198s	3.0 is probably the biggest update we've
201s	ever made it touches almost every aspect
203s	of conan exiles fans should absolutely
205s	be excited for 3.0 it is a major patch
207s	it includes sorcery sword and sorcery
211s	this is the other half of the genre
212s	that's been missing on top of that we've
214s	got updates to the building system it's
217s	going to have a battle pass a perks and
219s	attributes revamp and shop as well
221s	called the black lotus bazaar
237s	sorcery is absolutely imperative to the
238s	world of conan when the genre was having
241s	its name coined it literally became half
244s	of the name sword and sorcery we've
245s	always wanted to add sorcery to the game
247s	we think it's a part of the game that
249s	needs to be there to experience howard's
251s	world in full a lot of other games are
253s	high fantasy games and they focus a lot
255s	on fireballs and things that you can see
257s	coming out of your hands we wanted to
258s	find a way to make it
260s	feel more kind of physically grounded
262s	sinister and evil it's more about
265s	focusing and amplifying sorcerous energy
268s	and as you select different words of
270s	power you'll be building different
272s	spells
276s	[Music]
280s	sorcery is broken up into two different
282s	parts there's rituals and spells
285s	rituals are more kind of the the
286s	crafting side of it where you perform
289s	some kind of magical or sorceress ritual
292s	at a crafting station at your base in
295s	order to
296s	make something build something in your
298s	base you'll build a sacrificial stone
300s	you'll drag an unconscious combatant and
302s	put them on the stone and there will be
304s	a ritual recipe in that crafting station
307s	to
307s	offer them as a sacrifice perform a
309s	ritual draw their blood and then the
312s	station will open up again and you can
313s	take the item out tons of different
315s	rituals necromancy for instance allows
317s	you to summon the dead or create undead
320s	mounts a couple other rituals we have
322s	are integrated into the fast travel
323s	system that we're implementing so we
326s	have one that's kind of a set of
327s	teleporter pads and you'll need some
329s	blood and some brimstone to fire that
330s	pad up
332s	illusions basically allow you to take
334s	weapon or piece of armor and apply a
337s	different look to it so if you're able
339s	to craft two different pieces and you
342s	like the look of one but the stats of
344s	another you can apply the look of one to
347s	the other so it allows players to look
349s	how they want without sacrificing the uh
351s	the stats that they want to have with
353s	their equipment
357s	we've also wanted to go through and
359s	address all the perks that we felt were
361s	sort of underperforming and sort of give
364s	them a facelift essentially we've blown
366s	up the entire system and made a new meta
368s	we have some great surprises and we were
371s	really changing the way that conan
372s	exiles plays on all of the attributes
376s	corruption is a core part of sorcery so
378s	we wanted that to also impact the
380s	attribute system when your character is
382s	exposed to corruption
383s	it'll corrupt their form and their their
386s	whole physical being with that power you
388s	can corrupt your physical self in order
390s	to gain access to special perks once
392s	you've reached a certain corruption
393s	threshold your character will be able to
395s	corrupt their strength their vitality or
397s	their charisma into improving themselves
400s	these benefits won't show themselves
402s	very powerful at first but as you devote
405s	yourself more to the void they'll start
407s	showing up and making you more and more
409s	powerful
413s	when we first started working on the
414s	game we implemented the building system
417s	in a particular way but since then a lot
419s	more survival games have come out that
421s	have made us realize hey we can do a
423s	little bit better truthfully i think the
425s	old building system was a little
427s	difficult to use with the gamepad
428s	however with this new system it's
430s	designed to be used with the gamepad and
432s	i think it's going to be so much easier
434s	for people it takes all the crafting
437s	recipes all the building items that
439s	you've unlocked and puts them all in one
441s	menu you can go to the section you want
443s	find the piece you want and it's a lot
444s	simpler
448s	the creative mode is incredible you get
450s	this admin panel it unlocks all the
452s	building pieces and you can create your
454s	perfect home or castle or fortress a
456s	fundamental change in how you can build
458s	in the game it'll be really really easy
460s	i think for people to to build their
462s	perfect home
465s	some building pieces are part of the
468s	battle pass and others are going to be
469s	in the shop in the battle pass we have
471s	sorcery themed building pieces which are
473s	built to complement and supplement the
475s	existing base building sets the main
478s	reason we're doing the battle pass is so
480s	that we can continue to release free
482s	features i'm a strong believer that
485s	monetization should be more on the
486s	cosmetic side changing the way you look
489s	necessarily and not changing the power
490s	of things
492s	so the battle pass you're going to get
493s	some really cool things new armors
496s	weapons mounts that are all built around
498s	the sorcery theme there are two ways to
501s	progress through the battle pass and the
503s	first is to play the game every day
505s	you'll be given a series of challenges
506s	and when you complete one of those
508s	challenges you claim the experience from
510s	it and then that challenge is replaced
512s	with another one if you don't want to
513s	play to unlock everything in the battle
515s	pass you can also purchase levels in
518s	increments of 1 5 and 15. so for those
521s	of you who have less time that option is
524s	there as well so we won't have cosmetic
526s	dlcs like we did in the past with the
527s	culture packs we will have battle passes
530s	and ages instead we are going to have
532s	multiple sorcerer themed armor and
534s	clothing options some of them will be
536s	in-game and craftable others will be
538s	offered as part of the battle pass or as
540s	part of the shop we're also adding an
542s	item store to the game and this will
543s	allow players to have more of an
545s	all-a-cart option for what they want to
547s	buy
551s	it's been a long time coming making
552s	sorcery with each new release of conan
555s	exiles we're trying to make the kind of
557s	game that we feel like our players want
559s	to play and that we want to play so if
560s	you want to see more of this definitely
562s	follow our coding excels instagram

621s	name is andy bended i'm nicole dennis
625s	uh and we are here uh live in the durham
627s	north carolina studio it actually has
629s	been quite some time i think our last
630s	stream was like eight months ago so i'm
632s	just like it was a while yeah it's been
634s	a while just trying to get back into the
636s	saddle i haven't been in front of the
637s	camera in a little while so pardon me if
640s	i'm a little
641s	oh it's an exciting time though yeah
643s	plus like yeah this is an exciting like
644s	this is this will be an exciting stream
646s	this will be an exciting time uh we're
647s	going to be going into a bunch of
649s	details about uh all things with this
651s	update um
653s	and uh working to of course uh pick up
656s	on any questions you might have in chat
658s	or things i'm sure there were plenty uh
661s	we all we saw plenty over the weekend as
663s	well and so we'll work to uh certainly
665s	address uh as much as we can
667s	uh during the stream
668s	we're gonna go over a lot so like buckle
670s	in this might be a long stream uh we
672s	were originally planning like maybe like
673s	an hour hour and a half
675s	don't be surprised if we go over like
676s	two hours at this point um
678s	but yeah so today we're going to be
680s	going over
681s	everything to do with the aegis sorcery
683s	update coming up uh in quarter 3 2022 uh
687s	we'll be talking about uh sorcery and
689s	how
690s	that works uh we'll be of course talking
693s	about the new building system uh the
695s	revamped attributes uh the battle pass
698s	and the black lotus bazaar
700s	uh not necessarily in that order and
702s	then well yeah we'll of course take some
703s	time to answer questions that may have
705s	come up or may come up in chat or things
707s	that we've seen
708s	um
709s	and we'll go from there this is a really
710s	exciting time uh thanks for joining us
713s	um
714s	so any forward from you friend before we
717s	jump into things yeah um
720s	so we know there's gonna be a lot of
721s	questions about this and
722s	uh if it looks like i'm i'm reading off
724s	script a little bit today i did prepare
726s	a lot of notes so i don't get anything
727s	wrong
728s	uh because a lot of the stuff we'll talk
729s	about today we know for a lot of people
731s	can be touchy
732s	um
733s	so to talk about
735s	the battle pass and the bizarre to begin
737s	with
738s	as we started to get into the features
740s	that we're putting into this update
742s	we decided uh that we had had have a new
745s	monetization method for exiles
748s	we knew that if we made exiles it had to
750s	be free or sorry if we made sorcery it
752s	had to be free and it had to be for
753s	everybody so we didn't want to have to
755s	make a dlc and ask you
757s	to pay for a feature that should be part
759s	of the core fantasy of the game
761s	so we decided
763s	um
764s	we'd create we'd have to create an
765s	update that can both ship the sorcery
768s	and generate revenue at the same time
770s	and we decided to develop these features
772s	to support the future of the product as
773s	well
774s	we do want to move exiles into being
776s	more of a fully supported games as a
778s	service kind of product and this helps
780s	meet that end so if you're an exiles
783s	player now and probably a lot of you are
786s	there aren't a lot of ways when it comes
787s	to dlc for you to get your hands on new
789s	content we've released a handful of
791s	culture packs that give you an
792s	assortment of armor and building pieces
794s	and other miscellaneous cosmetics
796s	but for the most part there isn't a lot
798s	of opportunity opportunity to invest
800s	more in the game that you want to play
802s	so these new systems will let us offer
804s	more items at a faster rate and let you
806s	pick and choose the things that you
807s	actually want to get
809s	so whenever a new pack of stuff comes
810s	out maybe you don't really care about
812s	the building pieces and you just like to
813s	get the armor of the weapons
815s	and
816s	that that'll be a choice with with these
818s	uh these pathways
819s	and there are no paywalls in our system
821s	nothing will prevent you from
822s	experiencing any content in the game
825s	will not sell power in the shop of any
827s	kind it'll only be novelties and there's
829s	no need to buy anything if you don't
831s	want to it's i've put a lot of effort
833s	into this personally to make it as
835s	non-intrusive or not invasive as
837s	possible
839s	and we'll go over more of the details of
840s	all these things as we get into it more
842s	indeed
843s	yeah i mean yeah something something i
845s	kind of wanted to
846s	point out also is that it's actually
847s	like super like
849s	non-intrusive uh the battle pass stuff
852s	is like it's just like in a corner of
854s	the screen which you'll see in just a
855s	second so let me yeah we don't want to
856s	show off let me pull this up just really
858s	quick and like i'll be looking down a
861s	lot i've got yeah
863s	uh reading everybody's chat um we also
865s	have um some of the community team in
867s	chat so they'll be there helps any you
868s	know help with any questions as well
871s	so let's see how this works okay so here
873s	is
874s	what the battle pass will look like you
875s	might have seen this in the trailer that
876s	we just aired um dennis can you walk us
879s	through like kind of what we're looking
880s	for clarify things or if they're if
881s	there are any questions that we had seen
883s	uh previously uh if there's anything you
885s	want to touch on from here yeah i think
887s	the first thing to talk about is just
888s	like a tiny disclaimer that all the
890s	stuff that's in the trailer and even
891s	things we're showing on stream today are
893s	still a work in progress so we have a
895s	little disclaimer in the corner of the
896s	stream
897s	um we had to you know make the trailer
900s	to show everything to everyone to get
901s	them excited about it but a lot of the
902s	details that you go in and fish and
904s	check out will be a little bit off for
906s	what they would be in the end i know a
908s	lot of things that that people do ask
909s	about in terms of the shop itself is
911s	like are the are these the prices you
913s	know and the prices themselves are even
914s	still a work in progress um i had a
916s	conversation about it just this morning
918s	briefly
919s	um but yeah looking at the battle pass
921s	what we're seeing here is basically
926s	similar to what you would see in a
926s	battle pass in other games where
929s	you see you have a series of rewards you
931s	interact with the game and you engage
933s	with the systems like you normally would
934s	to receive the rewards in the battle
936s	pass as you play through and get that
938s	experience from finishing the challenges
939s	you'll unlock battle pass levels and
941s	those levels will let you claim the
943s	rewards if you own the battle pass if
945s	you don't own the battle pass there will
946s	still be about 12 rewards in this pool
948s	of 60 that'll be completely free
951s	so even if you're not paying into the
953s	battle pass to get all the rewards
955s	there's still some little novel things
956s	you can pull out of it
958s	and then yeah like you can see like so
960s	these are the first two like pages of
962s	the battle pass and so you can see
965s	a few examples of the items that are
968s	pretty clearly marked as as free so you
970s	don't need to actually like have the
971s	battle pass if you want to like level up
973s	your pass and like get those for example
976s	um
978s	and then yeah all this stuff is
979s	accessible from like the very top mini
980s	there uh and so it's just it's just an
982s	option that you can just select once you
984s	once you go to that menu i can go into a
986s	bit about the structure of the battle
987s	pass also the way the way that we'll lay
989s	things out so
991s	whenever we decided again that you know
993s	we wanted to put a battle pass in to me
995s	it felt very important that we try to
996s	integrate that with the world and the
998s	story of exiles as much as possible um
1000s	there are a lot of games that have a
1002s	battle pass and it's just kind of this
1003s	tacked on monetization thing that's in
1005s	there and i was like if if we do this
1007s	and we we make it part of the game we
1008s	should try to make a part of the world
1010s	too so with every battle pass you'll see
1012s	as you scroll through the pages there's
1013s	a uh there will be a series of tableaus
1015s	that unfold and tell a story about
1017s	something that has happened or happening
1019s	in one of the maps
1021s	so the current one for age of sorcery is
1023s	a series of events that is occurring in
1024s	the exiled lands and as you go through
1027s	and complete the different pages of the
1028s	battle pass
1029s	the little text doc there's a little
1031s	scroll up in the corner and some text
1033s	will reveal and kind of lead you along
1034s	with the story is
1036s	um that's that's the stuff in the very
1038s	top okay you can't
1040s	yeah way in the top left of our screen
1042s	there you can see it's a bunch of
1043s	gibberish but that will start
1044s	materializing into uh legible language
1047s	as you as you complete more of the
1048s	battle pass yeah to go along with the
1050s	idea of sorcery being um as you'll learn
1052s	more about it it's kind of a sort of
1054s	archaic
1055s	or like uh otherworldly kind of language
1058s	i suppose and as you're unlocking this
1060s	this experience in the battle pass
1062s	you're gaining the knowledge to to read
1063s	the runes
1065s	and um so the structure for the battle
1068s	pass is
1069s	going to be such that we have ages like
1071s	age of sorcery
1072s	and then each age will be broken down
1074s	into several chapters and those chapters
1076s	will be where we hit the big content
1078s	updates with each one of those chapters
1080s	we'll not only be adding new things in
1082s	the shop and new rewards in the battle
1084s	pass but we will be adding new playable
1088s	content or major updates to existing
1090s	content
1092s	at the same time so whenever we do an
1094s	update it's not just going to be oh
1095s	here's more stuff to buy it's going to
1097s	be okay here's also some new stuff to do
1100s	um so that that's the way we'd like to
1101s	follow through with that going forward
1103s	and all those like major
1107s	that that will be gamepl added to the
1109s	game as like part of the base game
1111s	because you don't have to per like you
1112s	don't have to buy anything
1113s	yeah gain access just like sorcery right
1115s	so like there'll be a battle pass but
1117s	like you know anything new and exciting
1118s	we do add like that'll be available for
1121s	everyone yeah a big part of the reason
1123s	we wanted to go down this route is
1125s	because it lets people opt in and
1126s	support us when they want to or just if
1128s	they see something really cool they want
1129s	to have
1130s	and then that helps us actually fund
1132s	further development of the game so we
1133s	can make all of our other features
1135s	coming out uh free for everybody and
1137s	really justify continuing to support
1139s	coding exiles because it's a game we
1142s	love you know the team that works on
