257s | bad all |
260s | right where's our Elemental Nova oo |
263s | let's take those and |
267s | those are you going for the community |
269s | spotlight build for the monthly |
270s | newsletter yeah yeah I'm going to give |
272s | it a |
273s | shot uh have you guys decided on a date |
276s | to release the engine upgrade no I don't |
278s | think so I'm not sure |
280s | though I got back from holidays and I'm |
282s | like all right let's uh crack open this |
284s | triple digit ping count and see what I |
286s | can uh see I can get started |
296s | on a lot of those were automated just |
298s | like here's a meeting that happens every |
301s | week that you missed because the studio |
302s | was |
307s | closed oh yeah oh he just got like a |
310s | chest crack pop thing felt weird um all |
314s | right next question in the next season |
316s | will there be exclusive content we won't |
318s | see in |
319s | Legacy Ah that's a good question I don't |
322s | know the answer I so um what we did last |
326s | time and I I sort of assume this is what |
328s | we would do next time as well so |
331s | we're we're guessing here but I think |
334s | um as we did last time anything that was |
337s | exclusive was eventually brought |
339s | everywhere once it was like unlocked or |
341s | once it was like completed in the in the |
344s | initial uh new |
346s | season I'm I'm training myself to use |
348s | season instead of cycle we're getting |
350s | okay at |
352s | it going to pass it get some damage I |
355s | should taking the in instead actually |
357s | that's okay |
360s | let's go straight for Nova damage |
371s | area you can have that kill Grail |
377s | ooh we'll take crit chance I guess I |
380s | could be just crafting couldn't |
384s | I like let's uh's Discovery there we go |
391s | all that Health |
395s | yeah youever still better than what I |
397s | was |
403s | wearing |
405s | yeah |
407s | uh am I burning one of |
413s | those come on quit double |
416s | clicking membrane of my mouse is going |
420s | all |
422s | right yeah so I don't I don't think |
424s | anything will be exclusive to Legacy if |
426s | if anything there might be a slight time |
428s | delay on something um but I'm pretty |
431s | sure everything's just available |
435s | everywhere right next one hey how are |
438s | you pretty great can you tell us |
440s | everything about season 2 I |
442s | could um but I'd be wrong about half of |
445s | it and I'd get in a lot of trouble if |
448s | I'm not going to I'm sorry |
453s | well done we're almost there I'll see |
456s | you ahead stuff equipped so we can pitch |
458s | the base ones can't really upgrade |
462s | those move |
477s | speed now we're cooking |
484s | all |
485s | right is it worth waiting for the April |
487s | update how big will it be um I |
490s | mean is it worth waiting for it is such |
492s | a hard thing to answer I think the |
494s | game's fantastic right now uh and if |
496s | you're interested in it I would I don't |
498s | know I'd suggest jumping in and playing |
499s | for a little bit and getting your |
501s | getting your feet wet and having some |
502s | fun |
504s | um taking a break and coming back and |
506s | playing in April I think there's lots of |
507s | time for that um but I mean if you've |
509s | got other things or to play to you don't |
511s | need to so it's it's kind of a hard |
513s | question to answer it is going to be a |
514s | very substantial update |
517s | um let's join these guys that's on the |
520s | other one before I go I have an offer |
523s | for you there's something about you that |
526s | I like I don't know why I was leveling |
527s | stuff up just pull stuff out right |
530s | now like nothing useful |
532s | though uh cuz I'm way too low level |
540s | there going to be |
546s | some like might as well |
551s | right that better exter armor is that |
555s | Attunement doesn't really |
564s | matter keeper gloves |
570s | just put every unique on we |
578s | can there we are that's what I was |
580s | looking |
582s | for should be good |
593s | otherwise might as well slap a shield on |
595s | right |
607s | I mean we could just go straight |
610s | into |
621s | melee gra was just one but not you could |
625s | they do this and our alliance is secure |
628s | we'll lend our Aid to |
630s | all |
634s | right a lot of the a lot of the stuff in |
636s | April is uh focused around like ingame |
639s | content |
640s | and uh so |
644s | like I I don't know it's it's it's so |
646s | hard to say that cuz obviously I just |
647s | want to be like yeah play the game now |
648s | it's great it's tons of fun um and I |
652s | think that's true but I don't want to be |
654s | like I don't know I have a hard time |
657s | with things like this |
661s | mer star update no I don't have anything |
664s | for you I'm sorry I'd love to uh any |
667s | news on the public API we're looking |
669s | forward to starting a uh building a |
671s | little tool so us usually when this gets |
674s | asked there is |
677s | um if you asked this before I've |
679s | probably given you the same answer |
680s | before as well um it's probably not |
682s | going to include some stuff you're |
683s | hoping for it to include |
688s | uh but I think the the API version that |
691s | we do have is still in like preview |
694s | mode |
697s | ends what are you hoping for it to do I |
700s | guess be my my |
704s | [Music] |
706s | question you can oh thanks Aaron TKA to |
709s | try uh is coming to the podcast with |
711s | Frosty and Aaron so that'll be happening |
713s | shortly after the dev |
716s | stream fun stuff |
731s | no uh |
741s | no uh more questions are there any areas |
744s | of the games you guys need more |
745s | Community feedback on I mean everywhere |
748s | we're always we always love feedback um |
750s | um I don't know if there's a specific |
752s | area where we're like o I wish someone |
754s | would start giving us feedback here um |
756s | but yeah I mean there's there's always |
757s | room for feedback in basically every |
759s | section of the game so something that |
760s | you're uh playing I guess whatever |
762s | you're naturally playing um is is where |
765s | we want the feedback |
768s | really cuz also areas that we don't see |
771s | much feedback from it can kind of mean a |
773s | couple things as well it can mean that |
774s | people just aren't playing it cuz they |
775s | don't find it like uh enticing to do |
778s | initially or they aren't playing it |
780s | because there's something about it |
781s | that's not fun so they stop doing it um |
784s | so sometimes the lack of feedback kind |
785s | of in a weird roundabout way is |
803s | feedback oh |
805s | yeah free chain lightning I'll take it |
813s | it's like the best thing to get right |
818s | here are there any areas of the G that |
822s | Master Sword Mike I'm not familiar can |
825s | you share more on your recent Life |
827s | Changes uh yeah I mean it's really not a |
830s | lot to share I decided to lose a bunch |
833s | of weight and I |
835s | did um dropped about a third of my body |
838s | weight |
840s | in a healthy and controlled way for your |
843s | diet and |
844s | exercise that's the important |
857s | part I I didn't so because you only see |
860s | like here up of me it was kind of hard |
862s | to tell but uh I was not healthy for a |
865s | while |
866s | there |
868s | now all right it wasn't a real vacation |
871s | if you haven't collected 100 plus males |
873s | when you come back |
878s | yep that is the |
881s | truth Fireball we're getting all the |
884s | good |
890s | ones this is wonderful |
896s | cruising oh so easy |
901s | all right um as it is right now Arena |
905s | keys are mostly used for specific unique |
907s | drops or prophecy completion got any |
909s | plans to buff the |
911s | rewards |
915s | um I think |
919s | there's I not specifically no um I do |
922s | think that it's a good thing that |
923s | there's rewards that are less uh |
926s | individually exciting where you're like |
928s | less sought after but still things that |
929s | you do kind of want to have access to a |
931s | little bit here and there um |
935s | the we are expanding the way endgame |
938s | works and the way uh the number of |
940s | rewards you'll have access to so you'll |
942s | see if you're not going to actively seek |
945s | out um Arena Keys you'll probably see a |
948s | little bit fewer of them and if you are |
950s | actively seeking them out you'll |
952s | probably see a little bit more of |
954s | them |
957s | um so yeah it's |
962s | there is some changes there but it's |
963s | kind of incidental changes um but I |
965s | think it'll be positive for what you're |
967s | hoping for given the way that was |
971s | FR uh do you think you could be Grail in |
973s | a 1 V one fight if you had a weapon of |
975s | your choice like like me personally if |
979s | if gril was like a real person probably |
981s | not |
983s | um I mean unless that weapon of choice |
986s | is like a modern weapon |
993s | but I would try for |
995s | Honor uh as it is right now Arena |
999s | Keys uh sorry if this is asked before |
1002s | that's quite all right rep questions are |
1004s | welcome here we get them all the time |
1006s | it's no big deal um but I haven't seen |
1009s | too much about the engine upgrade uh |
1012s | since the posts what kind of stuff is |
1013s | changing with that so there's there's |
1015s | not going to be um as far as like most |
1018s | people's experience when they when we do |
1021s | uh release the engine update you're |
1022s | probably going to be in one of two camps |
1024s | and this is this is just a post |
1025s | something I said |
1027s | earlier um on the forums and it's |
1029s | basically you're going to go did did did |
1032s | something change like what it's exactly |
1034s | the same or you're going to be like hey |
1036s | that weird random bug that I had that uh |
1040s | no one believed me was was actually |
1041s | there it suddenly fixed itself even |
1043s | though it wasn't patch noted it just |
1045s | disappeared um you know it's you're |
1047s | probably going to be in one of those two |
1048s | camps |
1051s | and uh what the big thing is it does is |
1054s | it's going to give us access to some new |
1057s | tools and some new technologies that we |
1058s | can use to uh fix bugs add new things to |
1061s | the game um there's some of some of the |
1063s | new uh features that we're adding for |
1065s | 1.2 required us to upgrade the engine |
1069s | um you know so there's there's a lot of |
1072s | stuff that um you're going to see in 1.2 |
1076s | that will be a result of of having that |
1078s | but uh the the actual engine upgrade |
1080s | patch probably won't change too too much |
1082s | right out of the |
1084s | gate part of it is um like we we've just |
1087s | been testing it a ton cuz stability is |
1089s | really important and having a a smooth |
1092s | gameplay experience is really important |
1093s | and one of the big things we've been |
1095s | doing with uh the reason why it's taken |
1096s | a little bit here is because we've been |
1098s | just testing it like crazy um and part |
1100s | of the reason we are releasing the |
1102s | engine update sort of on its own before |
1105s | the um before 1.2 is so that we have |
1108s | that that time to if there's any little |
1110s | things that we missed for stability and |
1111s | stuff like that we can catch it um in a |
1114s | more controlled environment so we're |
1116s | doing just pieces at a time instead of |
1118s | the whole like 1.2 and the engine update |
1121s | the exact same time it if you don't know |
1123s | why Orion is just just playing it safe |
1126s | all it |
1127s | is |
1129s | um I just one more |
1137s | damage cuz we just like take |
1140s | damage it's pretty |
1146s | good all right any |
1149s | specific nerves to semi oh Nerfs uh to |
1152s | semic conic builds uh yeah there's going |
1154s | to be some Nerfs there's going to be |
1155s | some Buffs there's going to be some uh |
1159s | rebalancing of All Sorts new |
1160s | functionality all that sort of stuff |
1163s | um we are looking to you know bring the |
1168s | the real heavy outliers in both |
1170s | directions closer to the pack and we |
1173s | don't want every build to perform |
1174s | identically to each other but you know |
1176s | having um having such a big range is |
1179s | probably not ideal right |
1183s | now right let's get flame one on the |
1190s | bar can't hurt to have it fools fools |
1200s | I didn't even look what that one |
1202s | was yeah I'll take |
1206s | that am I just like Invincible right |
1212s | now oh actually you I'm wasting so much |
1216s | stuff right now and that's |
1219s | okay need |
1224s | help wow did did did it actually get any |
1228s | better from the B version I don't |
1243s | know all |
1245s | right yeah if you have a question please |
1247s | put at last Epoch game in the question |
1249s | so I know you're looking for me to |
1251s | answer it |
1257s | specifically I've been leveling Alt with |
1259s | that faction Waypoint unlock it's going |
1260s | to be so much better soon yeah it |
1262s | doesn't just to be clear that faction |
1263s | Waypoint unlock doesn't like you can't |
1265s | walk out so like right right now um I |
1269s | can't actually go to I don't think I can |
1272s | actually go there can I yeah cuz it's |
1273s | it's locked so it unlocks dur in the |
1275s | campaign um I can't like warp there |
1277s | right |
1278s | now where is it yeah I can't just |
1282s | go |
1283s | um but you like when we do unlock |
1288s | that in the update um you won't be able |
1292s | to physically walk out of here into the |
1294s | upper District so you won't be able to |
1295s | jump ahead in the campaign just just |
1297s | just to be clear and it does say that in |
1298s | the post |
1299s | but want to make sure |
1301s | that's |
1312s | obvious outside of outside of the big |
