45s	on that video
48s	sorry just one second
52s	it was
56s	mao mao
57s	i'm playing
58s	mammoths reperform death seal build
63s	and i definitely
64s	look through all of the nodes on the
66s	tree and i know exactly how it works
68s	perfectly already
70s	yep yep
72s	yep
73s	um
75s	so yeah
79s	what what why am i playing this build
81s	because i think it sounds like it's fun

87s	so yeah we're playing this
89s	exactly this will be fun
90s	we are um our gear is pretty great
95s	um
99s	i don't know if we can take on hundreds
100s	empowered yet or not but it might be
103s	worth a shot
105s	if you want to see the build uh
106s	exclamation mark build is working for
108s	this one in the description
111s	uh and we are short void resistance so
113s	we're going to just try and go to the
115s	black sun
116s	and just like try and get the void
117s	resistance
118s	uh
122s	blessing because why not right give it a
123s	shot thank you very much ren remax has
126s	reset for one year that's your one year
128s	you've been here for a whole year your
129s	anniversary is today congratulations
132s	thank you very much
134s	glad to have you with us i also got a
135s	brand new keyboard
139s	i thought
141s	they do have backlit keyboards and i'm
142s	just an idiot who didn't order a backlit
144s	keyboard
145s	and i'm sad but oh my god it feels so
148s	good
150s	that like
153s	i can live with it
155s	we're gonna try and power and see what
156s	happens i might get my butt handed to me
159s	we're about to find out
162s	multiplayer win multiplayer win patch
164s	when when they're ready
166s	um obviously it won't be for a while
167s	still there's
169s	nothing's changed on timeline really
172s	ellie branded keyboard when oh
181s	uh yep i said should death seal
183s	shouldn't i instead of just uh not using
185s	the main part of the build
188s	my goodness
189s	i didn't actually test this out at all
191s	before uh before coming on stream so the
193s	the damage is just immense
198s	well destiel's rocking
202s	that's crazy talk
210s	it's crazy talk
221s	this is an empowered model i'm only
222s	level 84.
226s	i love it oh
236s	still taking damage
238s	lots of it
244s	but my goodness
247s	oh i slipped out a form
255s	not good
258s	this is a this is a flashy build
262s	i'm having fun with it
266s	what kind of questions can i ask about
267s	the game i mean you can ask anything you
269s	want as long as it's not like
272s	mean or racist or derogatory or
276s	you know like i might i might not answer
278s	in everything but as long as you're not
280s	just being an absolute jerk i'll uh
283s	you're welcome to ask just about
295s	anything i'll do my best to answer it
300s	if you do have a question don't get put
301s	at last epoch game in the question and i
304s	will see it a lot better
307s	a couple here um
313s	i like answering questions about the
315s	patch in multiplayer
319s	i mean i have no problem answering those
320s	questions they're the same every time
327s	did you achieve the success you hope for
329s	i mean you always hope for success of of
331s	like you always hope for more success
333s	and more success right i guess but yeah
335s	like when we first started the project
338s	um
339s	i i guess my initial hope when i first
342s	started was just like to be able to make
344s	an awesome game that's fun to play and i
346s	think we have an awesome game that's fun
347s	to play so
349s	i would already measure it as successful
351s	in my own eyes which is great
354s	um pretty well everything that happens
355s	from here now it's just gravy and i love
357s	it
364s	just crush that
365s	we just crushed that that's great
379s	i'm a little shy on voidrez
381s	a lot shy on void rose actually
384s	um
384s	so i'm trying i've got my blue filter
386s	set to like point out any idle that has
388s	void res on it and cold rest you
392s	we are using i guess i can go over the
393s	build a little bit here
395s	um
396s	we are using grimoire so it does uh when
400s	we use a potion
402s	um we do have some pretty sweet uh void
404s	necrotic and poison damage
407s	taken reductions um
409s	so there is there is that if if we are
411s	taking a lot of poison or void damage i
412s	can i can just spam potions and it's a
415s	little safer for sure
417s	the only other unique
419s	um
421s	that this build uses is
423s	uh marina's lost soul
425s	um just a good
426s	caster weapon uh but you are damned and
428s	you cast a spell reduced health
430s	increased effect of possessed inflicted
433s	by hungering souls per stack of dent on
434s	you which is nothing um
437s	yeah
439s	cause i didn't use it
443s	stolen the bill
446s	uh right here
451s	oh nothing like that i was just curious
453s	about whether le will also be available
454s	playable on mac systems but we used to
457s	have a mac client
459s	um
460s	and it was it was causing us a lot of
462s	problems to keep up with multiple
465s	release platforms simultaneously we just
467s	didn't have the pipeline for it um
470s	and so we we dropped the mac client a
472s	while ago
474s	quite a while ago actually um thank you
476s	very much
477s	uh
479s	my jiggers
481s	my magickers magic which acouser the
483s	jacuzzi got it nailed
486s	we took a little trip around the around
488s	the yard
490s	but we got there reset for two months
493s	happy friday thank you very much glad to
494s	have you with us as always i didn't say
496s	it uh all of our streams are for charity
498s	so literally everything that comes in
499s	from the stream goes to this bad boy
501s	above my head here
503s	um which we're we're going for oceans
505s	right now we do do charity every month
507s	so this month it's it's oceans and i
509s	love oceans
511s	i live surrounded by one so uh
514s	yeah gotta love it
516s	um
517s	as far as being available on mac systems
519s	it you can
520s	um
523s	i'm pretty sure there's people in the
524s	forum that already have a way to still
526s	play it on mac um i'm not exactly sure
528s	how they're doing it i can't remember
529s	but
531s	i'm pretty sure it is functional on a
532s	mac if you a little bit of a roundabout
535s	way but we don't have a mac specific
536s	client
539s	i
540s	just bought le really enjoying it
541s	struggling a bit with getting resists
543s	etc up compared to other apgs but i'm
545s	sure it's my own ignorance is a rule of
547s	thumb with missing or keeping going
548s	uh you get it eventually well um there's
552s	one thing i will say if you're new you
553s	may not be if you're like a an rpg
555s	veteran or just play them before um you
558s	may be putting a little bit too much
559s	weight on resistances they are very
561s	important to have for sure
564s	um but in most arpg's um
568s	if you have say you're going to take 100
570s	damage and you have 75 resistance you're
573s	going to take 25 damage instead but then
576s	say you have 50 resistance instead
578s	you're taking 50 damage instead so that
580s	last 25 percent of resistance between 75
582s	and 50 actually
584s	halves the damage you take from that
586s	element um as it says in the tooltip
588s	here enemies get one percent penetration
590s	resistance per level up to level 75. so
592s	at level 75 and above they have 75
594s	penetration built into it this is not
596s	something you can overcome at all it's
597s	just inherent to it um
599s	so effectively you have zero resistance
601s	at level 75 plus if you have cap
604s	resistances so
606s	each one percent of resistance actually
607s	only deals one percent more damage
609s	instead of
610s	way more so it's um the last percentages
613s	of your resistance are not as they're
615s	not more important than the first
616s	percentages of your resistance um so
619s	it's still very good to have and still
620s	very useful to have but it's not
622s	as mandatory as um
625s	in in like diablo 2 for example
628s	or grim dawn group john was a
629s	there was a lot of resistances you
631s	needed in grim dawn
633s	to um
634s	to just
635s	you know
636s	survive
642s	oh
643s	first unique here what's that wardrobe
644s	yeah
653s	one thing i like this build does is it
654s	takes in reperform it takes the node
657s	that splits reap
658s	off as a movement skill from transplant
661s	because we're not using reap as a
662s	primary damage source but we are using
664s	it as an as a separate um movement
667s	movement ability
669s	so it splits their cooldowns off which i
671s	really i really enjoy
700s	all right
705s	trading win when it's ready uh i got set
707s	eyes when reinstalling computer and
709s	taking saves uh and thinking saves were
711s	on our servers yeah they are not uh
713s	thinking that due to logging in
715s	something of the game yeah saves are all
717s	local at the moment
719s	multiplayer saves will be online
722s	online online offline offline
735s	for the next question speaking of
736s	doubling grim dawn is ellie going to
738s	have mod support like those fine games
740s	if you said before i think it was yes
743s	um
745s	we don't plan on okay so first off i
747s	wouldn't say double 2 has mod support
749s	i think there's a few people that have
750s	worked extremely hard to ram mods down
754s	the throat of diablo 2 and have done a
757s	phenomenal job of it
759s	um
760s	but mod support might be a little
762s	generous to what's there
765s	um
767s	i think uh
768s	i i do think that mods are a great way
770s	for
771s	um communities to like extend the life
773s	of a game and to to keep exploring
776s	what's possible in inside of a framework
778s	and an engine and and all those sorts of
780s	things are like
782s	i love i love the ability to mod a game
784s	i play i play a lot of um civ 6
787s	if i'm just like want to relax and chill
789s	out and i i play six with
791s	dozens of mods on it
793s	um
797s	and
799s	that game has mod support for sure
802s	um
804s	we don't really plan on having
806s	at least initially primary mod support
808s	where we're like actively planning
810s	specific things to say like okay this is
813s	how we're going to support modders in
815s	our community it's instead it is um
820s	we're not going to do anything to
821s	intentionally obstruct it
824s	um
826s	if we take an action that does obstruct
827s	it it's for a specific other reason and
830s	unfortunately modding is a casualty of
832s	that but not as a
834s	um
835s	like we're not working against modding
837s	but we're not gonna unfortunately do
838s	anything to help it at first any either
841s	so like
845s	really it's just not a high enough
846s	priority thing for us to do
850s	um because we gotta work on the on the
851s	initial game first
855s	um it's what it is
857s	so
859s	no support at least initially
861s	um
862s	but it's not like we're gonna
864s	do everything we can to stop it or
866s	anything like that oh my goodness
868s	uh that was a real close uh to death
871s	there
883s	i'm just gonna stand over here
886s	rip that a little bit
889s	yeah we are using the chronic converted
891s	rip line and we'll say that as well
898s	uh when will training be ready
901s	i have no timeline that i can share when
902s	it'll be ready
904s	do you not know
907s	ooh cold res on a little charm
909s	a little bit of charm we do not need