1143s	exiles wants to keep working on exiles
1145s	and we want to keep adding stuff to it
1148s	but we have to be able to justify it at
1149s	the end of the day you know um like andy
1151s	said we have to keep the lights on yeah
1153s	yeah we got to keep the lights on we you
1155s	know this is all we have a lot of
1157s	amazing like talented designers and
1158s	artists and all sorts of people working
1159s	here um but at the end of the day yeah
1161s	we got to keep the lights on gotta stay
1163s	fed etc etc so
1166s	um so thank you for that yeah uh and so
1168s	next i wanted to touch into
1171s	um
1171s	so you had mentioned how so challenges
1174s	that is the primary method of how one
1177s	would
1178s	uh level up the battle pass correct yeah
1180s	cool so we'll swap over to this
1184s	there's a lot of details for challenges
1185s	as well i know like a lot of questions
1187s	have been raised about them already as
1188s	well and i have a list of some stuff
1190s	that i'd like to go through just so i
1191s	don't miss anything yeah
1193s	the battle pass can be compressed
1197s	the battle pass can be progressed by
1199s	completing challenges
1201s	challenges give battle pass experience
1202s	and levels and as you progress through
1204s	the ballot pass levels you can claim the
1205s	rewards as i mentioned before
1207s	there are 60 rewards in in our battle
1209s	pass at present and if you don't own the
1211s	battle pass you can still earn about 12
1213s	of those rewards like i mentioned before
1215s	owning the battle pass lets you claim
1216s	everything at no additional cost
1218s	so there is a cost to purchase the
1220s	battle pass
1221s	and once you spend that amount of money
1224s	you'll be able to claim everything for
1226s	each level that you unlock
1228s	now there's also a premium battle pass
1231s	that
1232s	addition all all it does on top of the
1234s	normal battle pass is grant you 15
1236s	additional levels so as soon as you buy
1238s	it you get 15 unlocks right away no
1240s	matter where you're at
1241s	the levels are linear so they'll always
1243s	be 1 000 experience to complete there's
1245s	no increased grind the further you go um
1250s	you can also buy additional levels of
1251s	chrome coins if you don't want to do
1253s	challenges to gain the xp
1255s	and now to look at the the menu for some
1258s	of the stuff that we have every 24 hours
1260s	you'll get xp multipliers on each slot
1262s	that's available to you
1264s	so you can continue to complete those
1266s	challenges for normal xp once those
1268s	multipliers are gone so that 2x times
1270s	150 2x times 30 etc that you see at the
1273s	top those are the multipliers you get
1276s	and you you get five a day like i said
1278s	it can pull up to 20 in the back end as
1280s	well so you can miss four days of
1282s	playing the game come back and still
1285s	have 25 total multipliers
1288s	to be able to go through and and do all
1289s	the challenges you want and still get
1291s	that bonus xp to prevent you from
1293s	falling behind
1295s	you can also reroll challenges um i know
1297s	one of the questions someone asked was
1299s	can you pay for rerolls but
1301s	uh i think that yeah yeah
1305s	yeah so this
1307s	those are dice now yeah
1310s	the uh the icon in the video was
1311s	temporary it was a copy over from the
1313s	shop where you can purchase chrome coins
1315s	and we've uh we've done a lot of work on
1317s	the ui since then to make things more
1319s	clear where things can be bought and
1321s	can't similarly with the remaining xp
1324s	boosters thing up in the corner i
1326s	changed that text to say xp multipliers
1328s	remaining because it sounds less like
1330s	something that you can buy and and we
1332s	don't really want the people to have the
1333s	illusion that we're just trying to uh
1335s	nickel and dime people and
1337s	you know hit you with as many like micro
1339s	transactions yeah
1340s	as we possibly can that's not the case
1342s	right we avoid them as much as we
1344s	possibly can
1346s	yeah so don't don't worry i know yeah
1347s	that was definitely something that came
1348s	up uh
1350s	so yeah and then um
1352s	in addition to that so like there's
1354s	there's the multipliers but then
1356s	once like once you use up your day's
1358s	multipliers like you can still like
1360s	infinitely complete challenges yeah if
1363s	that's the thing that like you're
1364s	motivated to do because it gives you a
1365s	goal or something you want to do the
1366s	challenges are there for you to keep
1368s	going through them you just won't get
1370s	that multiplier another artifact of the
1372s	past is that these all say 2x on them so
1374s	i know some people have already done the
1375s	math to try to figure out how long it
1377s	would take you to finish the battle pass
1380s	those values the xp values haven't
1382s	changed i believe we might have brought
1384s	the bottom end up so i think 30 is no
1386s	longer the minimum it might be 40. i can
1388s	clarify all this later or you know you
1390s	can just guys can just see it when it
1391s	comes out
1392s	to change still anyways there's that and
1394s	the multipliers are going to be 10x by
1395s	default now too so it's going to be much
1397s	faster than you would have calculated
1399s	based on the release videos teaser video
1403s	i do also have information on how long
1405s	we expect it to take uh to complete the
1407s	battle pass but i'll get that when we
1408s	get to that when i get to it in my notes
1411s	um
1412s	the battle pass can be completed purely
1414s	by finishing challenges so you'll never
1415s	be asked to pay again after you buy the
1417s	battle pass
1418s	if you complete the majority of the
1419s	battle pass and i think this is up to
1421s	like level 57 or somewhere abouts you'll
1424s	be refunded for the cost of the battle
1426s	pass
1427s	throughout the progression through it so
1429s	you see in some points on the track we
1431s	give you chrome coins those in the end
1433s	will total up to be the entire cost of
1434s	the battle pass so
1436s	theoretically if you buy one battle pass
1438s	the first time and you complete all of
1440s	them up to that point that you
1442s	participate in you will always get your
1444s	chrome coins back and be able to buy the
1445s	next one at no additional cost it's like
1448s	you buy the battle pass once as long as
1449s	you don't spend those prom coins you can
1451s	keep buying each successive battle pass
1455s	and we'll be keeping eye on the progress
1458s	uh that everyone makes in the battle
1459s	pass if we feel it's taking too long for
1461s	too many people we can tweak the xp
1463s	multiplier on challenges or the xp
1465s	values in the back end and speed things
1467s	up for people and that won't require
1468s	like a patch or whatever either way
1470s	that's right it'll be a change on our
1471s	side that just automatically goes out to
1473s	everybody when you get new challenges
1474s	you'll get the new data and you'll be
1475s	able to keep up with everybody else
1477s	[Music]
1478s	we base the amount of time needed to
1480s	complete the ballot pass on someone
1481s	being active twice a week for at least
1484s	an hour per session
1485s	so most of the challenges you get will
1487s	be completed when playing normally and
1489s	you'll get if you get challenges that
1491s	you don't think you complete that option
1492s	to reroll is there as well
1494s	um i believe right now we give three
1496s	degree rules per day and one reroll
1498s	changes all of the challenges so if
1501s	there's something in that list of five
1502s	that or anything in that list of five
1504s	doesn't suit what you want to do you
1506s	have three chances a day to just
1507s	completely get rid of those
1509s	um and look for something else that's
1511s	more suited to what you might want to do
1515s	and i think that's pretty much the
1516s	majority of what i have to say about the
1517s	challenges at the moment cool um there's
1520s	a lot of uh you know one of the notes
1522s	you left was there's a lot of really
1523s	cool exclusive rewards like war paints
1525s	wall sprays replaceables building pieces
1527s	emotes
1529s	um
1530s	yeah uh there's a lot of awesome stuff
1533s	in there yeah okay so wall sprays are
1535s	new
1536s	right yeah it's essentially um a really
1538s	quick little r d thing we did where we
1540s	were like hey it would be cool to be
1542s	able to place decals on the wall or on
1543s	the floor or you know just be able to
1545s	decorate more so it's kind of just a
1547s	little thing you make at the at the dyer
1549s	at the dyer station
1551s	and uh the bench and you can just spray
1554s	uh like an image of a rhino on a wall or
1556s	something like sweet nice
1559s	oh also item illusions are a really big
1561s	thing to talk about yes
1563s	we can talk about that let me let me
1565s	pull that up actually that's under my
1566s	that's under my other stuff but let's
1568s	show that off now um and uh we have a
1572s	lot of questions and we'll probably
1574s	answer i mean not all of them but as we
1576s	go through but we may have answer
1577s	questions yeah maybe if we have time yes
1580s	certainly i think uh and then certainly
1582s	we'll work to uh answer questions
1585s	or like you know as we as we're
1587s	progressing through like our points
1589s	hopefully we we are able to answer some
1591s	questions that may have already come up
1593s	uh but if you see anything particularly
1594s	the pertinent of being asked a ton uh
1596s	don't be afraid to just bring it up and
1597s	we can
1598s	be fine with that there's one in
1600s	particular that i saw a lot was um if
1601s	this is just official or if it's also
1603s	private
1604s	yeah so the battle pass and the shop
1606s	will be on all servers of all types that
1609s	will be on official servers private
1611s	servers modded servers and single player
1615s	no matter where you play you'll be able
1616s	to participate in the the battle pass
1619s	and purchase things from the shop if you
1620s	want to
1621s	sweet
1623s	um
1624s	what we have up right now is actually
1625s	the upcoming weapon illusion system um
1629s	let's see if i can
1631s	just uh actually
1634s	to
1635s	set that up
1637s	okay
1638s	so um
1639s	we're adding an illusion system to the
1641s	game uh and so
1642s	at one of the new stations that you can
1644s	build i believe it's called the
1646s	falmaturgy bench here
1648s	you can
1650s	make a
1651s	weapon look like a different weapon now
1653s	there are some restrictions to that uh
1655s	they have to be
1656s	of a like type so like you can't make a
1659s	short sword look like an x or like a
1661s	hammer or something like that and i
1663s	believe and correct me if i'm wrong you
1665s	have to be able to craft the item that
1667s	you want to take the appearance of
1669s	normally yeah there's a slight caveat
1671s	you you do have to be able to craft the
1673s	item that you
1675s	want to use the appearance of
1676s	unless you use one of the illusion items
1678s	that we've made so one of the things
1680s	that you might get for free in the shop
1682s	or in the battle pass will be an
1683s	illusion item that
1685s	we can just take something we think
1686s	looks really rad and people will like to
1688s	see or check out and we can make a
1690s	version of it that you can use in the
1692s	thaumaturgy bench
1694s	even if you don't know how to make the
1695s	items so here you can see in the video
1697s	it says uh you basically
1699s	these items aren't compatible i think
1701s	yeah because i'm trying to take you
1702s	don't know how to well
1703s	it's because it's a different type of
1705s	weapon so i'm taking that i'm taking a
1706s	uh steel i'm taking a steel
1709s	short sword and trying to make it look
1710s	like the yamata naginata
1712s	different types of weapons uh but then i
1715s	swap uh i i take the appearance of the
1716s	yamata assassin's blade which is a
1718s	one-handed sword uh which then can take
1720s	the appearance
1721s	so that's the only restriction is it has
1723s	to be like andy said the same type you
1725s	can make any
1726s	any two-ended acts look like any
1727s	two-handed axe you can make any chess
1729s	piece look like any chess piece
1731s	all you have to do is know how to make
1732s	this bench and know how to make the
1734s	items that you want to combine
1739s	but uh yeah so that that also so that's
1741s	a cool thing that we're going to be
1742s	adding and then also like kind of gives
1743s	us extra options to like throw in as
1745s	goodies yeah here and there also like if
1747s	um you know really make some like really
1749s	cool weapons in the future something
1751s	like that we can just like potentially
1753s	just like have the illusion items in
1755s	addition to like actual crafting recipes
1756s	or something like that just as an
1758s	example but this will be a system that
1760s	will launch uh with the update uh while
1763s	we still have people i wanna uh
1766s	throw in one clarification everyone's
1768s	just leaving now that's fine at some
1769s	point you know
1770s	as soon as we start answering more
1772s	questions yeah we'll have less people
1773s	right but while everyone's still here uh
1775s	our monetization expert wanted me to
1777s	chime in and say that
1779s	uh the the amount of time we base our
1782s	play sessions on being one hour is not
1784s	one hour doing challenges it's one hour
1787s	of a normal play session expecting that
1789s	you will
1790s	naturally complete the majority of those
1791s	uh through normal play
1794s	that is good clarification
1797s	thank you friend for for that
1800s	um
1801s	it's okay we've covered
1803s	a lot of the stuff at the battle pass a
1804s	lot of stuff at challenges illusion
1806s	system is there anything else that you
1808s	think we're missing before we move on to
1811s	the bazaar the bazaar i think it's shop
1814s	time i think it is shop time all right
1815s	cool
1817s	where the heck is it where did i put
1818s	that
1823s	are you saving the best for last
1825s	of course
1827s	naturally
1829s	okay
1830s	this is the black load is bizarre um
1833s	fpo stands for placement only it's just
1834s	a it's just the placeholder don't worry
1836s	about it
1838s	work in progress yeah it's all work in
1840s	progress yeah it's not some anyway yeah
1842s	it just means placeholder uh so yeah
1845s	this is this is certainly uh something
1847s	that uh
1848s	another thing that we've seen plenty of
1850s	comments about and so we're hoping to be
1852s	able to allay any concerns you might
1854s	have about just how
1856s	this works
1857s	yeah i think one of the biggest things
1859s	to touch on is that uh stuff in the shop
1861s	doesn't go away forever when it's gone
1863s	it does have a timer on it a lot of the
1865s	reason we have a shop setup like this
1867s	right now is because
1869s	the back catalog of items that we have
1871s	will not be so extremely large that it
1873s	makes a lot of sense to have a lot of
1875s	categories where you filter in a lot of
1876s	stuff so
1877s	in order to be able to get everything
1878s	cycled through and have everyone have
1881s	their eyes on it it makes more sense for
1883s	us to just be able to show a few items
1885s	at a time and be able to really showcase
1887s	how cool they are because like with a
1889s	lot of these you can see we've we've got
1890s	some really cool
1892s	uh art made to show them off like the
1894s	sandstone sandstone set one at the
1897s	bottom is uh yeah down here
1900s	uh sorry i'm just like
1902s	i absolutely love the way this looks and
1904s	like i had this image in my head and i
1906s	asked for it and got exactly what i
1907s	wanted but it's just basically like a
1909s	little diorama where we can display all
1911s	the stuff that's in the set and have a
1912s	building made of the pieces that are
1914s	included in it and i think it looks
1916s	really cool um but yeah the bazaar
1919s	is its own instead of stuff that rotates
1920s	in and out
1921s	it's different from the battle pass the
1923s	items in it won't be battle pass items
1926s	you can just snag bundles like cosmetic
1929s	armor sets placeables building pieces
1931s	emotes and the like
1932s	it'll rotate out based on the size of
1934s	the preview in the shop so the the big
1937s	daddy preview
1938s	uh this one lasts 30 days
1940s	the medium-sized ones over here
1943s	will cycle every two weeks
1944s	and the smaller ones like these two over
1947s	here rotate every 48 hours
1952s	like like we've said before we'll never
1954s	sell power in the shop
1955s	any items like weapons or armor that you
1957s	get from the battle pass
1959s	or from the shop will have similar stats
1962s	to previous dlc armor and weapons that
1964s	you've seen before where they kind of
1965s	just sit along that iron tier and then
1967s	you get an epic version that you can
1969s	make as well it's like the star metals
1970s	here or something like that yeah yeah
1972s	exactly
1973s	so um
1975s	yeah that's that's that's the plan when
1977s	we don't plan to sell things that
1980s	make anyone any stronger through the
1981s	battle pass or the shop it's all novelty
1983s	it's all cosmetic it's all for fun
1985s	and then uh one thing i know that uh
1987s	came up also was uh when we rotate items
1990s	like they're not gone gone like this
1992s	like
1993s	the sale of the item or whatever is just
1995s	being rotated like items will come back
1997s	in rotation
1999s	like
2000s	as you know
2001s	discounted or whatever over time like
2003s	it's never going to be like oh if you
2004s	don't get this in now and 40 like one of
2006s	these small ones like it'll come back at
2008s	some point yeah like any other sale like
2011s	yeah in the world so i know uh some
2012s	people ask too if because we're going to
2014s	these like
2016s	you know shops and battle pass that we
2017s	own if we would still have sales or
2019s	discounts but yeah there will be uh
2021s	sales on items in
2023s	in in the shop and
2025s	uh going forward you know you'll see
