Transcript (by Youtube)

3s	good afternoon everybody and welcome
5s	back to another last Epoch Dev stream as
8s	usual I'm your host
10s	Mike hello
13s	everybody about five minutes
15s	ago I had an audio malfunction so we're
18s	back to the
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
6954s	go for
6979s	it
6983s	I just can't wait to be able to like be
6985s	able to actually say that we've released
6986s	a
6989s	game I think that's that's a big part of
6992s	it for me on just like a personal
6997s	level 10-year-old Mike's really excited
6999s	about
7008s	that

Transcript (by Youtube)

2s	good afternoon everybody and welcome
5s	back to another last Epoch Dev stream as
8s	usual I'm your host
10s	Mike hello
13s	everybody about five minutes
15s	ago I had an audio malfunction so we're
18s	back to the
20s	headphones let me know if the uh balance
22s	is okay and
23s	everything we're we're we're we're going
25s	back to we had a little contest a little
27s	while ago and I really enjoyed the the
30s	um
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
47s	your first time here welcome glad to
49s	have you with us as always we stream for
50s	charity right above my head um if you
53s	have a question for me I'd love to
55s	answer it please put atlast Eck game in
57s	the question so I can see what it is
63s	just let's just see let's just see how
64s	this does I think this might be easy
67s	but 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
103s	nerves all around um I don't think this
106s	a world where I wouldn't be nervous no
109s	matter how good things
119s	are yeah
121s	we we've been batting down the hatches
123s	getting the last few little things
141s	in will sets ever be worth anything or
144s	get LP just use them for like 500 gold
146s	tokens yeah so sets sets have um some
150s	clear shortcomings I 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
168s	go um and I I think that it's kind
173s	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 for sure
181s	uh namely in the the length of set items
184s	tool tips at some point would be
186s	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
206s	it's going to be a lot more
209s	fun
216s	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
249s	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
260s	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
268s	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 just we're
282s	going to have to evaluate what's going
291s	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
300s	I mean it's 11th hour somewhere but you
302s	know you
304s	what 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
321s	mean I think we're we're sort of trying
323s	to
325s	hit I time is probably a bad way to look
328s	at it for us right now
330s	um I think it's more in
332s	the um activity investment category so
336s	like we try and have uh like goals that
339s	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
350s	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
372s	others and things like that so like
373s	there's I guess
375s	more C like teers
377s	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 um
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
394s	Milestones um that we're sort of
396s	expecting out of some people and not out
397s	of others and it's less about how long
399s	people are actually
404s	playing and I'm I bet there's someone
406s	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 player base
451s	sharing uh and I think we've done pretty
453s	well like we're we're not going to hit
454s	too much here I I I would prefer them to
458s	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
479s	EPO and and playing on launch day and
481s	all that sort of stuff um are going to
484s	sort of regardless of if ELD the ring
487s	drops that [ __ ] 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 can't do that you know
511s	just just lots of little
513s	things that I'm uh I've gotten used to
517s	working good
519s	news uh is it possible to get a better
521s	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
529s	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 that s 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
547s	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 just too many
575s	changes I reported a bug
579s	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
596s	Windows language please fix okay yeah we
599s	any any bugs your Port will work
602s	on are are we going to see more
604s	Cosmetics at launch
608s	yes yeah 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
660s	it'll be uh it'll it'll be it'll be a
662s	little
665s	more sometimes that's also um reducing
669s	the size of some of the zones as
672s	well so there's uh there's a few um uh
676s	monolith echos 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
685s	live I don't think this was last patch
688s	the problem I get I confus 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
707s	the Cycles going to be the same as
708s	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 we do have a
720s	plan for what that's going to look like
721s	um we know what's coming like we we
723s	we've got a a pretty solid plan for 1.1
726s	um you know like we we we do have a a
730s	general idea of what it's going to look
731s	like going forward but a lot of it's
733s	going to be based on like the how the
735s	the patch does um feedback we get from
738s	it how we feel playing it you know
740s	there's there's a lot of things that are
742s	going to
743s	influence how we adjust that strategy
746s	going forward um I think it's going to
748s	be I think it's going to be a lot
751s	of uh at least the first few patches I
753s	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 core things in
