54s	so we're gonna we're gonna keep on
55s	keeping on with our
58s	our
61s	uh quest for a Titan heart that doesn't

74s	the soul
76s	so we're gonna we're gonna go back I'm
77s	gonna try for something else

80s	I'm pretty sure this one I guess we can
82s	tell actually it doesn't say greater so
83s	yeah let's let's go here we're just
84s	gonna try and
85s	go for a nice upgraded version of this I
88s	think great get a greater one
92s	shoot squirrels from their mouths
96s	all right is favor system planned before
99s	1.0 so we've we've kind of talked about
102s	this like nebulous idea of a favor style
104s	system and we I think it's maybe been in
106s	like a
107s	um
108s	oh uh a road map at some point or
110s	something like that and it's it's
113s	um still pretty fledgling
115s	um I don't I don't know if we'll have
117s	anything like that for
119s	uh 1.0 or not but I mean
122s	I hope so but I don't know
129s	what's already on here this one's
130s	already going
133s	great chance endurance shred I mean yeah
135s	we're fine with all this pretty well
137s	The Shred armor on it's not fantastic
139s	though
144s	let's just go for some more experience I
146s	think
148s	um frenzy Haze is roughed up
162s	yeah let's do that whatever it means it
164s	don't matter anyways I can focus that's
166s	all they want
168s	oh
171s	oh if this is your first time here
173s	welcome uh if you have any questions
175s	please feel free to ask them uh but put
178s	an at last Epoch game in the chat so I
180s	see it and I'll get to it as soon as I
182s	can I might be a little bit behind and I
184s	apologize for that but I'll do my best
186s	to get through all of them if I can
190s	um
191s	also we stream for charity here so our
193s	charity is always about my head and
194s	we're doing the Salvation Army this time
196s	pretty cool new one every month that's
199s	what we got going on
200s	and on to questions uh what major
203s	content are you planning for point nine
205s	since there's no content in your post
208s	uh on Forum just some visual
209s	improvements why did your Elite
211s	developer told the decision the point
212s	that would be for sure
214s	uh there's there's a lot of problems
216s	with this question but I'm reading it
217s	verbatim but I do not agree with the
218s	question
219s	um and why did your lead developer told
221s	this stream that 0.9 would for sure be
223s	until the end of the year when you're
224s	planning to release the game this phase
226s	thank you for the answers okay so first
227s	off that was never settled into this
228s	stream uh just like go watch it back
231s	that's not what was said
234s	um
235s	there's there's lots of content in the
237s	post as well
238s	um so like there's I
241s	sorry I I very much disagreed the post
245s	um there's also it's also not exhaustive
248s	so this is
249s	um focusing on things that have happened
251s	since our last
253s	um development update that's all it is
255s	it's just it's the things that happen
257s	between our last element update and
259s	right now that's all that this post is
260s	really focusing on
262s	um
263s	yeah
269s	all right other side of the world is
271s	ready for breakfast leaks I don't think
273s	there's a ton of news that came out
275s	today it all went into that post I will
276s	tell you right up front if you're just
278s	here for extra leaks I got basically
280s	nothing for you I'm sure there'll be
282s	questions that'll come up and I'll talk
283s	about things and accidentally you know
284s	muddle my way through saying something I
286s	shouldn't but you know it's I don't I
287s	don't have any uh visual aids prepared
290s	this day unfortunately for you
296s	but you know I I don't always come with
298s	them
300s	are more dungeons playing before 1.0 um
303s	more than just one of those things that
304s	we'd love to get more of them in as soon
305s	as we can
306s	um when the next ones come I don't have
308s	a firm date on yet
310s	um but it's it is it is definitely a
312s	system that's that's going to be
313s	expanded
317s	uh is chapter 10 still planning to come
320s	before 1.0 oh uh
328s	before want uh
332s	I
335s	we we we we letter them internally and
338s	number them externally so let me see
340s	here it's like chapter nine
342s	um okay that's a good way to do it that
344s	was Majestic chapter nine um so ten is I
346s	yeah
348s	um which I know is not the tenth letter
350s	of the alphabet uh
356s	Maybe
358s	that's that's a that's a flex depending
361s	on a few things that will
363s	you know depends on how things go if
365s	it's um before 1.0 or not
372s	trading Plan before
374s	or at least with 1.0 sorry I've already
375s	answered so this is this is
378s	um this is to find trade right
382s	um so there is a system that will be
384s	this is this was in the post the the
386s	um development post that was uh posted
389s	today so if you've read that just I'm
390s	gonna say the same thing that's in there
392s	um at point nine there will be a system
395s	by which items can be transferred from
396s	one player to another
398s	um
398s	and and that's like that will be there
401s	at 0.9 so yes
405s	but maybe no depending on how you define
407s	trade
407s	[Laughter]
412s	all right
414s	next one monster mcfluffing asks can you
416s	give a bit more information of a time
418s	frame on when the dedicated Trade Post
421s	is happening we've been hearing in the
423s	coming months uh and soon for a long
425s	time now it's important topic for a lot
427s	of people yeah it's it's still
429s	um
433s	nothing was said in chat and 100
435s	happened I assume you're referring to
436s	the ziz thing
437s	um
438s	so if we're gonna do this here like
440s	let's let's read this let's read the
441s	scare I'm gonna go back and read
442s	carefully because I'm assuming it's
443s	about the right timing for this
445s	um
446s	why did your lead developer who wasn't
449s	in that call so he definitely couldn't
451s	have said it uh even if you but we'll
453s	ignore that part for a second
455s	um told on this stream that 0.9 will be
458s	for sure until the end of the year let's
461s	let's reword this though it actually is
462s	what he's trying to say because I think
464s	there's a little bit of a language
464s	barrier here so
465s	um
466s	uh so why did your producer uh say on
470s	zizz's stream that 0.9 would be released
473s	but for sure before the end of the year
475s	that's the question is trying to say
477s	um
478s	they I think the way it was worked and
481s	you go back and double check on this one
482s	I've watched this stuff so many times
484s	was
486s	um we hope to have point nine out before
488s	the end of the year
489s	um it's very different than for sure
490s	it'll be up before the end of the year I
492s	I think in my world at least those are
494s	very different statements
495s	um
496s	so yeah that's
499s	Let's uh
504s	move on from that
506s	all right
508s	uh so the when is the Trade Post coming
512s	I have no idea I'm sorry
514s	um there's still things we're you know
516s	working out with it it's not completely
518s	set in stone yet and we've learned that
519s	posting something that's a work in
521s	progress is a recipe for disaster
532s	all right can you oh no what have I done
536s	there we go can you point out any
538s	content uh that was mentioned in the
540s	updated I can't seem to find any content
541s	for point nine sure
546s	let's make sure I'm not gonna die in
547s	here
548s	yeah that one looks fine
553s	I mean
556s	here here's some content right here
563s	this is none of this content anymore
569s	like
571s	it's gonna select it all no
573s	that is is none of this content at all
578s	I mean this is this is talking about how
579s	we're adapting echoes someone's called
582s	this content here
586s	but once again this is just the stuff
587s	that we've
589s	finished between the last
592s	development update and just don't update
593s	uh for content
596s	key key phrase there's finished as well
609s	and I know there's like this it's it
611s	doesn't go into very heavy details on
614s	what these are but there's a lot of
615s	skill updates that have happened here I
617s	know this is kind of like a one-liner
619s	that just sort of goes over vague
621s	definition of things that have happened
622s	but it is like there's a lot of stuff
624s	with skills that have happened recently
627s	um also just a lot of General gameplay
630s	improvements
633s	but like if okay I guess the question
635s	might be need to be afraid so are we
636s	talking about content of
638s	um
639s	like uh new game mechanics new systems
642s	is that is that word is that what we're
644s	talking about with content like
645s	um
647s	uh like what new systems or new game
650s	mechanics are being introduced important
651s	is that the question that we're trying
652s	to ask
665s	might be it might be what we're trying
666s	to do there's so many terminologies that
669s	it's like it's so hard to get on the
671s	same page is what's let's be nasty in
673s	there
680s	I'm being dm'd that yes this is what
682s	we're what we're asking
684s	um in which case there's no new systems
686s	that were announced in this development
688s	update
699s	uh do you have a plan for how many
701s	patches between point and 1.0 yes
704s	um doesn't seem like there's many more
706s	things on the to-do list after
707s	multiplayer there's not a huge well okay
710s	so there's a ton of things we want to do
711s	there's not a lot of things that we need
713s	to do before 1.0 launches so like
715s	there's a lot of things that are on the
716s	post 1.0
718s	um
720s	uh to-do list for sure there's tons of
722s	stuff coming there uh but yeah it's
724s	there's not a huge slew of things that
727s	are um like CIS new system mechanics
730s	coming in before 1.0 you're right
744s	yeah like new skills new items new maps
747s	new systems things like that yeah like
749s	it's it's like where's the content line
750s	it's hard to say
753s	content wants it when do I get a sword
754s	made of squirrels
758s	I don't think they'd like that very much
762s	like he made like a like a whip or
765s	something
766s	squirrels attacked like holding onto the
767s	tail in front of them
771s	be terrifying
782s	most seems only to think content is like
784s	additions to end game chapters dungeons
786s	Etc stuff that extends the game and what
788s	to do I mean yeah so it's even that
791s	distinction's a little a little bit gray
793s	right because like as soon as you say
795s	things that extend the game and what to
797s	do
798s	um a new unique item can do that I think
800s	right
803s	so it's it's I Think It's Tricky but
805s	yeah I I hear what you're saying
817s	yeah okay so someone someone's got the
819s	stream transcripts yeah that's exactly
820s	what I'm saying perfect uh our release
822s	timeline still I'm I'm reading this of
825s	what someone else has transcribed from
826s	the video so I don't know if it's a
827s	perfect quote but it looks right to me
828s	this is what I remember
830s	um our release timelines still aren't
831s	out in the world but we're trying to aim
833s	for open Beta this year yeah so we're
835s	that was the goal if possible uh as you
838s	can see we're getting pretty close at
839s	this point but I want to avoid specific
841s	dates still for the time being yeah so I
843s	think that's a pretty Far Cry from
844s	guarantee you know
856s	all right that content will not get you
859s	new players if you want to survive D4
861s	and Poe too uh I I think okay I'll
865s	reduce this question
867s	um uh when we are saying content we mean
869s	content similar to what Poe is doing not
871s	by magnitude but yeah some new in-game
874s	skills mechanics
876s	Etc so I think I think those types of
878s	things are really good for
881s	um to re-engage returning players which
883s	is really important to do
885s	um and is is really important for the
887s	long-term health of the game and uh like
890s	like the long-term fun that people are
891s	gonna get out of it no just extending
893s	the amount of stuff that's there to do
894s	it's really important absolutely I'm not
896s	saying we're not going to do that
897s	um
898s	but I I don't think that's the most
901s	important way to get players to come
903s	from
904s	uh to the new players to try out the
906s	game really
908s	um
909s	because there's no there's no
911s	um reference Baseline to to go off of
912s	there so like
916s	I don't definitely won't wouldn't do
918s	this but hypothetically you could you
920s	could just take a system that's been in
922s	the game for a year and and Market it as
924s	something new to someone who's never
925s	seen the game before and they would have
926s	no idea the difference right
928s	um just because you're adding
931s	like improving the game overall is going
933s	to help to to bring in new players
936s	um adding new end game mechanics
939s	doesn't inherent I I think it's a bigger
941s	impact on returning players than new
943s	players
945s	I could be wrong about that
948s	Le 2024 oh gross
953s	uh yeah most people not want uh waiting
955s	for multiplayer that have played for a
956s	while want to know what new end game is
959s	coming in the future classes after after
961s	Point night release yeah that's
