327s hello Exiles testing
331s taking a check taking out chat
334s hello everybody ah yes
338s hello everyone
342s and welcome
345s to the exciting preview
348s of chapter three my name is Andy Bender
350s Community manager with Conan Exiles I'm
352s joined here by Dennis Dothan the lead
355s designer for Conan Exiles and we're also
357s joining the move in the back with Nicole
360s hi
362s um so yeah thank you for tuning in for
364s uh today's exciting stream uh we're
366s going to be going over
369s what's coming up next
371s uh in the age of sorcery sorry I'm a
373s little uh getting my nerves out I
375s haven't done this in a little while so
376s I'm still trying to get this out
379s um but yeah we have an exciting uh thing
381s for you today we're going to be uh
383s showing off tons of new features uh
384s taking your questions and going on a
387s journey together yeah we're even gonna
389s be we're even gonna be not showing some
391s stuff indeed so like there are things
393s that will be in this update that you
394s won't even get to see until you you know
395s you get there firsthand probably one of
397s the coolest parts
403s all right so
405s um let's see so to recap
407s um the first two chapters of age of
409s sorcery have uh chronicled the
411s adventures of you the Exile uh as you uh
415s delve into the secrets of this
417s mysterious form of wild sorcery that's
418s appeared throughout the exiled lens and
421s forged sort of this like uneasy weird
423s alliance with the uh sorcerer Mecha
426s Moses to work towards the source of this
430s uh strange form of sorcery and go from
432s there and then in chapter three you'll
434s see a uh a little culmination of all
436s that but before we get to that
439s what would you like to show first do you
441s think
442s hmm well I suppose we should do the
446s update that no one's expecting and talk
449s about the journey system update
451s Journey system update Journey system
453s update Journey system update
455s it is about time indeed
457s so um let's see let me make sure
460s the what the what the what yes the
463s journey system update is pretty huge uh
467s you know we didn't show her hand on it
468s at all so I know that a lot of people
470s are going to be surprised by this one
472s but
473s we know there's like a wealth of content
475s in Exiles there's so much stuff to do
477s and see and it's really hard to figure
479s out what you should do and one of the
481s things that we do when we're designing
483s Exiles is try not to force players to do
485s things or tell them things they don't
486s already know but with the journey system
488s update we're going to give you guys ways
490s to essentially teach yourself to play
492s and find the things that are in the game
494s so I guess without further Ado let's go
496s to the journey system yes indeed
499s we're gonna swap over here
501s all right so I've created a new
503s character on Septa obviously the journey
504s system will be updated for each map
507s and if you look up in the top right
508s corner of the screen you'll see that
511s there's a new UI for the journey system
514s it's a fancier version of what we had
517s there before it has a goal for you to do
519s and some instructions as well and also
523s uh but just before we get into
524s everything there's going to be you know
526s the the standard disclaimer this is an
528s internal development build
530s um while we are still close to release
531s there are some things that always get
533s fixed up in the last couple weeks of
534s development so you might see some things
537s that are a little different or a little
538s off but generally it'll be about the
540s same
542s um
543s so uh right here in the beginning you
545s know the first thing it'll tell you to
547s do is take your first steps so we'll
548s learn how to move by pressing the keys
550s and you'll see that there's an update
552s same as the old Journey system and
554s another thing you'll see is that you can
556s open the menu
557s to
559s see what those steps are as shown by the
561s J up in the corner when you're on a
563s Gamepad or playing on a console you'll
564s have different shortcuts shown for what
566s you can do and it'll bring up this new
568s window and
571s the way that we approached the journeys
574s is essentially the way we approach
576s knowledge as well where everything that
578s you want to learn is meant to be dressed
581s as a sort of profession it's a thing
582s that you you can learn the aptitude for
585s in the world and it's the same for the
587s journey so you can see we have Journeys
589s like War here Archer Tanner and if you
592s go down deeper and deeper you get into
594s things like Source or Raider uh you know
597s dismantling using a dismantling bench it
599s touches a lot of the game and we took
602s what was there and we tried to use as
604s much as we could but we had to wind up
606s making a lot of new things to make the
608s journey actually possible
610s um so I'll dig a little deeper into this
612s UI as well everyone always starts out
615s with this first one the and on the
617s exiled lens it's like Exile land
620s Survivor on the island it's island
621s Survivor
623s and you can see there's a lot of
624s information here as well some little
626s text about what you'll be learning in
628s that Journey what kind of reward you'll
630s get for finishing it and then we've got
632s the actual list of steps and each of
634s those steps have details as well so you
637s know we hope that we've worded these in
638s such a way that you learn why you're
640s doing what you're doing and help learn
643s other things that you maybe can
645s experiment with based on what you've
646s learned before
648s the initial Journeys are extremely
650s detailed and
652s they will tell you like what buttons to
654s press to do things and as you get
656s further and further into the game they
657s hold your hand less because we expect
658s you've learned some things early on
662s um
662s another thing you'll see is on this
664s first one we didn't want veteran players
667s to have to commit to doing the tutorial
669s every time and the first journey is
672s really a tutorial so if you're a new if
675s you're a veteran player you can come
677s down and actually hit the button to skip
678s the first one the camera's overlapping
680s the button to skip it but underneath
681s Dennis and I there's a button hold on
683s let me see if I can yeah there's
685s literally a button to skip the journey
687s so it's only available on the first one
689s and I'll go through a couple steps and
692s then come back to this menu first but
694s you'll see it's really similar to what
696s what you would experience in normal
698s gameplay and we just want to teach you
700s how to do things like how to pick up
701s things and search bodies and chests and
704s containers yeah you know so this one's
705s asking you to look for some things and
708s interact with them and then it'll
709s Advance just like uh
711s you would expect the journey to advance
713s all the journeys are all now completed
716s in linear order as well so you won't
720s have some steps solving before other
722s steps and you might not accidentally
723s solve a step you'll very specifically
725s have to come into the menu and say you
728s know I I would like to do this journey I
730s would like to learn to do this thing so
732s you won't be doing the island Survivor
734s journey and then get stuff way down in
736s like farmer or or sorcerer solving
739s because you know you've picked up some
741s resources
742s um so yeah just seeing that you know um
745s you get some some stuff in your
747s inventory that'll help you along some of
748s the journeys like if I need to eat and
750s drink there's always more information
752s there
753s and that'll teach you how to survive in
754s the game and the base systems that you
756s need
757s um to literally learn survival eating
759s drinking primarily making a spawn point
763s crafting from your inventory but if
765s you've done that a million times and you
766s want to skip it click the button It'll
768s ask you if you're sure you want to skip
769s it you won't get the reward if you skip
771s it so you can't use it to just Farm the
773s the caches
774s and then some more stuff will unlock and
776s if you complete Journeys naturally
778s you'll get these notifications as well
779s where new Journeys uh or one Journey has
782s completed and a new one unlocks there
784s are also prerequisites to Journeys so
786s the Warrior One requires that we unlock
788s the knowledge part of the first tutorial
791s is learning how to unlock knowledge so
792s you should know how to do that and
794s that's a good example of how we teach
795s you something and expect you to carry
797s that knowledge over into a later
799s Journeys
801s so then there's one for building shelter
804s um you know when you finish that one
805s it'll allow you to go on to a later
808s level of building as well so
811s um a better example I guess is Mason we
814s also have these Journeys teared out so
816s you get the Mason one and then once you
819s complete Mason it'll have some new
821s prerequisites but another thing it'll do
822s is unlock Mason too and then you can
824s learn to build tier two buildings and so
826s on for tier three and those are hidden
829s so you can't see them here right now
830s there's more Journeys than you can
832s actually see because we are able to just
834s hide ones that you don't meet the bog
837s standard requirements for
839s good question yeah
842s Audible
843s I have to see how much effort we put
846s into making it modable
848s um for those of you who know Rob
850s uh he is the person that worked on this
853s most and he is a big mod supporter and
858s modder himself as well
859s so I believe there will be mod
861s capability here but I can't give the
864s absolute definite uh answer right now I
866s also saw a question in Chad asking uh
868s what will be different Journeys for the
870s two maps and the uh like the tutorial
872s Journey will be different uh between
874s sipta and the exod lands so the the
877s SEPTA one of course will say island
878s Survivor as you as you've seen uh and if
881s you uh when you're creating a new
883s character in the exot lands you'll
884s you'll have an Amazon land specific like
