Transcript (by Youtube)

5s	good afternoon everybody and welcome
7s	back to another
9s	last Epoch dead stream as always oh
13s	as always I'm showing stuff from last
16s	stream oh there we go I'm your host Mike
19s	that's right
20s	lucky I wasn't uh just like pre-spoiling
23s	the
24s	the other spoilers had ready oof that
26s	would have been bad
28s	how's it going everybody you may notice
31s	that we're on a new character
35s	yes frozen over is done and we're
36s	playing melee again primarily we're
39s	looking on void cleave doing some some
41s	void whirly Boy action a little rebuke
47s	yeah
48s	let's have some fun with it
50s	I don't think we're a little low so I
52s	think we're just gonna start with normal

60s	how's everyone doing if this is your
61s	first time here welcome
63s	I'm surprised you're here right at the
64s	very start if it's your first time but
65s	if you are and it is we always stream
67s	for charity Child's Play is our charity
69s	of the month right now and we'll be
70s	doing that all month long
79s	now uh oh I Rhymer made this build for
82s	me
84s	so we've got a nice a nice filter that
86s	he made for me as well oh it's pretty
88s	look at that
90s	so I don't even know what's going on in
91s	here
92s	uh
95s	we'll take a quick look through our
97s	abilities here so we're primarily using
98s	uh void cleave Warpath abyssaleka's
101s	lunge and anomaly however this like
104s	listen this is not on our bar and we're
105s	going to be triggering that
108s	um main items that make us work after
110s	his Ma and Titan's heart are our uniques
113s	of choice
123s	it's a Buffs you know just yet we're
126s	just damage taken it's always good I
128s	haven't seen the icon for that in quite
129s	a while
132s	it's your first time here
134s	welcome glad to have you
138s	um
139s	for you and anyone else is here uh will
142s	you I like to take questions with the
144s	community if anyone has any questions
145s	please feel free to ask them please put
148s	an at last Epoch game in front of your
151s	question so I see it pop out from chat
153s	look all pretty
158s	yeah it's just gonna just be a casual
159s	relaxed q a stream here today
162s	uh got a couple spoilers later on for
164s	you
164s	little little neat neat updates things
168s	to share
175s	what's this what's this
179s	oh that's
183s	zero poison res what is going on
189s	wait do we have damage conversions
190s	somehow
192s	something am I crazy
194s	I wouldn't be with there
209s	long time player for some Watchers oh
212s	glad to have you here
215s	hope you're enjoying hope you're
216s	enjoying the game so far
222s	a question of trying to make ignite
224s	Warpath work and bleed from gear and
227s	passives are not being accounted for I
230s	know so the skill conversions only work
231s	on the respective trees that the case
232s	here no they shouldn't be
235s	um
238s	uh your so if you have a conversion
244s	um
245s	it probably won't show in the character
247s	screen
249s	the like the they won't it won't show
251s	here so if you've got a skill specific
254s	conversion it won't show that it is uh
258s	affected being affected here
260s	um so so like your ignite chance for
263s	Warpath if it's converted
266s	um to fire the bleed chance converted to
268s	fire will work but it won't show here as
270s	ignite chance
272s	um
274s	yeah
279s	I'm always bleaching okay that's that's
281s	the thing so I just don't need poison
283s	res because it's a DOT and I can just
285s	out leech it is that what's going on
288s	let's just pay attention to the uh
290s	whatever we're doing here oh I know what
293s	the problem is
296s	my movement abilities on the wrong key
304s	[Music]
311s	uh the normally
313s	there we go that'll be better
317s	engage cage
326s	um yeah so it's
327s	the um
331s	it should be working but yeah
335s	sorry
339s	foreign
349s	is patch 0.9 close to being complete
354s	um there's there's still a lot of stuff
355s	that we need to do on it um I don't I
357s	don't have an exact timeline for you on
359s	it at the moment
361s	um you have to wait for an official
362s	statement for when it's ready
367s	there'll be a Dev blog or something that
370s	will like outline when it's coming all
373s	that jazz
375s	at some point
390s	how do you guys feel about juicing
392s	monoliths
394s	um I mean it's kind of hard to do that
397s	really like it's you can you can kind of
399s	do it a little bit but because the
402s	um modifiers wear off after a certain
404s	number of them it's kind of hard to to
406s	stack it too crazy High
409s	um we do like it is it is a a thing
413s	that's fine with but I don't think that
415s	there's a problem with the way it is now
416s	if that's what you're asking
418s	foreign
424s	I'll get used to it don't worry
433s	I love it
434s	it's just it's just a tanky boy I think
436s	I'm
438s	um
440s	I'm gonna try and make some legendaries
442s	I've got a legend potential on my chest
444s	and weapon and that's that's our big
445s	goal today is to get to get uh some sort
448s	of
449s	exalted item on there
453s	and we got a couple to give it a couple
455s	shots you know just for fun
468s	if you're using anomaly more shouldn't I
470s	just
472s	like a happy spinning
474s	just spin it away just while in the time
477s	spin spin spin
479s	don't forget to drink lots of water this
480s	this run left bug's been fixed by the
482s	way in there in the 8.9
493s	hi medium term last Epoch player here
498s	uh missed a few Q A's wanted to ask you
500s	a question could you please explain
502s	Sexton blocking
505s	I I still didn't get the like detailed
510s	explanation ready because yeah just if
512s	you just thought I stopped I stopped
514s	getting the question
517s	well so you see how
520s	like sometimes you have this kite Shield
523s	or you have like a big Shield like this
524s	and it's really effective at blocking
526s	attack because there's lots of surface
527s	area
528s	to protect yourself behind to hide
530s	behind it with a proper Shield
533s	um sextants are really inefficient at
535s	this process because they're so much
537s	smaller and it's not a solid piece like
540s	a single solid piece of of like tempered
542s	steel or something like that so you
543s	can't
545s	um you can't like
547s	protect yourself with it as well so they
550s	Infuse these sextants with magic
553s	um because because they're inherently
555s	magical devices obviously right
557s	um and
559s	and when you get all of this magical
561s	energy into the Sextant it wants to
563s	repel everything from it so it just it
565s	just can't handle anything being near it
568s	um and then you put a dimensional anchor
570s	on the handle so you can still hold it
573s	but it repels things the other end
576s	um and that that blocks incoming attacks
581s	foreign
595s	Buffs including leech yeah I should I
597s	should use it I know I should
606s	I guess we could we do a little
608s	um
609s	do a little dive through our our
611s	abilities here and see what we've got
614s	I haven't even looked at the character
615s	properly yet
617s	I was like yeah this looks good I took a
619s	brief look at the abilities and then
621s	some of the Keynotes I'm like yeah this
622s	looks awesome let's go for us have some
624s	fun
625s	do you love voice leave it's just such a
627s	satisfying ability
630s	but the um
631s	the visual feedback on the hits created
634s	by things especially with large singular
636s	hits like void cleave are being updated
638s	so much and like this is it's fun I know
641s	I keep gushing about it but I keep
642s	running to this issue where I'm using it
644s	in this bill although I'm like that
645s	doesn't feel the same as it does on
647s	multiplayer
649s	that's true
653s	it's true
660s	where's the tunes man I'm so bad at
663s	bouncing the audio volume I don't know
666s	what it is I'm just like
669s	is that better
678s	I'm happy I'm happy to adjust Music and
680s	Sound volumes in general as people see
682s	fit
686s	a little a little one LP devotion then
689s	I'm not so savvy
696s	Mike speaking words when they'll
698s	understand them hey man as soon as you
701s	learn English you're right there
712s	is that rebuke how is that useful for
713s	Warpath it's it's more in the situation
715s	like um so the boss of this model for
717s	example has very large attacks
720s	um
721s	that like you need to move out of them
724s	quickly but because lunge is your
725s	movement ability
727s	um sometimes you don't have a Target to
728s	Lunge to I can't lunge right now
731s	um so if you can't get out of the large
734s	attack that's coming in you just tank it
736s	and so even a baseline rebuke
739s	um without any points in it or anything
741s	it's still 80 percent less damage
744s	um so like that's a huge and it's a less
747s	modifier so it's it's multiplicative
749s	with everything else
752s	uh if you already got like
755s	a few layers of
757s	75 you know it's it's pretty uh it's a
760s	pretty huge amount of damage reduction
761s	you can quite often tank a lot of
765s	um a lot of abilities a lot of
766s	possibilities with it
773s	every time I have four paths on my bar
774s	though I find myself just warp acting
780s	it's just too good of an ability
790s	all right is there any way to make a
792s	black hole lightning Elemental currently
795s	in game or any plans does something make
797s	it lightning I like lightning yeah it's
800s	um we pretty intentionally did not have
802s	lightning damage involved with it
804s	um
805s	you might think that's a weird uh a
808s	weird decision to make on a class that's
811s	specifically all about getting as many
812s	of the different elements as possible or
813s	being able to use one specific element a
816s	whole bunch
819s	um but one thing we're really clear on
820s	is is not having every ability be
824s	um
825s	instantly
827s	functional like with every single
829s	element like every single conversion
831s	it's
834s	it makes everything a little too samey I
837s	think
839s	um I think you'll end up with a lot like
842s	it might seem like oh more options
843s	better more diversity but I think you'd
845s	actually end up with so similar builds
849s	um
850s	I think the building builds would
852s	homogenize a lot more if basically every
854s	spell could be every element because it
856s	would just be like all right which one
858s	does the most damage okay convert it to
860s	the element you want okay let's go done
863s	and I think that would just be and then
865s	like you pick your support abilities to
866s	go with it
867s	um
868s	but having the mechanics function
871s	specifically in certain ways and not
873s	have them be available for every single
877s	um
880s	uh element gives gives a little bit of
884s	um
884s	it was it was the saying um
887s	limitations between creativity
888s	restrictions bring creativity something
890s	like that
897s	we do have a build command driver
901s	uh and I have access to that so I'm
903s	going to do that
907s	it's called nightbot isn't it yeah it is
912s	commands custom commands
916s	Mike is working on
919s	that builds
925s	there we go that should work now
932s	yeah
935s	oh I that's what I forgot I need
937s	paranoia and I have paranoia
939s	in my
942s	um in my stash