2027s	those marked off i think we i think we
2028s	have uh maybe some images as well that
2030s	show that discount but we'll see if you
2032s	don't see it now you'll see it very soon
2035s	yes uh yeah i don't have any i don't
2036s	have any of that loaded up here but yeah
2038s	i mean eventually y'all will see it so
2040s	again yeah like
2042s	if something like if something gets
2043s	rotated out like it'll come back at some
2045s	point so you know you won't you won't
2047s	like permanently miss out on anything
2049s	that's like shown here
2052s	hope that helps um
2054s	cool great
2056s	that's a lot of nitty-gritty
2057s	housekeeping stuff
2059s	and a lot of exciting stuff
2061s	i know it's like edge of your seat
2062s	riveting experience
2063s	i guess
2064s	before we move on from the shop yeah
2066s	stuff there's actually more notes that i
2067s	didn't work into yeah stuff that we uh
2070s	touched on before so the battle pass we
2072s	up will be updated every 90 days
2074s	it's right around 13 weeks so all the
2077s	previous content will be removed and new
2079s	content will be put in its place when
2080s	the battle pass goes away
2083s	we have to
2084s	um
2087s	sorry the
2089s	seasons that come in sorry nuts the ages
2092s	will be in place for usually probably
2094s	around two to three chapters
2096s	and each chapter is what will be updated
2098s	every 90 days
2099s	so you have those you know those 13
2102s	weeks to get the ball pass get through
2104s	everything that's in there
2106s	and um
2107s	then we'll put another one in its place
2108s	and keep going forward with it so that's
2110s	kind of the update cadence you can
2112s	expect for features as well so whenever
2114s	we add that new battle pass like i
2115s	mentioned before we'll also be adding
2116s	new content new features new things to
2118s	do at the same time
2121s	um
2121s	already touched on battle passes and
2123s	challenges being available on all server
2124s	types
2126s	the battle pass and the shop are
2128s	intended to replace the old dlc packs
2130s	going forward so
2131s	if we make new culture packs or new maps
2133s	we'd always like this to be the platform
2135s	that we deliver it through i know a lot
2136s	of people had that question i think
2138s	that's kind of where the question of you
2139s	know will i still be able to get things
2140s	on sale
2141s	yeah yeah yeah um i also have one
2144s	question yeah um there is a question if
2147s	the balance rewards our accounts per
2149s	server
2150s	yeah i saw a comment about that on
2151s	youtube as well it was literally my next
2153s	bullet point oh great i saw a comment on
2155s	youtube saying that they hope things
2157s	that you pay for will be account bound
2158s	and that will be the case anything you
2160s	buy that will be available or anything
2162s	you buy will be available on any
2164s	character you have or ever make so
2166s	there's only one slight exception to
2168s	this rule and it's if we add free single
2170s	use items to the shop or those free
2172s	slots in the battle pass you only get to
2174s	claim those once per character
2177s	but outside of that every other thing
2178s	that you ever have
2180s	will be with you forever right and if
2182s	you make a new character then you would
2183s	be able to get that
2185s	that one stack or whatever of an item
2187s	for example that new character the
2189s	consumable things that you claim you
2190s	can't get those again so whenever you
2193s	say you complete one of the free tiers
2194s	in the battle pass and it gives you a
2196s	cool like sword illusion you claim that
2198s	on that character and that's the only
2199s	time you can claim that okay you can't
2201s	go back and start the battle pass again
2202s	you get that item once
2204s	you get to see it and it's gone after
2205s	you're done using it okay
2207s	but everything else will always be there
2209s	cool and
2210s	[Music]
2213s	uh something was in my head about it and
2215s	i
2215s	just i i lose my train of thought every
2217s	three seconds last night yeah in the
2219s	middle of the night
2220s	yeah we'll we'll break we'll wake up in
2222s	a cold sweat
2224s	that's what i wanted to say and just
2225s	like friend like frenetically just like
2227s	tweet
2229s	rogue on the exiles account
2231s	oh i i actually did remember
2234s	we added a new tab in um what you guys
2236s	know now is the feats menu we've renamed
2238s	the knowledge menu to make it more
2239s	streamlined with the rest of the
2241s	language around the system so we added a
2244s	new category in the knowledge menu
2245s	that's
2246s	called ancestral knowledge that has all
2248s	of the stuff that you'll ever get from
2249s	the shop and the battle pass all in one
2251s	place oh cool so you'll see when you
2252s	make a new character that you have all
2253s	that stuff ready to go right out of the
2255s	gate
2258s	very good
2259s	nice and streamlined i like it i think
2262s	that hits all my bullet points for for
2263s	all of these sweet yeah any were there
2265s	any hot questions that we wanted to try
2267s	and answer real quick before we get into
2270s	the good stuff oh yeah how do we feel i
2273s	mean there's there's one question that's
2274s	like uh not it basically is the update
2277s	going to come out to pc and console at
2279s	the same date
2281s	that's our plan at the moment so
2283s	as we've done most recently in the past
2285s	we're trying to keep everything in
2286s	parity um so that's what we're pushing
2289s	for yeah yeah i mean like and like
2291s	unforeseen things can and often do
2293s	happen so like
2295s	you know
2297s	the intent is that we'll make sure that
2298s	it's all like released all at the same
2300s	time but you know if something comes up
2301s	that we're not like
2303s	we didn't see ahead of time like you
2304s	know we'll let you know of course we'll
2306s	keep you updated on anything like that
2309s	cool great all right what's next what's
2311s	next what's your next smash watch this
2313s	okay what um what do we want to talk
2316s	about next magic okay
2318s	we can do that it's time it's time folks
2320s	wow
2322s	um
2323s	so yeah
2325s	the next update
2326s	as you might have guessed by this point
2328s	with it being titled the age of sorcery
2330s	what could it mean it includes
2333s	sorcery
2334s	[Laughter]
2336s	it's vader time oh yes it's time because
2339s	i just choked twitch chat
2341s	um
2342s	so yeah uh
2344s	sorcery was a really important uh like
2346s	feature that we wanted to uh work into
2348s	conan excels for a very long time
2351s	um
2352s	it was uh it was one of our old uh
2355s	og promised features from back in early
2357s	access and uh where we're finally able
2359s	to make good on that promise
2362s	and we took a lot of care to make sure
2364s	that sorcery in conan exiles is
2366s	represented
2368s	in the way
2369s	uh as accurate as possible to howard's
2371s	original work so like
2372s	um you know historically throughout the
2375s	conan like uh fiction
2378s	uh
2379s	it tends to be much more like so like
2381s	the world itself tends to be much more
2382s	like a low fantasy fair
2385s	yeah very dark uh sorcery in general
2388s	tends to be relatively seldom seen
2390s	uh and is considered exceptionally
2392s	dangerous to both
2394s	people being affected by it and perhaps
2396s	the caster or user
2398s	if they're not experienced in their
2399s	craft or if they're careless or reckless
2402s	um and as as with many things regarding
2406s	you know once you get a taste of
2408s	you know extra dimensional power when
2410s	you have like the fab fabric of reality
2412s	like at your fingertips
2414s	uh
2415s	power is addicting and so you just want
2417s	more and so oftentimes sorcerers in the
2419s	fiction are
2421s	depicted as like power hungry one might
2425s	say corrupt one might say corrupted
2427s	indeed uh where's this thing that i had
2429s	hold on you're telling me there's no
2431s	broomstick riding no there's no
2433s	broomstick riding uh there will not be i
2436s	and so like also just keep in mind that
2437s	we uh like sorcery and conan exiles will
2440s	not feature like walking artillery units
2443s	you know you're not going to be
2445s	launching where the heck sorry i'm sorry
2447s	i'm looking through this thing right now
2448s	and i can't talk about it anyway yeah
2450s	yeah yeah that's a really important
2451s	thing with sorcery and exiles and or
2454s	rather in howard's universe is
2456s	you know
2458s	we don't want you to be replacing combat
2460s	in exiles with sorcery so i know there's
2463s	also been a lot of concerns that
2466s	this will turn into you know high
2468s	fantasy spell flinging duels and
2470s	swords and and bows and everything will
2472s	be pointless but that goes against our
2476s	our like the cloth we're cut from right
2479s	like everything about exiles is meant to
2482s	be intimate bloody melee combat and that
2485s	doesn't change even if you're a sorcerer
2487s	there are things that you can do from
2488s	farther away that can influence combat
2491s	but at the end of the day
2492s	you've got to get in there and you've
2494s	got to chop stuff down just like any
2496s	barbarian would because that's the
2497s	nature of the universe yeah and that's
2499s	what we try to keep true in the sorcery
2501s	system as well
2502s	and so um yeah sorcery is in the world
2506s	also typically depicted as sort of like
2508s	an evil dark art
2510s	and uh you know historically in fiction
2513s	as well you know we know
2515s	certain characters certain notable
2516s	characters throughout the universe have
2518s	uh
2520s	done all sorts of fun things
2522s	with sorcery so uh the the picture
2524s	behind us also the green picture is uh
2526s	is actually artwork from our uh legacy
2528s	mmo age of conan featuring uh tothamon
2531s	and of course this is uh falsely doom
2534s	from the classic arnold conan movie
2537s	uh but that's yeah to kind of give an
2540s	example of like
2541s	the sort of like kind of mood
2544s	that you can expect when it comes to you
2546s	know mastering or you know taking the
2548s	dive into sorcery um
2551s	yeah like you said like you're not going
2553s	to be throwing magic missiles or like
2555s	light spells or whatever no no truth
2557s	yeah we we um one of the design kind of
2560s	directions that i gave one one of the
2562s	tenants that when we started was that
2564s	sorcery should not be a replacement for
2566s	melee combat we knew that when we made
2568s	it it should be
2570s	different means to similar ends so there
2573s	will be different tools that you can use
2574s	in the in
2576s	the course of your game
2578s	much more nefarious and evil tools than
2580s	the ones that you currently have but
2582s	there'll be alternative ways to approach
2584s	similar problems and solve those
2587s	problems and ways to use people
2591s	as the means to that end right
2593s	uh that's that's kind of the mo for
2595s	sorcerers and in howard's universe is
2598s	they don't mind taking a couple people
2600s	and cutting them down if it means
2601s	advancing their own power yep
2603s	so you can actually see behind us uh
2605s	behind nicole here actually is uh no not
2607s	i'm always on the way no no it's fine
2609s	it's we're all in the way but yeah this
2611s	is this is like a sacrificial altar that
2612s	you can then chain someone up to and
2614s	then take their blood or steal their
2616s	soul essence
2617s	um maybe later we'll have a specific dlc
2620s	that has uh our our models in as as
2623s	sacrificial altars the argyle sacrifice
2626s	yeah yeah yeah instead oh yeah instead
2628s	of like body pillows we sell like dev
2630s	sacrificial altars
2632s	yeah that makes sense yeah i can i can
2634s	just hear my ceo like ready to teleport
2637s	behind me and break my neck right now
2638s	yeah yeah
2640s	um so yeah let's show off some examples
2643s	of some of the sorcery that you may be
2644s	able to cast
2646s	um so this is actually also a
2648s	uh example of exactly how the
2651s	um sorcery system actually like
2653s	functions in the game and how you cast
2655s	uh or invoke various sorceries so can
2657s	you walk us through some of the world
2658s	yeah i can give some context as well so
2660s	whenever you start playing the game
2662s	you'll encounter sorcery kind of
2664s	organically
2665s	uh part of the story
2667s	that is being told is that sorcerers
2669s	have been
2670s	uh kind of almost almost in a pilgrimage
2672s	style fashion sent out
2674s	uh
2675s	into different camps in the world and
2677s	you'll encounter the sorcerers and and
2679s	when you when if and when you take them
2681s	down you might find a mysterious map and
2684s	the map will lead you to somewhere in
2686s	the world that will lead you to find a
2689s	uh scary old tome
2691s	and that tone contains power the the
2694s	essence of the correct corrupted power
2696s	that
2696s	lets you cast magical spells and perform
2698s	rituals and
2701s	what you're doing whenever you read that
2702s	tone is you're learning a a language and
2705s	we call these the words of power
2707s	the words of power are used to construct
2709s	construct spells so andy if you can
2712s	actually
2713s	snap back to that video of casting again
2717s	whenever you're looking at this
2720s	set of uh stones that's coming up what
2722s	you're actually seeing is a
2723s	representation of those words
2725s	and you put the you put those words and
2727s	syllables together to build a phrase
2729s	that casts a spell
2731s	so the words of power are at the or
2733s	they're an ancient
2736s	you know mysterious language that at at
2738s	the core of its being gives you the
2740s	ability to perform this magic because
2742s	you've kind of absorbed that knowledge
2744s	in in learning it um
2747s	so
2749s	once you've gone out you learn the
2751s	system to unlock the words i'm not going
2753s	to spoil it all now because what fun
2755s	would that be but you know you figure
2757s	out how to learn all the words
2758s	you start to unlock more and more
2759s	sorceress power and you get more and
2762s	more spells along the way you'll see
2763s	more of those options appear whenever
2765s	you're casting spells or you'll learn to
2767s	craft more things and you just have more
2770s	tools and options available
2773s	one thing that also
2775s	um you can see in the top right corner
2777s	my character has
2779s	a lot of corruption
2781s	and you'll see actually corruption is uh
2782s	is now inexorably tied to sorcery in the
2786s	game now
2787s	um so each
2789s	various spells cause additional
2791s	corruption buildup on your character up
2793s	to a maximum of fifty percent corruption
2796s	as it's currently
2797s	uh and different different spells will
2799s	increase your corruption by different
2800s	amounts you can kind of see on this
2802s	example here like
2803s	uh obviously these values might be
2805s	subject to change but you can see here
2806s	like 20 corruption like so
2808s	uh casting the spell i believe this one
2810s	requires 20 requires i'm so sorry i'm so
2813s	sorry so there's kind of different power
2814s	tiers of spells as well and
2817s	as you go into those higher power tiers
2819s	they require more complex reagents to
2821s	cast a spell that's an important thing
2823s	to know is that casting spells does
2824s	require reagents because we wanted to
2826s	feel more ritualistic
2828s	we wanted to feel slower paced and not
2830s	like an action game where you're just
2832s	pushing a button on the hot bar and
2834s	flinging a spell out it should feel like
2836s	a ritual so
2838s	going to the world and collecting
2839s	reagents
2840s	collecting the things you need to learn
2842s	how to do the spells all of that is part
2844s	of making it feel more
2846s	premeditated more calculated right very
2848s	much so yeah
2849s	and as you cast spells they generate
2851s	corruption on your character they make
2853s	you more corrupt because magic at score
2855s	is inherently evil
2857s	in howard's universe there is no good
2859s	magic
2860s	all the magic that makes you more evil
2862s	makes your corruption increase
2864s	and you can cast more powerful spells
2866s	the higher your corruption is so some of
2868s	the more powerful spells that you've
2869s	seen in the trailer already like flying
2871s	the bat demon for an example
2874s	it requires a much higher level of
2876s	corruption so
2877s	if you want to be able to do that you
2879s	are going to have to risk your body and
2882s	you know give your health away as part
2885s	of the trade-off for being able to use
2886s	this power
2888s	and then you'll see in a bit too um well
2891s	i mean uh
2892s	having a ton of corruption also causes
2894s	your character to have
2896s	very visible
2897s	uh your character starts to suffer like
2899s	very visible side effects yes
2901s	for for allowing that corruption within
2903s	your body um
2904s	this is independent of sorcery as well
2906s	but we added a really cool effect on the
2908s	character that makes them become more
2909s	gaunt and pale
2911s	and you know
2912s	their veins start to stand out more with
2914s	like a black and blood looking kind of
2916s	effect inside them and
2918s	it's really cool and we've also added a
2920s	spell on top of that because i know a
2922s	lot of people play the game and they
2923s	they want to do magic and they don't
2924s	want to look nasty so we also added a
2926s	spell that actually lets you hide
2929s	that effect as well and you can turn
2931s	that on and off it actually i believe it
2933s	lasts forever until you cancel it
2935s	damn
2937s	yes this is the effect of being fully
2939s	corrupted yeah and then this is me very
2941s	conspicuously cropping the video so you
2943s	don't see the dev casting window and
2945s	then there you go
2948s	now you're not gross and nasty anymore
2949s	you're a
2951s	in your sky sorcerer you're a totally
2952s	normal person cool and good um
2957s	[Laughter]
2959s	all right let's show a couple more
2960s	things i don't know if you would know