780s	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 like
791s	we we might start looking at adding 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
804s	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
811s	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
822s	that we're planning are are going to be
824s	cyc and Legacy right out of the
829s	gate that's what we're planning right
832s	now see what happens
838s	though
842s	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
880s	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 the
899s	CT
908s	insane we started we started making the
911s	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
926s	this change was from your cryptic
928s	message of
930s	uh fixed fixed the this node in that
933s	thing like what what was wrong with
943s	it it's going to be
947s	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
966s	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
972s	show off a lot of things like
988s	that
991s	prison 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 uh what we got next question any
1021s	chance to get further insight into
1023s	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
1029s	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
1040s	be it's going to be a mixed bag I
1047s	think
1069s	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
1094s	the cycle gets that is like a lot of
1096s	power that is going to go away at the
1098s	end of the cycle and and not come
1107s	back
1110s	dxc just
1112s	uh expand on that question for me
1116s	please uh yeah if if you do have a
1118s	question for me please put at last OT
1119s	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
1133s	content like like like player
1135s	suggestions and things like that yeah of
1137s	course
1142s	I'm sure this has been asked before but
1144s	are there any future plans to have
1145s	shards not go 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
1169s	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 all wor
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 I know the get commit pain big
1203s	offender of fix I I always play you got
1206s	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
1231s	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
1244s	game should be with 1.0 roughly what can
1246s	we expect that to change um yeah so the
1250s	the way you interact with the end game
1252s	is changing um
1257s	the
1260s	like the rewards for end game is
1261s	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
1274s	changing but depending on how you look
1276s	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 high
1288s	priority for us for most of the
1292s	patches
1296s	um like that we we've already planned
1299s	which are the first
1302s	few oh my goodness what is going
1306s	on I I my finger was pressing two
1308s	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
1324s	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
1346s	fun oh ice be
1350s	save
1356s	me
1369s	R Steve why are you such why are you
1372s	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
1389s	underpowered um yeah so we do we do this
1393s	is I uh two weeks ago I went to a very
1396s	long explanation of this
1398s	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]
1413s	um there's a lot of ways we can do that
1418s	and have major problems happen uh so
1420s	we're going to be very careful in how we
1425s	um you know how how we execute on that
1428s	and
1430s	uh there's yeah the few big pitfalls you
1434s	know n nerfing a build that's that's
1435s	doing really well too hard cause a lot
1438s	of problems
1441s	um
1442s	nerfing uh or buffing too many other
1445s	builds to compensate uh can leave you in
1447s	a position at the end of the cycle where
1448s	you have to Nerf too many things and you
1450s	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
1495s	new skills for all classes um I mean
1498s	yeah so
1499s	the like Mage is
1502s	stacked Mage is stacked so like it'll be
1505s	a while before there's a new Mage skill
1506s	I think um but like you go up in the
1509s	same panel on Rogue even even after the
1511s	falconer and it's like yeesh where's all
1514s	the
1516s	skills um so yeah yeah we we'll keep
1518s	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 AO 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
1551s	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
1557s	doesn't taken off the list it just goes
1559s	to the bottom of the
1572s	list oh Idol is going to make me try and
1575s	read all these in the middle of the
1579s	thing cold dos not
1587s	bad
1592s	wait they're basically not none of them
1594s	are for
1605s	me right next
1607s	[Music]
1608s	question for power y give me his
1610s	character power that's temporary for
1611s	cycle then remove replaces something um
1613s	else the next CLE okay cool just I just
1615s	wanted to make sure that I was uh that
1618s	right
1619s	um I I that's not something we're
1622s	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 we were trying
1649s	something really experimental and it did
1652s	not go
1653s	well and we're like okay yeah the
1655s	experiment failed uh pull that
1658s	out try
1661s	again you like it would yeah it would
1663s	have had gone really
1677s	bad
1682s	more
1684s	more I just want to shout out whoever's
1686s	designning UI for
1688s	last shout
1690s	out here we go I don't I don't know if I
1693s	I'm allow to say names of people on
1694s	stream or not but you know who you are
1696s	and you're awesome F you d
1706s	tabulous
1715s	uh I'm very curious about whether in the
1717s	future models will be made exactly like
1719s	the images in the inventory of the
1721s	equipment including unique ones uh now
1723s	only weapons have models exactly like an
