58s let's get a hang out let's go hang out
60s see what's up
62s I'm imagining a very slow stream today
66s there'll be no
68s difficult questions we're just gonna
71s relax hang out
74s chill
79s got that nice
81s you know
94s all right
97s foreign
119s don't get popped by that
122s a random namex there's a question to
126s open the over the chat how is trade
128s going to work in last debug wow well if
131s you direct your attention to our forums
133s we have a huge post that just went up
137s yesterday I believe
140s feels like it's been like a week that's
142s been up for and I know it hasn't
144s but
146s um yeah this is all sorts of details
149s there on how the item gifting system is
151s going to work in 0.9
153s um and that's all the information we
154s have available at the moment because
156s that's all we've really settled on as a
159s firm we know what's gonna we know what
161s the item gifting for 0.9 is gonna look
163s like
164s um and that's that's where that's where
166s we're at
171s because you asked the question here
173s we'll give a brief recap in here
174s basically if you're in playing with a
177s friend anyone you're in the party you're
179s playing with them they're beside you
180s item drops for one of you you can give
182s it to the other person that's that's it
187s easy peasy
191s um some subtle details here and there if
194s you wanna we want some follow-up details
196s but that's basically it
198s how many bottles of water have you done
200s today well I mean
202s I drank uh I drank a glass of water this
205s morning
206s and then this is my this is my I filled
208s this one up for the first stream it's a
209s leader so it's my second one of those
211s today
213s so I'm pretty low on water today
215s but I'll be drinking throughout the
216s Stream
219s wow
237s at the start I'd love to have you oh
241s close call with what I'll be honest it's
243s not bad we're not using Shields right
244s that's what I can pick it up
246s I'm terrible only I'm only picking up
247s things right now that are good for this
249s character that's how I usually do
250s streams usually I'd probably pick that
252s up actually though
255s why won't you give me a direct answer
257s what are you hiding
261s very little I hope
266s all right maybe some endurance that's
269s okay we have color
274s can I gift epic shards okay so this um I
277s wasn't actually sure about this and uh
279s right now and and so I just want to
281s guess I'm gonna say this after every
282s before every question so if you hear
284s from the start and you're here to the
285s end and you get bored of me saying it
287s I'm sorry but I'm gonna say it every
288s single time currently
290s for 0.9 the way it's set up is
294s that's how I'm gonna answer all these
296s questions but currently for 0.9 the
298s weight setup is no uh crafting materials
301s themselves are not giftable
305s which sorry Aaron I know I told you the
307s opposite of that yesterday
317s um and there's it's interesting there's
318s been some there's been some things some
321s questions people have had for the system
322s that like I I hadn't even considered yet
326s um and and I've asked a few people and
328s I'm like did we talk about that I don't
330s know if we did talk about that and
331s they're kind of really Niche uh like
333s really specific cases
337s but it is interesting that's already
338s happening
340s um and and so I guess the one that came
342s up this morning was if you was if you
344s use a rune of ascendants on an item will
347s it allow you to gift that item
349s afterwards and and my assumption was no
351s because the way of doing that is it's
353s actually making a new item I didn't
355s think it would copy that property over
357s um
358s but I said someone tested and it does
360s actually copy that property over right
361s now but I don't think we're gonna have
363s it be that way for 0.9 so for what
365s people care about likely for point nine
366s it probably won't be
368s uh gift will once ascended but it might
371s be so we we've got a way to work that
373s one out still
377s I mean on the flip side you can make
379s something a legendary and trade it after
380s that gift it after that
384s because that really is
386s when you when you make it unique into a
387s legendary it just sets like a flag
391s um on the item it doesn't make a new
393s item
400s oh I just looked back over chat my
401s goodness
403s my goodness all right how do you feel
405s about those people who wanted trade for
406s last debug as a core feature from your
408s Kickstarter campaign would offer RF uh
414s no uh I think it's just the election are
417s up there
418s um
419s so I I guess the first thing is
422s clearly you're a little bit what we've
424s announced is the way we're going to be
427s releasing this for 0.9
430s um and obviously we wouldn't move not
432s obviously but we we we set it up this
434s way for many reasons personally because
436s we think right now this is going to be
438s the best thing for the game
440s and it's hopefully what we launch with
442s that's our plan
444s um
445s but all we're really saying for sure is
447s this is what it's going to be like for
448s point nine that's that's solid this is
451s the way it is for 0.9 it's too late to
453s change it for 0.9 why
457s we're not going to change it to 0.9
459s um
462s and I guess I guess what I'd say is the
465s game's not out yet
469s um
470s sort of the short answer it's I know
473s it's not a complete answer either
476s [Music]
477s um
481s and and like I I think the game's
483s evolved a lot
485s um and a lot of things that we wanted to
488s do
490s with the game when we first started
493s um a lot of things that were like we'll
495s definitely have that in it's gonna be no
496s problem slam that in Easy get to go and
499s done oh there were a lot of things that
501s we never announced in that category that
503s we've we've come to realize are we're
506s very Folly to even consider let alone
508s attempts
511s um
511s and and they got they got cut as well
513s and there's there's a lot of things that
515s have changed with what we've even even
517s things that we that we did want before
518s we don't want now
520s um
521s and a lot of that comes from feedback a
523s lot of that comes from just playing the
524s game a lot of it comes from building the
525s game
526s um
528s and I I think this is the
535s we definitely want to deliver as as
539s I don't know how to say this properly
542s the vision we had for last Epoch
544s originally is has changed over the years
547s for sure
548s um
551s and I know a lot of people who signed up
552s for it originally there's things we've
553s done already that are is not what we
556s originally envisioned and it's already
558s been a problem a few times
561s um and I think blindly sticking to what
565s we originally planned would result in a
567s much worse game and I'm not saying that
571s specifically sticking to the original
573s trade plan would make a much worse game
575s but if we just said okay well this is
577s what we said three years ago
579s uh so we have to do that no matter what
581s I think is a mistake
585s um
586s and a lot changes over time there's
588s there's things that change with with
589s just the way technology evolves as well
591s that even impacts it there's things that
592s change with like
594s all sorts of external factors can have
597s huge impacts on on what we what we
599s actually create and deliver and all
600s sorts of stuff
603s um
606s and I I think hampering us or like
610s hamstring us to say like we have to
613s stick to this one thing would be would
615s be a pretty big mistake
617s um
622s I might have some more thoughts on that
623s later it's a really important topic and
625s I don't I don't want to
627s um gloss over it or think that we take
628s it lightly or anything like that because
630s it is something that's really important
630s especially the people that that did
632s support us at the start of the game and
634s and did help and helped us get from hey
636s this would be a cool idea to hey look
639s we've got a game
641s um
644s and and we don't we don't take that uh
647s expectation lightly at all
653s so there's there's there's opposing
655s forces that need to be reconciled a
658s little bit
659s um
661s and and often up my head I'm not sure
662s the best the best answer is
666s I think specifically with the bizarre
669s um
671s it wasn't the right
673s like there's definitely problems there
676s um and if you bought the game at
678s Kickstarter specifically because that
680s bizarre one feature was the thing you
682s bought it for I'm really sorry
685s um
689s I hope that's not the case for very many
691s people
694s um and I hope there's more things you
695s can find that are fun in the game
706s foreign
712s when we finally decided like okay the
714s bazaar's gone
716s we made that announcement
718s extremely quickly
719s um for when we decided we try not to
721s hold things back as much as we can once
722s we've made decisions
724s um
725s and I know that's possibly hard to
728s believe sometimes
731s and there's been times we've said like
733s okay well maybe today's not the right
735s idea let's wait till next week but it's
736s never been like oh we'll wait a couple
738s years and then we'll say this that's
739s that's never happened
745s yeah
747s usually any sort of delay is just like
749s okay we've got to
751s format this answer and you know come up
754s with
756s um what's what's gonna happen when we do
757s say this and you know
759s all these sorts of things have
762s just building out the the contents in
765s the show that's gonna be with it that's
766s usually what creates any sort of
768s uh delay more than anything which is
770s completely necessary
772s hahaha
787s okay moving on it's been too much time
789s with that question here uh is the react
791s is the reaction what you and EHD
793s expected
795s um I I think there's there's definitely
797s some reactions I've seen that I am
801s unbelievably shocked about that I just I
804s like I see the reaction and I'm just
807s I I sit there and I read it or reread it
809s or listen to it and re-listen to it I
810s just cannot understand it it's just like
816s you know there's like I don't I don't
818s what is the reaction some for the most
821s part yes it's pretty expected it's very
823s very mixed which is I think any post on
826s trade or or gifting or anything like
829s that in in that sort of space you're
831s gonna get extremely mixed reactions
833s almost no matter what you say I don't
836s think there's any way to make a post
837s like that without mixed reactions
840s um because because there's so many
842s opposing viewpoints and conflicting
844s things that are just
846s like
849s there's yeah this is this great great
853s video
854s um
855s uh oh man I don't know what it's called
858s it's like we want you to draw three
863s uh parallel green lines
866s but they all have to be red
869s and there needs to be five of them and
872s they need to be circles so it's like
875s these things are just impossible
878s um and I wish I should do the title
881s video if anyone knows it's a great one
883s um
884s and
888s uh you know sometimes it feels a little
891s bit like that trying to um if you try
893s and hit every single requirement you're
896s gonna end up in situations where you've
898s you're just not uh you're not hitting
900s some of them like it's you you've got to
903s prioritize some things and
907s not everyone's gonna be super on board
910s with that originally or at least
911s initially
914s and I and I really hope that that once