962s	reasonable thing to want to know
965s	uh when did you know you won't be able
967s	to release multiplayer this year pretty
969s	recently
970s	um I don't know an exact date of it
974s	um
976s	go back and watch my streams when I stop
978s	answering that question
979s	[Laughter]
981s	that's about what I do
987s	there's a few streams before uh for the
989s	announcement just a couple streams
990s	before the announcement went out
992s	I think that I uh stopped answering
995s	when his appointment coming with the
997s	goal is this year so it wasn't it wasn't
999s	long before the announcement before when
1000s	we really decided it was done for this
1002s	year
1006s	which we try and keep you guys as up to
1007s	date as possible
1009s	um
1010s	we we really avoid sitting on
1011s	information usually if you guys don't
1013s	know something usually it's because it's
1016s	just not this is not decided yet
1029s	all right
1031s	don't think ezekiel's pretty slow casual
1032s	like you know
1043s	all right
1051s	no new content before 1.0 wow I I think
1056s	that's a extreme leap in logic that is
1059s	definitely not true at all
1061s	like categorically false no
1065s	I I have a question about beastmasters
1068s	scorpion do the baby scorpions count as
1070s	your own minions
1073s	um
1075s	kinda depends what context you're asking
1079s	uh also there is a node that lets the
1081s	Scorpion use ice Thorns depending on
1083s	your uh ice Thorn I'm assuming tree
1087s	are those ice Thorns now scaled by
1089s	strength and Minion modifiers instead of
1091s	Attunement and spell damage
1094s	um so minions don't get uh attribute
1097s	scaling regardless so it's not scaled by
1099s	strength
1100s	um and they don't have any strength
1101s	origin so it doesn't matter
1104s	um
1105s	but yes they're scaled by minion
1106s	modifiers because minion modifiers what
1109s	minion modifiers do is they give the
1110s	stats to your minion as you summon it so
1113s	that they then become regular modifiers
1115s	on the minion so when the minion uses
1117s	the ability
1118s	um they're just using it the same way
1120s	you would so you so they have those same
1121s	stats so yes it uses minion modifier
1124s	when the minions using the ability the
1125s	minion uses menu modifiers uh which are
1128s	actually just regular modifiers that
1129s	have started out as menu modifiers for
1131s	yourself
1134s	um generally baby scorpions count as the
1136s	Scorpions minions
1140s	they are allies
1142s	uh 807 that should be enough
1145s	that should be enough
1149s	uh did we just go
1153s	just go I think we just go
1161s	heal up first get rebuked back on there
1164s	we go
1166s	foreign
1173s	oh also I've just been told that it
1176s	never actually uses your ice thornster
1177s	even though it says it does it was a bug
1179s	in there that stopped it from doing it
1180s	so it's it's just the it's so self using
1182s	its own Iceland Street
1187s	all right
1190s	it sounds like grouping will require
1191s	only one key between the entire group
1193s	yes true right now uh doesn't that give
1196s	a big advantage to grouping over solo
1198s	when grouping multiple ladder and I a
1201s	big Advantage it's not really that big
1203s	of an advantage the keys are
1207s	um
1209s	like they're not
1212s	raining from the sky or whatever but
1213s	they're also not like
1216s	um
1217s	super super duper rare
1220s	so it's uh it's not
1225s	it's usually not that big of a deal
1235s	if you fly by there we go
1238s	come on down
1240s	um so so yeah it's it is it's a little
1243s	bit nicer
1245s	on that
1246s	um but it's not like
1248s	uh it's not it's not zero the reason for
1250s	this I can tell you why why this is the
1252s	way it is
1254s	um and hopefully that'll shed a little
1255s	light here we wanted to avoid the
1257s	situation where say you're in a group of
1259s	four people and you're doing temporal
1260s	sanctum runs and one person runs out of
1262s	keys
1264s	um Now you kind of you're kind of in a
1266s	weird situation where basically everyone
1269s	has to stop while that person Farms up
1271s	Keys
1273s	um or while everyone Farms up Keys
1274s	possibly or
1277s	um
1278s	oh no a little bit of bug there
1280s	come on come on
1283s	um or a Subway well everyone firms up
1285s	keys or just this one person Farms up
1287s	Keys
1288s	um
1291s	or you leave that person behind everyone
1294s	else keeps going and that person Farms
1295s	up keys in their own it's just there's a
1297s	lot of like
1299s	um
1300s	splitting the party that happens we're
1301s	trying to avoid situations where the
1303s	game mechanics
1305s	um Force the party to split and go off
1307s	and do separate things like that like if
1308s	you're playing with your friends we want
1310s	you to be able to play with your friends
1312s	um and mechanics that that uh that sort
1315s	of prevent that from happening if they
1316s	can be avoided nicely
1319s	um oh I went to the wrong spot of the
1320s	room if they can be avoided nicely
1322s	without major uh Buffs or like you know
1324s	like disparity that way it's we're gonna
1326s	try it
1328s	um and a lot of the time things like
1329s	this are still like they're open for
1331s	debate they're open for feedback
1333s	um
1334s	and we'll look at the the like what's
1336s	going on and see if something needs to
1338s	change oh that was a big one come on
1340s	back over here girl
1343s	um
1348s	and uh
1350s	oh okay I'm a little bit the head of
1352s	this curve there we go uh and what am I
1355s	trying to say here Keys shared Keys yeah
1357s	so so so with only needing one key
1360s	um
1361s	you can kind of go until your party's
1362s	keys are done and then you can
1365s	um
1367s	you can join back up again and then on
1369s	top of that a lot of the
1372s	um a lot of the dungeon rewards the
1374s	major reason you're doing a dungeon in a
1375s	lot of cases
1377s	um the resource that that that
1380s	most restricts the total amount of value
1384s	or power or rewards you get out of it is
1386s	something external to the keys so um for
1389s	example in
1391s	Juan calling there we go for example in
1395s	um
1397s	oh we didn't get it that's too bad uh in
1402s	which I say Temple sanctum uh you're
1405s	you're looking at you need the like
1407s	unique item with legendary potential and
1409s	the exalted item to go in it
1412s	um so like it usually you're not going
1414s	to be chaining together a dozen of those
1416s	anyways
1418s	um and at the same time if say one
1420s	person had that ready to go they wanted
1421s	to go do it
1422s	um and their friend maybe maybe you
1424s	don't have a like a legendary ready to
1426s	get put together so you're like I don't
1428s	really need to go do that I don't want
1430s	to burn my own key just following you to
1432s	go do the thing you want to do
1434s	um so there's a lot of situations where
1435s	the the float each of you needing your
1438s	own key there's like there's a lot of
1439s	reasons to split up and not a lot of
1442s	reasons to actually play together and so
1444s	having the
1446s	um I'm sorry this is so disjointing
1447s	something with the boss fight trying not
1449s	to die
1450s	um but yeah having to do the having to
1453s	do the content separately like being
1455s	forced to split up is what we're trying
1456s	to avoid and you can see that a lot in
1458s	how we handle how we're handling the
1459s	model with rewards as well because
1462s	um a lot of these things you're seeing
1464s	here come from a lot of feedback and
1466s	testing from the CTS
1467s	um things that we we tried just horribly
1470s	failed
1471s	um and and other things we tried what
1473s	went better and so we're tuning what
1475s	we're doing based on feedback and that's
1477s	going to continue I think we've proven
1478s	that's the way we work
1480s	um best as well long term anyway so
1482s	that'll continue
1484s	long answer not question so it was a big
1486s	one I thought
1489s	oh all right are you worried was the
1492s	game not really having anything new to
1494s	do for one year that will it will impact
1496s	the other people's show up for 0.9
1497s	probably yes
1500s	um do I think it's going to be uh a
1504s	problem no
1508s	promise I mean this is a shot just
1509s	curious about your thoughts yeah it's
1510s	totally fine even if it was a shot I
1512s	understand it's not not a big deal not
1514s	upset
1515s	um oh great multi that's nice
1519s	shred void res on hit
1523s	that might actually be better
1527s	because we hit so frequently
1533s	this really helps us with uh bigger
1535s	enemies that were like laying into a
1536s	bunch stacked that up huge I I this one
1539s	does sorry I think we're gonna switch
1543s	why not right there's some fun with it
1551s	these these fit so well together
1556s	I love it I'm not gonna use either them
1558s	I love it
1567s	oh yeah I think a balance pass is enough
1570s	content but mostly it's not I I mean
1572s	like
1574s	um
1575s	we're doing more than a balance pass
1577s	don't worry
1578s	but I I do agree that bounce fence is
1580s	content
1581s	but it's it's a small piece of content
1583s	compared to what's coming out
1586s	um because like like yeah new items new
1587s	skills things like that I think to me at
1589s	least are really exciting content
1591s	um and maybe that comes from a little
1594s	bit more of a like magic card background
1596s	in a lot of cases
1599s	um where I'm like they released three
1601s	new cards that are good for the format I
1603s	love
1604s	content you know
1609s	not facetiously like I seriously mean
1611s	that uh
1616s	uh I think I think this is the only go
1617s	for next
1624s	uh do you know if the latter will be
1628s	working for point nine uh the goal is
1629s	for it to be
1631s	um I'd be pretty disappointed if it
1633s	wasn't
1635s	um it's not working yet
1637s	so
1639s	I can't make any promises on it but the
1641s	the the it's on the list
1644s	of what we're hoping for it might not
1645s	make it
1647s	hope it does
1655s	the Rogue is still missing a skill for
1656s	Mastery
1659s	uh from from Mastery 20 and Base Class
1661s	like other classes have
1664s	um
1666s	last week oh uh I'm not sure what that
1668s	20 is
1670s	but yeah they'll at 1.0
1674s	um pretend there's a skill here all
1676s	skills all all classes will have the
1678s	same number of skills plus one
1680s	um and they'll all have skill trees
1682s	unlike Healing Hands
1683s	um but yeah it'll be the full grid here
1686s	for all of them at 1.0
1690s	uh the question is is this hoping to be
1693s	filled in before the other Mastery
1694s	classes are released or must we be
1696s	patient uh it depends so some classes
1700s	will get those things filled in before
1701s	1.0 some of them will get them filled in
1704s	probably at 1.0
1706s	um
1711s	they'll definitely all be the same at
1713s	1.0
1719s	we are getting a ton of void registered
1721s	stacking really fast do we have anything
1722s	else that's doing that too
1725s	I don't know because you get too much
1727s	because uh resistance shreds stack cap
1729s	at 15 right now
1731s	um so you can get too much of it it's
1732s	actually kind of a waste
1738s	oh you need to update the charity
1742s	Steve do you not oh that's the
1744s	development post
1749s	sorry that was no link you sent me
1752s	that's my bad
1759s	oh Gorsuch
1762s	Steve if you send me the link I can do
1763s	it
1765s	but they don't know where it is I'm
1766s	sorry
1768s	uh and I thought
1770s	you go night bot please
1773s	Google thank you very much
1784s	oh never mind I don't think I need a
1786s	link I can just do it here
1788s	um
1794s	cool should be good now
1800s	let me get back to questions
1802s	I'm there make warlock great we will
1804s	don't worry it's it's gonna be sweet I'm
1806s	very pumped about warlock I think it's
1809s	um
1811s	I think it's gonna be
1813s	uh something that a lot of people are
1814s	really pumped for
1817s	um
1820s	and I think it's I think it's gonna be
1822s	really interesting class to play and
1823s	it's gonna be a lot of fun mechanics
1824s	there as well
1829s	of of the
1832s	um
1834s	I I made a warlock in WoW for a long
1836s	time that was that was my baby and uh
1843s	I don't want to draw comparisons during
1846s	comparisons there unnecessarily but just
1847s	as uh background I guess for me
1850s	personally
1851s	um I uh I'm really excited about the
1854s	Warlock in general I think that's gonna
1855s	be the acolyte class I play the most
1857s	initially partially just because it'll
1858s	be new you know
1860s	but uh
1862s	just just looking at the themes and
1864s	things you can do and that's that's
1865s	that's more my style than what we've got
1867s	now
1869s	which I do enjoy a lot but
1872s	yeah
1874s	all right are you planning on fighting
1876s	more players of the CT yep we do uh
1878s	there's still bites going out
1880s	the multiplayer have to be out before
1883s	jail before I'm I mean it'll be out on
1886s	March 9th
1887s	so
1888s	um we'll we'll see if that's gonna be
1890s	before jail before or not
1895s	actually point nine release can we
1897s	expect more frequent quarterly patches
1899s	or what and the the patch Cadence I I
1902s	hope we never go a full year without a
