| 348s | your questions and uh |
| 351s | i'm usually playing pretty casually |

| 354s | trying to focus on the questions |
| 359s | so if you're looking for optimal play |
| 362s | so that's all we're about |
| 373s | nice to see you |

| 399s | well i think it's today |
| 404s | double check make sure this is today |
| 405s | before i say it |
| 411s | one sec |
| 417s | it's gotta be today right |
| 419s | may 6. nevermind on may 6th |
| 423s | um we'll be doing a stream with uh |
| 426s | aaron over at action rpg doing a little |
| 428s | stream with him too |
| 432s | which oh man i hope you already |
| 434s | announced that and i didn't just ruin it |
| 440s | [Laughter] |
| 443s | uh |
| 444s | all right |
| 447s | yeah just repost your question with an |
| 448s | at in it yeah um |
| 451s | i can look up and find that where the |
| 452s | paper martin |
| 456s | i will find your question |
| 457s | [Music] |
| 459s | hi is there any plan to have diablo 3 |
| 461s | type transmog system where you actually |
| 463s | get cosmetic versions of every single |
| 465s | item you pick up for the first time um i |
| 468s | would say that there's there's going to |
| 469s | be oh and then you |
| 470s | do it cool um yeah if i miss it you feel |
| 473s | free to redo it um |
| 475s | i'm usually a little bit behind on chat |
| 476s | so yeah |
| 478s | um |
| 479s | only repost your question if i've |
| 480s | clearly skipped it and gone to questions |
| 482s | after yours |
| 483s | um |
| 486s | i said you try and get all of them or at |
| 487s | least acknowledge all them if i can't |
| 489s | answer them |
| 490s | anyways uh transmog system i think |
| 493s | there's |
| 494s | uh |
| 496s | so i can't say that we'll be doing it |
| 497s | exactly the same as diablo 3 where like |
| 499s | every single item you pick up you just |
| 500s | can transmog into absolutely everything |
| 502s | um having some sort of transmog system i |
| 505s | think is very valuable |
| 506s | for the game and being able to customize |
| 508s | the way you look is a really important |
| 509s | part of uh creating a character and |
| 511s | creating a |
| 512s | like |
| 513s | how you interact with the world and that |
| 515s | expression of the world especially |
| 516s | online um |
| 519s | and having the |
| 521s | like visual element of the gear you're |
| 524s | wearing |
| 525s | limit what you want to play mechanically |
| 528s | isn't always great when you're like oh i |
| 530s | don't want to play that because it |
| 532s | doesn't look very good but it's the best |
| 533s | thing that's i definitely had that |
| 535s | happen in uh |
| 538s | like wow before they had like transmog |
| 541s | stuff really |
| 543s | you're like i guess i gotta play with |
| 544s | this because it's the best but oh is it |
| 546s | ugly |
| 547s | and it doesn't feel great so like we |
| 549s | definitely want to have a way to do that |
| 552s | um i don't know when that will happen |
| 554s | it may not be a launch feature it may be |
| 556s | a launch feature it may |
| 558s | uh may involve having to do something |
| 560s | special with the item it may have to pay |
| 562s | gold in game or something like that who |
| 564s | knows what will happen but um |
| 567s | some sort of transmog system high |
| 569s | probability |
| 572s | visual transmog system yeah |
| 578s | oh |
| 596s | there we go |
| 597s | attack speed buff that kicks in just |
| 599s | goes crazy i love it |
| 605s | all right where are we here i feel like |
| 607s | her morris fight revolves around |
| 610s | our referrals only about |
| 613s | pressing d it feels like a quick time |
| 616s | event and he plans to adjust the fight |
| 618s | the dungeon mechanic is just a part of |
| 620s | the fight and not all of it |
| 622s | um |
| 624s | i think that all of our boss fights we |
| 626s | do look at um as i go forward to adjust |
| 629s | them and especially ones that get added |
| 630s | in |
| 631s | uh to a patch i think |
| 632s | pretty historically we the most changes |
| 634s | that happen to them is like the patch |
| 635s | right afterwards |
| 637s | um |
| 639s | i don't know if there's any like major |
| 640s | plans in the works |
| 643s | um |
| 645s | for first like specific |
| 648s | changes to that fight |
| 650s | um |
| 652s | but definitely interested in hearing |
| 653s | more feedback about possibly suggestions |
| 655s | on things you'd like to see in it uh and |
| 657s | it's definitely good feedback that even |
| 659s | even just that it's it's |
| 662s | it's not clicking for you as a high |
| 664s | quality fight |
| 671s | so not yet but open to the idea of it |
| 681s | yeah |
| 682s | i mean |
| 684s | i can see a use for it but not in this |
| 686s | character |
| 702s | i shouldn't stand in the middle of |
| 703s | everybody on this character |
| 706s | and yeah three to five minutes is |
| 707s | generous |
| 709s | that was a cool little dash |
| 714s | oh cannot make that happen twice |
| 718s | maybe a one-way trip |
| 721s | i love finding those little like little |
| 723s | movement moving skips |
| 736s | don't know how it happened |
| 738s | it's a cool little jump though i like |
| 740s | that |
| 749s | [Music] |
| 751s | for trading focus players the last |
| 753s | interview feels at the game isn't meant |
| 754s | for them can you elaborate on this and |
| 757s | uh and not give them false hope i mean |
| 760s | so if you're if your plan is to play |
| 763s | i would say okay first of all we don't |
| 765s | have our trading system set in stone yet |
| 767s | it is very much still evolving so |
| 769s | anything i say here regarding what it is |
| 771s | now and what it could be eventually is |
| 773s | more of a |
| 774s | uh |
| 777s | goal like that's why i was talking about |
| 778s | like the goals of the system are this |
| 780s | um |
| 782s | and a lot of that is because |
| 784s | we don't have it 100 sentence done |
| 786s | what's going to happen and it can always |
| 788s | change even if we do release something |
| 789s | we say like okay it's not working for |
| 790s | this this we can change it so i would |
| 793s | say the goals of the system at least |
| 794s | initially the primary focus is around |
| 797s | um |
| 801s | well hey |
| 802s | not invalidating the the loot hunt |
| 804s | so that's really important part of it |
| 807s | um |
| 808s | i've had these all written down like a |
| 810s | great little list of them and i'm trying |
| 811s | to remember them all |
| 813s | it's not gonna work i'm not gonna remove |
| 814s | them all |
| 815s | having the ability to play with your |
| 816s | friends and when you find something |
| 818s | that's great for someone else that |
| 819s | you're playing with especially when |
| 820s | you're actually actively playing in the |
| 821s | same map the same time together that's |
| 823s | the most important thing being able to |
| 825s | say like okay we just killed this boss |
| 827s | and i got a sweet sword but i only use a |
| 829s | bow my friend who's playing with me |
| 831s | right now uses a sword and i can say |
| 832s | here have this sword |
| 834s | that's that is the most important thing |
| 836s | to have working and and have feel good |
| 838s | and have feel fun |
| 839s | is the like |
| 841s | oh this would be so cool for you to use |
| 843s | right now but i can't give it to you and |
| 845s | um like that was the that was the stuff |
| 847s | that was happening when we were first |
| 848s | initially doing our play tests was |
| 852s | um that was happening a lot before like |
| 855s | and we were we were sitting there even |
| 856s | like we all know it's that we can't do |
| 858s | it we all know that like what the plans |
| 860s | are and everything like that but we're |
| 861s | all sitting there like |
| 863s | i still wish i could give this item to |
| 865s | you |
| 866s | and i and so |
| 868s | that's the most important thing i think |
| 869s | if your |
| 870s | primary goal is to |
| 872s | um come in and |
| 874s | treat the game like a stock simulator |
| 876s | and just play the market and not play |
| 878s | the actual monster killing part this |
| 880s | probably won't be |
| 882s | uh |
| 883s | as deep of an experience as you're |
| 885s | hoping for i would say |
| 888s | um |
| 892s | i don't i don't know what |
| 894s | that means yet really and the details of |
| 896s | that but |
| 897s | if the primary goal is to just play the |
| 899s | market |
| 901s | i i'd say it's probably going to be a |
| 902s | little bit more shallow of an experience |
| 916s | there's always give me that emphasis on |
| 920s | going and killing monsters |
| 930s | like yeah we we know that |
| 932s | having an economy and and all those |
| 934s | sorts of things and having ways to |
| 936s | one of the things that gives items value |
| 938s | in finding items that are really |
| 940s | powerful is the |
| 942s | even if you're not going to use it is |
| 944s | the possibility that |
| 945s | um |
| 948s | it can exist |
| 949s | outside of |
| 951s | uh what you just picked up like the |
| 953s | where you are right now it's it's useful |
| 955s | its use is more than its intrinsic use |
| 957s | so like it's intriguing its value is |
| 959s | more than what it can do there we go |
| 961s | that's the line its value is more than |
| 962s | what it can do |
| 964s | um directly because you drop something |
| 966s | like this and it's like okay great i've |
| 968s | got this but what if i'm not using this |
| 969s | type of build doesn't hold any value |
| 971s | yeah it still needs to hold some value |
| 979s | please don't make deal with three the |
| 981s | train system will not be the exact same |
| 983s | as any other game that i can think of |
| 986s | and the reason i say i can think of is |
| 987s | because i'm sure there's some obscure |
| 989s | game out there where someone be like die |
| 991s | i found it |
| 1010s | all right |
| 1011s | uh i don't know if you guys can oh uh |
| 1013s | can we expect then when can we expect |
| 1015s | the next big update i do not have a |
| 1017s | timeline for it for you i'm sorry |
| 1028s | um yeah i do not know when the next |
| 1029s | update is going to happen um we're still |
| 1031s | pretty fresh for the last one |
| 1033s | like |
| 1034s | was it was a |
| 1035s | three four weeks what about a month |
| 1037s | isn't it okay it's been a while |
| 1045s | feels like it was recent but i guess |
| 1046s | it's just because we had another hot fix |
| 1048s | that we had to slip in |
| 1060s | but it will be it'll be a little while |
| 1061s | still like there's |
| 1063s | don't start looking to the next big |
| 1065s | update yet |
| 1069s | we've got a while so |
| 1072s | i don't know if you guys can answer that |
| 1073s | question yet oh referring to the trading |
| 1075s | focus players um we're talking about |
| 1077s | performance patch soon |
| 1080s | talking about performance patch for soon |
| 1083s | yesterday |
| 1084s | says interview |
| 1086s | is there any date confirmed |
| 1096s | uh so what's this about multiplayer 2022 |
| 1098s | yeah uh yeah what did dan say uh the |
| 1100s | question was something along the lines |
| 1102s | and you'll have to go check out the |
| 1103s | actual interview for the real question |
| 1105s | um |
| 1106s | and the question was something along the |
| 1107s | lines of |
| 1109s | can we expect to be testing multiplayer |
| 1113s | this year or something like that or when |
| 1114s | can we expect to be testing multiplayer |
| 1116s | i think his answer was |
| 1119s | um |
| 1120s | sometime in 2022 to start or something |
| 1123s | like that i can't know what the exact |
| 1124s | answer was |
| 1125s | um |
