295s	stuff feeling good feeling fine Welcome
299s	to our last Tac Dev stream I'm your host
302s	Mike I am a uh senior developer SL
306s	designer uh for last Epoch and
310s	um I'm here to answer your questions
313s	have some fun play some games you know
314s	relax chill
315s	out um we do also stream for charity
319s	right above my head you can see your
322s	charity uh yeah I think that's all the
324s	house oh yeah if you have a question for
325s	me please put at last Tac game in the
328s	question so I know you're looking for me
329s	to answer
330s	it I'll be happy to do
335s	that might ramble a little bit few
338s	sidetracks we like sidetracks
345s	though I had a pretty good week this
347s	week I don't know about you guys every
349s	everyone if you had a good week or not
351s	but uh I I really enjoyed it good
358s	one very excited about the upcoming if
360s	you haven't seen uh any of the new stuff
362s	for the
364s	upcoming uh event that we are hosting
366s	for the Mortal Empire Uprising um it is
371s	it's going to be sweet tons of new stuff
372s	post just went out this morning um I'm
375s	expecting some questions regarding that
377s	hopefully I can clarify those for
385s	you hi Aon how's it going good to see
389s	you glad to have you with
393s	us woo I look away for 1
399s	second I think we're getting pretty
400s	close to being able to switch this over
401s	actually aren't we where where where is
404s	the weapon
406s	actually uh what level is it
409s	64 not far not far we got the CF
414s	rank of course you do we found the item
423s	61 I think maybe
426s	yeah I don't I don't know if this will
428s	be this stream or not but
431s	maybe do a build
434s	transition reset all our skills back to
436s	10
439s	points I know where our minimum skill
440s	level is right now what's our minimum
442s	nine reset them all back to nine they
443s	might be 10 by then
451s	impossible got some questions here with
453s	the reset let's say you got the season
455s	late do you have do you have to reset or
457s	could you just keep playing um well I
460s	mean you could so here here's here's the
462s	like the key piece of information that I
464s	think a lot of people are missing with
465s	this is that there's no functional
468s	difference in content between cyc and
470s	Legacy right now um and there won't be
472s	any difference in content between cycle
474s	and Legacy when the the reset happens
476s	either so if you're playing a new
477s	character in uh in cycle and you you
479s	really want to just keep playing that
481s	character but don't want to lose access
482s	to any content or anything you wanted to
484s	do you can just keep playing that
485s	character you don't have to switch over
486s	to the new cycle um the new cycle is for
490s	if you want to engage in a fresh um
493s	economy
494s	environment uh or compete on the the new
500s	ladder but if you're just looking to
502s	have some fun and keep playing your
504s	character you can keep playing your
505s	character there's no there's no aberoth
507s	lock out this time there's no like it's
509s	it's just everything's the same except
511s	for the um the bizarre like the economy
515s	reset and the ladder
523s	reset you will have to buy new stash
526s	tabs again in Legacy that that's one
528s	thing um but with the gold boost it
531s	happens real quick
533s	now and frankly you still have access to
535s	all your stuff so like it's not like you
536s	need to take everything out right away
547s	on come on just just just just just just
550s	let me just thank
554s	you okay more questions oh they're
556s	pouring in that's what I like to
560s	see uh more skeletons will be everywhere
563s	or only in the end game
565s	everywhere
567s	um pretty sure they everywhere
570s	double check on that they're they're in
572s	little packs
574s	um the fun little encounters they're
576s	great I don't see why they wouldn't be
579s	everywhere I should double check on
590s	that I'm just going to ask
608s	if you had to pick a current Mastery to
611s	give an overhaul to which one would you
612s	pick
613s	M good question
617s	overhaul I think Beast Master is what
619s	comes to mind personally and that's
621s	that's less about the class needing an
622s	overhaul and more that the uh it has it
626s	has just enough
628s	abilities that I think individually need
630s	overhauls like summon bear and summon
632s	saber-tooth together are just such a
635s	such a key piece of the like the overall
638s	skill availability in the class like
639s	it's two out of five are are just so so
642s	old at this point that I'd really love
644s	to see that um what am I talking about
646s	uh Sentinel is the one I would pick but
649s	we're already doing that one so it's
652s	that's why it's why um glost over in my
654s	mind
660s	okay mostly mostly
663s	um we're do we're doing we're revamping
665s	a very key skill in uh in Sentinel and
669s	it is um having Ripple effects
671s	everywhere in the
676s	class all right hey Mike you have talked
678s	about implementing an AIX Trader where
680s	you trade at a loss is that soon or soon
683s	TM um it's not uh it's not the 19th soon
686s	so it's not uh next patch soon but
690s	um yeah I I think soon would be an
693s	appropriate way to put it if if we're if
695s	we're talking in like proper patches
712s	terms all right on a scale of 1 to 10
715s	how advanced is the skill MTX system uh
720s	two like like I assuming like how much
722s	progress have we made on
726s	it uh two but that's a lot to do with
729s	the fact that we just
736s	started okay Kane saying they they're
738s	they Echoes only okay so end
741s	game no
745s	campaign I guess that makes sense the
746s	way they have to happen cuz otherwise
748s	we' have to have spawners put in place
750s	for every
751s	[Music]
753s	Zone yeah that would that would have
754s	been too much
768s	work all
772s	right with the reset we will have a
775s	class balance or will or we reroll Mana
778s	stacker and one shot everything again
779s	again um there's not a large balance
781s	patch that's happening at the same time
782s	this is something we've um we have put
784s	in the announcements that we sent
789s	out uh with Imperial
791s	Uprising uh on a scale answer that one
794s	am I these repeats am I just like
796s	jumping around I'm just jumping
800s	around when I don't look at the screen
803s	when I'm trying to play
807s	[Applause]
810s	do we have to play the cycle refresh to
812s	qualify for the event reward or can I
814s	continue playing My Legacy character you
816s	can continue playing your Legacy
817s	character
819s	um I believe the reward I actually don't
821s	know what the reward is I'm assuming
823s	based on the way it's worded that it's
824s	going to be a cosmetic reward um which
827s	means online
829s	only but I don't think you need to uh I
832s	know you don't need to play in uh in the
834s	cycle to get access to it
841s	uh stash tab quality of life
844s	improvements won't add an improved
846s	search uh no there's no the the search
849s	has not improved yet um not die here we
853s	are still working on search improvements
855s	I
855s	don't yeah I don't think I made it in
857s	there's there's some pretty cool stuff
859s	there
861s	um but it's not ready yet as far as I
864s	know
871s	it's so tricky to keep track of what's
872s	what's actually made it in what actually
874s	hasn't made it in
882s	yet all right how does dungeon quality
885s	of life work uh I don't think you guys
886s	mentioned about it in the Forum yeah
888s	it's not a gigantic change yet um and so
891s	that that'll be coming in with the patch
893s	notes
895s	um there's there's sort of the first
897s	wave that we wanted really wanted to get
898s	into to clean up some stuff
901s	uh and just just make the process a
904s	little little bit more smooth and then
905s	we've got some bigger changes coming as
906s	well after
911s	that yeah keep berserk
922s	going there a gigantic difference in
925s	damage when berserk stays up
940s	got him thanks Raptor so Raptor's doing
943s	like half the
949s	work the like we pulled out what do I
953s	know we've done for sure um like we we
956s	we we cut off some chunks of the
958s	dungeons so like the zones are
960s	physically just smaller so there's less
961s	space to check in
963s	general um I know we have uh removed the
967s	like percentage of blockers that show
970s	like the rate that the the the blockers
971s	show up at so you'll go through
974s	smoother
975s	[Music]
977s	um and here's we getting to the like did
979s	we add that or not uh point of the the
984s	changes that are coming
1003s	cuz there's there's some restructuring
1005s	we want to do with with dungeons in
1006s	general that'll um especially for party
1009s	play as
1011s	well and also just revamping fail States
1015s	um so they're a little bit more
1017s	forgiving things like that um I'm not
1019s	sure what what have all this made it in
1020s	or not to this
1027s	patch I think those are I think those
1029s	are 1.2
1037s	things hi longterm big fan of the game
1041s	thanks uh feel like I might recognize
1044s	the name from the forums I don't know uh
1046s	I have a quick question if you don't
1047s	mind could you please explain blocking
1050s	update next year
1051s	thanks that's why I remember
1054s	[Laughter]
1059s	it well see a sexon is an important part
1062s	of a compass that without it the compass
1064s	just doesn't function at all it's it's
1066s	built right in to every single one of
1071s	them it's completely wrong it does it's
1073s	not true at all
1082s	all
1083s	right thanks the answer two beavers
1085s	better than
1090s	one uh in regards to the skeletons we
1092s	obviously know that the bonus the bones
1095s	are the money how about the worms are
1098s	there worms money
1101s	too oh
1104s	God just just realized what you were
1106s	trying to get me to do
1117s	well done
1118s	[Laughter]
1121s	though all right is the increased rate
1123s	of favorite reputation also a test for
1125s	future permanent tweaks 1.1 felt like I
1127s	was able to buy a lot less prophecies in
1128s	cof compared to
1130s	1.0 um I mean that that to me that says
1133s	you probably had an extremely powerful
1135s	build in 1.0 um
1139s	and I think we're we're always looking
1141s	at the rates of these things it's it's
1142s	everything is kind of a test it's not
1143s	really anything in a vacuum um so yes um
1149s	but I don't want you to think too much
1152s	in that like uh if people like really
1154s	love it it'll just happen or something
1156s	like that um we're always we're always
1159s	collecting data and and looking at
1160s	feedback so if you are if you do like it
1162s	do tell us and it will influence our
1164s	decisions going forward but um I don't
1167s	want to get anyone's hopes up of like
1169s	some like threshold minimum threshold of
1172s	if it gets this much enjoyment we're
1174s	just going to make it core or something
1175s	like that that's that's not quite the
1176s	way we do things but um so if you are
1179s	looking for if you do enjoy it let us
1182s	know um
1187s	yeah I think we're going to go for
1195s	that I should grab that
1202s	yeah all right push forward shards or
1205s	expansion let's let's check out the
1210s	area so what what Buffs does the rainbow
1213s	Shrine do what does the rainbow Shrine
1215s	do
1216s	everything you know the the the closest
1219s	thing I can liken it to um is
