| 146s | a little bit of a quiet week as there's |
| 148s | you know some interesting stuff |
| 150s | happening |
| 153s | we're just gonna have some fun keep |
| 155s | playing |
| 164s | squirrels are quite strong |
| 167s | i feel like we are |
| 169s | we could be doing harder content here |
| 171s | pretty quickly so i might rush through |
| 173s | this one a little bit |
| 174s | uh in hopes of getting too empowered |
| 177s | quickly |
| 188s | we'll see what happens |
| 190s | finally made the stream glad to have you |
| 192s | with us |
| 196s | stay awhile listen maybe say something |
| 199s | you want |
| 219s | oh we're gonna find the boots on this |
| 221s | character |
| 222s | i don't know what it is but this |
| 223s | character |
| 224s | they just love boots |
| 229s | little little teaser so this is this is |
| 231s | an image i showed last week or two weeks |
| 232s | ago i think |
| 235s | uh here |
| 237s | and so the uh the theme of this week is |
| 241s | related |
| 242s | we'll say that |
| 247s | how do you get the squirrels the |
| 248s | squirrels are a function of this item |
| 251s | right here hell of a scary this was a |
| 252s | supporter unique uh that was done for |
| 255s | zizerin |
| 256s | we did we created this actually live on |
| 258s | his stream which was really cool |
| 260s | um |
| 261s | and if you go check out his stuff you |
| 263s | can see he'll have a physical version of |
| 264s | the same helmet |
| 266s | which uh it's wild but it looks |
| 268s | surprisingly awesome |
| 270s | um and so yeah this this this switches |
| 273s | wolves into squirrels and doubles them |
| 277s | so we're just like we just realized that |
| 278s | we just we had to double it so we |
| 280s | doubled it |
| 300s | and then uh we also use frenzy totem |
| 303s | along with the skyrim rage |
| 305s | to get them attacking ultra crazy fast |
| 308s | and just apply a ton of bleeds |
| 311s | to our targets a lot of armor shred a |
| 313s | lot of bleeds |
| 316s | um then we also create claw totems and |
| 319s | vines as we |
| 320s | leap and swipe |
| 322s | which gets us even more minions to make |
| 324s | even more bleeds |
| 327s | what we're all about is this bleed |
| 330s | stacking and it's really great in the in |
| 332s | the new patch coming up or yeah |
| 335s | you actually can see |
| 336s | [Music] |
| 337s | the total number of stacks on anything |
| 339s | which is great |
| 341s | i know i keep saying it but i love it |
| 344s | uh let's see at last epoch game here we |
| 347s | got a question do we have a manifest |
| 349s | armor or forge guard rework incoming |
| 351s | well there's |
| 353s | some interesting stuff related to that |
| 355s | image you saw earlier |
| 357s | we'll see what that is |
| 360s | in a little while |
| 364s | i didn't hear anything but that's weird |
| 367s | well philosopher |
| 369s | thank you very much |
| 371s | for using 40 bits |
| 374s | look at that shamrocking that luck |
| 378s | i want |
| 379s | a |
| 381s | i should i should make a filter uh entry |
| 383s | for the helmet that i'm looking for |
| 384s | because i want a helmet |
| 386s | a a exalted helmet |
| 388s | um |
| 391s | with some nice stats so it's basically |
| 393s | just some minion stats on an exalted |
| 394s | helmet would be really nice |
| 398s | some health |
| 400s | plus wolf skills |
| 405s | wow that was a short one |
| 408s | is there a time frame for the falcon or |
| 409s | subclass coming yes it will be here and |
| 411s | i know this is not telling you anything |
| 413s | it's kind of a cop-out answer because |
| 415s | you probably are aware of this already |
| 416s | but it will be here |
| 418s | at the latest by 1.0 |
| 423s | so that's the timeline which we don't |
| 425s | know 1.0 is so it's hard to use that as |
| 428s | an actual accurate time reference but |
| 431s | that's all we got |
| 438s | the music's missing |
| 442s | [Music] |
| 453s | a wild |
| 462s | yeah so um yeah accurate but not |
| 464s | specific exactly the uh the falconer |
| 467s | rune master and warlock are the three |
| 469s | missing master classes |
| 471s | um |
| 476s | and uh |
| 478s | yeah there's a lot of people that are |
| 480s | pretty excited for those |
| 484s | so like how um |
| 486s | primeless has all three of its masteries |
| 488s | mage acolyte and |
| 490s | uh rogue do not have all three of their |
| 492s | masteries yet |
| 494s | but they will |
| 498s | uh what's a new community unique made |
| 501s | affecting with the new unique community |
| 504s | i'm gonna try that again just just a |
| 506s | moment here oh tears path nice with the |
| 509s | new community unique made affecting |
| 511s | volcanic orb we see a tree rework in |
| 514s | this new patch i'd love to see some more |
| 515s | d2 like frozen orb with the way with way |
| 517s | more shrapnel um not specifically now i |
| 520s | don't have any um |
| 522s | we haven't done any major reworks on |
| 525s | uh |
| 526s | come on why is that disappearing |
| 529s | it's frustrating uh we haven't done any |
| 530s | major reworks on |
| 532s | any items yet are any skills yet sorry |
| 536s | um |
| 537s | so we'll see what we'll see what happens |
| 538s | eventually but |
| 541s | i don't think there's a major rework |
| 542s | coming for it now |
| 545s | might be a few little things here and |
| 546s | there just having the different element |
| 548s | uh it changes a lot of things you can do |
| 550s | with it and change a lot of the gear |
| 552s | that work well with it so there's a lot |
| 553s | of like knock-on effects that just |
| 555s | happen different nodes become good |
| 556s | inherently |
| 569s | these squirrels take a second to get |
| 570s | going but as soon as they do |
| 572s | [Music] |
| 573s | stuff just gets evaporated |
| 578s | what's the highest ailment stack account |
| 580s | you guys have seen so far in testing |
| 582s | i've seen hundreds |
| 584s | um |
| 586s | it's a little nutty |
| 588s | but i've seen a few hundred |
| 591s | hello master sword how's it going |
| 594s | glad to have you here get those xp i i |
| 597s | always go for these xp ones because like |
| 598s | i feel like i'm quite frequently |
| 600s | um low |
| 602s | [Music] |
| 603s | level compared to the content i'm doing |
| 605s | in the end of the monolith |
| 614s | might be because i'm so awesome |
| 621s | unlikely |
| 624s | would also like to get a legendary |
| 625s | version of eric's bone so i could uh put |
| 627s | puts put a little more melee fits on it |
| 629s | so i can have it actually do have swipe |
| 631s | be a little bit more reasonable because |
| 633s | swipe's pretty weak socks right now i'm |
| 635s | just attack speed or something |
| 645s | it's pretty low level unique so i should |
| 647s | be able to find some pretty easy 163 |
| 648s | it's not as close as i thought |
| 661s | i love when they'll jump with haste like |
| 662s | that |
| 671s | do you have a name squirrel |
| 677s | i don't think we've been named scroll |
| 678s | this time that's okay |
| 680s | we'll pretend river's still here from |
| 682s | last time |
| 687s | somehow you're close to 100 hours in the |
| 689s | game when you've never finished the |
| 690s | campaign |
| 691s | wow |
| 695s | it's impressive |
| 715s | the exalted one |
| 729s | cracked at the same time as getting here |
| 731s | oh you tough fight but i think we can |
| 733s | handle it no problem |
| 740s | yeah let's aggro some more things why |
| 742s | not right |
| 754s | he's seen some more questions about the |
| 755s | helmet herald of the scurry it's a level |
| 758s | 70 unique uh it's it's tricky to get to |
| 760s | drop it's |
| 761s | tr very tricky to drop with uh legendary |
| 764s | potential as well |
| 766s | so it has a high legendary potential |
| 768s | level |
| 771s | pretty sure |
| 778s | i could go for a curry right now |
| 787s | got the boys coming over tonight we're |
| 788s | playing magic i'm gonna |
| 790s | make some pulled pork oh excited about |
| 792s | that |
| 798s | can you only get squirrels in that |
| 799s | unique or is it a modifier that can be |
| 801s | on anything |
| 803s | uh it is |
| 805s | uh |
| 807s | unique to that helmet only |
| 812s | this it's the only place you can get |
| 813s | that effect is on that helmet |
| 826s | they're quite good for applying ailments |
| 828s | um |
| 830s | they have a bunch of stats that are cut |
| 831s | because they're in because they're |
| 832s | duplicated but ailment application rate |
| 835s | is not established i do not believe |
| 846s | oh they just get 45 less damage |
| 852s | it's a pretty big cut |
| 858s | but anything that scales off like number |
| 860s | of uh bleed stacks or anything like that |
| 876s | hmm |
| 891s | if anyone is just joining us please feel |
| 893s | free to ask any questions you like about |
| 895s | the game in chat i'll be happy to answer |
| 897s | them i am one of the developers |
| 900s | i do my day job is working on this game |
| 904s | i love it |
| 906s | nlp dream thorn |
| 908s | cool |
| 910s | that's really good that's really good um |
| 911s | unique to like kind of get you through a |
| 913s | lot of the game on uh |
| 917s | um |
| 919s | on avoid night like |
| 921s | get like a 2 lp dream torn pretty easily |
| 924s | they'll power you through a huge portion |
| 926s | of the game very handily in the late |
| 928s | game |
| 931s | okay we've got some helmets here to make |
| 932s | with our |
| 933s | uh legendary potential |
| 936s | unique |
| 937s | okay so no no |
| 941s | let's just put stuff that's amazing on |
| 943s | it but |
| 945s | yeah minion bleed on hit that's nice |
| 947s | dude just pray for that |
| 962s | i think that one's the best one |
| 970s | okay let's uh |
| 973s | let's do a little crafting so once so if |
| 975s | you've never made a unique or legendary |
| 976s | before |
| 978s | you combine a |
| 979s | exalted item so purple and a unique item |
| 982s | with legendary potential and it grabs |
| 984s | affixes from the |
| 986s | exalted item the purple item onto the |
| 988s | unique equal to the number of legendary |
| 990s | potential it has so this is going to |
| 991s | grab one |
| 992s | affix from this helmet |
| 996s | um so and but it's a random one so i'm |
| 998s | what i'm going to do is i'm going to uh |
| 1000s | try and get as much stuff onto it as |
| 1002s | possible |
| 1004s | um |
| 1007s | as much good stuff as possible on it |
| 1018s | yeah me and health will take that |
| 1025s | do you like strength yeah we like |
| 1026s | strength |
| 1028s | strength feeds this still right now this |
| 1029s | is attunement ooh |
| 1032s | ew maybe we don't like strength do we |
| 1034s | try do we roll for something else |
| 1039s | yeah |
| 1041s | yeah |
| 1044s | that'll do |
| 1046s | that'll do there's a lot of good stuff |
| 1048s | there |
| 1049s | um do we want to re-roll this at all |
| 1054s | those rolls are nice |
| 1056s | we're just going to keep that as is |
| 1058s | and let's go to uh |
| 1062s | what level is this 70 so we've got to do |
| 1064s | t2 |
| 1066s | or t3 |
| 1070s | should be fine either way i think |
| 1074s | let's go to temporal sanctum |
| 1078s | oh |
| 1079s | no |
| 1081s | rhymer what have you done |
| 1097s | i have no waypoints |
| 1100s | [Laughter] |
| 1106s | okay |
| 1107s | uh i'm just gonna chuck some of this |
| 1109s | stuff on the ground why not right |
| 1112s | i know it's pretty nice actually |
| 1124s | like that too that'd be nice |
| 1130s | yes |
| 1134s | okay |
| 1137s | let's just keep going i'm not gonna go |
| 1139s | find that waypoint |
| 1141s | it's unfortunate |
| 1146s | oh alrighty then for the favor system |
| 1149s | that has been briefly mentioned can we |
| 1152s | expect another avenue for player power |
| 1154s | alongside gear passives etc or is this |
| 1156s | some other kind of system we don't have |
| 1159s | a um |
| 1162s | a lot of info that i can really share |
| 1164s | with you on it right now um it's it's |
| 1165s | still in the concept phase so it's |
| 1168s | not been implemented there's not enough |
| 1169s | room for |
| 1170s | to really have anything concrete for it |
| 1172s | um right now |
| 1175s | nice boots what is going on with these |
| 1177s | boots |
| 1179s | it's just really easy to find nice do i |
| 1180s | just like all the stats that are on |
| 1182s | boots right now |
| 1190s | that must have got the chest |
| 1196s | not amazing not picking them up |
| 1225s | yeah so if you you know don't forget if |
| 1226s | you have any questions um don't forget |
| 1228s | to at lastly block game cheat account |
| 1232s | the |
| 1233s | uh so i do try and get different |
| 1236s | characters to play on stream frequently |
| 1239s | um most of the time i'll just pull |
| 1240s | someone's character on on the teams like |
| 1243s | come play it on stream |
| 1245s | sometimes we make up characters |
