960s	depending on if we have time we're going
961s	to open that up for some q a with Dennis
963s	uh Dennis is a is a very busy designer

968s	thing to get to right after the stream
969s	so uh we're gonna have to be on be on
973s	schedule today
975s	um
975s	and then
977s	let's jump into like talking about new
979s	content though
980s	there is something there are a couple
982s	things I just wanted to go over and
984s	acknowledge
985s	so
987s	um
988s	let's see so yeah we wanted to take a
990s	moment to acknowledge some of the like
991s	really hot button issues that people
992s	have been talking about uh that you know
994s	comments we've been seeing on social
995s	media uh on the forums from y'all uh two
998s	really hot topics that we see a lot of
1001s	you uh bring up are
1003s	um like I guess commonly called to just
1005s	invisible creatures
1008s	um that's something that we're aware of
1009s	as well as there's like an area in I
1013s	think the south of Iowa SEPTA that
1014s	causes like a client crash so both of
1018s	those issues are acutely well known uh
1021s	and the aim is to have those issues
1023s	resolved
1024s	when this update goes live
1027s	so thank you for your patience yeah
1031s	sorry yeah turning on the music a little
1032s	bit more sorry about that
1034s	if it's still too loud let me know sorry
1036s	still working out some Kings we have a
1037s	brand new setup so yeah we have new mics
1039s	new cameras new monitors lights it's
1042s	really fancy in here now
1044s	same amount of stress though so I'm a
1045s	little bit sweaty sorry same old Andy
1047s	yeah same old Andy yeah yeah
1048s	unfortunately we should not get a new
1049s	Andy for yeah yeah yeah For Better or
1051s	For Worse yeah you're all stuck with me
1056s	yeah also yeah so we know that the
1058s	invisible stuff is not just on Septa
1061s	like the crash is unzip but the
1062s	invisible animals is happening on both
1064s	you know both Maps
1066s	um you know we know we know why a lot of
1068s	that stuff's happening again we we have
1070s	uh fixes
1072s	should be deployed when this update goes
1074s	live as well so hopefully that hopefully
1076s	that's good news for folks that are
1077s	really affected by it
1079s	um but yeah keep an eye after that
1081s	so yeah
1083s	um and I guess before yeah we we we're
1086s	going to be doing a bunch of in-game
1088s	demonstrations of these new features
1091s	um and also you all should be aware that
1093s	this is all available now on the public
1095s	beta client uh as well live now on Steam
1099s	all you got to do is download the
1101s	content Exiles public beta client uh as
1103s	a separate like uh like entry in your
1106s	library separate product yeah it's just
1108s	a separate SKU so you just you just
1110s	download that and you can try out the
1113s	new update
1115s	so let us know
1116s	okay taking a breath
1119s	quick
1122s	breath out wiping some steam off my brow
1124s	okay
1126s	let's jump in game shall we yeah or
1129s	Dennis do you do you have anything that
1130s	you'd like to start us off with or like
1132s	any any opening remarks I hadn't planned
1134s	any but I can yeah yeah so
1138s	we've seen like a lot of feedback and a
1140s	lot of reactions to the last chapter and
1142s	we knew going into it that there was
1144s	going to be like just generally a lot
1145s	less new stuff to do in chapter one the
1148s	really big feature was that we added the
1149s	treasure horde and you know it's kind of
1152s	geared a lot more toward Builders and
1153s	decorators and it doesn't necessarily
1155s	work for every type of player but now
1158s	that we're entering the second chapter
1160s	of the age of the war that setup is
1162s	going to pay off uh so getting into this
1165s	chapter the big thing that we've added
1167s	is is The Purge and we hope that the
1169s	purge really appeals to most types of
1171s	players and it's really intended to be a
1175s	very replayable
1177s	um kind of like short interaction time
1180s	system as well so we we'll talk about it
1183s	more as we get through here but really I
1186s	when I step back and look at Exiles
1188s	there's nothing that you could really
1189s	like like you could never log in and do
1191s	something really fast everything was
1193s	like oh well I need to prepare for this
1194s	thing I'm going to do next week or
1196s	tomorrow and you would spend hour an
1198s	hour or a couple hours preparing for
1200s	something else you're going to do so we
1202s	wanted to take that opportunity to make
1204s	the purge something that you could you
1205s	could like have some stuff prepared
1208s	and then you log in and you've only got
1211s	15 20 minutes so yeah I just run a quick
1214s	Purge real quick so if you want to do
1216s	one purge you can just do one and log
1218s	out and go back to your business if you
1219s	have time to play or you want to get
1220s	your friends together and you know all
1222s	gather around the the treasure and and
1224s	fight off some stygians
1226s	you could do Purge after Purge after
1228s	Purge and each time you do those purges
1230s	you'll get some rewards that'll kind of
1231s	help push you up to the next difficulty
1233s	level of purge so there's going to be a
1235s	little bit of progression in there as
1236s	well along with some rewards that come
1238s	with it
1239s	so the whole system is really just meant
1241s	to be replayable and and
1244s	fun stuff
1246s	yeah the main thing
1248s	um the main thing I'm excited for both
1250s	uh like I asked myself as a player and
1251s	also for other players to experience is
1253s	that it's just a fully opt-in system now
1254s	instead of it being like Oh no will I be
1256s	purged randomly like now it's like 100
1258s	like you have full control of like when
1262s	when you want to get attacked so it's
1263s	like uh yeah just like pocket encounters
1265s	like a little little pocket horde
1266s	defense kind of thing this is so wild
1268s	too because in chapter one when we did
1270s	the stream I I put the information out
1273s	there that we were making in an opt-in
1274s	system so you wouldn't need to be afraid
1276s	of your base getting destroyed or
1278s	anything if you weren't asking for it
1280s	and what's so funny is in the past like
1283s	two weeks I have seen more posts about
1285s	The Purge on Reddit than I have ever
1287s	seen about The Purge and the history of
1289s	Exiles lifespan so it's funny that it
1292s	seems like there's a lot of new players
1293s	coming in and kind of
1295s	interacting with or being afraid of that
1297s	system and now whenever we push these
1300s	changes out live it'll just be another
1301s	thing another system that you can kind
1303s	of stumble into and find another corner
1305s	of the game that you might find very
1306s	enjoyable and replayable
1309s	yes so and reading a quick comment in
1311s	chat [ __ ] like they can be
1313s	disabled so like it's it's 100 opt-in
1314s	like uh that means it's 100 consensual
1317s	like you own only you like you will only
1319s	be purged like your base can only be
1321s	purged if you willingly activate it
1323s	which we'll show you how to do but yeah
1325s	it is 100 in your control now as the
1328s	player as the base owner as like you
1330s	know the the treasure hoarder I guess uh
1332s	but we'll get that into it's like
1333s	actually you know what let's just jump
1335s	into live gameplay and actually show how
1336s	that works so I'm gonna swap over here
1338s	so I'm gonna do the sweet reveal of our
1340s	our base that our excellent friend in
1343s	marketing Tori angle has put yes yes
1345s	thank you much appreciate you guys we'll
1347s	get a little preview of the new building
1348s	set here I don't know if anyone happens
1350s	to be catching
1352s	down here
1354s	yeah and so and uh just as a quick
1356s	disclaimer you can see it in the corner
1357s	here as well but uh this is all like a
1359s	pre-release build I think this is
1361s	roughly the same build that should be
1362s	available on public beta right now and
1364s	so uh you might see a couple uh little
1367s	glitches here and there uh again we're
1370s	probably aware of it it's probably got a
1371s	jira in it somewhere uh so yeah please
1373s	excuse any dust or like anything like
1375s	wonky that might happen here
1376s	we've got some clan members joining us
1379s	today as well and a row of decked out uh
1382s	Defenders here for us to you know
1385s	practice The Purge with or go through
1387s	some Purge waves so we actually have a
1389s	more uh put together a treasure room
1391s	over here
1392s	but this one and I'll just show this
1395s	first so this one has a ton of treasure
1398s	in it someone has spent a lot of time
1399s	picking up gold coins and making piles
1401s	and you know bringing Treasures oh yeah
1403s	yeah
1405s	so what we have here on display uh just
1407s	to show off some of the new uh goodies
1410s	that are coming with the update uh so we
1411s	have a full uh new building set uh the
1414s	astigian pyramid themed Set uh with
1416s	foundations pillars
1418s	um different types of uh like different
1420s	gradient slopes yeah you can see there's
1422s	two slopes there yeah there's yeah
1424s	different different slope angles uh
1426s	hieroglyphic foundations as well with
1428s	four different sides uh so that way uh
1431s	you don't get so you can rotate them as
1432s	you'd like so that way you don't get
1433s	like repetitive
1435s	um you know that way like your wall
1437s	decorations like don't look repetitive
1438s	you can avoid that uh one of the other
1440s	place levels that we have also coming up
1441s	is uh like a medium bookshelf that can
1444s	be attached to the wall actually we have
1445s	it on the little side room there is it
1447s	uh it's on the other side sorry go
1450s	behind that way yeah and then hang a
1452s	left at the elephants
1453s	oh yeah we also have elephants oh yeah
1456s	uh I know that everyone's gonna get
