2s	good afternoon everybody and welcome
4s	back to another last Epoch de stream
8s	hello how's it going it's me it's Mike
11s	what's going
12s	on we are hanging out and having some
17s	fun um see yeah some big big news today
21s	uh contest winner on R Veil today all
24s	sorts of cool stuff happening um stick
26s	around it's gonna be fun we've got uh I
29s	apologize if I'm a little horse today
32s	I've got the I've got something it's not
34s	the something I know that for
37s	sure um so yeah we're just going to hang
40s	out house some fun as always we stream
41s	for charity Charity's above my head
43s	right here all of it goes there
46s	um
48s	yeah let's get ready oh if you have a
50s	question for me I'll be happy to answer
51s	it please put at last OT game in the
54s	question in chat I'll say that again
56s	later um let's have some fun um so to
60s	today we are we had uh we had a Build
63s	contest um that was focused around um
66s	three pretty prominent community members
68s	and uh and and their their gaming
70s	communities for for suggesting a build
72s	for us to play on stream and um we I
75s	have the winner here that I'm playing it
77s	right now already um the the winner May
80s	recognize things a little too
83s	much um but yeah this is this is the
86s	winning build and we've got some uh
88s	we've got some great stuff here really
90s	well put together build um I do do I
93s	just say who won I I don't even know
95s	how uh I don't even know how I unveil
98s	something like this I feel like it might
100s	already be
101s	obvious this is the spoon mancer or the
105s	the spoon run Master spoon
108s	master I like spoon Master better but
111s	spoon Master makes more sense um so we
114s	are we are using Mad Alchemist Ladle as
116s	our main weapon which is awesome um and
120s	it's it's it's using Frost wall to buff
123s	up a bunch of stuff and you're flame
124s	rushing through it and you're kind of
125s	just dropping all sorts of runic
127s	invocations like crazy and the r bolt is
129s	reversed order so you get a bunch of
130s	stuff that's you don't normally get
132s	access to um very
136s	easily uh and we are we are speced into
138s	flame Ward as well but we're triggering
140s	that automatically through Frost wall so
141s	we've got glyph Dominion as an extra
143s	free skill and we're speced into the
145s	extra Rune bolts in
148s	it this is a great build this is just
150s	sort of like this is the this is the
152s	kitchen sink of Rune Master builds using
156s	the best weapon ever and they were also
159s	kind enough to leave us with a 2 LP
161s	version of it in our inventory uh so we
163s	can go we can go do a roll here see what
165s	happens and and they also may have left
167s	a beautiful wand right beside it to uh
169s	to use for
170s	that so without further Ado I'm just
172s	going to hop in and try it um if you
174s	want a full breakdown on this build and
177s	what it does and all the details and how
179s	it works and everything uh Aaron has a
182s	video over on his channel Aaron X RPG
184s	which is the channel that won um
188s	and uh yeah it's it's pretty cool we're
191s	g we're g to have some fun and try it
192s	out I'm just going to Mouse over
194s	everything really quickly so people can
196s	see if you want to pause things or clip
198s	stuff we got that ring we can uh do some
201s	LP crafting
207s	on just a little little bit overview
210s	look at the character sheet I
212s	guess if you want to see things
215s	um little little dip into sorcerer but
218s	mostly in run Master uh as expected um I
222s	will just fli through this really
223s	quickly basically just if someone really
225s	wants to pause it here but the full
226s	video is over on Aaron's Channel much
228s	better to go do that um and let's go
230s	have some fun and this is so I think
232s	this is I was told that this should be
234s	able to handle no problem 200 corruption
236s	like easy and we're only on 100 here so
238s	maybe maybe I should check out the other
239s	timelines to see if they're
243s	higher
248s	156 100 can I check there might be
251s	another way to check this I'm just a
254s	noob is Mike a noob
257s	yes we're do this
260s	one let's go okay let's try let's try
263s	and find a shade quickly and crank it up
264s	so just just just go right not
269s	there
272s	all right so I got I saw I missed some
273s	questions let's go back and read those
274s	off so yeah welcome to the stream
276s	everybody glad to have you all with us
279s	um oh yeah this also this also I should
281s	mention this is also a lowlife uh Ward
284s	run Master as well so it's not it's it's
287s	it's a little out there so we're using
290s	some like generally Necromancer
293s	gear um or Lich
298s	gear but you know what and I and I will
300s	do this wrong and uh that's
304s	okay that is
315s	okay the one thing so I was I was
317s	looking at this build and I was like I
318s	think that an auto trigger
321s	on um uh glyphid Dominion on um Rune M
327s	on on flame Rush end I I think would be
330s	really good as well um I don't know
332s	where that is in here yeah so like like
333s	getting this one I think it it the the
335s	problem with it is is that it uh does uh
339s	give you a little less control and it's
340s	a bit it's a it's more Mana as
343s	well you can't just cast it yourself but
347s	I thought that would smooth things out a
348s	little
352s	bit and I do apologize to build thises
355s	when I like just butcher the actual
357s	playing of it I'm like this looks like I
358s	can just like face roll right and it's
359s	going to be a ton of fun yeah all right
361s	let's
376s	go yeah all right okay I should answer
379s	some questions so we've got some
380s	questions here in chat hi just wanted to
382s	check on that 2023 release is stoping
384s	right um we we actually funny you
387s	mentioned this we just announced that
390s	that is not the case anymore um so if
392s	you have um if you haven't seen yet you
398s	head on over to our forums or anything
400s	else that will probably link to the
401s	forums thank you very much
405s	somebody uh I'm just going to put this
408s	link in chat really quick and then I
410s	will see who that was okay so if you
412s	haven't seen that yet check that
415s	out
417s	um who is that llama hey who welcome
422s	back 22 months in a row we're getting
424s	close to those two year mark
427s	wow thank you very much glad to have you
431s	here hope you're having
435s	fun we don't learn anything here we just
437s	have
446s	fun
448s	uh more questions oh yes so uh release
451s	date is now February
453s	21st um
455s	2024 um there's there's a few few things
458s	that that contributed to doing this um I
461s	won't go too into details here but
464s	um it's it it's just a bunch of bunch of
467s	little things that came together and it
468s	it really didn't make sense to launch
470s	where we were going to launch before um
472s	anymore we we had we had really planned
474s	on keeping it where we were and we were
476s	really happy with what was happening and
477s	everything and um you know just just
480s	stopped making
490s	sense yeah getting getting in that Glyph
493s	of dominion to get the five shots feels
495s	really important and so I'm really
497s	trying to do
498s	that it's a little
502s	tricky uh right next question hi I'm
505s	currently having a problem Oh yes gForce
508s	it now you can't learn any filters so
509s	yes this is a known problem on GeForce
511s	now um it is technically an unsupported
514s	platform that just happens to almost
516s	work
518s	um so it's it's not something we're
520s	we're really prioritizing fixing at the
522s	moment um it's not to say it won't be
525s	fixed but it's just not um it's not it's
529s	not number one on the list right now
531s	sorry but yes this is this is something
533s	we do know about um and would like to
535s	see fixed as soon as we can um it's just
538s	there's there's bigger fish fried at the
557s	moment there's a lot going on
560s	here I feel very tanky though I will say
562s	that and I might just not be in like a
564s	high enough damage area
567s	yet like fall full full exalted
570s	did anyone else see the uh random
573s	tangent on the um on the forums either
577s	yesterday or the day before possibly
578s	someone posted a like uh a triple
581s	exalted with like an empty slot and 43
584s	craft or um forging potential still on
586s	it like oh it was nice that was that was
590s	that was pretty I like that I turn to
593s	filter on anyways let's just do our
596s	generic uh let's do do remaster here we
600s	go it's pretty
604s	basic all
609s	right hi Mike uh during monolith I'm
613s	given a choice sometimes dream of the
616s	Future Past what does it change um so
619s	you're prob I
622s	I I think this is when you beat a boss
625s	is that what you're talking
628s	about like the end of
631s	it and and it's deciding which one of
633s	these like like you beat this one and
635s	it's asking if you want to go right or
636s	left
638s	basically there's like multiple paths to
640s	go on and it's asking which way you want
641s	to go I think that's what that
645s	is if it's in a chat window at the
647s	bottom that's what it
654s	is um let's keep
658s	going have you considered giving set
660s	pieces legendary potential yes this
663s	question gets asked extremely frequently
667s	uh and we've considered it many times um
671s	there's a much longer explanation as to
672s	why we don't want to do that um
674s	available but the tldr is we'd like set
677s	items to be set items and not unique
680s	items with a set
686s	AIX uh do you plan to fix uh skill bugs
690s	before 1.0 um we are working to fix
694s	every single skill bug we can so the
696s	every single bug we can every bug's on
699s	the list and we're going to try and fix
700s	every single one of them but you know
701s	who knows which ones exactly will be
703s	fixed I don't know um we are going to
706s	keep working on them and keep fixing as
707s	many as we can um right up until right
710s	up until the hard cut off for launch um
713s	and we'll keep fixing them after that
716s	too um but yeah so it's it's all just
720s	yeah I I can't guarantee specific skills
723s	will get fixed um but all of the skill
726s	bugs are on the list to get
732s	fixed all right right right right right
736s	so excited about the delay release
737s	announcement Epoch really needs its time
739s	to shine in the Sun so the RPG Community
741s	can truly see what an amazing game is BU
743s	thank you very
747s	much uh hope you're all good do you know
750s	if there's going to be another open beta
752s	for people who haven't purchased yet
754s	before 1.0 launch thank you for all the
756s	effort uh I I I haven't heard anything
759s	about another open beta for people who
762s	have not purchased the game um so I do
764s	not think it will happen um that doesn't
767s	mean it 100% won't but I I would be very
770s	surprised so do not expect
776s	it I'm pumped up today yeah you are
779s	congrat rets on your team
780s	[Music]
785s	win I was right about that I'm not just
787s	like crazy and just be like announcing
788s	the wrong thing that be that would be
789s	that' be bad that' be
795s	bad
803s	okay why is my life going to full I
805s	think cuz I have a ton of leech
808s	somewhere
824s	um low
830s	Health do say leech
838s	anywhere I don't know where it is
841s	somewhere we've got something that's
842s	given us a bunch of Health I didn't
843s	change a thing this is exactly how I
847s	found
851s	it I wouldn't be there that would be
859s	dumb I do not know why our health is
861s	going
868s	up I don't hate
875s	it this builds a ton of fun to play it's
878s	it's like I I feel like I'm just I've
881s	got a toolbox and every time I need to
883s	do something I just like open up the
884s	toolbox and and find something awesome
886s	to to pull
898s	out
909s	I love the trient builds cuz they're not
911s	supposed to like like they're supposed
913s	to work but they're not like supposed to
917s	work you
919s	know am I making any sense or am I just
921s	a crazy person I know I know I'm a crazy
923s	like just a crazy
928s	person
933s	give me that
934s	[Music]
939s	XP I want to strengthen up that tighten
941s	up that
944s	filter hey King
949s	s somebody really somebody yeah somebody
952s	just
955s	somebody hadn't seen it yet I'm sorry
964s	you learn how not to face tank stuff
