[2023] Ashes of Creation Alpha Two Caravan Preview

Transcript (by Youtube)

21s	hello everyone and welcome to another
24s	live stream from the world of Vera and
27s	we have an exciting stream for you you
30s	today we are going to be talking about
34s	the Caravan system in ashes of creation
37s	and it has been a little while since you
40s	guys have been able to see a caravan uh
44s	actually I believe since alpha 1 but
47s	there has been a lot of work that has
48s	been put into Caravan since then and I
52s	would like to introduce some of our
55s	absolute Stellar
58s	developers who helped bring the new
60s	Caravan system for Alpha 2 to life they
64s	are one of our regulars senior designer
68s	Mr Chris juusto Chris how you doing
70s	buddy oh I'm doing wonderfully how are
73s	you doing Stephen I am doing swell it is
78s	Monday day before Halloween we've got
81s	extra Life coming up and just 5 days
85s	where we're going to be up straight for
88s	24 hours or actually a lot more than 24
90s	hours that's going to be crazy but I am
92s	doing swell sorry that was a long-winded
94s	answer I love it we also have another
99s	regular on the stream uh the man Between
103s	Two Ferns being combat design and
106s	systems design our glorious designer Dr
110s	bucky bucky how are you doing sir hello
113s	I'm doing well I'm ready to move some
115s	cargo ooh Some cargo cargo actually this
119s	is the first time I think think the
121s	community has heard it referred to as
124s	cargo but cargo is the official name of
129s	supplies that are transited by Caravans
133s	and ships and ships that's right yes
137s	very nice well happy to have you Bucky
140s	we also have joining us the Stellar
145s	extraordinary environment artist Hal who
148s	built all things
150s	Caravans in this live stream how how you
153s	doing a I'm doing good yeah I had a lot
156s	of help from a lot of different
158s	disciplines but it's not just me I
161s	promise that is true How's being very
165s	modest but obviously bringing together a
168s	system like this requires a lot of
169s	effort from a lot of people uh but how
172s	specifically modeled I thought what is a
174s	glorious klar Caravan the the default
178s	Kar Caravan which players are about to
179s	see in a little bit so awesome job there
182s	Hal happy to have you here A happy and
184s	then we have joining us an unfamiliar
188s	role on our live streams but a role
190s	nonetheless an ingal one of keeping all
193s	the pieces moving and a nonchaotic and
197s	somewhat somewhat orderly fashion one of
201s	our glorious producers Mr Nathan Moore
203s	Nathan how you doing buddy oh I'm so
205s	excited uh excited to uh go drifting
208s	around some Corners uh try drop off some
210s	Goods make a ton of money it's going to
212s	be a good day in Vera yes it is going to
214s	be a good day in Vera indeed now
217s	speaking of a good day we are in
222s	a default building for nodes is that
225s	correct Chris this is a default building
228s	in the node meaning it comes with the
231s	node when it reaches level
233s	three very cool okay so this is the
238s	hunting lodge or the hunting tur Lodge
241s	and I see that there is a particular
243s	vendor of note in this fine Abode a
248s	commodity vendor tell me what exactly
251s	the commodity vendor does well he does
255s	kind of what his name says he sells
257s	Commodities which as alluded to
259s	previously is a form of cargo that is
262s	transited by Caravans but um before we
265s	talk to him I'd like you to open up your
267s	inventory and we can talk a little bit
269s	about what you're going to
271s	spend to get that cargo
274s	oo I'm assuming I need to be on my
277s	materials page because the inventory
279s	even though I have a th000 gold might
281s	not really help me here no your gold
284s	will not help you so uh if it looks like
286s	you're hovering over uh an item we call
289s	glint uh comes in a few different
291s	Rarities uh it was formerly known as the
295s	monster certificates uh but we have
298s	rebranded them all right now that is a
301s	reveal so those of you in the audience
304s	who remembers what monster certificates
307s	were glint is now the name of the
310s	monster certificate system and glint
314s	serves a very integral role in the
316s	economy within ashes of creation it is a
320s	material substance that is acquired
323s	through various means but primarily
326s	hunting different antagonists within the
328s	world and it is the physical form of
333s	essence within the beasts of Vera so uh
339s	when you acquire this it is bound to