949s	it's gonna take a look at this
952s	oh that's a lot of meteors
957s	leap years I'm calling them bleed ears
980s	Johnny
989s	let's get shot back up so we can see
991s	what's happening instead of just
992s	ignoring everybody
997s	I'm just just finishing up on that um
999s	lightning black hole question I will say
1001s	though there are more lightning
1003s	abilities in the pipe
1005s	for uh mage
1009s	well kind of mage
1015s	foreign
1027s	I'm sorry I'm just gonna hide the magic
1029s	items because
1046s	there we go clean things up a touch
1048s	okay
1053s	yeah sends her away but her ability
1055s	stays that's funny
1070s	oh she's a tanky girl okay and next
1075s	question
1076s	don't forget to put in that last Epoch
1079s	game in the question if I'm going to see
1081s	it uh here we go
1084s	hi
1086s	Demo Man from Team Fortress 2 an average
1090s	height last Epoch Enthusiast year I
1093s	leveled some characters to level 80 but
1095s	did not manage to find a single one that
1097s	would have a sticky bomb launcher as a
1099s	main skill any chance would add
1101s	something similar ability also uh
1103s	training super or sticky jumper would be
1105s	nice for flying around uh detonating
1108s	arrow on the Marksman I think has pretty
1111s	similar functionality if you extend the
1114s	um the arming duration
1117s	and increase I think it doesn't know it
1120s	increases Army duration and
1124s	um
1125s	explosion radius and other things one
1128s	node that does that
1133s	could be wrong
1138s	maybe it's already in there
1141s	just out of curiosity when are the
1143s	optimization changes coming to the game
1144s	if there is a date for it no date but it
1146s	will be involved with the next patch the
1148s	0.9
1149s	uh Ready Mix 15 months in a row thank
1152s	you very much it's a big one
1157s	I'm gonna I'm gonna show off I'm gonna
1159s	show you
1160s	um I've been
1161s	we recently got this board game wingspan
1163s	oh my goodness it's great and I've been
1165s	printing everything I can for it and so
1168s	this is the Sprint's almost done had
1170s	little problem so I'm going to reprint
1171s	pieces of it but there's a little
1173s	birdhouse bird feeder Dice Tower thing
1180s	and I'm printing the uh the roof for it
1183s	right now
1187s	so that's what you get random remix for
1189s	that I'm gonna just show you a random
1191s	print I've been working on
1194s	which I know is completely unrelated and
1196s	unsolicited but
1199s	there we go
1204s	[Music]
1205s	any plans to add other types of Idols
1209s	like set legendary or something else
1211s	legendary's tricky
1215s	foreign
1217s	legendary implies the existence of
1219s	exalted
1221s	Idols which is which is really tricky
1226s	um partially because currently Idols do
1229s	not have
1231s	ranks or tears on their shards on on
1234s	their um oh what am I trying to say
1237s	affix tears on Idols do not have ranks
1241s	and therefore you cannot have they're
1244s	all tier one so there's no such thing as
1246s	a tier six or two seven Idol affix
1250s	um so you can't have an exalted Idol so
1251s	you can't make a legendary so we either
1253s	have to like amend the term or add tears
1257s	or do something to make exalted Idols
1260s	I'm not sure what an exalted Idol would
1261s	look like but it would have to be
1262s	consistent terminology
1264s	to make sense
1266s	um
1267s	so it while it's not impossible
1271s	um I would say it's not a 1.0 feature
1273s	look
1275s	um
1276s	so we'd be we'd be more interested in um
1280s	looking at other Mechanics for that
1282s	as far as
1284s	um
1285s	set or there are unique ones already so
1288s	you could we could add LP to the unique
1289s	ones
1292s	so that part's fine however uh as far as
1294s	set items Set uh Idols go
1296s	there's not a ton of space in the idle
1299s	inventory
1302s	um and because it's class independent
1306s	um set ones are a little tricky one
1308s	thing I we could do and I
1311s	I'd kind of like to see it
1314s	um we don't have any plans for this at
1316s	all but like have a piece of a set be an
1319s	idol and
1321s	um
1322s	and then have the rest of the set be in
1324s	your gear
1326s	which I'm pretty sure we can do because
1327s	they're just items like any other items
1329s	and the set affixes are just affixes
1331s	like any other affix really
1335s	um
1336s	so yeah I think that's possible
1339s	um I think that'd be cool we don't have
1340s	any plans for it but
1342s	um
1344s	I think that might be neat yeah
1347s	or have uh
1349s	have a unique Idol that interacts with
1351s	sense in a weird way that could be
1352s	possible but yeah there's no there's no
1354s	plans to that immediately we're pretty
1355s	happy with this with the idle system
1358s	um there's a lot of room for it to grow
1360s	for sure
1361s	um but as far as a 1.0 launch complexity
1363s	feature we're pretty happy with it
1366s	um
1367s	I could see there's a lot of different
1370s	places to to work with the idle system
1373s	um some of it's through as like a reward
1375s	for
1377s	um for interacting with other systems so
1380s	uh what any other end game systems have
1382s	them as a reward have a dungeon have it
1384s	be a reward to interact with Idols
1386s	somehow
1387s	um possibly the existence of like
1389s	limited crafting on Idols through
1390s	dungeon reward is a possibility
1393s	um we've we've talked about all sorts of
1395s	things like the a suggestion that gets
1396s	brought up pretty frequently it relates
1398s	to the centerpiece of this of this idle
1401s	slot right here having something here
1403s	that maybe affects all the idols or
1405s	something that gives you Buffs
1407s	um based on the number of Idols so all
1409s	the idols
1411s	um
1412s	we we get suggestions various
1414s	suggestions along these veins quite a
1415s	bit and I'm just relaying those
1416s	suggestions so there's like one
1418s	suggestion we see is like uh an idol
1420s	maybe a slot here that says like
1423s	um plus one Vitality for every small uh
1426s	like one or two slot Idol like small or
1429s	medium whatever it is
1431s	small Stout and Tumble idols
1436s	um
1437s	or something like that and you could I
1439s	think you could do some cool synergies
1441s	that way those other stuff we got
1442s	frequently is
1444s	um
1445s	like a slot that goes in here you could
1446s	have things like along the lines of like
1449s	a jewel that sockets in there and says
1452s	um 10 more Effectiveness to all your
1454s	idle stats or something like that so
1455s	yeah there's there's things you can go
1457s	both ways where the idols affect the
1458s	thing in the center or the thing that
1459s	Center affects the idols
1461s	um there's other options there too as
1463s	well
1467s	I mean I
1469s	post post launch stuff there's there's
1471s	lots of room there
1473s	um
1473s	and I can do the boss and I just went
1475s	into this
1476s	Echo like a like a scrub-a-dub-dub
1482s	what is Mike doing ugh
1486s	let me just show your your monitor
1488s	[Music]
1491s	and I hang my head in shame because I
1493s	know you're right
1495s	all right another question here let's
1497s	see what I missed
1498s	uh
1500s	we expect it's a fantastic game it is a
1502s	fantastic game if you're um
1505s	looking for a good two-player board game
1508s	highly recommend
1510s	highly recommend
1517s	we haven't we haven't played with anyone
1519s	else yet so I'm like always a little
1520s	curious on like what other people's
1522s	scores are like like are we good are we
1524s	just terrible but like we're similar
1526s	enough to each other that it's still fun
1527s	and competitive in our like minute meta
1540s	yeah uh snow drift for manifest arm of
1544s	the frostbite effect per freeze rate
1545s	seems to not work around it would be for
1548s	um for the Manifest armors freeze rate
1550s	not your own so your own foods that
1552s	would not count
1554s	um
1556s	it's pretty hard to get freeze rate on a
1558s	manifest armor so so it might not be
1559s	appearing very uh very much
1564s	um at the same time that and that mod
1566s	might not work as well I'm not sure uh
1569s	I'd have to I'd have to get in the
1570s	editor and check to see if it was
1572s	working or not
1578s	snow drift is an older one I think
1582s	I think it's an old one and the older
1584s	ones some of them are still using an old
1585s	system so they don't they're not they're
1587s	not they're non-functional with manifest
1588s	armor
1589s	um
1592s	but they're all being updated
1595s	perhaps a new type of idol that fits in
1598s	the center of the ilu I mean yeah that's
1601s	it I think it would have to be called
1602s	something different called like a jewel
1604s	or a gym oh a 2lp strong mind
1608s	I'll take those
1618s	it's cool
1621s	it's not really great this is cool
1625s	oh we're just getting all sorts of them
1628s	okay
1629s	okay buddy
1631s	bye bye
1634s	maybe I'm not even gonna let you die I'm
1636s	just gonna leave you in the void
1638s	languishing for all time
1641s	it's how evil I am
1647s	all right next question here
1652s	maybe where are we
1656s	maybe for a season in one point x you
1659s	have a blessing part of a set oh that's
1661s	cool because you're right you're
1663s	absolutely right blessings are items uh
1665s	and they work the same way as items so
1667s	you could do something like that
1669s	yeah that's really cool actually
1673s	have have and like like a Ring of Royal
1676s	Grandeur blessing
1679s	um sorry I like a single a blessing that
1682s	says like all of your set items need one
1685s	less piece to complete it's it's a lot
1688s	more powerful than the fact in um in a
1691s	game where the sets are generally quite
1693s	small like Epoch compared to
1696s	um
1697s	uh where you have a lot of six pieces in
1700s	D3
1707s	oh the question your first time chatter
1709s	hi I started playing for two weeks now
1712s	and I really like the game thanks you're
1714s	welcome I can't wait I can't I just
1716s	can't play with a controller any updates
1717s	on that still feels some wonky yeah
1720s	there's there's controller updates
1721s	coming all the time uh some sometimes
1724s	there's little things sometimes the big
1725s	things but yeah we're constantly working
1726s	on the control of the 1.0 version of the
1728s	game will uh have full controller
1730s	support
1732s	but we don't have that yet controller
1734s	supports in
1736s	development we'll say we'll put it
1739s	nicely
1745s	sort of just you oh and I miss my
1747s	anomaly I did miss my anomaly
1750s	it's unfortunate
1754s	it's okay we can just bye bye
1761s	will there be a way to check minions
1762s	next exercise resist HP and armor
1765s	um yeah so there's
1767s	maybe hopefully probably
1771s	um there's two different types of uh
1773s	important minion stats because
1775s	currently minions do snapshot when you
1777s	summon them which is something else
1778s	we're working on
1780s	um you get
1783s	like the the information that's on here
1788s	um even if we had like uh your skeleton
1791s	Warriors have the stat and you're like
1793s	you're like increased skeleton Warrior
1795s	bit damage and increased skeleton Mage
1797s	damage and increased skeleton archer
