| 480s | uh if if I'm wrong please just see the |
| 482s | video that we already did I think that's |
| 484s | right anyways um the as we get closer to |
| 487s | that we'll have a lot more stuff um I do |
| 490s | have a couple teasers today you know |
| 491s | like every every week we do little |
| 492s | teasers here um but like an official |
| 494s | like big big splashy video of like big |
| 497s | epic stuff and like all all like lots of |
| 499s | info and you know big post all sort of |
| 501s | stuff |
| 502s | probably |
| 504s | um probably going to be a little a |
| 506s | little while before before we actually |
| 507s | get into one of those um I don't have |
| 510s | anything that big for you today I'm |
| 511s | sorry and yeah so if anyone does have |
| 513s | any questions please put at last Depot |
| 515s | game |
| 516s | into uh the the chat so we we know that |
| 520s | it's a question directly for me and not |
| 521s | for uh just everybody else because |
| 524s | you're welcome to chat amongst |
| 525s | yourselves too all right next one I |
| 528s | believe you working on some kind of |
| 529s | engine update right yes we are if so |
| 532s | what Improvement should the updated |
| 533s | engine bring to the game thank you I |
| 535s | mean so it's uh a lot of things that |
| 537s | are um |
| 540s | completely invisible to the player so |
| 542s | it's a lot of things that are like that |
| 544s | will help us um just help our workflow |
| 547s | um there's a lot of things that are just |
| 548s | like oh now we can do things faster or |
| 552s | um uh there's a little bit better memory |
| 554s | management or um you know a a lot of |
| 557s | things that like don't feel like they'd |
| 558s | be very important but they have a lot of |
| 559s | knock on effects that you'll eventually |
| 560s | see down the road um there's also just |
| 563s | new technologies that we can incorporate |
| 565s | um after after we we add those in so |
| 568s | things like um I don't know if these are |
| 571s | I don't have a timeline or anything like |
| 572s | this but for example things like FSR is |
| 576s | not available in the current version |
| 577s | that we're on and we have to update to |
| 579s | to gain access to it so you know like |
| 581s | like things like that |
| 584s | um |
| 589s | yeah there's there's other projects |
| 591s | we've been working on that I don't I |
| 593s | can't really tell you about yet um that |
| 595s | we're like well we can't do that until |
| 596s | we update the engine um and then once we |
| 599s | start working on that we'll be like okay |
| 601s | is this possible like what else do we |
| 603s | need to do there's a lot of things that |
| 604s | that uh work together there |
| 608s | impossible kind of vague answer sorry |
| 613s | but uh can we start with an item taking |
| 616s | up the screen to start with that |
| 619s | no that'll be pretty funny though I I |
| 622s | actually almost did that too because I |
| 624s | was setting up the the teasers for |
| 626s | stream and like I |
| 628s | almost uh |
| 630s | like I I almost hit like I was I |
| 633s | actually was live with the like preview |
| 635s | thing setting up the teasers and I uh |
| 637s | almost hit switch over with the teasers |
| 639s | all of them like stacked on top of each |
| 641s | other still on the |
| 642s | screen which would have been |
| 646s | bad um are all secret SL Easter eggs |
| 649s | known by the devs in game now found or |
| 652s | do we have some work to do pre 1.1 as |
| 654s | far as I know so this question got asked |
| 656s | um uh that the we we did a lore stream |
| 659s | about about I want to say like a month |
| 661s | and a half two months ago something like |
| 662s | that um and right at the end of at the |
| 665s | end of the lore stream uh our our Lore |
| 667s | Master was like there's one Easter egg |
| 669s | left that no one's found um and I'm |
| 671s | pretty sure that that now has been found |
| 675s | um shout out to uh I think Perry the pig |
| 679s | was the one that found it I don't know |
| 680s | if he was the first one or not but that |
| 681s | was the first video I saw on it um |
| 685s | and uh so I think as far as I know all |
| 689s | of the Easter egg that are currently in |
| 690s | the game have been found and are well |
| 693s | documented |
| 695s | um it is possible that I'm missing one |
| 699s | but I really don't think so like uh I'm |
| 703s | quite confident that there's that |
| 705s | there's there's nothing extra missing |
| 708s | still uh I can't remember where I was |
| 709s | going to go with this just more |
| 713s | damage |
| 716s | yes want to land and we want Vines when |
| 718s | we land |
| 724s | vins these guys are doing these these |
| 726s | this like bleed is just |
| 733s | insane all right having recently played |
| 735s | another RPG that changed their uh gem |
| 737s | drop to an auto loot currency I really |
| 740s | felt what you meant but with the weight |
| 742s | oh I di just not paying attention my |
| 744s | hands aren even on the |
| 745s | keyboard |
| 748s | um uh |
| 750s | I really felt what you meant with the |
| 751s | weight of the AIX shards thank you for |
| 754s | considering the impact for systems |
| 756s | you're welcome um it's yeah like these |
| 760s | are we're Poss like we're quite cautious |
| 763s | when we automate things um and who knows |
| 766s | maybe we'll automate more things in the |
| 768s | future |
| 770s | um you know we still we we still keep an |
| 773s | eye on feedback for all sorts of things |
| 774s | even if something that like it seems |
| 775s | like an old system or something that we |
| 776s | still keep an eye on for feedback either |
| 779s | way |
| 781s | uh are there any improvements to |
| 782s | multiplayer that you can talk about |
| 783s | performance or gameplay wise I mean yeah |
| 785s | like there's um there's there's always |
| 788s | there's always tons of little things |
| 789s | that I that are kind of boring to talk |
| 791s | about this is something I mentioned |
| 792s | recently of like oh there's some some |
| 793s | tiny Improvement to memory management or |
| 796s | um you know it doesn't make for very |
| 799s | flashy announcements but um they end up |
| 802s | having nice nice uh gameplay |
| 804s | implications um there |
| 807s | were uh there's you you know like there |
| 810s | there's all sorts of things we're |
| 811s | investigating like we're investigating a |
| 812s | timing issue right now um that you know |
| 816s | might be the cause of some rubber |
| 818s | banding stuff and you know there's |
| 821s | there's it's a lot of boring stuff but |
| 823s | like we're definitely working on |
| 825s | improving the overall multiplayer uh |
| 827s | experience so that's like the the time |
| 830s | it takes to load things um the frequency |
| 832s | you have to end up in loading screens uh |
| 834s | how how smooth gameplay is um how clear |
| 837s | gameplay is when when you're in a |
| 839s | multiplayer setting there's all sorts of |
| 841s | little things that were always just like |
| 842s | tweaking and updating like that so yeah |
| 844s | that that's all in the works right |
| 851s | now |
| 859s | oo I think I like I don't think I |
| 863s | actually want war cry here or if I do |
| 865s | want to be war cry totem but like I'm |
| 867s | really looking at frenzy totem looking |
| 869s | at friendy to him right now I I think |
| 871s | that's where we're going to |
| 874s | go I remember something that felt really |
| 877s | fun in Diablo 3 was having random people |
| 879s | join up with you while you're running |
| 880s | content yes uh having haven't you guys |
| 883s | considered possibly adding a way for |
| 884s | people to make their Lobby public uh so |
| 887s | people can freely join them if they want |
| 890s | I know people can uh talk in chat and |
| 892s | party up but how do you feel about |
| 893s | taking out the middleman for people who |
| 895s | want to group up with randoms I I mean |
| 898s | like I I think overall it's a fantastic |
| 901s | idea it is something that we've |
| 902s | considered in the past um it |
| 908s | is it's quite an involved system to add |
| 912s | um I I would say it is it's in the |
| 913s | category of on the table but not in |
| 923s | development um cuz yeah like there's |
| 926s | there's having it be the |
| 930s | H having a system like that be opt out |
| 933s | uh can be can can end up putting players |
| 936s | in a tricky situation a new player's in |
| 938s | a tricky situation um cuz you know |
| 940s | there's there's even even if you try and |
| 942s | prevent it there's always forms of |
| 943s | griefing that can happen um and and you |
| 946s | know sometimes there's uh you know like |
| 950s | that's that's an intended game mechanic |
| 951s | and that's really that's like part of |
| 952s | the game that's fun that's not one of |
| 954s | the intended game mechanics we have so |
| 956s | we we kind of have to be a little bit |
| 958s | careful not to accidentally put one of |
| 960s | those |
| 961s | in we don't have to we just I just don't |
| 963s | want |
| 976s | to all of the dots just getting pummeled |
| 980s | by Dots here |
| 991s | that was |
| 993s | close I think it' be really cool to have |
| 995s | a system I'm just I'm just realizing |
| 996s | this now as as I'm playing them I think |
| 998s | it' be really cool to have a system |
| 999s | where um like minions could like get |
| 1002s | together and like help revive another |
| 1003s | one or like stabilize it so like the bar |
| 1005s | didn't go down or something like that I |
| 1006s | think that would be cool are there any |
| 1008s | uniques you felt like that really missed |
| 1012s | the mark in terms of design and |
| 1014s | alternatively ones you really uh nailed |
| 1017s | it out of the park um yeah there's |
| 1019s | there's definitely you know that that |
| 1021s | that happens all the time for sure uh |
| 1023s | both of those things and |
| 1026s | um I think frequently we will go back |
| 1029s | and and edit things uh and update things |
| 1032s | to like |
| 1035s | um to to to hopefully bring them into |
| 1037s | the latter category there um you know |
| 1040s | there's some some uniques that I think |
| 1041s | from day one have really done well like |
| 1043s | ex sanguinous uh I I would call it as uh |
| 1046s | a unique that really hit the mark um |
| 1049s | atically and uh gameplay-wise uh it does |
| 1053s | really well it is um part of a very |
| 1056s | overpowered strategy right now but |
| 1058s | that's not the unique item's fault um |
| 1062s | and so yeah like there's yeah there's a |
| 1064s | few those like that that are like a |
| 1066s | feels it it really evokes that feeling |
| 1068s | it really it ends up being like a |
| 1069s | Cornerstone of uh of a build um those |
| 1073s | those feel really good to me so like um |
| 1075s | Herold the Scurry I'd put in that |
| 1077s | category um |
| 1080s | and then you know like there's there's |
| 1081s | like some some like thematic ones that |
| 1082s | are just fun like keeper gloves this |
| 1084s | this one I think this unique I think is |
| 1085s | really actually a great unique even |
| 1087s | though it's not um super powerful people |
| 1090s | aren't like clamoring to find it it's |
| 1092s | not like a a big ticket item or anything |
| 1093s | like that but it's it's a really um I |
| 1096s | think this is a well-made unique because |
| 1098s | it is uh it's |
| 1100s | really it's really quick to understand |
| 1103s | it's really obvious what it does um it |
| 1105s | it also just like it feels it's concise |
| 1108s | and it gets the point across and I don't |
| 1110s | know it's it's fun I really like this |
| 1114s | unique |
| 1116s | um uniques that miss the mark most of |
| 1119s | the time we've actually gone back and |
| 1120s | changed them so they're like things that |
| 1123s | don't miss the mark quite as much |
| 1125s | anymore um I would suggest you know |
| 1128s | think oh what comes to mind like um snow |
| 1131s | blind comes to mind that one really |
| 1133s | missed the Mark |
| 1137s | um yeah some's coming to mind right now |
| 1140s | but yeah there there's there's decayed |
| 1142s | skull |
| 1146s | um what else yeah not not kind of |
| 1149s | blanking a bit here but yeah like |
| 1150s | there's there's um definitely definitely |
| 1153s | Lots in both both of those |
| 1156s | categories uh what upcoming feature are |
| 1158s | you currently working on uh and was |
| 1160s | already announced in the road map are |
| 1162s | you looking forward to the most and |
| 1164s | which one do H think is the most |
| 1165s | important to the game wow lots of things |
| 1167s | there so what upcoming feature are you |
| 1168s | currently working on |
| 1170s | um I am you know like a lot |
| 1173s | of uh a lot of bug fixing right now for |
| 1176s | me that's kind of all I've been working |
| 1177s | on lately uh is just bug fixing bug |
| 1179s | fixing bug fixing um which is great |
| 1187s | um I'm I'm I'm working on I've also been |
| 1190s | working on lately the uh is on the road |
| 1194s | yeah Harbinger Nemesis and Pinnacle boss |
| 1197s | uh systems |
| 1204s | uh looking what am I looking forward to |
| 1206s | the most on the road map that was |
| 1207s | currently I mean the I I always look |
| 1209s | forward to the things that are like |
| 1213s | um uh that we're actively working on and |
| 1217s | are like coming soon um but the the one |
| 1220s | that I think I'm actually looking |
| 1221s | forward to the most is like the least |
| 1223s | explained one on there and the farthest |
| 1224s | one out which is the uh on on 1.4 the |
| 1228s | one that like the pict of 1.4 is |
| 1230s | probably what I'm what I'm most |
| 1231s | personally excited |
| 1233s | about uh and what do I think is the most |
| 1235s | important I think the most important is |
| 1237s | just all the endgame updates that we've |
| 1238s | got and that's why basically every |
| 1240s | single one I literally every single one |
| 1241s | of those um those patches those uh 1.1 |
| 1245s | through 1.4 patches they all have an end |
