61s	uh hey how's it going totally yep uh
63s	let's play some last deac I'm a very
65s	serious developer man who uh works on
69s	this game yep
72s	yep oh I've got
75s	my get my magic wand as
78s	well and the real sacrifice here is the
82s	glitter cuz what you may not be able to

158s	they're
165s	awesome and our goal this stream is a
169s	new weapon cuz our weapon's
172s	hurting and we know
176s	it so we need a new
178s	one we're going to find one
189s	so in case anyone's wondering this is uh
190s	in honor of Halloween quickly
196s	approaching it feels pretty
201s	obvious but just in case
217s	I'm also getting over a bit of a cold
219s	right now so if you if I if I sound a
221s	little raspy or about halfway through I
222s	start coughing that's what's going
227s	on all right start some questions as
230s	someone who loves Le looking at numbers
232s	recently makes me nervous do we have
234s	anything to worry about yet
238s	no has
241s	the
243s	um I don't know like the the ter Runway
245s	the term is run like we're fine it's
248s	there's there's no concerns to be
251s	had uh we're a very lean
256s	Studio you know no no office space uh
261s	our corporate structure is Tiny you know
264s	it's it's uh
272s	if I'm not worried you don't need to be
275s	worried and I'll start worrying way
277s	before it's
282s	necessary is Halloween big over in
284s	Europe I have no idea if Hallow's big
286s	over in Europe I am in North
290s	America it's pretty big
294s	here was say the like the straps for
297s	these wings I know say this every time I
299s	do this the straps These Wings Are is
300s	cutting into my arms
309s	[Music]
311s	o I love the mobility this build has I
313s	just I just got to get a better weapon
315s	that's the key thing I really got to get
316s	a better
318s	weapon those are just terrible for
324s	me come on find something to hit so I
328s	don't just pop out of form yeah yes
335s	wonderful hey Mike hello glad to have
338s	you with
339s	us uh weekly reminder for the traveler
343s	class is this this was the suggestion
345s	someone had
347s	um like like a classless class like an
350s	unclass
353s	almost
358s	right should be a be beautiful
361s	butterfly yeah with an hour before
364s	stream uh you're going to a dollar store
366s	there's not a lot of
371s	options what is this Z DPS build
391s	what will happen first my subathon ends
393s	or L season 2 will drop
397s	um I mean you're you're what 40 days
402s	now you could you could just go all the
406s	way it'll be like last EO season 12
409s	drops I'm still
413s	streaming that's that's what I'm
415s	picturing
419s	[Music]
428s	Idols no experimental this this is nope
431s	it's
434s	just chatter
439s	bait
440s	Yes
443s	W give me those yeah see how's our cash
448s	oh was pretty good
451s	uh we are short on glyphs we're still we
452s	still we're still
454s	new 36
459s	woo do I realize my camera is
462s	on oh my God no way really
471s	quick
475s	yes are you excited about poe2 very much
478s	excited about po2 I got to play at
480s	Gamescom uh like um 14 months
486s	ago and
488s	uh yeah I've been very excited ever
498s	since it's a big
503s	boy oh you know what let's go over here
506s	first overshot
511s	your death has come oh what's this o
514s	what's
520s	this it's a huge downgrade by the
528s	Numbers we we we'll do a proper check
530s	here in a
532s	second just gets me
537s	killed wo
541s	yeah it was not the one I thought it was
544s	actually uh so we're not going to use
555s	it where's your controller I'm sorry I
557s	didn't prepare
561s	it I know I said I would I got I got uh
564s	sidetracked getting a costume
573s	we can try it let's see what see what
579s	happens contr has been plugged
584s	in usually if I don't start it with the
587s	controller open like with like start the
589s	game with the controller open with this
591s	controller for whatever reason my other
592s	controller will detect live
605s	I've routed it through so many like
606s	different things to make it work with
608s	like a bunch of really old school
611s	games that it's just not
616s	happy I will do my best to get it for
619s	next time I
623s	apologize this build is like probably
626s	one of the best ones to use it for too
628s	except Forbe war path
631s	[Music]
638s	all right is there any plans to make
640s	classes that are less played more
642s	relevant I feel like Mark's been
644s	detonating Arrow uh shurikens has been
647s	meta for the last 3 years uh for
651s	Marksman uh would love to see a shake
655s	up yeah there's definitely been some
657s	some other things that have have come
658s	and gone from Marksman uh in that time
660s	but yeah
661s	there's uh there's there's definitely a
664s	a very substantial amount of balance
667s	changes that'll be coming at
669s	1.2
672s	yeah and that happens whenever there's
674s	like so like new new content new uh
676s	abilities new
678s	[Music]
680s	um uh you know equipment
683s	new uh other
687s	things can I say that no I can't say
689s	that can I say that yeah I can say that
690s	um
693s	the yeah like
696s	there's yeah there's new stuff coming
698s	from
707s	marman actually had to develop some new
709s	tech recently for one of the things from
711s	marxman
726s	leak it mik
727s	nah
731s	nah oh my goodness I need culling so
738s	bad to damage so
748s	bad keep
751s	this little guy is going to
756s	vanish kind of want something else
759s	though I don't know why but this reminds
761s	me of there's a Magik card this reminds
762s	me of that I really
764s	like terrible
767s	card and I struggling from oh in honor
771s	of here we
777s	go right
781s	got to be the
784s	way uh one of my favorite types of
787s	gameplay in any arpg is to use dots most
790s	of the time however it feels very slow
792s	compared to crit builds and usually
794s	underperforms what the team's thoughts
796s	on this and how do you balance it I mean
798s	we the same way we balance every other
800s	build
802s	um I don't think dots are
805s	necessarily inherently worse than crits
808s	overall
809s	um there's definitely situations where
811s	they shine big
814s	time
818s	um but yeah CR is pretty popular right
820s	now in
822s	general I don't know I I
825s	I we we look at underperforming and
828s	overperforming things and we adjust them
830s	to uh become more
833s	performing I I don't know how to sorry
841s	interesting ring we've got a
844s	raain vapor Vader welcome everyone from
847s	that chat too glad to have you on board
850s	hang out chill out
858s	relax uh do you like abro being killed
861s	quickly or would you rather be more of a
863s	challenge for builds some builds destroy
864s	quickly I mean I I there's there's a
867s	couple really dramatic outliers that are
870s	exploiting mistakes in the balance that
872s	are causing it to happen way faster than
874s	it should which is like okay great um
878s	but I think the vast majority of builds
880s	are are sitting in a pretty good spot
882s	with
884s	like uh like heavily heavily heavily
886s	geared characters being able to kill it
887s	relatively quickly overall but not uh I
891s	don't think in a excessive speed from
893s	the most part
909s	whenever you get those like setup builds
912s	where it's like okay I'm going to stack
913s	these Buffs beforehand and like okay
916s	boss pops and oh boss dies like really
918s	quickly just cuz there's a there's a
919s	combination of of things that line up in
921s	a certain way that cause damage to go
923s	bistic you know things like that are
925s	like they're going to happen every once
926s	in a while they're not ideal and we try
927s	and we try and avoid them in all s stuff
929s	but I I don't think it's like the end of
932s	the world if it happens on Extreme
935s	outliers um obviously we'll we like exit
940s	we made a
943s	mistake
944s	yeah you obviously I should say
948s	Obviously any teasers for Lich updates
951s	nothing specific I can share it is um I
953s	think it's a class we are looking at
954s	especially after uh after after we stole
957s	suies from it um there's kind of a a
960s	hole right there it's actually more of a
961s	hole right here
969s	um
981s	impossible but yeah I think this room I
983s	think this it's also reflected in some
984s	of the requests we've been getting
985s	lately
986s	for um
993s	for for a few for a few for a few things
1000s	[Music]
1002s	yeah uh you mentioned many times that
1004s	you know what you want to do a set items
1006s	can you say anything about what this
1008s	might or when this might happen which
1009s	cycle or any time frame all I can say is
1012s	it won't happen in 1.2 that's all I can
1015s	say um so it'll be sometime post 1.2
1023s	um it's it's a tricky thing cuz it does
1025s	it hits a lot of uh a lot of systems all
1028s	at once and so it's a tough thing
1030s	to uh death
1033s	has like work
1035s	in at the right moment it I know it
1038s	sounds like it should be just easy to do
1041s	but it's a little it's a little more
1043s	involved and so it's kind of got some
1045s	things that have to go with it and um
1049s	kind of tricky to find time for it so
1051s	we're still we're still working on the
1052s	the right way to do
1055s	it in the meantime sets take up a pretty
1058s	tiny percentage of the overall item
1061s	count especially since we basically
1062s	stopped making set items while we wait
1065s	and we've been making a ton more unique
1066s	items and you know we added in
1068s	experimental items in the meantime and
1069s	we we added in personal items in the
1071s	meantime we um you know there's a lot of
1074s	things we've added since then to to beef
1076s	up the item pool that um
1081s	makes the percentage of items that are
1082s	like set items even
1093s	less any chance for you to include uh 3D
1097s	artwork for unique armor pieces with
1099s	unique weapons right now would be really
1101s	nice I mean we're we are so we're
1102s	working on
1105s	um the the ones that are most impactful
1109s	first and the ones that have the best
1110s	rate to return first so weapons um you
1113s	can do a weapon once and it's done for
1115s	all classes so every time you do a uh an
1118s	armor piece if it's if it's only an
1120s	armor piece for one class you only do it
1122s	once but um then it only works
1125s	for one in five characters can even
1128s	possibly equip it
1132s	um the ones that then work for all
1134s	classes you have to do five times um so
1137s	it's five times as much work so it's
1139s	still just
1140s	like every time you do it it's 1if of
1143s	the work and it's it's less work to do
1145s	variance of on a theme but it still is
1148s	you know it's a lot more work to do uh
1150s	armor pieces than it is to do weapons so
1152s	we're doing the weapons and the the
1154s	things that sit that need less variation
1158s	first that makes any sense just cuz it's
1160s	we can do them faster and they're more
1165s	impactful um but yeah we're we're we're
1168s	constantly expanding what's available in
1170s	that
1171s	category there's not many right now
1174s	there's a
1176s	couple okay come on let's let's let's
1179s	see what we can do
1196s	here yeah man