1798s	damage and increased fire rate damage
1800s	and like even if we had every single one
1802s	of those stats it still wouldn't be
1803s	accurate necessarily for each one that's
1804s	in the world
1806s	um
1808s	it would be accurate for the next one
1810s	you summon and I think that's the style
1812s	of system we would still stick with
1815s	um and work on the snapshotting effect
1817s	afterwards but I think the um like
1820s	opening up a character sheet for a
1822s	summoned minion that exists in the world
1823s	that probably we won't do
1829s	I I did it again you know what I'm I'm
1832s	just gonna leave
1834s	I just want to be the boss
1841s	we're just checking it out nope no big
1843s	deal
1845s	foreign
1848s	[Music]
1865s	dragons
1868s	that was somewhere
1878s	hey let's go
1881s	Mighty Morphin boss fighting time
1889s	you're printing stuff for wings man that
1891s	I've got these little nests
1894s	put the eggs in yeah
1900s	card holder
1905s	we're going a little we're going a
1907s	little overboard with it
1911s	it's like I'll use my printer for is
1913s	like game pieces for other games
1917s	oh Avalanche run
1926s	come with me
1928s	and you'll see
1930s	nothing because it's the void I'm
1932s	sending you to
1946s	go all right
1951s	oh my God hide behind your little ice
1954s	walls from me
1966s	yeah we're gonna I'm gonna go find
1967s	paranoia from my um
1970s	uh stash here after this I think
1997s	hmm
2001s	there we go
2003s	problem solved
2010s	the the models make good magic card
2013s	names for hers yeah yeah
2020s	laughs
2022s	#calling
2027s	um yeah the uh
2031s	there's a whole bunch of there's a new
2032s	set coming out right now in Magic that
2034s	has a ton of new Erza cards if anyone
2036s	doesn't know Erza is one of the main
2039s	characters in magic magic story lines
2042s	original story lines
2053s	but the urza
2055s	in um last Epoch was named actually
2059s	completely independently because I I
2060s	talked to the person who named it and
2062s	I'm like oh is this a nod to Magic and
2064s	he was like no and had no idea what I
2067s	was talking about
2069s	um
2071s	and it like he explained like where the
2073s	name came from and had like all sorts of
2074s	other significance and I was like that
2076s	is one one Epic coincidence
2093s	I love the warpath Echoes I took a
2096s	surprisingly long time to to make
2097s	function
2100s	oh
2101s	yeah see there
2103s	there's rebuking action I just stayed in
2105s	the middle so I don't like leave and
2106s	come back take the hit
2113s	sometimes I make
2116s	not in optimal place
2122s	I'm great at being okay
2127s	do you guys plan on full release in
2129s	December no be smart to do so D4 coming
2132s	that way more people play Ellie no I I
2134s	think that
2136s	um
2139s	a full a full like 1.0 release December
2142s	is way too early for a 1.0 release I
2143s	don't think
2144s	uh that that should not that should not
2146s	come as a surprise to anyone who if
2147s	you're um
2149s	been watching closely that should not be
2150s	news
2151s	um
2154s	we're not even at 0.9 yet like there's
2156s	there's always before full release
2158s	um having a man I had a good foreign
2162s	post yesterday that just like says
2163s	exactly what I would not say perfectly
2165s	here I'm just gonna re find that post
2167s	and read it
2174s	how do I find my own stuff activity
2176s	there it is
2184s	a little foreign post
2187s	I was on Discord wasn't it
2190s	oh Mike you're taking way too long for
2192s	this now
2205s	gosh
2207s	Mike what are you doing
2213s	all right here we go regardless of when
2215s	other products release if we launch
2216s	before it's ready we'll forever carry a
2218s	dark rain cloud of a rough launch it's
2220s	possible to shake them off for a
2222s	well-established franchise but for a
2223s	first time game it's especially perilous
2225s	we're extremely mindful of everything
2226s	external that can affect us in this and
2229s	we take into take it all into account uh
2231s	we get advice from other developers
2233s	Publishers producers community members
2235s	and everyone else's opinion on the
2236s	matter the bottom line is that we're
2238s	doing what we can to get the game out
2239s	the door as soon as possible we aren't
2241s	interested in sacrificing our mental or
2242s	physical health to hit a deadline we
2245s	know just how tough it is to wait for a
2246s	game to come out especially when it's
2248s	already later than you initially
2249s	expected
2250s	I've got a few games that spring to mind
2252s	myself that I want to drop so bad
2254s	my wife just booked her vacation for
2256s	next year so and to coincide with a
2258s	certain green tunic wearing hero easiest
2261s	Mother's Day present ever
2262s	uh as for an Epoch roadmap this is a
2265s	question what was the original question
2267s	about a roadmap as for an Epoch road map
2269s	I don't think we need plans to publish
2271s	another official one anytime soon really
2273s	all hinges on multiplayer in the status
2275s	of certain major bugs so much of the
2277s	other stuff is just whatever we managed
2279s	to get in by the time we have multiple
2281s	polish so it's tough to be to put those
2283s	specific on a public list because it's a
2286s	lot of stuff that will Flex between 0.91
2287s	and 1.1
2289s	just as a side note finishing the
2291s	masteries is not what I would consider a
2292s	flex feature they will be in at 1.0
2296s	specifically
2303s	general statement I I think the
2306s	um
2310s	the important part of all of that is
2312s	that
2313s	um
2314s	good boy
2316s	yeah I think this is the exact situation
2318s	I was talking about before about having
2320s	to to tank that instead of being able
2321s	because you can't run out of it because
2322s	I have no movement ability
2329s	oh I just put it on cooldown
2333s	we're going into the corner
2338s	um
2343s	that's close
2345s	that was close
2347s	um
2348s	like the whole you gotta beat D4 to
2351s	Market mentality there is I understand
2354s	where that's coming from and there's
2356s	definitely a history of uh examples you
2358s	can point to where like two things were
2360s	competing directly and and one got to
2362s	Market first and and that one was the
2364s	wildly successful one on the other one
2366s	had had much reduced success because of
2368s	that
2369s	um and and I can see where people are
2372s	coming from with the suggestions like
2373s	that but
2375s	um if we release
2378s	the game and and we're basically just
2381s	ignoring Diablo 4's release date at this
2383s	point and trying to get the game out as
2385s	quickly as we can
2386s	um and it's like but we do have certain
2389s	minimum quality standards that we're
2390s	gonna release the game with so it's once
2392s	we're happy with the quality of the game
2394s	oh no no too early okay we're good
2397s	um once we're happy with the quality of
2398s	the game we'll release it and that's
2399s	just that's that's that's it like we'll
2402s	get it done as soon as we can
2404s	and they don't release it and um
2408s	yeah there's there's
2410s	probably some things that will be a lot
2412s	easier uh and maybe better if we if we
2415s	got it before DL before but
2417s	um it's more important that we
2421s	um
2422s	you know do our do our own thing
2428s	Trixie
2431s	oh come on
2435s	I'm trying to push them away from all of
2437s	these blood pools on the edge
2448s	um
2448s	so yeah like
2451s	we'll get it done as soon as we can
2454s	um
2456s	I don't know when that'll be
2460s	all res
2469s	primer what's what's in the build here
2470s	these are some good ones
2486s	foreign
2488s	listed on the build
2493s	leech looks pretty good too
2509s	future plans for dungeons I like them
2511s	conceptually but I don't really feel I
2514s	don't really enjoy actually running them
2516s	too large too many walls perhaps the the
2518s	I think the random
2520s	um generation nature of dungeons being
2522s	more typical to the genre would be a
2526s	huge Boon for them
2527s	um I also think increased variety which
2529s	we're definitely planning on doing would
2530s	be a huge spoon as well there's there's
2532s	lots of really big wins available on the
2534s	dungeon system
2536s	um it's got a really strong backbone and
2539s	um
2541s	I I think there's a lot of really
2542s	powerful things I I mean power power in
2545s	terms of game design power that that are
2548s	there and um
2550s	I I think we'll do well with the system
2554s	and yeah it's not finished yet
2557s	it still has potential
2566s	yeah
2568s	Knox I don't know how to pronounce
2569s	anyone sorry but yeah GeForce 2mo for
2571s	you yeah and that's that's the thing is
2573s	yeah they are slightly different games
2575s	um there's also plenty of room for both
2577s	games to exist in the in the world in
2579s	the genre
2580s	um
2582s	we're gonna go
2586s	[Music]
2597s	um
2598s	just I'm just I'm just joshing it just
2600s	kidding
2601s	um
2603s	the
2607s	yeah like
2609s	D4 is gonna be a huge game
2612s	laughs
2614s	um
2616s	it's gonna be around for a long time
2620s	um
2622s	most of the time that D4 and last Epoch
2625s	are
2626s	released and in people's hands and
2628s	available to play and are being
2629s	discovered by people and people entering
2630s	the genre and all sort of stuff they're
2633s	both going to exist for the vast
2635s	majority of that time and which one
2637s	releases first
2638s	I don't think we'll have a huge impact
2645s	yeah like it's one of those things where
2646s	we want to get out as soon as we can and
2649s	we're doing everything we can to
2651s	um
2653s	but uh uh beating Diablo for the market
2656s	is not worth
2658s	here's gonna put it beating Diablo for
2659s	the market is not worth a bad launch
2662s	being in jail before the market is not
2664s	worth
2666s	destroying everyone who works on the
2669s	game uh and and just like
2672s	you know like a huge amount of crunch
2674s	work is not worth beating devil for the
2676s	market for us
2677s	um
2679s	so yeah it's as soon as we can but
2682s	you know like We're Not Gonna We're not
2685s	gonna kill ourselves over it
2690s	all right
2693s	oh Samuel that I saw not apparently oh
2695s	whoopsie
2699s	do I have any sweet exalted chests
2704s	or
2706s	um weapons that I can I guess it has to
2707s	be a two-handed ax doesn't it
2710s	uh that I can that I can slap something
2713s	on one of these
2717s	like I'm sure I do here
2725s	's on axes
2735s	I mean organizations for suckers right
2740s	it's terrible
2742s	looks really terrible Mike oh
2746s	I want to put something on that has an
2748s	affix and it might not be able to use
2751s	oh
2754s	arrive of course it is arrive on it
2758s	this isn't exalted though with six Forge
2761s	potential okay never mind
2777s	this is uh surprise usually I can find
2779s	something buried in here
2783s	oh here's an ax
2786s	he's a big X it's got terrible affix on
2788s	it for us
2795s	oh what's this
2797s	it's a one-handed X of course it's a
2798s	one-handed X
2802s	[Music]
2807s	luckily there's a lot of tabs here from
2810s	what I was mucking about
2813s	oh
2817s	oh
2819s	that's that's way better
2823s	yeah
2826s	do I have any uh forged pencil on the
2828s	still no 16.
