365s | other shows too like there's the Tokyo |
366s | game show um there a few other things |
369s | too but like |
371s | uh the whole the whole experience was |
373s | just was Bonkers it was great to meet |
374s | you Aon and and all the other the all |

379s | people who work a bunch of guys from |
381s | Maxwell were there um just random people |
383s | oh was I it was so much fun the people |
385s | were my favorite part it was cool cuz I |
388s | got to meet all of the people who were |
390s | like working on the team like working on |
392s | last def who some of people I've been |
394s | working with for years and I never met |
396s | in person before and getting to meet |
397s | them in person was it was it was really |
399s | cool |
405s | yeah what am I doing |
409s | here |
412s | um think we just want some strength and |
414s | damage |
416s | reduction right and we're going to do |
418s | Raptor |
421s | instead of wolf we going to check |
425s | our we we've got the |
428s | weapon I |
431s | believe here we are what level is it 64 |
434s | okay we got a ways to |
438s | go that's |
442s | okay we'll make do until |
448s | then we were all also joking today about |
451s | um about making |
453s | a like a tier list for the just the |
457s | visuals |
458s | of um of gear and how like how how good |
463s | gear looks of like if it's good enough |
466s | to make you want |
467s | to um play that like make a build around |
470s | the uh around the item just on how good |
472s | the 2D art looks for the armor um so |
475s | maybe we have some fun and bring that up |
477s | later |
483s | hey Mike on a scale of October 1st to |
486s | November 30th when is cycle 1.2 also can |
489s | we call it cycle 3 please I don't know |
493s | um I'm sure it'll get much more |
495s | confusing than that before then |
517s | the fur Le frenzy |
519s | is really |
523s | noticeable it's like this big old |
525s | two-hander I also love this uh this |
532s | mace Nemesis system seems to be balanced |
534s | around mg naturally uh but why don't cof |
539s | bonuses apply to the the loot uh and |
541s | improvements and would you consider |
543s | adding them um I I I don't know if it's |
547s | balanced specifically |
549s | around uh anyone like that because |
552s | especially when you have things like the |
553s | the egg mechanics like you're going to |
554s | be |
556s | getting I mean you can iess you can get |
558s | those same things from the bizaar too |
561s | yeah it's it's always possible I mean |
564s | like I I I know you know what I'm going |
566s | to say here slap in the suggestions |
567s | thread |
584s | I guess it's |
588s | possible they're already doing a ton of |
591s | really great |
596s | stuff guess the other way to go is make |
598s | those items non-tradeable |
609s | all right what is the coolest new fix or |
611s | change in the next patch coming out |
615s | um I can't I can't I can't say |
619s | it |
625s | uh there's something that I've mentioned |
629s | I don't know that's coming next patch or |
630s | not actually |
633s | uh well there's something that I've |
635s | mentioned many times on stream that is |
637s | coming eventually and it might may or |
639s | may not be next patch I don't |
642s | know next major |
651s | patch |
656s | impossible get in there |
665s | my big Raptor |
677s | boy more questions I'm going to turn |
679s | this I I've |
682s | I'm this is the first time I've played |
685s | with um without any sort of headphones |
688s | at all so it's actually is coming |
690s | through my speakers so let me know if |
691s | you hear like feedback or the volume's |
693s | way off or things like that um and I |
696s | want to like just turn stuff down here |
698s | then I'm like |
699s | uhoh going to turn down that turns down |
701s | the mix that's coming through to stream |
703s | as well it's probably too low |
709s | now my speakers out un |
713s | touch all right hello Mike hi can you |
717s | provide some more details on what does |
719s | these sprig forms Veil Spirit does |
721s | exactly is it not supposed to cast |
723s | Spirit Thorns when you |
725s | do oh is it not supposed to cast spr |
728s | Thorns or Spirit Thorns when you |
732s | do uh Veil spirit |
762s | uh is it supposed to actually |
764s | cast I don't |
769s | know see if we can find |
777s | it Veil spirit |
784s | a veil spirit that orits you for a short |
785s | time during this time automatically |
787s | shoots nearby enemies with Spirit Thorns |
789s | from Veil Spirit yeah I think it just |
790s | automatically shoots I don't think it's |
792s | triggered by you I guess I could have |
794s | just done this to find |
802s | this |
804s | yeah it's it should just be it should |
806s | just just happen I don't think it needs |
809s | to have you actually |
812s | shoot it's been a while since I played |
814s | spring in form should do that again as |
817s | as I just picked Beast Master like 2 |
819s | minutes |
826s | ago next next next cycle I think I think |
829s | I'm going to hey my RO my RO springing |
831s | for him a while since I've done that |
834s | also have done any shape shifting B they |
835s | could do a hybrid one |
842s | that sounds like |
847s | fun uh hey Mike will you try poe2 in |
850s | November |
853s | yeah |
855s | yeah like even even if I wasn't a fan I |
858s | it would be kind of irresponsible not to |
860s | but |
861s | yeah I'll be I'll be trying it I tried a |
864s | Gamescom last year speaking of Gamescom |
870s | was awesome we were we were there on the |
872s | setup day um and we we got a chance to |
875s | chat with them |
877s | um it was that that was that was really |
887s | cool I really love how they're like |
889s | still so passionate about about their |
891s | game like even so many years later it's |
894s | really really awesome |
902s | all right uh how is it working at home |
904s | in Canada I hear you're beautiful over I |
906s | hear it's beautiful over there but do |
908s | you sometimes miss going to the office |
910s | and interacting with the team well I've |
911s | never gone to an office for this game so |
914s | I don't really miss that uh necessarily |
917s | but yeah I I I think there's a lot of |
919s | value in having a shared workspace um |
923s | the the whole like like hey come check |
925s | out what I'm doing oh hey look what |
927s | you're doing to sort of like |
928s | interactions that you don't get when you |
930s | have um completely like separate at home |
933s | works places like you just don't see |
935s | everyone every day there's there's a |
936s | little bit of a disconnect there and so |
939s | yeah there's there's there's nice things |
940s | about having uh office space but I love |
942s | working from |
944s | home I don't know |
946s | it's I I I find myself doing like |
950s | working weird hours sometimes just |
951s | naturally where I'm like a all right |
953s | I've got an idea I'm going to go just |
955s | just just slip this in right |
958s | now you can't do that if you have if |
960s | have to go to the |
974s | office so having to pick between the two |
976s | I definitely pick work from |
978s | home if I if I had to pick like one or |
980s | the |
987s | other they did have like a a normal like |
990s | office |
991s | job uh before this |
994s | one it was nice gorgeous |
999s | office but I like this one way |
1009s | more all right next |
1014s | question Oh and it is beautiful here in |
1016s | Canada |
1025s | H hi Mike oh why killing Nemesis is |
1028s | quicker than Exile Mage I don't know |
1034s | um Exel Mages do have uh an extra thing |
1038s | where they |
1039s | are uh enemies of the other like enemies |
1044s | they're not on anyone's team other than |
1046s | their own so like you'll you will like |
1050s | you you you can get some help from the |
1052s | enemies to kill an exile Mage as |
1059s | well thank you very much valenova |
1064s | 01 welcome hope you're having |
1071s | fun oh yeah I should I totally forgot to |
1074s | say this we we always stream for charity |
1075s | here and we've got new charity today |
1077s | well we're going uh reverting back to to |
1079s | in uh a cherry we had before cuz we had |
1082s | a huge run with the Trevor Project and |
1084s | now we're back to child's play um so |
1086s | yeah all the everything from stream goes |
1087s | to |
1092s | there |
1094s | uh which is why I'm allowed to have a |
1097s | banner on my uh stream because you're |
1099s | not normally allowed to do that but |
1100s | because it's a charity it's |
1102s | okay I think I don't know the rules |
1105s | exactly all I know is because it's a |
1106s | charity it's okay |
1112s | [Applause] |
1119s | can we expect some visual clues for buff |
1123s | debuff on our pets like which ones are |
1125s | under rip blood uh rip blood's blood |
1127s | infusion for example um there there |
1131s | should be something there it's probably |
1132s | just way too subtle especially on |
1134s | Necromancer like so we we we do have we |
1137s | do have some things already um I'll give |
1139s | you an example of one in a |
1142s | second this one's a this one's a lot |
1144s | easier to see but |
1147s | like significantly bigger there drops |
1150s | down so like we we do put visual cues on |
1153s | things like that |
1156s | um I don't know if that one has it or |
1158s | not but like even things like bleed have |
1161s | visual cues they're just sometimes a |
1162s | little little on the subtle side um |
1169s | so I hope it already has one if not it |
1171s | probably |
1175s | should I still like it's it's it's the |
1179s | right now no positive things show up |
1182s | down here and I'd really like there to |
1183s | be that's that's that's one thing that I |
1186s | I I thought we were going to do and I |
1188s | just did at one point and then we like |
1189s | no we're not doing that I undo it |
1200s | I think there's there's a lot of room |
1201s | for improvement in the |
1204s | um pet control and pet |
1208s | communication |
1218s | categories now I'm back round |
1222s | two |
1226s | die all right |
1232s | are there any plans to bring down clear |
1234s | speed of range builds or increase the |
1236s | speed of melee or is it seems like |
1239s | loading or if that seems loading is ehg |
1243s | happy with the discrepancy between the |
1247s | two we we don't try |
1251s | to how do I say |
1254s | this ideally there wouldn't be a |
1257s | distinction made by the player base in |
1258s | that category like just at all it would |
1262s | just be like a different types of |
1271s | characters uh what do you think about a |
1273s | new experimental aex for belt instantly |
1274s | revive down to EXC companions on potion |
1276s | use |
1279s | uh I I think that I think that's |
1281s | incredibly |
1284s | powerful um but if you've got a |
1286s | suggestion that you want us to consider |
1288s | um head on over to to our forums or |
1290s | Discord uh into the suggestions |
1292s | categories that we have laid out for |
1297s | suggestions this bothers me the like |
1299s | it's showing up over there we've got to |
1302s | fix that I know I know the there the fix |
1303s | ready for it it's just not in yet like |
1306s | not not rolled |
1311s | out that buger part got submitted |
1313s | someone's like ah I know how to fix that |
1315s | was like immediately ready |
1330s | uh that was |
1334s | weird all right frenzy do have frenzy |
1336s | duration is that in here elements |
1338s | cleanse yeah we want cleansing that's |
1341s | the cleansing is uh I think one of the |
1344s | most |
1346s | underrated abilities that are like like |
1349s | um modifiers that abilities can get in |
1351s | last Epoch and like if you are uh if |
1355s | you're making a build one of my biggest |
1356s | recommendations is try to work cleansing |
1359s | into it if you can somewhere um there's |
1361s | a there's a belt modifier lots of |
