287s	stream uh happy to be here excited to
289s	have some fun see what trouble we get
292s	into I'm just going to be I I've been
294s	this is my my my character I've been
296s	playing the whole time and you know I I
298s	really want to get my
301s	um know passives and everything
302s	completed so we're just we're just going
304s	back into the campaign a little bit nice
306s	relaxing relaxing time here get our
309s	passives and Idol slots fleshed out so
310s	we can do a little more efficient the
313s	uh and not fall our faces a little too
317s	bad um while we do that I'll be
320s	answering questions that You' got here
322s	uh got our lovely help for fits back
324s	again today and he'll be funneling
328s	questions from chat to me so I can
330s	answer them more efficiently um thank
333s	you very much Fitz glad to have you here
335s	um so if you have a question for me
337s	please put at last Epoch game in the
340s	question and it'll easier to find um as
345s	always stream for charity right above my
346s	head there's the tra oh you know what's
349s	been bothering me this little
353s	sliver every time I watch one of the
355s	Recaps this little sliver bothers me so
358s	much I don't really know how how it's
360s	possible that it's not all the way
361s	across cuz they're both
363s	straight
364s	um we're going to fix it right now I
367s	just noticed
369s	it TR logo
377s	unlock there we
379s	go we did it yay so
384s	good um
388s	yeah so uh without further Ado I'm just
391s	going to hop right into
394s	questions all right do you guys see
397s	people teleporting to end of time to get
398s	their specializations early a problem
400s	will you guys let it be a thing for the
401s	future um I think I I don't no no the
406s	short answer is no it's not a problem uh
408s	and yes we plan on allowing it to remain
411s	um personally
415s	I I'm very torn on it in general I think
419s	that
422s	uh in I am on the side of yes we should
425s	leave it but it is a difficult decision
428s	in my
431s	mind Spike thanks for the resub 15
434s	months going strong thank you very much
437s	glad to have you with
440s	us all right mustard or Mayo it depends
444s	it depends like are we are we making
447s	sushi Mayo are we are we making BRZ
449s	mustard you know like it's it's really
451s	uh
453s	like it it
457s	depends all right for the Sentinel
459s	Shield throw is there any plans to have
461s	a node item that lets the shield bounce
463s	off the player character it already
470s	does 99% sure it already
477s	does maybe we tried to and I couldn't
479s	get it to work abandoned it maybe that's
481s	what's
482s	happening I have a memory of trying to
484s	make that
490s	work but I I don't I don't know if we'll
493s	add it or not if it doesn't uh any
495s	thoughts on raising the corruption level
497s	expectation for classes from 300 to 600
500s	I think something may have got Lost in
501s	Translation there I think what I said
503s	was um a I build is Su I consider a
507s	build successful if you can do 300
508s	corruption um
511s	and and it's just a number really so
513s	like
517s	um it doesn't really matter what that
519s	number is I don't think that like
522s	there's
524s	there's it's it's kind of hard to
525s	explain I guess but um maybe it's not
529s	hard the like you've got the number that
532s	is the corruption and how difficult that
534s	number is is just uh some arbitrary
537s	setting we've
538s	created so like maybe you just want us
541s	to crank the difficulty of corruption up
544s	instead
546s	um that might be a better way to do it
549s	um but if you've got a suggestion you'd
551s	like to see something change hey
553s	Singularity PSA this makes you not be
556s	able to crit read the second line on
557s	this on this
560s	Idol
562s	um yeah you can submit to um suggestions
566s	if you to suggest
568s	something uh he happy Friday Mike did
570s	you guys play any April fools on each
572s	other uh not really there was there was
575s	one tiny little thing uh we we had a
579s	meeting and it was an announcement that
580s	was like a joke announcement and that
581s	was about it it was
585s	um a lot of the April Fool stuff this
587s	year got um sidelined due to um other
591s	things happening on April
595s	1st uh do you think there's a
597s	possibility for someone who's already
600s	finished the story to create a new
601s	character and Skip through the whole
602s	story to avoid doing it all over again
604s	especially in hardcore I've done the
605s	story so many times for each of my
606s	characters who died um we don't plan to
608s	do this at the
610s	moment um I I I was shaking my head kind
613s	of do this the whole time because like
614s	this question gets asked so often that
616s	there's a bajillion answers to it out
618s	there um there's longer form versions in
621s	our faq's
624s	everywhere um
629s	uh what was the decision to make behind
631s	losing 100% of the potential stability
633s	when you die in
635s	empowered behind losing 100% of the
638s	potential stability when you die in an
641s	empowered Echo when playing in groups
643s	the alternative being maybe a percent
645s	based penalties such as 30 stability
647s	loss per death uh can we expect B
650s	costume anytime again saw one question
653s	and On a related note uh can we oh these
655s	are different questions
658s	uh what what was the decision be making
662s	behind losing 100% of the potential
663s	stability when you die in owered EO um
665s	whenever you die
667s	in uh like the death penalties we try
670s	and do are always uh potential uh
673s	potential penalty losses so you never
675s	lose something that you already have
676s	acquired um but you lose things that you
679s	could have gotten had you succeeded
681s	properly um and that's basically as far
684s	as it
687s	goes uh can we the be CAU any time again
690s	uh maybe I could be talked into that
693s	again still behind me it's kind of
695s	mangled cuz it's been uh been tossed
697s	around shoved into drawers for the last
701s	year uh first season any news um like uh
705s	second cycle starting um it's it's going
708s	to be roughly 3 to four months after the
710s	first one
712s	um
714s	and uh it'll be focused around bosses
718s	and uh like the we we're adding like
720s	Pinnacle content to the
724s	game ah I knew it was more stuff I
731s	drop H the single Blocker in the center
734s	of the idle inventory is such a genius
736s	design Choice uh what did the design
738s	process for idle layout shapes look like
740s	um the thank you first of all cuz this
744s	did take a while the original version of
746s	this was a 4x4 Square that was just it
750s	was just 4x4 it was just there um and it
754s	was like that for quite a while actually
757s	um the big problem we were seeing is
760s	that
762s	um everyone's everyone's uh idle
765s	inventory all it looked like was just
766s	like four 1x4s or four 4X ones and that
769s	was it every single person's idle
771s	inventory looked that way um and we
773s	didn't really want
775s	to uh like crank the power of the one
778s	two and three
781s	size Idols up because we wanted the
783s	biggest ones to be the rarest and the
785s	most valuable and have the most power
787s	and all sort of stuff but
790s	um by doing that they just it meant that
792s	the the the three all all the smaller
795s	sizes oh also 2 x2s before 2 x two
797s	people would have um but the the the
799s	other smaller sizes all of the 2x one 1X
803s	two 2x3 1x3 1 by one all those would um
806s	basically just only be useful in
807s	leveling when you were still unlocking
809s	your I
810s	inventory and as soon as it was unlocked
813s	they were all completely
817s	pointless um I'll get us out of
820s	here so yeah it really was a how do we
824s	force people to use
826s	smaller Idols um but still have it feel
830s	like you're like optimizing the system
832s	and and still have a feel like creative
834s	and things like that um and and that's
837s	why we got the corner cutouts and the
839s	one in the middle this way you can
842s	have like you can you can still get some
844s	patterns in there like you can still do
845s	like four 2 by tws and um you know like
848s	fill it in with some other one like you
850s	still get some patterns and that like
851s	that but you you always get a
852s	combination of them and I think this uh
855s	for me anyways this hearkens all the way
856s	back to Diablo I in the the size and the
859s	shape of the inventory space that you
862s	had for the idols um was was very uh
867s	specifically you you'd have your all
869s	your 1x3s and your 1ex ones to like fill
871s	up that 1x4 size um vertical height and
876s	uh you know like large Idols were were
878s	basically useless but you still had the
880s	there was still a reason to have um
883s	Grand and small Idols there was a reason
885s	a reason to have different size of Idols
886s	now there's problems with that in this
888s	the shape of your inventory all sort of
889s	stuff and I don't think I can hear
891s	notifications from streamlabs right now
894s	because I just looked over and there's a
896s	bunch of stuff happening
900s	uh
901s	so why why is none of this
905s	playing this playing for any of you this
907s	cool stuff
911s	happening well uh as I catch up here
914s	thank you very much
917s	to uh
923s	resilient oh resilient Red Devil nice
926s	I'm like I just see the word Resident
927s	Evil in there I just can't unsee
929s	Resident Evil resilient Red Devil thank
931s	you very
932s	much glad to have you with us two months
934s	in row welcome and llama HB has res for
938s	25 months that's a lot that's a
941s	lot um Shield through doesn't bounce off
944s	the player but it will bounce off your
946s	minions such as ring of shields that's
947s	what I'm thinking of right you can set
949s	up the Ring of Shields and it bounces
950s	off
951s	them uh and Mayhem is coming thanks for
954s	the sub appreciate you glad to have you
956s	all with us
963s	all right more
971s	questions I don't know what's going on
972s	but like I've started routing the um the
977s	sound through my headphones that's going
979s	through the microphone itself like
980s	there's
983s	a the microphone and it's
986s	like if if that volume gets up to up
989s	above above 5% it will hurt my
993s	ears I don't know why it's so
1000s	loud that was me gingerly increasing it
1003s	by one up to
1005s	four um all right more questions is this
1008s	game going to be a PC exclusive or have
1010s	you got any plans to bring the game to
1012s	other platforms um we do plan to bring
1015s	the game to other platforms uh we don't
1016s	have an ETA on that or specifically what
1018s	platforms it will be
1020s	um there's some obvious uh choices I
1022s	mean like we do already have a Linux uh
1024s	Linux version which arguably is just PC
1026s	so potato po there um
1030s	we've uh what am I
1032s	saying uh yeah there's there's lots of
1034s	people are playing it on Steam deck
1036s	already technically we're not um
1037s	officially approved on Steam deck or
1039s	verified on Steam deck but people do use
1041s	it uh and apparently it works pretty
1043s	well
