59s	them um remember to put at last Epoch
62s	game in the question
64s	please so I see it pop out a little bit
66s	better remember how we played
80s	this Mike Walker
82s	wow our names are very
89s	similar
96s	hello
103s	hello any performance impr 1.0 this
106s	performs every patch yeah I I feel like
109s	I feel like if we go back and look at
110s	every single patch there's a clear
111s	pattern of performance priorities going
113s	on and uh that has not stopped at all
115s	it's number one number one on the list
117s	always has
119s	been
134s	all right let's let's let's get to some
137s	some stuff I remember I remember my
138s	buttons
148s	now do I remember them though
153s	uh will there be AutoCast um we don't
155s	really plan on putting fullon AutoCast
157s	in the game um at the moment there are
161s	some nodes which will do that in certain
163s	situations for certain skills um like
165s	for example uh I think I think Hora has
169s	it I think
174s	um enchant weapon has
177s	it um those are the only two that
180s	there's got to be
181s	others melstrom has some yeah um static
186s	I think has
190s	some it's not it's not completely like
193s	out of the out of the possibility or
195s	whatever but like we don't have there's
196s	no task in the back end right now that's
198s	like implement
201s	this just kind of all I can really go
204s	off
208s	of what else we got but are you planning
211s	to add some steam achievements at any
213s	point in the future oh yeah not sure if
215s	we use steam achievements or in-game
218s	achievements I think we'll use theme
219s	achievements it's just it's one of those
220s	systems that's like already there and
223s	fantastic um and so integrated already
226s	um that I don't see why we wouldn't use
228s	the steam achievements but um you know
231s	there's there's you go to implement
234s	something like that and there's like 20%
236s	chance that some monkey wrench shows up
238s	and you're like well
255s	pivot what is this Z DPS build come
269s	on
274s	[Music]
277s	yeah oh nice some of those bad
281s	boys uh so far I love the game awesome I
284s	feel perfect wonderful balance of Poe in
286s	dl4 sounds great here comes the
290s	rub oh just kidding my only suggestion
292s	SL request is would you guys be open to
294s	changing the way that you transition
296s	through zones so many times I've now
299s	accidentally ran over to an exit of a
300s	Zone in order to dodge a boss mix yeah
303s	so this is asking when you go to a scene
305s	transition those like glowy things and
308s	you're and you're just holding your
309s	cursor down like I'm I'm just holding my
310s	mouse cursor I'm not clicking
311s	individually and the mouse cursor goes
313s	over top of that scene transition glow
317s	um if you're close enough it will just
319s	it will click on the scene transition
320s	and take you
322s	through um and and happens when you
325s	don't want it to happen sometimes which
326s	is unfortunate we I don't know if
330s	there's an easy fix for this I think I
332s	have a feeling I can't so this has come
333s	up quite a few times and I can't
336s	remember the exact reason why it's not
337s	in the like why it hasn't been changed
339s	because I know this is feedback we've
340s	gotten a few times um I think could be
344s	wrong with this I think there was a
345s	problem with it and when we couldn't
347s	change it uh at the time or it wasn't
349s	easy to do or something like that we're
350s	like okay well we'll we'll do it but
352s	like back burner type thing I can't
353s	remember why it's not changed um but
356s	something like that happened I can't
358s	remember exactly what it was
362s	but yeah if you want to get a suggestion
364s	considered please put it on the
367s	forums or the
369s	Discord in the appropriate
371s	place I'm just terrible at writing
373s	things down so I will uh at least least
376s	while I'm playing on
384s	Stream So pretend I'm like a
387s	three-year-old and you're saying it it's
389s	like I'm like yeah I hear you I'll
391s	repeat it right back to you and then
392s	like I turn around and it's
394s	gone and I and I hit Jack anyways you
398s	you're like we just told you not to hit
399s	Jack and I'm like yeah I shouldn't hit
400s	Jack
404s	whack I promise jack is not a kid for my
406s	son's
407s	daycare it's actually not
410s	a making all that up
413s	but it feels like that
418s	sometimes
421s	all right the road map for new classes
423s	and factions is out yes what can players
425s	expect from it is it reveal only put on
428s	last tools what are we going to get with
430s	the road map um you mean like the okay
433s	so I think what we're talking about is
435s	the
438s	um let me just I'm just bring this up
440s	because you know what I get I see so
441s	much confusion about
443s	this I'm not 100% sure why so I'm just
446s	going to grab the image and we're going
448s	to talk about it cuz that's awes
452s	awesome quick there we go how fast can I
456s	put something into this properly pretty
459s	quick apparently
461s	awesome no we're going to we're going to
463s	Center
468s	that okay this is the image in
471s	question um so the is it over here no
474s	it's over
478s	here um
480s	the so what we're seeing on these These
482s	are each going to be a really big Dev
484s	vog post um with specific details on
488s	what's coming with all of these these
489s	three major features um so there's
493s	there's no patch to the game happening
496s	on these days January 11th will not come
498s	with a patch January 25th will not come
500s	with a patch February 8th will not come
502s	with a patch be super clear on this Le I
505s	should say it's my face in frame um the
507s	item
508s	factions uh post here the Warlock
511s	preview and the falconer preview will
513s	have the the same sort of details um
516s	like go go go look our forms for the the
518s	the Rune Master reveal uh devlog it'll
521s	be very similar to that it'll have um
523s	like I I it's not written yet so I don't
525s	know exactly what's going to be there
526s	but it'll have things like what skills
527s	are coming um probably some like uh
531s	maybe there's like a unique item that's
532s	specifically designed for warlock to
533s	come with it um there'll probably be uh
536s	skill tree previews there might not be
538s	full like 100%
540s	completed here's the skill tree exactly
542s	how it's going to be but
544s	um at at least maybe some of them will
547s	be but like there'll be there'll be
549s	there'll be lots of very detailed
550s	information on um the like how the how
554s	the class is going to function uh were
556s	you asking specifically about classes
558s	and trade factions yeah it's it's it's a
560s	very in-depth look at these features
563s	coming for the patch uh because there
565s	are big features there's lots going on
567s	there's lots of things to share and show
568s	how it's going to work and sorts of
570s	things
571s	um but yeah it's it's not
574s	a uh chance for you to play it yet the
578s	that chance will be February 21st with
580s	launch just want to be super duper clear
583s	on
584s	that
587s	cool hope that hope that helped if
589s	you're looking for more information let
590s	me know
592s	please will the servers be more stable
594s	because I can't play with uh anyone
596s	outside of au server yeah I mean the
598s	this is back to Performance stuff it's
600s	number one priority performance
601s	performance performance um so it's
604s	they're hopefully getting better all the
606s	time um there's whole new networking
611s	information transfer system that's
613s	that's getting implemented
615s	um that we've been using internally for
618s	uh about a week
623s	now
625s	um it's going
628s	great
647s	okay and this is why two-handed Rogues
649s	are
655s	bad easy too easy is it though come on
659s	you're getting your butt
660s	kicked let's get a question here we do
663s	both
664s	right uh let the game just tuning in can
667s	you touch on Guild Clans will there be
669s	incentives to join one um we don't have
671s	any sort of Guild system uh planned to
675s	come with 1.0 at the moment um so
678s	there's no incentive join because they
680s	don't exist
682s	um we
686s	are uh if we do add them to the game
688s	which I expect we will eventually we
690s	want there to be a reason to do it
693s	um we currently feel that if we added
697s	guilds and a clan system sort of the way
698s	it is now um we'd probably end up with a
703s	glorified um group chat you know like
708s	like okay great there's this chat
709s	Channel you guys
713s	[Music]
714s	share you know like if if you're if
717s	you're got a group of people that you
718s	want to play together and and that sort
719s	of thing like you've likely already got
721s	an alternate method of communication
722s	that you're using
726s	um and with no activities or reason or
729s	mechanical reasons in game to have this
732s	clan there's kind of like no reason to
733s	do it oh my goodness my mustache is so
735s	itchy right now I do not know
741s	why gu took way too long to
746s	kill oh Mr fibble has resubbed nine
749s	months in a row thank you very much
751s	that's
753s	fantastic it's I I I really like your
755s	name as well just throwing that out
759s	there I have a tough time parsing names
763s	frequently but I don't fumble
771s	yours it's fun all
774s	right more
778s	questions
780s	uh are for the bug fixes patches play
782s	before 1.0
783s	yes um I think the cut off content for
788s	one I think I got given a notice today
790s	being like if you don't get it in today
791s	it's not going in the next patch type
794s	thing and I'm like cool I don't have
794s	anything
796s	pending
801s	um so that's still got to go through QA
804s	and you know approval and all that sort
806s	of stuff so who knows when that'll
807s	actually happen but yeah there are still
810s	uh bug fix patches that we're looking at
811s	for between now and
830s	1.0 and don't forget to put at last dep
833s	game in the question please so I see it
835s	and know that this is something you want
836s	me to
838s	answer
839s	um but here's one that's not it's okay a
841s	lot of games require you to go through
842s	the campaign for every character are
844s	there any thoughts of allowing one to
846s	start at post campaign for new
848s	characters um still start level one yeah
850s	this this question comes up every single
851s	stream um and every single day on Reddit
854s	and our Discord and our forums
856s	absolutely this this has been talked to
858s	death for sure all the time
861s	um like really really really short
863s	answer
865s	no um longer answer I mean it's kind of
868s	already there so
871s	yes
873s	um if you're playing online at least you
876s	can party with someone and they can just
877s	take you to the any Zone by just going
880s	there themselves and um you just portal
882s	to them uh if you complete the level 90
885s	the three level 90 monolith timelines um
888s	even as a follower you'll unlock
891s	empowered and you can be an empowered
892s	monolith at level 10 if you want um
894s	you'll get your ass handed to you um and
897s	you won't actually level that fast
899s	because there's there are uh level
902s	there's experience gain um
906s	dampening might be a good word for it um
909s	for being severely underleveled in the
911s	same Zone as a severely overleveled
913s	person compared to you
917s	um it's a little complicated but
919s	basically if you're in uh if you're
922s	underleveled for the Zone on your own
924s	and you're actually doing the content
925s	yourself it's less of a penalty than if
927s	you're underleveled in the zone with
929s	someone else carrying
936s	you um yeah and then there's there's
939s	also something else might when this
941s	comes up usually another thing that is
943s	unknown is the fact that um uh the
946s	dungeons will skip big chunks of the
950s	campaign as
956s	well yeah so we're still we're still
957s	toying with exactly how
959s	all that's going to shake out and
960s	everything the the first time dungeons
962s	need to be uh done better for sure
965s	whether that's like easier and no no
968s	like primary reward or just straight up
970s	easier or you know like some some
973s	something um the first time through the
975s	dungeon is a little on the um unhelpful
980s	side right
981s	now like it's there and it's great idea
983s	but it's just not quite to the point
985s	where it's really really useful um
990s	and recently I've been feeling that it
991s	should probably actually allow you to go
993s	into them uh I I think the first tier
996s	should this is a suggestion I heard
997s	recently that I quite liked was that I
999s	just want to make it sound like I came
1001s	up with this cuz I didn't uh which was
1002s	that there is um there's there just the
1005s	original the first floor has no key
1010s	requirement so you can even go through
1011s	on your first
1013s	character but would still be too hard
1015s	for most
1017s	situations so it's like an advanced
1019s	player option
1022s	um and you just make it really obvious
1024s	to noobs that it's noobs meaning like
1027s	literal just new players um that
1029s	probably not a great first time
1033s	experience which is tough to convey it
1035s	really is
1047s	um
1050s	but not
1051s	impossible isn't faction a guild uh so
1054s	this is this is the this is where naming
1055s	things come in problem so uh there are
1057s	two item
1058s	factions um one of the item factions is
1061s	called the Merchant's Guild the other
1065s	item faction is called circle of Fortune
1068s	um factions is the term we're giving to
1071s	any sort of
1074s	um like group you can join um that has a
1081s	um a reputation rank that you can
1084s	increase and uh generate favor for some
1087s	sort of interaction in in
1089s	that uh interaction in that
1092s	faction um and the first two factions
1095s	are mutually exclusive with each other
1097s	because they are both item factions um
1099s	it's possible we could add a third item
1101s	faction on the road it's possible more
1103s	probable that we would add new types of
1104s	factions so maybe we add a I I don't
1107s	know a exploration factions and there's
1110s	two different ways to explore things
1111s	it's like a a sky exploration faction a
1114s	sea exploration faction I don't know um
1117s	and you have to pick one of those and
1118s	there's a ground one too there's three
1119s	factions in this group I'm literally
1121s	making this up on the spot I have no
1122s	idea my point is that they'd be mutually
1124s	exclusive within their set of factions
1127s	but not mutually exclusive across sets
1129s	so you could be in the sky exploration
1131s	faction and the merchant skill at the
1133s	same time and it'll be
1134s	fine so that's the overarching plan
1137s	long-term plans for our factions
1139s	system um not to be confused with
1143s	possibly including guilds in the
1146s	future I don't know why I couldn't see
1148s	that guy I just could not see
1156s	him good one in
1167s	there
1169s	we don't really care about the explosion
1171s	damage reflect is nice we care about
1172s	more about the Buffs fear's good in
1175s	general but we we don't actually want
1176s	them to run away I think just want to
1179s	take damage reflected get the extra
1181s	charges up
1183s	eventually we would need some sort of
1185s	plus skills for the extra charge with
1186s	this or take a point out somewhere
1191s	else but that's
1195s	fine get some of that XP oh we've got
1197s	boss possibility we do have
1203s	possibility all right will there be more
1206s	optimization and dlss FSR implementation
1209s	for release um yes slash no or yes and
1213s	no um so more optimization yes dlss and
1216s	FSR implementation no for release uh I
1219s	love play last EO at 4K 120 FPS but it
1221s	burns tempwise the ever living [ __ ] outo
1225s	my 3080 yeah they um the current version
1229s	of the engine we're running does not
1230s	have dlss and Fs yeah I said that right
1236s	um uh uh functionality so we we we have
1239s	no option to do it even if we wanted to
1241s	at the moment
1244s	um when we eventually I like at some
1246s	point I'm sure we'll do an engine
1247s	upgrade who knows when um when we
1250s	eventually get around to that it's it's
1252s	something that we would look at then but
1253s	for now
1257s	no that's right you're you're stunned
1260s	the bear not you you might be to I don't
1264s	know I didn't realize you could do that
1267s	with multiplayer thanks for the
1268s	information you're welcome I don't know
1270s	what that was about I'm sorry oh it's
1272s	probably the like the the the the the
1275s	hopping in to Advanced parts of the game
1278s	yeah summon several ice beetles woohoo
1282s	ice Beetle boy
1284s	Army Beetle boits roll
1287s	out
1291s	that's
1292s	[Laughter]
1295s	great can't laugh at yourself all right
1300s	uh will cross server partying be
1302s	possible or will we have to be on the
1303s	same server to group up
1306s	um so I'm going to answer this question
1308s	exactly how it's written and then try
1309s	and guess what it's actually trying to
1311s	ask and answer that as well so will you
1313s	cross server partying be possible or
1314s	will we have to all be on the same
1316s	server to group up um you can join a
1320s	party with people on any server um as
1324s	soon as you want to be physically in the
1326s	same location in game um like if you
1329s	want to be able to stand beside each
1330s	other in game and see each other you
1332s	have to be on the same server by
1333s	definition um like it's
1337s	just every zone is a server um and so if
1341s	you're in a Zone together you're on the
1342s	same server period no matter what um if
1346s	you're asking like can I as someone who
1349s	logs into the game under us West and
1351s	someone else who logs into the game
1353s	under EU West can they join together in
1356s	a party and go play together absolutely
1358s	you'll have to the the game will pick
1360s	for you um I think it goes based on
1363s	Party leaders preferred server location
1366s	or maybe tries to meet in the middle I
1367s	can't remember which one we choose chose
1368s	it it it pick it tries to optimize the
1370s	server you're connected to so everyone
1371s	has the best experience possible um
1375s	and it it will put you on a single
1377s	region together and will maintain that
1380s	region while you're together in that
1381s	party basically when you join a party
1383s	when you create a party when whenever
1385s	the party members change it recalculates
1390s	the uh preferred server region for that
1394s	party so if you have a um a party with
1399s	four people in it you have that party
1401s	has a preferred server
1402s	region as long as you're in that party
1404s	you'll keep using that preferred s
1407s	region
1412s	I hope that answered all your
1414s	questions not exactly sure which one
1417s	you're looking for if not please ask it
1418s	I'll be happy to answer
1424s	it next
1426s	question okay need some answers related
1428s	to it just underneath I hope we got you
1431s	together um great job on the game
1433s	overall thank you loving the ability to
1435s	add my own loot filters yes very nice
1438s	any chance we get to add change some of
1440s	the audio cues for dropped items any
1442s	chance yes any chance at 1.0
1446s	no um it will not be something added to
1453s	1.0 um it it is one of those things
1456s	that's pretty hotly
1457s	requested
1459s	um so I'm I I I'd be surprised if so
1465s	okay how this the uh problem that audio
1470s	cues are generally listed as attempting
1472s	to solve is something we would like to
1476s	solve um it's possible that we may
1480s	choose to to solve that through adding
1483s	optional audio cues the loot filter it's
1486s	possible that we may attempt to solve it
1487s	some other way too I don't
1497s	know
1499s	the most frequent
1502s	um reason that I see cited for this um
1505s	suggestion as the problem is trying to
1507s	solve and this is this is why like um
1509s	giving us problems to solve is way more
1511s	valuable to us than giving us solutions
1512s	to problems that you're having
1515s	um and uh the the the problem that we're
1520s	that we think people are trying to solve
1521s	with this suggestion nailed it is to uh
1525s	notify the player when an item drops
1528s	behind you so you're you're you're
1530s	you're you're running along through the
1531s	Zone killing it killing dudes U maybe
1534s	you maybe there's like one little dude
1536s	behind in the pack that like had a had
1537s	an ignite dot on him and you're like ah
1540s	whatever I'm just going to keep running
1541s	no point in stopping for him um ignite
1544s	kills him he drops some epic piece of
1545s	loot but you're you're you're already
1547s	going you're not going back to check you
1548s	don't know what he's dropped um but
1550s	having some sort of some sort of way
1552s	that the game tells you hey there's
1553s	something that you want back here um is
1557s	important and that's something that we
1558s	we do need to to resolve somehow um
1561s	audio cues are one way to do that uh
1564s	they're not the only way to do that and
1567s	uh we'll see what we'll see how we
1568s	tackle that problem I don't know the
1570s	answer to that I'm sorry thank you very
1572s	much for the res 4 months in a row from
1574s	INF fracus
1577s	one very cool name
1579s	too thank you very much glad to have you
1581s	with
1585s	us I hope I am making just enough of a
1588s	of myself for you to have fun but still
1590s	learn
1592s	something it's a sweet spot
1598s	right sounds almost fangy die
1606s	human oh my hopefully that's not a
1610s	literal reference that I just never
1613s	got oh you're doing this to me okay all
1616s	right uh
1621s	uh oh psychosis Pat psychosis patient I
1624s	got it I I got that I'm like uh
1628s	cipient that's that's that's definitely
1630s	how that's
1635s	pronounced oh you'd think uh haven't
1639s	spoken English my entire life or
1641s	something thank you very much for the
1643s	sub I appreciate
1646s	it good to know the final release date
1649s	SE uh SE I always say September February
1651s	21st I swear I I I know how to speak as
1653s	well February
1659s	21st oh my goodness I'm going to
1664s	die uh Mike please remember to tag Mike
1667s	cool someone asked a question that
1668s	didn't tag me let me see if I can find
1670s	it thanks Kane easy looking
1674s	[Music]
1675s	for uh will you be able to add more
1678s	twink style uniques to make leveling
1680s	alts quicker and more fun like no level
1683s	requirement or uniques that Grant a nice
1685s	power boost at low level um we we so one
1688s	of the main reasons the um legendary
1691s	item system is set up the way it
1694s	is is so that we can have meaningful
1696s	lowle uniques in the game that still
1699s	have um uses in the late game um it's
1703s	not perfect not every item is good for
1706s	this but it's it's one oh that's
1708s	actually nice that that is uh one of
1711s	the uh goals of the system definitely
1714s	not the only one but that's that's one
1715s	thing that helps with it now
1718s	um last
1720s	patch we made it so that uh making an
1724s	item legendary making a unique legendary
1726s	doesn't change that item's level
1727s	requirement anymore so it's really easy
1729s	to make quite powerful twink leveling
1731s	items now um like really
1734s	easy
1736s	um kind of doesn't even matter what the
1739s	unique is you can make it into an
1740s	awesome trink leveling item as long as
1742s	it's a low like it goes in the right
1745s	slot great it can be a twink leveling
1747s	unique type thing pretty pretty well not
1749s	quite pretty well um so having said that
1752s	we do uh we we do generally add items
1755s	that are all sorts of level requirements
1759s	um it's we don't tend to focus as much
1762s	on zero level requirement items anymore
1765s	um but you know I'd be surprised if
1767s	there weren't a few in the you know 10
