| 56s | we're just gonna be playing through the |
| 57s | monolith |
| 58s | um i'll probably head on into some |
| 62s | uh some dungeons as well because |
| 64s | it's been a little bit since i've done |
| 66s | one in this character |
| 69s | we've got a few levels recently |
| 76s | i might be able to handle it a little |
| 77s | bit better we were a little under level |
| 78s | before |
| 80s | and our gear was a little crappy |
| 84s | i'm going the wrong way |
| 91s | and for anyone here who's their first |
| 92s | time we do also stream for charity so |
| 95s | any and all money that comes in from the |
| 97s | stream goes directly to them right now |
| 99s | our charity is |
| 101s | uh saint |
| 102s | jude's research children's hospital i |
| 105s | think |
| 106s | i'm pretty sure that's what it is |
| 114s | research might be wrong |
| 117s | the hospital helps kids |
| 126s | while we're just getting things going |
| 128s | here in other news |
| 130s | i got a 3d printer |
| 133s | yeah |
| 140s | it's pretty awesome |
| 143s | it's one of the like really bare ones |
| 145s | basic ones but |
| 148s | you know |
| 150s | it can make small figurines that do |
| 151s | nothing |
| 157s | you want me throw the the hat yeah it's |
| 160s | a good hat |
| 162s | i found a better helmet and i was |
| 163s | considering uh trying to |
| 165s | build with it but it doesn't look as |
| 167s | cool so |
| 168s | the hat stays |
| 183s | oh i know what's today |
| 187s | today is |
| 189s | uh one of four streams a year |
| 191s | that is going to be extremely light |
| 195s | uh with very few people here and that's |
| 197s | totally okay |
| 200s | but i don't know why i didn't click but |
| 202s | so today is |
| 204s | uh there's another game |
| 206s | in the genre that releases a patch today |
| 209s | pretty sure it's today |
| 213s | it probably came out like two hours ago |
| 219s | it's mildly popular you know just a |
| 221s | little bit whatever |
| 224s | but we like to stream anyways i'll have |
| 226s | a fun time here |
| 228s | if anyone has some some questions they |
| 230s | want answered i will be happy to do that |
| 232s | 3d print you a barbarian mastery i don't |
| 235s | think that's how it works really |
| 237s | nope just started okay |
| 242s | hello |
| 243s | douglas how's it going |

| 279s | oh you're cued to get in yet |
| 284s | all right |
| 286s | let's get a unique item right why not eh |
| 297s | the bottom of my right foot is |
| 299s | incredibly itchy and i have no idea why |
| 301s | it just started right as the stream |
| 303s | started it was like your foot's going to |
| 304s | be really itchy |
| 306s | trying to scratch it on the floor my |
| 308s | other foot |
| 310s | it's not working |
| 331s | we had our uh first |
| 334s | multiplayer test |
| 336s | with people that were not |
| 339s | ehg staff |
| 341s | the very first time anyone who wasn't |
| 342s | ehg staff ever played our multiplayer |
| 345s | happened on |
| 347s | tuesday |
| 350s | some ct's got in there went really well |
| 353s | it was awesome |
| 354s | had a ton of fun |
| 356s | i wasn't actually playing no not i there |
| 358s | was a few people i think of our team |
| 360s | that were playing with them |
| 361s | but uh |
| 363s | i wasn't i was just hopping around the |
| 365s | groups and watching what was going on |
| 369s | yeah it was a ton of fun |
| 380s | like i don't want to say it went like |
| 382s | better than expected or worse than |
| 383s | expected but like i don't know with |
| 385s | something like that you're always |
| 386s | there's always a small part of you |
| 387s | that's nervous regardless of how much |
| 389s | you prepared for it like i don't know |
| 391s | you ever take like a test that you like |
| 393s | you prepared for a lot |
| 395s | but still it's you're like the lead up |
| 397s | to it you're nervous and like what's |
| 399s | gonna happen who knows it was still like |
| 402s | that |
| 402s | um |
| 404s | luckily we studied really well and |
| 407s | the worries were for naught |
| 414s | you don't think i'm sending in-game |
| 416s | sound oh no |
| 418s | oh you're totally right |
| 426s | how's that |
| 435s | my headset did that thing where it's |
| 436s | like i'm gonna pretend like i'm not the |
| 438s | same headset i was even though nothing |
| 440s | changed and you didn't unplug me at all |
| 454s | the hardware of this headset is |
| 456s | wonderful |
| 462s | we'll leave it at that |
| 471s | i was doing channeling stuff |
| 474s | lightning work don't have any of those |
| 477s | things the most anti-my build item ever |
| 482s | all right where are we let's get some uh |
| 485s | some experience nodes |
| 488s | because i want a level |
| 492s | no experience nodes oh there's one all |
| 495s | right let's go for it |
| 497s | there's another one above two as well |
| 501s | yeah oh yeah okay i i didn't actually |
| 503s | see that question but yes the test went |
| 505s | great |
| 506s | um |
| 509s | i i don't i don't have any info on like |
| 511s | when's the next test or anything like |
| 512s | that |
| 513s | um |
| 514s | or like uh when when is it gonna be open |
| 517s | for |
| 518s | uh getting into it for other people or |
| 520s | anything like that i don't know any of |
| 521s | that info |
| 523s | um |
| 527s | but yeah i am |
| 530s | really excited for the next one |
| 532s | i don't know when that's gonna be either |
| 534s | i have so little information on it but |
| 536s | it yeah it was a lot of fun it went |
| 537s | really well um |
| 543s | we didn't there were there weren't any |
| 544s | like |
| 546s | oh my god oh no everything's collapsing |
| 549s | moments which was really nice |
| 566s | bow damage shard even i've got 100 i'll |
| 568s | still take it |
| 572s | random name x |
| 574s | uh since uniques are all thanks thanks |
| 576s | for reposting with with the tag i |
| 577s | appreciate it |
| 579s | uh since uniques are so easy to make why |
| 582s | don't you guys just throw together a |
| 584s | dozen build changing uniques and throw |
| 586s | us non-ct's a bone instead of making |
| 589s | us wait six months for a patch feels bad |
| 592s | man um so okay uniques are |
| 596s | um |
| 598s | uniques are not super easy to make oh |
| 600s | first let's start there there's there's |
| 602s | a lot that goes into making unique um |
| 605s | there's lots of different stages some |
| 607s | stages of making uniques are really easy |
| 610s | uh and some stages of making uniques are |
| 611s | really easy compared to others so |
| 613s | there's um |
| 614s | [Music] |
| 616s | like there's there's the |
| 618s | ideation stage where you're just like |
| 620s | picking what it's going to be |
| 622s | um |
| 622s | and that's surprisingly involved |
| 624s | actually just getting like the exact |
| 626s | stats that are going to show up on it |
| 627s | even though the exact that's just like |
| 629s | the rough stats and just getting that |
| 631s | laid out where it's not gonna break the |
| 632s | game obviously and it's gonna be |
| 634s | exciting and it's gonna like all the all |
| 637s | these things just getting that |
| 638s | decided upon |
| 640s | is surprisingly involved time wise oh we |
| 643s | got a bunch of stuff oh deadlifts has |
| 645s | give this up to father toast |
| 648s | thank you very much and congrats to |
| 649s | father toast |
| 655s | is |
| 657s | your son's name bread |
| 661s | brad there's the joke |
| 663s | i missed it by that much anyways um |
| 669s | uh the i think the easiest part about |
| 671s | making a unique is actually like taking |
| 673s | the is getting the functionality running |
| 675s | for the most part sometimes there's |
| 676s | really difficult things to do for it if |
| 678s | it's a really specialized feature but |
| 680s | like |
| 681s | lots of the time ooh a temporal center |
| 682s | key |
| 684s | lots of times just getting the item from |
| 687s | this is what i want to it's in the game |
| 688s | and it works is actually pretty easy |
| 691s | oh |
| 692s | big cdr that's nice um |
| 696s | and |
| 697s | and then there's the art as well which |
| 699s | can happen pretty quick but uh |
| 704s | there's there's a lot of other things |
| 706s | that that go on at the same time |
| 708s | um and then what probably takes the the |
| 710s | longest part of the process actually |
| 712s | is um |
| 714s | balancing tuning and testing |
| 717s | and |
| 718s | um when i say time i'm also not |
| 720s | referring to |
| 721s | like just number of days i i guess |
| 724s | referring to time more of uh from a man |
| 726s | hours perspective or a person hours or |
| 729s | uh development time perspective so like |
| 732s | how many |
| 733s | hours is spent in total so if if 10 |
| 736s | people spend one hour each that's 10 |
| 737s | hours or if one person spends 10 hours |
| 739s | on it that's 10 hours um |
| 742s | and because at this stage you get a lot |
| 743s | more we get a lot of people involved in |
| 745s | it um you end up with a lot of time |
| 747s | investment |
| 749s | and so quite often we do like to do a |
| 750s | bunch of them all together |
| 752s | um |
| 753s | but the key thing is that if we did |
| 755s | decide to do like a unique pack |
| 757s | um |
| 759s | it it also |
| 761s | delays all the other things we're |
| 762s | working on |
| 767s | because we we'd like to |
| 769s | i guess |
| 771s | limit the limit the number of things |
| 773s | you're working on simultaneously |
| 775s | um |
| 778s | because quite often working on like |
| 779s | eight things at the same time like |
| 781s | context switching tapes takes a long |
| 782s | time fun fact about uh |
| 784s | like little aside here context switching |
| 787s | takes a lot of brain power compared to |
| 789s | keeping on the same uh thread so there |
| 792s | was a um |
| 794s | a jeopardy contestant i don't remember |
| 796s | his name not ken jennings but like the |
| 798s | next |
| 799s | highest total winnings and but then he's |
| 802s | also the guy that won the most |
| 805s | per episode he was on so he didn't last |
| 807s | as long as ken jennings but he won more |
| 809s | per episode um can't remember his name |
| 811s | but he he pioneered |
| 813s | he like quit his job |
| 815s | and practiced for a couple years where |
| 817s | he pioneered a technique where he would |
| 819s | um bounce around the board and up until |
| 821s | this point everyone would get in the |
| 823s | category they like and just run the |
| 825s | whole category down |
| 826s | but it worked really well because if |
| 827s | you're in a category you're good at and |
| 829s | you can run the board down um you can |
| 830s | get them all lots of points really |
| 832s | quickly but at the same time everyone |
| 833s | else gets used to that category and gets |
| 836s | comfortable and starts answering them |
| 837s | and they can jump in and steal |
| 839s | and so this guy he |
| 841s | practiced jeopardy questions by context |
| 843s | switching really quick by bouncing |
| 844s | around categories was never the same |
| 846s | category twice |
| 847s | um |
| 848s | and and this led to a technique where by |
| 850s | jumping around and context switching so |
| 852s | much |
| 853s | and all the other contestants were just |
| 855s | sitting there confused and they couldn't |
| 857s | get a handle on it and |
| 859s | he would just run away with games like |
| 861s | crazy |
| 862s | he did he did quite a few other things |
| 863s | as well it wasn't just that but that was |
| 865s | like the big thing and it actually had |
| 867s | this ripple effect throughout the |
| 869s | jeopardy uh the world is as as a whole |
| 872s | where suddenly everyone started |
| 874s | practicing this way and doing this it's |
| 876s | common practice now in jeopardy and he |
| 877s | changed the whole face of how jeopardy |
| 879s | is played which i think is really cool |
| 880s | that a game that have been around for |
| 881s | that long can get like an entire |
| 884s | strategy revamp with no rule changes |
