296s	great finally be able to talk about
297s	everything finally be able to share
299s	everything oh I can't wait for March
301s	very
306s	excited got first question here are you
308s	taking any inspiration from poe2 yeah I
312s	mean so we tons of us on the on the uh
315s	design team Dev team um art team like
320s	all all over the company people have
321s	been playing poe2 and poe1 and other
324s	RPGs and like we we definitely get
327s	inspired by the games we play and pee2
330s	is a fantastic arpg um that we'd be like
334s	crazy to just
336s	ignore um so yeah we definitely take
338s	inspiration from those games
344s	um oh should we check out what what's
346s	going on here what we
348s	got
349s	uh not a ton of super useful stuff
352s	that's okay oh yeah can't wait for that
356s	stuff to Auto happen it's uh I've lost
359s	my I've lost my my like muscle memory of
360s	like going in and transferring the
361s	shards cuz they just transfer
367s	now all right that that is something
369s	that we have that's that's been Prett
370s	spoiled yeah Mr
373s	flibble that's a 15mon resub that's
376s	that's what we're doing right that's
377s	what we're talking about right there
378s	that feels very good thank you very much
381s	I also still love your name by the
385s	way all right uh will skill sigils be
389s	part of the next update no skill sigils
391s	will not be involved in season 2 at all
393s	that was something that we previously
394s	teased in the old version of the road
396s	map um it will not be in season 2 I'm
400s	sorry
402s	uhh I think it would be cool to if we
404s	could name our legendaries as that
406s	possibility in the future interesting um
408s	we've we've talked about doing stuff
410s	like this with custom naming um we don't
413s	have any plans to do it it is
415s	technically possible so it's something
417s	that we could like we we can alter the
420s	um the item encoding and add a naming
422s	field and you know and and put a name in
424s	there like that is something that is
425s	functionally possible for us to we don't
426s	have any plans currently to do it um but
431s	I do think it's really cool I used to
432s	love
433s	um so you could you can in D2 there was
436s	a quest that uh you could name an item
440s	uh in there but it would always name the
442s	item your character's name and so I I
444s	don't know if anyone else did this but I
446s	would you only get three items of uh
451s	like there's three quests normal
452s	nightmare hell so you only get three
454s	items of that name per character per
456s	name unless you delete the character and
459s	remake
460s	it and so like I don't if anyone else
462s	ever did this but you you play through
465s	uh like you play through the game normal
467s	nightmare hell you complete the quest in
468s	all three and you name three items that
471s	you're going to use to the final build
472s	in this and then you delete the
473s	character that's probably like I don't
475s	know depends how how efficient you are
477s	with rushing could be anywhere in the 10
479s	to 40 level range you know and then you
483s	um you do it all over again until you
485s	until you name the entire set of items
487s	you're going to use uh then you make the
489s	character one final time and uh you use
492s	this entire set of items named after you
495s	I I
497s	yeah I'm with
501s	you all right uh Aaron asked me to ask
505s	you sure he did hi aon's all no not in
508s	medic I know it's not you um about
510s	controller developments thanks to
511s	advance yeah controller developments are
512s	going to be sweet there's um there's a
514s	lot of targeting stuff with controllers
516s	right now um andariel has res is that
520s	that say 46 months is that what that
522s	says oh my goodness oh my
526s	goodness
527s	wow wow it's almost four years how long
531s	have we been streaming for Are we almost
533s	the four year mark of
535s	streaming that's wild that's very cool
538s	thank you very much um
541s	and uh yeah controller developments yeah
543s	so so a lot of targeting stuff sorry got
545s	got derailed there um you'll now be able
548s	to I've said this before but you'll be
549s	able to um kite really well because
552s	every ability has context specific
