76s	or I'll just say this again later too
83s	hope everyone's having fun doing good
85s	today I expect to be a little light
87s	today because there might be something
88s	else happening in the uh in the genre
95s	I still haven't tried it yet
96s	but I want to
98s	I will we'll see see what happens
104s	might take a little bit of things things
105s	are starting to the the frenzy of uh
108s	multiple release has calmed down a bit
110s	so we're a little less in the
113s	every second
115s	gotta be going what's going on here the
117s	water's not loaded
119s	interesting
123s	that's a cool I don't know before
128s	come on just just just just you know
130s	don't be alive anymore
135s	how's everybody doing
137s	what a really good week I've had like a
139s	strangely good week it's been really
141s	nice
144s	nothing really major I guess nothing
146s	like stand out great has happened but
148s	it's just been like a really solid week
157s	we are going through potty training with
158s	the kid right now and it's
160s	that's not been fun
168s	hey Dario 23 months oh we're coming up
172s	hot on that two-year mark thank you very
174s	much
177s	those bees
181s	he's gonna do like a b anything in a
183s	while
183s	there's those big influx of people and
185s	and uh
188s	I guess we'll have to at some point
191s	revive the thing that this little
194s	sticker is from right there
196s	if you if you've never seen what that is
198s	oh it's kind of buried there's
200s	I bought a
203s	B Halloween outfit for a five-year-old
206s	and wore it on stream
209s	as a
211s	neck collar instead of a skirt
216s	because my neck is the size of a small
219s	person's waist
221s	that Claymore could be actually really
222s	good
232s	oh maybe
235s	it's funny like I can already as we're
237s	getting like further into the campaign I
238s	can already start to feel this build
240s	like slowing down where I'm like that's
242s	gonna be problematic in a little bit I
244s	can feel
250s	all right where are we going with this I
252s	think we're coming down here
256s	yeah we're just getting that leech right
258s	away
259s	yeah if you have a question please don't
261s	forget to put at last debug even the
262s	question I haven't seen any yet but I
264s	assume there's some questions in here so
265s	let's see if I can read some
269s	uh do you have any estimate on when the
272s	next bug fixes may come out uh I do not
275s	know when the next bug fixes are coming
276s	out I know there's sort of always uh
279s	so right now at least there's always a
281s	hot fix that's in
284s	um
285s	in in the pipe to go and uh so once once
289s	that gets approved I'm sure it'll be
290s	coming out with more stuff
293s	I know there were some people that were
294s	really hoping to um
296s	to get one out today but I don't think
298s	it's gonna happen
301s	you know we're not actually using
302s	Shadows
310s	yeah I got I gotta do something for my
311s	damage we're like zdps right now not not
314s	okay
319s	um can you add a dog to the Imperial
321s	heroin named mediumists
324s	as the link between Maximus and Minimus
325s	I mean I wouldn't I'd be lying if I said
327s	this is the first time I've heard that
328s	suggestion
332s	I've not had a chance to play D4 beta
335s	yet
336s	um I have I've gotten as far as watching
340s	most of the opening cut scene
345s	and it may have crashed in the middle of
347s	that
350s	which to to be fair
353s	um
354s	the the Lassie Puck editor was running
356s	in the background and last Epoch was
358s	running in the background as well
362s	um
363s	it's probably more my fault than
365s	anything else
373s	up
384s	a hill I'm coming into the game and I
386s	work on this freaking form build with
388s	buying someone's freaking Scorpion and
389s	healing totems all these kind of scale
391s	with Attunement yes lots of Druid stuff
393s	skills in achievement
395s	um but I want to pursue poison chants
398s	does a human do anything for this build
400s	or should I only scale poison also does
402s	minion melee or spell damage does
404s	anything for me or does it only damage
407s	over time so
408s	um
409s	I'm sure you can get this answer in the
411s	text format and one of our uh like
413s	forums or Discord or something a lot
415s	better but generally speaking in go over
416s	roughly what affects what so if if
418s	you're trying to give
422s	it okay assistant says 21 this is 33
425s	poison resistance and 21 minion poison
428s	resistance
429s	um so what's going on here is the all
431s	the stats that say can do this oh this
436s	that's out
439s	it's frustrating
441s	um all the stats that say minion apply
444s	the stats to your minions all the stats
446s	that don't say minion don't apply those
448s	sense to me I know it might be like seem
450s	kind of obvious or whatever or or
452s	like like why does it need saying but it
454s	is something that just needs to be
456s	clarified
456s	and
459s	um the stats all work the same on
461s	players and minions except for
463s	attributes attributes don't actually get
465s	transferred to the minions
466s	um they're effects do but yeah so the
470s	um
471s	if a stats if they say a minion is
473s	dealing poison damage
476s	um
478s	increased minion poison damage increased
480s	minion damage and increased minion
483s	damage over time all will help that
486s	because they all apply to poison damage
488s	on your minion
491s	um
492s	as far as attributes go
496s	um the abilities that you're using if
498s	you hold alt on the tooltips it'll tell
501s	you what the attributes do for that
503s	minion most minions it helps with health
506s	and damage
507s	um so it's a good example here is
509s	um ballista which is a minion has
511s	dexterity scaling
513s	um and level scaling it also means to
515s	level scaling this this the scaling
516s	you're seeing right here is extremely
518s	consistent across almost every minion
522s	um it's not quite the same on all of
523s	them but most of you'll see this so like
525s	the ones the means you're talking about
527s	um will probably have Attunement scaling
530s	four percent per point for increased
531s	damage one percent for Point increases
533s	uh the attack speed might be different
535s	actually
537s	uh so that might be something different
538s	there but it'll say what it is and then
539s	level ceiling Health per level
542s	so tune will help with your minions
545s	regardless of what type of damage
546s	they're doing because it's just
547s	increased damage so all of their damage
549s	is increased
565s	I think I want to get rid of ballista
567s	and put points into uh smoke bomb so I
570s	can start getting some of the damage
571s	buff stuff out of it
573s	that might help speed some stuff up here
578s	we've got that
583s	uh next question
586s	hey Mike when a skill converts all
588s	sources from one damage type to another
590s	is that supposed to be reflected on the
592s	character sheet no
594s	are you guys working on a bug probably
597s	uh please take bug reports to the forums
601s	um
603s	yes we are working on that bug
608s	uh hey Mike when skill converts also oh
610s	yeah sorry twice
614s	sort of my fire summoned lately and my
617s	means regen shows zero all the time is
620s	that a bug or do I just understand the
621s	information in the
623s	minion tab you might be misunderstanding
625s	the minion tab
626s	um
627s	this shows
629s	um
630s	sources of increased minion Health
632s	regeneration that are generic so if you
635s	have say you had a stat and said like
636s	increase
638s	ranged Minion or bow minion
642s	um
644s	health regen that wouldn't be displayed
646s	there or if you had
647s	um
648s	increased Companion health regen
651s	while that would apply to most of your
653s	minions because on primeless most
654s	minions are companions
656s	um it wouldn't be counted in that tab so
658s	it only shows exactly what that tab
661s	would reflect
663s	um likewise if you had like plus five
665s	minion health regen not increase but
667s	just plus five flat it wouldn't show up
670s	there because it's showing increased not
673s	the total amount
686s	easy too easy item link key will be in
689s	this month I don't think so
691s	um Something's Gonna Be A major content
693s	patch
694s	um this month and I think it's waiting
695s	to the next major content patch so
697s	hold on that's only what seven days left
699s	of the month
706s	I think that's gonna be a 0.91 feature
711s	it was very close to being ready
713s	um
715s	yeah I just didn't quite get in
720s	I did see a version especially because I
722s	did see a version of it working
724s	um
725s	but there was some changes to the the
726s	chat system that caused that version to
728s	break unfortunately
730s	oh yeah I don't know this is why I was
733s	holding off on it before because I knew
734s	I was just getting the specialization
735s	slot really soon so
738s	that makes sense we're gonna do smoke
739s	bomb
741s	um I think this one's slow stacked yeah
742s	we went slow
744s	you do a duration area
748s	yeah we went down here don't we cleanse
750s	ailments yeah this is what we want
753s	we want to cleanse those ailments
759s	back that we won
760s	we are doing some
762s	silver shred stuff so that's gonna be
764s	quite useful we don't care about our
765s	allies we have no friends
772s	uh yes that looks great
781s	armor shred that's what else we're going
783s	this way next
784s	yeah
786s	cool
793s	I can't remember exactly where stuff is
794s	on the trees
797s	yeah I'm like I know what is here I
800s	don't know where it is or what it's
802s	called
803s	someone's just looking at it in a giant
805s	list
807s	yeah let's let's get rid of some stuff
809s	okay this is
812s	pretty sweet
815s	uh no not we're looking for
824s	sword let's grab that one just in case
826s	we want it later
831s	hello mate I had to reinstall the game
833s	after the trade changes
836s	I had to reinstall the game after church
838s	we haven't put any trade changes in so
840s	I'm not sure when
843s	when we get the trade in the game can
845s	you elaborate more oh I see what's
847s	happening here okay so
848s	um you're asking
850s	if you will have to reinstall the game
852s	after the trade changes I mean so the
854s	trade the the item faction system will
856s	come with a large patch
861s	um it will not be happening before
866s	a large patch
868s	um
871s	it will not be the item faction system
873s	as a whole will not be
875s	coming like immediately or anything this
878s	this idea was something that we
880s	first discussed like a week before that
883s	post went out
885s	um and since that happened like 0.9
887s	released and we've been pot fixing it
889s	like crazy so like we haven't started on
890s	that infection system at all yet
893s	um
895s	there's still lots of work to do there
903s	I hope that answers your question
905s	I'm not quite sure
907s	if you have a question please don't
908s	forget to put the outlasty about game in
910s	the question uh any plans to add toggle
912s	for controller players to allow skills
914s	to not Auto Target
916s	um I I don't know maybe if you want that
917s	please go leave a suggestion on our
918s	forums
921s	where we go this way
924s	as you know there's no accuracy rating
926s	in the game so it means you can attack
928s	your attack can't miss or be dodged
930s	right now I mean there is
932s	um dodging is a mechanic so there's no
934s	Miss but there is Dodge so someone can
938s	um can dodge an attack and in the
941s	monolith you can get monster mods where
943s	they get Dodge so it can be dodged there
947s	and some individual enemies can have
949s	Dodge but it's very rare
952s	all right I have another question
954s	regarding defenses uh I tried today to
957s	make the arena on level 50 difficulty
960s	with my level 73 necro 1.5 K live 30
963s	armor full resin bone armor working and
966s	I get insta killed by the boss on 150
969s	more damage what am I doing wrong I mean
972s	um the that 150 more modifier is pretty
975s	huge
977s	um
979s	there was likely one that was a lot less
981s	than 150 maybe pick the other one first
984s	um there's other defensive layers that
986s	you may want to look into crit avoidance
989s	um glancing blow I got a necklace not
991s	much glancing blow
993s	um Ward so you can look into war
995s	Generation
