25s	I'm back playing my frozen orb
29s	Fireball sork
32s	really had a little help revamping a bit
34s	so we've we've we've upped our game as
35s	far as our gear is concerned and we've
37s	oh we're taking a bunch of stuff uh
41s	we're just we're just mashing it all
42s	together having some fun our resistances
44s	are still a little shoddy uh but we'll
46s	work to shore those up as we go here
50s	it's your first time here
52s	please be welcome hang out we stream for
54s	charity all of our money from the

64s	which is great and uh if you have any
67s	questions please feel free to ask them
69s	in chat and put on at last Epoch game at
71s	preceding your questions so I can see it
73s	quick and easy
77s	um and then we do we do have a couple
80s	I do have a specific
82s	build that I'm actually following right
83s	now
85s	roughly I'm mostly following it
89s	but I'll post it in chat so you can see
90s	what I'm doing
92s	because I don't think the
94s	build planner link is set up properly
97s	because I forgot to do that
99s	but we're gonna go
101s	look for I think
104s	I think the poison res from Reign of
107s	dragons
108s	so we're gonna try and we're gonna try
109s	and accomplish that
111s	it's our first goal
116s	okay
117s	with that out of the way how's everybody
119s	doing this week
121s	we got Halloween coming up oh this is a
124s	perfect opportunity to dress up and I
125s	forgot
127s	is this the Halloween stream
133s	foreign
135s	we always have this on hand it's always
136s	nearby
173s	my magical B wand is bien
179s	it's okay though
181s	we've got an antenna to make up for it
186s	lovely all right
189s	I'm gonna start easier and see if we
191s	finish this off in the easy mode
195s	let me look at some questions here I'm
198s	taking this seriously
200s	huh
203s	how's it going everybody
206s	hi Aaron nice to see you
211s	okay
212s	how's our how's our survivability here
215s	we we're still doing this
222s	hectic
224s	you know one of the big differences now
225s	in this build is we really have a lot of
227s	leech
229s	which is uh providing us a lot of Health
230s	back which is great I think those big
233s	things I was missing before
236s	um
239s	still a classic bunch of fireballs gotta
242s	love it
246s	our loot filter is not good
250s	that's okay new patch when when it's
252s	ready
253s	[Music]
254s	can you show any spoiler about how cold
258s	death animations or Arrow attacks look
260s	now
261s	um I don't have anything specific for
264s	that ready to go
266s	um
267s	but I we might be able to get something
269s	soon for that
271s	um
275s	like I know we have new things like
278s	there are new effects there that we do
280s	have ready
282s	um
282s	I still have any Clips prepared for it I
284s	do have a clip today though
294s	did I give a how are you now there
297s	Rafa's gaming clan
301s	how are you now good and you not so bad
306s	uh all right you could have dressed a
308s	certain tie that's scary
311s	yeah oh
313s	shirts and ties no thank you
326s	okay
331s	so it's for remake when I mean it's
333s	pretty sweet I'm having a ton of fun
334s	with it myself I don't think it needs a
336s	remake there's a few key things that I
338s	think could uh could use some love
340s	specifically just
342s	um teleport honestly
344s	I think that's I love shooting really
346s	far though like this
364s	suckers
369s	all right
371s	this is the foreshadowing to buff
373s	certain B unique items I mean I think
376s	that the some of the bu unique items
378s	might be
381s	ah
384s	I don't know let's do that actually
389s	development on B related content is not
392s	over
394s	there's a vague statement about it ah
396s	hello Falcon out yet no Falconer will
398s	come with 1.0 along with warlock and
401s	Rune master
402s	the other way a little bit for those but
405s	um they'll be really good so it'll be
406s	worth it
408s	fix the dragon with a Loot drop at the
410s	delay yeah it's frustrating isn't it
412s	what happened to us last uh last stream
414s	actually I left as the loot was dropping
418s	uh all right is there a plan is the plan
422s	still currently to have 0.9 released
424s	before the end of the year I mean that's
426s	the that's the hope there's always the
428s	Hope it'll release tomorrow but it won't
430s	um so we'll see what happens we're just
432s	uh
433s	getting all of it done as soon as
435s	possible we really have no specifics on
437s	timelines for anything right now it's
439s	just as soon as possible and when it's
440s	ready but literally when is blank as
443s	soon as possible whenever it's ready
446s	um
453s	lizard hello how are you welcome with
456s	your rating party I did see that at the
457s	start I was just off camera at the time
459s	but welcome and welcome everyone that
462s	came with you
464s	does Ichi plan to limit some
466s	interactions for the co-op environment
468s	for example with uh
472s	which
476s	for example with minion glitch has
477s	access to dead oh um as you were saying
481s	uh death seal 300 more million damage
484s	but doesn't have access to dread shade
485s	from necro another way around with Co-op
488s	it seems the minion focused party will
490s	be able to use both any thoughts yeah I
492s	think this falls into the category of a
494s	well-coordinated uh group should be able
498s	to be a little bit more effective than
502s	um solo players or a well-coordinated
505s	group will be more effective than a
507s	poorly coordinated group you know like
508s	there are in intrinsic synergies for
510s	playing together and being able to
512s	coordinate your group based on the fact
514s	that you're playing together I think
515s	it's a
516s	um a a good thing to have in the game
519s	and and as always if there's anything
521s	that's like degenerate combinations
523s	causing problems with
525s	um
526s	overlapping Buffs like that there's a
529s	possibility that we may look at
531s	um
533s	uh combining two Buffs into one so they
534s	share a slot for example uh something
536s	like that we could do if if this
539s	specific situation was very much out of
542s	hand one possibility of something we
543s	could do is
545s	um have that the effect that both of
548s	those provide be a specific named buff
551s	so turn it into an ailment and give it a
554s	specific effect
557s	that makes any sense so it's like um
558s	like how you can't have two instances of
560s	haste at the same time so we can put
562s	haste in a lot of places but if haste
564s	didn't exist it was all just increased
566s	movement speed
567s	um then you can stack them up and it
568s	would go crazy so what we can do is we
570s	can force things not to stack by giving
571s	it a specific name so if it if it's
573s	going to come down to
575s	um
576s	testing and is it a problem in in proper
579s	applications of it if it's
581s	um not crazy over the top uh or not like
585s	significantly more powerful than
586s	everything else and the obvious right
588s	choice you know that sort of thing then
589s	yeah it's it's unlikely that we would
591s	change it it's also
593s	um important to note I think that things
594s	that are
596s	like good and useful and functional on
599s	your own when you're playing solo and
600s	then they get even better when you play
602s	multiplayer are are probably really good
605s	and positive to have so we don't want
606s	people to be forced to respect in
608s	between
609s	so especially one thing that we wouldn't
611s	want to do is make it so the
613s	um like you have your your multiplayer
615s	builds
617s	that was
619s	um like just completely unplayable
622s	literally not as a jokingly completely
624s	unplayable but actually completely
626s	unplayable solo
627s	um
629s	as like a top top tier uh multiplayer
634s	builds character but really awful solo
638s	that's the sort of thing that we would
640s	like to avoid being ubiquitous so I
643s	guess what I mean there is just like
645s	um it's fine if that happens sometimes
647s	but
649s	um because the respect system isn't
651s	instant there's a little bit of pressure
653s	to have that not happen everywhere that
656s	makes any sense
664s	I saw a sweet clip of someone using the
668s	um uh the mortars to the towers to like
672s	kill them with retaliation damage I I
675s	thought that was really really really
676s	cool they just like go into the echo or
679s	the start have pop up all their defenses
681s	retaliate kill I thought that was cool I
684s	liked it
686s	I look cute oh thank you
689s	happy to be here
697s	oh MC Magic asks do you think we'll get
699s	a heads up to release time once it is
702s	decided would really suck to have less
704s	than a week's notice yeah as soon as we
705s	actually have a
708s	um you're not as soon as but we don't
711s	have even an internal release timeline
713s	yet so there's there's not like there's
714s	a date that I'm not sharing or anything
716s	like that
717s	um
718s	and especially because it has been quite
720s	a while and it is such a big uh patch I
723s	I can see there being a little bit more
725s	lead up than usual
727s	um
729s	but I'm not I'm not sure the exact how
731s	that's gonna roll out it's gonna happen
732s	we we do try and give as much notice as
734s	we can
735s	um and more than once I found out a
739s	release date by the um the public
741s	announcement of something
743s	I've been like where did we decide on
744s	that and they're like oh this morning
745s	like oh great
749s	um like we we try not to hide these
750s	things hey it's sort of like we decide
753s	and then we tell you
759s	and usually comes down to what's the
761s	absolute earliest we can get this out
771s	we've got a while still I I know people
774s	are like really anxious and there's just
777s	a lot to do still and um I know people
779s	are under NBA for the uh for multiplayer
782s	testing but if they could talk I'm sure
784s	they would say that while it's going
786s	with I don't put boards in their mouth I
788s	probably shouldn't say this what I think
789s	about the multiplayer is that it's going
791s	really well but there's a lot of stuff
792s	to do still
794s	um
795s	and releasing that would
797s	not be a positive uh experience
812s	all right hello
815s	are there going to be some set upgrades
818s	since the vast majority is garbage I
821s	mean yeah so set items in um if we're
823s	talking about like late game builds Peak
825s	power options and and Min maxing sort of
828s	thing yeah they're they're very rarely
830s	used and even in leveling builds they're
834s	um
835s	Niche let's call them
837s	um I I would say that there's
839s	um some general changes coming to a few
841s	of them but there's not sweeping changes
842s	that are planned as of yet
846s	um we haven't done the major balance
848s	pass 4.9 yet as well like we've been
851s	doing we've been doing things we've been
852s	um
854s	going through and making sure that there
856s	are we've we've done we've done an audit
859s	of every single ability passive item
862s	but literally everything that can change
864s	the way your character plays in any way
866s	we've done an audit of
868s	um both in terms of bugs uh wordings
872s	um everything so this is like
875s	um all sorts of stuff that are just
877s	getting fixed and in some cases that's
879s	gonna improve things
880s	um as far as power goes because you know
882s	there's like a bug that no one noticed
883s	because you can't really tell that it's
884s	happening or not
886s	um
886s	there's quite a few of those actually
888s	and uh yeah
892s	set items uh fell under that but also we
896s	haven't done the balance pass yet
897s	because not all the systems are
