2s	good afternoon everybody and welcome
4s	back to another last Epoch Dev stream as
8s	always
9s	I'm Yours Mike hello how's it going
11s	welcome good to see you thanks for

28s	front as always we stream for charity
30s	love my head
32s	we're uh fighting to end homelessness
35s	right now that's what we're doing
37s	yeah
39s	nailed it
42s	how's it going everybody
44s	it's been a whole week since I've been
45s	here
48s	and that's what we always do but
53s	just got done with a little little play
56s	test the next patch
59s	oh good
61s	we're uh
62s	we're tightening stuff up earlier than
65s	usual uh
66s	so there's gonna be a little bit more
67s	time
69s	to to make sure everything's bug fixed
71s	and smooth before we before we roll up
74s	the patches is nice
78s	but I'm finding uh deadlines are
80s	creeping off me a little faster than the
81s	normal I've like got this like time
83s	frame in my head and uh
86s	it's it's stuff's showing up fast I'm
88s	like oh I gotta get stuff done
96s	and uh lose losing a week in a bit for
99s	for uh Gamescom to go to Germany is yeah
102s	deadlines deadlines are creeping up
106s	but I'm very excited
109s	when's the patch we don't have a date
110s	yet uh available to announce sorry
116s	oh
122s	hurting here
132s	no that was playing earlier was so much
134s	more appeal than this
138s	hello everybody saying hi
142s	glad to have you all here
145s	there's your objective
150s	another question just asked about a
152s	couple hours ago on Discord but you said
153s	you guys had planned around slower leech
156s	rate and ended up not finding a good
158s	spot for it
160s	um I feel like uh it could be super
163s	strong step for really high dose builds
167s	uh something just almost instantly go
169s	from zero to 100 where they can't get
171s	big hits off but if the downtime can get
173s	quite vulnerable depending on the build
175s	yeah I mean I think that leech is
177s	already really strong in general
180s	um
182s	and and I'm I'm not sure leech needs any
184s	help I guess maybe a better way to put
186s	that
189s	um
194s	and usually you're not in a dangerous
196s	situation unless you're in a situation
198s	where you can also leech as well
216s	oh yeah sorry sorry tilter I did not see
220s	that question if you if you if anyone
221s	has a question for me please put at last
223s	default game in front of it and I will
224s	see it it'll pop out of me I don't know
227s	if that one did or not
229s	hi Lala
231s	how you doing bud
233s	welcome back and you're on a little bit
235s	of a little bit of a vacay there
245s	throwing damage
253s	I really want to hammer out this
254s	monolith and
256s	um
258s	I want to try and get into empowered
259s	parsley just because I picked the left
261s	side which is silly
263s	um and I don't have any of my uh
265s	blessings from the right side of the
266s	tree that are the power blessings
269s	so I kind of just like I was handicap
270s	myself apparently
277s	meteor shower
279s	uh what does your git pipeline look like
282s	when working on the game
287s	um
289s	I mean there's it's it's pretty
291s	complicated uh usually
294s	uh individual features will get their
297s	own Branch
299s	um
300s	no merging to Maine without a PR
304s	um
306s	large projects will sometimes get
308s	like branches that spawn other branches
312s	rough and
320s	uh branches that are like
323s	off off uh
325s	like detached for a long time will be uh
328s	we'll get Maine merged back into them
330s	periodically
331s	I guess that's what you're asking
337s	if you're used to using git on any other
340s	project it's basically the same thing
346s	uh do you feel like movement skills are
347s	in the spot you want for the game or one
349s	reason why I personally prefer Poe over
350s	D4 D2 Grim Don lastly [ __ ] is the speed
352s	and flexibility of movement I wish it
354s	was a bit quicker
356s	um yeah overall I do think they're
359s	um in a good spot I don't think that
362s	we'll ever see
364s	um movement skills in Epoch at quite the
367s	same rate that you see in Poe currently
371s	um we do intentionally sell things down
373s	a touch uh
375s	and and I I think that's yeah that's
377s	pretty intentional
378s	um having said that there is a new
379s	movement skill coming that I do love
382s	which I was getting a chance to play
384s	around with early today that was just it
386s	was it was really nice
388s	little animation glitch in it right now
390s	though when you when when you come out
392s	of it just just right we'll fix this for
393s	launches for sure but when you come out
395s	of it
397s	um it puts you into uh like a a t-pose
400s	basically not quite
403s	what puts you into your idle pose when
405s	you come out of it and looks really
406s	funny
416s	oh that's
418s	a lot of deeps I don't I think I might
420s	be like just under geared for this
422s	did I take something that's really dumb
425s	yeah the mark for death was not smart
442s	it's my necrotic Reds oh okay that's a
444s	problem
454s	foreign
455s	okay uh I might feel a little
459s	underpowered for this
462s	do I need to like
464s	look at my stuff and and and make some
467s	smart decisions instead of just just
468s	mucking about
470s	I think I might need to switch these out
471s	for proper boots
474s	because that was a cool experiment but
476s	it did not work out for us
478s	I had some decent dudes that I was
480s	rocking before
483s	hope I didn't just throw them away
486s	I may have just chucked them
493s	sometimes wouldn't be terrible
495s	like we are doing a lot of lightning
497s	damage but like until we get that staff
500s	it's kind of meh
503s	s
505s	these are probably the ones I was
506s	wearing
510s	which are probably actually better
517s	those are potential
522s	let's see what happens
524s	decks no
526s	and okay
530s	necrotic res yeah these are our new
532s	boots
534s	um
537s	I know you can't actually see this sorry
539s	about that oh that's terrible
551s	sorry one moment
553s	please stay on the line your call is
555s	important to us and we'll be answering
556s	the order it was received
561s	still a little just a little upgrading
563s	on our stuff here
566s	our sister had to seal us what are they
568s	doing tons of 40 pins left whatever
572s	yeah
574s	what's our critstrike avoidance at
581s	151 okay so we're way over we're gonna
584s	need those just something we can take it
585s	off else we have two
588s	exalted affixes for Chris strike
590s	avoidance here that's funny
597s	I refuse to be Chris
600s	all right I think it's still better
604s	uh no more Mark for death stuff
609s	yeah sure all right let's go back some
611s	questions
619s	ah
622s	uh not too bad I made some cake but
626s	you're not having any of it yeah you
627s	already told me I wasn't getting any of
629s	your cake I'm already devastated you
630s	just gotta run salt in the wounds
635s	wondering what automatic testing looks
637s	like when you're working on something
638s	like this
639s	um yeah so the mostly automated testing
642s	that we can have we do we do have like a
645s	a build pipeline that has automatic
647s	testing for basically if a build is
649s	gonna work or not
651s	um so there's lots of things that can
652s	cause builds to fail
654s	um
655s	and and so we have automated testing for
658s	for those checks
660s	but so much of it has to be checked
662s	manually by a person
664s	um and we are increasing the automation
665s	a lot of things we're doing I think we
667s	just added like automated character
668s	creation uh system for testing better
673s	um
676s	and so there's there's there's like a
678s	nightly build that happens
680s	um
681s	to just like make sure everything solid
682s	the QA checks every day that sort of
684s	stuff
686s	so if we do end up with a problem we're
688s	never like really far behind fixing it
695s	uh well gear visuals eventually exist
698s	well yes they do but uh okay like right
701s	now if I equip a Helm that literally
702s	just shows the skull it shows a basic
703s	Helm or the Skins will be for uh will it
706s	be transmonton thank you heavy resub 27
709s	months was up ah us when we go to
713s	Germany soon yeah
715s	looking forward to seeing you there
716s	thank you very much 27 that's a long
718s	time
720s	um
722s	I'll get back to this question here I'm
724s	I am pumped about Germany very excited I
726s	uh
727s	yeah
728s	very excited anyways
730s	um
735s	uh I was asking oh yeah yeah but still
737s	visuals yeah yeah so um
740s	lots of stuff already does have the
742s	proper visuals
743s	um so there are some things that do in
745s	some things that don't and as we go we
747s	are just going to keep expanding that
749s	and just keep adding more and more stuff
750s	so so yeah it's more and more stuff
751s	we'll get added to that list of the
753s	proper visuals are showing up and and
755s	it's just it takes a long time and so
757s	instead of just waiting and doing it and
760s	releasing them all at once as we make
761s	them we release them that's all it is
764s	um as for uh like like skins like visual
768s	skins like I'm wearing one right now
770s	as you can see this is this is uh this
773s	is an MTX visual skin
776s	and um
779s	see that that's an option as well people
780s	have if they if they don't like how
782s	their gear looks they can do that um as
784s	for transmog system yeah there will be
786s	some sort of trans among system do I
788s	know exactly what it's gonna look like
789s	right now and can share it no I'm sorry
791s	I don't know the details
794s	but I know we've we've talked about
795s	keeping that pretty friendly
800s	however that works
803s	but that's not set up yet
806s	uh lava we said for 20 months in a row
810s	wow there we go again getting close to
813s	that to your mark
823s	uh I'll I'll owe this message there it's
826s	long it's hard to read it from up there
827s	okay I can do that
831s	uh we'll send a photo of the cake to
834s	talk to you since you're taunting us
836s	with any totes about new stuff and I
838s	want to see
839s	don't quite work right you know any
842s	amusing way all right all right you know
845s	that's that's that's fair that's
846s	perfectly fair I accept my punishment
854s	come on
859s	I think I've heard some talk about maybe
861s	they're being changes slash edit
863s	features to move density I think it's
866s	supposed to be monster density is this I
869s	think that's monster density I don't
870s	know
871s	um is this true if so is there anything
873s	you can share would love to uh if you
876s	could somehow get the screen full of
878s	mobs to blow up I mean there's like the
880s	arena can can be uh screen full of mobs
883s	to blow up no problem already
887s	um
889s	there's there's there's there's not a
892s	huge change to that happening right away
895s	but I think you'll flirt start to see us
897s	uh a shift towards more and more as we
899s	go on but it's not going to be like a a
901s	light switch one day it's 10 in the next
904s	day it's 50. you won't see that