| 886s | like someone just discovered something |
| 888s | new i think it's really cool |
| 890s | um |
| 890s | it's like someone discovers a new |
| 892s | technique in a speedrunning glitch or |
| 893s | something you know |
| 894s | anyways um |
| 896s | what am i getting at here so it's a |
| 898s | similar thing with work with with um |
| 901s | with game development anything really |
| 903s | context switching takes time |
| 905s | um |
| 906s | and so question we try to limit that if |
| 909s | possible and so we'll try and do a whole |
| 911s | bunch of of items all at once |
| 914s | and it's |
| 916s | there are things you can put on the back |
| 917s | burner and just be like okay well every |
| 918s | day i'll work a little bit on this as |
| 920s | sort of like a cool down or something |
| 921s | that's easy to do and that works too but |
| 923s | um |
| 925s | we we we like to bundle things together |
| 927s | when we can |
| 930s | i was right it was saint jude's |
| 931s | children's research hospital ha ha |
| 932s | nailed it |
| 934s | sorry i just saw the notice pop up |
| 936s | anyways um |
| 939s | that's that's one reason why we and and |
| 941s | okay then on top of that as well um |
| 944s | quite often you can get there's there's |
| 947s | there's very few knock-on effects for |
| 949s | unique items |
| 951s | so we can quite often get quite a lot of |
| 955s | unique items done near the end of a |
| 956s | patch cycle |
| 957s | and |
| 960s | it doesn't really cause problems |
| 962s | elsewhere in the game very often |
| 964s | sometimes it does but normally we can do |
| 966s | it without without big issues so we we |
| 968s | like to shift that towards the end of |
| 970s | the of the patch cycle now i will say |
| 972s | that we are going to be in a longer |
| 973s | patch cycle here which is i mean like |
| 976s | um |
| 977s | things may change so i could be wrong |
| 978s | with us maybe we'll do something but |
| 980s | right now the plan is not to um |
| 984s | release a sort of like a a larger |
| 987s | hotfix patch mid-patch cycle if that |
| 989s | makes any sense |
| 991s | um |
| 991s | and i know it sucks to have a weight |
| 993s | like that and maybe we'll talk about |
| 994s | doing something but right now there's no |
| 995s | plans for it as far as i know |
| 999s | um |
| 1001s | i i think of all the things we could |
| 1002s | release in something like that |
| 1004s | uh yeah |
| 1006s | um |
| 1009s | uniques i think would be a good |
| 1011s | candidate |
| 1013s | um |
| 1017s | just doing the patch in general is |
| 1019s | tricky as well so um |
| 1022s | a lot of time |
| 1024s | goes into |
| 1025s | producing an appropriate build candidate |
| 1027s | a build release and and all these things |
| 1029s | and like stability testing for releasing |
| 1031s | patches |
| 1035s | and if we can avoid taking all the time |
| 1036s | for that |
| 1038s | that saves us time in the long run so |
| 1040s | it's it's sort of a balancing act of |
| 1042s | what do we need to get done what do we |
| 1044s | want to get done and what can we get |
| 1046s | done |
| 1047s | and um |
| 1047s | [Music] |
| 1050s | the total time we have between now and |
| 1051s | launch is like |
| 1054s | it's fairly limited it's fairly finite |
| 1055s | and so we have to |
| 1056s | look at all the things |
| 1058s | that um |
| 1061s | if we're gonna do something like that |
| 1062s | that's that's gonna take up some amount |
| 1064s | of that time between now and launch um |
| 1066s | that's going to add total time to the to |
| 1068s | the development like |
| 1069s | like hours of development time uh |
| 1073s | it needs something else needs to get cut |
| 1075s | or it's going to push the deadline you |
| 1076s | know and um we don't really want to do |
| 1079s | either of those things |
| 1085s | so i'd say it's unlikely but possible |
| 1091s | yeah that you okay uniques are easy to |
| 1093s | make quote yes um |
| 1095s | i probably should have said uniques are |
| 1096s | easy to make relative to many other |
| 1098s | things |
| 1106s | there's a lot of other things that are |
| 1107s | way harder to make |
| 1115s | i was probably referring to the |
| 1116s | implementation side of it mostly |
| 1118s | which is generally the easiest part |
| 1126s | but i don't know we'll see like we i |
| 1127s | don't think we've had uh a patch cycle |
| 1129s | this long so things could change i don't |
| 1131s | know |
| 1135s | i will help you with one id for free man |
| 1136s | it's right cast meteors on hit one |
| 1138s | second i i wonder where i've seen that |
| 1140s | before |
| 1144s | oh i got a fresh question here from some |
| 1146s | from a first time chatter |
| 1149s | uh |
| 1152s | turjalmar |
| 1155s | interesting name |
| 1156s | uh i don't know what it means that's |
| 1158s | cool uh what is the most exciting |
| 1161s | upcoming unreleased feature that you can |
| 1162s | talk about that isn't multiplayer okay |
| 1164s | good thing you added that because i was |
| 1165s | gonna say multiplayer for sure |
| 1167s | um |
| 1168s | [Laughter] |
| 1170s | i mean |
| 1171s | i i think uh the easy answer |
| 1174s | is like one of the |
| 1176s | uh one of the new mastery classes |
| 1178s | um so for me to be the falconer |
| 1180s | personally |
| 1186s | is there a more interesting answer to |
| 1187s | that question |
| 1193s | probably |
| 1196s | for me it's definitely the falconer |
| 1198s | uh little things like this like 15 plus |
| 1200s | is gonna go away and it's gonna just be |
| 1201s | the actual number that's really exciting |
| 1203s | i think |
| 1204s | um |
| 1206s | we have uh we okay here's something |
| 1210s | we've recently |
| 1211s | here we go |
| 1212s | we recently uh changed the way |
| 1215s | we do |
| 1217s | uh network communications for |
| 1220s | ailment |
| 1222s | statuses and ailment information in |
| 1224s | general |
| 1226s | and this comes along with some other |
| 1228s | changes to ailments as well that allow |
| 1230s | this this change to happen |
| 1232s | which is going to |
| 1233s | uh |
| 1235s | sort of a roundabout way of be saying |
| 1237s | we're probably gonna wait gonna have a |
| 1239s | way of fixing the |
| 1240s | poison problem |
| 1243s | so uh the poison problem is that every |
| 1245s | single stack of poison reduces the |
| 1247s | target's poison resistance |
| 1250s | and in multiplayer those stacks can get |
| 1252s | incredibly high incredibly fast even |
| 1254s | single player they can ramp up really |
| 1256s | fast and this like self multiplicative |
| 1259s | effect of each stack making every stack |
| 1262s | stronger |
| 1263s | um |
| 1266s | causes some |
| 1267s | scaling issues compared to other |
| 1269s | ailments |
| 1270s | um so this this these new systems we |
| 1272s | have for both |
| 1274s | communicating across networks how many |
| 1276s | stacks everything has and also |
| 1278s | um |
| 1281s | uh just just changing the structure of |
| 1283s | the element code in general has has |
| 1285s | given us the ability to fix the poison |
| 1287s | problem |
| 1289s | so i think that's exciting as well um |
| 1291s | it's also going to give us some |
| 1293s | new tools to make other elements a |
| 1295s | little bit more interesting and unique |
| 1297s | so the one thing that we hear quite a |
| 1298s | bit is hey |
| 1300s | bleed and ignite are basically just |
| 1303s | um damage type conversions of each other |
| 1306s | they're exactly the same thing there's |
| 1307s | no difference |
| 1308s | and |
| 1312s | now we're gonna have a way to |
| 1316s | bring a little bit more |
| 1318s | interesting mechanics to those |
| 1321s | more unique mechanics make them feel a |
| 1323s | little distinct have them function |
| 1324s | differently |
| 1331s | uh what is the total time uh between now |
| 1334s | and launch if that amount of time is |
| 1336s | finite great question |
| 1339s | uh i'm not going to answer that i'm |
| 1340s | sorry |
| 1341s | and and okay so technically it's not |
| 1343s | finite really um |
| 1347s | well okay it's |
| 1348s | it's finite but not exact how about that |
| 1351s | um |
| 1352s | it's an unknown finite amount |
| 1357s | we have a goal and we want to hit that |
| 1359s | goal |
| 1360s | um if the game's not ready by that goal |
| 1361s | we'll push it and release it when it's |
| 1363s | ready um |
| 1365s | but everything we do plans for hitting |
| 1367s | that goal |
| 1380s | so yeah we we |
| 1383s | we always want to be going as fast as we |
| 1385s | can and you know like get everything |
| 1387s | done as quickly as possible and like |
| 1390s | we want to launch the game now but you |
| 1392s | know we're still missing some features |
| 1393s | it wouldn't exactly be a finished game |
| 1395s | if we did right now |
| 1415s | all right |
| 1417s | uh will achievements view thing if |
| 1419s | you've got a question for me don't |
| 1420s | forget to put at last default game in |
| 1422s | the question i'll be more likely to see |
| 1424s | it's a little slow day today because |
| 1425s | there's something else going on in the |
| 1427s | world you know who knows what that is |
| 1429s | um |
| 1430s | will achievements be a thing yeah uh |
| 1432s | achievements will be a thing |
| 1442s | easy too easy |
| 1447s | my goodness there's a few enemies here |
| 1451s | one or two you know here and there |
| 1460s | boom boom |
| 1464s | multiplayer when when it's ready |
| 1472s | another question here |
| 1473s | from next is dev don't forget to put out |
| 1476s | last game in your question if you've got |
| 1478s | one and i'll see it easier uh will there |
| 1480s | be |
| 1480s | uh an increase in monster density it's |
| 1483s | always fun to clear lots of monsters at |
| 1485s | once in other arpg's um |
| 1488s | i i think that there will be so there's |
| 1490s | certain zones where there's a lot more |
| 1491s | monsters than others and especially |
| 1492s | noticeable in monolith there's some |
| 1494s | density issues in certain areas in |
| 1496s | certain situations and part of that's |
| 1498s | because the monsters are added |
| 1500s | procedurally and sometimes those |
| 1501s | procedural systems have gaps |
| 1504s | so yeah there will be |
| 1506s | changes to that system to make it more |
| 1507s | consistent that will be increasing the |
| 1509s | density in certain situations |
| 1514s | but i wouldn't say yes to like an across |
| 1516s | the board yeah it's just going to go up |
| 1517s | or anything like that |
| 1519s | [Music] |
| 1526s | i can't remember what all these are |
| 1527s | because they're kind of buried down here |
| 1535s | [Music] |
| 1547s | [Music] |
| 1548s | i do love this one i'm just gonna i'm |
| 1550s | just gonna pump it just the decks and |
| 1551s | classic loads just so good |
| 1555s | any plans to maybe add a fist of heaven |
| 1558s | style skill to sentinel class um i mean |
| 1561s | smite especially with lightning tendrils |
| 1564s | is incredibly similar and i just |
| 1565s | realized you might not have been talking |
| 1567s | about fists of heavens foh to me is |
| 1569s | diablo 257s um i would say smite is |
| 1571s | really similar |
| 1574s | um |
| 1576s | if that's not what you were talking |
| 1577s | about please let me know what you were |
| 1578s | talking about |
| 1583s | and that is base sentinel because |
| 1584s | there's a void version conversion in uh |
| 1587s | void night |
| 1588s | yeah so it's it's it was originally a |
| 1590s | paladin skill we moved it because uh |
| 1593s | there's like a unique that made a void |
| 1594s | version or something like that and we're |
| 1595s | like this is cool |
| 1600s | it's less awesome on uh forge guard but |
| 1603s | there is a version where it uses a |
| 1604s | hammer throw |
| 1606s | to proc it that's really strong as well |
| 1610s | also personally uses javelin to proc it |
| 1612s | that's really strong |
| 1618s | hello when our server based character |
| 1621s | saves expected to be added that will |