912s	poison res health regen
915s	we'll take water attention cold res for
917s	sure
923s	um
925s	you know we need that xp
932s	if don't forget if you have questions
933s	put atlas game in the question and i'll
935s	see it better i do see the first time
936s	chatters pretty easily as well
953s	my goodness the explosions are
955s	everywhere
957s	what belts
959s	what is it another wardrobe
964s	i didn't pick up the first one they're
965s	like you want another
967s	one ah
969s	um
972s	oh what's this
974s	hmm
983s	all the stuff that drops red right now
985s	for my loot filter is uh
988s	probably going to be pretty darn good
991s	i'll take it
1005s	that's that lack of void res coming
1007s	through right there eh
1014s	whoa
1027s	ouch e all right is it only trying to
1029s	simplify the massive chore of grim dawn
1031s	resistances are i mean that's not the
1034s	intent behind it specifically no but
1036s	like
1037s	um yeah it is a simplified version
1039s	has pretty intense resistance
1041s	requirements
1042s	um
1043s	there's a lot there
1070s	this is one thing that i'm not a huge
1073s	lp on that a huge fan of uh builds like
1075s	this is the um the health bar constantly
1078s	being like pretty low it just always
1080s	makes me so nervous i know it's like a
1082s	free health bar and there's another one
1083s	underneath i'm just like
1086s	i'm almost dead i'm almost dead all the
1088s	time
1089s	it's a really fun build there's a lot
1090s	going on there's um a lot of active
1093s	buttons to press and i really like that
1094s	in a build
1096s	like i'm using basically every key i
1098s	have
1099s	big fan
1100s	uh when will there be some sort of patch
1102s	where the game runs on lower spec
1103s	systems i've been reading a lot about
1105s	people having best cpu gpus and they run
1108s	too hot yeah so
1110s	um
1112s	for example right now i'm running on
1114s	frame rates they're smooth enough that i
1115s	have no issues whatsoever while
1117s	streaming on a four-year-old i7 and a
1120s	gtx 1080 ti
1123s	so it's like a decent system and it was
1125s	a really good system four years ago um
1130s	it's it it is
1132s	not overly consistent with the uh the
1135s	problems we have there are some settings
1137s	that make things a lot better um
1139s	i will say that
1142s	like i'm not running on a shabby
1143s	resolution either but um streamer mode
1146s	helps a lot for frame rates right there
1148s	that does it does basically turns vsync
1150s	on and limits the frame rate
1153s	which i know some people don't like but
1154s	you know what it helps a lot
1156s	uh next patch will have a ton of
1159s	um
1163s	a ton of really small changes that will
1166s	help with frame rates
1168s	and
1169s	a couple bigger ones too so like i mean
1171s	this is what we've been saying for a
1172s	while there's we're working pretty hard
1173s	on frame rate stuff performance is a big
1176s	ticket item for us
1178s	it's really important
1181s	so
1181s	next patch will help a lot i can't
1183s	guarantee that it's going to work on low
1186s	powered systems like um i actually think
1188s	that our recommend or minimum system
1190s	requirements that are on uh steam are
1193s	probably too low still oh
1197s	i died
1199s	well
1200s	um i think the two is so i do have a
1203s	system that's very similar to that one
1204s	and i can run it on it and it's some of
1207s	those things we're like it technically
1208s	runs
1209s	it's not great
1213s	so i'd like to i'd like to get that
1214s	running better on lower system on that
1216s	low of the system i don't think we'd
1217s	ever lower that requirement though
1220s	um
1223s	and maybe if we get enough performance
1225s	movements yeah sure
1228s	all right have you considered adding
1229s	base mana region to the game in some
1231s	ways such as through masteries
1232s	particularly some like shaman are
1233s	desperate for mana region i i think that
1236s	um
1237s	like you're talking about flat mana
1239s	region
1241s	uh
1243s	the short answer like
1245s	have you considered anything probably
1248s	in this case yes we've considered it um
1252s	is it going to happen uh
1253s	probably not anytime soon if at all
1256s	um
1261s	i i i think that
1265s	it can create
1267s	pretty and like
1269s	i i don't think that i understand i hear
1271s	what you're saying about the the man of
1272s	problems on shaman i don't think that's
1274s	the solution to the man of problems on
1276s	shaman
1278s	if that makes any sense
1286s	that would be a solution but i don't
1288s	think that's the solution we'd go with
1296s	death seals damage is just so
1297s	unbelievably huge
1301s	it's great
1303s	that's what the deeps are at like turn
1305s	that on it's just
1307s	boom boom could you
1310s	all right
1318s	as we said before 12 months in a row
1320s	mike
1321s	[Music]
1323s	glad to have you here buddy
1324s	glad to have you here
1336s	seen a few one years pop up it's pretty
1338s	cool
1350s	when we started doing this
1352s	the second time like this this stretch
1354s	of doing it it was sort of uh like we'll
1356s	see if anyone even cares and maybe we'll
1358s	do it for a few months
1363s	turns out people care
1366s	which is cool
1368s	uh how is multiple testing going pretty
1369s	great actually are the community testers
1371s	able to test at any time um as of a few
1374s	hours ago yes
1379s	uh is there any set date for 1.0 last
1381s	epoch we have an internal goal
1384s	so we have a like
1386s	a month that we're like we'd like to hit
1389s	that month
1390s	um
1393s	but there's not like uh
1395s	this is it
1396s	and not something that we're ready to
1397s	share
1401s	not much of a q a if i don't chat i'm
1403s	sorry i'm a little bit behind if you
1405s	have any questions please put at last
1406s	epoch game in the question
1410s	i'll scroll up and find your other
1411s	question probably
1416s	oh i did answer your question
1419s	did a whole bunch about it
1431s	all right what is the sweet spot for a
1433s	number of keys to pressure in the game
1435s	grim dawn some builds suffer from piano
1437s	uh because too many buttons and in pubes
1439s	some builds are just one button builds
1440s	um i mean so we only have five buttons
1442s	that you can press in the game as is
1444s	uh so it's it's never really gonna get
1447s	crazy oh like six if you include potions
1450s	and seven if you include movement and
1452s	eight if you include the dungeon
1454s	abilities so you can get up to eight in
1455s	some like extreme scenarios
1457s	um this is a pretty heavy
1461s	button build here
1463s	i would say
1464s	um
1465s	i'm having a ton of fun with it there
1466s	are some builds that people play in
1468s	epoch that are one button builds if you
1469s	really want them
1472s	uh we try to incentivize
1475s	uh three four button builds as like
1477s	things you're using frequently
1481s	um
1482s	but we don't force
1485s	it think and i think it's important that
1487s	people can like find builds that that
1490s	sit in the sweet spot for them
1493s	if that makes any sense
1498s	and we tr i guess we try and take
1501s	um
1502s	have nodes in skill sheets because each
1504s	each skill has a giant tree that goes
1506s	with it um we try and have but uh have
1509s	nodes in each tree that's like this is
1512s	going to make this a more active skill
1513s	it's a less active skill so like a good
1515s	example is uh primalist companions when
1518s	you summon the maximum number of
1519s	companions you can summon
1521s	uh the companion skill turns into an
1525s	ability that you can activate so like
1526s	with the wolves they howl uh as an
1528s	example and it like uh buffs all the
1531s	other uh all you and all of your other
1532s	minions
1534s	and um
1536s	there's a node in the in the wolf skill
1538s	tree that means that they just like will
1540s	howl on cooldown basically i'm pretty
1542s	sure that's still there
1544s	um if it's not it was there one time
1547s	and um so it kind of takes that button
1549s	away from being a button you're using
1553s	oh come on survive
1560s	i'm just gonna stand over here you stand
1562s	over there we'll get along great
1569s	come on uh yeah
1576s	uh how will you find parties will there
1578s	be a system like dt for creating rooms
1580s	uh currently we don't have uh like a
1583s	room lobby system um we have so right
1586s	right now in our our like what's what's
1588s	live what's testing right now the only
1590s	way to join a party is to just um to
1592s	message someone uh to add like add them
1595s	to your friends list
1596s	and uh like join join the party with
1599s	them that way um through the menus that
1601s	are in game
1602s	um we do want to have and we're still
1604s	planning to have um
1606s	major towns like uh
1608s	uh end of time be uh be a hub where you
1610s	can actually find people um so you can
1613s	like just you you get in the game and
1615s	then you find your party in the world
1617s	instead of having a menu
1621s	little exalted bows up there
1626s	might be a little tough though i'm
1628s	noticing this a little tricky let's go
1629s	let's go for these experience nodes down
1630s	here
1631s	uh let's start with this one
1633s	what is this
1634s	glancing blow that's fine we can do
1636s	glancing blow
1639s	autocad seems like a common uh
1641s	recommendation on a lot of builds are
1643s	you considering building it into the
1644s	game um
1647s	once again with like the consideration
1648s	question i mean yeah we've considered it
1650s	um
1651s	it's not something that we're actively
1653s	looking at doing
1655s	um
1656s	oh if i could make it down the slope
1658s	we've um
1661s	we kind of look at uh
1663s	like numlock autocast tricks or auto
1665s	hockey autocad strix or like keyboard
1667s	macros and and mouse macros things like
1670s	that just like autocast them as as being
1673s	like fine
1674s	to do like we're not against it being a
1677s	thing
1678s	but we're not huge on that style of
1681s	um i guess gameplay is being the like
1684s	the primary recommended thing for
1686s	quite a lot of builds
1689s	and like we even we do we do actually
1691s	have it built into
1692s	um to some
1694s	some builds at this point
1697s	uh
1698s	what is it
1700s	uh enchant enchant weapon has an auto
1703s	cast node on the uh on the skill trick
1704s	actually
1706s	i guess there's an example of us being
1707s	like okay well this is if you don't want
1709s	to have this button on your bar you can
1710s	do it that way but really we want to
1712s	take those abilities because there are
1713s	several abilities that really thrive in
1715s	an auto cast scenario
1717s	um
1718s	and have their sort of default
1719s	functionality be less conducive to that
1722s	um
1724s	and and not that it's impossible but
1725s	just maybe it's not optimal to autocast
1728s	it
1730s	um so we're
1732s	that's that's the plan that's the goal
1733s	is to have autocast be
1735s	um if you really want to go ahead but if
1738s	you're if you're going to try and push
1740s	the
1741s	the tiffany top of the everything or if
1743s	you are just pushing your build as far
1745s	as it can go you're probably going to
