| 13s | everybody about five minutes |
| 15s | ago I had an audio malfunction so we're |

| 20s | headphones let me know if the uh balance |
| 22s | is okay and |
| 24s | everything we're we're we're we're going |
| 26s | back to we had a little contest a little |
| 27s | while ago and I really enjoyed the the |
| 32s | um the build that I got from it and I've |
| 35s | been playing a very underpowered |
| 37s | character lately so I figured |
| 40s | I'd place it with a little more juice to |
| 42s | it |
| 45s | maybe how's everybody doing if this is |
| 48s | your first time here welcome glad to |
| 49s | have you with us as always we stream for |
| 51s | charity right above my head um if you |
| 54s | have a question for me I'd love to |
| 55s | answer it please put atlast def game in |
| 57s | the question so I can see what it is |
| 63s | just let's just see let's just see how |
| 65s | this does I think this might be easy but |
| 67s | we'll May it's terribly |
| 69s | hard uh yeah so yeah we're going to |
| 72s | we're going to play some last Epoch |
| 73s | we're going to have some |
| 76s | fun we're going to hang out it's about |
| 78s | it |
| 85s | really hello Aaron you guys ready for |
| 88s | launch oh I hope so doing our |
| 93s | best it's going to be it's going to be |
| 95s | it's going to be it it's going to |
| 97s | be very |
| 99s | exciting |
| 101s | um you know there's there's there's |
| 104s | nerves all around um I don't think this |
| 106s | is a world where I wouldn't be nervous |
| 109s | no matter how good things |
| 119s | are |
| 121s | yeah we we've been batting down the |
| 123s | hatches getting the last few little |
| 124s | things |
| 141s | in will sets ever be worth anything or |
| 145s | get LP just use them for like 500 gold |
| 146s | tokens yeah so sets sets have um |
| 150s | some clear shortcomings I think that's a |
| 153s | uncontroversial thing to say |
| 156s | um the the sort of goto like oh why |
| 159s | wouldn't you just do this option that we |
| 161s | get seen a lot is um yeah is is slap LP |
| 165s | on those bad boys good to |
| 169s | go um and I I think that it's kind |
| 174s | of it's it's it's something we could do |
| 176s | yes it's possible it would you know |
| 179s | there'd be problems with it for sure uh |
| 181s | namely in the the length of set items |
| 185s | tool tips at some point would be |
| 187s | completely |
| 189s | unwieldy |
| 192s | um you know we're um we we've got some |
| 195s | plans for set items to to sort of be |
| 199s | better long |
| 201s | term |
| 205s | um I think those are going to be I think |
| 207s | it's going to be a lot more |
| 209s | fun |
| 217s | I mean those are nice gloves just not |
| 219s | for |
| 239s | me |
| 242s | all |
| 243s | right will Cycles continue to be on a |
| 246s | Wednesday for a while I have no idea I I |
| 250s | would not I would not take uh what's |
| 252s | happening on launch date and timing to |
| 255s | mean anything for the second cycle or |
| 257s | beyond that at all um we we'll we'll |
| 261s | look at how this went and we'll you know |
| 263s | analyze the good and bad things about |
| 265s | picking that time and we'll re-evaluate |
| 267s | and decide if we want to do it a game |
| 269s | next time like that um you know it's |
| 271s | it's one of those things |
| 272s | where uh we we might look at it and go |
| 275s | that was fantastic yeah let's do that |
| 277s | again we might look at and go well those |
| 279s | these were problems and we can fix it by |
| 280s | doing this you know like it's it's just |
| 283s | we're going to have to evaluate what's |
| 284s | going |
| 292s | on also I I |
| 295s | um just I feel like everyone noticed |
| 298s | this but you know we're releasing on the |
| 299s | 11th hour I mean it's 11th hour |
| 302s | somewhere but you know |
| 304s | you our local studio time is |
| 310s | Central uh what do you see as the median |
| 313s | and or average amount of time players |
| 316s | will spend in each league are you |
| 318s | balancing for some expectation here um I |
| 322s | mean I think we're we're sort of trying |
| 324s | to |
| 325s | hit I time is probably a bad way to look |
| 328s | at it for us right now now um I think |
| 331s | it's more in |
| 332s | the um activity investment category so |
| 336s | like we try and have uh like goals that |
| 340s | people who are um like really going to |
| 343s | go hard and are like going to do |
| 345s | everything they possibly can you know we |
| 347s | we have things that we expect them to |
| 348s | try and Achieve and then we have um |
| 351s | maybe people who are um who are playing |
| 354s | 3 AR RPGs and and bouncing between them |
| 357s | you know and are are going to spend less |
| 359s | time playing less which is totally fine |
| 361s | um and and maybe goals that are more |
| 364s | realistic for them to be achieving um |
| 367s | just just because they don't have the |
| 369s | the time to to do it or people who are |
| 371s | you know playing more per day than |
| 373s | others and things like that so like |
| 374s | there's I guess |
| 375s | more C like tear |
| 378s | of um activities that we expect people |
| 380s | to do like um some people will you know |
| 384s | grind up to level 100 some people will |
| 386s | grind their factions all the way to uh |
| 390s | to to to rank 10 some people do both |
| 392s | factions all the way to rank 10 it's |
| 393s | sort of like these these these |
| 395s | Milestones um that were sort of |
| 396s | expecting out of some people and not out |
| 397s | of others and it's less about how long |
| 400s | people are actually |
| 404s | playing and I'm I bet there's someone |
| 407s | who's uh much much more in tune with |
| 412s | um like server statistics and cost and |
| 416s | all that sort of stuff and probably is |
| 418s | has a more firm number on that but from |
| 420s | from a design standpoint that's the way |
| 421s | we look at it |
| 434s | really are you guys worried that the |
| 436s | Elden ring DLC might launch on the same |
| 438s | time as 1.0 I mean we we we tried really |
| 441s | hard to avoid any big uh uh big game |
| 445s | overlaps that we think would have a |
| 447s | significant like um play race |
| 451s | sharing uh and I think we've done pretty |
| 453s | well like we're we're not going to hit |
| 455s | too much here I I I would prefer them to |
| 459s | avoid our launch by a few weeks that |
| 461s | that would be real nice do I expect them |
| 464s | to even know who we are |
| 467s | no um yeah it's it's we we'll see what |
| 470s | happens I think it'll be fine either way |
| 472s | I think the the people who are |
| 476s | um like really really invested in last |
| 480s | and and playing on launch day and all |
| 481s | that sort of stuff um are going to sort |
| 484s | of regardless of if ELD the ring drops |
| 487s | that content for the most |
| 494s | part not want to |
| 498s | die we've been play testing the uh the |
| 502s | the the new uh launch builds too much |
| 504s | and there's so many little things that |
| 505s | I'm like trying to do like I was setting |
| 507s | up the audio I'm like all right just |
| 508s | switch the audio I can't do that you |
| 511s | know just just lots of little |
| 513s | things that I'm I've gotten used to |
| 517s | working good |
| 519s | news uh is it possible to get a better |
| 522s | contrast for the framing of the items |
| 524s | sometimes it feels hard to distinguish |
| 525s | the uniques at one glance in their |
| 527s | inventory or stash brightness uh does |
| 530s | not help with that um maybe I if you've |
| 532s | got if You' got um screenshots and a |
| 534s | suggestion like that the best place to |
| 535s | put it is on the forums or on on Discord |
| 538s | and we can um look at it and evaluate |
| 540s | all stuff there's always like any |
| 542s | question is it possible yes it's |
| 543s | possible |
| 545s | um I I don't know if something like that |
| 548s | is is going to happen at all I I assume |
| 550s | you mean like the distinction of of this |
| 552s | to this here in your inventory like the |
| 556s | the the frames here in the stash not the |
| 560s | actual tool tip cuz the tool tip is |
| 561s | getting a big overhaul and I think that |
| 563s | the um the inventory stuff's changing a |
| 565s | little bit too it looks |
| 568s | different there just too many |
| 575s | changes I reported a bug |
| 580s | awesome uh it's uh we we'll be we'll be |
| 582s | working on it I'll I'll finish the |
| 584s | question in a sec |
| 590s | here uh that is visually bugging the |
| 594s | texts in the game because of different |
| 597s | Windows language please fix okay yeah |
| 599s | we're any bugs your report will work |
| 603s | on are we going to see more Cosmetics at |
| 605s | launch |
| 608s | yes there's more |
| 610s | Cosmetics uh how long till the Potters |
| 613s | have some insane Tech I mean hopefully |
| 616s | uh hopefully a long time and if they do |
| 619s | it's like really easy to detect and |
| 621s | that' be |
| 623s | sweet I don't |
| 628s | know |
| 638s | all right will there be a bigger monster |
| 639s | density at release or will it stay like |
| 641s | this yeah they there'll be a we've been |
| 643s | making this sort of like uh steady |
| 645s | incremental progress on uh increasing |
| 647s | the monster density bit by bit uh that |
| 649s | will continue at 1.0 it's not going to |
| 651s | be a |
| 653s | like oh my God take a look at the |
| 655s | screenshot differences there's there's |
| 656s | four guys here and 40 guys here ah or |
| 658s | something like that but like it'll |
| 661s | be uh it'll it'll be it'll be a little |
| 665s | more sometimes that's also um reducing |
| 670s | the size of some of the zones as |
| 672s | well so there's uh there's a few um uh |
| 677s | monolith EOS in particular that are |
| 678s | problematic for size and uh I don't like |
| 683s | I I think this is still the way is on |
| 686s | live I don't think this was last patch |
| 688s | the problem I get get confused on which |
| 690s | patch things are for but there's um |
| 692s | we've been splitting up some of the the |
| 693s | model of echo um specifically just cuz |
| 696s | they're too |
| 697s | big which you know lead the same amount |
| 700s | of enemies in a smaller Zone higher |
| 705s | density uh keeping that mixed up are all |
| 708s | the Cycles going to be the same as |
| 709s | Legacy or you going to start doing new |
| 710s | content on cycle only after you finish |
| 712s | with the core editions um so a lot of |
| 715s | the the the the status of future Cycles |
| 717s | is very up in the air um we do have a |
| 720s | plan for what that's going to look like |
| 721s | um we know what's coming like we we've |
| 724s | got a a pretty solid plan for 1.1 um you |
| 728s | know like we we we do have a a general |
| 730s | idea of what it's going to look like |
| 731s | going forward but a lot of it's going to |
| 733s | be based on like the how the the patch |
| 735s | does um feedback we get from it how we |
| 739s | feel playing it you know there's there's |
| 741s | a lot of things that are going to |
| 743s | influence how we adjust that strategy |
| 746s | going forward um I think it's going to |
| 749s | be I think it's going to be a lot |
| 751s | of uh at least the first few patches I |
| 754s | think there's going to be mostly core |
| 756s | features that are |
| 759s | added and so this is this is speculative |
| 761s | based on you know what we've sort of |
| 764s | been feeling is going to likely happen |