997s	Um
998s	use minions more as uh like defensive
1001s	elements like like use it as meat
1004s	Shields
1007s	um
1010s	fun fact in the arena there's uh the
1012s	boss fights that happen
1014s	um the Rogue will use if you get the
1016s	Rogue at the end it'll use
1018s	um decoy
1020s	and while it doesn't Force the player to
1025s	uh to Target the uh the decoy object
1029s	um if you manage to kill
1031s	the decoy before it expires it will drop
1034s	a whole bunch of crafting materials
1038s	um
1039s	so there's like a reason to attack it
1042s	um
1043s	and so it does it does kind of work as a
1046s	decoy
1047s	for the opponent I I just I really think
1050s	that's neat this thing's really cool
1062s	everyone here and here
1065s	so slow
1071s	yeah good vulnerability let's go
1075s	um that's actually sorry that's a
1076s	another really useful thing I'm talking
1078s	about defenses sometimes you can use
1080s	offensive abilities as defensive players
1082s	as well so Frailty is a really good
1084s	example of this
1086s	um Frailty reduces the damage dealt by
1088s	six percent multiplicative with other
1089s	modifiers uh last four seconds
1092s	um sex up three times so you can get
1095s	um
1096s	this is a little misleading because it
1098s	has a specific time that Frailty
1100s	information is just generic so if you
1102s	get Frailty applications on like a
1103s	weapon for example so this like I have a
1105s	chance to supply Frailty on my weapon so
1108s	the things that I'm attacking pretty
1109s	quickly are dealing pretty significantly
1111s	less damage to me because of that so
1112s	that that might be a good option as well
1113s	to um
1115s	increase your survivability you can get
1117s	minion Frailty applications so if you're
1119s	playing um on an act like you can uh
1124s	I think you said accolade
1126s	I I may just like made that up
1128s	oh necro yeah necro yeah so yeah you can
1130s	have your minions apply for lt2
1134s	which is really good
1140s	smoke bomb failed smoke bomb again
1143s	didn't fail nice
1149s	yeah like those dustrad Stacks oh yeah
1157s	greetings from Brazil hello
1159s	it's probably gorgeous down there right
1161s	now
1162s	in general are you happy with the
1164s	current state of throwing builds that's
1166s	kind of strange because weapons have
1168s	very little impact on throwing Builds on
1170s	bikes weapons do have very little impact
1172s	on throwing bikes
1174s	sorry
1176s	um yeah I mean I get this question a lot
1178s	um
1179s	it's it's
1181s	sort of that like
1183s	half feedback aspect to it
1186s	um the
1188s	I think the important thing to note with
1190s	a throwing build
1195s	yeah let's just put
1196s	it on here
1198s	um actually so like shurikens
1201s	thematically there are like like this
1205s	this is an alternate weapon this is a
1207s	secondary maybe that second this is an
1209s	alternate weapon that the Rogue has
1210s	access to this is
1212s	um sort of drawing to that fantasy of
1214s	like the right tool for the right job
1217s	um and and these shurikens are not your
1220s	weapon
1223s	excuse me a little lingering cough from
1225s	that long cold ahead
1229s	drink lots of water boys and girls
1232s	um so this is it's it's not you're not
1235s	throwing your weapon right and this is
1237s	true for for basically all I mean
1239s	there's kind of a thematics um weapon
1241s	throwing that happens with javelin but
1243s	let's ignore that for a second
1245s	because this is mostly what people are
1246s	talking about when they ask questions
1247s	like this is you're not throwing your
1249s	weapon you're throwing uh like a
1251s	secondary weapon an alternate weapon
1252s	something else that you have in your
1254s	Arsenal
1256s	um and so in order to to like balance
1260s	this because it's not your weapon like
1263s	balance it the the thematics and the
1265s	mechanics of it together
1267s	um we we try to to keep uh to keep those
1271s	Concepts separate a little bit so the
1272s	things like what do you equip that helps
1274s	you throw things better right like maybe
1276s	you've got more
1278s	um things you can carry so you're like
1280s	your your belt has like utilities and
1282s	things like that I think belts have
1283s	throwing stuff on them and may not
1284s	anymore but like gloves rings
1288s	they're all like associated with your
1290s	hands and you're throwing things with
1291s	them and that's that's kind of why
1293s	that's where the primary throwing stats
1295s	are found on rings and gloves
1298s	um and we also balance the
1301s	throwing abilities base damage
1304s	from
1306s	nice mod there but a really cool thing
1308s	that's that's why you bounce the base
1310s	damage as though knowing you're not
1312s	gonna be getting flat damage from your
1314s	weapons
1317s	foreign
1326s	answering the question yes I'm very
1329s	happy
1336s	all right hey first off want to say I
1338s	love the game thank you just said one
1340s	question what is I'm trying to die here
1343s	what is the devs philosophy on one
1346s	button build I find I'm playing a piano
1348s	a lot of this game and as a person whose
1350s	hands hurt a lot because I'm old uh it
1353s	always confused me why devs are against
1354s	one skill does all philosophy I don't
1356s	mind hitting a bunch of buttons for
1358s	bosses just not 24 7.
1360s	um I
1364s	uh
1367s	uh I don't know provide as many builds
1369s	as possible that are good to use a bunch
1370s	of buttons
1372s	um
1373s	that definitely doesn't mean that there
1375s	are no
1376s	primarily one button builds in the game
1379s	um I think that's especially clear with
1381s	like war path is like the poster child
1384s	for one button builds you know
1387s	let's get to the sub to see thanks bud
1392s	Steve is oh you could say he's he's part
1396s	of the team
1398s	yes very much so
1400s	uh
1402s	that's that's funny I appreciate it
1404s	thank you
1406s	uh what was I saying
1411s	uh uh one button Bill false yeah yeah
1415s	um
1415s	I I think there's this
1418s	we do generally steer things towards
1420s	having multiple things to do
1423s	and I think
1425s	generally one button builds are often
1429s	useful in a channeling situation
1433s	um that's where they show up the most
1436s	Warpath lends itself so well to that
1438s	because it's also a mobile one-man thing
1442s	um
1444s	well I I think we kind of lean more
1446s	towards the lack of one button builds as
1449s	being a like a
1452s	a really common thing just as it's it's
1455s	I guess the gameplay that we find more
1457s	interesting ourselves
1458s	um
1465s	I will say that we like
1469s	it's it's hard it's not something that
1471s	we're like all right how do we don't
1472s	ever sit down and say how do we work
1473s	more buttons into this build or anything
1475s	like that
1478s	um
1481s	yeah
1487s	I hope that answered it
1492s	hello Mike uh did you guys expect the
1494s	amount of people still playing every day
1496s	by now even with a huge amount of RPG
1498s	stuff coming out this close together
1500s	really happy for Ellie giving the
1502s	attention and serves yeah I mean we were
1503s	we were definitely hoping that we would
1505s	still have a significant number of
1508s	people I actually don't look at the
1509s	numbers that often I try and avoid them
1511s	as much as possible
1512s	um
1513s	I I try to you know just like
1516s	keep making the game keep having fun
1518s	with it
1520s	um I try and I try and just ignore the
1522s	numbers as much as possible I do I do
1523s	see them every once in a while
1525s	um and certain someone I'll message me
1527s	like like a friend we'll be like don't
1530s	you work on this game and I'm like yes I
1531s	have been talking about it for five
1533s	years now thank you
1535s	um and like like weird things like that
1538s	have happened recently which is which is
1539s	really cool
1541s	um so yeah it's it's been fantastic it's
1544s	been fantastic I'm thrilled that we're
1546s	like delfor beta started today or open
1549s	Beta started today
1551s	I'm thrilled that we're still still
1553s	seeing lots of people playing like
1554s	there's still there's over 100 people
1555s	here right now which I did not expect I
1557s	thought given what's happening today
1558s	that today's stream would be like a
1560s	20-person stream but thanks for coming
1561s	everybody glad to have you here
1564s	and I know I'm a little bit behind on
1566s	questions and I apologize
1571s	um so I'll try and get the next one
1572s	will there be training 1.0 there will be
1574s	the item faction we okay our current
1577s	goal is to have the item faction system
1580s	um as soon as possible okay I don't know
1583s	when that's gonna line up exactly with
1586s	patches and everything like that
1588s	um but yes item faction system is like
1591s	one of our higher priority items of new
1595s	features to add we know it's something
1596s	that a lot of people want we know it's a
1598s	very anticipated feature
1600s	um there's still a lot to do with it and
1602s	the reason I'm being kind of vague on
1604s	timelines is because I don't know if
1605s	we're gonna run into problems at any
1607s	stage of it or not so if everything goes
1609s	well yeah it'll probably be like we're
1611s	we're getting on it pretty quick here
1614s	um but the
1616s	fact that I was not that far into it yet
1618s	means I don't want to make predictions I
1620s	can't back up
1623s	uh it depends on in the clock back to
1625s	the mini map absolutely I don't know
1626s	where it's gone I think it's one of
1628s	those things where there's a bug that
1629s	removed it and we've just had so many
1631s	more important bugs to deal with
1633s	um that it hasn't gotten put on the the
1635s	priority list yet you know
1637s	uh but yes it's coming back
1640s	oh
1642s	in the jet video you have a shaman using
1645s	everhammer with lightning earthquake
1648s	which looks awesome however there's no
1650s	reason to use lightning EQ with Amelia
1653s	weapons because it gets switched to
1654s	spell uh can be something similar to
1656s	Javelin to transfer some of the melee to
1658s	spell damage uh maybe
1662s	um I I really like the suggestions I get
1665s	on stream it's really cool to like hear
1666s	people's thoughts on everything like
1667s	that I get so many suggestions every day
1671s	that I don't write them down and I do
1673s	not remember them so if you really want
1675s	to get your suggestions listened to and
1677s	possibly add to the game please put them
1679s	on the forums on the Discord
1681s	um get get other people talking about
1683s	them
1684s	um you know like like all that sort of
1685s	stuff is really it's really good for
1686s	getting them noticed
1689s	but send them directly to me terrible
1691s	way to get them noticed I'll read them
1694s	and enjoy them and uh 10 seconds later
1696s	they're gone
1700s	but thank you oh uh Board of Soul
1703s	welcome welcome everyone from that
1705s	stream glad to have you with us let's go
1708s	over a quick recap we do stream for
1709s	charity if you have a question for me
1710s	put out last game of the question I'll
1712s	be happy to answer just as quick as I
1713s	can
1715s	where's the next one what's your
1716s	favorite class and build I'm I'm a big
1718s	Rogue fanboy
1724s	um I think my favorite build so far has
1727s	been
1729s	um it's so hard
1734s	I really I know I said big Rogue Fanboy
1736s	I've really enjoyed detonating uh
1739s	zombies
1740s	uh that that's like my favorite thing to
1742s	do
1743s	um
1746s	volatile zombies not Disney zombies
1749s	volatile zombies
1753s	um I think that's my favorite build
1754s	recently
1755s	but uh
1757s	generally I I defer to Marksman would be
1760s	my default if I'm like what do I play
1761s	I'll play Marksman
1774s	I was seeing some some uh some stuff
1777s	some posts recently about uh like
1779s	respecting skills while you're leveling
1781s	and everything like that and
1782s	um and the cost being too high while
1784s	you're leveling and stuff and I just I I
1786s	think that there might be a piece
1787s	missing from the uh information we're
1790s	being presented here and it's kind of
1791s	right here is that
1793s	um
1794s	The Experience game that it has is super
1797s	duper accelerated so like I got this at
