| 92s | question and I'll be happy to answer |
| 94s | questions about the game |
| 96s | how it's going what we're doing |
| 101s | Pizza Burgers first question ah good |
| 103s | question to start with |
| 105s | um |
| 106s | depends on the mood |
| 108s | I'm gonna say overall Burgers I think |
| 111s | there's |
| 113s | um |
| 115s | it's easier for me to make myself we do |
| 117s | have a pizza stone we actually made |
| 118s | pizza last week |
| 120s | um on the barbecue but you know I I I |
| 122s | love a good burger on the grill |
| 125s | we made those last night |
| 131s | thank you very much to Hario has |
| 133s | resubbed for 25 months in a row my |
| 136s | goodness that's great that's just great |
| 140s | love to see it thank you very much |
| 144s | I hope you are still enjoying yourself |
| 152s | how's um I'm really interested now that |
| 155s | the changes the shards are out about the |
| 156s | drop |
| 158s | um drop Pockets where they they |
| 159s | generally drop in in larger clumps and |
| 162s | there are fewer clumps total but it's |
| 164s | the same number of shards on average |
| 167s | um |
| 168s | I'm interested to see how people feel |
| 169s | about that if it's if it's something |
| 171s | that if they've noticed the difference |
| 172s | if it's still like if your feelings |
| 174s | haven't changed at all you're still like |
| 176s | oh I really want to change |
| 178s | um to Auto pickup still |
| 180s | no that's been out for for a week I'm |
| 183s | interested to see here people think |
| 184s | about it |
| 186s | yo this Diablo Ford gameplay looks a bit |
| 188s | different from all the other streams is |
| 190s | it some sort of streamer client or what |
| 192s | not quite hmm but close I guess |
| 198s | now this is actually the live client for |
| 199s | last epoch |
| 201s | and I do expect today will be a very |
| 203s | slow day and that's totally fine |
| 205s | we're just got some fun |
| 208s | I am I am wearing my back slot |
| 210s | disappeared |
| 212s | oh |
| 213s | gas |
| 216s | yeah when these Soul Eater set because I |
| 219s | love it |
| 221s | this wasn't even um this was like snuck |
| 223s | in at the last second into the in the |
| 225s | patch |
| 228s | because I think I I I previewed which |
| 231s | um |
| 232s | uh which which which filters would be |
| 234s | available and armor was not one of them |
| 252s | you're having bad RNG farming Titan |
| 255s | heart 20 plus drops in a week that's |
| 257s | that's a lot of Titan heart drops but |
| 259s | none of them with LP yeah that is low |
| 260s | luck |
| 261s | it happens though there's no ketchup |
| 263s | mechanics either so like |
| 265s | um |
| 267s | like unfortunately it doesn't raise the |
| 270s | chance that your next one's going to |
| 271s | have |
| 272s | uh any LP it's still gonna be the exact |
| 274s | same chance |
| 278s | it's better for the game overall but |
| 281s | you know you can't get an accountant |
| 283s | situation where you're like well I |
| 284s | haven't had one of these draw like if |
| 287s | there was like a a catch-up mechanic or |
| 289s | a Pity system |
| 290s | um where you could say like hey I this |
| 294s | this character hasn't got a LP drop in |
| 297s | forever and like so you know like it's |
| 300s | gonna come soon or something like that |
| 301s | you can you could like |
| 303s | kind of game the system a little bit |
| 305s | that way and it creates it creates |
| 306s | really weird burdens of optimal play |
| 308s | that are just end up not being fun |
| 318s | I got a question can you make a unique |
| 320s | belt that enables you to run through |
| 322s | walls or even missing ground I actually |
| 325s | finished they did another dude for |
| 326s | another game but he blocked you |
| 330s | um oh that was close almost died it's |
| 333s | okay we got we made we made it through |
| 336s | um |
| 340s | short answer is no we can't do that |
| 342s | mostly because the way movement Works |
| 345s | um |
| 346s | the walls create a barrier for uh an |
| 350s | invisible mesh that sits on the ground |
| 352s | that is like the space you can walk on |
| 354s | called the nav mesh |
| 356s | um |
| 357s | and if you were allowed to walk through |
| 359s | walls we'd have to place the uh we have |
| 362s | to change the layout of every single |
| 365s | level to include navmesh |
| 367s | outside of the walkable space |
| 370s | um and then a ton of the like uh there's |
| 373s | a ton of casting |
| 375s | math that happens uh that that checks to |
| 379s | see if it's going to be on the nav mesh |
| 381s | or not which is actually pretty |
| 381s | expensive operation |
| 383s | um because you don't know elevation |
| 385s | necessarily either so you have to like |
| 386s | pick a point where you think it's going |
| 388s | to be and then check like above and |
| 389s | below it |
| 391s | um and you can like you can influence it |
| 392s | would be saying like well I know I'm up |
| 394s | on a ramp so I'm going to check down |
| 395s | more than up and things like that but um |
| 399s | basically you |
| 402s | it would be it would make a lot of |
| 404s | things |
| 405s | we've changed so many things to make |
| 407s | that even possible that |
| 409s | um |
| 410s | the dev time into |
| 413s | uh feature out ratio is so poor that |
| 418s | would be worth it and on top of that I'm |
| 419s | not a huge fan of being able to uh |
| 423s | to walk through walls like that because |
| 425s | I I think it causes a lot of problems |
| 426s | it'll probably cause like a mandatory |
| 428s | item for certain situations |
| 430s | um |
| 432s | kind of like how Enigma did with |
| 434s | teleport D2 |
| 435s | and |
| 438s | so probably not |
| 439s | prefer a multitude of reasons |
| 443s | sorry |
| 448s | I don't like to turn ideas down flat uh |
| 451s | generally because I mean I love I love |
| 453s | hearing about these things but uh |
| 456s | sometimes it's good to keep expectations |
| 457s | realistic |
| 461s | uh meteor shower just makes you smile |
| 462s | every time someone asked in-game chat |
| 464s | the other day if there was an option in |
| 467s | the stash that highlights gear you can |
| 468s | use at your current level thought it was |
| 470s | a good idea there is not a system like |
| 473s | that yet |
| 474s | um stash filtering is |
| 477s | um |
| 479s | it's not overly performant there's a few |
| 482s | problems there but uh I do really want |
| 484s | to get better search and sword systems |
| 486s | for this Dash |
| 488s | um |
| 489s | like there's there's lots of stuff there |
| 491s | that I'm like oh one day that would be |
| 492s | great to have for sure yeah |
| 495s | um |
| 497s | Chief among them is just like a a |
| 499s | stripped down regex like search system |
| 504s | um I think that would be very very cool |
| 506s | to have |
| 517s | any plans for cool cosmetic rewards from |
| 519s | challenges yeah |
| 521s | yeah |
| 523s | um |
| 524s | and and I'm not sure exactly what that I |
| 527s | guess I'll read the whole question next |
| 527s | as long for example maybe a boss that |
| 529s | you could scale the difficulty for let's |
| 530s | say you beat the boss at 250 corruption |
| 533s | you maybe get a certain uh back piece |
| 535s | beat it at 500 corruption maybe you get |
| 536s | an upgraded version of the back piece |
| 538s | kind of show off cosmetic yes |
| 540s | um and there's there's a couple things |
| 542s | here like I mean one of them is you |
| 543s | could just like part of it is just a |
| 546s | sweet item maybe you know like maybe |
| 548s | it's just a sweet item that looks really |
| 550s | awesome |
| 552s | um but then it's tied to the the stats |
| 555s | of that item and you can't put that on |
| 557s | other uh mechanically distinct items so |
| 559s | so there is there's definitely an upside |
| 561s | to having it be a cosmetic reward as |
| 563s | well |
| 564s | um I've mentioned this on previous |
| 566s | streams that I think that uh if we're |
| 568s | gonna do cosmetic rewards for Feats of |
| 571s | Strength In game |
| 573s | um |
| 574s | the the really difficult to get ones |
| 577s | should probably reward some sort of |
| 580s | special |
| 581s | um currency or like uh like a ticket or |
| 585s | a token something lets you redeem the |
| 587s | object for uh a selection of things so |
| 590s | you can pick one that you really like |
| 592s | for things that are like especially |
| 595s | pronounced speeds of strength |
| 599s | I don't think I've ever approached this |
| 601s | boss fight from this angle it's always |
| 603s | been from the from from the southwest |
| 613s | I think I already did this fight |
| 627s | it's going a little better this time |
| 629s | I got new wands since then |
| 635s | over here |
| 641s | boom boom |
| 644s | yeah boom boom bill |
| 657s | let's go to auto trigger unless I move I |
| 659s | hope not |
| 660s | uh at least for now could an uh unstuck |
| 663s | command be helpful it just plasters over |
| 666s | other bugs and should be fixed but it's |
| 668s | never going to be nice we actually do |
| 670s | have something like this on our Dev |
| 672s | servers |
| 674s | um |
| 676s | it there's a few situations where it |
| 679s | actually like lets you get more stuck |
| 683s | um |
| 684s | for for like sequencing issues |
| 687s | uh so we've generally steered clear of |
| 689s | having something like that and debug |
| 690s | Tools in general being included in uh in |
| 693s | builds is something we really like to |
| 695s | avoid |
| 705s | all right will it be an option to create |
| 708s | transmogs make custom characters look |
| 710s | different |
| 712s | um look different from base items |
| 714s | uniques I there's |
| 719s | it was close |
| 722s | uh we do have plans for a trans box |
| 724s | system |
| 725s | um do I know exactly what that's going |
| 727s | to look like or how it's gonna happen or |
| 728s | what's gonna evolve with it in any way |
| 730s | that I can share nah sorry |
| 741s | if you're wondering why I'm teleporting |
| 743s | like in place or forecasting uh teleport |
| 746s | makes my next spell free teleport costs |
| 748s | 28 Mana |
| 750s | um meteor costs 123 Mana so it is |
| 753s | cheaper to cast teleport than meteor and |
| 757s | I can get a bunch more in |
| 773s | I do have |
| 774s | um |
| 775s | Mana efficiency on flame warrants I |
| 777s | wonder if it's like even cheaper to do |
| 778s | like this |
| 788s | I'll get an extra one in |
| 790s | it's the flame flame words 10 yeah it's |
| 792s | probably cheaper |
| 804s | I'm a little too bursty for this face |
| 821s | but it really is there such thing as too |
| 823s | bursty |
| 824s | I mean it come on okay okay |
| 828s | oh weird |
| 830s | all right next question |
| 833s | I hope for UI Cosmetics Allah Hades |
| 835s | we've talked about UI Cosmetics |
| 838s | um |
| 840s | right in the corner uh it's It's tricky |
