| 572s | a bit of the community side with rick so |
| 575s | we have quite a few topics to talk about |
| 577s | today and yeah let's dive into it |
| 580s | the very first topic is uh a personal |
| 582s | favorite uh |
| 583s | which is about our recent merch stuff |
| 586s | and i asked people to send me pictures |
| 588s | of them in our merch items especially |
| 591s | the cool text here shirt which was born |
| 593s | on this that stream and uh many people |
| 596s | did so so uh let's just go through that |
| 598s | very quickly |
| 599s | first of all surprising how this one |
| 601s | took off really but it's awesome that it |
| 603s | did |
| 604s | yeah it's like quite funny i think and |
| 605s | it's nice to see like uh things from the |
| 608s | stream turning into memes uh or us |
| 610s | turning into memes too it's |
| 612s | it's kind of surreal but funny yeah |
| 614s | yeah cool yeah but first of all we |
| 616s | wanted to shout out peanut tv and felish |
| 619s | as they were uh giving us a small idea |
| 622s | to have a design like this so uh thank |
| 624s | you guys i hope you already received our |
| 626s | little gift in the mail but i thought |
| 628s | it's on the way uh as comfort by our |
| 630s | merch team so you should have it soon |
| 632s | and let's look at some other awesome uh |
| 635s | hunt players cranky sk looking good in |

| 661s | woodrow it is you |
| 663s | so keep going there ben yeah i promised |

| 666s | always think road did everyone that |
| 668s | didn't have the tax t-shirt but another |
| 670s | handshake so this is actually i think |
| 672s | rick's idea the hunt given ticket sure |
| 675s | yes that was my idea that we created for |
| 677s | the third anniversary uh |
| 679s | last year but uh yeah i was very happy |
| 681s | well granted the credit goes to the |
| 682s | community for actually coming up with it |
| 684s | i just kind of pulled and went hey we |
| 686s | should put that on the t-shirt seeing as |
| 687s | though everybody says it so |
| 689s | yeah that was the t-shirt that came from |
| 692s | yeah so an obvious kitterra |
| 694s | who made the very first hand cosplay |
| 695s | that we've seen and also partner check |
| 698s | her out |
| 699s | awesome streamer |

| 731s | it away eric uh your shirt is very |
| 733s | popular |
| 734s | apparently it was at least last year |
| 736s | anyway |
| 738s | and then ziggler's mostly |
| 740s | the funny tag with this was that he went |
| 742s | running with this and it did not help uh |
| 744s | to his adrenaline at all so yeah but you |
| 747s | know thanks for still uh sharing it with |
| 749s | us uh zigsman so a very good shirt for |

| 780s | more ideas so please make sure to send |
| 782s | them our way and uh just as well a huge |
| 784s | shout out to our graphic designers for |
| 785s | creating all of these awesome shirts for |
| 787s | us |
| 788s | yeah and uh just so you guys know we |
| 790s | have almost one design of shirt coming |
| 792s | out every week now so just keep checking |
| 794s | that amazon store and uh if you see |
| 796s | anything cool might as well get it i i'm |
| 799s | also getting a bunch because uh there's |
| 801s | some really cool design like this |
| 802s | emulator one i really love actually so |
| 805s | yeah |
| 807s | but that's it about the little merge |
| 808s | plug just because i promised to you guys |
| 811s | uh but let's dive into uh update 1.9 and |
| 815s | uh |
| 816s | yeah let's update everyone on the bugs |
| 819s | and uh what happened recently in that |
| 821s | regard |
| 822s | yeah so um we know that there have been |
| 825s | uh quite a lot of precision bugs over |
| 827s | the last while um we've been listening |
| 829s | to your guys feedback and we |
| 832s | really kind of took it upon ourselves |
| 833s | with update 1.9 to make sure that we did |
| 836s | as much as we could um and went above |
| 838s | and beyond in terms of the amount of bug |
| 840s | fixes we understand that we needed a |
| 842s | little bit of a take a step back and |
| 844s | have a bit of a health check on the game |
| 845s | kind of make sure that we were in a |
| 847s | really really good place um so one of |
| 849s | the first avenues that we took was this |
| 851s | was the bug fixes and in this update and |
| 854s | through the patch notes you will see |
| 855s | that we have an extensive list of bug |
| 858s | fixes it's actually probably one of our |
| 860s | longest links list of buffixes in quite |
| 862s | a while so we're hoping that this should |
| 865s | be a good step in the right direction |
| 868s | towards improving |
| 869s | a lot of different aspects of the game |
| 871s | so that's the first thing anyway um |
| 874s | next though we want to kind of talk on |
| 875s | one that has existed in the last couple |
| 878s | of weeks um the map book as i'm sure |
| 880s | everybody is familiar with now |
| 882s | so |
| 883s | we we've communicated on this we we gave |
| 886s | as many as much detail as we could |
| 888s | throughout that the course of the last |
| 889s | week on this topic um and we tried to |
| 891s | explain that |
| 893s | you know we looked through a lot of |
| 894s | different avenues when it came to trying |
| 896s | to resolve this um bug as quickly as |
| 898s | possible unfortunately it wasn't an easy |
| 900s | one um we had a number of different |
| 902s | options we looked at the possibility of |
| 904s | like partially removing it or fully |
| 907s | removing it um we looked at uh trying to |
| 910s | you know trying to see if we could |
| 912s | actually fix the bug itself that was |
| 914s | created with the last update |
| 916s | um but uh ultimately it turned out that |
| 919s | our best course of action was to roll |
| 921s | back the bug fix that actually caught |
| 924s | the reason for this is that if we had |
| 925s | gone down the route of a partial um |
| 927s | removal which um it would have it would |
| 930s | have involved a small bit of downtime |
| 932s | but it actually wouldn't have fully |
| 934s | removed it from the game it would have |
| 935s | been possible to access the weapon |
| 937s | through things like quick play through |
| 940s | the recruiter hunters through |
| 942s | legendaries and through the spawns in |
| 944s | game so we felt that while it could |
| 946s | potentially stop at least one aspect of |
| 948s | it |
| 949s | it wasn't going to solve the bigger |
| 951s | problem it wasn't going to cause uh much |
| 954s | of a difference because of the other |
| 956s | avenues that were available |
| 958s | the full removal involved did a lot of |
| 962s | removal of the gun from everywhere in |
| 964s | the kit so it would have been a very |
| 966s | meticulous time consuming to get it from |
| 968s | like every aspect and we also weren't |
| 971s | really 100 certain on the |
| 973s | impacts that that could have on a number |
| 975s | of different systems it's not something |
| 977s | that we've had to do before so we were a |
| 979s | bit unsure if that would be the test |
| 981s | force of action |
| 983s | so ultimately after going through all of |
| 985s | this for a couple of days we did decide |
| 986s | to revert the bug fix um that caused it |
| 989s | and it was related to the fix for single |
| 991s | shot uh rifles that you couldn't reload |
| 994s | them after you tried to switch ammo |
| 997s | while vaulting or quickly switching the |
| 999s | weapons |
| 1000s | um but |
| 1002s | some news the main news on all of this |
| 1004s | is that with update 1.9 |
| 1006s | the bugs that ended up coming from this |
| 1008s | and causing this problem they're all |
| 1010s | going to be resolved so um our qa guys |
| 1013s | were talking to us today about it and |
| 1015s | advised that the one the single shot |
| 1017s | reload issue is going to be resolved |
| 1020s | um and it's not going to cause the lamp |
| 1022s | bug to come back again um and there are |
| 1024s | some other aspects some of the little |
| 1026s | bugs that we're tied into as well that |
| 1027s | should still be fixed with update 1.9 |
| 1030s | so that's a little update well when i |
| 1032s | say little but that's a little update we |
| 1033s | wanted to give on that um we do |
| 1035s | appreciate your patience with us during |
| 1036s | that we know it was incredibly |
| 1037s | frustrating um and you know any |
| 1041s | situation like this we're always going |
| 1042s | to learn from it to see exactly how we |
| 1043s | can do better the next time |
| 1045s | exactly and uh just because you |
| 1047s | mentioned that we have another bug fix |
| 1049s | or a lot of other bug fixes in this |
| 1050s | update we wanted to highlight one very |
| 1053s | very important one which will |
| 1055s | be a |
| 1056s | small change to movement and rick will |
| 1058s | explain us how will that exactly work |
| 1060s | and trust me this will have a huge |
| 1062s | impact |
| 1063s | so we we call this player movement |
| 1065s | changes but essentially what this |
| 1067s | relates to are the decent issues that |
| 1069s | many of you have reported and talked |
| 1071s | about over |
| 1074s | the last while |
| 1075s | so essentially we've made two |
| 1078s | improvements that we're hoping are going |
| 1080s | to make a big difference to desync one |
| 1083s | is a local improvement and the other is |
| 1085s | a remote improvement now to extend these |
| 1087s | a local improvement refers to the |
| 1089s | improvements relating to your hunter on |
| 1090s | the client so what we've done is we've |
| 1092s | improved the error correction in the |
| 1094s | game which should allow for faster and |
| 1096s | fairer feedback in those instances where |
| 1098s | desync is going to really occur the |
| 1101s | overall aim is going to be to reduce the |
| 1103s | instances of abrupt and unexpected |
| 1105s | teleports |
| 1106s | but it's important to note that bad |
| 1108s | connectivity latency other network |
| 1110s | interrupts they may still cause things |
| 1113s | like this so it's important to keep in |
| 1114s | mind it is not going to remove every |
| 1117s | aspect of it if there is a network issue |
| 1119s | somewhere it could |
| 1120s | still happen but the overall aim with |
| 1123s | this is that from your perspective it |
| 1124s | will feel much faster much fairer with |
| 1126s | your actions and it will take into |
| 1128s | account what you're doing a bit more uh |
| 1130s | a bit more frequently |
| 1132s | with the remote uh improvements then |
| 1133s | these refer to every other hunter in the |
| 1136s | match um so these the improvements then |
| 1139s | will be aimed at kind of ensuring the |
| 1140s | server's entity position is more |
| 1142s | accurate so the server registers exactly |
| 1144s | where the other hunters are in a more |
| 1146s | accurate fashion |
| 1147s | so with this it should adjust for |
| 1149s | discrepancies and just overall improve |
| 1152s | the interactions that you have with |
| 1154s | enemy hunters and it specifically this |
| 1156s | will be effective in instances where |
| 1157s | hunters can't be revived or looted and |
| 1160s | these instances were happening because |
| 1162s | of the the body registering in a |
| 1164s | different position on the client when |
| 1165s | compared to the server so we should see |
| 1167s | that a lot of difference uh in that |
| 1169s | things will be a bit more in line and |
| 1171s | you should encounter these issues a hell |
| 1172s | of a lot less |
| 1174s | so we know this has been a big topic |
| 1175s | within the community and especially over |
| 1176s | the last couple of months we have been |
| 1178s | listening to you on it so we did |
| 1179s | actually we did try to do something for |
| 1181s | this |
| 1182s | your feedback is going to be vital on |
| 1184s | this though um so please make sure that |
| 1187s | you uh get on the one it's once is on |
| 1189s | test server get on test server and try |
| 1190s | it out and make sure that we get in uh |
| 1193s | decent feedback to make sure that you |
| 1195s | know this works the way it's supposed to |
| 1197s | so um you know our tests have shown that |
| 1199s | there's improvements but |
| 1201s | really what it comes down to is you guys |
| 1202s | stressing the hell out of it to make |
| 1203s | sure |
| 1205s | that we've done the best we can and if |
| 1207s | need be do more if possible yeah just to |
| 1210s | stop |
| 1211s | you there for a minute some people like |
| 1213s | you have some crackling in the mic maybe |
| 1215s | if you can just reset if you have nvidia |
| 1216s | voice or something uh yeah we can hear |
| 1219s | you but it's like sometimes cuts out for |
| 1221s | a second |
| 1222s | uh and uh meanwhile uh |
| 1225s | as i see people talking youtube chat we |
| 1227s | do actually see you guys and we will |
| 1229s | definitely have a dedicated q a section |
| 1231s | at the very end of the stream as always |
| 1233s | where we will uh answer your questions |
| 1236s | from facebook youtube or twitch as well |
| 1239s | so uh please try to keep the bigger |
| 1241s | questions until then but if you have a |
| 1243s | question about the topic we are talking |
| 1245s | about we can always uh try to catch your |
| 1248s | question and answer that right there |
| 1252s | yeah and uh |
| 1255s | yeah uh |
| 1256s | if we can test if it's working yeah |
| 1259s | yeah it says my mic is working any |
| 1260s | better now i've reduced it a bit so |
| 1263s | so far it sounds good uh i'll let you |
| 1265s | know if |
| 1267s | maybe just don't talk too loud or |
| 1269s | something it was like maybe like peeking |
| 1271s | or something and uh with that said let's |
| 1273s | uh |
| 1274s | go into the new features uh we have it |
| 1277s | we'll still talk about it with rick and |
| 1279s | uh there's multiple of this as well so |
| 1281s | let's look at the new summons we are |
| 1283s | adding with uh 1.9 |
| 1287s | yeah so um we've obviously the quest |
| 1289s | system came in with uh 1.8 and you know |
| 1292s | we've decided that we we mentioned that |
| 1294s | this was just a starting point and with |
| 1295s | every update where we're going to be |
| 1296s | adding more and new summons to it |
| 1298s | including um summons from that have been |
| 1300s | suggested by the community so we've been |
| 1302s | gathering all of those you guys have |
| 1304s | been great at giving us suggestions um |
| 1306s | we've been using the hashtag |
| 1307s | suggestedquest on our social media |
| 1309s | channels |
| 1310s | we've been collecting a lot of data a |
| 1312s | lot of feedback and suggestions uh on |
| 1314s | every aspect of it |
| 1316s | so we've |
| 1317s | you know we've taken on everything on |
| 1318s | board and we've just put in a bunch more |
| 1321s | quests and we'll be doing more as we |
| 1323s | continue |
| 1324s | um |
| 1325s | and then we've also added into the |
| 1326s | legendary summons there will be the |
| 1328s | option of that bloodbound hunters |
| 1330s | so it won't be all tied down to dlc |
| 1332s | members um and this was something that |
| 1335s | had been suggested as well by the |
| 1337s | community that you know it needs to be |
| 1338s | have a bit more variety into it so we've |
| 1340s | at least done this as you know club |
| 1343s | hunters with the fact that you can earn |
| 1344s | as you play it may be easier and you may |
| 1346s | actually have a few of them lying around |
| 1348s | already also just to mention it's also |
| 1349s | bloodborne weapons so there may be a |
| 1351s | quest where you have to kill people with |
| 1353s | a certain weapon and uh similar but for |
| 1355s | bloodborne the niger's dlcs |
| 1359s | yep and then just to quickly touch on |
| 1362s | how we're further developing the quest |
| 1363s | system um we have this new thing that's |
| 1366s | going to be coming out in the near |
| 1367s | future called questlines |
| 1369s | um now we don't have too much to share |
| 1370s | it right now we'll probably do a lot |
| 1372s | more uh leading up to when it actually |
| 1374s | comes out but this is basically just to |
| 1377s | um basically give a lot more uh of |
| 1379s | things to do a lot more rewarding |
| 1381s | options ways of for us to add more |
| 1383s | content um and to just yeah like like |
| 1386s | with the original summon system to |
| 1388s | further expand on it um and just make it |
| 1391s | something that's a hell of a lot more |
| 1393s | engaging uh for your everyday play |
| 1395s | sessions than previously has been |
| 1397s | so keep an eye out we'll we'll have a |
| 1399s | lot more information to come on that |
| 1400s | coming soon but we just wanted to touch |
| 1402s | on it that you know the quest system is |
| 1403s | not just it there is far more to it it's |
| 1406s | going to be quite a fun addition so i'm |
| 1407s | also looking forward to that but we'll |
| 1409s | talk about that later |
| 1411s | and |
| 1412s | uh |
| 1413s | let's just take a look |
| 1415s | at a small change that we made to the |
| 1418s | in-game map screen or however you want |
| 1420s | to call it where you can see your |
| 1421s | summons so as you can see on the left |
| 1424s | side where the cast requests ask you to |
| 1426s | kill people with a certain weapon |
| 1429s | those will be hidden so you won't be |
| 1431s | able to track that in game just because |
| 1433s | it gave people instant feedback on their |
| 1436s | kills so you could instantly tell if you |
| 1437s | managed to kill a player or not so you |
| 1439s | will not be able to track these quests |
| 1441s | in the game but you will be able to see |
| 1443s | them after the game |
| 1445s | obviously like tracking people is a huge |
| 1447s | part of hunt and |
| 1449s | we don't want to give it away with a |
| 1450s | feature like that so that's another |
| 1452s | change to the quest system |
| 1456s | and uh let's update the community on |
| 1458s | some other topics uh we have in store so |
| 1461s | we'll have a clear |
| 1462s | strategy and update |
| 1466s | um |
| 1467s | okay a new t-shirt coming |
| 1471s | yeah um so yeah so before like there's |
| 1474s | one other thing we're going to talk |
| 1475s | about um but before we do i just want to |
| 1477s | have a quick fly over uh at the topic of |
| 1479s | the well the topics of uh future content |
| 1482s | and monetization because we know this |
| 1483s | has been something that uh many of you |
| 1485s | have been discussing for a while |
| 1487s | so uh in terms of the monetization blog |
| 1490s | first off um the blog actually is going |
| 1492s | to be coming out very very soon although |
| 1494s | it's no longer a blog uh we decided to |
| 1497s | opt for a video format due to the fact |
| 1499s | that there was so much information to |
| 1501s | unpack in it and we just didn't really |
| 1503s | feel that a text version was going to do |
| 1505s | it format do it justice so um the video |
| 1508s | is currently it was recorded at the end |
| 1509s | of last week and is currently going |
| 1510s | through the editing process so we should |
| 1512s | be able to post it later this week |
| 1514s | now um in terms of |
| 1516s | you know |
| 1518s | monetization with content and how things |
| 1520s | have been for the last couple of updates |
| 1521s | so well one thing we want to highlight |
| 1524s | is that we've been trying to put a bit |
| 1525s | more focus on some of the important |
| 1527s | aspects that we feel need a lot of |
| 1528s | attention so the first is the server |
| 1530s | side which is performance service |
| 1532s | stability bug fixes you know everything |
| 1534s | like that |
| 1535s | um |
| 1536s | we've noticed that since around 1.7 a |
| 1538s | lot of these things have kind of |
| 1540s | uh performance in particular has dropped |
| 1542s | for many of you so we've been trying to |
| 1543s | put a lot more focus into that and |
| 1545s | that's something that is going to come |
| 1546s | with update 1.9 which we'll actually |
| 1548s | discuss um a little bit later with uh |
| 1551s | stefan i believe |
| 1552s | yeah all right |
| 1554s | the other aspect then has been around |
| 1555s | retention so giving players a little bit |
| 1557s | more to do during their planes and play |
| 1559s | sessions more opportunities to earn |
| 1560s | rewards |
| 1561s | just you know everything like that that |
| 1563s | keeps people wanting to come back for |
| 1565s | more more often and we felt that these |
| 1568s | have been kind of the vital areas to |
| 1569s | focus on because you know we want to |
| 1571s | ensure hunt continues and grows and |
| 1573s | contin grows and continues to grow for a |
| 1575s | very long time to come |
| 1577s | um and we don't want to be just solely |
| 1580s | relying on our events to pull in big |
| 1582s | numbers for a small period of time and |
| 1584s | then it go back to normal we'd like for |
| 1586s | those things to |
| 1587s | improve substantially and we know that |
| 1589s | we must bring content to do that |
| 1591s | as well |
| 1592s | but |
| 1593s | on top of that one of the things we've |
| 1594s | been trying to focus on is the actual |
| 1596s | long-term sustainability of hunt and |
| 1598s | that's where the monetization stuff |
| 1599s | comes in |
| 1600s | and we know that monetization is a bit |
| 1602s | of a touchy subject not many people like |
| 1604s | uh to talk about it you know and we have |
| 1606s | gotten a lot of feedback that people |
| 1608s | don't really like what we're doing but |
| 1610s | there is a reason for it um we'll we'll |
| 1612s | get into that a little bit more uh with |