886s initial uh introductory Journey uh
889s that's a little bit different from the
890s like current version yeah live right now
893s there are these ones as well
895s um you know yeah we can't ask you to
897s discover a lot of different points in a
898s map that you're not on so where is
900s appropriate we make ones that are
902s specific for a specific map yeah but
904s generally speaking Yeah the all these
906s various like paths that you can take
908s which whichever like whatever goals you
909s want to set for yourself
912s um it's shared between like the two maps
913s with only just some exceptions hope that
915s answers the question yeah it's similar
917s to the old Journey system as well where
918s we had some that were just on Septa well
920s there's really just one but yeah and so
922s and I saw someone asking on YouTube also
923s like no you will not need to buy to like
925s have access to this either this is
927s you're just seeing island Survivor
928s because we just started on Isla SEPTA uh
930s because my seed game on the edge of that
932s land says other stuff that we wanted to
933s show yeah it does and we didn't want to
935s reroll the character on eggnog I don't
936s know if you'd like to take any other if
938s you have any questions yourself about
939s the system or if you want to answer
940s anything else from chat or if we should
942s though yeah I'm just looking over chat
943s right now yeah like so like you know
945s um this is something that we've wanted
946s to do for a really long time on you know
950s in addition to offering some additional
952s assistance for like new players to like
954s kind of get situated into the into the
956s game uh you know we wanted to also add
958s various other things for more seasoned
960s uh players to still kind of
964s again like setting your own goals and
965s like figuring out like which things you
966s want to like prioritize on or like do
968s things for him because we offer rewards
971s now for completing the various Journey
972s steps uh we we feel confident that like
976s even even the most like grizzled of
978s exiled lands veterans will get something
980s out of this new system
982s there's two questions real quick that I
983s asked if that's okay yeah that's fine
986s yeah yeah
988s um for the rewards is that one time only
990s or every time you make a new save do you
992s mean character just in case people
994s couldn't hear in the background so it's
996s um will the rewards from the journey
998s system be per character or like once per
1000s account you said it's per character
1001s right yeah each time you create a
1003s character you have the opportunity to
1004s get them
1005s um and I can kind of skim through and
1006s you can see you know there are some
1008s interesting rewards on here uh we did
1010s you know some some kind of asset
1013s variations like some reskins like you
1015s would typically expect from the shop
1017s right there's no there's no kind of real
1019s power or anything in the rewards that
1020s you get but they're things that might
1022s look cool or or help you a little bit
1023s along the way yeah and it's still like a
1024s unique reward that you get out of the
1026s journey system and like yeah you know we
1027s wanted to also make the rewards
1029s meaningful so like some you know and
1031s some of the ones you'll see like oh you
1032s get a supply material or like some
1033s exotic meat but then like
1035s you see you know you saw like later uh
1038s down there like you get epic items for
1040s example so
1041s people are begging to drink something
1043s the character's dying of thirst
1052s it's over again
1054s so the uh the question is if uh if
1056s you're already max level or not you just
1058s max level but just like if you've done
1059s some of the journeys okay so are the are
1062s the various Journey steps like
1063s retroactive or do you once it goes like
1065s do you have to complete everything from
1066s the start
1067s uh any Journey progress you have in the
1069s game right now is just going to be gone
1070s whenever the update comes out and you'll
1073s start fresh with the whole new system
1075s um and that's for a couple reasons and
1076s one of the biggest ones is just so you
1078s don't miss anything like we don't rob
1079s you of any rewards or experiences or
1082s learning that you might not already have
1084s um you know the context of the old
1085s Journey system is much different than
1087s the new Journey system so in many cases
1089s we wouldn't even really be able to map
1090s progress one to one from one to the
1092s other but another cool thing about this
1095s system is some things will be
1097s retroactively awarded so there are some
1099s steps in the journey system that you may
1102s complete
1103s um
1105s I can give a really easy example in the
1108s exiled lands we ask you to leave the
1111s starting desert at a certain point now
1113s if you leave the starting desert before
1115s you get to that point in the journey and
1117s you go about doing the other steps that
1119s goal to leave the journey will solve
1121s retroactively so there are some things
1123s in the in the journey we can detect
1124s you've done and just not ask you to do
1126s them because we know you already know
1127s how to do it it's in pretty specific
1130s cases for the most part you're going to
1131s be asked to follow the steps
1136s excellent
1138s sorry I'm just looking over some chant
1140s stuff right now a lot of folks are
1141s saying yeah this looks really cool glad
1143s that uh there'll be something for even
1145s like veteran players to get other people
1147s just saying hello
1150s um let's see
1153s is the mummy of the Ring still in the
1154s journey steps
1157s I don't think you'll see that at all
1159s um
1160s we chose not to include
1164s um kind of narrative oriented stuff to
1166s start with another cool thing about the
1169s system is that we made it to be really
1170s expandable so whenever we do new
1172s chapters new updates things that'll
1174s stick around in the game will probably
1175s also get a journey that comes along with
1177s them
1178s um
1180s yeah
1182s that's it's not content we'll have
1184s implemented and you'll see as we talk
1185s more about this chapter but uh
1188s that is still a sort of dangling thread
1191s for us
1194s will admins be able to spawn in the
1196s special items from it yeah they'll be in
1198s the admin panel just like anything else
1199s so if there's a reward in there you want
1201s you don't have to do the journey you can
1202s just spawn it as an admin
1205s and you guys will learn you know what
1207s kind of rewards come from what Journeys
1213s there's all kinds of stuff in here
1214s though I mean there's there's even like
1216s armor sets and you know there's armor
1218s sets weapons different consumables uh if
1221s the game has it the journey system
1223s pretty much has it as well you know are
1224s these recipes or is it actual just like
1226s gear uh I'm gonna I have to double check
1229s uh knowing that Rob worked on it there's
1231s probably a recipe that goes along but I
1233s can't remember off the top of my head
1235s um okay but it would be
1238s if there's not recipes already we'll get
1240s them in eventually
1243s now we're a bit past the translation
1245s deadline to add any additional items so
1247s oh right yeah because this is like
1250s on the doorstep it's gonna be soon soon
1253s but you climb it'll go into your
1255s inventory
1257s yeah right into your inventory yeah
1259s it'll just go straight to your inventory
1262s cool okay
1263s and then yeah like we'll open we'll open
1265s some time up uh towards the end of the
1267s stream also to recap a couple things if
1268s you have any other questions about
1269s anything we covered here uh we'll we'll
1271s answer what we can
1273s um
1275s so yes very good very good
1280s um so apart from the joining system
1284s and then this is of course just like a
1286s blanket update that's available that's
1287s coming up with the next update that's
1290s available for everyone you don't have to
1291s like do anything or get anything special
1292s yeah just for everyone yeah whenever we
1295s get into the stuff that uh is like
1299s um you know battle pass and bizarre
1301s oriented we'll probably give a
1303s disclaimer sure right but security
1305s systems for everyone yep join the system
1307s goes out forever yeah for yeah for free
1309s it's just whatever it's just part of the
1311s base game now
1313s um kind of on that note of course with
1315s chapter three we'll come with uh new
1317s story steps uh new battle pass items uh
1321s new bizarre items of course uh we can
1323s show some of the some of those lovely
1325s things off but first let's talk about uh
1328s more gameplay things that are being
1329s added with the update
1331s so
1332s uh
1334s chapter three is focused around the uh
1337s kind of like the culmination of
1339s mechanosis's work uh working to like
1341s like sniff out the secrets and delve
1343s into just like what's going on with this
1345s just what's going on in the exiled lands
1347s where the sorcery is coming from where
1349s the source of its power is coming from
1350s uh and I think we will have some of
1352s those answers with this update we're not
1355s going to shut everything off today
1357s obviously too you'll just have to see
1358s for yourself well I'm gonna certainly
1359s show some stuff we're gonna show some
1360s stuff off for sure
1363s um so first do you want to show off
1367s you want to take a look over and visit
1369s our good friend at Mecca Moses and see
1371s his new uh
1373s revamped crib absolutely yeah would you
1375s like to hide while I switch Maps I would
1377s love to
1379s my stain gone okay good
1389s Hey listen okay I got I will say I just
1394s got uh I finally have been
1396s um I've been showing the light of uh
1398s spinner Rings like fidget Rings because
1401s some some of you who know me or may have
1403s seen me on camera I know that I have a
1404s tendency to like pick up my mustache or
1406s play with it when I'm like deep in
1407s thought you know
1409s so I got
1410s um I got one of these things now I can
1412s kind of I can play with my fingers and
1414s stim without having to play with my
1416s mustache and mess my face up