1363s | abilities have it especially on |
1364s | primalist has tons of abilities that |
1366s | have it I'm I'm trying to work some more |
1368s | into um like Sentinel I think Sentinel |
1371s | has a lot of really good places |
1372s | especially inow and to to get cleansing |
1374s | on there |
1376s | um and I really want to start |
1377s | experimenting with like partial |
1379s | cleansing um which which might sound |
1381s | weird but like um I think I think |
1386s | there's I think there's room for some |
1387s | cool stuff |
1396s | there all |
1398s | right uh build balance in 1.1 is still |
1400s | pretty bad with many builds that do 2K |
1402s | corruption still uh is this because |
1404s | you're still trying to figure out the |
1406s | best way to balance right or you afraid |
1407s | the massive Nerfs angry the community or |
1409s | mix of both I mean there's there's |
1412s | always there's always things that slip |
1414s | through as just stuff we didn't consider |
1416s | sometimes um there's there's also the |
1419s | yeah like we having having |
1422s | insane uh like like the rhetoric around |
1424s | of Nerf being insane or something like |
1426s | that is is unfortunate |
1431s | um I think there's there's definitely |
1434s | there's room for some more Nerfs |
1437s | having there room for Buffs and Nerfs |
1439s | all over the place there always is like |
1440s | there's that that that shouldn't be a |
1442s | surprise really |
1444s | um I think |
1450s | the the focus is generally more on the |
1455s | like average player experience |
1465s | [Applause] |
1479s | oh I do love that it shows that it was a |
1481s | crit and how much the overkill damage |
1487s | was it's a really nice |
1491s | Edition uh the thing Ellie does better |
1493s | than all other args is build diversity |
1495s | and experimentation |
1500s | I'm just laughing at the followup from |
1502s | the last |
1504s | question um what a challenge cosmetic |
1507s | reward for different achievements with |
1509s | different builds be on the board for |
1512s | example taking down a T10 Harbinger with |
1514s | a void Knight gets you a title or |
1516s | cosmetic versus a paladin getting a |
1518s | different one |
1524s | um so I I I really like the idea of |
1526s | having uh Cosmetics appear like like |
1528s | that and having achievements for things |
1530s | like that um I think the if we didn't I |
1534s | think if we did do that we would have to |
1536s | add one for every single |
1538s | Mastery |
1541s | um all at the exact same time I'd prefer |
1544s | probably to start without having Mastery |
1547s | specific ones and then work in Mastery |
1551s | specific stuff after the fact like so |
1553s | like oh we've already got a half dozen |
1555s | of those types of things and then like |
1557s | then start getting more specific at like |
1559s | once we've got some under our |
1565s | [Applause] |
1569s | belt yeah I always love the um I I I |
1574s | really like there's a lot |
1577s | of achievements in uh like Civ for |
1581s | example that are so so specific um and |
1585s | that most of the time they happen |
1587s | accidentally and I and I love that |
1589s | feeling of like you're just you're just |
1592s | playing along and something the |
1593s | achievement pops up and you're like what |
1594s | did I |
1596s | do uh it's this like really obscure |
1598s | thing like um get Leonardo da Vinci and |
1603s | Michelangelo and donello and ref in in |
1607s | the same city as like an artwork from |
1610s | all in the same city or something like |
1611s | that with the sewers that's what it is |
1613s | yeah with the sewers built in the same |
1615s | city um |
1619s | and like you you know silly things like |
1621s | that that that you don't even wow got to |
1624s | be more aggressive with my |
1625s | healing um you don't even consider as |
1628s | like an expected thing to happen I I |
1631s | like |
1638s | it uh can you die so our bingo card RPG |
1641s | can be filled out no problem I'm on |
1646s | it I think that question was asked a |
1648s | while |
1649s | ago all right any chance of Solo or |
1652s | corruption ladder in |
1654s | 1.2 |
1657s | um I don't I don't know about 1.2 maybe |
1661s | um I hope |
1667s | so there's there's |
1669s | some there's a little bit of shake up |
1671s | that needs to happen there |
1681s | I I I'd really like to get more ladders |
1683s | in that's that's something that I think |
1684s | should be a little bit higher priority |
1685s | for us in general just cuz I think |
1688s | they're um I think they're really |
1690s | positive for like just fun |
1709s | [Music] |
1719s | die wow this is like taking a lot of |
1722s | focus to not die cuz I'm so trash right |
1728s | now |
1730s | okay uh since you're playing a prim list |
1732s | any idea when the cold swing of Tempest |
1735s | strike will be fixed it currently always |
1737s | counts as a spell and therefore never |
1738s | gener Ates Mana even if the Tempest is |
1740s | disabled I have no idea I'm sorry um if |
1744s | you haven't already drop a bug report |
1746s | using the in buger py |
1761s | tool I'm kind of working on some other |
1765s | stuff right now um w |
1770s | it want |
1778s | you oh my goodness I just go play the |
1782s | the |
1783s | Sentinel dying way too much yeah you |
1785s | know what this is like the eighth death |
1786s | in a row |
1793s | uh you know what we're going to do okay |
1795s | here's what we're going to do we're |
1796s | going to get to the next Zone and I'm |
1798s | going to go go get my go to my stash and |
1801s | pick out some stuff cuz I know I've got |
1803s | some better gear in there |
1805s | now |
1810s | impossible uh Marksman what up with that |
1813s | tons of fun love |
1815s | it uh hi Mike are there any plans on |
1817s | getting a black hole up to speed with |
1819s | the other Mage spells black hole is an |
1821s | interesting one black hole |
1825s | is kind of waiting on some stuff before |
1829s | really does what it needs to |
1833s | do |
1837s | um I kind of regret releasing black hole |
1839s | when we did it it's it's a fun skill and |
1842s | I love having it but I kind of wish we |
1844s | had had a little bit more |
1850s | foresight and waited |
1859s | get to the next checkpoint my goodness |
1862s | where is |
1870s | it but there's there's there's |
1871s | definitely some I was just working on |
1874s | something for it yesterday |
1876s | actually will not be in the next patch |
1878s | at all nothing I'm working on right now |
1880s | is going to be in the next |
1882s | patch |
1887s | farewell okay do we have anything that |
1890s | we can use Hammer might just be the way |
1892s | to go |
1899s | right and that's the easy |
1907s | one really not change it at all that's |
1914s | hilarious well hilarious might not be |
1916s | the right word but |
1918s | it's a |
1919s | thing oh my |
1934s | god oh I completely forgot I was loving |
1937s | this character with veterans boots I was |
1940s | sitting here the whole stream freaking |
1941s | out why I was being so trash |
1947s | [Music] |
1948s | oh that makes me feel so much better |
1951s | okay we're not going to do that cuz it's |
1952s | boring to |
1960s | watch a well done Mike well done there's |
1964s | the other |
1972s | ones oh that makes me feel better where |
1974s | are you |
1982s | not even going to bother checking the |
1983s | other slots it's just such a gigantic |
1986s | upgrade Kret thank you very much for the |
1989s | seven months appreciate |
1992s | you glad to have you |
1999s | here |
2002s | okay now I just need to not get like |
2004s | crazy cocky and and have and die anyways |
2011s | just carving through the like butter now |
2015s | oh my |
2017s | God that's that that's that's |
2020s | genuinely |
2022s | yeah those are bad |
2034s | whatever oh wow that opens up in a |
2036s | terrible spot |
2048s | storms |
2050s | um |
2059s | generic yes |
2061s | yes wonderful |
2076s | uh but if I had realized that's what was |
2078s | happening I would have been so much more |
2080s | careful while doing it and yeah I bet |
2082s | this character was deathless before that |
2084s | too cuz I was leveling them I was |
2086s | leveling a few of them deathless it's |
2088s | just been a while all |
2095s | right archery is clearly not popular at |
2098s | the moment any plans to improve that we |
2099s | don't really look at the popularity |
2101s | necessarily as a direct measure of what |
2103s | needs to happen with a with a with a |
2105s | power level |
2107s | perspective |
2109s | um like sometimes popularity is is due |
2112s | to just like an unfun play pattern um I |
2116s | I don't know if that's what's happening |
2117s | right now or not um but I think archery |
2120s | also is one of those things where it's |
2121s | really susceptible to to to to very |
2124s | dramatic swings from very few changes |
2128s | in popularity cuz there's so few |
2130s | abilities that can utilize it um there's |
2133s | one and a half masteries that can even |
2135s | do it |
2136s | um and so it's it's and and one of them |
2140s | has a very popular build that's not even |
2141s | ranged any at all you know like and so |
2146s | there's um so it's much more susceptible |
2149s | to like becoming unpopular overall I |
2153s | think um cuz like you look at and I |
2156s | don't think that means it is uh |
2158s | inherently more or less deserving of |
2160s | Buffs or not but just uh I think it's |
2162s | important to keep that in mind when |
2163s | looking at it in perspective with other |
2165s | play Styles so like the um I don't know |
2168s | if if Sentinel melee is bad and no one's |
2172s | playing Sentinel melee melee as a |
2174s | archetype doesn't disappear because |
2176s | there's four other classes that can do |
2178s | melee you know |
2192s | the power level difference is insane |
2194s | those boots are so |
2197s | hard those boots are really those boots |
2199s | are really hard if you don't know you're |
2202s | wearing |
2207s | them should be a little like icon that |
2210s | shows up I he like a little |
2214s | skull all right hi Mike hope you're |
2216s | having a great Friday so far I am having |
2217s | a really great Friday so far yeah uh I |
2220s | have a couple questions not to beat a |
2222s | dead horse but any updates on an ehg Mir |
2225s | store please keep asking this |
2228s | question I know it sounds ridiculous but |
2230s | oh my God please keep asking this |
2232s | question cuz I want it so bad every time |
2234s | I see my mom she asks me like I have a |
2238s | couple friends that keep asking me too |
2239s | it's just it's yes I don't have any info |
2241s | yet I'm sorry I'd really love to have |
2243s | more |
2245s | info uh secondly without spoilers OB |
2248s | obviously uh what story thread are you |
2250s | most excited to see continued or |
2252s | completed in upcoming Cycles |
2256s | um I'm always excited to see what |
2258s | happens to |
2263s | Minimus uh and for the record I have no |
2266s | idea what's going to happen if if if |
2268s | there's anything more to |
2270s | happen that's that's my character that I |
2274s | follow oh bad |
2278s | uh how are you master sword 1291 how are |
2280s | you |
2282s | doing and we're ehg we're doing pretty |
2285s | good yeah uh I thought of a perfect gift |
2287s | you can give me for my 40-month |
2289s | anniversary oh all |
2292s | right uh please pick Sentinel Dr a 200% |
2295s | increase to Ironclad Dr wouldn't break |
2297s | anything and will begin to balance |
2299s | Sentinel with capabilities of other |
2300s | classes please and thank you there's |
2302s | there's a lot happening with Sentinel |
2303s | right now |
2305s | um there's there's there's quite a lot |
2308s | happening with Sentinel right now cuz |
2309s | there's there's some big changes to some |
2310s | really |
2311s | key there's there's there's some really |