1746s	get a little bit more mileage out of it
1748s	by using it intentionally instead of on
1750s	an auto cast
1754s	and that's that just comes from changing
1756s	the
1757s	like the functionality of the
1759s	ability itself
1763s	that's a cool item i do like this item
1774s	i was more melee focused on my reap it'd
1776s	be great
1778s	but i'm a caster
1781s	feel my wrath
1784s	transplant actually does decent damage
1785s	it's funny
1805s	[Music]
1807s	i think base management can interesting
1808s	unique with drawbacks obviously yeah
1810s	it's
1812s	if we were going to put it anywhere i
1813s	think that's a good place to put it
1816s	what class is this this is a lich
1821s	here's my passive grid
1823s	so i've got um some points in base
1825s	acolyte and then the rest of my points
1826s	have done the lich
1828s	and i'm putting points into this right
1830s	now is my next it's my next node
1832s	but i'm filling up get that necro pen
1843s	are you guys ready to advance announce
1845s	0.9 release date yet no i believe last
1848s	month you were thinking it would be
1850s	earlier than september never said that
1851s	but you were getting pretty close to
1853s	that no
1855s	on a scale of one to ten what is your
1857s	opinion of on scales of one to ten um i
1860s	think the problem with scales on one to
1862s	ten frequently is defining what one and
1866s	what 10 is so my opinion on scales of 1
1868s	to 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 is either 1
1871s	or 10
1872s	based on what you've defined 1 and 10 as
1875s	and based on what people have defined 1
1877s	and ten as in their one to ten uh scales
1880s	so i have no idea if you think that one
1882s	is the best or ten is the best the way
1884s	you phrased that so i give
1886s	your scale of one to ten
1889s	ten
1889s	because i think that's the worst of this
1892s	one in this way of putting it
1895s	yeah
1897s	i don't know
1901s	feels like a weird question to give you
1902s	a weird answer hope you liked it
1905s	this is a dead end isn't it yet
1907s	always go up there don't i
1912s	i actually do get frustrated with uh
1915s	surveys and uh wordings a lot
1920s	was one i had recently i can't what it
1921s	was but
1923s	um
1926s	i couldn't figure out if i should answer
1928s	one ten or five and that's the weirdest
1930s	one where you're just like i have no
1931s	idea what you're asking for
1933s	and like i either it was about balance
1935s	of something
1940s	and i'm like because they're talking
1941s	about balance like i think the bounce is
1943s	really good it might actually be 10 or 5
1946s	because it's right in the middle of the
1948s	way they were to do things and i was i
1949s	was confused
1952s	turns out i should have put one and i
1953s	did
1960s	that that health is real nice they do
1961s	like we do like health here
1964s	i could slide that in vertically there
1969s	should we do that we don't need this
1971s	poison res the vitality is kind of
1972s	useless
1978s	still way enough poison
1982s	and three vitality is probably worth
1984s	eight percent increase health
1986s	you know over 2k now
1990s	are repetitive stress injury carpal
1993s	tunnel arthritis and other such things
1994s	taken into consideration when making
1995s	design decisions such as avoiding skill
1997s	design that encourages auto casting yes
2000s	absolutely um
2003s	and um like it is interesting that like
2006s	i've just said like we'd like to
2007s	discourage auto casting in general yeah
2009s	and
2010s	we do try to make it so it's not the
2012s	only way to do things right like we try
2014s	to make things um
2019s	like different ways to do it i think
2020s	there's just too much
2022s	in the way of auto casting right now
2023s	that's available
2025s	it's pretty nice necklace
2029s	um
2030s	also
2031s	the reason we have uh controller support
2034s	is because people have
2036s	uh repetitive strain injuries on the
2037s	team the
2038s	like the game director has um a
2041s	repetitive strain injury from playing
2042s	too much diablo two as a kid and so when
2044s	we started the project he was like we're
2047s	doing controller support
2049s	period
2051s	um
2053s	yeah so yes we do take repetitive strain
2055s	injuries into account
2069s	and there's a big difference between
2071s	having
2072s	like
2073s	an ability where you have to spam it
2075s	every tenth of a second in order to be
2077s	optimal and an ability where you're
2079s	intentionally casting it every 10
2081s	seconds
2082s	um you know like that's i think there's
2084s	a big difference there and we'd like to
2086s	be in the latter camp
2091s	and
2092s	salmon jorah sub thank you very much
2096s	welcome to the party glad to have you
2097s	here
2100s	you you oh yeah the dead heel
2109s	somebody who doesn't know um death seal
2112s	basically uh
2114s	pumps our
2115s	get we get more damage for the amount of
2117s	missing health and death steel stops our
2119s	health from going up so it forces our
2121s	health to like stay low and and gives us
2123s	a ton of damage and just starts pumping
2125s	out damage there's the proper tooltip
2129s	um and we've got in our in our skill 240
2130s	just like automatically activates the
2132s	the death wave over and over and over
2133s	again
2134s	um
2136s	so that's where that's where a lot of
2137s	our damage is coming from
2141s	and then reperform gives us a second
2143s	health pool so that um when you die
2147s	in reperform you get popped into normal
2149s	form um and when you're in reform your
2151s	health is constantly decaying
2153s	so you you have this sort of
2155s	um
2156s	these things pushing your health low and
2157s	bonuses for health being low but if you
2159s	do
2160s	die
2161s	um
2163s	you you don't die you just go back to
2165s	normal
2172s	then you're pretty vulnerable
2176s	all right
2177s	are there any plans for twitch plug-in
2178s	like pue gear sharing yeah um we'd love
2181s	to do that and i'm sure we'll eventually
2183s	get there i wouldn't say it's a core
2185s	feature um so we're still a ways off
2188s	from having that be something in the
2189s	game but um
2191s	yeah it's it's great
2194s	um i think that's a really
2196s	it's especially for games where you want
2197s	to encourage streaming and encourage
2199s	minion uh minions
2201s	um i can encourage minion builds we do
2203s	like to encourage minion builds we were
2205s	just talking about
2206s	um
2208s	new minion builds to create actually
2210s	um
2212s	but what i'm trying to say if you do if
2214s	you do want to encourage twitch and
2216s	twitch streaming and community
2217s	interaction with with twitch streaming i
2219s	think it's a very important tool and i'm
2220s	sure we'll get there eventually but uh
2222s	we don't have anyone working on it yet
2226s	uh do you see more damage takes me add
2228s	to in this significant future ah
2231s	we've already got seven that's quite a
2233s	few
2235s	like um
2237s	like these these four are pretty core
2241s	poison's very common
2243s	um and then having a fifth one that's
2246s	sort of in the realm of necrotic and
2247s	void is pretty common as well or sixth
2250s	one i guess um
2252s	and and then and then getting a seventh
2254s	one is pretty rare and then you get
2256s	something like grim dawn which has i
2258s	don't know how many it has now
2260s	it's more anyways um
2264s	i just actually on a scale of one to
2266s	five one to ten five is not the middle
2267s	you're absolutely right
2268s	um i always start counting at zero
2272s	um but yes
2275s	the uh
2280s	what's it gonna say uh
2281s	[Music]
2283s	that's what your thoughts is funny uh
2285s	more damage takes i think it's unlikely
2286s	we'd add more damage dates definitely
2288s	not impossible
2290s	um
2292s	the the damage types that come to mind
2293s	like shadow and holy are the next two
2295s	that are like yeah those could be on the
2297s	list and we kind of treat holy as like
2300s	fire and lightning
2301s	um when you get like holy skills they're
2303s	usually firebase sometimes they'll have
2304s	a lightning sub theme to them or they'll
2305s	be lightning damage and that's that's in
2307s	paladin a lot and then our shadow is
2309s	void right um
2311s	and there's there's not like i'm not
2313s	sure what the next damage type comes
2315s	after that is
2318s	um
2320s	it's definitely not impossible but uh i
2322s	would say unlikely
2326s	there has to be a really good reason for
2328s	it you know like we already don't have
2330s	many classes like it would have to be
2331s	like creating a new class or like three
2333s	new masters simultaneously use this
2334s	damage type or something like void and
2336s	necrotic damage are already pretty
2338s	underused
2340s	um partially because there's only one
2341s	void class at the moment which is point
2343s	night and there's no
2344s	um
2345s	like we're still missing through the
2346s	masteries like so necrotic and void
2349s	are
2350s	pretty light
2352s	on who uses what
2354s	but they can be added onto pretty easily
2356s	in future masteries as well
2363s	and aaron i know what you're doing right
2364s	now so when you watch this back later no
2366s	i did not just confirm it
2383s	all right
2384s	uh what system do you think will
2386s	hopefully carry the 1.0 launch maybe
2388s	model at the arena or multiplayer or
2390s	something else totally okay to skip this
2392s	question if it's weird no i understand
2394s	what you're talking about and um
2402s	uh i i do kind of want to skip it um
2406s	i'd love to answer it though
2409s	we kind of just want everything to be a
2411s	little bit better everything to be a
2412s	little bit more polished everything to
2413s	be a little bit more complete
2415s	um i think that's what's going to
2417s	going to be the big push on 1.0 it's a
2419s	lot of it will be
2420s	a push to bring a lot of new people into
2421s	the game
2422s	um
2423s	maybe there's
2424s	new dungeons new monoliths
2426s	um things like that new features in the
2428s	monolith new features in dungeons things
2430s	like that um
2432s	just getting those experiences to be
2434s	better uh i think i think having
2437s	and i this could change with still ways
2439s	out um but i think having
2442s	fewer
2443s	major end game systems at launch
2446s	like i i don't think it would be smart
2447s	for us to do an entire monolith level
2450s	end game system for launch um
2453s	like like a second like like it'd be
2456s	like if people tried to make a second
2457s	mappings level system
2460s	uh at their after one point launch or
2461s	something like that i don't think i know
2463s	it's different than and now but i i
2465s	don't think that including another
2466s	system that's this expansive and this
2468s	big would be wise at launch
2471s	um something that tied into this maybe
2473s	tied other systems together
2475s	improving the experience of these
2476s	systems that would be good to have
2479s	um
2480s	keeping those gameplay systems that are
2482s	available really strong really tight and
2484s	really interesting um
2486s	because there are a few things missing
2487s	and there are things that people have
2488s	talked about a lot um in like critiques