| 1246s | specifically for the stream because i |
| 1249s | don't have a chance to play much |
| 1261s | uh is the game still on track for 2022 |
| 1263s | release or his code caused issues um |
| 1265s | we're not really set on any specific |
| 1267s | date for release the release date is |
| 1269s | when it's ready |
| 1270s | um |
| 1273s | our goal right now is get multiplier out |
| 1275s | and kind of see where it is from there |
| 1278s | so much of our of our release schedule |
| 1279s | is based on quality and |
| 1282s | um we need to be able to tell |
| 1285s | we need to be able to say like okay if |
| 1286s | something's wrong we need the time so |
| 1288s | we're just going to say when it's ready |
| 1290s | we'll release it um |
| 1293s | because we want we want quality to be |
| 1296s | rock solid by the time we say it's |
| 1297s | officially out |
| 1301s | being going on sale anytime soon i don't |
| 1303s | think we have any specific sail dates |
| 1305s | planned at the moment |
| 1308s | usually those coincide with pretty |
| 1310s | predictable events |
| 1311s | um |
| 1317s | if you've been paying attention to steam |
| 1319s | uh sale catalog tracker stuff whatever |
| 1325s | they're they're they they line up pretty |
| 1326s | well with normal |
| 1328s | sales there |
| 1330s | generally |
| 1336s | i have no idea if we have anything |
| 1338s | planned for the steam summer sale or not |
| 1341s | i'm fully just walking away from this |
| 1342s | objective i can feel it |
| 1374s | all right |
| 1376s | [Music] |
| 1382s | come on |
| 1383s | why did i go the wrong way i knew it was |
| 1385s | the wrong way i even said it was the |
| 1386s | wrong way |
| 1389s | don't forget if you've got a question |
| 1390s | for me put out last epoch game in front |
| 1392s | of the question i will see it and answer |
| 1393s | but i think this one's meant for me are |
| 1395s | there plans to attempt to strike some |
| 1396s | love i like the theme but it feels like |
| 1398s | you need to make |
| 1400s | uh |
| 1402s | uh feels like you need to make jack of |
| 1404s | all trades master of none with melee |
| 1405s | damage spell damage and minion damage |
| 1407s | yeah it's it's got some issues right now |
| 1410s | we're we're not actively tackling it um |
| 1412s | at the moment but we do know that it has |
| 1414s | problems and a plan to address those |
| 1416s | problems |
| 1421s | while it's a little underwhelming it's |
| 1423s | not problematic |
| 1425s | in the sense that uh |
| 1429s | it doesn't look horrible |
| 1431s | like i'll be illustrating later with |
| 1433s | some of my teasers that i've got planned |
| 1436s | um |
| 1437s | and it doesn't uh |
| 1439s | it it doesn't cause just like |
| 1442s | gameplay issues and it does exist you |
| 1444s | know like there's there's some there's |
| 1446s | some issues some bigger issues that |
| 1447s | exist with other uh abilities in the |
| 1450s | game that we had to address first |
| 1455s | but it definitely needs help and don't |
| 1458s | worry that'll happen |
| 1473s | hey what are your plans with the solo |
| 1475s | challenge once multiplayer releases we |
| 1476s | see some sort of shared stash solo game |
| 1479s | mode love your game thank you very much |
| 1481s | um so solo is |
| 1483s | uh like a character solo so it's like |
| 1486s | one character go ahead and play |
| 1489s | that's it |
| 1490s | um and so that that'll remain isolated |
| 1493s | as it is a solo character on its own as |
| 1496s | we go forward um impossible |
| 1500s | no it's it's possible i'm telling you |
| 1502s | prime minister it's until we're gonna do |
| 1503s | it |
| 1506s | no i'm telling you that's how it's gonna |
| 1508s | be |
| 1511s | okay well he doesn't believe me but you |
| 1513s | guys should and i just realized that i'm |
| 1514s | on the wrong side of the screen |
| 1521s | um as for the like i think the phrase |
| 1525s | you're probably looking for is like |
| 1527s | um account |
| 1529s | or self-found |
| 1531s | or like account restricted or something |
| 1532s | like that where it's like |
| 1534s | um you just don't interact with other |
| 1536s | players or trading or anything like that |
| 1538s | um |
| 1539s | and i i i |
| 1541s | don't think we have plans to separate |
| 1543s | things officially based on that but you |
| 1545s | can just |
| 1546s | do that by not joining with other people |
| 1549s | with the regular game mode |
| 1554s | there's there's like issues with |
| 1556s | splitting up |
| 1557s | um |
| 1558s | the like the player base by too many |
| 1560s | different factors and so you get several |
| 1562s | axes to split people up and several |
| 1563s | ladders to compete on and like oh this |
| 1566s | character's a solo but not cell phone |
| 1568s | character this is a cell phone but not |
| 1569s | solo character |
| 1570s | this is a |
| 1572s | hardcore single player self-found so |
| 1574s | like like it's you get so many modifiers |
| 1577s | on there that it's like |
| 1578s | um |
| 1581s | when two people want to play together |
| 1583s | having to like um |
| 1586s | make sure the characters are all in the |
| 1587s | same game mode is not a fun part of that |
| 1590s | um |
| 1601s | all right |
| 1602s | uh |
| 1604s | come equinox oh where's our pay to win i |
| 1607s | have this shiny new credit card uh |
| 1610s | because and |
| 1611s | daddy needs some points to travel first |
| 1614s | uh |
| 1617s | well i'm sorry to disappoint you but |
| 1620s | unfortunately |
| 1622s | we don't have any pay-to-win mechanics |
| 1624s | you know like we tried to put them in |
| 1626s | and they just wouldn't work we just |
| 1628s | couldn't get it to work |
| 1630s | uh so we just had to give up and not |
| 1632s | bother |
| 1635s | i know but seriously we do not plan on |
| 1637s | adding payday mechanics |
| 1639s | pay away and pay for convenience pay for |
| 1641s | content like it's you buy the game you |
| 1643s | can play the game |
| 1644s | you should be on the same level putting |
| 1646s | as anyone else who's bought the game |
| 1649s | uh |
| 1651s | for everything gameplay |
| 1658s | why would playing with someone |
| 1661s | in the same game mode for having an |
| 1663s | option account found |
| 1671s | i don't understand sorry uh |
| 1676s | why would playing with someone in the |
| 1677s | same game mode matter for having an |
| 1679s | option for account found okay so yeah |
| 1682s | it's it's less about |
| 1684s | um |
| 1686s | playing together in that for that |
| 1688s | situation um and that's more about just |
| 1689s | having different ladders having too many |
| 1691s | ladders so there's um there's different |
| 1693s | things we've considered for for how to |
| 1695s | split up ladders and so you get into |
| 1697s | let's let's just just look at the arena |
| 1698s | because we have different end game |
| 1699s | systems that are competitive that you'll |
| 1702s | have different ladders for and so let's |
| 1703s | just look at the arena on its own as the |
| 1705s | only letters pretend nothing else has a |
| 1707s | ladder because right now it doesn't and |
| 1708s | just like the arena um so if you have |
| 1711s | you have to split characters on like |
| 1714s | every time you split a character on |
| 1715s | something that can be combined with any |
| 1717s | other split |
| 1718s | is um it multiplies the total number of |
| 1721s | ladders that exist right |
| 1724s | by the number of options so if you have |
| 1726s | um software hardcore that multiplies the |
| 1728s | number of letters let's say it starts at |
| 1729s | one uh the arena ladder you have |
| 1731s | software hardcore now you have two |
| 1732s | ladders |
| 1734s | and then let's say you have um |
| 1736s | [Music] |
| 1737s | solo self-found |
| 1739s | as as uh another ladder type so that |
| 1741s | multiplies it or not sold something that |
| 1742s | multiplies by two more |
| 1744s | um and then you split solo and |
| 1746s | self-found into two different categories |
| 1748s | so suddenly multiplies by two more and |
| 1749s | you have eight |
| 1750s | um |
| 1751s | and and then you look at the arena and |
| 1754s | do we split the arena but like it's |
| 1756s | already too many um |
| 1759s | do we split the arena by |
| 1762s | um |
| 1763s | group size this is this is the kicker in |
| 1766s | this action more relevant and more |
| 1767s | important for ladder um split decisions |
| 1771s | is um group size so |
| 1773s | you have four people in a group max now |
| 1775s | do you use do you have |
| 1777s | um |
| 1778s | like |
| 1779s | do you have a different ladder for |
| 1781s | someone solo two three fours |
| 1784s | um that's suddenly four different ones |
| 1785s | you have to take that eight and multiply |
| 1787s | it by four so we suddenly have 32 |
| 1790s | ladders |
| 1791s | um and it's |
| 1792s | it's really problematic so we're |
| 1794s | definitely not going to do all of those |
| 1796s | things um and you start looking for ways |
| 1798s | to combine some that are close enough |
| 1800s | together |
| 1801s | where um it's not a huge advantage one |
| 1804s | way or the other |
| 1805s | um or maybe you can filter by it or |
| 1807s | something like that but it's still |
| 1808s | keeping the same ladder it's it's really |
| 1809s | tricky where the line between a filter |
| 1811s | setting and a different ladder comes in |
| 1813s | because really it's all just one ladder |
| 1814s | with different filter settings |
| 1817s | in reality that's what it is |
| 1819s | um |
| 1822s | but the way that information is |
| 1823s | displayed and the way we view that |
| 1825s | information and talk about that |
| 1826s | information changes how that um |
| 1829s | actually |
| 1830s | what it actually means for how it's |
| 1832s | split up whether it feels like a filter |
| 1834s | setting or feels like a different ladder |
| 1837s | um |
| 1844s | so yeah likely what i expect we'll see |
| 1846s | is we'll have six ladders |
| 1849s | is that right six |
| 1851s | um |
| 1860s | it's a lot |
| 1861s | there's too many there's too many |
| 1863s | options and then and then it changes |
| 1865s | every every league every season you know |
| 1867s | like it changes again |
| 1875s | i think you'll find the current audience |
| 1876s | is quite fond of ssf or account found |
| 1879s | game styles since that's what the game |
| 1880s | effectively is and i think it's |
| 1882s | unfortunate not to support that audience |
| 1884s | well okay so i'm not saying we don't |
| 1885s | support that it's like um so ssf and |
| 1888s | account found are two very different |
| 1889s | things um and and currently we have it |
| 1892s | split on those two axes right now um |
| 1898s | uh |
| 1899s | and so you'll still be able to play on |
| 1902s | effectively account found |
| 1904s | but there just won't be |
| 1906s | a different ladder for people who are |
| 1907s | playing account found in those that are |
| 1909s | playing with trading in like |
| 1912s | and i mean maybe if we get enough |
| 1913s | feedback people want it |
| 1915s | we can look into it |
| 1919s | i think i think that the uh issues |
| 1922s | like the actual like if you're going to |
| 1924s | put like a account restriction on it to |
| 1926s | be account found only and like |
| 1928s | um not interact with anyone else but |
| 1930s | still any part of your account or |
| 1931s | whatever |
| 1932s | it's uh gonna be a pretty pretty tiny |
| 1935s | percentage of the population that really |
| 1936s | cares to do that compared to just |
| 1938s | playing normally online |
| 1939s | and i could be very wrong with that and |
| 1941s | like we'll keep looking at the data and |
| 1944s | adjust accordingly |
| 1948s | but right now it it i doubt it's |
| 1951s | uh |
| 1953s | something that would actually be |
| 1954s | interesting for most players |
| 1956s | that's a distinction |
| 1958s | between that countdown and just normal |
| 1970s | will ellie be free to play on release |
| 1971s | ellie's um cost model |
| 1974s | will not change between now and release |
| 1976s | so it'll still be the same sticker price |
| 1978s | to purchase the game |
| 1982s | and and there won't be a monthly |
| 1983s | subscription |
| 1985s | so it'll be a |
| 1986s | you buy the game and you can play it |
| 1992s | pretty simple system |
| 2012s | boomer therapy if you've got a question |
| 2014s | please put at last epoch game in there |
| 2016s | because you first wanted to see it also |
| 2017s | highlighted so that's okay |
| 2019s | how is multiplayer closed testing going |
| 2022s | great |
| 2024s | uh i think we started another one today |
| 2026s | actually |
| 2030s | right i think we started another one |
| 2031s | today |
| 2034s | i'm just like horribly wrong with that |
| 2036s | probably |
| 2040s | a week today |
| 2042s | it's next week we're starting another |
| 2044s | one |
