| 0s | with the recent update 1.8.1 we |
|---|---|
| 2s | introduced the first step in our brand |
| 4s | new quest system so senior could you |
| 6s | tell us what is new in it and how it |
| 8s | exactly works definitely uh so we will |
| 11s | have this new system that's called |
| 13s | summons |
| 14s | with update 1.8.1 and with this system |
| 18s | we want to bring more flexibility and |
| 20s | more control to players what uh quests |
| 24s | they actually want to do in their |
| 25s | missions the new system will look like a |
| 28s | bunch of quests and for each quest |
| 30s | people can get points and people when |
| 33s | players can get reward like in game |
| 35s | reward it can be |
| 36s | instance of weapon it can be hand |
| 38s | dollars it can be in blood bonds to |
| 40s | complete the main goal uh players who |
| 43s | need to collect 30 points and this point |
| 46s | is collected with a different completion |
| 48s | of the different quests you mentioned |
| 50s | players have to earn 30 stars or 30 |
| 52s | points to complete the weekly challenge |
| 54s | could you explain us how that exactly |
| 56s | works how many times they can do the |
| 57s | quests yes absolutely uh so initially |
| 60s | players will have two slots where they |
| 63s | can select two different quests or |
| 65s | summons and they can progress |
| 67s | simultaneously in this uh two quests |
| 70s | also there is uh the third slot that |
| 72s | player can unlock with the blood bonds |
| 73s | and player will be progressing even |
| 75s | faster because now it's like three |
| 77s | quests can be done simultaneously |
| 79s | after a quest completed player gets in |
| 82s | the in-game reward and also player gets |
| 84s | in the stars a point that you need to |
| 87s | collect to progress towards the main |
| 88s | reward the very important part that |
| 91s | player can repeat one |
| 93s | quest over and over again multiple times |
| 96s | until they get |
| 97s | this main reward so basically if some uh |
| 101s | quest they are way too difficult to |
| 103s | complete player can choose the easier |
| 105s | one and simpler and progress uh with |
| 108s | this quest and repeat it until the |
| 111s | amount of point that's needed is |
| 112s | collected basically that's an answer on |
| 114s | the question how many times player can |
| 115s | repeat the one quest so as many time as |
| 118s | needed and as a desirable player will |
| 121s | get the in-game reward only on the first |
| 123s | completion but after rewards when uh |
| 126s | play when when the quest will be |
| 127s | repeated they will get only points or |
| 130s | how we call them stars there's always a |
| 132s | set amount of quest when are they |
| 134s | changing and uh when can they do |
| 136s | different questions the set of the quest |
| 137s | will be updated every monday so |
| 140s | basically player will have one week to |
| 142s | reach this goal of 30 points and after |
| 145s | this period of time of is over uh the |
| 147s | set of quests is going to be reshuffled |
| 150s | so you said the quests are going to be |
| 151s | reshuffled doesn't mean that it's going |
| 153s | to be the same for everyone or different |
| 155s | per teammate or |
| 156s | how is it exactly gonna be in the game |
| 158s | so uh every monday when a set of quests |
| 162s | is going to be updated they will be |
| 163s | generated randomly for each player so |
| 166s | it's not necessarily that you have the |
| 169s | same uh set of quests as your teammate |
| 171s | or your friend because they will be |
| 173s | different the categories though will uh |
| 176s | remain the same for everyone so everyone |
| 178s | will have quest for one point everyone |
| 181s | will have quest for four points but the |
| 183s | actual condition on uh to complete this |
| 185s | quest will be and can be different for |
| 188s | different players and since we are |
| 189s | talking about teammates here uh what |
| 191s | happens if two players have the same |
| 193s | quest if they are in a party can they |
| 195s | compete at the same time and do they |
| 197s | contribute to each other requests or not |
| 199s | yes we basically uh saved this |
| 202s | consistency from the uh daily challenges |
| 205s | so if your teammate is making an action |
| 208s | that should be counted towards your |
| 210s | progress in the before challenge now |