1202s	uh can you share a bit of the procedures
1205s	you are using When developing skill
1206s	trees for passives and
1208s	skills um sure like
1216s	uh like I I I guess there's two things
1219s	there's this this is what I would call
1221s	passives passives uh and and this is
1225s	what I would call skill trees
1229s	um I've gone pretty deep on this before
1232s	but yeah I can take a little little
1233s	little detour for
1241s	it lot of crit there let's shatter
1246s	that uh okay so the the first thing we
1248s	generally do like let's we talk give you
1251s	like a rough idea on how skills have
1253s	their trees developed quickly um the
1256s	first thing that kind of happens is we
1257s	we we make sure that there's a the base
1259s	skill gets created um it gets
1262s	Set uh am I okay to lose a bet or
1265s	something no this is entirely voluntary
1267s	believe it or not um it's Halloween
1270s	coming up next this is the last stream
1272s	before Halloween um the skill tree
1275s	process goes I actually forgot I was
1278s	wearing this until you just said
1281s	that ooh um the skill tree process uh we
1286s	start with the base skill make sure it's
1287s	like fun interesting uh there's there's
1290s	like it looks good it feels good it's
1292s	responsive it does what it needs to do
1295s	uh and then we go into a uh
1297s	brainstorming situation where it's like
1300s	the the no bad answers Trope um
1304s	ridiculous stuff gets put in there it's
1305s	a gigantic list everyone's welcome from
1307s	the team just like put whatever they
1308s	want in uh and then we go through and uh
1312s	we'll do we'll do a small team of just
1313s	like gutting the ones that are just like
1315s	impossible where someone's like
1317s	[Music]
1319s	serpent strike not need a spear anymore
1321s	and we're like that's impossible we just
1322s	can't do it and people like but that's
1324s	so sounds so easy like yeah but it just
1326s	it doesn't work and so we just know and
1328s	it gets cut you know things things like
1329s	that we just like it just doesn't work
1331s	that
1334s	way uh and then we
1338s	um then we go
1340s	to uh we we do sort of a medium team
1343s	where people can like defend their ideas
1344s	if there's things that they really want
1345s	to get in
1348s	um promote their ideas might be better
1349s	way of putting it um and we we we'll do
1352s	a design meeting where we go through the
1353s	tree and we uh pick out ones that we
1355s	really like and then we'll have a list
1357s	of about 30 or so nodes that we really
1359s	like um maybe 35 nodes that we really
1362s	like and we'll we'll put those into a um
1366s	uh like like a we we Google draw
1370s	something like that like something to to
1372s	to lay out the nodes where you can move
1373s	them around and everything and oh my God
1375s	this is
1377s	itchy uh and well we'll sort of like lay
1380s	out a skeleton start just picking things
1382s	like how many points each note should
1383s	have stuff like that trying to get some
1385s	rough ranges
1387s	um that that process is usually done by
1390s	like one person maybe even
1391s	two uh and then
1394s	we uh then we go over what's what's
1396s	there in a in a larger design meeting
1398s	skills skills team probably like six or
1400s	seven people and we'll go through each
1402s	node and talk about like requirements
1404s	and try to make pick out details of like
1405s	oh this is too this is too strong this
1407s	is too weak no one will ever take that
1409s	um things like that and then we
1412s	uh uh go to implementation and someone
1415s	takes that tree and puts it into the
1417s	game engine and someone else takes that
1418s	tree and goes and puts it into the uh
1420s	the UI and then we start
1425s	testing a short
1430s	version all
1434s	right PA passives are a little less all
1438s	at once just
1440s	because uh like everyone has them
1442s	already like everyone's got a full
1443s	passive tree so so like sometimes if
1446s	we're like overhauling a passive tree
1447s	will come in and say like okay what
1449s	things is this what tools have we
1451s	developed in the game to use since this
1454s	tree was last majorly overhauled like
1456s	putting in uh threshold nodes where's a
1457s	good threshold node are there any
1459s	threshold nodes
1460s	[Music]
1462s	here does l need a bunch of threshold
1465s	nodes
1469s	Lich needs threshold nodes here's a
1470s	great example so we would come in here
1471s	and we would say uh Hey Lich needs
1473s	threshold nodes and we'll we'll like
1475s	start to see like hey where can we like
1478s	put threshold nodes in Lich nicely I
1480s	seem remember doing this already weird
1485s	um and and like figure out if there's
1488s	new abilities that have shown up since
1490s	then that need more synergies and uh
1492s	this is sometimes where we look at
1494s	underperforming archetypes for the
1496s	class um and and try and pepper in some
1500s	new nodes for things like that
1503s	[Music]
1508s	yeah hi Mike happy Friday looking good
1511s	thank you Mr bble thank you very
1514s	much set items
1520s	n why does part of lethal con uh
1523s	concentration poison minion spear work
1526s	with falconry but didn't get a rogue
1528s	melee attack attack added for the Jade
1530s	dust part uh balance or oversight it was
1534s	um like it's more of
1536s	a it's it's not really designed
1539s	specifically
1540s	for rogue to use I don't
1543s	think like it kind of
1552s	works it's it's I would call it an off
1555s	class
1556s	weapon uh during the interview with ja
1559s	and DM you did say there's a new skill
1560s	for Lich in active development so you
1562s	could leak that again ah you got
1566s	me
1571s	um yeah I guess there
1578s	is well there you go cuz yeah there's
1582s	missing it's good just just push push
1585s	it's not budging
1594s	[Music]
1601s	I recently saw a suggestion from someone
1602s	to to to move these like into the tree
1604s	itself where you actually have to take
1605s	points for them I really like that
1609s	idea like keyn noes that have like the
1612s	skill and like some bonus that goes with
1614s	the skill
1631s	all right more
1632s	questions what are you most excited
1634s	about in the 1.3 cycle so it'll be
1636s	season 3 uh then which which we're in
1640s	we're in season 1 right now so you're
1641s	talking about season
1643s	3
1644s	uh the new content certain items May
1648s	bounc anything else I mean it's so far
1650s	out that I can't talk about I think
1651s	you're probably asking about season 2
1653s	which will be patch
1654s	1.2
1657s	um and in that one personally uh I mean
1660s	the updates we're doing to endgame is is
1662s	what I'm most excited about it's going
1663s	to be
1667s	great yeah the the new in game
1672s	content the new I mean like really what
1674s	it is it's the new tech behind the new
1676s	content that I'm most excited about cuz
1678s	it's like
1679s	so many more
1693s	possibilities will not take
1699s	me all
1703s	right uh when a new game or expansion is
1706s	released and one class is super broken
1708s	and bugged but people like the power how
1710s	would you balance player feedback versus
1711s	overall game Health yeah I mean that's
1714s	that is you've identified the hardest
1716s	part about balancing a live game um and
1719s	something that we've struggled with
1720s	quite heavily and something that is
1722s	extremely hotly debated every single
1725s	time it happens um personally I'm on the
1728s	side of just Nerf it like if it was
1730s	strictly up to me for me making my own
1732s	game for myself and no one else mattered
1734s	whatsoever they'd be insta nerfed it
1736s	would just be like I Nerf deal with it I
1738s	don't care um
1742s	but I'm not quite so impulsive and
1746s	self-centered that I do know we're
1748s	making this game for more than just me
1750s	um and so we don't do
1754s	that um I cuz because you have
1757s	to you have to balance the investment
1760s	people have made into those characters
1762s	already um and and there's there's a
1765s	really bad there's kind of two bad
1767s	feelings working against each other
1769s	and trying to mitigate which bad feeling
1771s	is the worst is is is really difficult
1775s	to do and not have someone feel bad
1776s	still in the end
1781s	um and I think I think it comes down
1787s	to I I don't I don't know the I don't
1789s	know the best the right answer here at
1791s	all
1792s	[Music]
1794s	um cuz it's it's something that we're
1796s	still kind of experimenting with I think
1797s	and I think it also depends a lot on the
1799s	situation and how it happens um if the
1802s	character is like fun to play that's
1804s	broken overpowered I think it makes it a
1806s	lot easier to leave it
1810s	alone so an example of a character that
1812s	would not be fun to play that's crazy
1815s	broken overpower that we probably would
1816s	do something
1818s	about is a character that had a like a
1821s	really obnoxious and unfun play pattern
1823s	so
1824s	like you you you spawn into an echo and
1827s	you have to SP spend like 30 seconds
1830s	casting a very specific sequ of sequence
1833s	of
1833s	abilities okay let's let's do this
1835s	properly
1840s	um oh cop starting um and you have do a
1843s	very like so you spawn into an echo and
1845s	you have to press a very specific
1846s	sequence of abilities on cool down
1848s	switch out your gear press another
1849s	specific sequences on cool down switch
1851s	out your gear again and then you press
1853s	one more button and you just kill
1855s	everything in the entire Echo and you
1857s	and you portal out and like it's the
1859s	most powerful build in the possible game
1862s	and you know like it beats every Echo no
1864s	problem uh you can beat any boss you
1867s	want you just got to like sit there for
1868s	a couple minutes before every single run
1870s	and it's just boring like that sounds
1873s	awful you don't want that in the
1877s	game uh so it's it's trick let's just
1880s	put this put this in with some fun we
1883s	know there's nothing else really in here
1884s	I could do this but
1887s	yeah oh here's the weapon you were just
1889s	talking
1893s	about oh yeah it does mention Falcon
1896s	actually my goodness I was wrong oh
1905s	my I think it's because the plus one to
1907s	throwing minion skills is
1911s	the uh is is the is the instead of
1914s	harvest thing there cuz throwing minion
1917s	skills isn't a thing on
1918s	Necromancer really at
1925s	all skeleton roads
1929s	throw poison I don't think
1940s	so poison V poison we don't do much
1943s	poison
1946s	actually do a little bit you will
1950s	perish eventually but not
1969s	today uh if you could add any skill SL
1973s	skill tree without taking bounce into
1975s	consideration what would you add
1978s	oh without taking balance into
1982s	consideration I mean this is this is
1983s	hard because like I've kind of had this
1987s	freedom for a couple years so like the
1989s	skills that are I'm like this has got to
1991s	be in the game are kind of in the game
1997s	um what do I want what do I want that's
1999s	not in the game
2002s	yet I