1800s	the start of the stream I I specialize
1802s	this right at the very start of the top
1803s	of the stream it's been it's been half
1805s	an hour and I've been going pretty slow
1807s	um but we're still like we're still
1809s	below 50 we're still in the leveling
1811s	process I haven't even got a single
1813s	level up since yeah this unlocked at the
1815s	start of this bar and this is so much
1816s	experience I've got and it started at
1819s	six I think it'll tell us right here
1821s	uh
1822s	minimum seven okay so it started at
1824s	seven
1826s	um and I've already got a bunch of I've
1829s	already got three level UPS from it
1832s	um
1832s	and like
1834s	the others haven't moved hardly at all
1836s	you know
1838s	um so they do they do catch up quite
1840s	quickly
1843s	so if you are planning a respect it's
1845s	it's not as devastating while you're
1847s	leveling as it might appear
1857s	oh disappear
1863s	we do want to swap the list out for
1864s	something because it's just useless
1866s	they're like I tickled you to death
1880s	a little bit closer there we go all
1882s	right next question scroll scroll scroll
1885s	that's a big gap I assume there's a
1886s	bunch of questions there that just
1887s	aren't tagged with me if you have a
1888s	question please put out let's see if a
1889s	game there
1892s	is there ways to make corruption uh in
1896s	mono's more important
1898s	um I mean it it does do a lot of stuff
1900s	but uh
1902s	there's there's there's no like thing
1904s	you can do in game to change the effect
1906s	it has
1907s	that's what you're wondering
1911s	hey yo Mike happy Friday happy Friday to
1913s	YouTube If a node States when you kill
1916s	an enemy X happens does it count uh
1919s	minion slash totem kills as you no you
1921s	are you you are not your minions
1925s	only you are you
1935s	uh any chance we might get a sound
1938s	redesign of the bow sounds with flirty
1940s	multi-shot or like to build the sound
1942s	really annoys me I mean any chance yes
1946s	um if you want to leave feedback for it
1948s	and get the suggestion in please go to
1950s	the forums
1956s	uh when should we expect an auction
1959s	house um so the bazaar which is very
1961s	similar to an auction house
1963s	um is something that we're working on
1965s	it's part of the item faction system
1967s	um you can find more information about
1968s	the item faction system oh my gosh that
1970s	was a lot of damage Don't Die Mike
1973s	um you can find more information about
1974s	the item faction system on our website
1976s	on our forums there was a recent uh Dev
1979s	blog that covered uh the details of what
1981s	that's going to look like
1983s	um we don't have a specific timeline for
1985s	it yet as I was saying earlier this is a
1988s	extremely new feature
1989s	concept right now
1992s	um and we're just getting going on that
1993s	post 0.9 launch
1997s	um I do not have an ETA when it will be
1999s	in
2001s	um it will not be in i i unless
2004s	something dramatic happens we're we're
2007s	not aiming for it to be in the next
2008s	patch the next major patch even
2015s	this is
2016s	we're at the stage of
2018s	the document we released on the forums
2021s	is all the work that's been done on it
2023s	like that document being created
2031s	we just knew we just knew we had to get
2033s	something out on the topic as soon as
2035s	possible
2037s	it was a pretty hot topic and there was
2038s	a lot of misinformation going around
2039s	about the systems that we were planning
2042s	um and a lot of very wrong assumptions
2045s	um so like we have to get some sort of
2047s	communication out to write this to to
2049s	make it clear what's actually going to
2051s	happen
2052s	um
2053s	and uh
2055s	yeah so we as soon as we had something
2058s	that we were confident about going
2060s	forward we're like release it tell
2062s	everyone about it go go
2067s	but yeah that is still a
2070s	extremely early process
2072s	development feature
2079s	we are shredding that armor it's like it
2081s	don't even exist
2087s	uh
2091s	you want to be a totem I mean
2094s	um play a maid play sorcerer uh take
2097s	Arcane ascendance and uh your totem
2099s	congrats
2108s	oh come on
2113s	smoke bomb we just specialize in tons of
2114s	cool stuff smoke bomb does right now
2120s	tons of armor Shred
2124s	these things are just zapping everywhere
2126s	come on
2137s	I am the Knight
2140s	there we go
2143s	it's hanging out my smoke bomb
2150s	Flair shark of the ox
2154s	you had some funny names that are
2156s	generated
2160s	he wants to talk about how many
2161s	tentacles lagon has
2163s	just popping up everywhere
2165s	hey Aaron how's it going
2168s	uh recently we got a discussion coming
2170s	up the community related to the lack of
2171s	consistency because of some sub skills
2173s	receiving or not the bonus of some nodes
2175s	in the skill trees especially damaged
2178s	ones so what should we expect for the
2180s	future episode skills still remain how
2182s	they are now with some benefiting from
2184s	the rest of the skill tree and others
2186s	not or can we expect to see changes to
2188s	make them more consistent across all
2189s	skills okay so I have a gigantic
2191s	response to this that I posted I'm just
2193s	gonna find a link to it and post that
2199s	find this
2207s	this has already been posted it's
2208s	already public and everything but I'm
2209s	just gonna
2210s	slap it in jet
2213s	um so the tldr of it is there are only
2215s	at there is a very clear rule in place
2218s	that we don't tell you ever but like
2220s	when I say clear like a well-defined
2223s	rule there's a well-defined rule that we
2224s	have in place oh uh kentarok
2228s	kids rock welcome back thank you for
2230s	four months of resub glad to have you
2232s	here cheers see you sir
2234s	um so there's there's a there's a
2236s	distinct
2239s	um
2241s	rule uh include to find a rule that we
2244s	have clearly defined to ourselves
2247s	um that has not been communicated well
2248s	which defines what will be passed on and
2250s	what won't be passed on
2255s	infusion came from when I
2258s	answer the question wrong on the
2259s	acidation which does happen because I'm
2262s	unbelievably far from perfect and
2267s	um
2268s	the uh so here's here's the here's where
2273s	the rules work
2274s	um
2275s	if if the
2278s	ability being triggered is an ability
2281s	that shows up in this screen here it
2283s	will not receive
2286s	um the stuff from the tree
2288s	okay it will just get used as though you
2291s	had used the ability
2293s	um and it'll use its own tree if you
2295s	don't have anything in its own tree it's
2297s	just a basic version of the skill
2299s	the exception to this there's there's
2301s	three exceptions I'm going to talk about
2302s	here the the exceptions to this first
2304s	rule is Black Hole uh and using the
2308s	meteor skill
2309s	so
2310s	um the media used from black hole is a
2312s	generic meteor let's just call it Comet
2314s	for now instead okay so black hole using
2316s	comet is not the same as easy media so
2319s	it's that's that's an exception there
2322s	um
2327s	the the second rule is that any
2331s	condition any any modifiers which are
2334s	conditional on the opponent's status so
2338s	right now you see like I have ignite on
2340s	this target whoa
2342s	I'm out of potions this is bad I'm gonna
2344s	die
2345s	yep I'm gonna die uh
2353s	uh um okay so if you have something
2354s	that's conditional on the status of your
2356s	opponent
2358s	um for example like more damage to
2360s	ignited enemies so if it's a flurry
2362s	deals more damage yeah okay
2364s	um it says flooring deals more damage to
2365s	ignited enemies
2367s	um and flurry was procking uh energy
2369s	wave
2372s	energy drink signature connect first
2375s	yeah connect first
2376s	um
2380s	the code version of this is called
2382s	Energy wave not kinetic burst anyways
2384s	um
2386s	so if there's something on here that
2388s	says like more damage to ignited enemies
2390s	because that is checking the condition
2392s	of the opponent's status so saying
2396s	because the enemy is ignited it's gonna
2398s	do more damage
2399s	um that does not get passed on to sub
2401s	skills so connect first would not get uh
2404s	the damage Boost from more damage to
2406s	ignited enemies only flurry would get
2408s	that
2410s	um if it said flurry does more damage
2414s	while you are at High Health
2416s	conditional on your own status or
2419s	um more damage per shadow that exists
2422s	conditional on your own status the
2424s	number of Shadows that you have
2425s	um those do get passed on
2428s	um so conditionals based on your
2430s	opponent's status do not get passed on
2432s	to sub skills
2434s	um the two example uh the two exceptions
2436s	for this
2438s	hey
2440s	look at that I was I was talking about
2442s	making the build with this this is great
2444s	um
2446s	I can't do on this character though but
2447s	yeah uh the the exceptions to this are
2451s	uh uh
2454s	crap it's not post static orb and
2456s	javelin
2457s	the javelin the the split the rain where
2460s	it comes down it splits out like Divine
2461s	Fury uh style that is that does inherit
2466s	uh
2467s	um enemy conditional stats and
2471s	uh static orb does one of them as well
2473s	it's in that link I just posted a little
2474s	while ago the Reddit link
2477s	um so so those are that's the rules and
2479s	the exceptions as they are right now now
2481s	the question I think you're asking is
2482s	how's it going to change going forward
2484s	what is it gonna change going forward
2486s	because you don't like this fair enough
2487s	I think it's uh probably frustrating to
2490s	deal with too and
2492s	um I ideally there would be a hard fast
2495s	systematic rule that would enforce this
2497s	the reason it's like this is um every
2501s	time we do a conditional an enemy Target
2503s	conditional stat we have to
2506s	um write specific code for that specific
2508s	skill in that specific condition
2511s	um
2512s	and if it's being anything that's being
2515s	passed on to a sub skill needs to go
2517s	into each skill gets something called a
2518s	mutator and it changes how that skill
2520s	works when you use it based on what
2522s	nodes you have selected
2524s	and
2526s	um
2527s	lots of sub skills don't have mutators
2529s	so for example here let's use connectors
2530s	again connect first does not have a
2533s	mutator that changes it because there's
2534s	nothing that affects it that needs to be
2537s	manually adjusted for that ability
2539s	um if there was I don't know if there is
2542s	a target conditional thing in Florida I
2543s	don't think there is
2545s	um
2550s	yeah it is
2552s	regardless
2553s	um if we wanted to we'd have to make a
2555s	mutator attach it to this to flurry when
2557s	it gets used so flurry would be able to
2559s	modify kinetic Burst when flurry uses
2562s	kinetic burst
2565s	um which we can do and which is why uh
2568s	the the two exceptions that I mentioned
2571s	that's what they do they when we were
2573s	making them we manually went in and
2575s	adjusted those
2576s	um
2577s	getting some cool stuff here
2587s	and uh so what we want to do I don't
2590s	know how we're going to do this yet
2591s	we're sort of we need to figure out how
2593s	we're going to do this we need to have
2594s	some sort of systematic uh way of
2598s	applying this type of effect that
2601s	doesn't rely on us manually adjusting
2603s	each skill
2605s	um each skill mutator and passing along
2607s	that stat to each sub skill as we're
2609s	casting
2613s	um
2614s	do I know how to do that or when we're
2616s	gonna do that no
2618s	do I know exactly what it's going to
2619s	look like functionality wise once we do
2620s	it no I'm sorry
2623s	um
2625s	you know but uh
2628s	it's on the radar and we'll work on it
2634s	I do love this model
2637s	like got some serious doc Hawk Vibes no
2640s	let me talk to lagon
2643s	my death will be swift your death will
2645s	be actually my death might be Swift
2651s	Eep
2654s	I you chose this I know I did didn't I
2657s	crap
2662s	lost
2672s	I am losing my patience
2675s	you're losing your patience come on
2678s	I just got here
2685s	yes that's true I am a fool
2694s	good timing Mike