1904s	patch again that's that's I mean I don't
1906s	know if it's gonna be quite a full year
1908s	but close to it we'll call it a year
1909s	because it's close enough right
1911s	um that that's that's way longer than we
1915s	initially planned when we when we said
1917s	we're gonna do a long patch a year was
1919s	never the plan
1920s	um
1921s	and it's it's good like we did the right
1924s	thing I think we made the right
1925s	decisions and I think this is gonna work
1927s	out as well as it could have
1930s	um
1931s	and I'm like like it's gonna be good
1933s	it's just uh we never plan for a
1937s	year-long patch and uh
1940s	that's that's way longer than we'd
1943s	initially planned
1945s	and and we're not planning on your long
1948s	patch Cycles in the future either that's
1950s	that's just wait wait wait wait beyond
1952s	what we're planning
1961s	uh as you can say on how CT program will
1964s	change post 0.9
1967s	um that's a good that's a really good
1968s	question
1969s	um
1970s	I think it will be
1975s	ah it's a really hard question to answer
1977s	I don't have any concrete information on
1980s	what it will have like what what will
1982s	happen to it
1984s	um I can give you some speculation on
1985s	what I think will happen and that sort
1987s	of thing but
1989s	um
1991s	I
1995s	oh that's yeah that's probably the echo
1997s	damage nodes
1998s	bye
2003s	um I feel like entertainment I don't
2006s	need to send
2008s	oh what are we talking about here CT
2011s	program post point nine yeah it's it's
2013s	um
2017s	I'm not sure
2034s	the
2040s	sorry because DM's like crazy here I'm
2043s	not saying anything wrong though don't
2044s	worry it's fine
2045s	[Laughter]
2047s	uh how will the CT post change point
2049s	nine there's not gonna be I would say
2051s	massive sweeping changes we're still
2053s	going to use it for the same type of
2054s	thing we're still going to use it for
2057s	um
2057s	trying to get content out in front of
2060s	people before it's ready for a full
2062s	release
2063s	um I guess what we're trying to do is
2065s	transition the
2068s	um the core player base from expecting
2071s	uh beta content to expecting release
2075s	content it's kind of it's kind of the
2077s	the type of transition we're trying to
2078s	make where we can where we're more
2080s	confident in the things that are coming
2082s	out and
2085s	um and this is the type of transition
2086s	that we did I guess this year really
2087s	where
2089s	um I would say we were always we always
2091s	wanted to have as high quality as
2092s	possible but I think we've put a higher
2095s	and higher bar on that quality as we've
2097s	as we progressed and uh the CT program
2101s	now
2102s	if anyone's here is in it you'll know
2104s	there's there's a lot of bugs that go
2106s	into it there's a lot of experimental
2107s	features that go into it
2109s	um it's a lot less curated it's a lot
2111s	it's it's like well we'll put something
2112s	in let's be like in the patch notes the
2114s	CT program will be like this button
2116s	doesn't work if you click it you're
2117s	gonna have a bad time and I'm like
2119s	that's the whole thing there's if we're
2121s	gonna release that in a non-ct
2122s	environment like the button will be
2124s	removed and there'd be some sort of
2126s	notice there that would uh explain
2128s	what's happening it'll be like a
2130s	workaround system or something like that
2131s	but in the CT program it's kind of just
2132s	like well we're not testing that so
2134s	don't press it we're testing this other
2136s	thing press that
2138s	um and and that's the type of I guess
2140s	the difference between that and our
2141s	release content
2142s	also thank you very much
2145s	uh Hunter X Ben Kai killer as we said
2148s	for 11 months or seven seven months in a
2150s	row shout out to all my honey lovers
2152s	I love honey Honey's so cool as well
2155s	it's it's such a unique food
2158s	um in like like the shelf life that it
2160s	has and things you can do to it and how
2162s	its flavor changes based on just like
2164s	the flowers that were around when it was
2166s	when it was made by the bees and
2167s	different types of bees like there's all
2169s	sorts of crazy stuff with honey
2170s	um I'm no expert so if you're interested
2172s	go look at it yourself
2173s	uh cool fact about honey don't give
2176s	honey to infants kids under two should
2178s	not eat honey maybe one but you know uh
2183s	don't use this as medical advice either
2184s	go research it but don't give don't give
2186s	kids honey but babies that's bad for
2188s	them real bad
2191s	it's really good for adults though love
2193s	honey
2194s	I always put it in a teriyaki sauce yeah
2201s	oops bye-bye come back hello
2205s	foreign
2216s	all right happy Friday so happy to hear
2219s	about 0.9 purpose today happy Friday
2221s	Master story 12.91 glad to have you here
2227s	there's the there's a weird bug that
2230s	happened in multiplayer right now uh I
2232s	think it's fixed now but last time I was
2234s	a couple times ago we were playing and
2235s	the uh chest all the chests in there's a
2240s	study weren't working uh and it was like
2243s	those like three chests and spawned and
2245s	I was like none of them dropped anything
2246s	and I'm like
2252s	we got though
2254s	uh are there any new in-game mechanics
2256s	coming in point nine or any skills I'm
2258s	specifically interested in Marksman new
2260s	skills
2261s	um so maybe there's not there's no new
2265s	core game mechanics or marks and skills
2270s	that are completed now 4.9
2276s	but yeah
2279s	there's still time for things to happen
2282s	but um
2284s	I don't think there's any marketing
2286s	skills planned either it's
2288s	it'd be I'd be pretty surprised if one
2289s	squeaked in
2292s	we do need to get some more Marksman
2293s	skills on the books before or by launch
2296s	at least
2297s	um
2298s	I think there's
2300s	one missing from the mastery
2303s	and one ish missing from the base I
2307s	think
2308s	doesn't have to be Marksman specific but
2310s	we usually try and lean them towards a
2313s	specific class in the bases
2323s	uh can we expect to see Rye's skill tree
2326s	change the 0.9 oh uh
2329s	I don't I don't I don't know all the
2331s	details like can we expect to see
2333s	changes on skill X in point nine
2335s	probably I think there's so many little
2337s	changes all over the place that there's
2338s	a good chance that every skill is gonna
2340s	get something
2342s	um because there's a lot we did as I
2344s	mentioned before we did like a full pass
2346s	on all the skills and there were a lot
2348s	of things that were just kind of hiding
2349s	in there that just weren't doing
2350s	anything
2352s	um
2360s	I'm being told yes
2363s	getting a mini rework which has been
2365s	done cool
2366s	thanks armor
2367s	much appreciated
2371s	this is the problem I've been I've been
2373s	working on a bunch of UI stuff for the
2375s	last like three months uh so I've been
2378s	touching skills at all a little out of
2380s	the loop on them
2384s	show me the way to battle ice beetle
2388s	my battle Beetle brother
2393s	my Burr that'll be the brother
2395s	yeah
2397s	we got it we got there
2400s	we had we had to we had to pack for a
2401s	journey but we got there
2406s	oh it's done what am I doing
2410s	hello Mike hello
2414s	uh first Brazil just lost uh the match
2418s	in the FWC I'm sorry to hear that I do
2421s	not follow it at all unfortunately
2424s	um
2427s	just just just not my sport
2430s	but uh my condolences
2433s	uh but I'm happy to finally have a date
2434s	for point nine can you say to us if
2436s	everything on the infrastructure part
2438s	for patch point nine and multiplayer is
2440s	done in what part you guys feel is still
2442s	missing uh no I can't
2445s	um I don't uh
2449s	I don't work on the infrastructure stuff
2450s	as much
2454s	um
2456s	it's very very very good
2461s	um
2463s	I mean there's still little features
2464s	here and there that uh
2466s	need to get tweaked and updated and
2467s	everything like that the core
2469s	functionality is there working great
2475s	looks scary
2478s	um but I'm like
2482s	will it ever really be done you know
2484s	it's kind of how I feel about things
2486s	like that like there's there's always
2487s	there's always something to to update
2490s	and improve with with with all those
2491s	things so like
2493s	I hate I hate putting the label done on
2495s	it
2500s	just in general
2507s	but it's good enough that we've had
2508s	months of
2511s	um continuous uptime with the CT program
2514s	with extremely promising results
2518s	um
2521s	yeah
2523s	so is that
2525s	all right after point nine do you think
2528s	the following main patches will be
2530s	smaller or larger than pre-point Jaime
2532s	patches oh God I have no idea that's
2534s	that's a really difficult question to
2537s	um
2539s	to to answer I'm sorry I have no idea
2548s	uh is there any chance you would add the
2551s	possibility to summon multiple Bears
2552s	scorpion Sabertooth or Raptors the same
2554s	way how you can have a flock of ravens
2556s	or Wolves that's a very unlikely but not
2558s	impossible
2560s	um something like that would probably be
2562s	tied to an item or uh maybe a
2565s	combination of items or
2568s	um
2569s	probably just one item but yeah like
2571s	it's
2572s	the one of the big things we try and do
2574s	is
2576s	create uniqueness
2579s	um kind of wherever we can with
2583s	walk right past this thing my goodness
2584s	Mike babbling away
2587s	um with with most systems and most
2590s	um like skills and items and uh every
2594s	category we try and create as much
2595s	uniqueness as we can so we'll have
2597s	um
2601s	even just just class the class we try
2604s	and create as much neatness and then
2605s	skill the skill inside that so we try
2606s	and like carve it like what's this
2608s	what's this abilities role and is
2611s	converting this ability to like a good
2614s	example this actually is when we're
2615s	doing
2616s	um skill conversions so
2618s	uh uh there's not a lot of great
2621s	examples on this closet actually
2629s	okay I guess here's here's a good
2630s	example yeah so Ryan's getting reworks I
2634s	can say this about it right now a mini
2635s	mini work
2638s	um it's not not a ton but a few little
2640s	things anyways
2641s	um
2642s	the Vengeance and Rive are extremely
2644s	similar abilities on
2647s	um and monster too they're all they're
2649s	all very similar abilities on Sentinel
2652s	bass class
2653s	and we really try to carve out a unique
2656s	Niche for each one of them and so
2659s	Vengeance has clearly a defensive
2661s	component with it right
2664s	um so you're retaliating and then
2665s	there's a lot of things in here that
2666s	buff like defense while you're doing
2668s	that
2670s	um and then multi-strike has a pretty
2671s	clear AOE component where you're trying
2673s	to hit lots of different things with a
2674s	basic attack and these these three are
2676s	basic tank Replacements basically
2678s	um they all got zero they're all pretty
2680s	fast they're all pretty light hitting
2681s	they're all pretty small area that's
2683s	something they're basic attack
2684s	Replacements
2685s	um and
2688s	we we try and find a way to make make
2691s	each one of them unique
2693s	um and so we wouldn't put a like
2696s	Vengeance style uh defensive component
2699s	and retaliation component on Rive
2702s	because like that's vengeance's thing
2704s	you know
2706s	um and if as soon as you start putting
2708s	those types of effects and abilities on
2710s	revive what's the point of even having
2711s	Vengeance because you just got one
2713s	ability that does both things depending
2714s	on how you Speck in the tree so we try
2716s	we try to make sure there's clear
2717s	distinctions and a little overlap
2719s	between them as possible and like carve
2721s	out a unique Niche for each one of them
2723s	um and so with
2725s	with I guess I should just use Bears and
2727s	the minions as an example right up the
2729s	gate
2730s	one of the big things that makes uh
2732s	Ravens and wolves unique compared to all
2736s	those other um companions you have on
2738s	Beastmaster is uh that you can have a
2741s	whole bunch of them
2742s	um
2743s	and yeah scorpions you can get the mini
2745s	ones but like that's a different way of
2746s	getting more of them right like it's
2747s	it's a unique way of of like something
2750s	that's unique with that ability and
2754s	um
2756s	like this happens this happens a fair
2758s	bit with uh Elemental conversions on on
2761s	uh Mage and Rogue
2764s	uh actually wrote a lot funny enough but
2768s	yeah it's it's we we try we try and you
2770s	know
2771s	like
2773s	have things that they each do well
2777s	and have a lot of them is something that
2780s	wolves and Ravens do well having
2784s	um a lot of like bleed uh like high DPS
2788s	bleed poison hybrid support things like
2790s	that something where you're going for a
2792s	lot of individual fast hits on one one
2795s	companion that's like that's Raptors
2796s	Niche
2798s	um
2798s	there's a lot of bleed Synergy and
2800s	Raptor and uh when you look at bear and
2803s	you're looking at more of a more of a