1770s	to 40
1779s	range cuz we can still make ingame
1781s	relevant
1783s	items
1786s	um as Lev
1792s	uniques oh come off at
1795s	you I need to buff I need I need better
1797s	single SLE Target DPS I'm not 100% sure
1799s	the best way to do that right now with
1802s	with sticking with a
1807s	two-handers all right were there any
1809s	discussions about February 29th release
1811s	do I keep saying February oh because
1813s	it's because it's um the a leaf
1815s	year I have no idea I wasn't in those
1818s	conversations um I'd be surprised if
1821s	there was like it's it's neat it's kind
1823s	of cool like oh in the game launch febr
1825s	29th oh yeah like oh it's it's 4 years
1827s	later we're having the first anniversary
1829s	of the game you know uh like like
1831s	there's there's some cool stuff there
1832s	and all all that but you know it's um I
1836s	I I don't think that that would
1838s	be um like the the the the priority of
1843s	like where you rank all the factors on
1845s	on picking a a launch date the meme
1847s	factor is in the
1850s	basement you know it's it's sweet but
1853s	it's sweet if it lines up I
1856s	think
1862s	and bigger bigger titles and bigger
1863s	projects can uh can put a little bit
1865s	more effort into something like that
1867s	like
1872s	um like like I Del it is like June 6th
1876s	2026 or something I don't know
1885s	2006 did they do that and I just like
1887s	don't or something would have been
1891s	sweet H Aon welcome okay okay you can
1895s	start I made it okay okay thank you
1896s	thank you I appreciate
1901s	that cool I appreciate that
1913s	yeah
1914s	um all right is there any builds
1918s	uh is there any builds like bear Druid
1920s	or other play styles that transform your
1922s	appearance if there's not is there any
1923s	chance to come in the future yes there
1925s	are um Druid one of the primalist
1929s	masteries the
1931s	primary um gam play mechanic and
1936s	thematic system is shape shifting
1939s	transforms um there are three options
1942s	you can transform into a were bear um
1945s	you can transform into a spriggan which
1947s	is like a a magical uh like dryad type
1951s	creature
1952s	um uh and a swarm blade which um like
1957s	let's it's it's definitely not
1966s	Scyther uh people call it bug
1969s	form it's a giant insect
1972s	um you can summon Locust swms and stuff
1975s	yeah but yeah and then there's also um
1978s	the acolyte the undead Caster character
1982s	um has a uh a Mastery litch whose um
1988s	Mastery ability is um reperform and
1992s	reperform is a little bit different than
1994s	the Druid Transformations reperform only
1997s	replaces one of the skills on your bar
1999s	whereas the Druid Transformations are
2001s	actually replace your entire bar and
2002s	give you a new resource um reperform
2005s	gives you one new skill in your bar
2007s	places reform on your bar with uh with
2009s	reap which is a
2011s	um a melee short distance Dash ability
2017s	um does damage short Dash and then
2021s	um those are all the transforms right
2035s	now uh oh yeah reperform all also gives
2038s	you
2039s	um uh your your health starts to Decay
2043s	over time and that decay rate speeds up
2046s	over time as well So eventually you will
2047s	die from it however when you die and
2049s	reperform you go back into your normal
2051s	form so you get like a whole extra
2053s	health
2055s	bar which is
2066s	great uh
2068s	and I'm
2069s	like
2072s	there's there there there's room to add
2074s	more in the future but like those are
2075s	the four key Transformers you'll see
2086s	initially all
2096s	right
2099s	oh no Mike's playing his rug I like
2100s	playing my
2101s	rug let's be real does anyone actually
2104s	care about the like build I'm playing uh
2107s	I feel like this is more just to like
2108s	keep me occupied while I answer
2115s	questions and if people haven't seen the
2117s	game before to
2118s	like let them see what a noob looks like
2121s	when they're
2125s	playing okay this is going to take
2127s	bit this these these gu there's so much
2130s	health the health was so big for this
2132s	I'm going to just
2134s	like smack of the pool noodle the whole
2139s	time how is SL was the theory crafting
2142s	around the Warlock did you guys have a
2144s	clear idea of what you wanted to build
2146s	or was there a lot of discussion around
2147s	it there was a massive discussion around
2151s	it I thought it was a boss fight that
2153s	started there oh my God I'm thinking of
2155s	the
2156s	campaign
2158s	not the
2159s	actual Quest
2163s	Echo right let's keep going I know which
2166s	way it
2168s	is is see big claw on the map oh guess
2171s	you
2173s	don't
2178s	um uh warlock clar ideas yeah so we
2183s	had um about two years ago three years
2188s	ago we had a um some some design feels
2194s	about the uh Warlock and what it was
2196s	going to do like we had some with some
2198s	meetings some like directions we were
2199s	going to go certain things that we
2201s	intentionally kept out of power I am
2205s	unable a few things that we
2206s	intentionally kept out of Lich and
2208s	Necromancer to make room for
2211s	it
2213s	um like there was there was there was
2215s	stuff done with it that was sort of like
2217s	preliminary work but like preliminary
2219s	design work um when we went to actually
2222s	make the uh the Warlock we realized that
2226s	um you know we had we had a lot of new
2229s	tools we had a lot of new ideas there
2231s	were new items there were new metas that
2232s	had formed there were like was all sorts
2234s	of new stuff since then and we decided
2236s	to kind of redesign it from scratch we
2240s	um had many many rounds of design
2244s	meetings um that started from the point
2247s	of like let's decide what style of stuff
2251s	we even want the Warlock to be able to
2253s	do um and then went to like we we we had
2258s	uh after we sort of like landed on some
2261s	like keywords that you're going to see
2265s	um like like if we're going to if we're
2267s	going to keyword out like I let's
2270s	keyword out the Druid right um it's
2272s	going to be something like uh like like
2274s	shape shifting um like possibly hybrid
2278s	builds um like nature connection you
2283s	know all all these things like like
2284s	minor Min minion Synergy
2289s	um things like this
2292s	and uh so we we did that for Warlock and
2295s	then everyone on the design team went
2296s	away and just made their own design for
2300s	a warlock everyone picked skills um
2303s	couple key passives maybe uh it was sort
2305s	of like however however much inth you
2307s	wanted to go um and then we we people
2311s	presented those to the group um we
2314s	talked about them discussed things we
2315s	liked about each one
2318s	um picked
2324s	out uh pick picked out yeah specific
2326s	things we need to we liked about each
2328s	one um
2330s	discussed like details
2332s	of
2336s	more
2337s	of some of some pitches that were like
2339s	cohesive of ideas from various people
2341s	that sort of thing
2345s	um you know went away came back
2347s	discussed it more eventually got down to
2349s	the point where we were happy with uh
2351s	the the the overarching design we had
2353s	about two or three skills locked
2355s	in
2358s	um went
2360s	through uh started implementing those
2362s	skills got test versions of those skills
2363s	out thanks Sam great job um
2367s	decided a couple of them weren't really
2368s	hitting the themes we wanted to
2370s	hit uh we scrapped the Mastery skill
2374s	completely at that point actually
2375s	replaced
2378s	it uh moved a
2380s	skill from one of the other
2382s	classes
2385s	um a question I'm answering
2390s	here it was it was a pretty long process
2394s	uh then then we go through and develop
2396s	uh design meetings for each individual
2398s	skill on the trees that they're going to
2400s	have that that's like three meetings per
2403s	skill
2406s	um yeah then they're in implementation
2409s	warlock's basically done of of like the
2412s	the main stuff like it's got tons of
2413s	bugs that got to get
2416s	fixed um but the main feel for warlock
2419s	is is in and we're getting um early
2422s	feedback from people on it uh trying to
2425s	try and Design some more specific do not
2428s	stand in that mic my goodness what are
2430s	you thinking
2440s	um uh and we are let's just
2450s	not uh yeah so we're we're in we're in
2453s	uh early feedback phase for Warlock and
2456s	we'll be
2458s	um we're we're definitely past the point
2461s	of like hey maybe we should
2465s	um like scrap this skill and design a
2467s	new skill like that's not that's not
2469s	having the skills that it has now are
2470s	the skills it's going to launch with um
2473s	but you know like nodes can get changed
2474s	and added and all that sort of
2478s	stuff and there's a lot more than just
2480s	the skill trees that goes into it too so
2482s	like there's um idols and affixes and
2485s	and uniques and um you know there's
2488s	there's there's a lot of stuff that goes
2491s	into uh a class sign passives as well
2494s	all sorts
2515s	stuff
2517s	okay next one of these oh my
2521s	goodness uh maybe in the future you can
2523s	transfer into a
2525s	falcon uh the Falcon is is a minion
2530s	skill just to be
2536s	clear a bad timing
2541s	Mike back to the
2545s	center
2549s	all right let's get fighting again can I
2551s	get more questions I'm trying I'm trying
2552s	to get in a position where I can like
2553s	look over and get a
2558s	question uh personally I hate leaving
2560s	legendaries on the ground any chance for
2562s	crafting mod where I can destroy one
2563s	legendary for percent chance to get one
2565s	two three uh LP on an identical one or
2568s	something so I always want to pick them
2569s	up um so this is this is a fantastic
2573s	example of what I was talking about
2575s	earlier about um um presenting a
2578s	solution along with the problem which is
2579s	totally fine to do uh it's just the
2582s	solution you've suggested is no is the
2584s	answer to that suggestion um however it
2587s	it is a problem that I agree needs uh
2591s	addressing
2598s	um so the the problem is
2602s	um unique items are uh there there's a
2606s	fair bit of Fanfare around a unique item
2607s	dropping and when it's one you don't
2610s	actively need for anything it's
2613s	disappointing and there's no there's no
2616s	incentive to pick up um unique like the
2619s	bar to pick up a unique item ends up
2621s	becoming fairly High to the point where
2624s	it feels like you're leaving behind more
2626s	unique items than you're picking
2628s	up which doesn't feel
2632s	great um and so the suggested solution
2634s	here is um
2637s	create an
2639s	additive LP chance
2642s	system for unique
2645s	items and if we're going to do that
2647s	without dramatically affecting the
2649s	relative LP chance of unique
2654s	items relative to each other so the the
2657s	the LPL that items have it's a hidden
2659s	stat um it's the chance that an item
2662s	will have legendary potential or the
2663s	legendary potential level of the item um
2667s	if if we're not going to adjust if we're
2668s	not going to um dramatically affect that
2671s	balance in the system like this and just
2672s	say we're going to do that and put it in
2674s	okay great
2676s	um I don't have the numbers in front of
2678s	me but like the chances of a very
2682s	high
2684s	um like like you you putting putting a
2688s	zero LPL item into
2692s	this crafting system um maybe maybe
2696s	would have like a a one in 10 chance of
2699s	adding one
2700s	LP um and maybe like a one in 40 chance
2704s	of adding two LP I don't know what the
2706s	numbers are but you know what I mean
2707s	like it starts to get kind of ridiculous
2708s	where you're like there's a one in 500
2709s	chance of getting four LP or something
2712s	um and then you go to like the um the
2715s	high LPL items and it's like well
2718s	there's a one in a thousand chance
2720s	you'll get one LP
2723s	great um and and and it just it just
2727s	doesn't work great you know so there
2729s	needs there needs to be something oh my
2736s	goodness my HP is
2740s	Tiny this HP pool is mini mini mini and
2744s	these items are
2747s	terrible oh my God this is why I'm
2751s	struggling what is
2754s	that what is that
2761s	oh I don't want to go through and fix
2762s	this character right
2767s	now oh what are we going to do what are
2768s	we gonna do what are we going to do I'm
2769s	just gonna I'm just going to go to a
2771s	different uh a different
2774s	timeline I think I struggled here
2776s	recently my goodness
2780s	okay probably not ready for
2783s	this now you may be thinking to yourself
2786s	Mike where's our leak you died well I've
2791s	been leaking this whole time that
2793s	sounded terrible in the top right corner
2795s	of the screen you may notice the mini
2797s	map hasn't been changing as I've been
2799s	playing yes what's
2802s	this this is a little look at the uh
2805s	mini map changes and Quest display
2809s	changes coming for the HUD next
2815s	patch
2817s	um but yes so just to get back to the um
2820s	unique item pickup problem so H having
2822s	some sort of system to like reason to
2825s	pick up some uniques in certain
2826s	situations but not and so like sorry the
2829s	the extreme flip side to that problem is
2831s	that if you add a system where every
2832s	unique has a chance to add LP to that
2834s	same unique um the only ones you're
2837s	trying to pick up are the ones for
2838s	uniques that you actually want LP on
2841s	um but then you get to the point where
2843s	there's if you're in merchant Guild
2844s	someone's going to want it and suddenly
2846s	if you're in merchant skill you're
2847s	picking up every single unique item you
2849s	ever find um and then and that's just
2853s	too much so there needs to be some sort
2854s	of limiting factor to it um and the
2856s	chances are so low for so many items
2858s	that it just doesn't work great so we
2859s	need to find a way to incentivize
2861s	picking up more but not all unique items
2866s	uh with some alternate system I don't
2869s	know what that
2870s	is um but it's probably not chance to
2874s	add LP to an item
2877s	very long-winded way of saying sorry
2885s	nuh uh maybe in the future we you can
2888s	transform into a I already read that
2889s	didn't I I'm so far behind hi Spike
2894s	hello uh scrolling scrolling scrolling
2898s	keep the chat scrolling uh I only pay
2901s	attention when you play void Knight or
2903s	Paladin oh I haven't played void Knight
2905s	or Paladin in Forever
2906s	ever I should really do that should I I
2909s	I haven't leveled in a while I could
2910s	start it
2918s	fresh how do I how do I how do I
2926s	uh it's how much of a twitch chat Noob I
2929s	am how does
2931s	one
2933s	create a pole
2950s	SL pole doesn't work well just let me
2952s	know if you want me to I'll start loving
2954s	a fresh character if you want someone
2955s	say yes or
2962s	no uh will Sor see some love what when
2966s	poo OPAC Tre and Frozen orb uh skill
2968s	treat rework maybe uh there are much
2970s	more pressing matters at the
2975s	moment uh hello I was trying to do a
2978s	forge Master with a shield thrown and
2980s	pick up and picked up iron reflex is
2982s	passive node that converts Dodge to
2983s	armor but seems like it's not working is
2985s	it a mechanical bug visual bug or
2987s	anything like that it is working it is
2989s	working perfectly um because it is a
2991s	just in time calculated stat it does not
2994s	appear on your character sheet
2997s	um but it is working I
3000s	promise uh is there any load out in the
3002s	game or in the future where you could
3004s	you can save our favorite builds and
3005s	easily to switch between them in the
3006s	future um uh if I'm going to use Diablo
3009s	3 wardrobe system wardrobe Armory D 3
3012s	armory sounds wrong there's a system in
3015s	DIA 3 right by your stash there's a
3016s	little wardrobe you go talk to it and
3017s	you just like pick this build and it
3018s	just like changes all your gear from
3019s	your stash and you still got it it like
3021s	it just red do your entire character
3023s	like that um we're not doing that
3026s	hard super not doing that um the resp
3030s	costs associated with skills and then
3032s	the different resp costs associated with
3034s	passives um really don't play nice to do
3037s	that
3040s	um I I would really like to see a a way
3044s	to like save build plans in
3049s	game like a way to say
3051s	like like Mark certain nodes as like
3054s	okay well this one you plan to put three
3055s	three in this one you'd plan to put one
3057s	in and and you know so you could see
3059s	what your plan was um I think that would
3061s	be really great uh we don't have
3062s	anything like that planned right now but
3065s	um that's about as far as a system like
3067s	that would go likely at least
3079s	initially it's going to go so
3084s	bad
3087s	next
3088s	question uh any chance of allowing us to
3091s	change things
3093s	[Music]
3095s	on chks like female Druid oh oh
3099s	character customization system um 1.0
3102s	hard no definitely not um it is
3106s	something that we do want to add to the
3107s	game character customization is a um a
3110s	feature that people are um extremely
3112s	polarized about they either desperately
3115s	absolutely need to to have it in order
3116s	to have fun in the game or they couldn't
3118s	care less about it the the two ants and
3120s	I was not entirely sure this other
3122s	people but like almost every time this C
3124s	question comes up on like a forum post
3126s	or a Reddit threat or something like
3127s	that it'll be just like someone who um
3131s	refuses to play the game without it and
3132s	other people being like but
3135s	why um and other people being like
3138s	because it's I never play games that are
3140s	that don't have it and everyone else
3142s	being like but why and so it's just like
3143s	this huge really polarized options
3146s	usually and and there's no right answer
3149s	to it
3150s	um like which one's better or anything
3152s	like that there there's no right answer
3155s	there
3157s	um
3159s	the it's it's a way bigger feature than
3163s	than most people think it is and um we
3166s	do not have the bandwidth to add it at
3168s	1.0 um we're not going to try it's not
3170s	happening um it is something that we do
3173s	intend to do at some point in in the
3175s	future I do not know when so you know
3179s	there there's there are no timeline
3180s	information available whatsoever on it
3183s	um it's an eventually someday feature
3185s	but you
3186s	know it's it's eventually someday going
3188s	to
3200s	come uh any chance of allowing us to
3202s	change all answer that same
3204s	thing
3206s	and the the character cation thing goes
3208s	goes well beyond just uh gender uh
3210s	changes um they'll be like
3213s	uh I I I don't know how in-depth it'll
3215s	be but like body type will be one of the
3218s	options
3221s	um and and various other features you
3223s	know like it probably won't be as
3227s	insanely uh detailed and awesome as like
3231s	um I don't know what's the game with an
3233s	epic uh balers Gate 3 had an epic
3235s	character customizer probably won't be
3236s	quite that
3237s	intense
3240s	um cuz that was
3242s	like it's it's there's a big difference
3245s	in the type of game as well so like B
3246s	Gate 3 you spend a lot of time uh in
3249s	cutcenes with your character like this
3251s	is zoomed out type thing in a cut scene
3254s	in that game like it's it's you spend a
3256s	lot of time up close in personal whereas
3257s	in Epoch most of the time you spend with
3260s	like this is about this is like the most
3263s	visual availability of like a face in
3265s	like any character helmet you know and
3268s	still half it's
3283s	covered all
3290s	right uh hey what ingame activities are
3293s	going to be added on release Merchant
3294s	skilled and the circle of
3299s	Fortune uh yes would be cool to see
3302s	sorry I don't know oh yes this is about
3305s	asking if I was going to
3307s	um
3311s	uh play new character yeah
3319s	sure I don't see anyone disagreeing with
3322s	you so you've decided it I'm going to
3323s	start a new character right now just for
3332s	fun yeah
3336s	safe just of like I wonder what that
3338s	screen looks like right now it's fine
3341s	there's like nothing
3346s	there who's this going to be do
3353s	Gideon I am the senel
3356s	I Am The Sentinel no I'm
3361s	Sentinel all right any plan reworks for
3364s	one point0 that you can share with us
3369s	um uh I can tell you what we're
3371s	currently working
3373s	on um so we are currently working on
3376s	some what am I doing uh uh we are
3379s	currently working on updates
3383s	to uh a couple um a couple little things
3387s	in Shaman right
3391s	now
3394s	um yeah so what's one thing we're
3396s	currently working on design
3405s	meetings we can check we can check out
3407s	this too here I'll uh I'll think it
3409s	lines up as well on the screen but
3414s	uh
3416s	oh look something else is different I
3417s	wonder what it could be oh very
3421s	interesting um so as as you can see with
3424s	I I'll bring put them both up at the
3426s	same
3427s	time
3430s	um we are updating
3433s	our so we just move these to Center so
3435s	you can see them better oh come
3439s	on we are we are updating our
3443s	um uh Quest display and mini map panel
3446s	for UI um so you'll be able to have a
3450s	little bit more control over um you can
3453s	see up here these little pin icons um
3457s	you'll have more control over which
3459s	quests show up in this list here uh by
3462s	being able to pin them specifically and
3464s	so it it priori it tries to give you
3466s	just naturally appropriate Quests for
3469s	the chapter you're in or the Zone you're
3471s	in if you're in the zone with a quest so
3472s	it'll like automatically just give you
3474s	nearby quests in get tracked um but you
3476s	can also just be like forc it be like no
3478s	don't show me that one show me this one
3479s	instead um it will always keep main
3483s	quests on there
3485s	and always leave room for one side quest
3489s	it also doesn't show if
3491s	multiple
3493s	um if multiple quests if if multiple
3499s	um conditions objectives multiple
3502s	objectives there we go found it uh are
3505s	completed simultaneously for one Quest
3506s	it only displays the last uh the
3510s	objectives for the the for the farthest
3512s	along step in that Quest being completed
3516s	so you won't get these like ridiculous
3517s	things when you if you if you ever been
3519s	portal to end of time on a brand new
3520s	character you'll see this like giant
3522s	list of like stuff shows up that's just
3524s	like oh my goodness this is completely
3526s	incomprehensible so that doesn't happen
3527s	anymore and and you little little
3529s	upgrades like that so we're um we're
3532s	also working on making the mini map
3533s	cleaner clearer being being able to see
3535s	things easier uh especially for when
3537s	you've got
3540s	um like lots lots of things the me out
3542s	just you can see things easier and the
3543s	important stuff sticks out
3545s	more
3547s	yeah dang got the only skill we need for
3550s	the rest of the
3552s	game
3562s	uh I love this new area it's so pretty
3572s	all right to be Hest I haven't played
3574s	much attention paid much attention to
3575s	the XP bar while playing how big is the
3578s	penalty when you die zero is it possible
3581s	to lose a level due to death
3585s	no uh thanks for the kind of reply
3587s	you're welcome I don't remember what
3588s	reply it was but I'm glad you liked it
3591s	guess I go back up and
3594s	see
3601s	I found another post thank you me you're
3602s	welcome
3603s	again oh the load out stuff yeah s
3607s	wasn't the answer you're hoping
3609s	for uh will passive Point bonuses come
3612s	to all Paladin or passive trees for.