916s people who are maybe a little more
917s skeptical of it
919s um and get a chance to play with it have
920s a chance to um
922s you know give give uh practical feedback
927s on it I practice the wrong word
929s um give feedback on the system itself
931s rather than uh expectations of the
934s system I don't know how to say this
935s properly getting in there and getting
936s your hands on it and trying it I know
937s everyone just wants to do that it's like
938s we'll release it now or whatever but
940s there's still a lot of things to be
942s worked out there
947s all right run remix you ask uh trading
951s is not giving someone something for free
953s would not be fair to say that there will
955s be no trade in last debug I think that
958s that is a
960s um there's there's a huge assumption
962s there in that question that I really do
963s want to talk about
965s um and I think that
967s uh if you add an extra premise to the
970s start of that an extra Clause instead of
972s the question the answer is yes that's
973s true however I think that there's a huge
977s portion missing from that question
980s um and that is
983s um
983s assuming that absolutely nothing changes
989s um
991s the trade system is like defining I
995s don't know how this is
997s we've not I'm not saying what
1000s um
1002s fumble up my words of my channel I'm
1004s trying to do this
1006s I'm not gonna speak to what's gonna
1008s happen at 1.0
1010s and I think I think that that's what
1012s that question's asking so I'm not going
1013s to answer the question
1016s because I don't know the answer to it
1026s okay can you gift crafted materials no
1030s uh craft materials can items be gifted
1032s multiple times yes uh can I Craft on an
1035s item then gifted yes
1041s to make a legendary item well
1043s um well with friends can I get the legit
1045s item
1046s to them or is it only items that drop so
1049s when the item drops what actually what's
1051s actually happening this might clear up a
1053s lot of things here when an item drops it
1056s writes a literal list of the people who
1058s were in the party when it dropped who
1060s are eligible to own this item it says so
1062s the item itself knows like I am eligible
1065s to be owned by
1067s uh these six people are I guess these
1069s four people at most
1072s um and that item can be then traded to
1075s any of those four people I I know I'm
1077s using the term trade here and I'm sorry
1079s I could be gifted to those people
1081s um whenever and so as long as
1085s I those four people still have that same
1087s account
1089s um
1090s they make that item can be gifted to
1092s those four people
1096s is this is I guess I should preferences
1098s again the way it's currently set up and
1100s plan for 0.9 is
1103s as soon as the item is dropped uh it
1106s records who it's for and the act of
1108s upgrading an item from a unique to a
1110s legendary does not change what item it
1112s is it uh flips a flag in the unique item
1116s which changes the color of it and
1118s changes it to a legendary type and
1120s everything like that but it's still the
1121s same item so it still retains that same
1122s list of people that can own it
1131s all right yeah so it's it's it doesn't
1133s really matter
1135s um you can you can actually drop the
1136s unique
1137s uh and then go make it into a legendary
1139s on your own and then still give that
1141s legendary way because it's still the
1142s same item that was dropped originally
1145s all right uh if I make a legendary uh
1148s it's a Merry Christmas item gifting Mike
1150s that's what we should have done we
1152s should have just themed the whole post
1153s around Santa's showing up for gifting
1155s items right
1158s here we go problem solved
1163s that would actually be a nice one to go
1164s to
1171s [Music]
1176s foreign
1178s just arrived maybe you've already talked
1180s about it maybe maybe not uh she took the
1183s first feedbacks regarding the trade
1184s deadblog how how has he taken the first
1187s feedbacks regarding the trade dead blog
1189s so
1191s um
1195s decently well I don't know
1201s I feel like I feel like everything's
1202s fine for the most part
1205s um seems to be a lot of disappointed
1206s people I'm quite happy my side don't
1208s like trading so yeah there's I just I'm
1211s trying to talk about this a little bit
1212s but there's gonna be a lot of
1213s disappointed people
1218s whether we say if we say open trade
1220s there's a lot of some white people if we
1221s say uh Auction House system there's a
1223s lot of Spanish people if we say uh
1224s limited trade system uh love this 20
1227s people like there's there's gonna be
1228s disappointment no matter what I don't
1229s think that's a reason to
1232s um just be clear that the fact that
1233s there will be discipline people no
1234s matter what is not a reason to say this
1236s is better or anything like that I don't
1238s think that the number of disappointments
1240s is a reason to evaluate the quality of
1243s the system either
1246s um and we're definitely listening to the
1247s disappointment and the feedback that
1248s we're getting from from the initial the
1250s initial reactions to uh how people feel
1252s about this and suggestions they're in
1255s um this conversation's not finished the
1256s conversation is not closed it's not
1259s um
1259s even even if we say hypothetical world
1262s we get to 1.0 and it's identical to 0.9
1265s it's purely hypothetical
1267s um
1268s the conversation is still not closed
1270s like the conversation's never closed
1272s um we I think I think we've done a
1274s really good job on I do think we
1276s continue to do a really good job of
1278s um being able to listen to
1281s uh the the feedback that we're getting
1283s and I think it's sometimes hard to see
1287s what all of the feedback is
1290s um especially because we do get a lot of
1292s feedback that's not from public channels
1294s as well
1296s um
1298s I think that's generally the best place
1299s to leave feedback for it something like
1301s this but it's not where we get all of it
1307s um
1310s [Music]
1311s well yeah let's just walk through this
1313s high damage thing you know no big deal
1315s right
1316s let's stay clear of that
1323s just heal up a little bit you know
1327s no big deal we're gonna have to rebuke
1330s yeah that sounds about right
1332s all right
1337s uh do you plan to update all cold
1339s attacks
1341s uh for example icicle Glacier Ice turns
1343s Frost number Etc I
1345s um
1347s not specifically but
1349s uh most abilities have had
1354s um almost all abilities have had some
1355s sort of updates done to them so uh the
1357s answer is probably but not specifically
1359s because they're gold
1370s respectable Philly Fair cool I wonder
1372s what question that was for
1377s oh with the kickstarter one yeah and I I
1380s think there's a lot of these questions
1381s here as well like I do my best to to
1384s answer them as completely as possible
1386s um
1387s oh without much prep
1391s um
1392s and if if we want to release I think
1395s that's a pretty big topic I think that
1396s one in particular is a really big topic
1397s and
1399s um there's a possibility that things
1400s like that might get a little bit more of
1402s a a little bit more formal response I
1406s almost said official like this is
1406s official a little bit more formal of a
1408s response um possibly on the accident
1410s Channel if it comes up again or
1412s um you know something like that and and
1414s so my wording might not be
1416s quite complete let's put it that way
1419s for a lot of these topics
1424s oh we've got Jets here answering a bunch
1427s of questions as well thanks Judd
1433s [Music]
1436s trying to be told for years we've been
1439s told that shards are considered items
1440s that like that's why you're not able to
1442s Auto pick them up Auto Sales so I won't
1444s be able to trade them later
1446s um yep that's a great question on that
1448s distinction
1451s uh
1452s maybe there's no I'm sorry I don't want
1455s to solve an answer here on that one
1456s right now
1460s fine details that I think are gonna get
1462s a lot of
1463s um a lot of attention where
1468s um
1469s there's a lot of attention is going to
1470s come from feedback for Little fine
1471s details like that
1473s um so like if we do stick with the with
1476s the system if if that is what moves
1478s forward I think that a lot of little
1480s details like that is going to be
1481s affected pretty heavily my feedback
1486s but we'll see what happens
1490s uh what would you say are some of the
1493s biggest differences between original
1494s plan and what was decided as the right
1496s way to take the game
1498s um
1506s that's a really hard hard question to
1510s answer
1511s um
1514s I think that there was
1520s possibly a
1529s it's a good question it's a really good
1530s question and I I don't have a good
1532s answer for you unfortunately I don't
1533s think I might in the second year
1539s it's hard because the the the wording of
1541s the right way to the game and the best
1544s way to take the game might not actually
1545s be the same thing weird thing to say
1549s um
1559s I think A lot's changed with the game
1561s itself
1565s um like how we play what what sort of
1567s content is available
1569s um
1569s the scope of several different systems
1572s has shifted very distinctly
1574s um
1576s and a lot of I think it's just feedback
1577s that we've gotten from people that
1579s haven't been playing it
1589s ah
1600s all right why are you making limitations
1602s on us by telling us how to play your
1604s game by that I mean why are you telling
1606s us we have to farm items instead of
1608s deciding whether to farm currency items
1609s I think that there's a
1613s um
1617s it's a heart there's a hard sentiment in
1619s that in that question that's kind of a
1621s difficult one to answer the
1627s I think I think every game developer
1628s tells every one of the players how to
1629s play their game
1631s um
1633s and and I I don't think this is
1635s sometimes it's more subtle than other
1638s times but I think that that's always
1639s there really
1641s um
1648s and I I don't know I think we're
1652s if you're gonna make a specific type of
1654s game you're you're giving people the
1655s tools to play that game the way that
1657s game is being created right
1676s oh there we go
1684s as as far as like I don't know we're
1687s trying we're trying to make
1689s this game that we want to make I don't
1692s know how else to answer that question
1709s what happened to a vibrant trading
1711s system
1712s it did not align with some other
1714s conflicting goals
1717s uh can people who just not interested in
1720s playing without trade get refunds I play
1722s Grim down on Titan Quest I know that I
1724s have no interest in the game without
1725s trading really just really don't like
1727s your just trying attitude already know I
1730s don't like it
1734s I I can't say
1736s uh a blanket statement on any sort of uh
1740s refunding stuff right now unfortunately
1747s um
1750s there's like
1754s I said this is the wrong Forum to ask
1756s that question I'm sorry I can't answer
1757s it right now
1780s it's it's it's also I I think
1784s I think this goes back as well to the
1788s this is what we've announced as going to
1790s be the
1791s system for 0.9
1796s does that have implications for the way
1798s we're leaning for 1.0 yes is that a a
1802s strict hard guarantee of what it's going
1804s to be from 1.0 no
1808s um we've we've definitely built this in
