513s	very shy in person so i'm sorry
517s	okay now let's start our eternal return
520s	dev stream
522s	today's index contains our season 5
524s	recap season 6 features and improvements
528s	in deep deep dive into cobalt protocol
530s	and future season features we will also
533s	have a short q and a section after two
535s	so please look forward to all of that
538s	now let's start off with our season five
540s	recap
542s	one of the biggest changes we had for
543s	season five were the team mode changes
545s	and the auto revive system although it
547s	has been vastly popular in korea i have
550s	seen that it it does have mixed opinions
553s	in other regions we're keeping an eye on
555s	it and we're seeing if there are other
556s	ways to improve the system there's also
559s	already some prepared changes that i'll
561s	go over today in just a few
564s	we also had the increase in materials
567s	patch for lumia island it made farming
569s	much more forgiving and also easier to
571s	get the materials you need
573s	there's still the issue of being unable
576s	to secure materials in
578s	in areas where a large amount of the
580s	lobby has dropped
582s	at the start of the game mostly cemetery
584s	for today
585s	for this current meta but that's going
588s	to be also addressed with one of the
589s	features of the upcoming season six
594s	active items were also added in season
596s	five unfortunately we do believe that
599s	this was a lackluster change than what
601s	we have hoped for however because it's
604s	only been used by a handful and it's
606s	mostly locked behind special materials
608s	in team modes with the upcoming changes
610s	to season six getting your hands on
612s	special materials will become much more
614s	easier than before and we hope that this
616s	could also improve this feature as well
619s	also new effect new active effects are
621s	also on the way so keep an eye on that
622s	as well
625s	an unexpected impactful change was
628s	porkchop creating memorable moments and
630s	hilarious situations and cool combos as
633s	well
637s	okay now for a more serious note the
639s	combat ping removal was also a big
641s	change also although we still chant our
643s	abcs when someone third parties in a
646s	tournament
646s	if the combat ping was still here it
648s	would have been a much more worse
650s	situation than today changes to improve
653s	this are also planned and will be
654s	discussed later on
656s	and about ways on how are we gonna
658s	counteract or maybe alleviate third
661s	partying
664s	creating from boxes was a good change
666s	and helping players not need to drop
668s	their whole inventory to craft your save
670s	plans however we do agree that the ui is
672s	still confusing for a lot of our players
675s	and sometimes creates situations where
677s	the wrong thing is crafted we're
679s	considering some improvements for this
680s	as well and we hope that it may solve
684s	the confusion
686s	and no it's not pre-recorded i'm doing
687s	this live
689s	okay kiting improvements were also added
692s	recently and i can say that kiting was
694s	improved significantly but there were
696s	also a lot of issues that came with it
699s	bernis was a clear example in that he
701s	buffered when attacking and 11's double
703s	attack
704s	is also on the list of awkwardness
706s	we are keeping an eye on this and we are
709s	addressing some such as the change to
711s	burness a few patches ago
714s	and we're going to we'll continue to
716s	monitor this and see how we can improve
718s	this as well
722s	okay as i said before automatic revival
724s	and team modes were a big change that
726s	happened in season five we've gotten a
729s	lot of feedback after after the female
731s	changes the most requested change was
734s	the dying part after unlucky revives
736s	usually you would revive someone will be
738s	next to you you would die and that and
741s	although that doesn't happen to happen
742s	really often when it does happen it
744s	feels really really bad
746s	when hyperlooping taking a risk is
748s	understandable since that decision since
751s	that decision is making a choice
753s	it's a quick but unstable teleport that
755s	you you choose instead of walking
758s	however revival reviving on the other
760s	hand can't be chosen and is an action
762s	that must be performed so couple this
764s	with only reviving with happier hp and
766s	sp it and it creates a kind of an unfair
769s	scenario so what we're currently
771s	thinking is to provide a small movement
773s	buff just like at the start of the game
775s	so that it's easier to escape
776s	unfortunate situations
779s	and long-term goals prioritizing
781s	locations near you near your allies is
783s	also something that we're considering if
785s	you guys keep spamming
788s	i'm gonna get mad talk about the
790s	devstream
794s	okay now we'll also go to restricted
797s	areas to all most definitely temporary
800s	safe areas restricted areas are also
802s	something that we'd be keeping an eye on
804s	before team modes t-modes would usually
807s	end much more quicker without the
808s	revives but ever since the update there
810s	have been more and more teams reaching
812s	the final area due to the auto revive
814s	system
815s	to address this the temporary restricted
817s	area feature will also be making it into
819s	team modes this was originally going to
821s	be on the start of preseason but due to
824s	a slight delay it will be added with the
826s	start of season 6. although we would
829s	like some testing in preseason the
831s	gimmick was already kind of okay in
833s	solos and it's becoming a more and more
835s	it's becoming more and more needed in
837s	the team team modes right now so yeah
840s	it's gonna be added in season six
843s	some improvements to the temporary area
845s	will also be shown later this stream so
846s	keep an eye on that an extra change is
849s	the avenue restricted area being larger
851s	than before
853s	which is pretty cool
854s	yeah
857s	okay this can so this can somehow be a
860s	controversial thing with team modes
862s	gaining crash with gaining traction
864s	character roles are becoming much more
865s	important
867s	however most of the characters that are
869s	present now were designed for solos
871s	which means that they mostly can do
873s	damage they have mobility while also
875s	being semi-tanky so basically they're
877s	all rounders
879s	with t-moves rising and with also the
881s	addition of cobalt protocol there's a
883s	lot of buzz surrounding characters with
885s	special roles as you can see on the
887s	screen there's assassins mages
889s	paying supports
891s	yeah
893s	so now we reach the
895s	question of so what mode are you going
897s	to focus on
898s	the answer to that is that we will try
900s	and take care of all three the modes
902s	however start starting to have distinct
904s	characteristics from each other
907s	it may be surprising to our english
908s	speaking communities but squads is
911s	currently our most played mode when it
913s	reaches
915s	uh the weekends squad normal squads
917s	reaches a very big amount of our games
921s	the casual fun that it just provides
923s	it's just too good when you're playing
924s	with other friends and i believe that's
927s	the main point
928s	of the mode
930s	duos also showed a lot of success in the
932s	competitive scene
934s	our erc and erl are clear examples of
936s	that usually squads have a lot of
938s	downtime in tourneys because fights
940s	would happen happen less because there's
942s	less teams across the board
945s	and solos would usually bring the most
946s	viewers
948s	but the balance and matchup issues
951s	were the most impactful in modes when we
953s	do solo tournaments
955s	duo's is most likely the modes that's
957s	the sweet spot between the two and we
960s	think that duos may be the way to go
962s	when we when it comes to our competitive
964s	scene
965s	all things considered though solos is
967s	still the most played mode in terms of
969s	ranked and it's still the baseline of
971s	which besides your skill level in game
975s	this is the current situation but it
977s	could change as time goes on there's not
979s	really a main mode and we're always
981s	flexible on choosing which mode you want
983s	to focus on and for now we're going to
985s	focus on all three
989s	okay so now i'm going to show you our
990s	rundown on season six about how we're
992s	going to do our modes
994s	solo mode will continue to be the point
996s	of balance in season six and other modes
999s	will be using the adjustments like
1000s	before however adjustments do have their
1003s	limits and team modes do need characters
1005s	that need that needs to meet specific
1008s	roles
1009s	for character diversity and positions
1011s	they may be new characters coming out in
1012s	the near future that could fit specific
1015s	roles such as tanks or supports
1017s	this does not mean that we're dropping
1019s	solo mode characters as a whole but it
1021s	just means that there may be characters
1023s	that can be a bit harder to use in solos
1026s	priya was the most recent example
1030s	erl will can continue to be held with
1032s	duo modes but this does not mean the
1035s	souls and squad attorneys are off the
1036s	table we recently are having the season
1040s	cup which was our first journey in ages
1042s	and we'll see how we can expand on that
1044s	further as we move into season six we
1046s	can try out duos maybe if you're really
1048s	into it we can try squats or maybe we
1051s	can always go with solos as well
1054s	okay
1055s	it's time it's time it's time everyone
1058s	take a deep breath
1060s	we're talking about balance
1062s	let's go
1064s	okay
1065s	when it comes to balance the most asked
1067s	question is
1069s	what does nimble neuron balance upon
1073s	the answer is that stats are the most
1076s	subjective criteria when it comes to
1077s	balance but we're always thinking about
1080s	what we can match
1081s	how we can match balancing with stats
1084s	with the actual balance that players
1086s	feel
1087s	the first thing we look for balance is
1089s	the top 1000 stats
1091s	pick rate is especially important
1093s	in solo if a character with a specific
1095s	weapon type reaches 5.5 pick rate which
1098s	is about 1 in 18
1100s	that means it averages at least one pick
1103s	per game
1104s	that means it's almost certainly going
1105s	to get nerfed
1106s	if the pick rate is around four percent
1108s	we usually look at other stats too such
1111s	as win rate and average kills
1113s	usually a win rate of 10 or higher or an
1116s	average kill rate of 1.3 or higher is
1119s	considered to get a nerf
1121s	if the pick rate is around two percent
1123s	we we use a stricter criteria of 12 win
1127s	rate and a 1.5 average kill
1130s	if it's around one percent we usually do
1132s	not nerf the character unless they have
1134s	his stream stats
1135s	characters with lower than one percent
1138s	are almost not considered for nerfs
1140s	i know this is kind of a
1143s	info dump but please understand
1146s	okay but however this all of these stats
1149s	are not
1150s	there's there's a catch these are all
1152s	based up stats that are gathered for at
1155s	least seven days or more
1158s	the greedy stats usually do not have
1160s	enough data and may can may provide us
1162s	with incorrect stats
1164s	currently out of all the stat and data
1166s	sites to start the site that starts with
1168s	an a usually provides the most accurate
1170s	information for our patches
1173s	for our hotfixes we use a much more
1175s	stricter criteria since we do not
1178s	have the we do not immediately have the
1180s	data available for us
1183s	even if a character is not that high in
1185s	the top 1000 stats
1187s	they may be nerfed if their stats in
1189s	gold or lower or particularly high
1192s	if a character has an extreme pick rate
1194s	high pick rate or average kill rate in
1196s	this tiers it may affect the game in a
1199s	big way and could be scheduled for nerfs
1202s	teemos are also adjusted with the same
1204s	idea the stats we also consider here is
1207s	the pick rate but since team modes have
1209s	team comps and other variables we take
1211s	these into consideration compared to
1213s	solos so there's a lot more stuff to
1215s	think about compared to solos
1217s	usually we try to balance things out
1219s	with the mode adjustments but can
1221s	perform nerves if the situation is
1223s	deemed impossible to solve through just
1225s	mode adjustments
1226s	that's what happens
1229s	okay we talked a lot about nerves now
1231s	let's talk about buffs
1233s	buffs are actually much more harder than
1235s	those than nerfs in general
1237s	if a character is too weak it's bad for
1239s	the character itself it so they may need
1242s	buffs or anything but when the character
1244s	is too strong it can maybe negatively
1246s	affect the game as a whole so for buffs
1249s	we check six different stats
1251s	this will be the top 1000 stats for all
1254s	three modes and also the top three the
1258s	stats for gold or lower for all three
1260s	modes as well these are the six steps
1262s	that we check for bobs
1264s	these are the usual stats that we use
1266s	for balancing but there are also other
1268s	exceptions as well immortal stats that
1270s	are sometimes particularly
1274s	different from other stats
1277s	and we sometimes touch on that when
1278s	there's a long ongoing problem
1280s	problem in those stats as well
1283s	average placements and objective control
1285s	stats are also stuff that we look out
1286s	for
1287s	for duos the competitive scene is also
1289s	something that we keep on keep a close
1291s	eye on
1293s	characters with multiple weapons like
1295s	jackie are continuously continuously
1297s	being checked along with other weapon
1299s	types that are used by a lot of
1301s	different characters
1306s	okay
1307s	now i think we talked about what stats