1045s	um we're like one of the top played
1047s	games on Steam deck in March which is
1049s	wild
1050s	uh considering we don't even have the
1051s	the little tick mark but that's cool um
1054s	so there's there's different platforms
1056s	uh and different barriers entry to
1058s	expand into them and you know like
1061s	player count um like requests we get for
1064s	it difficulty to do it all these things
1067s	uh will play a factor in US deciding
1069s	which ones we go to First and which ones
1070s	we delay a little bit and keep going to
1072s	after but yeah we we do plan to expand
1074s	eventually into other platforms it's
1075s	going to be a little while though so
1076s	like um I I wouldn't if if if you're if
1079s	you're like um I really want to play but
1082s	I I I am not sure if I want to wait for
1084s	a um a different version like like come
1087s	out on PlayStation or something like
1088s	that um it's it's going to be a while
1091s	it's going to be quite a while before
1092s	anything like that happens um so if
1096s	you're itching for it and you've got the
1097s	PC to run it my advice would we get it
1098s	on PC
1100s	but if not you just want a one day play
1103s	yeah one day
1112s	uh any thoughts on continuing character
1114s	progression past level 100 um so yes
1119s	there's this this has been kind of a
1120s	weird topic for us um we had originally
1123s	planned on having the um factions be
1127s	something that continued to level past
1129s	level 100 it's like something that you
1131s	like need to keep doing past level 100
1133s	um and uh so like in the in the beta of
1139s	uh in in the Clos beta for factions um
1143s	you reached rank eight around the time
1145s	you reached level 100 if you're were
1147s	just playing exclusively on that one um
1152s	and it did not have great feedback on it
1156s	um so we we dropped the required level
1160s	to access it to be about 100 I think um
1163s	so like 100 was Rank 10
1165s	roughly and um it was still a lot of
1168s	like it takes way to too long it takes
1169s	way too long um and so it's it's an
1173s	interesting thing at the same time idst
1175s	calls for um continue leveling past
1177s	level 100 likely so we we don't really
1180s	view level 100 as a expected milestone
1184s	for many characters it's something that
1186s	does happen every once in a while um but
1189s	the vast majority of characters will are
1191s	very unlikely to ever hit level
1195s	100 um and and and that's a bit of a a
1198s	break from tradition from some games
1200s	that are similar which is sometimes a
1202s	little tricky
1203s	to um like conceptually reconcile I
1207s	guess
1211s	um should just take this back shouldn't
1214s	it the wrong one I did the wrong one
1234s	um what was I talking about oh yeah so
1236s	we're we're still looking at ways to
1239s	have um alternate systems that don't
1242s	really care about experience uh
1244s	currently like your your your gear is
1246s	something that continues to improve
1248s	after 100 anyway so like there's still
1250s	character progression Post 100 we are
1252s	looking at extending the time to 100 uh
1254s	in the extremely late levels so like 98
1257s	99 100
1259s	um get getting those we touch longers
1262s	but I think is the plan um we're still
1265s	up in the air on that
1266s	one that was
1274s	close it's meant to be it's meant to be
1276s	like a
1277s	like holy crap you got to 100 wow
1281s	cool not like oh your character starts
1285s	at 100 like definitely not that
1290s	all right will our alts ever catch up
1292s	method will our alts ever get a catch-up
1295s	method to catch up to our main
1296s	corruption level um we we have a
1299s	mechanic to address the feedback on this
1302s	axis that we are preparing at the moment
1306s	I am attempting to say this as vague as
1308s	possible and I cannot provide any more
1309s	information at this time
1311s	sorry it's still in like early feedback
1315s	and
1316s	testing case things get wildly changed
1318s	between now impl in proper like release
1321s	I don't want to be like this is
1322s	happening and then it just changed
1326s	horribly oh some good
1328s	tea Happ to you little
1333s	honey like a little bearm near us we get
1336s	honey from there
1341s	sometimes it's one of those things as
1342s	well it's like i' be in the
1345s	dread um I guess because it's like all
1348s	they do it's actually kind of the same
1350s	price or cheaper than the grocery store
1352s	which is
1357s	nice all right love the game thank you
1360s	looking forward to seeing the future of
1362s	it my question can we please get an
1363s	option to turn up down companion sounds
1365s	we can turn the squirrels way down
1367s	please thanks yeah uh baby uh drop it in
1370s	the suggestions forums and threads and
1372s	places that we collect suggestions
1382s	all right thank you for your time you're
1385s	welcome and doing these streams any
1387s	plans on fleshing out the alt leveling
1389s	path the dungeon progression is very fun
1391s	but it feels unfinished yeah it is
1392s	unfinished there's
1395s	um uh like we we we a a we need more
1399s	dungeons um there's none coming in 1.1
1401s	but we do need more dungeons um both for
1404s	just having a more varied take on uh
1408s	leveling path where you can say like
1410s	there's like a dozen viable
1412s	options and uh depending on like what
1415s	type of character you're running uh
1417s	different ones are easier to
1418s	do I'd also still really like to address
1421s	the um the way you access and difficulty
1424s	of the first tier of
1427s	dungeons um but yeah there's
1430s	there's it is something we're still
1432s	looking at uh the the
1434s	core Vibe of alt leveling paths is not
1438s	planned to have have major
1442s	changes possibly an option to copy
1444s	online characters offline we have no
1446s	plans of doing
1449s	this not I I understand the the the
1452s	request we have no plans of doing this
1453s	right now um and just to clear up it is
1455s	not as simple as just we'll just save it
1458s	uh they use different file
1463s	formats and they save different data too
1473s	it is possible but
1475s	it's uh it it's a design reason which
1477s	we're not doing not strictly just that
1479s	can't be doing my back is so itchy right
1483s	now there a
1488s	tag all right when will key bindings be
1491s	fully working I want to buy y button the
1494s	veral skill but permanently mapped to
1496s	minion control there's some things that
1497s	we've locked
1499s	um I don't know if we have a plan to
1501s	unlock them just yet but there's a few
1503s	things that we're like this has to kind
1505s	of be
1508s	there or there's some
1510s	more C certain commands work differently
1512s	in the game and uh unfortunately ends up
1516s	in situations where some keys are not
1519s	REM ideally all of them would
1525s	be right now totems are enable
1529s	totems are enable to acknowledge enemies
1532s	that spawned
1533s	after the totem was
1536s	spawned uh it's really not fun uh
1539s	wondering if totem is going to do its
1542s	thing every time a new wave of enemy
1544s	shows
1546s	up is it a deliberate game choice or can
1548s	we expect the change it's a
1552s	bug if you think something might be a
1554s	bug just report it as a bug
1557s	please uh right what is your least
1559s	favorite thing about last e we don't
1560s	have weapon
1562s	swap just going to keep saying that
1564s	every
1565s	time I know it's never going to happen
1568s	but I want
1569s	it um is there some plans for improving
1573s	throwing builds like flat throwing
1576s	damage with Shield throw Javelin uh Etc
1579s	not proximite um I I I don't have any
1583s	details on potential upcoming balance
1586s	changes uh level one Echo scale scaling
1589s	to bypass the campaign ever been
1590s	discussed level one Echo scaling to
1592s	bypass C I mean
1595s	it's oh oh like like an adventure mode
1598s	in in the monolith it's been discussed
1600s	hundreds of times and it's been rejected
1602s	hundreds of
1608s	times all right any plans on making loot
1611s	filters show icons for what's filtered
1614s	and not just uniques and also any
1616s	consideration on making obsidian
1618s	residences EAS easier to obtain
1621s	um uh no and
1626s	no I'm just going to keep saying if you
1628s	have suggestions you'd like to see
1629s	consider please put them in the
1630s	suggestions channels I don't write
1632s	anything down from
1637s	stream all
1642s	right building off of throwing question
1645s	can you say if there's any pure throwing
1646s	Mastery considered for rogue feels like
1649s	it's asking for an ninjja sty Mastery I
1650s	mean the the if if the falconer is is
1654s	like definitely the throwing Centric
1656s	Mastery on on
1659s	Rogue I feel like if we made a new pure
1663s	throwing Mastery on Rogue it would step
1665s	on falconer's uh heals quite a
1674s	lot not not
1677s	really um
1681s	I mean you know insert generic line
1685s	about telling you to go put suggestions
1686s	the suggestions
1689s	channel should just make like a little
1691s	Banner at the top of the
1697s	screen all right hey Mike you should
1699s	stream more thanks uh I like working on
1703s	the game and uh streaming takes me away
1707s	from that so I'm going to keep just
1708s	doing limited
1711s	streams also did you try the new PE
1713s	League yes I am playing the new PE
1714s	League I'm playing it hyper hyper casual
1718s	uh I haven't played a Poe league in uh
1721s	at least a year uh like properly played
1723s	in at least two years now um I'm going
1726s	in completely
1727s	blind uh and like like so I'm like
1733s	reading lore slow okay like we are
1737s	creeping along um but yeah I'm enjoying
1739s	it it's
1744s	fun all right hi I don't know if this is
1747s	addressed before but here goes uh do you
1751s	have plans to add some more in-game
1753s	content with leaderboards yes we do um
1756s	next patch will be primarily focused
1758s	around uh Pinnacle bosses um the
1761s	leaderboard section of that is um still
1765s	up in the air we are uh we we we want to
1768s	add more leader boards we don't have any
1769s	specific details on what those leader
1771s	boards will be yet um or where they will
1773s	show
1775s	up but there's a good chance at some
1777s	point we do add more
1779s	leaderboards likely focused somewhere
1781s	around like corruption scaling or like
1784s	um like time to kill bosses things like
1787s	that you know like like
1789s	but um so it's still still up in the air
1793s	bit but yeah we do plan on adding
1796s	those uh do you know if or when we can
1799s	expect more controller support and
1801s	options um we're always making minor
1804s	changes to controllers uh and updating
1807s	those and improving them so next
1810s	patch I don't know what's coming with it
1812s	but I every patch has some controller
1814s	stuff added to
1819s	it uh so me traversal AIX is bugged
1823s	again okay uh make a bug report please
1829s	uh should we expect fourth masteries or
1831s	rather new classes first fourth
1833s	masteries would be before new classes
1834s	because fourth masteries we can um we
1837s	can do individual ones