| 843s | because there's there's an element of |
| 844s | like wanting things to be recognizable |
| 846s | and uh like easily easily |
| 850s | distinguishable as last Epoch |
| 853s | um |
| 854s | so we've kind of steered clear |
| 974s | thank you |
| 976s | you lost sound |
| 987s | 's back |
| 993s | unfortunately yes |
| 996s | ouch |
| 997s | my pride |
| 1004s | that's good well that's back sorry about |
| 1006s | that |
| 1007s | that's so strange I don't know what |
| 1009s | happened |
| 1010s | um |
| 1011s | this has happened before |
| 1013s | oh yeah the Portal's here |
| 1015s | that's the time before and uh |
| 1020s | I had to like kill the stream and |
| 1021s | restarted to get it going again |
| 1029s | I I think unfortunate you could hear me |
| 1031s | again |
| 1033s | it was the joke I know you didn't |
| 1034s | actually mean that |
| 1044s | what was I saying uh |
| 1047s | cut out |
| 1051s | my Pride's not actually hurt just just |
| 1053s | for the record that's totally fine uh |
| 1056s | just in case |
| 1058s | uh where where do they cut it what was I |
| 1061s | saying |
| 1069s | I hate these UI question oh basically |
| 1070s | okay UI |
| 1072s | um |
| 1073s | basically there's no uh we have no plans |
| 1077s | for updating the UI right now |
| 1084s | um for having like customizable |
| 1086s | um MTX for the UI we don't have any |
| 1089s | plans for that at the moment um it's not |
| 1091s | impossible it might happen |
| 1097s | it will be a long road to majelka after |
| 1100s | but you for The Hundreds to get Tower |
| 1102s | Buffs for |
| 1105s | XP couldn't those hundreds oh oh um |
| 1109s | uh spiers the |
| 1111s | um shrines |
| 1114s | for the level 100 characters that get |
| 1115s | Shrine Buffs for XP couldn't those |
| 1117s | affect hundreds with increased drop rate |
| 1119s | for the duration |
| 1121s | um it could it's |
| 1124s | we don't really have any intentional |
| 1126s | plans for changing what uh experience |
| 1129s | does at level 100 right now because it |
| 1131s | does still help it does let you respect |
| 1133s | things faster |
| 1134s | um |
| 1135s | it's it's not I don't know why I came |
| 1138s | this way at all |
| 1143s | I I know it's I know it's one of those |
| 1144s | things that feels like a waste once |
| 1146s | you're getting it |
| 1147s | um it's the same with the XP tones that |
| 1149s | one's a little more |
| 1151s | um forgivable or understandable or makes |
| 1152s | sense because you can spike a respect |
| 1155s | with it |
| 1157s | um so so that one's that's a little more |
| 1159s | makes sense |
| 1161s | part of the problem is how it's created |
| 1163s | how it's done |
| 1166s | um |
| 1168s | for the for the shrines and the buff it |
| 1170s | gives |
| 1173s | it's not impossible to have it change |
| 1175s | what it could be for uh different levels |
| 1184s | I I don't think we have I know we don't |
| 1187s | have any plans for it I don't think |
| 1188s | it'll happen |
| 1190s | um I know we've discussed it a few times |
| 1191s | in uh in design discussions and it ideas |
| 1195s | like that are very some of that do get |
| 1197s | shut down pretty quickly |
| 1205s | this one right yeah |
| 1211s | that was a tiny man it's 200. yeah we |
| 1214s | got a man for that |
| 1216s | no problem |
| 1218s | my name's the firework question again |
| 1220s | Sam was gone during last time yeah sure |
| 1223s | um |
| 1226s | uh fire aura |
| 1228s | basically the the shortness of the |
| 1230s | firearm is yes |
| 1232s | um I am happy with Hellfire Aura exists |
| 1233s | at the moment |
| 1235s | um it was originally an activated |
| 1237s | availability that was replaced with |
| 1238s | flame Ward |
| 1240s | um |
| 1242s | and I I I think it is |
| 1247s | um an interesting way to build passive |
| 1249s | damage for your character |
| 1254s | and usually it's it's triggered by |
| 1256s | comboing other skills in specific ways |
| 1260s | um |
| 1261s | which I like |
| 1263s | it feels I think it feels good to use |
| 1266s | um |
| 1267s | it's not designed to be the only form of |
| 1271s | damage for your character |
| 1273s | um at the moment and |
| 1276s | it can be it can be a primary source of |
| 1279s | damage |
| 1281s | um and I I get that we've |
| 1285s | possibly missed the class fantasy that |
| 1288s | some people have from just I'm gonna |
| 1290s | cast this damaging Aura around me and |
| 1293s | I'm just gonna repeatedly cast this |
| 1294s | damaging ore and I'm gonna stand near |
| 1295s | things |
| 1297s | um and that's that's like the only way |
| 1299s | I'm gonna kill things is by just |
| 1300s | standing near them and and I'm creating |
| 1303s | this damaging aura |
| 1307s | um and I think there's there's room for |
| 1309s | that type of gameplay with a little bit |
| 1310s | of a |
| 1312s | um I guess a mindset shift in the sense |
| 1316s | of of not needing it to be the the |
| 1319s | actual ability you're directly button |
| 1321s | present |
| 1328s | and part of the reason for that shift |
| 1330s | was |
| 1332s | um numblocking it basically it was one |
| 1334s | of it was one of those skills that was |
| 1335s | just universally numblocked and there |
| 1338s | was no point doing anything else ever |
| 1341s | um and just took a skill off your bar |
| 1345s | which we weren't huge fans though |
| 1349s | we felt like we had a good solution with |
| 1350s | flame Ward and adding it to the pastry |
| 1353s | it also adds some more interesting |
| 1354s | damage output to the passive tree |
| 1356s | um |
| 1359s | and creates nice interaction with with |
| 1360s | unique items I think |
| 1372s | all right is any plans more than 20 |
| 1374s | characters online ever into slots yeah I |
| 1377s | honestly I thought that already been |
| 1378s | changed |
| 1380s | um |
| 1382s | we don't have uh we we implemented that |
| 1385s | limit as a technical Safeguard just in |
| 1388s | case |
| 1390s | um |
| 1391s | and it does not appear to be necessary |
| 1394s | to that degree |
| 1400s | so it's a very high probability that it |
| 1402s | will be increased at some point |
| 1406s | do I know to what number or when that |
| 1408s | will be no sorry |
| 1414s | uh some people just want to shout break |
| 1417s | yourself upon my body and that's not |
| 1419s | yeah yeah there's nothing wrong with |
| 1421s | that at all |
| 1422s | um |
| 1425s | we've we've tried to enable that type of |
| 1430s | damage output and play style |
| 1432s | with Active Components in the in the in |
| 1437s | the game playing a little bit |
| 1452s | any news on world you can share it nope |
| 1454s | nothing's news happened on warlock since |
| 1457s | last time I talked about Warlock |
| 1464s | uh you heard that flame ward has a 90 |
| 1466s | percent |
| 1467s | uh usage rates on Source sources and |
| 1470s | it's not a numb lock seal but it feels |
| 1472s | very mandatory anyways |
| 1473s | um |
| 1474s | I do think that there's a little bit of |
| 1476s | a unfortunateness of that |
| 1479s | um I think it comes from the lack of |
| 1480s | utility abilities that are available |
| 1483s | um |
| 1487s | I I am it's one of those things that I |
| 1489s | am hoping will |
| 1490s | get more competition down the road and I |
| 1493s | think we'll get more competition down |
| 1494s | the road probably just comes from which |
| 1497s | I think |
| 1498s | Mages just need a new uh another Mastery |
| 1501s | another Mastery yeah they need another |
| 1503s | Master they need roommaster but they |
| 1505s | also need another |
| 1506s | um utility ability I think |
| 1518s | I'm still not sure where 90 comes from I |
| 1520s | don't think |
| 1522s | maybe the stats are available |
| 1527s | um |
| 1528s | at least ladder scraping is probably uh |
| 1530s | it's probably happening |
| 1534s | hello |
| 1537s | stay safe |
| 1545s | hey Mike happy Friday to you guys |
| 1547s | already have a fix for the town's |
| 1550s | problem |
| 1551s | um unfortunately not fully yet new |
| 1554s | unfortunately if we did it would already |
| 1555s | be out |
| 1558s | you're right |
| 1560s | please hold on no you're dwelling on the |
| 1562s | past |
| 1565s | kind of it's kind of funny coming from a |
| 1567s | game like this eh |
| 1572s | no yeah we don't have a fix of the Town |
| 1574s | problem yet |
| 1576s | it's so wild because like we've been |
| 1578s | playing with towns set up properly on |
| 1580s | our internal server tests for |
| 1583s | quite a while now |
| 1588s | um and like forcing everyone onto the |
| 1590s | same servers and everything like forcing |
| 1592s | everyone in the same regions and things |
| 1593s | like that it's just uh |
| 1596s | sometimes sometimes the test |
| 1598s | environment's just enough different from |
| 1600s | the live environment |
| 1615s | I love meteor shower |
| 1625s | so good |
| 1627s | uh any plans for unique items to replace |
| 1629s | skills with new skills and skill trees |
| 1631s | or you have other plans for adding more |
| 1633s | skills after launch |
| 1635s | um well yes is kind of the answer there |
| 1636s | because |
| 1637s | um there there are a couple pictures |
| 1640s | I've heard about unique items that |
| 1641s | actually add specializable skills |
| 1644s | um I don't think we would detect for |
| 1646s | that yet |
| 1646s | but uh it's it's I think it's possible |
| 1650s | to make that I don't think there's |
| 1651s | anything that's actually blocking us |
| 1652s | from making that which is nice |
| 1658s | um as for uh do we have other ways of |
| 1660s | adding new skills post launch absolutely |
| 1663s | um |
| 1664s | just in this in the in the like easy way |
| 1666s | of like there's a spot for a skill to go |
| 1668s | right there |
| 1669s | no problem this this will even expand |
| 1671s | over one more no problem originally this |
| 1673s | UI was designed for six skills to go |
| 1675s | here |
| 1676s | um and we had fewer Base Class skills so |
| 1680s | we there were there were actually going |
| 1681s | to be |
| 1684s | um so we added two Base Class skills and |
| 1686s | took away one for me to the master so we |
| 1687s | if we pulled one skill from every class |
| 1692s | um overall |
| 1694s | and put more of them in the base class |
| 1695s | and left left room for a Mastery class |
| 1698s | skill to go to go right here as well so |
| 1702s | um like yeah there's there's room for a |
| 1704s | sixth Class A Mastery class skill and |
| 1707s | you can go here too |
| 1709s | um it doesn't work great here because |
| 1710s | the lock line |
| 1713s | it can go here or here like we just |
| 1716s | can't put it here because it's |
| 1718s | it's well there's nothing really there's |
| 1720s | no actual slot there so like we can put |
| 1722s | it here or here but it's a little tricky |
| 1724s | with the lock line there so we probably |
| 1725s | would put it here or here first or both |