| 765s | but it could change still um you know we |
| 768s | we we launch it and everyone goes we |
| 769s | hated this and we'll go okay well how |
| 770s | can we make it better you know |
| 772s | [Music] |
| 777s | um once we do have more more core things |
| 780s | in the game um that we don't feel like |
| 783s | adding a new feature to cycle would um |
| 787s | be super lacking for legacy uh we we |
| 791s | like we we might start looking at adding |
| 793s | in |
| 794s | more like cycle only content may maybe |
| 797s | it starts slow maybe it's this is |
| 799s | speculation I'm I don't know what's |
| 801s | going to happen exactly but maybe we're |
| 802s | like oh here's some like new unique |
| 805s | items or um you know like new |
| 807s | experimental affixes or like something |
| 809s | that's similar to experimental aices but |
| 810s | just like a new style or something I |
| 812s | don't know and you know that gets added |
| 814s | to cycle first and then wrapped into |
| 816s | Legacy afterwards or something like that |
| 817s | but you know initially the the the main |
| 819s | core features at least in 1.0 and 1.1 |
| 823s | that we're planning are are going to be |
| 824s | cycle and Legacy right out of the |
| 829s | gate that's what we're planning right |
| 832s | now see what happens |
| 838s | though |
| 843s | yes there we |
| 845s | go I think I might be a little uh |
| 849s | overgeared for this it's it's just |
| 850s | corruption 111 I |
| 852s | think I'll try and I'll try and get an |
| 856s | uh uh a shade fighting Quick bump it |
| 868s | up let's go straight to the |
| 878s | edge how fat is the stack of patch notes |
| 881s | for 1.0 it's |
| 882s | huge like |
| 884s | huge I |
| 887s | um I I was I was looking at one of the |
| 890s | just the most recent like CT build patch |
| 892s | notes I'm |
| 894s | like this is this is this is gigantic |
| 897s | this is just the difference between the |
| 898s | last CT build and this CT build |
| 909s | insane we started we've started making |
| 911s | the patch notes I can tell you |
| 914s | that we're still in the process of like |
| 917s | nailing down like all the all these |
| 919s | commits in our in our get repo just like |
| 921s | okay who who did this |
| 923s | one um Can can you remember exactly what |
| 927s | this change was from your cryptic |
| 928s | message have uh fixed fixed the this |
| 932s | node in that thing like what what was |
| 935s | wrong with |
| 943s | it it's going to be |
| 948s | good and you'll see him very shortly |
| 950s | before the patch but not significantly |
| 953s | before the |
| 958s | PCH |
| 963s | uh do you guys have a plan date as to |
| 965s | when you'll be showing the shaman |
| 967s | changes I would I would I don't know I |
| 969s | would assume in the first in the week |
| 971s | before the patch like when we usually |
| 973s | show off a lot of things like |
| 988s | that |
| 991s | prism W's always |
| 1002s | good prison RS are one of those items |
| 1004s | that got shafted like the most on uh |
| 1007s | legendary potential chance compared to |
| 1009s | what it normally |
| 1014s | has hello Rogue |
| 1017s | poison |
| 1019s | uh what we got next question any chance |
| 1022s | to get further insight into locking |
| 1024s | masteries uh sure how do you think it |
| 1026s | will be received to launch best of luck |
| 1027s | release I I think it'll be received very |
| 1030s | much the same as it's been received for |
| 1031s | a long time um I think there will be |
| 1033s | some people who are very upset about it |
| 1035s | and some people who uh don't care at all |
| 1038s | about it and other people who are very |
| 1039s | happy about it like it's it's going to |
| 1041s | be it's going to be a mixed bag I |
| 1047s | think |
| 1070s | yeah I don't think there's going to be |
| 1070s | any major differences what we have |
| 1077s | now |
| 1086s | uh question here will you be doing a lot |
| 1089s | uh borrowed power in each |
| 1091s | cycle uh do you mean like uh things that |
| 1095s | the cycle gets that is like a lot of |
| 1097s | power that is going to go away at the |
| 1098s | end of the cycle and and not come |
| 1107s | back |
| 1110s | dxc just |
| 1113s | uh expand on that question for me |
| 1116s | please uh yeah and if if you do have a |
| 1118s | question for me please put at last OT |
| 1120s | game in chat so I answer it otherwise |
| 1121s | I'm going to assume it's for just other |
| 1127s | people are you guys possibly going to |
| 1129s | take ideas for cycle ideas or themes for |
| 1132s | future |
| 1134s | content like like like player |
| 1136s | suggestions and things like that yeah of |
| 1137s | course |
| 1143s | I'm sure this has been asked before but |
| 1144s | are there any future plans to have |
| 1145s | shards not going into our |
| 1147s | inventory um not specifically yet |
| 1155s | no um |
| 1157s | the it's it's still a pretty hot topic |
| 1160s | for us um I would say there's um room |
| 1164s | for movement and it's just not quite |
| 1166s | happened yet the |
| 1170s | uh the big goal for it was to have them |
| 1172s | be items and it's not people don't feel |
| 1175s | that way about them so um we kind of |
| 1177s | need to |
| 1178s | either |
| 1179s | um pull back on the convenience or amp |
| 1182s | up the |
| 1188s | convenience I'm sure you're allware |
| 1190s | about how well things go over when you |
| 1191s | take something |
| 1194s | away when will patch notes come up PRI |
| 1196s | to launch probably just before |
| 1200s | suffer Dev I know the get commit pain |
| 1203s | big offender of fix I I always play you |
| 1206s | got got have a little bit of description |
| 1208s | there but you know sometimes it is a |
| 1209s | little |
| 1212s | just just look at the one line of the |
| 1215s | commit diff |
| 1216s | [Music] |
| 1227s | please |
| 1232s | all right is the infamous reset all |
| 1233s | button coming in massive no passive sh |
| 1235s | doesn't get us reset all button |
| 1238s | yet didn't make it |
| 1242s | sorry so apparently there's no extra end |
| 1245s | game should with 1.0 roughly what can we |
| 1246s | expect that to change um yeah so the the |
| 1250s | way you interact with the end game is |
| 1253s | changing um |
| 1257s | the |
| 1260s | like the rewards for end game is |
| 1262s | changing the difficulty scaling for end |
| 1263s | game is changing um you know like so |
| 1266s | there's I would say end game is getting |
| 1268s | a lot of |
| 1269s | refinements um but there's no new |
| 1271s | activities so I don't like the nothing's |
| 1275s | changing but depending on how you look |
| 1277s | at it it's |
| 1278s | true |
| 1281s | um as as for new endgame like activities |
| 1285s | and content that sort of style uh I I |
| 1287s | would say that's going to be a very very |
| 1288s | high priority for us for most of the |
| 1292s | patches |
| 1296s | um like that we we've already planned |
| 1300s | which are the first |
| 1303s | few oh my goodness what is going |
| 1306s | on I I my finger was pressing two |
| 1309s | instead of one for potion I don't know |
| 1312s | why I'm a dumb Dum that's okay go this |
| 1317s | way |
| 1322s | little Arena |
| 1325s | action I'm a big fan of this particular |
| 1327s | Arena just a little extra you know |
| 1329s | little extra mechanics in the middle is |
| 1347s | fun oh I |
| 1349s | beetles save |
| 1356s | me |
| 1369s | R steeve why are you such why are you |
| 1373s | such a handsome amazing dude cuz my mama |
| 1375s | made me this |
| 1377s | way |
| 1382s | uh hi Mike do you guys plan midcycle |
| 1384s | balance changes if something is |
| 1386s | outperforming or underperforming some of |
| 1388s | the older classes seem a bit |
| 1390s | underpowered um yeah so we do we do this |
| 1393s | is I uh two weeks ago I went into a very |
| 1396s | long explanation of this |
| 1399s | answer |
| 1401s | um the shorter version |
| 1404s | is um yes we'll do we'll do some some |
| 1408s | mid midseason balancing and stuff like |
| 1411s | that |
| 1412s | [Music] |
| 1414s | um there's a lot of ways we can do that |
| 1418s | and have major problems happen uh so |
| 1421s | we're going to be very careful in how we |
| 1425s | um you know how how we execute on that |
| 1428s | and |
| 1431s | uh there's yeah the few big pitfalls you |
| 1434s | know n nerfing a build that's that's |
| 1436s | doing really well too hard lot problem |
| 1438s | problems |
| 1441s | um |
| 1443s | nerfing uh or bu buffing too many other |
| 1445s | builds to compensate uh can leave you in |
| 1447s | a position at the end of the cycle where |
| 1449s | you have to Nerf too many things and you |
| 1451s | end up with a a bad pattern of um |
| 1454s | nerfing in between cycles and buffing in |
| 1457s | the middle of cycles and and that |
| 1459s | doesn't work well either so so there's |
| 1461s | those the pitfalls were avoiding for the |
| 1463s | most part |
| 1467s | um |
| 1469s | but yes we will be doing some |
| 1471s | rebalancing we're needed like it's it's |
| 1474s | it's if there's a if there's a really |
| 1476s | important time that we need it yeah |
| 1478s | we'll do it um but mid midseason |
| 1480s | balancing is a delicate |
| 1488s | touch respect all button when hopefully |
| 1491s | soon uh will you cons continually add |
| 1496s | new skills for all classes um I mean |
| 1498s | yeah so |
| 1500s | the like Mage is |
| 1502s | stacked Mage is stacked so like it'll be |
| 1505s | a while before there's a new Mage skill |
| 1507s | I think um but like you go up in the |
| 1510s | same panel on Rogue even even after the |
| 1511s | falconer and it's like yesh where's all |
| 1514s | the |
| 1516s | skills um so yeah yeah we we'll keep |
| 1519s | adding skills the ones that have fewer |
| 1520s | skills will get more skills added faster |
| 1523s | um the ones who have a lot of skills |
| 1526s | will probably get less you know |
| 1529s | [Music] |
| 1530s | um and that's not to say there won't be |
| 1532s | reworks and revamps and things like that |
| 1534s | that happen the existing skills even for |
| 1536s | the bigger |
| 1537s | trees H little teleport it's one |
| 1541s | bad as an |
| 1545s | example so yeah there's there's there's |
| 1548s | definitely room for improvements there |
| 1550s | and and yeah we will continue |
| 1552s | to I what I would say is uh nothing when |
| 1555s | when a new skill comes out or new skill |
| 1556s | gets reworked it doesn't get off it |
| 1558s | doesn't get taken off the list it just |
| 1559s | goes to the bottom of the |
| 1572s | list oh Idol is going to make me try and |
| 1575s | read all these in the middle of a |
| 1579s | thing cold dots not |
| 1587s | bad |
| 1593s | wait they're basically not none of them |
| 1594s | are for |
| 1605s | me right next |
| 1607s | [Music] |
| 1608s | question for power YY me his character |
| 1611s | power that's temporary for a cycle and |
| 1612s | then remove replaces something um else |
| 1614s | the next CLE okay cool just I just |
| 1615s | wanted to make sure that I was uh read |
| 1618s | that right |
| 1620s | um I I that's not something we're |
| 1623s | looking at |
| 1624s | doing uh right away that's I would say |
| 1627s | that that would be a |
| 1628s | low um low priority thing right |
| 1635s | now I think there would need to be |
| 1637s | something wrong |
| 1639s | with the the mechanic like there there |
| 1641s | would we we would need if that were to |
| 1643s | happen uh especially in in early on it |
| 1646s | would need to be because |
