| 394s | seen a lot of feedback from you guys but |
| 395s | we're looking forward to |
| 397s | telling you a little bit more and also |
| 399s | um answering some of your questions um |
| 401s | over the next half an hour |
| 404s | so |
| 404s | shall we get into it shall we talk about |
| 406s | it |
| 408s | and i will give a brief description and |
| 410s | then um like i said i think it's good to |
| 412s | focus on questions so |
| 414s | um |
| 415s | so yeah for this event um |
| 418s | as i guess you've seen um |
| 420s | it's all about forage and and and all |
| 422s | the history of ford and everything to do |
| 424s | with um |
| 426s | yeah uh all the interest intricacies and |
| 429s | the facts of forge so we basically |
| 431s | designed a feature or a feature an event |
| 433s | that's supposed to celebrate |
| 436s | everything that is for it and the |
| 438s | biggest thing with forge is obviously |
| 440s | the ages so like you know traveling in |
| 443s | time and and progressing through time so |
| 445s | that was a big inspiration for this this |
| 447s | event so um |
| 449s | i hope you're seeing that with with this |
| 450s | event and another thing is that we also |
| 453s | wanted to bring this kind of feeling of |
| 455s | like forge a board game in forge um |
| 458s | uh so yeah the event is basically a |
| 461s | board game and when you when you open |
| 463s | the event uh you'll you'll see a board |
| 465s | and you'll start in the first aid of |
| 467s | forge which is stone age makes sense and |
| 471s | um you have a little avatar or a little |
| 473s | figure on the board and you will roll |
| 476s | your dice as one would expect in a in a |
| 478s | board game and you will move your |
| 482s | your board game piece around the board |
| 483s | so it's um yeah i guess like the typical |
| 487s | board game set up like monopoly or |
| 489s | something like that you're going around |
| 491s | a loop so yeah you start off in your |
| 493s | home tile and then you roll a dice and |
| 496s | ah and you roll a dice by using um |
| 499s | paper money |
| 501s | also typical of a board game and uh yeah |
| 504s | you move your your your avatar around |
| 506s | completing the full loop of the board |
| 508s | game and when you complete a full loop |
| 510s | of the board game you |
| 512s | travel to the next age |
| 514s | excuse me and um yeah that you basically |
| 517s | do this and traveling through all the |
| 519s | the 20 ages of forge and can you believe |
| 521s | it 28 is a four it's crazy and we |
| 524s | definitely didn't start off like that |
| 526s | and um |
| 528s | yeah you will eventually if you are one |
| 530s | of the people who can make it to the |
| 531s | very end by the end of the event um |
| 533s | i challenge you |
| 535s | um you will end in space age and venus |
| 540s | and you will stay there so you there's |
| 542s | no um yeah there's no extra age yet |
| 547s | watch this space and you will yeah um |
| 550s | continue your your journey in the board |
| 552s | game in in space hm venus so that's i |
| 554s | guess a very high level |
| 557s | description but again we can go into |
| 558s | details in a bit |
| 562s | yeah |
| 563s | should we go into some questions or is |
| 565s | there anything that we can |
| 567s | add to that |
| 569s | yeah i just wanted to add of course we |
| 571s | have uh three fantastic reward buildings |
| 574s | for this we have the golden orey we have |
| 577s | the uh grand king and queen sets the |
| 580s | monarch sets |
| 581s | as well as the stages of ages and we |
| 584s | also have a really cool uh quest giver |
| 586s | this time the forge factfinder who will |
| 588s | not only reward you with paper money but |
| 590s | also some really fun facts uh from the |
| 592s | history of forage so it's worth |
| 594s | completing those quests not just because |
| 596s | it |
| 597s | helps you progress within the event |
| 599s | itself but also to get the factoids that |
| 601s | appear throughout so yeah that's some uh |
| 604s | extra details but we can also hop into |
| 606s | questions now uh the first question that |
| 608s | i saw |
| 610s | was uh from martin |
| 612s | and he asked |
| 614s | if there is still stages of ages as a |
| 616s | daily special um i can't give you the |
| 619s | schedule i love it |
| 621s | i |