1725s	image if I'm not mistaken um there are a
1727s	couple other things than just weapons
1729s	but for the most part yes you are
1731s	correct
1732s	[Music]
1733s	um yeah we're we're going to keep we're
1735s	going to keep adding in new uh unique
1738s	models into game it's it's it's one of
1741s	those things where it's like it's a slow
1742s	process but we're going to keep 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
1762s	really important part of everything um
1765s	really coming
1766s	together
1772s	I am not a man of many pockets that
1775s	voice L gets me every
1787s	time 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 1 1.0 well there's a bug
1814s	right now I'm trying to fix with it so
1816s	maybe
1817s	[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
1837s	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 it would not
1857s	be power rewards would be cosmetic
1863s	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 rog'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
1942s	Rock it's one of I I love the it's like
1946s	you got Nick it's also Sean remember
1948s	like this is this is not just a Nick C
1951s	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
1974s	remake all right uh what what was the
1978s	why was the decision to keep bug fixes
1981s	like uh with Rogue flurry multi-shot and
1984s	detonating arrow 2 1.0 not emergency
1986s	patch
1990s	um sometimes something seems like it can
1994s	be fixed in
1995s	isolation um but but really it's a
1999s	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	much l ler issue um and the volume of
2011s	things that it touched um and and other
2015s	systems that it interacted with meant
2017s	that we would have been releasing a very
2019s	major patch uh which would have required
2021s	uh much more QA bandwidth and uh would
2025s	have taken away from what we could
2026s	actually push out at 1.0 we got to a
2028s	point where 1.0 was the only thing that
2030s	mattered and unless it was like a
2035s	really really impact bug that would sto
2038s	people from playing the game
2039s	altoe um or was like super easy to fix
2045s	uh like super low risk to fix you know
2047s	there's there's sort of those two things
2049s	like
2050s	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
2069s	point it was going to be better because
2070s	we didn't do
2082s	that which I know sounds
2096s	ridiculous
2100s	next
2103s	question Oh all masteries have five
2105s	skills at 1.0 no for example Shaman only
2108s	has four will still only have four at
2109s	launch while JW has five yeah so um
2112s	Paladin will only have four uh Shaman
2115s	will only have
2116s	four
2120s	uh Lich will only have
2126s	four
2132s	what am I
2136s	missing are Marksman and blade dancer
2138s	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
2157s	said
2163s	that almost all of the new skills are
2167s	for Warlock and
2168s	Falcon there only one new skill that's
2186s	not
2194s	stand all right next question any plans
2198s	uh for a server slam session before 1.0
2200s	we've 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 think 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
2231s	valuable or not to do
2242s	that it's the two three rows of Buffs
2244s	showing by default that's it's always
2246s	been that way it's just run master gets
2247s	a weird amount of
2249s	Buffs I way too many might I don't look
2251s	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
2262s	later patch yeah uh all of the faces got
2266s	a touch up I might be wrong on that I
2268s	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
2286s	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
2317s	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 things to choose from
2337s	so
2340s	yeah I
2343s	think
2345s	uh will there be additional campaign
2348s	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
2370s	here's the problem is I don't think I've
2371s	added anything on my
2380s	own it's really hard to like oh yes I
2384s	added
2385s	that
2392s	um I I think just like just skills
2395s	skills and skill treats that I've worked
2396s	on
2399s	that's my favorite part of design and
2413s	development get out of
2423s	those hey next question um
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
2452s	that is what I thought you meant um that
2455s	that style of thing is very
2458s	appealing and I'd be very surprised if
2460s	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
2484s	stuff I am not man of
2489s	many come on
2494s	tyon get some more
2503s	Pockets really really want that all R 2
2505s	all RS to happen don't they
2509s	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
2528s	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 mean 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
2551s	now to specifically add that specific
2553s	feature
2556s	um I I think it's the sort of thing
2557s	we'll probably look forward to if we get
2560s	feedback that some people want which is
2562s	something that gets asked 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
2588s	system uh exactly what that looks like
2591s	and how that works I don't have any info
2592s	on that I can
2604s	share all right
2608s	uh any metrics on the most and least
2610s	played classes so far we do have that
2612s	info I have no idea what it
2615s	is I'd be pretty surprised
2618s	if
2621s	um you know i' I'd be pretty surprised
2623s	if it
2626s	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 this probably
2636s	there's not a lot of uh interesting
2637s	information in there I don't
2643s	think uh also will the very old boss
2647s	models be updated in
2649s	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
2678s	might there might be some little ones