| 1127s | please go watch that stream or someone |
| 1129s | clip it and find the the actual answer |
| 1131s | that dan gave because |
| 1134s | this is not me giving an answer this is |
| 1135s | me trying to remember what he said as an |
| 1137s | answer |
| 1146s | but yeah we are like things are moving |
| 1148s | we're advancing our testing phases |
| 1153s | we're getting new people into that soon |
| 1159s | it's moving along like there's |
| 1161s | just it's a very long process |
| 1166s | uh hey mike |
| 1167s | are we to expect any major changes in |
| 1170s | terms of how the end game plays out |
| 1173s | along with more incentives to look |
| 1175s | forward to when you do reach in game |
| 1178s | apart from mono's echoes etc |
| 1181s | um |
| 1183s | i mean the easy answer to that question |
| 1184s | is yes because there's a i guess the |
| 1186s | technicality the way you order but i can |
| 1187s | say like |
| 1189s | yeah |
| 1190s | there will be |
| 1192s | because there's no time frame on that |
| 1194s | yes definitely that'll happen um well |
| 1196s | that happened before 1.0 |
| 1198s | uh |
| 1200s | i'd say the major |
| 1202s | core |
| 1204s | endgame content will still be the |
| 1206s | monolith |
| 1207s | and like model dungeons arena will be |
| 1209s | the like main trinity of end game |
| 1211s | content at launch |
| 1213s | um |
| 1215s | will that expand and grow and change as |
| 1218s | we go absolutely |
| 1226s | easy to eat |
| 1243s | here we go |
| 1257s | let's light this up |
| 1263s | oh here we go |
| 1274s | oh the the |
| 1275s | shrine ran out i was like why did that |
| 1277s | work oh tried right out |
| 1294s | attack speed off here we go |
| 1303s | nice |
| 1305s | nice |
| 1315s | how about items can only be traded once |
| 1318s | then there's also no flipping but |
| 1319s | friends |
| 1320s | uh but helping friends to join later |
| 1322s | that's definitely an option we've |
| 1323s | considered |
| 1327s | we've considered having items have like |
| 1330s | there's like |
| 1331s | basically anything you can think of |
| 1332s | we've talked about i'd be pretty |
| 1334s | confident saying because |
| 1335s | like there's so many different options |
| 1337s | and so many variations on some of the |
| 1339s | options so like |
| 1340s | a spin-off of that one is you can have |
| 1342s | items that have a set number of times |
| 1344s | that can be traded so you can have like |
| 1345s | maybe a unique can be traded like three |
| 1347s | times but like a rare riding he traded |
| 1349s | like six times or something like that um |
| 1364s | just kind of like a a leasehold |
| 1366s | situation if you're like |
| 1368s | looking at like housing properties |
| 1371s | which are if there's if there's non |
| 1373s | leasehold things available the leasehold |
| 1375s | situation is just terrible |
| 1378s | but |
| 1381s | on its own it works |
| 1384s | [Music] |
| 1397s | gotta level up here |
| 1399s | we're way behind are we 77 |
| 1401s | we're in a 90 zone |
| 1402s | [Music] |
| 1405s | the hardest part about that actually is |
| 1406s | the like the cap on crafting that it |
| 1409s | puts on your gear because you can like |
| 1411s | my gear still has sporting potential |
| 1413s | left but i can't craft on it because i'm |
| 1414s | too low level |
| 1430s | uh is there anything that can be done |
| 1432s | about how legendary potential has made |
| 1434s | normal unique drops feel like white and |
| 1436s | blue outside of keeping well-rolled ones |
| 1438s | as placeholders or leveling gear uniques |
| 1440s | no longer have a wow factor when they |
| 1442s | drop any systems being planned |
| 1444s | considered to address that ah |
| 1448s | i mean no is the short answer i would |
| 1450s | kind of disagree with the blanketness of |
| 1452s | it because some items |
| 1454s | are still extremely useful at zero lp um |
| 1459s | especially the higher level ones |
| 1461s | the low level uniques |
| 1463s | at |
| 1464s | like before legendary potential came in |
| 1466s | the lower level uniques that could |
| 1467s | potentially have like where you can |
| 1469s | reasonably expect to find one at two |
| 1471s | three four even uh legendary potential |
| 1474s | those uniques were already |
| 1476s | in that situation so like it did that |
| 1479s | didn't make them go to that it made a |
| 1482s | lot of them not go to that anymore like |
| 1484s | it |
| 1484s | it uh |
| 1486s | helped that's that disparity a lot more |
| 1488s | than it hurt it i |
| 1490s | think um |
| 1505s | and as you said in the question they do |
| 1506s | have uses |
| 1510s | especially well-rolled ones |
| 1512s | that's interesting as well like i was um |
| 1515s | there was one question i was |
| 1517s | i don't know where this was we're |
| 1519s | talking about this but um |
| 1521s | not happening even in some cases |
| 1523s | lower legendary potential items can be |
| 1526s | upgrades if the roll ranges are high |
| 1528s | enough and the roll ranges are different |
| 1529s | enough so like um there's some items |
| 1531s | that intentionally have extremely large |
| 1533s | roll ranges uh whether or not it's just |
| 1535s | something we wanted for the item or it |
| 1536s | was requested by |
| 1538s | the uh |
| 1539s | the the person we were making it with |
| 1540s | for supporter uniques like for example |
| 1542s | as they're in this helmet the the |
| 1543s | squirrel harold scurry it um |
| 1546s | the roll ranges are one of the biggest |
| 1548s | roll ranges on items in the game it's |
| 1549s | huge roll ranges and in some cases a |
| 1552s | zero lp version can actually be better |
| 1553s | than a |
| 1554s | 1lp item pretty handily |
| 1562s | i think that's actually really good |
| 1566s | easy |
| 1577s | um i think the |
| 1578s | the |
| 1579s | usually the the style of system that |
| 1581s | gets brought up with that is |
| 1582s | have um |
| 1585s | failed worthless pointless uh expired uh |
| 1588s | not useful uniques and whatever you want |
| 1590s | to say it uh |
| 1592s | be include be useful in crafting in some |
| 1595s | way so have them the example that gets |
| 1596s | brought up a lot to me is diablo 3 |
| 1599s | where you can |
| 1600s | uh basically break down the unique into |
| 1602s | a or the legendary in that case into a |
| 1604s | it's crafting components to be used |
| 1607s | later |
| 1607s | and and that's that i think that's a |
| 1610s | great way to do it |
| 1611s | um |
| 1613s | it makes them all worth picking up to |
| 1614s | some degree because you're going to use |
| 1615s | that those materials |
| 1618s | and uh |
| 1621s | i think it works really well in there in |
| 1622s | their system |
| 1626s | we don't have anything planned at the |
| 1628s | moment like that but that doesn't mean |
| 1629s | it can't happen |
| 1643s | new explosion |
| 1646s | i can leave get out |
| 1649s | oh the fire shakes me through the portal |
| 1662s | i think one of you guys said at some |
| 1664s | point that there would be a way to level |
| 1665s | new characters after the first one |
| 1667s | faster is that coming anytime soon it is |
| 1669s | it's coming in about negative seven |
| 1671s | months |
| 1675s | which is my being the jerk way of saying |
| 1677s | it's already in the game um |
| 1680s | it's not as fleshed out as it will be |
| 1682s | eventually but um |
| 1684s | yeah you can |
| 1687s | use dungeons to skip big chunks of the |
| 1689s | campaign and pop through that campaign |
| 1691s | much faster |
| 1697s | rhymer missing the question |
| 1703s | oh he said it right after yes |
| 1713s | [Laughter] |
| 1716s | you gotta add me if i'm gonna answer the |
| 1717s | question but i'll answer it anyways as a |
| 1719s | person do you feel more like a dwarf or |
| 1721s | a wizard |
| 1722s | i mean i think wizard |
| 1726s | mostly because i'm |
| 1728s | definitely not short |
| 1730s | and uh |
| 1733s | i don't really know how to swing a |
| 1734s | battle axe very well |
| 1738s | oh and also i'm magic so |
| 1740s | oh |
| 1741s | jesus christ |
| 1751s | remember kids keep your stick on the ice |
| 1756s | and everyone a group in canada knows |
| 1758s | what i'm talking about |
| 1772s | keep your stick on the ice was keep your |
| 1774s | hands on the keyboard |
| 1781s | so it's an analogy to be ready |
| 1784s | when the action starts to be ready for |
| 1785s | anything |
| 1801s | all right what's your favorite and least |
| 1803s | favorite defensive mechanic in the game |
| 1804s | at the moment oh interesting question |
| 1806s | okay favorite defensive mechanic |
| 1808s | um |
| 1814s | favorite defensive mechanic is endurance |
| 1817s | uh specifically because it has the |
| 1820s | um |
| 1822s | tendency to leave you at very low health |
| 1824s | and make it feel like you almost died |
| 1826s | even when you didn't really almost die |
| 1830s | um |
| 1833s | and it you know saves you from getting |
| 1834s | one shot which i just hate getting one |
| 1836s | show or you just feel like you had no |
| 1838s | agency over what just happened |
| 1840s | uh so that's my favorite one |
| 1845s | uh least favorite's hard |
| 1848s | this one's really hard um |
| 1861s | i mean like |
| 1864s | kind of a cop-out answer about just like |
| 1866s | flat health |
| 1868s | because it's boring |
| 1878s | uh when you mentioned rares uniques |
| 1880s | traded a certain number of times you |
| 1881s | could have been |
| 1883s | uh |
| 1884s | you could have traded |
| 1885s | be |
| 1888s | when you mentioned rare's uniques traded |
| 1890s | a certain number of times you could have |
| 1892s | trading be a craft |
| 1894s | that takes fortune potential i see what |
| 1896s | you're saying yes yes yes yes |
| 1898s | um yes that's that that is something |
| 1901s | that was talked about where um |
| 1905s | the the big problem with that is that |
| 1906s | then um you have to give for your |
| 1908s | fortune potential to |
| 1910s | it was called crafting potential one |
| 1911s | point forging potential to |
| 1914s | um |
| 1915s | i'll let you figure out why it's not |
| 1917s | called crafting potential but um |
| 1921s | it |
| 1924s | uh uniques uniques and sets don't have |
| 1925s | fortune potential |
| 1927s | and it's it's clunky to add it on to |
| 1929s | that specifically for that one thing |
| 1931s | um |
| 1933s | yeah |
| 1935s | it doesn't it doesn't yeah |
| 1938s | it gets messy |
| 1940s | quickly |
| 1942s | uh what's the crazy idea that's been |
| 1944s | discussed in alley something that got |
| 1946s | tossed out i mean we come up with things |
| 1949s | that are like wouldn't it be funny ifs |
| 1951s | all the time so i don't i pick the |
| 1953s | craziest one like |
| 1956s | uh convert the game into a |
| 1960s | 2d |
| 1963s | uh roguelike game |
| 1966s | i heard someone pitched that years ago |
| 1968s | as a joke |
| 1972s | i guess that's not really the uh |
| 1974s | the question like something that we |
| 1976s | seriously considered doing that got |
| 1977s | tossed out |
| 1978s | uh |
| 1980s | i don't know |
| 1982s | okay so actually i do know a few of them |
| 1983s | and the problem is like i i know answers |
| 1986s | to the question is that some of them |
| 1987s | that we were like |
| 1989s | this would be crazy cool and we tossed |
| 1991s | it out because we just can't do it yet |
| 1993s | or maybe it's something that we could um |
| 1996s | you know |
| 1997s | mold into a proper idea later |
| 2000s | it's hard to answer because |
| 2002s | i don't want to say any of these and be |
| 2004s | like |
| 2007s | we thought of this and we're never going |
| 2008s | to do it then we do do it someday |
| 2016s | all |
