22s	ran up like 10 miles yeah that's it
30s	oh it's been a busy morning we had uh
36s	a little bit of
38s	a little bit of realization this morning
39s	when I was
41s	putting the teasers for today's stream
43s	together I'm like
44s	I have a fresh load of Windows I'm like
46s	oh my God I have to redo everything to
48s	set up the stream again don't I
50s	oh no
55s	but it looks like we hammered it out at
57s	least I hope so let me know if it's
58s	working and if things are horribly
59s	terrible please tell me if this is your
61s	first time here oh look how fancy stuff
63s	happened already
66s	thanks to the four months in a row
68s	that's fantastic very cool glad to have
71s	you with us
72s	um if this is someone else's first time
74s	here though
75s	um
76s	we uh I I sit and I play I Stand and I

91s	we do that because it's awesome
96s	and I'm just gonna be uh playing my
97s	casual we already got an upgrade oh my
100s	key bindings are all lost too
103s	oh no
105s	oh no
107s	uh
109s	the only one that really matters
113s	Escape doesn't close that window
116s	uh Mike that's your fault Mike
131s	okay I think we're getting we're getting
132s	they'll do a few times right to change
133s	some settings but I think we're doing
134s	pretty good
137s	um
138s	yeah hopefully things look better too we
140s	should see better frame rates and less
141s	tearing and uh things to just be nicer
145s	in general now
146s	is great
150s	hello total annihilation
159s	I feel like it's
161s	uh reasonable to assume a lot of people
164s	who are here today will have or will
167s	eventually watch the uh D4 Fireside
170s	chat that just happened this morning
173s	it's pretty cool
177s	they said they're doing another one next
178s	Friday I'm like well it's gonna be just
179s	like an arpg Dev Dev Friday
184s	tradition or something
187s	convince Peewee to do it too
189s	have just like a a rotating announcement
192s	day every Friday
195s	be funny
199s	oh yeah I was gonna go ahead and try to
201s	see what I got
202s	or ants love it love it
219s	we've been we've been testing some new
221s	uh
222s	uh networking libraries on a new
224s	networking library that one of one of
226s	their team members has been developing
227s	from scratch actually for Epoch
229s	um
232s	and and like I don't know if I can
234s	actually tell the difference but I feel
236s	like I can
238s	you shouldn't be able to see much
239s	difference in in actual live performance
241s	the game
245s	um
247s	other than like reduction in when things
249s	are going well it shouldn't appear that
251s	anything's different is what I'm trying
252s	to say but there should be more times
254s	that things go well
260s	a lot of necrotic resistance it's
262s	actually a sweet ring
271s	shattering's going
274s	I was working on a few uh like nicety
277s	touch-ups for the for this panel here
279s	it's gonna be sweet I'm actually pumped
280s	for it
297s	if you're wondering what I'm dancing to
298s	It's the Music That's constantly playing
299s	in my head
301s	also I just realized that there's an at
303s	last you [ __ ] tag here that I'm not
306s	seeing
307s	am I somehow not signed into that
312s	uh
322s	do I need to
325s	like
326s	do something to highlight that
334s	oof
337s	who do i chat as yeah okay yes I got the
340s	chat rules hi
343s	join twitch today okay I'm just not
345s	logged into twitch somehow on here
348s	great
352s	no idea what my sign-in info is
358s	how do we do this
371s	please stand by your call is important
372s	to us it will be answered in the order
373s	it was received
380s	like eight-factor Authentication
387s	hey I can see the tags now wonderful
392s	let me catch up on some questions you
394s	asked previously on
395s	uh when will the game be promoted on
399s	Steam I'm waiting for a promotion to buy
401s	like a sale I'm from Brazil and I'm
403s	waiting for a translation into
404s	Portuguese too yeah
407s	um
408s	one of those things you won't have to
409s	wait too long before I think
413s	I get asked this question like every
414s	stream and I really should know what's
415s	up my head
417s	um
419s	so if you go back to any of the last
420s	like eight streams I'll tell you exactly
421s	Which languages are coming I'm pretty
423s	sure Portuguese is one of them
425s	um
426s	and we have a surprisingly High audience
429s	in Brazil
431s	um which is great and a lot of a lot of
433s	team members from Brazil too which is
434s	awesome
436s	um
437s	what am I getting that yeah how long you
438s	have to wait for Stuff whoa that was a
440s	close one
450s	calculated
452s	uh
453s	as far as as far as the sale We're not
455s	gonna do any sales until 1.0 at the
457s	earliest
458s	like I don't know when the next sale is
460s	going to be but I know it won't happen
461s	before 1.0 launches
465s	um
466s	yeah
468s	uh so there won't be any sales before
469s	0.92 happen let me tell you that for
471s	sure
472s	um
474s	and as far as translation goes we are
476s	actively translating the game called
478s	localization uh
480s	to several different languages many
482s	different languages
484s	um there's a whole team doing that right
485s	now it's coming along very well I know
487s	early early versions of that are in
490s	testing right now like like checking to
492s	see how good those are sending them off
494s	to native speakers uh things like that
496s	so we can um get feedback from
499s	uh
501s	uh from community members we are lucky
503s	to have such an international team for
504s	that as well that we have like most of
506s	the languages We're translating into
508s	someone on the team is a native speaker
510s	it's great
511s	most
515s	oh yeah that hurts
519s	this is something interesting as well
520s	the death screen like it just pops up
521s	instantly I bet you've never seen the
525s	deaf animations for any of the
527s	characters in the game
528s	foreign
529s	I realized this recently
532s	um
534s	one of them has a horrible bug in their
536s	death animation
538s	but you never see it
541s	tahariel reset for 27 months way to go
545s	Bud thank you very much glad to have you
548s	with us that's awesome
550s	that's a long 27.
553s	big numbers
555s	those are not rookie numbers
560s	all right all right all right hey I
563s	bought your game thanks I sank already
565s	100 hours straight cool game yeah
568s	that's awesome
570s	wow
574s	I'm glad you're enjoying it I'm glad
575s	you're having fun looking forward to
577s	trade system me too
585s	all right
587s	that's all the questions are caught up
588s	easy
594s	I am I'm realizing that my character's a
596s	little on the squishy side
598s	and also doesn't do enough damage so you
601s	know it's just bad
604s	but it's fun so it's good
609s	I thought that would be a
610s	thought would be a hallway
628s	I love meteor I love I love it so much
635s	any time frame for 0.92 um yeah it's I
638s	can't give you an exact like oh it's
640s	it's roughly this many to this many days
642s	away or anything like that
644s	um but it is like I I could give you
647s	some some hints and some tips on how to
649s	figure out getting closest on your own
652s	here
654s	um so we do we generally do patches
656s	roughly in the three to four month range
660s	um which I usually don't say but uh
663s	there was a public post that went out
665s	this morning that did say it from game
666s	richer so I'm gonna say it now and
670s	um
672s	yeah so usually do every roughly about
675s	every three to four months-ish depending
677s	on other things that are happening in
678s	the in the genre in our studio you know
680s	all the sorts of things can affect it
683s	um
684s	and yeah so I would
686s	I guess that that's a pretty good
687s	indicator right there there's also
690s	um
691s	like maybe a large event coming up soon
695s	that uh we might want to use as a
698s	platform to hide something like that up
700s	uh possibly I don't know might might be
703s	might be a good thing
706s	just in general I think a lot of game
707s	studios do something like that
709s	you know
710s	Maybe
719s	my I looked at my play time actually on
721s	the on the actual game app on Steam and
724s	I'm like oh it looks like I never play
725s	it then I realized that the time that it
728s	shows on there is like
730s	95 of this is the time I spent streaming
732s	and then I'm like oh my God it's
734s	actually a fair bit
746s	just gotta leave it open some to
748s	let's get that up
758s	the weight is killing you eh well you
761s	know I think uh
764s	it's it'll be worth the payoff I'm very
766s	excited for what this next patch has to
767s	offer I think there's there's gonna be
770s	some things that are uh that we haven't
772s	even teased
774s	I mean technically there was one little
775s	teaser but you couldn't tell what it was
777s	and um
780s	that'll be surprising to people I think
782s	they'll be sweet
793s	I go Concords do you want this though
797s	yes please
800s	this
801s	I mean
804s	I used it
814s	give him some hype I I've got it I can't
817s	be there yeah it's It's Tricky we've
819s	never done a convention in Europe before
822s	um
823s	we've done packs a few times uh we did
826s	LTX we did quakecon uh we did a few
829s	other things too in the states
831s	um but yeah it's I I'm so pumped I I am
834s	so happy I get to go as well
837s	um I got asked to go and I'm like
839s	let's go
843s	a little nervous but I think it should
844s	be fun
849s	well I think it will be a really big
851s	difference it's like a bullet hell game
853s	here
856s	um
857s	it's it's most of the conventions I've
859s	been to before presenting uh and
861s	attending they they close at like five
863s	or six o'clock
865s	um and then like people Everyone goes
866s	out for dinner afterwards
869s	um
870s	but like
872s	this one I think it's nine is on the
874s	floor closes every night so I'm like I'm
876s	gonna be so wiped I'm just gonna like oh
879s	it shows over all right I'll just fall
881s	asleep on this bench right here thanks
887s	but you know taking shifts and relaxing
890s	and down times and things like that to
892s	make sure we're
893s	staying healthy Etc
902s	we're gonna be in Gamescom it's uh it's
906s	the the booth the number is listed on
908s	you know I suppose it went out recently
910s	um it looks like the word boob it's like
913s	B zero BB
916s	uh
918s	so so yeah
920s	it's uh it's our boobs
927s	or Bob
931s	yes I'm 10 years old deal with it
939s	all right get that cash money
944s	Dodge raiding oh
947s	tripped at the finish line
950s	too bad
955s	we also have we also have a business
956s	Booth the Gamescom too that's like I
958s	don't know the booth I know the number
959s	for that one but it's like more of a
961s	normal booth
965s	ever on anyone thank you very much
968s	very generous of you
972s	just to use the emotes
975s	nice
978s	e-088 I was close there we go August
981s	23rd to 27th
983s	next game
993s	one of my friends who's uh
996s	um he's he's he's like done this sort of
999s	thing as well at booths