| 622s | i know and it's an awesome building and |
| 625s | what i will |
| 626s | say is |
| 627s | it will happen possibly very soon so uh |
| 631s | you know stay tuned |
| 635s | yeah |
| 636s | good question i know that's like super |
| 638s | um popular building it's so it's such a |
| 642s | cool building um |
| 644s | and yet also um |
| 647s | is the first |
| 648s | building um event building that we use |
| 651s | previous era goods |
| 653s | um obviously the the golden oranges too |
| 656s | but uh yeah that was like a |
| 658s | first time for |
| 659s | event billings |
| 663s | um |
| 665s | and also yeah you can only get the stage |
| 666s | of ages from the daily special you can't |
| 668s | get it um from from the board itself so |
| 670s | you really need to if you want that um |
| 672s | if you want that building you need to to |
| 675s | keep an eye on the the daily specials |
| 677s | maybe to to mention um a way to get the |
| 680s | daily special |
| 681s | because it's always different for every |
| 683s | event right um you |
| 685s | need to |
| 686s | land on a chest in the actually there's |
| 689s | a couple ways so we can talk about that |
| 691s | and but the main way is to land on one |
| 694s | of the chests on the board so we have |
| 696s | two different kinds of chests or um |
| 698s | that's not true we have lots of |
| 700s | different kinds but we have two |
| 701s | different rarities of chest so we have |
| 703s | like the rare ones are like the ones |
| 704s | that are they they provide quite a lot |
| 706s | and then we have the the kind of normal |
| 709s | chests and yeah in both of those there's |
| 711s | a different percentage drop chance for |
| 713s | the daily specials so you need to land |
| 715s | on a chest and |
| 717s | to get the data special and you can also |
| 719s | get the daily special if you pass our |
| 722s | super cool feature the daily |
| 725s | goal flag i can't remember exactly what |
| 727s | we called it on |
| 728s | the daily the daily flag um which is |
| 732s | correct really good um it's a flag |
| 735s | anyway on the board um and um you you |
| 738s | basically get it every |
| 740s | every day and it will be spawned on the |
| 743s | board every every day that you you open |
| 745s | the event and it's like it's based on |
| 747s | your on your position so um yeah |
| 749s | depending on where you're board so it's |
| 750s | always it's always fair you'll always be |
| 752s | able to do it if you do some actions in |
| 754s | a day and if you pass this flag you |
| 756s | basically get the the the go of the |
| 759s | daily chest um and in there there is a |
| 761s | 20 off the top of my head 20 drop chance |
| 764s | for the daily special which is a huge |
| 767s | amount compared to what we usually do in |
| 769s | events and but of course because it's 10 |
| 771s | anniversary we wanted to |
| 773s | to boost that so that's um that's also a |
| 775s | good strategy to really make sure you're |
| 776s | doing that every day |
| 779s | yeah and also the |
| 780s | corner spaces as well if you land on |
| 782s | those you get a 5 boost your daily |
| 785s | special for five hours |
| 787s | um so it's good to always land on those |
| 789s | uh to boost your chances every five |
| 791s | hours or so so |
| 794s | that's true actually yeah um yeah really |
| 796s | good to mention that um that's something |
| 798s | that you should really do for the day |
| 800s | where you for example on the stage of |
| 801s | ages is up |
| 802s | or like days where there's a daily |
| 804s | special that's interesting for you is to |
| 806s | to try and activate that because um it |
| 809s | will help a lot so yeah |
| 811s | and also |
| 813s | if you land on it so when it's active if |
| 815s | you land on it again |
| 817s | um it's not that nothing happens it will |
| 819s | refresh the timer so |
| 821s | um it lasts for |
| 824s | five hours |
| 825s | um so it will when you land on it again |
| 828s | it will it will reset the timer so |
| 833s | what else can we tell you |
| 835s | i have a question um |
| 837s | from pedro saying is the stream only |
| 840s | dedicated to the 10th anniversary |
| 843s | primarily we'd like questions about the |
| 844s | event however we can also answer other |
| 846s | questions so if you have something |