| 2017s | right primer if you're watching still |
| 2019s | which i assume you are if you've got any |
| 2021s | good answers that |
| 2024s | dm me and i'll i'll say it but i don't |
| 2026s | have a good answer i'm sorry |
| 2031s | uh is there any chance for the masochist |
| 2034s | mode to be something equivalent to d3 |
| 2036s | inferno mode in terms of challenging or |
| 2038s | beating gives the game some great |
| 2039s | satisfaction i mean that's kind of what |
| 2042s | it is there's |
| 2044s | uh |
| 2047s | there's no real reward to it it's just |
| 2050s | good job you beat it really hard |
| 2056s | like it's it's just a challenge it's a |
| 2058s | bragging rights challenge there's a term |
| 2060s | for that |
| 2064s | it's like it's like a game term for that |
| 2068s | i don't care what it is right now |
| 2070s | all right oh hi mr dev can you look into |
| 2073s | making the health bar over your |
| 2074s | character take prior priority over |
| 2076s | everything else like minions etc that |
| 2079s | block it all the time |
| 2085s | i guess it does go behind a lot of stuff |
| 2086s | doesn't it well it goes in front of |
| 2088s | minions |
| 2094s | because it's the layer it's on has to be |
| 2096s | in front of |
| 2098s | minions which it is |
| 2100s | because all enemies are on the same |
| 2102s | layer all enemies players they're all |
| 2103s | the same layer should be |
| 2106s | yeah okay |
| 2108s | so it's |
| 2111s | it goes behind |
| 2113s | items |
| 2114s | i think it's important because you need |
| 2115s | to be able to click on the items |
| 2126s | i just i just reordered like i just went |
| 2129s | through a huge thing reordering a ton of |
| 2131s | ui so things overlapped properly |
| 2133s | um so it may have changed slightly |
| 2138s | we broke out every single panel into |
| 2140s | their own canvas |
| 2143s | ui big performance boost |
| 2150s | and more granular control over what's in |
| 2152s | front of what which is nice |
| 2179s | the profane flush has got some health |
| 2182s | it's got some heft to it |
| 2186s | beefy boy |
| 2196s | here's a little tip i think i know this |
| 2198s | has |
| 2199s | been |
| 2199s | talked about publicly but i don't think |
| 2201s | it's been like announced or posted or |
| 2203s | anything so like |
| 2206s | most people may have missed this but the |
| 2207s | the 15 cap |
| 2209s | up here |
| 2210s | 15 plus looks like it's going away |
| 2213s | hey |
| 2218s | which is really nice |
| 2225s | which is like the fact that that cap is |
| 2226s | there is actually what caused the |
| 2229s | uh |
| 2230s | why we didn't catch the unique |
| 2233s | interaction with um |
| 2235s | whatever that hotfix we just had to do |
| 2237s | to make ward not go bonkers |
| 2254s | picked up someone i probably don't need |
| 2256s | there |
| 2261s | yeah that increased cold damage if we |
| 2263s | could switch that out it'd be nice |
| 2265s | the crit base is just whatever though |
| 2279s | i know i'm just chucking things horribly |
| 2280s | mostly because i uh |
| 2287s | terrible and don't really need to keep |
| 2289s | the stuff |
| 2294s | panic portal yeah that was a there was a |
| 2295s | panic portal a little bit ago there |
| 2298s | we're all in this together yeah |
| 2304s | uh can we add specific uniques to the |
| 2306s | loot filter like maybe we want serpents |
| 2308s | milk but not chimera's essence just add |
| 2311s | for unique jade ambulance isn't specific |
| 2313s | enough |
| 2314s | uh |
| 2315s | yeah can you |
| 2319s | is it possible to add a property of one |
| 2322s | of them |
| 2323s | right now to like the old testament test |
| 2328s | um |
| 2329s | i must have a unique that's well okay |
| 2333s | let's just want to get back to |
| 2334s | a stash |
| 2338s | this is this is not going to go well i'm |
| 2340s | uh |
| 2345s | oh yeah this is |
| 2350s | easy |
| 2352s | i have a good feeling about bad outcomes |
| 2354s | here |
| 2360s | feels like my mouse is slower |
| 2364s | just panicking |
| 2376s | ah there we go what's that lower |
| 2384s | that's right that's why you get on the |
| 2385s | flight dpi switching so you can |
| 2386s | accidentally press it and uh have your |
| 2388s | mouse go slower than you used to |
| 2398s | oh that's a lot |
| 2411s | stop spawning i'm not done with the last |
| 2413s | ones yet |
| 2428s | i've been marked for death |
| 2432s | whoa |
| 2434s | just uh apparently selected all of the |
| 2437s | chat window |
| 2443s | it's also why you lock your cursor to |
| 2444s | the window |
| 2455s | we gotta focus one of these down |
| 2462s | not happening |
| 2476s | we're cleaning up here |
| 2479s | oh yeah probably can't stand that |
| 2489s | all right |
| 2497s | it's those tricky |
| 2499s | we got there though |
| 2501s | give me that experience |
| 2505s | okay let's try |
| 2509s | do we have |
| 2511s | for those two items |
| 2528s | and |
| 2541s | okay can we get the loot filter |
| 2545s | to hide one of these but not the other |
| 2551s | uh increase poison damage |
| 2571s | rarity i click good |
| 2577s | uh ethics |
| 2589s | uh poison damage |
| 2592s | confirm |
| 2594s | and |
| 2598s | oh boy |
| 2600s | here we go |
| 2602s | oh yeah |
| 2616s | hide all unique items with poison damage |
| 2621s | well that doesn't seem to be working |
| 2624s | doesn't look into there it doesn't even |
| 2625s | look into there |
| 2633s | i think it should |
| 2642s | i'll put that in the future request |
| 2644s | well let me maybe take a look at it |
| 2656s | uh did the dev team test some crazy |
| 2658s | build like wraiths will scorch parasites |
| 2660s | because it almost killed my gpo gpu |
| 2662s | taking |
| 2663s | talking on a uh amd rx 590. we test all |
| 2668s | sorts of them um gpu is |
| 2672s | um i'm way above the stability |
| 2674s | requirements oh my gosh |
| 2677s | [Laughter] |
| 2680s | i'm just gonna |
| 2682s | take the loss and portal out |
| 2685s | uh it's it's so the reason why you're |
| 2687s | having performance issues there um it's |
| 2689s | probably not a gpu reason um problem |
| 2692s | yeah the gpu is working hard but if |
| 2693s | you're having frame rate issues it's |
| 2695s | more likely a cpu problem |
| 2698s | welcome everyone from eggshells channel |
| 2701s | glad to have you with us |
| 2703s | because i can do my if this is your |
| 2705s | first time here spiel if this is your |
| 2706s | first time here you have any questions |
| 2707s | for me please feel free to add uh an |
| 2709s | atlas epoch game in the question and i |
| 2712s | will get to it as soon as i can a little |
| 2713s | slow but i will do my best |
| 2715s | um |
| 2718s | i sit i play for charity i answer |
| 2720s | questions i love it |
| 2722s | that's about it |
| 2724s | this is where everything goes |
| 2727s | uh yeah i'm i if anybody doesn't know |
| 2729s | i'm one of the senior developers on this |
| 2731s | game |
| 2732s | which is pretty cool |
| 2735s | i like i like games i like making games |
| 2738s | i like playing games |
| 2740s | let's move on to the next question |
| 2742s | health suffixes conflict with dodge and |
| 2744s | armor suffixes yes uh very much by |
| 2747s | design would it be desirable to esg that |
| 2749s | a player builds armored dodge suffixes |
| 2751s | and skips building health all together |
| 2753s | um |
| 2756s | i don't think so i a lot of the |
| 2759s | defensive layers are |
| 2761s | this is not you for all of them |
| 2763s | but a lot of them are kind of hoping |
| 2765s | you'll get some of it |
| 2767s | um |
| 2768s | and |
| 2769s | absence |
| 2770s | some specific |
| 2774s | reason why you don't want that |
| 2776s | that thing like you specifically need a |
| 2777s | low max health pool or something like |
| 2779s | that we kind of hope that you're getting |
| 2780s | some of all these things |
| 2783s | health is really a specific one that i'm |
| 2785s | talking about here um |
| 2787s | dodge and block i think are ones that |
| 2788s | are more prone to an all or nothing type |
| 2791s | type look |
| 2792s | um |
| 2795s | but there's lots of places where dodge |
| 2796s | and block aren't available and health is |
| 2798s | and vice versa |
| 2801s | possibly not vice versa |
| 2813s | ugh |
| 2820s | kicks in really it's done |
| 2828s | all right let's get to the next one it's |
| 2829s | like into this boss |
| 2833s | where's this boss fight |
| 2835s | i'd like to fight this boss now |
| 2838s | that would be pretty cool |
| 2855s | earlier |
| 2856s | [Laughter] |
| 2859s | no |
| 2859s | [Music] |
| 2861s | what's it |
| 2867s | camera just loops around |
| 2870s | it's not looking good |
| 2877s | come on loop around |
| 2879s | come on loop around |
| 2887s | yes that's what i'm talking about |
| 2896s | uh when will you allow me to spend my |
| 2897s | money on mtx i'm starting to get |
| 2899s | frustrated i can't have my bow glow uh |
| 2902s | and lower my fps even further |
| 2905s | well i mean uh it is a good point we do |
| 2907s | have higher priority things to work on |
| 2908s | like improving the average frame rates |
| 2910s | in the game um |
| 2915s | uh but yes we are we're working on mtx |
| 2917s | stuff it is i do not have a set timeline |
| 2920s | for it |
| 2921s | um as you can see we've been putting a |
| 2922s | lot of work into modeling out |
| 2925s | um |
| 2926s | weapons like uh base types unique items |
| 2930s | um |
| 2931s | new armor sets everything like that |
| 2933s | speaking of |
| 2935s | i have a new armor set to share with you |
| 2936s | today |
| 2945s | that'll be uh that'll be if i beat the |
| 2947s | boss hey welcome lone star mcfluffin and |
| 2949s | your raiding party glad to have you all |
| 2951s | with us |
| 2955s | stay a while and ask some questions |
| 2964s | uh with the edition of |
| 2965s | lightless arbor gold sink which is great |
| 2967s | by the way thank you i do agree is there |
| 2969s | any plan to give us some more sort of |
| 2970s | ways to make legit gold in game i farm |
| 2974s | at 500 plus corruption just for the gold |
| 2976s | makes it a bit arduous |
| 2977s | uh |
| 2978s | when i need a hundred stash tabs |
| 2981s | because i'm a hoarder |
| 2982s | also uh sitting on a hundred like the |
| 2985s | cyber keys i don't feel like i can |
| 2987s | afford to take advantage of help |
| 2990s | um |
| 2991s | well i mean |
| 2994s | lots of times |
| 2996s | so i think that the house the |
| 2999s | if you have a lot of keys it might be |
| 3000s | worthwhile to go in there and start |
| 3002s | trying them especially because you can |
| 3003s | get lucky and um early on get |
| 3007s | several uh |
| 3009s | several like |
| 3012s | options that come combined well with |
| 3013s | each other early on and you can spend |
| 3016s | less money and get more stuff done i |
| 3018s | know it's |
| 3019s | like really good there's a natural |
| 3020s | because it is a lot of it's |
| 3021s | multiplicative and feeds off itself |
| 3022s | there's this natural inclination to |
| 3024s | use it all at once if possible and that |
| 3026s | is true for the most part |
| 3029s | um but because there is |
| 3032s | the um |
| 3034s | the uh increasing cost that goes with it |
| 3037s | and the random nature of the ones you |
| 3038s | have available to you for that cost it |
| 3040s | can sometimes be worthwhile to actually |
| 3042s | go in a little bit more frequently to |
| 3043s | see if you can test your luck there and |
| 3045s | you do get stuff from the street from |
| 3047s | from the um dungeon as well |
| 3050s | um as far as farming go like target |
| 3053s | farming gold specific things um |
| 3058s | it's it's an interesting problem because |
| 3059s | very recently uh before this patch |