1001s	um at like conventions and stuff and I
1002s	told him I'm going to Journey for
1003s	Gamescom uh to run our booth he's like
1005s	oh you're gonna be a booth babe like yep
1009s	not as well dresses them normally but
1011s	you know be fun
1017s	and the it just went out
1019s	we need we need a way that like shows in
1023s	the tools of what just happened to it
1024s	but like I have no idea how that's
1026s	possible
1031s	so I don't think the notification can
1033s	tell you
1034s	might be able to
1040s	oh here's a big one all right first time
1041s	here welcome
1043s	uh Moto's BR asks the game looks great
1046s	thanks I see people saying Le
1047s	complexities between Poe and Diablo 3 I
1050s	love Grim Dom Diablo 2 where I'm a 40K
1051s	Inquisitor but I had a hard time
1053s	enjoying Poe due to its complexity and
1055s	the fact need to play with with at least
1057s	four tabs checking what I'm supposed to
1058s	do next
1060s	um do you have any plans to avoid this
1061s	issue in the future meaning allowing new
1063s	players to have a good time even with
1065s	the game getting complex over time yeah
1067s	I think so we've
1070s	um
1070s	we sort of have this philosophy around
1072s	most things in game we say we don't want
1075s	people to have to go to another website
1077s	to like have to go to another website to
1080s	um just enjoy the game I don't use it
1082s	from casual just like uh less hardcore
1085s	experience of it so you're not trying to
1087s	min max absolutely everything but you
1089s	still want to have that information to
1091s	get a good understanding of what's
1092s	available
1094s	um you you you don't necessarily need to
1096s	get like the absolute perfect sequencing
1098s	for everything but you want to be able
1101s	to be relatively efficient you don't
1102s	want to
1103s	um watch some YouTube video and be like
1104s	oh my God I wasted eight hours on that
1106s	what was I do you don't want that
1108s	situation to happen so we we do try
1111s	um this this sort of started
1113s	um this game guide
1115s	and so if you press G in game it
1117s	mentions it here as well game guides
1119s	also a little um loading screen tip that
1122s	says but it needs to be more in people's
1125s	face I think and this
1127s	um this this has a lot of really good
1129s	information about uh like specific
1132s	details on how things Works how things
1134s	work like specific formulas this weirdly
1137s	enough I click to block I think this
1138s	block formula might be off it might be
1140s	0.8 instead of 0.6 I can't remember
1141s	though
1143s	um
1143s	you know there's lots of info you can
1145s	search for these so I can be like unique
1147s	and like we'll filter to all the things
1149s	that uniques have mentions in
1151s	specifically
1153s	and this layout's a little janky I gotta
1155s	fix that anyways there's points so we do
1157s	this to try and have that information
1158s	available in game where with that you
1161s	should be able to get by and not need to
1164s	like
1165s	watch an hour-long tutorial video to
1167s	like get into the game so to speak
1170s	hot in here already I have like a big
1173s	box fan that I usually uh have running
1176s	and it died last week I'm just hurting
1179s	um
1181s	also saying yeah we like we try really
1183s	hard to make our tool tips have really
1184s	clear and complete information
1187s	um you know things like that we also do
1189s	uh it was a good example loot filters
1192s	um
1195s	so like
1197s	ideally this is what the problem is this
1199s	is why I'm not
1201s	oh where's my
1202s	Mage leveling
1204s	better than nothing
1207s	yeah I'll roll with it
1209s	um
1210s	I'd really like to in the future this is
1212s	something sort of like one day we'll
1214s	make this happen it'll be cool if we do
1215s	it
1216s	um I'd really like to have a way to like
1218s	share loot filters and possibly like
1222s	upvote other people's loot filters in
1224s	game in so you don't have to leave here
1226s	used to be like like open loot filter
1229s	browser and it like lets you like pick
1231s	out a loot filter that someone else has
1232s	made and just slap it in you know to
1234s	another website to get it that sort of
1235s	stuff
1236s	um the trading system when it does
1239s	arrive the bazaar you won't be able to
1241s	access it from another website by
1243s	interacting with it at least uh there's
1245s	a possibility we may have some uh like
1249s	viewing stuff maybe in the future but at
1252s	least the initial version it'll just
1253s	only be available in game anyways
1256s	um so so you won't be able to you won't
1259s	need to go to the uh to another tattoo
1260s	to work on that sort of thing
1264s	um
1266s	yeah it's like we we try to
1269s	we we really tried to make it so you
1271s	don't feel that you're forced to go look
1273s	at other stuff
1275s	um but still have the availability for
1277s	other resources to be helpful if you
1280s	really want to take take things to like
1281s	the next level
1283s	um and we see some really good uh
1285s	examples of that already in websites
1287s	that are that have been around for quite
1289s	a few years now
1290s	um do some really cool stuff
1293s	for people who want to like
1295s	um do like Advanced DPS calculations or
1298s	Advanced defense calculations
1300s	um or just just have like a database to
1302s	be able to search quickly like oh I want
1304s	to find all the skills interact with
1305s	poison or you know like like like really
1307s	dive into like item possible databases
1309s	and things like that like like so
1311s	getting into those like really
1312s	nitty-gritty details if you want to
1313s	research the the specifics it's possible
1316s	um on those ones we try and support them
1318s	when we can
1319s	um
1320s	which we probably could do a better
1322s	better job of I think
1327s	it was pretty rambly answer but I hope
1329s	it answers your question if not please
1331s	feel free to expand it and I'll do my
1332s	best
1337s	[Music]
1341s	here we go
1354s	all right
1358s	oh the main part of this question
1360s	actually was was about
1361s	um as complexity evolves over time and
1364s	uh so I don't I don't have uh like
1367s	specific answer for as the game's
1368s	complexity evolves over time
1370s	um
1371s	but I do think that sort of following
1374s	these same principles were already
1376s	um
1377s	paying attention to I think we can keep
1379s	things in a really good state
1382s	with regards to the complexity and the
1385s	approachability and accessibility
1389s	oh what am I doing
1392s	what am I doing
1395s	I mean that's just a sweet
1399s	and start taking stuff out of you I do
1400s	not have room to take stuff out of there
1405s	all right
1407s	I think this will take us over the
1409s	over the line possibly into
1412s	boss territory
1413s	getting close to the powers
1416s	is there a plan to reveal the three new
1419s	Specialties I know they dropped with 1.0
1421s	but I'm excited to see the skills
1423s	um I can't talk about anything that will
1425s	be happening I assume this is about
1426s	Gamescom and I I can't I can't uh tell
1430s	you what's gonna be happening at
1431s	Gamescom I'm very excited for it all
1434s	um
1438s	even if you're even if you're not going
1439s	there's gonna be sweet stuff
1441s	um that you'll be hearing from the
1443s	convention at that time
1466s	uh meteor
1468s	never gets old
1473s	I was considering switching this to a
1475s	static orb build
1476s	which I think might be fun still and I
1478s	might do that just until I find the
1480s	staff because I want to be lightning I
1481s	don't want to be fire build which I'm
1483s	very fire oriented right now still
1484s	because of uh meteor
1489s	and I'm kind of considering switching to
1490s	static orb until then
1494s	it's also a very fun build
1514s	I haven't seen any reports of like oh my
1516s	God everything's on fire so that's great
1518s	um since the stream's going well
1520s	I turned up the settings a little bit
1521s	from where it was for where I was
1523s	streaming before as well
1525s	it should look a little crisper
1537s	I am the one who calls down elements
1539s	from the sky not you
1557s	do we make it four short I should have
1559s	killed more stuff
1560s	hahaha
1564s	uh yeah I mean let's just roll through a
1567s	couple of these
1584s	watched sing
1586s	yesterday so I've got like a whole bunch
1588s	of
1589s	like poppy bouncy songs in my head right
1592s	now
1616s	all right are you all still working on
1619s	surprise mechanic like Luke goblins yeah
1621s	surprise mechanic yeah um yes
1626s	um
1627s	yeah I actually uh
1632s	saw a mock-up of one recently that I
1635s	thought looked really cool
1636s	there could be tons of fun to play with
1646s	I'm still so tempted to just like slip a
1648s	Luke Goblin because I'm sure I can just
1649s	make it
1650s	so easily
1655s	not not gonna do that we don't we don't
1658s	do that anymore
1659s	four or five years ago totally would
1662s	have just done it
1668s	responsible development processes now ah
1673s	just just kidding for the record I think
1675s	it's a very positive thing
1682s	uh hi are there any plans to let us
1685s	reroll uniques like Poes three for one
1687s	vendor recipe with everything specific
1689s	right now I do think that there's kind
1691s	of a gap in the usefulness of
1694s	um either like upgraded from unique so
1698s	like you you you're rocking something
1700s	and then you find an upgrade now like
1701s	the old ones just kind of I just Chuck
1703s	it in the trash unceremoniously discard
1706s	this item that's helped you achieve
1708s	great things up to this point or you
1710s	like and find some way to incorporate it
1713s	into your legacy yeah you know
1716s	um
1717s	I I there's there's definitely room for
1719s	some sort of mechanic that
1721s	um
1723s	that that lets you
1726s	take
1727s	uh poorly rolled or just outclassed
1732s	um and has been upgraded unique items
1734s	things like that to do something from
1736s	them It's Tricky
1738s	um because if you say you had saved a
1742s	system whereby and and this and we
1744s	really contrived here
1745s	um you've got you've got a unique sword
1747s	that does
1749s	um and this is intentionally causing a
1751s	problem to illustrate the illustrate
1752s	this sort of overarching problem
1754s	um so you've got a unique sword that
1756s	does uh one to ten
1758s	damage one to ten melee physical damage
1760s	that's all unique does
1762s	um and you have some sort of system in
1765s	the game where if you take three of them
1767s	and you uh sell them to store all
1771s	together and then you get
1773s	um you get one out that pops out it's
1775s	it's the combination
1777s	of all the roles it just adds the roles
1780s	together so you have like uh you have
1782s	one that's one damage one that's three
1783s	damage one that's four damage and and
1785s	something you you get one out that's