341s	your character and that is a very
343s	important component of the economic
345s	systems here because glint will be used
348s	to pay for certain services such as
351s	taxation for buildings that you have or
356s	citizenship dues that are necessary but
359s	within in the context of today's
361s	demonstration we will be talking about
363s	glint as a currency to acquire
367s	Commodities and Bucky talk to me a
370s	little bit about the importance of
374s	Commodities yeah so Commodities player
376s	commodi specifically is one of the main
378s	ways players can make money or gold in
380s	ver and different nodes will sell
383s	different Commodities at different
384s	prices so the way you make money is by
387s	you can either you know sell your glit
389s	directly to the uh commodity vendor and
392s	just make some quick money at the node
394s	or the most profitable way to do it is
396s	to buy some fler Commodities and then
399s	Transit them to other nodes where
400s	they're going to be sold for higher
402s	prices at the uh side effect is that you
405s	have increased risk into do Exel very
408s	cool so glint allows us direct access to
414s	acquire these Commodities that service
417s	the risk verse reward
420s	philosophy of
422s	transiting Goods around the world
425s	because the Caravan
427s	system which carries and I'm going to go
429s	to the cargo section these Commodities
433s	available at this particular node let's
435s	see if I can purchase this okay I see it
437s	cost a rather good amount of glint on
440s	that one and grab some of the everb burn
443s	scented a case of klar
446s	Wooden
448s	Soldiers those are toys I assume that's
451s	cool and some aged alen whiskey
454s	barrel are these like GI Jo's like KR
457s	versions of the GI Jo's they are in
461s	fact that is super cool okay so I have
465s	acquired a number of these Commodities
467s	that are unique to this particular biome
470s	uh Andor node um and now I have an
474s	option Chris I can either sell the
478s	Commodities back to to a vendor in
481s	exchange for gold or I can load them up
484s	and take them elsewhere why would I want
485s	to do that yeah so you as you mentioned
489s	you can sell it back for around the cost
492s	you bought them for in terms of the
494s	glint to Gold conversion but uh
498s	you should be putting them in a caravan
501s	and taking them to another node because
503s	that will increase the value based on
505s	the Node you take it to how far away
508s	that node is and and how many of that
511s	commodity has been sold at that node
513s	over the last s days got it now what
517s	types of exchange are possible ratio
521s	wise for taking this amount of
526s	cargo right now I can get 150 it looks
528s	like gold and 50 silver on this salt
532s	cured meat shipment what type of
534s	multiple can I get if I take it to
537s	another Noe well so again that's going
539s	to very based on Turnin rates uh at that
542s	node um but we're probably looking at
545s	the node we're taking it to being around
547s	eight gold for that wow that's huge and
552s	that node is
553s	only actually uh the closest one to here
558s	is that correct now that is that is
560s	correct now typically uh at launch we're
564s	obviously going to have to balance these
565s	numbers a lot more as the world keeps
567s	getting bigger yes well actually thank
570s	you Chris thank you for that cue because
573s	as we have said many times before and
576s	you shall hear now once again the most
578s	important disclaimer you will hear in
580s	this live stream is that everything you
583s	see today is a work in progress towards
585s	our Alpha 2 testing environment which
588s	means that the art gets better
591s	particularly as it relates to our UI uh
595s	and our visual effects um so keep
599s	everything you're seeing with a grain of
600s	salt if this is the first time you've
602s	seen ashes of creation and heard that
604s	particular
605s	disclaimer uh you can take a look at
608s	streams from many many ages ago and see
612s	the difference between today and that
614s	all right so I have arrived at a
617s	building that you guys did see during
619s	our nodes uh
621s	demonstration um this is the caravaner
624s	which is also a default building in
627s	addition to the hunting lodge is that
628s	correct Chris it is in fact and this is
631s	where you're going to do all your
632s	caravanning o exciting exciting okay now
636s	I don't have a caravan obviously
639s	because I mean I'm just a lowly Ranger
642s	out in the Wilds trying to find my way
646s	in life well this gentleman the Caravan