| 3062s | everyone was looking at us like i have |
| 3063s | all this money nothing to spend it on |
| 3065s | and now uh |
| 3067s | this is not the first time i've seen |
| 3068s | this actually it's funny is that it's |
| 3069s | kind of as soon as the patch happened it |
| 3071s | was i want to spend all this money but i |
| 3072s | don't have any and it's like i guess we |
| 3074s | need to find a |
| 3076s | a few more things to generate and spend |
| 3078s | money so there's like more options to |
| 3080s | pick from out there |
| 3082s | on both sides of the coin just it's less |
| 3083s | of a big swing every time we add one to |
| 3085s | either side that makes any sense |
| 3089s | uh but i don't have any specific things |
| 3092s | to share for you right now i'm sorry |
| 3095s | release the damn game already i don't |
| 3097s | want to pay 30 bucks for beta again |
| 3099s | yeah um well if you've if you've already |
| 3102s | paid for the beta you don't have to pay |
| 3104s | for it again |
| 3105s | um |
| 3106s | but if you're referring to a different |
| 3108s | game then yes it would be again i guess |
| 3110s | sorry um |
| 3112s | but |
| 3113s | uh we will be unfortunately releasing |
| 3115s | the game when it's ready |
| 3117s | um |
| 3118s | a poor release i think would be |
| 3121s | a poor quality product release would be |
| 3123s | detrimental overall to the |
| 3125s | long-term health of the game and this is |
| 3127s | something that we are hoping is a |
| 3129s | um and planning for to be a very |
| 3131s | long-term project for us we want this to |
| 3133s | be something that that we're still |
| 3135s | making content for years from now and |
| 3137s | and we're still like creating new gear |
| 3139s | creating new challenges creating new |
| 3141s | everything |
| 3142s | new systems new mechanics new characters |
| 3145s | new |
| 3146s | everything |
| 3150s | and the only way that's possible is if |
| 3152s | we we hit launch strong |
| 3159s | which i think we will |
| 3170s | same person new question is there a site |
| 3172s | or provide private link to guide us |
| 3174s | through pre-established builds |
| 3175s | absolutely uh we have some wonderful |
| 3178s | community members that make some |
| 3179s | fantastic tools that are really good for |
| 3181s | creating your own builds um |
| 3184s | and also for uh looking up and sharing |
| 3186s | other people's builds um you can like i |
| 3189s | i know a lot of youtube's just a great |
| 3191s | place to do it as well there's so many |
| 3193s | um people who make build guides for last |
| 3195s | epoch which is it's like that's really |
| 3198s | cool to see just in general um |
| 3201s | for a while i had an alert set up every |
| 3203s | time someone like anyone uploaded a |
| 3205s | video with last epoch in the title uh |
| 3208s | would like alert me |
| 3211s | uh |
| 3213s | and it got to a point where there was |
| 3214s | too many alerts and i'm like okay |
| 3217s | this is uh i can't keep up with these |
| 3220s | i'm gonna just uh |
| 3224s | come back to find them naturally but yes |
| 3226s | um there's lots of them and i'm trying |
| 3229s | to remember the name of the website |
| 3230s | exactly because i just have it linked in |
| 3231s | my bookmarks i think it's just last |
| 3233s | epoch tools has a build guides section |
| 3236s | where people can upload their build |
| 3237s | guides with uh |
| 3239s | like links and |
| 3240s | even loot filters to go with it that are |
| 3242s | all in that one one place |
| 3249s | it's the same guy that makes uh the the |
| 3252s | grimdon one as well |
| 3262s | not happening |
| 3266s | all right let's get to this boss |
| 3278s | that's a big boy |
| 3284s | he is not messing about |
| 3287s | oh |
| 3289s | oh |
| 3291s | okay what's my fire res not fantastic |
| 3295s | i really need to fix my resistances i |
| 3297s | said that last time i think |
| 3299s | said every time probably |
| 3307s | that was a generous hitbox there for |
| 3309s | that |
| 3320s | i think i think one of those should have |
| 3321s | hit me and didn't |
| 3322s | [Laughter] |
| 3324s | i'll take it though i will take it |
| 3331s | another question here we got one |
| 3333s | from senzero ca |
| 3336s | uh hello guys hello |
| 3339s | uh do you guys think of add new ways to |
| 3342s | craft legendaries in the future or at |
| 3344s | least speed up the process of going |
| 3346s | through the temporal sanctum if claire |
| 3347s | wants to i think it's it's fine uh it's |
| 3350s | fine for now um but as the game |
| 3353s | increases in quantity of items it will |
| 3355s | probably become a tiresome |
| 3357s | uh work to do over and over again |
| 3359s | especially because getting some lp |
| 3361s | uniques is quite difficult |
| 3363s | sometimes and the affixes that transfer |
| 3365s | to legendaries are random |
| 3367s | yeah i i think the um |
| 3371s | short answer is |
| 3373s | maybe |
| 3375s | probably longer term if we do anything |
| 3377s | like that um to have an alternate way of |
| 3379s | doing it i'm pretty happy with the |
| 3380s | length of the temporal sanctum right now |
| 3381s | i don't think it's |
| 3383s | um really an excessive process |
| 3387s | um and i think that one |
| 3388s | so like uh some feedback we've been |
| 3390s | getting recently about dungeons is the |
| 3392s | dead end feel is not good when you're |
| 3395s | when you're going through it i think |
| 3396s | that the |
| 3397s | there's |
| 3398s | um |
| 3401s | the |
| 3402s | the comparison frequently is to um |
| 3404s | poe maps and the dead end the frequency |
| 3407s | you find devons and those and i think |
| 3409s | the disparity is smaller than most |
| 3410s | people think |
| 3412s | but it doesn't matter because what's |
| 3414s | important is the perception of that |
| 3415s | disparity and that's |
| 3417s | um definitely exacerbated by the feeling |
| 3420s | of how those dead ends are presented um |
| 3423s | and a big problem with how they're |
| 3424s | presented right now |
| 3426s | is that they're presented as a path that |
| 3428s | almost was open but you got unlucky in |
| 3430s | this path was closed um i think that's |
| 3433s | the big problem with them right now is |
| 3434s | that we're not seeing these paths as |
| 3437s | uh that we are seeing these past as |
| 3439s | things that could have happened that |
| 3440s | didn't |
| 3441s | um and we need to instead i gotta clear |
| 3443s | these |
| 3446s | um and we need to have oh that's close |
| 3453s | oh my goodness this is |
| 3456s | the gun i'm gonna make more of it okay |
| 3458s | cool um |
| 3460s | we need we need to have those paths |
| 3462s | appear less as oh they were almost a |
| 3465s | good way to go but weren't |
| 3467s | uh |
| 3468s | and more as they just |
| 3472s | there's different paths and sometimes |
| 3473s | that ends you know |
| 3474s | so uh |
| 3477s | that process we are |
| 3479s | working on we actually did reduce the |
| 3481s | number of total |
| 3483s | blockages that get placed in dungeons |
| 3485s | recently i think that helped a lot |
| 3487s | um |
| 3491s | like a lot a lot and one of the big |
| 3492s | differences that with i know i'm kind of |
| 3494s | going off question here but it's just |
| 3495s | something we were talking about recently |
| 3496s | i thought it was interesting um one of |
| 3498s | the big differences and why i think |
| 3499s | temporal sanctum feels better in general |
| 3501s | than the other two is because you do |
| 3503s | have when you find one of these dead |
| 3504s | ends a way to maybe get around it |
| 3507s | um i think that helps a lot |
| 3510s | and so we were talking about the |
| 3511s | trying to find ways to um |
| 3514s | use the dungeon mechanic to also |
| 3516s | traverse those |
| 3517s | um some of those locked like blocked off |
| 3520s | paths for the other dungeons as well |
| 3522s | um |
| 3523s | that was the conversation we started |
| 3524s | recently but uh definitely didn't |
| 3527s | finish |
| 3532s | um as for the time it takes to make a |
| 3534s | legendary i think it's really important |
| 3535s | that a legendary item |
| 3537s | has that |
| 3540s | uh |
| 3541s | significance that gravitas that look at |
| 3544s | what i made look what i went through to |
| 3545s | make it it's a bit of a slog it's a bit |
| 3547s | of a challenge it's like |
| 3550s | it's it's it's not something that you |
| 3551s | necessarily get on the first try |
| 3553s | and i i think that's important for it |
| 3555s | it's possible that it's too long it's |
| 3557s | possible that it's too hard and all |
| 3558s | those sorts of things are are stuff |
| 3560s | we're very happy to adjust and tweak as |
| 3563s | we get feedback so the feedback's very |
| 3564s | useful so please don't think i'm |
| 3566s | dismissing the feedback in any way |
| 3568s | because i do really appreciate the |
| 3569s | feedback and this is the sort of stuff |
| 3569s | that's really good to put like on our |
| 3571s | forums on our discord um |
| 3573s | and and get discussions going on about |
| 3575s | and see other people feel |
| 3578s | so i could be completely out to lunch |
| 3580s | with this other evaluation of it |
| 3588s | this was the last time anyone went out |
| 3589s | for lunch |
| 3591s | oof been a while |
| 3602s | see how close i can cut these |
| 3607s | it's pretty generous like i'm right on |
| 3608s | the edge there |
| 3616s | it's very generous |
| 3618s | interesting |
| 3623s | and yeah with with the the like the |
| 3625s | africa's getting transferred being |
| 3626s | legend being random as well that's that |
| 3628s | that's definitely tricky it gets less |
| 3630s | random |
| 3631s | the luckier got in the previous stage |
| 3633s | there's like there's there's like a |
| 3634s | cascading rng system where like you have |
| 3636s | to get lucky you have to get lucky again |
| 3638s | you feel lucky again and the luckier you |
| 3640s | get early means you have it's easier to |
| 3642s | get lucky later as well so i i think |
| 3644s | that works pretty well |
| 3648s | let's move on to the next topic here i'm |
| 3651s | not too far behind |
| 3653s | damn i apologize uh how would you |
| 3656s | recommend evaluating upgrades when it |
| 3658s | comes to flat spell damage versus |
| 3660s | percent spell damage i have a lot of |
| 3662s | trouble determining which one is better |
| 3665s | yeah uh |
| 3667s | it depends |
| 3669s | terrible answer is that um no it's it's |
| 3673s | it is really tricky and |
| 3675s | um each spell is different especially |
| 3677s | because uh and each it will change based |
| 3680s | on how much you have of either one |
| 3682s | um |
| 3683s | if that makes any sense so it's it gets |
| 3686s | does get a little more complicated in |
| 3687s | the math but |
| 3689s | um basically you want |
| 3692s | in most cases |
| 3694s | you want a similar distribution of added |
| 3697s | to increased |
| 3699s | um as you can get |
| 3702s | that makes any sense so like if you have |
| 3704s | 10 affixes available to put them on and |
| 3706s | you have five added on one five increase |
| 3707s | in the other that's a decent rule of |
| 3710s | thumb it's not gonna work out exactly |
| 3712s | right for almost anything |
| 3714s | um |
| 3716s | and part of the thing is we put added um |
| 3720s | on almost nothing it's very rare to have |
| 3723s | so generally if you're having a choice |
| 3725s | between added or increased tape be added |
| 3727s | um |
| 3729s | because it's almost always going to be |
| 3730s | better because you have more access to |
| 3731s | the increased |
| 3733s | and an increase has diminishing returns |
