| 327s | of the senior Developers for last Depo |
| 330s | and I'm working on uh some cool stuff |
| 332s | right now thought I'd show off the game |
| 333s | a little bit if you'd like to ask me |
| 335s | some questions about last EPO please |
| 337s | feel free to do so please put at lasto |
| 339s | game in the question in chat so I see it |
| 342s | no you want me to answer |
| 344s | it |
| 347s | um yeah I'm just I'm playing my I'm |
| 349s | playing my Raptor |
| 350s | boy my my totally optimal super serious |
| 355s | Raptor |
| 358s | boy uh uh we we should we'll have some |
| 361s | fun with |
| 364s | this uh where is it there it |
| 369s | is shout out Aaron I'm I'm I'm actually |
| 372s | following your build now which I like |
| 374s | looking at and I am very uh far away |
| 377s | from what you |
| 382s | put one point in there looks like a good |
| 385s | onep pointer |
| 390s | oh way over there all |
| 393s | right get into |
| 398s | it tune some volume stuff a little bit |
| 402s | summon a raptor so we don't |
| 404s | die let's get some questions |
| 407s | going oh yeah also should mention we |
| 409s | always stream for charity boom Child's |
| 411s | Play is our charity this week month time |
| 414s | whatever period it ends up being |
| 422s | uh is there a way to you to fuse filters |
| 425s | like to combine two loot filters |
| 427s | together no we don't have any way to do |
| 428s | that you could you could uh like open |
| 431s | the text files and do it but uh no we |
| 433s | don't we don't have a method for that in |
| 435s | game right now |
| 455s | I realized what was wrong my lights |
| 456s | turned up all the |
| 459s | way we got there feeling |
| 463s | good all right so is it meant to be a |
| 466s | spooky season event no I don't think |
| 468s | it's a spooky season event cuz it ends |
| 470s | uh distinctly before the spooky season |
| 472s | really happens but kind of I feel like |
| 475s | if it was a spooky season event it would |
| 476s | be ending a couple weeks after that |
| 483s | with the announcement of this new event |
| 485s | and refresh you guys still on track for |
| 486s | a new cycle in 3 four months I have no |
| 488s | information on the start time of 1.2 all |
| 490s | I can talk about is what's happening |
| 492s | with this event right |
| 497s | now which I'm assuming I'm going to have |
| 498s | to repeat that line like 40 more times |
| 500s | this stream and I'm totally fine with |
| 503s | that I know what I was signing up for |
| 512s | I do like this uh this two-hander but I |
| 514s | am excited to get into the proper |
| 516s | weapons for this build and I have one of |
| 520s | them feel like I should be able to find |
| 522s | the other though I have the important |
| 524s | one that lets me uh this build is is all |
| 526s | about getting a bajillion Raptors right |
| 529s | now we're playing the single Raptor |
| 530s | version so we're taking things that like |
| 531s | limit your Raptors to one but make them |
| 533s | better |
| 535s | um and we will be taking as many Raptors |
| 538s | as possible soon |
| 541s | well I say soon but we're still only |
| 543s | halfway |
| 551s | there don't forget to put atas heot game |
| 553s | in the |
| 554s | question |
| 557s | um but yeah do we have more details on |
| 559s | loot lizards uh we we don't have much |
| 562s | they are uh it's it's not a super deep |
| 566s | system um but it is a lot of fun there |
| 568s | there's a few things that I'm not going |
| 569s | to share but it is a um fairly |
| 572s | straightforward system as far as uh let |
| 574s | me just double check what I'm allowed to |
| 576s | say dancing around |
| 592s | this I'll find out how detailed I can |
| 596s | be all right do you have any plans to |
| 598s | change the filters so we can have custom |
| 600s | colors for different |
| 602s | items custom colors yeah we have that |
| 604s | and also not hear items |
| 607s | drop that are not seen with current |
| 609s | filter Oh you mean like the beams |
| 610s | probably um we don't have anything |
| 612s | changing for the beams |
| 616s | um uh like color-wise you can you can |
| 618s | put custom colors on already for sure |
| 620s | the as far as the sounds we don't have |
| 622s | any sound manipulation stuff happening |
| 623s | yet either that is something that we get |
| 625s | that gets requested fairly often though |
| 632s | I think hiding the sound is a pretty |
| 634s | low uh like for things you don't want to |
| 637s | hear the sound on that's that's |
| 638s | definitely a different ask than being |
| 639s | able to make custom sounds |
| 643s | um and probably more in line with what's |
| 657s | possible being a time travel game can we |
| 660s | some time portals with mini bosses or |
| 662s | events that |
| 663s | happen |
| 665s | um |
| 670s | like |
| 673s | yes |
| 674s | [Music] |
| 675s | um I I don't really think that has |
| 677s | anything specific to do with with with |
| 679s | like |
| 681s | time uh time travel as a as a theme to |
| 684s | to have a mechanic like that but yeah |
| 685s | that type of mechanic is is definitely |
| 686s | on the |
| 688s | table okay so I have been told I can say |
| 691s | what loot goblins are loot goblins uh |
| 693s | will appear randomly |
| 696s | throughout uh throughout the game as |
| 699s | you're as you're playing you'll come |
| 700s | across them you'll stumble upon them |
| 701s | just sitting there um and once they are |
| 704s | engaged in combat they will run away |
| 705s | from you and drop gold on the ground as |
| 707s | they run um and once you do eventually |
| 710s | kill them they will drop a bunch of Loot |
| 713s | and there's different types of them and |
| 715s | they'll drop different types of |
| 718s | loot uh yeah yeah they they you also |
| 720s | don't actually ever kill them they they |
| 723s | can't actually be killed uh cuz we |
| 725s | thought they were too cute and adorable |
| 727s | to actually kill so uh they they do |
| 730s | Escape every time but they leave behind |
| 731s | they lighten their load in order to be |
| 733s | able to escape so you still get their |
| 743s | stuff they they are there's like there |
| 747s | there's a couple alternate animation |
| 748s | things that are like they're they're |
| 750s | pretty funny when you see them they're |
| 751s | good |
| 759s | though all right more and there's a few |
| 762s | other little nuances to them that I'll |
| 763s | I'll leave for if we're doing a post on |
| 765s | them but that's that's essentially what |
| 767s | it is |
| 782s | all right any spoilers you can show for |
| 783s | the event I mean there there's one right |
| 793s | there all right he M do you guys ever |
| 796s | consider allowing movement while |
| 798s | attacking even at 50% less move speed it |
| 800s | feels like uh this is the last puzzle to |
| 803s | make melee feel great um |
| 810s | given the control scheme that we |
| 812s | have um movement while attacking |
| 817s | is like unless the abilties specifically |
| 820s | like so how do I we we have lots of |
| 822s | abilities that do move you while you |
| 823s | attack um and then we have other |
| 825s | abilities that don't move you while you |
| 826s | attack um having abilities dynamically |
| 830s | move you on attack based on how you're |
| 832s | like clicking at the same time um |
| 835s | creates a very awkward uh control scheme |
| 838s | at best uh so we're probably not |
| 840s | interested in doing something like that |
| 842s | generically for every melee ability um |
| 845s | and we'll probably continue to |
| 846s | incorporate as a specific property of |
| 848s | the ability |
| 859s | itself but yeah like um's what's the |
| 862s | usual go-to line if you have a |
| 863s | suggestion drop it in the suggestions |
| 865s | forums uh and we will consider it |
| 868s | impossible |
| 872s | [Applause] |
| 876s | uh sure this is being asked before but |
| 878s | any chance that we will be able to defer |
| 881s | Mastery selection in the future so that |
| 882s | we are not forced to select the Mastery |
| 884s | in order to complete the campaign |
| 889s | um so we don't we don't really I don't |
| 892s | think we have any specific plans to do |
| 893s | that at the moment um standard P |
| 895s | suggestion dropping the suggestions |
| 897s | Channel um but if excuse me if um if you |
| 902s | really want to do this and you're |
| 903s | playing online you can just have someone |
| 905s | else go to the other side of that |
| 907s | decision um and portal you there and you |
| 909s | never have to select it so you can't or |
| 912s | or jump ahead as far as you want so you |
| 913s | can kind of do this already in online um |
| 916s | as far as offline goes I mean you can it |
| 919s | it's offline there's a lot less |
| 926s | rules see let's see how how he's got |
| 929s | this built see if I'm doing anything |
| 931s | even remotely similar not really we're |
| 933s | going to go over here really okay yeah |
| 935s | that makes sense |
| 962s | all right next |
| 966s | one obviously you can't go into |
| 968s | specifics oh maybe we'll see I hope I |
| 969s | can you're probably right though um but |
| 973s | is there anything that you can share |
| 974s | about the general direction you're going |
| 976s | uh with the volatile reversal changes |
| 978s | that you mentioned last stream I not to |
| 980s | chat don't tell him let's see if my |
| 982s | trick |
| 987s | works um I remember what I said last |
| 990s | stream uh I think I said that there was |
| 993s | a a key ability that needed uh some |
| 996s | significant changes that was going to |
| 999s | have some pretty big impact on other |
| 1000s | abilities in Sentinel like I think I |
| 1003s | think that's what I said |
| 1007s | um on a completely unrelated note I do |
| 1010s | think that volti reversal is a little |
| 1012s | bit too ubiquit is at the |
| 1015s | moment um cuz it has such such a huge |
| 1019s | huge um like such a huge impact on your |
| 1024s | power level on your over overall power |
| 1026s | level and then it also has a gameplay |
| 1028s | pattern that a lot of people don't like |
| 1030s | um so it kind of feels like one of those |
| 1032s | mandatory and depending on how much you |
| 1035s | like it or not possibly really unfun |
| 1037s | mechanics or possibly really fun |
| 1039s | mechanics personally I love it |
| 1042s | um but then I find myself like not |
| 1044s | wanting to use it because it is just so |
| 1046s | ubiquitous I'm like I want to try |
| 1047s | something different um so yeah there |
| 1049s | there's there's some not awesome things |
| 1051s | that end up happening with Vol reversal |
| 1053s | in the state that's in right now uh so I |
| 1055s | think there's a lot of room for it to uh |
| 1057s | grow as an |
| 1059s | ability um also just becoming a more |
| 1062s | like ignoring its place in Sentinel at |
| 1065s | all I think there's probably a lot of |
| 1067s | room for volatile reveral to to grow as |
| 1068s | an ability in in just like the base |
| 1071s | functionality so it is more usable and |
| 1073s | also just more room for uh things to |
| 1076s | change in the tree you may notice the |
| 1077s | tree is pretty empty like it's pretty |
| 1081s | low node count tree um a CU it's really |
| 1084s | old and we've kind of had it on the cusp |
| 1086s | of a rework for so long like um I I |
| 1089s | remember we we've been like considering |
| 1091s | reworking it and we' we've been in |
| 1093s | debates regarding volatile reversal when |
| 1096s | two other games have released abilities |
| 1097s | that are very very similar and we're |
| 1099s | like let's see how this one goes um and |
| 1102s | then we're like cuz one of the times we |
| 1105s | actually had changes planned that were |
| 1106s | extremely similar to one of the other |
| 1108s | games was coming out with a very similar |
| 1110s | ability and like we realized that it |
| 1112s | wasn't working the way we had hoped it |
| 1114s | was going to work but it was working |
| 1115s | well in their game and we're like we |
| 1116s | can't change the other things to make it |
| 1117s | work in our game the same way we want it |
| 1118s | to work like this like so we had to |
| 1119s | scrap that idea it's been a whole |
| 1121s | journey with with Vol reversal |
| 1124s | um yeah I I hope I hope we're able to to |
| 1128s | like really bring it together cuz it's |
| 1130s | such a it's such a thematically awesome |
| 1132s | ability for void Knight and having it be |
| 1136s | such a ubiquitous |
| 1140s | um uh having to be such ubiquitous part |
| 1146s | uh of the |
| 1149s | um of the Sentinel ability system itself |
| 1153s | is |
| 1154s | uh I I think I think it it does a |
| 1157s | disservice to the to to the void Knight |
| 1159s | theming with it being so important to |
| 1161s | take on Forge guards and |
| 1167s | um uh |
| 1170s | paladins that's the other |
| 1190s | one but for the record I would have |
| 1191s | given that answer about volatile veral |
| 1193s | whether you asked about volatile |
| 1194s | reversal specifically or |
| 1195s | not regardless of the context |
| 1204s | all |
| 1206s | right uh will the blade dancer get any |
| 1209s | new skills I see that it has three plus |
| 1210s | one Mastery skill compared to Falcon or |
| 1212s | 4 plus one exclusive skill yeah um we we |
| 1215s | don't have a fixed minimum number of |
| 1216s | abilities per class uh or Mastery |
| 1220s | even um but we do have |
| 1223s | um like |
| 1225s | General General plans to work more on |
| 1228s | the abilities that are |
| 1229s | less uh work more on abilities for |
| 1232s | masters that have fewer |
| 1236s | abilities excuse |
| 1238s | me um so I think I think in general |
| 1242s | you'll start to see that happen that |
| 1243s | that shift happen but I don't want to |
| 1244s | say specifically like I I'm not saying |
| 1248s | that we are specifically working on a |
| 1249s | blade dancer ability right now |
| 1263s | like there's there's other classes that |
| 1264s | fit with that same |
| 1270s | category like |
| 1272s | Shaman and Marksman and base Rogue |
| 1277s | and |
| 1282s | um Spell blade have enough I see Spell |
| 1284s | blade has enough |
| 1287s | um Paladin there we go got it thank you |
| 1291s | very |
| 1291s | much ah Dreadful welcome with the |
| 1294s | raiding |
| 1295s | party take a load off hang |