965s	yeah uh I notic that there are no normal
968s	chest spotting in monoliths is there a
970s	specific reason for that uh I don't
975s	know I don't
980s	know they're probably just generally not
982s	awesome
983s	enough and uh I don't know maybe they
987s	just need to be more awesomer
994s	of the game anything you can share on
996s	Seasons uh yeah I mean they'll be pretty
998s	pretty bog standard for uh for what
1000s	you'd expect from like the the general
1003s	framework of how season's going to work
1005s	um we're calling them
1007s	Cycles you'll uh everyone will start
1009s	from from level one uh there'll be like
1012s	a fresh economy reset you'll be
1016s	um uh competing on a ladder
1030s	[Music]
1032s	um not sure what
1034s	else there'll be there'll be like new
1036s	things will come each each time a cycle
1037s	starts like so there'll be a new a new
1039s	season ladder with a new patch and
1041s	there'll be new stuff that happens so
1043s	there might be like new um I I don't
1046s	know there could be there could be new
1048s	well in this case there's going to be
1049s	the item factions which is going to be
1052s	huge
1054s	um and there will be the uh the falconer
1059s	and the Warlock as well so those are the
1061s	big three things for this one
1063s	um is there an exalted hiding there but
1065s	I it's just
1077s	recolored
1079s	there are some nice things in glyph
1081s	dominions tree that make it a lot easier
1082s	to use with
1084s	the
1086s	um with with the as like a place to
1089s	stand in as well but I do really like
1091s	having that that flame W trigger that
1093s	happens going through the through the
1095s	wall with like a spec
1098s	[Music]
1103s	flame now that hand of judgment is fixed
1105s	and therefore not good anymore question
1108s	mark
1109s	uh any plans to buff for judgment first
1112s	uh totally not righteous Fire players um
1115s	we we
1116s	have uh I don't have any specific
1119s	information on upcoming balance changes
1122s	um it's possible that it could get some
1124s	updates who
1126s	knows oh that could actually be a decent
1129s	uh starting point for a
1132s	ring uh for
1137s	this was probably a bad one right here
1139s	yeah there's a way better one right
1140s	there let's go do that that sounds like
1147s	fun you know that sounds like a lot of
1165s	fun come
1167s	on
1171s	what what's what's going on come on come
1190s	on not
1193s	bad let's get out of here okay we're
1196s	going to a magical land of gumdrops and
1199s	jelly beans also known as temporal
1203s	sanctum and we are going to attempt
1206s	to make this
1208s	wand really
1212s	awesome um sorry for ruining your
1215s	sorting because I could tell you
1216s	actually had sorted that out
1218s	nicely I just rued one Fell Swoop all
1221s	right what level is it 17
1223s	easy let's go find a key in here
1226s	somewhere temporal sanctum key love
1233s	right click on the key takes you two on
1234s	the
1235s	map
1255s	yeah uh are all skill V effects areas
1259s	death animations that haven't been still
1261s	touched up be up to your new
1264s	standards touched be up to your new
1267s	standard on 1.0 oh like are we going to
1268s	just do all the things that haven't been
1270s	done to a higher standard yet um uh how
1273s	how many skills each class going to have
1275s	on launch um the number of skills each
1278s	class is going to have at launch will
1279s	not be um equal across the
1283s	board
1285s	uh we don't have to do the hard one but
1287s	should we
1289s	just to like you know show we
1292s	can do we Okay do if we have gloves that
1295s	will uh go nicely into those then yeah
1299s	we
1301s	will
1306s	um but unless we have gloves that do
1309s	we're
1310s	not cuz we're a
1317s	chicken
1321s	I don't see anything oh throwing damage
1324s	hey so
1326s	good not what's the throne damage doing
1330s	there
1338s	huh okay let's just let's just you know
1341s	let's let's take it
1344s	easy let's start with this one we'll
1346s	we're going to do a few of these we're
1347s	going to do a few of these I think cuz
1348s	we've got a few exalted to make or
1350s	legendaries to make intrude upon my
1353s	research no matter so we're going we're
1355s	going to ramp up we'll do we'll do two
1356s	three four we'll try and do all the way
1358s	to four I think we can um are are is so
1361s	is everything going to be brought up to
1362s	the same standard
1364s	um we're going to try and get everything
1366s	we can up the same standard like it's
1368s	it's it's not nothing will intentionally
1369s	be left behind
1372s	um but like you
1377s	know where is is that St like where did
1379s	that standard line actually start
1381s	exactly it's kind of hard to
1384s	pinpoint
1390s	um so like I I don't I don't know
1393s	exactly
1398s	um if every skill you're thinking of is
1401s	going to be is going to count you
1405s	know but we are constantly working to
1407s	upgrade uh the quality of of all of our
1412s	skills I think they've gotten really
1414s	fantastic lately like I I I think the
1417s	it's that's the thing it's sort of this
1419s	like continuous increase of of awesome
1422s	and it's not just like uh okay well on
1424s	this date they were bad and on this date
1426s	they were good so um everything that was
1428s	before this date is bad you know like
1429s	there's no there's no hard cut off line
1431s	you can just point
1432s	to
1434s	um so we're probably more looking at uh
1438s	just you know find the worst one and and
1441s	make it better type type
1444s	situation right now we're really focused
1446s	on falcon or warlock um and then a few
1449s	key skills that are really in need of
1451s	some love um and you know it keeps going
1455s	it keeps going
1456s	after um I do like that if you just hold
1459s	that cold um flame Rush with the
1462s	AutoCast of the invocation and it turns
1465s	into blizzard so it like it puts a DOT
1467s	right above your head you kind of hang
1468s	out there and be a little bit covered I
1470s	really like that nice
1476s	touch oh
1481s	oh uh let's try this
1484s	way looks
1491s	promising
1492s	[Music]
1494s	yes let's
1496s	go exalted mods take it
1503s	uh how many skills each class going to
1504s	have at launch um let's see here they're
1506s	going to be I would say well let's let's
1509s	up the skills panel un
1517s	look every every every class will have
1521s	um I think Rogue will have the fewest
1524s	overall uh
1526s	skills um Prim list will probably be
1529s	next
1530s	least uh and Mage will have the most I
1533s	can say that for
1535s	certain
1538s	um
1542s	yeah blessing me thank
1545s	you uh and Shad excited for the February
1548s	release
1549s	yes uh will all Zones look the same by
1553s	quality as let's say uh alumino
1555s	Highlands in monos um
1559s	no Highlands um we
1563s	are same answer as before we are working
1566s	pretty heavily for our um level design
1568s	team on uh the next chapters for uh for
1571s	the game
1575s	itself okay I thought the time TR for a
1577s	second was giving a
1579s	uh Rune I was like uh
1583s	no it wasn't though I'm just I'm just a
1585s	crazy person it's fine I'm just losing
1588s	it don't mind
1598s	me just stuff everywhere it's so
1606s	fantastic I love this
1611s	one we don't have a ton of dot damage I
1614s	don't
1616s	think might have a good chunk though
1624s	worth
1627s	it worth
1630s	it all right I hope that February 21st
1633s	224 will be just the beginning of a
1635s	great adventure with your game me too I
1637s	think it will
1639s	be hey Travelers Mike any comments on
1643s	the renck invocation node stride to
1646s	safety uh let me go look at up first cuz
1648s	I don't know what they are off the top
1649s	of my head cuz you know just like uber
1652s	Noob over
1655s	here and that's
1664s	okay this guy this guy just
1668s	uh okay what R invocation node stride
1672s	it's probably the jump isn't
1674s	it am I like running somehow I was not
1678s	touching the what was happening
1683s	there that was
1689s	wild look did pretty well without trying
1697s	somehow I really like that one lightning
1699s	fire
1701s	fire or lightning cold
1704s	cold
1706s	oh oh
1721s	oh okay let me just I'm just trying to
1723s	get somewhere safe to like read this
1725s	note I just keep going to find more
1726s	enemies
1728s	okay ring vacation stride to safety it's
1731s	the Hop jump thing isn't
1735s	it leave backwards uncast when you d
1737s	irly cast rication you leap backwards a
1739s	short distance hovering in the air for a
1741s	moment in this state you take less
1742s	damage and directly casting rication uh
1745s	deals more damage both multiplicative
1747s	with other modifiers the effect of
1750s	enigma no longer works when taking this
1752s	node rication gains the movement
1758s	tag this is Enigma here for anyone
1762s	wondering uh it's a little blink forward
1765s	aftercast so it's it's an override for
1767s	this one it's neither or E either
1770s	or uh okay back to the question I had a
1772s	friend who doesn't play ask me why the
1774s	jump mechanic I said well it just seems
1776s	cool yeah no one's really using it uh
1780s	but I did use it in my build comp entry
1782s	and found it fun but I was curious what
1784s	the idea behind the was I mean yeah it's
1787s	it it looks cool it feels cool sometimes
1789s	there's like um you know it's it's like
1792s	a minor disengage where
1795s	um one of the core things for like like
1797s	a spellcaster frequently is you want to
1799s	be a little bit at range right um and we
1801s	try and give those tools more to sorc
1803s	than anyone else um we do want to give
1805s	those options elsewhere as well um and
1808s	so just like it's a little bit
1810s	of another option for how you want to
1812s	build movement into your uh incorporate
1815s	movement into your build that's sort of
1816s	the main thing and and it probably was
1818s	it like the way this probably came up in
1820s	the the the pitch meeting I can't
1821s	remember exactly how this node was
1822s	pitched um it's probably just in in a
1824s	large brainstorming session but like I I
1825s	bet it was probably just like I mean
1828s	that sounds
1831s	cool that's that's probably the the
1833s	first thing yeah sometimes that's all it
1838s	takes all are there going to be more
1840s	glyphs and runes in 1.0 on release will
1842s	there be any Uber bosses on 1.0 um more
1846s	glyphs and runes on
1847s	1.0
1856s	um uh I
1860s	we we have more planned um and I don't
1863s	know if they're going to be at 1.0 or
1865s	after or not I'm
1867s	sorry but we do have specific ones
1869s	planned for specific
1872s	situations um and Uber boss on 1.0 there
1875s	will not be an Uber boss
1886s	1.0
1891s	I mean it's far enough that I shouldn't
1892s	really say that there's not one planned
1893s	at the
1905s	moment uh can we still play with friends
1907s	that are not C uh in the current season
1910s	cycle um characters that are playing in
1913s	the current season cycle will not be
1915s	able to play with characters that are
1916s	not playing in the current season cycle
1918s	um because it is a competitive
1920s	environment in the season cycle and
1922s	having the ability to play with someone
1924s	who has been able to exist in a
1926s	character outside of that competitive
1927s	environment for much longer than before
1929s	it started would be a very significant
1930s	Edge in that uh competition so it' be
1933s	like um if you were going to go and like
1937s	sign sign a sign a 10-year-old up to
1940s	play to play um to play hockey and um
1943s	but they also came with their like
1948s	20-year-old
1949s	brother uh who who played in the NHL and
1953s	and was like all right we're we're going
1955s	to come on the team together and play
1956s	together and it's it's like a huge
1959s	unbelievable Advantage for that that
1962s	10-year-old playing on the team with his
1963s	20-year- brother from the NHL you know
1964s	like it's
1966s	um it it it complet it would make um
1970s	having uh like a rusher type character
1973s	be mandatory so you wouldn't be able to
1976s	play the cycle alone you you'd have to
1978s	be part of a team um to even have like
1981s	remote possibility of competing at
1992s	all they can probably just face tank
1995s	that but not
1997s	that don't try and face tank that escape
2000s	is
2002s	impossible Pro strats for Mike don't