| 3735s | per one per point if you get up too high |
| 3736s | and things like that |
| 3749s | and then lava said right afterwards the |
| 3750s | short version of exactly what i said |
| 3752s | flat damage is usually better as it's |
| 3753s | harder to get a hold of yes that's the |
| 3755s | easy way to say it |
| 3758s | [Music] |
| 3762s | as a senior developer what are your |
| 3764s | day-to-day responsibilities in other |
| 3765s | words can you tell us a bit more about |
| 3767s | what you do for last epoch game |
| 3769s | absolutely um |
| 3771s | yeah we so i do |
| 3774s | it changes patch to patch pretty heavily |
| 3776s | i kind of do whatever's needed which is |
| 3779s | um |
| 3780s | i'm just gonna try it with my setup how |
| 3782s | it is |
| 3782s | i i do a lot of work my i guess my main |
| 3785s | thing would be skills so i do a lot of |
| 3787s | design and development for |
| 3789s | skills so that's all the way from the |
| 3791s | conceptual phase to the testing phase um |
| 3794s | rymer's in chat right now he does a lot |
| 3796s | of that as well |
| 3798s | um there's |
| 3800s | super duper not just me at all |
| 3803s | but i'm one of the people that does that |
| 3804s | i also do a lot of work on um items so |
| 3807s | that's conceptualizing |
| 3809s | all the way through to |
| 3811s | testing of items like uniques |
| 3814s | base types all those sorts of things |
| 3815s | item affixes uh and then |
| 3818s | because they're very very similar so |
| 3819s | they're very tied together it's |
| 3821s | basically the same thing just uh you're |
| 3822s | getting it from a different spot |
| 3825s | really |
| 3826s | uh and then i also do a lot of work on |
| 3829s | ui so like um what am i working on right |
| 3832s | now there's a |
| 3834s | uh i'm working on implementing a system |
| 3836s | where when you're in multiplayer and if |
| 3839s | you |
| 3840s | uh say you open up your skills menu and |
| 3842s | you can't see your character |
| 3844s | um |
| 3845s | we were having situations where people |
| 3847s | were like we were playing online with |
| 3848s | each other and people were just like |
| 3850s | standing there doing nothing and people |
| 3851s | were like what what are you doing are |
| 3852s | you are you there like mike you're just |
| 3854s | sitting there oh sorry i was just |
| 3856s | putting some skill points in or oh i was |
| 3858s | just putting a pass appointed and um so |
| 3861s | it's a little icon that shows up to |
| 3862s | other people in your party over your |
| 3863s | character's head when you have one of |
| 3866s | those full screen menus open and can't |
| 3867s | see your character so someone can be |
| 3869s | like so say you've got |
| 3871s | that open and you've got icon of your |
| 3873s | head and someone sees you getting |
| 3874s | attacked they can be like mike you're |
| 3876s | getting attacked close that menu and |
| 3878s | fight back |
| 3879s | or something like that |
| 3884s | and so that looks like |
| 3886s | taking the visuals from |
| 3890s | the person who made them |
| 3891s | and |
| 3894s | putting them in the right spot in the |
| 3896s | like |
| 3897s | gameplay objects |
| 3899s | i'm trying to avoid using like |
| 3902s | technical terms |
| 3904s | uh but i'm stumbling not being able to |
| 3905s | say the technical terms so like yeah |
| 3907s | like put them in the prefabs the right |
| 3908s | spot assign references and create the |
| 3910s | scripts that will turn them on and off |
| 3912s | the right time and |
| 3913s | um create the rpcs that will send that |
| 3916s | information to the other clients and |
| 3920s | yeah |
| 3935s | that's right stacked up all together |
| 3938s | oh two keys |
| 3941s | armor |
| 3943s | necrotic red shred |
| 3945s | stun duration |
| 3947s | armor |
| 3956s | it's a cool one i don't really have any |
| 3958s | use for it myself but it's cool |
| 3961s | pick it up so like the way it looks |
| 3965s | deadening arrow and crit well don't use |
| 3967s | either of those things |
| 3969s | sanctuary for ask dungeon bad |
| 3971s | i mean did it kill you bad dungeon bad |
| 3980s | and the fun has arrived welcome to the |
| 3982s | party aaron how's it going |
| 3987s | you already announced the thing right i |
| 3988s | didn't uh |
| 3991s | make a mistake did i earlier |
| 3993s | please see you already put something out |
| 3996s | if you didn't you should |
| 3998s | because i'm a bad person |
| 4006s | uh |
| 4008s | do you have a game design limit |
| 4011s | on how fast a player can do an action |
| 4014s | uh |
| 4015s | yes |
| 4017s | i it really depends on the action big |
| 4020s | time so like some of them are instant |
| 4022s | like you it doesn't matter there's |
| 4023s | there's no like uh shift is instant |
| 4026s | there's |
| 4027s | there's no distinction on how fast that |
| 4029s | can happen because it happens |
| 4030s | immediately |
| 4032s | um |
| 4033s | but yeah each thing has like a specific |
| 4035s | time |
| 4036s | and there's like |
| 4038s | uh |
| 4039s | you can like |
| 4040s | override that animation with movement |
| 4042s | abilities so like puncture has this full |
| 4044s | animation |
| 4046s | and you can see the |
| 4047s | um |
| 4050s | like after the bow shot goes out there's |
| 4053s | a bit of an animation as a cooldown |
| 4054s | animation |
| 4056s | um |
| 4057s | and you can interrupt that animation |
| 4060s | with a movement ability at the after the |
| 4062s | mid like not the midpoint so each one |
| 4063s | has like a lead up |
| 4066s | where you can where you can cancel it |
| 4068s | where it's actually happening where you |
| 4069s | can't cancel it and then a lead out |
| 4071s | where you can cancel it uh and if you |
| 4073s | cancel it and lead out it will |
| 4075s | uh |
| 4077s | still happen |
| 4079s | it's already happened |
| 4083s | uh do you have a technical limitation |
| 4085s | for this i mean there's |
| 4086s | um |
| 4089s | yes there's technical limitations for |
| 4091s | that |
| 4093s | uh but i don't think we're anywhere near |
| 4095s | that |
| 4097s | so for example in poe |
| 4099s | uh stacking attack speed can get several |
| 4101s | attacks within a game tick |
| 4103s | oh i see what you're saying like a |
| 4104s | server tech yeah |
| 4111s | yeah uh i'm not gonna answer the |
| 4113s | specifics of |
| 4115s | how uh of like the tick rate of the |
| 4118s | servers |
| 4119s | and uh what the minimum space between |
| 4122s | that is but i don't think it's possible |
| 4126s | from a from a game mechanic's |
| 4127s | perspective to get under the server's |
| 4130s | tick rate |
| 4131s | so i don't think it matters |
| 4135s | and i could be wrong about that but i'm |
| 4137s | pretty sure that was one of the |
| 4139s | requirements for what we set the server |
| 4140s | tech rate at was that we had that this |
| 4142s | this did put us on a cap |
| 4145s | like a hard limit for how fast we can |
| 4146s | make things happen |
| 4151s | all right which one are we gonna do next |
| 4153s | um |
| 4155s | last run age of winter |
| 4159s | say it now sit in chat i'm gonna go to |
| 4160s | the oh no wait i'm gonna do sorry |
| 4163s | ruining everything i'm gonna go do an |
| 4165s | arena |
| 4167s | right |
| 4168s | the thing i'm doing |
| 4172s | and the arena's not at the end of time |
| 4173s | anymore |
| 4174s | [Laughter] |
| 4176s | hey |
| 4178s | i know where i'm going |
| 4181s | but i don't know where i am |
| 4186s | [Music] |
| 4194s | wow you sort of put stuff |
| 4210s | whatever will we do |
| 4217s | uh is there a plan to develop a path of |
| 4220s | building like tool in-game would be up |
| 4223s | to the community um |
| 4232s | i don't want to |
| 4234s | uh commit either way right now |
| 4236s | unfortunately |
| 4238s | a lot of it comes down to |
| 4243s | our plans change really frequently |
| 4245s | between between patches we so we we have |
| 4249s | like plans ahead of time so we we've got |
| 4251s | like plans we wanted okay we want like |
| 4253s | this this this is next this is this is |
| 4254s | after that yada yada yada but every |
| 4256s | single patch our priorities change |
| 4259s | new things happen with the community new |
| 4260s | things happen with the game someone |
| 4262s | discovers something someone gets a new |
| 4263s | idea things change all the time so we |
| 4266s | our plans change pretty frequently too |
| 4268s | and sometimes something that we had |
| 4269s | planned |
| 4270s | gets taken off the list um |
| 4274s | i know having like we we definitely had |
| 4276s | suggestions and and discussed and talked |
| 4278s | about and even mapped out possible ways |
| 4280s | to do it things where you could |
| 4283s | have a like skill plan skill loadout |
| 4287s | that's already in here and you could |
| 4288s | like go into like planning mode and you |
| 4290s | can like pick out all the things you |
| 4291s | want to have and then when you level up |
| 4293s | it could like highlight the like the |
| 4295s | next point or like the points that you |
| 4297s | still haven't spent yet or something |
| 4298s | like that like oh you plan to have this |
| 4300s | one like highlighted the text blue or |
| 4302s | something like that because you're gonna |
| 4302s | put the point in |
| 4305s | um so we definitely talked about |
| 4306s | incorporating that directly into the |
| 4307s | game and there's a lot of really good |
| 4309s | things about that |
| 4310s | um there's a lot of great like |
| 4313s | usability |
| 4314s | accessibility stuff for people that are |
| 4316s | that are |
| 4317s | that have maybe 30 different builds on |
| 4319s | different characters and they they plan |
| 4320s | them on they can't remember which one |
| 4321s | was like which one i'm playing now that |
| 4322s | sort of stuff um because there's so many |
| 4324s | trees and so many nodes and so many |
| 4326s | possibilities it's really easy to get |
| 4327s | that mixed up at the same time |
| 4330s | um a really natural thing that goes with |
| 4333s | that similar to loot filters |
| 4335s | is having a way to export and import |
| 4337s | that filter |
| 4339s | or that build guide or whatever |
| 4341s | and and suddenly there's this |
| 4343s | opportunity for people to have |
| 4345s | almost zero thought process in making |
| 4347s | their their build themselves like |
| 4349s | there's there's not even there's no |
| 4350s | reading there's no learning there's no |
| 4352s | nothing it's just oh click the blue ones |
| 4354s | okay good done that's it |
| 4357s | and then there's the counterparty |
| 4358s | argument to that a lot of times is like |
| 4359s | well maybe that's what i want as an |
| 4361s | experience maybe i want to just have a |
| 4363s | mindless okay someone made the build for |
| 4365s | me i'm just going to play that build and |
| 4366s | i'm i don't want to take the time to |
| 4367s | learn the systems enough to |
| 4369s | to to make my own build or anything like |
| 4371s | that and it's it's finding that balance |
| 4373s | that's really tricky |
| 4375s | and so |
| 4377s | um |
| 4380s | while it would be nice to have an |
| 4382s | in-game system like that |
| 4384s | we're not sure if it's |
| 4386s | an overall healthy thing for the game or |
| 4387s | not |
| 4388s | and it's not necessary for a 1.0 release |
| 4391s | so it's not going to be there for 1.0 i |
| 4393s | can say that for sure |
| 4395s | um |
| 4397s | but it's not something we're completely |
| 4398s | writing off long term |
| 4402s | i hope that's an okay answer |
| 4406s | and and like there's another thing |
| 4409s | i don't want to say that |
| 4416s | i really don't want to deter anyone from |