1458s	really excited but the elephants are not
1460s	a mount they are a follower
1462s	um we did have a mount lined up for this
1464s	chapter but I believe that did get
1466s	pushed off to the next chapter so
1468s	unfortunately you'll have to wait a bit
1469s	longer for that
1471s	yeah and here are the bookshelves
1474s	oh oh the smell very excited about the
1476s	snake yeah yeah
1477s	so yeah
1478s	um and yeah these are bookshelves uh
1481s	they attach to the wall but they have
1483s	um like they cycle through a bunch of
1486s	different styles and which you can see
1487s	like in the placement preview you have a
1490s	long route oh
1492s	this one
1493s	no go uh copy the bookshelf oh I copied
1496s	the wall yeah
1499s	so yeah then when you go to the
1500s	placement preview like you'll see
1502s	uh it Cycles
1504s	it's a little I can probably get in
1506s	place right now
1508s	anyway so like there's like four
1510s	different styles of the uh bookshelf so
1513s	that way again like it it will randomly
1515s	like Place one depending on yeah as you
1518s	place the mail so that way again it
1520s	doesn't look repetitive it looks like a
1521s	full like Library uh we just want to
1523s	make it look make sure it looks good
1524s	yeah yeah so yeah go ahead and mess with
1527s	your gold stuff if you want to uh while
1528s	we like talk uh talk about things so
1530s	yeah right now we're setting up for like
1531s	we're going to be showing a couple uh
1534s	examples of purges uh we have
1536s	uh we'll start with like a low level
1538s	Purge uh and then we're gonna kick it up
1539s	several notches and go with a maximum
1542s	difficulty Purge uh and just see how we
1545s	fare with that yeah I'm just gonna be
1546s	the cameraman here like I said we've got
1548s	a couple clan members and uh and
1550s	thrall's here to fight for a little
1552s	while uh we'll see how long they last I
1555s	hope that all of our clan members have
1557s	placed bed rolls as well or beds oh yeah
1559s	that's a good that's a very good call
1561s	actually they have a minute to do that
1562s	if uh
1564s	if they have not done that yet
1566s	so
1567s	uh I'm gonna show you guys the process
1569s	of just going through a purge as well so
1571s	the treasure cough roll like now will
1573s	unlock at level 20. so once you learn to
1575s	make it you can just put it down where
1578s	you want the purge to be targeted
1580s	The Purge will always come after your
1583s	treasure they are no longer here to just
1585s	destroy your buildings some building
1587s	destruction may happen however their
1589s	main goal is to take the money away that
1591s	you've put in the chest
1593s	so we're gonna need some money
1597s	we'll just use some gold coins to make
1599s	it quick
1603s	and when I open I'll open this UI first
1605s	so there's there's actually kind of two
1607s	uis associated with this there's the
1608s	inventory on the chest itself
1610s	and then before you guys could see The
1612s	Ledger on the on the uh the treasure
1615s	when you speak to them now it'll pop up
1617s	like this so there's kind of two new
1619s	sections first it'll tell you how much
1620s	money is in your Coffer and it'll tell
1623s	you how threatening The Purge will be if
1625s	you choose to do a purge
1627s	so we'll stick all our gold coins in the
1630s	chest
1631s	and you'll now see that that The Purge
1634s	is available and it's Threat Level three
1636s	I think I need to take out a
1638s	thousand coins or maybe one thousand
1640s	yeah so now we're at Threat Level Two
1641s	and that goes up to ten right now um we
1644s	might make it scale higher later we're
1647s	not really sure we kind of need to get
1649s	some of that testing in on the on the on
1650s	the beta server and see how everyone
1652s	fares with the highest difficulty Purge
1654s	and how we need to rebalance what we
1656s	have now if at all uh level 10 perch is
1659s	pretty intense right now I would say
1660s	yeah it's pretty wild we've been doing a
1662s	lot of like play testing internally to
1664s	try to get uh like a squash bugs and
1666s	identify like stuff but also like
1668s	get the feel for it like yeah we're
1670s	fighting a horde of dudes like is it fun
1671s	like that's the whole point you know
1672s	we've been we've been testing The Purge
1674s	together multiple times a week and every
1676s	time something new comes together it's
1678s	like a totally different experience
1681s	um so before I start The Purge two I'm
1683s	going to give a couple little um like
1684s	disclaimers
1685s	the verses that when we intended to
1687s	launch this chapter uh initially we were
1691s	going to have a lot of Siege equipment
1693s	attacking you
1694s	um like we wanted to have a lot of
1695s	different varied types of attacks that
1697s	will come and and knock stuff down we do
1699s	still have various different
1701s	compositions in the waves and there will
1703s	be certain random events that happen so
1705s	one that you're likely to see is like a
1706s	prisoner wave where a lot of like really
1709s	poorly geared ill-equipped enemies will
1711s	come and they they're more like a like a
1713s	circling Rush of enemies than uh you
1716s	know well-trained Fighters and the idea
1718s	is just that they're the prisoners that
1720s	the stygians have accrued as they've
1721s	been passing through the exiled lens
1723s	so we do have varied waves like that but
1726s	the enemy base won't be spawning Siege
1727s	equipment yet we are planning to release
1730s	that in chapter three
1732s	um so what you get right here isn't
1733s	where the purge ends we are going to
1735s	continue working on the feature into the
1737s	next chapter and release more content
1738s	with it in chapter three but the
1740s	mechanics are here in chapter one
1743s	so that being said you've got your
1745s	Coffer you've got your money you've got
1747s	some walls and some guys to defend it
1748s	what we're going to do now is Proclaim
1751s	our wealth to the world and when you do
1752s	that you'll get some feedback and it's
1754s	going to tell you if you do this the
1756s	stygian Army is going to come to your
1757s	door
1759s	so our defenses are ready let's just let
1761s	it go and immediately what you'll see is
1764s	that the status changed to scouting on
1766s	this page this will go through a couple
1768s	different states and if for some reason
1770s	the purge can't start it'll give you
1771s	feedback and tell you what is wrong so
1773s	for anyone that's worried about like
1775s	what if I build my base in some place
1776s	that the The Purge can't attack me or
1778s	the enemy is going to spawn inside no it
1780s	just will tell you that we cannot do the
1782s	purge because of the position and you
1784s	need to mix up your base a little bit in
1786s	order to get it back
1787s	so now as the purge is scouting what
1790s	it's doing in the back end is looking
1791s	for a place to put a new base for the
1793s	stygians to attack from
1794s	momentarily here we should see a forward
1796s	operating base spawn
1798s	and there will be some spawners for
1800s	enemies to come out of there there will
1802s	be cages and loot
1804s	and all that stuff
1807s	will just come out of the camp and
1809s	attack the base
1812s	so now we already have our first waves
1814s	of enemies coming in
1817s	they will try to beat down and get
1819s	through the doors if there are doors
1821s	that they can't pass through but they're
1822s	kind of trying to find a path through
1824s	through doorways to get to where they
1825s	need to get to
1827s	and one other disclaimer in this build
1830s	we have a few too many of the Demolisher
1833s	characters and if you see these stydians
1835s	that have like the old metcumosis
1836s	stygian kind of religious stuff on those
1839s	are demolishers and whenever they get to
1841s	the door they will pull out a battering
1843s	ram
1844s	and now they're going to take a few
1846s	whacks at the door and try to knock the
1848s	door down to get through it
1851s	unless they get stunned if you actually
1853s	hit them
1854s	they won't be able to get through
1858s	and because this is a level two or yeah
1860s	level two Purge Threat Level Two and our
1863s	our team here is pretty geared up
1864s	they're just gonna start uh you know
1867s	mowing these guys down it's going to be
1868s	a little harder for them to get through
1869s	to the end especially when we've got
1871s	those Berserkers uh in in God breaker
1874s	waiting on the other side
1879s	but if you don't pay attention and they
1881s	do get through they'll actually come to
1883s	the chest and take the coins out of the
1885s	chest
1886s	and then try to carry the treasure back
1888s	to their base if you stop them like you
1891s	interrupt them if you deal some damage
1892s	to them they'll drop it and try to fight
1894s	back so you have a chance to pick it up
1896s	and take it back
1898s	yeah some folks in chat are noting the
1900s	door went down pretty fast the
1901s	demolishers are no joke like they are
1904s	they're like basically like Melee Siege
1907s	specials with a bunch of extra health so
1908s	like they're a little slower once they
1910s	have like their battering ram out but
1911s	like vacant knock down tier one
1914s	foundations and tier one stuff like
1916s	within like two hits yeah and you'll see
1919s	some behavior and stuff like that that
1921s	we're still working on in the server uh
1923s	on this build I believe this is also an
1925s	EU server so we probably actually have a
1927s	little bit higher latency uh this should
1929s	be this should be this is the play test
1931s	server yeah yeah okay okay then never
1933s	mind that
1937s	another change of The Purge is like
1939s	we'll be able to uh run multiple purges
1942s	on any server right now so
1945s	currently
1947s	on live you can only have one purge
1949s	active at a time it wouldn't be possible
1950s	for two to be run at once but we've
1952s	lifted that restriction so people can do
