410s	string of Subs we've ever had here by a
412s	very significant margin uh don't really
415s	know what to do with my with
418s	like I yeah
421s	uh mamaru 489 IRAs iratus
428s	simium I I'm supposed to be answering
430s	questions what am I supposed to do can't
431s	play at the same time as all this can
433s	you dial up the volume please Mike O my
436s	volume or the game's volume cuz I've got
439s	me showing myself going into like the
441s	yellow turn myself up a little bit turn
444s	both them up a little
448s	bit show myself like kiss in the yellow
451s	not into the red which I think is where
452s	I'm supposed to
454s	be I might be like facing away from the
456s	microphone and causing problems or
457s	something sorry would you consider
459s	adding in cosmetic rewards for
461s	achievements in the game like in ladders
463s	yeah I think that's the sort of thing we
464s	we'd consider doing um we don't have any
466s	specific plans for it right now but um
469s	you know like that that's along the same
471s	vein of the sorts of things we like to
473s	do so it's something we could consider
475s	and talk about but if you have
476s	suggestions in general please send those
479s	to our Discord suggestions Channel
481s	specifically or our Forum suggestions
484s	Channel I don't write anything down from
486s	the stream so even if you've got a great
488s	idea I probably won't remember
490s	it um there's so many names coming these
495s	is just still the same rings from before
497s	can I can I stop these somehow we
499s	already chain this
501s	long skip to the
508s	end
513s	exu thank you very much and uh
517s	moiz thank you very much everybody this
519s	is
520s	incredible uh what will be the
522s	difference between seasonal server and
523s	non-seasonal server because I don't know
525s	if I should go hard with my character
526s	right now or just wait for the season to
528s	start the biggest difference at 1.0 will
530s	be the fresh uh economy environment
533s	there's so many more uh so you'll you'll
536s	have at 1.0 if you play cycle is what
538s	we're calling that's EAS but cycle same
540s	thing basically um if you play in cycle
542s	everyone you're playing with will have
543s	started at the exact same time at the
546s	earliest so um if if maybe you're new to
549s	the game and uh you don't want to be
552s	starting with a a deficit or something
553s	like that as far as like um getting into
555s	the bizar is concerned or just like
557s	being able to start on things fast like
559s	it's it's like starting on the cycle is
561s	probably a good
563s	idea um the other big thing is that you
565s	can access the ladder on cycle so you'll
567s	be able to compete against other people
569s	to see how you can get in the arena but
571s	but content wise of like stuff to do in
574s	the game what items exist in the game
575s	what game modes exist in the game things
577s	like that that's all consistent between
580s	cycle and Legacy which is the season and
582s	non-season or season and
585s	standard thank you so much everybody to
588s	Harel hackert damage gck Baron atrox
592s	adjoiner and seay 65 70 75 not 65
600s	75 I don't know why I I can read numbers
603s	I
617s	swear that's spinny boy oh R research
623s	lovely not too bad drop
626s	there uh more questions herey we're
629s	watching you on stream right now I can't
631s	wait for
633s	lease I can't wait
635s	either yeah however excited uh anyone is
638s	here
640s	like this has been all day every day for
643s	the last like six years of my life
650s	plus the anticipation
654s	is
657s	helpable uh do you feel 1.0 patch covers
660s	most of if not all memory leaks found so
662s	far in game I believe
680s	so Bard on
682s	him Dash too
686s	far this uh ringing I don't know how to
689s	stop
690s	it cuz it's still going from old ones
694s	and it just keeps
698s	going got some bits from cat meow
700s	another sub from X fanex and HEC off
705s	thank you very much appreciate
710s	it uh will both faction be able to play
712s	together yes they will do you feel the
715s	that if you die in hardcore cycle I'm
718s	just going to edit the question here
719s	does your character become softcore
721s	cycle or just softcore there is I'm just
723s	going to answer this a slightly
725s	different way first and I'll answer the
726s	question um there is no way to move a
729s	character between cycle and Legacy other
733s	than when a new cycle starts so everyone
736s	rotates together you can't individually
739s	rotate one character everyone goes
746s	together so no you do not
750s	become uh softcore Legacy yes you do
754s	become softcore
761s	cycle uh are you planning to add store
763s	skins for things like spron form and
765s	swarmm blade form I think it would be
767s	really cool to have a female drad option
769s	for spron um we do play skill Cosmetics
772s	um that's that is something we are
776s	doing uh you can see it in your
779s	appearance stab at the bottom here boom
781s	skills um we don't necessarily we don't
785s	have any for 1.0 ready to go yet but um
788s	we are planning skill Cosmetics for um
791s	any type of skill um I I'm sure like the
794s	initial version of it won't have one for
796s	every skill but we'll do our best to
798s	include as many of them as possible as
799s	soon as possible
802s	um yes skill Cosmetics are thing and
805s	transforms are
808s	skills uh will there be any graphics
810s	updates with 1.0 I've heard yes and no
812s	on the interwebs uh yes there will be um
815s	the primary form of these Graphics
816s	changes comes from lighting updates um
820s	so you'll you'll you'll see a lot of
821s	nice little lighting changes um there's
823s	there's some new tools we've um
825s	implemented for level designers and
827s	things like that as well so they've been
828s	going through um End of Time looks
830s	really different and it's so much better
833s	that's that's that's one I think got the
834s	biggest facelift
836s	actually um but yeah there's there's
838s	some changes it's not not like a like if
841s	you stick screenshots of 0.92 and 1.0
843s	side by side you'll be like okay that's
845s	obviously clearly the same game same art
847s	style same like General theming and
849s	Direction all that sort of stuff but
850s	it's not uh but you'll be like okay the
852s	new one looks better it's like it's it's
854s	obvious so which is which and all those
856s	sorts of things but like we're not we're
857s	not going to see a huge paradigm shift
859s	and you can see those updated Graphics
861s	in the various trailers that are out and
863s	about we're getting bits my
868s	goodness onium sounds like a sweet
872s	mineral discovered yet like some
880s	alien uh kjun kug welcome
885s	home and
890s	hethor glad to have you with us thank
892s	you very much appreciate all of
895s	you will Cosmetics be for offline
897s	characters at 1.0 cosmetics will not be
899s	available for offline characters the
901s	initial launch they will start out as
903s	strictly online
906s	options uh how different will The Meta
909s	be after launch of the game compared
910s	right now it's so hard to predict a meta
912s	my goodness we've tried before you all
916s	come up with wonderful build ideas um
920s	and you know sometimes people like
922s	certain play styles that uh we expect
924s	them to not like and that sort of thing
925s	so like um it's not all about power
928s	sometimes is just about feel and
930s	sometimes we feel things work really
932s	well one way and sometimes you guys
933s	don't agree with us and that's totally
935s	fine um so it's really hard to predict I
938s	think there's going to be quite the
939s	shakeup I mean there's two new masteries
942s	coming in um there's there's uh two
946s	skills are getting new skill trees and
949s	there's a whole new skill coming in as
950s	well for for uh base primalist like
952s	there's there's enough happening just
954s	sort of in that alone that there's going
955s	to be a shakeup but then like you look
956s	at all the
958s	balancing
959s	excuse me you look at all the balance
961s	changes and you look at all of the
965s	um
967s	uh like item changes and things like
970s	that like there's there's there's just
971s	like a lot of incidental stuff that's
972s	going to have some pretty big
974s	impact you know it might be that like
976s	one little node that's like fixed a bug
979s	where the cool down wasn't resetting on
980s	this properly trigger and it's like oh a
981s	new archetype just
983s	unlocked and someone will find
986s	it um so it's it's really hard to
988s	predict uh meta
995s	changes we did work hard to keep the
998s	things the the the the archetypes and
1000s	the play Styles and the play patterns
1002s	and the theming that people really enjoy
1004s	playing right now still quite strong um
1007s	like there's there's certain things that
1008s	did get Nerfs um but you know that's to
1011s	be expected I think
1014s	and we we try to keep things that are
1017s	that that someone's like oh I really
1019s	enjoy playing last defo because I like
1021s	my we bear we don't want to take we bear
1023s	and be like he we bear sucks now you
1025s	know that sort of thing like so we we
1026s	still try and keep the general theming
1029s	um at least in the same strong category
1033s	and
1034s	um you know may maybe it be like okay
1036s	well now you have to use this ability
1038s	with it instead and it's like uh to to
1040s	be like really top tier but the old way
1041s	still works fine or something like that
1043s	you
1045s	know I've been playing off and on for
1047s	years amazing game thank you but the
1049s	last time I tried multiplayer was a
1050s	buggy laggy mess are you confident that
1052s	1.0 is going to be cohesive multiplayer
1054s	system for the game multiplayer is the
1055s	like I keep saying this over over was
1057s	Point sick and tired of me saying this
1058s	but um multiplayer is and has been our
1060s	number one priority for stability
1062s	performance um just like the experience
1064s	you get when playing it making sure
1066s	that's great um you know that's been
1069s	number one priority for a long time now
1070s	and then that's not changed so doing our
1072s	best to make it as good as possible
1074s	um it's it's a pretty highly variable
1077s	experience across the board and uh we're
1079s	trying to make sure that that minimum
1081s	experience is still really
1086s	good thank you all the people who are
1089s	donating stuff right now it's
1097s	great
1101s	um uh kakuro and double
1105s	prizes thank you very much glad to have
1108s	you with us hope you're having
1110s	fun uh hi oh and also if I do miss one
1113s	of your questions I'm super sorry uh I'm
1115s	not doing intentionally I need at last
1117s	Depot game in the question and oh my God
1119s	I just looked at the viewer account and
1121s	I understand what's going
1123s	on there's a one in front of that number
1125s	that's not normally
1128s	there okay I may need to change things
1130s	slightly I'm going to get through a
1132s	fraction of these
1137s	questions so put this into context you
1139s	usually there's about two to 300 people
1141s	if it's if it's a busy day is 300 a slow
1143s	day is 150 200 people here so this is
1146s	going to be a little overwhelming for
1150s	me uh what is that back decoration you
1154s	are wearing I'm just you and just bought

1158s	um I know the name of it I totally know
1161s	the name of
1163s	it uh it is this piece right
1167s	here I'm basically wearing this whole
1169s	set right
1170s	now stuff because I love
1180s	it if you want to see something else I
1182s	can put something else on too I should
1183s	have access to most
1187s	things um hi will the servers be more
1190s	stable on online mode we're doing our
1192s	best are there any updates enhancements
1195s	to existing story I understand no new
1197s	story chapters be added there's some
1199s	there's some adjustments and minor
1200s	changes and things like that but the
1202s	like there's there's not like big uh
1205s	story Revelations that'll be like um
1209s	shocking and amazing or anything like
1210s	that for
1211s	1.0 so if you're familiar with the story

