73s to magelka after but you are used to
76s walking right
80s never walk
83s what is this
92s finish off the chapter the campaign here
94s I think
105s where are we going here
111s I think we want this we need we need
113s boss kill stuff
121s can I help you
123s yeah I'm gonna dump some gear here
162s all right
164s let's get a move on
178s all right hey Mike congrats honor and
180s mass release I am loving it however I've
183s been disappointed with the Trinity of
184s elements maybe I'm building it wrong
185s certain skills seem to be way better
187s than others uh I mean there's
190s like each invocation has
195s uh I don't have Lighting on my bar right
197s now never mind I was gonna look
202s um
203s we tried to balance them for roughly how
208s much like utility they have how much
210s area they have how much cost they have
212s how much damage they deal but there's so
214s many of them there that I'm sure we
215s didn't uh quite balance it for all of
217s them
224s it's hard it's hard to get like that
225s many um balanced really smooth on first
229s try we did did our best for it I think
231s we did a pretty good job
237s no I don't think that was Overkill
240s laughs
249s I just die right away
258s I can go this way though
269s Shrine will take it
278s what what what what just happened okay
282s we're apparently not good enough for
285s this are we under leveled somehow we are
287s exactly correctly leveled this is just
289s embarrassing
291s wow
294s okay I will take this seriously and uh
297s I'm not just assume we're fine
320s all right we got
322s a little cachet
335s it's not bad
343s potential there too actually
348s it's called void damage that would be
350s cool
352s I don't know much we can do with that
357s so much of our scaling is element based
370s thrust monster oh yeah I forgot to do my
373s Spiel when I start one of these things
375s up welcome everyone uh thank you very
377s much Master Sword for 29 months of
380s resubs in a row that is amazing
382s uh wow
386s get getting close to another Milestone
388s there
391s that's wild
392s um uh so I guess oh I'm just gonna throw
395s my throw my character away at first
397s before I do this got me all flustered
399s here oh
400s um
402s if this is your first time here welcome
403s welcome I am one of the Developers for
406s this game and I'm playing it answering
408s questions so if you have a question for
409s me please put at last debug game in the
411s question and chat I'll be happy to
413s answer it
414s um if you
418s uh oh yeah all the money everything goes
420s straight to uh charity Charities above
422s my head there
423s this is interesting is this a
427s H not very much sometimes
429s um white items can get like huge bursts
432s of Fortune potential that you just like
433s do whatever you want with
435s that one didn't get it so we're gonna
436s ignore it and thank you very much fur
441s um
444s did they butcher the name
446s appreciate it
449s hope the butcher wasn't enough to uh
452s request a uh an undo a redo
460s all right
471s no problem eh
477s I know
485s oh that explosion just big enough that
487s it hits no matter how bad you are
497s not awesome
504s what are we to do
506s uh yeah I'll answer some questions here
515s uh will we get more transformation
516s skills from uh like Lich form Etc would
519s be cool for example Forge guard uh could
521s equip manifest armor as an Iron Man suit
523s or something similar we've we've talked
525s about wearing manifest armor uh
530s semi-seriously many times
535s um
536s it's always one of those things of like
539s I mean we could do it you know
541s yeah yeah we don't we know we could do
544s it but uh do we do it
547s um
549s it's come up a few times and we have
551s intentionally not done it thus far
555s um but it would be very cool there's
557s there's no more transform abilities
559s planned for 1.0
564s I don't think
567s not there's no more like like uh like
570s Drew Transformations or like Lich form
572s transformation like it's not like
573s full-on like new abilities on your bar
582s all right
585s do you know if there's anything going on
589s with H or E West servers I do not know
592s the status of the eus servers at all
594s right now I'm sorry
599s welcome with 1.0 warlock is definitely
601s coming to 1.0
623s oh
625s lots of lots lots of like just Aaron's
627s damage that just sneaks out of nowhere
633s at least still doing the weird thing
634s yeah they are
643s all right
648s hello hello everyone
651s welcome glad to have you all here
657s how's everybody doing has anyone found
659s I'm I mean because I know it's like a
661s big focus on
663s um Rune Master dispatch obviously
667s and um I guess I'm wondering have has
669s anyone found like new life breathed into
673s a build that maybe you were playing
674s before that just like a new item came
676s out for or there was just like an
678s incidental buff to something else that
679s like made a build you were trying to
681s make work that wasn't working before
682s Network I'd be really interested to hear
684s about that
691s I mean
693s yeah let's do this
699s also probably already asked we've had
700s like three questions to stream so I'd be
702s surprised
705s um but we have ntx for Minion skills
707s yeah we will have MCX Romanian skills
709s I'm not at 1.0
711s um
712s but minion skill MTX is a
715s like plan feature
722s all skills are planned to at some point
724s have ntx
728s we've actually slightly adjusted some
730s skills in how we've designed the skill
733s itself knowing that we were eventually
735s going to have an MTX for it
737s just little things like um like well
740s okay we're making this this skill and
741s it's Gotta Have a fire MTX no matter
743s what
744s do we put a fire note on the tree
746s anyways then
748s um you know things like that
758s I am really excited for when we
760s eventually get like Idol crafting in the
763s game
765s I think that's gonna be a huge huge
767s thing like just just any way to interact
770s with Idols really because they're so
772s like black box right now
775s um that you just like you get an idol
777s and you're like is this the right Idol
779s no okay well that's too bad
784s I just I want that like
790s agency with with the idols I know I know
793s that's a like common thing that everyone
795s wants but yeah
799s would it be possible to teleport us to
801s the entrance of a dungeon in the event
803s we die rather than some Town nearby
805s forcing extra load scenes probably
809s I don't see why not
814s using the minion teleport with with you
816s ifx I'm a bone gold and build huge
818s quality life upgrade loving it yeah yeah
820s that's that's uh that's one of those
822s things that's like it's a mechanical
823s difference and and like doesn't have a
825s direct like
827s more damage node but like because it
830s positions them all so well it has this
833s epic damage boost to it through
835s mechanics which are like really standout
837s nodes and the types of things we want to
839s be doing more
841s and something we knew like like you go
844s uh I didn't smoke we were cool
846s um
847s like like anyone anyone who's ever
849s played D2 and gotten an enigma on their
851s on their Necromancer knows exactly
855s how important it is
869s what just just let me okay like this
872s should destroy it right ah it's worth a
875s shot right
886s why can we only equip two rings uh if I
889s was an RPG character I would cram five
890s onto each finger and become a God was
892s born to be so like the power that a ring
896s conveys is quite often very like
899s concentrated and acute and if you put
903s like powerful rings too close together
906s they can like interact with each other
908s in bad ways and so like I don't know you
911s don't want like your finger being
913s switched out with like a hoof or
914s something
916s um just just accidentally because he
917s didn't expect it the the combinations
919s have some weird effects so so really
921s it's a safety matter that you can only
923s have two rings one at each hand it
925s equips
927s oh
932s maybe what it's like
936s let's plan this backfire what do I do
939s oh it's really backfired
946s 1.0 release still planned for 2023 yup
960s yeah new GP has the real answer it's
963s it's that if you could equip 10 rings
965s then we'd have to balance it around
966s being able to put 10 rings and each ring
968s would be boring AF
987s uh do you plan on doing uh doing events
990s in game like SB Buffs Etc also any news
993s amongst the long loading screens yeah
994s like so it must be a long long series is
996s something we've been working on for a
997s very long time
998s um it's not something that ever is not
1001s worked on since this whole year and a
1004s year before it
1008s cutting down the loading screen time is
1011s where we're like all right we we we cut
1013s off one second awesome
1016s that was worth the the time and effort
1018s it took to do it which was the same
1020s amount as in adding a whole skill
1023s um
1025s and it is and like we're gonna keep
1028s working on the loading screen time
1029s that's that's not changing
1036s uh
1041s yeah yeah there'll be events and stuff
1045s um
1046s specifically an XP buff I can't
1048s guarantee
1058s but yeah that is the sort of thing that
1060s we we do plan on doing
1081s this guy is a jerk base
1087s I do I do find it really funny you can