649s	Master can help you acquire one oh the
651s	Caravan master all right I see okay all
655s	right he
656s	has some here I see my
660s	storage uh let me go to my material
662s	section I have some cargo available but
666s	I do not see it says no Caravans
668s	currently available for me that's sad
671s	yep so at the top left there you're
674s	going to be able to purchase a
677s	caravan okay so here I see it says
680s	purchase and I'm assuming this means
681s	that I can not only purchase the Caravan
683s	but also the stall within which the
686s	Caravan resides yep so um purchasing a
690s	caravan uh will'll unlock that stall as
692s	well and put a default Caravan in it all
696s	right let me go ahead and make a
697s	purchase here
699s	ah we have our Caravan it looks like
703s	with a number of considerable and
705s	formidable stats I might add uh
708s	available to it but these stats could be
711s	improved could they not
713s	Bucky yeah so Caravans have these items
716s	within them called components and those
718s	kind of act like the gear on the Caravan
720s	so they can modify their stats grant
723s	them passive and even active abilities
725s	so you can if you upgrade your
726s	components you can get power powerful
728s	Caravans I see and just looking at this
731s	basic Caravan it only has a capacity for
735s	1 by two cargo that's relatively
738s	unfortunate because that doesn't seem
740s	like a lot for my time but I assume if I
744s	were to perhaps equip this carriage in a
749s	Place nope that didn't do anything let's
752s	try the reinforced
755s	chassis let's take a look at that buddy
758s	oh yeah oh my goodness this thing can
762s	now take quite a hall but that's not all
766s	I'm going to add the wheel set the uh
769s	beast of burden and the plated Armor All
771s	of which I assume are doing some amazing
774s	things down here in the Caravan stats
775s	section yeah the Beast of Burden
778s	primarily affects speed
779s	uh armor will make you more surv Sho
782s	your encounter combat and then yeah like
784s	you were looking at just now the uh
786s	chassis and body kind of provide some of
788s	the core stats like the health and also
790s	storage capacity for the
791s	Caravan very cool that's awesome
795s	um I'm going to take
797s	two Salt cured meats
801s	because I assume that we're going to be
804s	successful we will delivery okay very
806s	good we're powerful we are very
810s	powerful all right let me go ahead now
813s	do I click launch Chris correct you're
815s	going to hit launch and you're going to
816s	get uh an item in your inventory once
819s	you click
821s	launch oh yeah I'll launch a caravan too
823s	with you guys oh okay very cool very
826s	cool you got a busted Caravan or you got
828s	a good one it's uh you know it's pretty
830s	standard but you know it'll get be there
832s	oh okay very nice all right uh I see
835s	that I have a caravan event oh it's
837s	telling me to find a location to summon
839s	the Caravan so this Caravan event starts
842s	even prior to me finding the location
844s	for my Caravan
848s	because because you you got to organize
851s	your event you know and you also want to
853s	find a safe spot to launch your Caravan
858s	ah very cool all right now we can go out
861s	here in the world I assume within some
864s	level of proxim proximity to the node
867s	okay I see that's being here by the uh
871s	endgame radius okay very cool that's
873s	cool got a little slate wolf over here
876s	let's take care of him
883s	first all right
886s	poy I am going to go ahead
890s	and I assume Chris I'm going to open my
893s	inventory yep so you're going to have a
895s	little Caravan
897s	item and when you run right click it
899s	you're going to be in Deployable mode
902s	for you to be able to place that uh your
907s	it's a representation that you're
908s	summoning the Caravan so that people
910s	around you know that you are launching a
913s	caravan ah very cool all right so then
916s	it's important for me to find a place
918s	that's relatively obscur so as not to
921s	attract any unwanted eyes yeah smart of
925s	us to get away from the note a little
926s	bit in case any other players would have
928s	seen our
929s	Expedition yes good call good call well
932s	done all right you're summoning yours
934s	too over here how come your your Caravan
937s	isn't
938s	like I mean it looks like it's on par
940s	with mine yes it could be but it might
944s	not
945s	be might be the default Caravan Bucky if
948s	you just needed some components I could
949s	have given them to you no this one's