2680s	but for the most part
2692s	now uh laging cities is bad now are the
2695s	things that we'll 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
2702s	going to be perfect or something like
2703s	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
2718s	multiplayer functionality and you know
2721s	ease of use and and having it play
2723s	nicely and whole the whole user
2725s	experience for multipl player 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 has being
2764s	asked before probably that's okay uh but
2766s	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
2780s	version because it's something we talked
2781s	about earlier in the Stream
2783s	um it's it initially it's Al together um
2788s	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
2829s	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 it's not
2847s	a uh not a guarantee until it
2868s	happens un scale of 1 to 10 how tired
2872s	are we of Shield the apocalypse asked
2874s	earli on Discord God kind of drowned out
2877s	um I did actually see it I was very busy
2879s	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
2891s	lately at all I've been way too busy I
2893s	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 so
2936s	you're not going to drop that countering
2951s	great are you considering making genders
2953s	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
2965s	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	no
2997s	that's right I went to the Prometheus
2998s	School of running away from
3003s	[Music]
3004s	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
3016s	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
3027s	have when we look towards new platforms
3029s	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
3038s	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 coming after 1.0
3056s	previous one was great yeah um the the
3059s	reason why there's no like post 1.0 road
3061s	map up right now is cuz we really want
3063s	to keep the focus on 1.0 and if we're
3066s	like 1.0 is going to be great look at
3068s	the stuff coming at 1.1 ah yeah it's
3072s	it's sort of like it takes away from the
3074s	1.0 launch so we're like we're really
3076s	like let's just focus everything on 1.0
3078s	right now once that's settled and and
3081s	all sort stuff we we can start looking
3082s	at the 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
3160s	example regardless of what skill kills a
3162s	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
3196s	possible it's not something we have
3198s	planned at the
3201s	moment uh since Peewee Gauntlet is
3203s	running right now our competitive is
3206s	events ladders and speedruns something
3208s	ESG 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
3244s	our with our own twists our own spin
3246s	build it for 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
3264s	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're
3273s	if we're trying to find us find
3274s	something to do those same things like
3276s	if we're looking at a system uh we're
3278s	looking at what problem does it solve
3280s	we're looking at do we have that problem
3282s	can we solve that problem uh how is best
3284s	to solve that problem and it's it's less
3286s	about looking on like how that feature
3287s	works and more what problem that feature
3289s	is trying to
3292s	solve CU because the solution might look
3294s	completely different in our game
3296s	or 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
3332s	outside the
3335s	window all right next
3337s	question scrolling scrolling scrolling
3340s	keep that chat
3344s	rolling uh did you get your degree in
3348s	escapology uh no we we we
3350s	[Music]
3352s	failed
3354s	uh I had the right answer at the end but
3356s	I didn't solve one of the clues and uh
3358s	so it doesn't
3361s	count I am not a
3363s	man I assume you're referring to the
3365s	escape room that I just went and did
3368s	recently that I talked about on stream I
3373s	think uh Yi scaling would help people
3375s	with bad eyesight textas 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 uh
3389s	Tech size which I know is not a good
3392s	solution right now but if it's like
3393s	preventing 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 loving your streams thank you I
3413s	have a general question how hard is it
3415s	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 I've never added achievements to
3432s	a steam game so I don't really know the
3434s	answer to the question before um for
3436s	before we go too far into 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
3445s	add for
3446s	achievements
3449s	um and you might not want to do the
3452s	achievements until you can add all the
3453s	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
3464s	party welcome to the show stay a while
3467s	and listen wrong
3469s	game
3474s	uh
3478s	uh what was I saying oh yeah
3479s	achievements and steam so yeah like it's
3482s	possible that if you're like on multiple
3483s	platforms and you want to add
3485s	achievements all around maybe the other
3487s	platforms can be holding it up I don't
3488s	know I'm just speculating on reasons why
3490s	you might not add it at this point
3493s	um for us the reason it's not in yet is
3496s	just because we've got so many other
3497s	things that are like strictly gameplay
3500s	Centric features that need to be fixed
3501s	and need to be added um you know are
3505s	great but having the game look better
3507s	play better and have more options is
3509s	more important to us so we're starting
3510s	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
3532s	earlier uh it could be the severed hand
3536s	death MTX where the mobs uh severed head
3539s	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