2314s | big changes to a really key Sentinel |
2317s | skill that's causing ripples throughout |
2319s | the whole thing right now |
2321s | um I don't know when that's going to be |
2323s | going to be done cuz it's a it's a |
2325s | pretty pretty big |
2331s | change but it affects every Sentinel I |
2333s | think pretty well not not everyone but |
2336s | like it affects like paladins void |
2339s | Knights and Forge |
2342s | guards all |
2348s | right oh and I totally missed it too so |
2351s | thank you for pointing out to me thank |
2352s | you very much for your 40 month resub |
2354s | that I missed half an hour ago my |
2355s | goodness I was right at the |
2358s | start |
2361s | woo that is that is are you the first 40 |
2370s | see a 38 another 38 are you the first |
2376s | 40 that's a milestone achievement right |
2380s | there I think you're the first 40 wow |
2382s | thank you thank you so much uh |
2391s | wild maybe I can uh maybe we can plan |
2394s | something for for some for some 50s |
2399s | see that seems like it seems like a lot |
2401s | 50 is what 4 |
2415s | years doing this a while haven't |
2418s | we I'm really glad that I get to do this |
2421s | every |
2422s | week little little stream little play in |
2424s | the game |
2434s | we're also going to be um I'm I'm I'm |
2437s | I'm working with some some people to we |
2439s | just just starting to get some more some |
2441s | more variance in the streams cuz I think |
2443s | there's think there's room for a lot of |
2444s | people to come on and do stuff and I |
2445s | really want to uh to get some more of |
2447s | that |
2451s | rolling not die here so if there's a |
2454s | department you'd really like to see drop |
2457s | that in suggestions |
2460s | box oh I'm looking at |
2463s | these all |
2465s | right uh you worried that the current |
2468s | codebase architecture makes it hard to |
2470s | build enough relevant new content for 3 |
2472s | to four month release cycle uh |
2474s | no I I think |
2479s | there's I mean I think we're still kind |
2482s | of growing as a as a team for how fast |
2485s | we can crank out high quality stuff |
2490s | um so we're improving on |
2496s | that uh are we getting a new dungeon for |
2499s | the Primal legendary uh no and there'll |
2503s | be some more info to come on |
2514s | that the Roat might be a little out of |
2516s | date |
2533s | all right next one are we getting in all |
2536s | into |
2537s | that is there anything run Mike run is |
2541s | there anything in on the pipeline |
2543s | similar to Rune of refining or Rune of |
2545s | shaping for legendary SL uniques no we |
2548s | we kind of we've kind of had a pretty |
2549s | firm um no uniques in the Forge like no |
2552s | no uniques in here sort of rule |
2558s | um it's it's it's unclear if we're going |
2560s | to break that rule or not at any point |
2563s | uh not for this patch |
2572s | though our pet came really close to |
2574s | dying there we have a special one no |
2577s | it's a Primal |
2579s | Raptor they're all special to |
2583s | me uh we wanted to get this we're coming |
2586s | down here for |
2588s | this some shred and |
2590s | bleed that we |
2593s | want feel like this is nowhere near as |
2596s | good as it seems |
2617s | ding get that spec slot what should be a |
2620s | third one Raptor how's we doing Raptor |
2623s | gang I know it's like you're supposed to |
2625s | level I you you can level Wolves At |
2627s | first cuz if you're doing like a whole |
2629s | bunch of them with wolves and you're |
2629s | going to switch a whole bunch of them |
2630s | with raptor when you get to 65 but I'm |
2632s | going to do giant Raptor till |
2634s | 65 um |
2639s | I think just kill stack revolve yeah |
2643s | coming down here I think right |
2662s | away how many threshold ODS in Beast |
2664s | Master yet are there |
2668s | those there one o |
2673s | ooh make sure we snag that |
2678s | Waypoint impossible there there's also |
2681s | there's always little things that I'm |
2682s | like I wonder if this has been done yet |
2683s | so did the way yeah wayo is updating the |
2685s | map now okay good |
2690s | [Applause] |
2703s | come on get your kills |
2705s | in take your vitamin |
2707s | kills all |
2709s | [Music] |
2711s | right uh with all the AI hype going on |
2713s | do you use any of it in your game I |
2716s | don't think we use any for anything |
2720s | um I know I know we don't use it for |
2722s | anything that actually makes it into the |
2724s | game I don't think we use it for like |
2725s | anything really um I mean you could kind |
2728s | of there's some |
2731s | like like |
2734s | uh it's it's such it's such a it's such |
2736s | a blurry line so there's lots of code um |
2740s | like like just editor programs for code |
2743s | so just where you just type code in um |
2746s | they they have they'll like try and |
2748s | autocomplete you know how you're if |
2750s | you're typing like an email on Gmail |
2751s | It'll like trying to autocomplete the |
2752s | sentence you're trying to type Co code |
2754s | editors have done that for a long time |
2756s | um and it it does that more and more |
2760s | lately so |
2762s | like I guess a little bit there in a |
2765s | sense but it it just like tries to |
2767s | finish the line you're typing on like it |
2768s | doesn't suggest new things and it's |
2771s | really just copying other lines you've |
2772s | already |
2773s | typed |
2777s | um I don't think that really counts it's |
2779s | not it's not using like co-pilot or |
2781s | anything like that um |
2796s | there's there's a lot of I think I think |
2798s | a lot of |
2800s | the |
2802s | um I think a lot of the stuff is in |
2808s | limbo I'm getting message here I think a |
2810s | lot of the like legalities around using |
2815s | um uh around using a for things in |
2818s | published works is a little in limbo and |
2821s | I don't know if it's out of just caution |
2823s | or something but uh I I think we just |
2825s | steer clear of it completely |
2828s | from probably for a various like a set |
2831s | of reasons like um oh I got to change |
2834s | the auto message for nightbot I I think |
2836s | there's just like |
2838s | a there's two angles of like one use |
2840s | human generated things and then also |
2841s | wanting to just not risk having legal |
2844s | issues down the road um so I think |
2846s | that's why we just kind of |
2848s | steer clear of it |
2853s | completely oh let's see if I can fix our |
2856s | nightbot stuff |
2883s | I think this is going to work uh it's |
2886s | child's play today |
2890s | right please stand with us please stay |
2893s | on the line your call is important to us |
2895s | will be answered in the order it was |
2896s | received |
2899s | be I don't know if that is going to |
2902s | update the message that goes out |
2904s | frequently |
2919s | let me know if that fixed it we |
2924s | just I don't want to scroll cuz I'll |
2926s | lose my place in in in the |
2930s | messages all right with the road map you |
2932s | state that you will add a lot of endgame |
2934s | content however will it be really |
2935s | something hard and challenging or gain |
2937s | something equal to 300 corruption still |
2938s | in favor of the average player um I I |
2941s | think the the key stuff we were looking |
2942s | to add into the end game right now is |
2944s | improving the entire process of the end |
2946s | game so like um like improving the |
2950s | monolith experience improving the like |
2952s | activities that are available as you're |
2953s | playing the game um that that that |
2956s | applies to every stage of the of the |
2958s | campaign and end game and uh like late |
2962s | endgame you know like there there's |
2964s | there's there's just so much room for um |
2968s | improvements in this category so it's |
2970s | something we've talked about a lot so |
2971s | like I think Nemesis was the most |
2973s | successful part of |
2974s | 1.1 |
2977s | um largely because it it it impacts |
2980s | everyone throughout the entirety of the |
2982s | game you know like it's it's a cool |
2984s | mechanic that's happening all the time |
2987s | um I think the biggest criticism I've |
2989s | seen from it has been from |
2991s | Bugs um and from well like specifically |
2995s | one bug which is part the reason why I |
2997s | was selling everyone to get cleansing |
3000s | uh um in their builds |
3005s | and uh and that it's not in every |
3010s | Zone um so I know like the the next |
3012s | thing that |
3013s | I'm like we're working on more things to |
3016s | go in that similar category of Nemesis |
3020s | um and there's there's one that |
3022s | uh I'm I'm going to be pitching next |
3025s | week actually and part of the thing in |
3027s | the pitch anyways that I that the one |
3029s | I'm pitching is it's in every |
3032s | Zone cuz that's what I heard from all |
3034s | you that you wanted to |
3044s | see yeah that fast revive |
3050s | time you cannot |
3055s | hide I know this build's going to end up |
3056s | with like like four sources of |
3080s | cleansing hey Mike is disconnection |
3084s | protection being thought about I.E make |
3086s | character immune when the server |
3087s | disconnects uh detects a DC |
3092s | um |
3094s | it's I I know that having |
3098s | a um I yes that that's that's definitely |
3101s | something we want there is um or want |
3104s | want to work better cuz it already |
3105s | does um there already is something in |
3108s | place for that but it is |
3110s | not uh I guess ubiquitous enough that it |
3113s | works properly in every situation and |
3116s | sometimes people still die from it |
3121s | farewell there is it's a fine line to |
3124s | walk because having alt f4 be the best |
3129s | defense is I think really unhealthy for |
3132s | the game |
3135s | and |
3138s | like that that's that's something that I |
3140s | really wouldn't like to have is is is |
3142s | like just oh it's you're about to die |
3145s | press a button that disconnects you from |
3146s | the internet |
3147s | um you know like |
3150s | that's not |
3160s | great |
3165s | yes |
3174s | possible all right |
3180s | um hope the team's doing great we are |
3183s | was too busy to jump in the cycle we're |
3185s | hoping to do the next one |
3204s | cool uh since we getting close to .2 can |
3207s | you give us a small hint about the set |
3209s | gear changes um there's no major set |
3212s | gear changes like I'm assuming you're |
3214s | talking about like set items like green |
3216s | items um the we have not implemented the |
3219s | I know we've been teasing a a large |
3221s | change to set items at some point it's |
3223s | not coming in |
3226s | 1.2 at least not coming in the next |
3228s | major patch uh I'm going to help Aaron's |
3231s | Community with the Bingo no that's |
3233s | cheating |
3238s | I think so I think the person above you |
3239s | just beat you to it |
3244s | anyways wish learn uh Aaron tell me what |
3249s | to do I'm following your build |
3253s | here wish to learn not not actually I |
3257s | just |
3259s | uh I did read you were you I I watched |
3262s | your video for the Raptor |
3264s | build um |
3267s | like two months |
3271s | ago and I couldn't find the quick link |
3274s | to the planner before starting |
3277s | today so this is my butchered version of |
3279s | my two month ago remembrance of that |
3281s | build |
3284s | yeah all right I'm going to help have |
3287s | you considered making sets being build |
3289s | creators uh that are useless for other |
3291s | builds like creating archetypes like |
3293s | Ranger where you have Companions and a |
3295s | bow maybe even give you a completely new |
3298s | skill and when is the set revamp coming |
3301s | anyways set revamp is not going to be |
3303s | for a while um that that idea of having |
3305s | items Grant skills though is something |