2704s	that triggered two smoke bomb sounds
2723s	oh
2725s	losing my patience
2730s	see the question about doing this we'll
2732s	just die won't I
2738s	oh
2741s	yes I tried I tried to look at chat to
2744s	find another question to talk about and
2746s	uh didn't go so well
2748s	currently there are only two base weapon
2750s	types for generic minion damage they're
2752s	both pretty early uh early game bases
2755s	any plans to create higher level bases
2757s	for different archetypes I mean we're
2760s	frequently adding in
2762s	um
2763s	more stuff so maybe I don't think
2765s	there's any specific plans for it now if
2766s	you would like to get that suggestion
2768s	noted and possibly up to the game please
2770s	head arm to reforms uh leave it there
2777s	hi first of all congratulations to the
2780s	game thank you I would like to know if
2781s	you will do something about memory leak
2783s	think uh there is
2785s	um
2787s	there is something that like
2790s	I know people have been reporting that
2791s	they've been seeing
2793s	um I don't know if we have like full
2795s	detailed info on it yet to be able to
2796s	fix it or not
2798s	um I think someone is attempting to
2799s	recreate it right now consistently
2803s	um
2804s	to try and find out how to fix it
2807s	llama
2813s	probably kill these things before going
2814s	up there
2816s	uh will there be a console release Xbox
2818s	PlayStation we do hope to eventually
2820s	have a console release
2823s	um it is not going to be available at
2826s	1.0 I can say that for certain
2829s	um if we do a console release uh we will
2832s	start investigating that after 1.0 is
2834s	released and settled down we do not have
2837s	any sort of relationship with Microsoft
2838s	or Sony
2840s	um
2841s	or Nintendo for that matter
2843s	um to get a console release going
2846s	um we don't have any Dev kits we don't
2847s	have any we've never done any like test
2849s	builds or anything like that
2851s	um
2853s	oh you know what I should have done my
2855s	lightning res is seven percent
2858s	okay what are the chances I can I can
2860s	craft
2861s	on one of these while this is happening
2864s	and get a little bit of resistance on
2866s	there
2867s	I'm gonna say really bad
2870s	but is it worth a shot because it's
2871s	funny yes
2875s	none of these are
2878s	gosh
2882s	I need lightning red so bad
2886s	those lightning resin charm there health
2889s	virus
2895s	okay
2897s	like more than doubled our lightning
2899s	resistance let's go
2913s	you're still eating stuff
2926s	okay I'm gonna try and get another
2927s	question while I'm doing this
2930s	hey will there be any storytelling
2932s	cutscenes in the game oh yeah definitely
2935s	um we are a lot of that stuff's gonna
2937s	come in 1.0
2939s	um we are working on
2941s	um
2942s	uh on on some cutscenes we'll be seeing
2945s	we're also revamping the opening cut
2946s	scenes
2947s	um because right now they're all
2948s	character based and they kind of give
2950s	you like a little hint into the world
2951s	but none of them really talk about like
2954s	what's happening why are you like why is
2956s	why do you have to do this thing
2959s	um
2961s	and uh we're all kind of revamping the
2963s	start of the game as a whole but yeah
2964s	there's
2965s	um there are changes to an improvements
2969s	coming to story presentation as we've
2971s	seen already 0.9 had a whole bunch of
2973s	those
2974s	um
2976s	and and future patches will have even
2977s	more
2981s	okay when we die here in this fight
2983s	which we're gonna die in a second
2986s	I'm gonna actually go fix my gear and
2988s	put some uh
2989s	some proper lightning resistance on
2991s	stuff
2998s	the harm you are doing
3010s	I chose this
3012s	yep and it was a mistake
3023s	don't I know it
3026s	her trash Talk's on point because she's
3028s	just right
3039s	I do have culling in my lethal Mirage
3041s	though
3042s	fool
3053s	okay
3054s	I'm trying to get a question here
3061s	all right hey is there any use for
3063s	unwanted uniques yet not really
3066s	um
3068s	you can sell them I know that's not like
3072s	what you're looking for
3078s	where are we going
3083s	I believe it I'm killing you so slowly
3102s	I mean
3104s	no
3110s	yes
3112s	all right who needs lightning res
3118s	what I'm counting on
3125s	all right
3127s	this is gonna take a long time oh no my
3130s	damage is so terrible
3132s	oh no
3135s	oh no
3138s	can't do anything to all my damage
3139s	before this fight starts
3148s	doesn't matter how familiar
3151s	I mean it'll help a little bit I guess I
3153s	probably yeah
3155s	so much leech already I can actually
3157s	reroll this
3159s	yeah
3161s	it's actually way better
3179s	the hotel there is not useful for us
3183s	it's okay though uh cold damage we do
3186s	not need ing Health we do not need fire
3189s	damage we do not need minion damage we
3192s	do not need all right that's unfortunate
3197s	this might be better just use
3200s	yeah
3204s	let's grab a free
3207s	prefix no
3210s	Fizz damage yep
3216s	okay
3221s	that should be better this would be a
3222s	lot better because cold red is going to
3223s	be great
3225s	I need lightning though
3232s	it's damage
3235s	oh I realize my face is over this sorry
3240s	this is what I'm doing
3241s	sorry just a quick quick crafting
3243s	interlude
3245s	virus what is our fire runs right now
3247s	it's still overcapped let's try and
3248s	switch this to something else
3250s	Dodge reading let's transition to
3252s	something else
3253s	High fire is nice to see you again
3261s	because damage yes
3263s	yes
3265s	bring endurance I'll take it
3270s	okay this this should help some
3273s	do better gloves than this
3278s	area for area skills yeah
3281s	wow my left eye is itchy right now
3285s	there's various skills
3288s	uh
3291s	kind of hot garbage isn't it
3299s	armor is good
3304s	crit strike free crit yeah okay okay
3307s	I mean that went that went decent
3312s	let's go vitality
3316s	we're not doing much damage over time
3317s	stuff at all lethal Mirage yeah we'll
3320s	take that
3321s	freeze we're not doing that Mana regen
3323s	yeah
3330s	healthy during the chaos that
3334s	necrotic I mean not useful for this
3336s	fight but useful
3339s	digital channel we don't Channel
3345s	okay
3347s	we're better are we better enough
3349s	unlikely
3351s	let's give it a shot crafting interlude
3353s	over
3357s	this is how you get your butt kicked by
3359s	look on
3363s	ow
3379s	en
3398s	getting decent armor shred Stacks which
3400s	is nice
3411s	did we break 50 I thought we're getting
3413s	close
3424s	that's a sneaky ability there where he
3426s	like puts his face down you gotta make
3428s	sure to move for those
3439s	okay
3447s	get that one
3449s	it get that that's something that gets
3450s	me
3455s	is there technical reason why these
3457s	rules exist or as a design decision
3459s	um it's it's
3462s	kind of the way we we built those things
3464s	this is back to the um
3467s	uh
3469s	the design of sub skills inheriting
3471s	certain things or not
3473s	um
3476s	it's kind of those things that we just
3477s	didn't think about really the the
3480s	um long-term effects of it and the
3482s	system kind of ballooned
3484s	um
3487s	I I think the the reason why nothing's
3490s	been done to completely normalize them
3491s	at this point is is technical
3494s	limitations on it
3503s	like when when those effects when that
3505s	style of effect was first added
3508s	um like the concept of a sub skill was
3510s	pretty pretty early on
3514s	um
3516s	and we just kept adding those types of
3517s	effects and we're just like okay well
3518s	conditionals aren't inherited and then
3520s	we started adding conditionals based on
3523s	like players status and that's and
3526s	that's another the what he's gotten
3529s	wow the waters got muddied
3542s	all right we're going on
3551s	my ocean
3556s	yep go that way oh no the wrong way
3566s	the device always goes when he starts to
3567s	do his big charge of attack you want to
3569s	move to the center
3576s	there we go
3577s	so that he goes away from you
3589s	I was gonna [ __ ] there because it moved
3592s	me fully up into the character see that
3594s	you move to the center so it goes away
3599s	get out of that
3606s	schools
3613s	I was too far
3615s	it's okay though
3636s	oh
3638s	I didn't see him dug down lethal Bros
3641s	just saved my butt and killed him in one
3643s	oh that was close
3657s	we got lucky there
3662s	is the campaign complete no the
3664s	storyline seems to include defeating Rye
3667s	heading back to deal with the emperor
3668s	but it ends earlier yes is there more
3671s	campaign coming later there is there are
3673s	still three chapters missing
3675s	uh you depending yes you need to ping me
3678s	I'm sorry if I missed questions I know
3680s	I'm probably super behind I'll catch up
3682s	I'm just gonna power through some of
3683s	those after we did this fight here
3688s	let's go let's go we got our blessing
3695s	that it's kind of bad it's incredible
3698s	it's just nice though really this stuff
3701s	yes there's that throwing damage
3704s	enough for us
3707s	such that's I love this one oh
3711s	so pretty
3712s	uh how does the game decide to sort
3714s	items you press the auto sort button
3716s	great question
3718s	um it's really basic it starts with the
3721s	physically largest items
3725s	um and it just it just says like it
3727s	probably starts with two-anded sword it
3728s	says like all the 200 swords put them in
3730s	starting in the starting on the left and
3732s	then it presses all the 200 Spears put
3734s	them in then all the maces then I'll oh
3736s	I guess all 200 weapons are the same or
3738s	something I don't know like it takes all
3739s	of the things that are the same size
3740s	slaps them over to the left and then the
3744s	next biggest thing slaps over the last
3745s	next biggest thing slaps over the left
3747s	um
3750s	there's an order that it goes in I
3752s	should know I literally wrote it but I
3754s	don't sorry
3756s	it's very simplistic and I do really
3758s	want to add more sorting algorithms for
3759s	it so that it will
3761s	um so you can like press the sort button
3763s	multiple times and it'll like sort in
3765s	different ways or
3767s	um like this is kind of going a little
3769s	far but maybe adding in like a setting
3772s	to be like when you sort sort this way
3773s	or something like that
3775s	um
3777s	yeah
3778s	this was one of those like
3781s	so many features that you look at you're
3783s	like I gotta get back and fix it at some
3784s	point I gotta get back and fix that
3787s	yes llama I do know who's definitely
3790s	Swift
3791s	and you know when Mouse buttons will
3793s	return to its former and you're talking
3795s	about the left Mouse button
3797s	um being able to assign a skill here
3800s	hopefully soon someone's working on it
3802s	by the way can we expect to see more hot
3804s	fixes 4.91 yes
3806s	it's not already at 0.9 F so many really
3810s	since little to no time yeah the it's
3812s	unfortunate we've had to do so many
3814s	um
3815s	but it's it is good that we're able to
3818s	show that we are able to respond quickly
3821s	to issues when they do arise
3826s	I'll be better
3830s	let's go stick a few uniques in our
3831s	stash just because
3833s	I like having I like having them
3838s	and yes I do know about the stash
3839s	problems for deleting categories PSA the
3842s	the stash category problem that that
3845s	happens if you do if you make a new
3848s	category
3849s	I I'm literally working on this right
3851s	now so if you
3854s	I don't wanna I can force a dab and I
3856s	don't want it to I don't want to force
3857s	them if you switch the order
3861s	so if I were to if I were to take this
3863s	and say this is category two
3866s	um so the stash tab any sash tabs in
3868s	category two and I then drag category
3871s	three over and switch its place with
3873s	category two and then delete category
3875s	three
3877s	um it will delete category two instead
3879s	because what it's doing and this is just
3882s	a a silly little oversight that has
3886s	horrible repercussions
3888s	um is that it's deleting each category
3890s	when it gets created has a category ID
3893s	that is immutable