951s	going to work good I believe in
954s	it Bucky's a Pro
956s	Gamer Bucky are you a Pro Gamer
959s	yes I in fact am a Pro Gamer very nice
962s	so this is taking a good amount of time
964s	it's only mine's only about 50%
968s	completed right now this this takes um
971s	by default about 2 minutes uh the amount
974s	of time it takes can be augmented by how
976s	players choose to upgrade the
978s	caravaner um but this is taking an
981s	amount of
982s	time so that people can start to scout
986s	for Caravans that might be popping up
988s	very nice now another very important
990s	aspect of that time that it's taking is
993s	that the time is relative to the
996s	distance that the summoning is occurring
998s	even out in the world let's say you find
1002s	some some loot that is in the form of
1004s	cargo and you want to haul that back
1007s	somewhere you can use an action to
1010s	summon your Caravan from the closest
1012s	node to that location and you will spawn
1015s	this similar summoning function and the
1017s	time to travel to youu will be
1019s	predicated on the distance to the node
1022s	the components of the Caravan and any
1024s	other the potential benefits or Buffs
1026s	that are denoted by special building
1028s	construction relics or policies is that
1031s	correct exactly um and it's also worth
1034s	keeping in mind you can only summon out
1036s	in the wild if it's an empty Caravan
1039s	very nice yes look at mine and look at
1043s	yours
1045s	Bucky this the same Caravan they both
1047s	look great
1049s	show us the difference between these two
1051s	pictures they're the same
1053s	picture oh my gosh how this is a great
1056s	looking Caravan a it looks amazing
1061s	mine's like a tank and this is the
1062s	default Kar Caravan is that correct oh
1066s	no I believe this is the tier two or
1068s	tier five I think actually for these on
1070s	yes yes so I have the upgraded
1072s	components of it um and there are
1075s	obviously a different number of skins
1077s	that you can acquire in the game and um
1079s	uh Andor Cosmetics that have been
1081s	purchased that will be different looking
1084s	Caravans but if you don't have skins
1086s	applied this is the version of tier one
1088s	and tier 2 that you will see in the game
1091s	by default that looks that that looks
1093s	great I mean this is this is amazing
1096s	talk to me how a little bit about what
1098s	it took to construct these Caravans to
1100s	build them I mean are this is this a
1102s	highly componentized system yeah yeah
1105s	that is correct so you actually have a
1108s	couple different components like you saw
1110s	in the um Caravan screen before and each
1113s	of those are things that can visually be
1115s	upgraded kind of as like as their own
1118s	thing so it would be possible to have
1119s	like only nicer wheels or like only a
1122s	nice chassis and that's going to be
1124s	visually represented so players can kind
1126s	of like see what potential Buffs you
1128s	might have for example you can see
1130s	Stevens has all that tank looking armor
1133s	that's going to be able to kind of let
1135s	people just like looking from the
1137s	outside maybe attackers not the support
1139s	stealing Caravans but no of course if I
1142s	didn't want to do that you know I could
1144s	see that maybe I would want to go for
1147s	Steven's Caravan yes that's right I want
1150s	everyone out in the armor maybe I would
1154s	go for not Stevens's
1157s	Caravan yeah every Caravan now in ashes
1160s	is going to be named not Steven's
1163s	Caravan oh no well then they would go
1165s	after not Steven's Caravan so want to
1169s	name it don't do
1172s	that oh man I should have got the two
1175s	horse Edition dude I'm going so slow
1178s	literally half the
1182s	horsepower you do have half the
1184s	horsepower why are you moving so slowly
1186s	back there well my Beast of Burden isn't
1189s	as upgraded as yours so I don't have as
1191s	high of a boost spe stat as you
1194s	do once we get to this road though we're
1196s	going to we're going to get a road buff
1199s	most speeds ah very cool okay so so
1202s	being on a road versus off-road is more
1205s	beneficial because of that buff but in
1208s	addition the components that we are
1211s	using um are not necessarily made for
1215s	offro some that are yeah exactly so
1218s	there'll be different variants of each
1219s	of the components with the wheels for
1221s	example would have variants that will
1224s	excel perhaps at off-road over onroad
1226s	and vice versa and so right now we have
1228s	Caravans that are set up more for the
