| 23s | with this character |

| 67s | right back to here |
| 72s | yeah I I changed shirts |
| 78s | where's where's my empowered what's |
| 80s | going on what did I do wrong |
| 85s | I thought I enabled it |
| 87s | I did muck about with this character |
| 88s | this is a good chance |
| 90s | that I caused problems |
| 96s | hmm |
| 98s | well we need empowered on this character |
| 100s | because it's too good |
| 102s | so we have a couple options I can switch |
| 103s | to another character that does have a |
| 105s | power I can go do other fun stuff |
| 110s | uh let's let's hop in here and see what |
| 112s | we've got |
| 117s | welcome everybody a bit of a scramble |
| 119s | start today but we're gonna we're gonna |
| 120s | do just fine for anyone who is here it's |
| 122s | your first time as always be shooting |
| 124s | for charity and our charity this month |

| 135s | um |
| 138s | kill and um |
| 141s | yeah |
| 143s | if you have any questions please feel |
| 145s | free to ask them but in that last Epoch |
| 147s | game in front of them I'll get to it as |
| 148s | soon as possible |
| 149s | start off here |
| 152s | that cognito |
| 154s | are there going to be more combat visual |
| 156s | improvements AKA combat feel than what |
| 158s | we've so |
| 161s | uh well I think what we've seen in |
| 163s | multiplayer last stream |
| 166s | um |
| 169s | yeah we're gonna try the full one I |
| 170s | don't think we're gonna be able to do a |
| 171s | point and try it |
| 173s | uh how are cold attacks and death |
| 175s | animation is gonna look can you show or |
| 177s | at least try to describe uh because now |
| 180s | they really look don't look good no |
| 182s | offense I really love this game and |
| 184s | we're planning a weak update model next |
| 185s | patch |
| 188s | um there's a lot of stuff happening |
| 189s | there's a lot of stuff in that question |
| 190s | too |
| 191s | um most of the so the version that we |
| 194s | saw on streams were is basically what it |
| 199s | is |
| 200s | what the like close to most up-to-date |
| 203s | version is like it's a little bit behind |
| 205s | but not much |
| 208s | um |
| 208s | so there's always updates and changes |
| 211s | happening |
| 212s | and uh so it's like |
| 215s | unless it's the instant even even every |
| 218s | single time build gets made it's out of |
| 219s | date because there's always stuff that's |
| 220s | in the pipe still |
| 222s | um |
| 224s | so there's a little bit more but that's |
| 225s | it's pretty up to date |
| 227s | it's pretty up-to-date |
| 229s | um |
| 235s | I don't have |
| 237s | just take knowledge of exactly how cold |
| 240s | skills are being handled specifically so |
| 241s | I can't really tell you anything there |
| 244s | um |
| 245s | as for was the other part of that |
| 247s | question monolith |
| 250s | well okay death animations look great |
| 254s | they're |
| 255s | I don't know how to just it's so broad |
| 257s | on how to describe it sorry they're |
| 259s | awesome they're they look realistic |
| 261s | there's a mix of fixed animations and |
| 263s | ragdoll depending on the situation it's |
| 266s | in |
| 268s | um |
| 271s | yeah |
| 273s | there's no major updates to the monolith |
| 276s | plan next patch no uh |
| 280s | still very much a work in progress but |
| 282s | um yeah nothing major is playing for I |
| 284s | don't think |
| 286s | on the topic on that empowered let's go |
| 288s | to the next question on the Empower |
| 289s | topic any chance to make it a bit more |
| 291s | intuitive I definitely missed that the |
| 293s | first time |
| 294s | um model of player of the first |
| 295s | playthrough yeah like there is a quest |
| 298s | um a quest Beacon for it but yeah I've |
| 300s | definitely seen a few people miss that |
| 302s | so I mean it's possible good thing |
| 303s | they'll put a suggestion on like a |
| 305s | feedback thread |
| 310s | uh what are we doing here come on |
| 312s | let me through |
| 313s | let me through |
| 320s | oh |
| 324s | the reason there's a problem with with |
| 326s | mine on this character right now is |
| 328s | um so I set up a lot of things with |
| 330s | devtools to try and make streams more |
| 332s | varied and run smoother uh because I |
| 334s | don't have a ton of time to set these |
| 335s | characters up and um |
| 338s | Joe's ironic it's like the third time I |
| 340s | played this one |
| 341s | um but I think when I first set it up I |
| 343s | made a mistake |
| 358s | did we try and we try and use this |
| 360s | little uh |
| 362s | of those tools as possible and we're |
| 364s | actually properly testing things because |
| 365s | it's |
| 366s | it's it doesn't generate a real |
| 369s | environment |
| 378s | sometimes I've helped Rhymer yes you |
| 380s | wanna make me another build huh |
| 385s | usually Rhymer does it for me |
| 393s | how's the audio balance for you guys |
| 395s | the music theme seems a little loud to |
| 396s | me but I don't know |
| 410s | I mean I don't have fresh 70 80s for |
| 412s | each Friday QA session yeah |
| 415s | I am |
| 418s | I feel like most of you prefer that I |
| 420s | just work on the game instead of |
| 422s | building those for real |
| 429s | I actually I should I should take a poll |
| 431s | as like what people want to see next if |
| 433s | there's any characters people are |
| 434s | itching to to see how it plays get get |
| 437s | talking points on that sort of stuff |
| 439s | but haven't I played mushroom lately I |
| 441s | haven't played much I feel like I |
| 442s | haven't played much Sentinel or not |
| 444s | Sentinel um playing cell right now I |
| 446s | feel like I don't play much primeless |
| 447s | lately |
| 450s | should get on that |
| 452s | I've been playing a ton of Rogue online |
| 455s | really really enjoying that |
| 460s | blasting agent build is so much fun I |
| 464s | don't know what it is I like about it |
| 465s | but I'm just really enjoying it |
| 469s | we're coming next patch I don't know do |
| 470s | not need to be precise low I can't |
| 472s | because I don't know and one more thing |
| 473s | there is a regular effect on certain |
| 476s | enemies that they still Shake on the |
| 478s | floor near dead are you planning to |
| 480s | change that I mean it uh so I know it's |
| 483s | a kind of a |
| 485s | thing people enjoy when there's mistakes |
| 487s | like that especially ones that get left |
| 489s | in the game for a long time and then |
| 490s | they become sort of like a |
| 492s | a a good bad thing I don't know how to |
| 495s | describe it well it's we're trying to |
| 496s | get rid of that so that it is a |
| 498s | consistent experience and doesn't have |
| 500s | obvious bugs on that |
| 503s | um |
| 504s | so hopefully that'll be completely gone |
| 507s | um |
| 508s | coming up here |
| 511s | as far as number of uniques like I I |
| 514s | they get added late in the cycle uniques |
| 517s | are one of the last things to get added |
| 519s | um |
| 520s | so I can tell you the number of uniques |
| 522s | that we have now uh and we'll be |
| 524s | extremely misleading for indication on |
| 527s | how many will be added when we actually |
| 529s | get around to uh to working on uniques |
| 533s | because right now basically nothing's |
| 535s | been done to them |
| 537s | I shouldn't say nothing very little has |
| 539s | been done to them compared to how many |
| 541s | will probably want to add for the patch |
| 543s | when we're actually looking to release |
| 544s | it |
| 547s | we need to see Gregory yeah he's he's |
| 549s | we've we've got tons of job offers for |
| 552s | Gregory |
| 554s | um lots of people were very uh |
| 556s | interested in in expanding his |
| 559s | um |
| 560s | CV |
| 562s | and a resume and uh yeah I'm sure he'll |
| 565s | he'll land on his feet once he's once |
| 568s | his current job disappears |
| 574s | character in the game by the way just in |
| 576s | case that's not clear |
| 583s | hello what is happening here |
| 585s | I'm playing a game we're gonna try T4 |
| 588s | jewelry see how it goes |
| 594s | is impossible |
| 597s | oh that hurts |
| 602s | try to line both these up |
| 606s | do you line all three of them up |
| 608s | we missed we missed |
| 610s | it's okay |
| 612s | oh |
| 616s | she's got some deeps |
| 624s | they'll stand on our Trail |
| 628s | she hits like a truck |
| 636s | oh my goodness me |
| 657s | she's got she's got she's got a lot of |
| 660s | damage |
| 661s | there there's no shortage of damage |
| 663s | output here |
| 669s | got greedy |
| 672s | got greedy |
| 679s | oh that's okay I don't really have |
| 681s | anything lined up to give her anyways so |
| 684s | not a big deal |
| 690s | okay I just want to see if I just want |
| 692s | to see if this activated for uh |
| 695s | empowered |
| 697s | because it should have |
| 708s | yeah because it keeps doing this there's |
| 711s | a problem |
| 725s | is there not a problem and I am I just |
| 727s | like proving the point of someone's |
| 729s | comment earlier |
| 735s | even more so |
| 738s | yep it has nothing to do with what I did |
| 740s | I'm just an idiot |
| 744s | I'll take it |
| 747s | that's good news |
| 749s | so yes whoever that was earlier let's go |
| 752s | up and find your name |
| 758s | lzfx I completely agree with you |
| 762s | all right have you guys considered any |
| 763s | end game alternate advancement Point |
| 765s | systems that are generic across all |
| 768s | classes like EQ double A and D3 Paragon |
| 770s | points yeah we definitely have |
| 771s | considered it for sure |
| 773s | um |
| 775s | I |
| 777s | there there are there's a lot of good |
| 779s | stuff in a system like that |
| 781s | um and I'd love to get something in |
| 784s | um there's no word exactly on a timeline |
| 787s | or something like that what it will look |
| 789s | like any sort of details or anything |
| 791s | but I think that something like that is |
| 793s | important and the important part about |
| 794s | it I think one of the really key things |
| 797s | is that it's not tied to the leveling |
| 800s | system |
| 801s | so it has some other |
| 804s | uh start Point start trigger |
| 807s | um and not having it be uh this starts |
| 809s | when you hit Level 100. that's |
| 810s | definitely something that we want to |
| 812s | avoid |
| 813s | um |
| 824s | come on |
| 826s | um so yeah I think we'll see we'll see |
| 828s | something like that |
| 831s | eventually |
| 832s | um what that is exactly |
| 835s | um |
| 836s | that's a really solid helmet just just a |
| 839s | really the one I'm wearing is probably |
| 840s | better I think |
| 845s | yeah because I need that cooldown |
| 846s | reduction in the helmet at this point |
| 849s | that's a nice find just like |
| 854s | really nice stats and uh |
| 857s | good tears |
| 868s | all right |
| 870s | on to the next one |
| 874s | maybe we're trying to like Farm some |
| 875s | corruption up a little bit |
| 879s | uh |
| 881s | are you the empowered bug and temporary |
| 884s | ADC versus game breaking bug I think |
| 886s | this is an okay thing for a Friday yeah |
| 894s | if you have any questions if it's your |
| 896s | first time here please put an at last |
| 898s | Epoch game in the question and I'll be |
| 900s | sure to answer it just helps me pick out |
| 903s | the stuff where people are just just |
| 904s | chatting with each other and looking to |
| 906s | get a question answered buy me on stream |
| 909s | um let's see one here uh how you can |
| 912s | play something like an assassin in this |
| 913s | game yeah we have one of our classes is |
| 916s | the Rogue |
| 917s | um and one of the master classes for the |
| 919s | Rogue is the blade dancer which which |
| 921s | gets into that assassiny type feeling |
| 924s | um we don't have a stealth mechanic |
| 926s | which is quite often I think a |
| 929s | requirement for a lot of people for an |
| 931s | assassin type character |
| 933s | um but just didn't fit great for us so |
| 935s | we we don't have a an actual stealth |
| 937s | mechanic we have a smoke ball ability |
| 938s | that uh causes things to miss you and |
| 941s | there's a lot of things that try and |
| 942s | emulate a |
| 945s | um invisibility style system uh whereby |
| 948s | you're like giving giving um aggro to |
| 951s | something else and then you know kind of |
| 954s | Disappearing a little bit but you're not |
| 956s | actually going invisible |
| 968s | I was not taking it as inflammatory |
| 971s | a lot of x |
| 974s | I am perfectly happy to uh make mistakes |
| 978s | like that |
| 982s | and I do them a lot |
| 983s | [Laughter] |
| 997s | yeah so some of those some of those |
| 998s | weird quirks about like the way that |
| 999s | moments unlock and things like that |
| 1002s | um for empowered it's it's a little bit |
| 1004s | of it was |
| 1007s | um |
| 1007s | issues we had with the tech and then |
| 1010s | tried to fix it with things that ended |
| 1011s | up being less than intuitive |
| 1022s | it's funny the the shrines in |
| 1023s | multiplayer now the shrines don't reach |
| 1025s | super super far so you kind of got to be |
| 1028s | kind of kind of close to both get the |
| 1029s | shrine if there's two you're playing and |
| 1032s | um Carver and I've been playing a bunch |
| 1035s | I'm terrible about it uh about popping |
| 1038s | shrines too early |
| 1041s | uh |
| 1043s | psycho my bad |
| 1051s | usually he's ahead of me though so you |
| 1053s | know he waits for me |
| 1065s | any ETA multiplayer nope |
| 1069s | we are still in the when it's ready |
| 1072s | category we we really like |
| 1075s | putting a number on it |
| 1077s | puts pressure on us for releasing at |
| 1080s | that time and there's always there then |
| 1082s | becomes the struggle of like okay do we |
| 1085s | do we push for that number or do we |
| 1089s | delay it and I know it's frustrating |
| 1092s | that uh that there's no details on when |
| 1094s | it's gonna happen yet |
| 1096s | um |
| 1097s | but really it's gonna happen just as |
| 1099s | soon as possible |