909s	and a hundred bits where's your invite
912s	for Gamescom
914s	I don't know I'm not in charge of that
930s	oh that was
932s	calculated
945s	is it the gold no it's the
949s	Siege
952s	it's not the siege Golem
954s	the profane Flash
959s	thank you
971s	more questions I'm gonna answer them
974s	are there any plans to address flame
976s	Reeve and upheaval
979s	um
979s	I I don't know baby
983s	uh the gameplay isn't even fair compared
985s	to other more meta skills flame Ravens
987s	not even capable of 200 Arena basically
989s	no one even looks at other people now I
990s	mean a people
992s	um
993s	isn't there isn't there a way by our
995s	people build now
998s	um I could I could be wrong with that
1003s	um as for just balancing skills in
1004s	general yeah we we take a look at at
1006s	them um
1009s	pretty well every patch we make balance
1011s	changes and there there will be there's
1013s	there's quite often incidental there's
1015s	quite often things that have incidental
1016s	balance changes
1018s	um so like it could be something as
1019s	simple as like adding a new unique item
1021s	to the game or like
1023s	um
1024s	you know like just adding adding new
1026s	skills to the game can can cause other
1027s	skills to become more powerful and and
1030s	um or like passive changes so like it's
1032s	not always a direct like Hey we're gonna
1034s	buff this skill in particular
1036s	um sometimes it's like an archetype that
1037s	gets buffed sometimes it's
1039s	um a class as a whole they get stuff you
1041s	know so there's there's and there's
1042s	sometimes changes that we don't even
1043s	realize are gonna happen happen but we
1045s	do um
1048s	we do try and bring the ones that are
1050s	severely underperforming back into the
1052s	realm of fun
1056s	um I don't I don't have any specific
1058s	balance changes that I can share with
1060s	you
1067s	I'm getting my ass energy today I don't
1069s	know what's happening
1071s	just so overconfident from earlier today
1097s	my Idol's not being symmetrical is
1098s	bothering you
1101s	I'm trying to see if I can make them
1102s	even less symmetrical
1114s	there we go is it better
1122s	because I'm the worst
1126s	you know they might take a break from
1127s	monolith and actually go to a dungeon
1132s	that's fun on a dungeon
1135s	let's do that I think I may also be
1137s	realizing why I haven't done this
1137s	because I probably don't have a high
1138s	enough level one unlocked
1140s	to actually get something good out of it
1143s	ah let's give it a shot
1151s	oh we're going to the basic one let's do
1154s	it
1174s	let's go Gotta Go
1179s	I think that's a repeat question I
1181s	strolled up one of the two
1196s	I need to know who is responsible for
1198s	the Covenant of dominion mob nothing
1201s	serious just a chat
1206s	I have no idea
1213s	any thoughts on a rare Chase glyph that
1215s	would offer a lucky oh come on Mike pay
1218s	attention what's on screen
1224s	they're offer a lucky role when the
1226s	affix re-rolling
1227s	any thoughts on a rare chased glyph that
1230s	would offer a lucky role when using the
1233s	affix re-rolling runes
1235s	although you can't wait for nine two one
1237s	oh um
1239s	I don't know what that means
1241s	oh this is what's happening come on
1252s	uh lucky role when using affix for
1254s	re-rolling runes
1257s	uh
1266s	let's see this one
1271s	so talking about a glyph to augment this
1274s	oh to like just just buff the rate that
1276s	this gives yeah so um usually usually
1280s	not always but usually we try to make
1284s	um
1287s	usually we try to make the the glyphs
1291s	work in as many situations as possible
1297s	um
1298s	if they're going to affect a rune
1301s	if that makes any sense so most of the
1303s	glyphs are affecting
1305s	um shards only
1308s	and uh or if they Factor they affect
1311s	basically all the runes or most of them
1313s	anyways
1314s	and that's kind of the general thing we
1316s	try and do it doesn't always work that
1318s	way
1319s	um
1325s	because it's yeah like it's basically
1327s	just like a stronger version of that
1328s	Rune by having two items to combine
1331s	together and then then you kind of you
1332s	end up in a weird situation where you
1334s	feel like you don't want to even try and
1336s	use that rune at all unless you have the
1339s	corresponding glyph to go with it and
1341s	then if you get glyphs if you get those
1343s	glyphs without that Rune then they're
1345s	just useless on like they're just
1346s	completely useless without that Rune
1348s	specifically
1350s	um
1352s	so if we had a more generic way to do it
1354s	which we which we could you could you
1355s	could make that a little bit more
1356s	generic to apply to more runes
1358s	simultaneously I think that would be the
1360s	way we would try and do it
1363s	if we were gonna do something like that
1365s	oh making me go around are ya ooh is
1368s	there oh there's a way that way okay
1370s	sweet
1372s	the moment of like is there no way
1374s	through at all
1378s	I've really gone the wrong way haven't I
1387s	just like as as wrong as I possibly
1390s	could have done
1391s	oh well
1396s	what
1403s	here we go
1411s	are there any plans for and
1414s	I walk and things die around me item
1416s	type builds uh holidays oath and Poe I
1420s	mean there are
1422s	um we do have things like that already
1423s	for sure uh there's usually
1426s	like some sort of interaction that you
1428s	need to do to maintain that but any sort
1430s	of like uh there's like there's a swarm
1432s	blade build that does that
1434s	um
1435s	there's uh there's a mage build that
1437s	does that too it's not as good
1442s	um but yeah that style of stuff does
1444s	exist and will continue to exist
1457s	any hoodies yet there's not I'm I'm like
1462s	just as frustrated about that as you are
1464s	I promise
1476s	my mom's like tried to buy the hat that
1478s	I have off of me for this game it's like
1480s	I want that hat
1481s	I only have one
1505s	all right want to buy elastic Buck
1507s	hoodie so I can wear to the office yeah
1509s	I saw I saw a mock-up for one I saw like
1512s	a digital mock-up for one
1515s	um there's a whole bunch of stuff
1517s	there's a whole bunch of different merch
1518s	I was like yes and I was like one of
1520s	everything
1525s	so I have faith it will arrive at some
1527s	point
1529s	resulted jewelry yes please
1548s	do you have a backlog of ideas for
1550s	future Seasons mapped out uh not not
1553s	specifically like hey this season's
1555s	gonna be this mechanic and this season's
1558s	gonna be this mechanic
1560s	um or anything like that but we do have
1562s	tons of ideas that we've got that are
1565s	like
1566s	um
1566s	like on the list
1570s	of things that'll happen
1571s	and um
1577s	so yeah like there's there's a bunch of
1579s	there's a bunch of seasoned ideas we've
1581s	gotten a big document
1582s	um and there's like a couple that were
1585s	like this these ones will probably be
1586s	earlier than the other ones type thing
1588s	but we probably we
1591s	won't have
1593s	um
1595s	when it comes time to like pick the next
1596s	one and design the next one
1598s	um
1599s	for at each stage we'll like you know go
1601s	back to that list and look at new ideas
1603s	and things like that so they're not set
1605s	in stone but yeah we've got a ton of
1606s	ideas ideas are the last thing we're
1609s	lacking in
1611s	in every category
1621s	I am squishy it's my boyfriend's like
1625s	what
1626s	twenty percent
1631s	so good
1634s	oh I messed that up
1639s	come on back jewelry
1641s	did manage to get here before she left
1642s	yeah I did
1654s	wow
1657s	pop pop
1659s	so there's there's a guaranteed uh LP
1661s	ring
1663s	that's not bad
1673s	we might be able to use that to pull
1675s	an Ethics off of
1678s	it's kind of whatever
1685s	okay do we have any way to make a decent
1687s	exalted item here or a legendary item
1690s	here do we have a
1706s	it's got lightning damage it's not
1708s	nothing
1710s	it's not much either
1726s	no no
1733s	this doesn't work
1736s	what kind of kind of not a lot here eh
1743s	I think we just do this
1749s	and slap some sweet exalted ring in
1751s	there
1753s	okay let's
1754s	let's make a ring
1759s	that we're gonna use which one are we
1760s	gonna try and grab
1762s	like I really I really just want that
1763s	spell damage
1766s	like it's kind of spell damage or Bust
1768s	at this point isn't it
1776s	I mean given what we're trying to do
1777s	lightning damage is not bad either okay
1781s	let's go slap these ones in and see what
1783s	happens
1784s	this little bug here
1797s	it's not happening oh well
1800s	there's a bug someone asked me to look
1801s	at and I was seeing if it was gonna
1802s	happen
1807s	to be working
1810s	this is the important step of the
1811s	internet for some reason is really hard
1813s	to figure out is that you actually have
1815s	to time travel to the other era to
1817s	collect it
1822s	necrotic resistance
1825s	not great all right chronic resistance
1828s	is
1829s	fine now because I added this
1834s	maybe this is just pointless because our
1836s	we can put this on
1840s	yeah okay let's do this and these
1847s	more Health Vitality so we need
1856s	um and you also can
1858s	lead this way and if you're in the
1861s	campaign and you lead this way this
1863s	actually skips you pretty far ahead in
1864s	the campaign every dungeon does this
1867s	little PSA
1871s	all right
1874s	uh is the daily modifiers on dungeon
1877s	something you guys like and want to keep
1878s	something up for uh for change or
1881s	something up for change because right
1882s	now if you want to play optimally uh you
1885s	kind of just want to wait until the
1886s	modifier or something good and then use
1888s	up all your keys in one day
1890s	um I
1892s	I I personally I really like the having
1894s	that that daily modifier
1898s	um I can see the like there are
1900s	definitely like counter arguments to
1902s	having it and uh it's not perfect by any
1904s	means but overall I've been really happy
1907s	with it and um I think it just helps to
1910s	keep things just a little bit more
1912s	interesting
1913s	um
1916s	and just like
1917s	it's a little fresh it's a little
1919s	different every time
1921s	um
1923s	I think if you're if you're playing a
1925s	lot
1926s	and
1928s	um
1932s	I I don't know how big of a difference
1934s	it makes because you generally have a
1936s	fair few keys
1940s	it might be a bigger problem than I
1942s	think
1946s	but I know it's not on the chopping
1948s	block I can tell you that
1949s	but everything's up for discussion so
1951s	like
1952s	if we if we start getting a ton of
1953s	feedback that's like this is people
1955s	don't like this then it goes back in the
1956s	discussion pool
1958s	Master Sword reads up for 27 months in a
1961s	row thank you very much thank you very
1963s	much
1964s	glad glad to have you around it's
1967s	wonderful
1969s	and I'm still shocked every time I see