899s	implemented So like
900s	um dungeons aren't implemented yet in
902s	multiplayer uh not not fully and they
904s	are uh hopefully right around the corner
907s	now
909s	um
911s	they're like
912s	they're pretty close they're very close
914s	and um so like we don't even know how
917s	multiplayer balance in dungeons
919s	is at all yet because like maybe there's
922s	some set that's unbelievable in
923s	multiplayer dungeons we just don't know
924s	about it yet there's not but like
927s	um until even the features are
928s	implemented for multiplayer it's hard to
930s	even look at it from an overall balance
933s	perspective we can look at it from a
934s	single Cloud balance perspective but not
936s	both simultaneously so we need to have
937s	the features before we can balance them
939s	really
945s	good morning sir heck how's it going
960s	you don't forget to put Atlas default
962s	give me the question and I'll see it but
963s	I see this one how often do patches come
965s	out in your internal testing
966s	um so it depends there's different like
968s	levels of internal testing I want to say
971s	um
972s	like there's there's if you're in in the
975s	development editor
977s	um
978s	extremely frequently like multiple times
981s	a day technically I guess you could call
982s	it
983s	um we do also have a nightly build
986s	environments uh that QA Works in and
988s	then we have a
991s	um
993s	like our CT patch environment
997s	um that's usually every couple weeks I
999s	think right now
1001s	um and then we do hot fixes in there too
1002s	that are more frequently
1004s	um
1006s	but they're very they're very they're
1008s	they're not really like full patch
1009s	releases they're very haphazard by
1011s	comparison to our full patches
1013s	um
1016s	I guess it might be the wrong word
1017s	streamlined
1022s	there's less price like we we take less
1025s	time and Care making sure that the build
1027s	releases that are going out to CTS
1029s	um and even less so as you come further
1031s	down that list are completely bug free
1033s	and solid like uh so we spend less time
1036s	testing going over them but we do a full
1037s	major patch release like 4.9
1040s	um
1040s	there will probably be a couple weeks
1043s	between when we when we lock the code
1045s	base and release when we're just doing
1047s	like testing and minor bug fixing only
1068s	yeah oh did you come to a conclusion
1072s	with mass market system I remember that
1074s	you have told that you wanted a bizarre
1076s	system but that was decline yeah a long
1078s	time ago we were not a lot a while ago
1080s	we were
1081s	um proposing a bizarre style system that
1084s	we have since scrapped based on
1087s	um for the discussions we had uh looking
1089s	at other games that use systems related
1092s	to it um Community feedback General
1094s	testing like just just things that we've
1097s	we looked we looked into it more and
1098s	more and more and realized that it
1100s	wasn't a great
1101s	wasn't what we were going for I think it
1104s	could have worked really well for
1106s	um for a game it would have just changed
1107s	how the game played and it wasn't what
1109s	we were
1110s	aiming for really
1113s	um as far as like a mass market system
1118s	um I I it's kind of hard to describe
1121s	what that is and and details about what
1123s	trade's gonna be so there's no details
1124s	about what trade I can give you right
1125s	now the only thing I will say is the
1126s	same thing I've said before which is
1128s	um if the goal that you're hoping for of
1131s	the the play style you're hoping for is
1132s	to be able to play the market
1135s	um and have it be a
1137s	a primary function that you're doing is
1140s	playing the market and like you'll uh
1143s	you you probably won't have a great time
1146s	in our trade system if that's your goal
1148s	like if you're like oh I want to just
1150s	log on and and just do some trading for
1152s	for a few hours and nothing else
1155s	you're gonna have a really tough time
1156s	doing that
1163s	or uh primary gameplay
1166s	that we're focusing on is this right
1168s	here is going out and killing monsters
1171s	um that's that that's that's unchanged
1173s	so no that's new information
1177s	at least I hope it's not it shouldn't be
1184s	so crazy how slow that is that that warp
1187s	there as soon as the the
1188s	um Echo ends in multiplayer is so fast
1192s	and I love it like you can get through
1194s	the portal before the portals even
1196s	visually on screen
1199s	it's great
1202s	of the many skills that have been called
1205s	did you ever have to call a personal
1207s	favorite thematically
1210s	um
1213s	no
1221s	I'm trying to think like there's
1222s	different levels of Cults like sometimes
1223s	there's there's some that have like come
1225s	close that have never actually seen the
1226s	light of day that we've called
1229s	um
1232s	uh and so some of those were pretty
1234s	great
1235s	um but yeah I know there's nothing
1236s	that's that was ever like uh oh I really
1240s	really want this that was in the game
1242s	and uh
1245s	I had to get pulled out like there's not
1247s	a lot of skills in that category really
1248s	there was there's um fire Aura which got
1250s	converted to a triggered ability
1253s	um
1256s	there's Boreal Wrath
1259s	that's a deep cut if anyone remembers
1261s	that
1262s	glad you played the kickstarter build
1264s	um which was a primal stability that's
1266s	that's basically just in place Fury leap
1270s	um
1274s	like it's fearly but you don't move
1276s	it was kind of cool
1279s	um
1282s	uh Thicket blades that was another
1284s	Primal stability
1286s	um
1287s	it basically just sets up an AOE
1289s	retaliation on you like a like a stance
1291s	or a stance
1293s	um
1296s	trying to think of other abilities have
1298s	been cut
1299s	uh healing wind another Primal stability
1301s	got moved on to the activated ability
1303s	for spriggan summon spriggan's activated
1306s	ability
1307s	and a lot of Primal stabilities got cut
1311s	it's the older classes really
1317s	does anyone else oh the stances yes
1319s	thank you guys don't say does anyone
1320s	else know of an ability got cut
1323s	um I did I did enjoy the stances
1325s	um I think it's a cool play style and
1327s	I'd still like to see something
1329s	um like a stance dance ability get made
1332s	somehow I'm not sure the best way to do
1334s	it so that it's fun
1336s	um one of my one of my friends played a
1338s	lot of Udyr in League of Legends
1341s	um and several versions of uh of stance
1344s	abilities that we looked at were um
1348s	tried to kind of emulate that gameplay
1351s	style a little bit
1354s	um and you can kind of get close to it
1356s	actually with with the transform system
1358s	because you can go from form to form a
1360s	little bit
1361s	um so you can kind of get a little bit
1362s	like a little bit a little bit of that
1363s	feeling here and there
1367s	what else what other abilities do people
1369s	remember that were cut
1376s	let's go boot up let's go boot up an old
1378s	builds let's go build a bit of 0.45 and
1380s	see what's there
1384s	gross
1394s	I want to say ice storms but it keeps
1395s	finding its way back in the game yeah I
1397s	don't it's it is a uh
1399s	uh it's like the Cockroach of abilities
1403s	it just keeps
1404s	time and somehow who knows how
1420s	foreign
1422s	yeah it's it's funny there's sometimes
1425s	there are
1427s	um abilities to get pitched or just
1428s	abilities that make it into the game we
1430s	don't even notice where like
1432s	um you can just like build a law
1435s	character sometimes and you're like
1437s	whoops
1440s	um
1441s	we're we we recently
1446s	I mean we're still in the prototyping
1448s	stage for it but one of the abilities
1449s	that we're
1451s	that we we're not even not even not even
1453s	into prototyping it we're still in like
1454s	early design stages with with warlock
1456s	but one of the abilities in there has
1460s	um someone pointed out that you're like
1461s	this is a reskinned ability of so-and-so
1463s	in law and we're like oh my God it is
1466s	how did that happen
1471s	see it happens sometimes
1476s	sometimes it just comes from like you
1478s	played a lot of this other game for a
1480s	long time and when you design an ability
1482s	it like just
1484s	it's just like oh I've had fun doing
1486s	something somewhere playing this style I
1489s	want to make that style happen again
1492s	it just kind of happens by mistake
1493s	sometimes it's pretty cool
1498s	I don't know that's T1 or ti do I watch
1500s	I don't know what that is do I watch TI
1502s	or T1
1504s	TL
1505s	this is how little I watch it I don't
1508s	know what that is
1509s	[Laughter]
1517s	j4 Karen pal yeah yep yep there's
1520s	there's flag and drag and spin to win
1525s	you bought the game
1527s	a month ago 250 hours that's a lot of
1531s	time playing that's a lot of time I'm
1532s	glad you're having fun
1542s	we're doing pretty great here with with
1544s	uh damage I think we could even bump up
1546s	to a higher difficulty or we could
1547s	probably go to empowered
1550s	um
1554s	I'm quite happy with how this build's
1556s	progressing I don't have none of my
1558s	uniques have legendary potential on them
1560s	so I'm really hoping to find LP versions
1562s	of some of these I guess I could go over
1564s	the changes that were made we're still
1566s	pretty similar you it may look basically
1568s	like the same stuff's happening
1570s	um as last week but like a fair bit of
1572s	change has happened I can go through it
1573s	I did put the post the link the build
1574s	Link
1576s	okay
1577s	we jumped up in level two
1581s	I I dropped below 300 Mana
1584s	I've got a an idol that that activates
1587s	on 300 random or more and I just
1590s	realized right as we went live I'm like
1591s	oh God I'm below 300 Mana ah
1597s	find them
1601s	are the plans to add an item by type
1604s	uh which will buff monsters like
1606s	Headhunter in Poe
1608s	no
1609s	we're not making headhunter
1613s	um
1614s	Headhunter has
1617s	um there's
1619s	several abilities in last Epoch monster
1623s	abilities that we would have to remove
1625s	from the game in order to have
1626s	Headhunter be viable to the point where
1628s	we would dilute the number of abilities
1630s	so much
1633s	um that we we would so there's like huge
1636s	subset of people that would suffer
1637s	because they're
1639s	um
1640s	just just by this one item existing so
1642s	even people that don't have it don't use
1643s	it they'd have a worse experience or you
1646s	have to have it be like the things that
1648s	it can be affected it can affect are so
1650s	limited that it's just kind of like well
1653s	sometimes a couple of things get
1656s	transferred over and you're like nah it
1658s	sucks
1660s	and just like
1661s	it's it's like oh it's close to this
1663s	other thing that I love but it's
1664s	significantly worse
1667s	um so if you're gonna invite comparisons
1668s	like that intentionally you want to make
1671s	sure you're on the right side of that
1672s	comparison
1673s	um and if you know you're going to be
1674s	really on the wrong side of that
1676s	comparison it's generally not a great
1677s	idea
1683s	not always you know sometimes it's good
1685s	but
1686s	we try and avoid it if we're like this
1688s	is this other thing from this other game
1690s	but just worse in every way
1693s	not huge on the idea
1706s	hmm it's too bad to use something
1709s	similar but it's already implemented in
1710s	other games it fits uh is it too bad to
1713s	use something similar what is already