1269s	welcome thank you very much for those
1270s	gifted Subs congrats everyone who got a
1272s	gifted sub too that is
1274s	fantastic
1276s	uh how's the controller stability coming
1278s	along I think it's I think it's doing
1279s	really good um there's there's updates
1281s	for 1.0 coming uh did you not stream
1282s	last week to avoid me asking about the
1284s	reward character she that's not why but
1286s	I mean it was a good
1287s	bonus uh no last week last week there
1289s	was just a lot going on there a lot of
1290s	other streamers happening we didn't want
1291s	to encroach on the other
1294s	streamers and my hands in the wrong spot
1296s	on the uh and I also um last week was
1300s	the cut off and I got a sweet bug fix in
1304s	in that extra those extra two hours that
1307s	those extra two hours meant a sweet bug
1309s	fix so worth
1316s	it just there's just so many
1319s	I I don't know how to stop
1323s	this uh I've only played offline but
1326s	plan to play online at launch with
1327s	friends there's apparently connection
1328s	server problems when playing multiplayer
1330s	what the steps being taken to reduce
1331s	this on launch I I do not know the full
1334s	technical details of the all the changes
1336s	they're making um the the reason why
1338s	scene
1339s	loading is uh so different in online and
1342s	offline especially when you're in a
1343s	party is because when you're in a party
1345s	and you enter a new Zone it actually
1347s	spins up a new server for that zone when
1351s	you're on your own it it replaces the
1353s	content in the existing server so you um
1356s	don't have to wait for uh an entire
1359s	session to start so it goes a lot faster
1361s	and you see that that clip that that
1363s	portal back to this Echo a world that I
1364s	just did there how that's like instant
1367s	um that's because it's physically loaded
1368s	in the same space already and it's it's
1371s	it's exactly the same as casting
1372s	teleporter transplant like it's just
1374s	physically saying okay your location is
1376s	now here that's all it's doing it's it's
1378s	like this echo of a world is existing on
1380s	an island floating off in the middle of
1382s	nowhere in every monolith you
1386s	do and when you go and you and you do
1388s	this and you open a new one and you do
1389s	this and this this this here what that's
1391s	doing is it's um deleting all of the
1393s	objects that are out there and it's
1395s	making a new one which is why you can't
1397s	start that when someone else in your
1399s	party is out there still has to everyone
1400s	has to be an echo
1406s	World Mike you died for a change what oh
1410s	I died for a change in the game
1414s	yes uh what's up Mike hello congrats for
1417s	the great game thank you here's my
1418s	question starting a new cycle character
1420s	on 1.0 what tag will receive the items
1423s	that I get before select the faction uh
1426s	there will be items with no tags at all
1428s	yes you will have untagged items they
1430s	will be exactly the same as this one for
1432s	example um and you will just
1435s	have an untagged item
1443s	and untagged items can be traded at the
1445s	auction house sorry bizarre untagged
1448s	items can be uh gifted to players who
1450s	are in the same Zone as you when it
1452s	dropped or ones that have had a
1453s	resonance used on them for an approp the
1455s	appropriate player
1457s	um untagged items can be equipped by
1459s	both Merchant skilled and circle of
1460s	Fortune
1462s	players
1465s	uh those are all the edge cases I should
1467s	mention
1470s	clarifications uh can there be more than
1472s	just one attempt at each Echo please um
1476s	so if you if you probably not definitely
1478s	not for 1.0 um this is something that's
1480s	really important for how the um like
1483s	death penalty system works is you're
1485s	losing that opportunity to get the bonus
1486s	you can still attempt the echo again for
1488s	the same stuff you just lose the
1489s	specific bonus for it um and this is
1492s	this is a pretty important part of that
1494s	uh gameplay Loop is having that um
1498s	like having that death penalty like
1500s	looming I think is really important for
1502s	tension
1505s	building uh can we get the launch of the
1507s	game sooner pry please uh do you want it
1509s	fast or do you want it
1514s	good uh please tell me will you will
1517s	release a pigeon skin for the falconer
1522s	uh and a pigeon poop skin for the acid
1523s	flask I just keep thinking of how
1525s	awesome it would be that's H the Falcon
1527s	preview I mean that's that's pretty
1528s	hilarious um there's a few skins we've
1531s	talked about doing for the for the
1533s	Falcon that I think will happen sooner
1534s	that might be a little bit more
1537s	exciting but yeah it's a sweet one I
1540s	like
1543s	it uh I'll start with the main question
1545s	that everyone wants to know 1.0 patch
1546s	notes when on the 19th you can check
1548s	that info on the
1551s	FAQ I've been playing on and off off and
1554s	on
1555s	sorry uh for years amazing game the last
1559s	time oh uh same question isn't it um
1562s	please don't Reas a question unless it's
1564s	like obvious that I like BL past it
1567s	still really far
1569s	behind
1571s	um so how fire is warlock I mean it's
1575s	half fire because it's half necrotic as
1578s	well but like it's a lot of both so it's
1581s	pretty
1582s	fire did you expect this much interest I
1586s	mean expect is probably the wrong ter
1589s	hoped yeah
1592s	um expect
1594s	a
1596s	no
1598s	no uh right now there are a lot of
1600s	issues with low talked about
1604s	that um when you leak new necro unique
1610s	I don't think there no I'm just kidding
1613s	uh I don't have anything to leak today
1615s	I'm
1616s	sorry uh hello game to youth how you
1620s	doing bud any idea if R&B swapping is
1623s	fixed for 1.0 it has not been
1625s	implemented on any build of the
1631s	game I know takes uh will there be any
1635s	significant Nerfs regarding any skill
1637s	lines that would affect player builds
1641s	yes hopefully that's obvious and a
1644s	given uh will there be any uh will there
1648s	be any game giveaways before launch um I
1650s	don't think we're doing any game
1652s	giveaways specifically I could be wrong
1654s	I know I know we have some giveaways for
1656s	things other than the game happening um
1658s	and I know that there are some some
1660s	channels that do giveaways like um like
1663s	so I I would I would keep an eye open
1665s	for people doing those but I don't think
1667s	we're the place to go for
1670s	that
1674s	um uh speaking of
1677s	giveaways I've got talking points I'm a
1683s	professional uh IGN has a giveaway um
1688s	IGN has a giveway for one of those sweet
1690s	uh star Forge PCS
1693s	um and uh yeah so there's a uh like a
1698s	sweet custom PC with like last deck
1701s	stuff on it like different plates you
1702s	can swap out on the front for like uh
1704s	different classes and all sort of stuff
1705s	and it's amazing um there's a forum
1709s	Thread about that that has all the
1711s	details so if you're interested in
1714s	entering go
1716s	enter maybe you'll get a sweet
1721s	computer uh what else is
1726s	there oh yeah we are doing um here's
1729s	something cool I'll mention this again
1730s	later we are doing a Reddit am on uh our
1734s	games on Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. CST
1738s	uh so that
1741s	is like four hours before the stream
1743s	starts like four and a half hours ago
1745s	relative time um on Tuesday doing an uh
1750s	Reddit
1752s	Ma I know I know there's a bunch there's
1754s	like a threat an internal thread of
1755s	people like putting down their usernames
1756s	so I know a lot of people from the team
1757s	are going to be
1759s	there so it's super dup won't just be
1765s	me I do know a lot of people want want
1768s	info
1770s	from lots of people on the team not just
1772s	me which is
1776s	great
1782s	uh do you guys have any plans on making
1784s	magic and rare mobs more visible in
1787s	terms of Rarity I find it hard to tell
1788s	if a mob is rare um yeah there's there's
1791s	some stuff we're doing to the to the
1792s	health bar at the top um to make that a
1795s	little bit more clear um I don't know if
1798s	there's much in game that's happening to
1801s	do that there's no like big yellow
1803s	Spotlight or something on the rare ones
1805s	yet um I don't think we're planning
1806s	anything like that but you know
1812s	maybe don't forget to put atlast OT game
1814s	in the question if you'd like me to
1815s	answer it I've been playing oh that's
1817s	another one
1821s	uh I'm just going to skim over load time
1824s	multiplayer questions cuz I feel like
1825s	I've answered that a couple times
1826s	now
1830s	hello sir I need Precision about the
1834s	ways to trigger the Paladin sigils of
1837s	Hope um I'm in one stream you agreed it
1840s	was a bit too much busy work right now
1843s	and that you were thinking about other
1844s	ways to activate them more automatically
1847s	in another stream you said it wasn't the
1848s	case so
1849s	whiches
1852s	um I I mean I don't I don't know which
1854s	what I said exactly but I would say that
1856s	there are we we are not making major
1859s	changes to it in 1.0 let say that um
1863s	there are ways we are looking at
1865s	adjusting I should save for those drops
1868s	that's something that's something that I
1869s	was
1870s	fixed
1873s	um
1874s	the they talking about sigil automation
1877s	yeah there's sigils sigils is clunky I I
1881s	if I ever said it wasn't clunky I'm
1882s	sorry cils are clunky um they need to
1885s	they need to have some adjustments for
1887s	like just user experience adjustments in
1889s	general um one of those ways that we'll
1891s	probably be exploring is Select
1893s	Automation and select triggering and
1894s	select things like that so I'd say
1896s	there's a good chance that you'll see
1897s	some of those updates in the future but
1899s	not for
1903s	1.0 uh you going to give gameway keys me
1906s	first no sorry I don't have any keys to
1907s	give away uh we're going to have our
1909s	amount of stash tabs transformed to new
1912s	Cycles every few months or are we going
1914s	to need to buy every uh single tab each
1916s	season the current plan is you will have
1918s	to Reby your
1919s	tabs I know that sounds like a lot
1923s	um and and you know like if if it's not
1926s	a good user experience we we might look
1927s	at a way to either just reduce the price
1930s	of tabs in general um there's there's
1932s	not going to be a way to carry that that
1934s	over from cycle to cycle because people
1937s	who are starting brand new in that cycle
1939s	need to have the same potential as
1942s	everyone else so it's it's not going to
1944s	be something that transfers but it is
1945s	going to be um something we look at for
1947s	feedback and maybe make changes possible
1949s	as everything
1952s	else uh are we going to load other
1955s	players stash no we don't Lo other
1957s	players stash uh do you have any plans
1959s	to allow offline players to use the
1960s	Cosmetics um gain via twitch DRS
1962s	cosmetic for 1.0 initially are uh online
1966s	only objects
1969s	period uh hey mik quick question 5 days
1971s	ago does that mean on the 20th or 21st
1973s	21st like there's five more days from
1974s	now we
1976s	launch
1979s	uh I don't know if you can answer this
1980s	oh here here's an important thing before
1981s	I answer the next question is that um
1985s	the 24 hours before launch everything's
1988s	going down we are going completely dark
1990s	for 24 hours um servers are going down
1992s	basically so you won't be able to play
1994s	the game online or offline for the 24
1996s	hours before the game launches um
1998s	there's a few things we need to do to
1999s	prep for launch and uh this downtime is
2002s	going to give us that opportunity so um
2006s	yeah
2013s	there if you are already signed into the
2016s	game in on an offline
2019s	character um you should be able to keep
2022s	playing on that same offline character
2024s	for those 24 hours but uh I think as