1971s	the numbers that high
1974s	every time
1977s	uh any plans to include more time travel
1981s	mechanics into active play some of the
1983s	temple sanctum of the concept want more
1985s	but better
1987s	um yeah I mean so the
1989s	the there's there's a few in there that
1991s	are probably hidden that you may not
1992s	have even realized
1994s	um so like for example anomaly
1997s	uh in
1999s	uh fortnite uh it's it's it's sending
2002s	someone forward in time um and then
2004s	volatile reversal pulls yourself back in
2006s	time
2007s	um and so like there's there's some time
2009s	travel mechanics in combat there uh
2011s	there's other skills we've concepted for
2014s	future masteries that might also have
2016s	some time implications in combat
2019s	um
2021s	and that's that's pretty far away though
2026s	um
2029s	not just to be clear not for the ones
2031s	that are coming
2034s	uh
2035s	coming up next
2037s	and um
2040s	as as for like quests that involve time
2043s	shop mechanics yeah there's there's also
2045s	the
2046s	um a study in time Quest
2049s	uh in chapter three I want to say that's
2051s	that's pretty cool maybe chapter four
2052s	that's I I'm a big fan of and I think we
2055s	I think we kind of always wanted to do
2057s	more stuff like that and there's been a
2059s	bit of a
2061s	like there's so many other things to do
2063s	to get really com more complex quests
2065s	like that in but um
2068s	I'd be surprised if more don't find
2069s	their way in at some point
2074s	um
2075s	I think there's also lots of room for
2076s	like more dungeon mechanics in the
2078s	future so yeah like the the one of the
2081s	core underline like if you're gonna talk
2082s	like pick five words to describe the
2084s	themes in last Epoch time travel is is
2087s	is is one of the first that comes to
2089s	mind for sure and having that
2092s	um be more prominent I think is is a
2094s	goal for us
2104s	why is your game so much better than D4
2106s	well first off thank you for the
2108s	compliment I appreciate that it's
2109s	wonderful
2110s	um
2111s	I'm gonna kind of Dodge the question a
2114s	little bit and say that I I think that
2116s	you know there's lots of things that
2118s	people can find enjoyment in different
2119s	games and all that sort of stuff and
2122s	better might be a little subjective but
2124s	uh if you appreciate the the like like
2126s	even just being in that conversation of
2128s	like
2130s	game like a game genre that I grew up
2132s	with and you know
2135s	say wasted but you know look what we're
2137s	doing now it's not enough as a waste of
2139s	my childhood on
2141s	um
2143s	it's it's just surreal so that that's
2145s	very cool so thank you
2148s	um
2149s	and I think if if we're gonna get into
2151s	comparisons I think there's a
2153s	there's some there's some there's more
2155s	elements that's similar to the classic
2158s	like Diablo 2 that you'll find in less
2161s	Deepak that I think I think a lot of a
2164s	lot of people really resonate with which
2166s	is which is great
2168s	um and there's tons of stuff that D4
2169s	does amazingly well
2172s	um like the the one that always comes to
2173s	mind first is the presentation in there
2175s	like their animations and the visuals
2177s	are just just stellar
2181s	um yeah I'm jealous of their animations
2183s	let's be real here
2191s	and like I think that's something where
2193s	they I think that's a field that we've
2194s	been improving in a ton lately which is
2196s	so cool and there's like there's new
2197s	animations coming next match I think are
2198s	really great
2200s	um and like we're tying them in more
2202s	specifically to individual skills one of
2204s	them just a matter of scale for us so
2206s	we'd have like okay well here's the
2208s	Mages wand equipped spell casting
2211s	animation
2212s	uh and and we we just like we use it for
2216s	all the Spells and then then we started
2217s	to slowly be like um okay well like
2219s	maybe this spell has a different Wanda
2221s	cook spell Cassie animation and like
2224s	um just starting to get more custom
2225s	stuff for each situation leading to be
2228s	to feel more smooth and cohesive and all
2231s	sort of stuff I think it's it's really
2232s	starting to come through which is great
2236s	ouch
2238s	fresh sub love it
2241s	glad to have you here hope you're having
2243s	fun
2248s	25 less damage we can do with that
2252s	um
2257s	uh is there an option to turn off the
2260s	combat numbers there is an option to
2261s	turn off the combat numbers
2265s	like the third option
2269s	boom no combat numbers
2271s	yeah there's a lot of stuff in combat
2273s	that we know is is fairly divisive so
2276s	like uh combat numbers uh health bar
2278s	displays
2280s	um
2281s	uh
2282s	what else uh
2285s	the enemy flash on hit this one's pretty
2287s	and Screen shake so screen Shake enemy
2289s	flash uh and damage numbers we know we
2292s	know they're pretty
2294s	um
2295s	divisive things of uh whether people
2298s	really like them or really hate them is
2299s	usually what comes up some people like
2301s	you know it's indifferent they'll play
2302s	either way but
2304s	um usually it's uh pretty hard yes or
2307s	pretty hard now someone wants them and
2308s	so we made sure to make those as options
2318s	personally I really liked all those
2319s	things so I got them all turned on
2321s	if it's really bothering you I could be
2323s	talking to Turning one of them off
2325s	I could I could be talked into that
2331s	oh that's a nice Idol
2334s	there we are
2336s	frequently if you're um if you're
2339s	starting out uh Health on Idols is
2340s	really good just just in general
2348s	audio for the job same as Poe current
2350s	ones are a bit weak in volume yeah yeah
2352s	there's
2353s	um
2356s	there's a specific slider for audio for
2359s	drops there I Know I Know audio cues on
2361s	loot drops is
2363s	um a topic we've been talking about a
2364s	fair bit lately
2366s	because like things there's there's a
2369s	bit of an issue that we have it's not
2371s	terrible but you know it's definitely
2372s	there and we're discussing and trying to
2374s	figure out how to do it
2375s	um do it better sorry is uh conveying to
2378s	players when an item drops off screen so
2382s	whether that's like a DOT you had that
2384s	finished something off after you ran
2385s	away or maybe a minion that jumped off a
2387s	little bit in the distance to like kill
2388s	something or you know even just like you
2391s	shoot a fireball and it goes real far
2394s	um and having those important items be
2397s	uh notified to you that you know you do
2399s	have to go back and and do that instead
2401s	of having to like check behind you every
2403s	every few feet
2406s	um so we're still working on that too
2409s	any leaks I do have leaks
2412s	I could be I could be persuaded let's
2414s	get a leak out as soon as this one's
2415s	done I'll get a leak up
2418s	what have I missed me dying several
2421s	times and not compensating with leaks
2429s	any plans to head turning animations
2434s	um
2435s	I I I'm not sure if you mean for like
2437s	the player or for enemies there's there
2439s	is some problems with enemy turning
2441s	animations that we've come across
2443s	um
2444s	get into it to feel smooth and look good
2446s	and and
2448s	um
2449s	not cause
2452s	uh I guess problems like game of
2454s	problems where you can like kite someone
2455s	around in a circle
2457s	uh just by running around them quickly
2462s	um usually when there's a conflict
2463s	between gameplay and visuals gameplay
2465s	just wins
2490s	there we go
2497s	there's a bug right now on our main
2499s	build where the portals can't be you
2502s	can't enter a portal immediately after
2503s	opening it and uh it was really
2506s	frustrating me this morning but we'll
2508s	get it fixed it was just oh it bothered
2510s	me
2514s	and like now that I'm back here and and
2516s	having the instant portals and it's so
2518s	nice
2525s	any plans for making sure buff skills
2527s	meteorologist buff
2528s	uh uh what what games do you play do you
2531s	want to when you want to escape arpgs oh
2533s	good question
2534s	um I uh Civ civilization and like just
2538s	RTS uh I'm sorry I just uh uh Forex
2541s	games like turn uh turn based strategy
2543s	games
2544s	um I usually my go-to like relaxing
2547s	stuff so like uh Civ six Heroes of my
2551s	magic three
2553s	um
2555s	uh farthest Frontier
2558s	these these are my go-to's for just like
2560s	uh I'm gonna zone out for a bit and play
2562s	some games
2563s	um
2564s	I've been pretty hooked on tears of the
2566s	Kingdom lately
2568s	Zelda's my
2569s	if I was the only game that would give
2571s	my all-time favorite game a run for its
2574s	money
2575s	uh is Ocarina of Time
2579s	so
2580s	Zelda's in my blood
2594s	top spot still Diablo 2 probably it's so
2597s	hard to pick
2611s	if I ever want to take a break from them
2613s	yeah and and it's less about taking a
2615s	break from RPGs and just that you know
2618s	the refugees just aren't the only genre
2620s	that I love because you know I love tons
2622s	of genres of games so
2643s	I've been trying to finish the
2646s	ever since it came out so sim6 has a
2649s	thing where like if you beat the game
2650s	with like when you win a game of Civ it
2654s	like puts that into like that game
2655s	session into like the whole this Hall of
2657s	Fame thing that like shows you all the
2658s	leaders you beat the game with and
2660s	everything and
2662s	um
2663s	they're releasing leaders faster than I
2666s	can fill it up
2673s	because you know you only finish like
2675s	one in six games as I do
2680s	foreign
2685s	six like every three months I'll finish
2687s	a game
2689s	at at most
2698s	oh this sabertooth's about to get messed
2700s	up
2702s	uh it kind of wasn't a joke question in
2706s	your humble opinion what makes your game
2708s	of the deeper okay yeah uh I mean I I
2710s	don't really have much else to say on
2711s	what I already said
2713s	um
2715s	yeah I I
2717s	think that there's a lot of maybe more
2721s	traditional arpg mechanics and
2723s	functionality and things like that that
2726s	um are resonating with people
2734s	I think that's the biggest part of it
2741s	also skill trees
2744s	our our skills all the skills have trees
2747s	that's one of the biggest things that's
2749s	I remember I remember going to like
2750s	early early conventions when we were
2752s	like doing like oh come on
2755s	what Mike just
2759s	when we were when we were early on in
2761s	the convention circuit
2764s	um the game was still pretty young
2767s	um
2768s	talking like three years ago here
2771s	pre-covered and
2774s	um
2781s	just don't die Mike
2783s	and
2786s	uh people would like come to our booth
2787s	and be like oh what's this cool needs
2790s	um and we'd say something like yeah and
2792s	every single we're gonna have like 110
2793s	skills at that point that was the plan
2794s	was 110.
