61s	month is Doctors Without Borders
67s	what
72s	I'm doing empowered monos at 85 on a
75s	very non-optimal character that I
76s	haven't played in weeks
84s	so we'll see how well this goes
92s	got some Arena stuff going today I don't
94s	think any of you tried that yet or not
95s	but
100s	pretty good it's a little buggy still
102s	we're you know rolling out as quick as
104s	we can and
105s	a lot better than it was until really
107s	really recently
110s	I am playing a rogue Marksman while
112s	playing a rogue and very intentionally
113s	with today's
115s	uh teaser
117s	we got a special one today
124s	oh
129s	little chunk there
131s	will Shaman class ever get any love
133s	absolutely
143s	it's a little tricky So like um
145s	you may have noted that there wasn't any
148s	major updates to Shaman stuff this uh
150s	this patch the the updates that need to
153s	happen for Shaman are a little more
154s	substantial
158s	um so we are we want to do them all sort
160s	of together at once and little little
161s	Band-Aids are
163s	going to be likely not as useful as we'd
166s	like them to be
184s	talking long term
186s	oh
193s	kind of garbage death is that
197s	that's fine
199s	uh it's fine
203s	the Hario has reselled for 21 months in
206s	a row
207s	wow
208s	getting close to that two-year Mark
210s	there thank you very much
212s	welcome back glad to have you
215s	a little bug there
224s	is our calcium blasting agent Cinder
227s	Strike Bow build
235s	oh there's no way we do this right
245s	he's just like all right you're fire on
247s	better fire all right
256s	oh something shift would let me go
258s	through there
267s	it
276s	was
277s	oh my goodness he's trying to go for the
280s	health Bots wasn't worth it
282s	I think we may have left more than we
284s	can shoot let's just go somewhere else
286s	let's just let's just not just die over
287s	and over again
288s	let's do some some 90s regular what do
291s	we need
293s	that one's pretty good
296s	they're called as like
298s	way over
304s	it's been a while apparently
308s	you missed two weeks in a row of
309s	streaming which was yeah it was good
311s	though
313s	a little break lots of stuff going on in
315s	and around here so it's worthwhile
319s	back to a 90.
322s	will there be some sort of some type of
324s	season or ladder in the upcoming future
326s	of the game yeah for sure
329s	both actually we'll be doing
331s	um we're calling them cycles and it'll
333s	be very similar to what you're used to
335s	with
336s	um seasonal content that you get in
338s	other arpgs
340s	um
341s	and then we'll be doing uh ladders that
343s	reset along with them
362s	it's pretty it's a pretty common staple
363s	with RPGs these days and that sort of
365s	stuff like that's
366s	I need to staple the genre at this point
378s	can we expect certain Rogue body armors
381s	being retailed a bit they look a bit too
383s	off model I mean maybe if you've got
386s	feedback or comments like that the best
387s	place to put them is in the Forum so you
389s	can actually uh collate them uh I mean
392s	everything's always being updated and
393s	made to look prettier and everything
394s	it's it's a matter of um
397s	you know picking them the where the best
398s	wins are gonna come for the least amount
400s	of time at this point for stuff that's
403s	going to get into 0.9 still we're
404s	getting pretty close to the cutoff
423s	oh gosh trying to type
429s	oh
431s	come on
433s	system commands
443s	oh my God it's not working John if you
445s	can hear me yes I am

538s	what's after reign of dragons first time
540s	you got this far
542s	um there's so the Raider Dragon splits
544s	into three possible these are all the
546s	same level
547s	um so you can do them in any order and
549s	you need to do each of them in order to
550s	unlock empowered monoliths in the center

771s	update every quarter after release we
772s	can't I'm not going to guarantee
774s	specific timelines on updates like that
777s	um but there is we are returning to a
782s	um the a much more frequent Cadence a
786s	much more regular Cadence
789s	um much more akin to what you've come to
791s	expect to us before this year uh this
794s	year happened and
795s	um we're gonna be we're gonna be back to
798s	pumping out regular updates
800s	um and you know everything's gonna be
802s	awesome again
807s	some it might not be

812s	anything like that but you know it
815s	it will be consistent frequent and
818s	awesome

839s	Playstation yet
841s	um

868s	Spike the spike the difficulty and see
870s	if uh see if Chad notices
878s	but I don't [ __ ] hear me anyways
883s	uh how's the studio morale going into
885s	point nine release and now that
886s	multiplayer is mostly implemented and
888s	more content can be worked on I mean
890s	great everyone's pumped the um like get
893s	getting into multiplayer is is such a
896s	huge milestone that we've all been
897s	working together towards for so long
900s	um that like it's
902s	the closer you get to it the better it
904s	is
908s	there's
909s	um it's like you may have just heard of
911s	my voice it's a little scary the the
912s	like oh we're less than a month away oh
914s	gosh
916s	um
917s	but you know it's it's
918s	exciting more than anything
921s	it's just really exciting
926s	just carrying me hard here I'm like pew
930s	pew he's like meteor meteor
934s	foreign
946s	and they do
963s	oh
966s	trying to reach out here I'm gonna die
969s	hey Lama how's it going
976s	the kid is back on he loves llama llama
978s	again
984s	read the story with his mama gets two
987s	kisses stuff
988s	when you read a story too many times
1011s	hello Judd didn't go with a HD tagging
1014s	game yeah he doesn't need it
1020s	we'll get out of that
1037s	I should play something beefier
1051s	what ah
1059s	too much time at work just finished
1061s	December yesterday oh no
1068s	that's not good
1078s	gotta gotta find that time to take off
1081s	and
1084s	still get through everything somehow
1092s	just a brief reminder if you got
1094s	questions please put out I see my game
1095s	in the question so I see it pop out at
1097s	me real easy
1098s	um but got one here before
1101s	probably been asked before but are we
1102s	likely to get a campaign skip at 1.0 for
1105s	us people who've already done it a
1106s	million times over well the campaign
1107s	skip system is going to continue to be
1109s	what it is now
1111s	um with the dungeons so yes and no
1114s	because you're gonna get the same one we
1116s	have now
1117s	but not a new one not not a uh D3
1121s	adventure mode
1123s	um click a button and no campaign we're
1126s	not finding that
1131s	we are planning ways to uh expand that
1135s	system because right now it's not doing
1136s	a good enough job at being that campaign
1138s	skip
1140s	um
1142s	or or a camp it's probably the wrong
1144s	word for it campaign customization I
1146s	think might be a better term so
1148s	um like a method by which you can adjust
1151s	the campaign experience to suit your
1152s	needs a little bit better
1155s	um
1156s	and so we're not done with that
1158s	but um
1161s	yeah that's that's still the same
1162s	courses and that's going to be happening
1164s	going forward
1172s	when multiplayer with multiplayer close
1174s	what are the plans for abilities that
1176s	benefit a party
1178s	um
1179s	probably just the what they are now
1183s	do they do they need to change
1184s	dramatically
1189s	um
1191s	like most Buffs
1193s	don't
1195s	um don't stack with themselves most
1196s	unique Buffs don't stack themselves to
1198s	like
1199s	um
1201s	if there's like uh two people granting
1204s	haste Buffs to the party
1206s	um haste doesn't stack so like it's it's
1209s	balanced like like you can have you can
1211s	have higher up time but you can't have
1212s	mega haste you know
1215s	um
1227s	it's funny there's the the concept of
1229s	like stacking Buffs always gets me into
1231s	like magic rules and uh there's there's
1234s	one of the ons one of the joke sets
1237s	um there was a building called last
1239s	strike which which means like your
1241s	creature does damage second afterwards
1244s	and then uh there's another ability
1246s	called First Strike which means your
1247s	creature does damage first but the way
1249s	they're worded
1250s	um
1251s	oh and uh there's also another one
1253s	called Doubles right which means you do
1254s	first and regular strike damage but if
1256s	you have double strike and last strike
1258s	you actually attack three times
1262s	yeah weird stacking Buffs
1284s	all right what art style uh do you enjoy
1288s	most on arpgs something like Torchlight
1290s	or Diablo or last Epoch or some other
1291s	game I mean I'm crazy Ultra biased my
1295s	favorite's last Epoch but it's like I
1297s	I've been here for the the creation of
1299s	this art style and everything so like
1300s	I've had input in it
1302s	um
1304s	by no means am I uh the charge on
1306s	anything but I give feedback on them as
1308s	they're coming through and things like
1309s	that and I I do like this this more
1311s	realistic-esque art style but that's not
1314s	to say you can't do others really well
1315s	too like um
1318s	like like even even I guess like extreme
1321s	differences like the um uh Minecraft
1324s	crap we can't really do adventures
1326s	heroes uh dungeons Minecraft dungeon uh
1330s	the air for the Minecraft RPG that's
1332s	extremely different like it's a it's a
1335s	very stylized version of
1339s	um of a non-realistic you know like it's
1342s	it's very out there and it works great
1345s	it works great for them so like
1348s	um
1349s	I don't know it's a like I I prefer my
1352s	favorite is an art style done well but
1354s	if I'm gonna pick a style if I was gonna
1356s	be like Mike snap your fingers and and
1358s	the art style blast Depot can be
1360s	whatever you want I wouldn't change it
1364s	oh that's actually interesting there
1370s	bow Elemental damage just love what
1372s	we're doing a man efficiency with decoy
1375s	is dunking our Mana right now
1377s	I'm gonna try to put that on somewhere
1379s	and mervin's Red Skull like
1383s	can we do
1389s	we've got like some LP uniques oh I kind
1393s	of wanna
1394s	I have a good Relic okay if I find a
1395s	good Relic we'll go do it
1409s	dependence or effect minions yep
1413s	you want to support your your friend
1414s	summon nekro oh yeah it works great
1418s	and I know there's like a little bit of
1419s	a thematic disconnect there where it's
1421s	like you know a a Holy Paladin is giving
1425s	help to Undead minions and there's sort
1426s	of like a thematic disconnect there
1428s	that's sort of that's rooted back in
1430s	things like d d
1432s	um
1433s	but having having the mechanical Synergy
1435s	work uh in in this case outweighs any
1439s	sort of thematic Oddities there and
1442s	there's oh
1444s	there is room for uh like like
1446s	distinctions on like why that makes
1448s	sense
1451s	I am not as good as you are please join
1455s	me
1464s	somebody pops right now just like blah
1468s	oh I'm going this way
1474s	with the campaign skip you guys are
1476s	going for with dungeons are you going to
1478s	stop letting people go straight to
1480s	mono's at the end of time take level
1482s	ones to get carrying the models we don't
1484s	plan to
1485s	um I guess I guess yeah there's there's
1486s	that um multiplayer skip as well
1490s	um which is just have someone rush you
1493s	right
1496s	um
1500s	in order to make the
1503s	um Quest system smooth and
1507s	um and play nice when you're um when you
1510s	when you're in a group with someone that
1511s	maybe isn't quite perfectly synced in
1513s	the campaign as you are so like hey like
1515s	everyone has played Diablo 2.