| 1247s | game element to |
| 1253s | them yeah so I think the the end game |
| 1255s | element to each of those is the most |
| 1256s | important |
| 1260s | uh will there be new supporter packs in |
| 1261s | cycle 2 maybe some more packed um some |
| 1264s | more packed than current ones I don't |
| 1265s | think there's new supporter packs in 1.2 |
| 1268s | I think the new or 1.1 I think the new |
| 1270s | supporter packs are coming a little bit |
| 1272s | after that I'm not 100% sure |
| 1277s | though there are new MTX coming in 1.1 |
| 1280s | though |
| 1290s | when when you guys add the Barbarian |
| 1293s | class can you make Mike the character |
| 1295s | model I would love to um but you know |
| 1300s | like |
| 1303s | uh I I don't want to |
| 1306s | um suggest that it will be or won't be |
| 1310s | coming or be its own class or a master |
| 1312s | class or any of those things you know |
| 1315s | it's it's all all possible still um but |
| 1318s | I I think Barbarian is a uh like a an |
| 1322s | archetype that we've we've not dived too |
| 1326s | deep into it's sort of that like |
| 1330s | um just that that brute class that's |
| 1333s | just I'm I a Hulk smash here we go |
| 1337s | um and I think there's I think there's |
| 1339s | lots of fun design space there still for |
| 1344s | us someday |
| 1353s | all right any due changes when playing |
| 1355s | with people in 1.1 specifically towards |
| 1357s | increasing corruption for everyone in |
| 1359s | the party there are |
| 1361s | um uh yes uh it's not quite as simple as |
| 1366s | just like corruption shared uh it's it's |
| 1369s | like um we're we're utilizing existing |
| 1372s | systems |
| 1373s | to um let players progress their |
| 1377s | corruption uh as as they uh like um with |
| 1382s | a little bit more |
| 1384s | control when playing in a |
| 1387s | party than just no so a lot more control |
| 1392s | um than just |
| 1398s | no all right how many resources would |
| 1400s | you say allocated to upcoming uh |
| 1402s | updating very old skills and masteries |
| 1405s | um I'd say 1.1 is is relatively compared |
| 1409s | to like 1.0 and um you know what what |
| 1412s | future um patches will be i' say 1.1 is |
| 1415s | relatively light on the resource |
| 1416s | allocation for uh for skills and updates |
| 1421s | um uh but there's still quite a |
| 1424s | bit skills skills and masteries is um a |
| 1427s | pretty big part of our um of our |
| 1430s | pipeline in general like it it touches |
| 1431s | on on basically every um pretty well |
| 1436s | every discipline |
| 1439s | that that that gets impacted by those so |
| 1441s | it's it is quite is adding adding any |
| 1444s | new skill is quite a lot and um we |
| 1447s | aren't adding any new skills in 1.1 um |
| 1450s | which is why I say relatively light |
| 1451s | because um this is going to be the first |
| 1453s | patch in a long time that we haven't |
| 1454s | actually added a new |
| 1458s | skill but we will be back to adding new |
| 1460s | skills quite quickly so no need to FR |
| 1465s | there uh will there be some Cosmetics |
| 1468s | for Drew forms or Necromancer minions uh |
| 1471s | not in 1.1 but uh yes there will be so |
| 1475s | um those are all skills um and skills |
| 1479s | will be getting Cosmetics um so yes they |
| 1482s | will be they will be getting them but |
| 1484s | it's it's not not quite um not quite |
| 1486s | ready yet skill Cosmetics are not coming |
| 1488s | 1.1 but um once we have that system |
| 1490s | sorted and uh we we'll start pushing out |
| 1493s | skill Cosmetics for all sorts of skills |
| 1495s | which will include transform abilities |
| 1497s | and Minion abilities too you can see the |
| 1501s | um um we we we we we try we put this |
| 1504s | down here to kind of signpost like it's |
| 1507s | coming they're going to happen just not |
| 1515s | yet you're just popped all right aside |
| 1518s | from minor bug fixes any patch plans |
| 1520s | before the new cycle starts no no um but |
| 1523s | between now and Patch it's going to be |
| 1526s | um like it's yeah |
| 1529s | Singularity it's going to be um we |
| 1533s | actually could possibly we're not doing |
| 1535s | hit damage really but almost do that |
| 1539s | um yeah between now and 1.1 um the patch |
| 1544s | the patch notes you'll see will be for |
| 1546s | things like |
| 1549s | um uh will be for things |
| 1552s | like there was some bug that showed up |
| 1554s | that we had to fix because it was |
| 1555s | causing problems uh that's that's kind |
| 1557s | of about it right now |
| 1560s | as so so the like as we're developing |
| 1564s | um and and we we we start we get to the |
| 1567s | we get to the point where |
| 1572s | um uh we get farther and farther down |
| 1575s | the line of development from the the |
| 1578s | current live version of the game it |
| 1580s | becomes uh more and more difficult to |
| 1582s | make changes to that |
| 1585s | specifically uh at the same time as as |
| 1588s | as as the head gets further detached um |
| 1592s | it becomes more difficult to make |
| 1594s | changes efficiently and uh becomes to |
| 1597s | the point where it's just like well it's |
| 1598s | going to take so like the dev time um |
| 1602s | the dev time goes up the dev time |
| 1603s | requirements go up the cost uh goes up |
| 1606s | as you get F farther and F farther down |
| 1608s | the line to make changes that that |
| 1610s | actively go to live at the same time as |
| 1612s | they go to the development match it's |
| 1613s | not it's not huge for a lot of things |
| 1615s | but um if the change is is affected by |
| 1619s | any other changes you've made um then |
| 1621s | you have to make the change twice and |
| 1623s | consider that |
| 1625s | the consider those changes that have |
| 1627s | been made so it's it just gets Messier |
| 1629s | and Messier and Messier the farther you |
| 1630s | get from the current live version on the |
| 1633s | updates you're |
| 1639s | making uh can you touch on the thinking |
| 1642s | behind not letting our very expensive |
| 1645s | stash tabs transfer to Legacy once the |
| 1647s | season ends um |
| 1649s | it sets a precedent that uh would mean |
| 1652s | you'd end up with um so so some someone |
| 1657s | there's there's the extreme Edge case |
| 1658s | that you have to consider that just |
| 1659s | makes it impossible so um you've got 200 |
| 1662s | Max stash tabs period right um you've |
| 1665s | got you've know you've purchased 200 |
| 1667s | stash tabs in Legacy you've purchased |
| 1669s | 200 stash tabs in cycle rollover happens |
| 1672s | what happens |
| 1675s | um we're we're not going to 400 tabs so |
| 1678s | they've got to be removed only |
| 1681s | tabs |
| 1683s | um so there so so like right right right |
| 1687s | right there we we've got to just leave |
| 1689s | it |
| 1690s | um and if we're talking about uh I I |
| 1693s | didn't quite read the whole you I may |
| 1695s | have misread the question so if you're |
| 1696s | asking about um whether or not your |
| 1699s | cycle tabs can stick around for the next |
| 1701s | cycle um I think it oh no it is Legacy |
| 1704s | transfer okay sorry so it is |
| 1706s | specifically for legacy transfer the |
| 1707s | cycle rolling over is specifically |
| 1709s | because we want everyone to start from |
| 1711s | scratch uh thank you for the postp |
| 1714s | attack |
| 1716s | um but yeah it it is you know to keep |
| 1719s | the playing field for new players |
| 1720s | because it is a game mechanic it's not |
| 1722s | because it because it is purchased with |
| 1723s | in-game currency uh the cycle has to |
| 1726s | start from scratch very which I know |
| 1728s | wasn't the question but just adding that |
| 1729s | long |
| 1732s | to uh all right will you eventually add |
| 1734s | anything to the store that can be used |
| 1736s | by offline players too uh maybe we'd |
| 1739s | really like to uh we're still working |
| 1741s | out if that's possible it's |
| 1742s | unfortunately not available at the |
| 1744s | moment |
| 1746s | maybe uh if some specs are currently |
| 1749s | underperforming will you make some of |
| 1751s | them uh intentionally a little |
| 1753s | overpowered in the upcoming cycle to |
| 1754s | entice players to play them or do you |
| 1756s | want 100% balance um we never make |
| 1758s | anything intentionally overpowered um |
| 1761s | but we also don't want 100% balance |
| 1763s | because if everything's completely equal |
| 1765s | then nothing's any good everything's |
| 1766s | terrible like there's there's the flip |
| 1767s | side D if everything is good |
| 1769s | everything's also bad um so we we never |
| 1772s | strive for and it's also impossible to |
| 1775s | to to get to 100% Perfect Balance |
| 1777s | anyways unless you take away all the |
| 1778s | cool stuff um so it's kind of like the |
| 1782s | we we we try our goal is to get to very |
| 1785s | good balance um but our goal is never |
| 1787s | 100% |
| 1790s | balance uh which 1.1 feature have you |
| 1792s | play tested already are you that uh |
| 1796s | which one point feature you have play |
| 1797s | tested already are you most excited |
| 1800s | about |
| 1806s | uh it's a good question actually |
| 1813s | I I think the obvious answer is the |
| 1815s | Pinnacle boss but I really love the |
| 1817s | Nemesis system so I'm going to say |
| 1826s | that me oh |
| 1830s | it's wov together so uh you should do a |
| 1833s | collab with Universal |
| 1835s | Pictures and add a boss cocaine bear or |
| 1839s | one with sci-fi and add roaming boss |
| 1841s | shark |
| 1845s | NATO you know it just cocaine bear and |
| 1848s | shark NATO they both exist on Earth this |
| 1850s | is on a tera the logistics of flying |
| 1852s | them here it just doesn't like I I don't |
| 1855s | know how you could could really sell |
| 1857s | that too well I I don't I don't see how |
| 1859s | that's |
| 1861s | possible is a fun |
| 1864s | idea |
| 1874s | woo right will all gear 3D models be |
| 1878s | adjusted to their 2D models in 1.1 no |
| 1880s | and if not when do you plan to do it |
| 1882s | thank you for your answer um so it's |
| 1883s | it's not a matter of um hey we're going |
| 1886s | to go and do all of these all at once |
| 1889s | um we are updating them and we are |
| 1890s | adding more 3D models so some some of |
| 1892s | them will get new 3D models added in 1.1 |
| 1894s | just as they did in 1.0 as they did in |
| 1896s | 0.92 as they did in 0.91 you know like |
| 1898s | so we we add more every patch um it's |
| 1901s | just we it it takes so much longer to |
| 1905s | add a um add a add a physical 3D model |
| 1909s | for an item than it is to uh just add |
| 1912s | the item itself into the game um and we |
| 1915s | really love adding new uniques so we're |
| 1917s | kind of we're kind of terrible about |
| 1920s | having enough uh about giving modeling |
| 1924s | enough time to catch up um so we're you |
| 1928s | know like we're going to keep adding |
| 1930s | items at a faster rate than we're adding |
| 1932s | the models themselves uh at least for |
| 1934s | now anyways so you'll you'll you'll |
| 1935s | still see items that don't have exact |
| 1937s | onetoone models um but we are working on |
| 1939s | it we are adding more of them every |
| 1941s | every patch so it is an ongoing process |
| 1943s | that we will continue to do uh as we go |
| 1969s | vines on that |
| 1977s | earlier what Vin up sorry if this has |
| 1979s | been asked before that's quite all uh |
| 1982s | but any plans of changing leveling curve |
| 1985s | um it's fun to level 80 and it's just |
| 1987s | too much not casual friendly um well so |
| 1989s | I mean level so uh we don't have any |
| 1991s | major plans to change to adjust the |
| 1992s | leveling curve um we're quite happy with |
| 1995s | where it is right now the game is not |
| 1998s | intended for most characters to hit |
| 2000s | level 100 max level is not an expected |
| 2002s | uh result max level is uh an extra |
| 2006s | stretch goal achievement that uh if you |
| 2008s | really want to push your character and |
| 2010s | and really want to you know like dig in |
| 2011s | and and and and go go hard you can get |
| 2014s | to max level if you want but max level |
| 2016s | is is not intended to be uh an something |
| 2020s | that most characters do at all um even |
| 2022s | people I know that that play thousands |
| 2024s | of hours most of their characters never |
| 2025s | hit um level 100 and um I I think |
| 2029s | that's really a good thing and it's not |
| 2032s | something we're planning on changing um |
| 2034s | you know level 80 you say you hit Level |
| 2035s | around level 80 and that's when things |
| 2037s | start to slow down for leveling that's |
| 2038s | really expected and most of your |
| 2040s | character improvements once you're |
| 2041s | hitting that that level are coming from |
| 2042s | your your gear upgrades that's where the |
| 2045s | bulk of your power is coming from at |
| 2047s | that point and that's that's really very |
| 2049s | much by Design and will continue to be |
| 2051s | that |
| 2057s | way what's the trigger for baby |
| 2059s | scorpions I can't |
| 2062s | remember it's just it's just overtime |
| 2070s | do we have |
| 2073s | any yeah there yeah there's some there's |
| 2075s | something popping |
| 2079s | out |
| 2082s | wonderful oh gosh oh no it's lighting up |
| 2085s | is that bad oh jeez |
| 2088s | Rick this |
| 2091s | isly and that should do |
| 2095s | it this way Point's harder than |
| 2098s | dissipated but no worries all good |
| 2106s | now just in time looks like we've got |
| 2110s | company anyway off you |
| 2114s | go I'll see you on the other |
| 2117s | side sure you |
| 2123s | will absolutely holding my |
| 2126s | breath praying to whatever God you marry |
| 2128s | me and I believe to see Clockwork |
| 2131s | tinkerer IE engineering |
| 2133s | class I I i' love an engineering class I |
| 2136s | think it' be super |
| 2138s | cool hopefully I will see you |
| 2146s | soon engineering class would be sweet um |
| 2149s | I don't I so there's there are a lot |
| 2151s | this is a little little aside here not |