554s	targeting methods um for
558s	also uh specialization specific
561s	targeting methods So like um by taking
563s	certain
565s	abilities um by taking certain nodes in
567s	each ability it'll change how the
569s	ability targets
570s	uh specifically so that you'll be able
571s	to take full advantage of that ability I
573s	don't if I have a good example on Mage
574s	cuz Mage Mage ones are pretty
576s	straightforward it's like Target the
578s	enemy with the
580s	damage um
583s	H it's like Arcane ascendant add like
586s	some some some of them like add slight
588s	movement into it oh
591s	yes uh Frost wall has several that
595s	change cuz there's ones where you like
597s	want to position the frost wall like
599s	between you and the next enemy and
600s	others where you want to position the
601s	frost wall like on the enemies um and so
605s	yeah the lots of positioning stuff for
608s	that all right um sorry I joined late
611s	not that late we're 7 minutes into the
613s	stream that's that's pretty prompt third
616s	question I think fourth question do you
618s	have any date for the patch note reveal
620s	in March I don't have a specific date
622s	for the patch notes yet um this is I
625s	think we're we're we're trying
627s	to we want the patch Nots out we always
629s	want the patch on out as soon as we can
631s	um and we always like as much time as
633s	possible to work and and fix little
635s	things and uh so sometimes we're like
638s	can we can we fit this in the game can
639s	we as soon as the patch notes go out
641s	it's it's uh a little less opportunity
644s	for
649s	that uh are you going to make some more
651s	minion types and more elements um
654s	there's more minion types yes more like
656s	elements other than than these seven I
658s	don't think we're going to increase Le
660s	the number here I think this is a pretty
663s	um like exhaustive list the only like
665s	there's a few there's a little bit of
667s	theming that happens from some elements
669s	that are kind of missing like there's no
671s	holy element but we can definitely get
673s	that with fire and lightning um and
676s	there's
677s	no uh that's really the biggest missing
679s	one isn't it what else is
682s	there sure there others too but we can
684s	usually fit the theming in with
686s	something else um sometimes there's like
689s	gravity stuff I could argue that's
691s	physical or
692s	void
693s	[Music]
696s	um yeah water I feel like that just fits
700s	under cold as you argue that's physical
706s	though I I doubt I doubt we do any more
708s	elements Seven's already quite a bit
711s	yeah hello Mike uh since we now know
713s	when poe2 would drop their content isn't
716s	it a good idea for you guys to reveal
717s	when you have season 2 uh what you have
720s	for season 2 this coming weeks to build
722s	hype oh yeah we're going to be we're
724s	going to be building hype um we're going
726s	to be starting off uh March is going to
729s	be full of full of full of hype posts
732s	full of hype uh info lots of cool stuff
736s	coming um I do have some teasers today
739s	that will uh reveal a few new few new
743s	things yeah teers here we're still we're
747s	over a month away still over a month
751s	away um all right merch store update oh
755s	my goodness I want a merch store update
757s	I don't I got nothing for you I'm
763s	sorry all right true or false the
766s	Barbarian character design will be
768s	designed after Aon action
772s	RPG I've been hearing rumors that the
774s	barber class will be designed around
776s	swollenness that is Aaron action RPG
780s	uh nope I uh I going to go ahead and say
784s	false
788s	um with the caveat that this does not
791s	imply the existence of a barbarian class
794s	or
798s	not all right uh was there a graphics
801s	update I missed recently for some reason
803s	this just looks so clean oh thank you
805s	very much I do I always I always like
806s	hearing when the game feels good I we
808s	haven't done like a big graphics
809s	overhaul recently um but you know
812s	there's always little things we're doing
814s	and every time we remove one thing that
816s	doesn't look great uh the whole game
818s	feels like it just looks a little bit
822s	better it's my theory
