| 1046s | jump into things |
| 1048s | no just we got a lot to go through a lot |
| 1050s | yeah sorry one sec gotta get moving yeah |
| 1054s | yeah yeah so sorry you might you might |
| 1056s | see me occasionally |
| 1058s | it's very warm in here so I have to I'm |
| 1060s | a little nervous I have to |
| 1062s | Pat myself down once in a bit so uh |
| 1065s | before we jump into uh the reason why I |
| 1068s | think a lot of you here uh first we |
| 1070s | wanted to take a quick look back at like |
| 1073s | the age of sorcery as like a as like a |
| 1075s | whole thing so |
| 1077s | um |
| 1078s | when we initially launched the age of |
| 1081s | sorcery and like the the time moving up |
| 1083s | to it |
| 1085s | um |
| 1086s | we had intended to add a lot of things |
| 1088s | and a lot of a lot of things like being |
| 1090s | the bizarre the battle pass a uh ongoing |
| 1095s | narrative yeah the challenge system |
| 1097s | world events and sorcery and the sorcery |
| 1100s | and that's a lot of stuff |
| 1102s | uh and it's scary when you add a lot of |
| 1107s | stuff all at once so main objectives of |
| 1110s | age of sorcery were of course to add |
| 1112s | Source three which is one of the big uh |
| 1115s | like commitments that we made back in |
| 1116s | the Early Access launch in 2017 or |
| 1118s | during early access in 2017 |
| 1121s | um and yeah a lot of work went into this |
| 1124s | a lot of testing went into it and we had |
| 1126s | a lot of uh uh clenched uh uh a lot of |
| 1130s | clinching going on when you first launch |
| 1131s | it because it's a lot it's a lot it's a |
| 1132s | lot to take in what's a lot to put out |
| 1134s | um turn down the music Sorry about that |
| 1137s | yeah yeah |
| 1139s | my apologies |
| 1142s | um I'll let you fill in those blanks |
| 1144s | chat what do you think we clenched in |
| 1146s | any case |
| 1148s | um yes clenching clenching of the Amazon |
| 1150s | so uh going into the actual launch of |
| 1154s | age of sorcery back last September |
| 1156s | um we're actually super stoked to say |
| 1158s | that uh the launch went incredibly well |
| 1160s | uh we hit the at least on Steam the |
| 1164s | third highest like concurrent user base |
| 1166s | or population |
| 1168s | um seen during a launch only exceeded by |
| 1171s | the original 2018 official launch and |
| 1173s | the 2017 Early Access launch so uh |
| 1176s | that's freaking awesome and in fact uh |
| 1179s | so we had like a free week |
| 1180s | um promo with Steen during the age of |
| 1182s | age of sorcery launch and the following |
| 1185s | weekend after the free week ended our |
| 1187s | population was even higher uh which is |
| 1190s | also really cool uh we were super happy |
| 1192s | to see that |
| 1193s | um and I'm kind of on my end I was |
| 1195s | looking at the steam Dash or the The |
| 1196s | Forum dashboard and we had like we we |
| 1199s | like vastly exceeded the original like |
| 1202s | plan that we had with their provider and |
| 1204s | like uh like daily active users and |
| 1207s | posts like more than a quadrupert or |
| 1208s | almost quintupled in some cases like |
| 1210s | there are a lot of y'all showing up for |
| 1212s | this which is really cool and then you |
| 1214s | know now that now that things come like |
| 1215s | even out a bit |
| 1217s | um you know checking in on the health of |
| 1219s | the game |
| 1220s | um you know on average there are more of |
| 1223s | you playing and each and every one of |
| 1225s | you are playing longer sessions like |
| 1227s | substantially longer sessions each time |

| 1257s | the land of hyboria spill some blood in |
| 1260s | the the name of entertainment I guess |
| 1265s | yeah it's not a stream unless I Chris at |
| 1267s | least once I used to Chris a lot more on |
| 1268s | Old streams but try to trying to clean |
| 1270s | up my ACT these days |
| 1273s | um so yeah that that's a little like |
| 1275s | look back at age of source are there any |
| 1276s | like remarks or anything like you'd like |
| 1277s | to add it's the |
| 1279s | as Mr developer mans leading the charge |
| 1281s | on this ah yeah um also just so you guys |
| 1285s | know a lot of stuff we do is just going |
| 1286s | to be on the spot today so yeah we have |
| 1289s | a good plan but like yeah we haven't |
| 1290s | really planned exactly what we'll say |
| 1292s | but the sorcery did but yeah yeah |
| 1294s | sorcery making sorcery and everything |
| 1296s | was uh |
| 1299s | it was a it took us a really long time |
| 1301s | to get through all the stuff we had to |
| 1302s | put out and get the store out and |
| 1304s | everything I mean I think we were in |
| 1305s | development for somewhere between one |
| 1307s | and a half and two years or something |
| 1308s | like that and when you work for a long |
| 1310s | time like that without showing things to |
| 1312s | people |
| 1313s | uh you you maybe sometimes feel like hey |
| 1315s | are we are we doing the right thing uh |
| 1317s | are we going to hit the mark here or are |
| 1319s | we just totally messing up and we're |
| 1320s | going to find out we waste a lot of time |
| 1322s | but you know the reception has been |
| 1323s | amazing uh the actual release of sorcery |
| 1326s | was probably one of the most emotional |
| 1329s | moments in my entire career uh because |
| 1331s | just seeing everyone freak out and chat |
| 1333s | seeing the trailer reveal and everything |
| 1335s | was well though I mean it was amazing |
| 1338s | well and there was also the kind of |
| 1339s | people some folks got to see a little |
| 1341s | bit earlier than intended some people |
| 1343s | did but it was a small number yeah yeah |
| 1345s | yeah yeah everyone that actually got to |
| 1347s | see it and it was just it was a blast |
| 1349s | yeah we were all super tired I remember |
| 1351s | doing the sorcery stream immediately |
| 1353s | like you know after that weekend and we |
| 1356s | came in and I was just like I was bushed |
| 1359s | but |
| 1361s | we were all like it was hard it was hard |
| 1364s | to get through but it was so exciting it |
| 1365s | was like almost like a second wind hit |
| 1367s | you you know and even though your eyes |
| 1369s | are drooping and you're kind of falling |
| 1371s | over the keyboard it was still a lot of |
| 1372s | fun and |
| 1373s | yeah it has been such a it's been so |
| 1376s | awesome to see the community get so much |
| 1378s | bigger and we have so many players now |
| 1380s | and so many new players too |
| 1383s | um like the number of new players are is |
| 1385s | is insanely high oh wow nice yeah I |
| 1388s | haven't I haven't looked at all those |
| 1389s | things you know I I I'm probably not |
| 1392s | allowed to talk about numbers with it so |
| 1393s | I just won't but I'm really happy to see |
| 1395s | a lot of new people coming in and |
| 1397s | staying to see what's coming up next |
| 1399s | with Exiles and you know our our |
| 1401s | three-month recite um release cadences |
| 1404s | is you know I think being really helpful |
| 1406s | in terms of keeping people in and |
| 1407s | playing and interesting yeah yeah it's a |
| 1409s | ton of work like you know live service |
| 1411s | is not an easy task at all uh but it's |
| 1414s | also a really exciting like it's really |
| 1416s | exciting to have that kind of cadence |
| 1417s | because then we can now move forward |
| 1419s | with like a more set plan for like the |
| 1421s | kind of content that we want to release |
| 1422s | and also gives us an opportunity to also |
| 1424s | finally add Like A continuing like |
| 1426s | advancing plot within the exod lands |
| 1431s | yes or multiple let's |
| 1435s | um |
| 1436s | well |
| 1439s | multiple plots huh what uh |
| 1441s | what maybe maybe we should talk about |
| 1443s | what the next |
| 1445s | parts are yeah maybe maybe I think |
| 1447s | that's what I think that's I figured |
| 1448s | that's what most people are here for so |
| 1450s | uh |
| 1452s | friends and foes and siblings of battle |
| 1454s | uh we would like to welcome you soon too |
| 1458s | okay don't mess this up |
| 1492s | and the crown news |
| 1496s | yes welcome to the age of War indeed uh |
| 1501s | uh let's see uh you know Bloodshed and |
| 1504s | the Clashing of Steel and wits uh is |
| 1507s | just like as entwined within like the |
| 1511s | hyporian like Conan DNA as like punching |
| 1513s | camels right like it's it is so I would |
| 1515s | say more so yeah like it is it is |
| 1517s | essential to the Conan like experience |
| 1521s | um |
| 1522s | we're we're going to be embracing that |
| 1524s | wholeheartedly uh in the coming months |
| 1527s | so uh very exciting indeed uh Age of War |
| 1530s | so um |
| 1533s | why War let's go |
| 1535s | let's go why was the deal |
| 1537s | um so if ever there's a question about |
| 1539s | what the next age will be |
| 1541s | one of the best things you can do is |
| 1543s | look to the community |
| 1544s | see what people are requesting the most |
| 1546s | and what people want to see in the game |
| 1549s | what kind of complaints people have |
| 1550s | things like that because we always want |
| 1552s | to try to make the game better for |
| 1553s | everyone |
| 1554s | so the age of War was an idea for an |
| 1558s | opportunity to focus on updates to the |
| 1561s | combat system |
| 1562s | and one of the biggest things is The |
| 1565s | Purge |
| 1566s | so |
| 1568s | we'll talk about more about the actual |
| 1569s | Cadence of releases and what we'll be |
| 1571s | getting into but the biggest things |
| 1573s | we'll focus on in the age of War is |
| 1575s | actual combat with your character |
| 1576s | against Ai and The Purge content itself |
| 1581s | yes so |
| 1583s | um we actually have so the age of War is |
| 1586s | also going to be a little bit different |
| 1587s | from the age of sorcery in that a lot of |
| 1590s | the things that we're going to be adding |
| 1591s | in the first chapter is like a major |
| 1592s | Foundation to the things that we want to |
| 1594s | build toward in for for the future |
| 1596s | updates or future chapters for Age of |
| 1597s | War uh so you know Dennis just touched |
| 1600s | on uh like purges uh there'll be more |
| 1603s | details about that later |
| 1605s | um because uh we're just going to give |
| 1607s | you a quick road map on exactly what our |
| 1608s | games are uh with the coming age give me |
| 1611s | just one moment here |
| 1614s | there we go |
| 1618s | first chapter will include new Clan |
| 1621s | features and new plan social features |
| 1622s | including the ability well we'll go into |
| 1625s | it a little bit but the ability to |
| 1627s | create and collect uh treasure and |
| 1630s | currency for your clan uh finally being |
| 1632s | able to display a customize and display |
| 1634s | a Clan Emblem as well as claim |
| 1636s | permissions uh and as also Dana said |
| 1639s | um the the beginning of a substantial |
| 1642s | Improvement to the combat system like I |
| 1645s | know all the combat mechanics within |
| 1647s | Conan Exiles and then later on in |
| 1649s | chapter two uh we'll have a huge new |
| 1651s | update for purges which we'll be going |
| 1653s | into uh we unfortunately won't be able |
| 1656s | to go into a ton today but uh you know |
| 1659s | obviously stay tuned because it's it's |
| 1660s | all in testing right now we have a lot |
| 1662s | of stuff uh that I'm really excited to |
| 1664s | show uh and then you might you might see |
| 1666s | this in chapter three |
| 1668s | um |
| 1669s | you'll just have to wait till later to |
| 1671s | find out more about that but let that |
| 1673s | let that twitch your palette I know it |
| 1675s | doesn't slake your thirst for more but |
| 1677s | stay tuned friends |
| 1682s | so yeah um let's see uh quick anything |
| 1685s | um do you want me to do a little quick |
| 1686s | overview of each of those chapters as |
| 1688s | well uh yeah if we've got that um that |
| 1691s | page and we'll go more into detail about |
| 1692s | chapter one today yeah yeah we probably |
| 1695s | won't talk a lot about chapter two and |
| 1697s | chapter three sure but I can give you |
| 1699s | guys a kind of rundown on that now yeah |
| 1702s | so in chapter one one of the largest |
| 1704s | activities you'll be doing and most of |
| 1706s | the content will be formed around |
| 1708s | collection and building |
| 1710s | so you'll be able to create your own |
| 1712s | treasure room inside your base and there |
| 1714s | will be some specific kind of treasure |
| 1715s | that you need to go out and bring back a |
| 1717s | lot of things that have sort of value to |
| 1719s | people already like gems and and ore and |
| 1722s | coins and things like that will be |
| 1724s | marked as treasure and we'll show some |
| 1726s | more stuff off about that later as well |
| 1728s | but the whole point is you're collecting |
| 1730s | money bringing it back to your base and |
| 1731s | keeping a tally of how much money you |
| 1733s | have |
| 1734s | so in chapter 2 |
| 1736s | that's when The Purge revamp mechanics |
| 1738s | will come in and we've taken the purge |
| 1740s | system and completely removed what was |
| 1742s | there before and written a new Purge |
| 1744s | from the ground up that will be a |
| 1746s | completely different experience in The |
| 1748s | Purge as it exists now we're looking at |
| 1750s | something that's a lot more warlike like |