2027s	soon as you hit like as soon as you go
2028s	back to character select it'll freak out
2030s	it might let you go back to character
2032s	they don't if you close the game it
2033s	won't open
2035s	again after launch you will be able to
2039s	open and close the game in offline mode
2040s	without internet connection it's fine
2042s	but that's one of the things we're
2049s	changing uh all right I don't know if
2052s	you can answer this maybe we'll see but
2054s	what kind of stuff are you guys doing to
2055s	prep for launch recording servers and
2056s	popularity I mean uh the the details are
2060s	kind of boring it's just
2062s	like like testing things a lot and you
2066s	know making sure that the capacity is
2067s	ready and you know like uh we we've got
2071s	our partners that Supply the servers on
2073s	standby that know what's happening and
2075s	know that there's going to be a big
2076s	change all of a sudden got all all of
2080s	our staff you know like taking some time
2082s	to rest a little bit before so people
2084s	are prepped if changes need to be made
2085s	like you know we're we're we're doing
2087s	tons of stuff to make sure that this
2088s	launch goes smoothly um because like
2090s	there's going to there's going to be
2091s	struggles there's going to be problems
2092s	that need to be fixed there's you know
2094s	like we we've got the we've got the team
2096s	ready to go to fix them as soon as we
2097s	can um but we're you know preparing as
2100s	much as we can
2103s	too feelings towards battle passes in
2107s	arpg this is a long question I don't
2109s	think I have time to answer it my God
2111s	we're almost at 1500
2113s	people wow it's pretty overwhelming cool
2115s	I love it
2117s	um the short version of this question I
2120s	think that there is room for a wellone
2123s	battle pass style system in RPGs in
2126s	general
2128s	um I don't have any examples to point to
2130s	of of those being done successfully I
2132s	know I said this last time and and a few
2133s	people um mentioned some good examples
2135s	uh and I don't remember what those were
2137s	I'm sorry that I think I think that
2139s	there is nothing intrinsically wrong
2140s	with a battle pass system I think that
2143s	I've never found one that I've been
2145s	interested in in Pay paying for myself
2149s	um I we we have no plans to add a battle
2152s	pass system I probably should have said
2153s	that first
2155s	um but the question question was about
2157s	my thoughts on Battle passes in general
2160s	um I think they're that there's that
2163s	there's room for them to be done well I
2165s	I don't have a good example of them
2166s	being done well but I think it's
2167s	possible that someone
2173s	could and I don't specifically know how
2175s	to do that myself either I have to do a
2178s	lot of research to figure out how to do
2179s	that the
2181s	best uh any updates on snapshotting 1.0
2184s	um the Falcon doesn't snapshot very well
2186s	like very much it's there there's
2188s	there's sort of a experimental system
2190s	with the Falcon um that combats
2193s	snapshotting on the Falcon so this the
2194s	Falcon will be um the Falcon snapshots
2198s	for like uh a few seconds at
2204s	most 30 seconds at
2210s	most but you won't know when it's fixing
2212s	the snapshot cuz it it happens super
2215s	sneaky there's there's a lot there's a
2216s	lot of things with the Falcon that are
2218s	like these weird little tricks that
2219s	you're like well that sounds like the
2221s	dumbest thing in the world but it just
2222s	works and it's the only way to make it
2228s	work uh can we get a hardcore mode that
2230s	puts you out of the season if you die
2231s	like Poe right now hardcore doesn't seem
2233s	punishing enough um we don't plan on
2238s	doing that right now uh if you have
2239s	suggestions or requests please put them
2241s	on the forums or Discord
2246s	um I think for people who play hardcore
2249s	who like really play
2251s	hardcore or like your like your stash is
2254s	full of your stuff for your hardcore
2255s	characters and like like that's what
2256s	you're playing um the instant that
2258s	character dies doesn't really matter
2259s	where it goes as long as it doesn't have
2261s	access to that same environment it's
2264s	it's it's done right like it's kind of
2266s	dead um and I think people who want to
2270s	just dip their toe in and maybe try out
2272s	hardcore and say like hey maybe this is
2274s	something I do want to do and see how it
2276s	affects them and all sort of stuff I
2277s	think this is this this method affords
2278s	those people an opportunity to try it
2280s	and maybe bring more people into that
2281s	hardcore
2288s	fold uh are you planning on having
2291s	different um variations of huge VFX
2293s	wings for the end game of the shop uh
2296s	these These are the biggest we
2299s	have there's a couple that are like on
2301s	the same scale as this but this is like
2302s	that's as big as they get right now um
2305s	and we have we have a few variations uh
2307s	up support packs um so yeah here's the
2310s	banker back piece here's the Templar one
2314s	like so this is this is about as as as
2315s	big as they get
2318s	um there's not that many
2321s	here yeah this this one's pretty big
2323s	actually this is pretty big let's let's
2326s	buy
2333s	it oh it's not that big it was a lot
2335s	bigger a while ago
2339s	it's actually really nice though I like
2340s	it I don't think these I think the last
2341s	time I saw this actually the um these uh
2344s	I don't think it moved at all last time
2346s	I saw it that's
2347s	cool all right
2351s	neat I'm learning
2355s	stuff uh is there any plans for Merch
2358s	and sweat sweatshirt posters oh my
2359s	goodness I want it so bad my mom asked
2362s	me like every week like do you have a
2364s	shirt for me yet I'm like no soon
2369s	promise I actually gave her so at
2371s	Gamescom we there was some some playmats
2373s	that were at Gamescom that were signing
2375s	and giving away um and I I got one for
2377s	myself and brought it home and uh my mom
2381s	came down to visit and saw it was like I

2404s	room oh release thank you very much
2407s	that's a big gifted sub pool there's a
2408s	bunch of others there too wow congrats

2419s	sweet darl you gied 300 Subs to the
2422s	channel is that what you just
2424s	said
2425s	no
2429s	that's insane oh jud's here I just saw
2432s	that say hi
2435s	Jud we're about to break 1500 people
2438s	watching this a little
2442s	crazy I feel like I should have someone
2443s	feeding me questions instead of me just
2445s	trying to read them in
2448s	order I can he just fine oh my God that
2451s	was like half an hour ago I was talking
2452s	about
2455s	that uh re
2459s	question is upgraded Cosmetics be shown
2461s	for offline characters Cosmetics are
2463s	still online only uh can you tell me
2465s	please if I will still have glancing
2467s	blows and Dodge blown in my face at low
2470s	level corruption monoliths um oh I
2472s	saying as as as
2474s	um uh the things that that trip you up
2478s	these things these negative things that
2479s	happen um the scaling of those uh was
2484s	changed pretty
2485s	heavily
2494s	um okay I think I've managed to mute
2499s	them uh I'm going to have to learn how
2501s	to do this for real aren't I uh the the
2505s	scaling on how powerful those effects
2507s	are uh now
2510s	changes or
2513s	doesn't it's
2515s	nicer it's ni nicer than it
2517s	was
2526s	um I love I love these items that you
2529s	get here like I know this is like it's a
2531s	low roll on a garbage T6 AIX but like a
2535s	uh when you get an item that's just a
2536s	single exalted AIX I love those
2542s	items
2545s	oo rooll in the
2553s	crit you know we're just not the right
2555s	class at all
2556s	but it's fun to look you know window
2560s	shopping
2563s	um will Cycles ever have their own
2565s	mechanics like some of the other popular
2567s	RPGs this this is something that we're
2568s	still sort of working out how we're
2570s	going to handle it exactly um the only
2573s	thing I have a firm answer for you on
2574s	this topic is that one point you know
2577s	will not
2579s	um like ever's what say ever's a long
2582s	time um I think that this is the sort of
2586s	thing that's going to be uh pretty
2588s	heavily debated amongst our community in
2590s	a in a positive
2591s	way uh and we're going to be we're going
2593s	to be looking into that feedback to see
2594s	what people want um what sorts of
2596s	mechanics people
2598s	enjoy all those sorts of things
2601s	um I think there's a decent chance that
2603s	we'll start small and we'll we'll
2606s	eventually like say Hey you know okay
2608s	people really like to see something here
2610s	maybe like I I'm literally making this
2612s	up right now but maybe we're like oh hey
2614s	oh zombie belt maybe we say um like
2617s	here's here's a unique item or something
2618s	like that that's that's cycle only you
2620s	know start small
2623s	um we're still we're still working out
2625s	how we're going to handle that exactly
2627s	and
2630s	uh yeah we're just we're really focused
2632s	on 1.0 right now so 1.0 is um no cycle
2636s	specific
2637s	mechanics it's not off the table for the
2639s	future but we're not set in stone on
2641s	exactly what we're going to do
2650s	yet more questions okay Mike uh I just
2654s	want clarification on 1.0 do we all
2656s	start with fresh characters or can we
2657s	transfer them from 0.92 um so all of
2660s	your characters that are currently
2662s	playable in 0.92 are let's just say it
2665s	effectively Legacy characters
2667s	they will still be available when 1.0
2669s	drops to play on the Legacy realm um
2672s	this is the same as standard in Poe or
2675s	non-ladder in DIA 2 for example um these
2678s	characters are
2679s	playable you know nothing nothing they
2681s	don't lose their levels they don't lose
2683s	their gear you know they're not
2684s	transferred to offline they're they're
2685s	just they're Legacy
2688s	characters
2690s	um we will be uh when cycle starts if
2694s	you want to play on the ladder if you
2696s	want to play with uh the fresh economy
2699s	um you'll you'll need to you'll need to
2701s	start a cycle character to do
2705s	that non non cycle or Legacy characters
2708s	can still play with the new mechanics
2710s	all all the stuff's there all the like
2712s	things to interact with and objects and
2715s	you know uh ways to get there and
2716s	everything that's that's all there in in
2718s	Legacy 1.0 it's it's the same game
2721s	there's just um no one gets a head start
2723s	with cycle and there's
2725s	ladder that's the big difference just
2726s	for 1.0
2729s	um
2732s	yeah hope that was
2736s	clear uh about the ultim Mach yesterday
2738s	felt good
2740s	awesome uh we'll seasonal okay here's
2742s	something actually uh the one thing that
2744s	is going away just cuz someone mentioned
2746s	the packs um the one thing that's going
2748s	away at launch I get this question
2750s	pretty frequently is like uh will will
2752s	the will the packs extend into launch
2754s	are the prices changing anything like
2755s	that the prices are are not changing the
2757s	packs are staying the same the only
2759s	piece that's different is the golden
2760s	guppy pre-order bonus mini pet will not
2764s	be included after launch it's a
2766s	pre-order bonus you only get it if you
2768s	buy one of those packs or just the base
2771s	game before 1.0 so the you you don't
2775s	need to buy any of the special packs any
2776s	of the supporter packs any ultimate
2777s	editions or Deluxe editions or anything
2779s	like that it's just the golden guppy
2780s	pack that comes with that everyone gets
2783s	who's bought the game before launch uh
2785s	that's the one piece that is
2789s	um uh like that'll
2795s	disappear oh my gosh I'm so far behind
2798s	in chat that it's like you don't get to
2800s	you don't get to see this far back and
2801s	it's just like cutting questions off for
2803s	me so I'm sorry I'm losing questions
2807s	here any way to cast Gathering storm
2809s	while springing form I don't think
2814s	so I don't think there's like a the
