| 2s | welcome back Hunters to our Deep dive |
|---|---|
| 5s | video regarding Devil's moon and the |
| 6s | gameplay changes around it please make |
| 8s | sure to follow us on social media to |
| 10s | keep up to date with all the changes and |
| 12s | subscribe to our YouTube channel to see |
| 14s | future videos like this one and today |
| 16s | I'm joined with the one and only Dennis |
| 18s | to talk us through all the gameplay |
| 21s | changes in Devil's Moon so Dennis how |
| 23s | about we dive into it and talk about the |
| 25s | gameplay changes this time around but |
| 26s | before that could you recap how players |
| 28s | can earn event points in the cinema |
| 29s | absolutely so the objective for the |
| 31s | players very similar to previous events |
| 33s | so you have different ways of getting |
| 35s | your event points which is the main |
| 36s | source what you need right and you can |
| 38s | do that by either exploring the world |
| 40s | finding different sources of those you |
| 43s | can also just do the objective like |
| 44s | killing the boss or you can also do PVP |
| 47s | so those three pillars players are quite |
| 49s | familiar with that's the same as in |
| 51s | previous events so are there any |
| 52s | additional ways to earn event points |
| 54s | yeah so we have reworked the summon |
| 56s | system for this event and it's now |
| 58s | called the challenges and they give you |
| 59s | like another way to earn Stars which |
| 61s | leads to even endpoints as well we talk |
| 63s | more about that in the progression deep |
| 65s | dive with Anton but we mentioned in |
| 66s | previous videos that there's a |
| 68s | completely new thing called pledge marks |
| 70s | could you tell us about what those are |
| 71s | and what they do it's the currency which |
| 73s | drives lots of the gameplay mechanics |
| 75s | we're trying out with this event and |
| 77s | basically players can earn these pledge |
| 79s | marks every Mission there's three ways |
| 81s | to earn them so you can earn three |
| 82s | pledge marks every time you play one of |
| 84s | the contracts the first time is if you |
| 86s | reach 35 event points the second one is |
| 89s | if you loot your first Hunter and the |
| 91s | third one is if you banish your first |
| 93s | boss so between those different |
| 94s | activities the player can get up to |
| 96s | three points in every round which they |
| 99s | can then spend and use as we discussed |
| 101s | in a second so are these uh for the |
| 103s | individual players or is it shared with |
| 104s | the hotel so similar to to what we did |
| 106s | in previous events this was all shared |
| 107s | so if one of the players in the team is |
| 109s | doing this then obviously everybody in |
| 111s | in the group gets one Mark so what can |
| 114s | players do with these pledge marks and |
| 116s | how many can they carry in a mission so |
| 117s | every Hunter can carry up to four of |
| 120s | those patch marks on them what they can |
| 121s | do do with it is that they can seek out |
| 123s | special Supply points that we have |
| 125s | during the event where they will find |
| 127s | pledge boxes and these are associated |
| 129s | with one of the three packs we have and |
| 132s | by pledging to these respective pacts |
| 134s | they then unlock a specific trade for |
| 137s | their Hunter they can use for gameplay |
| 139s | so we have three packs total we have the |
| 141s | lunar packs we have the ground pack and |
| 144s | we have the infernal pack and each of |
| 145s | them have their own set of traits unique |
| 147s | to the theme and and the fiction behind |
| 150s | each of them and you mentioned that |
| 152s | players can carry four of these clutch |
| 154s | marks but earlier we said that they can |
| 156s | only collect three in a mission so could |
| 158s | you tell us about that yeah so the idea |
| 159s | is is that you can deepen your pledge |
| 161s | and that means if a player goes to one |
| 165s | of those pledge boxes at a supply point |
| 167s | to pledge they can first get the first |
| 168s | trade by their initial pledge but if |
| 170s | they have four marks on them so the |
| 172s | maximum amount they can deepen their |
| 174s | pledge to also get the second rate and |
| 175s | that means there's kind of a bit of a |
| 177s | replay value you're gonna go and take |
| 179s | your Hunter into multiple missions when |
| 180s | I keep him alive so you can maximize and |
| 182s | get both of those trades and really play |
| 184s | to the advantage of the trades so you |
| 186s | touched on the three different pacts |