| 1753s | like a base will form out an enemy |
| 1755s | forward operating base will form outside |
| 1757s | of your base they'll set up you know |
| 1759s | catapults and attack with waves towards |
| 1761s | key points in your in your base trying |
| 1763s | to breach to that treasure room so they |
| 1765s | can steal the treasure and take it away |
| 1767s | from you |
| 1768s | you'll be able to spend that treasure to |
| 1770s | buy things to help reinforce your base |
| 1773s | and go up higher and higher difficulty |
| 1774s | in The Purge so it will be kind of like |
| 1778s | a a progression of sorts where you fight |
| 1780s | weak ones and then you fight stronger |
| 1782s | and stronger ones and it all kind of |
| 1783s | depends how much money you have |
| 1785s | and the reason for that is rooted in The |
| 1789s | Purge board that we already have so you |
| 1792s | know we already have the Relic hunters |
| 1793s | in the Exile lens we have The Purge |
| 1795s | coming through and attacking you the |
| 1797s | story behind The Purge and The Relic |
| 1798s | Hunters is that they're both in the |
| 1800s | Exile lands in search of of riches right |
| 1803s | they're there to find things that are |
| 1805s | worth money and take them out so now |
| 1807s | that's what they'll actually do we'll |
| 1809s | we'll have Relic hunters and in the |
| 1811s | second chapter that will attack you when |
| 1812s | you're trying to carry treasure to your |
| 1814s | base and whatever the actual Purge |
| 1818s | occurs as well those will all be kind of |
| 1820s | themed around the people like uh you |
| 1821s | know trying to come get those things |
| 1823s | from and then in the third chapter |
| 1825s | you'll be able to turn the tables on the |
| 1828s | people that are attacking you and go |
| 1829s | back to their base and assault them and |
| 1832s | steal from them and of course like yeah |
| 1834s | uh the the |
| 1836s | another essential thing or element I |
| 1838s | think of a lot of Robert Howard's old |
| 1840s | stories is also like uh you know Conan |
| 1842s | is oftentimes depicted as a thief as |
| 1846s | well uh stealing from the rich or having |
| 1848s | these like jobs to like go infiltrate a |
| 1850s | tower to find some some incredible |
| 1851s | treasure or gem or something like that |
| 1853s | in fact in our old MMO Age Of Conan the |
| 1856s | Barbarian class is actually considered a |
| 1857s | rogue class uh because uh like even |
| 1860s | though being a barbarians I guess in |
| 1862s | like fantasy tropes are like supposed to |
| 1863s | be like the Unga Bunga swing fight stuff |
| 1866s | but you know Conan's Conan's version of |
| 1869s | barbarianism is just like not being a |
| 1872s | part of whatever's you know civilized |
| 1874s | society is and like kind of living on |
| 1875s | the brink or living on the outskirts of |
| 1877s | that and like sticking it to the man and |
| 1879s | to the rich guys and then you know |
| 1881s | fending from Stuff Etc et cetera it's |
| 1883s | all it's a lot about like cut throat and |
| 1884s | cunning more so than it is about and |
| 1886s | just brute force and uh and of course |
| 1888s | you know money enriches and greed uh are |
| 1892s | the root of many much conflict and War |
| 1894s | indeed in general so and that as you'll |
| 1898s | see is the motivation uh for you know |
| 1900s | what will be unfolding in the exiled |
| 1902s | lands |
| 1903s | so yeah so to to just take a bit take a |
| 1906s | step back so you may have heard Dennis |
| 1908s | talk about like treasures and being able |
| 1909s | to carry Treasures |
| 1911s | um and be able to cult like grow your |
| 1913s | horde |
| 1914s | that's what's going in chapter one |
| 1917s | chapter one and that's something that we |
| 1918s | can actually show you today and show you |
| 1919s | the how that works and show you how that |
| 1922s | can be like the foundation for |
| 1923s | everything else that we're working |
| 1924s | toward as well and uh there's there's a |
| 1926s | little more stuff I'll talk about too a |
| 1928s | little bit later but uh you know the |
| 1930s | whole idea is kind of having this |
| 1931s | Central currency system that you can use |
| 1933s | to pay into other systems in the game |
| 1934s | with yeah later down the line yeah so |
| 1936s | like finally like a better use for like |
| 1937s | those gold coins and the gold bars that |
| 1939s | you might find here and there too |
| 1940s | instead of just melting them down or |
| 1943s | throwing them in the |
| 1944s | getting getting dust for them or |
| 1946s | something like that so they'll actually |
| 1948s | have like a value that you can add to |
| 1949s | your to your horde as well uh we can |
| 1952s | show that off I guess too so uh we have |
| 1954s | a little |
| 1955s | um let's see we can do let's just do |
| 1956s | live you're also learn they love the mug |
| 1960s | uh yeah I saw I saw a little bit of |
| 1962s | Chandler like oh can we play Prom coins |
| 1964s | for that luck no this is supposed to be |
| 1966s | like an internal thing like we got this |
| 1967s | for other summer party I think so sorry |
| 1969s | for the green screen effect but it's a |
| 1971s | yeah it's a fun calm branded mug and |
| 1973s | then on the back is uh this you can |
| 1975s | trust |
| 1976s | uh it's supposed to be for beer right or |
| 1978s | yeah it was originally supposed to be |
| 1979s | like a beer mug so yeah like this you |
| 1981s | can trust it it's a reference to the old |
| 1982s | like riddle of Steel |
| 1984s | um or I think it was real steel it's |
| 1986s | like when uh it's like a vision of |
| 1987s | Conan's father telling them like you can |
| 1988s | trust no man but then handsome a sword |
| 1991s | and implying you know this you can trust |
| 1993s | the complaint you know the steel at your |
| 1995s | side is the only thing that you can |
| 1996s | trust like yourself and you know your |
| 1998s | your your your arms as it were from the |
| 2001s | first Schwarzenegger movie that's what |
| 2003s | it was that's right oh yeah it's seeing |
| 2005s | seeing Arnold |
| 2007s | showing excitement on potentially |
| 2009s | reprising his role as Conan or something |
| 2011s | that'll be really cool okay so before |
| 2013s | before I get into that before I get |
| 2015s | sidetracked as I do sometimes because I |
| 2017s | have terrible ADHD |
| 2019s | um let's swap to in-game view |
| 2024s | hello |
| 2025s | okay hold on |
| 2027s | oh that's why hello are we going to The |
| 2029s | Horde yeah let's show off The Horde uh I |
| 2032s | don't know where it is oh it's in the |
| 2034s | main building here so yeah yeah so just |
| 2036s | go through those big three doors and |
| 2037s | it's just like pretty much straight |
| 2038s | ahead |
| 2043s | yeah oh that's a cool building set yeah |
| 2046s | so here we're also of course so the the |
| 2048s | update of course will also include |
| 2050s | um as you might expect and we'll go into |
| 2051s | later or into it later as well like new |
| 2053s | building pieces new costumes new uh |
| 2055s | doors and decorations uh and of course |
| 2058s | new placeables uh but we'll yeah we'll |
| 2060s | show we'll show some of that stuff off |
| 2061s | in a little bit so here we have a custom |
| 2063s | treasure room uh made for our Guild or a |
| 2066s | clan called The Hunters uh sporting a |
| 2069s | custom emblem that I just threw together |
| 2071s | uh which we'll show in a little bit too |
| 2073s | um and so this uh this basically shows |
| 2075s | you that uh when you are like when you |
| 2079s | create a Clan you can create a room and |
| 2081s | you place down your first |
| 2083s | uh like horde like centerpiece I don't |
| 2086s | know exactly what you would call it but |
| 2087s | uh the Coffer the Coffer okay yeah so |
| 2089s | the bench with like you know the the |
| 2091s | placeable for the building for it uh |
| 2093s | visually it's it's represented by a |
| 2095s | large chest uh and also uh comes bundled |
| 2099s | with a friendly accountant |
| 2102s | there checking your books for you and |
| 2105s | then you can also check your uh Clan's |
| 2107s | total uh like uh currency value like you |
| 2111s | know what's in your horde by like simply |
| 2113s | uh interacting with it uh to see what's |
| 2116s | all there and uh all items like so you |
| 2120s | saw in the chest for example there's a |
| 2121s | bunch of like golden gold coins uh that |
| 2123s | you just placed directly into the chest |
| 2125s | and it will be counted uh for your horde |
| 2128s | uh and then you may have noticed on that |
| 2130s | list also a couple of uh yes so anything |
| 2133s | marked treasure will count towards your |
| 2135s | Clan's horde total now when Dennis was |
| 2138s | talking to our friend here you might |
| 2140s | have also noticed a couple entries at |
| 2142s | the bottom that |
| 2144s | ancient lumerian statue for example cat |
| 2147s | Idol and you can see they're worth a ton |
| 2149s | in comparison so what are these These |
| 2152s | are called heroic Treasures |
| 2155s | um in addition to carrying around you |
| 2158s | know gold or gold coins or gold bars in |
| 2159s | your inventory we also have these giant |
| 2162s | centerpieces that are worth a ton |
| 2165s | they're Larger than Life you can't quite |
| 2166s | fit them in your pockets and so |
| 2169s | you have to haul them around they're big |
| 2174s | oops |
| 2178s | so big in fact |
| 2181s | um that the walking animation yeah |
| 2182s | correctly yeah Stone development folks |
| 2184s | yeah everything everything's shown here |
| 2186s | today is still in development uh is |
| 2188s | subject to change you're gonna you might |
| 2189s | see a couple bugs here and there uh |
| 2191s | please excuse us for this but yeah so |
| 2193s | when you find heroic treasure and you'll |
| 2195s | find heroic treasure in various camps uh |
| 2197s | throughout both |
| 2199s | um Isla SEPTA and the exiled lands |
| 2202s | um when you clear the camp you can then |
| 2204s | pick up |
| 2205s | the heroic treasure and transport it |
| 2207s | back to your base |
| 2209s | now |
| 2210s | the the exciting part is |
| 2212s | when you're holding it you know you're |
| 2214s | slowed you have to haul it around and |
| 2216s | you're completely vulnerable while |
| 2218s | you're holding it so it's very important |
| 2220s | that you bring we highly suggest |
| 2222s | bringing some friends that you trust it |
| 2225s | is really fun with friends it is yeah |
| 2227s | like going through a camp with just a |
| 2229s | bunch of guys coming to attack you and |
| 2231s | that's kind of part of you know why in |
| 2233s | Championship another evolution of this |
| 2235s | but in chapter one you know you'll just |
| 2238s | have to defend from the native |
| 2239s | population whatever Camp you're walking |
| 2240s | through and in chapter two we're going |
| 2242s | to have it so Relic Hunters actually |
| 2244s | Ambush you trying to take the treasure |
| 2246s | from you while you're carrying it |
| 2248s | yeah so I'm not seeing in channel so can |
| 2250s | it be dropped yes so like you know if |
| 2252s | you if you do get ambushed like yeah you |
| 2253s | can drop it and then take up arms if you |
| 2255s | really need to like obviously |
| 2257s | yeah yeah so like yes oopsie that wasn't |
| 2260s | the cat |
| 2262s | yeah so like anything you do like I just |
| 2264s | jumped there that'll do it yeah you see |
| 2266s | you just drop it |
| 2267s | no and so yeah I saw another question |
| 2269s | chat like I think uh they said that can |
| 2270s | thralls pick it up or anything like that |
| 2272s | uh I don't think currently uh but I |
| 2274s | believe you can teleport with the |
| 2277s | treasures if I'm not mistaken you can |
| 2279s | teleport with them |
| 2280s | um we have kind of some stretch goals to |
| 2282s | be able to you know let let thralls or |
| 2285s | mounts carry them later down the road |
| 2287s | but for the initial release it's not the |
| 2290s | case I'm not even sure that we'll do it |
| 2292s | during this age or not but it's a thing |
| 2295s | that we've been talking about and |
| 2297s | thinking about yeah |
| 2298s | yeah it's something that's that was that |
| 2300s | got brought up like an internal like |
| 2301s | play test and stuff like that too and so |
| 2304s | also something to note |
| 2305s | um sometimes you'll notice also this |
| 2306s | like big like uh room-wide VFX there |
| 2309s | like all that like funky stuff that's |
| 2311s | kind of like the um like the the area |
| 2313s | like the sphere of influence for your |
| 2314s | horde so any any Treasures like any big |
| 2316s | Treasures placed uh within that area |
| 2319s | will uh be considered as part of your |
| 2321s | horde so you can see it's actually a |
| 2323s | pretty sizable space you don't have to |
| 2324s | like put it right in the same room uh it |
| 2326s | allows you to make like a big elaborate |
| 2327s | treasure room for your clan for example |
| 2329s | and then and have a kid it out you know |
| 2331s | the glitz and Glam everywhere and have |
| 2333s | all you know put your put your Jade War |
| 2336s | horns or cat statues arrange them and |
| 2338s | however you want et cetera Etc here's |
| 2340s | another statue |
| 2342s | people |
| 2343s | and so these various things will be uh |