2796s	um 110 skills that everyone was gonna
2797s	their own skill tree and they're kind of
2798s	like
2799s	okay yeah right or like like is it
2803s	actually gonna be a full skill tree per
2804s	and then you like go into the game you
2806s	open one of the trees and people like
2808s	wait a second every skill is gonna have
2810s	this
2812s	and that concept of just like every
2813s	skill having its own full skill tree was
2815s	just sort of a like
2816s	a bit of a
2819s	that that can't be possible
2822s	tight moment what's happening
2827s	it has turned out to be
2829s	an unbelievable amount of work
2832s	so worth it
2842s	I'm curious does the next patch uh
2845s	likely include townhub fixes alongside
2848s	the server improvements thanks it should
2850s	um we do have the townhub fixes I think
2854s	they're all working for internal play
2856s	test stuff right now they were working
2857s	for international play stuff before the
2859s	patch as well so who knows
2861s	um
2863s	someone slap me if I'm wrong on that one
2865s	but
2866s	uh I'm pretty sure yes because I think
2868s	that was a pretty that was a pretty
2870s	important part of lastpatch that got
2871s	sadly cut uh after the after the fact
2874s	which was really unfortunate
2877s	uh is there any benefits to Elemental
2880s	penetration beyond the one percent
2881s	Elemental penetration equals one percent
2883s	more damage
2885s	um
2888s	not really no
2891s	it's basically another more modifier it
2893s	does it works a little differently
2894s	against enemies that have resistance
2898s	um just like the the amount of damage
2899s	it's actually changing is
2902s	um
2906s	more effective against things with high
2908s	resistance
2911s	right
2914s	like if something's at yeah it's it's
2917s	yeah if something's at 99 resistance
2920s	um and you have one percent so you're
2921s	doing one percent total damage to that
2923s	thing you have one percent penetration
2924s	it's now at 98 resistance and you're now
2927s	doubling your damage so it's 100 more
2928s	damage in that case
2930s	um so it's it's it's more effective
2932s	against things that have high resistance
2934s	of that element
2937s	that's like a relative Effectiveness I
2939s	guess
2944s	so if you know you're fighting things
2945s	that are no no almost almost as a cavity
2948s	here almost everything in last Epoch has
2949s	zero resistances
2951s	um and unless it says under its name
2953s	resistant to fire or something like that
2955s	and when it says like resistant to fire
2956s	for example like the the big the crabs
2957s	uh in the desert are resistant of fire
2960s	um and they have they have a fair bit I
2963s	think it's like 50 or something
2971s	yeah too low
2975s	I feel like if the daily Mod for
2977s	dungeons was a mob modifier instead of a
2979s	reward modifier it wouldn't have any of
2980s	these big of an impact to the should I
2982s	run the dungeon but still maybe be
2983s	something that's challenging all the
2985s	time since right now uh you got people
2987s	hyped for the helmet day in temporal
2989s	sanction to farm fractured crowns and
2991s	stuff I don't mean to make
2993s	this back and forth yeah that's cool
2995s	thanks appreciate the feedback
2998s	um
3000s	there's definitely uh a reason why it's
3003s	it's not as
3006s	um it's not it's not like a just
3008s	universally great like there are
3009s	downsides to it for sure
3015s	can fractured crowns drop from temporal
3018s	Sanctum
3023s	that seems that seems wrong
3029s	or is it just like the setup items you
3031s	get more of the setup items you need to
3032s	make it
3043s	Elemental dots oh we don't do like dots
3045s	at all
3047s	unfortunate
3051s	are you going to be watching exalcon yep
3054s	the main the mainstream for Exile con
3056s	starts like as soon as this stream
3059s	finishes and I just realized that I said
3062s	I was going to show you guys a teaser
3063s	and I didn't so I'm sorry and I'm gonna
3067s	bring that up right now because
3071s	yeah
3073s	oh here's a cool teaser I can give you
3076s	random little extra one here's an extra
3078s	extra teaser
3079s	um when you have a Minion out and you
3081s	press a you didn't know this one you
3083s	know you can press a to force the minion
3085s	to go attack a cert to go stand in a
3087s	certain spot or if there's an enemy
3088s	nearby I'll go attack the enemy that's
3090s	there
3090s	um so you can direct them out of AOE
3092s	attacks which they don't really need to
3093s	do as much as it takes a little damage
3094s	to AOE attacks
3095s	um
3096s	or uh you can force them to attack a
3099s	certain Target if you like push them
3100s	forward in the fight that sort of thing
3102s	and
3103s	um now there's a little like so so this
3105s	this little
3107s	um
3109s	uh the
3111s	arrows those four little arrows every
3112s	time I click that show me where I'm
3114s	moving
3115s	um there's an alternate version also a
3117s	colored alternate version of those for
3119s	issuing a minion commands so now you see
3121s	it happening where it's actually issuing
3123s	the command too
3127s	tiny tiny little extra thing but here we
3130s	go
3132s	um
3134s	here is the art just the art for a new
3138s	item coming next patch
3140s	just the art
3143s	um
3144s	and it uh just so the proportions uh
3147s	make a little more sense this is a wand
3149s	I will say that it's a wand
3155s	uh
3157s	Master Sword asks when is Gamescom this
3160s	game's calm with an m not an N by the
3161s	way uh it needs to know when to go into
3164s	hyper vigilance mode
3166s	August 20th is when my flight is
3170s	uh
3173s	uh and
3176s	uh so I think the con starts on the 22nd
3179s	actually because we're like going
3180s	forward in time on the flight
3182s	uh yeah so I think it's the 22nd is the
3185s	day of the con the convention actually
3187s	starts
3190s	and and your hyper vigilance mode should
3193s	be set for the start of the convention
3200s	uh it's the next patch bringing new
3202s	masteries and is it arriving sooner
3204s	rather than later sooner being within
3206s	the next two months uh uh I'm I'm sorry
3209s	I can't I'm not allowed to answer
3210s	anything in that question at all
3213s	um
3220s	yeah I'm sorry I can't answer any of
3222s	that question I wish I could
3236s	uh other Arts audiences
3238s	um
3239s	August 23rd to 27th sorry I don't know
3242s	if I get a day early then do I have an
3244s	extra day in Germany all to myself
3247s	oh my God
3249s	that's great
3257s	sweet
3258s	I'm gonna see some sights
3260s	uh all right
3264s	just gonna slap this off the side and
3265s	minimize this a bit then I can hide it
3267s	can hide over there lucky plan
3272s	um
3275s	I love being able to instantly portal
3277s	out by pressing T enemy to be clicking
3279s	oh my dude feels so good yeah yeah it
3280s	does
3281s	you don't get to see your sweet portal
3283s	so if you got like sweet um like MTX
3285s	portals which is a little like wow as
3287s	you can see it but like we were looking
3289s	at this is this is where this is what I
3291s	was talking about earlier where like if
3291s	there's a if there's a conflict between
3293s	like gameplay and visuals gameplay wins
3297s	so
3298s	um you know we we made all these like
3300s	MTX portals that are gorgeous and
3302s	everything and there's more coming and
3303s	all sort of stuff and they're like got
3305s	these cool opening animations that are
3306s	really sweet and everything
3308s	um and like there's there's the option
3311s	for us to be like all right you can't go
3312s	on a portal until the animation finishes
3313s	right
3316s	um
3316s	but the
3318s	and and that was how they were set
3320s	initially like internally for like a day
3325s	and we're like nope can't happen gotta
3328s	be able to do it instantly because if
3330s	you're portaling or like if people can't
3332s	portal on instantly uh and and they're
3334s	and like they're making them wait for
3336s	the portals they're just gonna alter it
3337s	for
3338s	like that's even worse
3347s	are you gonna check out Peewee Khan
3349s	Excel con stuff uh it start right that's
3351s	your students yes I will
3353s	yeah I've I've got a link ready to go uh
3357s	I didn't even open my usually I've got
3358s	stuff prepped ready to go over here
3364s	oh mute tab mute site there we go that
3366s	was quick that was close
3368s	um
3374s	yes I've got I've got ready
3382s	uh will the characters
3384s	will the characters now be resetted for
3386s	1.0 so
3387s	um
3388s	no however characters that you play now
3391s	uh will not be eligible to compete in
3394s	the latter once uh 1.0 does release
3398s	so uh when when we when we release a new
3400s	cycle
3402s	um the latter resets and if you want to
3404s	compete in the latter and participate in
3405s	that cycle properly you'll have to make
3407s	a new character
3408s	um this is
3410s	this is so that there's
3412s	um there's sort of a chance for everyone
3413s	to have a fresh start uh which a lot of
3415s	people really like a lot of people they
3416s	don't like
3417s	um and it's it's a chance for there to
3420s	be a competitive environment at the
3421s	start so that there's this um
3423s	like it's it's a
3425s	you know it's a restarting that race and
3428s	oh
3430s	you got a covet shot a couple days ago
3432s	my arm is just killing me still
3434s	and uh
3437s	yeah so we are doing that the usual
3439s	follow-up question of that is like
3441s	um will there be things that are
3442s	exclusive to that uh to that
3445s	um cycle the ladder whatever you want to
3447s	call it and
3449s	um
3450s	the vast majority of things and at least
3452s	initially almost everything will be not
3455s	exclusive
3457s	um
3458s	and like there might be some minor
3460s	things we do we're going to look at
3461s	details and specifically how it lines up
3463s	later we're not fully set on exactly how
3467s	that relationship is going to be between
3468s	cycle and non-cycle cycle and standard
3470s	cycle and Legacy things we're calling
3472s	cycle Legacy
3474s	and um
3480s	uh yeah like like the the I know the
3483s	things I've heard at least initially
3484s	would be like there might be a unique
3485s	item or something like that uh
3489s	but especially because there's so many
3492s	things we want that we know we just want
3493s	to add to the game just to get that like
3495s	that core functionality really tight and
3497s	make that end game really enjoyable
3500s	um at least initially all those things
3501s	that you would see in a typical like I'm
3504s	going to use Peewee as an example so the
3505s	whatever like the league mechanic is in
3507s	Poe will be rolled out to
3510s	um all of them simultaneously so like
3511s	all the standard characters and the
3513s	cycle characters initially because so
3515s	many of the things we're doing in the
3516s	initial Cycles are stuff that were like
3519s	if we could put ourselves in a like a
3522s	time capsule for a year
3524s	to like
3526s	if we if we could spend a year in a day
3527s	and and work on the game for that year
3530s	what we put into it I mean all those
3531s	things are going to want to just roll
3533s	right in the center right away
3545s	and we'll be looking to feedback from
3547s	our players
3549s	um and and looking at like analytics for
3551s	various things and you know just just
3554s	seeing how we feel about it and all
3555s	sorts of stuff and it'll evolve and grow
3557s	and change as we get feedback as we as
3559s	the game progresses all that sort of
3560s	stuff
3567s	uh do you Des like D4 or Peewee better I
3570s	think there's a general feeling that
3572s	most people prefer Poe
3574s	but it's definitely not a consensus
3577s	um
3580s	like there's everyone's got their
3582s	preferences for sure but I think if if
3584s	you were gonna pull everyone in the
3585s	studio uh and and just whichever one got
3588s	more votes you had to pick one whichever
3590s	one got more votes I I'd say likely Poe
3593s	would probably get more votes but I I
3595s	don't know I'm sorry
3598s	I bet it would be close though I better
3600s	be really close
3608s	resonance thingies when when they're
3610s	ready I don't know yet I'm sorry
3613s	uh so in Civ six do you try to face tank
3616s	enemy nukes with your cities and units
3619s	no I'm way better in sim6 than I am at
3621s	nle
3629s	which is terrible I know
3636s	no I'm actually pretty good at zip six
3637s	that is
3649s	I recently got this like enhanced AI mod
3652s	that's just insane I was like
3655s	I could do deity before which is the
3657s	hardest difficulty not like a breeze but
3659s	I could do it every single time
3660s	uh and
3663s	good like just autopilot through the
3665s	Mortal or whatever it is Emperor
3667s	Immortal I think and and how would this
3669s	like AI add-on mod like struggling hard
3673s	on ever just went below that
3679s	uh fractured Crown is gonna drop with
3681s	the more resulted helmets daily modifier
3682s	pops off in farming materials yeah okay
3684s	cool
3685s	uh how many new selections are there and
3689s	which patch of the next 500 coming
3691s	500.