1716s	influenced in other games if it fits and
1718s	is very fun to players no it's not bad
1721s	um it's it's it's totally fine it's
1723s	actually good in a lot of cases because
1725s	what you can do is you can
1727s	um people can see things that they're
1729s	familiar with in some cases so like uh
1731s	Warpath and Whirlwind and cyclone and
1734s	all these abilities all these like uh
1736s	and Garen and law like all these Spin to
1739s	Win characters and abilities are very
1741s	familiar they're things that people
1742s	played in lots of different games people
1744s	really enjoy them and and having those
1747s	uh available is is great
1750s	um
1752s	because there are things that people uh
1754s	like especially genre tropes like I
1756s	think that's a big genre Trope really
1757s	and
1759s	um
1760s	and and putting your own spin on
1762s	putting your own spin on a genre Trope
1764s	like that I think is a very very useful
1767s	way to um
1769s	to to provide people a way to have fun
1772s	which is really what it's all about
1775s	um
1777s	see lots of times it's great but if I
1779s	think there's if you can't put your own
1781s	spin on it so if the only way to do it
1783s	is to like directly copy someone else
1786s	careful
1788s	if the only way to do it is strictly
1791s	worse than someone else especially if
1793s	they're one of the most popular
1795s	um
1796s	uh versions of that something else
1799s	and these are all these are Case by case
1802s	so I'm like trying to speak very
1803s	generally because there's not really a
1804s	hard fast rule for any of it
1814s	uh imagine stealing Revival before dying
1819s	in hardcore that would be insane
1821s	stealing Revival oh like the uh yeah
1824s	yeah
1827s	that that would be a little nuts oh like
1830s	that would be an amazing moment that
1832s	would be great that'd be that would be
1833s	so cool and everything but like it's
1836s	it's tough to uh
1839s	it's so hard to balance
1842s	and like we we we don't like to say you
1844s	know this will never happen that'll
1846s	never happen
1849s	um but Headhunters one that
1853s	chances that would happen are extremely
1856s	low at best
1858s	super duper Mega extremely low at this
1861s	before I'm confident just saying no
1863s	um
1866s	so many problems with it like we've
1868s	looked at it we're this is this is not
1870s	something that we're like we've just
1871s	considered it and been like oh you know
1874s	don't copy whatever move on though like
1876s	we've
1877s	we've really looked at doing it
1880s	um there are many problems
1886s	is not for lack of trying
1897s	I love when a fireball like
1899s	um the heat seeking this pulls it up
1901s	towards the screen and then it loses the
1903s	heatsinkiness because the target dies so
1904s	it just starts going straight forward
1905s	and it like flies in front of the screen
1907s	I love that
1915s	will Ellie ever get more density in the
1918s	game my biggest issue with it is I felt
1919s	like a walk to kill 10 mobs there's yeah
1921s	so there's
1923s	um a couple bugs actually that still
1924s	exist in the live version that cause
1927s	um some of these density gaps to happen
1928s	that we have fixed for next batch
1931s	um we we did also air on the side of
1932s	caution with density in general due to
1935s	Performance concerns that are being
1937s	mostly alleviated so we should see a
1939s	little bit of an increase there not
1940s	dramatic we don't want to have
1943s	um we we would we would rather see
1947s	um
1947s	like if we're going to directly compare
1949s	to Path of Exile we would we would
1951s	rather intentionally see
1953s	fewer enemies on screen
1957s	um just having having it be a little
1959s	more intentional and maybe that means
1961s	making those enemies a little bit more
1962s	dangerous if it's a difficulty thing but
1964s	just seeing fewer enemies on screen is
1966s	like regardless of any constraints the
1968s	design we're hoping for
1971s	and that's not to say every single
1973s	situation is always going to not yeah
1976s	broad stroke speaking speaking
1978s	um maybe there will be some
1981s	I don't know some area that we make
1983s	where it's just like enemies enemies as
1986s	far as the eye can see yeah you know
1988s	like that sort of thing can happen and
1990s	having a big variants on that I think is
1992s	is interesting it makes a it makes where
1995s	you are like having to make decisions
1997s	based on the encounter you're in having
1999s	variants like having different dials you
2001s	can move is good for that
2004s	what haven't you copied yet that you
2006s	really want to copy from other games
2009s	I mean we we really try to avoid copying
2014s	anything we also try to avoid avoiding
2017s	copying anything like we just try and it
2019s	sounds dumb to say we try to just ignore
2021s	other games as much as possible if we
2023s	can
2024s	um and and just like just make our games
2027s	and sometimes things from other games
2029s	like games you play games you haven't
2032s	played in a decade influence the the
2034s	decisions you make when designing a game
2036s	games you have no recollection of uh
2039s	playing uh or like they'll find their
2042s	way in in little ways
2045s	um and
2047s	so we generally just try and look at it
2049s	from uh like what if like what do you
2051s	think would be cool that sort of stuff
2053s	and some sometimes you get something
2054s	that does overlap
2056s	um
2058s	so there's nothing that's on the list of
2060s	like though I really want to copy that
2064s	I don't think
2072s	thank you very much Master Sword
2075s	12.91 let's get to the center lizard
2081s	thank you master sword
2083s	welcome lizard hope you're having fun
2089s	I laugh because if anyone is wondering
2091s	these two guys are here a lot
2095s	all right
2097s	let's get to the next question
2100s	game has some chances to explode skill
2103s	nodes he's going to stay and if they are
2105s	are they going to get reworked visually
2107s	um I I don't see why they wouldn't stay
2109s	um
2110s	uh I mean we're always looking to
2112s	improve everything if there's
2114s	uh significant feedback that we get on
2117s	our feedback forums and uh channels that
2119s	are that it needs reworking I'm sure
2121s	I'll get looked at eventually I don't
2123s	think there's I don't know if there's
2124s	anything specifically on that list it's
2126s	it's really hard because there's so many
2128s	little things and um
2130s	uh I don't I don't really know what's on
2133s	the like to be reworked visually list
2135s	until it happens usually
2137s	unless it's something that like I we
2139s	talk about that's really bad
2145s	these scale ban Rogues are just all up
2148s	in my face
2149s	get out of here buddy
2153s	it's not cool you know just trying to
2155s	shoot Fireballs in your face come on
2162s	hey there we go
2169s	the issue 10 season some Echoes have
2171s	really high a really low and some have
2173s	really high density yes that was the bug
2174s	I was referring to earlier that's been
2176s	fixed uh does acolyte offer her minions
2180s	a healthcare plan
2182s	[Laughter]
2183s	of his
2186s	a health care plan of is that not in
2189s	their contract or or is that not in
2190s	their contract
2191s	I understand what you're trying to say
2192s	there
2193s	um I I think the um
2196s	Undead servitude doesn't come with a
2199s	very good dental plan
2202s	um
2207s	I don't think they have much of a choice
2209s	in their uh servitude
2217s	thus the servitude
2221s	uh will thorns and reflect be removed
2224s	from the game or do they get a complete
2226s	rework if not
2228s	um no and probably not
2237s	are we gonna see uh more crit chance
2241s	sources in the future more in quotes
2242s	probably not I think chances are we'll
2244s	actually see
2246s	um
2248s	uh just multiplicative chance sources in
2253s	general
2254s	going away
2256s	um by that I mean like increased reduced
2259s	more and less all being uh
2264s	few and far between at best
2266s	uh I think there's a good chance of that
2269s	it's a lot it's a lot of done deal yet
2271s	but I suspect we'll see crit becoming
2274s	more of a just like plus two percent
2277s	crit chance plus three percent crit
2278s	chance instead of like plus 50 increase
2280s	Critical Strike chance
2282s	um
2283s	so what we'll see going to and added and
2285s	subtracted almost I shouldn't say
2288s	exclusively but extremely heavily
2290s	weighted
2295s	that's what I think we'll see it's still
2296s	still up in the air but I think I think
2299s	that'll be uh it's a pretty safe
2300s	prediction
2306s	I forgot that I do have snap freeze
2308s	still
2309s	oh yeah oh it's Uncle then there we go
2312s	chill chill out
2317s	gotta do like a a froze uh like um
2321s	Mr Freeze
2324s	tagline every time we use snap freeze
2334s	it's time that you were put on ice
2340s	please
2344s	I just made that one up I don't know
2345s	what they are I haven't seen that movie
2346s	in way too long
2350s	all right we're gonna see a fix to
2352s	Collision resolution for example totem's
2355s	not summoning when uh on a hidden path
2357s	or with many mobs around
2360s	um
2361s	I I wouldn't consider that a bug so no
2367s	we might we might change the design on
2369s	it it's possible but
2371s	um it is working as intended at the
2373s	moment
2381s	uh
2383s	our passive tree threshold nodes updates
2387s	coming the next patch the classes that
2389s	don't have them is mostly a 1.0 edition
2391s	with the new masteries no um that'll
2393s	come that'll be that'll happen late 0.9
2397s	development cycle uh will be
2401s	um
2405s	well it will likely be uh
2410s	spreading those out yeah like every tree
2412s	will just get them that's that's going
2413s	to be something that we just start using
2415s	as a like a normal thing and as trees
2418s	get looked at and reworked they'll get
2420s	added I think some of them have them
2421s	already even
2424s	I'm not sure I did notice that because
2426s	like I do the I make the characters in
2427s	the editor so I actually made this
2429s	character on the new on the current
2431s	build of the game
2434s	um not an eight five so it's like there
2437s	were certain things that I was doing and
2438s	then coming back into here loaded up I'm
2440s	like oh it's different
2443s	whoops
2448s	uh rip 100 chance no I I think that'll
2450s	still be possible
2453s	um
2456s	it's less about
2458s	um changing what's possible to be done
2461s	with crit and more about increasing
2464s	um comprehension and uh
2469s	just just just making it easier because
2472s	because it adds having the increase
2474s	having the added increase in more on a
2476s	percentage based stat like crit
2479s	um that caps out at 100 quite often I
2481s	think doesn't add a lot of depth
2485s	per complexity so if it's if it's adding
2487s	two points of depth it's adding 50
2490s	points of complexity
2492s	um
2494s	and it's because it's it's just not that
2496s	interesting of a thing you're just like
2497s	I just need credit I'm gonna get my
2498s	criticize I can crit
2501s	um there's a tiny bit of math to work it
2502s	out how it's going to be but it's not a
2504s	interesting decision to make
2506s	um and there's a lot of
2508s	mostly with newer players but still even
2511s	with in franchise players too there's
2513s	there can be
2514s	um confusion around things like that and
2516s	it's just not worth it usually
2521s	drink lots of water
2527s	are the Dead
2529s	going forward for crowd control effects
2532s	uh in the game like stun freeze Etc
2535s	it seems they're coming that seems like
