| 961s | to open that up for some q a with Dennis |
| 963s | uh Dennis is a is a very busy designer |
| 965s | and has another uh a very important |
| 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 |

| 4847s | sick yeah there is however uh let's see |
| 4850s | is there |
| 4853s | is the there's also a new emo that kind |
| 4856s | of ties into that but yeah mummy |

| 4869s | called the embalming wrap set and this |
| 4871s | is also going to be uh featured in the |
| 4872s | available for people from the battle |
| 4874s | pass |

| 4890s | let's see uh there is a new gem there is |
| 4893s | a new little like cute little gem |
| 4895s | placeable as well a little shimmering |
| 4897s | Ruby |
| 4898s | yeah yeah just a nice little pretty |
| 4900s | thing I'm just gonna |
| 4902s | write on his face there we go very good |
| 4906s | it's got a big old big old Ruby clown |
| 4908s | nose now very good that's great |

| 4921s | uh so yeah this is a nice heavy armor |
| 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 |
| 5347s | just reading chat super quick |
| 5351s | let's swap back to us so you can see our |
| 5352s | our beautiful faces here |

| 5374s | we got to get back to things we have a |
| 5375s | play test later today that we want to |

| 5386s | you can we just control V into a chat |
| 5388s | there the it should be the URL for the |
| 5391s | um for the beta patch notes yeah so one |
| 5394s | last time I believe I'm going to be |
| 5395s | linking the public beta patch notes uh |
| 5397s | in chat both on YouTube and twitch uh go |
| 5400s | have a read through those to digest all |
| 5403s | the changes that are coming up |
| 5406s | um and then yeah just let us know there |
| 5408s | just let us know in the Forum just what |