2961s	this dennis but someone was saying like
2964s	doesn't sources tie into the braces at
2966s	all like as in like
2968s	something about you can't do sorcery
2970s	stuff if you have bracelet
2971s	or is that it is part of the story
2974s	um
2975s	i guess i won't divulge too much of it
2977s	myself
2978s	but i'll give you the high level
2980s	the high level is there's a new shadowy
2982s	sneaky figure in the exiled lands
2985s	he has found a way to cast magic despite
2987s	the bracelets
2989s	and beyond that i think i'll leave it up
2991s	to our
2993s	creative lead
2994s	or our content lead matt
2996s	to give more details
2999s	sorry i will i will try to talk louder
3001s	i'm sorry oh sorry you're fine
3004s	okay
3005s	yeah maybe i shouldn't do that
3008s	um so i i know we'll talk more about
3011s	this probably but someone had a question
3013s	about um
3014s	regards to
3015s	the impact that 3.0 will have on modding
3018s	um i don't know if we were going to
3019s	touch on that later or i could talk
3021s	about it a little bit now but sure
3024s	one big thing is we do have a relatively
3026s	large window of time prepared for
3028s	modders to be able to get their mods
3030s	ready
3031s	um i can't say exactly how long it will
3033s	be because that might give away
3035s	or or set precedent for what we expect
3037s	our launch date will be and also our
3039s	test live date
3041s	um but
3042s	we will go to test live we will have a
3044s	version of the dev kit that'll be ready
3046s	to update mods
3047s	and there there will be ample time for
3050s	people to update mods before the game
3051s	goes live
3053s	on top of that the mod ability of the
3054s	systems involved in sorcery
3057s	is
3058s	high so we wanted we knew that when we
3060s	made this other people would either want
3062s	to strip stuff out of it or add their
3063s	own or you know change it create their
3065s	own spells it's all moddable
3069s	um and sorry it's gonna be available on
3071s	sipta as well like yeah that's right
3073s	yeah everything that you see in 3.0 in
3075s	this age of sorcery update will be on
3077s	both maps
3081s	great great what we're seeing here is
3083s	one of the uh
3084s	uh spell called darkness which uh
3086s	creates a localized uh like
3089s	darkness for the lack of better term uh
3091s	and also spawns a whole bunch of these
3093s	uh spider webs all around uh throughout
3095s	the area which can cause uh character to
3098s	become ensnared you can use local light
3100s	sources for your character to see
3101s	through the darkness like this torch or
3103s	maybe the wisp that you saw earlier
3105s	and if you step out of the area you can
3107s	still see the area of effect and where
3108s	the darkness was cast off in the
3110s	distance and as you approach it you will
3113s	simply walk back into the darkness until
3115s	the effect ends and it lasts
3117s	like a minute or two or something
3118s	something along those lines right now
3120s	yeah some more cool details about this
3121s	spell actually are that there is local
3123s	light on your character that lets you
3124s	see in the darkness better than other
3126s	people seeing it
3127s	and if their npc is in the darkness area
3129s	when you cast it they'll actually start
3131s	to cower in fear and you can kind of go
3133s	through and start to dismantle camps and
3134s	kill things and take it apart
3136s	methodically instead of just hitting one
3138s	guy and aggroing everything in a half
3140s	mile radius
3143s	uh and kind of to touch on your uh part
3145s	about uh making sure that source view
3147s	feels like you it's something that you
3148s	want to like pre-meditate and calculate
3151s	because because of the kind of casting
3153s	time or the process like you definitely
3154s	kind of want to do these things a bit
3156s	ahead of time and also some spells will
3158s	when you cast it uh at least one in my
3160s	experience i saw
3162s	i was i was a ways away from some mobs
3164s	that uh weren't daggering me and as soon
3166s	as when i cast the spell they're like
3168s	you and they started running at me the
3170s	one that you used was specifically to
3172s	detect to like
3174s	get the attention of enemies
3175s	that one yes yeah so but i did that with
3178s	invisibility too and i cast invisibility
3180s	and the grey ones were like and they
3181s	just immediately came after me because i
3183s	was too close to that one i cast oh yeah
3184s	so maybe that was a bug i don't know
3185s	invisibility does give you it does
3188s	decrease the senses of enemies around
3189s	you as well
3191s	you can get closer to them but you can't
3194s	get right in their face if you get too
3195s	close they will still attack you gotcha
3198s	uh yeah i was gonna someone was from
3200s	chat was wondering if uh spells stack at
3202s	all so if you cast darkness and then
3203s	invisibility or some spells do some
3205s	spells don't so there are big ones that
3207s	are big environmental changes like we
3209s	have a a lightning storm that will just
3212s	blast
3213s	lightning bolts down at enemies below we
3215s	have that darkness spell
3217s	uh we have another one called call of
3219s	the dead that raises this deathly fog
3221s	out of the ground and zombies will fight
3223s	alongside you those big ones that have
3225s	an impact on the environment
3227s	are specific
3229s	to one area if someone casts the
3231s	lightning storm and you cast a call of
3233s	the dead underneath it the lightning
3234s	storm will go away because we can only
3236s	allow one major environmental spell in
3238s	the area but if you cast darkness and
3240s	you cast invisibility yeah you can run
3241s	into darkness invisible
3243s	sweet
3246s	ah let's see here let's show off this
3248s	bad boy
3251s	so talking about other things that can
3252s	affect the environment uh as well uh
3254s	there's uh there's this fun one called
3257s	the ice bridge which has some really i
3258s	think some interesting technical ads oh
3260s	yeah implications uh of course i'm up
3262s	here on this ridiculous height uh just
3264s	to
3265s	show an example of how
3267s	one could use like a really basic
3268s	example of how one could use an
3270s	icebridge to cross a chasm for example
3273s	uh the icebridge is destructible as far
3276s	as i'm aware um and so
3278s	yeah you can you can blow up an enemy
3280s	one if you want
3281s	um
3282s	yeah you can just whack it with a weapon
3284s	if an enemy puts an icebridge up you can
3286s	smack it and strike it down
3288s	similarly with the bat demon um by the
3290s	time you guys get it it'll it'll be
3292s	working the way it's supposed to be
3294s	right if you shoot someone on a bat
3295s	demon with an arrow it'll knock them off
3297s	right away cool yes
3299s	and npcs can hit people on the bat demon
3301s	pretty consistently as well uh
3303s	i was testing it at the little undead
3306s	camp next to the uh sinkhole the other
3308s	day and nice the archers there were just
3310s	annihilating me with life nice very good
3313s	uh and then as far as i'm aware we don't
3315s	have any plans to wipe servers right no
3317s	no i don't think so no everything that
3319s	we put in will just be an addition on
3321s	top of the game that's already there it
3322s	won't change anything about uh
3325s	you know
3326s	your character itself at a fundamental
3328s	level that requires wipe or your base at
3330s	a fundamental level
3331s	um when we get back into the perkin
3333s	attribute revamp later one thing to talk
3335s	about is like we will do an attribute
3337s	wipe
3338s	so
3339s	whenever you log in it will tell you
3340s	your attributes have been reset and you
3341s	can just automatically go and set them
3343s	back up
3345s	yeah we'll talk about the the specifics
3347s	of the perk like revamp as well in uh
3350s	just a little bit uh here i'm showing
3351s	off uh uh one of the sorceries called
3354s	detect resources which basically gives
3356s	you like a map hack that shows you uh
3359s	all sorts of uncommon or like mindable
3361s	resources in a pretty wide area
3364s	um
3367s	and so you can use this like if you if
3368s	you're in a particularly like mineral
3370s	dense area for example and you don't
3371s	know you want to see what like all the
3373s	all the bits were
3374s	uh you can use that to
3377s	see what's going on with that yeah each
3379s	resource has a different color and a
3381s	little effect that appears so you can
3382s	learn the colors or in the silhouettes
3383s	and know what you're seeing
3388s	this fun little lad is a demonic portal
3391s	this is one of the new buildings that
3392s	you can uh create
3394s	with the update yeah this is one of my
3396s	favorite things i love the effect
3399s	what does it do
3400s	so it's a personalized fast travel
3402s	system you don't need to absolutely rely
3405s	on the map room to get around and for
3407s	people play on sipta and modded maps
3409s	especially
3410s	this will be you know a great way to be
3411s	able to actually move around the map
3414s	it acts as like a placeable any other
3415s	replaceable or crafting station you
3417s	would put in your in a base so you'll
3420s	have to maintain it it'll have to have
3421s	you know land claim and decay rules
3423s	applied to it
3425s	uh but basically any any number of these
3428s	that you create for your clan
3430s	will be able to access each other and
3434s	when you step inside the portal some
3435s	stones will appear and show you the
3437s	names of the the buildings of you as
3440s	you've placed them out and the stones
3441s	actually point to those buildings in
3443s	space so if i'm at new river and i'm
3446s	looking one of the volcano the stone
3447s	will be pointing north toward the
3449s	volcano
3450s	and you know it'll give you an
3451s	indication of which direction you're
3452s	going whenever you go from point a to
3454s	point b and you can link multiple of
3456s	these together any any that your clan
3458s	builds will all be linked together sweet
3463s	uh so that's just a little taste of some
3465s	of the sorceries to come
3466s	um
3468s	i do want to then move into talking a
3470s	little bit about how corruption or so so
3473s	moving into the perk system which we
3475s	just mentioned
3477s	uh there will also be
3479s	the ability to corrupt your perks and in
3481s	addition to that so first we're going to
3483s	show
3484s	kind of give a little context of
3486s	the
3487s	upcoming prick revamp and then also show
3488s	you an example of what corrupting those
3491s	perks actually looks like
3494s	so first we're going to show this off
3496s	here actually let me
3498s	a quick edit
3501s	and then nope
3504s	and then that
3506s	showing off the new perk system so um as
3508s	that is said
3510s	you're loot you're gonna not lose all
3511s	your but you're gonna have all your
3512s	perks or all your all your attributes
3514s	reset
3515s	and then you'll be greeted now with this
3517s	updated uh perk window uh some of the
3520s	names are
3522s	um out of date in this video at the time
3524s	that it was taken i believe charisma is
3525s	now called leadership
3527s	as of the most recent uh like internal
3529s	build as far as i know uh and i don't
3531s	know about
3532s	building but that should be
3536s	anyway not again still undeveloped so um
3539s	one of the main goals of the perk revamp
3541s	was to this is actually important what
3543s	it's actually important to talk about
3545s	the leadership
3546s	yeah
3547s	so yeah because there's a lot of people
3548s	that pointed this out savage is gone yes
3551s	yeah
3552s	but the new names actually bring savage
3554s	back yeah
3556s	charisma is now authority authority so
3559s	that becomes the a where grit is now
3562s	grit moves down
3563s	and craftsmanship is
3566s	something that starts with an e
3569s	we just changed these names a couple of
3571s	days ago so it's really hard for me to
3573s	yeah
3574s	yeah
3575s	uh maybe maybe if quaglon's watching he
3577s	can drop me the expertise
3580s	oh is it expertise i think it is okay
3582s	that makes sense yeah so savages is bad
3584s	so everyone that was sad to see savage
3585s	gone savage is back
3587s	okay savage right savages right because
3590s	we did cut we did cut survival
3592s	right right um
3594s	i guess there's a ton to talk about with
3595s	perks and attributes specifically so is
3598s	there anywhere you want to start
3600s	gosh i mean i know
3602s	so would you like me to start
3604s	um
3605s	either way it's fine uh i mean i i know
3607s	that with the with the revamp one of the
3610s	main goals was to
3612s	make it more like a one-to-one uh sort
3614s	of experience where like each level you
3617s	get you get one
3618s	attribute point that you're gonna put in
3620s	so that makes i mean that makes things a
3622s	lot easier in my eyes um
3624s	to like kind of plan your builds better
3626s	or like calculate your builds better
3629s	and in addition to that while
3631s	streamlining the process
3633s	um you can see here that we are also now
3635s	adding a
3637s	choice of perks when you level up your
3640s	attribute
3641s	sufficiently um so in in strengths
3644s	example here
3645s	um you get you know you see everything
3647s	up okay my hand cut off you see
3649s	everything at the very top and then you
3650s	get the choice
3651s	and then you know when you get the third
3653s	perk you get to choose that and then the
3654s	fourth one is another choice and you can
3656s	see the the choosing option here
3658s	um
3659s	and that goes for for all the attributes
3661s	uh on the list
3663s	um
3664s	is there anything else that i'm missing
3665s	here
3666s	yeah i mean you pretty much touched on
3668s	it the whole the whole idea here is to
3670s	really shake up what's available in
3671s	terms of character customization and
3673s	progression and make it easier to plan
3675s	for stuff so that's why we went down to
3677s	you know 60 points total because level
3679s	cap is still 60. you get one point every
3681s	time you level now it's easier to plan
3683s	out how you can build stuff do i want to
3685s	do like
3686s	you know and max out two of them and
3688s	then have two it at 10 points each or do
3690s	i want to split one of those tens into
3692s	two fives
3693s	and we tried to make the the choices
3696s	at the 10 and 20 level a hard choice to
3699s	make so you're really deciding between
3701s	like two very you know impactful things
3704s	whenever you get to those those points
3706s	and we hope that that leads to a lot of
3708s	variety and builds and
3709s	you know right now when you play there's
3711s	kind of like three builds that you might
3712s	use depending on which activity you're
3714s	doing and for the most part it's pretty
3715s	fixed
3716s	um so changing this and allowing more
3718s	customization a little more
3719s	personalization i think will you know
3722s	make you feel more like you own your
3723s	character and it'll it'll let you do
3725s	more of the stuff you want to do instead
3727s	of just doing what's there because
3728s	there's no option
3729s	yeah like allowing for uh like really
3731s	giving you the option to like
3734s	each of those perk choices like you said
3736s	is like very uh i want to say that we're
3737s	like specialized so it's like the two
3739s	like really powerful options
3742s	um but you know of course picking one
3743s	locks you out of the other one until you
3744s	respec
3745s	uh and so yeah you have to like you know
3747s	make a make one of those hard decisions
3749s	that i like to make when i'm min-maxing
3751s	my character i think i'm investing my
3752s	character like which which direction i
3754s	want to go yeah um we have some
3756s	questions on like how weight or
3758s	encumbrance is happening
3760s	uh so it's actually built into that
3762s	expertise perk by default which is
3764s	craftsmanship on this screen that's
3766s	definitely yes yeah so but we added
3769s	minor bonuses to all the attributes as
3771s	well so if you invest in strength you'll
3773s	also get some more encumbrance as well
3775s	too because obviously it makes sense
3776s	that someone who's more strong should be
3778s	able to carry more right so encumbrance
3780s	will still be on that it'll be on that
3781s	bottom attribute that you see here
3784s	we increase the amount of encumbrance
3786s	that you get per point and this actually
3788s	goes to
3789s	towards all of the attributes like the
3791s	amount of strength that you get at the
3792s	end of spending 20 points in strength
3795s	now is similar to the amount that you
3797s	would have got from spending 50 points
3799s	in the old system it's just squashed
3801s	down so you gain a lot of power a lot
3802s	faster it's a little more front loaded
3805s	but in the end you'll still reach about
3807s	the same amount of power
3809s	okay um and two other really quick
3811s	questions yeah you may touch on this i
3812s	don't know um will armor and weapons
3815s	give attribute points
3817s	that's important because just looking up
3818s	like yeah good call good call yeah it
3821s	also goes into this build system as well
3823s	so previously uh whenever you put on
3825s	armor it would add attributes and then
3827s	it kind of muddied the picture of what
3828s	you were really spending your personal
3830s	development points and because you might
3832s	you might not really realize oh i put on
3834s	this chest and it gave me strength and i
3836s	take it off and now i don't have one of
3838s	the perks i had before
3839s	so we took the attribute points
3841s	themselves off of weapons and armor and
3844s	we added the derived stats
3846s	so
3846s	you can see in this in the strength
3848s	preview it says that strength adds
3850s	strength weapon damage
3851s	and uh
3853s	you know additional carry weight
3855s	whenever you get a piece of armor that
3857s	would have had strength before now it'll
3859s	have strength weapon damage so you get
3861s	what the stat what is derived from that
3863s	stat on the armor piece directly instead
3865s	of getting the attribute which then