3307s | that I'm really interested in doing um |
3309s | and something I think we can |
3311s | do so you joke but all |
3317s | right and there's where I realized I was |
3319s | wearing the |
3321s | boots |
3323s | uh uh hey Mike how would you feel about |
3326s | vanity levels after level 100 no extra |
3328s | power Just the Way of show how much |
3329s | you've played a character I like the |
3331s | idea I like it I think it's I think it's |
3332s | cool I think there's a little bit of a |
3334s | danger in incentivizing playing that |
3337s | much um but I don't know I think it's I |
3341s | I think it's |
3344s | cool all right first of all thank you so |
3346s | much for the game you're welcome glad |
3348s | you're having fun with it that's the |
3349s | best part um will there be more story in |
3352s | the future yeah yeah yeah we are we're |
3354s | still working on more story this this |
3356s | scene you're seeing now the ancient era |
3357s | is very underutilized so the next major |
3360s | story content that comes out will |
3362s | eventually um hit a lot of ancient era |
3364s | tropes I think |
3373s | um but that'll be a bit |
3380s | still all right let me rephrase my |
3384s | question then archery isn't fun at the |
3386s | moment any plans to prove this game play |
3388s | I mean |
3391s | um we're always looking like I'll give |
3393s | you a generic answer cuz I disagree with |
3395s | the premise uh we're always looking to |
3397s | increase the fun of every build |
3399s | archetype um like what's what's not fun |
3402s | about it for you is it that it doesn't |
3404s | do enough damage is it that |
3407s | um like you don't don't like the the the |
3412s | optimal play pattern that is for it now |
3414s | and it would be better if the cuz cuz |
3415s | you can I feel like you can make any |
3417s | play pattern you want that is like |
3419s | archery |
3420s | themed um it just might not be the |
3424s | strongest way and so doing it the |
3427s | strongest way might not be a fun pattern |
3428s | for you or something like that but |
3433s | um or or is it just the actual overall |
3436s | the way the way archery plays even if |
3438s | you're in like |
3439s | a like take take level 100 character |
3441s | into level 50 Zone and and |
3443s | and like the way that the skills work |
3446s | together you you don't find |
3457s | fun cuz cuz you know uh marksman's still |
3460s | my favorite class to |
3465s | play so there's something different that |
3467s | we're each enjoying about it or not or |
3469s | the way we enjoy the game not die |
3481s | all right uh what do you think about |
3482s | putting a Corruption of each month right |
3484s | on the map so you can see them all at |
3486s | once without having to go into each of |
3487s | them to check there was some reason why |
3489s | we couldn't do |
3496s | this was there some reason why we |
3498s | couldn't do this or it was just |
3499s | something that we should do I can't |
3501s | remember it's definitely a good idea um |
3508s | I feel like I brought this up |
3511s | recently it's hiding way back |
3516s | here I love this flask it's the only |
3520s | reason I'm doing this cuz the rest of |
3521s | that is H |
3531s | garbage this time you will perish |
3537s | I just walk away from a bunch of stuff I |
3538s | did walk away from a bunch of |
3540s | stuff |
3542s | [Music] |
3544s | um by the Numbers what is the least |
3547s | played class build you can think of I'm |
3549s | looking for alt ideas I don't know I |
3551s | don't know if I I really avoid numbers |
3552s | like that um if I was going to guess I |
3555s | would say it's |
3557s | probably uh actually not |
3563s | it's it's not it's not acolyte I'll tell |
3565s | you that right away it's definitely not |
3566s | it's probably Prim less it's probably |
3568s | it's probably either |
3571s | Beastmaster uh or Shaman right |
3573s | now would be my |
3580s | guess it might be like Spell blade |
3584s | [Applause] |
3586s | though I'm I'm just trying to think of |
3588s | like what's had the least amount of work |
3589s | on it |
3592s | recently got that we're going to come |
3594s | down her |
3598s | with oh answer |
3601s | that will the road mate be updated soon |
3603s | also set items rework |
3605s | when uh sets rework not soon sorry uh |
3608s | road map will be |
3610s | updating uh I don't know when but |
3612s | hopefully soon cuz it it needs it needs |
3614s | an update oh no |
3617s | run impossible |
3629s | next |
3638s | question uh since ESU was founded in the |
3641s | DFW area any chances of running an ehg |
3644s | charity 5k walk event in Dallas woof |
3649s | um maybe uh I don't think we've ever |
3652s | talked about doing something like that |
3654s | um that's a cool idea though |
3660s | the yeah we we do have more people in |
3662s | that area than anywhere else but there's |
3663s | still a teen like less than one uh more |
3666s | than 1% not much more than 1% of the |
3668s | staff is is in that |
3674s | area and by that area I mean all of |
3684s | Texas uh where are we going |
3693s | uh the Raptor pack build was fun can we |
3695s | expect items that allow other pack build |
3697s | types scorpion bear tiger |
3699s | pack all sound cool and fun um I'm less |
3703s | inclined to add too many more of |
3707s | these uh just because it it kind of |
3709s | homogenizes all of the different minion |
3712s | types that you can have and I'd like to |
3714s | see there be some uniqueness in there |
3716s | still |
3717s | um but it's possible we could have more |
3718s | of those |
3720s | things um bar and saber-tooth especially |
3724s | need uh need some life breathing them |
3726s | they need they need something to say |
3727s | like hey this is why I I'm I'm |
3730s | interesting and unique and cool cuz |
3733s | right now they're |
3735s | just they're they're just kind of |
3741s | bland they have so much potential to be |
3743s | awesome |
3752s | uh oh I see nightbot sh play there |
3755s | perfect thank you for trying to |
3759s | check |
3767s | um is there any updates coming for the |
3770s | sound Design Within ell I mean we're |
3771s | always every patch comes with updates to |
3774s | sound um as well as everything else too |
3776s | so yeah |
3779s | um I don't think there's anything |
3780s | revolutionary on the |
3784s | horizon uh yeah don't forget to add me |
3786s | yeah howdy Mike howdy partner um hope |
3791s | you're well sir I am doing pretty good |
3792s | right now actually is it possible to see |
3794s | the area effect of skills uh with like a |
3797s | white line when we hover over them to |
3799s | see how big they the area really is for |
3801s | example Bastion of Honor shows you a |
3803s | white line in the circle I only ask |
3804s | because it's hard to judge where and |
3806s | what erasing strike is well |
3808s | erasing |
3811s | um yeah so you're thinking like like if |
3813s | you Mouse over this or if you mous over |
3814s | this it would like show like a little |
3816s | circle around your character to show how |
3817s | big it is that sort of thing um that's a |
3819s | cool idea |
3822s | um I think I think what might |
3827s | be it's that's tricky to |
3831s | do uh I think what might be easier is a |
3835s | more obvious like this is how big |
3837s | something is and a more explicit uh |
3839s | description of how big something is like |
3842s | like okay this this affects um instead |
3844s | of saying nearby enemies it'll be like |
3846s | nearby enemies and maybe hold all it's |
3848s | like within 1.2 M which it's not it's |
3851s | like 6 M or something but |
3857s | still yeah it's about six |
3877s | I I don't I do not remember where I'm |
3878s | going with |
3880s | this do want that though I |
3885s | think any Le Gamescom presentence this |
3888s | year there's there's a tiny there's a |
3890s | tiny contingency there um I I I'm going |
3894s | to guess and say there's two people |
3896s | there maybe a third I know at least |
3900s | one um we definitely didn't do the we |
3904s | went big last year we not going quite |
3906s | that big this |
3908s | year um I would love to do it again we |
3912s | just any convention it's been a while |
3913s | since it's been a year since I've been |
3914s | at a convention I'm I'm kind of itching |
3916s | for it again I think that was Gamescom |
3919s | was like it was really incredible |
3926s | I know every time I talk about I'm like |
3927s | a gidy school girl but you know what the |
3929s | shoe |
3946s | fits finished with |
3950s | you |
3952s | nice nice |
3956s | uh could it be possible for other |
3957s | classes than Rogues to use bows in the |
3959s | future yeah yeah I I |
3962s | I'm I I really think that you know Beast |
3965s | Master get getting a bow option |
3968s | is um important at this point um there |
3973s | there's I think there's a lot of good |
3975s | Arguments for even having |
3978s | uh like uh Sentinels with a bow like you |
3982s | you definitely see in in like a military |
3985s | setting in a medieval military setting |
3986s | having like bow |
3990s | wielding um that's like I I think that's |
3993s | very appropriate as |
3995s | well um and once you get to three like I |
3999s | think it might as well just be |
4003s | everyone Mage Mage and acolyte |
4005s | definitely don't make as much sense and |
4006s | um I can't see there being much support |
4008s | for it there um what one of the tricky |
4010s | Parts is getting abilities to be |
4011s | compatible with it so like all of the |
4015s | Rogue the the three main Rogue abilities |
4017s | that are hybrid melee or ranged were all |
4019s | designed from day one as hybrid melee or |
4022s | ranged abilities um and that that has a |
4025s | big impact on on what they what they can |
4030s | do B we need boore |
4047s | do you think in the future we could see |
4048s | lenses and Echo this |
4052s | way we could just kind of juice our own |
4056s | monos lens is uh oh |
4060s | um yeah I think we've we've got some |
4063s | other stuff planned for similar style of |
4066s | things that we're working on right now |
4069s | for a future update that'll be a lot of |
4072s | fun |
4080s | but not specifically like |
4082s | that little little little we're put our |
4084s | own twist on it you |
4091s | know uh this is just a weird one-handed |
4094s | intro into the stream a one hour int one |
4098s | hander 1 hour into the stream yeah yeah |
4101s | yeah yeah |
4106s | only 4 minutes behind really |
4111s | wonderful |
4115s | wonderful finally hitting my stride |
4118s | leveling smoothly instead of uh handicap |
4121s | and not knowing |
4126s | it |
4129s | impossible yeah that's a big lead |
4145s | his dots |
4149s | hurt now got better Lee I just got to |
4151s | keep |
4155s | attacking |
4157s | uh hi with the huge amount of uniques |
4159s | that drop in the game can we get an |
4162s | option to shatter them to get some |
4164s | special resource we can use on something |
4166s | else creative thank you yeah so this is |
4168s | something we we've we this this gets |
4170s | suggested uh very very frequently um |
4174s | like there's there's different different |
4176s | variants on it |
4179s | um I can't M maybe it's kind of it's the |
4183s | answer is always maybe and um a big part |
4187s | of it is how um how we |
4196s | It's tricky to incentivize picking up |
4198s | every single unique in the in the very |
4200s | late game so like you're you're going |
4202s | through the campaign you're picking up |
4203s | every single unique you're going through |
4204s | the early end game you're picking up |
4205s | every single unique and that's fine um |
4207s | cuz there's not that many dropping |
4208s | really as soon as uniques have an |
4211s | intrinsic resource that can be utilized |
4213s | for um like any build no matter how bad |
4218s | the unique is like you pick it up and |