1089s like make his the the the
1091s um the AOE turn in a different rate if
1094s you make him turn
1109s any column any columnist build really
1111s bad I don't know where I'm gonna get it
1112s from
1113s but I'm I need to get calling
1118s absolutely
1121s hey buddy
1124s perhaps well you I can't complain about
1127s that often
1128s totally normal dude that will not have
1130s any problems with later at all totally
1133s totally super normal [ __ ]
1139s definitely never met him before in
1141s another timeline
1164s I don't know I did that
1168s uh just PVP in the future maybe I'd
1170s really like to I it was a very high
1172s probability PVP shows up at some point
1173s it's not a priority for us as far as
1177s um like competitive game modes and
1179s balances concerned at the moment
1182s um but pvp's a ton of fun and
1186s um
1187s I think there's ways we can approach it
1189s that people will be able to enjoy it
1192s um I I don't know how worthwhile it is
1195s attempting to run a competitive PVP
1198s system at the moment
1201s um
1202s it requires such tight balance
1205s that um
1207s I just don't think we're ready for it
1209s yet
1213s but having said that in the early days
1215s of this historian told before but in the
1217s early days of
1219s um
1220s multiplayer design there was a um
1228s uh like the first mode we've like
1230s created for multiplayer was just
1232s um
1233s One-Shot Fireballs like that was it
1236s everyone just said Fireball it was
1239s unspeced everyone died in one hit it was
1242s a green plane
1243s like just a flat green surface Square
1246s and it was a ton of fun
1251s so
1259s seeing as your master feels very unique
1261s especially to arpg warlock also get a
1263s unique mechanic that wasn't explored in
1265s the genre yet
1268s um not to the same extent as
1272s um as your master remastered like I I
1275s frequently say that Roadmaster is our
1277s highest complexity class is designed as
1280s such and will remain as such for the
1282s foreseeable future they will near future
1284s let's say near future
1288s um
1290s it's it's we we we're not we're not
1292s trying to one-up the Run master in
1294s complexity for the other classes that's
1296s that's not the plan
1299s um
1301s they've got some unique things about
1303s them in some unique ways they work
1305s um but the goal is not to make
1308s um Rune Master Plus remaster plus
1312s plaster Master plus plus you know with
1314s new classes
1315s um because like some classes don't do
1317s well with that type of theming on like
1320s intense complexity
1321s um like hypothetically say you're
1323s designing a barbarian class you're
1325s probably not looking to do it the high
1327s complexities design space with that
1329s you're probably looking to do something
1330s pretty straightforward and you know the
1332s key phrase that would come to I would be
1334s smash
1338s you know like let's Channel some Hulk
1339s energy
1348s yeah but yeah like like uh warlock has
1351s things that is unique that makes it
1353s unique in last epoch
1357s it's carved out a niche for itself
1367s and and at the same time like you can
1368s you can find like uh I don't want to
1372s download the warlock's getting but like
1374s you can also like with regards to the
1376s question you can also look at remaster
1378s and there's other maybe they're
1380s technically not arpgs but like there's
1383s they're basically like like um
1386s uh The Gauntlet remake
1389s has
1390s the the Wizard is like this basically an
1393s arpg
1395s um it's missing a few things for like
1396s the same style in the RPG I think but
1398s like it's basically there
1400s um
1402s and it's it's essentially the same core
1404s system so it's only two spells and
1407s um
1408s you know the order doesn't matter and
1410s all that sort of stuff so like there's
1411s way fewer accommodations and everything
1413s um
1415s but yeah I think we're
1418s maybe taking some things you can
1419s reference in other games to the next
1421s level again
1430s because there's almost always ways to
1431s describe you can basically take any
1433s skill in any RPG and find some other
1436s skill or combination of skills where
1438s you're like well it's just these two put
1439s together you know that sort of thing so
1441s it's it's hard to come with a completely
1443s original one but we've tried to put our
1445s own twist on
1447s um
1448s maybe some Unique Mechanics and also
1451s some familiar mechanics
1455s I think you'll really enjoy it
1465s hi Mike many tanks it's amazing game
1467s you're welcome do you plan to introduce
1469s x e s s one day yes I have an Intel rxd
1472s uh yeah
1474s um
1475s I I can't say specifics on that at the
1478s moment
1479s um
1480s uh especially with with things happening
1484s right now
1485s um
1486s but
1488s um getting more things like that into
1490s the game is something we do want to do
1493s um I I don't I don't want to get your
1496s hopes up on specific things so I'm gonna
1498s say I'm gonna say maybe but hopefully
1505s uh
1509s uh is there a wrong
1512s mechanic in this sword
1515s uh
1518s sword is higher than the exalteds wait
1520s the damage with the sword is higher than
1522s an exalted swords T25
1528s don't understand the question let's take
1530s a look
1533s foreign
1534s let's find out
1540s doing stuff off screen super awesome
1543s uh okay
1548s let's just grab it so we just pull just
1549s this on screen
1552s we're talking about we're talking about
1553s this
1566s looks fine to me I don't see a problem
1568s with it
1573s if you think you found a bug please
1575s submit it a bug report
1577s um
1578s I don't understand what the problem is
1580s sorry
1587s hey hope you're doing well I am doing
1589s well thank you
1593s hope you're doing well too
1607s add Capture the Flag to It capture flag
1609s Instagram Fireballs yeah free for all
1611s capsule fighting fireballs hahaha
1617s I cannot do that
1621s anything will be dropped on 1.0 yeah
1623s there'll be uh lots of stuff dropping at
1625s 1.0 like um the three big things are the
1628s item factions the Warlock and the
1631s falconer which are three huge things
1638s along with who would seek to bind me
1642s Freedom will be out oh sorry are you
1645s asking if things will be like removed
1647s from the game
1649s like something that is already in game
1650s like Weaver's will uniques no we're not
1652s we're not stripping anything out of the
1653s game for 1.0
1659s that's what you're asking
1664s follow-up questions are tough for me
1666s because I forget what the original one
1668s was
1671s awesome okay uh cool that's nice to know
1674s I meant more of in a design space sort
1676s of a necessarily complexity
1678s um yeah there's
1684s farewell
1687s I mean I I can I can draw examples from
1691s other arpgs if I like
1693s you know dig deep into that Archive of
1695s arpg knowledge you can find references
1699s um
1700s for certain things
1710s bring me his head of course
1713s so so nonchalant
1715s um there is a
1721s yeah I can't really talk about it like
1722s there's there's yeah there's there's new
1724s stuff that we're bringing to the table
1727s um the last Epoch there's
1729s uh I think you can probably find
1731s parallels somewhere else if you look for
1733s it yeah
1736s not exact the same stuff but like I
1739s don't know how to describe it
1740s you'll see it's gonna be awesome
1746s hello hello
1747s I'm sorry I'm gonna release another bug
1749s listed video I swear it's in the
1751s community I'm not trying to do QA
1753s cool
1768s all right come on
1778s this one I like a lot
1781s yeah it's good stuff
1785s uh don't forget to put Atlas teapot game
1787s in your questions so I see it and answer
1788s it I skipped ones that don't have that
1790s generally but I'll answer a couple of
1792s them look like they want in it have you
1794s thought about adding consumables potions
1796s of Buffs maybe something where you mix
1798s Brewing potential and the more you mix
1800s the higher chance of ending up with a
1802s ruined potion
1803s um we have talked about doing that
1806s um
1808s there's a bit of a uh a uh like
1812s I don't know like a disconnect a
1814s gameplay disconnect
1816s um when it comes to doing something like
1817s that because there's a
1821s there's
1822s um
1826s the the the the the way you refill
1828s potions
1829s is by picking up a like a potion on the
1833s ground to refill it and
1836s um if if that's like if your potions if
1839s you've like done something to
1843s um like mix your potion
1845s and you've like given new effects to
1848s your potion or whatever
1851s let's say
1852s um
1854s and and you go to then
1858s um
1858s like like refill it with with materials
1860s from the ground by picking up a potion
1862s it's it's a little odd that the potion
1866s automatically takes on the properties of
1868s the potion you've mixed as the like
1871s theming for why the potion has new
1873s properties
1875s um
1876s like are you are you like getting
1877s materials and you're like brewing a new
1879s potion that sort of thing
1883s um it it feels a little it feels a
1885s little there's a bit of a disconnect
1886s there and we're not we we didn't like
1888s the ways we came with resolving that
1890s um which is why we've put all of the
1893s um the potion effects on the Belt slot