3694s	um
3696s	uh how many unique set items are there
3699s	in total right now I don't know I bet
3701s	you could find that number out pretty
3702s	easily by looking at Tunk lab
3706s	or uh let's see about tools.com and
3711s	if I was gonna guess I'd say there's in
3714s	the range of like 300 of them
3716s	350.
3723s	we we've been we've been adding like
3728s	I don't know five or six of them every
3729s	patch it seems right now
3732s	last last few that we just had had a
3734s	small number in a patch
3739s	um
3746s	it's here
3748s	let's put this bad boy up
3753s	boom
3761s	new item coming
3769s	this is a new unique item
3772s	for uh
3777s	um
3778s	for the next batch it's coming it's
3780s	ready to go it's in the game uh and it's
3783s	uh you know we're we're really trying to
3785s	incorporate more thematic
3789s	uh parts to some of the some of the dots
3791s	that are in the game so there's there's
3792s	this sort of there's this poll in both
3794s	directions we really want the core basic
3796s	dots like bleed ignite things like that
3798s	to be to be pretty standard to be pretty
3800s	basically pretty easy to understand
3801s	pretty straightforward
3803s	um not like like low complexity there
3807s	um but we do also really want to have
3809s	room for more thematic
3812s	um
3813s	evolutions of those mechanics I guess
3815s	you could say
3816s	um
3818s	and so this is this is supposed to be
3819s	like uh
3821s	uh helping bring that like I think this
3823s	is a pretty standard mechanic for like
3825s	if you're gonna have an extra mechanic
3826s	on top of bleeding
3828s	um having them take more damage from the
3830s	bleed while they're moving is it it's a
3832s	pretty standard thing like this there's
3833s	there's lots of games where
3835s	um if like oh you've got a bleed on you
3837s	and you stop moving you take less damage
3838s	or you stop bleeding or it expires fast
3840s	or something like that
3841s	um and so this is kind of tapping into
3842s	that a little bit
3844s	yeah
3846s	and there was a little bit of new tech
3847s	that had to be made for that
3857s	um
3860s	armor we know the ton of armor saying
3862s	that's not terrible
3867s	when 1.0 releases will there be an
3870s	option to start the campaign
3872s	uh but for level 100.
3877s	no
3883s	uh is the character lip going away for
3885s	1.0 no the character limit is not going
3887s	away we won't ever have a point where
3889s	it's just like make as many as you want
3891s	have fun
3893s	um but I do believe I actually just
3896s	posted today about
3898s	um expanding that character limit
3901s	uh and I I'm
3905s	we'll see how that goes
3910s	um but I I know that the
3912s	the character the online character well
3914s	the offline character limit is so huge
3915s	that it's that's fine
3918s	um the online character limit is
3920s	um
3922s	for some players I think it's it feels
3924s	very restrictive I think the vast
3926s	majority of people probably haven't
3927s	noticed that there is one yet
3930s	um
3932s	actually I can tell you the vast
3934s	majority of players haven't hit the
3935s	limit yet
3937s	um or at least aren't sitting at the
3938s	limit I'll say that and
3940s	um
3942s	but I think the people that it is
3943s	affecting is really affecting so um we
3946s	do want to to fix that for people
3951s	as I've said this before but
3955s	the limit that we put in place was not a
3958s	design like a game design decision
3961s	um it was a
3964s	um let's play it safe and uh
3968s	trying to avoid potential catastrophic
3969s	problems decision
3982s	but it looks like we're good so
3989s	I'll be pretty surprised if that number
3991s	doesn't go up pretty substantially
3997s	but I can't I can't guarantee anything
3998s	without that just because it hasn't
4000s	happened yet
4004s	uh have you guys ever considered a
4006s	corruption type system yes like a one
4009s	used
4010s	uh like a one-time use crafting item
4013s	that can be used on unique slash set
4015s	that has a chance to prove at a mod but
4018s	could also break yes we definitely have
4020s	considered systems like that
4022s	um currently our crafting system like
4023s	our
4024s	um main crafting like this is the forger
4026s	here doesn't interact with unique items
4028s	I think at all apart from creating one
4031s	unique item in a weird way for Action
4033s	Crown look at that it's cool
4035s	um
4035s	and
4038s	uh we don't have any intentions to
4040s	change that at the moment however
4044s	um I I the the suggestion regarding
4048s	because we get the suggestion a ton the
4050s	suggestion the specific suggestion
4051s	regarding a corruption style mechanic
4053s	for unique items that I personally like
4054s	the most is one as a dungeon reward for
4058s	future dungeon
4068s	this game have an overlay map yep there
4070s	it is sorry I I um
4073s	I I usually play with it I like
4074s	personally I'll play with it on however
4077s	because it does obscure things a little
4079s	bit uh I I have been asked to play with
4081s	it off
4083s	um
4084s	so I usually stream with it off
4088s	um but yes it does have there's an
4089s	overlay map
4090s	um
4091s	it has it has settings for changing the
4095s	zoom scale of it uh also has the you can
4098s	you can change the opacity
4100s	um we are it does have some problems
4103s	that it's like impossible to see in some
4105s	zones and we are working to improve that
4108s	it's not perfect yet by any stretch the
4110s	imagination but we're working on it
4113s	also the mini Maps getting some upgrades
4115s	uh this patch and the quest log this
4118s	panel is getting some upgrades in this
4120s	patch uh and and this Quest log and this
4123s	Quest log
4126s	all sorts of stuff's happening there's
4128s	always stuff happening
4141s	uh I'm Veterans of six and Ellie yeah I
4144s	can believe that gee thanks
4151s	uh all right how many juicy teasers do
4153s	you have for us today and how many leaks
4155s	can you let slept I only have
4158s	uh one more little league today
4160s	one more little tease there for you
4163s	you got me sharing everything so early
4165s	today ah yeah I got one more for you
4172s	I don't really ever I don't really come
4174s	into this with the plan of when I'm
4175s	gonna share any of the teachers I just
4177s	set them up and I'm like oh whatever I
4178s	feel like and I'll show them
4180s	so sometimes they get shared really
4181s	early and sometimes they wait till the
4182s	end and I'm like oh crap I gotta share
4184s	something
4196s	um
4209s	I know you guys don't like to give us
4212s	the option to hide uniques that we don't
4214s	like uh but what about the other
4216s	direction gives the option to highlight
4217s	stuff that we like even more not only
4219s	uniques but exultancies too like with
4221s	the beam yeah so the um
4226s	oh no
4233s	just got my hand caught on a thread on
4236s	my shorts and they just left a huge
4238s	thread off that's fine though
4240s	um
4241s	yeah there's there are some there are
4243s	some minor changes to the loot filter
4245s	coming
4246s	um
4251s	I I
4253s	what you're hoping for is not happening
4255s	yet I'm sorry uh there's a possibility
4257s	Could Happen later but it's not not
4258s	happening this patch
4260s	I'm sorry
4267s	want to buy more unique ones please yeah
4272s	this one's sweet
4274s	this one's a real sweet
4278s	um
4281s	sorry about that was probably pretty
4282s	loud uh How likely will those boots roll
4284s	with LP
4286s	um as far as I know their LP level is
4289s	equal to their equip level so whatever
4290s	that number is down there
4299s	I think 85 I think
4307s	and look where's that
4311s	it's just too pixelated
4313s	oh 85 48 oh I can read
4317s	I don't I don't think they have an
4319s	enhanced uh LP requirement
4324s	so medium
4330s	let me my guess
4334s	also I also don't know what the role
4336s	range is on any of those things are
4345s	uh is there a non-cycle leaderboard for
4348s	non-seasonal characters to compete in or
4350s	no uh currently there's not
4353s	um
4358s	I I don't
4360s	think there's one planned at the moment
4364s	um
4366s	I'm actually quite confident there's not
4368s	one planned at the moment
4369s	but um
4372s	you know uh as I see we're always open
4375s	to feedback and suggestions
4394s	part part of the problem with
4397s	um having having like an eternal one
4399s	like that is if there's ever a situation
4402s	where
4404s	um
4405s	like say there's one like cycle where
4408s	things get a little out of control
4411s	and and there's a build that does like
4416s	this this is also a problem with with
4417s	Cycles too and mid-cycle balancing and
4419s	things like that but say there's a build
4421s	that has
4423s	um the potential to do to clear like 10
4425s	000 waves
4427s	um and there'll be other things that
4429s	we'll do lattice for it as well in the
4430s	future but look just I mean it's the
4432s	only model Arena the arena is the only
4434s	thing we have
4435s	uh letter for right now so assuming that
4437s	there's let's say we get to a point
4438s	where there's like season 50 or cycle 15
4441s	uh has there's there's a there's a sweet
4445s	um Bard uh build that can get to 10 000
4449s	ways
4451s	um
4452s	and uh next next cycle we like we fixed
4456s	it was a bug that caused that or or
4458s	maybe the or just a bad design decision
4460s	and and so we we nerfed that back to
4463s	reality
4465s	um
4466s	for the next cycle and it's back to
4469s	where all the other ones have been
4471s	um but suddenly no one can ever take the
4474s	top spot on the Eternal ladder ever
4476s	again
4480s	um and and that sucks you know so then
4483s	we kind of have to be like okay is is it
4485s	like resetting it every time in which
4487s	case it's just the same as cycle except
4489s	the characters don't start over and
4492s	um so there's a lot of stuff that goes
4494s	into that and
4495s	that's probably where we got to with
4498s	having there be one for
4501s	uh non-cycle characters
4509s	hi Mike hello how you doing did you ever
4512s	have a discussion about restricting
4516s	ailments to certain damage types or
4519s	skill tags for example firewall is able
4521s	to chill enemies if the character has
4522s	chill chance somewhere which may seem a
4524s	bit odd so chill chance can be tied to
4527s	uh having cold steel or cold damage of a
4529s	weapon that's something like this ever
4530s	come up yes it has
4532s	um
4533s	I I think the like there I agree if
4536s	there was so if there if there was no
4538s	magic in the world
4541s	and it was uh like a a fully realistic
4543s	setting
4545s	um and like
4547s	and all that yeah I I think that we
4549s	would probably take an approach like
4551s	that
4552s	um how does my Fireball chill something
4554s	because Magic
4556s	I I think it's a perfectly acceptable
4558s	reason for that
4560s	um and I think there's there's uh more
4562s	interesting options that can come up
4564s	from being able to do that than not
4569s	um
4571s	I I think there might be some uh room
4574s	for and and generally this already works
4577s	this way because when there's just
4577s	general synergies uh between
4580s	similarly elemented ailments and skills
4583s	so you'll you'll just see skills that
4586s	are cold skills able to get more chill
4588s	chance he's like just chill chance
4589s	easier than normal
4593s	um
4596s	so like if there was hypothetically the
4599s	uh a build that like the best way to
4602s	ignite enemies was with
4605s	um was was by by using
4609s	uh some skill that like had no business
4612s	being that the primary ignition skill