| 1648s | we were trying something really |
| 1650s | experimental and it did not go |
| 1653s | well and we're like okay yeah the |
| 1656s | experiment failed uh pull that |
| 1659s | out try |
| 1661s | again you like it would yeah it would |
| 1663s | have had gone really |
| 1677s | bad |
| 1683s | more |
| 1684s | more uh just want to shout out whoever's |
| 1687s | designning UI for |
| 1688s | last shout |
| 1690s | out here we go I don't I don't know if I |
| 1693s | I'm let to say names of people on stream |
| 1695s | or not but you know who you are and |
| 1696s | you're awesome F you d |
| 1706s | tabulous |
| 1716s | uh I'm very curious about whether in the |
| 1717s | future models will be made exactly like |
| 1720s | the images in the inventory of the |
| 1721s | equipment including the unique ones uh |
| 1723s | now only weapons have models exactly |
| 1725s | like in the image if I'm not mistaken um |
| 1727s | there are a couple other things than |
| 1728s | just weapons but for the most part yes |
| 1730s | you are correct |
| 1733s | um yeah we're we're going to keep we're |
| 1735s | going to keep adding in new uh |
| 1738s | unique models into game it's it's it's |
| 1741s | one of those things where it's like it's |
| 1742s | a slow process but we're going to keep |
| 1744s | doing it |
| 1752s | um it's it's a really important part of |
| 1755s | the fantasy to say like I equip sword uh |
| 1759s | sword looks like sword in picture you |
| 1761s | know like like that's that that that's a |
| 1763s | really important part of everything um |
| 1765s | really coming |
| 1766s | together |
| 1773s | I am not a man of many pockets voice L |
| 1776s | gets me R |
| 1787s | done all |
| 1792s | right are the terrain issues in chapter |
| 1795s | one boss fights being fixed for 1.0 |
| 1800s | uh is the new boss fight there |
| 1803s | already yeah yes it's already there yes |
| 1806s | it's |
| 1810s | yeah uh will the squirrel Beast Master |
| 1812s | be nerfed in one point out well there a |
| 1814s | bug right now I'm trying to fix with it |
| 1815s | so |
| 1817s | maybe |
| 1818s | [Music] |
| 1819s | um I I I don't know if there's uh I I |
| 1822s | don't have any information on upcoming |
| 1824s | potential balance |
| 1826s | changes |
| 1828s | uh do you guys plan cycle rewards with |
| 1831s | cosmetic rewards um initially no but |
| 1833s | that's the sort of thing we'll look at |
| 1834s | expanding into um you know once once |
| 1836s | we're a little more |
| 1838s | settled yeah that that style of thing I |
| 1840s | think |
| 1841s | is really good for driving engagement |
| 1846s | um you know just just a a fun reward for |
| 1850s | being |
| 1853s | awesome hopefully it goes without saying |
| 1855s | I'm going to say it anyways they would |
| 1857s | not be power rewards would be cosmetic |
| 1864s | only just to be safe got to say |
| 1869s | it you can kind of just assume that |
| 1872s | caveat goes with |
| 1873s | everything that's |
| 1875s | like cosmetic or purchasable or you know |
| 1878s | not just for everyone in the |
| 1886s | game uh you may have very well created |
| 1889s | the best rogue class in any APG a I have |
| 1891s | fallen completely level thank |
| 1895s | you I rogue's also my |
| 1911s | favorite getting Keys everywhere |
| 1916s | today |
| 1927s | that big big big Mega NOA is just so |
| 1930s | cool it's just gets |
| 1936s | me right what Nick K was better The Rock |
| 1940s | or Conor The Rock 100% The |
| 1943s | Rock it's one of I I love the it's it's |
| 1946s | like you got nage it's also Sean Connor |
| 1947s | you remember like this is this is not |
| 1950s | just a Nick Cage you |
| 1956s | know I'm old enough that Sean Connor is |
| 1958s | still |
| 1964s | Bond the Thunderball that was a |
| 1972s | mistake it's actually a |
| 1975s | remake all right what was the why was |
| 1978s | the decision to keep bug fixes |
| 1981s | like with Rogue flurry multi-shot and |
| 1984s | detonating arrow to 1.0 not emergency |
| 1986s | patch |
| 1990s | um sometimes something seems like it can |
| 1994s | be fixed in |
| 1996s | isolation um but but really it's a |
| 2000s | larger like issue and uh you can't like |
| 2003s | if if you fix if you try and fix that |
| 2005s | one thing you're actually working on a |
| 2007s | larger issue um and the volume of things |
| 2012s | that it touched um and and other systems |
| 2016s | that it interacted with meant that we |
| 2017s | would have been releasing a very major |
| 2020s | patch uh which would have required uh |
| 2022s | much more QA bandwidth and uh would have |
| 2025s | taken away from what we could actually |
| 2026s | push out at 1.0 we got to a point where |
| 2029s | 1.0 was the only thing that mattered and |
| 2032s | unless it was like a |
| 2035s | really really imp impactful bug that |
| 2038s | would sto people from playing the game |
| 2039s | altogether um or was like super easy to |
| 2044s | fix uh like super low risk to fix you |
| 2047s | know there's there's sort of those two |
| 2048s | things like |
| 2051s | um fighting against each other to just |
| 2053s | decide if we're going to do it or not |
| 2055s | and it was uh high risk medium high |
| 2059s | reward um but we weren't prepared to try |
| 2061s | and tackle a high-risk thing like |
| 2066s | that |
| 2068s | it's it's basically we looked at one |
| 2070s | point it was going to be better because |
| 2070s | we didn't do |
| 2082s | that which I know sounds |
| 2096s | ridiculous |
| 2101s | next |
| 2103s | question Oh all masteries have five |
| 2106s | skills at 1.0 no for example Shaman only |
| 2108s | has four will still only have four at |
| 2109s | launch while J has five yeah so um |
| 2112s | Paladin will only have four uh Shaman |
| 2115s | will only have |
| 2116s | four |
| 2121s | uh Lich will only have |
| 2126s | four |
| 2132s | what am I |
| 2137s | missing are Marksman and blade dancer |
| 2139s | sitting at four right now I think |
| 2139s | they're both sitting at |
| 2141s | four they're not getting new skills in |
| 2144s | their in their Mastery |
| 2152s | trees Paladin will be four Paladin's |
| 2155s | three and a half right now it'll be four |
| 2158s | said |
| 2163s | that almost all of the new skills are |
| 2167s | for Warlock and |
| 2169s | Falcon there only one new skill that's |
| 2186s | not |
| 2195s | all right next question any plans uh for |
| 2198s | a server slam session before 1.0 we've |
| 2200s | been doing |
| 2202s | um a lot of tests |
| 2207s | internally um I don't know I don't know |
| 2210s | if there's a big like plan for a like |
| 2212s | Community run server slam type |
| 2215s | thing I don't I I don't don't think we'd |
| 2217s | be able to generate real |
| 2221s | numbers um for a for a server test that |
| 2224s | would actually like accurately mimic |
| 2227s | what would happen in a in in a launch |
| 2230s | situation um so I don't know if it's |
| 2232s | valuable or not to do |
| 2243s | that it's the two three rows of Buffs |
| 2245s | showing by default that's it's always |
| 2246s | been that way it's just r gets a weird |
| 2247s | amount of |
| 2249s | Buffs I way too many might I don't look |
| 2252s | at them at |
| 2254s | all all |
| 2256s | right uh some of the character faces |
| 2258s | look weird shiny or oily and the |
| 2261s | character select look different 1.0 |
| 2263s | later patch yeah uh all of the faces got |
| 2266s | a touchup I might be wrong on that I |
| 2269s | know some of them |
| 2270s | did if you watch the |
| 2272s | trailer um like the just the main launch |
| 2275s | trailer there's like uh like a quick |
| 2277s | back toback of like every character like |
| 2279s | landing and like you see their face um |
| 2283s | that's that's what the new characters |
| 2284s | look like you can you can use that to |
| 2285s | compare the difference they're they're |
| 2287s | in like a pose so it's a little |
| 2289s | different but yeah those are actual |
| 2292s | models from |
| 2297s | game uh do you guys uh plan to give |
| 2300s | agency over what endgame content people |
| 2302s | wants to do after game has many cycle |
| 2305s | contents in it |
| 2318s | um do you mean |
| 2322s | like I feel like we already do this is |
| 2324s | why is why I'm |
| 2325s | hesitating uh so this is why I'm kind of |
| 2327s | like yes but we already |
| 2332s | do um once there's more options it'll be |
| 2335s | you know like there'll be more options |
| 2336s | there'll be more more things to choose |
| 2337s | from so |
| 2340s | yeah I |
| 2343s | think |
| 2345s | uh will there be additional campaign |
| 2349s | chapters with 1.0 launch no what's your |
| 2351s | personal favorite thing you have added |
| 2353s | to the |
| 2358s | game me personally |
| 2365s | added |
| 2371s | here's the problem is I don't think I've |
| 2372s | added anything on my |
| 2380s | own it's really hard to |
| 2382s | like oh yes I added |
| 2386s | that |
| 2393s | um I I think just like just skills |
| 2395s | skills and skill trees that I worked |
| 2396s | done |
| 2399s | done that's my favorite part of design |
| 2401s | and |
| 2413s | development get out of |
| 2424s | those hey next question |
| 2428s | uh oh there a big one I was asking if |
| 2431s | there going to be challenge systems and |
| 2433s | cosmetic rewards for like for it like |
| 2436s | Poe does where you complete a number of |
| 2438s | challenges you get a cosmetic at 10 20 |
| 2440s | 30 40 different cosmetic rewards Etc |
| 2442s | because the challenges offer different |
| 2443s | players more stuff to chase in the |
| 2444s | season yeah I I we don't have anything |
| 2446s | specific like that set up for 1.0 um I I |
| 2450s | think that that style of thing is that |
| 2453s | that is what I thought you meant um that |
| 2455s | that style of thing is very very |
| 2458s | appealing and I'd be very surprised if |
| 2461s | we didn't do something like that |
| 2465s | um I I we don't have any specific things |
| 2468s | of like here are the plans for |
| 2470s | challenges going forward or anything |
| 2471s | like that that I can share but like it's |
| 2474s | it's a pretty natural type of thing to |
| 2476s | add um and I think it's done very well |
| 2478s | in |
| 2479s | Poe you know we'll we'll we'll approach |
| 2482s | it fresh and put our own twist and all |
| 2483s | that sort of |
| 2485s | stuff I am not a man of |
| 2490s | manys come on |
| 2494s | tyan get some more |
| 2503s | Pockets really really want that all R 21 |
| 2506s | all RS to happen don't they |
| 2510s | ah let's go with the unique |
| 2515s | item |
| 2523s | uh any plans to allow fonts to be |
| 2525s | resized I know what they used to be um I |
| 2529s | UI customization is something that we'd |
| 2530s | really like to be able to have um we |
| 2532s | don't have any UI customization right |
| 2534s | now |
| 2535s | um I means that term broadly but there's |
| 2538s | just there's like we we don't we don't |
| 2540s | have any I I guess we do have some some |
| 2542s | light settings like turn off damage |
| 2544s | numbers and stuff like that |
| 2547s | um but I don't I there's no plans right |
| 2552s | now to specifically add that specific |
| 2554s | feature |
| 2556s | um I I think it's the sort of thing |
| 2558s | we'll probably look forward to if we get |
| 2560s | feedback that some people want which is |
| 2563s | something that gets ass fairly |
| 2573s | regular |
| 2574s | [Music] |
| 2575s | uh |
| 2578s | uh are you guys planning to introduce |
| 2580s | transmog systems for all models not just |
| 2583s | MTX in the future when you get a chance |