1955s	purges at their own basis simultaneously
1957s	on the same server
1960s	there's a quick question about Purge
1961s	location can you enable a purge by like
1964s	Noob River you can do the purge anywhere
1966s	now there's no restriction it's wherever
1968s	you want it to be because you're asking
1969s	for it to come to you you can put it
1971s	wherever you want and that's kind of a
1973s	similar a similar thing I should also
1974s	mention is that they
1978s	they don't spawn different types of
1980s	Purge based on where you are now
1982s	it's just randomized whenever The Purge
1984s	starts so if you're going after like a
1986s	certain kind of fall or something it'll
1988s	be randomized but we did make an effort
1990s	to make sure that all of the unique like
1992s	named thralls that you could get
1993s	previously from the old Purge you can
1995s	still get from the new one and some of
1998s	them will come in waves and some of them
1999s	will come in cages at the end as well
2003s	um the purges are stygians at their core
2006s	and that's like the framework for The
2007s	Purge the whole idea is that the stygian
2009s	Army is moving through the Exile lands
2011s	and along the way they collect some
2013s	people as well so they might have some
2015s	Acer that come in or you know
2017s	nordheimers that fight by their side
2018s	they might have those prisoners that
2020s	they took they might have Catan with
2022s	them things like that
2023s	um just kind of stragglers that they've
2024s	picked up along the way
2026s	but at their core it's always stygen the
2028s	further and further you go into
2029s	difficulty the more stitching it becomes
2031s	actually so in the very beginning it's
2033s	less stygians there's a rule for design
2036s	and Exiles that there are no levels so a
2039s	stygian fighter is a stygian fighter and
2042s	we have to have less of them in the
2043s	early waves because they would utterly
2046s	demolish you they just have too much
2047s	health and deal too much damage so we
2049s	did a little bit of magic with their
2051s	weapons to try to make them scale a
2052s	little better so it's a little more
2053s	friendly at the lower levels
2055s	and now here this is essentially
2057s	signaling the finale
2059s	uh where the commander will come out of
2061s	the tent
2062s	there's a unique NPC here
2064s	and he still has waves that come with
2066s	him as well and once um
2069s	once that character comes out I'm just
2071s	realizing that pop-up has the wrong text
2072s	but once that character comes out the
2075s	hand of War
2076s	it's a two skull boss you fight him get
2079s	some extra loot from him and then you
2080s	can start to pillage this camp
2085s	monsters or animals in The Purge is an
2088s	option for us I don't think that we have
2090s	any coming out with it right now but
2092s	they should be a lot less in general
2093s	like I think we actually might have like
2096s	the Beast there's like a Beastmaster or
2097s	a Hound Master character that has uh one
2100s	of the special encounters that can occur
2102s	is that they spawn and have a lot of
2104s	like wolves that will fight with them
2107s	um so they'll come but it won't be like
2109s	a full-on like alligator Purge or
2111s	anything like that
2112s	it's all kind of smaller encounters uh
2115s	alongside that stygian skeleton
2117s	uh one of the other questions that I saw
2119s	just really quick was um you know what
2121s	if I make a base with no doors well the
2122s	so The Purge is like what they want is
2125s	your treasure and they'll take the
2126s	quickest path to your treasure so like
2128s	if you don't have doors they'll just go
2129s	through the doorways and try to make a
2132s	beeline towards your Coffer basically to
2134s	then steal treasure and then try to loot
2136s	it and then walk back to the forward
2138s	operating base here with your loot
2139s	here's a little Loop preview as well
2141s	some of the stuff that's in here and
2142s	we'll talk more about the loot a little
2144s	bit later as well but we've done a
2145s	really big update to the distribution of
2148s	loot so the things that you find are
2151s	more appropriate for the things that
2153s	you're defeating or interacting with or
2154s	looting is typically more more aimed at
2158s	their culture or
2160s	the equipment that they actually have on
2162s	things like that
2164s	yeah and then we'll go more into overall
2167s	loot stuff in a bit later this stream as
2169s	well the the loot in the end here is
2171s	kind of intended to help you kind of try
2173s	to recover a little bit from any damage
2175s	that might have been done it might have
2176s	some food in it for you to be able to
2178s	feed your thralls so you've got some
2180s	some easier upkeep on them
2182s	it has some equipment yeah there's a lot
2185s	of stuff that you can get just from The
2186s	Purge that will help you keep purging
2188s	again uh yeah but the thing Andy just
2191s	asked about too if there's no doors one
2194s	of the points of feedback that you'll
2195s	get is that there's no path to the
2197s	Coffer so you do actually have to have a
2199s	set of doorways that can be you know you
2202s	can actually have lead to the Coffer
2204s	that you could follow that path and get
2206s	there otherwise The Purge will pull out
2208s	yeah if it's blocked completely then
2210s	yeah they'll just be like we can't get
2211s	to it
2213s	people are also asking like during the
2214s	purge like oh what if I just remove the
2216s	doors and build a wall instead like can
2217s	I just do that it'll cancel yeah and
2220s	it'll tell you to it'll say that there's
2221s	no path to the coffer and
2225s	similarly like if something happens and
2228s	The Siege enemies happen to destroy the
2231s	path for some reason because there will
2232s	be multiple types of Siege enemies later
2234s	on and right now the Demolisher when
2237s	they get to the chest they don't loot
2238s	stuff they just start smashing uh if
2241s	they destroyed the path and they can't
2242s	reach the chest it will also pull out
2244s	and say that they can't get they can't
2245s	get to the loot anymore
2247s	uh and yeah The Purge doesn't like
2249s	elevators you have to have a grounded
2250s	basic none of your like crazy Sky bases
2252s	will uh be purgeable I guess yep yeah
2256s	and like you know I I see some comments
2258s	here like you know what if I do this
2259s	what if I do that like you know you can
2261s	if you want like uh you're just kind of
2265s	I guess it's like
2268s	if you want to cancel The Purge early
2269s	you can it's just your your
2271s	shortchanging yourself of the rewards I
2274s	guess so like yeah like if you if you
2276s	want to block a doorway or just like put
2277s	up a bunch of stuff
2279s	to prevent them from coming after you
2281s	yeah I mean you can't build during a
2283s	purge anyway but like yeah if you block
2284s	the if you block the entrance way and
2286s	The Purge cancels yeah that's we're okay
2288s	with that
2289s	and here we happen to get one of the
2291s	well currently the only unique NPC
2293s	coming in the end of the age of uh War
2296s	chapter two as well
2298s	um whenever you free these these uh
2301s	followers from cages so just to
2303s	backtrack a little bit when you kill
2304s	that that character the hand of war that
2306s	has keys uh he has keys on his chest
2308s	called Commander's keys and you can use
2311s	that to loot all the stuff that's in
2312s	this Camp so you need a key to open the
2313s	chest you need a key to open the cages
2316s	and one of the fault throwers or
2319s	throwers one of the followers you can
2321s	release is uh eastgard the sell sword
2324s	and
2326s	we've actually made an entirely new
2327s	trade system for this as well
2329s	so this character is a mercenary they
2333s	have resources that you can use to fuel
2335s	your War Machine more so you can take
2337s	some of that gold you had bring it back
2339s	to this character and you know buy buy
2342s	some more stuff to keep pushing forward
2344s	and there's a lot of you know
2345s	siege-oriented stuff in here we're still
2348s	working on this stuff as well too so
2350s	some stuff might get removed or added in
2352s	the process
2353s	but it also brings us to this uh new
2356s	mechanic the mercenary banners
2357s	and I'll just get like one of these out
2360s	because they're all kind of the same but
2362s	in the trade menu you can see what
2363s	something costs and how much you have
2365s	we've set this up in such a way that you
2367s	could add any item to that to be the the
2370s	requirement to trade so if I wanted that
2372s	to cost hearts of a hero to trade it
2374s	could cost 10 hearts of a hero if we
2375s	wanted it to be glowing goop we could
2377s	put glowing goop in there whatever but
2380s	after you trade for that thing you get
2381s	the item in your inventory
2383s	um and this is something that is made to
2385s	be used with the purge
2387s	so uh if you are having trouble pushing
2391s	into those higher difficulties of The
2393s	Purge and you've got a lot of followers
2395s	and you've got friends and you're having
2396s	trouble getting up in the difficulty in
2398s	waves and you want to go higher uh one
2400s	of the options is to buy these banners
2403s	and when you place one of these banners
2404s	down it will give you additional
2406s	Fighters that will fight until they run
2408s	out of health or until some period of
2410s	time
2412s	expires
2414s	and you can place those you know pretty
2416s	much anywhere on land claim is the idea
2418s	so more guys to fight in your War
2421s	now what I'm gonna do is I'm just going
2423s	to dismantle this guy
2425s	and I'm gonna go start another Purge
2427s	that's the higher level one so
2430s	our our clan here is going to have a
2432s	harder time
2434s	beating through this yeah no they're
2437s	lovely thrallowers
2438s	yeah I see chat pictures yeah they they