824s	anyways uh yeah so we're we're
826s	definitely we're adding in a bunch of
827s	new stuff next patch that'll uh either
829s	replace existing things or uh expand the
832s	options for for different visual effects
834s	and things like that and it's like it's
836s	going to look even better
839s	it just keeps getting
841s	better we have not done enough side
844s	quests
846s	apparently all right
850s	nesis not much
859s	here that was
864s	close
866s	sickening the timely level up
870s	choking my
873s	[Music]
877s	Asing okay get another question here
879s	Mike don't just don't just play the game
880s	what are you doing uh any options in the
883s	future to filter specific uniques
884s	instead of having to go for above under
886s	equal level or item type um I don't know
890s	if we I don't if we've got like the
891s	fullon uh just like pick a unique in
894s	there or
896s	not uh I know we we added a few a few
899s	new C categories of things but uh there
901s	hasn't been any huge H I don't
905s	know I don't know I'm
910s	sorry this one of those of
912s	like that meeting was months ago what
915s	made it
919s	in all
925s	right uh will classes be more balanced
928s	between each other yeah I mean we're
930s	always we're always improving the
931s	balance of the game I think
933s	um
934s	yeah uh when will the patch notes for
937s	season 2 few days same time in March
939s	cheers Mike I don't have a specific time
941s	for the patch notes right now but uh I'm
944s	I'm hoping that we'll be a little bit a
946s	little bit earlier than we usually do
947s	but who
951s	knows it it'll be pretty close to the
953s	patch so like I I don't know when the
955s	date's going to be but it'll be pretty
957s	close to the patch
963s	all right H hi Mike I
966s	missed I missed a few Dev streams I'm
969s	sure it's a repeat but our set items
971s	updated for season 2 I don't we haven't
972s	actually said if they're going to be or
974s	not
987s	um all right uh is blade dancer getting
990s	any love this
993s	season uh there's some not a lot uh some
1001s	but not a lot you know it's a tricky
1004s	thing because like we release a single
1006s	unique item and every class has access
1008s	to that you know that's that's something
1009s	for everyone um is it really focused
1013s	around that class no is it like is it
1015s	more than any other class no so it's
1017s	it's a tricky question to answer so
1019s	there's I would say the blade dancer is
1020s	probably in the lower half of the uh
1025s	adjustments for per class stuff um but
1029s	still getting some everything is getting
1031s	some
1034s	stuff
1036s	[Music]
1038s	uh all right uh please excuse the nasty
1041s	question uh oh uh-oh uh it's okay you're
1045s	excused haven't even ready yet um but
1048s	are you guys thinking about pushing the
1049s	start of season 2 back a bit from some
1052s	given reasons uh I I assume the reasons
1055s	being the potential time conflicts with
1058s	uh with other games I don't think we
1061s	have any plans to change our release
1062s	date whatsoever
1064s	[Music]
1065s	um if if there is anything that that
1068s	comes like there's nothing internally
1070s	that's causing us to look at changing
1071s	that release date um so if we did uh it
1075s	would be an external thing and I have no
1077s	information about that um
1080s	um I would be I would be really shocked
1082s	I haven't heard anyone mention moving it
1084s	at all uh I I I don't want to say it's
1087s	not possible or anything but like
1090s	yeah feel like I would have heard
1092s	something by now if it was even being
1096s	considered all
1099s	right melee cold damage that's what
1101s	we're
1104s	doing or at least trying
1107s	to retrieve the
1110s	put your weapons down either the
1112s	way this is the beginning of dark all
1119s	right what do we got a little skill
1121s	point
1122s	here into the Divine
1133s	era
1136s	yeah do like that
1148s	yes why did I not grab that one
1153s	yet it's not a lot still something I
1156s	should get a new
1158s	weapon really should try and do that all
1162s	right
1164s	um will there be any way to semi-
1167s	deterministically swap out one
1168s	resistance resistance on an item for
1170s	another uh we don't have anything