| 2586s | uh we do have uh desire to do a transmog |
| 2589s | system uh exactly what that looks like |
| 2591s | and how that works I don't have any info |
| 2593s | on that I can |
| 2604s | sh all right |
| 2608s | uh any metrics on the most and least |
| 2610s | played classes so far we do have that |
| 2613s | info I have no idea what it |
| 2615s | is I'd be pretty surprised |
| 2618s | if |
| 2621s | um you know I'd be pretty surprised if |
| 2624s | it |
| 2627s | was uh anything weird you know like like |
| 2629s | I bet Shaman's last um I bet R Masters |
| 2634s | first yeah it's this just probably |
| 2636s | there's not a lot of uh interesting |
| 2638s | information in there I don't |
| 2643s | think uh also will the very old boss |
| 2647s | models be updated in |
| 2650s | 1.0 uh no it's not the most priority but |
| 2653s | it gives game a bad look when someone |
| 2655s | tries to show off bossing to someone |
| 2658s | that old necro |
| 2660s | Commander oh the a bomb fight I love the |
| 2663s | a bomb fight is that what you're talking |
| 2665s | about |
| 2672s | um I I don't think there's any uh model |
| 2675s | updates to bosses in 1.0 for bosses |
| 2679s | might there might be some little ones |
| 2681s | but for the most part |
| 2692s | now uh laging cities is bad now are the |
| 2695s | things that will be able to handle this |
| 2696s | at launch I there's there's improvements |
| 2699s | to the servers coming I don't know any |
| 2701s | specific details I can't say like it's |
| 2703s | going to be perfect or something like |
| 2704s | that um person I don't experience that |
| 2706s | lag in cities right now |
| 2713s | um who I I I I I can't say for certain |
| 2716s | it's going to be fixed for you it is uh |
| 2719s | multiplayer functionality and you know |
| 2721s | ease of use and and having it play |
| 2723s | nicely and whole the whole user |
| 2725s | experience for multiplayer is and has |
| 2727s | been our number one priority leading up |
| 2729s | to launch and you know that's something |
| 2731s | we're taking very seriously |
| 2734s | and you're doing our best to make it as |
| 2736s | good as possible I can't say for certain |
| 2738s | that it's going to meet certain |
| 2739s | benchmarks for each individual |
| 2742s | user there's so |
| 2755s | many |
| 2762s | uh hello I'm not sure if this is being |
| 2764s | asked before probably that's okay uh but |
| 2767s | do you plan on keeping the model of uh |
| 2770s | not locking content behind a season wall |
| 2772s | or will seasons and content be locked |
| 2774s | together uh with one another like |
| 2777s | G um so you know let's do the quick |
| 2781s | version because it's something we talked |
| 2781s | about earlier in the Stream |
| 2784s | um it's it initially it's Al together um |
| 2789s | the future that can change uh you know |
| 2792s | we how fast that changes um exactly how |
| 2795s | that changes you know a lot of that will |
| 2797s | be based on feedback we've gotten from |
| 2799s | our players and you know how we've |
| 2801s | observed the game playing and feeling |
| 2803s | all sort of stuff |
| 2805s | so you know all I can really say is 1.0 |
| 2808s | is simultaneously for legacy and cycle |
| 2812s | um after that it's up in the air who |
| 2814s | knows what'll |
| 2815s | happen |
| 2820s | uh is there a timeline on when the base |
| 2823s | campaign would be completed or is it |
| 2825s | just going to be gradually completed |
| 2826s | each cycle it's going to be gradually |
| 2827s | completed um we do have a Target |
| 2830s | deadline for it to be completed um so |
| 2832s | we're like okay we know we're like okay |
| 2833s | by patch 1.x it's going to be you know |
| 2837s | chapter uh chapter the last chapter |
| 2840s | implemented and this and the |
| 2843s | um campaign's finished type thing but |
| 2845s | you know it's not |
| 2847s | a uh not a guarantee until it |
| 2869s | happens on a scale of 1 to 10 how tired |
| 2873s | are we of Shield the apocalypse asked |
| 2875s | earli on Discord okay C kind of drowned |
| 2877s | out um I did actually see it I was very |
| 2879s | busy at the |
| 2881s | time um I'm a commander player so not at |
| 2884s | all uh she doesn't she doesn't she's not |
| 2887s | really very ubiquitous in uh Commander |
| 2890s | tables I also haven't played much magic |
| 2892s | lately at all I've been way too busy I |
| 2894s | played magic one time this |
| 2898s | year got got two games |
| 2905s | in |
| 2912s | very very good card |
| 2916s | um I used to play Shield red as a |
| 2920s | commander the original Shield red as a |
| 2922s | commander terrible |
| 2924s | idea just like instantly dies no matter |
| 2932s | what some control player at the table is |
| 2934s | like I've got my one creature so you're |
| 2936s | not going to drop that counter stalling |
| 2951s | great are you considering making genders |
| 2954s | or customizations of characters uh |
| 2955s | character customization is a long-term |
| 2957s | goal for us uh it is something that we |
| 2959s | do hope to include in the game we do not |
| 2960s | have a timeline for it or any details on |
| 2962s | what that will include specifically |
| 2967s | um however it'll probably be a body type |
| 2970s | selection rather than a specific gender |
| 2972s | selection is what I assume will |
| 2981s | happen but we'll have to let's see what |
| 2983s | happens when we get |
| 2991s | there |
| 2995s | yeah |
| 2997s | that's right I went to the Prometheus |
| 2998s | School of running away from |
| 3003s | [Music] |
| 3005s | stuff just go to the side you're |
| 3009s | good |
| 3011s | um are you going at some point to make |
| 3014s | the game compatible with Mac um fun fact |
| 3017s | we used to have mac support |
| 3020s | um we don't have any plans to return Max |
| 3022s | support to the game right |
| 3024s | now |
| 3026s | it'll be part of the conversation we |
| 3028s | have when we look towards new platforms |
| 3030s | to expand into um in the future because |
| 3032s | we still haven't decided specifically |
| 3034s | every platform we're going to expand |
| 3035s | into um I think Max support is very low |
| 3039s | on that list right |
| 3042s | now I'd be |
| 3048s | surprised uh are you at some point oh I |
| 3051s | answer |
| 3052s | that uh will you guys keep sharing the |
| 3054s | road maps of what's after 1.0 previous |
| 3057s | one was great yeah um the the reason why |
| 3059s | there's no like post 1.0 road map up |
| 3061s | right now is cuz we really want to keep |
| 3063s | the focus on 1.0 and if we're like 1.0 |
| 3067s | is going to be great look at the stuff |
| 3069s | coming at 1.1 ah yeah it's it's sort of |
| 3072s | like it takes away from the 1.0 launch |
| 3075s | so we're like we're really like let's |
| 3077s | just focus everything on 1.0 right now |
| 3079s | once that's settled and and all sort |
| 3081s | stuff we we can start looking at the |
| 3082s | future and it doesn't need to |
| 3083s | necessarily be quite as a hard line |
| 3085s | there |
| 3109s | oh I went the wrong |
| 3114s | way |
| 3119s | come |
| 3126s | on less damage taking from distant |
| 3128s | enemies |
| 3130s | eh then I will pretend to be |
| 3144s | melee |
| 3147s | uh hi |
| 3148s | hello any progression on UI scaling SL |
| 3151s | increas Tech size of items none so |
| 3155s | far uh what do you think of the MTX |
| 3158s | idea of enemy death animations for |
| 3161s | example regardless of what skill kills a |
| 3163s | mob it would burst into confetti with |
| 3165s | confetti death |
| 3166s | mod |
| 3169s | um I think it's a cool |
| 3172s | idea uh I think that |
| 3177s | um confetti is probably a little too far |
| 3182s | from the general theme that we've got |
| 3184s | going on to to |
| 3186s | to invest in |
| 3193s | um but the general idea I think is |
| 3197s | possible it's not something we have |
| 3198s | planned at the |
| 3201s | moment uh since Peewee Gauntlet is |
| 3203s | running right now our compe is events |
| 3207s | ladders and speedruns something ESG |
| 3209s | cares about or not so much |
| 3212s | absolutely yeah |
| 3216s | um I I don't think we would have a |
| 3218s | ladder if we didn't care about that at |
| 3222s | all um specific uh short-term events |
| 3226s | like what the poe is shown is um I I |
| 3230s | think is really popular and I think is |
| 3231s | really great |
| 3234s | um |
| 3236s | we'll have to see what that looks like |
| 3238s | for lyu going forward if that's possible |
| 3240s | if people want it all that sort of stuff |
| 3243s | and as always we we you know do it with |
| 3245s | our with our own twists our own spin |
| 3247s | build it from the ground up for for our |
| 3248s | systems and things like that cuz like |
| 3250s | like there's it's really easy to um to |
| 3253s | look at systems like that in other games |
| 3254s | and sometimes they do translate great |
| 3257s | um but there's frequently little things |
| 3260s | that just like just don't work because |
| 3262s | of some weird system interaction |
| 3266s | so you know we we always try to look at |
| 3268s | the like what what are the goals that |
| 3269s | the system is achieving and how can we |
| 3272s | best achieve those same goals if we if |
| 3273s | we're trying to find us find something |
| 3275s | to do those same things like if we're |
| 3277s | looking at a system uh we're looking at |
| 3279s | what problem does it solve we're looking |
| 3280s | at do we have that problem can we solve |
| 3283s | that problem uh how is best to solve |
| 3285s | that problem and it's it's less about |
| 3286s | looking on like how that feature works |
| 3288s | and more what problem that feature is |
| 3289s | trying to |
| 3292s | solve cuz cuz the solution might look |
| 3294s | completely different in our game game or |
| 3297s | it might look almost exactly the same |
| 3298s | you never |
| 3308s | know oh come |
| 3321s | on that was a close |
| 3324s | one |
| 3331s | oh that's what happens when you click |
| 3333s | outside the |
| 3335s | window all right next |
| 3337s | question scrolling scrolling scrolling |
| 3341s | keep the chat Bock |
| 3344s | rolling uh did you get your degree in |
| 3348s | escapology uh no we we we |
| 3351s | [Music] |
| 3352s | failed |
| 3354s | uh had the right answer at the end but I |
| 3356s | didn't solve one of the clues and uh so |
| 3359s | it doesn't |
| 3361s | count I am not a man |
| 3364s | of I assume you're referring to the |
| 3366s | escape room that I just went and did |
| 3368s | recently that I talked about on stream I |
| 3373s | think uh UI scaling would help people |
| 3375s | with bad eyesight text is Tiny uh |
| 3378s | yeah you can change like maybe I'm wrong |
| 3382s | about this can you change the resolution |
| 3383s | or change you know like does that affect |
| 3387s | like the screen resolution affects Tech |
| 3389s | size which I know is not a good solution |
| 3392s | right now but if it's like preventing |
| 3394s | you from playing might be a |
| 3402s | workaround don't forget to put that last |
| 3404s | OT game in the question I see one here |
| 3406s | I'll read |
| 3407s | anyways oh there it is uh where are we |
| 3411s | hey Mike Ling your streams thank you I |
| 3413s | have a general question how hard is it |
| 3415s | it to add achievements to video games in |
| 3417s | Steam I see a ton of random games having |
| 3420s | them and then big triple games don't |
| 3421s | even |
| 3423s | bother |
| 3426s | um I think I think it depends game to |