1810s the attempt to create a system for how
1812s we think it's going to go very well
1815s and be the type of game we want it to be
1818s um
1819s there's always possibility we're wrong
1821s you know
1823s and the only way we'll know that is by
1825s getting feedback from people playing it
1835s or right this is the flip side of that
1836s too
1843s how do you plan to have seasons but have
1846s no trade
1848s uh I
1850s I don't see the problem there I'm sorry
1854s uh even though I kind of like Poe I feel
1856s there are too many League mechanics at
1858s once everything is mixed together it's
1860s overwhelming do you plan to have a
1861s rotating cycle Mechanics for example a
1863s new cycle starts you have a new mechanic
1865s you keep three or four other cycle
1866s mechanics and move the rest during the
1867s cycle it would it would let people enjoy
1870s mechanics that are having tons of them
1871s happening at once
1874s um I I think we'll
1875s I
1876s little little call me a little Columbia
1878s probably
1880s um and it really depends on what it is
1881s and when when it happens so
1884s um part of why there's that issue in
1887s Path of Exile is because there's it's
1888s been going for so long and there are so
1890s many cycles and so many leagues that are
1891s they're overlapping and have a ton of
1893s mechanics and things like that that have
1894s been that have become Incorporated over
1896s the years
1897s um we definitely don't have that problem
1899s right now and at least initially I would
1901s say the chance chances are that most
1904s mechanics most of those League mechanics
1906s will become Evergreen right off the bat
1909s um and they'll probably feel more like
1913s yeah they'll probably feel more like
1915s little mini
1916s um little mini expansions and they will
1919s just a league mechanic at least
1920s initially it's it's generally what I
1923s think will happen
1928s but if this was like better base stats
1930s I'd just wear it out of spite
1932s it's not though
1935s um
1938s so I think at least initially they'll
1940s probably be mostly or if not all
1942s Evergreen Evergreen mechanics I don't
1944s know how it wants to say it that's a
1945s matter of term but um things that we'll
1947s just we'll just stay moving forward
1949s partially because
1951s um we want to build up that list of uh
1954s Indian abilities or mechanics and
1956s in-game activities to do
1958s um and then I think likely as we get
1961s further on and there's
1963s um
1964s a better a better Baseline for a
1967s baseline a better stable of
1969s finance and Unique Mechanics to play
1971s with at the end game I think then we
1973s might see like some taking the place of
1976s other ones things like that possibly but
1978s it's that's that's quite a ways down the
1980s road
1984s if people want to try the trade sorry
1986s gifting system can they just download
1988s and play D3 the only difference is
1990s there's less steps in D3 gifting system
1996s is it less steps in the d315 system I
1998s feel like it's the same thing isn't it
2005s I know it's been it's been
2007s at least a year since I played D3 at
2009s this point
2015s I I understand the sentiment I think
2016s it's a little disingenuous to say that
2018s they're the same game
2020s um
2020s and that you know like
2027s there's a lot of things that go into
2028s contribute to those things
2030s being fun or not
2032s um
2034s and so like we have very different item
2037s systems I think overall and I think
2039s there's there's a lot of things that are
2041s you know you know it's it's hard to say
2043s yes just go do that because I don't
2045s think it would I think it would give you
2047s a rough idea of a lot of the
2049s similarities but I don't think it would
2051s be a good indicator of specifically how
2053s it's gonna feel
2054s because it's a different game
2058s oh someone asked uh Misty at me
2067s oh you found the name of it the expert
2069s short comedy sketch yes that's yeah
2071s right right they kept being like well
2072s you're an expert you surely you could do
2073s this right and the expert's like well no
2076s because
2077s that's not how physics works
2086s all right
2098s uh one of the biggest concerns I see is
2100s that playing in an organized party is
2102s going to be far more effective than solo
2103s player uh due to gifting gear I know
2106s you've said that you think organized
2107s groups should be slightly more effective
2108s you think uh balance will need to be
2110s tuned further to account for this I mean
2112s it's possible there's
2115s um an extremely easy slider we have for
2117s tuning multiplayer balance uh really
2121s relative to single player like
2125s um really really easy so
2128s um
2129s we do have the ability to make those
2131s adjustments on the Fly and have made
2132s several adjustments to that system
2134s throughout the CT program already and
2136s we'll continue to
2140s I also would like to point out that the
2143s I think a lot of the rhetoric around the
2148s um
2149s the the power difference between solo
2152s and multiplayer is
2154s um
2155s very extreme
2157s especially if it hasn't been played with
2160s and I I don't keep saying it like like
2162s you need to try it to really get a feel
2164s for it and I think it's really important
2165s because
2167s um
2169s you you get very extreme examples both
2171s ways where it's like okay well I'm never
2173s gonna play out of a group now or I'm
2175s never gonna play in a group now because
2176s of this
2178s um
2179s and and if the goal there is to optimize
2181s everything
2183s for both sides but both can't be right
2188s foreign
2193s but yeah there's
2195s there's definitely adjustments to that
2198s that'll that'll happen
2200s yes
2207s all right
2210s one of the biggest concerns I see is
2212s that playing in our organized party is
2214s going to be oh did I say it yeah
2217s yep that's the same question
2221s [Music]
2229s okay moving on have any ideas on how
2231s competitive ladders will be implemented
2232s whether it be competitive multiple
2234s ladders in addition to solo cell phone
2236s competitive ladders yeah there's uh
2238s we're still
2241s um we're still we're we're still working
2243s out a few details there
2245s um
2246s as far as ssf characters specifically
2250s yeah we'll we'll be splitting ssf
2252s characters off from uh standard
2255s characters like like be able to play
2256s together characters and gift items from
2258s each other in ladders so that will be a
2260s split
2261s on the Ladders because that's a pretty
2264s big distinction Solo or not
2271s so many of these details I guess I
2272s should be prefacing them with little
2273s plan currently is
2281s just one sec
2298s I'm being told that many of the
2300s questions I'm answering have been
2301s already answered
2307s and the conversation X apparently I'm
2309s way behind
2311s not terribly uh
2313s off brand for me
2319s we're gonna get we're gonna go yes let's
2321s get some questions this way
2326s all right I'm gonna stop taking
2327s questions from chat and uh people are
2329s gonna feed me questions
2330s another way so I'm gonna be looking to
2332s the right now for questions instead of
2334s the left all right any plan to give some
2336s love to sets I feel like this is
2339s uh oh that was the same question I feel
2342s like they are quite underwhelming
2344s especially since legendaries uh exists
2348s that's special effects look nice the
2350s lack of sets in comparison with
2351s legendaries is huge yeah that's this is
2353s something that comes up pretty well
2354s every week
2356s um so yeah I can answer it the we're we
2359s still have plans to make sets
2361s um I guess emerge as their own uh item
2364s type and have their own place in the end
2367s game currently most uh set items fall
2370s into the category of leveling set item
2373s or
2374s um not really an uh a super end game set
2376s item and I think that's that's kind of a
2378s distinction that
2380s um was what one of the things that is
2382s really good about the legendary system
2384s is it does bring up set items or unique
2385s items that were not designed as NBA
2388s items to be possibly viable as n-beam
2391s items
2392s and we still have to find some sort of
2394s equivalent system for that in sets
2396s however we're not planning on making
2399s them just be legendariable through the
2403s same systems that uh uniques are
2413s oh
2414s apparently I am still taking questions
2416s from chats whoops
2426s um well
2431s so working on this doing my best he has
2433s a lot going on uh
2436s [Music]
2448s probably like look at the question and
2450s see if there's like
2451s uh already an answer for it and then
2453s like scroll back up to it
2464s uh can you maybe show your Builders are
2466s command for there is a build for it if
2468s you do
2469s um exclamation mark builds it should uh
2473s should give you a link to it and give a
2474s quick quick brief look
2477s um we're doing boy Cleveland Warpath
2479s I've been basically just warpathing a
2480s whole bunch uh void cleave is mixed in
2482s there we're procking Abyssal Echoes uh
2484s we're using anomaly for hard fights to
2486s break things up uh we're using lunge in
2488s a little bit of vulnerability while
2489s lunging
2491s um
2493s uh there's some nice little little extra
2495s things in here as well like there's
2497s there's culling and and buff for killing
2499s things with it and extra charges and
2501s things like that
2502s uh as for passes we're basically all in
2506s void night time
2508s a little bit in the Paladin mostly for
2509s the alley res
2511s umping our points right now because
2513s we're short on health
2516s uh that's for a gear
2519s just a bunch of really mediocre
2523s uh
2525s like
2526s decent not great rares for the most part
2533s this one's this is especially comical I
2535s need a better amulet
2539s big time
2541s that we we crafted this uh reflected
2544s onto there twice
2547s unfortunately
2558s which is which was payback for getting
2559s the perfect mod on this first try
2561s hahaha
2578s okay I'm just gonna answer another
2579s question here I'm sorry sorry but
2580s answered uh in regards to the current
2584s plan for item gifting is each
2585s encouraging Party play every time what's
2588s the opinion about when Cycles League
2590s Seasons come and there's only a limited
2592s time for progression poor people can get
2594s more than a quadruple times the gears no
2597s uh possible as opposed to going solo for
2601s the same amount I should look at the
2602s screen it's the same amount of time
2603s invested how this affected ladder Arena
2606s Etc um you bounce records towards
2608s multiplayer
2610s um we're hoping to have as little
2613s balance changes for drop rates for
2615s multiplayer and single player um the
2616s rhetoric that it is four times
2619s um
2620s as many items or more than four times
2622s the the gear is
2625s extremely false
2628s um that is that is not true
2631s um
2634s there is
2636s you you can theoretically funnel
2640s up to four times the gear onto one
2642s person
2644s um
2646s but there's there's lots of things that
2648s that change that math that is uh
2653s just just just like it sounds good oh
2656s it's four times the items it's not
2659s um for like just the first thing
2662s everyone would have to be the same class
2663s everyone have to be the same base class
2665s but different builds so
2668s um you'd have to have everyone as say
2670s like a sentinel but uh no two people
2674s wanting the same items
2676s uh to even come close to that four times