| 848s | burning that you'd like to bring towards |
| 849s | us then |
| 850s | we'll we'll try to answer as best as we |
| 852s | can |
| 854s | yeah |
| 855s | um i just saw a question about um |
| 858s | portraits |
| 859s | if we can |
| 861s | that is from um |
| 863s | or |
| 864s | porsche new |
| 865s | i hope |
| 867s | i'm |
| 868s | probably not pronouncing it right but |
| 870s | yes we get em portraits from previous |
| 872s | events yes and so we have one tile on |
| 876s | the board which is dedicated to |
| 878s | historical avatars or or portraits and |
| 883s | and this is really cool and this was |
| 884s | like actually something that um |
| 887s | for example adam um gave us a lot of |
| 888s | feedback from you guys he sent um a lot |
| 891s | like he collected a lot of feedback that |
| 893s | would be interesting for you guys and |
| 895s | uh we did this over the entire event not |
| 898s | just to do with portraits but like we |
| 900s | really um |
| 901s | looked into all the things that you guys |
| 902s | liked all like popular um buildings |
| 905s | didn't you adam you looked into like all |
| 906s | the kind of fan favorites |
| 908s | and uh sent to us so that we could |
| 911s | really incorporate that in this event um |
| 913s | and portraits was was something that we |
| 916s | we had a lot of fun with because there's |
| 918s | so many funny portraits over the years |
| 919s | that you could only get in like one |
| 921s | event or you know we had historical |
| 924s | questlines |
| 925s | and um there was a lot of feedback that |
| 927s | we that they wanted the chance to get |
| 929s | these and so um we made a huge pool of |
| 931s | historical um |
| 933s | historical |
| 934s | avatars so you can get stuff from old |
| 937s | events stuff from from kind of um any |
| 941s | historical uh quest lines we made et |
| 943s | cetera and we made yeah so you can |
| 945s | basically win that on the board |
| 947s | um |
| 948s | so yeah |
| 949s | that's cool |
| 952s | which is about |
| 954s | guild battlegrounds uh and dealing with |
| 956s | clickers and teachers um he says you |
| 958s | know that he has some had some |
| 960s | experience uh in his own community in |
| 962s | portugal with people complaining about |
| 964s | balls and clickers uh what i will say is |
| 966s | part of our community strategy is to |
| 968s | deal with this um on on a daily basis |
| 972s | and one thing that really helps us |
| 974s | uh deal with that and prepare and kind |
| 976s | of upgrade our defenses against |
| 977s | different types of clickers and bots is |
| 980s | when we get kind of very detailed |
| 982s | information reports about the scenarios |
| 984s | and the benefits um that spots or |
| 987s | clickers may provide |
| 988s | to players that could be using them |
| 991s | so what i would 100 recommend |
| 993s | is use support as much as possible and |
| 995s | give us full details uh on the benefits |
| 998s | and scenarios they provide and that |
| 1000s | helps us tremendously in our ongoing |
| 1002s | fight |
| 1003s | to deal with kind of |
| 1005s | anything that breaks our terms and |
| 1006s | conditions |
| 1008s | i hope i answered your question by the |
| 1009s | way |
| 1010s | yep that was that was a good point |
| 1014s | um |
| 1016s | we have a question here from sarah bryan |
| 1018s | are some of the avatars based on real |
| 1020s | people |
| 1021s | uh |
| 1022s | yeah they |
| 1023s | are adam recently just got one |
| 1028s | i'm in the archaeology events if you uh |
| 1030s | i'm not going to tell you you have to |
| 1031s | find me |
| 1035s | but i am there yeah |
| 1036s | yeah |
| 1043s | [Music] |
| 1044s | yeah i have a long way a long way to go |
| 1046s | to get myself |
| 1047s | um |
| 1048s | and uh yeah actually i love my avatar um |
| 1052s | and yeah i recently actually one in |
| 1054s | anniversary event which you can get from |
| 1056s | the questline um is based on um ron |
| 1060s | who's um yeah |
| 1062s | one of the community manager the social |
| 1064s | media um experts so um |
| 1067s | yeah we always try and do |
| 1069s | portraits that are based on |
| 1072s | at least yeah someone is straight in the |
| 1074s | team or in in an external team um |
| 1077s | because it's super fun |
| 1079s | and it's i think it's like really |