3896s	um static can't be changed and so this
3899s	is ID two actually even though it says
3902s	three because it's zero one two
3904s	um
3905s	and
3907s	if you
3910s	delete this category it's going to it's
3913s	category two it's going to delete the
3915s	category at index 2. which is zero one
3919s	two
3920s	and therefore we'll delete this category
3924s	um which is very problematic and really
3925s	stupid
3927s	um
3928s	so just if you don't reorder the
3930s	categories they should be fine
3933s	but obviously that's not a solution and
3935s	we are definitely gonna fix it
3938s	I have a fixed on text testing right now
3944s	or it was before this stream started
3952s	do you like for this insane game you're
3953s	welcome I'm glad you're having fun
3957s	uh is there gonna be more in-game
3958s	content absolutely
3961s	uh no just not Mike viable well I can't
3967s	I love I love this this character too
3973s	no but I enjoyed it
3979s	oh I'm an idiot
3982s	no it will be a long road to majelka
3984s	after but
3987s	right
3991s	sadly yes
3999s	is there plans to make it where we don't
4001s	have to do normal monoliths on every
4002s	tune so we can do empowered right away
4004s	if we wanted uh there are no plans at
4006s	the moment to change that
4009s	um
4009s	I know there's been a lot of feedback on
4011s	the topic recently um
4015s	I do have this topic scheduled as a
4019s	discussion topic for uh Tuesday's game
4022s	design meeting so oh we'll give we'll
4025s	give it a chat and see what we have to
4026s	say about it but there's no plans on it
4028s	right now
4034s	will pets ever pick up materials for you
4037s	uh like the ones you earn in game where
4040s	it's possible to Auto pick up for them
4041s	we have no plans to change the material
4043s	pickup system at the moment
4046s	um I mean like copy and paste the answer
4047s	I just said for the last question I
4049s	guess
4051s	um there's nothing scheduled for that
4052s	one though but
4054s	um
4054s	yeah we're doing armor shred for sure
4057s	for sure
4061s	I'm surprised how fast Drew transmission
4064s	bug got fixed uh when I send out the
4067s	report I got we're probably 30 minutes
4068s	after I sent out the report and I think
4069s	it only took three days for it to get
4070s	fixed sweet
4073s	um
4078s	it is possible I don't want to downplay
4080s	that we are working on stuff quickly but
4081s	it is possible someone was already
4083s	working on it when the report got sent
4090s	hello
4092s	nor am I a fan of fans
4097s	good it's good it's good it's a good
4098s	line
4101s	all right let's get back into the action
4102s	right
4106s	uh silicon's been nerfed vis-a-vis the
4109s	sweeping I-beam not going the full
4110s	distance
4112s	has it
4115s	pretty sure that that sweeps the same as
4116s	it's always been I could be wrong
4118s	uh any spoilers that I have missed I
4120s	haven't done any spoilers yet oh my
4122s	goodness I forgot I have spoilers for
4124s	you guys I see I rely on you asking for
4127s	spoilers to remember to give them
4129s	uh it's totally your fault it's not my
4131s	fault at all
4132s	you can't prove anything Knox
4136s	stuff for you I got stuff
4138s	start with this one
4140s	here is uh some Mage t60 Armor Set
4145s	a little little turnaround for you
4151s	drink lots of water
4154s	will there be any updates to the end
4155s	game in the next patch
4160s	um
4161s	I can't guarantee anything yet
4165s	um there are things on the list that we
4167s	hope to get in for next patch but I mean
4170s	like 0.91 with the next batch I'm not
4171s	talking about hot fixes
4173s	um there are
4174s	um elements for updating some in-game
4177s	systems that we have planned for
4181s	0.91
4183s	um nothing big but there's there's some
4185s	stuff some little things we have planned
4188s	um I don't know if it'll make it in for
4189s	point in one of the patch after that but
4193s	um
4193s	yeah like updating the end game is so
4196s	like like our our major focus is right
4198s	now with the game is you know like
4201s	stability making sure like things like
4204s	um accidental rollbacks don't happen
4206s	um decreasing load times improving
4208s	server performance like that's number
4210s	one priority
4212s	um
4213s	like
4215s	um and then the number two priority for
4216s	us is like finishing
4219s	um finishing the the classes off so they
4221s	all all their skills are finished
4223s	um adding the final Mastery classes
4225s	um polishing up the end game uh like
4227s	deepening the end game experience
4229s	um adding the item faction system like
4231s	that's this is sort of these are the
4232s	high priority things for us right now
4235s	um
4236s	so yeah we're working on it
4239s	um
4240s	and then also simultaneously with all
4242s	that just bug fixes and polish updates
4244s	and that's always happening
4251s	uh shrines reset or extend the buff
4254s	timer uh reset
4262s	I should probably actually hide this now
4264s	before I start playing again
4266s	any plans to make armor less relevant
4268s	and make armor scale better for end game
4275s	or
4280s	like those are opposite things or or
4283s	make armor scale better for it like
4287s	um
4288s	like those are just two sides the same
4290s	coin really I think
4293s	um I can say no we don't have any plans
4295s	for that
4297s	that's interesting
4300s	yeah I got one there too
4312s	uh
4314s	oh Shadows I don't want the Shadows I
4317s	don't care about that hasturation we do
4318s	like that mainly physical energy yeah
4319s	that's what we want
4326s	easy any with no on no plans for it but
4330s	if you have a suggestion you'd like
4332s	consider please head to our forums leave
4334s	feedback
4336s	yeah
4338s	any updates on the optimizations coming
4340s	in 0.91 Steam deck experience is almost
4342s	playable yes I get such vastly different
4345s	reports on on how steam deck works it's
4347s	so interesting um I mean so there was
4348s	yeah there was a ton of optimization and
4350s	performance updates that happened in 0.9
4352s	um and we're still adding more so it's
4355s	still still happening we're still trying
4357s	to update and optimize performance as
4358s	much as we can
4360s	um
4360s	foreign we're looking server
4363s	optimization is a huge topic right now
4365s	for us
4371s	partially because it will let us do
4372s	things like
4374s	um have have more more mob density it'll
4378s	allow us to do things like have
4380s	um
4381s	more game servers running on
4384s	uh the same physical machines
4387s	which makes the game cheaper for us to
4390s	run a lot cheaper for the game to run
4394s	um
4400s	even just adding one game server to a
4403s	machine can have a huge impact
4413s	I scroll by a ton if anyone has any
4415s	questions don't forget to put Atlas
4417s	Epoch game in the question so I
4419s	remember
4421s	hi Mike and chat hello
4425s	uh will there ever be an AutoCast toggle
4427s	we don't plan for it but ever's a long
4429s	time if you have any suggestions please
4431s	feel free to add on over to reforms and
4432s	leave that there it's so hard for you to
4435s	answer questions like will there ever be
4436s	this or do you have any plans for that I
4438s	mean so much of it's just like like
4440s	a lot of these like little details no we
4443s	don't have any plans for these things um
4444s	but it doesn't mean anyone saying window
4446s	plans it doesn't mean that we also have
4447s	plans not to specifically so it's like
4452s	um
4460s	it's usually like we we decided on
4462s	having it one way
4464s	and released it and
4467s	um haven't had another formal discussion
4469s	about it since
4478s	it's usually what that means
4480s	bit of an ambush here
4490s	it's okay we disappear into our own
4492s	cover I brought my cover with me it's
4494s	fine
4499s	you gotta give that last little bit of
4501s	map exploration done you know
4503s	uh do skills you guys balance that some
4506s	of the skills good only for early level
4508s	or in-game post story missions no
4521s	please
4523s	can we at least get faster stability on
4526s	alts in normal monos especially on later
4528s	ones are relatively slow to get the boss
4530s	if you already have gear and hit
4532s	empowered
4534s	um we don't have like we're gonna be
4536s	talking about this
4538s	um sort of stuff coming up but we
4540s	haven't discussed it since point nine
4542s	released since before that actually
4545s	work back here again
4548s	um
4551s	yeah so maybe if you have any
4553s	suggestions please head over to the
4554s	forums drop them off there
4559s	suggestions go in one ear and out the
4561s	other for me sorry
4568s	I suppose dodging Oscar auspices off the
4570s	table fortunately there is unfortunately
4573s	because they're all over the place
4574s	unfortunately I suppose
4577s	unfortunately you'll go alone
4583s	uh tell us the truth Mike do you plan on
4586s	making a literally perform MTX on 1.0
4589s	release
4591s	um no
4592s	but let's re-perform is getting a new
4594s	model next batch
4596s	which I know I said last batch but
4600s	should actually be coming next match
4602s	I saw I saw a preview of it um actually
4605s	in game running around not all the
4607s	animations were done
4608s	um but oh some cool variants for it too
4611s	looks good
4617s	um I'm sure there'll be ncx for it post
4619s	1.0
4620s	uh hey Mike is it intended that
4622s	corruption gain in a group when killing
4625s	the shade is only applying to the player
4626s	that started that Echo I hope it's not I
4629s	don't think it is
4634s	um
4636s	just wanted to say that listening to you
4638s	talk about Game Dev design makes me
4640s	really want to start doing it too on the
4641s	side cool uh yeah it's it's it's a lot
4646s	of work I will say that but it's a ton
4647s	of fun so if you enjoy that sort of
4649s	stuff
4650s	um the advice I always get to people who
4652s	are considering doing it as like a hobby
4655s	on the side
4657s	um
4658s	uh scope very conservatively
4662s	so if you're like
4664s	um
4665s	I'm gonna make a game that does ABCD you
4669s	know cut BCD and just do it but just
4672s	they do a
4673s	um
4675s	especially for the first one
4679s	because finishing a game is unbelievably
4682s	hard to do
4686s	not not from a like
4688s	like it's technically difficult or
4689s	anything like that but just like
4692s	emotionally difficult I know the right
4694s	way to put it but like
4695s	actually finishing a game and releasing
4697s	it is
4698s	so rare the percentage that actually get
4700s	released compared to the percentage to
4701s	get started is shocking
4709s	yeah good luck to it
4712s	uh I swear I used to be able to assign
4714s	abilities to the left click it's true
4716s	you did uh isn't that why there are two
4718s	icons it's true there is why what was
4721s	the reason for this change there was a
4722s	giant bug we haven't squashed it yet
4724s	uh when doing multiplayers such as T4
4727s	sanctum and having scaling take effect
4729s	for Mob HP if a player dies in the boss
4732s	fight yet the others kill it maybe the
4734s	change to
4736s	maybe change to let the others also get
4739s	loot Etc
4741s	sorry I don't I think I may just read
4743s	that wrong
4745s	um
4745s	if you have a suggestion or feedback or
4747s	a bug report please head on over to the
4748s	Discord or not Discord uh forums uh
4751s	leave it there
4752s	but um the experience in multiplayer for
4755s	the dungeons should be pretty consistent
4756s	with uh regardless of if you're the
4759s	party leader or not and
4762s	um
4766s	I'm pretty sure if you whether or not
4768s	you get the kill or not like whether
4770s	you're alive for the kill I think if you
4771s	I I uh I think the way it is it's
4774s	supposed I think the way it's supposed
4776s	to be is if you release
4778s	you don't get it but I can't remember
4780s	we are I know that's the topic that we
4782s	had for
4783s	our Thursday meeting and we didn't get
4785s	to it so we'll be talking about it on
4786s	Tuesday but I know there's some problems
4788s	in there
4793s	I just took the wrong node
4795s	it's okay though
4803s	what is going on
4816s	oh my God so much poison oh you cleansed
4819s	that's why I took that
4823s	good job Mike cleansing me you have
4825s	three poison sacks and not wait until
4826s	you have 10.