| 1614s | the actual monetization video itself |
| 1616s | that will be coming out later this week |
| 1618s | but we wanted to let you know that we |
| 1619s | have actually been working on content as |
| 1620s | well but in the example of like bosses |
| 1622s | and new maps stuff like this can |
| 1624s | actually take anywhere from six to 12 |
| 1626s | months to actually complete and that |
| 1628s | really depends on the level of |
| 1629s | complexity with it so we want to make |
| 1631s | sure the content we produce is top |
| 1633s | quality so that it keeps players engaged |
| 1635s | keeps them coming back for more and |
| 1637s | we'll take our time with this and get it |
| 1639s | right rather than rushing it out so |
| 1641s | that's why we've been because we've been |
| 1643s | working with a lot of the stuff along |
| 1644s | the side we've put more focus on to the |
| 1646s | performance service and everything that |
| 1648s | aspect of it so that we can sustain hunt |
| 1651s | for a long time to come |
| 1653s | so |
| 1654s | like i said monetization video will go |
| 1656s | into a lot more detail but like we've |
| 1657s | mentioned before on stream that the |
| 1658s | bloodborne economy is not really in a |
| 1660s | stable place at the moment and this |
| 1662s | unsustainable sustainability is going to |
| 1664s | have larger implications on future |
| 1665s | development of hunt so |
| 1668s | this is why we're introducing systems |
| 1670s | around monetization but with the focus |
| 1672s | of player choice meaning that none of |
| 1675s | these things are forced you do not have |
| 1677s | by any of them they're just in you know |
| 1680s | there if you had something that you |
| 1681s | would actually like to do and support us |
| 1683s | further you know and that's where the |
| 1685s | next feature comes to play as well which |
| 1688s | is the black market |
| 1691s | exactly so now you guys can see the |
| 1693s | slide because until now they could only |
| 1694s | see you |
| 1695s | so |
| 1697s | so the black market uh let's talk about |
| 1699s | that uh let's see what that will bring |
| 1701s | to the table yeah we'll briefly go |
| 1703s | through it and then move on to the |
| 1705s | performance and you know all the other |
| 1706s | gameplay stuff as well because we have a |
| 1708s | lot of a lot of good stuff coming up for |
| 1709s | you in the stream so |
| 1711s | uh as we mentioned the |
| 1712s | the black market is a new way to |
| 1714s | purchase discounted legendary blood bond |
| 1716s | content |
| 1720s | and also to mention with this any of the |
| 1722s | highlighted store items that go out with |
| 1724s | what pay 1.9 will also be available |
| 1726s | through the black market so they will |
| 1728s | also have a discounted rate uh applied |
| 1730s | to them i believe the rate is 20 we'll |
| 1732s | go into that uh in a little bit correct |
| 1735s | and uh i already seen like a bunch of |
| 1736s | people asking today and previously as |
| 1738s | well it's uh not replacing the or the |
| 1741s | old store at all it's a completely new |
| 1742s | tab in the game so it will be a |
| 1744s | completely new feature and not the |
| 1747s | rework of the old store |
| 1750s | so |
| 1751s | when it comes in with 1.9 there'll be |
| 1753s | three vendors available and they'll each |
| 1756s | have their own theme they'll have |
| 1757s | specific web types and weapon sets and |
| 1759s | everything like that so just try to you |
| 1762s | know mix it up with the lore a little |
| 1763s | bit |
| 1764s | each gender will have a limited stock so |
| 1766s | keep that in mind it's not something you |
| 1767s | can buy over and over again |
| 1770s | um all items will be visible so there's |
| 1773s | no nothing hidden you will get to see |
| 1774s | exactly what's available through the |
| 1776s | whole lot of it as you progress through |
| 1778s | but the items will be unlocked in a |
| 1780s | random order so when it's introduced |
| 1782s | they will be there you will see them |
| 1784s | you will be given the first option once |
| 1786s | you purchase that screen will flash over |
| 1789s | and it will open up to a new random one |
| 1790s | within the 10 visible that are available |
| 1793s | to you and just so you guys see how it |
| 1795s | looks actually let's take a look at a |
| 1797s | few examples uh because vendors doesn't |
| 1800s | mean anything until you can see it so as |
| 1802s | you can see on the left side of this |
| 1803s | image we have three different uh vendors |
| 1806s | in this case uh with different deals and |
| 1809s | on the right side you can see |
| 1811s | the items this one vendor is |
| 1814s | uh selling to you on a low with a lower |
| 1816s | price basically uh and |
| 1819s | as rick mentioned you can see all items |
| 1822s | uh in the bundle on the right side but |
| 1824s | they will come in a random order for you |
| 1828s | and uh yeah we correctly said everything |
| 1831s | will be with a 20 discount |
| 1833s | obviously this these bundles can have uh |
| 1836s | skins or |
| 1837s | blood bond legendaries that you already |
| 1838s | own in that case you will still get a 20 |
| 1841s | discount but in its 100 dollar price so |
| 1843s | you will be able to buy one instance of |
| 1845s | that weapon or hunter for 20 |
| 1849s | off yeah |
| 1851s | so and then as well if you're if as you |
| 1853s | see there's another button called |
| 1855s | another offer um and that means like if |
| 1857s | you're not happy with the offer that's |
| 1858s | there you have three opportunities to be |
| 1860s | able to reroll for it and it will |
| 1861s | basically switch to a new item within |
| 1863s | the 10 that are available |
| 1865s | yeah and just so you can see it a bit |
| 1867s | better we also have a video basically |
| 1868s | showcasing uh |
| 1870s | with the example of the |
| 1872s | back la deals which is uh |
| 1874s | one of these bundles so you can see that |
| 1877s | the player purchased the ultimate and |
| 1879s | then it shows them another scheme but |
| 1882s | they don't want that so they skip to the |
| 1884s | next one |
| 1887s | and yeah |
| 1890s | and it actually reveals some of the |
| 1892s | upcoming skins as well but we will uh |
| 1894s | show you that later in the stream |
| 1896s | obviously |
| 1898s | uh but this is actually a cool way to |
| 1901s | get the new uh new skins coming out with |
| 1903s | already like a discounted price and not |
| 1905s | full price so |
| 1908s | that is basically the feature uh and uh |
| 1911s | one other thing that you could see on |
| 1912s | the last image we showed |
| 1914s | if you purchase everything in the bundle |
| 1916s | then you won't be able to rebuy any of |
| 1919s | that obviously because you already have |
| 1920s | the legendaries and you can't keep |
| 1922s | repurchasing them from hunt dollars |
| 1924s | this is only |
| 1926s | until you basically get all 10 items in |
| 1928s | the given part |
| 1931s | and then with regular updates the items |
| 1933s | that they contain will be updated |
| 1938s | so yeah i think that's a that's pretty |
| 1939s | much it for |
| 1942s | for this uh aspect of it anyway um and |
| 1945s | we have a lot of other stuff |
| 1947s | to discuss so |
| 1949s | i am going to drop out and i'm going to |
| 1951s | pass it over to the wonderful level |
| 1953s | designer tom who i'm sure all of you |
| 1955s | have missed yeah um he's got lots of |
| 1958s | lovely lovely level design changes talk |
| 1960s | about um and then uh yeah again dennis |
| 1963s | and stefan will be here a little bit |
| 1965s | later so |
| 1967s | yeah thank you rick for talking us |
| 1968s | through all these changes and uh it was |
| 1970s | nice having you as always |
| 1972s | always good to be on the streams and |
| 1973s | great to see everybody i hope you all |
| 1975s | have a fantastic day and we'll talk to |

| 1983s | you can |
| 1986s | whoa then it's flashed up for there for |
| 1988s | a second that was still a secret so uh |
| 1990s | hey tom how are you doing |
| 1992s | obviously our senior level designer tom |
| 1994s | is here a lot of you know it from |
| 1996s | in-game or from streams already uh hope |
| 1999s | you |
| 1999s | been enjoying the |
| 2001s | previous part of the stream and now it's |
| 2003s | uh let's talk about all the awesome |
| 2005s | level design changes that we have in |
| 2006s | store for you |
| 2009s | right i mean |
| 2010s | i think the first one we're gonna talk |
| 2012s | about is uh so yeah |
| 2014s | we've had this user in twitch chatter |
| 2016s | some earlier mapu people said open the |
| 2019s | mine like all caps so uh |
| 2022s | i've seen that quite a lot actually so |
| 2025s | yeah i've had i've had to just you know |
| 2027s | while you were talking about all this |
| 2029s | other stuff you know the merch and [ __ ] |
| 2032s | i just went and like did it real quick |
| 2034s | um oh thank you i mean there you go |
| 2036s | while rick was talking i actually |
| 2038s | managed to put it in the presentation as |
| 2039s | well so uh let's talk about the minds a |
| 2042s | bit nice yeah nice |
| 2044s | right so basically we've opened up the |
| 2047s | mine underneath kingsnake um |
| 2049s | it's uh connecting this um construction |
| 2052s | side side building |
| 2055s | with the main boss pit underneath and uh |
| 2058s | one big entrance the one that's been all |
| 2060s | boarded up right towards um |
| 2063s | towards like the inner yacht the |
| 2064s | downstairs yacht |
| 2066s | um there's a |
| 2067s | i mean we could |
| 2069s | hop straight to the pictures there's |
| 2071s | some staircase in there to get into the |
| 2072s | boss pit a ladder an elevator lots of |
| 2075s | ways to get into the boss pit and out of |
| 2077s | it yeah here's a previous version and |
| 2080s | obviously those that were uh |
| 2082s | lucky enough to see these on social |
| 2084s | media you could already get a peek but |
| 2086s | yeah this is the close version of the |
| 2088s | mine uh as tom mentioned and |
| 2091s | suddenly it's all open |
| 2093s | it's really cool |
| 2095s | and uh |
| 2097s | yeah so how can people access the uh the |
| 2099s | main building from here exactly |
| 2102s | so you can see a bit here on the left |
| 2104s | top corner there's this staircase going |
| 2105s | up so this one leads into the boss pits |
| 2107s | i don't know |
| 2109s | if you have it in your head right now |
| 2110s | it's just it has this bottom part |
| 2112s | where it's also been kind of blocked off |
| 2114s | i also know that some people |
| 2116s | have already found ways to get in there |
| 2119s | even on life already and see like uh |
| 2122s | work in progress broken stuff but now |
| 2124s | it's all nice and pretty and dressed up |
| 2127s | you can see here again the staircase |
| 2128s | right behind the cameras basically where |
| 2130s | new elevators this elevator takes you |
| 2132s | all the way up top i think |
| 2134s | does it take you to the no it takes to |
| 2136s | the first floor |
| 2138s | to where the crank gate is but yeah |
| 2139s | there's there's a bunch of ways now to |
| 2140s | get in there basically get in and out |
| 2143s | and this is my favorite one it looks so |
| 2144s | cool we tried |
| 2146s | yeah we tried to keep it simple like we |
| 2148s | didn't want to make a huge obviously we |
| 2150s | didn't want to make a huge mazie mind |
| 2152s | complex you know with dark corners where |
| 2155s | you know people would sit |
| 2157s | but it's more of it i mean obviously |
| 2160s | it's a mine it needed the mine shaft it |
| 2162s | needed the underground area needed the |
| 2164s | cave we we couldn't make it for the |
| 2165s | initial release |
| 2167s | um because of performance reasons back |
| 2169s | in the day but it's always been |
| 2170s | bothering us on our list to to add it |
| 2173s | and yeah here it is i guess |
| 2175s | yeah it's awesome and uh obviously uh |
| 2177s | whenever the update is on test servers |
| 2179s | you guys can all try it out and please |
| 2181s | leave us our feed leave us feedback |
| 2183s | regarding this as well as it's a whole |
| 2185s | new area to access |
| 2186s | but |
| 2188s | this is obviously not the only change |
| 2190s | actually it is a small part of the level |
| 2193s | design changes we have in store for you |
| 2195s | and uh our awesome level design team |
| 2198s | actually made changes on all three maps |
| 2200s | but let's start off with a steel water |
| 2202s | by you |
| 2204s | and uh |
| 2205s | these are just the compounds that were |
| 2207s | changed but we're gonna look at them one |
| 2209s | by one yeah |
| 2211s | so yeah i'm just gonna give you a small |
| 2213s | like from the pictures to get a little |
| 2214s | overview i'm just going to tell you the |
| 2216s | most significant change about it i guess |
| 2219s | and if you'd want to just go through the |
| 2221s | pictures |
| 2222s | yeah alice farm as we all know and love |
| 2224s | or hate i don't know how you guys feel |
| 2226s | about it now there's this window on the |
| 2228s | barn because it's always been people |
| 2230s | like trying to peek the gaps and cracks |
| 2232s | there and it's always been this weird |
| 2235s | fight or there's this little hole on the |
| 2237s | left where where people would usually |
| 2239s | fight through from this little shack |
| 2241s | that is like left of the camera right |
| 2242s | now this little barn |
| 2244s | and we wanted a cleaner way to fight |
| 2247s | then basically added this window you can |
| 2249s | also see this little roof right there is |
| 2252s | new uh underneath the window |
| 2254s | and this connects basically the two side |
| 2257s | roofs of the building now and if you |
| 2259s | want to skip to the or if you want to go |
| 2261s | to the next picture you can see here |
| 2263s | that in the silo there's now a ladder |
| 2266s | that takes you up to this |
| 2268s | side of the roof so this is now |
| 2270s | accessible hasn't been accessible before |
| 2272s | i believe |
| 2273s | and you can basically go into the corn |
| 2275s | silo climb up there on the roof switch |
| 2277s | to the other side of the building if you |
| 2279s | wanted to it just gives you more options |
| 2281s | and |
| 2282s | yeah just more options to play around |
| 2284s | this building it's awesome and yeah just |
| 2286s | to note that i always show the before a |
| 2288s | first and then the after so it makes |
| 2290s | sense and i'll go back and forth so a |
| 2292s | chat can exactly see the changes but |
| 2294s | yeah that's definitely so |
| 2296s | i can also see that we basically made it |
| 2298s | so that this uh roof is not as um it's |
| 2301s | not looking like a swiss cheese as much |
| 2303s | anymore as it did before so you know |
| 2304s | where people are |
| 2306s | you know where people look out of |
| 2307s | because where there's still a hole in |
| 2309s | the roof with these um planks |
| 2311s | you can still have people be there and |
| 2313s | look out into the forest and into the |
| 2316s | yacht but it's now much more focused and |
| 2318s | you know |
| 2320s | you know where people can be basically |
| 2323s | there's some awesome changes for alice |
| 2324s | farm and that let's look at livestock |
| 2326s | what change there |
| 2329s | right one compound over this little hole |
| 2332s | um it's been |
| 2336s | it's |
| 2336s | well we made it basically we added a |
| 2338s | ramp to it right it's always been this |
| 2340s | there's there's these situations where |
| 2342s | you have to drop in there and you |
| 2345s | you're kind of |
| 2347s | trapped because the only way to get out |
| 2349s | is to either vault or to use a ladder i |
| 2352s | don't think anybody ever used that |
| 2353s | little letter there uh to be honest |
| 2357s | uh yeah you can see it on the before |
| 2358s | image also the little vault on the fence |
| 2361s | above the hole |
| 2363s | is now like a full height fence so you |
| 2366s | don't get shot while you're in this |
| 2368s | inner yacht randomly anymore you can |
| 2370s | still climb over it there's some hay |
| 2371s | balance behind it you'll see on the next |
| 2373s | picture there's some hay bands behind it |
| 2374s | where you can still |
| 2376s | bolt out and get into the hole when if |
| 2378s | you want to escape or if you want to go |
| 2379s | on the ground |
| 2381s | um the underground has changed a bit as |
| 2383s | well i believe just real quick because |
| 2385s | the crank gate that was right at the |
| 2387s | boss pit didn't really sit right with us |
| 2389s | and we were thinking um to |
| 2391s | give a better way there to get into the |
| 2393s | compound get more use out of this |
| 2395s | underground connection basically because |
| 2397s | it felt very |
| 2398s | underused so we're hoping by changing |
| 2402s | doing some slight changes here and there |
| 2403s | to give it a bit more |
| 2405s | viability |
| 2407s | yeah i just wanted to say that it was |
| 2408s | always like a little trap where you uh |
| 2410s | like uh vaulted over the fence and just |
| 2412s | fell into the hole and sometimes there |
| 2413s | was some ai in there and then |
| 2415s | it was not always the best part to be in |
| 2417s | especially when you're running from |
| 2418s | teams in the open fields there so |
| 2421s | yeah you get like chased out of the |
| 2423s | compound and and you drop in there and |
| 2425s | now well you gotta i mean your only |
| 2427s | choice is to hide in the tunnels but |
| 2429s | then like yeah i don't know yeah it was |
| 2431s | kind of a death threat situation yeah |
| 2433s | yeah |
| 2434s | smoother just smoother movement in this |
| 2436s | area |
| 2437s | and then from another angle |
| 2441s | yeah you can see here as well like the |
| 2443s | we've also |
| 2444s | changed a bit the covers around it so |
| 2446s | like this tree trunk you know it's a bit |
| 2448s | more acting as proper cover now it's |
| 2451s | just very slight subtle changes here |
| 2453s | this little crouch hole in the fence |
| 2455s | like right in the center of the image |
| 2456s | there |
| 2457s | just giving you a bit more |
| 2459s | just |
| 2460s | details tiny details that we did here |
| 2462s | that uh might help in it's very |
| 2465s | situational changes |
| 2467s | and uh then let's move into the |
| 2469s | crematorium side of |
| 2471s | the map again |
| 2474s | and uh this is some awesome changes here |
| 2476s | actually |
| 2477s | yeah again pitching the this time we're |
| 2481s | looking a bit uh not only but we're also |
| 2483s | looking a bit at the upper area of |
| 2485s | pitching and trying to give it a bit |
| 2487s | more structure because it did feel very |
| 2489s | like |
| 2491s | unsafe to a certain degree like you |
| 2494s | didn't really want to be up there you |
| 2496s | you could get shot from from a lot of |
| 2497s | different places so we're just trying to |
| 2499s | add more structure make it a bit clearer |
| 2501s | you know you have this this corridor |
| 2503s | behind this wall they're more |
| 2505s | more clearly separated now and things |
| 2507s | like that there's also just some |
| 2509s | structural |
| 2510s | changes the bigger one is this one and |
| 2513s | this screenshot it doesn't really |
| 2515s | tell you a lot i guess |
| 2516s | there's a door |
| 2518s | there's a door |
| 2520s | crazy crazy |
| 2523s | but that's a nice door right |
| 2526s | yeah nice store that's very nice now |
| 2528s | actually on the next screenshot you'll |
| 2529s | see where it leads um |
| 2531s | so this is when you come from the forest |
| 2534s | from healing towards pitching there's a |
| 2536s | new entrance now |
| 2538s | where you don't have to go into the |
| 2540s | compound first to get to the ramp or get |
| 2542s | to the staircase or the elevator or |
| 2543s | whatever goes out through the water but |
| 2545s | you actually have |
| 2547s | an entrance here |
| 2548s | that is a is a bit more convenient i |
| 2551s | guess if you come from the forest but |
| 2552s | also for the defenders or people coming |
| 2554s | out of the compound |
| 2556s | gives you a little bit of a ramp to |
| 2558s | to peak maybe into the forest right and |
| 2561s | where people usually sit and wait so you |
| 2563s | have a bit of |
| 2565s | just another option there to |
| 2567s | make your way out yeah i think it's |
| 2569s | great like people also love the changes |
| 2571s | of the chapel with the new entrances so |
| 2573s | i think these are always like changing |
| 2575s | up the game a bit it's |
| 2577s | more options is always better |
| 2580s | yeah |
| 2580s | and uh yeah we have some other angles |
| 2584s | right yeah so you see kind of where it |
| 2585s | is so also since there was this before |
| 2589s | there was these like individual walls |
| 2591s | there could get a bit messy sometimes |
| 2594s | where you're not exactly sure where the |
| 2595s | person is but now you have just this big |
| 2597s | block that you can play around |
| 2600s | uh makes it a bit more readable |
| 2604s | but yeah again details just you know |
| 2606s | looking at the compound see what we can |
| 2608s | improve on |
| 2609s | um yeah there's always like smaller |
| 2611s | changes to noticeable like the three |
| 2613s | location chains and stuff like that |
| 2615s | yeah it overall feels more natural and i |
| 2617s | think nicer as |
| 2619s | well uh but yeah let's go over to |
| 2622s | portugal then |
| 2624s | uh portraiture easy stairs |
| 2627s | stairs more stairs yeah |