| 212s | quest that it will be counted uh for you |
| 215s | as well thank you for the great |
| 216s | explanation cenia uh for all the players |
| 218s | there we do have an faq and explanation |
| 221s | blog online that you can read now so if |
| 223s | you have any more questions uh regarding |
| 225s | the quest system please make sure to |
| 227s | read that and if you have any questions |
| 229s | you can still ask on social media or |
| 231s | discord or wherever you want let's talk |
| 233s | a bit about why we created this system |
| 236s | what was wrong with our previous |
| 237s | challenges the daily and weekly |
| 239s | challenges and what do you think |
| 241s | how this will help improving hunt and |
| 243s | how is it important for the future |
| 245s | thank you very much for this question |
| 246s | well i wouldn't phrase that was like uh |
| 249s | something was wrong with daily and |
| 250s | weekly challenges they just weren't |
| 252s | functioning as we expected and uh we |
| 255s | also saw a lot of the feedback uh from |
| 258s | players in the different uh |
| 260s | sources that they kind of unhappy that |
| 263s | they do not have a control uh on what |
| 266s | they actually need to do to get daily or |
| 269s | weekly challenges done that was one of |
| 271s | the reason uh what we saw and also that |
| 274s | the whole uh progress interface for this |
| 277s | was pretty much hidden and it was was |
| 279s | not visible to players where they can |
| 281s | actually track the progress and they had |
| 284s | to do a lot of clicks to reach it and |
| 286s | that was like another reason so |
| 287s | basically we combined uh these two |
| 289s | reasons |
| 290s | and realized that we want to give more |
| 293s | control to players so they can select |
| 296s | what they actually want to do to |
| 297s | progress but also place it somewhere |
| 300s | where it will be easy to to reach |
| 303s | uh it will be easy to read so |
| 306s | and it will be easy to interact |
| 308s | answering the question why we think that |
| 310s | that's important i briefly covered in my |
| 314s | uh answer before because we believe that |
| 316s | player choice is important in our game |
| 319s | uh so control and choice uh |
| 322s | something that we will give more uh to |
| 324s | our players also we believe that it's |
| 327s | important for players to have a goal in |
| 329s | the game besides the uh go through the |
| 332s | mission and in interact with the like |
| 335s | core game loop they also want to work |
| 338s | towards something and get a reward for |
| 340s | actions and while this quest they all |
| 344s | heavily connected to actual performance |
| 346s | in the game why do not reward players |
| 348s | for something that they're doing uh in |
| 350s | the missions if we are talking about uh |
| 353s | what uh how how it will help hunt as a |
| 356s | project and for the future uh that we |
| 359s | believe that we uh with this system |
| 361s | since giving the players goals and |
| 364s | reward and so so to call positive |
| 366s | feedback for their action we also |
| 369s | believe that it will help us uh |
| 372s | to sustain players because they have |
| 374s | something to work towards |
| 376s | and so and this way also engage them |
| 379s | with our game so you talked a lot about |
| 382s | player choice and that everyone can |
| 384s | choose what they want to do in the game |
| 386s | and how they interact with the quest why |
| 388s | is feedback so important for us in this |
| 390s | case because we are making the game for |
| 392s | our players that's why feedback is |
| 393s | always important and always welcome |
| 396s | how the feedback will help specifically |
| 398s | for the |
| 399s | quest system and summons what we have |
| 401s | right now basically we uh prepared |
| 404s | initial pool of quests right but we want |
| 407s | to expand it we want to add more and |
| 409s | more uh different and more interesting |
| 411s | quests and of course we need your help |
| 413s | on this because we we would like you to |
| 415s | share your thoughts what would you like |
| 416s | to do what would be challenging for you |
| 418s | or maybe some quest a bit more difficult |
| 421s | and we need to lower the difficulty |
| 423s | there so of course a lot of a lot of |
| 426s | information we can get from data from |
| 427s | the performance how to players complete |