2832s	might be able to do something with that
2835s	your chest chest at all oh that one
2845s	I think we're doing I think we're doing
2846s	ax
2849s	Colchester class exactly
2861s	yeah I'm not seeing anything else here
2865s	is this bug is this the same one as
2867s	something else
2869s	no it doesn't look like it
2872s	gosh this is riveting isn't it
2875s	trying to question the answer while I'm
2876s	doing this I'm not just
2879s	just boring everybody okay uh before the
2882s	new patch is there a chance
2884s	um you would do a Friday stream of
2886s	multiplayer yeah I think there's a good
2888s	chance of that I think
2890s	um I think that's the sort of thing that
2891s	as we get closer to the patch we can we
2894s	can start look at doing I'd love to I'd
2896s	love to get
2897s	um
2899s	I have no idea if that's possible I
2901s	won't say it I I'd love to get some
2903s	people on to play with me uh on Friday
2906s	streams that
2909s	um
2912s	yeah you can just they can just help
2914s	showcase a little bit better than I can
2917s	what's possible
2920s	yeah ambiguous enough that I done didn't
2924s	say anything bad nailed it okay which
2927s	one of these are we gonna are we gonna
2928s	stick on our app is not here
2930s	uh Fizz damage not huge does that void
2933s	damage the frailty's real nice
2937s	oh I dropped that one whoops
2940s	um
2942s	that added melee boy damage is really
2945s	nice though
2947s	I think either of these because this is
2949s	way more forging potential let's see
2950s	what we can just craft out of this
2953s	quickly
2954s	mainly avoid damage how high can we go
2959s	not very high
2961s	and did I ruin it because well Discovery
2963s	work now if it doesn't have anything oh
2966s	I just just
2968s	you want to know how to completely ruin
2970s	everything
2972s	that's how
2979s	uh it's got four affixes we're good to
2981s	go
2985s	[Music]
2988s	here let's uh it's actually ah
2992s	let's just chaos it
2996s	okay
3004s	there we go
3008s	that's actually a pretty sweet weapon
3018s	okay
3020s	okay yeah sweet no big deal
3025s	[Laughter]
3028s	oh we're gonna start here with one of
3030s	those 65 uh 41. okay we're going to the
3032s	chest now okay we're gonna stick
3035s	something dumb on it
3036s	foreign
3049s	that
3054s	oh does it still have 40 potential left
3057s	it does I'm gonna mirror it
3060s	tried it then a couple times
3064s	I think I have a couple don't I I should
3067s	yes I have a couple
3071s	totally a hundred percent

3119s	wondering when is my master coming home
3123s	is getting kind of dark out already but
3126s	I saw a weird stranger from another
3128s	Epoch who was wearing my Master's ring
3130s	for some reason anyhow would be
3131s	appreciated this is an interesting note
3133s	here I know people know this but yeah
3135s	this is exactly right that's the only
3136s	place in the game to get uh the
3138s	captain's ring
3140s	um
3141s	as a as a as a ring at all and it's it's
3144s	from yeah maxus's Master that's that's
3147s	what I saw
3149s	it's a nice touch there I like that
3151s	um
3153s	yeah this is uh like
3157s	the worst episode of Futurama ever
3159s	situation or the best depending on how
3160s	you look at it
3165s	which is the worst cigarette that
3168s	Band-Aid off
3170s	for the new patches is there any chance
3171s	you oh yeah I did that already sorry I
3172s	skipped out of the question curious on
3174s	your thoughts about
3176s	Torchlight infinite's crafting system
3180s	I am so remiss to say I do not know
3183s	anything about Torchlight infinite's
3185s	crafting system I am so sorry
3190s	I cannot provide you with any opinion on
3194s	it
3201s	uh you think the lack of risk is
3202s	negative but it has to be on this okay
3204s	so I'm just talking about lack of risk
3206s	in general is there
3208s	um
3209s	is there ever like a one-way
3212s	change to an item like you you add
3214s	something random and it just adds it to
3215s	the item or can you always just re-roll
3217s	everything you did no matter what like
3219s	is there is there anything at any point
3221s	that's like this is a permanent change
3222s	you're making to the weapon
3224s	like corruption's a good example ice
3227s	Beetle boys
3229s	um
3231s	having zero
3234s	oh no moments uh I I'm not a huge fan of
3238s	personally in a crafting system but I
3240s	mean it can work really well in lots of
3241s	games so I mean it could be great
3244s	I just
3247s	I do not have the information to make an
3249s	educated um
3250s	response to that I'm sorry
3253s	uh any chance sets will eventually be
3255s	able to go legendary as well it's it's
3257s	very unlikely
3259s	um currently wanting to play with that
3260s	lightning meteor but the set bonus
3262s	doesn't seem uh to be strong enough to
3264s	outdo or on par with customized uh
3267s	equipment and makes it harder to go
3269s	defense uh to get defensives needed to
3271s	survive yeah I um
3276s	there's definitely some sets that are
3279s	really interesting and look really
3281s	awesome for late game but due to a lack
3283s	of core stats or power they're just not
3287s	um they're just not good enough and then
3288s	they don't have a way to to get that
3290s	stat bump to scale a little bit more
3292s	into end game unfortunately
3294s	um
3295s	having them go legendary on the same way
3299s	that uh uniques do with legendary
3301s	potential and exalteds and things like
3303s	that I isn't it's something that we were
3305s	actively not planning on doing
3308s	um we've talked about it quite a bit and
3310s	it just doesn't really fit with
3312s	um
3313s	kind of what we're hoping for here
3317s	oh my goodness where where am I going
3319s	sir
3320s	did I miss something
3329s	is Mike lost
3332s	a little bit
3334s	that's not always open so
3343s	okay come on
3351s	gotta get to this uh the short answer is
3354s	the tool tips are just way too long
3357s	like that's the short answer
3360s	um they all we already actually scale
3362s	the uh scale the scale
3365s	of
3367s	um some set item tool tips based on if
3370s	you've got like the set bonuses and you
3371s	you hold alts and it just like shrinks
3373s	the entire tool to just to fit on screen
3374s	even now without that
3377s	um slap up to four more affixes on those
3378s	items and like
3382s	we're gonna start having like Pages for
3384s	uh for the for the affixes on an item
3387s	it's just too much it's just too much
3390s	um
3393s	so there's kind of a hard limitation
3395s	there on item description length I want
3398s	to call it
3402s	um
3402s	so I think if we were looking to if we
3406s	were looking to increase or mechanically
3408s	add a new system to involve set items
3412s	um I think there's there's a couple
3413s	different ways we can do that and
3416s	um they might not be directly linking to
3419s	the item itself and I think we I touched
3421s	briefly on like one one option which I
3423s	don't think will actually be the thing
3425s	that happens but
3426s	um just as an example the type of thing
3428s	I'm talking about you could have let's
3430s	say an idol that says
3432s	um
3434s	well there was an idol suggestion
3436s	earlier that I was mentioning about how
3437s	it like counts for a set piece
3440s	um for your set bonuses but then also
3441s	there's there's other options where it's
3443s	like
3444s	um
3445s	plus two to all attributes for each set
3449s	item equipped
3451s	or something like that you know
3453s	um
3454s	one percent less damage taken for every
3456s	set item equipped
3458s	um
3461s	uh you know there's like this cool stuff
3463s	like that that you can do
3465s	and I I think that's where you'd have to
3468s	go to sort of make set items a little
3470s	bit more viable
3472s	um
3476s	on the whole this is all there's
3478s	obviously individual set item Buffs that
3480s	we're looking at and there's still other
3481s	mechanical options that we could look at
3483s	to to to to bring set items to scale
3486s	better into into end game I think that's
3488s	part of the big problem is that there's
3489s	also just not enough sets we've sort of
3491s	got this sort of weird compounding
3492s	problem there's not enough sets so some
3495s	of the sets are like the ratio of like
3497s	leveling sets to end game sets there's
3500s	there's really not that many sets that
3501s	are designed as in-game sets in the
3503s	first place
3505s	um
3507s	and oops
3509s	like what button is it again
3512s	uh and
3519s	so yeah you can end up in situations
3521s	where
3524s	you um
3532s	where you want
3535s	well I care what I'm talking about sorry
3537s	uh synonyms aren't good enough yet we're
3539s	still working on it uh we don't have a
3540s	good solution
3543s	there's the tldr
3546s	um making them legendary is is almost
3548s	zero chance that that's going to be the
3551s	thing that makes them awesome
3561s	let's drop a pool up here
3573s	bye bye
3576s	bye bye bye bye bye
3579s	bye bye bye
3588s	all right
3590s	sorry to repeat myself before I tell you
3593s	last time ah I missed it good good good
3595s	repos then wait well done uh but I
3598s	forgot to tell you last time I am a
3599s	person that is not a huge fan of the
3602s	seasonal model
3604s	yep uh and we'll likely spend a lot of
3606s	time in the Eternal realm after release
3608s	what content will there be for me to
3610s	engage with or will it all be about
3612s	encouraging me to move over to seasonal
3614s	play
3615s	um
3616s	I'd really like to see
3621s	um there'd be
3622s	a thriving community in the standard
3626s	realm or or whatever you want to call it
3628s	standard League
3629s	um standard cycle Eternal cycle Eternal
3631s	realm Eternal you have the term right
3632s	there
3633s	um I I'd really like to see there be a
3636s	thriving community in the Eternal Realm
3640s	um
3643s	I'm not 100 sure what that looks like
3644s	right now
3645s	I'm not 100 sure the details of exactly
3648s	what's going to be there
3650s	and probably what you're more interested
3652s	in is what's not going to be there
3654s	um
3656s	I think ideally we'd have as much
3658s	overlap as possible
3661s	and the main reason for that is actually
3662s	just because
3664s	um maintaining two games is hard
3667s	and maintain two games takes a lot of
3669s	time and effort and energy and money and
3672s	all that sort of stuff that could just
3674s	be put into making the game better
3675s	overall if uh
3678s	we weren't maintaining two of them and
3680s	and uh especially early on I think
3683s	there'll be very little difference
3686s	especially early on when there's
3690s	um
3691s	I don't know maybe maybe there's more
3692s	things that change later and or maybe
3694s	there's less things that changed later
3695s	it's definitely the sort of thing that
3697s	we will be
3699s	um looking for feedback on from our
3701s	community and will be like
3705s	um
3707s	I don't know wanting to make sure that
3710s	that that's the sort of thing that yeah
3711s	getting getting feedback on for that
3713s	will be really nice
3714s	oh hey let's let's just make some random
3717s	boots
3717s	here
3718s	let's make some random boots is that
3720s	something we can do yeah
3722s	there's some fun let's make some boots
3723s	what am I doing
3739s	we got 34 Health on our boots
3742s	neat
3745s	I'll just do this to beat it so they can
3747s	uh
3750s	come back here
3755s	getting people into the seasonal play
3758s	um
3759s	I think will happen pretty organically
3762s	I don't think that there's going to need
3764s	to be a huge
3767s	um and I I I think a lot yeah I think
3770s	it'll happen pretty organically and I
3772s	think the people who are interested in
3774s	playing a seasonal content style will