2441s	uh they will not interfere with the
2444s	thrall cap I believe that you should be
2446s	able to just spawn them no matter what
2447s	so here we'll Proclaim our wealth to the
2450s	world again and get another Purge oh and
2453s	then for uh for a point of reference
2454s	also Threat Level X or ten is the
2457s	current maximum level that The Purge
2459s	supports
2461s	yeah if you don't have any treasure or
2463s	never put a dress down chest down you'll
2464s	never get a purge that little dialogue
2466s	system I just went through you have to
2469s	do that to start The Purge otherwise it
2470s	will never come for your base
2473s	and then the um the camps themselves are
2476s	built dynamically based on your base
2478s	location or more accurately your Coffer
2480s	location I guess so uh it it shouldn't
2483s	really matter where geographically in
2485s	the map or which map you're on like
2486s	it'll just try to pick a valid location
2488s	near your base uh and then start sending
2490s	enemies uh that way uh there might be a
2493s	couple select locations where a base
2495s	might not want to spawn even if uh if it
2497s	seems like flat land uh and that's those
2500s	are areas that we're trying to identify
2501s	uh during the beta period so please let
2503s	us know uh I've heard you know stuff
2506s	like the aqueducts for example where no
2508s	build areas could cause things so we
2510s	just want to make sure uh that stuff's
2513s	all working so please let us know but
2514s	otherwise yeah it's all dynamic
2516s	yeah there's there's no current Banner
2518s	cap but there is an exclusion radius on
2520s	them similar to like a religious altar
2522s	so you can't put too many of them too
2523s	close together
2530s	go ahead Nicole uh people are asking if
2533s	you can knock these guys out or if you
2534s	have to oh are they throwable they are
2536s	throwable yep every single uh is there a
2539s	limit to which ones you can or can't
2541s	throw or if all of them it's the same as
2542s	the old Purge I could knock out anyone
2544s	from it you wanted to that's awesome me
2546s	I guess the commander probably can't be
2548s	thrown I think that would be the only
2549s	restriction uh that character that boss
2551s	character at the end
2553s	uh we've got a guy going through the
2554s	door here
2555s	oh show off the The Cauldron oh yeah uh
2559s	there's new cauldrons so here I guess we
2561s	have fire cauldrons here we have new
2563s	fire and oil cauldrons
2566s	uh it's gonna be hard for me to hit
2567s	because our Crosshair is turned off oh
2568s	you can zoom in if you want to try oh
2571s	nice yeah
2572s	that's you know some new defenses
2576s	um we also have a new way that you can
2577s	place uh guards at doorways and I'll
2579s	show you guys that after this as well
2582s	um we're working on some more stuff too
2583s	in in the next chapter
2586s	we're we're almost done with the thing
2588s	that'll let you place archers
2589s	essentially as turrets so when you put
2591s	them down they will not move uh from
2593s	where they're at they will just shoot
2594s	their arrows but again not in chapter
2597s	two and that will come later
2600s	yeah that's that's going to be a really
2602s	nice quality of life uh update also yes
2604s	getting archers that don't just like
2606s	Frolic off to try to fight some
2608s	something off in the distance yeah we've
2610s	lost a buddy oh no no my goon
2616s	my guy
2620s	one of the big things we're working on
2621s	in the beta period too is that uh some
2624s	stuff right now is getting stuck in
2625s	walls like this like yeah yeah they get
2628s	knocked into it and then they fail to
2630s	act so you'd have to open the doors or
2631s	have the doors destroyed for him to be
2633s	able to go further but uh that's a thing
2635s	that we're actively working on
2643s	yeah people are people will be excited
2644s	for that so yeah the uh the update
2648s	itself is currently in beta testing
2650s	right now on the public beta uh I posted
2653s	the um patch notes in chat right now uh
2656s	if you want to play on the public beta
2657s	all you got to do is open your steam
2659s	client and go look for Conan Exiles
2661s	public beta
2663s	uh it's just like a separate uh install
2665s	that you make basically just like
2667s	installing the game a second time and
2669s	then you can uh that'll give you direct
2671s	access to the new build uh and you can
2674s	you can play from there and then you can
2675s	uh hit us up on the forums and let us
2677s	know uh what your feedback is what your
2679s	thoughts are leave any bugs uh I have to
2681s	make some updates to the forums actually
2682s	to try and split up uh public test
2685s	comments and also patch or bug reports
2688s	but I'll see if I can do that this week
2690s	they got through wave one but there has
2692s	certainly been some casualties yeah I
2694s	know my guy
2696s	CSU yeah this is a level 10 Purge
2699s	um a lot of dudes come so uh not only
2702s	are there just like regular I guess
2705s	regular dudes uh with with uh various
2709s	weapons there's there's waves of Pike
2710s	man like Catan head Headhunters come at
2713s	you I think there's the four mentioned
2715s	prisoner Rush where they're just like
2717s	uh it's just a
2720s	a bunch of fodder just like rushes your
2722s	base and it's awesome to just like cut
2724s	slots through them so that's a lot of
2725s	fun and of course the bosses and the
2726s	demolishers come through too
2728s	uh but it's it's quite a few waves in uh
2731s	a lot of enemies pop up and they hit
2733s	pretty hard especially the Pikeman
2735s	because they have the the uh they calls
2738s	headston and so you can get you can get
2740s	cornered really easily if you're not
2741s	careful
2747s	that's a lot of Pikes there's a snake
2751s	Here Comes there's the snake yeah
2753s	someone's asking fervently in chat like
2755s	oh my God is the snake a pet the snake
2757s	yes it is a pet yeah
2760s	what's the benefit of a higher level
2762s	Purge well a it's the challenge like
2764s	some people want to play a game for the
2765s	challenge and so uh it's just it's just
2768s	more dudes that are harder to fight and
2770s	so if you want to like really test your
2771s	medal or if you have like really good
2773s	gear or some really good thralls you
2774s	just want to like Hack and Slash and
2777s	spill some blood that's the point also
2778s	the rewards are better yep
2781s	so there yeah like with with higher
2784s	level purges like you you get better
2785s	rewards at the end or like higher level
2786s	uh like followers to rescue uh and of
2789s	course there's unique items that you can
2791s	only get through the purge as well just
2793s	the um so is the mercenary Captain
2795s	that's not a guaranteed spawn is it
2798s	no he's not guaranteed it is a pretty
2800s	high chance so you'll probably see it
2802s	however in chapter three however there
2805s	will be sorry uh again another another
2809s	system no I know Ryan Hollinger fans in
2811s	here just me
2813s	so
2814s	I don't know I'm sorry there's that that
2816s	Captain that you can rescue from the the
2818s	camp in chapter three we'll have another
2820s	system coming that you will have a way
2823s	to call them to your base at will so I'm
2826s	not going to give any details on that
2827s	now I don't think we've talked about it
2829s	much yet uh but that's coming in chapter
2831s	three I don't want to get anyone
2832s	confused about what's in this patch and
2834s	what's not
2838s	very prudent so how we doing how's how's
2840s	our
2842s	how's our followers and our and our
2843s	helpers doing here
2846s	no puppy
2850s	yeah they're brutal
2854s	and those big guys are those are those
2856s	demolishers okay cool gotcha you can
2859s	tell they're they're a lot beefier than
2861s	the other guys so yeah they carry the
2862s	killer big guy yeah
2866s	um
2867s	I'd like to get to the point where they
2868s	always have the ram out so you can
2870s	always see that they're a guy from even
2872s	far away if there's no scale reference
2873s	or anything uh Demolisher from far away
2877s	but yeah our uh our godbreaker thralls
2880s	are following uh following falling uh
2884s	their defenses are waning and
2886s	the stygians are making it to the
2888s	treasure room now
2889s	and then you can see them actually like
2891s	making out with the loot so you'll see
2892s	them actually like physically like
2893s	they'll be like yeah we got to the loot
2895s	and then they'll start like carrying
2896s	around yeah either bet like they'll
2898s	stuff as much gold into their bags as
2899s	they can or like if you have like a
2901s	heroic treasure for example like the big
2902s	lemarine statues they'll start carrying
2904s	that around too yeah so these
2906s	demolishers are
2908s	they won't steal like I said the
2910s	demolishers will just start to try to
2911s	destroy stuff once they get there
2914s	um so
2915s	you know if a normal guy gets through
2917s	he'll pick up the treasure and take it
2919s	away but the demolishers are just going
2920s	to try to smash stuff
2926s	here we go this update's gonna be coming
2928s	out like at the same time it's I write
2931s	the same day as in sorry PC Xbox and
2934s	Playstation are all gonna get it
2936s	at the same time that's the that's the
2938s	plan yeah yeah I mean unless there's
2940s	like some freak unforeseen I mean knock
2942s	on wood unless there's some issue like
2943s	with cert or something like that that
2944s	prevents us from deploying on consoles
2946s	the the intent is that it should release
2948s	on all available platforms at the same
2950s	time yes yeah so you can see I hear the
2953s	demolishers are uh
2955s	uh they're just blowing [ __ ] up now
2957s	they're just in they're having a good
2958s	time like they're like nah we're not
2959s	here for gold they just want to smash
2960s	stuff which honestly I uh yeah big mood
2963s	like I I really uh
2966s	uh that that's