2538s	the coming changes for stun will overall
2540s	make it stronger than before
2542s	um
2545s	I think that there is I I don't want to
2550s	speak too broadly on this because I am
2552s	sure I will make a mistake and it's a
2554s	very important topic
2556s	um
2559s	uh
2563s	having stunned like I guess I can speak
2565s	to the goals stun is a really
2567s	interesting mechanic
2569s	uh in that when used well it can
2571s	actually be a very large source of both
2574s	damage and defense
2577s	um stunning an enemy inside of an Airy
2580s	effect so they can't get out
2583s	um so it takes way more damage
2585s	um this is this is quite often seen in
2588s	in like pre-intuitive combos like
2591s	um black hole meteor you know you like
2593s	so like hold on to draw them in and then
2595s	the meteor drops on them and all big
2596s	damage all that sort of stuff and
2597s	there's even nodes in there in those
2598s	trees to like help with that
2602s	um
2604s	in the
2607s	uh
2609s	uh it's also defensive in the sense that
2611s	oh this enemy is about to wind up and
2613s	use this big ability it's not at stuffy
2614s	ability so it's a very powerful effect
2617s	um and abuse cases for
2621s	um being able to Perma Sun things is
2624s	scary
2626s	because
2627s	um sometimes Perma stun cases happen
2629s	when you can like just especially in a
2632s	group in value complete boss fights but
2635s	sometimes taking permastun
2638s	um
2639s	abilities just drops your damage into
2642s	the abyss and you end up with like wet
2646s	noodle fights and you just like okay
2647s	well this boss can't move for the next
2650s	four hours and I'm gonna do one damage a
2653s	second to it
2654s	it has 10 million hit points you know
2658s	it's just like okay this fight's gonna
2660s	be hours long or whatever the math works
2662s	out to be and it's it's not fun being
2665s	stuck there especially if it's the
2669s	um most effective way for new builds
2672s	it's quite it's quite often ends up
2673s	being a very effective way for new
2674s	builds to complete extremely difficult
2676s	content so you don't have a lot of
2678s	wealth you know your character's not
2679s	very strong you you know gear don't do
2680s	it but you can pull off this permiston
2682s	system and you're just gonna promise on
2684s	this boss until it's dead it'll take
2686s	three hours and it's gonna suck so
2688s	avoiding situations like that's really
2690s	important
2692s	um all right thank you AKA good greens
2698s	for something appreciate it
2700s	stick around
2703s	hope you have some fun
2708s	thanks for joining us
2719s	all right
2724s	let's see if I had some questions
2726s	I I know that wasn't really a direct
2727s	answer to your question Master but I
2729s	hope it I hope it gave enough insight
2730s	into our intentions enough that maybe
2732s	you can uh
2734s	shed some light and hopefully where we
2735s	where we end up
2739s	I'm not sure if this node is off the top
2742s	of my head details help for these kind
2744s	of super specific questions also
2748s	this was a pink brother thing uh hello
2750s	is there plans to make Unholy Trinity
2752s	for Lich more viable on hungering Souls
2754s	since at high levels it's hard for such
2757s	a build to stay sustained I do not know
2759s	what those notes do off the top of my
2760s	head I apologize
2763s	um
2765s	yeah sorry I I would need I would need
2769s	images I'm not on an icon so I can't
2771s	look them up really quickly here I guess
2773s	I could flip to uh build build plan or
2775s	something
2778s	but uh
2785s	plans for specific balance changes are
2788s	not created yet for the next patch so no
2791s	there's no plans for it however it could
2793s	get created before the next match so who
2795s	knows
2800s	hello how are you doing today do you
2801s	plan to add any secret Areas maybe
2804s	cosmetic or to pick up loot hotkey
2806s	instead of clicking on the ground wow
2808s	lots of stuff there
2810s	um
2813s	uh so uh yes we're gonna we plan to add
2817s	more secret areas to the game
2819s	and
2820s	um
2821s	yes we are adding Cosmetics
2824s	um k for Cosmetics you can see there's
2826s	already a Cosmetics panel that you can
2829s	um don't click on the ones that aren't
2831s	implemented Mike here we go this one you
2833s	can have a little pet that runs around
2834s	with you
2840s	well dude
2841s	he doesn't do anything
2843s	um Cosmetics or pickup loot hotkey
2845s	instead of just clicking on the ground
2846s	the um so the pickup loot hotkey is
2850s	something that uh gets suggested every
2852s	once in a while and I think usually the
2854s	the reason
2856s	um the the key factor in the pickup loot
2859s	hotkey that I think a lot of people
2860s	might be missing when they make the
2862s	suggestion is that
2865s	um and question it's like I just want
2866s	hockey I don't want Auto loot I just
2868s	want a hockey unfortunately a hotkey and
2871s	auto loot are the same thing because all
2873s	you have to do is have that you know
2875s	like get up the Homer bird Dipper
2879s	uh thing to press the button over and
2881s	over again and just have that that auto
2882s	pickup key being pressed over and over
2885s	again and suddenly you got out of loot
2890s	um
2892s	and we're not really interested in an
2894s	arms race on detecting systems that do
2896s	that
2897s	uh
2900s	to combat that it doesn't sound like fun
2904s	um and and likely would end up just
2905s	hurting the people who are using the
2907s	system properly
2912s	um so I would say unlikely but possible
2916s	very unlikely and barely possible
2924s	are you generally happy with the amount
2927s	of defensive layers in the game or do
2928s	you think there are opportunities for
2929s	different types of defenses
2931s	um yeah I I am generally very happy with
2933s	the defensive players that are in the
2934s	game I think there's
2936s	um enough variation mechanically and
2939s	thematically
2941s	um
2941s	that we can have uh different different
2944s	defensive player mechanics be featured
2946s	on different classes in different
2948s	combinations so that you get overlap for
2950s	familiarity but
2952s	um
2953s	uh
2954s	novelty novelness newness whatever it's
2957s	called in um there's a term there that
2959s	I'm just missing uh in terms of the
2961s	combinations so you can um
2964s	maybe you're using Ward on an acolyte or
2967s	Ward on a mage
2969s	um and while if you're using the same
2971s	defensive layer because you're doing
2972s	them in different with different classes
2974s	there's different ways there's different
2976s	things they synergize with that you're
2977s	going to see different versions of those
2982s	um so Ward on an AC light might be more
2984s	tied to a low life build it might be
2986s	tied to to minions more so whereas
2989s	um Ward on a mage might be tied more to
2992s	um your Mana you know and and how that's
2995s	used so there's there's lots of
2997s	um
2998s	reusing mechanics in different ways to
3001s	get new experiences in new combinations
3003s	I think that's really good
3006s	um is there room for more yeah there's
3007s	room for more is it necessary I don't
3010s	think so
3011s	um I think if there's a uh a new play
3015s	style or new mechanic idea something
3017s	that comes out that is that's really
3019s	awesome
3021s	um like we won't hesitate to add a new
3023s	defensive layer
3025s	um for it but I don't think it's
3027s	something that we're I know it's
3028s	something that we're not actively
3029s	searching for at the moment
3038s	yeah
3040s	pick up a little girl why not right
3047s	I love fear for that reason uh one time
3049s	you can time it uh great utility please
3052s	remove from a cc remove the beauty of
3054s	combat Island yeah privacy is a problem
3056s	and
3057s	um
3059s	it sucks that it exists uh
3064s	we're working on it
3066s	hello cool wings uh thank you
3075s	be dance me too there you go
3078s	um why are mechanics like uh obese skin
3081s	confirmed I mean
3084s	I wouldn't put it past us but no we
3086s	don't have anything like that prepped
3087s	yet
3091s	these are friends not food
3093s	I don't know where that came from
3095s	all right uh why are mechanics like fire
3099s	Aura on crit paired together despite
3101s	having natural anti-synergy uh I'm not
3105s	against the design but curious on the
3107s	philosophy behind it
3108s	yeah
3110s	um
3114s	it's it's it's an interesting it's an
3116s	interesting question and and
3119s	um I don't have a great like insight
3121s	into why it's there like that
3124s	um because I didn't make that one
3126s	uh I think likely
3130s	um it was kind of just another way to
3132s	have that introduced because sometimes
3134s	there's builds that will
3136s	um sacrifice crit damage
3139s	and sacrifice
3142s	um like the amount of damage you're
3143s	dealing just in general on hits
3145s	um
3146s	but you can you can guarantee very high
3148s	rate of crit
3150s	um specifically to Target things like
3152s	that effects like that where you're like
3153s	I need to trigger something on crit so
3155s	I'm going to crit a ton but really I'm
3157s	more focused on what I'm triggering not
3159s	the crit itself so you take no crit
3161s	multi
3162s	um and you're you're not dealing in any
3164s	base damage but you're just like I'm
3165s	gonna take as much chances I can
3169s	um to try and Trigger the other things
3170s	as much as possible and it's just
3172s	another way to work with crit
3177s	foreign
3180s	there might be another reason I just
3182s	don't know
3183s	say likely there is
3186s	anything I'm sure of that I'm not sure
3189s	of much
3194s	all right
3196s	when do we expect to see warlock maybe
3199s	0.9 ish no 1.0
3202s	I do kind of wish that the common shards
3205s	would be autolued and you only have to
3207s	click on the rare or class charts yeah
3209s	we see this feedback here once in a
3211s	while
3212s	um for now we don't plan on changing it
3216s	it is something that gets brought up and
3217s	we discuss pretty regularly
3220s	um
3222s	that's a very cool Idol
3224s	um there are two unique three unique
3226s	Idols in the game
3228s	um
3230s	two three uh craps at least two this one
3233s	and this one
3237s	um
3237s	see they're pretty cool so yeah if
3239s	you're doing
3240s	um this would be opposite of that where
3241s	you can't quit anymore trying to um
3244s	trying to emphasize hit builds that
3246s	don't focus on crit that's an option I
3248s	guess that's what this is for
3251s	because hit builds and crypt builds go
3253s	together so well that almost every time
3255s	you're gonna do a hit build you're gonna
3256s	do a [ __ ] build
3268s	okay let's not die that would be ideal
3273s	if possible
3279s	I keep saying my mini pen I'm like don't
3281s	die
3287s	I'm very curious to see what the
3289s	defenses will be like for warlock since
3291s	the Lich has the second health bar uh
3293s	and Necromancer is a pile of meat
3295s	Shields yep
3300s	yeah I'm not sure um where that'll where
3303s	that'll leaks it won't have either of
3304s	those things as heavily at all
3307s	um like you won't have glitch's second
3308s	health bar
3309s	um
3313s	well it's got some tricks up his sleeve
3316s	you know
3317s	warlock's got some tricks
3325s	I was I'm trying to think of a way to to
3327s	tease a little bit without giving too
3329s	much of it away but I just can't I'm
3330s	sorry
3334s	slash feedback feedback so it won't
3336s	start discussion more like a suggestion
3338s	box well so there's a on Discord we have
3341s	our suggestions and like to see Channel
3343s	um that we pull stuff out of
