74s	hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to an
76s	official Rockfish game stream where I am
78s	your host Eric shraer my voice is
80s	cracking a lot because my vocal cords
83s	have uh kind of been run dry um so don't
86s	worry about that I'm fine I'm healthy
88s	everything is good so right before the
91s	stream started I just want to let you
93s	know there was a Discord
95s	outage cool that's fun um so Gary's uh
100s	comms and his camera are not available
103s	at this time but he's present in the
105s	chat dang it and that means something so
108s	he are is going to be cataloging those
109s	questions from you as we navigate a very
112s	full day of content today as we're
114s	looking at this foggy image oh my gosh
117s	um and uh so we're going to just kick
120s	things off right out of the gate uh with
122s	an incursion okay cuz that's that's why
125s	you're here that is why we are up in
127s	this so let's just let's just do it so
130s	here I have a predator um ship that I've
134s	kind of like kind of designed for this
137s	uh and I don't really know if it's going
139s	to do it complete Justice I did a couple
142s	of testing with various incursions but
144s	um what I'm going to do is I'm going to
145s	show you what how the incursions kind of
147s	generate and then talk about them
149s	further let's see if I can find one that
154s	okay so we're over in zarov
156s	excellent so incursions will populate on
159s	the map at varying intervals um and
162s	there will be multiple um threat levels
166s	associated with them so what we have
167s	here is actually an extreme threat uh
170s	which we have two extreme threats we
173s	have okay here we have some just High
175s	threats maybe we want to go over here to
177s	start things off or we could just like
179s	punish our ourselves that's also fine um
183s	and each one of the different threat
185s	levels is going to change the difficulty
188s	of that incursion itself the number of
191s	those incursion sort of beacons that are
193s	present there um is going to change
195s	based on that threat level and the
197s	rewards are also going to be uh
199s	compensating if you're diving into those
201s	higher threat levels versus the the
203s	lower ones so there's a bit of a mixture
206s	in there and I'm sure that there's going
207s	to be a lot of individuals already
209s	asking about well how does that play an
212s	effect on the difficulty that I've
214s	selected you know cuz we know that riffs
216s	and their lunacy doesn't care what
218s	difficulty you've selected so how does
220s	that play a part in here and I think
221s	that's a fantastic question that you're
222s	all thinking of right now so as an easy
226s	demonstration I am going to be operating
228s	out of normal difficulty you can see
230s	right right below here okay right below
233s	here I'm in completely normal difficulty
237s	and we are going to have our hand at
239s	seeing uh
241s	just how difficult this truly
245s	is and you can gauge for yourself if uh
247s	you think things
249s	are fair or not I
253s	suppose but we have spent a health a
256s	healthy amount of time distinguishing
259s	where the difficulty needs to be on all
263s	accounts not just the endgame but also
267s	for a lot of the challenges that are
269s	currently in the game
271s	so let me just speak towards this right
272s	now we have actually tweaked um the
276s	nightmare difficulty
278s	curve so come
281s	Monday if you were to start a new game
283s	for example and you know how there's
284s	that really difficult uh space whenever
288s	you get to um like on level 10 11 right
291s	it like gets crazy difficult and then it
293s	starts like to fall off again when you
294s	get like level 15 16 whatever yeah we
297s	change that
300s	now the difficulty is more incremental
302s	from start to
305s	finish and when you're playing a
307s	nightmare even around level 25 level 26
309s	level 27 like when I was streaming two
313s	weeks ago that difficulty has
316s	significantly ramped up no I am not
318s	using that as an excuse for the number
319s	of deaths I
322s	had but I'm just letting you
328s	know and that is one of
330s	many
333s	changes so let's look at an
342s	incursion I'm also going to adjust the
345s	sounds a little bit just to bring it uh
348s	to fruition a little bit more
361s	all
365s	right
367s	only so as you can directly see we have
370s	added more chatter between Adam and Hive
373s	because of course why wouldn't
377s	we and here we go starting an incursion
388s	event I'm trying and focus on drones
391s	first be a little bit smart about
400s	this now there's a lot going on
403s	especially as I have my ALT
405s	here but as you can see those little
407s	purple
411s	particles whenever we are getting a
414s	kill an enemy will actually discharge
417s	those little purple pieces
422s	and it goes towards a beacon like this
424s	and when it hits it slowly disrupts the
428s	shields of that
435s	Beacon and once the shields are down you
437s	can destroy
439s	it and you move on to the next
444s	one now again we are playing on
447s	normal difficulty right now but this is
449s	also so the highest threat you can find
453s	for an
455s	incursion so this should give you a
457s	pretty good sense of how the balancing
460s	is playing its part
462s	here and I am seeing the stream is doing
465s	a a little bit of stuttering cuz again
467s	there is a lot going on here oh goodness
469s	of course I start talking and everything
471s	falls
478s	apart and in these events you're mostly
480s	not by yourself like you can see that
483s	these Outsiders if you will are
487s	attacking the sights within the location
490s	the incursion uh takes place
511s	so there's very much like a joint effort
513s	in these sites for fighting back
517s	whatever the heck is going on here
545s	are we going to get it I don't know if
546s	we
549s	are ah this is a good time to show how
551s	the shields will come back up if you
552s	don't get the
557s	kill a little unfortunate cuz it's just
559s	a hair of Health you can actually see
562s	that Health too um which is just
564s	underneath the
568s	Shields and the upper right Corner above
570s	my
588s	head we have access to the beacon
600s	all
602s	right so you can see here after you've
605s	destroyed the final
607s	Beacon there's a ton of loot that drops
611s	and of course we also have this little
613s	thing called a reliquary so let's go
615s	ahead and pick up all of this
619s	stuff and
620s	also all of those little ships and
624s	whatnot that were fighting us you'll see
625s	that they go completely
627s	limp after the incursion itself self is
632s	stopped if we can get one to happen if
635s	we can get one that's Planet Side those
637s	are my favorite incursions because when
638s	you destroy the last Crystal uh all the
641s	ships will actually just fall down and
643s	RAM into the planet itself it's so cool
645s	looking I really like
646s	it I really like it so um that is the
650s	Baseline of a I'm going to call it a
653s	standard incursion there and now what
656s	we're going to do is we're going to head
657s	to um probably Prescott I want to
661s	specifically go to Prescott because that
662s	can Loop into a couple other things that
664s	we want to share and talk about because
666s	there's many because there's
670s	many so that's the pathway we're going
672s	to progress
679s	here some nice views I would
683s	say which if you guys have been paying
685s	attention to the streams you've probably
687s	already recognized this
690s	there was an individual over on Discord
694s	uh not Discord excuse me on the steam
695s	forums who was talking about how they
697s	felt like the cockpits were just
698s	slightly
702s	unfinished it's like I guess that's fair
704s	criticism so you know what we did we
706s	added a lot
710s	more so you can see here the buttons are
713s	no longer
715s	like isometrically mirrored
719s	these are all unique buttons
722s	now everything's been cleaned up just
724s	Tad more but also this literally a new
727s	canopy in
733s	here because now when you are unlocking
736s	ship
737s	modules
739s	canopies are now something else you can
743s	obtain so let's go over to Prescott
757s	that cockpit looks very good now glad to
759s	hear it I mean truth be told we were
762s	very happy with the cockpits beforehand
764s	yeah you could say that there were a
766s	couple minor issues with it and whatever
768s	that's fine that's that's good criticism
770s	we appreciate
772s	that um I don't know how many of you
775s	know this but you can go back to some of
779s	our
781s	Vlogs before Early Access even started
786s	okay and you can find our desires to
789s	actually have unique canopy designs in
792s	everspace 2 now there were a lot of
796s	shifts in development for everspace 2
799s	and we had to remove that from the
801s	development plate of other things that
804s	needed to happen and we are incredibly
806s	thrilled with that direction but we are
808s	more thrilled that even though we didn't
811s	technically have to go back this route
812s	and do it we did and again this is
815s	completely free content where you have
817s	unique canopies for not just of course
820s	the medium ships but also for the light
825s	ships and also of course for the heavy
830s	ships and in addition to canopies you'll
832s	also see that there might be a couple
834s	new parts that you're seeing
838s	here because it's not just the
842s	front it's also the
846s	bodies we'll go up to the uh small guys
849s	here
851s	next there's a not a lot of new little
854s	modules that we've snuck in for your
857s	pleasure for your
859s	customization along the way I I'm I'm a
862s	big fan of that one actually that's just
864s	that's
866s	Sleek of how you can continue stylizing
870s	your ship to the points of making it
873s	your
876s	own so there will be a handful of new
881s	engines the back sides the bodies which
884s	is kind of this main area here and then
888s	canopies for the light ships and the
890s	heavy ships primarily but as you could
894s	see in our own ship here excuse me right
896s	uh here the medium ships also do have
900s	access to those new canopies as
902s	well all of this being
905s	added is enabling like multiplicatively
909s	thousands upon thousands upon thousands
911s	of new combinations of course you
914s	know uh but yeah we are incredibly
917s	pleased with the direction that you'll
919s	be able to take this um from here I am
922s	going to show you just directly on the
924s	medium ship how many cockpits there are
926s	because I can but it's added right here
929s	and we've got the type one which is the
931s	classic we got the type two which I just
933s	showed you we also have this type three
935s	which I can uh we'll just change over to
938s	that and I'll show you that visually
940s	right now and the cockpits are
943s	distinctly different from the lights to
945s	the mediums to the Heavies just like the
946s	engines are just like the wings are just
948s	like the the uh the bodies all that
951s	stuff so you have all that fun new
954s	access
957s	accordingly so
960s	let's now since I was kind of like an
962s	aside honestly cuz our main focus is now
965s	returning to this reliquary thing that
967s	we picked up what is a reliquary let's
970s	discuss
971s	this let's discuss this so reliquaries
975s	in this case a radiant one too oh man
977s	lots lots to discuss this is a
982s	unique
983s	container that you will have to open by
987s	either spending a large sum of of Tears
989s	of the Mad Or by completing a rift at
993s	the required lunacy level on there or
996s	higher okay there's a bonus to make it a
1000s	little bit easier to acquire a reliquary
1004s	like
1005s	this if you look down below we now have
1007s	these
1008s	blessings what blessings will
1011s	do is they will
1014s	inject a sort of counter mutator through
1018s	a rift run
1020s	so generally speaking when you're doing
1021s	a rift you get these modifiers that are
1023s	against you making things harder the
1025s	further you go in right these blessings
1028s	are B Boons that will apply through the
1032s	course of that Rift run to unlock a
1036s	legendary cargo unit specifically here
1039s	so it's only going to be a legendary
1040s	cargo unit but it's also going to be a
1045s	uh ra radiant legendary once that
1048s	unlocks
1050s	radiant for those who did not read our
1052s	recent articles about what that means
1055s	Radiance are effectively a way to now
1057s	enhance your legendary stuff even
1060s	further unlocking more
1063s	potential for greater damage or number
1066s	of targets that can be affected or
1069s	through an amalgamation of randomizing
1072s	your attributes so many different bounds
1075s	can come from the radiant tag it is not
1078s	just a mere stat bump it's actually a
1082s	way to refine and to further uh even a
1086s	particular build in some cases for your
1089s	legendary equipment so let's go ahead
1093s	and let's try to uh unlock this okay I
1096s	think that's the next thing we should do
1097s	let's try to go ahead and do a rift and
1099s	talk about Rifts too since uh you know I
1102s	think
1103s	that you all know we've been working on
1106s	Rifts
1110s	so it's time to start talking about and
1112s	showing why they are exactly different
1115s	at