| 1730s | uh we don't want to put it here or here |
| 1732s | either there's possible as well but yeah |
| 1735s | 45 is just so late |
| 1737s | um so if we were going to add another |
| 1738s | one it would probably be here at 10 into |
| 1740s | the Master Class |
| 1743s | so this room for three more per Base |
| 1746s | Class just just right there alone |
| 1749s | um and there's also there's also room |
| 1750s | for one to go here uh we we toyed around |
| 1753s | with this like above the minimum Base |
| 1754s | Class points to unlock another skill |
| 1758s | um and people did not like it at all |
| 1762s | um that was it was a pretty pretty |
| 1764s | universally disliked |
| 1766s | option |
| 1774s | so we pulled that pretty good |
| 1791s | fools fools |
| 1794s | they are fools aren't they |
| 1797s | that's something I should probably just |
| 1798s | run |
| 1804s | oh what happens with Grail in the |
| 1806s | Imperial era and what is possibly and is |
| 1810s | the possibility |
| 1812s | he is the emperor |
| 1814s | um I am not very good at lore questions |
| 1818s | unfortunately |
| 1820s | um |
| 1822s | so I don't actually know the answer to |
| 1824s | this one sorry |
| 1826s | um |
| 1828s | is there the possibility he's the |
| 1830s | emperor yeah it's a possibility |
| 1832s | um |
| 1835s | do I know enough to refuse is the |
| 1837s | possibility of almost any character nope |
| 1839s | laughs |
| 1842s | um sorry I just I just don't know I'm |
| 1845s | sorry |
| 1850s | all right next one he plans to increase |
| 1852s | impact of additional levels for skills I |
| 1855s | would say in other games almost always |
| 1857s | one of the best desired desirable |
| 1859s | options but in last Epoch it's often |
| 1861s | just useless which is said uh yes we do |
| 1863s | because yes that's a good point is the |
| 1866s | um this is something I've noted before |
| 1868s | is that there's |
| 1869s | um the value of a point in a skill tree |
| 1873s | changes based on the the total number of |
| 1875s | skills available or that you've invested |
| 1878s | previously in that skill usually the |
| 1880s | first 10 points are the first five |
| 1882s | points at least are less impactful than |
| 1884s | the next 10 points |
| 1886s | um and then the next five points after |
| 1887s | that are less impactful again is usually |
| 1889s | what happens you get that like those |
| 1890s | middle ten points like the really juicy |
| 1892s | points usually it's where the like build |
| 1894s | comes together you get like this like |
| 1896s | specific Keynotes you get multiple |
| 1898s | Keynotes that are really important |
| 1900s | and then uh |
| 1903s | it kind of It kind of falls off again |
| 1904s | which is unfortunate |
| 1907s | so there's there are plan we do have uh |
| 1911s | planned mechanical systematic change |
| 1914s | which I know is a bunch of buzzwords |
| 1917s | um |
| 1918s | to to help alleviate this problem |
| 1922s | to breathe some life into late game |
| 1924s | skill trees |
| 1927s | advancement |
| 1931s | am I gonna say anything else in the |
| 1932s | matter nope |
| 1934s | sorry |
| 1940s | still one of those things where it's |
| 1941s | like someone's like I got a plan |
| 1942s | everyone's like that's a good plan we |
| 1943s | should do that one day right yeah |
| 1945s | probably |
| 1947s | so don't expect the next patch |
| 1955s | poison res |
| 1957s | oh gross |
| 1967s | I gotta fix that |
| 1974s | this fight is the |
| 1977s | sort of the like signpost you need |
| 1980s | poison Reds but you didn't know that did |
| 1982s | you yet fight |
| 1987s | is it Roseate with him |
| 1989s | oh it rodents with him |
| 1992s | you need to stop working this way |
| 1995s | yeah there he is |
| 2000s | we can fix that we have the technology |
| 2010s | you could have gone out at any point |
| 2011s | sure you could you ready to head out |
| 2015s | there also where were you hiding the |
| 2016s | swords |
| 2020s | how can you make it that equipment gives |
| 2022s | a full passive skill point for example |
| 2025s | that Rogue equipment can give full pass |
| 2026s | a point from the acolyte |
| 2032s | uh uh so we gonna bring this stuff four |
| 2036s | Rogues with their ballistas unique B |
| 2038s | decoy helmet |
| 2039s | um |
| 2042s | no we're not gonna give |
| 2045s | um passive points in other trees from |
| 2046s | the UI standpoint of it that's just that |
| 2048s | would just be a mess |
| 2050s | um |
| 2052s | if we wanted to add in and we have done |
| 2054s | this before if we wanted to add in a |
| 2057s | mechanic that's in that's in a passive |
| 2059s | tree |
| 2060s | um onto other classes we would do it |
| 2062s | through just taking the stats that are |
| 2064s | on that passive and putting it on a |
| 2065s | unique item |
| 2066s | um and and letting that unique item be |
| 2069s | collectible so it would it would be |
| 2071s | um |
| 2073s | like the the like that specific passive |
| 2077s | would go into an item if we wanted to |
| 2079s | enable that item but but enabling the |
| 2081s | whole tree |
| 2082s | uh is is very problematic |
| 2090s | hello quick question about Weavers will |
| 2092s | specifically the relics is there safe |
| 2094s | right to prevent them from Rolling |
| 2096s | conflicting affixes yes example I have |
| 2099s | uh once a sentinel that rolled holy or |
| 2100s | is it possible for it to roll a |
| 2102s | different Mastery skill in the other |
| 2103s | prefix no it is not it can only roll |
| 2107s | um |
| 2109s | so so there's there's never a situation |
| 2111s | where any item can have |
| 2113s | um conflicting class requirements so you |
| 2116s | see how this one says class required the |
| 2117s | required class Mage |
| 2120s | um this means that this item cannot have |
| 2122s | any |
| 2124s | affixes that would cause it to be |
| 2126s | required uh by another class to equip |
| 2129s | ever there's there's just there's you |
| 2131s | can't have two class requirements on an |
| 2133s | item and there's safe cards in place so |
| 2135s | that that can't happen and won't happen |
| 2138s | um like you can't even you can't even uh |
| 2140s | chance it with the um attorney cash if |
| 2144s | you try and put two items in there that |
| 2145s | have conflicting class requirements even |
| 2147s | if it's possible to like say you had a |
| 2149s | 1lp unique and then an exalted item that |
| 2152s | had |
| 2153s | um even a sealed affix on it that can't |
| 2156s | even be pulled that the sealed FX can't |
| 2158s | even be pulled but just the fact that |
| 2160s | the sealed affix exists on the item and |
| 2162s | the class requirement is for a different |
| 2163s | class other than the class you you're |
| 2165s | trying to say the unique is required |
| 2167s | Sentinel and there's a sealed affix on |
| 2169s | the exalted that requires Mage you |
| 2172s | cannot equip you cannot put both of |
| 2175s | those into featuring cash at the same |
| 2176s | time |
| 2177s | even though in that case it's still |
| 2179s | impossible to create a conflict |
| 2183s | because all it all it does is it's a |
| 2185s | it's not a very smart check all it does |
| 2187s | is just checks to see if the items have |
| 2189s | conflicting class requirements if they |
| 2191s | have conflicting class requirements it |
| 2193s | won't even let you put them in together |
| 2194s | it's the same thing with food as well |
| 2196s | um the way it grabs affixes it won't let |
| 2198s | a class requirement conflict happen |
| 2201s | um |
| 2204s | it's kind of the same way that like |
| 2207s | so we're playing the upcoming bizarre |
| 2209s | and item faction system |
| 2211s | uh you can't |
| 2214s | you can't sell uh items that have any |
| 2217s | faction requirement on them on the |
| 2218s | auction house which means you can't sell |
| 2220s | because as soon as you sell on the |
| 2222s | auction house it adds the item rank |
| 2224s | requirement so if you had a cof rank |
| 2226s | required item and you could |
| 2230s | hypothetically sell it on the auction |
| 2232s | house then it would gain a merchant |
| 2235s | skilled requirement and suddenly it's |
| 2236s | completely impossible to use because |
| 2237s | there's two conflicting item faction |
| 2240s | requirements |
| 2257s | everyone asking |
| 2503s | okay I'm gonna reset the Stream |
| 2522s | set us back seriously hey |
| 2531s | we're good all right |
| 2533s | I was like just about to hit and stream |
| 2536s | mouse cursor was hovering over the |
| 2539s | button but we're back |
| 2541s | you guys missed the best leaks oh yeah |
| 2552s | yeah I leaked all sorts of cool stuff |
| 2554s | get get those leap Liberty classes in |
| 2557s | because oh it's good |
| 2561s | don't actually I didn't I don't waste |
| 2562s | your time |
| 2564s | let's see what I learned lip reading but |
| 2565s | I didn't actually say anything |
| 2570s | ah the helium voice lovely |
| 2574s | Eclipse like that would be great |
| 2577s | I doubt it would though unfortunately |
| 2589s | all right |
| 2591s | uh to a question oh yeah I was I was in |
| 2595s | the middle of reading about the the two |
| 2597s | maps called The Burning Forest |
| 2599s | binding Freedom will be our future |
| 2604s | my future at any cost |
| 2608s | whatever leader says at any cost you |
| 2610s | know something bad's about to happen |
| 2617s | hmm |
| 2620s | farewell no one YouTube that Temple is |
| 2624s | closed was it just me that the |
| 2626s | authorities not closed for me |
| 2636s | we can't trust this friend of mine don't |
| 2638s | don't trust him |
| 2640s | it's a bad idea to trust him |
| 2652s | all right if you have any questions |
| 2656s | for me about last Epoch please for that |
| 2658s | last default game in the question I'll |
| 2659s | be happy to answer it |
| 2663s | Derek is so overloaded with like |
| 2667s | stuff there was another Quest we were |
| 2669s | talking about we're like who should who |
| 2670s | should be involved with this question |

| 2676s | Autumn story wise |
| 2685s | head of course I'll be around here |
| 2690s | bring me his head of course so so |
| 2693s | nonchalant about it |
| 2696s | well the missing classes be released |
| 2698s | before or with patch 1.0 full release |
| 2700s | with patch 1.04 release later this year |
| 2705s | all the Masters are coming this year |
| 2716s | was that like |
| 2718s | seven months Max |
| 2721s | less than seven months because we're on |
| 2722s | the second |
| 2740s | the double casting was like falling to a |
| 2742s | pattern it was like |
| 2744s | yeah like the cluster oh there was I'm |
| 2747s | talking about right there |
| 2749s | give me that cluster |
| 2754s | oh no |
| 2763s | are you burning Forest is an old one |
| 2765s | maybe going away is it is it act two |
| 2772s | well chapter B but I think it's attack |
| 2774s | three technically |
| 2787s | because we we know we know where this |