1840s	um like we we could do we could do one
1842s	Mastery we we like say we could we could
1844s	add a fourth Mage Mastery um and then we
1847s	would have like four 33 three three and
1849s	and that would be fine
1851s	um so we we can add in another Master at
1855s	the same time is doing other stuff a lot
1856s	easier um but if we add in a whole new
1859s	base glass and three masteries with it
1861s	um that's a gigantic
1864s	undertaking um time wise
1868s	and uh not exactly a
1872s	uh uh conducive to adding other stuff at
1874s	the same
1880s	time I the heart of the Citadel is
1883s	beyond I'm glad we can't I'm too when he
1886s	fled I saw him deeper into the
1889s	mountains deeper into the
1894s	mountains uh thoughts about potentially
1896s	having XP events in the future for
1898s	example x% increased or
1900s	weakened for a weekend or something
1905s	um I'm not huge on doing things like
1907s	that
1910s	um I don't know it's it's
1913s	possible I don't think we've I I don't
1915s	think we've talked about or anything
1916s	like
1917s	that person I'm not a huge fan of it
1919s	it's I I'd be torn on it in
1924s	general the system is going to kick me
1926s	as I was waiting I just noticed
1930s	that
1947s	though plans to show Cosmetics on the
1949s	character selection screen yeah
1952s	um it did for a while actually and I
1954s	don't know why it
1957s	doesn't but I hope it comes
1962s	back how come the crafting elcome in the
1964s	crafting panel doesn't show the stat
1966s	change only the forge potential used
1967s	yeah that's there's there's
1969s	um there was a bug that came in when uh
1972s	there was there was a UI update that
1973s	happened on the forun panel um and
1977s	there's a bug now that makes it not show
1979s	that anymore because it used to show
1981s	that why you're asking because know it
1983s	used to show that um I don't know uh
1986s	when that's going to be coming back but
1988s	it is hopefully coming back because it
1990s	is
2000s	important uh are you guys thinking of
2002s	telling us the story of Weaver's will
2004s	and how the item got for items got
2007s	forged yes
2012s	big foreshadowing
2016s	oo uh is it realistic to think that the
2018s	future Pinnacle content uh will involve
2021s	Titans Titans
2024s	T
2028s	um where that came
2030s	from uh yeah this spring light this
2032s	Arbor always says they're dead but we
2035s	travel in time don't we yeah we do
2040s	um I
2041s	am the worst person to talk to about any
2045s	sort of Story related stuff at all uh
2048s	which is why I have asked Kyle to come
2050s	back on for another lore stream coming
2052s	up but uh I I I don't have details
2057s	on that that I can
2060s	share um
2064s	but I know we like to plant this is this
2067s	is me just speculating cuz I know we
2068s	like these we like to plant I know that
2070s	they like to plant seeds uh for things
2073s	to
2078s	come so I'd be shocked if that spron
2080s	dialogue was not
2084s	intentional this is this is play mik
2091s	speculating uh will Merchant skill get
2093s	more search options yes um there's a
2096s	couple things we're trying to get in
2098s	right away uh there's a couple things
2100s	that we can't get in right away because
2101s	we need some architecture changes to
2102s	make them work um but we are working on
2105s	those as
2107s	well uh in the future do you guys put
2110s	more void type class Masters possible
2113s	um I it is a very clear Gap in the
2119s	design space for classes that are
2122s	available right
2125s	now let me in
2138s	here's a cool one if you never seen it
2139s	before the um numbers on this
2150s	item what it's not working that's
2153s	frustrating okay well the numbers of
2155s	this item follow a very uh intentional
2160s	pattern um the first three digits are
2163s	cut out
2166s	but uh 358 13 21 34 55 89 and 144 in the
2171s	gold
2175s	cost how petals are arranged in
2180s	flow all right hey Mike have you
2182s	considered deleting for Char we will
2184s	stop asking about
2186s	it this doesn't count for Bingo
2192s	Aaron uh yes it does
2198s	count um and uh no we
2203s	haven't uh how often can we expect to
2206s	see new gear added like new uniques we
2208s	add new uniques every major patch um so
2211s	you'll you'll see some more coming every
2213s	major
2215s	patch trying to get up to this
2218s	at least one point
2229s	there drop some
2240s	the just look see this are any
2245s	good that Idol is having an identity
2247s	crisis
2252s	all right any chance of making the
2255s	monsters a little less spammy with their
2257s	skills there's barely any time to deal
2259s	damage while consistently dodging or
2261s	face tanking
2265s	um
2268s	no it's it's one of those things like
2270s	they're like they're they monsters that
2272s	are trying to kill you right like
2274s	they're they're going to do what they
2275s	can to get you um you're doing what you
2277s	can to get them they're going to do what
2278s	they can to get you
2284s	um I think if they were like
2287s	significantly less using their skills it
2290s	would I think it
2291s	would
2293s	uh probably remove some of the uh sense
2296s	of
2298s	urgency which I think is important
2309s	is uh is dynamic DPS boss Health scaling
2312s	real so mentioned on stream was curious
2315s	how it works or if it's real saw this in
2317s	a review
2320s	well is it in here am I going to look
2322s	like an idiot if I bring this up
2329s	probably oh please tell me it's in here
2344s	it's not even in here oh that's
2346s	frustrating should be in there um it is
2349s	real um there's there's dozens of
2352s	official sources that talk about it it's
2355s	uh hopefully not a matter of
2358s	speculation
2360s	um is it is definitely
2362s	real
2364s	um if you want to
2368s	uh learn more about it in order to be
2371s	more efficient in your boss kills I can
2374s	tell you everything you need to know
2376s	right now about how to kill a boss as
2378s	fast as possible kill the boss as fast
2381s	as possible that's it there is literally
2384s	no way to modify your behavior to gain
2387s	an advantage in the system um the faster
2392s	you kill the boss the faster you kill
2393s	the boss period
2401s	um as for I was foring to break
2406s	that
2408s	um having said having said all that the
2411s	system is quite frustrating to a lot of
2412s	people and is not achieving the goals we
2414s	wanted to achieve properly and we are
2416s	removing it well should REM we're
2417s	replacing it um with another system that
2420s	will hopefully achieve those goals
2422s	better um
2433s	one that actually will have some
2434s	counterplay to
2440s	it and and one that will be blatantly
2444s	obvious what's
2455s	happening trying to sneak around behind
2458s	me not
2464s	today how far are we on these to
2475s	be will we get to fight the Weaver
2480s	maybe um not next patch
2489s	uh will the new Pinnacle bosses have
2491s	phases or can it be one shot
2498s	um
2499s	uh I don't know if those are mutually
2503s	exclusive like lagon has phases and can
2505s	be one shot
2510s	um uh the like the the tippy top
2514s	Pinnacle boss will have
2516s	phases but
2519s	like I'm not going to tell you anything
2521s	else it's going to be a sweet fight
2523s	where I was working on this morning um
2527s	making some new tech for
2530s	it some counter playay action in
2535s	there outplay opportunities that it's
2544s	called I was really a big fan of um
2548s	and this is this is
2550s	just not directly related to what I was
2552s	saying so not a clue or anything but I'm
2555s	reminded of when I when I just said
2557s	outplay opportunities um I really
2560s	enjoyed playing uh Guild Wars 1 as a
2563s	Mesmer because it had so many counter
2565s	spells and
2566s	interrupts um and that like that always
2570s	felt really good when you like when when
2571s	you hit cuz you you had to you had to
2573s	wait for the cast to start and you had
2574s	to like time it
2576s	properly and it was felt really good
2578s	when you actually nailed
2582s	it get back here oh my
2594s	God God damn it
2600s	stop least went near the exit
2612s	uh any plans to add unique runes affixes
2615s	and suffix shards runes that are a part
2617s	say uh Pinnacle content
2622s	um uh
2626s	no
2628s	maybe I don't think
2633s	so like we we do plan to add more of
2635s	those things but um
2639s	I don't think I don't
2642s	know I don't think there's any of
2643s	related to The Pinnacle content
2650s	coming I don't think
2653s	so got other cool stuff don't
2656s	worry uh this is a time traveling story
2659s	it is it's pretty cool right uh is there
2662s	anything in the time traving mechanic
2664s	that would prohibit fighting your own
2666s	future past cells probably pass so that
2668s	we can get the loot drops of what we're
2672s	wearing um we we don't have any not not
2676s	directly no
2679s	um uh we we we kind of try to evoke that
2683s	style of
2685s	feeling um like you never cross your own
2689s	path but you cross other people's paths
2690s	that have um that were players
2693s	effectively so like for example the
2695s	Forgotten Knight um was a player
2697s	character um the the the excelled Mages
2701s	were basically like player characters um
2704s	the uh the the enemies at the end of The
2708s	Limited Arena runs um were like kind of
2711s	supposed to feel like player characters
2713s	that like type thing um so yeah there's
2716s	we we we try and bring that feeling in
2719s	um actually fighting your own player
2722s	character at
2723s	like an earlier time or a later time uh
2729s	gets messy to say the least uh so I
2732s	don't I don't think we any plans for
2734s	that it would be kind of cool I I don't
2737s	know how you'd
2738s	like like generate the gear like you
2741s	always get the same gear or like getting
2743s	your future gear like how would you know
2744s	what you're going to be wearing in the
2746s	future
2749s	um you know like how does that affect
2751s	like the timeline of your character and
2754s	all these things I
2756s	so we do try we we try and bring that
2758s	feeling in without um getting
2768s	tooy at this point after release are you
2771s	realizing that you have similar issues
2774s	to competitor Dev
2777s	teams uh or do you feel like 11th Hour
2780s	solved you set up to solve you do it all
2783s	better uh I I we we definitely didn't
2786s	solve everything we set up to solve and
2787s	we definitely don't do everything better
2789s	that's I I think there's certain things
2791s	that like um if you're going to look at
2793s	like the other APS in the market I think
2795s	there's certain things that each of us
2796s	have as strength which I think is really
2798s	good
2803s	um uh the
2814s	you you die please
2819s	um now's our
2823s	chance I think that there
2826s	are uh there's a there's a couple things
2828s	that we solve really nicely that I'm
2829s	really happy with um or that we're in
2831s	the process of solving I think it should
2833s	be better way of putting it
2839s	um oh God where am
2842s	I I I I say that like I'm immediately
2844s	like Sal Sol's kind of like a dirty word
2846s	almost like this cuz