| 1299s | out Chit |
| 1304s | Chat one of my buddies is just starting |
| 1306s | to to get into Epoch uh dread and uh he |
| 1309s | he linked me one of your builds last |
| 1310s | night that he's going to try |
| 1321s | oh my god did I say loot goblins I'm so |
| 1323s | sorry loot lizards what did I |
| 1329s | say lizards they're definitely |
| 1333s | lizards |
| 1335s | oof there's a |
| 1337s | slip all right uh Mike I noticed a lot |
| 1340s | of spam for real money trading in game |
| 1342s | chat last week or so is there any plans |
| 1343s | to have a report option uh to the player |
| 1346s | chat right now all I see is a block |
| 1348s | player but no report |
| 1349s | um I I don't think we're actually |
| 1351s | putting a specific report system in like |
| 1353s | that |
| 1355s | um they they like they are getting |
| 1358s | flagged stuff is happening hey wow um |
| 1362s | double crit not not super high tier or |
| 1364s | anything but you know so |
| 1369s | nice banish it and lose it |
| 1385s | [Music] |
| 1387s | Ste all right give me that |
| 1403s | sword all right any new uniques for the |
| 1406s | event or those just planned for next |
| 1407s | cycle I don't think there's any new |
| 1409s | uniques coming for the event it's it's |
| 1410s | it's not really a full-blown patch it's |
| 1412s | not really designed as a like um what |
| 1414s | you'd expect with a full a fullblown |
| 1417s | like major patch like we we would do |
| 1419s | normally with a with with a cycle reset |
| 1422s | um we're we're we're mainly targeting |
| 1425s | like quality of life stuff |
| 1427s | and um a ladder |
| 1430s | reset and and the event |
| 1433s | like boosts |
| 1443s | are the changes coming to dungeons |
| 1445s | permanent or just for the event |
| 1446s | permanent permanent yeah and there's |
| 1448s | going to be more too so the things that |
| 1449s | we do the like the first the first |
| 1452s | little things we're changing with |
| 1452s | dungeons it's kind of um part of it is |
| 1456s | like a hey we we know we know there's |
| 1458s | stuff wrong with dungeons we we are |
| 1459s | working to fix them there's some more |
| 1461s | in-depth things I think are going to be |
| 1463s | coming afterwards as |
| 1464s | well might be a little bit more long |
| 1466s | term but we do we do intend for even |
| 1469s | more updates after these like it won't |
| 1470s | it won't finish here there's going to be |
| 1472s | um I'm not 100% sure exactly what part |
| 1474s | of it is making it into uh into this |
| 1476s | little reset but yeah the the goal is is |
| 1479s | for long-term dungeon changes for the |
| 1481s | better |
| 1482s | um the the full procedural generation's |
| 1485s | not in yet so I this is |
| 1489s | um going going to |
| 1493s | be more eventually awesome |
| 1507s | this will probably also be our |
| 1512s | like well maybe not never |

| 1622s | coming up but I I we definitely |
| 1624s | definitely know that there's uh a very |
| 1627s | significant conversation on the topic to |
| 1628s | be |

| 1676s | said Goblin with lizard please I'll say |
| 1678s | a few more times here for for checks |
| 1679s | just lizard lizard |
| 1682s | lizard there we |
| 1685s | go I'm I'm just |
| 1690s | kidding I don't know where I'm going |
| 1691s | either let's let's let's actually do |
| 1693s | this |
| 1694s | properly okay any infos to custom UI |
| 1697s | cursor uh and we can feel any real pets |
| 1700s | that activate |
| 1701s | can and can |
| 1703s | we get finally real pets that activate |
| 1706s | can fight with you not many minions or |
| 1709s | Deco |
| 1719s | pets I don't I I'm sorry I don't really |
| 1721s | understand the I I think no but I'm not |
| 1724s | really sure sorry um any on the custom |
| 1728s | UI cursor we we did we did have some |
| 1729s | breakthroughs recently on on being able |
| 1731s | to finally do that uh it is tied to the |
| 1733s | version upgrade of the engine so we are |
| 1735s | uh we are working on that |
| 1739s | [Music] |
| 1745s | impossible |
| 1748s | CRA this is not |
| 1764s | over I mean that's not terrible for |
| 1767s | us and consider that it's |
| 1770s | interesting a little bit faster might be |
| 1774s | nice all right you sound Sicky okay no |
| 1778s | it is uh pollen season and I have |
| 1785s | allergies will primordial uniques come |
| 1787s | with a new endgame mechanic or they sort |
| 1789s | of a side effect like Nemesis um I I |
| 1793s | don't have any info on primordial |
| 1794s | uniques at the moment um |
| 1804s | yeah it's it's it's h sorry I got |
| 1808s | nothing on that it it's it's |
| 1812s | um I can't even say that I'm sorry that |
| 1816s | that that's kind of a lock topic right |
| 1821s | now uh is the midcycle event like Cycles |
| 1824s | where you have to start a new character |
| 1825s | if you want to play on the ladder yes so |
| 1827s | like the cycle is resetting |
| 1828s | the ladder's resetting so if you want to |
| 1830s | play on the ladder you will have to make |
| 1831s | a new character or on yeah on the like |
| 1833s | main cycle ladder so it's going to be a |
| 1835s | fresh ladder to start with um stuff's |
| 1838s | going to |
| 1844s | reset but there's nothing new there |
| 1846s | there's no differences so um like |
| 1849s | everything you're doing now is going to |
| 1851s | stay exactly the same as the way it is |
| 1853s | because you'll just be able to keep |
| 1854s | playing everything exactly as the way it |
| 1856s | is with all of your same stuff and |
| 1861s | um like the only thing that's I guess a |
| 1863s | little different is that the um like the |
| 1866s | the |
| 1867s | current um two auction houses the |
| 1870s | current two bizarre markets are merging |
| 1871s | together and a new one is forming that's |
| 1874s | kind of the only real |
| 1876s | difference with what's currently on |
| 1880s | live and for everyone who's playing |
| 1882s | Merchant scill that's probably a really |
| 1883s | positive thing |
| 1893s | [Applause] |
| 1899s | whether whether you want a fresh one or |
| 1900s | you want to stick with the old one it's |
| 1901s | probably going to have a very positive |
| 1902s | effect on both |
| 1905s | instances all right uh seeing that the |
| 1908s | game will be steam deck verified did |
| 1910s | that verification um considering a |
| 1913s | minimum performance level for example |
| 1914s | are there going to be noticeable |
| 1915s | performance improvements in the patch uh |
| 1917s | yes specific specifically targeted |
| 1919s | around steam deck um right if it weren't |
| 1924s | for you I'd still uh like there's |
| 1926s | there's some things that |
| 1928s | are going to affect PC as well but |
| 1930s | primarily it's it's like steam deck |
| 1932s | changes as far as performance goes |
| 1933s | that's the main |
| 1937s | targets um it's also a lot of like UI um |
| 1940s | UI adjustments there's a lot of stuff |
| 1941s | with UI it's like most just things where |
| 1944s | you're like oh that's kind of janky you |
| 1946s | can't really do that properly on on a |
| 1947s | steam deck H |
| 1964s | great |
| 1975s | thanks all right when midseason event |
| 1977s | starts |
| 1979s | um it's in the announcement |
| 1983s | uh it's the |
| 1988s | 17th question mark 19th September |
| 1996s | 19th um and depending on like what where |
| 2001s | you live in the world it'll be different |
| 2002s | but the Forum post has the specific like |
| 2004s | timestamp on it that is uh localized |
| 2008s | so there's the |
| 2020s | link |
| 2027s | beautiful all right let's keep |
| 2030s | going get this bad boy |
| 2034s | leveled all right are the steam deck |
| 2037s | performance improvements targeting the L |
| 2038s | the Linux native client or the windows |
| 2040s | binary run through proton um it's going |
| 2044s | to have it's going to be I think the the |
| 2046s | Linux the seam deck specific targeted |
| 2048s | changes are through the Linux |
| 2050s | native |
| 2052s | um setup we're we're not assuming that |
| 2055s | people are having to like install extra |
| 2057s | things or um you know workarounds to to |
| 2060s | make it work and things like that |
| 2074s | but there are things |
| 2075s | like there are things that just just |
| 2077s | happen generically for everything as |
| 2078s | well so both I |
| 2081s | guess uh can it be pick up hotkey can it |
| 2084s | be a pickup hot key for the keyboard |
| 2086s | mouse as there is one for controller |
| 2090s | um I I don't think we're planning on |
| 2093s | doing anything like that but it's |
| 2096s | possible I feel like we talked about |
| 2098s | that there's a reason we're not doing |
| 2100s | it no I'm blanking on what the reason |
| 2109s | isoss |
| 2124s | impossible all right more questions |
| 2126s | what's next |
| 2129s | Beaver |
| 2130s | Mech love that |
| 2136s | name good I just want to say I'm so damn |
| 2138s | hyped for the oh awesome especially |
| 2140s | improvements for the deck it runs pretty |
| 2141s | well already using cry utilities can't |
| 2143s | wait to see it |
| 2145s | verified yeah yeah it's like it's been a |
| 2148s | bit of a project getting a steam deck |
| 2149s | verified but I think it's going to be |
| 2150s | really like a really positive change who |
| 2154s | that's D your mouse is over one |
| 2164s | impossible all |
| 2169s | right yeah I'm hoping I haven't I |
| 2171s | haven't been I haven't been directly |
| 2172s | involved with that uh development |
| 2174s | process |
| 2177s | um but I'm hoping that there won't even |
| 2179s | be the like oh use Crow utilities I'm |
| 2180s | sure most people will still anyways just |
| 2182s | cuz it's going to help it like even more |
| 2192s | all right when you say Linux native do |
| 2194s | you actually mean Native are running |
| 2195s | through proton compatibility like most |
| 2197s | steam deck games I I don't know you you |
| 2200s | you've got me on a at a disadvantage of |
| 2203s | I do not have a steam |
| 2208s | deck see we can find out |
| 2246s | uh with regards to the the the the |
| 2248s | hoodies and and that sort of the merch |
| 2249s | stuff I I did get a confirmation from |
| 2252s | from uh from people that it is something |
| 2254s | we are that is well aware of that that |
| 2256s | needs to be done but we no |
| 2271s | ETA all |
| 2274s | right are there any plans to allow us to |
| 2277s | influence echoes or specific mechanics |
| 2279s | like Atlas tree and Poe |
| 2283s | yes not uh not in this little cycle |
| 2288s | refresh that's |
| 2291s | happening just to be |
| 2293s | clear there's there's not going to be |
| 2295s | like a big surprise dump of extra |
| 2298s | stuff |
| 2301s | um like of of like secret huge mechanics |
| 2303s | or anything like that it's uh the bulk |
| 2307s | of what is has already been |
| 2317s | revealed |
| 2318s | impossible I think it's going to have a |
| 2320s | really a really nice effect overall just |
| 2323s | like I don't know |
| 2325s | being I I really like the idea of the |
| 2327s | reset and the things that are happening |
| 2329s | is uh they're really nice |
| 2342s | oh uh sorry with the with the steam deck |
| 2345s | stuff I am completely wrong going the |
| 2348s | opposite |
| 2349s | direction it is running Windows through |
| 2358s | proton Windows version |
| 2378s | more questions more I hunger for |
| 2380s | questions all |
| 2384s | right uh any plans for set items to get |
| 2390s | LP this should be the Center Square on |
| 2392s | the Bingo no there's no plans for LP to |
| 2394s | go on to set items we have a very |
| 2396s | distinct separate plan for set items um |
| 2399s | that's going to make them uh like a fun |
| 2402s | and interesting choice uh it's been |
| 2404s | something we've been talking about for a |
| 2405s | really long time and it feels like it's |
| 2406s | never going to happen it will happen um |
| 2409s | just got to find the right time to work |
| 2410s | it in it's also why we've kind of |
| 2412s | stalled on adding new sets to the game |
| 2414s | until that |
| 2416s | happens um cuz it's going to have a |
| 2417s | really big impact on existing sets and |
| 2420s | how they're how they're designed and how |
| 2422s | they're how they fit into the overall |
| 2423s | system of uh build crafting and things |
| 2425s | like that so it's it's going to be it's |
| 2426s | going to be pretty well all went exalted |
| 2428s | wow that's |
| 2432s | cool |
| 2438s | storms lightning |
| 2449s | C finally |
| 2460s | all |
| 2461s | right any chance are loot filters can |
| 2463s | Cloud say when I saw PC to steam deck I |
| 2465s | want the filters to transfer we don't |
| 2467s | have that functionality at the moment |
| 2468s | I'm |
| 2471s | sorry here I was I'll double check |
| 2474s | hoping this would lead us |
| 2477s | closer we might have no choice but to |
| 2480s | chant |
| 2494s | all |
| 2496s | right can someone T all the hearts been |
| 2498s | said so far about steam deck not a lot |
| 2501s | uh it's going to be better |
| 2503s | performance there's UI scaling stuff |
| 2505s | that's coming |
| 2507s | in |
| 2510s | um y |
| 2519s | looks like we might be working on the |
| 2520s | filters sinking I don't know if it's |
| 2522s | actually in yet but someone is working |
| 2524s | on |
| 2528s | [Applause] |
| 2535s | it uh can you say anything about the |
| 2537s | plan set rework any chance that's coming |
| 2539s | up the next cycle um no it's not coming |
| 2541s | the next cycle um it's it it it hasn't |
| 2545s | been started on at all um other than |
| 2548s | design um and I've said all I can say |
| 2552s | about it |
| 2563s | sorry all right uh would you consider |
| 2565s | slightly increasing item pickup range |
| 2567s | and your item label size I find the |
| 2569s | basic Act of looting in Le the most |
| 2571s | grating relative to its comp um |
| 2574s | contemporaries uh due to how hard it can |
| 2576s | be to click on a lab and how the |
| 2578s | character has to be directly on the item |
| 2580s | itself to pick it up um the issue is |
| 2582s | exacerbated when labels are desinc from |
| 2584s | the items themselves um feel like |
| 2587s | physically just just when there's too |
| 2588s | many items drop and they have to move |
| 2589s | out of the way um when several things |
| 2591s | drop |
| 2593s | yeah um yeah the the best way to get |