2804s	tanky minion is is the goal there
2807s	um you look at saber tooth and we're
2808s	trying to uh temperatures need some love
2810s	there but I mean kind of the the way
2812s	that goes is it tries to get more into
2814s	that like the cold element
2816s	um some CC with cold abilities
2819s	um it's it's very agile in combat
2821s	because it can leap
2822s	um
2824s	so there's we try and have different
2826s	things each one of them can do
2829s	um so it's not just
2832s	um okay well all minions can do these 12
2834s	things uh which one do you like the
2836s	theming of most type thing and because
2838s	because that's
2839s	mechanically uninteresting you know
2843s	if they're all if they're all the same
2845s	then what's the point of having
2847s	different ones we might as well have one
2848s	skill tree with a single note on it lets
2850s	you change how they look
2851s	um and having them be thematically and
2853s	mechanically different and appropriate
2855s	to their themes everything like
2856s	mechanics represent their themes I think
2858s	really helps push that home
2863s	I'm like you can take that whole answer
2865s	and apply it to pretty well any Why
2868s	Can't This ability do the thing this
2869s	other ability can do or why can't this
2870s	class do this thing this other class can
2872s	do or why can't this item be the same
2873s	this other item can do
2875s	it's kind of the same answer
2886s	all right are you planning uh to do
2889s	Leagues uh domains alterations after 1.0
2893s	similar to Poe or similar gains yes
2894s	we're gonna call them Cycles
2897s	uh how many new skills on Sentinel will
2900s	be done before 1.0 one
2906s	that will be the Paladin's missing a
2908s	skill Healing Hands needs a skill tree
2910s	and sentinel's done
2917s	uh this one's yeah am I reading that at
2919s	what point in life you said I will grow
2921s	a massive beard
2924s	um when I got just fat enough to grow
2925s	that second chin no um
2928s	I was before before I had any right to
2932s	try and grow a beard
2936s	I I did start getting facial hair quite
2937s	young but uh looking back you're like oh
2940s	it's too soon bud
2942s	should have just held out like an extra
2943s	extra year would have been good
2946s	I also just don't like shaving
2949s	it's half of it right there
2955s	uh what was the reason that current
2956s	missing masteries are the ones which
2959s	come last like why did we pick those
2961s	specific masteries to not get at it
2963s	until now
2964s	um part of it was is to do with
2967s	um
2969s	class archetypes that
2972s	a so the one we the reason we picked the
2974s	ones we picked first so let's start
2976s	there's sort of like a few different
2977s	phases of this we started out with
2982s	it's drawing time it's drawing time
2986s	I wish this didn't like I wish I could
2988s	maybe take the whole screen whatever
2989s	though just drawing the whole screen
2990s	open whiteboard do I have like a
2991s	whiteboard out of the matter close
2993s	enough
2998s	oh my
3003s	okay so we let's let's say I don't know
3007s	where these where these patch lines are
3008s	exactly
3009s	um but we'll call this like the the 1.0
3012s	uh classes this is
3014s	falcon
3017s	[Laughter]
3019s	oh falconer
3022s	and uh Warlock
3026s	and
3027s	um
3029s	so that's that's the last two they're
3031s	coming
3032s	um and then the first the first ones we
3033s	did which were things like uh
3035s	Beastmaster was was really early uh may
3038s	I guess it was actually sork this is
3042s	before masteries even existed
3045s	um
3046s	uh uh necros in here
3050s	uh VK was here fortnite was here
3053s	um so these were our like very starting
3056s	this is the form this is what we'll call
3057s	this pre-masteries
3064s	I don't know what patch this was
3067s	um pre-mastery 1.0 and this is just just
3069s	the rest
3076s	everything else
3078s	uh gosh whatever it's gross
3082s	um
3085s	almost almost erased that out but
3087s	whatever we'll leave it so there's the
3089s	everything that came in this category
3090s	here
3092s	it's not released one two three
3095s	everything came in phase one
3099s	it's way overdone
3101s	everything came in phase one worth with
3103s	were classes that we were extremely
3106s	confident about and class archetypes we
3109s	knew absolutely would be popular and we
3112s	were super like like we just we we knew
3115s	the game had to have a a natural type of
3120s	of character that could use minions uh
3123s	was very physical
3125s	um was was like we knew we had to have a
3127s	character like that we knew we had to
3129s	have an Elemental Magic user sorcerer we
3131s	had to have that
3133s	um we knew we had to have a circumancer
3135s	like summoning undid minions
3137s	um death magic things like that we knew
3138s	we had to have that
3140s	boy that was a little was a little bit
3142s	of a weird one to have there as an early
3143s	one we knew we had to have a sword and
3145s	board that was actually a knight
3146s	character that came before this but I'm
3147s	kind of leaving it out
3149s	um and it was it was actually a female
3150s	Knight character
3152s	um interesting
3154s	uh ancient Leslie [ __ ] lore here uh and
3157s	so yeah the fortnite characters were the
3159s	ones that we knew we uh these these ones
3161s	so the boy night we knew we wanted a
3162s	sword and board style plate wearing
3164s	Armor class but at the same time we
3167s	wanted to have something unique in the
3168s	game and we wanted to have something
3170s	that was
3171s	um sort of our own like you can draw
3174s	direct comparisons in Diablo 2 and
3176s	Diablo 3 to basically everything here uh
3179s	pathology you just draw drunk in person
3181s	but it's a little bit unique and there's
3182s	a little bit of sort of a last Epoch
3184s	Vibe and flare that comes from that that
3186s	we wanted to have in the game really
3187s	early
3188s	and like this was this was these two
3191s	were pre-kickstarter this was like mid
3193s	Kickstarter and this was like a week
3194s	after Kickstarter or something like that
3195s	you know like we're talking really early
3198s	and so so those are the ones that's why
3200s	we did those ones first
3202s	um and then we started just kind of
3204s	putting in
3205s	uh fleshing out classes so we're just
3207s	we're just
3208s	um when we decided to do the masteries
3210s	thing and we're just adding in we're
3212s	just like let's get to two for all of
3213s	them
3216s	um trying to get the three as soon as we
3218s	can and we're just picking the ones that
3220s	we think are gonna be really popular and
3221s	are gonna hit clear class archetypes and
3223s	gonna be very different from the other
3224s	things so like what's what's the most
3225s	different what's the most new that we
3227s	can pull out of here and add in
3230s	um and then and these three got kind of
3232s	left I kind of left pretty late
3235s	um
3236s	and and they kind of just got pushed and
3237s	pushed and pushed
3239s	um we we kind of redesigned they've all
3242s	gone through a redesign actually from
3243s	the original version
3245s	uh and a lot of that's come from
3246s	feedback in the game just us learning
3248s	how to how to make these things uh
3250s	making the Rogue I guess we can like put
3252s	the Rogue in here it's like a
3255s	just like a little extra extra character
3258s	mini sub like 2.5 here you know as the
3262s	Rogue and
3264s	um
3264s	we learned a lot when making the Rogue
3266s	and that changed how we were approaching
3268s	these a lot
3270s	um
3270s	these these are the most unique I think
3272s	classes and the most there's there's the
3276s	fewest direct arpg comparisons that can
3278s	be drawn to these glasses from other
3280s	classes and games I think is I think
3282s	it's kind of an important uh keynote
3284s	there
3289s	I think that explains
3290s	[Music]
3292s	sorry I just kind of got random random
3294s	rambling there
3296s	uh don't forget to put out let's see if
3299s	I came to the questions so I'll see them
3300s	but I do see one here that doesn't have
3302s	it answered anyways uh any chance in
3303s	future gender lock is gone there's a
3305s	huge thread this is a question that
3306s	comes up for a bit
3308s	um the the overarching conversation is
3310s	character customization so that's
3312s	um like gender lock is is the same
3313s	conversation as uh I want to change my
3315s	height I want to change uh the way my
3318s	character
3320s	um like like the the the body type
3322s	weight distribution of my character I
3324s	want to change the the color of my
3325s	character's hair you know all these
3327s	things it's the same it's really the
3328s	same ask there's there's different
3330s	levels of this and like I doubt we'll
3332s	ever get into like
3334s	um I'm gonna move the jawline of my
3335s	character because like can you see that
3337s	no
3339s	um so there's diminishing returns on a
3340s	lot of these things in a game like this
3341s	because the camera angle on sort of
3343s	stuff
3343s	um and the gear you're wearing
3345s	but but broad picture stuff
3348s	um it's possible that we could edit some
3349s	stuff we'd really like to
3351s	um it will not happen by 1.0 1.0 all the
3354s	character models will be static and the
3357s	five you see before you now will be the
3359s	five that are used
3360s	um
3362s	yeah so so that's those are not I
3364s	shouldn't say this those would be the
3365s	five that'll use there could be changes
3366s	to those models and adjustments and
3368s	improvements and things like that but
3369s	the
3370s	um a little broadly speaking they'll be
3372s	those five
3374s	the support it's a post 1.0 thing we'd
3376s	love to don't have the time yet
3379s	would be safe to assume that there is no
3380s	more Del uh safe to assume there will be
3383s	no more delays for multiple release uh
3385s	just to set the record straight do you
3387s	think it will be March or to quote the
3389s	zip stream for sure for sure
3392s	um
3394s	I mean so there's always room for things
3396s	to go horribly wrong like we spent a
3398s	long time making sure we had plenty of
3400s	room plenty of Runway to do this
3403s	um like the the the language in the
3405s	official post is very clear like like
3407s	let's let's
3408s	let's go look at this
3415s	let's go over here date locked like
3417s	that's that's pretty absolute right like
3419s	that's that's his that's his I think
3422s	this is the first time we've ever
3422s	actually put a date to our multiplayer
3425s	release even when we've even we've like
3426s	said okay it's gonna come next year
3428s	things like that like we never put a
3429s	date to it and we spent a long time
3431s	picking this date
3432s	um and I I know there's there's a lot of
3436s	um
3437s	there's there's not a full detailed
3439s	explanation of why we picked this date
3442s	um
3443s	because because that that would be
3446s	this ridiculously long post of of every
3448s	single little factor that went into
3449s	making this pick in the state but part
3451s	of it is is that it's far enough out
3452s	that we
3454s	truly believe this will be a very this
3457s	is this is attainable this is something
3458s	we can we can hit this is where we're
3460s	confident in we've we've got many other
3462s	dates that are that are rolling ahead
3464s	and and there's there's a lot of things
3466s	we're putting behind this
3467s	um and so like we're pushing for these
3470s	dates these are
3472s	um
3473s	these are like if things are problematic
3476s	before this day it's like things are
3477s	getting cut instead of the days getting
3479s	pushed type dates you know
3481s	um
3482s	hopefully nothing has to get cut I don't
3484s	see why anything should it's we're quite
3486s	confident in this
3493s	it's about as absolute as you're gonna
3494s	get out of me
3495s	it was pretty it was pretty pretty clear
3497s	but yeah it's it's uh
3501s	it's exciting to have a firm date
3505s	um
3508s	you know a meteor hits the hits the
3510s	Earth and I'm a liar all of a sudden but
3511s	you know like
3513s	barring that
3519s	yeah
3522s	great chance give me those yellows love
3525s	to see them
3530s	I feel like I would enjoy this to just
3531s	turn the color yellow for all the fonts
3534s	doesn't have to be bigger numbers just
3535s	turn the color yellow
3538s	oh you're right here buddy
3541s	I didn't see you there
3546s	come with me
3548s	and you'll see
3552s	absolutely nothing because you'll be in
3554s	the void
3555s	alone and cold
3566s	I guess part of the question is like
3569s	like is it safe to make plans for that
3571s	date I'm making plans for that date you
3574s	know like
3585s	why does this game not have an option to
3587s	pause because there's a weird bug that
3589s	makes it not work it works in the editor
3603s	uh into this post that says if someone
3606s	dies in The monolith while in a group
3607s	the player loses the end rewards does
3609s	this include stability oh good question
3612s	I'm pretty sure it does
3615s	um I'm pretty sure it does if if anyone
3618s	in the team is listening that knows the
3621s	answer to this more firmly please let me
3623s	know and I'll relay it but I'm I'm
3625s	pretty sure it includes two but I think