2816s	triggered ability that triggers it I
2817s	don't think there a direct way to do it
2827s	either uh do you think the Druid is
2829s	doing too much uh no I I think that
2833s	there's a really intentional difference
2835s	in complexity class to class that we do
2838s	um and and I think that gives people uh
2841s	different different ways to play and
2842s	draws different people in for different
2843s	types of things and so uh a really good
2845s	example of this is just uh run Master
2848s	run Master is one of the most complex
2849s	classes we've ever done and the general
2852s	uh theming and most of the time like
2855s	like style of the effects and the play
2856s	style that sort thing is very similar to
2858s	Sorcerer And sorcerer is is a much um
2860s	less complex version of run master or
2864s	run Master is a more complex version of
2865s	sorcerer like depending on how you look
2866s	at it and um I think different people
2869s	are going to gravitate to different
2870s	things and we TR we try and do other
2871s	things to make them stand out like
2872s	that's definitely not the only thing we
2873s	do to make them stand out um but but
2876s	it's it is it is uh something that we do
2878s	intentionally so it's and that's the
2880s	same sort of thing with with Druid it's
2882s	a pretty high complexity class and
2883s	that's intentional
2887s	um yeah you look at there there's
2889s	different complexity levels across
2891s	different classes and that's yeah
2897s	cool I got to play the game less I'm
2900s	just I'm just losing questions I'm so
2901s	sorry if I've skipped your question it's
2903s	not intentional I just don't see it
2904s	anymore uh the game is getting a lot of
2907s	attention how you preparing
2908s	infrastructure I I answer this so many
2910s	times
2912s	um have I two questions if you're a void
2916s	Knight can your Echo proc Healing Hands
2918s	with cleric Hammer oh it's I'm losing
2921s	this question oh go away there's like a
2923s	notice I can't see top that oh no okay
2924s	here's what I'm going to do I'm losing
2927s	control of this hard I'm going to scroll
2929s	down a chunk I'm just I'm sorry I'm just
2931s	going to blow past a bunch of questions
2932s	here it's happening I apologize but I'm
2935s	just not going to see like I'm just
2937s	losing questions
2939s	otherwise so if you asked the question a
2941s	long time ago and you really like to see
2942s	it answered still uh you can go ahead
2944s	and repost it uh because I'm I'm just
2947s	jumping in here randomly uh how
2950s	impactful will the cycle seasonal
2951s	content be initially it's the same thing
2952s	so zero uh are you guys taking a look at
2955s	set bonuses that seem to lackluster in
2957s	the best of cases yeah sets have uh a
2960s	storyed history of being less awesome
2962s	than they need to be in our game um we
2965s	do have a plan to up their awesome
2967s	Factor it will not be delivered in 1.0
2970s	unfortunately there are some select
2972s	changes we are making to certain set
2974s	items to help them um be more
2977s	interesting in uh in endgame situations
2980s	there's there's not huge overhauls
2981s	happening um I would expect to see a
2983s	more cohesive set um glow up refresh as
2988s	a whole thing in the
2991s	future uh question other plans to
2993s	introduce character customization Plus
2995s	non-gender under locked roles there are
2997s	long-term plans for this sort of thing
2998s	it's a pretty complex system for us and
3001s	uh it's something that we want to to
3003s	Really you know do do right and have
3005s	have our own um like level of quality
3008s	that we can we can set to it and and
3010s	it's it's something that we will we do
3012s	plan to uh to add to the game but we do
3016s	not have a set time frame for it at the
3019s	moment um so if this is a deal breaker
3021s	for you I'm super sorry it will not be
3023s	available 1.0 I do not have a set time
3026s	important to come in either
3029s	um oh that's a fun item it's a really
3032s	fun item this item like uh you if you're
3036s	if you have it equipped and you
3039s	shatter uh
3041s	weapons it like it steals the axes off
3044s	the things you're shattering and like
3047s	slaps it onto itself as a different way
3049s	of doing a legendary
3050s	item and uh it's you got to be careful
3053s	because if you start shattering things
3055s	when you have it equipped it'll they'll
3056s	just like start taking aexes and remove
3057s	the old
3059s	ones that's that's a very unique unique
3063s	item I like it a lot that was an
3065s	experiment went
3068s	well all
3078s	right might just want to ask there are
3080s	any possibilities for a South African
3082s	server um we are not adding a South
3084s	African server at 1.0
3086s	um you know it's it's it's really a
3090s	um cost
3093s	demand uh like calculation that happens
3096s	to determine where servers go we we we
3099s	try to have as good coverage as possible
3102s	um and we know it's not perfect and uh
3104s	you know we'll we'll we are going to
3105s	work to improve that as time goes on um
3107s	I can't make any specific promises as to
3109s	where those will go
3111s	um or or like what changes at all like
3114s	there's that's that's all very much up
3115s	in the in the air um but you know like
3118s	that that's a priority for us is is
3119s	multiplayer experience in
3122s	general uh will there be any sort of
3123s	twitch promotions such as drops on elled
3125s	launch twitch drops we announced uh
3127s	there's three sets of twitch drops I
3128s	think um two opportunities for each one
3132s	uh you'll have to go to our forums for
3133s	specific times for that I don't know
3135s	when if that's I don't know when that is
3137s	sorry or has already happened
3141s	maybe but yeah we got we got twitch drop
3143s	set
3144s	up set
3153s	up uh there was a question I think
3156s	cyborg you were asking a question about
3157s	Healing Hands
3160s	um I
3162s	I feel like I answered one that was
3164s	about those same nodes in the ASD devs
3167s	but I feel like you would have seen that
3169s	so I don't
3170s	uh don't know what it was exactly
3173s	there's there's some funkiness happening
3174s	there for for
3185s	sure uh pre-download the game when
3187s	because we have offline mode like full
3189s	offline mode we're not doing any sort of
3191s	preloads at all that's that's the train
3196s	off uh will R tracing be added uh the
3199s	current game engine does not have
3201s	functionality for R tracing um I'm also
3205s	not sure if it's the type of game that
3206s	benefits the most from it and
3209s	um so I I don't think it's something
3211s	that we're really looking at right now
3214s	but uh you know maybe maybe
3216s	someday I'd love to it' be
3221s	sweet finally got an RTX card
3225s	huh
3234s	technically
3236s	is it possible to get a real update on
3237s	controller changes without waiting for
3238s	1.0 no there's not going to be any uh
3240s	patch updates before 1.0 for things like
3244s	that uh how do you approach things when
3246s	it comes to sets because uh what can
3249s	happen really fast is that sets are
3250s	mandator too strong like d 3 as an
3251s	example yeah I mean I think it's pretty
3254s	clear that we've aired on the side of
3255s	caution to avoid that exact scenario
3260s	um how do I answer this question without
3262s	spoiling our plans h
3270s	I think that we need to focus on the
3273s	strengths of a set
3275s	item uh and I think that the largest
3279s	strength of a set item is
3282s	the um is the progressive power increase
3287s	of of completing that set it's that it
3290s	starts off as one item and that item
3292s	might be useful for you um and as your
3294s	character grows and maybe you get
3295s	another piece it's uh getting that
3297s	second piece in there maybe they work
3299s	together it's that Synergy that helps
3301s	them become more than they are on their
3303s	own um having that style of like that
3308s	like that that's a I was I was really
3309s	just describing how Rune wordss work in
3311s	diabl 2 which is one of the best systems
3312s	in that game ever had arguably
3316s	um and and so so that sort of feeling I
3320s	think is really useful
3324s	um
3327s	and what else can I say about set items
3330s	oh yeah the storytelling aspect of them
3331s	I think set items are a really great way
3333s	to um to to to to show off a character
3337s	in the world with with with items like
3340s	you get you get these items of like oh
3341s	so and so used this specific type of
3344s	item it was customized for them and it
3346s	shows you how that character played or
3348s	or fought as a character and it I think
3351s	it breathes life into the world as well
3352s	so I think set items are have have
3354s	really good things about them and um
3357s	what we need to do is uh exploit those
3360s	changes is or changes those strengths
3362s	and and really o LP version and and look
3365s	into what makes them
3368s	great
3373s	shine trying not to
3384s	die
3390s	nailed
3403s	it more questions Mike yeah okay I'm on
3406s	it
3408s	uh uh is Shadow dagger under the Nerf
3410s	Hammer I think it got a touch but not
3413s	like oh my God WTF
3416s	nice t-shirt how can I get one uh thank
3418s	you and um hopefully
3422s	soon oh my gosh I've hit the wall
3426s	again okay you know what I'm going to do
3429s	I'm just going to go to
3431s	live oh my
3436s	god oh I'm still
3440s	scrolling oh no I never would have made
3442s	it through
3444s	this oh I'm so sorry
3450s	everyone oh
3453s	no okay it is obvious that I need to
3456s	change the format of how I answer these
3458s	questions because this is completely
3459s	unsustainable for me hi J just saw your
3463s	question
3465s	there oh my
3472s	God uh new items uh sets shown yester
3475s	yesterday are they base items yes sets
3478s	in that in that context is um a a
3482s	visually cohesive set not a set as in
3485s	green item type set um those item bases
3488s	are you new base new new white items
3492s	that can have various properties
3493s	associated with
3497s	them I think some of them might not some
3500s	of them might actually be replacement
3501s	models for existing ones as well cuz
3503s	there was a few that we had that were
3504s	just like colored skins of other ones um
3506s	so I there's a couple that that take
3508s	places with those
3514s	two are the plans for expansions if you
3517s	may monetized we don't plan on having
3518s	any content that's only available
3520s	because you paid more money um so we do
3523s	plan on adding lots of new content to
3525s	the game in the future um we're doing
3527s	this more in the style of what Poe does
3529s	for example where there is this cyclical
3531s	content release that everyone gains
3533s	access to simultaneously without having
3535s	to buy new expansion pack um we are
3538s	doing uh cosmetic supporter pack bundles
3543s	that will
3545s	um that's how we're finding the game is
3547s	through
3549s	cosmetics and and the S
3556s	price nuzzle to
3559s	death that's cool that's
3562s	cool I love the visual rework on these
3564s	guys the head upside
3566s	down like like look at
3571s	that like what what what in the H that
3575s	is Unholy is
3581s	that how dead is m alus l i don't think
3584s	it's
3586s	dead
3592s	uh uh when uh when PVP will will be
3595s	added we don't have a uh a set time for
3598s	PVP to be added it's it's one of those
3600s	things where like uh one day it' be
3602s	sweet to add um but it's it's it's a
3605s	ways down the road I'd love to do PVP
3607s	modes soon I I'd love to I don't think
3610s	it's going to happen anytime
3612s	soon um I remember very early on in
3616s	multiplayer testing um one of the first
3619s	uh larger scale multipl tests we did as
3620s	a team was uh the entire scene the
3623s	entire level was a large large green
3625s	plane um it had probably some grass
3628s	texture on it or something I don't know
3629s	but it was it was just a big green plane
3631s	that was about the size
3634s	of it was it was it was it was big um
3638s	everyone had the ability Fireball
3641s	everyone died in one
3642s	hit um and you just respawned back in