3867s	gives you the stat
3869s	at the end of the day you're getting the
3870s	same stuff but the the picture of what
3873s	your attribute points are spent
3875s	doing is much more clear
3879s	and then are people's attributes going
3880s	to be reset upon up once the update's
3883s	out or i assume yeah but okay when you
3885s	log in you'll get a pop-up it'll be like
3887s	the first thing you see that your
3888s	attributes have been reset and then you
3890s	can just go right back into the menu and
3892s	start fishing out what you want to spend
3893s	them on yeah
3894s	uh also of note uh we are also going to
3898s	be uh resetting a lot of binds i think
3900s	uh with the update yeah i believe that's
3903s	it's important housekeeping yeah we have
3904s	yeah because a lot of things have
3906s	changed in terms of input and how you
3908s	control the game
3909s	as far as like specifically building is
3912s	one of the big ones
3914s	but along with that we've made changes
3916s	that let you
3917s	kind of double bind inputs or customize
3919s	your bindings a lot more so like right
3921s	now if you
3923s	don't want the crouch button to make you
3925s	let go when you're climbing you can
3927s	change just the stop like the stop
3930s	climbing button
3931s	and crouch and have those be separate
3932s	buttons so we decoupled everything and
3935s	made a lot more customization available
3937s	but as a result we need to
3939s	set everybody back to the beginning so
3940s	there's no confusion about
3942s	uh why is this button opening a menu
3945s	and like crafting an item and making me
3949s	jump all at the same time or you know
3950s	whatever wacky bindings might occur if
3953s	we didn't reset them yeah so
3956s	sorry in advance but yeah just just know
3957s	that you'll have to redo a lot of your
3959s	binds and just so you know yeah this all
3960s	this stuff like all the opening your
3962s	attributes your inventory all that uh
3964s	it's tabbed now
3965s	oh yeah
3966s	whoa no more eye to open the inventory
3969s	it's it's you know a little more
3971s	keyboard friendly being that i has a
3973s	keyboard button we changed it all the
3974s	tab to open but i mean it's right that's
3976s	more organized exactly
3979s	yeah yeah yeah muscle memory i know is a
3981s	very powerful thing but yeah so the all
3983s	that stuff you see at the top there will
3984s	yeah just be opened up with the uh tab
3986s	button now i think the defaults too are
3988s	that you can i think it's shift q and
3990s	shift e to switch between the tabs at
3991s	the top okay cool so you don't tab
3993s	through the tabs once you open the menu
3995s	you have other shortcuts to go through
3996s	those menus
3998s	sweet
4000s	thank you thank you and then um
4002s	real quick also
4004s	we had mentioned that there will also be
4006s	a way to corrupt your perks
4010s	yeah people are really a lot of
4012s	questions about uh bow builds like
4013s	accuracy and how that is now
4016s	changed yeah that's an important thing
4017s	good question uh so we took all the
4019s	weapons in the game and we put them in
4021s	one of two categories a weapon is now
4023s	either primarily a strength weapon or an
4025s	agility weapon so if you want to be a
4028s	character that is primarily you know an
4030s	agile
4031s	sneaky jerk who runs around and stabs
4033s	things in the back you don't even need
4035s	to invest in strength anymore if you
4036s	don't want to
4038s	you can just invest in agility and then
4040s	spend the rest of your points in all the
4041s	utility and survival based things and
4043s	the other attributes
4046s	that being said you can invest in
4047s	strength and if you do you'll get about
4049s	an extra 10 damage on top but the vast
4053s	majority of the damage for those agile
4055s	weapons will come from agility those are
4057s	included as agile weapons
4059s	and you will get increased damage from
4061s	increasing agility there is no more as
4063s	you can see no more accuracy attribute
4065s	it's all rolled into agility together so
4067s	over clapping so many people are like
4068s	i'm a sneaky jerk yeah me too roger by
4071s	the way sorry guys
4073s	i'm just a i'm just a jerk period
4078s	i'm i'm more of the the
4081s	yeah yeah
4082s	and you can get strength out as much as
4084s	you want hell yeah and you know be just
4086s	as strong as you were before if you also
4088s	put points into agility just like
4090s	agility gets more damage from strength
4092s	strength is more damage from agility as
4093s	well there's about an extra 10
4096s	shave there you can get
4098s	but it comes at a cost because if you
4099s	spend those full 20 points into agility
4101s	just to get a little more damage you
4103s	lose a lot of utility and vitality grit
4106s	um you know all the other attributes
4108s	have a lot to offer you'll find
4113s	sweet
4114s	i'm gonna talk now about a little bit of
4116s	a corrupted perks oh yeah so in addition
4119s	to this new perk system uh and tying
4122s	into the the um
4124s	like increased kind of uh emphasis on
4126s	corruption and importance of corruption
4128s	like in in like the general gameplay of
4130s	conan exiles
4131s	once you hit a certain threshold of
4134s	corruption on your character you then
4137s	gain the opportunity to then corrupt
4138s	your perks um
4141s	it's it's a little it's cut off by the
4142s	the logo at the very top there but
4143s	you'll see actually hold on let me
4145s	i'm not going to move it around but you
4147s	can see the little pop-up pump ups here
4150s	little soul remnants yeah these guys
4152s	these little little soupy green bottles
4154s	those are soul remnants and so
4158s	you can use the sacrificial altar which
4160s	you saw in our intro screen to throw
4163s	someone on there and harvest their soul
4166s	and then when you when you take their
4168s	soul that becomes a
4170s	consumable like reagent to then go ahead
4172s	and corrupt your perk of choice and i
4175s	believe at least right now in this
4176s	example uh each perk point or each
4179s	attribute point that you want to add
4180s	corrupt
4181s	costs one soul remnant so
4184s	um
4185s	but as you move uh as you corrupt your
4187s	attribute you'll notice that the perks
4189s	will also change into special
4191s	corruption
4193s	only
4194s	perks
4195s	and so yeah we're just showing strength
4197s	again in this example but you'll see
4198s	that the first
4200s	tier of perk from strength transforms
4204s	into something that scales with
4206s	uh corrupted strength and then the
4208s	second option then turns into uh
4210s	you know what
4212s	no evil villain in the conan world is
4215s	complete without a good old kick good
4216s	mule kick good old mule kick hell yeah
4219s	uh you don't keep your original perk
4220s	right it gets overwritten by that's
4221s	right you corrupt your body you corrupt
4223s	your you know your very self and any any
4226s	any attribute your character or your
4229s	your person would have had from being
4230s	strong before
4231s	it's kind of wiped away and replaced
4233s	with a little more twisted version yeah
4235s	yeah
4236s	and sorry
4238s	um
4238s	when it comes to dancers and
4239s	entertainers so what's the deal with
4241s	that like things that reduce corruption
4243s	yeah so they still do what they did
4245s	before
4246s	one of the caveats with corrupting
4248s	yourself with the attribute system when
4250s	when you do corrupt attributes your
4252s	character will start to gain
4253s	uncleansable corruption so this
4256s	character and in the example here
4258s	corrupting an attribute halfway would
4259s	mean that 25 of their health bar is
4262s	uncleansable
4263s	you can still gain more corruption
4264s	beyond that point you can still go up to
4266s	50
4267s	but 25 of that will be removable
4270s	if you max out any one of these
4271s	attributes fully corrupted you will have
4274s	a permanent 50 corruption on your
4276s	character which means you can never go
4278s	above 50 health
4280s	so that's that's the cost that is the
4282s	cost of corruption it comes at the cost
4284s	of your health the cost of your stamina
4286s	but it gives a extreme amount of power
4289s	this is kind of really like a glass
4291s	cannon build when you max out your
4292s	strength like this because you know you
4294s	throw all your health away but you start
4296s	to do massive damage with that first
4298s	corruption perk that lets you deal more
4300s	damage the more corruption you have or
4303s	the more corrupted your attribute is
4305s	and that can be cleansed with uh you
4307s	know the standard means any of the
4309s	standard potions it will reset your
4310s	attributes you could remove the
4312s	permanent corruption and and become
4314s	cleanseable again
4317s	great but yeah if you want to re-corrupt
4319s	you know if you want to re-corrupt your
4320s	your attributes then you would have to
4322s	to harvest more souls to be able to
4324s	corrupt your thing go through that
4325s	process but yeah you know if you if you
4327s	don't you know want to
4329s	uh uh
4331s	live with the consequences of your
4332s	decisions
4333s	every every every uh every time you
4336s	drain a soul from uh
4338s	a thrall it'll give you five soul
4341s	lessons so it takes four lives to
4344s	corrupt
4344s	your body that's that's the price of
4346s	maximum corruption is four lives
4349s	um
4350s	and can you preview the corrupted perks
4353s	or you can't preview them right now and
4355s	it's pretty much an in theme like an
4357s	in-universe themed kind of decision
4358s	right like
4360s	if if you are dedicated to this dark
4362s	magic you kind of trust in that it will
4364s	give you the power that you're asking
4367s	and i know that there will be a wiki
4368s	page up yeah within like a minute within
4371s	five minutes of the chess live patch
4372s	that has all of them but in terms of the
4374s	experience that you get to we want to
4376s	make things feel as dark and evil and
4379s	you know
4380s	like perverse as it can right yeah and
4382s	also like capturing that element of like
4385s	uh you know you you're appearing behind
4387s	the veil or beyond the veil kind of on
4388s	your own and kind of experimenting and
4390s	meddling with powers that you may not
4391s	necessarily fully understand
4393s	and so you know part of that uh
4396s	mystery yeah yeah part of that mystique
4398s	is like oh you don't know exactly what
4399s	you're going to get when you corrupt
4400s	your body initially uh and that that
4402s	kind of philosophy sort of extends to
4404s	actual
4405s	the very act of casting sorceries when
4407s	you invoke those words of power is that
4409s	you kind of have to see like like
4411s	there's a description of like what's
4412s	going on but like it's not like
4414s	um
4416s	like there's not like an explicit like
4417s	chain of things that you just select
4419s	that you kind of like as you as your
4420s	repertoire
4422s	uh expands and you collect more uh
4425s	options for your source for i'll say
4427s	then you're kind of encouraging like oh
4428s	like i just got this new page like
4431s	time to test it out and see what the
4433s	what the hell does this do and like kind
4434s	of yeah sorry see what happens and then
4436s	hopefully not like
4438s	i don't know have it backfire on your
4439s	way i mean probably won't happen but
4441s	that's that's the magic will backfire on
4443s	you well directly
4445s	yes
4446s	for now yeah sounds like a great mod
4448s	though
4451s	cool okay uh
4453s	that covers a lot of that
4454s	so that is the attribute system uh next
4456s	we want to talk a little bit about the
4459s	building system i know you guys have a
4460s	ton of questions um we'll we'll try to
4464s	answer some at the end if we can
4466s	uh we also have we still have a lot more
4468s	to go through too yeah we're yeah most
4471s	we're nearing the end of our initial
4472s	notes um
4474s	but yeah we'll we'll a lot for a fair
4477s	amount of time to be able to answer like
4478s	whatever questions and
4480s	concerns that you might have either you
4481s	know either from before today or after
4484s	watching this if you have anything else
4485s	that you wanted to ask we'll try to uh
4488s	make some time for that
4489s	gonna switch to us talking heads over
4491s	here
4492s	uh and so one of the other features
4494s	coming up is the creative mode uh you
4496s	might have seen a little bit of that in
4497s	our trailer um but it is
4500s	uh the main thing to keep the main thing
4501s	about that is that um
4503s	all the entire building system is
4506s	essentially now housed within a new
4508s	craftable item simply called the
4509s	construction hammer uh it's a very
4511s	simple item to craft uh it costs
4514s	like a little bit of water stone or
4515s	something like that just extremely basic
4517s	materials and then once you craft that
4519s	and equip it like a weapon
4521s	it is through that that you will be able
4522s	to access
4523s	um
4524s	all your building materials all your
4526s	various options that you have
4529s	um and in addition to that they'll be
4532s	uh like one touch the contextual options
4535s	where like you can just like
4536s	i think by default it's like you press
4538s	right mouse button on your mouse
4540s	and it just automatically switches to
4543s	the delete brush so you can just like if
4545s	you placed a bunch of stuff down and you
4546s	made a mistake you can just hit right
4547s	click
4548s	delete and then hit right click again
4549s	and then go back to billy and then
4551s	um if you
4553s	uh
4554s	like let's say you're like you know
4555s	building building up a bunch of walls
4558s	and
4559s	uh you think oh like i want to add a
4560s	couple details in this corner like you
4561s	might switch over to one thing you know
4563s	let's say you put down a brazier and
4564s	then you want to go back to building
4565s	walls uh by default on pc you just press
4568s	middle mouse button on like
4570s	whatever thing that you want to
4572s	go back to building you hit middle mouse
4574s	button and then it you'll see a little
4575s	button like above your um
4577s	hot bar but it'll then
4579s	select whatever you pressed
4581s	as like your selected building item and
4582s	then you can go back to like building
4583s	walls for example and then that that
4585s	also works with other placeables like
4587s	razers and and all that
4589s	yeah and anything you put down that
4590s	could be built through the menu you just
4592s	look at it press middle mouse or r3 and
4593s	you select that piece with it i can't
4596s	express how fast it is it's so nice it's
4598s	so much nicer for everybody it's better
4600s	for mouse and keyboard it's better for
4602s	gamepad like objectively
4605s	it's so nice yeah and then hand in hand
4607s	with that also is the new creative mode
4609s	which you can then uh i believe you have
4611s	to be admin to be able to access that
4615s	but whatever yeah so what it does is it
4617s	um it clears out a bunch of unnecessary
4620s	ui elements because it turns you
4622s	invulnerable
4623s	uh you are cannot be detected or
4625s	attacked by hostile npcs
4627s	uh and so yeah it removes your health
4629s	bar uh stamina bar a bunch of other
4632s	different elements you can get building
4633s	yeah so you get more screen space and
4634s	then yeah you get you learn every single
4636s	recipe
4637s	uh like building recipe in the game
4639s	instantly
4640s	uh you can build unlimited numbers of
4642s	them
4643s	uh and then there is a toggle fly mode
4645s	where if you double tap space or double
4647s	tap jump yeah you toggle between free
4649s	flight mode
4651s	and being able to walk around yeah and
4653s	then of course of all the other
4654s	um like shortcuts that are available
4656s	through the construction hammer are also
4658s	available in creative mode so like uh if
4660s	you want to just like fly around and
4661s	while you you know build up something
4662s	like you can just yeah select select
4664s	some walls and build some things up and
4665s	then
4666s	uh you know go go select a torch with
4668s	middle mouse and then add a few torches
4670s	and then just like hit a button to open
4671s	up the window and select which other
4673s	building pc one put a bunch of those up
4674s	and use your shortcuts to kind of swap
4676s	between each one and then like fly
4679s	around it really quickly if you want to
4680s	get back inside and like get a quick
4682s	detail like you can just double tap jump
4683s	and
4684s	uh drop back in it's easier to
4686s	participate in building contests
4690s	yeah
4691s	the guy in our marketing team that makes
4693s	all of the awesome buildings that you
4694s	see in our trailers and everything so
4696s	yeah yeah uh sat down last week and
4699s	uh i had to see like a suggestion for
4701s	him to mix a couple of our building sets
4702s	together
4703s	and he was like yeah i sat down for
4705s	about 15 minutes and threw this building
4707s	set together and it looks great i can't
4709s	believe how fast the new building system
4711s	is so it's
4712s	it's it's there's a slight learning
4714s	curve when you get into it and you might
4716s	be inclined to think oh this is so much
4718s	worse but stick with it for like five
4720s	minutes and i promise yeah
4723s	the very yeah the very first time i got
4725s	to play like a test build internal let's
4727s	just like like what's going on like my i
4729s	didn't really understand what's going
4730s	with my binds i think this is before the
4731s	binds got wiped too so i was like some
4733s	of the things weren't working but
4735s	once everything was working the way it
4736s	was supposed to be for like you know
4739s	doll when you get the hands on this
4740s	update i was able to just like build a
4742s	whole bunch of examples and just like
4743s	have a ton of fun like really fast
4745s	um so hopefully you have the same
4747s	experience um and touching back on
4750s	creative mode right now it is just for
4752s	server admin so you do have to have
4753s	admin to do that we are working on some