2679s number
2681s um and then on top of that you'd also
2683s have to
2684s very carefully orchestrate what who what
2688s goes to where and what goes to Who and
2690s the time involved with doing all of
2692s those gifts as well
2694s um and then it's also assuming that
2696s you're moving through content at an
2698s identical rate which
2702s um
2702s like enemies or enemies are harder so if
2704s one person gets a head
2706s uh they then slowed down
2709s um
2711s and I I so I like the damage output from
2713s everyone's not being accounted for 100
2714s so there's there's like there's a whole
2716s bunch of like little things that impact
2720s in theory yes in a perfect world where
2722s everyone's playing absolutely optimal
2723s and the group is absolutely 100
2725s perfectly organized
2727s it is a pretty big buff to
2730s um to finding some certain things
2733s uh that you can funnel on to one person
2736s but having it be
2738s uh just everyone gets four times the
2741s loot is is very much not how it works in
2744s reality
2745s um
2746s and so this is this is like the
2748s difference between theoretical and
2749s practical
2750s um
2753s so I I I hope that's
2756s um
2757s accepted but if you'd like to debate
2759s that more I'm happy to
2764s all right is there a plan to bring the
2767s interface in some other languages like
2768s German for example
2770s um yes we do play into localize
2772s uh the game into many different
2775s languages uh I oh go listen can I say
2778s that list
2790s okay I'm gonna say that list
2791s [Laughter]
2796s if I don't die
2800s yeah so our current our current plan our
2801s current goal that we're hoping for is to
2803s have proper localization for
2805s uh and and this this there could be
2808s something that happens here
2810s um
2811s that causes like there's always a
2814s possibility something goes wrong in one
2815s of these days and realized fully but
2816s this is what we're working towards right
2818s now
2819s um
2820s the plan is simplified Chinese French
2823s German
2825s uh Brazilian Portuguese span Spain
2828s Spanish uh polish Korean and Russian
2840s so yeah there's there's a little news
2842s leak for you
2846s and there's there's a lot that's going
2847s into that
2848s um
2850s and it's possible that some of those are
2851s some of what's happened before others
2852s still too
2854s um depending on how things go with that
2855s because there's there's some tricky
2857s stuff with
2859s um like we've made our own font for the
2861s game
2862s um
2862s it's not actually it's on some of the
2864s website stuff but it's on the game yet
2866s um which I love it maybe it is in the
2868s game I don't know actually
2871s um
2871s I don't think it's anywhere in there yet
2872s though
2874s the new font's great and
2877s um
2879s it will of course it's not in the game
2881s yet sorry
2883s um but the we don't have the character
2884s set for any other than
2887s um
2888s words that you'd find in English yet
2892s so we've got to expand that there's lots
2894s of little things that come around with
2894s localization
2896s um
2897s they're still working on
2902s oh my hand is one to the right
2907s that's an interesting one as well
2908s there's certain
2910s like if if people know this uh if you if
2912s you you may know this already but uh if
2914s you are walking
2916s and you're just you're moving with left
2917s click and you click on you your mouse
2919s goes over something that
2922s um is clickable
2924s okay I'm not gonna click I'm just gonna
2926s hold my mouse because they're down
2928s um and I'm gonna go into that portal
2930s so I didn't actually click on the portal
2932s specifically I just held my mouse closer
2933s down now this is a problem with things
2935s like waypoints on the ground so you're
2937s moving you're moving and like I'm not
2939s clicking here
2940s um but this just pops up even though I
2942s didn't like specifically click on it I
2943s imagine running away from something
2944s which the problem with um waypoints in
2947s combat zones and so we just just just
2950s just added the ability to tag things
2953s that are interactable with requiring a
2955s unique click for them
2958s so good then that's good at least
2981s all right I've seen ehg mention open
2983s trade very often yet no one is asking
2985s for full open trade we're asking for a
2988s trade of some sort and not full up and
2990s trade and gifting is not a trade it's
2992s literally D3 system with extra steps so
2995s I am there's
2998s [Music]
2998s um
3000s thanks for the comments I uh
3003s I just like to be clear
3005s that I you can't focus one Viewpoint for
3009s the whole Community because the whole
3011s Community does not agree on what the
3013s community would like
3014s um there are many people in the
3017s community who are who would agree with
3018s you and there are many people in the
3019s community who would disagree with you on
3020s what you're asking for because I I do
3023s get requests for full open trade a lot
3027s um I get requests for absolutely no
3029s trade not even the gifting system a lot
3031s like so there's there's pretty distinct
3033s extreme examples on
3036s everywhere
3047s all right
3050s that's a good question can you guys have
3052s just two modes and select making a
3053s character one with open traded one with
3055s no trade I feel like this would make a
3056s lot more players happy
3058s um there's a possibility that it could
3059s have a positive impact
3062s um it also has a pretty important
3064s negative impact which we have to weigh
3067s um and it's it's one of the main reasons
3070s why we haven't introduced this as an
3071s option so far uh and that is it it
3075s splits the community
3077s um
3079s and it means that
3084s um it means that there's
3089s a possible requirement to have
3094s um different drop rates and then there
3096s comes the question of like okay well can
3098s you then
3100s um
3101s like move a character from The Good drop
3103s right to the bad drop rate system you
3105s know that sort of stuff and it's it's
3107s pretty messy we kind of doing that
3109s already with ssf so like you really
3111s don't want any of that stuff you can
3112s just play ssf and there you go you're
3113s good to go
3116s um
3119s but there's no the other half that the
3120s pure trades not there
3131s oh careful buddy
3133s just you know take a little brother
3137s let's do this
3144s attack rate goes up our lead rate goes
3146s up
3148s so much more survival than we have that
3149s on
3153s I'm gonna I'm gonna scroll heads and
3154s there's a lot of really old questions
3155s here
3159s uh it's not gonna try and I'm gonna jump
3161s out a little bit
3163s any combat fuel spoilers for today and
3165s how much graphically game can be
3167s improved in theory zones and skills I
3170s mean yeah we've got
3172s um
3174s we've we've definitely got lots of
3177s graphical updates I think there's lots
3179s of room for more of them coming too I do
3181s have one a little spoiler for later on
3184s uh Graphics updates
3191s um I'll share it a little bit I got I
3193s got one here after this
3194s after this I'll share one with you
3213s hey Mike asking for a friend to Spring
3215s and we'll get movement booster skill for
3217s 0.9 I'm gonna see what I said last time
3219s um which is still no more information
3220s really but hopefully it means something
3224s um because I don't think it was hurt
3224s last night which was uh we don't want
3226s people to be restricted from playing
3229s with friends uh based on their class
3232s choices
3234s um so if you if you're like I want to
3235s play spriggan and
3237s um I'm like okay well I want to play
3239s Sentinel
3240s um and I'm gonna just race away from you
3242s with my lunge and you're gonna be left
3244s in the Lurch too bad so sad
3246s um we want to avoid situations like that
3256s so having having a way that players can
3258s uh can keep up if they want to
3262s be surprised if they didn't
3265s is important regardless of what class
3267s they're playing and we're taking steps
3268s to make sure that that's the case
3270s um and it's not just sprigging it's
3271s affected I think spring is probably the
3273s the poster child for this problem
3275s um but just Primus in general uh well
3278s not strictly problems in general but um
3280s Fury leap has a little bit of issue with
3282s it I think
3288s foreign
3308s just dumping a few things you know
3320s you're pretty close was it 900
3326s what is it
3331s oh yes the giant 900 that's right there
3334s that's been covered by the uh tooltip
3336s that is only looking at this text box
3338s and not the other one that's my fault
3341s oh
3342s all right
3346s let's do this one
3348s why not
3356s the 4X or more is talking about uh in
3358s regards to time investment yes I agree
3361s that's why it's wrong uh going party
3363s only needs one stability and Boss run to
3365s four times the chances to drop an item
3368s which is
3369s way less as opposed to going solo
3372s running a boss build up stability and
3374s repeat the process four times on cycles
3376s and leagues that has limited period
3377s Co-op play would just destroy those who
3379s prefer solo they can get to Optimal gear
3382s easier so I
3384s there might be something missing here
3385s but you see if you have four people that
3389s are doing their own timelines and going
3391s through to get their own to kill the
3393s boss themselves or four people in one
3396s party doing it and
3399s um those people are going through those
3400s timelines that a very similar pace
3404s which is what happens it's a very
3406s similar pace
3408s um
3409s you get four uniques dropped in this
3411s category and four unique struct in this
3413s category and and yes I agree that you
3416s could then trade these four uniques
3417s amongst each other but there's still one
3419s per person and one per person like it's
3421s still the same number of items
3424s right
3425s um
3427s so you could funnel all of that to one
3429s person so one person's getting up to
3432s four times the number of unique drops
3434s out of that final thing
3436s um and
3439s three people are getting nothing
3441s um so you you can you can do something
3443s like that to to to funnel that but it's
3446s not four times the items
3453s right
3476s and it's it's you end up going faster
3480s generally I find myself going through
3482s them faster solo as well
3484s like I've done this with a bunch of
3486s friends
3487s uh
3489s and it uh it always ends up going faster
3491s on my own
3495s way across nice all right question will
3498s there be a way to party with strangers
3499s uh like a party finder type of system we
3503s don't have one planned currently
3505s um that's not to say we'll never make
3506s one but there's not one currently on the
3509s books
3513s foreign
3514s there is good old good old chat
3533s oh I forgot to show the spoiler I'm
3534s sorry
3536s I'm sorry what are you doing Mike
3545s hey peek here
3547s a little shiny one from primalists oh
3561s what do you think of making inventory
3563s where items go into the slots bigger
3565s size 52 let's say so we can see details
3569s on those uniques better oh like a um
3573s as you're saying like like a an art
3575s viewer
3577s um I think it's a great idea and we've
3578s definitely talked about it
3581s um
3582s definitely talked about having something
3584s like that because the art that is in
3585s there of the 2D art is just unreal
3589s um
3590s and and a lot of it especially the
3591s smaller item slots like especially like