1897s because it's more like it's this magical
1899s device that you're placing the potions
1901s on and the belt itself is sort of like
1904s automatically making so when you drink
1906s potions from this belt you get these
1908s effects and and so there's a little bit
1910s like the that that process that's
1912s affecting the potions is coming from the
1914s belts passively and not from an action
1916s you're taking actively so it makes more
1917s sense that they're updating in combat a
1920s lot more
1922s it's not perfect and everything
1925s um but we also wanted to tie more things
1929s to gear slots in general
1931s um and having potion effects on the
1933s belts we we feel is a really good way to
1936s to give the belt something something
1938s unique in that slot because we try and
1940s give unique properties to each slot
1942s um so that the slot itself has a bit of
1944s an identity and
1946s um
1947s we're really pleased with the belts
1949s being the potion and like previous games
1951s have set that precedent but they
1953s generally use potions or belts like the
1955s the big one here is D2 here and the
1958s um
1960s uh what am I trying to see here oh yeah
1962s yeah like and the belt just gives you
1964s more slots and we do that too but um
1966s we're trying to just extend that concept
1968s a little bit more
1974s so I guess like the Brewing potential is
1977s the forging potential on your belt so
1978s there you go
1982s uh hello there as a necromain in any RPG
1985s one thing you focus nailed was giving us
1987s a button for the minions to attack a
1989s focused Target thank you that was
1993s I agree that's an important that's a
1995s very important thing and so it took us
1997s way too long to actually get in the game
1998s so you can thank all the people that
2000s were playing years ago that pestered us
2002s to do that
2004s because that was definitely some people
2005s asked us for at Great length and they
2007s were very right
2023s if I bugged all the time I killed and
2024s they drop loot nice
2026s but you guys had skills or MTX skills in
2030s the future absolutely if you notice in
2032s your blessings appearance Deb there is
2035s this uh skill cosmetic section
2038s that tells you there's gonna be a skill
2039s Cosmetics
2041s um
2044s is there also yeah skill VFX right here
2046s as well in the shop so there's like yeah
2049s hopefully we're we're signposting that
2051s pretty well
2054s I'm gonna drop this room for the game
2056s yeah we're not planning on dropping any
2057s features from the game on 1.0 launch
2059s they're like there's a slice
2063s I guess I should clarify that a little
2064s bit because I'm sure there's going to be
2067s um some node and some skill tree that
2069s gets cut or changed or whatever
2072s um you know like that sort of thing will
2073s happen but that's constant
2075s um
2076s we're not we're not taking out any like
2078s Dungeons or uh mechanics or you know
2083s item types or removing any like unique
2085s altogether or anything like that
2090s [ __ ]
2096s there's a sweet double fire Oro
2104s that's a pretty sweet Idol actually
2107s if you're doing fireworks stuff
2111s I don't know if we can kill the Mage
2112s right now
2114s this is the problem like our damage is
2115s so lacking
2118s I don't know if we can even do it
2121s just spell light damage we're just doing
2123s no lightning damage which is frustrating
2125s but it is just a lot of flat damage
2129s but it might be more actually
2133s that's way more
2136s let's
2138s um
2143s we don't want shock I don't care about
2144s shock that's real shock
2147s chill's fine
2161s yeah I think that's an upgrade
2165s pretty sure it's a little awkward just a
2166s touch and upgrade
2168s no big deal
2178s the haste to have like the haste effect
2180s and the haste musical stuff not actually
2182s that awesome
2184s I think we're gonna switch These Boots
2185s as soon as we can
2190s they are yeah zero 40 pencils because
2193s they're pretty
2198s pre-sealed
2209s ice people get in here I Choose You ice
2212s beetle
2216s oh
2228s snake fire abilities thaw enemies
2235s uh you said in the past you pitched to
2237s remove ice Thorns was Frost Club related
2239s to a rework or removal of that skill
2241s later changing basically no it had
2242s nothing to do with each other at all but
2244s I can see why you might think that
2248s uh
2259s one of the top default streamers yeah I
2262s saw it as just declared that he was
2263s meeting Ellie wow hopeless brings more
2265s into the fold wow I did not know that he
2267s declared that he was meeting Helene I
2269s saw him playing uh that's cool
2272s very cool
2275s welcome welcome friends stay awhile and
2278s listen
2280s you see I'm looking for those those
2282s white items that have like Spike Forge
2283s potential
2287s oh Michael
2289s do you not know to pause your slack
2291s notifications before going live on
2293s stream
2295s there's one really nice thing with
2296s Discord Auto puts you in streamer mode
2299s as soon as OBS opens
2305s I am gonna break my streak this week
2307s and actually have something to share
2308s finally
2313s uh will there be more ways to interact
2315s with your minions beside the attack move
2317s command like group dogs dances for
2318s example we've we've toyed around with
2320s the idea of stances for quite a while
2321s now
2323s um it's one of those things that we keep
2324s saying like yeah we should probably do
2326s that and like how do we how do we make
2328s it play nicely like how's that that
2330s interface look nicely and all that sort
2332s of stuff
2333s um
2334s and we haven't quite got it to where we
2336s want it to be before actually like
2337s implementing that
2339s um
2341s I think that there's a good chance
2343s you'll see something like that in uh
2346s with within a half dozen patches of 1.0
2349s type thing I I just don't know when but
2351s like I'd be surprised if that never
2352s makes it in type thing
2359s hurt
2363s that was the wrong implication Mike
2369s that's where the skill comes in in
2370s playing this class
2372s oh well uh more was interacting yeah
2376s like with with minions I there's also
2378s um
2378s but there's other ways to interact with
2379s meetings too like with sacrifice as an
2382s ability that's a way to interact with
2383s minions you know
2385s um
2385s so so we do try and build in skill
2388s interactions with them as well
2390s um
2397s there's there's sort of like a limit to
2399s the amount of control we want to give to
2401s uh minion builds
2403s uh like to control over the minions
2405s themselves because at some point like
2407s when there's when there's enough control
2408s enough manual control over a minions
2412s um actions in in combat in the field it
2415s almost feels more like you're playing
2417s um
2419s like a party instead of
2422s um
2423s a a character that has minions type
2425s thing you know
2426s um and and setting a
2429s a stance of like offensive defensive
2432s whole ground you know the basic stances
2436s um
2437s you know doing doing anything more than
2440s that that's kind of like the limit I
2441s would say probably
2443s um
2445s because you start getting into I think
2447s the next step from that is you start
2448s looking at
2449s and like delaying in my mind before I
2451s say the answer to this because I can't
2452s remember which one it is but I want to
2454s say Final Fantasy
2457s 12
2460s he was 11.
2462s I've been 13 I don't know somewhere in
2465s that range
2466s um the Zodiac one
2470s um
2471s fantastic game but you would you would
2473s have like an AI that you would build out
2475s for your party members where you could
2476s say like okay if you're if if someone in
2478s the party is below 35 Health
2481s um use heal on them oh okay if someone
2483s if there's an enemy that is within range
2487s 10 cast Fireball on them you know you
2490s know that sort of stuff
2492s and um you know we don't we don't want
2495s to get that granular with it
2498s um
2498s the the times that we're giving you ways
2501s to control at that level of granularity
2502s is usually when we're when we're
2503s allowing you to add and remove abilities
2506s from the from the menu itself and that
2509s kind of does that automatically
2514s um but we we it's kind of a preset order
2515s that they add in
2522s last step you had a short response about
2524s new servers and old servers can you
2526s elaborate new and old yeah there's uh
2530s set of servers that we were purchasing
2532s from our purchasing from a company that
2535s hosts servers
2537s um and there's a new set of servers that
2538s we're purchasing or renting I guess not
2540s purchasing from a company that hosts
2542s servers
2543s um
2544s and we're moving from one to the other
2550s so that's kind of it I don't know what
2551s else to can I help you see there we're
2554s kind of part way through that transition
2556s right now so like
2557s um some people will end up on one and
2559s some will end up on the other
2572s partially because the reason we're doing
2573s it this way is because we know the
2574s existing ones
2576s uh are at least functional and stable
2579s um
2580s and
2581s we wanted to we want to do the
2583s switchover but if we just like turned
2585s all the old ones off and turned all the
2586s new ones on and said let's hope it just