2004s	want uh I want I want more bow skills on
2008s	other classes if I could add anything I
2010s	would add
2012s	a um I would add a
2018s	bow h i I would add a bow compatible
2021s	skill
2022s	in Beast
2024s	Master and second choice may surprise
2026s	you it's
2029s	Mage mostly just cuz I'm such a D2
2031s	fanboy
2042s	and like to play terrible
2057s	builds any fun plans for Halloween no
2060s	well I mean yeah we were um I've I got a
2063s	little one so we're going to we're going
2064s	to take him out to uh go trick-
2067s	or-treating with his
2069s	uh with with some friends
2075s	and not not much else it's Halloween's
2078s	pretty uh pretty scary for him
2083s	still we're like just barely I think oh
2087s	we'll see we'll see what happens this
2088s	year but I think this year is going to
2089s	be the first year that he like really
2090s	gets into
2093s	it we made the mistake of buying his
2096s	Halloween costume way too early
2099s	like a full he got crazy into
2103s	Pokemon and uh so he like saw a full
2107s	bodysuit Pikachu outfit like early in
2110s	like a month or two ago even like when
2111s	they first were showing up and he's like
2113s	I have to have it and now Halloween's
2116s	getting close and he's like I want to be
2117s	this I want to be this we're like you
2118s	already have a
2124s	costume do not take me
2134s	all
2137s	right will there ever be any twitch
2139s	integration with the game asking for
2141s	Aaron since he was likely stuck in a
2143s	subathon I think he's here
2152s	um uh yes I it's it's one of those like
2156s	it's on the list we'd really like to
2160s	um it's not uh it's not something I
2163s	don't think it's something that's in
2164s	active development right now but um I
2166s	think there's some prep stuff being done
2168s	so yeah based on her costume can we
2171s	expect a ladybird a ladybug skill in the
2174s	game look at this be skill after your
2176s	last costume I don't I
2178s	don't
2180s	ah I'd love to ladybugs are really cool
2183s	actually so if you don't know this about
2184s	ladybugs uh you can use them as like
2187s	natural p pesticides
2189s	basically um for for plants so there's
2193s	like certain uh certain things that can
2195s	like get into your garden and if you
2196s	like introduce ladybugs to your garden
2199s	It'll like get rid of those things
2201s	they're pretty cool ladybugs are like
2203s	crazy poisonous or crazy toxic I don't
2205s	know what the term is but
2207s	um
2209s	yeah there's cool stuff about ladybugs I
2212s	I know almost none of it and uh if
2214s	you're interested in ladybugs at
2216s	all go go go do some research cuz
2219s	they're pretty
2226s	cool
2230s	Eep I don't know why I ran out of that
2233s	really I can't really die in this
2240s	form Chunk in here
2257s	nah oh capped
2262s	it chunks are Health pretty quick when
2264s	we do
2269s	that you me cycle 1.2 ah yes sorry I
2273s	think I answered anyways
2274s	then do you guys in the office bet on
2278s	which build item class is going to be
2279s	the most popular before new release no I
2282s	I think sometimes there's there's like
2283s	if there's some uh disagreements on if
2289s	something's going to be overpowered or
2290s	not someone will be like I think it's
2292s	going to be overpowered someone else be
2293s	like I
2295s	don't and we're like we'll see what
2298s	happens it's about as intense as it
2305s	gets uh if you get the skeleton Rogue to
2308s	throw acid flask counts as a minion
2309s	throwing skill
2312s	interesting uh any plans on improving
2315s	minion survivability such as uh tweaking
2317s	the damage they take from certain boss
2319s	abilities they already do have big
2320s	defense to a lot of Boss abilities for
2323s	example in Poe your minions won't get
2324s	killed by Cyrus meteor or storms but in
2327s	La you get into ja or aboth there's a
2329s	bunch of stuff that kills your Minions
2330s	that you can't do anything about
2334s	um yeah there's probably some situations
2337s	that need adding to the list uh we do
2339s	already some stuff like
2343s	that uh Mike what will you address as on
2346s	the 31st the prime list I mean I'm I'm
2348s	like I think I got to wait till next
2350s	year till I'm in shape to dress as the
2351s	prime list you know I'm getting there
2353s	I'm on my
2357s	way but the guns the guns got some work
2360s	to do on them still
2362s	first are you serious you're really
2364s	going to give me rhyme Giants
2369s	of course you are cuz you know how good
2372s	I am at dealing with them your death has
2375s	come Le I should be cuz I flip and die
2378s	to them all the
2385s	time all
2389s	right is there any party styled content
2392s	in any way in the on on the way I no we
2395s	don't have any party specific content on
2398s	the way um one of the things we we kind
2400s	of try and do is is we try to make sure
2401s	that there is um like that the content
2404s	is uh possible and fun to do solo sort
2408s	of the like if if it's going to the game
2410s	it's kind of got to be good for solo
2416s	um I I'd really like to see us um put
2421s	some more things in the game for group
2423s	play and this is something that I've
2424s	talked about in the past a lot um but
2427s	things like
2428s	uh this this is kind of an example of
2431s	something I wish only happened in
2432s	multiplayer uh but can happen solo is in
2435s	in Diablo 2 surprised there's my example
2438s	uh Diablo would um create a bone prison
2442s	around you and lock you in place and
2444s	then use his lightning pose and nuke
2448s	you um it's a sweet mechanic if you've
2451s	got someone else there to like break you
2453s	out like it it locks one person in place
2456s	uh and targets a second person and the
2458s	third person's got time to break you out
2459s	it creates this like this cool Dynamic
2461s	and and coordinator teams are like oh he
2463s	locked me he's like oh I'm coming to
2465s	rescue you he's always on me like like
2467s	you know like that type of coordination
2469s	and gameplay I think is really fun and
2471s	interesting and cool but uh doesn't
2473s	really work solo um so I'd love to see
2476s	us start doing like extra mechanics in
2478s	multiplayer that are um like f fun to
2482s	play with
2502s	are there any plans for more be stuff I
2504s	feel like uh bees Master is just sort of
2507s	uh just short of being viable yeah it is
2509s	like it's just barely short of being
2512s	viable um there's there's a couple
2514s	things we we came really close to adding
2516s	uh like just before we just continued
2518s	making set items we like we're going to
2520s	make a b set item um and then we're like
2524s	all right we're not making B not set for
2526s	a while uh yeah I think there's there's
2529s	there's room for more be themed stuff
2531s	maybe it's not specifically in uh items
2534s	maybe it's in other places but
2538s	yeah close my door
2549s	getting a little
2555s	chilly so you're saying we're not
2557s	getting a ladybug primalist I I mean I'd
2560s	love to see it as like a like a skill
2562s	ntx for bees convert them all ladybugs
2565s	that would be
2567s	sweet all right the uh the other day I
2571s	was I was after one lizard and that
2572s	lizard spawned uh spammed another four
2575s	to five lizards is that normal or is it
2577s	a bug it is is normal um maybe not
2580s	expected or normal but it is um working
2584s	as intended the uh every time you defeat
2588s	a uh a lizard and it it scurries away it
2591s	has a chance to uh cause a similar
2595s	lizard to pop up in its
2599s	place and that can happen up to I think
2601s	five times per
2604s	disappearance so yeah I think one
2606s	turning into five is possible and those
2608s	five could I think theoretically turned
2610s	into
2611s	25 like it it's it's a low odds thing to
2614s	happen so chaining more than a couple
2616s	times is almost never going to happen
2618s	and when you get that many some of them
2620s	are going to get
2622s	away but it can go kind of
2631s	nuts you got a lizard named mouse and a
2633s	lizard suit yeah that's one of my
2634s	favorites it was it was a redit post of
2635s	people sharing names they'd found
2636s	recently there some good
2639s	ones there there's a pattern if you find
2641s	enough of them you'll find a few
2653s	patterns have you implemented all the
2655s	player created uniques yet no I'm
2657s	actually working on one right now
2660s	um if you're the person waiting for me
2662s	to get back to you with options on a
2665s	unique uh that might go really well with
2667s	this build that I'm playing right now uh
2671s	I'm playing this build specifically to
2672s	get ideas for that unique right
2681s	now uh and if you're the other person
2683s	waiting for me to come back with a uh
2686s	prototype for a
2692s	build I've got a couple that I've I've
2694s	got ready but I'm I want a few more
2697s	before I bring it to you I don't think
2699s	either of them are watching so it's not
2700s	a big deal but yes we're still working
2702s	on uh supporter
2708s	uniques they're tough they're really
2710s	tough to do I
2716s	uh I find myself putting things that I
2720s	want in them sometimes and I have to
2722s	stop and like really go back to look at
2725s	what the cuz we we sent out a
2727s	questionnaire with like um like a few
2729s	categories um where it's like uh sort of
2732s	like a if you could have it do literally
2734s	anything like no restriction sort of the
2737s	like you make a broken thing do whatever
2738s	you want like what would it be and
2739s	people put like horribly broken things
2741s	in there and you're like yeah cool you
2742s	get the idea what you're like what
2743s	you're after and you try and like sculpt
2745s	something from there um like if it can
2747s	only do one thing like what's the most
2749s	important thing and there's like um
2751s	there's other like themes that you want
2753s	to work in and and there's there's a
2754s	whole bunch of questions that go with it
2755s	but
2758s	uh I I have to go back to those
2760s	documents really frequently to like put
2762s	myself in the person's shoes who's uh
2765s	who who Who's who's getting this made
2767s	because so often I'll look at it and be
2769s	like oh this is totally what I would do
2771s	here but I'm not making it for me I'm
2773s	making it for them um so it's a little I
2775s	find a little tricky but I do my best
2792s	that was
2796s	close still reperformance not that close
2799s	I guess but
2804s	still uh any plans for themed battle
2807s	pass battle pass is one of those things
2810s	that's uh it's kind of a weird weird
2813s	topic um we we don't have any plans for
2815s	battle pass um I think there's and and
2818s	this this came up last time we were
2819s	getting close to a
2821s	cycle sorry a new season I need to start
2824s	using the proper term we season now we
2826s	don't cycle
2828s	um so last time we were getting close to
2830s	a new season we uh you get a bunch of
2833s	questions about battle passes and things
2834s	like that it's kind of just I think
2836s	going to happen every time now and which