| 2153s | specifically talking about engineering |
| 2154s | class here but there are a lot of like |
| 2157s | class archetypes that |
| 2158s | um I know I've thought |
| 2161s | about you're just |
| 2163s | idly musing about what we're going to do |
| 2165s | and that sort of stuff and um several of |
| 2169s | them have like or I'll be like oh I |
| 2172s | really wish I could add a class that did |
| 2175s | this I can't fit that into any of the |
| 2178s | existing base classes and I can't think |
| 2180s | of three masteries to go with it and |
| 2183s | it's just it's such it's such an awkward |
| 2185s | position of being where you're like it's |
| 2186s | such a great archetype but it's just |
| 2188s | like is it a little too far different um |
| 2192s | from other things that you could |
| 2194s | conceivably put with it so that's that's |
| 2195s | that's a a struggle we have sometimes um |
| 2198s | at least I I have struggled with that |
| 2200s | when I'm thinking about new uh new |
| 2201s | classes and archetypes to build in so |
| 2204s | you're like okay do you try and then |
| 2205s | slip that archetype |
| 2207s | in as like a unique item that sort of |
| 2210s | like transforms the vibe and the feeling |
| 2212s | of a skill or something like that do you |
| 2214s | try and slip that in as um |
| 2218s | all sorts of yeah never mind I'll get |
| 2221s | back to real questions here instead of |
| 2222s | just |
| 2223s | rambling uh do you guys talk about |
| 2225s | having a evade I'm going edit the |
| 2228s | question here having an evade thematic |
| 2230s | for each class yes I'm afraid that major |
| 2233s | acly Dodge rolling which evade uh if |
| 2236s | it's physically rolling might be a |
| 2237s | little awkward yes which is why we call |
| 2239s | it evade not |
| 2240s | roll uh any notable changes in dungeons |
| 2243s | coming in the next cycle |
| 2249s | uh is that coming next cycle that's the |
| 2251s | real question |
| 2255s | uh |
| 2259s | uh I want to say yes but I can't |
| 2262s | remember if it's next cycle or not um so |
| 2265s | I'm going to say maybe and we'll uh come |
| 2269s | back to that |
| 2270s | later on another |
| 2274s | day but yeah they I I har but there are |
| 2278s | certain elements of um dung |
| 2282s | engineering that aren't that aren't |
| 2285s | smooth the like the ux of that process |
| 2288s | is not awesome um there are use cases |
| 2291s | that are not represented well um and and |
| 2294s | things can be clunky there's you can you |
| 2296s | can find yourself in situations where |
| 2298s | you you feel like you're performing a |
| 2299s | task that ends up feeling like a bit of |
| 2300s | a chore um sometimes you can feel a |
| 2302s | little bit too harshly punished um and |
| 2305s | and so there's there's definitely some |
| 2306s | adjustments we want to make to the |
| 2307s | dungeon system and uh we've got some of |
| 2310s | those planned uh earlier than others um |
| 2314s | I can't really go into details on what |
| 2315s | that is yet but but we we are definitely |
| 2318s | looking at adjustments for uh for for |
| 2320s | the dungeon system because we do get a |
| 2321s | significant amount of feedback on that |
| 2323s | and it is something that we really want |
| 2324s | um as a system in general to thrive |
| 2327s | going forward because it is uh A system |
| 2329s | that we want to add on to we want to um |
| 2332s | we want to add on um you know like new |
| 2335s | dungeons that have uh new keys um new |
| 2338s | skips new unique rewards things like |
| 2341s | that so there's there's there's quite a |
| 2342s | few things that we see as pretty common |
| 2344s | suggestions from our community that I'm |
| 2346s | like that would go really well as a |
| 2347s | dungeon reward um but we've kind of got |
| 2349s | to fix the underlying mechanics of |
| 2352s | Dungeons and the flow and the feel of |
| 2354s | that experience before we attack too |
| 2356s | many onto the game still but we we are |
| 2359s | like that system will expand and the um |
| 2363s | I almost used the term that I hate for |
| 2364s | to describe what we're doing to it but |
| 2365s | yes we are improving that ux of it |
| 2374s | uh Aaron trying to cheat at bingo I |
| 2377s | think uh maybe we'll |
| 2381s | see is key ring coming in 1 point1 uh I |
| 2385s | I don't know |
| 2388s | maybe I don't think so it's not |
| 2390s | implemented yet I'll say that it's and |
| 2392s | on our Dev builds we do not have a key |
| 2396s | ring uh weekly quest for transmog please |
| 2399s | I mean it's on the road map |
| 2401s | 1.4 uh is it difficult to balance every |
| 2404s | spec so they all can compete in content |
| 2406s | absolutely one of the worst things for |
| 2408s | me as an arpg player making a spec that |
| 2409s | I can't compete an aspect of the game be |
| 2412s | it pushing uh dungeons or bossing yeah |
| 2415s | so |
| 2416s | um you know I I think |
| 2419s | there's uh there are |
| 2424s | some uh elements that a couple of the |
| 2427s | masteries have been able to dramatically |
| 2431s | exceed the expected uh activities on um |
| 2437s | which I think can make the other ones |
| 2440s | that are doing quite well and are are |
| 2442s | are in the expected range um to not feel |
| 2445s | as well by |
| 2450s | comparison I know you are working on |
| 2452s | character |
| 2453s | customization |
| 2455s | uh vaguely yes |
| 2459s | will it include female/male body choices |
| 2461s | for all classes um we will uh when we |
| 2466s | eventually do uh start getting into |
| 2468s | character customization |
| 2470s | W very far away still um it will include |
| 2475s | body type as one of those uh one of one |
| 2479s | of the one of the things you can |
| 2482s | select |
| 2484s | uh uh in those options so like you want |
| 2488s | like a a big Hulen you know uh large |
| 2494s | frame or like smaller frame you know |
| 2497s | like like there's there's there's the |
| 2498s | things like that will be um part of that |
| 2503s | character customization when we do |
| 2504s | eventually get to |
| 2510s | it I don't I don't know exactly how it's |
| 2513s | going to be explicitly |
| 2516s | worded short answer |
| 2518s | yes uh we have balus and Gaspar might we |
| 2523s | soon see M make an appearance |
| 2527s | uh |
| 2529s | maybe I don't know that would be a |
| 2532s | question for L Master Cal next time we |
| 2535s | do uh a lore |
| 2540s | stream uh will there be steam |
| 2542s | achievements at some point absolutely |
| 2545s | um we are |
| 2549s | a wasn't paying attention at all we are |
| 2552s | uh we are planning on having steam |
| 2554s | achievements added into the game um it's |
| 2556s | going to be a little while so I think |
| 2558s | but |
| 2560s | yeah uh weekly car sheet character sheet |
| 2562s | remind you weekly character sheet |
| 2565s | reminder I'll haunt you till the day I |
| 2567s | get |
| 2569s | it uh |
| 2571s | yeah we're working on it um you know |
| 2576s | there's there's little updates that are |
| 2577s | happening on it still but uh the the |
| 2579s | full extended character sheet with like |
| 2581s | you know skill specific stuff like that |
| 2582s | is still |
| 2584s | um uh still in the conceptual phase we |
| 2588s | did just hire a |
| 2591s | uh dedicated UI |
| 2594s | developer so |
| 2598s | um we'll have we'll have more more UI |
| 2600s | stuff will be getting worked on by |
| 2602s | someone much better than me |
| 2606s | um in in the future uh the the the big |
| 2610s | piece that's holding that uh that |
| 2612s | specific feature up though is more um |
| 2616s | the |
| 2617s | data required to populate it with is um |
| 2622s | we still have a great way of generating |
| 2624s | all that data really |
| 2626s | accurately |
| 2628s | um and and when we do eventually add |
| 2631s | that we we kind of want that data to be |
| 2632s | pretty |
| 2635s | accurate which I know might seem kind of |
| 2637s | weird so much stuff is populated on the |
| 2641s | Fly um just because there's so many |
| 2644s | options and so many ways things can be |
| 2645s | specialized a lot of is generated on the |
| 2660s | fly all right on the upcoming |
| 2664s | cycle |
| 2666s | there uh I think it's will be any |
| 2669s | balance changes to Paladin Healing Hands |
| 2673s | um I have I have enjoyed I have enjoyed |
| 2676s | so much that build I played 105 days |
| 2678s | straight great game that yes I I mean um |
| 2682s | if if there's something that's pretty |
| 2685s | obviously uh you know significantly |
| 2688s | overpowered or significantly |
| 2689s | underpowered or something that is very |
| 2691s | pretty obviously like not just doesn't |
| 2693s | feel well to play there's probably a |
| 2695s | good chance there's going to be updates |
| 2696s | to it coming in the next patch |
| 2700s | um Healing Hands this was 1.0 was the |
| 2703s | very first patch that one that Healing |
| 2705s | Hands came out in um so so yeah there's |
| 2709s | a |
| 2710s | uh I would say a a better than even |
| 2713s | odd's chance that they'll be updates to |
| 2715s | Healing |
| 2722s | Hand look at that 60 some OD stacks of |
| 2724s | poison |
| 2727s | pedals |
| 2735s | torch that was a |
| 2745s | mistake we'll stash some stuff until |
| 2753s | then this useful for us in this build |
| 2755s | actually |
| 2780s | no uh what is your stance on some |
| 2783s | classes using so many of their skill |
| 2785s | slots for passive skills for example |
| 2787s | Paladin uh usually used up three for |
| 2790s | passes one for movement one for attack |
| 2791s | many others are similar that makes the |
| 2793s | combat a bit stale oh y I mean we do um |
| 2797s | I I think it's very natural for people |
| 2800s | to |
| 2804s | um make builds that way you know like we |
| 2808s | we we frequently put nodes in |
| 2812s | um in in like passive tree and skill |
| 2815s | trees all we we we frequently know what |
| 2817s | good example of this in in great example |
| 2819s | in SEL off top of my head |
| 2825s | um okay well in Sentinel there's a node |
| 2827s | I think it's right here right here it's |
| 2829s | one of these two spots in Sentinel um |
| 2831s | and it's it basically says like whenever |
| 2833s | you connect with a zeroc cost melee |
| 2836s | skill uh you get health and Mana back |
| 2838s | and it turns all of your spammable melee |
| 2841s | skills into Mana |
| 2842s | generators um that you can then take a |
| 2846s | bigger um um a bigger mana ability and |
| 2851s | uh drop that |
| 2853s | into uh into the build so you have a |
| 2855s | Mana spender and a Mana generator so |
| 2856s | like you know like we we do put things |
| 2859s | in the game to incentivize using |
| 2861s | multiple abilities um we'll put ties |
| 2863s | between melee abilities and things like |
| 2865s | different attack abilities that uh you |
| 2868s | know I I think we we do push the the use |
| 2871s | more skills more often um and I think |
| 2874s | that adding evade to the game is going |
| 2875s | to actually help um open that up a |
| 2878s | little bit more as well also there's a |
| 2879s | poll going on oh the poll just ended |
| 2880s | wonderful oh that was that was |
| 2885s | tight only 17 votes in the poll oh I |
| 2888s | should have announced that poll okay |
| 2889s | well we did |
| 2894s | it I should I should have said it out |
| 2896s | loud there's way more than 17 people |
| 2898s | watching but yeah uh that's okay well |
| 2899s | next one we'll get more people in on um |
| 2902s | we have a winner for our |
| 2905s | next uh for our teaser |
| 2909s | we got another one don't |
| 2913s | worry just going to make sure I |
| 2920s | uh going to double check and make sure I |
| 2922s | pick the right |
| 2935s | one yeah didn't Forge guard |
| 2938s | let's make a little |
| 2940s | bigger shall |
| 2943s | we shall |
| 2950s | we boom all right so we've got a new |
| 2952s | node uh for |
| 2956s | javelineer throwing attack critical |
| 2958s | multiplier plus 10% per point six points |
| 2961s | available in the node this is a level a |
| 2963s | 40 Point passive so this is above the |
| 2965s | lock line so this for spefic specific |
| 2967s | you can't get this on anyone else uh |
| 2969s | then it has a threshold node for a |
| 2971s | fourpoint bonus your throwing attacks |
| 2972s | have additional base Critical Strike |
| 2975s | chance per five points of dexterity |
| 2978s | throwing critical |
| 2979s | chance again at 1% per five points of |
| 2985s | dexterity that's base crit chance which |
| 2987s | is a |
| 2995s | lot I'm just going to |
| 2998s | I if I shrink this down and I slip it |
| 3000s | over there can people is that is that |
| 3002s | good or bad putting it over |
| 3016s | there not great too small I'm assuming |
| 3033s | little bit more |
| 3037s | visible all right we're going to keep |
| 3045s | going questions I just saw one from a |
| 3048s | new chat for when's the next week patch |
| 3050s | July |
| 3051s | 9th all right talking about archetypes a |
| 3053s | beekeeper should be a thing maybe with |
| 3056s | spring yeah so |
| 3058s | so the the more I want to say Mei builds |
| 3063s | were a little bit uh conservative when |
| 3065s | it comes to Mimi builds |
| 3068s | um like like meme Mimi with a y not me I |
| 3073s | me anyways um me meeme builds were were |
| 3077s | were usually a little bit more |
| 3078s | conservative on the power level four |
| 3083s | um there's there's definitely no |
| 3086s | shortage of |
| 3087s | ideas for be themed things to kind of |
| 3090s | move |
| 3098s | so these are |
| 3104s | awesome I we're kind of playing the B |
| 3106s | build right |
| 3112s | now got we've got our we got our bees |
| 3114s | and our and our be friends got all sorts |
| 3116s | of bees |
| 3118s | all right will you revisit older classes |
| 3120s | to make them up to par with newer |
| 3122s | classes when it comes to skill |
| 3123s | interactions Etc warlock GRE Master |
| 3125s | Falconer on a whole other level than for |
| 3127s | example Sentinel yeah um I mean we we we |
| 3130s | update every time we update a new uh an |
| 3133s | old skill one of the things we |