4613s	like like tidal wave is the best ignite
4617s	skill in the game you're like okay
4619s	that's kinda odd at best
4623s	um we'd probably do something to to
4626s	bring down the
4628s	um the ignite capabilities of tidal wave
4634s	um
4634s	but just having that as a possibility of
4636s	being able to ignite I think is
4638s	something we'll we'll keep around for
4639s	quite a while
4644s	uh yeah sorry if I sound like I'm
4647s	focusing on teasers that is totally fine
4652s	Scandinavian I kind of go before
4654s	streaming evening gets going even gets
4657s	going yeah the it's it's late for you I
4659s	know I'm sorry
4661s	um
4663s	I I know it's tough for for some uh
4666s	European and and uh east of that viewers
4672s	uh
4678s	and and uh yeah I I appreciate that
4683s	the majority of the exciting stuff for
4685s	this stream is um
4689s	uh what gets spoiled and teased and
4692s	that's totally fine
4702s	uh let's see unique two-handed sword
4704s	themed around Warpath is there nothing
4707s	really
4710s	maybe not specifically Warpath but I
4712s	know there's lots of unique tuna swords
4713s	that have high Synergy with Warpath
4722s	you know you want something here here
4724s	hit me hit up the feedback and
4726s	suggestions Forum on our forums with uh
4730s	with a suggestion example of what you're
4731s	looking for
4734s	um and don't get too specific with the
4737s	details of like how much of each stat it
4740s	has focus on if you're gonna if you're
4744s	gonna pitch something like this just in
4745s	just just advice for anyone if you've
4747s	got like an idea that you got floating
4748s	around and you really want like a
4750s	Warpath Synergy two-handed sword make
4753s	that the like the the core of the pitch
4757s	um and kind of ignore everything else so
4759s	just be like
4760s	um maybe if you're like smacking out the
4762s	item and like like writing lines of
4764s	affixes just be like okay it's got
4767s	um
4768s	increase it's got this functionality
4771s	with Warpath that's a sweet affix it's
4773s	Unique affix like if I was gonna pitch
4775s	prism wraps let's say that's a bad
4777s	example
4780s	uh uh uh
4785s	I don't know like maybe this one here
4787s	like just just have like
4789s	Mana Synergy spell Synergy and when you
4793s	use movement or time travel skill all
4794s	stats inside of a triple for four
4795s	seconds like just just have that like
4797s	generic like this is the theming of the
4799s	item these are roughly the types of
4801s	things that I want to see on the item
4802s	like offensive defensive physical
4805s	defensive ability or uh fire offensive
4808s	stats
4810s	um and here's the here's the stat that I
4812s	think is really interesting and would be
4813s	cool
4815s	and it it's it's
4818s	um
4819s	something that if you if you get if you
4821s	put like okay this has 12 strength and
4822s	this has eight endurance and like you
4824s	get these like really specific stats
4827s	um a lot of time the focus on the
4829s	discussion for that will end up being in
4830s	the detail of of those secondary effects
4834s	and secondary stats and not on the
4836s	primary reason for wanting that item
4840s	or like oh with that ability that that
4842s	item to be so op or things like that
4844s	just having like a a broad like this is
4847s	the interaction I'm looking for
4849s	will quite often yield better
4850s	discussions because people can also make
4852s	other suggestions on like what types of
4854s	other stats they'd like to see go with
4855s	it
4868s	scrolling scrolling scrolling oh my God
4871s	I caught up
4876s	good job everybody couldn't have done it
4878s	without you
4886s	oh
4888s	oh you know what
4890s	I think it's time for some water
4927s	also has a question for me that I missed
4929s	oh no oh yeah if if I I tell you I got
4932s	up and I'm like uh
4934s	um if you have a question uh please put
4936s	at last Epoch game in the question so I
4937s	see it and if I skipped past your
4940s	question because that wasn't there or I
4941s	just skip past it because I suck uh
4943s	please feel free to repost your question
4949s	um
4951s	and I'll be happy to answer
4953s	but I see that there's a question here
4954s	above hello I'm a casual player are you
4958s	are your Dev Team Planning a map
4961s	adjustment to improve the navigation and
4963s	all the stuff about oh no I'm scrolling
4967s	uh about where we are where we can go I
4970s	felt so lost about the map traveling
4975s	feedback
4976s	um usually we get the exact opposite
4978s	that it's two on Rails
4981s	um
4982s	now there's there's too much Direction
4985s	which is it's I'm not not saying one of
4988s	them's right ones wrong or anything like
4989s	that but um it's just interesting to get
4992s	um like like multiple angles there
4995s	um
4998s	I think that there is room especially in
5000s	the campaign
5002s	um if someone really wanted a a direct a
5005s	more directed experience to have that as
5006s	an option
5008s	um
5009s	I can't say it's something that we are
5011s	like immediately planning there are some
5015s	um just clarity
5017s	issues with the map right now and um
5021s	uh I I think with the quest system
5024s	specifically and how the quest system uh
5026s	shows you new stuff that's coming
5028s	um and the quests you have and which
5030s	questions should be focusing on uh if
5032s	you're not 100 familiar with that sort
5034s	of thing that we are improving so um I
5037s	really briefly mentioned it a second ago
5040s	but I will be a little bit more clear
5042s	about it uh because I was so so brief
5045s	the um
5046s	those chainsaw
5049s	on the right hand side of the screen
5050s	here there is this um like this Quest
5052s	thing and you can click on it to bring
5054s	up the quest you have
5056s	um there's I think this gets a little
5060s	uh a little muddy a little confused a
5063s	little jumbled a little like okay what's
5065s	actually the most important thing and uh
5068s	it sometimes Fades into the background
5069s	on uh brighter stages as well
5073s	so we are working to uh improve the
5075s	clarity and
5078s	um
5079s	but like restricting the information to
5081s	be more more important information less
5083s	more important information so like less
5085s	information but have it focus on the
5087s	stuff that's more important a little bit
5088s	smarter and then give you the option to
5090s	specifically pin specific quests over
5093s	there as well that'll help you stay on
5095s	track I think
5097s	um
5101s	so so yeah I think we're looking to give
5105s	you better tools to interact with what's
5107s	already there
5109s	um and improve the clarity but not
5111s	necessarily actually give you more
5113s	information
5115s	just just present that information
5117s	better
5122s	to help will help and if it doesn't help
5124s	enough for you
5126s	um or
5129s	um
5131s	or does or you know either either way
5133s	I'd uh that is feedback I'd be
5135s	interested in hearing
5142s	and thanks for the pink sideboard Wars
5143s	too
5146s	for that
5148s	uh maybe a bit off topic that's okay
5150s	we're in the back half you can be off
5152s	topic
5154s	um but are you guys watching x.com later
5156s	today yes Excel con starts as well the
5159s	the pre-show uh starts in four minutes
5162s	so I will not be offended if people bail
5165s	for that
5167s	um
5168s	but I will be uh and the the main show
5171s	starts like the main like keynote stage
5173s	presentation all that starts
5176s	um
5177s	as soon as the stream ends so the stream
5179s	will end
5181s	um
5182s	and raise the stream ends Exile Khan's
5184s	main presentation starts and I've got
5187s	that loaded up on another tab ready to
5188s	go so I will be streaming flip over and
5191s	I'll be watching that myself
5193s	um
5194s	I'll probably hop in our voice chats and
5196s	see if someone wants to watch it with me
5198s	I'm sure there will be lots
5201s	I do have a bunch of work to get done
5203s	today still though so
5207s	probably working at the same time
5215s	actually I'll be working on the ordering
5217s	of this Quest side panel thing here
5220s	um how that actually displays nicely
5221s	that's what I'm working on today
5226s	um
5230s	also I just I'm just thinking back with
5232s	that question you were asking earlier
5234s	um Bend us about the map traveling
5236s	another thing
5238s	um that you may not realize if you click
5241s	on a quest it takes you to the map where
5243s	that location is and then on top of that
5246s	as well whenever you click on an area
5249s	we're adding a little thing here so
5250s	it'll display the level of the zone that
5253s	it is to kind of help you get a feel on
5254s	where it is in the storyline
5257s	um and then we're also marking a better
5259s	chapter progression stuff so you'll be
5260s	able to see like where things which
5263s	chapter you're in
5265s	um and then also having uh chapter
5268s	cinematics delineation so you'll
5270s	um you'll you'll be able to and they're
5273s	not they're not full on CGI crazy
5275s	cinematics
5276s	um
5277s	more in the style of the opening uh
5279s	character intros that we have now
5282s	uh that'll help keep things in place so
5284s	yeah it's just better presentation
5285s	really
5290s	um better let us hide quests onto the
5292s	mini map yeah
5294s	um well you can you can do it all right
5296s	now here but yes
5300s	the fewer will just show in general
5302s	anyways
5308s	so you won't frequently get into the
5309s	situation where you're like
5311s	why are there eight quests there
5314s	that I don't care about
5324s	uh all right anything that works to
5326s	address really spammy builds killing
5328s	online games even in Solo
5331s	um
5333s	we we are just improving performance all
5336s	over the place all the time so this
5338s	should help with that in general
5340s	uh how soon do you stream when and for
5342s	how long usually I stream weekly
5345s	um
5346s	for two hours from
5349s	uh
5350s	uh the an hour and a half ago to half an
5353s	hour from now
5354s	um depending on your time zone
5357s	uh so if you're like Central United
5359s	States it's from three to five PM every
5362s	Friday
5364s	um
5366s	and
5371s	um there are some exceptions like I'll
5373s	take holidays off or every once in a
5375s	while it feels like a huge event
5377s	happening I won't do it
5379s	um or if we've like just released a
5381s	patch I also won't do it
5383s	um
5384s	just because there's usually usually we
5386s	have a lot of there's a lot of community
5387s	uh members that are streaming at that
5389s	time and we don't like to take take away
5392s	from them
5408s	okay more questions I can do that
5411s	uh are there gonna be more slash better
5413s	Target farming options coming with 1.0
5415s	or sooner after first cycle maybe yes
5417s	1.0 will have new exciting interesting
5420s	Target priming options
5425s	we've teased those in a uh devlog from
5428s	like
5429s	six months ago
5435s	with the item faction system we'll bring
5438s	that
5444s	uh
5446s	are they gonna be oh yeah I answer that
5448s	hey hi how's it going hey plans
5452s	uh to Resurrection teammates in Boss
5455s	room it's kind of demotivating when one
5458s	beats it and the other person dies they
5460s	have to refill the whole bar again
5463s	um nothing specific on the on on the
5467s	plans no
5470s	um I think there's
5473s	uh
5475s	yeah that it it's it's it's definitely
5478s	tricky to like decide how that works and
5481s	the best way because there has to be a
5482s	death penalty of some sort
5484s	um
5486s	and like in in the scenario that say
5489s	something just is like