4829s	All Pro strats right here you heard it
4831s	first
4843s	are there opportunities similar to other
4845s	games cough cough uh to get your own
4848s	unique similar item
4851s	your own unique special item into the
4853s	game oh um okay so we have in the past
4856s	had supporter packs that uh came with
4860s	um designing unique as part of that
4863s	um and so we've done quite a few of
4865s	those there's a lot of uniques in the
4866s	game that are supported uniques that are
4868s	designed by players
4870s	um
4871s	we kind of a year and a half ago
4876s	maybe even maybe even longer ago than
4878s	that we had to uh close down that
4881s	program
4882s	um
4884s	I I don't know if it's permanent or not
4885s	yeah I don't I don't think I think I
4887s	think we'd like to bring it back if we
4888s	can
4889s	um I don't think it'll come back before
4891s	1.0 it is weird so we were selling those
4895s	packs for a thousand dollars
4896s	it's gonna sound ridiculous we were
4898s	losing money on every single one of
4899s	those packs
4901s	which I know sounds absolutely
4902s	ridiculous but just the time and the
4905s	number of people that are involved with
4906s	making that unique that
4908s	um that like leave what they're doing to
4910s	go work on that supported unique and and
4913s	collaborate with that supporter
4915s	um
4916s	and like the the wage difference for how
4917s	much it would take to just make it
4918s	unique for those people
4920s	um ends up being more than a thousand
4922s	dollars pretty quickly
4925s	um so so it was we're also we also
4927s	hitting a pretty big backlog on them
4928s	we're like these people need to uh go do
4932s	things to get the game ready for 0.9 and
4934s	1.0 so um we kind of had to stop doing
4938s	that uh I'd like to bring it back
4942s	um
4945s	there might need to be some sort of like
4946s	limited availability lottery or
4947s	something like that and and just not
4950s	have it be a money thing
4953s	um
4955s	I don't know how we can do it fairly but
4957s	I know that we don't I know that in
4960s	order to
4961s	price it such that it's worthwhile for
4964s	us to do and there and we won't be
4966s	flooded by requests for it the price
4968s	would have to be unreasonably high and
4970s	it would not feel good
4972s	so we don't really want to bring it back
4975s	at this crazy stupid price and be like
4977s	all right guys this much now isn't that
4979s	terrible
4981s	um so that's that's kind of we're trying
4983s	to avoid doing that
4984s	um
4986s	because we still like to we we love
4989s	having
4991s	um Community created uniques and
4992s	supporter uniques in the game that's
4994s	just absolutely wonderful I mean we want
4996s	to keep doing that and keep in mind that
4997s	opportunity people
4999s	um we just don't know how we can do that
5001s	yet and have it be reasonable and fair
5003s	for everyone and you know all that sort
5005s	of stuff so
5008s	hopefully soon I shouldn't say soon
5011s	hopefully eventually
5017s	give me those ice beetles let's go boys
5021s	who's the necro now it's me
5027s	I love pack of ice beetles
5040s	this guy is just tanky
5047s	yeah
5049s	let's see always beautiful before you
5050s	expire
5054s	I do kind of wish there um
5057s	yeah duration was a little longer so to
5058s	say they're gonna run an 80 second now
5065s	we do we need we need poison res I know
5068s	that right now
5069s	um so we should start looking for poison
5071s	res which is zero
5077s	that's terrible
5081s	what are your own goals with 1.0 release
5084s	um finish the masteries have multiplayer
5087s	Rock Solid
5089s	um
5092s	those are my goals
5099s	personally
5101s	oh what's the story behind the bear
5106s	um
5107s	one of our coders
5109s	um who
5111s	like you know who you are thank you so
5113s	much for putting that bear Emoji in
5115s	there oh it was perfect well done
5117s	fantastic
5120s	uh when we were setting up the default
5123s	name fallback name for nameplates if
5127s	there's a problem or anything like that
5129s	um
5129s	they just decided like this this is not
5132s	planned or anything they just decided
5133s	that they would be best to have
5135s	something distinct and like easily
5138s	recognizable uh and kind of cute to be
5141s	the
5142s	um default name that showed up and they
5146s	just slapped that in there
5148s	um that's that's it that's the whole
5150s	story behind it
5152s	um
5153s	and it's absolutely adorable
5159s	you can mess with the rotation of it by
5162s	forcing them to turn oh that's hilarious
5164s	that shouldn't happen
5169s	gotta get that rotation decoupled
5177s	um
5181s	okay
5183s	okay let's do a little crafting
5188s	some credible and some Ellie res
5192s	uh we don't need Mana though so we're
5193s	gonna cast that right away
5196s	fire penetration for the night
5198s	somehow worse
5203s	okay this has gone downhill off a cliff
5206s	and we're floundering at the bottom of
5208s	that Cliff right now
5211s	and yet somehow
5218s	because of that poison resistance
5224s	and the critstrike avoidance I think
5226s	it's actually better
5236s	that's what am I doing what am I doing
5241s	thank you for the assistance I love this
5244s	guy
5249s	so pragmatic
5253s	um
5255s	hey thoughts
5257s	I thought
5259s	I have several a day sometimes multiple
5262s	times
5263s	uh any plans to make crafting extend to
5266s	Idols like using two one by ones to a
5268s	two by two or one by two by one or one
5270s	by two so on and so forth
5272s	um we've we've talked about things like
5274s	that I don't think we'll do specifically
5276s	that
5278s	um
5281s	there's I Idols will probably not be
5285s	changed at 1.0
5287s	I'd say that Idols having
5290s	um I think Idols being an untapped
5292s	source of
5294s	uh customization and
5299s	um
5301s	future depth being added to the game is
5305s	uh very useful to have so readily
5307s	available once we go to 1.1 and 1.2 1.3
5311s	and we're looking for things to do
5314s	um
5315s	so yeah I I
5319s	not yet
5320s	is cosmetic shop happening before 1.0 if
5322s	not when it's coming it should be next
5324s	patch
5325s	really should be next batch there's
5327s	there's 0.91
5329s	um it's it's like so close to being
5331s	ready
5331s	it just wasn't quite stable enough and
5335s	um it was so last second and because
5337s	we're dealing with real money things
5338s	with it it had to be Rock Solid before
5340s	getting it in
5341s	um so we delayed it
5343s	hired people like this
5346s	because like yes it's terrible to have
5349s	um like a bug eaten item
5352s	um that you worked for and like that
5354s	feels awful and we we like want to do
5356s	everything we can to prevent that as
5357s	much as possible
5359s	um
5360s	it is clearly worse to just have it eat
5363s	your money your like your real money
5366s	um
5370s	so we had we that that had to be
5374s	uh cut back just just on the off chance
5376s	there was a problem there
5386s	uh any plans in the work to change how
5389s	corruption is gained in party currently
5391s	only the host gains that none of you I
5392s	like uh I'm pretty far behind I think
5396s	um
5398s	if you have suggestions please go to the
5400s	forums I I I don't know we're going to
5403s	talk about it tomorrow uh Tuesday sorry
5405s	uh do you release last
5407s	do you release last chapters of story
5409s	content
5410s	update before full launch to test and
5414s	bug out
5415s	um the Final Chapter story chapters will
5419s	not be available at 1.0 there will be
5423s	story content that comes postal point
5424s	out
5425s	which I know sounds real weird to say
5427s	but
5428s	um we just we know that the time it will
5431s	take to finish the chapters is longer
5433s	than we want to wait to release 1.0 so
5438s	maybe it'll be I think I think two
5440s	chapters post 1.0 I think
5443s	could be wrong
5458s	that ability offset's wrong too
5465s	when doing multiplayers such as T4
5468s	sanctum and having scaling take effect
5469s	for Mob HP if a player audience this
5473s	thing
5477s	I mean we're constantly updating all the
5479s	stuff what's Le written in uh Prime like
5482s	95 of it's in C sharp
5487s	there's like we start getting into like
5490s	like what do you consider le as from a
5493s	standpoint of like what it's written in
5495s	does
5497s	um like the engine
5498s	the underlying engines that count you
5500s	know um like stuff we didn't write
5502s	packages we're using
5504s	um like the server code does that count
5506s	you know like there's there's all sorts
5507s	of stuff that like the server
5509s	allocations and things like that that
5510s	aren't written in C sharp and uh
5513s	it's C sharp
5517s	uh
5518s	uh has the team played D4 and if you
5521s	guys have did you guys see cool design
5523s	decisions that you might want to
5524s	implement in Le
5525s	um so I mean first off we do try really
5527s	hard to
5529s	um
5532s	I I guess
5535s	not just take things from other games
5538s	um because quite frequently even if it's
5540s	just like like systems generally don't
5543s	exist in isolation
5545s	um so you can end up with a system
5546s	that's that's like really cool in
5549s	um
5551s	in one game
5555s	and if you uh if you just take that
5557s	system and you just slap it into another
5559s	game it's it just doesn't work the same
5562s	way
5563s	um and even if you're trying to adapt it
5565s	carefully there's there's like the
5567s	interactions they have with other
5568s	components and other systems it quite
5571s	frequently has problems
5575s	I'd love to clear them out at some point
5577s	we've got far too much to do right now
5582s	um
5584s	so so it's it's yeah it's it's difficult
5586s	to just be like as you're playing a game
5588s	be like oh the system's Sweet let's
5590s	let's take it to do this other thing you
5591s	know
5593s	um
5594s	and and we like to we like to develop
5597s	Epoch sort of
5599s	um
5600s	in the context of epoch not in the
5601s	context of hey I saw this cool thing in
5603s	this other game
5604s	um no that's not to say that our
5607s	uh the games we play influence the games
5610s	we make there's just there's just no way
5613s	around that that's true forever you
5614s	create a medium
5616s	um
5618s	and it's not just the games it's
5619s	everything so you get a book and an
5620s	influence that's how you make a game you
5622s	watch a movie and it influence how you
5625s	I don't know write a book you know
5628s	um so there's definitely influences that
5630s	come over for sure and uh I can't say
5633s	there's been anything that we've
5634s	that we have looked at and been like hey
5636s	let's do that or anything like that
5639s	um
5639s	as far as how we played a bunch of
5641s	people who played it I have watched the
5643s	opening cut scene
5645s	that's all I've done so far myself
5650s	uh will the game be cheaper one day or
5653s	even increase the price we have no plans
5655s	to change the
5657s	um the 35 price tag for the game right
5659s	now I cannot speak to ever
5664s	or one day
5668s	uh will you be introducing new skills in
5670s	the future absolutely every uh class and
5673s	master will have the same number of
5675s	skills at launch
5676s	um so there's one more bass Rogue skill
5678s	missing here
5679s	um there's one more Rogue Master skill
5681s	missing here there's one more blade
5682s	dancer skill missing here there's one
5684s	more marks and skill missing here and
5685s	there are five Falconer skills missing
5688s	here
5690s	um
5691s	Rogue has the fewest number of total
5693s	skills available so far but all classes
5695s	will have the same number of skills at
5697s	launch post launch we will still
5699s	continue to add new skills
5700s	um there's very intentional spaces in
5703s	these trees to add more still
5706s	um we can also just slap more on the
5708s	base class
5709s	um
5710s	we can we can slap in an extra Mastery
5712s	class if we want to like there's
5715s	there is room for new skills and we will
5717s	be continuing to add them
5719s	passive Hawk Wings The Beastmaster I do
5721s	not know what it does
5727s	you know what let's just let's just I'm
5730s	gonna catch up on a couple questions
5731s	here
5733s	hey look this cool thing while I talk
5735s	passive Hawk Wings in Beastmaster gives
5737s	a chance for haste on hit but doesn't
5739s	say the length of haste granted uh is
5742s	all sources default one second of haste
5744s	even when it's not stated default Source
5746s	uh time for haste is four seconds
5748s	uh I think if you hold oh no they won't
5751s	say it actually
5753s	um game guide probably says it
5757s	I know you can't see my screen right now
5760s	it say it's not here oh taste is in here
5763s	this is four seconds
5766s	uh my friend didn't release uh
5769s	and just didn't get loot yeah so there
5771s	might be a bug it might just be a
5772s	something we overlooked when you're
5774s	setting it up
5775s	um we'll talk about it hey Mike happy
5778s	Friday hey happy Friday what are your
5781s	top three favorite unique items in the
5783s	game oh that's so hard
5786s	um
5788s	oh I don't know
5791s	uh kermot's cage I really like with the
5794s	changing the way around white uh I think
5796s	it's just I think it's it's such a sweet
5798s	model I love it
5800s	um
5806s	uh I do really like Harold the scary
5809s	squirrels are so wonderful
5814s	um
5815s	this is so hard this there's so many
5817s	running through my head that I'm like oh
5818s	that one's great oh that one's great oh
5819s	that one's great uh
5825s	one of the ones that makes bees
5829s	right after my money's gonna be unique