1116s	all we're going to keep Precision
1119s	here just tossing out a bunch of stuff
1122s	that I could probably spend more time on
1124s	but I don't want to cuz I want to show
1126s	you new
1134s	stuff all right
1145s	so let's head on over to the spatial
1147s	bypass
1149s	here here's this other canopy by the way
1152s	I'm a big fan of this one honestly
1155s	really big fan of
1160s	it I like how open it
1165s	is it's nice all right so let's go ahead
1168s	and create an ancient
1170s	Rift okay so there's a little bit to
1173s	talk about on this front too so many
1175s	things so many things so to
1181s	start you've seen me tease this kind of
1184s	and we've teased it in screenshots I'm
1186s	not necessarily sure if we effectively
1188s	spoke about this yet but the lunacy
1190s	level is now doubled it is literally
1194s	doubled okay
1199s	that means lots more adjustments to loot
1202s	quality enemy hit points enemy damage
1205s	all that type of stuff we've done a
1206s	healthy bit of testing and basically if
1208s	you complete lunacy 2000 um it's dang
1212s	near guaranteed of All Star forged uh
1216s	Superior drops and you know obviously a
1219s	legendary and maybe even more than
1221s	that so you don't have to plug in a relo
1225s	quary but if you do let me show you what
1228s	we have I have a bunch of Relic quaries
1230s	here just to kind of show you a variety
1232s	of them let me move my face so you can
1234s	see them
1236s	better so I have this one we gathered
1238s	earlier um this has a required lunacy of
1243s	700 however the blessings it has are
1246s	pretty nice stasis field enemies within
1248s	500 M are simply slowed down and
1251s	inversion incoming damage has a 10%
1253s	chance to be ignored and restore shield
1256s	and armor instead 10% chance to just
1259s	randomly not affect you but instead help
1263s	you this Relic quiry specifically would
1266s	grant us an energy core its required
1269s	lunacy is 600 I'm not going to read off
1272s	everything now because I know that you
1273s	guys are competent and can do that
1278s	yourselves I'm giving you a sense of how
1280s	much variety can be found in just the
1282s	reliquaries alone
1284s	okay this is the one that we found
1286s	earlier I believe you get all the
1288s	possible passive of your ship class I
1289s	love that that's such a fun one reading
1292s	is hard though I see oh my gosh you guys
1295s	um I think we're going to try for this
1297s	one it's at lunacy 500 which honestly is
1299s	a pretty strong challenge but why not uh
1302s	but let me also show you these last
1309s	two oh I like uh prosperous that one's
1313s	fun this one we could grab very easily
1316s	for a new secondary weapon but let's try
1318s	to go for a c
1321s	unit actually you know what let's go for
1323s	the more guaranteed one that seems like
1325s	a better
1326s	bet let's do the more guaranteed
1330s	one so now when we've plugged this in it
1333s	tells us if we were to go all the way
1335s	down to lunacy zero for example the
1338s	required lunacy here also I have
1341s	appeared once again you see the required
1343s	lunacy to unlock the reliquary and the
1346s	blessing it
1347s	provides if we are less than the lunacy
1351s	then it will require tiers of the Mad in
1353s	order to unlock this but it's reduced
1356s	versus having to open it just by
1357s	ourselves so as we increase the lunacy
1359s	you can see here we no longer have to
1362s	have any tears of the M whatsoever gives
1364s	us all the details we are going to
1366s	unlock this reliquary should we finish
1368s	the Run
1371s	accordingly so I am going to we're going
1374s	to keep things simple we're going to
1375s	just um we're going to just do it at
1377s	lunacy 200 so that we can have a pretty
1380s	straightforward guarantee of this and
1383s	also talk about the improvements and
1385s	updates to the um the Rifts
1390s	themselves uh whoops wrong button we
1393s	going to do this one we're going to do
1395s	it 200 uh open
1398s	Rift so here we go
1411s	keep coming with those questions we will
1414s	be answering as many as we can uh
1416s	because we know that it's going to be a
1417s	pretty heavy uh question
1421s	stream and that's great like we we are
1424s	fully expecting that hit us with
1426s	everything you
1428s	got all right let's get this Tormentor
1430s	first
1433s	actually so there are a number of topics
1437s	to bring up right out of the gate here
1439s	for this particular Rift the first thing
1441s	to note is we have progress and resolve
1444s	still but they're probably not going to
1446s	operate in the same way that you guys
1448s	remember
1451s	them now you can see that there's like
1453s	this little um there's some
1455s	indicators next to where it says lunacy
1461s	200 we've adjusted this
1463s	system so that
1466s	failure does not mean
1470s	you lose everything just because your
1472s	resolve ticks
1474s	out if your ship goes down you're
1478s	rejected but if your resolve goes down
1481s	it just means for that particular
1483s	territory you did not succeed the
1486s	prerequisites but you will still
1489s	continue through the
1495s	rift I probably could have bumped up the
1498s	lunacy a little bit more but you know
1499s	what it's
1500s	okay guaranteeing a victory here is
1504s	probably going to be ideal for cases of
1506s	showcasing so deal with
1510s	it besides we'll likely see some new
1512s	stuff here
1522s	anyway all right so here we are told
1525s	that the stage was
1527s	resolved that that
1532s	means we're going to have some nice
1535s	benefits to our loot pool the deeper we
1539s	go enemies cannot be
1543s	locked enemy type names are
1546s	hidden you can also see we've tweaked a
1548s	little bit of the quality of information
1550s	here so on this enemies cannot be locked
1553s	this is a completely new modifier um I
1556s	don't recall if this is exclusive to
1558s	Rifts or if it can also be in something
1561s	like a high-risk location for
1564s	example but yes there are now exclusives
1567s	to the two there are some things that
1569s	can only be applied to Rifts and there
1572s	are some specific to high-risk
1575s	locations we're going to go ahead and do
1577s	this one where enemies cannot be locked
1579s	because hey you know what we've got 20
1581s	cruise missiles or 10 10 cruise
1585s	missiles 10 cruise missiles who needs to
1587s	lock on for that
1591s	nonsense oh also I'm gonna do one quick
1593s	try here hang on hang
1599s	on just seeing if I can get Gary one
1605s	moment nope it appears to still be down
1610s	unfortunate hoping that comes up soon
1612s	all right let's keep
1616s	going so we have no lock now applied to
1620s	us in this particular
1623s	Rift but we still have prosperous giving
1627s	us all of those extra secondaries which
1630s	we're not really using too much but hey
1631s	you
1632s	know we might as well though am I
1635s	right even though we can't lock on we've
1637s	got pretty good aim
1639s	right perfect
1663s	just realized I don't have a Mobility
1665s	device silly
1673s	me I really want you there we go
1689s	oh man my devices I didn't even think
1691s	about this I don't even know why I
1693s	didn't think about that but now my
1694s	devices are uh I can't even use two of
1697s	my
1699s	devices silly me that handicap is uh
1703s	painful
1709s	much more painful than I uh intended it
1711s	to be
1724s	actually this should help a
1727s	bit there we
1734s	go all talking about how oh it's only
1736s	lunacy 200 this won't be too much of a
1739s	problem and I freaking almost get caught
1741s	out off guard because I don't have
1743s	access to two of my
1746s	devices shame on me for not making that
1750s	realization because I can't lock on so I
1752s	can't use them enemies drop mine when's
1755s	destroyed every time an enemy is
1757s	destroyed all enemies present are
1759s	repaired ooh random items
1765s	overheated well I do not like any of
1767s	these options
1776s	let's go with
1778s	mines but you can see that as you're
1780s	choosing these new portals now that the
1783s	loot quality actually changes based on
1785s	which one you choose if you guys had
1786s	missed that that is now a thing so if
1789s	you're choosing some harder modifiers it
1791s	will increase the loot quality uh even
1793s	greater
1800s	all right let's really try to focus in
1802s	take care to bring this all
1806s	together oh man these are all too far
1808s	away where's my
1817s	boosters that was good
1829s	getting a really good chain to keep my
1831s	ult up here this is
1840s	nice since don't forget well actually no
1843s	that
1846s	remember this is just this is just
1849s	Interceptor Shenanigans honestly but
1852s	it's
1854s	nice of course there are some really
1856s	playful ways to keep your alt up uh
1859s	really well in a lot of other ships
1861s	we've seen a lot of you guys out there
1862s	in the community find those methods and
1864s	it's
1866s	awesome and a big mindset that we had in
1869s	the end game as we're making adjustments
1871s	and improvements accordingly is that we
1873s	really don't want to break too much of
1875s	what you guys have
1878s	done our main direction through
1882s	development to tweak and modify and
1884s	refine most of this in-game content is
1886s	to build on top of instead of try to
1889s	like take away and reformat
1892s	okay so here as a really simple example
1895s	as I've mentioned for the rift we've got
1897s	three of these Rift stages completed had
1900s	we not had the resolve at the end of it
1904s	then we could have still kept going on
1906s	this is actually to lighten that load
1908s	especially if you're trying lunacy 500
1910s	for the first time and you're able to
1912s	stabilize yourself you're just not able
1913s	to get the right kills right you would
1915s	still move through the stages
1917s	accordingly
1919s	you just wouldn't complete each
1921s	individual stage so it grants more
1926s	leeway and we very much wanted to do
1928s	that to Grant more leeway as things move
1931s	forward as opposed to take their things
1933s	away now this last location might have a
1936s	little bit more to talk about let's see
1938s	what we
1942s	get and yes modifiers are cumulative
1945s	through the rift stages
1948s	ah it's really a destroyer okay uh
1951s	Quantum mend all right so what is
1954s	quantum mend periodically teleports to a
1957s	random location and starts repairing
1959s	until he takes damage
1962s	again well that's completely new this is
1965s	a boss modifier
1968s	um all of the rift bosses will now come
1972s	packed full of having one of these
1975s	Quantum mend uh it's going to be kind of
1977s	similar to how um the Clone that you
1980s	encounter spoiler jumps away from you
1983s	whenever you are uh dealing with a dox
1986s	situation spoiler
1988s	spoiler kind of operates like
1999s	that let's see if he does it oh there he
2003s	goes but you can see where he goes with
2007s	the particle effects that we've applied
2009s	we want to make sure that no matter what
2011s	is
2013s	occurring that we're
2014s	telegraphing why it's occurring how it's
2017s	occurring you know all those fun
2019s	things got
2031s	them so now let's see what happens
2035s	next new boss types A yeah
2039s	yeah there's a slew of different enemies
2041s	that can be considered the boss type
2042s	that you will encounter at the end of a
2046s	rift and depending on the modifiers
2049s	maybe more than
2055s	that so now we see that the requery has
2059s	dropped uh we also see tear of the mat
2062s	here I'm not sure if that's intentional
2063s	or not L but we see this Relic quary we
2068s	we go up to it it says open so we've now
2070s	unlocked it so as we do that oh look we
2073s	got
2075s	ritual we've got a new legendary and it
2078s	comes with a slew of other items
2080s	according to that lunacy level we
2082s	completed now we were at lunacy 200 so
2084s	the contents here probably shouldn't be
2086s	too
2087s	surprising so let's go ahead and just
2089s	we're just going to use it cuz yes you
2091s	know and we'll just go ahead and scrap
2094s	this stuff because we're we're moving
2096s	forward Bonk thank you for your
2103s	service that's how the Rifts are largely
2106s	getting changed from our previous
2109s	format where it's just oh you do a rift
2112s	and random stuff happens then you have
2114s	the boss and depending on how difficult
2117s	it was you get a legendary or not right
2119s	we've added these additional
2123s	systems these reliquaries from the
2126s	incursion events to not only find more
2130s	specific legendaries but also to refine
2132s	the legendary items that you
2140s	have so let's just uh drop in here look
2143s	at some ships really quick and then I'm
2145s	going to see if I've got coms with Gary
2147s	if not I'm just going to pull up the
2148s	questions that have been cataloged and
2150s	we're going to read through them and
2150s	we're going to answer some questions
2152s	real
2154s	quick oh yeah oh I like I like that I
2157s	like that look a lot just paint it like
2160s	a deep blue and you've you've created
2162s	like a manta ray shark
2165s	thing uh-huh yep so lots lot of new
2170s	little things to play around with when
2171s	it comes to
2173s	um modules for the
2176s	ships keep going down
2179s	here it's very much reminiscent of uh