3549s	effect that is especially model specific
3552s	like I know I'm just like looking at
3553s	like the specific uh suggestion again
3555s	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
3567s	cost us an insane amount of money to
3570s	implement like oh my God insane
3574s	um cu the head of every model something
3577s	has to be able to come off um you know
3580s	so it's it's and and I I know you're
3582s	you're not like looking for specific
3583s	examples here but it's just like um be
3587s	the point the reason I'm pointing this
3588s	out is I'm trying to show that um all of
3591s	the
3593s	Cosmetics that are here
3595s	affect your character only so there's
3597s	one object in the world that's really
3599s	affected by this there's there's I mean
3601s	skills affect the skills you shoot out
3602s	but it's it doesn't care about each
3604s	individual enemy really it's just you
3608s	um when we start doing enemy specific
3611s	things um suddenly those things need to
3614s	be generic enough that they just work
3616s	with every
3624s	enemy
3626s	excuse me that was
3631s	uh 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 to reasonably do so it's it's
3644s	um possible but I'd say not anytime
3650s	soon are there un there are there any
3653s	undiscovered builds left I mean I would
3655s	assume so I I they're undiscovered so I
3657s	don't
3663s	know
3666s	oh I got something cool to
3670s	share here's something
3673s	NE here is some new art some new item
3676s	art for a belt hopefully obviously it's
3678s	a
3680s	belt
3681s	[Music]
3683s	um I'm not going to give the
3686s	exact uh situation this belt shows
3696s	up all
3699s	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 trying to um stop people
3717s	from functionally being able to do it
3719s	like um like trying to detect an
3721s	AutoCast script or trying to detect
3723s	nlock tricks and things like that I I
3726s	think attempting to do that is foolish
3728s	at
3729s	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
3739s	less about uh trying
3742s	to uh like prevent people from doing it
3745s	and more trying to change the game such
3747s	that people don't want to do
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
3760s	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
3770s	to do it cool have fun um
3778s	uh I know it's a little bit lighter
3779s	stance than I've I've mentioned before I
3782s	think not much lighter but a little bit
3783s	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
3799s	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
3832s	focus on 1.0 right now
3858s	all
3863s	right
3865s	uh a lot of companies struggle to with
3867s	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
3889s	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
3915s	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
3929s	that for us
3931s	and I don't I don't know if we've ever
3933s	been in a situation where it's like a
3935s	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 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
3947s	the time what are you talking about I'm
3948s	like H I don't know guys I'm just uh
3951s	just here streaming what am I supposed
3953s	to do um yay so so there's I think
3959s	uh I I think there's a lot of room
3962s	for
3964s	um like improvements there from us for
3967s	sure uh and yeah I think it's just a
3971s	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 G
3991s	and stuff like this like we have such an
3993s	easy time compared to them because um
3997s	because our communities are so much
3999s	smaller or we're not we're not dealing
4001s	with um millions of players yet
4005s	hopefully
4009s	um and and you know like there's so so I
4012s	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
4021s	them
4037s	what
4042s	what trying not to die
4045s	didn't even look my boy res was where's
4048s	the c key there it is down there oh 48
4050s	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
4083s	I what is
4087s	real
4089s	uh I still saying with that St yeah I
4091s	yeah
4093s	I I don't know I hope I answered that
4096s	well enough
4099s	sorry what is real has happened before
4108s	all
4109s	right I didn't even look what the
4111s	corruption change was going to be oh big
4113s	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
4155s	is 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 no because I don't
4179s	know what it
4180s	is in the few days few few days before
4184s	patch not
4186s	much uh are there any plans the future
4189s	for some sockets gem run words like
4191s	D2 this is such a long question we get
4193s	it so much
4195s	um yes is the short answer
4199s	um the complicated answer involves some
4202s	cryptic thing about how our items are
4203s	already that essentially and you know
4210s	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
4218s	getting individual discreet very rare
4220s	pieces um and then you combine them
4222s	together uh to make a much more powerful
4225s	and much more rare piece altogether um
4227s	there's an element of random rolling
4229s	when that happens you know like that's
4231s	that's a a very vague definition of Rune
4234s	wordss in Diablo I um uh sockets like
4239s	you could take in you take gems you take
4241s	individual items and you can socket them
4245s	into a uh into an item you know like
4249s	it's a very rough definition of our of
4251s	our just item system so it's there
4253s	there's a lot of overlap in the crafting
4255s	stuff that we already have there which
4256s	is why we can't this is what I was
4257s	talking about earlier about taking
4258s	systems and just like just like pulling
4259s	them out of one game and plunking them
4261s	in another and it's like what problem is
4262s	it solving what what what goal is it