3593s belts and things like that I was still
3595s my inventory in the show but something
3596s but I can't really see it that well I
3599s think I think a lot of the smaller items
3600s especially the art gets lost in the
3601s signs so I I'd love that
3609s can you say anything about supporting
3610s overlay add-ons
3612s um not at 1.0
3616s foreign
3620s [Laughter]
3623s I appreciate that I do
3639s uh given some common shareholders will
3642s we ever see Chris Wilson face on a
3646s okay oh will we ever see Chris Wilson's
3649s face on a cape and last epoch
3652s doubt it I pretty shocked at that half
3656s no plans for that at the moment
3659s one of the things we do really strong
3661s this is actually a poor topic it's one
3662s of the things we've started to do with
3663s all of our
3665s um
3667s uh all of our MTX and things like that
3669s in game is
3672s um
3672s is is having uh in Universe reasons for
3676s it existing and
3678s um
3681s uh at least right now
3684s Chris Wilson does not exist in the world
3686s of the last epoch
3699s I know I skipped I skipped a big chunk
3701s of questions there's a lot being
3702s answered by multiple people there so if
3704s I did miss any questions I'm actually
3705s caught up now I thought it was further
3707s behind the map
3708s um if I did miss your question please
3711s feel free to repost it and I will go for
3713s it
3717s NFC named voice Carlson confirmed uh no
3722s nfcs no no no no no no no no no no no no
3723s no no no
3726s no
3733s I will fight to the nail against nfcs
3735s being evolved
3749s oh God
3756s judge judges has a jet uh I'll ask Chris
3758s if he'd like to be in a MTX cable call
3762s it Chris Wilson Cape skill two birds
3764s with one stone gross gross
3768s boo
3774s why do I love it
3782s all right here we go it's like my one of
3786s my favorite vvfx animations in the game
3787s still I know I know a lot of people
3789s think it's too bright and we'll still
3790s see what happens but I love this I love
3793s this little thing
3796s that's one of my favorites
3807s I was watching something and uh
3810s um Mythic Quest and they
3813s um they they tried to it's a TV show
3816s about game development
3818s um loose Loosely based on game
3821s development I think
3823s um
3824s there's definitely been some some
3826s conversations I've seen that I'm like oh
3827s my god I've had that conversation
3828s exactly uh but but for the most part
3831s it's pretty loose I think and uh they're
3834s talking about trying to put nfcs in the
3836s game and it it just went so horribly
3838s wrong that was I thought it was funny
3850s all right
3853s watch
3856s so pretty
3859s you know what I should do
3861s oh how hard this is but I should put
3863s like something on my screen to like
3865s remind myself where the like edge of
3868s this is it's like something roughly
3870s there oh it's pretty close
3878s over there we're there
3880s let's go
3882s judge once more forward onto the void
3892s foreign
3897s build just went out
3904s this is a mercy all right here
3911s do not stand in my way
3925s oh my goodness stand in my
3933s water
3935s oops nope that's
3938s stream chat don't click on that Mike
3960s my way
3972s Behold The Rage of winter this is a
3976s mercy
3978s shutter
3980s dizzy in here now we're spinning hard
3985s oh yeah there we go
3991s realize they're gonna like make sure
3992s I've got Mana
4007s okay
4009s any chance in the future for a higher
4011s tier of legendary unique I'd be very
4014s surprised
4016s um
4017s it's kind of like the definition of
4018s feature creep or power creeps are not
4020s featuring power creep uh I think we're
4022s more likely to see
4025s um
4025s like for example set items having a way
4028s to compete to be something else it's a
4030s viable option
4032s um but like like on the same tier
4034s anyways there's there's
4037s um not we're not looking at adding in a
4040s higher tier above legendary
4043s um but having set items be possibly
4046s on the same level and like there's
4048s there's situations where we want like a
4051s unique to or an exalted I'd be the right
4053s choice and I think I think in a perfect
4056s world
4058s um there'd be no consistent like
4062s um best in slot all items on your
4064s character are purple best in slot all
4067s items in your character are red best in
4068s slot oh I didn't see your contributing
4069s like those situations are not ideal I
4073s think
4076s um and I I'd like to see for and I I'm
4079s really generalizing here so I'm sure
4081s there'll be some builds where this is
4082s just wrong but for the most part we'd
4084s like to see where having
4086s um
4087s do not have having many different item
4090s Types on your uh on your character be
4095s the uh the the the desired
4101s Style
4107s okay we're almost there
4113s all right
4114s we're not replacing this at the same
4115s level we might keep it but
4117s uh chill Fizz res and we could this
4121s isn't bad cause we could just drop all
4122s our Fizz res off our gear grease armor
4124s that's actually really nice
4128s because physical resistance shred on how
4131s that's all we want we don't want that so
4132s it's
4133s armor Fizz res or just leave the
4136s endurance threshold
4150s we're so much overcast on physical
4152s already I don't think it's a good idea
4155s like yeah I could cut out a lot of
4157s places but like
4161s I don't think we'd see much
4164s from that right away I'm kind of leaning
4166s towards the armor
4182s which arms that pulls up to it's like
4183s it's an extra five percent
4185s on on uh
4187s physical hits that's that's that's
4189s decent actually
4200s as opposed to 57 on
4203s 58 of our health or whatever it was
4210s who knows
4213s all right regarding trade I personally
4216s agree with the overall philosophy of EG
4217s and last Epoch Elias with uh is without
4221s Ellie's about earning your gear farming
4224s your gear and making own your own build
4226s making unique builds having that feeling
4228s of achievement that you are
4230s uh that you as a player made the build
4232s and earned every piece of gear trade can
4234s potentially take away from that goal
4235s it's not incorrectly love the fact that
4237s I can give to Mr friends I play with uh
4240s and that is planned to be part of 0.9 I
4241s have the almost faith that Ichi can come
4243s up with a trade system that works with
4245s their vision of uh what they want less
4247s ebook to be my thoughts maybe some kind
4250s of trade gated trading account time
4253s gated trading currency to facilitate
4255s trades for specific items either way
4257s please know issue that uh there are
4259s players like myself that appreciate your
4261s vision for that
4262s I appreciate that thank you
4265s thanks bud and thank you very much to uh
4270s real estate
4272s release seed release said dude release
4275s said
4276s I uh oh release A.D this is the problem
4280s in in the in the one one thing it
4282s doesn't do the capitalizations which
4283s like says so much about what the word is
4286s I'm like it's released with a weird a in
4288s there
4290s foreign
4295s oh gosh I'm dropping stuff without
4297s staying on the ground
4305s turn off the heat and open a window
4306s because it's warm in here
4309s all right what are we still missing
4310s we've got Grand
4313s ah it's less important yeah let's go
4316s over here
4323s yeah I got there don't worry bud
4326s figured it out
4328s took me way too long I'm embarrassingly
4331s long time really
4365s apparently we may know who that is
4368s sorry man my bad
4377s yep
4378s yep yep that's uh it's just me being
4382s terrible at least listen to that someone
4384s who uh who who we know instead of
4388s someone else
4401s that boss I just killed is so tough in
4402s springform yeah you get stuck in the um
4406s get stuck in the hurricane when it
4407s dashes away right
4410s It's Tricky
4423s I mean I know I know this is not a
4425s long-term solution at all
4428s um and it just sucks to do because it's
4430s the the time on it's so clunky but you
4432s can shift out and barely
4440s hey Aaron you'd like to formally invite
4443s me to a future this week in action
4445s podcast I I don't see why not myself
4450s um I'm not gonna give you a firm a firm
4453s yes Noah I'd love to join you
4455s um
4457s Future's pretty vague I'd be surprised
4459s if you can't make something work
4460s eventually
4469s [Laughter]
4475s guilty ah
4478s come on let me at least leave some room
4479s for ambiguity please huh
4487s drink lots of water everybody
4491s I actually just realized I don't know
4493s how to make this one realized but like
4494s the main spoiler I have for this stream
4496s uh it's like the most perfect build I
4499s could be playing for it
4506s adding on to uh what Master story talked
4509s about potential time getting gifting has
4510s the idea been discussed as some kind of
4512s trade token used to trade with specific
4515s player that is earned by playing with
4517s that with that player perhaps even
4519s exclusively yeah so the
4521s um
4522s I I guess this question is asking is is
4524s having
4527s um like
4529s uh like uh my best friend that you can
4532s like say like hey this person's someone
4534s I play with and they're my best friend
4535s in the game and we can just trade items
4537s between each other freely and like uh
4541s you could you can like give that one
4543s person your token and and they give you
4545s theirs and it's like okay we can trade
4547s stuff each other even if we're not
4547s playing together when it drops
4550s um
4551s and
4553s this is why I assumed the uh
4556s uh the question is asking I think this
4559s one is basically and I think that
4563s uh we we definitely explored this type
4565s of
4566s um uh system as an option this is
4568s something that's something we talked
4569s very in depth about
4571s um we had a name for it we had a cool
4573s name for it even
4575s um and like a few points it wasn't like
4577s just one person
4580s um it was a group of people things like
4581s that and and there's there's lots of
4582s different things we've talked about and
4584s considered and looked into and
4588s a lot of the
4592s um
4593s person quantity restrictions like that
4598s uh often often and I'm not saying this
4601s is for every single one but often end up
4602s feeling very arbitrary
4605s um
4606s and and and kind of a slippery slope of
4609s well okay if you can do this well then
4611s we can orchestrate through some sort of
4614s like delayed system of you can do this
4617s other thing and then
4620s um
4622s okay well if you can do that then you
4624s might as well enable this one little
4625s thing which ends up enabling this other
4627s little thing and it's it's it ends up
4629s being like a lot of little decisions of
4631s cascading like for almost everyone this
4634s is the this is the the like uh the way
4637s that they would use it and then the
4638s abuse case just wrecks it
4641s because in a lot of situations with
4643s things like this abuse cases are
4646s um not something that people want to do
4648s if they if if they were said like
4651s okay here you can you can take action a
4653s uh that is let's go do something fun and
4656s you get reward a
4658s um or you can take action B that's not
4661s really that fun but you get reward B and
4663s you also get reward a as well so you do
4665s this and it's not very fun but you get
4666s double the Rewards or you do this thing
4668s that's fun and you get half the rewards
4670s and even if you're like I want to do the
4673s fun thing I want to do the the the the