2183s	the Firefly class vessel from uh the
2188s	you know show called Firefly I like
2193s	that I think some of these were still
2195s	the same that that first one though
2197s	that's the new rotated one I like that a
2198s	lot all right let me uh pull up the
2202s	questions we have cataloged start
2204s	running through them for you here why is
2207s	my sound dipping out like that hang
2210s	on uh disabled there we
2213s	go so we can stare at this vessel and
2216s	I'm going to answer some questions
2219s	so the first question we've
2226s	got one more second just seeing Gary are
2230s	you
2232s	there
2233s	nope dang it
2236s	Discord let's go all
2239s	right the first question comes from Fred
2242s	spec vet concerning the nightmare
2244s	difficulty rebalance is the later on
2246s	version of nightmare more nightmarish or
2248s	about the same um well what we wanted to
2250s	do with this is make Nightmare truly
2252s	feel much more challenging than hard
2255s	it's meant to be not just a step up but
2258s	several so the rebalancing of that
2261s	nightmare curve through does make it a
2264s	greater challenge um it's not going to
2266s	be super crazy like if you want that I
2269s	mean you're doing your The Very extreme
2272s	um incursions and you're also taking on
2275s	legendary high-risk areas
2279s	huh we haven't talked about that yet and
2280s	we're also talking about doing maximize
2283s	Rifts of 1,500 or higher all the way up
2286s	to that 2,000 lunacy
2289s	Mark so we had a lot of considerations
2293s	to make sure difficulty didn't get too
2296s	ridiculous while also making sure if you
2298s	want that it's
2301s	pursuable next question comes from
2302s	sorine Teton so unlike Rifts incursions
2305s	are subject to the difficulty your
2308s	playing on yes and no so the way that we
2312s	have it operate is that we want the
2313s	incursions to always be a much greater
2316s	challenge as a whole if you're choosing
2318s	that third tier um the easy incursions
2322s	though I mean yeah that that one's not
2324s	going to be so much affected still
2326s	consider it more like a the balancing
2328s	regards that a standard incursion is
2330s	going to be more like a um hard
2334s	difficulty setting okay whereas when you
2337s	go to to that maximized setup um it's
2340s	going to be much more like you're
2341s	playing on nightmare furthermore the
2344s	only way that you're going to get those
2345s	reliquaries that are radiant much like
2347s	the one that I got at the start of the
2349s	stream is by doing those High those
2352s	extreme challenged incur incursions all
2355s	right so uh it's going to be incredibly
2357s	rare if not impossible to obtain a
2363s	radiant whenever you're doing the low
2365s	incursions okay
2369s	next question comes from chatwi are
2370s	incursions scaled to player level or
2372s	location
2374s	level
2376s	um the incursions are mostly an in-game
2381s	event and they are I am pretty sure that
2385s	they just take into account of the exact
2387s	level you're at um I say pretty sure
2390s	because I'm actually going to need
2392s	um a coworker to help me out on that one
2396s	because I know that
2398s	the great intent of incursions as you
2400s	all know is basically your max level um
2403s	but I'm I'm pretty certain that we did
2406s	Infuse that sort of um gentle cap of
2410s	going to understand you're not level 30
2413s	and will meet you where you're at on
2414s	that front um but aside from aside from
2419s	that uh I it's not going to be the
2421s	location level it's going to much more
2424s	adhere to your player level um if
2426s	anything
2427s	so the way incursions will start um you
2431s	will know there's going to be a specific
2432s	way to uh enter into them which does
2435s	require certain things to happen first
2437s	like you know doing your first Rift for
2442s	example really sorry for my throat man
2444s	it's really it's really
2447s	deep oh oh hello whoa you came out of
2452s	nowhere hello there sir oh my gosh you
2454s	have more questions for me
2459s	everybody Gary Gary made it he's
2463s	here nice hey do we have some more
2467s	questions
2469s	finally oh yeah sorry about that that
2471s	Discord just decided to work and so we
2474s	had to wait until they fixed it so yeah
2476s	here I am
2478s	yes oh finally finally oh yeah see
2482s	people missing out saying say hi Gary hi
2483s	Gary you know oh of course yes didn't
2486s	get that oh my gosh yeah we' we've been
2488s	missing
2490s	you right then uh where did we get up to
2493s	cuz I've better ask these questions I
2495s	feel like I've not done enough today I
2497s	know right we're on the fourth
2498s	question right so you pesky husky um
2503s	Asko on YouTube uh how would you compare
2506s	2000 lunacy to the highest difficulty of
2510s	incursion way more difficult um in fact
2514s	uh if you would compare an incursion Max
2517s	out to a lunacy comparison um I don't
2521s	think it really goes far beyond 500 if
2524s	even that um that was actually something
2527s	that we had a number of discussions
2530s	about internally and I might I might
2533s	even be overstepping there it might not
2534s	even be that of a 500 lunacy um but um
2539s	we wanted to make sure that they're
2540s	still providing a great challenge uh
2544s	since you know they're optional events
2548s	and they can reward you rather greatly
2551s	so it wouldn't make sense for us to just
2552s	like have you get tons and tons of
2554s	legendaries in all cases everywhere and
2556s	you just don't have to do didd squat to
2558s	obtain that like we still want there to
2560s	be effort that you're pouring into that
2562s	um so they've been designed in that
2564s	sense uh while still allowing riffs to
2567s	have that maximum distinction of
2569s	difficulty
2572s	setting so good question excellent right
2576s	switching over to Twitch this time and
2578s	steiny no would like to know are
2581s	incursions possible on all locations and
2584s	if yes will'll be able to will sorry it
2586s	will be available on control locations
2588s	where you can be wanted and how
2590s	incursions would happen while being
2592s	wanted the followup with that is will
2594s	every enemy focus on you or will there
2596s	be some fighting amongst themselves so
2599s	the way that incursions operate is that
2601s	they are going to generate basically
2603s	anywhere in the known DMZ that can be
2606s	random locations but it's primarily
2608s	going to be um these points of interests
2611s	that you have ventured to before like
2613s	this crash site for example or the
2615s	abandoned jump gate or rhyme gate or the
2618s	orot or orc orcot trading
2622s	station or the Bri bioplant etc etc and
2626s	whatever presence is there will also be
2629s	contesting the incursion be them Friend
2632s	or Foe you could use that to your
2633s	advantage or get screwed by it you have
2636s	to take a little bit of care and caution
2638s	on that front just because if you're
2641s	doing one in Drake and you happen to be
2643s	helping protect uh you know the zilia in
2646s	a certain sort of way that doesn't mean
2648s	they're just going to join up with you
2650s	and be like oh nope it's all totally
2652s	cool let's handle this first they're
2653s	still really ticked off about what you
2655s	did during those gang wars all right
2657s	so there's a subtle sort of Allegiance
2661s	there but there's not full-blown
2668s	uh right sticking with twitch uh and a
2670s	question from Flory you would like to
2672s	know does the uh poent percentage of the
2674s	shields of the beacon that they lose
2676s	scale with the type of the enemy like do
2678s	you get uh more for killing an overseer
2682s	or a less for a drone yes absolutely we
2686s	wanted to make sure that that feature
2687s	was um applicable to the balance of it
2690s	all we didn't want somebody just poking
2692s	out a bunch of drones and then taking
2693s	out the shield like if you take out a
2695s	couple of drones it'll take out a little
2697s	bit of The Shield Shield if you take out
2699s	a much larger vessel it will take out a
2701s	much larger chunk of the
2706s	shields uh Fred spec on YouTube now
2709s	would like to know is The Relic that has
2711s	a 10% chance to restore Shield hit
2714s	points on damage does it take into
2716s	account fast and slow
2720s	weapons my guess is probably not it only
2723s	cares about the initial impact that's
2725s	not something I've specific
2728s	uh looked
2730s	into but um the way that most of our
2735s	reliquary benefits are going to operate
2737s	is going to be exactly as the text uh
2740s	implies so when it's talking
2742s	about 10% of the shots that means like
2745s	if you were if you got hit by a scatter
2748s	weapon then one shot out of 10 even if
2751s	it was like a single shot from the enemy
2753s	one of those is going to repair you
2755s	while the other nine damage you for
2759s	example so it's not really going to care
2762s	how fast that projectile hit you at it's
2765s	just going to care if it hits
2770s	you nice nice right sticking with
2773s	YouTube again uh switching to typed
2775s	Kibbles uh they would like to know how
2777s	are these incursions related to the main
2779s	story around what point in the story
2781s	will they start appearing oh yes I
2784s	that's a fair question and um to just
2786s	kind of keep it brief this is something
2788s	that we want you guys to explore and
2790s	discover yourselves um so to answer that
2792s	I will say that there would have to be
2794s	some sort of reason for them to start
2797s	popping up all over the place which I
2800s	think will be pretty well
2802s	connected with the various things that
2805s	you do through the main campaign story
2807s	and I'm sure I'm rather confident in
2809s	fact that most of the Chatters right now
2812s	have a pretty good sense of why these
2815s	may start uh occurring in the first
2818s	place I'm going to go ahead and do
2820s	another incursion while we're still
2821s	going to answer questions cuz I want to
2823s	show more so Gary keep them coming no
2826s	worries no worries right switch into to
2828s	Twitch uh chaty would like to know do
2830s	you lose the requery if you fail the
2833s	rift a that's a beautiful question the
2835s	answer is no it just comes back to you
2838s	still
2842s	locked we're happy with that uh right uh
2846s	a plethora coming from YouTube starting
2848s	off with JR panoti uh other items
2851s	without star forged versions they've
2853s	been looking for the Strat cumulus uh
2856s	shield Star forged for months for months
2859s	oh my gosh well I'm pretty sure that the
2862s	new ways that we are allowing for even
2865s	more loot to drop is going to help uh a
2868s	bit on that regard uh because more means
2871s	more chances at the very least um we
2874s	have not refined any aspects of say like
2876s	the uh craft system to uh get you
2880s	exactly what you are um looking for if
2884s	it's a unique item like we still have
2886s	that reserved for um improvised
2892s	crafting but um I'm rather confident if
2895s	you're looking for more star Forge
2897s	specific uh
2899s	equipment you're going to find it a
2901s	healthy bit more if you're taking on the
2904s	higher grade challenges through
2905s	incursions through uh Rifts and even
2908s	through highrisk
2912s	areas we're getting too far away from
2914s	this beac
2916s	yeah uh question St staying with the
2919s	YouTube from Fred spec again um are we
2922s	worried about stat blur feature creep
2924s	and possible confusion uh for people not
2927s	understanding how the new reliquaries
2929s	work oh of course absolutely like I mean
2932s	there's going to be there's going to be
2933s	a lot of confusion we understand that
2934s	it's part of the reason why we do these
2936s	streams um just to help clarify those
2938s	details as much as we can um you
2942s	know power creep goodness there we could
2946s	we could have such a long discussion on
2948s	that as a whole it's something that the
2950s	team uh feels very strongly about at
2954s	times um I mean it's it's no different
2957s	than when we look back at our armed and
2959s	dangerous update and what that has done
2961s	to a lot of the what we'll call Meta of
2963s	the late game um it is it is very UNC
2967s	common to actually have a build like
2969s	mine where you have non set items being
2972s	used here okay like if this was if this
2975s	was a like decently minmaxed build all
2978s	of these would be set items and we
2980s	recognize that um we have gone in and
2983s	we've tweaked a couple of values here
2985s	and there it's not anything crazy um
2987s	nothing to like really write home about
2989s	but just to try and level that playing
2990s	field to make things a little bit easier
2992s	for those who don't have set items built
2994s	out um while still retaining the set
2996s	item values across the board so you're
2998s	not really going to see any difference
3000s	if you're using your set items the way
3002s	that you are if you're not using set
3004s	items it might be a little bit stronger
3006s	when last you
3008s	played so but overall um if it's fun for
3012s	people to use we want to keep that and
3015s	we don't want to make something way too
3017s	powerful to make something else no