| 2630s | and some more trees in the background |
| 2631s | they both moved a bit but that stair is |
| 2633s | also great because it's something the |
| 2635s | trees in the back i think that's just |
| 2637s | something went wrong with the |
| 2638s | screenshots they've been there i don't |
| 2640s | know how that happened um but yeah it's |
| 2642s | basically it's stairs because yeah if |
| 2644s | you go to the next one i think the next |
| 2646s | one is also stairs |
| 2649s | yeah give you more options to get up |
| 2651s | there because it can sometimes be a bit |
| 2653s | frustrating when you're down there when |
| 2655s | you when you were pushed out of the |
| 2657s | compound you had to drop down like |
| 2658s | finding your way back in you have to |
| 2660s | take if you want to be somewhat safe |
| 2662s | about it you got to take |
| 2663s | huge ass detours to |
| 2665s | to get back up top and fight your way |
| 2667s | back in so it's just a few more spots |
| 2670s | for you to basically be able to do that |
| 2672s | also the one on the screenshot before |
| 2675s | if you |
| 2676s | it just gives you another option to push |
| 2678s | this scupper lake uh boss building like |
| 2680s | this one towards skopje lake so you can |
| 2682s | if you're on the huts coming from alice |
| 2684s | and you're at these huts at the entrance |
| 2685s | of puerto rico it gives you the option |
| 2686s | now to like |
| 2688s | maybe you headshot somebody or you kill |
| 2690s | somebody you damage somebody in the boss |
| 2691s | pits now i can just drop down and push |
| 2693s | over there real quick and get up pretty |
| 2695s | fast and really take advantage of that |
| 2697s | kill that you maybe made |
| 2699s | uh instead of having to go all the way |
| 2700s | around and now when you get to the boss |
| 2702s | pit they already rest and it's back to |
| 2704s | square one so this one |
| 2706s | uh |
| 2707s | this one is more where you have to make |
| 2709s | such long detours to get back up and |
| 2712s | use ladders |
| 2713s | even you know so it's kind of hard to |
| 2715s | get back up that's what this one is for |
| 2718s | oh yeah stairs a lot of stairs but we |
| 2720s | also add ladders by the way later on |
| 2723s | so here's another uh |
| 2725s | really visible change actually with the |
| 2727s | new bridge |
| 2728s | yeah |
| 2729s | um this has always been this weird |
| 2732s | situation there where |
| 2734s | in the before screenshot you have this |
| 2736s | boat hanging back there but the boat |
| 2739s | actually just takes you to a ladder to |
| 2741s | get to the second floor of the bus but |
| 2742s | if you do want to get to this boss pit |
| 2744s | you actually have to drop down use a |
| 2746s | letter do some trick jumps or go all the |
| 2748s | way around and now it's just |
| 2750s | connected better i think we thought it |
| 2752s | made sense to |
| 2755s | to give it that connection and make it a |
| 2756s | bit easier to push it and sometimes it's |
| 2758s | just hard to get to the uh the boss room |
| 2761s | anyway so |
| 2762s | yeah it's it's nice |
| 2765s | you can never really like if you don't |
| 2767s | have these connections you also can't |
| 2768s | really take advantage of a good shot you |
| 2772s | get maybe on the defending team right so |
| 2774s | defending teams inside you land a |
| 2775s | headshot but it doesn't do anything if |
| 2777s | you can't really follow up on it |
| 2779s | so now |
| 2780s | you know you might be able to |
| 2782s | to do that where your teammates are |
| 2784s | maybe a bit closer ready to the compound |
| 2786s | you're still a bit further back you |
| 2788s | managed to get a head shot on one of |
| 2789s | them your teammates can push in or you |
| 2791s | can push them together however you just |
| 2793s | you're faster there |
| 2795s | yeah that's also that will help out a |
| 2797s | lot it fights |
| 2799s | and uh |
| 2800s | we still have some changes still water |
| 2802s | ban |
| 2805s | yeah this these screenshots aren't |
| 2806s | really telling uh |
| 2808s | i mean uh |
| 2809s | in the back if you if you do the test |
| 2811s | servers |
| 2812s | yeah yeah in the middle of the picture |
| 2813s | in the back there's a new uh way down if |
| 2816s | i'm not mistaken |
| 2818s | yes so where this little roof is in the |
| 2820s | center there's basically a new staircase |
| 2823s | that goes down and where this little |
| 2825s | where the um the cage the falling cage |
| 2828s | door is there used to be a letter that |
| 2831s | took you down in there so the letter is |
| 2832s | gone |
| 2833s | the room in there now is a |
| 2836s | guaranteed resupply room like where you |
| 2838s | can always expect some ammo crates |
| 2841s | and the entrance into the boss pits is |
| 2843s | now staircase uh that you can access |
| 2845s | from here and the reason for that was |
| 2847s | that a lot of times when you come from |
| 2850s | the northern part of the map and you |
| 2851s | come into stillwater |
| 2853s | you you're faced with a situation where |
| 2855s | one team is down in the boss pit one |
| 2857s | team is where the white house is in the |
| 2859s | back there or in this barn or mainly |
| 2862s | like where the white house is because |
| 2863s | the white house controls a lot of these |
| 2864s | entrances you have an entrance right by |
| 2866s | the house |
| 2867s | you have the letter in the barn next to |
| 2869s | it you have another ramp and you can see |
| 2872s | you cannot see almost all the entrances |
| 2874s | from this one spot so it's very |
| 2876s | it's a very key position to control this |
| 2878s | compound and when you then come in from |
| 2879s | the north |
| 2881s | even if you do want to just go down and |
| 2883s | face the team that is holding the bounty |
| 2885s | you have to face the other team first to |
| 2887s | get there so now this one allows you to |
| 2889s | just |
| 2889s | ignore the other team go down get the |
| 2891s | bounty which is what i like what i |
| 2893s | prefer i just i i go down i get the |
| 2896s | bounty from that team and then i fight |
| 2897s | the team upstairs so |
| 2899s | it's just it's just a bit cleaner this |
| 2901s | way it's what we felt like some chat has |
| 2904s | been asking you like what do you have |
| 2905s | against letters uh why is it just stairs |
| 2908s | now |
| 2910s | but no like i i think this is really |
| 2912s | cool but ladders are a bit dangerous |
| 2914s | sometimes you're a bit dangerous and as |
| 2916s | such i have no problem with letters i |
| 2917s | know um i know some people have been |
| 2919s | asking me to make a compound just built |
| 2921s | from letters nothing else |
| 2926s | made a big request area sounds fun |
| 2929s | letter land um |
| 2931s | yeah i do prefer stairs though i'm sorry |
| 2934s | stairs are you can put traps on stairs |
| 2936s | so |
| 2937s | they have a use |
| 2939s | uh but yeah that's it for uh the first |
| 2942s | map so stillwater bayou |
| 2944s | and we have some changes to the other |
| 2945s | maps as well so let's take a short look |
| 2948s | at blossom delta with lumber and salters |
| 2950s | pork |
| 2951s | so |
| 2952s | let's look at lumber first |
| 2954s | yeah lumber is a small one salted pork |
| 2956s | is a big one but lumber you know this |
| 2958s | little drop down you can barely see it |
| 2960s | here it's where the letter now is but in |
| 2962s | the before it's |
| 2963s | you barely even see it but this was |
| 2965s | actually a one-way drop to get out of |
| 2967s | the boss bit into this little area |
| 2968s | underneath |
| 2970s | uh i personally used it when i was down |
| 2972s | there to throw nades up there because |
| 2974s | nobody ever expects them um |
| 2976s | what you can still do but people maybe |
| 2978s | are more aware of it now and you have |
| 2980s | this letter now just |
| 2982s | as |
| 2983s | um how you say you know since we're |
| 2986s | removing letters everywhere and putting |
| 2988s | stairs you know you have to balance it a |
| 2990s | bit later somewhere else yeah |
| 2992s | so there you go talking of letters |
| 2994s | here's another one |
| 2996s | yeah that's not that's the same much as |
| 2998s | from the other angle yeah |
| 3000s | so this is this is what it looks like |
| 3002s | down there now so you have the slider |
| 3003s | with a bit of cover behind it so again |
| 3005s | you don't get shot from from |
| 3007s | the water side while you climb up |
| 3009s | and you can use that now to have a |
| 3012s | sneaky way into the boss pit without |
| 3014s | having to go outside and get to the |
| 3016s | ramps and such because |
| 3017s | it's easy to get down into this room but |
| 3019s | then it's super hard to get to into the |
| 3021s | actual boss pit you have to take long |
| 3023s | detours |
| 3024s | and this one could be your shortcut |
| 3026s | basically unless you take the elevator |
| 3028s | but |
| 3029s | it could be a death trap as well like |
| 3030s | it's a pretty risky approach uh once i |
| 3033s | tried to sand down a sticky bomb in the |
| 3036s | elevator but i also got stuck in the |
| 3038s | elevator so i went down with it |
| 3041s | nice yeah |
| 3042s | just fun fact okay uh let's look at |
| 3044s | salter's pork and which uh we have some |
| 3047s | bigger changes actually some really big |
| 3049s | changes |
| 3050s | yeah |
| 3052s | wow |
| 3055s | we all know and love the situation three |
| 3057s | teams in the corner at soldiers middle |
| 3060s | team |
| 3061s | i mean we've already reworked this area |
| 3063s | once |
| 3064s | it used to be super open and then we we |
| 3066s | drew in this fence there we gave a bit |
| 3068s | more cover options left and right and |
| 3071s | made it a bit more bearable for the |
| 3072s | middle team but now |
| 3074s | we've added this tunnel which takes into |
| 3076s | the side building basically and what it |
| 3078s | what it allows you to do now is say you |
| 3080s | if you don't want to take part in the |
| 3081s | spawn fight and you can just take the |
| 3083s | spawn fight into the compound you could |
| 3085s | just without even |
| 3088s | showing yourself on the road for these |
| 3090s | other two teams you can just run |
| 3091s | straight through the tunnel into the |
| 3093s | side building and then you're in a |
| 3094s | really um advantageous position i'd say |
| 3097s | for this bone fight because you're |
| 3098s | already in the compound you've got all |
| 3100s | the resupplies there |
| 3102s | you know uh you got the cover the |
| 3103s | building |
| 3105s | so |
| 3105s | that's that's what is also for escaping |
| 3108s | maybe if you manage to get your way into |
| 3110s | this into the side building you can use |
| 3112s | the tunnel as |
| 3115s | a little way to not having to cross the |
| 3117s | road but it's more for the spawn fight |
| 3119s | situation it's not really |
| 3121s | uh |
| 3122s | super useful i guess for escaping but |
| 3124s | for this spawn situation it's really |
| 3126s | good if you just want to |
| 3128s | slide in real quick you know |
| 3130s | get into that side building and then not |
| 3132s | having to worry about north and south |
| 3134s | teams |
| 3135s | i feel like also just from a thematic |
| 3137s | aspect it's like really cool like uh |
| 3139s | with the mines open it's like kind of a |
| 3141s | theme of having tunnels now and new |
| 3143s | entrances so that's really cool yeah |
| 3147s | yeah well that's an awesome change and |
| 3149s | uh yeah so let's talk about the dassault |
| 3152s | as last obviously we already showed you |
| 3154s | kingston mine in the beginning so the |
| 3156s | mines are open so we won't show that |
| 3158s | once again but let's take a look at fort |
| 3160s | bolden |
| 3163s | yeah |
| 3164s | so we've done some changes here that are |
| 3167s | mainly thematically just this old bridge |
| 3171s | it didn't really |
| 3173s | fit the fort so this one |
| 3176s | this one is a lot more in line with the |
| 3179s | whole aesthetic of fort bolden right |
| 3182s | it's um it still offers plenty of |
| 3184s | options cover you can you even have some |
| 3187s | letters on the side of this i don't know |
| 3189s | if you'll be able to see him on the |
| 3190s | screenshots but |
| 3192s | for all your letter lovers uh you can |
| 3195s | see it on this one actually yeah |
| 3197s | oh yeah okay oh yeah you can right there |
| 3199s | yeah so |
| 3200s | basically |
| 3202s | um changing the theme up a bit and just |
| 3204s | this entire area has been cleaned up a |
| 3206s | bit uh it was kind of unpolished before |
| 3209s | and it's now better pathing better |
| 3210s | leading |
| 3211s | and thematically just more fitting and |
| 3214s | it all really ties into this |
| 3217s | civil war kind of ford |
| 3219s | wooden ford theme also here this bridge |
| 3222s | was really it felt really |
| 3225s | i felt too open so we're trying not to |
| 3228s | overdo it but to add some cover give you |
| 3231s | some options when you go over the bridge |
| 3232s | you know you have some you get shot you |
| 3234s | have some stuff to cover be take cover |
| 3236s | behind heel up drop down |
| 3239s | uh approach maybe from the forest but |
| 3240s | it's just it doesn't it's not this super |
| 3242s | open suicide route that you avoid to |
| 3244s | begin with anymore |
| 3247s | and then we have some on the |
| 3249s | surrounding area too |
| 3251s | right here when you come from the spawn |
| 3253s | there was always this little |
| 3255s | water thing there that you could just |
| 3256s | completely avoid or jump over and now |
| 3258s | it's just it's just visually more |
| 3260s | appealing |
| 3262s | better leading and basically a cleanup |
| 3265s | on the vegetation and |
| 3268s | all the surroundings there |
| 3270s | yeah it looks very aesthetically |
| 3271s | pleasing i gotta admit really cool |
| 3274s | and obviously there's some smaller |
| 3276s | changes around the same area as well but |
| 3278s | please test it out on the test servers |
| 3280s | and look around what other things have |
| 3282s | been changed |
| 3283s | but uh |
| 3285s | not we didn't just change some compounds |
| 3287s | but we actually made some improvements |
| 3289s | uh to the spawn points |
| 3292s | so we have added multiple new spawn |
| 3295s | points in the sal |
| 3296s | they will be available now and we will |
| 3298s | show that you in a second on some |
| 3300s | pictures |
| 3301s | and uh maybe you want to explain what |
| 3304s | this exactly means uh what what was the |
| 3306s | systematic change we did |
| 3309s | so we have a minimum distance between |
| 3311s | spawn points where teams are allowed to |
| 3314s | spawn now uh basically what this means |
| 3317s | is it's primarily for the spawns on the |
| 3319s | cell where oftentimes especially in the |
| 3322s | west there was a lot of very |
| 3325s | clutch spawns with |
| 3327s | three or four teams basically right next |
| 3329s | to each other shoulder to shoulder and |
| 3331s | it caused a lot of frustration |
| 3333s | especially since the area is genuinely a |
| 3336s | bit more open |
| 3337s | you can see here a bit the spawns that |
| 3339s | we have on the cell this is from hunt |
| 3340s | map |
| 3342s | and a little bit the distances |
| 3344s | and you can see |
| 3345s | the situation on the west already and |
| 3348s | with this new system basically if you |
| 3350s | want to switch the next slides it's only |
| 3352s | every other spawn can be active with |
| 3354s | this scenario right now so |
| 3357s | you can see um |
| 3359s | that the ones in king snake mine you |
| 3362s | they they are still active it's not that |
| 3364s | it's always every other but if they |
| 3367s | can't have a minimum distance between |
| 3370s | them then the one spawn cancels the next |
| 3372s | one out |
| 3373s | basically that's what it is |
| 3375s | um so |
| 3377s | in this west western dissolve situation |
| 3380s | this is some constellations what it |
| 3382s | could look like right only these bonds |
| 3384s | could be active together at a time so |
| 3386s | you don't get these massive big |
| 3389s | spawn fights anymore you still get |
| 3392s | uh actually this change just real quick |
| 3394s | as a note uh to not cause any confusion |
| 3397s | here it does not affect |
| 3399s | um what was the official names |
| 3402s | still what's up bayou and uh |
| 3405s | yeah right it doesn't affect any spawns |
| 3408s | there you still get your triple spawn |
| 3410s | and salters you still get your triple |
| 3411s | spawn and devant the distance is set to |
| 3414s | a value where it does not affect these |
| 3416s | two maps it's only really specifically |
| 3419s | set to combat the issue we have on the |
| 3421s | cell on the west and east you can also |
| 3424s | see in the east a lot of spawns being |
| 3425s | really close to each other |
| 3427s | so we |
| 3428s | like we like spawn fights don't don't |
| 3430s | get me wrong i like spawn fights |
| 3433s | but they have to be fair |
| 3434s | um |
| 3436s | and they have to follow a certain rule |
| 3438s | set and this is basically our |
| 3440s | next step in um |
| 3442s | assuring that rused |
| 3444s | and then what this system also allowed |
| 3447s | us is that you can see on this slide |
| 3449s | so i just drew in some colors in there |
| 3451s | real quick is uh heritage pork only |
| 3454s | really had one spawn for it and now we |
| 3456s | could actually add two more so the green |
| 3458s | ones are three new spawns that we added |
| 3460s | there |
| 3461s | the blue one is just the one from the |
| 3463s | corner up there that i moved a bit |
| 3464s | closer and the red ones basically are |
| 3467s | removed so |
| 3469s | we were able to add three in response |
| 3470s | there one is specifically more for pearl |
| 3473s | and two for them for heritage pork and |
| 3476s | they're now with this new system |
| 3479s | basically the new system makes it that |
| 3481s | these spawns are not problematic because |
| 3483s | otherwise they would be way too close if |
| 3485s | they wouldn't cancel each other out out |
| 3486s | there would be way too close and this is |
| 3488s | only a first |
| 3489s | set |
| 3490s | of spawn points that we introduced with |
| 3492s | this new system that we have |
| 3494s | um |
| 3495s | we're looking at uh also the other maps |
| 3498s | and also other spawn points on this map |
| 3501s | but also on the old maps we're looking |
| 3503s | at new locations that this new system |
| 3505s | now would allow us to put spawn points |
| 3507s | in and um yeah this is something |
| 3510s | we are currently looking at for the next |
| 3513s | bigger update yeah and before we look at |
| 3515s | the three new spawn points uh some |
| 3517s | people said like oh but they love spawn |
| 3519s | fights we also love spam fights even if |
| 3522s | it's like three teams but uh sometimes |
| 3524s | they were not fair like on the west side |
| 3525s | on some of the west side of the cell so |
| 3528s | we just want to make sure that they are |
| 3529s | fair uh that was the main goal with this |
| 3532s | change so uh right |
| 3534s | yeah so more already mentioned this but |
| 3536s | i still get them yeah you still get the |
| 3538s | blanched ones ellen and sonsfish |
| 3540s | although i hate this one actually |
| 3543s | they're still there they're not changed |
| 3545s | uh salted pork really good one devon |
| 3547s | really good one they still happen uh |
| 3549s | catfish still happens nothing nothing |
| 3552s | has been changed there it's really this |
| 3554s | change really only affects the west and |
| 3556s | east |
| 3557s | on the cell and a little bit of the |
| 3559s | spawn points in the south as well i |
| 3560s | believe but it's mainly for it only |
| 3562s | affects dissolve right now but it allows |
| 3564s | us to add more spawn points also to the |
| 3567s | other maps |
| 3568s | in locations where they would have been |
| 3570s | too close to others uh with the old |
| 3572s | system but with the new system and they |
| 3574s | canceling the next one over out |
| 3576s | basically we can put two spawns right |
| 3578s | next to each other and just have a |
| 3579s | little bit of a variation |
| 3581s | between them |
| 3583s | and the new system would never allow to |
| 3585s | be for both of them to be active at the |
| 3587s | same time so it would take either or |
| 3589s | this is really cool for us to |
| 3591s | to shake up the whole spawn point |
| 3593s | situation a little bit |
| 3594s | because it can make a difference even if |
| 3596s | it's just |
| 3597s | 10 meters this way and looking another |
| 3599s | direction it can already make you want |
| 3601s | to go |
| 3602s | to this compound rather than to that one |
| 3604s | that you'd always go to from that spawn |
| 3605s | position so uh right it allows us to do |
| 3608s | some cool stuff when you play a lot you |
| 3609s | get so used to some of the pawn points |
| 3611s | so it's i think it's really cool to see |
| 3612s | new ones and yeah let's take a look at |
| 3614s | the three new that we've added |
| 3617s | so this is one of these |
| 3619s | these are the heritage pork ones so this |
| 3621s | one is basically the one it's kind of |
| 3624s | already been there but it's been moved |
| 3625s | more towards heritage pork now you can |
| 3627s | still go if you go to the left from |
| 3629s | where this camera is looking right now |
| 3631s | you're in pearl plantation so you can |
| 3633s | still choose but i think there's more of |