| 188s | already but let's dive into them |
| 190s | separately a bit and talk about the |
| 191s | trades they come with so how about we |
| 193s | start with the lunar pack first yeah so |
| 195s | the lunar pack is associated to Kevin |
| 197s | the false Saint you might know him from |
| 200s | the law of the previous events that pact |
| 202s | is all about |
| 203s | restoration healing from the gameplay |
| 205s | perspective or what their trades are |
| 207s | doing so they have two trades the first |
| 208s | one is real is Relentless what |
| 210s | Relentless is doing is basically if you |
| 213s | have a mark on you when you carry that |
| 215s | straight and you get doubt you don't |
| 217s | lose a health Chunk on that death |
| 220s | basically so that is a very powerful |
| 221s | change the Contour is basically that the |
| 224s | marks that you carry on your Hunter a |
| 226s | matter of one two three or four they're |
| 228s | all wiped at that point so you need to |
| 230s | then afterwards get new ones in order to |
| 232s | get the benefits so it's a very limited |
| 234s | power but it's very very powerful for |
| 236s | players if they want to basically stay |
| 238s | in the fight because they still have all |
| 240s | of their health when they get picked up |
| 242s | again so the second trait is if you |
| 244s | deepen your pledge and you get to that |
| 245s | one as well is indomitable and |
| 247s | indomitable is basically a layer on top |
| 250s | of of the first one so they work very |
| 251s | nicely in combination what indomitable |
| 253s | is doing is it regenerates your health |
| 255s | across chunks think of it as a variant |
| 257s | of a regeneration shot that is permanent |
| 260s | as long as you have four marks the |
| 262s | moment you are losing the marks because |
| 264s | for example the first trade has drained |
| 266s | them that power also shuts down so you |
| 269s | need to kind of be on top of your game |
| 270s | you need to keep your marks high up in |
| 271s | order to benefit from this and as a |
| 273s | regeneration shot you have to think of |
| 275s | it like that where the Regeneration shot |
| 276s | starts the region at instantly however |
| 279s | it does so at a lower speed here you |
| 282s | have to wait the normal time for |
| 283s | regeneration to kick in but it does also |
| 285s | the normal speed of a generation so it's |
| 287s | a variant basically it gives you |
| 288s | different gameplay it makes it very |
| 289s | powerful as long as you keep your marks |
| 291s | let's talk about the other side of |
| 293s | things The Infernal pack The Inferno |
| 294s | pack is aligned with Mr cherry and has |
| 297s | Mary ochenko as their Champion so it's |
| 299s | all about destruction it's basically for |
| 301s | following the footsteps of what Mr |
| 303s | Cherry has been up to in in the bayu for |
| 305s | quite a while now they have two trades |
| 307s | as well and the first one is called fire |
| 308s | eater what fire eater does is basically |
| 311s | not to unlike what you see on the lunar |
| 313s | side but bit more focused around fire |
| 314s | which is whenever you burn down a health |
| 317s | chunk you actually get it back for one |
| 319s | Mark you also get your health restored |
| 321s | fully from whatever marks you have left |
| 323s | you can do this multiple times because |
| 325s | it's one Mark only not all the marks |
| 327s | being like like cleared and wiped all |
| 329s | the time however it's a bit more |
| 330s | situational obviously since it's around |
| 332s | fire but also the player can always have |
| 333s | things to fire himself so whenever he |
| 335s | might need some help maybe |
| 336s | ritualistically burning off his health |
| 338s | chunk is one valid option of making use |
| 341s | of this feature there's also one thing |
| 343s | which is really interesting when you get |
| 344s | downed and set on fire obviously you |
| 347s | burn for a much longer time because you |
| 348s | can use your marks to kind of like be |
| 350s | there which gives your partners a chance |
| 351s | to kind of like do something help you |
| 353s | out yeah that sounds great especially |
| 355s | around this event and all the fire could |
| 357s | you tell us about the other trade that |
| 359s | you can acquire by deepening your pledge |
| 361s | to the infernal pack yes so if you if |
| 363s | you have acquired four marks and you |
| 365s | deepen your pledge at the supply Point |
| 366s | what you will get is then a new trade |
| 368s | called um flame touched and what flame |