4219s | it's it's um it's one step towards |
4223s | ultimate item seven um it |
4228s | is it it it creates a burden of picking |
4231s | up every single unique um and sometimes |
4234s | you can get to situations where there's |
4236s | 20 30 uniques on the ground and you |
4237s | don't have room in your inventory for 20 |
4239s | or 30 uniques um and that's kind of a |
4243s | situation we want to avoid a little |
4246s | bit |
4248s | um so we we |
4251s | have like kind |
4254s | of caution away from that like like |
4258s | having having a a solid like reason to |
4261s | pick up every single unique it's kind of |
4263s | the same reason we or it's one of the |
4265s | contributing reasons to why we haven't |
4266s | put in a like put 10 zero LP uniques in |
4271s | and get a one LP unique out and put 101 |
4273s | LP uniques in and get a two unique out |
4275s | two LP unique out and put 5002 LP |
4277s | uniques and you know like like we we |
4278s | haven't put that in for for a similar |
4280s | reason um that's one of the contributing |
4283s | reason |
4287s | uh let's just put all them |
4290s | in |
4293s | and at the same time um you know it does |
4296s | feel kind of bad to leave some uniques |
4299s | on the |
4301s | ground you walk away from unique and |
4303s | it's this big shining beam and you're |
4304s | like would be nice to something I can do |
4306s | with that um so at the same time I think |
4309s | there's I think there's room for some |
4311s | sort of system that has uh like a a a |
4316s | sliding scale of usefulness as you get |
4319s | further into the game for uh for uniques |
4322s | So |
4322s | like um I |
4325s | guess maybe |
4327s | uh like like really rare uniques having |
4330s | more use |
4332s | or uh really really common uniques being |
4335s | less useful in some sort of breakdown |
4338s | system as you get later into the game |
4339s | would probably need to be part of the |
4341s | system um I guess I guess the sort of |
4343s | like um the analogous thing I can talk |
4346s | about in other games is like Diablo 2 |
4348s | you you drop an L Rune at the start of |
4349s | of Diablo 2 and you pick it up cuz you |
4351s | know you combine three of those you get |
4352s | an L Rune um |
4355s | and you know it doesn't matter how high |
4357s | you combine |
4362s | those um at at a certain point as you |
4365s | get through to the end you get into the |
4367s | end game and you're like you're like |
4368s | level 95 and you're not picking up L |
4370s | runes anymore no one cares about them |
4373s | even though they are technically one one |
4375s | billionth of a bur run or whatever you |
4378s | know so I think there's I think there's |
4380s | a lot of there there's probably some |
4383s | room for a system along those same lines |
4386s | where you know uniques are useful to |
4389s | pick up um even if you're not going to |
4390s | use them for some other purpose |
4393s | but still having the lower level ones |
4396s | not |
4396s | be you know valuable enough to bother |
4399s | picking up and do the do the thing with |
4401s | cuz you might as well just keep running |
4402s | and find a new one that's better |
4407s | and that's that's a little bit with the |
4408s | a similar thing with the sliding scale |
4409s | of what legendary potential was designed |
4411s | to be as well to make these low level |
4413s | uniques viable in the end game it's kind |
4416s | of a similar it's kind of the other the |
4418s | other the other side of that same |
4432s | coin I I do I there was was an idea that |
4435s | came up a few months ago um that was |
4438s | around uh basically Grail Quest and |
4441s | having that be a functional thing for |
4443s | upgrading in some way where you can like |
4444s | a gr Quest is like finding every unique |
4446s | item in the game so like um every unique |
4450s | item only applies once sort of thing I I |
4452s | think that'll be fun |
4454s | um I don't think it would really be able |
4456s | to have too |
4458s | much |
4460s | um impact on mechanics without us us |
4464s | making some changes to how do um I guess |
4468s | later |
4470s | game |
4472s | uh like unique Target farming I think |
4475s | just because you'd end up you could |
4476s | really easily and it would also have to |
4478s | be a um a system that had diminishing |
4481s | returns on it because you know as as you |
4484s | collect more of them it becomes harder |
4485s | to find the ones you're missing and so |
4487s | we need we need to have better ways to |
4488s | Target Farm specific uniques for a |
4489s | system like that and we'd have to have |
4491s | diminishing returns on it so it wouldn't |
4492s | be less punishing we like I've got one |
4494s | left to go I found 400 of these you know |
4497s | that sort of thing is just that just |
4498s | feels bad that's that's that's makes |
4500s | makes for a great Reddit post you know |
4503s | we do want to get down there |
4508s | actually uh I should have grab that cuz |
4509s | I want |
4512s | that I want my leech I want my leech |
4525s | uh can we please have an option to hide |
4527s | Helms on appearance tab oh my gosh |
4529s | please |
4536s | right I'm with |
4541s | you I mean the the the the silly way to |
4545s | do it is to put uh MTX in the game that |
4547s | is just like a nothing helmet |
4559s | and just make it free for |
4568s | everyone I'm in here now and I'm like oh |
4570s | should I put something else on I'm going |
4573s | to put on the crystal |
4576s | Crown it's kind of as close to nothing |
4578s | as we're going to get I don't know if |
4579s | that fits but I like |
4584s | it look looking in a |
4597s | mirror uh what do you think about |
4599s | removing move speed as an aex off boot |
4601s | since it's pretty much instant take for |
4603s | any build any base Mo speed like 025 per |
4605s | level or something to make up for it um |
4609s | I don't I don't think it is auto take on |
4612s | everything um I mean most things do yes |
4616s | [Music] |
4619s | um but I don't know I think I think it |
4621s | feels really good to get |
4623s | that um that that those pair of boots |
4626s | that you know like you you you put them |
4628s | on you're like moving this slow and you |
4631s | find that pair of boots you're like yeah |
4632s | moving faster and that's not actually |
4633s | that big of a difference but you know |
4634s | what I mean um when you do find those |
4636s | big moov speed |
4637s | boots speaking of which I need to find |
4639s | some big moov sweet boots I think that I |
4641s | think having those those |
4644s | um I I think we really want to do the |
4646s | exact opposite of what you're suggesting |
4647s | here actually specifically because I |
4648s | think having those jumps especially on |
4649s | things like movement speed I think |
4651s | movement speed is like the poster child |
4652s | for for this argument actually um and |
4655s | and having it be in bigger jumps is it |
4658s | it feels more impactful and it feels |
4661s | more significant when you know it goes |
4663s | from like 1 to 10 you can you can really |
4667s | get that |
4670s | um you can you can feel that impact a |
4673s | lot better |
4677s | let Tank |
4685s | this |
4686s | [Applause] |
4702s | impossible upgrade |
4706s | I kind like why am I doing this but you |
4707s | know that's why |
4730s | [Music] |
4732s | apparently we got to go back to the |
4734s | council chambers at some point soon |
4744s | here a little Jump Ahead |
4748s | here uh circle of Fortune allows a |
4750s | certain level of Target farming have you |
4752s | considered I suppose you did allowing to |
4754s | Target Farm specific |
4756s | affixes |
4758s | uh yes we considered it um |
4763s | there's and you you can you can |
4767s | influence the aix's and so you |
4772s | can it it is is a tricky thing cuz I |
4774s | think sometimes there's a a divide |
4776s | between like what Target farming means |
4779s | and I think target farming to me means |
4782s | just increasing the chance that you're |
4783s | going to get the thing you want |
4787s | um there's like and I think to some |
4790s | people it means something a little |
4791s | different I think some people it means |
4793s | like deterministic loot |
4797s | um which which I think is a little bit |
4800s | different I I think target farming is |
4802s | like hey I'm going to do what I can to |
4805s | increase my chance of getting this thing |
4807s | that I want so that I find it |
4809s | faster um and we do we do already have |
4812s | that um for for specific axes you got |
4815s | you got say like the category of axes |
4817s | but like if you want to increase your |
4818s | chances of finding any individual AIC |
4821s | you |
4821s | can um |
4834s | and then I think there's room for new |
4836s | systems that do that A Little Bit |
4844s | Stronger |
4846s | um I'm definitely not alluding to |
4849s | something that we've talked about cuz |
4850s | it's so far out that it would be |
4851s | irresponsible to tease it this far out |
4859s | um hey raing party welcome we don't get |
4862s | one of those every |
4864s | day glad to have you with |
4866s | us take a load |
4869s | off stay while have a |
4872s | chat it'll be fun I |
4878s | swear all |
4880s | right uh Rune words Enigma lowle PVP |
4884s | please no moic though I like Mosaic it's |
4887s | fun |
4889s | um low lowle dueling I would love to |
4892s | have lowle D dueling oh my goodness I |
4895s | think low-l dueling is was it was my |
4897s | favorite part of of of PVP in general |
4903s | um no my favorite part of PVP in in D2 |
4906s | was was playing a PVP character in |
4910s | random uh like farming groups and and |
4915s | have people show up and try and and try |
4916s | and uh grief you and be like well I'm |
4919s | geared for PVP let's go |
4922s | buddy uh that that that that's my |
4924s | favorite part of |
4926s | that but you know that that was much |
4929s | more uh related to like the the general |
4932s | aesthetic of D2 and its PVP system and |
4934s | you know like you're it's very um H this |
4939s | it's |
4941s | more uh |
4947s | like it's almost like the game world is |
4949s | is trying to corrupt you as a player and |
4952s | and that's very thematic and appropriate |
4953s | and |
4969s | awesome and I and I'm |
4973s | like h on one of my if not my favorite |
4976s | game of all time I think Enigma was a |
4978s | terrible |
4981s | mistake I I know it's I know it's |
4983s | ridiculous I think it's I think it is |
4985s | too |
4997s | good I think it is one of the most fun |
4999s | things to get you know like it is it is |
5002s | truly awesome |
5007s | it's just so good and they I think |
5009s | they've done a lot of really good stuff |
5011s | at um and a lot of a lot of the |
5013s | community mods do a lot of really good |
5014s | stuff to improve this as well by by just |
5016s | giving other other options and I think |
5019s | that if there had been a longer um like |
5022s | active development after nigma was added |
5024s | they eventually would have got the same |
5026s | same space I |
5030s | think all right how about a dungeon |
5032s | where you can dump all uniques that you |
5034s | don't want want and it crafts a dungeon |
5036s | specific unique I mean yeah so that it |
5038s | kind of has the similar issue of like |
5040s | bring all your uniques together and like |
5043s | you still picking up every |
5047s | unique hey freeze rate multiplier in |
5050s | there ah and Mana that's actually pretty |
5051s | thematically appropriate and you know |
5054s | useful for that but oof these other ones |
5071s | fren |
5076s | Ste uh don't forget to add me to the |
5079s | questions yeah put ask depac game in the |
5081s | questions |
5084s | [Music] |
5087s | please uh have you guys done much |
5089s | discussion internally so |
5092s | much I'll read the rest of the question |