3347s	yeah I generally sit uh at night or um
3352s	in the morning when I first got up I'll
3354s	I'll give a peruse through there
3357s	and just look at what suggestions are
3358s	coming in not in the feedback threads on
3360s	Discord
3362s	um
3368s	I mean you could send a support ticket
3371s	if you really didn't want anyone to even
3373s	see your suggestion
3375s	um I I would avoid that if possible
3377s	though because we want to reserve
3378s	support ticket uh
3382s	um bandwidth for people who need help
3387s	and even just triaging unnecessary
3389s	tickets is it just takes away from being
3391s	able to help people that actually need
3392s	help
3398s	I'm actually gonna turn this mini pet
3399s	off
3404s	and I know this is weird in that uh no
3406s	that's what we want uh this in that
3409s	there's like
3410s	if you have this one you clearly have
3412s	this one but I don't it's it was for
3415s	testing
3427s	I'm pretty sure those are getting
3428s	redesigned like not redesigned
3431s	re-created from the original design
3434s	I think or they already happened one of
3436s	the two
3440s	because the original versions were some
3442s	of the very first models we even ever
3444s	created for the game like
3447s	oh who created those
3449s	so someone who I I think the person who
3451s	created them
3453s	um still does a ton of stuff for the
3454s	game but it was the only model that he
3456s	ever created for the game was that
3459s	um
3461s	he leads a different department now
3476s	all right I'm very curious to see what
3478s	the defenses will be like uh
3480s	where can I join me I'm just repeating
3483s	questions all over the place
3488s	is there a reason we can't use uh the
3492s	thing to make Idols unique
3500s	is there a reason we can't use the
3504s	um thing to make Idols legendary I
3506s	believe is the question you're asking I
3508s	got it uh is that because they would be
3510s	too powerful if they were easier easy to
3513s	get I think I think I think what you're
3515s	asking
3516s	um is what am I doing here this is the
3518s	one I want so let's close that it's a
3520s	bug
3521s	um
3522s	with a unique and exalted item you can
3526s	create with you collection potential and
3528s	exalted you can combine them together to
3529s	make a legendary item
3532s	um but
3533s	the uh Idols unique Idols never spawn
3536s	with legendary potential and there are
3538s	no such thing as an exalted Idol so
3541s	there's no way to make a legendary Idol
3545s	um part of this is
3549s	um
3550s	there's there's a few reasons for this
3552s	uh for for being this way
3555s	um part of it is just having those that
3557s	like specific control over
3560s	um what combinations are available and
3563s	being able to
3565s	um
3568s	I I guess putting putting unique
3572s	I don't know how to say this properly
3574s	the stats that we want on idols
3578s	no that's in this as well oh I'm having
3580s	a tough time answering this question I'm
3581s	sorry
3583s	um
3584s	we really like the way Idols are and we
3586s	don't think it would be useful to add to
3588s	the system right now
3590s	I assess the the bottom line here on
3592s	that
3593s	um there's there's no crafting that
3595s	happens on Idols at all right now it's
3596s	it's as they drop that's as they are and
3599s	that's it
3600s	um and that's not to say that's that's a
3602s	permanent thing but for now and probably
3604s	1.0 Idols will probably be used as they
3607s	drop items
3611s	yeah that might change but it's it's
3613s	there's no I I haven't seen any plans
3617s	for
3618s	that's okay I've seen any plans for
3621s	adding in idle crafting in any way
3624s	um it's it's not not so that it won't
3627s	happen but I haven't seen anything for
3629s	it
3631s	it's a secure
3653s	foreign
3698s	foreign
3728s	foreign
3738s	rant about how much I like uh items like
3741s	that
3742s	uh
3743s	embarrassing thank you Kane for
3745s	reminding me
3750s	well that was my impression of someone
3752s	who was pretending to not talking to
3755s	their microphone
3760s	it's really good I'm just so good at it
3763s	all right next question
3766s	uh do you think it's a problem that
3768s	range builds can make use of all
3770s	defensive layers that seem catered
3771s	towards melee Brawler's leech Dr versus
3774s	nearby armor
3776s	um
3782s	yes
3785s	the large asterisk I don't think it's a
3788s	huge problem I think that there are
3791s	um
3793s	like we do try and give I guess easier
3797s	access to to defensive players
3801s	um usually usually just thematically it
3802s	works out
3804s	um block health things like that
3809s	um endurance those those quite often go
3812s	in with like Melee build characters that
3813s	have easy access to like I'm just like
3815s	these these are things that a lot of
3817s	melee classes just have access to
3818s	anyways really heavy glasses
3822s	um but it's not so cut and dry of melee
3824s	versus Range
3826s	um
3834s	I think we talked about Rune of a
3835s	sentence for Idols I
3838s	did we talk about that
3843s	Maybe
3847s	I I think like if I was gonna if I was
3849s	someone said to me hey Mike pitch and
3851s	Idol crafting system and
3855s	um and and things like that like how
3857s	would you how would you do it I would
3858s	tie you to a dungeon personally
3861s	I would tied to a dungeon reward
3865s	um
3869s	not sure exactly how I do it
3871s	you could do a few different ones pretty
3873s	easily I think they'll be cool I don't
3875s	think that many of the traditional
3876s	crafting systems because because
3880s	um Idols don't have tears on their
3882s	affixes at all it's just a single tier
3883s	all in all of them
3885s	um so I don't think that involving them
3886s	in the normal crafting system makes a
3888s	lot of sense because there's just so
3889s	many items that are intrinsically
3890s	incompatible with it that I would and
3892s	because they have so few few mods Total
3895s	there's even more that are incompatible
3896s	naturally and so I I'd really look to
3899s	having specific functions be tied to
3901s	dungeon rewards is where I would start
3908s	oh all right
3911s	um maybe an ambitious question any
3914s	teasers for an eventual player economy
3916s	um
3920s	deflationary measures for stability
3922s	trade restrictions Etc
3925s	deflationary that's a new word for me
3929s	um
3930s	I I
3931s	judging by your question and I could be
3935s	way off base here judging by your
3937s	question there's going to be uh if if
3940s	you're really hoping for those types of
3942s	questions to be relevant
3944s	um I think you might be a little
3945s	disappointed in the eventual trading
3947s	system
3952s	uh so uh no I can't give you any any
3955s	teasers to that other than
3957s	I don't think there are any
3959s	uh like any of those those uh
3963s	deflationary measures for stability
3968s	maybe there are
3972s	I guess there technically are I don't
3975s	know man I I
3978s	got to no no comment on trade we'll have
3980s	to wait and see
3981s	that's the better answer sorry
3984s	uh
3989s	uh I think the idle question uh was
3991s	upgrading a basic Idol to Unique but I
3994s	could be wrong yeah I think assumptions
3995s	that would be too easy to generally uh
3997s	is generally correct okay I see what
3999s	you're saying
3999s	um yeah like there's there aren't enough
4003s	um Idols I understand the original
4004s	question now I totally missed that there
4006s	aren't enough like like if you if you
4008s	put
4009s	um this this small Idol with an this is
4013s	itchy so much I'm taking it off oh my
4016s	goodness that was such a problem
4019s	my hair's gotten to the point where it's
4020s	just long enough that it's just like in
4022s	my face and doing nothing I hate it
4024s	um but yeah if you put this like small
4025s	Idol in with a root of Ascension uh the
4029s	only option is this like you just 100
4031s	guaranteed gonna get that out no problem
4034s	um
4035s	speaking of fun items to get with the
4037s	crafting system with the Renaissance
4038s	there we go fractured crown
4041s	um
4045s	yes and and there's so many other pieces
4049s	of the crafting system that just don't
4051s	work with Idols that I don't think
4052s	having them work in the crafting system
4054s	at all is really a great idea which is
4056s	why I would look to uh to put them in
4060s	the
4061s	um there's all the muted things whoops
4065s	that's why I would look to put them more
4067s	in the
4070s	dungeon system
4072s	a little ways behind here
4074s	looks like I can catch up
4077s	about Idols in D2 charm item level is
4081s	really important yes and it makes
4083s	finding harder content rewarding via
4085s	skillers with life and such you know you
4087s	can draw best in slot Idol in the
4089s	campaign uh and your opinion creates a
4092s	why bother sentiment when it comes to
4093s	engaging with Hardware content to get
4095s	good ones any ideas on this I I think
4097s	that's a really
4098s	um
4099s	yeah let's get inside on it
4102s	um
4104s	I mean it kind of goes in sort of thing
4106s	earlier but the almost the uh
4111s	uh I think that there's a really good
4116s	um a good effect of having some of these
4118s	Idols be collectible early especially
4120s	when you have
4122s	um Idols that enable builds so uh like
4125s	trigger Idols for things like that
4127s	having those be possible to pick up
4128s	early and and see those possibilities on
4131s	a new character that's maybe not
4133s	following a guide or it's their very
4134s	first character they're very first
4135s	character to that class where you're
4136s	seeing these options as you're leveling
4137s	it gives you ideas to change your
4139s	character as you go I think that's a
4140s	really positive thing
4144s	um
4144s	having those
4148s	um
4150s	I think I think to your item tier is
4152s	probably the way to fix that really to
4153s	make it easier to find them
4155s	um or better versions of them so you're
4157s	not finding best in slot versions later
4158s	which is
4160s	not overly surprising
4162s	um
4165s	or just roll ranges or I don't know
4168s	different combinations that aren't
4169s	possible until later
4171s	ah
4174s	I do really like the idea of of having
4177s	specific ones be showing up later
4182s	I don't know I don't think I don't have
4184s	a good ideas for that sorry
4187s	it's a very good point I think it's a
4189s	very good point because yeah like you
4190s	can you can get a Skiller starting a
4194s	nightmare in D2
4195s	um but you can't get uh like 45 life
4198s	Skiller unless you're killing two
4201s	enemies in the entire game
4203s	like there's only two enemies in the
4206s	entire game that dropped uh 45 life
4208s	skillers or or ones that could be rolled
4211s	into 45 black skillers as well
4218s	we need to fix the Marksman waistline
4220s	ASAP her body looks like a rectangle
4221s	okay
4226s	uh are there any are there plans to add
4229s	more stuff to change the way skills
4231s	function yes I think it would be
4233s	interesting to have some passives for
4234s	them that can only get if you put all 20
4236s	points into getting to it but return was
4239s	really powerful yeah I think that
4241s	there's so
4242s	um a huge percentage Investments
4246s	um I think you say 20 I think you mean
4247s	like a single node on the tree that has
4250s	20. that's almost not possibly gonna
4253s	happen
4255s	um we have a hard Rule now
4258s	um for nodes
4260s	um
4261s	where no node can be more than five
4263s	points in a tree
4267s	um
4268s	and also trying to restrict nodes like
4271s	that to be mutually exclusive with every