2968s	mine
2969s	uh
2970s	plot pattern just angabunga destroy
2973s	everything whack had Aston chat uh if
2975s	what happens if they destroy the copper
2976s	it will cause The Purge to end so we're
2979s	gonna be trying to avoid it and you know
2981s	try to make sure they don't destroy it
2983s	but you can see like in this case they
2984s	destroyed the foundation that it was
2985s	sitting on so in about in about 30
2988s	seconds or so it'll actually cancel and
2990s	say that they couldn't find their way to
2991s	the treasure anymore or that the copper
2993s	was destroyed so
2995s	so now the perch will pull out but
2997s	you've effectively lost at this point
2999s	yeah they just want to get the loot from
3000s	the camp you know you've only lost yeah
3003s	yeah they just yeah they'll murder the
3005s	guy if uh if given the opportunity to so
3007s	you definitely want to make sure that
3008s	you keep him protected as best as you
3010s	can
3011s	uh another thing that we're working on
3013s	is the like all the characters that
3015s	we're adding in this chapter are are
3016s	eventually going to be fully voice acted
3018s	like we unfortunately had an issue in
3021s	our our La uh Studio where we do voice
3023s	recording where we weren't able to get
3025s	people in for a week and it made us miss
3026s	the deadline so I think that we'll
3028s	probably have some voice coming out in a
3030s	hotfix uh for all the dialogue that
3032s	comes with all the new NPCs as well yeah
3034s	that's a bummer oh well
3036s	uh the Guard Station well since we've
3038s	lost our Purge now uh you know I really
3040s	would I would love to see someone carry
3042s	away the treasure
3044s	um maybe our clan can start a new Purge
3046s	and just get rid of all of our followers
3048s	and let them Waltz in and carry the
3049s	treasure out sure you can see what it
3050s	looks like
3051s	uh if you just get rid of all the guards
3053s	and start a purge of whatever yeah let
3055s	them walk in pick the treasure up and
3056s	carry it out while I show off the uh the
3059s	guard placement over here
3061s	one sec sorry I mean you're fine um you
3063s	should open your inventory to show
3064s	there's no Purge meter anymore oh yeah
3066s	true
3068s	so it's just literally not there just
3070s	took it off
3071s	it's gone same way yeah any references
3075s	to it that would have been relevant
3076s	before that stuff is just all gone so uh
3079s	so this is the way
3081s	the new
3082s	um guard stations will work and and this
3084s	will be the same for The Archers when
3086s	they come out you'll have a certain
3088s	building type or item that you can place
3090s	down and you can kind of designate it as
3092s	a point to guard for a follower so now
3095s	if we come down to this doorway we can
3097s	see there's kind of this ghost image on
3099s	here and we can snap the follower into
3101s	those ghost images so now he will stand
3103s	and guard to this door and he will only
3106s	stray a certain distance from it before
3107s	coming back to continue guarding that
3109s	doorway
3111s	um
3111s	and that that'll be that'll kind of
3113s	override like thrall nearness placement
3115s	as well so you won't have to worry about
3118s	them being too close together if you've
3119s	got the door frames together like that
3122s	um and like I said we have one coming
3124s	for Archers for that later on
3127s	um I think that that's like the thing
3129s	I'm waiting for most because it kind of
3131s	turns the The Purge into a little bit
3132s	more of a tower defense where you can
3134s	put a big row of archers up and just you
3136s	know smack stuff from the bottom
3141s	AO
3144s	but yeah that's uh just just to clarify
3146s	also the Archer replacement thing is not
3147s	uh that won't be uh in time for uh
3150s	shipping chapter two
3153s	someone asked if they can emote and chat
3154s	so yes they can yes
3157s	and uh if they get attacked they'll exit
3159s	the emo just fight and then come back
3163s	um
3164s	what else am I missing about this uh
3166s	anything I think let me let's check the
3168s	thing I mean yeah we yeah basically like
3171s	the main points that we went we wanted
3172s	to cover with like the big perjury work
3174s	is that uh a the big points are fully
3177s	opt-in no longer a random thing you have
3180s	total control over
3181s	when you want to activate the purge and
3185s	then it scales up with like your your
3186s	Coffer value and also uh I think also
3188s	with like number of like players in
3190s	vicinity or other people have been
3191s	active in in the encounter so there's a
3194s	lot of rules in the background but yeah
3195s	The Purge will be difficult the more
3196s	players you have it will be more
3198s	difficult the more followers you have as
3200s	well so if you've got it really stacked
3202s	base with 10 people and a bunch of
3203s	followers it's going to spawn more
3205s	enemies to try to match that up as well
3208s	yeah eventually and then these uh these
3210s	NPCs will actually uh try to path all
3213s	the way back to their base and then once
3214s	uh once that's done then yeah the the uh
3217s	well had a bad day yeah not not having a
3220s	great day
3221s	uh yeah yeah then the the value is
3223s	deducted from your uh Coffer totals and
3226s	uh you can't recover it
3230s	can yeah but you can kill them so like
3232s	while they're while they're walking
3233s	around they are obviously very
3234s	vulnerable and so you can like if you
3237s	have the breathing room or time like you
3238s	can you can definitely uh chase after
3241s	them and kill them and they'll drop the
3243s	they'll drop the treasures and then you
3245s	can pick it up again if it's uh if it's
3247s	just like a treasure bag that they're
3248s	holding with like gold coins or or gold
3249s	bars that'll go straight to your
3250s	inventory but any of like the big
3252s	Treasures like the Lemurian statue or
3254s	that Treasure Chest that you saw uh will
3256s	have to be manually uh carried back to
3258s	your base uh
3262s	the lands IRS oh God yeah yeah it's time
3266s	to pay your taxes yeah yeah
3268s	I'm kind of bummed we didn't see it here
3270s	yet but uh yeah like Andy said if they
3272s	pick up loot from inside your chest it
3274s	turns into one of those big treasure
3275s	bags that we put in the teasers and
3276s	stuff like that
3278s	uh that they carry out in their hands
3281s	does The Purge notify the whole server
3284s	or just the clan just the clan
3287s	and uh you can like
3289s	if you're on a PVE server and you want
3291s	to do a purge with people that are in a
3293s	claim and not have to join their Clan it
3295s	will still continue to scale on your
3298s	engagement with it so as long as you
3300s	come in and you actually participate in
3302s	The Purge it will scale with you but if
3303s	you're just observing you're not an
3305s	active participant or something it won't
3306s	scale um
3309s	do we need to move on a hurry with time
3311s	uh I think we're I think we're doing
3313s	fine I mean it's 11 40 right now so
3315s	we're running a little bit low on time
3317s	so I think it might be a good time to go
3320s	over some of the uh additional like
3322s	gameplay changes that are coming uh with
3324s	the update and then
3325s	uh
3326s	uh hopefully we can show off some of the
3328s	cool visual stuff as well and I guess
3329s	like
3330s	um like if you if you need the jet then
3332s	we can we can just like take over for a
3334s	little while and show off a couple extra
3336s	things and answer questions if we need
3337s	uh with what time that we have we can't
3339s	stay too long but
3341s	um I think we'll be fine with like
3342s	writing running a few minutes after it
3344s	if you're okay with that Nicole like if
3345s	Dennis you need to get going no problem
3347s	yeah
3349s	all right then on to the loot stuff
3351s	probably yeah yes yeah let's talk about
3353s	that yeah so
3354s	um we have a kind of set of
3357s	issues that we wanted to address with
3359s	Luke
3360s	um the first was just that Luke's kind
3362s	of boring like when we go into camps and
3365s	loot the chest in there we're getting
3366s	like a lot of plant fiber and you know
3369s	like really boring like Stone materials
3371s	that aren't very helpful from like high
3372s	level like I go to the volcanoes yeah
3374s	yeah why do I need this yeah so that was
3376s	an issue
3377s	um it doesn't always make sense either
3378s	like why does a Sumerian drop a bone
3380s	club and uh the camps on exiled lands
3385s	because they were made first are
3387s	generally a little more boring compared
3389s	to the ones on Septa
3391s	um where in SEPTA you can find like an
3393s	ax leaning up against a stone bench and
3396s	take the ax and that can be your weapon
3398s	now so
3400s	um we also had an issue with legendary
3402s	chest breaking progression so
3404s	if you're really you know you kill a
3406s	world boss early on you get that key
3408s	from it and then you loot it you get
3410s	some really crazy loot that you
3412s	shouldn't have at a lower level
3414s	so with all that in mind uh we wanted to
3417s	make loot actually worthwhile
3419s	so now
3421s	uh you can dismantle things a lot of
3423s	stuff for a higher return rate than you
3425s	would have gotten previously and rating
3427s	camps is more rewarding from the
3429s	materials that you get as a result
3431s	and those materials that you get from
3433s	reading the camps is more on par
3435s	um with you know Gathering them from the
3437s	world using tools as well
3439s	so
3441s	um
3443s	let me just go check I want to make sure
3444s	I hit all my bullet points yeah yeah no
3446s	worries no worries um NPC drops now have
3448s	a chance of dropping their actual worn
3450s	equipment so if you see a weapon or
3452s	armor on a character there's a chance it
3453s	will actually drop it
3456s	camps have better more interesting and
3458s	usable loot so you'll never find those