2491s	of epoch and things like that which
2492s	they're not wrong um
2495s	and and and we we need to get right
2498s	really before we move on to more things
2500s	not move on but like before we start
2502s	adding
2503s	like major end game systems we need to
2504s	make sure the ones we have are really
2506s	awesome
2507s	and i think they're really good right
2509s	now i don't think they're really awesome
2511s	yet
2513s	so i really want to get to the point
2513s	where i can stay confident like that
2515s	okay monolith is really awesome
2519s	it's fun to play it's engaging it's got
2522s	depth and complexity it's
2524s	you know all sorts of things
2541s	i'm really enjoying this build the more
2542s	i play it the more i'm the more
2543s	comfortable i'm getting with it i
2546s	i got the character ready like minutes
2548s	before the stream started so i actually
2550s	started a couple minutes late um usually
2552s	i start five minutes before just to get
2554s	the stream rolling but i started like
2556s	two minutes before because i was like i
2558s	just finished putting it together before
2560s	the stream started so i hadn't actually
2562s	tried any of it yet really
2564s	i'm really enjoying it
2567s	all right and he finds that more stuff
2568s	thing game fun that kind of goes in with
2570s	the question i was just answering which
2571s	is great uh great timing yeah i mean
2573s	um
2574s	we did design the
2576s	uh the the monolith system
2579s	and the dungeon system to be expanded
2581s	upon both in a
2583s	like we can slap down another timeline
2585s	here um
2586s	sense and a we can shuffle these these
2589s	timelines around since and
2591s	um like we can add more more dungeons to
2594s	the world you know like we don't just
2596s	need we've got three right now
2598s	it's really really intentionally set up
2600s	to be able to add more dungeons we want
2601s	to add more dungeons um
2604s	and then also just just more things to
2606s	do inside of the monolith and more ways
2608s	to engage with the monolith and and
2610s	reasons to explore and these are all
2612s	things that um
2615s	i think most people are uh most people
2617s	watching are like yes mike we know
2618s	obviously
2621s	um
2623s	so sorry for being a little bit of a
2624s	broken record
2626s	but yeah
2632s	all right where's the next one is it
2633s	possible to allow us to rebind alt
2636s	as new i have to hold it down a lot as
2639s	an awkward key for me also able to
2641s	choose toggle in the options menu um i
2643s	think those are
2645s	um
2646s	great suggestions i do not
2649s	uh have any idea where things like that
2651s	will happen
2653s	um
2655s	come on
2656s	but yeah i think those are good
2657s	suggestions i think there's a few key
2659s	binding
2660s	things we've done um
2665s	i have pro i would say mistakes i should
2668s	say instead of things we've done
2669s	mistakes we've made with our uh
2671s	keybinding setups and uh code relating
2673s	to those keybinds so like for example
2675s	the the item tooltip
2678s	oh my gosh i am in trouble
2681s	um the item tool tip
2688s	the item tool tip code where it lets you
2690s	use alt
2692s	to
2694s	there we go
2695s	get back in reaper here we go um the
2698s	item tool tip code that lets you when
2700s	you hold alt that changes the um
2703s	the stuff that's there
2705s	uh that is unfortunately using a direct
2708s	reference to the alt key
2709s	um
2712s	and not saying like
2713s	key bound to alt function
2716s	which all the other keys are which is
2718s	what lets us rebind them so like this
2721s	like w is not
2723s	like the the thing that says when you
2724s	press w uses your second skill slot is
2727s	not
2728s	the w key it's the second slot action
2731s	um and then our keybinding system uh has
2734s	w as the second slot action key
2737s	that maps to it so um alts control left
2741s	click
2743s	and shift
2745s	don't actually go through that mapping
2746s	system right now
2748s	and they should
2749s	um
2751s	it's it's just it's quite a large job to
2753s	convert it over and so we haven't got
2755s	there yet
2765s	from game design perspective what is the
2767s	point of having multiple resistances
2769s	instead of grouping them into one
2770s	resistance i think um
2774s	i mean
2776s	i i think it's just more interesting i
2777s	think that's the big i think that's the
2778s	sort of like the easy compound answer
2780s	it's just more interesting if you have
2782s	um if you have one just like resistance
2784s	it's just a damage reduction layer right
2787s	like it's just it's just dr it's just
2789s	percentage vr which we do have as
2790s	another type of defense but having these
2792s	different types
2793s	um
2795s	of resistances that you want to all
2797s	these different defensive pieces that
2798s	you want to
2799s	uh to combine together it creates a
2801s	puzzle with your with your gear
2805s	where if i say i was to take this this
2807s	this um
2808s	this off hand off i was remove this
2809s	catalyst replacing something else that
2811s	didn't have
2812s	this lightning poison and void
2813s	resistance on it something i have to
2815s	find that lightning poison of void
2817s	resistance somewhere else in my gear
2820s	um
2821s	and and if you just have percentage dr
2824s	as
2825s	instead of that i think it uh it
2828s	simplifies things a little bit too much
2832s	and i think that
2835s	yeah just adds a little bit of
2837s	that adds complexity to to the gearing
2839s	system i think
2840s	and it makes it more interesting i think
2846s	yeah
2847s	it's also a thematic thing really um
2852s	like someone someone having like a
2855s	uh like here's a great example just
2858s	having a minion that's physically on
2860s	fire
2862s	being really resistant to fire damage
2864s	but weak to cold damage say for example
2867s	or having um an enemy that's like made
2869s	of plants and having it be really weak
2871s	to fire damage it's just having those
2874s	thematic differences and then being able
2875s	to differentiate the damage types for
2877s	thematic reasons it it it makes it more
2880s	immersive more
2882s	real feeling
2886s	i hadn't really thought about that
2887s	before now though so cool question
2890s	i just sort of accepted it as a given i
2892s	guess
2897s	all those amber mages those are beefy
2898s	amber mages they got the deeps
2909s	okay
2910s	okay where are we going
2913s	amber mages die first
2925s	oh amber may just die first
2941s	my health is just yo-yoing all over the
2943s	place and it's so nerve-wracking i love
2945s	it
2954s	don't love popping out a form ding
2961s	this one
2971s	all right
2975s	could you make the portal slightly more
2976s	responsive played people in the portals
2979s	won't take the first click on it yeah i
2981s	i've noticed this as well and this is
2982s	something we're working on
2991s	happens to me all the time
2993s	i hear you
2994s	if you've got suggestions requests or
2996s	feedback things like that the best place
2997s	for them is the forums
2999s	as i will not remember that you asked
3001s	that at the end of the stream
3014s	all right
3015s	where are we where are we with oh uh
3018s	master sword 1291 welcome back glad to
3020s	have you
3021s	14 months
3025s	wild wild
3029s	very cool
3033s	oh i'm gonna die here
3035s	i'm gonna die i'm gonna run cause i'm
3036s	gonna die if i don't
3040s	those ever made just will just rock my
3042s	world
3053s	okay let's grab a question real quick
3055s	uh with multiplayer testing having
3057s	started how do you feel about builds
3058s	which do not focus on playing solo but
3061s	instead focus more on supportive roles
3062s	such as granting armor with shield throw
3065s	or damage with orb decay love them
3071s	they're great they're pretty cool
3073s	um
3074s	[Music]
3075s	we are we're working so there's there's
3077s	a few cases where they're way too
3079s	freaking good um and so we're we're
3082s	toning some things down a little bit for
3084s	those um there's also cases where um
3086s	if they're not good enough and so we're
3088s	we're profiting up in a different
3089s	situation so we're trying to give more
3090s	options for things like that
3092s	um
3094s	we're trying to create more builds that
3095s	can do that well
3097s	um and there's a couple situations where
3099s	they got out of control and we knew they
3100s	were gonna be out of control so we
3102s	you know
3103s	it was no surprise really
3112s	it's it's another thing to balance and i
3114s	think it's a it's a play style that a
3115s	lot of people really gravitate towards
3117s	um
3119s	and i also really like the
3121s	uh creative ways that people do that
3124s	like you say it's not just about healing
3125s	as as like sort of that support
3127s	archetype it's also about
3129s	um
3130s	like like granting buffs to your allies
3133s	granting debuffs to your enemies things
3134s	like that like it can be support doesn't
3136s	need to be a healer at all
3159s	boom
3160s	goes the dynamite
3169s	all right can we say refinement over
3172s	bloat
3173s	sure that's what that was for sorry
3176s	uh when do we get majessa in monos
3180s	that's that's an interesting uh
3182s	interesting thing and it kind of there's
3183s	there's more reasons why she's not there
3187s	i want to fight her at 400 corruption
3189s	with five damage spots so i can question
3190s	my life decisions
3192s	do that masochist mode i'd really
3194s	question your life decisions
3203s	all right
3205s	i saw that you answered a question on
3206s	transmogs last week it seems that
3208s	transmogs might hurt your ability to
3210s	sell cosmetic mtx i disagree
3213s	and even if it did that's
3215s	game first um
3220s	yeah that's kind of all i have to say
3221s	with that i think that
3223s	um
3227s	having ways in the game to change the
3229s	way your character looks is really
3230s	important
3233s	having to wear
3235s	for the record i actually like the way
3236s	this looks so i'm just gonna take a shot
3237s	at it for fun
3238s	having to wear a silly green hat because
3240s	it's just the best thing to wear
3242s	is kind of sucks right
3245s	i'm afraid to shaco into elbow too i
3247s	actually like the green hat but anyways
3248s	um that's kind of a running joke i think
3251s	uh
3251s	that you like stuck wearing a green hat
3256s	um
3259s	and i think being stuck like like if
3261s	you're stuck in that situation and the
3263s	only way out is to pay five dollars that
3265s	doesn't feel good right
3267s	um
3268s	no we want like mtx to be
3271s	oh i really love the way that looks and
3274s	that's super cool and i wanna i wanna
3275s	incorporate that into how my character
3277s	looks not i'm trying to get away from
3278s	how this looks that makes any sense
3285s	i mean hopefully nothing looks looks bad
3287s	and everything looks cool but maybe just
3288s	something doesn't fit your aesthetic
3290s	maybe it's just to fit your your play
3292s	style and
3293s	uh
3297s	it's just not your jam you'd be like i
3299s	really hate the color green
3301s	which in which case i'm sorry about this
3303s	this uh
3304s	let's play this gameplay video because
3306s	my goodness it's a lot of green it's