1787s	eight damage just all of them put
1788s	together
1790s	obviously that's a problem it's just
1792s	like that it's tons of problems all over
1794s	the place but it does give the
1796s	opportunity for uh D darks has receptive
1800s	two months in row thank you very much
1802s	can you guys Nerf sword just for the
1804s	meme
1806s	no
1809s	um
1810s	if anything starts it starts to get a
1812s	tunnel up
1814s	um
1816s	what was I saying oh yeah yeah and and
1818s	so you you get the situation where
1820s	someone can
1821s	um
1823s	where the best possible way to okay so
1826s	let me add something else to the
1828s	scenario that we're talking about
1829s	um the eight to ten range unique swords
1832s	810 damage range unique swords only drop
1834s	from super high end areas but oh the one
1837s	to three range unique swords can drop
1840s	from really low level area
1842s	um and so if you have this this system
1844s	whereby you can take
1846s	um
1847s	uh the lower versions and combine them
1849s	together to get the bigger versions
1851s	in some cases the most efficient way you
1854s	can Farm is by farming in an area that's
1857s	way below your character's level
1861s	um
1862s	and and there's there's a lot of ways
1865s	that something like this can happen
1868s	um and then this is sort of just trying
1869s	to make a really obvious simple example
1871s	and it's bullying way out of control so
1872s	sorry about that
1873s	um but there's there's this problem of
1876s	is the thing you can do with the low or
1881s	the bad versions of these items
1884s	um something that's good enough to uh
1888s	like offset the need to find the
1890s	high-end items I'm gonna be a good way
1892s	to put it uh and what one of the most
1896s	commonly requested things in
1899s	um
1900s	in a unique combining type
1903s	uh or like like something to use a
1905s	unique item for a system uh generally
1908s	comes in the form of hey I want to
1910s	combine like five zero LP items into a
1912s	one LP item you know
1916s	um and
1918s	the the ratio on how rare some of those
1920s	jumps are
1922s	uh might seem a little
1926s	absurd on uh how many you have to be
1929s	like all right well you can find 4 000
1932s	ravenous voids and you can have a 1lp
1934s	ravenous way it's not that bad but uh it
1937s	suddenly becomes a non
1940s	uh a non a non-consistent ratio
1945s	because you're you're finding it's so
1947s	much easier to find a 4lp version of
1950s	Alchemist Ladle you're probably finding
1953s	like you're probably finding a 4lp
1956s	version of a super low tier unique
1957s	before you're finding even a regular
1959s	ravenous void
1961s	maybe not but in and around there
1963s	probably
1966s	and
1969s	so so part that's that's where some of
1972s	the trickiness comes from
1973s	um I know this original question that
1975s	I'm veered way off course from is
1979s	um the the suggestion here which is a
1982s	much safer suggestion
1984s	um is just letting you take three of
1986s	them and re-roll them and so it
1988s	re-randomizes them and I'd say it's
1990s	another crack at the item dropping
1994s	and and that might be possible too
1995s	there's
1997s	there's just there's some there I I
1999s	believe that there is some system uh
2003s	that we could Implement which would let
2005s	players utilize undesired uniques in a
2008s	way for a small incremental bonus to
2011s	work towards some sort of larger goal uh
2014s	that wouldn't that would result in more
2015s	consistent gear upgrade curves
2019s	do I have any idea what the specifics of
2021s	that look like
2025s	do I hope we can figure it out
2027s	eventually oh yeah
2034s	it's not something we're actively
2036s	working on right now so it's it's not
2038s	like uh it's not something that people
2040s	have in the works or I haven't even
2042s	heard an internal picture a system like
2044s	this recently
2057s	let's just gotta drop the meteor hammer
2061s	uh merge director
2064s	uh we actually like literally can't
2068s	right now
2069s	um
2071s	not not because of a problem but because
2072s	we set up systems so you can't just
2075s	um push straight to main you have to uh
2078s	you have to get a pull request approved
2080s	by at least one other person
2083s	there's no there's no push straight to
2085s	Main
2090s	which was
2093s	gods
2098s	oh my God run a Escape it's gonna get me
2102s	nope just just all right cool let's just
2106s	chill right
2126s	boom
2129s	boom boom yeah Bill Boom Boom
2137s	all right a little bit of XP
2146s	do we have captured avoidance I don't
2149s	think so
2158s	where's Critter points
2160s	94.
2163s	I mean that's pretty high
2167s	there's our final version of these boots
2169s	they're okay
2172s	we got a little unlucky on that Dodge
2175s	raiding role
2184s	no I can't do it
2209s	so much shred here
2210s	the 20 increase damage might just be the
2212s	way to do it
2217s	turns isn't terrible
2219s	do we have calling I don't think we do
2225s	let's go for a damage though
2231s	oh Mike in chats how long until full
2234s	release approximately
2237s	um we don't have uh a set release date
2241s	that we are prepared to
2243s	give an approximate timeline for
2247s	um
2248s	it has been said by other people in
2252s	public forums in in the company that uh
2256s	our internal goal is this year
2265s	and and nothing has changed since then
2273s	but you didn't hear from me
2280s	no things things are going really well
2288s	so frequently that I'll like look at our
2290s	like internal patch notes Channel and
2292s	I'm like how did we not have that in the
2294s	game yet like what were we thinking
2297s	you're like well because it wasn't easy
2299s	to do and we just developed the tech
2300s	part last week so okay fine
2317s	I watched the Diablo 4 campfire stream
2319s	Mike speaks far more better than dudes
2321s	in jail before jobstream I think that
2324s	they were under a lot of pressure and
2325s	and a really difficult spot I think it's
2328s	really hard to to go into a stream like
2330s	that
2331s	knowing that the sentiment is so so
2335s	negative
2337s	I think they handled themselves really
2338s	well
2340s	and you could tell they care a ton about
2342s	the game
2343s	and really wanted to do well and be fun
2347s	that's what I heard from them
2365s	a little careful Mike
2367s	here we go
2375s	Sean because I said so
2383s	carry the shrine over
2387s	did you guys ever do this like you you'd
2389s	find a in like detail you'd find a
2391s	shrine and like
2395s	um like prepare prepare find the shrine
2397s	leave it uh dude the whole like Bell run
2401s	uh like get get to the throne and then
2403s	you like Port back to the shrine really
2406s	quickly to like grab your XP boost and
2410s	some would have been watching the party
2412s	screen and they they knew you'd done
2414s	that and they grabbed it right before
2415s	you and you get nothing and you missed
2417s	the first wave and it's terrible
2424s	that was one change in a um
2428s	one of the D2 mods I used to play a
2429s	bunch was that curses and shrines could
2432s	co-exist
2434s	um so like getting cursed in Nuka Shrine
2436s	off you which is so nice
2445s	this has been trying so useless in chaos
2447s	sanctuary
2462s	all right next question
2465s	remember to tag me yeah all right let's
2468s	look back you know the answer as well do
2469s	you guys plan to buff vulcanus elubion
2472s	and battle mage make hybrid spell melee
2475s	builds more viable
2477s	um well one one thing in general that
2479s	will help spellblade
2481s	um when Rune Master does come out it
2483s	will have
2485s	um
2486s	like like we're we're effectively giving
2488s	it another what is it 20 or so nodes
2491s	um
2492s	that'll that'll be available to it so
2494s	it's it's gonna get more options
2496s	um then as well it's going to get
2498s	another two skills that'll have access
2500s	to so like more options again and and I
2502s	know more options doesn't always
2503s	directly translate into like more damage
2505s	but just having those those more options
2507s	will in general help I think
2510s	um
2511s	to just sort of round out the op the
2513s	round of the class or other things it
2514s	can do we're also taking a little bit of
2516s	a look at it working through the passive
2518s	Tree in Rune Master we we took a couple
2521s	nodes from sorcerer
2523s	um I think we tweaked a couple nodes on
2525s	both Sorcerer And Rune master or um
2527s	spellblade at the same time as well so
2529s	there's there's things that are um that
2532s	when that eventually does come out will
2534s	will help spellblade in general I don't
2535s	there's I don't have any information on
2537s	specific plans for buffing specific
2539s	items
2541s	um
2542s	it's it's possible if you think this is
2545s	a good uh reason to do that I'm not
2547s	saying there is or isn't but
2549s	um and you want to get a conversation
2551s	started that we might see it and
2552s	consider it as an option uh best place
2554s	to do that is on our forums
2557s	um
2559s	next section feedback in suggestion
2561s	section
2562s	um
2564s	I love I love reading the the things I
2567s	don't reply very often but I do read
2568s	them all
2569s	because I love seeing those things
2571s	people come up with as like cool ideas
2573s	and it's it's really fun to see because
2576s	um there's certain things that just like
2577s	don't get even suggested internally
2579s	because people like well I know we can't
2580s	do that
2582s	um but just seeing those suggestions pop
2583s	up are are always really cool even if we
2586s	can't even sometimes which which is
2587s	frustrating
2590s	but I do like to see those like what if
2592s	suggestions that are like this would be
2594s	cool wouldn't that be neat
2598s	I just find those fun
2610s	my goodness me
2616s	I was gonna invite you to my birthday
2618s	party but not anymore
2624s	we're having barbecue
2635s	I do think that the in general like the
2637s	spell melee hybrid build uh style
2641s	um
2644s	is something that will
2646s	I'll probably find more purchase in the
2649s	like
2650s	uh
2656s	what I'm trying to say hybrid spell good
2663s	uh in in spellblade in general but also
2666s	oh yeah focusing on Elemental damage
2668s	itself
2669s	um
2673s	because it's a it's a like a more
2674s	specific but not super specific so you
2677s	you don't have to uh
2685s	you don't you don't have to like
2687s	um stack just melee or like one specific
2690s	element
2694s	try not to die here
2697s	that way better than I thought
2701s	yeah
2703s	yeah
2710s	the Frailty is really nice just have to
2712s	shatter
2712s	it's a shatter Target for sure
2718s	we're just gonna do that
2725s	two better than none
2732s	all right 670.
2736s	time to suggest a rock and or roll
2764s	thank you
2775s	all right theoretically if I just want
2778s	to focus on one specialized skill what
2780s	is the max plus level skill an item uh
2783s	honor item and the character I think
2784s	right now it's 29.