2839s	is fine not think it's a bad thing and I
2842s	think there's I think there's a way to
2843s	do battle passes really positively um I
2846s	know people who been watching for a long
2847s	time well be like yeah Mike you always
2849s	say that you never do it yeah it's I I
2852s	don't know if there's enough room in the
2856s	like uh like the the
2859s	the collective gamer head space I don't
2861s	know how to describe it for a positive
2863s	reaction to a battle pass and there are
2865s	a couple out there that have done it
2873s	um yeah I I'd like to explore that at
2876s	some point I and I it would be really
2878s	tricky to do it well and when I say well
2881s	I mean
2882s	like uh so that it's a positive
2884s	experience for the player that's what I
2886s	mean by do it
2892s	well that costume is fly as hell why
2895s	thank you very much I appreciate
2901s	it these wings are a lot bigger than
2903s	last time so I didn't have to like get
2905s	like cut them in half and like use a
2907s	piece of cardboard to tap them
2910s	together are you planning on doing any
2913s	reworking or tweaking in the faction
2915s	system in 1.2 based on what you've
2917s	learned in 1.1 yeah I I I would say
2919s	tweaking is a better term for it than
2921s	reworking
2926s	um it's really an interesting thing and
2929s	this is something that I've been um I
2931s	I've been kind of vaguely talking about
2933s	with people on like forums and Discord
2935s	and Reddit and things like that and it's
2937s	the difference it's it's the distinction
2939s	between uh endgame systems that provide
2942s	power directly um so an endgame system
2945s	that can provide power directly that's
2947s	really straightforward that I can point
2948s	to as an example is like Diablo 3
2950s	Paragon system where it's just like
2953s	every level every Paragon level you get
2956s	a point of crit and then a point of move
2959s	speed and then a point of damage and
2960s	then a point of like it's really
2962s	straightforward there's not a lot to it
2964s	it's it's just like you get a little bit
2966s	more power every single
2969s	time and the difference between a system
2972s	like uh the the faction system
2974s	specifically like circle of Fortune and
2977s	uh the bizar where you are um where
2979s	you're as you level up in the system as
2982s	you rank up in the system farther what
2984s	you're actually getting out of it is
2987s	more efficiency at finding player
2989s	power and I think the distinction
2991s	between getting efficiency at finding
2993s	player power and actual player power
2995s	creates a
2997s	uh a different expectation on players on
2999s	if they're going to complete the system
3001s	or not and how fast they're going to
3003s	complete the
3015s	system and I don't know what
3020s	the
3021s	uh I don't know what the right thing to
3023s	do is with that that makes any sense
3030s	all right how far along would you say
3032s	you are at looking at things that you
3034s	want to have in the game before you
3035s	start doing purely seasonal
3038s	content um I mean there's
3043s	there's that's that's a tough one
3044s	because I think there's the the campaign
3046s	is going to be a little while before it
3047s	actually like before we're like okay the
3050s	camp like here's the end of the actual
3052s	campaign the story is complete um that
3055s	that's still
3057s	that still weighs out so I Think It's
3059s	tricky to
3064s	um I Think It's tricky to put a timeline
3066s	on the whole thing just because I that's
3067s	going to be the one that the outlier
3069s	that that makes that go long for it's
3070s	purely into seasonal stuff
3084s	um yeah
3092s	and I mean like there's always going to
3093s	be stuff that like sticks around season
3095s	to season so it's
3098s	it's like what's purely seasonal right I
3101s	don't
3104s	know we got a while a while
3113s	still just wanted to make a PSA I'll
3116s	read it first right now that's
3126s	it okay I I'll I'll say this but I'm
3129s	going to say it with with an asterisk so
3131s	I've
3132s	seen conflicting reports of the effect
3136s	of cry utilities good or bad with
3139s	regards to playing last EAC on Steam
3141s	deck so I would I would probably try it
3143s	out for yourself before doing it but we
3145s	do have here's a report of someone
3148s	saying that the with Steam OS update cry
3150s	utility is no longer helpful reverting
3152s	to stock settings and the stock 1GB uh
3156s	buffer results in more stable
3157s	performance also the OS update reverts
3159s	your under bolts cool well thanks for
3161s	the thanks for the info uh you know way
3164s	more about it than I do cuz I don't have
3165s	a steam deck um it's probably great
3168s	advice I would just also put a little
3171s	like try it
3173s	yourself at home try it at home
3178s	reverting stuff to stock is very safe so
3180s	I'm not concerned about
3183s	that increase crit chance there we go
3187s	speaking of
3189s	crit oo got little LP going on there may
3192s	another one maybe
3194s	maybe
3202s	sickening you're
3204s	mine finished with you
3215s	you play Le great but does it count as
3217s	working time where can I sign my
3218s	employment
3220s	contract yes this does count as working
3223s	time we actually have uh two hours every
3225s	Friday reserved for everyone on the team
3227s	to play last
3229s	Epoch um because we think we should play
3231s	our game and uh if it's in your
3237s	like work
3239s	time then you do
3245s	it I mean the vast majority of us I
3247s	think play in our spare time anyways or
3249s	like we're playing before we started
3250s	working on this anyways
3253s	um and it's not like a hard mandatory
3256s	thing but you know we like to it also
3259s	it's kind of like water cooler time cuz
3261s	we don't have a fixed uh physical
3263s	location for the studio everyone's
3265s	remote
3267s	so a little more time to just like hang
3268s	out and have some fun and play games
3270s	together is really really
3273s	good but I miss it every week cuz it
3275s	happens literally exactly the same time
3278s	as my
3279s	stream so here I get my two hours here I
3281s	SP I spend it all with You Beautiful
3285s	People all right I feel it needs
3287s	something like it but like you said done
3289s	in a proper way I assume this is about
3292s	the
3294s	um uh
3298s	the um battle pass is probably what this
3300s	is
3303s	about
3306s	it try to get a fancy with like a Dodge
3309s	and a reap and reaps on cool down CU
3312s	transplanted Grumble Grumble
3317s	Grumble is it possible that in the
3318s	future there will be a unique that makes
3320s	war path Echo follow the player ah
3325s	having the move is is
3330s	uh uh something we tried to do
3333s	originally
3335s	and it doesn't work so well I know it
3339s	sounds
3345s	ridiculous favorite builds nobody plays
3347s	something stupid Jank that's fun
3353s	um I mean I do I really like I do like
3356s	offsp speec build where it's like well
3357s	that shouldn't work but lots of times
3359s	they do work cuz so many of us on the
3361s	team like them that we we put little
3362s	things in to make them
3365s	work they work too well uh see melee
3371s	da
3375s	um I like um
3379s	meteor meteor
3382s	bear using uh using using the belt
3385s	that's my I think that's my favorite one
3387s	I don't think anyone plays that really
3388s	much
3394s	anymore yeah please don't forget to put
3396s	at last OT game in the question if you'd
3398s	like me to answer it I think I may have
3400s	skipped a couple not
3404s	intentionally
3412s	impossible ooh
3415s	lizard come here
3421s	lizard yes you cannot Escape me
3431s	lizard I
3441s	mean donate that
3447s	I don't hate that at
3458s	all if we could like seal this ell
3465s	res no just going to Nuke the uh forging
3469s	potential on this that hurt a lot -22
3474s	oh not worth
3478s	I think it might still be an upgrade
3487s	though is there Fizz res okay yeah
3490s	perfect
3492s	75
3500s	calculated do some classes get more
3503s	skills in the future as an example I
3505s	would like to make a Marksman but when I
3507s	see that it has four skills less than
3509s	the Mage I have I lose all interest
3511s	because less skills equals less build
3512s	Variety in my opinion uh I think I I I
3517s	don't think that less skills necessarily
3519s	directly means less build variety I
3520s	think that you'll find there's um
3523s	certain skills that individually will
3525s	carry uh carry a class and build variety
3528s	whereas um some skills will have very
3530s	little impact on build
3533s	variety um but I mean at a glance I can
3536s	see the expectation being there and uh
3539s	classes that have fewer abilities are
3542s	definitely significantly higher on the
3543s	list for new abilities we are planning
3546s	new abilities for every class still um
3549s	Mage is by far the farthest down that
3551s	list cuz it has the most abilities of
3553s	any class and Rogue is at the top of
3555s	that list cuz it has the fewest of
3557s	skills of any class you know um we we
3560s	did decide a while ago that it wasn't
3561s	mandatory for them all to have the same
3563s	number um
3566s	but I'll say this there's no mage skills
3567s	in development right now and there is um
3570s	like there are other skills for other
3572s	classes in development right now
3575s	so
3576s	[Music]
3582s	[Music]
3593s	yeah nada
3600s	probably been asked before but what is
3602s	the your favorite skill you've made I
3603s	haven't I've never made a skill like
3604s	exclusively on my own
3612s	UMO uh and I've been involved with
3616s	almost every one of
3618s	them it's kind of just like what's your
3620s	favorite skill Mike uh but skills that I
3623s	had like a heavy hand in and my
3625s	favorites I probably
3627s	say
3634s	um
3641s	uh these are so all these like favorite
3644s	questions are so tricky and I bet my
3645s	answers change week to week I
3649s	think I probably say something in in
3651s	Rogue
3653s	somewhere um
3657s	oh no it's it's going to
3659s	be uh it's really going to be flame rush
3662s	I
3665s	think this one I worked on pretty
3666s	recently that I really
3674s	enjoyed this will not take
3684s	me my ear just popped
3687s	oh that's so
3690s	nice oh I can hear
3692s	again oh there it goes never
3695s	mind just getting over a
3700s	cold it
3708s	happens there's actually some stuff in
3710s	in Rogue I really like
3713s	um I really like lethal Mirage that was
3716s	a fun one to work on I really like dive
3718s	bomb too that was a really fun one to
3720s	work on
3725s	too uh good evening question in the
3728s	inventory under the appearance tab at
3730s	the very bottom it says skills will we
3732s	finally have access to it next season uh
3735s	and if so can we get a hint of what it
3738s	is or a clue I can tell you what it
3741s	is I can't give you any details on
3744s	ETA uh is something we're working on
3747s	um so this equip skills all skills um
3750s	this is sort of a like an indicator of
3753s	sort of what's to come with regards to
3757s	Cosmetics um and so like it it kind of
3760s	says like skill Cosmetics there's no
3761s	skill Cosmetics available yet check back
