| 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 |
| 3075s | perfect |
| 3082s | I'm just gonna just taking a stroll |
| 3084s | through the neighborhood |
| 3091s | come on |
| 3092s | all right let's get let's get to a |
| 3094s | question here |
| 3095s | I'm apologizing I took so long of just |
| 3098s | just in my own world they're doing |
| 3100s | nothing |
| 3101s | scroll back up and find somebody missed |
| 3103s | probably |
| 3106s | make the armor and weapon somebody's in |
| 3108s | looking and shiny yet hi Max was the dog |
| 3110s | here hi Maximus |
| 3113s | woof woof you know |
| 3116s | um |
| 3116s | from void Caverns here uh yes was |
| 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 |
| 7225s | you've got something to say or you've |
| 7226s | just had more questions please head on |
| 7228s | over to our Discord we've got an ask the |
| 7230s | devs channel where I'm very very |
| 7233s | um |
| 7233s | active and lots of people to answer |
| 7236s | questions in the community that know a |
| 7237s | lot more than I do even and uh Reddit we |
| 7240s | have forums all sorts of stuff |
| 7243s | um please come talk ask questions come |
| 7245s | say hi we're friendly |
| 7248s | um |
| 7249s | yeah |
| 7250s | that's all I got for you today |
| 7253s | I hope you had fun I know I did I think |
| 7255s | that's what I say we'll see you later |
| 7260s | let's go say hi to someone who's |
| 7261s | streaming who's streaming today |
| 7266s | find someone I don't know |
| 7268s | it was a dangerous game |
| 7271s | I like to see a webcam in a little |
| 7272s | preview |
| 7287s | all right |