1226s	uh like like a star like like a
1240s	yeah oh I was trying to be trapped in
1243s	the
1250s	corner that would have been funny
1260s	uh will we see those bizarre search
1262s	upgrades added to the loot filter uh
1265s	loot
1277s	filter cuz we're talking about roll
1278s	ranges now I'm assuming is the key piece
1280s	you're asking
1285s	about okay did just get confirmation
1287s	that the uh the skeletons are
1292s	um uh monolith only specifically
1296s	monolith which does make
1310s	sense uh I think I think there's I don't
1313s	know if the AIX range stuff has been
1315s	added to the loot filter but the fact
1316s	that we have it now functional for the
1319s	searches for the for the merchant
1320s	skilled makes the barrier to putting in
1322s	the loot filter a lot
1324s	lower um there's there's there's a few
1326s	differences in like designing what we
1329s	want to exist in each of those things
1331s	it's not just a straight because it's in
1332s	one it should be in the other um you
1335s	know like there's there's certain things
1336s	that are intentionally in just one or
1338s	the other
1344s	um no
1346s	room but I got to say I would not hate
1348s	it
1353s	am I any balanc patches planned before
1355s	1.2 um there's no no no like big
1359s	overhaul balance patches planned between
1361s	now and then I don't think um but that
1363s	doesn't mean we can't you know that
1365s	doesn't mean it's impossible um just cuz
1367s	something's not planned right now
1368s	doesn't mean it won't happen
1393s	don't for yeah don't for to put out
1395s	lasto game yeah if you if you want me to
1396s	see the question and answer it please
1397s	put atlast Depo game in the question so
1399s	I see it and I answer it if I've skipped
1402s	one I didn't get answered I apologize
1404s	please repost it only only if you're
1407s	sure I've skipped it
1409s	any chance of being able to go back into
1410s	an echo for Loot on the floor you if
1412s	when you didn't die or when you die I've
1414s	lost so many prophecy pops um right now
1417s	we don't have any way of preserving the
1419s	the echo layout when you leave once
1421s	you've leaved it's closed once you've
1423s	left it's closed oh my
1428s	gosh oh boy apparently it was a long
1437s	week uh well you got I I I think the the
1441s	um a more realist I think there's a more
1443s	realistic I should bre exp on this here
1444s	so the question is about um like losing
1447s	gear to zones resetting um and I think
1451s	there's a much more uh realistic
1454s	solution to that problem than making the
1457s	zones persist for us cuz having the
1459s	zones persist is uh it's one of those
1461s	things that you're like well just don't
1463s	unload it we're like yeah it is so not
1465s	that simple um and
1469s	you know the sometimes
1472s	the like reporting the core of the
1475s	problem and not uh Wishful solution ends
1478s	up getting us to a to a solution a lot
1480s	faster um so if we just look at the at
1483s	the problem of its losing loot that
1485s	you've that was in a zone that you
1487s	missed um it's also not just dying it's
1490s	um you know a minion killed killed
1493s	something behind uh behind you in your
1495s	travels and you didn't notice that there
1497s	was this this item that you really
1498s	wanted and sort of stuff and you know
1500s	there's there's other things than just
1501s	dying there's like oh I portal out too
1503s	quickly I just didn't see it you know
1505s	there's there's a lot of um there's a
1506s	lot of ways that you can lose loot um
1510s	maybe it dropped and was inaccessible
1512s	due to like the some of the dungeon
1514s	barriers or I was like off a cliff or
1517s	something like that so there's a lot of
1518s	different ways that it can like that's
1519s	those different scenarios where that
1521s	problem can show up um and so finding a
1523s	solution that fixes all of those
1524s	problems is really important and just
1525s	being able to go back into the Zone
1526s	doesn't fix all those situations
1529s	um also going back in the zone is way
1532s	harder for us than other possible
1534s	solutions um so we're we're looking
1536s	elsewhere to fix those problems
1550s	really and there's no there's no way to
1552s	know that so it's
1555s	like not not saying you guys should
1557s	should be aware of internal workings and
1559s	what's a hard
1560s	problem but
1569s	yeah would be
1573s	incredible all right will you guys oh
1579s	here will you guys abandon the 1.2 1.3
1582s	labels and go to a cycle 2 three or
1585s	season uh everyone I talked to is beyond
1588s	confused with patch 1.2 1.3 moniker um
1592s	yeah it it is a little confusing I think
1595s	it would have been fine if we managed to
1597s	to kind of just stick stick with the the
1599s	numbering scheme cuz once there was a
1600s	pattern it would be easy to see the
1602s	pattern
1609s	um I think um I don't think we have any
1612s	specific plans to change it right now
1614s	but I can uh I see where you're coming
1617s	from and I do agree there's a problem
1620s	there because it is
1642s	confusing I think the biggest issue is
1644s	that the patches are decoupled from the
1646s	Cycles in a in a like technical
1650s	perspective and
1655s	um like a lot of times I think we put
1657s	too much emphasis on the like the
1659s	technical patch
1665s	numbers like this this like 1.
1668s	1.6.2 thing up there
1679s	okay more questions I'm curious what's
1682s	your stance on player
1684s	interactable uh navigate map elements
1687s	for example traps that have a player
1689s	inter player interaction to trigger So
1693s	like
1695s	[Music]
1698s	um I mean like the the the
1700s	quintessential example that comes to
1701s	mind was like the big thing they showed
1703s	off when Diablo I first launched was the
1706s	like um you know you like you you hit a
1709s	wall and the wall crumbles and it lands
1711s	on enemies and kills them sort of thing
1713s	um I I think that that's I think that if
1716s	assuming that's what you're what you're
1717s	talking about um I think the like
1722s	theming available and the like
1724s	environmental storytelling that becomes
1725s	available with things like that and the
1727s	um like cool factor is just awesome just
1732s	just fantastic
1735s	um I think it's a it's it tends to be
1739s	a
1741s	um a feature that Fades into kind of the
1746s	background as you get into the end
1749s	game
1755s	um so I don't know it's it's that's a
1757s	tough
1763s	one if you mean more like uh like strong
1767s	boxes and Poe stuff thing where it's
1769s	like a button you press and there's a
1770s	bunch of enemies that pop out and you
1772s	got to fight them real quick uh and you
1774s	get a reward for it that sort of thing I
1775s	I much prefer that style of thing
1778s	um which you get similar like
1782s	um Shrine stuff we have as well and you
1785s	know there's there there's lots of
1786s	things like that lots of examples that's
1788s	that's not a hard pressed uh one
1806s	overall I think
1808s	Pro uh I'm in the minority of players
1810s	that use the valve steam controller will
1812s	there be an option to disable the screen
1814s	the on-screen keyboard I mean steam
1817s	overlay versions feels a lot better to
1818s	me uh I have no idea that's uh that
1822s	that's a hop into the suggestions and
1824s	posted there and we'll we'll talk about
1826s	it but yeah head on over to our forums
1828s	and drop in the
1830s	suggestions it's arena
1851s	time just recently I read the post about
1853s	the movement of patch 1.3 to start of
1856s	2025
1859s	I not really what's happening which
1861s	illustrates the confusion Point as
1862s	[Music]
1865s	well
1867s	um uh any concern from the team that it
1870s	might be too long between large patches
1872s	yeah that was a huge
1875s	concern that was that was the main
1878s	reason that came up not to do it uh on
1881s	on on the in the debate we had about if
1883s	we were going to do it or
1884s	not and to be clear it's 1.2 that's
1887s	coming out in q1 2025 not
1897s	1.3 uh is there or will there be way to
1902s	upgrade gray/blue items to rare yes
1905s	there has been since day one of this
1907s	game
1910s	existing um it was one of our launch
1912s	features with with the like pre
1915s	Kickstarter build we sent out to uh
1920s	like it's it's always been there
1923s	yes even I can even show you how to do
1926s	it cuz there's a blue item on the ground
1928s	right over
1930s	there there's there's multiple ways to
1932s	do it actually uh this button here we go
1935s	uh let's do it after the
1940s	fight
1942s	impossible come on down here join me in
1945s	the pit
1953s	Raptor so good so good in the arena
1955s	especially cuz it has those Buffs where
1956s	it like kills and gets stronger and so
1959s	it's just like it's just getting
1962s	stronger and stronger and stronger and
1974s	stronger his hits are so much bigger I'm
1977s	just like looking at the damage num
1978s	actually oh my God should I even bother
1984s	attacking I mean yes cuz I need the life
1986s	Le but my
1994s	goodness all right so if we're going to
1996s	take a blue item and we're going to turn
1998s	it into a yellow item the distinction
2000s	between a blue item and yellow item or a
2002s	white blue and yellow item is the number
2004s	of aexes it has on it so whites have
2006s	zero Blues have one and two and yellows
2008s	have three or four so we can uh we can
2012s	just click on this plus here um sorry if
2015s	we're going to start from scratch here
2016s	press F to open the
2017s	forge um put item in there plus to add
2020s	an AIX and let's add in a suffix and
2025s	let's put bleed on
2027s	hit uh we'll do nothing here boom two a
2031s	is still blue then you can also do so I
2033s	could just add more aexes to it if I
2035s	want or R of discovery puts random axes
2039s	on all available slots and it's a yellow
2043s	item easy
2051s	peasy when shrines cast abilities are
2055s	they separate from the player skill
2056s	trees for example does hammer throw tree
2058s	impact the type of hammer thrown damage
2061s	dealt Etc from the shrine
2064s	hammers skill trees do apply to
2067s	abilities that that are cast
2069s	automatically from clicking on a shrine
2071s	so when you click on a shrine you get a
2073s	buff that starts spamming that ability
2075s	and if you have that ability specialized
2078s	on your character and you have effects
2079s	on that skill tree they will apply they
2081s	do work um there are a couple nodes that
2085s	don't play nice cuz you don't have like
2086s	a proper Target location and there's
2089s	like it's just randomly casting it at
2090s	enemies so like there's a few quirks
2092s	that happen there so there's a few
2094s	things that aren't perfect right now um
2097s	but yes they do use your skill trees
2101s	[Music]
2102s	um uh yeah it's it's
2106s	great this is this was um yeah it was it
2110s	was one of the things we started using
2111s	it they weren't using the skill trees
2112s	and we're like oh would be really cool
2114s	if they
2115s	could why
2118s	not it's going through the same casting
2120s	system
2126s	[Music]
2134s	all right we'll be Turkish translate to
2136s	the game anytime next month or years um
2139s	it's possible I don't know which Which
2142s	languages are next on the list um I know
2145s	we did
2146s	just did we just expand the languages
2149s	huge or just about to expand the