2589s works and something goes wrong there's
2590s there's like no fallback so this way
2592s with both The Fleets running
2593s simultaneously there's
2595s um if one of them goes down it just
2597s flips to the other
2598s wholesale
2602s um
2603s so we're doing this as a just a
2605s transition period just to make sure that
2606s things stay up and running and stable
2608s because we don't want to be in a
2610s situation where everything goes down
2615s so it's a precaution
2619s it's going quite well if that makes you
2621s feel any better
2623s good day I know you are aware of
2625s multiple Trends uh traversal bugs and
2627s rubber banding but you know roots of
2630s those issues uh thing can be fixed in
2632s 1.0 I don't have any update on the
2635s status of bugs
2650s also that the first Dragon Age
2653s oh yeah yeah yeah yeah the the like AI
2656s stuff yeah exactly the same as that
2657s totally forgot about that
2659s good game really good game
2665s it was 12 okay 12 yeah
2668s instead of fully automated XP farm yeah
2670s that was I do I really like that game
2672s it's been awesome to play that
2675s um so you will split the server or get
2677s more server
2681s please rephrase your question
2683s I don't understand it well every
2685s matchmaking
2686s um so you'll you'll sometimes I just
2688s want to close it because you'll
2689s frequently hear us reference our
2690s matchmaking servers
2692s um
2693s because our matchmaking server is the
2694s term we use for the server that figures
2697s out where you should be what what server
2700s you should be joining with regards to
2702s the party you're in and putting you in
2704s the right server instead or or spitting
2706s up a new server if there is no right
2707s server existing at the time for what
2709s content you're trying to do so
2711s um if you hear us talking about our
2712s matchmaking servers that's what we're
2714s talking about
2715s um
2717s as far as matchmaking that you're
2718s probably talking about which is
2720s um
2721s join into an automated multiplayer party
2724s Creator type system
2727s um we do we do want to add more ways for
2729s people to play multiplayer with each
2731s other and more social features for
2732s getting connected with people
2733s automatically if you don't like sit down
2735s and play with some but you still want to
2736s play with someone
2737s um we don't have that planned to be
2740s available at one point
2747s if there wasn't this painful problem
2749s with
2751s um
2753s the uh
2755s Zone transitions it might have been
2757s gotten in 1.0
2762s we're just doing this because we need
2763s that boss steeps
2784s oh Mike hands on the keyboard come on
2786s what do you what are you doing
2793s um will there be any improvements on
2795s scaling any of the less noteworthy
2797s implications
2799s um I I don't really have any details on
2801s upcoming balance changes right now but
2803s yeah well we will adjust the power
2805s levels of and balance things definitely
2809s um specifically in Rune communication or
2811s or which which runes or indications or
2814s combinations or whatever are are
2816s targeted I I have no info I'm sorry
2831s foreign
2851s oh Mike you're doing a stream you should
2853s be talking instead of just staring at
2855s the game you're playing uh hello
2857s everybody
2859s uh you found
2863s uh Criterion to be fun I'm not too sure
2865s about the Attunement requirement any
2867s thoughts
2869s not off top my head
2875s I'll check though
2878s let me let me let me let me bring bring
2880s that see what we're talking about here
2900s I returned a specific node here
2907s did I just don't know the name of
2913s or is there a typo there
2932s the armor
2935s I gotcha I got you sorry about that
2949s um so the yeah okay this this one is
2954s um like it's it's it's all of the things
2956s that you shouldn't be stacking right
2958s like like you're not you generally don't
2960s stack strength you don't stack decks you
2962s don't stack at two minutes all those
2963s things
2964s um it's one for each so it's like can
2966s you find a weird way to use this we we
2968s sometimes put items in the game that we
2971s are
2973s we're kind of
2975s daring someone to to do something weird
2977s with that makes any sense
2981s it's not really a dare but it's just
2982s like uh
2984s um an offbeat tool something that we
2987s know is not standard and might seem kind
2989s of weird at first glance but someone
2991s might find a way to break it
2993s um I just I don't think there's like a
2994s specific build in mind with this item
2997s um maybe there was but uh I don't see it
3000s obviously it'll stop my head
3002s um I think I think it's more focused
3004s around trying to give people tools to do
3006s things that are maybe a little bit more
3009s interesting
3013s laughs
3023s what brings you here sure
3028s well
3033s with the passive look at her
3038s um
3055s bruh
3059s we need to bump up the Mana cost on it
3061s to really get full value which is fine
3064s we could start peeking our heads in in
3066s here
3068s we're just going so much fire damage
3070s right like why not
3074s yeah let's start just going ants and and
3075s getting some some spell crit
3080s right
3100s more questions this is what happens when
3102s I turn chat off or at least look away
3104s from it to another screen
3111s uh are you worried about service
3112s stability once the game goes 1.0 seeing
3114s the game we'll see a massive surge in
3116s players
3117s um we've always had
3120s um
3121s uh we we've always maintained an excess
3124s of servers
3126s um
3127s available so I'm I'm I'm and like we we
3131s definitely plan for
3134s and and hope for way more way more
3136s people than we can handle because we we
3138s definitely designed it to handle a lot
3140s and
3141s um
3146s if we if we break the quantity we've
3148s decided for
3150s things will be going real well
3155s really well
3175s let's get her done
3180s but but no I I made you not there
3184s anymore
3206s come on
3208s no I ever saw it
3210s it's okay the Wall's got the Wall's got
3213s my back
3214s no big deal jumping Frost claws in a
3217s good spot or too strong right now with
3219s all it provides I mean I think that it's
3222s common for new skills to feel quite
3225s powerful and it might be a little too
3227s strong I'm not sure
3228s um I think it's a little a little
3229s premature to make uh uh sweeping
3231s statements on it but I would um
3236s I mean I'd be surprised if any skill
3237s doesn't get a balance past the patch
3240s after it comes out you know
3244s uh next to me and ask them
3247s what fresh hell is this
3249s yes ah almost there
3253s all right you win this time 12 gold
3255s sitting slightly off to the corner
3259s you win
3265s what am I doing what am I going
3268s it's just just just take me back
3272s last question tonight I swear but I want
3275s more uh where's this any plans for
3278s cosmetic rewards reaching seasonal goals
3280s from 1.0 forward
3282s um probably not specifically 1.0
3289s um but yeah that's the sort of thing we
3290s are looking to include
3293s um
3296s we are adding in a system for for doing
3299s things like that so like that's
3301s something
3302s supposed to be assessing what's left to
3304s be done on it tonight actually
3306s something that I worked on back in
3307s January
3309s they got pushed
3315s uh may have already been answered that's
3317s totally fine
3320s let's find where we're going
3322s uh or it's already in game but will
3324s there be transmog option for gear um we
3327s don't have I think this one's in the FAQ
3328s we don't have anything specific that
3330s we're ready to share and what that will
3332s look like eventually
3334s um we do want there to be something in
3335s the game that does give players the
3337s ability to change gear into other gear
3339s visually speaking
3343s um
3344s given with how the animation system
3347s works
3348s uh it's almost certainly going to need
3352s to be the same item type because
3354s technically this does already exist
3355s there's constellation weapons in the in
3357s the store
3359s um or that were
3362s uh I don't know if it's just colleagues
3365s I don't have the right weapon equipped
3366s possibly
3369s uh
3371s no I just don't have it unlocked on this
3372s account that's fine
3374s what was it I don't think this one
3378s um
3379s yeah it'll have to be the same weapon
3380s type so like you wouldn't be able to
3382s transmog a sword onto a spear
3384s type thing
3391s um and you probably also uh until you
3394s have the
3396s um armor system improves uh it would
3399s also be would also likely be that you
3401s would not be able to transmog I actually
3404s know this it wouldn't it would not be
3405s possible to transmog like for example
3406s this
3408s um unique acolyte body armor it doesn't
3410s matter That's Unique we just selected
3412s it's an acolyte body armor onto this
3415s Mage body armor or vice versa like they
3417s those would not be compatible for Trans
3419s blogging with each other
3425s thank you
3441s foreign
3447s enemies around
3452s uh no no the item fundam yeah yeah sorry
3455s I got there I got there
3460s any plans for white 1.0 there will be a
3463s um
3466s uh there will be a new cycle starting
3468s with a new ladder so if you want to
3469s compete on the ladder you will have to