5094s | sorry on what ability to give Lich yeah |
5096s | we have um I think there's I think we've |
5098s | we've got a pretty solid idea it's not |
5100s | finalized it's not like built yet and |
5103s | past initial testing stuff like initial |
5105s | um like fun check yet but it is uh I |
5108s | think I think we've I think we know what |
5110s | the skills roughly going to be |
5115s | um assuming that it ends up being fun um |
5119s | but yeah I think we have a good idea on |
5121s | what the next Lich ability is going to |
5122s | be I'm pretty confident it |
5127s | um i' very much like to see something |
5128s | that helps enable hybrid minion builds |
5130s | more utilizing infernal shade Harvest |
5133s | Golem and zombies perhaps an alternative |
5135s | to reperform I don't think there'll be |
5137s | an alternative to |
5138s | reperform um I I think let I think |
5142s | reperform is going to remain at least at |
5144s | least for a little while as as the only |
5147s | acolyte transform |
5150s | ability |
5152s | um I will say that there was that like |
5154s | the it was there I have seen what I |
5157s | thought were very promising pitches for |
5159s | more ACO transform abilities um I just |
5161s | don't think that's going to be the next |
5162s | one for LGE next ability for |
5168s | ledge the one I really want to |
5171s | see is is |
5173s | [Applause] |
5175s | like um I I I really I really want to |
5177s | see some sort I don't I don't think I I |
5179s | don't know how we could do this right |
5181s | now we don't have a way of doing it yet |
5183s | um but like some sort of hybrid minion |
5185s | transformability |
5187s | like where you climb inside of it like |
5189s | mech suit |
5192s | style I don't know how we can do it I |
5194s | don't know like we we don't have a way |
5195s | to do it right now uh if we ever come |
5197s | with a good way to do it that's that's |
5198s | I'll be pushing for |
5203s | hard like kind kind of like |
5208s | uh a temporary like it's only got so |
5210s | much gas and you in the tank and you got |
5212s | a not actually gas but it's almost got |
5214s | only got got so much gas in the tanks |
5215s | you hop in and |
5217s | it's Oh I thought it was going to make a |
5219s | sweet |
5225s | jump nice time level up epic shards will |
5229s | take them no room oh it's a full |
5233s | inventory we do not need |
5239s | this uh give me give me give me some |
5241s | more |
5242s | leech I love a little a little bit Le |
5246s | just a little |
5248s | bit can you please make new mechanics |
5251s | like Mage and Mage is a nemesis to spawn |
5254s | in all zones for the cycle where they |
5256s | were introduced uh and are there plans |
5258s | to have a way to increase chances of old |
5260s | mechanics to spawn |
5262s | um I I don't think we have plans to have |
5266s | ways to to let you manipulate which |
5268s | mechanics spawn just yet um that's not |
5273s | true uh not not next |
5276s | patch um but I think that |
5279s | yeah um I think we are interested in |
5282s | having ways to |
5284s | adjust I'm like remembering things we |
5287s | were just talking about yesterday um yes |
5290s | I I think there's H having ways to on |
5293s | once we have more |
5295s | mechanics |
5297s | uh having ways to say like hey I really |
5299s | want more of this one hey I really want |
5301s | more of this one I think would be would |
5303s | be useful |
5305s | um and yes we are planning more |
5307s | mechanics like like Nemesis and mages |
5312s | um some some of them some of them will |
5315s | so I think the the Nemesis is a little |
5316s | bit High scope |
5320s | um both like individual player |
5323s | interactions so like uh every time you |
5326s | find one of them like there's there's |
5327s | that menu that opens up things you have |
5328s | to do with it and then um the amount of |
5331s | power that it generates as well all |
5333s | those things combined make it a little |
5335s | heavy of a system to have in every |
5336s | single zone um I think if we were going |
5339s | to have Nemesis in every single zone |
5340s | we'd probably tone it down a little bit |
5342s | maybe like um one less item slot maybe |
5345s | you couldn't actually maybe the egg |
5346s | would would disappear type thing you |
5347s | know things like that where it was just |
5348s | like um a little bit more streamlined a |
5351s | little bit less |
5353s | decision-making would would probably be |
5355s | what needed to happen to make it be in |
5356s | every Zone type mechanic |
5359s | um a lot of it comes down to testing |
5363s | though oh my God it came to life no one |
5365s | could have seen that coming |
5369s | and uh was I going to say yeah we so we |
5373s | we are we are looking at more mechanics |
5375s | in that category |
5377s | um there's there's one we just we just |
5381s | slipped in that's very low scope |
5386s | um tons of |
5388s | fun uh and then there's there's there's |
5391s | pitches for more of those that we're |
5392s | doing next week |
5396s | uh and the one I'm pitching is every |
5399s | single zone |
5400s | already uh so yeah like the this is what |
5404s | I was talking about a little earlier in |
5405s | the Stream I think the biggest criticism |
5406s | we had from the Nemesis system was um |
5410s | was was that it wasn't in every Zone and |
5412s | people wanted it in every |
5415s | Zone |
5421s | um impossible I think in instead of |
5425s | changing n instead of like stripping NE |
5427s | Nemesis down and putting in every Zone |
5428s | I'd be more interested in having just a |
5430s | little bit more information on which |
5433s | zones it is in um so you so so you're |
5436s | less wondering if it's there or |
5438s | not um the wondering if it's there or |
5441s | not does help incentivize exploration a |
5443s | little bit to be like o should I check a |
5444s | little bit more to see if there's one |
5445s | maybe maybe not |
5450s | um which is something that we do like I |
5453s | I I think there's a lot of things that |
5455s | kind of need to work together to make |
5456s | that a lot of fun though |
5459s | um so there some other stuff that's |
5461s | going to happen first I don't think I |
5462s | can jump oh we'll let me jump that |
5472s | sweet okay I don't know why I was so |
5475s | confused there I |
5482s | was yeah just challenge it and get the |
5491s | stuff not really what we're looking for |
5493s | this point in our leveling |
5502s | process I should I should go look at the |
5504s | legendaries I have and see if there's |
5506s | anything that's |
5507s | like twinked out to use |
5530s | forgot about the live stream how could |
5532s | you I you wound |
5537s | me it's quite all right |
5546s | uh any more improvements to the auction |
5548s | house next cycle yeah there's still more |
5549s | improvements to the auction house coming |
5552s | um there's there's more UI updates |
5554s | coming there's I honestly I'm not 100% |
5556s | sure which ones have rolled out yet or |
5557s | not um but there are more UI updates |
5560s | coming there's more um search |
5562s | functionality coming there's more |
5562s | sorting functionality coming there |
5564s | there's there's there's stuff coming um |
5567s | it's been a little slow because we've |
5568s | had to change some database stuff and |
5569s | some um some server stuff and some API |
5572s | stuff and some you know there's there's |
5574s | there there's things we've had to to fix |
5576s | to make this functional the way it needs |
5578s | to be |
5586s | functional all right when will spr and |
5588s | form be able to use a fifth useful |
5592s | skill uh right now for most spren builds |
5595s | the fifth skill slot is meh at best |
5597s | since you can't trigger them while |
5599s | transformed um I mean you can I I think |
5602s | the expectation is to slap a a companion |
5604s | in there right |
5609s | now cuz that's always |
5613s | good this red shred bleed |
5621s | chance there more |
5623s | damage don't think we going to bother |
5625s | going to the lightning or the panther |
5626s | section as much |
5639s | [Applause] |
5647s | maybe I'll think of something cool when |
5648s | I play it next cycle this freaking |
5660s | form uh wear forg guard armor as |
5663s | alternative for me yeah like that's what |
5665s | I think like like you want to be Iron |
5666s | Man all right be Iron |
5682s | Man all |
5684s | right uh what what if the last laugh |
5687s | laugh when it killed an |
5692s | enemy uh |
5695s | or tell a little joke give you humorous |
5697s | weapons like soulcaliber yeah I it's a |
5699s | cool idea I really like that |
5702s | um I think it would have to be what |
5705s | comes to mind uh there there was a |
5707s | weapon a slingshot in Dark Soul uh Dark |
5710s | Cloud Dark Souls Dark Cloud um called uh |
5715s | Steve and it talked to you as you played |
5721s | um I love things like that |
5726s | how about just a small teaser for |
5728s | primordial uniques |
5734s | nope you have to be very |
5743s | patient |
5750s | impossible uh will we get the uniques |
5752s | with their own skill trees in the future |
5754s | I think so I think that's that's |
5755s | something that's I think likely to |
5757s | happen um we don't have we don't have |
5759s | the system functional right now um and |
5761s | there's no specific ones like on the |
5764s | horizon there's no task to actually make |
5765s | that system but I think I think that's |
5768s | enough of a sort of |
5770s | like Nob brainer awesome system like |
5773s | yeah that's just cool um and we've I |
5776s | think figured out a way to make it be |
5779s | possible um I think chances of it |
5782s | happening at some point are pretty high |
5784s | um chance of it happening really soon I |
5787s | think are |
5798s | low are there any plans to balance LP in |
5800s | slamming in a way that most of the time |
5802s | failed three LP slams is 100% worse than |
5804s | successful one LP slam with desired aics |
5809s | um I I I don't I don't know the best way |
5812s | to get through uh through that cuz |
5816s | it's it's very very rare that that |
5821s | happens that that three full affixes are |
5825s | not at least comparable to one |
5827s | individual AIX and at a three times the |
5831s | chance likely |
5832s | to to get that one AIX on the three like |
5835s | it's it's very rare that that situation |
5837s | actually happens and I know everyone |
5839s | who's had that happen more than once is |
5840s | screaming at me going it's not that rare |
5843s | it happened to me last week or something |
5844s | it happened to me yesterday and and it |
5846s | it does happen |
5854s | um I I was I was thinking about this |
5858s | yesterday actually and I I |
5859s | think I don't know what we're going to |
5861s | do about it um I think right now my |
5864s | opinion on the matter is that um having |
5866s | some way to reclaim half of it would be |
5869s | would be probably |
5872s | healthy um |
5878s | I you would have to cost something there |
5879s | may need to be a downside of some sort |
5881s | but having some way to to reclaim half |
5884s | it I'm I'm sort |
5886s | of the reason why I was thinking this is |
5889s | you like back to D2 again let's talk |
5891s | about that you know the you're making a |
5893s | rune word and it comes out |
5895s | terrible um and and you slap uh like |
5899s | you're trying to get that |
5900s | perfect um fcr on your spirit Shield um |
5904s | and you and you you only have one |
5907s | perfect Monarch Shield um with with with |
5910s | percent on it and everything and you're |
5911s | like okay well I'm going |
5913s | to I wouldn't have percent but still |
5915s | like um you you want to get your the the |
5920s | proper fcr on it so you |
5922s | um slap a hell run and |
5927s | uh uh a TV scroll in the cube and it is |
5931s | um you get the base back to reuse it |