2005s	face tank the one shot
2009s	also don't do what I just did there
2012s	really just don't do anything I do
2013s	because I'm
2028s	terrible come on is
2036s	impossible
2044s	yes cannot
2053s	be and we came back here because these
2055s	totems were up and the these pillars
2056s	were up and these pillars only exist in
2058s	this era normally I don't like coming
2060s	back early cuz if you uh you mess up
2062s	that timing you're just you're
2066s	done
2068s	so
2072s	hey let's pick up all those things just
2074s	just
2081s	just um so yeah with the season cycle
2083s	thing so yeah you're um any characters
2085s	that are created on the season cycle are
2087s	in a completely different play
2088s	environment a different Universe a
2089s	different realm whatever you want to
2090s	call it than the people that are in
2092s	Legacy that are not starting new cycle
2096s	character
2101s	but like you could still
2103s	play non cycle you know if you wanted
2110s	to
2112s	um yeah I'm just going to go straight
2114s	forward I'm not going to I'm not even
2115s	going to look at what else I have I
2116s	think this is set up so nicely for us
2119s	and I'm just realizing now that I'm in
2123s	the oh no that's fine it's fine it's the
2125s	level of the unique not the level of the
2127s	ex got it got it okay let's do
2131s	this I really hope the person who uh
2134s	made this
2136s	build uh did this exact thing and got a
2139s	better version than whatever I'm about
2140s	to
2143s	get uh one of my friends enjoys the RPGs
2147s	but doesn't have much time to play it
2149s	and Seasons always put him off when he
2151s	has to start over again I like Seasons
2154s	personally but are offseason Champs able
2156s	to play no okay sorry to say same
2157s	question no they're
2158s	not it it would it would completely ruin
2162s	the competitive environment for season
2164s	if we allow that I'm sorry we got we
2166s	sometimes we got to make
2169s	um sometimes we got to make uh hard
2171s	choices and one thing two things
2174s	conflict and we we got to pick one over
2175s	the other
2177s	sorry thanks for the answer now I can go
2178s	back to my uh regular warlock spoiler
2186s	begging
2189s	uh favorite snack to haveo playing Le I
2192s	really
2194s	like
2197s	show really like these little seaweed
2199s	snacks little little little pack of
2201s	seaweed snacks they're just like there's
2203s	nothing to them but they're they're just
2205s	like this little little little bit of
2206s	salt little
2208s	crunch little squ to see what's next
2210s	they come in like a little like like tin
2212s	like
2213s	this I just finished my last one like
2215s	two hours ago
2217s	what do we get oh we got the spell
2219s	damage and the ignite that's a good one
2221s	too nice that's really
2224s	good wow all right that's
2232s	fantastic good
2235s	good
2243s	wonderful all right there we
2246s	go
2249s	let's go
2258s	again all right does following uh mean
2262s	something we still haven't seen
2264s	following like like following the the
2266s	stream channel no I don't think so um
2269s	some new standard or with what zone
2272s	combat feel
2274s	currently can you compare the following
2276s	last box 1.0 launch will Mark A New
2279s	Beginning for a
2281s	Terra and will set a new bar for Quality
2285s	polish gameplay feel and visual
2291s	Excellence
2293s	what can you compare the
2299s	following sorry I I don't understand I I
2301s	don't know if I'm just not I I feel like
2304s	I'm just misreading something there I'm
2305s	sorry I can't understand that
2307s	my my brain just is is not is not
2309s	working right now I'm sorry uh rephrase
2313s	that and ask it again I'll be happy to
2314s	try again sorry uh right any new skills
2317s	the Rogue is going to get for 1.0 except
2320s	falconers um there's uh maybe
2325s	maybe there's one on
2327s	the
2330s	um if the if if the falconer skills get
2332s	done fast enough
2336s	list
2345s	uh there a highlighted message here you
2347s	don't need to highlight your messages
2348s	for me to see them just put at last depu
2349s	game and I I'll I'll pretty reliably see
2352s	it but yes um no problem uh hello are
2356s	you going to do something about the
2358s	error that I can't even get into game
2360s	let alone play it um so I don't have any
2363s	information on bug fixes or patches or
2368s	um like when when certain fixes are
2369s	going to go out I'm I'm sorry um we are
2372s	working to fix every single bug we can
2374s	um if it's been reported on the forums
2377s	which I absolutely know it has cuz seen
2379s	it um it's on the list of things to
2383s	fix um I have no information on the
2385s	status of ongoing bugs and or when they
2389s	will be fixed or not I don't know I'm
2395s	sorry
2401s	um if you if you want help with your
2403s	problem if you think we can possibly
2405s	help you and you'd like to get help you
2407s	can contact us through a support site um
2411s	I I I'll mess it up if I try to say just
2413s	Google support last Epoch um and if it's
2415s	possible that we can help you we'll try
2417s	our
2424s	best all right you did it wrong Mike
2427s	you're supposed to Face tank the the UNF
2429s	tankal ability oh
2432s	whoops wait can this build face tank
2435s	that
2437s	no that would be pretty
2442s	sweet I don't believe it
2448s	though I like that
2452s	um I don't know what it's called the
2454s	like the Cascade the the the the the
2456s	mini glacial
2460s	Cascade should have paid more attention
2462s	to the namings of these
2466s	things some of the two two uh tier 2 uh
2469s	invocations are actually really good
2471s	that one whatever that one's called I
2473s	like it it's cool it's neat I'm a fan I
2476s	do it's interesting because I it's um
2478s	something that I know Aaron mentioned in
2480s	the build guide for this video was the
2482s	um the switching of the order of the Rin
2484s	bolt actually having a significant
2485s	impact on gameplay and like I I I heard
2488s	it went yeah okay I I see it but really
2490s	maybe um and now that I'm like actually
2493s	playing with it a bunch it feels
2494s	different cuz you are just naturally
2495s	getting different invocations that you
2496s	don't normally get so I'd really like
2499s	that it's almost like there's
2501s	there's like just an ALT
2505s	mode all right what skill have you
2508s	enjoyed designing the most so far
2509s	designing the most so far and what is
2511s	your favorite warlock
2512s	skill well I can't tell you the name of
2514s	my favorite warlock skill um
2518s	so I'll just say it's the um it's the
2521s	like the the CL the Mastery skills my
2523s	favorite ones like the one that that
2524s	shows up here down here like the the one
2527s	that's like specific to the Mastery
2528s	that's my favorite warlock skill
2531s	um and it's a little
2534s	unassuming
2537s	um but just it just feels
2541s	right I like
2545s	it
2548s	um as far as which one I've had the most
2550s	fun designing overall that's really
2552s	tough too
2553s	um I really enjoyed multishot weirdly
2556s	enough it kind of felt like coming
2558s	home
2561s	um
2570s	and yeah bear uh we bear
2573s	form we bear form was a ton of fun
2578s	I weed that one twice that was tough to
2581s	do as well I think that's probably the
2582s	reason why I enjoyed it so much because
2583s	it was tough to
2593s	do catapult not throwing I should I
2596s	should learn that uh that AIC name at
2599s	this some
2604s	point all right
2607s	does minus 100% additional crit damage
2611s	reduction
2614s	uh that that that can't be how that note
2617s	is
2621s	worded there's just there's just no way
2631s	um reduced this one okay I think this I
2633s	think this is the we're talking
2635s	about uh uh crit damage reduction yes
2638s	reduce bonus damage taken from critical
2640s	strikes I think this is the we're
2641s	talking about work the same as 100% crit
2643s	avoidance could I be mising it does not
2645s	it it does not work the same as crit
2647s	avoidance 100% crit avoidance
2654s	um I mean
2657s	like the the thing is is that
2663s	the the crit avoidance can be like Chang
2667s	changed like you can
2669s	still like you can you can get that
2680s	debuffed
2682s	um actually that might not be in the
2684s	game
2690s	anymore yeah that may have got taken out
2693s	I'm
2695s	sorry
2703s	yeah sorry that may not be right anymore
2706s	I have I have a problem with this
2708s	sometimes where I I remember old
2709s	versions of how things
2711s	were
2716s	um did I catch up how have I caught up
2720s	so weird I honestly so I was I was
2724s	terrified about
2729s	um I I was terrified about this stream
2732s	because I thought this was going to be a
2734s	a little bit more
2737s	muchness um given the recent
2739s	announcement but
2742s	I'm not not not mad about
2745s	it um it's
2748s	great I'm really happy that we're going
2750s	to be able to have a chance to extend
2752s	the development cycle a little
2755s	bit
2776s	these loading screens are taking a long
2778s	time for me
2780s	today little little weird you know what
2783s	I can do in the meantime though because
2784s	I got cool stuff oh I got cool stuff oh
2788s	loaded anyways we'll do cool stuff
2790s	anyways Let's do let's do something cool
2792s	anyways who cares right it's a a swap
2798s	Monster uh here's here's some concept
2801s	art um it's pretty cool I wonder what it
2805s	is maybe it's a new uh
2812s	[Laughter]
2815s	transform
2818s	it's not new transform by the way just
2820s	just to be
2823s	clear uh congratulations on uh run
2828s	Master great class is there any chance
2830s	you will revisit sorcerer Spell blade
2831s	passive Tre as much fun as Room Master
2833s	is the other two are equally uh painful
2836s	to play
2838s	um we are focusing right now on uh the
2843s	passive trees for uh Rogue and uh
2846s	acolyte specifically Warlock and um
2851s	Falcon but yeah there's um there's
2853s	definitely room for improvements on all
2854s	all the passive trees um especially some
2857s	of the older ones that haven't had like
2859s	many threshold nodes put in yet um
2861s	there's a few things we did for Spell
2863s	blade and how is this possible yeah okay
2866s	that's fine thought I was like oh it
2868s	triggered the game the uh the boss fight
2870s	or something are there
2872s	any uh no we didn't put any in here
2876s	oh do we yes okay so we have started to
2880s	sprinkle in um some threshold
2882s	nodes
2885s	um am I on I'm on still okay yeah
2892s	good I just do
2900s	this
2902s	no maybe threshold okay no it doesn't
2905s	work that cool though should I should
2907s	add
2910s	that all right moving right along here
2913s	congratulations on run Master great
2915s	class thank you is there any chance you
2916s	will re oh I already answered this my
2919s	goodness I am uh a little out of it
2923s	today I've been I've been quite sick and
2926s	I
2927s	am uh I know I probably don't appear
2929s	that sick right
2932s	now uh Tylenol
2934s	is very very good when used correctly
2937s	and in
2950s	moderation all
2959s	right M just that's entirely my fault I
2962s	just like looked
2965s	away
2966s	oh my God I'm playing with the the
2968s	screen
2970s	[Applause]
2975s	up nobody saw that nobody saw that
2978s	actually actually nobody saw
2980s	that hello people in town let's put
2982s	let's put our wings
2984s	on can we can we all pretend that didn't
2987s	happen and uh just just you
2991s	know actually I like that other
2994s	chest yeah but I do you want a pet um I
2998s	want this guy
3002s	yeah and we're going to do this one to
3004s	go with
3006s	it
3008s	and this one to go with it there we go
3012s	now now now we'll be
3015s	fine now we'll be
3019s	fine
3024s	oh I don't know what you're talking
3026s	about it was all a
3029s	dream we've got to have another key here
3047s	somewhere got to have another key there
3049s	it is
3053s	yes oh all right Michael wake
3060s	up may I ask why fire Aura a damage over
3064s	time spell has most of its passives in
3066s	the Spell blade tree uh the melee attack
3069s	Mastery seems like they have very little
3071s	overlap except for increased melee
3073s	damage per fire or a stack which is uh
3075s	just kind of forced in your opinion um
3078s	yeah so the first off Anton v e resub
3083s	thank you very much glad to have you
3084s	with us says thanks for this amazing
3087s	game p for 1.0 me too you're welcome I