2787s	uh just based on like like what's just
2790s	possible of combinations there's no hard
2793s	coded Max
2795s	um so you're just looking at like what
2797s	combination can I do to get this as high
2799s	as possible
2801s	um
2804s	oh I can see you typing
2807s	just realized that my slack
2809s	notifications came through don't I
2810s	[Music]
2814s	oh
2819s	no
2822s	llama that was you
2825s	um
2829s	yeah okay
2831s	uh
2833s	plus skills yeah there's no like actual
2836s	like okay the the cap is 30 or something
2839s	and and
2841s	um
2844s	my goodness whoa
2848s	I'm not fast enough to do this fight
2850s	properly
2852s	I'm uh oh my goodness just just like
2855s	this is how you hit all of them
2857s	I don't know why I thought that'd be a
2859s	good idea
2863s	okay I gotta pop some of these early
2866s	wow this is going poorly I need so much
2870s	more damage Mobility survivability
2874s	um I I don't think there's any way
2883s	that excellent portals
2886s	yeah our move speed is too low I need to
2888s	put boots on for this fight that are
2891s	higher move speed
2894s	and I have them that was one of the big
2896s	things I was worried about when I was
2897s	switching out these boots
2899s	um was the Moose he wasn't high enough
2901s	and we get stuff off killing things we
2903s	don't kill things very often in this
2905s	fight
2924s	Hold Us
2929s	and we use teleport as a DPS boost too
2964s	I don't know how we haven't died it's
2966s	been like three times I'm like oh that's
2967s	I'm dead
2991s	okay I got another question on this so
2993s	keep talking
2995s	but if I look away chances of me dying
2998s	is like guaranteed
3002s	so there should be a story behind
3004s	needing to approve merge director prod
3007s	yeah there's always a story
3010s	uh behind that
3021s	poppies
3038s	a little stagger there
3057s	is so much in this fight that's about
3058s	like managing
3061s	um ads
3063s	and like some of them are weird ads like
3064s	these these lightning things you gotta
3066s	walk over and pop
3091s	oh we got there
3095s	oh
3103s	skill should I drop right yes please
3110s	[Music]
3112s	pretty sweet it's the destinate item
3115s	though so
3120s	fun build to do
3123s	is there like anything you can do to
3124s	hurt you
3125s	that
3127s	a blind blind's such a funny such a
3131s	funny thing
3134s	we did it first try
3137s	no problem that deserves a celebration
3148s	and it's uh turtley boy hey totally boy
3155s	how you doing
3159s	WoW turtle
3176s	all right
3185s	why is there a lot of new content a lot
3187s	of content for Early Access yeah before
3189s	was fun bro but looking to check this
3191s	out there's I'd say there's as far as
3193s	Early Access games go I think we do have
3195s	a a pretty high amount of content
3199s	um
3200s	it doesn't have it doesn't have anywhere
3203s	near the poe levels of content I'll tell
3205s	you that right now
3207s	but there's there's a much more robust
3209s	end game than like Diablo 2 for example
3211s	which really doesn't have much of an end
3213s	game at all
3214s	um
3216s	we're definitely looking at expanding
3218s	our end game still
3219s	um and that is like a major feed thing
3221s	that's gonna like over the next year
3222s	we're gonna there's gonna be lots of
3224s	upgrades and expansions to uh to what
3226s	the end game loop is and um what options
3229s	there are the things you can do things
3231s	you can get all those sorts of stuff is
3233s	is gonna
3234s	expand quite a bit you know like Focus
3236s	around end game in in the like first few
3238s	Cycles
3244s	uh
3246s	I also just saw the the O'Neill with two
3251s	L's
3252s	it's definitely a Stargate reference
3253s	yeah there it is
3257s	I was also I was watching Stargate now
3261s	that were on the topic uh I'm gonna take
3263s	the opportunity there's an episode
3265s	there's a time travel episode where they
3267s	like
3268s	um like they they end up going to so it
3270s	was like one of the season finales and
3272s	they like mess up the past and
3274s	um then like their alternate reality
3275s	selves get a message from them in their
3277s	past they have to go back and re-fix
3279s	what their alternate reality fit messed
3281s	up
3282s	um
3283s	that's how uh fish get in O'Neill's Lake
3286s	in his cabin anyways
3288s	um and and Sam is like hyping it's like
3291s	mousy Sam is hyping yourself up to like
3294s	tell off her boss about a paper
3296s	um and and she she makes a reference to
3300s	like her like intro line at the very
3303s	beginning of the series where she's like
3304s	and just because my reproductive organs
3307s	are on the inside so the outside doesn't
3308s	mean you can then she's like that's dumb
3310s	who would ever say that
3312s	um like do I actually sound like that or
3313s	something and it's it was uh it was just
3315s	such a great little nod back to the kind
3318s	of cringy intro she got
3321s	I thought it was neat
3324s	that's what you get when I watch random
3325s	Stargate episodes
3328s	be closer smaller Circle run it faster
3330s	yes be better at the game I'm on it
3334s	uh we did that one didn't we
3342s	uh let's go do some spirits of Fire
3344s	yeah
3350s	[Music]
3352s	one of three
3357s	oh what season am I talking that's like
3359s	season eight or something
3363s	new season
3365s	six
3374s	I will tell you
3382s	it was Mobius
3388s	oh well eight season eight episode 19 I
3390s	was right the first time nice
3414s	yeah Stargate is not afraid to poke fun
3415s	itself they also they have somewhere uh
3417s	valumaldoron was pitching TV show ideas
3420s	to the TV exec that was filming a TV
3423s	show of Stargate and she was just
3424s	pitching other sci-fi shows
3426s	um and the TV exec was just like calling
3429s	out which shows they were and she's like
3430s	uh yeah you got me okay next one ah you
3432s	got me next one and then she pitches
3434s	Farscape which is the character which is
3436s	the show that the actress uh played
3439s	previously played on previously with her
3441s	co-star that came over
3443s	um
3443s	and when they both it was like season 10
3447s	or 11 when the big big reboot happened
3448s	in Stargate yes you won uh and and the
3451s	TV exec just has no idea what Farscape
3453s	was and he's like yeah you got me never
3455s	heard of that one
3456s	so they're like poking fun at like uh
3459s	they're she spoke in front of her own
3461s	show with that which I thought was
3462s	really funny
3465s	oh my gosh there's a giant thing on the
3467s	screen how long has that been there
3471s	sorry
3474s	it's back to the last default let's
3476s	let's talk about the game I'm actually
3478s	playing and working on
3484s	it's the last epoch
3486s	there's this one episode of last Epoch
3488s	where the main character has to go back
3490s	in time to fix
3494s	is the reason not to have server side
3496s	file for loot filters it's not a big
3499s	deal all I just noticed since I recently
3501s	reset my PC
3503s	um
3507s	[Music]
3510s	yes it's the answer your question there
3512s	is do I remember what it is no
3519s	if like it may have just been something
3521s	as simple as like
3523s	if we don't change anything it'll just
3525s	keep working because it's entirely a
3527s	client-side thing
3530s	um
3532s	and we just haven't got around to fixing
3535s	until like to implementing that yet I
3537s	think I think that's probably all it is
3540s	there's a lot of stuff like that that's
3542s	kind of like falling through the cracks
3544s	of like
3546s	um man we really should get that done
3547s	and
3548s	um the person who's getting into my
3550s	dad's like well we got this really
3551s	important thing that you've got to start
3553s	on right now
3555s	um we'll get back to it don't worry
3555s	we'll get back to it and it's probably
3557s	on some list somewhere
3559s	um but I've been doing a lot of those a
3561s	lot of those tasks this week it's been
3562s	great actually
3566s	tons of little things that you'd
3568s	that I I'd forgotten about and I'm like
3570s	yeah that'd be great let's get that in
3575s	also really nice to just like
3579s	get a checklist and like start checking
3580s	things off on it oh it feels good
3585s	I'm a simple man when that checklist and
3587s	that checkbox fills in
3590s	chills
3593s	uh
3596s	I feel like it was for offline then why
3597s	not have both server and client side
3599s	right yeah super minor to be honest yeah
3601s	it's um
3604s	I don't I don't have a good reason
3607s	I'm sorry
3611s	I know we've talked about having and
3613s	something I mentioned earlier in the
3614s	Stream is is having like a
3617s	um like a a server-side storage for loot
3622s	filters that you can uh search sort and
3626s	upvote
3628s	um
3631s	I think I think that would be a really
3633s	huge
3635s	um Improvement for new player
3636s	accessibility because because we do we
3639s	do drop a ton of loot like it's just a
3642s	ton of loot
3643s	um and the vast majority of it for any
3646s	one particular build is completely
3648s	useless
3649s	um
3652s	not all of its movies but like like
3654s	you know there's 100 pieces drop and
3656s	chances of one of them being good for
3658s	you is pretty low
3661s	which is why a lot of people filter out
3663s	huge amounts of items
3665s	um
3666s	and that process of setting up a loot
3668s	filter I think is a little daunting for
3672s	some players
3674s	um and we try to keep it relatively
3676s	simple to do a basic one and tutorialize
3678s	it that sort of stuff and there are if
3680s	you are in this boat right now there are
3682s	some fantastic ones uh that other people
3685s	have set up that are um kind of more
3687s	generic loot filters or like uh it's
3690s	like this is just a good Mage loot
3692s	filter like
3693s	um to get you started and you can
3694s	customize a little bit or they've got a
3695s	whole bunch of rules that are turned off
3697s	and you can be like oh this one sounds
3698s	like something good for me
3701s	so I think
3703s	um
3704s	I think heavy has one on the forums
3707s	um I know I've seen a bunch of other
3708s	ones too so
3709s	if you're in that boat check it out
3712s	um because yeah loot filter is a really
3713s	important part of making that experience
3715s	fun and good and when I play on on
3718s	stream I I just I'm not paying attention
3721s	to the loot like at all because I'm more
3723s	here about the stream than I am about
3724s	actually like improving this character
3726s	as much as I can but trying to have fun
3727s	with it too
3733s	that's why Miley filters not super
3736s	awesome
3747s	uh I know it's not about the game yet
3749s	but who wants who would win between tilk
3752s	versus Wharf
3756s	um traditional weapons in tow
3759s	no question
3762s	um
3763s	hand a hand
3766s	that's a tough one I don't know
3790s	I'm relatively new to RPGs welcome be
3793s	Burton O2
3794s	hope you're having fun uh blasted Ellie
3797s	awesome I'm not sure if it's being
3799s	discussed or even possible but what if
3802s	at the end of an arena run slash mono
3804s	and after Action Report popped up it
3806s	documented the damage each ability did
3808s	that way it could be used as damage test
3810s	build crafting setup
3812s	um so
3813s	the we very intentionally don't have a
3816s	way that says
3817s	um in this thing you just did here's
3820s	here's how much damage you did
3824s	um
3826s	and uh we we don't really have any plans
3830s	to change that however
3832s	um I do really like and this is
3834s	something that's been pitched before
3835s	that I've seen and I I fully support it
3837s	is having some sort of
3840s	um like after action reports uh for for
3843s	certain activities
3845s	um
3848s	whether it's like
3849s	um like you complete the campaign and
3851s	something tells you about like your
3853s	story throughout the campaign
3855s	um this this hearkens me back a lot to
3858s	um civ5 and Civics with mods where you'd
3862s	be able to at the end of a game there's
3864s	a uh the map you see it you see a a time
3868s	lapse version of the map
3870s	um that shows the territory the change
3871s	over the course of the game where like
3872s	each second is one turn in the game and
3874s	it like slowly grows and you see like oh
3876s	this emperor empire grew and fell here
3878s	and that sort of stuff and having those
3880s	like retrospectives on this long thing
3882s	you just did this this long challenge
3884s	you just undertook and helps you like
3886s	relive that process I think it's a
3888s	fantastic thing to do
3890s	um and it's also valuable in shorter
3892s	form things as well like the arena which
3894s	isn't that short but also in models as
3896s	well and I think that there's there's
3897s	room for maybe like
3899s	um
3899s	more vague things like
3903s	um
3903s	uh you used meteor 8 000 times or
3907s	something I don't know and