| 3430s | game I don't I've never added |
| 3432s | achievements to a steam game so I don't |
| 3433s | really know the answer to the question |
| 3435s | before um for before we go too far in |
| 3437s | this |
| 3439s | uh I I think if you have a very complex |
| 3442s | game the you may look at it and go okay |
| 3444s | well there's certain things we want to |
| 3446s | add for |
| 3446s | achievements |
| 3449s | um and you might not want to do the |
| 3452s | achievements until you can add all the |
| 3454s | things I think it's possible as well |
| 3456s | that you might |
| 3457s | be especially with bigger games being on |
| 3459s | multiple |
| 3460s | platforms uh hello Novar RX and your |
| 3465s | party welcome to the show stay a while |
| 3467s | and listen wrong |
| 3470s | game |
| 3474s | uh |
| 3478s | uh what was I saying oh yeah |
| 3480s | achievements in Steam so yeah like it's |
| 3482s | possible that if you're like on multiple |
| 3483s | platforms you want to add achievements |
| 3485s | all around maybe the other platforms can |
| 3487s | be holding it up I don't know I'm just |
| 3490s | speculating on reasons why you might not |
| 3491s | add it at this point |
| 3494s | um for us the reason it's not in yet is |
| 3496s | just because we've got so many other |
| 3498s | things that are like strictly gameplay |
| 3500s | Centric features that need to be fixed |
| 3502s | and need to be added |
| 3504s | um achievements are great but having the |
| 3506s | game look better play better and have |
| 3508s | more options is more important to us so |
| 3510s | we're starting there |
| 3522s | first season content will be builds in |
| 3525s | game for future like in Poe yes for the |
| 3529s | most some exceptions as I explained |
| 3533s | earlier uh it could be the the severed |
| 3536s | hand death MTX where the mobs uh severed |
| 3539s | head heads get lopped off and |
| 3541s | bounce uh like a flat stone on water |
| 3544s | confetti just random P yeah um so on top |
| 3548s | of that so if there's if there's an |
| 3550s | effect that is especially model specific |
| 3552s | like I know I'm just like looking at |
| 3554s | like the specific uh suggestion again |
| 3556s | there's there's things that are you know |
| 3558s | would prevent stuff like that |
| 3561s | um specifically if it's going to |
| 3563s | interact with every single model in the |
| 3565s | game suddenly that one MTX is going to |
| 3568s | cost us an insane amount of money to |
| 3570s | implement like oh my God insane |
| 3575s | um because the head of every model |
| 3577s | something has to be able to come off um |
| 3580s | you know so it's it's and and I I know |
| 3582s | you're you're not like looking for |
| 3583s | specific examples here but it's just |
| 3585s | like um be the point the reason I'm |
| 3588s | pointing this out is I'm trying to show |
| 3590s | that um all of the |
| 3593s | Cosmetics that are here here affect your |
| 3596s | character only so there's one object in |
| 3599s | the world that's really affected by this |
| 3600s | there's there's I mean skills affect the |
| 3602s | skills you shoot out but it's it doesn't |
| 3604s | care about each individual enemy really |
| 3606s | it's just you um when we start doing |
| 3609s | enemy specific things um suddenly those |
| 3613s | things need to be generic enough that |
| 3615s | they just work with every |
| 3624s | enemy |
| 3626s | excuse me that was |
| 3629s | uh |
| 3631s | oh hello uh or or uh generic enough that |
| 3635s | they work with just every enemy or if |
| 3637s | they're too specific they can be too |
| 3639s | expensive reasonably do so it's it's |
| 3644s | um possible but I'd say not anytime |
| 3651s | soon uh are there un there are there any |
| 3653s | undiscovered builds left left I mean I |
| 3655s | would assume so I I they're undiscovered |
| 3657s | so I don't |
| 3663s | know |
| 3666s | oh I got something cool to |
| 3670s | share here's some here's something |
| 3673s | new here is some new art some new item |
| 3676s | art for a belt hopefully obviously it's |
| 3678s | a |
| 3681s | belt |
| 3682s | [Music] |
| 3683s | um |
| 3685s | I'm not going to give the |
| 3687s | exact uh situation this belt shows |
| 3696s | up all |
| 3700s | right uh is autocasting something the |
| 3702s | team still doesn't like and will |
| 3704s | eventually prevent or add in game |
| 3706s | support for |
| 3711s | um I I I don't think there's any point |
| 3714s | in US trying to um stop people from |
| 3717s | functionally being able to do it like um |
| 3720s | like trying to detect an AutoCast script |
| 3723s | or trying to detect and nlock tricks and |
| 3725s | things like that I I think attempting to |
| 3727s | do that is foolish at |
| 3730s | best |
| 3732s | um so the the the the fight on autoc |
| 3735s | casting the war on autoc casting or |
| 3736s | whatever you want to call it um is is |
| 3740s | less about uh trying |
| 3742s | to uh like prevent people from doing it |
| 3746s | and more trying to change the game such |
| 3748s | that people don't want it |
| 3751s | um and I I think that |
| 3754s | there's uh it's it's okay if it exists |
| 3757s | if there's certain situations where |
| 3758s | people are like you know I I just like |
| 3761s | being able to AutoCast it and maybe it's |
| 3763s | only like 95% perfect but you know it's |
| 3765s | fine uh and and they they'd rather just |
| 3767s | play with it AutoCast it and it's not |
| 3769s | maybe like the most possible optimal way |
| 3771s | to do it cool have fun um |
| 3778s | uh I know it's a little bit lighter |
| 3780s | stance than I've I've mentioned before I |
| 3782s | think not much lighter but a little bit |
| 3784s | lighter |
| 3785s | um it does beg the question of okay well |
| 3788s | do you then implement it in game |
| 3790s | functionally and we don't have any plans |
| 3792s | to do that right now |
| 3795s | um I I think it could be possible but |
| 3798s | you know it's it's not something we're |
| 3800s | planning |
| 3803s | on |
| 3807s | a lot of these things of like looking to |
| 3808s | the Future a a lot of these little |
| 3810s | little changes little things like this |
| 3811s | is sort of like a well maybe but about |
| 3814s | like four months ago we're like all |
| 3816s | right all that matters is 1.0 everything |
| 3819s | else ignore it and it's like um you know |
| 3824s | we haven't we haven't had design |
| 3825s | discussions on some of these topics that |
| 3826s | come up in quite a while because |
| 3830s | um cuz we're just got the head down |
| 3833s | focus on 1.0 right now |
| 3858s | all |
| 3863s | right |
| 3866s | uh a lot of companies struggle to with |
| 3868s | communication and their communities uh |
| 3870s | how do you help direct the communities |
| 3872s | in Positive Directions and prevent |
| 3874s | hostility between players and |
| 3878s | devs |
| 3880s | um gosh that's a question I should be |
| 3883s | able to answer really easily I have no |
| 3885s | idea |
| 3890s | um I |
| 3892s | I I mean I think I think we're just |
| 3895s | we we do things like this right here |
| 3896s | this stream I think is a a perfect |
| 3898s | example of of how we do that um you know |
| 3902s | that that conversation it's a pretty |
| 3903s | it's pretty open conversation I think |
| 3905s | that there's a lot of the the fact that |
| 3907s | we started this with a lot of um modern |
| 3911s | tools like just set up and ready to go I |
| 3914s | I think has helped a lot with things |
| 3916s | like that with us being able to |
| 3919s | um you you know like connect with our |
| 3922s | players through Discord really |
| 3923s | efficiently |
| 3927s | um I I I think it's had a huge impact on |
| 3930s | that for us |
| 3932s | and I don't I don't know if we've ever |
| 3934s | been in a situation where it's like a |
| 3936s | problem uh in order to need to like sit |
| 3938s | down and like lay out a strategy behind |
| 3940s | like a formal strategy I I I bet the |
| 3943s | everyone in our like Community |
| 3944s | management team is probably screaming at |
| 3945s | me be going like Mike we do this all the |
| 3947s | time what are you talking about I'm like |
| 3949s | H I don't know guys I'm just uh just |
| 3952s | here streaming what am I supposed to do |
| 3954s | um hey so so there's I think |
| 3960s | uh I I think there's a lot of room |
| 3963s | for |
| 3965s | um like improvements there from us for |
| 3967s | sure uh and yeah I think it's just a |
| 3972s | clear |
| 3979s | communication |
| 3982s | yeah I think we we we have it also a lot |
| 3985s | like if we're going to compare ourselves |
| 3986s | to like um like blizzard and Poe and GGG |
| 3992s | stuff like this like we have such an |
| 3993s | easy time compared to them because um |
| 3998s | because our communities are so much |
| 3999s | smaller we're we're not we're not |
| 4001s | dealing with um millions of players yet |
| 4005s | hopefully um |
| 4009s | what and and you know like there's so so |
| 4012s | I I think we have like just advantages |
| 4014s | there we we are able to keep up with um |
| 4018s | Community discussions a little bit |
| 4019s | easier because there is fewer of |
| 4022s | them what is |
| 4037s | real what is |
| 4042s | real trying not to die didn't even look |
| 4046s | my boy res was where's the c key there |
| 4049s | it is down there oh 48 that's not |
| 4052s | great fire Fire's good okay purple stuff |
| 4056s | is dangerous red stuff's not |
| 4069s | great what is |
| 4073s | real |
| 4078s | I should be answering questions |
| 4079s | shouldn't |
| 4084s | I what is |
| 4087s | real |
| 4089s | uh I still talking about that St yeah I |
| 4091s | yeah |
| 4093s | I I don't know I hope I answered that |
| 4096s | well enough |
| 4099s | sorry |
| 4101s | what has happened before |
| 4108s | all |
| 4110s | right I even look what the corruption |
| 4111s | change was going to be oh big jump take |
| 4115s | that 111 |
| 4124s | before Oh my God oh my God I've been |
| 4126s | playing with this thing on the screen |
| 4128s | like a [ __ ] I |
| 4130s | even I set this up to really be able to |
| 4133s | just like slam it into the Corner easily |
| 4135s | oh my |
| 4144s | God |
| 4151s | sorry oh I I have to do it every I have |
| 4154s | to do it once once a stream right this |
| 4156s | that's my one that I |
| 4158s | get |
| 4161s | uh I get I get this is the problem I get |
| 4164s | like absorbed into the game and I'm just |
| 4165s | like I'm just playing the game |
| 4173s | now okay can you disclose the day we |
| 4176s | would get the full 1.0 patch notes |
| 4178s | officially from me she no because I |
| 4179s | don't know what it |
| 4181s | is in the few days few few days before |
| 4184s | patch not |
| 4187s | much uh are there any plans the future |
| 4189s | for some sockets gem runw like |
| 4191s | D2 this is such a long question we get |
| 4194s | it so much um yes is the short answer |
| 4199s | um the complicated answer involves some |
| 4202s | cryptic thing about how our items are |
| 4204s | already that essentially and you know |
| 4211s | uh I mean like like the the the |
| 4214s | legendary system is is very similar to |
| 4216s | that where you're getting pieces of very |
| 4219s | getting individual discreet very rare |
| 4220s | pieces um and then you combine them |
| 4222s | together uh to make |
| 4224s | much more powerful and much more rare |
| 4226s | piece altogether um there's an element |
| 4228s | of random rolling when that happens you |
| 4231s | know like that's that's a a very vague |