| 2596s | something like that considered is to |
| 2597s | drop it into uh if you like I know I |
| 2599s | just keep saying it sound like a broken |
| 2600s | record we've got suggestions forums and |
| 2603s | suggestions threads in Discord and |
| 2604s | places where you want people to put |
| 2605s | suggestions it's it's totally possible |
| 2607s | um I don't think like anything like that |
| 2609s | is specifically in the works right now |
| 2614s | um but like that's that's mostly just a |
| 2617s | feels thing which is quite often what |
| 2619s | gets taken from feedback |
| 2635s | so why am I not dropping that |
| 2641s | for I have berserk it's like half the |
| 2643s | reason to use |
| 2650s | it uh right how does the game decide |
| 2653s | where to remove skill points from when |
| 2654s | you take out a plus skill level item |
| 2656s | okay it's a little |
| 2660s | tricky uh here's a good example so here |
| 2662s | it would take Warriors and Brace if I if |
| 2663s | I had a plus skill item it would |
| 2665s | definitely take Warriors and Brace yeah |
| 2668s | um and so it's the it's the highest |
| 2670s | point node that removing a point would |
| 2673s | not cause a problem there's one two and |
| 2675s | three requirements but there's no four |
| 2676s | or five requirements so removing a point |
| 2678s | from here would cause no issues and it's |
| 2680s | the highest point node in the whole tree |
| 2682s | so that was really easy to figure out |
| 2683s | which one it would do um when there's |
| 2686s | multiple nodes that fulfill that |
| 2689s | requirement here we take out bloodb uh |
| 2692s | blood Beast for |
| 2694s | sure uh I don't have a good example here |
| 2696s | if if like both of these were at four |
| 2699s | let's say both the the Staggering Roar |
| 2701s | and deep Roar were both at four um which |
| 2703s | would it take points out of first it |
| 2704s | would take one point out of deep Roar |
| 2706s | first and then one point out of |
| 2707s | Staggering Roar and then one point out |
| 2708s | of deep Roar and then one point out of |
| 2709s | Staggering Roar |
| 2711s | um and the way I know that you're going |
| 2713s | to hate actually it would sorry because |
| 2715s | there's four down here as well it would |
| 2716s | it would do this one as well this will |
| 2717s | be the second one so it go here then it |
| 2719s | go here and then it go here |
| 2723s | um and the reason I know the order is |
| 2725s | because I know the order these nodes |
| 2727s | were added to the game |
| 2730s | in um not like added into the game like |
| 2733s | from a history perspective but like from |
| 2736s | like the order that they sit in the list |
| 2737s | in the back end um which I know is not |
| 2740s | something you can be expected to know |
| 2741s | but basically it just picks High Point |
| 2743s | nodes without lots of requirements and |
| 2745s | actually I'm wrong it wouldn't take four |
| 2746s | here because there's there's a four |
| 2747s | requirement for this one sorry so it |
| 2748s | just bounced between these two like I |
| 2749s | originally said so it takes it from the |
| 2752s | highest point nodes um and it generally |
| 2755s | for a lot of nodes it will start kind of |
| 2757s | at 11:00 and work counterclockwise back |
| 2761s | that's kind of the order that most of |
| 2762s | them go in so you can kind of get a feel |
| 2764s | for it that way war cry I know follows |
| 2770s | that but like the instant someone just |
| 2773s | like adds a new node and it goes to the |
| 2774s | end of the list it just like breaks the |
| 2775s | whole order and it's like so it's not |
| 2777s | perfect anyways |
| 2781s | [Applause] |
| 2800s | possible uh Clan SL guilds any info no |
| 2803s | info sorry I think it's something that |
| 2804s | we are um coming around to as a more |
| 2807s | positive thing soon |
| 2810s | um but we don't any info on when |
| 2821s | all right all things considered what do |
| 2823s | you think is the best build to play in a |
| 2826s | race to 100 Imperial Uprising ladder I |
| 2828s | don't know I |
| 2830s | am of I I really I really don't know |
| 2834s | that's that that's something you should |
| 2835s | ask people who are going to be racing |
| 2836s | for that and when he fled I saw him |
| 2838s | heading deeper into the mountains when |
| 2840s | you find time you could take a Peak at |
| 2844s | something where a lot of the build power |
| 2846s | comes from like the raw damage output |
| 2849s | comes more from your trees than from |
| 2851s | your |
| 2853s | items cuz you want to spend time as like |
| 2856s | experience farming and less time as um |
| 2859s | gear farming |
| 2880s | will there be an option to delete pickup |
| 2882s | only |
| 2883s | stashes uh in the near future I |
| 2888s | mean uh I don't think we plann like an |
| 2890s | option to delete them |
| 2894s | really is like it's it's it's like it's |
| 2897s | a tiny little drop down in like a side |
| 2899s | like a there's like a little drop down |
| 2900s | here with little things in |
| 2901s | there is |
| 2903s | that |
| 2905s | uh I I guess I can see a reason to want |
| 2907s | to delete it |
| 2912s | um I don't think that's on the list |
| 2914s | right |
| 2915s | now thank you very much someone what do |
| 2917s | we got here spy thanks for 19 months |
| 2921s | buddy appreciate |
| 2924s | you like it's over over a year and a |
| 2926s | half now |
| 2938s | okay I got a confirmation that they do |
| 2939s | not sync now but they are planned to be |
| 2942s | synced the the the loot filters for |
| 2944s | steam |
| 2948s | deck all right with improvements to |
| 2950s | controller gameplay and UI from Steam |
| 2952s | deck gratification is console anywhere |
| 2953s | in the plans yeah I think it's um it's |
| 2956s | definitely a step |
| 2957s | towards um towards consoles as a plan um |
| 2962s | like it's a step in the right direction |
| 2963s | you know every every time we tick off a |
| 2965s | box of something that's going to need to |
| 2966s | happen for consoles eventually because |
| 2968s | we're doing some other task now um it |
| 2971s | just means that consoles are more likely |
| 2972s | to happen uh sooner and sooner and |
| 2974s | sooner every time that happens |
| 2976s | right um so I think there's |
| 2980s | like there there's not a specific like |
| 2983s | Hey we're we're we're I don't have a |
| 2985s | specific news about console development |
| 2987s | at all right now um but it's I think the |
| 2990s | conversation is Shifting that way |
| 2992s | slightly slowly but surely |
| 3007s | all right is it possible to get a quick |
| 3009s | gear switching path so players can swap |
| 3012s | uh to movement speed gear and back to |
| 3015s | like defensive SL offensive gear setup |
| 3019s | um it no like so specifically you're |
| 3021s | talking about |
| 3023s | like like like you're you're carrying |
| 3025s | around gear and then like like you you |
| 3028s | you've got like your your running gear |
| 3029s | that you run through and then you just |
| 3030s | like quick switch and just like pulls a |
| 3031s | bunch of gear and puts it on for like um |
| 3034s | wholesale switching your gears to like |
| 3036s | change what content you're doing on the |
| 3037s | Fly and things like that like that's |
| 3038s | that's definitely stuff we do not want |
| 3040s | to encourage at |
| 3042s | all bees so many |
| 3049s | bees |
| 3056s | impossible all right hey you mentioned |
| 3058s | loot lizards in the game can we expect |
| 3061s | shards and crafting materials from them |
| 3063s | or just gear lots of |
| 3081s | both get back here |
| 3084s | impossible I didn't give you a hall |
| 3090s | [Music] |
| 3105s | Foss |
| 3107s | Bey all |
| 3112s | right on the removing a skill point |
| 3116s | topic I think it would be helpful to |
| 3117s | have some little r ring persist until I |
| 3120s | selected the node I may have a good long |
| 3122s | periods of time without not realizing |
| 3124s | because I didn't notice at first yeah |
| 3126s | the it's supposed to if it's not it's a |
| 3128s | bug it's supposed to when you open the |
| 3130s | skill tree it's supposed to flash any |
| 3132s | any nodes that head points removed from |
| 3134s | them |
| 3136s | recently um there supposed to like blink |
| 3145s | red don't have anything on me to test it |
| 3151s | with come on come on I know I'm chasing |
| 3154s | you the wrong way |
| 3165s | around they always go clockwise so you |
| 3168s | can uh usually just run or they always |
| 3171s | run counterclockwise you can always you |
| 3172s | can usually run clockwise |
| 3187s | okay next |
| 3190s | question uh right is there any plan to |
| 3192s | restructure Quest echoes in normal |
| 3195s | monoliths they are tolerable on the |
| 3196s | first few characters but I feel really |
| 3198s | bad on alt um where you have the power |
| 3200s | to quickly Advance through the normal |
| 3202s | monos even though you only have to do |
| 3204s | half of |
| 3205s | them um |
| 3208s | I mean |
| 3209s | it's we're we're what talking |
| 3213s | about like 12 quests or something like |
| 3217s | that 14 |
| 3223s | quests um I don't think there's any |
| 3224s | specific plans to restructure them right |
| 3226s | now um I I I can I can see why it |
| 3228s | wouldn't |
| 3229s | be like I don't know hugely sought after |
| 3233s | things to do |
| 3256s | there are there are lots of things we're |
| 3257s | doing to make um speeding up alts in |
| 3260s | general |
| 3261s | faster um I don't know if it'll be |
| 3263s | targeted there but there's there's lots |
| 3265s | of like got your alts leveled faster um |
| 3269s | changes that we are are bringing in more |
| 3271s | focused on the campaign |
| 3273s | itself um cuz at least with the monos |
| 3276s | they are the quest that goes they are |
| 3277s | still like |
| 3280s | um like appropriately leveled content at |
| 3287s | least so you're seeing all the things |
| 3289s | that can go in there in monoliths and |
| 3291s | there side events things like that |
| 3297s | all right are you guys ever going to add |
| 3299s | supporter packs with uh merch like |
| 3301s | shirts and art prints like Poe yeah we |
| 3304s | we've actually done that before |
| 3308s | um I would not be surprised to see |
| 3310s | something like that make a comeback once |
| 3311s | we have a merch St and |
| 3323s | running uh could a dropable currency for |
| 3326s | stash t ABS be possible I can't justify |
| 3328s | using gold for light or light for |
| 3330s | lightless Arbor in CF because my stash |
| 3332s | always has to |
| 3334s | expand |
| 3338s | um I I I don't think anything like that |
| 3341s | is currently planned um it's not |
| 3344s | impossible though |
| 3364s | wow we've gone into shark down here |
| 3365s | apparently yeah I should respect |
| 3367s | this a |
| 3371s | lot oh we're just going to keep going |
| 3373s | and then I will respect it properly |
| 3377s | later do not do what I do cuz it's |
| 3380s | really bad it always is |
| 3390s | so when I'm following other people's |
| 3391s | stuff then it's |
| 3397s | okay all right the red flashing of nodes |
| 3399s | removal doesn't actually work at least |
| 3401s | since 92 really it's been that long |
| 3412s | god well it's supposed to |
| 3423s | [Applause] |
| 3429s | definitely not recording |
| 3431s | it I swear I don't do that on |
| 3442s | stream where is |
| 3445s | it there it is |
| 3469s | definitely definitely I'm not doing |
| 3474s | it yeah |
| 3486s | all right any plan to make getting to |
| 3488s | 100 short or hitting 100 this cycle was |
| 3490s | very long um not really we're not really |
| 3495s | expecting players to hit level 100 it's |
| 3497s | it's sort of a a stretch goal a stretch |
| 3500s | achievement uh type mechanic for us it's |
| 3502s | not a like something that we're |
| 3504s | expecting players to do regularly |
| 3509s | um like builds come online way before |
| 3511s | level 100 and the difference between |
| 3513s | level like a 95 build on a 100 build is |
| 3516s | so minimal in almost every situation |
| 3522s | um it's more of a Prestige |
| 3529s | thing yeah I'll just keep stacking that |
| 3554s | not going to let us will let's go down |
| 3558s | here didn't think |
| 3560s | so worth a shot though right all right |
| 3577s | I see someone that's asking why I'm not |
| 3578s | answering them just so you know if you |
| 3580s | uh want me to answer your question |
| 3581s | please put at last OT game in the |
| 3583s | question and I will answer it I just I |
| 3584s | just skipped over it cuz it was I I |
| 3586s | usually don't read the ones that aren't |
| 3588s | tagged to me because I'm assuming that's |
| 3590s | people talking to each |
| 3595s | other impossible |
| 3603s | all right |
| 3605s | oops uh how often do you dream of the |
| 3607s | day where the only bugs in Ellie uh that |
| 3611s | people complain about are those stupid |
| 3612s | stag beetle mounts those fire nasty |
| 3615s | exploding |
| 3616s | Spears that would be great only one bug |
| 3623s | po impossible |
| 3626s | but I mean then we couldn't add more |
| 3628s | bugs into the game like like eological |
| 3632s | bug like like not animals but |
| 3639s | insects all right Mike where's the next |
| 3643s | one as a casual player I find an item to |
| 3645s | upgrade my high level character two to |
| 3646s | three times per week it is very |
| 3647s | frustrating uh to have the crafting |
| 3649s | system ruin them more often than not |
| 3651s | just |
| 3652s | venting cool thanks for the venting |
| 3659s | let me in let me |
| 3661s | in all right this is a first world |
| 3664s | problem but would it be possible to have |
| 3666s | templates for stash tabs for those of us |
| 3668s | who always organize our stash the same |
| 3670s | way every cycle yeah I think that's a |
| 3671s | reasonable request we don't have |
| 3673s | anything like that going at the |
| 3675s | [Music] |
| 3677s | moment I've been expecting you you |
| 3681s | should have seen him yes I've heard of |
| 3683s | your power let's see how you face this |
| 3688s | who are |
| 3693s | you get the berserk going keep it yeah |
| 3697s | keep |
| 3711s | berserk just got to keep berserk going |
| 3729s | is again frenzy oh easy just just just |
| 3731s | turnning through that like |
| 3736s | but all |