2850s	like easy too easy it kind of implies
2854s	that the development process finishes
2857s	like like it's like closing a door like
2859s	it's solved um and I I don't like that
2864s	idea um so maybe maybe improved would be
2867s	a better word to put
2872s	there and I hope I hope
2875s	someday uh someone comes along
2878s	and and looks at eoch and goes we can
2880s	improve that and they make something
2882s	even
2889s	better let's give a 10 years come one
2891s	right
2907s	all right will we ever be able to add
2909s	sounds to loot filter maybe we we've
2912s	talked about this many many many many
2914s	many many
2915s	many many many times um we we don't have
2919s	a good clean way to do it right
2924s	now uh any plans introduce a way to
2926s	restore forging potential
2929s	no uh I know this game just released but
2932s	is the possibility of expansions far in
2934s	the future or will it just be based on
2936s	Cycles um the primary plan we have right
2938s	now is to keep it cycle based um
2940s	specifically because we we really don't
2942s	want to be in a situation where
2944s	um like expansion like okay so uh you
2947s	like you and your buddies maybe maybe a
2949s	couple of them have like stopped playing
2951s	and they've gone on to other things and
2952s	this new expansion comes out and a
2954s	couple of you buy the expansion um and
2957s	you're like oh come the expansion is so
2958s	good hop back in and they're like I
2959s	don't know if I want to buy the
2960s	expansion to come back and play or not
2962s	but they come back and like I'll try out
2963s	see what's going on and then they're
2964s	like oh you don't have the expansion you
2966s	can't complet do the thing we want to do
2967s	can't play with us and it like splits
2968s	the community and it's just frustrating
2972s	um so I don't no plans for that right
2977s	now you want to get this up to
2991s	five but I mean like it it depends like
2994s	if if an expansion makes a ton of sense
2997s	um to do at some point it's not
3000s	impossible but we don't plan plans for
3002s	it something something pretty dramatic
3005s	would have to
3008s	change we just don't like fixing things
3012s	like that too
3015s	firmly uh will 1.1 bring new supporter
3017s	packs I don't think so I don't think so
3020s	uh any plans to include full armor sets
3022s	in those uh will our pets ever gain any
3025s	form of ability or will they remain
3026s	strictly cosmetic um we have no
3030s	intention of ever adding um mechanics to
3033s	pets to Mini Pets um in the event that
3036s	we ever did add mechanics to the Mini
3038s	Pets um we would uh everyone would get a
3043s	free pet that have the same
3045s	mechanics just just in case we we would
3048s	release some new Pat that like every
3050s	single account just got for free just
3052s	just to make sure everyone had a
3054s	pet and there would be no way this is
3056s	this really important thing that every
3058s	time this question gets brought up I
3059s	have to make sure it's clear we're not
3061s	going to add pay for convenience factors
3064s	into the game where say like
3065s	hypothetically pets can pick up gold um
3068s	but you can only have a pet if you pay
3069s	five bucks or more no we're not doing
3084s	that any plans to add exiles other
3087s	classes other than Mages the way the sto
3089s	so um yes and no the way the story of
3093s	how the Exile Mages are where they are
3095s	and why they are where they are and all
3097s	that sort of stuff only works for Mages
3098s	it doesn't work for any other class um
3101s	so we're not going to add Exile Rogues
3103s	in a prison in a rune prison the same
3105s	way like like we're not doing that um is
3108s	there any chance we come up with a
3110s	different mechanic and reason and way to
3114s	have other enemies spawn randomly like
3116s	that yeah sure
3118s	um will they maybe possibly be other
3120s	classes yeah sure maybe
3125s	um yeah
3128s	the we we still plan to add more I guess
3130s	like the correct of the question is uh
3132s	we do still plan to add more unexpected
3135s	content to the game in the similar vein
3137s	to Exile Mages like treasure goblins
3140s	things like that um to the game but we
3142s	don't have any um we're not just taking
3146s	the Exel Mages and slapping uh a fresh
3148s	Co of paint on them with Rogues or
3151s	whatever pushing them back out the door
3157s	again all right any plan on improving
3160s	the brain of The Wraith Lord so it's not
3162s	just randomly flying around um I I think
3165s	I think someone reported a bug recently
3167s	on this um if you think you found a bug
3169s	please report the
3171s	bug uh has there been any new thoughts
3173s	on adapted boss events I talked a ton
3175s	about this a minute ago
3177s	um uh the the the uh recap I guess is um
3183s	the system is being replaced with a
3185s	similar system um or a system that that
3188s	uh aims to achieve the same thing in a
3191s	different way
3198s	uh but days of the hidden boss Dr and
3201s	damage numbers shrinking arbitrarily
3205s	seemingly um are are going to be going
3216s	away all right when are we finding the
3219s	immortal emperor in when are we finding
3221s	the immortal emperor in the Divine era
3223s	uh I have no information on upcoming uh
3226s	story stuff like
3229s	that most I just don't
3232s	know uh will we be able to befriend Jula
3235s	in the temporal Sanctum
3239s	that' be cool I always feel bad slaying
3242s	her when she's just being being chilling
3244s	in her
3245s	bedroom yeah that that'll be that'll be
3250s	funny I think she's a
3253s	little
3254s	uh uh he's a little
3257s	angry uh I don't I don't know if there's
3260s	uh from Charisma modifier high enough to
3263s	uh initiate that will this place
3269s	uh from a certain stage in the game we
3270s	Dro really many T6 have you considered
3273s	replacing the quantity by quality uh
3277s	like more t7 or T6 with more forging
3280s	potential I mean they they
3282s	already
3285s	um
3289s	ret they already get more for potential
3291s	than uh non uh exalted
3295s	items um like the quality is already
3297s	there I don't I don't think we plans to
3299s	increase the quality
3304s	anymore does this activate from anywhere
3306s	now it I'm pretty sure it
3309s	does
3310s	don't will will reveal the path too's
3318s	Temple it's okay I can just I read
3320s	really quick
3322s	yes oh my God my notifications are fully
3325s	just like off oh
3334s	no cuz you guys aren't here in the
3336s	middle are you let me try let me TR
3337s	replay somebody
3339s	these did that come through and I just
3341s	like didn't hear it
3359s	here's another
3362s	one thank you very much to both of you
3365s	uh everil 91 10 months in a row beep
3369s	beep
3372s	and swerve on your ends SW swerve on
3377s	your ends I feel like there's probably
3380s	some capitalization that it makes it
3381s	easier but thank you very much for the
3382s	sub appreciate having you here
3394s	I don't know how this aren't coming
3408s	through more
3411s	questions L are not working I'm not
3413s	losing my mind
3415s	woohoo wait no I like losing my mind oh
3419s	no uh in the future we have new elements
3423s	uh for spell example Shadow strike fire
3427s	thanks
3429s	um we
3433s	we we don't have
3436s	EV we limit the elements in which an
3439s	ability can be converted into very
3442s	carefully and very
3443s	intentionally um we don't like have we
3446s	don't like the aidea of just having hey
3448s	every ability is convertible to every
3450s	other element type thing um however we
3454s	do know that element conversions are a
3456s	really great way to expand the reach of
3458s	Any Given ability and um open up some
3462s	new
3463s	options so it is the sort of thing that
3465s	we do look for down the road um it's
3468s	it's also a bit of a um development a
3472s	Dev time intensive type of node to add
3475s	as well like they're they're if if we're
3477s	going to like put the the development
3478s	time as a cost in uh in in making
3481s	something it's
3483s	um that they are often some of the more
3485s	expensive
3501s	notes Here We Go um on top of that there
3505s	so we have as I I go over this many
3508s	times um frequently on stream there's
3511s	every class has primary elements and
3513s	secondary elements and um uh Niche
3517s	elements call them and uh
3520s	we generally don't put conversions that
3524s	are in primary secondary uh we usually
3526s	reserve them for items um fire is a
3529s	primary element for Spell blade
3533s	um Shadow strike not being convertible
3535s	to fire
3537s	um catching the thread here I'm coming
3538s	back around uh you already have
3541s	two um fire melee abilities in flame
3545s	reaven Firebrand and um having a third
3549s	is it's a lot of fire melee abilities
3553s	um so in order to kind of keep
3557s	those having their own unique place in
3559s	the
3560s	world uh I I think is is why we probably
3563s	haven't put fire Shadow strike in the
3565s	game yet
3567s	um that's not to say it won't ever be
3568s	play the
3570s	game uh have you played or watched the
3573s	current PTR for G2 D4 PTR for season 4
3576s	if so thoughts I haven't watched
3578s	anything about that yet um I
3584s	find
3589s	um I I I I wanted to I wanted to let the
3593s	dust settle a little bit um after the
3595s	after the PTR was finished and they had
3597s	a chance toact on the feedback um and
3599s	see what was actually coming to the game
3602s	uh I want I wanted to see that
3604s	before uh I I really dove in too deep I
3607s	I've like I've looked at some of the the
3608s	the like I I know that the major things
3611s	that are changing and theit the the
3613s	broad picture feature changes and stuff
3615s	like that um but I haven't like read
3618s	through all the patch notes individually
3620s	myself
3621s	yet I going save that for the actual
3623s	patch
3632s	those are textur something's wrong
3636s	there weird uh our experimental AIX is
3640s	going to rotate uh like some stay as
3642s	regular some go to new ones appear uh
3644s	maybe on different slots uh I
3649s	I I I don't think there's any plans that
3651s	I think would be
3654s	unlikely what are we doing here
3665s	here
3668s	what I go the wrong
3681s	way it's okay
3688s	shall explore back this
3691s	way uh can we expect items or reworks
3693s	for improving weaker Masters builds like
3695s	Forge guard Shield throw comes to
3697s	mind there there you go Aon that's a
3700s	that's a confirm
3702s	confirmation
3703s	um the uh we we
3707s	do uh we we do like to look at
3711s	underperforming uh and overperforming
3714s	items and skills and all sorts of things
3716s	frequently um I don't have any specific
3719s	details on individual potential upcoming
3721s	balance changes for next
3724s	patch uh will there be improvements and
3727s	additions to loot field system yes
3731s	um there's a few things is that spawned
3734s	outside of the reachable
3736s	area
3743s	no give me my ice beetle
3756s	it's okay Beetle welcome
3759s	back let you go thank
3767s	you um my best bu it's all I
3772s	got uh any plans to lessen the
3775s	randomness of of legendary items so we
