10s	how we doing how we feeling
15s	something's going on
17s	and I'm trying to get into my empowered
19s	monos
21s	and I think I may have created a bug
23s	with this character
26s	and uh
29s	uh we might we may switch a different
30s	one we might do that just just in case
33s	and thank you very much welcome oh

39s	holy thank you very much glad to have
41s	you here
43s	starting the stream off strong and yeah
45s	I just hadn't turned on the empowered it
47s	looks like
49s	[Music]
56s	we should be able to come back down here
58s	now
59s	because we want to finish up some of
60s	these ones that we've done anything on
62s	yet at all
63s	it's good enough
65s	let's just jump
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
126s	we've got one more day of this one after
128s	this one today it's good sports they
130s	help kids play sports
132s	which is important
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

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
7286s	um
7288s	things that
7291s	like
7293s	could exist in the world already like we
7295s	don't want to go too out of Universe for
7297s	things
7299s	llama three more chapters yeah I think