3908s	um or maybe the largest hit you did the
3911s	single largest he did came from this
3913s	skill
3914s	um things like that I think would be
3916s	really good
3917s	um having it be super specific and
3919s	detailed is uh is tricky and I I don't
3924s	think we have plans I know we don't have
3926s	plans but I don't think we uh I think it
3928s	would be a tough sell to get one of
3930s	those in
3933s	um
3938s	because there's like even if you do it
3940s	in like in in like say you at the end of
3944s	the monolith it shows you the
3947s	um like the total damage that
3951s	a certain ability did and the like
3953s	biggest hit that it really did or
3954s	something like that
3956s	um I mean like you can has a horribly
3958s	Innovation as it is you could just like
3960s	walk into a monolith cast one spell
3964s	uh portal out or let yourself die
3966s	intentionally
3968s	um and like get that report or something
3970s	and uh like use it for like the least
3972s	efficient DPS calculator of all time
3976s	and as soon as we add a tool like that
3979s	um like the possibility to get to have
3982s	something like that work in game the
3984s	conversation immediately shifts to give
3986s	us a quality of life Improvement to make
3987s	this easier because we already have it
3990s	um and if we take it out the
3991s	conversation becomes give us it back
3995s	um
3997s	and there's there's a little bit it's a
3998s	little bit harder to
4000s	take things away than it is to not add
4002s	them even if this is the reason it's
4004s	exactly the same for both of them
4013s	we are working on this is one of the
4016s	things we've been working on this week
4017s	is the
4019s	um the mini map on like lighter areas
4022s	like you just can't see it at all there
4025s	um
4026s	and like
4028s	you can see here with this darker
4029s	background it's like having something
4031s	that's like adaptive or just like
4033s	finding the right mixture of
4038s	eye of Newt and
4042s	tale of muskox to
4045s	to make it play nice
4050s	foreign
4052s	operating under the theory that we're
4054s	gonna have to have some sort of adaptive
4057s	um
4058s	overlay map for what type of Zone you're
4060s	in so like we'll have to have zones
4062s	tagged as bright or dark and then like
4065s	change the UI slightly for brighter dark
4067s	zones
4069s	will be my guess we do have a couple
4071s	zones that like you as you move through
4073s	them it likes flips
4077s	but we can't do like see on this map
4079s	even on the
4081s	brighter areas looks fine because it has
4083s	that that background but we can't put
4085s	that background your whole screens they
4086s	just look awful
4088s	um
4090s	I know there's some adjustments to some
4091s	zones that are also happening as well to
4093s	just like make this lesson a problem
4094s	because we're also we're also looking at
4098s	um
4099s	like other other UI elements that sit on
4101s	screen that maybe don't look as
4102s	fantastic in the untreated position one
4104s	of them really specifically this is
4105s	really terrible
4107s	um
4108s	and it's frustratingly not that terrible
4110s	in this scene to prove my point sadly
4112s	it's not working
4115s	you have to be so good when I'm trying
4116s	to say you're bad
4119s	uh
4129s	it's like no damage to him somehow
4145s	oh my god he has so much health
4150s	okay
4152s	the quest logs on the right here
4155s	it's kind of hard to see in this in this
4156s	scene right here
4158s	um so we're working on improving that as
4160s	well there's all sorts of little things
4162s	that we're improving polish touch-ups
4165s	pretty
4169s	uh next question here we go
4173s	hey hey how's it going
4175s	guys are having a great week I am having
4177s	a great week I was wondering what was
4179s	your view on the super uber uniques or
4182s	super rare FX Uber shards from design
4184s	standpoint or would it work on last
4186s	Epoch is there any is there one already
4189s	thanks keep the rear work
4191s	um yeah so I think that there is I think
4193s	there's room for
4195s	like super Chase items
4198s	um
4199s	and this is I'm basically just parenting
4201s	what they said in the D4 stream so
4202s	assuming you're talking about the D4
4203s	stream here
4204s	the D4 situation
4207s	um
4209s	having them and I'll tell you how we've
4211s	also tried to solve this problem and how
4213s	we may not have been perfectly
4215s	successful with that and all sorts of
4216s	stuff
4217s	um because this is a difficult
4219s	a very difficult problem to to solve
4221s	here so you you have
4223s	um and I think there's like an extremely
4225s	fine line where this feels fantastic and
4228s	like a tiptoe over the line one way or I
4231s	tipped over the line otherwise the whole
4232s	thing just crumbles and you can be like
4234s	unbelievably close to it being great and
4238s	it's just awful like it's so close
4243s	so this is like there's there's this big
4246s	desire and big need for
4248s	Chase items to happen in the game things
4250s	that
4252s	um are that require high power
4254s	characters require
4257s	um like put it putting in some effort to
4259s	like really get there having them having
4261s	them be Chase items things that you're
4263s	aspiring to get that maybe you're not
4266s	guaranteed to have things like that
4269s	um
4270s	but I think the like the sub text
4273s	request there is
4275s	and and I and I I just this is this is
4279s	sort of like how I feel about it myself
4281s	what I'm talking about is like yeah I
4282s	want these super rare things to exist
4284s	but I want to find them
4287s	um
4287s	and
4289s	you you can't everyone can't find them
4291s	if they're if there's these Chase things
4293s	to happen like it can't be something
4295s	that is expected to be found
4299s	they're they're they're they're they're
4300s	they're chase you know like these are
4302s	not things that you should be like I'm
4304s	gonna plan my build around having this
4306s	Chase item
4307s	um and I think that's where the big
4309s	problem comes in is that when you start
4310s	having these uh these very powerful
4312s	Chase items
4314s	well like by definition that kind of
4317s	like turns a build on it kind of like
4319s	makes it work awesome right
4321s	and so there's this you're trying to
4322s	make these Chase items that are rare but
4325s	not too rare powerful but not too
4328s	powerful
4330s	um
4330s	and and and also fun but not too fun
4333s	because then everyone wants them and and
4336s	it's like it's everything's like uh
4338s	there's this like too good line on like
4340s	three or four different axes that you
4342s	can cross
4345s	hopefully I'm making sense
4346s	um and and so I think there is room for
4349s	things like this to happen and
4352s	um
4353s	one of the ways we've we've tried to uh
4357s	to incorporate this a little bit is is
4359s	in our exalted items and legendary items
4362s	um
4363s	so you can you can have these these
4365s	versions of this of these items that are
4368s	that provide their unique effects and
4370s	functionally enable builds and and
4372s	functionally enable and enable certain
4375s	functionalities
4376s	um but then getting like LP versions of
4379s	them to get more stats on them so that
4380s	they are they're better items there are
4382s	these Chase item version these Chase
4385s	versions of these same items that are
4388s	um
4389s	very difficult to acquire they're cool
4391s	and it's like oh you got like a really
4393s	good version of that and I think the
4395s	like
4397s	the
4398s	like perennial example of things like
4401s	this is just wide roll ranges or several
4404s	roll ranges and several wide roll ranges
4407s	in uh on on high tier items that are
4411s	like accessible but still really
4413s	difficult to get super good versions of
4414s	them so like
4416s	um
4418s	I guess I'll use
4420s	a spirit I think is actually a pretty
4422s	good example of this in um a spirit Rune
4426s	word in Diablo 2. it's a very low tier
4428s	item
4429s	um it's really easy to get a Spirit uh
4432s	weapon and the shields are not that bad
4434s	either you just gotta find a white
4435s	monarch shield and you know that usually
4437s	get one of those by by the time you play
4439s	through the campaign
4442s	and
4444s	um
4447s	but then getting a perfect
4451s	35 25 Cascade
4454s	getting two perfect ones is it's kind of
4458s	a Chase thing you know like it's it
4459s	takes a while to do
4461s	um you still got a spirit Shield it's
4463s	not terrible to do but like it takes
4465s	some time
4466s	um
4468s	and there's tons of other examples and
4470s	things like that
4472s	um
4474s	and and so yeah we we try and have these
4476s	like these versions of items that are
4479s	the same thing with smaller numbers
4480s	effectively
4482s	um that you can get to turn on your
4484s	build and have it be functional
4486s	um
4487s	but these super rare versions are out
4489s	there now where we may be stumbling a
4493s	little bit with this is
4494s	um
4495s	the the point that we've like put the
4499s	expectations the play expectations on
4502s	this is just I'm just oh it is this
4504s	thing I have to kill great
4507s	um
4510s	the point that we've oh gosh stuff's
4512s	happening that was weird
4514s	um
4515s	the fact that a 4lp ravenous void exists
4519s	might be a mistake
4521s	like
4522s	no one has found a four LP ravenous void
4525s	yet on on live I can I can I don't know
4527s	for certain but no one's not one
4530s	I I put money no ones down to three I'd
4533s	suggest probably no one sounded two yet
4535s	you know
4537s	um
4538s	but the fact that these technically
4540s	could exist even if they're just like
4543s	this it's the same item with just like
4545s	slightly better stats
4547s	um
4548s	but the fact that it is theoretically
4551s	possible but practically impossible for
4555s	the even above average or like hardcore
4560s	or try hard like dedicated committed
4563s	player
4564s	um
4565s	it's it's possibly problematic and
4569s	um
4571s	I'm not sure the best way to
4575s	like properly communicate what the
4578s	expectations of the of the items here
4580s	and rank that you should be able to to
4582s	get are because if someone's just like
4584s	going on to like um like basketball
4587s	tools or tuck lab or some other
4588s	third-party site that's like lists out
4590s	all the possible items or you go into a
4592s	build calculator and you're like what
4593s	what could happen like pie in the sky
4595s	what's my best in slot for all these
4597s	things and then you look at this like
4599s	best in slot Pie in the Sky perfect
4601s	build and you're like I literally can't
4603s	ever expect to find any of these items
4605s	because they're all so unbelievably Mega
4607s	rare but I can find 95 versions of these
4611s	that are basically the same thing but
4613s	just like not quite as pushed
4617s	um and and it's it becomes a little less
4619s	satisfying
4621s	um I think
4622s	I think because you're there's
4625s	you're never really looking at that like
4626s	even like a single slot thing or that
4628s	slots like completely finished and
4629s	there's like no way I can improve it
4632s	and that that drive to
4636s	uh to push for better items I think
4638s	becomes diminished because it feels like
4641s	there's this really long tail
4647s	I think you end up in the situation
4649s	where you have like like here here's the
4651s	here's the like the total gear this is
4653s	this is better
4656s	better year goes this way
4659s	um and you you start with like normal
4661s	items you spend a little time with that
4662s	and you get your magic and your rare
4664s	items
4665s	um and this is the way I think it feels
4669s	um which is different than the way I
4671s	think it is
4673s	um and then you like you start getting
4675s	exalted items
4677s	um and you look at these like
4679s	you look at hey there's this like
4681s	exalted items there's like tier two
4683s	exalteds and tier three exalteds and
4684s	there's like tier four exalteds and like
4686s	four LP uniques and things like this
4688s	it's like way up here and and most
4691s	people are like stuck in this range and
4694s	they see all of this at the end and they
4697s	go I I want that but there's no way I
4699s	can get it and there's the expectation
4702s	is that you're gonna be sitting over
4703s	here and that's that's where the
4705s	content's balanced and where the game's
4706s	balanced and
4708s	um what we expect people to hit is is be
4710s	in this range of like rares and a couple
4712s	and a couple exalteds and a couple like
4714s	one to three tier
4716s	um LP uniques and things like that and
4719s	and you you see these like well
4722s	technically it's possible that you could
4724s	get a perfect uh like 47 exalted item
4729s	and a 4lp ravenous void and smush them
4732s	together and get that perfect like 47