1314s | Sentinel skill changes will the other |
1316s | classes also have some dramatic skill |
1319s | changes interactions or will they have |
1321s | more numerical updates um there's going |
1323s | to be a whole host of both so there's |
1325s | going to be um I would say more |
1329s | mechanical changes on Sentinel than the |
1331s | other four combined cuz there's a lot on |
1333s | Sentinel um but everyone gets |
1338s | something and I mean there's there's |
1340s | like there can be things as small as |
1343s | like a unique item can have a a new |
1345s | unique item can have a huge impact on a |
1347s | build and a class in the way it plays |
1349s | and all that sort of thing so um you |
1351s | know like there's there's changes in |
1352s | passives there's changes in skill trees |
1354s | there's changes in all sorts of stuff |
1356s | all over the place um Sentinel is just |
1358s | by far getting the most because one of |
1360s | its or Vol we we've said it by now volti |
1362s | reversal one of its like core primary |
1364s | abilities that is used in just about |
1367s | every build |
1369s | um for the wrong reasons is getting a |
1372s | complete overhaul base functionality |
1373s | skill tree The Works the way it |
1375s | interacts with other skills items |
1376s | everything and um |
1379s | that has a huge ripple effect because |
1381s | basically every other skill in Sentinel |
1383s | was hanging on by a thread damage wise |
1386s | just because it was being propped up by |
1390s | um volatile reversal and so now that |
1393s | we've kind of taken that requirement for |
1395s | volatile reversal to be used away from |
1397s | the ability um so everything else needed |
1400s | to get a big buff basically the terror |
1403s | blessing PR be with you |
1412s | any plans for future totem builds like |
1414s | fire totem storm totem ice totem so |
1418s | on um well we do have like there are |
1421s | [Music] |
1423s | totems there's not much in the way of |
1424s | fire totems really um fire is kind of a |
1428s | low um low Synergy element |
1432s | for |
1435s | um that class that I'm remembering the |
1438s | name of right now and saying out loud to |
1440s | you Shaman |
1445s | um get here |
1448s | doding vo R sure we'll take it casby no |
1452s | I want |
1454s | it but I want |
1458s | it |
1463s | sure this is something that's |
1465s | interesting the Runes of Discovery don't |
1466s | take any forging potential and they just |
1468s | conf fill a white item up |
1470s | completely so you can very quickly get |
1473s | like a lot of stats on some early items |
1476s | if you just want to just get something |
1480s | going everything |
1483s | okay stay safe stay alive and bring |
1488s | boths |
1492s | back I don't know why I slapped one |
1494s | point in health and Mana earlier |
1495s | whatever though |
1499s | uh do you have an estimate of the |
1501s | expected season lengths going forward I |
1503s | don't I I keep I keep saying estimates |
1506s | for things like that and um I keep being |
1509s | wrong and I don't like being wrong so |
1511s | I'm not going to say an estment right |
1512s | now we'll we'll we'll get closer to the |
1515s | date and uh and be able to be more |
1518s | accurate with things like |
1527s | that tunel over to the wrong |
1535s | side all right is there a way to apply |
1537s | for the beta to help sort out bugs and |
1540s | imbalances yeah so we do we do have a |
1542s | community tester |
1544s | program um and what that is is there's |
1547s | there's basically early game builds that |
1549s | come out um and we we offer |
1553s | to to give people access to that in |
1556s | exchange for feedback um |
1561s | I do not know so I don't think it's open |
1563s | for signups right now |
1567s | um but I hope it will be |
1570s | soon and uh when when it does eventually |
1573s | open back up again we'll be posting on |
1576s | um there'll probably a post on Discord |
1578s | in the news section um so I keep an eye |
1581s | there |
1592s | when will a Terminator class be |
1596s | playable I'd love that just just |
1599s | like start out almost like |
1603s | uh like deprived class in |
1607s | um in Dark Souls the |
1612s | deprived I mean I totally know play the |
1614s | game so much so good at it terrible at |
1618s | it |
1620s | uh we here we go |
1631s | yes I'm so bad but I'm so stubborn So |
1634s | like um playing Elden ring I'm like I |
1637s | will not change or fix my build I can do |
1640s | this with skill that I don't |
1643s | have 200 attempts later all right have |
1646s | you ever thought about making a stash |
1648s | tab youi catalog like Poe has so we can |
1650s | know uh when we've collected all items |
1653s | and work towards it would be sick yes |
1655s | definitely um we have had this |
1657s | suggestion many times and I love the |
1659s | idea uh there's um like a Grail Quest |
1663s | tab basically or Grail tab is what I was |
1665s | I don't know how that's how I think of |
1667s | it and uh I love the idea |
1671s | um we don't have any plans to add one at |
1674s | the moment I really hope we do |
1675s | eventually |
1678s | the one thing that I always um I'm |
1680s | always kind of like I don't know which |
1682s | way the best way to do it is when I |
1683s | think about things like that is um |
1686s | should it actually store the item or |
1689s | should it just track which items you |
1691s | found so like just be like like a a |
1694s | checklist to be like oh yep you found |
1695s | this one you found this one you found |
1696s | this one or like an actual place to |
1698s | store each one like you have one storage |
1700s | spot one free extra storage spot for |
1701s | every unique in the |
1702s | game |
1705s | um and I don't know which way I like the |
1707s | most |
1709s | cuz on one hand having the storage spot |
1711s | for the item is is nice because then |
1714s | there's like an organized way and you |
1715s | can always find a unique if you're like |
1717s | starting a new character and you're like |
1718s | I have a bajillion alts and like okay |
1720s | let me just head to my catalog and |
1721s | here's like there should be there's |
1723s | probably one uh in in there type thing |
1726s | but then at the same time it kind of |
1727s | requires you to put your only copy of |
1730s | some really rare ones in there to finish |
1732s | it |
1735s | um and so I'm not really sure which side |
1737s | of it that I like the most |
1755s | all |
1756s | right just pop in and say that I love |
1758s | this game and I'm gen greatly looking |
1759s | forward to the next update thank you me |
1763s | too uh ignore if they are in I have |
1766s | already read it so I will not ignore it |
1768s | uh but are affinities coming to |
1771s | Le uh like tab affinities like stash tab |
1775s | affinities |
1778s | um that's usually what people mean when |
1780s | they say affinities and we have |
1783s | those pretty sure those are |
1787s | live that got pushed alive didn't it I |
1794s | think I'll double check my stash when we |
1796s | get there but I'm pretty sure we I'm |
1797s | pretty sure that's on live I've been |
1798s | using it haven't I it's yeah that's |
1800s | definitely onl what am I talking |
1805s | about if you mean something else please |
1807s | let me know what's your favorite class |
1809s | rogue rogue is my favorite class it |
1811s | takes everything in me not to just play |
1812s | Rogue every single time I love it it's |
1816s | mine M Falconer was so much fun to |
1820s | make it's part of that part of that team |
1823s | small part of that team oh medium part |
1826s | of that team not to sell myself too |
1838s | short the aoch is ours R head |
1848s | [Music] |
1854s | me okay next |
1857s | question uh |
1861s | um oh weird that thing didn't work but I |
1863s | see it anyways what are uh one of the |
1866s | major changes to the Sentinel class I |
1868s | mean there's there's quite a few there's |
1870s | a bunch in the if you haven't seen the |
1874s | um uh teror monthly post there's a uh |
1877s | list of all the spoilers we did last |
1879s | month um I think Kane's been looking |
1881s | that there's um one of my favorites in |
1885s | there is the ability to wield a |
1888s | two-handed weapon and a shield at the |
1890s | same time um there is a downside to that |
1894s | node which we did not spoil yet um cuz |
1896s | we're still tweaking the numbers on it |
1897s | and making sure it's we're we're pleased |
1899s | with the exact amount that it's taking |
1901s | away from other stuff um but yeah using |
1903s | a two-hander with a shield is pretty |
1905s | huge there's a lot of things that opens |
1906s | up um especially on abilities like |
1909s | Javelin where you're using a two-handed |
1911s | spear and a shield now so there's a |
1913s | bunch of new defensive options there um |
1915s | and some some new nodes that work and |
1917s | synergies that work that work before |
1921s | um yeah there some cool stuff |
1926s | there going to sell these why |
1931s | not I'm sure some of these are better |
1933s | than what I'm wearing and I just all the |
1934s | unique and I don't really |
1938s | care was not a good one he's back he's |
1942s | being Qui you're |
1945s | back Lena I'm so sorry to you |
1950s | this is best for us |
1953s | all will there be community events and |
1955s | races in the future like Poe had for the |
1958s | world first shaper kill and Community |
1960s | leagues to keep the game alive between |
1962s | leagues |
1963s | yes definitely um we've done a few |
1966s | events and there's been a few Community |
1968s | run events and things like that we're |
1970s | very um big fans of those sorts of |
1972s | things and we want to do more and more |
1973s | and more of them we've been adding some |
1974s | tools on our back end to be able to do |
1975s | that more efficiently um yeah there's |
1978s | is |
1986s | yeah when you set a stash tab to a group |
1989s | of items example Idols when you right |
1991s | click the idol it goes to that tab |
1993s | regardless if you're looking at the tab |
1994s | not yeah yes we have |
1997s | that yeah what do we call that uh stash |
2001s | priorities the priority tab priority |
2003s | when you go to your St I could have just |
2004s | looked at it there when you go to your |
2005s | stash there's a um let's just go let's |
2008s | just go |
2014s | look doesn't take long always go |
2020s | back uh when you come in here you can |
2024s | um NOP not category tab if you right |
2027s | click on a tab um you can see this tab |
2029s | priority right here and you can pick |
2032s | different uh weapon or miscellaneous |
2034s | types as well and put specific things in |
2036s | there and then you can pick specific |
2038s | properties of those things and uh other |
2041s | specific requirements and things like |
2043s | that so it'll it'll Auto sort for you |
2046s | into those |
2054s | [Music] |
2057s | tabs keep enhancing the game yeah we |
2060s | will love the game and progression for |
2062s | improvement thank |
2064s | you give us steam achievement please yes |
2067s | uh I want Steve achievements so |
2070s | bad they're so nice I I I lots of these |
2074s | things I've said before elsewhere but |
2075s | like I love there's so I play a favorite |
2077s | of Civ as well and there's so many |
2079s | ridiculous achievements in Civ that |
2081s | happen by accident all the time where |
2083s | you're just like it pops up and it's |
2085s | like do this thing you're like uh okay I |
2088s | wonder what city it has that |
2091s | unlocked |
2093s | um one of my favorites being uh it's |
2096s | like it's use the great people |
2098s | Michelangelo Donatello |
2100s | Raphael |
2106s | um and |
2109s | Leonardo wow uh in the same city that |
2112s | has sewers built in it and |
2116s | um yeah Pizza Time achievement I think |
2119s | great |
2124s | one uh my four-year-old likes to watch |
2127s | me play and would like if you added more |
2129s | dinosaurs well you know what good |
2131s | news um not in this patch um but uh |
2137s | something we are working on quite a bit |
2139s | is a lot more ancient era dinosaur stuff |
2142s | so you know what it's we're working on |
2145s | it |
2148s | sure I like being able to just say yes |
2150s | to things like that |
2158s | uh lightning near enemies |
2161s | ignited we are going to |
2164s | go |
2167s | yeah |
2179s | yeah any updates on a console release no |
2181s | we don't have any information regarding |
2183s | a potential console release it's |
2184s | something that we really want to do um |
2186s | but there's a lot a lot of groundwork |
2189s | that needs to get laid before we can |
2190s | really even commit to specifics there um |
2193s | we are we are doing a lot of work on um |
2196s | like steam deck improvements and our |
2198s | just controller improvements in general |
2200s | so we are um in 1.2 adding in context |
2203s | and specialization |
2205s | specific um controller targeting systems |
2209s | for every single ability in the |
2211s | game so what does that mean cuz that was |
2213s | a big mouthful of technical mumbo jumbo |
2214s | that didn't really say much basically |
2216s | when you cast fireballs |
2220s | um it's going to actually turn and fire |
2223s | and shoot Fireball at the most logical |
2226s | enemy um and if you have Fireball that |
2230s | has proba May bad example um if you have |
2234s | it's a better |
2235s | one |
2238s | um okay let's say you have a Ballista |
2243s | here's a good example ballista has |
2244s | certain nodes in ballista where um you |
2247s | really want to to cast it near you so |
2249s | that it will get um Buffs cuz it it it |
2252s | Buffs you and you buff it and so |
2253s | standing nearby it is really |
2255s | important but then there's nodes where |
2258s | it's got like a trip wire between the |
2260s | two two blists get trip wire between |