| 3635s | an incentive to go to heritage park from |
| 3638s | here |
| 3639s | here's the other park |
| 3641s | it would be this this one could be |
| 3644s | active at the same time as the one as |
| 3646s | we've seen before so these two would so |
| 3648s | basically the one we've seen before |
| 3650s | would arrive at the watchtower roughly |
| 3653s | at the same time that this spawn point |
| 3654s | would arrive at this little barn so you |
| 3656s | get this nice spawn fight over the |
| 3659s | fields back there between the two |
| 3660s | buildings |
| 3661s | uh which which i thought would would be |
| 3664s | really interesting |
| 3665s | so again like this one taking you more |
| 3667s | towards there and then this one is the |
| 3669s | one i moved more towards per plantation |
| 3672s | a very pretty dedicated power plantation |
| 3674s | spawn nothing much to say there |
| 3677s | um yeah |
| 3679s | yeah awesome |
| 3680s | thank you tom uh |
| 3682s | so please everyone go to the test |
| 3684s | servers and check out all the |
| 3686s | new map changes and the new spawn point |
| 3688s | player around how you like them and let |
| 3690s | us know uh tom thank you for the awesome |
| 3692s | presentation and thank you for being on |
| 3694s | yeah |
| 3696s | and yeah see in the bayou |
| 3698s | hope you had fun as well |
| 3700s | okay guys bye-bye yeah bye bye thank you |
| 3705s | and |
| 3706s | we are here uh with the big trio now so |
| 3710s | uh dennis is back hey dennis how are you |
| 3712s | doing hello okay |
| 3715s | hope you are good uh everyone miss you |
| 3717s | in the chat |
| 3718s | i miss the chatter |
| 3720s | and uh uh i know that stefan has been on |
| 3723s | many crisis streams but i don't think he |
| 3725s | has been on a hunt form before uh he is |
| 3727s | a associate producer for hunt so hey |
| 3730s | stefan how are you doing today hello |
| 3732s | yeah i'm fine so |
| 3734s | it's really great now to connect with |
| 3735s | the community so thank you |
| 3738s | yeah awesome to have you on and uh |
| 3740s | to start with we will be talking about |
| 3742s | some technical features and it's gonna |
| 3745s | be stefan of guiding us through of uh |
| 3748s | three bigger one of these so let's just |
| 3751s | dive into these |
| 3752s | uh |
| 3753s | starting with the server stability |
| 3755s | improvements that we've added in 1.9 |
| 3758s | correct so first i want to mention um so |
| 3761s | we are listening to the feedback and we |
| 3763s | are aware of the |
| 3764s | server issues we are facing at the |
| 3766s | moment |
| 3767s | so we're really totally aware of this |
| 3769s | but you also need to understand what |
| 3771s | issues we are facing at the moment and |
| 3772s | that's the reason |
| 3774s | for this first light we want to go um |
| 3776s | through it please |
| 3778s | yeah so the first one is that we're |
| 3780s | challenging the challenges with a |
| 3781s | globally open game |
| 3783s | as you know |
| 3784s | from the beginning we had an open game |
| 3786s | that means someone from australia can |
| 3788s | connect to the server and us if |
| 3790s | everything is possible if you have a |
| 3791s | ping of one hundred thousand for example |
| 3793s | in theory right you can play wherever |
| 3795s | you want with all the friends you have |
| 3797s | or just alone and that is of course also |
| 3800s | also |
| 3801s | very challenging for us now because |
| 3803s | we're getting a higher player base we |
| 3805s | face now over 30 000 players |
| 3808s | sometimes at the same time |
| 3809s | and that means um yeah we need to make |
| 3812s | some little restrictions in this regards |
| 3814s | i tell you later why but um it's fair |
| 3816s | and you will understand what we are |
| 3818s | changing at the end |
| 3819s | okay the second point is because of the |
| 3822s | a lot of data going through one channel |
| 3824s | that means everyone is connecting to one |
| 3826s | server maybe the the latency is very |
| 3828s | high at the end from the player and then |
| 3830s | he's also downloading uploading data |
| 3833s | through that one channel that means that |
| 3835s | we'll be coming delays and now i |
| 3836s | mentioned with 30 000 people connecting |
| 3838s | to one channel and it's getting stacking |
| 3841s | to each other and at the end some people |
| 3843s | experience some likes maybe on the |
| 3844s | server and that is also one of the |
| 3847s | reasons |
| 3848s | yep globally high traffic |
| 3851s | it's known that many people are now um |
| 3853s | home office for example the globally |
| 3855s | high traffic is much higher compared to |
| 3857s | two years ago |
| 3859s | and we cannot break any physics right |
| 3861s | that means if someone's connecting from |
| 3863s | one continent to the other one the |
| 3865s | latency is high um |
| 3867s | yeah that we do not own an own pipeline |
| 3870s | of internet yes yes sorry just to |
| 3872s | interrupt you for a second any chance |
| 3874s | you could turn your own volume up |
| 3875s | because i actually maxed you out but uh |
| 3878s | i think you are audible but it maybe |
| 3880s | could be a bit louder for |
| 3882s | people maximum steph yeah i i you are |
| 3885s | 200 percent on my discord now so |
| 3887s | the more the better you know uh |
| 3889s | some people say it's fine |
| 3892s | over 9000 that's exactly the hand |
| 3894s | setting so |
| 3897s | okay is it better now |
| 3898s | i think so uh i'll monitor the check |
| 3900s | thank you yeah uh sans okay sounds good |
| 3903s | yep so um and because of all the reasons |
| 3906s | i have mentioned of course also our back |
| 3908s | end is overloaded so it's a domino |
| 3910s | effect of all these um |
| 3912s | things i have mentioned now in this |
| 3913s | presentation and we have also made |
| 3915s | improvements which i will also come in |
| 3917s | later on this point and on the last |
| 3919s | point ben's please we also have face |
| 3921s | malicious attacks um sadly um but there |
| 3924s | was also one of the reasons we need to |
| 3926s | take care in the past a few months and |
| 3929s | these are the issues we're facing at the |
| 3930s | moment but |
| 3932s | good news is we have solutions in place |
| 3934s | and you will um know them very quickly |
| 3937s | in that stream here |
| 3938s | yep so the goals are of course improving |
| 3940s | overall service ability i know it's very |
| 3943s | easy just to mention over improving |
| 3944s | server performance but we have made a |
| 3947s | lot of work in this regards |
| 3949s | and we we really looked with the team |
| 3951s | with the full network team also in the |
| 3953s | back end team together with the |
| 3954s | performance team together in all the |
| 3956s | areas which we could uh whichever we |
| 3958s | could improve into the game also in a |
| 3960s | lot of work with the qa together to |
| 3962s | profile everything so with one line you |
| 3964s | will see a little got a lot of good |
| 3966s | improvements regarding these two points |
| 3968s | yeah just to mention here uh since |
| 3971s | obviously we already talked about server |
| 3972s | related issues in the last updates we |
| 3974s | have already implemented some of these |
| 3976s | and we are adding more to this update |
| 3978s | and obviously in the future as well but |
| 3980s | it's an ongoing process and uh some |
| 3982s | things take a longer time so please bear |
| 3984s | with us we are working on this is a very |
| 3986s | high priority uh with big part of the |
| 3989s | team uh so the improvements are coming |
| 3991s | and yeah stefanos said this update also |
| 3993s | has some good improvements for you in |
| 3995s | store and yeah let's take a look at |
| 3997s | those |
| 4000s | yes so we have seen that |
| 4002s | multiple dedicated server crashes |
| 4005s | appeared in the past we have fixed |
| 4008s | many of them really many of them so i |
| 4010s | hope you should not face them anymore in |
| 4012s | the game of course then on the second |
| 4014s | point please lens |
| 4015s | yeah improvements made when dedicated |
| 4017s | server lose connection to server gateway |
| 4019s | so that was also one of the reasons |
| 4021s | which i mentioned before with the domino |
| 4022s | effect that if the if you're having a |
| 4024s | big delay um between server and you |
| 4027s | you're just getting a connection timer |
| 4029s | for example and you're kicked out of the |
| 4030s | game so we made a lot of improvements |
| 4032s | and also we increase the tolerance which |
| 4034s | you can see in the last point here now |
| 4036s | that you have a you can so the |
| 4038s | connection between you and the server |
| 4039s | could take longer a little bit so you'll |
| 4041s | still connect to the server |
| 4044s | exactly so you will disconnect likes |
| 4046s | basically uh |
| 4047s | if you experienced like many disconnects |
| 4049s | in the past it should be uh |
| 4051s | they're more tolerance on a server so |
| 4053s | you won't get disconnected that easily |
| 4055s | anymore |
| 4056s | correct |
| 4057s | but as i mentioned yes with the next |
| 4059s | points i will tell you how we will fight |
| 4061s | against it a little bit to improve also |
| 4063s | your experience of the hunt game |
| 4066s | yes so we have new we have now a new |
| 4068s | system in place for stability |
| 4070s | that means also if yeah if we're getting |
| 4072s | some capacity issues at peaks um that we |
| 4075s | have this system in place now which can |
| 4078s | um just intercept all the |
| 4080s | um capacity issues |
| 4082s | and we hope then with the next new peaks |
| 4085s | we should not run into any issues |
| 4086s | anymore it doesn't matter how much |
| 4087s | players will play hunt it should |
| 4090s | hopefully be then safe and we should not |
| 4091s | see any server downside then yeah some |
| 4094s | of people uh just to uh make them |
| 4096s | understand what it means when you had |
| 4098s | the message that servers are currently |
| 4099s | or occupied and searching for servers |
| 4102s | that issue should be very quickly solved |
| 4104s | now because we can scale up the servers |
| 4106s | very quickly and uh actually in 1.8.1 uh |
| 4110s | we created a test run of it in the asia |
| 4113s | region |
| 4114s | but now with 1.9 it is coming to us as |
| 4117s | well as europe |
| 4119s | correct so asia was our let's say test |
| 4122s | pilot but now with one line we have also |
| 4124s | added for us and europe and then we |
| 4126s | should um should be fine with that |
| 4130s | and uh obviously this is always a work |
| 4132s | in progress and uh more improvements are |
| 4134s | coming over time as i mentioned uh |
| 4136s | earlier as well |
| 4138s | yep |
| 4140s | okay |
| 4141s | reduction |
| 4142s | that's a big one i know a lot of people |
| 4144s | are excited for this one so uh let's |
| 4147s | talk about it |
| 4148s | yeah i've seen a lot of comments already |
| 4150s | about it so it's nice that we're getting |
| 4151s | lots of clarification out of it why are |
| 4153s | we changing it so please spend let's go |
| 4156s | let's see yep so we have reduced the |
| 4159s | time from 60 to 45 minutes and we will |
| 4161s | tell you now why in the next slides so |
| 4164s | only really less than one percent |
| 4167s | maybe every fifth hundred or thousands |
| 4169s | of game right is just longer than 40 |
| 4171s | minutes |
| 4172s | and |
| 4173s | because of the last point on here is |
| 4175s | light |
| 4176s | um it decreases server load if you |
| 4178s | reduce the time and enable also more |
| 4179s | sessions um for us of the servers and |
| 4182s | this |
| 4183s | again will increase the performance of |
| 4185s | servers and also reduce the |
| 4187s | load of hardware like cpu load or etc on |
| 4190s | the servers and because of this i mean |
| 4192s | we've seen the numbers here it's under |
| 4194s | one under one percent so we hope um the |
| 4197s | benefit is big by changing the the |
| 4199s | mission time and also the benefit is big |
| 4201s | for you because you should get a better |
| 4203s | server performance at the end and |
| 4205s | obviously we will monitor uh your |
| 4207s | feedback guys as well uh to see how you |
| 4209s | like this change but i know a lot of you |
| 4211s | are happy about it and uh we can make |
| 4214s | adjustments as needed but for now it is |
| 4216s | going to be 45 minutes |
| 4218s | correct |
| 4221s | and uh okay now let's talk about the big |
| 4223s | one that i know people have been waiting |
| 4226s | for a long time and asking for it |
| 4228s | constantly |
| 4229s | let's talk about the ping limits that we |
| 4232s | are adding and don't worry chad don't go |
| 4234s | crazy just now uh it's gonna be fine so |
| 4237s | let's take a look |
| 4238s | [Music] |
| 4240s | yep so first |
| 4242s | um as i mentioned we have a globally |
| 4244s | open game what you can do in other games |
| 4246s | for example um you can restrict areas |
| 4248s | you can only play in us you can only |
| 4250s | play and you can only play in asia |
| 4252s | you're not able to switch |
| 4254s | between these |
| 4256s | areas right but we would like to still |
| 4258s | give you the chance to play globally but |
| 4260s | there's some restriction now and that's |
| 4262s | also one of the reasons why we |
| 4264s | introduced the pick name feature so the |
| 4266s | first one is |
| 4267s | so the ping limit is at the moment and |
| 4269s | set to 225 milliseconds that is the |
| 4272s | first start |
| 4273s | so based on the statistic we have seen |
| 4275s | there is a good number |
| 4277s | and |
| 4278s | very important point is that you are |
| 4280s | still allowed to play with your friends |
| 4281s | it doesn't matter if you have any ping |
| 4283s | of thousand one hundred thousand of or |
| 4285s | five |
| 4285s | you can still play with your friends |
| 4287s | globally worldwide if you play alone you |
| 4290s | are affected of this rule most likely |
| 4291s | but if you want to play with friends you |
| 4293s | can play with them it doesn't matter it |
| 4295s | doesn't matter in which region yep and |
| 4297s | because as i mentioned because we're |
| 4299s | getting some kind of a control in ryan |
| 4300s | right now with this new feature |
| 4303s | we're reducing the server related |
| 4305s | latency a lot and this also then the |
| 4307s | benefit for you that the server will run |
| 4308s | much better |
| 4311s | yeah i just wanted to mention that |
| 4313s | obviously uh when we were working on |
| 4315s | this feature we kept you guys in mind i |
| 4317s | we know that all of you or a lot of you |
| 4319s | like playing with friends from all |
| 4321s | around the world so this was very |
| 4322s | important to us that that should be |
| 4324s | still possible and we basically targeted |
| 4326s | the uh those players that are trying to |
| 4329s | exploit the system to gain an advantage |
| 4331s | uh by abusing the ping so |
| 4334s | we focusing on those people that are |
| 4337s | using it exploitatively and at the same |
| 4339s | time trying to keep everyone happy so |
| 4341s | you can still play the game as you like |
| 4343s | in the normal way |
| 4345s | absolutely |
| 4347s | and uh yeah so this was just the |
| 4349s | highlight of this but let's dive into |
| 4351s | the actual rules that exactly and also |
| 4354s | how the exceptions work let's see |
| 4358s | correct so as i mentioned you the new |
| 4360s | maximum ping limit is 225 milliseconds |
| 4362s | so as i mentioned that's the start point |
| 4364s | okay we've seen we're getting the |
| 4365s | feedback we can change the number um any |
| 4368s | time but for now that's a starting point |
| 4370s | we think that um it will benefit the |
| 4373s | servers which will also benefit you |
| 4375s | and will also benefit your gameplay |
| 4377s | experience if you see some people who |
| 4379s | lagging around the map right |
| 4381s | um so it's a starting point maybe in the |
| 4384s | future we will improve it to a lower |
| 4386s | number but for now it's 225 milliseconds |
| 4389s | yep and then also |
| 4391s | reforcing |
| 4392s | as i mentioned if you're playing a loan |
| 4394s | let's say you have a ping of 250 |
| 4396s | you're from australia you want to play |
| 4398s | on the on the new server |
| 4400s | and you have a ping of 250 you are not |
| 4402s | allowed on the eu anymore so you can |
| 4406s | check the servers in the overview and |
| 4408s | you can only select the server which is |
| 4411s | under 225 milliseconds or the rule is |
| 4414s | the best server you can get even if you |
| 4417s | have ping of thousands on every server |
| 4419s | the server with the ping of let's say |
| 4421s | one thousand one and the other two |
| 4422s | thousand one thousand three you can |
| 4423s | still play on the server on one thousand |
| 4425s | one so you're not excluded off the game |
| 4427s | so only then defer |
| 4428s | the server with the best ping is |
| 4430s | possible for you |
| 4432s | yeah we will show some examples of these |
| 4434s | in a second in image form as well so you |
| 4436s | can actually see what happens in the |
| 4437s | game |
| 4438s | and we also made some changes to how the |
| 4440s | region selection is highlighted and how |
| 4442s | that works |
| 4445s | so uh there will be some different |
| 4447s | colors uh |
| 4448s | i can go through it as well uh so we |
| 4451s | will have the blue font available for |
| 4453s | all uh those regions with the golden |
| 4454s | background which are the best regions |
| 4457s | for you so optimal regions uh with the |
| 4459s | best being available then with an orange |
| 4461s | font and greyback baron these will be |
| 4463s | the regions where your |
| 4465s | ping is medium or not super optimal but |
| 4468s | still very playable so you can easily |
| 4470s | select those and then obviously red one |
| 4472s | that uh |
| 4473s | stefan already mentioned like you can |
| 4475s | see on the asia one up there it will be |
| 4477s | grayed out and you will be logged out of |
| 4479s | that region |
| 4482s | and and here is the screen so you can |
| 4484s | also see an image example |
| 4487s | uh and as you can see it even warns you |
| 4489s | that some of the regions are blocked out |
| 4491s | for you because your latency is too high |
| 4493s | so you have to select from very slower |
| 4495s | and in this example you can see that the |
| 4497s | two u.s servers are too high |
| 4500s | asia is in the middle and europe uh is |
| 4503s | where you can |
| 4504s | optimally play with the best experience |
| 4507s | correct and also if you click on the |
| 4509s | play button and you have a higher ping |
| 4511s | this screen will appear automatically |
| 4513s | and will tell you please change your |
| 4514s | region |
| 4516s | so don't worry you don't need to do |
| 4518s | something manually then even if you |
| 4520s | click on play you will get reminded |
| 4522s | please use the server with the best |
| 4524s | thing here |
| 4525s | but the exceptions exactly let's see uh |
| 4529s | like as we establish the base rule is a |
| 4531s | 225 ping |
| 4534s | but there are some exceptions which are |
| 4536s | the following |
| 4537s | correct i touched a little bit two |
| 4539s | slides before so the first one is |
| 4541s | the best person reading has higher thing |
| 4543s | that |
| 4544s | 22 uh 222 milliseconds blood player can |
| 4548s | still select the best ping region as i |
| 4549s | mentioned so don't worry you can play |
| 4551s | anytime yeah just to again uh uh tell |
| 4555s | people what it is if let's say you're |
| 4557s | playing from |
| 4558s | uh the antarctica and uh |
| 4560s | your ping is everywhere higher than 225 |
| 4563s | then technically you wouldn't be able to |
| 4565s | play anywhere but |
| 4567s | obviously we want to ensure that |
| 4568s | everyone can still play hunt so we will |
| 4571s | allow you to choose the server that has |
| 4572s | the lowest ping out of all the other |
| 4574s | servers and you can continue playing on |
| 4576s | that server |
| 4578s | and then let's look at the second uh |
| 4581s | exception |
| 4582s | yep so that is of course very important |
| 4584s | for you |
| 4585s | um invite from a brand to region where |
| 4587s | your ping it sees the threshold |
| 4589s | but you're still allowed to play it but |
| 4592s | you're getting warming uh warning pop-up |
| 4594s | that means |
| 4595s | yes you can play with your friend but it |
| 4597s | could affect the gameplay experience |
| 4599s | because of the high latency |
| 4601s | but that's the only pop-up he um just |
| 4603s | providing at the moment but you can play |
| 4605s | with your friends yeah so this was for |
| 4607s | duels when you get invited by one friend |
| 4609s | and obviously you are also able to play |
| 4611s | in teams as usual uh and in both of |
| 4614s | these cases actually the one that |
| 4616s | invites the others is the host lobby so |
| 4619s | the numbers uh the ping numbers will be |
| 4621s | calculated based on his location |
| 4625s | correct |
| 4626s | yeah as you already mentioned yes yeah |
| 4629s | and it's the same same thing and yeah |
| 4631s | let's just see at some screenshots which |
| 4633s | shows what happens |
| 4635s | so this is the |
| 4637s | first exception where your ping is uh |
| 4640s | higher in every region than the allowed |
| 4642s | one and as you can see you can still |
| 4644s | select the lowest one to play on |
| 4648s | and then |