3018s	longer fun um so there's been a lot of
3020s	intentionality to the new legendaries
3023s	that have been added on that regard as
3024s	well as um how combinations of
3027s	legendaries and set items and all that
3029s	fun stuff does come together and then of
3032s	course we have the Relic quaries that
3033s	say we don't really care just have fun
3035s	by getting a ton of crazy bonuses to go
3038s	up against challenges like lunacy 2000
3041s	so I
3044s	ready right you can't talk about that
3048s	sorry
3048s	[Laughter]
3050s	okay YouTube again with sorine Teton uh
3054s	is there any law link between relies
3056s	bless blessings and the redeemers
3058s	because of all the religious
3060s	terms
3064s	maybe next question next question love
3067s	it uh right Fred spec Again on YouTube
3071s	um they're starting a new save when the
3073s	update goes live which uh just for
3074s	clarity people can do there is no
3076s	requirement to do so but if you do wish
3078s	to you can do uh will leveling players
3081s	also benefit from this update and if so
3083s	how yes so uh on most of the um
3088s	experience through this update of course
3090s	naturally is going to be the endgame but
3093s	if you are starting a brand new game for
3095s	example or you're picking up when you're
3097s	halfway through it um there are those
3100s	subtle tweaks and adjustments that will
3102s	be able to help refine your build in the
3105s	direction a little bit further while
3107s	also of course providing a much greater
3109s	sense of customization from the GetGo if
3111s	you're still at the beginning because of
3112s	the new modules at the very least it
3115s	allows you to look more awesome okay
3117s	okay so um so there are those aspects of
3120s	it but it should be no surprise that the
3124s	main point of this content update does
3126s	Focus around the end game so it's not
3129s	going to have this massive impact on
3132s	players who are starting a new game it
3134s	will have an impact but it's not going
3136s	to be like gamechanging per
3139s	se the most game changing it will be is
3143s	for individuals who are just getting
3145s	into level 15 range if you're not
3147s	playing on nightmare there's a new way
3151s	to find legendary items so there is that
3155s	and I'll talk more about that in a
3157s	moment or two but let's keep answering
3158s	questions
3159s	first okay uh all these little sees that
3163s	we're GNA have there is so much there's
3165s	so much guys so much uh twitch now with
3169s	bage he would like to know are rift loot
3172s	modifier percentages all fixed if ER was
3175s	running a 2K Rift would the modifies be
3178s	plus 500% or
3181s	whatever I need you to ask that question
3183s	one more time cuz I'm not I want to make
3185s	sure that I'm UND cuz the the question
3188s	is effectively
3190s	like excuse me the question you're
3193s	you're specifically if it's like um a
3196s	certain type of reliquary then the then
3199s	it's always going to have a certain
3202s	percentage of loot quality bound to it
3204s	is that how I'm understanding the
3206s	question uh I mean bage if you're still
3209s	in the chat if you want to clarify this
3210s	a little bit further please do uh
3212s	they've just put are the rift loot
3214s	modifiers percentages all
3217s	fixed okay so the generally speaking the
3220s	loot modify the quality um is going to
3224s	affect the drop at the end of the rift
3228s	every time um regarding the fixed nature
3232s	of it or not there are a lot of
3234s	different factors that determine the
3235s	loot quality every from if the uh
3239s	everything from what the lunacy is to
3242s	the various modifiers during the rift
3246s	R to even the very reliquary you have
3250s	infused to try and unlock in the rift
3252s	itself so each one of these things is
3255s	going to increase uh dramatically or
3259s	subtly depending on those
3261s	choices but if you were looking at like
3263s	two exact Relic quaries back to to back
3267s	one can't just randomly have
3270s	1,000% um loot quality and the other one
3273s	be like zero like there is there is a
3276s	dependence of the blessings that do
3280s	impact the quality of the loot and
3284s	perhaps that's maybe that's the question
3286s	as a whole that's being asked and um if
3288s	that is the case then the answer would
3290s	be yes um but uh just trying to be as
3294s	thorough as possible there to have that
3297s	overarching
3299s	understanding um yeah Biv did actually
3301s	just put in the in twitch chat said the
3304s	know the rift mods like no lock on or
3307s	plus 55% loot increase okay yeah so
3311s	those various modifiers throughout the
3313s	rift they generally they'll have an
3315s	Associated loot quality bound to them
3318s	every time they're not going to just be
3324s	randomized cool got another six
3328s	questions we'll F through those um hesy
3332s	did a little uh followup on YouTube
3334s	regarding one of the questions uh is
3336s	there any uh is there already a law cut
3338s	scene for Rifts that you've already
3339s	finished the story will incursions law
3341s	be a separate kind of thing so there's
3346s	definitely incursions lore uh that will
3350s	reveal
3351s	itself uh whenever uh things transpire
3355s	to the degree that they need to um and
3359s	there will be uh Gary you're in the way
3361s	can you please move for a second please
3363s	can you okay thank you all right um so
3365s	there will definitely be more
3366s	information that you can Garner uh Gary
3368s	you're back by the
3370s	way nice nice um and it is bound to the
3376s	story it's not just a story it's bound
3378s	to the story that's transpiring overall
3381s	um it's uh but also note that it's not
3385s	impacting
3386s	the fully complete story that we have
3389s	told that is not somehow getting reconed
3392s	or changed in any sort of way whatsoever
3394s	this is more of just adding onto because
3397s	it's fun and it serves as a great
3400s	platform to do more things and get more
3403s	Loot and blow more stuff up cuz that's
3405s	what a game should be it's fun so
3411s	yeah uh excellent rice
3414s	sline with YouTube uh um would like to
3417s	know are boss modifiers limited to
3421s	riffs uh yes they are limited to the
3424s	bosses within the riffs yes absolutely
3427s	and there's a slew of them you're not
3429s	going to just see the same one over and
3430s	over I mean you will if you do tons of
3433s	riffs but you know what I
3436s	mean uh right next up we switching back
3439s	to Twitch chat you again uh so what
3442s	happens if some stages are not resolved
3444s	in a rift do you lose a fraction of the
3446s	loop quality bonus originally shown on
3448s	the lunacy slider perhaps so oh goodness
3452s	gravy um so it's to my understanding
3454s	that it is going to impact your loot
3456s	quality and it will actually change the
3459s	chance of a legendary to drop so if you
3463s	still make it all the way through the
3465s	rift you're still going to get rewards
3468s	but because you haven't completed those
3470s	certain sections then there's going to
3472s	be diminishing
3474s	returns so all overall if you're
3477s	approaching the riffs similarly to how
3480s	they've been uh implemented as of right
3482s	now where you're just completing them
3484s	before your resolve runs out nothing's
3486s	really going to change from that this is
3488s	more of a safety measure a safety net if
3491s	you will that if players are really
3492s	struggling but they want to try higher
3494s	lunacy um it allows you to still
3496s	complete it but you're not getting that
3499s	full reward since you're not fully
3502s	completing it if that makes sense
3509s	excent um right switching back to
3512s	YouTube for the next three uh J panot
3515s	again will the new modules be gained as
3520s	blueprints yes yeah you will find the or
3523s	wait no no not
3526s	blueprints do they drop as blueprints
3528s	that are then added to your module
3530s	collection now I'm confused no
3531s	blueprints are specifically the items
3533s	that you get through crafting you cannot
3534s	craft ship modules
3537s	um goodness oh look at that what's
3540s	what's that that's interesting um but
3543s	um instead uh they drop just like the
3546s	standard ship modules or colors do um
3549s	where you're destroying various things
3552s	they will be a drop that you can then
3553s	utilize in your
3556s	customization excellent uh just as a
3559s	little followup to chat's question on
3561s	there hdk the wonderful person he is has
3564s	just dropped in onto YouTube says you
3566s	won't get the legendary if you don't
3568s	resolve all the stages thank you for
3570s	that point of clarity Hans Christian I
3572s	couldn't remember if we had completely
3575s	negated the chance or if it was just
3576s	diminishing return so thank you really
3578s	do appreciate that so just reiterating
3580s	that one more time if you do not
3582s	complete every section of the rift then
3585s	it means there is no chance to get a
3588s	legendary okay thank you for that
3592s	excellent uh I think we've already
3594s	answered this follow-up question from
3595s	Foo over on YouTube about is the
3597s	reliquary consumed after finishing the
3600s	rift yes yeah the re when the reliquary
3603s	um is used in a rift and you meet the
3605s	prerequisites the reliquary opens up
3608s	it's gone you take what's inside of it
3611s	um so as an example of this right here
3613s	if we were to complete the lunacy at 300
3616s	at minimum The Relic query drops outside
3619s	of the rift we open it up and we take a
3621s	primary weapon legendary item um and uh
3625s	and The Relic war is gone
3628s	excuse
3630s	me uh right last question slur tson over
3633s	on YouTube uh so if you got Easter if
3636s	I'm playing on easy mode and I do an
3638s	incursion it will be the equivalent of
3640s	hard mode on nightmare mode it will
3643s	definitely ramp up um in fact because
3646s	Hans Christian's here I'm GNA actually
3648s	defer to him really quick sorry Hans
3650s	Christian for putting you on the spot
3652s	but um this was something that we had to
3654s	play around with balance and um it is to
3657s	my understanding that similarly to how
3660s	riffs the lunacy doesn't really care
3662s	about what difficulty you apped to um
3665s	the incursions also have a factor of
3667s	that in place so even if you roll down
3670s	the difficulty all the way on easy and
3672s	you're Max doing a maximum incursion
3674s	event um there's going to be a challenge
3677s	there uh like you are not playing on
3680s	easy but um I'll let Hans Christian
3683s	confirm that or deny that or tell me to
3685s	stop putting him on the spot
3687s	so because I I legitimately I cannot
3690s	remember um how we went about that
3695s	finalization cuz guys I don't know if
3698s	you know this don't tell anyone there is
3700s	a freaking crap ton of stuff coming
3702s	incursions there's been so much to
3704s	manage and handle and balance and play
3706s	tests and bring to into the fold it is a
3709s	tremendous amount of content uh so many
3711s	discussions so many conversations
3713s	surrounding it to make sure that it
3715s	feels good and it's right and it like
3717s	just does what it needs to do uh there's
3719s	a lot there there's a lot there so if I
3722s	see a little bit scattered rain it's not
3723s	because I'm silly it's because my
3726s	brain's been full of way too much
3730s	information um it's been a wild uh few
3734s	um couple of weeks in particular
3737s	actually
3738s	so she as actually replied ABS genius
3742s	and this is purely because of the amount
3743s	of content that we thrown into
3745s	incursions is that
3746s	uh he thinks so yes but he can't
3748s	remember
3749s	either oh my gosh that's that's honestly
3752s	the best answer thank you Hans Christian
3754s	so I'm not going crazy I know we've
3756s	talked about it I know we implemented
3758s	some elements and then we had follow-up
3760s	conversation I can't even oh my gosh so
3763s	um but long story short guys like even
3765s	ju just know this okay when you're
3768s	looking at incursions in and of
3770s	themselves there's different threat
3772s	levels the lower the Threat Level the
3775s	easier it's going to be the higher the
3777s	Threat Level the harder it's going to be
3779s	whether that's associated with the
3781s	difficulty of your choosing down
3783s	here it may or may not matter it's
3787s	probably going to be influenced by it
3789s	but I can guarantee you that riffs don't
3791s	care about this they do not care about
3794s	this difficulty riffs will always change
3798s	depending on what lunacy you have
3802s	incursions I wish we could remember
3807s	ah honestly that feels like the best
3810s	answer it's great okay I'm going to do
3814s	another Rift I think cuz that was the
3815s	last question for the moment it is for
3817s	time being yeah okay oh actually you
3819s	know what I want to do something else I
3820s	want to um I want to show something um
3823s	and I do have screenshots of it doesn't
3825s	go super well because
3828s	um I have a specific spot I want to go
3832s	um cuz a lot of you guys have actually
3834s	there hasn't been a single question I
3836s	don't think about Unreal Engine 5 uh
3838s	Gary you can you can go you you don't