5834s	yeah there you go I'm predictable it's
5836s	fine I'll take it
5839s	the the three new ones that were
5842s	um showcased in the the patch video all
5844s	three of those are just Stellar too I
5847s	really like those
5850s	um
5852s	any plans to update monolith on
5854s	update and monolith oh uh models a fate
5859s	uh it says models of faith and I'm like
5861s	just fumbling model the Fate sorry
5864s	um in next patch since now is just
5865s	running until objective is really it
5867s	really is repetitive uh don't get me
5870s	wrong I love the game it had more than
5871s	500 hours in but uh that's only because
5873s	I like playing different builds not
5875s	because end games keep me playing yeah
5876s	so we we definitely are very keenly
5879s	aware that that model needs
5881s	um more
5883s	um unpredictable content is what I want
5885s	to say instead of so let me talk about
5886s	like like randomized content but I think
5888s	unpredictable content is sort of a
5890s	better way of putting it um and what I
5891s	mean by that is
5893s	um things that
5896s	like like
5898s	um
5899s	objectives that appear
5903s	suddenly
5905s	um like randomized objectives that sort
5907s	of like okay I'm fumbling over my words
5910s	here a great example a very simple very
5913s	positive example of this is treasure
5915s	goblins
5917s	um
5918s	it is an implied Quest objective that
5921s	shows up mid
5923s	activity where you have you're doing
5925s	something okay I'm searching for this
5927s	item or I'm looking for this location or
5930s	I'm you know like doing this thing or
5931s	that thing or whatever
5933s	um and then just so there's a bug here
5936s	and I it looked like there was no skills
5938s	available but I just put one in it's
5939s	because I have a plus skill item
5942s	um and that's why I did that if anyone's
5943s	wondering
5945s	um
5951s	sorry let's go Mike quickly
5955s	this yeah one cleanse elements and start
5957s	doing that
5958s	uh
5960s	you're gonna make mistakes Mike
5962s	yeah that's okay though just do it
5966s	we're going this way we're going this
5967s	way
5968s	here okay
5970s	um
5971s	yeah so treasure Goblin shows up and no
5973s	matter what you're doing suddenly you've
5975s	implicitly been handed this new Quest
5976s	that says kill this enemy before it gets
5979s	away and you get a sweet reward
5983s	um
5984s	and it's it's this like unexpected
5987s	content right it's this unexpected
5988s	objective that shows up
5990s	um and so other other good examples of
5993s	this is like you're you're playing like
5995s	a really simple example from Poe you're
5997s	playing along and suddenly there's like
5999s	a map device and there's another like
6000s	map inside the map and you go to that
6002s	map
6004s	um
6004s	you know things like that where they
6006s	sort of like show up and and add
6008s	something cool it rewards you for
6010s	exploring
6011s	um
6012s	and so like the models are very keenly
6015s	missing content like that right now and
6018s	uh we're definitely aware of that we
6019s	definitely want to add more stuff to it
6020s	we've we've got so many plans and so
6023s	many things we want to do and it's so
6024s	hard to like fit it all in
6027s	um but yeah they're coming
6032s	uh what is the max corruption limit set
6034s	currently in empowered models runs
6037s	um two billion
6038s	I don't know
6041s	you'll never get there
6044s	uh how does development of a game change
6046s	after his release patch in my mind it
6048s	should be like no difference yeah I mean
6050s	there's
6053s	um
6054s	so we we we're not in Post Release yet
6057s	so I don't I can't really tell you
6058s	exactly what's gonna happen
6060s	um there is some difference though and I
6063s	think part of what the difference is is
6064s	there's a greater expectation for new
6069s	content and new new additions to be to
6073s	be more
6074s	um more solid more complete
6077s	um
6078s	and like we're getting to that point now
6081s	where there's like there's that
6082s	expectation
6084s	um which is good and we and we want to
6086s	uh
6088s	like we we want to be
6092s	like just just just go
6096s	um there's there's that expertise that's
6098s	kind of what I'm talking about um with
6099s	the
6100s	um
6113s	let me know if you have any questions
6117s	so even
6121s	shift k
6123s	no it's just not even it's not even this
6125s	build okay
6128s	um the the Cosmetic purchasing panel I
6131s	was gonna show uh as an example for that
6134s	um
6137s	like had the real money things really
6140s	the reason why it's not in but had it
6142s	not been two thrill money and we were
6144s	two years ago it probably just would
6146s	have been slapped in even though it
6147s	wasn't quite fully polished yet
6151s	um but as as you get closer to release
6153s	and as for Past release any new features
6156s	any new content anything goes in there's
6157s	a greater expectation of quality and
6159s	polish that we really want to maintain
6163s	um
6165s	so I think I think there's a little bit
6166s	of a shift as the game launches but as
6168s	far as like what we're doing and
6169s	developing and and looking to do I think
6172s	there's not a ton of change there
6175s	like we're gonna still this the our
6177s	patchkins will hopefully be the same
6179s	that's the goal
6180s	um
6181s	back to our Point 8x
6184s	Cadence not what we had for this the
6185s	year that we missed patches on
6188s	um
6189s	but yeah it's it's it shouldn't be much
6191s	other changes
6197s	uh
6200s	I think set items fall behind now what
6203s	is the plan for them in the future
6205s	um I agree we don't have a set plan for
6206s	them yet
6214s	uh who's gonna be uh who's gonna be the
6217s	what's gonna be the pricing who what's
6219s	gonna be the pricing on ntx's do you
6221s	expect to have something like tears of
6223s	Cosmetics with increased prices what's
6225s	the plan yeah like there'll be
6228s	uh there will be certain Cosmetics which
6230s	I love that so much which have
6233s	um
6234s	like like cheaper tiered ones that are
6237s	maybe a little less
6239s	um flashy and
6242s	um cosmetic cosmetic VFX
6245s	um
6247s	effervescent I don't know a good word
6249s	for it but just like a little less
6251s	extra
6252s	will be cheaper probably
6255s	um and the ones that are more extra will
6256s	probably be uh more pricey you know like
6259s	I think
6260s	um
6262s	probably a decent example of this is
6264s	like the the pets that came with
6267s	supportive packs so we had like
6270s	um
6272s	like here this one is uh this is the one
6276s	one tier down from the one that was just
6277s	up I think
6279s	it's still cool
6281s	um it just doesn't have that like
6282s	lightning VFX
6284s	so this one's got this is they don't see
6285s	FX anymore that's what I had might have
6288s	like a little thing that happens every
6289s	once in a while there's like there's
6291s	some
6292s	like this one will like in town it like
6295s	explodes and there's like an eruption
6296s	that happens with it so like there's
6298s	there's there's definite
6299s	um
6302s	like price differences on the MTX that
6305s	are more flashy on a thing
6310s	um
6310s	do I know what those prices are gonna be
6312s	no
6314s	um
6318s	do we want like I I think we've
6322s	it's so hard to say things here because
6323s	I don't know what the prices are gonna
6324s	be
6325s	um but I I know that we've
6328s	frequently expressed internally that we
6331s	don't want things to be
6333s	um to feel gougie
6336s	I don't know what else to say it
6339s	I think we've done a pretty good job at
6340s	showing where our priorities lies in
6342s	studio
6344s	when it comes to things like this
6347s	and if we haven't that sucks I'm sorry
6349s	we'll do a better job going forward
6354s	our number one priority though is to
6356s	make an awesome game
6357s	that's our goal
6372s	well the mini Masters appear in 1.0 yes
6374s	they will not a question just wanted to
6375s	thank the entire team for the hard work
6377s	they putting anything for their gym
6378s	glad you're enjoying it always nice to
6380s	hear people having fun
6382s	all right uh that scene where we take
6385s	the big old bird taxi ride how awesome
6388s	would a motto Echo be like that eh yeah
6392s	um
6397s	I I just realized that you ended it with
6399s	a and then I just replied yeah
6402s	uh yes I'm Canadian if you didn't know
6405s	um
6406s	yeah I think that'd be really sweet
6409s	I know we talked about like there's a
6412s	couple Echoes that are a little on the
6414s	larger side that probably could use
6416s	splitting up
6418s	um to be able to like take the same
6421s	total number of enemies and put them
6423s	into a smaller Echo
6426s	I think what would help
6430s	on some some of the big ones something
6432s	there's a couple new ones that are
6433s	really big
6447s	oh don't die my try not to die are there
6450s	more items in the pipelines that add uh
6454s	hit crit like Harbinger Stars I was like
6457s	and it's like that only way
6459s	they open up so much
6461s	uh build possibilities
6463s	um nothing specific
6467s	um I do have like a list a big list of
6469s	like unique items that would be that I
6472s	want to add like there's 200 items on
6475s	that list right now
6476s	um
6478s	there are several that have
6482s	um cast on
6484s	triggers
6486s	associated with them for different
6488s	conditions and um so that is a style
6491s	that we will continue going forward I
6493s	don't have any specific ones that are
6495s	like
6496s	past the initial idea stage available
6500s	that I can share or talk about or even
6502s	any that I can't share or talk about
6506s	ding
6509s	let's go
6513s	any plans for other class specific
6515s	Weaponry like bows for Rogues if so any
6518s	skills you would expect to see changed
6520s	or added to require said weapons I um we
6523s	don't have anything specifically planned
6526s	um I'd really like to see and I don't
6529s	know if we can do this anytime soon or
6531s	at all really I'd really like to see
6533s	Bose opened up a little bit more to not
6534s	be pure Rogue
6536s	um I know that's something a lot of
6537s	people that just have expressed we just
6538s	don't have the that'll be like a post
6541s	1.0 thing I think
6546s	I I like we're missing that um this is
6550s	the tricky thing
6552s	um it's really nice to have spikes up
6555s	for five minutes in a row five months in
6556s	a row five minutes keep up the good work
6559s	thank you very much
6561s	um
6563s	as I said uh oh yeah we don't have that
6566s	like Ranger Hunter style like um you
6569s	like your pet bow like that sort of
6572s	playstyle is missing
6574s	um
6575s	and there's kind of two there's many
6577s	ways to add that so you can
6579s	um you can slap a whole new uh pig
6582s	pepper pig pepper thank you very much
6585s	for this uh Pig Pepper 13. yeah that
6588s	Prime sub going on
6590s	um
6592s	if we had I'm talking oh yeah that
6594s	Hunter archetype so there's a few
6596s	different ways we can slip that in
6597s	um one you can just uh enable bow usage
6601s	on a few primeless skills
6603s	um and Beastmaster is good to go it
6605s	really any of them can do it
6607s	um
6608s	you could make a new Mastery for
6610s	primalist
6611s	um but there's something else I'd rather
6612s	slip in there first so maybe not
6614s	um you could uh give some way for rogue
6620s	to unlock
6623s	um
6625s	give some way for rogue to unlock
6627s	the uh like like a like a wolf companion
6630s	maybe there's like an item that gives
6632s	you wolf summon wolf no matter what
6634s	class you are like wow
6637s	um pretty convention breaking probably
6639s	not maybe who knows
6641s	um and there's also like make a whole
6642s	new Base Class
6644s	um
6645s	also pretty unlikely
6648s	um
6650s	just because getting the
6652s	uh Mastery classes in is a lot easier
6656s	than a whole new base class
6662s	so there's a lot of options and ways to
6664s	do it and it's possible that any one of
6666s	those can happen I think
6668s	so I would like to see that style of
6670s	gameplay that we don't really have right
6671s	now
6685s	foreign
6700s	am I really far behind sorry
6703s	uh Michael a little late answering
6705s	questions here
6707s	you know what I might do I might just
6709s	like go to town easy the next next
6712s	Waypoint I'll just stop and just start
6713s	answering questions and slap up I got
6715s	one more I got one more little spoiler
6716s	for you
6723s	I'll probably wish right next one uh
6729s	yes
6730s	yes
6749s	all right currently when you use uh
6753s	shift on a controller dashes to a Target
6755s	uh is there plan to change this uh just
6758s	the direction you are facing
6761s	um I don't think there's any specific
6762s	plans I I know people have been talking
6764s	about that uh I can't remember what was
6767s	happening
6768s	sorry
6769s	I know I know there's movement and
6771s	targeting things that are being worked
6773s	on hey look a waypoint
6778s	what have I showed you what haven't I
6780s	showed you I think this one's new
6785s	here is a new enemy yeah this guy's
6788s	great
6793s	this the file name was only like
6795s	slightly void corrupted and I'm like
6803s	uh when do you plan on fixing the broken
6804s	known the devouring orb skill cheat that
6806s	we can select it
6808s	I didn't know there was one
6810s	um
6812s	when we get around to it
6816s	uh bug reports the forums that's how
6819s	they get fixed uh is there a corruption
6822s	level the game is bounced around
6824s	um I think the expectation for like very
6827s	high-end farming is around 300.