| 3742s | right this this is a point that I see so |
| 3744s | many people die and like I'm I know I'm |
| 3746s | going to do it right here too just cuz |
| 3747s | I'm calling it out but there's there's |
| 3749s | like such a difficulty on the damage |
| 3750s | output Spike that's coming in especially |
| 3753s | in fire damage which I have such great |
| 3755s | resistances |
| 3759s | for 50 it's |
| 3763s | 50 I'm back in my time wait I recognize |
| 3768s | these mountains I must hurry impossible |
| 3781s | more questions that's what I'm doing not |
| 3782s | playing the game I'm here to answer |
| 3784s | questions aren't I all right what do you |
| 3787s | think personally of a small reward chest |
| 3789s | for every level 100 every level after |
| 3791s | 100 throw in some uniques with the |
| 3792s | higher LP chance or something |
| 3798s | um I can I can see I can see why you're |
| 3801s | what why you'd be interested in |
| 3802s | something like that |
| 3805s | um hey it it kind |
| 3808s | of It kind of has the opposite effect |
| 3810s | that we're we're looking for with with |
| 3813s | what level 100 represents so it gives a |
| 3816s | tangible like a a major reason to be 100 |
| 3820s | and and go past 100 where it's like |
| 3821s | we're saying like hey yeah keep keep |
| 3823s | doing it this is the this is the optimal |
| 3825s | way to farm is by just getting to 100 |
| 3826s | and keeping to Farm after 100 this one |
| 3828s | character and we kind of want to say to |
| 3831s | players like it's okay to play other |
| 3832s | classes and it's it's okay to diversify |
| 3834s | a little bit and try things out um |
| 3840s | um so I don't I don't know how much all |
| 3843s | right second time we tried this on this |
| 3846s | class that could turn into something not |
| 3856s | bad |
| 3862s | fren this is not over berserk does work |
| 3867s | oh I love the |
| 3881s | Z oh I just got a great |
| 3894s | idea okay |
| 3896s | all right uh any plans on whoa that |
| 3900s | is my preview screen is just going nuts |
| 3902s | I hope it wasn't like that on |
| 3905s | stream all right uh will we see minion |
| 3907s | DPS in tool tips eventually one day I |
| 3910s | sure hope |
| 3911s | so it's not ready |
| 3913s | yet uh for inventory filter you guys |
| 3916s | work on aix's tier search for example |
| 3919s | tier 7 INT in tier six strength um I |
| 3922s | don't think it's that granular |
| 3928s | you get pretty close to that cuz you can |
| 3929s | have multiple conditions per uh per |
| 3933s | entry |
| 3938s | now uh any plans on making key stackle |
| 3941s | adding a key ring I don't bother picking |
| 3943s | up them after I have six stash tabs full |
| 3945s | of them wow yeah we're working on this |
| 3947s | it's not not for this uh midcycle |
| 3950s | refresh but um yeah you'll see some some |
| 3952s | UI updates uh for the inventory that |
| 3954s | will uh among other things include a key |
| 3958s | ring that is that is in development |
| 3960s | right now I can confirm we are actively |
| 3962s | working on it for the first |
| 3967s | time an actual dedicated key |
| 3982s | inventory there's there's some other |
| 3984s | things that fall that same category that |
| 3985s | are |
| 3986s | on the horizon like in the same patch |
| 3990s | and then the patch after that as well |
| 3991s | type thing so it's |
| 3994s | um going to become very necessary to |
| 3997s | have a more generic way of dealing with |
| 3999s | items like that in the |
| 4006s | future ends |
| 4016s | cuz having having your inventory like |
| 4018s | fill up is an important pressure on not |
| 4021s | picking up too many items at the same |
| 4023s | time um like and like being a little |
| 4026s | Discerning with which items you're |
| 4027s | picking up so that pressure is good to |
| 4029s | have um but we don't want that pressure |
| 4031s | to persist past the decision of like |
| 4035s | what what I can carry with me versus |
| 4036s | what's in town um and then a lot of |
| 4039s | these things also just aren't overly |
| 4041s | awesome to do that with anyways so like |
| 4046s | all right we're doing that cuz we only |
| 4047s | have one companion right |
| 4049s | now |
| 4052s | um so yeah it'll it'll be they'll be on |
| 4055s | the same sort |
| 4056s | of tier as runes and glyphs |
| 4061s | and |
| 4072s | aexes 1 hour into the stream check we're |
| 4074s | doing pretty good hours |
| 4078s | behind I missed the question too when |
| 4080s | when will we see you fight |
| 4082s | aboth uh I'm not |
| 4086s | sure I I want I want to give it a try |
| 4089s | like organically and not use like |
| 4090s | cheated stuff so maybe I'll just I'll |
| 4092s | probably just keep playing off |
| 4094s | cycle um and fight aboth then with these |
| 4102s | characters I will I will try and get a |
| 4104s | character build uh um I've been ready to |
| 4107s | go for |
| 4108s | it before the next major major patch if |
| 4111s | I can that'll be my |
| 4126s | goal uh maybe the question has already |
| 4128s | been asked but will you consider add |
| 4132s | challenges with exclusives rewards for |
| 4134s | new cycle |
| 4136s | um it's a that that's that's a whole |
| 4139s | Minefield of of stuff um like what's |
| 4142s | okay to put in there what's not okay to |
| 4143s | put in there um there's all sorts of |
| 4146s | difficult questions to answer it it is |
| 4148s | not impossible um we don't have anything |
| 4151s | planned specifically for this one |
| 4157s | yet probably get some prophecy shouldn't |
| 4159s | know |
| 4166s | yes |
| 4169s | please yes |
| 4179s | please are the loot lizards cute oh yeah |
| 4182s | they're |
| 4189s | awesome there's there's there's some |
| 4191s | cute little things |
| 4194s | that that that that'll that'll be fun to |
| 4196s | experience for the first time |
| 4205s | organically barbarian when when it's |
| 4207s | ready and we decide to do |
| 4215s | it uh any plans for a unified auction |
| 4219s | house any plans for a unified auction |
| 4221s | house for trading Q oh like a um not |
| 4225s | having to go to different people for |
| 4227s | each like base item type I I I think |
| 4230s | that's the that's the goal but um it's |
| 4233s | not it was it was not possible at all |
| 4235s | initially and I don't think it's it's we |
| 4238s | finished all the updates need to be done |
| 4239s | to make that possible |
| 4244s | yet all right quick two-part question |
| 4247s | Quest question Quest icon |
| 4250s | question uh will it be possible to hide |
| 4253s | campaign quests seeing them on the |
| 4254s | character who fast track to endgame |
| 4256s | triggers my completion is second part |
| 4259s | yeah it's it's a little frustrating I |
| 4260s | agree um I I don't I don't think there's |
| 4263s | anything set up to to do that but I |
| 4264s | would appreciate it myself um second |
| 4268s | part what's with the Phantom optional |
| 4270s | quest in the ancient era I still see the |
| 4272s | icon after 100% of the game even after |
| 4274s | visiting the secret area in that era |
| 4276s | it's just a bug just a |
| 4279s | bug go north retrieve the Lance put your |
| 4285s | and here here come we have much to |
| 4289s | discuss much to |
| 4292s | discuss I should not have waited so long |
| 4295s | to come here I am stronger now I am |
| 4300s | ready to regain my honor all right uh |
| 4305s | what happens to our items in the bazaar |
| 4307s | for sale when a cycle refresh restart |
| 4309s | happens do they stay in the bizaar OR |
| 4311s | leg on Legacy or they move to the |
| 4312s | inventory they should just stay there |
| 4314s | I'm pretty sure |
| 4320s | farewell we don't have much you will but |
| 4324s | R is the larger threat |
| 4332s | freist yes but actually go do it |
| 4348s | oh this one saying the quest icons that |
| 4349s | show up are for the mon Quest I think |
| 4352s | those are different ones |
| 4364s | yeah I I think there's just like a |
| 4366s | bugged quest in there |
| 4385s | be my guess ell survivors |
| 4391s | win pro probably not branching out just |
| 4397s | yet here we go |
| 4400s | impossible nice nice double pick up |
| 4411s | of course Sil Cliff oh Hazel |
| 4415s | route uh I mean at least it's themed |
| 4418s | together nicely but uh come on give me |
| 4420s | some fire not |
| 4427s | lightning and all |
| 4432s | right Vance it's eternal all those Buffs |
| 4436s | stack up and it goes a little nutty love |
| 4450s | it all right why is the new cycle only |
| 4453s | lasting a month are we going are we |
| 4455s | getting a 1.2 on the 20th of October |
| 4458s | with the um there's no end date for the |
| 4461s | cycle there's an end date for the event |
| 4464s | that we posted so the the event being |
| 4467s | the extra like increase |
| 4470s | um all the all the temporary increases |
| 4472s | like the reputation gain increase and |
| 4474s | the um I think it was extra drops and |
| 4477s | things like that so like the those those |
| 4478s | temporary boosts those last am month um |
| 4482s | we we don't have any available |
| 4484s | information on the time for when 1.2 |
| 4487s | will |
| 4488s | release sorry would love to be able to |
| 4491s | tell you nothing |
| 4508s | yeah it's |
| 4511s | it's I I know it's a little |
| 4518s | confusing uh any plans to have a ladder |
| 4520s | for killing Abby or something like that |
| 4523s | uh you posted once how many kills or |
| 4525s | died to him in hardcore beginning of the |
| 4527s | cycle which was cool |
| 4529s | yeah um we are looking at at more more |
| 4532s | ladders more Dynamic ladders um there's |
| 4534s | there's a few different places that |
| 4535s | those are coming |
| 4538s | in um I want to do this but I got to |
| 4541s | take points out |
| 4542s | elsewhere we go up here for now |
| 4562s | are we getting tears for Idols or a |
| 4565s | better sorting |
| 4567s | system |
| 4571s | um they all they went exalted again |
| 4573s | that's |
| 4576s | nice I do like that it left a whole stat |
| 4578s | open there taxi I mean this is not |
| 4581s | terrible but it's yeah it's like a fire |
| 4583s | a Melee fire spell lightning uh it's a |
| 4587s | mess not what I wanted there it's fine |
| 4594s | though a I lost it it's too bad it's |
| 4600s | okay |
| 4604s | imposs impossible |
| 4616s | dude it's a lot of Vitality it's like |
| 4618s | where half our defense is coming from CR |
| 4622s | is really nice though can we can we |
| 4623s | craft this up a little |
| 4626s | bit just slap a bunch of Health on |
| 4639s | it |
| 4640s | yeah the crit avoidance is really nice |
| 4644s | so much health and endurance |
| 4648s | lost the flat crit is so |
| 4658s | strong right are we getting tear for |
| 4660s | Idols or better story system we we've |
| 4662s | been we've been talking about Idols a |
| 4663s | lot lately um there's nothing in the |
| 4667s | immediate immediate future on on |
| 4669s | changing how that that functions but |
| 4671s | there's there's we're definitely looking |
| 4673s | at how we can improve that system |
| 4674s | overall |
| 4680s | cuz |
| 4681s | there's there's some unfortunate stuff |
| 4683s | happening with them right now um it's |
| 4686s | kind of one those last bastions of ways |
| 4689s | to optimize builds and the tools to do |
| 4692s | that are not |
| 4699s | great uh have you already revealed what |
| 4701s | the 1.2 primordial uniques are by the |
| 4703s | way hopefully not an ancient primordial |
| 4704s | ideas from D3 surely um we've given zero |
| 4708s | information on the primordial uniques |
| 4710s | and and what that might eventually |
| 4726s | be all right thoughts on number of LP |
| 4730s | using an effect system similar to D2 |
| 4733s | magic rare mods less mods equals higher |
| 4736s | range yeah could be an interesting way |
| 4738s | to add flavor to low LP uniques versus |
| 4740s | chasing higher LP I mean the there's |
| 4744s | already a system for balancing like LP |
| 4746s | ranges against each |
| 4747s | other um from like from a like per |
| 4751s | unique |
| 4755s | standpoint um H having having the mod |
| 4759s | not come over fully I think would be |
| 4762s | confusing and feel real bad like you you |
| 4765s | you get situations where like a one LP |
| 4767s | item would actually be better than a 3 |
| 4768s | LP item if you could get the right mod |
| 4770s | over on it I I don't think that's I I I |
| 4774s | I don't think that's |
| 4777s | intuitive I think it's better just to |
| 4778s | have items that aren't legendary items |
| 4782s | that aren't like quite as good as other |
| 4785s | ones like having certain items be better |
| 4787s | than others is |
| 4789s | just how item systems work I don't know |
| 4795s | all right any plans to fix items not |
| 4796s | getting picked up when you click on them |
| 4798s | um if you're having a bug please report |
| 4801s | it to the bug places and we'll fix all |
| 4802s | the |
| 4805s | bugs I'm not experiencing this bug with |
| 4822s | you all right the events temporary |
| 4825s | increase reminds me of D 3 temporary |
| 4827s | doubling legendary drops for its |
| 4829s | anniversary everyone loved it so much |
| 4830s | they demanded it to be permanent and |
| 4832s | blizzard actually left it in the game do |
| 4833s | you anticipate anything like this |
| 4835s | happening with Le's temporary boss |
| 4837s | specifically faction reputation |
| 4840s | um I I think that there's always going |
| 4842s | to be uh a a call to to do something |
| 4846s | like this regardless of if we've done |
| 4847s | this or not |
| 4851s | um I think giving everyone a taste of it |
| 4854s | would be dangerous if if there was um if |
| 4857s | that was like never an option |
| 4859s | possibly but I I don't think there |
| 4862s | there's not there not something we're |
| 4863s | anticipating doing |
| 4875s | really all right uh is the steam de is |
| 4879s | the cycle refresh with steam deck |
| 4881s | verified improvements also when the new |
| 4882s | engine version comes no it's still in |
| 4884s | the old version |
| 4888s | we we we |
| 4891s | like just today actually uh well in 42 |
| 4897s | minutes we're we're officially switching |
| 4899s | over our internal development to the new |
| 4913s | engine new engine version I should say |
| 4915s | not new engine same engine new |
| 4925s | version which means all the stuff we |