| 2050s | anyone who's a ct and chad's just going |
| 2052s | like oh my god what it's up no way |
| 2054s | it's not up sorry false alarm |
| 2067s | i'm kind of just doing this lazy i |
| 2069s | forgot that i'm still rushing through |
| 2070s | this and uh i went back into relax mode |
| 2093s | it's yeah it's so okay so it's basically |
| 2095s | splitting up solo and self-found to be |
| 2098s | different modes is the possibility |
| 2100s | because self-found implies that and |
| 2103s | things were all found by yourself it's |
| 2105s | account found |
| 2106s | um self-found and then solo is that |
| 2109s | character is on its own and doesn't have |
| 2111s | any interaction or help from any other |
| 2112s | characters |
| 2113s | so |
| 2118s | yeah |
| 2120s | you can also do not so this is the thing |
| 2122s | like do you then do have an option for |
| 2124s | not solo |
| 2126s | but still self-bound characters where |
| 2129s | you can say |
| 2131s | okay i don't have access to any sort of |
| 2132s | trading system at all |
| 2134s | but i can complete content with other |
| 2136s | people |
| 2137s | and it's like it's it's so much so much |
| 2140s | of this is where's the line drawn |
| 2142s | on distinctions because if you if you |
| 2144s | allow |
| 2145s | um |
| 2148s | uh cell phone and solo to be independent |
| 2150s | modes that are combinable |
| 2152s | um |
| 2153s | it's it's it's uh it adds more modes |
| 2156s | than adding it so that they where |
| 2158s | they're not |
| 2161s | uh it adds an extra |
| 2163s | mode if you have self-found but not solo |
| 2167s | as uh as a game so if you have like solo |
| 2171s | cell found and solo cell found as three |
| 2173s | game modes |
| 2174s | um it adds more |
| 2176s | options that are possibly not necessary |
| 2180s | because if someone's doing |
| 2182s | solo self found oh god someone's doing |
| 2185s | self-found solos likely something they |
| 2188s | want to do as well |
| 2190s | if someone's doing |
| 2192s | solo |
| 2198s | no |
| 2199s | i ain't sorry i get confused sometimes |
| 2201s | and i'm |
| 2205s | making mistakes as i say i'm not trying |
| 2206s | to so there's |
| 2208s | self-found things where you found the |
| 2210s | item yourself but you may not have been |
| 2211s | solo in the map i think that is a very |
| 2214s | rare game mode to for people to |
| 2216s | actually want and to play |
| 2218s | and |
| 2219s | if if we were going to split i think |
| 2220s | that one wouldn't appear as an option |
| 2233s | uh do you think more people would do |
| 2235s | arena if there were more save points to |
| 2237s | restart from rather than having to redo |
| 2239s | so many waves over and over again i i |
| 2241s | think so uh maybe yes i think the |
| 2244s | biggest problem with it right now is the |
| 2246s | um |
| 2247s | the scaling speed of it i think it |
| 2249s | should get harder faster |
| 2253s | so we're not seeing thousand wave runs |
| 2255s | as something to compete in |
| 2269s | because because right right now there's |
| 2271s | a lot of endurance factor |
| 2275s | um |
| 2277s | i don't know if endurance is like |
| 2279s | something we want to have be a major |
| 2280s | factor |
| 2282s | in uh |
| 2283s | arena pushing |
| 2284s | like can you sit at your computer for a |
| 2286s | thousand waves or like |
| 2289s | leave it running at uh at a mid mid |
| 2292s | midway break |
| 2294s | or mid-run break |
| 2297s | for a long time you know |
| 2303s | will there be seasonal challenges to |
| 2304s | complete four rewards or something |
| 2306s | similar |
| 2307s | in latter seasons yeah we're not exactly |
| 2309s | set on uh how that's gonna look |
| 2310s | specifically but yeah there will be |
| 2312s | um |
| 2314s | specific content for each ladder season |
| 2317s | and |
| 2319s | you'll get different rewards based on |
| 2322s | interacting with that or not um |
| 2324s | sometimes that will come in the form of |
| 2326s | new content and |
| 2328s | uh or new challenges or |
| 2331s | um |
| 2332s | new mtx that's available uh new skills |
| 2335s | it can be basically anything |
| 2340s | we just clicked that midair that's |
| 2342s | pretty cool |
| 2343s | look mario grabbing the flagpole |
| 2351s | just need a thousand wave simulator yeah |
| 2356s | so we do have the arena key of memory |
| 2358s | that lets you start halfway to where you |
| 2359s | were um |
| 2361s | which which i think saved a lot of the |
| 2363s | problems with it |
| 2364s | um but still might not be quite |
| 2374s | there's a weird exalted item |
| 2379s | that's a weird exalted item that's |
| 2381s | really rare to see |
| 2382s | just a single exalted stat and nothing |
| 2384s | else it's kind of cool |
| 2398s | i want to keep it |
| 2411s | give me that xp give me that xp |
| 2421s | you found a single exalted with hell |
| 2423s | today yeah that's nice |
| 2425s | because exalted come with a fair bit of |
| 2426s | fortune potential so when they have that |
| 2429s | you can um |
| 2433s | you just |
| 2434s | work on them like an open slate a little |
| 2436s | bit right put exactly what you want on |
| 2437s | them |
| 2446s | that would be a cool reward to have |
| 2448s | items where it's guaranteed that all of |
| 2450s | the mods are exalted |
| 2451s | but it doesn't guarantee how many mods |
| 2453s | the items have |
| 2461s | so you get a lot of just like single mod |
| 2462s | items but you get some like two mod |
| 2464s | items two mod exalted |
| 2478s | hey |
| 2480s | how's it going |
| 2490s | trying to push through this as quickly |
| 2493s | as i can |
| 2499s | squirrels are just doing work |
| 2508s | i just get so angry |
| 2517s | forgot it was friday |
| 2519s | well happy friday to you |
| 2527s | he's the first |
| 2529s | oh we're gonna have a stream on canada |
| 2531s | day |
| 2532s | oh |
| 2539s | hmm |
| 2560s | it does yeah kane falls on canada today |
| 2562s | i don't know i kind of want i kind of |
| 2563s | want to not be uh working on canada |
| 2565s | today but if i had to do anything |
| 2568s | with work on canada day this would |
| 2569s | definitely be it |
| 2576s | there's an xp one come here my pretty |
| 2579s | little experience |
| 2585s | have you guys ever thought of a ultra |
| 2587s | rare currency like mirrors from poe |
| 2590s | may |
| 2591s | be |
| 2593s | uh |
| 2596s | that can add one to four lp but have it |
| 2598s | weighted so a one two is more average |
| 2601s | from uh |
| 2603s | from |
| 2606s | tis |
| 2607s | and 3 4 ultra rare um so yeah yes we |
| 2610s | have |
| 2611s | uh oh wait did last episode in the game |
| 2614s | uh |
| 2615s | oh it's not in a second sorry uh did we |
| 2617s | have we considered an ultra rare uh |
| 2619s | crafting material with um that can can |
| 2622s | add lp to uniques absolutely we |
| 2624s | considered it um |
| 2625s | we |
| 2626s | intentionally said no that we weren't |
| 2628s | going to do it specifically because |
| 2630s | um |
| 2634s | it it creates an additive |
| 2637s | uh rarity to legendary potential on |
| 2640s | uniques |
| 2641s | um |
| 2644s | and |
| 2645s | and and that |
| 2647s | it skews the chance to get it a lot |
| 2650s | um so say you have like a |
| 2655s | two items that can drop |
| 2657s | that can cause like two different things |
| 2659s | once you add a second item to the pool |
| 2661s | that can give that unique legendary |
| 2663s | potential the item itself just having |
| 2664s | legendary potential or this other unique |
| 2666s | that gives it legendary potential um the |
| 2669s | chances of having a legendary potential |
| 2671s | version of a unique that you want is the |
| 2673s | chance that each of those dropping |
| 2674s | independently added together so it's an |
| 2676s | additive chance modifier not a |
| 2678s | multiplicative chance modifier |
| 2681s | um and multiplicative chance modifiers |
| 2683s | you can you can have a really small |
| 2685s | effect so you can be like okay well this |
| 2687s | this will actually increase the overall |
| 2688s | chance of getting uh legendary uh |
| 2691s | whatever item by |
| 2693s | um by maybe like one percent |
| 2696s | but um if you have something that's |
| 2698s | additive it can actually |
| 2700s | will frequently do it by way more so the |
| 2703s | only way we could we could actually make |
| 2704s | that be possible but still be |
| 2706s | um |
| 2708s | like |
| 2709s | reasonable to to add to the game without |
| 2711s | having to also simultaneously nerf the |
| 2713s | chance of getting legendary potential on |
| 2715s | the item or just the drop rate of that |
| 2716s | item overall |
| 2718s | on the ones that are really rare um |
| 2720s | we would basically have to |
| 2724s | make the chance of this thing dropping |
| 2725s | so ultra mega rare that it's just |
| 2728s | there's no point |
| 2730s | in having it so it's it's one of those |
| 2731s | things where it causes too many like |
| 2734s | why is this so rare moments |
| 2737s | on other items by by adding it in so we |
| 2739s | can't really add it |
| 2740s | a long way away saying yes we considered |
| 2742s | it sorry it's not happening |
| 2745s | um |
| 2747s | it's possible that it could be done as a |
| 2749s | reward for a very specific challenge um |
| 2753s | that's maybe possible to do |
| 2755s | um so we've looked at that as a reward |
| 2756s | for a dungeon but it still has the same |
| 2758s | additive effect |
| 2760s | um |
| 2768s | it's a cool item |
| 2771s | uh wait is last epoch uh canadian game |
| 2774s | last epoch is an international game |
| 2776s | technically the um |
| 2779s | uh home office so to speak home office |
| 2782s | is in the states um i think there's more |
| 2785s | people in the states than anywhere else |
| 2786s | but there's people all over the world um |
| 2788s | it's very international we're a fully |
| 2790s | remote team |
| 2791s | i am in canada there's there's several |
| 2794s | other canadian members on the team um |
| 2797s | for a long time it was just me |
| 2800s | actually no no i thought not that long |
| 2801s | we were saying remember jordan pretty |
| 2802s | early actually |
| 2803s | um |
| 2808s | yeah |
| 2810s | we got people all over |
| 2812s | i like to say throw dart at the map |
| 2814s | you'll likely hit somewhere that |
| 2816s | a country we've got someone in and part |
| 2818s | of that's because we've got people in |
| 2819s | the biggest countries uh geographically |
| 2822s | but partially also because just so many |
| 2823s | countries |
| 2828s | i've had a really cool website just a |
| 2829s | little side here about a really cool |
| 2831s | website that lets you see |
| 2832s | different |
| 2834s | map |
| 2835s | projections of earth |
| 2837s | and it's it's wild to see the size of |
| 2840s | the country |
| 2841s | shift so dramatically |
| 2843s | based on the projection style you're |
| 2845s | using for the map |
| 2847s | um |
| 2848s | and it's crazy to see like the |
| 2851s | because there's a lot of problems in the |
| 2853s | size of certain things the distance |
| 2854s | between certain objects of some map |
| 2856s | projections that we use really |
| 2858s | frequently to show kids from a really |
| 2859s | young age um and it causes people to be |
| 2861s | a little |
| 2862s | unclear as to why certain things are |
| 2865s | true |
| 2866s | like |
| 2867s | and and this goes back to uh |
| 2869s | let's let's not get bogged down with the |
| 2870s | politics of this someone at some point |
| 2872s | said this and got |
| 2874s | ridiculed for it well they should have |
| 2875s | been ridiculed purpose for a different |
| 2876s | reason not for what they actually said |
| 2878s | but why this or when they said it |
| 2879s | anyways forgot this back to what it is |
| 2881s | you can see russia from the states |
| 2886s | they are close enough to view each other |
| 2888s | from the shores of their borders |
| 2891s | um |
| 2894s | it's a |
| 2894s | basically abandoned part of russia and |
| 2897s | uh extremely remote part of alaska |
| 2903s | but it's true and and looking at most |
| 2905s | maps you would have no idea that that is |
| 2908s | true |
| 2912s | those things cool |
| 2915s | what have i done |
| 2926s | getting a lot of bonus stability in this |
| 2927s | one my goodness me |
| 2937s | just turn it on let's go |
| 2939s | bring everyone |
| 2962s | we got it |
| 2967s | oh here we go is the question i love the |
| 2969s | game but i have noticed that some of the |
| 2970s | sound effects and abilities don't quite |
| 2972s | have the weight crunch so they feel like |
| 2973s | they should the planck's just sound |
| 2974s | design |
| 2975s | everything's constantly being improved |
| 2977s | and sound design is one of those things |
| 2978s | um we do have a wonderful sound engineer |
| 2981s | that's going through and |
| 2982s | uh knocking out |
| 2985s | new sound effects all over the place |