2261s | them and they explode and they deal |
2263s | damage to enemies near them so you want |
2265s | to place the ballista near your enemies |
2267s | and so depending on which specialization |
2269s | you've picked it will either um place |
2271s | them close to you or close to enemies so |
2273s | it's context specific targeting for each |
2276s | individual ability based on on how you |
2278s | specialized it yes |
2281s | um yeah so it's going to be a lot more |
2283s | smooth to play on controller and so it |
2285s | has like a um each one of them has a |
2287s | primary targeting a secondary fallback |
2289s | targeting and then the um the default is |
2292s | just whatever it currently does now in |
2294s | the game if if it just can't find a good |
2296s | option for the uh primary and |
2299s | secondary Minimus run your still put |
2303s | what me |
2317s | it's okay it's |
2321s | okay we shall avenge |
2323s | you uh all right I hope you had a great |
2326s | holiday and looking forward to the |
2327s | updates to Le hoping the controller |
2329s | keybinds can be customized so that uh a |
2332s | button can be used as a skill so that a |
2335s | button oh like the the the a button on a |
2337s | controller um there's c yeah there's a |
2339s | few buttons that can't |
2341s | [Music] |
2343s | be um I think we're expanding some of |
2346s | those I'm not sure exactly what's |
2347s | happening there |
2349s | well um I will say that if you if you |
2352s | really want to do it now you probably |
2354s | can most controllers have um a way to |
2357s | rebind controller inputs and especially |
2360s | uh just steam does it as well so you can |
2362s | like remap your buttons on your |
2364s | controller in Steam anyways and then um |
2369s | it'll just map to a different button it |
2371s | won't it'll say the wrong button which |
2373s | can sometimes be disorienting to people |
2378s | um but welcome to the life of owning |
2381s | switch controllers for |
2384s | PC not going take off the Cradle |
2386s | actually cuz it will connect to the |
2389s | game uh how does it feel when you uh |
2392s | when you see big names like Diablo and |
2393s | Poe take things that you created |
2395s | introduce them put them into their games |
2397s | I mean |
2398s | there's it's incredible when when |
2400s | there's when you can see the influence |
2401s | you're having on uh on the games that |
2405s | you love to play in general it's so cool |
2407s | having that like and and like I don't |
2410s | think it's just cut and dry just like oh |
2411s | they see something they take something |
2412s | it's it's like you you're you're solving |
2415s | the same problems lots of times I know I |
2417s | know there's been times when us and Poe |
2419s | have been like actively working on the |
2421s | same thing at the same time |
2424s | um and you know like it it happens the |
2428s | other way too where we release something |
2429s | and someone else it's like that's just |
2430s | from some other |
2432s | game so I don't think there's any like |
2434s | malicious intent happening or anything |
2435s | like that but it is very cool to see |
2438s | when um it's almost validating you know |
2441s | like where you're like this this thing |
2442s | you worked on and it's like even if even |
2445s | if they it had nothing to do with um I |
2448s | mean especially actually if it had |
2450s | nothing to do with um seeing it in our |
2452s | game first and it just happened to be |
2453s | spontaneously the same or or similar |
2456s | implementations for solving problem |
2458s | um and just being like okay well they |
2460s | think it's a good idea too you know |
2463s | um that's really cool to |
2469s | see what brings you |
2471s | here ET |
2477s | race we're going to start up a filter |
2479s | here I |
2480s | think uh |
2482s | new Mage |
2484s | leveling this one and |
2488s | is this one this is the ion yeah at a |
2491s | rule |
2494s | hi item nope item Rarity we're just |
2498s | going to hide normal |
2500s | items we're just done with those we're |
2503s | past |
2506s | that will the loot lizards and extra |
2509s | shrines be staying in the game or was |
2511s | that event only they are sticking around |
2513s | they're sticking around everything |
2514s | that's in the game right now is standard |
2517s | is long long term is uh is here to stay |
2521s | um I mean there's like nodes on certain |
2524s | things that might get adjusted and stuff |
2526s | like that but yeah mechanics features |
2528s | you see right now they're in the game |
2529s | they're here um they're getting updates |
2531s | like there's certain shrines that are |
2533s | being uh tweaked and how they work |
2535s | certain |
2537s | um like spawn rates and drop rates on |
2541s | blue lizards are being adjusted so that |
2542s | they're I think a little bit less |
2544s | frequent and a little bit more exciting |
2546s | um and you like things like that so |
2549s | we're we're making tweaks and |
2550s | adjustments to all those things but the |
2552s | um the features and the functionality |
2553s | the core the way it works everything |
2554s | that's all here to stay |
2559s | um o look at that we don't hate |
2565s | those we don't hate those at |
2569s | all I do have a par G and picked up but |

2715s | done it there whatever we're |
2717s | cruising are there any quality of life |
2720s | uh planned for the next up cycle uh |
2723s | season we're calling them Seasons now H |

2726s | stuff planned for next season |
2728s | um yeah there's there's lots of cool |
2730s | stuff all over the place um unrelated |
2734s | but I'm I I feel like I feel like let's |

2737s | now teaser one here we go I only have |
2740s | two today but they're both cool so um |
2744s | this is the first one this is an update |

2748s | I'm like 90% sure we haven't shared this |
2751s | one yet if we have already I'm sorry um |
2753s | but here we go uh so this is a new void |
2756s | Knight passive node um that is quite |

2786s | not |
2792s | I know I'm the worst aren't I uh in |
2794s | general what is the Studio's view on |
2796s | autobomber builds I.E builds with zero |
2798s | or one buttons um I think the what's the |
2802s | like the company line on it is is |
2805s | probably |
2808s | um for the most part builds that um |
2813s | engage a player a little bit more are uh |
2816s | generally more desirable for us to have |
2819s | in high quantities at the at the end |
2822s | game |
2823s | um you know we we we like active play |
2826s | Styles um being fun engaging and high |
2831s | power so that doesn't necessarily mean |
2833s | that you have to have an active play |
2836s | style to play the game um but we really |
2840s | want to make sure that we're not in a |
2842s | situation where all the best builds are |
2845s | zero and one button builds you know like |
2847s | we want to make sure that there are |
2848s | definitely some absolute top tier builds |
2850s | that are active play Styles |
2854s | um but I think if we got to a situation |
2857s | where there weren't any uh top tier |
2860s | builds I mean like s tier builds that |
2863s | had that were like zero and one button |
2864s | builds if if that just like wasn't a |
2866s | thing um I don't think we'd probably go |
2869s | out of our way to make sure we added one |
2872s | yeah we we might but it probably just be |
2875s | like H one will show up it's fine |
2877s | is probably what we'd say type thing so |
2880s | it's |
2883s | yeah not not the first choice but we |
2887s | don't we don't we don't actively try and |
2889s | remove them either so we don't look at a |
2890s | build and go hey that's that's not |
2892s | active enough let's get rid of it you |
2895s | know we don't we don't take that |
2896s | approach and we we do intentionally put |
2899s | nodes in uh in the game that like while |
2903s | we're while we're designing the the |
2904s | skill trees we're like we'll literally |
2906s | say this one's for the lazies um and |
2910s | it'll be in so you know it's it's one of |
2912s | the things we do know that some people |
2913s | don't like to have that Super Active |
2915s | play style |
2917s | um but you know we don't want to force |
2919s | everyone down that path |
2922s | either oh my goodness thanks |
2927s | Kan yeah yeah yeah my bad my bad I put |
2932s | the I'm it's you know first stream back |
2935s | I've got to do it right it was that that |
2937s | was uh definitely |
2939s | intentional uh yep yep just you know |
2942s | it's a Trope at this point and I'm I'm |
2944s | hanging a lampshade on it no big deal |
2946s | yeah I know it's just m I'm just a fool |
2949s | fool it's |
2952s | fine uh what can you share about |
2954s | Sentinel SE changes and uh balancing for |
2958s | cycle 2 um not a lot of details there's |
2960s | there's a bunch of nodes that we have um |
2962s | put out there and so I check I would |
2963s | check those out um big things stuff I've |
2966s | talked about already ready the stream |
2967s | things like um like there's uh volatile |
2971s | reversal was being used as a like a a |
2974s | cooldown like an on cool down buff |
2977s | ability and um so we've we've kind of |
2980s | ripped that out you can volle reversal |
2982s | is still a very very good ability um it |
2986s | doesn't fit perfectly in every single |
2989s | build no matter what now um and I think |
2993s | it's a lot more fun to play I think it's |
2994s | a lot I think people are going to start |
2996s | taking it because they like the play |
2998s | pattern and they're using it for the |
2999s | functionality that it has and that it's |
3002s | actually improving their build and |
3003s | synergizing with their build not just |
3004s | hey this is a buff button |
3007s | um and so yeah we're we're taking a lot |
3009s | of the power that was coming from |
3010s | volatile reversal and we're putting it |
3012s | elsewhere we're adding in more |
3013s | conversions um more defensive options um |
3017s | more synergies more cross ability |
3019s | synergies |
3022s | um that node that's over that way in the |
3026s | corner |
3030s | what do we get what do we |
3035s | get that's that's not that's not |
3039s | [Music] |
3045s | terrible you have Ward I have |
3051s | Ward ha mine lasted longer deal with |
3055s | it oh no yours is back |
3057s | mine's not off cool down yet oh jeez |
3064s | RI you will |
3066s | perish next time you will perish not |
3073s | me uh fave character and Y Rogue the |
3076s | flow the feel it it just I don't know it |
3080s | it speaks to me a little |
3082s | bit it's there's something about that |
3084s | fast movement shift is my favorite |
3086s | ability in the game I think |
3089s | um I really like I played like I played |
3092s | um played Riven in La bunch and like |
3095s | dancing strikes is is just it feels so |
3098s | smooth um I remember when when I first I |
3102s | like I I wasn't involved in making |
3103s | dancing strikes |
3105s | initially and when |
3108s | um uh when I when I saw the first |
3110s | version of it I was like I was just |
3112s | hooked I'm like yes this is it this is |
3113s | what I want |
3120s | then we made the skill tree quite |
3121s | pleased with it that one that one does |
3124s | need a little power I |
3127s | think CU |
3130s | yeah rain lightning |
3135s | down it's a shaman skill but it |
3145s | works hi Mike and team is there there |
3147s | any ETA for the release of the new |
3148s | engine update sorry if I missed that you |
3150s | did not miss it we don't have a specific |
3152s | time yet I'm |
3154s | sorry will you guys add stee |
3156s | achievements anytime |
3158s | soon probably not super soon |
3162s | um I know we were just adding some stuff |
3164s | to the game to make it possible to do |
3167s | smoothly um and I know we've been |
3170s | brainstorming some um but it's not uh |
3174s | it's not implemented at the moment |
3178s | I |
3182s | amending ding level up ding level |
3192s | up have I noticed the bug probably um |
3195s | but if you have a bug report uh please |
3197s | use the in-game bug reporting tool uh |
3200s | right |
3201s | here it is wonderful it takes data from |
3205s | your game client um if you you leave the |
3207s | attached player data here um it's it's |
3210s | your log file that's all it is |
3213s | um and uh helps a lot in in finding |
3217s | those |
3218s | bugs I'll read what it is but I'm not |
3220s | going to be able to help you with it |
3222s | sorry um have you noticed a bug where |
3224s | enemies in maps and sometimes even |
3225s | bosses are invisible their skill effects |
3226s | and oras are visible can be damaged and |
3229s | do damage but the character model is |
3230s | invisible I haven't actually um it's |
3232s | something that has been happening to me |
3233s | since I first tried the game I did send |
3235s | a report about it cool |
3237s | [Music] |
3239s | uh uh after the engine update will we |
3243s | see New Seasons more frequently um I |
3245s | certainly hope |
3248s | so don't have any specifics on timing of |
3251s | those things at the |
3253s | moment but you know 9 months is a long |
3255s | time to wait it is the consequences of |
3258s | our |
3259s | actions history is definitely was not |
3261s | Our intention it is when we set out for |
3263s | this season must |
3265s | act I cannot do that |
3269s | but it's going to be a good one I'm very |
3271s | excited for |
3281s | it and I think one great one will be end |
3285s | up being better than uh one okay one and |
3288s | one good |
3295s | one uh when can we expect the new cycle |
3298s | um about February asking my friend no uh |
3300s | the new season is in April um we do have |
3304s | uh that announced already so this was |
3306s | not an announcement just for the |
3312s | record okay okay thanks Mike you are |
3315s | welcome I don't know what question that |
3316s | was I apologize but you're welcome |
3318s | either way I hope it was a good |