3626s	it's all the rewards
3629s	uh just to confirm FAQ from Forum
3632s	offline mode is still playing it before
3634s	yeah offline mode still planned
3636s	uh oh and will the community unique uh
3639s	lamento less Refuge come in point nine I
3642s	have a build planned for it for eight
3644s	months I want it so bad yes it's in the
3645s	game already uh is it is it dark quiver
3648s	skill going to be overhauled yeah
3651s	um because it really use it's really
3653s	useless in the State uh is there any
3655s	cold and poison conversion coming in the
3657s	future for exploding era
3659s	um a few questions there overhauled
3661s	that's a strong word I wouldn't go that
3663s	far
3664s	um some changes yeah
3666s	I I can see some changes to it I don't
3668s	know if anything's done yet but um it's
3670s	definitely a skill that I find myself
3672s	having tough time playing with in
3674s	multiplayer and I do try and play with
3675s	it quite a bit
3677s	all right
3679s	useless I think it's a little strong
3681s	though uh any cold and poison conversion
3683s	coming in the future for exploding arrow
3685s	uh unlikely I would say possible maybe
3689s	that's the sort of thing that could be
3690s	on an item
3693s	I'm being told that just the bonus
3695s	stability will be lost pretty sure
3699s	uh sorry you have cold conversion I
3701s	think you meant poisoning okay I thought
3703s	that might be cold there but yes
3704s	um
3708s	more more conversions and things like
3710s	that I items is probably the
3713s	the the the the the better way that'll
3715s	happen
3717s	than in the tree I would assume if it
3719s	happens at all poison is a pretty big
3720s	archetype for
3722s	um
3723s	for rogue and this is this kind of comes
3725s	back to the same thing of like
3726s	are there other abilities that are
3728s	really good for poison and do we want to
3729s	step on them too much with with this you
3731s	know
3732s	Maybe
3735s	enemies a chance to shred armor oh
3737s	increase health that's okay we have
3738s	coloring
3740s	are you not afraid
3742s	uh that you have missed your window with
3745s	multiplayer with D4 coming early next
3748s	year in PVE coming three four months
3750s	later yes I'm Not Afraid uh but I assume
3753s	you're expecting me or hopefully the
3754s	answer no but I yes is the answer to the
3756s	actual question there because I'm a
3758s	dirty programmer and I'm gonna answer
3760s	like a programmer
3765s	all right hi I just joined welcome glad
3769s	to have you here sorry if this was asked
3771s	already it's fine is multiple gonna be
3773s	for playing with friends or is it going
3774s	to be easy to join games with random
3776s	people I love this game thank you for
3778s	making
3779s	thanks for enjoying our game I'm happy
3781s	you're happy with it um as far as
3783s	multiplayer the there's like we want to
3786s	encourage both things
3788s	um
3788s	we know that that some people really
3790s	will only play multiplayer with their
3792s	friends
3793s	um and we have a very updated Friends
3795s	coming up with this it's like gross
3797s	um we have a very updated friends list
3799s	for
3801s	um
3802s	4.9 panels so you can like
3806s	curate your own list of people to play
3807s	with a lot easier and all sort of stuff
3810s	um as far as finding people to play with
3812s	yeah like there's there's lots of
3814s	different ways to do that and it's we
3816s	don't have we don't have a raid finder
3818s	system uh if that's kind of the
3821s	underlying question we don't have a raid
3822s	finder we don't have like a
3824s	um
3824s	just like a window with like all the
3826s	Dungeons and you just like pick like oh
3828s	I want to do temporal sanctum like find
3830s	me a group for temporal sanctum on tier
3832s	three I'm gonna play a tank and and just
3834s	teleport us all there when it's done no
3835s	we're not doing that
3837s	um so if you want to find a group or
3838s	something like that right now this could
3840s	change but right now that system is
3841s	you're either using an external system
3843s	like Discord or something like that not
3846s	great but it's there
3848s	um or you're using um like in-game chat
3851s	you're using the um like Town zones
3854s	where you'll you'll see other people
3855s	there running around uh things like that
3857s	so there's
3862s	not a ton of systems built into the game
3864s	for finding random groups right now
3867s	um
3869s	but I can see that being something we
3870s	look at if it's
3872s	hotly requested
3877s	throwing bye
3880s	I don't think about that doing
3884s	we don't need to because we have this we
3886s	have really Incredibles
3889s	I got there
3896s	I think Crystal yes Crank That enemy
3898s	Health right up let's do it
3900s	had you considered major balance changes
3902s	to most skills since there are a couple
3904s	there's like a couple of metabodes yeah
3906s	I mean
3907s	and kind of discreet the premise again I
3909s	think there's more than a couple
3911s	um but yes there there's
3917s	there's a lot of
3920s	oh my goodness this is
3923s	my poison is like oh yeah I guess I'm
3925s	crazy
3927s	what's it normally
3929s	oh goodness
3930s	oh goodness
3937s	oh I do have teasers
3941s	oh
3943s	oh hey guys we got stuff
3948s	we got oh wow
3951s	look at that
3953s	oh it's gonna it's gonna come this
3955s	window you're gonna see the file names
3957s	oh there's a little sneak peek maybe
3959s	some may have seen what one of the
3960s	foundings was oh no
3966s	uh all righty then
3970s	I'm just gonna take a quick second here
3971s	I'm gonna answer a question while I'm
3972s	doing this what was the question I was
3973s	answering uh major bounce yeah so
3975s	there's
3977s	um there's a lot of little
3981s	there's a ton of little changes coming
3983s	and then
3985s	like some bigger ones here and there so
3989s	um
3990s	like Define major balance changes I
3992s	think it's gonna be pretty major I think
3993s	it's gonna be
3995s	um a lot more I think it's gonna be a
3997s	lot more abilities that are suddenly
3999s	viable
4001s	um while keeping the
4004s	the a lot of the favorites because a lot
4007s	of builds people really enjoy like like
4009s	Spiderman's not going anywhere guys
4010s	don't worry good thing you know like
4012s	keeping keeping the favorites alive is
4014s	is definitely an important part of this
4016s	whole process
4017s	um
4020s	I don't know where is this
4023s	stream images that's the folder I'm
4025s	looking for
4028s	let's just do a little a little delete
4030s	on these oh okay well it's not gonna let
4032s	me delete them that's fine
4035s	let's get another question
4044s	uh will 0.9 fix the on death damage to
4047s	minions uh those exploding camel things
4050s	are absurd
4052s	um I mean there's
4054s	there's still going to be enemies that
4056s	have that ability there's
4058s	um there's better visual indications
4061s	that it's happening
4063s	um
4065s	oops that's not what I want to do
4068s	there's better visual indication that's
4069s	happening I think is the key
4071s	key thinking
4080s	I don't know it's gonna be a problem I
4082s	can't resize it
4091s	okay one second I'm gonna just disappear
4094s	for a second I'll be right back sorry
4095s	I'm still here I'm just gonna
4097s	try and figure this out
4100s	come on
4106s	oh I don't know why I need to do this
4109s	hello oh no what have I done okay we're
4112s	getting one now here we go we're doing
4115s	it live
4118s	foreign
4130s	you've all been very patient though so I
4132s	I feel it's appropriate anyway so yeah
4133s	this is this is um
4136s	Hydra
4138s	pretty cool
4141s	this is one of our uh testing scenes
4143s	that we use uh it's probably showed up
4145s	in a few Clips just different different
4147s	um backgrounds and things so we can get
4149s	nice contrast and see what it looks like
4151s	in different zones and biomes and things
4152s	like that all in one place
4158s	all right
4170s	oh
4177s	okay I'll show that one in full later I
4180s	didn't think it was gonna change it
4181s	right away
4183s	all right
4184s	we're still we're still learning with uh
4186s	with our streaming software apparently
4196s	a little little sneak peek of a sneak
4198s	peek right
4199s	[Laughter]
4203s	all right uh Eternal eclipses unique
4207s	effect grants a large amount of Type X
4209s	melee damage to melee attack that is
4212s	type y that being said you can shred any
4216s	uh can you shed any light on how Eternal
4219s	Eclipse will be affected by the melee
4220s	damage update coming uh curious to know
4223s	how this weapon will be affected thanks
4225s	ESG
4226s	um so I just want to make something
4227s	really clear here something that I've
4228s	tried to make super duper clear
4230s	um and I get questions like this every
4232s	week and so I'm like obviously not
4234s	getting through with this
4236s	um
4237s	the key change to the damage updates for
4241s	uh melee added melee damage
4246s	so this this this this added melee
4248s	physical damage on a weapon will become
4251s	added melee damage on the weapon
4253s	implicits this is really important that
4256s	we're talking about added melee damage
4258s	and bow uh and throwing but there aren't
4260s	any but um on implicits is the key place
4263s	this is changing this stat added melee
4265s	physical damage is not going anywhere
4267s	you can still have the stat like this
4269s	this melee void damage this was this
4271s	stats not changing in Matthew's model I
4273s	think it might get a number tweak but
4274s	like it's still gonna be it's still
4275s	going to be added melee void damage on
4278s	after these mod that's not going
4279s	anywhere
4280s	it's the implicit that's gonna just
4282s	that's gonna lose this word physical
4283s	that's all that's happening
4285s	um
4286s	for the most part there are some select
4288s	weapons where the that where this damage
4290s	type will stay uh for example on the
4293s	void fiend basically all the ones that
4295s	aren't physical are going to keep their
4296s	type and all the ones that most almost
4298s	all the ones that are physical are going
4300s	to lose their type it's generally the
4302s	roughly what's gonna happen there's
4304s	that's not quite true for all of them
4305s	but
4306s	um
4307s	so the the this lets items
4311s	that are so if I'm doing a pure void
4314s	damage build uh I don't have to worry
4316s	about scaling physical damage at all in
4318s	here even though a huge portion of my
4320s	added melee damage is physical so I'm
4323s	not scaling it as efficiently and that's
4324s	split damage type is causing it to to to
4326s	to not be quite as synergistic and just
4329s	just be a little bit like it's not as
4331s	awful as it could be type type feeling
4333s	so um for that and the uniques are an
4336s	entirely different beast in that all of
4338s	their stats on uniques are all very
4340s	curated to what that unique does so
4344s	um I don't actually know if anything's
4345s	changed with this item or not I have to
4346s	go into the files to check but I'm
4348s	pretty sure
4349s	that uh that nothing's changed with that
4352s	ability at all
4353s	it's a short answer
4360s	some values might change but like the
4362s	the core functionality of like uh added
4365s	Type X melee damage to type to attack
4368s	this type y
4369s	nothing changing
4382s	all right is this game already in beta
4384s	or still EA I ain't yes
4388s	you know um the multiplayer beta is not
4390s	out yet
4392s	um but the like define beta Define EA I
4395s	feel like this is yeah looking at the
4396s	same thing pretty well
4398s	um
4399s	uh I play lastly [ __ ] on a laptop ooh
4401s	Brave boy
4403s	uh and there are some skills that seem
4406s	to cause me to lag rubber band rubber
4407s	banding is really strange because
4409s	there's no network connection
4411s	which is what causes rubber banding so
4414s	if you're talking about multiplayer CT
4416s	program carefully you don't break your
4417s	NDA
4419s	careful
4422s	um
4424s	uh is there anything could you make the
4426s	stop my driver's up to I can't really
4428s	help you with support here if you'd like
4428s	support please contact support I believe
4431s	it is just uh support Douglas Deepak
4434s	game.com
4437s	just Google's Lusty [ __ ] support that's
4439s	there
4441s	oh I'm pretty sure exhalation support in
4443s	here or Discord also gets you the same
4445s	thing
4446s	um
4450s	yeah those little support section on the
4452s	Forum too
4457s	there are a lot of um performance
4459s	updates coming in point nine as well as
4461s	stuff that we've talked about uh
4462s	previous Dev updates and this one too as
4464s	well so yeah
4466s	[Music]
4468s	all righty then
4469s	oh don't die Mike
4472s	I mean you thought it'd be cool but try
4473s	not to
4475s	hi hello
4477s	uh will you hide
4480s	an auto recast button on spells
4485s	I maybe add uh in order for everyone to
4488s	play the same games and don't use tricks
4490s	like numblock or macros
4492s	um
4493s	we
4496s	Avalanche no
4498s	uh we don't currently have any plans to
4500s	add a system for auto casting into the
4503s	game
4504s	uh natively
4506s	uh it doesn't mean things won't change
4507s	but currently there are no plans to add
4509s	that
4513s	ow