1419s um so yeah so uh what we're doing right
1421s now we're loading up into the exot lands
1423s and heading over to Mecca Moses Aspire
1425s which has uh received
1427s um
1428s some uh
1430s some enhancements some some changes to
1433s its appearance
1435s oh nice I'm gonna switch back over here
1438s all right and welcome
1440s to the spire
1443s um so there's gonna be some stuff coming
1444s in this update that
1447s will change the way some things are
1449s presented
1450s um one of the first things you'll see is
1451s there's this really big beam in the sky
1455s um we have removed some other beams from
1458s the game that you might see as you know
1460s decorative skylights of sorts um to make
1463s it so that when we have events like this
1464s it really stands out that there's
1466s something happening that draws your
1467s attention it's like hey come over here
1469s there's something interesting here yeah
1470s exactly so you can you can see this from
1473s from really far back even in the
1475s starting desert you'll see it on the
1476s horizon
1477s um and you know it's kind of ushering
1479s you forward to find out how and where
1482s the story is isn't unfolding so for
1485s anyone who hasn't seen metcumos Aspire
1487s before usually looks much different than
1489s this
1490s you can see there's a lot of defenses a
1493s lot of the Katan Exiles are here one of
1496s the first things you might notice is
1498s that this guy's dressed up
1500s so we wanted to have these guys in
1502s uniform from the beginning
1504s we had a technical hurdle
1506s that prevented us from putting
1509s battle pass and bizarre items on on NPCs
1514s essentially so we're over that now
1517s and if we continue up to the top of the
1519s Spire you'll find our new buddy Matt
1522s komosis
1524s is
1525s Diggs and he's also found a new friend
1528s that he has tied up
1530s to his lovely altar
1534s which is what the giant beam is coming
1536s from
1537s um so you guys uh will also be able to
1540s explore some new dialogue with metamosis
1543s I don't think there's any reason we
1545s really need to hop into his dialogue
1547s right now we can save it as a surprise
1551s um but met kimosos will pretty much tell
1553s you that there's these fancy new rocks
1556s that you can go find
1557s and if you bring them back to him
1560s similar to head hunting in chapter two
1562s you'll get a nice reward for doing that
1566s um he'll also ask for something else
1569s and before I tell you what that is we'll
1572s go back to the red stones themselves
1575s so the redstones are called blood
1578s crystals
1580s and blood crystals
1582s are essentially a
1587s hardened
1589s it is the the blood of the giant Kings
1592s that's soaked into the ground hardened
1595s and resurfaced
1596s the giant kings are
1599s extremely powerful sorcerers
1602s and their blood has essentially returned
1605s to the surface and animates things that
1608s it touches
1609s so now that might give us more context
1611s to understand why there is a Golem
1614s system coming which some of you may have
1616s seen represented in my armor or in some
1618s of the updates we put out this morning
1620s but you'll be able to go out
1622s harvest the blood crystals and I will
1624s talk a bit about that as well bring them
1626s back to metamosis with his sick mask and
1631s uh you know get those Rewards
1634s and participate in another little
1635s activity
1637s um so
1640s blood crystals how do I get them how do
1643s you get blood crystals how do you
1644s harvest the blood of the giant Kings
1646s from the earth yeah that's right so
1648s you'll be able to find the resource like
1651s you would with other resources using the
1653s spell to detect resources they'll
1656s represent be represented as a uh as sort
1659s of red underneath the ground you'll see
1661s Red Resources I'm not going to go hunt
1663s them out now for sake of time because it
1665s is random whether or not you'll find
1666s them
1667s but I will show you
1669s some stuff
1671s there are two versions
1673s um
1674s of finding and harvesting these and I'm
1676s actually going to need a
1678s pick as well oh my bad that's okay
1682s I use a pickaxe that's fine
1685s um
1686s so as I mentioned the blood Crystal
1687s brings things to life so whenever you
1690s use detect resources to find the blood
1691s Crystal you're not just finding the
1693s resource embedded in the ground you're
1695s also finding
1697s whatever it's attached to
1699s whatever it's grown into yeah
1702s so
1704s we'll go here
1705s spawn some stuff
1708s and the first version is a lovely friend
1711s you guys will surely recognize in the
1713s The Rock nose you can see the the blood
1715s red crystals I get out of the shadows as
1717s well the blood red crystals on him
1721s and after you kill him
1725s you can Harvest this corpse to get the
1726s the blood crystals
1728s again
1732s all this all this goal of equipment is
1734s uh yeah yeah we got something we got a
1737s lot of stuff lugging around
1738s so the rock nose was
1741s the second one we made and the first one
1743s we made uh we wanted to be a bigger
1745s challenge
1747s and we realized we had to offer that
1749s earlier in the game so the rock nose was
1751s a bit of a fallback
1753s uh actually sorry that's the wrong one I
1755s want this one
1756s oh um really quick also is it is it
1759s possible to uh tame the bloodrock noses
1762s and make them your pets I don't think we
1764s put a recipe on for that okay
1768s so what you'll normally be finding in
1770s higher level areas is a straight up
1773s animated Earth Golem and you can see the
1776s blood crystal in his heart or like heart
1778s and his chest there and it's the same
1780s deal as The Rock nose whenever you kill
1782s him you get to harvest his resources
1784s and bring it back for a reward or keep
1787s it for yourself
1789s so you can't have this specific enemy as
1792s a pet
1793s um but someone did ask yeah uh nevorbian
1797s asks can you keep a Golem as a pet not
1799s that one but
1801s wait there's well there's more
1805s yeah so I'll come up here to uh back up
1808s to met comos Aspire so you know he wants
1811s the blood Crystal because he's trying to
1812s perform a certain ritual
1815s um you know he's got his his uh his
1817s princess uh tied up here uh
1820s one of the really fun things we did with
1822s her is she's also voice acted so you'll
1824s hear her randomly screaming screaming
1826s obscenities at metcumosis you know
1828s cursing him yeah she's pretty mad about
1830s being not happy to be tied up nope let's
1833s see do you read that subtitle there you
1835s know you can see about how happy she is
1838s uh
1839s and there's another person at Mecca
1841s Moses camp
1843s and he has a little bit more information
1844s about the Golems themselves so this is
1848s another another Katan exile
1851s who has started using that blood crystal
1852s that's used to make his altar uh and you
1855s know he is essentially obsessed with the
1858s art of carving golems and using that
1860s blood Crystal to make something you know
1862s really amazing he will also
1866s be able to teach you how to make your
1867s own Golems so there's different power
1870s levels of golems and we'll get into that
1872s further and the player will be capable
1874s of making pretty crude ones and when you
1876s go on an adventure into the world doing
1877s things like Dungeons and killing bosses
1879s you'll start to find higher level parts
1881s that you can't craft but you can use
1884s in the crafting process
1887s so this guy also has a whole set of
1889s voice acting to go along with him and
1892s you know he'll tell you more about his
1894s place in the world and what he's
1896s interested in
1898s um and then just before we leave met
1899s kimosa's Camp I'll give another hint of
1903s what's Happening
1904s uh part of what you'll find in his
1906s dialogue
1907s tells you that
1910s he wants to perform a ritual and there's
1912s another ritual happening at the same
1914s time
1915s metamosis wants you to go to the site of
1917s the other ritual which he's found a way
1919s to get to with a transpiratory stone
1923s and stop the
1925s Ritual from happening
1926s so those of you following along with the
1928s story might have an idea of who's
1930s performing the ritual
1931s you might
1933s be familiar with the location you're
1937s taken to if you've again been following
1939s along with the story it is a new area
1942s there is
1944s new content and an encounter to discover
1947s there I think everyone's going to be
1949s really surprised and excited to see it
1951s it's really cool and it's it's a pretty
1954s big deal and we've decided that we don't
1956s want to spoil it so we're not going to
1957s show it now I'm not even going to say
1959s anything more about it once you guys get
1961s on it's on like if you get on the public
1962s beta server or you just wait for it to
1964s release everything will become a lot
1966s more clear I'm super excited about it
1969s um but here you can see we're able to
1970s put the blood crystal in this portal to
1973s fire up fire up uh you know a portal
1976s that lets you go somewhere yeah location
1979s and check out something awesome
1982s uh there will be a thing there for you
1984s to bring back to metamosis as well
1986s that'll get you some more rewards again
1988s similar to the bounty hunting event how
1990s we had like you know you could knock out
1992s uh you could kill guys and get their
1993s skull and get a little reward or you
1995s could knock them out and bring them back
1996s and get a bigger award we've got a
1998s similar scheme going on here where you
2000s can go find the crystals bring them back
2001s for a small one or you can go get this
2003s other thing bring it back for a huge one
2005s there'll be new vendors here there'll be
2008s new vendors here I believe at the camp
2010s too right they're kind of similar to
2011s what we had with the head hunting event
2012s from last uh last chapter yeah I think
2014s they're set up down here uh already
2018s these folks take ancient opal eye too
2021s right excuse me yeah that's right um so
2024s it'll be the same thing it's actually I
2026s believe it's even using the same tables
2028s um so the guys that you could get last