| 2988s | constantly so yeah |
| 2990s | uh any rpg really really needs super |
| 2992s | rare chase items to keep people playing |
| 2994s | more than two three weeks into league i |
| 2995s | agree |
| 2996s | especially if there is any form of |
| 2998s | trading in the game pb has a good |
| 3000s | balance when it comes to this but it's |
| 3001s | super important that players can make |
| 3003s | fun powerful builds about them as well |
| 3004s | or they just get frustrated i agree |
| 3009s | i don't think there's anything wrong |
| 3010s | with anything he just said i think we're |
| 3011s | doing a pretty good job of that too |
| 3012s | because we do have some extremely rare |
| 3015s | items |
| 3016s | um |
| 3018s | that will take longer than two or three |
| 3019s | weeks of most people playing to get for |
| 3022s | sure um |
| 3024s | and they're not really necessary most of |
| 3026s | them anyways they're not really |
| 3027s | necessary to turn on a build um or |
| 3029s | there's always like a better version of |
| 3030s | them you could get if you do get one |
| 3035s | uh any idea when we will get another |
| 3037s | development update not sure exactly |
| 3041s | um |
| 3045s | i'd hope pretty soon |
| 3048s | sabo monster has subscribed with twitch |
| 3051s | prime thank you very much |
| 3055s | ems society appreciates it |
| 3057s | i would assume they do at least i |
| 3059s | shouldn't speak for them |
| 3061s | be surprised if they didn't |
| 3079s | uh any consideration for even higher |
| 3081s | levels of rarity for some items not even |
| 3083s | the most powerful items just kind of |
| 3085s | items that give russia wow i actually |
| 3087s | found xyz um i i mean like |
| 3090s | i feel like we've already got items in |
| 3092s | that category like |
| 3093s | raise your hand if you actually dropped |
| 3094s | a ravenous void like razer and if you've |
| 3097s | got a legendary ravenous void |
| 3099s | you're probably lying if you still got |
| 3101s | your hand up you know um |
| 3107s | there's there's a few items in that |
| 3109s | category as well and there's like |
| 3111s | there's some crafting items that like |
| 3113s | this this is not dropped very frequently |
| 3116s | at all |
| 3126s | there's also room for um |
| 3128s | so maybe incredibly rare fun items that |
| 3130s | don't necessarily have high power |
| 3133s | i know it's kind of weird for that to be |
| 3134s | a thing but just |
| 3137s | like i guess it kind of falls into the |
| 3139s | easter egg category at that point |
| 3145s | thank you very much |
| 3150s | thanks man |
| 3153s | stick around you might learn something |
| 3156s | [Laughter] |
| 3166s | someone i've known for a very long time |
| 3178s | proto fragrance yes it was sarah palin |
| 3180s | that i was referring to |
| 3195s | uh is there a way to see the attributes |
| 3198s | an item had before you crafted on it |
| 3200s | because sometimes i'm confused about an |
| 3202s | item |
| 3203s | uh when an item is slightly lower |
| 3205s | affixes drops but due to the crafting |
| 3208s | potential it might still get better than |
| 3210s | my current one |
| 3212s | uh there's no history there's no item |
| 3214s | history |
| 3215s | um |
| 3218s | short answer no and |
| 3220s | i i don't think we could |
| 3222s | okay we could add that it's true it |
| 3224s | would um |
| 3226s | really dramatically increase the |
| 3229s | uh the size of item files |
| 3233s | um |
| 3234s | i i doubt we would do that |
| 3238s | anytime soon |
| 3255s | so though you have a |
| 3257s | a 2 lp |
| 3259s | ravenous void |
| 3261s | that is unbelievably awesome |
| 3271s | that's that's like |
| 3276s | what do you even try and put on that |
| 3277s | right |
| 3280s | do you try and go like generic so it |
| 3281s | works in basically any build so you can |
| 3283s | use it |
| 3284s | like in anything or do you try and go |
| 3286s | really specific to make one thing the |
| 3288s | best it can be |
| 3291s | so it's less reusable but it's stronger |
| 3293s | for the thing you're going to use it on |
| 3295s | this depends if you're an alcoholic or |
| 3296s | not |
| 3301s | you've had it for three four months too |
| 3302s | scared to actually use it yeah i mean |
| 3304s | that's that's that's the thing so like |
| 3306s | there's an ultra mega rare item right |
| 3308s | there |
| 3319s | what a crafted tag on the mod the |
| 3322s | solution viewable for the mouth kind of |
| 3323s | holding it yeah i mean so that's yeah |
| 3325s | that doesn't add too much more data to |
| 3327s | the item it does add more data to the |
| 3328s | item |
| 3329s | um it would add four bits or |
| 3333s | four units to the string |
| 3337s | only string but |
| 3339s | the number |
| 3345s | which does increase the amount of data |
| 3346s | by a lot |
| 3357s | you basically have to assume every time |
| 3358s | you're every time you're like building a |
| 3360s | system |
| 3361s | with with network transfer you kind of |
| 3363s | have to assume that every single call |
| 3365s | is the worst case call and then again |
| 3368s | it's an exaggeration oversimplification |
| 3371s | um |
| 3373s | but you it still has to perform reliably |
| 3375s | if someone's sending a call that has |
| 3378s | like |
| 3378s | dozens of items that have that |
| 3382s | modification on every single mod |
| 3400s | it's worth nothing because it's single |
| 3402s | player no it's worth a ton of bragging |
| 3404s | rights |
| 3406s | it's what it's worth |
| 3427s | i realized so i got guys coming over to |
| 3428s | play magic tonight and i realized that |
| 3430s | my kitchen table is not |
| 3433s | uh really big enough on its own for that |
| 3435s | many people |
| 3437s | so i was trying like a little folding |
| 3439s | card table that i was like trying to set |
| 3440s | up in my kitchen |
| 3442s | like fit it was too big so i said you |
| 3445s | know what don't care i'm going |
| 3448s | like pushed everything in the living |
| 3449s | room away from the wall up to the walls |
| 3451s | like moved into other rooms |
| 3455s | i'm gonna drag my kitchen table into my |
| 3457s | living room we're gonna play magic there |
| 3459s | stoked |
| 3461s | the wife's visiting me the in-laws well |
| 3464s | my in-laws |
| 3467s | took the kid with her |
| 3471s | the house is gonna turn into a gaming |
| 3472s | den for a week |
| 3477s | it's perfect |
| 3480s | the true nuts build |
| 3484s | nice |
| 3487s | you should stick around and uh keep keep |
| 3489s | bringing that fire |
| 3491s | i like it |
| 3495s | probably gets asked a lot but will there |
| 3496s | be some kind of integrated trading |
| 3498s | market in multiplayer um we've still |
| 3501s | yet to uh describe to the public exactly |
| 3504s | what's going to happen um |
| 3507s | we are |
| 3508s | planning to have a system by which items |
| 3510s | you find will not be exclusively only |
| 3513s | for you |
| 3514s | um |
| 3517s | and |
| 3518s | it is possible to obtain items from |
| 3520s | something other than dropping them |
| 3521s | yourself |
| 3524s | so it's about as specific as i can get |
| 3526s | right now and i know that's like the |
| 3528s | most vague definition of a trading |
| 3530s | system that ever existed but uh so |
| 3533s | that's all i got for you |
| 3540s | i edh yes edh |
| 3542s | absolutely edh |
| 3545s | i got some spicy brews coming up |
| 3550s | i really like taking color pop colors |
| 3552s | and like trying to break the pie with |
| 3553s | them |
| 3554s | so like and blue is my favorite color to |
| 3556s | do this with |
| 3557s | so i've uh i played a blue landfall deck |
| 3560s | a while ago that was a lot of fun which |
| 3561s | is usually primarily a green mechanic |
| 3563s | but it can be any colors so mono blue |
| 3565s | landfall um now i'm building a mono blue |
| 3567s | aggro deck blues |
| 3569s | usually not the aggro color at all so |
| 3573s | you know gotta keep people guessing be |
| 3574s | like oh mono blue deck no big deal |
| 3577s | aggro |
| 3579s | you know |
| 3581s | uh |
| 3583s | with multi drops is there going to be a |
| 3584s | currency system attached to it for |
| 3586s | people that want to trade um i don't |
| 3588s | have any details for you on that sorry |
| 3591s | uh umbra blades overpowered or just |
| 3593s | really good and flexible with the fix to |
| 3596s | flurry exacerbating the comparison |
| 3598s | problem um |
| 3601s | yeah i think it might be a little on the |
| 3602s | strong side um |
| 3605s | i don't think it's crazy out of bounds |
| 3608s | um but i think it'll be a little on the |
| 3610s | strong side |
| 3613s | there's there's some changes to ailments |
| 3614s | coming |
| 3615s | that um |
| 3618s | i think will diversify the build options |
| 3620s | available to it and bring some of the |
| 3622s | more extreme build possibilities back in |
| 3624s | line a bit |
| 3630s | without you know nerfing into the ground |
| 3635s | because even if you nerfed a bunch it |
| 3637s | still ain't in the ground |
| 3644s | i don't think it's any like direct like |
| 3647s | nerf that ability |
| 3648s | planned at the moment |
| 3658s | all right all right all right where are |
| 3659s | we going let's go this way |
| 3664s | actually called the character air jordan |
| 3665s | those leaves are huge |
| 3667s | all |
| 3669s | right sounds like you need a garage i |
| 3672s | have a garage however i built this |
| 3674s | lovely office in it |
| 3685s | it's quite small it's like it's like |
| 3686s | half my garage |
| 3690s | my living room is the exact same size as |
| 3692s | the whole garage just directly above it |
| 3707s | also my 3d printer going now in the |
| 3709s | garage |
| 3711s | fantastic |
| 3715s | now tobu and chat and i have been doing |
| 3716s | a lot of that together |
| 3718s | he got one at the same time as i did and |
| 3720s | we've been uh he's been modding his a |
| 3723s | lot and it's |
| 3724s | could do some crazy stuff mine is almost |
| 3727s | completely stuck still i'm just like duh |
| 3729s | it prints stuff it's good |
| 3740s | uh with the new baldur's gate release |
| 3741s | suit yeah balls gate just released today |
| 3742s | full release pre-release was last |
| 3744s | weekend |
| 3745s | um |
| 3746s | i've got the party time pre-release |
| 3747s | recon that i bought i'm gonna go pick |
| 3750s | that up |
| 3751s | this evening |
| 3754s | we've got a we've got a draft box that |
| 3756s | we're going to do too probably not |
| 3757s | tonight |
| 3761s | but the commander drafts that's done so |
| 3763s | well |
| 3764s | it's unbelievable |
| 3769s | started working on a cube i haven't got |
| 3770s | much into it yet |
| 3772s | but we get uh eight six or nine oh in |
| 3775s | september probably one of the two |
| 3780s | and it might not be september it could |
| 3781s | be earlier it could be later |
| 3783s | sometime september-ish there and about |
| 3785s | roughly |
| 3790s | lots of info right just such a wealth of |
| 3792s | info about details and timelines i'm |
| 3794s | sorry it's it's so much of it is |
| 3798s | can can change like someone can have a |
| 3800s | breakthrough on a project that was we |
| 3803s | planned for two weeks and |
| 3804s | it just slides into place and |
| 3806s | everything's great and in two days or |
| 3808s | sometimes the project that we're like |
| 3809s | this should be over in an hour it takes |
| 3811s | a month you know like there's so much of |
| 3813s | that where sometimes it swings really |
| 3815s | hard one way or the other and it affects |
| 3817s | timelines i mean we're constantly making |
| 3819s | tweaks to how uh when we're gonna do |
| 3821s | what what order we're gonna do things in |
| 3823s | and and uh what our goals for for each |
| 3825s | patch are |
| 3826s | all of that it changes so rapidly um |
| 3829s | that's really difficult to provide |
| 3831s | accurate estimations other than like the |
| 3834s | the alternative is really to provide |
| 3836s | accurate estimations and just make them |
| 3837s | so far in the future that like we can do |
| 3839s | that for sure |
| 3841s | um |
| 3843s | yeah |
| 3852s | apparently already answered some |
| 3853s | question someone asked |
| 3856s | cool |
| 3864s | how will |
| 3865s | how will you tackle real money trading |
| 3866s | if it becomes an issue yeah i mean so |
| 3868s | this is some of those things that's |
| 3870s | going to depend very heavily on what's |
| 3872s | allowing real money trading to thrive um |
| 3875s | and exactly it will affect how we |
| 3878s | approach it for sure |
| 3881s | the most important part about dealing |
| 3882s | with that is providing a positive play |
| 3884s | experience for the people who aren't |
| 3886s | um |
| 3888s | cheating the wrong word who aren't using |
| 3890s | the rmt system |
| 3891s | um |
| 3894s | so |
| 3895s | focusing on not ruining the game for |