4675s less crazy ridiculous way
4678s um you end up
4680s doing the crazy ridiculous way because
4682s you get more rewards and that that
4683s incentive that draw is so great in some
4685s certain circumstances that it's it'll
4688s have you doing things that you don't
4689s find fun to earn this reward
4693s um and a lot of the trade systems that
4695s we work through and and
4698s um
4699s and and looked at if if we thought it
4701s was a good fit or anything like that a
4702s lot of them kind of came down to
4705s that happens in a lot of cases and and
4707s definitely not all of them and there's
4708s lots of ways around a lot of them too
4710s but there's like
4711s a lot of times it boiled down to that
4714s um
4715s and and so several systems got scrapped
4717s because of that
4719s or or let me phrase that that was a
4722s contributing factor to several systems
4723s getting scrapped or not scrap denied
4726s entry
4734s and you know maybe there's a way to fix
4735s some of those maybe there's a way we
4737s didn't think of in some cases
4745s foreign
4755s [Music]
4764s we don't have plans for that at the
4767s moment
4768s um at least in 0.9 there will not be
4770s that available in 0.9 it will be
4772s strictly uh item gifting to people who
4775s were in the party when it dropped in in
4776s the zone when I dropped
4782s which is basically the same thing
4790s thank you very much
4792s uh Kent Rock
4794s nailed that one so good
4798s glad to have you here hope you're having
4800s fun enjoying yourself learning something
4801s new maybe teach me something new that's
4803s good thing to do here too
4805s all right how does vault in lightless
4808s Arbor work when it comes to multiplayer
4810s does every party member in there have to
4813s interact with the door so if you have a
4816s friend with 800 000 gold and you have
4818s zero gold or you're left with no reward
4819s or will you receive the same reward as
4821s your friend so this is a really really
4823s interesting one
4825s um and it's I would say subject to
4828s feedback pretty heavily still but the
4830s plan for point nine and I I really like
4832s it and I I'd be surprised if we didn't
4834s go with this for 0.9 at least
4837s um but the plan is that we are going to
4839s have
4841s um one person
4843s pays the money
4845s whoever whoever wants to start paying
4846s the money that person is the one who
4847s pays the money no one else pays anything
4851s um
4852s and so you go in and you
4856s um
4857s but but the only the person who so
4859s everyone who doesn't pay anything
4862s um only gets partial Rewards
4866s um so there's there's this like you can
4869s you can mooch off your friends but you
4871s can't quite get full rewards which is
4873s not your friends
4874s um
4876s and and we're still really testing that
4880s um
4881s and we're still really trying to figure
4884s out exactly the best way to do it and
4886s all those sorts of things and and so far
4888s it's been pretty positive feedback on
4890s that
4892s um
4895s yeah
4897s right right now it's we really want to
4899s avoid the situation of and this is this
4901s goes back to the key like the needing a
4903s keys to enter the dungeons in the first
4904s place it's basically the same reason
4905s behind that where we don't want you to
4908s go into a um
4911s into a dungeon and say like okay we're
4914s doing dungeons with my friends and okay
4916s well we gotta stop because Johnny ran
4918s out of gold so we gotta stop or Timmy
4920s ran out of keys so we gotta stop
4922s um or or Timmy ride the keys so we so
4924s we're gonna keep going and Lead Timmy
4925s behind
4926s um and Johnny ran out of gold so he's
4928s not gonna get much from the wave rewards
4929s so we're gonna keep going and those two
4931s can go farm up the things they need no
4933s we want people to still be able to play
4934s together
4935s um and and have it feel like a rewarding
4938s experience still so we're going to the
4940s plan right now for point nine is to have
4944s um
4945s one person pay
4947s and everyone who doesn't pay gets uh
4950s less rewards than the person who does
4952s pay but it's still
4955s um
4956s like the same type of rewards that makes
4958s any sense
4960s the specific details about that ratio is
4962s is uh
4964s very much upper change still
4972s come on just this
4976s why why
4982s all right any chance at 1.0 to have
4986s uniques that have skills that proc other
4988s skills
4989s uh example when you when you leave it
4992s causes earthquake and Landing uh yes
4994s because we already have those so yeah
4996s we're gonna keep doing those
5002s uh I I think do you literally quote
5006s exactly and a item we already have yes
5011s the example you used is literally an
5014s item in the game it's called balder's
5016s wrath I'm not sure if you knew that or
5017s not
5024s uh it wasn't quite clear I more meant
5026s that you generate some sort of gift
5028s points towards the player by playing
5030s with them and giving them items costs
5033s those gift points potentially with
5035s gifting powerful items to weaker
5037s characters costing more
5039s um are there more possibly some big uh
5041s abuse cases like this that's interesting
5043s I this a system we had discussed that's
5046s kind of similar but you've actually got
5047s some unique stuff in there which is
5048s interesting
5050s um and
5053s um
5054s I wouldn't say impossible but the big
5057s like if you're gonna say like okay poke
5059s holes in this in this idea see see what
5061s we see what comes up uh the the first
5064s thing that comes to mind is the
5065s complexity of the system
5069s um
5072s I don't think there's much of an abused
5074s case uh the the what I like about it is
5078s that it does emphasize you playing
5079s together
5081s um
5085s I I I I think that there would be a lot
5088s of complexity problems with it
5091s um like like what's what's the most
5093s efficient way to farm points together
5096s um would become a pretty common question
5099s and like
5101s um the balance around how many points it
5103s takes to to send every item I think
5105s would be contentious I don't know I
5108s don't think this is things that would
5109s preclude from The Impossible but like
5110s there's there's definitely complexity
5112s issues and some of the ideas we've we've
5114s talked about the the main reason they've
5115s been shut down is due to complexity
5117s issues
5125s I don't know
5128s a drop rate is going to be affected in
5130s multiplayer with a group or does
5132s everyone get the same drop rates
5134s um they would playing solo currently
5137s um
5139s there's no plan to have different drop
5142s rates per person
5144s um
5146s based on the number of people in the
5148s party so the whether you're in a party
5151s on your own or with four people total
5156s um a few other people there's there's
5157s the same when when a boss dies it
5160s doesn't say
5162s okay how many people are in the party
5163s okay now let's calculate the the drops
5165s it's just your boss died calculate the
5167s drops and it doesn't matter if you're a
5169s part of you solo whatever
5190s Timmy wants stacking keys
5195s I think we can slip in one more teaser
5198s here before I jump into the next
5201s here we go
5206s before before I do I'm just gonna do
5208s this real quick
5220s yeah
5222s yeah that's the good stuff right there
5229s foreign
5231s so this is uh updated VFX for
5235s um
5236s void version of Warpath
5241s as you can see in the game right there
5246s so there's a little bit of a
5248s combat VFX feel update you can also see
5250s there's
5251s um enemies that are that are taking hits
5253s or getting
5254s um staggered a little bit in some cases
5256s uh there's the death animations
5260s um there's hippie effects Happening Here
5263s um
5264s one of those new stuffs in there as well
5266s there's so many little things
5277s is that a two-hand specific act specific
5279s I uh well the the VFX for each one of
5282s them is a little bit different
5284s um this is the one for the 200x the
5286s other ones are still
5288s like similar but they've all been
5291s updated
5296s you can see the big frost Golem sort of
5298s hitting hit boom boom stagger stagger
5300s right there yeah
5302s I love that those the Stagger animations
5304s that's I don't weirdly like it
5312s increase salt and damage we can take
5314s that for a couple of cliffs there but
5315s yeah oh yeah
5323s all right
5325s let's get back into it it's it's
5327s taking some beats there
5331s it's interesting like we're using the
5332s exact same ability here with the same
5334s two-headed ax thing so you can see the
5335s difference here and I really like the
5337s one of the things I really like about
5338s the new one is the
5340s um the feel of it is something that's
5341s spinning around instead of just this
5343s blur of of death spiral around you which
5347s is which is like I do still really like
5349s this one
5350s um and it's funny when there's a VFX
5352s that you like really like and I think a
5353s few weeks ago I actually was talking
5354s about how much I like this VFX
5356s um and then when it comes along that you
5357s like more and all you can see is the
5358s better one you're like
5365s what just
5369s close I did rebuke that I think at least
5373s I tried to maybe I just can eat those
5374s hits
5379s all right tank Libs uh I've really been
5382s enjoying all the communications lately
5384s will it be more of that uh we can expect
5386s or not much other big items to detail uh
5388s I don't think there's any
5390s um
5391s anything quite as large a caliber uh to
5394s discuss uh before the end of the year
5397s um I don't think there's anything quite
5399s as large a caliber to discuss
5401s um as trade probably much at all
5406s um
5408s just because of how how huge trade is as
5412s a topic in general but yeah there's
5414s um there's definitely more things to
5416s talk about but uh not not quite in the
5419s same
5420s same size
5424s I think I think we'll be looking more to
5429s um to January for major updates
5434s um I'll still be here next week little
5436s little things we'll be squeaking out
5437s still
5439s um we will take a break over Christmas
5442s um
5443s for all of you that celebrate Christmas
5444s and uh just a regular break for
5447s everybody doesn't
5461s I'm trying I'm trying to work something
5463s for next stream we'll see if it happens
5466s hope it does we'll see
5473s all right
5475s uh security consultant inside has a
5478s little smile every time you mention
5480s abuse cases when designing systems
5482s within the last Epoch how do you draw
5483s balance between mitigating risk uh and
5486s mitigating enough risk somebody getting
5488s all risk into getting enough risk
5490s um that's a great question uh a lot of
5493s it comes down to feedback and feel
5498s um
5501s where
5503s you'll you'll quite have to get a pretty
5504s clear
5505s answer from people of like
5508s what's a good example here I I think the
5511s the line usually is
5513s um
5514s and this kind of comes back to a song to
5516s you earlier is when the abuse case uh
5519s has a reward strong enough to pull
5522s someone from their normal uh normal use
5525s case into the abused case that wouldn't
5526s do it normally
5528s so uh say you have a case that is
5531s [Music]
5531s um
5532s an abuse case that most people are just
5535s like okay the abuse case gets me uh an
5538s extra one percent items and it kind of
5542s sucks to do or it's complicated
5545s um and like I have to like research how