3322s | answer melee minions feel weaker to the |
3324s | Archer counterparts any chance to see a |
3326s | buff to the melee minions um also not a |
3329s | lot of player use skeleton Rogues |
3331s | because the low crit chance any chance |
3333s | for that to change um I mean there's |
3336s | there's always a so you're saying there |
3338s | yes there's always a chance um I do not |
3341s | know I I really I don't like giving out |
3343s | specifics on on balance changes |
3345s | especially on stream especially when |
3347s | we're kind of far out still |
3349s | um just because a lot of those number |
3352s | tweaks happen um in the second half of |
3355s | the cycle um |
3358s | uh the development cycle so it's you |
3359s | know there's there's a lot of a lot of |
3361s | stuff like that comes from feedback from |
3362s | the CT program that we're talked about |
3363s | earlier um and just you know like once |
3366s | we get closer and more features are are |
3367s | in and we're doing internal play tests |
3369s | and you know people are giving feedback |
3372s | internally too so there's things like |
3373s | that we'll we'll start to uh get |
3376s | solidified a little bit more as we go |
3377s | forward I don't have specific details |
3379s | for you right |
3380s | now |
3383s | um where do we go do we just go ice |
3388s | so doing ice and just just stack pure |

3466s | nice very |
3470s | nice all right uh anything from the game |
3473s | that you just loved it made you think |
3475s | about a way to implement something |
3476s | similar in Le yeah it's the dumbest |
3478s | little thing |
3481s | ever um the ability to pin a tool tip |
3484s | and move it around the |

3497s | are you're wonderful it's great thank |
3499s | you |
3511s | I I the way our tool tips are set up it |

3738s | weirdly good questions I don't know I |
3741s | see someone that that guessed on an |
3742s | answer I was going to say about coming |
3744s | from the stuff from poe2 my money's on W |
3746s | I tried it I couldn't do it I don't know |
3751s | what it is like I I know it is |

3757s | bring my body to do |
3763s | it I I don't know what it is I'm just so |
3766s | set in my |
3769s | ways that it just broke me |

3780s | De is |
3784s | dead |
3786s | [Applause] |
3789s | for Frozen |
3793s | te Ste actually having to play what how |
3798s | dare you make me |
3801s | think it's a good |
3803s | fight slap that helmet on |
3810s | we're going to hurt ourselves a bunch |
3812s | and we're like doing no fire damage and |
3814s | we're not using fire |
3817s | skills put that help back |
3823s | on find something |
3831s | here oh boy |
3838s | quick upgrades quick |
3854s | upgrades garbage tier upgrades oh I can |
3857s | do this can |
3863s | I don't need to do this at all |
3865s | completely unnecessary necessary minion |
3868s | damage Elemental |
3874s | damage we'll take |
3883s | it uh will season 2 be released in early |
3885s | mid or late April I'm sorry I can't tell |
3888s | you I would love |
3894s | to We Do have a a set Target date I'll |
3899s | say that we do we we've picked out a day |
3900s | where we're like that's the |
3904s | one all right the worst part about CT |
3907s | program is not being allowed to tell |
3908s | other people how excited I am about the |
3910s | upcoming changes you can say you're |
3911s | excited you can absolutely say you're |
3913s | excited it's about all you can say |
3917s | though but yeah uh I I feel your pain |
3921s | believe me I feel your |
3923s | pain it is really nice uh when someone |
3926s | like getting to go to the CT uh I don't |
3928s | I don't SP I don't talk a lot in the CT |
3929s | Discord but I do read a lot of the stuff |
3931s | in there and so it's it is really nice |
3934s | to go in there and see people's |
3935s | reactions to things that we're working |
3936s | on early |
3938s | um and it's been very validating |
3942s | recently of like okay this is going to |
3944s | go well this is going to be good it's |
3947s | like it's calm me down a lot and that's |
3950s | not to say they're not critical cuz they |
3951s | are always very critical in and it is |
3954s | super important that they are critical |
3956s | um um but I am confident that uh it'll |
3959s | be a fun and well-received |
3964s | catch partially because of their |
3968s | criticisms speaking of |
3971s | crit |
3974s | there all right is there any skill you'd |
3978s | really like to create a unique for um I |
3983s | this is tricky because like if there's |
3984s | one that I really want to do this to I |
3985s | can just go do it but |
3989s | um and I'm doing I'm there's a I cannot |
3993s | do that there's there's a there's a a |
3995s | skill that we're planning on adding um |
4000s | and it got cut from 1.2 uh that I really |
4004s | have that I have got a plan for a unique |
4005s | for it that I'm really excited for |
4012s | um that I know is kind of a cop on |
4014s | answer cuz I can't talk about it at all |
4023s | um but for skill in the game right now |
4027s | take a look is there anything here that |
4028s | I'd really like to make an item |
4030s | for that is here |
4040s | already iard so fighting me probably |
4047s | Sabertooth Sabertooth is it's it's an |
4050s | ability that's been sitting on the |
4052s | sidelines because it needed uh like a |
4054s | visual update and and a base |
4056s | functionality update um and I've I've |
4059s | really love the vibe of saber Toth it's |
4062s | one of my it's I think it's one of sa |
4064s | tooth or Raptor are my favorite two |
4065s | summons for for |
4068s | primalist and I'd really like to make an |
4070s | item that |
4074s | uh that like plays into the the low |
4078s | minion count either saber-tooth or |
4080s | Raptor |
4086s | style that's what I'd love to |
4095s | do definitely not writing that down |
4097s | right now |
4107s | no idea what you're talking |
4116s | about all right uh got to do Barbarian |
4120s | Mastery |
4126s | when yeah I I I'd love to do Barbarian |
4129s | Mastery I would I really would and I'm |
4132s | laughing cuz it gets brought up like |
4133s | every time um |
4136s | not working on Barbarian Mastery right |
4137s | now I'm sorry just just to be |
4142s | clear not working on any masteries at |
4144s | all right |
4151s | now but I would like I would love to get |
4153s | some new masteries going again that' be |
4162s | sweet okay I'm being told that I'm |
4164s | really far behind in chat and I should |
4165s | speed up up thank |
4168s | you uh can I ask a personal question yes |
4171s | you may I might not answer probably will |
4174s | L um what is your favorite pet build and |
4177s | why maybe even outside leie um I really |
4180s | like builds in games that I'll I'll I'll |
4183s | give an kind of a I'll give an in and |
4185s | out of ell example I really like builds |
4188s | that shouldn't work that are like well |
4191s | that's not what the class is trying to |
4192s | do um type build so like |
4196s | one of my favorite builds ever in D2 |
4199s | favorite games ever was um is |
4202s | enchantress which is uh or or like |
4208s | um uh like |
4212s | using uh using rums to get Paladin AAS |
4215s | on an on a sorc and doing like enchant |
4218s | to buff your melee and and be like a |
4219s | melee sorc in D2 which there's like |
4221s | there's Fringe support for at best um um |
4226s | and it's not great but like um and |
4229s | there's the fireclaw Druid that that are |
4231s | Sor that you know came up a little bit |
4233s | but you know like I I really love doing |
4235s | things like that and when I was like a |
4237s | kid playing D2 before I knew what I was |
4238s | doing at all I would I would make |
4239s | enchantresses like every season like |
4242s | every ladder reset i' be like all right |
4243s | we're going enchantress this time and |
4245s | every all my friends like Mike you do |
4246s | this every time and it's terrible every |
4248s | time |
4249s | stop nope I |
4253s | refuse and we're leveling and they're |
4256s | hitting every single attack cuz enchant |
4258s | gives a bajillion attack rating and then |
4260s | who's confused never mind um so I love |
4262s | builds like that and so uh coming back |
4265s | to my favorite build or my favorite |
4266s | class in Le like a two-handed um a |
4270s | two-handed blade dancer a big fanom cuz |
4272s | it's like it's focusing it's melee and |
4273s | there's like support for lots of melee |
4274s | stuff but it really wants to do dual |
4276s | wielding um and you like having that |
4278s | like Twist on it I love doing stuff like |
4284s | that do I teleport yet and I've just |
4286s | like been ignoring it yes yes I do my |
4290s | goodness Mike what are you even |
4300s | thinking why am I not using teleport |
4303s | feel like I should have it by now |
4305s | right |
4312s | yep all right I'd go for story spot list |
4318s | uh oh this is the unique oh my God I'm |
4319s | far behind but it gives you a minimum |
4321s | roll so you take it out yeah like it |
4324s | like bricks the item when you put it in |
4325s | so you can still use it if you want I |
4327s | feel like if we were going to put it in |
4328s | you might as well be able to use it when |
4329s | you take it out normally might as well |
4331s | just save the |
4334s | item I had an idea for a new minion ants |
4338s | they're quick uh lift six times its |
4340s | weight swarm thoughts maybe swarm blade |
4342s | minion item changes Locus to ant isn't |
4346s | there some |
4347s | like scale issue with the whole like |
4350s | ants lifting six times their weight on |
4354s | um like on on full size full scale stuff |
4358s | where it doesn't it doesn't work anymore |
4359s | because they're they get too large and |
4362s | like they collapse under their own |
4363s | weight or |
4374s | something this the this might not be a |
4376s | thing so don't quote me on |
4378s | this also my |
4384s | goodness that was that was some that was |
4386s | some loot drops right |
4391s | there it's our second prism RS this run |
4394s | that's |
4398s | hilarious yeah |
4406s | fting chance so blind that's that's |
4408s | actually not a bad |
4411s | pickup you're also going to want to |
4413s | start picking up set items |
4416s | soonish I think |
4421s | maybe possibly working on |
4425s | it I think we might just use that though |
4427s | just the the like eight intelligence |
4429s | alone and the 30% increased spell damage |
4431s | is |
4432s | that think that's just enough to run it |
4452s | there could be a boss ant called |
4459s | Aaron boss ant named |
4462s | Jima uh hny I don't know what that |
4465s | acronym means |
4467s | uh-oh uh any plans for new uh new MTX |
4471s | thanks yes there are new Cosmetics |
4473s | coming down the pipe and they're pretty |
4480s | cool our was the uh movement coming to |
4483s | Le at some point by the way it's awesome |
4485s | keep it up um maybe um you know it's |
4490s | it's a very very hotly requested feature |
4492s | at the moment um you know like we're |
4495s | we're testing out different options for |
4497s | it |
4498s | um like there's there's definitely no no |
4502s | no timeline no promises on any of it at |
4505s | all but you know like we we are looking |
4507s | at you know this is something that the |
4509s | community is very vocally saying that |
4511s | they're interested in as a feature |
4514s | um |
4516s | and uh we we we love to deliver on |
4519s | things for people that they want you |
4520s | know it's it's kind of a simple hey a |
4522s | bunch of people want this is it can we |
4524s | do it type thing is sort of how we look |
4526s | at things like that and um so know we're |
4528s | we're exploring our options but |
4532s | um it's there there's some there's a few |
4535s | blockers in place that are making |
4537s | it um possibly not feasible for us um in |
4542s | in next patch type thing but uh you know |
4544s | it's it's on the table about the best I |
4547s | can say for |
4548s | it we we always want to add more stuff |
4550s | to the game you know and every single |
4552s | thing like that is a like a value |
4554s | proposition so you know if it was going |
4556s | to take us um 100 Dev hours to do um |
4561s | compared to a th000 Dev hours to do you |
4563s | know like that's it's a pretty big |
4564s | difference in how much how many other |
4567s | things have to get cut for it to be |
4570s | added and figuring out if that's if |
4572s | that's worthwhile to cut those other |
4574s | things is a very tricky uh |
4578s | proposition very tricky thing to figure |
4581s | out thank you very much for the |
4584s | sub uh V into black nice nice extremely |
4587s | black color like uh absorbs some 90 |
4590s | something per of light that comes into |
4591s | it so it's like crazy Mega dark black |
4594s | and it like looks like you're looking at |
4596s | nothing it's really |
4609s | cool not the |
4613s | be oops |
4624s | more questions uh guns as a new weapon |
4627s | when I mean we don't have any immediate |
4629s | plans for for guns and and future Tech |
4632s | and things like that um you know it it's |
4636s | a time travel game it's not |
4638s | impossible |
4640s | um it does it does extend pretty far |
4643s | outside the the typical theming of the |
4646s | game at the moment so um we have to be |
4648s | careful with stuff like that and make |
4650s | sure it's thematically appropriate and |
4652s | you know fits in logically into the game |
4654s | somewhat like how does how does a bow |
4657s | and arrow stack up against a gun Ted |
4659s | like this certain situations it's great |
4661s | what a waste uh you know so there's |
4663s | there's there's tricky stuff there they |
4665s | definitely can coexist thematically um |
4667s | and you do like low low Tech Guns things |
4669s | like they don't have to be like modern |
4671s | Firearms they can be like flint lock |
4672s | stuff and so there's there's a lot of |
4674s | there's a lot of options there um you |