| 4418s | making a cool tool because |
| 4420s | the things people come up with and can |
| 4422s | do are amazing |
| 4425s | um |
| 4426s | so i don't want to be like yeah for sure |
| 4427s | we're making one everyone should just |
| 4428s | stop making one great |
| 4431s | um you know |
| 4433s | because |
| 4434s | sometimes the tools that people come up |
| 4435s | with on the communities are better than |
| 4437s | what we would have made |
| 4439s | um |
| 4441s | and like |
| 4442s | there's already some really cool tools |
| 4443s | of stuff that we've |
| 4445s | planned to make that that already exists |
| 4447s | out there in the world which are which |
| 4449s | is really cool to see |
| 4451s | um |
| 4453s | but i don't want to |
| 4456s | i don't want to put any pressure on |
| 4457s | community members to make it seem like |
| 4459s | we're uh expecting people to make these |
| 4461s | tools and i don't want to put any |
| 4463s | uh |
| 4464s | deterrence on people to make these tools |
| 4466s | either because i don't want them to feel |
| 4468s | like they have to or anything like that |
| 4469s | you know like it's a hard question to |
| 4470s | answer because i don't want to influence |
| 4472s | people's decisions to make tools or not |
| 4474s | um but i kind of get it kind of feels a |
| 4476s | little bit like that's what you're |
| 4477s | asking for to see like if people should |
| 4479s | waste their time making these tools or |
| 4481s | not |
| 4482s | i hope i'm making sense a little bit |
| 4497s | [Music] |
| 4498s | we are trying to work with tool creators |
| 4500s | more and more though |
| 4502s | um |
| 4504s | to be able to make their lives easier |
| 4511s | um |
| 4514s | because we know they put a lot of work |
| 4516s | in |
| 4517s | and it does it helps the game |
| 4519s | when people have access to these |
| 4521s | these tools that |
| 4526s | helps new players makes the game more |
| 4527s | accessible |
| 4529s | all these things it's great |
| 4533s | so we really appreciate these two |
| 4534s | creators that |
| 4535s | put a ton of time and effort in |
| 4551s | this is uh this is a spicy arena i am |
| 4557s | a little uh concerned i'm not gonna make |
| 4559s | it through the end |
| 4560s | level 90s high these bosses are tough |
| 4564s | these bosses are tough |
| 4566s | there's a corpse on the chest that's why |
| 4567s | i couldn't see it |
| 4571s | i smashed all the barrels oh yeah |
| 4572s | barrels now when you smash one it |
| 4574s | smashes them all |
| 4576s | love it |
| 4582s | is it possible to add a way to |
| 4585s | have an id is it possible to add a way |
| 4588s | to have an idea how much each stat |
| 4592s | attribute is scaling on a skill |
| 4596s | uh yes if you hold alt |
| 4600s | on the skill it will tell you |
| 4603s | uh it can be tricky sometimes to have an |
| 4605s | idea of how much a stat you need to make |
| 4606s | it worthwhile almost that you may be |
| 4608s | replacing ie if you have 20 physical oh |
| 4611s | like i see what you're saying not |
| 4612s | attributes just stats in general |
| 4615s | um |
| 4616s | sorry we said stat attributes i think |
| 4617s | meant like strength dexterity |
| 4619s | intelligence |
| 4620s | attributes like that um yeah yes so you |
| 4623s | can use 20 physical dps to make it |
| 4624s | worthwhile upgrading five decks any |
| 4626s | specific item to be an upgrade like i |
| 4628s | can see you're talking about attributes |
| 4629s | okay um |
| 4633s | yeah i mean |
| 4635s | hold all on the skill it'll tell you |
| 4639s | it's usually four percent per point |
| 4640s | increased damage |
| 4644s | don't forget to put atlas you [ __ ] game |
| 4646s | with the question if you have them i'll |
| 4647s | see them better but i see this one hey |
| 4649s | mike how many burrens do i need to give |
| 4651s | you to be on the beta multiplayer |
| 4653s | testing team |
| 4654s | uh unfortunately i don't take bribes |
| 4658s | should i take brides i should take |
| 4659s | bribes probably |
| 4661s | i can't take bribes oh yeah i was gonna |
| 4663s | put up a uh |
| 4665s | a picture because i beat stuff as a |
| 4667s | celebration |
| 4669s | here we go make a little bit bigger |
| 4671s | cover my |
| 4673s | beautiful face |
| 4676s | oh fit to screen that's the only one |
| 4678s | that's too big |
| 4679s | i see a little bit of the mug shot |
| 4684s | center on screen |
| 4685s | there we go |
| 4687s | uh so this is a new armor set for |
| 4691s | the rouge |
| 4694s | new rogue armor set coming in um |
| 4697s | i mean |
| 4699s | ah it's so cool seeing these things |
| 4701s | it's my favorite stuff |
| 4705s | and while we're waiting here aaron i did |
| 4707s | excited for next week okay great |
| 4708s | uh so next week i'll say it again |
| 4710s | because i kind of have said it and |
| 4711s | stopped myself because i wasn't sure if |
| 4713s | i was stepping on your toes there |
| 4715s | oh here we go uh next week |
| 4719s | next week uh i myself and nifty uh who's |
| 4723s | one of our 2d artists who i believe drew |
| 4725s | this actually um |
| 4728s | probably says his name somewhere on it |
| 4729s | if he did uh will be joining uh aaron |
| 4732s | action rpg on his stream uh right after |
| 4734s | my stream usual stream friday next week |
| 4737s | on the 6th may the 6th |
| 4739s | yes that's right and we're gonna be |
| 4740s | designing a unique item together so |
| 4742s | that's cool |
| 4748s | if you're gonna use that uh as a clip |
| 4750s | i'm sorry if i did that with uh the |
| 4752s | screen mostly covered by something else |
| 4759s | someone is actively working on a path of |
| 4761s | building type tool fyi that's very cool |
| 4767s | drunk devstream when have you seen how |
| 4770s | mike plays |
| 4771s | ouch |
| 4773s | and yeah fair enough |
| 4777s | oh i picked one it's way harder |
| 4783s | yeah this is a completely sober mic |
| 4786s | i've been drunk in a long time actually |
| 4789s | [Music] |
| 4797s | oh no i had a beer like |
| 4801s | three weeks ago |
| 4803s | yeah |
| 4805s | i just only really ever drink one with |
| 4806s | my friends and |
| 4808s | there's still a pandemic going on |
| 4813s | so it's hard to get out |
| 4822s | i don't think i'd be allowed to do a |
| 4823s | drunk stream i i would though be fun |
| 4828s | is that is that i don't know if that's |
| 4830s | like against terms of use or anything |
| 4831s | with the twitch |
| 4835s | i feel like it should be fine right as |
| 4837s | long as i'm not advocating for it |
| 4840s | or put like a mature audience listing |
| 4852s | i'm really curious about the rules now |
| 4854s | on twitch regarding alcohol and |
| 4856s | streaming and like if you're intoxicated |
| 4858s | like i i don't i feel like they couldn't |
| 4860s | enforce like for any people from being |
| 4862s | drunk on stream |
| 4868s | i don't know this is a |
| 4872s | i might just be like over over and out |
| 4874s | analyzing this completely and it's just |
| 4876s | like yeah have fun |
| 4883s | all right back to the the game instead |
| 4885s | of me talking about alcohol |
| 4887s | uh someone is oh so yeah uh do you |
| 4890s | bounce around that is really cool that |
| 4891s | someone is actually working on a path of |
| 4893s | building thing um |
| 4895s | if it's |
| 4896s | not someone that we're in contact with |
| 4898s | and |
| 4899s | they want to be in contact with us to |
| 4902s | have |
| 4903s | some semblance of |
| 4905s | help at all i mean it's possible we |
| 4907s | might be able to do something for them |
| 4908s | to make their lives a little easier |
| 4910s | can't hurt to ask |
| 4913s | i don't know who it is tell them to get |
| 4914s | in touch with us |
| 4933s | oh that was i got stunned right as i |
| 4935s | went to shift |
| 4938s | that was close |
| 4939s | someone needs more sun avoidance in |
| 4941s | their builds |
| 4943s | it's me |
| 4966s | all right |
| 4968s | uh do you balance around movement speed |
| 4970s | or how important do you think movement |
| 4971s | speed is as a mechanic we absolutely |
| 4973s | balance our movement speed it's an |
| 4974s | incredibly important mechanic uh it is |
| 4977s | one of the most popular mechanics in the |
| 4978s | game you may notice that it only shows |
| 4979s | up on boots for the most part and rings |
| 4983s | um as implicits i think those only two |
| 4985s | places it can show up um so it's really |
| 4987s | restricted stat uh as an affix i'm |
| 4990s | pretty sure it only shows up on boots |
| 4992s | like it's it's not a lot of places part |
| 4995s | of the reason for that is it's one of |
| 4996s | those stats where if it wasn't a lot of |
| 4997s | places it would just be like auto select |
| 5000s | like slots people just like take it take |
| 5001s | it take it take it take it um |
| 5003s | and that makes the gearing process less |
| 5006s | interesting if it's just something you |
| 5008s | take in every slot |
| 5009s | um |
| 5011s | so we're |
| 5012s | yeah we definitely balance our movement |
| 5013s | speed movement abilities |
| 5016s | uh get balanced very carefully |
| 5018s | um |
| 5022s | what's the thing you're happiest about |
| 5023s | getting in the game over the past year |
| 5026s | oh |
| 5027s | um i think actually the revamped |
| 5030s | monolith system when we like did like a |
| 5032s | big overhaul in the monolith |
| 5034s | um that's like |
| 5037s | technically in the last year i think |
| 5039s | i mean it's like 11 and a half months |
| 5041s | ago or something like that 12 months ago |
| 5042s | like it's just just under the wire maybe |
| 5044s | it's over a year ago but i think that's |
| 5046s | the biggest thing for me |
| 5048s | it was it was |
| 5049s | it was good but i think that when we did |
| 5051s | that it actually became a legitimate and |
| 5053s | game viable system for the game to |
| 5055s | launch with um |
| 5058s | that's the that's the i think the |
| 5059s | biggest thing for me |
| 5060s | that was happiest am i doing |
| 5067s | no worries sir thank you you're welcome |
| 5072s | i can't win that question once |
| 5075s | what's my favorite beer ooh good |
| 5077s | question |
| 5078s | um it changes a lot i really i like |
| 5081s | west coast so i mean a good chance i |
| 5084s | like ipas which i do |
| 5088s | um |
| 5090s | sours big fan of sours |
| 5094s | like bitter beers |
| 5095s | maybe like bitter beers with like a with |
| 5097s | like a sweet flavor to them or like as |
| 5100s | well there's a |
| 5102s | um a blackberry sour it's local it's |
| 5105s | quite good |

| 5129s | oh no |
| 5137s | that's a spicy meatball |
| 5141s | i almost ate it |
| 5145s | it wouldn't have tasted great now |
| 5150s | but instead |
| 5155s | i walked away i was trying to find |
| 5157s | something to rhyme with and i'm uh |
| 5160s | not happening |
| 5175s | oh my goodness there's a lot of people |
| 5178s | boom line up for me |
| 5188s | that's right i threw the decoy and |
| 5190s | walked right on top of it |
| 5194s | can't make it too hard for them to find |
| 5195s | me |
| 5205s | uh |
| 5206s | [Music] |
| 5208s | i'll send a message on youtube for you |
| 5210s | oh they're they're doing development |
| 5211s | stuff on youtube that's cool i might |
| 5212s | look it up but thank you |
| 5216s | let's damage from distant enemies all |
| 5218s | right let's stand up close |
| 5223s | shrouded siege golem of focus |
| 5227s | yeah okay |
| 5229s | let's do a little reduce damage for a |
| 5231s | minute or two |
| 5234s | you're a beefy boy aren't ya |
| 5237s | aren't you |
| 5245s | the window extends down |
| 5247s | ah |
| 5248s | you see that |
| 5255s | oh it extends down pretty far |