| 4927s | developed for uh this update is in the |
| 4930s | old one |
| 4936s | still all |
| 4939s | righty uh is this midcycle character |
| 4942s | reset likely to become a regular |
| 4944s | currence I don't think so |
| 4947s | um I I'd be pretty |
| 4950s | surprised it's not impossible but |
| 4953s | not I don't think |
| 4958s | so I mean it goes well enough maybe I |
| 4961s | don't |
| 4966s | know it's it's it's a really hard I'm |
| 4968s | I'm thinking this more more like it's |
| 4969s | hard it's hard really hard to predict |
| 4970s | right |
| 4973s | um some things that you slaping the game |
| 4975s | temporarily you're like oh no one will |
| 4977s | actually like this but it's necessary |
| 4978s | now for a temporary thing and you got |
| 4980s | and it just like sticks and people love |
| 4981s | it and it grows and evolves some that |
| 4987s | happens uh any |
| 4990s | planes get that white Mana uh to remove |
| 4992s | one LP from nems it's not fun to put in |
| 4996s | uh zero LP and get a one LP we better |
| 4998s | just see a stat no we don't have plans |
| 5000s | for |
| 5002s | that um but as always if if You' like to |
| 5005s | make a suggestion please head on over to |
| 5006s | our suggestions forums and we will read |
| 5008s | it and assess it and consider it and all |
| 5010s | that sort of good |
| 5017s | stuff uh just out of curiosity was there |
| 5020s | ever a bug during development that |
| 5021s | became a feature for whatever reason oh |
| 5024s | I'm sure there was do I know what any of |
| 5027s | them are off the top of my head not even |
| 5029s | close um |
| 5036s | I mean okay uh the the the falcon dive |
| 5041s | bomb ability F Falcon's dive bomb |
| 5045s | ability is really similar and I think |
| 5048s | uses actually some of the same Tech as |
| 5051s | meteor |
| 5053s | um for when there was there was uh a |
| 5057s | mistake some someone was making a change |
| 5059s | to meteor and instead of spawning the |
| 5062s | meteor explosion when it impacts cuz |
| 5065s | meteors actually three abilities um that |
| 5068s | chain together and um like every |
| 5072s | individual meteor is three abilities and |
| 5076s | um the third part of that is the like |
| 5078s | the explosion and the shrapnel that come |
| 5080s | explosion which creates the shra it's |
| 5081s | actually four parts um |
| 5085s | and the the explosion got switched out |
| 5088s | for the wolf |
| 5090s | prefab um like the summon wolf prefab so |
| 5092s | it was like meteor wolf became a like a |
| 5094s | joke that was sitting around in our like |
| 5097s | in in the back end for quite a while um |
| 5100s | and what is dive bomb but meteor Falcon |
| 5106s | right that's the closest example I can |
| 5108s | think of but I know I know there's lots |
| 5110s | of other things that that's happened |
| 5121s | to uh I can't really think of any other |
| 5124s | this right |
| 5137s | [Music] |
| 5139s | now oh stiff and sore right now |
| 5142s | apparently |
| 5144s | [Applause] |
| 5156s | uh what are the new key or the key SL |
| 5158s | new features uh that the new engine has |
| 5160s | and what would be the benefits I mean |
| 5163s | the a lot of it is internal stuff for us |
| 5166s | um where there's like uh new new things |
| 5169s | we can do with it that are kind of |
| 5171s | subtle um but have performance |
| 5174s | implications um the biggest things that |
| 5177s | will be like player facing um probably |
| 5180s | fairly quickly is that it does give us |
| 5182s | access to dlss and FSI |
| 5185s | which is pretty nice |
| 5191s | um that's probably that's probably the |
| 5193s | most immediate |
| 5195s | thing and it'll be a little bit before |
| 5197s | that's actually implemented and pushed |
| 5198s | out as part of a build and everything |
| 5199s | like that y yada y but like you know |
| 5202s | that's that's a big part of why we're |
| 5205s | making that |
| 5207s | switch |
| 5212s | oh love the MDG reference yeah |
| 5218s | yeah was subtle but it was |
| 5221s | there uh are there/ will there be MTG |
| 5225s | hidden references in |
| 5228s | Le as someone who named like a couple |
| 5231s | hundred nodes early on |
| 5233s | in um in development and plays like |
| 5238s | enough magic that there's so many card |
| 5241s | names rattling around in my head I'm |
| 5243s | sure that accidentally I've named dozens |
| 5246s | of nodes just what Magik cards are um a |
| 5251s | lot on Mage |
| 5254s | probably I used I I I |
| 5257s | um do a lot of isit stuff so there's a |
| 5261s | lot of a lot of burn spells floating |
| 5264s | around in my head |
| 5269s | [Music] |
| 5275s | so not explicitly like here I'm going to |
| 5277s | put in a reference but just |
| 5280s | like it'll |
| 5291s | happen making a Miss Bumble flower deck |
| 5293s | right now very excited that sounds like |
| 5296s | a ridiculous sentence but going be so |
| 5299s | good |
| 5304s | we we play uh kingdoms uh an EDH variant |
| 5307s | that puts people on pseudo |
| 5310s | teams |
| 5312s | no |
| 5315s | yes perfect everything is fine no one |
| 5318s | freak out thanks Mike I won't freak |
| 5326s | out all right is it intentional that you |
| 5328s | lose your Knight's rank uh with your |
| 5330s | last hardcore character dying |
| 5333s | no that that's a |
| 5336s | bug uh a followup primel meteor wolf |
| 5339s | spell |
| 5341s | win call it like Primal |
| 5345s | Comet be cold damage can't be fire |
| 5351s | damage all right any plans for system |
| 5353s | like Rex cominging to the stash tabs we |
| 5355s | are |
| 5359s | um uh like Rex vaguely Maybe |
| 5366s | um I uh I think the the goal would be to |
| 5369s | make it a much more approachable system |
| 5372s | uh by |
| 5378s | default |
| 5385s | oo 18 gold |
| 5389s | rest who's ready to die a whole bunch |
| 5407s | impossible come on let's get berserk up |
| 5409s | ah it keeps |
| 5414s | falling Avalanche why do you hate me so |
| 5423s | much I know tried to have you deleted |
| 5425s | but come on is this any way to treat a |
| 5447s | friend zerk needs like an extra two |
| 5450s | seconds not even extra like half a |
| 5453s | second |
| 5459s | all |
| 5465s | right where we going are we jumping to |
| 5469s | the tundra thank you very much hey Rex |
| 5473s | thank you very much whoa Rex hey that's |
| 5475s | a lot of |
| 5477s | people hey |
| 5479s | everybody we are playing some last defo |
| 5482s | talking about the new announcement that |
| 5483s | just went out and uh having some fun no |
| 5486s | yeah if you have any questions please |
| 5488s | feel free to ask them please put at last |
| 5490s | teot game before the question if you'd |
| 5492s | like me to answer it and I'll be happy |
| 5494s | to right now I'm playing a I'm just |
| 5497s | leveling up my Raptor |
| 5501s | boy got lots lots to do still on |
| 5505s | him like go the right |
| 5510s | direction all right will we see a lot of |
| 5513s | bug fixes on reset yeah there's going to |
| 5514s | be there's going to be bug fixes in the |
| 5515s | reset um and what's the reason behind |
| 5517s | not making any balance changes since it |
| 5519s | can uh could be an opportunity to fix |
| 5521s | things and test them after the fix |
| 5524s | um I it's it's it's a very long |
| 5527s | convoluted thing to to to get into about |
| 5529s | why we're not doing any balance changes |
| 5532s | um I think we're not trying |
| 5535s | to I think we're trying to keep the |
| 5537s | scope low and the impact low on what's |
| 5538s | actually going to be happening here |
| 5541s | um we're not trying to push this as a a |
| 5545s | full-blown new um like a new a full new |
| 5549s | cycle a full new patch a full new like |
| 5551s | everything that we normally would put |
| 5552s | put into a major patch um the scope's a |
| 5555s | lot lower and significant balance |
| 5558s | changes there's there's so many that are |
| 5560s | tied to other ones is the big problem so |
| 5562s | like once we start doing we're like okay |
| 5563s | we got to fix this okay we fix that we |
| 5565s | got to fix this okay we got to fix that |
| 5566s | we got to fix this and there's just so |
| 5567s | many knock on effects that um it it |
| 5570s | starts to balloon outside of the scope |
| 5572s | of what we want for this it's kind of |
| 5573s | the short version |
| 5585s | impossible all right keep it rolling |
| 5588s | more |
| 5591s | questions |
| 5593s | um are you worried about the midcycle uh |
| 5597s | midcycle refresh further segmenting the |
| 5599s | remainder player base between Legacy and |
| 5601s | the minicycle it seems like there's a |
| 5603s | lot of players don't really want to |
| 5604s | start over for uh non- major release I'm |
| 5607s | concerned the division of players might |
| 5609s | make the game seem more Barren um it's |
| 5613s | possible uh I think the people that are |
| 5615s | still playing in the current cycle on |
| 5618s | like cycle there's there's not really a |
| 5621s | huge difference between playing on that |
| 5623s | cycle and playing in Legacy as it is now |
| 5627s | um because it's been going on for long |
| 5629s | enough that it's kind of just there's |
| 5632s | there's almost two Legacy Cycles |
| 5633s | happening at the same time to a degree |
| 5635s | just because it's been going for so long |
| 5639s | um so I think if you're really |
| 5641s | interested in |
| 5643s | um like in cycle as a gameplay |
| 5647s | mechanic uh you'll be you'll be happy |
| 5649s | for a reset and if you're more |
| 5651s | interested in just continuing to play |
| 5653s | the characters that you have I think |
| 5654s | most players should be fine with |
| 5658s | um with continuing to play with what |
| 5660s | they're playing on like without without |
| 5662s | jumping into the new cycle and starting |
| 5664s | over again CU you can just keep playing |
| 5665s | there's no there's no new feature |
| 5666s | segmentation between um cycle and Legacy |
| 5669s | so you will be able to have full access |
| 5671s | to everything that the cycle players |
| 5673s | have |
| 5675s | um so I think it's a it's a matter of |
| 5677s | like pros pretty significantly outweigh |
| 5679s | the cons even though it's not |
| 5689s | perfect all right any plans to make an |
| 5692s | exact perfect uh any plans on making an |
| 5695s | the exact perfect item I want drop every |
| 5698s | time I play coff only and refuse to use |
| 5700s | mg because I like to find my own gear |
| 5702s | absolutely as long as that item makes |
| 5706s | the game way harder for you to play cuz |
| 5707s | it's available right at the start of the |
| 5709s | game from a bear in a |
| 5716s | cave all right uh what is the most |
| 5718s | exciting thing about Imperial Uprising |
| 5720s | that you can tell us about um I mean |
| 5723s | it's all all in that everything is is in |
| 5724s | that uh that teaser or not teaser like |
| 5727s | the announcement post that went out |
| 5728s | really |
| 5731s | um |
| 5734s | h i what's what's I guess what's my |
| 5736s | favorite thing that went in into that |
| 5740s | post I think it's the loot lizards |
| 5743s | that's going to be I I I think that's |
| 5744s | going to be the best part |
| 5747s | personally yeah |
| 5759s | we did we did a few tests on them uh |
| 5761s | internally and they just immediately |
| 5762s | felt |
| 5764s | great like to to no one's surprise at |
| 5770s | all uh any plans on making uh the exact |
| 5774s | oh I answer |
| 5775s | that uh Unity question have you |
| 5778s | considered using unit toolkit after |
| 5780s | version upgrade I do not know um |
| 5784s | I'm I'm sure the people so there's |
| 5785s | people that are sort of that run the um |
| 5788s | engine management side of things for the |
| 5789s | for the project and I'm sure they've |
| 5791s | considered all of that |
| 5801s | stuff it's just more efficient to have |
| 5803s | people like really get invested in that |
| 5805s | decision and you know learn everything |
| 5807s | they can about it and make all those |
| 5808s | decisions from a very educated |
| 5810s | standpoint and have the rest of us be |
| 5811s | able to focus on more game specific |
| 5813s | implement a |
| 5816s | things |
| 5818s | impossible uh Mike D Bingo |
| 5823s | yay woohoo |
| 5826s | congrats uh when we will get unique |
| 5830s | armors to look like the unique tool tips |
| 5831s | yeah it's it's slowly slowly we're we're |
| 5833s | trying to get as many of these to happen |
| 5834s | as possible um it does take quite a |
| 5836s | while to do |
| 5839s | um we we it's it's the same same old |
| 5841s | story like we've we add more unique |
| 5844s | items faster than we can make unique |
| 5845s | models cuz adding a unique item stats |
| 5847s | wise and things is so much faster than |
| 5851s | um uh putting in the 3D |
| 5855s | models um so you know we're we're |
| 5859s | working on them it's it's a slow process |
| 5861s | we're going to keep doing |
| 5863s | them but this is this is not an uncommon |
| 5870s | request there's everybody woo how's it |
| 5875s | going might stay a little longer if |
| 5877s | people are got lots of questions from |
| 5883s | Rex any of you play on the steam deck |
| 5886s | that's probably actually the most what |
| 5887s | am I talking about greedy me over here |
| 5889s | with like my loot lizards the steam deck |
| 5891s | changes are probably the coolest |
| 5894s | thing uh any thoughts on new character |
| 5897s | class in the future oh yes um I mean |
| 5899s | there's there's no s shortage of like |
| 5901s | ideas for new character classes on the |
| 5904s | team and you know ones we want to do |
| 5906s | we're like oh it would be so cool to do |
| 5907s | this eventually we've left key gaps in |
| 5909s | the classes very intentionally already |
| 5912s | um so we like know that there's room for |
| 5914s | really specific changes to be made like |
| 5916s | and new class archetypes to to get |
| 5918s | brought in |
| 5927s | um yeah smooth all right |
| 5931s | um yeah there's there's some like some |
| 5933s | key key gaps in class fantasies that |
| 5935s | we've pretty intentionally left in place |
| 5937s | uh so that we can add new classes for |
| 5938s | them and then on top of that there are |
| 5940s | also some sub archetypes for existing |
| 5943s | classes that new masteries could fill |
| 5945s | really well as well um so yeah we we |