| 1622s | happen at the same time multiplayer's |
| 1624s | opened up |
| 1625s | um |
| 1627s | so |
| 1628s | when it's ready uh because i don't have |
| 1630s | exact timeline on multiplayer but yeah |
| 1631s | that's as soon as multiplayer happens |
| 1633s | when you're playing multiplayer your |
| 1634s | save files will go online |
| 1638s | um |
| 1638s | but offline characters will still be |
| 1640s | offline and you'll still play them with |
| 1642s | local saves like you you won't you won't |
| 1644s | move your characters that you have on |
| 1645s | your computer on to our servers we're |
| 1647s | not going to do that |
| 1650s | accepting file uploads like that is uh |
| 1657s | dangerous misguided eyes there's a few |
| 1660s | words for it |
| 1671s | kind of related question what piece of |
| 1674s | cut content were you saddest to see go |
| 1677s | that hasn't been |
| 1679s | repurposed |
| 1681s | um |
| 1696s | like i have a couple answers but uh |
| 1699s | let's see the stuff that i know will get |
| 1700s | repurposed or |
| 1703s | uh just come back in general |
| 1711s | ah |
| 1713s | that ability should die when the uh |
| 1716s | when the |
| 1717s | when the enemy dies |
| 1719s | i don't know why didn't there a couple |
| 1721s | of them maybe like if it's |
| 1723s | starting while they die |
| 1725s | if they die while it's starting |
| 1728s | but there's a bug in there somewhere |
| 1739s | [Music] |
| 1745s | i don't know i uh cut content |
| 1748s | that i'm sad as to see go |
| 1756s | i mean there's a whole bunch of like |
| 1757s | ideas and things okay you know what i |
| 1760s | know what it is this is so |
| 1762s | so weird |
| 1765s | it is the |
| 1766s | uh switch weapons |
| 1769s | uh having having having like a secondary |
| 1771s | weapon |
| 1772s | uh to switch to |
| 1773s | that's what it is |
| 1782s | not happening |
| 1800s | like i get why we can't have it but oh i |
| 1802s | wish we could |
| 1823s | when mike doesn't even use smoke |
| 1824s | formerly quite yeah well i mean it's not |
| 1826s | that hard i use them when i need to |
| 1828s | remember uh |
| 1829s | was it last week or the week before i |
| 1832s | had to do the |
| 1833s | um i did the arena the arena champion |
| 1836s | and i got to rogue and i was |
| 1838s | probably under geared for it |
| 1841s | um |
| 1842s | i used i feel like i used them really |
| 1843s | well there to do that |
| 1849s | i sometimes also toss uh uh decoy really |
| 1852s | far away in like the opposite direction |
| 1853s | of where i'm fighting |
| 1855s | just as like uh |
| 1857s | like just toss over there and |
| 1861s | see what happens |
| 1869s | to whom must we pay 1000 usd to get a |
| 1872s | the meteor unique made is it you |
| 1874s | i know it isn't his chicane i will take |
| 1877s | up collection |
| 1879s | uh i mean |
| 1887s | there are certain |
| 1889s | members of the team that absolutely love |
| 1892s | meteor as a as a skill it's definitely |
| 1895s | their favorite skill |
| 1896s | um |
| 1899s | and let's just say they have quite a bit |
| 1900s | of pull |
| 1902s | in the company |
| 1905s | maybe the most pull of anyone in the |
| 1907s | company okay definitely it's judd he |
| 1909s | loves meteor um |
| 1913s | uh i i would be surprised if |
| 1916s | um |
| 1918s | we don't see any more awesome meteor |
| 1920s | uniques anytime soon type them i i don't |
| 1923s | know if it'll still be that exact one |
| 1924s | that that didn't get made but there were |
| 1926s | a lot of things there were there were a |
| 1928s | lot of community ideas |
| 1930s | in that |
| 1931s | in those polls that we really liked |
| 1934s | um |
| 1935s | and i can see some themes from some of |
| 1938s | those things being repurposed a little |
| 1940s | bit and tweaked and adjusted and maybe |
| 1942s | brought back in a slightly different |
| 1943s | form maybe it's not an item maybe it's a |
| 1945s | node maybe it's a set bonus maybe it's |
| 1947s | uh |
| 1948s | i don't know |
| 1949s | uh an idol maybe it's a |
| 1951s | [Music] |
| 1952s | blessing these are getting a little out |
| 1954s | there but you know what i mean i i'd be |
| 1956s | um |
| 1958s | i wouldn't be surprised to see something |
| 1960s | at least |
| 1961s | tangentially related |
| 1975s | we go through a lot of unique ideas |
| 1978s | like um |
| 1980s | anyone on the team who who who like |
| 1983s | wants to there's we we've got our own |
| 1985s | like discord for development |
| 1987s | and um |
| 1989s | frequently like we just got a channel |
| 1991s | for unique ideas and people just sort of |
| 1993s | toss ideas in there um and every once in |
| 1995s | a while um |
| 1997s | josoki or myself or kane or um |
| 2001s | rhymer |
| 2003s | uh |
| 2005s | justin any and there's a bunch of people |
| 2006s | that will uh |
| 2008s | sort of like go through there and pick |
| 2009s | out uh different |
| 2012s | um different ideas and |
| 2014s | we'll talk about them you know and um |
| 2020s | so we get we get a lot of ideas for |
| 2022s | unique items |
| 2025s | uh and they change a lot throughout the |
| 2027s | development process of getting any one |
| 2029s | of them made sometimes like one item |
| 2031s | will |
| 2032s | have just like one little |
| 2033s | theme from it get turned into another a |
| 2035s | whole different item |
| 2044s | weapon swap with teleport on the swap |
| 2046s | oops wrong game |
| 2047s | [Laughter] |
| 2050s | yeah get that get that teleport charges |
| 2052s | staff and away you go |
| 2061s | i always went for an amulet |
| 2070s | that budget hammered in |
| 2074s | enigma is the best and worst item in |
| 2075s | that game |
| 2093s | chests still don't work in multiplayer |
| 2094s | it's really funny like you open them and |
| 2096s | just nothing comes out |
| 2097s | and uh |
| 2098s | like we told all the cds this it's still |
| 2101s | uh like and they all knew they all open |
| 2103s | the chest and they go oh yeah right |
| 2104s | there's nothing in there |
| 2105s | um it's just that like you're so |
| 2107s | conditioned i do too so on multiplayer |
| 2109s | testing i'll open chest all the time you |
| 2110s | just you're so conditioned to open a |
| 2113s | chest |
| 2114s | um and like it glows and sparkles and |
| 2115s | you can click it everything still and so |
| 2117s | it's it's this like |
| 2119s | you're just so used to it you just click |
| 2120s | them even though you know nothing's |
| 2122s | coming out you still click it |
| 2129s | yeah i got my uh |
| 2131s | streets of new capana |
| 2133s | commander decks showed up |
| 2137s | picked up a pair of those |
| 2145s | hmm |
| 2159s | decent ones in there |
| 2164s | xp give me that sweet sweet xp |
| 2175s | the launcher staff is really cool yeah |
| 2180s | hold up did i just drift off did you |
| 2182s | explain why we can't have weapon swap or |
| 2184s | just say we couldn't have it why can't |
| 2185s | we have weapon swap i did not explain |
| 2187s | why we can't have weapon swap |
| 2191s | um |
| 2194s | i'll be honest this was uh uh |
| 2196s | we went through that process |
| 2198s | oh year and a half two years ago it's |
| 2200s | been it's been quite a while probably |
| 2201s | two years now |
| 2202s | um since we've talked about weapon swap |
| 2205s | and i do not remember all the details of |
| 2207s | that conversation well enough to explain |
| 2209s | it here confidently |
| 2210s | um |
| 2215s | but it is a design decision of why we |
| 2216s | don't have weapon swap |
| 2222s | there there was some |
| 2224s | networking stuff too but um |
| 2240s | i do remember ah i i don't remember the |
| 2243s | conversation well enough to go into all |
| 2244s | of it um |
| 2246s | part of it had to do with snapshot |
| 2248s | problems |
| 2249s | just making snapshotting even easier and |
| 2251s | um |
| 2252s | making it basically required um and then |
| 2255s | ending up with the burden of optimal |
| 2256s | play being too intense |
| 2261s | uh it was a big was that was that was |
| 2263s | part of it there was something else that |
| 2264s | was really major too i can't remember |
| 2264s | what it was |
| 2266s | it was a really good reason it was a |
| 2267s | really good reason i'm sorry i can't |
| 2270s | remember what it was |
| 2271s | um |
| 2274s | i was sad but i agreed with it |
| 2277s | um |
| 2280s | trying i'm sorry |
| 2282s | the |
| 2283s | we are working to to handle uh |
| 2285s | snapchatting stuff more as well so |
| 2288s | like |
| 2289s | i guess |
| 2290s | reasons can go away |
| 2291s | but um there was something else that was |
| 2293s | enough even without snapshotting |
| 2301s | because that that is something that's |
| 2302s | going to be gone |
| 2306s | eventually |
| 2309s | oh one more before i gotta go uh with |
| 2311s | the throwing tag for skills was there |
| 2313s | ever a consideration |
| 2315s | put towards thrown weapon types |
| 2317s | absolutely |
| 2323s | um we kind of wanted i guess throwing |
| 2326s | skills to be possible as um |
| 2329s | hybrid builds |
| 2332s | uh so where you could still |
| 2336s | you could still do something else with |
| 2337s | it now that the part of the big thing |
| 2339s | about throwing is you're not actually |
| 2340s | throwing |
| 2341s | your |
| 2342s | weapon |
| 2343s | itself you're throwing some |
| 2345s | like uh magical construct of a weapon or |
| 2349s | you know like it's it's |
| 2351s | it's not the literal you're throwing |
| 2352s | your weapon we try and work that in a |
| 2353s | little bit on some nodes like for |
| 2355s | example there's a shield throw node |
| 2357s | that buffs the throw a whole bunch but |
| 2359s | you can't block while it's thrown and so |
| 2361s | that's trying to sort of represent like |
| 2363s | you've thrown your shield so you can't |
| 2365s | block with it because you don't have it |
| 2366s | anymore right um and we try we try and |
| 2370s | work those things in a little bit |
| 2371s | but um |
| 2375s | for the most part you're not actually |
| 2376s | like throwing your weapon or throwing |
| 2379s | your shield you're throwing some like |
| 2382s | representation or mechanical or uh |
| 2384s | magical version of that weapon |
| 2387s | or shield |
| 2393s | the new death animation stuff that we |
| 2395s | teased it's so good it like oh the |
| 2398s | updates the combat feel are amazing and |
| 2400s | i i know i'm like saying these things |
| 2401s | and there's gonna be a big gap and it |
| 2402s | sucks but like |
| 2404s | it's it's it was one of those things |
| 2406s | where i didn't like when i we're first |
| 2408s | talking about everything i'm like i |
| 2409s | don't know if it's gonna have that big |
| 2410s | of an impact oh boy was i wrong |
| 2420s | i love being wrong about that stuff |
| 2434s | hey be the boy |
| 2436s | let's go |
| 2444s | yeah |
| 2445s | freeze that guy for me |
| 2450s | be the boy's pulling its weight |
| 2453s | uh heavy asks will multiplayer release |
| 2456s | inherent |
| 2462s | will multiplayer release inherent at |
| 2465s | least a first balance pass |
| 2469s | i think that's include will multiplayer |
| 2471s | release include at least the first |
| 2472s | balance pass and will balance be one of |
| 2474s | the major focuses after multiplayer is |
| 2476s | released yes um i think that there will |
| 2479s | be |
| 2482s | there's there's certain things so um |
| 2484s | here's a great example that's already |
| 2485s | happening there's certain things that we |
| 2487s | know are obviously going to be broken in |
| 2489s | multiplayer that like |
| 2491s | we we know |
| 2492s | we knew when we made them that it would |
| 2494s | be busted um |
| 2496s | in multiplayer uh |
| 2499s | we either have plans for fixing them |
| 2500s | already or |
| 2502s | our um |
| 2504s | oh got some beer |
| 2506s | don't see that every day |
| 2509s | who's shooting me go away i want to pick |
| 2511s | up my beer |
| 2514s | and |
| 2514s | um |
| 2516s | oh i used it dang it |