3840s	have to stay there okay all right thank
3842s	you um so there the Unreal Engine 5
3846s	migration is absolutely happening come
3849s	Monday
3851s	alongside this update okay it's all
3854s	showing up there have been so many
3857s	rumors about how it's going to impact
3859s	performance and be this crazy thing
3862s	that's going to desecrate your poor
3864s	little potato PC or you know make your
3868s	outstanding NASA computers just 50 times
3872s	more
3872s	glorious guys n there's been so many
3875s	people talking like they understand what
3878s	Unreal Engine migration looks like let
3879s	me tell you straight-handle
3888s	fix all your problems nor is it
3891s	magically going to make ever Space 2
3893s	look like it was released in 2035 okay
3896s	neither of these things are true okay
3899s	what is true is that our direction that
3902s	we've to taken Unreal Engine 5 is to
3905s	ensure it is stable and
3909s	supported so what I mean by that is
3912s	there should be almost zero difference
3915s	for you coming from your previous
3918s	position before the update and after the
3920s	update it should operate almost
3924s	identically now there has also been a
3927s	number of individuals asking like well
3928s	are you going to take advantage of any
3930s	of the new features that unrel engion 5
3932s	has and our answer has majority been
3935s	probably not because that wasn't the
3937s	intent of the move but I am pleased to
3940s	say that there have been some healthy
3942s	results of certain territories that
3945s	ended up becoming a little bit better
3947s	than not so one of those territories I'm
3949s	going to show you by just a quick fly
3951s	fly through here and just looking at
3953s	some of these metal components if you
3955s	will
3957s	okay and just how they look and I'm
3960s	going to do it again and I'm going to
3961s	turn Lumen on
3964s	okay some of you may see the difference
3967s	almost immediately some of you might not
3969s	because your eyes are going to get
3970s	adjusted to it and that's okay when you
3973s	get used to something over and over
3974s	especially if you've played this game a
3976s	bit might not seem like there's a
3979s	difference but the setting is alive and
3982s	well
3987s	and what this does for anybody who's
3990s	kind of wondering like well what is
3991s	Lumen exactly basically what it does is
3993s	it says oh there's light sources that
3996s	means there's Reflections and those
3998s	Reflections are now cataloged to fill
4001s	the space of how like metal works for
4004s	example giving greater glows and
4006s	highlights to where light is actually
4008s	hitting while creating greater Shadows
4011s	where light's not present at
4013s	all now again I'm doing this and some of
4016s	you might be able to tell some of these
4018s	difference near immediately and others
4021s	of you are just like no I I don't see I
4023s	don't see anything at all like let's
4025s	actually let's look at this really quick
4026s	see the ship reflected right in there
4028s	this might be a good example right in
4030s	there let's change this we just turn
4032s	Lumen directly off look at look at that
4035s	you can see there's a very distinct look
4038s	now a huge difference and how this
4043s	information I'm not dying I swear and
4046s	and how it is cataloged and how it's
4047s	being reflected where this is more like
4049s	oh there's some bars there we're going
4051s	to make it you know this is all super
4053s	glossy look at that it almost to a
4055s	degree one could argue it looks maybe a
4057s	little bit plasticky honestly uh all of
4061s	my co-workers I'm not crapping on our
4062s	game I think we've done a fantastic job
4064s	Lumen can do some really remarkable
4067s	things I'm going to turn this back on
4068s	one more time where now you're seeing it
4070s	has a much more metallic feel because
4072s	the light sources it is capturing are
4074s	from all of those flections and proper
4077s	angles it's part of the structure
4080s	now this
4084s	feature is not
4086s	required to play the
4089s	game it is a bonus because we upgraded
4092s	to Unreal Engine 5 should you desire to
4094s	test it out and see how it operates have
4097s	at it I'm going to fly around with Lumen
4100s	see how it impacts the stream it
4102s	probably will because it was a little
4104s	bit more demanding on my computer than
4105s	not but you know we'll see what
4107s	happens but ultimately it's not going to
4110s	have like this super crazy lifechanging
4113s	impact for most players for those like
4116s	super like crazy dedicated among you who
4118s	want that hyperrealism and all things
4120s	yeah you're probably going to notice a a
4122s	pretty good difference honestly so U
4125s	depending on where you're coming
4127s	from this can be something really cool
4130s	to look into and explore again you don't
4132s	need it at all and it comes uh the game
4135s	comes default off so you don't have to
4137s	worry about
4139s	it but
4141s	yeah just wanted to show that um now I'm
4145s	going to do a quick thing where I'm
4147s	going to show you a couple of
4148s	screenshots in addition to um what I've
4152s	just shown you here cuz I really want to
4153s	I really want to highlight this as much
4155s	as possible cuz for some people this is
4157s	really cool I know some of you are like
4159s	I don't really care at all tough we're
4160s	highlighting this because we think it's
4163s	cool so let's go over to
4167s	excuse
4169s	me quick Showcase screen Gary's back
4172s	hello and what I'm going to do is I'm
4174s	going to show you these before and after
4176s	screenshots of having Lumen off and then
4180s	having Lumen oh whoops than having Lumen
4184s	on and remember the main difference this
4187s	is Lumen that's off we just have like
4189s	the metallic structures there they're
4191s	like reflecting specifically on what's
4193s	against themselves the light sources are
4196s	generated right Lumen is now saying oh
4199s	hey because this light is reflecting on
4201s	all these other uh parts and pieces that
4203s	are metal or plastic or whatever the
4206s	heck they're made out of or there's an
4207s	illumination going on you can see
4210s	there's a pretty Stark difference in
4213s	this shot where the metal the
4216s	reflections highlight a lot of these
4219s	territories that are closer to the
4221s	lights and if you're looking deep enough
4224s	you can see the Shadows are actually
4226s	in a way getting darker because of how
4228s	that light's hitting right so I'm going
4231s	to go through a couple more of these
4232s	just to kind of show I mean we were
4234s	right here but just to kind of give you
4235s	another example here this is with Lumen
4239s	off this is with Lumen on and I know
4241s	that there's a black border around it
4243s	I'm doing this to give you the exact
4244s	shape of the image okay so this is
4247s	loomin
4248s	off this is Lumin
4250s	on you can see a lot in like the uh the
4254s	upper portions where the lights are
4255s	casting skating
4256s	downwards how that's changing the way
4259s	the light is hitting and spreading out
4262s	that
4263s	volume here's another one I'm a big fan
4266s	of this look at the um the gas canisters
4269s	on the right side in particular like
4271s	this you can definitely tell everything
4273s	exists it's present it's there the
4275s	Shadows look you know to a degree maybe
4277s	a little bit artificial but you can tell
4279s	what the structure is right like it
4280s	looks really good and we're really happy
4282s	with your results this is what happens
4283s	when you change to lumen
4288s	the light the
4291s	clouds everything is now impacting this
4295s	brightening it up while you're also
4296s	seeing the Shadows are actually
4298s	darkening where the light cannot
4302s	penetrate there's some incredibly Rich
4304s	contrasts that can occur
4309s	here all right now we're going to go
4311s	through a couple more real quick this is
4313s	with loomin off in a cave where there's
4315s	light source is shooting out but then
4316s	there's like these Darkness sort of
4318s	things going on this is with Lumen
4321s	on you're seeing much more of that light
4323s	source appear there's a better angle of
4325s	it okay those same light sources are
4327s	inside here can you tell there's light
4329s	coming out of it no because Lumen has
4331s	turned off here okay this is just a big
4333s	dark hole that you're meant to go
4334s	exploring so we're happy with the
4336s	results but let's add Lumen to it oh my
4340s	gosh there's light in there and it's
4343s	reflecting off those metal panels we can
4345s	see that there's
4346s	something around the corner that's
4348s	giving off light look at that look at
4351s	look at that difference ladies and
4352s	gentlemen look at that so if you want to
4354s	go uh around and play with
4357s	Lumen definitely encourage you to do so
4359s	here's another really nice example with
4361s	just this fire effect and how we're
4363s	getting everything kind of illuminated
4365s	but then we have Lumen that's focusing
4366s	in on the fire
4368s	territory look at
4371s	that light at the end of the tunnel oh
4373s	my
4374s	gosh and last but not least I've got
4376s	this one a lot of metallic structures of
4380s	course you know this is the natural look
4381s	that we've always used and we are again
4383s	really happy with these results and then
4385s	lum's like oh you know
4387s	what uh hold my what's the what's the
4391s	drink that El drinks all the time crap I
4393s	can't
4394s	remember um what it's called hold my
4397s	daquiri and Lumen like
4401s	pow just look at that it's crazy MH it
4404s	goes from yeah this is a metallic
4406s	structure and everything's made of metal
4408s	to yes this is understood to now wow
4410s	there's a cohesive hole and the light
4411s	sources feel like this is a natural
4413s	product of actual um uh environmental
4418s	properties it's pretty
4421s	cool yeah I know I know you've mentioned
4423s	it already but please remember folks
4425s	this is an additional option it's not
4428s	something that were mandatory enforcing
4429s	on any player or anything like it's just
4431s	a nice addition that we could put into
4433s	the game and it does look brilliant but
4435s	obviously if uh if your system struggles
4438s	with it then it's better about being on
4440s	any normal standard Global illumination
4442s	that we have yeah I'm like in in just
4445s	preaching to that just a little bit
4447s	further um I really want to to bring
4449s	this home to make sure everybody is well
4451s	aware we had no plans literally zero
4454s	plans to implement any new features from
4456s	Unreal Engine 5 so this is a bonus
4459s	should you desire to try it out okay
4463s	completely bonus material because we
4466s	thought it was pretty effective but is
4468s	by no means required for the full
4470s	everspace 2
4473s	experience okay that's a lot I was a lot
4475s	of talking about Lumen actually a little
4477s	bit longer than uh when I thought uh
4479s	let's try to get into some more new
4481s	stuff uh so I did bring you back on
4483s	screen didn't I oh yeah Gary you can go
4484s	away again you can see you later goodbye
4488s	bye um so I did I didn't pick up one oh
4492s	my gosh I was wanting to pick up a new
4495s	item
4496s	um which I am going to go pick up from
4500s	uh aan rust really quick uh give me one
4503s	second be just be right back no big deal
4507s	I don't know what you're talking about
4527s	oh my gosh ladies and gentlemen I have
4529s	returned oh my gosh what a store run
4531s	that was I talked to nice people at AV
4533s	Russ they struck a deal with me and I
4535s	picked up this Union signal
4537s	decoder um and it happens to be of
4540s	legendary status here this is a new tier
4544s	to the uh signal decoders as a
4546s	whole much more difficult I would say
4549s	with one more added modifier on it um
4552s	while also supplying that loot quality
4554s	benefit um and also you'll see to the
4557s	right of the loot quality there's
4558s	another little number there that number
4561s	indicates the new uh legendary crafting
4565s	item which maybe will explain more or
4567s	maybe I won't at all so you can discover
4570s	more about that on
4571s	Monday
4573s	but let's go ahead and activate
4579s	this here we go we got our Union
4582s	high-risk area here
4587s	and for all intents some purposes we are
4588s	going to once again stay on normal
4591s	difficulty um also reminder I did turn
4594s	Lumen on so it is active right now um
4598s	hopefully there can be a different scene
4600s	from you guys if not no worries it's not
4602s	really like a crazy big deal if you
4604s	don't um I'm just kind of showing you
4606s	that it really doesn't impact
4607s	performance hardly at all um but you
4610s	know I suppose that's to be seen from
4612s	you guys right just know that my I don't
4614s	have like a second computer helping me
4616s	out doing all the rendering for the
4617s	stream I'm doing this all from my
4619s	computer um so maybe something really W
4622s	wonky or sad is going to occur I don't
4624s	know but hopefully it doesn't oh my gosh
4626s	speaking of wonky or sad that was almost
4628s	complete
4635s	pain
4638s	woo maybe I should have read some of the