3614s	will passive Point bonuses oh oh oh oh
3618s	the lock the lock no uh
3620s	the threshold nodes they probably aren't
3622s	even here actually are there
3628s	I don't see any threshold
3635s	nodes
3637s	um I I don't it it takes a fair bit to
3640s	like really drill down into a passive
3641s	tree and um figure out where changes to
3645s	that are coming and where like really
3646s	good places to put things are
3650s	um and it's not something that's done
3653s	lightly uh I don't know if we have
3654s	enough enough design time
3656s	to implement um those types of nodes the
3662s	um threshold nodes so it's like a node
3663s	where it gives you like one strength per
3665s	point but at Five Points it also gives
3666s	you 10% movement speed or something like
3668s	that
3673s	um I uh I don't I don't know if we're
3677s	going to get those in for every class by
3679s	does that work right
3683s	now
3689s	problem
3690s	solved is hide Helm going to be a thing
3695s	um
3696s	uh I I don't see why
3699s	not
3702s	um Wow Mike died in the tutorial area so
3706s	good uh I don't I don't see why not but
3710s	um the it's not on the list so I can't
3713s	say it will be
3717s	uh if a build proves to be Giga op like
3720s	current ball lightning in D4 will you
3721s	Nerf it midcycle or leave it uh to run
3724s	for the cycle when
3727s	you it depends let me watch you fight uh
3732s	if there's if
3734s	there's if there's a build that's like
3737s	really warping
3741s	everything let's
3743s	just really quickly get a
3749s	belt better than
3751s	nothing
3752s	[Music]
3754s	um if there's if there's uh a build
3757s	that's like you go look at the ladder
3759s	and it is the first 100 entries are that
3762s	build and nothing else you know it's it
3766s	it puts us in a really really tricky
3768s	spot and really unfortunate spot and
3770s	we'd have to address that
3773s	situation exactly like however that
3776s	situation is so
3779s	um having a uh a meta that is
3786s	so come on what's going on uh having a
3789s	meta That's So like um homogenized is
3793s	bad for the game um
3797s	having a leaderboard a ladder where it's
3801s	impossible for anyone
3803s	to uh improve upon the top slot like to
3806s	take number one position is also really
3809s	bad so so being in a situation where
3811s	like so if we if we do nothing you
3813s	you're left in a situation where the
3814s	only way to beat the top spot is to play
3816s	the build if we Nerf the build like
3818s	crazy or even just
3820s	moderately whoever's sitting on top is
3823s	never going to leave who for the rest of
3825s	the cycle just they're just stuck there
3829s	um now
3831s	it's it it's it's really tricky because
3834s	suddenly you're like like okay cuz if we
3835s	change it we're like okay great you can
3837s	play any build you want but you can't
3840s	ever get on the ladder so do you want to
3842s	play any build you can't you know it's
3845s	like it's a it's a really difficult uh
3849s	debate that we'd have internally for
3850s	that specific situation um I the the
3855s	other the other option there is you buff
3857s	other things around it to give them a
3858s	chance and then when the
3863s	um when the when the reset comes
3867s	along um you then you then have to Nerf
3870s	a whole bunch of things and it's like um
3872s	oh the start of the Season all you do is
3873s	Nerf and then midseason all you do is
3875s	buff and it's like okay we'll just wait
3877s	till the mid-season Buffs to play the
3878s	build you want is sort of the reputation
3879s	that happens and we we definitely don't
3881s	want that
3885s	um is is there is there a single
3887s	catch-all way to do this no not even
3891s	close um there was we wouldn't be having
3894s	this conversation you
3896s	know
3899s	and give me a
3903s	helmet Oh wrong
3914s	one um and so because we have
3920s	to uh weigh all these things you know
3923s	it's hard to
3925s	give a clear answer for that the there
3927s	sort of there's another option too and
3928s	that's um you Nerf the build and you
3932s	adjust um you adjust the rankings of
3935s	people who got with that
3937s	build uh like to match the new version
3941s	of it so you're like okay we Nerf this
3943s	build like 10% let's say we Nerf all the
3945s	ranks 10% and I doesn't work out like
3948s	that's basic math for uh not explaining
3951s	it properly but like you can you can
3952s	then adjust them little as the numberb
3954s	like well they actually got this number
3956s	but this is like the estimated uh number
3958s	it would be with the fixed bug or
3961s	something like
3962s	that and I think it also is important if
3965s	the reason that the build is super
3967s	powerful is a bug or a mistake we made
3970s	based on balance like if we're just like
3971s	oh we we we we put that node and that
3974s	skill it said plus a thousand more
3976s	damage we didn't think that would be bad
3980s	um and so
3982s	there's someone's going to find a that
3984s	does that
3988s	whoops and uh so so yeah there's a lot
3991s	that goes into that
3992s	conversation and the short answer is it
3997s	depends all
4002s	right we go void version or like why is
4006s	that note in the bottom of Sentinel
4008s	that's
4008s	insane start with strength and res it's
4011s	the easy stuff
4013s	Universal
4015s	uh are there plans to add some sort of
4018s	visual I uh indication like highlighted
4023s	outline of a boss when it is within kill
4025s	threshold only for bosses
4028s	um we we actually talked about this
4030s	really recently and
4034s	um the kill
4036s	threshold uh range is different for uh
4040s	different skills so you can have five
4042s	different skills in your bar with five
4043s	different kill threat holds um uh you
4047s	may not actually able to make that
4048s	happen but you know like there's there's
4049s	a lot of there's a lot of different ways
4051s	that you can have different kill
4052s	thresholds
4054s	um oh that's what's going my headset's
4056s	just turned up see you
4058s	Ahad like it's so loud I feel like I'm
4060s	shouting over myself sorry about
4064s	that uh void running out of Mana let's
4068s	do Chanel
4070s	costs um
4073s	and I'm going get
4079s	that oh yeah kill thresholds on bosses
4082s	um you've got so I think I think there's
4085s	a a really
4088s	good um I'd like to see the if I if I
4092s	was going to if you're going to say hey
4093s	Mike make a system to fix this problem
4095s	I'm having of not knowing when kill
4097s	thresholds are for bosses um the system
4100s	I would suggest for that is you bring me
4103s	your problems not your Solutions
4104s	just kidding um it it would be to have a
4108s	setting in here that says uh like kill
4110s	threshold marker or something like that
4112s	and it would you you'd be able to pick a
4113s	percentage that the kill threshold
4115s	marker would sit at you like 18% because
4116s	I know my kill threshold is 18% that's
4118s	the number you want to see and it would
4119s	just put like a little tick there like a
4121s	little like little marker so you could
4122s	see what it is um May maybe it turns
4125s	color when that happens or it glows or
4126s	something lights up or I don't know
4127s	something when it hits that threshold
4128s	but it's like a fixed number that you
4130s	pick in your UI or it's just a universal
4133s	like line we put there for everyone and
4135s	it's like okay well this is the 15% Mark
4138s	so like most we know most skill
4139s	thresholds are
4140s	15% um and so we just put that in or
4143s	something like that you know like
4144s	there's there's I think there's a lot of
4146s	different ways we can do it
4150s	um
4158s	yeah what is your favorite currently
4160s	released class and why um I'm I I love
4163s	Marksman it's my favorite um I'm just
4166s	always partial that type of
4169s	character I also
4171s	realized this something I realized
4174s	um uh uh yesterday the day before very
4178s	recently I was playing um I was playing
4181s	around with Falconer because I've been
4183s	working on skills for Falconer right now
4185s	almost at the name of the skill caught
4186s	myself um and I I realized that I looked
4191s	down I looked down my bar looked how I
4192s	was playing I'm like oh my God
4194s	I've literally just made my most recent
4197s	D and D character exactly the same like
4199s	all of my abilities everything I do like
4202s	it's all just exactly the same as my
4205s	last D andd character completely by
4207s	mistake um like the the abilities I was
4210s	using the the things I was using the the
4212s	the everything was just the same I'm
4215s	like uh I have a
4222s	problem oh we can make a hammer to a
4224s	actually that would be
4226s	fun Should we make a hammer
4230s	him do
4239s	that s's just so easy to uh to talk and
4243s	and
4253s	do
4254s	game blame's quiet
4262s	really oh my God srirat is back in stock
4265s	oh my God stop the presses oh my God

4316s	okay that's so awesome I'm so excited
4319s	now uh will there be new or additional
4322s	monolith quests in the future
4326s	yes uh is there plans to do uh 1.0 no
4329s	just to be clear uh is there plans to do
4332s	group finder or something to help those
4335s	that want to play with a group but don't
4336s	have any active friends
4341s	absolutely um when is this com I don't
4344s	know I'm sorry uh but yes this is
4347s	actually some of the big one of the
4348s	biggest pieces of feedback we got from
4351s	um uh like from from the last six months
4353s	of of collecting feedback about the game
4356s	is that people are uh people want to be
4359s	able to play with other people but um
4361s	towns are supposed to be a big part of
4363s	that
4365s	um but it's
4368s	not uh it's
4370s	not like they've been they've been on
4371s	they've been off and it doesn't quite do
4373s	what
4375s	like we we knew they weren't going to be
4376s	the catch all solution for that we knew
4377s	we knew that it wasn't like here let's
4378s	see if this does it that wasn't it but
4380s	it's just like we want to bring the
4382s	community together to play together
4384s	better um and towns was the first little
4387s	step in that
4389s	direction um
4392s	and we we have gotten a lot of feedback
4394s	that we need a way for people who want
4397s	to play together but can't to do that um
4400s	I still love the D2 way of doing this um
4403s	it doesn't really work great for us
4405s	unfortunately so and we actually we have
4407s	it's funny we have mockups like UI
4410s	mockups done um well we made UI mockups
4413s	for uh basically recreating the D2 Lobby
4416s	system um it was it was different those
4418s	was those was other features and you
4420s	know was there's shifts and changes but
4422s	it
4423s	was functionally largely very
4431s	similar it was abandoned and we are
4433s	looking at something else for this
4436s	feature uh have you ever
4438s	considered probably an armor and weapon
4441s	die system for Guild Wars one I love the
4443s	Guild Wars one a weapon armor system um
4445s	yes we have considered it heavily um
4447s	it's not
4454s	ready uh since exalted items is purple
4458s	and experimental gear is yellow slash um
4462s	it's a different purple but uh blue
4464s	purple uh is there a chance to use
4465s	experimental gear to upgrade unique into
4468s	legendary no it has to be an exalted
4471s	item I know it says exalted maybe in the
4473s	future um I I mean never say never but
4478s	no uh sorry a few G7 aexes mostly uh
4483s	chance to apply ailments
4485s	with uh low
4489s	caps what's going on here have uh with
4493s	very low hard caps for usefulness will
4496s	we eventually see uniques or skills that
4498s	can capitalize on these imagine it would
4500s	be similar to the recent wave of uniques
4502s	and skills utilize UNCA resistances
4507s	um uh the more Niche
4512s	the uh the stat is the less likely it is
4516s	to happen but I do know that we have
4518s	added
4519s	more uncapped relative stat systems like
4525s	that for
4533s	1.0 D2 Lobby system is the best up
4536s	finding something close to this I mean
4538s	there's
4540s	um I I think there I think there's a lot
4543s	of things in
4548s	um the the big the big problem with the
4550s	D2 Lobby system for the what we have the
4552s	way that our multiplay set up in the
4553s	game game works right now
4555s	um is is that you
4559s	don't
4561s	um I don't know how say it's like you
4564s	you have to get the you have to get like
4566s	all the way into game first and then
4569s	start interacting with it so like it's
4572s	going to be a window in
4582s	game might be maybe be an automated
4584s	system that's just
4586s	like like here's the type of thing I
4588s	want to do here's the level that I want
4590s	to play
4591s	at
4593s	um find me people you know there's
4597s	there's a ton of stuff that goes into
4598s	automated matchmaking systems
4601s	um I actually watched a great video on
4603s	it just uh last week
4607s	um it's really
4612s	interesting
4617s	we need to get our damage up I should
4618s	probably be looking for a weapon I've
4620s	just like ignoring everything we're
4622s	still using the starting
4624s	weapon what is that hatchet sping up
4626s	isn't
4639s	it we have been to the um
4644s	town where the stash
4645s	was okay next Waypoint I see I am uh
4650s	realizing that I have lunge to use and
4652s	I'm just not for some
4659s	reason are there plans to add more
4661s	beneficial player modifiers for monolith
4665s	um beneficial player modifiers so like
4671s	uh like like the rewards like oh you you
4673s	get a bunch of crafting materials or you
4674s	get a bunch of gold things like that um
4677s	yes there aren't any plan for oh my God
4679s	it's backwards are we're good now only
4682s	when running it's backwards it's funny
4684s	uh there aren't any planned for
4687s	1.0 um but it is something that we would
4689s	like to add more
4702s	of
4715s	more questions steb shows the price of
4718s	the game is almost double in Brazil but
4720s	the price in the US is the same why is
4722s	that um the game uses steam's automatic
4726s	pricing
4727s	system so it should be the same relative
4730s	price everywhere as far as I
4732s	know
4736s	there may have been uh maybe a
4739s	significant CH change in value of
4741s	currency and steam's automatic Regional
4744s	price system hasn't caught
4746s	up we might
4750s	guess um I know there's a couple
4752s	countries we've intentionally lowered
4754s	the price on to not use that cuz there
4756s	were probably I think turkey was one of
4762s	them yeah I wanted to go back to town
4767s	anyways oh come on take me back oh I
4769s	guess it get go all the way back oh my
4770s	goodness Mike
4779s	okay you know what we're going to do
4782s	what I should have done
4789s	initially it's like 10x damage right
4792s	there
4799s	get 4X damage
4807s	still can you trigger it for me oh you
4809s	can trigger it from back
4813s	here it's
4822s	funny
4828s	all
4831s	right oh let's get some
4834s	gloves and a
4847s	shield just
4852s	something
4853s	go back to
4856s	[Music]
4866s	town we're going to we're going to grab
4868s	something to use here oh yeah let's go
4870s	there we
4872s	go got to have bees right oh slab yeah
4876s	here we
4880s	go uh else can I use
4894s	not much is usable
4899s	here probably be a lot easier oh we can
4902s	go
4905s	spoon this is why you should organize
4907s	your
4908s	stashes instead of this jumbled mess of
4912s	garbage
4913s	he some rings I don't know what they do
4916s	didn't even look at them but they're
4919s	Rings oh here we
4924s	go
4928s	yeah that's that's the piece we needed
4930s	to find right
4939s	there exalted ax I'm like oh it's usable
4943s	no mic there's no exalted ax usable this
4947s	level oh yeah okay let's just go
4953s	hammer one
4956s	LP it's junky but it'll
4961s	do anything
4964s	else
4966s	ber
4968s	berer all right let's go let's have some
4972s	fun
4979s	uh why is the ax in hand switching
4981s	around animation bug the bone to hold
4987s	that
4988s	weapon is uh is it's rotating along the
4992s	Zed axis by
4996s	180° compared to when it's in uh running
5000s	compared to
5001s	Idol
5007s	[Music]
5025s	is there
5029s	a yeah there's something
5031s	there
5036s	oh maybe
5041s	not he might sense is a bit quiet in
5043s	here now probably time for some leaks
5045s	wink wink oh yeah okay good
5049s	idea sure thing also cuz I'm terrible
5052s	and just died
5056s	again uh here is a new Creepy
5061s	boy this is uh concept art for an enemy
5065s	that is coming to the game a new
5068s	enemy uh what is the design decision
5071s	with gifting items but only being able
5072s	to do so when the item was looted while
5075s	within a party any plans to add shared
5077s	stashes or something like that um so
5081s	it's essentially we don't want to create
5083s	an open free trade
5086s	market that's something we don't want to
5087s	do um something we do want to do is
5090s	allow people that um um play very
5096s	frequently with one or two people or
5100s	like just a tight neck group of people
5101s	like maybe three four five people
5102s	whatever but just like people who
5104s	frequently play with the same people
5106s	being able to um to help them out and to
5109s	share your stuff with them as you're
5110s	playing is something we do want to have
5113s	um so how do we create a system where
5117s	you can share items with your friends
5119s	but can't Implement free trade um well
5123s	the item has to drop while you're
5124s	playing
5125s	together um then if you do check out the
5128s	uh trade factions Dev blog that came out
5131s	eight months ago now uh and the in at
5134s	the bottom of that there's
5136s	a section that talks about
5139s	residences um a resonance is an item
5141s	someone just posted thanks G um a
5145s	resonance is an item that lets you add
5148s	someone to the list of tradeable or
5150s	giftable people that item has so an item
5153s	drops it says like here are the people
5154s	that it's giftable to um a resonance you
5157s	can apply resonance to an item to say
5158s	here also add this person to the
5160s	giftable list um and then they can then
5163s	then you can give it to that person now
5164s	that resonance item will only drop after
5166s	you've played a significant amount of
5167s	time with a specific person so like if
5170s	you and I play together for a long time
5171s	we'd each likely and they're not um
5175s	perfectly hard time there's some slight
5177s	random randomization in that so we get
5179s	them we'd each get a resonance for the
5180s	other person very close together but not
5183s	the exact same time necessarily um and
5185s	so that resonance is specifically linked
5187s	to the other person so I would be like
5188s	I'd get a resonance for you You' get a
5190s	resonance for me and we could each give
5192s	each other one item if we
5195s	wanted now just the followup question
5197s	that always comes after I explain this
5199s	is cool can I as a circle of Fortune
5202s	player give an item to my Merchant skill
5203s	friend or as a merchant skill player can
5205s	I give a item to my circle of Fortune
5206s	friend yes however gifting an item does
5210s	not change the item at all
5213s	so if an item has a merchant skill
5215s	requirement to use it and you gift it to
5218s	someone that person needs to be
5220s	currently representing Merchant skill in
5221s	a high enough rank in order to use it
5223s	still it does not remove that
5224s	requirement the requirement does not
5226s	prevent gifting but it also isn't
5229s	removed upon
5231s	gifting hope that's
5241s	clear
5244s	that's the super duper short version of
5250s	it yay animation
5254s	bugs it thinks I'm still holding right
5256s	click but I'm not uh let's say you find
5259s	five of the unique items you're looking
5261s	for but zero
5263s	LP
5268s	uh um okay so this is the I don't know
5271s	if you're here for the start I'll read
5272s	the full question a second but this is
5274s	this question is um another possible
5277s	solution to the problem presented
5278s	earlier about not picking up all unique
5281s	items um I just want to be clear preface
5283s	this by saying we can't put Weaver's
5285s	well on unique items that are not
5288s	designed specifically to have Weaver
5289s	Bell on
5293s	them uh R out of the gate um so this
5295s	says let's say you find five of the
5297s	unique item you are looking for but zero
5299s	LP on them how about selling five of the
5301s	exact same item to a vendor to get one
5304s	back but with Weber's will on it sorry
5306s	no can't do
5318s	it all right will there be cosmetics and
5320s	skins for J forms yes we do plan to add
5324s	um strictly visual only cosmetic ntx for
5330s	skills you can see that in your for down
5333s	here skill Cosmetics there are no skill
5335s	Cosmetics available yet check back so um
5339s	we we do plan to have skill Cosmetics
5341s	for every skill uh eventually um certain
5345s	skills take a lot more to make a skill
5347s	cosmetic for them so Fireball for
5349s	example is really easy to make a skill
5351s	cosmetic for it to make it cold looking
5354s	for example like there's there's some
5355s	stuff that goes into that but
5357s	like it's pretty low bar on difficulty
5360s	scale and oh my God I'm still playing
5362s	with this giant thing on my face like an
5364s	idiot I'm
5366s	sorry oh
5371s	Mike overlay he'll catch it don't worry
5375s	yeah sorry guys I do this like every
5383s	stream oh what was I talking
5388s	about I I I need like something to tell
5391s	me I don't know how to do this but yeah
5392s	they I'll figure it out
5394s	eventually um where was I I was talking
5397s	about stuff I was I was doing things I
5400s	definitely want
5402s	that um we damage from nearby enemies
5405s	right now
5408s	sweet get back to the question I was
5411s	answering D forms oh yeah so skill
5414s	Cosmetics Druids um like we're going to
5416s	do the skill Cosmetics everything
5417s	Fireballs easy um a reskin of the entire
5420s	Druid form is a little more in depth
5422s	there's a lot more that goes into that
5423s	because it's not just the Druid form
5425s	it's also the um Druid form Maul and
5429s	Druid form swipe and Dr form charge and
5431s	like all those things need to have
5433s	adjustments to them right so it's like
5435s	it's it's a lot that goes into one skill
5437s	MTX for Dre form or any of the forms
5440s	compared to um Fireball for example or
5444s	lightning blast or you know like there's
5445s	there's a lot of a lot easier ones to do
5449s	um so I'd say uh
5452s	like yes but I don't have any info on
5459s	timelines uh
5463s	hobber let's make it not terrible he
5467s	it's still
5471s	terrible somehow even
5477s	worse this
5479s	way you're here to help protect the
5483s	take
5486s	carefully oh God they're coming they've
5488s	breached the walls it's up to us
5497s	now trying to think of how the song be
5499s	prepared
5504s	starts you guys can do
5511s	it
5519s	any news at all on any console ports yet
5522s	yes the news is the same as it's been
5524s	forever um we do plan to add console
5527s	ports eventually it is absolutely not
5530s	going to appear at 1.0 um once 1.0
5534s	launches we will start to discuss which
5536s	consoles we'd like to look at adding the
5539s	game too and we'll decide when we want
5541s	to scope that in for a future patch um
5544s	no work has been done on it
5547s	uh it it is something we want to do uh
5551s	it is not something we have
5562s	done right now Cal damage once again
5566s	somehow even
5571s	worse
5573s	yeah console ports are interesting it's
5575s	um like the game is built in unity um
5579s	and we do have controller
5582s	support um so the those those are two
5586s	big hurdles for um console ports like we
5589s	we have a way we have a method for um
5592s	creating console builds we have a method
5596s	for most consoles to interact with the
5598s	system like like the the big stuff is at