3644s	the bottom corner as soon as you died
3646s	and it was this like and and like we
3648s	didn't have the concept of like good or
3651s	bad or like Ally or enemy and so it's
3653s	just like everyone can hit every one uh
3656s	one hit kills and it was it turned into
3659s	it was meant to just be a like like
3662s	let's run around and have some fun and
3663s	see see how this works is there like lag
3665s	is it is bad all that sort of stuff and
3668s	um collect some data and it quickly
3670s	turned into this like
3674s	um pseudo like Golden Gun one shot mode
3679s	that was a ton of
3682s	fun so yeah i' I'd love to see
3684s	multiplayer um we don't have any set
3685s	time on it or anything like that it's
3686s	not it's not something we're actively in
3689s	development for right now
3699s	yet you know sorts of cool uniques
3705s	today this this just an endless wave
3707s	this just an endless
3713s	wave
3718s	all right more questions I'm just
3720s	picking random questions out right now
3721s	I'm just like scroll here's one I see
3724s	um I don't have a question I just wanted
3726s	to panic you with the Ping thanks buddy
3728s	appreciate
3730s	it I guess you experience a small
3733s	glimpse of what will happen on Wednesday
3734s	right now
3736s	yeah uh hey Mike what has been your
3739s	favorite games and major influences to
3741s	get you to your passion into your
3742s	passion for last Epoch wow that's a deep
3745s	question
3748s	um like personally growing up the games
3751s	that had the biggest impact for me were
3753s	the the Zelda series and the
3755s	civilization series I think were the two
3757s	biggest ones for me
3760s	um things that like helped me um I I
3765s	mean I I I don't know why I left it out
3767s	but Diablo I is probably actually top of
3769s	that list on its own but those two
3771s	series were really
3773s	big um
3778s	uh that and Magic the Gathering I think
3780s	as well had a pretty big impact on it I
3783s	I know Jud at one point said that the uh
3785s	a like a fan set I made for Magic the
3787s	Gathering of Game of Thrones themed
3790s	cards was was why he brought me on in
3792s	the first
3793s	place nothing to do with with with
3796s	experiencing RPGs or being able to code
3798s	or anything like that which didn't hurt
3800s	but
3802s	yeah that was the Tipping Point
3807s	I'll be happy to answer that question in
3808s	more detail another
3810s	time uh do you train oil wax your beard
3814s	mine completely ignores all additives
3816s	what about yours um I use um shampoo on
3823s	it and a a beard comb ni little wooden
3827s	beard
3831s	comb uh any changes to clever solution
3835s	sorry if this was already asked I don't
3836s	know I don't I I I don't know if there's
3839s	I I I I don't have the change lock off
3841s	the top of my head I'm sorry
3845s	maybe uh love the game thank you and
3848s	can't wait to see what's in store for
3850s	the future of the game hope you all nail
3851s	to launch thanks me
3856s	too uh will monster pushing be solved in
3858s	one play now
3863s	yep
3865s	uh what downfalls and penalties are
3866s	Incorporated with the hardcore character
3868s	death going to
3871s	softcore I mean you lose access to all
3874s	your stuff where your other characters
3876s	are
3879s	playing like drop out of you lose like
3881s	all your stash all your crafting
3883s	materials that were there it goes all
3884s	you all you drun your character flips to
3893s	softcore
3895s	is there going to be a drop rate Nerf
3897s	yes there will be a baseline drop rate
3898s	Nerf um this is uh this this is not this
3903s	is not news this by the way just to be
3904s	clear um so if you've been paying
3906s	attention to the game this is not
3907s	another one on top one we announced
3909s	months ago
3911s	um actually over a year ago now
3914s	technically
3916s	um as we add item factions to the game
3920s	um they're going to very significantly
3923s	augment the rate at which you find new
3926s	items um new items for your build
3928s	specifically like so the rate that
3930s	you're saying like here's an upgrade
3931s	here's an upgrade here's an upgrade that
3932s	goes up pretty hard with item factions
3935s	in general um and so in order to make
3938s	that KN go completely Bonkers out of
3941s	control um we
3943s	are uh we are dropping the
3947s	base item drop rate a little bit it's
3950s	not a huge
3953s	change uh um but it's there and you'll
3956s	be with with the item faction system
3958s	you'll be very quickly like once once
3961s	you're into the item factions just a
3963s	just a few ranks you'll be you'll be
3965s	getting upgrades faster than you were
3966s	before anyways um once you're deep into
3968s	the ad infaction system you'll be
3969s	getting upgrades significantly faster
3971s	than you were before so like it's it's
3973s	it's an overall net increase um but it
3977s	is a base
3981s	Nerf any plans for battle pass no any
3985s	idea when support for steam deck will be
3986s	looked into is it's hard to play on
3988s	there um I don't know when
3991s	um uh just other Platforms in general is
3994s	something that we're going to start
3995s	looking into once we're um once once
3997s	like you know with we're past 1.0 uh
4001s	things are solid we're happy with how
4002s	things are going um our pipeline's
4005s	working great you know then then we'll
4007s	start looking at hey do we want to
4008s	incorporate new platforms okay um which
4011s	platforms do you want to incorporate you
4013s	know there's there's lots of things that
4013s	are going going to go go into that how
4015s	difficult is it what's the risk um how
4017s	much more testing is required does
4018s	anyone have the hardware already what's
4019s	the cost associated with that do we need
4021s	a license in order to do it um is there
4023s	another company we need to work with to
4024s	make it happen um are there different
4026s	control schemes that need to be added
4028s	for it you know there's there's a lot of
4029s	little things I'm I am like scratching
4032s	the surface someone needs to be done
4035s	um so it's it's it's going to be a while
4038s	before um too many more platforms are
4040s	added I think platforms that are um have
4044s	a lower barrier to entry like say
4046s	platforms that maybe already that use
4048s	the operating system we already have a
4049s	version for and use the control scheme
4051s	that we already have a control scheme
4052s	for like steam deck might be a little
4055s	easier to incorporate um I'm being kg
4058s	but because I don't know when it's going
4059s	to
4061s	happen I do know that there are general
4063s	just Linux improvements and general
4064s	controller improvements for this patch
4066s	and I would suspect the quality of the
4069s	current steam deck uh playl will go up
4074s	up at 1.0 um but we haven't tested it
4077s	it's not something we we check for um
4079s	for all we know it completely bricks it
4081s	but I I I assume it's going to get
4099s	better this enem is great it's like so
4102s	it's this thing with this in its in its
4103s	mouth and then when you kill that thing
4104s	comes out love
4107s	it
4108s	uh you guys planning on adding
4110s	socketable items for example Jewels gems
4114s	rewards this this is another long one um
4117s	I I think it's a really great way to add
4123s	um this like Progressive gearing content
4126s	to the game um like run I love runs I
4129s	love I love what runs did for diabl 2 I
4131s	love the the way it was implemented all
4133s	these things just fantastic there's
4135s	there's some improvements I would likely
4137s	try to make and I think they've tried to
4138s	make some of those improvements um with
4140s	recent updates to D are but um overall
4144s	the system is
4145s	brilliant and uh that style is something
4149s	we do try to evoke specifically with our
4151s	legendary system already and sockets in
4153s	general is something that we kind of
4155s	already do with our just um with these
4158s	like or these with our with our random
4160s	shards like that's basically a craftting
4162s	our socket system right um
4164s	and so we we do have plans for a more
4167s	specific and clear and like analogous
4169s	socket system but it's it's not
4171s	something that we're uh anywhere near
4173s	ready to do or anything like that so
4176s	like who knows what'll change in the
4177s	time between now when we start looking
4179s	into doing something like that I I think
4180s	there's room for expansion there that
4182s	we'll be um they'll be really happy we
4185s	don't have a specific socket system
4186s	until we get to wanting to add a
4188s	specific socket system as a full like a
4191s	full mechanic on its own
4198s	a memory
4201s	key
4209s	nice uh are there plans for pets to be
4211s	anything more than a cosmetic companion
4213s	no uh just bought the game is it
4215s	possible to play with friends yes if one
4217s	of us has a way higher level yeah or is
4219s	it basically doing a taxi at this point
4221s	I mean yeah if if if one person's way
4223s	higher level um you know the the person
4225s	who's in if like someone's coming down
4228s	to to meet a lower level player they're
4229s	going to be just crushing everything and
4231s	getting basically nothing from it and if
4232s	a lowle player goes up to beet a high
4234s	level player you're going to be
4235s	struggling and having a tough time
4236s	surviving
4238s	um and your experience is like the XP
4241s	gain rate is uh is is nerfed a bit for
4245s	being actually pretty heavily if you're
4246s	really far out of out of level range
4252s	um um but you still you still gain
4256s	experience as though you were like worst
4258s	case in an appropriately leveled
4264s	Zone it's never going to be worse than
4267s	just being an appropriately level
4272s	Zone hello I wonder if you guys have
4274s	plans for making map and storyline more
4276s	clear to navigate especially for
4277s	newcomers yes bunch of changes there uh
4280s	how fun SL hype has the office been
4283s	these past couple months we don't have
4284s	have an office uh I can only imagine
4286s	watching you work reach this point I
4287s	mean yeah so the we're we're completely
4289s	remote team um
4292s	there's maybe two or three pockets of
4294s	people who live in the same
4296s	city um but for the most part we are
4299s	just all over the
4301s	place this is a room I built in my
4309s	garage so that I could do
4313s	this
4320s	all you planning on Ender Ling
4322s	characters this is goes back to
4323s	character customization it's something
4324s	that we hope to do long-term plans um
4327s	but we don't have any specific
4328s	short-term plans for um we'll let you
4340s	know my
4342s	goodness scrolling scrolling again doing
4345s	the time War just jump to the
4352s	left all right uh and that was an Easter
4355s	egg for anyone who's old and crazy and
4357s	weird
4359s	um is there any plans to update
4361s	character models proportions look very
4362s	odd currently almost Dwarven
4365s	style uh yeah there are some updated uh
4369s	crit there are some updated models um
4372s	you can see uh a sneak peek what they
4374s	look like in the uh main
4378s	trailer um it's got a little bit a
4381s	closer look there's like a a bit where
4383s	they're like they're all like superhero
4384s	pose landing and like so there's like
4389s	you get a close-up view of what the new
4390s	ones look like it's not huge overhauls
4392s	but there's some
4396s	adjustments are you ready to react to
4398s	duping issues during launch well I mean
4400s	we put
4402s	out uh I
4406s	I if one
4409s	appears um yes we've got everyone's like
4412s	that that would be that would be code
4414s	red condition
4416s	Alpha Defcon one or five whichever one's
4424s	worse never I can never
4432s	remember uh uh that's incredible what a
4435s	great game you created thank
4438s	you sorry I don't know what that was
4440s	referen to uh void CLE has a few bugs oh
4443s	that's terrible uh we're working on
4448s	them uh I don't have any details on
4450s	specific fixes for specific skills
4452s	available in front of me I'm sorry uh
4454s	any new uniques coming for other classes