1518s	how many times
1521s	have you been in a situation where uh
1524s	you didn't get the this you didn't have
1527s	the full staff before going into the
1529s	tomb and you couldn't you couldn't walk
1531s	down but the door was opened and uh you
1534s	know you could complete the quest and
1535s	you got left behind and uh the rush went
1537s	on without you how
1539s	times has that happened to you or how
1541s	many times have you been rushing for
1542s	someone and they went oh I didn't get
1544s	the quest and you're like oh no I'm
1547s	gonna start all over again
1549s	or or or someone releases in Trav right
1552s	as you finish the kill on the council
1554s	and you just like it it just
1559s	um it's okay calm down like
1563s	um
1565s	you know you know what I mean so like we
1566s	really wanted the quest system to be
1568s	very friendly in that situation where
1570s	where um
1572s	there's there's Easy Auto catch-up
1573s	mechanics and things like that
1575s	um and in order to have that it kind of
1578s	forces a uh really easy rushing systems
1584s	at least at least with the solution we
1586s	had so there's
1588s	um
1589s	and we decided is it better to have a
1591s	really easy rushing system to exploit
1593s	how the leveling happens
1595s	um and and have the questing work nicely
1598s	in situations where people aren't
1599s	necessarily in the exact right sequence
1601s	of each other
1604s	um and we chose to make things just
1607s	play a little friendlier in the
1608s	sequencing for quests
1610s	um yeah
1613s	and and like not to say it could never
1615s	change if there's something some big
1616s	reason not to but
1618s	um
1620s	complaints that rushing is super duper
1623s	easy
1624s	you know
1626s	like it doesn't affect the very first
1628s	characters at the start of a ladder uh
1630s	or cycle sorry
1632s	um
1640s	you know I would I would still if it's
1641s	your first time playing through the game
1642s	I still would really recommend
1644s	um playing for the campaign even if it's
1646s	your first time playing through that
1647s	class
1649s	or or Mastery class or just a different
1651s	theme in that Master Class playing
1653s	through the campaign is set up really
1654s	carefully to to to try and uh ease you
1657s	into the mechanics and and you like you
1659s	get new abilities slowly as you're going
1661s	through the campaign and everything and
1663s	um it it kind of lets you explore that
1665s	class
1667s	um in in a evolving environment instead
1669s	of just and I'm sure for people who like
1672s	they're like oh this is my 100th
1673s	Marksman I don't need to to do that
1675s	great you know like I agree
1680s	it's just it's it's hard to
1683s	um
1684s	kind of lay out a good early user path
1688s	um
1689s	and and still allow like hyper
1692s	experienced players to enjoy the system
1694s	as well
1699s	all right how are fixes going for
1700s	multiplayer connectivity issues
1702s	um
1703s	Smooth release like 3.9 so far it's it's
1705s	yeah it's overall very good there are
1708s	definite problems and we are tackling
1711s	those
1712s	um
1713s	it's not perfect by any means but like
1716s	um I'm confident we'll be we will be
1718s	hitting point nine on time
1721s	with with a with a good level of quality
1741s	it's it's pretty crazy considering some
1743s	of the um
1745s	so some of the multiplayer systems that
1747s	are like that are in were added the week
1750s	that the that the first like that the um
1754s	the the Invitational event like that
1757s	week there was there were things fresh
1758s	things being added to CTS like days
1760s	before the Invitational event went out
1763s	um and there was stuff that was added
1764s	between the Invitational and the the
1767s	larger skeletons happening now like it's
1770s	um so it's surprisingly good I'm happy
1773s	with it
1781s	I've been testing multiple and it feels
1782s	very good thank you nice job sadly it's
1785s	gonna end soon it is funny thing 10 days
1787s	felt Too Short probably because uh
1789s	there's so many builds to try on yeah
1790s	and and
1792s	um
1793s	I I think it's really good that we're
1795s	ending and we still got a couple days
1797s	left but like I think we're ending this
1798s	event and people are saying hey I want
1801s	to play more and I think that's a really
1802s	good sign and that's what we hoped would
1803s	happen I know that's how it sounds mean
1805s	oh I hope you really don't get
1807s	everything you know
1809s	um but it's important for us to be able
1810s	to take this information make some
1811s	changes offline and
1813s	um prepare for the next event and
1816s	um like having this online does take
1818s	resources away from the team and doing
1820s	other things as well
1826s	so yeah so sorry you don't get to do
1828s	everything you wanted for it and I know
1830s	a lot of people are are sitting in the
1831s	boat where they're like everything was
1833s	fine for me like just release
1834s	multiplayer you know I've seen a couple
1836s	posts like that like there's nothing to
1838s	fix just do it
1840s	and I'm thrilled that that's what's
1843s	happening for absolutely it's
1844s	unfortunately not everyone yet
1848s	okay this is gonna be bad
1851s	be very very bad just hide behind the
1854s	meteor image
1855s	thank you very much uh tarek coming up
1859s	with a reading party welcome everyone
1860s	from there glad to have you with us
1864s	a familiar ice Goliath of haste
1868s	there's something very
1872s	reassuring about that
1880s	oh I just wanted to oh yeah
1882s	I just want to say congrats the
1884s	multiplayer it's pleasantly surprised me
1886s	how well it has gone obviously there are
1888s	bugs but oh frog great experience yeah
1889s	thanks that's great it's exactly let's
1892s	just say it love it
1897s	uh you don't think having that easy
1900s	rushing will cause all the multiplayer
1902s	to just be everyone trying to get
1903s	boosted and not actually play the game I
1905s	feel like it should only be doable after
1906s	your first playthrough yeah I mean
1909s	there's there's still there's still
1910s	debates there to be had for sure
1912s	um
1913s	I think that because the initial like
1916s	wave of people
1920s	um who who are coming in like when a
1922s	cycle starts there'll be no rush that
1924s	happens there really or very minimal at
1925s	least in the initial wave because people
1926s	who are uh ahead early will want to keep
1929s	being ahead I think
1931s	um
1932s	and people who are
1934s	um
1937s	like joining like a week later or
1940s	something like that yeah it's it would
1943s	probably be nice to have that experience
1944s	be
1945s	um normal and and fresh for everyone
1948s	It's Tricky It's Tricky like
1953s	I I think I think we're gonna be looking
1955s	for feedback on things like that and I
1957s	think we'll we'll be keeping an eye on
1958s	how it works and everything and
1960s	um
1963s	part of what's going to be is there like
1964s	is the campaign rewarding to do
1966s	um both from a gameplay perspective and
1968s	from uh like itemized reward so like
1971s	there's there's things in the campaign
1972s	still that even if you get rushed you
1974s	still have to get like you still have to
1975s	get your
1977s	um your passive Quest and you still have
1979s	to get your idol quests
1981s	um and completing the campaign at the
1982s	end gives I think plus one to all
1984s	attributes I think question mark
1986s	um my point is that there's there are
1988s	like end game rewards for a character
1990s	throughout the campaign so if you want
1992s	to have that completed character that
1994s	finished character it's it has to go
1996s	through the campaign
1998s	or at least part of it and that's that's
1999s	that's a big part of the reason why we
2001s	have these
2002s	um why there's more than 15 quests that
2005s	have passive points as a reward and
2006s	there's more than eight quests that have
2007s	idle slots as a reward and this is an
2009s	attempt to say hey like there's this
2012s	content we want you to interact with
2014s	um but but you can interact with it in a
2017s	unique way for you and trying not to say
2019s	like here's the path you have to follow
2022s	um
2024s	and we're still slowly layering those
2026s	systems together
2027s	so
2029s	see how that goes
2036s	uh it helps curb the choice paralysis
2038s	when you have tons of new things thrown
2040s	in here
2043s	uh I was showing a friend last night who
2046s	was King to try free weekend like I told
2047s	him there will be bugs but generally
2049s	speaking really smooth easily on par
2051s	with other multiple games we play thanks
2055s	that's yeah that's like
2061s	I'm I'm hoping that it's I'm hoping that
2063s	people feel
2065s	like they're getting a good experience
2066s	and the bugs that they do interact with
2069s	are not
2071s	um
2073s	experience destroying
2075s	I don't know game breaking's the wrong
2077s	word I think because sometimes game
2079s	breaking bugs are not experienced
2080s	destroying
2082s	and there's probably better term for ah
2086s	oh he was right here that's why the
2087s	problem I tried to go on my own
2092s	I Need You John I can't do it on my own
2099s	hey quiet two things hi Mike love you
2102s	hope you've been well thank you glad to
2103s	hear it hope you're doing great yourself
2105s	uh second thing spring and form where
2107s	you ride uh roots on top of the ground
2110s	kind of like a surfboard logic as a dash
2112s	skill or turn into a veil spirit and zip
2115s	Across The Surge like movement springing
2116s	from form Dash ability
2120s	you want these things
2122s	losing
2125s	yeah there's some cool stuff there John
2126s	you just spamming trying to get back
2128s	spam videos
2129s	come join me this time huh
2134s	I know quite I know there's still
2136s	there's still um
2138s	stuff stuff going on with
2141s	uh friggin movement I'm pretty sure I
2143s	don't think all of the stuff we had
2144s	planned for that's in yet I could be
2145s	wrong though
2157s	come on
2162s	wow I got stunned interrupted right in
2164s	the middle of gas in that
2167s	oh I don't put your spinals
2170s	Hell Fire Res yes please
2176s	excuse me crit fires yeah that one's all
2181s	right
2204s	oh
2205s	uh pop up
2210s	oh
2226s	there's this rock in the middle and it's
2228s	just like just messing up all the ships
2248s	foreign
2261s	all right next question uh what is your
2264s	biggest relief and your biggest
2265s	disappointment with this event uh
2275s	uh okay
2279s	one question two answers
2281s	that the servers didn't blow up and
2284s	crash completely and explode into fiery
2286s	ball
2291s	um so I am relieved that these servers
2293s	did not explode in a big fiery ball of
2295s	death
2296s	um throughout the main event I'm a
2298s	little disappointed that when we tried
2300s	to they didn't explode a big Fireball
2301s	attack because I was hoping we could
2303s	um
2309s	see ya same answer
2325s	all right next question
2328s	is it intended maybe but if you think it
2331s	might not be leave a bug report because
2332s	that's very helpful
2334s	um is it intended that we cannot use any
2336s	skills in town hubs I know we actually
2339s	have to walk instead of teleporting
2340s	around yes it is intended
2343s	townhubs are uh ability usage-free zones
2358s	echo in progress get out of there
2362s	all right next one can we get uh more
2365s	support skill and uniques for lightning
2367s	Paladin
2368s	um yeah I mean so there's still
2370s	um a major skill a primary skill for
2372s	Paladin that is a like a clear support
2375s	skill
2377s	um that is not
2381s	um
2383s	this is good here
2386s	um that doesn't have a skill tree yet so
2387s	that'll be a big part of it so yes
2390s	and more items will come and as we as we
2393s	update things as well so you'll get more
2394s	of those too
2400s	all right
2404s	any plans to bring back dummies early on
2406s	for helping new players remember the
2407s	first time messing with dummies to
2409s	figure out stuff I mean so there is
2411s	there are still dummies in heroria
2414s	um
2414s	I don't think we have plans to I know we
2417s	don't have plans to bring them to oh
2419s	gosh shouldn't have moved
2420s	um
2422s	John help
2425s	or if you can hear me or not
2427s	but I'm gonna die
2432s	um
2433s	yeah he's here wonderful
2435s	um
2444s	uh dummies I I could see um some dummies
2448s	appearing in a new Zone they can't be in
2451s	towns is the problem so
2453s	um the the dummy won't be going back to
2455s	eot
2456s	um
2459s	yeah
2469s	oh goodness mean
2491s	okay