5601s	least on the
5603s	way um but like we don't we don't have I
5607s	I don't I know I have no idea what goes
5608s	into making a console game we don't have
5609s	like do you get Dev kits still is that
5611s	still a thing um do you you have to like
5616s	you
5616s	know start a relationship with with
5619s	Microsoft or Sony and like um get
5621s	permission to start creating for their
5623s	systems I don't know I I don't know how
5625s	these things
5627s	work only ever done PC
5631s	games
5635s	and I I know we have people on the team
5636s	who have done console games so
5639s	it's there are people on the team that
5641s	that know what they're talking about
5642s	with with this sort of thing but um I
5646s	guess I'm just trying to illustrate that
5647s	we're we haven't started it
5656s	yet and more questions hit me with your
5660s	questions
5664s	all
5667s	right will there be Cosmetics that are
5669s	earnable in game for example by
5671s	completing challenges or being top of
5672s	the leaderboard um we do plan to have
5674s	things like that um there
5681s	are trying to remember someone got
5683s	approved or cut uh there
5688s	is there I'm just say maybe I don't know
5690s	if it is or not I've got cut out there's
5691s	there's a feature that we were working
5692s	on that may or may not have been cut but
5694s	I can't remember if it has or not that
5696s	would allow you to
5698s	earn uh two different Cosmetics I
5703s	think
5705s	um without you spending any money
5710s	yourself um and they're not like they're
5715s	not they're not like achievement based
5717s	type things unfortunately yet um but
5719s	it's it it is the style of thing that
5721s	we're looking at soon um I know I've
5724s	talked about this on previous stream so
5725s	I'll go light into it so people who've
5726s	heard me Ranch about this a few times
5728s	don't have to listen to it again but um
5730s	I'd personally really like to see a
5731s	system where you could
5734s	um uh would be like a compound earning
5736s	system for uh unlocking earned cosmetics
5740s	and maybe that's just as simple as you
5743s	get 50 cosmetic points if you come
5746s	within the top 100 of the ladder or
5747s	something like that you know or if
5749s	there's ladder specific unique or
5751s	cosmetic you just can't buy and um maybe
5755s	maybe there's maybe there's different
5756s	points maybe there's like a che maybe
5758s	there's
5759s	like heraldry points or I don't know
5761s	Champions points I don't know what
5762s	they're called but some other point that
5764s	when you place rank on the ladder you
5766s	get some of these points and if you rank
5767s	first you get a thousand of them if you
5768s	rank second you get 200 of them if you
5769s	rank third you get 50 of them and if you
5771s	rank fourth through 10th you get 10 of
5773s	them I don't know um so something like
5777s	that and you could you have questions
5779s	but let me first check and make sure the
5781s	ebook safe maybe bu uh you could you
5784s	could take those points and compound
5785s	them maybe you've um competed in four
5787s	ladders in a row but you didn't do very
5789s	well but you did some and you got like
5790s	you ranked on all them and uh
5792s	collectively you able to buy this like
5793s	sweet hat because you ranked well on
5795s	three in them m a row or something I
5796s	don't know um I'd really like to see
5798s	something like that it's a little bit
5800s	heftier of a system um so I like I know
5803s	we haven't planned for anything like
5804s	that I don't think we'll see anything
5805s	like that anytime soon but I i' really
5807s	like to see something like that that
5808s	would be my Pie in the Sky
5810s	idea
5817s	definitely won't be anything like that
5818s	for 1.0 sorry there's real
5822s	basic uh way that may or may not have
5825s	been cut to earn a couple of
5828s	things sorry I know it's super vague I
5832s	just don't always know what I'm allowed
5834s	to say or
5839s	not where we going who we talking to you
5842s	got
5843s	friends
5845s	friends everything okay I was raised by
5848s	the military I don't have any
5852s	friends what that that must war is all
5855s	I've known safe stay alive I always do
5859s	both back he can
5863s	rotten let's go get
5866s	bothus uh sorry if this has been as
5868s	Theon already oh what I what am I
5871s	clicking on
5872s	um how long will a cycle be after 1.0 13
5875s	weeks like Poe question mark um we are
5879s	we we don't have a hard set timeline for
5883s	specific cycle durations yet
5887s	um it's really convenient to be able to
5891s	have a consistent relative starting time
5895s	to Poe
5896s	leagues um and Poe is generally pretty
5900s	consistent with our leagues start times
5902s	so it's generally pretty easy to do that
5905s	um we don't want to tie ourselves too
5910s	strictly to uh Poe League starts um like
5914s	we don't want to say okay well you know
5916s	there's there's a Poe League every 13
5917s	weeks so you know every 13 weeks offset
5920s	by 6 weeks we're going to start one of
5922s	our own Cycles you know like we we don't
5924s	want to do that strictly
5928s	um I think that the the timing they have
5931s	on theirs is generally pretty good and
5934s	they've probably spent a lot of time and
5936s	money figuring out why that number is
5938s	pretty good
5940s	um they also have so much more
5945s	experience and uh backlog of Awesomeness
5949s	features that they've like just gotten
5951s	the bank ready to go that that allows
5953s	them to make really awesome cycle or
5955s	leagues um really
5958s	quickly um and we've we've been trying
5962s	to um match that's a wrong word but
5965s	emulate that style quite a bit with our
5967s	patching system um for the last few
5969s	years so we've been practicing a similar
5972s	type of um cyclical
5975s	patching and
5981s	um so I think you'll I think I think the
5984s	the the plan is to be roughly generally
5986s	kind of similar to their timings but
5989s	maybe not quite as precise at least
5990s	initially we we need to have the
5992s	capability to say hey this patch isn't
5994s	ready let's push it a week hey this this
5996s	patch is going to be done early well
5999s	that one happen um but you know you know
6001s	what I mean like we need to have that
6002s	capability and if we if we tie ourselves
6004s	too strictly to what Poe does um that's
6008s	that's not good for us basically yeah or
6010s	oh here's here's the flip side they've
6012s	delayed but we're ready to go do we also
6014s	delay type
6016s	thing probably not hopefully not depends
6020s	though we really don't want to be that
6024s	like strict on the relative release but
6027s	we we also do know that releasing both
6030s	our cycle and their league on the same
6031s	weekend is a terrible
6033s	idea just just just
6039s	bad for everyone of all it's a terrible
6041s	idea for everyone it's a terrible idea
6043s	for uh for us it's it's a bad idea for
6047s	Poe it's not terrible They Don't Really
6048s	Care probably that much but it's bad for
6049s	them too um and we don't want to uh you
6052s	know we don't want to burn any bridges
6054s	over there be like we're coming no
6056s	that's just a dumb idea um it's it's bad
6058s	for all of the people who want to play
6061s	both which is the most important thing
6065s	um
6080s	so try I'm trying to think of a way to
6082s	sum that up but I'm not a good good line
6084s	for it like mindful of Po's launch
6086s	timings but not beholden to
6095s	them can we get a Yogi Bear MTX for R
6098s	bear Druids oh my God I would love
6102s	that I would love that I seriously doubt
6106s	it
6107s	[Music]
6110s	um
6112s	um but like I mean if we got a bear that
6115s	was brainier than the mode bear
6120s	sure think median better word to use in
6134s	mode we've got stuff Lun here is we
6139s	going uh we go
6150s	uh will there ever be an alternative to
6154s	campaign leveling like early M some
6157s	style of Rifts map or anything else um
6160s	short answer see the 20 minute Mark of
6164s	this video uh for a detailed answer um
6169s	we have none short answer yeah short we
6171s	we have none or longer answers see the
6173s	20 minute mark this video sorry short
6174s	answers we have none planned at the
6175s	moment uh there already are some in
6178s	game
6180s	um in a roundabout
6184s	way kind
6191s	of oh wait I'm using bees aren't I
6194s	should pick up that be
6198s	item yeah minion damage
6202s	here we
6205s	go oh it's too much it's
6212s	[Music]
6226s	okay got to make our bees the best we
6228s	can right it's a logical thing to do
6235s	uh hey Mike I never played a lot of
6237s	mobas here's the new Earth is one of
6241s	them oh I played a lot of moas yes Han H
6244s	Han was good I I played a tiny bit of
6245s	Han at a land party once love fun got
6247s	into law right after uh those Heroes
6250s	tend to have amazing cool skills uh is
6253s	there something cool to get steel ideas
6256s	uh of or make something
6260s	similar
6267s	I don't really understand the question
6268s	are you asking like do we look at mobas
6271s	for inspiration for our own
6274s	skills is that what you're
6280s	asking cool um we don't go specifically
6286s	into other games and say hey what things
6290s	can we take from this this you know
6293s	um having said that tons of people on
6297s	our team have played a lot of mobas a
6300s	lot like like a
6302s	lot and like usually it's DOTA Dota 2
6305s	and L the big ones people on our team
6307s	have played um
6311s	like if you've ever played Dota 2 we
6313s	just released the Run Master which is
6314s	definitely nothing like the invoker from
6316s	Dota
6317s	2 uh and like dancing strikes is nothing
6321s	like riven's queue from L and like um
6325s	you know this is nothing like
6328s	garen's war path in law I don't know
6330s	what it's called in law it's it's war
6331s	path for us um but like you know there's
6334s	there's there's a lot of similarities
6336s	like the
6338s	um uh umbrell blades is definitely
6341s	nothing like oh it was launched after I
6344s	stopped playing L the the bird ADC
6347s	person it wasn't actually a bird it was
6348s	like a bird person like a a bird themed
6351s	person
6352s	ADC
6354s	um it's definitely nothing like that you
6356s	know like there's there there's a lot of
6358s	things and funny enough most of the time
6360s	it's a
6361s	mistake so like the um the person who
6365s	pitched the Rune Master the primary
6367s	course system for run Master had never
6369s	actually played invoker in Dota 2 um
6373s	even it's so similar and they finished
6375s	pchy and everyone just like that's
6377s	invoker like but it's great so let's
6379s	roll with it um
6381s	point point it's a little bit different
6383s	but yeah doesn't matter point is
6386s	um we we kind of I guess it's the short
6389s	answer we we don't like to say
6393s	um we don't we don't like to look at
6396s	other games specifically for ideas we
6398s	don't like to say like okay what can
6399s	what can we pull from this game type
6401s	thing um but just naturally as if you if
6404s	you've ever worked on a creative project
6406s	in in any medium really um the the the
6410s	things that you naturally start
6413s	to
6415s	um to to add to it are things that
6417s	you're familiar with or it's it's
6419s	influenced by the things you've
6421s	experienced and enjoyed in your past
6423s	about of similar um entertainments you
6427s	know like like maybe it's a maybe it's a
6428s	book you read and and you're making a
6431s	movie it has influence there and a lot
6433s	of times it's subconscious and
6436s	um we we we try not to take too much
6441s	into consideration of those games once
6443s	but once we have an idea where we're
6445s	like hey this is this is how we want
6447s	this to go this is a great idea
6450s	sometimes we'll start to look for um uh
6453s	other games to see what problems they
6456s	faed with similar skills so we can say
6458s	like okay well like does this exist
6461s	anywhere else like we've got this idea
6462s	for a skill but oh it's a lot of work to
6464s	implement is there are there any other
6465s	games that have similar abilities that
6468s	we can like see how it feels in that
6470s	game to see if it's like any fun at all
6472s	um is it something we want to do
6474s	sometimes maybe we're um maybe we're
6476s	running into a problem with with how
6478s	something functions and um we want to we
6482s	don't quite know how to solve it but
6483s	there's like other games that have
6484s	similar abilities that have a little bit
6486s	different properties maybe look at those
6487s	to say like how did they solve this
6488s	problem
6492s	um and and I don't think we've ever had
6496s	a onetoone just like oh they solve it
6497s	this way all right we'll do it the same
6498s	way it's because the genres are
6500s	different as well especially with mobas
6501s	the genas are different it is um there's
6504s	almost never an exact same solution but
6506s	you can kind of get you can look at the
6509s	um I can guess the reasons why they did
6512s	things was
6514s	impressive but it's
6517s	mine which can
6521s	help don't really we we try just to make
6524s	our own game you
6529s	know
6540s	but why wouldn't you if they're really
6541s	cool and give it your own
6542s	twist uh cuz in high school I learned
6546s	that you can't just take your friends
6548s	paper and change a few
6559s	words
6561s	the aoch is ours
6564s	R
6570s	me it's a little
6574s	scary it's
6576s	turn oh I bet this is the scene
6578s	transition people were talking about
6580s	about accidentally clicking I was
6581s	wondering like so there was a question
6583s	earlier about a boss fight and
6585s	accidentally clicking a scene transition
6586s	in a boss fight and I'm like in my in my
6589s	head when when that question came up I'm
6590s	like
6591s	that doesn't exist there's no boss
6592s	fights where the scene transition is
6593s	still there while you're fighting the
6594s	boss um but there clearly are that one
6596s	just was right there there was um out of
6601s	here other ones
6603s	too speaking
6606s	of back to come I must reach Lena at
6612s	once thanks Mike I just hope you still
6614s	be inspired by cool other things hint
6617s	yeah we get inspired by all sorts of
6619s	stuff
6623s	ter
6625s	bless be with you and and like that's
6628s	not to say that like it never happens
6630s	I'm sure I'm sure I'm sure this happens
6632s	in like we've we've seen this happen
6636s	where we've we've looked at other games
6639s	that have come out with things and we're
6641s	like a before we've even come out with
6643s	them like we we've got an internally
6644s	developed we haven't told anyone about
6646s	this um and we seen another game launch
6648s	a feature and we're like oh my God we're
6649s	literally about to to launch the exact
6651s	same
6652s	thing and then we had to have a
6654s	conversation of like what do we do cuz
6655s	we're second to the party at that point
6657s	they've just launched it do we just roll
6659s	with it the way it is uh what do we do
6662s	um that's happened a couple times um
6663s	there been a few times where we've like
6665s	just years later seen things where like
6668s	that's the exact same as this skill that
6670s	is that is the exact same and we're like
6672s	there's no way they they copied us or
6673s	whatever like that's never come to
6676s	mind um but like it's it's it's a little
6681s	tough sometimes we like do do we as the
6685s	smaller game in a lot of these
6686s	situations do we pivot to not be looking
6690s	like we're copying them type
6692s	thing I'm sorry to you
6696s	too is what's best for us that actually
6699s	happened with
6701s	um that happened with something
6709s	recently where'd he
6731s	go can you explain how the minimum
6733s	required level of an item is influenced
6735s	by the tier of said
6737s	item uh I want to have some lowle items
6741s	for starting a character and I don't
6742s	want them to have too high a
6744s	level my advice make legendaries off of
6748s	lowlevel uniques um the level of a
6752s	legendary item is exclusively determined
6756s	by the level of the unique that it is
6757s	based on so these keeper gloves no
6760s	matter what aics I put on them will
6762s	always be zero level required to equip
6765s	this Hammer no matter what ax I put on
6767s	it will always be zero level required to
6769s	equip my advice is um if you're if
6772s	you're at the point where you're like
6774s	I'm creating leveling twink items is is
6777s	find a the most important thing is your
6780s	weapon for a melee like 4 LP Hammer
6782s	laurant is not unheard of um
6786s	there's even a two or three lp1 is
6788s	fantastic for leveling with um and
6791s	there's tons of other items you can do
6792s	this with too and the level is still
6795s	zero good to go um as far as how it
6797s	actually how how the item level isal Cal
6800s	at um there's two things that can affect
6803s	a rare Magic exalted item level um that
6806s	is the level required for the base type
6808s	so every base type has a level
6810s	requirement um an infantry HRI I believe
6816s	is believe is zero it might be five I
6819s	don't know where that level is coming
6820s	from actually we can look
6822s	possibly one one one two yes so that
6825s	level is coming from the base item only
6829s	um
6831s	CU I'm pretty sure at level
6833s	one you can get a a a 2111
6838s	item I think that's level
6841s	one it's it's I I don't I'm sorry I
6844s	don't know the formula my head but it is
6846s	a function of the AIX tiers um level
6851s	tier one AIX tiers I think adds zero to
6854s	the level requirement tier two aics
6856s	tiers add a certain amount to level
6857s	requirement and it's like
6862s	oh I I don't know what it is off the top
6863s	my head I'm sorry it's changed a few
6864s	times as
6866s	well I I bet there's like uh there's
6869s	some people in the community they'll
6869s	just know the answer to this like
6871s	they'll like oh it's this Mike should
6873s	know I should know
6877s	um or if you ask me next week sometime
6879s	during the day on Discord I'll be able
6881s	to look it up for
6886s	you going this
6889s	way
6890s	and we're going this way yeah we got
6893s	have this I love the get that movement
6897s	speed
6897s	[Music]
6899s	CDR or CD I I cards actually what it is
6902s	not C techically
6905s	whatever that must be the most awful
6907s	feeling discover that yeah the
6910s	it's uh it's only ever happened once
6912s	where it felt
6915s	bad where we like actively consider not
6917s	releasing
6919s	something
6922s	but we've always released
6932s	it sort of like if it comes down to it
6935s	it's a problem we're like we've got
6936s	design documents dating back years that
6938s	have this in it like we're fine if it if
6942s	it's really a problem at some point you
6949s	know
6969s	it's kind of add odd having the pause of
6970s	R vanishes
6974s	yeah there's so the reason the reason
6976s	why the loading screen doesn't show up
6977s	right away when a scene transition
6978s	starts um we for quite a while we had a
6981s	bug um and it might still be there
6984s	actually there was where you could um
6986s	you could start a scene if a scene
6988s	transition
6989s	failed
6990s	um you could end up in a situation where
6993s	you just get stuck in the scene
6995s	transition but if we don't load the
6996s	scene transition uh screen right away
6998s	and start the scene transition without
7000s	loading
7004s	that W excuse me and we don't load that
7007s	we can um we can we we can get you out
7010s	of that uh dead state or like soft lock
7013s	State a lot easier and keep you playing
7014s	without having to
7017s	relog and the actual time the transition
7019s	takes is identical so it had no real
7022s	impact on how long it takes the same
7023s	transition um and we could keep people
7028s	from not being able to play
7034s	more wow twitch does not like the term
7038s	twinking it's a video game game term in
7040s	this
7052s	context oh just a sec
7059s	sorry Terra watch over
7062s	you
7068s	God God to town made it to
7076s	town not quite
7081s	yes I
7089s	forgot yo what's up chat Lord Dev H Lord
7093s	Dev I love
7098s	that my name is willhem ven Lord Dev
7102s	thei second of his
7105s	name yeah that's right the third is part
7107s	of the name and a second of my name of
7109s	the third as being part of the name
7112s	that's right you heard
7128s	me
7131s	what do you call two Royal Brothers twin
7137s	King
7142s	nice all right what's the design
7144s	approach behind runes o shattering why
7146s	not make it impossible to shatter items
7147s	using just gold why not make it possible
7149s	to shatter it using just gold I always
7151s	found myself having overflow of stash
7153s	but not enough runes to shatter all of
7155s	the items um might just a Mei
7158s	though yeah it's it's actually really
7161s	interesting you've you've identified the
7163s	reason in your question actually
7167s	um we kind of don't want to incentivize
7171s	people spending too much time picking up
7174s	items
7176s	um so we want we want do incend people
7178s	to pick up items but um we don't really
7181s	want there to be
7183s	a
7185s	um uh I don't know how you say it like a
7188s	situation where you're picking up so
7191s	many items that you're you're you're
7192s	constantly going back to town and and
7194s	breaking that flow we want you to have
7196s	the sort of like
7198s	um like like reasonable time spent
7201s	adventuring you get back to town like
7203s	we're talking campaign time here right
7205s	now mostly but just as an example like
7207s	you go through sections like between
7208s	towns and campaigns naturally and your
7210s	your inventory fills
7212s	up three quarters let's say in that time
7215s	between towns but you don't have to like
7217s	stop and go back to town
7220s	and break up that questing and
7221s	adventuring just to drop off gear that
7223s	you've picked
7224s	up so we tried pretty hard
7227s	to
7230s	um I guess I guess have subtle reasons
7234s	to either incentivize you to pick things
7236s	up but not pick up too many things at
7239s	the same time and
7242s	um if there was a completely
7246s	unlimited air quotes unlimited cuz you
7248s	cuz you have limited amount of gold but
7250s	um if if there was uh let's let's just
7253s	say there was an unlimited supply of
7255s	shattering stones in the um in the shop
7258s	like it was was you bought you bought a
7260s	sh St from the shop and it re
7261s	repopulated instantly you just keep
7262s	buying
7264s	them um just for Simplicity sake
7269s	and uh you're you're probably going to
7271s	be picking up way more stuff off the
7274s	ground all of a sudden um cuz your your
7277s	bar for what's how good does this item
7279s	need to be to pick up goes
7282s	down um and if it goes down if that bar
7285s	goes down too low you're picking up too
7286s	many things and you're uh burning time
7290s	doing um you know like important parts
7293s	of the game but
7297s	um things that aren't great to interrupt
7299s	the M like the primary gameplay activity
7303s	with just for the sake of interrupting
7305s	it
7307s	like yeah
7318s	uh having said that I I'm pretty sure we
7320s	like doubled the number of shattering
7322s	runes that get populated into shops
7324s	right now I I don't I don't know exactly
7326s	what happened with them but last time I
7327s	looked it were way higher on the on the
7329s	test builds and may maybe that I
7331s	shouldn't have said that because maybe
7333s	they're just high on the test builds for
7334s	test builds but I think they're going
7338s	up
7342s	you care for gril it's all right it's
7344s	pretty
7347s	cool oh we're at time I'm G to get I
7350s	I'll get to
7352s	town we're right there hello do you have
7356s	any plans to improve the interaction of
7358s	left click to attack um yeah there's I
7361s	think there's some bugs cuz i' I've been