| 370s | touch does is it basically prevents you |
| 372s | from Catching Fire so you still get |
| 374s | charcoaling damage so your health chunk |
| 376s | still kind of starts burning down a |
| 378s | little bit but you never really catch on |
| 379s | fire so that means for quite some time |
| 381s | you can actually be in and around fire |
| 383s | and be very safe and then together with |
| 385s | The Inferno that opens up a couple of |
| 387s | New Paths on how you can kind of use |
| 388s | this environment and be really creative |
| 391s | therefore new gameplay tactics there's a |
| 393s | third pack which is on the natural side |
| 394s | of things the grounded pack could you |
| 396s | tell us about that yeah so the ground |
| 397s | pack as you said already like it's kind |
| 398s | of a neutral pack right so it's for |
| 400s | those Hunters who aren't really |
| 402s | committed to either side and it's also |
| 404s | one which attracts lone wolves and more |
| 406s | solitary players quite a bit as you can |
| 407s | see they have two very interesting ones |
| 410s | um so the first one for the first pledge |
| 411s | is called death cheat and what death |
| 414s | cheat does is basically it allows you to |
| 416s | keep your Hunter on death now this |
| 418s | sounds very powerful at first but it |
| 420s | comes at a price so so every time you |
| 423s | have to do this you will lose all of |
| 425s | your marks just on the lunar side first |
| 427s | you need to get like your marks again |
| 429s | before you can do it another time so |
| 430s | there's always a bit of a preparation |
| 431s | around it but also if you are then |
| 434s | coming back into the main menu with your |
| 436s | Hunter still being there obviously you |
| 438s | are very short on health like you might |
| 439s | have lost a couple of Health chunks for |
| 441s | example on all of your gear is out and |
| 443s | gone yeah I think it sounds really fair |
| 444s | and also very good for players that like |
| 446s | to keep the same hunters and progress |
| 448s | with them even if they happen to die |
| 450s | this time around but you can also deepen |
| 452s | your uh pledge in the ground effect as |
| 455s | well and what is the trait you get that |
| 456s | and it's really cool the the second |
| 458s | trade like when you deepen The Pledge |
| 459s | with four marks is called Shadow now |
| 462s | Shadow is very different from the FJ |
| 464s | unlike the other packs They Don't Really |
| 465s | build upon one another so it's like two |
| 467s | different things in this case what |
| 468s | shadow does is it actually makes you be |
| 470s | ignored by most of the basic monsters in |
| 472s | the swamps it doesn't affect the bosses |
| 474s | but it does affect everything else you |
| 476s | kind of moving around runs hellhounds |
| 478s | Etc but they will still hear you around |
| 480s | they still react to the noise you make |
| 481s | cake and it stirs them up so you can't |
| 483s | really hide amongst them so easily but |
| 486s | they will not attack you directly maybe |
| 487s | see even refuge in amongst amongst those |
| 489s | hellhounds when they're being chased as |
| 491s | the hounds would then attack the other |
| 492s | ones while they make a run for it so it |
| 494s | opens up a couple of new techniques you |
| 496s | can only get this benefit if you |
| 497s | continuously keep up your four pledge |
| 499s | marks all the time on the hunter could |
| 501s | you tell us as a developer why did you |
| 503s | guys decide to add these changes and why |
| 506s | it's good to do this during events so |
| 507s | what we've seen a lot from from |
| 509s | interacting with the community is also |
| 511s | like that you guys want more gameplay |
| 512s | changes you want to to experiment more |
| 515s | have different angles different |
| 516s | different types of gameplay so for us |
| 518s | like using events like this is a great |
| 519s | opportunity because we can actually try |
| 521s | experiment on a short amount of time |
| 522s | limited time just try things out see |
| 525s | what see what Stakes what people like |
| 526s | what I don't like and what we do with |
| 528s | this as well is that we couldn't see |
| 529s | okay how you guys are reacting to these |
| 531s | different changes are some of them over |
| 532s | the top are some of them actually really |
| 534s | what you wanted all the time then we're |
| 536s | going to consider it like developing |
| 537s | them a little bit further also after the |
| 538s | event so it's going to be like an |