4755s	stuff that we plan to come out later no
4757s	official release date or anything where
4759s	we want to be able to make it available
4760s	for anyone on a server so you could
4762s	potentially make a creative server and
4764s	just say anyone that logs in can toggle
4765s	it on and off
4767s	um or you know adding that as a setting
4769s	and a server uh you know normal complete
4771s	your pvp server as well
4773s	oh and one note i did i did see a quick
4774s	thing a quick question in chat uh it
4776s	unlocks every everything that you
4779s	that you as a player can build so like
4782s	if you don't have a specific dlc or you
4785s	know coming up with a specific building
4786s	package or something like that owned
4788s	then you won't be able to place those
4790s	buildings down
4791s	until you you know buy the dlc or buy it
4793s	from you know or earn it from the battle
4795s	pass or buy it from the shop or
4796s	something like that i was just in firm
4797s	informed the creative mode server
4799s	settings already in cool so
4801s	yeah the release date's still tbd i
4803s	don't know what you want for me
4806s	right nice very good
4808s	nice yeah i love these live updates that
4810s	we're getting on slack here fresh out of
4812s	the oven
4813s	thanks paul
4815s	um
4817s	so yeah that's uh that's an exciting new
4819s	feature that's also going to be
4819s	launching
4820s	with this update yeah
4822s	um
4823s	and then
4825s	there's a bunch of other
4827s	like i don't want to say miscellaneous
4828s	but there's like other like a bunch of
4830s	other like quality of life changes and
4831s	balance changes that we'll be making of
4833s	course
4834s	uh with the update lots of bug fixes uh
4836s	we are going to start also working on
4839s	um
4840s	like a bunch of updates to like
4842s	followers and thralls like just across
4845s	the board um
4847s	and this is going to be like a
4848s	multi-stage process so when the update
4850s	launches i believe like generally
4852s	speaking through all hp is going to get
4853s	nerfed uh they will have end damage
4856s	actually so
4857s	generally speaking they'll have less hp
4859s	and less damage however
4862s	you can strengthen them with the new um
4865s	what was what was the new name of the uh
4868s	the authority authority yeah so once uh
4871s	so now thralls will be directly the
4872s	thrall's effectiveness will now be
4874s	directly affected by your authority
4876s	attribute so increasing that will make
4878s	all your followers and thralls and all
4880s	that much stronger taking it a step back
4882s	we know that the thralls are insane
4884s	right now in terms of yes the dam the
4886s	potential damage they can deal and the
4887s	amount of health they have and it feels
4889s	like the thrall is the star of the show
4891s	and really when you're playing this
4894s	barbarian power fantasy game we want you
4896s	to be the star of the show so we've made
4898s	some adjustments now and we'll continue
4900s	to keep making tweaks and adjustments as
4901s	we add updates and quality of life
4903s	features but like andy mentioned thrills
4905s	will have substantially less health in
4906s	this update
4908s	uh one of the most notable patch notes
4909s	is that uh beastmaster tamos had his
4913s	his uh tables adjusted to be correct
4915s	there was a little bit of a bug
4916s	which led to his absurd health pools how
4918s	much did he have like
4920s	it's it's tens of thousands at the
4922s	moment yeah maxed out with the right
4924s	perks
4925s	and and now you you'll be lucky to have
4927s	him hit like 12 000 which is still an
4930s	insane number can i still point out uh
4933s	but the changes that we've made are
4934s	meant to be safe we don't want to nerf
4936s	the game so hard that the content
4938s	becomes unplayable or you can't you know
4940s	you can't participate in it so we are
4942s	taking steps to get
4943s	get it to where thralls are less of the
4945s	thing in the spotlight and players are
4947s	more however that authority attribute is
4949s	meant to mitigate that as well so if
4951s	you're a person who likes playing with
4952s	followers and you and you that's just
4954s	the way you like to engage with the game
4957s	uh you can you won't gain the health
4958s	back that they lost but we did also
4960s	reduce their damage by 50 across the
4962s	board you can get that damage back
4964s	through the attribute and the end like
4966s	the capstone perks on there are really
4968s	cool you can you can make like a single
4970s	thrall substantially stronger or have
4972s	multiple thralls
4974s	on top of that with sorcery we've added
4976s	new systems that like modders will
4978s	probably be interested in for the
4980s	followers themselves where we can assign
4981s	a type to a thrall or a follower a
4984s	thrallower
4986s	you can change the number of followers
4989s	of that type that follow you so if you
4991s	want to make a new follower type that's
4992s	unicorns make it so 70 unicorns can
4995s	follow you
4996s	uh you know that's the thing you could
4997s	mod in
4998s	by default now whenever you raise the
5000s	dead with necromancy you can have three
5003s	undead followers that'll chase you
5004s	around and those zombies will fight for
5006s	you on your behalf if you pick that
5008s	attribute that adds one to the pool you
5010s	can have four undead following you
5012s	around doing your bidding for you
5016s	great excellent
5017s	and then we have other stuff planned uh
5020s	for thralls
5021s	in a future update beyond this one but i
5024s	won't make it in for this specific
5026s	update but we do have more planned with
5028s	regards to thrall balance and how you
5030s	interact with them yeah one one big one
5032s	that we're planning to go in with
5034s	chapter two
5035s	is the down button on out system so
5037s	right now there can be a lot of
5038s	frustration when you just lose a throne
5040s	something happens there was no chance
5042s	you could mitigate it as a player the
5043s	throw goes down excuse me
5047s	um so we've added a system in that we
5049s	have internally right now and we're just
5051s	testing
5052s	um
5053s	that the throw will kind of fall on the
5055s	ground or the follower if it's a you
5057s	know a cat or
5058s	whatever they'll go they'll fall down on
5060s	the ground you can interact with them to
5062s	you know kind of revive them give them a
5064s	pat on the back bring them back up to
5065s	their feet and they'll come up with some
5067s	lessened amount of health keep fighting
5068s	with you at some point that breaks and
5070s	they will eventually die if they die too
5073s	much
5074s	um but it's it's really quality of life
5076s	for loss mitigation
5078s	yeah yeah just giving you an opportunity
5080s	to like if something happens just like
5082s	way beyond your control you at least
5084s	like can can bring back like your
5085s	favorite follower or something like that
5087s	and pick them back up so that way they
5089s	you know if you're just like off doing
5090s	something else they just die
5093s	mysteriously or something like that you
5094s	if you can get back in time i'm assuming
5096s	like you can you can revive them but not
5098s	quite ready for this update i want to
5100s	check yeah it's just like
5102s	let us poop and game
5103s	please
5107s	um okay honest more serious though
5109s	someone did have a question about um
5111s	what's going to happen with artisan
5112s	table
5114s	arts and table still exists um
5117s	we're still looking at how much we want
5119s	to take off the table and slap on to the
5121s	build menu so
5123s	they might go away they might just get
5125s	integrated into the menu into the build
5127s	menu entirely
5129s	i don't have anything really official to
5130s	say
5131s	okay cool
5132s	and not pooping either i'm assuming
5135s	it's not planned for this update cool
5137s	good very good
5141s	what's next oh also yeah um big feature
5145s	grass
5146s	yeah there's a grass update at the end
5149s	oh okay no i'm just kidding so now can i
5151s	touch it when you when you place it when
5153s	you place building pieces down now
5155s	that pesky pesky grass that would stick
5157s	through the foundation well it's finally
5158s	yeah it's cool and last
5160s	it comes along with that cool thing like
5162s	you know the rain changes so it no
5163s	longer rains indoors it's all those
5165s	little touches that make it feel a
5166s	little more real right and clearing out
5168s	that grass with building pieces is a
5169s	pretty big one yeah having yeah having
5172s	all those blades of grass popping
5173s	through your your storm glass foundation
5175s	stuff like that will be a thing of the
5176s	past
5178s	yeah it's 20 22 y'all
5180s	we're in the future finally we can
5182s	finally
5184s	we're finally making it so you can't
5185s	touch grass you don't touch grass when
5187s	you build things
5190s	excuse me
5191s	pardon
5192s	um
5193s	okay great and then
5195s	we're going to move into just like a
5196s	grab bag of various other things that we
5197s	wanted to just like talk about kind of
5199s	more rapid fire uh this is more like a
5201s	general thing um but there'll be some
5203s	combat updates uh there will be a new in
5206s	combat standing animation that we're
5208s	actually kind of excited about uh
5210s	characters will no longer permanently
5211s	just like be hunched over constantly
5213s	with their weapon out like they will
5214s	actually stand upright like we finally
5216s	gave them a posture check yeah it's just
5218s	i think it's a posture check uh but it
5220s	is higher up the hips are raised up and
5222s	the character stands more upright and
5223s	less hunched over so yeah
5225s	your character feels like they're a
5226s	little more ready for action and a
5228s	little less uh
5229s	trolly
5230s	yeah yeah just like kind of walking
5231s	around like oh yeah it's time like
5233s	you're not just stalking your prey to
5235s	like yeah go hit some
5237s	rocks or something there's a lot of
5238s	really minor tweaks in there too that i
5240s	think you guys will appreciate when you
5241s	get your hands on it but um the
5243s	character can rotate a little faster
5245s	whenever if you're in like controller
5246s	movement mode
5248s	we updated the animations for that
5250s	we made changes to lock on targeting to
5253s	make it a little easier to use like
5255s	ideally i think it would be great if we
5256s	live in a world where the lock-on is you
5258s	know worth using and switching between
5260s	so depending on the context you have at
5261s	the moment you might want to be fixed
5263s	fixated on something and smashing it or
5265s	you might want to lock off and turn and
5266s	go away to dodge something
5268s	but the lock on should
5271s	place the target in a better space
5273s	screen space wise like right now uh in
5276s	live whenever you lock onto something it
5278s	kind of pushes it to the top of the
5279s	screen which makes it so your
5280s	character's looking down a lot
5282s	we've made some adjustments so it kind
5284s	of puts them more eye level and the
5286s	camera is a little a little more to the
5287s	side
5288s	uh while you're locked on your character
5290s	can move at full
5292s	basically i think it's full or close to
5294s	the same speed you can move forward at
5296s	so strafe speed has changed and you can
5297s	strafe faster left hand right now which
5300s	also changes the way you engage with
5301s	combat like a lot of enemies that you
5302s	had to
5304s	kind of eat attacks from before if you
5307s	were locked on you might be able to
5308s	actually you know step out of the way of
5309s	the attack just before it happens now
5311s	which feels really good
5314s	good
5316s	yeah
5317s	we'll also be uh in addition to that uh
5319s	we'll be making some changes to just
5321s	like specific uh balance uh including
5325s	addressing mounted combat in pvp
5327s	um
5328s	so we're going to be adding a
5330s	damage multiplier
5332s	when you're on the ground versus a
5334s	mounted player uh this is a weapon
5336s	specific or weapon dependent
5338s	uh
5339s	basically a stat and so like small
5341s	dagger you know small weapons like
5342s	daggers will not have much of a
5343s	multiplier but like if you have like a
5344s	spear for example that will do
5346s	significantly more damage stamina damage
5348s	stamina i'm sorry to a mounted target
5352s	um in addition to that um across the
5355s	board uh we are going to be increasing
5357s	the stamina costs uh for for all hostile
5360s	actions taken on
5362s	while mounted uh especially the lance
5366s	um
5367s	so like i just i saw a lot of people
5369s	asking about that yeah specifically the
5370s	lance yeah so uh stamina cost will be
5373s	increased for the lance uh additionally
5375s	uh like during like it's active frames
5377s	like when it's out uh that will drain
5378s	additional stamina
5380s	and then each time you hit or impact
5382s	with the lance you will have to like
5385s	instead of it just like being out
5386s	forever and you're just kind of like
5388s	you just turn into the juggernaut just
5389s	always like literally have it out
5390s	forever um it ends the attack it ends
5393s	the attack and then you have to have to
5394s	kind of like readjust yourself and
5396s	actually like bring it back down again
5397s	to then make a follow-up attack so you
5398s	can't just like ram
5400s	unlimited targets in a single swipe so
5402s	yeah the lance acts a lot more like a
5403s	power shot on the bow right now how you
5405s	hold the button and it holds it out and
5407s	your stamina drains but instead of
5409s	holding holding the the string drawn
5410s	you're holding the lance out and we've
5412s	we've addressed uh a majority of the
5415s	cases where multi-hits would occur with
5417s	the lance as well so
5419s	a lot of the reason you die instantly to
5421s	lance right now is it can hit you like
5423s	10 times you know in a single frame and
5426s	we've we've worked out almost all the
5427s	problems with that to where you
5429s	shouldn't be taking really substantial
5431s	lands damage anymore and then like andy
5433s	said once one hit occurs with the lance
5434s	you hit anyone with it once it pulls the
5436s	lance up again and you have to you know
5438s	wait for it to reset and then pull it
5440s	back down and have the stamina to use it
5442s	again yeah so it should still be a
5443s	powerful option but we don't want it to
5444s	be like the de facto like meta for
5446s	mounted combat and also just not
5448s	instantly delete people yeah because of
5450s	an unintended like effect
5452s	uh and obviously like that's something
5453s	that we can pay attention to and like if
5455s	if we feel the lance is still like too
5457s	powerful or too weak like we can always
5458s	make adjustments that's like number
5460s	stuff
5461s	um and then also the uh
5464s	as at least as of the writing of our
5465s	notes uh that that mounted damage
5467s	multiplier or that that ground to
5469s	mounted damage multiplier will also be a
5471s	server setting that you can change
5473s	uh and so yeah if you want to make it
5475s	like extra punishing you can ramp it up
5478s	or if you want to just like have it not
5479s	be a factor you can also do that
5481s	up to you
5482s	um we're also going to be doing some
5484s	tweaks to some specific weapons uh for
5486s	example two-hand spear combo timing has
5488s	been adjusted between the third and
5490s	fourth attacks the windows shorter so a
5492s	little bit more natural um there will be
5494s	a
5495s	larger dodge window on
5498s	several weapons
5499s	um and two hand axes are also getting
5502s	just kind of an across-the-board damage
5503s	buff in addition to a larger dodge
5505s	window as well yeah two-handed axes got
5507s	a lot a lot of love yeah in terms of
5509s	those windows like there were a lot of
5511s	two-handed attacks you couldn't cancel
5513s	before with dodge and it was
5514s	inconsistent with all the other weapons
5516s	which you can cancel at almost any time
5517s	when you're attacking
5519s	so we change axes to be more uniform
5521s	with everything else hopefully they see
5522s	a little more use
5526s	and then we are also making some changes
5528s	or adjustments to building health
5530s	and so drawbridge health
5533s	will be reduced i believe substantially
5535s	and then gate frame hp is probably also
5537s	going to get reduced a bit
5539s	um
5540s	additionally
5541s	health for all tier 2 buildings
5544s	will be going up significantly across
5546s	the board
5547s	um to to incentivize like that makes it
5550s	a much more substantial upgrade over
5552s	just tier one so that way you're not
5553s	just spamming a bunch of tier one stuff
5555s	like tier two will actually be
5557s	you know the goal is to have that
5558s	actually be like worth investing into to
5560s	build up your base
5561s	um it also reduces the delta between
5564s	tier two and tier three i mean tier
5565s	three is not the only option if you need
5568s	to build this and protect some stuff
5569s	right so we kind of want to try to
5571s	reduce the the barrier to entry and let
5574s	more people get into raids and more
5575s	people fighting each other and
5577s	having
5578s	tier two
5579s	be more effective for less cost than
5581s	tier three is a way that you can rebuild
5584s	bases faster keep the engagement going
5586s	and
5588s	not feel totally decimated if someone
5590s	wipes your base off you know you can get
5591s	back into it yeah faster and ideally
5594s	like people actually use doors
5596s	because door hp is also affected by this
5598s	so you're not just like spamming walls
5600s	and just removing them to bring it back
5601s	and all that jazz so
5603s	that's the idea yes so i'm i'm so sorry
5606s	if i'm being super quiet i'm i'm reading
5607s	chat and i'm also collecting your
5609s	questions like the you know a lot of
5610s	questions yeah i'm making sure to not
5611s	have chat like up on the screen because
5613s	i'll just get super distracted and get
5614s	off track and so