7363s	seeing people
7366s	um uh giving some feedback on it and I'm
7368s	like that's not how it's set up to
7370s	work
7372s	um so there's there's something that's
7375s	not working in the system I think right
7376s	now it's supposed to at
7386s	least
7388s	so we plans to fix the bugs at
7395s	least yeah if if anyone we're we're just
7397s	about done here I'm just going to kill
7399s	this very slowly and get to town um and
7401s	we'll then we'll be packing up for the
7403s	day but if anyone does have any
7404s	suggestions or things they really want
7406s	to see in the game um or just questions
7408s	on things that uh maybe I didn't that
7411s	text is Tiny um maybe things that I
7415s	didn't answer fully or just missed uh we

96s	question when are we getting
100s	Le an Le Dev podcast with multiple devs
104s	um I mean we don't
106s	really I don't think we have any
107s	specific plans for something like that
109s	but it's a cool idea
111s	um I know we've had a few guest
114s	appearances on other uh podcasts which
117s	have been awesome this is this is kind
119s	of like our podcast here right is is
122s	this is the stream we just don't have
124s	enough time to to dedicate more than a
126s	couple people um like me and and the
129s	people who are um helping me put this
132s	together I should say that are putting
134s	this together that I'm presenting for um
139s	you know it's it's it's a lot of people
140s	to do a whole podcast
145s	regularly
146s	um try and keep the impact of this sort
149s	of thing small if we can
155s	yeah um but I do want to have more uh
158s	more guests on here or have other people
161s	join other podcasts and things like that
163s	more I think that' be really
165s	cool we've got a raining party coming in
168s	and a twitch Prime sub oh yeah we got
170s	lots of stuff happening uh promy promy
174s	for the win thank you very much and uh
178s	curs boy welcome everyone from their
179s	stream
181s	hope you all having
183s	fun the question here have there been
185s	any interactions that have made you say
188s	I'm so nerfing this if so what was that
191s	uh I mean yeah there's there's there's
192s	that's happened a few times
196s	um I and I I can't think of something
198s	specific off the top of my head I mean
200s	the original uh balers wrath Werebear in
203s	her action was like like the incident
206s	went up as people like started using it
209s	everyone's like the even the build
211s	guides were like at the start of it
212s	saying well this is going to get nerfed
214s	immediately so use it while you can type
216s	thing um you know sometimes it's just
219s	too
221s	much that that build's been nerfed like
223s	three times hard and it's still is
235s	popular Mike up up to the the main frame
238s	with those loading times I am playing on
241s	the completely live client I am really
245s	close to the server apparently cuz I
246s	have 24
250s	ping
252s	um yeah n it is exactly the same I'm I'm
257s	on nothing special this is experience as
261s	expected for players which is important
263s	I think that that were're not
265s	um like put me on sneaky stuff that's
269s	making it seem better than it is is or
270s	something like
275s	that and we've we've had our fair share
277s	of embarrassing bugs on
279s	stream doesn't happen that many times
281s	but every time it happens I feel
290s	terrible all right come
295s	on what are we doing where are we going
298s	putting points and stuff we need to kill
299s	stuff faster
301s	right
305s	um he just straight damage there I do
308s	like just having the melee
309s	physical the flat
313s	Fizz we might transition into hammeron
315s	later so I just love
326s	hammertons what else oh there was there
328s	was um there was a build that that came
330s	out where someone had
332s	like I don't know 100 200 rats or
335s	something or it was just like it was
336s	just too many rats and we're like
338s	we it was just so like the reason why
340s	they weren't getting more rates was
341s	because the game was just lagging so
343s	much that it was it was slowly down to
345s	the point where they couldn't summon
346s	them anymore uh
353s	yeah quick question before I go to sleep
355s	I'll do my best to answer are you
357s	planning on adding a character C
359s	customizing system
362s	um yes
364s	but uh not at 1.0 so we do want to
367s	include character customization to the
369s	game it's it's one of those things that
370s	people are sometimes very passionate
373s	about sort of a very oh my God or who
377s	cares type
379s	issue um and so we we we want to be able
383s	to uh deliver a good quality character
386s	customization system for people who it's
388s	super important for
391s	um trying I'm trying to get all three of
393s	them but it's just not working uh but we
396s	don't we don't have
398s	um we don't have the time to get it in
401s	for 1.0 uh or the like the the the
403s	development hours
410s	um so we we're we we hope to include it
413s	at some point um it's not a high
415s	priority feature for us uh when we do
418s	include it eventually
420s	um it'll be a pretty robust uh version
424s	it won't be anything as
427s	um uh in intense as like like balers
430s	Gate 3 I would say is an example of a
434s	extremely um detailed character
437s	customizer that we probably wouldn't go
439s	quite that hard
442s	um
443s	[Music]
445s	the and and this is what I say every
447s	week like even if I had customized my
449s	character like like the right now the
451s	only thing you'd be able to see you you
452s	can see a little bit of his hand
455s	here uh and you can see his like General
457s	body type shape like that's all you can
460s	see and a lot of people want us to have
462s	like a you can't see the helmet thing
463s	you can see his face but even so you're
464s	playing like this like what is his what
467s	does his face look like right now
470s	right so it's it's it's tough for us to
474s	prioritize something like that too high
476s	because there's such little impact in
478s	the moment moment gameplay for the the
480s	vast majority of people um having said
482s	that it is an incredibly important
484s	feature for certain people so we we and
486s	we want to deliver for them um stop him
489s	so it just comes down to priorities and
491s	timing and all that sort of
494s	stuff I think we're going down here for
496s	this no
505s	this I was considering the forge
508s	yeah do mov spe for
513s	now hello person hi you want to be
518s	friends be with
521s	you we could have been
524s	friends you feel lucky stay
528s	safe I totally picked the wrong one it
531s	doesn't really matter for this
533s	character oh
535s	well oh
538s	well
542s	when did the icon for shield rush
556s	change all right who bought into the
559s	Early
560s	Access um those are going to get some
562s	little gifts or something or is it a
564s	surprise I mean we've
566s	um
568s	like
570s	you your your account will start with
572s	stuff in here uh for being in Early
574s	Access so so yes it's you you've already
576s	got a bunch of stuff um people who were
579s	like really early there's other things
581s	that came with their bundles too so yeah
583s	like there's there's stuff that we've
585s	included for Early Access
596s	people and there might be other side too
598s	I don't know but there's at least
603s	that I don't think there's anything else
605s	planned I can be wrong though I just
608s	don't
614s	know
616s	[Music]
619s	gold all
622s	right uh with the corruption changes are
625s	you guys maybe looking at changing the
626s	mods themselves uh I and others seem to
630s	feel like they're a bit too generic and
631s	that would be more exciting for them to
633s	give different rewards with more
635s	mechanical downsides instead of just
636s	stuff like 30% damage 20% Rarity I know
639s	this is a big change so it's not
640s	something I expect at all for 1.0 um we
643s	we spend a lot of time trying to find uh
647s	mods that will work to go in the
648s	monolith and to add more uh I think
650s	we've got like two more coming down the
653s	pipe I know there's one there might be a
656s	second
657s	one the the number of specific ideas
661s	that get pitched
662s	internally uh compared to the number
664s	that actually make it through like that
666s	ratio is like 1% make it through of of
669s	of mods that are pitched and we we try
670s	and see if we can make them work there's
672s	a lot of reasons why they don't work um
675s	and there's probably a lot of things
676s	that you're thinking like well obviously
678s	you just said this and just like no
679s	can't do it um so it's it's it's
682s	definitely something we do try to um
685s	find good options for and if you've got
687s	specific ideas for it um
690s	we've got uh suggestions channels on
693s	Discord um our
696s	forums all sorts of places we look for
698s	it as
699s	well
701s	other
706s	yeah I think there's also a few in there
709s	that were um once you get into higher
712s	corruption they were because they were
714s	stealth scaling um they were becoming so
718s	dangerous as at high
720s	corruption that they were um sort of
723s	sort of being reported as impossible to
725s	do uh and oh you never take this type of
728s	uh of node in your your monolith so um
732s	they kind of felt like they didn't exist
733s	so the pool of
737s	possible uh options felt like it shrunk
739s	a bunch there because there was um there
742s	were some that were sort of like off
744s	limits if that makes any sense um I
748s	think this change will bring some of
750s	those back into the realm of like oh hey
752s	I can actually you know I can I can try
754s	that one if I want now and um I think
757s	that'll help with with some of the
758s	diversity concerns as
774s	well you know we're just going to move a
776s	little
777s	bit we have the techn
782s	techology uh next question are you
785s	personally more excited for warlock or
786s	Falconer I'm personally right now more
788s	excited for Falconer um and that's
791s	probably just cuz that's what I'm
792s	working on right now uh but yeah I think
794s	it's going to be
796s	awesome they're both they're both tons
798s	of
807s	fun damn it we just that
810s	deeps that we need this yeah there we go
813s	let's go to
815s	there I hate that that bridge shows up
817s	still so
818s	frustrating oh so
825s	frustrating uh do you plan on creating
827s	any loot filter tools or build planner
829s	auxiliary tools or going to stay on the
831s	community
833s	um it we don't have any that are planed
837s	to release with 1.0 um um if
841s	there's we initially started out um
844s	planning that we were going to make a
845s	bunch of these tools
848s	um and uh who's the first damn it and
852s	tonk those two guys just just beat us to
855s	the punch so
858s	handily
860s	um that we kind of looked at it and went
863s	I mean that's better than what we were
865s	making and if we stop we can save a ton
869s	of time and implement this other feature
871s	instead make the game better so we kind
873s	of put them on hold
876s	um I don't I don't know which ones will
878s	end up finding their way back or not
880s	that sort of stuff but
883s	um yeah it's it's there's there's not
886s	any sort of big tools that are planned
888s	for 1.0 and it's going to be something
889s	that's
892s	um changes as we go I
898s	guess
908s	we we we try to focus more on the stuff
911s	that's in in the engine just in general
913s	so like if we were going to make a um
916s	this is something we been wanting to do
917s	for a while now actually is is have the
919s	loot filter system um be able to have
924s	like a uh I guess like the import system
927s	have like a loot filter browser where
929s	people could like this is not in
931s	production this is sort of one of those
933s	things that I'm like one day I'll get it
934s	in there um to have a system where you
939s	could
943s	uh upload
946s	and
947s	um share your loot filters with other
950s	people and like uh like search for
953s	filters and like vote on like up vote
956s	like endorse other people's filters I
958s	guess that's a better way to put it cuz
958s	we want the downloading thing um
961s	probably for something like that uh and
964s	this is a big reason why this
965s	description field is even here it's sort
967s	of a a remnant of this idea that we
969s	would be able to do this because if
971s	you're making filters for yourself it's
972s	not like I don't know how many of you
974s	actually use this subcription field just
976s	for yourself um but if someone's like
978s	sharing a filter this description
979s	suddenly becomes useful and people who
980s	share filters on like our forums and
982s	things like that um I I see the this
984s	description field being used quite a bit
986s	but I can't say I've ever put anything
987s	in there myself for just like a personal
989s	filter so
996s	yeah right let's keep
999s	going blue filter is freaking out right
1002s	now I will say that you can't see the
1005s	chat but it is freaking
1010s	out let's
1014s	hide normal magic
1017s	items there we go I think it didn't like
1020s	that I put a zero rule filter
1026s	in oh no how will we survive stand down
1035s	or uh right do you think weapon related
1039s	passive tree nodes are a positive thing
1041s	absolutely
1043s	yes um but I have a feeling you don't
1046s	personally I find in Prim less they are
1048s	uh build restrictive and it's s though
1050s	they remove the ability to use Spears
1052s	and you miss the damage and attack speed
1054s	bonus the blade dancer one is well
1055s	designed IO as it gives bonuses for all
1058s	weapon types do you agree with my
1060s	analysis bad wall um
1065s	I agree that it has those effects um I
1070s	don't agree that that's necessarily a
1072s	bad
1076s	thing um
1080s	I think if
1081s	it I think a a having differences
1084s	between different classes so like having
1086s	um some nodes
1087s	be uh like the styles of nodes being one
1090s	way in one class and a different way in
1091s	another class is is a very positive
1093s	thing I think having um certain types of
1097s	weapons be uh generally easier to use on
1102s	um
1104s	different different classes is a
1106s	positive thing like I think um like if
1109s	you can if you can thematically link
1110s	specific weapons to specific classes
1113s	easier um I think that's a really good
1115s	thing I I don't think it should be
1116s	impossible to build outside like like
1119s	you should be able to color outside the
1120s	lines and I think you can but um P
1124s	pushing those like uh those those class
1126s	fantasies and those um those those
1130s	specific thematically appropriate
1132s	interactions out is is is a good thing
1135s	it's important um and then having ways
1139s	where people
1140s	can uh divert from those expectations
1144s	and and those obvious things it's really
1146s	good too like uh I really something I
1148s	really love to do in D 2 was make a a
1150s	melee sorc or a a bow sorc you know a
1153s	crossbow sorc and um it w very good it
1157s	wasn't a ton of uh possibilities to
1160s	actually do it all that sort of stuff
1161s	but
1163s	um you know it worked decently well and
1166s	we've kind of Che you can't doesn't it's
1168s	not off the path in this game cuz we've
1170s	just added that as one of the main
1171s	masteries but you know like that type of
1174s	thing is good and we do like to sort
1177s	of
1181s	um inject little ways for people to be
1183s	able
1184s	to uh take like to explore and
1188s	experiment things that might not be
1189s	quite so super obvious um but if there's
1193s	just like if there's a dagger node on
1197s	Sentinel um there's there's and a
1200s	two-handed weapon node on Rogue it
1204s	it's it makes finding those like off the
1208s	beaten path builds a little less a
1210s	little more on the beaten path if that
1212s	makes any
1213s	sense
1227s	um
1233s	uh do you have a dedicated server or
1235s	something why you loading time so crazy
1237s	fast I do not have a well technically
1239s	yes I have a dedicated server um
1241s	everyone who's playing on their own has
1243s	a dedicated server so
1251s	yes that's just that's just how
1253s	multiplayer works
1257s	though
1275s	I did recently you say you made me a new
1277s	SSD I did recently get a uh new SSD that
1280s	I love cuz it's so
1285s	fast but actually this isn't even
1287s	installed on it so doesn't
1290s	matter it's basically just
1293s	uh the the my my OS and my Dev client my
1298s	my Unity um install and and our game
1302s	builds are all in there like for the
1304s	development processes just so I can work
1307s	faster this is actually installed on an
1309s	old
1312s	SSD I mean two years old so not that old
1317s	anyways bow acolyte win yeah
1320s	like right now it doesn't work at all uh
1323s	I'd love to see uh bow options on other
1327s	classes but not be heavily supported
1329s	that sounds weird like um and see that's
1332s	the thing like you get you get this um
1335s	idea where you're like oh I'll stand
1336s	behind my giant horde of minions and use
1338s	my crossbow and mow people down it's
1340s	like yeah that's awesome right um and
1342s	you can't do it yet but I I'd love to
1345s	see
1347s	it
1358s	hey
1359s	buddy looks like you got an infestation
1374s	here
1377s	handle
1381s	uh you mentioned before that we'd
1382s	eventually get more item factions than
1384s	just two announ that's not what I said
1387s	sorry just to be clear what I said was
1388s	that we there' be more
1390s	factions um not specifically item
1394s	factions so there'll be more more
1396s	factions um than just the two for 1.0 is
1399s	it a long-term thing or is something you
1400s	guys add semic consistently with Cycles
1402s	uh plan dead this is
1405s	um I don't know what the next set of
1408s	factions are going to be yet I do
1412s	know uh that it won't be
1414s	1.1 I'll say that it's not going to be
1417s	1.1 lead the next factions at all
1422s	yeah CU they take quite a while to do we
1424s	want to make sure these are we have a
1426s	chance to um see how the the the first
1428s	factions work in the item faction see
1430s	how they work
1432s	um because like we're we're testing them
1434s	with our CT program like we've been
1436s	testing them internally CT program all
1437s	sort of stuff and it's been we' getting
1438s	tons of great feedback we're making
1439s	changes already on it but
1443s	um like it's it's it's not the same as
1447s	as getting like thousands of people in
1450s	there simultaneously you
1452s	know um so we've still got
1455s	a um I guess have some time to digest of
1459s	the feedback that we get from it from a
1461s	larger scale and
1465s	uh can I not take that I cannot take
1484s	that all right all right all right hey
1488s	what does this mean for tempest strike
1489s	as of 1.0 Tempest strike will instead be
1491s	a powerful high cost combo ability um
1495s	well I I don't mean to be a jerk about
1498s	it but it means that Tempest strike will
1502s	be a powerful high cost combo
1505s	ability um so like right now Tempa
1509s	strike is um is is like it's a spamable
1513s	ability like like Vengeance right here
1515s	so like you attack and it's fairly
1519s	slow um not fairly slow but like fairly
1522s	fast like so we we generally have two
1524s	main classes of um melee abilities so
1528s	this is like spam Vol zero cost um it
1531s	quite often gets used as there's there's
1533s	nodes often in the tree that are
1535s	generator nodes to help you with um
1538s	doing things in between larger attacks
1541s	uh sometimes they'll have nodes that let
1542s	you increase their Mana cost so that it
1546s	is a um that that you can use it more
1550s	like your primary damage Source
1554s	um I
1557s	see and and and so yeah that's that's
1559s	things like we're this Vengeance that's
1563s	R um that's
1565s	multistrike
1568s	uh that's basically it um but whereas on
1571s	the flip side of that there's like
1572s	heavier hitting higher Mana cost
1574s	sometimes have cooldowns abilities like
1576s	for example Forge strike or erasing
1578s	strike um smelter wrath
1583s	or we good examples void cleave yeah
1586s	void cleave gets in there uh um you know
1589s	things things that you're more like
1593s	um a little bit beefier a little bit
1595s	stronger a little bit heavier you're
1596s	you're investing maybe maybe it's the
1598s	center Center piece of more builds
1601s	hopefully that sort of
1604s	thing
1606s	um so yeah we're we're we're taking
1608s	Tempest strike we're moving it from the
1609s	former category more into the latter
1611s	category so it's going to fit um I I
1614s	unfortunately not on a primel less
1616s	character so I can't really show you
1617s	things that'll fit with but it's like
1618s	like instead of being more comparable to
1619s	swipe it'll be more comparable to um
1622s	earthquake you
1625s	know not quite that far but on like
1629s	we're moving in that
1639s	direction um and combo ability so uh
1642s	combo ability is uh for example Rive is
1645s	a combo ability um seem a little dis he
1648s	might be kind enough to show you how to
1650s	tap there's like like where
1653s	you survive is if you use one ability
1656s	it's like a slash and then it's a slash
1658s	and then it's a spin slash it's a
1661s	three-piece combo ability um so Tempest
1663s	strike will be a combo ability like that
1665s	where the first attack will do one thing
1666s	second attack will do something else and
1668s	the third attack will do something else
1669s	entirely I don't know I didn't actually
1670s	read that section of the post today so
1672s	I'm not entirely certain um okay what do
1676s	we pick here how do we do a poll someone
1679s	tell me what I I want I want people to
1681s	tell me what to pick I guide the shades
1684s	how do we how do we do a
1706s	poll
1710s	[Music]
1711s	how do
1717s	things oh someone someone made the
1719s	Pole thank you I assume it was Kane or
1722s	whoever it was though if it's not thank
1723s	you very
1726s	much yeah let's see what I should make
1728s	tell me what I should
1735s	pick neck and neck hold up just just run
1737s	a minute or so um I will thank you so
1741s	much Kan appreciate it uh I I'll put
1743s	I'll put up a little teaser in the
1744s	meantime here's here's a little um a
1747s	little
1753s	tidbit was I talking about a question
1755s	did I just like abandon it completely I
1756s	think I finished the temp stri one okay
1758s	here's a little um I know it's going to
1760s	cover the screen which is unfortunate
1761s	but people can people know generally
1762s	what it is here's a little preview of
1764s	something we've been promising for a
1766s	long time now and it's finally Happ
1768s	happening um this won't be available
1771s	until 1.0 goes live um but we are in
1775s	including a full
1777s	proper offline offline offline mode um
1782s	and here's what it will look like and
1783s	how you pick that um when you launch the
1786s	game from Steam you'll be able to select
1788s	if you want to play an online or offline
1789s	mode you can tell to remember your your
1791s	selection so you know to tell it every
1792s	single time uh you can change that
1794s	selection even if you told it to
1796s	remember it yeah so it's um it's
1800s	happening we're doing full proper
1801s	offline mode like we said we would uh
1806s	yeah not much else to say about
1810s	that it's pretty
1813s	cool great job the people that got that
1815s	in it was not
1821s	me this poll's taking a
1824s	while I don't think we're getting many
1826s	more votes I'm just gonna end the bll
1828s	now we're doing Forge
1836s	guard well done everybody you are still
1840s	you that strength will be necessary
1843s	thank you for our
1851s	helping and we got a Bonus play time
1853s	with me having something on my screen
1854s	that I forgot so there's that
1856s	too
1859s	we're not we're not even up there
1862s	yet one
1867s	more let's let's add Forge strike to our