4264s	achieving and and how can we do that
4266s	with our own
4267s	Spin and the legendary system um D DT
4270s	run wordss were a huge piece of
4272s	inspiration for the legendary system
4278s	um
4281s	yeah um at the same time like that style
4284s	of system is fantastic uh and I can see
4288s	us using something similar other
4290s	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
4309s	don't have any effect there's um yeah
4312s	there's some this you're not not alone
4314s	there um uh it's it's something we've
4317s	we've worked very hard to to fix
4321s	so should be
4323s	good need to use the tag who didn't tag
4332s	me uh you ask it again if you want
4338s	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	C Oh Come bosses I didn't see the is
4356s	um I uh there's been some difficulty
4358s	shifts in
4360s	general nothing huge there is a new opin
4363s	difficulty system if you really want to
4364s	challenge you can can go for um details
4368s	on that will be at patch
4372s	notes
4375s	uh just to confirm the starting cycle
4378s	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 which as soon as you're not
4406s	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
4429s	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
4478s	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
4492s	stilla thank you you're welcome I'm not
4495s	sure what for but you're
4497s	welcome uh any chance the curse cation
4500s	in the future we do not currently have
4502s	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
4539s	Auto pickup like all this yes sorry I
4543s	laugh because it gets ass 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
4573s	um you know if it's something that gets
4576s	put in our feedback and suggestions
4577s	channels a bunch you know we we we'll
4579s	look at it always look at stuff that's
4581s	in those
4582s	channels but right now there's no uh
4586s	nothing for that at the
4605s	moment uh is gold drop rates changes
4608s	with
4609s	1.0 um I don't know
4621s	almost sneezed close
4630s	one think I just figured out why the
4632s	audio wasn't working on my headset
4642s	earlier uh
4644s	two questions do you guys do automated
4647s	tests everything you fix skill trait
4648s	it's a huge game so many interactions so
4651s	I just curious um we do 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
4666s	run on every single commit that gets
4668s	pushed no matter what
4670s	um they're they're they're pretty pretty
4672s	basic it's so like a is this going to
4675s	make it so this game will no longer ever
4677s	be possible to be built and
4678s	played if that fails don't merge it
4683s	um uh then
4685s	there's um there there's a Code r view
4688s	that happens for any any code chain gets
4690s	code reviewed by at least one person
4695s	um
4697s	and uh then then for anything that's a
4700s	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]
4720s	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 St the
4731s	game do you have the technology to to
4733s	stop 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 De might be an
4755s	exception CU it is a weird
4759s	one but it should it should prevent you
4761s	from
4762s	dying
4765s	the red dots would be nice to have in uh
4767s	Arena Maps at least so you can uh run
4770s	towards the mobs and do
4773s	the lonar MC fluffin has ready us
4777s	welcome everybody from Lone Star mcf
4778s	fluffin Stream glad to have you with us
4781s	we're uh we got about 40 minutes left in
4783s	the
4784s	Stream and yeah
4791s	relax uh our Cycles going to be a set
4794s	duration of time or will each cycle vary
4796s	in how long they last
4798s	[Music]
4808s	um I I think that the the time of cycle
4811s	lasts will not be static from cycle to
4814s	cycle um initially we won't announce
4817s	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
4826s	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
4833s	basically and MC fluffin has
4835s	resubscribed for 33 months in a
4838s	row that's a lot we're getting real
4841s	close to that three-year 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
4871s	it was
4875s	good there was a fair critique of both
4877s	games in comparison to one
4882s	of
4886s	uh and H we got more stuff too we've
4890s	we've got M flin's gift and Subs out
4893s	to
4896s	uh ker
4898s	zo
4900s	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 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
4950s	oh don't
4952s	die uh regarding Merchant skills uh do
4955s	you foresee doing midcycle patches to
4957s	address lopsided economy for example
4959s	gold duping leading to out Rous prices
4961s	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
4987s	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
4999s	look like you've duped an item um and
5002s	you can even go sell it uh but the item
5006s	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
5011s	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
5020s	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
5027s	done this to your
5029s	UI um because it's just like that could
5032s	never happen
5044s	happen so L yeah luckily that's the
5046s	closest we've come to a dupe exploit so
5049s	far I'm 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 if
5058s	a dupe exploit or something like that
5060s	and like something needs to happen yeah
5063s	we we'll be on
5066s	it uh any chance that we might get a
5068s	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
5078s	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
5114s	fantastic we love them um as as soon as
5118s	we get a good way to get them 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
5131s	first across all of the servers to do
5133s	certain things like that