3776s	play a seasonal content style
3779s	um
3780s	even even if it's just and I so I'm
3783s	using my own
3784s	um I guess
3786s	um Prejudice the wrong word my own
3788s	um
3791s	weird brain example
3794s	uh
3797s	like Diablo 2
3800s	um that's an example
3802s	had did have some content that was
3805s	latter only
3806s	so little
3810s	so little it was it was like about 20
3813s	Rune words
3815s	and that was it
3818s	um and because it had been around
3819s	they've been around for so long all
3821s	those run words existed you could trade
3822s	for easily in in non-ladder no problem
3826s	um
3827s	so really just couldn't make new
3829s	versions of those weird words that was
3830s	really the only difference
3832s	um you can still get them on all your
3833s	characters and everything
3836s	but that was still enough that I only
3837s	ever played ladder
3839s	like later rolled over I just deleted
3842s	the entire account
3843s	and started a new account from scratch I
3846s	just was instantly actually that's not
3848s	true I would go into a public game and
3849s	drop everything and then delete the
3851s	whole account just be like all right
3852s	that's it not not doing anything with
3854s	this ever again because it's not latter
3856s	deal with it and and that's just that's
3858s	just the way that I like to play so that
3862s	um
3864s	and I I think I I don't know I don't
3866s	know if there needs to be a lot of
3869s	um
3872s	big incentives to drive people to play
3874s	that if they want to play they will play
3875s	it
3876s	I think I could be completely wrong
3885s	I think that's that's something that
3886s	we'll see a lot of feedback on and we'll
3888s	um
3889s	I think the feedback will be very
3891s	valuable for that
3894s	you could use the captain's ring and
3896s	last Epoch Cube like a recipe oh that'd
3898s	be cool yeah like um
3902s	uh like wart's leg
3908s	some special recipe with it
3911s	I like that I think it's cool
3913s	uh item can be used uh can be crafted as
3915s	long as you have resources that can't be
3917s	broken about Torchlight very uh very
3920s	casual craft okay
3924s	that makes sense
3927s	uh can you comment at all on if your
3930s	relationship with tencent has given you
3931s	guys more resources for development or
3934s	is it silent so far
3936s	um I I don't I don't really know what
3938s	I'm allowed to talk about with that
3941s	um
3945s	um I I can say that we still have
3947s	complete autonomy
3949s	I'll say that
3950s	like complete the economy there's
3952s	there's
3953s	um
3955s	at no point have I looked at any
3958s	decision we've made and gone like
3962s	oh like was there 10 cent influence in
3965s	that or anything like that like no it's
3967s	um
3968s	it's it's all us all of our mistakes are
3971s	our own fault
3973s	we've got no one to blame
3987s	I haven't really done anything
3989s	I mean like we've like I'm I'm not
3992s	really directly involved with that so I
3994s	there could be more happening that I
3995s	just don't know about but
3997s	it's been oh it's been great it's been
4001s	basically nothing but uh
4005s	I know I know there has been a few good
4007s	really really good things that have come
4008s	out of it for us
4010s	um
4012s	overall I'm very very happy with the
4014s	decision we made
4016s	it's been it's been great
4018s	um but there hasn't been any like
4022s	pressure from them to do anything or
4024s	change anything or
4036s	all right let's move on uh what is the
4039s	design reason for sets not having
4040s	legendary potential I think this may
4042s	have been uh
4044s	I kind of talked about that already I
4046s	think I might be behind enough that I
4047s	already answered that question in the
4048s	middle of my rant
4051s	um if you really want me to go back into
4052s	sets and not having LP let me let me
4054s	know
4055s	ask it again and I'll get back to it uh
4058s	which of the new Lich model with the new
4060s	glitch model coming yeah will it fix the
4062s	issue where you sometimes see both the
4063s	re-perform and you uh standard for your
4066s	character
4067s	um
4067s	that's I actually know that was a bug
4069s	that's funny
4071s	um I I'd be surprised if we don't have
4073s	that fixed
4077s	there's been a lot of things like that
4078s	we've been working on
4079s	um and the entire transform system has
4081s	been completely reworked from scratch so
4084s	uh pre-existing bugs like that probably
4086s	just got incidentally fixed
4094s	Leslie Puck is supposed I think to
4096s	launch early 23. are you taking into
4099s	consideration that deal before it's
4100s	likely to come out at least beta in
4102s	April um so yeah I talked about this a
4103s	bunch earlier
4105s	um the the tldr is
4108s	we're gonna get uh out the door as quick
4110s	as we can
4112s	um we're very aware of everything that's
4113s	happening in the genre in the space and
4115s	other games coming out but we're not
4117s	going to let that
4119s	um
4120s	Force us into a bad launch
4123s	uh or forces into crunch
4126s	that's the short short version
4141s	on a personal note I'm pumped for it
4147s	the fun has arrived hey Aaron how's it
4150s	going
4153s	I'm playing I'm playing a build very
4155s	similar to one uh you you uh made a
4157s	video on recently actually this doesn't
4159s	have a racing strike though so it's a
4160s	little different
4169s	gotta get through here
4170s	yes get me through
4175s	Jorah
4178s	are you ready
4179s	are you ready for a tickle fight
4181s	I think so
4186s	come here
4192s	uh is Ellie more CPU or GPU intensive
4196s	game trying to figure out my bottleneck
4197s	CPU big time
4203s	it also uses a lot of RAM
4205s	warning on that one but yeah it's it's
4207s	definitely CPU a lot of the stuff that's
4210s	um
4211s	if you're having troubles especially
4212s	with like a lot of enemies on screen
4215s	um and stutter slowdowns things like
4217s	that uh if you have very like a very
4220s	powerful GPU and even a very powerful
4222s	CPU and you're trying to um
4225s	uh you're wondering why you're getting
4226s	terrible performances in general just
4228s	anyway if you have a very strong system
4230s	and you're wondering why your
4231s	performance is terrible turn streamer
4233s	mode on
4234s	trust me it will help a lot
4237s	foreign
4250s	there's a very specific problem that
4252s	happens that was a bad order
4254s	um and like if it is what I think it is
4256s	that would be causing that to happen uh
4259s	like it's just a massive amount of
4261s	frames
4266s	it's not usually quite this extreme but
4268s	like I've seen people be like oh I just
4269s	gained like a hundred frames on average
4272s	you're like
4273s	that's not good there was 100 frames to
4276s	grab off the floor
4300s	get back here
4324s	finish those tight
4333s	here we go
4337s	almost there
4340s	just call it already there we go
4347s	is that zombie again
4349s	nailed it here we go
4356s	first of all
4367s	if you haven't seen this before this is
4369s	a pretty sweet item
4370s	if you have
4373s	forging potential left on an item
4376s	you can duplicate it
4379s	but they're in creation it sets both of
4381s	them to zero forge potential afterwards
4382s	so it doesn't use as much as you can
4384s	without finishing it off so getting into
4386s	like a it's a really good spot
4390s	and you just get two of them
4395s	you can't do it over and over and over
4397s	and over because I need to have some
4398s	left
4401s	but
4405s	let's take two cracks at this eh
4414s	so I think the less bonus damage taken
4416s	from critical strikes is what we want
4417s	the most because that's just basically
4419s	that like we no longer need credivoids
4421s	on any gear we're just good to go there
4424s	the frailty's pretty great too
4427s	um and the void damage is also awesome
4430s	we do have some physical damage that
4431s	we're
4433s	probably
4434s	um creating just because there's still a
4436s	bunch of melee physical damage here so
4438s	it might help me
4441s	really what we're hoping for is that
4443s	last one
4448s	and like
4451s	I hope I didn't have my
4454s	self covering the screen too much there
4455s	I I have a an unfortunately amazing
4459s	track record with this sort of thing
4462s	so I'm kind of assuming it's it's gonna
4464s	miss here
4466s	I assume there'll be an update uh
4469s	animations for the reaper form Lich uh
4472s	is the skill tree getting touched at all
4474s	yeah a lot um yeah there's there's I
4476s	think there's a bunch of new animations
4477s	I don't think it's a complete
4479s	like ground up start from scratch new
4481s	animations but I think there's a few new
4483s	ones
4484s	um
4486s	some of them may just be like tweaked
4487s	versions of the old or something like
4488s	that to fit better with the new model
4489s	but it's pretty similar model so not a
4491s	lot needs to change
4493s	uh and then as far as this the tree
4495s	getting touched I don't know I know
4497s	basically if we've gone a pass through
4499s	basically every single tree so there's
4500s	something touched on most trees
4504s	um
4506s	I'd be surprised if it was if it was uh
4508s	any major changes we also haven't
4510s	finished uh balancing for things like
4512s	that
4514s	any plans to bring back the passive grid
4516s	also what happened to sockets are they
4518s	still planned
4519s	um so yeah passive grid as a passive
4521s	system no we're gonna stick with our
4523s	current passive system as far as a
4526s	um as another mechanic that works with
4528s	something else in some other way with
4530s	some expansion or something like that I
4532s	don't know I think it'd be really cool
4533s	and I'll advocate for it but we'll see
4535s	what happens
4537s	um
4539s	and then as far as sockets I I think
4541s	socket's really interesting because
4544s	um if you look at an item like this
4547s	um and you have like the affix shards
4549s	the like an empty slot an empty affix
4552s	slot and an affix shard in our in our
4555s	crafting system is basically just a
4557s	socket and a jam you know it's basically
4560s	the same thing
4562s	um so sockets are tricky uh we we've
4565s	come we've looked at a few different
4566s	versions of sockets
4567s	um one of which is like an affix that's
4570s	that's as plus one socket instead of the
4573s	affix so it's just like a flat one-tier
4576s	affix
4577s	um we also looked at a version where
4578s	like the exalted version was two sockets
4580s	and something like that
4582s	um it's a pretty huge jump though so
4584s	it's the scaling is really hard to do
4588s	um and then once again you run into
4589s	issues with item length as well so you
4591s	gotta be careful with that
4593s	tricky it's a tricky thing to do I think
4596s	sockets you'll see in a little bit of a
4600s	non-standard way
4601s	that's what I think will happen nothing
4603s	set in stone yet for them
4613s	first try
4620s	foreign
4630s	oh my goodness
4637s	oh
4641s	all right we'll take those
4646s	I I swear to God this is the standard
4650s	stock client I I can I can prove it is
4654s	the stock client
4655s	like there's it shows this is this is
4659s	what's running right now here's a
4660s	screenshot of it
4661s	on Steam it it would show the beta
4665s	Branch running if there was something
4666s	other running
4674s	oh that's hilarious you know it's
4676s	celebration time
4678s	celebration time look at this good boy
4680s	oh look at that good boy
4691s	foreign
4698s	I don't know how
4726s	does anyone know how to give mod status
4728s	to someone on
4733s	twitch
4734s	oh there it is it's just not on
4736s	streamlabs that makes sense
4741s	gotcha Steve
4749s	all right
4751s	it might be literally