1870s	build
1871s	right just slap for strike on there why
1875s	I thank you there is an old passage to
1880s	the surface Gods be with you I will
1882s	every time I see this guy
1884s	stretching like I I don't know what that
1886s	is the timing but I see him stretching
1887s	as I walk up and I'm like oh he's stuck
1889s	in toos oh
1891s	no it's just him
1895s	stretching there it
1899s	is I love
1903s	it do not dwell on regret May upon
1909s	you
1911s	well thank you that's so
1916s	nice
1919s	come on come come on come come on come
1923s	on all right do you have anyone working
1925s	on tutorials and in-game guides yes we
1927s	do uh as as well as do you plan on
1930s	setting out some sort of uh expectation
1932s	for difficulty for corruption level like
1935s	how uh area levels are means Arena
1940s	levels I
1942s	think uh argu for how fast you
1944s	progressing clearing XC corruption with
1946s	no legendary
1949s	power etc for people who have rough
1952s	estimate of the success of their build
1954s	without jumping to a new one um I think
1956s	that's sort of like that that that
1958s	benchmarking is something that's going
1959s	to be Community defined we've we've put
1961s	out things before where we've said like
1964s	oh we expect it to be roughly this or
1966s	that is he down there yet he's later um
1969s	we've expected to be like roughly some
1970s	like 300 corruption or this or that like
1973s	and
1974s	it's it frequently gets
1980s	um like different benchmarks are set by
1983s	the community and this is something that
1984s	we
1987s	um that having such a high variance and
1992s	difficulty from corruption has been a
1994s	major problem for us and part of the
1995s	reason we're making these changes to
1996s	corruption is that it's so hard to say
2000s	um we expect most players to be able to
2001s	do XC corruption after playing for so
2003s	long uh as a new player and we expect
2006s	people to do uh like 1.5x corruption as
2009s	an experienced arpg player and we expect
2011s	people to do 2x corruption as an
2013s	experienced Le player you know
2015s	within a month of the the patch going
2018s	live or something like that you know
2019s	like like all all these things these
2020s	expectations we have um are are were so
2024s	hard to tie that those numbers to
2026s	corruption because corruption was such a
2028s	variable thing where you could say like
2029s	hey this 300 corruption Echo is harder
2032s	than this 1200 corruption echo which
2035s	which was not great
2039s	um so we're trying to fix that as one of
2040s	the main things and then I I expect
2041s	there'll be a bit of a
2045s	um uh like Community expectations for
2049s	how good things are and what content you
2050s	can complete and that sort of stuff is
2052s	is going to sort of generate itself
2056s	um we'll still have a similar
2059s	expectation I think um in and around
2062s	that 300 corruption
2064s	Mark um for the most part but
2068s	you know
2069s	it's it's less about what number
2071s	corruption it is and more about like um
2075s	what sort of time and effort investment
2078s	and skill requirement like player skill
2079s	requirement is needed for those sorts of
2081s	things oh my God I have so much more
2083s	Mana that I could be using and Forge
2086s	strike there we
2089s	go he's way
2091s	better just come
2095s	on yeah
2101s	um oh thank you very much someone what
2103s	do we got here odm 49 Is Res up for six
2106s	months in a row hello hello hello thanks
2109s	very much for joining us hope you're
2111s	having
2112s	fun
2116s	um
2126s	yeah
2137s	what are we doing we're having
2138s	fun we are answering
2141s	questions will there ever be South
2144s	African servers maybe um we don't have
2147s	any plans to include South African
2148s	servers at 1.0 I know that
2155s	um there's like like there's there's
2157s	there's places that it's really easy to
2159s	say okay well obviously put us over here
2160s	because there's there's like the number
2162s	of people and you know the distance to
2164s	other nearby areas like you know all
2166s	sort stuff it's it's really easy to to
2168s	justify servers in certain locations and
2170s	um balancing server costs is a very
2173s	important part of keeping this game um
2176s	happy healthy and successful uh and keep
2179s	updates flowing all sort of stuff so um
2182s	I don't have anywhere near enough
2184s	insight and information into that
2186s	calculation to decide if it's worth it
2188s	for us or not to put them there um I
2190s	mean like if we could we'd put a server
2192s	in everyone's
2193s	backyard um we
2208s	can't yeah there we
2210s	go so I I I hope I hope we can include
2213s	one cuz I know there's like a fairly
2215s	significant number of requests that we
2217s	get for South African servers um I think
2219s	it's pretty rare that games do that but
2224s	um yeah I don't have uh I don't have a
2227s	hard yes or no to give you right now I'm
2231s	sorry just in case we use one of
2236s	those involv World dashing is always
2245s	important a little op poop
2251s	button hi hello hi Mike hi Aaron how's
2254s	it going how refreshed will the shaman
2256s	passive tree be more nodes buff nodes
2259s	little refresh complete rework thank you
2261s	um I I would I
2265s	would it's not done yet so I don't know
2268s	I would expect
2270s	to um see more returning nodes than new
2276s	nodes
2278s	I would expect to still be like if
2279s	you're familiar with it now you'll still
2281s	be generally familiar with it afterwards
2282s	would be my expectation
2288s	um I'm sure there'll be like a good
2291s	chunk of of of new things to Breathe new
2293s	life into it and all that sort of stuff
2294s	but it won't be like let's read every
2296s	single node from scratch and see what
2298s	every single node does cuz everything's
2300s	brand new that's not that's not
2306s	happening
2307s	uh do you think necro could ever get
2311s	skeleton bees uh I mean I I hate saying
2314s	no to ever questions but uh I I'd say
2320s	unlikely zombies yeah that's way
2324s	better didn't that happen wasn't there
2326s	like a news article that that claimed
2328s	that it like wasn't actually but it was
2330s	Sensational enough that went viral for a
2332s	little
2336s	while falcon or beast Synergy the birds
2338s	of the Beast
2342s	bista I have heard every single one of
2344s	those puns so many times um only because
2348s	they're
2351s	fantastic just to be clear and I love
2353s	them but
2356s	uh I I I would
2359s	not go into Falconer expecting
2363s	significant be
2365s	energy
2370s	we try and make bees sort of a like fun
2372s	accessible kind of Mimi thing that you
2374s	can you can make work if you want um but
2377s	we rarely try and say hey like what's
2379s	the bu build here and like oh let's make
2382s	sure there enough B Synergy to make the
2383s	B build work we we don't we don't do
2395s	that
2400s	come on get
2402s	in all
2408s	right uh Play Iron blade Vengeance I I
2411s	don't like iron blade Vengeance right
2412s	now I got Nerf too
2414s	hard yeah suffer so he gives it bses for
2417s	the
2418s	[Laughter]
2420s	best oh I know it's not strong super
2423s	strong right
2425s	now may be a silly question but will
2427s	full offline characters benefit from ssf
2429s	item faction thingy so I just want to be
2431s	clear cuz every time this comes up I got
2433s	to mention it there is no ssf item
2436s	faction we have uh two item factions one
2439s	of which is a um Merchant skill which is
2442s	focused on trading and one is just
2443s	circle of Fortune which is focused
2445s	around um not trading uh but you can
2449s	still party and play with each other um
2452s	so it's not it's it's like I'll give you
2453s	I'll give you that it's the SF faction
2456s	now but of the ssf action cuz it's
2458s	around finding items yourself but not
2460s	playing by yourself um doesn't mean you
2463s	can't play by yourself you can play by
2464s	yourself with either of them
2467s	um so yeah it's it's yeah that just just
2471s	want to be clear on that because I quite
2472s	often see like oh it's the ssf one so I
2474s	think people think I think there's this
2476s	um I've seen several people have the
2478s	misconception where they'll be like on a
2479s	forum and they'll be like um what if I
2482s	like playing with people but I want to
2483s	use the ssf item faction I'm
2485s	like
2487s	go ahead because it's not as it say so I
2489s	I got I got to shut that out every time
2491s	it happens but yeah um yes you'll be
2494s	able to have full access to the circle
2496s	of Fortune in offline
2499s	mode I don't even know if you'll have
2501s	access to Merchant skill in offline mode
2502s	or
2507s	not I know I know it gets suggested as
2509s	like a secret hard mode thing and we're
2511s	doing something else for hard mode
2512s	masacus mode if people are remember
2515s	that
2519s	but not masochist mode something
2521s	different
2527s	yeah you don't forget if you have a
2529s	question please put at last Depot game
2532s	in front of the question or just
2533s	anywhere in the post so I see it pops
2534s	out of me and I know that I'm supposed
2536s	to answer it otherwise I will gloss over
2539s	it
2540s	as you may be enjoying a conversation
2543s	with
2545s	yourselves each other that's the word
2547s	I'm looking for so good at speaking
2550s	nailed it hi
2552s	Spike hi
2554s	everyone ah it's funny re I said that I
2557s	got to a question reminding me of this
2559s	um will there be online only content not
2562s	available for offline players like d D2
2564s	pandemonia event um which is only on
2569s	star star
2570s	star that's what star star is um the we
2574s	don't have anything um
2577s	Define
2579s	[Laughter]
2580s	content it's it's funny this the
2582s	definition of content when it's um
2585s	positive to use it for this it gets
2587s	included and when it's negative to use
2588s	it for this it doesn't or vice versa
2590s	depending on how you want to look at it
2592s	um the the Cosmetic System right now
2595s	doesn't work
2596s	offline
2598s	um so if if you consider Cosmetics
2602s	content then yes there will be some
2604s	content online
2605s	only
2607s	um if you don't consider Cosmetics
2608s	content then no there won't
2613s	be at least right now anyways we don't
2615s	plan to um I don't want to lock that
2617s	door
2632s	forever um yeah like i' I'd i' i' really
2636s	like to include um boss
2640s	mechanics that have uh unique Unique
2643s	Mechanics for bosses in online in
2646s	multiplayer mode so like um the example
2649s	I usually use for this is Diablo 2's um
2652s	Diablo the like the bone prison that
2655s	like like grabs you and holds you in
2657s	place fantastic mechanic in in
2659s	multiplayer oh my God it sucks in single
2664s	player um
2667s	you know so I think there's there's a
2668s	lot of room for boss fight mechanics
2670s	that are interesting in multiplayer that
2672s	uh don't fly in single player
2679s	um we don't have anything like that at
2681s	the moment but i' I'd like to explore
2684s	that that's that's interesting design
2686s	space to me who knows if it would work
2689s	or
2695s	not
2704s	uh how many more uniques can we expected
2706s	with 1.0 and what sort of rate will new
2708s	ones are expected um I do not know
2711s	specifically how many more uniques will
2712s	come with 1.0 um a lot of the times we
2716s	add uniques fairly late in the
2717s	development cycle so we'll still be
2719s	adding uh uniques for the next couple
2722s	months probably and
2725s	um who it kind of depends how how long
2728s	each one of those takes how fast we get
2729s	through them you know all that sort of
2730s	stuff will determine how many we add um
2733s	I would expect a roughly similar number
2735s	of new
2736s	uniques um to get added oh yeah we want
2740s	that I would expect a roughly similar
2742s	number of new uniques to get added as
2744s	have happened in previous major patches
2746s	um and we'll continue to add a roughly
2749s	similar number of new uniques in
2750s	followup major patches um W what what's
2754s	that number you ask I don't know off the
2755s	top of my head
2758s	it's it's it's a pretty good chunk
2766s	usually we do add uh new unique specific
2770s	so so every every Mastery does get um we
2773s	usually try whenever we add a new skill
2775s	we usually try and add at least one new
2776s	unique that kind of goes with that skill
2778s	nicely doesn't always necessarily need
2780s	to have reference to that skills name
2781s	specifically on it but something that
2783s	just fits well with it at least and um
2787s	so there's like warlock has a bunch of
2790s	new uniques coming that will be they'll
2792s	synergize with their new skills um and
2794s	Falconer has a bunch of new uniques
2795s	coming the little centers with it skills
2797s	and you know like there's other new
2799s	uniques that have no skill um specific
2803s	skill intentions um and there's you
2806s	know other uniques that do have specific
2808s	skill intentions for skills other than
2810s	those coming on Warlock and Falconer you
2812s	know all the sort of stuff so
2815s	um
2817s	they'll be there'll be a a significant
2819s	set of new uniques um to explore and
2822s	play with have
2825s	fun I like any thoughts on what kind of
2828s	Forge guard build you will be playing
2829s	not really yet um I love hammerin in all
2835s	sorts of things so I know it's the D
2838s	part is we've we've passed that a hambur
2841s	guard
2843s	um who knows but uh yeah could be fun
2846s	there um I do really like the like
2850s	Captain America style uh Shield Ricochet
2855s	builds maybe we'll do one of
2859s	those that sounds like
2866s	fun I'm I'm just going super cash here
2871s	like I'm I'm channeling my my inner my
2876s	inner first time player I'm channeling
2878s	channeling my inner
2879s	Boomer yes my inner Boomer
2888s	um just just playing relaxing I'm here
2891s	to hang out with you all instead of and
2893s	just and just enjoy the game instead of
2894s	really rushing
2899s	through great job the new Traer thanks
2901s	to all of uh all of you for all your
2904s	hard work thank you they um I I I I
2908s	didn't see the trailer until like 3 days
2911s	ago four days ago one or two days before
2914s	the trailer went live we we got to see
2916s	it it was so Hush Hush secret even
2918s	internally like um it got posted
2922s	internally and there was a bunch of
2923s	people that didn't even know we were
2924s	making one they just like wait we
2928s	what um so that that was pretty funny
2931s	and uh yeah there's it yeah it was it
2936s	was so great to see I'm so excited to
2938s	have like uh just more visual
2941s	storytelling in the game and um like
2944s	more ways that people can like interact
2946s	with and and and absorb the storyline
2948s	and get involved with the world and
2950s	things like that without um without
2953s	going in depth on like reading Lord
2954s	journals which is something that like a
2957s	lot of people love to do and like you
2960s	get into it it's super cool like I've
2962s	I've spent way too much time just
2964s	reading reading like the Lord chunks on
2966s	area Summit um yeah it's just so much
2972s	fun but yeah they'll uh they did a great
2976s	job so I'm glad you enjoyed it the Beast
2979s	Master yeah it's good one I like
2986s	itwell let's get in this
2989s	way uh this is my mandatory what's
2992s	happening with heing hands question of
2994s	the week um
2998s	at launch all skills will have a skill
3002s	tree
3004s	um Healing Hands we did our ideation
3009s	session for its skill tree a couple
3011s	weeks
3012s	ago
3016s	um I haven't
3019s	seen uh the specific task to set up the
3023s	mutator in game yet um someone else
3025s	might have gotten it though
3035s	currently it still is the Way It Is
3038s	Alive the CTS do have a build out right
3041s	now and their build does not have a
3042s	specialized bu Healing Hands
3046s	yet hi when you think of a balance
3050s	patch uh like maybe for the Run
3054s	master
3057s	hi when you think of a balanced patch
3059s	like maybe for the Rune
3061s	Master will you hit him hard or will you
3063s	help the other classes a little
3066s	more um I yeah okay I I see what you're
3068s	asking um when
3073s	we're um when we're balancing the game
3077s	in general we we there's not really a
3080s	blanket like only Buffs or only Nerfs
3083s	answer to this question um
3087s	we kind of have to look at every
3088s	specific situation decide uh what's
3090s	going to be the best option for that
3094s	balance requirement that needs to happen
3097s	um and try and be as surgical as
3099s	possible with it so um if there's if
3102s	there's a let's let's say there's a
3104s	flame Rush build that's so crazy
3107s	overpowered everyone's just like wreck
3110s	and face with it
3112s	um uh but then there's also like a bunch
3115s	of of um people using flame Rush that's
3119s	like just fun and really healthy for the
3122s	skill and all sort of stuff we're not
3124s	when we if we if we if we're if the
3126s	approach we're taking is to Nerf that
3128s	build we're going to take some approach
3130s	that targets specifically the
3132s	interaction causing that build to go
3133s	nuts uh so it has as little impact if
3136s	any on people that are not taking
3138s	advantage of that interaction um or
3141s	attain that avenge that interaction in a
3142s	less extreme way or add in a different
3145s	interaction to take its place that might
3146s	not scale quite as Bonkers out of
3149s	control um but still be fun and exciting
3151s	interesting
3154s	powerful
3156s	um the example I usually give is that if
3158s	some if like one build is sticking out
3161s	at you know like if if 100% is the
3163s	average power level of most builds um
3167s	and there's a build that that sticks out
3170s	to like 200% power um and then there's
3173s	another set of builds that are all at
3174s	130% power power um and we nerfed that
3177s	200% power one down to like 135% great
3180s	it's still the best build in the game
3181s	but like that was a massive Nerf and
3183s	it's still the best build in the game
3187s	um that that still gets reported on as a
3191s	devastatingly terrible thing we've
3193s	done even even if it's still the clear
3195s	best build in the game so it's difficult
3198s	to Nerf things um but we will and
3204s	have
3211s	it's it's difficult to uh Nerf things
3214s	and have people enjoy the
3216s	Nerfs we do our best to do that I it
3219s	sounds
3225s	ridiculous
3231s	crit I I love how a
3234s	like dude without a bottom is a symbol
3237s	of
3243s	hope uh where we going here damage I
3247s	wish this was better in
3250s	here do fry FR is always
3256s	good uh we
3262s	back uh what do you think path uh what
3265s	do you think of Path of Exile given it a
3267s	fair amount of hours in your days yeah
3269s	so I for
3272s	like super super short version I think
3275s	path of Exel is a fantastic game
3279s	um I I think path of well path of Exel
3282s	done for the genre of RPGs as a whole is
3285s	incredible
3287s	and um I I don't know if we
3291s	would uh be where we are today without
3293s	Path of Exile existing
3297s	um and like the all the interactions
3300s	we've had with the people that work on
3302s	Path of Exile have been so fantastic too
3304s	they they've been just great um getting
3307s	getting to meet them like I I got to
3308s	meet them for the first time myself in
3310s	uh Gamescom in Germany recently and that
3312s	was so cool um if any of you are
3316s	watching I to blast hope I see you
3319s	again um don't think so but you know
3321s	worth a
3324s	shot yeah that that was getting to meet
3327s	them was one of the highlights of my
3328s	trip for sure just meeting people in
3329s	general was the highlight of my trip
3332s	um yeah I think uh we we we do try we
3336s	try to um sort of carve out our own
3338s	niche in the in the genre a little bit
3341s	um and with Path of Exile and Diablo
3343s	being such a huge part of that
3346s	um of that genre it's it's um difficult
3350s	to find a space that that where you can
3352s	stand out and be unique in that space
3354s	But like um um we do our best I think
3357s	we're doing a pretty good job with
3365s	that but yeah if if um I don't know if
3370s	like two years from
3372s	now um the like the go-to pattern was
3377s	just like uh oh you you spend you spend
3381s	a couple months playing Poe and you
3382s	spend a couple months playing Le and you
3384s	just got to bounce between our patches
3386s	oh my God I would love
3388s	that that' be so great are you kidding
3391s	me oh love
3397s	it I should probably like start picking
3400s	stuff up instead of just being like yeah
3401s	this level four it's great I it's
3403s	actually not bad
3410s	but that didn't help
3414s	much
3418s	oh excuse
3438s	me just like just throwing chaoses at
3442s	this
3444s	thing
3448s	we actually have a surprising amount of
3449s	minions with Forge strike
3452s	there call damage get out of here with
3461s	that actually let's uh at least slap
3464s	something up
3474s	here
3483s	just just just get our our stuff up just
3485s	a little a little bit
3488s	better
3493s	yeah that's not
3500s	terrible there we go that should be
3502s	little little
3504s	bump
3508s	little
3510s	bump we should find a better amulet I
3512s	think that's that's really hurting right
3521s	now all right back to
3526s	questions oh also Poe I I played Poe and
3529s	like I remember playing pee beta the
3531s	first time I I I I heard about Poe I was
3533s	in I was living on this like little
3535s	basement Suite um I remember I remember
3539s	exactly it was my my my buddy uh came in
3542s	my roommate uh was in the room next door
3544s	came in and he was like uh I was playing
3547s	Diablo
3548s	I um and he he came rushing in oh that
3551s	was dumb uh he's like Mike Mike Mike you
3554s	got to check this out you got to check
3555s	this out um and it was it was the pee
3557s	beta and it was like I feel like there
3561s	was you need to like to apply to get in
3562s	or something um I like I applied uh I
3566s	didn't get in right away or something I
3568s	what it was uh I was playing on his
3570s	account on his computer when he was like
3572s	outworking
3574s	um yeah it was it was it was a ton of
3577s	fun and I remember being just like it's
3579s	D
3580s	2.5 I'm I'm
3591s	ready that was uh also funny because he
3595s	he had his username for his computer I'm
3597s	not going to say what it was but his
3598s	username for his computer um he just
3600s	like put a name in of like just a random
3603s	name that he just typed in he's like ah
3604s	it's a name whatever just made up a name
3606s	and the name he made up first and last
3608s	name was the exact first and last name
3610s	of one of my other friends that he
3611s	didn't know um and I thought like I sat
3614s	down his computer I can't remembering
3616s	this but I sat down his computer to play
3617s	and I saw the the username you can't
3618s	username and I'm like oh you know him
3620s	too it's like no who I that's me I made
3623s	that up what
3627s	and yeah cuz the time we live in small
3628s	that happens where you two people just
3630s	happen to know the same person that
3631s	happens all the time but yeah it was
3632s	just a
3634s	coincidence I that was
3640s	funny uh all
3644s	right some more questions up in
3647s	here will there be any updates for the
3649s	Necromancer minions in the skill trees
3652s	we have better info of what they do um
3654s	some of the Abomination tool tips don't
3655s	really tell me much of
3656s	anything um there there might be some
3659s	things like uh if there were bug fixes
3661s	or specific nodes we targeted or things
3663s	like that possibly um I I know there's
3666s	not a large set of
3670s	um there there's there's not a large set
3672s	of changes for Abomination I know
3683s	that uh
3685s	hi Mike are you guys satisfied with how