3777s	can control what gets added um we don't
3780s	have any plans for that right now um I
3783s	it's not impossible but
3788s	um it it changes the
3792s	like chance of
3794s	getting uh X legendary
3798s	item quite a
3800s	bit um
3807s	I I I I don't know it's it's possible I
3810s	haven't seen anything I haven't seen any
3812s	internal suggestions or discussions on
3816s	it you have a suggestion go to the
3819s	suggestions forums drop one there
3824s	please uh will we have voice packs in
3826s	the future I'd love to see a queen Hive
3829s	voice uh for the Swarm blade form like
3831s	zerges carrian that would be really cool
3834s	um I think that would something we would
3836s	just add not really it be a pack to buy
3839s	but um I I don't know if anyone's
3841s	working on that right now I really hope
3842s	so it' be
3857s	sweet we're going to go back into the
3859s	monolith here pretty quick just wanted
3860s	to get these done so close my idle
3864s	slots the hunt
3873s	uh when do you expect to have steam
3874s	achievements for the game uh it's going
3875s	to be a
3883s	while uh any plans to tweak RNG involved
3886s	with
3887s	crafting no I feel it's way too easy to
3890s	Brick items especially for casual
3892s	players like myself um
3896s	I think
3900s	the I think
3904s	the ability to readily see so many
3910s	amazingly lucky crafted items and not
3914s	see all of the brick items that went
3916s	into making those amazing items
3919s	um can help to set unreasonable
3921s	expectations on how easy or difficult it
3925s	is in your mind
3931s	um to to be frank I think the crafting
3934s	system is incredibly
3935s	forgiving
3938s	um
3940s	and yeah I I like we're we're not we
3943s	have no plans to make it harder but um I
3946s	I think it's incredibly
3952s	forgiving
3954s	um yeah
3966s	I Was
3967s	preparing uh potions for that fight
3970s	because usually takes a long time
3986s	the the RNG also I should mention this
3988s	with crafting RNG it is actually more on
3990s	your side than it appears um this is
3994s	something we've talked about lot before
3995s	but the um when it says like you'll lose
3999s	like this this this Forge is going to
4000s	take between 1 and 15 forun potential to
4002s	do this thing
4007s	um the way it works is there's like
4009s	there's a small chance for you to get a
4011s	a Lucky Craft and if you get a Lucky
4014s	Craft it then re rolls the range from
4017s	your first roll as the new maximum so if
4019s	you so so you roll 115 and you roll a
4022s	six it's like it's going to it's going
4024s	to eat six 4G potential and he like it's
4027s	medium it's fine whatever but then you
4028s	get lucky and you roll a Lucky Craft it
4030s	then rerolls a again with a range 1 to
4033s	six um so the the
4037s	average amount you're going to pay for
4040s	for potential for an item is is actually
4043s	less than the average of the range that
4044s	you see listed
4049s	so there there is there is that tiny
4052s	little extra RNG for you right
4060s	there all right is the plans to allow us
4063s	to move tabs in the quick view window
4065s	while in stash not specifically but we
4066s	did just make some changes that might
4068s	make that possible something that I
4069s	really wanted to do for a long time um
4079s	uh how do you feel about Dort getting
4081s	inspired by Le like with exalted affixes
4084s	I I think it's a good thing to be able
4086s	to positively influence other games in
4087s	the in in the general in the genre um
4092s	I um so if if if they that that did come
4097s	from us um I think it's really cool I
4100s	think that's that's um I'd be really
4102s	proud to have had an influence like that
4104s	on Diablo 4 if if if that's the case um
4109s	I'm still not convinced it was I I don't
4115s	know it's it's
4118s	possible
4123s	um e either way it's pretty cool too
4126s	easy whether it's coincidence or an
4128s	influence I think it's pretty neat
4133s	um we can just warp out of here I don't
4135s	know why I'm still fighting
4144s	things
4150s	yes one
4153s	more
4155s	not come on let me Dash in
4159s	town yes
4168s	oh
4170s	yeah that's what I'm talking
4174s	about um I don't know where he I assume
4176s	he got it from me after I just said it
4177s	like that my son said the other day he
4179s	was like that's what I'm talking about
4182s	like yeah good
4183s	job who was
4186s	adorable not
4188s	happening
4190s	okay we're going back to monels we don't
4193s	really care what else
4194s	happens uh
4201s	um do
4206s	we we try for one of the ' 90s yeah
4209s	let's try for one of the 90s what's the
4210s	worst that could happen
4214s	right will you improve multiplayer
4217s	experience yes as of now it's a bit well
4221s	awful sort to say love the game though
4223s	um yep we are constantly working on it
4227s	um
4229s	there's uh I don't know how much i' love
4232s	to talk about this stuff we're working
4233s	on specifically but we're definitely
4235s	working on big changes for that uh I
4238s	will have some effect on overall
4241s	multiplayer performance it's hard to
4242s	tell the um the like the test servers
4246s	because there's so less uh so so less of
4252s	a load on them um
4257s	they
4258s	uh they're naturally just a little bit
4260s	faster but our most recent test
4263s	was really
4266s	promising hey not bad
4272s	um so I'm hoping most of that test was
4276s	um the changes made and not just the
4279s	difference between live and staging
4293s	this is much more
4295s	challenging but still very much in our
4303s	wheelhouse I pick how enemies get Marked
4305s	for Death
4309s	Echo is mic a big dum
4313s	dum answers through this and more after
4315s	this
4321s	commercial a player has been ambushed
4325s	who Okay more stuff more questions what
4327s	skills would you entire which skills
4329s	would you love to entirely rework no
4331s	budget
4331s	con ooh
4346s	I would like to and it's okay I'm I'm
4350s	going to cheat in the question because I
4351s	don't want to rework the I don't want to
4352s	rework the the skill the no budget
4354s	constraints means I'd like to implement
4356s	the skill the way it is written and
4360s	everyone assumes it is before they
4362s	realize it's not sadly um I I would I
4365s	would want
4366s	to uh to change manifest armor and Forge
4369s	weapons and all of the uh the the the
4373s	forge guard abilities that manif EST
4376s	copies of your gear to actually manifest
4379s	copies of your gear that had the actual
4381s	abilities of your gear
4387s	um oh sorry about that came out of
4390s	nowhere
4392s	um was right in the mic I'm so
4394s	sorry um yeah I'd like I'd like to have
4398s	that done that's and it wouldn't need to
4400s	change the the the trees that much at
4401s	all like the trees actually are pretty
4403s	decent um
4405s	I just want to make uniques work with
4409s	them but that's just such a humongous
4412s	undertaking I don't I don't even know
4414s	where to start with
4416s	that what is your main role in the dev
4418s	team what do you mostly work on well big
4421s	skill problems like that I just was
4424s	describing
4427s	um yeah right right now I'm mostly skill
4429s	bugs uh I I I I'm part of the design
4433s	team as well um
4436s	I've done a lot of UI development in the
4438s	past I'm trying to hand that off more
4439s	and
4440s	more why this job posting up right now
4442s	for senior UI developer I
4444s	think take half of my responsibilities
4447s	away from me
4455s	yes more so just have a dedicated person
4458s	on it that
4459s	uh someone
4462s	goes didn't even know how to fix this UI
4464s	problem or who do we talk to about this
4465s	UI thing it's not like well there's
4468s	these four people that have worked on UI
4470s	and this one worked on this part of the
4471s	UI and this one worked on that part it's
4472s	just here's the person who runs the
4482s	UI from a Dev perspective not a design
4486s	perspective we got that and
4487s	spades up
4490s	Russ uh what is the most interesting
4493s	ability that was floated for a game that
4495s	didn't make it to live uh can you talk a
4498s	little bit about why it was interesting
4500s	and why it didn't go
4502s	live
4505s	oh I don't have any good examples off
4507s	the top of my head at
4509s	all
4521s	um some of the Rune Master pitches were
4523s	pretty interesting
4527s	um we don't want to do anything too
4529s	complicated
4534s	there
4537s	um Abyssal soul harvester of conf flager
4541s	likely not good for
4545s	me potion come
4548s	on you know you love potions
4555s	any better potion rate so
4560s	bad uh this is tricky this might be a
4563s	little too hard for
4566s	me just going
4569s	to acquire some potion stockpile before
4573s	we do
4576s	this like the worst thing possible to do
4580s	whatever though uh good good things that
4584s	I'm forgetting about that were were
4588s	interesting we couldn't
4590s	do it's too much
4598s	work it was okay there there was there
4600s	was some Minion focused Rune
4602s	Masters um that would have been really
4605s	interesting and cool but they would have
4606s	been so
4608s	complicated
4612s	um there was one concept that basically
4614s	had you casting everything from like a
4617s	minion almost like a
4632s	familiar great for us but that's okay
4646s	uh there was some cool ideas for
4648s	volatile reversal that I still want to
4650s	do so I kind of don't want to show what
4652s	they were
4655s	um that skill needs to
4658s	rework it's like it it is really good
4662s	and uh it is really fun to use but it's
4665s	too it's too universally useful the
4668s	utility is just so universally awesome
4671s	that I think it needs
4674s	um I think it needs some of its power
4677s	hidden in the top half of the Void
4679s	Knight tree specifically so that or or
4682s	or through some other method of like
4683s	void Knight restrictions so it's like
4685s	anyone can use it it's still really good
4686s	for anyone but it's like it's amazing on
4688s	void Knight it's good on everyone else
4690s	is is one is one thing I think would be
4692s	really healthy for Sentinel as a master
4694s	or as a base class overall
4698s	um and then i' I'd like to see it have
4701s	more
4703s	um intent ality to it more setup more uh
4708s	planning involved I think would be I
4710s	think would be a useful thing for
4716s	it can't remember what the question was
4718s	I'm just rambling about skill changes I
4719s	want
4724s	now I'll look over and answer I promise
4728s	let me let me oh yeah oh so good oh
4733s	totally totally super super useful for
4734s	my build definitely so
4739s	good
4741s	slow
4743s	whatever uh is there still a rework of
4746s	the shaman in
4748s	progress as as I said for a long time
4750s	ago I don't like this term rework really
4752s	for
4753s	Shaman um we we are still actively
4757s	updating and making changes to
4760s	it you might be the best way to put
4764s	that but the core themes
4767s	and um most of the skills won't have
4770s	their primary functions uh dramatically
4784s	alter uh it's it's missing a skill it's
4787s	missing uh some some nice
4789s	interactions um it's got a couple strong
4792s	bugs