4676s | seem a little deis he might be kind |
4678s | enough to show you how to tap into your |
4681s | true |
4683s | potential |
4685s | uh I'm going to look up and make sure |
4688s | what build was in |
4690s | that teram monthly thing so I picked the |
4693s | right Mastery it was spellblade I |
4699s | believe yes it was a Spell blade |
4706s | even though we've been playing |
4710s | Glacier Mana strikes on our bar it's |
4713s | fine it |
4715s | counts you I I if I then choose Mastery |
4721s | spell and focus on the confirm I see |
4726s | that you are still you Shad stri |
4729s | strength will be necessary if our world |
4733s | our reality is to have I think we're |
4735s | going to we're going to drop |
4737s | this we go jump into Shadow strike now |
4741s | where are we Shadow |
4749s | strike cool cool cool cool cool cool |
4757s | cool should see what I like to |
4760s | see sh strike |
4767s | let rock and |
4768s | roll it's just that |
4773s | easy uh I do love the idea of doing the |
4775s | campaign at least once per season but |
4777s | has any thought gone into letting alt |
4779s | skip campaign and farm Idol slots and |
4782s | passives in monoliths um so we do still |
4784s | want to have that leveling process be |
4786s | part of the new character experience |
4791s | um having that level and I I very |
4793s | clearly I very int leveling Pros us |
4795s | there just to be clear um |
4799s | and uh having new having different |
4802s | having ways to make that leveling |
4803s | process customizable based on a player's |
4806s | experience and skill uh and resources is |
4809s | really important to us |
4813s | um |
4815s | restricting uh uh I think restricting |
4818s | the idol and passive unlocks to the |
4821s | campaign has um |
4825s | uh is is probably put as you point out |
4827s | it's probably putting a bit of a wet |
4828s | blanket on the ideas of what I just said |
4830s | of like giving players the opportunities |
4832s | to customize that leveling experience |
4833s | more but forcing them down specific um a |
4837s | specific subset of um quests that exist |
4840s | in the campaign specifically is probably |
4843s | um too heavy handed a restriction on |
4848s | that freedom we're trying to allow in |
4850s | that leveling |
4851s | process kind of a round roundabout way |
4854s | of saying yeah we're looking at |
4855s | expanding how you can get those unlocks |
4857s | um and we we cuz we we've this idea has |
4859s | been in the game for a long time like it |
4860s | says there's um one of eight Idol slot |
4862s | rewards that have been completed but |
4864s | there's something like 15 places in the |
4866s | campaign that you can get Idol slot |
4868s | rewards so it's not saying you have to |
4869s | do these eight quests it's doing eight |
4871s | of these 12 15 quests I don't know how |
4873s | many there are and then passive is the |
4876s | same way so it's like get do 15 of these |
4878s | 20 quests and um so we we want to have |
4883s | more ways that aren't exclusive |
4886s | um campaign side quests to be able to |
4888s | unlock those rewards still having them |
4890s | available in the campaign um but also |
4892s | I'd say maybe having ways to earn them |
4894s | in endgame could be really positive |
4896s | where an experienced player who maybe |
4898s | doesn't need need that power for their |
4900s | build to have a good time early who can |
4904s | get by with a lower power build early |
4906s | and then um still unlock those things so |
4909s | their characters maximum potential isn't |
4911s | reduced later |
4919s | which allows you to take advantage of |
4920s | the campaign skips that are already in |
4921s | the game more aggressively I thank you |
4926s | there is an old passage to the surface |
4930s | cuz the campaign skips if you if you |
4931s | don't happen to not not no no there's |
4932s | dungeons that have sections that that |
4934s | let you skip big chunks of the of The |
4938s | Campaign which we could do we could |
4940s | probably do one of them aren't we about |
4942s | to we're just about to get to one should |
4943s | we try lightless Arbor on un level |
4946s | appropriate I've got I I must have a key |
4949s | I might not have a |
4954s | key sless yeah lots of |
4957s | keys let's try |
4967s | it yes |
4971s | stuff follow your |
4973s | feet there any more uniques that we can |
4978s | do |
4983s | Pride not a bad |
4988s | option uh we're going to want |
4992s | that underleveled pretty hard for |
4996s | that do we have we've got a dger |
5001s | somewhere we must we must we should |
5005s | probably equip this |
5009s | actually send it to the |
5019s | lp more cool stuff more cool |
5022s | stuff going once going |
5025s | twice there we are that's what I want to |
5029s | low |
5030s | level not far off though 37 |
5033s | okay he I knew I had one floating around |
5036s | not well on |
5042s | regret dispel the |
5054s | barrier all right more questions |
5065s | staves with Shield yep uh yeah |
5068s | two-handed I think it's any two-handed |
5069s | weapon with a shield I that's what the |
5071s | how the not is |
5072s | worded uh I have been capped on |
5074s | character slots for quite a while now |
5079s | wow uh any movement on getting extra |
5081s | paid character slots we don't want to |
5082s | pay for extra character slots but I do |
5084s | think we want to add more character |
5085s | slots so I don't think you should have |
5086s | to pay for it but I think we should be |
5087s | opening up more |
5092s | um yeah offline there's basically no |
5094s | liit but online there is um and I know |
5097s | we changed something recently that |
5099s | should make it easier to add more as |
5101s | well uh sorry if I missed it but uh were |
5104s | there any plans to slow uh to allow a |
5106s | button on controllers to be bound to an |
5108s | ability I don't think we have any plans |
5110s | I don't I don't know I know that was |
5112s | asked earlier um but you can uh you can |
5115s | rewind the controller mapping outside of |
5117s | the game to allow it if you want if |
5119s | you're really itching for |
5122s | it uh are was the movement coming to l e |
5125s | at some point other games also keep good |
5126s | work yeah oh it was a re it was a repost |
5129s | cuz the one didn't uh it wasn't uh |
5130s | pinging me and I saw it anyway so I'm |
5132s | like I'm just going to answer |
5134s | it uh will the set item changes be in |
5137s | season 2 |
5141s | maybe |
5143s | uh is there any plan uh to add an option |
5147s | for focusing lenses in tab |
5150s | priority uh no but I think we should |
5153s | shouldn't we |
5155s | uh there's a couple |
5156s | lens was there was some lens quality of |
5158s | life thing that we were |
5160s | adding what it was I don't think it was |
5162s | that though but we |
5165s | should uh any considerations in the |
5167s | Sentinel changes to help with class |
5169s | fantasy a lot of Palin builds focus on |
5171s | wands for spell damage and running |
5173s | around with little stick is a little |
5174s | underwhelming for a paladin things like |
5176s | converting weapon damage to spell damage |
5177s | come to mind s who NOS that Spell blade |
5179s | has yeah there's there's there's things |
5181s | like that that we've been looking at I I |
5183s | can't get into specific on things like |
5184s | that but yeah that's that is an issue |
5186s | where you have this like um off theme |
5190s | weapon like it's great to have off theme |
5191s | weapons be optional and and ways that |
5193s | you can like build into them and do cool |
5195s | stuff that like kind of you're breaking |
5197s | the game but I think having the game |
5199s | break the convention itself is generally |
5202s | not |
5204s | ideal as like the default way if it |
5207s | breaks the Convention as like a a weird |
5208s | optional roundabout way it's fine but |
5209s | having it be like the main way to play |
5211s | is best I think |
5216s | uh new skills coming to season 2 yes |
5218s | there are new skills coming to season |
5221s | 2 they're going to be sweet not do that |
5225s | we have Mana problems all of a |
5228s | sudden we are going to need to deal with |
5231s | those |
5235s | ASAP all HG have announced that the next |
5237s | update would incompass things from the |
5240s | next I think it's two updates we're |
5242s | supposed to say next instead next to |
5244s | updates let's |
5245s | on the old road map but the new one we |
5247s | have nothing about ancient era Primal |
5248s | hunt or Primal uniques that is a true |
5250s | statement uh we do not have anything |
5252s | about those two things on there um it is |
5256s | not a complete combination of the of the |
5258s | things that were on the old road map it |
5261s | is that there is stuff that was going to |
5262s | go in each of them that's coming to this |
5264s | point |
5274s | and there's things that weren't going to |
5276s | go in either of them that are going in |
5278s | this now like it's yeah there's like |
5281s | there's there's things that were going |
5282s | to go in 1.2 things that were going to |
5284s | go in 1.3 and things that weren't going |
5286s | to go in either one of them and all |
5288s | three of those things are going into one |
5291s | um but it's not like everything from |
5296s | each I apologize that there was some |
5298s | confusion there |
5306s | should move faster with that Shrine it |
5308s | was nice what I get what I get I get |
5310s | speaking of |
5312s | Wands reach to the Grave do that useless |
5316s | for me on this build that's |
5323s | okay any chance to further develop |
5325s | controller support there's lots of |
5326s | controller support stuff coming I talked |
5327s | about a little bit earlier uh you can go |
5329s | back and check that out but yes uh hello |
5331s | Mike for me personally El crafting |
5333s | system is my favorite thank you |
5335s | I love it too um so I have a question |
5338s | related to that what are your thoughts |
5340s | on a rare glyph that makes us able to |
5343s | increase aix's Beyond tier five uh we do |
5346s | have a pretty hard rule on not doing |
5347s | that um on an item but in return a |
5350s | random stat will drop by the same level |
5353s | of the increase |
5355s | um I think that's a really cool idea um |
5359s | I think it kind of goes against how |
5362s | we've tried to set up exalted affixes in |
5364s | the game's uh ecosystem in general like |
5367s | the whole item system in general and um |
5370s | we do |
5371s | have plans for new ways to interact with |
5374s | crafting in the game coming um I'm sorry |
5377s | that's not one of |
5378s | [Music] |
5385s | them I cannot |
5394s | [Applause] |
5397s | storms this is not over all |
5402s | right more questions is shattering going |
5405s | to be streamlined it's kind of mind |
5408s | sweeper like chore trying to shatter |
5410s | full |
5411s | inventory |
5414s | oh |
5417s | um I don't think we have anything for |
5419s | that right now but I understand the |
5423s | frustration uh any thought thought of uh |
5425s | stealing an idea from 40K Inquisitor |
5427s | they have an in-game achievement for a |
5429s | class specific thing say cast 10,000 |
5431s | smites it gives plus one stat so you're |
5433s | incentivized to try out different play |
5434s | Styles without being super needed to get |
5436s | them all um we we definitely talked |
5440s | about things like that actually |
5444s | um I can't remember why we didn't do |
5447s | it that was that was definitely |
5449s | discussed at at length um it was it was |
5452s | before actually 40K was out so I don't |
5454s | think it was specifically the fighter |
5456s | key version but something extremely |
5457s | similar to that was heavily discussed at |
5460s | one |
5470s | point |
5473s | oh keep this train rolling we at 16 |
5476s | we're 16 appropriately leveled Mike for |
5481s | shame |
5492s | all right all right all |
5496s | right to the surface we've |
5499s | escaped funny it's spelled just like the |
5501s | word Escape will eoth remain the |
5503s | Pinnacle boss in season 2 and if so will |
5506s | there be an in-game ladder for first |
5507s | kill um I don't know if there's going to |
5509s | be an in-game ladder for first kill I |
5510s | think it'll still be the Pinnacle boss |
5512s | though in season two |
5515s | we are working on new ladders though I |
5516s | know that's that's the sort of thing |
5518s | that we are trying to to get out I don't |
5520s | I don't know this I can't can't speak |
5522s | the status specifically on season 2 on |
5523s | that um but new new ladders and new |
5526s | interesting ladders that's something |
5527s | that we did there was a brainstorming |
5528s | session on that I I saw of like hey what |
5532s | do people want ladders |
5533s | for and uh then let's build the back end |
5536s | to make those |
5541s | work so I think we're in the let's build |
5543s | the back end to make those work |
5546s | facee I |
5553s | am give me |
5555s | treasure I cannot do that |
5561s | treasure thank |
5567s | you all |
5569s | right uh what about bringing in |
5572s | something similar to raids with more |
5574s | than four people per party our raids |
5576s | taking an hour or two per raid or |
5577s | something it would be super cool to see |
5578s | more social type things put into the |
5580s | game um we're we really hesitant to |
5584s | bring content into the game that |
5585s | requires more than one person to |
5587s | complete um I think if we did start |
5590s | doing raid style content it would need |
5592s | to be um things you could like hire |
5594s | mercenary parties to like do it with |
5598s | you um it's a |
5601s | pretty |
5602s | high uh High scope thing to be putting |
5606s | in that uh possibly borderline you know |
5609s | goes against some stuff we want to do |
5611s | with the game so it's I low probability |
5614s | I would say but um you know maybe in the |