3089s	am glad you're enjoying it um back to
3091s	the question um for why why does fire AA
3094s	and spellblade make
3098s	sense well we don't really think of
3100s	spellblade as the um melee attack
3103s	Mastery
3104s	for uh for for mage which might seem
3107s	kind of weird we actually think of
3108s	spellblade as the short range Mastery
3111s	for mage um and so it's it's more
3114s	focused around
3116s	physically being near your enemies for
3118s	the most part um so most and most melee
3121s	attacks do lend themselves better to
3122s	that uh situation so all of these things
3124s	are U melee range or help you get in out
3128s	of melee range or buff melee damage
3129s	things like that so it's it is all like
3131s	it might seem very melee just as melee
3133s	is the thing but really the thing that
3134s	ties it all together for us anyways
3136s	design wise is um is range more so than
3139s	anything else
3141s	um
3144s	yeah that's that's why
3150s	there hope that makes
3154s	sense how useful is armor shred very
3157s	very useful if you're dealing um if
3160s	you're doing
3162s	physical uh hit damage armor shred is
3166s	very useful um if you're doing any uh
3170s	hit damage armor is useful but not very
3173s	useful um it's most useful for phys
3176s	physical uh cuz armor is protecting more
3178s	physical
3181s	damage so let's say I deal five stacks
3183s	of armor shred to an enemy how much more
3184s	physical damage is going to receive for
3186s	example it'll depend on how much armor
3188s	he has to begin with um because it's
3192s	going to shred their armor by a
3193s	percentage of or by a fixed
3198s	value let's nope uh this key I know
3201s	what's
3203s	shred armor Shred
3208s	UHS 100 armor for the last last four
3210s	seconds okay so it's a flat amount of
3211s	armor that that it drops it by um and so
3216s	you can you can
3219s	um uh is this formula
3226s	here armor there's the formula for armor
3230s	so you can you can you can work it out
3232s	based on based on this info uh how much
3234s	it's actually going to deal
3238s	or
3245s	help okay I'm going to actually make it
3247s	through this
3249s	time cuz we're awesome and we've got a
3252s	little pet a little Rune YY
3255s	pet with the extra time you are taking
3257s	to 1.0 will a pinnacle boss be available
3259s	on 1.0 um we really want to have the I I
3263s	don't think so is the short answer to
3264s	that question um it's unlikely but
3268s	possible is what I'll say um we we
3271s	really want
3273s	to um when when we do put a pinnacle
3277s	boss into the game we really want it to
3279s	feel like it's part of the entire game
3281s	and not just like um like okay there's a
3284s	boss
3285s	now we want there to be a like some some
3288s	story implications we want there to be
3291s	um some action leadup like um so I'll
3294s	just CU I always use the elble to as an
3295s	example the example they actually lead
3297s	up to um The Uber boss fight in Diablo I
3300s	there's two of them one of them is sell
3302s	a bunch of stone and Jordans which is a
3304s	ultra rare and extremely useful ring um
3308s	to the to the vendor and Uber boss will
3310s	spawn alternatively there is the
3314s	um uh dealing with the three lesser
3316s	evils uh to to find the prime eval
3318s	organs and combining them together you
3321s	know you get the keys from the from the
3322s	from the key bosses whatever they're
3324s	called the mini bosses and you know like
3327s	so there's there's there's like a
3329s	buildup of actions you have to take in
3331s	order to like unlock the Uber boss fight
3334s	and we really want the like the whole
3335s	Uber boss or Pinnacle boss experience to
3337s	be a complete experience and not just um
3341s	that was really
3343s	close uh and not just like hey
3347s	boss um we also want that boss fight to
3349s	be you know like a little bit involved
3351s	and and have uh you know cool mechanics
3354s	and um
3357s	really really like be a ton of fun to to
3360s	play um so we're really going to take
3362s	our time with it and make sure that that
3364s	comes out super awesome um and it's not
3366s	something we had planned for 1.0 before
3368s	um we're not changing a ton of the scope
3371s	for 1.0 um there are a few things that
3374s	we're
3376s	changing few things we're going to add
3378s	on but you know for the most part it's
3380s	it's staying relatively
3383s	similar and every like the date the day
3385s	with the like it hasn't been long since
3387s	this happened internally but like the
3388s	day it happened internally I was right
3390s	there front of the line with a bunch of
3391s	other people being like let's add this
3393s	and and they're like calm down Mike like
3395s	yeah okay fine I'll calm
3398s	down cuz yes I pitched a pinnacle boss
3401s	the like an hour after the internal
3404s	announcement went live for uh for the
3407s	delay I immediately pitched a pinnacle
3410s	boss uh to be
3414s	included
3416s	but I
3417s	was I quickly realized it was not the
3420s	best
3428s	idea okay it took a little convincing
3430s	but I got
3435s	there no jokes aside I I do think that
3437s	it's the right
3444s	idea
3448s	uh
3451s	right uh what recent announcement um I
3455s	will post it in chat
3464s	again um we are we are the recent
3467s	announcement is that we are delaying
3469s	1.0 uh from this year till February 21st
3473s	2024 um we was the this is like a fixed
3476s	hard date um we've got specific
3479s	timelines for leadup Content now
3483s	um the there there's a whole bunch of
3486s	things to this the the article touches
3487s	on a few reasons why we're doing this um
3490s	it's going to be a lot better
3492s	overall
3495s	um I know it's I know it's frustrating
3498s	for for people who who are hoping to to
3501s	get it this year what is going
3504s	on
3507s	that was really
3511s	weird it's my new song what is going on
3515s	that was really
3517s	weird uh with the amount of Unfinished
3519s	games released in recent times I don't
3521s	think many people have a problem with
3522s	waiting a bit longer iPhone was also
3524s	2023 release from the beginning anyways
3526s	I was I was actually pretty happy with
3528s	what we were going to have for 2023
3529s	release um I am more happy with the
3532s	extra time the extra two months is
3533s	really nice it was it was feel feeling
3536s	tight um and now it's going to
3538s	feel it'll still feel tight but it'll
3541s	feel
3542s	um it'll be better it'll be a better
3546s	game which is the most important
3551s	part well falcon or Falcon looks amazing
3553s	it looks so good it's a ton of fun to
3556s	play too I got to say I am uh I'm I'm
3559s	really really enjoying the Falcon I just
3562s	got the part in chat where everyone's
3563s	screaming at me from my screen
3568s	plann patches updates before February
3569s	yeah we'll have some some uh some bug
3572s	fixes I forget the song yeah I need like
3575s	a I need I need something on my actual
3577s	screen that's like a big red outline or
3579s	something like you can't no one can
3581s	[Music]
3582s	see such
3585s	power no I just need someone who like
3587s	actually has their streamlabs set up
3589s	properly to like just screen share with
3591s	me for an afternoon and just be like
3592s	this is how you use this software Mike
3597s	the only like prep or research or
3599s	anything I've done for this is just like
3600s	the 10 minutes before stream every
3602s	time in like an hour the first time I
3604s	set it up that was
3606s	it wait you can see the players in town
3608s	now yeah you
3617s	can oh no it's a cliff oh
3624s	no
3626s	you can actually something I don't think
3627s	a lot of people know is that when you uh
3628s	when you are like um in in twitch you
3632s	can actually see the clips people make
3634s	of your
3636s	stream um and like every couple months I
3639s	go in and just I'm like all right did I
3642s	make a big fool of myself at some point
3644s	during the stream or
3654s	not
3664s	oh what's that oh what's that I get this
3669s	so much on stream it's crazy it's always
3671s	on stream I never get it off
3675s	stream it's a cool story I like it a
3679s	lot not sure if you answer my question
3682s	hadu AFK how progress is multiplayer uh
3684s	how is progress going in multiplayer
3686s	optimization I didn't see this question
3689s	I'm sorry I skipped it it's a good thing
3690s	I skipped it I I knew you're AFK and I
3692s	just like I held off for when you got
3693s	back don't worry I got your back
3698s	um uh multi bation is it's it's go it's
3701s	coming along every single day there's
3703s	always people working on it um I don't
3706s	have any specific details I can share
3707s	about the progress that is being made um
3709s	but yeah there's there's always little
3710s	updates I'm seeing pop up about it and
3712s	it's a very high priority task for us
3717s	it's it's basically like the main thing
3719s	we talk about and try and deal with is
3722s	server optimization and multip
3724s	performance and just game performance in
3725s	general like it's it's the biggest it's
3728s	the big topic every single day it's the
3730s	hot button
3738s	issue yes the last
3743s	laugh the last one it's the last one
3745s	that'll ever be no one's allowed to
3746s	laugh again Josh I saw
3751s	that um all right next question do
3755s	things get pushed do things get pushed
3758s	to negative like armor resistance yes
3760s	they do finally I will have it
3769s	Power by this story is awesome
3773s	awesome uh pretty soon
3777s	Triad I assume trade will be a big
3779s	portion of the game yes it will any
3780s	plans to make gold more valuable if I
3782s	sell items for gold would be good to
3784s	have something valuable spend on um yeah
3786s	I mean so there's inherently because you
3788s	can you you sell things for gold you
3789s	also buy them for gold so like one of
3792s	the most valuable things in the game is
3793s	items and just in general and you can
3796s	sell or you can buy items with gold so
3799s	like there's that which is a pretty huge
3800s	one um but then the thing that will
3802s	anchor the price of gold partially is
3807s	um is the
3811s	uh uh vaults of Uncertain fate that's
3815s	what it is I know I know the names of
3816s	things in our game don't worry Vault of
3818s	Uncertain fate will like you can dump
3820s	tons of gold into there and they just
3822s	make more and more and more items So
3825s	like um you're you're you're able to
3828s	you're able to get quite a lot out of
3829s	that with a lot of money so that's you
3832s	know that's a big one um um plans to add
3836s	more things yes plans to add more things
3838s	for 1.0 no nothing major
3842s	anyways how good is melee this game I
3844s	mean there are some very successful
3846s	melee builds War path's always a fan
3848s	favorite um there's there's there's
3851s	there's melee builds for every class
3853s	that are very good um I'm sure if you
3857s	look at the uh like top 1% there will be
3862s	uh I I might be proven very wrong by the
3864s	by that standard um but melee builds
3867s	that can get into the Super endgame
3869s	content
3871s	yeah all right any Buffs for Aura of
3874s	Decay since the poison Nerf is a dead
3876s	skill oh no it's a dead skill um I I
3880s	don't have any specific details on
3882s	upcoming patches or Buffs or Nerfs or
3885s	bug fixes um some stuff will happen I
3888s	don't know what it
3890s	is sorry Escape is impossible
3901s	Sapp on let me stand inside
3914s	this I was trying to
3918s	move trying to move did not work oh
3923s	that's too bad
3928s	all right you know what um we're going
3932s	to see if we have another key and if we
3935s	don't we're going to go do something
3940s	else I'm pretty sure this is where we
3942s	got to in searching I don't think we
3943s	have another
3947s	key we have no choice we got to go find
3949s	another
3953s	key
3956s	just see if the person who made this
3957s	build's online and wants to like come
3960s	come come come help me because I'm bad
3963s	this is like this build's so much fun to
3965s	play it is strictly me just being
3971s	bad this is why I shouldn't do these
3973s	things because I'm just like who
3975s	whoever's whoever's build this is
3976s	they're just like no Mike what are you
3978s	doing
3982s	why was just a boy
3987s	um if I remember right you guys were