2498s	it's a little bit of damage coming out
2500s	from places
2518s	okay
2526s	yep
2529s	taking some hits here
2535s	got him
2537s	take it
2538s	oh got some rings to look through I
2540s	should uh
2541s	I do have it turned on it's just not
2544s	very strict
2560s	Judd you wanted to be leader
2580s	foreign
2586s	happy right now
2601s	I'm just gonna start one anyways
2605s	doing it
2617s	oh we're going full party that's what's
2619s	happening okay
2623s	all right that works for me what's your
2625s	opinion of putting uh socks on wet feet
2628s	for my kids swimming lessons uh and this
2631s	is total weirdo next to me is doing it
2633s	not biased at all
2635s	um I think that there are select
2636s	situations where you have to but if can
2639s	be avoided avoid it
2642s	you know
2646s	uh is this [ __ ] bring this in the PS5
2649s	eventually we hope to but um it will not
2651s	be releasing on PS5 initially at least
2656s	I love you Mike felishi team thank you
2658s	very much these events are a blast you
2660s	have any ideas for the events past point
2662s	nine at release or after
2664s	um we've got some some ideas for things
2666s	we don't know exactly what we're gonna
2667s	do
2669s	um I mean once once point nine goes live
2671s	like that's that's multiplayers live
2673s	period type thing so there's there's
2676s	less of a draw for a multiplayer event
2678s	but um yeah we'll still do events for
2681s	things
2682s	oh it's like
2689s	oh
2693s	caught up oh my God
2697s	yes we are joined by it's me Luigi and
2700s	Jukes for Jesus TV
2704s	no I actually don't know who either
2705s	those people are
2708s	I assume they've
2711s	gotta be people on the team I think
2716s	maybe not though
2719s	it's me Luigi welcome to the party
2722s	oh you're rocking the rocket rocking the
2724s	rain of winter there eh
2725s	I've got one but uh
2729s	or not we're not gonna expect for it
2730s	here properly
2735s	oh they're much stronger than I am
2742s	ice Beetle time
2744s	I'm going to name this one Michelangelo
2747s	this one Raphael this one
2768s	oh hey strong zoom zoom
2775s	that's the way we'd like to zoom uh-huh
2787s	thinking about visual types of events
2789s	like racism but more official yeah and I
2791s	think that there's opportunities for
2792s	people who have been
2794s	um creating and running those events
2796s	already that probably know like more
2799s	about what works and what doesn't and
2801s	what the community wants to see in an
2803s	event like that
2805s	um so I suspect we'll be we'll be
2807s	talking probably specifically to Vision
2809s	GL about
2810s	um about events and and and what sort of
2812s	ones they'd like to see or or their what
2815s	their Community would like to see
2823s	but yeah those those events are great
2836s	okay serious question all right quiet
2838s	let's do this have you guys ever thought
2839s	about doing a group ssf in the same mode
2842s	of ssf people can invite to Lobby to
2846s	create the ssf group to play ssf uh
2849s	alone you do a Lobby by yourself then
2851s	separating leaderboard 1p2 p3p4p then
2854s	using regular software hardcore as more
2857s	free trade so people could choose their
2859s	own economy this could help me be cut
2861s	down on community divide and cast more
2862s	developer focused support yes we have
2865s	considered that
2866s	um
2868s	I I think that
2871s	um
2877s	uh we we're we're probably leaning a
2881s	different direction right now
2884s	um
2885s	done that it is
2887s	um it is it so it is an interesting
2889s	proposition
2891s	um
2892s	and
2894s	it does hit a lot of the really key
2896s	points and things that we'd like to hit
2898s	with
2900s	um
2902s	uh with a system like this because
2904s	you're right there are a lot of people
2905s	that are very split on the issue and
2908s	um
2911s	uh and and getting that into sort of one
2914s	cohesive uh space would be really great
2919s	um
2922s	I I I think the part about that that
2924s	personally I'm not a huge fan of
2926s	um and and this has come up in
2928s	discussions we've had about it before is
2929s	that it does
2931s	um
2933s	it it does kind of restrict like you you
2936s	have to limit who can be in this ssf
2938s	league sort of so to speak
2940s	um and having
2943s	um having
2945s	those like predetermined lines is a
2949s	little tricky to to have feel good I
2951s	think
2952s	um
2953s	I think in a in an ideal situation
2955s	people would be able to have more of a
2958s	hop-in hop out Vibe on like oh I want to
2962s	play with my friends but I don't always
2964s	want to play with my friends sometimes I
2966s	want to play with other friends
2967s	um like like there's there's no
2969s	one-size-fits all like you can you can
2972s	do your your group with four people you
2974s	group with seven people like there's
2976s	um everyone's got different numbers of
2978s	friends right and
2979s	um and different combinations of those
2981s	numbers that'll be on at different times
2984s	um and so I think it's I Think It's
2985s	tricky to do it that way it it it does
2988s	there's verses that you can do where
2990s	it's basically just like private leagues
2992s	um
2997s	I I think there's easier ways to do it
3000s	that would end up being more
3002s	straightforward a little smoother and
3007s	yeah
3008s	I think it's it's all very hypothetical
3010s	until we until we until we get through
3012s	all this and uh
3015s	I'm uh a little bit followed on the
3017s	buggy side here
3023s	we're gonna
3029s	I'm gonna kill the game and come right
3031s	back
3039s	oh no desktop got shown
3042s	it's okay though
3043s	my desktop is super boring
3048s	it's gonna do this real quick while I
3049s	log in and everything so I don't know
3050s	what's gonna show up
3058s	I don't think anything sensitive shows
3059s	up but on the off chance it does
3065s	yeah okay just shows my display name
3068s	that's fine
3071s	and on the off chance any of my
3072s	characters are inappropriately named
3074s	they're all appropriately named oh my
3076s	gosh look at that likes you can't I'll
3079s	fix it it's too late now anyways
3084s	we're good
3086s	look at that almost like I know what I'm
3088s	doing
3089s	almost not quite
3098s	okay
3114s	ah
3124s	just a little organization stuff here
3126s	the party
3127s	get back in talk to me not voice people
3131s	foreign
3134s	there we are
3168s	I have my chat offs I couldn't see what
3170s	uh
3171s	the judge just just paying for for
3173s	people
3174s	love it
3176s	that that's so cool that is so cool
3179s	let's try different one so don't break
3180s	it again
3183s	enrage and rage
3187s	hi Health yeah let's see High Health
3197s	future plans regarding performance make
3199s	it better
3201s	constant improvements
3205s	I significantly hope or uh
3209s	like seriously hope that um 0.9 or the
3213s	what you've been playing with was the
3214s	point one point eight one four E I have
3217s	0.14.81
3219s	0.8.14 e was uh much better performance
3222s	for you than eight five was
3229s	I hope it is for me
3241s	gold
3244s	I'm gonna hold it everywhere
3248s	how about a form of train which allows
3251s	me to give somebody an item in exchange
3253s	for their base stats
3256s	wait what
3262s	I don't understand it sounds horrible
3289s	all right uh new player even though I
3292s	purchased a while ago yeah we actually
3294s	see that a lot
3296s	um it's which is interesting
3300s	um are the chances being lowered in the
3302s	normal uh
3305s	let's get into this
3311s	hello
3312s	hello can you hear me yeah I think
3314s	everyone can hear you probably awesome
3316s	awesome this is Judd the game director
3320s	oh you know what I need to do I need to
3322s	turn on the uh sound on your stream
3324s	there we go turn off the sound of my
3326s	stream assuming yeah yeah serious Echo
3329s	yeah just invited a couple people out of
3332s	the community yeah that's cool I think I
3335s	think the other night I actually grouped
3336s	with both of these players funny enough
3338s	Ah that's awesome I've just been doing
3340s	pickup games in the evening
3341s	yeah I've seen young quite a bit
3345s	I've been playing with that I've been
3346s	playing with my son at night actually
3348s	it's been a lot of fun nice mm-hmm
3353s	started off yeah yeah
3355s	um what are the thoughts of the team
3357s	regarding the new item exalted drop
3359s	rates looking at the ongoing event data
3362s	speedrunning not only the campaign but
3363s	also gear progression at the moment
3369s	um
3370s	we we definitely did we we buffed a
3372s	bunch of drop rates really recently
3374s	didn't we
3375s	there there definitely was some Buffs to
3378s	resolve to drop rates I think the
3380s	percentage that we increased it by
3383s	it seems like people are saying that
3386s	they're getting more than was intended
3388s	though
3389s	that might be slightly out of the loop
3391s	on that though
3392s	that's the same thought I had to use the
3394s	the difference that I was seeing people
3395s	talking about I'm like
3397s	we we hardly nudged the dials yeah yeah
3400s	it seems like it shouldn't have been
3403s	felt to the extent that it is yeah yeah
3408s	I think that's another question that's
3410s	similar um
3412s	new new player purchase a while ago are
3414s	the drop chances being lowered in the
3415s	normal game and is there any way to
3417s	better highlight chest
3422s	I have disability it's kind of hard to
3423s	see oh um
3426s	the chest like oh like the chest exists
3429s	there
3430s	um maybe that's the sort of stuff that
3432s	that's really good is form feedback like
3434s	a screenshot of like this is where it's
3436s	hard for me to see that that sort of
3437s	stuff's really useful there I don't
3439s	think we have any plans for it
3440s	specifically right now though we've
3441s	always intended to bring in like color
3443s	blind options and stuff like that but
3445s	they haven't they haven't quite gotten
3446s	to the top of the list yet I would love
3448s	if we could get some of those in before
3449s	1.0 though we've even made graphics for
3452s	the different uh Rarities of items in
3455s	the paper doll and the inventory and
3456s	stuff like that so that people are
3457s	colorblind they can uh differentiate
3459s	more easily there but we we haven't
3461s	quite got them into a build yet yeah
3471s	I'm being told that we did that the the
3472s	early drop rates for exalties did go up
3474s	quite a bit
3476s	it's yeah it's it's and this is the sort
3478s	of stuff that we'll we'll be tweaking
3480s	and changing and experimenting with you
3483s	know
3487s	Aaron hello welcome
3490s	and she had some Idols to have
3493s	um plus two all skills
3496s	um no well I mean come on Mike
3500s	maybe like a unique one or a finger on
3504s	the monkey spot curls plus one to all
3506s	skills you can't cast spells
3512s	oh it's actually a nice ring
3515s	not good for this build but you know
3519s	anyone in here doing The Chronic damage
3521s	doesn't look like it
3522s	oh I made a pretty sick ring a minute
3524s	ago uh we don't have item link again
3526s	quite yet all right to show you but uh
3528s	apparently there is a branch where we
3530s	have the local item leaking happening
3532s	I'm gonna see if we can get it to spread
3533s	across channels before the 0.9 release
3535s	we'll see that's because the chat um
3538s	chat issues though right not good at the
3540s	episode
3547s	and when you say local just declare
3549s	people that are listening you mean
3550s	people who are physically in the same
3552s	Zone as you local in the sense of when
3554s	items drop if they're shared or not
3557s	right
3559s	I was reading something I'm not good at
3561s	multitasking on these streets like you
3563s	are yet
3567s	uh
3569s	the uh the item linking stuff for the
3572s	fact that it's only on local is is
3573s	referring to local servers where like
3575s	yeah yeah and and so you know we were
3579s	aiming we are aiming to get some version
3581s	of item linking out and that's kind of
3583s	like an MVP version that we know that we
3585s	could get out but it's not quite the
3586s	experience that you would expect with
3588s	item linking and I I fear that people
3590s	would be a little bit annoyed if they
3592s	couldn't link them in the way that you
3593s	would expect them to be linked at all
3595s	times so we're gonna see if we can patch
3597s	that up and get that out in time it
3599s	would be a big win especially when we're
3601s	talking about like the uh item gifting
3603s	system and stuff that's the main reason
3605s	that we're trying to get it in uh sooner