3763s	soon um this is we are we are adding in
3769s	like cosmetic variants for abilities in
3773s	the game so like um
3778s	trying to like say an example that's
3779s	like but do I say an example that is
3781s	coming and say it's not coming do I say
3782s	an example that's not coming and then
3783s	people expect it is coming and then I
3785s	have to like go make it oh what do I do
3787s	so let's that's like something
3788s	ridiculous that 100% is not coming so it
3790s	turns uh meteor into a gigantic block of
3793s	cheese a wheel of cheese for example
3797s	there's we're not doing this um and it
3800s	like makes it look like cheese instead
3802s	you know so something like that um
3806s	you know some of them are puns some of
3808s	them
3809s	are uh you know Al some of are just like
3812s	cool variants um some of them are like
3815s	Elemental conversions for things that we
3817s	can't actually do the elemental
3819s	conversions for gameplay reasons but
3820s	sometimes you want a visual conversion
3822s	that is that type
3832s	um yeah it's like uh it's a skill
3836s	Cosmetics I don't really know what else
3837s	there's to say about
3843s	them uh when can we get a cooler MTX I
3846s	want to give you more money L yeah I
3848s	mean I think I think we we we have lots
3849s	of really cool MTX that comes every
3851s	patch personally but yeah we're cranking
3853s	them out still there's more
3855s	coming is there an estimate on when 1.2
3858s	will launch q1
3860s	2025 so in the first quarter of
3864s	2025 there will be
3867s	um season 2 will start and Patch 1.2
3870s	will
3877s	drop so January February March somewhere
3879s	in those three months it's all I got for
3881s	you though big window I know um we'll
3884s	try and get a a a like a smaller window
3887s	as we get closer to it um like we're
3889s	always trying to get them out as soon as
3890s	possible and we have to um we we have to
3894s	kind of take into consideration other
3896s	titles in the same genre that are having
3899s	large events and having large releases
3901s	at the same time so we like okay we got
3903s	to wait to see when this happens we know
3905s	it's coming somewhere in there we don't
3906s	know when or maybe we need to be like
3908s	okay we've got this feature that has to
3909s	get in and like it's it's like we're
3912s	working on it already and we don't know
3913s	how long it's going to take to actually
3914s	finish it we're like we we can't release
3916s	the patch without this so um we kind of
3920s	wait got to wait till we get a little
3921s	closer to the date in order to like uh
3924s	be able to more confidently say when
3925s	it's going to be ready and be have
3926s	enough time to be tested and all that
3928s	sort of stuff um we're we're doing
3930s	content lock way earlier than we've ever
3932s	done before which is so wonderful um
3935s	which means we'll have way more time to
3936s	test specific
3940s	interactions
3943s	yeah uh can you tell us how many new
3945s	runes and glyphs we can expect at 1.2 uh
3947s	not many if
3952s	any it's very rare that we had new runes
3954s	and glyphs
3957s	um and like new new runes new new very
3962s	specific heavily thought out and planned
3965s	runes and glyphs get pitched in design
3967s	meetings all the time like I'll come
3970s	with like a list of like 40 runes and
3971s	glyphs and I'm like I know one of these
3973s	is going to get in for sure we'll like
3974s	debate them for an hour and none of them
3976s	will get approved
3978s	sucks um but they're all they all get
3980s	they all get denied for very good
3981s	reasons that I've just missed
3987s	cuz it is a delicate
3992s	system just got my first Red Ring woo
3994s	congrats way to go
4000s	awesome here let's get this Shrine real
4002s	quick to start this please be something
4003s	cool it's something cool that's what I
4006s	like to
4008s	see
4011s	yeah Dash the wrong way
4014s	there didn't forget that Reaper form
4017s	starts with a reap I
4025s	swear you Ryme Giant
4050s	all right can you make black hole a
4052s	damage skill
4054s	please black
4055s	hole black hole is a tragedy of a skill
4058s	right now I wish and like in in the
4061s	weirdest way possible I wish we had not
4063s	made black hole when we did I love black
4065s	hole as a skill and I'm so excited for
4067s	the future of
4071s	it but I I wish we had been able to see
4075s	really really far into the
4077s	future and known it was a bad idea to
4080s	make when we
4082s	did cuz it has some serious problems
4084s	with some underlying systems and how
4086s	things function in the game uh and
4090s	there's a few other things that need to
4091s	happen for it to really be properly
4095s	realized um so we have some very
4098s	long-term plans for for for uh black
4101s	hole and I hope I hope they uh pan out
4105s	properly
4108s	but it's not ready
4109s	yet it's going to have to just kind of
4111s	sit there as this weird redheaded
4114s	stepchild
4115s	of uh a terrible
4119s	term uh from from
4129s	like it's going to just have to wait
4131s	unfortunately
4139s	impossible all
4150s	right I'm sorry don't I said that that
4152s	was
4154s	dumb all right moving on would you add a
4157s	setting to make characters not keep
4159s	saying their catchphrases or at least
4161s	reduce their frequency it can be
4162s	annoying I believe we have that don't we
4166s	um you oh it's just the error voice
4168s	lines not the cat phrases yeah I I know
4169s	we're we're talking about adding some
4170s	more settings there right now so
4175s	yeah I know it's a joke but would
4177s	eagerly pay money or cheese media for
4179s	cheese medeor
4182s	yeah I knew what I was
4192s	saying uh right more passive
4198s	his Mike's a bit of an idiot sometimes
4200s	and he doesn't remember
4203s	things more in
4207s	here yeah seems pretty
4212s	sweet is this better this is
4215s	better give me that flat damage crit
4218s	multi ooh that would be good to take two
4219s	right
4224s	now I was I find it so funny when we
4226s	have icons that are upside
4227s	down uh and sometimes like the actual
4231s	transform in game is just flipped for
4233s	that icon
4238s	um like sometimes you'll like replace it
4240s	and then the new one that replaces it
4241s	cuz you replace the Sprite but the
4242s	transform doesn't change it like flips
4244s	it as well it's
4246s	weird I probably should be putting
4247s	points here and here that's a lot of
4250s	damage seeing a lot of damage actually
4252s	right there it's just these three
4262s	will there ever be a chef class in
4266s	Le
4269s	uh I don't want to say flat no to things
4272s	like that because I
4274s	mean Final Fantasy 9 is one of my
4276s	favorite
4277s	games uh and I know don't know how to
4280s	pronounce the name I'm sorry qu Kina I
4283s	it's one of those two I think might be
4284s	something else uh the blue Mage in Final
4287s	Fantasy 9 was my favorite character to
4289s	play and he's basically just a chef like
4291s	his his special ability is like cook and
4293s	eat like those are special abilities and
4296s	so I'd love to do something like that I
4298s	don't know if it fits super duper
4303s	great I think it feels to me like
4305s	there's a handful of things that would
4307s	be just like Auto includes first
4319s	what the Precedence
4322s	there uh and and then we could have the
4325s	cheesier cheer cheese chees deer cheer
4328s	cheesier there's there there's there's a
4329s	pun name in there somewhere
4333s	uh
4334s	bartier Breer Breer oh Breer you got it
4340s	yeah well done took me a minute to get
4343s	there I don't actually like I don't
4345s	actually chees so
4347s	uh took me a minute to to recognize Bri
4350s	as a
4354s	word uh will there be a gun class
4357s	planned out I it's it's unlikely to see
4359s	a gun class anytime soon at all it's not
4361s	completely off the table but it's a um a
4365s	very
4368s	distant uh chance right now it's it's
4371s	one of those things that there's just so
4372s	many options
4378s	did that way too
4380s	early there's a lot of things that fit
4383s	much more
4386s	cleanly um like there's there's room
4390s	for I think a lot of classes to have a
4392s	bow for example um there's I think less
4396s	room for as many classes to have a
4398s	smooth like transition to having
4402s	a a gun as as thematically appropriate
4409s	[Applause]
4410s	this one takes forever to drop
4412s	items just nothing good there
4426s	yeah are ladybugs coming to the game I
4429s	mean I I don't know um I don't think
4432s	there's any specific plans for them this
4433s	is because I couldn't find a b cost in 1
4440s	hour and I like
4443s	red and I like ladybugs too pretty cool
4446s	uh any updates on the merch store none
4450s	yet um do desperately want one though
4453s	I've been wearing my hat lately actually
4455s	it's been cool I I um my head got
4460s	smaller I I I I swear my head
4463s	shrunk um
4466s	and like when I lost a bunch of weight
4467s	at my head trunk and I I hats fit me
4470s	better now all of a
4475s	sudden I hated hats growing
4480s	up all right
4503s	oh I spent 4 days ripping up my driveway
4507s	inside of my house oh putting in a
4510s	section of new drain tiles or PVC pipes
4514s	to replace the drain tiles that were
4515s	there and like my whole torso is just
4519s	kind of seizing right
4523s	now okay
4534s	mof boy I'm not used to digging for 4
4540s	days shovels are hard
4546s	work all right Mike will the epoch
4548s	itself ever become a usable in-game
4550s	option like a cheat death mechanic um
4554s	kind of like I I we've
4557s	we've talked about things tying into
4560s	similar mechanics to like
4562s	um uh if you ever played Prince of
4564s	Persia like Sans of time the like I
4567s	played on GameCube I think originally
4570s	even like like original Xbox PS2
4573s	era it might be one gen one gen off
4578s	there but that game was had a really
4582s	awesome time reversal mechanic that that
4584s	was like you could kind of you could
4585s	turn back time a little bit and it would
4590s	uh you can only do it like so many times
4593s	it would like reverse the simulation
4595s	fully we don't have a fully
4598s	deterministic
4601s	simulation uh that's like reversible
4603s	with like a log system and everything um
4607s	so it would it would take a lot to adapt
4609s	it to work the same way and which is why
4611s	we kind of scrapped it um
4618s	but things like that are pretty cool I
4619s	don't know I'd love to see something
4620s	like
4629s	that guys are trying real hard to burn
4632s	me don't you know I'm
4638s	fireproof can't can't burn
4640s	this will not take
4645s	can
4649s	I hello what about cosmetic rewards the
4652s	top 50 Arena players and first three of
4654s	them even greater ones it would motivate
4657s	players to play Le even more and longer
4658s	yeah I love the idea of doing this um we
4660s	we've talked about some things uh
4662s	relating to this I think there's there's
4663s	a lot of room for um for system here I
4668s	I'd really like to see the system be
4670s	like a pointbase
4672s	system um kind of like a