1309s	do we usually consider for buffs and
1312s	nerves mostly and it's mostly based on
1314s	stats but there's now the question of
1316s	how we actually buff the characters that
1318s	are selected do we bump their ratios do
1320s	we bump their cc their damage their
1322s	durability what do we do
1325s	when disguising these details we
1326s	ultimately do need to take the vision of
1329s	the original design of the character
1330s	what we originally wanted the character
1332s	to do
1334s	in into consideration this vision can be
1336s	different from what our players are
1338s	thinking they they may think why are we
1340s	encouraging aa playstyle when they
1341s	should have been amp why could only
1343s	damage when they say the issue is cc
1346s	when we when we have a problem or issue
1348s	of a character there are times where we
1350s	directly address the issue or improve or
1353s	adjust other stuff around it to make it
1355s	better
1356s	players usually prefer the direct style
1359s	however cutting on this stuff may result
1361s	in taking away the character's
1362s	individuality and from other from these
1365s	characters as well balance could become
1367s	better but this could result in bland or
1370s	boring gameplay you basically can have
1371s	the same character for all the different
1374s	you can have the same play style or
1376s	power for every character which is uh
1378s	kind of not what we want at the moment
1380s	when we change adjust when we change or
1383s	adjust or improve other stuff the
1385s	extreme chat the extreme stats will calm
1387s	down but our players could fee could
1389s	feel that the main problem is still
1391s	prevalent so that's why they mostly
1393s	prefer the direct style
1395s	we believe that this is a dilemma in
1396s	maybe any game that has pvp there is no
1399s	wrong answer it both has his highs and
1401s	lows
1403s	but we understand that it may sometimes
1405s	not match what the characters are
1406s	thinking
1409s	get out of my chat aesop
1413s	okay
1414s	now
1415s	let's move on stats are very helpful in
1418s	setting us which characters to touch on
1420s	however the amount of time the amount we
1423s	decide to buff and nerf is a much much
1425s	harder problem and the point of feedback
1428s	that we receive when our patch with our
1429s	patches come out
1431s	the most the most feedback that we get
1433s	is that our buffs or nerves are either
1435s	too much or too little
1437s	we do keep a close eye on the community
1439s	since the players are definitely the
1442s	most knowledgeable about our game when
1444s	something is brought up by the community
1446s	a lot it may be something that we made a
1448s	mistake on in this case we carefully
1450s	observe the stats regarding the issue
1452s	whether it be wrong or right issue
1454s	issues provided by the community are
1456s	stats we tend to focus on
1459s	for example there was a patch season
1462s	patch this season regarding adela in
1463s	which we nerfed the rapier weapon skill
1466s	in this patch there were a lot of
1468s	feedback that adela needs more nerves
1470s	in the patch after that there were also
1472s	a lot of feedback about hyundai dodging
1473s	nerves
1475s	in this case both characters were under
1476s	surveillance and we checked their stats
1479s	every 30 minutes
1480s	adela stats adela's stats returned to
1483s	normal after the patch and was clean and
1485s	was concluded without any additional
1487s	nerves
1488s	in hindu's case data regarding him was
1490s	not that good but suddenly spiked as
1492s	soon as he gained access to windrunner
1494s	this led to a nerf to windrunner while
1496s	actually buffing hyunu
1498s	there are also more recent examples and
1501s	more spicy ones uh the most recent one
1504s	being felix
1505s	uh when we were nerfing felix felix's
1508s	stats were really really good when we
1510s	nerfed them and there were a lot of
1511s	feedback that felix needed more nerfs
1513s	than what he got
1515s	to tell the truth felix's shared
1517s	cooldowns are programmed as a separate
1519s	system
1520s	so there were some time constraints
1522s	where we failed to touch on before the
1524s	patch
1525s	there's actually a lot of situations
1526s	like this in which we want to do a
1528s	particular change but we can't do to
1532s	certain time issues we're going to talk
1534s	about this more in in a few the
1536s	conclusion we reached was the movement
1538s	speed nerf which not only damages felix
1540s	combat power but also his growth during
1543s	the early stages because he moves much
1544s	more slower
1547s	after the patch the main talking points
1549s	were felix and laura and both were on
1551s	close watch
1553s	the stature first were not good felix's
1555s	stats in lower tiers were returning to
1556s	normal and his win rate at midnight was
1558s	around three percent after the patch
1560s	with a average average kill rate
1563s	and that's when we did okay we did it
1565s	boys popped the champagne felix is dead
1567s	we did it our patches are good and after
1570s	that while checking other things felix's
1572s	stats started to spike around 2am
1574s	reaching the hotfix line by noon and
1576s	which
1577s	resulted in the emergency hotfix
1580s	and that's where we made the mistake
1582s	laura on the other hand still had stats
1584s	in normal levels around noon so she was
1586s	untouched
1587s	however
1588s	these are examples that we are still
1590s	keeping close eye on the community
1591s	feedback and we are we are always trying
1593s	to look if we made mistakes or not so
1595s	please voice your voice your opinion if
1598s	you think something we did is wrong and
1599s	we'll always try and listen
1603s	also uh i'll talk about arguments a bit
1606s	too
1607s	so
1607s	there is a lot of speculation around
1610s	arguments as well mostly regarding
1612s	diamond shard and healing factor
1615s	this may not be the answer you want but
1618s	mostly when an augment is strong it's
1621s	it's mostly because of the characters
1622s	that that's using it currently so what
1625s	we try and do is address the characters
1628s	instead of the augments for now but we
1630s	do think that this is an issue caused by
1633s	the lack of arguments that we currently
1635s	have
1636s	so we'll try and include we'll try and
1638s	include more arguments in the future so
1640s	that we can provide more ways for other
1642s	characters to touch on these
1645s	so
1646s	yeah we'll we'll keep a close eye on
1648s	these and please give us your feedback
1650s	on this as well
1652s	okay
1653s	anyway based on this there's a lot of
1655s	variables and the community was right
1657s	about felix and
1659s	okay i'm sorry
1661s	based on this there's a lot of variables
1663s	uh regarding balance the community was
1665s	right about felix the devs were right
1667s	about the della and there's also special
1669s	cases like hanu that needed deeper
1671s	digging we'll continue to look carefully
1674s	at community feedback so please voice
1675s	your opinions
1677s	however
1679s	besides all of these patches there was a
1681s	one particular patch that we
1684s	failed on which was very recent here it
1686s	is
1689s	the patch was the 0.56 patch which
1692s	included spicy changes such as reload
1694s	changes cathy changes and chloe changes
1697s	it really pains us to say
1699s	but when we saw the patch notes we were
1701s	also panicking as well because we were
1703s	saying why is this in the patch and like
1706s	what i i don't know what's happening i
1708s	guess you can say that it was a
1710s	certified nimble moment
1713s	the reason that this happens stems from
1716s	our current working system and mainly
1718s	branches and i'll go through that
1723s	this is a rundown of our branches from
1725s	early april
1726s	so if you look at all of these branches
1728s	these are all the branches that we're
1730s	currently working on although it varies
1732s	at time nimbu urine as a whole works on
1735s	about 15 branches it doesn't mean that
1737s	one person watches all 15 branches but
1740s	it means that people in different teams
1742s	work on different versions
1744s	to implement big features that require
1746s	over six months we have to plan them
1748s	first we got to write plans do modeling
1751s	prepare voices a lot of stuff happens
1753s	during this time
1754s	we this usually happens in this part
1756s	when with the individual developments
1758s	part we need to plan it we got to get
1760s	the stuff ready
1762s	and do it
1763s	and after that's mostly prepared we and
1766s	we got our components we begin to piece
1768s	them together for example when we when
1770s	we really when we're releasing adena
1773s	we combine animations effects and all
1776s	these other stuff to slowly make up the
1778s	character this is our last chance if you
1780s	want to change anything major since it
1781s	would require a lot of coding so this is
1783s	the part where we piece everything
1785s	together so it's 0.60 so that's still
1788s	like a month away and not to mention
1790s	like 0.63
1793s	finally we when we reach the main focus
1795s	branches we begin to code all the
1797s	components to ultimately reach the final
1800s	product
1800s	because of the interactions with our
1802s	thousands of features and the 50
1804s	character over 50 character roster we
1806s	have a large large amount of bugs during
1809s	this part and we we have to do qa we
1811s	have to fix bugs
1813s	and prepare all of that stuff so we're
1814s	really so the branches that are handled
1817s	here are usually really busy
1819s	and after the pro after the patch
1822s	reaches lives the branches are now used
1825s	to catch bugs that made it to the public
1827s	and we use that to fix them
1830s	okay
1831s	so what this means is that basically
1833s	while we're writing the 0.56 patch notes
1836s	we're also planning characters that will
1837s	be released at the end of the year while
1840s	also combining future characters such as
1842s	still will be which will be released way
1845s	later like
1847s	almost at the end of season at the end
1849s	of the season it kind of seems really
1851s	scuffed but this is actually a pretty
1854s	fairly common practice in gaming
1857s	some project managers dedicate their
1858s	whole time in organizing all of these
1861s	stuff
1862s	and since eternal return is a game
1863s	that's in the genre with very many
1865s	characters and also require many updates
1868s	and there could be more branches than
1870s	other games too
1873s	this is another example of our current
1876s	working system last time you said we
1878s	would be slowing down on characters to
1879s	focus more on other features but
1882s	we're still not doing that yet and this
1884s	may confuse a lot of our players because
1887s	it feels like we're not keeping up our
1889s	point of the bargain
1891s	but this is because we're still setting
1893s	up our schedule to make this happen and
1895s	it seems like the boat is finally
1896s	reaching to arrive at this point
1898s	i said earlier building a character
1900s	takes a really long time it takes
1902s	animations and sounds at all that we
1904s	actually have a picture here and yeah we
1907s	have to do planning we get the concept
1909s	art we do the modeling and voice
1910s	animation coding qa all of these things
1914s	take about seven to eight months
1916s	and yeah this is a really lot of stuff
1918s	that we need to take care of and
1920s	basically when we announced that we were
1922s	uh pushing characters
1924s	we were mostly in the middle of already
1926s	preparing characters that would that
1928s	would be released at the end of season
1930s	five
1931s	so
1933s	this is also a reason of our bad
1936s	balancing for new characters that was
1938s	recently brought up
1939s	uh because of we because we touch a lot
1942s	of these branches our schedule can go
1944s	from in let's say in one day we can play
1946s	tests felix in the morning then we go to
1948s	elena we go to priya then back to felix
1952s	and because of due to shifting in
1953s	multiple versions when the bug is found
1955s	mid-qa and is fixed the character may
1958s	like feel completely different and
1960s	balanced than what it was yesterday or
1962s	maybe
1963s	even from an earlier play test that just
1965s	happened the same day
1967s	the bugs and live are i know it's
1970s	there's there's quite some spicy ones
1972s	the bugs are pretty bad but the things
1974s	that happen in play testing is much much
1976s	worse and we do have to fix all of those
1979s	there was one time where a skill would
1981s	burn for your help where
1983s	there was one time a skill would burn
1984s	for 100 of your health so when it
1986s	touches you it instantly kills you and
1989s	it was really funny but like uh changing
1991s	something like that would mean that we
1993s	would have to balance that skill
1994s	entirely so it's just a really hard and
1997s	frustrating process
1998s	however we have slowed down and as you
2001s	can see in our roadmap too we're finally
2003s	slowing down on characters so we believe
2005s	that we can finally take the time to
2007s	focus on other stuff and slow down on
2010s	characters for now
2013s	okay
2014s	with improvements it's also the kind of
2016s	same thing there's improvements that we
2019s	can change with the whiff on our coding
2020s	sheet but some things require weeks of
2023s	coding uh the most recent chloe change
2025s	and can't be ground removal for example
2028s	were examples that took a lot of time
2030s	changes like this usually pop up since
2032s	the characters may need a balance
2034s	adjustment in the first place or may
2036s	require some adjustments
2038s	uh this is one of the things that are a
2040s	lot of our internal devs
2041s	who are actually some who are actually
2044s	pretty good at the game are really
2046s	stressed out about
2048s	we can request an improvement or change
2050s	and it could turn out to take a lot lot
2053s	long time for it to reach live