| 1101s | um |
| 1102s | and we won't really know that it's ready |
| 1104s | until it's ready you know |
| 1112s | stand down or die |
| 1114s | ha ha |
| 1117s | did any information concern Cycles not |
| 1119s | really uh we're still very much a |
| 1121s | discussion on how they're going to uh be |
| 1125s | presented how they're going to function |
| 1127s | all those sorts of things it's all it's |
| 1129s | all very much in development still |
| 1131s | um |
| 1133s | so I think I say in details Wise It's so |
| 1135s | unbelievably subject to change that it's |
| 1139s | okay |
| 1142s | essentially what's what's the point |
| 1143s | right |
| 1152s | uh hey Mike I'm pretty sure this was |
| 1153s | asked in the past but how do you feel |
| 1155s | about channeling abilities and have you |
| 1157s | guys talked about how they could be more |
| 1159s | viable |
| 1160s | um yeah I mean so channeling abilities |
| 1161s | are a really tricky thing to do because |
| 1164s | standing still is |
| 1167s | um a dangerous Prospect |
| 1169s | in general in an arpg like you almost |
| 1171s | you almost never want to be standing |
| 1173s | still for an extended period of time |
| 1175s | um and so like the channeling abilities |
| 1177s | that like you also move war path Cyclone |
| 1179s | Whirlwind whatever you want to call it |
| 1180s | is uh inherently |
| 1183s | has a pretty big uh leg up on the |
| 1185s | competition when it comes to channeling |
| 1187s | abilities in general |
| 1189s | um |
| 1193s | we've definitely |
| 1196s | we have buff Channel you believe this is |
| 1197s | quite a few times recently I think |
| 1199s | um |
| 1202s | but it's it's really hard to uh to put a |
| 1205s | price on the inability to move |
| 1210s | um and and then there's another problem |
| 1212s | with the with the term viability like |
| 1214s | Define viability |
| 1217s | Define a viable ability |
| 1219s | um |
| 1225s | that's a nice large Idol |
| 1231s | um so I |
| 1232s | just to make them better it's possible |
| 1235s | there's no details on if we're going to |
| 1238s | be like okay let's |
| 1239s | let's make this one specifically better |
| 1241s | or anything like that |
| 1242s | um balancing individual skills is also |
| 1245s | something that comes later on in the uh |
| 1247s | development cycle as well so we gotta be |
| 1250s | getting a little further on I think |
| 1252s | just multiplayer in general does make |
| 1253s | them a little bit better |
| 1255s | because you do have people that are able |
| 1257s | to tank the front line for you |
| 1259s | um so I think they'll probably be a bit |
| 1261s | of a gap where we'll like have |
| 1263s | multiplayer available and let let people |
| 1265s | try them out a little bit more |
| 1268s | and uh see if it helps |
| 1271s | you know they might suddenly become oh |
| 1273s | my gosh they're the best things in |
| 1274s | sliced bread |
| 1275s | um |
| 1276s | just because multiplayer is a thing you |
| 1278s | know that that could happen I don't |
| 1280s | think it will but it could |
| 1291s | oh what do we got here oh |
| 1294s | yeah that makes sense |
| 1308s | oh |
| 1316s | where are you going |
| 1318s | running away from you aren't you |
| 1322s | I had to run the wrong way but |
| 1325s | catch some stuff on the way a little |
| 1327s | sightseeing |
| 1329s | all right |
| 1331s | uh any plans on regarding Mac OS |
| 1334s | supports or your hands tied until Apple |
| 1335s | does something about it |
| 1337s | um we |
| 1339s | when we like so we we used to have OS |
| 1342s | Mac OS support |
| 1343s | um we did remove it a while ago |
| 1346s | um we don't really have any concrete |
| 1348s | plans to to to expand back out to Mac OS |
| 1352s | support at this point |
| 1353s | um |
| 1354s | it's something we might look at in the |
| 1356s | future |
| 1357s | there's |
| 1359s | there are ways to play still on a Mac |
| 1363s | computer as is |
| 1365s | um |
| 1367s | and and I know there's a lot of people |
| 1369s | in the community that do have |
| 1370s | information on how to do that |
| 1372s | so if you really want to play and you |
| 1374s | have a Mac and you're struggling to do |
| 1375s | so it is possible |
| 1377s | um |
| 1381s | I'm not sure the details and the steps |
| 1383s | to do so unfortunately because I don't |
| 1384s | have a Mac but um |
| 1387s | yeah it's not it's not impossible it's |
| 1389s | not something we're |
| 1390s | getting another platform up and running |
| 1393s | before launch is not something we're |
| 1395s | interested in doing |
| 1396s | um |
| 1397s | extra platforms are so much work and |
| 1401s | it's multiplicative work too it's not |
| 1403s | um it's it's not like oh it's just it's |
| 1405s | one more No it's it's |
| 1407s | uh all the work we have to do for all |
| 1409s | the other platforms multiplied |
| 1412s | by one more |
| 1414s | um |
| 1415s | so it's it's a it's a lot of extra work |
| 1417s | to do and um |
| 1420s | yeah we're just we're not really |
| 1421s | prepared to add an extra |
| 1424s | um |
| 1425s | an extra platform on right now |
| 1437s | come on |
| 1438s | come on |
| 1441s | yeah that this load screen right now |
| 1443s | doesn't exist in multiplayer |
| 1447s | and I mean specifically between an echo |
| 1450s | and echo of a world |
| 1454s | that on screen specifically |
| 1463s | [Music] |
| 1465s | does your stash connect to different |
| 1467s | starting characters yes |
| 1470s | if they're in the same |
| 1472s | uh if they're in the same league like uh |
| 1475s | environment so um all software character |
| 1478s | stashes are connected all hardcore |
| 1479s | character stashes are connected |
| 1481s | um |
| 1483s | the exception being solo characters the |
| 1485s | solar characters have their own stash |
| 1486s | but yeah |
| 1490s | the first place to access that stash |
| 1491s | with a new character is |
| 1494s | the third Zone |
| 1498s | second Zone |
| 1507s | I don't know what it is right now in |
| 1509s | live uh to the second or third Zone |
| 1512s | foreign |
| 1525s | do you guys have any more insight onto |
| 1528s | how you're going to handle uh game |
| 1534s | crunches |
| 1538s | like ssf versus trade uh |
| 1542s | I feel like it's a word I just don't |
| 1544s | know |
| 1545s | um how is stashing going to work per |
| 1547s | account per character |
| 1555s | hi mothers should I understand the |
| 1556s | question |
| 1558s | how are you going to handle ssf versus |
| 1560s | trade |
| 1561s | like the characters in ssf won't be able |
| 1564s | to trade in the characters in the normal |
| 1568s | environment will have access to |
| 1571s | the |
| 1572s | like there will be some way to to |
| 1575s | have items transition between characters |
| 1577s | and in ssf there won't be ways for items |
| 1579s | to transfer between characters like I I |
| 1581s | think that's it |
| 1583s | how is stashing going to work per |
| 1584s | account per character so it's like |
| 1587s | per account stash is a per account |
| 1589s | um but |
| 1591s | like |
| 1592s | an ssf character we're still uh I |
| 1597s | I don't remember the details of what it |
| 1599s | is Rhymer if you can look it up it'd be |
| 1601s | great if you have time well because we |
| 1603s | just we actually just just figured this |
| 1606s | out I think |
| 1608s | on if solo characters were going to |
| 1610s | share a stash with other solo characters |
| 1613s | um and just not have access to trade at |
| 1615s | all |
| 1624s | or if they were gonna stay as a part |
| 1626s | character like the the the Solo |
| 1628s | character is having a shared stash or |
| 1629s | not I don't know the answer to right now |
| 1632s | I can't remember |
| 1637s | uh how is scaling of the team going do |
| 1639s | you plan any more people yeah it's going |
| 1640s | great we're bringing new people on uh |
| 1643s | pretty frequently and uh |
| 1646s | I mean not every day but you know |
| 1648s | there's people coming on |
| 1650s | I see new people popping in having a |
| 1653s | great time |
| 1659s | and |
| 1662s | yeah uh we are adding more people |
| 1664s | there's still uh job postings up on our |
| 1666s | website if you're |
| 1668s | uh think you're qualified for any of |
| 1670s | those please apply and we'll review it |
| 1672s | and |
| 1673s | All That Jazz and |
| 1677s | how it works out |
| 1679s | how do you feel about the current |
| 1680s | selection of movement skills pretty |
| 1681s | great uh it feels pretty much guaranteed |
| 1683s | that most players will use one skill |
| 1687s | slot for movement ability and with some |
| 1689s | classes that restricts you to one skill |
| 1690s | a bit of the illusion of choice problem |
| 1693s | yeah I mean so there's we try and have |
| 1695s | multiple movement skills on every class |
| 1696s | there are still quite a few missing |
| 1698s | skills on Rogue which is that only has |
| 1701s | one movement skill class |
| 1703s | um I I think that there are also game |
| 1706s | modes that lend themselves to needing a |
| 1709s | movement skill less than others so like |
| 1713s | um and sometimes those are incidental |
| 1715s | movement skills too so |
| 1717s | um we try we try and build ways to make |
| 1719s | certain skills into movement skills like |
| 1721s | for example there is uh in Javelin you |
| 1724s | can |
| 1730s | you can here it is |
| 1735s | uh jump to the flag |
| 1738s | um |
| 1739s | this basically if you ever play League |
| 1741s | of Legends play Jarvan this this turns |
| 1743s | Javelin into jarvan's flag and drag |
| 1746s | um |
| 1747s | and |
| 1750s | so we try and build extra movement |
| 1752s | skills into a sec like secondary effects |
| 1754s | of other abilities where we can to help |
| 1756s | alleviate that problem because yeah we |
| 1758s | definitely see it too |
| 1760s | any other ones you have weird ones uh |
| 1763s | Smite has descends |
| 1766s | or is it descend and it was over on the |
| 1769s | left |
| 1770s | um |
| 1771s | that one teleports you a smite |
| 1774s | so we've got we got smite |
| 1776s | uh Javelin or Javelin is Jalen's right |
| 1780s | here uh lunge Shield Rush is four on |
| 1783s | Sentinel |
| 1785s | are there any other weird ones on |
| 1787s | Sentinel |
| 1790s | and really technically Warpath on the |
| 1792s | point clean removing skills I'm not |
| 1793s | gonna claim that |
| 1800s | I think that's it yeah that's four there |
| 1803s | um and yeah like Rogue being the extreme |
| 1805s | other example there with only one really |
| 1808s | there's a couple others don't really |
| 1810s | count |
| 1811s | um |
| 1813s | there's still a lot of skills missing on |
| 1814s | Rogue |
| 1816s | is the best way I can uh |
| 1820s | if you multiply that one's the same |
| 1822s | amount okay so what I meant was there's |
| 1825s | a pool of things and we have to we have |
| 1827s | another Pool of things those two things |
| 1828s | multiply together to console we have to |
| 1830s | do if we increase the number of one of |
| 1833s | those Pools by one it multiplies the |
| 1834s | amount of things we have to do by the |
| 1835s | other pool |
| 1839s | that's what it means |
| 1845s | all right next question |
| 1850s | when multiplayer drops will characters |
| 1853s | be able to be played across both Linux |
| 1855s | and windows yeah there's |
| 1856s | um |
| 1862s | I don't see why not |
| 1865s | I could be wrong with that but as far as |
| 1868s | I'm aware it's the same client it's the |
| 1870s | same |
| 1872s | um |
| 1873s | there shouldn't be anything that causes |
| 1874s | a problem with that |
| 1877s | [Music] |
| 1880s | I'm pretty sure it's fine |
| 1882s | yeah |
| 1884s | I'm gonna say uh yes Asterix I could be |
| 1888s | wrong and it could change |
| 1894s | also we'll respect to with respect to |
| 1896s | multiplayer how are you planning on |
| 1898s | handling uh stability sharing |
| 1901s | please define oh stability in the um |
| 1904s | timelines so you'll you'll kind of have |
| 1907s | your own everyone will have their own |
| 1909s | version of the timeline |
| 1911s | um |
| 1912s | and it will like finish like uh you'll |
| 1917s | only get credit for someone else's |
| 1918s | timeline this is another thing that |
| 1919s | could change it instead just to feedback |
| 1921s | on those things but right now you get |
| 1922s | credit for the timeline when it |
| 1923s | completes not when every single echo's |
| 1926s | done so it's not you're not sharing the |
| 1928s | timeline it's one person's timeline |
| 1931s | um |
| 1932s | yeah |
| 1934s | Master Sword thank you very much 17 |
| 1936s | months in a row wow wow |
| 1940s | both of you Dario Master Sword 17 months |
| 1946s | looking good guys |
| 1953s | thanks for thanks for being here thanks |
| 1955s | for hanging out thanks for having fun I |
| 1957s | appreciate it |
| 1964s | all right |
| 1965s | we're going next |
| 1970s | hello |
| 1971s | try that again hello total Annihilation |
| 1974s | you have one question will there be |
| 1979s | polish oh like like uh like uh um |
| 1983s | I thought you're like asking if there's |
| 1985s | gonna be Polish people in there no will |
| 1986s | there be a language translation a |
| 1988s | localization for the Polish language |
| 1991s | um we don't have these exact languages |
| 1993s | that we're planning on localizing to |
| 1994s | just yet we'll start with the |
| 1997s | um |
| 1997s | probably a smaller selection than our |
| 1999s | final goal and expand from there |
| 2004s | I so like I I don't know what they're |
| 2007s | what they're going to be |
| 2009s | um I would be as just like |
| 2013s | someone who has very little knowledge of |
| 2015s | popularity of different languages around |
| 2016s | the world I would suggest it's probably |
| 2019s | not in the top few percentage of people |
| 2022s | that we that plays this game or wants to |
| 2024s | play this game |
| 2025s | um and needs localization for it so a |
| 2027s | chance of them being in the first batch |
| 2029s | I'd say is not extremely high but this |