4676s	uh like a special coin like a a platinum
4679s	instead of like a you know thing but
4681s	except it's the opposite of what
4682s	Platinum usually is in in mobile games
4684s	where it's only earnable in game and you
4686s	can't pay for it
4690s	um and have it unlocks different uh
4692s	Cosmetics I think that's the style I'd
4694s	like to see where if you're like you're
4696s	someone who's like I've come 10th every
4698s	single season since it started you're
4700s	like and I've slowly earned enough to
4702s	get the biggest things cuz I think that
4704s	achievement
4706s	kind of similar to being like I came
4708s	second this one time you know and having
4710s	like uh like or I came first this one
4712s	time a single top tier achievement is
4715s	kind of similar to a a string of very
4719s	good achievements I think and I I'd like
4720s	to find a way to represent that as well
4733s	[Music]
4740s	uh what is your view on destructive
4743s	elements in the environment uh that can
4745s	affect both the player and the enemy for
4748s	example explosive barrels love them
4750s	absolutely love them I think the enemy
4753s	should be too dumb to interact with them
4755s	in any way I think it gives players a
4758s	new way to interact the environment and
4760s	strategize with their surroundings that
4761s	changes so that if you're fighting a
4763s	pack of skeletons with a barrel and pack
4765s	of skelets without a barrel you can
4767s	change your strategy on the fly to be
4769s	more efficient I love things like that I
4771s	would big two thumbs up for
4780s	me uh I I think
4783s	there's uh Poss there's certain
4785s	situations where it can be a little too
4787s	extreme and having it be like a oh you
4792s	shouldn't have run into these barrels
4794s	and you popped one of them and like they
4798s	okay here's an example here's something
4800s	here's something I don't like about Dia
4801s	2 the very rare instances of things that
4803s	I don't like about Dia 2 cuz it almost
4805s	never comes up cuz I love that game um
4808s	the barrels the the normal Barrels in to
4811s	that are like just this wooden barrel
4813s	that you're like could be could be
4814s	nothing and like you break it and most
4816s	of the time it's just like some gold
4817s	drops out or literally nothing happens
4819s	but every once in a while it's like it's
4820s	an explosion it hurts you for a bunch
4822s	and then you get like six barrels
4824s	together and like your buddy pops one of
4826s	them and it crosses a chain reaction
4828s	they're all explosive barrels and they
4829s	all blow up and just kill you um when
4832s	you don't when you don't have a clear
4833s	indication like if the barrel is going
4835s	to explode it better be red and if that
4837s	Barrel's Brown it better never explode
4839s	you know like I think the um having that
4842s	information clear to the player is
4844s	pretty
4850s	important I'm here to tattle on MOX jet
4853s	200 who is the game director if anyone
4855s	doesn't know uh he teased us on asking
4858s	in game chat if we wanted a dragon class
4862s	curious if it's a possibility I took a
4864s	screenshot as
4865s	proof um I mean I think Jud likes
4869s	to
4871s	uh uh you know probe for uh to get
4876s	feedback on ideas he wants to pitch
4878s	sometimes um I haven't heard anything
4881s	about
4882s	this um
4886s	I I haven't heard about us developing a
4887s	dragon class or anything like that so I
4889s	I think he was probably
4892s	uh uh trying to gauge if it was
4895s	something that he could cuz like cuz Jud
4897s	Jud pictures things the same as everyone
4898s	else does um in in our design
4901s	meetings
4905s	um so I I wouldn't read too much into it
4909s	from a like oh he said it so it's coming
4911s	type from type standpoint but you never
4913s	know I mean uh things Jud wants
4916s	frequently make it pretty far in the
4918s	development
4920s	process death
4923s	has I would not be surprised if it comes
4926s	up as a topic in a design meeting very
4928s	soon but uh I have no information about
4931s	it right now
4948s	all
4953s	right uh have the final chapters of the
4956s	campaign it would be kind of weird sorry
4957s	it would be kind of weird having like
4960s	I'm just I'm just thinking about like a
4961s	dragon class so like the all the models
4965s	uh all all the like the the equipment
4966s	models wouldn't
4970s	work I don't know if that's even
4972s	possible it probably is though we
4974s	probably just have to make some
4975s	compromise and just like not have the
4976s	models work at
4981s	all me trying to figure out if we can
4982s	even do this now I think it's a cool
4984s	idea I think it's a really cool
4986s	idea would you if it's a class
4990s	though yeah I don't see why everyone has
4992s	to be the same
4998s	race now is it
5001s	like like I guess was he talking like
5003s	shiobana like a character that like
5005s	temporarily transforms into a dragon or
5008s	more like uh like a d andd like Dragon K
5011s	someone who's like half dragon lineage
5013s	or just like a straight up
5018s	dragon you got now you got me thinking
5020s	about
5030s	it I'm I'm curious now okay if if um
5034s	anyone anyone wants to share with me
5036s	what they would want the most would
5038s	would you think like of those three
5040s	options like so
5041s	shiobana um so you're you're a human
5045s	that can like turn that has like Dragon
5046s	themed abilities that can one of them is
5048s	to Temporary transform into a dragon um
5051s	kind kind of
5053s	liches uh or if you are a just a human
5057s	with like Dragon themed
5060s	abilities um so like like a like a
5062s	dragon punch and it's like a like a VFX
5064s	Dragon kind of that like Dragon Punch or
5065s	something like that um or if you're just
5067s	like a full-on dragon all the time like
5069s	just I gu basically shyana like
5071s	permanently in human form hybrid or
5073s	permanently in Dragon form which would
5075s	you which would you
5081s	like I was also going to be like I was
5083s	considering using this random Sidetrack
5085s	this this be outfit that I've also found
5088s	I tried to strap it to my shoulder like
5090s	a pauldron I'm like like a poindron this
5095s	quite
5097s	work and it was cutting off circulation
5099s	of my arm cuz the straps are is too
5101s	small so apparently my shoulder is
5102s	bigger than a small dog's
5121s	neck all right have the the final
5125s	chapters of the campaign being written
5127s	and are they waiting to be implemented
5129s	yet or they just yet to be written um
5131s	there is there the remaining chapters
5133s	are in various stages of being written
5137s	um so the next chapter is like fully
5139s	scripted I think um there's probably
5142s	like you know scripts I there's probably
5145s	touch-ups on the script that need to be
5146s	done in certain situations but um it's
5150s	like the script is very far along
5153s	the um that is too much the chapters
5158s	after that are are still like they're
5161s	probably
5163s	um highlight I I know that at least the
5166s	the high LEL points are all written um
5168s	but like individual dialogue isn't
5171s	written type thing you know like so
5172s	there's there there it's it's a gradual
5175s	process and there's lots of stages that
5176s	it goes through the overarching story
5178s	beats and like who's going to do what to
5181s	who and who's going to die and who's
5183s	going to survive and things like that
5184s	that's that's all pretty like strictly
5186s	planned out and has been for a little
5190s	while um cuz like there's it it affects
5194s	dialogue throughout the
5195s	game there's like there's hints to
5197s	things there's callbacks from things you
5199s	know like there's there's lots of stuff
5201s	you have to know beforehand before
5207s	writing I love this little mute button
5209s	on my on my
5212s	microphone hello I'm back
5215s	hopefully it doesn't make too big of
5216s	like a pop sound when I hit
5220s	it what has been especially challenging
5222s	and creating the new endgame content for
5224s	1.2 can you tell if/ how it will be
5226s	different from
5227s	monolith
5231s	um I can't really tell you much yet
5235s	there's
5239s	um I think experienced players will be
5242s	more surprised moments moment game play
5246s	than they are now
5248s	and uh there's more player
5251s	agency in exactly what you're
5255s	doing which I know those two statements
5258s	kind of conflict with each
5260s	other um but
5266s	yeah and the first one's a lot harder to
5269s	do that's the hard
5272s	part hey Mike does the ad helmet apply
5275s	endurance to Mana if you are over the
5278s	cap for example if you have 120%
5280s	endurance uh and 50% roll helmet will I
5283s	have 60% Endurance on
5286s	Mana I would have to go look that up I'm
5289s	I'm going to say probably
5297s	not let's try and take a quick look
5306s	[Music]
5326s	uh yeah I think it
5330s	will I think I think it would apply the
5333s	the percentage that is taking
5339s	preap I I'm I'm sorry I'm going to I'm
5341s	going to retract that back to I don't
5342s	know and if you'd like me to look it up
5344s	ask me and ask the devs uh in like an
5346s	hour and I'll I'll look it up for
5350s	you
5351s	sorry I think it should work
5354s	though I I just don't know when the cap
5356s	is being
5357s	applied but I I think the cap would be
5360s	applied at the Practical time that it's
5361s	being used not in the stat time cuz we
5365s	don't like to affect stats before
5367s	they're being we don't like to affect
5368s	the cap we don't like to enforce the cap
5370s	of a stat before it's being used unless
5373s	the thing that's scaling off it needs to
5375s	scale from the cap version
5378s	specifically
5379s	[Music]
5379s	[Applause]
5382s	um and I don't see a good reason to
5385s	scale it off the cap version
5387s	specifically
5396s	yeah I have to look that up
5402s	sorry oh come
5405s	on I got a few stuns in
5408s	there acolytes profane crown of the
5412s	turtle worthless anyway won't even fit
5415s	in my inventory
5416s	anyways but I want my turtle helmet
5419s	turtle turtle
5426s	and everyone who grew up in the '90s got
5427s	that
5435s	reference all right Dragon class sounds
5438s	really good I was thinking about some
5440s	shooting class with turrets bombs
5444s	Etc okay not I was thinking very melee
5457s	forever uh when using Phoenix strike it
5460s	reminds me of playing pojo from Gauntlet
5464s	Dark Legacy it's been a long time since
5466s	I've played that my
5469s	goodness that was that was The Gauntlet
5472s	Dark
5473s	Legacy was the one that came out like
5476s	GameCube Xbox PlayStation 2 era I think
5485s	and
5486s	like this this was back when you had to
5488s	like
5489s	rent like you you didn't have enough
5491s	allowance saved up to to buy the new
5494s	game so you go down to the local it was
5497s	it was it was Roger video it wasn't
5499s	Blockbuster it was Roger
5501s	video
5502s	[Music]
5510s	um I know I know it's a known bug but
5512s	gets me every time um
5516s	and and we we rented it cuz it was like
5518s	a new release we had to like rent it and