2056s	there's always feedback that we get
2058s	saying that we don't even know what the
2059s	problem is and then doesn't know what
2061s	the problem is but sometimes
2063s	but sometimes we do know what it is but
2065s	it just takes a long time for us to do
2067s	it
2068s	chloe and kathy are also related cases
2070s	in the case of kathy kathy's ground was
2072s	really really a powerful tool when she
2074s	first had it it gave a lot of it gave a
2076s	lot of power for her as an assassin
2078s	creating hard combos for
2081s	enemies to react to kathy at the time
2083s	was quite the menace and this change
2085s	would have helped her disagree
2086s	this changed with that helped her
2088s	decrease her high stats
2090s	if this change would have reached it
2092s	live it should have been at that time
2094s	when she was op however time passed and
2096s	a lot changed for kathy we definitely
2098s	should have checked this beforehand
2100s	or at least have made some compensation
2102s	if we were going to make this change and
2104s	we failed to do that and it would and
2106s	it's on us
2109s	okay we're now we're back to the
2111s	development branches 0.56 patch was a
2114s	really hard time for us we have the
2115s	kiting changes which was another brick
2117s	project for us internally and we were
2119s	also preparing the other new features
2121s	for season six as well we had the
2124s	pre-season update which well i will be
2126s	showing to you after
2128s	after a few minutes there was also the
2130s	er pass which has tons of new content
2133s	along with also very tricky payment
2136s	related issues
2138s	and the also the recently delayed cobalt
2141s	protocol has also reached our main focus
2143s	versions so we'll have to code that qa
2146s	that and get it ready for you all as
2148s	well
2149s	so to sum it up we were really busy
2152s	these last few patches we messed up and
2155s	these are all excuses and we'll do
2157s	better next time we're really sorry and
2159s	we'll try and improve better update
2161s	coupon right now
2163s	okay
2165s	now that we showed you why it happened
2167s	and now we'll try and explain how we'll
2169s	improve
2171s	the changes to the character process is
2173s	going to help us with our schedule so we
2175s	hope to improve the quality of not only
2176s	our new characters
2178s	but we'll also try and improve our other
2180s	features as well since we have a much
2182s	better schedule
2183s	we'll also be automating our stats
2185s	comparing system and yes this was all
2188s	done manually before it's really sad
2191s	but yeah now we hope that we will be
2193s	able to automate it in the future so
2194s	that it will prevent feature future
2196s	issues of us wrongly reading stats
2198s	and
2199s	we'll be able to catch on other
2201s	over-performing characters such as felix
2204s	we'll also be separating our internal
2205s	teams so that one team can focus on
2208s	features that are currently live well
2210s	while the other can also focus on
2212s	features that will develop on future
2213s	seasons that can be voted better so that
2215s	both can be better in quality
2218s	okay
2220s	i'm sorry
2222s	now let's talk about bugs
2224s	bugs are also a related issue with our
2227s	work schedule it feels like i'm saying
2229s	this a lot i'm sorry but yeah bugs are
2231s	also a related issue we said last time
2233s	that we'll try and reduce bugs that
2235s	happens in the game and actually it has
2237s	reduced overall like if you see the
2239s	graph the graph is actually
2241s	going down
2242s	and
2244s	uh yeah however the issue is that
2247s	there's some bugs that we can actually
2249s	fix with a quick hotfix while others are
2252s	sometimes very hard for us to solve in a
2253s	short amount of time
2255s	it's really not our intention to cherry
2257s	pick bugs this is not happening it's
2259s	more of some bugs are hard to fix and
2262s	some bugs are more easier to fix
2264s	this is a problem so the most recent one
2266s	was the shoeichi daggerbug and the
2268s	bianca coffin bug
2270s	the issue with ongoing bugs is that it's
2273s	hard for us to pinpoint what's actually
2275s	causing them
2281s	it it's hard for us to pinpoint what's
2283s	actually causing them if you know what
2284s	it is
2285s	if we know what it's causing it they can
2287s	be solved relatively easy for us it's
2290s	easier to have 10 bugs that we can
2291s	easily fix rather than one bug that we
2293s	can't wrap our heads on
2295s	another question was that
2297s	do we even know what bugs are happening
2299s	after they've been reported and the
2301s	answer is yes when a bug is reported
2303s	they are registered into our bug
2305s	tracking system bts for short and when
2308s	they're in our system we try to
2309s	reproduce these bugs every day by the
2311s	hundreds if it's not reproduced then we
2314s	have a problem and the bianca coffin bug
2317s	and the most recent weapons through fog
2319s	of war
2320s	these bugs were the most recent bugs
2322s	that had issues in us uh being unable to
2326s	find a reason behind them
2328s	usually this means we would have to
2330s	rewrite the entire code and this can
2333s	take weeks and months this happened to
2335s	our bianca kaufman bug and we had to
2338s	rewrite the code several times and we're
2340s	really sorry that it happened we weren't
2343s	uh we weren't trying to do it but you
2345s	know like stuff happens
2347s	and also when we change data or numbers
2350s	there's not a really risk of changing
2352s	them however when we touch on stuff like
2354s	vision cc model changes that's also
2357s	another issue the amount of codes that
2359s	interact with stuff like these are much
2361s	more wider than just the than just the
2363s	number change and this these things need
2366s	a full qa check of the change
2369s	uh the shoiichi dagger selection bug was
2371s	also a model issue of the dagger and we
2374s	were really skeptical about how fixing
2376s	it since uh we do not know what will
2378s	happen
2379s	when
2380s	when we hop it it could create other
2382s	issues more bigger issues that it could
2384s	create so it's really hard for us to
2386s	decide what bugs we will hotfix what
2389s	bugs we will not have fixed and what
2391s	what bugs we will have to start from
2393s	this start from scratch
2397s	in the end there's no real magical way
2399s	on us you know like solving bugs that we
2402s	can't wrap our heads up on it's just
2404s	that we'll work much more harder to make
2406s	four weeks become two six weeks become
2408s	four
2409s	so please continue to report any bugs to
2411s	our support we're always listening and
2413s	we'll continue and try to fix them to
2415s	make a better game
2418s	okay our last topic before we move on to
2421s	season six and i know this is also a
2424s	very popular topic it's optimization
2427s	i know a lot of people would like to
2429s	know about their optimization
2431s	status and i can say it's a work in
2435s	progress
2436s	due to us pushing a lot of content each
2438s	patch the amount of optimization we push
2440s	for each patch is usually minused out
2442s	which makes the game less optimized even
2444s	though we are doing improvements
2447s	also with optimization our programmers
2449s	need to go into the core of our games
2451s	coding so
2453s	this means an inexperienced dev wouldn't
2456s	likely be able to do stuff like
2458s	optimization
2460s	so we usually have our most experienced
2462s	programmer handling this one it's a real
2464s	difficult one for us to approach but
2466s	we'll be increasing the number of people
2468s	on this project for now
2470s	it will be
2471s	two plus people being added to
2473s	optimization that doesn't mean too we're
2475s	gonna add more people so please don't
2477s	use that meme okay we also have plans
2480s	for advanced options for settings we
2483s	expect turning turning only shadows off
2485s	will provide a significant boost for the
2488s	options and we'll try and add more
2489s	options too as we go on
2493s	we also have two long-term projects for
2496s	optima optimization too the first will
2498s	be our unity engine update to the 2021
2501s	version there's actually quite a big
2503s	difference between the two versions the
2505s	one that we have now and the 2021
2508s	version
2508s	so we do think that it will help us
2510s	greatly but there's also a lot of work
2513s	and we expect the arrival of the new
2515s	engine to be pretty buggy so we hope you
2518s	y'all understand when it actually comes
2520s	the schedule is scheduled to be the
2522s	update is scheduled to be done within
2524s	this year and we hope to push it out
2526s	soon
2527s	we're also planning to include a
2529s	rendering pipeline called urp which we
2532s	think will help us optimize our graphics
2534s	as well you can actually see about urp
2537s	here
2538s	as you can see i'm not a
2541s	most experienced programmer so it's
2543s	yeah we're doing stuff like this okay
2546s	now that we talked about optimization
2548s	that is it for our season 5 recap it was
2552s	quite a long and complex one and i'm
2555s	really sorry to info drop all of this
2558s	to y'all suddenly but yeah i hope that
2561s	this provided a lot of insight about
2562s	what we're doing mostly about our
2564s	balance our development pipelines our
2567s	branches we hope that cleaned a lot of
2570s	that up
2571s	okay now let's move on to season six
2575s	season six is lumia island
2579s	before we go into the actual changes
2582s	let's talk about phases
2584s	it's basically the early mid to late
2586s	game eternal return can usually be
2588s	divided into three phases there's a set
2590s	of phase where you go around the island
2592s	to farm the mid game phase where you
2594s	form mastery and special materials by
2596s	going for object by going for objectives
2599s	or killing animals or players
2601s	the endgame is played with restricted
2603s	area to determine the final survivor
2605s	and this other phase we think has
2607s	actually improved vastly with the
2610s	material increased patch
2611s	the farming became much more easier and
2614s	it completing your build became much
2616s	more forgiving
2617s	if we increase materials even further it
2620s	could feel better but we don't really
2622s	think it would provide any significant
2625s	change at this point
2627s	the mid-game phase however became much
2629s	more important mostly with the addition
2632s	of objectives
2633s	securing objectives meant that it would
2635s	guarantee a special material meaning you
2638s	will fall further behind if you fail to
2639s	get these items
2641s	and when players start to
2643s	fall further behind people
2645s	have to resort to dirt partying to the
2648s	mid to end game and although third
2650s	partying is a part of our game we are a
2652s	battle royale uh third partying is our
2655s	friend no one really likes the
2657s	experience of being jumped mid-fight and
2659s	that's something we want to fix
2661s	so
2663s	the this kind of flow of gameplay will
2666s	be greatly changed with the introduction
2667s	of three new features that will be
2669s	introduced in season six those are the
2672s	transfer drones transfer consoles and
2674s	mutants
2676s	let's start with transfer drones
2678s	transfer drones now allow the instant
2681s	shipment of white materials this can be
2683s	done through the craft ui or your saved
2686s	plan ui as seen here
2688s	so if you see this item if you see this
2691s	icon it means that it can be uh
2693s	delivered by transfer drones
2696s	although you can't instantly build items
2698s	with just this system due to there is a
2700s	set cost on which you which you gain
2703s	credits which i will talk about later on
2706s	but you can in the early game you will
2708s	be able to get at least one or two items
2711s	obtained through this system from the
2713s	start so
2714s	how how is this going to help
2717s	wait i'm sorry
2719s	okay transfer drones uh the drones will
2721s	instantly grant your item into your
2723s	inventory so the original plan was wait
2726s	uh this is not the gift i want yes this
2728s	is the gift i want so if you see the
2730s	drones will instantly grant your item
2732s	into your inventory the original plan
2734s	was to have the drone fly in from far
2736s	away but was replaced in the final
2738s	stages with the stealth trip drone here
2740s	it is there it is oh you can see it
2741s	right now okay you may think uh
2744s	white materials is this gonna change
2747s	much but this may actually bring very
2750s	big changes to the gameplay group i'm
2752s	sure everyone has the experience of
2754s	missing that one vital item
2756s	and you're really stressed you root back
2759s	wasting time
2760s	you meet a purple weapon luke you die
2763s	you turn off the game you go play
2765s	another game with three lanes and towers
2767s	i know that always happens to other
2769s	people and with transfer drones it won't
2771s	happen now because even if you are
2773s	unlucky during the farming phase you'll
2775s	have the saving grace of using this
2777s	system to get the item that you won't
2780s	that you did not get so
2783s	basically this system can also save you
2785s	from early game misfortunes
2790s	okay
2791s	and there's also the upside of being
2794s	able to skip an area entirely too some
2796s	plans require you to go to a certain
2798s	area just to pick up one or two items
2800s	but using using credits you'll be able
2802s	to save a lot of time by actually
2805s	skipping that area as a whole and
2807s	getting those items through transfer
2808s	drones this could open a lot of diverse
2811s	routes as well a lot of our internal
2813s	testers also came up with very
2814s	interesting builds utilizing transfer
2816s	drones and i'm sure our players will be
2819s	able to come up with much better builds
2820s	and much more creative builds when the
2822s	patch hits lumia island
2825s	this can also be used in the late game