3607s	rather than later yeah
3612s	but we will have it to where it's like
3614s	completely cross Channel and everything
3616s	works as expected oh yeah it's just
3618s	whether or not that happens pretty
3619s	certain patch or not is yeah yeah
3624s	always the question can we do it yes can
3627s	we do it in time maybe
3635s	how about an auto loot option for shards
3637s	I mean it's it's like we can talk about
3640s	it but uh
3642s	not playing it at the moment
3646s	that one has been debated internally a
3649s	lot actually so yeah which usually is a
3653s	sign that not everyone is uh aligned and
3656s	it keeps getting debated yeah yeah
3659s	I mean I think most of us are pretty
3663s	happy with it now that we have the local
3666s	area pickup in the way that we have that
3668s	made it way way better I have horrible
3671s	carpal tunnel from playing Diablo 2 and
3674s	path Exile and Grim Dawn and Marvel
3675s	heroes for a ridiculous amount of hours
3678s	and uh if we before we had that in I was
3681s	a very big proponent of the auto pickup
3683s	yeah
3687s	and I'm sure that debate's not going
3689s	anywhere anytime soon yeah
3693s	it was gay bad right now it's feeling
3694s	great nice oh you're not you're not
3696s	jumping around like for you before I
3697s	guess we fixed it yeah yeah no yeah no
3699s	we uh we did we have we have it uh
3701s	updating in in very quick intervals now
3703s	so that is feeling much better nice I
3705s	didn't even notice
3707s	um
3708s	I actually almost made a comment when
3709s	you first joined that I'm like you see
3711s	Judd's playing on keyboard and mouse now
3713s	instead of gamepads he's not jumping
3714s	around like last time
3717s	I just don't even know everything's
3718s	going to the game
3719s	it's hard to keep up now that the team
3721s	is a little bit bigger yeah I even have
3723s	a hard time keeping up with quite a few
3725s	things that are going in
3733s	remember when it was just like just
3735s	keeping an eye on the patch Judd's
3736s	Channel it would get updated every day
3737s	or so you know
3739s	yeah easy easy squishy yeah absolutely
3742s	we were all involved in every meeting
3744s	there was there was no there was no
3747s	separate meetings for like World
3748s	building and stuff like that it was just
3750s	everybody hopping we're talking about a
3752s	Tarot
3754s	three
3755s	oh it's just a little bit since then
3758s	questions here can you ask Judd when
3760s	I'll get my spring and movement skill
3762s	please
3764s	no he's known for leaks
3768s	I am I'm good about that aren't I uh
3772s	I think um actually I forget where we
3774s	left off in that conversation I know
3775s	that we were talking about spring
3776s	movement uh
3779s	not not too long ago I do have the notes
3783s	from that meeting like right in front of
3784s	you really really yeah
3786s	should we not leak that no no it's not
3788s	like that okay that's not like this I'm
3790s	sorry quiet I'm sorry it's not it's not
3793s	in yet it's the problem yeah yeah but uh
3795s	but we we know that it's wanted and
3797s	needed so yeah yes
3806s	okay uh
3810s	the the one stuff from you hey Judd when
3813s	when are we getting that passive reset
3814s	button
3816s	we're talking about the like like got
3820s	some passive respects and and not having
3821s	to do them individually
3823s	oh yeah did we ever did we implement the
3826s	uh
3827s	yes the ability to just press the enter
3829s	key yes we definitely did definitely did
3831s	that oh hello The Waiting party thank
3833s	you very much and a reset for 21 months
3835s	in a row welcome welcome welcome
3838s	glad to have you here for sure
3841s	mcfluff and you want to hop in a party
3842s	with us we got one more spot
3844s	yep
3849s	the overall passive respect button I
3853s	would say that that is probably pretty
3854s	low on the list at the moment if I'm if
3856s	I'm being realistic well it did it did
3858s	so first off we do have that button
3860s	internally already that's all it is is
3862s	exposing a function until
3865s	so the the the the barrier to put this
3867s	in is super low who's who's feeling
3870s	leaky now Mike I've told them this is
3872s	not new info that's not even though
3875s	that's old old info
3878s	um last time we talked about it we said
3880s	no
3881s	remember when we had uh that button on
3885s	the start screen that would delete all
3887s	characters and it was just like a two by
3889s	two pixel and we just like nobody ever
3891s	found it but we would use it uh on the
3893s	dev team yep yeah those for for years
3896s	there was like a little tiny spot on the
3898s	on the loading screen you could click
3899s	and it would just nuke your whole
3900s	account
3908s	but if you found that two by two pixel
3910s	spot it would probably be a little
3911s	surprising when you were presented with
3913s	the confirmation model yeah
3916s	I think the confirmation popped up like
3917s	right underneath it too
3920s	if you were stand looking you hit it
3921s	accidentally goodness
3925s	and like no one ever learned where oh I
3928s	died rip up yep I'm getting I'm so
3931s	squishy like smashing here too
3933s	this is like a level 86 character with
3936s	like level 75 gear
3941s	yeah this this build is really good as
3942s	long as my meteor can kill everything
3944s	with one hit uh once we get past that
3947s	point way less good
3949s	yup way less good
3952s	did find a Bastion though really like
3954s	just now no no no no no
3956s	like actually I think it was like level
3958s	50 or something it was it was pretty
3960s	early on yeah we just Sprint drop
3963s	what's what's the bit of level of that
3966s	let's see
3969s	50. wow okay study
3973s	naughty I did not realize it's possible
3975s	drop that low
3977s	I mean it's sweet
3978s	yeah let me just like oh
3980s	someone gets it to me nope
3984s	all right let's get some we got tons of
3985s	questions here I'm gonna I'm gonna start
3986s	rattling through some of these here all
3988s	right go through it
3989s	um let's scroll up a bit
3994s	uh hello yes it's great I'm really
3997s	rooting for Ellie the whole team love
3998s	the game thank you very much squid
4001s	um
4003s	I was actually getting most of these
4005s	uh the the NPC from uh liberating the
4008s	nomads are missing in your game
4011s	head on over to the foreign photographer
4012s	please
4013s	uh hey Mike last time I asked about 100
4015s	offline mode for 0.9 it was unknown at
4018s	the time if it was 0.9 or a 1.0 feature
4021s	curious if that is known yet
4024s	which feature
4025s	um pure offline mode like like don't
4027s	even have to have Steam on I see I see
4030s	so so we're working towards uh a more
4033s	pure offline build here uh we will be
4036s	releasing offline with services with 0.9
4039s	so we do expect that she'll be able to
4041s	like use the chat feature and stuff like
4043s	that but
4044s	um it's actually just a little bit of
4045s	work to decouple those things and it
4047s	hasn't hit the top of the priority stack
4049s	yet so 0.9 will launch with uh somewhat
4053s	offline feature it'll be it'll be very
4054s	similar to what you guys are
4055s	experiencing on live though
4058s	yeah it'll we'll have basically the the
4060s	same offline mode that's already there
4062s	um
4063s	and then the other one still is in the
4066s	pipe
4068s	that's a nice Idol did I wait long
4070s	enough or did you get those
4072s	yeah a guy came in right as she hit
4075s	Jukes will be back in a minute we gotta
4077s	do this on our own I think I think
4079s	oh yeah oh yeah this is gonna get Rippy
4083s	fast yep just just one of us has to keep
4086s	surviving
4088s	if we if we really Pace it I can just
4091s	use nope there we go I'm dead
4094s	the middle of my sentence uh if we Pace
4097s	it we can use my black hole as cover all
4100s	right oh no no I'm dead again it's not
4103s	gonna happen
4107s	take a bag we need you apparently I'm
4112s	gonna stand a chat for looking for one
4113s	more all right that's really curious I
4116s	love one more carry
4118s	yeah
4120s	he's doing some beefy like uh like like
4122s	a necro tank or like a a zookeeper or uh
4127s	like a
4128s	sword board they said looking for one
4131s	more empowered models come carry the
4132s	devs
4134s	hope your backpack's big yeah
4139s	oh my God I got an invite from somebody
4142s	I'll have to turn that around and invite
4144s	them though yeah
4150s	uh do we know if slash invite is
4153s	actually hooked up to work I have no
4156s	idea we're about to find out there's an
4159s	invite button that you can type in the
4160s	name in the
4162s	um
4163s	oh that's right that's right and I think
4165s	you can right click on chat messages on
4166s	the names can you turn right there
4168s	uh yes but this person he just uh
4171s	invited me straight out oh yeah so I
4173s	just have the the invite the name yeah
4178s	well button on there be like actually
4179s	invite them invite back yeah that was
4183s	actually that was actually really
4184s	helpful that would actually be helpful
4186s	uh one thing that I noticed that we also
4188s	need is we we need a way for people to
4191s	um give other people party lead yeah
4194s	oh neither of those things should be
4196s	hard I don't think
4197s	I don't know
4200s	I don't know if the party lead
4202s	transference requires a party reform but
4203s	I don't no because when someone leaves
4205s	you can transfer party yeah
4216s	all right how about a nine slot Idol
4218s	that gives me the ability to Auto pick
4219s	up shards
4222s	I think if someone was willing to give
4224s	up nine idle slots
4227s	yeah I mean okay yeah yeah like a finger
4229s	on the monkey spot curls granted but
4232s	they're all in a square oh is that the
4234s	real is that the real Aaron
4240s	because there's no nine by there's no
4241s	three by three grid
4244s	in in the game
4246s	yeah I'm pretty sure that's Aaron yeah
4248s	all right
4252s	so what I asked for a necro Tank come on
4254s	come check for us
4256s	yes you can carry us yeah we're gonna
4259s	have a lot more hours
4261s	I just died me too thank you Aaron come
4266s	quick
4269s	oh gosh
4271s	oh yeah yeah
4274s	all right
4278s	uh MTX win give us something
4281s	MTX win um so we're looking to include
4284s	an MVP version of the uh MTX system with
4288s	0.9 the inventory will be very limited
4292s	uh but what's really exciting about that
4294s	is everybody everybody that has
4295s	purchased the game actually does have uh
4298s	pets and coins and stuff like that so
4300s	for the first time ever you guys will be
4301s	able to equip your pets and see your uh
4304s	the amount of currency you have
4306s	so we do we do expect to have that with
4309s	0.9 barring any you know last minute
4313s	I don't know crazy hiccups that we could
4314s	experience but right now I mean Mike
4316s	you've actually been working on that
4317s	quite a lot as the person implementing
4319s	that I'm confident okay
4321s	yeah or one of the people implementing
4323s	that yeah
4325s	very involved system yeah it's so many
4329s	edge cases oh my God and you have to be
4332s	hyper hyper careful about it because if
4334s	people are spending uh real money we
4336s	have to make sure it's it's watertight
4338s	yeah big time
4343s	I just I just did the air States and
4346s	messages for uh if the panel doesn't
4349s	load properly initially mm-hmm
4353s	I'm excited to show everybody uh all of
4355s	the cool like videos and cosmetics
4358s	because I don't think we've really shown
4359s	the community way too much of any of the
4361s	Cosmetic stuff have we we've shown
4364s	quite a few concept images and a couple
4366s	renders but not much really yeah yeah
4370s	it's good stuff
4372s	we've seen this doing a great job on all
4373s	those yeah
4382s	you know a melee lightning Paladin skill
4385s	I don't have any of those yet
4387s	they make Lightning's a secondary
4389s	paladins that so it makes sense
4397s	I can see that being a thing that would
4398s	come in with an item like a unique that
4401s	that adds
4403s	lightning to a melee skill or um or
4406s	converts a lightning seal to melee or
4407s	something like that yeah I guess that
4409s	being unique that added that ability
4414s	we'll have uh we'll have four masteries
4416s	which looks like completely lightning
4418s	based Sentinel
4424s	never can make the teslines
4430s	this one just for that name
4431s	that's the holy shock file that was D2
4434s	is called yeah
4441s	holy shock is
4443s	um actually a holy shock but also the
4445s	lightning resists