3308s	teal i guess you'd
3319s	say wither before me
3339s	oh
3341s	slipped out
3347s	rhyme giant i ain't afraid of you ha ha
3350s	where's your avalanche now
3357s	mike not playing a ryder build that's
3358s	right buddy i'm playing community builds
3363s	i got i got builds lined up for days i
3365s	can't remember what i said last week i
3366s	said what my build is going to be next
3368s	week like two weeks from last week i
3370s	said what would it be
3372s	remember what i said
3374s	there's something cool though
3378s	uh yeah i know how the unity keybinding
3379s	system works we don't use it actually
3381s	unfortunately but you guys can refactor
3383s	yeah we use a different rebinding system
3389s	speaking of a fire minion weak to cold
3392s	you said that isn't hard isn't a hard
3395s	no on no more damage types and you
3397s	mentioned shadow and holy as ones with
3399s	potential i i mean
3401s	i i i mentioned the sort of as like the
3403s	standard types that i see frequently how
3405s	about breaking out water yes considering
3408s	it isn't straightforward or too
3409s	intuitive as to what element lagon is
3411s	slapping you silly with yeah
3413s	you're right waters water's another big
3415s	one
3416s	water is quite often represented as
3418s	physical damage because like
3421s	like if you're getting hit with a big
3422s	column of water what's actually
3424s	happening it's the physical
3426s	like
3428s	it's like being hit with a tree trunk
3429s	you know like you've fallen fall into
3431s	water from high enough being of heights
3432s	like hitting cement
3433s	um
3435s	and so so quantum water damage is done
3436s	as physical
3438s	um but yeah that's that's another one
3440s	that's sort of like
3441s	maybe you can make that work and it's
3443s	just is it i think the question is is
3445s	that worth the extra complexity does
3448s	does the extra complexity of adding
3449s	another damage type um actually increase
3452s	the depth
3455s	um is there like a strong enough
3456s	thematic link to justify that complexity
3460s	if it doesn't add that much depth to to
3462s	the game
3463s	um and i think the answer to that
3465s	question in this situation is no
3469s	but i'm not sure
3485s	all right uh hi can you brainstorm a
3488s	league mechanic in one minute no
3489s	pressure oh gosh
3491s	all right so here's here's the problem
3493s	i'm not gonna do it i'm sorry and and uh
3496s	the reason why
3497s	is because i know that i'm gonna start
3499s	just saying things that are league
3502s	mechanics we've heavily considered and
3504s	are like
3505s	on the list so to speak and i really
3507s	don't want to
3508s	if if i come up with one off often on my
3510s	head i'll be like intentionally coming
3512s	up with one that like we've already said
3513s	no to
3515s	um and like has horrible like problems
3517s	with it because of that so i i i'm sorry
3520s	i'm
3525s	i'm not gonna do it i'm sorry i actually
3527s	really like that question
3530s	i think it's cyan teal is a fairly dark
3533s	green you're right that is cyan
3537s	you're absolutely right you are
3539s	technically correct the best kind of
3542s	correct
3546s	i hear something cool
3548s	i 3d printed
3550s	on ocarina
3551s	yeah
3555s	i'm not i feel like if i play it it's
3557s	going to blast out the audio in this
3560s	i could drop my audio i know zelda's
3561s	lullaby that's it
3566s	will ignite slash bleed have interesting
3568s	mechanics um
3570s	this this is a pretty common question
3571s	actually and and we're looking to
3573s	improve the interactions with the
3574s	igniting bleed because people look at
3576s	poison and they say well okay poison's
3578s	got this cool thing that goes with it
3579s	why can't we have that with igniting
3580s	bleed
3583s	um
3585s	and and there's something to be said for
3587s	simplicity in certain situations so
3589s	having having some that are just like
3590s	that are easy to understand and are just
3592s	the basic
3594s	um forms of those elements i think is
3596s	really interesting now and we do have a
3598s	way to modify ailments absolutely it's
3601s	really it has major performance problems
3604s	with when you're modifying ailments
3605s	applied from
3607s	um different sources like commonly
3609s	applied from different sources so if you
3610s	have if you have um like so for example
3612s	i'm using bone curse right now that is a
3614s	modified element that gets changed based
3616s	on how i've specced the tree
3620s	it's really rare to have bone cures
3621s	applied for more than like for more than
3623s	one source at a time especially in
3624s	single player in multiplayer you can get
3626s	it like up to four sources if you have
3628s	four people rocking bone curse you can
3629s	have it applied
3631s	and and like that's kind of the limit
3632s	but with ignite you can have ignite
3633s	applied from
3635s	hundreds of different sources in
3637s	multiplayer like it's insane because you
3639s	can you can like different minions can
3641s	have different values for the way
3642s	they're applying it and like um each
3644s	player can have different menus applying
3646s	it different ways and like enemies can
3648s	apply to themselves you know like it's
3649s	it's so many different ways that you can
3651s	apply ignite and so being able to so
3653s	modifying ignite based on a skill tree
3656s	thing of like functionality modifying as
3658s	i'm talking about not just damage
3660s	but like functionality modifying it is
3663s	is not really feasible so um if if we
3666s	make something interesting with ignite
3667s	it has to be either like a trigger off
3670s	of ignite so like um damage to ignited
3672s	enemies or um you have a chance to cause
3675s	ignited enemies to bleed or something
3677s	like that like there was this one um i
3678s	think raptors can poisoning uh bleeding
3681s	enemies or something like infecting the
3682s	wound
3683s	um and so there's interesting things we
3685s	can do there with with with modifying it
3688s	on a per
3689s	uh
3691s	like like not just um in general but but
3693s	on like a certain instance basis
3697s	uh and we try and do that as much as we
3699s	can so i think that's really interesting
3704s	and um
3705s	let's say a little bit
3707s	while we're out of re-perform
3709s	all right let's go why not right
3716s	let's go
3720s	oh my goodness run
3730s	he's a bad man
3733s	all right and um
3736s	but yeah like we do want to uh to make
3739s	ignite and
3740s	bleed a little bit more interesting
3741s	because there are some uh
3745s	they are they're basically just damage
3748s	type shifts of each other right now
3750s	that's basically all they are
3753s	um and we did recently make a few
3754s	changes to our ailment system that is um
3758s	that is giving us a couple more tools um
3760s	and we are looking at some some more
3762s	commonly used elements and and some less
3764s	use elements and and changing a few
3765s	things so there are some changes to some
3768s	some
3768s	adjustments being made here and there um
3772s	and we do get the ignite
3774s	um
3775s	bleeds boring feedback
3790s	let me get the next question in
3796s	i here do i might do a dungeon here i'm
3798s	having fun
3809s	well
3811s	that's our transplant reduction
3814s	idol that we're looking for
3817s	six percent's pretty light and the thing
3820s	it gives on top of that is
3822s	poo poo garbage town so uh never mind
3832s	drop those
3837s	i don't need that
3847s	all right there any experience nodes
3849s	around here that we can work towards
3853s	that one but i lost that because i'm
3856s	i'm bad
3858s	exalted
3859s	we're looking for an exalted relic to
3861s	because we do have an lp on our relic
3863s	that we want to
3865s	use you said bowmage i believe yeah that
3868s	was it
3869s	let me write that down
3872s	bow mage
3875s	next week
3877s	thank you
3889s	uh yeah and the
3891s	igniting bleed
3893s	whether they get like special mechanics
3895s	right out of the gate
3897s	it's tough if we're ever going to do
3898s	that on those ones in particular but we
3900s	are we're looking to make ailments in
3901s	general more interesting i think is the
3902s	important part of that
3906s	sorry for my first question to be a
3907s	nagging one but i
3908s	but am i the only one feeling that naked
3910s	primeless looks funny he does look kind
3912s	of funny right
3917s	i think it counts as nagging if it's the
3918s	first time you say it
3931s	it looks he looks a lot better with gear
3932s	i'll say that
3938s	it's cold it's cold we're in the winter
3940s	time so you should
3942s	cover up your prime list he doesn't like
3943s	being naked
3947s	where are we going
3949s	uh this loop around
3952s	it's way up there i might just loop
3954s	around
3988s	i just got absorbed in the gameplay for
3989s	a second there i'm like yeah this is fun
3990s	just playing having fun i forgot i was
3992s	streaming even uh remember when you
3994s	confirmed summoner class
3996s	a summoner class in game before 1.0
3999s	wait
4000s	remember when you confirmed a summoner
4002s	class in game before 1.0 can you tell us
4005s	more details
4007s	i mean there's lots of summoner classes
4011s	so we have the necromancer and the
4014s	beastmaster
4016s	are the two primary summon summoning
4017s	classes
4019s	you can kind of run a summoning forge
4020s	guard as well
4021s	i think i think that's that's doable you
4023s	can kind of run a summoning uh
4026s	rogue it's not very good right now
4030s	but you can run like
4032s	um
4032s	i will say this right right now on
4034s	multiplayer four decoy rogues
4036s	surprisingly powerful
4039s	um you just get like four rows all they
4040s	do is decoy
4042s	uh with like minion damage and stuff
4044s	surprisingly strong
4047s	um
4049s	i don't that'll survive to to it's alive
4052s	unfortunately
4055s	because it's kind of silly
4057s	it's really slow is the big problem with
4058s	it it's slow and it's
4061s	it's not awesome to play
4065s	but it's very safe it's just decoys all
4068s	the time
4078s	usually it gets played like acid flask
4080s	poison heavy as well
4086s	that's gonna be a lot of damage
4099s	all right
4101s	uh do you see that
4103s	uh
4105s	starting with dominaria united set
4107s	jumpstart will now be included in
4109s	standard sets
4112s	no
4117s	what starting with dominaria united so
4120s	it's a set coming out i don't know when
4121s	probably next year or late this year uh

4385s	like a the the mini map level uh maybe
4387s	up of a level where it showed like hot
4389s	spots of like red was really bad and
4391s	green was really good and like orange
4393s	was just okay yellow was pretty good

4438s	health oh
4454s	this is a patroller isn't it i'm going
4456s	the wrong way
4458s	when you have a patrolling uh monolith
4460s	it's always good to run clockwise
4462s	because they move counter
4464s	they move counterclockwise pretty sure
4466s	they still do that always
4471s	if there's a loop
4475s	oh
4476s	hello mike hello total annihilation how
4478s	are you
4481s	that's the sort of thing you say when a
4482s	meteor is coming to hit the earth you
4483s	just look at like hi total annihilation
