	Moody all right not too
3826s	bad so now of your guys's experiences in
3830s	MMOs how many of you actually
3832s	maed as a fighter
3837s	me I think I'm the only one here uh I
3840s	know everyone's here here's played
3841s	fighter but I I love playing Fighters
3845s	like they're kind of my first
3847s	choice you know I I'm going to oh hold
3850s	on I see that there is
3853s	a watch out Spirit nearby oh my God I
3857s	already popped my blizzard
3863s	too I got drags here nice oh yeah this
3866s	is a named mob it's a named mob we'll
3869s	have to be sure to loot him after we
3871s	kill
3871s	him yeah Steven needs to loot him though
3874s	not anyone
3875s	else why are you guys saying that yeah
3878s	it's almost like something yeah we don't
3881s	have any like ninja leaders in this
3882s	group for sure now some of you guys are
3885s	seeing that the effects of that big
3888s	explosion that is still effects that are
3890s	are being authored right now but that is
3892s	specifically a progression oh that guy
3895s	was pretty strong
3897s	that is specifically a status
3899s	progression is that
3901s	right which one the oh I got something
3904s	wait wait okay yeah there we go I get
3908s	something I got some look like a see if
3912s	I can find that hold
3914s	on what we got here a toy soldier
3918s	legs legs of an ancient toy soldier that
3922s	survived well past when it ought to have
3925s	thanks to ancient Magics within can be
3928s	reassembled with other pieces okay
3933s	cool um so sorry I was talking I was
3936s	talking about the uh conflag
3938s	rate yeah uh so one thing you'll be
3941s	noticing a lot on the Mage is um I'm
3943s	throwing out different elements of
3945s	projectiles like here's a fireball and
3947s	then after that you'll see my weapon
3949s	combo is throwing out little fire
3951s	projectiles as we showed in the previous
3953s	Mage live stream that is Elemental
3955s	empowerment and how it works Works
3956s	however we've changed a little bit how
3958s	that works um now on the finisher attack
3962s	of every combo um you get the element
3965s	based on what your infused element is
3969s	and then you can use certain abilities
3970s	to promote that from burning to like H
3972s	flag rate in the case that you're seeing
3974s	Oh my
3977s	God there's a
3983s	lot so you'll see me doing that
3986s	I need to get myself some mana and
3989s	that's a concept that we're applying to
3990s	all the
3992s	classes um on on the tank we recently
3994s	mooved they used to generate courage and
3997s	uh apply stagger on every hit we move
3999s	that all to the combo end as well which
4002s	is really nice because that allows us to
4004s	normalize these effects across multiple
4007s	different weapon types and really make
4009s	true our promise of weapon
4011s	Choice yeah it's like we don't want to
4014s	you know put too much emphasis on attack
4016s	speed for proc crate and you know
4017s	there's other ways to do that you can
4019s	normalize chance and all that stuff but
4021s	we also just thought like from a
4022s	gameplay perspective it is really cool
4025s	to like make you have to commit to that
4027s	final hit it just kind of makes it feel
4030s	a little bit more um like you're working
4033s	towards something rather than just
4034s	getting something on every
4036s	attack yeah the initial thought was that
4040s	the additional flexibility was good with
4041s	the tank play style but having that
4044s	additional thing to Chase mid rotation
4047s	um is turning out pretty well we got an
4050s	NC
4053s	here I found this dude looks like some
4056s	oh this is
4058s	uh this is we saw this guy
4062s	before he was in our um last time we
4066s	showed Oaken Bane
4069s	keep an armored shade floats before you
4073s	incapable of speech it however does
4076s	extend a translucent arm to hand you a
4080s	Caporal
4082s	letter oh I received a
4085s	letter okay let's take a look at what
4087s	this letter
4088s	does the paper in this letter is Inked
4091s	on what feels so old that it could
4094s	disintegrate Against Time and your
4096s	gentle handling it holds
4099s	together that sounds like I should open
4102s	this
4104s	letter though the letter is ancient the
4106s	text in it is clearly
4109s	legible Papa oh no wait no papa mama
4113s	says we won't be able to visit anymore
4116s	after we've threw the portal oh I
4118s	messed that up I should have read this
4121s	before c minus I know I'm sorry I'm
4123s	sorry sorry okay wait wait papa mama
4126s	says we won't be able to visit anymore
4128s	after we leave through the portal didn't
4130s	feel right to leave you alone so I'm
4132s	leaving you my bravest toy soldier oh
4134s	that was the toy soldier piece we found
4136s	found to help you and the others here
4138s	fight off the demons coming for us I
4142s	hate to tell you kid I don't think that
4143s	toy soldier's going to help I'm getting
4145s	too old for toys I know his name is Troy
4148s	oh love always Troy we have respawns
4151s	here word a is Written in Blood across
4153s	the back of the paper four distinct
4155s	times sounds interesting oh it's going
4159s	to give me some experience deliver the
4162s	toy to the Forgotten soldiers Memorial
4164s	site okay so we need to find the
4165s	memorial
4167s	site a that's
4169s	sad what history what history lives
4174s	here love the
4182s	banners oh
4186s	man we've got a I love the I also love
4189s	the Ambiance here the like
4194s	goblins
4207s	we're mopping these goblins
4212s	up oh
4216s	yeah yeah we've been doing a lot of play
4219s	test Cycles in this area getting it