6833s	Pac-Man was the first RPG am I right
6837s	I would love to hear uh a full
6840s	leafledged argument on that one
6842s	I I think I can get behind it
6846s	uh talking about patches are you going
6848s	to uh back to the three month cycle
6850s	patches or will 0.91 be delayed a bit
6852s	more to First fix all the bugs um it'll
6855s	be roughly similar Cadence to what we
6857s	had in 0.8 X patches
6861s	um I'm not gonna put a number that sorry
6863s	uh I am curious to know how many devs
6866s	you had when you started creating Le how
6868s	soon did you expand the team
6869s	um so like
6870s	a brief overview because I think I'm
6873s	really far behind here I'm running out
6874s	of time
6875s	um there was
6877s	uh like the initial starting was uh like
6881s	two people
6883s	um and that pretty quickly in a couple
6885s	months expanded to uh about six seven
6888s	people somewhere in that range maybe
6890s	eight people
6892s	um and then there was uh
6894s	uh let's say a seven to ten person size
6896s	team that we had
6899s	um that lasted
6902s	uh
6904s	a few months at least
6907s	eight months a year almost probably
6911s	um
6913s	I got up it got up to about 20 people
6915s	pretty quickly
6916s	um and at this point like technically
6918s	everyone's
6920s	uh no at that point at that point we
6922s	started hiring people that was when
6923s	people like started getting paid I think
6928s	because initially started out as just
6929s	like evenings and weekends do what we
6931s	can have fun with it project
6934s	even through Kickstarter we were all
6936s	just like
6938s	um
6940s	like all of a sudden real jobs real jobs
6943s	normal jobs other jobs there we go
6948s	day jobs
6952s	uh will there be any quality of life
6954s	items in the shop no I think you mean
6957s	MTX shop so real money purchasing
6959s	quality of life no
6961s	um so I got stash bug I had to do some
6963s	weird stuff to get it back problem is I
6965s	can't edit the category now I feel the
6967s	edit eventually with a fix I'm working
6969s	on it I'm hoping to fix all of it uh
6971s	anything you can share about future
6973s	upset items no I want to see I want to
6977s	say I love the music and the game I've
6980s	always wanted to ask Dev how do you go
6982s	about sound design oh I'm super good for
6984s	the wrong person to ask I do want to get
6985s	sound design on here uh to talk a little
6987s	more if you like about music there's a
6989s	few sweet posts the I just noticed the
6991s	spinny thing is glitching hard
6995s	um
6996s	there's there's a few a few posts on our
6998s	forums about
7000s	um music design
7002s	um I think a little bit on sound design
7004s	too so there's some I was starting the
7005s	forums and look on the dev blog uh
7007s	category
7009s	uh has there been any recent arpgs that
7011s	you have seen with an idea and thought
7013s	hey that's a good idea I've done your
7015s	own spin on it no
7019s	uh someone else may have on the team but
7022s	um
7024s	not not personally no
7028s	um

7069s	I can't edit my display name to see that
7071s	that if that's an issue

7080s	just just like reply to that just get
7082s	more help to to get it sorted but
7085s	um
7085s	I can't help you with support stuff here
7087s	I'm sorry
7089s	oh any plans that legendary potential
7091s	five for the steel diving settings none
7092s	of the moment but you can leave
7093s	suggestions on the forums any plans
7095s	regarding working on the feeling of
7097s	density per map yeah I kind of mentioned
7099s	that earlier I hope that was a good
7100s	enough answer I will be will uh be added
7104s	tier 8 9 10 affixes to the game I mean
7107s	ever's a long time we have no plans for
7109s	it at the moment
7111s	um will certain mobs get if value uh
7113s	evaluation of their HP pool for instance
7115s	the Big Boys with The Rock and the clubs
7118s	they are too tanky
7119s	um maybe
7120s	suggestions of the forums I I don't have
7122s	any specific details on that I know so
7124s	there's like a bajillion times and I'm
7125s	sorry like there's there's a lot of
7127s	stuff we're working on right now is like
7128s	critical fixes to improve stability
7132s	um and a lot of these little
7134s	um balance Things Are
7136s	uh not as important as just making sure
7139s	people can play the game right now
7141s	um so there's a lot of stuff that's sort
7142s	of
7143s	been pushed back a little bit while we
7145s	work on those things
7147s	uh now that you've finally released
7148s	multiplayer how much bigger are patches
7150s	going to be in terms of content compared
7152s	to patch eight five
7155s	um
7158s	A5 was pretty small
7160s	so
7162s	probably pretty decent I'd say
7165s	uh well I have a damage overtime
7167s	calculation on my character sheet but
7169s	not an elemental damage over time
7170s	uh are and are they different in the in
7173s	calculation um so damage over time stats
7175s	apply to your Elemental damage over time
7177s	but your Elemental damage over time
7178s	doesn't necessarily apply to generic
7180s	damage over time depending on what it is
7181s	if it's Elemental skill or not
7183s	um
7184s	we put more generic stats in the
7186s	character sheet some of the more
7187s	specific ones did not make it in
7192s	I'm just gonna put a different one up
7193s	here because that one's been up there
7194s	for a long time
7196s	uh she keeps on missing this one sorry
7199s	if it's already been answered it's okay
7201s	are there plans to make set items more
7202s	relevant in the late game and we do know
7204s	that this is a frequent feedback that
7206s	synonyms are not awesome
7207s	oh my gosh I just realized I'm at the
7209s	bottom of the scroll it's exactly time
7210s	up oh did I make it I think I made it
7212s	how can I support you more than buying
7214s	the game loving it um the thing I always
7216s	say to people if they're if they want to
7217s	support us other than just buying the
7218s	game and money sort of stuff is like
7220s	just be an awesome helpful member of the
7222s	community if someone's struggling it
7224s	doesn't know what to do give them a
7225s	suggestion
7227s	um engage in healthy debates on the
7229s	forums where you'd make the topic
7231s	instead of the person you know just
7232s	being a positive member of the community
7234s	is very helpful
7236s	um because people want to be part of
7238s	positive communities and yeah
7242s	uh any thoughts on a guild or Group
7244s	trade faction for post 1.0 faction
7247s	reputation system wow I think let's
7249s	let's get the first base version out
7251s	first and then we can talk about other
7252s	stuff but
7254s	um yes we've thought about it
7255s	extensively and there are very many
7256s	problems with it
7258s	um in the future will unique items have
7260s	more effective
7262s	on builds and ways to change their play
7264s	style of builds
7266s	um I think there's a lot of uniques that
7268s	I'm gonna say on average generally
7271s	probably not much different but maybe
7272s	some
7274s	um I think there's a lot of uniques that
7276s	have very heavy impact on builds and
7278s	play Styles so um
7281s	I I don't know how much more impactful
7284s	uniques could be than what the more
7286s	impactful uniques we have are
7288s	hopefully that makes sense anyways
7291s	anyways that'll about two for me today
7292s	y'all have been wonderful thank you for
7294s	coming out I appreciate having y'all
7296s	here
7298s	um I hope you had fun I know I did I'll
7300s	be back next time uh next week I may
7304s	actually be starting an hour late
7306s	um we've got a bit of an internal
7308s	company event happening at the exact
7310s	time my stream starts and I want to be
7311s	part of it
7312s	um so I might might delay just a touch
7315s	we'll see what happens
7317s	um
7318s	we'll put out a a social thing that says
7322s	what time it'll be at though for sure
7324s	um
7325s	I think
7330s	uh let's go find someone to say hi to
7332s	you
7336s	if you have any more questions uh that I
7338s	didn't answer just skipped or didn't
7339s	answer them the way you were hoping how
7341s	it's complete as you'd like or I kind of
7343s	gloss over them because it is a little
7344s	bit of a quicker format
7346s	um
7347s	our Discord there's an asset divs
7349s	Channel I try to uh be in there as much
7352s	as possible answer as many questions as
7354s	possible
7355s	um if it's the middle of the night in
7356s	North America I'm probably not on
7359s	and uh the ask the
7362s	um ask the community generally beside it
7364s	there are extremely helpful people there
7367s	is from here
7371s	I can do it from here wonderful
7373s	um extremely helpful people they're very
7375s	knowledgeable
7376s	um speaking of more knowledgeable people
7378s	than me about the game uh we're gonna
7380s	say hi to Lizard And if you have
7382s	technical questions about how something
7383s	works or it doesn't work he'll probably
7385s	know better than I do
7386s	so uh have a great day everyone I'll see
7389s	you next week a little later start the
7390s	normal
7392s	um