| 4650s | here you can change uh see that uh when |
| 4653s | you get invited into a game the game |
| 4655s | will warn you that your region uh has |
| 4657s | changed and that uh you may uh it may |
| 4660s | impact your gameplay if your ping is too |
| 4661s | high |
| 4664s | and yeah i believe that's it for the |
| 4666s | region look uh |
| 4669s | if you guys have any questions regarding |
| 4671s | the uh uh any of the three topics so |
| 4673s | match timer regional log or the server |
| 4676s | uh fixes ask it now until stefan is here |
| 4679s | and uh after that we are going to move |
| 4682s | over with dennis to all the gameplay |
| 4684s | related changes |
| 4687s | gameplay just one thing i want to add |
| 4688s | like specifically about the ping limit |
| 4691s | discussion i mean obviously like the 225 |
| 4693s | that might sound very large in the |
| 4695s | beginning but i mean rest assured there |
| 4696s | has been some telemetry gathering in the |
| 4698s | background so we've kind of |
| 4700s | taken a more careful step here because |
| 4702s | we also don't want this to be too |
| 4703s | intrusive right away like so this is a |
| 4704s | starting point that we nudge it closer |
| 4706s | to other numbers from there so don't |
| 4708s | freak out yet this will be step by step |
| 4710s | getting closer but we also want to make |
| 4711s | sure that this is becoming too intrusive |
| 4713s | right away and locking people out which |
| 4714s | we don't want to lock out |
| 4716s | so |
| 4716s | let this feature get refined a little |
| 4719s | bit along the way and give us the |
| 4720s | feedback please yeah feedback is always |
| 4723s | very important especially to features |
| 4725s | like this that affect the community and |
| 4726s | how you interact with the game uh so |
| 4728s | that's why task server is also a very |
| 4730s | good place to test this out and let us |
| 4732s | know how you feel if it impacted you in |
| 4734s | any shape player form |
| 4736s | uh by the way stuff and there was a |
| 4737s | question uh which |
| 4739s | yeah a very specific case like what |
| 4741s | happens if you start a game on the |
| 4743s | region that you're fine with but like |
| 4745s | during the game your ping goes over 250 |
| 4747s | can you are you still uh able to finish |
| 4749s | that game or what happens then |
| 4751s | yes you're still able to finish the game |
| 4753s | there's not like a in-game check all the |
| 4755s | time that means if you |
| 4757s | starting to download something to abuse |
| 4759s | something yes it's not the case but um |
| 4764s | so there's no check in game |
| 4766s | all right thank you uh trying to look if |
| 4768s | there's any |
| 4770s | i just wanna wanna stress it out uh |
| 4773s | because i think it's important we might |
| 4774s | just be said it a couple times but i |
| 4776s | really want to make sure this hits home |
| 4777s | like |
| 4778s | it's important that we can always play |
| 4781s | at least in one server right so even if |
| 4783s | you're let's say you're you're a player |
| 4785s | from south africa right you want to play |
| 4787s | on a server |
| 4789s | you can still do that it will be still |
| 4791s | the same experience as before it's just |
| 4793s | that you might be limited in your choice |
| 4794s | of where left and right you might look |
| 4796s | for other servers but there will always |
| 4798s | be one region at least available to you |
| 4800s | and whether you play with someone it's |
| 4802s | always going to be the case that whoever |
| 4804s | is doing the invites is the one the |
| 4806s | calculation is based from so you can |
| 4808s | still play with your friends from across |
| 4809s | the atlantic that's perfectly fine you |
| 4811s | just then cannot just go there with your |
| 4814s | let's say european friends to play on |
| 4815s | maybe some us west server for example in |
| 4818s | case your ping is |
| 4820s | too high for the threshold |
| 4822s | yeah that's uh very important |
| 4824s | i also would like to add um to dennis |
| 4826s | point |
| 4827s | in our statistic we have seen with this |
| 4829s | kind of number at the moment you should |
| 4830s | not be |
| 4831s | afraid that you're not getting much |
| 4834s | players on one region right you should |
| 4836s | there's still enough player base in each |
| 4838s | region with that threshold number that |
| 4840s | means you should find the games very |
| 4841s | easily every time |
| 4844s | we will monitor and we will adjust from |
| 4846s | there obviously this being a thing that |
| 4848s | will go on to the live environment and |
| 4849s | once once it goes to the test server |
| 4851s | which obviously has bigger exposure also |
| 4854s | means you'll see data clearer there and |
| 4856s | then we will also adjust further from |
| 4857s | there like this this is something we're |
| 4859s | monitoring very closely rest assured |
| 4862s | yeah awesome uh someone asked if uh the |
| 4865s | handle or reward for the reused match |
| 4867s | time will that be affected by that or do |
| 4870s | you still get the same early |
| 4872s | extraction bonus uh but i believe it |
| 4875s | will be exactly the same so it won't be |
| 4877s | changed |
| 4880s | i'm not aware of any change there yeah |
| 4882s | uh but obviously uh |
| 4884s | we will have a detailed patch notes up |
| 4886s | as soon as the update hits test server |
| 4888s | so you will be able to read through all |
| 4890s | the changes in detail as well there |
| 4894s | and uh |
| 4896s | i think that it is for now uh from the |
| 4898s | technical feature site so thank you |
| 4901s | stefan for joining us i hope you had fun |
| 4903s | with your first hunt stream |
| 4907s | thanks everyone yeah thank you hope it |
| 4908s | wasn't too scary |
| 4910s | thanks stefan oh stefan is a veteran he |
| 4912s | is doing lots of crisis stuff that's |
| 4914s | true |
| 4915s | thank you again and have a great night |
| 4917s | stefan thank you you too bye bye bye bye |
| 4920s | bye |
| 4923s | yeah just uh drop out if you can so |
| 4927s | awesome and uh now i'm left here with |
| 4930s | dennis hey dennis it's been a while |
| 4932s | it's a good thing yeah i think no |
| 4934s | it's good it's always a good time you |
| 4936s | know |
| 4937s | but it's been been a while so |
| 4940s | yeah i think we have a bunch of gameplay |
| 4943s | changes uh we have to talk about so |
| 4946s | let's just dive into it i think and uh |
| 4948s | starting with the changes to the team |
| 4950s | details uh screen after the games |
| 4952s | i must say like i'm really amazed uh |
| 4955s | just like i mean this being mostly a |
| 4956s | service update has been like discussed |
| 4958s | in the past right like um getting |
| 4960s | stability back and getting performed |
| 4962s | seven we still had a chance to put quite |
| 4963s | a lot of gameplay stuff and i'm really |
| 4964s | happy about all the level changes that |
| 4966s | tom was presenting for level designers |
| 4968s | and hopefully we can add a couple more |
| 4969s | now in this part |
| 4971s | yeah and there's some very exciting |
| 4972s | stuff in there i can |
| 4973s | absolutely absolutely i mean this is |
| 4975s | mostly again also like thematically what |
| 4977s | you can expect today is thematically |
| 4979s | close to like the |
| 4980s | the service nature of things so expect |
| 4982s | lots of balancing lots of like |
| 4983s | improvements |
| 4984s | uh rather than completing new features |
| 4987s | but that's what we announced before so |
| 4989s | let's first talk about the team details |
| 4991s | changes so just to recap the team |
| 4993s | details that's the screen that you can |
| 4994s | access at the end of a match to kind of |
| 4997s | see what team consolations have been in |
| 4999s | that last match of yours like what's the |
| 5001s | mmr ratings or was it a fair match or |
| 5003s | not of the information that you can kind |
| 5005s | of like take from that screen |
| 5007s | but so far uh we've only ever seen the |
| 5010s | information next to each of the players |
| 5012s | this is there in relation to yourself so |
| 5015s | you couldn't really understand like how |
| 5016s | this guy might have interacted for |
| 5017s | example with one of your partners |
| 5019s | and that's what we're adding to the |
| 5021s | screen now to give you a better full |
| 5023s | picture or closer to a full picture of |
| 5024s | what was happening during the round in |
| 5026s | order to make draw conclusions and kind |
| 5028s | of replay it around a little bit in your |
| 5030s | head and see like okay what is this guy |
| 5032s | i had problems with or |
| 5033s | was this that guy that killed me |
| 5035s | so you can kind of like see the yeah the |
| 5038s | missing pieces |
| 5039s | and the yeah so uh |
| 5041s | this also introduced some new uh color |
| 5044s | for this so people can understand |
| 5046s | exactly what you said so how it relates |
| 5048s | to your partner how it relates to you |
| 5050s | and everything is color coded now and |
| 5052s | actually danny's prepared a really |
| 5054s | really cool scenario which we'll go |
| 5056s | through in a second |
| 5057s | really cool i mean yeah it's like a very |
| 5060s | specific gameplay scenario and then |
| 5061s | after uh game detail screen and we'll be |
| 5064s | able to explain everything on that so |
| 5065s | thank you for preparing that dennis as |
| 5067s | well yeah |
| 5068s | we thought that maybe it's just better |
| 5070s | to quickly run through an actual example |
| 5072s | um um so |
| 5074s | uh we'll have a look at it in a second |
| 5075s | then part of that will also be that we |
| 5077s | now have timestamps on the different |
| 5079s | actions so you can kind of like better |
| 5081s | remember okay was this at minute 13 was |
| 5083s | it many minutes um |
| 5084s | 45 like you will know from that um by |
| 5088s | looking at the timestamps which will |
| 5090s | appear if you just hover over each of |
| 5091s | these items it will be really cool like |
| 5093s | you can kind of recap the whole game in |
| 5095s | your head that way and see what happens |
| 5097s | when exactly but let's look at our uh |
| 5100s | sorry i forgot the very important icons |
| 5103s | yeah the last one is we also added one |
| 5106s | uh so we had one already for bounty |
| 5107s | possession in there like so you could |
| 5109s | see which player had a bounty in the |
| 5112s | position but he didn't know whether they |
| 5113s | actually made it out or not |
| 5115s | that's a difference we've now added as |
| 5116s | well so you can see who actually took |
| 5117s | the bounty out in case you were still in |
| 5119s | the match when that happened obviously |
| 5120s | because everything in that list is only |
| 5122s | to the point you leave the session |
| 5123s | yourself |
| 5124s | but it can help you differentiate a |
| 5126s | little bit who was a team that extracted |
| 5128s | who was a team that maybe had the bounty |
| 5129s | but then lost it along the way |
| 5132s | sounds awesome so yeah let's look at our |
| 5134s | scenario |
| 5135s | our example that you created exactly so |
| 5138s | so bear with me on this one for a bit uh |
| 5140s | obviously so we have an example here |
| 5142s | this is like a contract with two bosses |
| 5145s | in that contract you've had one duel |
| 5147s | players a and b a solo player c and |
| 5149s | another solo player d |
| 5151s | now what happened |
| 5153s | so um a and b the duo they killed the |
| 5156s | bosses and took the bounty so they won |
| 5157s | around with four bounty tokens |
| 5159s | now b of that team is being snapped by d |
| 5162s | but gets revived without further |
| 5164s | interaction so like |
| 5165s | long range shot maybe um guys being |
| 5167s | revived they move away the other guy the |
| 5170s | sniper b cannot follow them no further |
| 5172s | interactions between the two teams |
| 5174s | however on the way out c also ambushes a |
| 5177s | and b |
| 5178s | kills them and takes two of the tokens |
| 5180s | keep in mind with two bosses four tokens |
| 5182s | as a solo he can only bring two token |
| 5184s | like tokens out of the mission so |
| 5186s | obviously he takes what he can get |
| 5187s | leaving some behind then c leaves the |
| 5190s | mission uh um |
| 5192s | basically taking the bounty home without |
| 5193s | encountering d so it's a very very basic |
| 5196s | a very very um straightforward scenario |
| 5199s | and let's have a look and what this |
| 5200s | would look like afterwards in the team |
| 5201s | details and the question is is what |
| 5202s | happened to x |
| 5205s | and how many apples he had yeah |
| 5209s | so yeah this will become much clearer |
| 5212s | but i think it's important to run |
| 5213s | through this because you guys will need |
| 5215s | some context as the screen usually is |
| 5217s | only really readable to you based on |
| 5219s | your own session experience so i have to |
| 5221s | kind of build a little bit of a fake |
| 5222s | session with your hands so we can talk |
| 5224s | about it now in this particular case |
| 5226s | what you see is this is the perspective |
| 5227s | from player b |
| 5229s | um |
| 5229s | so his teammate player a you will now |
| 5231s | have a marked in in the color blue so |
| 5234s | kind of like to note that this is your |
| 5235s | teammate this is also relevant because |
| 5238s | on the right hand side you see how icons |
| 5240s | with a blue background are now basically |
| 5242s | or from the perspective of your teammate |
| 5244s | so what happened in this particular |
| 5246s | scenario here is is that |
| 5248s | player b |
| 5250s | got killed by player d so that was the |
| 5252s | sniper in the beginning he was then |
| 5254s | picked up probably like a red scar |
| 5256s | revive of some sort he might have died |
| 5258s | to ei before we don't know that from the |
| 5260s | screen |
| 5261s | and then later on |
| 5262s | he was also downed |
| 5264s | and then killed by player c who then |
| 5268s | took the bounty it seems because he |
| 5269s | extracted with two bounty tokens players |
| 5271s | see that is so again you now have a |
| 5274s | better understanding that like this guy |
| 5275s | here actually downed your partner he |
| 5279s | killed you there might have been some |
| 5280s | revives going on there and he then took |
| 5283s | the bounty and left so just gives you a |
| 5285s | bit more detail give a bit more context |
| 5287s | and we can look at this now from |
| 5288s | different angles as well yeah but just |
| 5290s | to |
| 5291s | explain again the blue color is always |
| 5294s | related to your partner and the white |
| 5296s | exactly as always yeah exactly so so |
| 5298s | player c has downed your partner and has |
| 5300s | killed you |
| 5302s | so |
| 5303s | what else expired like transpired there |
| 5305s | we don't know but that's the key |
| 5306s | information now now we look at this from |
| 5307s | the perspective of player c that's the |
| 5309s | killer like the one that that ambushed |
| 5310s | so |
| 5311s | he sees basically the the duel and he |
| 5315s | sees that um |
| 5316s | he killed one of the duo so this is a |
| 5318s | new variant of the skull icon you see |
| 5320s | little headshot icon little little |
| 5322s | bullet impact on the top there so |
| 5323s | whenever it's affected that player that |
| 5325s | that you see |
| 5327s | in the list then it is um with a little |
| 5329s | skull it can be blue if it was a |
| 5331s | teammate for example or it can be white |
| 5332s | if it was you the same for the death one |
| 5334s | you see right underneath that and if |
| 5337s | it's a normal icon the one that you're |
| 5338s | familiar with because you see it when |
| 5340s | your partner is down or you see it on |
| 5341s | the map that is when someone did |
| 5344s | something to your partner so it's |
| 5345s | important to differentiate between these |
| 5347s | two but obviously the tooltips we will |
| 5349s | see in a second they'll put context to |
| 5350s | it so what we see here is that uh play a |
| 5353s | got downed player b got killed |
| 5356s | um and both of these guys had two tokens |
| 5358s | at one point but since there isn't a |
| 5360s | little extraction icon to the side they |
| 5362s | apparently didn't make it out of the |
| 5363s | mission and then with player d there was |
| 5366s | no interaction |
| 5368s | and now looking from player d's |
| 5369s | perspective again |
| 5371s | he also had some interaction with player |
| 5373s | b like he sniped him from a distance he |
| 5375s | didn't have any interaction with player |
| 5377s | a and both of those had like bounty |
| 5379s | tokens but again they didn't make it out |
| 5381s | but player c the one he didn't have any |
| 5383s | interaction with um actually took the |
| 5385s | bounty and extracted with it but they |
| 5387s | didn't meet at all so rather |
| 5390s | straightforward just gives you a bit |
| 5391s | more information and we'll see that with |
| 5393s | the tooltips now and i think in the next |
| 5394s | one what actually means so like if you |
| 5397s | if you take a look now at player c's |
| 5399s | line um the blue one here is that uh |
| 5402s | basically this hunter downed your |
| 5403s | teammate and then you see the timestamp |
| 5405s | and when exactly it happened |
| 5406s | and then with the next one |
| 5409s | you can see actually multiple events |
| 5410s | here and this is something which is a |
| 5412s | little bit of a bug at the moment |
| 5413s | because normally if there's multiple |
| 5414s | events you would see little yellow icon |
| 5417s | on the bottom right corner |
| 5419s | of each of those just to denote that |
| 5420s | there's more things that that occur |
| 5422s | there in case there's multiple actions |
| 5423s | that wasn't in this example where we |
| 5425s | took the screenshots from but still you |
| 5426s | see he kind of downed you at one point |
| 5428s | and then he killed you a little bit |
| 5430s | later so probably that guy got killed |
| 5431s | during the revive or right after uh |
| 5433s | since it was so close to one another and |
| 5434s | then the last one here is the bounty uh |
| 5437s | point so he kind of took two bounty |
| 5438s | tokens here |
| 5439s | and then he extracted with a bound a |
| 5441s | little bit later down the line so again |
| 5443s | just gives you a bit more context of |
| 5444s | what's going on adding now the |
| 5446s | information of the teammate into this as |
| 5448s | the primary thing but also giving you a |
| 5450s | bit more context to what happens with |
| 5451s | the bounty in terms of possession and |
| 5453s | extraction yeah exactly and uh |
| 5455s | i saw that some people think this was |
| 5457s | confusing it's because we looked at from |
| 5459s | three different teams perspective but |
| 5461s | when you have the two tips and when you |
| 5462s | get used to it it's quite |
| 5464s | straightforward and uh you get much more |
| 5466s | information out of the game actually |
| 5467s | than before so i think it's a great |
| 5469s | change yeah so it was important to just |
| 5471s | run through this example now because |
| 5473s | people want to probably rewind a little |
| 5474s | bit afterwards and just like take notice |
| 5476s | and and dissect it but this will be so |
| 5478s | clear the moment you will be on the |
| 5479s | tester and actually try it out |
| 5480s | yourselves it just adds more information |
| 5482s | to the rules that you already have it |
| 5483s | just refines a little bit more |
| 5485s | and also please check on the the patchy |
| 5488s | notes then later on where you can see |
| 5490s | this all written down a little bit more |
| 5491s | in detail as well so that was the |
| 5493s | complicated part let's go to the easy |
| 5495s | stuff |
| 5496s | okay so uh let's get into weapon related |
| 5500s | stuff and uh starting with off with some |
| 5502s | audio improvements that were made in |
| 5504s | this update and uh this is uh mainly |
| 5507s | done to uh distance gunshot sounds |
| 5510s | suddenly we can't give you the exact |
| 5512s | distance but it's about a compound |
| 5514s | distance from you where you hear a shot |
| 5517s | and they will have a different sound |
| 5518s | effect for you to better understand what |
| 5521s | is really happening and their distance |
| 5523s | so better readability audio wise and in |
| 5526s | a second we also show you some examples |
| 5528s | of this |
| 5530s | so yeah as i mentioned this applies over |
| 5531s | long distance shot and you will be able |
| 5534s | to differentiate very well between shots |
| 5536s | that happened outside in an open area |
| 5539s | and between shots that happen inside a |
| 5541s | compound or underground and such there |
| 5543s | will be a very different audio to this |
| 5545s | and you will be able to tell the |
| 5547s | difference so |
| 5549s | uh yeah but before we get started with |
| 5551s | the videos um so there's this one thing |
| 5553s | that um |
| 5554s | you guys are probably very familiar with |
| 5556s | is that at a distance right now in life |
| 5558s | it's very hard to differentiate whether |
| 5560s | a shot was from indoors or outdoor so |
| 5562s | you really only get that difference now |
| 5564s | if you're very close by let's say i |
| 5565s | think within 200 meters but anything at |
| 5567s | a distance there was no no noticeable |
| 5569s | difference whatsoever so you couldn't |
| 5571s | really tell if like a shot came from the |
| 5572s | southeast if that was like maybe from an |