| 2346s | appearing uh pretty much at random at |
| 2348s | various camps uh throughout the world uh |
| 2350s | and in fact I believe uh we're doing we |
| 2353s | can touch on this a little bit later |
| 2354s | when we talk about combat about a lot of |
| 2356s | camps have also just been like kind of |
| 2358s | redone or rebalanced or just repopulated |
| 2360s | in various ways as well this guy's |
| 2362s | forearm strength is insane |
| 2366s | that's a hell of a posture dang |
| 2369s | I think that's like core strength |
| 2370s | actually it's like you know you're |
| 2371s | holding the there but then like lower |
| 2373s | back is just like oh yeah getting pulled |
| 2375s | out yeah |
| 2378s | it's funny you mentioned that oh |
| 2383s | oh sorry |
| 2386s | what huh and what just happened oh sorry |
| 2390s | I I just realized that I didn't move the |
| 2393s | video over anyway yeah so they would |
| 2395s | have a diving animation we can show that |
| 2396s | oh yes I was joking no no we're actually |
| 2399s | adding a new diving animation to the |
| 2401s | update and I was gonna I had a little |
| 2402s | clip of like the character jumping off |
| 2404s | like the the big one of the big Bridges |
| 2406s | and falling but yeah you can you kind of |
| 2407s | did it here yes so you can actually in |
| 2410s | fact Swan Dive |
| 2413s | if you want if you want to jump three |
| 2415s | feet and then go head first into your |
| 2416s | pile of coins |
| 2417s | you know go Hog Wild uh you can do that |
| 2421s | yes off the top rope got him let's go |
| 2425s | um a lot of these uh Treasures that you |
| 2427s | can pick up too have little interactions |
| 2429s | so they'll like play a sound uh whenever |
| 2431s | you interact with them oh sweet yeah |
| 2434s | we have a couple other new items |
| 2436s | actually along those lines too which we |
| 2438s | can show in a bit I think we had oh yeah |
| 2439s | a couple that we laid out I don't know |
| 2440s | if it was totally clear but like all |
| 2441s | these gold piles and everything on the |
| 2443s | floor and everything are things that you |
| 2444s | can put out so you can make the room |
| 2446s | look however you want yeah yeah |
| 2448s | yeah this is just like how we dress that |
| 2449s | up like this is how our um our guy over |
| 2452s | in Oslo torregul uh Anderson uh yeah the |
| 2455s | the person uh who like builds all these |
| 2457s | like huge bases for all our uh |
| 2460s | like marketing b-roll and other |
| 2462s | screenshots uh he he builds stuff like |
| 2464s | this and so yeah he arranged the room |
| 2466s | however he wants I can I can imagine in |
| 2468s | chat right now be like oh yeah it's too |
| 2470s | big for a clean spam |
| 2472s | I know uh we also have that's why we do |
| 2474s | it on privacy for sure we'll show stuff |
| 2475s | later huh |
| 2478s | it's right there I mean we'll have we |
| 2479s | have new dungeon pieces that are coming |
| 2481s | up as well I did see someone could make |
| 2482s | a comment about like uh make a joke |
| 2484s | about like oh yeah it's the age of death |
| 2486s | by snoo snoo or something like that and |
| 2488s | we we just we saw the Tweet we were like |
| 2490s | yeah |
| 2492s | length of the image of uh Fry's app and |
| 2495s | Kip actually in the shackles and I was |
| 2497s | like they have no idea how close to |
| 2498s | reality that actually is yeah so yeah |
| 2500s | you can you can chain yourself up uh to |
| 2503s | them or actually you can also throw a uh |
| 2506s | for all yeah you could put unconverted |
| 2508s | thralls into this as well right now you |
| 2511s | can't take them out that's the thing we |
| 2512s | might change later like making it |
| 2513s | unconverted through all storage or |
| 2515s | something but for now it's just you put |
| 2516s | one in and they're stuck in there yeah |
| 2518s | and simply replace it yeah if you want |
| 2519s | if you want to put it you have to you |
| 2521s | have to destroy the thrall and have it |
| 2523s | replaced in order to uh |
| 2528s | video games folks so |
| 2531s | um and so uh we have the horde room we |
| 2534s | have all this |
| 2535s | um and yeah like I guess I guess the |
| 2538s | main thing is like you know why is this |
| 2539s | important to you why is this something |
| 2540s | you should care about like you want you |
| 2541s | want to like build up your resources |
| 2543s | um because later you're going to be able |
| 2545s | to uh use those funds that you you know |
| 2547s | use that currency you've accumulated for |
| 2548s | for a ton of things for your clan and |
| 2550s | for your for your base and uh you know |
| 2552s | for your server basically uh we have we |
| 2554s | have a lot of uh a lot of really awesome |
| 2556s | stuff cooking up um yeah it'll also be |
| 2558s | the what determines the difficulty of |
| 2560s | The Purge that's right so uh you know if |
| 2564s | you want to get high tier ones you |
| 2565s | should have a high full overflowing |
| 2567s | Coffer yeah if you have a huge horde |
| 2569s | then yeah you're going to get a |
| 2570s | consummate uh |
| 2571s | bunch of folks being like hey |
| 2573s | we get some of that I'm trying to break |
| 2575s | your break your walls down and get a |
| 2576s | piece |
| 2579s | um and so like you know obviously with |
| 2581s | uh planned hordes being a thing like uh |
| 2584s | there's definitely an emphasis on a clan |
| 2586s | nudity and bringing bringing your your |
| 2588s | players under the same Banner uh and so |
| 2591s | um to that end also we we also wanted to |
| 2593s | make sure that uh Clans and players and |
| 2596s | communities had finally had better ways |
| 2598s | to uh Express uh their own like |
| 2601s | individual group's identity and so we |
| 2604s | are going to also be rolling out a new |
| 2606s | uh Clan Emblem workbench uh Clan Emblem |
| 2609s | totem which allows you to uh customize |
| 2612s | with with some caveats uh for your clan |
| 2616s | uh to display on various items and new |
| 2619s | placeables that we're adding as well uh |
| 2621s | I think what's going into the update are |
| 2623s | a couple different Shields one of them |
| 2624s | is equipped on the character right here |
| 2626s | that displays your Clan Emblem as well |
| 2628s | as a variety of building placeables and |
| 2630s | wall pieces and various banners that you |
| 2632s | can put around your base as well |
| 2635s | um so you can see some banners yeah |
| 2637s | instance up there my pink fish actually |
| 2640s | one of the sickest things you can get |
| 2643s | is in the other corner |
| 2645s | of this base that I know the layout of |
| 2647s | very well very intimately yeah |
| 2650s | yeah |
| 2652s | so that that appears on your on your |
| 2654s | horse as well |
| 2658s | um we'll go into it a little bit also |
| 2660s | but |
| 2661s | um when like when someone with |
| 2663s | permissions to update the emblem for |
| 2664s | your clan updates it uh it is |
| 2666s | automatically propagated across every |
| 2668s | surface that your clan owns that has |
| 2669s | that is able to display a banner so you |
| 2671s | don't have to like go back and like |
| 2672s | painstakingly update each individual |
| 2674s | piece or anything like that and then |
| 2676s | there'll also be some permissions as |
| 2678s | well so like uh if if you know you can |
| 2680s | only set it so like a certain person or |
| 2682s | certain person of a certain rank of a |
| 2683s | clan can edit the emblem uh and |
| 2686s | um you know like the the basic recruits |
| 2688s | like cannot for example in order to |
| 2690s | prevent griefing |
| 2692s | um |
| 2693s | so here's the UI uh that we're that |
| 2695s | we're working with and so uh you'll be |
| 2698s | able to choose from a variety of uh |
| 2700s | emblems and backgrounds that we uh their |
| 2703s | preset I saw a question in chat asking |
| 2704s | if you can import your own emblems uh we |
| 2707s | won't be allowing that um for this |
| 2709s | feature just because that opens up a lot |
| 2711s | of uh unfortunate |
| 2713s | um adult content yeah it's just it's |
| 2715s | just |
| 2716s | you just know people going to use that |
| 2717s | to troll people and it's like that's not |
| 2719s | that's just not something that we that |
| 2721s | we want and we have the ability to yeah |
| 2722s | it's just not something that we want for |
| 2724s | anyone really |
| 2726s | um and so we'll have a bunch of preset |
| 2727s | emblems and backgrounds that you can |
| 2729s | choose from and we'll be adding more as |
| 2730s | time goes on as well uh we'll also be |
| 2732s | adding a variety of emblems uh for |
| 2735s | example to battle pass rewards |
| 2737s | um and that might for example be uh take |
| 2740s | the place of like maybe some of those |
| 2741s | wall sprays that we've seen a lot of |
| 2743s | comments about just to help increase the |
| 2745s | value of those and then also |
| 2747s | um in case you're wondering also uh you |
| 2750s | yourself so as long as the person |
| 2752s | setting the emblem has a special emblem |
| 2755s | learned that it doesn't come by default |
| 2757s | that's still displayed for everyone who |
| 2759s | has a thing that's still this like if |
| 2761s | that gets updated everyone still gets to |
| 2763s | show it up even if like like if Dennis |
| 2765s | has a special emblem and I don't or like |
| 2767s | he got like some emblem from somewhere |
| 2769s | else that I don't I don't know myself I |
| 2771s | still get to show it off them I think |
| 2772s | because he he set the banner and then it |
| 2774s | shows up on my stuff so yeah just in |
| 2776s | case that's a concern in the clan will |
| 2777s | see the same the same image no matter |
| 2779s | what it's set to whether you own that |
| 2781s | thing or not |
| 2782s | pardon |
| 2784s | of course |
| 2786s | ah yes cool |
| 2789s | so um and then yeah we'll be adding more |
| 2791s | things that also like uh we also intend |
| 2793s | on adding more things that also show uh |
| 2795s | Planet booms and again we'll be showing |
| 2796s | off uh and adding more emblems in the |
| 2799s | future as well |
| 2801s | just trying to read through here |
| 2805s | um let's see here |
| 2808s | so yeah |
| 2809s | um I think that so that's about it for |
| 2812s | the clan features that we have coming up |
| 2814s | and this is uh these are the basic |
| 2815s | things that we're adding uh for the |
| 2817s | first phase of the age of War |
| 2820s | um we wanted to move into combat updates |
| 2823s | in a bit but I also wanted to take a |
| 2825s | minute to see if there's any like |
| 2826s | additional questions that we can answer |
| 2828s | about some of the clan features now and |
| 2831s | then we can move into the the major |
| 2833s | combat stuff the Nitty Gritty system |
| 2834s | stuff |
| 2836s | what happens if Purge is disabled |
| 2839s | uh you just won't be able to summon a |
| 2841s | purge yeah yeah |
| 2842s | um so I guess that's the thing I can |
| 2844s | talk a little bit more about too The |
| 2846s | Purge isn't going to be an overbearing |
| 2848s | system that just occurs because you play |
| 2850s | the game it will become an opt-in system |
| 2852s | so now when you want to purge just like |
| 2855s | the convergence trap you'll be able to |
| 2856s | say I would like a purge now and |
| 2859s | basically press a button for it and some |
| 2860s | of the purge to attack you it won't just |
| 2863s | happen for no reason |
| 2865s | and yeah all that um pretty much as far |
| 2868s | as I know like all the stuff that we're |
| 2869s | going to be showing off here will also |
| 2871s | be available on Septa uh as well for the |
| 2873s | most part yeah |
| 2875s | um like obviously like any changes that |
| 2877s | we make to like specific map elements in |
| 2878s | the exact lens which there there might |
| 2880s | be some some small changes uh with the |
| 2883s | with the shift into a new age uh some |
| 2886s | things from the pre the prior age uh may |
| 2889s | have may have changed a little bit yeah |
| 2891s | some some things from the old age of uh |
| 2894s | you know change some some people some |
| 2896s | new people are showing up yeah yeah yeah |
| 2897s | some some notable NPCs May for example |
| 2900s | have taken a load off lost a few pounds |
| 2903s | really really trim some weight off their |
| 2905s | body you know okay so we got a question |
| 2907s | from Chad are there permissions for |
| 2909s | storage like for the Coffer and stuff |
| 2911s | like Clan permissions at all or |
| 2913s | to keep teammates or clan mates from oh |
| 2916s | just like ganking the gold |
| 2918s | uh that won't really be expanded upon |
| 2920s | until the second chapter |
| 2922s | um I am almost positive that is in our |
| 2924s | design for it |
| 2926s | um so not just anyone can spend it |
| 2928s | so eventually yes but in chapter one |
| 2931s | it's going to be anyone can move |
| 2933s | whatever's there so yeah but there's |
| 2935s | nothing to do with it really the the |
| 2937s | actual value in chapter one yeah I just |
| 2939s | want to collect because then then you'll |
| 2941s | be able to to use that for the purges in |
| 2943s | the next chapter obviously like when |
| 2945s | you're in your clan like make sure you |
| 2946s | recruit people that you trust like |
| 2947s | that's just kind of like yeah we can't |
| 2949s | really like govern all that like that's |