2030s time will be the guys that you know you
2032s could get this time if you're getting
2033s thralls through that method
2035s um and the things that you can purchase
2037s are mixed up a little bit
2040s uh but yeah it's you know just more more
2042s incentive to you know keep keep uh doing
2046s the activity on some Source right have
2048s some fun
2049s collecting stuff and bringing it back
2051s that's kind of the name of the game is
2052s having fun collecting stuff I think so
2055s um will will the head hunting event in
2058s like the activity itself persist even
2060s after like you know once once chapter
2062s three concludes like uh what what does
2065s that spell for like the the kitten folks
2067s and the Headhunters and all that
2069s uh head hunting and even this this event
2072s right now are technically temporary but
2076s we're going to be bringing them back
2078s later as part of the normal encounter
2081s rotation that occurs it just won't be on
2083s as large of a scale gotcha so you might
2086s see one of them uh headhunting might not
2088s be a great example I think that we we
2090s might not see the head hunting Caravans
2092s come back because they're kind of
2093s persistent
2095s um we'll have to see exactly how we
2096s decide to handle that we might move it
2098s into a smaller area but for the time
2099s being the head hunting Caravans will be
2101s gone that activity will be gone and
2103s it'll be replaced with this one we
2105s always want to kind of have something
2106s new and fresh for you to do but I also
2108s don't want to get rid of things that
2109s people like to do so in some capacity we
2112s miss it let me say we may see it return
2115s as a temporary event or it may come back
2118s as um
2119s just a random encounter I think more
2122s likely what what you'll see is we'll
2123s turn it on for a week or two at a time
2125s and you know we'll just pick and choose
2128s to mix things up to keep everything
2129s fresh from people
2131s you want to say where you currently are
2133s on the map where you want to leave that
2134s oh yeah I'm at kimosa Spire um and you
2137s guys might recognize it from the past
2139s where it was it was uh previously just
2142s this statue this uh this like uh you
2145s know acronian
2146s um Tower with a slab and mechromosis was
2149s standing in front of it so there used to
2151s be a slab right here where these guys
2152s are standing and there was met tomosa
2155s standing right here and he would teach
2156s you the set religion and a couple emotes
2158s and now met kamosis you know he's he's
2160s moved a little bit but he's right nearby
2162s Steve uh will he still teach you the
2164s ways of set yeah he still has all of all
2167s of that stuff uh he just has his
2169s dialogue changed from what it used to be
2172s um
2173s what about
2174s um
2176s the other interesting thing on the
2177s horizon
2178s which other interesting thing the thing
2180s that's literally on the horizon
2182s that we're looking at right now I use my
2185s words really specifically I don't I my
2188s no thoughts head empty Sangha and bunga
2192s as part of this event and as part of the
2196s storytelling that's happening
2199s chat
2200s um
2204s for a short time while this event's
2206s active you know for the three month
2208s period or so
2210s um there will no longer be night time in
2212s the exiled lands instead it will be
2215s replaced with what you're seeing on
2216s screen right now this is a key component
2219s in the ritual itself and it's kind of a
2223s you know Celestial alignment where
2227s the moon eclipses the Sun and during
2230s that time instead of having full on
2231s Pitch Black you'll have this kind of red
2233s tinged Eclipse that hovers overhead and
2237s then goes away and you know when you're
2239s taken to a new place through the
2242s transportory stone to experience you
2244s know a new part of gameplay that will be
2247s a part of that as well
2250s so night times will be a little bit
2252s brighter you know you won't have the
2254s full on dark for this duration but you
2256s will have this really cool eclipse in
2258s the sky
2260s what an ominous portent indeed hmm
2264s and here's a view of the Horizon a bit
2266s more so you can see it's not quite as
2268s dark as it was before we've got some
2270s awesome red clouds that fade into a
2272s cooler
2273s blue near the ground
2276s all right
2277s well now I can take off to uh Golem city
2281s as I have dubbed it Andy set up some
2283s stuff to look at
2286s and we can talk more about Golems
2288s Golem time Golem time Golem time and
2291s more so everything we have set up here
2294s um
2295s there's a bit of DLC stuff in here
2299s let me change the time of day so you
2301s guys can actually see as well
2303s oh I I don't know
2307s is the new area
2309s located so I guess this is for more of a
2312s modding specific question but is the new
2314s area that we're having that we're
2315s sending folks
2316s like do you know geographically where it
2319s is like on the map even if it's like in
2320s an inaccessible area like if it's in
2321s like the Northeast area it's in it
2326s I don't know where its specific location
2328s is
2330s it is currently dynamically loaded uh
2333s for the encounter itself it uses the
2336s encounter system it's just on always
2339s um
2340s that's about all I can say without
2342s really giving any more kind of spoilers
2344s so
2345s I guess I guess a better question would
2348s be to ask it exists in a place in the
2349s world
2351s do you do you foresee its existence uh
2353s perhaps interfering with like moder's
2355s ability to like edit maps and stuff like
2357s that I mean obviously it might they'll
2359s have to like be aware like wary of it or
2361s like mindful of it but like if you have
2363s events uh the the the bullion for events
2366s like the encounter toggle disabled on
2368s the server it shouldn't be even loaded
2370s okay so if you're playing on like age of
2373s clam at a server or something and you
2374s don't have the funcom events enabled uh
2377s it shouldn't interfere at all uh that's
2380s part of it you know being dynamically
2381s loaded if you are running you know more
2384s something more base game or base game
2386s friendly that has up on come events
2387s turned on uh depending on what you've
2389s made it may or may not be in your way
2391s you'll just have to see when the time
2393s comes well yeah uh yeah thanks for the
2394s question uh ameg 88 I hope I hope that
2396s helps answer the question uh but yeah
2398s well yeah certainly we can't be more
2399s specific yeah yeah uh I just don't want
2401s to ruin it for people what's up Good
2402s Question people are asking like what
2406s and so far
2410s so far oh yeah so I mean obviously met
2411s kimosis doesn't exist on the Isle of
2413s SEPTA so the journey system that we
2416s showed
2417s um what we're about to show with golems
2419s will be available on Septa but the
2421s narrative oriented things that are like
2423s mechanos Aspire
2426s um
2427s uh the the new bit of content that
2428s you'll run into those are only going to
2430s be on exile lens and everything else
2432s will be everywhere so Golem Parts
2434s crafting and discovering golems all of
2436s the building stations and everything
2438s that we show that'll be on both Maps
2439s just the narrative is separate
2443s okay uh ready to go into Golems
2446s themselves yeah this is a really big
2448s topic
2450s um
2451s Golems are a new follower type
2456s we haven't released their trailer yet so
2457s you guys aren't sure what they do so I
2459s guess this is my opportunity to to let
2462s it Let it Loose
2464s um do we have any Golems actually yeah
2465s these are on stands okay yeah that's on
2468s a standard that these three are active
2469s and can be commanded and that's just on
2471s display yeah so I'll I guess I'll start
2473s in the inventory uh because we have a
2475s couple parts in there
2478s um Golems are going to be a follower
2481s that you can craft
2483s and they have two arms two legs a torso
2487s and a head and you can make different
2489s pieces to create a different follower at
2492s the end of the day each of the those
2493s different pieces also have different
2495s attributes
2496s um that you'll see the side effects of
2499s whenever you go into the actual Golem
2501s crafting station so this is a bench that
2504s you'll make the parts on and you can see
2506s the recipes for the things that you can
2507s actually create
2510s and once you create those pieces you can
2512s bring them over to the assembly station
2514s and it'll you know kind of splat them
2517s down here
2518s put the pieces in context so you can see
2521s them in the world and once you put all
2523s the pieces on you'll have access to a
2525s ritual
2528s that lets you actually animate that
2530s Guardian
2532s so here you can see I've put a chest on
2534s the ritual station so it tells me how
2535s much health it will have what kind of
2536s armor and how much inventory space it
2538s will have an inventory space is going to
2541s be pretty important for Golems
2543s because
2546s the guardian Golem can Harvest resources
2548s for you while you're in the world
2550s I uh there was there was a specific
2552s question someone on YouTube asked
2555s specifically that like are you going to
2556s look you're gonna let your Golems
2557s Harvest some resources you ever think
2558s about that we did in fact think about
2560s that yeah so on this Golem you can see
2563s the parts he's made of uh you know what
2566s attributes he gets for having those and
2568s what he can do this one has an ax in his
2570s hands so he can Harvest Lumber different
2573s tools that you put in their hands will
2575s have different harvesting capabilities
2577s and for this guy if he's following me
2580s and I have like a you know a stick or a
2582s piece of wood in my inventory they'll
2584s Harvest trees or you know gather sticks
2586s whatever
2588s um relevant pieces you can actually put
2590s in and it'll tell you like if I try to
2592s put a rock in this one uh sorry I think
2594s I have to move it here first but it'll
2596s tell me that he maybe he's not because
2598s he's not rock and stone
2601s yeah so it'll tell me when I can't
2603s Harvest something