| 1080s | important like we there's so many people |
| 1082s | that make for it and um it's kind of |
| 1085s | cool to have a little piece of them in |
| 1086s | the in the game like visually |
| 1088s | um |
| 1089s | and yeah i think it's cool |
| 1091s | tradition also for for the the whole |
| 1093s | time in forge so a lot of the old event |
| 1097s | um |
| 1098s | quest lines and um |
| 1101s | trying to think like nearly all all our |
| 1102s | ages um |
| 1104s | portraits are somehow based on on |
| 1106s | someone in the team um so yeah |
| 1109s | good question |
| 1120s | laurie said i would like to see a new |
| 1122s | event every month |
| 1124s | uh |
| 1124s | yeah |
| 1127s | good feedback um |
| 1129s | i think you know it's a little bit of |
| 1131s | preference because i've seen kind of |
| 1133s | different |
| 1134s | views on this uh some people like a |
| 1136s | little bit of time between events to |
| 1138s | relax and prepare for them and some |
| 1140s | people won't just want more events |
| 1142s | um so that's something we're looking at |
| 1144s | continually every year for a roadmap uh |
| 1146s | trying to follow kind of feedback and |
| 1148s | structure it based on what people want |
| 1151s | um so we'll take that very much on board |
| 1153s | moving forward yeah |
| 1156s | um |
| 1157s | i think actually i would like to give |
| 1159s | you some information on um the last |
| 1161s | building because we didn't speak about |
| 1162s | it um from from what i remember which is |
| 1164s | the grand monarch grand monarch set |
| 1167s | sorry |
| 1168s | um |
| 1169s | which is a really cool building guys |
| 1172s | it's |
| 1173s | maybe for some people it's kind of not |
| 1175s | random but it's new to them but um for |
| 1177s | the past two anniversaries so we had the |
| 1180s | obviously the first anniversary of forge |
| 1181s | and then we had the fifth anniversary of |
| 1183s | forge and now we have the tenth |
| 1185s | hopefully the 15th and 20th going |
| 1187s | forward um |
| 1188s | and we always gave out um |
| 1192s | uh buildings based on monarchs like the |
| 1195s | king and queen um so yeah we wanted to |
| 1198s | do a new version uh this year all right |
| 1200s | so we did the yeah the grand monarchs |
| 1203s | set so it's a set so it's comprised of |
| 1206s | two |
| 1206s | um buildings whereas the the one for the |
| 1208s | fifth anniversary was also a set but it |
| 1210s | was three buildings um and this this |
| 1213s | year it's two or it's i guess it's a set |
| 1215s | bonus for for the the two the two |
| 1218s | buildings versus like a whole large set |
| 1220s | that you might see in normal events and |
| 1222s | it's yeah the king and the queen |
| 1224s | statue |
| 1225s | and um when you when you place them |
| 1228s | together they they give a set bonus and |
| 1229s | the set bonus is like eight forge points |
| 1231s | or something it's it's um |
| 1233s | it's really good and it's one of those |
| 1236s | buildings that on their own so when you |
| 1238s | get just the king or just the queen |
| 1239s | they're not so great but when you have |
| 1241s | them together it's it's really |
| 1242s | beneficial and it it |
| 1244s | has a lot of output and the um for |
| 1247s | example they both give attack for bonus |
| 1249s | which i know everybody is |
| 1253s | fan favorite |
| 1256s | so um |
| 1257s | yeah this one um you can get only that |
| 1260s | you cannot get them in daily specials |
| 1261s | you can only get them from the board and |
| 1264s | you can because it's only for the |
| 1266s | anniversary event um |
| 1268s | it's in the little anniversary gift um |
| 1271s | reward on the board that you can see |
| 1272s | it's in the bottom correct me if i'm |
| 1274s | wrong the bottom and left |
| 1277s | um tile corner tile |
| 1280s | and there's two two chests or two gifts |
| 1282s | that you can get one is |
| 1284s | pink |
| 1285s | for the the queen and the other one is |
| 1288s | um |
| 1289s | i think it's red for the king and yeah |
| 1291s | you can land on those and there's a 50 |
| 1293s | chance uh to get the |
| 1295s | um a selection kit for the king and |
| 1297s | queen and both of them have two levels |
| 1298s | so you need to get them uh twice for |
| 1301s | each |
| 1302s | and um yeah when you land on it uh it |