| 2518s | beer's just a potion anyways if in case |
| 2520s | anyone was wondering |
| 2522s | where's going with this oh yeah |
| 2525s | there's things we already know is gonna |
| 2526s | be broken overpowered and and so a |
| 2528s | really good example of this is you may |
| 2530s | have noticed that um |
| 2532s | healing hands does not have a skill tree |
| 2534s | still |
| 2536s | healing hands does not have a skill tree |
| 2538s | because we know that uh so many of the |
| 2540s | things we were originally planning on |
| 2542s | doing with healing hands would be really |
| 2544s | broken in multiplayer |
| 2547s | and so we wanted to be able to test it |
| 2549s | and get a feel for it as we were making |
| 2551s | that skill tree in a multiplayer |
| 2553s | environment to make sure it was |
| 2555s | fun and useful and not mandatory and you |
| 2558s | know all these things |
| 2559s | in um |
| 2561s | in in a multiple environment or first |
| 2562s | making so you have to remake it this is |
| 2564s | that like not doubling up on time spent |
| 2567s | issue again |
| 2569s | uh so yeah there's there's things that |
| 2571s | we've intentionally held off on specific |
| 2574s | for that and then other things that |
| 2574s | we're preparing for multiplayer so the |
| 2576s | the as i was talking about before the |
| 2578s | poison um |
| 2580s | problem |
| 2581s | where whereby |
| 2582s | if |
| 2583s | everyone in your group is running |
| 2586s | um |
| 2588s | a poison build all of the poison builds |
| 2590s | get stronger immediately and and having |
| 2592s | a five person or four person poison team |
| 2596s | is |
| 2597s | unbelievably strong |
| 2600s | um finding a way to make it not scale |
| 2603s | ridiculous like that but still have it |
| 2607s | uh scale somewhat and then |
| 2610s | uh |
| 2612s | still have it be fun in single player |
| 2614s | you know like like having that balance |
| 2615s | working we have a potential solution |
| 2617s | that i'm skirting around saying what |
| 2618s | that solution is because it's not in and |
| 2620s | tested yet i don't want to um |
| 2623s | uh |
| 2626s | like say what it is and promise |
| 2627s | something and not deliver on it type |
| 2628s | thing |
| 2631s | uh but yeah so we're working on that i |
| 2633s | just realized i'm probably over the |
| 2634s | number to get at this boss i'm just |
| 2636s | doing |
| 2637s | uh doing |
| 2639s | echoes for |
| 2641s | for fun at this point |
| 2643s | which is good because i do have fun with |
| 2644s | them |
| 2645s | um |
| 2648s | so yeah yeah there are things that have |
| 2651s | happened |
| 2652s | are happening and will happen around |
| 2654s | balance and multiplayer um |
| 2656s | with regards to that release and |
| 2659s | i'm sure there will be |
| 2661s | a large number of incredibly powerful |
| 2663s | synergies that everyone's gonna miss |
| 2666s | um |
| 2669s | by the time release happens and there |
| 2670s | will be some balance patches that happen |
| 2672s | pretty early on uh and and then that's |
| 2674s | and part of that uh the reason we do |
| 2677s | these slow rollouts for multiplayer is |
| 2678s | to catch things like that |
| 2680s | um |
| 2681s | i wouldn't be surprised if there were |
| 2682s | things found |
| 2684s | uh |
| 2685s | in in the first first half dozen tests |
| 2688s | that we had we didn't even consider you |
| 2690s | know |
| 2693s | so yeah |
| 2695s | uh |
| 2696s | we we will be tackling low hanging fruit |
| 2698s | first |
| 2709s | a little warm in there |
| 2713s | little warm in these rhinos |
| 2720s | name that movie there's another quote |
| 2721s | from it |
| 2730s | the rubber face comic himself |
| 2733s | the one the only the canadian |
| 2740s | agent gary |
| 2752s | all right |
| 2754s | another question here have you played |
| 2756s | sanctuary for asks have you ever played |
| 2759s | have you played any of the first season |
| 2760s | of d2r been having a blast in it myself |
| 2763s | found some gg items a 2018 sarktorch for |
| 2768s | example |
| 2774s | shivers goosebumps all over |
| 2777s | um no i i've played a tiny tiny tiny |
| 2780s | tiny little bit of it um |
| 2785s | like leveled one character a merc uh i |
| 2788s | was trying to act five mercs out and um |
| 2792s | i can't remember the name of the new |
| 2793s | room right now the new like leveling |
| 2795s | rune word for mercs |
| 2796s | um |
| 2798s | got one of those but i haven't really |
| 2800s | played much of it now |
| 2804s | that was i played a weekend |
| 2806s | you know |
| 2813s | which is enough to |
| 2815s | like |
| 2818s | let's get to get get to um |
| 2821s | like farming end game stuff |
| 2837s | what commander okay um |
| 2840s | the first one the one that i actually |
| 2842s | finished the deck for is |
| 2846s | pulverizer can remember his name |
| 2859s | uh perry the pulverizer |
| 2863s | uh he's a three three four four when he |
| 2864s | enters the battlefield put a shield |
| 2866s | counter on target creature you control |
| 2869s | whenever he attacks |
| 2871s | tiger creature you control gets plus x |
| 2872s | plus x and gains trample until in a turn |
| 2875s | where x is the number of different |
| 2878s | counters |
| 2879s | on permanence you control |
| 2883s | and i was trying to figure out where the |
| 2885s | line was on that's exactly what i |
| 2886s | thought it was originally but i was um |
| 2889s | i'm like does like |
| 2891s | um |
| 2892s | suspend does that count like |
| 2894s | the time counters on suspended objects |
| 2896s | in excel now because you don't control |
| 2898s | exiled permanence so it doesn't work |
| 2903s | uh which i expected and then like energy |
| 2905s | counters |
| 2906s | which uh they're on you |
| 2909s | they're not on uh permits like |
| 2911s | experience counters they're on you not |
| 2913s | the permanents that don't count |
| 2916s | but like i was just going through the |
| 2918s | cards i had i'm like okay i'm gonna pull |
| 2920s | one of every |
| 2923s | card with a unique counter type that i |
| 2925s | can find and there's some weird counter |
| 2928s | types out there that i uh |
| 2930s | put the azoreous uh |
| 2933s | something in the filibuster counters |
| 2936s | uh |
| 2938s | so that's gonna be the goal is to is to |
| 2940s | win with filibuster counters with almost |
| 2943s | no proliferate in the deck uh as a bit |
| 2945s | of a meme |
| 2950s | while punching people in the face with a |
| 2951s | big boy commander |
| 2960s | and then also the grixes one which i'm |
| 2962s | going to be |
| 2964s | um |
| 2965s | doing vampire tribal with |
| 2979s | this thing's gonna be off i haven't done |
| 2980s | vampire trouble before |
| 2981s | um i haven't built a grix's deck in |
| 2984s | forever i don't remember the last one i |
| 2986s | built |
| 2987s | but it's a lot of fun there's a lot of |
| 2989s | good stuff in there |
| 2994s | shock someone's just doing echoes for |
| 2995s | fun the horrors |
| 2998s | century a very good |
| 3000s | master sword 10 points to gryffindor |
| 3003s | uh forgive me if you've already answered |
| 3004s | this will multiplayer have party trading |
| 3006s | at the start or is that to be added at a |
| 3009s | later time um i don't know what order |
| 3012s | any sort of trading systems will be |
| 3014s | implemented in regards to the uh when |
| 3017s | the multiplayer opens up to a larger |
| 3019s | group um there is not currently any way |
| 3022s | to trade items in multiplayer uh there's |
| 3024s | no system like that uh set up at the |
| 3026s | moment so |
| 3028s | uh |
| 3029s | maybe |
| 3031s | the i5 merc is fire with three piece |
| 3034s | sazi set really |
| 3039s | i haven't read that word in a long time |
| 3041s | and not how i thought it was felt |
| 3045s | i just called sabbies |
| 3049s | in my mind it's savvy set |
| 3054s | interesting i would not have thought |
| 3055s | is that because you can up the sets now |
| 3057s | that they're really good |
| 3076s | ring |
| 3077s | ring ring ring ring the same old crap |
| 3080s | same old crap |
| 3098s | i probably should not be just like |
| 3100s | running through all the giant aoes |
| 3103s | and running towards more enemies this |
| 3106s | seems like a mistake |
| 3108s | but you'd be right |
| 3137s | it was tense |
| 3142s | uh sorry i didn't check in i don't check |
| 3144s | in freaking with the game is there |
| 3146s | progress for multiplayer this year or |
| 3149s | will it come the next uh there was |
| 3151s | actually very recently a very large post |
| 3153s | that went out um so no worries about |
| 3155s | missing that uh but you can check that |
| 3157s | out on our forums if someone wants to |
| 3159s | link that that would be awesome for them |
| 3161s | uh lots of info in there basically um |
| 3164s | multiplayer is looking like it's going |
| 3166s | to happen this year |
| 3167s | uh |
| 3168s | we've had our first test on tuesday |
| 3172s | which um like last this like uh |
| 3175s | three days ago four days ago whatever it |
| 3176s | is um |
| 3179s | where people who don't work at ehg got |
| 3181s | to play multiplayer for the first time |
| 3183s | um went fantastic |
| 3185s | really happy really excited um |
| 3192s | and uh yeah stuff's going great |
| 3194s | i don't know what else to say |
| 3207s | uh for this favor system that is an |
| 3209s | alternate meta progression system |
| 3211s | uh yep |
| 3214s | okay |
| 3215s | i i will just just want to note on that |
| 3217s | um |
| 3218s | it's still in the con concept phase so |
| 3221s | uh |
| 3223s | a lot could change between now and then |
| 3225s | now and now in release so anything i say |
| 3227s | is very speculative on it |
| 3232s | uh |
| 3233s | will it start being utilized for |
| 3234s | characters before the 100 that's the |
| 3236s | plan right now |
| 3237s | yes |
| 3243s | it's not like once you've hit level 100 |
| 3244s | you get to do it |
| 3246s | like the i guess the the easier to |
| 3248s | answer that question and uh this might |
| 3250s | not be obvious but um |
| 3254s | we we don't plan for most characters to |
| 3256s | hit level 100 |
| 3258s | and if there's any sort of major |
| 3259s | progression system |
| 3261s | uh we expect every character to to have |
| 3264s | easy access to it |
| 3266s | and if most characters aren't hitting |
| 3268s | 100 and the progression system started |
| 3271s | after 100 |
| 3272s | most characters wouldn't have access to |
| 3274s | it |
| 3277s | so don't want that so not doing that |
| 3292s | wrong thing |
| 3294s | should i get this shouldn't i |
| 3299s | want to go fast |
| 3304s | rolling around at the speed of sound |
| 3311s | sonic adventure 2 battles on gamecube |
| 3314s | was |
| 3315s | one of my favorite game is one of my |
| 3317s | favorite games |
| 3318s | so good |
| 3319s | that opening sequence like dropping out |
| 3321s | of a helicopter i don't know what i was |
| 3323s | like |
| 3327s | let's guess 15 14 somewhere in there and |
| 3330s | like |
| 3333s | um i should figure one that came out but |
| 3336s | like i remember riding home in the car |
| 3338s | with |
| 3339s | with the game and like you know like |
| 3341s | you're you're riding home in the car |
| 3343s | your mom's driving you like open up the |
| 3344s | case and you're like going through the |
| 3346s | manual that's in the case checking out |
| 3348s | everything and |
| 3349s | oh oh that was a great game |
| 3352s | i'm just i i keep forgetting to check |
| 3354s | if there's more |
| 3356s | uh if i finish this monologue or not |
| 3359s | you know i'm just gonna teleport out |
| 3361s | and check i don't care |
| 3372s | keep going just right click on those now |
| 3379s | i got uh an urbrask the new brass is a |
| 3383s | really nice it's like |
| 3385s | so it's card advantage and like |
| 3388s | and stacksy at the same time but it's |
| 3390s | not like oppressive it's just like you |
| 3392s | have to play like a red deck |
| 3394s | go |
| 3395s | and i love that where it's it's like |