3989s	overhauling the backend net code or
3992s	something similar how is that coming
3993s	along I mean yeah we've we've um we
3996s	rolled that
3998s	out uh few weeks
4003s	ago the the big the big rewrite of most
4006s	of that pretty sure that's live now it
4009s	or it's or it's on our internal builds I
4012s	don't know if that's in the live ones
4013s	yet
4018s	um I hope it's been rolled out like I
4020s	said when we were talking about like no
4021s	one should notice that it gets rolled
4027s	out uh could you guys share some info
4029s	about the changes you guys have made to
4031s	factions since the initial reveal we
4032s	have to wait until January um the the
4035s	details of of how factions are going to
4037s	look at launch um you'll have to wait
4038s	until uh January for the for the full
4040s	document there
4043s	um
4045s	there's of the information that's
4048s	available in the um the factions preview
4052s	post um compared to what you're going to
4055s	see in January I don't feel the need to
4058s	go edit that
4059s	post at all um you know it won't be
4064s	exactly the same but it will be
4065s	extremely extremely similar um the big
4068s	the big thing is is that the so we we
4072s	said like here are some examples of some
4075s	of the bonuses you could get from
4076s	ranking up think we gave like a a level
4079s	like 2 46 example for each of the
4082s	factions um and there's
4087s	a uh the the things that you get that's
4091s	funny back to back sets uh the things
4094s	you get from that are
4097s	um like weren't fixed to the begin with
4100s	they were just examples so like those
4102s	are picked as to what they're actually
4105s	going to
4106s	be um so those are
4109s	different but I can't share with those
4111s	with you just yet cuz they're not
4112s	actually
4114s	finalized we're still working on
4130s	them run
4133s	away
4138s	okay next
4139s	question robots in
4149s	Disguise uh I noticed the announcement
4151s	didn't give a date for some more General
4153s	changes that you've mentioned uh before
4156s	like corruption is the date where it
4158s	will be discussed
4160s	previewed or will it be a general patch
4162s	notes postr for 1.0 oh oh like like the
4168s	um there there will
4170s	be uh there will be the
4173s	usual um patch notes or like uh Dev blog
4179s	barrage uh just leading up to the the
4182s	patch the hype week will happen still so
4183s	there'll be like a a series of Dev vogs
4186s	and and informational posts leading up
4188s	to 1.0 um and in there we'll get some
4191s	details about specifics for things that
4192s	are not the three main topics we've
4194s	already already announced uh uh Dev blog
4196s	dates for um so so those details will be
4201s	unveiled in the week or two leading up
4204s	to 1.0 and
4207s	[Music]
4209s	um
4213s	yeah but they'll be included in the 1.0
4215s	patch not
4218s	before I think I probably speak for most
4220s	if not all players ooh dangerous
4223s	dangerous red flag red
4225s	flag I'd be shocked we'll see we'll see
4228s	let's see let's let's see the rest of
4229s	this question let's it's like let's see
4231s	like everything is awesome I sure hope
4233s	so but I know that's not
4236s	everyone
4238s	um I'm trying not to die here I promise
4240s	I'll promise I'll get to
4249s	it here we
4252s	go that sound
4254s	oh that sound was great I ever actually
4257s	used this for in game
4259s	before Oh that sound got me all right
4263s	let's read the rest of this
4266s	question think you probably speak for
4268s	most if not all ell players in saying we
4270s	are happy to wait a little bit longer oh
4271s	thank you that's awesome uh for a
4273s	long-term good game for the long-term
4276s	good of the game yeah I appreciate that
4278s	I I think I think most people agree with
4279s	you um especially from the sentiment
4281s	that I've been seeing from like the
4282s	Forum post and and uh and like the rdst
4286s	and just like leading up to this like
4288s	like just talking to people in the
4289s	community here and there um I I I didn't
4293s	I wasn't too worried about this sort of
4294s	thing it's always it's always
4295s	nerve-wracking um whenever something
4297s	like this comes out because like I know
4299s	that like I know people are disappointed
4301s	that like in a perfect world it just
4302s	Launches on when we said it would and um
4306s	it has all of the awesome stuff that you
4308s	know you know like everything's sunshine
4309s	and roses and everything's fantastic
4311s	that's the ideal situation I know people
4312s	will be disappointed um by by having a
4314s	notch up right away um and I do really
4318s	appreciate that that for the vast
4320s	majority of every response I've seen so
4322s	far um has been very understanding and
4326s	uh positive about the about the delay
4327s	which is fantastic I I know and I know
4330s	people are disappointed about it and I
4332s	um I am too what can I say but uh also
4337s	happy at the same time you can be two
4339s	things right I think
4342s	so
4345s	all
4349s	right do the new axe have new bosses and
4352s	the new exclusive gear uh they will but
4355s	we don't have new axe coming 1.0
4361s	um
4364s	yeah uh as the game's design has evolved
4368s	yes have there been any uniques that
4370s	have wound up using More Design space
4372s	than they were at uh than if they were
4375s	designed today uh oh yes definitely do I
4378s	know what any of those are off the top
4379s	of my head
4381s	no
4385s	um
4395s	o I don't have a good example to top my
4397s	head I'm
4399s	sorry the
4402s	transforms
4405s	oh uniques we need
4407s	uniques think skills um still
4413s	Yes
4415s	um I don't
4423s	know yes ex
4426s	sanguinous actually yeah these boots
4428s	right here this right right here uh I
4431s	think is a great example because these
4432s	andang um that that that whole style of
4435s	item was originally created very
4437s	specifically with with Necromancer in
4439s	mind
4441s	um and uh it is far from uh Necromancer
4445s	only style of item and gameplay pattern
4450s	now um very much enabled by those
4454s	uniques we got there I found
4457s	one
4459s	um are you playing this build with items
4462s	you found or any of these uniques
4463s	generator for you this entire build
4466s	absolutely every single thing that I'm
4468s	using right now was here when I found it
4471s	um I have completely absconded with
4473s	someone else's build in every
4479s	way I didn't find any of it
4483s	myself no I'm just I'm I'm playing the
4485s	the contest winners build exactly as it
4487s	was um see all of it all it was even
4490s	this even this the item that we made
4492s	this was and the exal that we put into
4494s	it we already in the inventory um my
4497s	stash was my stash but the the the
4499s	character was and the blessings that

4573s	you'll that's how I found it I'm I'm on
4575s	the page right now and there's like a
4576s	little apply here
4578s	button um and you can just send us send

4615s	no and it it's not like it would ever
4618s	like um hurt hurt chances of of uh
4622s	anything later happening you know like
4624s	give it a shot shoot your
4642s	shot
4645s	all
4647s	right uh will there be a 0.9.3
4652s	no uh hello Mike happy Friday thank you
4655s	happy Friday to you
4658s	too we're just going
4661s	to just clear this
4672s	out
4684s	fools that cast Beed is just
4691s	nutty I love
4696s	it the AutoCast on the on the invocation
4698s	feels so
4700s	good I was trying uh
4704s	go to the old slash spawn key I like I
4707s	don't have these commands I had to get
4710s	someone else to help me get this
4711s	character transferred over um it's the
4714s	only time we've ever done
4717s	it oh
4720s	yeah P tab by tab yes sorry I know I
4723s	should do
4726s	it
4727s	uh hello Mike happy Friday can you say
4730s	can you already say if we will get more
4732s	character slots at 1.0 and if the
4734s	characters if the current character will
4736s	take the same slots as the ones we
4737s	create in the new cycle yes and
4741s	yes I I created the stash running search
4743s	so I'm not that aware of it it's so
4762s	true get it oh
4767s	yeah that's what I'm talking about thing
4769s	it's
4771s	fine not for us that's
4777s	okay I I want to do a shade fight that's
4779s	one thing I really want to do I'm trying
4780s	to push in one direction to get a shade
4789s	fight oh righty
4792s	then
4796s	you see M stashing offline gives me
4798s	nightmares as someone who strictly
4799s	organizes and color codes their stash
4801s	yeah game yeah it does um my my offline
4804s	stash is such a mess because um it's
4807s	what I used for the like so much of the
4810s	stash testing stuff um so there's like a
4813s	whole bunch of messed up stuff in there
4814s	that's just like not how it's supposed
4816s	to
4819s	be uh have you noticed that you're
4821s	giving less unintentional spoilers as
4823s	you've got more experience doing these
4824s	streams
4827s	um I don't I don't maybe have you
4830s	noticed
4832s	that I Pro probably I haven't noticed it
4834s	but I think you're probably
4843s	right it's happening guys we have a
4846s	serious problem on your
4848s	hands I'm
4850s	becoming professional
4854s	it's okay oh I thought I had it right
4857s	here oh that's frustrating where is
4863s	it well I just undercut my whole
4868s	point oh here this right right in front
4871s	of
4872s	me it's okay you can trust me I'm a
4881s	professional my wife got that for me
4883s	ironically I
4889s	think uh right uh do do you expect Bots
4893s	to take over the economy when you add uh
4896s	the trading faction or is it base game
4897s	cost enough to deter SL make it easy to
4899s	ban them um we we have we have a lot of
4903s	systems in place um and and knobs we can
4906s	turn and ways we can look at stuff to to
4909s	try and um squash Bots we can
4913s	I think it's really important to have
4918s	um some level of expectation of bots and
4921s	be able to accept
4923s	that um while not accepting an uh an
4928s	unreasonable amount of them so I think
4930s	that there's there's a line there
4931s	because we're there's going to be some
4932s	amount of bots no matter what that's
4934s	going to happen um and that's okay for
4936s	for for some amount but um that it's
4940s	really low in my world like really low
4942s	in my world
4943s	um the the the most important thing for
4946s	us with the whole like the the bot fight
4948s	or whatever you want to call it but like
4950s	is is making the experience for the
4952s	people who are playing the game the
4953s	intended way the best experience
4955s	possible
4957s	and how we deal with Bots to achieve
4961s	that
4962s	goal it doesn't really matter what
4964s	happens with the Bots if we if we find
4966s	every single last one of them if we let
4967s	some of them hang out you know how how
4969s	zealous we are there that doesn't really
4971s	matter it's just all the really matters
4973s	is how good the experience is for
4974s	everyone who's not botting um and so
4978s	like that's I think the really important
4980s	thing is that we don't like like if
4982s	we're in a situation where we have the
4984s	we're looking at the situation we're
4985s	like okay so there's like there's 10
4987s	Bots left on the server this is a really
4989s	really contrived and extreme example
4991s	there's 10 Bots left we we found we know
4993s	there's exactly 10 Bots left but the
4995s	only way we can get rid of them is by
4998s	making it suck for everyone
5000s	else by having to like click an extra
5004s	dozen things and install this software
5005s	on their computer or something like that
5007s	extreme contrived example but like
5009s	there's there's this like how how much
5011s	does it suck for everyone else oh is it
5013s	too much well don't do it um you know
5017s	like as soon as it starts to put
5018s	pressure on people who are playing
5020s	properly it's it's not a good solution
5022s	we the people who aren't doing the
5024s	things that we're trying to catch
5025s	shouldn't know we're trying to catch
5027s	them those things like they shouldn't
5029s	they shouldn't see any of those any of
5031s	those methods it should be completely
5032s	invisible to them
5033s	um and the only people that should be
5034s	like even even see the effects are the
5038s	people who are um breaking the
5047s	rules um and so yeah we've we've put a