5491s	able to
5494s	um
5496s	the ability to pull like low-level
5500s	characters through that content and and
5503s	still have them get full credit for
5504s	doing literally nothing
5506s	um like just walk in die wait for the
5508s	fight to happen get credit it's a little
5512s	undesirable
5514s	I want to say
5516s	um
5517s	it's not the end of the world but it's
5519s	there's something kind of cheap about it
5522s	um
5523s	like the wrong term I don't know we're
5525s	we're not huge on that idea in general
5528s	um
5530s	and it it is frustrating to have
5532s	legitimate examples where like
5535s	um maybe you're like you're playing as a
5537s	team and there's like there's a huge
5539s	attack coming in and one person's like
5541s	also express myself to save you so you
5543s	can finish the fight and you beat it
5544s	together as a team and like you did it
5545s	together as a team and there's like a
5547s	legitimate effort there and there's like
5549s	the the sacrifice was was the uh like a
5551s	means to an end to finish the fight and
5553s	and have a successful overall combat
5556s	um and like that sucks to have that
5558s	person that made that sacrifice not get
5559s	the reward for it
5561s	um
5565s	so it was room for improvements there
5568s	um but right now it is intentional the
5569s	way it is
5573s	which is probably not the ideal answer
5576s	for you I'm sorry
5579s	I meant in addition to the two factions
5581s	nothing specific I can talk about
5586s	but like
5589s	if you're asking for it you might be
5592s	underestimating the uh depth there
5612s	so you're saying me doing a D4 World
5614s	boss at level six isn't ideal yes I I
5617s	would argue that that's not ideal
5624s	I I would suggest that most people would
5627s	argue that's not ideal
5633s	oh my nose is so itchy today
5645s	how old is the Mage class character
5649s	that's a good question
5651s	I I would suggest he's probably pretty
5653s	old
5655s	um but he's making up for some of his
5657s	maybe uh aging physical characteristics
5660s	with magic to uh make himself pretty
5662s	pretty agile in his in his age
5667s	like
5671s	clear these off
5680s	I mean
5686s	80
5696s	this is spry for an old guy
5706s	idle if you want here
5708s	that was a nice Idol
5712s	that window's gonna have to get closed
5725s	if you heard that uh popping sound that
5730s	was a little one running past the window
5732s	with a fake lawnmower
5733s	toy thing that they love
5739s	what's this
5741s	give me that I want it I need it
5756s	okay more questions
5759s	I did die quite a few times though
5763s	good
5765s	punishments
5768s	I'm just kidding uh any current
5771s	characters
5772s	uh level next to your name easy way to
5775s	spot them
5776s	uh add current characters levels next to
5778s	your name
5780s	oh my goodness
5785s	add current character levels next to
5787s	your name easy way to spot them
5791s	oh like people leeching
5794s	and you kind of have there's no um like
5796s	open world aspects you can't have to add
5798s	someone
5802s	and you can see people next to the party
5803s	like you can see character levels
5805s	uh in party frames
5809s	this um
5812s	this Echo is I think a little bit above
5814s	my power level
5817s	feels like
5819s	feels like I'm kind of getting my butt
5820s	handed to me
5835s	it's because there's Avalanche casters
5837s	isn't it
5838s	they know that's my weakness
5843s	uh
5845s	here we are okay uh did you guys ever
5847s	consider a holy damage type yes seems
5850s	like holy theme spells are still between
5852s	fire and lightning we did absolutely
5854s	consider a fire a holy damage type
5856s	um
5858s	we went back and forth on the on the
5860s	specific damage types that were in the
5861s	game so many times
5863s	um and and consider changing them pretty
5865s	recently actually relatively recently
5867s	not that recently oh come on Mike
5871s	don't die now and
5874s	um
5875s	yes we definitely consider holy as a
5877s	damage type
5879s	um
5882s	it kind of it it juxtaposes nicely with
5884s	void was was one of the big reasons to
5886s	have it but
5888s	um
5893s	we we kind of we we kind of felt like
5895s	there's sort of these like more stain
5898s	like there's the three three Elemental
5900s	ones standard basic everything's got it
5901s	physical standard basically these these
5904s	four are like the core damage types
5907s	these four right here those those were
5909s	gonna happen pretty well no matter what
5911s	um
5912s	and then it was sort of a debate on
5914s	these ones and possibly holy
5917s	um and then like like Shadow comes in as
5919s	an option the Shadow's so close the void
5921s	that you know void takes that one no
5923s	problem
5924s	um
5926s	and and there's there's nothing that's
5928s	really in the yellow color scheme color
5930s	spectrum we do have something sometimes
5933s	where lightning
5934s	maybe could be switched to Yellow but
5937s	you know it's like holy yellow was an
5939s	even number of them but like
5944s	large debate over this yes
5949s	very large
5953s	um ultimately we think we felt that fire
5955s	for the most part would handle almost
5958s	every use case of wholly damage nicely
5961s	um
5962s	and and we do now have Holy Fire as as a
5967s	as a VFX element so like there's
5969s	wherever you hit someone with like
5970s	lightning for example there's like a
5972s	little bit of a like a lightning effect
5974s	that happens on them or whenever you
5975s	cast something with lightning there's
5976s	like a lightning spell casting effect
5978s	around you this is like little tiny
5980s	effects here for extra theme that it's
5981s	hard to tell them apart from the skills
5983s	that you're using
5984s	um but they do happen and
5987s	um there's a there's a there's a unique
5990s	so like fire damage that's dealt from a
5992s	holy Source has a different all those
5994s	effects are slightly different for for
5996s	Holy Fire than they are for regular fire
5998s	now
6000s	so VFX wise we are distinguishing the
6002s	two
6006s	but mechanically they are not different
6016s	I find myself in the corner
6023s	boy
6026s	oh that's uh what happens when I drag
6029s	that on just the screen slightly
6036s	I think that might be like the first
6037s	time I've done that
6043s	okay
6044s	uh next question
6047s	when will you add first person camera
6049s	you promised
6053s	pretty sure that was an April Fool's
6054s	joke question mark
6061s	no we're not we're not seriously gonna
6062s	add it uh uh just in case that's a
6064s	serious question uh
6067s	we're not actually gonna add a first
6068s	person camera as a serious game camera
6071s	mode
6073s	I mean uh I shouldn't say never but we
6077s	there are no plans for it there are
6079s	actively plans against it
6089s	uh it's not Avalanche that's your
6091s	analysis it's incoming dance in general
6095s	why do you hate me
6099s	that's a good point
6103s	uh uh all right next one oh here we go
6107s	uh what's the next thing when it comes
6111s	to trade faction how hard will it be to
6112s	obtain the currency to sell and buy
6115s	items
6117s	um well uh every time you kill an enemy
6122s	um
6124s	you'll get some of it
6128s	or like progress towards like it's it's
6130s	just killing enemies
6134s	so real easy
6136s	there's there's no like uh there's no
6139s	random drop lock associated with it it's
6141s	just
6143s	um killing enemies
6147s	which is the same way to get the the
6150s	um favor which is the the term for it
6153s	um same way you get favor for
6155s	um circle of Fortunes killing enemies as
6157s	well like it's you only get favor for
6158s	the guild you're currently representing
6160s	so
6161s	um the faction you're currently
6161s	representing sorry so if you are
6163s	representing a circle of Fortune and you
6165s	kill enemies you get circular Fortune
6166s	paper if you are currently representing
6168s	the immersion skill and you killing
6169s	these you get Merchant skill flavor and
6171s	then you use that favor to interact with
6173s	the systems for those factions so
6175s	um as you have you spend circle of
6177s	Fortune favor in order to
6179s	um interact with circular Fortune
6180s	mechanics like um buying prophecies
6182s	things like that uh and then you you
6184s	spend favor you spend um
6187s	Merchant skilled favor on
6190s	um interacting with the bazaar
6192s	buying selling items they cost some
6194s	amount of favor based on what you're
6195s	buying it's on
6199s	got it
6201s	um all that information by the way if
6202s	you are interested in looking it up
6203s	again or referencing it or more detail
6205s	is available in the
6208s	um item factions development post Dev
6210s	blog post that went out
6212s	um originally it's on the forums
6215s	uh and
6218s	there's a little drop down at the bottom
6220s	of it that it says FAQ
6223s	um that has uh like extra scenarios and
6226s	details and specifics and all that sort
6228s	of thing
6229s	um and I'll I'll a ton of information is
6232s	there so if you're like
6234s	um I wonder if this Edge case Works
6235s	likely it's in that FAQ we we updated
6238s	that FAQ as people were asking questions
6240s	on the on that thread
6243s	um
6244s	so like it's it's got answers to most
6246s	questions on there
6249s	I want that ring but I think I'm gonna
6251s	die if I stay here
6257s	oh no
6259s	this is the problem with instantaneous
6261s	portals you do it too fast
6266s	oh I just did it twice in a row I'm just
6269s	like spamming it
6275s	there are worse things
6282s	beer drop rate versus red ring of Alara
6285s	alaria um
6289s	Lara
6293s	do I don't know the name of that item
6296s	uh anyway it doesn't matter uh the
6302s	uh if if
6303s	you play
6306s	uh very potion aggressive and have
6308s	increased potion drop rate
6309s	probably it's a ring actually
6312s	is is rare
6319s	uh or you're up here weren't we
6328s	that was the one we just did we got we
6329s	got credit for that you must have
6334s	I don't like enrageous I do like just
6336s	streaming Cruise damage that's fine
6339s	uh
6343s	uh another faction question happy to
6345s	when they come out will we be able to
6347s	sell all possibilities that they have
6350s	before choosing one see all
6351s	possibilities that they have in
6352s	particular yeah
6354s	um I think so
6357s	uh if it's not in the UI in game I'm
6360s	sure it'll be on a website somewhere
6364s	um
6366s	I I all possibilities might be tricky so
6369s	there's for example the circle of
6371s	Fortune you won't be able to see when
6375s	you're selecting one you won't be able
6376s	to see like every single
6379s	um
6380s	for example you'll see every single
6383s	uh what they called
6385s	prophecies that are available
6388s	um
6389s	but I suspect that all of the rank
6392s	rewards something that we there's a few
6394s	example rank rewards in that in that
6397s	document
6398s	um in that devlog it's not all it's just
6400s	there's some of them each rank will have
6401s	its own rank reward and
6404s	um so it's a selection of some examples
6405s	of things and the style that we're
6407s	deciding on for those
6409s	um so it's possible that all of those
6410s	will invisible I don't know
6414s	um I will say though that the
6418s	um
6421s	for the vast majority of players
6427s	we're trying to design this the item
6429s	we're designing the item faction system
6430s	such that almost everyone the decision
6434s	to for which one to play comes down to
6437s	do I wanna do I want to interact with
6438s	trade or not do I want to interact with
6440s	trade I don't feel action I don't feel
6442s	Merchant skill do I not care about oh my