| 2789s | one is |
| 2796s | I don't know what the other one is |

| 2852s | got that 25 club right there |
| 2863s | I think there's a there's a couple other |
| 2864s | people that are |
| 2866s | about to hit it or have just hit it as |
| 2868s | well |
| 2870s | full year it's more than a full year |
| 2879s | uh yeah with the burning force that the |
| 2882s | old one is what I think it is it'll |
| 2883s | probably go away at some point |
| 2892s | I want those lightning meteors so bad |
| 2901s | I have a feeling that I'm just like not |
| 2902s | gonna be able to survive this boss fight |
| 2904s | though |
| 2913s | keep |
| 2922s | this is this this is too touch and go |
| 2924s | for this boss fight to go well at all |
| 2931s | how am I I'm pretty good |
| 2935s | I'm feeling good I'm relaxed |
| 2937s | we're we're we're post patch enough that |
| 2940s | I'm like not stressed out about the |
| 2942s | patch anymore |
| 2945s | um |

| 2949s | spun up next week |
| 2951s | really excited about those |
| 2959s | my mom's coming to town next week |

| 2971s | this weekend too same one |
| 2973s | yeah feel good |
| 2979s | foreign |
| 2990s | in the evenings a couple couple hours a |
| 2993s | night |
| 2993s | I haven't had much time it's you get you |
| 2995s | get you get old you get tired |
| 2998s | responsibilities |
| 3001s | get a couple hours in |
| 3004s | we're still very early in the game |
| 3006s | though |
| 3007s | it's it's been nice to you know |
| 3010s | take your time with it |
| 3018s | very much looking forward to studying |
| 3019s | Master mode |
| 3026s | I also |
| 3029s | oh |
| 3031s | my |
| 3032s | ow my thanks |
| 3036s | why did that hurt so much ow |
| 3040s | uh alrighty then I guess we're gonna |
| 3043s | show now here's here's something that |
| 3046s | was given to me to show last stream |
| 3049s | which was two weeks ago which was |
| 3051s | pre-patched so I I think this may |
| 3053s | already be in the game |
| 3055s | um and I just like didn't see it until |
| 3057s | it was too late but like here's a little |
| 3060s | here's a little in-game render of a |
| 3062s | unique item |
| 3082s | going fishing for a half day tomorrow |
| 3084s | it's exciting it's a feeling you know |
| 3086s | tired all the time as well you know |
| 3088s | fishing fishing's nice I've been fishing |
| 3091s | in years uh any chance we get some kind |
| 3093s | of balance hot fix for our next patch |
| 3095s | maybe |
| 3097s | um I know someone was pitching that idea |
| 3098s | to do I don't know if uh it's gonna |
| 3101s | happen or not |
| 3103s | I know I know so there's this |
| 3104s | interesting thing that's happened is now |
| 3105s | that we've now we've released a ladder |
| 3107s | there's sort of this |
| 3109s | um |
| 3111s | impetus to not |
| 3113s | uh make huge Nerfs to top tier builds |
| 3119s | uh mid mid ladder |
| 3123s | and then on top of that |
| 3126s | um |
| 3128s | the prime we do a balance pass without |
| 3132s | Nerfs to talk to your builds |
| 3135s | um |
| 3136s | it's just power creep is all it is it's |
| 3138s | just power green |
| 3141s | um |
| 3143s | and there there's a lot of bugs Builds |
| 3145s | on the ladder right now too so I think |
| 3147s | that if um I don't know if we have the |
| 3149s | time to do this either as well there's |
| 3150s | there's so many things to get done for |
| 3152s | 1.0 |
| 3153s | um |
| 3154s | and it might it might just be uh |
| 3156s | maybe we'll take a crack at some of it |
| 3158s | quickly to try and fix the major |
| 3159s | problems |
| 3161s | um but it may also just be |
| 3163s | so we just don't have time for at the |
| 3165s | moment |
| 3166s | um |
| 3167s | the version of the line that's out right |
| 3168s | now is is mostly for like testing it's |
| 3172s | it's a it's a beta version of the latter |
| 3173s | itself so we're trying to make sure it's |
| 3175s | solving the features in there |
| 3177s | and we get developed |
| 3180s | as far as balancing goes if if it were |
| 3183s | not a Time issue I think my vote would |
| 3188s | be to |
| 3190s | um do a mid season like like do do a do |
| 3194s | a ladder reset basically |
| 3196s | um seal the ladder and Shrine it say |
| 3198s | okay great people who did well did well |
| 3200s | great we're moving on to the next ladder |
| 3201s | here's about here's a balance patch |
| 3204s | um ladder reset bounce patch go |
| 3208s | um |
| 3209s | but don't don't like delete the |
| 3211s | characters leave the characters no |
| 3212s | character reset just a ladder wipe |
| 3214s | basically with a big balance match |
| 3217s | um |
| 3218s | and and save the latter stats so don't |
| 3220s | like don't push them off |
| 3223s | don't delete them |
| 3224s | um but that'll be I think the the ideal |
| 3226s | solution I don't know if we have the |
| 3228s | time to do that |
| 3230s | um |
| 3233s | make it a perfect world that's what we |
| 3234s | do |
| 3236s | let's keep going |
| 3237s | girl let's have some fun here |
| 3241s | where are we going |
| 3246s | we're going south right |
| 3251s | I'm pretty sure myself |
| 3256s | Follow the |
| 3258s | yellow item Road |
| 3267s | I should really be looking at some of |
| 3269s | this I'm just like yeah |
| 3271s | pass |
| 3274s | but there's good upgrades in here and |
| 3275s | I'm just ignoring them |
| 3284s | yeah |
| 3286s | uh will there be big changes to |
| 3292s | oh my goodness what is going on |
| 3302s | got that burst damage |
| 3305s | well let me change this to the profanity |
| 3306s | in chat yes most German sentences was |
| 3309s | more than like 10 words or censor for |
| 3312s | random stuff that sucks |
| 3313s | uh yeah there's there's still there's |
| 3316s | still stuff going on about |
| 3318s | um |
| 3320s | chat updates because yes the the |
| 3321s | profanity filter is not doing its job |
| 3323s | properly |
| 3333s | if you got a question for me to answer |
| 3335s | please put at last debugging in the |
| 3337s | question just so I know it's one you |
| 3339s | really want me to look at |
| 3341s | oh we have an answer I do see one here |
| 3342s | that I'll answer anyways no |
| 3346s | um |
| 3350s | Christian this must have been asked |
| 3351s | every stream but we'll be able to filter |
| 3353s | shards or at least allow pickup box to |
| 3355s | be bigger um we don't have any plans to |
| 3358s | add shards themselves to the filter |
| 3360s | system |
| 3362s | um the as as for the |
| 3365s | um ground item labels which is what we |
| 3367s | call these the height of them |
| 3370s | um needs to be consistent and will stay |
| 3373s | consistent relative to each other |
| 3375s | um they can all get bigger or none of |
| 3377s | them get bigger but they can't have |
| 3380s | um |
| 3381s | variable Heights on those labels |
| 3386s | which which might seem kind of arbitrary |
| 3388s | but it's it's actually very important |
| 3391s | um |
| 3392s | mostly from a |
| 3395s | uh the ability for our for us to like |
| 3400s | as as players us when I say us as |
| 3402s | players to be able to look at a large |
| 3404s | number of items |
| 3408s | like some items to look at it really but |
| 3409s | but having having this still be |
| 3412s | a functional environment to be in a lot |
| 3415s | of that has to do with these being a |
| 3417s | consistent height |
| 3419s | um and you can still you can still |
| 3421s | interact with the world a lot better |
| 3423s | they blend into nothing a lot easier |
| 3427s | when they are consistent |
| 3430s | if if you're trying to look past them |
| 3432s | you can basically |
| 3437s | it's actually a sweet rain |
| 3447s | what did I |
| 3449s | did I do something not right |
| 3453s | am I am I the fool fool |
| 3462s | why is it so time to go down here |
| 3467s | just wrong isn't it |
| 3471s | push this is wrong |
| 3485s | okay more questions I see a bunch more |
| 3486s | questions uh |
| 3490s | a leader in the airbg landscape recently |
| 3493s | partnered with a fast food giant but |
| 3495s | themed Cosmetics in-game so if Ellie |
| 3497s | could partner with any restaurant chain |
| 3499s | what would it be if you have any ideas |
| 3501s | for related Cosmetics items and item |
| 3504s | names wow |
| 3506s | um |
| 3507s | I can honestly say I've never considered |
| 3509s | this |
| 3511s | um question before which is rare usually |
| 3514s | usually something shows up and I'm like |
| 3515s | oh yeah I've thought about that in some |
| 3517s | way a little bit before nothing |
| 3520s | literally nothing |
| 3524s | um |
| 3527s | I I I'd go selfish with it and I'd want |
| 3530s | to partner with something that is this |
| 3532s | is like food I really like |
| 3536s | um |
| 3540s | I don't know it's just that seems so |
| 3542s | strange |
| 3546s | I don't know |
| 3549s | this is a funny question I like it a lot |
| 3553s | if I can partner with any restaurant |
| 3556s | chain what would it be |
| 3561s | I don't know I I I I |
| 3565s | the first time I don't see us doing this |
| 3569s | um both from a |
| 3573s | um we're probably not big enough for any |
| 3576s | um restaurant chain to to care enough |
| 3579s | um to want to do this in the first place |
| 3582s | but |
| 3583s | um |
| 3591s | here yeah |
| 3605s | well |
| 3607s | I don't know |
| 3615s | do you like Burger King in the Giant |
| 3617s | Burger helmet Cosmetics it's like just |
| 3620s | Giant Burger let's go call back earlier |
| 3622s | in the Stream Giant Burger |
| 3625s | head |
| 3626s | there we go |
| 3631s | ah |
| 3633s | all right next question are you guys |
| 3635s | mostly just focusing on polished |
| 3637s | unfinished classes right now or is it |
| 3638s | new content also marks 1.0 uh the one of |
| 3641s | the primary content pieces for 1.0 is |
| 3644s | the |
| 3645s | um are the missing Mastery classes |
| 3646s | that's that's one of the the main |
| 3649s | content pieces that's missing |
| 3654s | um there there is other content stuff |
| 3657s | like uh like more traditional content |
| 3659s | stuff |
| 3661s | I don't know how to describe it properly |
| 3663s | but maybe things that you might consider |
| 3665s | more |
| 3668s | more similar to a traditional lead |
| 3670s | mechanic I guess |
| 3827s | let me know if you can hear me |
| 3834s | win win all right once you're after that |
| 3837s | ah come on that's a terrible plan |
| 3841s | sweet |
| 3843s | it worked wonderful I don't know when it |
| 3845s | cut out or what I was saying but it was |
| 3847s | good stuff let me just tell you that oh |
| 3849s | yeah |
| 3850s | oh yeah |
| 3854s | uh |
| 3856s | uh I guess I was probably talking about |
| 3857s | uh path to 1.0 and what we're doing |
| 3859s | there a lot of it's polish there is |
| 3863s | still some gameplay stuff to be added |
| 3866s | DLT TLD |
| 3870s | too too quiet couldn't hear |
| 3876s | since I didn't mention before are there |
| 3878s | plans to make UI option for numb locking |