| 2032s | is from a personal perspective of not |
| 2035s | knowing much about the topic |
| 2037s | um |
| 2037s | and we will look to expand that as time |
| 2040s | goes on as we get more in |
| 2043s | more and more and more and more and more |
| 2053s | will there be an offline mode as well |
| 2055s | later on like in Diablo 2 yes |
| 2060s | um it'll be |
| 2062s | yeah basically the same because yeah |
| 2064s | it's before you log in |
| 2067s | um |
| 2068s | yeah it's basically the same as d2s |
| 2084s | there might be like a |
| 2090s | steam might impose some weird rules on |
| 2092s | like |
| 2094s | I don't know if you met somewhere real |
| 2095s | like it's been um like two months since |
| 2097s | you logged into steam can you still play |
| 2098s | your games I don't know if there's some |
| 2099s | weird role that steam does like that |
| 2101s | um but I know same has like a player |
| 2103s | games offline mode |
| 2119s | uh how far away is the falconer it will |
| 2121s | not be here until 1.0 |
| 2126s | uh how does work on the falconer uh it |
| 2128s | hasn't started yet |
| 2131s | are you planning to add any sort of |
| 2133s | dismemberment as death animations and |
| 2135s | shattering effects for Frozen monsters |
| 2137s | um the shattering of Frozen monsters is |
| 2139s | is so cool |
| 2142s | um and my goodness is it hard to do |
| 2144s | because it multiplies once again it |
| 2145s | multiplies the number of death |
| 2146s | animations |
| 2148s | um and you can't really do it |
| 2150s | procedurally very well |
| 2153s | um so that one at least not initially no |
| 2156s | I'd say there might be some like enemies |
| 2160s | that are made of ice that will shatter |
| 2162s | as part of their animation but freezing |
| 2165s | an enemy and then killing it having that |
| 2167s | normal like like taking the spider |
| 2168s | freezing and shattering it having it |
| 2170s | break up into pieces and things like |
| 2171s | that not on the list right now um would |
| 2174s | be cool would love to do it one day but |
| 2175s | not in the feature scope for 1.0 |
| 2181s | all right |
| 2187s | I'm gonna end up being to be known as |
| 2190s | the upgrade supporter pack guy I asked |
| 2193s | about the so many times please do |
| 2195s | something about it I cannot do anything |
| 2197s | about it myself |
| 2198s | so you're asking the wrong person |
| 2200s | but |
| 2203s | we are working on it |
| 2206s | it is not a so it's not sitting in some |
| 2208s | like well we tried and failed too bad |
| 2210s | put on the back burner no it's something |
| 2212s | we're actually trying to solve we just |
| 2213s | don't have a solution for it right now |
| 2219s | all right am I supposed to be able to |
| 2222s | finish mono boss after dead because of |
| 2224s | minions no it's a known bug |
| 2227s | uh with that being said will there be a |
| 2230s | standalone client uh I don't know |
| 2238s | I have no idea what the status of that |
| 2239s | is going forward |
| 2251s | yeah there is a standalone client it's |
| 2254s | um we've had it since the beginning it's |
| 2255s | terrible I am the one who does most of |
| 2259s | the maintenance on it and really regret |
| 2261s | ever suggesting we make one |
| 2265s | was a terrible mistake on my part |
| 2271s | I thought it was a great idea |
| 2273s | oh boy was I wrong |
| 2281s | it's worse than steam in every single |
| 2283s | way |
| 2284s | uh |
| 2286s | uh and takes up a ton of our time and |
| 2289s | costs us so much money |
| 2291s | it's just bad in every way |
| 2299s | I want to come across as harsh but |
| 2301s | realistically is the Linux client an |
| 2303s | equal priority with Windows or is |
| 2305s | Windows the priority |
| 2306s | um so we do hold the Linux client as a |
| 2309s | primary game client and we expect the |
| 2312s | same quality standards out of it that we |
| 2313s | do out of Windows |
| 2315s | um we have almost no one on the team |
| 2318s | that uses the Linux client so it gets a |
| 2320s | lot less organic testing |
| 2323s | um and we've a lot the percentage of our |
| 2325s | player population that uses it is Tiny |
| 2327s | compared to our Windows population so it |
| 2330s | gets a lot less Community testing as |
| 2331s | well so I think that there's likely a |
| 2333s | lot of unknown bugs that are just kind |
| 2335s | of hiding out in our Linux clients still |
| 2337s | that we just don't know about |
| 2339s | um |
| 2340s | but we don't they don't get like when we |
| 2343s | do have bugs for either one or the other |
| 2345s | they don't get prioritized less or more |
| 2347s | based on which one they're for |
| 2349s | um if they affect everyone they get |
| 2352s | prioritized more than if they affect |
| 2354s | only windows or only Linux but if it's a |
| 2356s | bug that just affects the entire game uh |
| 2359s | population does go up above the ones |
| 2362s | that are specific to either |
| 2365s | most the time like |
| 2367s | if they're the same severity so if two |
| 2369s | bugs in the exact same severity and one |
| 2372s | of them affects everyone and one of them |
| 2373s | affects some subset of the population |
| 2375s | the one that affects everyone will |
| 2376s | likely get taken look at first |
| 2379s | severity plays a big role in that |
| 2380s | severity is much more important |
| 2386s | like a bug that stopped anyone from |
| 2387s | playing |
| 2388s | would be way more important than one |
| 2390s | that just like I don't know made it |
| 2393s | hiccup every once in a while |
| 2399s | any chance of adding sockets before 1.0 |
| 2401s | yeah yes |
| 2406s | but um |
| 2408s | treating that question like a programmer |
| 2419s | uh hi big fan of Lusty [ __ ] here could |
| 2422s | you please explain Sexton blocking |
| 2424s | things |
| 2425s | am I gonna have to like go find a like |
| 2428s | detailed explanation of exactly how sex |
| 2430s | and blocking Works before uh this |
| 2431s | question goes away |
| 2433s | because I do not know all the little |
| 2435s | little tiny intricacies and details of |
| 2437s | it |
| 2439s | but uh just I think it's funny so if you |
| 2442s | you can block anything with anything |
| 2444s | really if you try hard enough so like |
| 2446s | like there's a sword coming in and if |
| 2449s | you have like a Sextant maybe it's made |
| 2451s | of like mithril uh you can like just |
| 2454s | hold in the exact right spot you have to |
| 2456s | be very precise with Section blocking uh |
| 2458s | one little slip up and and it just it'll |
| 2461s | it'll cut right through you no matter |
| 2463s | what anyways |
| 2465s | it's a lot harder to block larger blunt |
| 2467s | instruments with this accident like like |
| 2469s | a a large Hammer |
| 2471s | um or a spear like a piercing motion |
| 2474s | that that's that's very difficult to |
| 2475s | block on this extent but it is possible |
| 2477s | especially if you get a magic one |
| 2479s | foreign |
| 2482s | [Laughter] |
| 2485s | place |
| 2489s | uh I think this is the next one I'm a |
| 2491s | Diablo Immortal content creator cool and |
| 2495s | I know myself and a few others in our |
| 2498s | Aftershock United Team wanted to check |
| 2500s | out last ebook do you guys plan to |
| 2502s | release multiplayer and trade soon |
| 2505s | um so multiplayer is uh coming with our |
| 2508s | next major patch and the form of item |
| 2512s | transference between players whatever |
| 2514s | that looks like will be with that |
| 2517s | initial drop we don't have any timelines |
| 2519s | on when that will be specifics |
| 2522s | just because it's very much a when it's |
| 2524s | ready thing we're currently in closed |
| 2527s | testing for the for our multiplayer |
| 2530s | systems and we have a group of CTS |
| 2533s | Community testers which is an open open |
| 2535s | application process that |
| 2537s | um |
| 2539s | has an almost 100 acceptance rate at |
| 2541s | this point I think and |
| 2543s | um |
| 2545s | it just takes a while to get in so if |
| 2547s | you have if you have submitted to that |
| 2548s | and you're not in yet I apologize we're |
| 2550s | working on it we're working on making |
| 2552s | the process faster too because we've got |
| 2554s | way more applications than we thought |
| 2555s | we'd have |
| 2557s | um |
| 2559s | apparently there's a lot of people that |
| 2561s | are interested in it but just uh if you |
| 2563s | do get into that a a note in general it |
| 2565s | is still like a not finished product yet |
| 2570s | and there is a very long list of known |
| 2571s | bugs that I strongly recommend reading |
| 2574s | first |
| 2575s | uh |
| 2577s | before you start uh reporting bugs |
| 2584s | because I still see most of the most |
| 2587s | reports I see are still on that list |
| 2589s | uh yeah |
| 2592s | yeah |
| 2595s | so we're still still working on no |
| 2597s | details yet |
| 2599s | uh how do the devs feel about block |
| 2601s | Effectiveness currently going to point |
| 2603s | nine do you think we will see any |
| 2605s | changes to block effect on this parole |
| 2606s | and put out yeah I think block is one of |
| 2608s | those topics that gets a lot of touches |
| 2611s | um |
| 2612s | do I think it needs a major overhaul no |
| 2615s | do I think you could use with |
| 2616s | improvements oh yeah apparently |
| 2617s | everything could |
| 2620s | um |
| 2621s | we haven't made any major changes to it |
| 2624s | since the live version |
| 2626s | I'll say that |
| 2632s | I will not die immediately if I have to |
| 2634s | choose sex and that's my Shields |
| 2638s | uh I was wondering if you could achieve |
| 2640s | the effect of shattering a frozen Enemy |
| 2641s | by encasing them in a uniform just size |
| 2644s | scaled ice block and then having a |
| 2645s | single shattering animation for that ice |
| 2647s | block yeah that could work |
| 2650s | um |
| 2655s | yeah I could probably work |
| 2659s | are I think part of the problem with |
| 2661s | yeah |
| 2672s | I'd be so like the |
| 2675s | the Frozen effect being a big ice block |
| 2678s | on a large group of enemies I think |
| 2680s | would look not fantastic |
| 2685s | um would be that would be the biggest |
| 2686s | issue I'd I can see with that |
| 2689s | because it while it could look pretty |
| 2691s | good on a single enemy that you're |
| 2692s | fighting having it look really great uh |
| 2695s | on a large scale I think would be really |
| 2697s | tough |
| 2700s | always the challenge |
| 2708s | please give us more maces maybe some |
| 2710s | cool unique lightning maze for shaman |
| 2713s | uh |
| 2714s | we'll probably add in lots more stuff |
| 2716s | for every class type |
| 2719s | so sure but if you have specific |
| 2721s | suggestions or requests please head on |
| 2722s | over to our forums or Discord and leave |
| 2724s | them in the appropriate channels |
| 2735s | because I unfortunately don't take notes |
| 2737s | while I'm doing this so um we get a lot |
| 2740s | of good ideas on stream |
| 2741s | I just uh |
| 2744s | I've got so many other things that I'm |
| 2746s | focusing on that I don't end up writing |
| 2747s | any of it down |
| 2749s | and uh |
| 2751s | sometimes they get lost in the shuffle |
| 2753s | because that |
| 2755s | putting them on the forums is great |
| 2757s | because then we have a written written |
| 2758s | copy of it |
| 2767s | whoo |
| 2777s | if they release multiplayer footage do |
| 2779s | they go to prison no |
| 2783s | I I don't know what the details of of |
| 2785s | our specific NDA is but frequent |
| 2790s | um |
| 2791s | frequent I don't say like uh |
| 2794s | repercussions frequent uh |
| 2800s | consequences freaking consequences of |
| 2802s | breaking an NDA are being removed from |
| 2804s | whatever program the NDA is related to |
| 2810s | I I assume ours is pretty similar |
| 2812s | probably |
| 2817s | okay okay well characters made as part |
| 2820s | of the closed community tests still be |
| 2822s | available and playable in multiplayer |
| 2823s | multiplayer is released publicly no |
| 2825s | those characters are on the equivalent |
| 2828s | of a PTR that you'd see in most other |
| 2830s | games where |
| 2831s | um anything that's that's done on that |
| 2833s | uh on those other servers in that other |
| 2836s | environment is restricted to that other |
| 2837s | environment ah finish the map |
| 2840s | this little sliver of blue in the corner |
| 2842s | there and I had to explore at all that's |
| 2844s | all I was uh and yeah so so people that |
| 2849s | are in the community tester program will |
| 2850s | not have level 100 characters when |
| 2853s | multiplayer is released they will have |
| 2854s | to start at level one just like everyone |
| 2855s | else |
| 2860s | so there's the only Advantage people |
| 2861s | that are in the community tester program |
| 2863s | have going into 0.9 release as far as |
| 2867s | racing and everything like that is uh is |
| 2870s | specifically considered to be a |
| 2872s | knowledge Advantage so they'll have more |
| 2874s | uh experience with the game and things |
| 2877s | like that that's it |
| 2890s | sorry another last default question |
| 2893s | why is it sorry it's great |
| 2898s | uh why is your local time at 1 45 but my |
| 2903s | local time is at 10 45. |
| 2905s | uh we live in different parts of the |
| 2907s | world |
| 2913s | uh |
| 2915s | yeah |
| 2916s | where I live this is what time it is now |
| 2918s | that's why when I set the stream I say |
| 2920s | good afternoon because it's afternoon |
| 2922s | where I live |
| 2923s | level 93 ding ding ding |
| 2928s | let me putting points to do I think |
| 2929s | we're putting points in over here |
| 2931s | I really want to get up here I think |
| 2933s | this is from going up here |
| 2940s | they're different different character I |
| 2942s | was working on |
| 2946s | foreign |
| 2952s | Mike knows what build he's playing |
| 2967s | all right next question |
| 2970s | sorry if uh two in the third I don't |
| 2973s | know if that was a serious question or |