4485s	how are you
4488s	uh
4489s	what's the
4490s	can glaciers explosions do partial
4492s	damage
4494s	uh no they do damage or not uh
4497s	uh or as long as they hit the monster's
4499s	hitbox they do full damage yeah yeah if
4501s	you're like if they're just on the edge
4502s	and they just barely clip they still do
4504s	full damage
4507s	mage oh the major spoiler stuff as well
4508s	oh my goodness
4514s	i'm sorry
4515s	i just did like a whole monolith with
4516s	that up
4518s	[Laughter]
4522s	oh boy
4525s	i apologize
4530s	that's actually pretty nice
4535s	oh maybe that's
4536s	oh there's the relic there's the exalted
4539s	relic okay we've got to go do
4541s	we have to go to the dungeon now to try
4542s	and get that put on to our relic of that
4545s	plus three traits any of that really the
4547s	void res it's only five oh i'll
4557s	okay let's just crank this void res up
4559s	not try to seal it
4563s	not terrible not terrible
4565s	plus 19 doing that but still not
4567s	terrible okay we're just gonna go ali
4569s	rez i think
4571s	and mana regen nice all right
4574s	it's easy as that
4577s	um we're gonna go take that
4579s	and make
4580s	a legendary with this
4583s	how close are we to beating this
4584s	timeline we're pretty close do we try
4585s	and just push
4589s	oh
4590s	oh you still usually need to request the
4591s	optional quest that goes but you still
4592s	have to do the boss
4595s	yeah right
4598s	let's just go for it
4604s	that was pretty lucky and i will say i
4606s	promise this is the actual live steam
4608s	version i'm not
4610s	like
4611s	like
4616s	here's
4617s	this there's no betas running it is the
4620s	official live version
4628s	uh
4630s	[Music]
4633s	and to be clear it's performances
4634s	without enemies yes so it's just the
4635s	levels themselves yes yeah yeah those
4637s	are just the levels with the performance
4638s	improvements that we are working on um
4640s	but we are also working on enemy
4642s	performance separate from that as well
4644s	um
4646s	so really just the
4648s	the relative frame rate that you see on
4650s	specific zones without enemies on them
4652s	is dramatically improved um and then
4655s	we're also working on the frame rate of
4657s	enemies themselves which is also
4659s	improved um
4660s	from where it was before so like yeah
4662s	we're working on it um
4665s	like when it when we finally get those
4667s	performance improvements out
4669s	i want to bring the person on the the
4671s	people there's lots of people that are
4672s	working on it that have been working on
4674s	that and like
4676s	give them a standing ovation in here
4677s	because my goodness
4680s	they are the butt kickers
4688s	they're doing really well which is
4690s	oh it's great
4698s	it's not going to fix every single
4700s	problem it won't be like suddenly
4701s	everyone on a 10 year old computer is at
4704s	200 fps or anything like that that's not
4706s	gonna happen but
4708s	um hopefully hopefully we'll solve the
4710s	vast majority of the problems where
4711s	people are are really struggling in
4713s	places that they shouldn't be
4716s	oh two of you ring
4721s	yeah you're going if you're going ward
4723s	gained on crit
4726s	not too shabby
4728s	an arrow quiver is not shown on the back
4730s	of the road when you equip it so do you
4732s	plan to draw one i mean
4733s	maybe
4735s	i think there's a reason why we didn't
4737s	do that i can't know what it was
4746s	what that was there was some reason why
4747s	it's not there
4759s	thank you very much
4760s	uh hooded cloak sub the twitch prime
4763s	thank you very much
4765s	love
4766s	that welcome to the party
4769s	hang out stay well
4771s	listen if you want
4779s	for the fish
4781s	because they live in the ocean
4786s	hi mike one question do you guys have
4788s	any ideas or intentions of increasing
4790s	the amount of item customization like
4792s	for example being able to further modify
4794s	items implicits
4799s	there's always there's always plans for
4801s	further item
4803s	i i am crafting things like that's
4805s	that's always on the table of like ooh
4807s	what's the what other sort of like item
4809s	crafting angles can we take
4812s	um
4813s	as far as altering the implicits
4815s	themselves on gear that's that's like
4818s	like altering the implicit on this from
4819s	armor and endurance to something else
4821s	like armor and endurance threshold or
4823s	armor and life or something just
4825s	changing what those actually are
4827s	the way it's set up pretty unlikely that
4830s	would actually be changing to a
4831s	different type of implicit anytime soon
4834s	that's not to say it'll never happen but
4836s	uh i'd say it's pretty low on the list
4843s	it's good to reperform and not just sit
4845s	here and do nothing
4853s	let's get
4854s	oh my goodness popped
4862s	i'm just gonna
4865s	i'm sure you're lovely at parties but
4867s	you know i just need my space right now
4869s	ah
4872s	okay i'm here i'm here to party let's go
4877s	oh all leaving so soon
4886s	but we were just starting to have fun
4901s	all righty then
4906s	wow
4909s	[Music]
4914s	my mom said don't talk to strangers
4929s	feel my wrath
4936s	oh
4937s	i don't quite have enough health so i'm
4939s	getting kicked out or we perform every
4940s	once in a while
4944s	things have got some damage in here
4960s	oh come on stay
4962s	nailed
4978s	nice
4980s	nice
4987s	get some cool items here
4990s	let's cool items 20 25. okay we're gonna
4992s	find something that's
4994s	close to the center and get that last
4995s	25.
4997s	kill some stuff that'll be that'll be 25
4999s	21 40 yeah
5001s	it means rare enemies regenerate health
5003s	that's fine
5016s	i hope that's fine
5030s	oh get out of that avalanche
5033s	do you consider having an option for
5035s	friends oops uh friends leaderboards you
5038s	can compare yourself to those on your
5040s	friends list yeah um leaderboards are
5044s	uh really tricky to figure out exactly
5046s	how many to show and how many options to
5048s	give um that's one thing i really liked
5050s	about d3 is having um
5053s	like the way they did their leaderboards
5054s	with like guild leader boards you can
5056s	like really easily see like oh on your
5058s	friends list who's the best that sort of
5059s	thing i really like that
5061s	um
5063s	so i'm like i don't stack up to people
5065s	who are
5066s	um who are playing every day but i know
5068s	that my uh my friends that are playing a
5070s	similar amount so it's i can i can
5071s	compare reasonably well to them
5074s	um
5075s	and also i guess just being able to see
5078s	like oh uh oh looks like so-and-so
5080s	managed to do this cool
5082s	um i think it's really neat i like that
5084s	a lot
5085s	uh i i don't know if we are planning it
5087s	right now but i think it would be a
5088s	really cool feature to add and i like it
5090s	i hope we can
5095s	i don't think it's on the list yet
5117s	we go bye bye gollums
5129s	all right
5131s	we're gonna we're gonna go for this boss
5139s	a bad feeling about this like should i
5140s	go try and get the make my legendary
5142s	first
5144s	and come back for the boss
5154s	go for it
5156s	no guts no glory right
5160s	[Music]
5164s	like going going for the exact thing i
5166s	need
5167s	to do this boss
5169s	earlier you said that the in its current
5171s	state
5172s	uh you have to add people to your
5174s	friends listed party with them i
5177s	um
5179s	yes that is true actually oh
5182s	yes that's that's true yes
5185s	in the current state
5187s	i think
5188s	oh
5191s	rhyme recruit from wrong but i think
5192s	that's true in the current state uh i
5194s	hope that changes as you expand the
5196s	options yeah uh because i don't like the
5198s	obligation to add someone
5200s	uh i may only play with for 30 minutes
5201s	absolutely yeah yeah um
5204s	sorry if i implied that
5208s	wouldn't be the case but yes you you
5209s	can't you um the goal is to be able to
5212s	party up with
5214s	with people that you you meet in town
5215s	and just be like
5217s	hey want to go to this dungeon with me
5218s	sure let's be a party for a short amount
5220s	of time
5223s	but yeah okay that is that is how it is
5225s	now cool
5227s	i uh i re-performed a little early so
5230s	i'm actually gonna just wait a second
5231s	and let that finish
5234s	uh and let the coolant finish because i
5235s	wanna be able to go into this with
5236s	freshly performed
5242s	so sorry about that
5253s	throw something's on the ground probably
5262s	whatever you can't take it with you
5263s	right
5266s	so so another question right now i feel
5268s	lots of uh masteries and skills have
5270s	some emphasis on sword acts one scepters
5272s	even two other weapons but i don't see
5273s	much respect to maces in general do you
5275s	guys plan on having future masteries or
5277s	skills rework existing ones to this
5282s	yeah maces are definitely a i would say
5284s	a lower on the list uh fantasy wise
5289s	um
5291s	like
5292s	so far
5294s	i i don't think that's
5296s	going to be a forever thing
5299s	um but it's harder to have like a class
5301s	fantasy that like
5303s	a typical class fantasy that like hits
5306s	the
5307s	um
5309s	that hits masons as a primary
5312s	weapon i guess in a class tennessee very
5314s	often
5322s	come on get some
5342s	this has
5343s	this despair
5345s	oblivion burns within me
5364s	i'm very surprised that we got there
5368s	very surprised we got there
5375s	spell image lisa's health is that what
5377s	we take here
5379s	i think that's what we take maybe it's
5381s	the increased lead trade one of those
5382s	two i think is the
5385s	one of those is the place someone tell
5386s	me what to do
5390s	thank you for the resub
5392s	[Music]
5394s	tv oh yeah singing
5396s	this is the one that i thought it was
5398s	all one word it's not
5401s	thank you very much for the resub happy
5402s	to have you here
5404s	welcome welcome
5408s	yeah it's it's it's so much easier to
5410s	look at it in chat because in chat it's
5411s	a singing games tv
5415s	thank you
5419s	uh first time here's hope this isn't an
5422s	inappropriate question to ask unless
5424s	it's really mean it's probably fine
5427s	um there's anything you can share on
5429s	when warlock could be playable that's by
5431s	far the master that i'm most interested
5434s	in yeah absolutely so um
5438s	uh
5440s	warlock will remember how i answered
5442s	this because i do this question a lot
5444s	warlock will be playable by 1.0 at the
5446s	latest
5447s	uh it could be before 1.0 but it will be
5449s	1.0 at the latest and the follow-up
5451s	question that is usually what one's 1.0
5453s	going to be sorry i can't tell you when
5454s	it's ready so it's unfortunately a when
5457s	it's ready answer
5458s	uh which sucks i know but

5469s	those masteries um warlock falconer and
5472s	runemaster have a lot of
5475s	they're we're really trying to fill
5478s	um
5479s	pieces of gameplay that we maybe don't
5481s	have a lot of trying to expand the base
5484s	classes uh and and kind of get them
5487s	filling fantasies that maybe we're not
5489s	really hitting properly making