| 3881s | skills veteran players probably won't |
| 3882s | stop unlocking and some skills we're a |
| 3884s | bit frustrating to press every two to |
| 3885s | three seconds they're just holding the |
| 3886s | key non-stop before new player figures |
| 3887s | out there is an unlock trick in |
| 3889s | existence |
| 3891s | um |
| 3892s | I think that there's more openness |
| 3895s | towards the idea of a numb locking |
| 3897s | uh skill system like built into the UI |
| 3901s | than there was previously I know we |
| 3903s | don't have any plans for it at the |
| 3904s | moment |
| 3906s | um |
| 3907s | but I'd say not impossible |
| 3916s | is it can you hear me someone says |
| 3918s | something if you can hear me |
| 3920s | type one if you can hear me please |
| 3923s | I I need to know |
| 3928s | yay |
| 3930s | two counts |
| 3935s | three counts as well |
| 3947s | all right |
| 3949s | next question hey is there any reason |
| 3952s | that the play offline button is smaller |
| 3954s | please pick the same size the play |
| 3956s | online button I I saw this post |
| 3959s | um on Reddit or the forums I can't |
| 3960s | remember which one |
| 3961s | um |
| 3963s | probably not |
| 3965s | I I don't think we'll do that |
| 3972s | I don't know I'm not the UI designer but |
| 3974s | uh I know it is very intentionally a |
| 3977s | different size |
| 3978s | I I expect it's likely because online is |
| 3981s | the primary game mode and most people |
| 3982s | will be playing online |
| 3986s | um and when a new player starts at the |
| 3988s | game it's the indication that uh that's |
| 3991s | the mode that we're expecting most |
| 3992s | people to play on and get the full |
| 3993s | experiences through online |
| 4003s | that's what I think |
| 4006s | but speculation is speculation |
| 4008s | all right uh more Max or transmogs when |
| 4014s | uh when it's ready because I don't know |
| 4016s | what that means I don't know what more |
| 4017s | max means |
| 4019s | I'm sorry as I'm sure this was ass but I |
| 4022s | joined like that's okay will players be |
| 4024s | in towns be enabled again uh or no media |
| 4027s | plans again I'm sure answered sorry |
| 4028s | about that um yeah it's it is something |
| 4030s | that we want to get back up and running |
| 4032s | as soon as possible |
| 4034s | um it's it's as soon as as soon as it's |
| 4036s | fixed it'll be turned back on again |
| 4037s | basically |
| 4040s | it is a pretty key feature not only for |
| 4044s | um what we consider to be pretty |
| 4045s | important gameplay stuff but also |
| 4048s | um like it it makes servers cheaper for |
| 4051s | us to run which is |
| 4053s | really important uh just because your |
| 4056s | server is running you know like it gets |
| 4057s | people into game easier let's just get |
| 4060s | more people in because there's less like |
| 4061s | there's there's not one server per |
| 4063s | person it's one server for 15 people you |
| 4065s | know and it's it's yeah just better for |
| 4068s | I shouldn't say everyone because I'm |
| 4069s | sure someone that hurts |
| 4072s | unfortunately but for the most part it |
| 4074s | is a big Improvement oh that's what I |
| 4076s | want whoops |
| 4078s | well |
| 4079s | uh I think we'll go up here right [ __ ] |
| 4081s | multi yeah |
| 4086s | uh hi just for clarification spark |
| 4088s | charge uh spark charge I don't know is |
| 4091s | the answer to this question uh spark |
| 4093s | charges are unlimited right I mean |
| 4094s | multiple can be attached to one target |
| 4096s | chill tip doesn't exactly say it except |
| 4098s | the wording spark charges plural yes |
| 4101s | they are they are unlimited I do know |
| 4102s | the answer to this one |
| 4103s | um there's it would it would uh mention |
| 4106s | a stack cap if it didn't have one |
| 4111s | um if you're ever unsure about this uh I |
| 4114s | think lassypogtools.com actually says it |
| 4116s | explicitly |
| 4118s | um |
| 4120s | and that information is um like like |
| 4122s | ailment information is just mine |
| 4124s | directly from the game file so it is |
| 4125s | accurate |
| 4128s | oh |
| 4129s | all of it I've seen is accurate I |
| 4131s | guarantee it oh MTX not a more MTX or |
| 4134s | transmogs win ah that makes a lot more |
| 4136s | sense sorry |
| 4138s | um |
| 4139s | uh yeah yeah more MPS we're definitely |
| 4141s | adding more MTX |
| 4142s | um that pipeline is up and running |
| 4143s | people are adding stuff to it uh |
| 4147s | uh it's it's going |
| 4149s | uh transmogs uh no ETA yet I know it's |
| 4153s | something we've talked about positively |
| 4154s | before |
| 4157s | uh |
| 4164s | uh I am comparison when you wear two |
| 4166s | rings yeah it's gonna show both Rings |
| 4169s | equipped plus The Loot drop |
| 4172s | um there's a fair bit that actually has |
| 4174s | to be done to uh to make this work and |
| 4176s | make this happen |
| 4178s | it is something that |
| 4181s | um |
| 4184s | is possible |
| 4187s | um we don't have any plans for it |
| 4188s | immediately I'd say it's more likely to |
| 4190s | get like an extra key that compares the |
| 4193s | other ring for now because that can be |
| 4194s | done |
| 4195s | uh |
| 4196s | pretty pretty quickly in the code |
| 4205s | um but the that that task will lightly |
| 4207s | get because that's something that we do |
| 4208s | we need to have and that task will |
| 4209s | likely get put in my column |
| 4211s | um and it's not in my column at the |
| 4213s | moment so yeah |
| 4219s | so yeah uh do you still guys have plans |
| 4221s | to update change ad in UI stuff for 1.0 |
| 4224s | um yes there's there's UI stuff that's |
| 4226s | coming for 1.0 |
| 4228s | um |
| 4234s | well there's like one big thing |
| 4238s | factions |
| 4239s | actions UI is coming |
| 4244s | um |
| 4247s | that's gonna be the biggest change in UI |
| 4249s | between now and 1.0 but I'm sure there's |
| 4250s | other stuff to you |
| 4254s | I know there's uh |
| 4256s | project that requires a big UI update |
| 4258s | for certain things that is planned for |
| 4260s | after 1.0 as well |
| 4267s | that's the one we want because this |
| 4268s | makes a [ __ ] way more we don't really |
| 4269s | care about the damage we don't really |
| 4271s | use this anyways but |
| 4272s | when we do |
| 4274s | oh great because we get more Mana when |
| 4276s | it Crips |
| 4279s | any information about the long loading |
| 4281s | time screen zones and teleporting when |
| 4283s | playing in the multiplayer uh we I don't |
| 4286s | I don't have anything |
| 4288s | uh to say for you with that right now I |
| 4292s | don't I don't know |
| 4293s | uh I don't know anything about myself |
| 4294s | it's it's one of those things that like |
| 4298s | um I do know that it's it's pretty rare |
| 4300s | that it actually |
| 4302s | like overall grand scheme of things it's |
| 4304s | pretty rare and I know there's people |
| 4305s | that are experiencing it completely |
| 4308s | um so it seems like it's a more |
| 4311s | prevalent thing than it than it might |
| 4313s | actually be |
| 4314s | um but it is very high priority we are |
| 4316s | working on it |
| 4318s | the the long loading times uh is |
| 4320s | especially bad in uh you write in |
| 4323s | multiplayer |
| 4326s | um |
| 4327s | that one |
| 4330s | that was the problems we're still we're |
| 4332s | still working on that no one needs some |
| 4333s | fundamental architectural updates |
| 4336s | um and uh |
| 4339s | some of our back end is has and has been |
| 4342s | in the process of a major update for |
| 4344s | quite a while now |
| 4349s | none of it's like been deployed yet but |
| 4354s | we're working on it |
| 4356s | I know it doesn't necessarily seem like |
| 4358s | it but the network infrastructure and |
| 4362s | um performance for multiplayer is is a |
| 4363s | huge priority for us and it is something |
| 4366s | that we are working very hard on it's |
| 4367s | it's just a really huge task |
| 4370s | um and other things get completed at the |
| 4372s | same time in the meantime so it's uh |
| 4375s | those things get released we don't we're |
| 4376s | not holding up production on on other |
| 4378s | tasks while we're working on it |
| 4381s | um |
| 4382s | so so it doesn't always appear like it |
| 4384s | is a top priority item but it is |
| 4393s | Waypoint yes |
| 4400s | save me |
| 4406s | why won't you do anything oh gosh run |
| 4410s | away |
| 4413s | uh basically in multiplayer what happens |
| 4415s | right now is |
| 4417s | um when they're basically each scene is |
| 4419s | a server so each zone is its own server |
| 4422s | and when you're on your own playing solo |
| 4425s | and you go into a new uh you you do a |
| 4428s | scene transition |
| 4430s | um the senior and the server you're on |
| 4432s | can just close the last scene and open |
| 4434s | the new one and it's totally fine and |
| 4436s | you just keep going |
| 4438s | um but when you're in multiplayer and |
| 4440s | you have two people and one person goes |
| 4441s | into that new scene the person that's |
| 4443s | left back has to stay in that server so |
| 4445s | the person that's advancing the new |
| 4447s | scene has to spin up a new server and |
| 4449s | and that that's spinning up a new server |
| 4451s | time is what's taking so long |
| 4453s | um and and what's like causing that huge |
| 4455s | delay in multi multiplayer um scene |
| 4457s | transition |
| 4460s | then the second person coming to them |
| 4462s | happens really quickly |
| 4464s | um but frequently that transition |
| 4466s | happens at the same time so both people |
| 4468s | go together both people experience that |
| 4469s | really long load time |
| 4473s | that's if you want to know why it's |
| 4474s | happening |
| 4479s | um it's not as terrible in monolith |
| 4481s | because we do some funky stuff to have |
| 4484s | multiple things loaded at once |
| 4489s | but it's still there |
| 4505s | and we are exploring multiple Avenues to |
| 4507s | to make improvements there it's not just |
| 4509s | like oh we've got an idea let's try this |
| 4511s | one idea it's like okay we've got six |
| 4512s | ideas let's let's put different people |
| 4514s | on different ideas and let's get them |
| 4515s | all going |
| 4516s | it is it is a very high priority thing |
| 4518s | for us |
| 4529s | uh all righty then |
| 4537s | are you guys doing some statistics on |
| 4539s | skill usage are there plans to rework |
| 4541s | buff under used skills since they are |
| 4543s | less played for a reason |
| 4545s | um we don't we're not running |
| 4547s | um balance changes based on metrics and |
| 4549s | statistics at the moment |
| 4551s | um it's it's one tool in the in the |
| 4554s | toolbox that we are planning on using |
| 4558s | um for for uh balancing and design |
| 4560s | changes |
| 4562s | um and you you've ordered the question |