| 3897s | people who are playing it the way it's |
| 3899s | intended i think is the the key approach |
| 3902s | there |
| 3903s | where um |
| 3904s | if we're like oh we can stomp out rmt |
| 3906s | completely but it's going to make |
| 3908s | everyone's lives suck |
| 3910s | probably not a good solution to do |
| 3912s | um |
| 3915s | or you know like maybe there's not then |
| 3917s | the option is just a second option |
| 3918s | there's a second option there at the |
| 3920s | same time that's like well it doesn't |
| 3921s | remove it completely but it makes it so |
| 3923s | it's kind of poor and inefficient or |
| 3926s | something like that |
| 3927s | but it doesn't affect everyone else |
| 3928s | who's playing normally um we'd probably |
| 3931s | go with that second option and it's and |
| 3932s | i say probably and everything because |
| 3933s | it's it's on a case-by-case situation |
| 3936s | but um the focus will always be keeping |
| 3938s | the game fun and engaging and enjoyable |
| 3940s | and um |
| 3942s | all these things for the people who are |
| 3944s | you know respecting the intention and |
| 3946s | respecting the rules and um all that |
| 3951s | and and a big a big part of that um |
| 3954s | having that game for everyone who is |
| 3956s | following the |
| 3957s | the the no rmt guidelines type thing um |
| 3961s | is |
| 3962s | and rng is one of those weird things |
| 3963s | we're stamping out rmt stuff is |
| 3966s | uh something that helps make |
| 3968s | non-rmt gameplay fun because you're not |
| 3969s | competing with people who are paying |
| 3970s | money |
| 3972s | when you're |
| 3973s | not um |
| 3978s | so yeah it's it's definitely a fine line |
| 3980s | and a tricky thing to answer hope |
| 3982s | hopefully i'll give you uh some idea of |
| 3984s | um |
| 3986s | the approach we would take to it though |
| 3988s | in the event that it happened a lot of |
| 3990s | times it's something as simple as just |
| 3991s | like being able to detect the accounts |
| 3993s | that's happening on and banning them and |
| 3995s | when there's a sticker price on the game |
| 3996s | every time you ban someone they have to |
| 3998s | pay 35 bucks to get back in right so |
| 4000s | like you can find an account that's |
| 4002s | providing a lot of rmt services um and |
| 4005s | you can ban them ban that account before |
| 4007s | they |
| 4008s | make 35 dollars worth of profits not 300 |
| 4012s | worth of profit |
| 4013s | um |
| 4016s | like they have to be able to make 35 |
| 4018s | with the profit every time within the |
| 4019s | time frame that it takes us to find and |
| 4021s | ban them um |
| 4022s | in order for the account to be viable to |
| 4025s | to continue to do that |
| 4027s | um at just absolute minimums they're not |
| 4029s | losing money with each account and then |
| 4031s | uh |
| 4033s | we have a bunch of leeway there because |
| 4036s | as long as we're just making it harder |
| 4037s | than it is to keep up and make a |
| 4039s | reasonable profit people won't bother |
| 4049s | also the nature of the trading system as |
| 4051s | a whole will |
| 4053s | uh |
| 4055s | probably make rmt really difficult to do |
| 4058s | uh effectively |
| 4061s | real close to getting that full bar |
| 4063s | we're definitely going to power through |
| 4064s | this one this bad this a single monolith |
| 4066s | in this this uh go through |
| 4074s | buffs first nerfs which uh which we |
| 4076s | getting more of next update |
| 4079s | i have no idea because we've not even |
| 4081s | done |
| 4083s | a tiny fraction of the buffs or nerfs |
| 4085s | that will happen next update |
| 4087s | quite frequently um buff nerf |
| 4089s | uh details happen all there's usually |
| 4092s | something that'll happen like really |
| 4093s | early in the patch where we're like okay |
| 4095s | this is the way it was last batch this |
| 4096s | has to change we'll make a big change |
| 4098s | we'll play with it for a long time um |
| 4101s | and then as we get closer to as we go |
| 4103s | through the patch cycle we're working |
| 4104s | we're adding new things there's a lot of |
| 4106s | new content coming in that changes the |
| 4107s | relative um power level of a lot of a |
| 4110s | lot of different things sometimes adding |
| 4111s | a new item will will buff a skill or |
| 4114s | adding a new item will |
| 4116s | make another skill actually worse by |
| 4117s | comparison because there's you know that |
| 4120s | it pushes another one further ahead or |
| 4121s | something and so um after we've added |
| 4124s | all of the or most of the items and |
| 4126s | skills and um levels and content and all |
| 4129s | these things um |
| 4131s | i think content can change the overall |
| 4132s | balance because so you add say um fire |
| 4134s | damage is really bad when you add |
| 4136s | content where fire damage is really good |
| 4137s | suddenly all the fire damage builds |
| 4138s | become better just by based on the |
| 4140s | content that's available so we usually |
| 4142s | do a lot of the the fine detail patch um |
| 4146s | balancing a lot closer to launch |
| 4148s | um |
| 4149s | some of it we like to do far out so we |
| 4151s | can test it make sure it's stable but |
| 4153s | little things like okay let's say |
| 4155s | um |
| 4156s | swipe does five percent more damage you |
| 4158s | know like like that a buff like that is |
| 4161s | likely not something that we would do we |
| 4162s | would need a lot of time to |
| 4164s | um |
| 4166s | to test and make sure was good |
| 4171s | so it probably doesn't need a buff it's |
| 4173s | pretty strong |
| 4177s | [Music] |
| 4184s | there will be a lot of them though |
| 4187s | when the initial base class were |
| 4189s | designed was the intention of the devs |
| 4191s | to make some classes have better end |
| 4193s | game potential than others with better |
| 4194s | early game potential no not at all |
| 4197s | uh made |
| 4199s | props |
| 4201s | mad props to whoever designed built the |
| 4202s | loop filter system i mean uh building |
| 4205s | rules engines of c sharp expressions |
| 4207s | tree and holy penis struggle yeah |
| 4210s | uh |
| 4212s | i know who that was and he is a |
| 4214s | wizard |
| 4227s | what are your thoughts on sites like |
| 4228s | dtjsp uh |
| 4232s | i've talked for hours on dgsb |
| 4234s | um |
| 4235s | [Music] |
| 4240s | yeah |
| 4243s | i i'd rather not get too far into dtgsb |
| 4246s | specifically um |
| 4250s | there's an inherent danger in |
| 4253s | and i guess we can use uh site setup the |
| 4256s | same way d2 jsp is set up |
| 4259s | partially because |
| 4263s | there's a lot of potential for |
| 4266s | players who are interacting with |
| 4271s | how do i say this the the line between |
| 4273s | what's a first party and third-party |
| 4274s | service can blur really easily |
| 4278s | um and if a site becomes large enough |
| 4281s | and ubiquitous enough with the game it |
| 4282s | can feel like a first-party feature um |
| 4287s | and whenever those first party but |
| 4289s | those third party features that feel |
| 4290s | like first party features |
| 4292s | um |
| 4293s | can |
| 4294s | uh |
| 4295s | deal with real money |
| 4297s | there's a potential for people to get |
| 4299s | burned |
| 4300s | and |
| 4302s | attribute that feeling of being burned |
| 4304s | with the game |
| 4306s | um |
| 4308s | which is |
| 4309s | unfortunate um it's it's totally fair |
| 4312s | for those people to feel that way |
| 4315s | but it sucks for people to make the game |
| 4319s | um and there's an incredible amount of |
| 4323s | power in dtjsp system with these site |
| 4326s | creators |
| 4327s | um and and |
| 4330s | i i i i'm trying really hard not to say |
| 4333s | that there's anything inherently bad or |
| 4334s | wrong about d2jsb because there's a lot |
| 4336s | of people that use it and love it and it |
| 4339s | works absolutely great for them |
| 4341s | um |
| 4343s | and there's |
| 4344s | a lot of people who have tried to use it |
| 4346s | and had a really poor experience |
| 4348s | um and i wouldn't say it's large enough |
| 4349s | that it's ubiquitous and gets blurred |
| 4351s | with being a third-party first party |
| 4352s | thing at all i'm just kind of trying to |
| 4354s | use as an example of um what could |
| 4357s | happen |
| 4360s | yeah i hope that uh gives a little |
| 4363s | insight i tried i know i said a lot |
| 4365s | without actually saying much it's a lot |
| 4367s | of words wouldn't say a lot of things |
| 4369s | um |
| 4376s | when can we expect multiplayer i'm sorry |
| 4378s | i don't have a specific time for you |
| 4380s | basically when it's ready |
| 4387s | i think dtj is also a really interesting |
| 4389s | case because it is uh it's from a lot |
| 4392s | older point on the internet |
| 4394s | you know like um |
| 4396s | the internet grows up fast and |
| 4400s | um |
| 4403s | people on the internet don't grow up |
| 4404s | very fast sometimes but you know it's |
| 4406s | another issue |
| 4406s | [Laughter] |
| 4409s | um but the the internet itself i think |
| 4411s | changes quite quickly |
| 4412s | and the technology that comes along with |
| 4414s | it |
| 4415s | can change you know what's good what's |
| 4418s | bad what's right what's wrong pretty |
| 4420s | easily |
| 4426s | so what dtg jsp was |
| 4428s | 10 years ago |
| 4430s | is really not what it is today as well |
| 4440s | i think we're gonna hop into getting the |
| 4441s | boss pretty soon here |
| 4444s | any spoilers this week i thought you'd |
| 4446s | never ask i do expose this week as soon |
| 4449s | as i beat the boss |
| 4451s | i have a sweet spoiler for |
| 4453s | you i i teased i teased what the teaser |
| 4456s | is going to be earlier today it's |
| 4458s | related to something i posted two weeks |
| 4459s | ago |
| 4461s | uh give you a little |
| 4464s | so it's related to this image here |
| 4470s | almost died |
| 4483s | all the spoilers oh the spoilers |
| 4514s | looks very paladiny |
| 4516s | [Music] |
| 4519s | i think it says on it what it references |
| 4526s | another cliff of despair that's pretty |
| 4528s | sweet |
| 4531s | uh we're there let's go for gold |
| 4534s | i almost i almost went for it so any |
| 4537s | chance you release warlock before i buy |
| 4538s | the game tomorrow morning no |
| 4540s | i can tell you it's not coming out |
| 4542s | tomorrow morning that's that's that's |
| 4544s | for sure sorry |
| 4552s | so you're saying there's a chance no i'm |
| 4554s | saying there's not a chance |
| 4563s | i know this is what warlock's not coming |
| 4564s | next patch either well it's not coming |
| 4566s | next patch well |
| 4569s | there's something horrible changes but |
| 4570s | there's no plans for like next patch |
| 4572s | right now at all |
| 4587s | what are your goals for september 3rd |
| 4590s | uh to celebrate your birthday since you |
| 4592s | made it a september post |
| 4595s | uh i i |
| 4599s | quite i love the way you word that |
| 4601s | trying to trying to get me to slip |
| 4604s | trying to get me to try to get me to |
| 4605s | spoil something here |
| 4614s | uh i can say that there's some pretty |
| 4616s | cool stuff planned for the |
| 4618s | in and around somewhere september-ish |
| 4620s | roughly patch |
| 4626s | that's real cool |
| 4630s | uh the question here again um will the |
| 4632s | patch in september 8 6 |
| 4634s | 9 0 well will the patch in september be |
| 4637s | 869 so i did answer this before um the |
| 4639s | patch that is roughly somewhere |
| 4640s | september-ish in and around there could |
| 4643s | be |
| 4644s | uh either one of those things |
| 4647s | um |
| 4649s | i don't i don't have i don't know which |
| 4651s | one it will be |
| 4652s | uh i think likely it'll be eight six |
| 4661s | planned for it's planned to be 86 it's |
| 4663s | so far off guys it's so far off |
| 4668s | it's so hard to tell what's gonna happen |
| 4669s | that far off |
| 4672s | and i think i think we kind of set that |
| 4673s | date so far out because it's just like |
| 4675s | a lot's gonna change between now and |
| 4676s | then we'll we'll have a better idea |
| 4679s | closer to it |
| 4689s | as of today what are the dev's thoughts |
| 4691s | on where melee builds stand in l.a |
| 4693s | versus skull range builds ah it's so |
| 4695s | tricky because there's so there's such a |
| 4697s | big |
| 4698s | um |
| 4699s | diversity in melee builds so like |
| 4701s | um and and not all melee builds are |
| 4704s | created equal right |
| 4705s | um so like warpath is a melee build it's |
| 4709s | so unbelievably different than |
| 4712s | um |
| 4713s | even flame reef that's a melee build |
| 4714s | right like |
| 4716s | um |
| 4718s | it's it's hard to kind of |
| 4721s | uh make a generalized statement there i |
| 4723s | think that there might be |
| 4725s | [Music] |
| 4726s | a little too many boss mechanics that |