2827s	as well when usually when you get the
2829s	four score in like the
2831s	end end game
2833s	uh sometimes you won't be able to craft
2835s	anything because most of the areas are
2837s	closed and you won't be able to get
2839s	bandages for auto arms you can't get the
2841s	headband for elysian halo
2843s	and it's kind of stressing
2846s	but with this new system you'll be able
2849s	to get those items quickly
2851s	quickly and you'll be able to upgrade
2853s	your items even in the late stages of
2855s	the game when you can't get that
2857s	specific white material
2860s	so yeah they'll also they'll be helping
2862s	you with your early game as well as your
2864s	late game too
2866s	and now let's talk more about the mid
2868s	game this is where the transfer consoles
2870s	come in actually our second new feature
2873s	will be transfer consoles i said that
2876s	white materials will be delivered
2878s	through transfer transfer drones but due
2880s	to limitations made by the researchers
2882s	special materials can only be accessed
2884s	through transfer consoles with these
2887s	you'll be able to get materials without
2888s	needing to contest certain objectives or
2891s	relying on a rng drop from animals
2894s	so as you can see here there's a slot on
2897s	which you want to pick you can prick
2899s	tree of lights meteorite metro vf blood
2902s	path force core and even first aid to
2904s	cat first aid kit
2906s	so see
2908s	so yeah but there's also this looks
2910s	really good and it seems like it's a
2913s	shop but it's actually not
2915s	there's also downside for consoles
2917s	transfer consoles will only be available
2919s	starting from day two and will require
2921s	and this is important it will require 20
2924s	seconds for the material to be shipped
2926s	to the location meaning during these 20
2929s	seconds this can also be contested by
2931s	other players too
2933s	because the material itself will be
2935s	granted as a supply box
2937s	so
2938s	if you're not near that place
2940s	your your supply box is either going to
2942s	be taken by someone else
2944s	or
2945s	you know someone could come and fight
2947s	you for it
2949s	uh consoles will also be disabled for
2951s	one minute upon usage so you'll have to
2953s	show up early early to use them too if
2955s	other four people used it you can
2958s	so like
2959s	it can be used indefinitely but there
2962s	will still be this one minute downtime
2963s	between transfers so you'll have to plan
2966s	you you have to plan your route to make
2968s	it so that the consoles aren't disabled
2970s	when you arrive to them
2972s	there's also only four consoles uh
2975s	across lumia island
2977s	the four are in avenue hotel chapel a
2979s	chapel church chapel church and hospital
2983s	so you'll have to carefully plan your
2986s	next move if you want to use them and
2987s	also you will have to plan your credits
2990s	too because costs are still being
2991s	decided and you'll also get to see them
2993s	when the patch hits
2995s	now that we talked about transfer drones
2997s	and transfer consoles we can now see how
2999s	exactly can we use these transfer
3002s	features
3004s	we now have a system called credits
3007s	transfer consoles and drones can be used
3009s	by using credits credits can either be
3012s	gained over time with the day and night
3014s	cycle this means day a night cycle
3016s	change and this will be your income with
3018s	the change and but it can also be gained
3020s	through killing players as well
3023s	however uh killing players aren't the
3025s	really most reliable stuff that uh the
3029s	most reliable source to gather credits
3031s	so there also needs to be another
3033s	reliable source to get credits and
3034s	that's where mutants come into play
3038s	with increase of bf density and due to
3040s	the increased amount of experiments our
3042s	animals are starting to get mutated
3044s	these animals won't be at the start of
3046s	the game and will only appear by chance
3048s	when they're respawning and they'll also
3050s	be more powerful too
3052s	and the catch is that when you kill a
3054s	wild mutated wild animal it will grant
3057s	credits
3059s	so basically it will work as a chart
3061s	system for your special materials so
3064s	each time you
3065s	kill a mutated wild animal it will add
3067s	up to your upgrades
3070s	mutants will serve as the middle ground
3072s	between hunting
3074s	deep it will serve as the middle ground
3075s	for normal hunting and objectives they
3078s	provide a guaranteed resource that will
3080s	add up for a special material while also
3082s	serving as a mini objective due to their
3085s	power level
3090s	here you can see all the cool new
3092s	animals here you can see
3095s	bare
3096s	stronger bear
3098s	here's berry
3100s	and here's choco and you can see all the
3102s	new animals they're pretty cool
3105s	they're just chilling
3107s	and as you can see although this really
3109s	happens you better be careful when
3111s	you're aggroing two mutant bears at once
3113s	because as you can see by the health bar
3116s	they're they're pretty pretty strong you
3118s	you don't want to get killed by wild
3120s	animals yet minus 10 points in your
3122s	tournament
3126s	okay now that we talked about the three
3128s	features let's talk about the new phases
3131s	with the
3132s	with the addition of credits and the
3134s	transfer drones and consoles it will
3136s	provide players with a new strategic
3139s	advantage you can either use credits to
3143s	you can either use them early to pull
3145s	off fast or wacky builds or you can save
3147s	them up to get a special material later
3149s	on
3150s	looking for mutants can now also be a
3151s	strategy but it will kind of be hard to
3153s	ride off of them because like people can
3156s	think like oh then i can just kill
3158s	mutants and
3159s	then i can get upgrades for free by just
3162s	riding off of mutants this will not
3164s	happen since they're much more powerful
3166s	and there's also being the danger of
3167s	being contested for transfer consoles so
3170s	since they'll be contested if you are if
3173s	you rather the whole game and someone
3175s	with much more kills show up your you're
3178s	basically wasted your credits because
3180s	that guy will just come and take the
3182s	special material
3183s	okay so now we have diverse options in
3186s	the mid game we have objectives we have
3188s	saving credits rushing we got the
3190s	mutants we got the consoles we hope that
3192s	this will be able to provide new fun and
3194s	interesting strategies coming to lumia
3196s	island in season six
3201s	okay now before we move on we will have
3204s	a quick uh
3206s	a break time not yet not yet but we're
3209s	gonna before we have to break time we're
3211s	gonna show off some cool new er past
3213s	stuff i know all of you are hyped for
3216s	these
3217s	at first we have the nikki skin
3220s	it will be beach beach volleyball nikki
3223s	and the these skin lines were made due
3226s	to our character voting that happened
3228s	last week and last week last year uh
3231s	originally they were planned for season
3233s	seven but since the characters seemed
3235s	more fit for a summer style concept we
3240s	we put more of our soul into it so that
3242s	we can get it for you more early
3244s	nikki was originally
3246s	made set made second place so it should
3249s	have been a rare skin but you know like
3251s	it's it's second place rare skin
3254s	ah still and we also had the daniel
3257s	daniel change to epic and we thought
3260s	since nikki is gonna be a seasoned pack
3262s	skin we thought why not
3264s	let's just do an epic skin so
3267s	you heard it here first
3269s	nikki will be a epic epic
3272s	skin coming to you with the season pack
3275s	as well so bye season pack i will be
3278s	watching from your walls
3282s	okay
3283s	there were three three characters that
3285s	were voted and voted in but
3287s	there were but like since nicki made it
3289s	into the season pack there was one slot
3292s	missing and what better character would
3295s	be fit for a beach themed er pass rather
3299s	than daddy leon
3301s	he will be our
3303s	he will be making it into our er pass
3306s	and will be the first skin for the er
3308s	pass and we will be a rare skin
3311s	and looking ahead is
3314s	this outfit i also really want to go on
3316s	a summer break and then please give me
3318s	summer break i want to go to the beach
3322s	okay now here is our number three on the
3325s	character vote which is rio
3328s	okay so
3329s	usually pascans have a uncommon rare and
3332s	epic skin
3333s	but
3334s	this er pass we will not have any
3336s	uncommon skins and all and all skins
3339s	will be rare i mean
3341s	the uns these skins that were
3343s	originally gonna be uncommon will be a
3345s	rare skin so both rio and leon will
3347s	become a rare skin
3351s	also there were some people who are very
3353s	sad about real skin
3355s	rios rio getting multiple skins i will
3358s	talk about the skin process in a bit so
3362s	yeah i'll talk about that in a few we're
3364s	also going to have another character
3366s	vote in the summer so please look
3368s	forward to that too and we'll promise
3369s	we'll deliver more amazing skins
3374s	okay and our number one on our character
3376s	skin and our character vote which was
3379s	sua and will be our epic skin final skin
3382s	for our season six er pass
3385s	that looks you know it looks amazing so
3388s	make sure to buy the er pass coming on
3390s	season six with your mp i'm gonna be
3392s	watching i'm gonna be checking your
3394s	accounts
3395s	to see if you purchase the erpas i i see
3398s	all of your
3400s	nicknames here
3403s	and we got other rewards as well we got
3406s	we got other rewards as well we got the
3408s	emotes we got the tombstones of the
3411s	great stuff
3413s	and we have a special good news
3417s	we have fixed the bug for the red dot
3419s	bug for the shopping collection
3421s	so even though you don't
3423s	pick every single item that's come out
3425s	new
3426s	it will not show up red so that can stop
3429s	bugging you now it's a big fix
3431s	and there's also also gonna be
3433s	additional rewards after reaching max
3435s	level of your battle pass we got a lot
3438s	of feedback regarding this because like
3440s	after you reach level 100 there's
3442s	nothing to do
3443s	and we would want more rewards and yes
3445s	that is coming
3446s	playing after reaching max level will
3448s	grant you ep tokens giving you the
3451s	opportunity to buy stuff like old emotes
3454s	from the past
3459s	also regarding secret shops the shipping
3462s	for the lash stop should be starting
3464s	around the next week we're really sorry
3466s	for the delay it's mostly because of
3468s	covid and yeah the shipping process
3471s	wasn't that easy
3472s	it wasn't very kind to us over the last
3475s	year and since and where we will finally
3477s	be starting the shipping and we thank
3480s	you all for waiting for us about this
3483s	the secret shop is also coming back with
3485s	new goodies for this season we got the
3488s	cool new mouse pad with the cool new art
3491s	for season six i'm actually gonna buy
3494s	this too it looks amazing and we also
3496s	got two work in progress projects too
3499s	looking at this i'm i definitely don't
3501s	know what this is it may be a new
3503s	character i don't know but we'll get a
3505s	new sneak peek as the secret shop comes
3508s	out
3510s	and here is our
3512s	er pass wallpaper available for everyone
3516s	and please everyone prepare for our
3518s	summer coming to lumia island with
3520s	season six er pass season pack
3523s	everything's coming time to buy
3527s	and now we have fun stats for season
3530s	five
3532s	uh yeah we'll go over these real quick
3535s	so the most pro the most purchased skins
3537s	will be dragon dance lead island convi
3540s	bianca and midnight shinobi yuki
3543s	dragon dance island will make his will
3545s	make her first appearance here but
3547s	you'll be seeing her more in the other
3549s	sets too
3550s	the most purchased characters were laura
3553s	fiora and dia
3555s	laura and dia were new characters so
3556s	they were most likely to be most
3558s	purchased but fiora because of the
3560s	character price reductions or it seems
3562s	like she was quite popular among the new
3564s	players as well
3567s	for skin usage some may be
3571s	it may be confusing what this actually
3572s	is this means that uh how much a
3574s	character actually uses a skin
3576s	so this means that uh the whole of
3579s	eighty one point eight percent lead
3580s	eileen users uses a skin and there's
3583s	also haitian and sisella who made it
3587s	who also made it first and third place
3588s	for the last season as well but you can
3590s	see that li-dai lin made her new
3592s	appearance here as well we all we all
3594s	know why she's here
3595s	because because of that skin the
3597s	favorite skin the popular skin
3601s	and also this is kind of also a fun stat
3604s	but most of our characters all have a
3607s	skin usage rate of over 50 percent so
3610s	there are more people using skins than
3612s	not using
3613s	skins which is pretty interesting
3617s	and since there's only girls we also got
3620s	some boys boys as well our hyunu made it
3623s	first place with 76.4 percent we also
3626s	have shoeichi and iso coming in at
3629s	second entered place
3630s	another interesting stat is the
3633s	the chroma skin for the
3636s	cadet cadet hanu which only had a usage
3639s	of 0.8 percent
3644s	now here's the most used skins the this
3647s	means that uh how much the skin was used
3650s	out of the skin pool so although lydia
3652s	lin has three three skins four counting
3655s	the bass skin
3657s	dragon dance lead island was used for
3659s	seventy point one percent which means
3662s	that seventy point one percent of lead
3663s	islam players all use dragon dance lead
3666s	island uh yan and zahir also made second