1230s	onroad um portion but you do you will
1233s	travel faster over over roads but that
1235s	obviously comes with the increased risk
1237s	running into other players or monsters
1238s	that are blocking the road oh wow I see
1240s	I have the I have the road buff now
1243s	where are you bu I'm almost on the road
1247s	should I wait for you uh
1250s	yes very well this is a this is a
1253s	caravan of Caravans right we're a team
1254s	here oh okay Caravan of Caravans I like
1257s	that all right here we go we we the
1259s	decoy you
1261s	know there we go I see the importance I
1264s	mean this the Caravan system is is
1266s	somewhat treacherous I mean you should
1268s	be you should uh take caution with this
1272s	I mean I feel very
1274s	susceptible yeah well we got our group
1276s	of Defenders with us at least we're not
1277s	running completely solo that's
1280s	true yeah it's definitely something and
1283s	this goes for a lot of the node features
1284s	right where we're trying to create these
1286s	ways for you know people who maybe are
1289s	used to sort of a more solo MMO like
1292s	gameplay experience to have easy ways to
1294s	take that first step into like
1296s	collaborating or competing with each
1298s	other so that's really one of the things
1300s	that we spend a lot of time talking
1302s	about for this system absolutely and
1304s	perhaps I assume um Bucky or Chris that
1307s	in regards to the design of the
1311s	component system if I am utilizing
1314s	components that might give my Caravan a
1317s	significantly higher stat of speed it's
1320s	unlikely that I would also at the same
1322s	time be able to select components that
1325s	were to give uh an equitable amount of
1328s	benefit in the stat of let's say cargo
1330s	or health it's going to be tradeoff in
1333s	that sense yeah that's exactly right
1335s	like so you'll be able to have Caravans
1336s	of different customizations but there
1338s	won't be one carav that does everything
1339s	to best you'll have to make sacrifices
1341s	depending on what you want to use your
1342s	Caravan for if you want to have an
1343s	off-road Caravan a really fast onroad
1345s	Caravan or just a slow tanky Caravan
1348s	that can a lot of stuff there'll be lot
1350s	options players can can choose to uh out
1353s	their Caravans with very
1357s	cool already I can see the obvious
1360s	benefit and
1361s	choices that certain players will have I
1363s	mean if as as Nathan was saying if
1365s	you're the most more solo oriented
1367s	player you might just want to have the
1370s	fastest possible Caravan around because
1372s	one you're not worrying about people to
1373s	stick you know close to you but also if
1376s	you do come under attack you're your
1378s	chances of succeeding at a fight are far
1381s	less than getting away by
1383s	speed yeah that's that's true or I could
1386s	also see a variant though where you want
1387s	to just you go
1392s	off why is tuac here uh is he just on
1395s	his path I think he's just on his path
1398s	uh you're going to want to turn around
1399s	we cannot take that oh I wonder if he'll
1402s	turn around if he detects us I think he
1406s	probably would okay
1409s	should stay back here yeah yeah this
1412s	path is not uh not for us go ahead give
1415s	us a turn around and I'll show you my
1416s	secret little off-road path all righty
1419s	okay all right let's just turn around
1422s	here apologies I'll hold them
1427s	off this is what wey for come on over
1431s	this way no I do I stopped so quick when
1433s	you guys said that I was like hiding the
1435s	Rocks already back here that would have
1437s	turned out to be a very bad
1442s	stream all right come on
1445s	through okay like a super peaceful
1448s	pathway right like it's super peaceful
1452s	oh good barely even
1455s	dangerous juust is like I know a way
1458s	guys don't
1460s	worry oh God spiders I'm just assuming
1464s	you guys will take care of that yeah you
1466s	know that's that's their job as a
1467s	Defenders we got to keep rolling better
1470s	be careful not to aggro any
1472s	Steven no I am trying not to I don't
1474s	really see any up here though
1478s	but nothing too crazy up
1481s	here yeah but this is one of the this is
1483s	one of the dangers is you may never know
1486s	what's on the road the road has a buff
1489s	that's great but it also has a little
1492s	bit more visibility and that can be a
1494s	problem and so off-roading is a
1497s	necessary component
1499s	of the Caravan system and traveling in
1501s	general and because of that there will