1172s	planned on that right now I cannot uh
1175s	it's the only thing that keeps me from
1176s	from playing right
1178s	now
1180s	um oh those are two questions there yeah
1183s	um I mean resist there's lots of tools
1186s	to uh like to adjust resistances and
1189s	things like that I'd say
1191s	there's
1192s	um one of the easiest ways to micro your
1196s	your uh resistances uh late game is
1199s	through blessings because now that you
1201s	can respect blessings um you can pretty
1204s	quickly switch between active blessings
1205s	and change because you can get a lot of
1207s	resistances from blessings
1210s	um and then also Idols as well so
1213s	between the idols and the blessings
1214s	there's a lot of noodling that you can
1215s	do with with resistances there without
1216s	having to actually change gear
1218s	physically um like the actual gear gear
1221s	and
1223s	um yeah so I don't think we have
1225s	anything that that's just like hey
1226s	switch out one resist for another coming
1231s	but you know I mean you like it slap it
1233s	in the ideas and uh you never
1236s	know just going to dump everything in
1247s	here as a Game Dev what made you make
1250s	the game in unity over unreal customer
1252s	other engine um so this has a lot to do
1255s	like I think if we were going to be
1258s	making last Deo from scratch today with
1262s	our existing team and the existing
1265s	establishment of the studio and
1266s	resources we have now compared to what
1268s	we had when we were starting nothing um
1271s	we would probably be looking at
1272s	something other than Unity as an option
1274s	when we started making this um unreal 5
1277s	hadn't even been announced yet so it was
1280s	it was Unreal 4 at the time was the only
1282s	option there um which was still a very
1285s	good engine for sure but it was um
1287s	dramatically more expensive than Unity
1288s	at the time time
1291s	um and uh everyone who started working
1294s	on the project had experience in unity
1296s	uh so it was it was a convenience and uh
1301s	price were were huge huge reasons why we
1304s	started in unity in the first place
1308s	um and you know once once you get far
1311s	enough along in a game it's almost
1313s	impossible to switch engines uh it's not
1316s	impossible but it is uh very difficult
1318s	and when you're in like a very public
1321s	development cycle that's constantly
1322s	releasing it is really hard to uh take
1325s	the time off to uh to do to do something
1328s	like that so H I think there was just
1330s	never really an opportunity for us to
1332s	consider switching and uh you know I
1336s	yeah I I'm I'm really happy that we got
1339s	the game where it is today uh and like
1342s	couldn't be more happy with how the game
1344s	is performing and all that sort of stuff
1345s	and it's like
1347s	um it is
1350s	it's hard to think of a way we could
1351s	have got here without Unity so there's
1353s	there's some you
1357s	know I don't know sentiment around
1360s	it but yeah if we could uh if we could
1363s	switch to a custom engine I feel like we
1365s	like if that was a real possibility yeah
1367s	that' be amazing there's lots of things
1369s	you can do in custom engines because you
1371s	build the game you build the engine with
1373s	the game in mind um if that's like if
1376s	that's something you can do then yeah
1377s	you can have do things really
1379s	efficiently um there's certain features
1381s	you can work in that just work because
1383s	you designed everything from the ground
1385s	up to work with that you know it's uh
1388s	yeah the and then at the same time it's
1391s	a lot easier to get people to join the
1392s	team to work on it and and Slot right in
1395s	if it's a framework that they're used to
1397s	so people because people know how to use
1398s	Unity out there um we we like hire
1401s	someone on and they're like oh I've
1403s	worked in unity for 10 years and you're
1404s	like great hit the ground running and
1407s	they do and it's wonderful
1409s	um so there's there's like there's good
1411s	and bad things about um about using
1414s	different engines and uh yeah I mean I
1416s	think I think we're using Unity very
1424s	well all right uh is it fair to say the