4640s	modifiers that these guys have
4646s	let's see if we can uh oh my
4649s	gosh nice
4652s	explosions let's see if we can keep our
4654s	alt up the entire duration that's our
4655s	new challenge
4656s	now oh come on get closer get
4660s	closer get
4664s	closer come on get my get my all back
4667s	come on don't lose
4671s	it oh thanks hi I appreciate it
4679s	ah we lost it that's
4689s	fine oh come
4691s	on min's on death no MP jar sensors
4694s	hidden Health okay that's not
4699s	terrible ow ow ow
4705s	this isn't too
4708s	bad this is a easy time to remind you
4711s	that the high-risk areas are not
4713s	impacted by the difficulty you're
4714s	playing on but you can see that things
4716s	are a healthy bit more uh you know
4719s	complicated with it being a legendary
4729s	one let's see oh here we go nice mixture
4731s	of enemies to explode here
4743s	all of these mines on death are probably
4745s	to my advantage goodness
4753s	gravy look at all those drones oh my
4756s	gosh
4765s	all right let's let a boss spawn let's
4767s	see what's what we're going to
4783s	get oh
4789s	yes oh he's he's
4791s	done let's get the stragglers
4806s	all right so you can see when we
4807s	completed the uh location we got this
4812s	bad boy this organic deep space
4813s	semiconductor and we have another
4815s	Catalyst blueprint that's
4817s	interesting
4819s	huh that's very
4823s	interesting all right let's go ahead and
4825s	scrap this
4828s	stuff you have picked up a new blueprint
4831s	thanks
4833s	Hive man we're completely loaded once
4836s	again that's always a great feeling
4837s	let's go ahead and head back to um
4841s	should we go to Prescott no let's let's
4842s	change things up let's go to
4845s	uh I don't know where we're going I'll
4847s	find a spot and I want to look at some
4850s	Wares yeah this is good this is
4853s	good look to see if there's more ship
4855s	parts that we can see just at a glance
4856s	at least cuz that's always
4866s	fun so far everything's nice and smooth
4869s	with Lumen
4877s	on of the DMZ that's
4882s	right so we'll head on over to this
4885s	Union GMB
4887s	Branch now it has been a little bit of
4889s	time and I know that we've been
4890s	generating a lot more questions so now
4892s	would also be a good time to start
4894s	answering some of more of those
4895s	questions so Gary I'm goingon to have
4896s	you join me on
4898s	stream awesome nice to have you
4902s	back pleasure yeah I'm going to go ahead
4904s	and poke about and look at some new
4906s	stuffs while we also answer those uh
4909s	questions of
4910s	yours cool um most of these have been
4913s	headed up from YouTube uh starting off
4916s	with basilo mcnight uh who would like to
4919s	know uh did we ever consider a
4921s	possibility that different ship modules
4923s	would give a different bonus to the ship
4925s	uh of course small not to kill the
4927s	balance it would be uh a reason for
4930s	testing different
4931s	customizations yes this was something
4933s	that we had actually planned to do
4935s	before we made any announcements of what
4936s	we were planning to do um and uh the
4939s	long and the short of it honestly wow we
4941s	didn't get a lot of randomization there
4942s	let's try again um the long and the
4944s	short short of it is that we
4947s	explored what that could potentially
4949s	look like having Lumen on showing these
4951s	ships actually I feel a pretty Stark uh
4954s	difference here this is really nice um
4957s	but we did look into that um and
4959s	initially that was kind of the direction
4961s	we wanted to move into um as development
4963s	rolled along and for a great many
4966s	reasons we actually veered away from
4968s	it so um to go in and explain all of
4972s	that would take a tremendous amount of
4974s	time so the short answer is we were
4977s	looking at that as an exploration a long
4981s	time ago and we chose that that was not
4983s	a healthy direction to take the nature
4986s	of what we had in play for aage Space 2
4989s	for the vision so a good question a good
4994s	question nice nice um JR punchi this
4997s	time on sticking with YouTube would like
4999s	to know can you still use the base in a
5002s	location that has an incursion and can
5004s	you to of an incursion if you are not
5007s	into it at that time um if I recall
5010s	correctly we have the same uh setup
5013s	where whenever there's like a side
5015s	mission going on in an area that it
5017s	locks space stalking until you complete
5019s	it um so I'm pretty sure that's what we
5022s	did for incursions as well I'm I'm
5024s	pretty pretty sure so I mean it's not
5027s	like any sort of dynamic system or
5028s	anything like that it's more of hey
5030s	there's a thing going on do the thing
5032s	then when you're done when things calm
5034s	down then yeah you can do stuff in the
5036s	area um I think that now is a pretty
5039s	good time to also mention um on
5041s	incursions there is
5043s	also there we go there's also a timer
5046s	associated with them um so if you're
5048s	looking at this you'll see under
5050s	missions it says event six minutes
5053s	remaining after six missions after six
5056s	missions after six minutes the incursion
5060s	event will basically have been beaten
5062s	back by the gmbb forces at Al station
5066s	here and it will dissipate it will be
5068s	gone um and so if you show up after 6
5071s	minutes here the incursion is not
5073s	present and you all things would be
5075s	operating as normal so that's going to
5078s	be how this works so like if you're
5081s	heading to Prescott Starbase and you're
5082s	like I need to do this thing I don't
5084s	want to do an incursion and an incursion
5085s	pops up in Prescott at worst you're
5088s	going to have to wait like 6 minutes or
5090s	you could probably finish the incursion
5092s	in less time than that um so we did take
5095s	into account that we the way that we
5097s	implemented this is that we want to make
5098s	sure that we're honoring the players
5099s	time and commitments so that we're not
5102s	injecting this when you don't want to do
5104s	things which is why we were very careful
5106s	about those timings so that way if you
5108s	want to do one you have enough time to
5109s	get there if you don't there's not a lot
5112s	of time to have to wait you there's
5114s	plenty of other things to do in that
5116s	middle ground format um that was
5118s	important to us in this design um since
5122s	imagine if the incursion was stuck there
5124s	for like an an hour or indefinitely
5126s	until you dealt with it we just we
5127s	couldn't go that direction it just that
5129s	did not it wouldn't have felt good it
5131s	wouldn't have been good
5133s	so safety measures and precautions if
5136s	you will uh interjected into that space
5138s	to take care of you
5139s	guys there's a lot more information than
5142s	the question initially asked but there
5143s	you
5146s	go excellent uh people would let you to
5149s	hydrate so if you would mind taking a
5151s	sip just to ease your throat
5156s	right water's
5159s	delicious question from sorine over on
5162s	YouTube uh will boss modifiers come to
5165s	legendary hras in the future maybe uh
5168s	there's not really a plan to do that um
5171s	the way that we want to the way that
5173s	we've designed the end game we've re
5176s	refined it um is that you know initially
5179s	in the build you guys have access to
5180s	right now let's use this as a reference
5182s	point if you want a challenge you're
5186s	going to take on a
5188s	rift the end that that's that's the
5190s	story right like you want to go do
5192s	something crazy you do a rift if you
5194s	want to go blow stuff up you do like a
5198s	high-risk area or you do a job you know
5201s	like a bigger job than because there's
5203s	lots of different jobs but those are
5205s	kind of like your two different options
5206s	right you can like have your power
5208s	fantasy or you can have your challenge
5210s	right I am very well aware that like
5213s	there's a number of you a very small
5215s	number of you that still feel that the
5217s	challenge isn't great enough I get it
5220s	not really speaking towards you on this
5222s	front you guys are just exceptional
5223s	Bravo you're going to reap a ton of
5225s	rewards for that but on account of how
5228s	we wanted to ensure there's still proper
5230s	balance in the in-game formula with this
5233s	overhaul of that the riffs have been
5235s	designed to make it more possible to
5238s	complete for those who struggled right
5241s	so now you have the different locations
5242s	that you can still pass if you fail but
5245s	you still get you know a handful of
5247s	rewards just not the legendary and you
5249s	can still open a relic query you just
5251s	don't you know the there's these
5253s	elements that are making it an easier
5255s	entry point right so now the Rifts are
5258s	no longer full-blown challenge mode but
5260s	now it's also a pathway to unlock ingame
5262s	content even if you are struggling in
5265s	that territory right furthermore we've
5267s	ramped up high-risk areas to a degree by
5271s	these legendary elements so that there's
5273s	more things to collect so you're still
5275s	getting this more softer uh space battle
5278s	formula in that mix but has purpose
5281s	because who knows what that blueprint I
5283s	unlocked was I have no idea I've never
5285s	seen it before in my life and there's uh
5288s	a little bit more to play around even
5290s	beyond that these modifiers that are
5292s	added are meant to complement these
5294s	unique play Styles not to go overboard
5298s	um kind of going back to another
5299s	question that was asked about like the
5301s	power creep everything we're adding is
5303s	not meant to just take something and
5305s	then multiply it by 9,000 right okay you
5307s	don't have to worry about this it's not
5309s	going over 9,000 instead we are adding
5313s	more to these spaces to allow for both a
5316s	greater enjoyment of that power fantasy
5319s	and also a greater enjoyment of that
5322s	challenge both of these things we're
5325s	adding to we're not ramping up we're
5329s	adding to
5331s	horizontal growth as opposed to Vertical
5334s	growth if you will cool there was a
5337s	really big answer for that one but and
5339s	maybe it's even answered multiple
5341s	questions there but there you go lots
5343s	and
5344s	lots worri no worries right um next
5347s	question uh both this came in from Jr
5350s	panti and chaty uh one on Twitch and one
5353s	on YouTube um you want to know what
5356s	level are the legendary hras available
5358s	in the game legendary high-risk
5361s	locations can effectively start dropping
5363s	once you reach level 15 it's going to be
5366s	incredibly rare for that to happen but
5367s	it is possible um they'll only get more
5370s	accessible and uh more uh like higher
5374s	loot pools um the you know higher level
5378s	you get beyond that point um and that
5381s	actually Loops into something that I do
5383s	want to just share with you straight up
5384s	is that I mentioned earlier in the
5386s	Stream you can get legendary items and
5388s	Equipment um outside of flying in
5390s	nightmare mode and outside of being
5392s	level 30 going through Rifts this is
5394s	actually a direct tie-in to that so
5397s	should you be venturing into high-risk
5399s	areas at Superior level or legendary
5402s	level even if it's just the superior
5404s	level there is actually now a chance for
5406s	a legendary item to drop difficulty
5408s	adjustments not even
5411s	needed so next question please uh right
5415s	sorine over on YouTube was asking uh HR
5419s	R are they not impacted by the
5421s	difficulty that you're playing on is
5422s	that correct that is correct yes and
5425s	that's intentional design as well like
5427s	if you're looking for those challenges
5428s	to really ramp things up that's what the
5429s	Rifts are for high-risk uh areas are
5432s	much more for that you know let's let's
5435s	play let's have fun let's unlock stuff
5437s	let's blow stuff up you know that power
5442s	fantasy Mar a quick question that just
5445s	has come in which I'll answer anyway
5447s	because I'm just replying to YouTube uh
5449s	there's no level cap increase with the
5452s	with the incursions that it's not the
5453s	intent uh as Eric just said it we're
5455s	expanding the gra the game in width
5458s	rather than than length so yes there's
5460s	no level
5462s	capping oh sorry I got
5466s	distracted what are you looking at there
5470s	nothing I don't know what you're talking
5471s	about what what are you talking about
5474s	yeah what are you talking about uh right
5477s	last question for the time being uh lulw
5479s	over on YouTube was liking to know have
5482s	we got any plans for any kind of
5483s	seasonal content battle pass maybe also
5486s	how about any kind of paragon panel a
5489s	bit like Diablo 4 yeah no um I like this
5492s	question a lot um there's a lot of ways
5495s	that I could respond to this um the
5497s	short of it is that we were very
5499s	intentional with the direction of
5501s	development we took from the very start
5503s	um and as many of you know we are not
5505s	really producing a game as a service
5507s	here this is a premium game that means
5510s	you pay for it once you have it forever