4756s	or you click on in in the actual twitch
4759s	UI you just click on the name there's an
4761s	add mod button
4764s	all right let's get this picture off the
4766s	screen
4767s	uh enough time with that let's get back
4768s	into some combat
4770s	you know what I'm feeling bold
4773s	let's go
4775s	get some experience because I'm it's a
4777s	little lobby lobby level here we go
4781s	all right
4785s	let's get some more questions
4786s	I'll just be asking again what is the
4788s	design reason for sets not having
4790s	legendary potential just want to hear
4791s	your other team's thoughts and
4792s	philosophies well okay so the
4795s	one one thing that I did I did mention
4798s	was reiterated again is just the items
4800s	would become too large and unwieldy
4801s	there's too many stats there's too many
4803s	things going into it it's just it's just
4804s	all over the place and it's
4807s	um it's just too many stats so right
4809s	right off the bat it's kind of precluded
4811s	from being it
4812s	a legendary potential there uh second
4814s	thing having the upgrade pass
4818s	mechanically differ from item type to
4820s	item type is is good is interesting it's
4824s	um it lets us whoa create different
4829s	um activities to do with with unique
4832s	rewards uh that are that's just gives
4836s	gives more things to do it's like maybe
4837s	it's another dungeon reward that lets
4839s	you scale a set item uh and just the
4843s	fact that it's different is uh
4845s	maintenance is like a new interesting
4847s	mechanic we can work in there so it just
4848s	adds depth that way
4850s	by just not having it be the same thing
4854s	um and then it's it's also the fact that
4856s	they would be it's like that's the item
4858s	type name it's it's a legendary the
4860s	thing that makes it a legendary is
4863s	um it started out as unique it was
4865s	combined with an exalted and it became a
4867s	legendary so
4868s	um are now set items that are legendary
4872s	because they had legendary potential
4873s	they became a legendary
4875s	um is it now a legendary set item I
4878s	guess it kind of blurs the lines then
4880s	you're talking about legendaries and
4881s	then like our legendary set items
4883s	included in legendaries and muddies the
4885s	water and complexity that way as well
4888s	um so there's a whole bunch of little
4890s	reasons there's nothing huge in major
4892s	but there's a whole bunch of like little
4893s	things you're just like well that's not
4895s	ideal
4896s	well that's not great oh we should avoid
4899s	doing that well maybe we shouldn't do
4900s	that and it's just like it all builds up
4903s	to the point where you're just like no
4904s	we're not doing that
4913s	dude you always got great great comments
4916s	I just saw your name and I'm like oh
4917s	it's gonna be good let's take a breather
4920s	hi ancient Immortal Le player adjacently
4924s	an emperor of a bunch of skeletons
4926s	formerly known as Grail uh spoiler alert
4929s	any ideas what we can do after I have
4931s	conquered the known world and pretty
4932s	much chill in my Palace all day long
4935s	it's getting kind of boring so my advice
4937s	is because you got so many skeletons
4939s	laying around
4942s	is you Cobble them together in different
4944s	ways and start like a soap opera because
4947s	I mean if you're stuck at home on the
4949s	couch all day what's better than a good
4952s	soap right
4955s	that's what that's what I feel like
4957s	they're all there do your bidding
4958s	anyways
4963s	it's just easier that way
4969s	streamer clients
4976s	I I wonder sometimes myself you know
4979s	like how
4982s	I set up the I set up so much stuff to
4984s	like
4985s	make to take a second crack at it
4987s	because I'm like there's no way
4989s	that's a one in four shot so it's not
4991s	that bad
4996s	all right any plans to uh to have like
4999s	collectors part in the stash where you
5002s	can stash each unique set item once I'm
5004s	a collector yeah so this is a cool um a
5007s	cool feature that actually gets
5007s	requested a fair bit I I'd really like
5009s	to have something like that
5011s	um
5012s	I think it would work better as an
5016s	achievement tracker
5018s	in the
5020s	there's pros and cons in both of these
5022s	different ways but this is the sort of
5024s	two ways to do this one you have a
5026s	single stash page that like Scrolls and
5030s	has like a unique space for every single
5033s	unique item to go in it and and you're
5035s	filling it up like a like a coin
5038s	collector book or something like that or
5040s	like a stamp collector book where you're
5041s	like filling in these slots with all of
5043s	each thing that can go in there which
5044s	which is very cool
5046s	um
5048s	it's a little unwieldy it's a little
5050s	like there's there's a lot going on here
5052s	there's this giant page that I'm gonna
5054s	scroll through just to find it and
5056s	everything it kind of sucks
5058s	um
5059s	the other option that I've seen
5061s	suggested which I think I actually
5062s	prefer but I I don't know and I could be
5064s	con probably pretty easily convince
5066s	someone with the other is is having it
5068s	be more of an achievement tracker
5070s	um and and one of the big upsides to
5072s	this as well is you don't have to
5073s	actually take a copy of the item that
5076s	you found and stick it in that slot it
5080s	would just it would just work on like
5082s	every time you find a unique it would
5084s	just update an achievement tracker it
5086s	wouldn't matter if you like you have to
5088s	pick it up but it would be like
5089s	have you ever picked up this unique
5091s	check have you ever picked up this
5093s	unique check
5095s	um I I think I think that's the way I
5097s	probably well that's a nice space to
5099s	craft on
5100s	um I think that's the way I probably
5101s	would prefer to see it myself but
5104s	super open to feedback on it
5106s	um
5108s	and and it's it's definitely uh like
5110s	Grill quests I've I've gone on a couple
5112s	D2 Grail quests I've only ever completed
5114s	it once
5119s	I think I think I finished it I don't
5121s	know it's so long ago I know I know I've
5124s	found every item in Diablo 2. I know
5126s	that I don't know if it's always been
5129s	on the same time I know I've started a
5130s	couple Braille quests they're tough
5133s	definitely given up on more than a
5134s	couple
5136s	anyways
5138s	um
5140s	having it automatically track makes
5141s	things a lot easier
5157s	and don't forget to put Atlas seatbelt
5158s	game and the question so I see it can
5160s	answer it I did see one here that didn't
5162s	happen that's okay let's answer it now
5163s	any plans to make sets best in slot for
5166s	some builds
5168s	um
5169s	we really try and avoid saying like Okay
5172s	let's tune this item so it's best in
5174s	slot for this specific build no matter
5176s	what that's a statement that we really
5178s	try and avoid
5181s	um normally what we're looking at it
5184s	um more in the terms of hey are there is
5187s	this is this a tool we could add a cool
5189s	tool we could add to this builds kit is
5192s	this something that might improve this
5194s	build or give it another option on ways
5196s	to build it and like uh think things
5199s	like that those are the types of
5200s	statements we're looking at more so when
5203s	we're talking about adding new items if
5205s	we are looking at specific builds that
5206s	it could go in we're generally more
5208s	looking at
5210s	um
5212s	come on back uh I just really like that
5214s	when we added the ability to like bring
5215s	them back early oh Game Changer
5218s	um
5220s	yeah I
5222s	I don't see any reason why a set item
5224s	couldn't be best in slot for certain
5226s	builds
5229s	um specifically tuning it so that it
5231s	intentionally is best in slot that's not
5233s	something we really do
5246s	oh
5247s	you know what's happening
5249s	I'm taking a lot of poison damage
5259s	got that 12 all res certainly helping
5268s	so that's our goal is get a bunch of
5269s	poison res
5271s	on our chest
5273s	the legendary potential in the chest get
5274s	a bunch of poison res
5276s	that's our goal
5284s	which um
5288s	Echo has poison res oh my goodness
5294s	I know I can leave
5306s	same foods that I just made legendary
5309s	it's funny
5319s	we have to have multiple achievements
5321s	then one for any stats and one for
5323s	perfect stats we just have like a check
5324s	mark if you found it a little star if
5327s	it's perfect there you go
5329s	uh one advantage of the coin collection
5332s	model is that when people make an uh on
5335s	a unofficial ladder deciding whether uh
5338s	to put your ravenous voids in the tab or
5341s	wear them add strategy yeah
5344s	I if it was going to be a physical thing
5346s	that you're putting in there you'd have
5347s	to take them out too wouldn't you
5349s	like
5351s	the bowl stamping having having like
5353s	permanently immortalized in some giant
5355s	tab I think oh
5360s	I I can I can feel the support tickets
5363s	coming in now I put it in my stash and
5366s	it's gone forever and I can't get it
5367s	back like even with the giant warnings
5370s	all over it like this is permanent don't
5372s	put anything in here the big pop-up that
5374s	shows up and it's like warning warning
5375s	this is permanent we
5377s	thousands of support tickets guaranteed
5381s	now it has to be removable
5390s	because this
5392s	tells you it's a permanent decision
5394s	several times
5396s	oh boy do we get a lot of sport tickets
5398s	about that
5400s	and they always State you never warned
5402s	me
5405s	and the response is always
5407s	sorry about that
5411s	because to be fair if it's not something
5413s	that people are seeing it's not being
5414s	worn well enough so it is on us
5423s	so we start adding these skill testing
5425s	questions
5427s	and it's like it's a it's a really long
5430s	binary string that translates into
5433s	this is permanent and you have to like
5435s	go look up what it means online you
5437s	could like copy and paste and Google it
5439s	to see what it actually means so you can
5440s	type out the words
5442s	foreign
5446s	we like don't let you paste things into
5449s	the fields you actually have to type it
5450s	out there we go perfect
5454s	it's like those um
5457s	there's some game where like it says
5459s	there's like a little a prompt when
5460s	you're making your character it says
5461s	please uh please enter uh character name
5464s	and if you type the words like character
5466s	name or something like that it goes haha
5468s	very funny pick a pick an original name
5470s	and then if you type in original name I
5473s	like it just keeps like giving you new
5475s	ways to take the instructions way too
5477s	literally and clever responses when you
5479s	do
5483s	I really like that I don't know why they
5485s	reminded me of it
5486s	all right more questions we'll get there
5496s	in Gates of orium and epoch's call are
5499s	is Gates Memorial Epoch still coming at
5501s	some point uh how will you balance the
5503s	critical chance
5504s	changes uh oh it's two questions here
5506s	let's pull these off
5508s	um okay so Gatesville Morgan epoch's
5509s	call were names of endgame systems that
5512s	we had
5514s	um
5515s	Loosely created some information for
5518s	that we had planned to release
5520s	um
5521s	early on and we have that was before we
5524s	had really created
5526s	um
5528s	uh the dungeon system hadn't even been
5530s	considered yet
5532s	um the model the systems changed
5534s	immensely since then
5537s	um there those are really good names to
5540s	use
5542s	um and I think there's a very good