4734s	ravenous Point legendary
4737s	yeah it's technically possible no it's
4740s	not gonna happen and
4744s	um
4745s	maybe it's just the fact that it's
4747s	technically possible is the whole
4748s	problem and like maybe there's certain
4749s	that doesn't need to be like people this
4750s	items capped at one LP the settings
4752s	capped to LP and I I really hate that
4755s	idea myself and I I think it it kind of
4759s	diminishes that
4761s	um what if
4762s	possibility it it it it you won't see
4766s	like maybe eventually you'll see that
4767s	time you go to the bazaar and there's
4769s	there's that item that's soon there's
4771s	there's like there's that two LP
4772s	ravenous voids sitting there you go oh
4774s	my God someone found that what
4777s	um there's that 3t7 item that's there
4779s	like oh my God someone found that what
4783s	um
4784s	and I I think I Think It's tricky to
4788s	find that balance in like there's this
4790s	oh my God maybe it could happen one day
4792s	and
4794s	um
4796s	no it couldn't and I think a lot of
4798s	people have a tough time understanding
4801s	really low or really high like really
4804s	low odds really big numbers really
4806s	really tiny numbers people it humans we
4809s	don't have a good frame of reference for
4810s	it
4812s	um
4813s	and like it's really easy to say like oh
4816s	you have a hundred of something you can
4817s	quantify that you know what like if you
4820s	were to say oh I have 100 pencils I bet
4822s	you could visualize pretty close to what
4824s	100 pencils looks like but if I said you
4826s	have a billion pencils you understand
4827s	what the number of billion means but I
4830s	guarantee you that you have no like if
4831s	he's like like how many how like how big
4834s	of a volume is a billion pencils like
4837s	like even try and compute it into into
4839s	smaller objects and like like build that
4842s	up into a space like it's you're still
4843s	gonna be so far off
4846s	and yeah I
4852s	kind of just rambling at this point
4853s	sorry
4854s	these are things I think about
4858s	where I'm going with this is I think the
4861s	main problem with having super mega
4863s	Chase items
4865s	um is if those items are functionally
4868s	and mechanically unique and enable
4870s	certain playstyles I don't think this is
4872s	a hot take at all so if you have some
4874s	item that is on the same tier as a 4lp
4877s	rabbits void
4878s	um and
4880s	there's like of of the hundred thousand
4883s	people playing uh some game one of them
4885s	will ever find it but that item if you
4888s	do find it it unlocks a completely new
4891s	play style and build and cool mechanic
4894s	um so one person gets to experience this
4896s	amazing thing and everyone else has to
4897s	be like oh wouldn't that be cool
4900s	um
4901s	I think that's what the problem comes in
4903s	it's that when the
4905s	like
4907s	you can't do the coolest thing
4911s	if you could do the cool thing but maybe
4914s	you can't do the cool thing as fast it's
4916s	way less of a problem I think
4920s	hell yes we slept for three months in a
4922s	row thank you very much welcome welcome
4929s	all right I'm gonna get back to
4931s	questions instead of just rambling
4933s	sorry about that a massive detour I
4936s	think you've all learned a spoiler just
4938s	sitting through that because that was
4940s	rough
4944s	uh okay
4946s	I didn't make this
4954s	[Music]
4965s	oh
4969s	that's it
4976s	yup there we go uh hey Mike Judd
4979s	mentioned there's a new Mobility skill
4981s	coming in 0.92 that internally is a team
4984s	favorite yes I read that this morning
4985s	too is there anything else you can share
4988s	and is it a favorite of yours
4991s	um
4992s	it's it's a fair it's I think that it's
4994s	it's one of my favorites moving skills
4996s	yeah I think it's a ton of fun
4998s	um it's not my favorite movement skill
5000s	shift is still my favorite Moon skill
5002s	um but I think it does a lot of really
5003s	cool mechanical stuff that is fun and
5006s	interesting and I just did the skill
5007s	cheat for it
5008s	um
5010s	uh well not on my own I I was working on
5013s	implementing the skill tree be clear on
5016s	that
5017s	um
5018s	I I think it's a lot of really cool
5020s	mechanically interesting unique stuff
5022s	happening in there it develops a new
5023s	tech to make it work all sort of stuff
5026s	um
5027s	yeah it's fun it's cool it's interesting
5030s	uh
5034s	it's it's base
5037s	it has it has uh so let's give a tag
5040s	tease it has a tag that is one of these
5042s	things and can be converted to another
5045s	one of those things
5047s	and possibly another one of those things
5051s	I think it has three three different
5053s	versions it can be
5066s	it's actually good info
5072s	that's all I got for you
5074s	it doesn't it but implicitly by me
5076s	saying that it can do damage as well I
5078s	should it's probably pretty obvious
5080s	hopefully
5082s	I've been trying rather unsuccessfully
5084s	to create a generic loot filter that
5086s	works for all classes and builds uh
5088s	something like never sings filter in Poe
5090s	could it actually be done uh yeah
5095s	I think it's really tricky to do
5098s	um
5099s	I think it's possible
5102s	um I haven't heard this suggestion
5103s	before but I think it could be possible
5106s	to create rules that only activate when
5109s	you're playing as specific classes
5114s	um
5116s	that can help things stay a little bit
5117s	more generic
5119s	unless you just want to find loot for
5122s	all glasses there's just so many class
5124s	specific
5126s	um
5128s	like
5129s	uh what I'm trying to say specific
5132s	affixes
5135s	so like you you come especially in Idols
5137s	as well you come to your class
5138s	specifically these categories 50 44 56
5140s	50 64. there's just so many things in
5143s	this list
5144s	and some of them are just so specific
5146s	that having a generic one is really
5147s	tricky so like okay you're playing a
5151s	um the difference between playing a like
5152s	a
5153s	bow Rogue and even just a melee Rogue
5157s	like suddenly this
5158s	is either really useful or really not
5161s	useful
5162s	um and you don't really care like you
5167s	you want to see like super
5171s	super strong items for anyone you know
5173s	but not like the the the interim items
5176s	you only want to see like the interim
5177s	items for the class you're playing
5178s	currently
5180s	um so I don't
5182s	mean you could probably make like an end
5184s	game one like a uh like a high tier
5187s	in-game one that did that I think but
5190s	having any sort of like uh like low like
5194s	like leveling progress version of it I I
5196s	don't know how it's possible with the
5197s	way we have it set up right now
5199s	um we are adding in more options so
5201s	hopefully it might help a little bit
5203s	uh
5205s	one two three five six welcome glad to
5208s	have you with us thanks for stopping
5211s	I hope you're having fun
5215s	[Music]
5220s	oh what's up Mike what's up zuckerby I'm
5224s	here to ask if there's any improvements
5226s	being made to alleviate some issues
5228s	installing community events coming soon
5230s	button uh to reset solo account found
5233s	online or anything else
5234s	um I I don't know I haven't heard
5236s	anything specific
5243s	but
5245s	I love the bugs good
5247s	um it's certainly possible sort of thing
5249s	we could be looking at
5251s	um someone may also be working on that I
5253s	just don't know
5262s	that is the style of stuff I've been
5264s	working on this week
5273s	uh cyborg war is asked one thing that a
5276s	lot of people enjoy in poer are the
5278s	Divination cards gonna be uh Farmers
5281s	related Target farming a really rare
5282s	item I know the last Epoch already has a
5284s	bit of Target farming and it's gonna be
5285s	more
5287s	and to see we have Guild but I do think
5289s	it's a decent system that gives the
5290s	players a sense of progression towards
5291s	bigger goals instead of being nothing
5293s	nothing nothing nothing to do 100 yeah I
5295s	agree and this is something that I've
5296s	I've talked about for sure in the um
5298s	uh in what one of the things that makes
5301s	Rune world so good as well
5304s	um in that you are you're building
5306s	You're Building towards something it
5308s	doesn't have to be something specific
5309s	because pieces can be used in multiple
5311s	places
5312s	um
5314s	that's one of the big differences we
5315s	that was one of the things we looked at
5317s	when talking about hey what are we going
5319s	to do for our legendary system and in
5322s	that you can work towards it slowly by
5325s	combining multiple items together
5328s	um now because it's only two items
5330s	instead of up to six that are in
5332s	wrenwards for example or way more in
5335s	divination cards
5337s	um
5338s	I want way more but yeah we'll get more
5340s	and um
5342s	oh
5351s	um
5352s	yes that that that General
5354s	um idea of mechanic where you're
5356s	building towards something
5358s	um and you have you get pieces to the
5359s	puzzle that that happen over time I I do
5361s	really like
5367s	and I'm sure you'll see a pop-up again
5370s	have you considered adding Random
5373s	Encounters to monoliths
5375s	uh like Butcher and treasure Goblin D4
5377s	they'll give some excitement to
5378s	otherwise but not as farming yes we have
5382s	um yeah I've yes
5387s	I don't know how else to say it
5390s	um we do have plans for um wait I call
5393s	it unexpected content
5395s	um things that just
5399s	you hop into a monolith and you don't
5402s	know what's going to happen before you
5403s	start as you come around the corner hey
5405s	something unexpected cool uh implied
5407s	quests That's What I Call treasure
5409s	goblins
5411s	where it's this like hey this is cool
5413s	thing I'm gonna run from you so the
5415s	quest is catch me and kill me before I
5417s	blow up or before I before I disappear
5418s	before I escape
5420s	um
5423s	and and so yeah that that style of
5426s	content
5427s	um is something we are working on and
5430s	will be seeing uh show up
5434s	in the not too distant future
5451s	two down one to go
5456s	is four LP theoretically possible on
5458s	every unique
5460s	um there are three uniques that uh there
5464s	is a version of them that it's possible
5466s	on and the
5469s	um the normal version is not possible on
5472s	uh because they're Quest rewards so
5474s	there's three Quest reward items that
5476s	can be obtained through the
5479s	um
5481s	uh the the necrotic fire dungeon the
5484s	soul Gambler there we go nailed that
5486s	first try and um so the the quest
5489s	versions throughout well while you're
5491s	getting them during the storyline the
5492s	first time you get them all uh cannot
5494s	have LP on them at all
5497s	um this is to avoid people
5500s	um basically farming quests over and
5502s	over again in the middle of the
5502s	campaigns you think would just be boring
5505s	um
5506s	in order to try and get uh the lp
5509s	versions of these rewards and then um
5511s	people like making new characters get to
5513s	this point delete it making your
5514s	character get to this point delete it
5515s	like that just sounds awful
5517s	um
5518s	so you you can't you those are always
5520s	zero LP and then
5523s	um the soul Gambler later on in the game
5525s	uh the dungeon reward you can uh you can
5529s	get LP versions of those same uniques
5531s	and they're a tweaked a tiny little bit
5534s	but they're basically the same thing and
5537s	um
5538s	actually a little better anyways the
5540s	those ones can have LP all uniques that
5543s	can have LP which is almost every unique
5546s	in the game can spawn with 4lb anywhere
5549s	from zero to four there are no hard
5550s	restrictions on any items at all on how
5552s	much LP they can spawn with having said
5554s	that if you go um tank lab has this laid
5557s	out really well
5558s	um
5577s	so you can see here's a little
5580s	um
5581s	so you can see these These are here
5584s	they're they're 200 each those ones are
5587s	the three
5588s	um
5590s	uh quests reward items and you don't get
5594s	those those are those will not spawn
5596s	with LP so other than these three but
5598s	there are um
5600s	you can get these through this little
5602s	Gambler cell so it's
5604s	sort of all of them sort of not all of
5605s	it's it's I don't know how you want to
5606s	describe it but it's effectively album
5609s	um this is the this this number here is
5612s	the level that they are I should have
5615s	captured the top of the table as well it
5617s	doesn't matter these this is the the
5619s	effective level that the item pretends
5621s	that it is when it's deciding if it's
5623s	going to have LP or not so you see some
5625s	items like prism wraps their base levels
5627s	five but their LPL is 90.