| 3134s | definitely try to work in is um inter |
| 3137s | skill interactions So like um when you |
| 3140s | use a what happens to to be things like |
| 3143s | that or or you know like um sometimes |
| 3145s | they're less explicit so sometimes it'll |
| 3147s | be like grants you a um whenever you use |
| 3150s | this ability it grants you a melee buff |
| 3152s | but it's like a spell so like it um you |
| 3155s | know things like that so we we try to um |
| 3159s | do specific and generic skill |
| 3161s | interactions whenever we update skills |
| 3163s | um and we are constantly updating old |
| 3165s | skills um so like I said there's there's |
| 3167s | no new skills coming uh in this patch |
| 3169s | but we are updating old skills um and |
| 3172s | and we are adding new interactions |
| 3181s | yeah sometimes those come in the form of |
| 3183s | you know passive nodes skill tree nodes |
| 3186s | uh unique items um sometimes they're you |
| 3190s | know there can be those things can come |
| 3193s | from all sorts of places that don't |
| 3194s | really feel like they're the obvious |
| 3197s | place to put them always um sometimes |
| 3199s | it's as simple as like uh moving an AIX |
| 3202s | from a prefix to a suffix and that like |
| 3204s | opens up a new interaction |
| 3209s | or sometimes it's like adding a new |
| 3210s | suffix um like we just added some new |
| 3212s | weapon suffixes that I think open up |
| 3214s | some new options in |
| 3216s | 1.0 |
| 3218s | yeah all right the Rune of removal seems |
| 3221s | to me uh the least fun room to use one |
| 3224s | and four chance of removing the T6 t7 |
| 3226s | AIC and normally eats up a huge amount |
| 3228s | of Fortune potential when you do succeed |
| 3230s | in moving the aics you want is there any |
| 3231s | chance of reworking this room um I I |
| 3235s | don't think so it does provide a very |
| 3237s | specific and Powerful function um so |
| 3242s | think the the the core you know style of |
| 3244s | what it does and what it costs is is |
| 3246s | likely going to stay roughly pretty |
| 3247s | similar um you know maybe that maybe |
| 3251s | it's possible that the the for potential |
| 3253s | cost a little too high or you know maybe |
| 3255s | it's possible that there needs to be |
| 3257s | some way to influence if it's a prefix |
| 3259s | or a suffix something like that and I've |
| 3260s | seen lots of suggestions along those |
| 3261s | categories from from our community um |
| 3263s | but you know like the the general idea |
| 3265s | of how it works and you know the the |
| 3268s | power level that it's at we're very |
| 3270s | happy with that because it is quite |
| 3271s | powerful |
| 3274s | still there's there's uh this is |
| 3276s | something I talked about last week a |
| 3277s | little bit too there's a danger in uh |
| 3280s | increasing the control of like the the |
| 3283s | the specific granular control that you |
| 3284s | have over an item uh too |
| 3287s | much um it |
| 3290s | can leave an expectation of uh like what |
| 3296s | you can do to it like there's some some |
| 3298s | days there's like too many steps you |
| 3299s | have to take to make the item good um |
| 3301s | and so we're really trying to make sure |
| 3302s | we find that balance and if it's |
| 3304s | expected that you can always like um use |
| 3307s | removals to like get specific aices off |
| 3309s | or something like that then then it's |
| 3311s | just |
| 3312s | like you know like craft an item from |
| 3315s | scratch doing whatever sometimes you we |
| 3317s | we we we really like having those items |
| 3320s | on your journey to um like super endgame |
| 3323s | content those items where you're like |
| 3325s | this is a sweet item but like like it's |
| 3327s | got a one way set ax on it and like so |
| 3329s | there's like a really clear and obvious |
| 3330s | upgrade path for that item so you're not |
| 3332s | um you're not always just jumping right |
| 3334s | to the end and you have those those |
| 3335s | stepping stone items that you do |
| 3341s | find |
| 3347s | uh there's that frenzy totem we're going |
| 3349s | to switch that out uh I think it's going |
| 3351s | to be our last building we're going to |
| 3352s | try |
| 3354s | it right if it won't you I'd still be in |
| 3358s | the dreadn or Worse I'd be making |
| 3361s | friends with Sak's victims wouldn't be |
| 3364s | as |
| 3365s | pretty uh all right what are your |
| 3367s | thoughts in regards |
| 3370s | to my audio I've been mocking about with |
| 3374s | oh |
| 3375s | sweet love |
| 3377s | it uh what are your thoughts in regards |
| 3380s | to coff Unique explosions I feel it |
| 3383s | diminishes the excitement of finding a |
| 3384s | nice item because drops are very densed |
| 3387s | in time going through 20 helmet drops to |
| 3389s | see if a good one feels like a job yeah |
| 3391s | I think the |
| 3393s | um I think |
| 3395s | we when we added in the like |
| 3400s | significant uh you know |
| 3404s | like adding in trade was a huge power |
| 3407s | spike in item acquisition and we kind of |
| 3409s | had to give coff a lot to even be |
| 3412s | relevant |
| 3415s | um the |
| 3417s | I I I don't think it's quite I think |
| 3420s | you've identified a problem um that we |
| 3422s | are looking at uh ways to help alleviate |
| 3426s | um I think there's because of the huge |
| 3429s | amount of drops that happen all at once |
| 3430s | with coof there is it does it does um |
| 3434s | put pressure on the filtering system um |
| 3437s | to be to be more granular to allow more |
| 3440s | specific filtering to happen for unique |
| 3441s | items um I think that will you know |
| 3444s | alleviate some of the pressure there um |
| 3447s | there's other changes we're looking at |
| 3448s | making as well in in the item factions |
| 3450s | in general |
| 3452s | um that that I think will help as well |
| 3454s | but |
| 3455s | yeah we're still we're still working on |
| 3457s | some of the things we're changing on |
| 3459s | that for 1.1 so it's kind of hard to |
| 3461s | talk about yet |
| 3464s | sorry but yeah there there's there's |
| 3466s | definitely an an issue |
| 3473s | there uh could we get some quality of |
| 3476s | life from improvements for searching |
| 3477s | inside of stash for factions or for |
| 3480s | factions before cycle 1.1 before cycle |
| 3482s | 1.1 no I'm sorry uh will the ultimate |
| 3485s | edition upgrade always be available for |
| 3486s | purchase um it we don't have any plans |
| 3489s | of removing it um always is a long time |
| 3494s | uh I would say if if we |
| 3496s | are um if we are ever planning on |
| 3500s | removing it um there'd be a pretty |
| 3503s | big uh like it's going over away in at |
| 3507s | on this date type of announcement like |
| 3509s | if you want it here's your here's a a |
| 3511s | big lead time advance to be like you |
| 3514s | know it's it's going away or something |
| 3515s | like that or or maybe we try and like |
| 3517s | incorporate the things so they weren't |
| 3518s | Gone Forever type thing um we we know |
| 3521s | there's |
| 3523s | a we we don't want it to be |
| 3526s | a |
| 3530s | um uh it's not designed as a Time gated |
| 3533s | thing it's not like a get it while it's |
| 3534s | here type of offer where it's it's it's |
| 3538s | you know designed to be a uh very |
| 3541s | long-term |
| 3549s | thing uh can we please remove the bound |
| 3552s | to faction mechanic at least for legacy |
| 3553s | please no uh do you talk about possible |
| 3557s | housing slideout feature uh we have |
| 3559s | talked about this in the past |
| 3562s | um the tldr of what we've talked about |
| 3565s | in the past I guess is |
| 3567s | uh kind of like we aren't really super |
| 3570s | interested in adding a new Zone uh to |
| 3574s | split people up too much and get people |
| 3575s | out of you know some some more shared |
| 3577s | zones possibly um at the same time it |
| 3580s | does provide uh you know like it's it's |
| 3584s | fun that alone is usually enough to just |
| 3586s | get something into the game it's just |
| 3588s | fun um I think having a way to maybe |
| 3592s | customize something uh visually and |
| 3595s | share that off sh that off to like like |
| 3596s | friends or randoms that you group up |
| 3598s | with is a really positive experience um |
| 3601s | having a reason to go to whatever that |
| 3603s | location is is important and because I I |
| 3606s | think that one of the like if we're |
| 3609s | going to like look let's look at Poe as |
| 3610s | an example they they have a great |
| 3612s | Hideout system that's you know there's |
| 3614s | so much customization that can happen |
| 3615s | there and awesome um and one of the ways |
| 3618s | that you get people to go there is |
| 3620s | through the trading system our trading |
| 3622s | system primarily revolves around uh a |
| 3624s | separate third party Zone that you don't |
| 3625s | have it's a so you don't have to be |
| 3627s | there together you don't go to the |
| 3628s | person zone so you wouldn't be forced to |
| 3630s | um or incentivized I should say to |
| 3632s | travel to their specific area to show it |
| 3634s | off and share all that sort of stuff so |
| 3636s | it's a little less special |
| 3639s | um I |
| 3641s | I I think there's probably ways we could |
| 3644s | do it there's probably room for it |
| 3647s | um when it's not something we're |
| 3648s | focusing on right |
| 3651s | now uh sorry if it's an as for that's |
| 3655s | okay but are there any plans to |
| 3656s | implement if it's R dlss yes this is we |
| 3658s | talked about earlier um this is one of |
| 3660s | the things that is um required to do an |
| 3662s | engine upgrade to make work so um we are |
| 3666s | in the middle of that engine upgrade |
| 3667s | right now |
| 3669s | um it's going to be a while still I you |
| 3672s | know like this is not a 1.1 thing tell |
| 3674s | you that for sure for sure um you know |
| 3678s | if if it goes absolutely perfectly and |
| 3681s | like everything from here and out is |
| 3682s | just like oh it works it works it works |
| 3683s | which it won't I'd still be surprised if |
| 3685s | it was even one point point2 type thing |
| 3687s | you know so so we're we're a little ways |
| 3689s | off still from it but um it is something |
| 3691s | we are still working |
| 3695s | on uh would you agree that Ward is |
| 3698s | overpowered at the moment yes I've said |
| 3699s | so many times on the stream I'll say it |
| 3701s | again Ward is overpowered at the |
| 3703s | moment uh is there any plans to make |
| 3706s | more detail istic item inventory view |
| 3710s | that items in |
| 3712s | inventory uh look |
| 3715s | equipped look bigger and more detail |
| 3718s | like in D2 and |
| 3722s | po oh like um I I know what you're |
| 3725s | saying sorry uh I got it uh like like a |
| 3730s | um like like a dressing room type thing |
| 3732s | like a change like a a wardrobe where |
| 3734s | you can like see like a big picture of |
| 3736s | what it looks like and like rotate like |
| 3738s | um kind of like the character select |
| 3739s | screen actually does I guess |
| 3745s | um not specifically know but um you know |
| 3749s | it's |
| 3752s | possible all right without spilling any |
| 3754s | details are there any |
| 3756s | changes uh we could expect to loot |
| 3758s | filter functionality for 1.1 |
| 3762s | yes uh yeah there are updates to loot |
| 3764s | filter coming in |
| 3767s | 1.1 uh is there any channeling I was |
| 3770s | also there's something that we wanted to |
| 3771s | change the loot filter 1.1 that didn't |
| 3773s | work uh and is not getting in 1.1 but |
| 3776s | we're still working on it for later so |
| 3778s | uh any changes that do come in 1.1 Li |
| 3779s | filter are not the last changes to 1.1 |
| 3782s | or not the it's not done we're going to |
| 3784s | keep updating it and keep expanding it |
| 3785s | and there's um I pressures from other |
| 3787s | systems will cause us to have new design |
| 3790s | changes that we decide to make as well |
| 3791s | in the future but yeah it is uh evolving |
| 3794s | and growing |
| 3797s | still uh is there any channeling build |
| 3799s | update rework to resemble D4 lightning |
| 3802s | storm or incinerate like builds for |
| 3803s | channeling enjoyers I haven't played |
| 3805s | those builds in D for yet um so I can't |
| 3807s | say specifically with relation to that |
| 3809s | but we do have changes specifically to |
| 3811s | some channeling skills |
| 3814s | um |
| 3818s | and other |
| 3820s | similar issue skills that have other |
| 3822s | similar issues |
| 3823s | too uh channeling you you may notice |
| 3827s | that our most recent channeling ability |
| 3829s | um plays a lot better than our old |
| 3832s | channeling abilities um so uh uh ghost |
| 3837s | flame that we called it is that we ended |
| 3839s | up calling |
| 3843s | it uh the the new warlock one it was |
| 3847s | called ghost L FL for a while if it's |
| 3849s | not still called ghost L blanking on the |
| 3850s | new name |
| 3858s | um her her fits thank you appreciate it |
| 3864s | uh the um Good Luck |
| 3868s | the uh I'm assuming you can still hear |
| 3870s | me but maybe |
| 3872s | not |
| 3879s | um I can't type in |
| 3892s | there okay cool um |
| 3898s | answering questions that's what I'm |
| 3901s | doing uh channeling abilities that's |
| 3903s | what we're talking about yeah so yeah we |
| 3904s | we we are we we are looking at |
| 3906s | channeling abilities |
| 3910s | um uh and they'll |
| 3913s | be |
| 3915s | um you I I don't want to go too high on |
| 3918s | the changes that are being made there |
| 3919s | but yes that that is something that's |
| 3920s | it's being it is being looked at uh in |
| 3923s | general um and we're still working on |
| 3925s | how best opdate channeling |
| 3928s | abilities probably the best way to say |
| 3930s | that all right can we expect more |
| 3931s | changes to Mastery passives like more |
| 3933s | thresholds yes you can um as as you can |
| 3936s | see right here um more threshold nodes |
| 3939s | are coming to classes that don't have a |