3669s	and third place but
3671s	these characters only have one skin so
3673s	it's more
3675s	it's more understandable that they have
3677s	a high skin usage rate
3681s	now this is also another special stat
3684s	characters that i fished the most we got
3686s	our cook cook of lumia island we got
3688s	shukai we got our fisher on third place
3691s	lenox but bianca made it into the list
3694s	as second place i guess she likes fish
3696s	and chips we now know that that's now a
3700s	cannon part of the lore
3703s	we got the weapon with most kills we got
3706s	glove bat and dual swords i guess
3709s	melee was popping off
3712s	yes ranged characters now have something
3714s	to say
3716s	and finally we have our season 5 meta
3719s	golem
3720s	uh if you see the
3722s	something interesting to point from here
3724s	is that the solo metagolam usually have
3726s	attack speed based items while squad has
3729s	a usually have items from skill amp
3733s	the dual one usually had a items mostly
3736s	mixed between attack speed and
3738s	and skill amp so as we as i said before
3741s	duo seems to be hitting the sweet spot
3743s	between silhouette squad but will we
3745s	continue to monitor that
3748s	okay
3748s	now with that we will be moving on to
3751s	our break and be doing the part two for
3753s	lumia island improvements but before we
3756s	go we have our coupon our 1200 event mp
3761s	you're gonna be rich now we got summer
3763s	is coming coupon everyone turn on your
3766s	er right now type in coupon summer is

4414s	my bills and then it's gotta pay me
4415s	please buy them okay
4417s	now with all of that said let's move on
4420s	to our next part of the devstream
4422s	we will be talking about more changes
4424s	for lumia island
4426s	we got we've gone over
4428s	gone over a lot of big changes but
4431s	there's also going to be improvements
4432s	for our current systems as well and
4434s	they're quite the important ones
4438s	and yes we will be having a season six
4440s	pack just like in season five available
4443s	in season six six thousand five hundred
4446s	mp get your mp right now with double mp
4450s	okay let's talk about temporary safe
4453s	areas as i said earlier the combat ping
4456s	deletion did help with third partying
4458s	but it hasn't been able to completely
4460s	remove it and the third partying will
4462s	always be a feature in battle royales
4464s	but we'll still working but we're still
4466s	looking for ways to alleviate it with
4468s	the addition of transfer consoles and
4470s	mutants it would help us scatter players
4472s	more across the map and that will result
4474s	in less fiestas
4477s	in specific objectives but another
4480s	prominent place in which a lot of third
4482s	partying happens is the temporary
4484s	restricted areas
4485s	usually when two players are fighting on
4488s	the other side of the temporary
4489s	restricted areas the best option for
4492s	the other other person who's in the
4494s	other side of the map is to just run
4496s	across and third-party players fighting
4499s	when you do this you usually have the
4500s	timer power and maybe the cooldown
4502s	advantage as well so it almost
4504s	guarantees a one it almost guarantees a
4507s	win
4508s	so currently players are able to see on
4510s	their mini-map if the area on the other
4512s	side is having combat or not due to
4514s	switching on and off
4516s	with the new changes players will no
4518s	longer be able to see the opposing
4520s	restricted areas
4522s	being turned on and off if they do not
4524s	have vision of the area you want to see
4526s	what's happening it's now your risk to
4527s	take do you think they're fighting you
4529s	have to go there yourself you have to
4530s	check out yourself if you make the big
4532s	risk and went there and you don't see
4534s	them fighting them you wasted timer so
4537s	all there's more stuff to think about in
4539s	final restricted areas i mean temporary
4541s	safe areas so keep this in mind and we
4544s	hope that this will uh
4547s	not encourage third party in the in this
4549s	later stages of the game
4554s	okay we got flowers and fetters flowers
4558s	are now growing all around lumia island
4560s	making them easier
4562s	to access and fetters can all be also
4565s	gained by killing mutant chickens so
4567s	that's more easier too we believe that
4569s	providing ways to get flowers and
4571s	fritters this way it provides a
4573s	opportunity to give materials in a more
4575s	lore friendly way and we'll try and and
4578s	try and introduce more of these
4579s	interactable ways to gain certain
4582s	objects objects items in the future
4586s	mutant tickets not just chickens you got
4589s	to get that right
4591s	wikiline improvements wickline
4593s	improvements uh bitcoin improvements to
4595s	be honest aren't really going that well
4598s	ar improvements are really tricky for us
4600s	and
4601s	yeah it's still being pushed we are on
4604s	copium but we'll do it however there
4607s	will be some other improvements to a
4609s	client too wikline will now spawn in
4611s	three different locations based on the
4613s	current restricted area state
4615s	she will also be unable to be aggroed
4618s	when you hit her for a hitter at a
4620s	certain distance so it's no longer
4622s	possible to join curve for long range as
4624s	well
4624s	so that will help
4626s	so yeah that will help
4628s	other players too she needs more
4630s	improvements and that's a fact mostly
4632s	the ai ones i know she teleports across
4635s	your character and it's really bad but
4637s	you know we'll slowly but surely try and
4639s	improve her
4643s	no no it's not no aggro from ranged
4645s	attacks it means that if you're in a
4647s	certain distance it will not get aggro
4649s	you can still aggro
4652s	okay
4653s	this was a kind of interesting one this
4656s	is bushes and sounds of footsteps
4659s	so footsteps are something that we've
4661s	been debating uh quite a long time so
4664s	footsteps create a lot of tension in
4665s	game but it also gives a lot of
4667s	information in the game with very
4670s	limited access to vision this basically
4672s	replaced uh stuff that you can basically
4674s	gain from vision however when it came to
4677s	actual combat by hearing the footsteps
4679s	you can know exactly what your opponent
4681s	is trying to do this results in even if
4684s	you enter a bush your opponent can hear
4686s	your footsteps and
4687s	the opponent will know exactly if you're
4689s	moving left you're moving right whether
4691s	you're waiting to make a counter attack
4693s	so when you're being chased it was kind
4695s	of uh could kind of be strange
4699s	so we're trying to reduce the amount of
4701s	information provided by this we tried a
4703s	lot of ways to tweak footsteps we tried
4706s	reducing
4707s	the range of footsteps we tried removing
4711s	enemy footsteps entirely but in the end
4714s	we settled on removing footstep sounds
4716s	in bushes
4718s	with this change you can now easily you
4720s	can now more easily trigger opponents
4722s	with your movements you can outplay them
4724s	by going into the bush and coming back
4726s	out and can try and prepare for a
4727s	counter attack as well as well as juking
4730s	too
4730s	during our play testing this was deemed
4733s	the most fun but please give your
4735s	feedback on this because this is
4737s	something that we're that we're trying
4739s	out in preseason and we definitely need
4740s	your feedback on this and if after we
4743s	get all the feedback we'll try and
4744s	improve this further
4746s	also uh this was a question i kind of
4749s	got throughout the last patch with the
4752s	improvements of our sound system issues
4754s	like footsteps sounding like doubling
4757s	these stuff and not very intuitive
4759s	mechanics such as ghost stepping as stop
4762s	will be removed overall and we will be
4764s	replaced into
4766s	features such as this
4773s	okay saved plans with the intro that
4776s	even the introduction of transfer drones
4779s	we're also trying to shift around the ui
4781s	for the safe plan section as well but
4784s	sadly we're still in the planning
4786s	process for this at the moment so it may
4788s	take some time but we're definitely on
4790s	this so please look look out for this
4793s	one
4799s	okay now let's talk about adding new
4801s	systems this is kind of a middle line so
4804s	like we're going to have a quick talk
4805s	about adding new systems so when we add
4808s	the new system it bring it camping it
4810s	can bring new change to the game and can
4812s	provide newfound fun to original players
4814s	as well but this can also be added as a
4817s	barrier for new players too like
4820s	each time we add a mechanic it becomes
4822s	much more harder for new players to
4825s	go to get used to it recently we got the
4828s	chance to talk with a famous developer
4829s	thanks to microsoft to develop the
4832s	developer said that the most important
4834s	thing for a season based game is to
4836s	create new fun
4837s	while removing the unfun from each
4840s	season with the emphasis on the removing
4842s	the unfun part
4844s	each time when we present new features
4846s	to a n a publisher or other game company
4849s	the question we usually get is okay it
4851s	looks cool but so what's going to be
4853s	removed in this place you can't just
4855s	keep adding stuff
4857s	removing a system is not always the most
4860s	welcome way for players so it's really
4862s	hard for us to remove a system as a
4865s	whole
4866s	there's stuff like that was well
4867s	received such as the combat ping removal
4870s	which greatly reduced third partying but
4872s	there were also changes such as closing
4874s	the food gap or
4876s	the auto revive stuff as well this was
4879s	this do have mixed feedback and
4883s	we are trying to improve it as we go on
4886s	reloads also fall into this category the
4889s	whole idea was that we wanted to remove
4891s	the mechanic to make it easier but and
4894s	also removing a designated designated
4896s	hotkey however this was the wrong choice
4899s	this was another certified nimble
4902s	moment
4902s	we should have considered how much it
4904s	would it will make it hard for our
4906s	original users
4907s	you know like we should have taken all
4909s	of that into consideration how much it
4912s	would make it harder for our original
4913s	users
4914s	too so but
4916s	yeah
4917s	we'll try and stop doing those stuff
4920s	with the addition of transfer consoles
4921s	and drones and cobalt protocol i guess
4923s	we're all just busy on our own work and
4926s	the pressure pressured out pressured us
4928s	out of thinking clearly when we when
4930s	removing something we'll try and think
4932s	more hardly on what we'll try and remove
4934s	and we'll try and remove the bad and not
4937s	remove something good
4938s	like the reloading stuff still
4942s	but we do have a new removal change for
4945s	the next one and i honestly think a lot
4948s	of people are going to be happy about
4950s	this let's go it is the
4953s	removal of esd and ebad we are getting
4957s	rid of flat amp and ebad vladam and ebad
4961s	are almost being removed from the game
4965s	in the early stages of the game uh evad
4968s	and vladam provided
4970s	provided content for the players and
4971s	opened up new builds but with the coming
4974s	times these stats served as a roadblock
4976s	for us when we're dealing with balance
4978s	like when you say can we buff skill
4980s	damage for characters with multi-hit no
4982s	because e-bat exists and vice versa for
4984s	flat app also with season 6 flat amp
4988s	will be completely removed from the game
4990s	flat amp is no more it is no more you
4992s	cannot find it inside lumia island while
4995s	ebad will remain in the game but it will
4998s	be very limited in usage and will also
5000s	become a unique option
5002s	so
5003s	yes ebat is still in the game but it's
5006s	going to be really limited so you won't
5008s	see
5009s	scary stuff like that before like as now
5012s	evad and flat amp defense will also be
5015s	vastly removed or adjusted as well
5019s	and with these big big changes honestly
5021s	this should bring a lot of big changes
5023s	to both routes and balance tiers across
5026s	the board and there's gonna be a big
5028s	shake up it may bring chaos throughout
5031s	the preseason but we do think that this
5033s	was a change that had to be made the
5035s	community wanted it the devs wanted it
5037s	and we're doing it and it will benefit
5039s	characters for the coming future
5044s	okay so we can't just remove stats and
5047s	do nothing so with the flat amp and ebat
5049s	being almost non-existent now we'll be
5052s	adding more skill amp ratios to
5053s	characters now previous skills had a lot
5056s	of ap ratios which means high ap gave a
5059s	lot of advantages
5061s	however this created issues in which
5063s	characters would lose individuality and
5065s	also led to metas in which tanks would
5067s	just stack defense and hp regen and they
5070s	will ignore every damage in the game and
5072s	magnus's will be swarming the last
5075s	restricted area so what we're going to
5077s	be doing is so we'll be adjusting a lot
5079s	of skills to be reduced in ap ratios but
5082s	we're also going to be adding skill amp
5084s	ratios to existing characters
5086s	for example adriana's q will be changed
5089s	from true damage to skill damage and
5091s	will have a new skill amp ratio
5094s	while also having her ap ratios
5097s	decreased
5099s	so basically it's going to be skill
5100s	damage with amp ratios and ap ratios
5103s	msq will also have a new skill amp ratio
5106s	for reduced ap ratio
5109s	so we hope that with this change
5111s	characters will have more diversity on
5113s	which builds they choose and hope that
5115s	it can create more play styles in the
5117s	future too as we go on the one thing we
5120s	are kind of worried about is that