| 2950s | that's kind of up to you and your |
| 2951s | community yes question from Chad |
| 2954s | um what happens if someone takes your |
| 2956s | that's got your emblem on it does it |
| 2959s | change the emblem emblem or does it keep |
| 2962s | the emblem yeah it would change to match |
| 2964s | your guild if you're if you're sorry |
| 2966s | your clan if your clan had an emblem if |
| 2969s | they don't have one it's either going to |
| 2971s | revert to like a default or like kind of |
| 2974s | blank surface or something yeah |
| 2976s | um but yeah right now it and always |
| 2979s | it'll just do whatever your Clan Has so |
| 2981s | if you take it from someone you're claim |
| 2982s | to one piercing |
| 2984s | that is a really neat idea though like |
| 2986s | the idea of like a trophy or something |
| 2987s | like kills you've made from from enemy |
| 2990s | players or something like that yeah that |
| 2991s | is a cool idea thank you for that yeah |
| 2994s | all right |
| 2996s | just uh going over chat just like really |
| 2999s | quick again and slopping back over to |
| 3001s | the gameplay someone said alliances |
| 3004s | would be nice we actually have a plan |
| 3005s | right now in the third chapter to allow |
| 3008s | people to be able to make an alliance |
| 3009s | but it's still going to require some |
| 3010s | play testing and stuff like that too the |
| 3013s | whole idea is just that you'd be able to |
| 3016s | make a temporary alliance with another |
| 3017s | person or Clan and that would just |
| 3019s | reduce the amount of PVP damage they |
| 3021s | deal you deal to them and it would |
| 3023s | remove Target locking just like if |
| 3024s | you're in a normal Clan with someone and |
| 3027s | then after some period of time or some |
| 3028s | event that would get broken but that is |
| 3030s | in our in our plans |
| 3034s | what about uh huh yeah I mean we're |
| 3038s | seeing a lot of comments about the |
| 3039s | PlayStation 5 specifically uh I'm not |
| 3041s | personally aware of any details about |
| 3043s | that right now and so I'm sorry we can't |
| 3045s | uh directly address that in today's |
| 3047s | stream oh something I will say though |
| 3049s | something that uh we are aware of and |
| 3051s | we're working on a fixed for that should |
| 3053s | be in this update is I know a lot of |
| 3055s | folks have talked about uh like |
| 3057s | disconnects |
| 3058s | um and that is that is something that we |
| 3060s | actually have a fix in for in testing |
| 3062s | right now |
| 3063s | um and so yeah well we hope to have that |
| 3065s | out |
| 3066s | uh most likely with the age of War |
| 3069s | update uh which which will be coming a |
| 3071s | little bit later |
| 3072s | um but we do have uh we do have a handle |
| 3074s | on it so yeah be sure yeah we are aware |
| 3077s | that we know that we know that's |
| 3078s | something that a lot of folks are |
| 3079s | worried about we know it's a while out |
| 3081s | but um |
| 3082s | the process to get updates out is |
| 3084s | lengthy so it's about the soonest we |
| 3086s | really yeah yeah that's the thing too |
| 3088s | like if it's if it was just like Steam |
| 3091s | for example it'll be one thing but yeah |
| 3092s | with uh with their other partners in |
| 3094s | publishing uh like on consoles there's |
| 3096s | there's a lot of additional steps and |
| 3097s | certifications that we have to do so |
| 3098s | it's not a it's not as simple a process |
| 3100s | as like push button send update as much |
| 3103s | as we'd love it to be sadly |
| 3106s | okay |
| 3107s | um just wanted to move on uh we'll take |
| 3108s | some more questions towards the end but |
| 3110s | we still have a lot of meaty stuff to |
| 3112s | cover uh and so I wanted to see you into |
| 3114s | combat |
| 3116s | combat mechanics and combat changes this |
| 3118s | is all free update so far yeah yeah so I |
| 3121s | mean yeah so everything's shown right |
| 3122s | here is just it's going to come baked in |
| 3124s | with the age of War update when that |
| 3127s | launches we don't have a release date to |
| 3129s | share at this moment uh however we uh |
| 3132s | there it may go into it's going to be on |
| 3134s | public beta extremely soon we'll talk |
| 3136s | about that in just a sec |
| 3138s | um but yeah the armor set I was wearing |
| 3139s | is not free right well yeah yeah sorry |

| 3152s | future things we're talking about also |
| 3154s | well you know you won't these are all |
| 3155s | going to be free updates and we're |
| 3157s | sticking to our commitment of like |
| 3158s | having these like major gameplay |
| 3159s | features be like the big free updates |
| 3162s | that you get just like sorcery for |
| 3163s | example uh and then you know the the |
| 3166s | what kind of like supports the |
| 3168s | development event really you know funds |
| 3170s | the development that is like you know |
| 3172s | the the systems that you see like you |

| 3184s | know just really cool stuff and and |
| 3186s | realize our vision uh for the game |
| 3188s | without |
| 3189s | you know charging for it for new |
| 3191s | features |
| 3193s | let's see okay |
| 3195s | so hopefully that addresses some of your |
| 3197s | concerns and again yeah I know you're |
| 3198s | going to have a ton of questions and |
| 3199s | there'll be plenty of time to ask them |
| 3201s | uh there'll be places you know we |
| 3202s | welcome you to drop comments on the |
| 3204s | forums as well or on social media we |
| 3206s | always read that |
| 3208s | um just please be you know please be |
| 3209s | constructive if you can if you're really |
| 3211s | angry |
| 3212s | you know |
| 3215s | don't use that try not to use expletives |
| 3216s | don't make it personal anyway sorry uh |
| 3218s | talking about making a personal uh we're |
| 3220s | going to now detail some uh a big big |
| 3225s | changes to the combat Paradigm within |
| 3228s | Conan exiles |
| 3229s | Dennis yeah um this might seem a little |
| 3232s | bit scattered because there's a lot of |
| 3233s | stuff to talk about and I'll probably |
| 3235s | remember some of it while I'm talking |
| 3236s | about it |
| 3238s | um |
| 3240s | so yes we're addressing two big things |
| 3244s | in in this age one of them is that we |
| 3248s | are working on AI in general so we know |
| 3251s | that right now on servers with a you |
| 3253s | know decent number of players it starts |
| 3256s | to break down pretty bad even if you're |
| 3257s | playing in single player it's not always |
| 3258s | terribly interesting |
| 3261s | um so we're kind of coming in on both of |
| 3263s | those fronts right like let's try to |
| 3265s | make it fun to fight things to begin |
| 3266s | with and then also try to fix those on |
| 3268s | servers |
| 3270s | um so to begin with one of the biggest |
| 3273s | problems one of the biggest issues that |
| 3275s | I had was |
| 3278s | uh players seem to have almost infinite |
| 3280s | stamina and I know a lot of people will |
| 3283s | um |
| 3284s | might recognize this with like dagger |
| 3286s | spam for instance right like just |
| 3288s | spamming light attack on daggers and |
| 3290s | auto targets your enemy it keeps going |
| 3291s | uh and you can just Spam it forever |
| 3293s | because it costs eight stamina |
| 3295s | so one of the first big things we did |
| 3298s | was increase the cost of stamina for |
| 3300s | attacks |
| 3301s | and increase the Regeneration rate of |
| 3303s | stamina so now there's a point where you |
| 3305s | can run out of stamina and get stamina |
| 3307s | back again |
| 3309s | that gives other players and AI a chance |
| 3313s | to actually attack you |
| 3315s | before this update we had a system in |
| 3317s | that would let AI just become |
| 3318s | invulnerable to stuns for a short period |
| 3320s | of time and when you're playing the game |
| 3322s | it feels like a bug because you know |
| 3324s | when you hit something it should get |
| 3325s | stunned so why after I hit it for two |
| 3327s | and a half seconds does it stop getting |
| 3329s | stunned so we took that system out |
| 3331s | completely and just made |
| 3334s | um enemies you know they get the chance |
| 3336s | to attack back now when you run out of |
| 3338s | stamina |
| 3340s | uh we also did a HP Nerf across enemies |
| 3343s | or for enemies across the board which |
| 3346s | also makes your character feel stronger |
| 3348s | and |
| 3350s | um we increase the amount of damage that |
| 3352s | a lot of enemies do as well to increase |
| 3353s | their threat |
| 3354s | so there's a little bit more tension in |
| 3357s | combat now than there was before that's |
| 3359s | really the whole aim to the all of the |
| 3361s | changes is to increase like the ebb and |
| 3363s | flow of combat to make it feel like |
| 3365s | there are more tense moments and moments |
| 3367s | where you know you can breathe and kind |
| 3369s | of overcome an enemy |
| 3371s | um |
| 3372s | yeah let's see uh the new two skull |
| 3374s | Champion enemies so uh for one two and |
| 3376s | three skull enemies we also rebalance |
| 3378s | their difficulty with the idea |
| 3380s | essentially that the number of skulls |
| 3382s | reflected the number of players we would |
| 3383s | think that you would need to fight them |
| 3385s | so you can still kill the red mother |
| 3387s | which is still three skulls by yourself |
| 3389s | it'll just take longer we're trying to |
| 3392s | reduce the amount of feeling of Health |
| 3393s | sponge of enemies |
| 3396s | um weapon classifications updated |
| 3399s | yeah so uh I mean we're we're we |
| 3402s | category we are re-categorizing a number |
| 3404s | of items uh to be classified with the |
| 3407s | unique epic and legendary distinctions |
| 3409s | right uh and so kind of part of that is |
| 3411s | that legendary weapons are getting |
| 3413s | gigabuffed that's part yeah uh we we |
| 3416s | know legendary weapon we've seen a lot |
| 3418s | of feedback from players saying uh that |
| 3420s | they just feel like Legendary Weapons |
| 3422s | just don't really uh like aren't |
| 3424s | consummate with their title like they |
| 3425s | don't really feel legendary uh and so we |
| 3428s | we want to address that so Legendary |
| 3429s | Weapons will will be uh they will take |
| 3432s | the Throne of being just extremely |
| 3435s | powerful weapons however they will not |
| 3437s | be craftable anymore it's my |
| 3439s | understanding they won't last forever |
| 3440s | either yes and |
| 3443s | um |
| 3444s | so yeah Legendary Weapons will be will |
| 3447s | be like at the very top tier of like end |
| 3449s | game uh items that you collect through |
| 3450s | adventuring and then under that would be |
| 3452s | epic items which are still craftable |
| 3454s | really powerful but uh you know a |
| 3456s | legendary item of uh you know a similar |
| 3459s | classification or similar tier or like |
| 3461s | level tier uh a legendary open will or |
| 3464s | or should be the the intent is that it |
| 3466s | will outperform the legendary will yeah |
| 3472s | the legendaries will be the top no |
| 3474s | matter okay okay like no matter what |
| 3475s | that's gonna be the best thing you can |
| 3477s | get cool |
| 3478s | um then there's also you know whenever |
| 3480s | we play test we found ourselves going |
| 3482s | into camps a lot and seeing you know we |
| 3485s | would loot a lot of Chess and there was |
| 3486s | a lot of stuff to find but we never |
| 3488s | really found anything interesting in |
| 3489s | those chests |
| 3490s | so in the second chapter there will |
| 3492s | become a really big revamp to the amount |
| 3495s | of like the type of items that you find |
| 3497s | in a chest we have plans like we never |
| 3500s | add base materials so you'll never lose |
| 3502s | plant fiber or sticks from a chest again |
| 3504s | you know it has to be unique items or or |
| 3507s | combined materials |
| 3510s | additionally we made a new tier of |
| 3512s | weapon called a unique weapon which will |
| 3514s | have a blue border and the blue border |
| 3517s | weapons will be better than what you can |
| 3519s | typically craft in their given tier |
| 3521s | but they will also you know you won't be |
| 3524s | able to repair them forever and we'll |
| 3526s | talk a little bit more yeah about that |
| 3527s | you know a couple times yeah and then |
| 3529s | like unique weapons are still strong but |
| 3531s | like they they themselves will still be |
| 3533s | outperformed by their epic and legendary |
| 3535s | counterparts for the most part but |
| 3537s | they'll still be really good like if you |
| 3538s | get one like |
| 3539s | it'll it'll carry you for a while for |
| 3541s | sure yeah and uh there's there's five |
| 3543s | total tiers of weapon strength and |
| 3546s | legendary sits at the top and then |
| 3547s | working yourself from you know Stone to |
| 3549s | iron uh to uh you know we have a section |
| 3553s | that's like uh like the steel stuff well |
| 3555s | there's like steel and then there's like |
| 3557s | all rare stuff oh yeah yeah oh okay yeah |
| 3560s | we put like cars to you and obsidian and |
| 3563s | anything that's just not like basic |
| 3565s | steel basically like in its own tier uh |
| 3567s | and they're called like rare metal or |
| 3570s | rare or weapons and they're just uh a |
| 3573s | bit under legendary uh but also the last |