3471s start a new character existing
3473s characters when we moved into a legacy
3475s um if you play Poe this is standard if
3477s you play D2 this is non-letter
3479s um
3481s and
3482s um
3483s yeah the the all the things you expect
3486s to go with Echo with that
3497s you'll break the game on stream awesome
3499s looking forward to it
3506s My Level bar at level 100 is almost full
3509s out of any plans for some system after
3511s reaching past level 100 or is that bar
3513s just feeling as just the t's uh there's
3515s there's nothing there sorry
3517s and maybe we'll do something after I
3519s think that like there's kind of a cool
3520s thing there like I don't know some
3522s achievement where it's like fill your
3523s level fill your experience bar after
3524s hitting 100 or something I don't know
3543s so that that Coral wand base I'm not a
3546s huge fan of
3551s uh sorry someone already has this
3554s I think you just say that for the memes
3556s now
3559s but were there any specific Sentinel
3561s build skills intended for the new uh
3563s Meritage two-handed sword I I don't
3566s um I don't know I I wasn't involved with
3568s the dominant that item so I don't know
3569s for certain
3570s um the reason I said that for the other
3571s one was because just looking at it you
3573s can kind of get the feel that was the
3574s the idea that it was built around uh the
3577s item itself not the build but it would
3579s go into
3582s um
3583s foreign
3592s as far as uh that sword I I doubt it was
3596s a specific like
3598s um I think it was more of a mechanics
3599s first uh type thing like hey this is a
3602s cool thing we can do let's make an item
3604s to fit this thing I think that's
3605s probably how it came about
3607s likely
3610s that's actually a sweet Idol not for us
3612s but
3618s pick it up it's probably later maybe
3625s um items that are built with specific
3627s build items that are unique items that
3629s are created with a specific build in
3630s mind are usually really easy to tell
3633s because it'll be something like
3635s um
3637s whenever you cast lightning Blast Your
3640s Fireball gets something and whenever you
3642s cast Fireball your lightning blast gets
3644s something you'll be like okay this is
3645s clearly designed around a build that's
3646s gonna be alternating firewall mining
3648s blast you know like it's it's really
3651s obvious
3653s so usually there's that or like the like
3656s this for example like it's clearly
3657s around a low life build like that's it's
3660s it's it's it's such a such a strong
3663s indicator on that item
3665s um but but you look at something like
3666s like Everest here and it's just like
3668s it's the key thing is Elemental damage
3670s leeches health and that can be for any
3672s type of build that's using Elemental
3674s damage really
3675s um that needs some bleach you know so
3677s it's less about a specific build more
3678s about a mechanic though
3682s oh
3689s that was depressing uh rm1
3693s for healthpot and you know we're far
3695s enough in and I just died for like the
3696s 80 billionth time let's put something up
3698s on stream
3704s here's a little little clippy of uh
3707s other upcoming
3709s thing
3713s whatever that means
3719s will there be separate ladders for ssf
3722s ETC uh yes I don't know if they'll both
3725s be ready at one point or not
3730s should be I don't see why they wouldn't
3731s be
3738s yeah yes there is ssf ladders Eagle you
3742s can't see this because there's stuff
3742s behind it but yes I'm looking at the ssf
3744s ladder right now
3749s uh sir comments about the Forgotten
3752s Knight being the original Sentinel model
3754s it's actually original Knight model not
3756s the Sun not before but the character was
3757s a night now that Sentinel
3759s um with that in mind do you have any
3760s plans for further character creation
3763s options
3765s um
3765s those gigantic threads about this on the
3768s forums if you want to read in detail
3770s um the the short version is yes
3773s um eventually at some point down the
3775s road it'll happen at some point
3777s eventually you know
3780s um
3782s but uh nothing nothing that's like
3788s um
3789s I I don't I like timeline wise I don't
3791s need your hopes up
3793s at all
3796s foreign
3800s lots of Rogue uh special affixes that
3803s we've been finding
3808s which death was the inspiration for that
3809s model ah Savage
3812s no one
3814s uh is that the emperor from Dune no
3823s oh my goodness
3829s is my fire I'm gonna open this I'm gonna
3831s buy karat sheet my fire resist below
3833s like 100 I can be shocked but
3835s yeah that's that's what's happening
3838s we have like no resistances at all
3841s well yeah it's far let's just go right
3844s what's the worst thing gonna happen go
3845s on
3857s I just have a belly button if so targets
3860s is the target centered around it
3872s yes
3877s I'm gonna go with yes
3888s you may hear some buzzing in the
3890s background
3892s someone is sending
3895s my house right now
3903s poison
3913s is most of the 3D modeling double
3914s blender I believe so
3917s um
3919s I'm not sure the entire
3922s flow for 3D stuff but I hear the term
3925s blender a lot
3932s okay
3945s thank you
3949s somehow closing the window did literally
3951s nothing
3952s to dampen that sound
3955s I don't understand
3962s the new flying bottle buzzes no
3966s any plans for cursor option in game I
3968s know this is gonna sound ridiculous
3969s because it's like obviously it's just
3971s like slap a different spread on there
3973s right like that's the easiest thing ever
3974s to change
3976s um weirdly it's a pain to change
3979s like a really big pain to change
3983s um
3984s uh we we don't actually have any plans
3986s for it right now because of how
3988s difficult it is to change
3992s um
3995s but having said that I think it is
3997s something that a lot of people would
3998s appreciate and eventually I'd I'd be
4001s surprised if we if we give up on it
4002s completely you know
4013s all right looking for any more testers I
4014s mean there's
4015s um
4016s uh there are I don't know because they
4019s answer that but there are I I would
4021s assume so there are uh job postings on
4025s our careers page 11th Hour games
4027s eleventh hour doc games careers I
4029s believe or just Google it it's what I do
4032s uh and
4037s uh yeah if there's a posting there that
4040s matches something that you are
4041s interested in please apply for it if
4044s there's not a posting for something
4045s there that matches something you're
4046s interested in but you still really feel
4047s like you'd be awesome
4049s send us an email with what you want to
4052s do and why you'd be awesome
4063s and don't be afraid to brag about that
4065s time you found three sodges in a weekend
4066s and
4071s pushed
4073s pushed 100 in the first two weeks of the
4076s D2 ladder and
4078s you know the that one ladder that you
4081s that you rolled eight griefs on
4084s or screenshot of your first breath of
4086s the line you know you know all those
4087s things are are probably
4089s probably pointless definitely shouldn't
4091s include them
4095s it's the opposite of that
4113s uh
4115s to follow up
4117s to the teased model any tentacle related
4120s skills for a warlock
4132s no
4137s no
4155s the Warlock is not communing with
4157s Cthulhu that's what you're uh
4159s getting on
4168s how was your Friday going my Friday's
4170s going pretty good
4172s day lots of work to do
4176s on the game and on other stuff too
4179s just lots of work to do
4183s I've been uh
4187s been working on some new magic decks
4202s I've been trying to find an azorious
4204s deck for a while
4207s just they just keep with him
4211s we've got two two that I'm looking at
4213s right now
4214s the the new because because uh Disney
4219s decided to release
4221s um
4222s their their card game that I can't
4223s remember the name of
4225s um Wizards has realized that there will
4228s never be a frozen crossover for wizards
4231s or for magic so they released their own
4233s ice queen
4234s so I think's pretty sweet
4239s it's kind of what I'm looking at right
4241s now for my
4242s azorious Commander
4250s boom boom that's what my favorite combos
4253s to do is just like just just Channel
4255s flame Rush all the way in let it build
4258s up get to three
4260s didn't work that time and then just pop
4261s a fireball and just do giant explosions
4263s love it
4267s this is probably a personal item I think
4273s no
4275s interesting surprising
4289s if magic and Gauntlet were inspiration
4290s for remaster any information on
4291s Inspirations for a warlock and Falconer
4294s um I mean
4296s I I don't have any mechanical
4299s Inspirations that I can talk about that
4301s will help uh Enlighten you as to what
4305s skills might be included in the Warlock
4306s and how it might actively play so I so
4309s no it's if that's if that's what you're
4310s looking for no
4312s um thank you given the references I I'd
4314s say it probably is what you're looking
4316s for however I the one thematic
4319s Touchstone reference that I have
4320s mentioned uh in the past and we'll
4323s mention again right now is uh Jafar
4328s from um
4332s that was sort of the the character we
4335s were most looking at when we were
4337s talking about the theming and the