| 3941s | ton of threshold |
| 3944s | nodes all right will Cycles contain |
| 3947s | content and core systems or will you |
| 3950s | begin implementing cycle specific |
| 3951s | mechanics in order to test new |
| 3953s | experimental features in the future um |
| 3955s | the the uh the first few Cycles at least |
| 3959s | um we do plan all of the features that |
| 3962s | you see um in the first few Cycles are |
| 3965s | being designed as core cycle or as core |
| 3969s | game mechanics um right out of the box |
| 3972s | so these are things that we are we're |
| 3974s | like this is this is going to be a core |
| 3976s | mechanic um and we're designing it as a |
| 3978s | core mechanic and we're like that's |
| 3980s | that's the plan with all these um the at |
| 3982s | least the early on ones we're doing um |
| 3985s | we do |
| 3989s | um we do |
| 3993s | uh um sorry people are sending me |
| 3997s | messages uh we do plan on having um |
| 4000s | cycle specific mechanics in the future |
| 4002s | um I don't know when that's going to |
| 4004s | start so like um as an example we've |
| 4007s | even looked at having temporary time |
| 4010s | gated mechanics in the poll we sent out |
| 4013s | recently um |
| 4017s | uh I don't know if I the Poll finished I |
| 4019s | don't know what we're doing with the |
| 4020s | results on that I hope we can share some |
| 4021s | of those results we'll see we'll see |
| 4023s | about that later but um yeah like so we |
| 4026s | we with with our most with our |
| 4028s | announcement uh last big announcement |
| 4030s | went out we did also send out a survey |
| 4032s | to |
| 4034s | um uh to to like find out what people |
| 4038s | want to do with time gting mechanics |
| 4040s | temporary time G mechanics permanent |
| 4041s | time G Mechanics for cycle content um so |
| 4045s | yeah that's that's all on the table and |
| 4046s | we're very open to feedback on what |
| 4048s | people |
| 4051s | want all right are there more graphical |
| 4054s | improvements coming along the way that |
| 4056s | are similar to the difference between |
| 4057s | 0.9 and 1.0 0.9 to 1.0 was a big 0.90 to |
| 4060s | 1.0 was a big jump um I we're definitely |
| 4064s | still working on it there's definitely |
| 4065s | updates coming I don't know if we'll see |
| 4066s | a jump that big anytime soon um but you |
| 4071s | know like uh there's there's there's |
| 4074s | there's always there's always stuff |
| 4075s | that's getting updated with the graphics |
| 4076s | and the visuals whether that's from just |
| 4078s | as simple as like individual um like |
| 4080s | weak points being addressed like old DFX |
| 4082s | or old enemy models or animations that |
| 4085s | are lacking or um like sound effects and |
| 4088s | uh like all these things that are just |
| 4090s | like maybe for something we haven't |
| 4091s | worked on in a while it's getting a |
| 4092s | little dated and we want to update it |
| 4093s | because we're just better at doing it |
| 4094s | now than we were when we did it |
| 4097s | um giant systemwide updates are going to |
| 4102s | be fewer frequency than they were |
| 4106s | leading up to here type thing but you |
| 4107s | know we're still working on those things |
| 4108s | and if there's a big breakthrough that |
| 4109s | happens yeah we'll we'll implement |
| 4112s | it are you happy with the complexity uh |
| 4115s | the level of complexity of crafting |
| 4117s | itemization Etc I'm happy that I don't |
| 4119s | need a PhD to actually be decent at |
| 4121s | crafting and such yeah we we do try |
| 4123s | really hard to make things um like the |
| 4127s | the what's the old adage easy to learn |
| 4128s | hard to master so we want people who are |
| 4131s | um who are you know just hopping in to |
| 4133s | play with uh a friend for |
| 4136s | uh the campaign and never dive into |
| 4138s | endgame at all we want those people to |
| 4139s | be able to engage with things like |
| 4141s | crafting and make decisions on what |
| 4143s | items they want to wear and be happy |
| 4144s | with the results of those decisions um |
| 4147s | but then at the same time we want |
| 4148s | players who have that thousand hours |
| 4151s | played and they're like they know the |
| 4153s | game inside and out and they're they're |
| 4154s | still able to um you know make those |
| 4157s | micro optimizations that that help get |
| 4159s | them to just a little bit higher on the |
| 4160s | ladder and things like that so so yeah |
| 4163s | um we are really happy with where it is |
| 4165s | uh and we are |
| 4168s | um uh you know still making little |
| 4171s | adjustments to that as we |
| 4174s | go the depth to complexity ratio is |
| 4177s | something we we take very |
| 4180s | seriously uh right will you add |
| 4183s | adjustment slm movement skill to Prim |
| 4186s | list because Fury leap feels like flying |
| 4188s | with slow motion every class have good |
| 4190s | movement skill by Primal list I would |
| 4191s | strongly disagree I love the Primal less |
| 4193s | Fury leap um but uh I mean we're always |
| 4197s | open to feedback so if you if you've got |
| 4199s | a suggestion for something like to see |
| 4200s | head the |
| 4201s | forums um curious about your thoughts on |
| 4205s | very basic skill nodes which for example |
| 4207s | either give flat damage or flat chance |
| 4209s | to apply an ailment compared to more |
| 4210s | skill altering nodes um do you feel like |
| 4212s | both types of nodes are important to |
| 4214s | have for most skills yeah I definitely |
| 4215s | and and this goes this goes right back |
| 4217s | to the depth complexity um thing so like |
| 4220s | just a node that just um adds I think |
| 4223s | just straight more damage nodes are |
| 4226s | something we we Tred to shy away from |
| 4228s | and something we we've really been |
| 4229s | trying to remove um as we get more and |
| 4232s | more tools to add into abilities we can |
| 4234s | have fewer and fewer of those um but you |
| 4236s | know something as simple like like just |
| 4238s | poison chance on on an ability like that |
| 4240s | doesn't seem like it's it's it isn't |
| 4242s | very complicated it's actually very |
| 4243s | simple um but it can it I think it can |
| 4247s | have pretty decent implications for um |
| 4250s | for character customization and I think |
| 4252s | it's it nodes like that are really |
| 4254s | important to have still |
| 4258s | but like having a node on a tree that's |
| 4261s | like eight points and it's just like 5% |
| 4264s | more damage per Point like that's boring |
| 4266s | that is just boring but |
| 4269s | um you know so we we we try not to have |
| 4271s | as many of those um but you know if |
| 4273s | every single node is a novel um then the |
| 4277s | time to parse that tree and and figure |
| 4280s | out what you want to do can be really uh |
| 4282s | taxing so if you have uh maybe a node |
| 4285s | that's just like like um 20% poison |
| 4287s | chance per point which I know was really |
| 4288s | weak but just like and and you have that |
| 4290s | node lead into another node that like |
| 4292s | works with poison like triggers off |
| 4293s | poison or or there's something more |
| 4295s | complicated happens with poison that |
| 4296s | base poison node before it acts as a |
| 4298s | really good indicator and sign poster |
| 4300s | for you that like hey this is a poison |
| 4302s | area of the tree um and it synergizes |
| 4305s | with the other nodes so you feel good |
| 4306s | about those decisions and you know I |
| 4308s | think it's uh those nodes are really |
| 4310s | important um and we've just got to and I |
| 4314s | think we've been getting better at and |
| 4315s | we've got to get even better at applying |
| 4317s | them |
| 4320s | well all |
| 4322s | right right do you have any plans to |
| 4324s | implement a way to make it easier for |
| 4326s | players to find SL jooin and play with |
| 4328s | each other additionally do you plan to |
| 4329s | implement the ability for shared |
| 4331s | progression in mod of |
| 4333s | completion um so uh Party play ux is a |
| 4338s | very important topic and something that |
| 4339s | we are improving and working on um uh |
| 4343s | direct monolith um um sharing |
| 4346s | progression is not really something that |
| 4350s | we're doing |
| 4351s | um indirect mod progression sharing is |
| 4354s | something we are exploring um so just a |
| 4357s | little bit more systematic and less just |
| 4359s | um it's just happening to everyone deal |
| 4361s | with it uh yeah so we we are exploring |
| 4365s | that a little bit more um as far as like |
| 4366s | getting people into the party to play |
| 4367s | together and things like that it's a |
| 4369s | little lacking uh but we are we are |
| 4371s | looking for that still and we've got a |
| 4373s | wonderful |
| 4375s | uh oh wow uh heavy thank you for the |
| 4378s | resub it is three years 36 months in a |
| 4382s | row very lovely thank you very much |
| 4386s | that's awesome uh it's it's wild that |
| 4389s | there's people that have been here for |
| 4390s | three years already um I can't believe |
| 4393s | we've been streaming that long and it's |
| 4395s | uh every time I see one of those pop up |
| 4397s | it really uh it puts things uh it puts |
| 4400s | things in perspective a little bit with |
| 4401s | how far we've come I think um so thank |
| 4403s | you very much glad you've been with us |
| 4406s | for the |
| 4409s | ride yeah thanks um all right here |
| 4412s | welome back to reading chat directly now |
| 4416s | all |
| 4419s | right I think I think I didn't miss any |
| 4422s | but we'll see uh from your perspective |
| 4425s | as a player which class would you say |
| 4427s | needs the most help uh the same question |
| 4429s | for your perspective as a Dev ooh |
| 4434s | um love I love it's word this way um so |
| 4437s | as a player perspective class that needs |
| 4439s | the most help uh I'm going to say Forge |
| 4441s | guard um as a Dev and this is just this |
| 4444s | is just funny kind of trolling a but the |
| 4447s | class that needs the most help from a de |
| 4448s | perspective is Rune |
| 4452s | Master uh we'll just we'll just let that |
| 4454s | dangle and thank you very much for uh oh |
| 4458s | I am not going to pronounce this right |
| 4461s | good ukil good good good God |
| 4466s | kill bet there's some capitalization |
| 4468s | that makes it so much easier to read I |
| 4471s | feel like it probably means something |
| 4472s | that I'm just like ignorant and missing |
| 4473s | it but that's okay thank you very much |
| 4475s | for the subs that is five gifted Subs to |
| 4477s | the channel congrats to anyone who got |
| 4478s | one of those happy to have you |
| 4482s | here um and also thanks to air for I |
| 4484s | guess uh at the top of the stream |
| 4486s | donating a sub to uh to to their uh PR |
| 4490s | manager |
| 4491s | Kane it's always it's I always find it |
| 4493s | funny when they get a sub so thank you |
| 4496s | very much as |
| 4498s | well all righty |
| 4505s | then I see like the hype train stuff pop |
| 4508s | up on the side I'm like I have no idea |
| 4510s | what this means but |
| 4515s | awesome all right what about letting us |
| 4517s | customize the camp in the monolith we |
| 4519s | spend a lot of time there solo with the |
| 4520s | group I someone suggested that a few |
| 4522s | weeks ago and I was like that's a really |
| 4523s | good suggestion um so maybe who |
| 4529s | knows uh from your |
| 4531s | perspective that uh loot filter Bingo |
| 4536s | nice got him all right that was that was |
| 4539s | that was early that was a while ago I |
| 4540s | think uh any plans for allowing uh the |
| 4543s | loot filter to do comparisons with gear |
| 4545s | we have equipped uh no there's uh |
| 4549s | there's a problem there and it sorry uh |
| 4552s | we we we we we tried once already |
| 4560s | uh are you working on the character mode |
| 4563s | upgrade character mode upgrade if I |
| 4566s | don't know what that is if yes when can |
| 4567s | we expect it what classes is it going to |
| 4569s | update the most be updated the |
| 4572s | most uh wait no one please rephrase and |
| 4574s | ask ganks I I have no idea what the |
| 4577s | character mode upgrade is I'm sorry I |
| 4579s | feel like I should know and I'm just |
| 4580s | like there's it's like a slightly |
| 4582s | different term for something I just |
| 4582s | don't know it sorry hi hope you and ichy |
| 4585s | team are all doing well just a broad |
| 4588s | question we're doing pretty good |
| 4589s | actually broad question uh but any cool |
| 4591s | things coming for totems in 1.1 |
| 4593s | everything enjoy Shaman totem builds |
| 4595s | would love to see more totems or updates |
| 4597s | to things upheaval totem or workr totem |
| 4600s | um I I |
| 4603s | uh impossible uh I don't I know there |
| 4607s | was some there's a couple bug fixes I |
| 4608s | saw um I don't know if there's any like |
| 4610s | major changes to those things happening |
| 4612s | um Shaman is still on a pretty high on |
| 4615s | the list in general um still missing a |
| 4618s | skill uh some of the skills that are |
| 4620s | there still not |
| 4622s | quite firing on all cylinders might be |
| 4625s | the best way to put |
| 4628s | it |
| 4629s | empor this way so so I I I can't say |
| 4632s | anything specific but you |
| 4636s | know I I'd say that's a reasonable |
| 4639s | suggestion |
| 4641s | impossible I always forget the zone you |
| 4643s | can't actually jump in it this is the |
| 4645s | one I've been waiting for poison and |
| 4650s | Venom any plans to make the prophecy |
| 4652s | rolling process less tedious SL more |
| 4655s | targeted I often spend 30 plus minutes |
| 4657s | clicking reroll and mousing over |
| 4659s | visually similar prophecies to Target |
| 4661s | something remotely specific |
| 4666s | um I don't I don't have any details on |
| 4670s | that available |
| 4674s | um um |
| 4678s | um there are some changes to uh how |
| 4682s | circle of Fortune Works in general and |
| 4684s | like some of the the like the the tiers |
| 4688s | like the like what you get at each Rank |