| 4563s | interestingly because uh you do make a |
| 4565s | good point in that it's not necessarily |
| 4568s | always it's intentional just the way |
| 4569s | it's where they may be reading into it |
| 4570s | it's not always intentionally |
| 4573s | um less played because it's less |
| 4575s | powerful sometimes it's less played |
| 4578s | because it's just not fun to play maybe |
| 4579s | like it's just it's just clunky |
| 4584s | um which which I think is what would |
| 4585s | happen if we if we just cranked up the |
| 4587s | damage on Tempest strike I still don't |
| 4588s | think it would be played because the |
| 4590s | attack speed uh clunkiness that that's |
| 4593s | that a lot you'll see |
| 4596s | um so I I think that it would be |
| 4600s | um it does require a little bit more of |
| 4602s | a change than just damage to make it |
| 4605s | better plate |
| 4607s | um |
| 4608s | so yeah it's it's it I think things like |
| 4610s | that are a good indicator of |
| 4613s | um targets but not necessarily uh |
| 4616s | indicators of solutions |
| 4624s | are you guys planning on overhauling the |
| 4626s | language and the passive in the skill |
| 4627s | trees 1.0 |
| 4628s | no |
| 4631s | um I don't think I'm the only one that |
| 4632s | thinks the wording is a little |
| 4633s | inconsistent and requires some outside |
| 4636s | knowledge to understand exactly what |
| 4637s | some things do |
| 4638s | um yeah I think there are some there's |
| 4640s | some outliers for sure |
| 4642s | I think for the vast vast majority of |
| 4644s | nodes they're actually really good |
| 4647s | um but I think there are some standout |
| 4649s | examples that need to be changed so it's |
| 4652s | um overhauling the language in the past |
| 4654s | is no |
| 4656s | um |
| 4657s | improving select nodes to be better |
| 4659s | readable yes |
| 4664s | uh are you guys getting enough sleep |
| 4666s | feeling at all right yeah I think so |
| 4672s | you know some of us have |
| 4673s | um |
| 4674s | other things in our lives like |
| 4677s | very little people |
| 4680s | that live with us that uh |
| 4683s | require a lot of attention |
| 4691s | so that that it's in your sleep but but |
| 4693s | yeah |
| 4694s | I think we're we're approaching game |
| 4696s | development responsibly as far as |
| 4698s | work-life balance |
| 4706s | which is very important |
| 4711s | a lot of question but I don't want to |
| 4713s | die |
| 4716s | minion here |
| 4718s | all right I know you guys want factions |
| 4720s | being 1.0 but our the testers going to |
| 4723s | be able to test it beforehand or is it |
| 4725s | going to be purely in-house testing I |
| 4727s | feel like players can always find ways |
| 4729s | to break such systems |
| 4731s | um yeah we do we do intend to release |
| 4733s | the item factions to community testers |
| 4735s | before launching it fully |
| 4737s | um |
| 4739s | don't know exactly how that's gonna |
| 4740s | happen or when but uh that is the plan |
| 4742s | at the moment |
| 4749s | uh you missed my sub feels bad oh I'm |
| 4751s | sorry |
| 4752s | random name X oh |
| 4756s | a thousand sorrys |
| 4758s | 17 months that's a big one can we get |
| 4764s | face mask MTX for Halloween of me like |
| 4768s | those plastic face masks |
| 4771s | or would that be considered pay to win |
| 4774s | I mean that is the ultimate goal isn't |
| 4776s | it right just look like me |
| 4782s | laughs |
| 4785s | I don't think so but maybe I uh |
| 4789s | I wouldn't hate that |
| 4799s | Oh weird you see that the the meteors |
| 4802s | went off |
| 4805s | there's a tiny issues video that's funny |
| 4808s | interesting |
| 4811s | okay let's just uh get back on Solid |
| 4814s | Ground then shall we |
| 4819s | huh |
| 4831s | that was a little iffy |
| 4838s | a lot iffy but you know |
| 4841s | we survived |
| 4845s | all right |
| 4849s | thanks for answering my question you're |
| 4850s | welcome I don't know which one it was |
| 4851s | but I hope I did a good job I understand |
| 4853s | that work on the back end might not |
| 4855s | appear as being uh worked can be |
| 4857s | visualized I understand what you're |
| 4859s | saying thanks for the good work |
| 4863s | will do |
| 4864s | uh will we have the possibility to |
| 4866s | recolor our items uh is the third time I |
| 4870s | asked the same question it could be |
| 4871s | cooled at all Blackford line all right |
| 4874s | or glowing for an example we don't have |
| 4877s | plans for this |
| 4879s | um it would require a ton of texture |
| 4882s | changes or just an entire recolor system |
| 4884s | attitude |
| 4887s | like a a way to like identify certain |
| 4890s | pieces of textures to be recolorable |
| 4892s | um |
| 4894s | I don't know that would be like like |
| 4895s | some sort of mask |
| 4897s | where you could like dictate specific |
| 4900s | parts of a texture to be recolorable |
| 4901s | might not be terrible |
| 4905s | um I know there's no plans for the |
| 4906s | moment try not to fall off that would be |
| 4909s | it'll be a very low priority if there |
| 4911s | are plans for it |
| 4913s | how happy are you with how the patch |
| 4915s | landed I mean the the town problem that |
| 4918s | happened for the first three or four |
| 4920s | hours was disappointing |
| 4921s | facilities |
| 4923s | um I I loved hanging out in towns like |
| 4926s | that that first so like when patch |
| 4928s | dropped I was on immediately |
| 4931s | um I like went to town and saw some |
| 4933s | people |
| 4935s | um I like randomly I ran into Aaron in |
| 4937s | town |
| 4938s | um I was like ah this is super cool |
| 4941s | um |
| 4942s | and like that that was that was a a |
| 4944s | highlight of the patch release for me |
| 4946s | and then I that I heard that it was uh |
| 4949s | not working properly and I was like oh |
| 4951s | no |
| 4953s | crashed faster than that |
| 4956s | a dive bombing bird |
| 4963s | speaking of |
| 4966s | well |
| 4967s | that wasn't too bad |
| 4977s | I'm good right where I am thank you |
| 4980s | unfortunately this is where we parked |
| 4983s | for now at least |
| 4986s | you have yourself a giant snake to catch |
| 4989s | and I have a coup to continue I'll be |
| 4991s | headed for the temple skates and letting |
| 4993s | in a few hundred of my closest friend |
| 4995s | splitting out |
| 5120s | there we go |
| 5138s | back |
| 5140s | and we're back hey that's great uh no |
| 5143s | not Comcast I am |
| 5146s | I here I have uh |
| 5149s | I actually have like very reliable fiber |
| 5153s | um |
| 5159s | the only time I have an issue is |
| 5162s | every four or five months with with |
| 5164s | twitch doing this |
| 5169s | the third time to snap anything |
| 5173s | sounds like I'm on helium uh hit F5 if |
| 5175s | my voice sounds weird |
| 5177s | it'll it'll reset |
| 5181s | all right where did I leave off |
| 5186s | helium robot voice oh that sounds |
| 5189s | fantastic I wonder if I should I showed |
| 5191s | like a list of funny things to say in a |
| 5193s | helium robot voice prepared |
| 5197s | it was a one-horned one I had flying |
| 5198s | purple people eater one horn one I'm |
| 5200s | flying purple people leader one four and |
| 5202s | one I'm nine four people leaders Joe |
| 5203s | looks good to me |
| 5205s | but that sounds hilarious in helium |
| 5218s | oh God |
| 5222s | I don't know why I thought |
| 5225s | going faster walking would save me from |
| 5227s | the poison damage |
| 5232s | uh all right |
| 5235s | will the well-run college Quest be |
| 5237s | modified |
| 5240s | uh so much backtracking and loading time |
| 5243s | that I just play with one less point do |
| 5245s | you have any idea how many people do the |
| 5246s | quest well first of all |
| 5248s | um the that Quest is not mandatory to |
| 5251s | complete all of your passive points |
| 5253s | um there are |
| 5255s | there are more |
| 5257s | like so there's there are 15 |
| 5259s | pass-a-point rewards available in the |
| 5263s | um |
| 5264s | uh in in all the quests |
| 5269s | but like so you'll use the idols that is |
| 5271s | the same way so there's I request you to |
| 5272s | complete with an idle inventory |
| 5273s | expansion but I've got eight of eight |
| 5275s | already and another one eight of eight |
| 5277s | already so we put and like there's one |
| 5278s | pass a point |
| 5280s | there's another passing point and an |
| 5281s | idol there's another passive Point |
| 5283s | another passive Point another passive |
| 5286s | point but I only have one left so |
| 5288s | there's more passive points |
| 5290s | uh quests than there are passive points |
| 5293s | available total so you don't have to do |
| 5295s | all the passive Point quests |
| 5298s | um I think that Quest is an exceptional |
| 5302s | uh use of time travel thematically |
| 5308s | um |
| 5308s | in our Quest system and it's the best |
| 5310s | one there for that so I I can't see that |
| 5313s | going away anytime soon |
| 5317s | especially considering it's not |
| 5318s | mandatory it is fully optional to |
| 5319s | complete |
| 5328s | but I do hear you on the loading times |
| 5330s | and and hopefully just improving our |
| 5332s | loading times we'll fix that problem you |
| 5334s | know so I think that the um changing |
| 5337s | that Quest would be |
| 5340s | um treating the |
| 5342s | symptoms but not the cause |
| 5346s | that makes any sense |
| 5358s | what is the highest mono corruption that |
| 5360s | is played by EGT members I have no idea |
| 5363s | if you know this what class build is |
| 5365s | pushing that high I do not know I'm |
| 5366s | sorry it's probably it's probably like |
| 5368s | carve or Rhymer or Justin uh or Anna |
| 5371s | something like that |
| 5373s | um |
| 5378s | or someone else possibly I don't know |
| 5380s | um |
| 5385s | there's there's there are many talented |
| 5388s | Epoch players on the team for sure |
| 5391s | um |
| 5393s | I am not chief of Muslim at all no way |
| 5398s | um |
| 5405s | I just have a pretty face that's the |
| 5406s | only reason I'm here |
| 5411s | uh you can't laugh at yourself who can |
| 5414s | you laugh at right |
| 5415s | uh |
| 5430s | more questions what if I do |
| 5433s | will there be more time travel in the |
| 5435s | game besides a couple of zones you get a |
| 5437s | whole uh while leveling the overall |
| 5439s | concept of the game yeah we we |
| 5441s | definitely do look to incorporate more |
| 5443s | time travel effects into the game I |
| 5445s | think the the so the well-run college |
| 5446s | Quest it was an experimental Quest and |
| 5448s | is it is really a good example of |
| 5451s | um using time travel in a |
| 5453s | pretty normal but kind of a little bit |
| 5455s | there's a little bit of creativity there |
| 5456s | it's not just like go back in time and |
| 5458s | it's open |
| 5460s | um it's a little bit trickier than that |
| 5461s | which I love |