1428s	new redacted items are a way for us to
1431s	influence the individual monolith
1433s	Echo um
1437s	[Music]
1448s	kind of I think I can technically answer
1450s	no to
1460s	that oh I'm being told what they
1462s	actually would I was think you're the
1463s	wrong thing definitely no
1470s	I was thinking of something else
1476s	whoops all right uh last week you said
1479s	you had said we were getting some new
1480s	supporter packs will these have skill
1483s	MTX in them interesting question I don't
1486s	actually know if they'll have SK skill
1487s	MTX in them or
1490s	not uh I don't I'd be pretty surprised
1493s	if they did because skill MTX is so
1494s	narrow um that when we're doing a bundle
1496s	pack like that we usually want them to
1498s	have
1500s	um we usually want them to have broad
1503s	things uh yeah Kane and
1508s	the
1511s	uh if if if we did skill ntx or
1514s	something like that it would be it's
1516s	really narrow because
1519s	like even if you do something that's
1521s	generic like even if you do Fireball um
1523s	a very small percentage of Mages are
1525s	even playing Fireball uh so I I I doubt
1529s	that's the sort of thing we'd put in a
1530s	bundle pack um if we were going to do
1533s	that sort of
1536s	thing vague answer is vague but I don't
1539s	think
1541s	so all
1544s	right
1546s	uh will there be a way for cof players
1549s	to focus even more prophecies like
1552s	deciding bases are very rare prophecies
1554s	with LP2 plus uniques um having having
1557s	the the fixed LP amount on things is uh
1563s	it's a very dangerous game for us to
1565s	play um because the relative Rarity of
1569s	um of of LP on different unique base
1573s	types uh I think that there's that there
1576s	are changes to coff coming that will
1578s	allow for a little bit better control
1585s	um but I can't go any details yet sorry
1588s	all right Mike will you be kind and give
1591s	us a season 3 skeleton give us in season
1595s	3 skeletons to summon that two-handed
1596s	melee warlocks that that is equipped
1599s	with the spine of uh melatos
1603s	visually uh oh like like get the
1605s	skeleton wants the wants the wants the
1607s	sword to have ah I see that would be
1610s	cool
1612s	um I mean we can probably do it you so
1615s	usually the items like that um we make
1619s	them a little bit more uh
1621s	like a little bit heavier as far as uh
1624s	like visual weight visual
1627s	uh
1629s	quality
1633s	um but yeah I I feel like that's
1635s	something we could do I don't
1638s	know I'd be almost interested in doing
1640s	that as like a potential skill MTX thing
1650s	like
1652s	uh I I don't want to say like oh this is
1655s	a great idea we totally can't do
1662s	that okay the the the the thing we can't
1664s	do that I would love to that I'm sorry
1666s	I'm even going to say it because we
1668s	can't do it is is some sort of thing
1669s	where it was like whatever weapon you
1671s	have equipped your skeleton summon
1673s	equipped with
1675s	visually um but there's already so much
1678s	confusion about like what stats transfer
1680s	that having it visually would
1682s	be uh
1685s	tricky I do think it would be cool
1687s	though no
1695s	Aaron it's all
1699s	right would be really cool
1701s	though or or or another random idea that
1704s	we can't do
1705s	probably is just have them equip with
1708s	like a Rand random weapon a random
1709s	unique weapon so they like they all show
1711s	like the whole Army has different
1712s	weapons that would look really cool you
1714s	can't do
1718s	it all
1721s	right uh is there any plans to be able
1725s	to alter monoliths as in we will be a
1727s	ever able to customize them as far as
1729s	controlling the types of enemies that
1730s	can spawn inside the monolith say I want
1732s	a ton of Elites or whatever will that be
1734s	possible yes that is the sort of thing
1737s	that I think would be really cool to do
1738s	do
1740s	um specifics I think we would probably
1743s	do it as like a a thing where you could
1746s	decide like oh this type of enemy will
1747s	spawn more frequently um and it would be
1751s	less like hey this this specific Echo is
1755s	going to
1756s	have like 50 Elites in it and more so I
1761s	we could do something like that too