5616s	don't worry i see you nicole is being
5618s	our all-seeing eye and so thank you
5619s	nicole i appreciate that
5621s	uh was there anything that popped up
5623s	really quick that you wanted to oh yeah
5625s	someone wanted to couple notes here but
5627s	i i figured maybe because they're all
5628s	kind of
5629s	from what
5630s	sure yeah yeah gotcha so yeah um
5633s	and then i think
5635s	i think we also want to make
5637s	uh like demonic fire orbs stronger for
5640s	siege
5641s	to do more siege damage demon fire orbs
5643s	yeah um i don't remember the exact
5645s	specifics from the patterns off the top
5647s	of my head but
5648s	i think quaglin is going to give me a
5649s	little
5650s	fill in here real quick we wanted to
5652s	make them a more viable uh option
5655s	they weigh more and the persistent
5657s	effect deals more damage so
5659s	if you
5661s	you can you can use these to take
5662s	buildings out over time
5664s	uh
5665s	better than you currently can with a
5667s	demon fire or sweet
5669s	um
5670s	i think that covers a lot of the kind of
5672s	a lot of the nitty-gritty slash big
5674s	broad strokes that are coming up
5677s	another really big one actually is the
5679s	uh
5679s	the stability setting
5682s	oh yeah tell me about server side
5683s	there's a server setting now that's a
5684s	multiplier that changes your stability
5688s	on buildings so if you want to turn off
5690s	building stability and just build into
5693s	the ether like impossible structures
5695s	yeah you can build euclidean
5696s	architecture essentially because there's
5698s	no stability excellent uh as a factor
5701s	you can also you know increase or
5702s	decrease that and since it's a
5704s	multiplier uh you know the standard loss
5706s	from like a wall to a ceiling is 20
5708s	stability which you know is 20 so if you
5712s	make it half that
5713s	if the multiplier is 0.5 you'll only
5715s	lose 10 stability going from a wall to a
5717s	ceiling and if it's zero it's just no
5718s	stability while it's 100 across the
5720s	board so we can make it yeah is it again
5722s	really great for building concrete yeah
5724s	yeah is it wait is it euclidean or
5726s	non-euclidean
5727s	non-euclidean yes finally my dreams of
5729s	trading
5730s	and uh
5732s	mcs you're inspired i thought it was not
5734s	i thought non-euclidean was the one that
5735s	was just like does not conform to
5741s	okay hyperbolic anyway impossible
5744s	structure is going to be exciting i get
5745s	to create my my mcs your impossible
5747s	structures or something
5748s	um
5749s	so yeah that covers all the broad
5751s	strokes and all the bits that we want to
5752s	talk about unless something else
5754s	comes to mind which it might and that's
5756s	fine
5756s	um
5757s	so before we go into more q a stuff
5760s	um
5761s	as you might have seen in the trailer
5763s	uh
5764s	we are looking to release update 3.0
5768s	the aegis sorcery
5770s	in quarter three 2022
5773s	um
5774s	beyond that as we get closer to that
5776s	time
5777s	specifics will be out but that's all we
5779s	got right now
5781s	and then
5783s	if you want to take some questions i
5784s	know there's been a lot of questions and
5786s	comments that we've seen yeah
5789s	okay so like obviously
5791s	in particular that you wanted to answer
5793s	but
5794s	um
5795s	one that i saw a lot was like asking
5797s	about cross play i don't know that there
5798s	are any plans at this moment but yeah we
5801s	don't have any plans for cross play
5803s	right now
5804s	okay it is plausible and something
5806s	that's on the table for us
5808s	uh but we aren't making any moves for it
5810s	right now
5812s	um
5813s	any uh plans on increasing the level cap
5817s	not at the moment if the level cap
5819s	increases it'll most likely come with
5821s	some type of content as well
5824s	i don't know if it'll be like a
5825s	horizontal growth or vertical growth in
5827s	the content itself but
5829s	we don't have a re really good reason to
5831s	increase level cap right now it also
5833s	could come about in the form of like
5836s	progression updates
5839s	but those are not anything that we're
5840s	working on at the moment
5842s	okay cool
5844s	uh no we're not wiping servers
5846s	um let's see what else uh uh do spells
5850s	have cooldowns
5851s	no there's no there's still no concept
5853s	of cooldowns and kind of exiles
5855s	the idea of a cooldown
5857s	at least in its rawest form a timer that
5859s	counts down and you can do something
5860s	again is something that i'm
5862s	personally going to try to always avoid
5863s	because it's a very gamey game mechanic
5865s	and
5866s	exiles is meant to be a game rooted a
5868s	lot in reality as much as we can make it
5870s	i know that there are things that are
5871s	gamey but
5873s	we only do that when it's absolutely
5874s	necessary so if we can avoid it
5877s	through other mechanics we implement
5879s	cooldowns in roundabout ways
5882s	i mean you saw also yeah like the actual
5884s	active casting
5886s	kind of spell could be considered a
5888s	cooldown of it yeah i mean it is it is a
5890s	relatively lengthy process like you
5892s	can't just like whip out a spell
5894s	like off off the cuff or something like
5896s	that like you do have to kind of go
5897s	through that process so yeah like you
5898s	said that in of itself can be considered
5900s	like a limited a limiter of sorts in
5902s	terms of how much you can use it
5904s	um this one's asked a couple times and
5907s	but they're asking about like if there's
5908s	gonna be any performance improvements on
5910s	servers
5911s	multi-core servers i don't know about it
5915s	uh yeah i can't speak about multi-core
5917s	specifically but i will tell you this
5920s	we are literally always optimizing
5922s	exiles
5924s	there are points in our development
5926s	cycle where we essentially kind of step
5928s	back and analyze everything that is
5931s	performing poorly and we make really big
5934s	leaps in certain places where we can
5937s	even the new content that we're making
5939s	now requires
5940s	improvement as it's being made like
5942s	opening the building menu used to cause
5944s	a large hitch i think it was something
5946s	like 750 milliseconds or something like
5948s	that and now it's like 40 milliseconds
5950s	of time between the time you press the
5952s	button and it appears nice um we are
5956s	taking a look into some things like
5957s	character and server side right now that
5959s	our optimizations will make that make
5961s	things run better for everyone overall
5963s	but there's not anything really specific
5965s	i have to announce about it other than
5967s	optimization and performance is always
5969s	on our radar and
5971s	while the game is not perfect in terms
5973s	of performance now we are always trying
5974s	to improve it
5979s	nice all right there's a lot another one
5980s	yeah you're fine i saw a couple things
5982s	about like modding and all that too this
5984s	is something that um
5986s	i made a little announcement over the
5988s	weekend uh in the the kind of next house
5990s	modding discord
5992s	um but you know we just want to
5993s	reiterate and really emphasize that like
5995s	modding is absolutely not going anywhere
5997s	and then
5998s	uh while we don't have like an exact
6000s	like eta on when it'll be out
6002s	um like you know first of all the update
6004s	will launch on test live first before it
6006s	actually goes live and then we're
6007s	planning on really you know we're gonna
6009s	allow for uh mod makers to have ample
6011s	time
6012s	yeah to be able to update their mods for
6014s	the new update we're gonna release the
6015s	the mod kit
6016s	shortly after the tesla yeah yeah yeah
6018s	and that'll be that'll be you know still
6020s	give a really good window between
6022s	that and the official launch
6024s	so that yeah again that'll give modders
6026s	an opportunity to
6027s	update everything they want play around
6029s	and see what else is what else new is
6030s	possible with the updated systems
6032s	transmog system for buildings is
6034s	interesting it's actually a design i
6037s	considered as part of this update when
6038s	we were really early on but it's not
6040s	something we're actually developing
6041s	for the most part one of the rules we
6043s	have for exiles is that everything
6045s	should
6046s	be as dangerous as it appears right like
6049s	a super scary crocodile should always be
6051s	a super scary crocodile and not be like
6053s	a one hit
6054s	you know pushover kind of thing and i
6056s	think that logic applies to to buildings
6058s	as well um we've taken a bit of a
6060s	liberty with the illusion system to
6062s	offer like a really nice convenience and
6064s	quality of life feature for up for
6066s	people but when it comes to building
6068s	pieces at least for the time being we'd
6070s	like to keep the scary structures
6071s	looking scary and the tier one structure
6074s	is looking more flimsy yeah
6076s	yeah if there's like a ton of clamor for
6078s	that i mean yeah we can certainly
6079s	consider it but yeah we have a design
6081s	for it so
6082s	it exists yes thank you
6085s	um we have a lot of questions on if with
6087s	this update there'll be new
6089s	maps or map updates and things like that
6092s	there will be updates to both maps to
6094s	exiled lands and sipta
6096s	but they're just the updates that are
6098s	necessary to add the content to drive
6100s	the systems forward so you'll find
6102s	sorcerers out in the camps the camps
6104s	will be dressed a bit differently you
6105s	know you'll see some new pieces in there
6106s	that haven't been there before
6108s	there are a couple new caves hidden away
6111s	in both maps that i won't really say
6113s	anything more about
6114s	but that's you know for you to discover
6116s	and explore and
6118s	you know
6118s	if i show it on stream it's just going
6120s	to ruin the fun of it
6122s	i'm sorry you have to be patient but
6124s	it's really worth the wait i swear yeah
6128s	we generally try to not show off
6129s	everything ahead of time right
6131s	i want to though i mean for sure i wish
6134s	i could sit here and just play the game
6136s	and make you guys watch me for like five
6137s	hours because of all the cool stuff
6138s	there is i mean i think we have a
6142s	non-zero number of wrapped audience
6144s	members who would love to watch that but
6145s	yeah
6147s	um so there's this question that a lot
6150s	of people were asking but so in regards
6152s	about past age
6153s	um
6154s	will there be ways to get that item the
6156s	items from that pass in the future or
6158s	once that aid is gone are they gone for
6159s	good what's the plan with that our plan
6161s	for battle passes right now and you know
6163s	it is subject to change based on
6165s	feedback based on numbers
6167s	one thing that i think is really
6169s	important to to talk about at least from
6171s	our perspective is that we have a
6175s	very experienced monetization expert
6177s	that we're working with and
6178s	you know we we've taken his advice on a
6180s	lot of stuff that we're doing and
6183s	um
6184s	originally we decided we wanted to say
6185s	hey let's make these other battle passes
6187s	available all the time and
6190s	you know his advice was that we
6191s	shouldn't do that so for the time being
6193s	and the way it's going to go in now
6194s	unless we hear like really massive
6196s	uproar about it is that once the battle
6198s	pass is done the battle pass is gone
6200s	we're
6201s	regardless we're not going to read those
6203s	items to the shop we're we're not gonna
6204s	say
6205s	you know here's this exact item you got
6207s	in the battle pass it's a thing that was
6208s	limited availability you paid for it you
6210s	were there when it happened and now you
6212s	can just buy it in the shop six months
6214s	later
6215s	it's nothing we plan to do we may do
6217s	variations on some of those items so if
6219s	there's like a really cool bookcase we
6220s	might mod it some change the the
6222s	contents of it in its name and
6225s	you know create an alternative close
6227s	version to it but you'll never see that
6228s	one-to-one same item in the shop that's
6230s	in the battle pass
6234s	um
6235s	let's see people were asking if the
6237s	roles or followers can use sorcery as
6239s	well
6240s	uh sorcery is
6244s	for now and probably for the foreseeable
6246s	future gonna be primarily based on the
6249s	player right
6250s	the fantasy is about you like you
6253s	this is like a thing you can live out
6255s	when you play the game
6256s	so we don't have magical thralls that'll
6258s	run around and cast spells with you we
6260s	do have sorcery thralls but they're
6262s	currently integrated into a workbench
6263s	they can't follow you and fight with you
6265s	we do have mounts that
6270s	have sorcerous properties right you'll
6272s	see this whenever you see some more of
6273s	the battle pass and shop stuff stuff
6275s	some more of the sorcery stuff that's
6277s	already included for free you know there
6279s	will be new mounts
6280s	included in that that have sorcerer's
6282s	properties but at the heart of it we
6284s	really want you or the people around you
6286s	to be the people deciding
6288s	to make that leap into corruption and
6290s	decide you know hey i want to be the bad
6292s	guy
6294s	yeah this power fantasy is about you
6298s	uh like the illusion like the mirror
6300s	image thing that you can cast as part of
6301s	sorcery like kind of sits there and like
6303s	acts like they're casting suppose it
6304s	doesn't actually do anything so that's
6306s	about the closest thing probably to
6308s	actually having like in like an in-game
6310s	unit that goes through the motions but
6312s	someone asked if undead followers will
6314s	follow you forever
6315s	they won't they actually have the system
6318s	that internally we call rotten decay
6320s	which is a system for them to
6322s	uh
6323s	you know rot and decay over time so
6326s	whenever you summon a zombie fall or
6328s	initially or an undead follower uh their
6331s	their skin will be more intact and
6333s	fleshy and the longer they exist the
6335s	more it'll run away the more gross they
6337s	get yeah you can see the glass
6339s	[ __ ] sinew and stuff below yeah it's
6342s	really nasty and it looks awesome part
6344s	of my french
6345s	but yeah part of the trade-off there is
6346s	that it's really easy to get one of
6348s	these followers and whenever you
6350s	initially summon them they start at
6351s	level 20 all perked out
6353s	so they're a bit more throwaway than
6355s	your standard you know dressable uh
6358s	follower like the the the undead cannot
6361s	wear extra armor or use different
6362s	weapons they have their own set of
6364s	attack animations and everything and but
6366s	they're just like strong out of the gate
6368s	yeah they're just powerful right off of
6370s	that can you change that the rot time or
6374s	it's not a setting right now it could be
6377s	a service i think we could look into
6379s	them
6380s	okay
6382s	cool
6382s	uh there also might make we might also
6385s	be able to play with a mechanic with the
6386s	two like if you feed them a certain item
6388s	then it extends their life or so that's
6389s	cool
6390s	um i saw this a couple times in chen i
6393s	just wanted to bring it up uh i've seen
6395s	a number of comments talking about are
6396s	you gonna are you gonna move over to
6397s	unreal five
6399s	um highly unlikely uh honestly at this
6403s	point i feel like because we have a lot
6404s	of custom work done
6407s	in the current version of unreal that we
6408s	have to make exiles just work
6411s	period
6412s	and so
6413s	it's not there's not like a button or
6415s	whatever to just like port it maybe
6417s	there is i don't know but like there's a
6418s	lot of custom work that we have to do
6419s	that
6420s	you know if we want it's not as simple
6421s	as just simply migrating it to unreal
6423s	five
6424s	i'm super glad you asked this question
6426s	because it's like this is the best place
6427s	i could possibly reply to it all right i
6430s	i troll
6431s	reddit and the forums all the time and
6433s	this is one of the number one things we
6434s	see is like when will you guys upgrade
6436s	to unreal yeah
6438s	so i'm gonna give some history on unreal
6439s	engine to begin with and then we'll talk
6442s	about the state of exile sure yeah so
6444s	unreal engine
6446s	um
6447s	the numbers that you see on real three
6448s	and real four those are where the major
6451s	massive iterations in the fundamental
6453s	structure of unreal changes where you're
6455s	literally working with a different
6457s	product unreal 3 is like entirely
6459s	separate from what unreal 4 is it was
6461s	built upon that foundationally but the
6463s	way that their systems work
6465s	architecturally are different
6467s	so unreal has different revisions and
6469s	that's when you see like
6471s	4.5 4.6 4. 25 you know etc
6475s	those versions all of those unreal four
6477s	engine versions are very very very
6479s	similar and they do get minor changes
6481s	like performance upgrades uh you know
6484s	new tools that we can use to make
6485s	content and things like that that's
6487s	actually one of the biggest things that
6488s	comes in is just like new
6490s	new vfx tools or you know new animation
6493s	tools or things like that by and large
6495s	those don't affect us in terms of
6497s	delivering a cool game right
6499s	so
6500s	our version of conan exiles was made in
6502s	unreal 415
6504s	and if you know anything about the
6505s	timeline of unreal engine 415 is around
6508s	five years old right now i think it was
6510s	around 2016 or 2017 that 415 came out
6514s	and whenever we started making exiles we
6516s	had to do heavy modifications to get it
6518s	worked with our internal back end
6520s	to do everything that we need for
6522s	character creation and server
6524s	communication and all that stuff those
6526s	modifications have essentially locked us
6528s	into unreal 415.