| 3575s | bullet point on any slide is durability |
| 3577s | now has to be managed |
| 3580s | um I think I've spilled the bean several |
| 3582s | times on stream that one of our design |
| 3584s | uh guidelines for Exiles is that nothing |
| 3587s | is permanent and you know you should |
| 3590s | basically always have to work to |
| 3591s | maintain and keep things up so that you |
| 3593s | know the world is pushing back against |
| 3594s | you and with weapons right now it's not |
| 3597s | really the case because you can get or |
| 3599s | build one weapon and keep that weapon |
| 3601s | forever just by repairing it over and |
| 3603s | over again |
| 3604s | so in this update there will be uh a bit |
| 3608s | of a rebalance there as well where when |
| 3609s | you repair an item it will lose its |
| 3612s | maximum durability |
| 3613s | you know depending on the quality of |
| 3615s | repair kit you use that durability may |
| 3617s | be more or less but you will have to use |
| 3619s | repair kits to repair things and you |
| 3621s | won't be able to keep those items |
| 3622s | forever because of that |
| 3624s | this is a big thing especially for |
| 3626s | legendaries because like we want you to |
| 3628s | explore in the world we want you to |
| 3629s | leave your base and go out and get |
| 3630s | something cool be excited that you got |
| 3632s | it and bring it back and you know use it |
| 3634s | whenever you feel like it's a good uh a |
| 3636s | good situation so I know that that might |
| 3640s | sound very scary the numbers are pretty |
| 3642s | forgiving though it's not |
| 3645s | you know if you guys are familiar with |
| 3647s | playing breath of the wild some weapons |
| 3649s | in that game might break very quickly |
| 3650s | yeah we're not gonna have we're not |
| 3651s | trying to copy yeah yeah yeah we're not |
| 3653s | gonna have weapons breaking three hits |
| 3654s | don't worry yeah your things will last |
| 3657s | long even with the worst repair kits but |
| 3659s | they will not last forever |
| 3662s | yeah and then also has a um side point |
| 3665s | also uh legendary repair kits are being |
| 3667s | renamed to Grant Master repair kits to |
| 3669s | avoid any confusion with like legendary |
| 3670s | kits and Legendary Weapons uh and then |
| 3673s | also as a side point uh any Journey |
| 3674s | steps that previously required to you to |
| 3677s | craft a legendary item will be changed |
| 3679s | to just require an epic weapon of a |
| 3681s | similar similar type instead so uh that |
| 3684s | shouldn't block you as well in case we |
| 3685s | missed anything like obviously like |
| 3687s | please let us know |
| 3688s | um it's going up in tests and so |
| 3690s | let us know so yeah obviously like this |
| 3692s | you know this this sounds kind of scary |
| 3693s | but we're hoping that uh and we might be |
| 3695s | able to kind of show an example of kind |
| 3697s | of what that might look like but |
| 3699s | don't worry like once you get your hands |
| 3701s | on it we're hoping that uh we're hoping |
| 3703s | that it doesn't sound as scary and |
| 3704s | obviously like please leave your |
| 3705s | feedback uh like when you do get your |
| 3707s | hands on and play around because we're |
| 3708s | always going to be listening to that |
| 3709s | yeah same with the stamina changes you |
| 3712s | know I don't think I don't know if we |
| 3713s | really we didn't really show it off yet |
| 3714s | but uh they cost a lot more stamina now |
| 3717s | but the flip side of the coin |
| 3719s | interesting and it comes back much |
| 3720s | faster yes so you know you really find |
| 3723s | yourself doing little strings of Combos |
| 3724s | and then waiting a second giving some |
| 3726s | breathing room and then doing some more |
| 3728s | um so I have a character right now that |
| 3730s | isn't you know they have some grit I |
| 3732s | think it's coming from these uh yeah |
| 3734s | from these armor pieces they have a |
| 3735s | little extra stamina so they don't have |
| 3737s | the base 100 stamina and I'll just give |
| 3740s | a little a couple examples of some |
| 3742s | weapons |
| 3743s | um |
| 3744s | like so I have I have a I think this is |
| 3746s | a one-handed sword not a short sword |
| 3747s | just let me it is a short sword so a |
| 3750s | short sword |
| 3751s | um basically the kind of the rules like |
| 3752s | the smaller the weapon the less stamina |
| 3754s | it costs to swag in general and it |
| 3756s | should feel very natural so when I use |
| 3758s | light attacks with this sword |
| 3760s | um you can see it's taking about 20 |
| 3762s | maybe a little less like 19 stamina or |
| 3764s | something like that |
| 3766s | um and then when I use heavy attacks the |
| 3767s | heavy attacks are much more much more |
| 3769s | possibly they're taking more you know |
| 3770s | like yeah the other ones are like 15 and |
| 3772s | these are the 20 basically yeah you'll |
| 3773s | see uh across the board yeah you'll see |
| 3775s | stamina costs for attacks uh |
| 3779s | previously I think weapon attacks cost |
| 3781s | between three and nine stamina and then |
| 3783s | across the board they'll be they'll cost |
| 3784s | from 10 to up to 40 stamina per swing |
| 3786s | but on this on the same token you'll |
| 3789s | also notice that your stamina like the |
| 3790s | delay before stamina starts regening is |
| 3792s | like almost instant so it previously |
| 3794s | used to be like up to like two points |
| 3796s | almost three seconds yeah like almost |
| 3798s | three seconds before your stamina starts |
| 3799s | to regenerate and now it's |
| 3801s | 0.1 seconds across or yeah it's 0.1 yeah |
| 3804s | 0.1 seconds we can set it okay |
| 3807s | it's as close to instant as you can |
| 3809s | possibly make it within like our engine |
| 3811s | so yeah uh you you're spending your |
| 3813s | stamina a lot faster but you're |
| 3815s | regaining it much much faster as well |
| 3817s | and so you get the uh this overhaul to |
| 3820s | like stamina management I think the idea |
| 3822s | is to oh yeah create create a more like |
| 3824s | back and flow uh back and forth flow to |
| 3826s | combat |
| 3828s | um where like dodging and blocking is |
| 3830s | more important |
| 3831s | um and especially like now that you know |
| 3833s | enemies aren't getting uh like they |
| 3835s | don't become immune to the hits done uh |
| 3838s | you know if you if you land like good |
| 3840s | hits in like you you create more |
| 3841s | openings etc etc and I did in addition |
| 3844s | to that |
| 3845s | um all Heavy attacks are all weapons |
| 3847s | across the board uh I believe we're |
| 3849s | gonna do more damage and we'll apply |
| 3850s | some sort of secondary effect on hit |
| 3852s | whether that be like [ __ ] or thunder |
| 3854s | or bleed etc etc so weapons that weapon |
| 3857s | types previously that didn't have you |
| 3860s | know apply debuffs or whatever on a |
| 3862s | heavy attack we'll now have them it's |
| 3865s | like a weapon per weapon basis on like |
| 3867s | what gets what |
| 3868s | um you'll be able to see in the patch |
| 3870s | and that's when we post them later yeah |
| 3871s | and that's really an effort to reduce |
| 3873s | confusion as well because |
| 3876s | you know we we increase the cost of |
| 3878s | attacks which means with some weapons |
| 3880s | you're not going to be able to do a full |
| 3881s | combo um like if you have 100 stamina |
| 3884s | and a two-handed ax you're not going to |
| 3886s | be able to get the final hit in right so |
| 3889s | uh just making the SAS effect apply on |
| 3891s | every heavy attack is a lot less |
| 3892s | confusing and it's easier to get them |
| 3894s | out just feels better across the board |
| 3896s | um and and to contrast this you know |
| 3898s | what I was showing before this is the |
| 3900s | two-handed mace you know so those |
| 3902s | attacks are significantly more costly I |
| 3904s | think it's something in the ballpark of |
| 3905s | like 45 yeah it drains a ton of stamina |
| 3908s | yeah but I'm ideally also like now also |
| 3911s | maybe you want to actually put some |
| 3912s | points |
| 3914s | that's the thing so now if if we |
| 3916s | actually go back and and we put points |
| 3918s | in grit which I save some up just just |
| 3920s | for you guys |
| 3922s | uh |
| 3923s | we can actually swing it and not only we |
| 3925s | can actually do the whole combo now with |
| 3927s | just a few points in the stat yeah and |
| 3929s | then with the regen perk also you just |
| 3930s | get your stamina like super duper fast |
| 3932s | anyway so you can just like kind of Dart |
| 3933s | in and out of combat uh and and time |
| 3937s | your swings better instead of just like |
| 3938s | kind of sitting there and hoping hoping |
| 3940s | to face tank it or you know hoping that |
| 3942s | your enemy can is still hit stunned by |
| 3944s | it or something like that yeah speaking |
| 3946s | of that too |
| 3947s | um we're also starting to work now on |
| 3949s | the the ability to rotate while you're |
| 3952s | performing an attack so |
| 3956s | um I'll try to make this not too nerdy |
| 3957s | but there's a certain window window of |
| 3959s | time after you commit to an attack that |
| 3961s | you'll be able to turn your character uh |
| 3964s | just to can you know to continue |
| 3965s | targeting while you're swinging right |
| 3967s | now one of the things that feels worse |
| 3968s | in combat is when an enemy is walking |
| 3970s | kind of near you or past you and you |
| 3972s | swing and you're aimed at them whenever |
| 3974s | you started the attack but then they |
| 3976s | just kind of sauntered past you and then |
| 3978s | you miss so now you'll be able to keep |
| 3980s | tracking that Target and hit it as well |
| 3984s | it's not going to be like like an Aimbot |
| 3986s | like it's not again right right yeah |
| 3988s | yeah it's like if I do this heavy attack |
| 3989s | when he's winding back you know until he |
| 3992s | actually brings that hammer down I can |
| 3993s | re-aim these yeah yeah so like the idea |
| 3995s | there is yeah to bring down like yeah |
| 3998s | just make it feel more fluid and like |
| 3999s | less like clunky |
| 4001s | relatively speaking considering you're |
| 4002s | wielding a giant hammer ax yeah and then |
| 4005s | someone in chat also uh made a comment |
| 4007s | about it but |
| 4008s | um yeah like the heavy attacks from like |
| 4010s | the space for example might cost a ton |
| 4012s | of stamina but like I believe we're also |
| 4014s | substantially increasing the damage of |
| 4015s | heavy attacks for most things yeah and |
| 4018s | in chapter one there are some heavy |
| 4020s | attack Buffs but in chapter two that's |
| 4021s | when you'll see it hit full force um |
| 4023s | yeah I think yeah sorry I was just gonna |
| 4026s | say we want to make it feel like it was |
| 4028s | worth the stamina yes that you paid for |
| 4030s | it yeah yeah and again like in play |
| 4031s | testing like obviously we want your |
| 4033s | feedback on it so if you really feel |
| 4034s | like like especially in testing like if |
| 4036s | if you feel like it's just not worth it |
| 4038s | please let us know because we can change |
| 4040s | that before it goes live |
| 4043s | um but yeah across the board like heavy |
| 4044s | attacks will probably depending on the |
| 4046s | weapon we'll probably do between like |
| 4047s | five and up to 20 more damage uh |
| 4049s | depending on the weapon type |
| 4051s | which is exciting and then like a bunch |
| 4053s | of other like things like um changes to |
| 4055s | uh some of combat multipliers uh and I |
| 4059s | think and change to Shield durability |
| 4061s | and a couple things tons of things in |
| 4063s | the patch notes uh and of course also um |
| 4066s | since you're also talking about like a |
| 4067s | little bit of the the extra like wiggle |
| 4070s | room for targeting uh we're also making |
| 4072s | some adding some updates to how |
| 4073s | targeting functions as well I think |
| 4076s | outside of the space there should be |
| 4077s | some like elephants already that you can |
| 4079s | just like run out and |
| 4080s | uh go find uh but I know a lot of folks |
| 4084s | have helped okay I mean you can just I |
| 4086s | think it's right out the door |
| 4087s | but we know that like you know something |
| 4090s | that a lot of folks have mentioned is |
| 4091s | something I've I personally have also |
| 4092s | run into is when you're facing off |
| 4094s | against really large enemies like a |
| 4096s | dragon or a mammoth uh might be on the |
| 4098s | other side |
| 4100s | um it just locks on to like their one |
| 4101s | point and you're just kind of like |
| 4102s | sitting there like struggling to have |
| 4104s | the camera like follow along and you |
| 4106s | know people with like motion sickness |
| 4107s | issues also kind of have issues with |
| 4109s | that it's it's just I don't I don't want |
| 4110s | to just stare at just anyway we all know |
| 4113s | the pain |
| 4114s | so uh there's multiple Target anchor |
| 4116s | lock like points now uh on like for |
| 4119s | example on this all the mammoth's legs |
| 4121s | so now instead of like desperately |
| 4123s | trying to Target some anomalous blob |
| 4125s | inside their body you can actually like |
| 4127s | Target their legs and each one is an |