1503s	be components that make traveling
1505s	Offroad a bit easier
1508s	perhaps yeah
1514s	certainly I'm trying to get back to
1516s	the
1518s	yeah definitely slower I'm rolling we're
1522s	still rolling should have gone for the
1524s	off-road wheels maybe did we get lost is
1527s	there like a path up your back to the
1528s	road yeah no no you're good you're good
1530s	you're going the right
1531s	way follow the spiders oh
1536s	yeah oh God uh I'm I'm taking starting
1538s	to take a little bit of damage here hey
1541s	hey Steven we might need to heal and I
1543s	remember you equipping some kind of
1545s	healing item yes okay all right oh
1548s	they're eating the horses they're
1549s	definitely eating the
1551s	horses where's a tank when you need one
1554s	I just activated the healing thing wow
1556s	that's actually pretty good those are
1557s	good heals yeah that's a that's a strong
1560s	hot right there
1564s	wow it's perfectly balanced perfectly y
1568s	final
1569s	pass I think we could have definitely
1571s	taken to much I don't know about that
1575s	spiders versus
1576s	giant 10 hours
1581s	later
1585s	uhoh that would that did not work out
1588s	oh no you can't you can't drive off
1590s	cliffs stepen yeah I thought these were
1593s	those kind of
1594s	horses the cliff jumper horses yeah we
1600s	them you actually have to unlock a
1602s	different service building to get
1603s	recruitment of those jumping horses so
1606s	can I get spider
1608s	horses just different kind no no step
1611s	come down this way I no this this looks
1614s	fine this yeah you'll make it you'll
1616s	make it yeah we can make this one I mean
1618s	these horses AR that
1621s	fragile we've made it back to the watch
1623s	tumach just comes out of
1626s	nowhere just like I found you I've been
1629s	waiting for you ob one no how you doing
1633s	back there Bucky um oh yeah oh yeah was
1637s	here yeah I mean I've I've just been
1639s	defending him the whole time uhuh thank
1641s	you guys yeah yeah you're welcome we do
1643s	it for you oh I see we've come across a
1646s	little river up here
1649s	that looks like we'll have to make a
1651s	Crossing o this is a great little
1655s	image I'm digging this hold let me turn
1657s	off
1659s	the hold on can you catch me uh on my
1662s	album cover looking away from the camera
1665s	who no I can't where are you hold on we
1668s	got to get the good album cover photo
1670s	where we're all looking away just
1671s	looking off into like
1674s	desperation another day in Vera chance
1678s	they're distracted I can pass them no
1681s	even if I gave you a
1683s	head not with that little
1686s	hoopie oh yeah my money's on Steven
1690s	here okay so now uh we were intending to
1694s	show this upd with this update the
1697s	transition from land to River with the
1700s	raft system Caravans when they intersect
1703s	with a river they uh go into a
1706s	construction stage wanted to talk to me
1708s	a little bit about that uh how and
1711s	Chris yeah so um
1715s	the primary there's like two kind of
1717s	methods to crossing rivers right one of
1719s	them is with Bridges which are
1721s	constructed by Mayors and players uh but
1724s	the other method is via a transformation
1727s	into a raft um now it will push you at a
1732s	little bit of a um it'll make you a
1735s	little bit of a Sitting Duck while
1736s	you're transitioning once you're in the
1738s	water you'll get kind of a nice speed
1740s	boost from the currents um and it's a
1743s	alternate means to getting stuck on the
1745s	choke points that are
1748s	bridges very
1750s	cool yep that will be an update coming
1754s	shortly it was uh we were having some
1756s	bugs I'm really stoked for you guys to
1759s	see it though it's already looking
1760s	really cool and I'm so hyped about it oh
1764s	how how has been intrical in creating
1768s	the assets for showcasing what that
1771s	transition looks and feels like and
1774s	helping to demonstrate the construction
1776s	process of the raft it is super cool to
1779s	see even how how you've Incorporated the
1781s	more componentized system of creating
1784s	this Caravan as a whole into being able
1787s	to adapt uh for that construction scene
1790s	um all the pieces that are relevant on
1793s	different skins and cosmetics for the
1794s	Caravan as well yeah it's been really
1797s	fun kind of figuring out how we're going
1799s	to like like show certain things make
1802s	everything work together like balance
1804s	all the pieces but it's yeah it's been a
1806s	fun time and I think kind of visually