5490s	interesting new playstyles things like
5492s	that i'm wrong i'm saying super vague
5493s	things and a lot of buzzwords
5495s	um
5497s	but yeah

5670s	fifth time um
5674s	but uh
5676s	it's it is by far the best version of
5678s	chat that we've had this is more we we
5680s	overhauled the the back end of it
5681s	recently and we're overhauling the front
5682s	end of it now
5685s	um and it looks awesome
5694s	uh so yeah we are
5696s	um
5697s	once we've got that like the core
5699s	functionality down there we're gonna be
5700s	adding in linking to it
5702s	um
5704s	the next major patch is like
5707s	gonna be the multiplayer patch so
5709s	the
5710s	like you won't get it before multiplayer
5725s	sounds
5729s	where are we going
5732s	this way nice all right let's go
5742s	yeah you think you're gonna take it off
5743s	me but you ain't girl
5746s	it's mine
5747s	my own my precious
5761s	is there a strongest entity in the lore
5764s	of last epoch maybe a boss there is um i
5767s	would say the strongest well
5770s	there is
5776s	um don't forget to put out last epoch
5778s	game if you've got a question for me
5779s	and do you guys keep keeping the
5782s	cosmetics very immersive or can we
5783s	expect to see some full panda costumes
5786s	some mean ones uh we're we're definitely
5789s	leaning more on the side of in universe
5792s	um
5793s	i wouldn't expect to see
5795s	um
5797s	uh like
5800s	i i i like like
5801s	i was just i'm trying like i'm gonna say
5803s	things like nah it's not a good idea to
5804s	say that out loud um some like specific
5807s	branded thing of like a modern
5810s	um
5811s	like a modern brand like there won't be
5812s	like uh uh here's something like
5815s	like a nike
5816s	shoe won't be in game you know it won't
5819s	have like
5823s	i will have it
5832s	yeah we are
5833s	we're trying to keep things more in the
5834s	universe they might be like a little bit
5836s	less in universe than
5839s	um
5841s	like like
5843s	there will be a little bit more leeway
5845s	on things that are
5847s	um
5851s	there'll be like a tiny bit more leeway
5853s	on on mtx than in-game items but they'll
5856s	still all be things that you'll see in
5858s	game so you won't like have a gun
5861s	skin for a bow you know like because
5863s	we're still because there's still no
5864s	guns in the universe so there's um
5867s	they're all things that could be in the
5868s	universe but they're
5870s	the the things that are mtx we we're
5872s	planning on pushing them a little bit
5873s	more
5874s	um
5875s	you'll probably see more vfx associated
5877s	with them you'll see more
5879s	um
5881s	a little bit more over the top a little
5883s	more muchness
5885s	i don't know what else to say
5889s	when do we get guns
5890s	we have no plans to add guns at the
5892s	moment
5894s	um
5897s	that's not bad
5902s	we had like a physical caster class
5912s	all right we're doing it we're going for
5914s	it
5916s	are you ready
5920s	so really we just don't want the mana
5922s	regen it's just like the le rez is also
5925s	not great we want that transplant or
5927s	that void res because we're low on void
5928s	reds on this belt the transplants just
5930s	like oh that's spicy
5932s	what do we got
5939s	and crossbows yeah crossbows crossbows
5941s	are on the list for sure um there's
5943s	already an item id for crossbows
5946s	um
5947s	i i would say crossbows are probably a
5949s	post 1.0 item type
5951s	um
5954s	it's possible it could come with a new
5955s	class i'd say that's unlikely i don't
5957s	know maybe
5959s	um
5961s	but yeah crossbows are on the list
5965s	one-handed spears lower on the list
5967s	there's no item type reserved for those
5969s	yet
5972s	i love that effect
5974s	all right
5976s	what do we think it is
5983s	25 risky move i'm all about the risky
5985s	moves
5992s	[Laughter]
5996s	all right search me right
6001s	not ideal
6006s	not ideal
6009s	that's okay
6012s	which one should we start we're not
6013s	going to get through another one we only
6014s	have 20 minutes left
6019s	i do i don't want to do another dungeon
6020s	because they're all still i can't get up
6024s	in the arena
6026s	that'll be fun maybe
6035s	here's a question i'm surprised i didn't
6037s	get earlier this stream as a developer
6039s	using unity do you have to follow the
6041s	news
6042s	about them laying people off and their
6044s	acquisitions or do you just use their
6045s	product and ignore the rest um okay so i
6048s	i think the
6052s	i i don't really have much of an opinion
6054s	on this um hey we got this question in
6056s	the discord chat uh
6058s	earlier today late yesterday remember
6062s	we're not super duper affected by it
6066s	it's it's kind of not a big deal to us
6068s	like it's just like a how does it affect
6070s	last epoch that doesn't really how does
6072s	it affect elementary games
6073s	tiny little bit
6075s	um
6076s	so it's not super duper important to it
6078s	i do like to keep up to date with things
6080s	like this um and i guess i have a
6082s	personal opinion about it
6084s	uh really quickly is multiplayer
6086s	available no not yet uh we do we have
6087s	started our community tester program
6089s	which does have multiplayer active right
6090s	now for them but they are uh under nda
6093s	so they can't tell you anything about it
6095s	um so yeah with the unity thing um
6097s	[Music]
6100s	it's so so
6101s	it's for anyone that doesn't know
6104s	uh there was a unity was creating a game
6107s	that was set to be
6109s	like a
6110s	it was it was
6111s	built a little bit like a we're gonna we
6114s	we don't have any released games that
6115s	we've made ourselves in house so we're
6117s	gonna make a game in-house to kind of
6119s	feel what it's like to use our own tool
6121s	for what it's like for people that are
6122s	using our tool to learn that process
6125s	that's sort of the like the
6127s	really high level
6129s	boilerplate of what it was touted as
6130s	originally
6134s	just a little bit of background and
6137s	uh
6138s	uh
6139s	pretty recently i don't actually want to
6140s	happen
6141s	that the that project was scrapped
6145s	i have no idea why that project was
6147s	scrapped uh there could be a really good
6150s	reason for that project being scrapped
6152s	who knows
6153s	um
6154s	oh my goodness i am not going to i
6158s	will
6160s	take bets now will i make it past one
6163s	single wave i don't think because i
6165s	started way behind i weighed 102 already
6167s	yeah past one wave
6171s	okay
6174s	wave 103. this is surprisingly difficult
6177s	uh
6183s	ow my face anyways um
6189s	yeah
6190s	that was that was a fool's errand i want
6191s	to answer this question um it was
6195s	so they
6197s	didn't really so they didn't really get
6199s	very far with that project it was pretty
6200s	new project got scrapped um and the sort
6203s	of like the headline was
6204s	um unity cancels
6206s	game name i don't know where the name of
6207s	the game was you cancels the game name
6209s	lays everyone off and that's kind of
6211s	what happened technically that's true
6214s	um
6215s	the the the second half of that sentence
6217s	is over half those people got rehired
6219s	into different positions
6221s	um
6222s	so it's not quite as bad as it sounds on
6225s	on on the surface really
6229s	and
6230s	uh there's there's a recent there's a
6232s	couple recent acquisitions that go along
6234s	with that story
6235s	of
6236s	um
6238s	there's a couple companies that they've
6239s	acquired and one of the the company they
6241s	they just acquired there's a lot of
6242s	people that are
6244s	not overly happy about that acquisition
6246s	i i have no information about the
6248s	company they acquired so i really don't
6249s	want to comment on that
6251s	um but yeah it doesn't really affect us
6253s	that much
6254s	this is all like
6256s	internal workings of a different company
6258s	yes we use their product um
6264s	the product we're using won't change
6267s	from that
6269s	necessarily
6271s	there might be some small effect in like
6273s	five years or something like that maybe
6276s	[Music]
6277s	but
6278s	immediate effect literally nothing
6283s	like you don't have to use like they
6285s	they
6286s	give you options for things you can use
6288s	there's services they let you that you
6289s	opt into
6290s	um
6291s	we don't use all of those services we
6293s	don't use all those products
6295s	it's like a like a buffet that you can
6296s	pick and choose from and we pick and
6298s	choose what we want and we'll just keep
6300s	picking choosing the same things we want
6307s	that's kind of it
6313s	i hope it works out great for them
6316s	i really do i hope it's
6318s	a brilliant decision
6320s	that uh
6322s	that works out amazing
6326s	i do not know enough about it to
6329s	know if that's what's gonna happen or
6330s	not
6335s	oh run
6338s	okay let's answer another question
6340s	how do the devs anticipate adaptive
6342s	melee damage will affect melee builds in
6343s	last epoch
6345s	um i i think it's so actually so um it's
6347s	a slight update on that what we're
6350s	calling it is we're actually getting
6351s	we're doing away with the word adaptive
6354s	um
6355s	and we're just uh now there's just a new
6357s	stat called melee damage just flat added
6360s	melee damage or flat added spell damage
6362s	or flat added bow damage or flat out of
6363s	throwing damage are all just stats you
6365s	can have so they they're typeless
6368s	flat added damage that because they are
6370s	typeless they are adapted
6374s	um
6379s	there's a slight update there
6381s	and
6383s	i think what it's gonna do is it's gonna
6385s	it's gonna bring more flexibility to the
6387s	items that you can use and it's gonna
6389s	make build crafting more interesting
6390s	because it'll give you some more options
6392s	i think that's basically all that's
6393s	gonna happen with it
6394s	um
6396s	you'll be able to use an item maybe that
6398s	maybe you're in a
6399s	um
6401s	like you're you're a fire build
6403s	and there was um a weapon that like
6406s	you've got like tons of increased fire
6407s	damage your ability is giving you fire
6409s	damage um it's a fire melee ability and
6411s	you're like you're all about fire damage
6412s	but this weapon that you really wanted
6413s	to use because it had a sweet ability
6415s	that went with it had added cold melee
6416s	damage on it and it's just like
6418s	kind of makes it crappy
6421s	um suddenly it's just a good item for
6423s	you now and um
6425s	it's just another option that you can
6427s	use i think it's gonna i think it's
6428s	gonna make there be more options of
6430s	things you can use out there
6437s	so i'm looking forward to it
6445s	are there plans to do some stat scaling
6447s	balance to make crit chance and quick
6448s	damage not be the dominant secondary
6450s	step for most builds right now only
6452s	asking because every build i create just
6454s	ends up being massive amounts of crit
6455s	burst to clear groups of monsters and
6458s	chunk bosses down with massive crits
6460s	yeah i think that the um
6463s	in general crit is too strong i agree
6465s	with you there um we've got some little