4793s	still there's there's just like a few
4795s	little things that need to come into
4797s	place and then like an extra skill to
4799s	get slapped in there I think it's well
4801s	on its
4807s	way uh our skills that are bow attack
4810s	and melee are skills that are bow attack
4813s	and melee benefit from passive nodes
4814s	that only state bow attack or
4817s	melee uh or is it while that skill is
4820s	performing as a bow attack it only
4821s	benefits from passives that state bow
4822s	attacks and not melee yet so when when
4824s	you have um when when you put an ability
4827s	like puncture on your
4829s	bar
4831s	um this because I have a melee weapon
4834s	equipped this is always a melee
4838s	attack and uh it does not get benefits
4842s	from bow anything right now if I were to
4846s	equip a bow it is always a bow attack
4848s	and doesn't get any benefits or Mele
4853s	anything it does a full s swap I don't
4856s	the tool tip doesn't update nicely
4858s	unfortunately if we can do
4860s	that be interesting to look
4864s	into have a check what you're
4872s	wearing yeah I might be able to do
4878s	that not
4882s	sure all right any plans to allow CF
4885s	players to Target Farm Boss drops like
4887s	Prophecy with increased chance for a
4890s	boss to drop rare items or duplicate
4893s	boss drops um I I don't think there's
4895s	any plans uh for the prophecies to
4897s	affect boss drops at the
4903s	moment but I'm not sure on that I may
4906s	have just like missed that or something
4920s	Mana
4933s	issues this is called frantically
4936s	attempting not to die
4945s	and somehow
4966s	succeeding all right uh is there an ETA
4970s	for when we can expect to receive
4972s	digital soundtrack from The Ultimate
4973s	Edition
4980s	this is me going to look and make sure
4981s	it's not already there in
4992s	Steam it is not there already
4996s	H
4998s	surprising I do not know when that's
5001s	coming sorry
5009s	surprised it's not there already
5015s	though Ward on potion use and like
5017s	damage we don't do Ward we don't do
5019s	potion we don't use our potions and we
5021s	don't do light any damage
5045s	on the topic of legendary crafting are
5048s	there any plans to let us shatter the
5049s	ones we break
5051s	no um I do think there's room for
5055s	interesting or for for something to
5057s	happen in that space we don't need play
5059s	sword at the moment um
5065s	I guess I just also want to if I say we
5066s	don't have any plans for something
5067s	doesn't mean we can't have plans for
5068s	something if you want to see it go leave
5070s	a suggestion in the suggestions forums
5073s	um you never
5075s	know we we we we do read the suggestions
5078s	forms and we we take suggestions from
5080s	the suggestions forms and talk about
5081s	them in design meetings
5083s	um but we don't take suggestions from uh
5087s	from from
5093s	here um yeah there's like any anytime
5097s	you end up with a byproduct of a failed
5103s	crafting
5104s	experiment um I think it's I think it's
5107s	reasonable to have some sort of
5109s	mechanical outlet for that to try and
5111s	recoup some of the cost or uh at least
5113s	gain some sort of secondary benefit from
5117s	it like just selling it for gold is is
5120s	the most basic form of that and is so
5123s	underwhelming it almost feels like
5124s	doesn't exist
5138s	um it almost feels like it almost feels
5141s	like a good uh like dungeon reward or
5143s	something or I don't know like a new
5147s	crafting material
5148s	maybe that's problematic but
5153s	yeah uh
5157s	having those build into legendary
5158s	potential and other uniques is a pretty
5160s	firm now
5166s	though uh any possibility of tweaking
5169s	the legendary crafting for lp3 lp4 items
5171s	to prioritize including at least one
5173s	exalted stat I I mean anything's
5176s	possible but no uh it doesn't feel good
5179s	to finally get an extremely rare lp3
5180s	item finally get a compatible exalted
5183s	item then have the eternity cash pull
5184s	every stat except the exalted stat yeah
5187s	it's like I I can I can understand the
5190s	frustration there um I've you know
5194s	like I've I've rolled enough ctas in my
5197s	day to to to know that
5199s	frustration
5203s	um but uh it's I think it's important
5206s	that it's it's not a guarantee and you
5210s	know like there there is an element of
5211s	risk and reward to it um
5216s	maybe it's too much maybe it's too
5217s	little I don't know but
5227s	um I you already have like a uh three
5231s	out of four you know chance of getting
5233s	it so
5235s	like that's pretty high rate
5245s	hi hello how you doing good job on
5247s	making the game thanks uh spent some
5249s	nice 200 hours on it awesome I have no
5251s	regrets any plans rele some sort of road
5254s	map ah road maps are so
5259s	tricky I'd really like
5261s	to um that's a lot of
5265s	damage that's a lot of
5268s	damage um I really like to releas a road
5271s	map of some
5273s	sort um
5275s	we we've done it a few different times
5279s	and we we've kind of had issues with it
5281s	every time and I'm not sure how to do a
5285s	road map that effectively communicates
5288s	what we wanted to
5290s	communicate and
5292s	doesn't
5294s	uh leave room for players to make up
5297s	their own things for it to
5299s	communicate I guess it's the best for
5301s	that like like we we've we've put things
5303s	in road maps and like not included
5305s	something else and suddenly the fact
5307s	that we didn't include something in
5308s	robat means we're planning like we we
5311s	we're forbidding for it ever happen in
5312s	the game or um we we add it to the like
5315s	a road map we say like and a distant
5317s	thing we're considering is this um and
5320s	it means it's coming next patch and it's
5321s	like there's so much so many
5322s	misconceptions that come from road maps
5324s	that I don't I think it's possible that
5326s	they might do more harm than good in
5328s	some cases
5341s	um
5343s	but it is really nice to to have that
5347s	information available um I think we kind
5351s	of need to find a way to do it um I
5355s	don't know if we have any active plans
5358s	or development along those lines right
5360s	now
5367s	big
5371s	boy got
5391s	him uh can we get the ice Beetle as a
5393s	minion in a future class it's cute as
5395s	heck it is pretty cute um this actually
5397s	came up yesterday in ASDS I think um I I
5402s	think I I wouldn't I'm I'm against doing
5404s	this
5406s	um
5408s	and or or if we do it we need to remove
5411s	it from the
5412s	shrines I don't think that it's a good
5415s	idea to have a player summonable minion
5419s	as also a shrine summonable minion I
5421s	think it needs to be one or the other so
5422s	if we ever did pull the ice beetle to
5424s	the player we would need to put
5425s	something else in the shrine um I really
5428s	like the way the ice Beetle functions in
5430s	the game I think it's such uh
5433s	um I think I think it's a really
5437s	mechanically interesting bonus to have
5439s	because in a lot of C think freeze is a
5442s	really uncommon mechanic to run um and
5445s	it has such a high freeze rate that it
5448s	it changes the dynamic of combat for a
5450s	little while and I think that's really
5452s	interesting and I'm I I wish we had more
5455s	shrines that really change the dynamic
5457s	of combat more
5460s	um so
5464s	yeah uh I will oh yeah half an hour
5469s	left flying by here
5473s	um yeah well we'll keep going
5477s	questions uh what is the most important
5481s	things you guys want Ellie to differ
5483s	from Mo from pewy
5487s	ah we we we we so
5491s	rarely we so rarely look at this and say
5494s	like okay how like how can we make this
5495s	different than peee that's that's almost
5497s	never a conversation we have
5502s	um the only time that comes up is if
5504s	we've like accidentally developed
5506s	something that's so similar that we're
5507s	like H we got to differentiate this a
5509s	little bit somehow um it's only happened
5512s	once but like
5518s	we we're kind of we we try and keep
5520s	ourselves concentrated on our own game
5523s	and not on what other people are
5525s	doing
5528s	um
5533s	yeah just dropping keys left and right
5535s	wants me to go do
5536s	dungeons ice speedle
5539s	boy what oh there it is okay thought it
5542s	didn't give it to me for a second I was
5543s	like
5545s	got
5547s	problem it need a better icon
5550s	though also it's going to vanish by the
5553s	time we actually get to anything to
5554s	fight I
5557s	think ice be do your thing activate ice
5561s	Beetle yes that was close it froze
5565s	something I saw it
5593s	might have to drop
5595s	something I don't want to drop something
5606s	all right did you think about to hide
5610s	did you think about to hide LP
5614s	number would be nice for crafting
5616s	without knowing how many LP has
5626s	item uh okay so like you find it unique
5630s	and it just says has legendary potential
5632s	but it doesn't say like how much AR
5634s	potential it has so you kind of just
5636s	slap it in and hope for the
5637s	best uh I I I I don't think that would
5641s	be a popular change but if you'd like to
5643s	leave the suggestion please head on over
5644s	to the forums and drop it there uh
5647s	speaking of Dashing in town why is it
5649s	that you can't use abilities in town in
5651s	offline but not online or you can't you
5655s	can use them offline you can't use them
5656s	online um uh performance server issues
5661s	it's like if if you could use abilities
5663s	into Town um the servers would would
5667s	would crash and burn very very quickly
5670s	we confirmed this many
5676s	times lots of good stuff up there oh
5679s	yeah so glad that icon got changed this
5685s	one we're going to go up we're going to
5687s	do
5690s	it hello hi I really enjoy I just really
5695s	oh random name X that's a 20 month sub
5699s	right there thank you very much Lee just
5702s	going to do these manually because I
5704s	don't know why it's not working
5712s	automatically volume's on to play the
5716s	filters are set right I don't know why
5717s	it's not
5718s	working I think I turned it off last
5720s	time cuz it was going nuts and I just
5722s	like it doesn't want to come back we'll
5723s	figure it out
5725s	uh hello I really enjoy Le and it's
5727s	great game thank you very much will we
5729s	get new unique Idols for every class and
5732s	sets uh or does some sets get buffed
5739s	um uh unique Idols are quite rare for us
5742s	to add
5746s	um it's it's kind of a special thing to
5749s	to have a unique idle but it is space
5751s	that we do want to explore more um
5755s	and just had to get a little bit of blue
5757s	out of there um as as for set items we
5761s	do have a slightly longer term plan for
5763s	set items to be uh to have a shift in
5769s	their place in the gearing World
5774s	um they they they need they need a
5776s	little bit they need a new mechanic to
5779s	go with them overall in order to have
5781s	them fit into your
5782s	gearing ecosystem
5784s	nicely um so we're still working on that
5787s	we've got something planned it's not