4448s	um skills in D2 are like
4450s	are are the least understood skills in
4453s	that game I think
4456s	it's probably that's probably Fair like
4458s	the way that you scale them and stuff do
4460s	you know each each one of them resist uh
4463s	you probably only answer this but each
4464s	each of the resist element skill auras
4466s	in Diablo 2 all three of them the resist
4469s	fire resist cold there's this lightning
4470s	they all have a hidden effect
4474s	a hidden passive effect
4477s	that's not listed anywhere but you
4479s	notice it when you start getting it do
4480s	you know what it is
4481s	oh gosh you're so good with D2 trivia
4484s	the fact that I played that for a good
4486s	billion hours and you know so much more
4488s	about it than I do is worrying
4494s	that's the reason I just used to sleep
4495s	first period every morning at High
4497s	School
4499s	oh yeah oh yeah I would I would uh there
4501s	was plenty of times I just didn't go to
4503s	class because I would be up funny enough
4504s	I the the story where uh I would I would
4508s	stay up all night playing Diablo 2 uh
4510s	Ever every night and uh my parents were
4513s	very lenient and they would never tell
4515s	me not to do it but well one one day
4517s	they woke up it was time for school I
4520s	was still awake playing Diablo 2 and and
4523s	they were like if you if we wake up
4526s	again and you're still playing Diablo 2
4527s	when we wake up we're gonna throw away
4530s	the computer and so the next night I
4533s	played Diablo 2 all night again and then
4537s	and then I heard the alarm clock go off
4539s	in my parents room and I quickly hit the
4541s	monitor power button uh and I laid in
4544s	bed acting like I was asleep and as soon
4547s	as my parents came in to check on me uh
4549s	I pretended that when they came in it
4552s	woke me up because I pretend that it
4554s	woke me up I got back onto the computer
4556s	and just resumed uh my PlayStation
4558s	classic well well done perfect no
4561s	addiction no addiction at all it was
4563s	completely fine
4570s	I I feel like I did some of the things
4572s	the answer to the question though just
4574s	just uh because I'm gonna I'm gonna not
4575s	leave it hanging uh for every two points
4578s	in a resist element Aura you gain one
4582s	maximum resist of that element
4586s	I feel like I do that yeah I think I do
4588s	that from back in the day
4594s	but I haven't been playing like a bunch
4595s	of t2r or anything like that
4597s	oh they some of the update like tons of
4600s	new roon words and everything I was
4601s	tempted but like I just don't have any
4603s	time
4609s	okay bunch more questions here I also
4611s	have a little spoiler image to pop up
4612s	you gave me oh yeah yeah what have you
4616s	said about that one what are some items
4618s	in the top of that priority stack any
4620s	new content favorite system
4622s	uh lost memories something else
4625s	yeah it's a very good question uh
4629s	we we have a lot of good stuff coming I
4632s	I won't get that spoilery because I mean
4635s	if we're talking about stuff that high
4637s	level that's like major patch editions
4639s	that were that were coming out there
4641s	there are a number of really cool
4643s	additions that we have planned to bring
4645s	into the game at like 1.1 1.2 that
4648s	nobody has any idea about and we're
4651s	talking you know drastically extending
4653s	the in-game and the item haunt and
4654s	giving us new axes to work with and
4656s	stuff like that um excited to talk about
4658s	those but not not quite yet
4661s	this uh this Lego man is doing work
4666s	oh yeah
4670s	yeah I think I'm dead
4673s	I don't think I'm dead but I'm not sure
4675s	really
4677s	uh
4680s	I keep coming to take me guys yeah oh we
4682s	got this I'm pretty far behind here
4686s	uh can you put names over minimap tab
4689s	map over player icon so I know who is
4692s	where yeah
4693s	um that's that's that's definitely a
4695s	thing
4696s	um
4698s	to have names there's options the the
4700s	first feature that we want to put there
4702s	is have colors be there so um have like
4705s	a background color here associated with
4707s	each person
4709s	and then have the colors of the icons on
4711s	the map you just did the matching of
4713s	that color
4714s	um so if you want you just do my color
4715s	you're like oh so and so is purple oh I
4717s	know who purple is if you're playing
4718s	with the same people in the same group
4719s	for a while
4721s	um it's it's pretty obvious who's who
4724s	but yeah adding names there is is the
4726s	same level difficulty there's a major
4728s	problem that caused us to not do that I
4730s	can't remember what it was but um
4732s	ideally we will be getting that in
4738s	uh so it's the Forum see what bug report
4741s	um I went to get a pick for proof he
4743s	came back
4745s	yep the old we just called the old magic
4747s	car ride when I worked at a computer
4750s	store
4752s	we will call in I got this problem all
4754s	right bring it down they bring it down
4755s	we plug it in it's totally fine
4758s	take it home it's totally fine magic car
4761s	ride
4762s	I'm gonna reinvite the party here in a
4765s	second all the loot it didn't despawn
4768s	and it's physically located
4771s	uh in the world at the same spot as yeah
4774s	interesting that's I've never seen that
4776s	before no that's that's new and it's not
4779s	our updated on ground loot models either
4782s	because I see the hockey oh yeah there's
4783s	the hockey [ __ ] are you sure yeah
4786s	I should just uh that got in
4788s	uh I don't think that's merged in yeah I
4791s	think it's on an outstanding Branch but
4793s	but we had a lot of really good work
4794s	done with uh the loot on ground models
4797s	how loot spawns and feels when it's it's
4799s	actually popping out of stuff yeah a
4801s	little like little flop yeah
4804s	it'll be a lot better
4808s	Idols plus Cosmetics to make uh it look
4810s	like a donut
4815s	oh I should get back again
4818s	uh [ __ ] not an age uh sorry if I sound
4822s	groggy by the way I've been uh Texas
4824s	we're not used to the cold so we have
4827s	the heater pumping and my throat is just
4829s	like completely raw from the heater I
4831s	remember last time I was there in
4833s	January the only time I've been there
4835s	but when I was there I was in there in
4836s	January for
4837s	um packs
4839s	yep and like everyone's walking around
4842s	in like big jackets and like like huge
4846s	pants and everything and I'm like
4847s	sending a t-shirt and shorts like it's
4849s	so hot here oh yeah if it's if it's
4852s	below 65 like everybody's got their
4855s	sweaters on we've got yeah our big puffy
4858s	coats yep
4860s	but if it's 110 we're fine
4863s	completely it's 110 I'm praying for
4865s	death
4870s	all right let's go back we're doing age
4872s	of winter I think okay
4878s	uh have you hit all the RPG archetypes
4880s	you'd love to play there's still like
4883s	there's there's a couple still yeah
4884s	there's definitely some missing ones
4887s	yeah yeah we uh
4890s	so so classes and skills I think is
4894s	probably what our team loves the most
4896s	and I'll say that I we're not we're not
4899s	done there last Epoch you know if we're
4901s	going to be producing content for this
4902s	game for many years into the future and
4905s	uh you should expect that we're not just
4907s	going to be done with introducing
4909s	classes and skills once we introduce the
4911s	three remaining masteries at 1.0 yeah
4916s	and I missed it Master Sword has been
4919s	suffered 21 months in a row thank you
4921s	very much this is all these 21s coming
4922s	in we we missed uh we missed a couple
4925s	streams there so that makes sense
4926s	they're all line it up but thank you
4928s	very much that's great to see welcome
4930s	welcome make this and lizard welcome to
4932s	the ready party glad to have all y'all
4935s	here with us we do have special guests
4937s	impromptu special guest Judd here uh
4940s	taking questions through me if you want
4944s	the game can't handle your end it's
4946s	right I can't just too strong
4949s	uh hello will there be a character with
4951s	barrier skills like Elemental walls
4953s	Fields protection bail uh thanks yes um
4957s	there's
4958s	the tricky thing with physical walls
4961s	that show up and there are like um
4962s	Necromancer already has wall abilities
4965s	that they can make but um
4967s	it's it's like really limited and
4968s	there's like big gaps in it usually uh
4971s	things like that because like I've never
4972s	played bone prison or with a bone prison
4975s	nekro in D2 it kind of sucks sometimes
4977s	so like
4979s	a lot of the wall Concepts we've come up
4981s	with and and worked with to to get in
4984s	are like
4985s	um like energy walls or like
4988s	um Spirit walls or you know like like
4991s	like the the type of wall where like a
4993s	player could could walk through pretty
4994s	easily
4995s	um but someone who's an enemy might be
4997s	affected when going through it like like
4999s	a debuff or something like that that's
5000s	that's the sort of a style of wall that
5003s	we've been approaching more in in design
5005s	and concept stuff
5007s	Mike have you ever heard of this uh this
5009s	person quiet quiet for me
5012s	um ever I I thought it was uh Kawaii and
5018s	then just Tiff more yeah yeah yeah
5024s	eventually we should go and do this in
5025s	the uh in the public Discord or we'd
5028s	probably have to like lock the channel
5029s	or something like that but uh being able
5030s	to like pop in here and talk to some of
5032s	these folks while we're playing would be
5033s	really cool yeah
5035s	you just do a private call I think it's
5037s	easy to do it yeah
5044s	where's everybody come back to the
5046s	safety of the group
5049s	here we go uh
5053s	uh will it be possible the safety of
5055s	Aaron just just stay next to Aaron
5057s	that's that's the plan I see green
5058s	health bars and I'm like yeah it's cozy
5060s	yeah yeah
5062s	um I think I think White's got some some
5064s	minions too possibly here
5068s	maybe not I don't know there's at least
5070s	one spriggan I saw that might be
5072s	actually had been quiet as the spriggan
5074s	which I think it was
5080s	be a good group to uh test some Arena
5082s	performance with do you want to go try
5084s	okay we just we just introduced it uh
5089s	today yeah to the to the build all right
5092s	let's let's go do some let's let's go
5093s	try the arena and see what happens oh
5095s	I lost connection to the server
5102s	earthy in there let's see uh okay tell
5105s	me when you're back at home about you
5107s	oh it's a sign here's an arena key
5112s	I must have some already
5114s	oh yeah yeah or stacked them oh but it's
5117s	only you only need one right
5123s	uh I should have lots
5131s	so there's my fruits on the stuff on the
5133s	ground
5134s	but the Packer enemy doesn't want to get
5136s	rid of it
5140s	I'm like I'm like this this means
5143s	nothing because like I can just get
5145s	anything I want but like I don't what I
5147s	don't why aren't you purchasing the
5149s	stash tabs
5151s	uh because I forgot that that got put in
5154s	and uh
5158s	awesome
5160s	I'm an idiot
5162s	that's hilarious uh yeah I forgot that
5165s	got done oh my gosh
5170s	I hope we get to restyle this before
5172s	0.92 we're gonna do a little Sprint near
5175s	the end where we update some of these UI
5176s	panels with some of the nice stuff that
5178s	we have coming out and uh there's a few
5180s	panels like the like the game guide and
5183s	the stash that I'd love to see updated
5184s	yeah
5188s	if anyone's watching they don't know
5189s	about the game guide
5191s	get in here
5193s	I'm talking about
5195s	um invite me and I will portal to you
5197s	and I'm gonna read questions from chat
5199s	while that happens
5201s	that's good
5204s	all right will it be possible to show
5205s	other items on the minimap uh like a
5207s	loot filter rule tag toggle uh somebody
5210s	builds kill stuff off screen
5212s	um
5213s	possibly hopefully uh there's some
5216s	problems with doing that there's some
5218s	performance issues with doing that
5220s	um the ability to just say anything can
5223s	show up on the map uh is dangerous
5226s	and um
5229s	we'd like to avoid letting people break
5231s	their own games
5238s	oh no I lost connection again
5244s	I wonder what's going on with that see
5246s	what server that you're connected to
5248s	I think it's at U.S Central
5250s	which is okay I'll wait for you to come