| 2974s | not if it was please ask it again and |
| 2976s | I'll try and figure out what you mean |
| 2978s | but I'll give you kind of a joke answer |
| 2979s | because I thought it was a joke question |
| 2980s | uh any plans for Thorns to be further |
| 2983s | supported by items as a primary damage I |
| 2986s | like doing that kind of build where I |
| 2987s | can I mean not specifically but not |
| 2990s | specifically not either there's |
| 2992s | um I don't I haven't seen any like okay |
| 2994s | here's a unique to make this better as a |
| 2996s | primary damage Source or anything like |
| 2997s | that it's a tricky thing to do building |
| 2999s | defense |
| 3002s | um as offense is always tricky but um |
| 3008s | it's definitely a mechanic that we're |
| 3011s | lacking at the moment still as far as a |
| 3013s | mechanics the wrong word a build |
| 3014s | archetype that doesn't quite work yet |
| 3018s | the best way to put it uh do you guys |
| 3020s | have much discussion on the topic of |
| 3021s | gameplay ethos versus endgame uh as in |
| 3026s | will the point of last Epoch be to |
| 3028s | progress of getting gear and getting to |
| 3030s | 100 or will it become more 100 best in |
| 3033s | slot focused or at least have Pinnacle |
| 3036s | content that requires 100 best and |
| 3037s | sluggish gear a lot of the talk is that |
| 3040s | multiple trade will really take away |
| 3041s | from the process of getting to the end |
| 3044s | game and that play time replayability |
| 3046s | will be drastically reduced okay so I |
| 3048s | mean those are all the concerns we have |
| 3049s | and things we're trying to avoid with |
| 3051s | the system I think |
| 3053s | um |
| 3054s | suggestions like that and make a lot of |
| 3056s | assumptions |
| 3057s | as to the nature of the systems we're |
| 3059s | implementing that haven't been |
| 3060s | implemented yet |
| 3062s | uh I think there's |
| 3067s | um |
| 3068s | like there's definitely something we're |
| 3069s | concerned about is we would like we |
| 3071s | don't we're not building a game okay |
| 3074s | there's there's the |
| 3078s | um let's use it let's use a completely |
| 3079s | different genre there's |
| 3081s | wow where the game starts at max level |
| 3085s | most people would consider to be two |
| 3087s | different games in wow there's the |
| 3089s | leveling game which lots of people |
| 3090s | really enjoy and have a ton of fun with |
| 3092s | but I would say most people probably |
| 3093s | consider wow to start for a character |
| 3095s | once you hit max level everything that |
| 3097s | happens before that's kind of pointless |
| 3099s | the worst gear you can find it's been a |
| 3102s | while since I played wow so this rule |
| 3103s | might not quite hold up |
| 3106s | but the worst gear you find below max |
| 3108s | level and wow sorry the best gear you |
| 3111s | find below max level is way way way |
| 3114s | worse than the worst gear you find at |
| 3116s | max level |
| 3118s | um it's just the fact of being a Max |
| 3119s | Level |
| 3120s | piece of gear suddenly spikes its its |
| 3123s | power crazy |
| 3125s | um |
| 3126s | and that works really well for a |
| 3130s | um |
| 3131s | for an NFL |
| 3134s | um it's not the stock it's not the it's |
| 3135s | not the style we're going for so I would |
| 3138s | say most characters will never hit level |
| 3140s | 100 the vast majority of characters will |
| 3143s | never hit level 100. |
| 3145s | um |
| 3147s | I I think |
| 3148s | most people will find themselves |
| 3151s | um doing uh or finding them to find |
| 3154s | themselves gated for super the hardest |
| 3156s | content in the game whatever that ends |
| 3157s | up being uh the gate for that I think |
| 3159s | most people find is gear not level |
| 3163s | so |
| 3164s | um |
| 3166s | and and the concept of best in slot gear |
| 3169s | as well I think is |
| 3172s | um |
| 3173s | there's a difficult Distinction on |
| 3176s | what's a different piece of gear like is |
| 3179s | is this |
| 3181s | unique |
| 3183s | uh a different like with with one LP as |
| 3186s | it is a different piece of gear than the |
| 3188s | same unique with 2lp you know is is it |
| 3190s | still best in slot is this a best in |
| 3192s | slot piece or does it have to be have a |
| 3194s | minimum number of LP to become the best |
| 3196s | in slot piece version of itself type |
| 3198s | thing so there's a weird question there |
| 3199s | that specifics our systems |
| 3201s | um I I think that there should be a lot |
| 3203s | of content |
| 3205s | that is |
| 3207s | um and it also scales with the because |
| 3209s | the the build variety I think is a lot |
| 3211s | higher in a game like this as it is to a |
| 3213s | game like wow where you see mostly see |
| 3215s | the game starting at level 100 and where |
| 3217s | best and slight gear is often required |
| 3219s | to do a lot of content |
| 3221s | or very close to best in Slug you're |
| 3223s | required to do a lot of content I I |
| 3225s | think that that |
| 3227s | um you'll start to see more |
| 3231s | uh I guess the build quality multiplied |
| 3235s | by |
| 3236s | gear quality is going to be the how have |
| 3239s | some sort of minimum threshold so |
| 3241s | there'll be certain builds that are more |
| 3242s | powerful than others and be less gear |
| 3243s | dependent than others |
| 3245s | um and I think that's just natural with |
| 3247s | the lithium build variety we have |
| 3251s | um and some builds probably won't be |
| 3253s | able to do super in-game content without |
| 3256s | the slack year just because the build's |
| 3259s | a little out there |
| 3261s | putting it nicely uh for some builds |
| 3264s | type thing so like |
| 3266s | um builds that really try and break the |
| 3268s | mold will potentially have a tougher |
| 3271s | time with this and I'm sure there'll be |
| 3272s | lots of builds to break the mold that |
| 3274s | people find that are really strong but |
| 3275s | on average I think builds to try and |
| 3277s | break the mode will have less success |
| 3278s | than builds that try and |
| 3280s | um |
| 3281s | follow a more obvious path I'm trying to |
| 3283s | say this carefully because I I don't |
| 3285s | want to say that like out their builds |
| 3287s | or something we're trying to discourage |
| 3288s | because it's not we're we'd love when |
| 3289s | people make out their builds |
| 3291s | um I just think naturally when you have |
| 3293s | a lot of for example |
| 3295s | um let's say armor support two-hand |
| 3297s | support like |
| 3299s | um fire damage support on a class and |
| 3301s | then you try and go and do a poison |
| 3303s | build with uh a throwing poison build |
| 3306s | when there's no throwing poison support |
| 3308s | on the class it's generally going to be |
| 3310s | less successful unless there's some |
| 3312s | special thing you found some special |
| 3314s | interaction and that's where unique |
| 3315s | items come into play and are very |
| 3317s | um very interesting and really good at |
| 3320s | enabling these sort of off-the-wall |
| 3322s | builds I kind of got off track here what |
| 3324s | was the original question let's go back |
| 3325s | to this |
| 3326s | um focus on being more 100 |
| 3328s | like level 100 business luckier I think |
| 3330s | that's |
| 3331s | uh not the focus I don't think we're |
| 3334s | looking at primary expectations of |
| 3337s | people to have level 100 and best and |
| 3340s | sluggier and all their characters |
| 3342s | um |
| 3343s | I think there will be people that that |
| 3346s | do get there and that's great |
| 3350s | um |
| 3351s | there's a weird that's a weird mace |
| 3354s | that's a weird base |
| 3357s | yeah so I think there will be people |
| 3359s | that get there to that like level 100 |
| 3361s | best and slot on cares no that will |
| 3363s | happen |
| 3364s | um but it's the exception not the rule |
| 3369s | I hope that answer your question |
| 3373s | cheers as a gamer and not as a Dev what |
| 3377s | are your top two things you want added |
| 3379s | to last Epoch just curious uh weapon |
| 3381s | swap |
| 3384s | I want weapon swap |
| 3386s | um |
| 3396s | I don't know the other thing would be |
| 3400s | I was gonna ask the top one thing inside |
| 3402s | that's why I sort of a snap answer for |
| 3404s | that |
| 3405s | um |
| 3407s | for the record it's not coming the thing |
| 3410s | I want I know it's not coming |
| 3412s | sadly |
| 3419s | uh I'm not sure what the other thing |
| 3420s | would be |
| 3424s | I love that I'd love to see |
| 3430s | I mean I'd love to see some like |
| 3433s | and and we're not doing this either |
| 3436s | like some |
| 3439s | giant red |
| 3442s | shell MTX to replace Shield throw |
| 3447s | yeah |
| 3449s | yeah 10 points the name they can figure |
| 3451s | out what that end with what that |
| 3452s | references to have to have like little |
| 3453s | tiny wings so disproportionately small |
| 3456s | tiny little white Wings inside of a |
| 3458s | giant red shell as a replacement for |
| 3460s | shield throw |
| 3462s | and if anyone can tell me what that's |
| 3464s | what that's a reference to I'll put a |
| 3465s | spoiler up on the screen |
| 3469s | even though I feel like you just Google |
| 3470s | it at this point but it's a specific |
| 3471s | game you have to give me the name of the |
| 3473s | item from the game |
| 3480s | all right can you give us a slow down |
| 3482s | something the Rune Master is going to be |
| 3483s | capable of |
| 3485s | um |
| 3485s | I I uh I'm sorry I'm not gonna say no |
| 3489s | I'd love to uh I'm gonna wait till we've |
| 3491s | got things more stabilized with that um |
| 3494s | and and remorse so it's a little more |
| 3496s | set in stone it's still roommates are |
| 3499s | still in the theoretical stage nothing's |
| 3501s | actually implemented yet |
| 3507s | uh obviously you thought your PC was |
| 3509s | broken that's the time something |
| 3512s | uh what's the strongest building game |
| 3514s | right now I have no idea |
| 3516s | sorry lizard Perry uh Epoch builds uh |
| 3521s | heavy |
| 3523s | um llama those those guys I'm sorry if I |
| 3526s | missed anyone's name anyone's name there |
| 3527s | that would probably go in that category |
| 3529s | um I I'm sure I'm sure all those guys |
| 3531s | would be able to tell you way better |
| 3533s | than I could |
| 3538s | uh VK Auto bomber is uh driving or boy |
| 3542s | Knight Auto bomber is uh very strong |
| 3545s | consistently strong |
| 3549s | all right I think it's the best |
| 3551s | any plans to expand the loot filter |
| 3554s | options like open affixes and not these |
| 3557s | affixes |
| 3559s | there is |
| 3561s | um |
| 3562s | not specifically on those specific |
| 3564s | options necessarily but um yeah there |
| 3567s | there are intentions to expand the loot |
| 3569s | filter yes |
| 3571s | uh can you show all of your uh resist |
| 3575s | that screen I just got the game on my |
| 3576s | first gift level 78 I want to see how |
| 3577s | they compare to mine yes however |
| 3582s | that's not terrible I thought it was |
| 3583s | gonna be way worse |
| 3584s | I was about to put up like a little |
| 3588s | um disclaimer of how terrible I was |
| 3590s | doing |
| 3595s | uh my son avoidance is low |
| 3597s | I should have more Stone woodens |
| 3599s | my arm is a little low I should probably |
| 3601s | have more armor too |
| 3604s | I'm pretty happy with my stats though |
| 3606s | than that |
| 3613s | nothing minion |
| 3617s | go through my build real quick if you |
| 3618s | want |
| 3619s | that's a reversal lunge I'm going quick |
| 3622s | take screenshots pause it and clip it |
| 3625s | pause it you wanna see what's going on |
| 3628s | sigils of hope I am following a build |
| 3630s | guide from someone |
| 3633s | if I post that |
| 3635s | let's find that |
| 3638s | I don't even have a bookmarked I |
| 3639s | followed a build guide to get this set |
| 3641s | up in the first place and have no idea |
| 3642s | what to do from here |
| 3644s | [Laughter] |
| 3647s | uh no I followed there's uh there's a |
| 3649s | video on Perry the pigs |
| 3652s | uh YouTube channel that uh it's it's |
| 3656s | probably about a month old now or so |
| 3658s | it's got 13 fun builds to play in last |
| 3660s | Epoch or something like that |
| 3663s | um they're not necessarily the most |
| 3664s | powerful but they are a lot of fun and |
| 3666s | um he had links in his |
| 3668s | uh in this video description to a bunch |
| 3671s | of builds build guides and uh I'm |
| 3673s | following one of those right now |
| 3684s | all right |
| 3689s | uh hi long time last Epoch player just |
| 3692s | installed last debug for the first time |
| 3694s | and it seems like there's no fishing |
| 3696s | please clarify it's an oversight from |
| 3698s | the dev team I I mean fishing is so like |
| 3702s | 2003 right come on if we're gonna be |
| 3706s | like modern animal cultivation system I |
| 3709s | feel like like we need we need to |
| 3711s | address modern problems with these |
| 3714s | um and and the current population of |
| 3716s | bees in the world is is dwindling at a |
| 3720s | rate that's not sustainable so B |
| 3722s | cultivation farming is is much more |
| 3726s | important than fishing I think uh so if |
| 3729s | we were going to do anything like that I |
| 3731s | think that would be would be a much more |
| 3733s | responsible choice |
| 3740s | and I'm really hoping someone knows what |
| 3742s | game in a second shot spoiler |
| 3744s | right now |
| 3748s | uh a serious answer though we like |
| 3752s | um secondary uh in in-game activities |
| 3756s | like like fishing and stuff like that is |
| 3758s | is something we'd love to add |
| 3760s | um and I I would be surprised if nothing |
| 3761s | gets added like it down the road but for |
| 3764s | now it's just um out of scope for base |
| 3766s | lunch |
| 3767s | unfortunately |
| 3768s | this is a cool item it's a cool item |
| 3770s | I'll talk to that in a second |
| 3771s | [Music] |
| 3772s | um |