5122s	skill amp is currently a percentage
5124s	ratio which is kind of hard to
5126s	understand as when we just see it and
5130s	when we're calculating damage we are
5132s	considering
5133s	changing it to a number based stat so
5136s	that it would work similar as adap such
5139s	as the one in league of legends but
5141s	we'll we'll try and see that please give
5143s	it your feedback on this and we'll see
5145s	how it goes
5149s	okay and now we have the item rarity
5152s	rework
5153s	with more special materials being
5155s	available to players due to the transfer
5157s	console addition item rarity is also
5160s	going to get a rework
5162s	in the early in the early parts of the
5164s	game stuff like radar were legendary
5167s	items because they were very hard to
5168s	craft compared to other items but now
5171s	that there are a lot of
5173s	new special material items and that they
5175s	can now be normally crafted
5179s	almost all of the normally crafted items
5181s	will be changed into
5183s	i'm sorry
5185s	almost all of the normally crafted items
5187s	will be changed into epic items while
5189s	special material items will be boosted
5191s	into legendary items
5193s	following this there is also going to be
5194s	huge adjustments in stats regarding this
5196s	as well so keep so also keep a look out
5200s	on those big changes as well we're gonna
5201s	have a big shake up with these all of
5204s	these changes so prepare for a very
5206s	chaotic but fun season
5209s	six
5211s	now this one's kind of interesting these
5213s	are traps traps are kind of in a niche
5216s	spot right now they're currently only
5218s	being used by a select number of players
5220s	and the recipes are also pretty hard to
5222s	memorize the current plans for traps is
5225s	trying to make it
5227s	easier to craft while also providing
5229s	special gimmicks for each trap
5231s	this one was a kind of a long one coming
5235s	but clink clatters will have a special
5237s	gimmick of creating a ping on the map
5239s	whether it's whether it's being stepped
5241s	on but also when it's being installed so
5245s	you can either create a false ping
5246s	yourself to lure enemies to you or you
5249s	can make your enemies step on clean cat
5252s	killing clutters so you can know where
5254s	they are
5255s	gimmicks are something that can be hard
5257s	to balance you know we haven't really
5259s	decided on all of the gimmicks as well
5261s	and we do not want to have traps we do
5264s	not want traps to be a must-have for
5267s	combat so like if you don't have traps
5269s	you just instantly lose the game we do
5271s	not want this so can it so we'll
5273s	continue to monitor it and plan this
5275s	thoroughly
5278s	can it make a funny noise too
5281s	our director is listening so
5283s	i'll i'll relay that can cling cladders
5285s	have a fun noise when it's triggered
5290s	maybe later maybe later
5295s	okay now let's go on to the number of
5298s	players this one's kind of a tricky one
5300s	it this is always a very important
5302s	question uh how many players would it
5304s	make it to be most exciting to play on
5306s	lumia island would it be more players
5308s	less players is always the question
5311s	regarding this we'll be adding the
5312s	varying test subject feature and this is
5316s	actually a long long requested feature
5319s	for an naeu essay ranked basically if
5322s	matching becomes two longer the game
5325s	will start at 15 people yeah this was
5328s	one that you really wanted it will start
5329s	with 15 people if the matchmaking
5331s	becomes too long this was quite the
5333s	requested feature in english-speaking
5335s	regions due to our current state of
5336s	matchmaking and it's finally here we
5339s	don't know
5340s	how much it will change matchmaking but
5342s	we're trying it out so get ready to spam
5344s	1415 instead of 17-18 however however
5348s	there are some bad news the exact
5351s	timeline is not set but we do want to
5354s	put it in during season six because like
5357s	this requires some coding so we're not
5359s	really sure
5360s	but we want to do it within season six
5363s	we definitely want to do it within
5364s	within season six oh for duos this is
5367s	for all modes so we're gonna tweak each
5369s	mode specifically to start with less
5371s	players if the matching becomes too long
5373s	1415 was a
5376s	example so yeah it's going to be like
5378s	that and
5379s	we want to do it within season six but
5382s	even if it's late we'll do it within
5384s	season seven at the latest
5389s	okay now this is a visual update time
5393s	we're going to look at lumia island's
5395s	visual updates
5397s	visual updates might be a bit bit scary
5399s	because of optimization but listen but
5402s	rest assured this will bring an increase
5404s	in quality while also decreasing
5406s	optimization overload so it's a good
5408s	change
5409s	however due to cobalt protocol there's
5411s	not that much changes compared to last
5413s	time so let's just have a look at them
5416s	we got the pawn bridge getting an ark
5419s	yes best change in the whole season it
5422s	will also have signs that you will never
5425s	see because it's a top-down view game
5429s	we also have cemetery ah texture updates
5432s	ah best change in the game
5435s	we also made this this uh this uh
5438s	running down house into
5441s	we made it worse it's more broken now
5444s	fit for a battle royale
5447s	we got the entrance to cemetery it has a
5450s	sign now best change
5452s	and we got fences fences walls walls for
5456s	cemeteries too so lumia island is now a
5459s	completely different place
5461s	we did it boys
5463s	okay
5464s	now that's over let's go on to the new
5466s	characters i'm sure you already all see
5470s	seen the concept arts but let's go over
5472s	them quickly
5474s	we got the rootless aggression character
5476s	marcus
5477s	he's our newest axe user and he looks
5480s	pretty bulky i also know he's the savior
5482s	of eternal return when marcus comes out
5485s	we're going to have ranked 24 7 so
5487s	prepare for that one
5491s	and we also got carla carla was also
5493s	introduced she's got the new harpoon
5496s	crossbow so she's gonna use that to
5498s	catch some big fish

5503s	favorites there's also our newest uh

5511s	firefighter type
5512s	character she has she also she also is
5515s	an axe user but also has that shield so
5517s	maybe she's gonna use some tanky moves

5622s	we're giving love to our skater elena
5625s	too
5627s	and we got marcus's new skin he's
5629s	already showing off that grip he's not
5631s	even out yet and i can already see that
5633s	he's going to be the savior of er yes
5636s	we're getting ranked 24 7.
5638s	there's also the new lifeguard skin for
5640s	carla too
5642s	right down her alley
5644s	we also got the summer themed magnus uh
5647s	it's not bikini magnus but this will do
5650s	he's got that cool summer vive thing
5652s	so and he's also got the new green green
5655s	motorcycle so let's
5657s	let's go
5660s	we got also got esto's new skin
5663s	she looks blue in this rather than
5666s	rather than red so look forward to this
5667s	too i also saw that estelle was pretty
5669s	popular among the english-speaking
5671s	regions so keep a good eye on her too
5675s	we also got piolo's new skin and
5677s	pillow's used skin is actually very
5679s	special uh field
5681s	peels new skin will actually be re
5684s	will actually be re be released with the
5687s	character
5689s	so he will be the first character who is
5691s	also going to get a skin on release
5694s	so
5695s	this was always requested
5697s	i think it was when we first announced
5699s	skins but it's finally happening so
5702s	hope we hope that we'll be able to do
5704s	stuff like this in the future as well
5708s	we got exterminator
5709s	adriana we hope that her exterminating
5712s	skills can also get rid of our bugs in
5715s	game
5717s	and okay this one was this one's kind of
5720s	a long one this one we'll be talking
5722s	about our state of skins
5725s	a lot of you may be wondering why rios
5727s	only got around skins and why is aya not
5730s	getting a skin that fast first it's not
5732s	because enin likes a specific character
5734s	we love all of our characters equally
5736s	mostly because as we showed you each
5738s	character takes up to seven to eight
5740s	months it takes an extremely long time
5742s	and effort to create each character we
5744s	just cannot love a specific character
5747s	and do not like another because they are
5749s	these are all characters that we created
5752s	through our hard work and
5754s	they're yeah we all love all of our
5756s	characters also the process of making
5758s	skins is really complicated usually the
5761s	dev team plan skins for characters that
5762s	did not have a skin for the longest time
5764s	uh being at aya for right now the art
5767s	team then looks at the plans and
5768s	speculates if they'll turn out pretty
5770s	pretty when we reach the end
5773s	the business team prefers characters
5774s	that are popular should be the ones that
5776s	should get the skins uh this is because
5779s	usually a popular skin will sell over
5782s	more than 20 times than an unpopular
5785s	skin that's actually a pretty big amount
5787s	and being a game company we
5790s	we are still a company so we can't
5792s	ignore all of these requests but we
5794s	always are in discussions
5797s	to get skins to all of our lovable
5799s	characters the er pass it also comes
5801s	into play because since we have to match
5803s	concepts certain characters may end up
5805s	taking slots leon because he's our cool
5809s	surfing guy made it into our beach er
5812s	pass so some stuff like that can also be
5815s	taken into consideration when we pick
5817s	skins
5818s	there's also the issue of external
5820s	reasons having skins with short release
5822s	terms like rio are 100 bad no one wants
5825s	this even the business team dev team art
5827s	team no one wants this to happen this
5829s	also happened before with yuki when we
5832s	released the midnight obu key because
5834s	this was part of our
5836s	part of our events with microsoft and
5839s	that ended up resulting in that schedule
5842s	skins are also sometimes outsourced i
5844s	think i talked about talked about this
5846s	before but yes our skins are sometimes
5847s	outsourced and we can run into
5849s	unexpected issues it can be from size
5852s	quality anything that can be an issue
5854s	that can result in a retake or the
5856s	project can be dropped entirely based on
5859s	the issue the skins that we already
5861s	showed you are mostly the ones that we
5863s	can surely finish like we can deliver
5865s	100
5866s	and there's also so that means there's
5869s	also a lot of other skins that are
5870s	preparing being prepared behind the
5872s	scenes too the eye skin here in
5874s	particular is one of those unfortunate
5876s	ones as you can see
5878s	the concept art is using the old logo
5881s	meaning that she was set to release way
5883s	before maybe even last year but you know
5886s	like various issues got into the way
5889s	this skin is currently scheduled for
5891s	august 25th but we can't really make any
5893s	promises since it's close to season
5895s	seven things could be shifted but yeah
5898s	we hope that this kind of gift uh gave
5901s	an insight of our skin situation and
5904s	we're really sorry for all the players
5906s	waiting especially the ayah players
5907s	who've been waiting almost over a year
5909s	and we'll try and not disappoint on this
5911s	one
5914s	okay now we get to see a deep dive of
5918s	our delayed but ruby fun season six
5922s	cobalt protocol
5925s	which will be coming in just a month
5929s	let's go cobalt protocol will be a four
5932s	on four battle arena type mode and i
5934s	know this part was controversial but yes
5937s	the game is random pick but it's not
5939s	totally random it's a semi-random pick
5942s	style i'll try and explain this
5944s	upon game start all players will be
5946s	assigned one character but can also
5948s	choose a character from the shared
5950s	character pool in the middle
5951s	meaning you can swap out characters with
5953s	your current one
5954s	with your with your other teammates so
5956s	basically you will be gaining access to
5958s	eight characters per team
5960s	so this will be happening in the first
5962s	round but there's also another catch
5965s	there's a second part of the picking
5967s	phase
5968s	the
5969s	the selection pool you see here now in
5971s	the section in the second part will be
5973s	replaced with your opponent's team's
5976s	pool
5977s	that means you will be get you'll be
5979s	gaining four new new characters to
5981s	access from
5982s	from your opponent
5984s	so basically you'll be gaining access to
5986s	12 characters in total which is almost
5988s	one-fifth of the entire roster which
5989s	gives you a lot of actually a lot of
5992s	choosing points
5994s	so when you choose your characters not
5996s	only do you want to choose the ones you
5998s	want you also need to think about what
6000s	you don't want to give away to your
6001s	opponent team
6003s	so and you also get to choose from a
6004s	pretty large pool so you have more
6006s	control on what you want to for the
6008s	argument section you can see here you
6011s	can't really pick the sub-arguments you
6013s	can you rather pick a
6015s	core augment from one of these and for
6017s	cycle opponents there are special stuff
6019s	called infusions
6021s	that can also be purchased in game and
6022s	let's look at those two
6025s	let's go
6026s	so for items as you know there is no
6028s	crafting in cobalt protocol and instead
6031s	you go through a draft and get to choose
6033s	from three options from each of the
6035s	slots if you see here there's two two
6038s	items and one random slot
6040s	so
6041s	basically you can choose from one of
6043s	these two options or you can choose the
6045s	random item if you chew if you do not