5252s	back and then we'll uh I'm at the arena
5254s	Port well not perfect for me it's quite
5256s	close
5260s	I well we're doing this I'm gonna toss
5264s	up a little teaser while we're still
5265s	trying to free this out oh yeah here we
5267s	go
5268s	it's like a full screen one because I'm
5270s	just hiding myself completely here we go
5274s	it's just concept art no one seems to
5276s	like those
5279s	so so this is funny we've gone through
5281s	and we've updated a ton of models and
5284s	and you guys will see plenty of those
5286s	with the 0.9 release
5288s	um a lot of these are not even available
5290s	in this multiplayer build right now as
5292s	we're replacing a lot of enemies uh but
5294s	those will be available for 0.9 so with
5297s	the Falcon we actually did 3D model the
5300s	Falcon and animated and everything like
5302s	that but that was a while ago when we
5304s	were testing out some initial
5306s	um some initial skills with the Falcon
5308s	now that we have progressed a little bit
5311s	we've gone back and we're revamping all
5313s	of The Beastmaster pets and they look
5315s	super cool uh and the Falcon is uh kind
5319s	of in that same vein as a pet so we've
5321s	we're updating the Falcon and this is
5323s	the new concept art that we're going to
5326s	be modeling this off of in the very near
5328s	future uh very happy with this one this
5330s	one's kind of hot off the press
5336s	and so uh this is also one of the team
5339s	is really excited about uh developing
5340s	cosmetic skins for so if there's any any
5344s	type of Falcon cosmetic skins that you
5347s	guys want to see uh we'd love to hear it
5349s	and you know everybody everybody always
5351s	goes to like you know we need a phoenix
5352s	and stuff like that which will
5354s	absolutely happen
5355s	absolutely gonna have a phoenix yeah
5358s	Cosmetic Skin for this
5360s	uh uh America bald eagle I like that I'm
5365s	gonna I'm gonna take this objects every
5366s	time it comes up there's way more Eagles
5368s	in Canada than America
5372s	steampunk Tesla Falcon yes twice yes
5378s	oh thanks anyway uh all right so this is
5381s	this is one that like even if I have to
5383s	go take personal funds and hire external
5385s	3D modelers if we don't have a bandwidth
5387s	inside like I'm just gonna I'm gonna
5388s	pump
5389s	skins into this Falcon
5391s	the store is gonna be just like half
5393s	falcon skins and then everything else
5396s	yep
5398s	all right I'm here I made it guys
5400s	beautiful yeah let's do it
5404s	uh will you ever add settings for hiding
5407s	teammate abilities or scaling the
5409s	opacity or quality of their effects
5411s	slash projectiles possibly
5414s	um the really good question it's
5416s	something oh arena hold on uh
5421s	it's something that for a long time
5424s	we've been uh pushing is that whenever
5427s	there is going to be group play in the
5429s	game uh that we need to make sure that
5431s	the skills that we're developing the
5432s	visual VFX are not overpowering on the
5434s	screen
5435s	now that we are actually seeing this in
5439s	multiplayer there are some initial
5441s	actions that we're taking for example
5443s	you'll notice whenever uh meteor comes
5445s	down on my screen that you don't see the
5447s	targeting reticle on the ground that was
5450s	one of the first things that we saw was
5451s	like okay stuff like that is noisy and
5453s	so we can differentiate what visuals
5457s	happen on uh other players client versus
5460s	what's happening on the your player
5462s	client and so our first task is going to
5465s	be going through and seeing what we can
5467s	and need to change on that front and
5469s	we'll Implement those changes and then
5471s	if we see that there are still skills
5473s	that are making you know just just too
5474s	much screen clutter uh we'll go and
5476s	we'll probably implement ways to add
5479s	more transparency to those or what have
5481s	of you but making sure that the screen
5483s	and the play Space is very readable is
5485s	very very important to us
5490s	not yet
5495s	okay let's see if I can not die for like
5497s	two seconds
5499s	does the Le servers use lockstep
5501s	technology uh lockstep is a term that's
5504s	used specifically for
5507s	um Path of Exile and the way they do
5509s	things
5510s	um we we do things that are
5514s	um
5515s	they have similar
5518s	uh properties to it but is distinctly
5522s	different
5523s	um so technically no but we do things to
5526s	achieve similar goals
5530s	that's a fair way to say it yeah
5547s	when you guys add trade uh we're still
5550s	we're still digesting information from
5552s	the survey that we've sent out if we
5554s	want to or not uh what that's gonna look
5556s	like and we right now we're we're trying
5560s	to get as much feedback as possible we
5562s	have the entire design team spending a
5564s	lot of time reading all the comments
5566s	across our forums and Reddit and all of
5569s	our other social media
5571s	um and you know the trade trade is a
5573s	very divisive topic we knew that going
5575s	into it so there are definitely still
5577s	conversations going on about trade we're
5580s	not ready to commit to saying that
5582s	anything is going to change or anything
5585s	like that yet but there is a lot of
5588s	conversation going on and a lot of
5590s	ideation going on so it's always fun if
5593s	you guys have ideas for trade uh we do
5595s	love to read those and and that's what
5598s	I'll say is we're still discussing still
5600s	idea still ideas just the blanket
5602s	reminder though remember to be
5603s	respectful in those conversations and
5606s	if someone's not being respectful try
5609s	not to to meet them at that same point
5611s	try and just try the conversation to be
5613s	more respectful and and you know like
5615s	whenever I see suggestions that are that
5618s	are like well worded and are are not
5621s	overly aggressive I take them much more
5623s	seriously
5629s	we're we're still working on it it's and
5631s	it's like
5633s	who knows what'll happen yet
5638s	ideally we find something that is
5640s	inclusive to
5643s	more spectrums of the player base
5646s	um but we you know we we do have a solid
5648s	design goal that we want to make sure
5650s	that when you're playing the game uh
5652s	playing the game is always a fantastic
5654s	and uh
5655s	way to find good loot and it doesn't
5658s	feel like it's completely overpowered by
5659s	trade and that that it's a slippery
5662s	slope that we have to take into account
5664s	we have all these discussions yeah
5669s	all right uh any idea what's causing
5671s	characters to feel unresponsive while
5673s	kiting uh even while just holding right
5676s	click forwards characters behave
5678s	differently than in offline some skills
5680s	just lock your character in place it
5681s	doesn't behave like that in single
5682s	player things other areas uh other than
5684s	that Arena felt good that's good
5687s	um the answers yes and we're working on
5690s	it
5691s	yeah uh there's there's definitely a
5695s	number of things due to like animation
5697s	controllers and things like that that
5699s	we're working on addressing uh that we
5701s	are fairly confident that we're gonna
5702s	have in before 0.9 I don't think it
5704s	would be a blocker I don't think it
5706s	would push our release date or anything
5707s	if we didn't get them in plus our hotfix
5709s	cycle for 0.9 will probably slightly
5711s	longer than the patch cycles that we've
5712s	had in the past uh but yes we we do know
5715s	what is causing those and we're working
5716s	on addressing them and we see Hot Fish
5718s	hotfix cycle being longer you mean like
5720s	there's more time where we're willing to
5721s	put hot fixes out rather than time
5724s	between hot pencils yep yep
5728s	just wanted to clarify the term
5732s	really looking forward to The Bard class
5734s	oh it'll be interesting it'll be fun
5736s	well is that our is that our sixth class
5739s	guy is going to Bard and bunk and Shadow
5742s	priest is is that the plan that's that's
5744s	a weird class to get a barred Mark
5746s	Shadowrun
5747s	yeah I don't know how that fall together
5751s	we know that we know that people want a
5753s	uh like a the pure melee which there's
5758s	plenty of options to get that yeah at
5761s	the moment
5763s	yeah yeah but there's the people people
5765s	when they go to the characters like
5767s	screen they're like okay I just want to
5768s	be like the physical Bruiser what is my
5770s	path here
5771s	uh I think we can think we can do
5773s	something about that in the future quite
5775s	suggesting a Mesmer class yeah
5778s	love love that Guild Wars
5781s	I know it's not from Guild Wars
5783s	originally but that's where I first
5784s	learned about it
5785s	when Guild Wars 2 was coming out I was
5787s	so stoked for all of their class designs
5789s	I know
5792s	this didn't land not for me anyways I
5795s	didn't for me either unfortunately like
5797s	Guild Wars one was
5799s	like I I didn't I didn't hit the initial
5801s	wow train I was Guild Wars one to start
5803s	with oh really yeah I switched it well
5805s	eventually but like
5807s	yeah I played so much Guild Wars one in
5810s	the the Hall of uh Hall Heroes and uh it
5814s	was it was it I never played it but it
5815s	was this crazy thing it was like a this
5817s	PVP tournament this like knockout
5819s	tournament that um when you got to like
5821s	the end of it you'd have uh this this
5825s	three-way eight versus eight versus
5827s	eight
5828s	uh PVP battle and it was it was so
5831s	chaotic and so crazy it was tons of fun
5833s	it was yeah that was that was
5836s	basically just what I did in that game
5838s	was all heroes
5841s	looks like they're we know that there
5844s	are uh definitely more server
5845s	optimization ones that we can get with
5846s	Arena and I think we're experiencing the
5849s	need for that right now yeah
5853s	oh yeah no I'm I'm
5857s	there's no way that's 60 milliseconds
5859s	that it's telling you is accurate but
5861s	this this is great though because this
5863s	is the type of data that we were hoping
5865s	to get by releasing arena in this hotfix
5867s	so this is this is good that we're
5870s	encountering this now
5872s	speaking of stash tabs how do you feel
5874s	about players need to set up their stash
5875s	tabs every cycle that's a good question
5878s	um
5879s	I think it's important because they're
5882s	purchased with an in-game resource I
5885s	think it's important that they're that
5886s	they're being repurchased every cycle
5889s	um
5890s	setting up the configuration of those uh
5894s	every time I can see being tedious but
5896s	and like
5897s	I don't know having some sort of like
5898s	way to like save configurations like
5900s	your first stash tab is always like this
5902s	and your second stash dab is always like
5904s	this and then when it's like when you
5905s	buy your second stash that just like
5906s	Auto configures it like you're saying
5908s	smash that defaults or something that
5909s	would be cool
5911s	um and that could be stored client-side
5913s	so it's not a big deal
5915s	um
5916s	I don't know
5918s	it's it's definitely interesting but I
5919s	think it I think it needs to be at least
5921s	a little bit config reconfigurable every
5923s	single time because they're purchased
5924s	with a a an in-game currency
5932s	being realistic there right it's it's
5934s	probably that you know uh people will
5936s	need to purchase the new ones and
5938s	reconfigure them each time at least
5940s	initially yeah
5942s	all right uh chiptastic asks hey first
5945s	time checking out the stream welcome
5946s	I've been loving CT and multiplayer beta
5949s	test was wondering if I could get a
5950s	button that says your character is
5952s	killing voice line on command
5955s	uh can't get enough of easy too easy
5962s	no probably not I think I think the
5964s	server's Hooper day
5966s	yeah I'm already I'm already reinviting
5968s	uh yes I have quiet I don't have quiet
5971s	on my friends list the connection
5973s	timeout is appropriate for my level of
5975s	patience apparently because as soon as I
5977s	was like all right I'm done with this
5978s	connection timeout shows up
5990s	all right here speaking of MTX hopefully
5993s	we'll see a uh bacon skin for shadow
5997s	Beacon
5999s	okay
6003s	yeah that's blessed yeah yeah going
6006s	forward after 0.9 launch uh MTX meteor
6009s	MTX when when it's ready weirdly enough
6011s	I haven't thought about meteor MTX a