5617s | future like it's it's it's a new style |
5619s | of content to to add to the game and at |
5621s | some point we're going to be looking for |
5622s | those and being like where can we find |
5624s | one you |
5627s | know uh I think this is necessary to |
5631s | just get that W DEC threshold |
5637s | I do want to acknowledge there more wasi |
5638s | questions and I've talked about that a |
5640s | few times it's it's in the we'd love to |
5643s | don't know if it's feasible to do |
5650s | category but we have been running |
5657s | tests I I think part of it is |
5661s | like we've been trying really we've been |
5663s | putting a large emphasis on quality in |
5665s | the game recently um so whenever we're |
5667s | looking to like add something if |
5669s | someone's like it's kind of janky but I |
5671s | think it's really good to have we like |
5672s | no let's get a good quality version of |
5673s | it not make a janky version of it um and |
5677s | that's that's sort of the we we we've |
5678s | been really avoiding putting in like a |
5680s | lowquality version now just to get |
5681s | something in there and then you know |
5683s | we'll make it better later and then it |
5684s | sits in the game for 3 years as this |
5686s | lowquality version cuz it's kind of good |
5687s | enough and people get used to it and and |
5690s | then you're left with this kind of junky |
5692s | system and the game looks bad because of |
5693s | that cuz it is you know and it's um it's |
5697s | a tricky thing to start putting things |
5699s | like that in |
5701s | um cuz it then puts uh puts some like |
5704s | handcuffs on you to say okay well next |
5705s | next patch you have to do a good version |
5707s | of this because it can't sit in the game |
5709s | as a basic version and um so we we and |
5714s | it is like it does take time and it |
5715s | takes time away from other things and so |
5716s | there's a lot of stuff you the way |
5719s | um but it is a extremely important |
5722s | feature to a lot of players now |
5723s | especially that people have had a chance |
5724s | to try it out in other games |
5727s | so who knows what'll happen with it at |
5729s | this |
5733s | point and while it's not my personal cup |
5735s | of tea um I I do really want I love |
5740s | adding accessibility options for players |
5742s | when someone's like I couldn't play the |
5743s | game because some reason now this thing |
5747s | got added and I can play the game now |
5749s | like that's that's great |
5751s | right that's that's two thumbs up |
5753s | awesome |
5755s | uh will we be see will we see new stuff |
5757s | around set items this patch coming or |
5759s | later it'll either be this patch or next |
5765s | patch we're working on |
5768s | it okay you know |
5771s | what take a second out from killing of |
5773s | killing |
5776s | monsters take a second out from killing |
5778s | monsters here is a cool little uh |
5783s | screenshot from the settings panel I |
5785s | know it's kind of weird settings panel |
5786s | it's D why some settings panel stuff |
5789s | well this is a new option in the |
5791s | settings panel that will show up in |
5795s | 1.2 slightly redacted |
5835s | sticky down in the corner let's keep |
5836s | playing I feel like I should almost jump |
5838s | down to the live and see what people are |
5839s | saying about |
5840s | it sorry I'll get to your questions on |
5842s | it eventually |
5846s | apologize I think if uh I was expecting |
5849s | a little bit more we we've had some slow |
5850s | streams recently and I I said I was |
5853s | expecting more people to show up this |
5854s | time and there are happy to have all you |
5856s | here love it |
5857s | um but I really do think I need to uh I |
5861s | cannot do that get some help with the |
5863s | question Subs I'm not great at uh lining |
5866s | up |
5867s | questions efficiently I cannot uh would |
5870s | you consider adding skins for the |
5872s | monolith room between Echoes I'd pay |
5875s | money for those also sorry if I'm making |
5877s | too many questions if there's Li There's |
5878s | No Limit I haven't noticed you asking |
5879s | too many I've had lots of great |
5881s | questions if bunch of them have been you |
5883s | keep asking |
5884s | them |
5886s | um and uh I I think it's a great idea um |
5891s | we we don't have anything coming for |
5893s | that in 1.2 I'd love to see it it's not |
5895s | the first time we seen it suggested um |
5898s | but it is like that's kind of one of |
5899s | those things we we've talked about |
5900s | hideouts being um a little |
5904s | like off the beaten path and you know we |
5906s | don't want people like like hiding out |
5908s | we want people playing together and |
5909s | things like that but like having ways to |
5911s | show off cool things your party members |
5914s | in that in Echo of a |
5915s | world I believe that Zone's called um or |
5919s | emest is the is the scene code if you |
5922s | want to know |
5925s | um |
5926s | and yeah I think it's a great |
5931s | idea uh dual class for the future maybe |
5934s | like a druid Necromancer these minions |
5936s | from both classes or without a setback I |
5938s | I I I love this idea I this is not the |
5941s | first time I've seen this suggested |
5942s | either |
5943s | um but yeah I think it's great having um |
5947s | like classes that combine multiple it's |
5950s | it is really tricky cuz there's lots of |
5951s | things that are set up very specifically |
5953s | in the lower sections of the trees to |
5955s | synergize with other classes um and and |
5959s | mixing mixing and matching those causes |
5961s | some weird stuff to happen um |
5964s | um and it might cause us to like Nerf |
5967s | some nodes or like uh I think we |
5971s | probably have to have certain nodes that |
5973s | were |
5973s | like this just doesn't work if you're a |
5976s | hybrid class like or or a multic class |
5979s | or a mix class or whatever you want to |
5980s | call it |
5982s | um so I think there there's there's a |
5984s | lot of fine-tune balce stuff that would |
5985s | happen that would there'd be a lot of a |
5988s | lot of spanners in the works type thing |
5990s | um but I would love to do it I think it |
5993s | be a ton of |
5998s | fun or the other thing as well is just |
6000s | like having items that give abilities so |
6003s | it's just like you're uh like a rogue |
6007s | and you you get a bow that gives you |
6009s | someon wolf you know like like I think I |
6011s | think that's another way to do it as |
6013s | well where you can just like put a |
6014s | single ability over |
6021s | um you know all things things like that |
6024s | are stuff we we like to |
6034s | explore |
6036s | uh uh any chance to further develop |
6038s | controller support yes bunch of stuff |
6039s | feels clunky the state is right now |
6041s | being able to lean back and slay stuff |
6042s | is so relaxing in other RPGs yeah um |
6045s | there's a bunch of targeting stuff |
6046s | coming this patch and a bunch of like |
6047s | little menu stuff is I say little it's a |
6049s | ton of hard work but there's lots of |
6050s | stuff of like how menus are organized |
6052s | and certain hot keys and things like |
6053s | that that that's being improved and and |
6055s | lots of fixes and stuff like that for |
6056s | there too but like the the targeting is |
6058s | the big big part of the controller stuff |
6059s | coming this |
6063s | match uh will we get a boss's first kill |
6066s | ladder I don't know if it's going to be |
6067s | 1.2 but is something that we are working |
6076s | on quality of life question removing the |
6079s | and equip removing and equipping an item |
6081s | with a plus X to skill AIC always |
6083s | results in the skills with unused skill |
6085s | points is there a way to remember this |
6087s | sometimes for boss fights you want to |
6089s | swap items and you always end up with |
6091s | unused skill points |
6099s | um maybe we don't have anything like |
6103s | that for 1.2 I can tell you that um this |
6105s | is one of those things that um it is a |
6109s | little frustrating for players and we do |
6111s | get like we do get feedback on this |
6112s | category a fair bit so I think that |
6114s | there is um there is an issue to be |
6117s | solved I'm not sure if I'm not sure if |
6120s | that's the best way to solve it it might |
6121s | be um you can't |
6129s | run but I I do think that there is an |
6131s | issue to solve there |
6138s | um yeah uh is there a possibility for |
6141s | auto pickup and storage for crafting |
6142s | materials like gold |
6145s | just going to glance over this way for a |
6147s | second um all right the crafting system |
6151s | Le is so amazing thank you for the and |
6152s | the team for the hard work that's gone |
6154s | into it into that but is there anything |
6156s | new or further improvements coming to |
6158s | the crafting system in next season oh |
6160s | yeah oh |
6164s | yeah yes definitely |
6167s | yes |
6170s | um yeah I can't talk about it yet |
6174s | is see this big |
6177s | grin |
6182s | yeah it's going to be |
6187s | [Music] |
6192s | great there's there's uh changes |
6196s | to um things in these categories |
6200s | coming um |
6203s | there's additions there's |
6205s | removal uh and it's a good thing trust |
6209s | me um |
6213s | there's |
6215s | uh there's there's other other systems |
6218s | as well uh that are that are getting |
6220s | added for more crafting stuff in new |
6224s | situations um yeah there there's lots of |
6227s | cool crafting stuff coming yeah it's |
6228s | going to be great |
6230s | [Music] |
6237s | there was there was there was one |
6238s | meeting that |
6240s | uh I was sitting in I was I was I was |
6244s | typing up like a um like a recap from |
6247s | last meeting or something like that I |
6248s | can't what it was I was doing and um and |
6251s | someone someone made an offend comment |
6252s | like I really wish we could just do this |
6253s | and it's like something like oh we'll |
6255s | never be able to do that and someone |
6256s | else is like we can do that and I'm like |
6260s | whoa whoa whoa did I just hear what I |
6262s | think I just heard yeah it's going to be |
6274s | good all right I'm I'm excited for the |
6276s | crafting changes I don't know if you can |
6279s | tell uh is there a possibility to get a |
6280s | skip campaign after beating one time |
6282s | like Diablo um I talked about this a |
6284s | little bit earlier um I hope you were |
6286s | there for that uh essentially we're not |
6287s | playing on that but we do want to |
6289s | increase the freedom people have to |
6290s | customize their character leveling |
6291s | experience um so that more uh Advanced |
6294s | players are able to uh to to take |
6296s | alternate routes easier have it be |
6298s | faster have it be um like more |
6301s | challenging but you know if you if you |
6302s | got a if you're experienced player and |
6304s | you have a good build and you have maybe |
6306s | items that's in all its characters you |
6307s | can um you can jump ahead faster and |
6309s | there's uh you less risk of forgetting |
6312s | of of having stuff be left |
6314s | behind so we we don't a lot of times |
6317s | where it's like okay yeah you can jump |
6318s | ahead you do it like but I still have to |
6319s | go back and get these things that that's |
6322s | kind of a a key point that we want to |
6323s | sort of |
6326s | fix I did go past I could go back for |
6328s | this I thought we're going to do |
6329s | lightless Arbor we're going to go back |
6330s | do we have the wayo here |
6336s | yet we have the way point we do have the |
6338s | way point we're going |
6340s | back we're going back we're going to go |
6343s | try it I don't think we have time to do |
6345s | it this this uh might do it next time |
6347s | start the next next uh which way is it |
6350s | it's up |
6352s | there I walked right past it are you |
6355s | going to update the unique models to |
6357s | match the thumbnail when you equip them |
6358s | for example the body unique looks |
6360s | different uh it's something that we're |
6361s | working on it's going to take a long |
6362s | time to get them all in |
6365s | um I I there's not 1.2 is not going to |
6369s | be a huge update that include a huge |
6370s | update as far as unique body armors |
6372s | getting looking like the actual body |
6374s | armors I'm |
6379s | sorry |
6380s | uh more questions |
6384s | did I oh it jumped all the way to the |
6387s | bottom was I that far |
6393s | behind oh my God I was that far behind |
6396s | that it jumped me all the way to the |
6399s | bottom oh I'm so sorry okay I'm just |
6401s | going to scroll up and answer some some |
6402s | questions here let's let's speedrun some |
6406s | questions uh any graphics changes for |
6408s | the next update also will you revisit UI |
6410s | somewhat such as chat interface friends |
6412s | list maybe clean up some things there's |
6413s | there's always updates happening around |
6414s | those things um not I wouldn't say a |
6417s | complete overhaul in all of those |
6418s | categories but there are there are |
6420s | updates in those |
6421s | categories um any Val orb sty crafting |
6424s | coming 1.2 |
6431s | uh |
6437s | [Applause] |
6439s | no uh |
6443s | uh okay a psycher build in last Epoch |
6447s | psycher I don't know what that |
6450s | is like a like a Mesmer from Guild Wars |
6452s | that's about the best thing that sounds |
6454s | like to me sure it's from a game that I |
6456s | should have played and |
6460s | haven't uh would if I skipped your |
6463s | question and you're like that that |
6464s | question was asked way after mine and I |
6465s | missed it I'm really sorry um but I am |
6469s | far |
6471s | behind all right would love a loot |
6474s | lizard Queen boss that fights back yeah |
6477s | kind of like |
6479s | um we we we we talked about a few things |