2605s and if I can move it there
2608s you know it'll go into that inventory
2609s and then they'll just go to passively
2611s pick up those kind of resources so
2613s because he's looking for sticks he knows
2615s that he can find sticks and trees and as
2617s he harvests his inventory will start to
2619s fill up with the things he's harvesting
2622s um so there will be more detail and more
2624s context on exactly what kind of stuff
2625s you can and can't Harvest I know that
2628s one thing people will just ask
2629s automatically is can they harvest star
2630s metal
2631s the meteorite has to be cracked before
2635s they'll Harvest it but they will harvest
2636s it once it's actually been opened
2638s otherwise you know
2640s we've got a whole swath of classified
2642s materials that you can put in there and
2643s have them follow you around fight and
2645s harvest stuff in the in between
2648s um we've got some more gold and stuff on
2651s the back burner as well that I'm not
2653s sure exactly when we'll get to it but
2656s there is probably more than this coming
2658s with golems in the future and there's
2660s even more to talk about with it now as
2661s well cool
2663s um so this guy right here is uh what
2666s what we call a tier one Golem so he's
2668s he's like the lowest level of Golem that
2670s you can make he's made out of stone you
2672s can see he has the cool heart embedded
2674s in his chest that's the the Bloodstone
2677s that you would have Harvest he's thirsty
2680s for trees yeah he wants some sticks boy
2683s so he could pick the sticker
2685s I love it yep our Golems uh permanent or
2690s are they also just
2693s the Golems will be here forever they're
2694s here to stay yeah so it'll be a base
2696s feature with the game yeah yeah you'll
2698s always be a way to find them uh find how
2702s to create them and and you know do the
2704s activities required to to allow them to
2706s to harvest
2709s um the Golems are not dateable as a game
2711s mechanic however fanfics are welcome I
2714s know yeah that's up to you to do if you
2716s wanna if you want to roll players or
2717s maybe your Golems that's you know that's
2719s on you I'm not gonna yep your yum I'm
2722s gonna get this guy to stop following me
2724s and check out some other golems as well
2726s so this is a what we would call a tier
2728s two Golem he's made out of iron
2731s and you can see he's got a ton of Health
2734s and that kind of brings me to one of the
2737s next things about Golems is they cannot
2738s be healed like other followers once you
2740s make them you know they're made out of a
2743s destructible material that will erode
2745s and Decay over time they won't really
2747s passively Decay but when you take them
2748s into combat and they take damage that
2750s damage is forever
2752s there's no way to heal them no way to
2754s bring them back they don't level like a
2756s normal follower so their power is kind
2758s of static they're just going to be what
2759s you see is what you get on that on that
2761s menu
2763s but they've got another mechanic baked
2764s in that's kind of cool so
2767s he does have a lot of health and
2769s um you know you'll see various armor
2771s values depending on what you put on but
2773s they also have a passive deflection
2775s mechanic that's like um we borrowed from
2778s when a player gets a rebound off of a
2780s shield so if you hit a Golem there's a
2782s chance that the shield you know they'll
2784s do a shield rebound that Target will get
2787s kicked back and then the Golem will have
2788s like a window of opportunity to exploit
2790s that as well so their defense isn't just
2792s their health and their armor they also
2795s have that deflection and the types of
2796s Parts you use and
2798s additionally there will be another thing
2800s I'll talk about that'll improve that
2801s further but there are ways to make them
2803s deflect more as well
2806s a couple questions came up in chat
2808s um do Golems have to be on follow mode
2811s in order to autonomously harvest or can
2813s you just like set them and just like let
2815s them go on their own at the moment they
2817s have they do have to be on follow
2819s um one of the things that we didn't get
2821s to finish but is almost done is a way
2823s for them to harvest autonomously where
2826s you can kind of leave them in a place
2828s and let them just do their own thing but
2830s that hasn't been fully QA tested we
2833s don't have a timeline for when that will
2834s be released but I know that in the long
2836s run it's a thing we want to do
2838s because eventually you will likely see
2841s some some or all of this Behavior coming
2844s to normal thralls too I know that's
2846s another thing people will want to see is
2847s if Golems can do it why can't people and
2850s for the time being we want it to be a
2851s thing that sets Golems apart and keeps
2853s them special but in the long run it is
2855s absolutely plausible that this winds up
2857s on regular some things you would like to
2859s do yeah and then uh the other question
2862s that I saw oh God I'm blanking now uh
2865s one sec sorry
2868s um will will these count towards your
2870s like for all or follower account yeah
2872s they're normal followers so they will
2873s they will count and so they get boosted
2875s by like the authority you actually did
2876s as well they will get boosted by
2877s Authority but like I said before they
2879s can't be healed
2881s um I believe if if I remember right the
2883s things that would heal them otherwise
2885s boost their deflection so they have a
2888s higher chance to make a tax rebound and
2890s take no damage gotcha okay uh someone's
2893s asking me when they die probably drop
2895s parts to be reassembled
2896s uh in case you couldn't hear the
2898s question was uh when when Golems are
2901s destroyed uh can you like salvage some
2903s of their parts or anything like that
2904s right now when they're gone they're gone
2907s so he just falls apart and he drops what
2910s he had his inventory and there goes his
2912s ax arm
2913s [Laughter]
2915s but yeah
2916s um one of the things that we try to base
2918s the around a lot of things that pull
2921s from our one of our design pillars is
2922s that nothing is forever essentially so
2925s even when the Golem itself dies we don't
2927s want you to just be able to take those
2928s parts back and put it back we want you
2930s to have to go back and kind of go
2931s through that process of making them
2932s again
2933s um
2934s just because it's it's it gets you out
2936s on more Adventures right that's the
2938s primary thing we want you to be
2939s exploring out in the world going out to
2941s do the activities that make you feel
2943s empowered and give you you know that
2944s temporary boost in power until you lose
2946s something and you have to go back and
2947s get it again
2949s yes question from Chad
2952s um can you
2960s no we just um
2963s we just offer different parts as kind of
2966s reskins essentially so
2969s um one thing you'll see I believe it's
2971s in the battle pass I'll have to double
2972s check
2973s um but we have a version of the Iron
2975s Golem oh sorry it's actually in the shop
2977s we have a version of the Iron Golem that
2979s is patina and it has like you know it
2981s has green and kind of copper patina on
2984s it and it looks like this guy that's
2986s right on the screen here but it's the
2988s same items but with a different skin
2991s period yeah I think there is a battle I
2993s believe one of the I I want to say the
2995s Capstone reward for the battle pass yeah
2997s like uh we'll check it out and go
2999s through the war the rewards as they're
3000s set up now for the battle pass later but
3002s that's the idea that we make alternate
3004s versions of the parts not using our
3005s resetting system for them and for what
3008s it's worth also you can mix and match
3009s the various like part quality so you can
3011s put like a crystalline leg on like a
3013s stone torso with like an iron head or
3015s something like that you can actually see
3017s here on the stand that we have set up
3018s like we have a couple different special
3019s Parts uh to further customize your
3022s Golems uh some people know noted in chat
3024s the conspicuous head let this go home on
3028s the stand has some people referencing
3029s Dynamite heading which was one of my old
3032s favorites I love that game so shout outs
3034s to those of you who called that out yeah
3035s I mean Golems are you know a facsimile
3038s of humans they don't have to be
3039s one-to-one Recreation so we've got some
3041s really cool parts that you can
3043s interchange with what would just be a
3045s normal head and one of them is the
3047s explosive jar
3051s another thing that might not be obvious
3053s at first is on this one it not only has
3056s a jar for head but its torso is Hollow
3059s and it's an incense burner
3061s and one of the things you can do with
3063s this Golem is put different flowers in
3065s it
3065s or if you take it a step further you can
3068s put the powder of those flowers in it
3070s for a greater effect to have some kind
3072s of um you know passive effect around
3074s your character so different flowers will
3076s do things like increased deflection
3080s a health regeneration around the Golem
3083s uh there's like strength weapon damage
3086s increase around it I can't remember
3088s exactly how many effects there are
3089s offhand there's a bunch like there's
3092s like two different qualities of various
3093s effects then there's like there's like
3095s six there's five or six different
3096s effects yeah and then a second tier for
3098s each yeah yeah
3101s um they're they're all Lotus driven and
3103s you can take the Lotus and grind it and
3105s get a more potent version of it
3107s um keeping in
3109s and and uh check with the lore
3111s essentially that you know whenever you
3113s use alchemy to kind of grind these
3114s things down they become a more powerful
3116s version so yeah when you're when you're
3117s at adventuring with your with your hot
3119s box stole them you can go and get some
3122s sweet Buffs while you're fighting
3123s alongside them
3125s um and then another thing here is uh the
3128s automaton stand is another cool thing
3130s um I can't remember if this I think the