| 1305s | will refresh and potentially the next |
| 1307s | sorry the next reward is the |
| 1309s | is the the gift for the other um for the |
| 1312s | king or queen so it will constantly turn |
| 1314s | every time you land on it |
| 1316s | so yeah because i know that there were |
| 1317s | some some questions about that so |
| 1321s | alicia |
| 1322s | says the event looks great |
| 1325s | the board design is amazing however i |
| 1327s | like the others i'm very much after the |
| 1329s | stages of ages |
| 1331s | it's a very popular building uh |
| 1334s | she said i waited |
| 1336s | saved all my tickets until it was a |
| 1338s | daily special and had no luck |
| 1340s | um i don't want to spoil for you but i |
| 1343s | will say there are |
| 1344s | other opportunities to get the stages |
| 1346s | which is in the daily special |
| 1347s | um and there might be one very soon uh |
| 1350s | that's all i'll say um so keep your eyes |
| 1353s | peeled over the next couple days that's |
| 1356s | my advice |
| 1358s | totally |
| 1360s | um |
| 1362s | so yeah what else can we can we tell you |
| 1364s | um another thing that's on the board is |
| 1366s | um historical buildings |
| 1369s | and i have another thing i need to tell |
| 1370s | you so yeah there's and lots that was |
| 1372s | another thing that um we got feedback |
| 1374s | from you guys that |
| 1376s | having the opportunity to get more of |
| 1378s | the historical buildings or build |
| 1379s | buildings that were not common that we |
| 1381s | were giving out events or other parts of |
| 1382s | the game to train and and put them on |
| 1384s | the board so we've done that as well so |
| 1386s | i think there's around two percent of |
| 1388s | the board is um previous buildings stuff |
| 1390s | that you can you got from the quest line |
| 1392s | which you um |
| 1393s | yeah we don't usually put in |
| 1396s | and um |
| 1398s | there's also uh resource tiles so like |
| 1401s | tiles that give straight-up resources |
| 1403s | like um |
| 1406s | slicer coins or metals and they these |
| 1409s | start quite low in rewards but the more |
| 1411s | you you |
| 1413s | progress through the the ages these |
| 1415s | resource tiles actually get better and |
| 1417s | better so the higher you are and that |
| 1419s | makes sense right the higher you are in |
| 1421s | the ages and the better those rewards |
| 1423s | get so um every time you complete a loop |
| 1426s | you'll see little and plus plus signs on |
| 1429s | those tiles and they'll that'll indicate |
| 1431s | to you that the |
| 1432s | are getting better every time you age up |
| 1435s | so yeah |
| 1438s | and then |
| 1439s | oh sorry go on go ahead now go for it |
| 1443s | no |
| 1444s | i said what's the best use for golden |
| 1445s | dice and i also realized it wasn't |
| 1447s | something that we probably explained |
| 1448s | which is that there are two dice um the |
| 1451s | first dice the normal dice uh we'll just |
| 1453s | give you a random |
| 1455s | between one and six |
| 1457s | and the golden dice allows you to pick |
| 1458s | your move between one and six and in |
| 1460s | terms of the best use for them |
| 1463s | uh it's it's multifaceted but |
| 1465s | for instance i think if you were really |
| 1467s | wanting to get like the stages of ages |
| 1468s | one day you could use the golden ice to |
| 1470s | ensure you landed on the corner spot |
| 1473s | to boost your daily special chances |
| 1476s | and you know it's also situational so |
| 1479s | you might have a situation where |
| 1481s | you want to get to the daily goal |
| 1484s | and you only have |
| 1485s | a certain amount of dice left so you use |
| 1487s | your |
| 1488s | gold dice to jump six spaces and get |
| 1490s | there um |
| 1492s | so it's kind of there's multi uses for |
| 1495s | it i generally when i play i like to use |
| 1497s | it to get the corner spaces uh to try |
| 1499s | and get the daily special but um |
| 1502s | i think |
| 1504s | you will find various differences for it |
| 1505s | throughout and it's also |
| 1508s | you know at times you'll see on the |
| 1509s | board certain rewards that you really |
| 1511s | want uh and the golden bag is super |
| 1514s | useful in that in |
| 1516s | that situation |
| 1518s | that was actually what i wanted to talk |