| 3773s | Master Sword asks I'm curious how does |
| 3776s | the devs view the fourth grade Master |
| 3778s | going forward do you feel the fortune |
| 3780s | identifies primarily as melee throwing |
| 3782s | or minion class Mastery great yeah |
| 3784s | thanks very best thanks for having |
| 3786s | patience with me and my Forge guard |
| 3788s | increase I think it's a really |
| 3790s | interesting class so um |
| 3792s | I I think there's what am I doing here |
| 3794s | I'm gonna sort this we're gonna come in |
| 3795s | here |
| 3798s | foreign |
| 3800s | it's an interesting thing because |
| 3802s | there's throwing minion minion melee |
| 3806s | melee |
| 3808s | like |
| 3809s | there's only one throwing skill here but |
| 3811s | like |
| 3813s | um there's another there's another |
| 3814s | throwing seal right here like that that |
| 3816s | has a lot of synergies with Forge guard |
| 3818s | and yeah so it's a little bit of uh |
| 3821s | where does it belong Mastery I think |
| 3823s | that's a fair question |
| 3827s | um and then clicked on the wrong one I'm |
| 3829s | like that doesn't look right I think |
| 3831s | primarily the focus is melee |
| 3835s | um and I think a lot of the we the |
| 3838s | things we try and build into the |
| 3840s | throwing and Minion Play styles that go |
| 3842s | along with it it incorporate some melee |
| 3845s | elements to it so like a lot of the like |
| 3848s | four four strike I think encapsulates is |
| 3850s | perfectly actually because it is |
| 3851s | primarily a melee attack but it |
| 3853s | generates minions as well as a secondary |
| 3855s | effect and then manifest armor yes it's |
| 3858s | a minion class but you can have it scale |
| 3860s | directly off of your ability to do melee |
| 3862s | damage |
| 3864s | um and so there's there's these things |
| 3866s | we try and incorporate from when we're |
| 3868s | dealing with other |
| 3870s | things to help you fight throwing |
| 3873s | attacks minion attacks we're trying to |
| 3875s | incorporate that back into your gear and |
| 3878s | that's actually the true theme of Forge |
| 3880s | guard is gear it's it's it's supposed to |
| 3883s | try and focus around your equipment and |
| 3886s | that's that's sort of the the core |
| 3888s | theming of Fortune |
| 3893s | and then back to this which is a cool |
| 3895s | item um someone actually asked us in the |
| 3897s | Discord recently and it's it's been |
| 3898s | around for a long time |
| 3900s | um but this item was actually added as a |
| 3902s | result of us adding unique |
| 3907s | uh geared to like um class specific gear |
| 3911s | so exsanguinous |
| 3913s | I have one |
| 3916s | probably somewhere |
| 3921s | here |
| 3929s | sangliness was added as a |
| 3932s | uh backer unique |
| 3934s | one of the first ones actually got |
| 3935s | everyone put in the game |
| 3937s | um which is why it has specialty effects |
| 3939s | that goes with it because we thought |
| 3940s | that would be sustainable initially |
| 3942s | um |
| 3943s | so excited as a support unique and then |
| 3946s | we added in class specific |
| 3949s | um Helm chest Relic slots uh and they |
| 3952s | did not want it to become a class |
| 3953s | specific unique but we still wanted to |
| 3955s | give acolyte a quick and easy route into |
| 3959s | the low life |
| 3961s | um |
| 3962s | that low life build archetype so shred |
| 3965s | obscurity is the the the the the little |
| 3968s | brother little sibling of extanguinous |
| 3971s | specifically designed to be |
| 3973s | um a little bit a little bit weaker a |
| 3975s | little bit harder to get a little easier |
| 3976s | to get sorry and |
| 3978s | um |
| 3979s | specific to accolade |
| 3983s | fun facts |
| 3985s | because we don't need them |
| 3987s | same with the same with this it's always |
| 3989s | going on the ground because I'm terrible |
| 3992s | just the worst |
| 3994s | like how could you |
| 3996s | All Right Moving On |
| 4007s | cell collector please |
| 4011s | please be nice about other games in chat |
| 4015s | uh or just don't see anything about them |
| 4018s | if you don't want to be nice as someone |
| 4020s | who hasn't caught up on Ellie for about |
| 4022s | a year and an active Poe player since |
| 4025s | beta what would you recommend class |
| 4027s | build archetype to get a feel for What |
| 4029s | Les ebook is wanting to be sorry it |
| 4031s | doesn't make sense no I understand that |
| 4032s | fully |
| 4033s | um it's a really tough question to |
| 4035s | answer because people play Poe so |
| 4037s | differently in some cases so it's hard |
| 4038s | to tell what you like and what you find |
| 4040s | fun |
| 4041s | um my advice on this is is kind of going |
| 4044s | to be a lack of advice which I think is |
| 4045s | actually |
| 4046s | very intentional so um |
| 4049s | what I would suggest is go to the |
| 4052s | character select screen and pick the |
| 4054s | character you think |
| 4056s | looks the most fun just like this the |
| 4059s | style that you think hey that that looks |
| 4061s | cool |
| 4063s | um and then |
| 4065s | uh as you're playing just try out as |
| 4067s | many skills as you can don't be afraid |
| 4069s | to respect your skills as you're |
| 4070s | leveling they'll catch up don't worry I |
| 4072s | know it seems like it's really punishing |
| 4074s | it's really not believe me on this one |
| 4077s | um |
| 4078s | just just like experiment try stuff out |
| 4081s | see what see what you like see what's |
| 4082s | fun go for that build |
| 4085s | um |
| 4086s | chances of it of you getting stuck is |
| 4088s | extremely low |
| 4091s | um and I guess this ties back into what |
| 4093s | I was saying a little earlier about |
| 4095s | um generally appropriate seeming things |
| 4097s | working out better than off-the-wall |
| 4099s | builds and for the most part so like try |
| 4103s | to |
| 4104s | um |
| 4105s | if you pick a sentinel |
| 4107s | try to pick something like that fits in |
| 4110s | with General Sentinel themes |
| 4112s | like |
| 4113s | physical damage throwing damage |
| 4116s | um going up pure minion build right out |
| 4119s | of the gate on a void night is probably |
| 4120s | not gonna work because there's no minion |
| 4122s | skills in void night you know like it's |
| 4124s | just just don't go too crazy |
| 4127s | um try and pick something that seems |
| 4129s | thematically appropriate to the class |
| 4130s | you're playing and you'll be fine |
| 4133s | and you'll probably have more fun than |
| 4134s | trying to follow a specific build |
| 4137s | um |
| 4138s | because you're |
| 4139s | able to experiment and and just just |
| 4142s | learn what's available by by |
| 4144s | experiencing it |
| 4147s | it's pretty forgiving that's what I'm |
| 4148s | getting at |
| 4152s | and you can't always transition the |
| 4154s | build into a |
| 4156s | um another build later on there's |
| 4157s | competitive builds for every single |
| 4159s | Mastery class so it's you won't be stuck |
| 4161s | no matter what you choose |
| 4164s | oh there's a bug it's the trail going up |
| 4166s | into the sky |
| 4168s | nailed it |
| 4170s | it's funny funny hammer |
| 4173s | oh that could be |
| 4176s | that could be interesting right there |
| 4179s | looky what we found |
| 4182s | we've been looking for a weapon to go |
| 4184s | into our uh |
| 4186s | to tack on to our |
| 4189s | um 1lp spear |
| 4195s | the shock's not great |
| 4202s | it's not bad |
| 4207s | I might do that I might do that one |
| 4211s | are there any plans on incentivizing the |
| 4214s | arena more at the moment I feel XP is uh |
| 4217s | a bragging right so the only reason to |
| 4218s | push everything yeah it's |
| 4220s | it's also just something that people |
| 4221s | like to do |
| 4223s | um it's not a game mode that we want to |
| 4228s | um |
| 4229s | I think if if between the two of |
| 4232s | monolith and Arena if one of them had to |
| 4234s | be more efficient and |
| 4238s | um like to play if you're just going to |
| 4239s | like |
| 4240s | uh ignore how fun anything is to play |
| 4243s | and just be like what's the most |
| 4243s | efficient way to play for uh for gearing |
| 4247s | um having that be monolith over arena is |
| 4251s | is where we'd like that to if we're if |
| 4253s | one of them has to be better model is |
| 4255s | going to be better |
| 4256s | um ideally we make everything as evenly |
| 4259s | as possible to to get gear from but the |
| 4262s | only way to really do that is to make |
| 4264s | gear drip fit on a time-based system |
| 4266s | instead of an actual gameplay based |
| 4267s | system and that's just terrible |
| 4273s | and I swear that wasn't a shot at a |
| 4275s | specific game |
| 4277s | uh are all end game systems going to be |
| 4279s | uncapped no I don't like the the best |
| 4283s | content you can be doing |
| 4285s | um should be so hard it get a hardest |
| 4287s | gun that you can do |
| 4288s | no |
| 4291s | uh as an avid arpg fan but someone who |
| 4295s | hasn't caught up on Le for over a year |
| 4297s | what would you recommend to class build |
| 4299s | architect to get a feel for Ellie I |
| 4300s | think it's maybe the same |
| 4303s | it was same if I haven't answered your |
| 4305s | question yet uh I apologize I am a |
| 4307s | little behind I think |
| 4309s | uh so the three unfinished Masters which |
| 4311s | one is the farthest longest development |
| 4312s | Falconer warlocker remaster Rune Master |
| 4314s | is the furthest along and I know uh I |
| 4317s | just said that there's literally nothing |
| 4318s | implemented with it yeah nothing is |
| 4320s | implemented for any of the three missing |
| 4322s | Masters yet at all |
| 4341s | master's like |
| 4343s | five percent done and the other two are |
| 4347s | point one percent done |
| 4355s | real early |
| 4357s | real early |
| 4363s | all right uh have your team had any |
| 4366s | thoughts on any DLC classes you would |
| 4368s | like to add in the future uh or any you |
| 4370s | think would be cool yeah absolutely |
| 4372s | um so we we don't call it DLC really |
| 4375s | because it's just gonna be the game |
| 4376s | updating it'll just a new version of the |
| 4377s | game |
| 4379s | um but yes we have several uh new |
| 4382s | Mastery classes that we plan to add to |
| 4385s | the game several new base classes that |
| 4388s | we've we've ideated a little bit on that |
| 4389s | we've said hey that would be cool |
| 4391s | um I can't tell you what those would be |
| 4394s | possibly because I mean it's a long ways |
| 4396s | off it'll be post 1.0 big time uh and I |
| 4400s | I would say if you if you've got an idea |
| 4403s | of something that you might like to see |
| 4404s | in that category chances are we've |
| 4406s | thought about it and it's been on the |
| 4408s | list |
| 4409s | for a few years |
| 4411s | um the list of of class of potential |
| 4415s | Mastery classes and potential uh base |
| 4418s | classes that we've thought about adding |
| 4420s | is pretty exhaustive to what I've seen |
| 4423s | in |
| 4425s | Fantasy games in general uh not just |
| 4428s | video games |
| 4431s | everywhere so yeah there's there's a lot |
| 4433s | of things we've talked about and |
| 4434s | considered |
| 4435s | um |
| 4436s | laughs |
| 4440s | woohoo |
| 4445s | and I think you can look at the uh clear |
| 4449s | gaps in some of the uh the archetypes |
| 4452s | that just aren't there at all to see oh |
| 4454s | yeah this item's so cool this is this is |
| 4456s | the one that I've been using I actually |
| 4458s | found a 2lp version of this on my online |
| 4461s | character that I was playing uh Center |
| 4463s | strike build that wasn't using this and |
| 4465s | I found a TLP version and I switched to |
| 4467s | using this and uh We've almost got |
| 4470s | almost got the uh |
| 4472s | um temporal sanctum dungeon implemented |
| 4474s | in multiplayer and as soon as it's in oh |
| 4476s | I'm making it legendary |
| 4478s | prepped I've got I've got a relic I uh |
| 4481s | exalted Relic ready and everything |
| 4484s | all right yeah the class you can see |
| 4487s | like there's there's clear gaps look |
| 4489s | look to the gaps that you're like why |
| 4490s | isn't this in the game oh maybe we were |
| 4493s | uh waiting to add it down the road you |
| 4495s | know you know |
| 4500s | are there any plans for uh future MTX |
| 4503s | for different Druid forms or it's not |
| 4506s | possible it is possible we definitely |
| 4508s | got ideas it's a big one that's that's a |
| 4510s | very |
| 4512s | um |
| 4513s | labor-intensive MTX bundle |
| 4517s | um |
| 4518s | it would like it's it's something we'd |
| 4520s | love to do we don't have any that are |
| 4522s | set up for our initial drop of ntx I can |
| 4525s | tell you that for sure there won't be |
| 4526s | any of those showing up in the first |
| 4527s | batch |
| 4529s | um |
| 4530s | things like recolors are easier to do |
| 4532s | but like a whole new like uh whole new |
| 4536s | form holy model animations all that |
| 4539s | stuff that's a huge ask |
| 4541s | um and and probably won't uh I don't |
| 4544s | want to say I don't give timelines on it |
| 4545s | but that would be a a long ways down the |
| 4548s | road type thing to show up probably like |
| 4551s | it would in order to be |
| 4554s | um cost effective to make something like |
| 4556s | that compared to uh like a a weapon |
| 4560s | that's on fire |
| 4561s | um |
| 4563s | it would have to be pretty expensive by |
| 4565s | comparison to make up for that the time |
| 4567s | sink for it |
| 4568s | um so until we have more things in there |
| 4571s | I think |
| 4573s | um |
| 4574s | it'll it'll be a little bit of a delay a |
| 4576s | delayed feature |
| 4584s | all right |
| 4586s | hi long-term alcohol user here |
| 4589s | cool |
| 4591s | um if a train from Boston Massachusetts |
| 4593s | departs at 1400 hours with the speed of |
| 4596s | 100 kilometers an hour and a train from |
| 4597s | Phoenix Arizona to parts of 1430 what |
| 4600s | speed |