| 4233s | definition of Rune wordss in Diablo I um |
| 4237s | uh sockets like you could take in you |
| 4240s | take gems you take individual items and |
| 4243s | you can socket them into a uh into an |
| 4248s | item you know like it's a very rough |
| 4250s | definition of our of our just item |
| 4252s | system so it's there there's a lot lot |
| 4254s | of overlap in the crafting stuff that we |
| 4255s | already have there which is why we can't |
| 4257s | this is what I was talking about earlier |
| 4258s | about taking systems and just like just |
| 4259s | like pulling them out of one game and |
| 4260s | plunking them in another and it's like |
| 4262s | what problem is it solving what what |
| 4263s | what goal is it achieving and and how |
| 4265s | can we do that with our own |
| 4267s | Spin and the legendary system um DT run |
| 4271s | wordss were a huge piece of inspiration |
| 4273s | for the legendary system |
| 4278s | um |
| 4281s | yeah um at the same time like that style |
| 4285s | of system is fantastic uh and I can see |
| 4288s | us using something similar other |
| 4291s | elements of it in different ways in the |
| 4292s | future |
| 4299s | possibly picked up the game two days ago |
| 4301s | awesome I love it fantastic wonder if |
| 4303s | bow skills not hitting is a problem on |
| 4306s | my end or if there will be a fix for it |
| 4308s | coming soon projectiles connect but |
| 4310s | don't have any effect there's um yeah |
| 4312s | there's some this you're not you're not |
| 4314s | alone there um uh it's it's something |
| 4317s | we've we've worked very hard to to fix |
| 4321s | so should be |
| 4323s | good need to use the tag who didn't tag |
| 4333s | me uh you ask it again if you want |
| 4339s | uh uh did the campaign boss get a buff |
| 4342s | for 1.0 to make them feel like a real |
| 4344s | fight only Lagana and maasa feel like |
| 4346s | real bosses in the campaign |
| 4351s | currently Oh Come bosses I didn't see |
| 4354s | the is |
| 4356s | um I uh there's been some difficulty |
| 4358s | shifts in |
| 4360s | general nothing huge there is a new |
| 4363s | opt-in difficulty system if you really |
| 4364s | want to challenge you can can go for um |
| 4368s | few THS on that will be at patch |
| 4372s | notes |
| 4375s | uh just to confirm the starting cycle |
| 4379s | on uh the 21st of February I will not |
| 4383s | have mechanics like Poe leagues |
| 4389s | right I would like to |
| 4393s | suggest that the item factions |
| 4397s | themselves it's a pretty in-depth like |
| 4400s | League mechanic on its own um but for |
| 4404s | the purposes of your question assuming |
| 4405s | that's not what as soon as you're not |
| 4407s | counting that yes that's correct uh |
| 4410s | there's there's no |
| 4412s | new uh like League cycle mechanic for |
| 4416s | ingame other than the item faction |
| 4418s | system coming for |
| 4425s | 1.0 uh hey is there any chance you will |
| 4428s | add red dots on the mini map that shows |
| 4430s | where mobs are um we've had that so |
| 4435s | messy |
| 4436s | [Music] |
| 4439s | um I could see it being an option |
| 4441s | possibly but I I know there's no plans |
| 4443s | data right |
| 4462s | now |
| 4464s | ooo look at those |
| 4474s | keys the keys suppos to open the chest |
| 4476s | not be in the |
| 4479s | chest key a key that leads to a chest |
| 4481s | that leads to another chest oo that's a |
| 4483s | big Health |
| 4485s | roll how big is that oh it's just a high |
| 4488s | range of six still |
| 4492s | up thank you you're welcome I'm not sure |
| 4495s | what for but you're |
| 4497s | welcome uh any chance the curse |
| 4500s | customization in the future we do not |
| 4502s | currently have the capabilities to have |
| 4506s | charact we do not currently have |
| 4509s | capabilities to have cursor |
| 4510s | customization in the game um if that |
| 4513s | changes we will add it to the game um |
| 4516s | but until then |
| 4522s | no |
| 4537s | have you guys considered making glyphs |
| 4540s | Auto pickup like called this yes sorry I |
| 4543s | laugh because it gets asked every |
| 4546s | week uh just just be clear the yes is |
| 4549s | we've considered |
| 4552s | it |
| 4558s | uh will there be a way to reset your |
| 4560s | cycle stash items for example in po you |
| 4563s | transfer everything to standard and |
| 4564s | delete all characters and reset your |
| 4565s | lead um we don't have a function for |
| 4568s | that right now |
| 4574s | um you know if it's something that gets |
| 4576s | put in our feedback and suggestions |
| 4578s | channels a bunch you know we we we'll |
| 4580s | look at it always look at stuff that's |
| 4581s | in those |
| 4582s | channels |
| 4584s | but right now there's no uh nothing for |
| 4586s | that at the |
| 4606s | moment uh is gold drop rates changes |
| 4608s | with |
| 4609s | 1.0 um I don't know |
| 4622s | almost sneezed it's close |
| 4630s | one think I just figured out why the |
| 4632s | audio wasn't working on my headset |
| 4642s | earlier h |
| 4644s | uh two questions do you guys do |
| 4646s | automated tests everything you fix skill |
| 4648s | trait it's a huge game so many |
| 4650s | interactions so I just curious um we do |
| 4652s | have automated |
| 4654s | tests |
| 4656s | um we also have manual tests so there's |
| 4659s | like depending on how big of a change |
| 4662s | something is will'll determine what |
| 4663s | types of tests get run on it um so |
| 4665s | there's some automated tests that get |
| 4667s | run on every single commit that gets |
| 4668s | pushed no matter what |
| 4670s | um they're they're they're pretty pretty |
| 4673s | basic sort of like a is this going to |
| 4675s | make it so this game will no longer ever |
| 4677s | be possible to be built and |
| 4679s | played if that fails don't merge it |
| 4683s | um uh then |
| 4686s | there's um there there's a Code view |
| 4688s | that happens for any any code chain gets |
| 4690s | code reviewed by at least one person |
| 4695s | um |
| 4698s | and uh then then for anything that's a |
| 4701s | like an actual gameplay effect change it |
| 4704s | also goes to QA |
| 4706s | process |
| 4708s | um and like a design review |
| 4710s | [Music] |
| 4713s | process |
| 4715s | sometimes |
| 4716s | [Music] |
| 4721s | um so yeah we we do a combination of |
| 4723s | automatic and manual testing for |
| 4725s | everything depending on what it |
| 4728s | is uh do you have technology to stop the |
| 4731s | game do you have the technology to stop |
| 4734s | the game while |
| 4736s | cutscene |
| 4738s | yes I just killed myself in a cut scene |
| 4740s | with auto |
| 4743s | Decay or or Decay yeah that |
| 4747s | sucks uh they should make you |
| 4753s | invincible or of deame might be an |
| 4755s | exception because it is a weird |
| 4759s | one but it should it should prevent you |
| 4761s | from dying |
| 4765s | the red dots would be nice to have in uh |
| 4768s | Arena Maps at least so you can uh run |
| 4771s | towards the mobs and do |
| 4773s | them lonar MC fluffin has ready us |
| 4777s | welcome everybody from Lone Star MC |
| 4779s | fluffin stream glad to have you with us |
| 4782s | we're uh we got about 40 minutes left in |
| 4783s | the |
| 4785s | Stream yeah |
| 4791s | relax uh our cyle going to be a set |
| 4794s | duration of time or will each cycle vary |
| 4797s | in how long they last |
| 4808s | um I I think that the the time of cycle |
| 4812s | lasts will not be static from cycle to |
| 4814s | cycle um initially we won't announce |
| 4818s | specifically whoa initially we won't |
| 4820s | specifically uh have like a this is the |
| 4823s | day that's going to end on um that that |
| 4827s | type of stuff could be added later um |
| 4830s | you know if if it's something that |
| 4831s | people are asking for from the community |
| 4834s | basically and MC fluffin has |
| 4836s | resubscribed for 33 months in a |
| 4839s | row that's a lot we're getting real |
| 4841s | close to that threeyear Mark that is |
| 4844s | that is wild thank you thank you very |
| 4846s | much |
| 4849s | um hope you're having fun |
| 4852s | still |
| 4865s | I saw your |
| 4867s | uh um you had a a D4 Le video I thought |
| 4872s | it was |
| 4875s | good there was a fair critique of both |
| 4878s | games in comparison to one |
| 4882s | another |
| 4886s | uh and H we got more stuff too we've |
| 4890s | we've got M Fulin's gift and Subs out |
| 4893s | to |
| 4896s | uh ker |
| 4899s | zo |
| 4901s | I I'm I'm trying not to die here thank |
| 4904s | you very much uh |
| 4906s | congrats uh also talica for |
| 4910s | Life |
| 4912s | nice |
| 4913s | thank you for the sub appreciate |
| 4917s | it or they appreciate |
| 4933s | it all right next question I sometimes |
| 4937s | forget that I'm not just playing a |
| 4942s | game |
| 4951s | oh don't |
| 4952s | die uh regarding Merchant skills uh do |
| 4956s | you foresee doing midcycle patches to |
| 4958s | address lopsided economy for example |
| 4959s | gold duping leading to out Rous prices |
| 4962s | inflation I mean I if something like if |
| 4965s | if if something like that gets |
| 4966s | discovered and and and and everything |
| 4969s | like that would be terrible uh but yeah |
| 4972s | we um |
| 4973s | we'll be there to to do what we got to |
| 4975s | do to you know bring things back in |
| 4982s | line we we've gotten there's there's |
| 4985s | there's one um bug where you can |
| 4988s | visually dup an item in your inventory I |
| 4990s | can't pull it off I've had I've got like |
| 4992s | four different ways that people sent me |
| 4993s | to replicate it I just like can't do it |
| 4995s | I don't know why um but like we've got a |
| 4998s | couple ways where you can like make it |
| 5000s | look like you've duped an item um and |
| 5003s | you can even go sell it uh but the item |
| 5007s | never existed and you don't get to keep |
| 5008s | the gold and as soon as you log out |
| 5010s | everything goes back the way it should |
| 5012s | be um it's just it's just a visual thing |
| 5014s | on the client the client gets confused |
| 5016s | um at no point does like so we we've run |
| 5018s | tests on it uh and the server doesn't |
| 5021s | even the server just like never accepts |
| 5023s | it it's never like a the server accepts |
| 5025s | it and corrects it no the server just |
| 5026s | never even realizes you've mistakenly |
| 5028s | done this to your |
| 5029s | UI um because it's just like that could |
| 5032s | never |
| 5044s | happen so L yeah luckily that's the |
| 5046s | closest we've come to a dupe exploit so |
| 5050s | far not ruling it out as possible |
| 5052s | because you know there's there's very |
| 5053s | smart people out there and we'll see |
| 5054s | what they come up with um but yeah if a |
| 5059s | dupe exploit or something like that and |
| 5061s | like something needs to happen yeah we |
| 5064s | we'll be on |
| 5066s | it uh any chance that we might get a |
| 5069s | revive mechanic for multiplayer we've |
| 5071s | we've toyed with this a few times um |
| 5074s | like you may notice that the uh |
| 5076s | companions basically have that already |
| 5079s | like your your your bear goes down and |
| 5080s | you walk over and revive it good to go |
| 5082s | like the system's there |
| 5086s | um it's it's it's at least for the time |
| 5089s | being intentionally not |
| 5091s | included |
| 5099s | uh will you guys add a function like Poe |
| 5101s | at the start of a cycle um it'll say x x |
| 5105s | is the first enter oh look server |
| 5107s | announcements um it we don't have it for |