5520s	then like rerent it like where you like
5522s	return it rent it again and hope no
5523s	one's waiting for it um and then we
5525s	realized that we could like reserve it
5527s	ourselves so like there be like three of
5529s	us that and we'd like chain reserve
5532s	it uh to try to beat
5535s	it and then the guy behind the counter
5537s	figured out like y let someone else do
5538s	it and they like forced us to leave it
5540s	and like went back the next day it was
5541s	just sitting there no one else had
5542s	rented it
5545s	I don't I remember this so
5548s	clearly we're like come on just let us
5550s	Ren it no one else wants it such a good
5556s	game I just got a wave bird controller
5559s	from my GameCube love that thing it's
5562s	like the one of the first wireless
5563s	controllers for for
5567s	consoles but it was like clearly worse
5579s	what are we
5582s	doing I'm an
5591s	idiot come
5597s	on has
5602s	come thank you
5615s	more
5617s	questions so this was this was a
5618s	question I just got horribly Sidetrack
5620s	in the leadup are there any inspiration
5622s	from classic Aires hack hacking SL games
5624s	when it comes to uh redefining the
5627s	shrines uh when it came to find Shrine
5630s	specifically probably
5632s	not maybe I don't
5635s	know there's definitely a lot of
5637s	influence that comes from old school
5639s	games
5642s	um and oh the Phoenix shy I know exactly
5646s	what you're talking about now
5648s	yeah I didn't even make that connection
5651s	yes uh I I don't know if that was an
5654s	intentional reference or not but there's
5656s	a very strong connection there
5667s	I'd say it's like a 50/50 shot that was
5670s	intentional I don't know
5681s	though Nowhere to Run oh my God oh my
5688s	God D it's they're everywhere what do I
5691s	do okay get St don't let them Escape get
5693s	just keep okay
5705s	more that is too much should have
5709s	emptied the
5713s	inventory would have sent a poet
5726s	worthless anyway Good Golly Miss
5735s	Molly that's a lot of
5738s	stuff is any of it even remotely
5743s	useful not
5747s	really still fun still cool
5754s	take
5755s	it all right more
5761s	questions Dragon class confirmed going
5763s	to video
5764s	tomorrow see I know you're joking but I
5766s	also you're probably going to put in the
5767s	video tomorrow
5773s	so
5775s	helmet helmet
5785s	is the staff Oh wrong
5790s	staff Dragon Knight Mastery dragon born
5793s	Dragon
5795s	transforms do do a full class that's the
5797s	other thing like is it a full class with
5798s	three masteries
5822s	that was
5823s	[Laughter]
5827s	close all right here's a followup to
5829s	what you what he said next ah it have to
5832s	be Dragon mancer so you'd uh so you
5838s	could uh egi equip I think gear normally
5842s	without it being weird but can transform
5845s	for the exact problem that I was like
5848s	humming and haing over after I was
5849s	thinking about it for two
5852s	seconds it's almost like the two of us
5854s	hang out in similar design meetings
5856s	pretty frequently and come up against
5857s	the same problems over and over
5871s	again it's funny
5876s	deep it's okay we're pretty we're pretty
5878s	resilient to necrotic
5884s	damage why I'm not actually attacking
5886s	this thing nobody
5891s	knows why not make that the three
5893s	masteries I mean
5898s	yeah uh since you asked if first dragons
5901s	class isn't a Dron class with Spears and
5904s	jumps uh I'm a riot I me we kind of
5908s	already did the a little bit of spear
5911s	stuff with uh with Paladin is is Dron
5914s	the fourth Paladin Mastery
5921s	maybe these guys are
5924s	wandering I don't appreciate
5929s	their presumptives that they can simply
5932s	just walk away from me
5940s	how dare they abandon their Destiny of
5943s	dying to
5946s	me right like Legend of Lagoon from PS1
5950s	days
5959s	yes uh when even he brings it up at a
5963s	meeting uh when when eventually he
5965s	brings it up at a meeting you can then
5967s	tell him my chat told me a while back
5969s	about this yeah I can that happens in
5971s	Fair
5978s	P this is also your chance to catch me
5981s	up on everything that's been happening
5982s	in uh in the community this week what do
5985s	I
5989s	miss I me I pay I pay pretty close
5991s	attention
5992s	but not everything
5998s	uh legend of dragon for PS1 typo yeah I
6002s	I thought you were making like a lagon
6003s	lasty lagoon joke but I I knew what you
6011s	me it seemed
6014s	intentional all right is there any plans
6017s	for an atlas treat of sorts like Poe I
6020s	yeah so I think there's um I think I
6021s	think it' be a really cool thing to add
6023s	there's
6026s	It's tricky to add something like that
6032s	um how it says Poe has so many awesome
6036s	mechanics uh that even if you like
6039s	pretend Poe doesn't exist or you get
6041s	designers in a room that have never
6042s	played Poe and you try and like design
6044s	new Mechanics for an arpg half the time
6047s	you're like you can find a a a league in
6050s	po that it matches or it like comes real
6053s	close to matching or you're like that's
6054s	kind of a reskin version of this isn't
6056s	it you're like n crap it is um and
6060s	that's such an intrinsic system them
6062s	it's hard to do it with our own
6065s	twist
6070s	um I I think if we can if we can
6072s	Implement something like that where it
6073s	feels more last Epoch specific it would
6078s	be it would be really really really
6079s	positive thing um but it would have to
6081s	like be designed pretty ground up
6083s	specifically for last Epoch and last
6085s	Epoch mechanics and fitting in with last
6087s	Epoch systems and theming and other
6089s	stuff you know
6091s	that but that that is one of my favorite
6094s	systems in Poe so I'd love
6102s	[Music]
6109s	to I'm going to check
6111s	it let's put where where are we putting
6113s	these
6115s	points I don't want to get it wrong
6121s	here ah yes the thing I've been
6124s	lamenting this entire
6126s	time having them share a cool down and I
6128s	was available the whole
6131s	[Music]
6133s	time uh we did this we did we're doing
6136s	this we're doing
6139s	this right this just like spams it but
6142s	it's much less damage yeah still good
6144s	though I think going this way
6147s	too yeah let's do that
6153s	first
6159s	[Music]
6162s	um stepstone node that's fine
6176s	go away cold you're not wanted here
6178s	anymore you're never wanted
6182s	but hey kill
6188s	threshold I'm just like I'm just copying
6190s	a build so I'm just like just seeing
6193s	what they give
6195s	me armor
6198s	shred oh yeah Bon Merchant on kill got
6200s	to have that it's Beauty onep pointer
6205s	all right let's let's dump our
6218s	gear definitely shatter
6225s	bait can
6228s	we do
6231s	any little upgrade
6238s	much over cold res are we we're cold res
6240s	without it's even equipped let's chaos
6243s	this health regen per
6253s	second not casing that or
6257s	that
6259s	yeah give me that health
6265s	I think we want endurance fiz res I
6268s	don't think we really want Fizz res void
6270s	reses I don't think we really want void
6280s	[Music]
6281s	reses
6283s	not going fantastic here
6295s	like could be a lot
6297s	worse we're still overcapped on all our
6301s	resistances gained a little bit of
6306s	damage increase melee damage yeah we'll
6308s	take
6310s	that all attributes can we try and seal
6314s	this
6321s	okay we do have some stuff that stacks
6323s	on
6331s	poison uh what's our suffix pool looking
6337s	like let's do armor shred no not
6348s	that I mean okay that was that was a
6351s	bump to the weapon
6364s	not bad not
6380s	bad all right
6384s	check for questions while I'm while I
6385s	was gone anything
6388s	big uh what about a soldier class the
6391s	Mastery Transformer you jump into a
6393s	robot like an Avatar
6395s	movie Mastery Gunner you have some gun
6398s	arsal Mastery Marine Soldier get little
6401s	from both other Master yeah I mean
6403s	there's
6405s	um it's a a little little heavy on the
6407s	future Tech I mean I'd rather like I'd
6410s	rather change abomb into a Mech like a a
6412s	meat Mech suit you
6416s	know gigantic highlighted post you can
6419s	just put atlast hea game and I'll answer
6421s	it I really wish one of these RPGs would
6423s	come out with something like this it's
6424s	all in full cap so this is me yelling uh
6426s	say you're a barbarian and you cast
6428s	Devil's Dust whatever and you're in a
6430s	party with a sorc and the Sor cast chain
6432s	lightning the Devil's Dust picks up the
6433s	chain lightning now the dust devils
6435s	electrified stuff like that future of
6436s	Aires yeah we've we've tried to do um
6440s	almost exactly that uh it was
6443s	it was tornado the first the first
6446s	version of that that we tried was
6448s	primalist tornado and Mage
6450s	Fireball um to make a fire tornado and
6452s	that's why there is a fire tornado node
6454s	in tornado it came from this us trying
6458s	to do it and US failing to make it work
6460s	[Music]
6463s	properly um the the hard part about
6466s	there's there's two really tough things
6467s	and we've actually fixed one of them
6468s	recently because skills can now interact
6470s	with other skills when we had the uh the
6471s	Jace acceleration gate that we added to
6473s	Frost wall
6475s	um so you can we actually can have
6478s	abilities to interact with each other
6479s	now that was the first time we did that
6481s	uh properly is that if you interact with
6483s	other people's abilities so say I'm a
6484s	physical Druid uh casting tornado and
6488s	I've got like I'm pumped for Fizz damage
6490s	and then this
6494s	um this this Mage comes along and casts
6496s	Fireball at my tornado and this fire the
6498s	fireball turns it into a fire tornado um
6503s	like both players have to be specialized
6505s	into it and planned ahead that it's okay
6507s	cuz you can have some sort of like semi-
6508s	griefing happen where the Mage Nerfs the
6511s	druid's damage because it's casting
6513s	Fireball just normally not even
6514s	intentionally into the same mobs that
6516s	the tornadoes there and by turning into
6518s	a fire tornado the damage tanks cuz it's
6519s	no longer doing the right damage type or
6521s	something like that like there's there's
6522s	a lot of weird interaction issues there
6526s	um that I hope uh I hope we can fix cuz
6530s	I think that's a really cool mechanic
6531s	something we been like kind of half
6533s	working on for years
6536s	now homework for next week bring your
6538s	controller game yeah I'm working on it
6539s	sorry uh why does your game feel
6543s	lifeless I mean
6545s	ouch uh I would disagree I don't
6550s	know uh any chance for creature
6553s	collector miname uh maybe we don't have
6556s	anything planned right now uh is the is
6559s	the is there is the a revealed for today
6562s	I don't I don't don't have any uh
6564s	teasers today I'm
6566s	sorry I asked one minute before I went
6569s	live for them and no one had one pre for
6571s	me so I didn't I don't have one
6573s	sorry I should I should have asked much
6575s	earlier that's my