4456s	except Warlock and Falconer oh yes um
4459s	there are class agnostic uniques coming
4462s	there are class specific uniqu coming
4464s	there are class themed but not specific
4467s	uniques coming there are um
4475s	yeah uh what's your favorite
4477s	Mastery uh my favorite Mastery right now
4480s	uh that exists in the game is Marksman
4482s	but Falconer is going to take its place
4483s	I think as soon as uh 1.0 comes up well
4486s	let's we we'll see
4489s	though uh wifey action
4492s	RPG absolutely
4496s	thank you very much I feel validated
4498s	inan
4500s	um uh can you clarify if AIX is like
4503s	Mana gained when you use Harvest only
4506s	proed by hard casting it should only
4508s	proc by hard casting I'd have to look it
4510s	up I'm
4520s	sorry also are you hiring designers um I
4523s	mean I think so actually I think we're
4525s	or I think there's a developer posting I
4527s	know all of the hiring is on pause until
4529s	after 1.0 um I don't know when it's
4531s	going to open up again but um if anyone
4534s	here has applied for position I I it is
4536s	if you haven't heard something specific
4538s	back yet or um or someone's like just
4540s	wait type thing uh it's will'll start
4543s	looking at those sorts of things
4544s	sometime after 1.0 but for now it's it's
4548s	everyone we don't have time to do
4549s	onboarding when we're uh this close to
4552s	Launch
4557s	um but yes I like there there's there's
4560s	a career page on our website um I know
4562s	there's postings up go check it out if
4564s	one of them speaks to you apply for it
4567s	if one of them doesn't speak to you and
4568s	you think you'd be awesome fit for the
4569s	team apply anyways and just say what you
4571s	think you'd be good at
4574s	um but you know maybe give it a little
4576s	bit after
4577s	lunch would be my
4579s	advice just cuz right now is a bad time
4587s	all right will there be an in-depth
4588s	patch notes before start if yes Anya yes
4591s	um the 19th two days before patch will
4593s	be
4596s	patch and the day before patch the 20th
4599s	um well for 24 hours before patch uh
4602s	everything will be down all the servers
4603s	will be down login servers will be down
4605s	everything will be down
4612s	um
4617s	I got other cool stuff oh yeah there's
4618s	if anyone didn't see today we unveiled
4621s	uh collaboration with David Harbor uh
4623s	who uh designed a unique for the game um
4627s	it's awesome I don't I feel like we must
4629s	we must do we show off the actual
4636s	item okay we did not say I hope we even
4638s	said it was an item
4641s	whoops must have said it was an item oh
4643s	that was a big
4648s	one that was that was a sweet
4650s	setup
4654s	um where are we
4656s	next hi hello if we start season
4659s	hardcore and we die do we stay the
4661s	season or do we get sent to the void
4662s	like the other game you get uh stay
4667s	season dying in hardcore takes you to
4669s	softcore everything else stays the
4672s	same
4675s	what character am I playing I'm playing
4675s	a run Master this is this was a uh go
4679s	through this really fast you could pause
4680s	it uh and see what all the nodes are and
4683s	everything this is a contest winner that
4685s	we did a while
4686s	ago uh for run Master specifically I
4689s	think I think this was the required
4693s	item the
4696s	builds there was some there was some
4698s	limitation they were all Rune Masters
4699s	that came in so it was definitely a rune
4701s	Master build I can't remember what the
4702s	specific requirements were other than
4703s	that but I love this item and this this
4707s	so I got the character given to me um to
4709s	play on stream and I think it had a l
4713s	had this Ladle with 2 LP on it in the
4715s	inventory and it had a one LP Ladle that
4717s	it had equipped um and so I made this
4719s	one I think this is the item I
4723s	made was some item that I
4728s	made maybe in the boots maybe in the
4730s	exact same story I just said about boots
4732s	instead sorry sorry I don't remember
4734s	which
4742s	one
4744s	uh I'm going to scroll down
4747s	again my goodness my goodness
4762s	nool
4764s	that's how you
4776s	panic uh do you plan to add challenges
4779s	every cycle like in Poe with some ntx
4782s	rewards for some people to uh get each
4784s	goal uh people it's a great goal each
4787s	league um I I we we don't have anything
4789s	like that set up yet I think that that's
4791s	a really awesome way to do it and and um
4794s	I wouldn't be surprised if we started
4796s	looking into things along that line
4799s	um but we don't have anything like that
4801s	specifically planned
4822s	yet
4825s	this is the problem is sometimes I just
4826s	start playing the game and I forget that
4827s	I'm streaming uh so let me answer some
4830s	questions uh will the game be releasing
4833s	with some season type content or is that
4835s	uh come further after so there's no
4837s	cycle we're call them Cycles there's no
4838s	cycle specific locked content at
4845s	1.0 uh yeah let's go fight a shade it'll
4847s	be fun won't it um it's the sort of
4850s	thing that we'll consider as we go
4851s	forward but the cycle specific content
4854s	the new content dropping as the cycle
4856s	starts will be Legacy as
4864s	well armor shed feels kind of meh right
4866s	now requiring 100 Stacks to get full
4867s	effect thoughts um I think
4872s	that um it very int because because it
4875s	affects all types of hits um it's the
4878s	sort of thing that especially once
4879s	you're in multiplayer it um it affect it
4882s	it's it's really beneficial for multiple
4884s	people to have that shred um and is
4886s	really useful as a enemy debuff mechanic
4890s	that is party
4891s	synergistic um that can work in
4894s	multiplayer well and have it so that
4895s	multiple people can say like okay well
4897s	I've got armor sh for my build and then
4898s	I hop into a party and that armor shred
4900s	is still useful in that party um whereas
4902s	sometimes if you have two people that
4903s	are like really heavy Fire Res shred and
4905s	they pop into a party together yes
4906s	they're helping each other by by
4907s	shredding That Fire Res a lot um but
4909s	you're hitting caps so fast between the
4912s	two of you that that you're some
4913s	sometimes wasting stats
4915s	um and so armor I think plays a nice
4918s	role in that it's still you can still
4920s	get significant use out of it in single
4921s	player and multiplayer um without
4923s	worrying about customizing your build
4925s	too much so I think it plays a nice role
4935s	there for anyone who doesn't know
4937s	Avalanche and these rhyme Giants are my
4942s	kryptonite it's fuzzy little
4949s	snowballs uh any plans for Unique Buffs
4952s	so we can make Shield bash and shield
4954s	throw uh main main damage skills class
4958s	fantasy will be amazing good luck with
4959s	the launch I mean I I don't know of
4961s	anything specific that I can share right
4962s	now but um you know we're always trying
4964s	to make more archetypes
4972s	fun
4974s	any support to show uh tool tip DPS for
4977s	minions there's no tool tip DPS for
4979s	minions in 1.0
4982s	sorry uh my question is for the spear
4984s	weapon type will there be any added
4987s	attention for the weapon type uh there's
4990s	at least one new spear specific node
4993s	that I know of for
4994s	certain spoiled so nothing new
4997s	really there could be
5001s	more
5005s	uh unique leak did I hear unique leak no
5008s	you didn't I'm sorry apart from you just
5013s	saying
5015s	uh any plans for selecting all that I I
5019s	think it would be cool if upon
5020s	completion of a set bonus those items
5023s	became linked together and the bonus
5024s	gains a random amount of Weaver's will
5027s	any chance something like this being
5028s	done
5030s	um I think
5035s	my gut reaction is uh no
5041s	um I don't I don't want to give a hard
5043s	answer either way but um if if that was
5046s	pitched in a design meeting I would
5048s	rally against it
5059s	sorry I think the big problem with it is
5061s	it makes your gear too
5063s	static um and one of the one of the most
5066s	fun events in uh for a late game
5070s	character in an arpg is is finding an
5072s	upgrade piece to your gear um so I think
5075s	you'd end up in situations where you'd
5076s	be like hoarding individual really
5079s	powerful pieces of set items in order to
5082s	like not waste them until you had a full
5084s	set of really powerful set versions of
5085s	those items and so you'd end up finding
5087s	yourself playing um with
5090s	suboptimal subsets of gear until you
5093s	were able to uh like complete the set
5096s	with like really powerful ones so you'd
5097s	have like your weak set and your
5098s	powerful set and you you'd like You'
5101s	play with your weak Set uh in order to
5104s	like find all the pieces you're powerful
5105s	on but you wouldn't actually put any of
5106s	that on until you could like complete
5108s	the powerful
5110s	version um which I think I I I think is
5114s	a little bit
5115s	problematic um with with the way set
5118s	items work
5121s	specifically
5127s	but I like the idea in in like
5144s	theory is SL will it be possible for my
5147s	skins to be visible even if I am in
5149s	transformed form for example I play
5151s	spring and Shaman I like to see my trans
5153s	bog skins uh instead of spring and form
5156s	uh we don't have anything for that right
5157s	now um it's not the first time I've seen
5159s	this
5160s	request but um I don't think there's
5163s	anything specific planned for that right
5168s	now I just want to commend you on the
5170s	team for the tremendous effort awesome
5173s	job your guys rock thank
5178s	youate it has this this has been one of
5181s	the hardest things I've ever done of my
5184s	life and like I am one small piece of
5188s	this
5189s	team
5191s	like the amount of effort and awesome
5194s	stuff that people pump out on a daily
5196s	basis is just
5199s	incredible big shout out to everyone
5201s	else on the team
5211s	too
5213s	uh what's your guessing on Faction picks
5218s	talking about uh percentile of players
5221s	choosing one okay like uh what what do I
5223s	think the split's going to be between
5224s	circle of Fortune and U Merchant skill I
5227s	think that there's going to
5231s	be preface this with this is based off
5234s	just like what I've seen on like Forum
5237s	threads and people just chatting in the
5240s	community um and what I know about the
5243s	factions themselves this is not based on
5244s	any sort of internal statistics
5246s	Gathering thing that's like accurate or
5249s	anything like that I haven't seen any
5250s	information like that so just want to be
5251s	clear this is this is this is a mic
5253s	prediction not an EHD prediction I think
5256s	that um circle of Fortune is going to
5259s	start out as the um significant front
5265s	runner
5266s	um and I think people
5270s	are um going to I I think it's going to
5273s	balance itself out a little bit I think
5274s	people are going to
5276s	um slightly migrate towards Merchant
5279s	skill from Circle Fortune a little bit
5282s	uh and it's going to it's going to end
5283s	up at about like 65 35 Merchant skild
5288s	Circle of Fortune I think I think
5290s	Merchant ski is going to be 65% of the
5291s	player base
5299s	um but yeah I think that it's going to
5301s	start out the other way I think it's
5302s	going to start up 6530 for Circle
5304s	fortune and I think it's going to flip
5310s	basically we'll see I could be wildly
5318s	wrong I'm definitely getting I'm getting
5320s	a 1.0 haircut though that's going to
5322s	happen I was going to actually do it
5324s	today before stream but I was working on
5326s	a bug so I'll do it this weekend maybe
5329s	wait till
5331s	Monday oh yeah we've got on
5334s	Monday
5337s	um yeah on Monday I'm doing the tavern
5341s	Talk

5384s	right
5391s	there
5401s	bad

5409s	while I'm doing
5415s	this let's just scroll let's just scroll
5418s	uh plans to give some love to EU West
5421s	server oh my goodness did he heal all
5423s	the way to
5424s	full
5432s	what oh my
5434s	goodness