6531s	what we can do is take features from
6532s	forward versions of unreal and back port
6534s	them to that 415 so
6537s	code and exiles will never be anything
6539s	other than 415 with heavy modifications
6543s	it is no longer possible for us to take
6545s	the project
6546s	right click update engine engine version
6548s	in windows and select 5.0 and make it
6551s	unreal 5. it's not that simple for us
6553s	if we were to do that to the project it
6555s	would generate months of backlog work
6558s	updating the systems that we created for
6560s	415 to work with the changes that have
6562s	happened for 5.0
6564s	even 5.0 is actually just like 4.27 like
6568s	or 28 or whatever for what it's worth
6570s	like the changes they've made have
6571s	changed it and there's a lot of
6573s	performance upgrades and that's what
6574s	makes it worth calling it a new product
6577s	but we we will never be unreal 5
6579s	specifically in conan exiles
6582s	if we make exiles 2
6583s	yes we'll use whatever the most recent
6585s	version of unreal is at the time
6587s	but
6588s	sorry to drone on about this we will
6590s	never update conan exiles to be unreal
6593s	engine 5.0 we can't take performance
6596s	increases and gains from later revisions
6598s	and backboard them into what we have now
6601s	that's cool
6602s	great thank you i appreciate that
6605s	exile's two when someday
6607s	lol i think there's almost no question
6609s	that exiles too happens it does just it
6612s	does just become a matter of when
6614s	it's not a promise just uh observation
6617s	nice
6618s	um and i i saw one person ask again um
6622s	yeah update 3.0 will hit test live
6624s	before it goes officially live
6625s	absolutely uh in quarter three of this
6627s	year
6628s	uh so yeah we plan on launching
6631s	later this year and then they'll be you
6633s	know there'll be a pretty
6634s	uh
6635s	like a substantially earlier version on
6637s	test live so that you guys can all check
6638s	it out
6639s	um
6640s	and just let us know how you feel about
6642s	it
6643s	yeah yeah
6644s	i saw some some questions about the
6646s	atlantean sword and the royal armor um
6649s	unfortunately that's something that only
6652s	um
6652s	uh pre-purchased buyers uh received so
6656s	unfortunately we can't give those out
6658s	yeah that's an exclusive to
6660s	two pre-orders yeah and um
6663s	we uh
6664s	yeah because that wasn't exclusive for
6666s	pre-orders like you can't just like
6668s	freely give those out after that after
6670s	the fact i believe now
6672s	it could be a case where we do like
6673s	modified versions of it or something
6675s	though like we could make like a
6676s	tarnished atlantean sword or something
6677s	yeah
6678s	kind of
6679s	you know nasty version of it you know
6681s	just spitballing but
6683s	those exact those exact items those
6685s	those are going to be pre-order
6686s	exclusive forever
6689s	very sorry
6691s	yeah the atlantean sword and the royal
6693s	armor yeah
6695s	so certainly possible with the system we
6697s	have but uh those yeah like dennis said
6699s	those specific items will remain as
6700s	pre-order exclusives
6702s	so i'm just like reading over some chat
6704s	stuff now yeah yeah feel free to
6706s	feed system
6711s	i suppose we can do
6712s	uh i mean how are you feeling we're
6714s	we're coming up on the two hour mark
6715s	right now so i'd be happy with taking
6717s	about 10 minutes more questions and then
6720s	uh if there's still like a drove of
6722s	things that we need to address we can
6723s	have a follow-up like you know q a
6725s	exclusive stream and of course
6727s	uh we have our forums and social media
6730s	if you want to leave us a comment there
6731s	ask questions there
6733s	you know
6735s	if we have an answer for it we'll work
6737s	to answer them as to the best of our
6739s	ability
6740s	within reason um
6742s	so how are you feeling about it yeah
6745s	pretty good a lot of the questions that
6746s	are coming up um a lot of stuff has
6748s	actually been answered if you guys go
6749s	back through the vaude uh you know
6751s	you'll probably see an answer to a lot
6752s	of the things that are still being asked
6754s	someone did ask how that a password work
6756s	on private servers i didn't mention
6758s	before that it will be on private
6760s	servers it'll work the same as it does
6762s	on an
6764s	yeah yeah you just log in
6766s	do the challenges get the progress
6773s	uh yeah
6775s	anything else yeah we're just going to
6776s	be going to those later amounts
6785s	could be a thing we look into for sure
6787s	someone asked if the demonic the
6789s	transportory pads will work on or how
6793s	those will work for like privacy
6795s	um right now it's
6798s	they link between your clan if someone
6800s	were to not belong to your clan and
6801s	stand in that pad they would see the
6803s	same options your clan sees because the
6805s	the item is rooted in
6807s	in your clan but it's not exclusive to
6809s	your clan
6811s	i don't know if this will ship or not
6813s	because we are still going through
6815s	polish on the system but we have had an
6818s	option to be able to switch between
6820s	private and public networks
6822s	to where people could build one and mark
6823s	it as public and then every other public
6825s	one can see that one so people could set
6827s	up networks for one another to uh
6830s	you know move around the map with
6832s	potentially if that ships sweet
6837s	um character transfers are being
6839s	addressed and we don't have a date on
6841s	those just yet
6843s	um
6844s	oh there was one question i'm sorry i
6846s	saw one person be like let nicole talk
6848s	oh i'm talking sorry i'm like i said i'm
6851s	i'm very into into you guys here in chat
6853s	um and uh going through yeah thank you
6856s	for that yeah
6858s	um
6859s	if i've been like talking over you i'm
6861s	sorry
6868s	much like the player interaction with
6870s	the trench and now you can't knock a
6871s	player out to put them on there
6874s	mainly because i feel like it would be a
6875s	really bad experience to just lose
6877s	control and be roped up uh for an
6879s	indeterminate amount of time until
6880s	someone decides to do something with you
6883s	someone's very curious about your wallet
6884s	yeah i just i saw that that's why i was
6886s	like like furl my brown like
6888s	my watch like this like it's
6891s	a nice watch it's a it's it's shaped
6893s	like an old school like casio watch but
6896s	it's actually a timex and i like it
6897s	because it just has this like
6899s	elastic band that i can
6902s	yeah it removes all the extra like
6903s	annoying steps of having to clip it on
6905s	my wrist um
6908s	i don't know yeah there's just no no no
6910s	least path of resistance to getting
6911s	things on because i yeah i like to be
6914s	able to slip it on
6915s	uh the watcher furniture so someone's
6917s	asking about twitch drops also
6919s	same rule as pre-order items uh if you
6921s	own those they'll appear in the build
6923s	menu yeah but we're not going to sell
6926s	those exact items or add those exact
6929s	items to the battle pass or anything
6930s	like that yeah that's not to say there
6931s	might be variants of it or something
6933s	like that yeah like like the modified
6934s	versions we could do modified versions
6936s	and i i don't mean like just a recolor
6938s	but also some kind of like extra
6939s	different geometry yeah
6943s	uh ships or boats plans no boats planned
6947s	yes new mounts yes new pets
6955s	for the record i i i would love that
6958s	personally right
6959s	and i i recall like uh we put a lot of
6962s	focus on
6964s	the the ship
6965s	uh things that we added uh with the new
6968s	lands in sydney in the south yeah so it
6970s	would be awesome uh but we have no plans
6972s	for that so that that's what my like i
6975s	didn't mean to like scoff i hope no one
6976s	thought that i was i was just like yeah
6978s	i wish kind of that was that's what that
6980s	was supposed to be how dare you ask if
6982s	we ever do anything yeah please vote
6983s	related it's most likely to come in the
6985s	form of an age like
6987s	you know hearkening back to you know
6989s	conan's time as a pirate essentially uh
6992s	you know they would probably be a large
6994s	feature that came out not just something
6995s	you drop in the water and there it is
6997s	right
6998s	only there are plans for a switchboard
7002s	i don't think so no sorry yeah
7004s	servers will not be wiped
7006s	yeah
7007s	um
7008s	new map with dinosaurs i mean
7012s	you joke but we've talked about this
7014s	what
7017s	there's there's a specific time and
7018s	place in our war that makes sense for us
7020s	to have a new map with dinosaurs
7022s	potentially
7023s	not a promise just an observation
7025s	[Laughter]
7027s	only
7028s	you get dinosaurs when i get my giant
7031s	max
7032s	no my giant mountains and my and my uh
7034s	conan
7035s	give me
7036s	conan 20xx
7042s	my favorite part of 3.0 is hard to
7043s	define because i i love all of it like
7046s	you know we
7048s	this is one of the first features i've
7049s	i've worked on personally where
7052s	uh
7053s	i've been
7054s	really responsible for making sure
7056s	everything is cohesive and tied together
7057s	so i've had my hand in
7059s	every single thing you'll get to some
7061s	degree
7062s	and we've all tried we've tried to make
7063s	it all feel like an experience that ties
7065s	together
7066s	if i had to pick like one specific thing
7068s	out one thing that is like my favorite
7070s	it's really hard to say i really like
7072s	the corrupted attributes part
7075s	the corrupted attributes because it's
7076s	like
7077s	okay sorcery is this really inherently
7079s	evil
7080s	disgusting corrupting thing that makes
7083s	you
7084s	a vile human for participating in it
7086s	and the attribute system i don't know
7088s	how many people really think about this
7090s	but
7091s	their attributes of you as a person they
7093s	are are your
7095s	you know they are how you have developed
7097s	as a human so to take something like
7100s	your strength and say i'm a strong man
7102s	you know i've been my whole life you
7104s	know i i was raised on the wheel of pain
7106s	i smash rocks with a pic and i cut down
7108s	in with a hammer
7110s	and to say that okay now i'm evil and
7112s	i'm vile and and i'm really investing in
7116s	this and that strength that i've been
7117s	nurturing my whole life is now corrupt
7119s	to its core
7121s	and to see your physical attributes of
7123s	strength be eaten away by the purple bar
7125s	as it corrupts is really powerful
7130s	yes you can actually live out you know
7132s	live out the true fantasies of like yeah
7134s	like you said like corrupting everything
7135s	like to your very core like your very
7137s	essence
7138s	has been corrupted and it's not just
7139s	like a veneer of like purple
7143s	yeah someone said red sonja question
7145s	mark which isn't really a question in
7147s	itself but
7148s	uh we do not own the rights to red sonja
7150s	oh yeah so we do own conan but red sonia
7153s	is outside of of the conan ip even
7156s	though they they mingle
7158s	um
7159s	people are asking about being able to
7161s	dye saddles
7163s	uh there's nothing coming in 3.0 that
7165s	will add saddle dye
7167s	it is a
7169s	quality of life thing that we can add in
7171s	our to-do list though for sure it's a
7172s	good suggestion thank you
7175s	sharks for sipta
7178s	technically septa has sharks technically
7181s	they eat you when you swim too far away
7182s	yeah
7185s	um
7186s	sorry i'm just looking at all these
7187s	things though i don't think there's
7188s	gonna be wands
7190s	no there's like a little like yeah we
7192s	can talk about that yeah yeah yeah
7194s	little tiny like the
7196s	weapon quote unquote weapon i actually
7197s	had it labeled as a tool because i don't
7199s	want people to think it's a weapon that
7200s	you fight with and new combos with
7202s	um but yeah it's called an arcade focus
7205s	yeah this this little lad that you're
7207s	holding here the whole idea is that it
7209s	acts as a
7210s	literally a focusing point for the magic
7212s	that you're channeling so you speak
7214s	these demonic words and the power runs
7216s	from the runes into this into the focus
7218s	and you can see when he's casting
7221s	the things that he casts gets sucked
7223s	into the focus
7224s	um and yeah it's it's literally there to
7227s	amplify the magic that you're performing
7229s	yeah and then the effects will like
7230s	change color kind of like depending on
7232s	which
7232s	you know spells or which domain of
7235s	sorcery you you delve into it'll change
7237s	colors yeah so there's like a common
7239s	language if you see someone casting
7240s	something green you know you're you know
7243s	they're doing something in the realm of
7244s	death they're about to bring something
7245s	dead to life or a summit of soul from
7247s	the beyond or something
7249s	um
7255s	i don't know can we
7257s	yeah okay
7259s	yeah maybe there's a reason we haven't
7261s	uh it's not included in our notes but
7263s	people uh are asking about the event
7265s	system
7266s	and
7267s	the event system is getting a little bit
7269s	of a
7271s	i don't know how to say it like pr
7274s	rework or something like that
7276s	uh whenever we whenever we released
7278s	grave matters we released it as an event
7281s	for people to participate in go here
7283s	test this thing see it get some cool
7285s	reward
7286s	and the reason we did that is to test
7289s	the back end of the system to
7291s	detect if there were major bugs or flaws
7293s	with it to work on security concerns for
7295s	it and everything
7296s	so new events will be coming out with
7298s	3.0 but they're not going to be
7300s	signposted on the map uh to where we put
7303s	a marker on it and we say go here do
7304s	this thing we're not going to have a big
7306s	marketing push that's like a new event
7308s	has been added we're going to add
7309s	several i think there's maybe five that
7311s	will be launched with 3.0 including
7313s	grave matters
7316s	so
7318s	new events will occur but i'd like
7320s	everyone to think of them more as random
7322s	encounters
7323s	than events that we celebrate like a
7326s	holiday or something like that so we
7328s	can't add random encounters that
7329s	reinforce the theme of an event or a
7331s	holiday
7332s	but for the most part we're not going to
7333s	say here's a spot on the map go do this
7335s	thing right it's a thing for you to see
7337s	we want it to be something that you
7338s	stumble upon
7340s	organically
7341s	and things that just change the way you
7344s	encounter the world
7347s	there's some really cool ones in there
7348s	too nice uh
7350s	there's
7351s	i guess i don't want to spoil those
7352s	either but i'd like you to stumble upon
7354s	them and find them for yourself and
7356s	you know hopefully you feel motivated to
7358s	dig in and see what nefarious views are
7360s	during the events yes
7363s	so yeah like dennis said like you know
7365s	this isn't to say that there will be
7367s	other like major events taking place
7368s	within the game but um
7371s	yeah there will be things going on but
7372s	they won't be you know
7374s	uh without as much fanfares like grave
7376s	matters for example like grave matters
7377s	was like sort of like a seasonal thing
7378s	and also like a teaser for this update
7381s	uh and also like a live test run of a
7383s	lot of the back end work that we made to
7384s	the game to be able to facilitate these
7386s	kinds of like more live event or like
7388s	you know live encounter uh kind of deals
7391s	as dennis said
7392s	someone said i really want to know if
7394s	there will be a chance to earn chrome
7395s	coins in the wild
7396s	uh there will not the chrome coins are
7398s	only a paid currency you will get the
7401s	refunded back from the battle pass like
7402s	i touched on earlier but it's it's
7404s	purely uh you know a paid currency that
7408s	interacts with the battle pass in the
7409s	shop
7410s	um also back on events people asked
7412s	about the egg in the trailer yeah what
7415s	is that
7416s	part of an event
7419s	question mark what could that mean no
7421s	answer's here just more teasers sorry oh
7423s	yeah
7425s	another countdown for another teaser
7426s	right yeah
7427s	countdown two events begins today yeah
7431s	you know we thought about um starting
7433s	the stream with like a thing being like
7435s	oh yeah like thanks so much for coming
7436s	to today's announcement about the
7438s	announcement that you saw like last week
7439s	and we're thrilled to announce that
7440s	we're announcing another announcement um
7442s	but then this weekend happened we
7443s	decided not to do that yeah
7447s	anyway more body hair types um there's
7451s	some work that we need to do before we
7453s	can add a lot more to the base game in
7455s	that realm
7456s	um one funny thing is that that was
7458s	written as uh body forward slash hair
7460s	types but we've actually talked about
7462s	also adding body hair types
7465s	so you know you could be you know fully
7467s	hairy or not um you know happy trail
7469s	yeah adding more layers of customization
7471s	is the thing we always look into we just
7473s	have to
7474s	be able to justify
7476s	the amount of time that it takes versus
7478s	the amount we can get out of it right in
7480s	terms of like player engagement what
7482s	they like like
7484s	we want to put the most development time
7485s	into the things that people will engage
7487s	with the most
7488s	yeah i have i have definitely seen a lot
7490s	of requests uh like you know here
7492s	through chat and uh you know in a lot of
7494s	comments on the forums and on youtube of
7496s	um
7497s	yeah just like having alternate body
7498s	types particularly to like support like
7500s	more uh like portly body types yeah some
7503s	bigger daddies that's me cetera like
7505s	when i play a game i want to play the
7506s	biggest guy i can
7508s	it's not just like ripped but like i
7509s	just want to be like yeah like
7511s	just yeah yeah
7512s	yeah yeah
7513s	a huge
7514s	character
7517s	so certainly something that we'd like to
7519s	see yeah it's about relatability you
7521s	know you want to feel like your
7522s	character is like you and of course yeah
7524s	and i just you know if i want to add a
7525s	little bit of a bit of a fur coat to him
7527s	and
7528s	put on put on a little bit of extra
7530s	thickness i want that yeah
7533s	yeah how much will battle pass cost i
7535s	can't say the exact price yet because we
7537s	are still working on finalized prices
7542s	mods over two gigabytes are on our radar
7543s	as well um
7545s	that's a big thing um
7547s	you know a lot of things that we talk
7549s	about internally revolve around mods
7551s	because we'd like more people to be able
7552s	to use mods obviously there's a big part
7554s	of our player base that can't use mods
7555s	right now and it's a thing we'd like to
7557s	change but again it's like
7559s	the amount of development time versus
7561s	the you know what we don't put out as a
7563s	result of working on that yeah that's a
7565s	that's a pretty significant technical
7566s	hurdle especially when we have to factor
7568s	in hardware with like very limited
7570s	memory for example
7573s	so again yes certainly something we're
7575s	aware of it's just
7577s	if if we could wave an arcane focus and
7579s	just make that be we would but that's
7581s	unfortunately in real life it's not
7582s	quite that simple
7583s	maybe one day
7587s	are we feeling with questions and all
7588s	that jazz we're just about at the two
7590s	hour mark so first of all thank you so
7591s	much for staying tuned and all that
7593s	uh thank you for your questions um
7597s	someone asked uh i'd like to know if
7599s	we're finally gonna make the pvp servers
7600s	for everyone time wise
7602s	fair for everyone time wise in 3.0
7605s	um
7606s	this is one thing i'm going to talk with
7608s	the team about still
7610s	you guys are hearing at first before
7611s	they are but i do want to increase the
7614s	harvest and xp rates on pvp servers so
7617s	it's more
7619s	it's faster like i just wanted to be
7620s	faster right
7621s	um faster for people to get in level up
7625s	grind stuff out make bases and fight
7626s	with each other
7628s	and that way it isn't that's like
7629s	morally devastating yeah that's one of
7631s	the biggest things when you lose
7633s	something when you lose stuff it it
7634s	matters less because it was easier to
7636s	get so you know hopefully that can
7638s	increase engagement there i think
7640s	there's a sweet spot to find there
7642s	because if we make it too easy then it
7643s	gets boring really fast right because it
7645s	eliminates the point of pvp like right
7647s	we have to find where like your stuff
7649s	still matters to you but it doesn't make
7650s	you want to quit the game because you
7652s	lost it yeah yeah kind of like as a
7654s	personal anecdote i actually have a
7655s	close friend of mine who uh like here in
7657s	town who actually will you know is an
7659s	avid conan exiles player and he
7660s	specifically cited like he had to take a
7662s	step away from the game for a while
7663s	because he was on a pvp server and he
7665s	put a lot of time into his base
7667s	and like woke up one day and found it
7669s	completely destroyed and like he
7671s	actually like logged in
7672s	to watching people destroy his base and
7674s	like killing him as he like was waking
7676s	up from
7677s	from all that um and so i can empathize
7680s	with that and i i i know he's not the
7681s	only one
7683s	but again we have to find that nice
7684s	balance
7695s	so um
7696s	uh i think i think now's a good stopping
7699s	point for today's stream we're running
7700s	over just over two hours
7703s	but
7704s	we are still constantly reading over
7706s	things that are being sent at us over
7708s	social media
7709s	comments on youtube here in chat of
7712s	course on discord in our official forums
7715s	i invite you to yeah just like come on
7717s	to the official forums make a thread
7721s	you know praise yog and see whatever

7735s	there's enough
7736s	uh like clamor or enough like questions
7738s	that um
7740s	you know we feel that uh justifies like
7742s	perhaps making another stream
7744s	specifically for q a or like making a
7746s	short video that answers all these
7747s	things or even an faq