4515s	why does Avalanche hurt so much
4527s	finally
4528s	my face is soft and supple so don't hurt
4531s	it
4532s	uh you said in private streams you were
4534s	working on cosmetic transactions I was
4535s	like going really great actually
4543s	really great
4550s	uh currently the graphics options don't
4552s	do much
4558s	there's they could do more I think I
4560s	think I think possibly the the
4562s	um
4563s	this is gonna talk about FPS probably
4564s	options don't do much likely with
4566s	regards to frame rate I think it's
4568s	probably the next uh there's a little
4570s	change between very low settings and
4571s	Ultra for train details lights and a few
4574s	others is this intentional something
4575s	that will be later changed oh I was
4577s	wrong
4578s	um
4584s	maybe I don't know
4592s	do we wanna do you want to take this to
4595s	I'm scared to actually Crank It Up
4597s	really I've got to turn down for the
4598s	Stream
4599s	uh
4601s	I'm not gonna do it
4602s	I'm not gonna do it I'm just gonna sorry
4604s	I don't want to mess this up the street
4608s	um I I think there's
4610s	uh there are definite changes coming to
4613s	that that make those changes better
4615s	because we've done a lot of performance
4617s	updates
4618s	um so there were there were settings
4619s	that we wanted to have in like high very
4622s	high Ultra things like that that we
4624s	um that caused too much of a performance
4626s	hit
4628s	um that we that we have
4630s	toned down uh in the current build in
4633s	order to um wait until we had better
4635s	performance stuff as well uh it's pretty
4637s	few and far between there are a couple
4638s	things that fell into that category
4640s	um
4642s	so there will be some changes but not I
4644s	wouldn't say sweeping or drastic
4669s	please don't come to the channel
4671s	advertising stuff
4676s	all right
4680s	hello Aaron how's it going
4683s	did you reply to yourself saying hi to
4685s	yourself
4686s	I think you did
4689s	oh come on
4691s	it's like after being sassy
4696s	no visible lasting consequences that's
4699s	what I get
4711s	come on
4717s	that's what they get
4720s	you're sorry yes but what was your
4722s	reaction in people's reactions to the
4724s	point nine release announcement oh yeah
4726s	that's about right
4732s	uh would it be challenging to make small
4734s	town zones before dungeons that would
4735s	allow people to group
4737s	um
4739s	uh yes Town zones are uh odd Beast
4745s	um but not impossible it's not a bad
4746s	idea either
4750s	uh teaser start when I arrive well you
4754s	missed one already go back and watch it
4758s	and you missed the teaser of the teaser
4760s	because I actually started playing the
4761s	second one too
4767s	to be fair I think those worm things
4770s	would probably make a decent minion
4771s	seven the
4774s	which which worm thing sorry
4780s	oh the hydras yeah
4783s	they are pretty cool and they would make
4786s	good minions too
4792s	come on just thank you
4799s	[Music]
4800s	so will they be a player hydrocele
4803s	coming then
4806s	there's not one planned currently but
4811s	I'm no psychic
4813s	uh my professional streamer Liker that's
4816s	about right
4818s	got those big old Air quotes
4821s	uh seeing how we might have opposite
4824s	gender options for characters in the
4826s	future does that mean that warlock will
4827s	become a witch for female acolytes just
4829s	as warlock for male act like it's just
4831s	curious it's an interesting question and
4833s	I I totally see where you're coming from
4835s	this one
4835s	um probably not
4838s	um mostly because uh it creates a weird
4843s	um it creates a problem with like just
4845s	build guides and and and like
4848s	third-party websites and things like
4849s	that like you have this like
4851s	um every class has one name and then you
4853s	have a witch slash warlock is another
4855s	name and it's like well that doesn't
4856s	make any sense what's going on like two
4857s	classes is it is it one class and it's
4860s	just a level of confusion that we don't
4861s	really want to invite
4862s	um so so unlikely but maybe who knows
4871s	very unlikely
4881s	come on Mike don't die
4884s	I know you want a diet but just just no
4886s	I don't want to I know your character
4887s	wants to try and die in the fire those
4888s	there we go but uh
4891s	steer him see him true
4899s	all right all right curious to see how
4902s	my 4090 does with frames on Max 4K 100.9
4906s	I think it'll be pretty good
4910s	it's it's much less about the video card
4913s	and it's it's the CPU though
4921s	foreign
4932s	hopefully that bottleneck will vanish
4934s	though
4935s	for everybody
4940s	uh any crazier fun builds you guys have
4942s	played in a house that gen the Greater
4944s	Community has totally slept on I no I
4947s	don't think so you guys are really good
4948s	at finding builds
4950s	um
4951s	there's there's like there's lots of
4953s	builds we'll play for fun sometimes and
4955s	and we'll muck about with that just you
4957s	know uh aren't good
4961s	but you you you're all very good at
4964s	finding builds very good at it
4975s	hello Mike hello
4977s	uh
4979s	dick
4980s	disgustator
4982s	uh broken tail I bet it's like backwards
4985s	instead of something
4987s	sounds sounds like a backwards word
4992s	or like several back I don't know could
4993s	be wrong
5000s	those are nice good bases uh have you
5004s	got any four LP drops I have had a four
5006s	Oak drop
5010s	um
5012s	nothing to write home about like I've
5015s	I've Had A Hammer Hammer Florent
5018s	um before I'll be dropped before I've
5020s	had a
5022s	um
5023s	I've had an alchemist Ladle 4lp drop
5025s	before
5026s	um
5027s	you know not
5029s	not
5029s	good items really like the the ones
5033s	where you're like is this good under any
5034s	circumstance even at like endgame it's
5036s	like well not really
5039s	it's good
5046s	get me crazy how's your horizon 97 7900
5050s	X's see now I'm just jealous
5056s	like he tested me
5060s	those attacking players come at me bro
5067s	oh well you just noticed what a great
5069s	build this is
5078s	here we go
5087s	was this was this a build that you were
5088s	popularizing mostly
5093s	monster
5100s	I guess I I guess I have questions for
5102s	people who aren't even if you are in the
5105s	for anyone who um has an idea this when
5108s	when multiplayer comes what builds will
5110s	people be playing what what classes will
5112s	be playing first what's that go to
5116s	uh 0.9 class for people
5138s	but we're gonna have Mana problems in a
5140s	moment
5147s	yep there they are hello Mana problems
5150s	my old friend
5151s	necro need more skellies yeah
5156s	yeah roads bleed Shield Rush flame burst
5159s	Paladin Squad yeah
5162s	that's that that that is
5165s	um flame verse Paladin Squad
5168s	is uh has is not quite what you'll hope
5171s	it to be in 0.9
5174s	um because yes it would have been
5176s	broken overpowered if nothing had
5178s	changed because it it's so
5180s	multiplicative with itself when there's
5181s	multiple people there
5183s	um like like theoretically so
5186s	similar stats so there's there's named
5188s	and unnamed Buffs
5191s	um
5191s	and
5193s	uh named Buffs replace each other when
5196s	they get when when two of them are added
5199s	the new one replace the old one even if
5202s	it's worse as long as it is the same
5203s	name it replaces it
5205s	um
5206s	and uh the the flame burst buff from
5210s	holy Shield actually holy Shield holy
5212s	Aura entirely is a named buff so all the
5215s	stats everything you get from holy Aura
5216s	is um each each stat is individually
5219s	named so you can't have
5222s	um
5223s	five people or four people sorry all
5225s	giving each other that same uh that same
5228s	piece of the buff so you can have
5230s	multiple
5231s	I don't know if this is actually changed
5233s	or not but
5234s	the the way it was initially at least is
5235s	you could have multiple people I think
5237s	we tone this down because it was a
5238s	little too ridiculous even even with
5240s	this restriction
5241s	um you could have multiple people with
5243s	holy Aura
5244s	um and you could get the whole holy Ora
5246s	tree effectively because two people can
5247s	have different holy auras
5249s	I think it still works that way
5251s	um but individual pieces of the Holy
5254s	Aura don't overlap so if two people have
5255s	the like flambers chance
5258s	um only one of those applies
5261s	um whichever the most recently applied
5262s	one is
5263s	um
5264s	and they get reapplied every quarter of
5266s	a second or something so
5268s	it technically flips the chance if one
5270s	person has ten percent one percent 100
5271s	it would flip between 10 and 100 every
5273s	quarter second
5275s	that's assuming they're exactly equally
5277s	spaced which they wouldn't be
5288s	assuming same balances now you'll be
5289s	playing this first oh nice
5292s	don't worry flame respondent is still
5294s	quite strong like the it's still very
5296s	good it's just not
5299s	oh my God WTF broken
5302s	crazy ridiculous Bonkers which is
5304s	without changes what it would have been
5310s	prescription Echo Golem answer with your
5311s	armor
5312s	[Music]
5314s	good stuff
5317s	uh still fine if he's yourself yeah yeah
5319s	like it's it's still environments it's
5321s	basically unchanged
5325s	so it's it's not it's not like
5328s	we're not like nerfing into the ground
5330s	or something to make it not bad not not
5332s	overpowered in multiplayer but it's um
5334s	it doesn't stack the way you'd hope it's
5336s	a stack in multiplayer that's all I'm
5338s	saying
5339s	um
5340s	yeah
5344s	2.9 you'll wake up a sentinel
5348s	I didn't have said no I go to stream so
5351s	I go to sleep I said no I only play
5353s	Sentinel so I'll be playing Sentinel
5356s	let's see I was hoping that would end
5357s	with like someone playing a rogue
5365s	you're literally dead right now that
5367s	seems unlikely
5370s	but if not cool how are you
5372s	communicating with us
5378s	you can play only storm trying to give a
5379s	challenge
5382s	but what if what if what if we buff it
5384s	it's awesome then
5389s	not much of a challenge then ah
5406s	I just need to be void cleaning a little
5407s	more that's a big big mistake what I'm
5409s	doing
5409s	I'm just like in answering questions
5412s	lazy mode spin spin spin spins I should
5414s	be voice more
5422s	there's a bug there's there's one bug
5424s	right now a multiplayer that just oh it
5426s	wrecks me
5428s	um it'll it'll be fixed don't worry like
5430s	that it's there's a fix in the fight for
5432s	it I'm pretty sure it's not not a
5434s	problem but uh it may actually already
5436s	be fixed I don't know there was um
5438s	when you use lunge if you didn't have a
5440s	Target even so you're walking and you
5441s	use lunges at a Target like this
5444s	um and it would it does the animation
5447s	for lunge and locks you in place
5450s	so you can't just like blindly lunge
5452s	until like a Target happens then like
5454s	jump half across the screen to that
5455s	Target you have to like wait till you're
5457s	sure there's a Target or else you're
5458s	just wasting so much time standing still
5460s	every few seconds
5462s	and oh is it brutal
5467s	but I should be nicely fixed before
5470s	monster goes live
5481s	when Curry patriarch
5486s	hmm
5488s	nothing Avalanche needs huh
5491s	can we see that other teaser hi me
5499s	next next natural break we get
5506s	I think I need more bonus to build I'm
5508s	just gonna clear this whole place
5511s	I'm just kidding
5516s	easy buff you cannot make two
5519s	tornado rework when tornado yeah today
5522s	needs a little love I'd say
5525s	it's cool but it's not good
5527s	you know
5529s	there's a couple builds that were really
5531s	cool where it's like the the ones where
5532s	it like attaches to you there's been
5534s	some broken tornado builds in the past
5535s	where it like attaches to you it's like
5538s	Zephyr like um Janna's Zephyr from law
5541s	and just like you just go so fast
5546s	and everything just gets vacuumed into
5547s	you as you walk and it was it was it was
5550s	a few nutty builds with it for a while
5551s	there
5552s	a little over the top
5556s	really like our weapon I think I'm gonna
5557s	bother taking any of these
5562s	oh I said I said I'm doing teaser didn't
5563s	I
5571s	okay here we go
5575s	this is uh uh the companion study fight
5581s	some updates to it
5587s	watch my tiny little window
5591s	drink lots of water boys and girls
5598s	just little just little tease
5601s	it's just a little just a little tease
5602s	of it
5605s	what's going on here
5612s	you haven't seen any chat frames yet the
5614s	the dialogue updates yeah my goodness
5616s	they're phenomenal
5626s	what is the video pause
5631s	I didn't mean to do that
5639s	okay just just just
5642s	what's what's going on
5648s	I don't know what I've done
5651s	bouncing all over the place
5662s	well I hope it played once it does the
5664s	video file I have does show it but it's
5666s	not
5670s	teasing the teaser I apologize let's
5673s	let's try I feel like I didn't actually
5674s	play it did not play once hmm
5679s	let's add a new source
5684s	foreign