| 5110s | 1.0 um sadly this is something we we've |
| 5113s | talked about and it's they're they're |
| 5115s | fantastic we love them um as as soon as |
| 5118s | we get a good way to get him in uh I'll |
| 5120s | be pushing for them to go in um |
| 5124s | we do have a server announcement system |
| 5127s | um I don't think we have a fantastic way |
| 5129s | of accurately figuring out who is the |
| 5132s | first across all of the servers to do |
| 5134s | certain things like that |
| 5139s | um but uh yeah I I I I'm I can't say |
| 5144s | it's coming for certain I'm hopeful |
| 5146s | there we go I'm hopeful that it |
| 5151s | will |
| 5155s | I always tell people don't get your |
| 5156s | hopes up I've got mine up for post |
| 5176s | one. everything everywhere all of |
| 5181s | us |
| 5196s | all |
| 5202s | right will you guys had a function like |
| 5204s | Poe at already said that uh what level |
| 5208s | of care would you say uh there is for |
| 5211s | buffing set items |
| 5213s | uh being overall viable oh |
| 5216s | gosh um the the we we've got a major |
| 5218s | change for set items coming uh post |
| 5222s | 1.0 um that in anticipation of said |
| 5225s | change have not made too many dramatic |
| 5227s | changes to set items in one point um |
| 5232s | there are some changes to some set items |
| 5234s | to improve some functionality for ones |
| 5236s | that we had initially planned to be more |
| 5238s | late game items I think um but as a |
| 5241s | general like |
| 5244s | item |
| 5245s | class item |
| 5248s | tier uh there's there's not been a major |
| 5250s | shift uh in |
| 5265s | 1.0 don't forget to tag me so see |
| 5267s | questions yeah don't forget to tag me CC |
| 5268s | questions yeah uh will we get MTX portal |
| 5272s | animation some 1.0 instead of green |
| 5274s | portal when we open portal after the |
| 5275s | completing |
| 5277s | Echo uh |
| 5281s | yes it does that already question |
| 5285s | mark didn't mine just do that like two |
| 5288s | seconds |
| 5289s | ago we'll look we'll look at the end of |
| 5292s | this Echo oh I'm already can do yeah |
| 5293s | we'll look at the end of this |
| 5299s | Echo okay so the this one does that this |
| 5302s | is the town portal though this is not |
| 5304s | the that's a different portal actually |
| 5305s | but we we'll check the other one when we |
| 5307s | get |
| 5317s | there that was a slow drop gloves oh it |
| 5321s | must been must been an |
| 5324s | enemy I did that don't worry |
| 5331s | fine |
| 5357s | that was |
| 5360s | insane okay we got through that |
| 5368s | uh will there be some kind of auction |
| 5370s | house for trading or will be third party |
| 5371s | like pee um please go check out the um |
| 5376s | gigantic post and information about the |
| 5378s | bizaar uh it's it's the bizaar is what |
| 5381s | we're calling it it is an auction house |
| 5382s | like system |
| 5386s | um uh very powerful searching systems to |
| 5390s | find the item you want immediate buyout |
| 5393s | uh instant |
| 5396s | delivery all that good |
| 5409s | stuff uh this is my intim character |
| 5411s | sheet rework reminder doing my part to |
| 5414s | keep the dream alive I mean there is |
| 5415s | technically a little bit of an update |
| 5417s | for it in 1.0 so there you |
| 5421s | go |
| 5423s | but yes the proper rework is not |
| 5441s | forgotten uh hi hello how are you hope |
| 5445s | hope you the team e year doing well we |
| 5447s | are with the shaman reworking 1.0 will |
| 5449s | there still have ways to specialize in |
| 5451s | totems the um I get for not looking at |
| 5454s | the |
| 5455s | screen the uh Al I'll read the rest of |
| 5458s | the question here and is there uh a way |
| 5460s | to see totem DPS on Hover like other |
| 5462s | skills planned U minion DPS is not quite |
| 5465s | ready yet in general um it's |
| 5469s | planned uh the the shaman rework mostly |
| 5471s | is is not a complete class rework uh I |
| 5476s | would call it more of a shaman refresh |
| 5478s | um one skill is getting completely |
| 5481s | reworked one skill is getting |
| 5483s | replaced uh that's about it and then |
| 5485s | some |
| 5506s | passives uh how often will we drop |
| 5508s | residents while playing with friends um |
| 5511s | I I I don't have an exact time with that |
| 5513s | if you are um the best way I can explain |
| 5516s | it is um there is there is a threshold |
| 5521s | where the percentage of time you're |
| 5523s | playing together compared to the |
| 5524s | percentage of time you're playing apart |
| 5526s | will be such that you'll actually have |
| 5528s | extra |
| 5529s | residences um where you'll be like oh |
| 5532s | I've got a spare residence I'll I'll |
| 5533s | wait till I find an item to use it with |
| 5534s | and you you'll actually build up more |
| 5535s | residen than you that you need um |
| 5538s | because you'll be playing together so |
| 5539s | much that most of the items you're |
| 5540s | finding are tradeable anyways um |
| 5542s | [Music] |
| 5543s | um and then there's a on the other side |
| 5546s | of that threshold you'll be like oh I've |
| 5548s | got this item I'll find a residence to |
| 5550s | be able to trade it at some point and um |
| 5553s | I don't know where that ratio of time |
| 5555s | playing together versus time playing |
| 5556s | apart that threshold sits yet |
| 5560s | um I will say that if you are |
| 5562s | specifically playing with someone with |
| 5564s | the intention of getting a residence to |
| 5567s | trade an item uh it's going to feel like |
| 5569s | it's real |
| 5571s | slow |
| 5575s | that is a that is a play pattern that is |
| 5576s | not supported and will not feel good |
| 5597s | sorry have you guys considered an |
| 5600s | extremely rare cos meic only drops for |
| 5603s | example for each mono boss have its own |
| 5605s | uh portal skin but it's very very rare |
| 5607s | so you just admire how lucky you got |
| 5610s | um not specifically uh we we we |
| 5613s | definitely talked about ways to um to |
| 5617s | get MTX items without without um |
| 5619s | purchases like like in-game achievements |
| 5621s | for MTX items that sort of stuff so on |
| 5623s | the table um we don't have any specifics |
| 5625s | planned for right now um and we don't |
| 5628s | have any um available at 1.0 yet |
| 5636s | uh love this game a lot any changes to |
| 5639s | model's progression speed yes |
| 5644s | um uh unlocking empowered is |
| 5647s | faster |
| 5650s | um the uh corruption difficulty |
| 5652s | increases faster so you don't have to |
| 5654s | grind as much of it to get the same |
| 5656s | changes |
| 5658s | before |
| 5660s | um and then we're also working on but |
| 5664s | haven't got it yet into um a a bit more |
| 5668s | of a |
| 5669s | uh um like uh subsequent character speed |
| 5674s | up as |
| 5675s | well mechanic |
| 5678s | thing that I'm intentionally being super |
| 5680s | vague |
| 5681s | about uh that's not in |
| 5683s | 1.0 uh loving the game so far not if not |
| 5687s | sure if this has been answered I'm |
| 5688s | assuming um but is it's the in-game guy |
| 5691s | getting updated yes the in game guide is |
| 5692s | getting |
| 5696s | updated uh what's your favorite SL most |
| 5698s | cool runic |
| 5704s | vacation |
| 5711s | um |
| 5712s | uh do I force this that with these |
| 5716s | skills this |
| 5719s | one uh this is why you have to change |
| 5722s | these |
| 5729s | colors |
| 5731s | nope oh what is |
| 5734s | it oh of course that cast it ah my |
| 5738s | favorite is the it's the the fire rain |
| 5740s | uh I think it's actually my favorite one |
| 5741s | to play with |
| 5744s | um but this one this is my favorite one |
| 5747s | to look at it's just |
| 5750s | great |
| 5758s | uh what's the incentive for starting new |
| 5760s | characters uh for each season um right |
| 5765s | now it is a uh a chance for a fresh |
| 5768s | start a lot of people find that really |
| 5769s | really interesting just on its own um |
| 5772s | fresh economy so there's like no one is |
| 5774s | starting with existing gear everyone's |
| 5776s | everyone's the exact same footing um |
| 5779s | this is probably uh pretty interesting |
| 5781s | for um for new players um especially who |
| 5785s | who maybe haven't played a bunch of the |
| 5787s | of the |
| 5788s | [Music] |
| 5789s | beta run of research we will gladly take |
| 5798s | those um as as we get into um future |
| 5802s | Cycles down the road that sort of stuff |
| 5804s | there'll be there'll be other things as |
| 5805s | well also just the ability to compete on |
| 5808s | the ladder that's a pretty big one for a |
| 5809s | lot of |
| 5810s | people |
| 5814s | as it currently stands only one person |
| 5816s | can gamble gold at the end of a run of |
| 5818s | lightless |
| 5819s | Arbor um if you do it in multiplayer any |
| 5822s | he plans to allow everyone in the party |
| 5823s | to be able to gamble gold uh there was |
| 5826s | there was some technical problem that |
| 5827s | causes us not to work um but if we can |
| 5833s | yes uh what Guild will be joining on 1.0 |
| 5836s | uh the item faction that I'll be |
| 5838s | starting with on 1.0 will probably be |
| 5840s | circle of Fortune |
| 5842s | but I I I am interested to just like get |
| 5846s | involved with the with the |
| 5848s | um with the bizarre a little bit so just |
| 5851s | just cuz that's I'm really not sure how |
| 5854s | that's going to go specifically how the |
| 5855s | community is going to react to it how |
| 5857s | the community is going to react to the |
| 5858s | wrong word how how the community is |
| 5860s | going to engage with it um that I'm |
| 5862s | really interested in seeing firsthand so |
| 5864s | I Myer skill just just out of from a |
| 5866s | like academic |
| 5868s | standpoint it it sounds weird |
| 5874s | um will items automatically return to |
| 5876s | inventory from Forge when closing the |
| 5877s | crafting interface I lost items into the |
| 5880s | forge so many times uh no the problem |
| 5883s | with that is is that you can set up your |
| 5884s | inventory such that you can't have it |
| 5886s | automatically return there uh and then |
| 5888s | you close it and you're used to it |
| 5890s | automatically returning um as a as a |
| 5892s | thing so like consistency is more |
| 5894s | important than that I think |
| 5899s | um unsure though |
| 5906s | super excited about La me too question |
| 5909s | can you please include up to three |
| 5910s | sounds that players can customize for |
| 5912s | certain drops it's off screen so we can |
| 5914s | look for it um well uh if you have a |
| 5917s | suggestion for the game please put it on |
| 5919s | the suggestion places so we can look at |
| 5920s | it I don't write anything down from the |
| 5922s | stream um this is something that gets |
| 5924s | suggested proba fairly regularly um it |
| 5926s | is way too late to add something |
| 5929s | anything to uh to one 1.0 so as far as |
| 5932s | 1.0 is concerned no um beyond that maybe |
| 5936s | please put a suggestion on the |
| 5938s | appropriate suggestion places uh forums |
| 5941s | um |
| 5943s | Discord the best places the dedicated |
| 5945s | suggestion |
| 5947s | sections or just add to another one |
| 5949s | start there cuz I know this one's there |
| 5950s | a few |
| 5960s | times |
| 5964s | great thief's |
| 5970s | cash that's an interesting ring not for |
| 5973s | this |
| 5978s | character it's a weird item it doesn't |
| 5980s | know what it wants to |
| 5990s | be |