5513s	these additions these free updates we're
5515s	doing this is not meant to be some sort
5516s	of seasonal expectation things like
5518s	every fall free update Every Spring free
5520s	update no no no no no no no no no no no
5522s	whoa so
5524s	stop step back okay these free updates
5528s	we are dropping into the game because we
5532s	can that that is literally the reason
5534s	guys like I can't I cannot express that
5536s	enough did we have to do this no we
5540s	didn't did we want to do this yeah we
5542s	thought it would be fun we thought there
5544s	could be some new ground to explore uh
5546s	we were really happy with the results of
5547s	arms and dangerous and based on the
5549s	response from you guys it seems like you
5551s	are too the same thing applies here
5553s	we're doing this because we just want to
5555s	add more stuff to it it's not impacting
5557s	the story like at all it's adding some
5559s	more lore to some of the story I suppose
5561s	you could say but it's not you know what
5563s	I mean so that's the direction we're
5565s	taking here there's not a plan for
5567s	seasonal content okay the only big
5571s	elements on our radar should be on your
5573s	radar too is is that we are going to
5574s	produce premium DLC and that is going to
5577s	be an expansion to some story elements
5580s	and it's going to be an expansion to a
5581s	great many other things which you will
5583s	discover more in the future when we can
5586s	expand upon that
5589s	so there you go excellent excellent just
5593s	a quick followup uh from chattery um
5596s	regarding the H difficulty uh he says
5599s	does that mean that when playing
5600s	nightmare difficulty the H will feel
5603s	easier than the game that you're
5607s	playing the the it will feel feel easier
5611s	oh okay okay
5613s	um excuse me if you're running in
5616s	nightmare mode and you're doing an H
5618s	like a legendary H it's still going to
5620s	feel like you're playing on nightmare
5622s	mode
5624s	um it might drop two legendaries what
5627s	um so there's some added benefits of
5630s	still playing a
5632s	nightmare uh but as far as the
5635s	difficulty really goes like it's still
5637s	like hras are still applicable to the
5641s	difficulty you've chosen whereas the
5643s	riffs are applicable to the
5646s	lunacy so there you
5650s	go hopefully that's clarifying
5653s	information on that cuz I know that was
5655s	really specific but
5658s	yeah so was that the last question what
5660s	do we have more uh currently y was just
5664s	asking uh future DLC obviously with the
5667s	road map we're looking a lot further uh
5670s	down the line so they was wondering if
5672s	it still planned for this year um oh
5675s	yeah when we have when they releasing
5678s	details yeah like when when we get even
5680s	remotely close to having news to share
5682s	we will share that news right now um a
5685s	big focus of us was like we just want to
5688s	add stuff to deliver to you guys since
5691s	we have this plan of action for the
5693s	future so we're really happy that we you
5695s	know turned our Focus to like hey let's
5697s	just drop him some free stuff um we're
5699s	really thrilled with that it kind of
5701s	works out in our timeline to make sure
5702s	everything come together um once things
5705s	start coming together then we'll say hey
5708s	this is what's happening this these are
5710s	the specifics this is the X Y and Z we
5713s	can't do that right now even if we
5715s	wanted
5716s	to that's just where we're at so
5721s	yep cool EXC excellent we have one
5724s	question that's coming that I'm just
5725s	going to try and get some more
5726s	clarification on um but it's that from a
5731s	player they've will there be normal
5733s	Randomness during the change of
5735s	characteristics on the equipment
5737s	otherwise now when restarting the save
5739s	the characteristics are always the
5741s	same um oh I know what they're talking
5744s	about okay yes so if you're if you're
5746s	talking about like how there specific
5747s	loot that always has to have like
5749s	Firepower first or Precision first stuff
5752s	like that um I I won't go into like the
5756s	crazy details of it all if H if Hans
5759s	Christian's still on the chat and he
5760s	wants to I'll let him I doubt he wants
5762s	to either though because it's crazy
5763s	stuff um uh what I can say is um there
5768s	has
5770s	been additions to the item modifiers
5775s	that will be generating in your
5778s	future which
5780s	is the best answer I can supply while
5783s	also giving you guys another thing to
5785s	look forward to so uh yeah there you
5790s	go there you go I mean shoot I haven't
5793s	been taking a lot of care and just
5794s	looking at the stuff that I've picked up
5796s	but uh maybe I should just to have you
5799s	guys see a little bit more of what's
5800s	being
5802s	added cuz I can but anyway uh that seems
5805s	like that was the last question so Gary
5808s	I'm going to bid you a do and uh I'll
5810s	have you back on in just a a short while
5813s	we are going to wrap up the stream um
5815s	with continued content uh
5819s	showcasing so we're going to hang on for
5822s	next stream to highlight all those
5825s	glorious screenshots that you'll be
5828s	taking because let me tell you what I
5830s	think you guys are going to be thrilled
5832s	with um how you're going to be able to
5834s	do that man that is such a perfect segue
5837s	to talk about how we've adjusted our
5840s	photo mode so um this is one of those
5843s	improvements that I actually didn't even
5845s	list out on what we were going to talk
5847s	about in the Stream today but I feel
5849s	like this is just a really sound
5850s	opportunity like legitimately guys there
5852s	is too much to talk about uh so we're
5854s	not going to be explaining all of it but
5856s	what you can see here is how we've Set
5859s	uh uh a a lot of new factors here to
5861s	help make screenshots uh a bit easier
5864s	for you um and if you don't like
5865s	everything on the screen you can just
5866s	absolutely have this sort of normal look
5869s	that you had before uh all inputs doing
5871s	the things that you require them to do
5873s	but using this now you can see much more
5876s	clearly what your field of view is you
5879s	can change to your aperture uh you know
5881s	all of those things your exposure of
5883s	course um and you're getting all of
5885s	those values directly on the screen for
5887s	you and if you look in the lower left
5890s	down below me look at that look at that
5892s	here I'm just going to move me I'm just
5893s	going to move me you can also you can
5896s	load your default settings to reset
5899s	everything okay you can just completely
5903s	wipe it and start over again and then
5905s	there's also in the very middle bottom
5907s	left there's the save current settings
5909s	so let me just um let me just
5912s	like do do a wonky thing actually the
5914s	the previous look I had was actually
5916s	pretty nice let me just try to do a
5918s	little bit of whatever I don't know uh
5922s	all right and then we can save the
5924s	settings here okay that's our new
5927s	default settings okay so now if we are
5931s	going in and we change all the things
5933s	and oh my gosh this is ridiculous you
5936s	know whatever and then we load the
5938s	default
5940s	settings uh that's the oh that's the
5942s	default
5944s	crap no this the the the current setting
5949s	crap I forgot how to do the thing I
5952s	forgot I forgot how to do it we did too
5954s	much we do we got to go back team we got
5956s	to remove all the things we've done too
5958s	much I can't remember how to do
5960s	it but you can sa you can save your
5963s	settings and then you can load those
5964s	settings uh is it just I think it's is
5966s	it tapping X
5968s	crap I can't remember how to do it but
5970s	there's a thing in here that lets you
5972s	load the settings you say for screenshot
5975s	I promise you it makes it so much easier
5978s	what a great demonstration this is
5979s	absolutely fantastic guys look there
5982s	there's so much all right um screenshots
5986s	though is is one of those that we do
5987s	feel is going to help you guys out even
5989s	further so we're not doing a screenshot
5991s	showcase today in two weeks time I am so
5994s	eager to see the new screenshots that
5996s	are going to start pouring in through
5998s	all of these incursions through all of
6000s	these uh Relic quary finds and all the
6003s	other things uh that we're going to be
6005s	discovering along the way um it's going
6008s	to be I'm very thrilled um maybe there's
6011s	even going to be more than everything
6013s	that we're talking about it's crazy even
6015s	more reasons to have screenshots uh in a
6018s	couple of weeks it's going to be nuts so
6021s	uh who knows you know
6024s	it'll be great so uh yeah so through
6027s	this really encourage you guys to keep
6029s	asking your questions um you're asking a
6031s	lot of great ones and we want to be as
6032s	thorough as possible as we prepare you
6034s	guys for this free update on
6038s	Monday sign is fine here you go um one
6042s	of the things I'm actually going to
6043s	mention and I'm a little bit surprised
6044s	it hasn't been asked
6046s	yet um one of the things is that um we
6051s	have console button mapping coming in
6054s	this
6055s	update so uh yeah I know just dropping
6058s	this all of a sudden right um so like
6061s	these input controls here that are like
6063s	exclusive PC no no no no no that's also
6065s	coming to console players this has been
6068s	requested um a number of times we looked
6072s	into it it was very complicated and we
6074s	were scared not really scared but it was
6077s	really complicated and we were like man
6079s	would this be worth it we have to take
6081s	into account all of these other things
6082s	that are on our plates
6085s	and we went ahead and we did it for you
6086s	all so um there's one little caveat to
6090s	this just going to casually mention this
6093s	here I'm sure there's going to be a
6094s	steam Forum post about it and tons of
6096s	other you know details that come around
6098s	it when this happens if you guys do have
6101s	custom input settings for your mouse and
6104s	keyboard or even your hotas your hosas
6106s	your Guitar Hero whatever it is that you
6109s	have customized your settings for um
6111s	it's going to seem like it gets wiped on
6113s	Monday okay have no fear that's not
6116s	actually the case the folder where your
6118s	input settings are saved is going to
6120s	change so we will give you information
6122s	on how you can just copy where you had
6125s	your specific input settings and just
6127s	paste it in its new spot all will be
6129s	well okay I understand there's going to
6132s	be somebody out there who doesn't get it
6134s	and they're going to be like Rockfish
6135s	games destroy my M blah blah blah BL it
6137s	took me 3 hours to do I get it it's
6140s	going to happen you know and you know it
6142s	stinks uh there's a lot of things that
6144s	happen when you change engines though um
6146s	and uh we're I'm still we're thrilled
6149s	that you're not actually losing it you
6151s	just got to move it that's all okay this
6154s	is specifically for those PC players out
6156s	there
6158s	okay for those PC players out there this
6160s	is I mean you obviously can't do that
6162s	for console console you'll just be able
6164s	to keybind that'll be
6167s	great let's do another uh incursion and
6170s	see if we can get um a new legendary to
6173s	drop and if we don't I'm forcing one I
6175s	want to talk about new legendaries how
6177s	come we haven't seen any of these new
6178s	legendaries didn't somebody say that we
6179s	have like 15 or something I can't
6195s	remembera
6198s	excellent woo
6206s	I'm seeing that the stream is suddenly
6208s	starting to chug a little bit so if
6210s	things get a little wonky uh I can tone
6213s	things
6218s	down oh wow that was fast Wait no that's
6222s	the wrong Beacon it's the one that's
6229s	green well this is a
6232s	fail all right let's try again is
6241s	no good good
6246s	good but you can see um even as we're
6249s	doing this incursion even though I
6250s	failed there um in the upper right you
6253s	can
6255s	see actually I'm seeing a lot of frame
6257s	dips hang on a second hang on a second
6258s	let me just uh let me drop
6261s	Lumen and lock frames
6264s	just to make this a little bit more
6265s	smooth to talk
6267s	about um but um generally speaking
6272s	whenever we are going through the
6273s	process of any incursion it is retaining
6276s	all the damage you did
6279s	prior and you can actually see that
6281s	Health
6282s	pool uh if I if I let this thing live
6285s	but I'm not going to
6311s	yeah
6313s	no we got
6316s	locked that's
6318s	fine whop whoop
6331s	nice all
6333s	right another Relic quary obtained
6337s	another primary
6339s	weapon
6340s	woo 30% increased device damage oh that
6344s	sounds like a lot of fun for all intents
6346s	on purposes I'm just going to um move
6349s	this over and leave everything else in
6351s	space just to keep things moving along
6353s	POS YP be quiet call it not
6357s	yet these poor innocent ears are not
6360s	ready for it all
6366s	right so because we didn't get a new