5933s | again you know something something like |
5934s | that I think would be good if if we |
5937s | could reclaim something if if if if if |
5940s | we could do something like that it would |
5942s | it would have to be the unique that came |
5944s | back and not the |
5945s | exalted |
5947s | um and like you know you think about a |
5950s | system you like that you're like okay |
5951s | does it have to come back with one less |
5952s | LP now maybe that would feel pretty |
5955s | trash is it worth it to do if that's the |
5958s | case um so there's a lot that we need to |
5960s | go into figuring out how something like |
5961s | that could work um |
5964s | I do like the |
5968s | idea having at least some way you could |
5970s | reclaim part of |
5972s | it would have to have a cost |
5981s | [Applause] |
5998s | I think I think it's also tricky cuz |
6000s | part of that cost might end up being |
6003s | like it was was also part of thinking |
6006s | about this as well was maybe having it |
6008s | be required to happen immediately where |
6011s | you're like you slam it it doesn't get |
6013s | what you want you're like okay I'm going |
6015s | to decide right now if I want to |
6016s | actually take this item with me or like |
6019s | REO back in time or yeah like go back |
6023s | back in time again and it's still there |
6027s | um but like half of the half of it half |
6030s | the pieces are |
6032s | missing something like |
6044s | that or you can put like another key in |
6046s | and get half of it out or something I |
6048s | don't know |
6055s | or you can like pay someone else that's |
6057s | there like an NPC to go back in time and |
6059s | create a Time Paradox to pull it out for |
6061s | you and it causes an unstable Vortex |
6064s | that that destroys half the item but it |
6066s | comes back without I don't |
6068s | know now we're just making stuff |
6071s | up uh when do you think the engine |
6073s | upgrade update will happen last stream |
6075s | you said you already had some people |
6076s | working with it already cheers it's |
6078s | going to be a while still don't don't |
6079s | hold your breath on this don't |
6082s | um I I was more just talking about just |
6085s | to say like hey it's like we're working |
6087s | on it um it is actively progressing you |
6090s | know it's going forward things are good |
6092s | but it is going to be while still um the |
6094s | next major release will like the next |
6097s | the next time the cycle or like the |
6098s | ladder resets will probably not uh |
6101s | included it'll probably not come in the |
6102s | next ladder reset so |
6107s | um if I if I had to get if if like if I |
6111s | really had to guess um next year the |
6114s | earliest would be my guess like it's |
6116s | going it's going to be a while before we |
6117s | actually |
6119s | see uh a public release build with that |
6122s | I think I it might be going better than |
6124s | I think I don't know but like it's going |
6126s | to be a while |
6127s | still it's one of those things where um |
6131s | like I'm sure you guys have noticed it |
6132s | it happens every once in a while where |
6134s | like we'll we'll we'll fix something and |
6136s | a related bug will pop up and you know |
6139s | like cuz we we checked ABC but we didn't |
6141s | check DF that was kind of tangentially |
6144s | related or somehow behind the scenes was |
6146s | related but it doesn't seem like it's |
6147s | related at all and I I think that the |
6151s | like that that type of regression |
6153s | testing is going to be really important |
6154s | to complete Game wide over and over and |
6157s | over again |
6159s | um for for such a big update |
6177s | but yeah we are doing like there was an |
6179s | internal build that uh we were testing a |
6183s | specific new feature for um just a |
6186s | couple days ago and it had it was done |
6187s | with the new version went |
6191s | great I think I make stuff bleed enough |
6194s | and this stuff makes stuff bleed enough |
6195s | so damage against bleeding targets and |
6197s | bleed and St like that sounds great |
6206s | can't remember where I'm supposed to go |
6207s | here |
6211s | though |
6215s | um is red |
6222s | shred can I just have all the nodes |
6227s | please be boring |
6234s | all right when will stash search options |
6237s | be improved uh can we eventually get a |
6239s | sort of filter that applies to stash and |
6241s | the inventory as well yeah I think the I |
6243s | think the goal the ultimate goal here is |
6244s | to have the is to have the loot filter |
6247s | apply to your stash and your |
6249s | inventory um |
6252s | optionally |
6254s | and um I I know we don't have that |
6256s | functionality right now but I think |
6257s | that's the ultimate goal |
6265s | impossible I think it might have to end |
6267s | up being like uh a temporary like press |
6271s | this press and hold this button and it |
6272s | like it's there while you're holding the |
6274s | button type thing but as soon as you |
6276s | like go it turns off again or something |
6278s | like that I don't |
6281s | know cuz there are some performance |
6283s | concerns there |
6292s | [Music] |
6300s | uh speaking of sprig form and |
6303s | companion choosing a spring and |
6305s | companion feels good early in the game |
6307s | because of the uh chance to crit but |
6310s | later in the game it feels impossible to |
6312s | keep her alive is it by Design or can we |
6314s | expect changes I mean |
6315s | it's your your minions should |
6318s | be um you know |
6323s | keeping your minions alive should be |
6325s | something that you either need to |
6328s | um put into your build or be prepared to |
6332s | do mechanically in the game you know |
6334s | like so so you should be prepared to be |
6336s | taking like defensive minion stats and |
6339s | axes and uh passives and skill points |
6343s | and things like that or you should be |
6344s | prepared to be like going into the |
6346s | revive circles and and Reviving them |
6348s | that sort of |
6350s | thing |
6351s | um but if neither of those are options |
6354s | then yeah that's not |
6365s | ideal Dark Cloud was your favorite PS2 |
6368s | game growing up about you so much next |
6370s | week |
6371s | SS Dark Cloud is uh is one of those |
6375s | games that like I feel pretty confident |
6378s | like Diablo II most Civilization games |
6382s | just not three or one |
6384s | uh and and like Dark Cloud I feel like I |
6386s | can hang in just about any conversation |
6388s | about those games in |
6391s | great 10 I want to say we we had a we |
6394s | had a project in in a writing class that |
6396s | I was in that was like it was write |
6399s | write something big whatever you want it |
6401s | was an entire semester project |
6404s | um and I wrote like 150 page strategy |
6409s | guide for Dark Cloud 1 |
6416s | that was that was a long time ago but |
6418s | recently I just went and replayed it and |
6419s | I'm like I don't even need a guide now |
6421s | somehow I remember this |
6429s | all they bring it on dark cl's the best |
6432s | dark CL 2 is also awesome but dark CL |
6434s | one was something |
6437s | special that's that's a game that I |
6439s | would love a remake of |
6449s | uh do you guys think about adding a a |
6451s | way to play more than one echo in a row |
6454s | while the reward Stacks up a bunch of |
6455s | people think that browsing Echoes is a |
6457s | waste of time um I think it would be |
6465s | hm we don't have something like that |
6467s | plann right |
6471s | now but I can understand the he |
6476s | back uh the problem about failed 3 LP |
6479s | slams is that it mostly applies to |
6482s | extremely rare 3 LP uniques like the |
6484s | ones that drop one and three four 37,000 |
6487s | with a reroll Chance big uh big high top |
6489s | on top of it it's painful to fail |
6491s | something like this and I'm running |
6493s | around circles right |
6496s | now do I only have to do one of them |
6501s | now I I I knew that we changed that so |
6505s | they only had to do |
6507s | one on just let me let me let me do I oh |
6517s | no thought we fix that too okay we're |
6520s | getting |
6522s | there uh what I trying to |
6527s | say we're talking about more stuff with |
6529s | the really super rare 3 LP stuff |
6537s | yeah like the chance that fail is |
6540s | 25% |
6546s | um all I was saying is that I think it's |
6548s | really rare that that that failing |
6551s | that is like dramatically worse |
6556s | than uh succeeding the one LP roll of |
6559s | the same item |
6560s | [Applause] |
6567s | like if you're loading up the item with |
6569s | with four useful |
6573s | affixes and getting three useful affixes |
6577s | has got to be at least in the same |
6578s | ballpark as one the per as the perfect |
6580s | one AIX |
6583s | right |
6587s | is and I'm sure there's situations where |
6589s | that's not true but like for the most |
6591s | part that should probably be true |
6601s | uh are you guys going to Nerf the or |
6602s | change remove the zombie experimental |
6605s | mod on Belt some creators some content |
6607s | creators think so for next patch I don't |
6610s | have any information on the status of |
6612s | potential balance changes for upcoming |
6615s | [Applause] |
6617s | patches you came back |
6623s | I'm sure this has been asked a million |
6624s | times that's okay but is there any road |
6627s | map for improving animations and the |
6629s | general feel of movement in combat |
6630s | things feel better late game but |
6632s | everything still feels so stiff um I |
6634s | mean we're always looking at improving |
6636s | everything so |
6639s | yes |
6643s | uh yep just one I still can't figure out |
6645s | the Repro oh no I don't know what that |
6646s | was for you can tell me later |
6651s | though uh how I do you feel how do you |
6654s | feel about minion Army builds in last |
6656s | Epoch squirrel wolves kind of work for |
6658s | BM though every Army build Falls flat at |
6661s | some point just feel because we don't |
6663s | have a way to make means survive while |
6665s | also doing high damage and Corruption |
6667s | not even too high 300 plus is already a |
6669s | problem for negro 500 plus for squirrels |
6671s | should we have more Avenues to make them |
6672s | survive or do you think they are in a |
6674s | good state right now I think that's I |
6675s | think that's like right in the pocket |
6680s | [Applause] |
6692s | like it sounds like you're describing |
6694s | like they might be like a tiny bit |
6697s | undertuned maybe but sounds |
6706s | great is dead all of this is free |
6724s | oh those |
6727s | hurt those hurt |
6732s | too good thing I'm not still using the |
6735s | uh actual scary GL |
6738s | boots you missed the start of the stream |
6740s | my goodness I was accidentally wearing |
6742s | the veteran boots and did not realize it |
6745s | cuz I haven't played this character in |
6750s | months I was dying like crazy couldn't |
6753s | figure out why I'm like all right I'm |
6754s | going to go upgrade my |
6757s | gear figured it |
6759s | out |
6771s | new hey belt oh piece of |
6778s | candy council chambers got to go back |
6782s | and in some side |
6786s | quests going go up |
6793s | first any plans for farming blessings it |
6796s | feels bad to stop andir corruption go |
6798s | for a blessing in a timeline that you |
6800s | didn't played SLC corrupted much |
6806s | I the seek out the I mean there's some |
6809s | pretty intense corruption catchup |
6811s | mechanics that play right now show |
6814s | her the rest will be so probably know |
6817s | more than there already is like |
6820s | it's if if you've got if you've got a |
6822s | corruption like if you've got one time |
6825s | that's really far ahead in corruption |
6826s | and you um want to go get |
6830s | another um a blessing from another |
6833s | timeline that's too low corruption you |
