| 1s | yeah so um we've obviously the quest |
|---|---|
| 4s | system came in with uh 1.8 and you know |
| 6s | we've decided that we we mentioned that |
| 8s | this was just a starting point and with |
| 9s | that update where we're going to be |
| 11s | adding more and new summons to it |
| 12s | including um summons from that have been |
| 15s | suggested by the community so we've been |
| 16s | gathering all of those you guys have |
| 18s | been great at giving us suggestions um |
| 20s | we've been using the hashtag |
| 21s | suggestedquest on our social media |
| 23s | channels um we've been collecting a lot |
| 26s | of data a lot of feedback and |
| 27s | suggestions uh on every aspect of it um |
| 30s | so we've we you know we've taken on |
| 32s | everything on board and we've just put |
| 35s | in a bunch more quests and we'll be |
| 36s | doing more as we continue |
| 38s | um |
| 39s | and then we've also added into the |
| 41s | legendary summons there will be the |
| 42s | option of that blood hunters |
| 44s | so it won't be all tied down to dlc |
| 48s | um and this was something that had been |
| 50s | suggested as well by the community that |
| 52s | you know it needs to be have a bit more |
| 53s | variety into it so we've at least done |
| 55s | this as you know bloodline hunters with |
| 57s | the fact that you can earn as you play |
| 59s | it may be easier and you may actually |
| 61s | have a few of them lying around already |
| 62s | uh also just to mention it's also |
| 64s | bloodborne weapons so there may be a |
| 66s | quest where you have to kill people with |
| 67s | a certain weapon and uh similar but for |
| 70s | blood on the niger's dlcs and then just |
| 73s | to quickly touch on how we're further |
| 75s | developing the system um we have this |
| 77s | new thing that's going to be coming out |
| 78s | in the near future called questlines |
| 81s | now we don't have too much to share it |
| 83s | right now we'll probably do a lot more |
| 85s | uh leading up to when it actually comes |
| 87s | out but this is basically just to um |
| 89s | basically give a lot more uh of things |
| 91s | to do a lot more rewarding options of |
| 93s | ways of uh for us to add more content um |
| 96s | and to just yeah like like with the |
| 98s | original summon system to further expand |
| 101s | on it um and just make it something |
| 104s | that's a hell of a lot more engaging uh |
| 106s | for your everyday play sessions than |
| 108s | previously has been |
| 109s | so keep an eye out we'll we'll have a |
| 111s | lot more information to come on that |
| 112s | coming soon but we just wanted to touch |
| 114s | on it that you know the quest system is |
| 116s | not just it there is far more to it it's |
| 118s | going to be quite a fun addition so i'm |
| 120s | also looking forward to that but we'll |
| 121s | talk about that later |
| 123s | and |
| 124s | uh |
| 125s | let's just take a look |
| 127s | at a small change that we made to the |
| 130s | in-game map screen or however you want |
| 132s | to call it where you can see your |
| 134s | summons so as you can see on the left |
| 136s | side where the cast requests ask you to |
| 138s | kill |
| 139s | people with a certain weapon |
| 141s | those will be hidden so you won't be |
| 143s | able to track that in game just because |
| 146s | it gave people instant feedback on their |
| 148s | kills so you could instantly tell if you |
| 149s | managed to kill a player or not so you |
| 151s | will not be able to track these quests |
| 153s | in the game but you will be able to see |
| 155s | them after the game |
| 157s | obviously like tracking people is a huge |
| 160s | part of hunt and we don't want to give |
| 162s | it away with a feature like that so |
| 164s | that's another change to the quest |
| 165s | system |
| 168s | and uh let's update the community on |
| 170s | some other topics uh we have in store so |
| 173s | we'll have a little |
| 174s | extra tea and update |
| 178s | um |
| 179s | okay a new t-shirt coming |
| 183s | yeah um so yeah so before like there's |
| 187s | one other thing we're going to talk |
| 188s | about um but before we do i just want to |
| 189s | have a quick fly over uh at the topic of |
| 191s | the well the topics of uh future content |
| 194s | and monetization because we know this |
| 195s | has been something that uh many of you |
| 198s | have been discussing for a while |
| 199s | so uh in terms of the monetization blog |
| 202s | first off um the blog actually is going |
| 205s | to be coming out very very soon although |
| 206s | it's no longer a blog uh we decided to |
| 209s | opt for a video format due to the fact |
| 211s | that there was so much information to |
| 213s | unpack in it and we just didn't really |
| 215s | feel that a text version was going to do |