| 4729s | favor ranged builds right now |
| 4731s | i'm gonna make a generalized statement |
| 4740s | and most of the time we try and give |
| 4743s | melee builds better defensive options |
| 4745s | there's less need |
| 4747s | to interact with as many of those |
| 4750s | um |
| 4751s | big mechanics but sometimes it's not |
| 4753s | really |
| 4755s | uh |
| 4756s | it doesn't come through fully |
| 4760s | and you just you end up just spending |
| 4762s | less time dpsing because you have to |
| 4764s | move and you can't attack from a certain |
| 4766s | range |
| 4768s | which is sort of the inherent it's it's |
| 4770s | it's like that's the that's the push and |
| 4771s | pull of melee versus range is usually |
| 4774s | melee builds are |
| 4776s | beefier tankier can handle more stuff |
| 4778s | but |
| 4779s | you know you're you're the the area on |
| 4782s | the screen that you're capable of |
| 4783s | dealing damage to an enemy in |
| 4785s | is smaller |
| 4789s | um and i i can see there's some |
| 4791s | mechanics i've seen suggested that would |
| 4794s | favor melee more |
| 4798s | and and sometimes we do try and uh |
| 4800s | slip in boss mechanics where we're like |
| 4803s | um |
| 4805s | like well this this hits range this this |
| 4806s | little this hurts ranged only or this it |
| 4808s | starts melee only and and we'll |
| 4810s | definitely um put those mechanics in |
| 4812s | pretty intentionally sometimes putting |
| 4814s | them side by side |
| 4815s | sometimes the version of that mechanic |
| 4817s | like they say we put in one that's like |
| 4819s | really hard on range when it's really |
| 4820s | hard on melee and we put them side by |
| 4822s | side but the one that's really hard on |
| 4824s | me ends up being |
| 4825s | worse to deal with |
| 4827s | um |
| 4830s | it can sometimes cause uh |
| 4834s | issues |
| 4841s | a fix would be giving melee skills take |
| 4843s | x less damage one or two seconds after |
| 4845s | hitting an opponent in melee range i |
| 4847s | mean uh vengeance does |
| 4850s | uh have something similar to that |
| 4851s | basically |
| 4852s | um a lot of people do use that |
| 4857s | who are you |
| 4858s | i am me who are you |
| 4871s | that like |
| 4872s | a mechanic like that we wouldn't put |
| 4874s | across the board |
| 4876s | um |
| 4880s | like putting that on specific abilities |
| 4882s | specific classes that sort of stuff |
| 4884s | works a lot better |
| 4891s | oh my god |
| 4893s | no one could have seen this development |
| 4894s | from happening |
| 4896s | how will we ever recover |
| 4911s | nice |
| 4913s | nice |
| 4915s | it's just there for the loot looks like |
| 4917s | something good |
| 4922s | uh question also don't forget to put out |
| 4924s | lassie pucky if you got a question and i |
| 4926s | will see it i apologize if i missed some |
| 4928s | of them |
| 4929s | here but this couple here what's your |
| 4930s | opinion on the current state of set |
| 4932s | items in the game um they're |
| 4934s | generally not strong enough but um |
| 4938s | not all of them you know |
| 4946s | uh any plans on adding specialized stash |
| 4948s | tabs like a unique tab |
| 4950s | for us collect aholics |
| 4953s | uh nothing specific at the moment but i |
| 4955s | do think it's a really good system um |
| 4957s | there's a lot of nice cities in the |
| 4958s | stack the stash could use uh i think a |
| 4960s | glow up overall some new features um |
| 4964s | some fix some fixes that need to get put |
| 4965s | in still too for some long-standing old |
| 4968s | old old bugs |
| 4971s | um |
| 4973s | so this |
| 4974s | needs some help needs like affinities |
| 4976s | like tab affinities is a really good |
| 4977s | system |
| 4978s | um that they could use still uh having |
| 4981s | having a unique tab a collectible tab or |
| 4984s | um |
| 4986s | like there's a couple ways to do that |
| 4987s | collectible tabs and you can do it in |
| 4988s | like a specific tab that has like a |
| 4992s | certain slot for each item |
| 4994s | um |
| 4994s | [Music] |
| 4996s | so you have like a specific |
| 4998s | shape slot for each item or then you can |
| 5000s | also do something along the lines of |
| 5002s | having um |
| 5003s | just just like an achievement tracker |
| 5005s | with a big list |
| 5008s | um |
| 5009s | so it's like there's grail quests and |
| 5011s | living grail quests um |
| 5015s | and it's it's kind of |
| 5017s | like the difference between but did i |
| 5019s | collect everything at some point and do |
| 5021s | i have everything now |
| 5023s | um |
| 5024s | and i'm not sure how important that do i |
| 5026s | have everything now |
| 5027s | part of the grail quest is for people or |
| 5029s | just the the way to reliably track |
| 5031s | whether or not you have once had it and |
| 5033s | have completed the challenge or not so i |
| 5035s | think that's some feedback we'd probably |
| 5036s | want to get from people who do that sort |
| 5037s | of thing frequently |
| 5046s | because i don't think anyone wants to |
| 5048s | actually keep |
| 5049s | you know like on a terrace path |
| 5051s | in their |
| 5052s | inventory or something like that they're |
| 5054s | not going to use it like |
| 5055s | great you've got to drop it on the |
| 5057s | ground who cares i don't want it anymore |
| 5064s | uh any plans to put more content to do |
| 5066s | with monolith map before multiplayer |
| 5069s | uh |
| 5071s | unlikely i think multiplayer will happen |
| 5073s | first |
| 5078s | left that's why you should break so i |
| 5080s | should take a page out of links book and |
| 5082s | smash those parts |
| 5100s | come on get that profit of agony |
| 5108s | looks spicy |
| 5109s | look too spicy for me |
| 5112s | and i like spice let me tell you |
| 5118s | who are you help me |
| 5121s | oh yeah welcome |
| 5124s | all right let's do this leeroy |
| 5133s | we need to squirrel leroy in the |
| 5134s | neighborhood because he runs down the |
| 5136s | middle of the street |
| 5137s | very brazenly |
| 5139s | every day you see him just broken down |
| 5141s | the center of the street |
| 5144s | wherever he's going |
| 5149s | he might die when he gets there |
| 5156s | uh those things make mailing skills deal |
| 5157s | more damage than reigns range skills so |
| 5159s | you could either go safe and ranged or |
| 5161s | big boy damage in melee but the balance |
| 5163s | between melee range is a huge problem in |
| 5164s | every arpg |
| 5166s | i |
| 5167s | don't know if i'd fully agree with that |
| 5176s | um but the balance team yeah uh the |
| 5178s | difference between poe is so huge right |
| 5180s | now that basically no metabuild is melee |
| 5182s | yeah i i mean there are definitely |
| 5184s | extremely strong |
| 5186s | melee metabolds in other rpgs |
| 5189s | that are by far the strongest builds in |
| 5191s | the entire game |
| 5193s | our melee builds in some rpgs |
| 5205s | uh hello the game so far but the |
| 5207s | re-leveling of the specialized skills |
| 5209s | makes it tiresome after a certain amount |
| 5211s | of time plans to change that no no plans |
| 5214s | at the moment |
| 5219s | one thing you can do if you have plans |
| 5221s | to re-level several skills |
| 5223s | um you can go into a high level monolith |
| 5225s | and find a oh my goodness |
| 5229s | mike |
| 5230s | like you know better |
| 5234s | like running to the outside like an |
| 5236s | idiot okay let me uh |
| 5239s | just |
| 5240s | uh pretend that didn't happen for a |
| 5242s | second |
| 5244s | uh |
| 5245s | yup uh yep |
| 5250s | it's not embarrassing at all totally |
| 5252s | fine |
| 5253s | totally fine |
| 5256s | here's the uh someone some wanted the |
| 5260s | link to the builds that's the build that |
| 5262s | i'm following right now |
| 5266s | what didn't happen exactly |
| 5269s | exactly |
| 5272s | uh |
| 5273s | how's my ellie reds pretty great too |
| 5276s | wow |
| 5280s | can we do let's let's do |
| 5282s | crafting break crafting break mike's |
| 5284s | gonna craft |
| 5293s | there we go |
| 5294s | okay |
| 5296s | yeah get some |
| 5298s | all right |
| 5300s | i'll take that |
| 5305s | sure |
| 5306s | all right ah that's good |
| 5315s | tony reds more |
| 5326s | it's just |
| 5330s | yes |
| 5331s | so i'm talking about right there |
| 5334s | all right |
| 5344s | i would help |
| 5346s | yeah |
| 5347s | oh that's like three crits like back to |
| 5349s | back-to-back |
| 5352s | something's going on |
| 5357s | sure bleed yes minion bleed yes |
| 5362s | let's get there |
| 5367s | uh fez void rather than it's more |
| 5369s | important to get right now |
| 5372s | that shield sucks |
| 5377s | damage |
| 5387s | okay |
| 5388s | okay |
| 5389s | you know i think |
| 5391s | we got we got a little bit of a little |
| 5392s | bit of a buff going on there |
| 5394s | let's let's come in here and grab |
| 5396s | something else anything that we really |
| 5398s | want |
| 5400s | yeah let's just get some more strength |
| 5402s | of melee fizz and minion melee fizz |
| 5407s | okay |
| 5408s | i think that was a significant upgrade |
| 5414s | boys in the office enabled streamer rng |
| 5415s | for yeah yeah every |
| 5419s | day what's the leakage you're going to |
| 5421s | do after the boss just let me let me try |
| 5423s | this just so quickly one more time i |
| 5425s | promise |
| 5435s | look i was answering your question |
| 5436s | tonight |
| 5451s | oh what are your thoughts on ward in the |
| 5452s | state of ward currently it's such a bra |
| 5461s | i think something's missing from the |
| 5463s | ward |
| 5465s | uh oh gosh |
| 5468s | what's going on here come on |
| 5472s | um |
| 5477s | i'm just gonna stand back and let them |
| 5479s | fight what am i doing |
| 5482s | oh i'm even trying |
| 5495s | yeah you guys got it i believe in your |
| 5510s | good job guys way to go |
| 5516s | i'm not afraid you're doing great oh |
| 5518s | gosh i'm afraid |
| 5535s | something's missing from |
| 5537s | like the ward calculations as a whole |
| 5539s | you know like the the the state of ward |
| 5542s | there's just like there's some |
| 5544s | it factor that's not quite falling into |
| 5546s | place i'm not sure what it is |
| 5548s | oh my god |
| 5550s | yes |
| 5551s | all right stay with me squirrel buddies |
| 5558s | [Music] |
| 5566s | don't need it it's okay |
| 5572s | that cheerleader |
| 5574s | yeah |
| 5575s | go go squirrels you can do it oh my |
| 5577s | camera was on the wrong side of the |
| 5578s | screen that's the whole problem right |
| 5580s | there |
| 5581s | that's it |
| 5582s | that's it |
| 5590s | a lot of the goals are on board are |
| 5591s | having it be like an active play style |
| 5593s | of defense |
| 5595s | that that um spellcasters can |
| 5598s | can invest in |
| 5599s | and |
| 5602s | it's it's it's hard to get that balance |
| 5604s | in just the right place um where there's |
| 5606s | like interesting ways to generate it |
| 5608s | that don't get completely out of hand at |
| 5610s | the top end and having the like the the |
| 5612s | low end still be functional have it work |
| 5614s | for you there um it's it's in a tricky |
| 5617s | spot and we're definitely |
| 5619s | working on massaging those numbers still |
| 5620s | but it's i think it's in a better spot |
| 5622s | than it has been for a long time |
| 5627s | and by better spot i don't mean like |
| 5629s | more powerful just be clear |
| 5632s | any type of strike damage changes to |
| 5633s | make uh to make it good coming uh |
| 5636s | there's no there's no changes to it yet |
| 5638s | but that doesn't mean um |
| 5643s | uh it won't change so to speak |
| 5650s | all right i did promise |
| 5653s | some stuff happened that i missed |
| 5655s | completely uh |
| 5657s | singing games tv has reset for two |
| 5659s | months throw i need to put someone to |
| 5661s | remind me so each |
| 5663s | month because like to sub each month |
| 5665s | because i always forget |
| 5668s | i believe in you and infinite loop 42 |
| 5670s | has sub for |
| 5671s | uh which twitch prime thank you very |
| 5673s | much to both of you glad to have you |
| 5674s | here hope you're having fun |
| 5677s | uh stick around and you'll see some cool |
| 5679s | things like right now |
| 5681s | here's a cool thing okay |
| 5684s | so this is um |
| 5685s | we've got the old and the new version of |
| 5688s | a uh skill |
| 5690s | the the visual display for a skill |
| 5692s | that's that's that i'm going to show you |
| 5693s | right now |
| 5695s | i'm not going to say which size it's |
| 5697s | going to be side by side |
| 5699s | of the old one and the new one i'm not |
| 5701s | going to tell you which one's the old |
| 5702s | one and which one's the new one because |
| 5704s | it can be it can be tricky to spot the |
| 5706s | difference but i want to see who can |
| 5707s | spot the difference first |