6481s | like this something kind of like the the |
6483s | end of the the the vaults in |
6486s | D3 um any plans for adding sound cues |
6490s | for loot filter like Poe hearing that |
6492s | Ding EOG nice EOG item drops would be |
6495s | awesome I agree I don't think anything's |
6497s | in there right now for |
6499s | it uh do you feel any pressure from poe2 |
6501s | coming out as a competitor or you seeing |
6503s | it as a good source for ideas um I mean |
6506s | I'm I I've seeing it as uh a really fun |
6509s | awesome game that I am enjoying playing |
6512s | and |
6516s | um I I don't think I think it is only |
6518s | good for the genre and by extension good |
6521s | for us that it is doing so |
6530s | well all right |
6535s | question is can we get out of |
6542s | here I might just not be strong enough |
6544s | to do this I may have to go put on some |
6546s | better uniques my |
6553s | goodness I cannot do that okay this is |
6556s | going to be |
6557s | tight but I need to answer |
6561s | questions uh I can finally talk about |
6563s | auto storage thank you you're welcome a |
6568s | weir looks like people are enjoying this |
6570s | that's great this is not Auto pickup |
6572s | sorry to be clear this is um it it's |
6575s | it's it's skipping this |
6582s | button uh would you be able to comment |
6585s | on what redact it is it's a new item |
6587s | type that would have reacted to this |
6591s | button but uh you're going to get an |
6594s | option to make it's not need |
6599s | to similar to the things near it in the |
6603s | list yeah uh I know you've been asked |
6606s | lots already but any plans for offline |
6607s | ntx I play exclusive the offline I been |
6609s | money in my steam wallet um I don't |
6612s | think we have uh I I don't think that's |
6614s | being actively pursued at the moment but |
6615s | I think it is something that would be |
6616s | nice to do if we |
6618s | could uh can you reveal any ideas uh |
6621s | build and classwise you have to drop due |
6624s | to them adding too much |
6625s | complexity oh good question |
6630s | um there's there's tons of stuff I top |
6634s | my head can I think of one it's a good |
6637s | example not |
6639s | really |
6642s | um yes here we go um and something that |
6645s | might hopefully come back I still I have |
6647s | faith cuz we now have ways to interact |
6648s | with other abilities um we had the idea |
6652s | of a a um like one player casts tornado |
6655s | and another player cast Fireball and |
6657s | hits tornado turns the fireball into |
6658s | turns the tornado into a fire tornado |
6660s | and does a bunch of extra damage and all |
6661s | that sort of stuff um and that |
6664s | got |
6666s | um that got pulled and that's why we |
6668s | actually have the fire tornado node |
6672s | um oh wow that's so exciting will |
6674s | redacted also be uh able to redacted or |
6678s | is that a season 3 thing um the redacted |
6681s | line is coming in season 2 |
6684s | um the the the little screenshot there |
6686s | is a screenshot from what season 2 will |
6688s | look like and um we just that's that's |
6693s | Photoshop after the |
6694s | fact uh you wanted to go do lightless AR |
6696s | I think thank you for the reminder |
6697s | morning Mike uh first time able to catch |
6699s | a stream live which is great what has |
6701s | been the biggest bottleneck to achieving |
6703s | a faster patch cycle and do you feel the |
6705s | bottleneck is being resolved with season |
6706s | 2 um |
6713s | I don't know I don't know I don't have a |
6715s | good answer to this |
6719s | um we we are definitely increasing our |
6722s | speed of doing things that's absolutely |
6724s | true um more and more content is getting |
6726s | created faster and |
6729s | faster there like a dozen things we've |
6732s | done for that I don't know what the |
6733s | biggest one would be I'm |
6735s | sorry love the spoiler can't imagine |
6737s | ever unchecking a single one of those |
6738s | boxes yeah me neither but you know what |
6741s | um the options the best way to do |
6758s | it uh Happy New Year my Ki thank you |
6761s | Happy New Year to you |
6763s | too oh new specialization slot got to |
6766s | get that |
6767s | using might we might we might go a |
6769s | little long here if everyone's oh we're |
6771s | throwing it over to |
6774s | uh Aaron after this I don't know what |
6776s | the timing of that is Aaron tell me if |
6778s | you're starting like immediately after |
6780s | the stream ends or if I've got a little |
6781s | bit of a buffer time if I go late let me |
6783s | know if you're |
6786s | listening um any plans for gear build |
6789s | loadouts no |
6793s | um that's that's a tricky thing I |
6798s | would I think having them without having |
6800s | a way to like wholesale swap between |
6802s | them |
6803s | it's it's a tricky proposition to to |
6826s | include fools fools |
6833s | all right more questions so basically |
6835s | all cooked and still cooking can't wait |
6838s | yeah uh do you feel Health versus Ward |
6840s | balance is in a good spot at the moment |
6842s | um I think that there is a significant |
6846s | amount of uh difference in the in the |
6849s | curves of of where they get their power |
6852s | from So like |
6856s | um I think the the maximum potential of |
6858s | Ward is probably a little bit higher but |
6860s | I don't think the maximum potential is |
6861s | like dramatically |
6864s | higher |
6867s | um in a lot of |
6872s | situations um but the early potential is |
6875s | dramatically higher |
6879s | um so you know we're we're we're looking |
6881s | at changing those curves a |
6883s | bit okay good we got a little time we're |
6885s | going to go a little bit late not not |
6887s | crazy late we're going to go a little |
6887s | bit late sorry someone's Wai wanting me |
6889s | to finish for some other reason |
6893s | uh cuz we got lots of good questions and |
6894s | I don't like cutting them off uh any |
6897s | chance for next season to contain a set |
6898s | challenge a set of challenges 40 to be |
6903s | exact no |
6907s | 40 this is a reference something I'm |
6909s | missing it I'm |
6916s | sorry I don't know what the reference is |
6918s | too I |
6919s | should I'm I'm really early in poe2 and |
6922s | I've been intentionally not watching |
6925s | anything cuz I want to try and |
6926s | experience it all naively |
6929s | um so there's I'm I'm guessing there's |
6932s | something |
6934s | there uh I like going this |
6939s | way uh let's go that way for |
6942s | now up |
6947s | here uh cold |
6949s | pen I think that's where we want to go |
6952s | let me just look yeah good not crazy |
6959s | well not making |
6964s | mistakes uh someone's replied to someone |
6968s | else and asking for a comment uh-oh how |
6972s | do I find |
6977s | that oh it's just a joke okay cool uh |
6981s | our unique Quest monster is supposed to |
6983s | respawn if you Town portal after killing |
6985s | them and then just go |
6987s | back um this is an unfortunate side |
6991s | effect of uh the the zones |
6994s | respawning |
6998s | um we we are still working on better |
7000s | ways to make Zone |
7001s | persistance uh play better and work |
7003s | better and all sort of |
7005s | stuff but until then it's not a |
7009s | bug it's a future |
7018s | uh since you got kicked to the bottom |
7020s | mer store update |
7022s | again um I don't have anything for you |
7025s | on the category I |
7034s | apologize these bees are |
7037s | MVP of uh |
7042s | of this |
7048s | build fight amongst yourselves I cannot |
7052s | do |
7055s | that if you didn't know uh Mages Exile |
7059s | Mages will fight their they they're |
7061s | enemies to everyone um they'll fight |
7063s | each other and so you can actually use |
7066s | the Exile Mages to kill things |
7072s | if you |
7086s | want I cannot do that |
7104s | come |
7105s | on I cannot do |
7121s | that come |
7123s | on do zero damage here I need to fix |
7127s | that |
7133s | I cannot do |
7144s | that Pebbles not |
7151s | bad I cannot do |
7156s | that more questions Mike this is the |
7159s | problem with me with me going down this |
7160s | path is that it's actually kind of |
7161s | difficult |
7164s | uh since you got keep the bottom yet uh |
7166s | thanks for deterministic crafting not |
7167s | entirely but you know um deterministic |
7170s | elements I think are really great |
7171s | volcanic orb tree getting any love not a |
7174s | ton uh merch store 2025 gosh I sure hope |
7177s | so uh curious about two things Marksman |
7180s | lacking flat cold damage for Elemental |
7182s | arrows Bush and spellblade lacking uh |
7186s | decent lightning melee options are those |
7189s | intentional um |
7193s | I mean |
7194s | there's I think there's some pretty |
7196s | powerful lightning melee |
7198s | options uh available one of my buddies |
7201s | is playing a lightning melee build |
7202s | that's great uh for Spell blade so yeah |
7205s | I I think they might not |
7208s | be uh there might be room for some extra |
7211s | stuff but I don't think it's like Barren |
7214s | Wasteland type thing on most of those |
7218s | um cold is a low C cold for been yeah |
7223s | that's being intentionally not there |
7225s | yeah uh considering the length of the |
7227s | campaign is there any is there a worry |
7229s | that LE season leagues may not be |
7231s | participated in or will there be |
7232s | supplemental campaigns during those |
7234s | times the original campaign is skippable |
7237s | um I think people that are experienced |
7238s | enough to be like uh having done the |
7240s | campaign a few times are going to are |
7242s | are doing it very quickly um and we are |
7245s | looking at new ways to to augment that |
7247s | with as as more experienced players and |
7249s | I missed a sub I apologize and there's a |
7251s | new one here too so Wonder |
7253s | uh gun steam V thank you for the sub |
7256s | appreciate you |
7259s | and shoot uh Ferrera B fera 2735 I |
7268s | appreciate you thanks for being |
7270s | here um all right last Epoch Rune words |
7273s | confirmed oh my goodness I would love |
7274s | Rune words we the |
7276s | um uh legendary crafting is kind of a |
7281s | similar |
7282s | uh Vibe initially to run wordss is is |
7285s | sort of a similar |
7286s | feel from a like game design |
7290s | standpoint any chance for hardcore uh |
7292s | Run High corruption Maps making your |
7294s | build voided and deleting instead of |
7296s | going to standard or normal Seasons |
7300s | um probably not I think anyone who |
7302s | really cares about that is just going to |
7303s | stop playing the the It Anyways when it |
7304s | gets kicked out and they don't have |
7306s | access to their stash um but this way it |
7308s | gives people who are like I want to try |
7310s | it but I don't know if I'm actually |
7310s | going to enjoy it a chance to do that |
7313s | with a little less risk so I think it'll |
7314s | get more people into |
7316s | it are the cycles going to be a yearly |
7319s | update no uh if so what's causing the |
7322s | bottleneck between Cycles that's it's |
7324s | we've never had a cycle go a full year |
7327s | um have the boss War Chang has been |
7329s | implemented to the community test realm |
7330s | I believe so yes if so how has it been |
7333s | received by the community testers I I |
7335s | haven't looked I'm |
7336s | sorry um I know the what we've said |
7341s | about it has been received very well |
7343s | podcast starts in 96 Minutes okay cool I |
7346s | know this a little while ago happy New |
7348s | Year how difficult uh was it to |
7350s | implement the auto sort for inventory |
7352s | for playing P2 I highly miss that and |
7355s | Ellie telling me the the heck damage |
7357s | type I di to um the the the damage type |
7359s | die two is actually tricky um the the |
7364s | sort uh the sort is a terrible sorting |
7367s | algorithm that I wrote forever ago and |
7370s | really wish we would fix cuz it's so |
7372s | bad |
7379s | um it it is not it it is a like a first |
7384s | year computer science major level |
7388s | algorithm to do it the the version we're |
7390s | using it's it's terrible and uh I |
7393s | apologize for the mistakes it makes |
7403s | human this guy in her there is a way to |
7406s | get this character to join you at the |
7408s | end of time only by guiding |
7417s | you uh P1 has 40 challenges every leue |
7420s | ah oh I see what you're |
7423s | saying I totally forgot about those yes |
7427s | um I love that |
7429s | system that's a good one right isn't |
7431s | that something people like |
7434s | totally forgot about it it's been a |
7435s | while since I've actually tried to |
7436s | complete one of them uh would you say |
7438s | these bees are the bees needes I |
7439s | absolutely would yes uh will there be |
7444s | new experimental affixes and will other |
7447s | item types get any if so um experimental |
7449s | axes I would say there's uh there are |
7452s | some minor adjustments to some |
7454s | experimental ax things |
7457s | um but uh it's not a significant change |
7461s | happening do that uh it's not like a oh |
7464s | shoot oh wow okay |
7467s | nice thought I was just dead cuz I made |
7469s | a mistake but it took pity on me I can |
7473s | not do |
7487s | that oh gosh |
7493s | that's just me being an idiot I'm like |
7495s | oh let's teleport and use my movement |
7497s | ability that I need to save |
7500s | myself oh of course you can't redo |
7503s | it |
7509s | oh I forgot that wasn't an |
7515s | option I would have picked my gear out |
7518s | more carefully |
7527s | okay well we're |
7529s | overtime and next time I'm not going to |
7532s | finish here I'm I'm going to answer a |
7533s | bunch more questions next time I'm going |
7534s | to actually do that and I'm going to |
7536s | succeed cuz I'm going to take a second |
7538s | and actually put some better gear on |