6047s	want either of the two options choosing
6049s	the random option will also give you
6051s	additional credits so that will be able
6054s	to use for more infusions
6056s	infusions will say will serve as kind of
6058s	a sub augments but they are much more
6060s	powerful than sub augments they're
6062s	really variable
6063s	in in effects there's stuff that knocks
6065s	back your opponent their stop there's
6067s	stuff that increases your movement speed
6070s	airborne all that other stuff and you'll
6071s	all get to see that when cobalt protocol
6073s	comes out
6077s	okay here's a quick top-down view of the
6080s	map it looks kind of empty now but this
6082s	is because there aren't the objectives
6085s	spawned yet so when you move into game
6087s	it will look more sleeker and more slick
6090s	and
6091s	a more lavatory themed style rather than
6094s	lumia island which is post-op
6096s	apocalyptic
6098s	map size the map size is about the same
6101s	size as archery range and school put
6104s	together when the game starts the lab
6106s	will be will be divided into two parts
6108s	so it will basically be a two on two
6110s	mode for phase one so two players two
6112s	players two players to players there
6114s	will be a two on two mode for phase one
6116s	this one between cannot be crossed by
6118s	any means so phase one will definitely
6122s	uh yeah you'll definitely need to fight
6124s	the opponent team and you cannot meet up
6125s	with your other teammates
6128s	phase one will be about capturing the
6130s	amp device between the two teams this
6132s	device will grant points along with a
6135s	combat buff since this buff is also
6137s	provided to your teammates across the
6139s	map you can help each other by getting
6141s	this device if you want to see it on the
6143s	map the amp device will be here in the
6145s	middle of phase in the middle of phase
6147s	one maps
6149s	so you'll be able to fight two on two
6152s	basically contesting this objective
6155s	there's also going to be a team turret
6157s	at the corner of each map this will be
6160s	serving as the team's resting spot you
6162s	reach an hp and sp while also getting
6165s	protection by your turret and sitting
6167s	under your turret however sitting under
6169s	your turret does not grant you any
6170s	points so you're going to have to go out
6173s	and fight if you want to win if you see
6175s	here uh your turrets will be on each
6177s	corner so these will be your resting
6179s	spots for each cord as well and we'll
6181s	have each turrets
6184s	heel packs are also scattered around the
6186s	map so you can get those when you're in
6187s	a pinch so as you can see in this clip
6190s	here you'll be oh sorry you'll be
6192s	fighting over this small objective here
6194s	on two on two
6198s	okay see here okay now here's a special
6201s	look at the amp device the device is
6203s	called residence amplification turbine
6206s	but we'll call them amp device for short
6208s	there are three total on the map the
6210s	third one being locked off in the middle
6212s	for
6213s	oh it's rat it's actually rat that
6216s	that's brilliant we'll call it rat
6218s	okay so there's gonna be three rats on
6221s	the map if you see here
6223s	one rat here one right here and one in
6225s	the middle
6227s	so yeah you'll basically have to rat jam
6230s	rat jam to get these objectives and win
6233s	okay
6235s	now we move on to phase two
6237s	now that the now that the wall in the
6239s	middle has been lifted you will now be
6241s	able to meet your other teammates this
6243s	will make the two on two mode into a
6245s	four on four mode and you'll be also be
6247s	contesting the third a third rat as well
6250s	in the middle so
6252s	in phase two you'll be contesting all of
6254s	these three objectives with your team
6255s	four and four
6257s	and you can either do this or try and go
6260s	farm other objectives bigger objectives
6262s	like androids which will be boss boss
6264s	androids which will give you much more
6266s	other points
6267s	than just taking care of the
6270s	rats
6274s	also
6275s	as we reach phase three and four when
6277s	phase two ends a powerful android called
6280s	calls gamma takes the stage just by
6282s	looking at it you can fear it you can
6284s	feel its sheer power
6287s	with the start of phase three you will
6288s	no longer gain points and your current
6290s	points will become your team's hp so
6293s	basically all of your points that you
6294s	have gathered throughout phase one and
6296s	phase two will be your final team's hp
6299s	so from now on your your goal now is to
6301s	deplete your enemy of points this can be
6303s	done by taking objectives killing your
6305s	opponents or taking gamma gamma will
6308s	actually give a pretty significant point
6310s	reduction so it's definitely the
6312s	objective to look out for and whichever
6315s	team reaches zero loses it's pretty
6317s	simple enough so you take control rats
6319s	you go after objectives you kill
6321s	opponents
6323s	one team reaches zero you win
6325s	this can be yeah
6327s	if no other team reaches zero before
6329s	three before phase three ends the game
6331s	will enter a sudden death mode called
6333s	phase four and whichever whichever team
6336s	gets the golden kill the first kill
6337s	during phase four will automatically win
6339s	the game it's kind of a overtime
6341s	mechanic
6344s	okay and here is our briefing room our
6347s	briefing room is basically your
6349s	headquarters for your team when you die
6351s	when you die you will be returned here
6353s	you will be granted a you will be
6355s	granted the
6356s	option to gain a small shield boost on
6359s	your next combat or also be able to gain
6361s	infusions while you're dead
6364s	here's a more detailed look of the
6365s	briefing room
6369s	and okay
6370s	and here's a quick picture of the
6373s	hyperloop system when you're inside the
6375s	briefing room you'll be you'll be able
6376s	to deploy loops into basically one of
6379s	your turrets one of your ally turrets so
6382s	as you can see here there's this blue
6383s	circle here you'll be able to hyperloop
6385s	here upon dying and returning to the
6387s	briefing room
6389s	this one is a special look at our
6391s	infusion shop
6393s	it's actually not a shop but we call it
6394s	shop it's more of a high tech thingy
6396s	magic but yeah we'll call it infusion
6399s	shop for now this can be used to
6401s	purchase infusions and also item
6404s	upgrades like force core upgrades to
6407s	greatly improve your
6409s	combat in the later stages of the game
6412s	vending machine yes 3d printer yes
6417s	here's some other small features in
6419s	cobalt protocol we got small drones
6421s	which gives you credits and also
6424s	along with credits of the animals on
6426s	on cobalt protocol will be mutants so
6429s	they will also be giving you uh xp and
6431s	heel packs too
6432s	we also got future holo futuristic
6435s	holograms into the bushes because it's
6436s	kind of weird to have bushes and
6438s	lavatories so yeah we'll be having these
6441s	vision blocking holographic
6444s	holograms instead
6446s	and this one this one's pretty fun uh
6448s	this one are jump pads and you'll be
6451s	able to use this to be launched onto
6454s	other other locations of the map it's
6456s	similar it works mostly like pork chop
6459s	but there's a catch to this jump pad too
6461s	when you ride this jump pad it means
6463s	that all of the other
6465s	other test objects or stuff on the jump
6468s	pad can be moved too so if you're on the
6470s	jump pad where you're with another enemy
6473s	the jump pad will launch both you and
6475s	your enemy to the other location so it
6478s	will it can kind of create some awkward
6480s	spots when you're launched together
6483s	it's a blast cone yes uh i guess you can
6485s	say that but this one's always going to
6487s	be there so it's like a semi-blast cone
6490s	yeah
6493s	okay we also have two exclusive cobalt
6496s	active item effects the one in the clip
6499s	will be showing you one
6501s	this will provide a small movement speed
6503s	boost and will deal damage to the first
6505s	enemy hit
6508s	and i think that's it with cobalt
6510s	protocol i hope you guys all enjoy cobo
6512s	pro call because like this one took a
6514s	lot of work
6515s	and a death match mode was really one
6518s	that a lot of people wanted so we hoped
6520s	that we would be able to make up to your
6522s	expectations for this mode the delay was
6524s	also to
6526s	like try to put to give you guys the
6528s	best product possible and we'll try and
6530s	do try and do that with this too
6533s	i'm sorry i'm getting tired my voice is
6536s	dying
6539s	okay now this will be our final maybe
6542s	topic of our devstream it's gonna be our
6545s	features for season seven and after
6549s	we got the escape
6551s	mechanic so one of our biggest systems
6554s	in season seven that we're hoping to
6555s	aiming for is the escape mechanic
6558s	this is kind of different from the
6560s	hacking mechanic that everyone wants to
6562s	see
6563s	eternal return is a battle royale so
6566s	basically one one player wins the whole
6568s	game
6569s	and even though we
6571s	we add other features this is not gonna
6573s	change in a battle royale so there's
6576s	kind so there's situations where you're
6578s	too far behind and you think that you
6580s	can't win so basically your only option
6583s	is to third party or rat
6585s	to alleviate this we're gonna be trying
6588s	to add the escape option so
6591s	basically
6592s	players will be able to craft a
6594s	specific item and use it to escape lumia
6598s	island and with the escape lumia island
6600s	they will end the game on an escape and
6604s	they will not gain any points from the
6606s	game
6607s	however they will also no they will uh
6610s	no i'm sorry they will gain points but
6612s	they will gain less points than they
6613s	have gained when they won
6616s	but since there will be no minus points
6618s	when when you weren't suppose when you
6620s	were supposed to lose points it could be
6623s	a saving grace mechanic rather than a
6625s	point gaining mechanic
6628s	no it's the rage mechanic
6631s	uh we'll see how it turns out it's still
6632s	in early in early development so we'll
6635s	see how it works out we'll try and see
6637s	how it work how it how it goes and yeah
6641s	all of this stuff that's presented in
6643s	this part is still really under
6644s	development so we're trying to plan it
6646s	out
6648s	okay
6649s	we hope that this yeah so the main
6651s	reason for this one is we want to try
6653s	and reduce third partying so we'll see
6654s	how it goes
6658s	okay now that we got through with
6660s	escaping let's move on to hacking
6662s	hacking is
6664s	i think one of the most requested
6666s	mechanics in the whole game and but like
6668s	hacking still has its dilemmas
6671s	hacking
6672s	is hard basically it's a non-combat
6677s	playstyle and you run around the map
6680s	getting items to win the game so
6683s	basically it's winning with riding and
6685s	although it can be fun
6687s	it may not be fun to
6690s	fight against
6692s	so it's really hard for us to kind of
6694s	plan on how on this is work because
6697s	we'll probably have to make a small game
6700s	inside our already existing game
6702s	but since we have a lot of new new
6704s	features stemming from cobalt protocols
6707s	such as the gamma bot and the other
6709s	object is from maybe the upcoming escape
6712s	we'll see if that can be added to our
6715s	hacking improvements
6717s	oh and i forgot to mention this
6719s	there's quite a lot of speculation of
6721s	our yet to be released characters i was
6724s	going to mention this with the skins but
6726s	there's two characters that haven't been
6728s	released yet they are arda and jp
6731s	we have not forgotten about these
6733s	characters and they will be coming to
6735s	the game in the future so yes arden gp
6738s	is alive yes
6740s	however rosalio we do not have plans to
6743s	add rosalio to eternal return as for now
6750s	lore
6751s	now scenario i know that a lot of people
6754s	want lore in eternal return because it's
6758s	because we had a really interesting lor
6760s	we had a lot of interesting lore in our
6762s	other game
6763s	and
6765s	and people want that in our game too
6768s	uh
6769s	although we won't be able to bring the
6771s	scenario exactly from our from the
6773s	previous game we did set up a another
6776s	special scenario team and we will be
6779s	rebuilding the previous
6781s	previous world so we will basically be
6784s	starting from uh starting from scratch
6786s	with world building and we'll be we'll
6788s	be providing you with a rebooted
6790s	scenario uh this may seem kind of
6793s	worrying for our original fans and there
6796s	were a lot of other uh examples of
6799s	reboots failing but since we have our
6802s	new scenario team
6803s	we're
6804s	like we can't really
6806s	it's a stuff that we just can't get
6808s	around and we'll try and make it as up
6811s	to par as up to your expectations
6816s	and yeah these scenarios we'll keep
6819s	working on them it will be reaching uh
6822s	eternal return and maybe season seven
6824s	maybe season eight we'll see but yeah
6826s	we're still we're we will be still
6828s	working on this
6831s	also it's not going to change the game
6833s	from scratch starting from tomorrow
6835s	since we'll have to plan these and since
6837s	making a single character costs like
6839s	seven to eight months this can also be
6842s	very costly in time so we'll see how it
6845s	happens but it's something that everyone
6847s	asked us what are we going to do about
6849s	scenario lore but let's just say we're
6851s	working on it we know that it's an issue
6854s	and we know that it's something that our
6855s	community wants and we are having a eye
6858s	on it
6862s	okay now here are some images that are
6864s	still in development these have no