6577s	bad
6581s	soon uh exactly what I wanted to hear to
6584s	be honest your Tweet don't know which
6586s	one that was for
6589s	sorry hey they don't share cool down
6591s	look at that
6594s	uh the main thing I'd want in Ellie's
6596s	version of PE the main thing I'd want is
6600s	Ellie's Ellie version of Poe's atlas
6606s	tree
6608s	excep I I may have said something wrong
6610s	or miss something I don't know uh does
6612s	every area have a nemesis no every area
6615s	does not have Nemesis you'll see Nemesis
6617s	uh spawn more frequently in higher
6620s	corruption and higher level zones
6624s	um
6626s	me
6632s	the they were bothering
6634s	me
6636s	um yeah you'll see you'll see more of
6638s	them in higher corruption areas and high
6640s	level
6645s	areas
6646s	on and uh if you get kind of semi near
6652s	one of them it will uh it'll send you a
6654s	chat message being like there's one
6663s	nearby the the rewards are just too
6666s	impactful to have in every
6668s	Zone
6679s	um CH death surround
6686s	stand right in the damaging part of this
6689s	you feel your
6698s	blood your body will make an exceptional
6703s	circuit am dying
6715s	cool uh War
6722s	One highest
6729s	roll temple sanum key woohoo Mike will
6732s	you put uh in will you put in a 100 lb
6736s	bag of ice as a cold conversion shield
6739s	for
6740s	Aaron you would really like that for
6742s	Halloween
6745s	100 bag of ice as a cold conversion
6748s	Shield like like just just a a
6752s	gigantic bag of ice as the shield that
6754s	does a conversion for something else or
6756s	like a like a
6759s	cosmetic it's funny I'm not
6762s	sure dang you look amazing why thank
6765s	you uh did you have a spoil this week
6768s	already or did it already go up I don't
6770s	have one this week I'm sorry do you have
6771s	any of the art teaser from the previous
6773s	weeks you could throw up for in please
6775s	uh I mean I have the one from last
6780s	week here's one from last week it's not
6790s	new uh and then I have like some really
6794s	old
6797s	ones yeah like I've got I got that
6800s	that's an item that's in the game
6801s	already
6810s	I just one out that
6824s	boss my one shot boss
6827s	dance uh all right
6834s	uh any plans to expand item tool tip
6836s	features like adding more information
6838s	like loot filter tags to the item tool
6840s	loot filter tags ooh probably not um
6844s	maybe though like to say like which
6845s	filter it's being triggered
6848s	by the the ground tool tips have that
6851s	already so
6853s	maybe it would be awesome if a shrine
6855s	could have an icon indicating it's buff
6857s	thoughts on impling this there was some
6859s	reason we couldn't do this
6866s	there was some reason why this wasn't
6867s	put
6868s	in don't remember what it was but I do
6870s	think it would be nice to be able to
6871s	tell what the shrine is before you walk
6872s	up to
6873s	it um I think the best way to do it for
6876s	us would be
6877s	like Shrine with a like a shrine logo
6882s	with like a colored star or something
6884s	that indicates like if it's an ability
6885s	Shrine or something maybe cuz there's
6887s	there's enough of them now that having a
6889s	unique icon for each one of them might
6891s	be a little B overwhelming
6896s	I'll go the other
6900s	side um by Le version of pe's Atlas tree
6904s	I mean being able to focus on one
6906s	specific mechanic let's say I wanted to
6908s	farm exiled Mages I can make them spawn
6911s	more often or make them spawn more items
6913s	I see what you mean yeah it's
6915s	kind
6918s	yeah uh do you have like and tier list
6923s	or stats which builds that is working
6926s	good and we all know Nerfs to build
6929s	doesn't feel good do you have plans for
6932s	1.2 to bring other build up in power
6935s	levels to even out the powers level
6938s	sorry for bad English grm it's okay I
6939s	will try and figure out what it says
6943s	uh I think I think the answer is
6945s	basically
6946s	no but we do have like we we don't we
6950s	don't have we don't have a a tier list
6952s	of power levels for things that we go
6954s	off of that we we specifically balance
6955s	from or anything like that
6962s	um uh but we do have like every major
6966s	patch comes with major balance changes
6968s	so we will be making major balance
6970s	changes to the game when when season two
6972s	starts and 1 Point patch 1.2 drops
6977s	yeah so nice be able to say season 1
6980s	point or season 2 and Patch one point to
6983s	and have them line
6988s	up uh also it would be cool if you could
6991s	have an item to change Echo reward into
6993s	something
6994s	else
6998s	uh yes that would be
7005s	cool uh I did 100 lb of ice ice bath for
7009s	a subathon it was terrible oh I missed
7012s	that
7020s	oh I found the shield I was looking for
7022s	this last cycle last
7029s	season
7034s	H I got to make that Paladin
7038s	again no Paladin Paladin's next season
7053s	meaning all
7055s	[Music]
7056s	right i' I've sat in a few ice B there
7059s	they are
7062s	terrible
7064s	solders attack bring them
7080s	[Applause]
7084s	terrible uh we're doing this one I get
7087s	one point in all the things that I'm
7088s	putting stuff in I just be like just
7090s	build the ones I've got points
7093s	in this might be scrpt but here goes
7095s	since you talked about this earlier Rune
7097s	of the Void 25% chance of an exalted AIX
7101s	to not be to not be slammed on a
7108s	unique what for example you have a 3 LP
7111s	item and exalt you don't want physical
7114s	pens so just having a 3 LP feel more
7116s	rewarding and less punishing when you
7120s	Breck a 3
7122s	LP I I understand that was really close
7124s	to Dy that it was not in ledge form I
7127s	understand what you're going what you're
7127s	suggesting here um and I think that the
7130s	feedback you're trying to communicate
7132s	and I could be totally wrong with but
7133s	here's what I'm hearing from you is uh
7137s	when you uh have saved up enough for a 3
7141s	LP version of the item you want to make
7143s	and it's right at the top end of what
7146s	you can afford or it's extremely rare in
7147s	your CF and you found something you've
7148s	been looking for for a long time and
7150s	you've uh you've got a very expensive um
7154s	exalted item with a lot of stats you
7156s	want and there's a that 3L but the the
7160s	the most important there's there's a
7161s	huge power differential between the one
7165s	primary stat you're looking
7167s	for and the other three stats to the
7169s	point where having a one LP version of
7172s	the item with the one stat you want is
7174s	actually a better item than a three LP
7176s	version of the item with three stats you
7178s	don't want on it like your your your
7180s	second through fourth pick for stats is
7183s	is worse than just the first pick for
7186s	stats cuz the build relies on stacking
7188s	ones that so hot and having a 3 LP item
7192s	in that situ situation while it does
7194s	triple the odds of getting that having
7196s	the that one and four chance to fail
7199s	having that fail feels really bad and
7201s	25% is high enough that it happens often
7203s	enough that confirmation bias seeps in
7207s	and it feels like it's happening way
7208s	more than
7209s	25% um and because it happens so
7211s	infrequently there can be high variances
7213s	like because the opportunity Rises so
7215s	infrequently there can be a high
7217s	variance and there's no large number of
7219s	attempts for it to balance out over on
7221s	so you could have two three failures in
7223s	a row and it not actually be that bad of
7227s	uh like that unheard of a luck and when
7230s	you when you look at that situ step back
7232s	and look at it it feels really bad as a
7234s	whole each individual one feels bad and
7235s	the whole situation as a whole feels
7238s	bad um and so you're looking for a way
7241s	to uh make interacting with 3 LP items
7246s	have less of a be able to invest more um
7250s	currency up front into a 3 LP item to
7252s	increase your odds of getting at least
7254s	the one outcome you want out of that
7256s	maybe not the entire perfect outcome but
7258s	at least not the fail State outcome
7264s	um that that's that's generally the
7267s	feedback I've been interpreting from the
7270s	community recently on the on the topic
7272s	and please tell me if I'm way off start
7274s	spamming me be like Mike you're an idiot
7275s	that's not what we meant at all
7277s	um but I think there's I I I so so I
7281s	think the suggestion you bring up is a
7282s	valid suggestion but I think there's
7284s	better ways to fix the problem I just
7286s	described which I think is the problem
7288s	you're talking
7291s	about not that we've talked about this
7293s	internally at all at extreme length or
7304s	anything did you fix the search on
7306s	Merchant skill we've added some stuff to
7308s	it there's more stuff we're adding still
7314s	I lost all my life savings in the gold
7316s	dup of 2024 I'm now sleeping on Aaron's
7319s	couch but he won't stop sunbathing any
7323s	R oh subathon not sunbathing oh my
7328s	god oh
7336s	Mike I mean I bet I bet Aaron has a
7338s	comfy couch
7342s	I feel like that's an active household
7343s	in the morning probably get woken up
7345s	real
7363s	early and I'm going to pretend it was
7370s	sunbathing so you just got to you got to
7372s	like put on some soothing music so he
7374s	falls
7376s	asleep and gets like so burnt that he
7379s	has to stop
7386s	sunbathing it's actually sunburns are
7388s	dangerous don't intentionally give
7389s	people sunburns they're
7396s	bad all
7399s	right is we're over time what's going
7404s	on youall know we've hit time and you
7407s	sto spamming me with questions and I've
7408s	caught up and you're just a wonderful
7411s	chat that's all this is It's just
7413s	wonderful um so I'm going to finish up a
7415s	couple questions here is there any
7417s	updates coming to warlock uh not that
7419s	there's anything wrong with the class I
7421s	just love it so much um I mean yeah
7423s	there so there's we're probably looking
7425s	a little more abroad from warlock at at
7429s	primary targets for uh new toys
7432s	but um because Lich is probably on that
7435s	list uh it'll it'll get some like at
7438s	least
7440s	incidental uh stuff probably just just
7442s	by the nature of being in the same Base
7445s	Class and you know there's there's stuff
7447s	that gets added universally every patch
7449s	any every major update so yeah there's
7451s	there's there's stuff coming for
7452s	everything um but i' say it's probably
7455s	warlock probably if we're going to like
7456s	rank what every Master is going to get
7458s	in 1.2 warlock will probably be on the
7460s	lower half of that
7463s	split but I don't know where exactly uh
7466s	do you have any favorite ideas that you
7469s	were very excited about but got scrap
7471s	during development weapon
7473s	swap no weapon swap I want two weapons I
7475s	want to be to switch between my weapon
7477s	equips and the answer I always give but
7481s	it's the answer I always
7482s	have that'll about do it for me