2150s	languages huge a lot
2152s	um we are still very actively working on
2155s	improving our localizations for existing
2157s	language and expanding to new languages
2160s	that's it's a really important part of
2161s	this for us we we we're really clear
2164s	that this is an important part to our
2165s	players as well
2168s	um it's it's sort of like the most core
2170s	accessibility option we can include in
2172s	the game
2174s	um and uh so it is it is really
2176s	important to us we are working on
2177s	expanding it I don't have any specifics
2179s	off hand on uh exactly which ones are
2182s	next I'm sorry
2191s	it's actually a cool uh it's a cool
2195s	item not not for us really right now but
2202s	um it's got some axes that landine up
2208s	decent that was a lot of them landing at
2212s	once we dodged a a nuclear warhead there
2220s	uh when will we have a fully viable B
2222s	build feels like we're short one maybe
2224s	two items for full full B chos yeah it's
2227s	kind of always just like buzzing on the
2230s	outer edges of viable build territory
2233s	isn't it um I I think I think it's one
2236s	of those things like it it might take a
2238s	few more patches before it finally you
2240s	know really kicks off
2244s	um it's a bit of a meme and so I think
2247s	we're a little hesitant to make the
2249s	memes too
2251s	strong
2256s	um but having them be strong is not bad
2259s	just just I think there's I think
2261s	there's a line where if it's like well
2262s	the best thing to play in last defx is a
2265s	beekeeper um that
2280s	all right is there going to be an
2283s	endgame overhaul or at least an entire
2285s	separate way to play the in-game content
2287s	instead of just endless monos um I mean
2289s	so we are I think the focus we're doing
2292s	is on a few fronts is
2296s	um you know addressing the issues with
2298s	the dungeon system which is the I guess
2300s	the secondary endgame system that's kind
2302s	of it not being good enough as a system
2305s	overall with the the way that you act
2308s	with it multiplayer the way that you uh
2310s	like the death penalties associated with
2311s	it specifically um all of that is
2314s	specifically regarding the uh like the
2317s	leadup to the dungeon uh and things like
2320s	that so like the the maze with blockers
2323s	is not fun for people it's feedback
2325s	we're getting pretty consistently um and
2327s	fixing that will have a really big
2328s	impact that's like fixing that will in a
2330s	way kind of add an in-game system
2332s	because we'll be able to make new
2333s	dungeons again um
2336s	and uh also just just you know make that
2339s	be a fun end game system for people to
2341s	play again
2343s	um but yes there's also a lot of updates
2345s	to monolith is coming I don't think
2347s	there's a a
2349s	second system on the same scale as the
2351s	monolith that's planned for
2354s	1.3 um but we do have other endgame
2358s	activities and things like that planned
2361s	um I can't really go into detail on that
2363s	it's a little bit longer term for for
2364s	some of
2366s	those so we're expanding the end game in
2369s	several different ways and that's going
2370s	to keep
2371s	expanding
2376s	um and
2393s	improving I'd really personally like to
2395s	see kind of a a a little bit longer
2399s	sidetracks be available in the monolith
2401s	where it's like um like like mini
2404s	dungeons that show up almost sort of
2406s	randomly like like there's a there's a
2408s	wall and you're like ah smack oh hey
2411s	look a ladder to a mini dungeon um you
2413s	know like things like that that I think
2415s	would really help um it wouldn't be a
2418s	fully separate system on the same scale
2421s	as the monolith but I think they would
2422s	kind of stand out as their own system
2424s	within the monolith a little bit I think
2426s	that would be really good
2434s	got to get that procedural generation
2435s	system running
2437s	though we're working on
2451s	it impossible come on keep it no
2457s	impossible
2467s	nice
2470s	nice
2475s	nice I'm really excited about the loot
2477s	lizards the loot lizards are so cute
2481s	and like I I I've been I've been playing
2484s	right now CU we've been playing all week
2485s	with loot lizards in in testing builds
2487s	and things like that like I almost just
2489s	said I said to myself I almost said out
2490s	loud like I haven't seen a loot lizard
2492s	all like what's going on here I haven't
2493s	seen any of them this is insane like
2495s	there must be something wrong they're
2496s	not showing up at all there is Mike
2498s	you're playing on the wrong
2504s	patch hi
2508s	Josh are there any plans in your laundry
2510s	list to improve the ice barrage tree
2512s	noes particularly what is reflected in
2514s	the tool tip and expanded tool tips for
2516s	certain nodes to explain whether it's
2518s	supported to be damaged neutral or an
2521s	increase it's complicated skill and many
2523s	nodes don't function how you might think
2524s	they do and the tool tip doesn't reflect
2526s	it properly u i mean we're always
2528s	looking to improve all the skills so if
2530s	you've got uh specific nodes that you're
2532s	uh concerned about drop them in a bug
2534s	report and we'll we'll get to
2536s	it uh it is difficult to develop the
2538s	game and then and to then be a player
2541s	knowing the maths behind drop rights and
2543s	damage yes how do you cope with any
2545s	personal bias to buff Nerf your favorite
2548s	class great
2551s	question um I think the primary part of
2554s	it is that we don't buff and Nerf in a
2556s	vacuum so there's not just uh one person
2558s	being like well I play this so I'm going
2561s	to buff it you know um there kind of
2564s	needs to be a justification and a reason
2566s	behind it and uh you have to be able to
2569s	defend that decision so
2571s	um you know like usually usually there's
2574s	at least two people sometimes three four
2576s	or five people um when when you're doing
2578s	balancing stuff and it's it it needs it
2580s	needs a little bit of peer review
2582s	involved um there's there's there's a
2585s	little bit of bias towards um I think
2588s	mechanically interesting effects for
2590s	abilities that we really like because um
2593s	I mean it's just natural that like so
2595s	the the characters that I play on stream
2596s	and I play offline and things like that
2598s	like and play with my friends those
2599s	builds that I play a lot I just get more
2601s	experience with and I I I just think of
2604s	cool things that I'm like oh wouldn't it
2606s	be cool if we added this sword into the
2607s	game to work with this type of build and
2609s	do this function um because I was
2611s	playing that character so you you get
2613s	more ideas I think for the classes that
2614s	you play a lot and things like that but
2616s	I don't think that we are um and and I
2619s	think you do see that reflected a little
2620s	bit in the quantity of unique items for
2623s	each class or for each
2626s	ability um but I think we're pretty good
2628s	about you know like not just straight
2630s	power buffing things we play I like to
2632s	play a lot drunks thank you very much
2635s	for the gifted sub and congrats dude
2638s	cobal
2639s	chin look that thank
2644s	you see what's in here a stifled
2652s	roll I mean it's not bad but just you
2655s	know it's not what we're looking
2662s	for I'm really enjoying this build I'm
2665s	having fun with it
2672s	please don't forget to put atlast Depot
2673s	game in the question if you'd like me to
2675s	answer
2679s	it thanks Santa Clair appreciate
2682s	you glad you enjoy it all right when
2686s	will/ will you ever make it so that you
2689s	are not forced to fight any harbingers
2691s	to progress to empowered mods they're
2694s	way too op for normal um
2698s	it's just the one right it's the one
2700s	level 91 you have to
2709s	fight um I I mean I don't think there's
2711s	any plans to take that
2716s	out I could yeah so it's a little tricky
2719s	I could see
2721s	it um like allowing you to progress into
2725s	empowered even if you didn't kill it
2727s	um but I think the concern is that like
2729s	the the power jump or the difficulty
2731s	jump from normal to empowered is pretty
2733s	significant um and so if you can't kill
2735s	that Harbinger you're probably going to
2736s	have a tough time just doing empowered
2739s	monos in
2740s	general
2742s	um yeah and then there the other problem
2744s	as well is if you if you if you fail
2746s	that one and it still lets you into
2748s	empowered then you have to kill um all
2751s	of them as empowered versions instead of
2754s	one of them as a normal version cuz you
2756s	do kind of get one freebie there a
2757s	little bit
2761s	but I say freebie it's still
2773s	hard I think if anything this might this
2776s	might be kind of counterintuitive but if
2777s	anything I think i' given that problem
2781s	the solution I'd probably start looking
2784s	at first would be uh increasing the
2786s	difficulty of normal monos
2788s	which I know is kind of the opposite of
2789s	what you're asking for but um it does
2792s	smooth out that curve I do really like
2794s	having difficulty um like break points
2798s	uh that like I I still remember you know
2801s	the
2802s	first was it the first character I ever
2805s	did it I think it was the first time I
2806s	ever went to hell in Diablo I was on a
2808s	windy Druid and just like walking into
2812s	walking onto the mo and just being like
2815s	like I just I just got to I got to turn
2819s	around cuz I can't do any of this at
2822s	all
2825s	um I I I really I really enjoy those
2828s	this that that might be a bit of an
2830s	extreme example of a of a of a jump but
2836s	um
2839s	yeah I know it's a trick it's a tricky
2841s	issue I'm not sure the best way to solve
2844s	it uh are there plans to remake block
2848s	not
2849s	really see what you got to say on it
2851s	though if you if you do have a
2852s	suggestion Chum out to read thing please
2853s	drop it in the suggestions channels on
2856s	Discord our forums safe
2860s	travels let's read it out at the moment
2862s	you implement more and more stuff that
2864s	isn't blockable at all like the new
2866s	bosses and their effects problem with
2868s	that is that a lot of the class things
2870s	from Sentinel doesn't work at all uh if
2873s	no effect triggers a get hit effect uh
2876s	that is major problem um yeah there I
2879s	think there's there's more dots in
2881s	general um but then we did also give
2883s	Sentinel specific tools to deal with
2884s	dots a little bit better
2888s	um and and I know that Sentinel defense
2891s	is is low right now um and so we are
2894s	looking at addressing that so it's I
2896s	don't want you to take that as like a
2897s	it's great or anything like that
2901s	um yes but I think it's I think it's a
2904s	positive thing that there are a split of
2908s	you know a Content that you know a
2911s	character is better SL worse at and
2916s	um and also just a difference in the
2918s	style of content so you have like
2919s	different things you need to watch out
2921s	for different things different ways you
2922s	need to prepare for different fights
2923s	things like that I think that I think
2924s	that's really
2927s	positive and it's possible it might be
2929s	too extreme might not be balanced well
2930s	enough things like that but um the