5631s	um so you can it's really easy to find
5632s	and equip prism wraps it's really hard
5634s	to find and equip legendary versions of
5636s	prison wraps so when President is
5638s	deciding if it's going to be a legendary
5641s	a legendary potential item or not when
5643s	it drops it pretends that it's a level
5645s	90 item for that calculation
5647s	um which and the higher level item is
5649s	the lower chance it has to have
5651s	legendary potential
5653s	so all these I've sorted this by uh LPL
5656s	and all these ones you see at the top
5658s	are the least I should be using wings of
5660s	argentis as an example because it's
5661s	actually the least likely to have
5662s	legendary potentials so all these ones
5664s	up here you're like
5666s	like anything anything that's on this
5668s	list right now like you find one of
5669s	those legendary with any legendary
5671s	potential and it's a huge win
5674s	um
5676s	yeah
5678s	and then you look at some at the at the
5680s	bottom of the list that are like
5683s	um
5684s	like either just
5686s	zero or like they just don't have
5687s	anything to use their own level normally
5689s	things like that and it's like you you
5692s	can see something you're like oh my
5693s	goodness that is insanely easy to get
5696s	them
5699s	um
5704s	example like Falcon Keepers glow
5708s	Fighting Chance Oculus Hamilton uh
5710s	grimoire
5711s	uh hell reach Throne of admission
5713s	Trinity of flames or the Orthodox peak
5715s	of the mountains firestar's torch all
5717s	those things are
5718s	pretty darn easy
5720s	to get
5723s	um
5724s	what's their potential on
5728s	which is sweet
5733s	that info is just on tongue Cloud it's
5735s	just a unique page I think that
5737s	information is also an icpoc tools it's
5738s	just the I knew that would be laid out
5741s	really easy to take a screenshot for the
5742s	Stream
5746s	slow not a big fan for death not a big
5749s	fan
5764s	next question cyborg war is asked I
5767s	think this issue the want for help
5769s	you're a red void thing uh thanks for
5771s	contextualizing the question I
5772s	appreciate you uh we'll get less
5773s	prominent as the game gets more content
5775s	I agree and items and stuff since it'll
5777s	take players longer to get stuck than it
5780s	does right now
5781s	um since I feel people who are saying
5783s	this are the ones who are playing for
5785s	hundreds or hours or exhausting game
5787s	content as it is currently yeah there is
5789s	we do so I agree I definitely agree that
5791s	the the issue is exacerbated by that
5794s	um sort of like people exhausting the
5796s	content
5798s	I totally agree there there is it's not
5801s	completely just that like there is
5804s	um there is a an issue with the item
5808s	acquisition curve plateauing at certain
5811s	points that we don't want it to Plateau
5813s	um and we're and we are working to fix
5815s	that
5819s	so I don't want to say like oh it'll get
5821s	better just just hang up hang on it'll
5823s	get better naturally don't worry we're
5824s	not gonna do anything we're just gonna
5825s	let it get better no we're not doing
5826s	that
5827s	um we are going to actively work to
5829s	improve the situation like always we're
5832s	always going to actively work to improve
5833s	the game
5834s	um
5836s	but we do we do want to acknowledge that
5838s	that's it's not perfect and we are
5841s	working to improve it
5852s	'd be boring if it was perfect well he
5854s	wouldn't be boring for all of you it'd
5855s	be boring for me
5856s	[Laughter]
5859s	we're not intentionally making it not
5861s	perfect that would be stupid
5867s	be grateful it's perfect though
5871s	could you imagine
5881s	all right next question
5885s	hey Mike oh my God run away Mike
5900s	I am gun shy from fighting a bunch of
5902s	elite versions of these
5906s	that wasn't so bad okay uh would it make
5910s	sense to scale the possibility with game
5913s	time uh or through some system so it
5917s	feels bad some areas when something is
5919s	near unobtainable but possible uh just
5922s	like why have it exist it's not
5925s	necessarily going to happen yeah and and
5927s	so I totally get this this like why have
5930s	it if it's not possible right and that's
5932s	sort of like okay well maybe we just cut
5934s	off some of them
5936s	um to not be possible anymore right
5940s	and I I
5943s	the reason we have it even though it's
5946s	not practical for someone to expect it
5949s	is is because it doesn't have a they
5952s	don't have a large mechanical impact on
5955s	the gameplay
5956s	um and aren't required to complete any
5958s	content that's in the game it's more of
5959s	a a trophy than anything else
5962s	um
5965s	yeah like like trophies don't do
5967s	anything like like why have why have a
5969s	gold medal at the end of the of the
5970s	Olympics for the winner like it doesn't
5972s	do anything right
5973s	um
5974s	but it's awesome
5978s	and I know it's not a direct comparison
5980s	but it's it's kind of along the same
5982s	vein right
5984s	um
5989s	there's there's definitely an argument
5991s	to be made for putting a cap on those
5993s	things removing those items that are not
5995s	practical to get
5996s	um
5997s	and I'm not gonna
5999s	knock him decree which is better uh here
6002s	sorry I know you're not pushing for that
6006s	uh do you think you could add item
6009s	Library where we could preview all items
6011s	in the game so you wouldn't have to rely
6012s	on third party websites to plan builds
6015s	um we we have talked about this
6018s	but in this and we have intentionally
6020s	not put an item database inside the game
6023s	though which I know is kind of opposite
6025s	to what I just was talking about about
6026s	like adjustment earlier in the Stream I
6028s	was talking about wanting to have
6030s	um
6032s	specific
6033s	uh to to not force players out of the
6036s	game
6037s	uh game Space very often or at all if
6040s	possible
6042s	and
6043s	um I don't
6044s	I don't know if it's necessarily
6048s	a um
6053s	like if we're gonna look at like the
6055s	the player who's like I'm gonna sit down
6057s	I'm gonna play the game and I'm gonna
6059s	like let my build sort of evolve as I
6061s	play and just take things that I think
6063s	look cool
6065s	um that that player probably doesn't
6067s	care about a database
6069s	or if they do not until pretty late like
6072s	how I play on stream basically
6075s	Mike doesn't care about that database
6077s	that much
6079s	at all
6082s	it's called stream back I like this
6085s	arcsfin
6088s	what's up glad to have you with us
6092s	I feel like I just answered a question
6093s	from you hope I did okay
6096s	um
6097s	what was I talking about sorry
6099s	oh yeah preview in the game it's it's
6101s	something we've gone back and forth on
6102s	adding I like an item database in the
6105s	game
6106s	um one thing I really want to add is a
6107s	bestiary and have it have it be like I
6110s	want a pokedex which I know sounds
6112s	ridiculous but I want it to be like
6115s	um
6116s	you know there's
6118s	there's there's grayed out version of it
6120s	it's like who's that Pokemon and
6124s	um once you like maybe if you've seen it
6127s	you if you fought one it like reveals
6130s	information if you fight 10 it reveals
6133s	like some sort of like little more
6134s	tidbit that's cool you know that's
6136s	something I think it'll be a ton of fun
6137s	it'll be super cool
6139s	um
6140s	maybe having something similar for items
6142s	we need to I think if you're gonna do it
6144s	for items you kind of need to put the
6145s	information up front because people are
6146s	gonna be using it as a database see what
6148s	they could get
6152s	um
6153s	I don't know we'll see what happens I I
6154s	think it's a cool idea we have talked
6157s	about it we intentionally didn't add one
6159s	that might not be permanent
6171s	foreign
6178s	that type of research and planning does
6181s	lend itself very well to the okay I've
6184s	got eight tabs open
6186s	type thing you know and mimicking uh
6189s	just a good
6191s	uh good UI for that like that is I think
6195s	tricky not impossible
6205s	just because it's hard doesn't mean it's
6206s	not a good reason to do it though
6211s	any chances of the end game
6214s	uh being added
6217s	of the end game being added to
6221s	any chance of the end gaming Adam before
6223s	I put out I'm like
6225s	yes
6228s	um being attitude 4.0 yeah yeah yeah
6229s	because right now uh it's it's pure
6232s	grind to be fair I like the grind here
6234s	more than any other game but any uh but
6236s	any changes yes there will be changes to
6238s	the end game
6240s	um
6241s	that will that will be available for you
6243s	you you if you put the game up 1.0
6247s	um end game will not look the same as it
6248s	looks right now
6251s	it looks like the most vague way to
6252s	answer that question ever because I
6253s	don't know what I'm allowed to say or
6255s	not
6257s	but there's cool stuff coming
6259s	I'll tell you that much
6263s	hey you've been a while since I last
6264s	caught a stream live hello glad glad to
6267s	have you here
6270s	it's been a good stream so far having
6271s	fun enjoy myself Lucy Lucy goosey
6275s	uh when can we expect the next Dev Vlog
6278s	or anything other than the next update
6280s	good question
6281s	um
6282s	everyone's pretty heads down right now I
6284s	don't think there's uh a major Dev blog
6286s	in the works
6288s	uh there's one topic I could see getting
6291s	Dev vlogs
6293s	uh I mean there's like
6295s	this is a really big networking project
6296s	that's happening right now that I think
6297s	would make a really awesome Dev Vlog
6299s	that almost everyone would look at and