| 5995s | all |
| 5997s | right uh will there be something like a |
| 5999s | season's pass in the Cycles uh we don't |
| 6001s | have any plans for one and 1.0 |
| 6004s | definitely won't have |
| 6005s | one that's one of those things that |
| 6008s | like um I think it's possible to do |
| 6011s | something like that in a really cool way |
| 6015s | um I don't I don't think it would fit |
| 6018s | with our game very |
| 6020s | well um |
| 6023s | so we're not planning on doing it but um |
| 6027s | I think I think there's ways to like |
| 6028s | just just like outside of last EP |
| 6030s | talking about games in general I think |
| 6032s | there are ways to do seasons pass style |
| 6034s | mechanics and systems really well um I |
| 6038s | don't have a good example of it I'm sure |
| 6039s | there are good examples of it I don't um |
| 6042s | I don't know when else to my have but |
| 6043s | like I think most of the things that |
| 6045s | people dislike about season past |
| 6047s | mechanics in general |
| 6050s | um you know are are uh are |
| 6059s | fixable but you know I I because of |
| 6063s | because of how we're doing like cycles |
| 6065s | and the content for those Cycles um I |
| 6068s | feel like it's like if you're going to |
| 6071s | if you're going to break down in very |
| 6072s | broad terms what a season's pass is and |
| 6074s | how the Cycles are going to work on all |
| 6076s | sorts of things I think you can draw a |
| 6077s | lot of parallels there |
| 6080s | um but I don't I don't think formalizing |
| 6083s | it as the season's pass would be |
| 6084s | beneficial for our game um and I don't |
| 6087s | think having it be a uh especially the |
| 6090s | content to be interacted with being paid |
| 6092s | is the big problem so like that's |
| 6093s | something we don't want to split people |
| 6095s | on is like we don't want you to ever hop |
| 6096s | into game and say like all right I'm |
| 6098s | going to go do this challenge for my |
| 6099s | season's pass and your buddy's like I |
| 6101s | didn't buy the season's pass so I don't |
| 6102s | get to do that challenge it's like |
| 6104s | that's that that's the key interaction |
| 6105s | that we don't want to happen really |
| 6109s | um so yeah I I I I feel like having it |
| 6112s | just be more along the lines of hey the |
| 6115s | this like this the patch drop the new |
| 6117s | Cycle's out and there's this there's |
| 6119s | this new boss to go fight in the cycle |
| 6121s | um you know and it it drops cool new |
| 6124s | gear like that's that's the same thing |
| 6125s | really but instead of it being a like a |
| 6128s | split on the community it's a it's |
| 6130s | something that everyone can do |
| 6135s | together so we we don't look at it like |
| 6137s | a season's pass but I think you could I |
| 6140s | think you could like make it an argument |
| 6142s | for why it's essentially the same |
| 6166s | thing all more |
| 6170s | questions |
| 6176s | uh will it be Spell blade getting a |
| 6178s | balance pass to be competitive balance |
| 6179s | Mastery for mage um I don't have any |
| 6182s | details on potential upcoming balance |
| 6183s | changes for |
| 6185s | 1.0 uh we do look at various classes for |
| 6189s | balancing |
| 6198s | and one's in there |
| 6204s | hello |
| 6210s | hey L quiet belt love it |
| 6214s | [Music] |
| 6217s | um more questions answered I feel like |
| 6220s | this question squid 997 I think I |
| 6221s | answered |
| 6222s | already |
| 6223s | [Music] |
| 6225s | um I'm taking a week off at |
| 6228s | launch |
| 6229s | uh your dedic A's impressive uh have |
| 6233s | been waiting for this for years going to |
| 6234s | be a |
| 6236s | blast I'm going to I'm going to not take |
| 6240s | take a week off work right away but uh |
| 6243s | you know a couple weeks after launch I |
| 6244s | might take a week |
| 6248s | off uh I know my wife would like that |
| 6251s | will we see stack of four devs blasting |
| 6254s | Ellie in a party on release uh there's |
| 6256s | there's going to be way more than just |
| 6258s | four of us playing on release I think |
| 6264s | oh I've got another one of these I got |
| 6266s | got some else to |
| 6277s | share another item art oh I wonder what |
| 6280s | this one could be |
| 6283s | ah you look at that and you're like is |
| 6285s | that is that a necklace is it an idol is |
| 6288s | it a relic is it like a catalyst |
| 6291s | list it's hard to |
| 6293s | tell kind of it's a little abstract what |
| 6296s | do you guys think it |
| 6298s | is uh what is the feedback you're |
| 6300s | receiving after announcing item factions |
| 6303s | is the general population learning a |
| 6304s | certain way from what you have seen um I |
| 6307s | mean I I think that the feedback we |
| 6309s | received was like overwhelmingly |
| 6311s | positive um obviously not everyone |
| 6314s | there's lots of people that don't like |
| 6315s | it um and you know we were never trying |
| 6319s | to get a perfect situation for everyone |
| 6321s | it was uh I think it's going to be a |
| 6323s | very very good situation for the vast |
| 6326s | majority of people which is |
| 6329s | like so great I mean if I'm right there |
| 6333s | that's oh that's that's oh so good so |
| 6337s | yeah it's um the the feedback and the |
| 6339s | reactions from the community have been |
| 6341s | amazing |
| 6342s | um that's that's really nice to see the |
| 6346s | the feedback and reactions for a post uh |
| 6348s | like what like a year and a half ago now |
| 6350s | before this |
| 6351s | what we were planning doing before that |
| 6353s | reaction did not feel |
| 6355s | good at |
| 6359s | all uh this one this one's really nice |
| 6362s | though uh did you plan enough sleep the |
| 6364s | upcoming Sprints I mean I'm almost I'm |
| 6366s | I'm into like little things here in |
| 6368s | there mode right now all of my work's |
| 6372s | done it's a boat it could be anything |
| 6374s | you know what you want one of |
| 6379s | those |
| 6385s | and because I set this up beforehand I |
| 6387s | can just boom right into the corner I |
| 6389s | did I planned for this I |
| 6391s | swear |
| 6393s | um let's go let's go right to the right |
| 6395s | to the boss |
| 6399s | fight wait what's what what do we have |
| 6401s | here oh oh we've got Mark for death |
| 6403s | that's that's oh good |
| 6408s | good uh do we just go for it for |
| 6412s | it just accept Mark for death in this |
| 6417s | fight oh it's the still push it's the |
| 6419s | version you can still push it right |
| 6422s | yeah |
| 6424s | uh it's not going to go |
| 6427s | well what's what's what's our necro res |
| 6430s | like okay good at least at least that's |
| 6432s | capped physical is basically capped he |
| 6434s | doesn't do void I don't |
| 6439s | think ah no guts no |
| 6469s | glory |
| 6478s | confirm no bug fixes for two months cuz |
| 6480s | theu staff is |
| 6481s | [Laughter] |
| 6483s | blasting uh |
| 6486s | no oh get out of |
| 6490s | there no there's going to be lots of bug |
| 6492s | fixes right |
| 6495s | away there's always there's always some |
| 6497s | little things that that get |
| 6499s | found |
| 6502s | you go from hundreds of people testing |
| 6504s | to thousands of people testing there's |
| 6505s | there's just there's new situations that |
| 6507s | come |
| 6508s | up every |
| 6529s | time |
| 6534s | uh do you guys work using an agile |
| 6536s | program no it ran out early that was |
| 6538s | close to being really |
| 6539s | bad uh do you guys work using agile |
| 6541s | program yeah we |
| 6544s | um there's not like a specific framework |
| 6547s | that we're like it's it's specifically |
| 6550s | this variant um but yeah like we we have |
| 6553s | you know standups and Sprints and uh all |
| 6556s | all those sorts of |
| 6558s | things and band Bo |
| 6562s | all all that |
| 6586s | jazz oh there's something there's |
| 6588s | something in there that's blocking that |
| 6589s | Dash from happening |
| 6592s | we're just going to walk in and |
| 6614s | out just nice and easy nice and easy you |
| 6617s | don't need need any movement skills just |
| 6620s | got to react |
| 6631s | quickly I'm going to die to it at some |
| 6649s | point |
| 6661s | oh no no |
| 6669s | no I didn't see it at all I just I just |
| 6671s | I got |
| 6673s | complacent oh that's not where I want to |
| 6679s | be |
| 6681s | boom |
| 6683s | boom all right 17 all res is going to be |
| 6686s | hard to beat crit avoidance is |
| 6692s | nice what's our CRS |
| 6699s | like it's not capped which is a |
| 6703s | problem I think the 17 Al resz is is |
| 6707s | more |
| 6709s | important |
| 6713s | I feel like pulling them out of that to |
| 6715s | CR point is probably |
| 6728s | easier oh yeah let's look yes there's |
| 6731s | the this is the this is the green |
| 6734s | portal oh that might not be a green |
| 6736s | portal they were all doing |
| 6738s | it we said I would check and I just |
| 6741s | didn't |
| 6749s | earlier uh will we ever not be able to |
| 6752s | move bosses around it feels wrong yes |
| 6755s | February |
| 6757s | 21st all all |
| 6766s | right let's go hit one of I guess we got |
| 6769s | five minutes left it's not really much |
| 6770s | much to |
| 6773s | do uh do you know if there's a fix |
| 6775s | coming 1.0 or if the team is aware of a |
| 6778s | bug where if you die you can't respawn |
| 6780s | that happens numerous times to me and I |
| 6782s | did report it as well if you report it |
| 6783s | we're aware of it we've it's either on |
| 6785s | the list to fix or it's been fixed or |
| 6788s | you know it's it's somewhere in that |
| 6789s | pipeline I don't know I don't know where |
| 6790s | it is in that pipeline |
| 6796s | sorry damage kicks and welcome with your |
| 6799s | raing party |
| 6801s | we don't have much time in the Stream |
| 6802s | left about five minutes left so won't be |
| 6804s | too much to see and do |
| 6807s | but try we'll try and have some fun |
| 6811s | stuff this you to see |
| 6815s | that uh probably asked before about any |
| 6818s | talks of a title system for completing |
| 6821s | hard and extremely hard tasks for |
| 6823s | example like old Guild Wars titles back |
| 6825s | in the day ah I know them |
| 6827s | well |
| 6829s | um Love love those titles uh I still not |
| 6832s | Guild Wars uh this title but I still |
| 6835s | remember um getting the grand Crusader |
| 6839s | title uh it's |
| 6844s | like wore that for like four patch four |
| 6848s | expansions past wrath to the point KN no |
| 6852s | one knows what it's for anymore you're |
| 6854s | like it's really hard I swear guys go |
| 6857s | look up Grand Crusader wow title um |
| 6863s | yes there is |
| 6867s | um uh I I would say some loose loose |
| 6869s | plans for title systems |
| 6874s | um and uh I I can still think something |
| 6876s | added we don't have anything right |
| 6889s | now |
| 6895s | yeah I'm caught |
| 6897s | up it feels good feels weird what what |
| 6900s | do I usually do with my hands is this |
| 6902s | this |
| 6917s | normal yeah so so we're just going to |
| 6920s | we're really looking forward to launch |
| 6925s | um it's this whole thing's been a little |
| 6928s | overwhelming for me uh |
| 6931s | personally but really really |
| 6938s | cool is that how we're going to end |
| 6941s | stream that is that what we're going to |
| 6946s | do oh that was so |
| 6949s | dumb |
| 6953s | three minutes left spam some questions |

| 6985s | able to actually say that we've released |
| 6986s | a |
