| 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 |