2932s	underlying effect I think is good
2938s	[Music]
2940s	who knows maybe the next the next set of
2942s	content will be greatly favor hits to
2945s	the point where things that can block
2947s	are super
2948s	strong never know block used to be the
2951s	like only thing anyone
2954s	did is it your Mage block okay well
2957s	you're an ACC
2958s	block okay but what if you're a rogue
2960s	block
2969s	all right does high corruption increase
2971s	chances of more LP in the Nemesis egg no
2975s	if I put an item in the egg during the
2976s	campaign at a low level do I have a
2978s	lower chance to get more LP no um the lp
2983s	chance of the item is not affected by
2986s	corruption um in the egg however you do
2989s	find significantly
2991s	more eggs and Nemesis like like you you
2994s	you'll get more cracks at it playing
2996s	High High corruption um so you you'll
2999s	you'll end up with like more High LP
3003s	items playing higher corruption but
3006s	[Music]
3008s	um it doesn't it doesn't make the
3010s	individual attempts
3020s	stronger it creates if we did that it
3022s	kind of creates an opportunity for uh
3025s	like egg
3027s	almost where it's like um
3031s	like uh join someone's high corruption
3034s	run and like they'll they'll find you an
3037s	emesis and you go until you get an egg
3039s	type thing that that's not really
3041s	something we're super interested in in
3043s	having as a core gameplay
3052s	mechanic all right q1 anything more
3054s	specific than that nope basically
3057s	anything that you can interact with and
3059s	something good or bad happens is great
3060s	the previous question was more so
3062s	elements like patch of grass you walk
3064s	over in a spike pops out and harms you
3066s	or chest that turns you into a MIM that
3068s	turns into a mimic yeah
3070s	um the the mimic thing is interesting we
3072s	we've discussed that a few times and
3073s	came really close to putting it in once
3080s	um I do really like that type of effect
3084s	in a context that specifically makes
3086s	sense so I love to see a dungeon where
3089s	there was like um a lot of really Juiced
3094s	treasure chests that also had a really
3096s	high chance of being mimics so like I i'
3098s	really like to see that like here's
3100s	here's the cont you're in a specific
3101s	context where there's extra incentive to
3103s	to go interact with these objects and
3105s	there's a chance they're actually bad
3107s	I'd really like to see that more than um
3109s	just having them
3112s	sprinkled if you could give advice to a
3114s	junior gameplay programmer with no
3116s	experience looking to work on RPGs like
3119s	at ehg what might that be
3123s	hm I mean the first thing that comes to
3125s	mind is like dumb and mean and sarcastic
3127s	of just go get some experience U but
3129s	it's kind of it's kind of appropriate so
3131s	um start making a game start making a
3133s	game and um try and release that game it
3136s	and and try not to um try not to make it
3140s	be uh revolutionary or uh High scope or
3146s	like super fancy and and uh like
3149s	groundbreaking or anything like that no
3150s	just like make a game for your mom or
3155s	your sister or brother or best friend
3158s	down the street or you know like like
3160s	make a game that is um simple and you
3164s	know takes half an hour to play through
3167s	uh finish it complete
3169s	it
3171s	um yeah and and publish it actually
3174s	publish it go through the steps um um
3177s	you know like do do a do a tiny little
3179s	phone game and you know get a Google
3181s	Play uh account it's 50 bucks I think um
3185s	at least it was when I did it and you
3187s	know you you get just just the
3188s	experience of that process of going
3190s	through releasing a game um and I think
3193s	the the most important part about this
3195s	is is kind of it's not about um it's not
3199s	about having that experience to put on a
3200s	resume it does really help being like
3202s	here's a game that I made from scratch
3204s	myself and I released it it's really
3206s	basic here's here's one thing it kind of
3207s	does cool um but it's a really simple
3209s	game and you know you can describe it in
3211s	like three sentences it's Mario but you
3215s	uh have a a jetpack that randomly
3218s	activates in any one of the four
3220s	cardinal directions you know sort of
3221s	thing and uh for for 2 seconds at a time
3224s	and you got to like play around that or
3225s	something you know like like little
3226s	things like like so it's really easy to
3229s	explain what it
3231s	is um and I think I think that process
3234s	of just going through it is really
3236s	really valuable for your yourself to
3238s	learn if that's something you are
3239s	interested in doing every day for the
3242s	next however long cuz it is a very uh
3247s	difficult process
3250s	emotionally um and and being prepared
3253s	for that uh is is is difficult I think I
3257s	think this kind of applies to most
3259s	creative
3260s	Endeavors
3263s	um but yeah like take a project start to
3266s	finish and I think that that's the
3268s	biggest and like just a little project
3270s	in your spare time you like watch
3271s	YouTube tutorials things like that that
3273s	would be that would be where that's
3274s	where I did start um and I highly
3277s	recommend
3282s	it I also did have a computer science
3285s	degree at that point but still that's
3287s	where I I wasn't planning on going to
3288s	games at that point
3297s	all right with cycle refresh will there
3299s	be new twitch drops I don't think so
3301s	no uh hi Mike finally caught your stream
3303s	again
3305s	welcome uh hope you're doing good I am
3307s	any chees for the next big cycle update
3309s	also pet gr win oh my gosh I want a pet
3312s	girl so
3314s	bad uh a lot of armor on that actually I
3318s	I don't I don't have any major teases
3320s	for this I mean so like basically
3322s	everything I could tease was in the uh
3323s	in the post this morning so if you
3325s	haven't read that post this morning go
3326s	check that out cuz tons of awesome stuff
3329s	um I feel like I mentioned something
3330s	cool
3331s	already the the skills that get cast
3335s	from
3336s	your um when you when you a there's a
3340s	bunch of new uh shrines and a good chunk
3342s	of them are skill shrines so they just
3345s	like start spamming an ability like one
3347s	of them start just start spamming hammer
3348s	throw and if you are not a sentinel it's
3350s	just default based hammer throw but if
3352s	you're a sentinel and you have hammer
3353s	throw specialized it can throw spinning
3355s	hammers or whatever you want Hammers and
3358s	you know it's it's pretty sweet my
3361s	goodness
3369s	me that was closer than I
3376s	wanted how you feeling you're sweating
3378s	we're almost halfway through I haven't
3379s	died
3381s	yet as I got to click on a
3384s	boss oh God
3387s	uh I need to fix my resistances before I
3389s	go in there or else I'm just going to
3390s	get one
3392s	shot no potential nine forging potential
3396s	look this garbage
3399s	item
3407s	uh I'm going to actually chaos this and
3410s	try and hit void necrotic is actually
3412s	not
3414s	bad cold was pretty rough too but
3417s	uh we're we're going to try and go for
3419s	again
3421s	ah I wanted some void
3424s	res minion Health he's not dying at all
3427s	oh void res void res not chaos void res
3431s	worth don't
3435s	care Mana we don't need Mana
3452s	I mean still a useless stat but at least
3454s	got the other stuff up nice
3456s	Health
3458s	um yeah that two strength the sad two
3466s	strength I I almost just was like here
3468s	let me show you the new Infinity system
3470s	or this the priority system and just
3471s	like click all through it
3474s	uh let's try do this quick
3493s	we as
3497s	well
3499s	got let's just go try it what's the
3503s	worst that could happen
3508s	all right hello Mike hope this Friday is
3511s	treating you well it is thank you uh
3514s	it's that time again for my weekly
3515s	question any merch shop updates NOP
3518s	super excited for the refreshing event
3519s	also thank you for the great work you do
3521s	and ehg do thank you you're welcome um
3524s	nope sorry not yet I want it so
3530s	bad uh any plans for a secret level I
3532s	can do the cow level you can tell me I
3534s	won't tell you guys honest go
3537s	um you know like I can't say that we we
3540s	don't really think that might be fun to
3542s	to possibly add in but whether or not we
3545s	ever decide to not do that is is really
3549s	just it's so up in the air still that I
3551s	I can't think why we would or wouldn't
3554s	want to maybe do that but you know we'll
3556s	just have to
3562s	see confused me too I have no idea what
3564s	I just said
3570s	this H this
3572s	despair berserk rolling here we
3577s	go this world earn it do you deny it
3583s	lost
3586s	it my sh
3590s	cover lost the pattern just got
3593s	annihilated I if I knocked him off
3595s	position or
3601s	not oh
3603s	yep I saw it I'm like oh as soon as I
3607s	walked in
3610s	there I knew oh there you
3613s	goon all right we need more void
3620s	res one of these is it
3624s	void bring me the
3642s	[Music]
3646s	void where does that say the word void
3648s	on
3651s	it what am I am I blind
3658s	[Music]
3666s	what is going on one of those axes is
3668s	copied from something with void in it
3671s	it's got to
3681s	be armor mitigation applying to dots is
3684s	great for us
3689s	there Ellie I I think it might be time
3691s	to get rid of the boots
3694s	possibly this caps are crit
3707s	[Music]
3709s	avoidance I don't want to try this for
3711s	too
3712s	long let's see if we can just craft
3714s	These Boots a little bit yeah in there
3717s	thank
3718s	you uh okay what what do we want on the
3723s	[Music]
3728s	prefix think we just want move speed
3736s	right yeah great the dexterity UPS
3738s	that's what we wanted right a tuman
3740s	tuman's okay cuz it does
3745s	help uh uh the transformed version of
3748s	that it's not great should in the void R
3759s	first I'm going to try and swap those
3766s	out we have enough do we got too it we
3768s	got to redo
3770s	it okay let's pick carefully
3776s	High Health yeah we get
3780s	low okay more questions back to
3786s	it uh any plans for oh yeah you're great
3789s	answering these questions every week it
3790s	gives us so much hope for the long-term
3792s	future of this game thank you I
3793s	appreciate that I work hard at it uh how
3796s	do you do you and the team feel about
3798s	the new boss Ward tuning do you feel the
3801s	uh discrepancy of Health going down uh
3804s	is too great between health and Ward
3808s	um I I think it's I Think It's Tricky I
3810s	think that a greater variance from boss
3813s	to boss would be good at this point
3814s	that's that's where I'm leaning myself
3817s	um it is a difficult thing to answer
3818s	though because you
3820s	are
3824s	[Music]
3825s	um I think okay so over overall I think
3828s	wildly positive change compared to
3830s	compared to what we were before about
3831s	the hidden boss system I think it is
3833s	wildly positive um
3836s	so I think we are significantly stpp in
3839s	the right direction it's not perfect yet
3841s	um I'd really like to see some some
3842s	tweaks to it to find- tune it um and I
3846s	think it I think and I I could be wrong
3848s	with this this is not just a me decision