| 5574s | underground section or if there was like |
| 5576s | from |
| 5576s | from from from an indoor area so that is |
| 5579s | what changes primarily now that you can |
| 5580s | have a better chance of understanding |
| 5582s | where the shot originates from even at |
| 5584s | longer distances |
| 5586s | exactly and it's actually very very |
| 5587s | audible and we have two different |
| 5589s | examples for you |
| 5591s | so we will shush up a bit and uh let's |
| 5594s | watch uh the video |
| 5597s | so uh on the map you can see the |
| 5598s | distance between the four players |
| 5603s | this is how it stands in first person |
| 5605s | when you shoot |
| 5607s | obviously yeah |
| 5619s | just pause here for a second so in the |
| 5621s | first example you should uh could hear |
| 5623s | the two shots in the distance and they |
| 5625s | had this tail after the audio so there |
| 5627s | was a longer sound that that is very new |
| 5630s | and when it was inside you could hear |
| 5632s | that it's much much more muffled and |
| 5634s | let's just listen to it a bit more |
| 5643s | [Applause] |
| 5651s | [Applause] |
| 5674s | so yeah what you could hear here |
| 5676s | basically is really the tail right that |
| 5678s | gave it away um if it's if it's more |
| 5680s | more kind of muffled a little bit then |
| 5682s | usually it's an indoor sound if it has a |
| 5684s | long echoing tail then that's the |
| 5687s | outsole zone and before like what's |
| 5689s | currently on live this was only really a |
| 5690s | thing up to a certain range but not over |
| 5693s | long distances and now the new system |
| 5695s | allows for that level of granularity |
| 5696s | even at distance and that just makes the |
| 5698s | whole thing feel a lot nicer and |
| 5699s | actually gives you a chance to kind of |
| 5701s | like tell from that a little bit more |
| 5702s | where the shot might be originating from |
| 5705s | exactly and by the way dennis meanwhile |
| 5707s | i figured out why there's so many |
| 5708s | first-person shots i think it signals to |
| 5710s | the other player to shoot so they you |
| 5712s | know |
| 5713s | i'm pretty sure that's why but we have |
| 5715s | one more example to look at make sense |
| 5717s | yeah |
| 5718s | so uh yeah uh let's see |
| 5723s | i think it will be an uh uppercut and |
| 5726s | the sparks |
| 5727s | i think so |
| 5742s | so these were the shots outside and you |
| 5744s | can even see them moving inside on the |
| 5745s | screen if you have a very good eye |
| 5770s | and now it's gonna be the uppercut |
| 5799s | all right |
| 5800s | yeah so obviously if you listen to it or |
| 5802s | you can just go back and check it out |
| 5803s | again the changes are fairly obvious |
| 5805s | actually uh but you will also experience |
| 5808s | it in game when it will be much easier |
| 5810s | to tell |
| 5812s | if it's inside or outside and the |
| 5813s | distance of the shots |
| 5815s | listen for the tail |
| 5817s | and um if you don't hear it if it's a |
| 5819s | very short zone it's there's a high |
| 5820s | chance it was somehow indoors and that |
| 5822s | could have been in a boss arena it could |
| 5823s | have been in a small shack other |
| 5825s | buildings that generate this underground |
| 5827s | sections so um i think it can tell quite |
| 5830s | a bit in terms of where maybe the shot |
| 5831s | might actually originating from like are |
| 5833s | they fighting the boss well if it's an |
| 5834s | indoor zone there's a higher chance |
| 5836s | probably for that to be the case |
| 5837s | so it just gives you more information if |
| 5839s | you know how to listen to it exactly |
| 5841s | like a hunt is so audio-based everything |
| 5843s | makes a sound so it's just more info for |
| 5845s | you and i think it's just creates more |
| 5847s | immersion too in general it's like i i |
| 5849s | find it really cool all the little audio |
| 5851s | changes we've been adding lately |
| 5853s | with the horses as well in the distance |
| 5855s | so it's awesome uh but uh yeah that's |
| 5858s | about the audio weapon changes so that |
| 5860s | is i think now we getting to your |
| 5862s | favorite parts of the stream |
| 5865s | yeah so we talked a bit about about some |
| 5866s | of the weapons and how we how we're |
| 5868s | tuning them so let's start with the |
| 5869s | centennial um so centennial i personally |
| 5872s | use it a lot and uh i always get so much |
| 5874s | flack for it like this you should go why |
| 5875s | you use it you just you just use it to |
| 5877s | show us that people can actually use it |
| 5880s | fair enough but so um i was kind of |
| 5883s | happy with it but it was always a bit |
| 5885s | pressed for for its place there was |
| 5887s | always some pressure on the gun and we |
| 5888s | just want to make sure that it has a bit |
| 5890s | of an easier time you know compares to |
| 5892s | the rest so a couple things we did um |
| 5894s | the primary thing is that increasing the |
| 5896s | rate of fire across the board by 20 |
| 5898s | so this basically means that like uh |
| 5900s | shooting uh ads shooting from from the |
| 5902s | shoulders as well as uh the levering |
| 5905s | overall will be a little bit faster i |
| 5907s | mean the as you know leveling was always |
| 5908s | kind of bit on the on the slow side of |
| 5911s | it and it's still 20 of slow is still |
| 5913s | kind of slow but it is a little bit |
| 5915s | better so don't expect this thing to |
| 5917s | rapid fire like the like the winfield c |
| 5919s | or or any of the other like smaller |
| 5920s | caliber ones um but still it will it |
| 5923s | will be able to just fire just a little |
| 5925s | bit better a little bit faster and that |
| 5927s | should just make the whole thing feel a |
| 5928s | bit more like as you control of what's |
| 5930s | going on |
| 5932s | yeah and it's across the board so it inc |
| 5935s | includes all the aiming types so aiming |
| 5937s | down downside shoulder aim |
| 5939s | and also the traits that you can use so |
| 5941s | iron repeater or levering as well |
| 5944s | exactly and uh |
| 5946s | let's look at some example videos then |
| 5948s | how it was before and after uh starting |
| 5951s | with adia singing iron sight |
| 5954s | the old version first |
| 5978s | yes so that was the old one and let's |
| 5980s | look at the change with the increased |
| 5981s | rate of fire |
| 6000s | yeah so i think the change on that is |
| 6001s | quite obvious and uh it just feels |
| 6003s | better especially if you shoot that much |
| 6005s | like in the video |
| 6006s | that 20 really adds up |
| 6010s | uh but let's uh look at uh hipfire or |
| 6013s | shoulder aim |
| 6015s | uh and the old version |
| 6019s | that was |
| 6020s | yeah |
| 6022s | yeah you mix up the names there or |
| 6024s | something yeah |
| 6026s | because before i think it was also the |
| 6028s | repeater yeah um |
| 6030s | let me define the |
| 6032s | okay the correct one |
| 6034s | yeah so this is the hip fire i'm sorry |
| 6047s | so this is the oil hip fire again |
| 6053s | and here's the new one |
| 6059s | all right so here it's much more clearer |
| 6060s | now yeah so ignore the videos from |
| 6062s | before the context now shoulder aim so |
| 6064s | this is like a 20 faster now between |
| 6066s | this and the previous video i think |
| 6067s | that's like the best comparison there |
| 6069s | i mean again best thing is to just try |
| 6071s | this out let's let's not uh um hurt the |
| 6073s | people with more gunshot sounds uh it's |
| 6076s | quite a lot of ammunition in that weapon |
| 6077s | but i think they got the point let's |
| 6079s | move on to the next one |
| 6080s | i just wanted to show the levering |
| 6081s | example |
| 6085s | so this is the old one |
| 6089s | and uh |
| 6090s | here is the new one |
| 6096s | okay i think this is really cool yeah |
| 6098s | it's like like the 20 on top it really |
| 6099s | makes difference like it before it kind |
| 6101s | of felt like so why is it not doing |
| 6103s | anything now for like split second right |
| 6104s | before it continues it felt a bit |
| 6106s | robotic |
| 6107s | um and now it feels a bit smoother |
| 6109s | because of that obviously still same off |
| 6111s | of control issues as before and it's |
| 6113s | still not the i guess most reliable of |
| 6116s | leverings um i still prefer to when you |
| 6117s | see when it comes to that |
| 6119s | but it does have uh more of a it does |
| 6122s | give more of a fighting chance now |
| 6124s | all right so uh again make sure to like |
| 6126s | play around with the centennial on test |
| 6128s | servers and let us know how you feel |
| 6129s | with all the changes regarding it rate |
| 6132s | of fire uh yeah so i seen people asking |
| 6134s | about this rof as daddy's mentioned it's |
| 6136s | rate of fire and after the videos it |
| 6138s | should be quite obvious as well |
| 6141s | but uh let's move on to the terminus |
| 6144s | changes dennis let's see what's there |
| 6146s | yeah so same treatment there but |
| 6148s | differently |
| 6150s | um so with the terminus we've been |
| 6151s | focusing primarily on the reload rather |
| 6154s | than the shooting because um the reload |
| 6156s | was actually what made the whole thing |
| 6157s | feel very slow hard to control it was |
| 6159s | like taking ages to put like a new shell |
| 6161s | in even with a cycling mechanism not |
| 6163s | being the most modern right like it has |
| 6165s | its flaws like it still felt like it |
| 6167s | could be just like speeding up a little |
| 6169s | bit because it's like a live and death |
| 6170s | thing here and now by increasing the |
| 6172s | reload speed by 20 which makes the whole |
| 6174s | thing a little bit better to to kind of |
| 6177s | top up and it doesn't feel like you're |
| 6178s | losing so much time between shots and |
| 6180s | actually gives you a bit of chance to |
| 6181s | respond and we also at the same time did |
| 6183s | a little bit of a smoothing pass across |
| 6185s | the firing animations and and the |
| 6187s | timings there and that resulted in |
| 6189s | roughly five percent of a fire rate |
| 6190s | increase as well |
| 6192s | uh exactly and uh we have some all the |
| 6194s | new examples for this as well uh so |
| 6198s | let's look at uh some of the old version |
| 6201s | and this will show a bunch of stuff |
| 6202s | actually |
| 6205s | so this is the fire |
| 6215s | and then the reload obviously this is |
| 6218s | currently on live |
| 6219s | yeah the old one slow one takes you ages |
| 6222s | it was always so slow that's why i |
| 6225s | it was not my favorite i shot again to |
| 6227s | use actually |
| 6230s | so like it gets it eventually but you're |
| 6232s | probably dead two times over already |
| 6234s | exactly |
| 6236s | and this is the 80s |
| 6243s | and let's see how it's uh changed in 1.9 |
| 6247s | so |
| 6248s | hit fire |
| 6253s | so you can see like this very very minor |
| 6255s | increase in the rate of fire so it's |
| 6257s | just a little bit more of a cleanup but |
| 6260s | here this is where the magic starts so |
| 6262s | this is where you actually reload this |
| 6263s | thing and actually have a chance it |
| 6264s | still takes a long time obviously to put |
| 6266s | the rounds in just like with any weapon |
| 6267s | we reload one around after the other but |
| 6269s | overall feels so much smoother like he |
| 6270s | feels like the air weapon is actually |
| 6271s | doing what you want |
| 6273s | and that helps quite a lot |
| 6276s | exactly i think in general it just feels |
| 6278s | a bit smoother and |
| 6280s | not |
| 6281s | that super mega clunky when you reload |
| 6286s | and let's look at the examples with the |
| 6289s | levering as well for this weapon |
| 6291s | so the old version alive like as in live |
| 6296s | as you can see here like it uh kind of |
| 6299s | fired slow but felt fire steady it was |
| 6301s | more about aiming which was the issue |
| 6303s | like getting the target back on back on |
| 6304s | on your sides |
| 6306s | and there isn't too much of a change |
| 6308s | here against like the five percent |
| 6309s | change roughly that translates into it |
| 6313s | and uh obviously the last |
| 6315s | uh trade that affects it is the iron |
| 6318s | repeater |
| 6320s | i can also show here |
| 6326s | this is the old version again |
| 6333s | and here is the new on 1.9 |
| 6341s | it just slightly little change feels a |
| 6344s | bit snappier right like just a little |
| 6345s | bit i think you can actually tell like |
| 6347s | uh |
| 6348s | i know it's just around five percent |
| 6350s | change but you can still feel it a bit |
| 6352s | smoother in general so i really like it |
| 6356s | yeah so like between the the the um |
| 6358s | centennial and the terminus i mean both |
| 6360s | weapons uh that i really enjoy playing |
| 6362s | but like they have always had a bit of a |
| 6364s | like they were always like like one step |
| 6366s | below some of their competitors and that |
| 6368s | hopefully just evens the playing field a |
| 6370s | little bit |
| 6371s | brings them back up more as as well as |
| 6372s | choices for some people |
| 6374s | awesome and but that's not all the |
| 6376s | balance changes we have and we have a |
| 6379s | very big one actually i guess in terms |
| 6382s | of excitement |
| 6384s | which is |
| 6385s | a change to the long ammo pistol balance |
| 6391s | yeah so |
| 6392s | for what we will talk about now it will |
| 6394s | only affect the uppercut |
| 6396s | for the moment |
| 6397s | for now yes |
| 6399s | that might mean there might be other |
| 6400s | things up in uh |
| 6403s | coming out eventually or soon or maybe a |
| 6405s | bit later we don't know we'll talk about |
| 6407s | it more in the future but this is in |
| 6409s | preparation of that but obviously also |
| 6411s | will affect the uppercut |
| 6413s | we think for the better |
| 6417s | exactly so this is this is basically i |
| 6419s | mean just show the next one already as |
| 6420s | well we're going to talk about them |
| 6421s | together so this is going to be shifting |
| 6423s | side side shifting the weapon slightly |
| 6426s | about reducing the damage at close range |
| 6428s | just a notch just a little bit while |
| 6430s | retaining actually a bit more damage |
| 6431s | than it does right now um um yeah over |
| 6434s | distance so the idea behind this is is |
| 6436s | that um we would like the uppercut to no |
| 6439s | longer down someone at |
| 6442s | hit points at the same range it does at |
| 6444s | the moment it will still be able to do |
| 6445s | it just like 10 meters less than it can |
| 6447s | do right now so right now this is i |
| 6449s | think 30 meters it can do that and it |
| 6451s | will be around 20 meters now so just a |
| 6453s | small reduction in in its base damage in |
| 6456s | order to achieve that a goal so it is |
| 6458s | below 125. |
| 6459s | on the other hand however it retains a |
| 6461s | lot more of the damage over distance |
| 6463s | which means you can actually kill people |
| 6464s | on their last 50 even further out than |
| 6467s | before and it has some knock-on effects |
| 6468s | also obviously for the headshot range so |
| 6471s | effective range in order to snipe people |
| 6472s | at distance so let's have a look at that |
| 6475s | in the graphs |
| 6477s | um so this is that i think people will |
| 6479s | be kind of split whether they called as |
| 6481s | a buff or nerf we don't think it's |
| 6483s | either we think it's it's a side change |
| 6485s | that kind of shifts the weapon just a |
| 6486s | little bit so if you take a look at the |
| 6488s | old one the orange one you see it's |
| 6490s | starting point is just a little bit |
| 6491s | higher than that and that meant that you |
| 6492s | could get to 126 damage |
| 6495s | like at 30 meters and uh with the with a |
| 6498s | changed version it's going to be around |
| 6500s | 20 meters so that's where like a bit of |
| 6502s | a nerf is happening in the short range |
| 6504s | then again over distance you can see the |
| 6505s | long ammo actually retains that damage a |
| 6508s | little bit further out so you see it's |
| 6510s | staying over 50 damage for quite some |
| 6512s | time |
| 6513s | before dropping down and then eventually |
| 6514s | obviously whether it's 19 or 12 at that |
| 6516s | long distance doesn't matter that much |
| 6518s | but there is a knock on effect if you go |
| 6520s | to the next one |
| 6521s | which is the headshot range is that |
| 6523s | because of the way the curve is adjusted |
| 6525s | and obviously headshot damage is being |
| 6527s | higher and it has an effect on the |
| 6528s | effective range effective range is |
| 6530s | basically the stat that tells you at |
| 6532s | which range can you do a headshot like |
| 6533s | one that kill 150 head points dead and |
| 6536s | you can see right now is that you are |
| 6537s | gaining quite a few meters with that's |
| 6539s | 215 so that's basically the weapon |
| 6541s | becomes more of a pocket rifle further |
| 6543s | even because it actually extends the |
| 6545s | range of the weapon quite quite a bit |
| 6547s | but it is becoming a bit less flexible |
| 6550s | less of an all-rounder up close where |
| 6552s | maybe some of the other pistols will be |
| 6553s | better choice for you you have to make |
| 6555s | that your choice yourself obviously |
| 6557s | because you can't just easily kill that |
| 6559s | dude that you downed earlier maybe just |
| 6561s | down one more time just with a body shot |
| 6563s | um because it might do now less than 125 |
| 6565s | damage rather than being reliably above |
| 6568s | before again this is only for this very |
| 6570s | short distance of 20 meters we're |
| 6572s | talking about uh so so within that |
| 6574s | everything is fine as before only after |
| 6576s | that um |
| 6578s | will it not be enough anymore to to down |
| 6580s | the guy that has lost already a small |
| 6582s | chunk yeah and again just to mention it |
| 6584s | slightly it is basically to give place |
| 6586s | maybe for something that will come |
| 6590s | maybe one point |
| 6592s | so so the preparation of this you can |
| 6594s | already see like it's it's about like |
| 6596s | moving the uppercut into a specific |
| 6599s | direction moving it into what it should |
| 6601s | what it shouldn't do etc and yes as |
| 6603s | pence was saying like this is in |
| 6605s | preparation for something that's that we |
| 6606s | can talk about more in one of the next |
| 6608s | streams i guess exactly yeah awesome and |
| 6611s | uh again just test it out on that server |
| 6613s | and let us know how you feel about this |
| 6615s | change as well |
| 6617s | uh and i've seen people already |
| 6618s | mentioning are asking for this in chat |
| 6621s | but uh let's see what happens to the |
| 6624s | slugs so the slug balance pass |
| 6627s | yes slacks big big an important topic so |
| 6630s | first thing we're doing for slugs is we |
| 6632s | reduce the effective range for medium |
| 6633s | barrel length variants now what does |
| 6635s | that mean |
| 6636s | um primarily like for the shotguns when |
| 6639s | you shoot shot for example um there is a |
| 6641s | clear distinction between the different |
| 6643s | barrel lengths of shotguns we have in |
| 6644s | the game so like the sawn offs being |
| 6646s | being uh like short barrels then we have |
| 6649s | the the rival the the slate as well as |
| 6651s | the um |
| 6653s | the sp specter with the bionet being |
| 6655s | medium barrel length and then we have |
| 6656s | the romero the full length spectre as |
| 6659s | well as the auto five being long barrel |
| 6661s | and that has an effect on the choke it |
| 6662s | has an effect on how the weapon spreads |
| 6664s | when you fire shot however it did not |
| 6667s | really have so much of a difference uh |
| 6669s | when it comes to slacks and that's |
| 6670s | something we're changing now be so until |
| 6672s | now |
| 6673s | slugs have only been separated between |
| 6675s | the sawn offs and the others which means |
| 6677s | in practice the slugs are fired from |
| 6680s | let's say a specter with a bayonet and |
| 6682s | the specter without a buying it has been |
| 6684s | pretty much the same there was no clear |
| 6686s | distinction between that the only |
| 6687s | difference was that obviously the |
| 6688s | bayonet gave you a stronger sway for |
| 6690s | aiming which actually mattered for slugs |
| 6692s | but the actual projectile was identical |
| 6695s | now by introducing this difference is |
| 6697s | that we can now bring a bit more balance |
| 6699s | into the weapons that we think on the |
| 6701s | slack range they kind of need that the |
| 6703s | most so primarily the slate and the |
| 6705s | rival |
| 6706s | and obviously has a knock-on effect for |
| 6708s | the inspector buying it as well for |
| 6709s | consistency now those will have um just |
| 6713s | slightly less damage |
| 6716s | that means less one-hit kill damage um |
| 6719s | at a distance so you will have just chop |
| 6721s | off like a meter two or three depending |
| 6724s | on the weapon compared to their |
| 6725s | full-sized versions so that means they |
| 6727s | kind of sit like two-thirds i would say |
| 6729s | roughly from the saw knobs towards the |
| 6731s | the full-sized ones when they should |
| 6732s | definitely be a noticeable difference |
| 6734s | for how slugs will then operate with |
| 6736s | these weapons |
| 6738s | um we also adjusted the damage |