5049s	we put a few different ways in there
5050s	that we can we can detect suspicious
5053s	behavior um automatically and uh and and
5058s	also ways to
5061s	um you know just there's there's things
5064s	in the system to be
5066s	self-correcting so that uh even if there
5069s	are uh Bots working in the system it it
5072s	won't cause too there won't be an
5074s	opportunity for those Bots to cause too
5076s	much of uh pressure on the market to to
5078s	make it so that it's obvious by someone
5080s	looking at the market that it's overrun
5081s	by Bots um so what do I mean by that is
5083s	that there's not a situation where
5086s	you're like there's items that are
5087s	selling for uh Pennies on the dollar
5091s	because those items are so so abundant
5094s	because Bots are farming them so
5096s	quickly and so you're not left thinking
5098s	hey what's the point of trying to farm
5100s	items to sell because Bots are able to
5102s	farm them faster more efficiently and to
5104s	the point where it's it's not worthwhile
5106s	for me to uh to do them ourselves and
5109s	like we I think that there's enough
5111s	self-correcting things in the system
5114s	that that that won't that just naturally
5116s	won't happen um we do also have ways to
5119s	detect that it's happening and fix if it
5120s	does um
5130s	so we're trying we're trying to like
5132s	hoping for the hoping for the best and
5134s	planning for the worst on on on on the
5136s	bot front um I think we're going to be
5139s	really successful with with with the
5140s	trading system um and I think that the
5143s	key the key piece that I think a lot of
5146s	people are possibly not noticing um is
5150s	is the favor cost associated with
5151s	interacting with the system in any way
5152s	way um so so um buying new
5158s	um buying items or selling items has a
5161s	favor cost that goes with it and that
5162s	favor cost uh just vanishes into the
5164s	system that's the that's the tax the
5165s	system takes is the favor cost um and
5168s	and that alone is going to
5171s	really
5173s	um uh I think it's going to make people
5175s	be mindful of the things that they're
5177s	selling and buying I mean more more
5178s	intentionality there with the things
5179s	they're selling and buying and less just
5181s	like like oh that's a good deal buy it
5183s	oh yeah I can slap these things up no
5184s	problem just sell all these these 50
5186s	things U maybe one of them will sell
5187s	let's just slap these all up that sort
5188s	of thing and and um like CU that's the
5191s	type of behavior that Bots really Thrive
5200s	with so there will there will be and
5202s	this I guess this is an example there
5203s	will be less opportunity to play the
5204s	market so to speak
5207s	um and that's not that so I also don't
5210s	want to cross uh cross the streams here
5212s	that's not specifically something that
5214s	we've done to prevent Bots that's uh
5216s	preventing uh helping dissuade Bots as a
5218s	byproduct of that system not the the
5220s	primary
5225s	product okay I just rambled Forever on
5227s	that I'm probably super far behind I'm
5230s	sorry
5232s	um ever consider a mechanic similar to
5235s	corruption or double corruption like in
5237s	Poe Yeah final risk of crafting
5239s	absolutely we we've definitely talked
5241s	about that um
5244s	fools uh
5250s	yes there there are
5253s	um I would say reminiscent elements of
5257s	that built into legendary crafting so
5260s	you're usually in
5263s	um with with corruption you're taking
5265s	item uh and then you're saying okay well
5267s	there's here's a set of optional things
5270s	that I could get um it's going to pick
5273s	one of those at
5274s	random um and then it's going to it's
5276s	going to finish the item off and we're
5278s	we're going to be done with it after
5279s	that I mean I could have just been
5281s	describing crafting items in Poe or
5283s	legendary crafting in last
5301s	dep
5303s	couple couple res
5304s	shards all right do you guys ever
5306s	thought about how to utilize the same
5308s	legendary items I have five of the same
5310s	legendaries with zero LP can we combine
5312s	them yes to get one LP or something like
5315s	that uh something like
5317s	this so um I think that there is
5320s	definitely room for uh a use for uh
5324s	unique items with zero LP
5328s	um there sorry there's there's a gap
5331s	where there needs to be a use for uh
5333s	unique items with zerp or or maybe like
5336s	a sometimes use um where it's not like
5339s	you're just picking all of them up in
5340s	order to throw into the like the meat
5341s	grinder and out out pump some some
5345s	craftable item some crafting item that
5346s	just get used or something like that and
5348s	we we probably don't want to do that
5351s	um but having select situations where
5354s	you're like oh I really want to build
5355s	towards this specific thing and if I
5358s	pick up these three unique items it'll
5360s	help me build towards that specific
5361s	thing or something like that I think is
5362s	really uh really healthy thing for the
5364s	game that we are missing right now um
5366s	it's not something that'll be included
5367s	at 1.0 um I don't know exactly what that
5371s	system is going to look like I I would
5373s	be shocked really shocked if that system
5376s	was what you've pitched here because
5378s	that system's been pitched a lot of
5379s	times by community members um and the
5381s	the big problem with it is is that the
5383s	relative Rarity of legendary potential
5386s	on an item um between zero and four
5390s	legendary potential on any item is a
5393s	different relative Rarity uh based on
5396s	the legendary potential level of that
5400s	item um what does that mean Mike yeah
5403s	sorry there's a bunch of jumble up
5405s	nonsense uh if you were going to
5409s	strictly in an additive sense combine
5410s	them together to work towards it let's
5412s	let's say for every um for every one
5416s	four LP item you found out a zero LPL
5418s	item farming at level 100 um you got
5423s	10 zero LP items so you got like say 10
5426s	zero LP items and one four LP items and
5431s	um you can combine those 10 zero LPS
5432s	together to get a four LP item great
5434s	you've got you've got like a base ratio
5436s	for
5437s	that um that ratio is not 1 to 10 for
5442s	wings AR gentes okay it's like one to a
5445s	billion it's probably more like one to a
5447s	few billion billion billions type thing
5450s	so it's um we we don't you we we can't
5453s	have 10 Zer LP Wings equal a four LP
5456s	wings um but maybe maybe we could have
5460s	um 10 Zer
5462s	LP um I don't know a peak the mountain
5465s	I'm just I'm using the the infographic
5467s	that came out recently um you you know
5470s	there there's
5473s	uh yeah like so we we because that ratio
5477s	is different from item to item it can't
5479s	be a fixed thing um
5484s	like that like that so it would probably
5486s	if if we were going to consider doing
5487s	something like that there'd have to be a
5489s	different way that we did that than just
5490s	a straight combine X number of them into
5493s	uh one like possibly something along the
5495s	lines of and I I this has also been
5498s	suggested it's basically the same thing
5499s	just with different steps and we're also
5501s	not going to do this but the this is
5503s	what I mean as a solution to that type
5504s	of problem is you you put an
5506s	intermediary crafting material down
5508s	where you say like okay oh my God I just
5511s	found something I was looking for that
5512s	was just sitting on my desk but it was
5514s	the same color as the spot and it
5515s	Blended in
5516s	perfectly oh it's a little micro SD card
5519s	reader oh my goodness sorry um you have
5524s	a little intermediary crafting material
5526s	where it's like you can break down
5527s	uniques into essence of uniques and um
5532s	the orelis takes 100 Essences in order
5534s	to upgrade to one LP um and takes 500
5537s	Essences to upgrade to 2 LP um but wings
5540s	of argentus takes a thousand
5542s	um essence of LP to upgrade to one LP or
5545s	whatever you know like so you you you
5547s	you can do something like that to to
5549s	have a different ratio
5551s	there
5554s	um we're not planning on directly doing
5556s	that
5559s	um just wanted to talk about it for a
5562s	while I should probably answer more
5565s	questions uh is true offline mode
5567s	without login coming on 1.0 I believe so
5569s	yes I think so it it should be I think
5571s	it's done already just is um not fully
5574s	set up this not like sorry the hard
5576s	part's done the um the the the flow the
5579s	login flow isn't um like the UI flow in
5582s	game engine is not set up but the actual
5584s	like um backend stuff that needed to
5587s	happen to make it work
5590s	is oh it's the wrong term for
5593s	it
5601s	sorry
5612s	all right is there even going to be a
5614s	mechanic like dismemberment with melee
5616s	weapons or that Frozen enemies will
5618s	shatter on death um we've I feel like
5621s	there's some situations where Frozen
5622s	enemies can shatter on death maybe maybe
5623s	it's just Frozen enemies that are cold
5625s	already or something like
5628s	that
5629s	um I I would at least 1.0 no there will
5632s	not be something like that
5637s	sorry uh how do you decide on what
5639s	features to have in 1.0 it might be a
5642s	complete campaign and a full set of
5646s	skills uh should be pretty high on such
5648s	a list so I would like to know what your
5650s	thinking was there I mean there will be
5651s	a full set of skills um there will
5654s	be like there'll be tons of skills to
5657s	play with and every class will have um
5661s	like plenty of tools and lots of awesome
5664s	stuff like you know don't don't mistake
5666s	that at all um they'll just be like Mage
5668s	will have one more
5670s	than
5672s	um Mage will have one more I made have
5676s	two more than
5678s	primalist and M will have one more than
5682s	Sentinel maybe two more than Sentinel as
5684s	well like we're not talking about big
5685s	differences here we're we we're talking
5687s	like there's going to be one in Paladin
5689s	missing and Mage has an extra one in
5692s	this row so M gets like one more than
5693s	everyone just from this row right here
5695s	and one of the paladins are missing one
5697s	of the shamans are missing
5700s	um uh Rogues missing one from this Row
5703s	one from this row and one from this row
5705s	oh no no not this row uh one from each
5708s	of these rows sorry so like rogue's
5710s	missing a few
5712s	um but rogue's really versatile because
5715s	there's so many skills in Rogue that
5717s	that play double duty so there's um
5720s	there's skills that are in like
5722s	um like summon uh summon Skeleton on
5725s	Necromancer not is is really focused
5728s	towards Necromancer and like there are
5730s	builds in Lich and there are builds in
5731s	warlock that'll be able to use it but
5733s	nowhere near the same extent so it kind
5735s	of doesn't really play well with those
5737s	um but there's things like in for
5738s	example Rogues Bas tree like puncture um
5742s	and flurry and Cinder strike that work
5746s	perfectly well for both Rune master or
5748s	run Master for for both uh melee and B
5751s	characters in in Rogue so like it'll be
5754s	good for all three masteries
5757s	um and so there's there's a lot more
5760s	overlap on on those base skills for sub
5763s	Masters so we need less skills to to hit
5766s	the same number of different builds or
5767s	archetypes that are possible um that
5770s	doesn't mean that we're not going to
5770s	keep making skills for those for those
5772s	classes we absolutely are going to keep
5773s	making skills for those classes and and
5775s	a new rogue skill will come before a new
5776s	Mage skill um so yeah there's I I'd say
5781s	the a full compliment of skills will be
5782s	there it just won't be the equivalent
5784s	number of skills for each
5787s	class um as for the complete campaign we
5790s	got to the point where we realized we've
5792s	got a specific campaign that we want to
5794s	like a story we want to tell and a
5795s	campaign we want to finish and in order
5797s	to complete that campaign to that level
5799s	the Polish that we want and with all the
5800s	things we want to do with it like it's
5803s	it's just not going to happen um fast