5438s	um this what this what I get for looking
5440s	the chat
5446s	right uh was I asking it was a question
5449s	I was answering wasn't
5451s	there oh yeah eers I don't I don't have
5453s	any details on specific um upcoming
5455s	changes to servers and locations and
5457s	things like that I do know that we do
5459s	attempt to you know get get a good
5461s	coverage on on different regions and
5463s	things like that
5467s	um if I'm not mistaken the
5473s	like the central one is pretty far west
5475s	or the West one is pretty far east or
5481s	something
5493s	it wasn't
5511s	ready
5514s	papus says she's breaking the cycle are
5516s	you concerned about this yeah she's got
5518s	a sweet build prepped that I think is
5520s	going to just like break the cycle wide
5527s	open uh hey Mike when should we expect a
5530s	full skill tree for the new Prim less
5531s	skills uh I don't know if we're doing a
5534s	preview of those or
5537s	not
5541s	lizard
5543s	got
5555s	him uh just for the record the ability I
5558s	was
5561s	casting three those
5565s	is
5568s	um oh yeah full full skill tree I I
5571s	don't know if we have plans that to
5572s	actually release one um for the game
5575s	launches maybe be patch
5578s	notes I'll ask about
5584s	that uh do you think a free do you think
5588s	a two free market can hurt the game
5591s	resale possibility oh like like if if we
5594s	opened up the uh Merchant Guild to allow
5598s	reselling do I think that would hurt the
5599s	game
5601s	yes
5612s	time to Nerf the boss I think it's time
5614s	for me to get
5617s	good uh who's better Aaron from action
5619s	RPG or his wife speak up so he hears it
5623s	this it's
5626s	me
5628s	um I mean of the two only only one of
5632s	them's ever bought me tea and moles skin
5636s	for my
5637s	feet
5638s	and you know I I think I think the
5640s	answer is pretty clear here I'm sorry
5642s	Aaron but your wife
5646s	wins oh is
5653s	that I I just understood the question
5660s	hi all
5663s	right what's that big cross Idol thing
5666s	overlay in your game
5672s	what what's that big cross idle thing oh
5675s	my
5676s	goodness I forgot that was still
5679s	up uh okay that
5682s	is um art for uh this that's something I
5687s	spoiled last stream and forgot to take
5688s	it down this is uh this is art that I
5691s	teased for for uh a new item in the game
5693s	coming
5700s	1.0 this is how oblivious I
5704s	am let's
5714s	uh switch to the Belt this the other one
5716s	I spoiled last week also Singularity
5720s	hello
5723s	that it wasn't didn't quite I think I
5726s	think the problem with Singularity was
5728s	that it didn't have enough
5731s	else I think the item actually is really
5733s	good um and it does what it's supposed
5736s	to do really well however there's just
5738s	not enough other pieces to the puzzle to
5740s	finish the puzzle it's a part of so it's
5742s	like you start you sit down do a puzzle
5744s	and just there's just pieces
5746s	missing there's anything wrong with that
5748s	piece ah maybe a touch but you know it's
5751s	it's not like the pieces missing
5766s	a all right next
5769s	question uh what do you think the most
5771s	popular Mastery on release I think that
5775s	um I think warlock is going to start out
5778s	being the most popular and I think
5779s	Falconer is going to be a close second
5785s	there's a poll I saw recently and I was
5786s	like shocked the prime list was like the
5788s	lowest on of it was just Base Class
5790s	poles prob the
5793s	lowest um I'm like it was the day
5796s	after the the the new reveals for
5798s	tempest strike and Gathering storm that
5801s	I saw it I I think the poll may have
5803s	happened before those got released cuz
5805s	I'm like come
5806s	on
5810s	nothing
5813s	uh the plant additional classes and
5815s	masteries in the future oh yeah so
5818s	um we've we've got our we've got our
5820s	class wheel up and running um all 15
5824s	classes it's it's great every base class
5826s	five base classes three masteries per
5828s	Base Class um perfect I
5832s	think there are there are definitely how
5835s	do I say this there's there's
5836s	intentional gaps in the class system
5838s	right now to leave room for clean new
5842s	masteries to show up um and there's also
5846s	intentional room in the base classes for
5848s	new base classes to show up those ones
5851s	are a little bit more out there um
5853s	little little bit
5855s	less uh
5857s	urgent I think I think we'll see some
5860s	it's also a lot easier and cheaper for
5861s	us to put in a new Mastery than it is
5862s	for whole Bas class because new Mastery
5864s	doesn't include uh new character model
5866s	new voice acting um you know like there
5869s	there's a lot of things that a new Base
5871s	Class adds on and then also new base
5872s	class it needs to have at least three
5874s	masteries that's sort of our our rule
5875s	going forward I think is going to be new
5877s	new base class three
5879s	masteries but we can add a fourth
5881s	Mastery on uh to existing classes um way
5885s	way way easier so I think you'll see
5887s	fourth masteries start cropping up
5889s	before you see new base glasses crop up
5890s	this is still far future stuff like we
5893s	there's I we've we've got a few plans
5896s	for like some new masteries that we've
5900s	got our eye on but we don't have have a
5901s	hard decision on specifically what's
5903s	going to be
5906s	next oh light this ever key
5911s	cool hey mate any plans for changing to
5915s	controller support changes to controller
5917s	support at all yes there will be
5918s	controller support
5919s	updates uh looking forward to Wednesday
5921s	me too what's the highest corruption
5923s	I've done personally uh not that
5927s	high I always get
5930s	like uh kind of distracted and hop onto
5933s	a new
5934s	build and I spend way too much time
5936s	playing in like test client
5939s	environments
5941s	um so probably just a few hundred I
5944s	don't
5950s	remember we'll say in the 3 to 500
5960s	range
5962s	uh with all the new Final skills
5964s	masteries and gear coming with launch
5966s	what's the most exciting new skill
5968s	reveal so far for
5971s	you Falconer has been at the Forefront
5974s	for me for sure
5977s	um I think chaos bolts is my favorite
5979s	one that we revealed I think there's
5982s	something about the way that skill like
5984s	I like when I when I make my warlock at
5986s	1.0 it will absolutely be using kale
5989s	bolts as part of that skill I don't know
5990s	what it is about about it but it just
5992s	feels great to me I love it I can't put
5995s	my finger on
6006s	it hey Mike
6008s	hello uh love looking at what the game
6012s	offers feel creating endgame group
6014s	activities will be in the near future um
6018s	I think that we we we like to to try and
6021s	keep the end game at least doable as a
6024s	solo player um so we don't look too much
6027s	to group specific activities in the end
6030s	game
6032s	um I think there's room for them um or
6035s	like group leaning activities and things
6037s	like that um I'd really like to start
6041s	it's not something we do yet but
6042s	something that I'd really like
6045s	to uh oh we we we kind of do it a little
6047s	bit with difficulty scaling but with I'd
6048s	like to do it with player scaling where
6051s	like boss mechanics change slightly
6052s	based on the number of players that are
6054s	there
6065s	um like maybe there's
6069s	um maybe there's some boss fight where
6071s	ADS spawn and um depend on how many ads
6075s	you kill certain something happens or
6076s	something I don't know and uh in like
6079s	three player twice as many ads spawn um
6083s	you know so there's
6085s	like mechanical scaling for for player
6088s	counts i' I'd love to see something like
6091s	that it's going to be my goal for the
6093s	next couple years to get somethingone
6094s	like that
6098s	in will there be a Q on release
6102s	yes will there be new Weavers will items
6104s	1.0 or plan maybe new Weaver's boss at
6106s	some point um I don't know if there's
6108s	any new Weaver SP items coming at 1.0 I
6111s	don't think there
6115s	are be wrong with
6123s	that I don't know sorry I'm I'm trying
6126s	to think of them I like is that that
6128s	one's one no it's not uh I I don't know
6132s	I can't think of
6133s	any
6135s	um but that is I I would say the
6139s	whole uh uh scratching the surface a
6142s	little
6143s	bit put that
6146s	way uh how will low life War how will
6150s	low
6151s	life will low life Ward builds be
6154s	getting Nerf in
6155s	1.0
6157s	um there's there's some there's some
6159s	little bit of changes here and there for
6160s	things
6162s	um I know there's good and bad things
6164s	happening for those builds so I I don't
6166s	know if it's going to be a net negative
6167s	or net positive or
6170s	not
6175s	poly math get those get those all
6178s	attributes love
6183s	them better than leaving a belt in the
6185s	middle of screen for an hour yeah it is
6186s	that happened last
6188s	time are there plans for additional
6190s	class I that yeah uh with the increasing
6195s	popularity plans to expand customer
6196s	support or in game mod yeah we've been
6200s	we we've been ramping up um you know
6204s	like trying
6205s	to sometimes it's not about ramping up
6208s	specific areas and uh sometimes it's
6210s	about offloading responsibilities in
6212s	other areas instead people who just have
6215s	multiple responsibilities can focus on
6217s	one area
6219s	um as an example we just handed off the
6223s	um moderation for the subreddit to our
6226s	community
6228s	um and like they they've been they've
6231s	been they've been hitting the ground
6231s	running it's been fantastic and I'm like
6234s	yep you're doing way more stuff than I
6236s	ever did in my spare time
6239s	randomly you know like I I'd spend 20
6242s	minutes a
6243s	day you know checking through the the
6246s	moderation Queue at night before bed and
6249s	uh I was not cutting
6259s	it I am not a many pockets ah he said
6264s	it love
6268s	it uh Mike I was wondering why you
6271s	looked so
6272s	familiar just got one of those faces as
6275s	any told you it looked just like Brian
6278s	Quinn from Impractical Jokers actually
6281s	yes um specifically on this stream
6284s	people have have said that before um and
6287s	I still don't know what he looks like
6289s	must be devastatingly handsome though
6295s	I got to get a
6296s	cut this is the longest my hair has been
6298s	in a long
6303s	time my wife just like knows that I have
6306s	no time right now and it's just like
6308s	yeah I know once it launches you'll get
6309s	a
6310s	cut going try and do it before
6318s	though that big that big Nova
6321s	boom
6322s	boom boom boom
6328s	Bill uh when you are a high level on CF
6331s	and switch to mg like you predict um
6336s	will you have will you have to take all
6338s	of your gear off that you currently have
6340s	equipped since it's tagged wouldn't that
6343s	be a huge power drop um so one of the
6346s	requirements of switching um either
6350s	direction mg or c CF like mg to cof or
6352s	cof to mg as soon as you switch factions
6353s	or right before you switch factions you
6355s	have to unequip all your gear your
6357s	character needs to be naked to switch
6358s	like that's the F First Step take off
6360s	all your gear second step switch
6362s	factions
6364s	um and uh not necessarily all of it will
6367s	be unusable um items that were found
6370s	while you are on cof that were uh not
6375s	able that that were not found through
6378s	the coff bonuses will not be actually
6381s	tagged they'll be untradeable but they
6382s	won't be coff Tagged so you can still
6384s	wear them if you switch um so you won't
6386s	be completely naked but yeah it'll be a
6388s	big Power Drop
6391s	um yeah and I'm not suggesting that
6394s	like everyone's going to get super high
6396s	level CF and then switch um I think the
6398s	switch is going to happen sooner than
6399s	people get to high level in
6404s	ZF not anything bad about coff I think
6407s	cof's just a little bit overhyped right
6409s	now and and
6412s	um that that's that's all it is I think