4272s	other node in the tree
4274s	um like by making them 20 doesn't work
4276s	because you can get in some cases I
4277s	think 32 points in some trees I think
4280s	that's the max I think we worked that
4282s	out at some point but two LP one officer
4284s	meat
4295s	but yeah we will definitely be adding
4297s	more ways to have skills function that's
4298s	something that always gets added every
4300s	patch
4303s	uh me on a certain reptilian need to
4306s	know is upheaval a ranged skill that
4308s	requires melee weapon or a melee skill
4310s	it's exceptionally long range
4313s	um
4314s	it is a melee ability
4319s	um
4319s	that has a very long range cascading
4323s	effect
4334s	hello dear developer hello foxy45 well
4338s	met traveler will that be a unique tab
4340s	style like path of Exiles uni tab are
4343s	there any plans to make something like
4344s	that
4345s	um
4346s	we have talked about a few upgrades to
4348s	the stash system in general there's a
4351s	few different things there's actually
4352s	some changes that just went in regarding
4353s	the search functionality
4356s	um that's gonna make it a lot better
4358s	but yeah they're not just to be clear
4361s	I'm not referring to
4363s	um
4365s	uh
4368s	uh the hey everyone he's ready no no
4370s	reject style systems that's that's not
4372s	uh that's not what I'm referring to
4374s	um but yeah we are looking at upgrades
4376s	for the stash nothing's been done to the
4377s	stash in like two years now
4379s	um I don't have any details on
4381s	specifically what that's going to be
4385s	it's hot in here
4389s	oh
4395s	we'll say thank you leech for keeping me
4396s	alive but almost didn't work
4400s	um
4403s	I accept some regex I'll stuff some
4405s	light regex style things would be nice
4408s	um but we don't have any super immediate
4410s	plans for that
4414s	um or like tag searches or Fields like
4416s	like name
4418s	does this and you know like something
4421s	about filter options none of that's
4423s	planned as of yet but like those are all
4424s	things that are that come up in
4426s	conversations every once in a while and
4428s	um I mean the longer we work on the game
4430s	the more these styles of things that'll
4432s	just get added
4438s	yeah a unique tab I think would be a
4440s	good idea I think it'd be cool
4442s	um or at least I think a Tracker like an
4445s	achievement tracker for the like finding
4447s	every unique or something like that
4449s	because that's the reason a lot of
4449s	people use it is um just just as a like
4453s	a Grail tracker
4456s	um
4458s	I think that'd be cool
4467s	don't stand in the fire
4478s	but
4481s	I forgot to do my line
4486s	all right uh is there plans to add more
4489s	monos since I feel like the lore they
4490s	add for all timelines is unique yeah
4493s	there will be more monoliths added
4496s	um
4498s	I I don't know when
4500s	um this is probably the compliment we'll
4502s	have for 1.0
4504s	probably maybe a little bit different
4506s	but I think I think this will be likely
4508s	to complement the launch complement of
4510s	them but it is set up very specifically
4512s	so that they can be
4514s	uh reorganized reordered
4517s	um replaced attitude
4520s	it is all set up to be very modular like
4522s	that
4527s	one word achievements yeah I I don't see
4529s	why not
4531s	at some point
4533s	I think achievements are a really good
4534s	way to there's a lot of interesting
4536s	things you can do with achievements and
4537s	I think that they can provide a lot of a
4539s	lot of different functions for different
4541s	types of players
4543s	um and they could be something as simple
4544s	as like
4546s	uh directing people to say like oh the
4549s	thing you're doing that's a good thing
4551s	you should keep doing that
4553s	um
4556s	and like it it can help tutorialize
4559s	things even So like
4561s	um
4561s	I don't think we'd ever do this but
4563s	here's an example a rough example so
4565s	like you pick up a shard
4567s	you people chart for the first time boom
4569s	achievement unlocked picked up one
4571s	crafting shirt
4573s	click here to view the entire
4575s	achievement track or something like that
4576s	and it's it's it's like three
4579s	achievements and it's like pick up a
4580s	Shard
4582s	um
4583s	shatter an item and
4588s	um
4588s	Forge a new item or something like that
4590s	like those like the three things in this
4592s	track and it just it forces you to like
4594s	figure out how to shatter and like uh
4597s	and it teaches you how to use the 4G
4599s	system kind of organically by having
4600s	this achievement for it and it's a
4601s	really easy achievement so whatever
4602s	those are there's some that are like
4604s	that then you can have
4605s	[Music]
4606s	um
4607s	uh other achievements that are like
4609s	skill based achievements so things like
4612s	um complete the final boss of the game
4615s	you probably wouldn't put the final
4616s	boss's name in there but maybe you could
4618s	um
4619s	and and those those can like
4622s	help teach players uh like maybe uh when
4627s	the end of the game is or
4629s	um you know like unlock your master
4630s	requests or something like that like
4632s	just just like oh I did something and
4634s	that thing that I just did was important
4636s	and that was a big deal or like that was
4638s	a big moment or something like that I I
4639s	think that can help to reinforce things
4641s	like this
4643s	um and there's lots of ways you can do
4644s	that so like you can have like
4646s	reinforcing uh like chapter completions
4648s	this is a chapter one that's funny
4651s	um most people have no idea what chapter
4652s	their character is in for the most part
4653s	and and part of the problem with that is
4655s	that there's nothing that really says
4656s	like hey you completed a chapter good
4659s	job
4660s	um and that can come in a lot of
4661s	different
4662s	um different different forms so like uh
4664s	a small cutscene I think is
4667s	something we're going to do and
4668s	something that is definitely missing
4670s	and then we'll be the biggest impact
4672s	there but even something little like you
4674s	did kill a big boss and it's like
4676s	completed chapter four something not
4679s	something or other it's like oh that was
4681s	a really big moment of story progression
4683s	and like it just helps reinforce those
4685s	ideas and there's there's other things
4687s	too you can do like
4689s	um
4689s	uh like like Chase achievements things
4692s	that are like
4693s	um
4695s	completes
4696s	uh like I don't know B in the top 100 on
4701s	this ladder when it closes or something
4702s	like that I don't know
4705s	there's you get into tricky spaces with
4707s	achievements and achievements you can
4709s	miss so like maybe instead of that it
4711s	would be an achievement for just like
4712s	being the top 100 of a ladder when it
4715s	closes you know
4717s	um
4718s	and you get tricky like is lots of
4719s	people want to have the capability of
4721s	100 in a game
4724s	um so it's you get you get tricky issues
4726s	either it has to be like clear that you
4728s	can or clear that you just can't
4731s	um
4732s	so presentation changes a lot there
4735s	this
4737s	These Wings Are surprisingly sweaty
4743s	my back is just uh apparently it's
4745s	really warm in here too I think
4750s	which is crazy
4754s	it's supposed to be so warm
4757s	don't you think you have special idol
4758s	that goes in the center one by one of
4760s	the idle grid torch or analyst style POG
4763s	I mean
4764s	there's a lot of potential with this
4767s	slot here and like we never considered
4770s	anything to put there at all like that
4771s	just was it's the first time I heard
4773s	someone suggest putting something there
4775s	that affected the whole Idol slot no
4779s	um
4781s	uh
4783s	there's there's um a really
4788s	intentional missing spot they're not
4790s	just from a organizational mechanics
4793s	perspective but
4795s	um future content potential perspective
4797s	as well
4804s	we don't have specific plans for it
4806s	right now but when we were making that
4807s	we were designing the layout for it we
4809s	were like
4810s	there's a big list of like oh we can do
4812s	this or this or this or this or this and
4814s	this is exactly where you put it and
4815s	yeah
4817s	there's a lot of really great ideas that
4819s	were that I'd seen come up from the
4821s	community as well things to put there
4823s	a lot of overlap on things we already
4824s	thought about
4830s	that's right follow me in my orb
4832s	come with me there's an orb that will
4834s	not hurt you at all I promise
4840s	it's totally safe
4843s	totally safe
4845s	that's right
4852s	all my points are good
4854s	are they that's impressive
4858s	mine are very rarely good
4863s	all righty then uh
4867s	uh next one also are there any plans to
4869s	fix spelling consistency yet
4873s	yeah armor armor yep
4877s	we're on it
4880s	uh any plans for one or more additional
4883s	skill sets you can change uh into to
4887s	change your play style without having no
4889s	um our uh Diablo 3 armory style quick
4892s	switching is not planned
4895s	uh when Zurich follows you to the desert
4897s	you can put an infinitely scaling
4900s	infernal shade on him oh is this
4902s	intended or funny consequence that
4904s	doesn't really matter I would say funny
4905s	consequence
4907s	um
4907s	it matters a little uh I I think that's
4911s	something that
4913s	likely will get fixed
4916s	or or altered maybe I think there's an
4920s	opportunity there for interesting
4921s	Solutions
4923s	this is not really that big of a deal
4926s	um but I think there's an opportunity
4927s	for an interesting solution there I I
4929s	don't have a good a good option I'll cut
4931s	my head of what I would do but like
4933s	um when I say interesting solution I
4935s	mean like
4936s	uh in Witcher 3 at the start you'd like
4939s	um those are all the cows and if you
4941s	killed too many cows you'd like kill
4943s	cows uh rest kill cows rest kill cows
4945s	rest and you just get infinite money it
4946s	would take forever it was super boring
4947s	but it was infinite money for the start
4949s	of the game
4950s	um and so they added this bovine Defense
4953s	Force I think they called it and it's
4956s	like this giant monster that spawns and
4957s	just kicks the crap out of you ready to
4959s	start
4961s	interesting Solutions
4966s	cycle achievements maybe like having
4968s	season achievements in D3 and challenges
4969s	in Poe leagues yeah things like that
4973s	uh will it be dark modes for some skills
4976s	like lightning take them dark not so
4978s	flashy Smite as void is a great example
4979s	of far better not so flashy dark skill
4982s	or they be tied to MTX
4984s	um
4985s	I think if there's an opportunity for a
4988s	conversion that makes sense and it's
4989s	something that we're interested in doing
4990s	mechanically in the game then we'll then
4992s	we'll do that
4993s	um but if it's if it's if it's not a
4996s	functional change and only a visual
4998s	change uh it'll likely be tied to MTX
5005s	leaks oh yeah it's super far in I'm
5007s	sorry
5009s	L-shaped dog also true Tetris experience
5011s	we tried there's a lot of problems with
5013s	it
5014s	sorry
5018s	I got leaks for days
5022s	which one do we want to do first
5024s	uh let's do this one first this one's
5026s	pretty cool I like this one
5032s	all scary scary boy there
5039s	I some of the models these guys are
5042s	making now is just amazing
5047s	I am very frequently Amazed by
5052s	the stuff that the uh yard team pumps