| 4601s | uh with a speed of two 120 kilometers |
| 4603s | per hour |
| 4605s | uh will you add more Mana recovery means |
| 4607s | probably not |
| 4610s | um |
| 4611s | but I mean what are the chances that |
| 4613s | those two trains would depart at the |
| 4614s | exact same time |
| 4615s | at those exact speeds because they |
| 4617s | probably start at a slower speed and |
| 4620s | then build up to it |
| 4631s | um |
| 4634s | and and and so like will you add more |
| 4636s | Mana recovery means it's a question uh |
| 4639s | it's probably not the question you want |
| 4640s | to ask the question you probably want to |
| 4642s | ask is will you add more Mana recovery |
| 4644s | means that I can stack with current |
| 4645s | amount of recovery means to increase my |
| 4647s | overall Mana recovery potential maximum |
| 4651s | um and the answer to that question is |
| 4653s | probably not |
| 4654s | or not in a meaningful way |
| 4656s | um but the answer to the question you |
| 4658s | asked was yeah |
| 4661s | but I don't think the question you asked |
| 4662s | was what you were trying to ask |
| 4666s | and I'm only giving you a hard time |
| 4667s | about it because it's so convoluted |
| 4674s | and I don't want to stop this to read |
| 4676s | the next question |
| 4681s | uh are you going to add any new modes |
| 4684s | and will mask us be changed in any way |
| 4687s | um |
| 4688s | adding new game modes like software |
| 4691s | hardcore masks that sort of stuff uh |
| 4693s | would be nice to do will he still hurt |
| 4695s | you |
| 4699s | we'll never know uh this one |
| 4703s | thank you give me give me give me we |
| 4705s | have a unique drop rate increase |
| 4708s | experience that's pretty sweet |
| 4712s | um so one thing to note here is it says |
| 4714s | wins a fortune because this is a |
| 4715s | standard blessing |
| 4717s | um when you complete an empowered model |
| 4718s | if you get Grand blessings so the uh the |
| 4721s | lowest that they can roll on the grand |
| 4724s | blessings so the the basic version of |
| 4726s | this one |
| 4727s | um would roll up to 15 and then someone |
| 4730s | starts at 16 going up so they're always |
| 4731s | better for the grand ones even a poorly |
| 4733s | rolled one compared to a perfectly |
| 4734s | rolled one |
| 4737s | but I think we're just gonna go for |
| 4738s | experience because I want to get that |
| 4740s | experience up |
| 4745s | uh |
| 4748s | let me add more new game modes we'll |
| 4750s | mask this mode changing anyway |
| 4752s | um I I'm not 100 sure on what's gonna |
| 4754s | happen with masochist it's still a |
| 4756s | little up in the air I think the goal is |
| 4758s | to keep it as is but who knows it's |
| 4761s | um |
| 4763s | new game modes that could potentially |
| 4765s | add new ladder splits is a tricky thing |
| 4768s | to incorporate well and we're still |
| 4770s | working the best way to do that if we do |
| 4771s | it at all |
| 4773s | because a lot of the time when you add a |
| 4775s | new game mode it's not actually that |
| 4776s | hard to do |
| 4778s | um but adding support for it in |
| 4780s | secondary systems like ladders it |
| 4782s | creates a bit of a bit of a problem |
| 4785s | um |
| 4786s | once again it's that multiplicative |
| 4787s | effects |
| 4796s | really multiplayer yes |
| 4801s | anyway to one hand a two-handed shield |
| 4804s | if not any plans to have it in the game |
| 4808s | um |
| 4812s | one hand a two-handed and a shield sorry |
| 4815s | um no we don't have any plans for that |
| 4817s | at the moment |
| 4818s | um that doesn't mean it will never |
| 4819s | happen but currently that's not |
| 4821s | something we're planning I think if it |
| 4822s | did happen |
| 4824s | um |
| 4827s | there's a lot of things that uh are |
| 4830s | built into the game right now that |
| 4832s | assume that can never happen |
| 4835s | um and it would require a surprising |
| 4837s | amount of uh |
| 4839s | uh revamping and stuff to actually make |
| 4842s | that work |
| 4846s | um both from a mechanical point and a |
| 4848s | design perspective as well |
| 4850s | um |
| 4851s | so there's there's no plans right now |
| 4853s | it's possible |
| 4855s | who knows |
| 4860s | charts yes please |
| 4865s | don't forget to put Atlas default game |
| 4867s | in your question or else I probably |
| 4868s | won't answer it |
| 4873s | uh Lassie Puck ever coming to console uh |
| 4875s | hopefully that's our goal |
| 4877s | um |
| 4878s | we we definitely won't be we haven't |
| 4880s | done any work on it we don't have a dev |
| 4882s | kit we don't have a relationship with |
| 4884s | Microsoft Sony Nintendo and any any |
| 4887s | console |
| 4888s | um creators we don't have a relationship |
| 4889s | that we're fostering yet with any of |
| 4890s | them where it's it's on our radar |
| 4893s | something we'd like to do but we know |
| 4894s | it's not something that we are planning |
| 4895s | to do for one point at launch and |
| 4898s | um we're focused on that right now so |
| 4900s | once once we're launched it's something |
| 4901s | we'll look at doing but |
| 4903s | um |
| 4905s | we we haven't started on it |
| 4908s | so someday hopefully |
| 4914s | uh I know you guys have a wish list of |
| 4917s | good things to put in game are there |
| 4918s | major things in other games you |
| 4919s | specifically do not ever want to put in |
| 4921s | uh yes |
| 4926s | um |
| 4931s | I don't really want to go into that too |
| 4934s | much it's it's not |
| 4941s | no |
| 4943s | I don't know how to explain that there's |
| 4946s | there's things yes there are things that |
| 4947s | we explicitly don't want to ever put in |
| 4948s | and they're and they sometimes they'll |
| 4950s | show up in other games yes |
| 4952s | um |
| 4953s | okay here's here's an example of |
| 4954s | something |
| 4955s | um on the Fly multiple Loadout switching |
| 4958s | so being able to completely switch all |
| 4962s | of your like equipment passives active |
| 4965s | skills all those things being able to |
| 4967s | bounce between loadouts loaded to |
| 4968s | Loadout on the Fly it's in Diablo 3 we |
| 4970s | don't plan on in Lassie bug |
| 4974s | will there be multiplayer yes |
| 4978s | uh will the impending flat melee damage |
| 4982s | update include updates to explicit |
| 4984s | affixes on uniques uh eye of green for |
| 4987s | example has added Melee fire damage |
| 4989s | explicit |
| 4991s | um it can I don't think it affects that |
| 4993s | one specifically uh I could be wrong on |
| 4996s | that |
| 4997s | um it's it's one of those things where |
| 4999s | every single unique we're looking at |
| 5000s | individual bases whether or not we think |
| 5001s | it's worthwhile if the |
| 5003s | um damage type is there specific to |
| 5007s | synergize with part of the |
| 5010s | um another part of the of the unique but |
| 5012s | doesn't specifically synergize with |
| 5014s | another piece of but it's not uh |
| 5016s | specifically relating to a certain skill |
| 5017s | that already has a damage type |
| 5018s | associated with it uh |
| 5022s | then it'll probably stay |
| 5024s | I think is what it is it's it's a unique |
| 5026s | by unique basis |
| 5031s | uh do you happen to play Destiny 2 I |
| 5033s | don't I've never played Destiny 2 at all |
| 5036s | so I'm sorry I can't uh I can't answer |
| 5039s | that one I know uh there are lots of |
| 5041s | people on our team that do and uh |
| 5044s | I'm sure lots would have interesting |
| 5047s | stuff on it but sorry I don't have |
| 5048s | anything |
| 5051s | um |
| 5053s | rhymer's like typing in Discord to me |
| 5055s | over here and I'm like |
| 5056s | he's gonna finish diving one of these |
| 5057s | days but I don't know what it is I'm |
| 5058s | really concerned like I said something |
| 5060s | wrong |
| 5062s | oh never mind he's just confirming what |
| 5064s | I'm saying about ivory |
| 5066s | Irene still has fire damage |
| 5069s | um but the implicit on Irene will change |
| 5073s | yeah |
| 5075s | yeah cool |
| 5078s | um no mistakes hi short time interim in |
| 5083s | writing Departments of the new house the |
| 5085s | dragon show here |
| 5087s | oh you were you were right you're a |
| 5089s | writer on House of dragon that's cool |
| 5092s | my wife and I have been watching it very |
| 5094s | intently uh we are currently running out |
| 5096s | of idea wait |
| 5098s | I can't tell if it's a joke or not uh |
| 5100s | we're currently running out of ideas the |
| 5101s | next season and our current ones are |
| 5104s | less than kind so you're hoping to |
| 5107s | borrow some more from this game would |
| 5109s | you be admittable to that also lending |
| 5111s | your writers thanks much appreciated I |
| 5113s | think that was a joke |
| 5115s | um |
| 5117s | but I mean you can contact support and |
| 5119s | they'll get you in touch with the right |
| 5120s | person |
| 5121s | uh any plans for dual living Shields I'd |
| 5123s | love to uh there's a few things that |
| 5126s | assume you can't do that right now oh my |
| 5128s | God I'd love to |
| 5129s | that that's that's one of those things |
| 5131s | maybe all these like weird like uh dig |
| 5133s | two-handed with the shields dueling |
| 5135s | Shields |
| 5136s | um a two-handed shield all those things |
| 5139s | yeah they're cool stuff we'd love to do |
| 5141s | it I I you know one day maybe |
| 5145s | um |
| 5147s | yeah I I don't don't count any of those |
| 5150s | things out but uh don't expect them for |
| 5152s | 1.0 |
| 5155s | uh most Echoes have a lot of dead ends |
| 5158s | and are long-winded corridors learning |
| 5160s | plans to address this |
| 5161s | um so most of them are actually static |
| 5165s | Maps they're not they're not generated |
| 5167s | so there's no uh like generation |
| 5169s | algorithm to change for that |
| 5171s | um |
| 5174s | uh the dungeons |
| 5177s | is usually what what this comment is in |
| 5179s | reference to so I'm surprised there |
| 5182s | um |
| 5183s | so with regards to the models I mean |
| 5185s | we're always like updating monolith maps |
| 5187s | and adding more and trying to improve |
| 5190s | them so yes |
| 5192s | um but not specifically I'm not sure how |
| 5194s | to answer it sorry |
| 5196s | uh do you have any principles in place |
| 5199s | to either stem feature creep or improve |
| 5202s | tutorialization as more and more Cycles |
| 5204s | passes yeah I think that |
| 5207s | um |
| 5213s | the type of content that goes into |
| 5215s | Cycles will probably change as time goes |
| 5219s | on with those Cycles |
| 5221s | um to be more |
| 5222s | uh friendly to that type of issue |
| 5233s | like as we're |
| 5236s | at at launch and we start Cycles there's |
| 5239s | there's going to be this pretty big |
| 5242s | um I'd say there's gonna be this time |
| 5243s | period where we're still trying to get |
| 5245s | more content into the game because |
| 5247s | there's |
| 5248s | um yes there's a concern about content |
| 5250s | bloat in 10 years from now |
| 5252s | um but no one has that concern right now |
| 5255s | at all if anything the exact opposite |
| 5257s | everyone wants more content because |
| 5258s | there's still not enough stuff to do |
| 5259s | which which we totally understand |
| 5262s | um so the strategy for Cycles at least |
| 5264s | initially is |
| 5266s | um get stuff in making stuff that we can |
| 5268s | keep in the game long term uh |
| 5272s | uh and and and and like expands the |
| 5275s | activities that are possible |
| 5278s | um and then also designing those systems |
| 5280s | to have really |
| 5283s | good ways to um |
| 5286s | to implement Cycles relating to them in |
| 5288s | the future that don't cause a large |
| 5291s | feature creep expansion on um like uh so |
| 5295s | they don't add a lot of depth sorry they |
| 5297s | don't add a lot of complexity without |
| 5298s | adding depth |
| 5302s | that's pretty nice |
| 5309s | uh if I buy a supporter pack that allows |
| 5311s | unique creation can I hold on to it or |
| 5314s | does it have to be used in a certain |
| 5315s | amount of time |
| 5317s | um |
| 5318s | right now that's closed I think so uh |
| 5321s | unfortunately I don't think you can buy |
| 5322s | one at the moment sadly |
| 5325s | um because we're still catching up on |
| 5327s | the large large backlog uh it was much |
| 5329s | more popular than we expected |
| 5331s | and uh we gotta do a little catch up |
| 5334s | there but um |
| 5336s | we |
| 5338s | are so right now we're trying to get as |
| 5341s | many of them done as we can we do have |
| 5343s | some people who have requested not to do |
| 5345s | it until launch that's totally fine and |
| 5347s | we're respecting that and they're we're |
| 5348s | holding on to them until launch that's |
| 5349s | no problem |
| 5351s | um |
| 5353s | and I mean if you wanted to wait even |
| 5355s | longer after that I I don't see a |
| 5357s | problem with it there'd probably be some |
| 5358s | point where we'd go okay like |
| 5362s | time's running out you kind of gotta get |
| 5364s | on this |
| 5366s | um |
| 5367s | but no it's not some like |
| 5369s | uh buy it next day you get a phone call |
| 5371s | can you have 10 seconds to get your idea |
| 5372s | in or your bus no no no no no no no no |
| 5379s | what did we drop down over here oh it's |
| 5381s | a cool item |
| 5391s | makes you stronger when you're high |
| 5392s | health and helps you get back up to High |
| 5394s | Health when you're low health |
| 5396s | I like it |
| 5399s | oh if Ellie did come out on Console what |
| 5402s | would you guys make players oh that's |
| 5406s | loud |
| 5408s | uh if Ellie did come out on Console |
| 5411s | would you guys make players |
| 5414s | PC MTX shared to console |
| 5418s | uh oh I see what you're saying I I can't |
| 5422s | answer that question right now |
| 5424s | um |
| 5425s | because I just have no idea there might |
| 5427s | be some technical limitations there I |
| 5429s | think if I was gonna say a likely goal |
| 5433s | in that scenario would be to make |
| 5436s | everything |