6014s	whole lot if anybody has any suggestions
6016s	for what a really cool meteor MTX would
6018s	be I will I'll put that near the top of
6021s	the list I'll make sure that there's a
6023s	really complicated way to unlock a
6025s	pseudo meteor MTX in 1.0
6028s	yes yeah
6031s	uh
6033s	and you can save that for later everyone
6039s	uh yeah I see monologues so that was it
6041s	was buggy which is expected until they
6044s	understand the complication of the loot
6045s	issue but can you all share your largest
6047s	concerns over trade like what is the
6049s	nightmare scenario the nightmare
6051s	scenario is just that
6053s	um
6054s	playing like going out into the world
6056s	adventuring to find gear is strictly
6060s	worse as far as how well how quickly you
6062s	can obtain the gear how
6066s	um
6066s	uh the the like if you're good if you're
6069s	gonna do any sort of competition
6071s	whatsoever or any sort of like trying to
6073s	be powerful in the game that the clear
6076s	and obvious way to do that is by always
6079s	just going to the shop and and buying
6082s	whatever piece of gear you want
6084s	um and you're you're basically ignoring
6086s	almost all the drops you get except for
6089s	a very select few Mega drops and other
6092s	than that you're just like it doesn't
6093s	matter what drops if if one of these
6095s	Mega drops drops great I'll pick it up
6096s	and sell it but other than that I'm
6098s	basically just going to the shop and
6100s	buying everything all the time for all
6102s	players I think it's important to note
6103s	that that this is
6105s	that's the nightmare scenario and I used
6108s	a lot of terms that are really extreme
6110s	in that
6111s	um so like like always and for all
6114s	players and it's just like it's it's
6116s	getting to that that extreme that's like
6117s	the nightmare scenario
6122s	I don't know if you wanna
6125s	have when you have a larger like a
6128s	global economy and there's no
6129s	restrictions it just very quickly
6130s	becomes a
6132s	when there's there's so much access to
6135s	Great gear from the economy that
6139s	it's
6141s	it would be silly not to go and get your
6143s	gear that way which means that when you
6146s	play the game the likelihood that you
6147s	find upgrades for your gear is extremely
6149s	small uh and and we want to mitigate
6152s	that but there there definitely are
6153s	design goals that we would have if we
6155s	were to implement uh trade in in some
6158s	manner uh you know we're even when we're
6160s	brainstorming right now internally uh
6162s	open trade like a completely open trade
6164s	economy is not really something that
6166s	we're uh discussing but there there may
6169s	be ways that we can do things like give
6172s	items external value and and have some
6174s	way to exchange things that makes good
6176s	sense for the way the last Epoch is
6178s	designed but uh again there we're still
6181s	in discussions about it we're listening
6183s	to everybody uh there's you know there's
6185s	plenty of people that have some very
6186s	interesting uh suggestions that you do
6190s	make their way internal and we do have
6191s	conversations on those so
6194s	yeah the conversation's not over it
6196s	never was over it's it's that's
6198s	something I think it's really important
6199s	to note as well it's not like the
6200s	conversation stopped and then something
6202s	happened and we reopened the
6204s	conversation now the conversation just
6205s	never stopped yeah I think I think maybe
6208s	the way that we were that I'd have been
6210s	gifting post made it made it feel more
6212s	final than we intended it to yeah
6216s	because you know item gifting initially
6219s	was like this is something that we can
6220s	get in for 0.9 so people that are
6222s	playing with each other can exchange
6223s	items uh
6226s	with that you know the scope wasn't all
6228s	too large and we could actually actually
6229s	get in yeah
6232s	I'm nervous to even talk about it that
6234s	much because I I don't you know it's uh
6237s	there's there's still just a lot of
6240s	discussions that we need to have
6241s	internally
6243s	yep
6244s	and they're happening every day
6246s	a lot yes and and after hours or
6250s	evenings are
6252s	for some of us our evenings are trade
6254s	discussions right now
6261s	clay just sent me a picture of of him
6264s	fighting in space
6266s	uh yeah yeah so we know we know what
6269s	that bug is whenever um
6270s	you haven't unlocked a monolith the
6273s	first time that you come into it the the
6275s	floor is not there but that is that is
6278s	what we'll absolutely fix before it's
6279s	opening
6291s	where's the question there it is
6295s	uh going forward uh after 0.9 launch
6299s	what kind of patch Cadence will we see
6301s	uh we don't have a specific number like
6303s	like I'm not gonna say like oh it'll be
6306s	every X months or it'll be every X weeks
6307s	or anything like that
6309s	um but it will be
6312s	um much more much more frequently than
6315s	than what was eight five to point nine
6318s	um and and we are we are aiming to get
6320s	back to a regular Cadence and much more
6323s	reminiscent of what happened pre
6325s	eight five so like yeah yeah
6328s	yeah you're the community's best
6330s	reference for that is just to go and
6332s	look at the release cycle that we had
6334s	before this very extended Dev cycle uh
6339s	with this debt cycle the reason that we
6341s	stopped releasing content for as long as
6343s	we did is because we hit a point of no
6345s	return with multiplayer development
6347s	where uh when on our development
6349s	branches we
6351s	we could no longer make single player
6354s	builds without it being a huge
6357s	undertaking because we had a lot of
6359s	multiplayer logic in place and so we we
6362s	had to get to the end of that before we
6364s	released new content we could have taken
6366s	other routes but it would have resulted
6368s	in multiplayer coming later than it is
6370s	right now and we really needed to just
6373s	buckle down and get the multiplayer side
6374s	of this done
6381s	any chance of a future post-mortem at a
6385s	Dev conference I mean yeah
6388s	if if one of them wants to have us and
6390s	thinks we got cool stuff to say I I know
6394s	a few people that would probably go in
6395s	on on something like that
6397s	I know I would but I'm probably not the
6399s	best person to do it
6401s	uh also I always ask this uh but curious
6404s	if work is being done uh for the API in
6407s	parallel with multiplayer work or
6408s	something that will be designed and
6410s	implemented afterwards
6411s	um I mean there is work being done on
6414s	some apis depends what API you're
6415s	talking about
6417s	um if you're talking about something
6418s	that just like collects data from the
6420s	game as far as like
6423s	um all the information about all the
6424s	swords in the game and stuff like that I
6425s	don't think anything's being actively
6426s	worked on for that right now
6430s	uh the melee class should be uh reptile
6433s	Brute
6435s	oh I like a different different
6437s	um race
6438s	yeah yeah how do you guys feel about uh
6441s	the future of epoch having different
6443s	playable race classes instead of just
6446s	humans
6448s	be interested to hear that one
6450s	sorry it's been asked before but do you
6453s	happen to have an ETA on patch notes 4.9
6457s	uh and do you consider to release it in
6459s	separate days due to the volume of
6461s	changes
6462s	uh oh like like
6464s	um it'll likely be pretty close to the
6466s	release of 0.9 the 0.9 patch notes will
6468s	come out
6470s	um
6471s	the
6474s	I'm still laggy I don't know how that
6476s	uh that that Echo finish successfully
6479s	yeah yeah we're doing a job on the
6480s	servers right now uh and I'm glad
6483s	because even when we had the event where
6484s	we were trying to break the servers it
6486s	was challenging so the fact that we're
6487s	actually doing that and getting that
6489s	data right now uh I'll take it yeah
6492s	foreign
6502s	and largely that's due to the fact that
6505s	the patch notes that we have pulled up
6507s	right now are ludicrous there's like 60
6510s	pages of patch notes so when we present
6513s	that to the community we need to
6515s	aggregate it and and make probably
6517s	sections near the top that are more
6519s	concise uh so so that people don't feel
6522s	like they have to go through 60 pages of
6524s	stuff to find the good bits
6527s	um it's a lot like we we have not been
6530s	sitting on our hands for the last nine
6531s	months I promise you that yeah
6534s	as as evident by a lot of the stuff that
6536s	people are finding in this test I think
6540s	um all right so I know sure you've
6542s	answered this a thousand times why not
6543s	make it 1001. how is he is she enjoying
6545s	the Theta test period
6549s	right
6550s	I I mean I mean it's an absolute dream
6554s	to get to this point we have we have
6557s	wanted to be here for five years six
6560s	years now so the fact that we're
6562s	actually able to play with one another
6564s	is
6565s	incredible
6567s	yeah
6572s	and like all the like there's issues and
6575s	stuff happening in these multiplayer
6576s	tests and you know we we always expected
6578s	that but looking at the bugs that exist
6580s	here they are
6582s	nothing burgers in comparison like we're
6585s	gonna be able to chew through all of
6586s	these bugs and then we're gonna be able
6587s	to get it in a really good State
6589s	um just the fact that we're here is just
6592s	amazing yeah
6597s	meteor MTX giant beehive crashes down or
6600s	first meteor MTX should be gross that's
6603s	very fitting actually I'm gonna go to
6605s	Discord I'm gonna write down the Beehive
6606s	one because that that's Epoch right
6609s	there not not what I was referencing
6611s	though
6612s	foreign
6615s	tyx can you please uh sell them with
6617s	color palettes not just static looks uh
6620s	initially at least they are static
6622s	uh are there plans to add more timelines
6625s	to the end game uh yeah I think there
6628s	would likely be um like so you're asking
6630s	like more more new islands here
6633s	um I think likely what would happen the
6636s	volume probably wouldn't change too much
6638s	um just because it becomes a little
6639s	overwhelming in the system where you
6641s	need to complete each one of them to
6642s	finish
6643s	um I think likely and you complete each
6646s	one of them many times in order to get
6647s	the one the blessings you want
6649s	um either it'll be some sort of change
6650s	there where that's easier to do or it
6652s	would be more along the lines of
6653s	replacing timelines or like like like a
6657s	timeline becomes corrupted or or like
6660s	someone invades a timeline and the whole
6662s	thing gets changed and it's still the
6664s	same timeline with like a Twist or
6665s	something like so there's there's
6666s	definitely a lot of room for just
6668s	realizing how they're laid out even what
6670s	levels they show up at there's lots of
6671s	room for doing things like that in the
6672s	model system and then that will happen
6675s	so it's definitely won't be static
6677s	that's the sort of thing that you'll see
6678s	in content in a cycle content I think
6680s	yeah I I the only thing to add to that
6682s	for me is just I I really want people to
6685s	understand that after 1.0 in-game
6688s	becomes a huge Focus for us
6692s	extending it in terms of the item hunt
6694s	the content available the systems adding
6698s	on just a few layers of complexity we
6700s	don't want the game to be uh super
6702s	complex for new people that are coming
6704s	in but there's there's definitely things
6705s	that we can add before we get too too
6707s	complex there in game will continue to
6711s	be a major major Focus post 1.0 yeah and
6715s	even going into 1.0 a bit
6719s	all right so if it's important to always
6720s	find good loot and upgrades uh and then
6723s	why is LP an exalted curve so messed up
6726s	um a little bit of conflation of stuff
6727s	here uh you hit hard gear wall when
6730s	you're not progressing past that because
6731s	something like triple exalted is too
6733s	rare without trade uh and even with
6735s	trade I think there's a lot of
6737s	assumptions there and I don't really
6738s	want to address all of them
6740s	um
6740s	the the the I think the underlying
6743s	concern that you're trying to bring up
6744s	is about
6745s	um just like your progression curves and
6747s	and they're definitely not perfect and
6749s	it's definitely something that we are