| 6740s | multipliers to require more precision to |
| 6741s | hit the upper torso now that means |
| 6743s | basically that you can't score so easily |
| 6745s | anymore a kill by hitting the lower |
| 6747s | torso |
| 6748s | um so you will have to be a bit more |
| 6750s | precise you will have to hit the upper |
| 6751s | torso keep in mind that if an arm is |
| 6753s | blocking it still counts as torso hit |
| 6755s | right system we have for a couple years |
| 6756s | now |
| 6757s | but the lower torso hit zone alone is |
| 6760s | meant to no longer do this at the same |
| 6762s | range so obviously if you're close |
| 6764s | enough fair enough but at a distance at |
| 6766s | one point you will have to hit the upper |
| 6767s | torso in order to to get the reliable |
| 6769s | one and kill so precision matters a |
| 6771s | little bit more for them it's less easy |
| 6773s | to just like like hip shoot and then |
| 6774s | hope for any torso hit to do the job |
| 6777s | you now need to be a bit more precise |
| 6780s | i see a lot of happy people in the chat |
| 6781s | for you so yeah |
| 6783s | i like i like people we do like them |
| 6786s | and the last thing is actually a |
| 6788s | reduction in the spare ammo count as |
| 6790s | well where we drop down the extra |
| 6791s | ammunition for when you carry slugs by |
| 6794s | 30 to 40 percent so that means depending |
| 6797s | on the weapon it's rounded up um you |
| 6798s | might lose like two or three extra |
| 6800s | shells of slugs uh compared to what you |
| 6803s | have on life so in combination we feel |
| 6806s | that this will be quite a nice balancing |
| 6808s | approach of getting those lacks a bit |
| 6809s | under control they're still powerful |
| 6811s | they're meant to be powerful it's |
| 6812s | basically like a caliber 50 or more like |
| 6814s | like musket shot coming down your range |
| 6817s | it's it's quite a big thing |
| 6819s | um and it's powerful and it's meant to |
| 6820s | kill if you were to build realistic |
| 6823s | slacks you basically wouldn't see |
| 6824s | different two rifles i guess in the game |
| 6826s | at the distances that you fight with |
| 6828s | except for precision maybe being being |
| 6829s | different |
| 6830s | um but uh since it's a game and we want |
| 6833s | to make sure that shotguns and rifles |
| 6834s | each have their own place and the slacks |
| 6836s | kind of kind of cannibalize in kind of |
| 6838s | like in in both camps a little bit |
| 6841s | this approach of how we establish slacks |
| 6843s | in hunts uh something we still want to |
| 6844s | hold on to but there was some balancing |
| 6846s | needed in order to make sure this whole |
| 6847s | thing is just |
| 6849s | better distributed and fairly |
| 6850s | distributed and overall more |
| 6852s | consistently applied |
| 6854s | so yeah tell us what you think about |
| 6855s | that one again on the test server then |
| 6858s | once once once it goes there |
| 6860s | it's easy for us to do further |
| 6862s | adjustments but first we want to see how |
| 6863s | this one goes and then if there's if |
| 6865s | there's any feedback from your side that |
| 6867s | we should move in one or the other |
| 6868s | direction with it so this one time we |
| 6870s | ask everyone to play with us live |
| 6872s | and uh yeah just see the changes let us |
| 6874s | know how you feel and uh obviously we |
| 6876s | always read your feedback on all |
| 6877s | platforms uh and we can make changes |
| 6880s | according to how you feel about it as |
| 6881s | well but uh i i think and |
| 6884s | i think a lot of people can agree with |
| 6886s | it that this is a good direction for |
| 6887s | sure and it has its own place now a bit |
| 6889s | better |
| 6891s | yeah give it a try |
| 6894s | yep and let's look at the poison changes |
| 6897s | uh that we're adding |
| 6899s | i like that this is the only slide in |
| 6900s | the presentation with a with a like a |
| 6902s | green header we have to go for the style |
| 6904s | then |
| 6908s | um so for poison it's it's basically a |
| 6911s | similar changes we've been doing to |
| 6912s | incendiary bullets in the past is that |
| 6914s | for poison bullets so that excludes for |
| 6917s | example crossbow or any area effect |
| 6919s | stuff |
| 6920s | they just use the same damage as the |
| 6921s | normal ammunition does so you still have |
| 6923s | the handicap of not being able to |
| 6924s | penetrate walls because they kind of |
| 6925s | like |
| 6926s | burst on impact right |
| 6929s | but it gives you a chance to kind of |
| 6931s | play with the silenced weapon as if you |
| 6932s | had the normal one just as you can do |
| 6934s | with the incendiary versus the normal |
| 6936s | one as well so makes the whole thing |
| 6938s | hopefully a little bit more interesting |
| 6939s | for pvp specifically since some of the |
| 6940s | weaker weapons like winfield etc like |
| 6942s | you really felt that that damage nerf |
| 6945s | compared to the basic ammunition |
| 6947s | um so this should um just help at least |
| 6951s | extend your ground in a fight um |
| 6953s | obviously if the guy is smart and uses |
| 6954s | cover you're still disadvantaged just |
| 6956s | like you know with some of the other |
| 6957s | special emission types so i think this |
| 6959s | is just a very small change but it's |
| 6961s | also a good and healthy one i i really |
| 6963s | like it because now i will play uh |
| 6965s | sparks not a lot more with custom memos |
| 6967s | so i i |
| 6970s | uh |
| 6971s | that was it for the poison change so |
| 6973s | again yeah just one thing so |
| 6976s | systemically obviously since they have |
| 6977s | more damage it also means ai might die a |
| 6979s | few meters further out right um so as |
| 6982s | it uses multipliers to |
| 6985s | uh kind of like calculate the total |
| 6986s | damage based hit location distance etc |
| 6988s | right so if there's higher base damage |
| 6990s | it also means that you might kill things |
| 6992s | at a further damage out like further |
| 6994s | range a little bit easier but we're |
| 6996s | talking just about a few meters so |
| 6997s | so someone has together so if it can't |
| 6999s | penetrate how does it deal the same |
| 7001s | damage maybe just like explaining that |
| 7004s | like the poison it's the poison that |
| 7005s | does the damage |
| 7007s | exactly |
| 7009s | it's just from a gameplay balancing |
| 7010s | perspective we wanted this to be a pve |
| 7012s | ammunition in the beginning right and we |
| 7015s | never really had a chance to really push |
| 7016s | this into the middle because people |
| 7017s | always eventually will fight other |
| 7019s | players and then they are disadvantaged |
| 7020s | if they commit to any of the poisoned |
| 7022s | weapons so what might be very good |
| 7023s | against ai i mean i think like like |
| 7025s | nagan silencer with poison ammo is just |
| 7027s | just such a bless when you just |
| 7028s | basically slice like through butter |
| 7031s | as you move forward like playing solo |
| 7033s | like having dual silence and against |
| 7035s | with poison ammo for me just means i can |
| 7037s | remove almost any ai with ease that's |
| 7040s | getting my way which allows me to move |
| 7041s | fast quickly relocate however |
| 7044s | at pvp it's in areas like major |
| 7046s | disadvantage and at least that is now |
| 7048s | from a damage output perspective is gone |
| 7050s | now |
| 7052s | yeah sounds good uh and also we are also |
| 7054s | looking for feedback regarding this but |
| 7056s | uh since we already on this side we also |
| 7059s | have some melee weapon changes uh and we |
| 7062s | actually have them in two different |
| 7064s | categories so the first pump would be |
| 7066s | the stamina based changes uh meaning the |
| 7069s | changes were |
| 7070s | based on the stamina consumption of |
| 7072s | those weapons and uh yeah so one more |
| 7076s | heavier pep is now possible with a few |
| 7079s | uh weapons such as the heavy knife |
| 7082s | and the saber |
| 7084s | yes let's talk about them one after the |
| 7085s | other so the heavy knife um one of the |
| 7088s | balancing things that we have been |
| 7090s | always trying to keep and maintain was |
| 7092s | the balance between the heavy knife and |
| 7094s | the regular knife and |
| 7095s | one of the things that's that's um |
| 7098s | we used to kind of differentiate them |
| 7100s | with is that the normal knife can always |
| 7101s | do four heavy attacks while the heavy |
| 7104s | knife could not |
| 7105s | and |
| 7106s | while in general that approach was okay |
| 7108s | it didn't really reflect the reality of |
| 7110s | how these weapons are being used because |
| 7112s | the heavy knife actually is more |
| 7113s | effective against normal ei if you just |
| 7115s | use a regular attack so you can just |
| 7116s | easily kill them with it with like um |
| 7118s | slashes to like the upper dosa head area |
| 7120s | uh while the heavy attack is more used |
| 7122s | against like like bigger threats now |
| 7124s | that left you to severe disadvantage for |
| 7126s | example when you went up against like a |
| 7128s | pack of hellhounds with a heavy knife |
| 7130s | like especially since we introduced like |
| 7132s | the throwing axe which is kind of |
| 7134s | overlapping a little bit with a heavy |
| 7135s | knife as well |
| 7136s | well takes more stamina and but you can |
| 7139s | throw it like it overall felt like the |
| 7140s | heavy knife is getting a lot of pressure |
| 7142s | from from multiple directions now so |
| 7144s | giving it one more heavy attack so |
| 7146s | reducing the stamina consumption so that |
| 7148s | you can do one more heavy attack |
| 7150s | um felt like we're actually opening a |
| 7152s | bit more room for that weapon and |
| 7153s | hopefully we also see the numbers go up |
| 7155s | a little bit in terms of usage with it |
| 7158s | compared to how it is being played on |
| 7160s | right now for the saber it's a similar |
| 7163s | thing however |
| 7164s | the saber is more about like that we |
| 7166s | felt most people usually bring bayonets |
| 7169s | if they want to have that type of |
| 7170s | gameplay and that means you can get gun |
| 7171s | you can get a gets get get the step |
| 7173s | attack usually like two or so steps is |
| 7175s | enough to deal with most things coming |
| 7177s | your way so the dedicated saver felt |
| 7180s | sometimes as if it's a little bit out of |
| 7181s | place like like why sacrifice that one |
| 7183s | slot that you could use for a pistol |
| 7185s | just for this edit melee option so at |
| 7187s | least we want to make it sure that like |
| 7188s | it's a bit more worthwhile even even |
| 7190s | though it wasn't probably the biggest of |
| 7191s | an issue by just giving you also one |
| 7193s | more heavy attack you can do with it |
| 7194s | just over making the zebra a bit more of |
| 7196s | a flexible choice yeah i think those uh |
| 7199s | will be appreciated by especially those |
| 7201s | that love the heavy knife like myself so |
| 7204s | uh great stuff |
| 7205s | but as mentioned earlier we also have a |
| 7207s | different category of melee weapon |
| 7209s | changes which were based on damage and |
| 7212s | uh |
| 7213s | this will affect the machete |
| 7216s | first of all so let's talk about the |
| 7218s | machete first um so the |
| 7220s | um thing here is like we we didn't want |
| 7222s | to do anything with stamina on this one |
| 7224s | because we felt like machete already is |
| 7226s | pretty economic when it comes to stamina |
| 7227s | consumption specifically the regular |
| 7228s | attacks you can just like kill them |
| 7230s | almost like any eye coming your way |
| 7231s | easily within two strikes and don't run |
| 7233s | out of semi not easily so was the |
| 7235s | problem and uh instead we felt like the |
| 7238s | weapon is just a bit underperforming so |
| 7240s | what we did is increase the heavy bass |
| 7242s | heavy attack base damage slightly um |
| 7245s | it's not gonna insta kill players so we |
| 7247s | didn't take it that far up remember some |
| 7249s | people have been with us for some time |
| 7250s | and you know how the machete was in past |
| 7253s | days um so we didn't want to go directly |
| 7255s | back to that |
| 7256s | however like before it was like 110 120 |
| 7259s | damage to torso now it's like 135 it |
| 7261s | does the heavy bleeding stuff so it's |
| 7263s | putting all more pressure on the players |
| 7265s | but it also adds another change here to |
| 7267s | it which is that you can now kill an |
| 7270s | armored into heavy strikes so this is |
| 7272s | similar to what you can do with a step |
| 7275s | of a saber that kind of means that the |
| 7276s | saber and the machete become a bit |
| 7278s | closer just like the heavy knife and the |
| 7280s | knife are biting a bit closer so it's |
| 7281s | more of a style question do you want the |
| 7283s | precision of the stab which i think many |
| 7285s | people will agree is was like the the |
| 7287s | thing that really makes the knife stand |
| 7289s | out over the heavy knife for them the |
| 7290s | reliability of the attack or uh do you |
| 7293s | want uh um like in this case like the |
| 7296s | option to to um |
| 7298s | just to slash and hit multiple enemies |
| 7299s | at the same time for example like like |
| 7301s | doing heavy attacks against uh like a |
| 7303s | group by fel hounds usually means you |
| 7304s | can easily kill two of them at the same |
| 7306s | time |
| 7307s | yeah this is awesome and it really |
| 7310s | reminds me of this one guy named fisk |
| 7312s | who always run around the mashita so |
| 7315s | hope we can see him back in the valley |
| 7316s | too |
| 7318s | yeah i mean it also means like so for |
| 7320s | example i i i have to admit to myself i |
| 7323s | haven't been using the the sickle for |
| 7325s | quite a while and what used to be like a |
| 7327s | heavy knife option for example i haven't |
| 7329s | used used in in i have used quite a lot |
| 7331s | back then but since the throwing axe |
| 7333s | came out i've not used it i really like |
| 7335s | that one just because of just how |
| 7337s | awesome it feels to be using that signal |
| 7339s | um in in malay but i haven't been doing |
| 7341s | that for a while so for me for example |
| 7343s | the changes on the heavy knife will |
| 7344s | definitely mean i'll i'll try that one |
| 7346s | out and with a machete as well i |
| 7348s | definitely want to try out a couple of |
| 7349s | things with a machete more because i |
| 7350s | haven't honestly been using it quite a |
| 7352s | lot recently either so i think it just |
| 7354s | adds a little bit more space to them and |
| 7357s | rather than always going for the saber |
| 7358s | which is what i did when i when i chose |
| 7360s | a melee weapon i will definitely go and |
| 7361s | try out the machete more as well now |
| 7364s | yeah that sounds really nice and but |
| 7366s | dennis it was not the only thing that |
| 7367s | got changed based on damage but |
| 7369s | yeah all the talon variants |
| 7372s | so the talent that's more of a more of a |
| 7374s | bigger change because we are kind of re |
| 7376s | re-envisioning the talent a little bit |
| 7378s | so what what is the talent right now |
| 7380s | let's maybe recap that so the talent |
| 7382s | right now um allows you to do i think |
| 7385s | roughly five or so heavy melee attacks |
| 7387s | and it's a little bit more powerful than |
| 7388s | the machete but it's usually not enough |
| 7390s | to kill ai |
| 7391s | uh easily like it kind of underperforms |
| 7394s | and it doesn't really do the trick for |
| 7396s | for for warranty to bring it along sure |
| 7398s | it's not a bad attachment to have um but |
| 7401s | um |
| 7402s | its role has never been really clear |
| 7403s | right they tried to do like multiple |
| 7405s | things like trigger mobs uh but then |
| 7407s | again also like try to take on the |
| 7409s | bigger enemies killing players sure that |
| 7411s | was possible with it you could want to |
| 7412s | kill the players but against the ai was |
| 7414s | kind of like luster |
| 7415s | so instead of of trying to just tune a |
| 7418s | little bit with it we have reenvisioned |
| 7419s | a little bit what it means so |
| 7421s | it now acts exactly like a strike from |
| 7424s | the combat x or like the x you can find |
| 7426s | in the world |
| 7427s | um however it only has two heavy attacks |
| 7430s | possible now that means that you can |
| 7433s | basically bring it into a boss fight for |
| 7435s | example uh without having to look for an |
| 7438s | axe which is i think probably going to |
| 7439s | be very handsome for for for if you |
| 7442s | uh fight scrapbook for example who stole |
| 7444s | all the all the stuff right but you can |
| 7445s | only do two attacks so normally normal |
| 7448s | combat x allows you to do three strikes |
| 7450s | before you run out of stamina so if you |
| 7452s | didn't bring a stamina shot that one |
| 7454s | definitely gives you options but it is |
| 7456s | kind of limited so what you do with it |
| 7458s | is now you can try to prime the attack |
| 7460s | which you know is very slow and |
| 7461s | cumbersome so it never really leaned |
| 7463s | itself very well to these like combo |
| 7464s | successive strikes you you prime it you |
| 7467s | you do your ambush as before it still |
| 7469s | can can kill players but it does a |
| 7470s | little bit more reliably now even |
| 7472s | but you use that to like one strike an |
| 7474s | armor to use that to to go against the |
| 7476s | boss like you don't use it against |
| 7478s | groups of enemies this is where you go |
| 7479s | for your tool or your machete now or |
| 7481s | whatever so it has a specific purpose |
| 7483s | can i re-envision it a little bit to be |
| 7485s | your pocket combat x uh someone else |
| 7487s | different now the talon can break down |
| 7489s | reinforce doorstone like the combat x |
| 7491s | with uh two heavy hits |
| 7493s | try it out on tessera |
| 7495s | good answer it does more damage which |
| 7497s | means door receives more damage |
| 7500s | so yeah try it out guys uh i think |
| 7502s | that's a lot of really cool changes to |
| 7504s | many of the weapons and melee weapons as |
| 7506s | well and don't forget about poison so |
| 7508s | check all that out and let us know how |
| 7510s | you feel about those |
| 7511s | and uh with that being said we arrived |
| 7513s | to all the new legendaries coming in 1.9 |
| 7517s | so i'll have |
| 7519s | some reading to be done here again |
| 7523s | uh |
| 7523s | so first of all uh we announced that we |
| 7526s | will have a new bundle |
| 7528s | which is not a dlc this time but an |
| 7530s | in-game bundle which will be called a |
| 7532s | swig of fortune uh |
| 7535s | and the bundle price will be 20 off |
| 7537s | compared to if you buy them separately |
| 7539s | uh and some of you have already seen |
| 7542s | some of the iphones from this so we have |
| 7544s | a knife the last word and i think this |
| 7547s | is my favorite knife in the game because |
| 7550s | it's freaking awesome |
| 7553s | yeah so it is basically a broken uh |
| 7558s | glass guys and it's really cool so uh i |
| 7562s | know that some people thought it would |
| 7564s | be a heavy knife but it's actually just |
| 7565s | a regular knife so that's really cool |
| 7568s | and uh |
| 7569s | some lore for those that like it let's |
| 7572s | read it so eddie davies was no stranger |
| 7575s | to the sign of a quarrel becoming a |
| 7577s | brawl when his uh patrons couldn't see |
| 7580s | reason his sharpest arguments came in |
| 7582s | the shape of a knife or a broken bottle |
| 7584s | to the gut |
| 7587s | so i really like this one |
| 7588s | i like how how he left the lid in right |
| 7591s | yeah it's |
| 7592s | like there's also some blood next to the |
| 7594s | lid so it's great uh i really like the |
| 7597s | pain as well uh you know the committed |
| 7599s | one with like the little glass shard |
| 7601s | this is like an even upgraded version of |
| 7603s | that with the broken grass really cool |
| 7606s | and yeah we have some uh cool shots so |
| 7608s | you can see it on the table in the bar |
| 7610s | where it belongs next to all the bottles |
| 7614s | uh looks really cool |
| 7618s | then in the same bundle we have a |
| 7620s | winfield terminus curled burn out |
| 7623s | uh so |
| 7624s | it basically is a terminus that has been |
| 7627s | burned and you can see that it's like a |
| 7629s | charcoal like on the side and the |
| 7631s | uh like the end of the tail of the gun |
| 7634s | has been burned off completely and it |
| 7636s | says always ready to take on a challenge |
| 7638s | william carter what was eddie davies |
| 7640s | favorite customer this winfield terminus |
| 7643s | hand cannon took the brunt of when |
| 7646s | things went too far |
| 7648s | blinking double or nothing and the only |
| 7650s | target left being a bundle of dynamite |
| 7654s | so yeah it apparently went very well for |
| 7656s | him |
| 7656s | yeah from the sides of it yes |
| 7659s | but it looks really cool though like the |
| 7661s | outcome |
| 7662s | i like it a lot uh yeah and again uh in |
| 7665s | the bar where it belongs uh looking nice |
| 7668s | on a table |
| 7671s | uh then we have a regular winfield skin |
| 7675s | finally which i've been waiting for |
| 7677s | quite a while a really nice normal uh |
| 7680s | winfield m1873 skin the red martin |