| 3397s | it's |
| 3399s | it's got all the things i love in it i |
| 3401s | love the new rest it's great |
| 3405s | uh it's one of my in one of your set |
| 3407s | packs yeah |
| 3409s | i literally can't read what's on the |
| 3410s | card yeah because it's in um |
| 3413s | forex you've got the forexian altar |
| 3414s | version so here's what it says it says |
| 3416s | um at the beginning of your upkeep |
| 3419s | uh |
| 3421s | uh exile the top card of your library |
| 3423s | you may play that card this turn |
| 3426s | um |
| 3427s | at the beginning |
| 3428s | all right each opponent's uh can't have |
| 3430s | this wrong each one skips their draw |
| 3431s | step and exiles the top card of their |
| 3433s | library at the beginning of their review |
| 3435s | they didn't say ever basically everyone |
| 3437s | impulses one card every turn and your |
| 3439s | opponents don't get to draw as well |
| 3441s | but they still get to |
| 3443s | play that top part of their library |
| 3444s | because they impulse instead just have |
| 3445s | to play at that turn |
| 3457s | that's that's really cool this this item |
| 3459s | is really interesting i remember making |
| 3460s | it i really like this item it's one of |
| 3463s | my favorite items in the game which i |
| 3464s | know is weird but um |
| 3467s | yeah |
| 3468s | i really like it |
| 3473s | it was almost a pair of gloves |
| 3481s | of despair |
| 3487s | uh plus life bonus to frenzy act 5 merc |
| 3490s | makes them virtually unkillable yeah it |
| 3491s | destroys almost anything in hell as they |
| 3493s | can dual wield yeah dual wield uh like |
| 3497s | that's the big thing about um act 2 |
| 3499s | marks is |
| 3501s | it's the really powerful |
| 3502s | auras that you can get are on weapons |
| 3506s | action marks can only wield one weapon |
| 3508s | but at the same time they get |
| 3510s | uh they get an aura built in so you get |
| 3512s | one aura for free just for being an |
| 3513s | acting merc and then um you could you |
| 3516s | can get two you get one more for having |
| 3518s | a weapon so you can get two auras |
| 3520s | there's other ways to get them too but |
| 3521s | that's the main two ways that most |
| 3522s | people get them but then act five marks |
| 3524s | yeah you can dual wield so you can get |
| 3525s | two of the weapon |
| 3527s | auras which are generally actually |
| 3528s | stronger than the built-in ones and um |
| 3532s | it was |
| 3533s | that was |
| 3534s | it was it was a really |
| 3537s | elegant solution to the problem of |
| 3539s | only act 2 merck survival |
| 3542s | i think that's one of the biggest things |
| 3544s | that dlv2 suffers from after |
| 3546s | being played without updates for |
| 3549s | decades literally um |
| 3552s | is is it's kind of solved like |
| 3555s | um |
| 3557s | i can like |
| 3559s | pick any character |
| 3560s | archetype and i can probably tell you |
| 3562s | what your stat distribution is in like |
| 3564s | in your ideal stat distribution |
| 3566s | and um |
| 3569s | it's almost exactly the same for every |
| 3571s | single character right |
| 3574s | enough strength to wear your gear um |
| 3577s | possibly enough decks for max block or |
| 3579s | not |
| 3580s | and the rest in vitality like that's |
| 3582s | every single one of them oh 2lp slab |
| 3584s | that's nice |
| 3585s | and and and um |
| 3587s | oh my god |
| 3590s | come with me my beetle army of the dead |
| 3594s | um |
| 3598s | it was a countess reference by the way |
| 3602s | blood raven sorry |
| 3606s | uh anyways um |
| 3610s | what am i trying to say here and and and |
| 3612s | now they've got this |
| 3613s | uh |
| 3615s | almost in one way that sucks now they've |
| 3617s | got |
| 3618s | two mercenaries that are viable which is |
| 3620s | just awesome |
| 3623s | um |
| 3624s | i know a lot of the |
| 3627s | like path of diablo gave uh the insight |
| 3630s | meditation aura to the act three |
| 3631s | mercenaries which i thought was really |
| 3633s | smart um |
| 3635s | i'd love to see something something done |
| 3637s | to make the the other other mercenaries |
| 3639s | a little bit more i think they did some |
| 3641s | stuff to most of them as well they're |
| 3642s | better but they're not good enough yet |
| 3645s | and it's gonna be really hard because |
| 3646s | it's such an optimized game to ever get |
| 3648s | all of the mercenaries to be in a really |
| 3649s | good spot |
| 3651s | um |
| 3653s | but i think that they were |
| 3656s | i thought it was really well done what |
| 3657s | they've got so far |
| 3661s | was impressed |
| 3664s | vicarious visions knows what they're |
| 3666s | doing |
| 3677s | that's right you |
| 3678s | ice goliath bleed out on me |
| 3689s | all right why not just make uh easy to |
| 3692s | hit 100 and then have an exp accrue in a |
| 3694s | system of infinite levels allowing for |
| 3696s | endless stat progression called avatar |
| 3698s | levels or something |
| 3700s | uh i can't generally like |
| 3702s | so i i know you are very |
| 3705s | random named x i know you're very well |
| 3707s | versed in arpg's and i can't tell if |
| 3709s | you're joking or not |
| 3712s | um |
| 3716s | but just in case you are not joking |
| 3720s | um |
| 3721s | i i would suggest that we've seen this |
| 3723s | system already and seen the strengths |
| 3725s | and weaknesses of the system |
| 3727s | in uh |
| 3729s | in diablo 3 |
| 3732s | because what you basically described is |
| 3734s | the peregrine system just just in case |
| 3736s | you're you're not joking |
| 3737s | since my original idea |
| 3742s | oh |
| 3743s | i can't tell |
| 3748s | well for anyone else who doesn't know |
| 3750s | this just in case the mo3 had that |
| 3752s | system exactly it's called paragon |
| 3754s | levels instead |
| 3757s | and it contributes to this idea that the |
| 3759s | game doesn't start until max level |
| 3762s | which |
| 3763s | i'm personally not a big fan of |
| 3765s | in an arpg system like this |
| 3775s | because i believe that it takes away |
| 3776s | from the value of |
| 3778s | the entire leveling process |
| 3782s | and it turns the leveling process into |
| 3784s | uh |
| 3785s | how fast can i finish leveling so i can |
| 3787s | start playing |
| 3789s | um and that type of mentality is |
| 3792s | unfortunate |
| 3793s | but um |
| 3795s | very natural when presented with a |
| 3797s | system like that |
| 3811s | i don't know what i'm doing here |
| 3824s | just like shoot things through it |
| 3829s | stand as close to it's like the widest |
| 3830s | arc that i can shoot through |
| 3844s | paragons could be okay if cats on a per |
| 3846s | character basis i guess there's a lot of |
| 3848s | things uh that people have explored |
| 3850s | there's a lot of really good videos on |
| 3852s | the internet about people on youtube |
| 3853s | especially about people |
| 3855s | exploring |
| 3856s | ways to improve upon and expand |
| 3859s | the |
| 3861s | paragon system |
| 3865s | and if anyone's interested in talking |
| 3867s | about that i would really suggest going |
| 3868s | to read that |
| 3870s | oh listen to that watch that |
| 3872s | because uh smarter folks than i have |
| 3876s | presented cases about that much more |
| 3879s | eloquently than i would as well |
| 3891s | if i done the wrong one tonight but i |
| 3892s | want this totally intentional |
| 3903s | bullying in chat with some odds |
| 3910s | i know i'm just the worst i'm sorry |
| 3913s | i have no self-control |
| 3925s | where are we going where are we going |
| 3927s | what are we doing who are we seeing |
| 3931s | not that way |
| 3935s | marvel heroes online |
| 3936s | tried an improved paragon system before |
| 3939s | being shut down |
| 3940s | marvel heroes online is a game that i |
| 3943s | regret not playing more so much |
| 3946s | um |
| 3948s | i wish i wish i had i'd played more of |
| 3950s | it |
| 3955s | because yeah there's a lot of really |
| 3957s | good things that they did |
| 3959s | like really awesome things |
| 3961s | and and |
| 3963s | yeah |
| 3965s | too soon |
| 3967s | the flame that burns the brightest burns |
| 3968s | the shortest something something |
| 3970s | something |
| 3983s | not happening |
| 3991s | easy too easy |
| 4023s | marvel heroes is by far my most played |
| 4026s | video game ever wow |
| 4028s | i don't regret a single minute that's |
| 4030s | cool |
| 4033s | i regret not paying playing it enough |
| 4040s | who evie who was your favorite |
| 4043s | hero |
| 4048s | that's something i'd be interested in if |
| 4049s | you had to pick one |
| 4068s | see ya |
| 4076s | thoughts on blood for the blood god i |
| 4078s | mean it's 11 mana you gotta discard your |
| 4081s | whole hand that's a pretty steep cost |
| 4083s | seems balanced to me |
| 4089s | no i a three mana draw eight cards deal |
| 4092s | eight damage to everyone at the table |
| 4095s | oh my god what |
| 4099s | i it's it's immediately going in every |
| 4101s | single deck i have that can fit |
| 4104s | immediately |
| 4108s | i i'm also split on the universe's |
| 4111s | beyond stuff with the triangle holo |
| 4112s | stamp at the bottom |
| 4116s | i still don't have any of them in any of |
| 4118s | my decks and i'm like still kind of like |
| 4120s | am i going to oh my goodness |
| 4126s | so i don't i don't i still don't know if |
| 4127s | i'm going to play it or not um just |
| 4129s | because it's in universes beyond |
| 4144s | and it feels it feels like one of those |
| 4145s | cards that that someone like um |
| 4149s | like one with nothing or people just |
| 4150s | like didn't understand why it could be |
| 4152s | good or it was not designed with |
| 4154s | multiplayer mind or like |
| 4157s | you know there's just |
| 4159s | there's some disconnect in the design |
| 4160s | that i think it's |
| 4164s | it's one of those cards where the floor |
| 4166s | is pretty low |
| 4168s | um |
| 4169s | like |
| 4170s | there's no creatures on the board you've |
| 4172s | got a full grip everyone else is out of |
| 4173s | cards |
| 4174s | um |
| 4177s | and you're playing an infect deck like |
| 4179s | there's the floor of it |
| 4180s | um |
| 4181s | but like all those things are |
| 4183s | controllable |
| 4184s | really |
| 4189s | behold the rage of winter this is a |
| 4193s | mercy |
| 4195s | shatter |
| 4200s | do not stand in my way |
| 4208s | this is a mercy |
| 4212s | shutter |
| 4216s | not stand in my way |
| 4219s | rise my fallen champions |
| 4222s | aid me |
| 4227s | [Music] |
| 4230s | this is a mercy |
| 4232s | yeah shoot that decoy |
| 4237s | i spent a long time |
| 4239s | uh |
| 4242s | uh working with working with our uh |
| 4245s | boss design boss encounter design |
| 4249s | uh lead on on this like making the |
| 4250s | mechanics work for it so like it's one |
| 4252s | of those boss fights that i've i've only |
| 4254s | done it like |
| 4257s | i don't know like a dozen times or |
| 4258s | something but i feel like i know it |
| 4260s | incredibly well because |
| 4262s | um i spent so long working on it |
| 4278s | this is a mercy |
| 4281s | shutter |
| 4283s | do not stand in my way |
| 4288s | oh that's the wrong way |
| 4297s | when you move your hands slightly on the |
| 4298s | keyboard |
| 4312s | this is a mercy |
| 4315s | shatter |
| 4317s | do not stand in my way |
| 4329s | this is a mercy |
| 4332s | shutter |
| 4334s | do not stand in my way |
| 4338s | not happening oh |
| 4340s | no |
| 4352s | yeah there we go |
| 4354s | get got |
| 4357s | two temples keys |
| 4360s | my my i do declare |
| 4362s | fizz res |
| 4365s | should fizz rose on hit that's really |
| 4367s | nice |
| 4369s | ah that is really nice |
| 4383s | i feel like i kind of have to take that |
| 4384s | my fizz was i think is terrible oh no |
| 4386s | it's great |
| 4393s | this is a really interesting unique |
| 4395s | actually |
| 4396s | i talked about a little bit on the uh |
| 4398s | unique design stream with |
| 4400s | um |
| 4402s | aaron |