5788s	implemented yet um once it's done and
5791s	dusted we can we can talk about all that
5792s	sort of stuff but uh we are working on
5794s	sets we know they're not awesome uh they
5797s	will be
5803s	awesome I know there's there's there's
5805s	uh healthy and heavy skepticism around
5807s	the possibility that sets can be done
5809s	well um and you know maybe our idea
5812s	doesn't work and if it doesn't work we
5813s	may have to Pivot we may have to remove
5815s	it I don't know what's going to happen
5817s	um we' even made some pseudo sets
5819s	already cuz we didn't like the way sets
5820s	were going um the the mountain set for
5824s	example set
5844s	the transfer first instead of avoiding
5849s	those all right 10 minute warning on
5851s	taking questions so uh if your
5854s	question's not in in the next 10 minutes
5856s	we are not answering
5865s	it oh my goodness that's what happens
5868s	when your hand is in the wrong spot of
5869s	the keyboard
5874s	this is what happens when you're bad at
5875s	the game oh I heard that one I heard
5878s	that
5880s	one yeah Gideon x uh Gideon 9 Gideon
5889s	933 go gide a
5892s	933 very
5899s	much oh is a gifted sub
5904s	for Tito
5906s	Londo thank you very much glad to have
5908s	youall with
5915s	us perfect
5918s	test uh all
5920s	right we will be able to make Ally out
5924s	of big bosses from different timelines
5926s	question mark
5931s	uh not really I don't think so uh that
5935s	that's a cool
5938s	idea play the suggestions
5943s	clip um it would be cool if an influent
5946s	uh influent if an influent character
5950s	like an influential character would come
5951s	and help us like in Hades in a form of a
5953s	boon or a form of a more direct way oh
5956s	like um like you got herat's blessing
5959s	and you're fighting lagon and herat
5961s	shows up to like help you for a second
5962s	yeah that would be really cool
5965s	um I haven't heard anything like that
5981s	planned that's an exalted
5985s	belt has not what I want on it dang
5992s	it I'm really on the lookout for good
5994s	belt right
5997s	now any thoughts on adding a unique to
6000s	tornado that allows tornadoes to combine
6002s	into one giant single one don't we have
6005s	that on the
6009s	tree like cast 10 and it merges into one
6012s	oh like like 10 active ones uh I mean I
6016s	haven't seen anything like that but if
6016s	you'd like to leave a suggestion head on
6018s	over to the forums
6026s	uh it it it doesn't work having skills
6029s	interact with other skills after the
6030s	fact is really difficult to do um and if
6034s	they if they move it's so much harder so
6037s	you may you may notice that um just in
6039s	1.0 for the first time we actually had
6040s	skills that can interact with each other
6043s	um it's a very new thing uh and caused
6045s	all sorts of problems um and with the
6048s	like dive bomb interacting with smoke
6049s	bomb
6051s	and
6052s	uh something else too with with um
6056s	decoy where it like detonates
6059s	decoy that one worked better but yeah
6062s	it's it's having skills interacting with
6064s	other skills is something we've always
6065s	wanted to do one one of the very early
6067s	concepts for the game was um being able
6070s	to do like cross class interactions for
6072s	example like uh the the one that was
6074s	pitched really early on we never did was
6078s	um like being able to shoot a fireball
6081s	like a m a Mage and a druid and the Mage
6084s	or the drw like cast tornado and then
6086s	the Mage like shoots fireball at the the
6088s	tornado and the tornado becomes fire
6090s	tornado um it's how you got the fire
6092s	Tado note
6096s	actually which is the like prime example
6099s	of an off
6102s	class uh primary element conversion in a
6111s	tree it's a Remnant from a failed
6113s	mechanic
6116s	uh any plans for the bot in chat
6118s	promoting their sites uh asking earlier
6121s	not sure if it skipped over or not um
6125s	the uh we we delete so many messages and
6130s	prevent so many more from even coming in
6132s	in the first place uh you're seeing a
6134s	tiny teeny tiny fraction of the messages
6136s	that get sent regarding gold spam it's
6140s	insane
6142s	um I hope I hope
6144s	if if anyone out there runs a gold
6145s	selling website and you're watching this
6147s	please stop it
6149s	sucks uh no that won't do
6155s	anything uh do you guys consider other
6157s	engines such as unreal as opposed Unity
6159s	yes we did um the timeline on the game's
6162s	development um made Unity the pretty
6166s	obvious
6167s	choice uh
6170s	and um let I frequently get the question
6172s	like would if you go back would you do
6174s	something different um no I wouldn't do
6177s	something different and
6179s	um do I think unreal would be better at
6182s	certain things uh than others for us yes
6185s	definitely
6187s	um I don't think the game would have
6189s	gotten this far if we'd picked
6192s	unreal easy too
6195s	easy so I'm very happy with our
6198s	choice I would not have changed
6201s	it but we did consider other
6209s	stop taking questions wonderful thank
6210s	you very much appreciate it no more
6211s	questions question cut
6213s	off that uh we do that ruy is there
6217s	plans for an idle crafting system I
6219s	going answer this question right now
6220s	this the last question I'm answering
6221s	everything before this I'll answer
6222s	everything after I'm not answering uh so
6224s	so plans from Idol craftsm um we don't
6226s	have any active plans in development for
6228s	it but I'd really love to have one and I
6230s	think there's a good chance it will be
6231s	something we add down the line um it's
6234s	it's one of those like axes of character
6236s	progression and uh mechanical stuff that
6239s	we've intentionally left bare so that we
6241s	can add it in the
6250s	future all right so no more questions
6252s	but I will answer all the ones that the
6254s	there's still a bunch that I haven't
6255s	answered between the last one answered
6257s	in the one that I just answered so I
6259s	will be answering those don't worry all
6261s	right I know you're going to in some
6264s	character creation um will that also
6266s	include female male for every class we
6268s	do have plans for a character
6271s	customization system um whereby you'll
6274s	be able to customize the appearance of
6276s	your character we do plan on including
6278s	body type as one of those options um I
6282s	this is this is not a soon thing this is
6284s	not something people are actively
6285s	working on developing inside the team
6287s	right now um this is going to be quite a
6289s	ways out
6291s	um but it is something that we are are
6294s	um interested in doing still planning on
6296s	doing uh it's not been
6301s	forgotten gets asked every week you
6304s	won't let us forget it that's fine um
6306s	it's it's one of those things that like
6308s	um and this is my Spiel for it every
6310s	time is people either either it's the
6312s	most important thing in the game or who
6314s	cares type thing um and there just a few
6318s	people are like it's a nice value ad
6319s	it's good to have but it's not a big
6321s	deal if it doesn't have it um
6325s	and it's it's one of those things where
6327s	we feel like there's just other parts of
6329s	the core game systems that we need to
6330s	develop first um and once we've had more
6333s	time to develop those
6336s	um and the core game is feeling better
6338s	and all that sort of stuff it's it's the
6339s	type of thing that we will uh expand
6341s	into and be looking to improve because
6343s	it is it is important it is incredibly
6345s	important to a huge uh group of people
6349s	and um we we want
6352s	to have a game they enjoy
6365s	playing all right uh Mike scale of 1 to
6368s	100 what is the likelihood of any future
6370s	merch including a plushy Gregory oh
6375s	God I I
6380s	I I'm I'm I'm like rattled by the
6383s	question
6384s	apparently um I want merch so bad um
6389s	every week my mom sends me a message
6390s	asking when she can buy merch
6394s	um so don't worry I can't forget it
6402s	um I I I don't know when it's going to
6404s	happen I keep getting told it's coming
6405s	soon it's in the works y y yada um the
6409s	chances of it happening extremely high
6411s	say 92
6414s	97 we're extremely high it's going to
6416s	happen chance it's going to happen
6418s	anytime soon I don't
6425s	know whoever whoever's working on merch
6427s	hit me up in my off time I'll do it in
6429s	my
6429s	downtime I'll push for it I'll call I'll
6431s	call Distributors what do I need to do
6433s	I'll do it let let me let let me do
6441s	it I know nothing about implementing
6443s	merch it might be really difficult I
6445s	just a complete
6454s	Noob but I know there were some Plushies
6456s	that were talked about at one point I
6458s	don't know if that ever came of anything
6461s	but I know there was it was it was a
6463s	discussion at least
6473s	no LP garbage throw it
6481s	away uh any plans to let were bear form
6484s	swap its basic attack from swi to
6486s	Gathering storm now that we have a new
6488s	skill to support lightning bear
6489s	synergies uh don't no plans on it that
6492s	I've heard I'd be more interested in
6494s	hitting some spriggan synergies than uh
6497s	bars it's got so many already but um
6499s	yeah it's possible suggestions the y y
6504s	yada uh do you plan on doing a cooking
6506s	stream for Q&A a cooking stream like
6510s	like me actually cooking
6513s	something uh
6516s	no I can sit here make sushi or uh lots
6520s	of other things
6521s	too but like stuff outside like that I
6525s	could bring outside of the kitchen I I
6528s	that's so no I'm not doing a cooking
6530s	stream sorry
6535s	oh ice Beetle posi let's
6541s	go can't stop the beetle
6544s	Bros Super Beetle
6553s	Bros by our powers combined we are
6556s	Beetle
6557s	Bros guess we're going to name them this
6559s	one this one's
6560s	donatell this one's Michelangelo
6563s	this one's
6564s	Raphael this one's
6568s	Jack I'm
6570s	Mike
6575s	I I'm sticking by my
6577s	mistakes it was right there and I missed
6579s	it it doesn't matter
6599s	all right more questions would it be
6601s	possible for you to integrate automatic
6602s	collection of shards as well as Keys it
6604s	is technically possible for us to do
6606s	that we have no plans to do
6613s	so uh will we uh will get one day some
6616s	kind of Capstone passive uh at the last
6620s	nose of the skill trees for each class
6623s	they'll be exclusive with each other
6624s	right now I feel no excitement when I
6626s	reach the far end of the skill tree
6628s	that's that's an interesting point you
6630s	brought we actually considered that cuz
6631s	like we do put like cap some ones up
6633s	there um and we considered having them
6635s	be unique from each other
6637s	um can't remember why we didn't but um
6641s	that is that is something we have
6642s	considered
6646s	before any plans in lives to zoom out
6649s	the fov a bit
6652s	no no no no uh good day good day any
6657s	plans on adding some sort of Base
6661s	mechanic some form like oh base mechanic
6664s	like Hideout or something if you yes