5686s	from scratch from the top once more with
5690s	feeling
5695s	transform
5697s	so it fits a screen
5730s	I'm I'm just
5738s	started it says like we'll restart when
5740s	active there we go okay
5746s	goes through it starts to fight
5749s	it's not a full fight it's just the
5750s	intro
5751s	I guess let's install clip
5755s	here we go
5766s	let's get back into the action you know
5771s	cow
5776s	you want to see any unique I don't have
5779s	any unique for you
5783s	I love love this set piece every time I
5787s	see it I'm just
5789s	um
5797s	oh that's the over under me surviving
5799s	this one
5805s	really not good I just went for it you
5809s	know I think I think we should do
5810s	dungeon let's do a dungeon
5812s	did an arena in a while actually
5817s	it's gonna Arena
5829s	who's feeling an arena
5831s	I'm feeling an arena
5840s	oh
5843s	I'm just doing and this one's so scaled
5844s	right
5847s	I could rip through a couple
5850s	I do like the limited ones they're
5851s	really nice
5857s	let's see if I can get through a couple
5858s	of them
5861s	I need to I still need to just make a
5863s	button
5864s	in our Dev tools it's just like
5866s	and gamify a character so I can play
5868s	in-game nicely on stream
5881s	can't you win
5885s	till the night fits from you let's go
5889s	come on
5899s	hey Mike it's 100 offline mode coming in
5901s	patch point nine uh I don't know I think
5904s	so
5909s	stand down it's possible that it might
5912s	not
5913s	I think it might be listed as 1.0
5914s	feature
5931s	you need a unique for all the teasing of
5933s	that teaser I'm sorry
5936s	I don't have anything you need to share
5938s	with you
5940s	we can come up with them right now let's
5942s	go let's go up with one let's I'll uh
5943s	I'll do what I can to get it in
5949s	uh all right let's go
5954s	it's pointing strictly a multiplayer
5956s	release or can we expect some new
5957s	content a long way instead it's not a
5958s	strictly multiple release at all
5961s	um all the stuff I've teased throughout
5963s	the last year on the stream
5965s	um like there's there's a huge post
5968s	um
5970s	which has all the things that are
5971s	confirmed thus far throughout the year
5975s	um 4.9 in it and or links to posts that
5978s	have those things in it so there's like
5980s	there's a whole bunch of links at the
5981s	bottom of the post that came out today
5982s	that have that are that are to all the
5984s	other places like there's all the stuff
5986s	that's compiled in the stream from
5987s	Andrew Tilly's form thread
5989s	um there's a few other Dev blogs
5990s	throughout the year that we that we
5993s	um noted content for there's
5996s	um other stuff that's not in any of
5997s	those posts yet still to come that we
5999s	haven't announced yet as well like it's
6001s	um
6005s	yeah it's not strictly a multiple player
6007s	release we've like ever like not
6009s	everyone on the team is
6012s	um working on multiplayer updates So
6014s	like
6015s	um
6016s	the uh
6018s	sound sound engineer sound designers are
6022s	um like there's certain certain feature
6024s	requirements for multiplayer that are
6025s	needed so like
6027s	um when a party invite comes in the
6029s	sound effect that plays like that's a
6031s	multiple requirement for the sound
6032s	Engineers but
6033s	um the vast majority of the
6037s	um the work they've been doing over the
6038s	over this last year is is completely
6040s	unrelated to multiplier but it's it's
6042s	very related to just the game as a whole
6046s	um so you know like there's there's a
6047s	lot of people who
6049s	um have roles that certain elements of
6051s	what they do gets uh gets used in
6053s	certain parts of multiplayer
6055s	um but most of it's not multiplayer
6057s	specific it's just gameplay
6059s	um and they nobody stopped working over
6062s	the year uh so all the stuff that
6064s	they've been doing uh in those
6066s	respective fields are all relevant and
6067s	still going to be in the game and
6068s	everything
6077s	your chance
6079s	yeah it's like a Year's worth of sound
6082s	updates here's what the bfx updates a
6084s	Year's worth of Animation updates you
6086s	know it's all those things that are that
6088s	are just making the game so much so much
6089s	smoother and uh just feels so much more
6092s	polished and all these sorts of things
6103s	how large is the team I don't know the
6105s	exact number actually
6107s	um
6110s	it's getting pretty big now
6113s	still nowhere near the size of
6115s	a lot a lot of other videos out there
6118s	but as far as remote teams go
6121s	um
6123s	with without uh like without a publisher
6126s	yeah pretty pretty big so far
6142s	sent out or die
6145s	have we said 80 plus okay cool Jordan
6148s	September said that that's that's a good
6150s	person to quote on things like that
6151s	[Laughter]
6158s	it's also such a such a weird question
6160s	because like
6162s	and then I say this every time this gets
6163s	asked and I I still stand by it and
6165s	everything it's like
6168s	do do you count
6170s	um and there's there's like like where
6172s	where do you draw the line because it's
6173s	a weird question
6175s	um is a
6179s	um is is a like
6182s	this one's obviously yes but it's a
6185s	producer part of that yes obviously is
6188s	um
6189s	uh like uh uh a community matter part of
6192s	that definitely is
6194s	um
6195s	is an accountant part of that
6198s	maybe is a
6202s	um
6204s	uh like it's a lawyer part of that
6206s	because every company needs lawyers
6207s	things like that probably not
6210s	um I I I know that number is probably
6212s	not counting people like uh that are
6215s	like
6216s	um
6217s	contractors like like floors things like
6220s	that because we don't have a
6221s	permanent house lawyer or whatever you
6223s	call it a
6224s	staff lawyer
6226s	um but you know what I mean like there's
6227s	there's some roles that are
6230s	um
6232s	like General business roles
6235s	um and there's some roles that are like
6236s	contracts and things like that and
6238s	there's like artists that are contracted
6240s	as well do you count those yeah I would
6242s	count those
6243s	um
6244s	so it's like you can't go on just like
6246s	is it a contract position or not you
6247s	know there's there's all sorts of weird
6250s	does this count Maybe
6252s	most the time yes
6262s	yeah accountants are part of that I mean
6265s	if it's if it's someone who's on staff
6266s	yeah if it's if it's someone that gets
6269s	hired once a year to do taxes and it
6272s	changes every year because probably not
6274s	I'd say but like you know it's
6276s	I think it's a valid question
6284s	all right image goal damage not for us
6288s	the engines
6293s	only damage not for us
6300s	talked with Nate a few months ago or a
6301s	few days ago said multi is coming in
6303s	March in the ninth is that correct yes
6305s	that is correct March 9th multiplayer
6308s	will be available for anyone who owns
6311s	last Epoch to play it
6315s	super mega awesome
6318s	in-house Council thank you agros mini
6321s	that is exactly the term I was looking
6323s	for
6328s	we do not have an in-house counsel
6331s	which I think it's a good sign
6337s	means we're not getting sued every day
6348s	in the UK we have legislation around
6350s	that ir-35 mostly affects whether
6353s	they're taxed as employees or
6354s	contractors it has all sorts of crazy
6356s	rules about that all over the world and
6358s	gets so complicated with an
6359s	international team
6361s	and then you get like tax fees I have
6363s	read cover to cover the most boring
6366s	thing I've ever read
6368s	is the Canada U.S tax treaty oh my
6372s	goodness it is boring
6380s	I can summarize it in like one sentence
6387s	just pay one of us we don't care we'll
6389s	sort it out later
6399s	it's not quite true don't take that as a
6401s	tax advice
6402s	but that's what it feels like
6413s	oh I want to get to uh well I guess the
6415s	high level ones because we're over 86.
6417s	we can we can handle a little bit higher
6419s	I think yeah
6421s	got to protect your intellectual
6423s	property
6433s	nobody cares about lawyers I don't think
6436s	that's true
6445s	you had to read through some accounting
6446s	legislation rules because I gougingly
6449s	boring yeah it's bad
6451s	hmm
6454s	contract language is just so dry
6459s	you know like I get that it needs to be
6461s	clear so you get like really specific
6463s	and it's it's it's like it's interesting
6466s	and you find a little interesting the
6468s	whole language aspect of it because
6470s	um there's kind of a social contract an
6472s	implied social contract that we have
6474s	together like all of you and and and
6477s	a lot of entire games has when we come
6480s	on stream like this is that I'm gonna be
6483s	honest and open and truthful and all
6485s	sorts of things and
6487s	um
6487s	quite often I take issue with the
6490s	language in the question and will
6492s	um
6494s	try and specify that so it's clear and
6496s	so there's not misunderstandings later
6497s	so I get why you know contracts need
6500s	this boring drive very specific overly
6503s	precise language so there's no way you
6505s	can like oh this is ambiguous
6512s	but oh is it painful
6517s	bye bye
6519s	welcome back
6529s	oh I feel like we got through most of
6532s	the questions everyone had at the start
6533s	of the stream a lot a lot of the same
6535s	questions everyone had
6536s	I just kind of just kind of cruised into
6538s	the end here nice relaxing a little Spin
6540s	to Win Arena having some fun
6542s	taking it Taking a chill time
6545s	getting a few exalteds
6558s	I made a couple other little tweaks to
6560s	stream I'm wondering if anyone notices
6561s	significantly worse or better visual
6564s	quality still
6569s	is a full Ward build where you
6571s	completely or mostly ignore life viable
6574s	in game absolutely there's several items
6576s	that support builds like that directly
6578s	there's even several skills that support
6580s	that type of build directly
6582s	um acolyte's probably the primary class
6585s	that does things like that but even
6586s	people like
6588s	um primalists that don't generally do
6590s	things like that have build Focus that
6591s	work that way
6593s	um the most prominent item that you'll
6595s	be looking for is
6597s	um sanguinous and then last steps to the
6600s	living
6601s	uh boots and chest uh
6603s	opposite respectively
6606s	um
6608s	and uh what they do is they'll drain a
6611s	percentage of your
6614s	um current health
6617s	per second
6619s	and then they will so you'll you'll end
6622s	up equalizing
6624s	or yeah I can't read what it is how it's
6626s	worded exactly but you'll end up
6627s	equalizing somewhere at low life
6630s	um and then they give you ward per
6633s	second based on your missing health
6636s	so you you have like you'll see people
6638s	sitting at like
6640s	100 Health but thousands of Ward
6643s	um
6646s	again it definitely work some that are
6648s	very good
6656s	frostbite shackles can make it viable
6658s	via cold red stacking yeah
6662s	the boots boots you're looking for
6664s	Unique boots you can get them via
6667s	um
6668s	you can upgrade boots in the
6673s	we'll show you after this beautiful ways
6676s	to get it I think oh is it is it is it a
6679s	boss drop
6685s	is it a boss drop
6689s	can can I can I get it by upping rares
6692s	in the in the forging is that is that
6694s	doable someone let me know it is okay I
6696s	thought so
6699s	this guy's gonna try and roll it and see
6700s	if I just get one
6704s	but then you know you get that sneaking
6706s	suspicion where you're like
6707s	[Music]
6708s	I think it's a boss drop isn't it
6715s	all right let's go for
6718s	unique items
6724s	less absoluting yeah
6729s	am I wrong
6732s	also wouldn't be surprised
6736s	oh you do have them also
6738s	nice yeah
6742s	there you go
6744s	and then uh skill acolyte has an ability
6746s	Called Death seal I believe it's
6748s	actually on Lich
6751s	um
6752s	which will lock your health at low life
6755s	so you can like when you use it it'll
6758s	actually snap you to low life and and
6760s	lock you there so you can't go above it
6761s	they'll put a Max cap on your life total
6764s	um
6765s	and so you can like force your life down
6767s	low really quickly so your your ward
6768s	generation starts immediately you don't
6770s	have to worry about
6772s	um like letting it build up slowly
6777s	um
6780s	ah blood Frost and death three of them
6782s	but you already have them so and then um
6785s	defeat champion
6787s	by on the Arsenal
6790s	come at me bro
6794s	who's the better Sentinel I believe it
6796s	is me
6801s	awesome cool some very cool stuff was
6804s	coming I'm sure we'll have uh more
6806s	detail about this later but a little
6807s	tease here at the end of the stream
6809s	um some very cool camera
6811s	uh camera work
6814s	um and don't worry for everyone that
6815s	hates camera movement option to turn it
6818s	off
6819s	um but it looks gorgeous some fantastic
6821s	camera camera updates
6824s	tricks and and neat things that uh that
6827s	really help skills just feel way better
6831s	come down the pipe
6834s	I'm sure there'll be a a teaser and