| 429s | completing this but also uh to hear |
| 434s | great ideas and very um exciting ideas |
| 437s | about the quest what players actually |
| 438s | would like to complete and they would |
| 440s | enjoy it that's also very important for |
| 442s | us because as i said we're delivering |
| 444s | the game for our players first exactly |
| 446s | and with that it's worth mentioning that |
| 448s | we will often or periodically run some |
| 451s | questions on our social channels asking |
| 453s | you guys what you want to see in the |
| 455s | game so make sure to check on there |
| 457s | sometimes and leave your feedback for us |
| 460s | for any quest in the future you can |
| 462s | obviously also do that in general if you |
| 464s | just message us if you |
| 466s | write in our discourse so please leave |
| 468s | your feedback regarding this because we |
| 469s | want to improve the system with your |
| 471s | help we have seen a lot of questions |
| 473s | regarding the legendary quest nine let's |
| 476s | just talk about this a bit how does that |
| 478s | ignore actually work why it's there and |
| 481s | what players can expect from it in the |
| 482s | future sure i'm happy to address all |
| 485s | this feedback and concerned concerns |
| 487s | about quest number nine what what i |
| 489s | called legendary quest |
| 491s | so basically initial release of the |
| 493s | daily quest was uh |
| 496s | done together with the lonely whole dlc |
| 499s | and that was the |
| 501s | nice way to tie them together and |
| 503s | introduce at the same time in the future |
| 506s | as i mentioned before this uh quest they |
| 509s | will be rotating and that led they |
| 512s | always will contain the condition to |
| 514s | equip this specific scheme but this will |
| 515s | be uh all dlc already the players |
| 519s | already own it will be some blood bones |
| 521s | legendary for sure and we just need to |
| 525s | give it more time when when cluster gets |
| 527s | in updated all the time and there will |
| 529s | be definitely more uh quests with |
| 532s | different schemes in the in the rotation |
| 535s | uh the idea behind it that for sure now |
| 538s | it's tied with the release of the lonely |
| 540s | hull dlc uh but in a future legendary uh |
| 544s | quest uh they are part of our |
| 547s | appreciation to the players who like |
| 549s | supporting us because like if players uh |
| 551s | purchase the dlc and uh |
| 554s | and or uh bloodborne scheme we just want |
| 557s | them to give the uh |
| 559s | chance to progress faster but what's |
| 561s | important and i was talking about this |
| 563s | on stream and i want to mention this |
| 565s | once again the quest number nine is not |
| 568s | mandatory you can complete uh and reach |
| 571s | the main goal using the all other quests |
| 574s | you can even repeat one quest over and |
| 576s | over again |
| 577s | so and the whole system is balanced in |
| 580s | this way that it's not that quest number |
| 582s | nine and completion on the quest number |
| 584s | nine is not locking you from the |
| 587s | progression to the main goal it's not |
| 589s | mandatory uh you can skip it if you |
| 592s | don't have skins you don't need to do |
| 594s | this quest to reach your main goal |
| 596s | skins and different weapons hunters will |
| 599s | be rotated in the future and there will |
| 602s | be dlc schemes all dlc skins new dlc |
| 605s | bloodborne skins bloodborne hunters |
| 608s | that's everything will be there so it's |
| 610s | not on only and always locked behind the |
| 612s | dlc so as our last point today we |
| 615s | mentioned a few times that this is a |
| 616s | base of a system that will improve in |
| 618s | the future so could you tell us a bit |
| 621s | about what is expected in the future |
| 623s | what can players at least |
| 625s | think about can you hint us some future |
| 628s | possibilities for this system but only |
| 630s | if just hint because we will have |
| 633s | probably another another conversation |
| 636s | yes basically our uh summons uh and |
| 640s | quest system is just the first step and |
| 643s | baseline for further uh improvements on |
| 646s | this front so while now we're focusing |
| 648s | on the replacement daily and weekly |
| 650s | challenge |
| 651s | uh with a future |
| 653s | big update we will have a system that |