4338s feeling of of the Warlock itself sort of
4341s this like evil sorcerer type character
4344s um
4346s and just to be clear this has nothing to
4348s do with the abilities that Jafar has so
4350s do not go look up what he does because I
4352s don't even know what he does
4354s it's a lie I know exactly what he does
4355s but it has nothing to do with that
4364s I definitely have no possible way of
4367s reciting any songs from Aladdin right
4369s now off the top of my head
4371s couldn't do it couldn't do it
4377s uh random question from Gamescom
4380s Gamescom is awesome what was the name of
4382s your Charming PR
4385s HR
4388s p r h r b i lady from New York
4398s um
4401s possibly is who you're talking about but
4403s I don't know
4407s I don't know I don't know where they're
4409s from
4422s as far as I know only if it's one of
4424s those categories
4446s what's your view on passives and skills
4449s that give percent reduced damage taken
4451s those feel really mandatory if you can
4453s fit them in and also create unbalance
4454s between Class builds well
4457s um
4459s I mean I think that nodes that uh are
4463s are like if they're feeling possibly
4465s mandatory they might be too strong but
4467s thematically I think they're probably
4469s really good to have
4472s um if they're putting pressure on your
4475s uh point allocations from from a
4477s standpoint of like I want to work this
4479s into my build
4480s um especially something that's defensive
4483s um is is a big win for us getting
4485s getting people to take notes on any
4488s skill tree that are not just pure
4490s offensive nodes is really tough
4493s um
4494s you kind of have to make the defensive
4496s or utility nodes very powerful
4498s um or just not have any offensive notes
4501s or not enough offensive notes which is
4503s kind of lame
4505s um
4509s we we try and give every class different
4511s tools for uh defensive options and so
4515s not all of them are just flat damage
4517s reduction or percent damage reduction uh
4519s nodes usually we try to
4522s um
4523s well hey we try to make them uh less
4525s damage they cannot reduce damage taking
4527s usually because reduced damage taking is
4528s additive with itself or with other
4530s sources of reduced damage taken and can
4532s easily end up with
4533s um
4536s uh well they have increasing returns
4538s basically
4544s because like if you have
4547s um say you have just zero percent
4549s reduced damage taken and then you get
4550s five percent reduced damage taken
4552s you take five percent less damage
4555s um but so you have uh 90 less damage
4557s taken or reduced damage taken sorry and
4560s then you get five percent reduced damage
4562s taken
4563s um because you're only at 10 of the
4565s damage taken remaining and you take away
4567s five of that it and because it's
4569s additive you end up actually reducing
4571s the damage you're taking by half so they
4573s have increasing returns as you go as you
4575s add on more of it so you're usually
4576s trying to do less instead of reduced
4579s um for for especially just like little
4581s things here and there just because that
4583s way they are
4584s um
4586s not more mandatory than more of them you
4588s take
4591s doesn't always happen but usually that's
4593s if you if you see less instead of
4594s reduced that's why
4602s it's exalted so I'll pick it up but yeah
4605s yeah yeah
4613s super super pumped about these drops can
4616s you tell
4626s parent companion confirmed
4629s no the Warlock does not have a parent
4631s companion
4638s but something interesting that I learned
4640s yesterday
4642s um
4643s parrots are apparently quite closely
4645s related to Falcons
4654s which I thought was interesting
4660s uh the previous topless warlock
4663s um
4664s could curse with the best of them
4667s how will
4669s streamers not be demonetized playing it
4673s if that's the case
4676s I I was really I'm like there's no way
4678s I'm reading this correctly I'm really
4680s describing okay cool yeah
4682s um
4683s I mean I we we've got us like you may
4686s notice that there's a streamer mode
4687s setting here
4689s right there
4691s um that that sensors all of the curses
4693s that the Warlock does it does have the
4696s unfortunate side effect of having all
4698s your damage but you know you won't get
4699s demonetized so there you go
4705s all of that was a lie for the record
4709s other than the existence of streamer
4710s mode
4714s but it doesn't do that
4718s felt it felt it coming
4722s uh any chance uh to get a native Vulcan
4726s build for Linux running with Force
4728s falcon translates to open GL shaders
4729s with two Vulcan uh which I think is
4731s causing issues also Unity steps that
4733s opengl is slowly deprecated uh in unity
4735s except for Android and recommends
4737s switching to Vulcan that does apply
4739s specifically to new builds of unity
4742s um and not all builds at Unity because
4744s they can't update old builds of unity
4747s uh without us updating our bill of unity
4752s um
4754s I I would say that's something that
4756s someone with more knowledge of those
4759s things than I is likely working on
4775s should you go that way I don't know
4781s yeah I think we want that though
4788s yeah the one with purple hair yeah
4792s apologize apologies it's been asked for
4796s just just for the record everybody
4798s that's cool just so everybody you do not
4801s need to apologize for asking something
4802s that's been asked before
4804s uh feel free to ask away you don't need
4807s to apologize for it
4808s uh are there plans for campaign skips
4811s for alts with possible leveling models
4813s that give Idols lots and passes as at
4816s set levels we do not have plans to
4818s implement that feature as you've written
4820s it no
4826s uh will the game increase in price in
4828s the future release maybe we don't have
4830s plans for it I don't want to say no just
4832s in case it happens but
4834s um
4836s all things being equal right now we have
4837s no plans to change the price
4864s I want one that's stacked
4869s uh all right new class confirmed parrots
4873s here
4874s yeah there you go
4877s sounds awesome
4880s it's actually one of the Barb subclasses
4882s it's it's a it's a barred Rogue
4884s crossover subclass
4886s so you can you can access it from either
4887s base no I'm just kidding
4896s okay here this is gonna be tricky
4898s maybe not
4903s just gonna have like a little bit of a
4905s stutter step when facing these guys so
4906s that like when they inevitably shoot a
4908s giant meteor at your feet you've already
4910s walked away
4919s my fireball's bigger
4933s ding there it is ding there it is
4942s well on top of Hey try not to fall off
4946s all the way I love the sequence love
4948s this sequence
4950s should take care of the rest for us
4953s yes get on the giant bird
4957s I've named this bird chopper by the way
4962s get ready for a fight
4983s nailed it
4989s come on to something
5023s all right that one's surprisingly well
5026s right
5029s if you get to the Java not on it
5033s duh ruins
5040s yeah Pro tip here entering a chopper
5043s from above it's gonna have a bad time
5052s if your pizza when you're supposed to
5055s french fry you're gonna have a bad time
5062s concerns
5078s I need to turn this pet off
5081s I keep thinking it's an enemy
5094s I just don't play with it on our play
5095s Just builds
5096s so I'm not used to it that's all oh come
5099s on
5106s here we go
5110s Lucy's a Taskmaster started
5114s oh great start to the series
5121s we were really late on watching
5123s Taskmaster NZ
5125s so we like just finished watching the
5127s like the final episode
5129s series and then this the real like real
5132s uh testoster UK started again and we're
5135s like
5136s just just rolling from one to the next
5137s it's been great
5142s ow my face
5149s but I liked that
5167s I do really like having the frost wall
5169s especially because the synergies that it
5170s has with other skills in the remastered
5172s but like part of me is kind of thinking
5174s that like Snap freeze might be better in
5176s the slot just from uh like
5180s I would say mana and cooldown standpoint
5182s but then am I just an idiot and it's
5184s basically the same
5186s listen's free because it's been a while
5188s since I've used it it has no cooldown so
5190s maybe that's just a bad idea Mike
5213s if you do have any more questions for me
5215s I'd be happy to answer them
5218s if I just been really bad with question
5220s answering today
5221s scared everybody off
5225s should have told everyone they didn't
5226s have to ask if it had been asked before
5237s oh that's a lot of damage
5247s I just I love every time I miss
5249s completely with Fireball but because the
5251s explosion is just so huge that it just
5254s it just handles it anyways
5258s it's just like all right I'm gonna get
5259s this Tower
5261s whoops I got it anyways
5264s let's just imagine like the clumsiest
5266s Mage ever
5275s I am not a man of many pockets I'm not a
5279s man of many pockets
5281s gotta love it
5289s where are we going up and around
5308s this used to be a helicopter I just saw
5311s the CC helicopter mechanic and had to
5313s sign in your office instead to avoid
5314s injury to not stand on top of rotor head
5316s when blades are spinning
5321s I'll take Captain Obvious for 300.