3461s	the the plant fiber or stone in a chest
3463s	ever again they'll be much more
3465s	contextualized for instance like if you
3467s	rated darfuri Camp you will get darfuri
3469s	loot from those chests
3471s	we're also working on adding new visuals
3473s	for the chest that will show the
3475s	potential quality of the items inside
3478s	there so those won't be in the public
3480s	way to build if you get them today we're
3481s	still receiving those final assets still
3483s	so you'll see some shinier chests in the
3485s	future and I think it'll be included in
3486s	some of our marketing material coming
3488s	forth before the update as well
3490s	and various interactables can now be
3492s	found in some of the camps and like I
3494s	said it was already the case in SEPTA
3496s	but now you can find those things in
3497s	exiled lands as well so if you see a
3499s	neat helmet sitting on a bench you can
3500s	probably pick that helmet up and take it
3505s	all right just real quick about the The
3507s	Purge it works whether you're Clan or
3509s	solo I saw some questions about that the
3511s	second thing was that um the value of
3513s	carry treasures and placehars has been
3515s	rebalanced that's true yes
3518s	um it didn't didn't make a lot of sense
3520s	to carry carry Treasures before because
3521s	of how difficult a task it was
3524s	um and with this change actually coming
3525s	in a lot of the intention of The Purge
3528s	is that you complete the purge and the
3531s	rewards that you get can fuel The Purge
3533s	further so you get stuff to do more war
3536s	right and that includes carry treasure
3538s	being dropped in that forward operating
3540s	base so whenever you get the the chest
3543s	that you can open or the
3545s	um
3546s	the cages that you can open for for
3548s	followers there may also be some very
3550s	heavy carry treasure in that camp that
3552s	will push you up toward the next tier of
3554s	difficulty and I think all the carry
3556s	Treasures now are worth five thousand
3558s	gold where before they were worth like
3559s	400 500 and we also actually bumped the
3563s	mid-tier uh treasure up in value as well
3566s	to kind of help you grind out those
3568s	difficulty tiers a little easier so
3570s	that'll be things like um
3573s	the the things the the lootable objects
3575s	you could find in world and put down in
3577s	your chest
3578s	um that kind of stuff will be worth more
3580s	in general inventory lootable I mean
3584s	um back to the rest of the loot though
3587s	um dungeons have also been updated a bit
3589s	to fit this new paradigm so the loot in
3591s	the dungeons is now more exciting and
3593s	the dungeons have had several tweaks
3596s	in order to make them more interesting
3597s	you'll find some more optional bosses uh
3601s	the loot drops have been adjusted from
3603s	the bosses there are some new traps and
3606s	new content to find in those dungeons as
3608s	well and
3610s	it is different than what was there
3612s	before in a lot of cases and the intent
3614s	really is for those dungeons to feel
3616s	more replayable as well new things to
3618s	experience new things to find
3620s	and a little quality of life change that
3623s	we made as well is that the library of
3625s	isoteric uh artifacts and the void Forge
3628s	no longer give you completely random
3631s	recipes they all come in order so if
3633s	you're taking those
3634s	um those fragments to those places to
3636s	unlock those recipes you'll know what
3639s	you're going to get if you happen to
3640s	have a list of it or if your friend
3642s	tells you I got this thing when I turned
3644s	in my second one you will also get that
3645s	when you turn in your second one
3648s	uh let's see
3651s	I'm gonna jump out here yeah yeah sorry
3654s	I just realized my screen wasn't sharing
3655s	so I could have done this the whole time
3657s	oh well yeah that's funny I guess we
3659s	could have done that oh well okay real
3662s	quick let's cut back in game yeah and I
3664s	want to show you guys my favorite part
3666s	of the whole update
3668s	um and for our clan mate friends that
3671s	are nearby uh maybe I should I'm not
3674s	gonna wait for them I'm gonna slow the
3676s	server down so I can show something
3678s	um which may may mess up our friends a
3681s	little bit oh there's Victory excellent
3683s	okay
3684s	so I'll just come down here and do it
3686s	and it's easiest to see with a big
3688s	weapon like this so
3690s	on live right now whenever you do an
3692s	attack like this
3694s	you're kind of you do that attack and
3696s	you're locked in that direction
3698s	so if you want to do an attack this way
3700s	and then you want to do an attack that
3701s	way it'll you know instantly rotate and
3703s	let you switch between attacks but this
3705s	means you have to guess the trajectory
3706s	of the enemy and the timing of your
3708s	attack to be able to hit them whenever
3710s	they're moving and you're trying to
3712s	swing at a moving Target for instance
3714s	so now I'm going to slow the server down
3716s	and show you what we've done in this
3717s	update
3720s	so it's very hard to read
3722s	so now whenever you do one of these
3724s	attacks you can actually hold forward
3726s	and redirect and change the direction of
3729s	the attack
3729s	and I cannot state
3732s	I like it can't be understated how much
3734s	better this makes the game feel
3737s	because now if someone's moving in front
3740s	of you even just a little bit you're not
3741s	going to miss with that short sword
3743s	attack it's very straightforward you
3745s	have the ability for a short period of
3747s	time during that wind up in the attack
3749s	to actually change your direction so
3751s	I'll do one more like slow motion one
3753s	here so you can see with most attacks
3755s	you can get about 90 degrees of rotation
3757s	before that damage box becomes active
3760s	and the point where damage starts to
3762s	happen is where we cut off the ability
3765s	to rotate
3767s	um so going back to normal speed
3770s	you'll see here
3772s	you know it's a very short period of
3774s	time but in that short period of time
3777s	I can I can definitely Orient the
3779s	direction of my attack a bit better yeah
3781s	just being able to adjust like mid-swing
3783s	even just like a little bit in that
3785s	windows it's really big it's really nice
3788s	yeah the way one of the designers put it
3790s	which I thought was really eloquent oh I
3792s	put a long short by accident whatever
3794s	was that the game just does what you
3796s	wanted to do now it does what you expect
3798s	it to do so it's a lot harder to miss
3800s	with attacks uh whenever you're playing
3803s	properly now if you're still missing
3805s	things out right you're not going to hit
3806s	it you still have to aim at the thing
3808s	you want to hit but now if I start
3810s	attacking this way and I want to hit my
3811s	friend with the shield I can actually
3813s	you know re-aim it and hit them
3816s	if I am used to this mouse sensitivity
3818s	it's a little high for me
3822s	there we go and no yeah so I saw in chat
3826s	also yeah the I mean Target lock is
3828s	still going to be a Thing If this just
3830s	helps you a little bit more for example
3832s	if you don't have a Target locked enemy
3834s	you're like need to like adjust on the
3836s	Fly especially like
3838s	in The Purge for example when you have
3839s	tons of dudes coming at you you may not
3841s	necessarily have time to do a lot of
3843s	Target Lop changes or anything like this
3846s	you just turn you can just turn off
3847s	Target log and then try to like adjust
3848s	uh as you as you need to if you're
3850s	playing um normal controls or sorry it's
3853s	on like controller sound movement but if
3855s	you're playing mouse and keyboard you
3856s	have to hold forward to be able to turn
3858s	that with this controller method
3860s	if you're playing with a Gamepad it'll
3861s	just automatically work because trying
3863s	like moving to face a direction
3865s	automatically kind of pushes you in that
3867s	direction so it'll just always rotate
3869s	toward what you're getting to
3870s	does this affect NPCs also it does yeah
3873s	yeah so that also means you know they
3876s	will have an easier time hitting you as
3877s	well we might run into some balance
3879s	issues there where we need to tone some
3881s	stuff down uh we actually found that the
3883s	the undead bosses and The Wine Cellar
3885s	were using the wrong weapon
3887s	uh and only when they could hit us
3889s	because we added this update like they
3891s	could hit us very consistently did we
3893s	realize because they were just doing
3894s	truckloads of damage and it was like
3896s	impossible to fight them
3899s	so yeah
3902s	uh let's see
3905s	what's the armor we're wearing this is
3907s	the intricate spite armor yeah that's
3908s	one of the new uh battle pass armors
3910s	now we can go we can go show off some of
3912s	the new stuff in uh just a little bit uh
3914s	since since you're on a tight schedule
3916s	and we're we're uh running out of
3918s	dentist time I just wanted to try so
3920s	quick I know right I just wanted to just
3922s	really quick uh uh get a couple uh
3925s	questions in from chat and then uh we
3928s	can let you go do what you need to do I
3930s	should probably talk about this stuff
3931s	real quick yeah yeah yeah yes and then
3933s	uh we'll try to collect questions and
3935s	then yes if we have some time for a few
3937s	we'll have Dennis answer and then I'll
3938s	try to answer uh whatever else we can
3940s	I'm gonna rattle off a few PVP or not
3942s	PVP but just like balance changes we
3944s	made that we'll probably have good
3946s	effect on PVP hopefully in a positive
3948s	way in a lot of uh situations
3951s	um we've reduced the effectiveness of
3952s	Steel food instead of being 33 so you
3955s	can only take a third of your health and
3957s	damage uh it's 25 now or sorry it was
3960s	25.