5054s	out and part part of it is just like I'm
5056s	terrible at stuff like that so like it
5058s	just seems so wild that you can even
5060s	make it
5067s	I think this is an enemy
5081s	the wife and I also started playing uh
5084s	wingspan we've had wingspan in our
5085s	closets board game uh for since since
5089s	Christmas we've had it
5091s	um
5093s	something we do around Christmas we
5094s	usually buy each other a board game
5097s	um
5098s	because we like board games and
5101s	um
5102s	sort of our like board games for the
5103s	year
5105s	um I was just we've not had time
5108s	to play it at all but we we started
5110s	playing it and we're making time now
5113s	I'll tell you what
5115s	great game
5117s	to the point where I started actually
5118s	I've got them right here I started
5120s	printing
5121s	little models
5123s	for
5125s	like the replacement models it's gonna
5127s	happen to see for the like the food
5130s	and stuff for in the game
5132s	and like
5134s	little little
5137s	unique houses as bird feet or bird
5140s	houses instead of the player markers
5141s	yeah
5143s	yeah
5144s	got a rainbow one printing right now for
5147s	for my wife to play with because that's
5149s	what she wanted it's coming out a little
5151s	more orange than I wanted
5161s	all right triggers and cooldowns there
5163s	are a lot of cool items with meat
5165s	triggers and interactions with a big way
5167s	to scale the cooldowns of some of those
5169s	to make them more build defining like
5171s	Riverbend grass versus rain of winter
5174s	um generally not
5177s	um it's not impossible but I'd say most
5181s	of the time we set cooldowns on those
5183s	very intentionally for balance reasons
5185s	and
5186s	um
5189s	uh
5191s	there's there's kind of two ways to have
5192s	cooldowns interact with those one
5194s	generically so just having increased
5196s	cooldown reduction work with them and
5197s	and if it does generically work it would
5199s	have to work with all of them so as soon
5201s	as we make increased cooldown recovery
5203s	work generically with all of them
5205s	um some anything that we had the
5207s	cooldown set for a very specific balance
5209s	reason
5210s	um suddenly we have to take the cool
5213s	down and increase it by enough so the
5215s	maximum possible cooldown reduction you
5217s	could ever have in the game lines up
5219s	with that value and suddenly everyone
5220s	who's not stacking cooldown reduction to
5222s	the absolute Max is kind of Sol so
5226s	that's not a great solution uh second
5229s	option for including it including some
5231s	way to scale that cooldown is to have
5233s	really targeted
5235s	um cooldown scaling
5238s	um and and what happens there is if you
5240s	have one item that produces this effect
5242s	and one other item that changes the
5244s	cooldown of that effect suddenly this
5246s	other item is kind of useless without
5248s	the first one
5249s	um so you could you could do it in a set
5252s	that can work
5254s	um
5256s	but there's not really a lot of great
5257s	ways to do it in uh like generic sensor
5260s	just with a unique that already exists
5262s	especially
5263s	um so I'd say chances are low for either
5266s	of those options that you put there but
5267s	it's not impossible
5270s	foreign
5275s	or lost Runes of amok arnach arnach
5279s	that's not that's an RN not an MP
5281s	um maybe a good Christmas gift this year
5283s	I haven't
5284s	I think one of them is going to be an
5286s	expansion for uh wingspan this year
5289s	really liking it a lot
5292s	um
5294s	we also have oh they're all open now we
5297s	we still have uh terraforming Mars that
5299s	we haven't played yet
5301s	um
5303s	so that's on the list
5308s	oh the joys of growing up and being an
5310s	adult
5318s	it's good time fools by uh my character
5320s	their sound effect
5325s	we play we play a lot of Gloom Haven as
5327s	well
5328s	um we have a uh not quite weekly but
5331s	most weeks we'll play uh we'll have we
5333s	have a gloomhaven buddy buddy couple
5335s	that comes over
5337s	and uh
5340s	yeah
5342s	we were doing um Jaws the lion which is
5345s	the like the slightly smaller more
5348s	directed less expansive version of loom
5350s	Haven um it's basically the same game
5352s	though
5353s	um tons of fun we're mostly through that
5356s	now it's been great it's been really
5358s	great
5368s	are we up past do I have enough to go I
5370s	just didn't even notice
5375s	uh Warhammer darkseid's OST is amazing
5378s	recommend if you like Warhammer or
5379s	exciting game music well I do like
5381s	exciting game music I'm uh
5384s	I never got into Warhammer
5408s	sorry about that it's probably a bit of
5410s	a pop when I slammed my headset up and I
5413s	the Panic couldn't find the mute button
5419s	ah or okay though
5427s	yeah I played magic I didn't have enough
5429s	money for Warhammer
5435s	all right is there any way to bounce
5436s	Bastion of honors other Shield options
5438s	are still viable in comparison so far
5440s	every single build makes the shield
5441s	mandatory I I would disagree with the
5444s	same that every single Bill makes that
5445s	Shield mandatory
5447s	um give some point but uh yeah I hear
5450s	you that it is a pretty ubiquitous
5451s	Shield is uh as far as Shields go right
5454s	now it is probably the best one
5457s	um for almost every situation
5460s	and
5462s	um
5463s	yeah
5464s	it's difficult it's tough to be too
5466s	heavy-handed with something like that
5468s	um I think it's a combination effect
5469s	that needs to happen between
5472s	um just naturally having more options up
5474s	here as time goes on which will happen
5477s	um
5477s	having new builds show up having new
5479s	characters show up things like that like
5480s	it'll it will become less
5484s	ubiquitous as as time goes on naturally
5488s	um and yeah I could probably use with a
5490s	slight balance adjustment
5494s	um I think more so a few other things
5496s	could probably use a buff realistically
5499s	I could be wrong on that but we still
5501s	haven't touched on our balance pass 4.9
5503s	yet so
5504s	um
5507s	we'll we'll be looking at it as we go
5509s	through that but it's it's just we
5511s	haven't just haven't got there yet
5521s	you're careful in Mars unplayed in my
5523s	closet as well high on the list to get
5524s	that one played yeah I have the the um
5527s	I don't know if it was like free because
5529s	of some event or something or just it is
5531s	free or not but I
5533s	um I have the digital edition of it
5536s	I got it through some platform
5538s	for free
5540s	something some reason I got it from free
5543s	I was like sure I'll check it out why
5545s	not
5546s	um I think it might have been like the
5547s	the free daily game or Weekly game or
5550s	whatever that goes through uh I'm
5552s	stalling because I can't remember the
5553s	name of it epic store whatever that is
5555s	um
5558s	somebody may have grabbed it through
5559s	there
5561s	or it's just a free game I don't know
5562s	but yeah that's how I learned the rules
5564s	this is the digital one
5572s	am I muted again no I'm not okay
5580s	sorry I muted myself because I was
5581s	coughing and uh didn't want to blow
5584s	anyone's eardrums if you're wearing
5585s	headphones
5598s	are there any drop bear related things
5600s	in the game I'm not really
5604s	I don't think so
5607s	how could I know of could be though
5610s	eventually
5616s	uh is there any specific metric of what
5620s	makes a unique Catalyst versus a weapon
5624s	[Music]
5631s	whether or not we wanted to be
5633s	simultaneously wieldable with a wand or
5635s	not
5636s	and if it has any defensive leanings or
5640s	not
5641s	I think I think those would be the two
5643s	the two key factors in in Catalyst
5647s	versus wand or Catalyst versus some
5649s	other weapon
5653s	um just because you can dual wields
5656s	like
5658s	um
5659s	well you can humul a wand and a cattle
5661s	so if we wanted it to be dealable with
5663s	one so like like if it's yeah it's about
5665s	Mutual exclusivity of unique effects
5668s	primarily
5677s	Buffalo chance on gear Nerf block effect
5680s	early Dr curve please yeah
5692s	no Warhammer means heretic sorry lizard
5695s	I'll call it a heretic
5699s	I played the
5702s	uh RTS I want to call it
5709s	was it called the Weimar RTS we played
5710s	that in a few lands once
5713s	Squad based
5715s	RTS
5719s	40K
5726s	I was playing the necrons mostly
5730s	that's a term right yeah
5737s	huh
5747s	I think it's the end of the week and
5748s	you're like it was a long week you're
5750s	like did I do anything
5754s	that's how I feel today a little bit
5757s	I don't have any Halloween plans
5762s	I know um
5764s	friend down the block neighbors he
5767s	always has fireworks on Halloween he
5769s	usually does it on the Friday night
5770s	that's closest before
5772s	if it lines up nicely
5775s	so I think he's doing he'll be doing
5776s	that tonight probably
5779s	keep it keeping an eye out he's got
5781s	young kids as well so like it's usually
5783s	pretty early in the night so it's might
5785s	even be early enough that we can we can
5787s	take the little one out and
5791s	see the first fireworks
5797s	he come back here wait where you going
5799s	buddy I'm just trying to have have a
5801s	nice little chat
5803s	I want to know your opinions on
5806s	policy reform
5815s	it's a bit excessive but I mean who
5818s	might a judge
5834s	all right Dave for Halloween is my
5836s	birthday so plans just play games and no
5838s	costumes this year
5842s	must be weird having Heather birthday
5844s	right on a holiday right like next to a
5847s	holiday like that
5856s	I hope you have a good birthday
5858s	that's just in a couple days here isn't
5861s	it then
5863s	I think the damage return is a stat is
5865s	completely phased out in late game seems
5867s	like there are a few scaling options
5869s	that would involve but we actually I
5870s	mentioned this earlier
5871s	um someone posted I think it was to
5873s	Reddit I want to say recently
5875s	um where they had a build where they uh
5877s	just walked into monoliths and uh stood
5880s	there and the um the towers would kill
5883s	themselves because of all the damage
5885s	reflect that they had
5887s	um but yeah it's it's uh we're being
5890s	cautious overall with
5894s	um
5895s	damage reflection builds as primary
5898s	damage dealing sources
5903s	it it's an easy way to get into I guess
5906s	something I was talking about earlier as
5907s	well with that
5909s	um like I'm just gonna sit here and have
5912s	this two hour long reflect fight uh
5914s	we're like I'm never gonna die and we're
5917s	not really doing much said he was dbps
5919s	but you're
5921s	um
5923s	you're slowly gonna kill yourself on
5925s	that reflect like that's painful
5928s	um
5928s	I guess maybe it's even worse by having
5930s	it be weak but uh it's we're being
5933s	cautious on the reflect front at the
5935s	moment
5945s	oh lucky it's Halloween or not Christmas
5947s	so I don't get presents offloaded to the
5949s	holiday yep
5957s	I definitely had the the combo presence
5960s	oh my God
5961s	I'm so far past the stability required
5964s	I'm just on autopilot
5970s	uh did you just die
5976s	okay let's try
5978s	oh goodness
5983s	black hole
5984s	and meteor
6000s	I didn't do much
6004s	oh God uh focus focus is gonna be okay
6008s	it's gonna be okay
6011s	freeze everything
6013s	oh my goodness
6014s	oh no
6022s	oh no we died
6024s	gets into the spoiler
6030s	oh it's a terrible background for this
6032s	let's find a better backdropism
6036s	oh no one day