| 5709s | um so if you think you see the |
| 5710s | difference let me know what it is |
| 5713s | here we go |
| 5719s | can anyone can can anyone see the |
| 5721s | difference |
| 5725s | only only the true detectives among you |
| 5728s | will be able to spot the difference |
| 5729s | [Laughter] |
| 5738s | yeah you just get pam |
| 5740s | do the same thing |
| 5750s | so yeah |
| 5751s | you may have noticed that the um |
| 5754s | the sword and shield are a little uh |
| 5757s | reminiscent of the image we showed you |
| 5758s | previously |
| 5760s | those were the the early model versions |
| 5762s | of the sword and shield |
| 5764s | uh |
| 5765s | for manifest armor |
| 5768s | it's gonna be getting a little bit of a |
| 5769s | glow up you know we think it's a little |
| 5771s | bit better |
| 5772s | um |
| 5773s | the |
| 5775s | the one on the left was made by uh equip |
| 5779s | by taking the sentinel i don't know |
| 5781s | taking the primalist |
| 5782s | uh and equipping some gear to it that we |
| 5784s | had |
| 5785s | um and then replacing the character |
| 5787s | texture with this like blue glowy vfx |
| 5791s | effect that we got out of some pack |
| 5793s | somewhere |
| 5794s | um that gave it like a lightning body |
| 5796s | that was holding the armor together |
| 5800s | uh and finally we haven't actually |
| 5802s | properly modeled specifically for this |
| 5805s | ability |
| 5806s | character |
| 5807s | and that's not |
| 5809s | uh that image you see that's not like |
| 5812s | concept art |
| 5814s | that's a screenshot |
| 5817s | that's like that's what it looks like |
| 5822s | so |
| 5823s | pretty sweet |
| 5834s | and then i've got the um |
| 5837s | i've got a turnaround for you of that |
| 5838s | later that i'll show you as well |
| 5841s | in a little bit just get a better view |
| 5843s | of it |
| 5846s | sad you like the old one better |
| 5851s | fair enough to each their own i guess |
| 5860s | can't please everyone something |
| 5861s | something |
| 5862s | we're going with the new one |
| 5867s | concept art book for purchase when i |
| 5869s | know that we i have a um |
| 5873s | oh i don't even know where it is it's |
| 5875s | buried somewhere here probably |
| 5879s | i have the i have the zelda |
| 5882s | the big green zelda book |
| 5884s | um |
| 5885s | it's the first place they published the |
| 5886s | official timeline |
| 5887s | um |
| 5890s | and and just a bunch of concept from all |
| 5892s | the games oh my god it's great i love |
| 5895s | that book um it's got like concept art |
| 5897s | from like 15 different zelda games but |
| 5899s | it's so cool |
| 5901s | i'd love to do something like that that |
| 5902s | was that was a big undertaking for them |
| 5905s | i'm sure |
| 5913s | uh the new art for or decay will it |
| 5914s | change appearance if you switch it to |
| 5916s | necrotic damage |
| 5917s | uh |
| 5923s | yeah does it not do that already |
| 5927s | am i crazy |
| 5932s | love the afk pet build i'm here i'm |
| 5934s | helping |
| 5935s | i'm totally a member of this chatter |
| 5937s | or scurry harold scary is scary it's a |
| 5939s | group yeah scurry is a group of |
| 5941s | squirrels |
| 5953s | the eagle eye among you may have noticed |
| 5955s | that the title of the stream is a |
| 5956s | reference |
| 5966s | this is a cool build thank you |
| 5969s | you can uh rimer is the one who created |
| 5971s | this build for me |
| 5974s | i'm quite enjoying it |
| 5984s | fairly swipe just like it's |
| 5986s | there's nothing really um |
| 5989s | overly exciting and interesting about |
| 5990s | fear leap and swipe but it just feels |
| 5993s | good it's just it's dialed in mechanics |
| 5995s | are tight |
| 5996s | it's like |
| 5997s | i don't know it's just nice like i'm |
| 5999s | gonna jump at you and i'ma punch you in |
| 6001s | the face with my hammer or whatever like |
| 6003s | it's |
| 6008s | there's great of different ways to build |
| 6009s | it |
| 6010s | do elemental damage |
| 6013s | physical damage |
| 6015s | you can do it for procking stuff |
| 6017s | uh you can do it to empower minions |
| 6020s | i like that do it element focus |
| 6032s | come on spawn faster guys what's going |
| 6033s | on here |
| 6047s | scissors got really depressed when |
| 6048s | someone predicted that scurry would get |
| 6049s | nerfed |
| 6050s | okay |
| 6051s | uh |
| 6054s | i don't think it's been nerfed |
| 6058s | why did he get nerfed |
| 6061s | like it's really good for sure |
| 6064s | the range is on it the roll ranges on it |
| 6066s | are absolutely humongous |
| 6069s | like the chances of finding a really |
| 6071s | good herald of the scurry |
| 6073s | is is so low because like there's a 70 |
| 6076s | range here like the |
| 6078s | the top end |
| 6080s | on on some of these is |
| 6083s | like 5 to 75 it's such a humongous |
| 6085s | difference in power |
| 6088s | um |
| 6089s | and with on so many of them like the |
| 6091s | chances of finding a really good one are |
| 6093s | so low |
| 6110s | feel like the zones and last epic are |
| 6111s | kind of empty you want more mob density |
| 6112s | yeah some some zones are a little low on |
| 6116s | on enemies and there's there's a problem |
| 6118s | i think there's a problem that still |
| 6118s | exists on live i know we fixed it |
| 6121s | um i don't made it into a patch or not |
| 6122s | where the combination of certain enemy |
| 6125s | types can cause |
| 6127s | uh a very small number of very large |
| 6129s | enemies to appear and it causes it to |
| 6131s | feel kind of empty |
| 6133s | um |
| 6138s | a lot of times you're also comparing it |
| 6139s | to path of exile which i think may have |
| 6141s | a little bit overwhelming |
| 6143s | density in some instances not the usual |
| 6147s | case but some like sometimes when you're |
| 6149s | getting into like really extreme maps |
| 6151s | the the density gets a little on the |
| 6153s | high side |
| 6156s | um |
| 6157s | we're also still dealing with |
| 6158s | performance issues that we are working |
| 6160s | very hard towards to make better uh that |
| 6162s | make having more enemies on the screen |
| 6164s | possible with keeping frame rates better |
| 6166s | i was thinking a little bit different |
| 6168s | approach to combat in general as far as |
| 6169s | pacing and scale |
| 6181s | so i've been on wow mount collection |
| 6184s | binge |
| 6185s | my goodness you got the word cut out for |
| 6188s | you um the question is what collectibles |
| 6192s | that the player can show off you guys |
| 6193s | [ __ ] collect in the future we can |
| 6195s | obtain in-game oh great question i don't |
| 6198s | have an answer for you at all |
| 6200s | um |
| 6201s | that's that's the sort of stuff that |
| 6203s | i think we'll be focusing on more |
| 6208s | later |
| 6209s | so to speak i wouldn't call that core |
| 6211s | gameplay functionality |
| 6214s | definitely very useful for uh like |
| 6216s | player retention and longevity |
| 6219s | um and make like extending that fun |
| 6223s | and uh |
| 6225s | i i think it's very valuable to have |
| 6227s | um |
| 6228s | it's not as valuable to have if chord |
| 6232s | functions and core gameplay is not rock |
| 6233s | solid and awesome so that that stuff's |
| 6236s | got to come first |
| 6239s | there's lots of things that we talk |
| 6240s | about we play and we're like okay yeah |
| 6242s | like this is something we need |
| 6243s | eventually it's gonna happen |
| 6245s | um but |
| 6248s | here's a pile of stuff that we have to |
| 6249s | do before we release so everything |
| 6251s | that's in this doesn't need to happen |
| 6253s | before release pile that's gonna go over |
| 6255s | here for now |
| 6256s | uh and we'll get back to it and we'll |
| 6258s | figure out when that's gonna happen in |
| 6259s | relation to each other eventually but it |
| 6260s | doesn't need to happen by launch kind of |
| 6262s | just ignore it for a little bit |
| 6265s | and we take them into consideration |
| 6266s | whenever you're building a system you |
| 6267s | you want to look to like we were |
| 6268s | recently i recently just finished a |
| 6270s | um a really in-depth |
| 6272s | technical and design document for the |
| 6274s | arena |
| 6277s | um and we were coming up with things |
| 6278s | that we might want to potentially add to |
| 6280s | it in the future features we may want to |
| 6281s | extend it place we want to so we can |
| 6282s | when we're building certain multiple |
| 6284s | features for the arena now um |
| 6286s | we can |
| 6287s | predict where those extensions are gonna |
| 6288s | happen and not make decisions now |
| 6290s | that'll cause those extensions to be |
| 6291s | problems down the road |
| 6293s | um |
| 6298s | but that doesn't mean that we're |
| 6299s | actually figuring out how to make them |
| 6300s | work and making them work yet |
| 6304s | i'm really good at finding good boots |
| 6307s | it's like my talent |
| 6312s | you need to go shoe shopping bring this |
| 6313s | prime list with you |
| 6320s | you'll end up buying faux leather but |
| 6321s | that's okay |
| 6323s | it's cheaper |
| 6339s | as a developer are you aware of the |
| 6340s | performance issues of poe even on |
| 6342s | high-end pcs are you going to focus on |
| 6345s | performance and get smooth combat in |
| 6346s | your game yeah |
| 6348s | having smooth comp so okay i haven't um |
| 6351s | my computer is good but i don't think i |
| 6353s | would call it a like super high-end pc |
| 6356s | or anything like that like this like i'm |
| 6357s | i'm running a a 1080 ti |
| 6360s | um |
| 6362s | a |
| 6363s | four-year-old i7 at this point you know |
| 6366s | 32 gigs of ram |
| 6367s | an m.2 drive so yeah like a decent |
| 6370s | decent computer but nothing amazing |
| 6373s | showing its age a little bit so i don't |
| 6375s | have uh much personal experience on |
| 6377s | super high end pcs |
| 6379s | uh running path xl on like max settings |
| 6382s | uh with |
| 6383s | like |
| 6384s | the absolute nuts maps going crazy and |
| 6386s | everything |
| 6387s | um |
| 6388s | but yes we do pay attention to it as a |
| 6390s | whole |
| 6392s | um |
| 6393s | and |
| 6398s | it's kind of irrelevant how they perform |
| 6400s | with with things like that um we just |
| 6403s | got to make our game work as well as we |
| 6404s | can |
| 6405s | um |
| 6406s | like we can't use |
| 6408s | them also not working well in certain |
| 6410s | situations as an excuse for us not |
| 6412s | working well you know |
| 6413s | um |
| 6416s | uh performance is a very high priority |
| 6419s | for us um the highest variety right now |
| 6421s | is multiplayer i'm getting that work and |
| 6423s | getting that function getting it stable |
| 6425s | um performance is a huge part of our |
| 6429s | of making multiplayer better as well |
| 6431s | making multiplayer stable performance |
| 6433s | helps with that so um |
| 6438s | if you have |
| 6439s | uh |
| 6439s | [Music] |
| 6441s | improving the performance in the game |
| 6443s | directly saves us money |
| 6446s | like it it's |
| 6447s | it's we we can we have quantifiable |
| 6450s | numbers that we can say like |
| 6451s | okay if we |
| 6452s | drop the number of cpu cycles that the |
| 6455s | game spends on average just rendering or |
| 6457s | not rendering just um |
| 6459s | setting up a level |
| 6460s | or um |
| 6462s | uh calculating which enemies are |
| 6463s | attacking and and damage calculations |
| 6466s | like if we just save cpu time |
| 6468s | in those things we we literally can have |
| 6471s | a |
| 6473s | uh we can like might we can see the |
| 6474s | amount of money we're gonna save you |
| 6476s | know |
| 6476s | um and sometimes that comes down to just |
| 6478s | being able to run more game servers per |
| 6480s | physical machine |
| 6482s | um and that can be a big difference so |
| 6484s | like say we're at um |
| 6487s | x game x game servers per physical |
| 6489s | machine and we make some huge |
| 6490s | performance leap and we suddenly have um |
| 6493s | like 1.1 |
| 6495s | x game servers per machine |
| 6498s | that's a 10 savings on game servers |
| 6502s | like that's huge |
| 6504s | it doesn't sound like much right |
| 6508s | um |
| 6509s | so yeah performance is a big deal for us |
| 6513s | and and we're definitely working on that |
| 6522s | [Music] |
| 6524s | yeah that's a |
| 6525s | extremely low estimate that you put |
| 6528s | there |
| 6528s | [Laughter] |
| 6530s | it's an unbelievably low estimate you |
| 6532s | put there |
| 6547s | uh hi there it's nice to see you pushing |
| 6549s | development hard is unity helping you |
| 6551s | out in some way or do you have to deal |
| 6553s | with engine issues um |
| 6555s | uh comes with development on your own |
| 6556s | and there's there's um like we do we do |
| 6559s | have uh |
| 6561s | a contact with unity that we we can't we |