3962s	now you can die in four hits instead of
3964s	three which is backwards
3968s	sorry this is really hard for me to read
3971s	okay okay yeah sorry it was 25 so you
3975s	died in four hits now it's 33 so you can
3978s	die in three
3981s	um the duration of Last Stand has been
3983s	reduced as well from six seconds to
3985s	three
3986s	we have added a float curve to
3990s	bows and what this means is we can
3992s	reduce Arrow damage over the distance
3994s	they've traveled so right now it's it's
3996s	pretty uh forgiving in there like you
3999s	can shoot very far with an arrow but
4001s	that's a knob that we're looking to be
4002s	able to turn is to make the bow
4004s	effective range a bit lower because
4006s	right now there is no control over it
4008s	throwing orbs detonate immediately now
4011s	so no matter if you use heavier light it
4013s	will just blow up as soon as it hits the
4015s	ground
4016s	we've added a little bit more throwing
4018s	damage to javelins it says throwing
4021s	weapon on here too but I actually can't
4022s	remember if we did throwing weapons for
4024s	sure so you'll just have to check the
4025s	patch notes but the throw on a javelin
4027s	should be a lot more damaging now
4029s	uh this is a really big one God bubbles
4032s	are gone no more God bubbles if you're
4034s	playing on a PVP server and you'll need
4036s	your base to be protected you need to be
4037s	there to protect it if you or your
4040s	friends can't protect it you you may
4042s	risk losing that base
4045s	the thrall you know the the thralls that
4047s	you put up the defenses that you have is
4049s	going to have to be what stops the the
4051s	base from being destroyed
4053s	um
4053s	Siege damage we took avatars and made
4056s	them last 10 times longer and reduce
4057s	their damage 10 times as much so it's a
4060s	lot more defensible you know with the
4062s	removal of God bubbles we had to also
4063s	reduce the effectiveness of the Gods
4065s	themselves
4067s	uh let's see you can also cancel that
4070s	control so you don't have to sit in it
4071s	for the full uh 10 minutes and we've
4075s	also made trebuchets easier to build so
4077s	instead of taking like what is it like
4079s	30 minutes or something like that right
4081s	now per piece it's like five minutes per
4083s	piece and you can build uh trebuchets as
4085s	a offensive weapon a lot easier
4091s	let's see
4097s	oh my God Basco is silly
4101s	sorry I'm just reading Chad a little bit
4103s	right now
4105s	so yeah I did notice a bunch of comments
4107s	about like oh look what uh what's up
4109s	with the god bubbles
4110s	uh let's see oh uh do we need does
4113s	building damage need to be enabled uh
4115s	does that matter for Purge stuff sorry
4118s	oh no it'll all it'll always damage okay
4120s	yeah we added a new check-in to make
4122s	sure those NPCs if they are purging if
4124s	anyone's familiar with the dev kit if
4125s	they are purging they can always damage
4126s	buildings gotcha okay cool someone else
4129s	had a question in regards to
4131s	um can they swim
4132s	they're the same NPCs as always
4135s	oh uh are there any changes to the
4137s	conversions trap convergence trap um I
4141s	was supposed to meet with someone about
4142s	that at the end of last week but I uh
4144s	don't think we finished talking about it
4145s	uh its functionality is going to go away
4148s	for sure we're just trying to decide if
4149s	we want to make it just a decoration now
4151s	or if we want to keep the the effects in
4153s	that it has so there will be some change
4155s	there okay effectively the the treasurer
4157s	is now your convergence trap
4159s	I see okay
4163s	all right
4164s	so let's see here uh let's see if we can
4167s	get a couple
4168s	thingies from chat really quick a couple
4170s	questions
4173s	um let's see oh gosh there's a lot
4176s	coming in right now
4178s	uh can players or Thrills use the
4180s	battery Rams I do I believe not not in
4183s	chapter two not in chapter two okay yeah
4184s	I think that in chapter three
4186s	um you know we've already told everyone
4187s	what's going to happen in chapter three
4189s	so there's going to be PVE raid and what
4191s	that really means is that you know you
4193s	will be the purge right so you're not
4195s	being purged you are the purger you'll
4197s	go to a base and you'll be able to get
4199s	some of that equipment similar like from
4201s	that similar NPC uh you know the the
4204s	sell sword and you but battering rams is
4207s	the thing that you'll be able to get and
4208s	knock down doors enemy doors
4211s	testicle um I've got word about the
4213s	convergence trap okay
4215s	um so it's just visual uh the items
4217s	inside of it from before the patch will
4218s	be removable but you won't be able to
4219s	store anything in it so it's like just
4220s	like a piece of Decor cosmetic okay cool
4224s	thank you you're welcome
4227s	all right uh oh and then uh how do you
4230s	how do you get the stink pet
4232s	sneak so uh well there should be a base
4234s	game Snake now
4236s	um
4237s	I can't remember I think that we might
4238s	have made a reskin for that yeah well
4240s	there is there is a new like giant snake
4242s	pet skin like in the battle pass yeah
4244s	there's some folks were wondering like
4245s	how do I actually get it as a pet snake
4247s	okay yeah there's snake eggs all over
4249s	the place that you can pick up all right
4250s	sweet
4252s	thank you
4255s	okay uh and then uh let's see
4259s	um so with the with the PV well okay uh
4262s	I don't want to get to her ahead of
4263s	yourself all this stuff also that we're
4264s	demonstrating today like all the purge
4265s	stuff that's all also available on Septa
4267s	like it's just yeah yeah like that's all
4269s	that's all like map agnostic like
4271s	everything we've talked about is
4273s	everywhere yeah it's a base Game feature
4274s	that everyone will have access to you
4276s	don't need to like buy the battle pass
4278s	or do anything special like it's just
4279s	gonna be a base Game feature for free
4281s	um
4282s	and will be available on all maps
4284s	because it's it's just like it's it's
4286s	tied to your base like it's tied to your
4288s	base's location in your coffers location
4289s	so it doesn't care as long as there's
4290s	like a valid place for like the fob like
4293s	the Ford operating base the spawn then
4295s	you'll be able to summon the purge so
4296s	like yeah exot land SEPTA whatever
4298s	custom map you might be running if
4299s	you're running a modded thing that
4300s	should work yeah it's not it's not map
4302s	specific content it can work anywhere
4304s	and uh for modders out there too it
4306s	should all be like totally modable the
4308s	content of the Waves the frequency of
4309s	the Waves the difficulty of you know
4311s	who's in them
4313s	um even the forward operating base
4314s	itself should be modable so you can
4315s	change the composition of that what's in
4317s	it what kind of reward do you get
4318s	whatever
4319s	sweet okay I think we have time for one
4322s	more question before you got a jet and
4323s	then we're gonna jump into showing off
4325s	some of the new uh Cosmetics featured in
4328s	the bizarre and battle pass and then
4329s	we'll wrap it up
4331s	uh so let's see how long will the new
4333s	Purge run for so it's it's just like
4335s	it's wave based I believe and then like
4337s	it it ends when either you lose or like
4340s	they can't access the call for anymore
4342s	or when the final guy dies yeah there's
4344s	no there's no time restriction it's all
4346s	event restricted yeah and then it's like
4348s	I I guess on average like do you have an
4350s	estimate on like how long each like a
4352s	full Purge encounter will take like
4353s	maybe like a regular group it's gonna
4356s	yeah it's gonna vary a lot based on your
4358s	composition so depending on how many
4359s	followers you have or how many friends
4361s	you have with you what I'm aiming for is
4363s	that in like 15 to 20 minutes you should
4365s	be able to finish course purges it might
4368s	go a little longer than that but they
4370s	should be a pretty quick repeatable
4372s	activity that you can do just for fun
4373s	right like I said earlier that's the big
4375s	point is to have something that you can
4377s	just like hey I have 20 minutes I'm
4379s	gonna go play some Exiles real quick and
4380s	get something that's worthwhile out of
4382s	it instead of you know I've I'm I've
4384s	been farming iron for the past five
4387s	hours so I can play next week right kind
4389s	of thing
4390s	yep uh and then I guess I guess the
4392s	other question of course uh so yeah the
4394s	the this update is now currently