| 5462s | and if you haven't done that Quest ever |
| 5464s | I highly recommend going and doing it |
| 5465s | and reading all the dialogue and |
| 5466s | everything because I think it is uh I |
| 5468s | think it's one of our better side quests |
| 5470s | from a like writing and story and and |
| 5474s | just coolness perspective |
| 5480s | um |
| 5483s | but yeah working in more hard and clear |
| 5487s | time travel thematics and mechanics is |
| 5490s | something that we do |
| 5492s | um |
| 5493s | we do look for uh opportunities to do |
| 5497s | as a labored sentence |
| 5504s | uh will the ethos behind the falconer |
| 5506s | Mastery uh when designing skills what is |
| 5510s | the ethos behind the falconer Mastery |
| 5512s | when designing skills are their core |
| 5513s | goals of the Massachusetts |
| 5516s | noted the skills are still up in the air |
| 5518s | before |
| 5519s | um yeah so the |
| 5523s | um |
| 5527s | I don't know if I can actually answer |
| 5528s | this question properly sorry |
| 5531s | um |
| 5535s | I I think it's really just bringing to |
| 5537s | life the fantasy of being this |
| 5540s | um this this a rogue that that now has |
| 5543s | uh a very strong connection to uh this |
| 5547s | this Falcon that is become part of your |
| 5550s | character and |
| 5552s | um |
| 5554s | and just just really driving home that |
| 5556s | class fantasy and that |
| 5559s | um those those feelings through the |
| 5562s | mechanics I guess is really really the |
| 5563s | important part |
| 5565s | um |
| 5566s | like it's interesting because the the |
| 5569s | the falconer I I I think this is pretty |
| 5571s | obvious I think I can see this you won't |
| 5573s | be able to actually get a falcon |
| 5576s | on any class other than a falconer |
| 5579s | I hope that's not a shock to anyone |
| 5581s | um I think I feel like I've said that |
| 5582s | before maybe not but |
| 5585s | um |
| 5586s | you won't you'll be able to unlock the |
| 5588s | Falcon on a marksman let's |
| 5593s | say um |
| 5594s | and so like skills that directly |
| 5597s | interact with the Falcon can't be |
| 5600s | unlockable by the uh Marksman or blade |
| 5604s | dancer either right |
| 5608s | so these two skills here |
| 5611s | and these two skills here have different |
| 5613s | like abilities as far as interactions |
| 5617s | with the Falcon |
| 5619s | um and so so driving home that |
| 5621s | uh that class fantasy will not |
| 5624s | um I guess breaking the |
| 5627s | availability of skills too much is |
| 5629s | really important |
| 5631s | and then working in Base Class skills at |
| 5634s | the same time |
| 5637s | because there's there's room for Base |
| 5639s | Class skills to get added at the same |
| 5641s | time because the Rogue does not have a |
| 5642s | full complement Base Class skills |
| 5652s | so we are adding in thematically and |
| 5653s | mechanically synergistic abilities in |
| 5655s | the bass clots at the same time |
| 5657s | uh when we're designing the Mastery |
| 5659s | class skills as well |
| 5665s | or at least designing them with them in |
| 5667s | mind |
| 5676s | camera if we care about any of these |
| 5678s | really |
| 5683s | not really charges is nice |
| 5687s | but I don't really want to go through |
| 5689s | cool down increase |
| 5691s | at the end of the world |
| 5693s | just a long way to go I think with the |
| 5694s | points to get there |
| 5701s | where am I going |
| 5710s | no seriously where am I going |
| 5713s | why did I walk |
| 5716s | I didn't answer this before but I've |
| 5718s | forgotten that's okay what corruption is |
| 5721s | the game currently bounced around I feel |
| 5722s | I remember it being 2 300 and a |
| 5725s | follow-up question how do you guys feel |
| 5726s | about the builds that give me 1500 plus |
| 5728s | corruption are they need of a Nerf or is |
| 5730s | everything else and need a more Synergy |
| 5732s | power |
| 5733s | um generally we look at around 300 ish |
| 5736s | is what we're looking |
| 5737s | um and yeah the the builds that are |
| 5739s | hitting |
| 5740s | um |
| 5741s | 1500 is uh |
| 5748s | I don't want to say a mistake |
| 5751s | wow |
| 5753s | I just I really wanted to get to this |
| 5754s | chest guys do you see this stuff how |
| 5756s | amazing is all of this like wow |
| 5760s | can you believe that I almost didn't |
| 5761s | come back for this like increased poison |
| 5764s | damage oh pick that up |
| 5776s | I mean crit strike multi actually that's |
| 5778s | pretty good |
| 5783s | did I just |
| 5787s | okay ma'am actually just made a sweet |
| 5788s | item uh as a joke |
| 5792s | we're gonna |
| 5795s | just just just uh |
| 5798s | I'm just gonna fix this |
| 5804s | let me hear all right let's uh we're |
| 5807s | definitely serious about crafting this |
| 5808s | item and nothing's a joke uh hahaha |
| 5811s | gotcha |
| 5813s | yep |
| 5815s | it's actually sweet |
| 5819s | I don't want stop avoidance I think I |
| 5821s | want something else here |
| 5824s | chance to chill attackers I don't want |
| 5826s | that |
| 5828s | it's the slow attackers |
| 5830s | poison res that is exactly what I need |
| 5832s | right now what is going on |
| 5835s | what is going on |
| 5848s | that's not bad at all |
| 5855s | they're poisonous cap now fire was |
| 5857s | already overcapped |
| 5862s | I will take it a little bit extra get |
| 5865s | our passive originally look at that |
| 5866s | passive board gin |
| 5872s | I um |
| 5875s | I knew that was up there all along |
| 5880s | all right going back here I do have |
| 5882s | something else I do actually have |
| 5883s | something that I brought to share let's |
| 5885s | let's share this day |
| 5887s | um because this is a little sneak peek |
| 5889s | at the |
| 5892s | um holy lightning |
| 5895s | um |
| 5896s | on hit and on uh death VFX |
| 5900s | that enemies can have the video is doing |
| 5903s | some weird stuff here I do not know |
| 5904s | what's going on |
| 5906s | um but the effect so this is similar to |
| 5908s | say that affects the other elements that |
| 5909s | are already in game |
| 5910s | um and just showing that we're expanding |
| 5912s | it to be not strictly just these the the |
| 5915s | elements that we have in game but |
| 5916s | thematically a little bit uh variants as |
| 5919s | well |
| 5927s | yeah |
| 5929s | a little sneak there |
| 5932s | uh yes as far as the the 1500 |
| 5936s | corruption |
| 5937s | runs I I think that there's |
| 5941s | um |
| 5942s | I think expecting players to reach that |
| 5945s | high uh if if we expected players to |
| 5947s | reach that high in the corruption system |
| 5950s | corruption would have to be able to be |
| 5952s | increased faster than it is |
| 5955s | um |
| 5957s | I I don't think that there is |
| 5960s | uh I I think the people who are doing |
| 5963s | that are incredibly dedicated to pushing |
| 5966s | corruption and it's awesome |
| 5969s | um and I think it's probably getting |
| 5972s | pretty tedious for them and a lot of it |
| 5974s | is like I I don't like so I'm using |
| 5976s | conditionals because I'm not sure but I |
| 5978s | I gotta say that |
| 5980s | um I've never been overly tempted to |
| 5983s | push corruption that high organically |
| 5986s | um |
| 5988s | because it doesn't go up that fast |
| 5990s | really |
| 5993s | um |
| 5995s | so there's there's something needs to |
| 5998s | something needs to change a little bit |
| 5999s | in the in that system I'm not sure |
| 6000s | exactly what or how |
| 6002s | um but there's there's room for |
| 6004s | improvement definitely |
| 6014s | that was a lot of meteors I'm sad it |
| 6017s | didn't kill him |
| 6030s | there we go |
| 6032s | did like half them just not hit last |
| 6034s | time or something |
| 6036s | that's weird |
| 6044s | did I reach 2000 construction yet no |
| 6046s | I've never reached 2000 corruption |
| 6047s | myself not not |
| 6049s | um legitimately |
| 6051s | I've definitely played around with |
| 6053s | corruption that High |
| 6054s | um |
| 6055s | and and my throat was in build and stuff |
| 6057s | like that but I've uh |
| 6059s | I'm sorry to say that I've never done it |
| 6061s | properly |
| 6064s | oh what am I doing |
| 6068s | lesson number one kids don't stand in |
| 6070s | the fire |
| 6071s | oh look at that increased lightning |
| 6073s | damage though |
| 6076s | yeah look at that increased lighting |
| 6078s | damage |
| 6080s | let's try and slap that on someone at |
| 6081s | some point |
| 6087s | oh I know how to drink |
| 6091s | all right a follow-up question to the |
| 6093s | corruption one if that's okay of course |
| 6097s | uh if the game is balanced around |
| 6099s | approximately 300 corruption do you guys |
| 6100s | want these super high and optimized |
| 6103s | builds to be around 500 or a thousand |
| 6105s | corruption uh as in if a build with |
| 6107s | reasonably good gears at 300 do you guys |
| 6109s | want to build that super optimal ISP 500 |
| 6111s | or a thousand or something else I know |
| 6113s | these are quite hard questions to answer |
| 6115s | but very much appreciate the insight |
| 6118s | I I think it's really hard to put hard |
| 6120s | numbers to |
| 6123s | um to these things in general and I say |
| 6125s | like 300 is generally what we optimize |
| 6127s | around |
| 6129s | um or like uh bounce around and it's |
| 6132s | it's less of a |
| 6136s | um |
| 6138s | what do we balance the capabilities of |
| 6142s | the like the maximum potential of the |
| 6144s | capabilities of the builds around and |
| 6146s | more around what do we balance the |
| 6150s | um like gameplay experience around |
| 6155s | um where's Peak fun in that curve |
| 6159s | um and I I think that the the biggest |
| 6162s | problem comes from |
| 6164s | uh the the ability right right now I |
| 6167s | think the biggest problem comes from the |
| 6168s | ability to go so high and and |
| 6171s | um put so much into it that is like |
| 6174s | above and beyond what we expect and not |
| 6177s | get some like big reward for it |
| 6180s | um I I don't think the solution is just |
| 6182s | slap a big reward on it but like that |
| 6184s | would be a way to |
| 6186s | um |
| 6187s | fix it uh but I think the the solution |
| 6190s | lies probably lies more in |
| 6194s | um |
| 6196s | like adjusting the |
| 6200s | uh |
| 6203s | like the difficulty and reward curves to |
| 6206s | to to to to like ramp up faster than |
| 6209s | they do |
| 6210s | I think I think it's the right thing |
| 6212s | a lot of this is still discussion points |
| 6214s | a lot of this is still debate points |
| 6215s | it's not uh |
| 6217s | no no Sunstone really |
| 6221s | and there's lots of little changes that |
| 6222s | happen here and there that can have big |
| 6224s | impacts on things like this |
| 6227s | so we're still |
| 6228s | we're still waiting on |
| 6231s | um you know like like seeing how item |
| 6234s | factions affects things seeing how |
