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 |