| 4129s | individual point so as like if you if |
| 4130s | you move your Target in cursor yeah you |
| 4132s | can you can lock onto each individual |
| 4133s | Point uh which uh when you're not |
| 4136s | getting uh your ass trampled by mammoths |
| 4139s | uh should at least help with uh being |
| 4141s | able to follow along combat or if you |
| 4143s | want to you know stick to their butt and |
| 4145s | do backstabs it should be a little bit |
| 4146s | easier to follow along yeah we're trying |
| 4148s | to put those on like right now they're |
| 4149s | on things like |
| 4150s | um Frost Giants dragons mammoths so |
| 4153s | anything that's like really big where |
| 4156s | you typically find yourself aiming like |
| 4158s | way high because whenever you aim at the |
| 4161s | character or sorry when you aim at an |
| 4162s | enemy |
| 4163s | your character tries to swing at the |
| 4165s | lock-on point so right here they swing |
| 4167s | really high but right here they swing |
| 4169s | really low so it's a lot easier to |
| 4171s | actually hit them now |
| 4176s | I'm sorry I'm just watching this man |
| 4178s | with like yeah sex your horse sorry yeah |
| 4179s | what's up um so there are concerns sorry |
| 4182s | I'm going to try speaking louder um |
| 4186s | yeah so Nicole's in the back over here |
| 4188s | um just like yeah reading chat and uh |
| 4189s | relaying questions to us there are |
| 4191s | concerns uh with these stamina changes |
| 4193s | in regards to Sorcerers and Corruption |
| 4195s | right yeah I did see that like yeah Max |
| 4197s | corrupted Sorcerers will have a lot less |
| 4199s | stamina to work with and yeah you pretty |
| 4202s | much have to invest in grit if if you |
| 4204s | want to be using sorcery like that and |
| 4207s | uh |
| 4209s | still fighting in combat without your |
| 4211s | you know your followers doing it for you |
| 4212s | if you we still might make some changes |
| 4215s | here I'm not totally sure yet um I did |
| 4218s | play test several days uh recently |
| 4221s | playing a maxed out corruption build |
| 4223s | with the stamina changes and you have to |
| 4226s | select you know an appropriate weapon |
| 4228s | and probably use some stamina gear but |
| 4230s | if you if you max out your grit and uh |
| 4233s | and you wear clothing with stamina on it |
| 4235s | it's really not a problem and and I |
| 4238s | think that players even regardless of |
| 4240s | having corruption or not will find that |
| 4241s | to be the case uh so you know if you |
| 4245s | still feel like hey I don't have enough |
| 4246s | grit and I want more you can still match |
| 4248s | your grid out where where stamina gear |
| 4250s | and you'll have you know just as easy a |
| 4252s | time as now but that's you know that was |
| 4254s | a choice you made you chose |
| 4257s | you chose to wear that stamina gear |
| 4259s | because you wanted more stamina that's |
| 4260s | the way you developed your character |
| 4261s | people think you're a monster right now |
| 4264s | I'm just I just have yakity sacks |
| 4266s | playing on a Reiki right now just |
| 4267s | watching these wolves chase this poor |
| 4268s | Horse Around |
| 4270s | like sir you're a [ __ ] your horse your |
| 4273s | horse as an aside also I should say uh |
| 4275s | so like uh creatures like wolves and |
| 4278s | such like that uh across the board also |
| 4280s | are going to be much dead like they have |
| 4282s | lower Health across the board but deal |
| 4283s | more damage to you and so like a pack of |
| 4286s | wolves we're already not super easy to |
| 4288s | fight but uh when I was testing because |
| 4291s | these things out at this base uh I ran |
| 4293s | into that pack of wolves outside and |
| 4295s | immediately got slaughtered like |
| 4296s | instantly I was like oh [ __ ] well I can |
| 4298s | speak a little bit more to that too |
| 4299s | because that's also kind of in our plans |
| 4301s | uh you know going forward |
| 4304s | um we're working on some more systems |
| 4306s | that we think will come in the second |
| 4307s | chapter |
| 4308s | that will limit the number of enemies |
| 4311s | that attack you simultaneously |
| 4313s | um you know as we test and as we go |
| 4315s | through camps and and you know play with |
| 4317s | the game in a different way than we've |
| 4319s | played with it before we find that like |
| 4321s | fighting a stream of enemies is really |
| 4323s | the most fun so we're gonna try to have |
| 4326s | enemies basically manage themselves in a |
| 4328s | way that they they don't come at you |
| 4329s | necessarily one at a time but it might |
| 4331s | be two or three at a time at most well |
| 4333s | anyone else that would be engaging with |
| 4334s | you is kind of just background noise |
| 4336s | like taunting in the distance |
| 4339s | um and that actually might be a good |
| 4340s | segue to talk about camps as well yeah |
| 4342s | yeah yeah yeah |
| 4344s | um so we've done a pass on all of the |
| 4347s | camps and Exile lands and in sipta |
| 4351s | um and we've kind of changed the way |
| 4354s | enemy senses work |
| 4357s | basically |
| 4359s | actually hold on I'll give you guys the |
| 4361s | best example because this is this is the |
| 4363s | most uh pleasing version of it I was |
| 4365s | going to turn god mode on so you can |
| 4367s | oh yeah yeah the please please don't |
| 4369s | worry about the logo still saying age of |
| 4371s | sorcery this is still oh yeah |
| 4374s | most of it is so you'll see some of this |
| 4376s | menu stuff is uh new this is all stuff |
| 4379s | that we've been working on also um some |
| 4380s | of it's probably going to be replaced as |
| 4382s | well it was our our first pass yeah yeah |
| 4384s | so again yeah not everything shown here |
| 4386s | is not necessarily representative of |
| 4387s | like the final product oh yeah normal |
| 4389s | sky is back we'll talk more about that |
| 4391s | stuff when we do the quality of life |
| 4392s | stuff as well though but here's the cool |
| 4395s | thing |
| 4395s | so now whenever I run up to new azigarth |
| 4398s | I aggro these guys out front and that's |
| 4402s | it |
| 4403s | there's not going to be like 500 other |
| 4405s | guys coming from inside oh my God uh |
| 4408s | even this guy like look I'm this close |
| 4410s | right now and he doesn't even want to |
| 4411s | murder me so yeah we've kind of reduced |
| 4413s | the senses on us a lot of stuff and the |
| 4415s | Cry for Help on a lot of stuff |
| 4417s | so you don't just pull an entire huge |
| 4420s | place at once |
| 4422s | um for those that really enjoyed that |
| 4424s | you still can leave our Jenkins if you |
| 4426s | really want to but yeah for most folks |
| 4429s | uh yeah like the call for help like |
| 4431s | aggro radius on like allies or Allied |
| 4434s | enemies was pretty huge and it was |
| 4436s | really easy to just get way like it |
| 4439s | would be really fast yeah it would be |
| 4440s | sworn by this yeah the whole the whole |
| 4442s | yeah the whole village would be |
| 4443s | aggregate on you to die instantly so |
| 4445s | yeah like we we wanted to limit the |
| 4446s | number of people that you're fighting |
| 4447s | all at once because now combat is |
| 4449s | balanced around you know you fighting |
| 4450s | one or two people at most otherwise it |
| 4453s | becomes like |
| 4454s | it becomes pretty tough actually or that |
| 4456s | you that or you just have to disengage |
| 4457s | and run and hope that you can take them |
| 4458s | off on a one by one or you know however |
| 4460s | you want to do it yeah I mean to me it |
| 4463s | feels really good whenever you come in |
| 4465s | and clear one of these camps out it |
| 4467s | feels like you're making progress |
| 4468s | through the camp it doesn't feel like |
| 4469s | you're just getting chased by a ton of |
| 4471s | guys and we've updated leaching rules |
| 4472s | too so enemies won't chase you nearly as |
| 4474s | far as they used to in most cases |
| 4478s | um yeah there's there's there's a lot a |
| 4481s | lot going into the combat changes and |
| 4482s | that's why I say you know it's going to |
| 4484s | be hard for me to even remember |
| 4485s | everything off the cuff because there's |
| 4487s | so many little things here and there |
| 4488s | yeah and I see some people in chat also |
| 4490s | talking about like well what about you |
| 4491s | know how am I going to distribute your |
| 4493s | points uh I mean that's kind of up to |
| 4496s | you I mean I I think I think it's |
| 4497s | reasonable to uh say and expect that you |
| 4501s | know the the sort of like the meta to |
| 4502s | use that term will will change with with |
| 4504s | each chapter with each age like I think |
| 4507s | I think it's reasonable to expect that |
| 4508s | some Paradigm changes will come up and |
| 4510s | and we will ask you to uh like assess |
| 4513s | your strategy or your |
| 4517s | yeah yeah look you can't have both you |
| 4519s | can't complain about the meta being |
| 4520s | stale and complain when we change things |
| 4522s | yeah yeah that's the thing yeah I mean |
| 4524s | well I mean you know all you can always |
| 4526s | you can always let us know but you can |
| 4528s | complain I just it's just yeah that'd be |
| 4529s | 100 balance yeah that's the thing well I |
| 4531s | mean it's always valid sure stand up for |
| 4534s | you |
| 4536s | but yeah yeah so we have to pick and |
| 4538s | choose and so the the this is the |
| 4540s | direction that we want to go with and uh |
| 4542s | you know we look forward to the the |
| 4544s | discussion and the builds that end up |
| 4545s | coming up because ultimately it's about |
| 4546s | making it fun yeah like we're making the |
| 4549s | moment-to-moment gameplay yeah yeah like |
| 4551s | ultimately we want to rule of cool it so |
| 4552s | like if it's fun like that's the most |
| 4554s | important thing and obviously like fun |
| 4556s | is also a subjective thing so we want to |
| 4558s | hear what you guys say |
| 4560s | play games for fun no because you hate |
| 4562s | yourself no I mean I already hate myself |
| 4564s | but you know |
| 4566s | yeah that's why I play nothing to do |
| 4568s | with the game oh yeah yeah that's that's |
| 4569s | a that's a corollary that's totally fine |
| 4573s | Oh Nicole okay |
| 4576s | um |
| 4576s | so yeah that is sorry uh lost I had a |
| 4579s | little brain fart losing myself here |
| 4581s | really quick |
| 4583s | um let's see |
| 4585s | uh going over some of my notes do we |
| 4588s | have any other questions from chat |
| 4589s | really quick I like you Andy thanks |
| 4593s | thanks bud a little self-loving enough |
| 4595s | you know that's something I've been you |
| 4596s | know it's an ongoing process right like |
| 4598s | self-care and self-love are all very uh |
| 4600s | like nebulous and sometimes difficult to |
| 4602s | accomplish tasks especially if you have |
| 4604s | poor executive function like I do |
| 4606s | so shout outs to all my shout outs to |
| 4609s | all my depressed Gamers out there let's |
| 4611s | go let's go what's the dates at the end |
| 4615s | yeah yeah sorry so yeah we got uh just |
| 4617s | updated clarification on uh Gates |
| 4621s | um |
| 4622s | but yeah we'll talk about in just a sec |
| 4623s | there's a good question will you fix |
| 4625s | double jump Goomba builds Yes actually |
| 4628s | uh we have a change going into this |
| 4630s | update that'll come in chapter one that |
| 4633s | changes it from requiring one person |
| 4635s | standing on the head to two people |
| 4637s | standing on a head so you really have to |
| 4639s | coordinate to get the achievement now |
| 4640s | but it will stop people from unless |
| 4642s | unless it's like a teleporter squash |
| 4644s | which could still happen uh it's gonna |
| 4646s | be a lot harder to to Goomba people |
| 4650s | do you mind if I just like [ __ ] around |
| 4652s | you can do absolutely anything you want |
| 4654s | do you want to change the fight nah |
| 4656s | that's fine we don't have to do anything |
| 4657s | crazy like that I just want to show |
| 4659s | people how bad I am at this game |
| 4662s | just because also we're just standing |
| 4664s | here I just want to move around a little |
| 4665s | bit so while we're taking some questions |
| 4666s | I'm just gonna have some gameplay maybe |
| 4668s | I should just like build some blocks and |
| 4669s | jump over them and just have that be the |
| 4671s | entire stream |
| 4673s | um what about stamina |
| 4676s | pretty much unchanged climbing sprinting |
| 4679s | um the you know the jump we mentioned |
| 4681s | jump earlier Jump's not a ton expense a |
| 4683s | ton more expensive anyway like Andy if |
| 4685s | you do it right now I think it's like 10 |
| 4686s | stairs yeah it's eight uh yeah it's |
| 4689s | eight stamina right now but I think if I |
| 4691s | had double jump it increases well it's |
| 4694s | there was no charge for the second jump |
| 4695s | before oh that's right that's right so |
| 4697s | now the second John cost stamina as well |
| 4700s | so you might uh you might also see uh |
| 4703s | the build that I also have here is a Max |
| 4705s | agility build because uh I I found that |
| 4707s | with the changes the personal suggestion |
| 4709s | obviously we're not telling you how to |
| 4710s | play but I really like rolling thrust uh |
| 4713s | for for reasons you can probably imagine |