5806s	enough to do like we just we we can't we
5808s	can't get that built fast enough um and
5810s	it's just better for the game game to uh
5813s	to to to launch with an awesome game
5816s	that we think we have instead of like
5817s	delaying it an extra year for the
5818s	campaign oh oh tell tell tell me that
5823s	would go well in social
5824s	media oh my God we get we'd get thrown
5828s	under the bus so fast if we said we're
5831s	delaying 1.0 a
5832s	year uh because we because we want the
5835s	story we want to finish the
5839s	story you know
5851s	love that super fast cast feels so
5855s	good so
5858s	good oh the single the single
5861s	AIC
5863s	um s that's only6 though that's still
5866s	fun the single aex exalted I love
5868s	because it comes with a ton of forun
5869s	potential um and just like so so many
5871s	possibilities of whatever you want to do
5874s	even it's even relevant too minion spell
5876s	damage and Minion damage or minion
5878s	skills it's even
5882s	relevant
5884s	cool very
5887s	cool some cool steps I'm just picking
5889s	them all up cuz I like them they're
5896s	pretty all right but how how did you
5899s	decide the features that we want to have
5900s	1.0 um
5903s	a lot of it came down to just um how how
5906s	much time is this going to take and how
5908s	big of an impact is going to have on the
5910s	game for 1.0 like how what what it's
5913s	it's pretty simple math really like um
5916s	how how much do we want this how hard is
5918s	it going to be and how risky is it to
5921s	try and
5922s	do and you know like wait each one of
5925s	those categories rate each one of those
5928s	categories evaluate the the function and
5931s	pick a pick a line of how far along that
5934s	curve you want to you want to take
5935s	things and just take everything on one
5937s	side of the line and drop everything on
5938s	the other side of the line and evaluate
5940s	what you've done and make sure it's um
5943s	makes sense and you didn't drop anything
5945s	super important call it a day it's I'm
5949s	I'm oversimplifying things quite a lot
5951s	um because there's people that like on
5953s	our team that all day what they're doing
5954s	is is exactly that but with much more
5957s	detail depth and information and
5960s	experience all right will the delay in
5962s	the release date with the delay in the
5964s	release date can we expect a longer
5966s	period of testing for new things like
5968s	the new masteries and factions yes and
5970s	will those things be released to CT
5971s	members for testing
5975s	yes uh can there be multiple exiled
5977s	Mages or lost cashes within one Echo I
5980s	don't believe so I'm pretty sure that's
5982s	a a one
5983s	per
5986s	um but please if someone says that they
5990s	found more
5992s	they probably did cuz I'm not super
5993s	confident on that it's just sort of like
5995s	uh I'd be really surprised if we did
5997s	more than one
6009s	time let's get this oh give me that ice
6019s	Beetle okay more questions can you give
6022s	us an estimation of the level we should
6024s	reach after we finish the campaign
6026s	including the three new acts to be clear
6028s	the three new acts that are coming post
6030s	1.0 not at
6031s	1.0 um and I don't know I I would assume
6036s	that there will be some um uh level
6040s	scale massaging and experience gain
6044s	massaging that happens um when when
6048s	those extra campaign levels arrive uh so
6050s	I wouldn't expected to just be tacked on
6053s	to the existing
6063s	ones there's a dangerous zone for
6066s	everyone blizzard and Avalanche
6068s	happening in
6080s	it
6082s	I love the just like the the the tap
6084s	flame
6106s	rush we did
6110s	it oh a man of many pockets a clever
6118s	solution CLE girl did I forget one my
6122s	goodness I did oh I'm the worst I heard
6125s	it earlier and I forgot it this one
6126s	reminded me Spike thank you very much
6128s	for the three sub 10 months in a row
6129s	that is fantastic to see keep it up good
6132s	work can't wait for fa me too thanks for
6133s	being around and being awesome also
6136s	let's go back in
6139s	time okay poke 24 thanks th raid welcome
6143s	hang out and a little
6147s	more kimoto 11 shoes welcome back for
6153s	your seventh month in a row broke that
6155s	half year barrier thank you very much
6157s	for being here glad to have you with us
6158s	and in
6159s	honor of these wonderful
6162s	people let's show some cool stuff so
6165s	we've been testing out some new uh
6167s	Lighting systems and Shadow systems uh
6170s	this is not a finished version of this
6171s	but um it's a familiar zone for a lot of
6173s	people and uh just showing some of the
6175s	new tools we have to work with uh in in
6177s	these systems um so still still tweaks
6179s	need to be done around specific uh
6181s	specific areas to make sure that they
6182s	they look nice and and and pop and all
6184s	that sort of stuff but here's here's a
6186s	little preview of oh my goodness it's
6190s	not oh my God it I swear that window was
6195s	the right size a second
6200s	ago
6203s	oh my
6207s	goodness there we
6211s	go hi I'm here too let's going there we
6216s	are
6219s	um all right uh will there be more
6222s	random monolith events like Exile mes
6224s	1.0 um I don't know if there's any
6226s	specific ones coming for 1.0 uh there's
6229s	there's another event style system that
6231s	we are um working on I don't know if
6233s	it's later for 1.0 or the next patch I'm
6235s	sorry I think it's the next patch I
6237s	think it's
6240s	1.1 uh hi any plans for an lfg tool in
6243s	the future
6246s	yes uh it and why did chest drop so many
6250s	Quivers um confirmation
6253s	bias which message is last de tools are
6256s	flying to I'm going through chat and
6258s	can't find I'm probably just so far
6262s	behind we're we're just going to oh this
6264s	isn't on repeat is it
6267s	Mike oh it is I set it to
6276s	loop loop I say
6279s	Loop um throwing mic can never be
6281s	professional to us a thanks um I'm
6285s	currently 12 minutes behind that's so
6287s	helpful thank you um I genuinely
6290s	appreciate that
6291s	uh what's your guys' stance on Data
6294s	Mining and the such you seem to have a
6296s	pretty good relationship with damit for
6297s	example yeah I like the um there are C
6301s	so okay it's it's a my my gut feeling on
6304s	data mining is very mixed there are some
6307s	things that it's so awesome for and I
6309s	love having it I love people that are
6311s	excited enough about our game to be able
6312s	to do it that they're that they're
6314s	taking their own time and doing it and
6316s	like doing cool stuff with that
6318s	information that's awesome I love it um
6320s	the the sites that they've made lyac
6322s	tools Max roll Icy Veins tunk lab I'm
6326s	sure those others and I'm sorry when I'm
6327s	forgetting them but like those are the
6328s	four that I use the most and like um
6331s	like I I use these tools myself when
6333s	we're in development like I'll be like a
6334s	what what skill was that that had this
6336s	thing um and I'm just like the search is
6339s	better there I'm going to use that
6340s	instead and find it uh I was looking for
6343s	something yesterday actually for Falcon
6344s	implementation I like couldn't find it
6346s	in game and I used lasty tools to find
6349s	the the node on some other tree it was
6352s	it was I was looking the note I ended up
6353s	finding was on summon scorpion tree um
6356s	and like because I need to do a similar
6357s	design pattern I'm like I know I've done
6359s	this somewhere before I can't remember
6360s	the name of the script that does this
6362s	and the the script was just named really
6363s	weird with uh like a Boolean to like
6365s	flip what it does so it's like the
6366s	opposite of what I wanted to do anyway
6368s	doesn't matter
6370s	um so so yeah there's there's fantastic
6373s	things about data mining um the there's
6376s	the other side of and and yes we do try
6378s	to to keep in touch with with everyone
6380s	that does it as much as POS possible and
6381s	I'm sure there's people that do it that
6381s	we don't keep in touch with as well but
6383s	like um if you're making tools for and
6385s	you want to talk to us about stuff you
6387s	know we're here we'll talk to you um and
6389s	like every once in a while damn it will
6391s	like message me and be like Mike there's
6392s	a bug I found and I'm like ah great
6394s	thanks I'll fix it
6397s	um
6399s	and uh you know like it's it's and and
6402s	there was something on on on last like
6404s	tools recently that was like a mistake
6406s	or or not a mistake it was an something
6407s	we hadn't added to the game yet I
6408s	messaged him I'm like this isn't
6409s	actually in the game yet as we pull it
6411s	off the site great no problem
6414s	um and so yeah we do try our best to
6417s	help each other out as much as we can um
6421s	there are some things that I would love
6422s	to be able to do and oh my no look look
6425s	look I I didn't forget ah
6432s	gotcha um anyways there are certain
6434s	things that I would love to be able to
6435s	do in development that like I just can't
6438s	do um because because like the game data
6441s	mind so efficiently um and so like
6445s	that's a little on the like slightly
6448s	disappointing side um where like in a
6450s	perfect world that wouldn't be there you
6452s	know be able to like do these things y y
6454s	y okay great um would I
6457s	trade if if if I could flip a switch
6460s	that turned off data mining at this
6461s	point would I know I
6466s	wouldn't so hopefully that's the most
6468s	important piece of information for the
6470s	whole thing
6472s	I should have um boots give me those
6476s	boots don't even care if they're the
6478s	wrong ones giveing them to me I want
6483s	them
6485s	anyways ow I might die in here oh these
6490s	resistances are so nice look at
6494s	them I never have resistance is this
6499s	good
6501s	it's true
6506s	though um was I do another other
6510s	question feel like that was the whole
6511s	data mining question if you want to know
6514s	if you if you'd like to know
6516s	more oh I love i g to go watch that
6519s	movie
6522s	again see see if the wife's seen it if
6524s	she hasn't I know what we're doing
6525s	tonight oh I can feel it
6529s	happening
6531s	it's
6533s	okay it's
6541s	okay uh can we expect uh an incoming
6543s	class specialized in dual wielding like
6546s	having dual wielding as an entire skill
6548s	tree um I say the no I the class that is
6553s	okay I see what you're saying maybe
6556s	um I I think I think what you're asking
6559s	is like uh once we're finished with the
6561s	the core
6562s	15 and we're started adding more classes
6565s	on top of that more Masters more base
6566s	classes things like that will we will we
6568s	see one of those that's even more
6570s	heavily focused into dual wielding than
6571s	blade blade dancers um and that's
6575s	possible um there's there are some new
6578s	masteries and base classes that I've
6579s	seen Pitch that would lend themselves
6581s	very well to dual wielding um I we we I
6584s	don't the the first couple that I think
6588s	will happen won't probably be that I
6591s	don't
6592s	think but like this is speculation on
6596s	speculation so you
6598s	know dump truck assault and
6602s	all uh hey Mike I am a sment awesome and
6607s	interested to hear what was the biggest
6609s	challenge uh you all found when
6612s	implementing multiplayer from a server
6613s	in infrastructure perspective
6616s	um I didn't do a ton of that self um so
6621s	I'm not the most equate person to answer
6623s	it but um from what I heard from like
6625s	meetings and features that took a while
6628s	and um features that I uh like when I
6631s	was just talking to people on the
6632s	development of those systems about like
6634s	what's the hardest thing and where we
6636s	need to focus the most stuff on is
6638s	um
6640s	like uh having multiple
6644s	servers that can uh send long-term save
6649s	information out of order um so so like
6655s	uh a server can be
6657s	like like a server shutting down has to
6659s	be like people like this is all the
6660s	information that I collected while they
6661s	were playing on me here you go to the to
6664s	the actual like save files and be like
6666s	there you go and having that information