| 5949s | we've definitely been looking at that |
| 5950s | it's a ways out still we we there's a |
| 5952s | lot to do on existing classes before we |
| 5953s | actually Branch out with new ones but |
| 5955s | yeah definitely definitely in the works |
| 5957s | and there's there's different ways that |
| 5958s | can look and you know different paths we |
| 5960s | we've looked at that we're considering |
| 5961s | still |
| 5966s | any plans for dlss can't play the game |
| 5967s | now without it other resolution scaling |
| 5969s | might help as well yeah um not sure when |
| 5971s | you got here I was talking about this |
| 5973s | that's something that a new uh the new |
| 5974s | engine upgrade we are working on will |
| 5976s | enable us to do currently it is |
| 5979s | unavailable I desperately need cold res |
| 5981s | for this |
| 5984s | area |
| 5987s | desperately uh ever coming out on |
| 5989s | Console yeah it's it's a something we we |
| 5992s | are heavily looking for to um but we |
| 5995s | don't have any specific plans for or |
| 5997s | dates that we can share or anything like |
| 5998s | that um it's it's definitely an untapped |
| 6002s | Market that we know we need to expand |
| 6003s | into um there's a lot of things we are |
| 6005s | working on leading up to that that we |
| 6007s | that will just be nice carry-on features |
| 6009s | so a lot of the steam deck work we've |
| 6011s | been doing recently is um going to help |
| 6013s | us towards an eventual console release |
| 6015s | um all the controller updates we've been |
| 6017s | doing recently same sort of thing like |
| 6018s | there's a lot of stuff we're doing |
| 6019s | that's going to make it so we can do |
| 6021s | that eventually um |
| 6024s | as a studio um this would be our first |
| 6026s | console game so we don't have an |
| 6028s | existing relationship and like devkits |
| 6029s | and things like that that already |
| 6030s | prepped and ready to go um so there's |
| 6032s | there's there's a few fairly significant |
| 6034s | hurdles before we actually can do |
| 6035s | something like that but it's it's it's |
| 6037s | becoming more and more important as uh |
| 6039s | time goes |
| 6043s | on might be good chest |
| 6050s | though nice I managed to drop a frenzy |
| 6052s | totem before starting the berserk and |
| 6053s | just do so much |
| 6062s | damage some |
| 6065s | damage uh ever all right answer that |
| 6068s | what is the reason for the reset should |
| 6070s | we expect um what should we expect from |
| 6072s | the new event and we'll be seeing |
| 6074s | anything new besides the event um I mean |
| 6076s | so the we're we're looking to sort of |
| 6080s | refresh the cycle let people who want to |
| 6082s | start new can new um and we wanted to do |
| 6085s | that in the context of this event |
| 6087s | specifically so we can see the effect |
| 6088s | that it has um on on how people play the |
| 6092s | game and things like that uh all all the |
| 6094s | major stuff that that is coming with the |
| 6095s | event is um listed in the announcement |
| 6098s | so if you're if you're wondering what's |
| 6099s | coming check out the announcement um |
| 6102s | there's like bug fixes and stuff like |
| 6103s | that that come with basically every |
| 6104s | patch that's that's coming as well but |
| 6105s | you know like um there's no major |
| 6107s | balance changes or significant content |
| 6109s | updates that are that are left out of |
| 6110s | that announcement |
| 6123s | all right can we get alt the CF slmg |
| 6125s | faster I mean |
| 6128s | uh you should be able to pick your |
| 6131s | faction in the like the first |
| 6139s | town impossible |
| 6147s | and like if you need to if you need to |
| 6149s | access the um if you need to access the |
| 6152s | like the actual auction house like the |
| 6154s | bizaar or um prophecies and things like |
| 6156s | that like you can just switch other |
| 6158s | characters which I know is maybe not |
| 6159s | ideal for if you want to be interacting |
| 6161s | with that on the character you're on |
| 6162s | currently |
| 6174s | I know I know we've been talking about |
| 6175s | some more easy to use campaign skip |
| 6179s | jumps through |
| 6182s | uh through the campaign so yeah there |
| 6185s | might be some stuff |
| 6189s | there probably looking further in the |
| 6191s | future |
| 6195s | though |
| 6197s | impossible all right more |
| 6201s | questions uh can we get all right that |
| 6204s | why are they called cursed veterans |
| 6206s | boots uh when given the drop location |
| 6209s | you should have called that feature |
| 6210s | unbearable |
| 6216s | mode it's uh it's meant to indicate what |
| 6219s | they do really |
| 6221s | clearly um so if someone Picks Them Up |
| 6224s | by accident they see that they is a |
| 6225s | cursed item that's a pretty big |
| 6227s | indicator that it is something bad um |
| 6231s | and then it says veterans boots it's |
| 6233s | it's like it's trying to say like hey |
| 6234s | this is for someone who's really |
| 6235s | experienced at the game this is bad and |
| 6238s | it's for someone who's experienced if if |
| 6240s | you've never played the game before and |
| 6241s | you seen an item named like that it at |
| 6242s | least gives some sign posting without |
| 6244s | reading the actual item itself um cuz |
| 6247s | I've seen people just slap it on without |
| 6248s | reading it and i' I've seen people play |
| 6251s | with it sitting on their character for |
| 6253s | for a whole hour not realize that they |
| 6255s | had it and just get their ass handed to |
| 6257s | them and it definitely am not describing |
| 6258s | myself last weekend I swear |
| 6264s | yeah I forgot I had it equipped and was |
| 6266s | dying a bunch last stream but it was |
| 6268s | [Music] |
| 6269s | fine what am I putting points |
| 6276s | into or |
| 6278s | cry we coming down here really we're |
| 6280s | healing yeah that makes sense I |
| 6282s | guess should be finishing up these |
| 6284s | probably |
| 6296s | more questions I hunger for |
| 6299s | questions all |
| 6302s | right is there a feature from a |
| 6305s | different arpg that you would love to |
| 6306s | still get added to Le um |
| 6309s | yeah yeah I |
| 6313s | mean kind of a cough out answer have a |
| 6315s | better |
| 6315s | answer |
| 6320s | um Jesus Christ a lot of damage |
| 6329s | that stomp that he's like in the middle |
| 6330s | of the animation for is like devastating |
| 6345s | damage my master must not be |
| 6351s | freed yeah Frenzy |
| 6356s | berserk so good |
| 6358s | together tell me more moral Emperor on |
| 6361s | our |
| 6363s | journey another chapter |
| 6368s | down uh okay the feature is procedural |
| 6372s | procedural generation that's the I know |
| 6373s | it's like such an obvious thing but we |
| 6375s | don't have it we need it I know things |
| 6378s | are great if to be honest I can't |
| 6380s | imagine it but I will take your War |
| 6383s | warnings to |
| 6387s | Heart pretty sure that activate think |
| 6389s | Town one's activate as soon as you into |
| 6390s | the town now but walk over just in |
| 6396s | case uh why don't we get jerseys for the |
| 6398s | arena |
| 6400s | ladder why don't we get jerseys for the |
| 6402s | arena ladder like the like |
| 6404s | cfmg and will we get cycle titles for |
| 6406s | past achievements of top places in the |
| 6409s | ladder |
| 6410s | um I think if we if we start adding in |
| 6413s | uh in things for that yeah I'd like to |
| 6415s | see it be applied retroactively to some |
| 6424s | degree I don't know I don't it must be |
| 6426s | doable like we've got the data |
| 6434s | stored I don't know but if it's possible |
| 6436s | I will Advocate heavily for it it's |
| 6438s | about best I can |
| 6441s | do uh is there any plans to bring other |
| 6444s | team members from ehg for panel Q&A |
| 6446s | streams yeah yeah yeah yeah definitely |
| 6449s | um we've done we've done it a few times |
| 6451s | with like one person uh with me which I |
| 6453s | think worked really well cuz it was a |
| 6455s | specialized topic um I think I'd like to |
| 6457s | get VFX in here I think that would be a |
| 6459s | really cool one to talk to |
| 6462s | um possibly the composer as well I think |
| 6464s | that would be really interesting |
| 6475s | if any of you are watching let me |
| 6482s | know all right will these loot lizards |
| 6484s | drop any new uniques or item types um |
| 6488s | there's there's nothing o she I don't |
| 6490s | think there's anything exclusive to them |
| 6493s | returned with |
| 6494s | thewell now it shall bear my so there's |
| 6497s | you're not going to be like uh let me go |
| 6499s | farm loot lizards to to find this |
| 6501s | specific item I'm looking for to |
| 6502s | complete my build |
| 6505s | um it's more of like a oh piece of |
| 6508s | candy |
| 6512s | style down |
| 6517s | there Derek on stream yeah Derek would |
| 6519s | be |
| 6521s | great Derek if you're watching you want |
| 6523s | to come join |
| 6524s | me not right now I don't assume but |
| 6529s | yeah uh Warrior Barbarian Berserker CL |
| 6533s | class when yeah that's a pretty common |
| 6535s | request um that that that gets brought |
| 6537s | up as a like the fourth primalist |
| 6540s | suggestion pretty frequently |
| 6542s | um barbarians usually what people call |
| 6544s | it but yeah Berserker warrior class |
| 6547s | Warrior sometimes has that sword and |
| 6549s | board plate |
| 6551s | wielder vibe to it so probably wouldn't |
| 6553s | be called Warrior if we did something |
| 6555s | like that |
| 6557s | um personally I prefer the Barbarian |
| 6560s | Berserker type feel like a wild man |
| 6563s | Woodsman |
| 6566s | Huntsman type style but you know um we |
| 6571s | we haven't actually officially announced |
| 6572s | any specifics on what the first followup |
| 6574s | classes are going to |
| 6579s | be just a lot of |
| 6588s | speculation all right any plans for |
| 6590s | character customization in two genders |
| 6592s | yes yes we are we are still we are still |
| 6594s | planning that we're still working on it |
| 6598s | um it's it's not uh just around the |
| 6600s | corner type feature but um |
| 6607s | yes it's one of those features that for |
| 6610s | the people that it's important for it is |
| 6612s | crucial it is critical it |
| 6614s | is mandatory and for the people who uh |
| 6618s | for everyone else |
| 6620s | it's kind of whatever |
| 6624s | and there's there's people that don't |
| 6626s | fall into specifically those categories |
| 6628s | but generally that's when we see like |
| 6630s | new form post and new red post pop up |
| 6632s | it's so frequently like |
| 6635s | um like started off with a post that's |
| 6638s | like not having this means I won't play |
| 6640s | this game and a bunch of people being |
| 6642s | like yeah me too and that's insane or so |
| 6644s | the two reactions and I do not think |
| 6647s | it's insane at all um but those are the |
| 6649s | sort of the two camps that usually |
| 6650s | emerge from Posts like that um |
| 6656s | and for the people that really important |
| 6657s | for it it's a feature we want to deliver |
| 6669s | on uh how do you feel about the ward |
| 6671s | that bosses get after the implementation |
| 6673s | are you planning any changes or tuning |
| 6675s | we're always looking at tuning things um |
| 6678s | the I think the overall functionality |
| 6680s | for them is fantastic and they're doing |
| 6682s | it's doing EX what it's supposed to do |
| 6684s | um it's speeding up fights for low power |
| 6686s | builds it's slowing down fights for |
| 6687s | overpowered builds um like yeah it's |
| 6691s | it's it's hitting all the notes it needs |
| 6693s | to hit um I think the only thing is that |
| 6696s | there might be some like if |
| 6698s | think show no mercy like ways we can |
| 6701s | improve the presentation a bit |
| 6705s | impossible so it's more obvious that |
| 6707s | that's the effect it's having um not |
| 6711s | sure exactly how to do that yet but it's |
| 6712s | it's hit all the notes and um like |
| 6715s | there's there's you know whatever system |
| 6716s | we have in place there's always going to |
| 6717s | be um discussion on if it's as good as |
| 6721s | it can be right U that's to be expected |
| 6723s | and welcomed |
| 6726s | um I will say I haven't seen any other |
| 6730s | suggestions that |
| 6733s | um uh that don't cause bigger and worse |
| 6735s | problems than they're trying to |
| 6739s | solve doesn't mean they're not out there |
| 6742s | s seen any |
| 6745s | yet and I always encourage people if |
| 6747s | they've got ideas to share |
| 6755s | them hey we got some cheering |
| 6758s | happing Taste Of Ashes little little bit |
| 6761s | little bit cheer action thank you very |
| 6762s | much we do a stream for charity all goes |
| 6764s | up |
| 6769s | there all right |
| 6774s | uh you should bring D yeah art yeah uh |
| 6778s | maybe sometime in the future Mike come |
| 6780s | on look at the screen instead of chat |
| 6781s | what are you |
| 6783s | doing um maybe sometime in the future a |
| 6786s | class like Witch Doctor love that class |
| 6788s | in D3 and missing in D4 nothing like it |
| 6790s | in any other game yeah I think witch |
| 6792s | doctor is a really interesting um class |
| 6794s | because it doesn't really |
| 6797s | fit like you know the the The |
| 6799s | Necromancer Vibe and it's clearly |
| 6802s | distinct from that from like a thematic |
| 6804s | perspective so it's hard to fit in as an |
| 6806s | acolyte it almost fits in better as a |
| 6809s | like a primalist subass like a press |
| 6811s | Mastery um or something completely |
| 6815s | different |
| 6817s | um you know I I'm not going to give you |
| 6820s | any indication on like if it's likely or |
| 6822s | not likely type thing um cuz you know |
| 6825s | we're we're we're keeping the cards |
| 6827s | close to the chest on specific Mastery |
| 6830s | types um |
| 6833s | but you know like hitting hitting those |
| 6835s | class fantasies that maybe aren't |
| 6836s | delivered in in last Eck yet is |
| 6838s | something we are interested in doing and |
| 6840s | there's there's quite a few spaces that |
| 6842s | we've left gaps for pretty |
| 6845s | intentionally you can see that often |
| 6846s | represented by weapon types as well so |
| 6849s | like um there's no like I saw it |