4396s	available on public beta uh you can
4397s	download and test that out now uh the
4399s	full drop for chapter two it's currently
4402s	slated for September 21st of this year
4405s	uh so we'll have a we'll have a a
4407s	decently chunky beta period uh and then
4410s	the the full release will be on the 21st
4411s	of September
4415s	okay well with that uh I am going to bid
4419s	everyone yeah

4521s	a bunch of bodies and we have all these
4522s	like new lights and all this extra
4524s	Hardware now so it's like you might have
4526s	noticed uh I saw someone in chat being

4544s	noted the armor I'm wearing right now is
4546s	also one of the new ones so this is uh a
4550s	battle pass Set uh I think it's actually
4553s	um built off of an age of Conan uh armor
4557s	set so it it if you've seen a modded
4559s	version of it it stands through
4561s	okay
4564s	[Music]

4924s	set with a with a cape
4926s	uh and also Warhammer and I think also
4929s	it I believe so this is the King of the
4931s	Hill bundle that'll be on the bazaar and
4933s	I think also it comes with a polar bear
4937s	all right it's not up on this list yet
4938s	let's see here if I can get the chief
4941s	boy
4943s	yeah no caves no capes
4946s	oh I don't remember what it's called Uh
4949s	oh here it is
4951s	oops well I spawned it as an enemy but
4953s	anyway this is what it looks like
4955s	it's fine oh no
4957s	Okay cool so it's just after your
4959s	treasure he wants my treasure yeah so
4960s	nope nope no animal purges sorry but
4964s	yeah so this will be uh this will be a
4966s	new polar bear pet skin uh that'll come
4968s	with the bundle as well
4971s	okay who tightened up polar bears hey
4976s	what a good boy
4977s	yeah oh and then I think I think I saw
4979s	in chat also I think uh one of the other
4981s	bits of feedback that we got was um the
4983s	the Perpetual scribbling that you hear
4985s	next to the accountant that's something
4986s	that that's a that's a that's a the pain
4988s	point that we're aware of
4991s	um so we'll think so much to write I
4993s	know I know I know
4996s	god with who who knows because the the
4999s	great uh Mecca Moses Conan oh now we're
5003s	talking yeah
5005s	oh
5007s	can I Romance the bear no I'm sorry not
5010s	out of a box at least we won't uh if
5012s	there's any Intrepid modders that want
5013s	to do that we won't I guess we won't
5015s	stop you yeah
5019s	um
5019s	oh yeah there's actually also now a
5021s	wearable Bearer pack let's see here do I
5023s	have it I don't oh yeah someone was also
5025s	asking are those new shock rooms yes
5026s	they are
5030s	so this will also be I believe in the
5031s	battle pass but yeah so this is a whole
5033s	like Relic Hunter themed uh like it's
5035s	part of the whole like Relic Hunter
5036s	themed uh like stuff that we have in the
5038s	battle pass as well so uh this is a
5040s	shopper that's an agility weapon
5043s	um
5043s	it's like mostly yeah it's a shotgun has
5045s	mostly like punch daggery style move set
5047s	applies bleed on heavy attacks the good
5050s	stuff and it looks rad
5054s	my number seven hop oh yeah this is the
5056s	uh mercenary Banner that we purchased
5058s	from the uh mercenary Captain When We
5060s	rescued him earlier in the purge like
5062s	demo so you plop you plonk one down uh
5064s	and then it spawns uh
5066s	spawns a bunch of helpers the idea here
5069s	is yeah it's like extra extra like
5070s	on-demand defense is like uh in case
5073s	you're getting overrun or something like
5074s	that by The Purge uh I'm not off the top
5077s	of my head I don't know how strong they
5079s	are
5080s	uh but they should be consummate with uh
5084s	yeah
5086s	with uh the difficulty that you get or
5088s	uh they should be able to stand their
5090s	ground are we showing the whole battle
5092s	pass no I don't want to show the entire
5094s	battle pass just because like I mean if
5095s	it's available on the public beta then
5097s	sure I don't think it is but um I I want
5099s	to avoid showing the whole thing off
5101s	like I'd love to show all the items off
5102s	but like I don't want to show all the
5103s	backgrounds off or anything like that
5104s	just because like
5106s	um you know people who really uh like
5109s	want to see that for themselves or you
5110s	know unlock that for themselves that you
5111s	can uh I'd rather save the surprise for
5113s	y'all there I don't want to spoil too
5115s	much
5116s	nice backpack nerd yeah I know yeah just
5119s	I I have extremely powerful shove me
5121s	into a locker energy right now I
5122s	understand I know I know okay so it's
5124s	not on beta right now uh I'm reluctant
5127s	to do that on stream right now just
5128s	because I don't I want to avoid spoilers
5130s	and I'd rather yeah I'd rather just be
5132s	on the safe side so sorry guys uh you
5134s	just have to wait a month
5136s	um
5137s	see uh I don't think there's a I don't
5140s	know if there's a new Mount per se I
5142s	have an emblem on it the cape should
5144s	have emblem on it I think I think that's
5145s	supposed to update to your Clan Emblem
5147s	but it doesn't seem to be uh that
5149s	doesn't seem to be working right now I'm
5151s	not 100 sure I'm pretty sure that's
5152s	supposed to be a Clan Emblem
5154s	um but that's uh that's not hooked up
5156s	currently I think during the beta
5160s	okay
5161s	um what else did I want to show off okay
5163s	yeah there's the
5166s	treasure hunter set also
5169s	so this is uh I think some of you might
5172s	have seen a glimpse of this but this is
5173s	a bizarre uh item set
5176s	um and uh in addition to this of course
5178s	like there'll be new like other new Clan
5180s	emblems and tattoo or you know War
5181s	paints uh and
5184s	um like spray paint sprays that you can
5186s	uh lay down as well
5188s	chose the mummy armor again yeah sure
5192s	yes
5197s	oh I want a flying carpet yeah I wish
5201s	yeah that sounds like a great mod
5204s	[Laughter]
5210s	let's see do the signs on the
5211s	foundations so uh and then just to
5213s	reiterate also we talked about a little
5214s	bit in the beginning of the stream and I
5215s	appreciate folks in chat um like keeping
5217s	people updated but um you know I know uh
5220s	we acknowledge like two really hot
5221s	issues right now are some creatures like
5223s	a lot of large creatures being just
5225s	completely invisible especially on like
5226s	consoles uh that's like a weird like
5229s	texture streaming issue with this like
5230s	middleware that we have uh that
5232s	unfortunately the company the the
5234s	company that created the middleware was
5235s	acquired by a different company who
5237s	makes a different engine and so now it's
5239s	like oh cool
5240s	uh
5241s	uh so we sometimes run into problems
5243s	with that and that's what's causing the
5244s	invisible animals those things it's kind
5246s	of a pain unfortunately obviously for
5248s	you as players it sucks but it's also
5250s	pretty
5251s	tedious to to try and track down all
5253s	that stuff on our end so it takes a
5254s	little bit of time to actually like get
5256s	that get that all done so thanks for
5257s	sticking with us and for your patience
5259s	on that but uh we think we've tracked
5261s	down most of the issues and that should
5263s	be uh fixed in this update when it goes
5265s	live uh additionally we know of a client
5268s	crash in the southern area of SEPTA that
5270s	is also very well known and will also be
5273s	fixed uh in the uh Age of War Chapter 2
5276s	update when it launches on September
5277s	21st
5280s	yeah Dance For Me Andy IRL or my
5283s	character don't answer that yeah I'm not
5285s	gonna dance for you right now maybe I
5287s	will who knows the
5290s	okay
5292s	um I think that covers most of the
5295s	things that we wanted to talk about uh
5298s	and show off uh again the public beta
5301s	client you can see all this almost all
5303s	this stuff for yourself right now uh if
5306s	you open up your steam Library go search
5307s	for uh Conan excel's public beta it's a
5309s	separate uh like a separate like copy of
5312s	the game yeah it's a separate client
5313s	that you install uh and then that'll
5315s	that'll direct you to uh this version
5318s	and then
5321s	have at it start some purges let us know
5324s	what you think uh please please let us
5326s	have it because like we're really
5327s	excited about this update uh we think
5330s	it's really important to have like
5332s	repeatable on-demand content like this
5334s	that you can do in like smaller
5335s	bite-sized chunks for folks uh and so we
5339s	just really want this to be as good as
5340s	you know as best as it can be so please
5342s	let us know how it goes
5345s	okay