6467s	changes that we've we've been slowly
6469s	implementing in the game like doing
6471s	things to just like make non-hit crit
6473s	sorry non-crit hits
6475s	be more um
6477s	interesting uh items that like remove
6480s	your crit chance or remove your crit
6481s	multi to like to get different effects
6483s	and things like that um items that
6487s	say like non-critical hits have some
6490s	extra effect that's interesting um we're
6492s	trying to add in more things like that
6494s	to just give give reasons to to not
6496s	invest in crit um
6499s	a little bit and then um
6503s	we're also i think the numbers on a lot
6506s	of the affixes could get toned down a
6508s	little bit as well i don't i don't know
6509s	if it's their need of like a dire just
6511s	like nerf bat but
6512s	there's some just some little like
6515s	tweaking some dial turning
6517s	um
6518s	because crit's fun that's the other
6520s	thing like a lot of people really enjoy
6522s	crit crits a fun way to play and um
6525s	we don't want to take it off the table
6527s	but um just make it less of an auto pick
6532s	so we're we're doing that yeah a couple
6534s	different ways by but maybe maybe toning
6536s	things down a little bit in the crit
6537s	department um
6539s	but but more so
6541s	oh i'll do both of them once okay
6543s	let's go for it
6548s	the other one didn't agree nice
6556s	eat it
6567s	because we don't want to kill crit
6568s	builds but we'd like to
6571s	have there be other options too
6573s	that's all
6576s	have you guys considered probably making
6578s	uh singularity instead of not allowing
6580s	you to crit letting you [ __ ] with zero
6582s	extra damage that becomes useful for
6584s	some builds there's yeah the um
6586s	[Music]
6590s	there's some weird things with that uh
6592s	we we have considered it um
6597s	and
6598s	uh it's it's intentionally set up the
6600s	way it is
6605s	but yes we have considered that
6607s	uh thank you for that great answer
6608s	you're welcome as a follow-up do you
6610s	think this change to typeless damage
6612s	will present new challenges in balancing
6614s	items oh yeah
6616s	oh yeah cause because the flip side of
6618s	that of like being like okay well
6619s	there's more options for
6621s	um this
6622s	fire attack that that now the cold
6625s	weapons can be used as fire attack
6627s	now it's just
6629s	basically the pool of items to choose
6631s	from is bigger and sometimes what that
6633s	actually does is makes the items you
6635s	pick um
6637s	less diapers it can homogenize the item
6639s	choice um
6642s	let's pick on shaco again huh
6644s	um
6645s	it's so good it's like
6647s	90 of the end game characters use that
6649s	in diablo 2 if they can like that's just
6651s	all right in character you can use shaco
6653s	great it's just what every single other
6655s	item is compared to sort of like you can
6657s	do something other than shaco justify
6659s	using something other than shaco that's
6660s	that's the that's the question so
6661s	whenever you see like
6663s	um if you if you frequently do like
6665s	subreddits and people post circuits all
6667s	the time magic circles rare circle it's
6669s	um
6671s	like druid pelts um
6673s	all those sorts of things and it's
6674s	always just like is it better than
6675s	shaykh that's like the benchmark it has
6678s	to be
6679s	better than shaco and she goes real hard
6681s	to get better than there are certain
6683s	situations you're trying to get like um
6685s	uh run walk break points or um uh
6689s	caspy break points or um
6692s	mfr points things like that there's
6694s	certain things you're not break points
6695s	in a minute but just like as much as
6696s	possible there's there's a few things
6698s	you can
6701s	like and and dream for like dual dream
6703s	setups or paladins and like there's
6705s	reasons to use other helmets but it's
6707s	you have to justify it and like i think
6709s	i just rolled through pretty quickly
6710s	almost all the options and it's the same
6712s	thing on a barb like if you have uh
6714s	aryan's face it's sort of like justify
6716s	using something other than air it's good
6717s	luck
6721s	and um so so having these things that
6723s	are opening up the options can sometimes
6725s	cause that to happen a little bit
6727s	um
6729s	which is not ideal
6731s	um so yeah it does give us more
6733s	balancing challenges
6735s	um but hopefully we can make the
6738s	um effects on the items the interesting
6740s	part instead of just raw stats because
6742s	that's one of the things about shaker
6743s	that makes it so good is that it's just
6744s	so many raw stats
6747s	that make it so good
6750s	not just flat dr it's that
6753s	plus dude all skills like it's just
6754s	that's good for everyone
6770s	all right
6772s	uh would you consider making crit cap at
6774s	80 unless you dual wielding uh that's an
6776s	interesting thing i
6779s	i'm i think that
6784s	i've i've never heard that suggested
6785s	before
6786s	i don't think maybe i have i'm not a
6788s	huge fan of it at the surface surface
6790s	level uh response is just like
6794s	uh not a huge fan
6796s	um
6797s	i like the idea of making it harder to
6799s	get to 100 grit big fan of that
6802s	but having it just be a hard cap unless
6804s	you're dual wielding
6808s	not not a huge fan of making maybe
6809s	making it like a lot easier to happen if
6811s	you're dual wielding if that's like okay
6813s	you gotta like really make some
6814s	sacrifices to get there if you're not
6815s	deal willing yeah i can see that being
6817s	an option there's just there's so many
6819s	builds that thematically fit crit so
6822s	well
6823s	um that aren't wheeling build so
6825s	especially the first thing comes to mind
6826s	is bow builds bow builds fit crit
6828s	thematically so well
6830s	like you're you're so accurate with your
6832s	bow that you can like pinpoint their eye
6834s	every time and it's like you're that
6836s	good like you're that accurate that
6837s	you're pinpointing their eye every time
6839s	through armor like that's why you're 100
6840s	quick because you're that good at
6841s	pinpointing spots and like that's
6843s	thematically really appropriate and
6845s	really cool
6846s	having um
6849s	having it be on like a hammer
6852s	and
6853s	that you're 100 crit on a hammer that
6855s	you're that you're swinging at someone
6857s	less thematically awesome
6859s	um i i think it's less than medically
6861s	appropriate like a critical hit is sort
6862s	of that like in my world i always
6864s	picture the critical light maybe this is
6865s	different other people but i always
6866s	pictured it as like a you found the weak
6868s	point you've managed to be precise
6869s	enough that you've hit the the one
6871s	specific spot that really that that like
6874s	it's critically damaging them it's it's
6876s	it's extra instead of just like hitting
6877s	them anywhere you've pinpointed the one
6880s	spot that's like oh got him
6882s	and um
6886s	that thematically doesn't fit a hammer
6888s	as well in my world
6892s	i got the head every time with a hammer
6901s	hey i'm just tuning in to see it came
6903s	across the game during the summer sale
6904s	and i'm addicted awesome
6906s	don't forget to go outside
6909s	uh you woke up my love for apg again i
6911s	can't wait to see this game pop off at
6913s	1.0 me too thanks bud appreciate it glad
6915s	to have you here
6918s	hard caps kill the fun i
6920s	sometimes yes sometimes no a lot of
6923s	times yes probably
6926s	um
6927s	yeah
6928s	i'm a great fan of the proc system in
6930s	last epoch i love skills that proc other
6932s	skills items procking skills etc any
6935s	update on the ui ideas to have better
6937s	idea on what the sub skills do yeah
6940s	skill details are
6943s	um that is something we're still working
6944s	on
6946s	and that's expanding this menu here to
6948s	have uh well to change what's here
6951s	and then also having an extra window for
6953s	skills or or being able to just like
6955s	flip through this like tabs to see the
6956s	skills to change what's here but having
6958s	more details on skill specific um
6961s	interactions and
6963s	uh interaction skill specific stats so
6966s	you know what the skills are doing
6967s	themselves it's still something we're
6968s	planning on doing um
6970s	and
6972s	having
6973s	they have the proc skills exactly what
6975s	they're doing what's a good example of a
6976s	proc skill we can look at it quickly
6978s	uh
6981s	great
6982s	uh
6983s	this castings was broken
6986s	oh my god it's not even there
6989s	i like just picked out of the blue
6991s	something this should show the acid
6993s	flash tooltip it doesn't even show that
6997s	come on
6998s	mike
7008s	they said the sun doesn't
7010s	oh no this should show up one number oh
7011s	it's also the button isn't it
7014s	am i crazy
7021s	what's going on did i just find two that
7023s	are a problem
7025s	check transplant
7027s	there's one nailed it thank you first
7029s	try
7030s	um yeah so currently this is basically
7032s	all that shows up is just the the
7034s	default tool tip um that shows basic
7036s	information about it
7037s	um
7038s	i'd like this to be
7040s	having an easy way to get this
7042s	information quickly is really tough
7045s	um
7046s	also the button yeah i had it it's just
7048s	like i found two
7050s	bone golem and uh some skeletons both
7053s	have a notes that are missing their
7054s	alternative information for skills that
7056s	they interact with oh well um
7060s	i i know i know something going through
7061s	a lot of the skill trees and fixing up
7063s	inconsistencies and there were a lot of
7066s	a lot of tooltips that were wrong
7068s	they'll be like this one's like maybe
7069s	this one's one that's wrong it says like
7070s	armor 200. it's actually armor 400 or
7073s	it's actually armor 100 it's doing
7074s	nothing you're seeing so completely
7075s	different there's a lot of them that are
7076s	wrong that we found there's a huge
7079s	change list of things that are just like
7080s	whoops
7082s	uh anyways um
7085s	the uh this this school the skill tool
7087s	tip uh is a good start but i don't think
7090s	it's all the information we need i think
7092s	there needs to be other other things we
7093s	can find out from this and i'm not sure
7096s	the best way to do it i'm not sure if
7098s	that's
7098s	um
7100s	in even in this menu that might be
7101s	something that needs to happen as an
7103s	expansion to this menu here
7106s	so that's still
7108s	in the works at best right now um we're
7110s	still we're still working on this menu
7113s	and getting skill details into here sub
7116s	skill information is also needing to be
7118s	worked on and it's not there yet
7122s	to be fair they have gotten much better
7124s	they have gotten much better thank you
7126s	uh yes we are working on it it's
7127s	improving um
7130s	always getting a little bit better
7130s	transplant quartz explosion yeah that
7132s	was whatever the good ones do as well

7138s	yeah there's someone skeleton one
7141s	i don't even know where it is

7152s	armor and they both show the same
7153s	tooltip