3688s	Ward is being used currently
3689s	specifically for Rogues seems like all
3691s	the top builds use low life setup
3693s	especially since the experimental glove
3695s	missing HP to W attics got added on HP
3698s	necklace got nerfed um I think that
3701s	there's a little
3703s	too um it's it's not far off it's not
3706s	far off I think there's too much there's
3709s	a little a little too much investment
3710s	into it um on builds that are less
3713s	naturally suited to it I
3715s	think for for our hopes um we don't want
3719s	we don't want to say like oh only uh
3721s	Mages and acolytes can use
3723s	Ward we don't we don't want to do that
3725s	um but we do really want to give Mages
3729s	and acolytes uh an easier time to access
3733s	Ward and um
3735s	have um have have that be like the
3738s	primary just like oh you're making a
3739s	mage or an acolyte yeah like you're
3741s	going to you're going to have some W
3742s	investment oh you're you're making a
3744s	rogue or a sentinel or or a prim list
3746s	you're probably not going to have W
3748s	investment
3749s	um but with with space for people to
3752s	divert from that and experiment if they
3754s	want and still be successful if they
3755s	find um like a a fun way to do that and
3759s	and maybe less Universal and a little
3761s	more nature would be would be
3770s	ideal uh I like the Nerf to
3773s	135%
3775s	discussion when that
3778s	happens what slash where will you
3780s	describe that to the
3782s	community
3785s	what oh you like the Nerf to 135%
3788s	discussion oh me that was a number that
3789s	I said just now just of of like as an
3791s	example yeah for for for the record
3794s	those numbers were me trying to use
3796s	numbers to illustrate a point to give
3797s	examples um so just to get a better
3799s	sense of it for people not um specific
3802s	hard fast rules that we use just I hope
3805s	that was that was clear uh if not I
3807s	apologize but
3809s	um yeah it's more meant as a like
3814s	um I don't put in the slot this might
3818s	way to heal ourselves if we have
3821s	to
3825s	um yeah it's it's it's not a like there
3828s	there's no document written down on like
3830s	how to Nerf something like that you know
3833s	um every time we we do
3836s	uh like a major rebalancing we look at
3839s	that uh at that situation um in context
3843s	of the of the game as a whole and
3844s	specifically in that
3859s	situation I remember asking this a long
3861s	time ago and at the time you guys had no
3863s	plans but have you guys considered
3864s	having uh scale versions of item bases
3867s	to bring low level ones up to power with
3868s	higher level uh higher level ones at
3871s	high levels like a Ruby Ruby amulet or a
3875s	jade ring is practically never good
3877s	because of
3879s	the uh good base in endgame because
3881s	they're meager numbers
3885s	um jewelry is a little bit of a unique
3887s	situation where um I I'd say it's it's
3892s	if if we were to do it anywhere it would
3894s	be more likely to be done with jewelry
3896s	than anywhere else um but no we we
3901s	um it wouldn't be
3904s	a it it probably wouldn't be a um like a
3909s	a buffed version of it it would just be
3911s	like a
3912s	different a different B I mean it would
3915s	look like that probably but if we were
3916s	going to do that it would be a different
3917s	base of the same type um which would be
3921s	the same as just like adding roll ranges
3922s	to the
3923s	implicits
3933s	um but yeah nothing's it's nothing's
3939s	changed all right are you changing SL
3942s	improving QA approach with 1.0 Marx was
3944s	pretty much broken at one point uh I
3946s	assume due to Falcon or work
3950s	um no uh well uh the the assumption
3954s	there is wrong
3958s	um we our QA approach is constantly
3961s	evolving for sure uh one of the big
3964s	things that 1.0 has over the
3968s	last several dozen patches every P the
3972s	big thing 1.0 has over every single
3973s	patch before it uh is the the content
3977s	lock will be an order of magnitude of
3979s	time longer than uh than ever before um
3984s	so we'll have a lot longer to
3988s	test in
3990s	um in previous patches like I've I've
3993s	been I'm I'm I'm one of the worst
3995s	culprits for this but i' I've been like
3997s	week before patch being like here's
3999s	here's a new major feature let's go we
4001s	got to get this in um and like it was I
4004s	shouldn't have been doing that it was a
4005s	terrible idea
4006s	so you know um
4010s	but our uh our our our primary like
4013s	major content is is coming up pretty
4015s	close
4022s	actually and there still things that'll
4024s	be put in afterwards but
4026s	like there's going to be a lot more time
4028s	to balance and test and bug fix for um
4034s	for this patch so it's less
4035s	about um QA and more just
4043s	scheduling
4049s	like we already have we already we
4051s	already have uh our CT build so um for
4053s	those of you that don't know we do have
4054s	a community testing program where people
4056s	who are um not on payroll have the
4060s	opportunity to access um patch content
4063s	early and um give us feedback on it and
4068s	um like just just just an outside
4070s	perspective that's able to say like um
4074s	because sometimes you you're working on
4075s	something for six months and you're
4077s	really close to it and um there's like
4080s	quirks that it has that you're just so
4082s	used to at some point that they that
4085s	they they don't even register in your
4086s	brain as a thing anymore um oh my God
4089s	that's
4091s	frustrating
4092s	and uh
4094s	it's it's really important to get that
4096s	outside perspective and and just having
4098s	someone that's completely that hasn't
4100s	seen anything about it is is really
4103s	important
4106s	um so that's already up and running
4108s	that's that's spun up last week um we've
4110s	already made changes based on their
4112s	feedback
4114s	um and usually that didn't spin up in
4117s	the in the past that spun up like at
4119s	most a month before patch and we're what
4122s	we're still three months out now three
4124s	months four
4133s	days
4151s	yeah all right next one can you also
4155s	uh can you also can you please give your
4158s	Dev thoughts on some differences you
4160s	reckon exist between Le and peee backend
4164s	um
4165s	I so I am not one of the backend
4168s	Engineers for last Epoch um I do I know
4172s	a lot about how it's um like the
4174s	overarching conceptual of it but like
4176s	the nitty-gritty stuff is not day-to-day
4180s	Hands-On on a lot of that stuff so
4184s	um I can't give you a fantastic idea of
4188s	that let's go let's go into a for strike
4189s	let's let's let's lean into this minion
4192s	thing until these gloves are terrible
4194s	you
4195s	know um let's go straight to crit
4202s	whatever uh yeah never mind minions crit
4210s	crit um where are we
4221s	at uh backend differences between Poe
4224s	and Le yeah um so
4226s	the I can tell you that the the engine
4229s	that Poe is made in is completely
4231s	developed in-house um not completely but
4235s	they it's it is it is an it's an
4237s	in-house developed engine specifically
4238s	for Poe we use uh Unity um so there's
4243s	like there's good and bad things about
4245s	both of those approaches
4248s	um and so there's there's going to be
4250s	some significant differences just right
4252s	off the bat there um um I don't I really
4256s	don't know enough about Poe's backend
4258s	structure
4260s	to
4262s	um comment too directly on this I'm
4269s	sorry
4271s	yeah I don't know I'm I'm I'm trying to
4273s	think of good things to say about the
4275s	differences and I just don't know enough
4277s	to um to give you good answer I'm
4283s	sorry
4286s	uh is it a bad question to
4291s	answer is it a bad question to answer
4294s	regarding your thoughts on differences
4295s	in the back end I'm genuinely
4297s	interested uh oh it's just about the
4299s	same thing I I don't I don't know um I
4302s	don't think it's a good I don't think
4303s	it's a bad question no um I think it's a
4305s	it's a it's a great question um I just
4308s	don't know enough about either back ends
4309s	to really give you a good answer
4313s	sorry
4320s	um if you do have a question for me
4322s	please put at last depu game in the
4323s	question so I see it and I apologize if
4325s	I have skipped over one of your
4327s	questions um please repost it with at
4329s	last depu game and I will answer
4335s	it why Earth isn't flat um because
4342s	gravity
4345s	because
4353s	gravity I know it seems like a throwaway
4355s	answer but that's actually
4363s	why wait I'm not getting paid sorry got
4366s	to read that fine
4369s	[Music]
4371s	print
4372s	farewell
4381s	I'm pressing buttons wrong Grumble gr
4388s	Grumble dude do we like switch to Shield
4391s	throw when we get there do we wait a
4393s	little
4398s	[Music]
4402s	bit
4404s	I do like the way we look right now this
4406s	big
4408s	hammer like the Gap in
4425s	it
4428s	yes boss fight time have you considered
4432s	the uh to change have you consider
4434s	probably have you considered to change
4437s	the modifiers on the monos to something
4439s	you can manage with your build more
4441s	strategically example Dodger crit
4443s	avoidance on the monos uh this is just
4445s	DPS reduce for the related
4448s	builds okay I'm I'm curious about this
4450s	question because I may have misread it
4451s	but I
4453s	think uh that you just s upon first
4456s	reading I think you just suggested us do
4458s	something and then said we should stop
4459s	doing that same thing but let me read it
4462s	again to make sure
4464s	uh so I may not understand what you're
4467s	asking that happens a lot cuz I'm bad at
4478s	reading have you considered to change
4481s	the
4482s	modifiers on the monos to something you
4484s	can manage with your build more
4487s	strategically So like
4492s	um
4494s	like like like punish really specific
4496s	parts of builds so that you can focus on
4499s	other parts of builds in order to
4502s	interact with it strategically like
4504s	that's that's that's what I read from
4505s	that I I don't maybe I'm just reading it
4507s	wrong um and the example is Dodge or
4510s	crit avoidance on
4512s	monos which like is is what I just said
4517s	like it's it goes after hit builds spe
4519s	or crit builds hit and then crit build
4521s	specifically um
4525s	this is just DPS reduced for the related
4528s	builds which which I think is the you're
4530s	saying that's a that's a bad
4536s	thing I'm really I feel like I feel like
4538s	I'm just missing the the the point here
4541s	I'm so
4541s	sorry I I I I I I don't know what I'm
4545s	missing but I think it's just me being
4549s	silly and as soon as this is done I'm
4551s	going to scroll down and hope someone's
4552s	explained it
4565s	K good good up okay good looking out
4567s	wait until I can craft a Ballista ring
4569s	or two and have enough to points to
4570s	remove the cool down
4572s	okay
4575s	um Mar let's let's look and find and
4577s	follow from this person for example crit
4579s	avoid to be replaced with reduced crit
4582s	chance
4589s	oh you you mean that like so you can
4591s	overcome it so that there's like if
4593s	you're a crit build and you um and you
4597s	build like 200% crit um it doesn't
4601s	matter that there's a 50% crit reduction
4602s	because you're still at 100% crit
4604s	instead of crit avoidance in which case
4606s	that doesn't matter if you're at 200%
4607s	crit uh and if there's 50% crit
4610s	avoidance um you're still at 50% crit
4613s	even though you're start at
4618s	200 oh yeah the next that way you can
4620s	overcap crit to play vers okay yeah see
4624s	I just wasn't understanding the
4626s	question it's just me it's just me being
4632s	dumb yeah
4635s	um there was a couple years ago an
4640s	extremely long debate on this exact
4642s	topic
4644s	I do not remember the exact reason why
4646s	it was crvo and not reduce crit
4648s	chance I know exactly who could uh who
4652s	can answer this see if they're
4662s	online where are you they are offline
4664s	with their notifications turned off yeah
4667s	I cannot contact the person who can
4668s	answer this right now I'm
4672s	sorry
4679s	but yeah I like it's it's def it is a a
4682s	very valid point to bring up and um I
4684s	don't have a good answer for
4691s	you
4698s	um it's probably something to do with
4700s	the way it interacts with the items on
4701s	your
4702s	build
4708s	I'm not
4713s	sure let's scroll back up more
4732s	questions
4738s	we're we're looking to make ballista
4740s	Rings now right is what we're
4741s	doing we should we add a
4750s	tree here we
4762s	go
4767s	strengthen
4775s	decks oh my
4778s	God I'm right to zero oh whatever it's
4781s	there I should have a
4783s	discovery that was my
4785s	mistake that is a
4790s	prefix oh my God I'm using hopes instead
4794s	of chaoses oh we are just all over the
4797s	place you know just out of principle
4799s	we're dropping that on the
4806s	ground oh excuse
4812s	me that was
4817s	weird uh any interesting Andor funny
4820s	stories regarding programming bugs that
4822s	are found and how they were
4824s	ass
4831s	uh I always just feel so stupid after I
4833s	find so many of the bugs just just
4837s	like like anything that's like that I've
4839s	worked on long enough to like stick out
4841s	as a memory is just it's always so
4844s	like oh yes that's finally what it was
4846s	it's
4847s	over not not like uh H it's funny that
4850s	that was the
4852s	thing
4856s	all right chaos it chaos
4868s	it my Beard's getting a little
4880s	unruly couple more months I'll be ready
4882s	to play Santa
4888s	interesting bugs
4889s	interesting program
4894s	bugs
4906s	um okay the one that comes to mind I'm
4909s	like I've talked about this before but
4910s	whatever I guess I'll do it there was a
4912s	um when we were when we were first
4914s	setting up
4915s	homing um like like when
4918s	a projectile like heat seeks to a
4922s	Target uh we we've got this scene with
4924s	just like a bunch of like bunch of
4926s	little dummies all like you can like
4927s	spawn dummies move dummies around um set
4929s	enemies up in specific patterns to like
4931s	check things like this and so
4935s	um uh the the the
4938s	attraction ratio uh had an extra
4941s	negative sign in there and it caused
4944s	like when you when you said like oh like
4947s	it's got a a homing factor of like three
4950s	it would which is very strong homing
4951s	Factory it would avoid the things
4953s	instead of moving towards them move away
4955s	from them um so you'd be like you throw
4959s	something at a Target be like okay it's
4961s	supposed to heat s to that Target it
4962s	would just like go and just Veer away
4964s	from it as fast as it
4966s	could uh and then we started setting up
4969s	fix the bug then you just put a negative
4971s	number in the in the in the attra
4973s	fraction ratio um and started having fun
4976s	like setting up obstacle courses to see
4978s	like how many things you could throw a
4982s	shield
4983s	towards um without it hitting any of
4987s	them like and like watching it um like
4992s	like weave through like obstacle courses
4995s	of um of training dummies that was
5001s	fun
5009s	all right epic raid boss asks I like
5012s	that name it's good
5014s	um oh did I miss one this was an hour
5017s	ago did I miss this an hour ago oh I'm
5019s	so sorry if I did
5021s	odm if I did miss you I'm sorry I just
5023s	looked over I don't remember saying this
5024s	one odm 49 thank you for the sub 6
5027s	months in a row hello hello
5030s	hello
5031s	oh just just for my horrible manners
5034s	I'll give you I'll give you a little
5035s	teaser here this is frod
5040s	m49 uh so here's a little a little sneak
5042s	peek look at um our new item tool tips
5047s	and how they're going to look
5050s	um also looking at the new Ruby Fang
5053s	Aegis I don't know there any changes to
5054s	that at
5056s	all I don't think much changed there but
5059s	if there has there you go yeah this is
5062s	what item tool tips look like so there's
5064s	um the the Art's not necessarily quite
5066s	as restricted to the um to the frame uh
5070s	there's some more flourishes color
5072s	different um font is different uh the
5075s	way that the requirements this doesn't
5077s	show the like uh the requirements layout
5079s	at the bottom but there's like there's
5081s	there's new way we're saying like oh
5083s	this requires circle of Fortune to equip
5084s	oh this requires Forge guard to equip um
5086s	things like that so there's all sorts of
5088s	new stuff
5090s	happening with our tooltip display
5097s	boom there you go little one
5106s	there uh there's there's there's a lot
5108s	of news that came out this morning with
5110s	the
5111s	um uh with
5113s	the uh development update devel de blog
5117s	update if you haven't seen the no
5120s	development update post check that out
5122s	there ton of stuff in there it's
5123s	fantastic highly recommend uh all right
5125s	so any chance of getting the current
5127s	appearance transmog tab uh to work with
5129s	already found in-game armor sets uh AKA
5132s	all armor and not just purchased armor I
5134s	would love to use some very nice in-game
5135s	visuals without using that armor um we
5138s	do not have a method to do this for 1.0
5141s	um it is something that we've discussed
5143s	doing it's something we want to get done
5144s	something we want to work but it is not
5145s	going to be available at
5149s	1.0 and I don't know the details of what
5152s	that'll look like when it is there I
5153s	don't know if this is going to be like
5156s	um like I I guess what's what's one one
5159s	of the spectrums D3 where every item
5161s	you've ever found you can just make any
5164s	item look that way with a very poultry
5165s	sum of in-game currency um and like have
5170s	fun go ahead Dy it any color you want
5173s	you know that that's that's that's just
5174s	super super anything goes mode um and
5178s	then like opposite end of the spectrum
5180s	is like what was like orig I think the
5182s	original wow version of the transmog was
5186s	like U I'm just talking just two
5188s	extremes of the spectrum here and it's
5189s	going to be somewhere in the middle of
5190s	this spectrum I don't know where um but
5193s	like I think I think the original
5195s	version for wow was like um you can buy
5198s	an MTX item that makes one item look
5201s	like another and it like consumes the
5203s	first item or something like that I
5205s	don't know if it consumed it or not but
5206s	it consumed the MTX it they were single
5207s	use they were purchasable single use
5210s	items and it was brutal
5216s	um so yes some somewhere between those
5219s	two
5220s	extremes uh like if if we get that in
5223s	that's that's yeah hey bees Welcome to
5226s	The
5236s	Hive that's like some celebrity group of
5240s	fans or something
5243s	I
5246s	think Mike shut up your ignorance is
5248s	showing oh sorry my
5254s	bad I'm not old you're
5259s	old uh
5269s	anyways uh our future uh our future MTX
5273s	armor visual changes going to be
5275s	in-house design and ideas or will you
5277s	collab with a known pop culture thingy
5280s	say Family Guy and you can wear a peanut
5283s	butter jelly sandwich costume or look
5284s	like a giant muted chicken um
5288s	there uh it's possible that we might do
5292s	some Partnerships with uh
5295s	wow zero slide has I I was like what is
5299s	that sound like that we never hear that
5301s	sound there thank you very much for the
5303s	Thousand bits wow great game first time
5307s	catching the stream very much enjoying
5308s	it that's awesome I'm glad you're having
5309s	fun that's awesome thank
5311s	you um what was was I saying oh yeah
5314s	yeah collabs for other other stuff
5318s	um I
5321s	uh f for the most part the general rule
5324s	for us is um ntx needs to make sense in
5328s	Universe it needs to be things that uh
5332s	theoretically you could find in in the
5334s	world of at Tera and um that like makes
5337s	sense at least at least mostly makes
5340s	sense you know um so like there there
5343s	could be something that um maybe was
5346s	referential to something uh or like a
5349s	little uh a little flare on something
5352s	that like we're like oh that's a nod to
5353s	this thing um a fullon peanut butter
5357s	jelly sandwich costume like Halloween
5360s	costume Style no
5364s	sorry um I it's like it's cool um it's
5370s	just not the type of aesthetic we're
5372s	going for our game
5376s	um so yeah we're we're looking to keep
5378s	things as as in universe as possible um
5382s	and I like things can change it might
5384s	not be a hard and fast rule it might be
5386s	a little bit like um there'll be times
5389s	where like bended a little bit for
5390s	specific situations or I I don't know
5392s	but the the primary um yeah let's we're
5397s	going to get the no Mana cost what am I
5398s	doing it should the first thing no no
5399s	cool down
5401s	sorry um
5409s	yeah are there any places in the code
5411s	the team dreads having to touch yes I
5414s	mean I I dread having to touch anything
5415s	multiplayer related
5418s	um that's just cuz I I I don't know
5421s	enough about it to do it uh
5424s	safely
5425s	um but there's there's no like uh code
5430s	bman script that's like uh that's like
5433s	oh I got to work with that script again
5435s	it's such a mess no there nothing like
5438s	that um there's a few scripts that are
5441s	like uh a little a little on the heavy
5444s	side like those they're
5447s	humongous
5450s	um but they're not terrible like
5453s	like like okay well the primary script
5456s	that runs the whole you user interface
5459s	like the the whole the thing that
5461s	manages like what's on screen like when
5463s	I press this button and I say like open
5465s	the skills panel like the thing that
5467s	says all right do I close the other
5469s	things that are behind it what's open
5471s	what do I close um you know like like
5474s	that the the script that handles all
5476s	that um is is
5479s	humongous um but there's just so many
5481s	panels that can show up and um so many
5484s	like edge cases of like oh you're doing
5486s	a scene transition should you close the
5487s	panels or not um is it a scene
5489s	transition of a specific type so like
5491s	Technically when a new Echo opens it's a
5494s	it's a scene transition even though you
5495s	don't move at all you it looks like you
5497s	st where you are it's a scene transition
5499s	um so before when every time we had a
5501s	scene transition the um the loading
5503s	screen would show up and so we could
5505s	close all of the UI Windows underneath
5507s	it and it's great uh but then as soon as
5509s	we add started adding echo's additively
5511s	loading it was a scene transition where
5513s	it didn't make sense to close the
5514s	windows CU people would be like in their
5516s	shop and someone in their stash and
5517s	someone else would start an echo in the
5519s	party and it would close their stash on
5521s	them and they drop an item on the ground
5523s	and and like there was there was a time
5524s	when it was actually cleaning all the
5526s	ground every time an echo opened and so
5528s	there was like in early early version
5530s	this never went live I don't think where
5532s	people would um have their stash open
5534s	someone else in the party would start an
5535s	echo R they're trying to drop something
5537s	in their stash they drop the item on the
5538s	ground uh and it would delete the item
5541s	like just cuz they race condition of
5543s	like a very specific race condition
5546s	um and and so yeah there's that scripts
5549s	a little bloated but um blo is the wrong
5552s	term for it because it is as big as it
5554s	needs to be uh but it is huge
5556s	intimidating might be better word uh the
5558s	script that runs the like the primary