| 5437s | cross-platform compatible that we could |
| 5441s | um whether that goal will be possible or |
| 5444s | not I don't know but |
| 5446s | um I think the goal the goal would be to |
| 5449s | be able to share that MTX if possible |
| 5452s | I just want to stressed that I have no |
| 5454s | idea if that's possible or not |
| 5457s | uh all right uh thank you son for the |
| 5459s | sub much appreciated glad to have you |
| 5461s | here hope you're having fun maybe learn |
| 5463s | something new |
| 5465s | because there's not much else to do |
| 5472s | all right |
| 5473s | next question |
| 5476s | did anyone did anyone figure out the |
| 5478s | reference I was asking about the Shell |
| 5480s | with the tiny wings Big Red Shell Tiny |
| 5482s | Wings |
| 5483s | it's a weapon from a beloved's RPG |
| 5490s | jrpg |
| 5497s | was the first collaboration ooh it was |
| 5500s | one of the first collaborations that I |
| 5501s | know of between two |
| 5504s | juggernauts of the gaming industry |
| 5509s | spawned an entire franchise of games |
| 5513s | with the most popular or even character |
| 5516s | ever |
| 5522s | was the possibly first time you could |
| 5524s | play as that the main character's |
| 5526s | traditional |
| 5528s | Prime villain |
| 5533s | Anton eight |
| 5535s | thank you very much what's up welcome |
| 5536s | welcome |
| 5539s | glad you're here glad you're having fun |
| 5542s | hanging out relaxing |
| 5545s | we don't have a pool so you can't hang |
| 5546s | out outside it |
| 5548s | all right uh would you guys please make |
| 5552s | the Biden's damage conversion apply to |
| 5554s | serpent strike and Javelin so I can get |
| 5556s | Electrify Prime list to work okay real |
| 5559s | question will you have dual class |
| 5560s | uniques where you can think still cost |
| 5562s | you so like uh uniques that are only be |
| 5566s | a little by two classes simultaneously |
| 5567s | we do have the capability for that |
| 5570s | um I think so far we've intentionally |
| 5572s | steered away from it |
| 5574s | um |
| 5576s | but we do have the functionality for |
| 5578s | that so maybe |
| 5586s | ow |
| 5588s | those are nice boots |
| 5593s | not my favorite base for blue but boot |
| 5595s | bases means less and less than most of |
| 5597s | their slots |
| 5602s | are developers happy with how easy |
| 5605s | difficult it is to reach max level in |
| 5606s | last Epoch no well |
| 5609s | um |
| 5611s | content happy overall yes I'm gonna |
| 5614s | change it also yes |
| 5616s | um |
| 5617s | I think it'll be |
| 5619s | the stretching the 95 to 100 range |
| 5623s | is likely going to happen |
| 5627s | um and not hugely so but it's a little |
| 5630s | too easy to get a level 100 character at |
| 5632s | the moment the amount of power you get |
| 5634s | in those last five levels is almost |
| 5635s | completely insignificant you're usually |
| 5637s | getting filler passives you're you're |
| 5641s | usually |
| 5643s | um you're not there's not much you're |
| 5644s | getting out of it there's no new items |
| 5646s | that have become able to be used due to |
| 5648s | level requirements |
| 5650s | um you know there's not a lot happening |
| 5652s | there it's mostly uh a bragging rights |
| 5654s | thing to get in that hitting that level |
| 5655s | 100 mark |
| 5660s | foreign |
| 5666s | we're not looking for a Diablo 2 level |
| 5670s | leveling curve |
| 5671s | um that's a little too extreme |
| 5674s | but um |
| 5677s | definitely harder than it is now |
| 5680s | and specifically looking at stretching |
| 5681s | the the the tail of that not |
| 5685s | um |
| 5686s | the whole thing |
| 5690s | I don't know if I just like missed if |
| 5691s | I'm like that far behind on the |
| 5694s | questions or if oh someone oh so close |
| 5696s | you got the name wrong |
| 5700s | oh for so close |
| 5702s | you've got the right game but it's the |
| 5704s | wrong item |
| 5706s | uh hi first year math students short |
| 5709s | time last Epoch enjoyer here |
| 5712s | glad to have you here |
| 5718s | fun fact uh computer science degrees are |
| 5720s | math degrees in Disguise so |
| 5725s | probably know uh all the classes you're |
| 5728s | taking I've probably taken let's have |
| 5730s | fun with those |
| 5731s | uh another last debug question for you |
| 5734s | I'm trying to prove that the whole one |
| 5736s | oh okay yeah |
| 5738s | uh I do not know the answer to this |
| 5741s | question off the top of my head yeah I |
| 5743s | shouldn't have bragged about taking the |
| 5744s | same classes until I read the whole |
| 5745s | question uh the problem statement |
| 5748s | suggests using binomial theorem but I've |
| 5750s | had a loss on how to apply it anyways |
| 5752s | will there be another gold sinks that |
| 5754s | the camp been gambling thanks yes there |
| 5756s | is and there already is another gold |
| 5757s | sink other than gambling which is the |
| 5759s | vaults of Uncertain fate which is um |
| 5762s | I I think we'd like more than that as |
| 5764s | well so adding more on top of that one |
| 5767s | is is the is the plan is the goal but um |
| 5770s | yeah we already have more than just |
| 5771s | gambling |
| 5773s | gamblings I wouldn't really even |
| 5774s | consider one because it's more of a |
| 5776s | leveling tool than an in-game gear |
| 5778s | acquisition tool |
| 5780s | because the gear you get out of gambling |
| 5782s | um gold gambling is not very good |
| 5786s | because it has um |
| 5790s | uh it has lower chances for for things |
| 5793s | to be good on it like it has less less |
| 5795s | forging potential it comes with |
| 5797s | um |
| 5798s | something else too |
| 5800s | maybe it's just Fortune potential |
| 5805s | but I just like go the wrong way |
| 5806s | completely |
| 5810s | let's just check let's make sure |
| 5815s | I should know this |
| 5822s | we're we're gonna we're gonna go the |
| 5824s | other way |
| 5827s | any boxes to jump to |
| 5830s | foreign |
| 5835s | [Music] |
| 5839s | it's not a Koopa shell |
| 5842s | it is Super Mario RPG legend of the |
| 5844s | Seven Stars it's not heavy Trooper shell |
| 5846s | no |
| 5853s | uh I I don't know what grpg the jrpg is |
| 5856s | Super Mario RPG Legend Seven Stars was |
| 5858s | released for the Super Nintendo actually |
| 5859s | after the N64 had already come out |
| 5864s | um and spawned the game franchise Paper |
| 5867s | Mario where you could play Bowser Peach |
| 5869s | as part of your uh Team it's part of |
| 5872s | your party introduced new characters the |
| 5874s | franchise such as mallow and Geno or |
| 5876s | Jenna depending on how you pronounce it |
| 5880s | was a sheer masterpiece |
| 5886s | the item in front of you is |
| 5889s | not heavy Chupa shell |
| 5892s | uh is it intentional that the character |
| 5893s | sometimes goes left after completing an |
| 5895s | echo |
| 5897s | um no but it is known why it happens |
| 5901s | um |
| 5902s | that's basically the entry point to the |
| 5907s | portal is listed as the last known |
| 5910s | movement position |
| 5912s | uh when you go through the portal and so |
| 5915s | you're always and it's always to the |
| 5918s | left of where the echo World spawns |
| 5922s | um so your character tries to just move |
| 5924s | to the nearest Point |
| 5926s | uh that on on the island that intersects |
| 5928s | with that with that movement point where |
| 5930s | the Zone was so it always goes left |
| 5933s | I'm sure it'll be fixed it's it's a bug |
| 5939s | uh will you add a search bar for Echoes |
| 5941s | especially when re-rolling uh rewards |
| 5944s | it's quite the task to look over all of |
| 5945s | them we actually intentionally don't |
| 5947s | have that at the moment but uh it is |
| 5949s | possible that we could add something |
| 5950s | like that best to put uh requests like |
| 5953s | that on the forums |
| 5957s | well since it's not a new request |
| 5960s | that that is a frequently Asked thing |
| 5962s | Physics degree are also masteries yes |
| 5965s | it's true about the semester in a |
| 5967s | nuclear lab yeah |
| 5970s | I actually started going for a Physics |
| 5972s | degree and then was like wait a minute I |
| 5974s | love these programming classes |
| 5982s | lazy shell |
| 5984s | there we are |
| 5988s | way to go here we are |
| 5995s | here is a little teaser of some some |
| 5999s | content that's being added in next match |
| 6008s | foreign |
| 6009s | [Music] |
| 6015s | don't know what happened there |
| 6028s | cool |
| 6031s | all right hi shift Barber |
| 6035s | uh at Rogue razor Barbershop here no |
| 6038s | questions regarding Ellie just letting |
| 6040s | you know that we have our 95 discount if |
| 6041s | you ever visit one of our shops and |
| 6043s | complete shave off thanks |
| 6045s | [Laughter] |
| 6048s | uh do you guys ever uh add a profile |
| 6051s | viewer on your website lets you view |
| 6053s | people's characters that's that's an |
| 6056s | um an interesting feature request that |
| 6057s | we we have got a fair few times and |
| 6058s | considered uh we'd love to have |
| 6061s | something like that in place |
| 6063s | um it's not a 1.0 |
| 6066s | goal for us at the moment |
| 6073s | spiky bees yeah spiky bees |
| 6076s | oh my gosh I caught up |
| 6078s | just |
| 6095s | that's right I cut up |
| 6099s | don't forget about last default game |
| 6101s | with a question if you want me to answer |
| 6102s | I see this one when is multiplayer |
| 6103s | supposed to come for us to play with I |
| 6105s | know suspend asked but I only joined now |
| 6107s | we don't have a set date for it I've |
| 6109s | seen your follow-up question that you |
| 6110s | thought it was supposed to be early |
| 6111s | September that was never announced and |
| 6114s | was unfortunately propagated as |
| 6116s | misinformation by many people |
| 6119s | um but it was never said that |
| 6122s | multiplayer would be coming early |
| 6123s | September |
| 6126s | um I actually really explicitly said |
| 6127s | that was not the case so many dozen |
| 6130s | times |
| 6132s | um |
| 6133s | but I didn't find all the times it was |
| 6135s | said I was like lurking social media |
| 6138s | and like forums and everything trying to |
| 6140s | correct everything I could find of that |
| 6141s | for quite a while there |
| 6148s | um yeah it's it's work in progress we've |
| 6150s | got our community tested program up and |
| 6152s | running that's going fantastic |
| 6155s | um there's still a lot to implement |
| 6156s | though there's still a lot of stuff |
| 6157s | that's like if if we opened it up now |
| 6160s | every the response would overwhelmingly |
| 6162s | be oh my God what are you doing why'd |
| 6164s | you turn it on right now this is not |
| 6166s | even anywhere near complete |
| 6169s | um |
| 6170s | so there's still stuff like like you |
| 6171s | can't create legendary items yet |
| 6174s | um you can't none of the dungeons are |
| 6177s | playable fully |
| 6179s | um |
| 6180s | I don't think the arena the arena |
| 6182s | probably works that's one of the first |
| 6183s | things we put in actually |
| 6187s | empowered monoliths work |
| 6192s | um |
| 6203s | foreign |
| 6205s | and if you do get into the community |
| 6207s | tested program to do that please don't |
| 6208s | expect a |
| 6210s | polished finished product |
| 6212s | there's a lot there's a lot still uh |
| 6214s | still needs polishing |
| 6218s | but the important stuff is is really the |
| 6220s | important stuff that we've been working |
| 6222s | on and focusing on things like |
| 6223s | transition times and should stability |
| 6228s | um you see the term matchmaking a lot in |
| 6230s | our in our updates |
| 6231s | um and what they're actually referring |
| 6233s | to is the the game server's abilities to |
| 6235s | place you in the correct Zone |
| 6238s | um the correct instance of the Zone with |
| 6240s | the right people on the Fly quickly |
| 6244s | so being able to say like okay you've |
| 6246s | gone to this new zone go find the server |
| 6249s | out there that has the rest of your |
| 6250s | party in it and put you in that same |
| 6253s | server |
| 6254s | properly |
| 6256s | um and that's that's a huge portion of |
| 6258s | getting multiple to work smoothly |
| 6260s | um and it's actually going really well |
| 6261s | which is great |
| 6267s | you found me for anything specific no |
| 6269s | I'm just trying to complete uh all the |
| 6272s | monoliths I don't have because I'm a |
| 6273s | terrible terrible cheater I don't have |
| 6276s | um oh that's what I get I don't have any |
| 6279s | blessings for two of them still so I'm |
| 6281s | I'm just trying to get finish up |
| 6282s | blessings |
| 6284s | um |
| 6287s | basically |
| 6292s | glad I could catch one of your dead |
| 6294s | streams glad to have you here slam sauce |
| 6296s | uh loving your game quick question are |
| 6300s | you planning on changing hitboxes hammer |
| 6302s | throw often goes through spiders and |
| 6303s | such certain enemies not being able to |
| 6305s | take damage but certain well certain |
| 6308s | animations like the rat's mid-jump yes |
| 6310s | this has been addressed and is fixed for |
| 6312s | next match |
| 6314s | um we've implemented a new system for |
| 6316s | throwing abilities where they |
| 6318s | um |
| 6319s | have two colliders one for |
| 6323s | um |
| 6324s | terrain Collision detection and one for |
| 6327s | enemy Collision detection and so they |
| 6330s | they do better in small in tighter |
| 6332s | tighter areas |
| 6334s | um so they they exist a little bit nicer |
| 6337s | it still will like it throws directly |
| 6339s | into a wall it'll still explode but it's |
| 6342s | a little friendlier that way |
| 6344s | um |
| 6347s | and it's got a little bigger hitbox so |
| 6349s | it hits things like smaller smaller |
| 6351s | animals it hits easier |
| 6354s | um and then on top of that with regards |
| 6355s | to the |
| 6357s | mid-jump |
| 6359s | question we've uh we we had a problem |
| 6362s | that required us to make things immune |