5331s oh my goodness
5340s just getting hammered
5357s oh do you think do you have progression
5360s in the game currently do you think gear
5363s progression in the game currently is too
5365s fast
5366s um
5368s I I I think that there are points that
5371s it's too fast and points that it's too
5372s slow
5373s uh it might be just me but I hit a point
5376s where I just hunt for perfect base
5377s exalts with like three mods which
5378s happens quite rare there isn't a ladder
5381s of gear progression like Peewee for
5382s example yeah I think that that's a good
5385s um
5386s description of most situations
5391s I think it kind of makes sense that
5392s there's
5393s um
5394s like as your gear gets better there's
5396s less room for improvement on it usually
5398s you have smaller gaps between it right
5402s um so it can be tricky to find upgrades
5405s and and then I think the
5408s because the at least base crafting
5410s system is so strong
5413s um
5414s you can sometimes end up with with like
5417s 80 gear a lot faster than 80 of the way
5421s through the grind
5423s um
5425s and then on top of that there are
5427s items that exist and this is this is
5429s still something that I don't understand
5430s fully and I don't know if I ever will
5432s because it's just it's such a foreign
5434s concept to my brain that I don't
5438s process it right I just don't know what
5441s to do about it
5442s um it's like the existence of items that
5445s are
5446s technically possible but practically
5449s impossible
5451s um
5452s breaking the like the the distance of
5454s that curve
5457s let's let's draw on the screen a little
5458s bit here
5461s that's what I'm talking about so you
5463s have
5464s um
5465s so like this is your
5469s uh time playing the game
5473s and your gear your gear gets your gear
5475s gets uh like starts up pretty slow and
5478s then then you start getting to crafting
5480s and like I can see this is
5481s uh
5484s power oh this is time
5488s and
5489s um
5490s so yeah you you your gear progresses
5492s it's it starts to progress faster and
5495s faster and I've screwed myself with the
5496s space in this graph but whatever
5498s um
5502s it goes it gets a little faster a little
5504s faster a little faster and then it kind
5505s of plateaus here
5507s um
5508s and this is that like that 80 quality
5511s gear from what we're expecting people to
5513s have at like super in game stuff
5516s um and and then you you kind of you you
5519s still slowly get upgrades but it's
5521s really not much by comparison of what
5523s you were getting before as far as like
5526s upgrades over time and I I think what
5529s part of the problem is is that there's
5532s this
5533s um there's this there's this gap of gear
5538s in in here where this is like the
5541s um like the
5543s the the the like four by t7 gear that
5548s like doesn't exist you know this is this
5550s is the the pieces of gear that are just
5553s so unbelievably rare that for all
5555s intents and purposes might as well not
5557s exist and
5559s um
5560s I don't know what it is but like the
5561s existence of this gear just even just
5563s being possible in some database that you
5565s can look up is
5568s um makes the gear that you have even
5570s even if like this is the Practical Peak
5572s for your gear it makes all of the gear
5575s that's that's below this line
5578s let's change the color line a little bit
5579s here
5581s it makes all the all of the gear that's
5583s below like below this line here where
5586s everyone's seeing is like their
5586s potential cap and they're like okay well
5589s like I got
5590s through the first half of the year but
5592s like how do I get into this like
5593s mythical top half of the gear
5596s and this mythical top half of the gear
5599s doesn't really exist
5601s um but the fact that
5603s technically exists I think it makes it
5605s tough for a lot of people to to enjoy
5607s getting to this point
5610s so I I don't know the way to fix that
5613s um
5614s and I don't know if I don't know I don't
5616s know if this assessment of what's going
5617s on is even remotely accurate either
5620s this is me making wild assumptions
5634s why can you take the fire conversion and
5636s broken glass in the frost claw if the
5639s glass is hot
5641s it will mend again
5645s what
5651s oh look at the nodes just a sec
5665s uh glass
5669s volley of glass
5693s why can you take the fire conversion and
5695s broken glass in Frost claw if the glass
5697s is hot it will mend again
5699s I think you're talking about this it's
5701s only glass in here
5712s this might be a translation thing
5722s sorry I'm not sure
5726s and just heating up glass doesn't
5729s straight up just fix it
5745s all righty then anything special down
5748s here
5750s it's a dudes that need fireballing
5753s that's what I see down there
5757s more questions all right more questions
5760s you heard the man Mike
5768s uh hey just wondering if your team is
5770s aware that certain nodes on the
5771s ridiculification skill tree don't work
5773s um if you have a bug report please post
5775s that on our forums or the in-game bug
5777s reporting tool Let's Escape before the
5779s bug right there
5781s um
5782s I'd be surprised if no one knows about
5784s whatever bug I'm about to read but I
5785s will not write it down so
5788s yeah uh for example two uh the two more
5792s damage nodes that give damaged for the
5793s number of types of runes do nothing
5795s what's the back part of the video okay
5797s ready
5800s uh trade will make that gear possible
5802s yeah
5805s yeah there still won't be a lot of it
5806s that exists in the world
5808s um
5812s but it will it will like if we go back
5814s and look at that image it'll raise that
5816s that red horizontal line that I put in
5817s there it'll raise that line up
5820s um which which is good but I don't think
5822s it'll take that line all the way to the
5823s top
5825s um
5826s because
5828s some some of those items that could
5830s theoretically exist but don't are
5847s I heard you the first time
5853s also a character name yeah that's right
5867s usually I name my Majors like Charles or
5869s something
5873s huh
5878s because I don't know just like look at
5879s me looks like he'd love to dance
5881s it's
5882s it's it's
5884s oh gosh
5888s oh no I died looks like we have to put
5890s up something else on screen
5893s here is
5895s some cool concept art
5902s for something who knows what it is
5908s had my first triple exalted today two
5910s sevens and a six oh wow
5914s yeah I recognize your name so I feel
5916s like you've been here for quite a while
5923s yeah that's that's a big that's a big
5925s drop
5930s Kane says I'd be surprised if a 4x27 has
5932s ever been found legitimately me too
5934s it's also not the highest tier item you
5936s can get but still it's
5938s like
5939s the chances of them dropping are just so
5942s solo but like I mean enough people start
5945s playing eventually it can happen
5950s but then it's like
5952s okay what are the odds that those
5953s affixes actually match
5956s a like cohesive build idea
5960s like
5961s what like there's so much RNG around it
5964s that even if you do get those to drop
5965s chance of it actually being good is so
5968s low
5976s I mean by ladder is I really uh I have a
5980s rare in say weapon slot and then I seek
5982s to craft really one step upper item uh
5985s not just some mods with higher tiers but
5988s like half of the affix is different and
5991s those points are plural for each slot
5994s pretty much and Ellie I just seek the
5997s same but more yeah I think I think you
6000s that one of the downsides of having a
6003s system that is so apparent this is what
6004s Colorado assemble the graph is where you
6006s can so easily dictate which affixes are
6008s on your items
6010s um it is it's fantastic as far as like
6013s getting your build set up and working
6014s and and at least starting to experiment
6016s with it and that sort of stuff
6018s um but it does
6019s it does have that effect that you're
6021s talking about for sure so you know we're
6024s we're still experimenting with with
6026s um how we can shift that curve
6029s um and there's there's secondary things
6031s that we can do to affect that as well
6034s um
6035s like for example one thing we're looking
6036s at targeting which is
6038s related to items technically they are
6040s items but we don't present them as items
6042s it's blessings and and being able to uh
6045s select previously encountered blessings
6048s at the role they were encountered at is
6050s is something that we think will um
6054s uh make make having those wholesale
6056s changes with your gear a little bit
6057s easier
6064s thanks for wasting Mike's time I don't
6066s think I'm gonna waste my time
6069s I waste my own time thank you very much
6080s oh the uh the glass thing
6084s done it's no worries
6092s oh my gosh am I just gonna die video I'm
6095s too pretty to die
6113s well I applied LOL I wish there was a
6115s music position open though well good
6117s luck
6138s let's throw out a fireball why not right
6142s uh will you guys try out Titan Quest 2
6143s when it comes out I will definitely be
6145s trying Titan Quest 2 when it comes out I
6147s know several other people that will be
6148s trying to request you when it comes out
6149s on the team as well
6150s um
6151s We're not gonna do like a group play
6153s through anything like that but yeah
6156s I'm sure there'll be a group of us that
6158s are just like hanging out and chat
6159s together playing
6162s if it's if it's like a proper
6164s multiplayer stuff which I expect it will
6166s um
6167s probably play together
6172s so there's one thing
6174s that brings together most of us on the
6176s dev team
6177s it's just that we like playing arpgs
6203s actually that's a special one I want to
6205s keep it all right let's move on
6212s I was hitting someone
6215s let's see their Shadows
6218s they're so scared
6229s deep breath boys
6233s we made it through
6244s all right that was
6247s kind of close
6252s why is the British spelling of armor in
6254s the game as opposed to armor
6257s um our uh principal designer and uh uh
6261s person two implements like half the
6263s stuff you see in the game uh that's an
6265s exaggeration but does does a ton of
6267s stuff is
6269s um somewhere that
6271s armor with the U is the uh proper
6274s spelling and um I also live somewhere
6277s where armor with you is the proper
6278s spelling
6281s um and between the two of us early on in
6283s development uh a lot of stuff got set up
6286s with
6288s um
6289s armor with a u H we have we've been
6292s trying to to to bring that to a point
6294s where it's consistent and not armored
6297s with you and I expect
6300s um
6302s I expect the um
6308s let's I hope the final version of the
6311s this this
6312s problem is is actually having a
6315s localization version for
6317s um British English and American English
6321s I love it when there's a British English
6322s version
6325s it's funny though because like
6327s um so I'm in Canada and there's we don't
6329s actually we use a different version of
6330s both of them we have like our own
6331s version of it that's it's more similar
6334s to British English but is not quite the
6336s same
6339s um so there's like there's there's a
6342s couple times where it's actually we use
6343s the American one sometimes
6351s so we're just like we can't decide we
6353s don't want to play favorites and upset
6354s mommy and daddy
6368s except you know those Awards but
6369s whatever pesky Wars
6384s I am not a man okay Mike Start dumping
6387s stuff you know it's not that great
6391s right
6394s just go back to town
6408s boom oh come on
6410s come on
6414s uh all right let's find some questions
6417s here
6420s the triple exalted t7 T6 are match wow
6424s it's a one two seven spell damage t7
6426s Knight T6 lightning damage looking for
6429s an L3 ladle
6432s it dies
6446s oh
6447s you can look for the new ladle
6449s huh
6454s I remember correctly uh Lego is red and
6458s yellow not white and blue
6464s what yes please add it in
6469s I'm sorry I don't know what we're
6471s talking about I can't remember
6473s my Goldfish Memory has defeated me again
6475s uh are you guys working on refunding
6477s multiple points per passive in the main
6480s passive tree instead of a point for
6482s Point uh we do have a system for that
6484s that is in the works
6487s um that'll just reset the whole thing
6489s wholesale
6495s which I know we've said and then walked
6497s back before
6498s and we're saying again
6500s so I know it might be hard to to believe
6503s that it's actually gonna happen
6506s but last time it was said was without
6508s principal designer approval this time
6510s it's being said with principal designer
6511s approval so
6515s this time it's real
6517s any future plans for items that Grant
6519s active skills on the skill bar
6522s um we don't have any specific plans for
6524s this but we did recently uh figure out a
6527s way to make it possible so
6530s um while nothing's like
6532s actively being designed or worked on for
6534s this
6535s um it is as a very recently possible
6539s so maybe
6543s a few months ago I would have just said
6544s no we don't know how to do it
6560s oh that's a meaty boy
6569s pyromancers wand you know great then
6572s static and sleet and you're like um
6580s to really be on the lookout for better
6582s chess piece I'm just like ignoring all
6583s of them
6588s it's still level 26.