| 4690s | and things like that um and how those |
| 4692s | interact with each other |
| 4694s | uh we're still we're still um making |
| 4698s | adjustments to a lot of those so they're |
| 4699s | not quite ready for sharing yet but um |
| 4702s | there's there's there's some stuff there |
| 4722s | dots more |
| 4726s | dots many welps left |
| 4730s | side uh we don't actually care about the |
| 4732s | departure as much we want the |
| 4733s | destination |
| 4738s | uh we don't care that much about flat |
| 4740s | Mana cost we like |
| 4748s | that o piece of |
| 4751s | candy |
| 4755s | uh have you considered playing the dev |
| 4757s | build on stream yes I have two unstable |
| 4760s | uh it's less about too unstable and more |
| 4761s | about just like there's there's a lot of |
| 4763s | things that we're that we work on um and |
| 4766s | we'll like put a version into the dev |
| 4768s | build and we'll say like okay like this |
| 4770s | is like really for testing and we're |
| 4773s | like we're we're really trying |
| 4775s | to uh like like feel like how does this |
| 4779s | feel and things like that and sometimes |
| 4781s | they're things that are really awesome |
| 4784s | uh but they end up not working for one |
| 4786s | reason or another and um if we if we did |
| 4791s | put them out there and then have to |
| 4793s | remove them I might not feel very good |
| 4797s | um and curating a uh a build |
| 4801s | specifically for um you know like and |
| 4804s | and there's lots of placeholder stuff in |
| 4805s | there too so it'll be like just like a |
| 4808s | uh sometimes there's images we put in |
| 4810s | there that like are art for things that |
| 4812s | are like up coming um you know |
| 4816s | it's it it would add like it would add a |
| 4820s | little bit too much uh like Dev time to |
| 4823s | make a version that was stable and and |
| 4826s | bug free and spoiler free enough to to |
| 4830s | play |
| 4832s | um confidently I |
| 4841s | think you know maybe |
| 4844s | someday uh are there any combat F |
| 4847s | improvements coming 1.1 yes uh is there |
| 4849s | a possible down the road to make |
| 4853s | dismemberment uh that enemies shatter on |
| 4855s | death when they're frozen that arrows |
| 4857s | stick into enemies when they hit and so |
| 4858s | on yeah I mean that like um that style |
| 4862s | of stuff is all very much on the table |
| 4865s | uh you know I I I can even say that one |
| 4868s | of those things is actively being worked |
| 4870s | on actually |
| 4874s | um |
| 4877s | they're they're quite awesome when they |
| 4881s | work well uh and are not awesome when |
| 4885s | they don't work well and are quite often |
| 4887s | pretty uh Dev time expensive to to make |
| 4890s | work so um you know that's the that's |
| 4893s | the sort of Polish and you know just |
| 4895s | like cool and awesome factor that uh you |
| 4899s | know it's that that that we're really |
| 4901s | looking to to to add into the game the |
| 4903s | extra juice the extra spice and and so |
| 4905s | you know it's it's things like that are |
| 4908s | on the table and we're very interested |
| 4909s | in doing them um I most of the time |
| 4913s | wouldn't really expect many of those |
| 4915s | types of things but you |
| 4917s | know we're working on |
| 4920s | it all right are there any plans for low |
| 4923s | effects graphical settings of some sort |
| 4925s | for example uh which would remove dead |
| 4927s | bodies excess uh effects and projectiles |
| 4929s | finally remove grass for good Etc |
| 4931s | allowing people with lower uh specs to |
| 4933s | play comfortable FPS yeah there's |
| 4936s | there's this |
| 4937s | um |
| 4942s | like there's sort of this like minimum |
| 4944s | Fidel that we kind of that we that we do |
| 4946s | want the game to have |
| 4949s | um we are working on things like that |
| 4955s | um I don't want to make any promises |
| 4957s | because there are certain things that we |
| 4958s | very intentionally just like don't do |
| 4960s | because we want to hit that minimum uh |
| 4963s | Fidelity tier I guess same |
| 4966s | thing but it's on on the list for for |
| 4971s | especially especially because there's |
| 4973s | like uh we start looking at other |
| 4974s | platforms um so like we've started |
| 4976s | started looking towards um like steam |
| 4979s | deck as an option started looking |
| 4981s | towards other consoles as options too |
| 4982s | and sometimes you can't um especially |
| 4985s | with things like steam deck you can't |
| 4986s | expect you can expect very specific |
| 4988s | power but you can't expect uh high |
| 4991s | powered steam deck CU it doesn't |
| 4997s | exist unless someone's like modded their |
| 5001s | own which I'm sure someone has at this |
| 5003s | point |
| 5006s | I wonder how locked down they are or |
| 5008s | like if the OS is available just like |
| 5010s | slap on some Hardware someone like gets |
| 5011s | in |
| 5012s | there I know that' be |
| 5017s | cool all right if you could go back in |
| 5019s | time and not add something to the game |
| 5022s | you did specific Mastery feature |
| 5024s | whatever what would it be H that is such |
| 5026s | a hard question to answer I have no idea |
| 5031s | um you could if I could go back and not |
| 5033s | add something |
| 5036s | I don't |
| 5036s | know |
| 5045s | um I really like our game |
| 5052s | um I mean like the cop at answers are |
| 5054s | things like I I would not add features |
| 5057s | that we ended up removing to save time |
| 5060s | um but at the same time like you learn |
| 5061s | from those mistakes and so like the game |
| 5063s | is probably better overall because of |
| 5064s | them I don't know uh something I don't |
| 5067s | like now in the game that I want to |
| 5069s | what's something that I want to remove |
| 5070s | from the game |
| 5075s | now okay the something that we are |
| 5078s | removing I'm like uh it's kind of a |
| 5080s | cheaty answer too sorry but um the the |
| 5082s | dynamic boss Dr Dynamic boss Dr was a |
| 5086s | mistake of a system um I think we I |
| 5089s | think it is a really important problem |
| 5090s | that it's trying to solve and we are |
| 5092s | replacing it with a system that will |
| 5094s | hopefully solve that better |
| 5098s | um but yeah uh Dynamic |
| 5102s | boss any updates to lethal |
| 5107s | concentration I don't know what lethal |
| 5109s | concentration what that uh |
| 5123s | maybe oh yeah yeah |
| 5134s | um feel like we were talking about this |
| 5136s | one recently and I can't remember what |
| 5137s | happened with it I don't think there's |
| 5139s | any major changes coming to it I don't |
| 5141s | remember I'm sorry he was in a |
| 5144s | discussion |
| 5152s | recently all right low effect setting |
| 5155s | possible moving oh I already answered |
| 5157s | that uh so we just doing the one teaser |
| 5160s | tonight no we'll do another one okay um |
| 5164s | really soon probably do another poll I |
| 5172s | think K uh if you haven't already |
| 5174s | planned it there it is right there |
| 5176s | there's a poll happening perfect timing |
| 5179s | um if you want to |
| 5181s | see uh a teaser that is related to to |
| 5185s | Mage Shaman or void Knight please vote |
| 5188s | now in the poll running in chat |
| 5192s | um hopefully we get a few more votes |
| 5194s | than last time we're already passed last |
| 5197s | time there we go awesome |
| 5204s | um I I I I will say that I just want to |
| 5207s | show all of these so bad I've seen them |
| 5209s | all I'm like doesn't it doesn't matter |
| 5211s | which one you pick they're all awesome |
| 5214s | um |
| 5215s | and you know we'll we'll |
| 5218s | eventually eventually you'll you'll |
| 5221s | you'll see all these things at some |
| 5223s | point hopefully you don't have to wait |
| 5225s | all the way to |
| 5232s | launch it's a tight race Mage getting |
| 5235s | left in the dust Gan void Knight taking |
| 5239s | early early lead they're fighting it out |
| 5246s | yeah we'll keep going on some questions |
| 5247s | until that gets resolved still got lots |
| 5250s | of time left on that poll so if you |
| 5251s | haven't had a chance to vote please do |
| 5253s | so I will remind you again in a bit uh |
| 5255s | any possibility that the 1.1 patch will |
| 5257s | be ready sooner than the announced July |
| 5258s | 9th no I don't think so um I mean |
| 5261s | there's always a chance I guess but uh |
| 5263s | because we've already made the the date |
| 5264s | announcement um we're there's all sorts |
| 5266s | of planning and things that go into uh |
| 5269s | into the date with localization and |
| 5271s | marketing that um moving those times up |
| 5274s | is is really not feasible or smart so uh |
| 5278s | I I I I really would not expect it to |
| 5280s | come any sooner than |
| 5285s | me all right is your personal time |
| 5287s | account what class you play the most uh |
| 5290s | in your personal time account what class |
| 5292s | do you play the most main or you play it |
| 5294s | all I do play um I I definitely play |
| 5296s | Rogue the most of everything that's like |
| 5299s | um I I don't play a ton cuz I'm usually |
| 5302s | like I've got time to play I've got time |
| 5304s | to fix |
| 5305s | bugs but like if um if one of my friends |
| 5308s | wants to play or something like that or |
| 5310s | you know get a little spare time just to |
| 5311s | relax I'll I'll hop in and just play |
| 5312s | Live sometimes um and uh yeah I play I |
| 5316s | play Rogue the most |
| 5317s | um on on live I have I have a blade |
| 5320s | dancer a falconer and a marksman on live |
| 5323s | um that are all like you know through |
| 5324s | the campaign and end game stuff like |
| 5325s | that but I don't have uh |
| 5330s | um uh I only have one of the other |
| 5332s | classes so yeah Rogue rogue's the clear |
| 5334s | one win for me personally just like the |
| 5336s | play style it's |
| 5340s | fun |
| 5348s | right uh what are your thoughts on echol |
| 5350s | length rushing all the time feels bad |
| 5353s | they really want um uh but that is |
| 5356s | really what they are about any plans for |
| 5358s | longer form content um yeah I mean |
| 5361s | the I think people have been clear that |
| 5365s | they like the bite-sized nature of of |
| 5367s | eeko compared to like cuz we we've had |
| 5369s | longer Echoes and very consistantly the |
| 5373s | longer eeko are the ones that get |
| 5375s | heavily uh negative feedback on them |
| 5379s | like like it's it's every single time uh |
| 5382s | and and and we we shorten Echo length |
| 5383s | and people are like yeah it's great um I |
| 5387s | think what we need to have is we need to |
| 5388s | have organic reasons for people to stick |
| 5392s | around in an echo and consciously decide |
| 5394s | not to to just just move on to the next |
| 5396s | one um and we are definitely uh working |
| 5399s | on ways to do that um there's there's |
| 5401s | various things that will uh that we're |
| 5404s | still adding things we put in the road |
| 5405s | map that will extend your desire to stay |
| 5408s | in an echo because it's efficient |
| 5410s | because it's fun because there's cool |
| 5411s | things to find |
| 5414s | um so |
| 5418s | yeah uh are you planning uh oh yeah uh |
| 5421s | get your vote in for that there's |
| 5425s | like 20% of you that have |
| 5430s | voted if you're fine with any of them |
| 5432s | that's cool |
| 5433s | too uh right are you planning on having |
| 5437s | some bigger open map zones are you happy |
| 5439s | with the current Zone layout SL sizes I |
| 5441s | mean this goes back to what we're just |
| 5443s | talking about I think there's I think |
| 5444s | there's room for some um some bigger |
| 5446s | zones in the campaign especially uh |
| 5448s | where like it changes the gameplay flow |
| 5450s | and feel and all sort of stuff um I |
| 5452s | think there's possibly room for bigger Z |
| 5454s | zones in new endgame activities I don't |
| 5456s | think there's really a ton of room for |
| 5457s | bigger zones in monolith Echoes right |
| 5461s | now which is the primary thing of what |
| 5463s | most people are |
| 5467s | playing all right any updates on |
| 5470s | official steam deck support um we're |
| 5472s | working on it it's about all I got |
| 5476s | sorry all right Shaman is the |
| 5479s | Victor I'll be sharing a shaman teaser |
| 5482s | here |
| 5494s | Center on screen |
| 5510s | and here we are here's a new Shaman pass |
| 5514s | passive |
| 5517s | node gift of the |
| 5519s | Skies eight point passive node increase |
| 5522s | attack speed and cast speed two per |
| 5523s | Point 2% per point plus eight Dodge |
| 5525s | rating per point and a fivepoint |
| 5527s | threshold node when you directly summon |
| 5529s | a totem it gains frenzy for short |
| 5531s | duration totem frenzy |
| 5533s | duration seconds |
| 5539s | three that's it it's pretty sweet |
| 5545s | speaking of which I have not been using |
| 5546s | my frenzy totem like at |
| 5557s | all feels really good when I do use it |
| 5559s | though my goodness okay so note to |
| 5562s | self-use frenzy totem because it's |
| 5564s | great at least in where I am |
| 5570s | now and uh I fulfilled my obligation to |
| 5574s | keep playing the game with a teaser on |
| 5576s | the screen uh because you know I do that |
| 5578s | intentionally now uh it's definitely |
| 5580s | definitely not an |
| 5586s | accident sh this down to the |
| 5589s | corner you can play with that up |
| 5597s | still all right do you also balance |
| 5599s | update based on popularity of the |
| 5601s | Mastery spec um |
| 5605s | when we're triaging which bugs to fix we |
| 5608s | don't uh we don't |
| 5611s | reference |
| 5612s | the |
| 5614s | um it's like we go into the database and |
| 5616s | say okay how many people are playing |
| 5618s | this build at this this this level like |
| 5621s | minimum like who's who's got Shaman to |
| 5623s | minimum this point Who's Got Run Master |
| 5626s | to minimum this point to like check for |
| 5627s | popularity for which things to update or |
| 5629s | things like that no we we don't do that |