4221s	getting it good so we're pretty
4223s	experienced yeah we have dead many many
4226s	deaths in this area but uh yeah what
4229s	kills you gets you stronger
4231s	right yep I think that's how it
4237s	[Music]
4242s	goes that wasn't close
4248s	oh guys I want to talk about a little
4250s	another thing that we always are keeping
4252s	in mind towards um Alpha 2 oops
4262s	um keeping in mind towards Alpha 2 is
4264s	performance testing that's something
4266s	that Pi has been helping us test and
4269s	there's another Pi test happening I
4270s	think next week um which is both the uh
4274s	visual performance that you're seeing
4276s	within the game world uh from a
4278s	rendering perspective as well as from a
4280s	networking perspective um on the servers
4282s	as well so uh keep that in mind there's
4285s	going to be a lot of benefits there uh
4287s	because um it is something that uh is
4290s	happening now
4293s	and teams been putting a lot of work
4295s	towards
4298s	that might want to get a little Mana

5234s	in I think his respawn isn't too bad
5237s	it's actually pretty quick is it yeah
5241s	yeah all right well let's talk about how
5244s	how this fighter has been performing
5247s	exemplary performance by the fighter if
5249s	I don't say so myself I mean really just
5252s	unbelievable top tier top
5255s	tier I do love the area I I love how
5259s	each of the areas just dramatically
5262s	change as story arcs come online
5265s	visually right the atmospherics alone
5268s	are significant not not to mention the
5270s	obvious sound Ambience everything I it's
5273s	these goblins I love their
5277s	vocals yeah the little evil laugh like
5279s	the big guys do right before they spin
5281s	the win on you oh
5285s	yeah it's a nice like audio Telegraph
5294s	too all right going freeze the
5301s	play they're starting to respawn here
5312s	back is
5314s	back who is the name guy no over
5327s	here so what are some of the things Trad
5331s	that you look for from the community or
5333s	Keenan or Brian as it relates to kind of
5336s	everything we talked about today right
5337s	what what are the things you want to
5338s	hear people kind of opining on in you
5343s	know our different social media forums
5347s	Discord incoming slags oh well yeah
5351s	let's get him first and we can chat
5352s	about
5356s	that uh I mean this is this is actually
5359s	an interesting one is like you know just
5362s	these areas like you know the the
5364s	density the respawn rates like you know
5367s	this is this is intended for a larger
5369s	group but is this the kind of um farming
5373s	um that you would want to see uh or you
5375s	know what what what are your preferred
5378s	you know grinding experiences in games
5380s	um from MMOs you've played um also just
5385s	like how do you feel the fighter plays
5388s	from the melee perspective like you know
5390s	what are Fighters that you've really
5391s	liked playing in games um and how did
5394s	you enjoy them more or or what do you
5397s	like that more that you're seeing here
5398s	that you didn't see in fighters on other
5400s	games like all that kind of
5402s	stuff yeah one building on that a bit
5405s	one thing I really like is um criticism
5407s	from our fans like what like what's
5409s	missing what doesn't look so hot um
5412s	we're all experienced developers we
5414s	could take the heat it's fine you're not
5416s	going to hurt our feelings we just need
5417s	to know what
5419s	sucks yeah absolutely I think the
5422s	critical feedback loop is very important
5424s	I think you know one of the things that
5426s	is super important anytime you're
5428s	offering any critical feedback is is to
5430s	be very specific in the things that
5432s	don't mesh well or you know that you're
5434s	looking to see improved and a lot of
5436s	that stuff validates already what we
5438s	have you know intentions for as we move
5442s	forward in development but um that
5444s	validation is important right because it
5446s	means that you as the player are
5448s	thinking about the same things that
5449s	we're thinking about um and and we can
5452s	prioritize that stuff obviously combat
5454s	being one of the biggest takeaways from
5455s	alpha 1 which you can see here we took
5458s	to heart and are iterating upon uh and
5461s	continuing to develop
5465s	it another good thing would be um you
5467s	know this is a a half group like how how
5471s	did the visuals look like you know the
5473s	the fighter effects feel and look really
5475s	awesome in my opinion um especially when
5477s	you're showcasing them how does that
5479s	hold up you know with the Mage effects
5481s	in parallel and also the cleric and the
5484s	tank like a lot of that stuff you know
5487s	how does it look you know when you're
5489s	looking at it from a a very controlled
5492s	isolated standpoint and how does that
5494s	hold up or break down when you enter all
5496s	those archetypes together into the
5500s	mix you ready for the final
5503s	guy did I get did I loot the other
5507s	dude him again so I spawned us a new one
5510s	oh oh my
5513s	God can't help it where is the new one
5517s	right here years of ninja looting
5520s	experience I guess GE God this is the
5522s	fighter showcase not the
5524s	Rogue I'm
5527s	sorry that was
5529s	funny is this him all right yes gra
5532s	watch Keenan just loot it again oh my
5534s	God I know there we go okay we have the

5565s	going to focus on
5573s	them
5576s	I'm up here on the
5599s	platform come on zags what you want
5602s	buddy let's go oh he's
5609s	trip
5612s	um I think with the fighter looking as