| 4403s | uh action rpg and uh and and what it |
| 4405s | does for warcry because it it basically |
| 4408s | is one of the warcray nodes but you want |
| 4410s | the nodes behind it when you have the |
| 4411s | helmet so |
| 4413s | um |
| 4414s | it kind of has like the sort of like |
| 4415s | inherent negative one to warcry built |
| 4417s | into it because of that because you're |
| 4419s | sort of wasting a point in the tree |
| 4421s | um so it got an extra plus one to skills |
| 4424s | it worked plus one to work right when we |
| 4427s | finally realized that some someone |
| 4428s | pointed that out to us |
| 4430s | remember who it was |
| 4431s | good feedback from someone you probably |
| 4433s | know who you are |
| 4437s | uh juggernaut elbow dropping madness i |
| 4440s | love the idea of movement skill builds |
| 4442s | in ah okay |
| 4446s | second and third kitty pirate and |
| 4447s | scarlet |
| 4451s | not gonna correct myself |
| 4454s | scarlet witch |
| 4460s | okay let's go do it let's go to a |
| 4462s | dungeon yeah |
| 4464s | let's do uh let's do a temporal sanctum |
| 4466s | because we've got it we've got it here |
| 4469s | why not right right |
| 4473s | oh do we have a legendary to make that's |
| 4476s | why not |
| 4486s | uh |
| 4487s | is it not worth it to be able uh to |
| 4490s | scream blood for the blood cut over and |
| 4492s | over again so i i've i've never played |
| 4495s | 40k so i don't have any |
| 4498s | like |
| 4500s | um |
| 4502s | like allegiance to the to the ip or |
| 4503s | anything like that or |
| 4505s | or like |
| 4506s | so yeah a lot of the um |
| 4509s | story elements the thing that got me a |
| 4511s | lot is that they're using this uh |
| 4513s | they're adding a new creature type to |
| 4515s | magic |
| 4516s | with |
| 4517s | uh with this update i couldn't believe |
| 4518s | it |
| 4520s | um they're actually adding in |
| 4522s | creature types of of characters that are |
| 4524s | in 40k that are not in the magic |
| 4525s | universe anywhere |
| 4526s | um so it's actually changing the lore of |
| 4530s | magic |
| 4531s | um by incorporating 40k so now 40k |
| 4535s | and magic actually exist in the same |
| 4537s | universe question mark |
| 4540s | somehow |
| 4541s | i don't know i |
| 4547s | my favorite part about magic is is |
| 4549s | getting together and playing with |
| 4550s | friends and having fun and everything |
| 4551s | and you can still do that it doesn't |
| 4552s | matter and like i know a lot of people |
| 4553s | have different |
| 4555s | uh ips that they love and getting that |
| 4557s | all incorporated together is really cool |
| 4558s | seeing those crossovers |
| 4560s | there's some small part of me deep |
| 4563s | inside that's just like but that's not |
| 4565s | magic |
| 4568s | i don't know it's like something i've |
| 4569s | got to get over |
| 4572s | you know |
| 4575s | i think we could clean up our idols and |
| 4577s | get huge boost of power but right now |
| 4581s | i'm gonna see if we've got any nice |
| 4584s | legendary potential |
| 4586s | uh items to make |
| 4594s | me |
| 4597s | no no |
| 4599s | anything down here |
| 4600s | [Music] |
| 4602s | i mean yeah |
| 4605s | yeah i mean yeah |
| 4609s | is that worth doing |
| 4612s | we'll lose a bunch of health |
| 4615s | uh we get some skill points more bleed |
| 4618s | more movements which is nice |
| 4622s | if i could grab |
| 4630s | what's the hockey dump items just shift |
| 4632s | like right click yeah shift right click |
| 4634s | um |
| 4635s | right click will equip it |
| 4637s | um shift right click will move whatever |
| 4640s | item from um cross pane |
| 4643s | so |
| 4644s | my control key just came off my keyboard |
| 4651s | oh no |
| 4652s | come on i need a new control key uh so |
| 4656s | if you've got any any two panes |
| 4658s | uh shift right click will move it |
| 4660s | between those two |
| 4661s | it doesn't matter what it is if you have |
| 4663s | left right pain um shops stashes |
| 4666s | anything that's left right shift right |
| 4667s | click flips between them |
| 4675s | smear yourself with tomato ketchup or |
| 4677s | red food coloring |
| 4678s | wow |
| 4680s | uh just like how you designed the |
| 4681s | abomination fight but forgot the key |
| 4682s | mechanic of the fight well maybe |
| 4685s | yes |
| 4687s | i guess |
| 4691s | you're gonna that happened that happened |
| 4692s | recently didn't it i was just like |
| 4694s | i've got this |
| 4699s | uh |
| 4700s | yeah you know what let's do we have a |
| 4702s | unique belt or a an exalted belt with |
| 4705s | increased health on it that i can take |
| 4706s | in here to do this yes we do |
| 4712s | okay let's real quick |
| 4715s | we're gonna search belts |
| 4718s | oh my god there's so many belts |
| 4728s | we're just gonna hammer through this |
| 4730s | the higher one no |
| 4733s | there's gonna be like some huge lp belt |
| 4735s | in here somewhere i'm just gonna be like |
| 4739s | [Music] |
| 4745s | why is this actually the search oh cause |
| 4747s | it can be on belts wow |
| 4750s | search deep |
| 4761s | this is why we need a little bit more |
| 4762s | information in our search like some mild |
| 4766s | um |
| 4767s | regex type type commands that can go in |
| 4770s | here |
| 4771s | or rig x if you're a crazy person |
| 4778s | oh there's another good one |
| 4788s | that's less testing |
| 4791s | the paper tell |
| 4793s | okay |
| 4794s | uh so either one of those can turn into |
| 4800s | yeah i need a temple sanctum key done |
| 4809s | level 80 what am i 81 |
| 4813s | appropriately leveled |
| 4817s | uh when will the results of the first |
| 4820s | multiplayer ct test be posted um i |
| 4824s | i |
| 4825s | i i don't know i think it's the first |
| 4826s | answer i don't know if we will do like |
| 4829s | uh |
| 4830s | it lasted for this many minutes and it |
| 4832s | lasted for this many hours and it our um |
| 4835s | we had this many bugs or anything like |
| 4837s | that you know um |
| 4841s | i'm really not sure |
| 4850s | uh |
| 4852s | i feel like we should do something right |
| 4855s | it's it's hard though because there's a |
| 4856s | lot of |
| 4857s | a lot of the stuff that we |
| 4860s | were looking for that we were trying to |
| 4862s | monitor and were um |
| 4864s | like the like the reason we were doing |
| 4866s | it basically um is really boring and not |
| 4869s | exciting and |
| 4871s | uh |
| 4872s | mostly will just sound like stuff |
| 4874s | happened we learned things |
| 4877s | you know like |
| 4878s | um |
| 4881s | kind of the biggest thing is it went i |
| 4883s | like anecdotal stuff were like it went |
| 4885s | really well |
| 4887s | um |
| 4890s | i found myself talking |
| 4892s | to people more about here's here's |
| 4894s | something that that's fairly indicative |
| 4895s | of how it went i think |
| 4897s | um |
| 4898s | i found myself talking to people on the |
| 4901s | ct |
| 4902s | team |
| 4903s | more about |
| 4905s | design like game design |
| 4907s | uh things |
| 4908s | than |
| 4910s | i did about |
| 4912s | uh multiplayer functionality things |
| 4915s | like like the the hot topic of |
| 4916s | discussion was not multiplayer |
| 4920s | um |
| 4922s | because there wasn't really much to talk |
| 4923s | about because it was just kind of |
| 4924s | working you know um |
| 4934s | yeah |
| 4935s | there wasn't a big like oh my god this |
| 4937s | is terrible because of that it was just |
| 4939s | like well |
| 4940s | it works so |
| 4942s | that's it |
| 4944s | yeah |
| 4945s | phase shift through that door |
| 4954s | i do not know how to set that trick up |
| 4956s | properly or why it works or how to fix |
| 4958s | it but every once in a while i can pull |
| 4961s | it off |
| 4994s | all right uh i attacked with godzilla |
| 4997s | you blocked with the guy from the |
| 4999s | walking dead a space marine |
| 5002s | and vince from baldur's gate what about |
| 5004s | that isn't magic the gathering to you i |
| 5006s | guess we've gathered together everyone |
| 5011s | no like there's there's a lot of really |
| 5013s | awesome stuff and a lot of the mechanics |
| 5014s | that are showing up are so cool and like |
| 5017s | the design is ultra thematic there was |
| 5019s | um |
| 5021s | there's the the street fighter cards |
| 5023s | were so well done |
| 5026s | um but i still don't think i'd ever put |
| 5028s | a street fighter card in my deck |
| 5030s | you know like i had a ton of fun playing |
| 5032s | street fighter when i was a kid um i |
| 5034s | haven't played in years but like so i |
| 5036s | don't have a huge connection to the |
| 5037s | franchise but i don't know what it is |
| 5039s | about it i just yeah |
| 5042s | i don't know |
| 5049s | i i don't think it's going anywhere |
| 5051s | so i think we like we're gonna have to |
| 5054s | get used to it and come to terms with it |
| 5056s | uh |
| 5057s | regardless |
| 5060s | so the best thing we can do is have fun |
| 5070s | i am happy that for the most part the |
| 5071s | ones that are really far out of |
| 5074s | um |
| 5075s | like really far outside of the world so |
| 5078s | like the walking dead and |
| 5080s | uh stranger things um you know like they |
| 5083s | have uh they have in-law magic |
| 5086s | equivalencies and street fighter there's |
| 5087s | an indoor magic equivalency of that and |
| 5089s | like i i think that's really important |
| 5091s | and needs to be there for for |
| 5092s | specifically those those ones that are |
| 5094s | really far outside but 40k i think needs |
| 5095s | it too but i don't think it's going to |
| 5096s | get it i'm a little bit if that one's on |
| 5099s | the on the edge for me |
| 5103s | but things things like the dnd set so |
| 5105s | the dnd set is it's technically the same |
| 5107s | thing right like it's a different |
| 5108s | franchise but the |
| 5110s | the overall theming in the general |
| 5112s | setting is so similar that it feels like |
| 5115s | it could just be another magic plane |
| 5117s | right um and it like i would actually |
| 5119s | show so i have a ton of um dnd cards in |
| 5122s | in my decks i've a whole deck that's a |
| 5125s | venture into the dungeon deck |
| 5126s | um i love it but i guess just because it |
| 5129s | feels like it could be magic to me like |
| 5133s | um |
| 5134s | warhammer fantasy i think would fit |
| 5135s | really well |
| 5140s | see i guess that's the line for me |
| 5144s | it's gotta feel |
| 5145s | closer to the magic theming |
| 5153s | but really magic can be anything because |
| 5155s | you just go to a new plane you know |
| 5164s | my favorite part about playing magic is |
| 5166s | hanging with my friends |
| 5184s | yeah i'm sure the second ctmp test will |
| 5186s | be more uh will be better and more |
| 5187s | interesting |
| 5193s | i misremember the wording of the dev |
| 5195s | blog you released you said quote after |
| 5197s | the first series of tests with our |
| 5199s | community testers we'll be posting |
| 5201s | another update talking about how the |
| 5202s | test went okay yes we'll be doing that |
| 5205s | which means after multiple tests this is |
| 5207s | not this first one in particular my bad |
| 5209s | sorry yeah like um |
| 5212s | i i'm not sure when that'll happen or |
| 5215s | how many tests that means |
| 5217s | you're right the wording is a little |
| 5218s | ambiguous and it's probably intentional |
| 5220s | so we're not like |
| 5222s | because i i think i think we we all |
| 5225s | hoped and had um |
| 5228s | and sort of like |
| 5231s | knew how we |
| 5232s | uh |
| 5233s | thought the multiple tests was gonna go |
| 5235s | oh two in a row |
| 5237s | um but no one really was expecting |
| 5239s | anything in particular and we didn't |
| 5241s | want to um |
| 5245s | it's it's it's really short-term goals |
| 5247s | so we're we're only looking |
| 5249s | you know like it's nascar just like just |
| 5250s | around the next corner or whatever or |
| 5252s | anything my dad's gonna be completely |