| 7684s | and this is also like this bar theme |
| 7687s | throughout the weapon looking really |
| 7689s | sharp |
| 7692s | so the infamous doctor red martin joked |
| 7695s | he was not so different from a bar |
| 7697s | keeper but while he cared for the body |
| 7699s | added david stand it to the soul |
| 7702s | pretty words were meaningless when he |
| 7704s | couldn't afford his tab and addie went |
| 7706s | home with the new winfield |
| 7709s | it even has the dog red martin |
| 7711s | there it's his gun looking cool |
| 7714s | i think quite a lot of people have been |
| 7715s | asking for a week of winfield 1873. um |
| 7718s | so this one is definitely gonna be |
| 7721s | appreciated for that i think yeah agreed |
| 7722s | like me one of them like uh i use the |
| 7726s | winfield all the time uh with like high |
| 7728s | value ammo so i'm really happy about |
| 7730s | this actually really cool uh and just |
| 7733s | just a little tease already there's also |
| 7735s | another gun that people has been asking |
| 7736s | for ages and finally getting a legendary |
| 7739s | skin for it so |
| 7741s | that's really cool and again uh here is |
| 7743s | some images to steal for your uh youtube |
| 7746s | content |
| 7747s | where you talk about the legendaries |
| 7749s | looking really nice |
| 7752s | and obviously uh it includes a hunter |
| 7755s | the bartender i won't tell you the lower |
| 7758s | behind him because you better find out |
| 7760s | from in-game but |
| 7762s | uh he's looking cool you already seen |
| 7764s | him on social media if he kept an eye |
| 7766s | out but uh the bartender is coming in |
| 7768s | this pack |
| 7770s | i think it's one of the funnier skins in |
| 7772s | the game so |
| 7774s | i like it yeah same |
| 7778s | and then uh we do have some other |
| 7780s | legendaries that are not part of the fig |
| 7782s | of fortune a speaker fortune bundle |
| 7784s | story uh and all these are included in |
| 7787s | the black market uh so |
| 7789s | you can either get them in the store for |
| 7791s | the regular price or each with 20 |
| 7793s | percent off in the black market on sale |
| 7797s | and the first one is a birthday called |
| 7799s | cassius i hope that's how it's meant to |
| 7803s | be pronounced |
| 7804s | and |
| 7805s | yeah i kind of covered up parts of the |
| 7807s | text i forgot to change it but i hope |
| 7810s | uh i can still read it so i think |
| 7813s | uh is that addy ed i don't know |
| 7817s | uh let's call it adi veradi cassius lost |
| 7820s | his home to destruction caused by |
| 7821s | bandits he used the ruins to decorate |
| 7824s | this berthier emily 1892 |
| 7827s | uh vehicle for his revenge he gladly |
| 7829s | gave it up when he turned himself in |
| 7831s | after the job was finally done so it's a |
| 7834s | new birthday skin awesome |
| 7840s | again some pictures like table renders |
| 7843s | of the skin so you can see it a bit |
| 7845s | close up |
| 7846s | i think looking really cool it kind of |
| 7848s | gives me some snake vibes or uh like |
| 7850s | origami wires you know yeah the way the |
| 7852s | way it kind of like like uh winds us |
| 7854s | around there right there |
| 7856s | yeah i think i think it's it's actually |
| 7857s | a pretty awesome thing also it feels |
| 7859s | like it's a bit of a camouflage pattern |
| 7860s | almost right with the mosaic in the left |
| 7862s | over so i really like this one yeah |
| 7863s | you're right yeah exactly yeah it looks |
| 7866s | like the scales or mosaics on the weapon |
| 7868s | like and the color scheme is like this |
| 7869s | green |
| 7871s | really cool |
| 7873s | uh then we have a spectre compact called |
| 7876s | the collins |
| 7877s | uh again the same thing uh |
| 7879s | it's a |
| 7880s | full blood-borne price or you can get |
| 7882s | into the black market for 20 percent off |
| 7885s | and |
| 7886s | it it is said that dime novel author h |
| 7889s | collins borrowed his pen name from this |
| 7891s | gun a gift from one of his most valuable |
| 7893s | sources for the stories he would later |
| 7896s | publish |
| 7897s | and uh dedication to h collins uh he's |
| 7901s | visible on the gun really cool one |
| 7904s | yeah being being a fan of the spectre |
| 7906s | compact myself probably one of the 10 |
| 7908s | people out there who like it i can |
| 7910s | really say this one is awesome i like it |
| 7911s | a lot looking forward to play with it |
| 7913s | same and i'm actually always a fan of |
| 7914s | like the gold and the black and golden |
| 7917s | designs in general |
| 7918s | so |
| 7919s | really cool |
| 7922s | another picture from a different angle |
| 7924s | very shiny |
| 7925s | it's like simple and clean but like |
| 7927s | really nice |
| 7930s | okay we are almost there we're getting a |
| 7932s | battery marksman uh variant uh the swamp |
| 7936s | song uh the same rules apply here as |
| 7938s | well as before and uh it has some really |
| 7942s | cool frogs on it |
| 7943s | it's very very cool and we had like |
| 7946s | multiple uh weapons not with the name |
| 7948s | song in it like uh siren song and so on |
| 7950s | and this is the swamp song so i they |
| 7953s | almost make like a theme together |
| 7955s | so you can keep track of your frogs yeah |
| 7957s | exactly |
| 7960s | the frog army uh scene on tick tock i |
| 7963s | don't yeah that's a very deep cut story |
| 7967s | but let's read the the |
| 7969s | text for it as well mold and mud |
| 7971s | couldn't weaken this battery carabiner |

| 7999s | look actually as you can see the frogs |
| 8001s | are like 3d so it's not just on the side |
| 8004s | but it has like this depth to them so |
| 8006s | these are actual frogs |
| 8009s | or they were ver at one point they are a |
| 8011s | bit dry now but they are still froze |
| 8015s | uh yeah so some other angles of the same |
| 8018s | weapon |
| 8020s | and then |
| 8021s | this is what we were all waiting for |
| 8025s | yes everyone been asking for it so here |
| 8028s | it is |
| 8029s | uh skin for the waterless silencer or |
| 8031s | silence early chat is going yes yes |
| 8033s | finally |
| 8035s | fates whisper |
| 8038s | and there you go |
| 8040s | looking really cool i really like this |
| 8042s | one especially like the silencer part in |
| 8044s | the front |
| 8045s | yeah like the unique paint design over |
| 8047s | it and then the cravings inside the wood |
| 8049s | just a |
| 8051s | really nice one uh |
| 8053s | let's read it again uh adorned with |
| 8055s | symbols of centuries past meant uh to |
| 8058s | unravel the mysteries of the future this |
| 8060s | very carbine silencer promises to seal |
| 8063s | its victim's fate whenever its barrel |
| 8066s | whispers |
| 8069s | so i know all the people waiting for the |
| 8071s | silence early |
| 8072s | finally there is a weapon scheme for it |
| 8075s | so |
| 8076s | i have fun with it it's a great one and |
| 8078s | again some table renders so you can see |
| 8081s | it nicely with a nice hunt environment |
| 8087s | and uh last but not least uh before i |
| 8090s | show the hunter let's read his rule he's |
| 8092s | called haksha jack so you actually got |
| 8095s | two legendary bloodborne hunters uh this |
| 8097s | update uh feared by outlaws and lawmen |
| 8100s | alike in new york jack morwick |
| 8102s | considered corruption a tool when |
| 8104s | solving mysteries he came to reason to |
| 8106s | put his skills to work but discovered a |
| 8109s | new kind of corruption even he cannot |
| 8112s | exploit |
| 8114s | and uh let's just |
| 8116s | remove the text |
| 8117s | and i really like him the real detective |
| 8120s | looking very sharp yeah very pinkerton i |
| 8124s | like that yeah exactly with all the |
| 8126s | gloves and like the sunglasses and the |
| 8128s | hat there's |
| 8130s | so cool |
| 8132s | someone said it's easy top well the |
| 8134s | beard again |
| 8143s | oh |
| 8144s | a very cool one though i i love it and |
| 8146s | uh with that we are at the end of the |
| 8148s | legendaries as well as the stream one |
| 8150s | thing |
| 8151s | we still wanted to mention but didn't |
| 8153s | put in the slides and you guys are also |
| 8155s | asked in the chat |
| 8156s | it's about an event |
| 8158s | uh i can't just say that but it's coming |
| 8160s | what's happening but uh we can already |
| 8163s | say that we took all your feedback on |
| 8165s | board and it's gonna be quite different |
| 8167s | to the previous event so there's gotta |
| 8169s | be new gameplay stuff in it and uh it |
| 8172s | will be very less repetitive compared to |
| 8174s | the previous one so we heard you uh |
| 8177s | we'll share more information about it |
| 8180s | soon but i cannot just say anything so |
| 8182s | yeah please keep an eye out for that as |
| 8184s | well |
| 8185s | uh and uh |
| 8187s | yeah let's go to the q a section uh with |
| 8190s | dennis so right now is the time for you |
| 8193s | to |
| 8194s | ask your uh questions and uh we'll try |
| 8197s | to answer oh sorry that's uh |
| 8200s | wrong name okay |
| 8202s | and you're missing from here uh well i'm |
| 8204s | i'm a parody i'm right okay do you okay |
| 8206s | we're just gonna stay on this screen |
| 8207s | because yeah |
| 8210s | so yeah let's uh we are gonna open chat |
| 8213s | uh sorry let me also open discord if |
| 8216s | there were some questions collected |
| 8219s | maybe you can uh do that this because if |
| 8221s | i do that then it will mess up |
| 8222s | everything i think |
| 8224s | so all right let me let me see if |
| 8226s | there's anything in there |
| 8229s | because our moderators were helping me |
| 8231s | well especially ari collecting some |
| 8232s | questions from you guys that we may have |
| 8234s | missed |
| 8235s | uh i already see one lemon fix as we |
| 8237s | mentioned earlier we can explain what |
| 8239s | happened and why we |
| 8241s | had to roll back so obviously right now |
| 8244s | the lemon bug is not in the game but we |
| 8247s | have the previous bug with uh single |
| 8249s | shot weapons but uh all of this will be |
| 8252s | fixed with uh 1.9 so the mod bug and the |
| 8255s | single shot weapons bag will be fixed |
| 8257s | yeah by the time we go to the live |
| 8259s | services should all be history |
| 8261s | um but staying with the with the la mats |
| 8263s | uh there was a question about whether it |
| 8265s | was like the slack change also applies |
| 8267s | to le mans yes it does and most |
| 8269s | noticeably you will see the extra |
| 8271s | ammunition goes i think down to two |
| 8274s | extra rounds only |
| 8277s | uh uh |
| 8279s | some so uh people are asking about a new |
| 8281s | boss we mentioned earlier that a new |
| 8283s | boss is obviously always something we |
| 8285s | are striving towards |
| 8287s | but i think rick mentioned even today |
| 8288s | that something like a new boss or new |
| 8290s | map |
| 8290s | takes at least six to 12 months of |
| 8292s | development so more info on it later we |
| 8295s | cannot just say anything yet but |
| 8297s | yeah |
| 8300s | uh |
| 8304s | um gun balance also slugs is the ammo |
| 8307s | pick up rate for slugs affected yeah |
| 8309s | systemically it is because if you reduce |
| 8311s | the extra ammunition that is then being |
| 8312s | used for calculation so yes that's a |
| 8314s | very good point that's being brought up |
| 8315s | in the question um obviously like the |
| 8318s | reduced extra ammunition capacity also |
| 8320s | means you get less slugs from ammo boxes |
| 8322s | which adds even more on top of that that |
| 8324s | balancing change |
| 8326s | yeah i see a lot of questions about |
| 8329s | oh the upcoming anti-camping mechanic uh |
| 8332s | we will have more info on that also not |
| 8334s | so far from now that it's not in this |
| 8336s | update uh and again it's more of a team |
| 8338s | pay feature which comes with uh |
| 8340s | anti-camping advantages as well we |
| 8343s | cannot just go into uh more details on |
| 8345s | that yet |
| 8347s | unless dennis you can |
| 8348s | give like a tiny hint i don't know |
| 8351s | it's coming from you guys |
| 8353s | i'm probably being slapped if i do so |
| 8355s | yeah i'd rather not but uh it's |
| 8358s | it's it will it will eventually uh be |
| 8361s | something we can talk about and it will |
| 8363s | be amazing it will be um like we can say |
| 8365s | it's amazing it's something completely |
| 8367s | new enhanced so uh |
| 8369s | yeah it's something you can't really |
| 8371s | expect even so uh please just keep an |
| 8374s | eye out for that uh and we will have |
| 8375s | much much more information and in-depth |
| 8377s | look at it and stuff like that later so |
| 8379s | don't worry we'll cover it |
| 8381s | yeah keep in mind that one nine is |
| 8383s | primarily a service update so it's |
| 8385s | quality as we've been talking about |
| 8386s | before so it's going to be a bit lighter |
| 8388s | when it comes to new features |
| 8390s | so it's mostly about balancing changes |
| 8392s | it's mostly about bug fixes and |
| 8393s | stability as we've talked about |
| 8395s | um so that is the focus for this one but |
| 8398s | that particular feature i'm very excited |
| 8400s | when i can talk more about it and it |
| 8401s | will be not too far in the future |
| 8404s | yeah that's perfect way to say it i |
| 8406s | guess uh |
| 8408s | this as people also ask about the |
| 8410s | prestige changes and the progression |
| 8412s | changes that's also something that's |
| 8413s | more long-term we are still working on |
| 8415s | it and we cannot share anything just yet |
| 8417s | but please just uh wait for more info on |
| 8419s | the |
| 8420s | uh it was a more of a longer term thing |
| 8422s | for the year |
| 8426s | um |
| 8427s | there's a question regarding the |
| 8430s | team details change so if you have two |
| 8432s | partners whether there will be different |
| 8434s | colors no not for the moment at the |
| 8436s | moment both partners will be displayed |
| 8438s | in blue just this indicate this one has |
| 8440s | been affecting partners this one has |
| 8441s | been affecting myself so we don't |
| 8443s | differentiate between them but obviously |
| 8445s | the tooltips um and the timestamps that |
| 8447s | you can find in them that will help you |
| 8449s | a lot more in order to understand what |
| 8450s | was going on there |
| 8452s | also something we couldn't really see in |
| 8453s | the example we've been giving earlier is |
| 8455s | for example when someone uses voice next |
| 8457s | to you or next to your partners we |
| 8458s | differentiate there as well so you will |
| 8460s | see like there's the speech bubble uh in |
| 8462s | blue if someone talk to your partner and |
| 8465s | then we see it's like the regular way if |
| 8467s | you talk to you so you can kind of see |
| 8468s | oh which was the guy you can actually |
| 8470s | talk my my partner you might be having |
| 8472s | an easier time now to identify which of |
| 8474s | the guys that was so you don't have to |
| 8475s | rely on your partner to single him out |
| 8477s | because at the moment life you just |
| 8478s | don't see it right like it's only it's |
| 8480s | only relevant to your own data |
| 8483s | some uh i also seen a question about |
| 8486s | billy's story as we promised billy is |
| 8488s | coming back this year |
| 8490s | uh still so that is still true uh |
| 8493s | so please uh also keep an eye out for |
| 8495s | that and uh the same to the question |
| 8497s | regarding fish drops we also promised |
| 8499s | there will be more freeze drops so |
| 8501s | i i we cannot just share anything yet |
| 8503s | but like it's still coming those are |
| 8505s | still happening this year so don't worry |
| 8507s | too much |
| 8509s | there's a question about the terminus |
| 8512s | variants whether they are affected as |
| 8513s | well by the balancing change so the |
| 8515s | reload speed et cetera yes they are |
| 8516s | affected in the same way |
| 8518s | so |
| 8519s | the the sawn off version for example |
| 8521s | using this awesome new skin |
| 8523s | uh |
| 8524s | will be just benefiting from from the 20 |
| 8527s | reload speed and five percent fire rate |
| 8528s | boost um the same way as the regular one |
| 8531s | does |
| 8534s | perfect |
| 8535s | uh |
| 8535s | [Music] |
| 8537s | i see a lot of people asking about the |
| 8539s | 2d replay i don't know if you have any |
| 8541s | updates uh regarding that |
| 8544s | dennis |
| 8546s | the truly replay so so important topic |
| 8547s | for us i can't talk more about it today |
| 8549s | but at least i'm happy that with the |
| 8551s | team details uh the changes that we're |
| 8554s | getting now we're getting we're moving a |
| 8555s | bit closer to giving you guys more |
| 8557s | information about what's happening so |
| 8558s | obviously that is not a 2d replay |
| 8560s | feature yet there but i think it already |
| 8562s | at least gets us a little bit closer to |
| 8564s | having a better overview of what has |
| 8566s | happened during a round so |
| 8568s | it's a nice step in the right direction |
| 8569s | in my opinion |
| 8576s | so everyone asking about the next gem |
| 8578s | version uh so that is something we are |
| 8580s | still working on uh we hopefully have |
| 8583s | more information for you uh this year |
| 8585s | still uh but yeah it's uh much work in |
| 8588s | progress uh |
| 8590s | but uh we didn't forget about it or |
| 8591s | anything like that we are working on it |
| 8593s | and that also the same thing goes to all |
| 8595s | of those asking about the dls support |
| 8597s | and those features uh we are working on |
| 8600s | all of that so |
| 8602s | uh but as soon as we get closer to it uh |
| 8604s | to not just drop out like time phrase |
| 8606s | right now uh we will probably cover it |
| 8608s | in a video blog as well to give you more |
| 8611s | information |
| 8616s | yeah it's also like i see code lots of |
| 8617s | questions about specific bug fixes here |
| 8619s | and there i mean once we we can go to |
| 8622s | the tester |
| 8623s | just make sure you check out the patch |
| 8625s | notes as mentioned in the beginning it's |
| 8626s | like one of the most extensive lists of |
| 8628s | of different items in the patch notes |
| 8629s | for bug fixes |
| 8631s | uh you might find a couple of surprises |
| 8632s | there there's also a couple things that |
| 8634s | we haven't talked about on the slides |
| 8635s | for example just to tease you a little |
| 8637s | bit more of what's coming actually for |
| 8639s | example um with this update one nine you |
| 8642s | will see the weapons now in the hands |
| 8644s | when you look at your partner's outlines |
| 8646s | so no longer have your partner awkwardly |
| 8648s | without a weapon as hand aiming and |
| 8649s | horizon but he actually now has an |
| 8651s | outline around his weapons a very minor |
| 8653s | thing but actually something which helps |
| 8655s | quite a bit for the atmosphere and just |
| 8656s | feels a bit more consistent overall so |
| 8659s | look out for the patch notes for small |
| 8660s | things like that here and there as well |
| 8662s | another thing is interactions um |
| 8664s | for example we we have it right now on |
| 8666s | live that you can when you have a live |
| 8668s | hand grenade in your hand you can only |
| 8670s | open like doors and windows right most |
| 8672s | of the other interactions are kind of |
| 8674s | like not possible during that time this |
| 8675s | is something we've changed as well which |
| 8677s | means you can now operate like for |
| 8678s | example a lift |
| 8680s | like an elevator of some sort you can do |
| 8681s | a couple other interactions you couldn't |
| 8682s | do before in order to make best use of |
| 8685s | your explosive so a couple of things |
| 8687s | like that uh have a look at the patch |
| 8689s | notes once they are available to you and |
| 8691s | then try things out in test server i'm |
| 8693s | pretty sure there's gonna be quite a lot |
| 8694s | of bug fixes on the list as well that |
| 8696s | will make you guys very happy |
| 8698s | yeah and since you mentioned the test |
| 8700s | server i also seen a bunch of people |
| 8701s | asking vanities uh we can say that we |
| 8703s | hope to speak but uh please just keep an |
| 8705s | eye out for announcements uh we |
| 8707s | obviously always announce uh |
| 8709s | when the servers are coming back and you |
| 8711s | will be able to see it on all our |
| 8712s | socials and stuff |
| 8714s | uh |
| 8714s | and then you can uh with that being live |
| 8717s | you can also look at the patch notes |
| 8718s | that it's mentioned with all the other |
| 8720s | changes we haven't talked about and |
| 8722s | everything in detail as well |
| 8728s | uh |
| 8729s | yeah i think uh we at least answered |
| 8731s | most of the questions that were |
| 8734s | very often asked right now so i think uh |
| 8737s | let's leave it at that unless you uh |
| 8739s | still seen something you |
| 8741s | uh let me check but i don't think so |
| 8745s | most of the stuff either stuff that |
| 8746s | we've given answers to before already in |
| 8748s | previous streams or things either we |
| 8749s | can't talk about right now or that will |
| 8751s | be answered directly in the patch notes |
| 8753s | once people can have a look |
| 8755s | awesome yeah so then the last thing i |
| 8757s | wanted to mention that we talked about |
| 8759s | in the beginning of the stream uh the |
| 8760s | monetization explanation uh the blog or |
| 8764s | video as rick mentioned this will |