1809s	showing things like for example like the
1811s	cargo um to kind of like which can we're
1814s	still kind of working with tech art to
1815s	get this fully up and running but you
1817s	are eventually going to be able to get a
1819s	good visual view of like how much cargo
1821s	someone's going to be holding and you
1822s	know the possible reward you're going to
1824s	be able to get too so it's yeah it's
1826s	it's been a really fun time
1828s	yeah it's been it's been super cool to
1830s	watch this this bridge by the way is a a
1833s	bit slower than the road you're not
1836s	getting a road buff on this bridge
1839s	Stephen oh that's so sad so Bridges
1843s	bridges can be upgraded you know and
1846s	that will let them provide you more
1848s	speed I should be getting the uh um Road
1852s	the bridge buff the bridge buff should
1853s	be
1855s	just super powerful
1860s	you Tokyo drift off a bridge yes
1863s	exactly they did that a few times in uh
1866s	whatever that
1868s	was there are lots of movies that have
1870s	drifting I know no there's only one
1873s	there's only one it's the Polar Express
1876s	isn't
1879s	it no it has like B diesel in them um
1883s	Fast and the Furious yes Fast and the
1885s	Furious you know that one Fast and the
1887s	Furious that one out of 30 Fast and
1892s	Furious we should get some fast and
1894s	furious versions of the
1897s	car the more the more you say it the
1900s	more you will it into existence gust has
1902s	like his finger on the trigger to just
1905s	make like t7 Caravan components you
1909s	can't carry any cargo you just max speed
1911s	and you get a drifting ability that's it
1913s	that's all he wants in life oh God that'
1915s	be so
1916s	good be so
1920s	great I'm loving I'm getting like the
1922s	Cinematic shots right now yeah the
1925s	environment team has done such an
1927s	amazing job about bringing Vera to life
1929s	and that's been another cool thing about
1931s	us being able to show off this live
1933s	stream is we've kind of kept a lot of
1934s	the uh exploration of Vera uh Under
1937s	Wraps because we want to you know make
1939s	sure that people get that first glimpse
1942s	of it when the servers go online for A2
1944s	but we can show off some of that stuff
1946s	here super excited God there's a bear oh
1949s	oh no danger bear get him CH somebody oh
1955s	no oh we just entered a super moody part
1957s	of the
1960s	forest okay there's a bear that way I'm
1962s	going to go this way I'm going to go
1964s	left opposite the direction of the Bears
1967s	yes yes I'm going to go oh there's
1969s	little Rabbids over there too oh
1973s	no
1975s	okay boys Bridge oh oh whoops my bad
1980s	just calling it out you know for the
1982s	team I we're just going to wait here and
1984s	admire the the beautiful scene which by
1987s	the way Zachary and um Hans did a
1991s	phenomenal job with looks so
1994s	good yeah it's looking really cool I
1996s	like this next area coming up
1998s	too we're almost on our way to mirle
2001s	here he like I really like this next
2004s	area he's talking about the second
2005s	bridge still like yeah the river you
2008s	guys seen The River yet wow oh
2011s	no there's a bridge there you need to be
2014s	careful there were some trolls
2015s	nearby ah you made
2019s	it welcome back Bucky I really should
2022s	have just given you some components to
2023s	put on your C really just the horse the
2025s	extra horse could have probably helped a
2026s	lot you know yeah or just the horse yeah
2031s	true it's too bad we can't have like a
2033s	pit stop and put on a another horse for
2036s	you just spoted in into existence that
2038s	would be cool although once the Caravans
2040s	are parked you're are able to upgrade
2041s	the
2042s	components get so every time every time
2045s	you park the Caravan in the stall at any
2047s	node you can adjust oh whoa
2052s	who oh what's up ahead there's a giant
2055s	fallen
2057s	tree oh I don't think I can chop through
2060s	this one guys no let's let's uh maybe we
2064s	go Offroad a little bit here so juo I
2068s	could be wrong but this looks like one
2069s	of our environmental hazards at work
2073s	yeah oh juusto you
2076s	needed how about now there you go there
2080s	we go I made it uh yeah so something um
2084s	that can happen to Caravans while
2085s	they're traveling along roads or out in
2087s	the world is um there are events kind of
2090s	waiting for Caravans yes I can chop them
2093s	well first I got to I have to do do a
2097s	little cheating first but yes I can do
2099s	that um you actually you can interact