3849s	but I think the way I'm leaning towards
3851s	it myself is um higher variance from
3854s	boss to boss in both how um like what
3859s	percentage like right now it's about um
3861s	the the W bar fills and the W bar is
3863s	about 75% of the boss's Health pool
3867s	um and then it decays more so I think
3869s	the um I think I'd like to see the
3872s	Decay uh the Decay
3875s	ramp
3877s	increase so the the speed at which the
3879s	ward decays at increase faster as it as
3886s	like the I want the curve of of increase
3888s	rate to grow faster it's kind of it's
3891s	confusing but I think it would basically
3893s	mean as you're getting like it would cap
3896s	the time the Ward's going to sit there a
3898s	little bit
3899s	lower um but would have a lower wouldn't
3902s	wouldn't change too much the impact that
3904s	the ward has on uh builds that are
3907s	really um pumping out the damage and are
3908s	just getting through the ward themselves
3910s	already um I think I'd like to see a
3912s	higher variance in the um this is all
3916s	stuff that we have to debate in the
3917s	design meeting and everything and it's
3918s	way more than just me this is what I'm
3920s	going to uh talk about in it when we
3922s	talk about it next um also having a
3926s	slightly um higher variance in the ward
3931s	amount relative to the health amount so
3934s	like some enemies getting a ton of Ward
3936s	and having not much health some enemies
3937s	having a ton of health and not much Ward
3939s	you know having having it be less um
3942s	strictly linked I think it'll be
3945s	good and having that information be a
3947s	little bit more upfront
3952s	too we often do that with just putting
3954s	more war Pips in it if we want more Ward
3958s	stuff happening
3960s	um but I think having the
3963s	dynamic of of the ward percentage of the
3966s	health
3968s	value uh percentage for Ward amounts oh
3972s	my goodness I I think I said that right
3973s	being being a higher variance would be
3975s	good
3979s	too sorry if that was a lot of jum but I
3982s	probably said something wrong
3984s	there there's room to grow
3989s	all right does corruption level have any
3991s	impact on loot lizard's spawn rate ooh
3993s	good question
3998s	um uh yes it does um certain loot
4002s	lizards can only
4005s	appear uh later on so like there's
4008s	certain loot lizards that won't appear
4009s	in the campaign at all and there's
4011s	certain loot lizards that won't appear
4012s	until you get later in the campaign in
4013s	in the monolo um or they won't appear
4016s	very often until you get later in the
4017s	monolith and like the the rarer ones
4019s	show up more later
4023s	um total spawn
4025s	rate I think corrupt yeah like corrup
4028s	corruption does impact it a little bit
4030s	but I don't think it's a a huge amount I
4034s	think it's one those like indirectly it
4036s	affects it type
4038s	thing more Shrine spawn or something
4040s	like that you know like this
4046s	and the loot lizards do spawn just on
4048s	their own not just through
4050s	shrines and each loot lizard has a
4052s	chance to just like to to multiply as
4060s	well so you may have to you may have to
4062s	make some hard choices on which one to
4064s	Chase and
4069s	follow which if you do have friends
4071s	playing with it's uh not not a bad thing
4075s	um if you have to split
4081s	up cuz they will they will escape if you
4083s	let them he'd let them linger too long
4085s	they will
4089s	escape with their tail
4094s	intact there's also a little Easter egg
4097s	in there as well that you'll you'll
4100s	find I wouldn't call it a mechanical
4104s	Easter egg a uh fun Easter egg
4109s	though so don't don't try and read too
4111s	much into it when you find
4115s	it all right with 1.2 being uh partially
4119s	merged with 1.3 uh would be a great
4122s	opportunity to finally match the cycle
4124s	number three and the patch number 1.3
4126s	any chance this is happening so the
4128s	confusion is taken care of that's not a
4130s	bad idea uh it it does it does cause the
4134s	problem of like what happen happen at
4136s	1.2 right um cuz the next patch is going
4139s	to be
4140s	1.2 uh and it's kind of going to be the
4142s	fourth
4144s	cycle you know like so
4148s	it's
4151s	um they they're going to be even farther
4154s	split
4160s	now which might which might fix the
4162s	problem on its
4164s	own I don't think it will I think
4166s	something needs to be done about
4177s	it okay here we
4180s	go
4185s	Berserker almost just started singing a
4188s	song with Berserker as the uh main main
4193s	uh lyric and then realized that I'm like
4195s	well the rest of that song is very much
4197s	not
4203s	appropriate and everyone who just
4205s	understood what I was talking
4207s	about is over 30 probably over
4211s	40 all right any plans for making the
4214s	factions going against each other in a
4216s	tournament competition or an event that
4218s	make players come together weekly I'd
4220s	say unlikely um one of the key things
4223s	we're actually trying to avoid is
4224s	pitting them directly against against
4226s	each other uh like that like it's that
4229s	will bring out and really shine a light
4233s	on the differences of 62 better is it
4237s	enough that'll really shine a light on
4240s	the differences between
4242s	them enough 69 I
4249s	a this should cap our crit avoidance
4251s	right a way over capped I don't even
4254s	need that I'm CA without
4257s	it I I can find better boots than that
4260s	all they have is a little bit of void
4261s	res move speed and health I can find
4263s	better boots than
4268s	that let's let's let's take a second
4271s	take a step back here's some better
4273s	boots
4280s	um cuz we are completely wasting that
4284s	stat
4294s	boots yes I everyone's looking at me
4296s	going like uh Mike this is exactly why
4298s	we need better search in here cuz you
4300s	just put boots and void on here and it
4301s	would be great you're absolutely
4309s	right I can just do something like this
4311s	and just slap void on it
4314s	ooh ooh
4317s	ooh that might be
4325s	fixable okay we're we're going to do a
4327s	little little mini craft here cuz we can
4330s	just try and roll this into
4333s	void armor
4336s	cold Dodge
4339s	Health we came back around to a great
4341s	pair of
4342s	boots oh crap we're going to keep those
4345s	those are nice but not what we're
4346s	looking for Fire Res Fizz res let's get
4348s	some void res in there please necro res
4352s	cold
4353s	res also a good pair of boots not what
4355s	we're looking for here we go why didn't
4356s	I start with
4362s	those
4363s	wait good okay I'm not
4369s	crazy okay T5 void res strength ton of
4373s	int let's crack that int off vitality oh
4377s	here we
4379s	go
4381s	oh oh
4384s	yeah okay I know the move speeds crap on
4387s	them but you know
4389s	what look at our void rest just capped
4396s	okay thrilled about
4401s	that uni so weever will crack some
4405s	experimental stuff this
4407s	this
4409s	this
4411s	exalted they unique this is why we this
4414s	is why we need this is why we need um
4415s	stash priority
4417s	system cut that time down people saw me
4419s	like organizing my uh inventory and
4421s	stash on stream and they got so fed up
4423s	with it that they Implement
4429s	no all right the original Forum post has
4432s	mentioned dungeon Quality of Life coming
4433s	but the poll post today didn't have any
4436s	listed uh what was the quality of life
4438s	mentioned that we are getting or is it
4439s	saved for the patch notes on the 17th
4441s	it's saved for the patch notes on the
4442s	17th I think the long the short it's not
4444s	it's not a huge so we've got two stages
4446s	of dungeon quality of life improvements
4448s	coming the first stage is going to be a
4449s	little bit smaller and the second stage
4450s	is going to be a little bit bigger and
4451s	probably more things you're hoping for
4453s	um the first thing is we're kind of just
4454s	trying to cut down on some of the
4455s	initial frustration with some quick wins
4457s	from easy things like we're shrinking
4458s	the size of the zones and we are uh
4461s	shrinking the rate that the blockers
4464s	spawn at so you'll you'll have a a
4468s	less uh a much less chance of having
4470s	like inaccessible areas you'll have um
4473s	just a better chance of just gliding
4477s	through it uh and you'll be able to find
4478s	the the ends faster so the time you
4480s	spend in each one of the like floors of
4484s	the dungeon is going to be a lot smaller
4486s	which is I think like the main thing
4487s	people are hoping for um but it's not
4490s	the only thing we're doing and we do
4491s	have some
4492s	uh oh my goodness
4497s	my shadow will cover this world once
4501s	more
4506s	Bart go to the big side
4509s	Mike play the smart we don't need two
4511s	deaths in one stream that's never
4514s	happened
4516s	before my venance will be paid
4528s	this hate this
4530s	despair Oblivion burns with you I love
4534s	the roll feels so
4538s	good this world
4543s	and trying to I was trying to make my
4545s	Arena size big for uh what I had
4548s	available oh no oh no this is going to
4551s	go so badly this world more
4557s	[Music]
4562s	what's what's what's a Pokemon that
4563s	looks like my Raptor go Raptor I Choose
4568s	You
4571s	impossible will be p in
4579s	Ash this H this
4583s	despair Oblivion
4588s	to this
4590s	world got to find my new running
4596s	speed come on yes changes is that
4600s	culling hit this world is already dead
4604s	throwing damage leeches Health all right
4607s	Ward gain on kill and Decay threshold
4609s	all
4611s	right take Dodge rating better than
4614s	nothing
4615s	Grumble Grumble
4618s	Grumble all right
4625s	easy uh I think every time this happens
4627s	when I'm leveling a character I get to
4628s	that I'm like God to get my void res is
4634s	fixed I do really like those boots
4636s	though it's a lot of strength Vitality
4638s	armor it's just such a basic set of gear
4641s	but like I think I'm going to try and
4641s	seal the armor
4645s	situation like this I think that's like
4647s	sealing time we the right one when we
4650s	can seal those boots that the armor and
4653s	then get a better stat
4657s	there straight to Lon let's go straight
4665s	lagon more questions sorry if I'm
4668s	falling behind here got a little I I get
4670s	like absorbed into the game a little too
4671s	much and then I just forget about I'm
4673s	supposed to be answering questions
4677s	o I should see if I could say
4684s	[Music]
4698s	this okay see see what they say I may
4701s	have some other news see if I'm allow to
4704s	tell you
4706s	uhoh people are pinging
4708s	me oh thanks a level 65 oh you got you
4712s	got my back buddy okay as soon as this
4714s	Echo is done I'm going to switch thank
4717s	you I didn't even
4722s	notice all right great um so uh small
4725s	announcement um actually it's pretty big
4727s	announcement for me but you guys you
4729s	guge um we are heading back to Tavern
4733s	talk um carve will be joining me this
4736s	time and uh so it's going to be carve
4739s	and myself are going to be guests on
4741s	Tavern talk with uh gazzy and DM um so
4746s	that's going to be a ton of fun uh
4748s	that'll be on Tuesday uh just before the
4750s	patch so on the
4753s	17th Yeah Tuesday the 17th a patch notes
4756s	will probably have just gone out