5138s	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
5155s	hopes up I've got mine up for post
5176s	one. everything everywhere all at
5181s	once
5196s	all
5201s	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
5233s	to improve some functionality for ones
5235s	that we had initially planned to be more
5237s	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
5264s	1.0 don't forget to tag me SOC questions
5267s	yeah don't forget to tag me CC questions
5269s	yeah uh will we get MTX portal
5271s	animations so 1.0 instead of green
5273s	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
5287s	seconds
5289s	ago we'll look we'll look at the end of
5291s	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
5303s	the that's a different portal actually
5305s	but we we'll check the other one when we
5306s	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	bizar 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
5416s	for it in 1.0 so there you
5421s	go
5423s	but yes the proper reworks not
5440s	forgotten uh hi hello how are you hope
5445s	hope you the team e doing well we are
5447s	with the shaman reworking 1.0 will there
5449s	still have ways to specialize in totems
5452s	the um I get for not looking at 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
5468s	planned uh the the Shan rework mostly is
5472s	is not a complete class rework uh I
5476s	would call it more of a shaman refresh
5478s	um one skill is getting completely
5480s	reworked one skill is getting rep
5482s	placed uh that's about it and then some
5505s	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
5531s	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	residence than you're that you need um
5537s	because you'll be playing together so
5538s	much that most of the items you're
5539s	finding are tradeable anyways um
5544s	and then there's a and 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
5574s	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 cosmetic 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 um
5611s	not specifically uh we we we definitely
5613s	talked about ways to um to get MTX items
5618s	without without um purchases like like
5620s	in-game achievements for MTX items that
5622s	sort of stuff so on the table um we
5624s	don't have any specifics planned for
5625s	right now um and we don't have any um
5630s	available at 1.0 yet
5636s	uh love this game a lot any changes to
5638s	model 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
5657s	before
5660s	um and then we're also working on but
5664s	haven't got it yet into um a a bit more
5667s	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 the in-game guy
5691s	getting updated yes in game guide is
5692s	getting
5696s	updated uh what's your favorite SL most
5698s	cool run
5704s	vacation
5710s	um
5712s	uh I force this that with these
5716s	skills this
5719s	one uh this is why we have to change
5722s	these
5728s	colors
5730s	nope oh what is
5734s	it oh of course that cast it ah I
5737s	favorite it's the the fire rain uh I
5740s	think is actually my favorite one to
5741s	play with
5744s	um but this one this is my favorite one
5747s	to look at it's just
5750s	great
5757s	uh what's the incentive for starting new
5760s	characters uh for each season um right
5764s	now it is a uh a chance for Fresh Start
5768s	A lot of people find that really really
5769s	interesting just on its own um fresh
5772s	economy so there's like no one is
5774s	starting with existing gear everyone's
5776s	everyone's the exact same footing um
5778s	this is probably U pretty interesting
5781s	for um for new players um especially who
5785s	who maybe haven't played a bunch of the
5787s	of the
5787s	[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	caused this 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
5845s	involved with the with the
5847s	um with the bizaar a little bit so just
5851s	just cuz that's I'm really not sure how
5853s	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
5859s	going to engage with it um that I'm
5862s	really interested in seeing firsthand so
5863s	I might Merchant skill just just out of
5865s	from a like academic
5868s	standpoint it of 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
5889s	automatically returning um as a as a
5892s	thing so like consistency is more
5894s	important than that I think
5898s	um unsure though
5906s	super excited about watch me too
5908s	question can you please include up to
5910s	three sounds that players can customize
5912s	for certain drops it's off screen so we
5914s	can 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
5921s	stream um this is something that gets
5924s	suggested fairly regularly um it is way
5927s	too late to add something anything to uh
5931s	to one point so as far as 1.0 is
5933s	concerned no um beyond that maybe please
5937s	put a suggestion on the appropriate
5939s	suggestion places uh forums uh Discord
5944s	do 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	the 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
6010s	something like that in a really cool way
6014s	um I don't I don't think it would fit
6018s	with our game very
6020s	well um
6022s	so we're not planning on doing it but um
6026s	I think I think there's ways to like
6028s	just just like outside of last e talking
6030s	about games in general I think there are
6032s	ways to do seasons pass style mechanics
6035s	and systems really well um I don't have
6038s	a good example of it I'm sure there are
6039s	good examples of it I don't um I don't
6042s	know when else to my have but like I
6044s	think most of the things that people
6046s	dislike about season past mechanics in
6048s	general
6050s	um you know are are 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
6075s	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