| 5631s | um however it kind of indirectly yes um |
| 5635s | just because the things that people play |
| 5637s | more um do have they get more feedback |
| 5640s | they people like to talk about the |
| 5642s | things they're playing so you know if if |
| 5644s | um there's twice as many people playing |
| 5647s | one build than another it will just get |
| 5649s | more attention and we'll end up uh |
| 5652s | modifying it and and touching it more |
| 5653s | just because there's um there's more |
| 5655s | data on it there's more feedback on it |
| 5657s | you know all that sort of stuff so so |
| 5658s | naturally organically yes um but not |
| 5662s | intentionally not directly |
| 5665s | corly all right do you think no weapon |
| 5669s | builds will be viable in the future I |
| 5671s | sure hope so there's already one um two |
| 5675s | I think actually uh you know it's it's |
| 5678s | sort of thing that we I I i' I'd really |
| 5681s | like to see some more creative ways to |
| 5684s | have weaponless builds |
| 5687s | um you know like there's there's there's |
| 5689s | things that we've talked about on stream |
| 5690s | a lot before uh like um like two-handed |
| 5695s | Shield build things like that you know |
| 5696s | like there's there's there's I think |
| 5698s | there's room for creative ways to uh to |
| 5701s | to do to do things like that just for |
| 5703s | the record there's not two-handed |
| 5704s | Shields coming in just to be clear |
| 5707s | there's no plans for that it's something |
| 5709s | that I'd love to see |
| 5721s | personally uh next question I beg of you |
| 5726s | share the void night teaser as |
| 5729s | well keep a weather eye on the |
| 5733s | horizon all right hi I'm 39 years old |
| 5737s | hello I'm also my 30s um and I also have |
| 5741s | health health issues I can't stay seat |
| 5744s | on in front of the PC for more than one |
| 5746s | hour so my question is any plans uh to |
| 5749s | get uh can be playable on Steam deck |
| 5751s | I've tried a few times after some |
| 5753s | seconds the game crashed fres thank you |
| 5755s | yes the game is |
| 5757s | um uh I think we were one of the top |
| 5760s | like two played games on Steam deck the |
| 5762s | month we launched |
| 5764s | um like there there there are settings |
| 5767s | and ways you can tweak the settings to |
| 5770s | get lasto playable well on Steam deck |
| 5772s | right now um it is far from perfect and |
| 5775s | is technically not officially supported |
| 5777s | uh it is something that we are working |
| 5778s | on um the uh I I don't have a steam deck |
| 5783s | so I can't give you like direct advice |
| 5785s | cuz I don't know the exact things but um |
| 5787s | I I see this question pop up on Reddit |
| 5789s | quite frequently um and the general |
| 5792s | reply I see just posted over and over |
| 5793s | again is like go get cry utilities and |
| 5796s | it will fix it and you'll be able to |
| 5798s | play no problem and like turn this |
| 5800s | setting on I proton and turn this other |
| 5802s | setting on and it works great type thing |
| 5804s | like there's there's like there's a |
| 5805s | couple settings you got to tweak um and |
| 5807s | it it works well there are a couple I |
| 5809s | think there's a couple like super super |
| 5812s | mega intense endgame builds that uh that |
| 5814s | that will still cause it to to have |
| 5815s | issues um but there um apart from some |
| 5820s | edge cases you know there's there's a |
| 5822s | lot of people that are using it and it's |
| 5823s | working well for them not perfect and we |
| 5825s | are working on it |
| 5827s | um if you want more specific help with |
| 5829s | that my advice would be uh go to Reddit |
| 5832s | go to our Discord there's an ask the |
| 5834s | community Channel um and I'm there's |
| 5836s | lots of people that are super helpful |
| 5837s | I'm sure one of them will be able to to |
| 5840s | to give you more directed and specific |
| 5842s | advice to get it working um and if |
| 5845s | you're not interested in doing that and |
| 5846s | just want to wait for the official |
| 5847s | version um we are working on it |
| 5858s | too all right any progress on other |
| 5861s | accessibility options like color blind |
| 5863s | options Etc yes |
| 5866s | um the yeah there's there's several |
| 5868s | accessibility sort of axes that we are |
| 5871s | looking at still um and and slowly |
| 5874s | working on uh we definitely we |
| 5878s | definitely want to have much better |
| 5880s | accessibility options than we have now |
| 5882s | that is that's we we we definitely |
| 5884s | categorize accessibility options as a |
| 5886s | weak point for us right |
| 5888s | now um and to everyone who can't play |
| 5890s | because it's missing an accessibility |
| 5892s | option for you I apologize um it is |
| 5894s | something that we are working on um I |
| 5896s | don't have any specifics on when those |
| 5898s | are coming um but you know we are just |
| 5901s | just we are taking steps to to get that |
| 5904s | that |
| 5905s | development rolling you know that's |
| 5908s | something that we |
| 5911s | were we we we prioritized the like core |
| 5915s | gameplay Loop over the accessibility |
| 5916s | options going into 1.0 um which like if |
| 5920s | you need one of those really sucks to he |
| 5922s | and I'm sorry uh but we we we had to we |
| 5926s | had to get the game out the door |
| 5928s | um and you know it's it's one of those |
| 5931s | things where like issues that affect uh |
| 5933s | all players usually get prioritized over |
| 5935s | issues that affect a subset of players |
| 5937s | and that's like it goes for um specific |
| 5940s | classes or specific skills or specific |
| 5942s | items compared to like every single |
| 5945s | player you know and it's the same type |
| 5946s | of prioritization that happens you |
| 5948s | should have seen I've heard of your |
| 5950s | power let's see how you face |
| 5955s | this who are |
| 5960s | you a poison 65 67 I saw I think |
| 5972s | think not bad for |
| 5992s | campaign it's me |
| 6004s | so much |
| 6007s | damage really focus one of them down |
| 6009s | instead of |
| 6021s | flip-flopping got him |
| 6024s | now that |
| 6026s | chance got him you |
| 6029s | pathetic human |
| 6032s | mistake you think you can kill me you |
| 6037s | think you |
| 6039s | can enough come use the |
| 6044s | LA the ls of |
| 6046s | hro where is |

| 6057s | screen all |

| 6086s | to change skills uh like adds four more |
| 6089s | projectiles and makes them shoot out in |

| 6097s | projectile system works and you know all |
| 6100s | all those things they do need to be um |
| 6103s | we we it's very difficult for us to do |
| 6105s | generic uh versions of that um but yes |
| 6111s | you know we we've added we're going to |
| 6113s | keep adding unique items um and you know |
| 6117s | skill transformative unique items are |
| 6119s | some of the most popular and fun so |
| 6121s | we're going to keep adding |
| 6127s | those oh mik read chat gets killed again |
| 6132s | are there plans to add Cosmetics to the |
| 6134s | store at regular intervals or is that on |
| 6136s | the back burner for now yes we will |
| 6137s | continue to add new Cosmetics this to |
| 6140s | the store at the same regular intervals |
| 6141s | we've been doing which is Major patches |
| 6142s | three to four months |
| 6145s | uh would a new weapon type which can |
| 6147s | roll affixes that can affect allies be |
| 6154s | interesting uh I mean |
| 6169s | yes what is our |
| 6173s | we did that fight with him with zero |
| 6174s | necro res that's |
| 6176s | funny I feel like I really need to take |
| 6178s | a look at my gear I feel like I haven't |
| 6179s | touched my gear in like 20 levels 43 |
| 6182s | yeah I feel like I haven't done anything |
| 6183s | in so long from that that amulet that we |
| 6185s | crafted at the start of the |
| 6191s | stream any of yeah little forging |
| 6193s | potential here a little foring poal |
| 6194s | there |
| 6197s | let's damage yeah we'll take that |
| 6201s | intelligence that ring is terrible for |
| 6203s | us why are we wearing that |
| 6205s | ring |
| 6208s | uh |
| 6217s | zero oh we need to fix some of these so |
| 6222s | bad |
| 6231s | nice we we got to we replace some I |
| 6234s | think we should uh probably go to the |
| 6237s | stash and like we've got we've got some |
| 6238s | uniques that would probably be |
| 6243s | good our Gear's falling off did I check |
| 6245s | my weapon for Fortune |
| 6252s | zero more |
| 6257s | questions any teaser to share on your |
| 6259s | plans to make Ward not quite so op uh I |
| 6262s | can't share any this is one of those |
| 6263s | things that we're still um we're still |
| 6266s | testing numbers on it um it's something |
| 6268s | that we it's it's a major balancing |
| 6270s | consideration that affects many many |
| 6273s | many builds um like not just the mega op |
| 6276s | ones it affects the like the fair builds |
| 6279s | too um so we have to be careful on how |
| 6281s | we implement it |
| 6284s | um might be good actually replace these |
| 6286s | anyways um we |
| 6289s | are you know like we we still got to get |
| 6291s | it in front of our CTS get some feedback |
| 6293s | on it |
| 6295s | um you like do some iteration so there's |
| 6297s | there's some there's some design space |
| 6299s | that still needs to be done on that |
| 6301s | um before we can really talk what we're |
| 6303s | doing there it it it's it's |
| 6306s | um me |
| 6309s | broad you can like if we look at the |
| 6311s | builds that are problematic and what |
| 6313s | they're doing and and how they're doing |
| 6314s | it you can kind of get a general idea of |
| 6316s | like likely places to Target it's you |
| 6319s | know nothing nothing crazy out of the |
| 6322s | box revolutionary for |
| 6324s | for bringing down the power of Ward |
| 6326s | really uh thank you very |
| 6329s | much or |
| 6332s | theion congrats thanks for the sub |
| 6334s | appreciate it glad to have you with |
| 6337s | us all right next |
| 6342s | question haven't played in a while but |
| 6344s | when I did flat damage scaled outclass |
| 6347s | everything else especially when it came |
| 6349s | to investment and return uh these flat |
| 6352s | Bas damage I guess uh scaled skills were |
| 6354s | pretty few and far between have there |
| 6356s | been any updates on the balance of this |
| 6358s | I there's less sources of just straight |
| 6363s | flat percentage more damage um so |
| 6367s | percentage scaled uh modifiers like uh |
| 6371s | do have |
| 6375s | um a little bit relatively better place |
| 6378s | in the game I I would say but you know |
| 6380s | generally flat is still very powerful um |
| 6383s | um and it's not very available |
| 6385s | especially in like passive nodes and |
| 6387s | things like that so you're still looking |
| 6388s | to primarily your weapon for that flat |
| 6390s | damage which is which is really |
| 6393s | intentional and where we like it where |
| 6394s | we want to keep |
| 6398s | it uh how do you prioritize devs wanting |
| 6401s | to invent and improve existing features |
| 6403s | do you make time for those yeah I mean |
| 6405s | there's |
| 6407s | um we we we have |
| 6411s | um like a design team that uh drives the |
| 6417s | direction the overall direction of of |
| 6419s | how uh the game evolves and what gets |
| 6422s | added and stuff like that um you know |
| 6424s | every once in a while someone shows up |
| 6425s | with a with they're like I had this idea |
| 6427s | and I just had to throw it in and and |
| 6429s | you know like it's it still goes through |
| 6431s | the review process and things like that |
| 6433s | and um you know people still have to you |
| 6436s | know get their regular work done type |
| 6438s | thing so you know we don't have um |
| 6441s | people going rogue that much on |
| 6442s | development stuff |
| 6445s | but yeah like there's there's definitely |
| 6447s | times where like myself and other people |
| 6450s | will be just like working on something |
| 6451s | and you'll be like oh I've got an idea |
| 6454s | for this thing I could do and you just |
| 6455s | like slap it in it's it's you know it |
| 6457s | happens and you know so so sometimes |
| 6459s | that does happen but |
| 6462s | um I think uh since probably |
| 6467s | 0.9.9 in that range it's it's definitely |
| 6469s | happened less or less we formalized a |
| 6470s | lot more of our of our development |
| 6472s | processes and things like |
| 6481s | that all right so Pinnacle boss is |
| 6484s | coming are you guys going to make things |
| 6487s | hard with small Arena uh and big AOE |
| 6491s | problem forcing players to do mechanics |
| 6493s | or do you guys come up more interesting |
| 6495s | designs from the norm of RPG say hi Mike |
| 6498s | how you been hi um I'm good thanks uh |
| 6503s | the yeah I I can't there is a fixed size |
| 6507s | Arena um it's pretty big |
| 6510s | though |
| 6512s | um it's it's I think more to kind |
| 6518s | of |
| 6523s | um I guess keep the |
| 6525s | fight focused in like a a visual |
| 6529s | space um |
| 6533s | there's there's some there's some new |
| 6536s | mechanics we've had to develop |
| 6537s | specifically for the fight new new new |
| 6540s | functionality we've had to develop |
| 6541s | specifically for this fight |
| 6545s | um I can't can't really go into too much |
| 6547s | detail but there's there's there's some |
| 6550s | some old some new some interesting some |
| 6552s | wacky some expected little little bit of |
| 6557s | everything got it's got |
| 6561s | variety I got C up I caught up to |
| 6571s | chat |
| 6572s | awesome um yeah so if you have more |
| 6574s | questions put atlast OT game in chat and |
| 6577s | I will do my best to answer them |
| 6580s | um thank you air weird GI this up to |
| 6583s | quiet congrats quiet well well |
| 6591s | deserved just to not sure if someone |
| 6593s | asked this already that's okay but are |
| 6595s | we going to keep the current seasons |
| 6596s | mechanics core yes we are uh guilds you |
| 6599s | likees circle of Fortune but feels like |