| 540s | interaction for us also with the |
| 542s | community using the events as a |
| 543s | framework for us to experiment with your |
| 545s | mechanics new ideas and if they like |
| 548s | them we stick with them if they don't |
| 550s | like them they will go away thank you |
| 552s | for all the development Insight behind |
| 554s | the trades and on that note there's |
| 556s | actually like usually with other events |
| 558s | previously like serpent Moon and traiter |
| 559s | moon we have some older traits that |
| 561s | change during the event some conditional |
| 563s | changes and I know there are some for |
| 565s | this event as well so could you tell us |
| 567s | about those now yeah so we picked like |
| 568s | three additional trades and one per |
| 571s | packed basically these are existing |
| 573s | trades and they get a conditional effect |
| 574s | on top of that we have picked for |
| 576s | example for the lunar pact we have |
| 579s | picked resilience so that if you have a |
| 581s | hunter that is pledged to the lunar pact |
| 582s | and you're also have resilience what it |
| 585s | does now is it doesn't just like revive |
| 587s | you with 100 hit points it actually |
| 589s | revives you with full hit points like |
| 591s | depending on how many chunks you have |
| 592s | left then we have a self skin for the |
| 594s | infernal pact so if you are have an |
| 597s | infernal Hunter and you also have soft |
| 598s | skin on you in addition to its normal if |
| 601s | fact what it does is basically it's even |
| 603s | faster in kind of regenerating from from |
| 606s | the charcoaling damaged fire damage that |
| 608s | the hunter can suffer so it even more |
| 610s | supports this whole gameplay in and |
| 612s | around fire players or viewers watched |
| 614s | our trailer there was a third trait uh |
| 617s | Necromancer which also changed in a big |
| 619s | way in Devil's Boon so what is that |
| 621s | about so this is actually one of our |
| 623s | bigger experiments this event and it's |
| 625s | kind of a bit like hidden there but this |
| 627s | is something which we're looking very |
| 628s | much forward to to seeing like the |
| 629s | reaction from the community and how |
| 631s | people help you play this what happens |
| 632s | is that Necromancer is giving getting a |
| 636s | condition for the grounded pact so as I |
| 640s | mentioned before this is all about like |
| 641s | also like Sloan wolves and being |
| 642s | solitary and the condition is only |
| 644s | affecting solo players so what it means |
| 647s | is that if you have the Necromancer |
| 648s | trade which normally a solo wouldn't |
| 650s | need to pick because it's for your |
| 651s | teammates during this event it actually |
| 653s | gives you a chance to self-revive |
| 655s | yourself now that sounds very strong at |
| 657s | first and maybe it is this is something |
| 659s | we're looking for to get some feedback |
| 661s | from you guys guys it allows you to from |
| 663s | the dev screen with a short time like |
| 665s | delay to kind of like self-revive |
| 667s | yourself and then get back into the game |
| 669s | however you still lost your health Chunk |
| 671s | from being down you might still be low |
| 672s | health so all the normal rules for |
| 674s | revive might apply but it might give you |
| 676s | a chance to actually get back at the |
| 677s | guys that just killed you so we have one |
| 679s | more trade which is signee so that's |
| 681s | back for this event as well and |
| 682s | obviously gives you a boost on on the |
| 684s | event progression that's not all and |
| 686s | it's your favorite topic I know let's |
| 688s | talk about guns because with Devil's |
| 691s | Moon we have a bunch of new weapons and |
| 692s | weapon variants so tell us about those |
| 694s | the most prominent one is the |
| 696s | Springfield 92 crack rifle it's like a |
| 698s | new long ammo rifle kind of sits a |
| 699s | little bit between like the mozin and |
| 701s | the LaBelle it's a different type of |
| 703s | playing with a weapon it's similar to |
| 705s | what this the Slate shotgun was for the |
| 706s | shotguns like it's very lightweight |
| 708s | doesn't need many trades for you to be |
| 709s | operating it efficiently but it's also a |
| 712s | bit more on the lower end from the |
| 713s | damage side and kind of makes it up with |
| 715s | higher rate of fire and very easy |
| 716s | reloading it also has a very Punchy |
| 718s | sound so it sounds it sounds awesome yes |
| 720s | like as as usual top-notch audio so we |
| 723s | have like two uh bigger variants that |