| 217s | it format do it justice so um the video |
| 220s | is currently it was recorded at the end |
| 221s | of last week and is currently going |
| 222s | through the editing process so we should |
| 224s | be able to post it later this week now |
| 226s | um in terms of you know |
| 230s | monetization with content and how things |
| 232s | have been for the last couple of updates |
| 234s | so |
| 235s | one thing we want to highlight is that |
| 236s | we've been trying to put a bit more |
| 237s | focus on some of the important aspects |
| 239s | that we feel need a lot of attention so |
| 241s | the first is the server side which is |
| 243s | performance service stability bug fixes |
| 246s | you know everything like that |
| 247s | um |
| 248s | we've noticed that since around 1.7 a |
| 250s | lot of these things have kind of |
| 252s | uh performance in particular has dropped |
| 254s | for many of you so we've been trying to |
| 255s | put a lot more focus into that and |
| 257s | that's something that is going to come |
| 259s | with update 1.9 which we'll actually |
| 260s | discuss um a little bit later with uh |
| 263s | stefan i believe |
| 264s | yeah all right |
| 266s | the other aspect then has been around |
| 267s | retention so giving players a little bit |
| 269s | more to do during their planes to play |
| 271s | sessions more opportunities to earn |
| 272s | rewards |
| 274s | just you know everything like that that |
| 275s | keeps people wanting to come back for |
| 277s | more more often and we felt that these |
| 280s | have been kind of the vital areas to |
| 281s | focus on because you know we want to |
| 283s | ensure that hunt continues and grows and |
| 285s | contin grows and continues to grow for a |
| 287s | very long time to come |
| 289s | um and |
| 290s | we don't want to be just solely relying |
| 292s | on our events to pull in big numbers for |
| 294s | a small period of time and then it go |
| 296s | back to normal we'd like for those |
| 298s | things to |
| 300s | improve substantially and we know that |
| 301s | we must bring content to do that |
| 303s | as well |
| 304s | but |
| 305s | on top of that one of the things we've |
| 306s | been trying to focus on is the actual |
| 308s | long-term sustainability of hunt and |
| 310s | that's where the monetization stuff |
| 311s | comes in |
| 312s | and we know that monetization is a bit |
| 314s | of a touchy subject not many people like |
| 316s | uh to talk about it you know and we have |
| 318s | gotten a lot of feedback that people |
| 320s | don't really like what we're doing but |
| 322s | there is a reason for it um we'll we'll |
| 324s | get into that a little bit more uh with |
| 326s | the actual monetization video itself |
| 328s | that will be coming out later this week |
| 330s | but we wanted to let you know that we |
| 331s | have actually been working on content as |
| 332s | well but in the example of like bosses |
| 335s | and new maps stuff like this can |
| 336s | actually take anywhere from six to 12 |
| 338s | months to actually complete and that |
| 340s | really depends on the level of |
| 341s | complexity with it so we want to make |
| 343s | sure the content we produce is top |
| 345s | quality so that it keeps players engaged |
| 347s | keeps them coming back for more and |
| 349s | we'll take our time with this and get it |
| 351s | right rather than rushing it out so |
| 353s | that's why we've been because we've been |
| 355s | working with a lot of the stuff along |
| 356s | the side we've put more focus on to the |
| 358s | performance service and everything that |
| 360s | aspect of it so that we can sustain hunt |
| 363s | for a long time to come |
| 365s | so like i said monetization video will |
| 367s | go into a lot more detail but like we've |
| 369s | mentioned before on stream that the |
| 371s | bloodborne economy is not really in a |
| 372s | stable place at the moment and this |
| 374s | unsustainable sustainability is going to |
| 376s | have larger implications on future |
| 377s | development of hunt so |
| 380s | this is why we're introducing systems |
| 382s | around monetization but with the focus |
| 385s | of player choice meaning that none of |
| 387s | these things are forced you do not buy |
| 390s | any of them they're just |
| 391s | in you know there if you it's something |
| 393s | that you would actually like to do and |
| 394s | support us further you know and that's |
| 397s | where the next feature comes to play as |
| 399s | well which is the black market |
| 403s | exactly so now you guys can see the |
| 405s | slide because until now they could only |
| 406s | see you |
| 407s | so |
| 409s | so the black market uh let's talk about |
| 411s | that let's see what that will bring to |
| 413s | the table yeah we'll briefly go through |