6669s	not conflict with another server saying
6671s	the same thing because you've like
6672s	jumped between servers or something um
6675s	is is is probably the hardest part I
6679s	think
6681s	all right have you guys considered any
6683s	zero button or low button skill systems
6685s	being implemented kind of like righteous
6687s	Fire in Poe um yes we definitely have um
6692s	there's there are some that are um
6694s	pretty low button there's some there's
6696s	some very low button builds I don't know
6698s	if there's any zero button builds out
6699s	there right now but there's definitely
6700s	some one button builds out there
6702s	definitely
6705s	um uh mostly minion builds I think at
6708s	this
6709s	point
6712s	uh I have quite limited knowledge with
6714s	build diversity of recent but I recall
6716s	that they didn't really exist the last
6717s	time I played uh at least to my
6719s	knowledge last dep was a little bit
6720s	Troublesome for me to play because I
6721s	couldn't really play much outside of
6723s	minions do to RIS issues preventing
6725s	long-term gaming sessions is the
6726s	fundamental thing or is it likely to
6727s	ever be introduced I mean like there's
6728s	always war path there's always war path
6732s	you know
6735s	um that's funny where is it there it is
6737s	okay that's
6739s	better
6745s	um but yeah so the the wrist issues
6748s	thing that is part of the reason we do
6749s	have controller support
6751s	um
6754s	and uh there definitely are
6757s	like um low button like zero to or
6761s	probably probably one to two button
6762s	builds there's probably quite a few of
6764s	them most of them are probably minion
6765s	builds um but I do know there are some
6767s	that
6769s	aren't um we do we do generally
6774s	try to keep to keep things a little bit
6778s	like we we do like people to be pressing
6781s	more than one button in most situations
6783s	for the most part so definitely not an
6785s	exclusive thing we don't sit there and
6787s	go all right there's this build that's
6788s	only pushing one button how do we force
6790s	another button into this build H like
6793s	that's never been something we we've
6794s	discussed
6796s	um yeah so it's it's I I think it's
6799s	something that if if it organically
6801s	happens we Embrace um having a more
6803s	active play style in in builds um
6808s	and yeah I but it's not something that
6810s	we like try and force
6812s	really and there like there's there are
6815s	we have put nodes to the contrary and I
6818s	and I know people see like just m loock
6820s	it's the same thing and yes it pretty
6821s	much is but here you go here is the this
6824s	this takes a button off your bar
6826s	effectively but still it's used the
6827s	ability so there are in cases some some
6829s	noes in trees that do this as
6834s	well um and like I'm using I should I
6838s	should have used the example the one I'm
6839s	using right now so when I use flame
6843s	rush and it's going to like as soon as I
6845s	let go of this it's going to use the
6846s	invocation there's blizzard that's
6848s	happening right there which is the three
6849s	ice
6851s	invocation of course I died cuz I was uh
6854s	mocking about trying to explain stuff
6856s	when I was in the danger
6859s	zone
6861s	here you
6873s	go yeah yeah hope that answers that uh
6877s	wouldn't being able to trade three of
6879s	the same unique to drop the same uh
6881s	Unique Kind of solve the LPL being
6883s	different problem Oh you mean like like
6886s	like take three of one unique and
6889s	combine them together together it just
6890s	redops it exactly the same but I I can
6893s	like it rerolls it completely so you
6895s	take three and it just does a full
6896s	reroll um and there's
6898s	no um there's there's no working towards
6903s	the generally the big thing about having
6904s	this combining system so I'll use um
6907s	Diablo 2 runes as an example surprising
6908s	Me diabl 2 um in diabl 2 you get uh like
6912s	three L runes you combine them together
6913s	you get an ELD Rune um three ELD runes
6916s	go together and get
6919s	an
6920s	uh if F
6923s	nef teer
6925s	to r or
6928s	thol and you know like it combines up I
6931s	missed one in
6932s	there doesn't matter um so you combine
6935s	three and you get the one above it you
6936s	combine three you get the one above it
6937s	and it's this cumulative building
6939s	towards where you're like okay I just
6941s	got the next rank I just got the next
6943s	rank I just got the next Rank and and
6945s	you know that you're like you're you're
6947s	slowly but surely making it up towards
6949s	the next thing um is usually the thing
6951s	people are trying to get out of a system
6953s	like that um having the three combined
6956s	just redrop the item yes that does get
6958s	around the the main problems that I was
6959s	I was talking about earlier with it um I
6961s	think the big problem with with with
6963s	doing that is that because wings like
6967s	and and other items like even just like
6969s	prism wraps or like you know like you
6970s	get higher LPL items um
6974s	that it's it's
6977s	still it's not going to be a reliable
6979s	way to get more LP out of it um and I
6982s	don't necessarily know if the thing the
6985s	if the so I agree that there's a um a
6989s	gap in the usefulness of uh unique items
6993s	that are like they drop on the ground
6996s	there's a big fan fair about it there's
6997s	a giant beam it's in a special color
6999s	like it's a it's a colored background
7000s	with white text instead of a black
7002s	background with a color text so there
7003s	like a a variance there there's a big
7005s	beam there's a sound there's an icon
7006s	like oh my God it's cool and oh no it's
7008s	something you just have no use for what
7010s	and you walk away from it that feeling
7011s	sucks and trying to do something to
7012s	remedy that's really
7014s	important having the payoff the the the
7017s	thing you get from picking this item up
7019s	be a chance at that item being a higher
7021s	LP might not be the right payoff for
7025s	that um there might be something better
7026s	we could do for that um and and I I'm
7029s	I'm not saying that there is and we're
7031s	decided or anything like that I'm just
7032s	saying that um there might be something
7035s	that's less obvious that that ends up
7036s	being better for the game overall and I
7038s	I think that's the place I would start
7039s	to look myself if we're going to be
7041s	designing the
7046s	system do I just go back in here CU I'm
7048s	trying I'm trying to push to the edge I
7050s	want a shade fight but I'm not going to
7051s	get it before the end of the
7052s	[Music]
7054s	stream just go over here I want some BS
7059s	Grumble Grumble Grumble another Arena
7060s	great take even longer I I've got to
7063s	power these questions you know what put
7064s	it on pause and we're we're going
7066s	through these
7067s	questions let's put this up again while
7069s	I answer
7071s	this it's much cooler than looking at me
7073s	uh characters found uh character found
7076s	in online for 1.0 uh I believe so also
7080s	are you confident to massively improve
7082s	loading times in a party when you're
7084s	joining uh when you join leave toown 1.0
7087s	we're we're putting in a ton of work on
7089s	that it's one of if not the most
7091s	important thing we're working on right
7092s	now it's like the the the primary
7094s	problem in our online experience right
7096s	now and we are we're we're doing
7098s	everything we can to make it better as
7100s	much as we can so it's like it's it's
7103s	right right right up there it's super
7105s	important working hard because it's not
7107s	just strictly um load times for for what
7110s	you said that's the that is by far the
7111s	worst um but it's load times in general
7113s	as well so yeah we're definitely working
7114s	on
7117s	that uh right how does the hit damage
7121s	variance work um
7125s	it's
7128s	uh the rest of the question uh as in uh
7131s	if I have the exact same stats and I hit
7133s	an enemy with the same attack twice two
7135s	hits will have different damage yes okay
7137s	so um like you you're attacking you go
7140s	to hit damage that's going in you have a
7142s	number that it's going to be every
7143s	single time it's calculated um there's a
7146s	slight variance up and down range that
7147s	it's given and it's dropped in that
7149s	number it's the very last thing that
7151s	happens
7152s	um it's there there's no way to scale it
7155s	or affect it or change it it's always
7158s	the same amount of variant no matter
7159s	what for every single hit um and it just
7162s	applies at the very last
7164s	second oh my God there's the rating
7166s	party that was 22 minutes ago oh no okay
7171s	speed mode any plans to rebalance Vault
7173s	no plan I'm balancing who knows sorry uh
7176s	I don't have any info in Balance uh any
7178s	chance to add glyph that protects
7179s	certain aexes with percentage when using
7182s	a removal Rune uh not specifically if
7184s	you have a suggestion please head on
7185s	over to the forums uh why do low Rarity
7188s	items roll with lower Forge potential
7190s	wouldn't it make more sense for normal
7191s	and Magic item store with higher Forge
7192s	potential uh so you can turn them into
7194s	something usable uh I understand the the
7196s	we did try that for a little bit and
7200s	um having everything be possibly usable
7204s	ends up with um you seeing a ton of
7207s	stuff on the ground and um we really
7210s	didn't we really didn't want to make for
7211s	potential filterable um and we figured
7214s	this was it was better to have things be
7216s	a little more swingy in how good they
7218s	are and and sort of like like um age out
7221s	of certain item types was was probably
7223s	going to be better overall uh maybe uh
7227s	we were wrong maybe not I don't know
7228s	we'll we'll have to it is something
7230s	we're keeping an eye on
7232s	overall uh why not make inventory slots
7234s	for items bigger so they have more
7236s	details like in D2 and uh and Poe it
7239s	really gives more feel for when you look
7241s	at them why not give inventory slots for
7244s	items so like the like individual pieces
7249s	or like like up
7254s	here I mean this is this is pretty
7255s	crowded
7257s	already I think that's the main
7260s	thing uh we do have the tool tips are
7262s	getting a little bit of an update with
7264s	fonts actually uh for the previews
7267s	before 1.0 can we actually use them
7268s	before 1.0
7270s	no uh are you satisfied with the
7272s	Scorpion's ability poison Nova because
7274s	it's not that great compared to the
7275s	other companions um I really like it um
7279s	it might not be powerful enough that's
7281s	kind of a different question but I
7282s	really like
7283s	it how powerful it is and how happy I'm
7286s	with the ability are two different
7287s	questions though uh I don't think there
7289s	can ever be a reliable way to get LP
7291s	Wings though without it either being
7293s	busted or taking absolute ages yeah I
7296s	agree uh that's kind of the main problem
7298s	with what I was saying has there ever
7300s	been any discussion about adding an
7301s	evade like mini Mobility skill other
7303s	class some D4 uh it feels good they like
7305s	to feel great in Le yes i' I talked
7307s	about this at length the last two three
7309s	four streams uh cuz I'm so far behind
7311s	I'm going to say oh my God I'm not that
7313s	far behind questions were trying up
7315s	wonderful I'm going to I'm going to
7316s	finish it just like in time you guys are
7318s	fantastic uh I mean where weapon armor
7321s	slot is why not make them bigger oh like
7323s	like like these slots here like the
7326s	paper doll why don't be the paper doll
7327s	bigger I think it's just um like like
7329s	physical space in this in this screen
7332s	there's a lot of stuff a lot of
7333s	information you wanted to pack onto the
7334s	screen uh is is basically all it
7338s	is yeah
7342s	oh my goodness I'm referencing the
7344s	screen there's yeah I did it again I
7348s	think it's just cuz there's not a lot of
7349s	room here woo right at the end I know
7352s	how to make a mistake and on that
7354s	terrible
7355s	disappointment I'll that's one more
7356s	question uh updated a character sheet
7359s	when uh don't hold your breath anytime