| 6854s | happening |
| 6861s | uh there's no that really uses like fist |
| 6863s | weapons at |
| 6865s | all um there's no one that uses |
| 6873s | crossbows and there's there's other |
| 6874s | things too so it's there's definely |
| 6884s | room I summon my pet that like half my |
| 6888s | builds based around |
| 6898s | when I actually use my abilities right |
| 6900s | pretty |
| 6902s | strong funny how that works isn't |
| 6909s | it all |
| 6912s | right when will we see when will we get |
| 6915s | a VF a skill |
| 6916s | VFX when will we get a skill VFX also |
| 6920s | since we don't get sh uh |
| 6926s | also since we don't get Shard autoloot |
| 6928s | because they are items Shard VFX win |
| 6930s | well my inventory be full of |
| 6935s | M&M's |
| 6937s | uh |
| 6940s | no I I I'm a little confused by that |
| 6943s | whole whole sentence |
| 6947s | there don't lose your |
| 6951s | way like uh uh like skill MTX is that |
| 6954s | you're yeah okay it's probably skill |
| 6962s | MTX I'm trying I'm trying to lower the |
| 6965s | weight on on shards over here and you're |
| 6966s | suggesting we increase the weights on |
| 6977s | shards less |
| 6980s | awesome r |
| 6985s | Ste berserk to the rescue |
| 6989s | though ding level |
| 6994s | up all |
| 6999s | right uh reply boss War all right uh |
| 7003s | chicken runs for the |
| 7008s | win uh do you have a person who monitors |
| 7011s | the internet forums especially Chinese |
| 7013s | for any critical bugs and dupes |
| 7014s | affecting your players I mean yeah we |
| 7016s | we've got people that are constantly |
| 7017s | looking out for people posting out |
| 7019s | things about uh dupes and uh stuff like |
| 7022s | that is is |
| 7024s | is way higher monitored than normal |
| 7030s | discussions we can get ahead of any sort |
| 7032s | of dupes that is uh extremely valuable |
| 7048s | all right if we're talking about new |
| 7049s | classes there's one you can do then no |
| 7051s | one else can a traveler class Tendencies |
| 7054s | are based on Divine Imperial and ruined |
| 7056s | ears this is this is a cool idea uh they |
| 7058s | could get God and Emperor and orus |
| 7060s | blessings unlimited potential that is |
| 7062s | that is very |
| 7064s | cool |
| 7066s | um like almost almost like |
| 7069s | a like an unclass |
| 7088s | I think that would be a a fairly far |
| 7090s | future version once we've got most of |
| 7093s | the other |
| 7094s | uh the key archetypes in |
| 7097s | place are you planning on changes to the |
| 7099s | arena if so what would be the direction |
| 7101s | the changes might be yeah the we're |
| 7102s | we're we're looking at the arena as uh |
| 7105s | something that is quite dated at this |
| 7108s | point so yeah there's updates for the |
| 7109s | arena that are |
| 7116s | um like when we do a proper major patch |
| 7119s | probably being considered U much more |
| 7121s | heavily I would be looking at them |
| 7130s | um I think the big thing is the the |
| 7133s | arena is missing personally is access to |
| 7135s | interaction with a lot of the side |
| 7136s | mechanics that we put in place in the |
| 7137s | game especially Arena Echoes and the |
| 7139s | monolith um and then also uh the arena |
| 7145s | in general is too much of |
| 7147s | a um in a test of personal endurance as |
| 7151s | it is from character uh |
| 7154s | potential and I think that alleviating |
| 7156s | some of that would be really valuable |
| 7163s | there's a few different ways you can do |
| 7164s | that just from like um being able to |
| 7167s | have a little more control over the |
| 7168s | speed of wave |
| 7170s | spawning um like in the terms of like |
| 7172s | speeding it up and then also in in terms |
| 7175s | of just scaling rate probably can get |
| 7178s | looked at |
| 7179s | too this all long-term stuff though this |
| 7181s | is not do not expect this on the 17th or |
| 7183s | 19th sorry |
| 7195s | Impossible Run they're chasing us oh |
| 7203s | no nice you can hear you hear them land |
| 7206s | still after after it |
| 7211s | finishes I met skill MTX other sh was a |
| 7214s | joke okay cool |
| 7216s | awesome uh will there be an expansion I |
| 7219s | I say I take you too seriously is the |
| 7220s | problem sometimes |
| 7224s | um uh will there be an expansion of the |
| 7227s | number of rules of loot filter so you |
| 7228s | can make more detailed and easy to farm |
| 7231s | um |
| 7233s | unlikely uh I'd say this it's more |
| 7235s | likely that we probably continue to |
| 7237s | increase the |
| 7240s | um the power individual rules have um |
| 7244s | we're already pushing the limit with 75 |
| 7246s | rules per filter for um stability and |
| 7249s | performance |
| 7253s | so I wouldn't expect more rules but we |
| 7256s | are looking at ways to make it so you |
| 7257s | don't need as many |
| 7263s | rules hello let me |
| 7269s | through so walk around backwards |
| 7284s | more questions I'm sure you're sick of |
| 7287s | this question probably not uh but are |
| 7289s | updates to dungeons plan in the next big |
| 7291s | update or is that still a ways out um |
| 7293s | there's so there's there's a couple |
| 7295s | little things for dungeons that we are |
| 7296s | looking at for the next um the the cycle |
| 7301s | refresh um but the major changes that |
| 7303s | we're looking at for dungeons to really |
| 7304s | improve the overall functionality and |
| 7306s | like step dungeons up to the next level |
| 7308s | is is not going to is not going to be |
| 7310s | until the next major patch |
| 7316s | go back into the tower I never the tower |
| 7324s | possible |
| 7328s | impossible feel like I'm really |
| 7330s | overleveled for this I'm not I'm |
| 7331s | actually underleveled H it's a good |
| 7335s | sign |
| 7341s | impossible all right |
| 7343s | I'm waving now and forever All rights |
| 7346s | The Traveler class I just want to see it |
| 7347s | happen thank you very |
| 7353s | much uh who are you a community manager |
| 7356s | I am one of the senior Developers for |
| 7358s | 11th Hour games I've um been here since |
| 7363s | uh before Kickstarter um can't get rid |
| 7366s | of me no matter how hard they try no um |
| 7369s | yeah just a long time Dev uh for the |
| 7372s | game game and uh I do this stream every |
| 7376s | week |
| 7378s | um yeah I'm actually transitioning right |
| 7381s | now more design focused stuff um for |
| 7383s | some for a longer term project for the |
| 7386s | game which is it's it's tough cuz I'm |
| 7388s | like I want to talk about it so bad |
| 7390s | every day to everyone and I just |
| 7393s | can't |
| 7396s | known though I see her as |
| 7404s | but yes feel free to blame many bugs on |
| 7413s | Mew these waters |
| 7415s | are all right the traveler set |
| 7420s | sail your voice is luscious but I am |
| 7423s | going to have to skip |
| 7425s | it uh do you think you will ever add new |
| 7428s | eras or alternate eras to the Future ah |
| 7431s | um kind of like what if eras yeah I I |
| 7435s | mean so there's |
| 7437s | um that that's a little bit of what this |
| 7439s | is |
| 7441s | actually um sort of like what if twists |
| 7445s | on on on the eras so there's there's a |
| 7447s | little bit of that already but yes uh |
| 7449s | there's there is room for new eras to |
| 7452s | emerge um in in the in the game and like |
| 7457s | different you know it's a time travel |
| 7458s | game there's there's there's room for |
| 7459s | shenanigans |
| 7471s | uh regarding improving the power of loot |
| 7472s | filter rules um do we have plans for |
| 7475s | individual unique selection similar to |
| 7477s | how we can do with aexes there's nothing |
| 7478s | specific on the books for that um but |
| 7481s | it's not impossible and if you'd like to |
| 7482s | see it please go to the suggestions |
| 7484s | forums and put it there I don't actually |
| 7487s | take anything from the stream and like |
| 7489s | write it down and take it back after the |
| 7491s | stream and go okay here's all the things |
| 7492s | that were suggested for the stream no it |
| 7494s | as soon as I finish reading the question |
| 7495s | it's |
| 7498s | gone I'm sure there's a few things that |
| 7500s | sick in my |
| 7501s | subconscious |
| 7508s | [Music] |
| 7515s | impossible uh regarding Improvement or |
| 7518s | the |
| 7528s | uh you didn't actually answer but the |
| 7530s | skill MTX oh I'm sorry uh when can we |
| 7532s | expect them are you already working on |
| 7534s | them and can you tell us which skills |
| 7536s | are being worked on first um I can't |
| 7538s | tell you when when you should expect |
| 7540s | them you shouldn't I can tell you you |
| 7541s | should not expect them in the 1.1 cycle |
| 7544s | refresh event they will not be coming |
| 7547s | then um we have started working on them |
| 7552s | um um just |
| 7553s | barely and um I cannot tell you which |
| 7557s | abilities will be |
| 7559s | first uh I would because I don't I just |
| 7562s | don't know um but I would guess that |
| 7565s | abilities that are |
| 7567s | less um |
| 7569s | intensive and more popular probably have |
| 7574s | higher shots of being hit |
| 7578s | first and things that have really |
| 7580s | significant and really obviously awesome |
| 7583s | things that could go like like like |
| 7585s | adjustments that you're like it it just |
| 7588s | it's just so obviously great it fits so |
| 7589s | perfectly things like that would |
| 7591s | probably come in first um on things that |
| 7594s | are you know popular spells that are uh |
| 7598s | lower scope so like example of of scope |
| 7600s | differences like Fireball is |
| 7602s | dramatically lower scope than Werebear |
| 7604s | for for an MTX um skill NX |
| 7618s | hopefully it's |
| 7626s | Spacey all right I have a technical |
| 7628s | question I'll do my best |
| 7631s | but sometimes these do stump me um I'm |
| 7636s | using a skill which applies |
| 7637s | ignites uh is is the ignites |
| 7643s | I think it's |
| 7645s | damage yeah we switch the m and the g |
| 7647s | damage affected by my main attribute and |
| 7649s | if so how same question for minions um |
| 7652s | so yes indirectly and here's how um so |
| 7656s | if you if you let's let's let's look at |
| 7658s | swipe for a second um and we're going to |
| 7660s | use bleed instead of ignite cuz I have |
| 7664s | bleed I have |
| 7666s | bleed uh bleed here we go bleed chance |
| 7668s | 80% bleed chance whenever I attack so I |
| 7670s | I I apply bleed when I attack |
| 7672s | um great the damage that that bleed does |
| 7675s | is going to scale with uh a few stats |
| 7679s | most notably um increased physical |
| 7682s | damage and increased dot damage and |
| 7686s | increased bleed damage so like things |
| 7688s | that hit the um the tags that bleed has |
| 7692s | basically um if I'm applying that dot |
| 7696s | with swipe all the things that directly |
| 7699s | affect swip's damage in those C |
| 7702s | categories is is passed on to the bleed |
| 7705s | that it applies um so my my my man |
| 7708s | damage scaler for swipe as far as an |
| 7710s | attribute goes is strength right now so |
| 7712s | I get 80% increased damage um from my |
| 7715s | strength I 4% per Point um so um that |
| 7720s | that 80% increased damage from strength |
| 7723s | is converted like the strength converts |
| 7725s | to damage when I use Swipe so when I use |
| 7727s | Swipe that ability doesn't have strength |
| 7730s | that ability has increased damage that's |
| 7732s | calculated from swipe or from strength |
| 7735s | sorry and so when that swipe applies |
| 7737s | bleed that increased damage that came |
| 7740s | from strength originally is applied to |
| 7742s | the bleed because increased damage |
| 7744s | applies to bleed um so yes the attribute |
| 7748s | that of the ability the the scaling |
| 7750s | attribute of the ability that applies |
| 7752s | the ailment indirectly does get applied |
| 7755s | to that ail's |
| 7757s | damage hope that was informative and not |
| 7760s | horribly confusing if it is please feel |
| 7762s | free to ask again and I will try my best |
| 7764s | to make it more |
| 7771s | clear uh rough estimate on amount of new |
| 7774s | skills coming cycle 3 uh I I can't tell |
| 7779s | you I'm sorry oh |
| 7783s | Aon sorry Budd can't tell |
| 7786s | you come on pick up |
| 7796s | that one |
| 7798s | worked probably cuz it was three on a |
| 7800s | bunch it was actually only |
| 7802s | one just me being |
| 7808s | greedy that's |
| 7812s | okay uh please console release please we |
| 7817s | it's it's it's a little ways out still |
| 7819s | but it is on the horizon |
| 7822s | just in Horizon but you know like we're |
| 7825s | we're if we get closer we'll we'll have |
| 7827s | more info but for now it is just |
| 7830s | uh an exciting |
| 7837s | idea a lot of the stuff we're doing for |
| 7839s | the steam deck release is um helping a |
| 7842s | lot to prepare us for that cuz it's |
| 7845s | we're kind of treating steam deck like a |
| 7847s | console in in in a way |
| 7851s | it's like a soft semi |
| 7857s | console the amount of work that needs to |
| 7859s | be done to adapt |
| 7865s | it uh those eggs are bugged |
| 7869s | yeah okay |
| 7874s | sweet we do we do let's let's let's do |
| 7878s | it um eggs in Cor Coral Pools don't pick |
| 7884s | up and stop sparkling when you get |
| 7893s | them easy that's how easy it is to |
| 7895s | report a |
| 7897s | bug you were told not to come here yes |
| 7900s | it would be wise to leave the |
| 7907s | medium I should grab the other one |
| 7911s | uh do you plan on weakening classes from |
| 7913s | ballista level to ad average do you plan |
| 7917s | on weakening classes from ballista level |
| 7920s | to average in any way or will you go the |
| 7923s | route of strengthening weak classes |
| 7925s | instead of weakening strong ones um it's |
| 7928s | it's there's not there's not a one siiz |
| 7930s | fits-all answer to |
| 7932s | balancing um abilities classes against |
| 7935s | each other it's a very Dynamic process |
| 7937s | that requires Buffs and Nerfs um |
| 7940s | simultaneously to uh to individual |
| 7941s | skills sometimes like it's not it's not |
| 7944s | just a matter of like hey this one |
| 7945s | ability is too strong you should Nerf it |
| 7946s | this one ability is not strong enough |