3132s stand is in in monetization as well I
3135s think it's maybe the battle pass but
3137s don't quote me on that but it's
3139s essentially kind of just a little
3140s station that lets you display the the
3143s automaton that you've created
3145s um and you don't fully have to do the
3147s ritual you just put the parts in and you
3149s can see yeah it's just the display stand
3150s like yeah it's completely inner and
3151s can't do anything but it's just there to
3153s like show off as like a decoration and
3156s this is a good way to show too how you
3158s can put you know different different
3159s pieces in that do different things yeah
3161s like did you want to give away like
3162s everything that you could use oh flesh
3165s Golems they're like oh I want sores for
3167s arms and like there's a few different
3169s types of weapon arms you can put on a
3171s few different types of I think a couple
3173s types of heads and maybe one or two
3175s types of torsos like the the one that
3177s Dennis just to put on what the purple
3178s eyes acts as like a light source uh for
3180s dark areas as well that's a that's its
3182s own like special kind of head yeah I can
3184s do this and just have a little uh skim
3186s through all the different parts
3188s um
3189s so some of these you can't craft and
3191s some of them you can the crystalline
3193s ones for example and that's the guy on
3195s the far right on the left side of my
3196s screen they'll only come from drops in
3198s the world and uh the sculptor NPC that's
3201s in mechamosa's Camp actually has a
3203s rotating inventory of Parts too so if
3206s you show up at different times you might
3207s have a different piece to sell you I
3210s believe it's at the cost of blood
3211s crystals themselves
3214s um and in addition to that we also have
3216s coded parts so the part might not just
3218s have a base effect but something like
3220s you know there's there's one here
3222s crystalline Guardian tar head whenever
3225s you take that item and you and you check
3227s it out
3228s um I should put it on the bench actually
3229s just so you can see here
3231s it'll add different qualities in combat
3233s creates a creates flammable pools of
3235s tarp so now if you apply uh you know
3238s fire effect to those you have traveling
3240s fire essentially
3242s um I think there is I want to say
3244s there's two types of coding but there
3247s might be three
3249s Andy if you want to look on that page
3251s you might be able to find out the the
3252s exact number
3254s um sorry what are we looking for I was
3255s looking at Coatings types of Coatings
3257s okay one sec let me take a look
3261s ones are my best
3263s I also appreciate the uh comment about
3266s the Exodia
3268s uh so it looks like there's well
3270s according to this there's two types of
3272s Coatings and then a couple more that are
3274s in Brimstone yeah that we wanted to do
3276s but
3277s okay yeah I haven't been implemented
3279s yeah so we have two Coatings now and
3281s then we we may wind up adding more later
3284s um as with like a lot of the stuff you
3285s you guys have seen come out in sorcery
3287s we try to make everything to be
3289s forward-minded so when we want to do
3290s little touches here and there to spice
3292s up different parts of the game that
3294s people like but maybe hasn't had any new
3296s content in a while we can come back and
3298s add something cool and we have ideas for
3300s these things in the backlog that we can
3302s just reach into anytime and add new
3304s systems and you know new Dynamics to the
3306s game there's a couple people in chat
3308s asking if there's an animation when you
3310s start a goal if you want to slams I do I
3312s do want to slam some of those legs and
3313s arms into there and fire one up let's uh
3315s let's get all the stuff you had on
3317s display in there
3320s so this one has the Scythe arm uh you
3323s always have to have an empty arm in the
3325s left but the right one determines what
3327s kind of tool they use and you can see
3329s here when I put the Scythe arm in it can
3331s Harvest foliage
3332s I put the the chest in it's the incense
3334s burner so it has the lotus lotus burner
3337s attribute that lets you burn flowers and
3339s it has the explosive jar head which
3341s means it detonates on death
3343s um so we'll now do the ritual and just
3346s like any other ritual
3347s he'll come around to a specific spot
3349s picking the long way around
3352s yeah it's a defined point so he'll do
3354s his ritual and then animate the Golem
3363s live live
3369s the bench will you know lifts it up and
3371s let it come to life
3376s or something yeah yeah it leaves me
3380s anyway sorry yeah put Andy's voice in
3384s the game please
3385s thanks bird kicks okay um so now we've
3389s got this guy if we inspect him we can
3390s see all that same stuff we can see his
3392s health is armor how much inventory he
3393s has and now it's obvious that the
3395s inventory size matters because that's
3397s how much stuff they can carry when
3398s they're harvesting you know they run out
3399s of input inventory space they can't
3400s Harvest anymore
3403s and his explosive jar head um let's go
3405s ahead and just drop some Golden Lotus in
3407s there to begin with oh yeah uh and then
3410s he should start you know burning some
3412s flowers here since he is following me oh
3415s do I have to actually enable it as well
3416s I can't remember
3419s I think it should just go
3422s I can double check
3425s oh yeah I I haven't actually that one
3427s sorry I just looked at your phone
3431s I don't even know what you saw
3434s it's all sorry
3436s I could try doing uh no the
3438s unfortunately your goal your Golem will
3440s not take you uh will not take ballroom
3442s dancing lessons with you uh that sounds
3444s like a great mod though
3448s people like no feet
3452s I'll mark this as uh part of the work in
3454s progress status of this but in the end
3456s whenever it ships it will have the the
3458s effect along with it as well I think
3460s it's burning it but you can't see it
3461s right now okay gotcha there's no VFX
3465s I am in creative mode
3467s there's the buff that's right good point
3468s okay yes thank you so yeah you can see
3471s the passive effect happening there
3474s um and then I think I think we said
3475s there's five of those and you know two
3477s power levels of each one essentially
3479s [Music]
3480s um
3481s yeah so see what flowers do you want
3484s that should be a little more impressive
3485s in the end please and then with this guy
3488s uh like it said you know he's got the
3490s explosive jar head so whenever he dies
3493s it'll drop the jar
3495s and even though I killed him manually
3497s you can see the jar burning and really
3499s on the ground and there's the explosion
3505s nice so I think that's largely Golems I
3509s don't know if there's a lot more to
3510s cover on them at the point you know it
3511s does have a lot of stuff to begin with
3513s um this is the super high powered Golem
3515s you can see he has insane health and
3516s armor and he's set up to harvest rocks
3519s as it is
3520s ah that is a lot of Health geez yeah but
3522s like I said he can't be healed right so
3524s it's it is
3526s as effective as effective HP can be but
3529s he also has that deflection mechanic on
3531s top as well people are very excited
3533s about those rounded floors by the way oh
3535s I mean you saw that don't worry yeah
3537s yeah yeah we're getting each other what
3539s about these rounded things did anyone
3540s see these oh that's interesting
3544s uh so I guess uh we're probably ready to
3546s move on from Golems now right I think so
3549s yeah I mean if there's any other
3550s questions and chat really questions
3552s what about the Gold's inventory when
3554s they're full like what do they do oh
3556s yeah well they behave normally you know
3558s they'll follow you and perform in combat
3560s they just won't be able to actually
3561s carry any more stuff so I believe that
3564s harvesting will be totally blocked at
3565s that point I don't think they'll just
3567s leave little bags on the ground for you
3568s uh but it's definitely one of those two
3570s things
3571s and for the record I'm taking a lot of
3573s questions with the topic that we're
3574s talking about and then we'll likely have
3576s a q a session at the end for other
3578s things I do see y'all's questions
3581s if anyone didn't hear that Nicole just
3583s said she's taking questions on other
3584s things as well but she's only asking the
3586s ones about what we're talking about yeah
3587s about Golem specifically and I'm taking
3588s a look at Chad as well so we're keeping
3590s track with what we can
3592s uh and we yeah don't worry we saw we saw
3594s plenty of comments about like oh what
3595s are these what are these rounded
3596s foundations what are these round things
3598s can we have armor stands like these
3601s Golem stands home can we
3604s let's say you
3606s I say yes oh
3609s yes
3610s in the time it took to ask that question
3612s we implemented that yeah I I just
3615s actually I went in and I checked I
3617s checked the check box
3619s yeah this job is really easy so oh yeah
3624s we just press buttons and like things
3625s just come to life it's fine yeah it's
3627s the Game Dev is so easy
3629s everybody's very excited
3632s um we're still taking care of some stuff
3634s on the armor displays as well like
3635s you'll see this one on the female
3636s there's a bit of an issue with the
3638s texture of some more up on the chest
3640s there and yeah obviously they have
3642s checkerboard uh
3644s that won't be there in the end
3647s um but we didn't want to not show this
3648s uh because it's so exciting so uh I do
3652s you have uh in the other tent I have
3654s once dressed up already so we've got a
3655s couple tents set up and these ones are
3657s wearing armor
3660s so all you have to do is yeah you just
3662s you just dump uh whatever armor pieces
3664s onto your uh so I don't have anything of
3665s those things sure you do
3667s oh yes
3668s I have other things you can throw some
3670s random things on here
3673s and make a different display there is a
3675s male and female version
3678s um currently they do not accept dyes or