| 6600s | Merchants Guild auction UI uh and |
| 6603s | inflation is not really good for the |
| 6604s | game um so the the the the major |
| 6608s | inflation that happened with um Merchant |
| 6611s | Guild was specifically due to a um a bug |
| 6615s | that happened so uh you know we are we |
| 6618s | are still riging that in for |
| 6621s | legacy but the the the fact that items |
| 6625s | we we do have like ways to pull gold and |
| 6628s | items out of the economy that we are |
| 6630s | adjusting to be more |
| 6631s | aggressive in some situations and uh |
| 6634s | more dynamic in others are uh you know I |
| 6638s | think we'll we we'll we should be able |
| 6641s | to hit a nice sweet spot where that is |
| 6643s | um that does consist nicely throughout |
| 6646s | Legacy cycle to cycle and we will keep |
| 6649s | updating it as we go as as changes are |
| 6650s | needed |
| 6655s | yes they are core |
| 6663s | mechanics all right any chance on PVP |
| 6666s | Arena uh I I'd love to um we've we've |
| 6671s | we've talked about PVP a few times |
| 6674s | um it was uh one of the stretch goals on |
| 6677s | Kickstarter so like it's been it's been |
| 6679s | in the conversation for a long time um |
| 6684s | the I think there's a a a good chance |
| 6687s | it'll happen |
| 6689s | eventually we we kind of tried |
| 6692s | to emulate uh a a a small fraction of |
| 6696s | the feeling of PVP a little bit in the |
| 6699s | limited Arena that's already there where |
| 6700s | you fight a um a player character style |
| 6704s | n PC |
| 6717s | oh yeah I forgot about that |
| 6721s | node most important note |
| 6739s | ever all right how would you rate the |
| 6742s | current team team morale |
| 6745s | hi we've always we like I don't know i' |
| 6750s | I've I've never really felt we've had I |
| 6753s | think we've been really lucky with um |
| 6759s | like the circumstances around the game |
| 6762s | in general um which has made it pretty |
| 6765s | easy to have pretty high team morale um |
| 6769s | you know we we we do try really hard to |
| 6772s | um |
| 6776s | um like keep keep keep our like |
| 6780s | development |
| 6781s | Community uh you know like fun and |
| 6784s | exciting and interesting and you know |
| 6786s | all the same sorts of things that we try |
| 6787s | and develop for the game we try and |
| 6789s | develop for our development environment |
| 6791s | as well |
| 6796s | um I think we do a pretty good job of |
| 6798s | it I don't talk to everyone every day so |
| 6801s | you know it's hard to tell exactly |
| 6807s | but I think it's good I think it's |
| 6809s | really good I'm having tons of |
| 6815s | fun all right will we see any updates to |
| 6817s | endurance for cycle 2 potentially little |
| 6819s | buff to compete with Ward um |
| 6824s | there's uh at uh yeah there's there's |
| 6828s | some stuff there's there's some changes |
| 6829s | um Less on the like overarching |
| 6831s | systematic side and more on the specific |
| 6842s | side I may have missed it uh but our new |
| 6845s | leaderboards confirmed for 1.1 I mean |
| 6847s | every major every every time we do a |
| 6849s | cycle like 1.1 1.2 the like the |
| 6852s | leaderboards uh start over again so |
| 6855s | yes uh the old boss is getting some |
| 6858s | major improvements major I |
| 6861s | know um um we're we're really focusing |
| 6865s | our |
| 6868s | uh oh kind of actually yeah we're really |
| 6870s | focusing our efforts on the new |
| 6875s | content um when it comes to bossing we |
| 6878s | we have developed new uh Systems and |
| 6881s | Technology for ah okay yeah there are |
| 6883s | some big changes actually um we we we |
| 6886s | we've developed some new systems of |
| 6887s | technology for bossing in general um so |
| 6890s | it does like that does hit every boss in |
| 6892s | the game |
| 6894s | um but like individual adjustments to |
| 6899s | specific bosses uh existing bosses are |
| 6902s | few and far |
| 6913s | between and uh other stuff too I don't |
| 6916s | know it's hard to it's hard to say some |
| 6918s | of these things that me like |
| 6919s | spoilers I know I'm not allowed to say |
| 6921s | yet |
| 6924s | it's going to be cool nailed |
| 6926s | it all right uh any updates on set items |
| 6930s | not yet not yet set items are still uh |
| 6933s | still waiting for their day to |
| 6937s | shine uh if SL when PVP is added will |
| 6939s | there be PVP specific gear or will it |
| 6942s | just be normal gear that's used for PVP |
| 6944s | that's a great question and one of the |
| 6945s | reasons we don't have PVP yet cuz we |
| 6946s | don't have an answer to it |
| 6949s | um I think there's really good and bad |
| 6952s | things about both both of those options |
| 6953s | and it's really hard to tell which is |
| 6955s | the right thing to do |
| 6959s | um yeah uh maybe either you know |
| 6965s | um PVP specific gear lets you |
| 6969s | um like have have a much more granular |
| 6973s | balance on PVP which is really nice |
| 6977s | um but it also creates a um |
| 6984s | uh I think a barrier to entry to try |
| 6986s | that we don't like |
| 6990s | um and it also doesn't feel I don't know |
| 6993s | it doesn't feel great when um it creates |
| 6996s | another like subset of items that you |
| 6998s | don't want to find if you don't like say |
| 7000s | you just like hate PVP the idea of PVP |
| 7002s | you're like no matter what I'm just I'm |
| 7004s | not going to PVP I'm not a PVP person |
| 7006s | totally fine um and a PVP item drops and |
| 7010s | it's just like it's another like well |
| 7012s | this item is literally useless for me it |
| 7014s | does absolutely nothing that sucks um |
| 7018s | you that already happens when you're |
| 7019s | like if you hate minions or something |
| 7021s | like that or you only play minions and a |
| 7022s | minion item drops or doesn't drop you |
| 7024s | know it's like there's there's already |
| 7027s | those moments and adding more of those |
| 7028s | is not ideal um but at the same |
| 7033s | time |
| 7035s | uhy oh yeah Al and yeah and like |
| 7039s | um making the the actual game play of |
| 7042s | PVP feel really good is probably more |
| 7046s | important um so then then you like start |
| 7048s | to look at like okay well you need to |
| 7050s | PVP to get PVP gear um and it puts this |
| 7054s | like barrier to entry on on |
| 7056s | the um like on pvping so you're like |
| 7060s | okay I'll go to play PVP but like I |
| 7062s | won't have any PVP gear I'll just get my |
| 7063s | ass handed to me and won't be any fun |
| 7066s | and then you bounce off of it so like we |
| 7069s | have much to discuss there's there's a |
| 7071s | there's a lot of moving pieces is there |
| 7073s | we we've really got to figure out how |
| 7074s | it's best cuz this is the one of the |
| 7075s | main reasons I never PVP when I played |
| 7077s | wow was because um I don't know how it |
| 7080s | is now but back then you needed PVP |
| 7082s | specific gear I didn't really have any |
| 7085s | and I was like showing up to |
| 7086s | Battlegrounds without PVP gear and being |
| 7088s | like oh this is sure fun I'm getting my |
| 7091s | ass handed to me because I just don't |
| 7093s | have PVP gear great |
| 7097s | um so I didn't PVP |
| 7100s | much got into it later it a ton of fun |
| 7102s | love it but you know that's that was my |
| 7104s | initial experience with |
| 7106s | it okay let's do a very |
| 7110s | quick |
| 7116s | um |
| 7123s | yeah |
| 7125s | right right like that's that's that's |
| 7128s | good right |
| 7138s | snow blind that's the what I'm like |
| 7140s | nah needs to be |
| 7145s | fixed catalst for those catalst don't |
| 7149s | care so I've been playing Rogue so it's |
| 7152s | all Rogue gear in here right |
| 7153s | now and it's completely |
| 7157s | disorganized uh supp something like this |
| 7159s | would actually be good we don't need |
| 7161s | crits right |
| 7172s | like that might be nice |
| 7184s | actually have I really been doing this |
| 7187s | without doing that am I that big of a |
| 7190s | noob it really would seem that way way |
| 7192s | wouldn't |
| 7200s | it that |
| 7207s | no I just we're coming up to a lot of |
| 7209s | cold damage so I'm like just want to get |
| 7211s | that cold res up a |
| 7214s | bit doing a lot of heavy lifting |
| 7217s | there uh settings |
| 7225s | passives |
| 7230s | one yeah it's that |
| 7235s | right impossible all right let's keep |
| 7239s | moving we only have three minutes left |
| 7241s | in the Stream ah let's answer some |
| 7244s | questions oh actually I kind of want to |
| 7246s | go |
| 7248s | get we start down this path |
| 7254s | uh my bad if this been asked before |
| 7256s | that's okay but any plans on Clans for |
| 7259s | players being added |
| 7260s | soon not soon but I think the |
| 7263s | conversation's warmed |
| 7271s | recently uh is visual Clarity of SK a |
| 7275s | player skill coming like MTX what tones |
| 7277s | down skill effects or at least options |
| 7279s | in game to help andame visual clutter |
| 7282s | does become a problem right now yeah |
| 7284s | it's something we're still working on um |
| 7286s | I I I don't think that's the sort of |
| 7287s | thing that we want to |
| 7290s | um uh put behind MTX so if there was I I |
| 7294s | think a a a bad situation um not like a |
| 7298s | oh my God it's the end of the world |
| 7299s | situation but something that we would |
| 7300s | consider negative and would want to fix |
| 7302s | would be um if we |
| 7305s | were if people were buying specific ntx |
| 7309s | in order to play specific builds because |
| 7311s | you couldn't see properly without it |
| 7313s | that would be a bad situation for us |
| 7314s | that would be like okay this is |
| 7315s | something we do need to fix um |
| 7320s | but um so yeah we we we |
| 7324s | are that would be that would be worse |
| 7326s | than it is now I think which is might be |
| 7328s | sound kind of weird cuz it's offering a |
| 7329s | solution to the problem but I think that |
| 7331s | would still be |
| 7333s | worse um i' I I know we've been talking |
| 7337s | about ways to help with this cuz it is |
| 7339s | especially you get into a four player |
| 7341s | party um there's some especially |
| 7343s | egregious builds right now that are |
| 7345s | especially popular that just you know |
| 7347s | you can't see |
| 7348s | anything so it's an issue we're working |
| 7350s | on it uh you won't see huge changes to |
| 7352s | it |
| 7355s | 1.1 uh sorry I didn't hear the answer |
| 7357s | you planning any dismemberment or |
| 7359s | shattering on death when enemies are |
| 7361s | frozen like in P2 um the I I |
| 7365s | um I said I mentioned that we're we are |
| 7369s | there was there was a list you gave uh |
| 7371s | and I said said one of those things on |
| 7373s | the list is something we're working on |
| 7374s | they're really difficult um you know we |
| 7378s | we we we like doing it um but no |
| 7384s | specifics all |
| 7386s | right looks like we are getting real |
| 7389s | close to the end here I'm just probably |
| 7390s | going to get to the next Waypoint and |
| 7403s | all right let's just finish off the |
| 7404s | questions we got here uh come now you |
| 7407s | can spell something we won't tell your |
| 7409s | boss promise you might be here he might |
| 7411s | be watching uh there will be a bigger |
| 7413s | info dump before the release right weeks |
| 7415s | before yeah um we always do we call hype |
| 7418s | week um which is the week leading up to |
| 7421s | Major patch we dump a ton of info uh and |
| 7424s | get the hype train rolling |
| 7426s | then |
| 7429s | um there'll probably be some other |
| 7431s | mediumsized stuff before then |
| 7433s | too uh well what if you talk to someone |
| 7435s | to get an intro for |
| 7439s | PVP and they give you a start our PVP |
| 7441s | Gear with a certain gear score that you |
| 7443s | are then queued against people with the |
| 7445s | same gear score then upgrade the gear |
| 7446s | through P yeah there's there's ways to |
| 7448s | solve these problems I I didn't mean to |
| 7450s | imply that this is an exhaustive |
| 7451s | discussion just that it's a very big |
| 7453s | topic and we've got to we a lot of the |
| 7454s | pros and cons for various things and so |
| 7455s | we still discusting allot sort of |
| 7457s | stuff are you guys going to Nerf Ward um |
| 7461s | yes a |
| 7463s | uh like Ward Ward as a mechanic |
| 7467s | is in most situations generally more |
| 7470s | powerful than uh non- Ward builds the |
| 7472s | maximum potential there a better way |
| 7474s | phrases the maximum potential of Ward is |
| 7475s | higher than the maximum potential of non |
| 7477s | Ward at the moment and um you know that |
| 7483s | we we're seeing ward-based builds get |
| 7486s | into situations that are significantly |
| 7487s | higher than uh we intend them to be able |
| 7490s | to get to so yeah there'll be some nerv |
| 7493s | that'll be Buffs |
| 7494s | too uh though every major patch there's |
| 7497s | Nerfs and Buffs so hope hopefully uh |
| 7500s | something to just expect that from now |
| 7502s | on I think uh would you ever consider a |
| 7504s | unique that has a small chance of |
| 7506s | turning an enemy into a be yeah sure I |
| 7508s | consider it uh it be it' be fun uh |
| 7516s | it's trans um like sheep type effects |
| 7520s | are uh |
| 7523s | tricky to pull off we've tried them a |
| 7524s | couple times uh hi hope you are having a |
| 7527s | wonderful stream so far I am almost done |
| 7529s | I just heard about PVP gear this is very |
| 7532s | hypothetical we're not nothing's |
| 7535s | happening to be clear uh and was |
| 7537s | wondering about how putting in PvP gear |
| 7540s | vendor uh you can buy gear then for PvP |
| 7543s | with the example tokens you get from PvP |
| 7545s | but they are also droppable in PVE |
| 7547s | activities |
| 7550s | maybe I was I was just musing about the |
| 7553s | topic to be clear yeah all right that'll |
| 7556s | do it for us for this patch or for this |
| 7559s | patch this stream I'll be back same time |
| 7560s | same place next week um I hope you had |