| 656s | somehow related to quest and which give |
| 659s | which will give player the progression |
| 662s | feeling uh even towards the some bigger |
| 665s | goals rather than just 25 blood bonds |
| 669s | there's gonna be some because we can hit |
| 671s | that so |
| 672s | uh yeah we cannot say more on that just |
| 675s | now but uh as cynia said it will come in |
| 678s | a future bigger update so please keep an |
| 681s | eye out and it will be really cool and |
| 683s | we'll share more information on that |
| 685s | later so it is a very interesting topic |
| 687s | to players and also to us to hear about |
| 690s | how a feature video game is developed or |
| 693s | created could you tell a bit more about |
| 695s | how you guys came up with the idea how |
| 697s | you worked on it and what it involves to |
| 699s | create something like this basically |
| 701s | every uh feature that goes to life or |
| 705s | before it goes to development passing |
| 707s | the first stage when we identify the |
| 709s | problem and that i mentioned before that |
| 711s | problem with the alien weekly challenges |
| 713s | were that players didn't have a control |
| 716s | and they didn't like quest uh challenges |
| 718s | that they were supposed to do and also |
| 720s | that was very hidden so problem is |
| 722s | identified then like we are thinking |
| 725s | because um first it's like design stage |
| 728s | so |
| 729s | designers my my colleague and myself we |
| 732s | are working on the initial design of |
| 734s | which we are like preparing the |
| 735s | documentation how the feature is |
| 737s | supposed to work to cover these problems |
| 740s | and actually achieve our goal then it's |
| 742s | going through the uh feedback cycle |
| 745s | through the presentation and then when |
| 747s | uh |
| 748s | design is signed off we basically start |
| 750s | to work on this and different |
| 751s | departments and disciplines start to |
| 753s | pick it up and a lot of coders ui uh |
| 757s | artists marketing department starting to |
| 759s | work together uh to bring this feature |
| 762s | to life because uh it can't be done by |
| 764s | like one person in design team and one |
| 766s | person the code team so basically it's a |
| 769s | big |
| 770s | teamwork and |
| 772s | so yes and in the end |
| 773s | when feature is |
| 775s | getting on live |
| 776s | we not we are not stopping to work on |
| 779s | this but we keep monitoring we keep |
| 781s | collecting data to basically to |
| 783s | uh provide future improvement uh some |
| 786s | tweaks uh some adjustment for for this |
| 789s | feature important part of specifically |
| 791s | this quick feature uh since it contains |
| 793s | uh a lot of different quests was to work |
| 797s | with a big scope of data |
| 798s | to see uh and identify the actual |
| 801s | performance of the players uh inside the |
| 803s | game because we can't say uh that for |
| 806s | one week you should kill |
| 808s | 25 hunters if we will see that one |
| 811s | player is on average uh killing maybe |
| 814s | 500 per week because that simply will |
| 817s | not be uh possible to complete so |
| 820s | there's also like a lot of uh |
| 821s | calculations so basically for some |
| 823s | period of time we're just like digging |
| 825s | to spreadsheets and working for days |
| 827s | there but that's also that's important |
| 829s | part of work to do proper balancing and |
| 833s | but what's more important that's also we |
| 835s | need to be able to verify our balance in |
| 838s | after future ghost life yeah that's |
| 839s | exactly why the testing is so important |
| 842s | and in this case i think we mentioned |
| 843s | earlier as well even the live |
| 845s | environment is some testing for this |
| 847s | feature as well so feedback is extremely |
| 850s | important in this case if you guys want |
| 852s | to hear about more developer insight in |
| 854s | the future please let us know because we |
| 856s | could create more videos and different |
| 858s | topics where the devs talk about their |
| 859s | work and how it is done and with that we |
| 862s | arrive to the end of today's video uh |
| 864s | thank you cenia for driving us through |
| 867s | all the quests and all the explanation |
| 869s | please as i mentioned earlier read our |
| 870s | blog for the faq check back on our |
| 873s | social media leave your feedback you can |