6867s	no confirmed date for release but these
6870s	are some concept arts that we want to
6871s	show you off for
6874s	let's show you off first this one is the
6875s	briefing room
6876s	which will be shown at the start of the
6878s	game which will
6880s	be more
6881s	it will give you more of the feel of
6883s	actually being inside our cool lumia
6885s	island
6886s	but you know like this doesn't really
6888s	affect our gameplay a lot so it's
6890s	keeping pushed we'll see when we'll
6893s	release it and we'll try and maybe
6895s	you'll see the light update maybe not
6896s	but we'll see how it goes
6900s	the research center in the middle of the
6901s	map that one's still under development
6904s	we also want to see how it goes we don't
6906s	have anything planned for now but since
6908s	we're having the updates to our lore our
6911s	new systems from cobalt protocol
6913s	i guess we can come up with some
6914s	interesting ways to utilize the research
6916s	center as well
6919s	also this one this one's kind of fun uh
6922s	i heard some of the people got the
6924s	pleasure in seeing this in the pax build
6926s	but there are some special features like
6929s	yuki using his alt and
6931s	flower petals floating around this will
6933s	be only be shown to the player and him
6937s	or herself but like
6939s	this although it's not being shown to
6940s	other players this can give you the feel
6943s	of actually using a powerful powerful
6945s	mechanic so
6947s	this may be reaching us soon or maybe
6950s	not we'll see too
6955s	also this is the last one we got the
6957s	victory screen this is also in
6959s	development we know that our character
6961s	models are super cool and we always want
6965s	a cool way of showing that off we have
6967s	our shorts on youtube we always post
6970s	stuff on our twitter and we always want
6972s	to show off our characters so having a
6973s	victory cool victory screen like this
6976s	will also be very cool in the future but
6978s	as
6979s	as you know it's still under development
6981s	and it's still implanting we'll see how
6982s	it goes
6984s	okay
6985s	that's everything prepared for our dev
6988s	stream today
6992s	uh for our dev stream today uh now we'll
6995s	move on to our q a section i'm really
6998s	sorry for the voice cracks and
7001s	uh not that good talking it was my first
7004s	broadcast but thank you all for sticking
7006s	here and listening to me and now we will
7008s	have
7009s	me and wolf one answering questions
7012s	so why don't you ask away
7019s	[Music]
7024s	where's my windy announcement pack in
7026s	season seven the director's listing so i
7029s	hope i get my announcement back
7030s	do you want
7032s	do you want yes yes
7035s	okay we're getting when the announcement
7037s	pack in season seven it's confirmed by
7038s	wolf one
7040s	[Music]
7043s	okay let's see
7047s	any questions
7052s	i'm sorry uh when can we expect new uh
7057s	news on marcus
7063s	when can we expect news on marcus since
7066s	he's he's going to be released later in
7068s	the month
7085s	we'll be able to see marcus's skill as
7087s	like the same as before it will be like
7089s	one or two weeks earlier to his release
7091s	so let's do it
7093s	uh when will eternal return manga come
7096s	come out into my local barnes and nobles
7098s	uh i'm writing my eternal return fanfic
7101s	so it will be reaching your bookstore
7103s	soon
7106s	how many credits do you start with
7110s	oh man
7123s	so for credits you'll start with zero
7125s	but as you move on through building your
7127s	first save plans you will get enough
7128s	credits to get your white one or two
7131s	white materials the prices aren't really
7133s	set yet so you'll get to see that when
7135s	the patch hits
7143s	[Music]
7147s	i'm sorry this is my first time so i
7149s	can't really read
7152s	[Music]
7153s	any plans for reworks for old
7168s	um
7178s	[Music]
7192s	so we are trying to stop on
7194s	changing a whole character's kit because
7196s	sometimes it feels like when we rework
7199s	the whole character it doesn't feel
7201s	the same as the old character so it
7203s	basically becomes a new character so
7205s	we're trying to stop on that for now but
7208s	we will try and improve one or two
7210s	skills in the character's kit to improve
7212s	it rather than change it completely
7220s	sorry
7226s	can you get more things to use acorns
7229s	outside of characters
7239s	new
7252s	[Music]
7264s	[Music]
7278s	[Music]
7280s	so currently in our development pipeline
7282s	uh it's kind of hard to put in more
7285s	places to use acorns and also there's a
7288s	big difference between our new players
7290s	having two less acoins to buy characters
7293s	while our original players have a lot of
7295s	acorns that they do not know where to
7297s	use
7298s	although it's we'll still have to look
7300s	into it we are
7301s	maybe we'll try and plan a acorn random
7304s	box system and include uh
7307s	emotes from the past like we are doing
7310s	with ep with the new ep tokens for the
7312s	er pass we'll try and do stuff like that
7314s	in the future and we'll see how it goes
7320s	[Music]
7323s	can we get more augment slots
7335s	uh augment slots usually
7337s	it requires some changes to our server
7340s	but it's being done so we expect to get
7342s	more augment slots in season six
7355s	are there any plans to advertise
7358s	advertise the game more uh actually we
7361s	are trying to reach our english
7363s	community english-speaking communities
7365s	more as you can see we're having new
7367s	tournaments we recently went to pax east
7370s	to meet our new players there as well
7372s	and we believe that our partnership with
7374s	genji would help us reach a large
7376s	audience of game loving people so we
7378s	hope that that will be able to uh get
7381s	more of our
7382s	more of our fellow players to get to
7385s	play eternal return too
7388s	and yeah i hope that will happen season
7390s	end cup coming this week finals on nimbo
7392s	neuron channel
7398s	did you have plans to add more weapons
7400s	to existing characters
7422s	[Music]
7430s	[Music]
7432s	okay so the answer is yes we are trying
7434s	to plan to get to add more weapons to
7436s	existing characters it was uh previously
7439s	very hard for us to do it since we
7440s	weren't able to
7442s	individually tweak the
7444s	weapon mastery for each character but
7446s	since now that's in we will try and to
7448s	consider that more but it does require a
7451s	lot of
7452s	testing
7454s	planning and maybe balance testing so we
7457s	expect it to be late season six or maybe
7459s	season seven as well
7462s	animation
7468s	[Music]
7469s	i'm sorry cross that out it's mostly
7471s	because of our animation and art process
7473s	so that's as you saw in our powerpoint
7476s	that takes a lot of time so yeah
7478s	maybe season six end or season seven
7481s	we'll see
7504s	will there be more servers for eternal
7506s	return
7510s	more subtle means
7511s	hk or
7513s	yes area
7515s	yeah we we hope so we if uh
7526s	[Music]
7536s	[Music]
7541s	the issue is that it's really hard for
7543s	us now but uh we hope that we'll be able
7546s	to increase more servers and and on the
7548s	upside like since we have new mechanics
7551s	that will help new players such as the
7553s	cobalt protocol which will help players
7555s	more get into will help new players get
7558s	more into
7559s	uh eternal return as a whole maybe we
7562s	will be if we get the enough audience
7564s	that we want to we will be able to
7566s	expand our branches to future other
7568s	servers as well
7575s	okay i'll answer this one how does nn
7577s	take advice from non-career feedback the
7580s	stuff is that we do we like we
7582s	definitely look at feedback from
7585s	all of our other other english-speaking
7586s	regions other other language-speaking
7588s	regions it's just that you know that
7590s	we're a korean company and we it's very
7593s	hard for us to like exactly
7595s	get all of this feedback to the people
7597s	they need it takes a lot of time for us
7598s	to do that but we're surely and we
7601s	surely want to do that like stuff like
7603s	the matchmaking changes and stuff like
7605s	these were communicated a very long time
7607s	and as you can see from our development
7609s	pipeline even though they have been
7611s	communicated internally it may take a
7614s	lot of time for them to actually be
7617s	shown to the day of light
7619s	to our english-speaking region so the
7622s	short answer is yes we are looking at
7624s	all of your feedback we want to improve
7625s	it we want to make matchmaking better we
7627s	want to make everything better for you
7629s	also we're not just focusing on korea
7631s	and we'll
7635s	[Music]
7644s	okay
7645s	[Music]
7653s	[Music]
7659s	[Music]
7662s	is also here to try and get more more
7666s	feedback from our english speaking
7668s	regions and we hope that we can start to
7670s	get more feedback
7672s	and improve our process and maybe our uh
7674s	different ties you know i know that a
7676s	lot of people are like kind of worried
7679s	about our kr devs not caring about
7680s	english region communities but i believe
7682s	that this could be a new start for us
7684s	and we can make it happen
7698s	are you planning to make joanne
7699s	priyadina by evolving solos although it
7704s	it really pains us but you know like as
7706s	we said we're looking into more options
7708s	for characters we're trying to to
7710s	increase the character diversity and
7713s	although we will keep an eye on those uh
7716s	we'll see how it goes
7725s	you said that earlier rooms
7727s	okay for normal games would this mean
7729s	that there will be three bots taking up
7731s	of these spots if cues take too long
7733s	i've also noticed that there are a lot
7736s	of bots in our
7738s	english-speaking regions games and that
7740s	they're actually creating more bad
7742s	than good so that's also being discussed
7745s	internally and we will try and see how
7747s	we can change that whether it be
7749s	removing bots from like your matchmaking
7752s	and just starting with lesser people or
7754s	other other improvements that we can
7756s	make regarding that that's also on our
7758s	radar too
7761s	how is the new ui
7763s	redesign going i hope it goes well
7777s	will project will cobalt protocol have a
7780s	normal selection mode in the future
7784s	or
7786s	maniac
7788s	[Music]
7805s	[Music]
7823s	[Music]
7825s	so yeah we may be
7827s	maybe adding a normal peg to custom
7830s	modes but we currently as we see cobalt
7832s	protocol right now if we think about the
7834s	replay replayability about cobalt
7837s	protocol and all the other elements that
7840s	goes into game play we do believe that
7842s	the semi-random pick is the most
7844s	suitable way for us now
7846s	we'll try and see how it goes and we'll
7848s	try and get our feedback on that but
7849s	yeah our current plan is
7852s	maybe in customs not sure for just
7855s	normal matchmaking
7860s	low spec mode when as we said in the
7862s	optimization part we will be trying to
7865s	include advanced options for
7868s	eternal return and we and we hope that
7870s	that would help as well
7872s	is there plans to standardize
7874s	standardize a mode to focus the player
7876s	base also as we said before we are going
7880s	to be focusing on all three modes all
7881s	three modes have different
7882s	characteristic characteristics at this
7885s	point
7886s	so we'll in season six we'll try and see
7888s	how we can balance our resources
7891s	throughout the stream modes we'll see
7892s	how it goes
7894s	and maybe we can give an update on that
7895s	on our season seven deaf stream i've
7898s	seen six step stream
7906s	okay i'll take two more questions and we
7909s	can end
7920s	i'm sorry
7935s	will there be updates to the tutorial
7937s	regarding these new features
7940s	[Music]
7952s	um
7964s	[Music]
7975s	[Music]
7979s	um
7981s	[Music]
7989s	so basically if a tutorial becomes too
7992s	long
7993s	players may drop out in the middle of
7995s	the tutorial so we don't want to make
7997s	the tutorial too long
8000s	so
8000s	currently we'll try and use other
8003s	methods such as like we have our
8004s	beginner guides from our
8006s	from our lovely er partners and
8009s	our partners and creators we will try
8011s	and utilize homepage tips as well so
8014s	we'll try and work our ways to provide
8016s	more information
8018s	to our new players as well the tutorial
8021s	we'll see what we can do
8023s	making the tutorial longer doesn't seem
8024s	like the case for now but yeah well it's
8028s	always on our radar so we'll look on it
8029s	to it
8031s	okay last question boys
8039s	can we have a system to see how many
8041s	people are queuing up yes the system is
8043s	being prepared as said previously uh we
8046s	don't know when exactly it will hit uh
8048s	hit live but yes that is already
8051s	inside
8053s	that is already being developed
8056s	when will highlighting loot
8057s	distributions come back
8090s	foreign
8100s	with the increase of the material patch
8102s	with the increase of materials patch and
8104s	with the addition of our new transfer
8106s	drones we believe that it became much
8109s	more easier to farm up for new players
8110s	as well and
8112s	the the blinking part for the
8115s	or the loot distribution also caused a
8117s	lot of optimization issues for our game
8120s	you may remember it causing a kind of
8122s	game breaking bug when it was first
8123s	introduced so it would require us a lot
8126s	of resources to put in but at the same
8128s	time we believe that the early phase as
8130s	you said phase
8132s	our early phase of the game has become
8133s	much more easier
8134s	so
8135s	uh yeah we'll try and see how transfer
8137s	drones go and
8139s	if the feedback is good maybe we can
8141s	keep it like this
8142s	yes
8145s	okay i think
8146s	i'm sorry to cut off here but i think
8148s	that's all of our time for today