6045s	uh this background's terrible for this
6047s	no
6054s	I thought this image had a background it
6056s	doesn't oh
6059s	oh it looks way better there okay cool
6063s	here is some new art for something cool
6066s	I wonder what it is
6070s	this is my water here
6083s	that's a cheese knife
6088s	have you ever thought of mechanics that
6089s	turn reflection damage into other damage
6091s	allowing it to act as an alternate
6093s	source of damage for more defensive
6094s	classes yeah yeah we definitely talked
6096s	about that
6102s	I expect meteor better than I'm not bad
6106s	it was actually a pretty competitive
6108s	damage wasn't it
6110s	[Music]
6112s	not the great sign
6116s	uh where's Zord but yeah volcanic
6122s	are you able to show I'm gonna take
6125s	these off the screen
6127s	fight are you able to share what
6130s	Milestone the team hit the last couple
6131s	weeks that you got Friday off I can't
6133s	remember if uh it was last week two
6136s	weeks ago I I I can't share what that is
6138s	unfortunately
6140s	um it's pretty cool I think there's
6141s	going to be something that it will be
6145s	shared what the Milestone is
6148s	um
6150s	I
6153s	well it should be if it's if it's not
6155s	planned to be all leaked
6156s	I'm just kidding I won't leak anything
6157s	actually leak but yes
6160s	um
6162s	yeah it's the sort of thing we'll share
6167s	I'm not sure when or what it will look
6169s	like exactly but yes
6174s	it was a great day I took a nap yeah
6178s	it was glorious
6180s	I'm sorry I wasn't on stream
6182s	um
6184s	but yeah kid was down for a nap so was I
6187s	and oh is it great
6193s	uh what happens if you ignore the guy at
6196s	the start of this mission do you have to
6197s	backtrack I don't actually know
6199s	I'm just like yeah I'm not gonna find
6201s	out it probably it probably just picks
6203s	up most of the time things like that
6205s	it'll just like it'll just pick up and
6206s	it's fine
6210s	I mean
6214s	we had dexterity this boots would
6216s	probably be really good
6218s	because of all
6219s	little hits
6227s	uh any plans for a feature where a a
6231s	fire skill is made to be ice then the
6233s	icon gets color shifted to Red from red
6235s	to blue I don't know if it'd be
6236s	confusing people or not yeah this is
6238s	actually interesting we we have like I
6240s	just was looking for a frozen orb and
6242s	couldn't find it because it wasn't blue
6243s	there
6244s	um we have we've talked about this quite
6246s	a bit actually and we have a lot of
6248s	color variations of abilities that you
6250s	may have noticed in as as nodes
6253s	um so like there will be
6256s	um
6259s	descent this is a disintegrate one
6261s	there's there's like uh lightning only
6262s	disintegrate and yeah disintegrates tree
6264s	actually has a really good example of
6266s	this
6267s	um so yeah like this this note here and
6269s	this note here
6271s	um are kind of like color shifted are
6273s	and up here there's fire lightning and
6275s	both
6277s	um
6279s	and
6281s	like so we we definitely have a lot of
6284s	shifted versions of these
6286s	um
6287s	and like so sometimes like when I was
6289s	making a lot of skill tree nodes I would
6291s	just like take the the Sprite over like
6293s	Hue shift it and uh and and call it a
6297s	day you know
6299s	so we do have a lot of
6301s	like slight variations on on nodes but
6305s	we figured it was easier to have the
6307s	recognition for
6309s	um like oh someone's playing a build
6310s	what abilities are on there
6313s	um and like like to be able to recognize
6315s	what the abilities are was more
6317s	important than having the Sprite update
6319s	to reflect any conversions that have
6320s	been taken
6321s	um and that's when these got
6324s	um got added into the skill tree uh
6327s	skills panel
6334s	know
6344s	yes stand in front of me take a couple
6346s	hits
6349s	some of the node lanes are so long
6351s	sensible mainly physical damage of
6353s	breathing a sword chart
6363s	oh crap
6369s	oh
6371s	I knew it was gonna happen and I just
6373s	forgot
6378s	all right let's go let's finish this off
6388s	people are betting on if I'm gonna clear
6390s	this first try or not gasp
6396s	plans to rebounce fire ice to be on par
6398s	with lightning for DPS overall I mean I
6402s	this this is sort of the same answer as
6406s	um
6408s	if there's like like oh like bounce
6411s	melee versus
6413s	um Rings or something like that no we
6415s	don't really look at it from a
6417s	melee versus Range perspective if we
6419s	don't really look at it from a fire
6421s	versus ice perspective or lightning
6422s	versus fire perspective overall balance
6425s	across the board we're more looking at
6426s	which skills need to be balanced
6428s	relative to each other
6442s	Ada one of the first computer scientists
6446s	I'm sure that's not what that name is
6448s	actually referencing
6456s	all right oops no don't do that
6461s	yes take that
6463s	green is good
6468s	okay
6471s	do I do I have Channel points to predict
6472s	with
6473s	can I can I predict oh my gosh people
6476s	think I'm just terrible
6480s	foreign
6482s	ERS can't cast predictions oh come on
6488s	have you no faith in me
6491s	in my abilities
6494s	it's probably smart neither do I
6502s	you can't tip a strike with a bow after
6503s	all yeah
6513s	this guy this guy's been uh had some
6515s	some fixes to make this fight a little
6518s	bit more
6519s	uh
6522s	like like where it makes more like
6525s	the the hitboxes don't perfectly line up
6528s	with the
6531s	um visuals
6533s	um so we've had some fixes for that
6536s	um
6537s	I think fixes for for moving them around
6539s	too
6558s	this
6564s	oh no he walks this way that's bad
6579s	he's even stuck where you look like
6581s	you're out of
6582s	the range of everything but you're not
6588s	it's okay
6590s	got it
6592s	did it
6603s	very good necrotic resistance
6609s	I just saw a commented
6613s	uh yeah Lizzy how come you can't do this
6616s	boss hitless like Mike the god
6620s	foreign
6623s	than I am
6627s	uh that's funny
6631s	oh it won't fit an inventory I'll make
6633s	it fit
6641s	that's a good one
6642s	I like that fight it's good it's got a
6644s	few quirks but it's fun
6650s	all right any plans to add a loot Goblin
6652s	type thing drop gold or other stuff yeah
6654s	I think the loot Goblin is sort of um
6657s	this like accepted game mechanic that's
6660s	just sort of
6662s	um a thing now which I actually really
6663s	love
6666s	um
6666s	it's it's this I think it's a really
6669s	strong we don't okay we don't have any
6670s	specific plans to like Target add one
6673s	right now however I think that it is a
6675s	really positive
6677s	um positive thing to add in and I'd
6680s	really like to see it added in
6683s	um
6684s	I'd also really like to
6687s	um
6688s	yeah I I think it does some cool stuff I
6691s	think when you have a this like this
6693s	random it's a it's a mini event it's a
6695s	mini Quest that happens it has uh
6697s	urgency
6699s	um immediacy it has a clear payoff
6701s	reward that's exciting
6703s	um like all these things that I think
6706s	does really well I I love it we're gonna
6707s	try um legendary one here and see what
6709s	happens
6711s	see how badly I just get slapped back
6713s	down
6717s	we'll try well trading I can there's
6720s	like two words that I'm gonna be like no
6722s	comment uh will trading be tied to a
6724s	dungeon will I have to complete a
6726s	dungeon with another player to trade no
6728s	comment
6729s	um no no information on trade yet sorry
6731s	we'll release more info when we have it
6734s	available and we're ready to share
6737s	uh I love the I do love the dopamine
6740s	button hey hey transfer mats
6747s	yeah this is like like you can feel the
6749s	it's not a huge difference but like zero
6753s	modifiers in and it's already like yeah
6756s	stuff beefier
6761s	since MTX will be coming in 0.9 do you
6764s	have any examples of any skill changes
6766s	that you can show
6768s	um no I don't think there's any MTX
6770s	skill changes that are implemented yet
6775s	um
6777s	the like the the early stuff is like we
6780s	just just finished
6782s	um
6786s	like
6787s	the I I don't know if it was just
6789s	finished there may be more that I don't
6790s	know but I just saw the first myself
6792s	that I've seen of uh like an armor set
6795s	that's um skinned and like set up and
6799s	rigged and everything for I don't know
6800s	the terms for the things that need to
6802s	happen to make these work but that's set
6804s	up for all five character classes so
6806s	that it works on all of their that's
6808s	mine and one too far to the right on the
6810s	keyboard
6811s	um so it's set up to work with all five
6812s	character models
6815s	um
6819s	oh wow this is this is significantly
6821s	harder right off the bat
6826s	something's still shooting me
6828s	stop it
6833s	much better
6842s	when will the next multiplayer stream
6844s	with a community streamer be uh I don't
6847s	think we have another timeline set up
6850s	for that I'd love to do one
6853s	um helps you a bunch
6856s	I think it'd be great I think that'd be
6858s	a really positive thing to do
6860s	um I think we're getting
6861s	a little bit further there's some stuff
6863s	that's like right now there's some stuff
6865s	in the multiplayer build that is like
6868s	hidden information
6870s	like early versions of item transfer
6873s	systems you know things like that
6875s	um
6876s	that we're not really ready to share so
6879s	it's kind of hard to do a multiplayer uh
6882s	uh uh test with that I mean we could we
6885s	could make a special build for it where
6886s	we like strip that out
6888s	oh my goodness
6898s	I hit like 20 points and stacks there
6901s	was dangerous
6904s	um yeah silly we we had to probably make
6906s	a special build to strip some of those
6908s	things out because there are
6910s	um like I was mentioning earlier about
6911s	the the way that we do releases and and
6914s	polish releases and things like that
6916s	um there's there's definitely missing
6918s	stuff in the CT builds like several CT
6921s	builds there's like
6922s	um some of you may remember that one
6924s	time we released and Fireball was pink
6926s	was bright pink and it's because the
6928s	texture was missing for it and it's
6929s	really rare that we missed something
6930s	like that for uh for a primary build
6933s	like a a Mainline proper build does
6936s	happen but it's been a while and um but
6940s	the CC build this every single one of
6941s	them has missing textures in it
6943s	um like that's that's the the
6946s	um
6947s	attention to detail level that we put
6949s	into those like there we try and make
6951s	sure that they are functional fun and
6952s	they work and everything like that but
6954s	if there's if there's little things like
6956s	that it's not uh considered
6958s	um like urgent to fix
6962s	creation nice
6965s	basically a mirror
6968s	you ever seen one of those oh
6971s	yeah
6974s	it's great if you have
6976s	um so you've got an exalted item that
6978s	you love
6980s	um and you um so you've got like an item
6983s	with like two LP on it and you want to
6985s	like take a shot at and then getting the
6987s	exalted item is is like the the valuable
6990s	part of that transaction
6993s	you can um you can duplicate these Ultra
6995s	items like with this in order to uh to
6998s	get a set to get two shots at the lp
7000s	roll or you can like
7002s	use it on one that's like 2lp and save
7004s	up the other one for one that's three LP
7006s	or something like that
7014s	foreign