| 6365s | while jumping |
| 6368s | um and we fixed that problem for the |
| 6370s | most part well we didn't fix that |
| 6372s | problem but we |
| 6374s | um found a workaround to it by |
| 6376s | um making it so things can take damage |
| 6378s | while jumping and their health can go to |
| 6381s | zero well jumping but they can't die |
| 6382s | until they land so they'll |
| 6385s | um they'll like die in midair but |
| 6388s | they'll still finish the jump and then |
| 6390s | they'll drop gear once they land |
| 6392s | um |
| 6395s | so you can kill stuff in mid-air now |
| 6397s | well you will be able to next match |
| 6401s | uh |
| 6403s | um should have been asked before but I |
| 6404s | have not seen it answered personally |
| 6406s | when could we expect trading to come |
| 6408s | sometime after 1.0 there will be a |
| 6410s | method by which items can be transferred |
| 6413s | between two players |
| 6414s | in 0.9 when that comes out |
| 6424s | thank you |
| 6427s | if I de-specialize a skill we look at |
| 6430s | the same XP bonus that removing a point |
| 6432s | does uh yep |
| 6437s | so the way it works is the amount of XP |
| 6439s | bone like there's there's basically a |
| 6441s | big a big table that says okay when a |
| 6444s | skill is at this level and your |
| 6446s | character level is this level |
| 6449s | um what's the experience gain rate of |
| 6451s | that of that uh ability and |
| 6455s | um |
| 6455s | so like as your character level goes up |
| 6459s | So like |
| 6460s | um a level 10 character with a level |
| 6462s | five ability |
| 6464s | will level up will that ability will |
| 6467s | level up slower than a level 50 |
| 6469s | character with a level five ability at |
| 6471s | level 50 that ability levels up faster |
| 6473s | because you're a higher level so it |
| 6474s | catches up to your expected ability |
| 6476s | level faster |
| 6479s | I don't have that table on me I'm sorry |
| 6488s | okay okay let's put this way |
| 6492s | hmm |
| 6496s | I hope I didn't miss anything but I |
| 6499s | probably did |
| 6500s | uh hi a philosophy minor and |
| 6504s | coincidentally Amazon warehouse employee |
| 6506s | I feel like you don't uh have all of |
| 6509s | these |
| 6510s | um |
| 6511s | jobs and or uh School enrollment titles |
| 6515s | that that you might be saying might be a |
| 6517s | little bit misleading just I'm sorry if |
| 6519s | that's offensive but you know I'm |
| 6521s | speculating oh I love I love exalteds |
| 6523s | that only have a single epics oh I love |
| 6525s | it when that happens the good ethics too |
| 6529s | that's cool that's a cool item |
| 6533s | um |
| 6534s | get to the question here uh what is the |
| 6536s | point of RPG games they're a lot of fun |
| 6541s | to enjoy yourself you just aimlessly run |
| 6543s | over and over tell us it's killing the |
| 6545s | same monsters in order to get the same |
| 6546s | loot to make your characters run the |
| 6549s | same tiles that's faster and get more |
| 6550s | loot to kill faster uh this is reminding |
| 6552s | me of a real life job except I am a |
| 6554s | monster to be slain and it's not a |
| 6556s | player |
| 6559s | yeah I think the uh |
| 6563s | I I don't know who's to say if you're |
| 6565s | actually asking serious questions or |
| 6566s | joking here at this point but I'll |
| 6568s | answer like it's a real question |
| 6570s | um I I think it's different for everyone |
| 6572s | I think that's something that's really |
| 6573s | cool about games in general is that they |
| 6575s | don't necessarily have to have a |
| 6577s | specific point |
| 6579s | um to be fun to be enjoyable and |
| 6583s | um I think what we try and do is create |
| 6585s | an environment for people to have to |
| 6587s | create their own fun experiences in |
| 6590s | um and less about |
| 6593s | uh let's start trying to create the |
| 6596s | experiences ourselves but yeah creating |
| 6598s | the tools to get people to make their |
| 6600s | own experiences that are fun and |
| 6602s | um |
| 6603s | a lot of times that that simply just |
| 6605s | comes from like |
| 6607s | tension and resolution so having having |
| 6611s | a goal and seeing if you're able to |
| 6613s | complete it or not and then whether or |
| 6615s | not you're successful |
| 6623s | a lot of that's self-created |
| 6625s | but um |
| 6627s | yeah it's a lot of fun I think |
| 6630s | that's what I'm here for |
| 6634s | I love those moments when you're like |
| 6637s | I can't really play hardcore in these |
| 6638s | games very much anymore just because of |
| 6640s | the time but like |
| 6642s | you just |
| 6644s | like when you just barely don't die you |
| 6646s | survive and you finish the boss fight |
| 6648s | you've been trying to do for a while |
| 6649s | this one looks really cool it's a lot of |
| 6650s | fun |
| 6652s | the accomplish from the achievements |
| 6654s | overcoming a challenge |
| 6657s | all right I'm new to the game wondering |
| 6660s | if a full Thorns builds Bible end game |
| 6662s | yeah I Define viable and probably not |
| 6666s | very great uh if so what classes should |
| 6669s | it be for I think I think the best one |
| 6671s | right now is druid |
| 6673s | I think |
| 6675s | um |
| 6677s | but it's probably doable |
| 6680s | in Sentinel as well |
| 6682s | somewhere but it's singing |
| 6685s | if you'd best go ask one of the |
| 6688s | um big streamers or go asking our |
| 6690s | Discord some of you'll help you out a |
| 6691s | little bit better |
| 6692s | is it a known issue probably uh that the |
| 6696s | alignment node and the Paladin tree goes |
| 6697s | up uh gets used up instantly when you |
| 6700s | have holy Aura equipped even though it |
| 6702s | does not heal |
| 6704s | uh probably I don't have a full list of |
| 6706s | the of the nodes it's probably uh just |
| 6709s | as like on using a healing ability and |
| 6712s | it has some healing tag on it that's |
| 6714s | causing the trigger |
| 6716s | uh what's the captain's ring for been |
| 6719s | holding on to it just in case |
| 6721s | um it was a bit of a it's a bit of a |
| 6723s | tutorialization moment |
| 6725s | um because that one has |
| 6727s | I think stun avoidance on it |
| 6731s | I think |
| 6735s | that's what it is yeah exactly but it's |
| 6737s | it's designed as like a hey this stat |
| 6740s | exists and it's something you might want |
| 6741s | to pay attention to type tutorialization |
| 6743s | moment is because kind of kind of what |
| 6745s | that's |
| 6746s | uh trying to imply |
| 6749s | but yes if you don't know it's an item |
| 6751s | that can only be found at a very |
| 6752s | specific point early on in the campaign |
| 6759s | I hang potatoes from people's garages |
| 6762s | and my wife aligns the chakras of number |
| 6765s | two pencils we're in the market for a |
| 6768s | two million dollar home what's your |
| 6769s | favorite RPG experience |
| 6773s | this is just great |
| 6776s | is this some Trend that I'm just like |
| 6777s | oblivious to because I love it oh |
| 6783s | uh |
| 6785s | what's my favorite |
| 6788s | other games I I like like coming from |
| 6791s | the I think if you're talking about |
| 6792s | their games specifically it's Diablo 2 |
| 6794s | is my |
| 6796s | it's my Once and Future Love |
| 6800s | um |
| 6801s | and I |
| 6802s | yeah it's just it's wonderful |
| 6815s | specific experience the first time I |
| 6818s | killed Ubers in Diablo 2. I remember it |
| 6821s | very clearly |
| 6824s | um |
| 6825s | because I had |
| 6827s | failed to prepare properly the first |
| 6829s | time |
| 6830s | and ended up having to ditch the run so |
| 6833s | I'd spent all this time getting the keys |
| 6834s | and Lilith is a pain and I'd like it's |
| 6837s | been so long trying to get Lilith farmed |
| 6840s | and I was I was young enough that I |
| 6842s | wasn't really I don't know why I didn't |
| 6843s | consider it at the time but like I would |
| 6845s | open |
| 6846s | like multiples I would open like one |
| 6849s | portal in in each game trying to get the |
| 6851s | right portal next like so I'd get three |
| 6853s | keys open a portal and try to get three |
| 6855s | keys open up what I'm trying to do so I |
| 6856s | wasted so many keys |
| 6859s | um I ended up with like three horns and |
| 6860s | you know like it was bad anyways |
| 6864s | um |
| 6865s | remember finally Downing it and it was |
| 6867s | right after I got Akira's Kira's |
| 6869s | Guardianship and like |
| 6871s | that was enough to put me over the edge |
| 6873s | to actually finish it because I didn't |
| 6874s | understand at the time that conviction |
| 6876s | was ruining my resistances as much as it |
| 6880s | was and I needed to that that cures was |
| 6882s | enough to bump it up High Enough |
| 6894s | a long time ago |
| 6899s | all right |
| 6901s | D2 as I want some future love your wife |
| 6904s | nose and is happy with that I I can love |
| 6909s | more than one thing at a time I could |
| 6911s | love Diablo 2 and my wife right |
| 6914s | right |
| 6927s | I saw a post on Reddit the other day it |
| 6929s | was like |
| 6930s | ah |
| 6934s | it was it was about knowing the |
| 6937s | difference between like different |
| 6938s | different cities in the world and only |
| 6941s | uh people who play Forex games a lot |
| 6943s | know about this and like the spouse of |
| 6945s | anyone who plays or knows this |
| 6947s | difference knows they have to share you |
| 6948s | with it with every |
| 6949s | sieve and sieve clone there is |
| 6955s | that's the only type of game that gets |
| 6956s | me Forex games |
| 6962s | oh Tyrion you got Auto modded |
| 6965s | that's a long one too |
| 6968s | it's fine |
| 6976s | okay |
| 6987s | here I'm tired of Friday bullying me as |
| 6991s | well as people of the of the uh genders |
| 6994s | fantasizing my limbs in addition a |
| 6998s | countless number of Travelers have come |
| 7000s | to my Hideout receive some sort of |
| 7001s | blessing I tickle them a little if they |
| 7004s | survive I tell them to oh my total my |
| 7007s | local dialect could you please add more |
| 7009s | substance to my experience thank you |
| 7010s | yeah like God's a tricky one and uh |
| 7013s | there's lots more to come there |
| 7018s | oh that's it's not it's not terrible I'm |
| 7021s | just saying yeah |
| 7024s | well |
| 7026s | I don't know why I took so long to show |
| 7028s | any of these but here we go here's |
| 7029s | another little little |
| 7031s | another B teaser |
| 7040s | what's your favorite 4X and why is it |
| 7043s | not |
| 7044s | I don't know what smac or call to power |
| 7046s | one |
| 7049s | oh Sid Meyer's Alpha Centauri that's |
| 7051s | what it is |
| 7052s | um |
| 7053s | Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri |
| 7056s | like |
| 7058s | there's so many great and terrible |
| 7060s | things about that game Civ 2 was my |
| 7063s | entry into |
| 7065s | uh |
| 7066s | into 4X games |
| 7069s | um and so yeah I'll centari is |
| 7072s | interesting but uh I I I didn't have it |
| 7075s | when I was a kid |
| 7078s | my favorite like Civ six is my favorite |
| 7081s | so |
| 7082s | um it's |
| 7085s | there's a lot of really great things |
| 7087s | that a lot of other games do in the |
| 7088s | genre and like old world is |
| 7092s | old world is so phenomenal |
| 7096s | um I wish there was a little bit more to |
| 7098s | it like uh probably like more Empires to |
| 7102s | play as |
| 7103s | um |
| 7104s | more scenario types to get into that |
| 7106s | sort of stuff but like uh old world |
| 7109s | so six just has got everything and |
| 7114s | um |
| 7115s | like like oh you just get into so many |
| 7119s | mods playing for so long but like |
| 7128s | you can get a it's a comfort game for me |
| 7130s | at this point I don't play very much |
| 7132s | anymore |
| 7134s | Seven's probably in in the works |
| 7144s | it was already in the game I have no |
| 7146s | idea but have you guys thought of making |
| 7147s | it unique that turns all of your bees |
| 7149s | into queen bees buffing them well I mean |
| 7152s | like I don't think a hive can have |
| 7154s | multiple Queens right it's like I think |
| 7156s | that would cause problems |
| 7158s | um |
| 7160s | and I've always pictured the like |
| 7162s | the B |
| 7164s | mechanics being something that you could |
| 7167s | that you turn into like some sort of way |
| 7169s | to generate I don't know pheromones or |
| 7171s | however they communicate to |
| 7173s | uh become acting like the queen yourself |
| 7191s | there we go despair |
| 7194s | I'll take it |
| 7197s | a good way to end up I've got I've |
| 7199s | actually got one more little teaser too |
| 7201s | I was I was looking for places to slip |
| 7203s | these in and I just like |
| 7205s | didn't do a good job of it why is it |
| 7207s | tiny is it oh goodness |
| 7209s | yeah so yeah there it is uh a little |
| 7212s | little VFX update for serpent strike |
| 7214s | that is coming in |
| 7218s | um |
| 7220s | is there audio playing with that why is |
| 7221s | there's no audio playing |
| 7227s | well that's frustrating I'm sorry |
| 7229s | it's got a great new sound effect too |
| 7232s | and the animation scales to the taxi |
| 7234s | yeah that's a big thing thanks again |
| 7246s | all right oh that's right we're done |
| 7249s | done with time here I'm just gonna round |
| 7251s | out with a couple last minute questions |
| 7252s | as we finish up what do we got here |
| 7257s | uh someone else asked this but got lost |
| 7259s | in chat I want to know two how many |
| 7261s | chapters do you plan to have for the |
| 7263s | campaign I think there's three more |
| 7264s | chapters see the two or three more |
| 7266s | chapters more than what's there now |
| 7270s | um and that's some of that's coming post |
| 7272s | 1.0 |
| 7273s | how much for an MCX that turns my druid |
| 7276s | playing bees into a girl from The Blind |
| 7278s | Melon music video I don't know what that |
| 7281s | is I'm sorry uh and we want to keep |
| 7283s | things in in world so in |