6445s	God I just take my hands off the
6446s	keyboard do I do I not care about uh
6450s	Trading
6452s	um we're going straight to
6454s	uh circle of Fortune it's just like do I
6457s	care about trade or not that's that's
6458s	the whole decision-making process
6461s	um and
6463s	they're like if you're kind of on the
6465s	fence there if you you know like uh well
6467s	like if the not trade rewards are good
6469s	enough then maybe I'll go not trade or
6472s	like you know like if you're on the
6473s	fence then yeah get into the
6474s	nitty-gritty is really good
6478s	um and we do want to have a little bit
6479s	more information available there for
6480s	players that do want that
6483s	um and I died so as is customary
6486s	look at that cute little guy
6488s	Lily guy
6493s	just a nice little bit just just just
6494s	you know
6504s	um
6506s	sorry about that
6508s	uh are you guys worried about trade
6511s	prices we'll go uh to like billions
6515s	since trade won't let people get super
6516s	wealthy depending on how it works
6520s	I would let people get super wealthy
6522s	depending on how it works yeah so the um
6527s	gen we do we have a lot of stuff in
6530s	place
6531s	to
6532s	um deter things like that from happening
6535s	um and the
6539s	uh I would say the the main the main
6542s	thing there is just is just the um
6546s	uh like a limited number of listing
6549s	slots
6550s	and buying and selling costing favor so
6554s	you'll like
6556s	um cornering the market on low-level
6558s	items won't be uh won't really be a
6562s	problem
6563s	and uh there will still be a market for
6566s	selling low-level items
6569s	um so like
6571s	players that are dealing in these
6573s	hypothetically billions dollar uh items
6575s	won't won't care about at all uh dealing
6579s	in these low-level items and there will
6581s	still be room to sell them so even if
6583s	even if you are this kind of thing that
6585s	happens where like okay you're
6587s	maybe you're finding your character
6590s	that's strong enough to doing the
6592s	high-end stuff super high-end stuff
6593s	that's doing
6594s	um doing things to find these super
6596s	expensive items and you're also finding
6599s	a ton of these like lower level items
6603s	um and and you can either flood the
6606s	market with it or
6608s	you know try and corn on the market on
6609s	certain things and and those types of
6613s	situations won't really happen
6615s	because of the restrictions that there
6617s	are on on that trade system
6620s	um
6625s	which I think will be positive overall
6628s	which we we do fully understand that
6631s	there are people who really want to have
6634s	that free market trade experience
6637s	um and it's not going to hit the hit the
6639s	right notes for that free market trade
6640s	experience that you're seeking
6642s	um
6643s	where where playing the the market is
6645s	like a huge portion of the enjoyment and
6649s	um oh I still got that thing I've done
6651s	sorry
6653s	uh and
6656s	uh it's it's unfortunate that we won't
6658s	be able to deliver for people who are
6660s	looking for that experience
6661s	um but we won't be able to deliver for
6663s	people that are looking for that
6664s	experience
6665s	um
6668s	and that's like we I don't know if there
6671s	is a trade system like a a trade system
6674s	that can exist there might be I don't
6677s	know if there is or not that that is
6679s	like ideal for everyone
6683s	there's just so many dissenting opinions
6685s	on
6687s	um what is ideal that having all of
6689s	those coexist is
6691s	uh
6692s	unreasonable to uh to attempt and and
6696s	we're trying to hit as many as possible
6697s	and cast as wide and that as possible in
6700s	this in this type of category I think
6701s	we're gonna do a really good job of that
6703s	um
6705s	but there's there's gonna be
6707s	unfortunately and we're like it sucks
6709s	there's gonna be people who it's not
6710s	gonna it's not gonna resonate perfectly
6712s	with
6713s	um
6719s	and I think we we would rather have a
6721s	system that's
6723s	super awesome for 98 of people than a
6727s	system that's for everyone
6742s	and I hope we get there
6744s	I think we will I'm pretty confident in
6746s	it so
6748s	we'll see what happens
6770s	blue filters like yeah you don't want
6772s	anything here that was a good one though
6775s	uh will there ever be tradable crafting
6778s	materials be cool if some of those could
6780s	become a type of currency we don't plan
6782s	on having them become a type of currency
6784s	I mean it's it's possible but um no the
6787s	currency is gold
6791s	um
6792s	tradable crafting materials we're not
6794s	planning on at the moment it's possible
6795s	you know that sort of thing the the
6797s	initial version and unless in our in our
6800s	testing internally we get to the point
6801s	where we're like oh my God crafting
6803s	kills have to be tradable this is crazy
6804s	what were we thinking initial version
6806s	will not have craftable training
6807s	materials
6810s	tradable crafting materials
6815s	you can't do enough volume because the
6817s	favorite system to single-handedly wreck
6819s	the market basically yeah
6821s	basically
6841s	there is no way I survived this Arena
6850s	like zero chance
6862s	oh I just kicked my brand new fan
6864s	it's okay it's okay
6871s	my fan died the other day so
6874s	new fans
6883s	I love those Cheapo giant box hands
6893s	sorry if that was horribly loud in the
6894s	headset too
6899s	um
6901s	I think the auction house system is a
6903s	really good start for dealing with a lot
6904s	of the problems that Pue has such as
6907s	price fixing uh and the favorite system
6909s	as long as not too restricting sounds in
6911s	theory like a good way to restrict how
6912s	much someone can control certain parts
6913s	of the market yeah and and the actual
6916s	the the cost of everything on like the
6919s	favorite costs of everything and
6921s	um how all these restrictions line up
6922s	and all sort of stuff is is going to be
6926s	um
6927s	something that we pay very close
6929s	attention to and I I I have no doubt
6933s	that it will it'll it'll be it'll change
6935s	and be adjusted based on
6937s	um like what we see happening like uh
6939s	maybe there needs to be some sort of
6942s	favor sync uh for people who want to
6944s	interact with the with Merchant skill
6946s	but don't want to do very much actual
6949s	um stuff on the bazaar but still want to
6951s	get some some use out of their favor or
6952s	maybe there needs to be like a specific
6954s	favorite cap in case someone's like
6956s	hoarding and then like dumping it and
6958s	causing problems or uh I I don't know
6961s	these there's there's so many ways we
6963s	can adjust how
6967s	um we have we have a we designed the
6969s	system with a ton of little dials
6971s	um
6972s	in in the plans that we're going to need
6974s	to turn those dials a lot uh at least
6976s	initially to get things really solid and
6978s	having these things uh designed one way
6982s	it can sometimes fall apart at scale
6986s	um
6987s	and we'll do we'll do our best to like
6989s	we'll run simulators and we'll you know
6991s	like we'll set up a bunch of bots to
6993s	interact with this and and run
6994s	simulations and and have like different
6996s	Behavior patterns and and behavior
6998s	pattern ratios and and all these things
7000s	to like try and like Design This to make
7003s	it tightened up before we like release
7004s	it mass and and all sort of stuff but
7007s	like
7008s	we can't predict how people are gonna
7010s	interact with it exactly
7013s	you know there might be some
7015s	like way of interacting with it that we
7017s	didn't even consider that gets
7018s	discovered in the first 10 minutes and
7020s	everything falls apart we gotta change
7022s	stuff and we're not afraid to to make
7024s	those adjustments especially early on
7028s	um
7030s	to really make things feel nice and it's
7032s	going to come down to a lot of feedback
7033s	a lot of feedback I think and I have no
7036s	doubt we'll get a ton of feedback
7042s	all right exalcons stream is starting
7045s	real well it's already going but the uh
7047s	keynote address is starting real soon
7051s	uh can we get more gold from the NBCS
7053s	and we sell uniques please probably not
7055s	uh but maybe I'll think about it
7058s	similar to the complexity yet uh similar
7061s	to the complexity yet Simplicity of the
7063s	build system being elegant I hope that I
7066s	am confident that uh uh confident that
7069s	we'll be
7071s	I hope and oh I hope and incompet
7074s	that'll be weird with trade elegant gray
7076s	instead of black and white in the middle
7078s	yeah
7080s	yes uh definitely
7083s	um and and we'll be we'll be looking at
7085s	options for things like
7087s	um
7088s	like suggested pricing for things where
7091s	we can like look at the whole Market
7092s	automatically and just be like this is
7093s	how much this is worth or you know and
7095s	and
7096s	um
7099s	stuff like that
7100s	there's all sorts of tools that we can
7102s	give players to to interact with the
7104s	system better and and we want we we do
7106s	want that process to be if if someone is
7110s	um I'm like I don't really like the term
7112s	casual but like if if someone isn't
7115s	putting in a large amount of time into
7117s	the game into learning these systems
7119s	um and they just want to like uh toss
7121s	something up for sale
7124s	um or just like just snag something and
7125s	they don't want to do a ton of research
7126s	behind it we do want the tools that they
7128s	have available to be to be pretty good
7130s	at
7131s	um not not having them get ripped off
7133s	and
7135s	um you know like we obviously can't
7136s	prevent that from completely if someone
7138s	puts a pair of white boots up for a
7140s	billion gold and someone buys it great
7143s	that happened
7145s	um but like we do want to to give
7148s	players the tools they need to interact
7150s	with the system smoothly
7153s	um and confidently without doing a ton
7155s	of research but also the opportunity for
7157s	players who do want to put in that time
7158s	and effort to get a little bit of extra
7160s	value out of it probably and like
7163s	um I think experienced players will
7164s	thrive in the Inc system like that
7181s	uh as of right now is the favorite cost
7183s	associated with the gold price of an
7185s	item in the bizarre or is it based on
7186s	something else something else it's not
7187s	based on the gold price of the item
7190s	um
7192s	that that might be something we tie it
7194s	to if we find that something that needs
7196s	to happen but no it is
7198s	um
7199s	based on the item type
7202s	right now So like
7205s	um
7205s	legendary items cost more favor to sell
7208s	than a a rare item for example
7216s	oh yeah it's happening uh uh oh no I
7219s	actually portaled out okay that's great
7224s	thanks for coming by everyone uh I I had
7228s	a great stream I'm running out of here
7229s	real fast uh bye uh I had a great time I
7233s	hope you too if I missed your question
7234s	I'm sorry please head over to Discord
7236s	forms I'll answer it there uh lots of
7238s	people will be here same time same place
7239s	next week have a great time see you
7241s	later bye

Is there a way to activate MTX from the character selection screen ?

Update to my post from yesterday where I accidentally ascended a Wrongwarp. Found my first egg ever at level 72ish, and got 2LP on the accidental Wrongwarp :D

Path of Exile 2 just stole Last Epoch monolith system