6834s | just bump the corruption on that one up |
6836s | really |
6837s | quickly and then and then Farm it at |
6840s | that at higher corruption so you're |
6841s | still getting good stuff so Pro probably |
6843s | not |
6848s | um yeah |
6851s | yes stay |
6854s | safe I |
6856s | see if you're unaware there is a very |
6860s | significant eruption catchup mechanic |
6865s | oh what's this forging never heard of |
6870s | it what do you |
6872s | want impossible still don't know why |
6875s | there's a chest |
6881s | there okay let's see if we can let's see |
6883s | if we can grab some some some |
6889s | uh some things there improved |
6898s | okay that's probably significant |
6900s | Improvement |
6904s | yeah |
6913s | yeah yeah I mean we lose a Little Fizz |
6917s | damage but we gain a ton of other stuff |
6922s | this just a better vers crit avoidance |
6925s | version of what I'm wearing |
6929s | sure oh not that |
6939s | one I |
6942s | mean that could be |
6944s | cool let's give that a shot |
6953s | drop these |
6956s | off tab is full |
6960s | no it won't even |
6965s | sort uh how do I do |
6973s | this Legendary |
6976s | Legendary garbage |
6979s | Legendary Legendary |
6989s | I should probably just |
6994s | even let's just use up the last little |
6997s | bit of |
7026s | those items so |
7029s | bad do do we have a better chest of that |
7032s | somewhere we must have a better chest of |
7033s | that in here my |
7041s | goodness you just that's better right |
7043s | now isn't |
7047s | it |
7054s | yep way too low level for any of |
7071s | these yeah good enough moving on we got |
7075s | to go back to council chambers don't |
7077s | we uh ruined council |
7082s | chambers more |
7084s | [Music] |
7086s | questions uh seef prophecies inter up |
7088s | gameplay a lot do you have to you have |
7090s | to stop playing and spend a lot of time |
7091s | rolling prophecies any chance of getting |
7094s | alternative mechanics in the future that |
7095s | fulfill the same function but are more |
7096s | enjoyable or don't interrupt gameplay so |
7098s | much I mean |
7103s | it's it's it is kind of intentional |
7106s | there is some uh breakup to what's |
7109s | happening it might be a little too |
7112s | much do not dwell May ter smile upon you |
7127s | well but we we're always trying to make |
7129s | the game better so |
7130s | sure uh hi Mike hope you are having a |
7133s | nice day I remember when you mentioned |
7135s | that ehg had plans to change SL tweak |
7138s | the crit |
7140s | mechanic uh set your Source please uh |
7143s | any news or Insight on this topic maybe |
7145s | thank you no I have no idea what you're |
7146s | talking about |
7148s | sorry all right if you weren't limited |
7150s | by money or time what is the single |
7152s | biggest thing you would love to add to |
7153s | the game procedural generation zones in |
7155s | every area uh well not in every area |
7157s | sorry um in in the end game and like |
7160s | full monolith procedural generation |
7166s | and and Zone persistence procedural |
7168s | generation and Zone |
7189s | persistence oh I know what crit thing |
7191s | you're talking about about I know what |
7194s | crit thing you're talking about this is |
7196s | the um removing increased Critical |
7199s | Strike chance as an AIX in the game yes |
7203s | yes yes yes yeah and you've just said it |
7206s | too mean the percent crit chance it only |
7209s | the plus yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah |
7211s | sorry I'm with you I got there um I |
7214s | think it got kind of got paused but I I |
7216s | think it's still um one it's one of |
7218s | those things like yeah we're still going |
7219s | to do it um |
7222s | but just a bajillion other things to |
7224s | work on right |
7233s | now okay our damage just went through |
7235s | the flipping |
7248s | roof where you going get back here where |
7251s | you going where do you think you're |
7253s | going huh |
7265s | huh uh generally the way players are |
7269s | forced |
7270s | to just and infinitely roll prophecies |
7274s | that are not even item targeted is super |
7277s | painful I feel like adding lenses for |
7279s | specific items are mandatory also |
7281s | bringing up the the one LP prophecies |
7283s | are just useless you got to change that |
7286s | cool uh with D4 expansion in October and |
7289s | pe2 in November should we expect a |
7291s | December 3rd cycle for uh Le um I I have |
7295s | no specific details on |
7298s | upcoming dates for anything Le available |
7300s | at the time I'm |
7311s | sorry and hoping that we'll have a |
7313s | proper announcement on like the next the |
7316s | the next dates on things pretty soon um |
7318s | what do we atunement not bad not good |
7323s | we're strength boys aren't we oh we got |
7326s | a te on the |
7331s | Raptor strength the |
7336s | S uh one month ago I break three 2lp |
7340s | build enabling weapons that would have |
7342s | each giv me the motivation to build a |
7343s | new character from scratch uh losing the |
7346s | four out of six gamble three times in a |
7348s | row uh each item took me like 15 plus |
7351s | hours to get it was just fed up that |
7353s | since then I didn't reconnect to the |
7354s | game even once would there be in the |
7356s | future any pity mechanic that would |
7357s | prevent such cases from happening um in |
7360s | general we're we're not really huge on |
7362s | pity mechanics but this does go back to |
7363s | what I was talking about I don't know if |
7364s | you were like just tuning in maybe we um |
7367s | I was just I was just talking about this |
7369s | like 10 minutes ago um |
7372s | and we're right near the end of the |
7373s | stream so I don't want to go too deep on |
7374s | it um I I I think the short version is I |
7378s | I would love to see something to um help |
7382s | Salvage the uh the |
7384s | situation when you get in a situation |
7386s | like that I think there's I think I |
7388s | think it's really good that there is a |
7391s | like it's not guaranteed what you're |
7393s | going to get |
7394s | exactly |
7396s | um and the the |
7401s | higher um |
7403s | um the the higher risk ones do have a |
7406s | have a very big chance |
7408s | of like or have a have a chance of |
7411s | becoming very negative experience which |
7413s | is really frustrating um but it kind of |
7417s | takes away from from it if it when like |
7420s | when it when it comes out good it's like |
7422s | without the low you can't have the high |
7423s | you know that sort of thing |
7428s | um and if everyone always hit then it |
7432s | would be really frustrating and I I I |
7434s | understand the like wanting to have some |
7437s | sort of like |
7439s | um protection against it happening |
7441s | multiple times in a row the danger with |
7445s | that so one of the dangers of a Pity |
7446s | mechanic in general is the um if if it |
7451s | for the record I'll take very clearly |
7452s | we've never put a Pity mechanic in the |
7453s | game we don't have any plans to at this |
7455s | point so there's no there's no sense in |
7457s | trying to do what I'm about to say cuz |
7458s | it's not in the game specifically for |
7460s | this reason um if is hypothetically if |
7463s | there was a system in the game whereby |
7465s | um if you like every time you missed a |
7470s | um like like Miss the exalted aics or |
7472s | something like that it increased the |
7474s | chances of hitting the exalted AIC in |
7475s | the next time um there's this there's |
7478s | this uh situation you get into where |
7480s | people will be like okay um in order to |
7482s | in order to try in order to have the |
7483s | best chance to hit on the really |
7485s | important crafts you you you sacrifice |
7489s | crafts you don't care about at all to |
7491s | the system until you get game into a |
7492s | state where the pity mechanic will take |
7494s | into effect so you're like just do just |
7496s | run terrible things through the system |
7498s | just be like I don't care which one hits |
7500s | I don't like I don't care if it's good |
7501s | or bad you just record like oh miss miss |
7503s | and you get three misses in a row great |
7505s | now you go do your good one and having |
7507s | that um like secret obscured burden of |
7512s | optimal play uh mechanic that is just |
7518s | like tedious and kind of painful to deal |
7522s | with is is really something we want to |
7524s | avoid |
7527s | um like like having having guides pop up |
7530s | on YouTube of like hey uh here's here's |
7534s | like crafting explained in last defo but |
7536s | like like endgame crafting and it's like |
7538s | all right now first what you want to do |
7539s | is get 40 uniques that you don't care |
7542s | about that have LP and 40 exalted that |
7544s | go with it all right we're going to |
7545s | craft them all until there's a until you |
7548s | get into a into into a stretch of three |
7551s | failures and then we're going to the |
7552s | good one you like like that would just |
7556s | be like why you know |
7562s | um so hope hopefully that gives a little |
7565s | insight into why we don't do pity |
7566s | mechanics in general |
7570s | um but I do think that there's room for |
7572s | improving the situation a different |
7577s | way bad his res is good better than not |
7585s | we're we're we're just about time a |
7587s | little bit |
7589s | over oh I that chest actually chest in |
7593s | the |
7594s | Waypoint well that's a couple more will |
7596s | there be a new uniques next cycle yes |
7598s | there always new uniques every |
7601s | cycle uh will there be more support or |
7604s | new Weaver Wills uniques um I think |
7609s | there's there is if you look at the road |
7613s | map um I I know it's not perfect right |
7615s | now little little little old but uh |
7618s | there |
7619s | are |
7620s | um oh res not too bad um I think there |
7624s | are some |
7625s | really thematically |
7629s | appropriate uh things on the road map |
7633s | that would suggest a link between |
7637s | Weaver's well items that might be a good |
7640s | time to revisit the system and do stuff |
7643s | to it you never |
7656s | know uh what is the top one thing that |
7659s | you specifically really want to address |
7660s | in leie but don't have the time or |
7663s | agreement for it |
7665s | yet um |
7675s | I |
7678s | mean it's it's it's that's uh it's a |
7680s | hard question the way it's word it cuz |
7682s | like everything that's really important |
7684s | we're making the time for you know um |
7687s | the thing I don't have the agreement for |
7688s | is weapon swap cuz I want weapon swap |
7690s | but no one else does so we're not doing |
7692s | weapon Swap and I know I'm going to live |
7694s | with that it's going to be |
7699s | okay uh now that the end of the stream |
7701s | you real you haven't died once since |
7703s | removing those boots tell us the truth |
7705s | it was to help the Bingo |
7707s | right I have noticed that yes |
7711s | uh touching on the support topic any |
7713s | plans to do more viability to support |
7715s | builds um I mean I don't think we we |
7718s | specifically say like hey this is going |
7719s | to be a support build tool necessarily |
7722s | um but but yeah there's there's there's |
7726s | definitely things that I've put in |
7728s | planning documents recently that were |
7729s | targeted at support play styles didn't |
7732s | say that |
7735s | much that was about do it for me thanks |
7737s | for coming out |
7739s | everybody I had a ton of fun I hope you |
7741s | did too I'll be back same time same |

7755s | um we got a fan screen boom thanks for |
7757s | stopping |
7759s | by oh clots of water I had a great |
7763s | stream today I had a lot of |
7764s | fun still can't believe I had those |
7767s | boots on my |
7772s | goodness oh it's been a while since |