| 4715s | if you're not familiar with it after |
| 4716s | your role your next attack doesn't cost |
| 4718s | stamina and has increased armor |
| 4720s | penetration so it's super it's super fun |
| 4723s | I really like it so that's kind of what |
| 4724s | we mean by like you know the value of |
| 4727s | certain talents or the way you want to |
| 4728s | align your talents uh is going to be |
| 4730s | different on what we're hoping to yeah |
| 4732s | just shake things up a bit yeah |
| 4734s | will modders be able |
| 4738s | to be able to uh that was part of what I |
| 4740s | requested for people to be able to add |
| 4742s | emblems I'm not 100 sure if that is the |
| 4745s | case or not right now |
| 4747s | all right what was the question we'll be |
| 4749s | able to mod the clan feature so yeah so |
| 4751s | will models be able to claim our mod |
| 4752s | Clan features right right yeah um I I |
| 4755s | hope so I don't have 100 definite answer |
| 4757s | right now but I think it should be the |
| 4759s | case |
| 4760s | um with any new features that we add we |
| 4762s | try to make the mod accessible and that |
| 4764s | was one that right off the bat in the |
| 4766s | initial spec sheet I gave the team I was |
| 4768s | like I would like modders to be able to |
| 4770s | add their own so |
| 4772s | we'll we'll have to follow up on that |
| 4775s | make sure it happened |
| 4776s | will weapons be getting new move sets |
| 4780s | new move sets weapons we don't have I |
| 4782s | don't think there's any new move sets in |
| 4784s | this one in this update |
| 4786s | um a lot of the stuff that we're doing |
| 4788s | is with combat changes and especially |
| 4789s | with AI is also intended to let us kind |
| 4793s | of make a baseline for the combat to be |
| 4796s | designed with better interplay so we |
| 4798s | might see some changes come to specific |
| 4800s | attack animations or potentially new new |
| 4804s | animation sets for weapons |
| 4806s | depending on how well that attack or |
| 4809s | weapon is doing with the standard for AI |
| 4812s | they'll kind of dictate the way a player |
| 4814s | plays |
| 4816s | hmm oh actually while we're doing this |
| 4819s | really quickly |
| 4820s | um I think this is also a good time to |
| 4821s | just show off some of the new visuals |
| 4822s | and sets that we might be able to what |
| 4824s | we're adding to the game as well |
| 4827s | um because yeah we can show off some of |
| 4828s | the new battle pass stuff coming up |
| 4829s | because obviously like with the new age |
| 4831s | with the new chapters comes new battle |
| 4832s | pass new items in the bizarre we can |
| 4834s | still take questions while I show some |
| 4836s | of this stuff and also keep in mind work |
| 4837s | in progress yeah I don't know if we want |
| 4840s | to go ahead and announce the dates yeah |
| 4841s | the blog is out so okay cool yeah so uh |
| 4844s | just so uh you all know uh the |
| 4848s | public beta for Age of War is available |

| 4875s | forums.funcom.com head over there check |
| 4878s | things out |
| 4880s | um and then Age of War itself is set to |
| 4883s | launch June 22nd 2023. |
| 4891s | someone said fix the purge are broken in |
| 4894s | chat where you been dude |
| 4897s | that's that's a huge part of what we |
| 4899s | just revealed we're doing this marriage |
| 4903s | um so yeah the the first level reward is |
| 4904s | the steranian Bandit armor which is what |
| 4906s | we're wearing on our character right now |
| 4908s | um and a special plan emblem uh and so |
| 4912s | yeah we we're adding some Clan emblems |
| 4913s | and other things to the battle pass as |
| 4915s | well |
| 4916s | and of course uh new emotes uh new |
| 4920s | replaceables and building pieces yes |
| 4921s | that's actually a new feature as well |
| 4923s | um so weapon emotes that's right yeah |
| 4926s | we missed an entire feature but yeah |
| 4928s | um we're changing the emote system to |
| 4930s | work in a way that they can be |
| 4931s | contextualized so um if you have a sword |
| 4935s | in your hand you can do a sword emote uh |
| 4937s | so you know if you have the right emote |
| 4939s | and the right weapon |
| 4940s | um |
| 4942s | weapon emotes |
| 4944s | so let's see if I can do this is a nice |
| 4946s | two-handed sword let's see oops uh |
| 4950s | notes for mods on Collins at this time |
| 4952s | it's not on a roadmap right now |
| 4954s | um I I think the repeat the question |
| 4956s | sorry yeah sorry uh someone asked about |
| 4957s | mods on consoles it's not on our roadmap |
| 4960s | right now so it won't it definitely |
| 4961s | won't happen during the Age of War can't |
| 4963s | I |
| 4964s | um it's a thing that we all would love |
| 4966s | to do because we all recognize the value |
| 4968s | that mods brings Exiles |
| 4972s | but it's it's a big big big big task and |
| 4978s | I'm not sure when it'll happen but we |
| 4981s | would like it to |
| 4983s | and with this up |
| 4988s | features absolutely of course yeah |
| 4991s | all right just a second here I'm getting |
| 4993s | messages from folks |
| 4996s | we're still yeah still evaluating the |
| 4998s | possibilities but yeah because of the |
| 5000s | technical limitations in Ram and stuff |
| 5002s | like that it's just really tough yeah |
| 5003s | memory is the biggest problem yeah |
| 5004s | Exiles uses a lot of memory because it |
| 5007s | has a lot of high definition materials |
| 5008s | and textures and uh |
| 5012s | mods cost memory so yeah oops |
| 5019s | under |
| 5021s | yeah |
| 5023s | um I don't no there's not really a whole |
| 5025s | lot we can go into about that I think |
| 5026s | right now yeah yeah sorry |
| 5028s | wait where are they listed do I haven't |
| 5030s | learned I think the command that I was |
| 5032s | given is not correct uh |
| 5034s | sorry anyway we'll have any weapon |
| 5036s | emails so like uh the shield for example |
| 5037s | will have a shield bash animation if |
| 5039s | you're holding your your two-handed |
| 5041s | sword you put them in like a guardian |
| 5043s | stance like this like a sentinel |
| 5047s | um |
| 5048s | apologies for that we'll uh we'll |
| 5051s | definitely be able to show them off at a |
| 5052s | later time |
| 5057s | yeah that should be set to true I just |
| 5059s | don't uh I just don't think I've learned |
| 5061s | it and the command that I had for it is |
| 5064s | not working unfortunately |
| 5068s | excuse me but that's okay so yeah we'll |
| 5070s | have like uh we have uh weapon emails |
| 5073s | playing for other weapons as well like a |
| 5074s | spear training emote I think a couple |
| 5077s | other things as well that are |
| 5078s | be available there |
| 5081s | uh and yeah and so |
| 5085s | you'll notice that a lot of the things |
| 5086s | that we have are still like very uh |
| 5090s | let's see stygian themed because uh |
| 5094s | some you know Conan and hiborian age uh |
| 5098s | lore Masters may recall the stygians are |
| 5101s | a powerful force within the land and uh |
| 5104s | whale they see an opportunity |
| 5107s | and so we may see lots of them come by |
| 5109s | or |
| 5111s | that'll play into the second third |
| 5114s | chapters of this age and uh you know |
| 5117s | it's not really I mean at this point if |
| 5119s | you're not connecting the dots |
| 5121s | precision's are coming to the exiled |
| 5123s | lands you know and and more Force than |
| 5125s | they're currently there they're going to |
| 5127s | set up a fortress in the exiled lens and |
| 5130s | they're going to start to rake some cash |
| 5131s | into it |
| 5133s | and it's time they're going to build up |
| 5135s | so it's time to build up the fight back |
| 5136s | yep |
| 5139s | so yeah sorry about not being able to |
| 5141s | show the whipping emotes currently but |
| 5143s | yeah so yeah there's an example of the |
| 5145s | the a 2D image of what you can expect to |
| 5147s | look uh expected to look like so yeah |
| 5149s | we're excited to have this um and then |
| 5151s | later on you know we want to add more |
| 5153s | emotes including like potentially like |
| 5154s | paired emotes for example or like |
| 5157s | and fatalities fatality animation that |
| 5161s | might be part of chapter three yeah |
| 5162s | maybe those are those are the things |
| 5164s | that's on like our stretch goals for |
| 5166s | like uh age like I know fatalities are |
| 5168s | in in the in the plan okay yeah so when |
| 5171s | you kill guys it's not just gonna be the |
| 5173s | incredible crash dummy explosion of |
| 5176s | Limbs just body parts everywhere yeah |
| 5178s | there will be a chance for you to really |
| 5179s | you know dismember them |
| 5181s | yeah and of course like having having |
| 5183s | two character models like choreographed |
| 5186s | and play an animation together is |
| 5187s | actually kind of a more complicated of a |
| 5189s | technical achievement than you might |
| 5191s | imagine so the more work goes into it |
| 5193s | than you might think |
| 5195s | uh okay we'll give that a shot let's see |
| 5199s | here |
| 5200s | all right |
| 5204s | well so okay the the for those of you |
| 5206s | messaging us over slack uh when I have a |
| 5208s | weapon out and I hold the wheel thing |
| 5210s | down I just don't get any option for |
| 5211s | anything and I don't think I actually |
| 5212s | have the the emotes learned uh so that's |
| 5215s | okay it's okay we'll we'll show it off |
| 5216s | at another time the beta is only for yes |
| 5219s | so sorry yeah so the beta is only |
| 5220s | available for PC but of course the age |
| 5222s | of War update will be available on all |
| 5225s | platforms that come in excels is |
| 5226s | available on so like that would be on PC |
| 5228s | that would be on Xbox and uh Playstation |
| 5232s | um and again like the update itself will |
| 5234s | be free you don't have to pay for like |
| 5236s | the new features or anything like that |
| 5239s | so yeah the update will be available for |
| 5240s | all platforms |
| 5242s | don't you worry but yeah the the testing |
| 5244s | is only available on Steam through the |
| 5246s | through the public beta client |
| 5248s | uh quality yes quality of Lifestyle yes |
| 5251s | because I see people asking questions |
| 5253s | yeah we will talk about |
| 5255s | well let's talk about it |
| 5257s | yeah so we got through the target lock |
| 5258s | improvements yes part of what I didn't |
| 5259s | really talk about with the target lock |
| 5261s | improvements too is we're adjusting |
| 5262s | where the actual camera is and where |
| 5263s | your character appears on on screen as |
| 5265s | well so that should just feel a lot more |
| 5267s | nicer and natural as well |
| 5269s | we're actually locked onto a Target |
| 5275s | um |
| 5276s | so yeah the |
| 5278s | what what other quality of life stuff |
| 5280s | did we want to go over because I know |
| 5281s | some of the spells that we had like some |
| 5283s | of the sorcery spells are going to be |
| 5284s | updated to be like toggles for example |
| 5286s | so like find resources and whisp wall |
| 5288s | instead of being a duration-based uh |
| 5290s | buff effect it'll just you just turn it |
| 5292s | on and then you cast it again to turn it |
| 5294s | off so it just stays with you yeah uh |
| 5296s | indefinitely until yeah until you recast |
| 5298s | it we also think we fixed the thrall |
| 5300s | Decay timer |
| 5301s | mmm so whenever you log into a server it |
| 5304s | won't just be a bunch of floating |
| 5305s | thralls in the world that should |
| 5306s | actually disappear when they're supposed |
| 5307s | to |
| 5309s | it's good quality yeah and then uh |
| 5312s | updates to Darkness yeah that one's |
| 5315s | super fun and we didn't kind of actually |
| 5316s | show that one too if you want to swap |
| 5318s | over to Game Mode real quick oh yeah |
| 5320s | because it is the middle of the night |
| 5321s | yeah |
| 5323s | there's a weird sound thing I noticed |
| 5325s | yeah yeah sorry about that thank you for |
| 5327s | letting me know |
| 5328s | um so you know we don't have the the |
| 5331s | blood moon eclipse anymore uh metamosis |
| 5333s | and and uh |
| 5336s | are no longer warring in the exiled |
| 5339s | lands the way they were so everything's |
| 5340s | kind of back to normal but you might |
| 5342s | notice you can actually see a little |
| 5343s | more as well right now is the dead of |
| 5346s | night you know about 30 feet or so in |
| 5349s | front of my character you can see it's |
| 5350s | just completely black Shadows but but as |
| 5353s | I go up to them you can see so you know |
| 5355s | we've adjusted the way lighting works |
| 5357s | and and added a little system in to let |
| 5359s | you be able to see more in your |
| 5361s | immediate proximity at night so you're |
| 5362s | never going to be stuck in in the |
| 5364s | absolute dead of night again you'll |
| 5366s | always be able to see a small area |
| 5368s | around yourself but obviously like this |
| 5369s | is still super dark but like it's not |
| 5376s | without the eclipse has been pretty a |
| 5378s | pretty brutal Affair in my experience so |
| 5380s | yeah having having a little bit of like |
| 5381s | a minimum light radius around you so you |
| 5383s | can just see in front of you uh is |
| 5385s | really nice and then of course like you |
| 5386s | know torches are still available yeah |