6836s	update about that eventually but it's uh
6838s	early design stages of it it's just it
6841s	like immediately as soon as as soon as I
6843s	saw it I was like yup that's going in
6853s	potential Channel yeah that's nice
6854s	Jordan's threshold poison damage is just
6857s	so poopy garbage
6859s	what's my what's mine like here avoid
6861s	strength because there's endurance void
6863s	Reds yeah
6866s	maybe I'll like make something cool out
6868s	of this
6869s	can we try and strip this off let's
6871s	let's start by just seeing if we get a
6873s	random like bye bye
6875s	uh removal or is it random affix
6882s	um
6886s	we're just like ruining the forging
6888s	potential while we do this we just lost
6889s	everything good
6892s	well never mind
6900s	I I clearly didn't say shake
6904s	clearly didn't say shake
6907s	camera movement
6915s	was super easy
6925s	it looks gorgeous very subtle
6931s	there was uh we it was it was being
6933s	shown off and
6935s	um
6936s	there were a few people were like is it
6938s	on like is this is this the before clip
6940s	I can't really tell that much
6942s	um and then someone turned it off and
6944s	they're like oh yeah that does look way
6946s	better I think you're just like yeah you
6948s	like you can't really tell when it's
6950s	happening but you're like as soon as it
6951s	goes away
6953s	you miss it
6955s	it's a good sign very good sign but yes
6957s	we know that that's a sensitive topic
6961s	for a lot of people and and don't worry
6962s	camera
6964s	controls and motion sickness and all
6966s	that sort of stuff you know got to make
6967s	sure that that's that's possible to be
6969s	turned off
6971s	and like I do have screen Shake on right
6973s	now so I'm sorry if it bothers anyone
6974s	but it's pretty subtle
6981s	Bloom yeah Bloom Bloom's another one
6982s	that people uh
6984s	quite often don't like that much
6986s	Bloom can just gets so excessive you
6988s	know there's like there's there's
6989s	certain times where you're like
6992s	uh we don't need was it Star Trek Into
6994s	Darkness is that the one that where it
6995s	was just like Starburst Starburst
6997s	Starburst Starbursts everywhere
7000s	did enjoy the movie quite a bit but the
7001s	the effects going on there were a little
7004s	much and some I think it was Into
7005s	Darkness
7011s	I really like how the TV series is now
7013s	kind of like tying into that a little
7015s	bit that's it's working
7021s	spoiler alert if you haven't seen any of
7022s	that
7029s	more lens there's yeah those lens slurs
7031s	you're right sorry
7039s	similar similar
7042s	what exactly is bloom or a Angie I was
7045s	saying oh my goodness that is a that is
7047s	a humongous humongous question
7051s	um
7052s	I'm not a graphics engineer or anything
7055s	like that so I'm you know or a technical
7057s	artist I'm gonna get this so wrong but
7060s	in like
7062s	what's it layman's terms Bloom is
7065s	basically if you have like a light
7067s	source like let's say let's say this
7068s	person was like holding the light source
7069s	here in their hand
7072s	Bloom is a post-processing effect so
7074s	something that like happens
7076s	that would like give it sort of like a
7079s	glow
7081s	around it so it's like
7083s	um so like the light feels more like a
7085s	light source there but it's not actually
7086s	it doesn't cause proper Shadows to exist
7088s	anything like that generally but it's
7090s	like it it helps make light sources feel
7093s	a lot more real usual usually
7095s	or more natural
7098s	um
7101s	anti-aliasing
7105s	is when you have
7107s	an A texture or an image or a model or
7110s	something like that
7112s	um
7116s	and and it's it's low enough resolution
7118s	basically you you can you can see the
7120s	edge in pixels and it's you get this
7123s	Jagged look
7126s	um it tries to take this and smooth it
7129s	out
7130s	basically what it's doing it's it's
7132s	trying to it's trying to take it's
7134s	trying to make this look like it's a
7137s	straight flat line and it's not jagged
7151s	Bloom is lens flare with gaussian blur
7153s	applied yeah kinda
7159s	oh I'm I took time to do that now we're
7161s	lying behind this is 40 ways we'll go a
7163s	little bit over today but that's okay
7168s	foreign
7171s	questions I think we think we got
7173s	through most of them today I hope I did
7175s	hope it did an okay job answer them for
7177s	you today
7178s	which one has any last minute ones I'd
7179s	be happy to answer them before we before
7181s	we head out for the day
7188s	I also might just die
7190s	that's that's that's quite possible
7210s	uh can you share your plans or thoughts
7212s	on how to keep items relevant moving
7214s	forward yeah so uh that's that's a doozy
7218s	to end on yeah
7220s	lizard
7221s	fantastic that is I'll get you in a sec
7225s	don't worry
7228s	I love it
7230s	um the key sharing plans or thoughts on
7233s	how to keep setting as well moving
7234s	forward
7235s	um
7237s	I I think there's generally Buffs need
7239s	to happen I think there's
7241s	um there's no method by which set items
7244s	are brought into the end game equation
7247s	that are not already in game intended
7250s	set items so we have
7252s	you need guns like snow blind is no it's
7255s	a terrible example it's not even good
7256s	not that good but it's
7259s	fine example let's let's say it's an
7261s	example it's a low-level unique item
7262s	that is not great on its own
7266s	it's fine it's not gonna be great you're
7268s	not gonna be winning any like tier lists
7271s	with it
7272s	um
7273s	but there might be a niche mechanic in
7275s	there that you want to utilize and the
7277s	stats don't quite hold up in the game so
7279s	we do have the legendary system that
7280s	lets us bring unique items
7283s	um into end game that are not in-game
7285s	viable and because the legendary
7286s	potential scales with their base end
7289s	game Power
7291s	um which is generally
7293s	um relative to their level they
7297s	what's going on
7302s	nope there's someone over there
7304s	um
7309s	uh it it helps us just make unique items
7311s	in-game viable right even even ones that
7313s	aren't very good but there's nothing
7314s	that does that with set items and no we
7317s	can't just apply
7319s	um
7321s	legendary system two sets it doesn't it
7323s	doesn't work
7324s	um
7325s	so I think there needs to be some other
7327s	system along a similar vein to how
7331s	legendary items function in that it is a
7334s	uh a reward for an end game action that
7336s	lets you bring set items closer to an
7339s	in-game viable system that are not
7340s	initially in-game viable
7343s	um
7345s	and I don't know what that looks like
7347s	right now
7348s	we don't we don't have set plans for
7349s	that but um
7352s	hopefully we'll be able to
7354s	I'll figure that one out because set
7356s	items are it's it's a really
7359s	um
7360s	it's a key part of of this type of game
7363s	and
7365s	um missing out on them as an end game
7367s	item is
7369s	um
7370s	like I I think it's it's it's not great
7374s	and
7376s	um I think we'll start to see an influx
7378s	in set item popularity as we get to 1.0
7381s	and also uh creation rates as we get
7384s	12.0 because
7385s	we we definitely slowed down on set item
7388s	creation once we once uh legendaries
7391s	came out because we knew there was a a
7393s	power disparity there we weren't sure
7394s	how best to to make that up yet and so
7397s	we're kind of just like we've kind of
7398s	Pumped the break on set items
7400s	um but I'm I'm sure I'll make a comeback
7405s	where are we come on
7410s	they're just in the middle
7413s	of course let's go to the middle Mike
7414s	what are you doing you know that
7429s	blizzard
7431s	to answer your question
7433s	March 9th 2023
7436s	and I am thrilled to be able to answer
7438s	that question
7441s	precisely and confidently
7450s	let us merge sets yellow oh gosh
7453s	[Laughter]
7455s	look at what what's so this is not the
7457s	first time I've heard exact uh
7458s	suggestions like this what do you mean
7460s	by that like like take take two pieces
7463s	from different sets and equip them
7465s	simultaneously
7467s	um and have them count towards the set
7468s	bonuses or something like that
7470s	um or do you mean like
7473s	um
7475s	like add an item from one set to another
7478s	set so it's just the the target set or
7481s	like
7482s	literally just like combine two set
7484s	items together so it's one item counts
7486s	towards two different sets
7490s	and has the stats of both items
7492s	because that's terrifying that one
7493s	happened part of the problem is is like
7495s	it's it can't it can't Spike the length
7498s	of this of the item text
7500s	when that process happens
7504s	so it's like one of the options we have
7507s	we have increase the power of individual
7510s	efforts that already there replace
7511s	affixes with different affixes
7514s	um there's a couple good examples I've
7516s	heard of of things that are promising
7517s	for sure but um
7521s	it's it's kind of got to go in the
7522s	replace or buff affixes that are already
7524s	there category
7528s	adding more is not going to work
7533s	let's set it up let's go for it
7540s	let's say people had fun making them
7541s	something basically with like yeah uh
7543s	Boardman Boardman is the only person
7544s	that um has made a set a set for himself
7547s	and
7549s	um
7551s	yeah there's it's it's a really
7553s	unfortunate situation because it did
7555s	um
7556s	it happened just before legendary system
7558s	got implemented
7559s	um
7561s	and uh shamans also are kind of
7564s	struggling right now it's very Shaman
7565s	Ford Said So like
7567s	um
7568s	shamans and sets kind of got both gotta
7570s	get generally buffed and then I'm sure
7571s	it'll it'll it'll come back into
7574s	being an awesome set
7577s	but we've just we've just gotta tighten
7579s	up our overall balance a little bit
7580s	before before that one really shines
7582s	again
7583s	but I think it will
7592s	Boardman was uh or has been a very big
7595s	uh supporter for lassi pop for a very
7598s	long time
7604s	foreign
7609s	guide videos they'll probably find
7612s	something from them
7615s	my suggestion was pure chaos and evil at
7617s	first had like two item sets
7623s	maybe let's upgrade the base DT cell yep
7625s	that's that's that's definitely a good
7626s	option I think
7628s	oh yeah of course Arena
7631s	the Rogue oh my gosh
7634s	um
7635s	oh I'm no aim to this okay do we do we
7638s	go full try hard and pray and work our
7642s	butts off or do we just accept that Our
7645s	Fate is sealed
7649s	oh
7652s	I'm I'm so not gonna do this
7665s	foreign
7666s	the Rogue has a decoy that it can throw
7668s	out
7670s	and it if you kill the decoy before it
7674s	expires it will drop a whole bunch of
7679s	um
7681s	crafting materials
7683s	there we just we just dropped one we
7684s	just killed one incidentally
7687s	um
7688s	thus even though the the player
7691s	character is not
7694s	um forced to attack it it is
7697s	incentivizing the player to attack it
7698s	thus doing the primary function of decoy
7702s	as drying aggro
7705s	um so the Rogue even an NPC Rogue is
7708s	still able to use decoy to draw aggro
7711s	from the player
7716s	one of my favorite mechanics boss
7717s	mechanics that we've ever had
7719s	because it's
7721s	so simple so subtle
7724s	um
7726s	and just makes it play the way you're
7729s	playing it because it's like it's a
7730s	player ability that's transitioned to an
7732s	enemy ability and that usually doesn't
7733s	work and I just I think it's I can't
7735s	remember who came up with that whoever
7737s	it was your brilliance
7745s	I don't want to throw it in so they'll
7746s	probably be wrong
7756s	all right great
7760s	news
7762s	we succeeded
7764s	all right I had a great stream a little
7767s	chill down on the end there a little a
7769s	little ease up but uh it felt really
7771s	good
7774s	um I am a great time and and anyone
7777s	who's got like hard hidden questions for
7780s	me
7781s	whoops wrong screen it's okay though
7783s	totally appreciate them
7788s	about the same thing open on both
7790s	screens so it's like which one do I
7792s	click on got it though
7794s	glad to have everyone here and uh
7798s	I had a ton of fun I hope you had fun I
7801s	know I did and we'll see you again next
7803s	time
7805s	I'm uh if if I didn't answer your
7808s	question or if you are just getting here
7811s	um we are
7814s	constantly doing
7817s	uh answer questions on a Discord forums
7820s	Reddit all sorts of places lots of
7821s	helpful community members doing the same
7822s	thing I'll be here same time same place
7824s	next week
7826s	um there will be a gap I'm just gonna
7828s	keep saying this at the end there will
7829s	be a gap over
7831s	um the the holidays into New Year a
7833s	little bit
7834s	um I'm not sure exactly which streams
7835s	will be canceled yet but there will be
7837s	at least two that won't happen right
7840s	around uh Christmas New Year's timing
7843s	um
7847s	that'll make sure to be more clear on
7848s	which ones those are
7855s	be on a journey I shall take you to a
7857s	magical land
7859s	before we go say hi to heavy
7863s	see you later buddy