6082s	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
6089s	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
6094s	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
6100s	didn't buy the season's pass so I don't
6102s	get to do that challenge it's like
6103s	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
6118s	this new boss to go fight in the cycle
6121s	um you know and it it drops cool new
6123s	gear like that's that's the same thing
6125s	really but instead of it being uh 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
6177s	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
6203s	hello
6210s	hey LP quiet belt love it
6213s	[Music]
6217s	um more questions answered I feel like
6219s	this question squid 997 I think I
6221s	answered it
6222s	already
6223s	[Music]
6225s	um I'm taking a week off at
6228s	launch
6229s	uh your dedication is 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
6242s	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 something 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
6292s	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
6302s	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
6318s	to get a perfect situation for everyone
6320s	it
6322s	uh I think it's going to be a very very
6324s	good situation for the vast majority of
6326s	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
6345s	the feedback and reactions for a post uh
6348s	like what like a year and a half ago now
6350s	before this of what we were planning
6352s	doing before that reaction did not feel
6355s	good at
6359s	all uh this one this one's really nice
6361s	though uh did you plan enough sleep the
6363s	upcoming Sprints I mean I'm almost I'm
6366s	I'm into like little things here in
6368s	their 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
6386s	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
6407s	good uh do we just go for it
6413s	just accept Mark for death in this
6416s	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	heu staff is
6481s	[Laughter]
6483s	blasting uh
6485s	no oh get out of
6489s	there no there's going to be lots of bug
6492s	fixes right
6494s	away there's always there's always some
6496s	little things that that get
6499s	found
6502s	you go from hundreds of people testing
6503s	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 bad uh do you guys
6540s	work using agile 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 handband boards
6561s	all all that
6586s	jazz oh there's something there's
6588s	something in there that's blocking that
6589s	Dash from happening
6591s	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
6619s	got to react quick
6631s	quickly I'm going to die to it at some
6649s	point
6661s	oh no no
6668s	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
6685s	hard to beat crit avoidance is
6692s	nice what's our CR
6699s	like it's not Capp which is a
6703s	problem I think the 17 Al resz is is
6706s	more
6709s	important
6713s	I feel like pulling them out of that to
6714s	CR wind 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 I said check and I just didn't
6749s	earlier uh will we ever not be able to
6752s	move bosses around it feels wrong yes
6754s	February
6757s	21st all all
6765s	right let's go hit one of I guess we got
6769s	five minutes left there 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
6777s	bug where if you die you can't respawn
6780s	that happens numerous times to me and I
6781s	did report it as well if you report it
6783s	we're aware of it we've it's either on
6784s	the list to fix or it's been fixed or
6787s	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 you
6804s	won't be too much to see and do
6806s	but try we'll try and have some fun
6811s	stuff this you to see
6815s	that uh probably asked before but 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
6828s	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
6853s	like it's really hard I swear guys go
6856s	look up Grand Crusader wow title um
6862s	yes there is
6866s	um uh I I would say some loose loose
6869s	plans for title systems
6873s	um and uh I I can see think something
6876s	add it we don't have anything right
6889s	now
6896s	I'm caught
6897s	up it feels good feels weird what what
6900s	do I usually do with my hands is this
6902s	this
6916s	normal yeah so so we're just going to
6919s	we're
6921s	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
6940s	stream that is that what we're going to
6946s	do oh that was so
6949s	dumb
6952s	three minutes left spam some questions
6954s	go for
6979s	it
6983s	I just can't wait to be able to like be
6984s	able to actually say that we've released
6986s	a
6989s	game I think that's that's a big part of
6991s	it for me on just like a personal
6996s	level 10-year-old Mike's really excited
6999s	about
7008s	that
7024s	how does it feel to have made the best
7025s	airG

7030s	the confidence and the faith and the and
7032s	the the the praise there I I I um I love
7036s	being in the conversation
7038s	for uh best
7040s	RPG and
7043s	uh it feels fantastic to be in that
7055s	conversation and the and like on top of
7058s	that the people who are who are also in
7061s	like that

7128s	more no
7133s	yes there we
7134s	go out here there's the green portal it

7140s	portal that's the one thing I wanted to
7141s	check before the stream
7146s	ended all
7148s	right couple questions here at the very
7150s	end I'll this answer what what are the
7152s	plans on reworking set items I can't

7155s	going to be awesome uh will there be
7156s	video footage of
7158s	ehg uh at of ichi at go live moment

7172s	that sorry uh my only request bit of
7174s	optimization improvements some maps

7178s	priority list behind multiplayer
7180s	awesomeness um you guys talk with G