6302s	go this is the dumbest Dev Vlog anyone's
6303s	ever written and then there's like four
6305s	Dudes in a corner being like yes this is
6307s	great
6308s	you know so well maybe something like
6311s	that
6313s	um there's another one that I think
6314s	could be made that would be sweet
6315s	um
6318s	the person who would have to write the
6320s	initial version of it is insanely busy
6323s	right now
6324s	they are always insanely busy
6329s	um
6330s	all the best dead blog's been written by
6332s	them though so
6336s	all right so I'll give you a maybe sorry
6339s	I don't have anything else on that uh
6341s	any news for the update on the set items
6343s	uh I know it's not touched it's not even
6346s	started yet I know that so not good news
6349s	but it is still planned it's still gonna
6351s	happen don't worry but I know there's
6354s	not been any progress on it in a long
6355s	time
6362s	uh all right working my way through
6364s	working my way through sorry if I'm
6365s	really far behind I'm not that far
6367s	behind
6370s	I really feel the ultra rare drops like
6372s	that are worthwhile because when someone
6374s	does drop uh drop one it becomes a
6376s	community event of everyone talking
6378s	about it and stuff bringing everyone
6379s	together making a legend or whatever in
6381s	the game yeah and and see that's that's
6383s	kind of what I was what I was trying to
6384s	talk about a little bit earlier with the
6386s	like oh you see one of the bazaars he's
6388s	going on a forum post stuff like that
6389s	yeah it is a really cool moment
6392s	um
6392s	and as long as there's a a functionally
6396s	like 95 version of that item that is
6399s	available to people if they try really
6401s	hard like if you if you if you're like
6404s	I'm gonna put in a ton of effort and
6405s	there's a decent chance with a ton of
6407s	effort I'm gonna get this amazing item
6410s	that's not the like it's not winning the
6413s	lottery item
6417s	um
6419s	and
6422s	yeah so it's it's and that's what I mean
6424s	that's what I'm talking about like we
6425s	started this whole uh topic I was like
6427s	there's a really fine line you stick one
6429s	to over either direction it sucks
6432s	um and you could be like super close to
6433s	feeling awesome and it feels terrible
6436s	um and I think I think that's all like
6438s	if you people are bringing up really
6440s	good points and there's there's also
6441s	lots of
6442s	um personal feelings and personal
6443s	opinions people have around systems like
6445s	this that will vary really wildly and I
6448s	don't think there's a great one size
6449s	fits-all solution that and we're gonna
6451s	have to accept that some people that
6453s	aren't going to be happy with whatever
6454s	we do come up with in the end
6456s	um
6458s	and we're just gonna try and make the
6459s	thing that we think is gonna be the most
6461s	fun for the most number of people
6471s	all right
6476s	just paying for the questions above I
6478s	can do that
6480s	a few players have asked for a Gear mod
6483s	Pokedex suit yeah uh would some kind of
6486s	system that makes such a rare item
6488s	visually distinct so people could know
6491s	that something is incredibly rare or
6494s	being motive for people to chase rare
6495s	things over things that are positively
6497s	that positively impact their actual
6499s	build the input
6501s	good question let me
6503s	see if I can wrap my brain around it
6510s	with some kind of system that makes such
6512s	rare items visually distinct so people
6514s	could know oh so like like
6517s	um
6518s	like like some sort of like Mega star on
6521s	there like like a big like star star
6523s	like oh my God this just dropped make
6525s	sure you don't leave this behind like
6527s	the chances of this happening are like
6529s	one in a billion oh my God type type
6531s	notice I I think that'd be kind of cool
6534s	um yeah I don't I don't see I'm not a UI
6537s	designer so
6538s	um
6540s	I'm sure I'm sure that you I uh UI lead
6543s	would would be like no Mike here's why
6548s	um except you'd say it nicer
6551s	anyways
6552s	um I I think it's a cool idea I think
6554s	it's a really cool idea and I think that
6556s	um
6558s	it's it's hard to detect those things in
6561s	some situations
6563s	um I mean just like we like any item
6567s	that has more than like
6570s	um I don't know item has more than 25
6572s	tiers of affixes on it gets like some
6574s	sort of like visual Flair to it maybe
6576s	you know something like that where it's
6577s	like oh my God you found a tier 25 plus
6579s	item which are a really Mega rare
6584s	the highest possible weirdly enough the
6587s	highest possible total tiers on an item
6590s	is not a four by seven
6592s	um
6594s	it should be 28. uh the the highest
6597s	possible on an item
6599s	uh is is actually
6602s	um stealing a T4 and because T6 and C7
6606s	are are resulted in drop only
6609s	um in order to seal an affix it has to
6611s	start with uh three T sevens and a T4 to
6615s	seal so you start with 32700 T4 to seal
6618s	you seal the T4
6619s	um and you're 25 and then you can get
6621s	five more you have to 30. so so 30 is
6624s	the highest and it's not the one that
6626s	what you'd think would be the highest
6628s	um but yeah anything over about what to
6630s	say 25 is Bonkers
6636s	biggity biggity bonkers
6649s	oh that hurt
6653s	ow my face
6671s	I caught up
6681s	let's Starcraft building
6686s	it's not mine someone else made that up
6688s	it's great though
6691s	if you know time for a teaser yeah
6694s	you're right
6696s	big time
6702s	you're only allowed to clip it if you
6704s	can tell me
6705s	what Starcraft building that is
6723s	all right here's a little teaser for you
6725s	because I died and I I offered my
6728s	Penance to you
6730s	in this
6732s	this concept art
6735s	I didn't even look at this I I may have
6738s	just slapped the image and have been
6739s	like I'll see it when it is when it's on
6741s	stream
6743s	I can't see this too tiny
6746s	that's cool
6748s	oh I know what this is
6754s	[Music]
6756s	I really like it when they put the
6757s	little like
6759s	um the material references in there
6762s	in the concept art big fan
6774s	no leaks no leaks don't worry no leaks
6776s	are good I'm Rock Solid Rock Solid
6781s	thank you
6784s	see it's 20 21 somewhere on that image
6787s	no
6789s	oh yeah that's just uh
6791s	yeah that's um
6794s	someone slapped uh like just overlay on
6797s	it
6798s	the art is not from 2021.
6819s	can't have a regular without a mimic
6826s	oh they did the mimic in uh the deity
6829s	movie it was really good I really
6830s	enjoyed that movie
6833s	I I feel like I was the absolute like
6836s	just the like they're like who are we
6838s	gonna make this D movie for Mike let's
6841s	make Mike a d d movie okay here we go
6843s	because like I've played Just Enough DNE
6847s	to get like most of the references and
6850s	like understand generally the like
6852s	nuances of like most things that are
6853s	happening but like there there wasn't a
6856s	ton of like super advanced stuff that I
6858s	you needed to know
6860s	um
6864s	it felt like it I went and watched a
6866s	bunch of like things you missed from d d
6868s	movie video after the fact and I'm like
6870s	yeah the stuff that I totally missed but
6872s	like not that much really
6877s	I thought they hit the sweet spot for
6879s	someone
6880s	someone who's uh
6882s	played a little bit of d d but not a ton
6907s	that spawns all this
6914s	uh
6916s	good stuff good stuff
6923s	give you one more of those to round out
6925s	the stream at the end here whatever time
6927s	this Echo
6942s	maybe we got time for teamwork
6949s	give me that go I love God
6979s	let's go race to the Finish
6985s	seal the reef gate
7000s	someone someone posted the VFX for uh
7002s	one of the Warlock skills that'll
7004s	eventually be there in 1.0
7006s	um
7007s	one of the new one of the new ones and
7009s	like
7011s	the you you know like you talk about
7012s	something in a concept art phase and
7015s	like a design phase and you're like oh
7016s	this would be cool like maybe we can
7017s	make you do something like this and then
7020s	like someone implements it and somehow
7022s	just knocks it out of the park and
7024s	you're like yeah
7027s	that's what happened it was cool I liked
7028s	it
7034s	if you're watching you know who you are
7036s	good job loved it
7058s	all right Mike don't trip at the finish
7059s	line
7063s	feels like it's gonna happen
7081s	hey foreign
7091s	have you guys considered an end game
7093s	system more similar to Maps where you
7095s	pay a price to open the map the rewards
7098s	are better in addition to the monolith
7099s	or is it just dungeons yeah I was about
7101s	to say you know how dungeon keys don't
7103s	stack right now
7106s	you know Maps don't Stacks you know why
7108s	Maps don't stack
7110s	because they have specific mod rolls on
7112s	them
7119s	all right
7122s	once more because you've all been so
7123s	great
7127s	[Music]
7135s	the key
7139s	uh you thought you said something to
7142s	stack they they probably will stack we
7144s	considered having
7146s	um we were considering doing dungeons
7149s	with with
7150s	um the keys having properties that you
7152s	can roll into them which is why they
7153s	don't stack now uh but I don't think
7155s	we're doing that so I think they
7156s	probably will stack
7158s	foreign
7163s	they'll most likely end up
7166s	uh in here
7168s	that's where I can blend up or somewhere
7170s	very similar to this if they don't end
7171s	up in here
7174s	all right
7178s	that'll about
7181s	I had a great stream
7183s	I had a ton of fun
7186s	thanks for stopping by I had to tell the
7188s	fun I hope you did too if I didn't