| 1519s | about is old and dice because um |
| 1522s | it gives you like full control you can |
| 1524s | pick so like the dice is random the the |
| 1527s | normal dice between one and six normal |
| 1529s | dice and the golden dice you can pick um |
| 1532s | the outcome of your roll and that's um |
| 1534s | yeah that's great because it gives you a |
| 1535s | lot of control |
| 1536s | um so if you wanted for example to to |
| 1539s | only um to focus on getting the grand |
| 1543s | prize as fast as possible or as much as |
| 1544s | possible then you can use the golden die |
| 1546s | to skip constantly six um |
| 1550s | tiles ahead so |
| 1552s | um but yeah actually probably a better |
| 1554s | strategy is to is to use it for the the |
| 1557s | corner tiles the davey special or the um |
| 1559s | the grand monarchs set so yeah yeah |
| 1563s | good point |
| 1566s | actually |
| 1567s | to shoot to you |
| 1569s | uh jess as a game designer whereas john |
| 1572s | moretti wants to know if there will be |
| 1573s | more events with this board game style |
| 1576s | in the future |
| 1577s | that depends on you guys |
| 1579s | um if you like it like we i guess you've |
| 1582s | seen that if you play our uh for it and |
| 1584s | lots of our events um we |
| 1586s | we |
| 1588s | sometimes make use the same kind of |
| 1589s | mechanic for different events because |
| 1591s | that's based on on feedback that you |
| 1592s | guys like them and so it depends if you |
| 1595s | like it and of course yeah the we've |
| 1598s | endless possibilities with it um |
| 1601s | a mechanic like this and i think it's |
| 1602s | super fun |
| 1604s | um but of course we wanted to create |
| 1605s | something that was really unique for for |
| 1608s | the 10th anniversary and like a forged |
| 1610s | board game i would love one of those um |
| 1612s | so yeah we |
| 1614s | yeah that's what we did for this so |
| 1615s | here's hoping i would love to make |
| 1616s | another |
| 1617s | event using this |
| 1619s | and maybe like |
| 1621s | some add-ons somehow make it a little |
| 1623s | bit more complicated or yeah |
| 1625s | any board games out there that you see |
| 1628s | that you would like to emulate and forge |
| 1631s | oh my god imagine |
| 1634s | like so some of the ones i guess we play |
| 1637s | i don't know if we would have the |
| 1639s | the budget or the time to put them in |
| 1641s | um |
| 1642s | we we researched a lot of board games |
| 1644s | for this because monopoly or i don't |
| 1646s | know like um we're games that are uh i |
| 1649s | guess have a looping board and |
| 1652s | are is quite easy to do but there were |
| 1654s | so many ones that we were looking into |
| 1656s | and like also a lot of games that use |
| 1657s | board game style mechanics and um |
| 1661s | yeah there was a lot we could have done |
| 1662s | but i think we went with this kind of |
| 1664s | the simple approach for now |
| 1666s | so yeah |
| 1671s | so |
| 1672s | drew says i love the event |
| 1675s | thanks and then says thanks well thank |
| 1676s | you |
| 1677s | happy that you're you're enjoying it |
| 1680s | um |
| 1683s | and what else could i tell you about the |
| 1684s | event yeah i i would be super curious to |
| 1687s | know where you guys are in in the ages |
| 1689s | like i don't know if you can if you all |
| 1690s | can comment in the in the |
| 1693s | in the feed where you are um like how |
| 1695s | far you've progressed is anyone in the |
| 1697s | 20th age yet um |
| 1699s | i'm not |
| 1701s | but uh i'm not yes right unfortunately |
| 1704s | not your actual game |
| 1707s | um |
| 1708s | so |
| 1709s | yeah i guess i'm trying to think from a |
| 1711s | balancing side where we're predicting |
| 1713s | where you all should be um |
| 1716s | i think you all should be around maybe |
| 1720s | this seventh sixth or seventh |
| 1722s | but yeah |
| 1724s | who knows and obviously |
| 1727s | um paper money you need paper money for |
| 1729s | for for playing the event it's um quite |
| 1732s | simple in that way you have |
| 1733s | paper money is the way to go and then |
| 1735s | you just roll the dice with it so you |
| 1737s | can get paper money from um there's |
| 1739s | another thing i haven't told you um from |
| 1741s | all the quests and logging in every day |