6415s	I think there's just like a
6415s	disproportionate amount of
6419s	um I think people are underestimating
6421s	how powerful trade can be sometimes and
6423s	I think that there's a non-
6424s	insignificant subset of players that
6426s	will pick which faction they want to be
6428s	part of based strictly on which one's
6429s	going to give them more items faster um
6433s	and I think cuf is going to be able to
6434s	compete really well in that regard and I
6436s	think for most people it's going to be
6438s	plenty fast enough by comparison but the
6441s	subset of players that is just there for
6443s	the the fastest way um I I think mg's I
6448s	think it's going to be slightly better
6450s	um is my prediction this is like this is
6452s	Mike's prediction Mike could be very
6454s	wrong Mike thinks the CF is going to be
6456s	slightly better um kind of just enough
6458s	that it'll pull those players in that
6460s	are that that don't really care about
6462s	thematically or or mechanically which
6464s	one's different in a specific way but
6465s	more just looking for uh power power me
6469s	up let's go um which which I I don't
6471s	want to suggest is a bad thing in
6476s	anyway that's that's kind of where I'm
6478s	coming from with
6484s	that and y'all can laugh at me when I'm
6486s	horribly wrong and I'm totally fine with
6489s	that not including the headline features
6492s	what smaller change implementation 1.0
6494s	are you most proud
6499s	of
6510s	it's hard because the vast majority of
6512s	what I worked on this patch was just
6513s	like Warlock and
6514s	Falconer uh so it's almost all of it's
6518s	in the headlining stuff
6529s	um
6532s	I think it's I think it's going to be in
6533s	the uh in in like just the subtle UI
6536s	changes I think that's what it is and I
6538s	think it's in the little things and this
6540s	is this is I was a very small part of
6541s	the people that did these changes there
6543s	was there was other like 99% it was done
6546s	by other people um but I think that
6549s	there's some
6552s	like surprisingly important for like the
6554s	overall feel of the game quality and
6557s	like making the game feel like it's um
6561s	like like from a season Studio that that
6563s	like you know it's it's it's not it's
6566s	not an indie title anymore feeling um
6569s	comes from those that UI polish I think
6571s	is is a is a big big place where that
6573s	happens and so just like like little
6575s	little tiny adjustments and tweaks all
6577s	over the place um to to to the feel of
6580s	the UI I think it's probably the thing
6582s	that's not a headlining feature that I'm
6583s	most proud of that we've
6589s	added
6595s	it's like we we don't technically have a
6597s	publisher company that's that's handling
6599s	the publishing the game so like there's
6600s	no publishing parent company um that's
6604s	like running the studio like we like
6606s	there's various people that own portions
6608s	of the company and all sort of stuff but
6610s	like everything that's everything that
6613s	comes out of the title is is just like
6615s	it's just ehg it's just us
6618s	and um I I think the 1.0 it's the first
6621s	time that we've launched a product that
6623s	like you know this this feels like a
6626s	finished game this feels like a finished
6628s	cohesive product of a game
6631s	um yeah I think I think the the little
6634s	the little UI changes that um you know
6639s	if if
6640s	someone maybe hasn't played for a long
6642s	time wouldn't even notice that
6645s	are like that big of
6647s	a like like we'll notice changes but
6649s	like won't know that they're brand
6664s	new okay I have stopped answering
6667s	questions and that's a problem and I'm
6668s	going to try and fix
6679s	it
6681s	let's scroll let's get a question let's
6683s	get to
6685s	talking Aros
6689s	love leave him uh you can add any unique
6693s	to the game and the team promises not to
6696s	block it from being op what do you go
6701s	with I don't
6704s	know
6705s	um I am not a man of many pockets ah he
6710s	said
6711s	um I think I think we go
6717s	with I don't know I think we go
6720s	something silly something that like
6721s	shouldn't
6731s	work no I got it I know exactly what it
6733s	is um we go with a bow we go with a bow
6738s	that any class can equip
6741s	um that gives you the
6743s	ability it gives you a it gives you a
6746s	minion it gives you a like a minion and
6748s	a bow
6749s	attack gives you like uh a boar a boar
6754s	pet and uh and a bow attack to use of
6764s	it so we so we can have so we can have
6767s	the hunters in the game so you can go to
6770s	to your Prime list and equip
6773s	it or you can go to your Marksman and
6776s	equip it and you can have you can you
6777s	can you can do a hunter in on either
6780s	class that's what I would
6787s	do there's no plans to add that by the
6789s	way just to be
6796s	clear uh will you shave your beard if
6798s	you hit a number of copies sold
6801s	I look so terrible without a
6804s	beard um I don't I don't want to fix
6807s	something if it's too I I I would
6809s	consider it if there's like a kind of
6812s	ridiculous seeming
6815s	number
6818s	like the servers survive and we break
6821s	the top 10 of concurrent player base on
6823s	Steam of all time you know like
6825s	something something stupid like
6829s	that
6847s	all right uh what do you think about
6850s	implementation of a currency that allows
6853s	you to retag an item I think it
6855s	completely breaks our uh system and we
6858s	can't do it without other major
6862s	changes or uh or or or or letting go of
6866s	specific requirements we've established
6868s	for our
6874s	system what's it like being
6878s	famous am I becoming famous that' be
6887s	cool give me those keys
6891s	I am not a man of many poets yeah that
6903s	line I think people who are who are
6906s	legitimately famous are under so much
6909s	pressure cuz they have this like added
6911s	layer of
6913s	responsibility on their um on the things
6916s	they say and the things they do how it
6918s	can affect other people in the world and
6919s	it's
6920s	that that would scare me a little bit oh
6923s	bees bees yes come to me my
6942s	pries and and nuts and and I wouldn't be
6944s	worried about it so much of like
6946s	intentionally doing something something
6948s	bad but like I just know i' stick my
6949s	foot in my mouth and say something like
6952s	I I I'd say something that I think is so
6954s	normal and so
6957s	whatever some be like Mike you're an
6959s	idiot uh that's highly offensive I'd be
6961s	like well that was uh nice to know you
6964s	guys see you
6973s	around all right is there any way to
6975s	make mini map background darker via
6977s	config file are there means no coming
6979s	from p and I love playing with the map
6981s	over my screen but on Sand textured
6982s	background it's impossible to see we do
6984s	have some um some some some edits to
6988s	that there there is and I'm sure you you
6989s	know this already but
6991s	like you can change the opacity here um
6994s	but even this is like not enough on a
6997s	lot
6998s	of a lot of zones and we are working on
7000s	improving this so there's there's some
7002s	there's some updates so should help a
7003s	little
7008s	bit a big scroll again I'm I'm burning
7011s	past so many questions and I feel
7012s	terrible about it I'm so
7014s	sorry if I if if I we're coming up to
7017s	the we're coming up to the end of the
7018s	stream here we're getting close to the
7019s	end um and of the seemingly hundreds of
7023s	questions that I've missed um I
7025s	apologize and I do I do my best to
7028s	answer as many questions as possible
7030s	along with other members of the team and
7031s	community in our Discord Channel there's
7033s	ask the de's channel um please feel free
7036s	to come ask questions there I do have
7038s	one request with that um there is an FAQ
7041s	on our Discord that
7043s	answers 95% of the questions that get
7045s	asked in that channel um there's also a
7047s	search term there's also a search field
7049s	in the top right corner that you can put
7051s	you can search specifically in that
7052s	Channel or specifically from me Mike um
7056s	you'll find a lot of answers there and I
7058s	think um if you can search for those
7061s	terms first I'd really appreciate that
7063s	it saves me a lot of
7067s	time um yeah I've I got I got I got cool
7071s	stuff I'm just going to mention really
7071s	quick at the end of the stream here as
7072s	well I'll answer a few more questions um
7076s	David Harbor we just announced a
7078s	collaboration with him that was super
7079s	fun to do
7081s	um the wife was pretty jealous getting
7083s	to be in that call uh which was sweet um
7088s	and and that's that's I think when the
7089s	full reveal of all what's coming from
7090s	that happens people are going to be
7092s	really excited about that because uh
7094s	it's it's sweet um
7098s	and uh oh yeah I is doing a giveaway big
7101s	awesome computer uh information on our
7103s	forms go sign up for that
7112s	um what else am I doing 24hour downtime
7115s	before launch so 24 hours before launch
7118s	servers will be down you will not be
7119s	able to enter the game in online or
7121s	offline mode
7125s	um uh the golden guppy supporter pack
7128s	pet is disappearing at launch so the um
7133s	not support pack pet just uh pre-order
7136s	pet so the pre-order bonus for buying
7138s	the game before launch is the golden
7139s	guppy pet um once launch happens that
7142s	goes away everything else to do with the
7144s	supporter packs uh cost what's included
7147s	in them all that stuff stays constant so
7149s	you don't need to buy a supporter pack
7150s	or anything like that right now to get
7152s	any of the stuff you can do that
7153s	afterwards um if you've just purchased
7155s	the most basic base version of the game
7157s	at all you've got the golden guppy pet
7158s	there's nothing else to miss out on
7161s	so this information is only for people
7163s	who haven't bought the game
7169s	yet
7172s	um yeah there was a Healing Hands blog
7175s	post I don't think I mentioned that if
7177s	uh if if you are interested at all in
7179s	Healing Hands it's sweet it could be an
7181s	offensive skill too gasp um we're also
7184s	doing an AMA on Reddit um basically as
7188s	launch happens uh
7191s	um no no on Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday on
7195s	Tuesday Tuesday at 11:00 a.m. CST uh
7198s	we're
7199s	doing uh Reddit
7203s	ma yeah so that's while the servers are
7205s	down so we're taking the servers down
7206s	and doing it red Amy at the same
7210s	time um
7213s	not guarantee someone asked the question
7215s	why are the servers down in the middle
7217s	of
7218s	that uh it's gon to be on our
7221s	games uh and on Monday I am going to be
7225s	joining um gazi and DM on Tavern talk uh
7230s	and going to be doing a podcast there as
7234s	well those are the cool things that are
7236s	coming up that
7238s	I probably should have said like three
7241s	or four more times throughout the stream
7242s	but I got caught up with doing the
7246s	stream cuz
7248s	I'm I got I got something for this I got
7252s	little see
7255s	it I'm a
7265s	professional oh see there's a couple
7268s	we're over time I'm going to pick out
7269s	another couple questions here maybe
7270s	answer a couple
7272s	more any plans for first boss kill
7275s	events or first level 100 events we we
7277s	we've talked about that we can't get it
7278s	in for one .0 um but yeah that sort of
7282s	thing I I think the server announcements
7285s	for events like that in Poe is like one
7287s	of the best parts of starting a cycle in
7290s	Poe or starting starting starting a
7291s	league in Poe sorry um where you you
7294s	enter in and like you maybe may even if
7298s	you're not super awesome yourself and
7300s	you're like way behind the leaders like
7302s	seeing those little pop-ups happen it's
7304s	I I love it that's one of my favorite
7305s	Parts about doing a cycle start I've got
7308s	cycle ingrained in my brain now is the
7311s	term the poe one you know what I mean
7314s	sorry