1762s	actually but I I think it' be more so in
1763s	the sense of like Elite more Elites will
1765s	spawn in general
1772s	I think we're having an earthquake right
1785s	now okay yeah oh there's definitely an
1787s	earthquake happening
1790s	wow that was
1796s	wild cane you feel that I felt
1802s	it ah it was cool I don't if that showed
1805s	up on camera but like the house shook
1808s	quite a
1818s	[Laughter]
1821s	lot could could you was the did the
1823s	camera Shake did you see it
1831s	that was sweet all right
1837s	um I don't even know what I was
1841s	doing again let me know how that uh if I
1843s	need to go hide or
1845s	something nothing's going to follow me I
1847s	think we're
1849s	fine all
1851s	right the light that's above me though
1854s	we we like all the lights in this place
1857s	when we moved in were like not secured
1859s	properly so we had to like take them all
1861s	down secure them one of them was like
1863s	sparking inside the box that it was
1866s	crazy anyways uh moving
1873s	on apparently the apparently the
1875s	emergency alert is actually telling me
1877s	to to Duck and Cover right now I think
1879s	we're
1880s	okay uh moving on next question not sure
1884s	if you're familiar with couch Co-op yeah
1886s	I love couch Co-op um in D4 mp2
1889s	controllers only
1891s	oh mik not pay attention my God is but
1895s	hand
1896s	to 44 damage killing low oo um we we'll
1901s	get something up for you guys here uh
1904s	can couch Co-op poe2 implements a very
1907s	good couch Co-op
1909s	feature any plans or has there ever been
1911s	talked to implement a similar feature in
1912s	the future we've we've talked about
1914s	trying to do coach Co-op couch Co-op a
1916s	few times um and I think this is one of
1918s	those things that like uh building it in
1920s	your own engine has a lot of really good
1923s	stuff for making it a lot of a lot of
1925s	tools for that make it a lot easier sort
1926s	of thing um there's tons of great couch
1929s	C Games main Unity so I'm not saying
1930s	that's like a blocker or anything like
1931s	that but um I know there's been a few
1934s	things we're like that's going to be
1936s	really hard to do because these other
1938s	things anyways um I it's not coming in
1941s	season 2 I'll tell you that for sure it
1943s	is the sort of thing that I would love
1944s	to get in the game and like the idea of
1947s	being able to like sit down and play
1949s	this with my wife on the on the couch in
1951s	the living room yes that's amazing um so
1956s	you know personally I would love to do
1958s	that I we don't have any plans I'm
1962s	sorry all right can you provide some
1964s	info if we will ever fight atera and or
1967s	orbus because they're the main Gods
1969s	right um yeah I I think that's a very
1973s	reasonable
1974s	expectation and uh
1979s	almost just Stu my foot in my mouth
1981s	again but
1982s	like yeah yes I think that's
1986s	reasonable
1989s	oh not about something coming up but
1991s	just like I made an accidental jab at
1994s	another game last time someone asked me
1996s	a question like that and I almost did it
1997s	again by mistake but I sto myself um all
2002s	right in season two would' be able to
2005s	fight the harbingers just like aberoth
2012s	uh the the way the way you interact with
2014s	the harbingers is not being dramatically
2017s	changed in season
2018s	2 uh good evening when we get a merch
2021s	store will will we be able to pre-order
2022s	a backpack on launch I have no idea I
2025s	would love to I backpack sounds
2027s	fantastic backpacks are so tricky to get
2030s	right um I think part of the part of the
2032s	issue that I've heard about with the um
2034s	merch store in general is just getting
2036s	like really good quality products that
2037s	we're really happy with um like having
2040s	that value proposition of like how much
2042s	it's being sold for and uh what it does
2044s	and the quality that it is is really
2046s	important so that you're not just
2048s	getting a junky piece of merch that has
2051s	some branding on it it's actually
2052s	something that you want to wear or want
2054s	to use that sort of thing I think that's
2056s	really important I I think that's