6666s	would it be customized um I I'd love to
6668s	get something like this in
6670s	I I don't
6673s	know sweet
6676s	um we've always had this sort of
6680s	hesitation to make a base
6683s	uh a base mechanic like that like a
6685s	hideout a customizable Hideout system
6688s	um in the fear that it
6691s	will uh pull people out of towns too
6694s	much and you know everyone's isolated on
6696s	their own servers um and
6704s	would you know not not really have
6708s	a few other little things
6711s	but if the there were a way
6715s	to customize some space that you went
6718s	into
6719s	frequently um I I don't know it's it's
6723s	possible I i' would say I i' I'd love to
6725s	do it I think there's um there's
6727s	probably some way to
6729s	incorporate that uh would would Sage our
6733s	concerns and uh still be interesting and
6736s	exciting for players to do
6739s	um I don't know what that is off head
6741s	right now I'm sorry
6745s	uh any Ward changes yep um I think I can
6749s	go into detail on them right now but um
6753s	yeah there there's I mean all there has
6755s	to be
6756s	is one like the the the W aics the
6759s	maximum of t7 w aics reduced by one
6762s	there's W changes you know I I don't
6763s	know what it's going to be um but yeah
6765s	we we are looking at w we there's the
6768s	intention behind the question is likely
6769s	in regards to Ward being kind of op
6772s	right now
6773s	um and and yeah
6775s	there's uh I think room for Ward
6783s	to Ward's kind of finicky it's a really
6786s	interesting mechanic and it it lends
6789s	itself really well to Min maxing
6793s	um at the same time when you minmax w
6796s	too hard it kind of
6801s	goes it kind of goes too hard that's
6805s	funny back to back Titan
6811s	hurt
6813s	um so while it is something that like
6816s	would be nice
6819s	to improve upon
6824s	I'm we got some plans for
6827s	it so similar
6836s	oh more idols and good
6841s	there I mean that is good but not for
6850s	us character sheets yeah it's going to
6853s	happen one day I promise eventually
6854s	it'll take a while can we have R tracing
6856s	and Nvidia frame generation on settings
6858s	please um not until we upgrade the
6861s	engine no sorry it's not
6865s	possible uh but we are working on
6867s	upgrading the engine So eventually uh
6869s	any plans ideas about idle crafting
6871s	maybe limited form from a
6873s	dungeon uh not with forg menu yeah I
6875s	think that's a likely Avenue for us to
6880s	go uh any plans to adjust mob density we
6883s	do we we have been uh and probably will
6887s	continue to gradually increase mob
6889s	density um like mob density is in 1.0 is
6893s	more than it was in 0.92 which is more
6895s	than it was in 0.91 which is more than
6896s	it was in like you know it is
6905s	increasing I I love this weapon so
6917s	much just the visuals of having like
6919s	this is my anchor I'm going to hit you
6920s	in the face with an anchor
6928s	all right any chance is going to be an
6929s	option to buy more character slots no
6932s	I'd love to have more characters with
6933s	more builds uh and just to get and
6936s	just at the ready and love leveling them
6940s	um we we are planning on increasing the
6943s	number of character slots available you
6944s	won't be able to buy
6946s	them we consider that a uh like pay for
6950s	convenience uh type system so we don't
6953s	want to have it but we do plan on having
6955s	more uh the the way the character limit
6959s	was
6960s	implemented um was really unfortunate
6962s	we're getting so many Beatles this time
6963s	I love it and um the way the character
6966s	limit got implemented it makes it really
6968s	hard to increase it actually which I
6969s	know sounds ridiculous um but we have
6973s	slowly been decoupling it from uh why
6976s	it's difficult to increase it
6979s	um it will become easier to increase it
6981s	in the future
6984s	um so it is something that we we know
6986s	people are are looking forward to having
6988s	more of we do plan to increase it more
6993s	still it's not quite ready
6997s	yet and it's not the sort of thing that
6999s	we're interested in charging
7001s	for uh regarding the previous question
7003s	on movement skills in town do you
7005s	consider to maybe just increase general
7006s	movement speed when in town we have
7008s	thought of that
7010s	um we've we've got something else in
7012s	mind
7014s	don't worry it's going to be
7017s	great bothers me just as much as it
7019s	bothers
7021s	you uh do you have a better chance of
7024s	getting higher LP and high corruption
7026s	yes you do or is it random it is random
7028s	but you um it is influenced by the area
7032s	level and your corruption so once you
7036s	get to level 100 it's the max the area
7037s	level can affect it and then after that
7039s	corruption affects it um and corruption
7043s	does affect it in lower level zones so
7045s	if you're in like a a a normal monolith
7048s	and you do increase your corruption that
7049s	does affect it as well but it's it's a
7051s	small amount at that point because it
7052s	only goes up to 50 Max and it's not a
7055s	big deal but yes um uh once you're level
7058s	100 the only way to increase the chances
7060s	of an uh item having LP as it's dropping
7064s	apart from um CF stuff is uh is through
7070s	uh
7070s	corruption it's not a huge influence but
7073s	it it's um it is
7085s	noticeable and there uh it's it's been a
7087s	while now and I've already refuted it a
7089s	couple times but I'll do it again
7090s	there's been a couple posts that have
7091s	gone out uh with uh anecdotal data
7095s	suggesting the opposite is true uh it
7098s	the sample size was not large enough um
7101s	and then a secondary test that was run
7103s	in the same post actually confirmed that
7105s	it does affect it
7106s	so it's it it works the way I'm saying
7110s	it
7114s	works guess who just survived
7120s	Avalanche any plans to rework the
7122s	current bizaar to improve filtering and
7123s	make it easier to put up items for the
7125s	right place yep uh any ideas about
7127s	improving the stash tab search functions
7129s	something like we get Google does meta
7131s	search functions
7133s	uh not quite like that but
7136s	yes
7138s	um
7140s	yeah are we getting any melee love
7143s	anytime soon
7145s	yeah well
7147s	there's we we definitely have kept melee
7150s	in mind very acutely in the development
7155s	of the Pinnacle boss content um
7159s	and it's it's like range does have a
7163s	very natural
7165s	Advantage um and we're taking steps to
7168s	mitigate that natural
7176s	Advantage uh will the Ardent Creator
7178s	pack design a unique ever make a return
7181s	uh the spikes Spike can make a nice
7184s	one-handed spear I seee that
7186s	Spike hi
7189s	um I don't think we have any plans to
7192s	bring back back the pack as it was um we
7195s	we love doing supporter uniques
7198s	supporter uniques are some of some of
7200s	the best uniques we've ever had or
7201s	supported uniques something you like
7204s	have people who have have um just
7206s	started playing 1.0 um which is like the
7208s	vast majority of players um have um
7212s	probably haven't didn't realize that
7214s	some old some some well established
7215s	uniques were old old supporter uniques
7218s	um X Angus for example one of the first
7220s	supporter uniques um
7224s	you know like there's there's a lot of
7227s	really iconic lasty Puck items that have
7231s	been that have come from support uniques
7234s	which I think I think is is fantastic um
7237s	and we would love to get back in there
7239s	and do more of them with people um and I
7241s	think I think we will
7244s	um the uh the the key thing is is
7249s	that the the amount we'd have to sell
7252s	them for to like break even on doing
7255s	them I know I know sounds ridiculous but
7257s	like the amount that we' have to sell
7258s	them for to break even as like as a
7260s	company is is stupid it's a point where
7262s	you'd be like PE people would be upset
7265s	at the amount we'd be charging for them
7268s	they'd be like this is ridiculous like
7270s	there's no way like yeah yeah like it's
7272s	it's it's just it would be an a bad look
7275s	for the the number we'd have to put it
7276s	up for um and then and then on top of
7280s	that we'd have to put it up high enough
7283s	to like
7285s	um not attract too much attention so
7288s	that we could fulfill all of it uh and
7291s	that's making it even more expensive and
7293s	and and that's just that doesn't feel
7294s	good we don't want to do that we'd
7296s	rather
7299s	um have it be more reasonable and uh
7304s	probably attach some form of
7306s	randomization to who gets to do it um
7312s	I think that's a much
7316s	uh a much better way of putting it
7328s	now cuz we don't have the
7331s	time to work with everyone who would
7333s	want to buy one at a rate that's
7338s	reasonable and we don't want to put it
7339s	up for an unreasonable rate so we'd have
7341s	to limit
7343s	the um people who are getting a chance
7346s	to do it probably through some sort of
7347s	randomization I I don't know this is
7349s	this is very speculative on my part uh I
7351s	but I would love to do more of them um
7353s	if there's a way for us to do them
7355s	reasonably and effectively and all sorts
7357s	of stuff uh I would very much push to
7359s	opening that back up
7362s	again uh last
7367s	one and the final question this evening
7370s	afternoon good morning whatever time it
7372s	is for
7374s	you are we going to get some build
7377s	presets to save so we don't have to
7379s	Respec if we want to switch to a few
7382s	different builds sorry no D3 Armory is
7385s	not coming to last
7392s	Epoch and that'll just about do it we
7394s	are we timed that well Fitz thank you
7397s	for keeping me on
7399s	schedule um we are right at the end of
7401s	time

7412s	oh oh someone asked the question before
7414s	the 10 minutes and I didn't do
7418s	it L hack you know what time this starts
7422s	you've been around the block a few times

7458s	find a
7459s	weapon we got our Idols unlocked finally
7462s	we we got gaps Galore in this bad boy of
7465s	a build got got to get that LP
7469s	rocking oh we got gaps Galore in this
7471s	build that's okay I'm really enjoying
7473s	this build I'm liking it a lot it's it's
7474s	quirky
7476s	and uh the the potion management is
7478s	surprisingly
7480s	tricky um if I failed to answer your
7484s	question effectively or just didn't get
7486s	to it I apologize um feel free to come
7488s	ask it in the asid dev channel on
7489s	Discord I have reopened that
7493s	um he was just a little too busy for a
7495s	while there but we've we've we've calmed
7496s	down enough that I can do it uh we're
7498s	still working on a plan for setting that
7500s	up in a better way for long-term
7503s	High uh basically when a cycle resets
7507s	having it be possible still type thing
7510s	um that'll just about do it for us

Really hoping this season makes a change to enemy DoT 🤞

RNGod wants me to continue playing LE after 3 months break....

Am I missing quest passive points or not?

Best roll I've ever had