| 5265s | wow they send on really far |
| 5268s | wow |
| 5271s | there's a bug |
| 5289s | [Applause] |
| 5298s | i just said that to the person who does |
| 5299s | uh ui design stuff oh gosh keep your |
| 5302s | hands on the keyboard keep your stick on |
| 5303s | the ace boys |
| 5307s | and remember the women don't find you |
| 5309s | handsome they should at least find you |
| 5310s | handy |
| 5321s | that was handy not handsy just for the |
| 5323s | record |
| 5332s | that's my face |
| 5334s | it now looks like a caved in pile of |
| 5336s | cardboard |
| 5351s | yes attack that decoy that looks exactly |
| 5354s | like me |
| 5358s | [Music] |
| 5362s | i'm fine no big deal who cares right |
| 5376s | let's try a little crafting in here huh |
| 5382s | uh what is the philosophy behind when |
| 5384s | war generation is passive and when it is |
| 5387s | active |
| 5388s | uh where do you see preferred balance |
| 5390s | between the two modes of generation um |
| 5394s | i'd like to see this is |
| 5396s | changes all the time i'd like to see it |
| 5400s | to be |
| 5401s | something that people if you're using |
| 5403s | ward as a primary layer of defense |
| 5405s | having it be a bit of both where you are |
| 5408s | um |
| 5409s | you're passively generating ward to a |
| 5411s | point where |
| 5412s | random mobs who are small mobs just clip |
| 5415s | you are insignificant not insignificant |
| 5417s | necessarily but you're not in fear of |
| 5419s | dying from a random mob just clipping |
| 5421s | you because your |
| 5422s | ward uh passive word generation will |
| 5424s | take care of it |
| 5426s | just on its own no problem who cares um |
| 5429s | but you are at using active word |
| 5430s | generation |
| 5432s | uh to survive more intense situations |
| 5438s | and that passive ward generation is |
| 5440s | almost acting like |
| 5441s | health and health regen in a way |
| 5448s | of health |
| 5454s | yeah |
| 5455s | it's like free mana sure |
| 5459s | crit avoidance |
| 5462s | apparently my mana just wants to go up |
| 5467s | and wow just nuked all reports let's |
| 5469s | find this t20 gloves |
| 5471s | decent mods on them i'll take it for the |
| 5474s | rolls on that |
| 5484s | fine |
| 5485s | pretty average |
| 5487s | above decent |
| 5489s | anything we do here move speed |
| 5491s | hello |
| 5499s | elemental resistance we need we need |
| 5500s | some more resistances here |
| 5510s | thank you glyph of hope |
| 5516s | wow |
| 5517s | wow |
| 5520s | can we roll some values on that now |
| 5526s | health let's get some health |
| 5528s | yeah they give that free decks |
| 5532s | one forging potential thing oh 16 there |
| 5534s | goes all of it |
| 5536s | still still happy with that |
| 5540s | uh let's get some more health |
| 5542s | yeah glyph of hope |
| 5546s | oh |
| 5547s | what is this |
| 5553s | i should have done this a while ago my |
| 5555s | goodness |
| 5556s | oh i do declare |
| 5559s | uh okay what what are our resistances |
| 5561s | like right now super weak on poison oh |
| 5564s | i'm i've got a poison piece that i've |
| 5566s | got sitting fizzing cold or over capped |
| 5568s | so i can uh |
| 5570s | have time to take those off i can do it |
| 5572s | but let's |
| 5577s | you know what worth it |
| 5579s | worth every penny |
| 5582s | health |
| 5584s | yes please |
| 5586s | vitality |
| 5590s | take it |
| 5592s | all the way to the bank |
| 5595s | give me that health oof |
| 5598s | whatever so the ones weren't as |
| 5599s | important anyways |
| 5602s | what's up boarding pencil |
| 5606s | endurance |
| 5607s | finish that item off |
| 5609s | 21 helmet |
| 5611s | all right |
| 5614s | i mean that should |
| 5616s | be a pretty significant boost to my |
| 5617s | stats i think |
| 5619s | it was like |
| 5621s | i don't know what i did there |
| 5623s | 20 or 30 upgrades total |
| 5627s | i felt good |
| 5632s | uh don't you think some bosses have too |
| 5634s | much hp during the campaign |
| 5636s | uh |
| 5639s | debatable |
| 5641s | um |
| 5643s | i struggle so much with certain classes |
| 5645s | during certain bosses and i think so i i |
| 5648s | i think you've hit kind of on the core |
| 5650s | of the matter actually with the second |
| 5651s | half of that question and i don't think |
| 5653s | it's that the bosses have too much hp i |
| 5655s | think that there's |
| 5657s | um |
| 5660s | oh there's also a jump down there with |
| 5661s | shift as well |
| 5664s | that can happen |
| 5667s | oh which one is um |
| 5674s | classes hit different break points in |
| 5676s | leveling at different different points |
| 5677s | along the curve so there's like um |
| 5680s | you'll be like doing better better |
| 5681s | better better better with one class and |
| 5682s | then it'll start to fall off and get |
| 5684s | worse and worse and then it might pick |
| 5685s | up again and and there's those different |
| 5687s | points that you'll hit high and low |
| 5688s | points throughout the the campaign on |
| 5690s | different classes and some classes are |
| 5692s | just like at levelings easy mode no |
| 5694s | problem here we go |
| 5696s | all the way to the end and and so |
| 5698s | there's |
| 5699s | i think there's balancing |
| 5701s | usually when we're balancing stuff we're |
| 5703s | more often than not so we do look at |
| 5705s | leveling balancing but we're more often |
| 5707s | than not looking at end game balance |
| 5709s | more so than |
| 5711s | uh leveling balance |
| 5713s | and i think there's room for improvement |
| 5715s | in in the leveling balance and and |
| 5716s | specifically |
| 5718s | uh around making |
| 5720s | uh some classes just stronger to level |
| 5722s | with than they are now |
| 5726s | and that that sometimes can be something |
| 5728s | as simple as like moving a node on a |
| 5730s | tree where like suddenly you gain access |
| 5732s | to it earlier in a build um and it's |
| 5734s | like a big damage spike when you get |
| 5735s | access to it or |
| 5737s | um it's it's it's moving passive some of |
| 5739s | the passive trees are really old so i |
| 5741s | think that's more of a class balance |
| 5742s | problem that you're that you're that |
| 5744s | you're getting at than a um |
| 5748s | a boss balance problem |
| 5751s | i could be wrong |
| 5758s | oh |
| 5775s | let's go |
| 5779s | uh death equal leak |
| 5795s | either way however i end this arena run |
| 5797s | death or victory |
| 5800s | with my shield or upon it |
| 5803s | i will reveal the last little teaser |
| 5806s | that i've got for you |
| 5808s | [Music] |
| 5809s | gotta ration these out unfortunately you |
| 5811s | know |
| 5817s | we'll probably have another |
| 5819s | another armor set to show next week i |
| 5821s | think |
| 5828s | it could be really meaningful |
| 5829s | there's an acolyte armor set that i saw |
| 5832s | this morning |
| 5833s | i was told it wasn't allowed to show |
| 5854s | apparently i'm trying to get killed by |
| 5855s | running over exploding corpses but you |
| 5856s | know whatever |
| 5859s | uh what game |
| 5860s | what gave you most headache developing |
| 5862s | last epic multiplayer |
| 5864s | that's a really easy question to answer |
| 5869s | multiplayer |
| 5879s | i after after the patch decided to play |
| 5882s | again notice the last character was gone |
| 5884s | no idea why sad |
| 5885s | um |
| 5887s | if you have tech support questions |
| 5888s | please head over to our support page |
| 5890s | support.lastingebotgame.com |
| 5892s | um however |
| 5894s | if since the last time i have no idea |
| 5896s | how long it's been since you played last |
| 5897s | or anything like that but if it's been |
| 5900s | quite a long time |
| 5901s | uh it's possible that the save system |
| 5904s | has changed like a really long time |
| 5906s | um |
| 5908s | if it has been |
| 5909s | a moderately long time it's possible |
| 5911s | that you may have reloaded your computer |
| 5913s | or |
| 5914s | accidentally deleted the files as the |
| 5916s | saves are local they will not uh carry |
| 5919s | over from computer to computer so if |
| 5920s | you're on a different computer same |
| 5921s | thing |
| 5923s | it's also possible that the safe house |
| 5924s | got corrupted and it's still sitting |
| 5926s | there and is retrievable but |
| 5928s | is not visible because it has a problem |
| 5931s | in it |
| 5932s | somewhere um |
| 5939s | and they get corrupted lots of different |
| 5940s | ways |
| 5951s | hopefully that gives you something to |
| 5952s | work with though you know |
| 5960s | uh one thing that's interesting if it is |
| 5962s | a reload |
| 5963s | um |
| 5964s | but like really old characters show up |
| 5966s | like really old characters that's |
| 5968s | because uh |
| 5970s | sometimes some reloads will uh actually |
| 5972s | just overwrite regis will keep your |
| 5974s | registry values um for for third parties |
| 5977s | things and we used to save a long time |
| 5979s | ago safe halls in the registry |
| 5983s | so that's why those may have survived if |
| 5985s | if that's the case |
| 6000s | oh |
| 6001s | oh that's some that's some dps you got |
| 6003s | going there hey look it's me |
| 6006s | i swear that's me |
| 6008s | i promise that that's me right there |
| 6010s | over there just check it out |
| 6012s | it's totally safe |
| 6026s | and then i'm noticing as i'm looking |
| 6027s | down in chat there's like a whole bunch |
| 6028s | of troubleshooting happening in chat and |
| 6030s | i'm just like way behind so uh listen to |
| 6032s | rhymer he's smarter than me |
| 6039s | there we go |
| 6040s | all right getting pretty close to where |
| 6042s | we will before or kane kane's helping |
| 6044s | you listen to katie's better than me |
| 6052s | all right |
| 6058s | pretend my knuckles cracked when did |
| 6059s | that look cool |
| 6064s | oh two difficult ones in a row |
| 6067s | it's a lot 160 more damage and health |
| 6070s | that they've got now |
| 6072s | and they're level 90 |
| 6074s | and i am level |
| 6077s | 78 |
| 6078s | like void reds is awful okay so i gotta |
| 6080s | be really careful and void that's why i |
| 6082s | died last time |
| 6088s | it's a good thing it's not not an avoid |
| 6090s | arena or anything |
| 6093s | oh no |
| 6114s | i gotta kill void stuff first |
| 6118s | because anything that does void |
| 6120s | ding-ding |
| 6125s | what if there's any void res in the |
| 6127s | passive tree |
| 6129s | i can just squeak |
| 6131s | oh yeah |
| 6133s | damage hurts |
| 6135s | boy damage hurts |
| 6137s | i wish it didn't hurt so much but it |
| 6138s | hurts a lot |
| 6144s | what if what if i'm just putting this |
| 6147s | out there you guys just like |
| 6149s | didn't attack me |
| 6154s | what's going with these barrels |
| 6163s | yeah fun fact if you have nothing |
| 6165s | equipped in your main hand |
| 6168s | uh bo melee skills are melee mode |
| 6185s | dang |
| 6187s | wait my chat open nope |
| 6191s | um |
| 6194s | there's just defensive there with |
| 6196s | glancing blows |
| 6198s | those move speeders really nice |
| 6201s | have access to anything else defensive |
| 6204s | layers |
| 6210s | okay |
| 6213s | you know |
| 6215s | there's a little bit of defensive there |
| 6217s | there you know a little bit some void |
| 6218s | dots that can happen |
| 6227s | oh my goodness so question there are you |
| 6230s | done changing local save formats |
| 6233s | i cannot make that promise |
| 6246s | okay |
| 6247s | you've gotta die right now |
| 6260s | chronic resins better but not good |
| 6279s | oh come on |
| 6301s | oh |
| 6304s | remember to tag lassie about gaming your |
| 6306s | question for mike to see it yeah okay |