| 1743s | and um also the the daily goal also um |
| 1747s | has a percent a chance to give you |
| 1750s | um paper money but you also can get them |
| 1752s | from little gifts that are around your |
| 1754s | city so |
| 1756s | we created sorry we created um |
| 1759s | event specific incidents like a ranger |
| 1761s | city that are little little birthday |
| 1763s | gifts and you can get actually a lot |
| 1766s | there's a lot which is more than our |
| 1768s | normal events um so yeah you can check |
| 1770s | those out too |
| 1773s | i see from lewis he said it's a good |
| 1775s | event nice to celebrate 10 years played |
| 1778s | eight years myself |
| 1779s | it'd actually be interesting to see in |
| 1780s | the chat let us know how many years you |
| 1782s | guys have played uh and how long you've |
| 1784s | been on forge it's always good to see |
| 1787s | different experiences |
| 1789s | and how long people have been playing |
| 1790s | for |
| 1791s | i also saw a couple questions about |
| 1794s | space age jupiter moon and when it will |
| 1796s | be available |
| 1798s | um i will say very soon in the next |
| 1800s | couple of weeks so please stay tuned |
| 1805s | given all this spoilers away |
| 1820s | how about |
| 1821s | real-time fighting from johnny |
| 1823s | um |
| 1824s | interesting idea uh |
| 1827s | can consider it |
| 1829s | not sure if it's |
| 1831s | possible based on |
| 1833s | kind of |
| 1833s | the mechanics we have for |
| 1835s | and kind of how we've built the game and |
| 1837s | our original plans for it but you know |
| 1840s | always interesting to hear people's |
| 1842s | feedback and ideas for how we can move |
| 1844s | forward |
| 1846s | definitely played around with the idea |
| 1848s | of doing something like that for events |
| 1849s | because events are always quite easy for |
| 1851s | us to do something crazy and try new |
| 1853s | stuff um |
| 1854s | so for soccer when we were designing |
| 1856s | soccer we were thinking about this |
| 1857s | because we wanted to have some kind of |
| 1858s | like pvp dueling |
| 1861s | and aspect so yeah we thought about that |
| 1863s | but |
| 1864s | yeah it's a little bit a little bit |
| 1866s | tricky |
| 1874s | just reading all the comments on the |
| 1875s | side to so many people |
| 1882s | um |
| 1883s | uh ura colorado says i've been playing |
| 1886s | for about two years and a few months now |
| 1888s | that's actually |
| 1889s | a long time so nice one |
| 1894s | um |
| 1899s | yeah |
| 1900s | uh what else can i tell you guys about |
| 1901s | the event um |
| 1903s | oh i think something that adam said |
| 1904s | briefly at the beginning which i |
| 1906s | definitely want to bring home more |
| 1908s | is about the um the quest line like the |
| 1912s | we created a whole new questline |
| 1913s | obviously for the for the new event and |
| 1915s | and we we have a whole |
| 1918s | uh i wouldn't say it's a story line like |
| 1919s | our normal events but we |
| 1921s | as i'd have mentioned we have the forged |
| 1923s | fact finder who is like our quest giver |
| 1925s | and there's so many |
| 1927s | um |
| 1929s | um like yeah fun facts or um |
| 1933s | little like historical information about |
| 1936s | forge and this was something that we |
| 1938s | asked the team like can you give us some |
| 1940s | funny like things that you experienced |
| 1941s | over the years because we really have |
| 1943s | some people who are have been here the |
| 1944s | whole time |
| 1945s | um |
| 1947s | and uh yeah we got some really really |
| 1950s | funny fun facts and also like some some |
| 1953s | some |
| 1954s | information about |
| 1956s | how we work and and |
| 1958s | for example uh we have like an obsession |
| 1960s | with donuts in |
| 1963s | [Laughter] |
| 1969s | and it's every time we do anything good |
| 1972s | um |
| 1973s | the the team is always rewarded with |
| 1976s | donuts and now it's just every time |
| 1978s | there's anything it's like do we have |
| 1979s | donuts do we get donuts do we get donuts |
| 1981s | so it's like kind of yeah some inside |
| 1983s | tips or or um facts about us as a team |
| 1988s | uh so yeah |
| 1989s | yeah i actually i quite like the air |
| 1991s | horn one because uh |
| 1993s | yeah i unfortunately |
| 1995s | joined during uh cover time so i was |