2102s	with the environment though to free up
2103s	the area to move through too yeah that'
2105s	be
2106s	yep hold
2109s	on don't show my GM panel
2116s	uh oh my God just killed a
2121s	horse what is wrong what is wrong with
2124s	you oh no Chris no
2131s	uh excellent this
2134s	is we had believable you're we had an
2139s	offro I didn't do it on purpose you
2142s	going to transfer the goods from
2144s	Steven's Caravan over to bies hey that's
2146s	that's a good that's a good Community
2148s	question do players want trees fall
2152s	damage we all know what the answer to
2154s	that question is the answer is a
2156s	resounding yes trees falling on people
2158s	should do damage should destroy Caravans
2161s	one
2162s	shot
2165s	unbelievable I'm sorry Chris what were
2167s	you
2168s	saying something about Caravans on
2170s	routes um they uh so yeah when you're
2174s	traveling with a caravan um there are
2176s	events that can trigger as a result of
2178s	you being there with a caravan um that
2181s	can either block your way or um spawn
2184s	things to attack your Caravan um and
2187s	require you to kind of um make decisions
2190s	about how you want to proceed right
2192s	whether you turn around and go somewhere
2193s	else or you find a path Offroad um all
2197s	with different kind of dangers
2198s	associated with
2200s	them very
2205s	cool how are you doing back there Bucky
2208s	fallowing your tracks it's looking
2211s	good after our assistance and clearing
2214s	the path for you you're welcome thank
2216s	you yeah you you were doing
2218s	attempted murder little Callum a little
2221s	colum B
2223s	unbelievable listen I've only been
2225s	playing a defender of your
2228s	Caravan the long con right before we get
2237s	there actually good good call out though
2239s	is that if you register to defend the
2241s	car you won never be able to unregister
2243s	and immediately attack the car when
2244s	beginning to the end ah very good call
2246s	very good
2248s	and then in addition to that you can be
2251s	registered participant in multiple
2253s	Caravan events at
2255s	once so if you had let's say a caravan
2260s	of you could put both Caravans in the
2263s	same rate mhm very cool speaking of
2267s	Caravans welcome thank you I returned
2270s	you have
2275s	Caravan last Caravan F I go right here

2309s	no you're good we're good it eyes aren't
2311s	so good hope there no zombies in the
2313s	middle of the
2319s	road oh oh no okay maybe not zombies no

2424s	at Mir how far is Mir holy sh right it's
2427s	right around the corner this is the
2429s	closest
2432s	node I mean the world's pretty big
2435s	Steven that was a nice little nice
2437s	little Caravan Expedition we did I am
2440s	arriving oh God there's more skel and
2442s	there's bats or

2480s	was so
2484s	funny so I've lost the uh Street stuff
2487s	uh yeah once you're in to the node yeah
2490s	once you're in the purview of the node
2491s	you you got to travel at slow speeds or
2495s	the guards will get
2501s	you almost
2504s	there
2506s	whoa we're almost there is that how it
2509s	goes exactly exactly that's the exact
2512s	lyrics of the song for sure gets
2515s	copyright struck no
2519s	no now what happens so I'm seeing that
2522s	we have this little area in front of us
2524s	that denotes the Turnin radius what
2527s	happens when I reach it well you're
2531s	about a second away from finding
2533s	out oh we did it oh well not yet
2538s	technically we're almost doing
2545s	it it is
2550s	done all right so I assume now that
2552s	there is going to be a hunter's Lodge

2586s	going to see what you
2588s	delivered very nice okay that's cool so
2591s	now this is worth yeah eight eight gold
2594s	69 silver I can do math well

2620s	ni very
2622s	nice cool that's awesome well look at
2625s	that we've fully demonstrated the
2628s	Caravan loop from uh certificates or the
2631s	newly named glint into Commodities
2635s	transited with the Caravan system system
2637s	discussed a little bit about the intents
2638s	of that system and how it is intended to
2640s	be used for Alpha 2 as a core Loop of
2643s	the economic game play and we have
2646s	succeeded in delivering through the
2648s	perilous Journey that was the riverlands
2651s	our Commodities to Mir
2654s	blath juusto Bucky plan andorf and Hal
2660s	thank you all for joining us today in
2662s	demonstrating the Caravan system I know
2665s	that I speak for the audience when I say
2667s	your guys's hard work is extremely
2670s	appreciated and cherished by this
2672s	community that cannot wait for ashes of