| 5253s | wrong that's how i look at it um |
| 5257s | where you're not really looking super |
| 5258s | far ahead it's just |
| 5260s | like the next the next step really and |
| 5263s | we do look pretty far ahead but we can't |
| 5265s | really we can't make expectations i get |
| 5267s | it i guess there is the better way to |
| 5269s | put it |
| 5272s | oh boy |
| 5275s | because we can't say like okay we're |
| 5276s | gonna do |
| 5277s | these |
| 5278s | uh we're gonna release this at this time |
| 5279s | and this is another time we know it's |
| 5281s | gonna go this well because |
| 5283s | it could be a huge problem that just |
| 5284s | derails everything |
| 5292s | something something the best laid plans |
| 5294s | of mason men |
| 5295s | finally i will have its power |
| 5301s | okay bye |
| 5305s | yeah let's go |
| 5308s | let's go |
| 5311s | can you post can can you post a |
| 5314s | highlight reel of the ct's |
| 5316s | dying set to the tune of betty hill |
| 5319s | [Laughter] |
| 5321s | oh well i don't i don't think we have uh |
| 5324s | ah like a bunch of video footage |
| 5326s | everyone dying i don't know if there was |
| 5327s | many deaths really |
| 5332s | there were definitely some there was |
| 5334s | some someone died a whole bunch |
| 5340s | uh what what do you think about lord of |
| 5342s | the rings imagine the gathering then i |
| 5344s | think yeah like it's it's real close i |
| 5346s | think i'd be able to accept it a little |
| 5348s | bit easier |
| 5349s | um |
| 5354s | it would fit great |
| 5357s | i don't know i still wouldn't |
| 5359s | if if it was if it was entirely up to me |
| 5361s | and magic was only being made for me in |
| 5363s | the most selfish way possible |
| 5366s | um |
| 5367s | we would not include lord of the rings |
| 5369s | in magic even though lord of the rings |
| 5370s | is one of my favorite franchises of all |
| 5372s | time |
| 5388s | i demand to know when i can start |
| 5389s | shuffling up withdrawal shade of orvis |
| 5392s | uh anatera dual deck herod versus raya |
| 5396s | do they do dual decks anymore |
| 5399s | i would love this so like so i say this |
| 5401s | whole thing about like not wanting to |
| 5402s | have these other franchises and |
| 5403s | everything and um |
| 5405s | around the time season three of game of |
| 5407s | thrones the tv show came out |
| 5409s | um i made |
| 5411s | a |
| 5413s | um game of thrones themed draft set so |
| 5415s | it's it's based on seasons one and two |
| 5417s | and i plan to do |
| 5418s | uh seasons three and four another set |
| 5420s | and then finish out to seven with uh a |
| 5422s | final set |
| 5424s | i and i fell off i was started working |
| 5426s | on epoch so i couldn't uh couldn't |
| 5428s | finish it properly but i finished the |
| 5430s | first set i actually have one sec |
| 5445s | i actually have |
| 5447s | a |
| 5450s | ready to go |
| 5451s | it's probably horrible now but like |
| 5453s | little packs of |
| 5455s | like cards in three booster pack |
| 5459s | bundles |
| 5460s | for drafting ready to go of a fully |
| 5463s | game of thrones themed set |
| 5466s | you know |
| 5469s | and |
| 5471s | um |
| 5473s | like my friends and i drafted a couple |
| 5475s | times i made i made sam way too strong |
| 5478s | by mistake |
| 5482s | uh |
| 5484s | so there's a few balance issues there |
| 5485s | but like i had a ton of fun with that |
| 5488s | and everything and i feel like that sort |
| 5489s | of thing kind of belongs in fan projects |
| 5491s | and not official products i don't know |
| 5494s | i i'm so torn on it i have no idea what |
| 5496s | the right thing is |
| 5498s | how do you make sam overpowered he was a |
| 5501s | uh |
| 5502s | a two mana |
| 5503s | zero to |
| 5505s | the taps to scribe for two i think is |
| 5507s | what it was i could be wrong exactly |
| 5509s | what it was |
| 5510s | but um |
| 5511s | that's like it was just that like really |
| 5513s | easy access to scry2 and draft and he |
| 5516s | was common or un he was uncommon so like |
| 5518s | one of my friends ended up with three of |
| 5520s | them in his deck and he was just like |
| 5523s | digging through his deck for all the |
| 5524s | best cards so efficiently |
| 5532s | come on girl |
| 5558s | escape is impossible |
| 5566s | not happening |
| 5584s | escape is impossible |
| 5601s | that's fine |
| 5606s | oh come on |
| 5626s | oh |
| 5631s | i created a new mechanic for that set |
| 5633s | which i realized was ill-conceived now |
| 5636s | um |
| 5637s | whereby you could basically bribe |
| 5640s | any cell sword to like fight for you if |
| 5642s | you had the mana |
| 5643s | so it was like |
| 5645s | um |
| 5646s | just like creatures that sit on the |
| 5648s | board and you could like anyone could |
| 5649s | just like pay the mana and just like pay |
| 5650s | for them to come over to your sides |
| 5651s | they're like really good and cheap but |
| 5653s | they just be taken away from you |
| 5654s | someone's willing to pay more and every |
| 5656s | time someone pays the price goes up |
| 5675s | oh |
| 5678s | i just like didn't see my health plummet |
| 5680s | there oh it's so close to dying |
| 5683s | right at the finish line that was scary |
| 5692s | that's a cool helmet i don't really want |
| 5694s | it |
| 5694s | pick it up |
| 5699s | icdr |
| 5703s | yeah |
| 5706s | let's go make our belt |
| 5710s | let's go make all right uh here we go |
| 5714s | oops grip there there |
| 5716s | right this one doesn't work because |
| 5717s | there's two slots there's no which one |
| 5718s | to find okay first wait what am i doing |
| 5720s | first we're going to try and get these |
| 5722s | up to as good as we can get so which |
| 5724s | one's the best one |
| 5726s | to work off of |
| 5733s | um |
| 5736s | business because it's got the highest |
| 5738s | health stat |
| 5741s | um and then we want to reroll this |
| 5748s | crit avoidance is really nice though |
| 5750s | actually |
| 5751s | uh elemental narration cold damage no |
| 5754s | necron damage knows about that |
| 5756s | that's too bad |
| 5758s | physical damage would be okay |
| 5762s | fortune control is gone |
| 5764s | okay should have upgraded the other |
| 5765s | stuff that's okay |
| 5769s | my uh image is on the wrong side |
| 5774s | we're gonna come back and uh do this |
| 5776s | properly now you know a big deal |
| 5779s | we're just gonna |
| 5780s | bump the endurance real quick |
| 5788s | yeah |
| 5790s | yeah |
| 5795s | okay |
| 5797s | i think we're just going to roll for the |
| 5798s | bigger health |
| 5801s | those are the increased physical damage |
| 5802s | the crit strike avoidances are both nice |
| 5804s | stats |
| 5810s | let's go |
| 5820s | i'm late what did i miss you know what |
| 5822s | aaron i haven't done anything |
| 5825s | i haven't done anything at all |
| 5829s | oh i'll put something up here i've got |
| 5830s | i've got a legendary in the cache right |
| 5832s | now |
| 5833s | um we don't know what it is |
| 5837s | sitting there |
| 5849s | here is a little tease of a new piece of |
| 5851s | gear |
| 5853s | oh ah |
| 5855s | that's pretty cool |
| 5859s | oops oh no i didn't show it |
| 5861s | there we go |
| 5865s | so there's that |
| 5868s | which i like |
| 5873s | oh yes the good old point blank mm issue |
| 5876s | yeah |
| 5885s | a lag on staff oh yeah |
| 5888s | okay |
| 5889s | see what we got |
| 5893s | these not what i wanted but good |
| 5898s | we do we lose a bunch of health how much |
| 5899s | health do we lose that's like 280 health |
| 5902s | 282 health |
| 5904s | it's a fair bit |
| 5908s | but i think the other stats are worth it |
| 5917s | can i shoot i-beams that item i don't |
| 5918s | think so |
| 5920s | be cool though wouldn't it |
| 5926s | all right we got two legendaries on our |
| 5928s | gear on our character now yeah |
| 5934s | i guess the increased throwing attack |
| 5936s | speed this does actually increase the |
| 5937s | rate that we toss out decoy which is |
| 5939s | nice |
| 5941s | so there's something |
| 5948s | what do we want to do |
| 5950s | which time you got what time is it oh |
| 5952s | you know what let's go |
| 5956s | let's just go start a monolith |
| 5958s | just start a model let's roll through it |
| 5961s | why not right we've got two more to |
| 5963s | finish before we get to oh one more |
| 5965s | finish we're almost unempowered i have |
| 5967s | not gotten too empowered |
| 5970s | monoliths on any character on stream yet |
| 5972s | because i always switch too soon i'm |
| 5974s | really enjoying this marksman |
| 5982s | yes aaron that is a staff |
| 5985s | it's a lovely staff |
| 5997s | okay and so ruin your fun there |
| 6001s | all right where's my experience nodes |
| 6003s | this way here we go |
| 6005s | onward onto the abyss |
| 6017s | i think something really interesting |
| 6019s | that i've been uh hearing as a general |
| 6021s | sentiment from people recently is |
| 6022s | like wanting more stuff to do in a lot |
| 6025s | of these situations |
| 6027s | in epoch |
| 6029s | um |
| 6031s | i think last week i may have |
| 6033s | um |
| 6037s | not really address the concern very well |
| 6041s | um so i apologize for that first off |
| 6043s | and and i think a more um |
| 6047s | appropriate or genuine way of of talking |
| 6050s | about those concerns which are |
| 6051s | completely valid first off is is is more |
| 6054s | that um |
| 6058s | like just just yeah we're gonna keep |
| 6060s | adding new stuff and yeah we know there |
| 6061s | needs to be more stuff and and |
| 6063s | like |
| 6064s | there's i think a general lack of |
| 6067s | 82 |
| 6069s | available things to do like the in the |
| 6071s | monolith we'd love there to be more |
| 6073s | little things more activities to to to |
| 6075s | take on and do as you're going through |
| 6076s | the monolith um |
| 6079s | and i think for people like a lot of you |
| 6080s | who are here who played a long time |
| 6083s | um |
| 6084s | i think |
| 6086s | probably feel this a lot more than um |
| 6089s | maybe new players or people haven't |
| 6091s | played in a while things like that and |
| 6093s | that's not to say it's it's not valid or |
| 6094s | anything like that we |
| 6096s | definitely need that we are |
| 6098s | right now really focusing on getting to |
| 6100s | that 1.0 mark |
| 6102s | um and a lot of these things where we're |
| 6103s | like hey we need more of this we need |
| 6104s | more we need more dungeons we need more |
| 6106s | things to do in the dungeons we need |
| 6107s | more engaging dungeons we need more uh |
| 6110s | we need more things to do in the model |
| 6111s | if we need more engaging monoliths you |
| 6113s | know all these things like that is |
| 6116s | um it's all problems that we're working |
| 6118s | and all problems that we are |
| 6120s | trying to add things to slowly and and |
| 6122s | build up and build the quality up on all |
| 6123s | these things and and they'll they'll |
| 6124s | definitely be improved and be changed |
| 6126s | and get added onto and all these sorts |
| 6128s | of things |
| 6129s | um |
| 6130s | prioritizing what order all that happens |
| 6133s | in is really the hard part |
| 6134s | and um |
| 6137s | right now i think our priority really is |
| 6139s | on |
| 6140s | um |
| 6141s | getting a version of last epoch out that |
| 6144s | we can say this is a complete game |
| 6146s | um |
| 6148s | that has room for improvement |
| 6151s | and has room for expansion and has room |
| 6153s | for new and interesting evolutions |
| 6158s | but having that like here is a full |
| 6160s | complete game because it's i think lasky |
| 6161s | [ __ ] amazing right now but i don't |
| 6163s | think it's quite a full complete game |
| 6167s | that's why we haven't released yet |
| 6174s | i just wanted to take a second |
| 6177s | mention that hopefully hopefully that |
| 6178s | makes people happy |
| 6185s | so new in-game lightning staff dropped |
| 6187s | by legon |
| 6189s | i don't wanna i don't wanna |