| 725s | we're releasing as well so one of them |
| 726s | is the Le mat carbine so think of the |
| 729s | lamad revolver but as a elongated |
| 731s | version so a stock longer Barrel also |
| 733s | the shotgun barrel is elongated which |
| 736s | means it's more powerful and that's |
| 737s | quite useful because you can actually |
| 739s | use this similar to like a single shot |
| 741s | from a rival even as a long slot weapon |
| 744s | obviously um you kind of get like a |
| 746s | power of a shotgun together with a |
| 748s | compact ammo filled with a decent fire |
| 751s | rate and that is also the martini Henry |
| 753s | Ironside so the iron side is something |
| 756s | we've also seen quite a bit in in social |
| 759s | media it's been it's been something of a |
| 761s | fan favorite and we also got really |
| 764s | really excited when we first learned |
| 765s | about it it's basically a modification |
| 767s | to the martini Henry rifle that's |
| 769s | already in the game but with a side |
| 770s | mounted magazine that allows it to kind |
| 772s | of Rapid Fire several shots kind of kind |
| 775s | of feedback into it the rate of fire is |
| 776s | a lot faster and it means that you can |
| 778s | kind of Rapid Fire it's a really |
| 779s | powerful Martini Henry shots and since |
| 781s | you mentioned the bulky things there's |
| 783s | also one smaller variant FIFA that did |
| 785s | this updated yes yes yes exactly so and |
| 789s | we also for the first time introducing |
| 791s | custom ammo for the bomb plants we have |
| 793s | two versions that we're gonna release |
| 795s | with this one is a dragon breath so |
| 797s | think of it like like similar to what |
| 798s | the dragon breath does on the shotgun so |
| 800s | it's like even like a little shotgun |
| 802s | shell kind of mounted up there and you |
| 803s | cannot fire it off and gives you this |
| 805s | this burst of flame out and that's |
| 807s | really cool like if you want to just |
| 808s | like push into a room like just like |
| 810s | blaze it on fire first and push after it |
| 812s | gives you that flexibility with the bomb |
| 813s | plants at range and the other one is |
| 815s | called steel balls and what steel balls |
| 817s | do is basically um think of it like |
| 818s | penny shot but silent so it's like |
| 821s | little metal balls and it's all a spring |
| 822s | loaded mechanism right that doesn't make |
| 824s | much noise and you can kind of like |
| 825s | shoot it out it doesn't have Wall |
| 827s | penetration so like penny shot it's not |
| 828s | really effective through walls but still |
| 830s | like you can kind of soften up the enemy |
| 832s | or maybe just catch a one Hunter off |
| 833s | guard so we also have the Centennial |
| 836s | trauma variant and it's basically a |
| 838s | blunt Malay uh variant which similar to |
| 840s | like the the mozina Gand obress gives |
| 842s | you like a good Fighting Chance against |
| 844s | for example emulators so this follows |
| 846s | the same logic as Talons do for example |
| 848s | for imitating the ax in this case this |
| 850s | imitates the slash Hammer so if |
| 852s | nimulator comes your way one heavy |
| 853s | attack with this uh actually kills them |
| 855s | in one strike on top of that we also |
| 857s | have a couple additional custom ammo |
| 859s | variants for existing weapons so we have |
| 861s | two for the packs they get like a full |
| 863s | metal jacket and poison ammo and then we |
| 865s | have for the Springfield 66 we have also |
| 868s | poison ammunition as a new one that's |
| 870s | not all and you mentioned it a few times |
| 872s | before there's a new Wild Card condition |
| 875s | called The Inferno coming with this |
| 877s | event so what is that about as a wild |
| 879s | card condition is something that doesn't |
| 880s | happen all the time which is really |
| 881s | exciting and so something which will |
| 883s | periodically occur and reoccur as the |
| 885s | event goes on all of the maps there are |
| 887s | certain parts of the maps which are set |
| 889s | on fire and that means there's |
| 890s | completely different new ways for you to |
| 892s | move around the map there's also like |
| 894s | maybe familiar ways which are blocked |
| 896s | off you need to figure out Alternatives |
| 897s | what's really interesting about that |
| 898s | part is just like how players will |
| 900s | engage with it together with the pacts |
| 902s | and the powers they get during the event |
| 903s | I think we have a very interesting |
| 905s | combination so now that we talked about |