6368s	legendary I'm just going to um I'm going
6370s	to do that I want to show you something
6373s	new maybe a few things so um what I'm
6377s	going to do here is I'm actually going
6379s	to take a really quick break I'm going
6382s	to uh clear out my throat a little bit
6385s	and then when I when we come back with
6386s	like maybe a twom minute break three
6388s	minute break um we'll show a couple more
6391s	legendaries and we're going to have the
6393s	table open to talk a lot more about um
6398s	the questions that you guys have
6399s	formulated so uh we'll see you in just a
6402s	moment don't go
6404s	anywhere yeah don't go
6407s	anywhere re be right back
6411s	[Music]
6439s	[Music]
6485s	[Music]
6519s	[Music]
6538s	I know you can hear me
6539s	clicking I'm back I'm just preparing
6541s	stuff one moment
6546s	[Music]
6588s	all right we're back we're back ladies
6590s	and gentlemen oh my goodness so
6594s	just a quick break took care of some
6596s	things my throat's feeling a lot better
6598s	hope that you're all doing well wanted
6599s	to cover two more points um just to make
6602s	sure that it's not missed um so some of
6606s	you all have uh just a couple uh have
6610s	commented in various ways about
6612s	legendary limits um this is actually
6615s	being increased um so you'll see that
6617s	we're in a tier four
6619s	ship uh if everything would get out of
6621s	the way there we go um and so that
6623s	legendary um limit has been increased to
6626s	three on the ship itself and there may
6629s	or may not be a way to even expand it
6631s	further which I'm going to let you guys
6632s	explore and figure out
6635s	yourselves um but I also have a couple
6638s	weapons that I wanted to show um just
6639s	because I think they're a lot of fun um
6641s	if not a little challenging to use at
6643s	least the scourge um but it can be
6644s	incredibly
6646s	rewarding this new scatter gun legendary
6649s	scatter gun can seriously pack a punch
6652s	because
6653s	as you're charging the weapon it absorbs
6655s	the damage that you are taking and the
6658s	Damage that you are taking is then added
6660s	to what projectiles will be launched
6663s	from The Scourge if you Max this thing
6665s	out and launch it you're basically
6667s	shooting like a triple shotgun blast of
6670s	not only uh energy damage but kinetic
6673s	damage and then just the full force of
6675s	its overarching damage um it's pretty
6678s	cool again it's a little bit hard to use
6680s	but it's a lot of fun um and I'm sure
6682s	that there could be some incredibly
6683s	clever ways to utilize this in close
6685s	proximity especially for those who like
6688s	that uh inyour face fighting style so
6691s	we're going to go ahead and fly with
6692s	this just feel it out we also have this
6695s	one called the zerk
6697s	Boomer uh this is a rocket launcher and
6701s	this one uh the Rockets are equipped
6704s	with a proximity sensor that triggers up
6706s	to two Frost explosions along their way
6709s	dealing damage to enemies in a 150 M
6712s	radius and freezing them for 5 seconds
6714s	explosions have a 6C cool down it also
6717s	cannot be intercepted this is a unique
6719s	modifier to I'm pretty sure all of the
6722s	um legendary secondaries none of them
6725s	can be intercepted they're all immune to
6727s	that
6727s	inherently
6730s	so going to um showcase these a little
6734s	bit at least where I
6737s	can um we might not get a ton of damage
6740s	from this but we're going to do it
6742s	anyway just just to see if we can build
6744s	it up for
6746s	funsies so we're going to charge this
6748s	thing up and as these guys shoot me if
6751s	they are in close proximity at least
6755s	they did not uh get me hit come on I am
6758s	I am asking for you to hit me while in
6760s	close range come on there we go that's a
6762s	little bit that's a little bit more
6764s	there wasn't a
6768s	lot in a like a dog fight situation this
6771s	weapon doesn't really get that much Boon
6773s	to
6776s	it much more effective In the Heat of
6779s	combat with lots and lots of people
6780s	shooting at you taking a lot more damage
6782s	but once it gets charged up and it's
6784s	charged up to a little bit when you fire
6787s	it
6789s	uh do we see any that were added oh my
6792s	gosh I don't even see a single one that
6793s	was added these enemies are too weak
6796s	what a terrible
6799s	example just going to destroy you
6801s	because of your lack of
6803s	of helping me stream or something I
6807s	don't know um but uh whenever it does
6811s	start building up it will actually add
6814s	Stacks uh of the projectiles to it so
6817s	it's not just a matter of it increasing
6819s	damage it adds projectiles and it's so
6822s	freaking cool when it Stacks uh this is
6825s	also a hard place to show this example
6827s	so you know what we're going to do the
6827s	zerk
6830s	Boomer he was too weak
6833s	all right okay all right that's fine
6836s	that's fair let's go do an incursion and
6838s	do these same
6840s	things let's go do another incursion
6842s	another one I've done a lot of
6846s	incursions uh any
6849s	nearby that's good enough all
6859s	right excellent
6870s	I see the comment liking these new
6871s	legendaries a lot I don't know if that
6874s	was made as in just because those were
6876s	really poor examples of their use but uh
6880s	if you are liking them awesome hopefully
6882s	I can show you how they're actually
6886s	awesome so no worries
6898s	goodness gravy guys are you hyped for
6900s	this update or what I I feel like I've
6903s	barely scratched the surface of what's
6904s	coming honestly it's it's
6907s	ridiculous goodness all of it for free
6910s	right around the corner it's
6913s	ridiculous why are we doing
6919s	this ah so good
6924s	I know we've had a c few questions
6925s	regarding the release obviously on
6927s	Monday um just to clarify we are going
6930s	to be across the board on all formats uh
6933s	and all storefronts simultaneously so uh
6936s	don't worry um nobody's going to be left
6938s	behind as such So the plan is that
6940s	incursions will launch for everybody at
6942s	the same time yes and a great point to
6946s	mention truly so thank you for
6948s	that oh we were getting we were getting
6951s	some really healthy charges there so you
6952s	can see up top where you see armor
6954s	absorbed Shield absorbed see that now
6956s	it's 100% let me see if I
6959s	can there we go look at all those extra
6964s	projectiles so you can see how much more
6967s	it St like in this case of all of these
6969s	things going on it was relatively easy
6971s	to get this thing maxed out so like dog
6973s	fight situation not so much look at this
6975s	weapon what it's throwing out now it's
6978s	uh that's kind of scary I don't know
6980s	what's going on with these three maybe
6981s	they were I don't know they were a
6983s	little uh nervous they were just like oh
6985s	it's first time on stream I don't know
6986s	what to think of this but no it's h it's

7006s	Shield absorbed perfect perfect oh come
7010s	on come on come on come on H
7015s	whatever here let's let's freeze him

7037s	can't find the rest of them but uh I
7040s	digress being able to freeze is is a lot
7043s	of
7047s	fun let's get a little closer to these
7049s	ancient beacons just kind of show this
7051s	off just a little bit for oh this is
7052s	going to this is going to be
7055s	nice yep yep yes yes yes pow oh my gosh
7061s	we almost broke his entire armor without
7063s	even taking a plating off and a single
7065s	shot
7068s	nice we'll just uh finish him off like
7070s	that
7074s	oh yeah that feels
7077s	good this this just a scatter gun a
7080s	scatter gun who uses a scatter
7083s	gun but it's a lot of
7086s	fun and we hope that there's going to be
7088s	a lot of new opportunities like the
7090s	scatter gun uh here the scourge to give
7094s	you guys some new fun ways to go
7097s	about your
7100s	destruction cuz that's really what's all
7102s	coming down to we want the game to be
7105s	more fun blowing stuff up collecting
7108s	sweet loot trying out new
7113s	things oh you're just you're just down
7115s	and out what are you doing over here
7117s	what are you
7118s	doing oh I
7121s	missed some people are just asking when
7124s	on Monday that the uh the update for
7126s	incursions will go live I'll put it in
7128s	the chat but anybody that's watching
7129s	this later on on the board and isn't
7131s	seeing the chat uh the update on Monday
7133s	will go live at 10: a.m. PST 1 p.m. EST
7137s	600 p.m. BST uh BST and then 7 P.M
7140s	Central European Time so uh adjust
7144s	accordingly to your time zone that's
7146s	right so translated that means um in
7149s	Europe it's going to be a bit later in
7151s	the day in America it's going to be
7153s	about
7155s	midday generally speaking relatively
7158s	speaking
7164s	all
7166s	right man I have a lot of gmbb helping
7168s	in this particular incursion this hasn't
7170s	been too
7173s	bad let's see if we can freeze the
7176s	beacon probably
7180s	not that should do decent damage oh my
7183s	gosh we we ran out of energy there that
7186s	was silly
7193s	yeah good point from Wizard Jerry and
7195s	anybody in Asia or Australia Etc down in
7199s	Oceana then yes you will be into the
7201s	following day April the 30 yes thank you
7204s	wizard Cherry oh my gosh I feel silly
7207s	leaving that one out oh my gosh wizard
7209s	Jerry are
7216s	Legend oh that thing has a sliver of a
7218s	hit point left all right all right all
7220s	right if only I would have used my alt
7224s	I've got one question that did come in
7226s	that I did actually answer but again for
7228s	clarity across the board it was from
7230s	sniper nln over on Twitch and they were
7232s	just asking do incursions come and go
7234s	randomly or the ones that spawned will
7236s	be there forever until you you basically
7239s	deal with them they will come and go
7241s	randomly they will come and go randomly
7243s	yeah absolutely we um we did want to
7245s	gamify this uh for the convenience of
7248s	the player um we don't think that it
7250s	would be very beneficial if we lock you
7252s	out of certain areas until you do the
7254s	things um it doesn't feel healthy to do
7257s	that so we're going to honor your time
7259s	um going to allow you the flexibility
7261s	and the choice um to accomplish them or
7265s	let them Slide by oh wow we got two reic
7268s	oh no we got we got a legendary signal
7270s	decoder there we go that's what I wanted
7272s	to see that's what I wanted to see um so
7275s	just for the record legendary signal
7276s	decoders um they drop kind of like a
7280s	legendary but there's actually a greater
7282s	chance for them to drop than legendary
7285s	items themselves so these things can
7287s	drop to give you greater access to
7289s	legendaries without even going through a
7291s	rift without playing on nightmare mode
7293s	that's the Delight with these things
7295s	okay so uh you can get them obviously
7298s	through incursions but you can get
7299s	legendary signal decoders from most
7302s	sources there's a very low
7304s	chance but you can acquire them from
7307s	most
7309s	sources so good good good stuff all
7312s	right oh my gosh I just looked over at
7313s	the time and we are done we're done Gary
7316s	the time is up oh it um one question if
7320s	you may answer it just and I think it's
7322s	just a point of clarification I think we
7324s	need to stress um with regards the
7327s	update to incursions giving uh the
7330s	option to use three legendaries can you
7332s	just clarify how that would actually
7334s	happen and specifically what ship that
7336s	would happen
7338s	um the clarity is4
7343s	um okay hang on a second um I'm also
7346s	looking for a a file really quick
7348s	because I want to see if I've got
7349s	something else to share um sorry I'm
7352s	like slightly distracted no I don't have
7355s	another file well oh well that's fine um
7360s	okay so please ask the question one more
7361s	time
7362s	because sorry yeah just to clarify
7365s	regarding uh how players will actually
7368s	access the increase in the legendary
7370s	limit and how specifically limited to a
7375s	T4 okay so basically if you are using a
7379s	tier one through three ship um this is a
7381s	tier four ship if you're using a tier 1
7382s	through three ship you'll have a
7384s	legendary limitation of two um whenever
7387s	you have a um whenever you have a tier
7392s	four ship like I have here then that
7394s	legendary limit is increased to three so
7397s	you'll have one more added slot that you
7399s	can apply a legendary item in and there
7402s	is an
7403s	additional
7405s	unlocking of another
7409s	legendary uh slot uh through some other
7412s	means that I have yet to explain because
7415s	there is way too much to explain and
7417s	like we're over timetime guys like I we
7420s	got to go like so um but the good news
7425s	is that you're not going to have to wait
7426s	around very long at all to figure out
7428s	what those things are because it's a hop
7430s	skip and a jump away uh in fact we've
7433s	already said it a bajillion times but
7435s	Gary if you want to remind everyone the
7437s	folks at home when you will get your
7439s	hands on this beautiful new content