4757s	actually oh that's good timing that was
4758s	lucky um and yeah so we're going to be
4762s	going there a couple hours um and
4765s	they'll get to answer ask us a bunch of
4767s	questions so if you have questions you
4768s	want them to ask us as well maybe get
4770s	Grill in some follow-ups and things like
4772s	that um head on over to them and I'm
4774s	sure they have places you can submit
4776s	questions or or they'll have chat open
4777s	or
4780s	something uh
4784s	[Music]
4790s	yeah that's going to be great I've been
4792s	I did that twice before both times it
4793s	was so much fun um very much looking
4795s	forward to that that's why say big
4797s	announcement for
4805s	me all right why harbingers are more
4808s	pain for melee compared to range example
4810s	Spirit of fire Harbinger with AOE do Ora
4813s	that is up like 80% of the time I mean
4816s	so there's like we try to we try to make
4819s	it you know uh reasonable for any type
4823s	of class character to build to to to to
4826s	fight the boss of of a similar level um
4829s	there are certain boss fights that we
4830s	tend to favor melee or range for we try
4833s	we try and switch those so there's a
4834s	roughly even number of those as well um
4836s	like we want the overall experience to
4838s	be fairly even for uh rang and melee but
4841s	we don't want every individual fight to
4843s	be even for ranged in melee if that
4845s	makes any sense um you we we try and
4848s	make them reasonable and possible and
4849s	doable and viable and all sort of stuff
4850s	range melee but having them be exactly
4852s	the same difficulty for each and every
4854s	situation is I think less interesting
4857s	and um I think that's one of the fun
4858s	things about having uh having a
4861s	character where you come up in
4862s	situations where you're like I am a God
4864s	look at how fast I killed this and
4866s	situations were like o here's my
4867s	character's weakness and it's like a
4869s	really tough fight that you got to
4870s	battle through and I think having those
4871s	Dynamics is really important so
4874s	um and and and right now it's probably
4877s	skewed too heavily towards favoring
4879s	ranged and too punishing for melee but
4882s	um that's not intentional
4890s	wonderful
4894s	yeah all right I find new skills are
4897s	what makes people most excited but
4898s	because of the way skills work in Le I
4900s	think that it' be hard to consistently
4902s	make new skills are there plans on
4904s	making generic skills sort of ease the
4907s	workload
4909s	um we have talked about doing generic
4912s	skills in the past one of our Core
4913s	Design pillars is class identity and
4915s	having generic skills does butt right up
4917s	against
4919s	that um we almost did a skill tree for
4922s	evade as this this would have been the
4925s	first generic skill tree that went into
4926s	the game we were very close on doing
4928s	that
4929s	um
4933s	and uh like obviously we didn't do that
4937s	uh but yeah I so it's something that
4939s	we've definitely considered and um we
4942s	are getting quite a bit quicker at
4944s	making a aome skill trees um we also
4947s	have
4948s	some other stuff that's going to work
4950s	into this well that I can't talk about
4952s	right
4952s	now
4954s	um yeah I I I you you bring up a good
4958s	concern that we've been uh and a problem
4962s	that we've been working on alleviating
4964s	for years now uh so I'm I'm confident in
4967s	our ability to uh to to keep pushing new
4971s	skills in as we go um I know we didn't
4974s	have any last patch and uh that that's
4977s	going to change going
4979s	forward you're going to start to see new
4981s	skills again we're we're uh in I'm
4983s	actually Monday morning first thing I'm
4985s	going to do is start prototyping uh or
4987s	continue prototyping a skill
4992s	um cuz the person who started it's going
4994s	on
4995s	holidays I've got a
5003s	plan that like in all real will probably
5005s	fall on its face
5008s	but you never
5012s	know oh Harbor oh yes harb let's get
5015s	this chest
5020s	first uh any plans to add more dot
5023s	mitigation aex passive tree outside of a
5025s	few specific item bases it's very
5026s	difficult to mitigate especially at high
5028s	corruption while it seems to tick so
5030s	quickly and for so much damage um yeah
5034s	there's there's definitely we' we've
5035s	been looking at uh new ways to
5039s	specialize your defenses to focus more
5041s	on uh dot
5043s	resistance uh in
5046s	general um I don't have any examples of
5048s	that right now I'm
5052s	sorry uh would you guys consider doing
5055s	challenges to unlock MTX that pair along
5057s	with new leagues oh yes I think we're if
5060s	you if you take a careful look at the um
5065s	uh announcement that went out today
5066s	there's some hints of some fledgling
5068s	versions of that
5080s	coming any word on public API anytime
5083s	soon um not nothing nothing new um we've
5087s	been so we do have a uh an API that
5091s	people do use um it's it's it's private
5094s	like invite only right now um usually
5098s	when I see this question show up like
5100s	I've answered this question a few times
5101s	on like Reddit um and almost every time
5105s	when I say like we've got one that we're
5107s	like still beta testing and we might
5109s	open it up at some point and yada yada
5111s	my followup question is usually like
5112s	what do you want to use it for and
5116s	uh basically the answer always comes
5119s	down to like well we're not doing that
5120s	the EP doesn't have that we're not
5121s	adding it it does other stuff um
5125s	so I'm curious to know what uh what
5128s	you're what you're looking to use it for
5129s	maybe I can I'll let you know if that's
5131s	something that the API does and or could
5133s	potentially
5150s	do impossible
5161s	got
5164s	him they just lobing at me over
5168s	here uh do you have any info on the
5170s	dungeon changes that are coming I think
5172s	this is old I'm going to skip it uh
5175s	still early Mike die die die oh it's
5176s	real early uhoh which of the MTX Pets
5179s	the most popular uh I don't know if it's
5181s	not my head I I bet it's I bet it's one
5184s	of the Chrono ORS
5185s	uh except the age they're they're kind
5187s	of
5189s	restricted I mean if we're just going by
5190s	sheer volume it's probably one of the
5191s	ones that was like in the twitch drops
5193s	or uh in one of the like um base tiers
5197s	something like
5200s	that someone took out
5209s	Raptor Mike so after the event end no
5211s	cycle till New Year are you going to put
5213s	some new game mechan mechanics things
5215s	till cycle uh there there we're not
5219s	planning a major patch when the event
5221s	ends that's what you're
5227s	asking oh we can switch we can switch we
5230s	can switch we can
5233s	switch oh okay this switch is I'm
5235s	realizing that the switch is going to be
5237s	substantial cuz I'm going to respect all
5238s	my passives all my skills
5247s	shoot and I'm not going to be here next
5249s	week so if I do this offline I'm never
5251s	going to do it on
5259s	stream what do I
5268s	do I don't want to do it live
5279s	do I have the off
5281s	hand I don't even have the other
5288s	one you know what I am going to not do
5295s	this
5296s	live because I realize probably missing
5299s	another one actually too I'm missing
5301s	this
5305s	yeah H I'm missing two two of the other
5308s	uniques I've only got two of the four
5309s	uniques for the build I'm going to not
5313s	waste all of your
5323s	time I want to do
5327s	it okay let's keep asking questions I
5329s	just want I just I'm too far behind on
5330s	chat I won't answer the questions
5332s	properly if I catch up on chat I'll do
5334s	it oh
5336s	that all
5338s	right uh will someone please tell mik to
5340s	switch to Raptor pack
5343s	now
5344s	[Music]
5345s	uh able to R nail
5349s	yeah uh can we get an idea of what skill
5352s	sigils planned uh skill sigils
5355s	originally planned for 1.4 R uh not
5358s	really the the only thing I can tell you
5360s	is the um their skill sigils and uh they
5365s	have something to do with
5366s	skills um and I'm working on
5376s	it it's about it
5378s	sorry all right let's say when you were
5381s	a student you wanted to make a system
5382s	from led2 etc for a final project
5386s	anything come to mind that might provide
5388s	a bite siiz challenge for reasonable
5390s	scope I uh I like the auto firing Shin's
5393s	idea hm
5396s	everything's so heavily integrated that
5397s	it's difficult to uh to do something
5399s	like that on its own
5406s	um like it's something you can like yeah
5409s	that doesn't work
5411s	either uh something you can do in a
5413s	bubble like without having to have the
5415s	rest of the project if that's what you
5416s	mean
5418s	um I mean like building like an
5420s	inventory system teaches you a lot of
5422s	data structures and
5425s	um like a a lot of working in the engine
5428s	things like that
5436s	um yeah there it's everything's just so
5452s	interconnected something something youi
5454s	heavy like that I think would be the the
5455s	place I started you're trying to have
5456s	like a bite-sized piece of
5459s	something without without the rest of
5461s	the code base you
5467s	know uh thank you for the quality Lu
5469s	coming in the update I'm so excited for
5470s	the stash tabs you're welcome reference
5472s	time 2011 oh I'm half an hour behind
5474s	okay that's good to know thank you very
5475s	much Kane um any plans to add gold
5478s	prophecies to CF players kind of feels
5480s	like I'm always out of gold compared to
5482s	Merchant's Guild um not that I know but
5484s	you're welcome to drop it in the
5485s	suggestions always a chance we add
5494s	it hurricane flamur of
5496s	[Music]
5498s	hunger sweet
5501s	name
5504s	uh yeah I saw already post about shrines
5508s	loot G's Etc my question was about
5510s	teasers for the next next cycle that's
5512s	coming Q next year ah sorry got nothing
5515s	for
5516s	you um I mean all I can tell you is what
5519s	we've already said it's it's going to be
5523s	um well go go there's a post that
5526s	references a little bit about it but I
5528s	can't remember exactly how it's word and
5529s	I don't want to say the wrong thing but
5530s	it's
5533s	um a lot of stuff from
5537s	1.3 that we weren't going to do in
5540s	1.2 you know even though it's going to
5542s	be 1.2
5548s	uh and there's there's like a list of
5549s	things we're focusing on like um ah
5554s	sorry you just you go back and read the
5556s	post I'm sorry I I don't want to say the
5558s	wrong
5558s	[Music]
5565s	thing all right why I just do a redcon
5568s	and call 1.0 cycle zero game launch so
5570s	the number of them became even with the
5572s	cycle number
5574s	changing historical things like that I
5576s	think is even harder because it it
5578s	changes all of the like any any um any
5581s	like build guide on YouTube suddenly
5583s	becomes outdated and like most people
5585s	aren't going to go back and update those
5586s	things and it gets really confusing for
5588s	the community that
5592s	way
5595s	impossible I think tying the name to it
5597s	the best like tying a tying a descriptor
5599s	name to it is the best way to do it
5605s	like instead of season 2 or cycle 2 it's
5608s	you know like harbingers a
5613s	ruin all right as far as the lore goes