| 1997s | unable to get this experience myself so |
| 1999s | i'm kind of looking forward to hearing |
| 2001s | the first air horn |
| 2002s | yeah there's a lot yeah there's been a |
| 2004s | lot of weird weird things uh ways we |
| 2007s | celebrate um |
| 2009s | yeah over over the years |
| 2011s | yeah that's what i saw a bunch of people |
| 2013s | are sitting in the room |
| 2015s | you |
| 2017s | long i uh i saw uh alan |
| 2021s | i hope i pronounced that right now i'm |
| 2022s | so sorry if i haven't um said they would |
| 2025s | like a chess game event and i also |
| 2027s | wanted to know that because for me that |
| 2029s | also sounds really cool i would love a |
| 2030s | chess event |
| 2031s | so |
| 2032s | that would be really cool actually yeah |
| 2035s | that's that's actually stuff from an |
| 2037s | event that we can totally um look into |
| 2039s | because they're um kind of simple |
| 2042s | mechanics to create or to implement and |
| 2044s | because we have short amount of time to |
| 2045s | create these big events so um yeah that |
| 2048s | sounds cool yeah me too |
| 2052s | so stay tuned maybe maybe |
| 2057s | 15th anniversary |
| 2062s | i think we only have one minute left so |
| 2064s | maybe one more question |
| 2066s | perhaps |
| 2068s | um |
| 2071s | let's pick a good one |
| 2076s | [Music] |
| 2079s | ah now here's a nice question jeremy |
| 2082s | he just wrote it into oh no no i'm using |
| 2084s | it oh no |
| 2086s | it goes fast it goes fast |
| 2090s | where is it oh there um will you be |
| 2092s | incorporating the tavern more into the |
| 2093s | game event aspect i feel like the tavern |
| 2095s | is underutilized um |
| 2098s | totally |
| 2099s | totally i'm 100 in agreement and so it's |
| 2102s | the rest of our team so we are actually |
| 2103s | working on something for this |
| 2106s | and i can't say what obviously but um |
| 2109s | yeah we we want to bring this more |
| 2111s | forefront um |
| 2113s | definitely um and maybe not necessarily |
| 2117s | just in events because i think that |
| 2118s | would be a shame it's a cool feature so |
| 2120s | it would be nice to bring it more in the |
| 2121s | forefront in general so yeah we are yeah |
| 2124s | we're looking into this um quite soon so |
| 2127s | yeah |
| 2128s | again watch watch this face i feel like |
| 2130s | we're always saying this stay tuned |
| 2138s | i think that's it |
| 2140s | yeah do you have time for one more or is |
| 2142s | it |
| 2146s | i guess we have time for one more |
| 2153s | sean sean great name irish um |
| 2157s | said will you consider a new type of |
| 2159s | fighting space combat |
| 2161s | um |
| 2162s | also cool idea |
| 2164s | we kind of have this kind of not really |
| 2166s | um in the space ages but we |
| 2170s | these are kind of things that we |
| 2171s | potentially won't change the core |
| 2174s | fighting system again i would never say |
| 2176s | never um but |
| 2178s | these are kinds of stuff that we can |
| 2180s | totally um or we like to look at for uh |
| 2182s | things like settlements or outposts or |
| 2184s | um |
| 2186s | even events so like creating new fun um |
| 2190s | systems or or different ways of doing |
| 2192s | stuff than than the normal um forge way |
| 2195s | so yeah again |
| 2197s | watch this space but i am right now i |
| 2199s | don't have anything off top of my head |
| 2200s | like real concrete answers give you but |
| 2202s | yeah it's we're always interested in |
| 2205s | your ideas um as a community manager |
| 2207s | yeah we love people to get involved and |
| 2210s | bring these discussions forwards and all |
| 2211s | these unique ideas so i encourage you |
| 2213s | get involved in your community and get |
| 2215s | the discussion going and uh we'll be |
| 2217s | watching and uh hopefully you know |
| 2219s | we can apply some of these ideas in the |
| 2221s | future so |
| 2222s | totally yeah |
| 2226s | cool then i guess we will |
| 2228s | wish you a very nice day |
| 2232s | and i hope yeah continue enjoying the |
| 2234s | event |
| 2237s | and just we'll sign off from here |
| 2240s | it's great to answer your questions |
| 2241s | again and uh 10 more years to forge yeah |
| 2245s | true |
| 2245s | happy birthday porge |
| 2249s | all right see you guys |
| 2251s | bye |
| 2290s | you |