5547s to do it um and it's not it's like it's
5549s not something I just know how to do I
5550s have to like learn it and set things up
5552s to do it but it only gets me this tiny
5553s little bit of like one percent extra
5555s stuff who cares
5557s um probably wouldn't be
5559s too concerning
5561s but once that abused case is
5564s uh enticing enough that it starts
5567s pulling people out of their normal play
5568s patterns into the abuse case play
5570s pattern it is
5572s um probably worth looking at
5575s and evaluating if if it's going to be
5578s bad
5579s because usually it's it's
5582s um
5584s it's it's it's a very slow like okay
5586s it's like it's fine it's fine it's fine
5588s it's fine it's filling out it's a bad
5590s enough but it's filling up it's feeling
5591s it's fine it's fine it's fine and then
5593s something something tips and it suddenly
5595s goes from this is sort of a whatever and
5599s then it tips into an
5602s overwhelming problem it's sort of All or
5604s Nothing in a lot of cases with
5605s situations like this
5617s is this is where my necrotic poison
5619s resistance really shine
5626s so good
5628s oh
5630s glancing away old Lydia
5633s uh so if uh drop rates are the same for
5637s each individual in a party and you let
5639s people in a party gift items to each
5641s other doesn't that create an advantage
5643s and incentive to play multiple rather
5645s than solo
5646s um that is an element of advantage to
5649s playing multiplayer yes
5652s um
5654s now now we're gonna we're gonna jump uh
5657s jump a logic stuff here in the next part
5658s of the question uh four x drops and an
5660s easier time getting what you are farming
5662s uh
5664s what you're a farming farm would
5667s disagree uh I I know it has been
5669s mentioned that the team didn't want to
5671s reward people for playing multiple
5672s versus solo
5675s I don't remember that it sounds like it
5678s might be a big incentive advantage to
5679s teaming up am I misunderstanding
5681s something here yes I think you are um I
5683s think it comes from this this like this
5685s number of four times drops
5687s um which is not true and I've been over
5689s that before the stream and we can cover
5691s it more if you'd like but
5693s um I'm gonna proceed with the knowledge
5695s that it's not true
5697s um
5700s uh
5702s yeah yeah it does incentivize
5705s um playing in a party definitely I think
5708s there are
5709s uh I think games like this
5712s with
5715s I think if you're gonna pick one way or
5717s the other to go
5720s it's generally going to be more fun to
5722s have incentives to play in a party than
5724s not I think when there's I think this is
5727s exactly what we're just talking about
5728s with exploit cases
5730s um
5731s when it tips too far and I think the
5733s perception is that four times would be
5736s too far and four times might be too far
5738s but it's not four times so we can talk
5740s about what it actually is
5742s um I don't know what the number actually
5743s is but it's definitely not four times
5744s that's just
5746s it has to be less than that so it is
5751s um
5752s but the
5758s if if the incentive is too high and it
5762s makes it so that the people who are
5764s um playing solo and are are feeling left
5767s out or are not able to accomplish their
5769s goals
5770s um in the game that that's something
5771s that we'll definitely talk about and
5772s look at and it's it's not a matter of
5776s just
5778s too bad so sad it's it's a matter of I I
5782s don't think the problems is bad as you
5785s might think
5787s um
5790s and I can see why theoretically it looks
5793s like it might be that bad
5795s but I I think there might be some some
5799s some factors in in reality that are like
5801s in practice that are that are a little
5804s bit uh underrepresented in the
5807s assumption that it's four times
5818s pathetic
5822s I don't think maybe I'm wrong but I
5824s don't think we ever said that
5826s um
5827s we want to avoid rewards for playing
5828s multiplayer
5837s whether the heart wouldn't be or
5838s anything like that
5842s foreign
5867s I thought this was I thought you were
5870s the same person asking the same question
5871s from before because we had a very
5873s similar question asked I think the
5874s person had the same color
5876s name is you
5878s in the chat
5883s so I'm sorry if I sounded a little bit
5886s terse there
5888s I apologize
5896s I realize you just got here my bad
5903s all right synergize party will be best
5906s in single player and then on synergized
5908s party yeah and I think that's the way it
5910s is like I I I was playing
5914s um
5915s I just hope you're not watching this I
5917s was playing with my buddy a little while
5918s ago and
5920s um
5923s uh like it's going way slower playing
5926s with him uh and this this happens and
5928s also it's not specifically him but this
5930s happens in all sorts of different games
5932s um where like Okay sounds in um
5936s I'll give an example breakfast I love
5938s Diablo 2 it's possibly my favorite game
5940s of all time
5942s um I was playing with
5945s um playing in a party
5947s uh we'll net you more gear in be able to
5951s uh it's very similar way to does here
5954s because there's it's it's you just get
5956s more there's more it's share drops but
5957s there's more drops per
5959s um per person and
5963s um
5967s we like we did uh we did a reset
5970s recently that was like it was almost two
5972s years ago now but there was like a reset
5974s party where everyone's just like going
5975s like okay let's all go through together
5976s let's play and we got to the end of act
5978s one and I'm like I could be the end of
5979s act three by now
5980s easily but I'm playing in a party and
5984s you know you you wait you you hang out
5986s and your friends in front of your
5987s friends things like that so yes an
5988s unorganized party that's not going full
5990s optimization is not going to be as fast
5992s it's it's there's there's social things
5995s that take up time and slow down
5996s definitely like that happens
5998s um but it's not just with our game at
5999s all so yes an unorganized party is
6002s slower even though there's this um
6005s ability to share a loot and everything
6006s like that like there's there's things
6008s that take up time like oh uh like oh you
6010s want to go like BRB bio and okay we'll
6013s wait for you or okay we'll just do a
6015s quick one without you
6017s um
6017s like
6020s that right there alone is like there's
6022s not four times
6023s you know
6033s um or even just like okay I'm gonna
6035s check this gear to see if it's better
6036s like is it an upgrade is this an upgrade
6038s you know stuff like that
6046s and I think that's what's what we're
6047s looking at is that a very synergized
6050s well thought out well-oiled machine of a
6053s party is is going to have an advantage
6055s over
6056s um someone who's playing on their own
6059s but if if you're not like
6062s singular Focus to be optimal the party's
6066s gonna slow you down a fair bit
6069s um
6074s and yeah oh and someone else to be
6076s saying that the the question about of uh
6079s avoiding rewarding multiplayer possibly
6080s was a misconstrue of that we didn't want
6083s to require Group Play to do anything
6085s such as like big raids and things like
6087s that
6089s which is still the case
6090s to be clear
6096s and and someone else's all right thanks
6097s Aaron yes in chat as well exactly
6101s um yeah it's it's that we don't want to
6102s say have a boss that's like okay you
6104s need for for a party of four to go to
6107s this boss or
6108s um like there needs to be a a big rate
6111s of eight people to show up to do this
6112s one encounter
6114s we'd like people to be able to
6115s experience the content throughout the
6117s game
6118s um solo
6121s and having a boss that's specifically
6122s like that and I'm not saying that's a
6123s bad thing in general to happen in games
6125s like this but that's just that's that's
6127s something that we
6128s the way we've generally been planning
6130s things is
6131s you're able to complete the content solo
6133s if you want
6137s let's say bye to you
6143s my goodness oh we're chugging oh wow we
6146s haven't done that in a while
6153s this is exactly the sort of stuff my CPU
6155s is just dying right now
6157s oh
6161s one day we will do Hardware encoding and
6164s this will be less bad
6167s my CPU is struggling to encode this and
6169s upload it the frame I'm probably
6171s dropping friends left and right
6177s oh yeah
6180s my normally got interrupted no
6190s there we go let's take a breather
6193s and we're good okay let's go
6200s that was that was close it was scary
6204s hello
6207s hello Elvis elements
6214s uh leaning away from trade topic one
6217s thing I'm curious uh since the MTX plan
6219s is Cosmetics what's the limits of the
6222s Ridiculousness of the possible Cosmetics
6223s let me be on theme or is there a
6225s possibility of lightsabers robotic
6227s wolves Captain America Shields as well
6229s as something like flowery effects and
6231s rainbow colored warpaths
6233s um so okay I guess I'll say uh the the
6236s general goal is to have the items be
6240s things that can reasonably appear in the
6244s world so
6247s um things that that makes sense so
6250s having a
6252s um
6254s having a a cape that has the logo of uh
6259s some Esports team uh that sort of thing
6261s on it would probably not happen because
6264s that Esports team doesn't exist in the
6265s Game World you know
6267s um
6270s having something be it's it's less about
6274s um
6275s it's less about theme and more about
6280s um what exists in the world
6283s so I mean if there was uh if there was a
6287s rainbow unicorn that existed in the
6288s world there could be something that was
6289s themed around it
6291s we have no MCX currently planned around
6293s anything like that
6295s um but it's it's I just wanna I'm just
6296s using it as a point of like it's less
6297s about tone and theme and color and
6300s things like that and more about
6302s um what exists in the world and and like
6305s you can get a pretty good idea about
6307s theme and tone for the world based on
6309s what you see in the world right now so
6311s the things will generally make sense and
6313s fit and feel like they are like oh yeah
6316s okay I see why that cosmetic is there
6318s because that that makes sense
6321s um
6322s for the most part like it won't
6325s it's pretty pretty strongly pretty
6327s strictly
6328s um there might be some like minor
6330s deviations here and there but I would
6332s say
6332s it's it's
6335s solid
6336s in in the like in set in the world and
6340s we're not trying to
6342s like you won't you won't have um
6345s you wanna have a bow MTX that replaces
6348s your bow with a sniper rifle
6350s you know that's because the sniper
6351s rifles don't exist in the world even
6353s though on on tone and theme that would
6355s make sense if it was like you know like
6357s a a laser sniper rifle I'm sure we could
6360s find a lost skin that would fit
6361s perfectly
6362s um
6363s but you know it's it's still got to be a
6366s bow
6374s can a pink sheep reasonably appear we do
6377s have animals I mean there could be some
6378s mad scientists that makes a mistake when
6381s trying to make an invisible sheep that
6383s that turns it Pink by mistake huh that's
6386s uh there we go pink sheep incoming
6390s uh there's no plans for that
6396s I hate that I hate the chill
6398s chill socks I don't have consistent
6401s repeatable cleanse so chill sucks and