5616s	can we see the aliens invade the game
5619s	additionally as far as you desire go
5621s	aliens yes or no um aliens
5628s	are so I think aliens as a concept is
5632s	fine um I think there's sort of a an
5635s	implied assumption with aliens is a
5638s	concept also including
5640s	Hightech um but aliens don't necessarily
5642s	need to be super Hightech like what if
5644s	they used magic to get here you know
5646s	then then there's no technology concerns
5649s	um not
5655s	die I don't think there's anything
5658s	specific plan for that right now
5664s	uh do we need a monok skill tree to uh
5667s	ban Arena levels LOL uh yeah I uh I I I
5672s	don't know if if specifically Banning
5673s	Arena levels is the best reason to put
5675s	that in um but yeah I
5683s	agree all right I don't think I saw it
5686s	mentioned so I'm assuming not but will
5688s	the upcoming cycle refresh include any
5689s	class or balance changes it was
5691s	mentioned it will not
5700s	uh game which suppos unique for every
5702s	skill in the game it's fun to play
5704s	different skills any new uniques for the
5705s	event not for the event um but there are
5709s	lots of uniques uh that are planned and
5712s	are coming down the pipe
5717s	um yeah there's there's there's some
5719s	cool uniques I I we don't really so we
5722s	don't look at a at a at a scill and go
5724s	hey there's no unique for this skill yet
5726s	um let's design a unique around this
5728s	skill uh or like these these these 10
5730s	skills don't have uniques let's make
5731s	sure we get 10 skills for each of these
5733s	uniques you know we don't we don't do
5734s	that per se um there is a little bit of
5737s	a like if someone's trying to design a
5739s	unique and there are 10 uniques for that
5741s	item that skill already we kind of go
5743s	does this need another one maybe maybe
5746s	just let's see if we can get the same
5748s	feel somewhere else maybe you know um so
5752s	we and I think we naturally gravitate
5754s	towards where there's more space More
5756s	Design space still um and I think you'll
5759s	see them start to to balance out a
5761s	little bit more the certain skills have
5763s	tons uniques to go with them
5770s	already oh lost
5778s	it or cold res oh 4 not that bad thought
5781s	it was worse
5787s	totally just called that attack and and
5789s	leap slam to the right spot totally by
5797s	mistake oh my goodness me that was
5809s	close wow
5820s	and shield bash
5822s	hurts
5832s	ow all right ever had something happen
5835s	to you in game and think I need to go
5837s	fix that Cod happy every single
5841s	day all right the day you fix your void
5844s	res is the day I make a loot filter I
5845s	fixed my void res oh look at that look
5848s	at
5855s	that all right I've I've had it
5857s	requested that I tell you to switch to
5859s	your Raptor pack also do you think there
5860s	could be a possibility of getting a poll
5862s	for the cycle naming convention I've had
5865s	to explain to at least three of my
5866s	friends that 1.1 wasn't a big bu fix um
5870s	and I know they're getting it was just a
5872s	season or cycle or something
5875s	um I mean 1.1 did have a ton of bug
5878s	fixes in
5885s	it but yeah I hear what you're saying
5887s	it's confusing I got it I heard you loud
5888s	and clear buddy it's
5898s	confusing all right with 28 more shrines
5901s	added to the game is the spawn rate
5903s	going to be incre inreased and with all
5904s	of the skills on the shrine is the game
5907s	performance going to be
5910s	affected um it
5913s	is uh we we we we take performance into
5916s	account with all these things very
5917s	carefully
5919s	um and uh you shouldn't see any adverse
5922s	effects of picking up the new shrines
5928s	um there
5930s	are uh I don't know if the shrine spawn
5933s	R in increased or
5938s	not it kind of has to
5941s	be it feels increased compared to like
5944s	from from this compared to what I've
5945s	been playing in like testing it feels
5947s	very
5950s	increased get back here
5970s	uh use the store sword okay fine fine
5973s	fine fine I'll switch to the sword I get
5975s	it everybody will you ever make a
5977s	contest for UniQue Ideas we've we've
5980s	done like a group submission thing where
5982s	it's like we we pull we ran polls for
5986s	like each stage of the item like the the
5988s	theme the bass type the um like the lore
5991s	behind it the art like we we did we did
5993s	a bunch of PS and that's how we got the
5995s	the void spear the void volcanic orb
5999s	spear uh which is
6002s	sweet
6005s	and um you know we we've we've there's
6009s	been a few posts that have gone out on
6010s	like Reddit where it's like hey submit
6012s	some ideas and like a few of those have
6013s	been
6015s	Incorporated um we we take ideas from
6018s	from suggestions all the time of like
6020s	people dropping our suggestion Channel
6022s	and we're like hey that's a cool idea
6023s	let's make unique out of it
6026s	um formalizing the like we're going to
6028s	make one unique from this suggestion
6030s	pool I think kind of ties our hands a
6032s	little bit uh we we're not huge on on
6035s	having to be like we have to use one of
6037s	these ideas specifically we we tend to
6040s	look at the suggestions and like pull
6043s	one thing out of it where it's like
6046s	what's the idea behind
6049s	it um and kind of like massage the feel
6054s	to be something that functions cuz a lot
6055s	of times there's there's reasons why we
6056s	can't do things that seem like it should
6059s	be obvious that we
6061s	could oh I was kind of hoping to use
6063s	that as whatever
6067s	okay we
6071s	are we're going we're going to switch
6073s	we're going to go Respec we're going to
6074s	Nuke everything I'm going to try and do
6075s	it as quickly as possible
6086s	hello traveler where is it oh it's not
6090s	here
6096s	uh
6102s	okay of course
6115s	hello
6117s	traveler
6125s	uh
6126s	one points on that uh resp nope this one
6149s	that one that's the other one I was
6150s	looking for good got
6154s	it U Max pains plus one we need
6157s	that uh we need this oh I want that one
6161s	extra
6167s	point whatever I'll get it this will
6169s	function at least I
6171s	think yeah do not dwell on the
6178s	regret
6187s	Raptor I can get rid of
6193s	that we'll get those points
6198s	back okay that's
6201s	fine go quick I don't think this much
6203s	else I actually have to like have to
6205s	change I I can just roll with that and
6206s	I'll start taking points back in
6211s	this H I need the dual wield node dang
6218s	it
6221s	right thought
6226s	ahead okay this
6230s	on um
6233s	what are we going to put in our off
6237s	hand just like a nice axxe
6240s	right nice one-handed
6246s	axe all right this one it's fire we
6249s	don't do
6259s	fire let's try and roll it into physical
6267s	multi is good
6276s	too that's too
6284s	bad okay it's not good
6295s	that's not a bad
6305s	idea the damage on is probably garbage
6307s	though is the
6310s	problem let's see let's see what happens
6312s	we change it
6317s	54 she goes up
6325s	sure
6330s	whatever all right whatever let's give
6332s	it a shot see what
6335s	happens I don't need to go to this that
6338s	way
6340s	point I'm playing too
6342s	[Music]
6344s	much that needs
6348s	it okay looking at your fight with the
6350s	black Sun just now do you think it's
6352s	okay that boss is lacking CC immunity to
6354s	pull knockback sometimes it can mess up
6356s	positioning and their mechanics make the
6357s	fight harder just not how it's supposed
6359s	to be yeah I think um I I think that
6361s	fight did illustrate very well that
6363s	there's some situations it can get into
6365s	where it needs to be knock back immune
6367s	um repositioning positioning in general
6369s	is just such a oh such a
6378s	cluster
6381s	impossible Raptor pack here here we
6389s	go go my pretties
6395s	go wait did this also give
6408s	us was intentional I swear I just needed
6410s	to like show why you shouldn't open your
6412s	menus mid
6415s	uh in in the middle of a combat zone
6418s	just just trying to illustrate a point
6420s	I'm really I'm really glad that we got
6432s	there point
6435s	there point
6439s	there got points there let's get more
6442s	points here okay good
6446s	all
6447s	right let's pretend like we know what
6449s	we're
6451s	doing back to
6453s	questions
6457s	um any plans to change Arena levels in
6460s	monos like make them more rewarding and
6462s	adding mechanics like Nemesis into it
6464s	I'd really like to uh i' really like to
6467s	to make it a little bit more dynamic
6476s	St 11 that's too bad um I I think I
6478s	think there's there's there's definitely
6479s	room for
6486s	uh I just realized why my defenses are
6489s	down because I'm dual
6492s	wielding
6494s	right okay got got to remember that
6499s	um I think there's definitely a lot more
6501s	room for Arenas to significantly
6504s	improve in
6507s	uh especially the mono versions of the
6510s	Arenas um we've done a few things
6514s	to kind of like for people who really
6516s	hate the idea of it to so they see less
6518s	of them make it easier to like you can
6520s	use the search now to to to to show them
6523s	there so you don't Ren them like in the
6524s	in the search bar there's just a little
6526s	button you piss press and uh it it
6529s	highlights them so you don't have to
6530s	like um
6534s	you can just avoid them if you want if
6536s	you really hate them um I think that's
6538s	someone mentioned earlier about like
6539s	ways to like specialize your monolith
6542s	experience to to like trade them for
6545s	things and you know similar to how
6547s	lenses work with coff um I think there's
6550s	there's room there's room for lots of
6551s	little things like that I there's also a
6553s	lot of room for um just improving that
6555s	experience in general so people don't
6557s	want to skip them as much um or if
6560s	you're like on the fence about skipping
6561s	them it's sort of like oh maybe I don't
6563s	skip them now or maybe I just don't care
6575s	anymore right in regards to the API I
6578s	understand it to be the thing needed for
6580s	player tournaments that Vision used to
6583s	run uh I'm pretty sure that part of it
6586s	is available
6600s	I could be
6602s	wrong I feel like if that was available
6604s	that we probably would have offered a
6605s	division
6607s	already I could I could be wrong in that
6609s	but I don't see why he wouldn't cuz
6611s	those were
6613s	great Raptor a name none of them have
6616s	names and have to resem them a bunch to
6618s	try and get one with a
6621s	name well the more tab icons for the
6624s	player stash we're not planning on more
6626s	right now but uh yeah I I think that
6629s	that's reasonable to add a few more but
6632s	I don't think we we're not expanding
6634s	this
6635s	time uh is there going to be something
6637s	similar to the world boss to a world
6639s	boss event we don't have any plans for a
6641s	world boss event at the
6646s	moment did I fix it properly or use or
6649s	just slap a bandage on it losing
6651s	somebody else I I I feel like like I
6653s	swapped out a piece of gear that had
6655s	aged like sour milk uh and replaced it
6660s	with a sweet piece that uh cranks up my
6665s	stats to make me awesome and also
6667s	happens to fix my void
6678s	reses uh the upcoming event this month
6681s	that grants increased gold and faction