7540s | um and and I'm going to play not like an |
7543s | idiot and we're going to do |
7545s | it let's answer some questions around |
7547s | this |
7550s | out uh |
7553s | I haven't played in a while but my |
7555s | favorite skill is hammer throw there |
7557s | wasn't any good modifiers to it for |
7558s | lightning damage besides Idols has this |
7560s | been changed or will this be a new uh |
7563s | changed in the new season |
7564s | um I don't think there's significant |
7568s | lightning damage updates in 1.2 to |
7570s | hammer throw I don't think it's in |
7575s | 1.2 uh since you are balancing around |
7577s | 300 corruption is uh any plans for |
7580s | balancing favor and loot in a way where |
7582s | people won't feel forced to play 700 |
7585s | plus corruption if they want maximum |
7587s | efficiency I mean there's H you're |
7594s | always I think the pursuit of efficiency |
7596s | is very natural and I think if |
7599s | we |
7602s | um I think we'd have to put pretty |
7604s | significant diminishing returns on |
7606s | corruption's application to uh favor |
7610s | gain and I don't think that would be |
7612s | very well received in |
7616s | general um will there be but but I I I |
7620s | hear the problem you're talking about I |
7621s | think there's better |
7622s | Solutions um will there be in the future |
7625s | a way to see how much uh favor an enemy |
7628s | gives upon death or something similar uh |
7631s | will there be any other ways to gain |
7632s | favor much faster uh I I don't think |
7639s | there I understand this I'm sorry for |
7642s | the non- answer here again I understand |
7643s | the problem you're getting at um and we |
7645s | do have some changes to address that |
7647s | feeling um there's there's probably not |
7650s | going to be a way to say like this |
7651s | monster gives this much favor favor is |
7652s | directly related to experience and you |
7654s | can just like look at your experience |
7655s | bar kill something look at your |
7656s | experience bar and you can you can |
7657s | figure it out that way if you want |
7659s | um |
7663s | but um the concern is heard and |
7667s | understood and we are making adjustments |
7670s | on that category um um but I can't |
7674s | really talk about it yet |
7676s | sorry yeah not a question but I just |
7678s | really appreciate the way you guys give |
7680s | an option to pursue trade or solo play |
7683s | and interesting increasing rewards uh |
7686s | it's the best way I've seen done in all |
7688s | RPGs thank |
7690s | you I heard the controller updates will |
7692s | be amazing I they are pretty good um |
7695s | does that mean uh does that mean |
7698s | traversal skill ground targeting has |
7700s | been updated uh possibly to mimic The |
7702s | Shield charge ability where it continues |
7704s | to Traverse until the button is released |
7706s | so there's |
7709s | um no like so if you're if you're |
7711s | targeting teleport teleport won't let |
7715s | you um like hold down teleport button |
7718s | and it like move the move the cursor out |
7721s | and then like once you let go it |
7722s | teleports you we still want that |
7724s | teleport to happen immediately when you |
7725s | first press the button and that that |
7727s | delay time it feels terrible with with |
7730s | an ability that needs to happen |
7731s | instantly um so it's it's still going to |
7734s | try and um pick a pick a point but it's |
7737s | going to pick it a little bit |
7743s | smarter actually a lot bit smarter but |
7746s | yeah uh if GGG had New Year's |
7749s | resolutions uh what would it be if GGG |
7752s | had New Year's res if ehg I think it's |
7754s | if it must be |
7755s | ehg um what about you obviously what |
7758s | about you obviously you tackled weight |
7760s | loss like a champ any personal goals |
7762s | this year ah I see what you're saying |
7765s | um I actually started the weight loss |
7767s | thing in on April 1 not January 1 um |
7771s | don't know why just sort of started but |
7776s | um I think you know just just tons more |
7781s | content I think that would be the big |
7783s | just like this is this is 2025 is going |
7785s | to be last EPO I I I hope the most |
7789s | content released that we've had |
7792s | that that would be my goal that would be |
7793s | my personal goal is just like get as |
7794s | much content out as possible and like um |
7798s | I know the main project I'm working on |
7799s | right now that's for post 1.2 it like |
7802s | the the number like we're like okay we |
7803s | need this many of this thing Mike start |
7806s | now because it's going to take you a |
7807s | long time like that number is an absurd |
7810s | number where I'm like we can we're going |
7812s | to do it we can do it but like it's |
7816s | crazy when that gets revealed you be |
7818s | like ah I see what you've been doing for |
7819s | the last year |
7820s | Mike uh uh yeah so yeah lots lotss of |
7823s | content I think that's the big thing |
7824s | it's just this is this is content year |
7826s | content content |
7828s | content uh all right can we skip the |
7830s | campaign mid game endgame and alts um |
7834s | just put game skip so I can complain |
7836s | about no content I think this is a bit |
7838s | of a meme um we are I I think that |
7842s | there's like having I think that |
7845s | the the lack of variety in the campaign |
7850s | um hurts it a bit for returning players |
7852s | for people who've like been playing last |
7854s | Epoch for 5 years and have done the |
7856s | campaign 100 times and that that there |
7859s | is a lack of variety there I think it |
7860s | hurts it quite a bit |
7863s | um and I do really want to add more |
7865s | variety to that and like like get more |
7867s | dungeons in get more mechanics in get |
7869s | more like like seasonal style mechanics |
7871s | that show up and and affect the campaign |
7872s | experience and things like that and so |
7875s | you know like a new player comes back |
7876s | who maybe maybe skipped three seasons |
7878s | and comes back and starts playing and |
7879s | they're like like they got to do the |
7881s | campaign again start of the season but |
7882s | it's like oh my God there's all this new |
7884s | stuff that I'm experiencing the campaign |
7885s | and I'm learning these mechanics |
7886s | throughout the campaign that then help |
7888s | you dive into endgame really smoothly |
7890s | and I think that's a really positive |
7891s | experience um and then a player who's |
7893s | like I'm making my fifth alt this season |
7895s | is able to be like okay well I'm going |
7896s | to like start here and jump to this |
7899s | point and jump to that point and I'm |
7900s | into end game super early and I'm like |
7901s | 30 levels underleveled but who cares cuz |
7903s | I've got this sweet legendary Axe and |
7906s | you know just it's I think that those |
7907s | experiences are both really important |
7909s | and having both those flow and feel good |
7911s | is is great |
7915s | uh totally agree on the delay feeling |
7917s | bad thank you for answering me I always |
7919s | dislike traversal abilities on |
7920s | controller across all games uh cuz |
7922s | sometimes getting used to it for |
7923s | escaping body blocker issues yeah and I |
7925s | think there's a lot of we do have a |
7927s | variety as you point out there are some |
7928s | movement abilities that play a lot |
7929s | better on control than others like |
7931s | charge style abilities where you are |
7932s | holding that button down and you can and |
7934s | like the ability is balanced around |
7935s | having that functionality work that way |
7937s | or fix distance dashes so such as things |
7939s | like um uh where Surge and shift um |
7944s | things like that work really well as on |
7946s | controller because it they go the same |
7947s | distance no matter what so you just got |
7948s | to pick the direction and um the new |
7951s | systems we've got for controller |
7952s | targeting will help that direction feel |
7954s | a lot better more |
7956s | frequently um like like little things |
7959s | like there's |
7961s | um uh if you if you take smoke bomb and |
7964s | there's a node in smoke bomb that makes |
7966s | it a back flip and there's a no smoke |
7968s | that makes that back flip into a front |
7969s | flip and uh currently I think if you |
7972s | take the backflip |
7973s | node it targets properly but if you take |
7976s | the front flip node it actually like |
7977s | turns you around and goes the wrong |
7979s | direction or something like that and |
7980s | it's I can't there's a weird thing with |
7983s | the controller right now with with those |
7984s | nodes and um there's a whole buch in the |
7987s | new targeting stuff that Target that |
7988s | specifically will Target in the proper |
7990s | positions to make those like feel way |
7992s | better based on what's |
7996s | Happening |
7999s | yeah uh all right I've been got for be |
8003s | eight months Mike looking sexy my de |
8004s | thank you feeling good uh what is it |
8008s | Mike what is it sorry no can do uh any |
8013s | plans on making the time spent on Arena |
8016s | be rewarding uh speaking on loot |
8019s | something like how Grim Dawn um handles |
8021s | it right now it's better to just run |
8023s | monoliths and ignore the arena |
8025s | completely I think the um I think |
8027s | there's room for some like Arena rewards |
8029s | I'd love to see Arena rewards be really |
8030s | good in Arena |
8032s | um and not so great elsewhere and I |
8034s | don't know how best to do that |
8037s | really will L get more love it will um |
8041s | some of the stuff we wanted to do for |
8042s | Lich didn't make it into 1.2 I'm |
8044s | sorry sorry heavy uh there's also I |
8049s | think there's some stuff though it's not |
8051s | nothing but there's yeah um there's also |
8055s | I think a smoke bomb interaction where |
8056s | you're inside the smoke you can't uh |
8058s | work with other abilities uh but it |
8060s | doesn't throw feet as an option yeah it |
8063s | would be a great option it hasn't |
8064s | happened yeah yeah exactly that so yeah |
8065s | there's yeah it throws that one right at |
8067s | your feet every single time so that you |
8068s | don't it doesn't throw outside of where |
8070s | you are so it actually works and there's |
8072s | another one where it like it uses a a |
8073s | range shot and makes sure to throw that |
8075s | one shoot that one really far away at an |
8076s | enemy specifically cuz you're you're |
8078s | using it to like blind and debuff |
8079s | enemies instead of um buff yourself so |
8083s | yeah the there's smoke bomb was a ton of |
8086s | context specific like specialization and |
8088s | context specific targeting options that |
8092s | it will like it Che it checks the like |
8095s | okay there's enemies over here there's |
8096s | enemies over here you're facing this |
8097s | direction and it uses all of that |
8098s | information to pick the best Target in |
8100s | that situation and there's going to be |
8102s | some things that aren't perfect in the |
8103s | initial version cuz you'll and there's a |
8105s | bajillion combinations and we've tried |
8106s | to hit every combination we can and |
8107s | we've been testing it um but I'm sure |
8109s | someone's going to come with a build and |
8111s | be like no in this weird build situation |
8113s | I want to throw really far away even |
8115s | though it Buffs and we're like okay well |
8116s | let's find out a way to make it learn |
8118s | that um so yeah we're going to it'll I |
8121s | think it'll be like 98% amazing and |
8123s | there'll be a few edge cases that we'll |
8125s | need to fix |
8127s | still um just want to thank you guys for |
8129s | thinking controller players for thinking |
8131s | of controller players most of all thank |
8133s | you for the hybrid controller support |
8134s | it's amazing feature in your game you're |
8136s | welcome glad you like it um clap Bravo |
8140s | sir thank you for the love thoughts on |
8141s | your controller players we appreciate it |
8142s | you're welcome guys this is |
8145s | great uh range judgment when using a |
8147s | staff skill node when range judgment |
8149s | when using a staff skill that's a cool |
8151s | idea |
8152s | um I have no |
8160s | idea uh this is a very late character |
8163s | sheet rework reminder yeah oh my |
8166s | God I'm sorry it's not done |
8169s | yet um we we're getting close to the end |
8172s | here I think this is uh if you have any |
8174s | questions give it a couple minutes if |
8175s | you got any more last second ones drop |
8177s | that in I I appreciate it's good one I |
8180s | had a big problem targeting Buffs on |
8181s | minions will the controller patches fix |
8183s | that it'll definitely help a lot um cuz |
8185s | yes that is a problem one where it like |
8187s | it targets the specific spot there's |
8189s | still some like stuff happening where |
8192s | even if you get the targeting perfect it |
8193s | doesn't always hit the thing you want it |
8194s | to hit exactly but it does um it will |
8197s | Target the abilities a lot more |
8199s | accurately it'll Target on an enemy |
8201s | might not be the exact or sorry on an |
8203s | ally it might not be the exact Ally you |
8205s | wanted to Target um but it'll try and do |
8207s | its best based on what the ability is so |
8209s | like they it'll try and figure out if |
8211s | you should probably be targeting like |
8213s | the biggest thing or the smallest thing |
8214s | or the highest health or the lowest |
8215s | health and it'll try and do that |
8217s | automatically um and it doesn't always |
8220s | get it perfectly right but it's a lot |
8223s | lot better than it was before it can |
8225s | really it can it can survey the |
8227s | battlefield pretty well |
8228s | and figure out where best to do |
8233s | stuff uh what was your favorite treat to |