5544s	chance we'll use them at some point for
5546s	end game systems
5549s	um we don't have anything specifically
5551s	planned for either of those names at the
5553s	moment anymore
5556s	um most of the features that we were
5557s	planning on putting into those either we
5559s	realized are not possible or we're kind
5562s	of building them into other Engine
5564s	Systems
5578s	okay next one achievements unique
5580s	tracker would still make us need to
5583s	browser dive to see the items
5586s	I love the unique tab in other games
5588s	because they just look at the stuff we
5590s	don't have as you were saying like
5592s	um
5593s	having the like tool tips available for
5595s	the items that you haven't picked up yet
5596s	I mean you can still put that in
5598s	in an achievement list
5608s	uh when are you planning for this
5609s	multiplayer when it's ready
5612s	which I know is such a non-answer and it
5614s	bothers people apologize
5621s	uh we separate leaderboards and multiple
5623s	launches for example will there be a
5625s	bunch of different ladders such as solo
5626s	ladder two player ladder three plot by
5629s	the player ladder yeah
5630s	basically
5632s	we we're really we had a tough time
5633s	deciding what axes we were gonna split
5636s	the ladders on
5638s	and it still could change a little bit
5639s	but
5640s	um number of players is a big one and
5642s	it's pretty important
5644s	um
5645s	hardcore solo
5648s	things like that
5653s	hey guys just dropping by to ask
5655s	something I've been thinking about a lot
5657s	lately did you guys ever consider making
5659s	a blockchains easier to get and nerfing
5661s	blocked effect to compensate
5664s	uh there are a lot of cool shields in
5666s	the game but I always feel like I should
5667s	use Bastion in the end uh end game
5669s	because capping block chance is almost
5671s	impossible in a lot of cases
5673s	um yeah it's
5676s	um
5677s	uh any question that starts with did you
5680s	ever consider on a popular topic chances
5682s	are the answer is yes just right out of
5684s	the gate
5685s	um this one definitely yes we we have
5687s	talked about this quite a bit
5689s	um
5692s	it might not be balanced quite right but
5695s	that's not
5697s	um a universal change we're likely to
5699s	make having blockchains be capable
5704s	um
5705s	easily I
5708s	it's a tricky thing there's I don't want
5710s	to go too deep into the defenses because
5712s	there's only 20 25 minutes left here but
5715s	um
5716s	there's this sentiment that I personally
5719s	don't agree with
5720s	um but I I do understand where it's
5721s	where it comes from uh where it
5724s	basically states that any defensive
5727s	layer
5728s	that is
5731s	um chance based
5733s	to have a percentage reduction
5736s	if you can't get it to a hundred percent
5739s	chance it might as well be zero
5744s	um
5747s	and I I like the the big one this pops
5751s	up with a lot is cred avoidance when I'm
5753s	talking about credibility
5754s	um
5756s	and and I I understand the sentiment I
5759s	believe me I do just want to get that
5760s	out of the way right out of the out of
5762s	the way to the start but
5764s	um I I don't agree with it at all really
5768s	um
5769s	I don't think it's bad to cap it or gets
5772s	100 but it's it's definitely not
5774s	worthless if it's not capped
5780s	I might just die here we'll see what
5782s	happens
5788s	uh what was I talking about though uh
5791s	blockchains yeah I I block block is a
5795s	very popular and core mechanic to a lot
5797s	of builds and
5800s	um is is a primary defensive layer for
5802s	an entire base class and a secondary
5805s	defensive player for several others
5807s	um
5809s	no I even hit function but it's just
5811s	timing too late uh
5813s	oh yeah so that means as well just give
5815s	me a second I'll get to it
5817s	um
5818s	I'm trying to say here I I think that
5822s	adding more options for
5825s	uh for block block builds will will have
5828s	a huge impact on the
5831s	um just just on on the diversity of
5833s	shields that are used
5836s	um
5838s	there's probably a few Shields that are
5841s	not designed initially at least as like
5844s	um main mainstream endgame shields uh
5849s	that are that are being compared to
5851s	uh with Bastion and then
5854s	as far as just like uh like ongoing
5856s	block and I'm using a shield
5859s	therefore I'm gonna use the best block
5861s	Shield
5863s	um there's always going to be a
5864s	mathematically best block Shield
5866s	like that's just gonna be unless unless
5868s	we have several that have the exact same
5871s	block stats and a few other things that
5872s	are a little bit different
5874s	um
5875s	maybe that's what we have to do but I
5877s	really hope not
5879s	oh I just kicked my chair behind me that
5880s	really hurt a lot I'm just saying this
5883s	so I don't start yelling into the
5884s	microphone
5889s	okay uh yeah
5893s	wow
5895s	uh
5896s	something up on screen
5899s	oh my goodness oh
5901s	it's comically large yes Mike good job
5906s	sorry about that
5914s	oh my foot hurts
5919s	oh
5923s	there we go
5926s	oh okay this is showcasing uh
5930s	oh stagger and stun animations
5934s	and hit effects and death animations
5936s	it's just a whole bunch of General
5938s	combat Improvement feels
5941s	um with a weird amount of hammers
5945s	but yeah there's a lot of like staggers
5947s	that are happening
5950s	I'm gonna break this down later you'll
5951s	see there's there's a whole bunch of
5953s	like they're getting hit and they're not
5954s	they're they're their animation is
5957s	getting interrupted to stagger the
5959s	character and it doesn't have a gameplay
5960s	implication but it does make it visually
5963s	appear more appropriate
5974s	okay cool here we go
5977s	a little teaser but stuff's looking like
5979s	coming up here and I missed the question
5981s	either it was a two-part question and I
5983s	skipped the second part
5984s	a little while back so I need to go back
5986s	and find that
5988s	I apologize
5991s	uh okay how will you balance Critical
5994s	Strike changes
5996s	um where increased crit is going to be
5997s	changes into flat crit
6001s	um
6002s	it's a pretty it's a pretty wide open
6004s	question how will we bounce well I I
6008s	don't know the exact uh details on how
6010s	we're gonna do that how what it's going
6011s	to look like and everything but
6014s	um the goal I think will be to have
6017s	similar levels of overall crit chance
6020s	for builds that already exist so not
6023s	having a huge impact on Bounce overall
6026s	um but it's more about
6029s	um
6030s	simplifying the
6032s	uh the system a little bit just and it
6035s	has kind of a loaded statement
6037s	simplifying something but
6039s	um
6041s	the complexity that it does bring for
6043s	having added and increased on a
6046s	percentage ability like that
6049s	um that's that's a very common ability
6051s	does have
6053s	um
6054s	comprehension issues
6056s	pretty frequently
6059s	um it's it's extremely common to see
6063s	um I've got 100 increased Critical
6065s	Strike chance why am I not always credit
6068s	like that's that's a very very common
6072s	um misconception or problem or issue or
6074s	misunderstanding to have
6076s	um
6078s	and if we can if we can help alleviate
6081s	that without removing much depth in the
6083s	system
6085s	um that's a big win
6088s	so we'll be looking to do that
6091s	and that's not this I I also think
6093s	that's not to say that the stat becomes
6095s	impossible to include
6098s	um
6100s	it's it's more that we're looking to
6102s	remove increased Critical Strike chance
6105s	as a primary or common stat there's a
6108s	way to put it removing it as a common
6110s	stat so it still is possible to get but
6114s	um
6116s	exceedingly rare
6123s	some it's like it's a similar sort of
6125s	style to the
6127s	um what we're doing to weapons so the
6130s	the base the base damage on this weapon
6132s	will change from physical little like
6136s	101 melee physical damage uh in point
6138s	nine it's just gonna say 101 melee
6140s	damage and it's not going to have that
6141s	physical tag and it's going to get the
6143s	element from whatever ability you're
6146s	using so if you use this with void
6147s	cleave it'll be 101 void damage
6150s	which is great
6152s	um because it'll help things scale
6153s	better because right now there's so much
6155s	physical damage that's happening here
6156s	still even though it's void cleave it's
6158s	a ton of time that's physical
6160s	um and voically might be a bad example
6162s	because it is a melee physical skill
6168s	but it'll help overall
6173s	it'll it'll especially help a lot
6176s	um
6177s	uh
6179s	spellblades a lot
6187s	I have more questions hello guys just
6189s	dropped to ask something I've been
6191s	thinking a lot about lately do you guys
6192s	ever consider making oh everything
6193s	whoops
6195s	I need like a little like ability like
6197s	tick off questions like I'll answer that
6198s	good job Mike way to go
6201s	uh hi Mike shortly after chapters 10 to
6203s	12 were revealed you mentioned on
6205s	Discord that the plan at the time was
6206s	step chapter 10 by launch and the
6208s	remaining chapter sometime afterwards
6210s	that's still the planner has changed I
6211s	think that's still the plan
6215s	um
6217s	there's there is work being done on
6221s	other parts of the campaign a lot of
6223s	work being done in a lot of other parts
6224s	of the campaign actually
6227s	um just to improve the quality
6229s	um replayability fun all those sorts of
6232s	stuff of the um of the campaign that
6233s	already exists
6236s	just the angles running it looked like I
6237s	had no weapon for a second it was like
6239s	did I drop it somehow no again
6242s	um
6245s	stuff's beefy here
6254s	foreign
6266s	will there be a wipe when multiplayer
6268s	drops
6269s	um
6272s	offline characters will not be able to
6275s	transition to an online environment we
6278s	will not delete characters off of your
6280s	computer all of your saves are currently
6282s	stored on your local device and we're
6284s	not going to delete your save files off
6286s	of your computer however we're also not
6288s	going to accept those save files that
6290s	you have on your computer as legitimate
6293s	save files that we will upload to our
6294s	servers when we start playing
6296s	multiplayer so you'll still be able to
6299s	use those same save files playing
6302s	offline when multiplayer goes live you
6305s	will not be able to bring those
6307s	characters online
6310s	so
6313s	my one of my favorite means well yes but
6316s	actually no
6330s	uh provided that it's not entry-based
6332s	chance yet
6334s	uh any plans to make multiplayer testing
6336s	opt in without having it be Community
6339s	tested program you get more volunteers
6341s	to help you test the servers yes um we
6344s	we do have plans to uh open up a little
6347s	bit more uh large-scale multiplayer
6351s	testing and lower barrier uh entry
6356s	into that system
6358s	um
6359s	the system's still rough enough that
6363s	um
6366s	oh opening if we just said okay anyone
6368s	who wants to play multiplayer can opt
6369s	into it go ahead download it there you
6371s	go have fun
6373s	um
6375s	the suddenly people are getting in
6378s	without going through the process of uh
6382s	learning uh exactly what the state of
6385s	multiplayer is and what to expect what
6387s	bugs to expect
6388s	um there's there's no support network
6389s	for those people in in that they learn
6393s	from other players quickly that that
6395s	okay well this feature doesn't work and
6396s	oh you can't do this and that's no big