6404s and slow chill and slow are both painful
6406s to deal with
6411s uh rage sucks too
6417s that's for the Spotify
6419s what did you make as well
6421s can I tease any MTX I don't have any
6425s uh I don't have anything ready to go
6430s we have shown some MTX before though
6433s um if you go to the
6436s um
6437s the the we sprung a leak
6440s uh form thread there are some examples
6444s of ncx that are there
6446s if you'd like to see this the type of
6447s thing you
6448s lead the big thing that ntx brings is
6451s um like if we're talking about skills so
6452s we're still doing skill ntx
6454s um there might be a visual distinction
6456s that doesn't match a mechanical style
6460s that we've currently got planned but
6462s someone really wants it to visually look
6463s a certain way so like
6464s um I I don't know if we're actually
6466s doing this one or not but the example I
6467s like to do is pretty pretty
6468s straightforward in that like say for
6470s example you have Fireball and you want a
6472s blue Fireball and we don't have a blue
6475s Fireball in the game as far as
6477s mechanically is going because that's
6478s usually blue is usually reserved for
6480s like uh lightning or coal depending on
6483s the blue style and so um
6486s we do a plasma ball but it's still got
6488s the fire in there too so like if you
6489s want to like maybe just like this pure
6490s like Fireball but just straight up blue
6493s or purple
6495s like void void void Fireball type type
6497s color and and we would have that type of
6500s thing be an ntx it would be like a just
6502s like okay your firewalls now blue
6504s um
6508s uh and then and then as far as gear goes
6510s it's quite often things that are like we
6512s really want the gear to be like really
6516s cool looking
6518s um
6519s but we're saving some of the
6526s for uh MTX so something's a little more
6530s over the top maybe there's like VFX and
6531s included in the actual gear itself but
6534s like I I really don't I really want to
6536s stress that we're
6537s um striving to have the gear look cool
6540s on its own without MTX as as it is
6544s um
6545s and I I think I think I look pretty
6547s freaking sweet right now
6561s all right is this is this game playable
6564s with the beta at the moment or is this
6567s limited to developers
6569s um the the version that I'm playing
6570s right now is fully available to anyone
6573s who wants it it's on Steam
6575s that's exactly how I'm playing it on
6577s Steam
6578s um you can see the version that's up
6579s here beta 8.5 uh beta 0.85 f is the
6584s current version that's available
6585s um
6586s version 0.9 will become available to
6589s anyone who's purchased it on March 9th
6594s it's the right day right
6596s uh Astro station that's the right date
6599s appreciate it I'm pretty sure that's
6601s right
6602s um
6604s God
6606s someone's screaming me if that's the
6607s wrong date anyways
6609s um
6610s and we do also have a community tested
6612s program that is uh you need to request
6615s access to that gets that gets access to
6617s a different build which is
6620s 8 12 right now I think 2012 is the
6622s person that's on there
6624s um
6631s so yeah it's available
6633s you have to buy the game to get access
6634s to it
6635s good thing
6642s and that does continue forward through
6643s to launch there's no repurchasing once
6645s you bought it once you bought it that's
6646s it
6647s uh hello Mike I just saw your PC specs
6650s I'm running an RTX 2060 the ryzen 7
6653s first gen 32 gigs of RAM don't judge me
6655s please uh can I expect to run the game
6657s at 60 frames most of the time for 0.9
6659s right now I can get around 80 FPS but
6661s the frames drop a lot when fighting
6664s um yeah I think there's Okay Marshall
6666s that's great cool there's uh there are
6669s quite a few performance updates that are
6670s coming for
6672s um
6674s uh for for 4.9 there's a lot um in
6677s individual zones individual enemies
6679s individual abilities
6681s um every single one of these things got
6682s taken through with the fine-tooth comb
6684s and uh they've all been checked for ways
6688s to make small improvements and we've
6690s also on top of that done many systematic
6692s changes uh to several systems that uh
6695s get triggered a lot especially in high
6696s combat situations that will all uh work
6699s to the two increased frame rates
6704s frame rates and and the biggest effect
6706s that they have for me personally is the
6708s consistency of the frame rates is the
6709s the lack of dips and drops in plummets
6711s and things like that that happen
6712s so earlier when I was fighting all those
6714s uh all those enemies and my favorite
6716s just started chugging along like crazy
6717s but but part of that was like I blamed
6720s it on the on the um encoding which does
6723s have a big effect on that because it is
6724s CPU Limited
6726s which is the problem it's having there
6728s um but part of it is just this is that's
6730s a tougher thing for the game to do
6735s and that's where a lot of the
6736s uh
6738s a lot of stuff came in
6740s a lot of the changes
6742s but yeah if anyone's wondering I'm uh
6744s this is this is um i7 7700k that's uh
6749s not overclocked right now
6751s um
6753s and a you know I know it's going to
6755s unlock multiplier because okay uh
6757s anyways and uh 32 gigs of RAM and a 1080
6760s TI
6762s it's TI
6764s for sure
6765s so yeah I don't have a I'm not I'm not
6768s not running some amazing system here but
6770s it's I do run consistently 60. if you
6771s are looking to get a little bit better
6772s performance
6774s um and I saw that you said that you said
6776s there 80 frames sometimes
6777s um streamer mode will help you
6781s um the settings depending was wondering
6784s uh streamer mode
6786s it will lock your frame rate
6789s um
6790s but it will improve your dips
6794s you'll get fewer dips
6798s uh how much health scaling is it per
6801s person like 100 per person 200 no it's
6804s not quite that much
6805s um
6806s and this is what I was talking about
6807s having a dial we can change pretty
6809s easily uh and it's something that we
6810s have changed a fair bit
6812s um
6814s I don't know what it is I don't know the
6816s exact numbers
6817s uh it does tell you
6819s uh as soon as like as soon as someone
6821s joins the party it says
6823s um the the party size has increased from
6826s uh one to two enemies now have 140
6830s health I don't know what the number is
6831s but you know like it's it says what it
6833s is
6834s um
6835s and it's pretty specific and it's it's
6838s um
6838s yeah it's good
6842s we recently bumped it up a little bit on
6844s the the amount of Health gain per person
6850s the Enemies game this is the healthy
6851s Enemies game
6853s that's actually a nice helmet
6859s hey had a question for temple sanctum if
6861s two people go in the first puts an item
6863s in this in the sanction between legit
6865s can the other player take it out or take
6867s the finished product
6869s um so uh uh think of it more like it's
6873s your own personal crafting bench
6875s um and so you put your items into your
6878s temporal sanctum and they put their
6879s items into their Temple sanctum and you
6881s pull your items out of your triple
6882s sanctum and they pulled their items out
6883s of their Temple sanctum so they are
6885s separate
6886s um however if the unique that is being
6889s used dropped while you're in a party
6891s together that item can then be gifted
6893s after it has been used in the temple
6895s sector
6897s this is and this is as it stands in 0.9
6900s right now subject to change it is uh
6903s this is our plan for 0.9 uh the point
6905s nine plan is
6907s very solid there would have to be a very
6909s major problem for us to change something
6911s at this point for point nine
6913s um
6914s and and this is likely what we'll have
6916s at point nine
6933s oh hey a question
6937s any specific players you're hopeful will
6939s make uh Canadian World Junior Team and
6941s expectations this year I don't follow
6943s the like prospects uh well enough
6946s leading up to it there's usually like a
6948s week before the tournament then I'll
6949s just like go like read and watch
6951s everything and all the guys that are
6952s playing
6953s um and I haven't I haven't hit that yet
6954s so
6956s um
6957s uh I'll I'll get back to you on that but
6960s I am pumped for the tournament
6963s yeah it's I I don't I you you probably
6966s know this but as I've said before if
6968s everyone else world junior hockey
6969s championship is my favorite sports
6972s tournament every year it's so great I'm
6975s very pumped for it
6977s um
6981s you can sit down and watch with my son
6982s this year
6985s he only watches small chocolate though
6987s because he's still quite young but
6989s he does say that he likes hockey it's a
6992s big win there
6997s all right something that would be cool
6999s is MTX set a themed after saigons yes
7005s I don't know what the
7008s um legal implications of something like
7010s that are
7012s um I'm right there with you and very on
7014s board myself uh
7017s uh one of my favorite things to do was
7019s to show up as uh like a spider
7023s uh within full saigons and like be like
7026s you know I'll I'll solo hell mail
7028s whatever
7030s um I just feel make fun of you for
7032s wearing this terrible gear and you're
7033s like it doesn't matter
7053s or at least wearing an outfit so it
7054s looks like you're in full
7058s I do love this uh this one it's a good
7060s one
7068s boom
7082s lizard have people been nice to Mike oh
7085s people have been very nice to Mike I I
7089s I know I kind of stumbled over a few
7090s questions at the start here and I'm
7091s sorry about that
7093s um
7095s it's tough to talk about sometimes but
7097s no I think I think we did well today
7099s uh rough estimate to how many uniques
7102s going into 0.90 there's still
7105s um
7108s there's still a few there's still some
7111s to be made for it so like I don't have a
7114s number it won't be a huge number I think
7116s 30 would be an over estimate uh I think
7119s 30 would be uh I'd like
7123s yeah 30 would be an overestimate
7127s you want at least 23 to celebrate the
7129s new year
7130s I would take that
7134s uh is there an is there an entity uh
7137s limit for summons that would be possible
7140s to reach with multiplayer group devoted
7142s to maximizing the amount of summons
7144s um there's we don't have one right now
7147s um
7148s it can it can get pretty high right now
7151s you can get a lot you can get a lot
7158s uh you a hockey hair fan you all hockey
7161s hair fan
7166s what's your team uh I I don't follow the
7170s NHL that much
7172s um but uh the Canucks if I'm gonna pick
7174s a team will be the Canucks
7179s Andrew I'm sorry I was I was raised
7183s uh I was raised that
7186s uh the Maple Leafs were the the devil
7191s um I I can be tolerant but you know just
7193s it's it's in my blood I can't I can't
7196s help that one
7199s Aaron I'm sorry I'm not gonna give you
7200s the exact number
7202s I can't even estimate it because there's
7203s there's
7204s like I might say a number and we might
7206s get in there and start making more and
7208s like between now and then that that
7209s throws off what I say very hard so I'm
7212s sorry
7214s uh so I've just asked before but will
7218s there be an option to optimize Graphics
7221s in Lassie Park
7223s yes
7226s like these ones
7229s yeah I think that's what the question's
7232s about I don't know
7233s uh We've hit our Mark there
7236s we are at three hours two hours