3680s Illusions but because I think we're
3683s going to be we're going to have
3685s different versions of the mannequin
3687s probably in the future going forward we
3689s want to accommodate that so I think that
3691s you'll see a version in the future that
3693s accepts the dyes and Illusions as well
3694s we have a plan for it already we just
3696s didn't have time to do it right now or
3697s like with different poses or something
3698s right yep so
3702s yeah
3703s so Elite mantle it and off request
3706s feature we know and so that will be
3708s added and I believe that this
3712s should I open the battle pass now you
3714s can one sec
3716s [Music]
3717s oh and that's I I did see someone in the
3720s uh YouTube chat also uh astutely noticed
3723s that that was the age of Conan
3725s Necromancer armor yeah yeah um one thing
3728s we've been doing just because we we
3730s think it's cool is uh getting some of
3733s the armors back from AOC you've seen a
3735s lot of them in game already probably if
3736s you're familiar with the game you know
3738s with the Assassin Barbarian armor
3740s Guardian armors in there
3742s um so we also we made that Necromancer
3744s set as well we'll take a closer look at
3746s it in a minute
3747s um I I mentioned him a lot on the stream
3749s but uh vibjorn one of our artists put a
3752s lot of time into making that Necromancer
3754s armor because in AOC it doesn't have a
3757s lot of really high detail and we have to
3758s recreate it to put it in Exiles so the
3761s 2D detail on it is very high and it
3763s shows a lot of tiny little pieces and he
3765s had to go through and actually give
3766s topology and you know geometry to all of
3768s those little tiny pieces so again a big
3771s shout out to Van Born oh and the big no
3774s spoilers thing by the way is it's it's
3775s just a cut so like you know when you
3777s complete the battle pass it like gives
3778s you like little like lore bits we don't
3780s want to have those bits on stream
3783s because we want you to see those for
3784s yourselves so that's it's going to be
3787s yeah we for the sake of the stream we
3789s have the whole battle pass unlocked and
3790s we just don't want the text to be
3791s visible for now no we're not showing us
3793s showing
3794s showings knees actually the most
3796s important story points are not text but
3798s they are hidden behind the nose spoilers
3800s block nice great excellent
3804s um the the mannequin here I was just
3806s going to point out it is a battle pass
3807s reward and it's a free reward so anyone
3810s can claim this whether you pay to unlock
3812s the battle pass or not everyone will be
3814s able to play and get the mannequin and
3816s you you might think also well what does
3818s that mean for you know the future you
3821s know when this battle pass is gone we
3823s will have other versions and iterations
3824s of this that are probably available in
3827s the shop we may eventually end up uh
3829s wind up having the base game version as
3831s well and um
3834s potentially more battle pass versions as
3836s well so just because it's here once
3837s doesn't mean it's going to be the only
3838s version of it but for now it is free for
3841s everybody you don't even have to you
3843s know
3848s um and we can skim through some other
3849s stuff while we're here if you want to
3851s sure I mean yeah we can go over maybe
3852s maybe like the first three pages
3854s folks I love showing off like all of the
3857s backgrounds and everything too because
3859s uh the work that goes into them is so
3862s amazing and it'll give people something
3864s to speculate about what the story is
3866s that's happening fine with that I'm fine
3869s with that yeah in fact uh maybe maybe
3871s some eagle-eyed viewers might notice a
3873s reference to previous
3875s indeed illustrations we've had so and um
3878s you'll also see
3880s um you know giving a disclaimer again
3881s there may be some stuff that's not
3883s doesn't have final icons or are in in
3885s the battle pass as we go through it just
3886s know that as we go forward
3889s um so we again have a lot of like
3891s sorcery themed items we always try to
3893s strike a balance of how much stuff is
3895s specific to the theme of the age versus
3897s how much stuff is kind of a breather
3899s from people who so they don't you don't
3900s get fatigued
3902s um from just having uh
3905s all sorcery stuff all the time
3907s so there's a neat Shield uh that's
3910s that's based on that uh altar that Mecca
3912s Moses has uh where you can see that you
3914s know the the fire above the skull the
3916s Chad's going up to the camel I know
3918s camel hello so there's the camel
3921s um the camel right now is literally just
3923s a you know a pack animal you can't ride
3925s on this version not a mount sadly yeah
3927s yeah but it is a follower you can have
3929s follow you around with a good amount of
3930s inventory space
3934s but we know everyone's going to want to
3935s be able to ride it eventually
3938s oh yeah the text here is different from
3941s what you actually get what you what
3942s you're actually going to get is the the
3943s creature that's shown here not not any
3944s kind of backflip or anything yeah there
3946s are some things that we have to replace
3947s uh you know kind of last minute if we
3949s can make things work or not so yeah
3950s maybe it's all around maybe a spoiler
3952s for the future but that's okay it's not
3953s a big deal
3955s um there's a reskin for like the golden
3957s craft bench
3959s slow clap emote oh yeah we have the the
3961s previews for these now too so it's cool
3963s to show the actual actual emotes we
3966s didn't miss any other emotes earlier
3967s right I don't think so we'll show this
3969s there's a cool turanian armor set
3972s yeah you'll notice a lot of um a lot of
3974s the battle pass stuff also and some of
3977s the things that you'll see in the bazaar
3978s as well are uh terranium themed and
3979s we'll go into that a bit too because I
3980s have some some folks in chat have uh
3983s pointed out the curved items
3987s you can punch the camel
3990s well maybe we can make that in the
3991s future
3992s uh there's The Necromancer set
3996s and you can see it has a lot of tiny
3997s pieces yeah there's a lot a lot going on
4000s there we also been making these chests
4001s to kind of let you
4004s um more easily dictate and decide what
4006s goes where so this one is you know for
4009s rocks and or uh and it's obvious from a
4012s distance it was one I saw that had like
4014s Lumber or a specialized Lumber one as
4016s well yeah yeah olives are are free with
4019s the update Golems are just yeah so yeah
4020s Golems there so everything we've talked
4022s about prior to like battle pass and
4023s bizarre stuff is all just like going to
4025s be part of the base game you don't have
4027s to like buy anything like special or
4028s like you know download some DLC or
4030s whatever other than just the update just
4032s part of the update for everyone
4033s oh someone asked if you'll see the rocks
4035s in it
4037s um I can't remember if we were able to
4039s go that far but it is a thing that we
4042s requested to do
4044s um we'll have to see when we get closer
4045s to release if it gets put in or not
4049s um this this emote sadly is not animated
4050s or it doesn't have the the preview yet
4052s but this is really just you know
4054s standing there waving the fan at someone
4058s there's a Golem pet as well
4063s what the dog doing
4065s horse uh the blood Crystal weapons are
4068s really cool
4070s yeah we have a couple of them equipped
4072s on the character as well yeah I'll show
4073s them in a moment but they're they have
4075s that that blood Crystal from the golems
4078s and the ground worked into them there's
4080s uh tiranian sword there
4084s uh really fancy yeah this is that uh
4086s armor set that we're wearing on our
4087s character right now yep
4091s and there's also going to be there'll be
4092s other like uh costume sets that are
4094s themed around uh golomancy as well
4099s there's multiple uh types of specialized
4101s containers uh we saw the rock the rocks
4104s in world one there's also one for lumber
4105s I think there's a couple other ones
4107s uh
4108s uh I'd have to check out the top of my
4110s head but yeah there's not just one
4112s oh we didn't unlock the whole thing oh I
4115s didn't unlock the whole thing dang a bed
4117s it's mostly unlocked uh the war crime
4120s mode that one's really awesome your
4121s character screams really really loud
4123s whenever you do it I need to bug someone
4125s for I need more coins
4128s and then here at the end we have uh
4131s another version of the stone Golem
4132s that's one you'll be able to craft
4136s um cool
4137s so there's a sneak peek at the Battle
4139s pass itself
4141s and here's uh also like the sword
4145s it's kind of go in vanity mode
4149s you can see the material worked into it
4151s this monitor is a bit washed out it is
4153s but I think it should display okay on
4155s the stream yeah for sure
4157s so they've got that cool vibrant red
4159s rocks uh component to them
4164s it does not glow
4167s um
4168s it was it's a little bit too high
4169s fantasy for it to have a passive glow so
4173s um we we kind of gave it this sort of
4175s almost like sub service reflection kind
4177s of look
4179s to make it look like there's a little
4180s bit of depth to it
4183s and oops I put the wrong boots on
4186s how dare you what am I missing I'm
4188s missing one of the gloves
4190s and then there's that set that
4192s Necromancer set
4194s with all of its tiny pieces
4199s bad man that's a lot of stuff yep jeez I
4203s wasn't kidding I didn't realize yeah
4204s those gauntlets are just like oh my God
4208s can you die this yeah nice yeah it
4212s should have good dye support as well
4214s um you know the the artist I mentioned
4215s before is very committed to making dyes
4218s work well on these pieces
4221s that's that excellent
4224s each tooth is made of tinier teeth yeah
4229s excuse me
4231s armor stands can't be posed right
4234s no yeah they're just that static pose
4237s yeah
4239s no Golems are free yeah one of the
4243s challenges I think we have also with
4244s those uh armor uh stands also is um like
4249s different poses can like kind of warp