6399s	deal because it's still in a very early
6401s	stage of multiplayer
6403s	um but as soon as it's okay anyone can
6405s	join and just come do this it's well why
6408s	haven't you fixed this yet
6411s	um and there's a lot of things that
6414s	would super duper fit into that why
6416s	haven't you fixed this yet category
6418s	um and the answer is because it's not
6420s	ready
6421s	um so so that's why we can't release a a
6423s	wide open version like that just yet
6426s	um I I think there's possibilities that
6428s	we could see something along the lines
6430s	of uh like an open weekend or something
6433s	like that where we're just like we're
6436s	gonna crash the servers come help us
6437s	crash the servers let's do this let's
6438s	see what happens when we crash the
6440s	servers
6441s	um and just let anyone in that wants to
6443s	get in
6446s	um so yeah things like that I think
6447s	would be cool um and then once we get a
6449s	little closer just having having that CT
6451s	program
6452s	going forward is still something we're
6454s	interested in
6455s	um but maybe the multiplayer is not
6456s	maybe being part of the city department
6458s	is not mandatory to play multiplayer
6461s	um even before it's released that's that
6462s	could that could happen too we're not
6464s	entirely clear on exactly what's going
6465s	to happen oh boy
6469s	that's a bird for sure
6485s	are all these additions will be included
6488s	next facts it's been almost here yeah
6489s	there's tons of stuff coming the next
6490s	match it's gonna be cool
6494s	we don't really hide stuff or like
6496s	you're like oh we built this sweet thing
6498s	we're releasing it a couple patches no
6500s	it's like we built something sweet it's
6501s	in let's do this let's go release it
6505s	um
6507s	so yeah all the stuff I've been talking
6508s	about it's all in all the stuff that
6509s	we've been teasing anything I've been
6510s	teasing on stream is gonna be in for
6512s	next match
6515s	I'm not gonna I'm not gonna tease
6516s	something like this and not not bring it
6517s	for next match oh that would be mean
6521s	someone could probably think of an
6523s	example when we've done that already and
6524s	I am sorry
6529s	I bet the where bear rework I bet we
6532s	teased the way where we work like
6534s	two three patches before it actually
6536s	happens
6542s	will this game ever be completed yeah of
6544s	course
6552s	would your stash transition to new
6554s	online characters no your entire saves
6557s	everything is stored offline on your
6559s	computer
6561s	um
6563s	your your materials here
6565s	like like if if I just got to bring 22
6568s	Runes of Creation with me into online
6570s	play oh my God that's such a massive
6573s	Head Start If I got to bring
6575s	346 glyphs of Despair into online play
6578s	oh my God that's such a huge Advantage
6582s	Head Start like that is crazy if I just
6585s	got to bring 6.3 million gold because I
6587s	just had it lying around oh my God
6590s	that's such a huge Advantage
6592s	um no we we can't we can't bring any of
6594s	that information in uh when multiplayer
6596s	drops if you want to play online you're
6598s	playing from Level zero level one
6601s	um
6603s	you you won't have any
6606s	uh any equipment no runes no nothing
6608s	it's it's like you started a brand new
6609s	account
6611s	um
6614s	you can still play your offline stuff
6616s	offline but online is brand new anyone
6618s	who's also is important to note here
6620s	while we're talking about this anyone
6622s	who's um in the CT program the CT
6625s	program is on a different I want to say
6627s	realm it's in a different bubble than
6630s	everything else so people who are
6632s	playing in the CT program right now the
6634s	characters that they're creating will
6635s	not be playable in the main
6637s	multiple environments they're also not
6639s	getting a head start advantage
6641s	the thing um like a knowledge Advantage
6643s	I guess because they're seeing things
6645s	um and they'll they know certain things
6647s	that are coming before they actually
6648s	happen and things like that but they're
6650s	they're not getting a functional
6651s	advantage
6664s	I need a functional advantage to tell
6666s	you what
6667s	this is why the game this is why the
6668s	game gives me these ridiculous legendary
6671s	roles it's because it knows I need them
6678s	all right getting pretty close to the
6680s	end of the stream here so if you have
6681s	any more questions please toss those in
6684s	chat and I'll try and get them as quick
6685s	as I can trying to hammer through a few
6687s	here speaking of offline characters
6688s	we'll be able to name them freely uh as
6691s	per recent steam thread uh words like
6695s	butts or rapid are banned rapid is
6698s	banned really
6699s	that's funny
6701s	that's really funny
6706s	uh I'm not 100 sure what'll happen with
6708s	that
6709s	um honestly it'll probably use the same
6711s	naming restrictions online and offline
6715s	uh rapid seems weird that that's banned
6722s	oh poison the pick up the poison rats
6726s	bike what are you doing
6729s	oh 14 armor who cares
6738s	foreign
6754s	you know what we're doing it
6758s	poison rest is just just too much
6761s	okay
6763s	um
6777s	sure safe one
6780s	I feel like there's probably better
6782s	things to put it in but
6784s	that's okay
6790s	next question Mike get to the questions
6793s	uh okay don't die either following up on
6796s	the Block discussion that the entropy
6798s	chance statement uh how is your stance
6800s	on making chance based systems like
6802s	critical strikes blocks or Invasion
6803s	having such a component to make them
6805s	more reliable
6813s	um
6815s	oh I see what you're saying so like
6818s	um if if you
6823s	it's it's so well the question what the
6825s	question is asking for this is a pretty
6827s	complex question for me to the end of
6828s	the question I think I think this is
6830s	what you're asking for
6832s	um if here is
6834s	uh zero luck
6837s	and here is
6839s	oh my God what the [ __ ] amazing luck
6841s	this is amazing and here is super sad my
6845s	luck's terrible
6847s	um and and this is this is blockchains
6851s	block percentage
6853s	um and so zero being like say you have
6855s	50 block and block chance and you
6859s	literally block and you you've been
6861s	attacked 100 times and you blocked 50 of
6863s	them that's the zero Mark here uh and
6865s	this is your fifth string block chance
6867s	let's say fifty percent
6872s	this is 100 blocks this is zero blocks
6875s	and this is 50 blocks there we go
6878s	um from 100 hits and and so
6883s	um like an entropy reduction system is
6887s	uh trying to bring people who are these
6890s	outliers into the center artificially
6894s	um so
6896s	say so we assume you're at 50 always to
6899s	start off with and you block once
6902s	and then your blockchains becomes 49.
6905s	and you block again your blockchains
6907s	becomes 48. when you miss a block and
6909s	your blockchain goes back up to 49.
6912s	and then you miss another one and it
6914s	goes up to 50. and then you miss 80 in a
6917s	row and it's up at 100.
6920s	and then because your block chance is so
6922s	high and you start blocking a whole
6924s	bunch in a row and then you come back
6925s	down so it's it's this at it's this
6928s	forcing you back to the to the point
6931s	where where your average should be
6934s	um and it's it's just stopping because
6937s	with with any sort of percent system
6939s	like this in a proper random system
6942s	um given enough time
6946s	um
6947s	you will receive strings at 50 you will
6950s	eventually receive strings of blocks
6953s	successful blocks in the thousands and
6955s	strings of successful fail blocks in the
6957s	thousands given an like an infinite
6959s	amount of time and an infinite amount of
6961s	attempts at this will happen that's just
6963s	the way math Works
6964s	um
6966s	practically for almost every single
6968s	person that plays it will stay extremely
6970s	close to 50 or whatever the actual
6972s	percentage is
6974s	um
6975s	it will it won't it will it'll like go
6978s	to here as like the max for most people
6980s	that actually experience
6983s	um it won't it won't you won't see
6985s	people get like way out here that just
6987s	almost never happens
6991s	um
6992s	and personally I'm not a huge fan of
6995s	these
6996s	um entropy correction systems or
6999s	whatever
7001s	however
7003s	however
7005s	we do have gear in the game that
7008s	literally does this
7012s	um
7013s	so if you really want it equip it
7019s	oh okay speaking of which I'm about to
7021s	die
7034s	thank you
7036s	I think it may actually be called
7038s	entropy or something
7050s	yeah just want to fight one at a time
7054s	come on down
7066s	oh with the laundry thing I think part
7068s	of like if you look at the roots of a
7070s	game like this and even just like the
7072s	the game itself as it stands on its own
7074s	I I think it's really interesting when
7076s	you have these big swingy things that
7077s	happen
7079s	um
7079s	it's like oh my God you'll never believe
7081s	what happens
7082s	Story Time like oh I hit 40 blocks in a
7086s	row in this clutch moment and I only had
7087s	10 block chance and it was amazing and
7089s	it's probably because of it beat the
7090s	boss oh it's cool
7092s	um and yeah there's the inverse of that
7094s	too but uh it still makes for a good
7096s	story anyway some one of the best
7097s	stories I have is you know getting
7100s	stalked by a cougar after having a boat
7102s	stolen off of the back of a trailer and
7104s	the strap ripped off as we were
7106s	traveling you know like like
7108s	good stories come from things going
7110s	horribly wrong
7113s	um so yeah it's
7116s	maybe unlikely
7119s	all right oh I'm kind of behind here
7121s	Greg from accounting you may have to
7123s	wait uh we're gonna see them out of
7125s	total uncollected cold per character in
7127s	prepared Gilly reports
7129s	that would be hilarious that we don't
7131s	track it uh any plans to release the
7133s	microtransaction shot before 1.0 yes uh
7136s	so if multiplayer is not in a state
7138s	where it's ready for public opt-in then
7140s	it's safe to say multiplayer won't be
7142s	here in 2022. I am not going to comment
7144s	on the assumption but I
7146s	drawing assumptions from the evidence is
7149s	a dangerous game at best
7151s	also I think
7153s	I think a lot of these issues with crit
7155s	could be solved if character sheet and
7157s	more information instead of having to
7159s	change crit completely
7161s	um the problem really the information is
7164s	there very clearly on the crit on the
7166s	character sheet like it just says what
7167s	the number is uh it says what the bass
7169s	is I I the problem comes from seeing
7172s	things where it says I don't even have
7174s	anything where it just says like here's
7176s	a bunch of increased crit chance
7179s	um and like you hold this at like or uh
7182s	there and it like describes what it is
7184s	even and it's yeah
7188s	right writing it down having information
7189s	to read in the game is very rarely the
7192s	solution for things like that because
7195s	getting people to read is the hardest
7199s	thing to ever the hardest thing to do in
7201s	the developing a game the absolute
7203s	hardest thing to do is get someone to
7205s	read what you've written that is by far
7207s	the hardest thing to do
7209s	as a game developer designer just if you
7212s	can if you can get someone to read
7213s	something oh god tier unlocked
7218s	anyways
7220s	I had a great time today I hope all you
7222s	did too uh if we made any mistakes or