| 7947s | you should buff it um there's lots of |
| 7950s | things that have to work together to |
| 7951s | make balance changes effective and I I |
| 7953s | don't think that a blanket policy of |
| 7954s | Buffs or Nerfs |
| 7956s | is generally appropriate um with last |
| 7960s | Epoch |
| 7962s | um so like we we're we're interested |
| 7966s | in um both Buffs and |
| 7969s | Nerfs as as we balance the game |
| 7976s | taking a balanced approach to |
| 7987s | balancing all right any discussion on |
| 7989s | future void minion please say |
| 7992s | yes I like a void like what what class |
| 7995s | could even have a void minion nicely |
| 8002s | guess void night but but like Forge |
| 8003s | guard's more the minion class Mastery |
| 8005s | for |
| 8013s | there I don't think we really have a |
| 8015s | class that fits void minion theme super |
| 8018s | well right |
| 8021s | now it would have to go on an item I |
| 8024s | think it's the only way it could really |
| 8026s | work |
| 8038s | impossible |
| 8043s | impossible Necromancer no it's it's it's |
| 8047s | um it's not void |
| 8050s | themed physical necrotic poison that's |
| 8054s | that's |
| 8055s | nekomancer I guess with some cold |
| 8058s | too the chill of the grave |
| 8064s | ailments explanation was okay I just |
| 8066s | wish to see it reflected on the ailment |
| 8067s | damage on the character sheet right now |
| 8069s | it's not yeah the problem there because |
| 8071s | it's different for every ability so if |
| 8072s | you have um say say I've got |
| 8077s | um yeah here we go so see I've got |
| 8079s | serpent strike on my bar and I'm I'm |
| 8081s | looking at the the the damage that |
| 8085s | um that serpent like the poisons applied |
| 8088s | by serpent strike and poisons applied by |
| 8089s | swipe will have different damage scaling |
| 8092s | based on the attribute because it's |
| 8094s | using a different ability to to |
| 8096s | translate that attribute into |
| 8102s | damage I have warned you again and again |
| 8106s | yet you |
| 8108s | persist if you wish for lon's temple to |
| 8111s | be your |
| 8112s | tomb then so be it you have avoid minion |
| 8115s | aics on weapons do we |
| 8118s | really oh I guess there's um |
| 8127s | and then I'm like wait a minute do we |
| 8128s | cut that |
| 8130s | uh |
| 8132s | shoot do do we have any void minion |
| 8134s | damage anywhere |
| 8142s | actually like like a like Minions that |
| 8145s | can use void damage abilities is that a |
| 8147s | dead stat |
| 8161s | I guess the only way to actually do it |
| 8162s | is to put void damage on a weapon and |
| 8165s | give that weapon to a forge guard and a |
| 8167s | and like so do you forge guard void |
| 8170s | damage I think it's the only way to do |
| 8171s | it by by transferring weapon damage to |
| 8178s | it so it's not completely dead |
| 8183s | it's it's it's there to complete the |
| 8184s | cycle and uh you know maybe it's hinting |
| 8188s | at something I guess I don't |
| 8198s | know all 51 I didn't even |
| 8202s | notice hold on this class |
| 8209s | ability let see frenzy totem yeah frenzy |
| 8213s | totem |
| 8216s | yeah |
| 8218s | okay |
| 8224s | yeah um probably down here yet go down |
| 8228s | there |
| 8229s | next |
| 8235s | sweet uh what are we doing |
| 8238s | passives we're up here going to |
| 8244s | here let's |
| 8257s | explore oh my goodness we are way over |
| 8260s | time this |
| 8262s | is this this is why we can't make such a |
| 8264s | good game cuz I just get enthralled with |
| 8265s | the game and I forget that I'm I'm |
| 8267s | streaming on a on a schedule where I'm |
| 8269s | going to end at a certain time |
| 8271s | got to get back to work guys don't tell |
| 8274s | my boss I'm |
| 8276s | slacking all right we we'll get to oh |
| 8280s | we're right here this is this long |
| 8282s | stretch with like LEF and lagon I I want |
| 8284s | to do it so |
| 8286s | bad I think we're probably have to cut |
| 8288s | out before |
| 8290s | that I'm going to leave this section for |
| 8292s | next time I might actually do this |
| 8293s | section offline but I I know people like |
| 8295s | seeing Lon |
| 8305s | we're going to answer a few last |
| 8306s | questions uh then we'll wrap it up here |
| 8308s | in a couple minutes so if you have any |
| 8309s | last second questions get them |
| 8314s | in all |
| 8317s | right we we are sorry um pan Saint we |
| 8321s | are still looking at improving the |
| 8324s | character sheet in general so that you |
| 8325s | will be able to see things like um that |
| 8328s | damage applied by like that specific |
| 8330s | what I'm talking like the damage from an |
| 8332s | ailment coming from different sources |
| 8334s | being different we do want to include |
| 8336s | that in the character sheet still so so |
| 8338s | um ability specific character sheet |
| 8340s | stats are um something we are planning |
| 8343s | to do |
| 8346s | um so I'm uh I I probably sound a little |
| 8349s | dismissive there on um adding something |
| 8352s | like that but it is something we are |
| 8353s | interested in doing just taking a little |
| 8357s | while uh do you think auras like Poe |
| 8360s | will ever be added to to Le uh in that |
| 8363s | they all classes have access to them |
| 8364s | probably not one of one of the big uh |
| 8367s | like design pillars that we have is |
| 8368s | class identity so there are actual |
| 8370s | mechanics that we really try to limit |
| 8373s | which classes they go on um and and have |
| 8375s | those tools be you know kind of like |
| 8377s | special as like especially gameplay |
| 8379s | mechanics um and so auras being are so |
| 8383s | heavily thematically tied to |
| 8386s | paladins um that they're the there's |
| 8390s | some light AA things that happen |
| 8392s | elsewhere like you like there's frenzy |
| 8394s | totem here and there's um like there's |
| 8397s | there's some damage AA things like um |
| 8400s | like fire AA and um melstrom and things |
| 8403s | like that and um or of Decay you know |
| 8406s | there's things like that that Branch out |
| 8407s | but the like typical like people near |
| 8410s | you on your team get buff XY z uh those |
| 8414s | those types of effects are probably |
| 8416s | going to be primarily focused around |
| 8418s | Paladin for a long time um not to say |
| 8420s | they can't bre out a little bit but |
| 8422s | that's the like Main Place they |
| 8431s | live you like how there's like the the |
| 8434s | down companions that you can resurrect |
| 8436s | are are strictly a a Beast Master thing |
| 8438s | or primalist thing I guess um there's |
| 8442s | there's individual mechanics we try to |
| 8444s | keep firmly fixed um on specific |
| 8450s | classes that was a that was a sizable |
| 8452s | chunk of the hell health |
| 8455s | bar uh you have a void that yes check |
| 8459s | your |
| 8459s | shards uh what's the function of the red |
| 8464s | paths that you need a key |
| 8468s | to look at the map I think we're talking |
| 8470s | about |
| 8475s | um like like these ones |
| 8479s | here um I think this is what you're |
| 8482s | talking |
| 8484s | about red passing yeah I'm assuming this |
| 8487s | what we're talking about so this is um |
| 8488s | this is a |
| 8490s | dungeon um and so there's there's three |
| 8492s | dungeons in the game right now and each |
| 8495s | one of the dungeons has a fixed extra |
| 8498s | mechanic that you get when you go into |
| 8499s | the dungeon um and then it has a boss |
| 8503s | that you have to um |
| 8515s | uh the there it's boss you have to fight |
| 8517s | and then once you finish that there's a |
| 8518s | special unique reward for the dungeon |
| 8520s | you get um like this is how you combine |
| 8522s | unique items and exalted items to make |
| 8524s | legendaries um as an example and then uh |
| 8527s | it also pumps you out further in the |
| 8529s | campaign so it's a campaign skip |
| 8530s | mechanic as well and that's the that |
| 8532s | that piece of it is something that we |
| 8533s | are really trying to make uh better cuz |
| 8535s | right now it's not really doing its job |
| 8537s | well enough |
| 8539s | yet um and someone just reminded me as |
| 8541s | well that uh sigils of hope uh can be |
| 8545s | used to can be converted to void and |
| 8548s | then cast on minions so you can add void |
| 8550s | damage to Minions that way thanks |
| 8561s | carve all right does Main attribute |
| 8564s | affect minions damage the same way it |
| 8565s | woulds a skills also does uh does this |
| 8568s | pass on ailments that minions apply um |
| 8571s | so minions you can like so if you're |
| 8574s | ever wondering what an attribute is |
| 8576s | going to do for an ability all you have |
| 8578s | to do is mouse over that ability and um |
| 8583s | hold alt and it will tell you exactly |
| 8584s | what it's going to do um so |
| 8587s | for |
| 8589s | um for my for my I guess you have to do |
| 8592s | it with I'm like why is this not |
| 8594s | right here we go that's right when |
| 8598s | you've got the the minion summoned it |
| 8599s | will show you what it's doing to the |
| 8601s | um activated ability but if you look at |
| 8603s | the actual base ability it will show you |
| 8604s | what it does to the minion itself um so |
| 8607s | strength right now is granting me the |
| 8609s | same damage increase on my pet on my |
| 8612s | minion so the Raptor gets that same 80% |
| 8614s | increased damage so um this is applied |
| 8617s | exactly the same to Raptor elements um |
| 8621s | Raptor has 80% increased damage from my |
| 8623s | strength um which means that any |
| 8625s | ailments that the Raptor applies get 80% |
| 8627s | increased damage because the Raptor |
| 8629s | itself has 80% increased damage so the |
| 8631s | Raptor doesn't have attributes itself |
| 8633s | the the attributes on minions don't |
| 8634s | actually do anything but when you summon |
| 8637s | a minion your attribute stats get used |
| 8640s | to make that minion better um so the |
| 8643s | strength that you're that you have makes |
| 8645s | your uh makes your Raptor stronger and |
| 8647s | your Raptor does more damage and the |
| 8648s | Raptor bleeds that it applies and other |
| 8650s | elements does more damage as well also |
| 8653s | they get bunch more Health as |
| 8658s | well uh will there be a video explaining |
| 8660s | the coming event SL update probably not |
| 8664s | um there's there's like a few details on |
| 8667s | some some of the some of those um |
| 8669s | options in the announcement but like the |
| 8672s | uh the bulk of the information's |
| 8680s | there like there's some specifics I I I |
| 8683s | would assum I don't know but I would |
| 8684s | assume there's going to be some posts um |
| 8687s | going into some more specifics on what |
| 8690s | um |
| 8691s | some of those things mean like I know |
| 8693s | the stash one people are kind like what |
| 8695s | does that mean stash priority system |
| 8701s | um did we talk about that |
| 8709s | already um it's going to it's going to |
| 8712s | dramat dramatically reduce the amount of |
| 8713s | time you spend at your stash each time |
| 8717s | um |
| 8721s | and it's exactly what everyone thinks it |
| 8726s | is haha you're off your spot deal with |
| 8731s | it a gambled and lost |
| 8751s | sure now you're over |
| 8758s | here let me build up berserk Stacks come |

| 9050s | first stream I think it be sweet Jed |
| 9052s | always comes with |
| 9054s | uh he always see he always seems to have |
| 9056s | some extra spoilers that leak out which |
| 9058s | is which is a good reason to ask for |
| 9063s | him jud's the game director in case |
| 9065s | anyone doesn't |
| 9068s | know uh at least Kyle again yeah i' I've |
| 9071s | asked Kyle to come again um I'm down for |
| 9074s | other people yeah let's get more people |
| 9076s | let's get more guests |
| 9078s | on uh I've never understood one thing |
| 9080s | why do you prohibit players from freely |
| 9082s | move to freely move between factions um |
| 9085s | why these restrictions on wearing things |
| 9087s | received in one faction or another for |
| 9089s | example a person plays the first weekend |
| 9090s | cuf Guild then wants to participate in |
| 9092s | the trade continues to farm but cannot |
| 9094s | do it because they're tied to the guild |
| 9095s | and cannot wear them in the other guild |
| 9098s | um these these are two distinct and |
| 9102s | separate play styles that we want to |
| 9104s | offer to our players um these are not |
| 9106s | two halves of a single system they are |
| 9109s | they are two separate systems that we |
| 9110s | want you to pick one or the other um |
| 9112s | we're saying if you if you want trade |
| 9114s | play trade if you don't want trade don't |
| 9115s | play trade um the ability to switch is a |
| 9120s | fail safe for if you regret your |
| 9122s | decision and you don't want to have to |
| 9123s | roll your character it is not an a |
| 9125s | mechanic to be used inside of a larger |
| 9127s | system hope Hopey I giv a little insight |
| 9129s | into the the intentions here so it's not |
| 9131s | a restriction It's actually an extra |
| 9137s | Freedom uh please more Cosmetics that's |
| 9139s | the question |
| 9141s | sure uh what boss do you like fighting |
| 9144s | the most I really like fighting lag gon |
| 9146s | it's one of my favorite bosses |
| 9154s | um I know sounds ridiculous everyone |
| 9156s | hates Lon it's I don't know I really |
| 9157s | like it |
| 9161s | um yeah I'm going to go with |
| 9163s | that can't think of a better |
| 9166s | one uh right last question I think a lot |
| 9168s | of the desire for campaign skip isn't n |
| 9170s | the entertainment value but the value of |
| 9172s | Loot and progression versus getting to |
| 9175s | monoliths I mean yeah so this this this |
| 9177s | the age- old thing is it's it's you're |
| 9179s | not asking people are sometimes not |
| 9181s | asking for a campaign skip they're |
| 9183s | asking for a I I want to level faster |
| 9186s | like and and so I think that's the the |
| 9188s | key difference in the |
| 9190s | conversation um and on that horrible |
| 9193s | disappointment is time to end hopefully |
| 9195s | that's not a trademarks phrase |
| 9199s | anywhere thank you for coming out I had |
| 9201s | a wonderful time I hope you did too I'll |
| 9202s | be back same time same place next week |