6750s	looking at uh improving as we go but um
6753s	uh
6755s	I I I don't think it's quite as uh
6760s	Extreme as
6762s	as what's being presented there possibly
6768s	all right so while I love access to
6769s	haste and frenzy with transplant only
6771s	last three seconds uh the downtime
6773s	breaks the flow quite a bit while
6775s	playing in the end game any points into
6776s	these ways progression based ideally
6778s	that would expand above like that
6781s	um
6782s	it's
6783s	so um modifying the buff itself
6787s	uh is very unlikely
6790s	um a lot of those Buffs have
6794s	um pretty fixed durations intentionally
6796s	it's it's done possible
6799s	um
6802s	I think part of
6808s	yeah how does this there might be spots
6810s	with this room for that I think most of
6811s	the time it's not ideal and having those
6815s	those pretty intense speed UPS be
6818s	um not consistent up time is intentional
6821s	yeah we're careful about making the game
6824s	too Zoomy and we do that strategically
6832s	this way guys
6838s	uh would it be better to treat it like
6840s	Peewee make Leagues with one one with
6842s	traded one without trade yeah so ideally
6844s	and this is
6846s	this is a topic that's coming from the
6847s	forums a little bit here
6849s	um
6850s	the uh I ideally we if we're going to
6854s	introduce a trade system
6856s	uh in like a perfect in a perfect world
6858s	if we're talking rainbows and
6859s	butterflies and everything's perfect
6861s	um
6862s	the whatever system gets issues for
6864s	trade it wouldn't have a a player based
6868s	split associated with it so people who
6871s	were
6872s	um who were wanting to play in a trade
6874s	environment and people who were wanting
6875s	to play outside of a trade environment
6876s	would still be able to physically play
6878s	together and having it be a hard a hard
6881s	um
6882s	uh separated
6884s	environment like that wouldn't be ideal
6886s	it might be what needs to happen if
6887s	we're gonna do something like that who
6888s	knows yet
6890s	um
6892s	but I ideally
6897s	ideally there'd be uh there wouldn't be
6899s	a a
6902s	player-based segregation completely as
6904s	far as who can play with who
6906s	because maybe maybe you really like
6908s	trade and your friend really doesn't but
6910s	you still want to be able to play
6911s	together
6913s	I I have a lot of thoughts on that I
6915s	probably I don't want to dive into that
6917s	too deep though yeah I'm really really
6919s	just talking like purely hypothetical in
6921s	a perfect world yeah yeah what if what
6924s	if you could wave your magic wand and
6925s	have something happen
6927s	that would be that would be an ideal
6928s	element to it
6930s	um
6931s	definitely not saying that's possible
6935s	that's what that's one of the issues
6937s	with just saying okay there's there's
6939s	there's two games
6941s	you know that's basically what it is
6965s	that's good says I appreciate that
6966s	answer and better understand some of the
6968s	issues thanks when do you plan to
6970s	officially open uh I don't know what
6972s	your old question was
6974s	scroll back up
6978s	I mean March 9th is the
6988s	oh you asked like like when when are we
6990s	gonna talk about what like open up our
6992s	talking about trade to say what it's
6995s	actually going to be and all sort of
6996s	stuff I think that's what you're asking
6998s	um because the last topic was last
7000s	question was really betrayed and and the
7001s	answer to that is once we know what
7003s	we're gonna do
7005s	we'll we'll start talking about it
7006s	because we don't know what we're gonna
7007s	do yet yeah it might be that we end up
7011s	presenting some ideas and getting
7013s	Community feedback on it or yeah
7018s	there's definitely no timeline on that
7019s	right now though
7020s	yeah
7022s	any updates on the crit revamp I have no
7025s	idea what happened with that
7026s	for for now it's not there
7029s	dancing about when oh I want a dancing
7031s	mode so bad
7034s	actually guys please give uh at least
7037s	stop calling Minimus stupid He's a brave
7040s	and loyal dog that's just that one
7042s	person who eats it anyways
7044s	I wonder how many people know of uh
7048s	Maximus Minimus yeah minimus's origin
7051s	story
7055s	you stupid butt
7059s	there's a whole there's a whole
7060s	backstory around Minimus and everything
7061s	it's it's not just a
7063s	that one line
7065s	I'm so dead we need a we need a dog in
7068s	the game that we can pet yeah
7071s	how about a box you can check on
7073s	character creation where you hit I want
7074s	to trade or just allow other player base
7075s	to play together
7077s	that's
7080s	um that's what I'm talking about like it
7081s	it splits it right
7083s	and I'm not saying that's that's
7085s	impossible or wrong but just that says
7088s	someone asked what's wrong with it
7090s	that's what's that's one thing that's
7091s	wrong with it
7092s	um so Harvest uh as a skill once curses
7095s	on targets yes is that waiting for
7098s	warlock to be good or is it getting
7099s	above soon I like Harvest I mean there's
7101s	already two two prime curse options for
7104s	that so I I don't think it's waiting
7106s	necessarily
7107s	um
7111s	we can do the new re-performing for 0.9
7113s	mic
7115s	I think so
7118s	I also don't remember if warlock has any
7120s	new curses or not
7125s	I can't remember sorry
7128s	um
7128s	I'm not really trying to get back in
7130s	because we only got two minutes left but
7132s	oh sorry knowing the game is going to be
7134s	out of beta like full release uh we do
7135s	not have a set date for full release yet
7138s	um like point nine is March 9th that's
7140s	the next date we don't have any dates
7142s	after that depending on how well that
7144s	goes we'll determine when the next uh uh
7147s	when the next stage of release happens
7150s	um but probably after 0.9 releases we
7152s	will see more frequent major passions so
7156s	you'll see like one of our
7158s	one of our big goals when we release 0.9
7160s	is just to make sure that we're uh
7162s	putting content out regularly again so
7165s	you guys will be getting additional
7167s	content uh
7170s	way more frequently than happened in
7172s	2022. definitely
7176s	uh any hints on the remaining Shaman
7178s	skills or skill updates not really much
7180s	I can say that I haven't said already
7182s	um there's at least one you can talk
7183s	about
7188s	I'm gonna be a pretty big overhaul it's
7191s	gonna it's gonna have a new identity
7193s	it's not really gonna be sitting in the
7195s	same space as do I pick serpent strike
7197s	swipe or temperature it's not gonna fit
7199s	in that space anymore
7202s	um it's gonna scale off attack speed
7206s	um okay what else it's about all I said
7208s	about it's gonna be a lot heavier a lot
7209s	bigger skill
7210s	um
7212s	we've got thorns
7214s	iTunes is going
7216s	I know I've said that a million times
7218s	over the years and No One Believes me
7220s	anymore but it is
7230s	and yeah there's there's
7235s	another melee skill coming in to replace
7237s	the place the Tempest strike holds
7242s	uh and there's
7245s	not really much else to say there's is
7247s	there there's a new totem skill I think
7249s	at some point
7251s	could be wrong with that one
7253s	is there a Newton scale our new Branch
7255s	to an existing totem scale camera which
7256s	one it is
7259s	uh last trying to remember conversations
7262s	on totems that we've had internally I've
7264s	got the notes I've got the notes that
7266s	starts my computer starts up nice nice
7269s	uh do you think dancing strikes is the
7271s	right place can't seem to nail a fitting
7273s	kneesport uh it's it's pretty good but
7275s	maybe it's not quite as good as other
7277s	skills um I'm sure skills will go
7279s	through ebb and flow of being good or
7280s	bad
7281s	uh Leslie give us a frog race oh yeah
7283s	you know how to you know how to hit
7284s	those those hard strings uh when is the
7287s	last character wipe
7289s	um so the characters existing in the
7291s	multiplayer preview events are not
7293s	permanent characters
7295s	um so they're getting wiped but they're
7297s	not ever really there if that makes any
7300s	sense
7301s	um so on on the 12th when this event
7303s	finishes all the characters you're
7304s	playing in this event will go bye-bye
7307s	um there's a new event that'll start uh
7310s	two weeks after that a week after 23rd
7313s	um
7314s	11 days after that that those characters
7316s	they'll be fresh start uh when those
7318s	finish those characters are gone
7320s	um and then 0.9 starts and they're all
7323s	fresh characters uh for multiplayer all
7326s	of your offline characters anything
7327s	you're playing in eight five right now
7329s	will continue to exist and be playable
7331s	offline as normal like nothing changed
7334s	um they just won't come to online I see
7336s	this one somehow all over the place and
7338s	I I like I reply every time I see it to
7341s	say no it's wrong people say that your
7343s	multiple characters are getting shipped
7344s	to offline that's not happening no
7348s	um we've never said that and I've said
7349s	many times the exact opposite of it so
7351s	that's not happening
7353s	um
7354s	and uh when 0.9 goes to 1.0 uh the goal
7358s	is to this is a little far away so we
7360s	don't know exactly what's going to
7361s	happen when when 0.9 goes to 1.0 the
7363s	goal is to take all those characters and
7364s	put them into a standard environment so
7365s	they're still available to play but they
7367s	won't be uh fresh cycle characters when
7369s	1.0 launches as like uh this is the
7371s	latest ladder and everything like that
7372s	so they'll still be playable and
7373s	available and if you're not interested
7374s	in competing on the new ladder no
7377s	problem
7378s	they're good for you
7380s	I wanted to say CTS will keep their
7382s	characters right um everybody at 0.9
7385s	will be required to start fresh
7388s	yeah yeah
7390s	uh all right gonna just rattle through a
7392s	couple more these we are overtime some
7393s	at some point I'm gonna stop answering
7395s	these uh well I love the X's to haste
7397s	and frenzy with translating the last
7398s	three seconds the downtime oh day
7403s	maybe not the downtime breaks the flow
7405s	quite a bit while playing in the end
7406s	game uh having to transplant in place on
7409s	cooldown just the buff breaks the flow
7411s	sometimes to be able to do any plans to
7412s	introduce Waze progression based ideally
7415s	I feel like I read this that you'd be
7416s	willing to expand the buff like that
7417s	probably not
7420s	um still
7421s	I feel like I read that already maybe
7423s	not the um
7426s	I mean give what you just said I could
7428s	see being like a minimum distance
7429s	transplanted in order to get the buff uh
7432s	uh I don't know just just like
7434s	transplanting in place to replace
7436s	refresh the buff is not ideal play
7438s	experience I don't know how we'd fix
7439s	that
7440s	uh do you guys have a proper channel to
7442s	submit ideas to you yes we have a
7444s	suggestions and like to see Channel and
7446s	Discord we also have a suggestions and
7448s	feedback channel on our forums those are
7451s	the best places you can also put them in
7452s	other places too but those are the best
7453s	ones March 9 how long will those created
7456s	after characters live till next player
7458s	white cycle always included forever
7460s	unless something goes wrong
7462s	um would like to know if it's possible
7464s	for you guys to update some of the
7465s	concept art you have on the website the
7467s	character looks pretty old with like
7469s	some more images
7470s	yeah that's a great Point yes yes yes so
7473s	what website desperately needs an update
7476s	is not reflective of the game in its
7478s	current state uh well it'll get up there
7480s	it's it's just not ranked at the highest
7482s	priority yet
7484s	uh all right uh have you thought about
7486s	giving us more uh conversion based
7489s	uniques gives more options to build IE
7491s	screen since it has the weakest unique
7493s	pool for build enablers yes uh we have
7495s	considered giving more of these and we
7497s	will
7499s	yep there's there'll be more uniques in
7501s	every sort of type coming down the pipe
7503s	uh flowing in as we go
7506s	um and we'll always be introducing the
7508s	uniques yeah if you guys have ideas for
7510s	cool unique stuff like let us know
7514s	great I think that's it
7517s	um thank you very much for coming out