| 6192s | talk anything about that item |
| 6194s | if i'm being honest |
| 6195s | i saw it for the first time today myself |
| 6215s | i've been told there is a message taking |
| 6217s | off in the last epoch discord under |
| 6219s | suggestions i'd like to see can you |
| 6220s | confirm |
| 6223s | no because i |
| 6225s | uh haven't seen that actually |
| 6229s | sweet i haven't haven't checked the |
| 6230s | suggestions thread in |
| 6233s | uh almost two days now which is really |
| 6235s | long for me usually i check it multiple |
| 6237s | times a day |
| 6249s | i'm sorry i don't know what it says i |
| 6251s | guess i could look really quick couldn't |
| 6252s | i |
| 6259s | oh my goodness |
| 6269s | lauren the set oh it's it's something |
| 6270s | that i said that's being quoted |
| 6274s | but |
| 6279s | uh up it looks like it's highlighting |
| 6282s | about how it uses way more cpu than gpu |
| 6287s | that might be what you're talking about |
| 6289s | it was yesterday |
| 6297s | oh there's a lot of reading there |
| 6303s | ugh |
| 6327s | i i don't have to read all this right |
| 6328s | now okay |
| 6329s | i'll go look out later |
| 6337s | and so i'm not just running around in |
| 6338s | circles out of the corner of my eye |
| 6341s | to not die |
| 6348s | uh our concepts already underway post |
| 6350s | 1.0 for in-game content oh yeah terms uh |
| 6354s | in terms of entirely new systems the |
| 6355s | core is fine right now in terms of the |
| 6357s | foundation yeah there's |
| 6359s | um |
| 6361s | there's all sorts of end game systems |
| 6362s | that we've |
| 6363s | uh |
| 6364s | talked about or like um |
| 6367s | put design time into and been like okay |
| 6369s | we'd love to do something like this or |
| 6370s | we'd love to do something themed around |
| 6371s | this or um you know something to to to |
| 6374s | get people um doing this type of |
| 6376s | activity and um open up like this other |
| 6380s | type of scaling or something like that |
| 6381s | or um |
| 6383s | you know you know there's there's all |
| 6384s | sorts of things that uh |
| 6387s | we've got ideas that we want to do and |
| 6388s | there's some that are definitely like |
| 6391s | more |
| 6393s | uh in the like |
| 6396s | higher priority category than others |
| 6399s | but if there's one thing we're not short |
| 6401s | on its ideas |
| 6409s | that's something we're not sure about is |
| 6410s | good ideas there's a lot of really good |
| 6412s | ideas the heart the hardest part is |
| 6415s | picking the best ideas |
| 6421s | did i walk right past it i did |
| 6438s | that's all right mike stand right beside |
| 6440s | your decoy that'll be a good idea |
| 6444s | they won't be able to tell which one's |
| 6446s | which |
| 6447s | so smart |
| 6461s | uh that's the last message you described |
| 6462s | under suggestions and like to see |
| 6464s | uh you'll know when you see it wink |
| 6467s | oh mcfluffins like |
| 6469s | this there's some like uh some there's |
| 6471s | some texture that's missing from his |
| 6473s | game files or something |
| 6475s | or not rendering properly |
| 6488s | oh that's volcanic orb and pictures of |
| 6491s | rats |
| 6492s | ah |
| 6493s | okay |
| 6494s | [Applause] |
| 6495s | i'm with you |
| 6497s | i understand what's going on it took me |
| 6499s | quite a while to figure it out because |
| 6501s | i'm real slow |
| 6507s | yep |
| 6510s | i think uh it would be irresponsible |
| 6514s | to do that |
| 6524s | i'm sure there will be some meme options |
| 6527s | for |
| 6528s | cosmetics that appear at some point |
| 6552s | too busy creating an awesome golem item |
| 6554s | yeah i actually finished that this |
| 6554s | morning |
| 6557s | i actually finished that this morning |
| 6561s | i had a there was one little bug where |
| 6563s | you could still summon skeleton warriors |
| 6565s | you someone one warrior all the time no |
| 6566s | matter what i'm just like this one won't |
| 6569s | go away |
| 6574s | he just wouldn't leave me alone |
| 6579s | be my friend |
| 6586s | oh i'm not merged into the main branch |
| 6587s | so it still has all the old stuff in it |
| 6589s | too |
| 6592s | i'm gonna make a pr for it as soon as |
| 6594s | we're done streaming |
| 6604s | llama decoy |
| 6606s | yeah stuff like that |
| 6609s | that'd be great |
| 6613s | are there plans for aspirational content |
| 6615s | yes |
| 6616s | uh like ubers and d2 or half the bosses |
| 6618s | and people where you need to have sick |
| 6620s | gear to do |
| 6621s | uh and get a possibly random reward in |
| 6623s | other words ellie help fire torch win |
| 6625s | yeah um |
| 6626s | definitely |
| 6627s | yes |
| 6629s | um |
| 6630s | when |
| 6631s | i don't know |
| 6637s | um |
| 6640s | like that that may that it's possible |
| 6641s | that may not even show up until i post |
| 6643s | launch really |
| 6645s | in like a full-fledged form |
| 6647s | of like |
| 6652s | like really a lot of stuff it's possible |
| 6656s | might be before it might not be i don't |
| 6658s | know |
| 6660s | and that's i think that would fall into |
| 6661s | that category of um |
| 6664s | it depends how much time multiplayer |
| 6666s | takes to finish you know like if |
| 6669s | multiplayer takes less time than we |
| 6670s | expect to finish yeah it's a good chance |
| 6672s | if multiple takes um |
| 6674s | more time than we expect to finish nah |
| 6676s | it's probably what i have before launch |
| 6677s | like it's it's probably in that category |
| 6681s | which is like |
| 6682s | half the features that we want to put |
| 6695s | basically everything's in that category |
| 6700s | finish multiplayer and then see what |
| 6702s | else we have time to put in for |
| 6715s | it is so hot in here i can't open that |
| 6718s | door it looks good hotter |
| 6719s | oh my |
| 6721s | goodness okay you know what we've got a |
| 6724s | little little video to show you |
| 6729s | baboon |
| 6756s | yeah so this is a |
| 6759s | new armor set |
| 6761s | looks pretty sweet |
| 6763s | pumped for it |
| 6766s | uh yeah |
| 6775s | one more rotation here we go |
| 6786s | appreciate the emphasis on knee and shin |
| 6788s | safety in this armor |
| 6791s | hey yeah like knees are |
| 6795s | so important i have |
| 6796s | awful knees |
| 6798s | and it sucks |
| 6801s | it's weird thing where like one of the |
| 6803s | nerves like |
| 6804s | runs along the side of my knee in the |
| 6805s | wrong way and it like |
| 6810s | whenever i skate it gets really bad so i |
| 6813s | like have to take my knee my hands and |
| 6815s | like wrap them around my knee and go |
| 6817s | like this really hard on the sides of my |
| 6818s | knee in order to like push it back into |
| 6821s | the right spot |
| 6824s | or else i like can't skate properly |
| 6830s | the only thing a lot of people don't |
| 6830s | know when you're skating you're actually |
| 6831s | pushing to the side not back you don't |
| 6833s | you don't push yourself |
| 6835s | um you don't like you you you keep your |
| 6838s | feet |
| 6840s | yeah like you're pushing to the side not |
| 6841s | pushing back |
| 6844s | and like it's a completely different |
| 6845s | motion than walking |
| 6861s | foreign |
| 6876s | i can't wait to be able to play hockey |
| 6877s | again oh |
| 6885s | man i miss it |
| 6892s | after after um it's like it's calming |
| 6894s | down it's not gone everything but like |
| 6896s | it's getting a little better and things |
| 6897s | are starting to open up again and |
| 6898s | everything and i've i've had several |
| 6900s | friends who i used to play hockey with |
| 6901s | call me up out of the blue just be like |
| 6903s | we need more people around our teams |
| 6904s | after the pandemic and i'm like yeah |
| 6907s | pandemic's not over from you guys uh |
| 6910s | i'll call you when i'm comfortable |
| 6921s | boy i'd love to play |
| 6927s | one more leak one more leak one more |
| 6929s | leak don't have any more leaks sorry |
| 6931s | about that just the two |
| 6941s | are there was some verbal leaks i said |
| 6942s | some stuff earlier i'm sure you'll watch |
| 6944s | back there and see |
| 6948s | i heard a lot of concerns from people |
| 6950s | when multiplayer released a majority of |
| 6952s | the players will jump onto le trying it |
| 6955s | out and expecting a full-fledged game |
| 6956s | already then being disappointed are |
| 6958s | there plans from each side to clearly |
| 6960s | communicate hey |
| 6962s | this multiplayer but now we will ramp up |
| 6964s | our content patch cycles to finish up |
| 6965s | the features that are missing i mean |
| 6967s | yeah i think it'll be really clear that |
| 6968s | like this is still an early access title |
| 6970s | when multiplayer launches it's the |
| 6972s | game's not out yet |
| 6974s | it's an early access title it's still in |
| 6977s | development |
| 6978s | um |
| 6979s | hopefully that's gonna be obvious and |
| 6981s | clear to people |
| 6982s | um |
| 6986s | i'm not sure it will be |
| 6990s | but i'll uh i guess i'll try and make |
| 6992s | sure it is |
| 6997s | maybe that's just like maybe that comes |
| 6999s | from having been a part of a lot of |
| 7002s | those types of things before in the past |
| 7003s | and understanding that |
| 7005s | like what a non one point something plus |
| 7009s | um |
| 7010s | like like having having a version number |
| 7012s | that's less than one what that means |
| 7015s | um |
| 7018s | but i'd hope that most people that were |
| 7019s | involved in it would still appreciate |
| 7021s | that |
| 7032s | do you think that'll be a problem do you |
| 7034s | think that'll be a comprehension problem |
| 7037s | i hope not |
| 7041s | i don't think that that's that clear |
| 7042s | gamers are not that way oh am i am i |
| 7045s | just a weirdo |
| 7051s | well i know i'm a weirdo but |
| 7061s | i feel like most people would inherently |
| 7063s | understand that |
| 7065s | an unreleased product that's still in |
| 7067s | development is not complete |
| 7070s | no |
| 7077s | easy too easy |
| 7085s | like if if someone got a hold of a or if |
| 7088s | they like released movies |
| 7090s | before they were done like the cgi is |
| 7091s | not finished and like |
| 7094s | um |
| 7096s | and also stuff i feel like people would |
| 7097s | inherently be able to understand that |
| 7099s | okay the movie's not out yet and |
| 7101s | um you can't judge this based on a full |
| 7103s | release title and all those sorts of |
| 7105s | things or maybe i'm just completely out |
| 7107s | to lunch and they would do the same |
| 7108s | thing for that too |
| 7119s | not happening |
| 7121s | is this one of those i don't understand |
| 7123s | how people think problems |
| 7142s | [Music] |
| 7145s | uh was that the mage armor leak |
| 7148s | different than the t61 shown during the |
| 7150s | last dead blog i don't know i can |
| 7152s | honestly i can't remember what was shown |
| 7153s | in the last episode |
| 7160s | i think that was a problem for like |
| 7162s | valheim but i see gamers figured it out |
| 7165s | yeah that's a good point actually |
| 7170s | different armory sk okay yes yes it is |
| 7171s | different |
| 7174s | i seriously think there will be a large |
| 7175s | portion of players uh writing ellie off |
| 7178s | after they uh |
| 7180s | jumped on it when multiplayer is |
| 7182s | released and not being satisfied i mean |
| 7189s | the like the horrible |
| 7192s | answer to that is like well i guess |
| 7193s | we'll just delay multiplayer until we |
| 7195s | release the whole game |
| 7199s | don't worry not happening |
| 7214s | well |
| 7215s | we are at time |
| 7218s | if anyone's got any very last second |
| 7219s | questions i might be able to slip one in |
| 7220s | but for now |
| 7228s | i hope you had fun i know i did |
| 7230s | from everyone here at 11th hour games |
| 7235s | i hope you have a great day |
| 7237s | i hope you have a great week i hope you |
| 7238s | have a great time doing whatever you're |
| 7240s | doing |