| 5388s | the torch is still better yeah yeah |
| 5393s | oh let's see uh of course yeah the new |
| 5396s | diving animation we saw a little bit of |
| 5398s | that we can uh you can Scrooge McDuck if |
| 5400s | you really want to uh and then uh of |
| 5404s | course like it works better if you're |
| 5405s | high diving off of it or I guess you can |
| 5407s | slow fall and just like perpetually just |
| 5409s | stir you in the animation forever |
| 5411s | uh another like other fixes and quality |
| 5414s | of life things like uh chicken dance |
| 5416s | actually counting for challenges |
| 5419s | um |
| 5420s | leaving and entering dungeons won't make |
| 5422s | uh |
| 5423s | we'll now make grass behave correctly |
| 5427s | uh and then a few a few updated uh drop |
| 5431s | equipment on death server options as |
| 5433s | well Bonk |
| 5435s | oh nice |
| 5438s | creative mode I tried to turn it off |
| 5441s | before it hit the bossy just explode |
| 5442s | hell yeah |
| 5443s | very good |
| 5447s | so uh actually we can take a few more |
| 5449s | questions from chat and then uh I think |
| 5452s | then we must bid idea because we must |
| 5455s | get onto things |
| 5457s | lots of people asking about yo new math |
| 5460s | stuff at all or no new mess right now |
| 5463s | yeah people asking about new maps we're |
| 5465s | not doing a new map right now uh age of |
| 5467s | Amazon was in fact a joke |
| 5470s | that I would leave an entire |
| 5472s | presentation up on both screens that |
| 5474s | shows what the next age would be and I |
| 5476s | would certainly not write my |
| 5477s | presentation in Papyrus |
| 5480s | the classic font but yeah I mean stay |
| 5484s | tuned uh you know new Dungeons and new |
| 5486s | and new maps are things that we we can |
| 5488s | and and may do in the future so uh if |
| 5491s | age of War doesn't tickle your fancy you |
| 5493s | know keep an eye out yeah yeah uh |
| 5495s | because they'll be sure you'll be |
| 5496s | excited about what comes after that yeah |
| 5497s | because they'll they'll be new ages |
| 5499s | after age of four also so because we |
| 5501s | were committed now to like again |
| 5502s | advancing the actually advancing the |
| 5504s | tale of the exiled lines and like |
| 5506s | changing things as we move forward so |
| 5507s | yeah there'll be some small changes on |
| 5509s | the exod lands uh when Age of War |
| 5511s | launches as well obviously apart from uh |
| 5514s | the eclipse not being there and then |
| 5516s | we're making some maybe some other |
| 5518s | little things here in there as well oh |
| 5520s | and then yeah uh new armor sets coming |
| 5522s | with the uh with the update as well I |
| 5525s | believe this is a bizarre item but uh |
| 5528s | this is like a stygian soldier outfit |
| 5530s | um some some of you who have been |
| 5532s | playing uh like Conan games for a while |
| 5534s | May recognize this uh as the armor that |
| 5539s | was shown in some of the old Age Of |
| 5540s | Conan keyart |
| 5542s | and we're happy to finally have it uh |
| 5544s | realized in the glory of unreal here |
| 5547s | someone asked if the karak dungeon would |
| 5549s | go away yeah that'll still be there |
| 5552s | um it is it's the same as before you |
| 5554s | enter the same way and everything there |
| 5555s | just might be a little bit of a mess |
| 5559s | uh those were temporary content the all |
| 5561s | of the Katan Exiles uh save for a few |
| 5564s | that you might find straggling in the |
| 5565s | exiled Lanes will be gone yeah they're |
| 5568s | kind of in this like with with well yeah |
| 5570s | they'll they'll be kind of scattered |
| 5571s | around here there I won't say anything |
| 5572s | yeah any PVP news kind of uh one of the |
| 5576s | things we will be doing probably in |
| 5577s | chapter two I think is revamping |
| 5579s | trebuchets as well |
| 5582s | um so the way that you Siege people or |
| 5584s | or you know attack other other players |
| 5585s | might change a bit |
| 5588s | um |
| 5589s | there is that |
| 5590s | toying with some other more extreme |
| 5592s | stuff but I'm not sure if it will make |
| 5593s | it into production or not so I'm not |
| 5594s | gonna tease anyone with it yeah yeah is |
| 5597s | the beacon for Mecca Moses area going to |
| 5599s | be the same no no the beacon is gone |
| 5601s | that was a result of the ritual he was |
| 5603s | conducting and if you show up there you |
| 5605s | might see why it's not there yeah there |
| 5607s | might be some there might something |
| 5608s | might have happened so yeah battering |
| 5610s | rams uh yeah there should be a battering |
| 5612s | ram in chapter two |
| 5613s | um like a handheld one we wanted to do a |
| 5616s | full-on like hey I pushed cart version |
| 5618s | of it but I think we just simply don't |
| 5619s | have time uh to put that together so |
| 5622s | we'll do one that you know you can break |
| 5624s | down Doors by hand |
| 5626s | um |
| 5626s | we'll probably also consider trying to |
| 5629s | do like carry animation like um like |
| 5631s | that same carry animation for the chess |
| 5633s | like putting an explosive jar and |
| 5635s | enemy's hands so if they're part of The |
| 5636s | Purge wave you know they come at you and |
| 5638s | you can shoot the shoot the barrel the |
| 5640s | jar from far away and blow them all up |
| 5644s | scrub brush excellent sick was the |
| 5647s | princess saved all right find out claim |
| 5649s | find out yeah I mean you can check |
| 5651s | tomorrow yeah right you'll be able to |
| 5653s | see for yourself when this goes live |

| 5678s | everybody yet there are no oh yeah now |
| 5680s | for an official server wipe no sir no |
| 5682s | yeah we'll pretty much never wipe |
| 5684s | servers unless we really really really |
| 5686s | really have to |
| 5688s | um taking away people's progress in the |
| 5690s | game is the number one fastest way to |
| 5692s | make them stop playing the game so we'll |
| 5694s | do everything in our power to prevent |
| 5695s | that from happening yeah |
| 5697s | this is a veneer Shaman armor set that |
| 5701s | will also be uh I can't remember if |
| 5703s | that's a battle pass or bizarre item but |
| 5705s | that will be a vanity set available with |
| 5707s | the update as well |
| 5709s | hmm |
| 5711s | mounts there will be a new Mount coming |
| 5712s | but I'm not going to say what it is yet |
| 5715s | some of you probably have probably have |
| 5717s | corrected people have mentioned it in |
| 5719s | chat already yeah but we're not going to |
| 5720s | confirm what it is oops |
| 5722s | it's my it's my finally Gundams |
| 5728s | so you can hear Frederick malmberg just |
| 5729s | like teleporting behind me and I was |
| 5730s | like no |
| 5731s | don't |
| 5735s | you know we could we could sit here and |
| 5736s | talk and and show off all this stuff |
| 5738s | like pretty much all day but we uh we do |
| 5740s | have to uh get going uh shortly so I |
| 5744s | know there's a ton of questions in chat |
| 5745s | I know other tons of folks will have |
| 5747s | more questions as they come up |
| 5748s | especially when uh the testing period |
| 5751s | goes live |
| 5753s | um but uh please stay tuned for tomorrow |
| 5757s | when the age of War up uh Chapter One |
| 5760s | update uh becomes available for beta |
| 5762s | testing |
| 5764s | um and we'll keep you updated on like |
| 5765s | any changes or anything that comes up |
| 5766s | during that test uh and and look forward |
| 5769s | to to a new age Dawning over the exot |
| 5772s | lands on June 22nd yeah public beta |
| 5775s | tomorrow and so again |
| 5778s | um I think if you type I think beta |
| 5781s | explanation point beta in chat I think |
| 5783s | nightbot should have a thing that has a |
| 5784s | link to the public test Forum so go |
| 5786s | ahead and bookmark that in preparation |
| 5788s | for tomorrow |
| 5789s | um we'll put a little blast out on |
| 5791s | social media announcing when it's live |
| 5792s | and you guys can take a first look and |
| 5794s | take the first steps into the next Age |
| 5796s | Of Conan exiles |
| 5798s | oh |
| 5800s | so I think that actually about wraps it |
| 5804s | up |
| 5805s | um any last housekeeping things I'm |
| 5807s | going to look over here |
| 5810s | um let's see uh also keep an eye out for |
| 5815s | uh oh yeah so yeah sorry so the we have |
| 5819s | a question from uh internally on slack |
| 5821s | about some of the ql stuff |
| 5824s | um one of the one of the changes that |
| 5825s | we're updating is that the drop |
| 5826s | equipment on death or different drop |
| 5828s | equipment on death options uh to go into |
| 5831s | them specifically there are Now options |
| 5833s | for lose nothing on death |
| 5834s | uh setting zero uh lose everything on |
| 5837s | death uh which is one by default or lose |
| 5841s | just backpack inventory on death so you |
| 5844s | know so you don't just get completely |
| 5845s | wiped on death so you just you just drop |
| 5848s | like you keep what's on your hot bar and |
| 5849s | your armor I think and yeah actual |
| 5851s | backpack gets dumped yeah so that that |
| 5853s | whole play allows for like extra |
| 5855s | granularity for like server admins or |
| 5856s | private server admins to make it uh just |
| 5859s | like a good middle ground between All or |
| 5860s | Nothing |
| 5861s | so hopefully that uh helps kind of |
| 5864s | enable |
| 5865s | um like still like some consequences for |
| 5867s | dying for example on your private |
| 5868s | service but like yeah again not not All |
| 5870s | or Nothing |
| 5872s | thanks for bringing that up appreciate |
| 5873s | it |
| 5875s | um oh and then uh yeah so other |
| 5877s | housekeeping things again so um yeah so |
| 5879s | disconnect issues will be resolved or |
| 5880s | you know we have a plan a fixed planned |
| 5883s | um in the age of War update |
| 5886s | um uh twitch drops so yeah we had uh we |
| 5889s | did have an issue with the um rock nose |
| 5891s | figurine twitch drop which is supposed |
| 5893s | to be the third twitch drop campaign |
| 5895s | that we're running uh there was an issue |
| 5897s | with the actual like placeable item in |
| 5899s | game so we did postpone the |
| 5901s | um that campaign for that specific item |
| 5903s | I don't have details off the cuff on |
| 5907s | if and or when that will be run again |
| 5910s | um but we will have you know we'll have |
| 5912s | other campaigns uh in the future as well |
| 5915s | so again just like keep an eye out on |
| 5917s | our social media and I think you might |
| 5921s | be even be able to see on like upcoming |
| 5923s | campaigns on like a twitch website I |
| 5924s | can't remember exactly where you find |
| 5925s | that but we'll have that and yeah we're |
| 5927s | sorry for anyone that like was confused |
| 5929s | by the roughness figurine or any |
| 5930s | streamers that um you know we're hoping |
| 5932s | to be able to to help you know use that |
| 5935s | to help grow their stream a little bit |
| 5936s | so yeah we do apologize for that and |
| 5938s | speaking of streamers and content |
| 5939s | creators of course also we want to give |
| 5941s | a very special thank you uh to whack |
| 5943s | Jordy Kaya on fire and SEMA uh for |

| 5961s | within our community we're really |
| 5962s | grateful to have them and have uh so |
| 5963s | many other folks uh just like really |

| 5978s | so fun to watch everyone speculate about |
| 5980s | what oh my God yeah yeah well when when |
| 5983s | uh when Kaya's uh teaser came out and |
| 5985s | the thumbnail turned into age of the |
| 5987s | Amazon I was like |
| 5989s | I posted the preview up on our forums I |
| 5991s | was like what is this thumbnail guy |
| 5995s | I was like oh no |
| 5998s | um and then also |
| 6000s | um for those who are looking on our |
| 6001s | forms as well uh stay tuned also for uh |
| 6004s | winners for our Mystic masterpieces art |
| 6007s | contest which we ran and uh we finished |
| 6009s | up we're still reviewing our entries and |
| 6011s | casting our final votes and we'll have |
| 6013s | uh final announcements uh by the end of |
| 6016s | May and then previously when we were |
| 6017s | announcing the contest we were like |
| 6019s | you'll get the next next chapters |
| 6020s | content or battle pass this is before we |
| 6023s | announce the age of wars and now we can |
| 6024s | just say you're gonna get the age of War |
| 6025s | chapter one battle pass |
| 6027s | um if you won so there's that I think |
| 6031s | that's about it |
| 6033s | I think that's it hell yeah once you get |
| 6036s | a patch notes there's so much stuff oh |
| 6038s | my God yeah and and a lot of it at first |
| 6040s | glance will probably seem scary too but |
| 6042s | I think once you get your hands on it |
| 6044s | and you actually get in game and play it |
| 6045s | it's all really yeah yeah like just like |
| 6048s | we explained yeah yeah just like we had |
| 6050s | gone over on on string here like yeah we |
| 6052s | know like a lot of those damn changes |
| 6053s | and the durability changes like sound |
| 6055s | really scary on paper but we're you know |
| 6058s | we're confident and hopeful that that |
| 6060s | you'll find it uh uh a not scary and |
| 6064s | actually in fact be ideally fun uh when |
| 6066s | you do actually get your hands on it but |
| 6068s | again please let us know |
| 6071s | any final thoughts friend |