5561s	functions or the like the all all the
5563s	special functions on the character So
5565s	like
5567s	um actually just increased melee stun
5570s	chance per level like even that there's
5572s	a special script on the player that's
5573s	that's um that makes that work which
5576s	means that stat can never apply to a
5578s	minion because that minion doesn't have
5579s	that script CU it's
5586s	huge but I don't dread touching those
5588s	cuz I work on those every day
5594s	so a lot of RPGs have abilities that
5598s	have projectiles that can bounce off
5600s	walls yeah a in map
5602s	would you ever add that to an ability in
5604s	Le either by skill tree or unique item
5607s	if it was possible for us to add that
5610s	performant it would be in the game by
5611s	now specifically with Shield
5615s	throw we do not have a method by which
5617s	we can put that in the game right now
5620s	where it doesn't ruin
5622s	everything I'm
5631s	sorry
5634s	don't like the font current font better
5637s	well uh that is a custom font that we
5641s	spent a very long time developing
5642s	specifically for Ellie so get used to
5644s	seeing it a lot cuz it ain't going
5651s	anywhere uh is there any chance
5654s	Fireballs homing node will get fixed I
5656s	don't know no information on on bugs
5657s	here sorry uh and stop circling on top
5660s	of an enemy doing no damage so that
5662s	happens specifically when multiple
5666s	Fireballs
5667s	have um locked onto the same Target and
5671s	one of them's already hit it uh and the
5674s	and the other one can't hit it anymore
5676s	cu cu only one of multiple Target
5678s	multiple Fireballs in a single shot can
5679s	hit the target um it's generally when
5682s	that should happen
5685s	um so you're not actually losing any
5687s	damage with this bug but yes it isn't a
5689s	frustrating visual
5690s	bug
5694s	if that makes you feel any
5699s	better uh new M2 slps looks fantastic
5702s	reminds me to ask is there a specific
5705s	reason for using a small caps font style
5708s	um we just through bunch of testing
5710s	found it easier to parse
5714s	quickly uh have you thought about
5716s	allowing the player to choose targeted
5718s	loot similar to the division 2 I haven't
5720s	played the division 2 so I can't par it
5722s	specifically I'm sorry um I have a
5725s	really hard time farming Idols I would
5726s	rather all monolith rewards be Idol
5728s	drops or whatever gear slot I need um so
5732s	we do try to put some level of uh drop
5737s	shaping that you can do so you can like
5739s	influence your drops in specific ways be
5741s	it through um monolith rewards where you
5744s	can say like give me more Idols give me
5745s	more this specific autle that I'm
5746s	looking for um whether that's through
5749s	completing specific uh taking specific
5752s	options in dungeons when you go to the
5754s	next floor like hey pick the idol one if
5755s	you need Idols um you know things like
5758s	that so we do try to give players the
5760s	opportunity to
5763s	um uh curate their drops a little bit
5766s	through
5767s	in-game uh choices already so we do we
5770s	do that um to the to the extreme extent
5774s	of
5776s	just let me trade in all my drops for
5779s	Idols probably not no um
5782s	coming up with 1.0 with the item faction
5785s	systems be it with uh if you're taking
5787s	uh Circle Of Fortune or Merchant Guild
5790s	uh both of those do have ways that you
5793s	can significantly
5795s	alter uh the types of items you're
5798s	you're you're acquiring and and to
5800s	curate those drops a lot more
5804s	um than what than what you have already
5807s	I don't know why I took that without
5808s	smacking into a throwing ability that
5809s	was dumb uh just doesn't matter though
5812s	we're having
5815s	fun
5819s	um I should put thid my bar shouldn't
5824s	I we with it let's go do side
5828s	quest uh yeah so there's what was I
5834s	answering oh yeah targeting drops so so
5837s	we we are um adding more tools for more
5841s	specifically targeting your gear um but
5844s	having it be completely
5851s	targetable I mean like with with um if
5854s	you do go Merchant Guild you can just
5855s	spend all your money on buying Idols
5858s	there you
5867s	go all right regarding UI elements are
5869s	there any plans to allow us to move to
5872s	move or customize the main skill hot bar
5874s	no in other iies I find myself using
5876s	tools like uh Reade to mirror that part
5879s	of the screen into the middle of my
5880s	field of view near my character because
5882s	the glance down requirement causes ice
5885s	Trin during long sessions alternatively
5886s	can we continue using Reade that way in
5889s	Le um so I'm I'm not going to give any
5896s	hard yes or no on any third party tools
5900s	uh using without being okay or not I'm
5902s	just like if if you'd like if you'd like
5904s	a firm answer on that the answer is no
5906s	it's not okay um if you don't want me to
5909s	give a for an answer the answer is maybe
5910s	it's
5911s	okay um so take your pick of those two
5915s	answers either maybe or
5917s	no
5919s	um yeah it's it's it's one of those
5922s	things that like
5924s	um it's really hard to give a blanket
5927s	statement on things like that uh just
5930s	because there's like there there might
5932s	be some Niche way of using it that we
5933s	don't know that that is problematic
5936s	um I know that there have
5939s	been uh some uses for reshade that have
5942s	been approved in the
5945s	past
5949s	um so yeah I I don't know I'm
5952s	sorry that's a nice little
5959s	Idol yeah little armor a little health
5961s	we take
5965s	it um UI customization there's a few
5969s	there's a few things in UI customization
5970s	that is um that would be really nice to
5973s	get in something something that we would
5974s	like to do and there is like we we have
5976s	extremely minimal UI customization that
5978s	kind of happens a tiny little bit people
5981s	I'm going to say people n it doesn't
5982s	count
5983s	Mike so I'm not going to say it uh and
5987s	and and I know that there's been um
5991s	there are a lot of people that feel are
5992s	uh that there situations where UI is too
5994s	small and um wanting to increase the
5997s	size of that especially if you're
5998s	playing on a couch um like you're you're
6000s	pretty far away from a TV that sort of
6001s	thing UI is is pretty tough to read
6003s	there there's um text can be really hard
6005s	to read in situations like
6007s	that um so I would say UI customization
6012s	is sort of in that suay category like oh
6017s	man it would be
6018s	nice
6020s	um and there's always people working on
6022s	those Sunday category things hi
6025s	Jud
6027s	um so I can't really say yes or no I'm
6030s	sorry i' love to be able to uh heik you
6033s	may not uh know this since it's a little
6036s	ways out any idea of how big the one
6038s	point update will be no I think around
6040s	500 it will be more than 500 it'll be
6042s	more than a gig it'll it'll be more than
6045s	a
6048s	gig I I'm I'm confident in in at least a
6057s	gig um mostly because there's a lot of
6060s	changes to the way we do
6063s	levels um and so a lot of a lot of the
6066s	scenes like in monolith and the Dungeons
6069s	and the campaign everywhere there's
6071s	there's a lot of changes to those scenes
6073s	um and and that often triggers uh even
6077s	if the change isn't that big I think the
6080s	way the differential patching work works
6082s	is it actually updates the whole file I
6084s	could be wrong on that um but I'm pretty
6086s	sure that adding in updates to scenes
6089s	themselves causes the patches to be a
6090s	little bit bigger on Steam anywhere
6093s	anywhere
6110s	really
6114s	uh do you have a a single generic team
6118s	working on character classes and skill
6121s	trees or Are there specific teams for
6123s	each character type um we have it's more
6127s	in the generic character sense but there
6129s	are it's combination of both I guess
6133s	um so we have like our design team and
6137s	uh like our our and that gets broken
6140s	down into like skill design team and our
6142s	like uh boss design like encounter
6144s	design team and our level design team
6147s	and our like so there's like subgroups
6149s	of that that that do stuff the um skill
6152s	design is usually the same people uh
6155s	skill to skill but then we'll we'll
6158s	usually give like an owner to a to a
6159s	specific Mastery so like there's there's
6161s	someone whose like job it is is to like
6164s	um a bunch of things but part of their
6166s	job is to push push Falconer production
6168s	and and sort of like own Falconer
6170s	production and um um there's someone who
6172s	someone else's job who is the owner of
6174s	Warlock and it's their job to push
6176s	warlock production and make sure that
6177s	like um pushing production is wrong you
6179s	put it but like uh like tracking the
6182s	design and making sure that gets like
6184s	forgotten and left behind that sort of
6185s	thing so like
6189s	there's bit of
6191s	both
6193s	yeah bit of
6199s	both there's a couple people that are
6202s	kind of involved with everything there's
6205s	one person in particular that's like the
6206s	our principal designer is is really
6208s	heavily involved with with all of those
6210s	design tasks and and and has has their
6214s	has their their DNA all over the game
6217s	everywhere like
6220s	yeah would not be the same without
6230s	them
6246s	I should really have rebuke on my
6249s	bar cuz then I could have just stood in
6257s	that all right next one one point was
6260s	pretty close how done is it are delays
6262s	possible and expected 1.0 will release
6265s	on February
6267s	21st like like the um exit Del is always
6271s	possible but like the what would have to
6275s	go wrong to make
6277s	1.0 uh oh that was way too early yep way
6281s	too
6283s	early um what would have to happen for
6285s	1.0 not to come out at that time would
6287s	would be like a a devastatingly
6290s	catastrophic tring problem uh
6299s	like
6301s	yeah stuff is on
6314s	track uh you know I've got I've got one
6316s	more little thing to share kind of just
6319s	a follow up on the last one really
6323s	this is uh actually an item I was
6326s	talking about on stream earlier this is
6327s	balder's wrath this has been nerfed into
6329s	the ground compared to what it was it's
6330s	still
6337s	good um yeah so here's what a unique
6340s	item looks like with our new item tool
6341s	tips pretty cool neat
6345s	stuff you know I might slap this
6348s	down uh in the corner so so I can people
6351s	want to keep seeing that they can while
6353s	I
6354s	[Music]
6357s	play here we
6362s	go May a teror smile upon
6367s	youwell
6370s	greetings give me those idle
6372s	slots I want idle
6375s	slots
6379s	yes
6384s	let's look at our
6385s	stash see if we've got something that
6387s	like just jumps out of me as like why am
6389s	I not using
6409s	that uh
6411s	right now
6425s	that we've got we've actually got a
6427s	sweet Shield
6438s	here does this
6443s	does this
6466s	work we got to level it
6469s	up
6488s	uh I had a ring I was going to put on
6489s	when I did
6493s	this R there's
6499s	that
6507s	right I where we
6509s	were got a little time left let's go see
6512s	if we can do stuff with this probably
6514s	won't go
6517s	fantastic that's
6529s	okay
6532s	initial results
6539s	promising initial results
6544s	promising uh do you personally have a
6546s	favorite defensive mechanic in Le if you
6550s	could add additional layer what would it
6551s	be
6553s	um I really like thematically cool
6557s	defensive mechanics um and I know it
6559s	sounds terrible but I really like
6561s	defensive mechanics that uh that leave
6564s	you at low health and have those like oh
6567s	almost died moments um so endurance is
6569s	my favorite mechanic for that way
6574s	um it's possible there might be a new
6576s	one that comes eventually remember we
6579s	were talking about
6580s	one
6584s	um I wonder what happened with
6589s	that
6593s	can't remember if that got approved or
6594s	not
6600s	sorry I think there's also defensive
6602s	mechanics that are used that are that
6604s	are generated offensively that are kind
6606s	of
6607s	underrated um so like like just snap
6611s	freeze like like freeze or stun as a
6613s	defensive mechanic I really like and
6615s	like um uh okay here's here's my
6618s	favorite defens mechanic it is in Rogue
6621s	when you
6623s	uh oh crap what's the name of it the one
6626s	that you disappear and you like attack a
6628s	whole bunch of times on a single Target
6630s	uh but you're invulnerable because
6631s	you're not there really um that's my
6633s	favorite defensive
6649s	mechanic
6652s	all right uh any update on allowing loot
6656s	filter items to show up on the mini map
6659s	uh in the past you've mentioned a
6660s	performance issue I think yeah I did
6662s	mention that in the past um we don't
6664s	have there's no there's no updates
6665s	everything's the same as it was um
6667s	there's
6671s	no oh sorry about that I need a better
6673s	mute
6674s	button
6676s	um it's it's it's possible that we might
6679s	add that um it's I don't think being
6682s	added for 1.0 um the problem that this
6686s	suggestion solves as we talked about
6688s	last time about having the the narrowing
6691s	down the problems of the suggestions in
6692s	order to determ possibly there's a
6693s	different way to solve it um in this
6696s	case is usually the problem that's
6698s	that's presented is hey I've got a bunch
6700s	of minions and they killed it behind I
6702s	didn't see it or hey I've I'm I'm All
6704s	dots and I keep running forward and it
6705s	dropped behind me I didn't see it um
6708s	there's there's other ways to solve that
6710s	I know one way that's been suggested and
6711s	you can't see the chat that I just
6712s	opened but having it having it yell at
6715s	you in chat like hey this dropped
6717s	somewhere go find it um which I know
6719s	isn't as useful as an icon that says
6722s	like this is where this item is
6724s	um but it it you know it a chieves the
6728s	same
6730s	uh or similar problem
6739s	solving h Pebbles love that I love that
6742s	set the uh um the flavor text sound is
6745s	really good with with the whole
6750s	thing which I realize you can't read
6753s	Because of where it is uh
6755s	[Music]
6758s	sorry I have two of them I had two of
6761s	the
6763s	sash that's funny oh what what did our
6765s	Shield just get oh more Health we'll
6767s	take
6768s	it you will take that to the bank
6773s	um just yeah throwing we're we're going
6774s	we're going Shield throw let's do
6783s	this synchronize stke yeah uh question
6788s	skipped missed I'm sorry if I if I
6790s	missed your question I
6794s	apologize uh I
6798s	did yep I totally missed that uh are you
6801s	guys GS at eh planning to go uh the way
6804s	of the Season pass/ dailies and if so is
6807s	there any plans to make it so that
6809s	implementation of that doesn't create a
6811s	feeling of having to log in and get uh
6814s	and it gets to become a chore to
6817s	play um so we we don't have any uh oh
6822s	say any there technically already is a
6824s	daily mechanic in the game um the reward
6829s	for uh uh the dungeon reward changes
6832s	there there's a unique dungeon reward
6833s	that changes every
6835s	day um now it's not a it's it's not like
6838s	some massive thing uh and it's it's a
6840s	little bit different than than a daily
6842s	Quest because um if you if you don't log
6847s	in on sword day uh it's not like
6851s	you uh like get get less total gear you
6855s	know like it's not like you like oh um
6859s	you don't get something per day for
6860s	logging in just the thing you get
6862s	changes every day when logging in so
6863s	it's it's not quite the same like oh I
6866s	have to log in every day um the when
6869s	when I when I say that usually the
6870s	argument that gets that gets toss back
6872s	is well I have to log in to check what
6873s	it is every day and yeah fair enough
6875s	that's unfortunate um and we should
6877s	probably have a way of checking that on
6878s	our website or something like that so
6880s	you don't have to log in um if if we're
6882s	going to keep doing things like that
6883s	more
6885s	extreme like with with a bigger
6887s	implication if if that's the case um we
6890s	we don't have any more plans for
6891s	mechanics like that right now um they're
6893s	not off the table um as far as like a um
6899s	a season pass type mechanic uh we don't
6902s	have any plans for that um if if we did
6905s	do a season pass mechanic um we we would
6911s	we we would really try try really really
6912s	really really hard to make it as um uh
6916s	simple I think would be the best way to
6918s	put it as as possible and and have as
6919s	few of these like um those types of
6922s	mechanics as possible so it would be um
6925s	more along the lines of like okay this
6927s	season or this cycle uh here's like a
6931s	list of like eight things you have to do
6932s	this cycle in order to like complete the
6935s	season
6936s	um maybe that have to be done in order
6938s	you know like like uh and and and
6941s	definitely not specific days of the week
6945s	um and I I I quite frequently get uh
6950s	into a bit of a debate on like on on
6953s	season fast stuff because I really like
6955s	season fast mechanics um if if done in a
6959s	very specific way uh and there's a lot
6962s	of really big problems with how seasons
6964s	passes are done in a lot of situations
6966s	um but there's there's there's
6968s	definitely ways that I've seen season
6969s	pastes done that like that work
6971s	fantastic
6973s	um and the the key the key thing is that
6976s	you you just don't you don't have to be
6977s	a pay thing so it's it's just like a
6980s	um it's more like a cycle a series of
6983s	cycle quests I gu better way to put it
6986s	than a season's pass
6989s	um and it's but like the distinction
6991s	there is such a fine line that it's it's
6993s	hard to really differentiate them I
6994s	think
6996s	um I think the problem comes with the
6998s	season fasts when you start saying okay
7000s	here's the free track and here's the
7001s	paid track and like oh you you can only
7005s	complete the thing if you log in every
7007s	day or uh you can complete it like you
7010s	can only move it up a step every day or
7012s	like you tie these in-game achievements
7014s	to outside of game uh rules is
7019s	is generally not a great way to make it
7022s	fun um I don't want to make too many abs
7025s	states with this cuz it's so hard to
7027s	think of all the edge cases
7030s	um I think the vast majority of the time
7032s	seasons passes come up they're usually
7034s	have problems with them that make them
7037s	less awesome than they could be um
7041s	but I think there's ways that they can
7042s	be done really well we're we're not
7044s	planning one I just in defense of season
7047s	passes as a mechanic I guess
7050s	um yes
7053s	yes uh all right here we go it's Shield
7056s	time did I get another thing no oh more
7058s	health I
7060s	um
7063s	and the UI I guess part of the reason
7067s	I'm bringing this all up is the UI for
7069s	for uh cycle and the and the um for
7072s	cycle the UI for item factions in
7074s	general um is is going to feel very
7078s	Seasons passy you know um it's going to
7082s	it's like the the style of how you
7085s	interact with the the item factions in a
7088s	cycle is very similar to how You'
7089s	interact with a season's pass
7092s	um like big differences being there's no
7095s	way to pay to get an an advanced version
7097s	there just like there's one track
7100s	effectively
7103s	um and it's it's it's it's not like it's
7106s	not a season's fast at all UI just looks
7108s	really similar
7110s	um and if you want to stretch the
7112s	definition of season pass you could make
7114s	Arguments for it being
7118s	similar because you are um you're having
7122s	to you're having to gain ranks you play
7123s	the game and as you play the game you
7125s	gain ranks in this system and as you
7127s	rank up you unlock new bonuses to be
7129s	used in that system like that's kind of
7131s	that's the broad definition of a
7132s	season's pass in most cases I think
7136s	um so yeah it's it's hard to to say like
7140s	are we going to have any well no but
7143s	kind of in a weird roundabout way a
7144s	little bit sort of
7152s	ish hope that answered the
7155s	question oh we are out of time okay I'm
7157s	going to burn through questions that are
7160s	here and call it uh call it a stream and
7163s	we're look at my sweet character with
7166s	enemies ominously in the distance as we
7168s	do
7171s	it all right do you have any plans to
7173s	all do you have any plans to expand item
7176s	filtering options and add affixes that
7178s	can be turned into shards and I have
7180s	less than 100 of these shards in storage
7181s	to make Dynamic filtering of shards to
7183s	certain number less laborious to the
7185s	player
7186s	no uh a small suggestion about new item
7189s	design design could you add a small
7191s	aesthetic dash line that would separate
7194s	prefixes from suffixes just to ease us
7196s	noobs into the game what stack goes
7198s	where um we we actually tried this um
7202s	probably not it didn't look very good uh
7205s	if you look in the
7209s	um you can see this
7211s	little uh marking here and this little
7214s	marking here this has two prefixes and
7216s	one
7217s	suffix um you can also look uh these
7221s	dots two prefixes and one suffix um so
7223s	there there are some some ways to help
7224s	you with that already um that are
7226s	sticking around so um that's the best I
7229s	got for you I'm
7230s	sorry uh I wish last EPO online worked
7233s	without having to use a
7235s	VPN um I never had this issue with any
7237s	other online game people said sucks
7242s	uh Hey wow that was the last
7244s	question very
7248s	cool oh my God said season instead of
7250s	cycle get him K yeah my
7254s	bad paid season fast is a huge Red
7256s	Flight yeah yeah yeah like there's no
7258s	paid seasons pass there's no seasons
7259s	pass really um and there's definitely no
7261s	paid version of
7263s	it if you're paid version of the battle
7265s	pass there's no paid version of the
7266s	battle pass there's no battle pass uh
7268s	give extra Cosmetics that's usually fine
7271s	uh it's Cosmetics you'd be spending
7272s	money on otherwise in your Mt store yeah
7274s	if that I I actually agree with you
7275s	there um if you're going to have a paid
7277s	version of the battle pass having the
7279s	paid version strictly be really strictly
7283s	be cosmetic differences only yeah it's I
7288s	mean great you're I I have no problem
7290s	with paid Cosmetics at all clearly
7294s	um but yeah like that's that's a very
7297s	fine line to
7299s	walk very fine line to walk and there's
7302s	like there's I think I think I think
7304s	there's been examples of people trying
7306s	to do exactly that and like accidentally
7310s	including uh tangible benefits to a paid
7313s	version of a battle pass or a season
7315s	pass or something like that and like
7316s	just being like a complete mistake uh
7318s	just cuz it's so easy to do it
7321s	accidentally
7322s	um yeah Deep Rock Galactic and Warframe
7326s	season pass are good cool I haven't I
7327s	haven't done interaction with their
7328s	season passes before um but that's I'm
7331s	very happy that there's good examples
7333s	there um the dev said anything about
7335s	progression carrying over from Cycles
7336s	the merchant rep uh like the merchant
7338s	rep so um
7340s	it's tied to your your stash and that
7343s	gets reset every cycle so it'll be um
7345s	like Legacy will have your own version
7347s	of that and cycle will have your own
7349s	version of that they will not um
7352s	overlap thanks for the stream you're