| 6563s | can talk them about certain things and i |
| 6564s | can't really get into the details of |
| 6566s | that relationship and |
| 6567s | um |
| 6569s | and everything but uh |
| 6572s | yeah yeah like we do have we do have |
| 6574s | contact with third party um producers |
| 6576s | for various things um like we've |
| 6578s | contacted community we have contact with |
| 6579s | nvidia we've continued the amd um |
| 6582s | there's there's lots of different |
| 6583s | companies that we've contacted that help |
| 6584s | us with various different things um |
| 6587s | sometimes there's like |
| 6588s | something will pop up and we'll contact |
| 6590s | someone and like we'll think this is |
| 6592s | this really hard and possible things be |
| 6593s | like yes click this switch that's |
| 6596s | labeled 741 for no reason |
| 6598s | and it fixes your problem |
| 6600s | you know everyone's so awesome that |
| 6602s | happens it's great |
| 6611s | um but like |
| 6613s | unity is interesting because unity is |
| 6614s | kind of built in unity |
| 6616s | um |
| 6618s | so as as as a project gets bigger and as |
| 6620s | you work within it longer you start |
| 6622s | building tools yourself |
| 6624s | and start making modifications to it |
| 6626s | yourself that that sort of |
| 6628s | um |
| 6632s | like |
| 6634s | change how it works and |
| 6636s | change the responsibility of who |
| 6637s | supports how it works |
| 6639s | a little bit |
| 6643s | just because i'm a curious and nancy how |
| 6645s | much does a single server cost so player |
| 6647s | can have and i understand i can't tell |
| 6649s | you that mostly i i do not know what |
| 6651s | that number is |
| 6652s | uh and that number changes |
| 6654s | um |
| 6655s | based on all sorts of things |
| 6658s | um |
| 6662s | and and honestly even if i did know that |
| 6664s | number i probably wouldn't be allowed to |
| 6666s | say it |
| 6679s | checking out aws ec2 servers costs will |
| 6681s | not give you a very good idea on how |
| 6683s | much it actually costs |
| 6685s | sorry |
| 6696s | mostly because we don't use aws |
| 6706s | [Music] |
| 6717s | we're getting pretty close in here i |
| 6719s | guess i should i'm just going to pause |
| 6720s | for a brief moment here i'm just going |
| 6722s | to toss this up |
| 6724s | a little turnabout sheet so this is just |
| 6725s | the same thing as before but get a |
| 6727s | little bit better view of it so you can |
| 6728s | see |
| 6729s | um from different angles what's going on |
| 6734s | i don't know why i'm stopping now to do |
| 6735s | this i just glanced down notice we don't |
| 6736s | have much time left in stream |
| 6739s | but this boy looks great |
| 6742s | rocking around i think i i think it was |
| 6744s | i was like he would look really good in |
| 6745s | this map especially with all the blue |
| 6746s | and the red stick out i did not set it |
| 6748s | to loop noob noob mike rookie mistake |
| 6752s | there you go |
| 6770s | uh tell me that fire armor is for my |
| 6772s | sentinel well it's kinda it'll follow |
| 6774s | your sentinel around |
| 6780s | is that the count |
| 6788s | i have a feeling it doesn't but you know |
| 6794s | what |
| 6796s | is this |
| 6799s | yes if uh if you missed it the |
| 6801s | comparison of the old to new manifest |
| 6802s | armor i will show it again |
| 6804s | uh before the end of the stream i think |
| 6805s | it's pretty freaking cool |
| 6808s | it's just how i should have a version i |
| 6809s | could crop and just leave up |
| 6814s | it does summer sentinel yeah |
| 6819s | impossible |
| 6821s | uh you need to change the name of |
| 6823s | titan's mace then mate yeah |
| 6828s | we may need to |
| 6830s | [Music] |
| 6834s | oh this is what i'm talking about you |
| 6836s | know there's there's uh performance is |
| 6839s | not quite uh perfect yet |
| 6841s | still working on it |
| 6845s | so there's some issues there |
| 6851s | without taking things too technical what |
| 6853s | networking solution do you go with for |
| 6855s | last epoch an existing product |
| 6857s | pun |
| 6858s | um |
| 6859s | mirror racknet uh or a custom solution |
| 6861s | and is there any interesting challenge |
| 6864s | you can overcome making wouldn't that |
| 6866s | would make for a good story yeah there's |
| 6868s | um |
| 6868s | [Music] |
| 6870s | it's it's a it's a combination of the |
| 6871s | two so we try to have |
| 6874s | in-house solutions for |
| 6875s | uh everything we can um there's there's |
| 6878s | a lot of information about this actually |
| 6879s | in the multiplayer development updates |
| 6881s | and now just development updates game |
| 6883s | development updates that have come out |
| 6885s | uh over the course of the last year or |
| 6886s | so um that are on the dev blog section |
| 6888s | of our forums by stanzwar i think |
| 6890s | there's four of them question mark maybe |
| 6892s | more maybe less um |
| 6896s | and and there's |
| 6897s | there's a little bit of details in there |
| 6899s | i can't go over exactly |
| 6902s | um |
| 6905s | there are some packages we are using |
| 6907s | that are like pre-built systems for |
| 6909s | certain things |
| 6910s | um we try to use as few of those as |
| 6912s | possible um and when we do we try to |
| 6914s | make sure that they are pretty |
| 6915s | customizable |
| 6917s | um |
| 6919s | you know good sport or stuff like that |
| 6921s | our actual like |
| 6922s | the |
| 6923s | like where we get our servers from is a |
| 6928s | uh |
| 6929s | like a a preset thing like they're um |
| 6933s | we're not we're not buying our own |
| 6934s | physical boxes |
| 6937s | like there's um |
| 6939s | a company that what they do is they have |
| 6941s | server game servers for people to use |
| 6943s | that's what their whole company does |
| 6946s | and they've got them all over the world |
| 6948s | and set up right into rock and tested |
| 6950s | with lots of other games that if you |
| 6952s | play if you have interest in last epoch |
| 6954s | there's a really good chance you've used |
| 6955s | some of their servers before in other |
| 6956s | games you played type thing |
| 6962s | we were doing a multiplayer test |
| 6965s | uh and got the uh the big ice beetle |
| 6967s | shrine |
| 6969s | those |
| 6970s | everyone got multiple ice beetles and it |
| 6973s | was a lot of ice beetles rocking around |
| 6975s | the map it was a little nuts everything |
| 6977s | was just frozen |
| 6986s | it was fun |
| 6991s | i don't want my pets to look cooler than |
| 6993s | me though well |
| 6997s | too bad |
| 6998s | [Laughter] |
| 6999s | don't don't use manifest armor then |
| 7003s | find some really awesome looking armor |
| 7005s | for yourself there we go that's the |
| 7006s | solution nailed it first try |
| 7014s | all right what are we looking at now |
| 7016s | let's go find some info i want to see |
| 7018s | the area |
| 7023s | so shrines are partly shared than in |
| 7026s | multiplayer they're completely shared um |
| 7028s | well or not shared at all they're |
| 7031s | everybody gets the shrine |
| 7033s | you don't have to um |
| 7035s | well everyone who's in range gets the |
| 7037s | shrine so there's um |
| 7043s | the range is pretty huge um i know we |
| 7045s | actually like the range is still |
| 7047s | something that's being changed we just |
| 7048s | just cranked the range up really high |
| 7050s | um initial implementation of it had the |
| 7052s | range way too low and it sucked um it |
| 7054s | was like gather round make sure |
| 7056s | everyone's touching the shrine when we |
| 7057s | pop it um |
| 7059s | but now it's basically like okay are you |
| 7060s | anywhere even remotely close cool you |
| 7062s | get it um and because like all the |
| 7064s | shrines that drop um items it drops |
| 7066s | items for everyone um loots instance |
| 7069s | um it gives the buff to everyone not |
| 7071s | just the person who presses it |
| 7073s | uh |
| 7074s | you know if it's ice beetles everyone |
| 7075s | gets beetles |
| 7081s | if it's the extremely rare bee shrine |
| 7082s | everyone gets bees |
| 7099s | i haven't seen the beach riding |
| 7100s | multiplayer yet |
| 7105s | but i'm sure it would be amazing |
| 7115s | you just got to believe in yourself |
| 7124s | you know he just did like this it was |
| 7125s | one of the first times that they |
| 7126s | actually animated a character |
| 7129s | after the voice acting was done |
| 7132s | um so rob williams just got in the |
| 7133s | studio and just just was |
| 7135s | making all these voices and setting up |
| 7137s | all these scenes with just his voice and |
| 7139s | they did the genies animation |
| 7141s | based on the characters he created in |
| 7144s | the studio uh doing the voice acting so |
| 7146s | they had like the |
| 7147s | the the main hits but when he go genie |
| 7149s | kind of like goes off making a bunch of |
| 7151s | references and being weird |
| 7153s | uh and just absolutely magical it was |
| 7157s | that was a lot of it was changed for the |
| 7159s | characters he created uh just |
| 7162s | improving in the studio |
| 7169s | man was a genius |
| 7183s | oh my god |
| 7187s | uh have y'all consider making shards |
| 7189s | auto pick up like gold or maybe auto |
| 7190s | transit the vault instead of assuming |
| 7192s | the inventory yes we've considered it |
| 7193s | many dozen times |
| 7209s | it's not currently planned by the way |
| 7212s | just in case that wasn't clear from the |
| 7214s | yes we considered it a whole bunch |
| 7216s | answer |
| 7220s | all right we're gonna we've hit time |
| 7221s | we're gonna finish up this one uh echo |
| 7224s | and that'll be that |
| 7226s | so if you have any last minute questions |
| 7228s | please slap those down in chat real |
| 7230s | quick and i will try and hammer out |
| 7233s | as many as i can here let's see we're |
| 7236s | winding down pretty well though |
| 7238s | i had a really good stream today i hope |
| 7240s | you guys had fun |
| 7243s | uh do you think of a shrine build could |
| 7245s | be fun could be uh |
| 7248s | do you |
| 7248s | think if a shrine build could be fun in |
| 7251s | the game something like increases the |
| 7253s | amount of shrines or something that |
| 7254s | increase the chance specific shrines |
| 7256s | show up on maps um yeah i think there's |
| 7258s | there's some fun stuff you could do in |
| 7260s | there |
| 7261s | i'm not huge on the idea of like making |
| 7263s | that the builds identity as a whole |
| 7267s | um |
| 7269s | like i i know there's um there's items |
| 7271s | that interactive shrines in diablo 3 |
| 7272s | that are extremely popular like nemesis |
| 7274s | braces um and i think it's really cool |
| 7277s | but uh it's it's something that you try |
| 7279s | and kind of like |
| 7281s | slip into your build rather than uh |
| 7284s | define the build i think |
| 7286s | um |
| 7287s | and then there's like the |
| 7289s | like |
| 7290s | there's more than one and they work |
| 7292s | together so you kind of end up having |
| 7293s | like |
| 7294s | this |
| 7294s | nemesis bracer's shell |
| 7297s | for a couple things in in your cube that |
| 7298s | that interact really well together um if |
| 7301s | you have like sort of room in your build |
| 7303s | to have your nemesis bracelet shell go |
| 7305s | in there you do |
| 7308s | um |
| 7309s | and might be too far it might be good i |
| 7311s | don't know how i feel about it exactly |
| 7312s | but i do like the concept of having some |
| 7315s | uh extra items augment interactions with |
| 7318s | shrines |
| 7319s | but not be built to find |
| 7325s | um |
| 7326s | last question how are you doing |
| 7328s | we always ask what you're doing whatever |
| 7330s | how you're doing |
| 7333s | it's a reference to our discord epoch |
| 7336s | bot if anyone doesn't know and hangs out |
| 7337s | in our discord we have a great place |
| 7338s | over there lots of people talking all |
| 7340s | the time head on over to the discord and |
| 7341s | ask more questions if i missed anything |
| 7343s | today |
| 7344s | um i'm doing great i'm feeling good i'm |
| 7348s | got friends coming to play magic tonight |
| 7350s | i'm gonna put up a fence tomorrow |
| 7354s | good |
| 7355s | i'll last couple questions here when's |
| 7356s | the next controller update planned it |
| 7358s | feels pretty good in game play man i've |
| 7360s | had to respect points like 15 times when |
| 7362s | leveling 252. it just does bizarre |
| 7365s | things with a controller |
| 7366s | uh |
| 7369s | i i don't know if there's any major |
| 7370s | plans for things but there's always |
| 7371s | little tweaks that go in with the |
| 7372s | controller so that every update gets |
| 7374s | we'll get every major patch will have at |
| 7376s | least something |
| 7378s | uh ceremony came in wanted to say i |
| 7379s | appreciate how much you guys care about |