| 6237s | um other other changes to model the |
| 6238s | system affects things seeing how adding |
| 6240s | the new classes affects things |
| 6242s | um |
| 6244s | you know there's there's a lot of things |
| 6245s | that that can have |
| 6247s | impact on the systems |
| 6249s | but I think there's |
| 6251s | I think likely will be more interested |
| 6253s | in doing this water orb more interested |
| 6255s | in doing a a larger scale balance update |
| 6260s | um |
| 6261s | like close close to 1.0 |
| 6265s | oh my God item linking yes I see items |
| 6269s | in LinkedIn chat that's so cool |
| 6278s | so nice to finally get it in |
| 6284s | the actual builds |
| 6292s | geez did meteor didn't go off |
| 6296s | maybe it did I'm just weak |
| 6298s | do I just suck |
| 6302s | oh I'm just bad |
| 6305s | when did I become bad |
| 6315s | okay I got good again |
| 6321s | Chris city likes 450 how to build a |
| 6323s | field of 420. |
| 6325s | uh the meteor belt is cool but I was |
| 6327s | surprised to see an item that grants an |
| 6329s | access to something from a specific |
| 6331s | class uh what goes into deciding what |
| 6333s | skills can be given across to other |
| 6335s | classes |
| 6336s | um |
| 6338s | yeah so so uh part part of |
| 6343s | we do it conservatively in general |
| 6346s | um |
| 6348s | if if a skill is typically it's |
| 6353s | um abnormally |
| 6355s | well-liked cross classes |
| 6359s | and maybe thematically appropriate for |
| 6361s | the classes so um |
| 6364s | if we were gonna pretend that no other |
| 6367s | games in the genre exist |
| 6369s | and |
| 6371s | um we were gonna use our our theming |
| 6374s | rules for various classes already uh |
| 6377s | meteor would be a druid skill |
| 6381s | which sounds weird I know |
| 6383s | um but media would be a druid skill |
| 6385s | possibly a shaman skill but |
| 6393s | alright I've restarted the stream again |
| 6398s | I hope people can hear me |
| 6401s | it's quite frustrating |
| 6405s | which says I have zero viewers that's |
| 6407s | unfortunate |
| 6416s | Doug as I I do not believe that for a |
| 6419s | moment but it is funny to think about it |
| 6425s | we're back we're back |
| 6428s | sorry about that everybody |
| 6430s | we're like right at the boss fight we're |
| 6432s | gonna do the boss fight |
| 6434s | um |
| 6437s | and it both ended and not ended |
| 6440s | um all right so the |
| 6442s | I was in the middle of answering a |
| 6444s | question about |
| 6446s | uh class skills and which where they go |
| 6450s | and all that sort of stuff and I was |
| 6451s | talking about meteor probably ending up |
| 6453s | as a shaman ability or a at least a |
| 6456s | primeless base ability of some way |
| 6459s | um |
| 6461s | that that's yeah that's basically I |
| 6463s | didn't say much after that I don't think |
| 6469s | anything like but if it was on that it |
| 6472s | would likely be like a club comment it |
| 6474s | would be a cold fire conversion node |
| 6477s | that's what I said |
| 6479s | um just because it's it's it's like a |
| 6481s | natural phenomenon that's happening here |
| 6483s | you're incur you're inciting Nature's |
| 6485s | wrath is is what it's like it's a meteor |
| 6487s | is a natural thing |
| 6489s | but it's just so intrinsic to the Mage |
| 6492s | class and the sorcerer class as a as a |
| 6496s | Mainstay the RPGs that that we probably |
| 6499s | would that's why we left in the mage |
| 6502s | um and this this instance in particular |
| 6504s | it's such a popular ability uh and it |
| 6506s | does have this cross-class overlap a |
| 6508s | little bit that we we decided to to give |
| 6510s | it that to open it up a little bit and |
| 6512s | let it become more |
| 6515s | um Universal |
| 6531s | uh regarding bounce pass I imagine a |
| 6533s | wall |
| 6535s | imagine a wall at Tres house covered in |
| 6539s | spreadsheet printouts and crazy for |
| 6541s | Springs how close am I oh like the like |
| 6543s | the like the Charlie Day gift just like |
| 6546s | the |
| 6556s | I think that's what's that's inside |
| 6558s | inside the brain just |
| 6560s | the Mind Palace is that's what it looks |
| 6563s | like |
| 6568s | I think the chances of me successfully |
| 6570s | [ __ ] completing this boss fight first |
| 6573s | try is like zero percent |
| 6582s | insects |
| 6591s | oh yeah I should have saved a little bit |
| 6593s | of juice for this shouldn't I |
| 6611s | oh |
| 6614s | all right |
| 6616s | okay uh |
| 6623s | okay |
| 6642s | here we go just get enough in there |
| 6645s | teleport oh no oh okay okay |
| 6655s | oh |
| 6659s | just just just die |
| 6663s | wait essence of avarice |
| 6668s | never noticed it |
| 6679s | yeah |
| 6681s | we did it fights over good job everybody |
| 6685s | nailed it |
| 6692s | oh gosh she's back |
| 6701s | who could have seen this terrible twist |
| 6702s | coming |
| 6712s | okay |
| 6737s | I need so much more Mana |
| 6780s | that's my Mana potion just dying |
| 6798s | come on oh my God no |
| 6803s | tomorrow |
| 6805s | at least |
| 6807s | just to squish |
| 6811s | it's just too squish |
| 6813s | it's okay we got to the campaign and we |
| 6815s | are one minute shy of the deadline |
| 6821s | take it |
| 6827s | coal damage you know it's over time no |
| 6830s | thank you |
| 6836s | yeah not so much |
| 6844s | hello goodbye |
| 6850s | I will not die I cannot die |
| 6855s | give me that passive |
| 6857s | I got a cool down recovery speed oh I |
| 6859s | want that |
| 6866s | I know this effect bothers some people |
| 6868s | sorry about that |
| 6876s | all right |
| 6878s | we did it |
| 6880s | we got to the campaign |
| 6884s | I know I mentioned this a few times on |
| 6885s | the stream before but I really like this |
| 6887s | little this little nod here this |
| 6888s | character forgotten Knight |
| 6891s | um our original |
| 6894s | plate wearing sword and board class was |
| 6897s | called the Knight and was a female |
| 6898s | character |
| 6900s | um |
| 6901s | so this is a little nod to our original |
| 6903s | class |
| 6905s | uh well actually it was originally a |
| 6907s | void night |
| 6909s | actually originally originally it was a |
| 6911s | knight the very first thing was only a |
| 6913s | knight that was the only thing in the |
| 6914s | entire game |
| 6916s | um |
| 6917s | there was no classic selection at all |
| 6922s | it was like |
| 6923s | pre-pre-kickstarter |
| 6930s | a couple questions here let's answer a |
| 6932s | couple questions before we finish up |
| 6933s | we're right right at the end here |
| 6935s | all the technical difficulties stream |
| 6937s | it's kind of rough |
| 6938s | hopefully awful things go smooth next |
| 6940s | time |
| 6941s | I did just talk about in a non-question |
| 6944s | but do you guys feel that the echo |
| 6946s | specific modifiers like being able to |
| 6948s | get void monsters have 200 increased |
| 6949s | damage and stuff and their scaling with |
| 6951s | corruption is way more impactful than |
| 6953s | the corruption itself is making it |
| 6955s | really annoying and kind of abrasive |
| 6957s | when you hit a blockage in your web |
| 6960s | where almost all the choices are really |
| 6961s | nasty offensive mods do you guys feel |
| 6963s | they're the same or are you happy with |
| 6966s | the system |
| 6968s | It's tricky because one of the key parts |
| 6970s | of the system that we're that we really |
| 6972s | want to keep and that we think has right |
| 6974s | now is the ability to tailor the |
| 6977s | um that experience to yourself that |
| 6979s | ability to say hey |
| 6981s | um these are the things I'm really good |
| 6983s | at these are things that I care actually |
| 6984s | bad at |
| 6985s | um Let me let me try and strategically |
| 6987s | move through this end game system such |
| 6990s | that I can maximize my potential as a |
| 6993s | character |
| 6994s | and |
| 6996s | um |
| 6997s | the more we pull that uh the the |
| 7001s | difficulty and the reward from the |
| 7003s | individual mods onto corruption itself |
| 7005s | the the the the the more the less that |
| 7008s | is uh as effective |
| 7010s | um and it might not be we may not have |
| 7014s | pulled enough over yet |
| 7016s | um |
| 7017s | and and there's like we get enough |
| 7019s | feedback on some that I I still be |
| 7022s | paying that there should be some uh |
| 7025s | discussion on that to happen but it's a |
| 7027s | little unclear what the best course of |
| 7028s | action is right now |
| 7033s | please tell my kids not to gargle their |
| 7036s | orange juice |
| 7038s | uh |
| 7041s | in you must goes kids stop gargling your |
| 7045s | orange juice |
| 7046s | drink that |
| 7047s | it's good for you |
| 7051s | uh all right are there currently any |
| 7053s | plans to make boss fights easier to |
| 7055s | access I feel the fights aren't too |
| 7056s | intrinsically hard but getting a feel |
| 7059s | for a dungeon boss and mechanics |
| 7060s | requires a lot of runs especially if I'm |
| 7063s | dying yeah I think |
| 7065s | um |
| 7068s | I I I do think that there's room for |
| 7071s | improvements in uh the ability to learn |
| 7075s | a boss fight especially dungeon uh boss |
| 7077s | fights |
| 7079s | as as right now there can be a pretty |
| 7081s | big lead up to to get in that second |
| 7084s | attempt |
| 7085s | model of two actually |
| 7095s | give a big smile awesome glad this is a |
| 7098s | great great way to end the Stream |
| 7101s | and we will end the stream there |
| 7103s | thanks for coming out everybody I |
| 7104s | appreciate you I had a great time I hope |
| 7106s | you did too |
| 7107s | I will be back same time same place next |
| 7110s | week |
| 7111s | we'll have lots more awesome stuff to |
| 7112s | even talk about |
| 7114s | um |
| 7115s | hopefully you're having fun playing the |
| 7116s | game if you have more questions that I |
| 7118s | did not answer or just |
| 7121s | um didn't quite get them in in time or I |
| 7123s | was muted when I was answered or |
| 7124s | something like that please feel free to |
| 7126s | head on over to our discords and ask the |
| 7127s | devs channel uh where we're hanging out |
| 7130s | answering questions all the time |
| 7132s | um |
| 7133s | if you are |
| 7135s | uh don't like that there's also Reddit |
| 7137s | uh our forums |
| 7140s | um there's other platforms as well lots |
| 7142s | of helpful people hanging around all |
| 7143s | over the place |
| 7144s | um |
| 7145s | yeah |
| 7148s | we'll see you next time I hope I hope |
| 7150s | you're having a wonderful day |
| 7155s | go say hi to somebody |
| 7158s | all the change to the UI makes it way |
| 7161s | harder to copy stuff now |
| 7163s | that's frustrating |
| 7178s | speaking of people who are way better at |
| 7180s | last Epoch than me |
| 7182s | foreign |
| 7188s | have a great time everybody see you |
| 7189s | later |