| 415s | it and then move on to the performance |
| 417s | and you know all the other |
| 421s | up for you in the gamepl so |
| 423s | uh as we mentioned the |
| 425s | the black market is a new way to |
| 426s | purchase discounted legendary blood bond |
| 428s | content |
| 432s | and also to mention with this any of the |
| 434s | highlighted store items that go out with |
| 436s | what paid 1.9 will also be available |
| 439s | through the black market so they will |
| 440s | also have a discounted rate uh applied |
| 443s | to them i believe the greatest 20 will |
| 444s | go into that uh in a little bit correct |
| 447s | and uh i already seen like a bunch of |
| 448s | people asking today and previously as |
| 450s | well it's uh not replacing the or the |
| 453s | old store at all it's a completely new |
| 454s | tab in the game so it will be a |
| 457s | completely new feature and not the |
| 459s | rework of the old store |
| 462s | so |
| 463s | when it comes in with 1.9 there'll be |
| 466s | three vendors available and they'll each |
| 468s | have their own theme they'll have |
| 469s | specific weapon types and weapon sets |
| 471s | and everything like that so just try to |
| 474s | you know mix it up with the lore a |
| 475s | little bit |
| 476s | each gender will have a limited stock so |
| 478s | keep that in mind it's not something you |
| 479s | can buy over and over again |
| 482s | um all items will be visible so there's |
| 485s | no nothing hidden you will get to see |
| 486s | exactly what's available through the |
| 488s | whole lot of it as you progress through |
| 490s | but the items will be unlocked in a |
| 492s | random order so when it's introduced |
| 494s | they will be there you will see them |
| 497s | you will be given the first option once |
| 498s | you purchase that screen will flash over |
| 501s | and it will open up to a new random one |
| 503s | within the 10 visible that are available |
| 505s | to you |
| 506s | and just so you guys see how it looks |
| 507s | actually let's take a look at a few |
| 509s | examples uh because vendors doesn't mean |
| 512s | anything until you can see it so as you |
| 514s | can see on the left side of this image |
| 516s | we have three different uh vendors in |
| 518s | this case uh with different deals and on |
| 521s | the right side you can see uh the items |
| 524s | this one when there is |
| 526s | selling to you on a low with a lower |
| 528s | price basically |
| 530s | and |
| 531s | as rick mentioned you can see all items |
| 534s | uh in the bundle on the right side but |
| 536s | they will come in a random order for you |
| 540s | and uh yeah we correctly said everything |
| 543s | will be with a 20 discount uh obviously |
| 546s | this these bundles can have uh skins or |
| 549s | blood-bound legendaries that you already |
| 551s | own in that case you will still get a 20 |
| 553s | discount but in its 100 dollar price so |
| 556s | you will be able to buy one instance of |
| 558s | that weapon or hunter for 20 |
| 561s | off yeah |
| 563s | so and then as well if you're if as you |
| 565s | see there there's another button called |
| 567s | another offer um and that means like if |
| 569s | you're not happy with the offer that's |
| 570s | there you have three opportunities to be |
| 572s | able to reroll for it and it will |
| 573s | basically switch to a new item within |
| 575s | the ten that are available |
| 577s | yeah and just so you can see it a bit |
| 579s | better we also have a video basically |
| 581s | showcasing uh |
| 582s | with the example of the |
| 584s | back la deals which is uh |
| 586s | one of these bundles so you can see that |
| 589s | the player purchased the ultimate and |
| 591s | then it shows them another scheme but |
| 594s | they don't want that so they skip to the |
| 596s | next one |
| 599s | and yeah |
| 602s | and it actually reveals some of the |
| 604s | upcoming skins as well but we will uh |
| 606s | show you that later in the stream |
| 608s | obviously |
| 610s | uh but this is actually a cool way to |
| 613s | get the new uh new skins coming out with |
| 615s | already like a discounted price and not |
| 617s | full price so |
| 620s | that is basically the feature uh and uh |
| 623s | one other thing that you could see on |
| 625s | the last image we showed |
| 626s | if you purchase everything in the bundle |
| 628s | then you won't be able to rebuy any of |
| 631s | that obviously because you already have |
| 632s | the legendaries and you can't keep |
| 634s | repurchasing them from hunt dollars |
| 636s | this is only |
| 638s | until you basically get all 10 items in |
| 640s | the given pack |
| 643s | and then with regular updates the items |
| 645s | that they contain will be updated |
| 650s | so yeah i think that's uh that's pretty |
| 652s | much it for |