6591s 23 30 23 20.
6596s like you're such trash that's why I'm
6599s struggling so hard oh my God that's
6602s funny
6604s peace
6608s this is a problem I don't pay enough
6610s attention to my actual gear when I'm
6611s streaming I just like I just go and I
6613s was like oh I'll come out and see what
6614s happens
6623s give me that good for chaos
6627s I want it
6634s okay I think before we attempt the boss
6639s we go and we
6645s uh check out some gear options
6651s for you I think that's
6655s man I know
6663s oh we know that is actually we just
6665s owned a shot of that
6668s oh I need to work yeah why not to send
6671s it see what happens
6677s uh you're not using the Dominion at all
6681s Europe
6690s with regards to forge guards
6694s as far as you know do the forged weapons
6696s summon with Ford strike always copy the
6699s equipped weapon stats even though if
6701s it's a unique or set item there are
6702s certain stats that cannot be copied for
6705s minions
6706s um and it follows the same rule as
6708s Manifest armor
6714s so yes but certain stats are impossible
6717s to copy
6720s most of the ones that are more
6722s complicated are impossible to copy
6727s so some of these some things that are
6729s like whenever you cast this do that
6731s or um you know like like triggered
6734s abilities and things like that generally
6735s won't work
6737s um
6754s please don't die
6763s I can I can
6782s got him
6783s no problem
6801s oops oops oops
6805s okay so I think we go back here
6809s yeah I love that thing so cool
6820s um
6826s the stats on mirror phage if they're
6828s stats they go like like the
6831s the stats or stats and the stats get
6832s copied
6833s um it's just that some of the stats
6834s don't work so like if
6837s um
6838s if Mary phase
6841s um
6842s copied a stat that was an incompatible
6844s stat that stat wouldn't work
6847s um
6848s but every
6849s compatible stat will work from it
6865s but it's just some incidental damage
6872s toughness
6876s I want one of these actually
6882s Mana kind of useless
6885s oy Bay
6889s I cannot do that I still try and do
6892s movement abilities in town
6902s decent
6906s the kittens needs yet
6909s those
6913s I mean that's nice it does have the fire
6915s and the elemental on it but like this
6917s has
6919s a lot of damage
6927s I'm gonna drop on the ground
6933s it smells adaptive
6936s you don't care about the poison or the
6937s shock so it's kind of six to one
6941s half dozen the other so whichever base
6942s that's got really good stats on it
6948s except all these away for now
6957s is there a way we can I know this is
6958s really like the base we're looking for
6961s like
6970s no it's not gonna go well
6974s not going to go well okay do we have
6976s anything in here that's just like
6977s obviously a big upgrade
6979s uh
7000s um not bad
7005s could get lucky with the forging pencil
7006s on that one
7009s that might be worth uh craft
7022s because I don't think we're gonna get
7023s there otherwise
7036s there's a ladle
7053s yeah there's not a lot here that's
7055s actually any good I mean woven flashes
7058s is good just for just straight defense
7060s right
7061s got the crit avoidance maybe I just do
7062s that maybe just slap that on there
7072s or I try and craft this
7076s look at shock with lightning decks uh
7079s instantly ruined
7084s okay we're gonna go we're gonna fight
7085s this boss real soon here I just uh I
7087s don't want to just insta die
7090s that's not something I'm currently
7092s interested in
7099s might be worthwhile
7110s let's pop that on
7115s oh just a big Health one there we go
7119s armor fire I'll go with that
7122s let's do this
7132s that is nice armor health
7136s 100 might be better actually if it's a
7139s little
7142s we're gonna go do this any second here
7146s I mean do we try and go into fire or
7148s stuff and we do have channeling stuff
7157s I hear those boots remember those those
7159s are decent
7163s we just go like this
7169s okay let's see if we can craft something
7170s on these can we can we shift these
7172s nicely
7173s damage for a time we're not really doing
7175s that intelligence beautiful physical
7176s damage alley damage over time
7179s better than nothing let's see what we
7181s can discover Dodge no
7184s social no we're too low
7188s um
7199s it's probably better there
7209s okay this is sweet but it's just the
7211s leech stuff I don't think that's
7212s actually helping us that much I think
7214s we're better off to try and uh craft
7217s this into something nice
7220s fire damage oh that's what we want
7225s oh just got ruined on the forge mental
7228s rolls probably a couple back but I still
7230s think that's better
7246s Pirates okay we're gonna do this boss
7252s right
7255s we just need some Firebirds somewhere
7257s oh we have lots okay
7262s let's go we're gonna try this
7264s word for time oh we're over time
7267s don't care we're doing the bus
7275s uh more questions that's what I missed
7280s uh after being away from Italy for 18
7281s months it's nice to see some things
7283s haven't changed your stash is still a
7285s mess always I promise that my stash will
7288s always be a mess
7296s don't die that's bad for your help
7297s what's the definition of a global stat
7300s do Global stats apply to means or no no
7309s so maidens have died so you could live
7313s now feel the unending abyss of their
7316s despair
7317s what are you doing such betrayal
7322s why don't you show our guests the
7325s torment that now fills you but we could
7328s have been cool
7329s we could have gone for a beer
7332s or a tea
7337s get out of my mind
7345s gotta get out of this place something
7349s and something okay we're gonna try this
7351s one try if I fail I fail we'll try next
7353s time
7358s into overtime
7361s next goal wins
7374s oh
7376s it took me for a ride
7414s I am having Mana problems all of a
7416s sudden did I take off something that's
7417s giving me a ton of Mana am I just a
7419s complete idiot and missed that
7427s yeah my man is way lower
7433s is
7435s it what do the ability I'm trying to
7437s cast please
7453s damage on it was just so high
7470s you don't see a beer drop this fight
7472s unlikely
7474s I don't think it'll be the first time
7475s we've had a drop in this fight though
7484s yeah I believe you
7494s oh no
7502s there's a waste of a meteor swarm
7512s foreign
7519s almost dead
7521s almost there this is the end of the
7523s fight we're almost we're almost there
7525s definitely got nothing else coming
7536s almost there should have calling to be
7538s over even sooner
7541s excuse me there's no phase two
7544s easy clap there we go done no problem
7549s oh God she just she just pulled herself
7552s out of herself what is what is going on
7555s oh God ah
7573s foreign
7577s we'll get out of the way
7580s flame Rush coming in clutch there oh
7582s bloodshield back
7595s oh
7614s okay
7617s this could be worse
7627s oh it's the the auto flame Ward I think
7631s is what's eating our Man of Steel
7633s because I thought I realized that last
7634s time I forgot to do anything about it
7642s good thing she can't heal one again
7652s I don't know if my damage output's
7654s actually high enough to to do this
7663s oh
7677s we need more uh Fire Res shred in this
7680s build
7682s I think that's our biggest missing piece
7685s like actually decent damage
7695s oh I killed a sworn I pressed it
7698s all right good try we are going to
7704s ah does it not reset the fight
7707s you know I said one try and I failed