4251s the armor in different ways so it's kind
4252s of a challenge to get like the right
4253s kind of like pose that
4255s sometimes doesn't we ran into some
4257s issues with like we had like one thing
4259s that was like had its arms crossed
4260s something like that that's causing a
4261s bunch of like weird geometry issues like
4263s with the shoulders and such so yeah we
4265s picked one that was pretty neutral yeah
4267s and would show the armor primarily as a
4268s starting point
4270s um we have a prototype that has a lot of
4272s different options for the armor stands
4274s so we know we can get more complex with
4276s it and offer more options for the moment
4278s though this is what will yeah come out
4280s whenever we ship
4283s what next what next I mean that covers
4285s most of I think that covers all the
4287s major steps that we wanted to talk about
4291s um
4291s with the update
4293s uh let's see we talked about
4296s uh of the new Journey system we talked
4298s about uh the blood crystals and Mecca
4301s Moses's new crib we hinted a little bit
4303s of what's what he's up to uh the all-new
4305s Golem system
4307s a couple of new placeables and uh new
4310s Iranian building piece expansions
4312s including curved pieces
4315s um actually let me show you
4318s about the building cases yeah yeah let
4320s me show off
4322s some footage from uh one of our folks
4325s over in Oslo he actually went and built
4327s a big thing and this gives you a better
4328s idea of like just what's possible I love
4330s how good that terrone is I'm sorry to
4332s interrupt that it looks so good the
4333s horse and the armor set is so awesome
4339s so uh
4342s so yeah this is just going to be like a
4343s yeah just a short view of just like
4345s what's possible with like the new
4346s building sets that we'll be adding
4348s um that are training themed
4352s and then I suppose
4354s I guess like one of the last burning
4356s questions it's like
4358s when when can our players get their
4359s hands on this
4362s can we answer that I don't know can we
4364s you tell me I actually don't know
4367s um looks like it's time to go to slack
4368s yeah I asked one second I'm just gonna
4371s let this play
4374s I'm really really bad about keeping up
4376s with timelines
4378s because I'm just trying to shove as much
4380s cool stuff in with the time that we have
4383s I need to get better about it
4388s uh Nicole are you messaging anyone or
4391s should I can okay
4401s while we're inquiring let's take a let's
4404s go to chat really quick
4406s oh
4409s oh okay one of the um looks like one of
4412s the microphones sorry
4414s I see yeah this one this one ended up
4416s dying that's why oh it did yeah okay
4418s dang it sorry I was just talking to
4420s someone being like something yeah yeah
4423s this mic just died uh the battery is
4425s dead yeah do you want to steal mine yeah
4427s we can there's also
4432s that's what that's what we're working oh
4433s now we're just gonna share this one
4434s thing that's what we're working on
4435s figuring out I'm sorry
4438s yeah they're looking into confirming
4441s right now
4442s my beard is too powerful yeah it's just
4444s like sucking all the energy all the
4446s battery power that's the source of my
4447s powers that I suck out yep yeah I I I I
4451s absorb uh all the Rapunzel with
4459s yes something like that I just absorb
4461s all the the electrical power from
4463s various things around me uh into myself
4465s through my beard and that's why
4466s everything just kind of breaks around me
4468s uh I always blame Mercury Mercury
4470s retrograde but I think it's just me
4472s having a chaotic Aura so
4474s attract
4481s well we're waiting on an answer let's
4484s take a look
4489s wow lots of stuff in chat
4491s I believe the new terrain pieces are
4493s going to be in the bizarre I believe
4498s um I think they're spread out um the
4500s battle pass has the armor set I think is
4502s well I'm sorry I was talking about the
4503s building pieces I think there's like I
4504s know that there's the scaffolding set
4506s and all that
4507s um that comes with B oh it's right there
4509s if you want to change oh yeah sure yeah
4514s um
4517s there's not like a swap button is there
4519s so like whatever you're wearing if you
4520s swap with a mannequin or
4523s uh no I think that there is a button to
4525s take everything off of it but there's
4527s not just a immediate transfer window
4530s check
4533s new felines
4535s yeah yeah oh yeah that's that's just
4537s like that's the test environment bizarre
4539s so everything rotates like super duper
4540s fast
4543s yeah uh this is another case where you
4545s might you might see stuff that's not uh
4548s you know not done and uh incomplete but
4550s there's a you know a whole set of
4553s different sorcerer themed outfits
4556s yeah different mounts weapons and an
4558s emote
4559s themed around too different following
4561s elements yeah that one gets a bit cut
4562s off oh yeah
4566s that's good to see
4568s this one's really cool it has um kind of
4571s different like praying or or you know
4573s ritual oriented emotes
4578s I love that one
4581s love that Czar thank you
4585s so let me see if
4589s okay uh so we can
4593s we can at least say
4596s public beta for chapter three
4599s is plan to go live
4602s this Thursday the 23rd of February
4608s uh for those who are uh haven't been
4611s following on along for years we used to
4613s call it test live and now we just call
4614s it the public beta because test live
4616s just never really made sense and that
4617s was an old Legacy naming scheme that
4619s we've had for a decade there was some
4621s confusion because we use test live for
4623s also the name of a branch internally no
4625s of course um so we cleaned that cleared
4628s that up
4629s so uh
4631s chapter three will be uh yep chapter
4633s three will be available for testing uh
4635s this Thursday uh and the chapter three
4639s release date official release date is
4642s currently planned
4643s as March 14th message
4649s Market calendars friends
4651s uh chapter three will be the final
4653s chapter it will be the ultimate chapter
4654s of the age of sorcery and then we will
4656s then shift into a new age a different
4659s age yep
4662s period full stop that's it
4665s yeah it is really cool to see I I think
4668s that uh you know we talked about it a
4669s bit earlier in in the the show but uh
4672s it's kind of cool to see the age of
4674s sorcery come to an end because the
4676s ending is is pretty intense and that's
4678s that's why we're we're not showing all
4680s the all the content because you know
4682s uh it's gonna be an experience to have
4686s um
4688s all right friends uh yeah yes and uh
4691s marketing ads 2023 don't worry
4693s [Laughter]
4696s thank you friends
4699s well I think that
4700s I'm a covers it as far as to show that
4703s email
4704s I was gonna say I could just show The
4706s Fanny email oh but it's yeah it's it's
4708s not textured so this is this is all like
4710s still like it's still in development but
4712s it's fine it's fine it's fine no big
4714s deal
4716s so I think that covers it as far as like
4718s things we wanted to talk about for
4719s chapter three uh we're running over just
4721s a little bit over an hour so we do
4723s actually have to get going pretty soon
4725s we may be able to take maybe a couple
4726s questions
4727s if you haven't answered them but
4729s otherwise
4731s um
4732s we will
4734s I mean we'll look forward to seeing you
4735s on the test server and hearing all your
4737s feedback
4738s yeah it's probably probably worth saying
4740s but there will be more stuff in the
4741s update than we went over today as well
4743s we just hit the big points yep yeah this
4746s is just like a preview stream like
4747s everything else you will be able to
4748s actually like play with your own hands
4751s this Thursday
4754s so any any of your burning questions I
4756s mean just wait till later this week
4757s you'll be able to answer it yourself
4759s eating pooping mechanics no no we're not
4762s no pooping
4763s sorry
4765s age of Spinosaurus that's spoilers
4768s that's the next next age confirmed
4772s yes every every mob is uh replaced with
4776s Nicole in a dinosaur onesie
4779s uh character transfers are still
4781s disabled we're looking to approve the
4784s feature still
4785s yes yeah character transfers are still
4787s disabled uh yeah still working out
4789s issues with it we don't have a ETA on
4792s that unfortunately but as soon as we
4793s know more we'll let you know
4798s and I mean like with with this patch
4800s there's going to be a lot of bug faces
4802s it's not just yeah yeah these new things
4805s you're sorry yeah yeah my bad someone
4808s actually just said climbing fix when I
4810s think it's this update that's going to
4812s have a uh I don't want to say it's a fix
4815s it's definitely an improvement to
4816s climbing
4817s um so when your character gets to the
4819s top they don't just fall off back to the
4820s bottom oh that's good
4822s um I think it's this update
4824s okay if it's not this one it's it's
4827s age two chapter one
4829s but I think it's fine I think it's here
4834s update the engine it never gonna happen
4836s we've been over this so I think it's
4838s like every stream yeah
4840s it's just a meme at this point um but
4844s uh Exiles is not a simple Unreal Engine
4848s version like you can't just right click
4850s it and say of a you know change engine
4852s version uh we have a lot of custom code
4855s in the engine code itself which makes it
4857s impossible uh to just change the version
4862s mm-hmm
4865s well okay I think that is a good point
4869s to stop for today
4872s um we look forward to hearing about all
4874s your questions or feedback about today's
4875s stream on social media or on the forums
4877s and of course again chapter three will
4880s be available on the public test server
4885s uh this Thursday the 23rd uh big shout
4889s outs to our support staff uh for helping
4891s out with chat today uh big shout outs to
4894s Nicole uh for for hanging out with us as
4897s well as marketing and producer folks

4903s for tuning in
4905s um
4907s I think that's about it for me
4909s thanks for helping Nicole appreciate it