| 6307s | here's who i miss |
| 6310s | um |
| 6312s | will we ever get hot sauce stream again |
| 6313s | in the near future it was glorious i'm |
| 6315s | glad you enjoyed it uh |
| 6317s | i would be surprised if i don't ever do |
| 6320s | anything like that again um i had a ton |
| 6322s | of fun with it |
| 6323s | and uh i've got some plans i gotta use |
| 6326s | smoke bomb i totally forgot i had smoke |
| 6328s | bomb even on my barrier right i never |
| 6329s | use it um |
| 6332s | i uh i will i will do that thank you |
| 6334s | remember |
| 6336s | uh |
| 6338s | hot sauce yeah so i've got some plans |
| 6339s | for some hot sauce this year i've got oh |
| 6344s | that kind of buried in the freezer ah |
| 6346s | okay we'll remember to get it at some |
| 6347s | point i've got like a bunch of |
| 6348s | armageddon peppers that i kind of want |
| 6349s | to show everyone |
| 6350s | um |
| 6353s | but yeah like |
| 6356s | uh i'd say there's a good chance we do |
| 6357s | something like that again |
| 6360s | and then any thoughts on movement skills |
| 6362s | many of their nodes seem to be giving |
| 6363s | them more damage while only having a |
| 6365s | single one changing uh cool down |
| 6367s | recovery or the light yeah i mean it's |
| 6368s | really intentional that we don't put a |
| 6370s | lot of um cooldown recovery increase |
| 6374s | move duration reduced movement |
| 6377s | casting cost when we're talking about |
| 6380s | movement skills that's that's like |
| 6382s | really |
| 6383s | uh really |
| 6387s | intentional |
| 6388s | um because like if shift had like four |
| 6391s | nodes that all made it like move faster |
| 6394s | uh move further |
| 6395s | um cost less have lower cooldown have |
| 6398s | more charges like fit all those nodes |
| 6401s | you better believe every single person |
| 6402s | would take every single one of those |
| 6404s | notes |
| 6410s | and it's fine if some skills have |
| 6413s | some like |
| 6415s | almost mandatory nodes or like almost |
| 6417s | auto complete nodes i wasn't messing |
| 6419s | with that one particularly for that as |
| 6421s | an example or anything but just like |
| 6422s | it's looking just a few of those nodes |
| 6423s | where you're like |
| 6424s | almost everyone's gonna take that note |
| 6426s | and that's fine but when there's like |
| 6429s | 10 points worth of nodes that's just |
| 6430s | like what everyone's gonna take that |
| 6431s | that's the sign that there some work |
| 6433s | needs to be done on that tree |
| 6438s | all right |
| 6439s | [Applause] |
| 6441s | i mean this is so much more enticing but |
| 6443s | oh i will not do that so we're gonna |
| 6446s | play it safe because we're severely |
| 6448s | under leveled |
| 6455s | uh okay we're fighting it's gonna be |
| 6457s | rogue on rogue violence here |
| 6460s | oh my god |
| 6495s | come on |
| 6502s | oh my god you're tanky aren't you |
| 6506s | aren't you |
| 6524s | okay |
| 6536s | a little stun there |
| 6538s | that's close |
| 6542s | please let it happen |
| 6566s | not happening |
| 6569s | [Music] |
| 6571s | sliding around |
| 6573s | sliding around at this oh god now |
| 6579s | oh that was not intentional i was hoping |
| 6581s | to leave those but |
| 6583s | oh my goodness me there is no way i can |
| 6586s | do this |
| 6592s | oh my god |
| 6600s | wow |
| 6601s | i am hooper |
| 6603s | no |
| 6605s | no |
| 6614s | why won't you drop a potion no |
| 6618s | oh my god i'm so screwed |
| 6635s | not happening |
| 6650s | yeah your decoy is enticing but uh |
| 6652s | you're not going to get me with it there |
| 6668s | not happening |
| 6670s | no i threw it i threw it |
| 6682s | not happening |
| 6693s | come on |
| 6706s | i don't know i'm just throwing the thing |
| 6708s | laterally |
| 6709s | oh come on |
| 6729s | uh |
| 6737s | not |
| 6753s | not happening |
| 6761s | [Laughter] |
| 6779s | all right |
| 6781s | that was close |
| 6784s | no big deal had it all along |
| 6789s | oh |
| 6791s | we need to breathe it there |
| 6794s | castle hawk thorne thank you very much |
| 6796s | seven months in a row |
| 6801s | oh |
| 6803s | yeah |
| 6805s | yeah that was uh |
| 6808s | that was tricky that was fun that was a |
| 6810s | good fight |
| 6812s | that was like my character was the |
| 6814s | perfect level of power for that fight |
| 6816s | because i was just barely able to do it |
| 6819s | like i keep those zero potions at the |
| 6822s | end |
| 6822s | i i don't like watch the replay my |
| 6824s | health hit |
| 6825s | i feel it feels like it went under a |
| 6827s | hundred |
| 6828s | but oh my gosh that was |
| 6833s | apparently the perfect difficulty fight |
| 6835s | apparently |
| 6841s | fluff and i appreciate your confidence |
| 6847s | oh the only decoys would force the |
| 6849s | player to attack them instead of the |
| 6851s | enemy champion i mean so there's |
| 6854s | uh there's meta incentives that we've |
| 6856s | given the decoys for people to attack |
| 6858s | them well just one that's ends right now |
| 6861s | but um |
| 6865s | there's there's some cool stuff we've |
| 6866s | got planned to make the decoy more |
| 6868s | enticing to attack later |
| 6875s | right ready joe 314 do you plan to do |
| 6877s | something like a hall of the grand |
| 6879s | masters where players can submit their |
| 6882s | characters in some form for of |
| 6883s | immortalization |
| 6885s | i love things like this um |
| 6889s | we don't have any formal plans exactly |
| 6891s | how to do it or what we're going to do |
| 6892s | or if we're going to do or anything like |
| 6893s | that but like |
| 6895s | things like that are super duper cool |
| 6897s | where you can like |
| 6898s | um |
| 6899s | go back and look and like we kind of do |
| 6901s | this a little bit already with the |
| 6902s | latter we're like who's who's on the top |
| 6904s | ladder on for patch whatever whatever |
| 6906s | you know and um so we kind of do that a |
| 6909s | little bit but like having it be a |
| 6910s | little bit more in depth i think would |
| 6911s | be really cool especially if there was |
| 6913s | some sort of pvp |
| 6914s | um |
| 6915s | and the pvp was like remotely balanced |
| 6918s | which is a big ask |
| 6920s | but yeah |
| 6921s | [Music] |
| 6924s | i also got a question here right that |
| 6925s | fight i think so what's the talking |
| 6926s | points to the action rpg interview |
| 6928s | designing a unique yeah we're gonna |
| 6929s | design a unique |
| 6931s | that's the big thing |
| 6933s | gonna design a unique |
| 6935s | i don't know if it was easy too easy but |
| 6937s | she seemed to think so |
| 6941s | pure skill i'll take it did i go to 15 |
| 6944s | health |
| 6946s | oh my god |
| 6948s | those those uh those upgrades i did |
| 6950s | before going through that were really |
| 6951s | important |
| 6953s | oh |
| 6954s | so it looks like that was rhymer |
| 6956s | remoting into mike's desktop to control |
| 6958s | it |
| 6959s | ouch and i completely understand where |
| 6961s | you're coming from |
| 6965s | oh increased damage over time |
| 6967s | uh exalted that's nice |
| 6972s | cold pen i could do without physical |
| 6974s | resonantly i could try redoing those |
| 6980s | yeah you know what let's let's do a |
| 6982s | little |
| 6983s | yeah let's do a little uh |
| 6985s | crafty craft on that shall we |
| 6989s | oh yeah i said no matter what i do i was |
| 6990s | going to |
| 6997s | here's something cool |
| 7001s | here is something cool |
| 7003s | so you may remember |
| 7005s | it's possible you may recall |
| 7007s | central park and fault no um |
| 7010s | uh |
| 7012s | you toyo dress |
| 7014s | what a mess anyways uh this thing over |
| 7018s | here |
| 7020s | uh you may have remembered me saying |
| 7022s | that we didn't want to do |
| 7024s | uh two sets of upgrades for things such |
| 7028s | as it was referring to bears uh and |
| 7032s | bone golems and i mentioned sabretooth |
| 7033s | as well until we had the models updated |
| 7035s | for them so that they were actively able |
| 7036s | to be done simultaneously with the |
| 7038s | skills |
| 7039s | well |
| 7040s | may i introduce |
| 7043s | concept art for our new |
| 7045s | sabertooth |
| 7047s | which is pretty cool |
| 7050s | i think |
| 7052s | uh so i think on the llamas mockery |
| 7055s | generates leaks we should at least one |
| 7057s | more if not two today |
| 7060s | it's just really coincidental i promise |
| 7066s | i |
| 7071s | swear wow and nice thank you very much i |
| 7074s | i should say thank you but thank you |
| 7075s | from our team whoever made this because |
| 7076s | it wasn't me |
| 7089s | uh leave that up for a minute more |
| 7100s | i won't actually start crafting until i |
| 7101s | even said okay we're going to pop it |
| 7103s | down |
| 7105s | a boom |
| 7106s | here we go |
| 7107s | let's just start there forgot there's |
| 7108s | going to be slot there oh that fizz rest |
| 7110s | is rdc5 that's fine fizz rez is on there |
| 7112s | is nice i just was hoping for something |
| 7113s | else to leave a lot of his reds |
| 7114s | elsewhere |
| 7116s | yeah poison across her tight |
| 7121s | this might be this might be a tricky one |
| 7123s | to fit in because because of that being |
| 7125s | on there that's |
| 7127s | okay uh first thing we're gonna do is |
| 7129s | we're gonna try and move this cold pen |
| 7130s | onto something else because um so what |
| 7133s | this if anyone's unaware of what this |
| 7134s | does is it changes the affix that we're |
| 7137s | crafting into something else that could |
| 7139s | go there um so we're not gonna get cold |
| 7141s | pen but we're gonna get something else |
| 7142s | that can be a prefix on an amulet that |
| 7144s | won't be damage over time or cold |
| 7145s | penetration |
| 7146s | and it is |
| 7148s | increased healing effectiveness |
| 7150s | woof |
| 7153s | damage while channeling |
| 7156s | minion damage oh |
| 7158s | oh |
| 7163s | can we like |
| 7166s | uh |
| 7168s | where is it |
| 7170s | there's a random affix |
| 7174s | that |
| 7177s | can if that does anything or not |
| 7179s | we are |
| 7183s | we do this and hope it hits the minion |
| 7185s | damage because we don't need the minion |
| 7185s | damage |
| 7188s | [Laughter] |
| 7193s | and that's how sometimes you can just |
| 7195s | bork an item |
| 7200s | that's too bad |
| 7208s | um |
| 7212s | [Music] |
| 7230s | that fight was its own reward |
| 7232s | actually a ton of fun with that fight so |
| 7234s | uh i think that's uh |
| 7236s | possibly a disappointing note to end on |
| 7238s | with the craft but you know what just |
| 7240s | goes to show it can happen to anyone |
| 7242s | um |
| 7244s | that's about all we we've we're hit |
| 7246s | we've hit time so i'm going to call it |
| 7248s | for today |
| 7249s | um thank you all for coming out i got |
| 7251s | one more question how do you feel the |
| 7252s | current man assistant oh my god that's |
| 7254s | such a huge question um i think i |
| 7256s | answered a little bit of it in the z |
| 7258s | stream |
| 7259s | uh and you can check that out for a |
| 7261s | little more details uh or if you want to |
| 7263s | come back next week we can actually i'd |
| 7264s | be happy to get into it but i |
| 7266s | uh the short answer is overall i love it |
| 7268s | um |
| 7269s | it's not perfect |
| 7273s | uh another question here plants removal |
| 7275s | scary to use feels more often than not |
| 7278s | it consumes so much stability it might |
| 7280s | consume too much stability because |
| 7282s | you're taking the mods off i don't know |
| 7286s | uh aaron asks you show me bear golem i |
| 7288s | cannot |
| 7292s | um |