6683s	points will this include Legacy players
6685s	yes or does it only apply to cycle no it
6688s	will apply to everybody online offline
6691s	Legacy cycle solo hardcore
6695s	standard everybody gets
6699s	it just this once everybody lives I mean
6703s	gets the Buffs I mean what where am I
6713s	die I'm I'm partway through my my uh
6717s	inaugural watching of Doctor Who and I
6719s	say Inaugural because I can already tell
6721s	I'm going back for round two at some
6732s	point in the first
6734s	season I'd started i' start I kept a
6737s	notebook on I was I was writing down I
6741s	started noticing about halfway through
6742s	the first season of the the new who um
6745s	that there was that the phrase bad wolf
6747s	was showing up in the background
6749s	randomly um and so I I started keeping a
6752s	notebook of all the places that I'd seen
6755s	it every time it showed up in an
6757s	episode just a little scratch pad on my
6759s	phone um and uh I thought I was like so
6764s	clever and then I get to the very last
6766s	spoiler on the first of a 15-year-old TV
6769s	show whatever 20-year- old TV show um
6773s	and it like reveals exactly what it all
6775s	is and shows every single one of them
6776s	and I'm like d wrote this all down for
6781s	nothing oops
6784s	whatever actually no we're going to Che
6785s	that point back
6790s	out going all the way up
6793s	there I'll learn it
6798s	again uh 1.2 and
6801s	1.3 merged into cycle 3 1.0 equal cycle
6808s	1 1.1 equal cycle 2 as easy it is and
6812s	from now we don't look
6815s	back I mean yeah that that would require
6817s	us to skip patch
6828s	1.2 which which might be the lesser the
6831s	lesser of two evils you know
6838s	know that's not that's I'm not saying
6840s	that's a terrible idea um but I think
6842s	that's the the the big opposition it
6844s	would come up
6849s	against it's such a hard thing to judge
6852s	from the
6853s	inside like to say like I think this is
6856s	going to be confusing for people or not
6857s	is is such a difficult um thing because
6862s	like
6864s	like it's it's not confusing to us
6866s	because you know it's what we sit around
6868s	hang out doing all the time talking
6870s	about it and so we we we know very
6872s	clearly what it
6874s	is and I think that's a bit of our
6876s	downfall sometimes is that we just like
6878s	well we understand it so it should be
6880s	obvious same thing and obviously we try
6881s	and put ourselves in our players shoes
6883s	and all that sort of stuff and um it's
6886s	it's it's a tricky one
6898s	D level
6900s	up okay we're putting points in this now
6906s	right I do love attacking so fast
6925s	okay more
6926s	questions uh there are more nice uh
6930s	let's just go ra to EMP power do we're
6931s	doing it live do we have cleansing yeah
6933s	we have
6936s	cleansing we have so much
6938s	cleansing Eternal we're like the cleanse
6941s	bot think we have like three abilities
6943s	at
6947s	cleanse uh what benefits does a
6949s	developer character account have
6951s	compared to a regular player character
6952s	account for example can of developer
6953s	character right click on another random
6955s	player to the
6958s	end in the end of time to view their
6960s	gear um no uh a my my account has the
6965s	the only thing my account there's one
6967s	thing my account has access to um but it
6969s	was added manually it's not automatic
6971s	it's just like the the only thing my
6973s	account has um and it's not even
6975s	exclusive to developer accounts
6977s	technically
6980s	um is I have access to all of the
6986s	stuff you know like that's that's the
6988s	only
6989s	thing
7005s	that we do we doot both the same yeah
7008s	let's do
7009s	that now I look like a paladin
7015s	I'll take it I love
7017s	it so glad we expanded that to work on
7020s	not so strict
7028s	items we we have we do have like
7031s	developer builds of the game um that's
7035s	so I guess I guess this is something my
7036s	account does have access to is that I
7038s	can log into the development builds with
7040s	my account like you need a developer
7042s	account to log into development build
7043s	even if you got your hands on a
7044s	development build it wouldn't let you in
7047s	[Music]
7049s	um
7051s	and uh so my my account has access to
7055s	that um which has access to a bunch of
7058s	like Dev tools and Dev commands and the
7060s	console and everything like that like so
7061s	there's there's a lot of stuff I can do
7063s	there
7065s	um but no in the in like the live
7067s	version of the game
7075s	it doesn't matter it doesn't matter um
7079s	I'm I'm equal completely equal footing
7081s	and everything I I don't have extra
7084s	Powers oh okay and as I'm thinking of
7086s	this yes I do have I do have a chat I do
7089s	extra chat options I can like ban people
7091s	from chat and like um you know things
7095s	like that
7096s	but that's it I swear
7103s	all right are there any plans yes I know
7105s	you said it was a mistake right
7106s	afterwards but I just like saying
7113s	it uh all right next one I assume that
7116s	question is going to be finished later
7118s	uh my current problem with trade in last
7120s	uck is that there is no trade macro to
7122s	instantly check the value of an item or
7124s	unique are any plans to adding a tool to
7126s	check prices of
7130s	items kind of
7134s	there's I I would say a goal to be able
7137s	to price check have price check tool um
7140s	plans implies we kind of know how it's
7142s	going to
7144s	happen um there's a few blockers on the
7147s	price check tool that we don't have
7148s	resolved right now um you know it's it's
7153s	I say this a lot and I try not to
7155s	overuse the term but like if I had a
7156s	magic one I can just be like price check
7158s	tool enabled yeah there'd be a price
7160s	check tool you'd be in absolutely
7169s	so it is it is omitted not for lack of
7172s	trying or
7178s	desire are there plans making 3D models
7181s	for Quivers so we can see them on the
7182s	character L game by the way thank you um
7186s	I I I don't think there's anyone working
7188s	on that right now uh however I do
7191s	believe that is on the list
7193s	and I so so so want
7200s	it we're going this
7206s	way we're getting to the end of the
7208s	stream about 5 minutes left I'll try and
7210s	answer as many questions as I can we
7212s	don't have a ton streaming in right now
7213s	but feels good this was a really good
7214s	stream I think there was lots of great
7216s	questions hope you guys got some good
7217s	answers you
7220s	liked um
7223s	one quick reminder before we do end uh
7225s	Tuesday carve one of the one of the
7228s	other designers and myself carve being
7230s	the other designer uh so the two of us
7232s	are going on Tavern talk with gazi and
7234s	DM um I think it'll be on one of their
7237s	streams I think it'll be on gazzy stream
7240s	question mark I
7242s	think but that'll be tons of fun so
7244s	looking forward to that come check us
7250s	out and if you are if you're unaware of
7252s	who they I'd be shocked but they're
7254s	they're they're two arpg
7264s	streamers if you knew about last def but
7266s	not about them I that would be
7270s	surprising but possible I don't
7275s	know all right hi Mike let's say I spend
7278s	20ish hours setting up a 100 priority
7281s	tab inside cycle what happens when the
7284s	cycle ends
7286s	ah oh good
7288s	question
7290s	um I I
7293s	think
7298s	um so we're not we're this isn't going
7301s	to be an issue until uh q1 of 2025 but
7305s	it's a good thing you're bringing up now
7306s	because it will be an issue then um and
7309s	I hope it's an issue that we can resolve
7311s	so right now what will happen is exactly
7314s	what happens to the other stash tab
7315s	properties for examp like they get all
7318s	the stash tabs get sent to Legacy um
7321s	they are remove only tabs and therefore
7323s	suddenly the priority settings don't
7325s	matter at all because they're remove
7327s	only you can't put anything into them
7328s	and the priority only affects putting
7329s	stuff into them so uh that all of that
7332s	just poof goes away which is a problem
7336s	um and I think it's the same problem we
7338s	have right now when stash Cycles uh roll
7340s	over and you you have to reset up the
7343s	names and the and the icons and the
7345s	colors and all those sorts of things so
7346s	having a um I having a stash
7355s	layout um where it I I think this is the
7359s	this is the requested feature we get a
7360s	lot and there's nothing I don't think
7362s	there's anything that we're like opposed
7363s	to with this but probably just um need
7366s	to find time and figure out how to do it
7368s	type thing is is would would be having
7371s	new tabs automat atically gain the
7373s	properties of the tabs that were there
7375s	before um I think that's the the
7377s	typically underlying request that's
7379s	here um oh hi Aaron it's you yes I know
7382s	this is the underline request that's
7383s	here didn't even see um and I I think if
7387s	if we can find a way to make that happen
7389s	I think it' be really positive
7391s	change but it's not going to be an issue
7394s	until next
7398s	year cuz that's the first time that a
7401s	priority specifically you're saying the
7403s	priority won't roll over for the first
7405s	time until uh the new
7408s	year and not like when the year rolls
7410s	over but like sometime in q1 oh I just
7413s	hit my monitor it's
7419s	fine talking with my hands
7425s	again I off center I am off center oh
7427s	this is turned
7436s	uh any chance that that if they think
7440s	you fixed your Void a loot filter is
7442s	riding on
7444s	it oh ask chat if they think you fixed
7447s	your Void a loot filter is ring okay do
7450s	you do you guys think that I fixed my
7452s	void
7453s	resistances with uh with with these
7455s	boots do you think these boots were my
7457s	way of actually fixing my void
7459s	res or not we're ready to the end of
7463s	stream it's all that
7466s	matters hey Mike any chance Prim less
7469s	will get to use bows in the future I
7470s	think there's a I think there's a very
7472s	good chance of that at some point I have
7473s	no idea when that'll happen it might be
7475s	quite a while but I I think there's a
7476s	good chance that'll happen at some point
7478s	arch with a pet ranger such an iconic
7480s	class type that is missing currently
7481s	fully agree I think that's exactly the
7483s	reason why I think it'll
7484s	happen uh I want these hunts in the next
7486s	cycle so bad but I have to wait we are
7489s	going to trust your judgment and wait a
7491s	little bit longer hunt
7492s	don't know what you're talking about
7494s	sorry uh will there be anything special
7497s	in the future with the Apple room or
7499s	other secret rooms oh u i you know
7503s	there's there's definitely room for some
7505s	cheeky cheeky special content like that
7512s	um I I'd uh I'd be surprised if we
7515s	didn't uh get get some spice in there
7517s	with it you know
7528s	[Laughter]
7531s	baroan good I like that
7533s	nice gold
7536s	star uh this is one vote for yes on your
7539s	Void res going to make it official so if
7541s	you can't ignore it haha I see one to
7543s	zero right now thanks for being awesome
7545s	your stream is very cing you're welcome
7547s	thank you appreciate you guys hanging
7548s	out having some fun