2057s	probably one of the reasons it's been so
2059s	tough to get it off the ground is
2060s	finding that where it's uh where it
2063s	actually feels like it's we're happy
2064s	with that is probably it's probably what
2066s	I expect a large portion of the issues
2067s	are
2073s	I cannot do that all
2077s	right will oh else cool happen a weird
2081s	get a sub to
2086s	nightbot ah it's
2090s	funny how long is nightbot been subed
2093s	for is that something you can check
2099s	ah oh I missed everil as
2102s	well thank you very
2104s	much thank you very
2111s	much oh oh no Mike died but no spoiler
2115s	Riot you're right oh what a good wow
2118s	what is this world coming to okay okay
2121s	okay okay okay we'll do we'll we'll do a
2124s	good one we'll do a good one
2128s	here is here's little little little
2130s	teaser teaser
2134s	[Music]
2135s	do get a little better shot of it if you
2137s	want yeah um this
2141s	is possibly reminiscent of something you
2143s	saw last week that might indicate a
2145s	certain I don't know category of things
2159s	let's shove that down in the corner for
2161s	a
2170s	bit I don't know what it is but when
2172s	it's in when uh streamlabs is in the
2176s	like Studio mode where you can see like
2178s	two of them side by side being able to
2180s	like drag and resize items the like the
2182s	point that you can click on them to like
2184s	resize them to grab like their edges of
2185s	an object in the like preview window is
2188s	so messed up and I don't know how to fix
2190s	it and I know there's something I'm
2191s	doing wrong but it'll be like trying to
2194s	grab like the corner of something and
2195s	instead of like grabbing like the actual
2196s	corner of it you have to click like over
2198s	here and drag and it's like the corner
2199s	is over here it's frustrating anyways
2203s	moving
2204s	[Music]
2207s	on this is night bot's first sub sounds
2211s	great uh will there be any changes and
2214s	Buffs for some of the rarely used sub
2216s	skills such as tsunami and the mstom
2218s	tree um I would say so yes I don't know
2221s	about specifically tsunami but there are
2227s	uh probably some changes excuse me there
2229s	probably some changes to some things
2231s	like that but I don't have any specific
2232s	details on which
2234s	ones there's a lot there's so many
2236s	little changes like I I I read through
2239s	the patch notes every time this happens
2240s	every time and especially now cuz
2242s	there's like been such a huge gap here
2244s	and I've been working on next season
2245s	stuff a lot and not not this season
2247s	stuff and it's um it's like I I'll see
2251s	read the patch notes and I'm like I had
2252s	no idea we were working on that or or I
2255s	completely forgot we did that months
2259s	ago and they're just things that you
2262s	well like cuz I I only play a little bit
2264s	on the live version now because just
2266s	what you see on stream so right now I've
2267s	basically been playing um since the
2270s	since the refresh basically just Lich
2272s	and spellblade and so I I don't even
2274s	remember the differences for what like
2276s	difference on Rogue is between um like
2279s	live
2280s	and now in the development cycle that
2283s	much cuz it's just the development cycle
2286s	stuff is is all the their
2289s	hits that's a that's a nice hit
2294s	ignite Ignite Me getting the dot stuff
2297s	it's cool little hitch when they're
2300s	spawning it's specifically the poison
2302s	one for me though
2304s	interesting my
2308s	all
2314s	right uh how come you are not launching
2316s	season to start on Friday instead
2319s	of uh
2322s	midweek I don't know the why the exact
2324s	day is the exact day I assume it's
2327s	likely so that we have some time before
2329s	the weekend um where we're all in the
2331s	office and we can you know put out any
2333s	fires if there are any that sort of
2334s	thing that's usually why we why we
2336s	launch it midweek
2345s	uh is there any plans of a sale for the
2347s	game I've introduced the game to friends
2348s	to a friend and he is interested but he
2350s	wanted to wait for a better price I
2352s	don't think we have any scheduled sales
2354s	coming up um but we do you know every
2357s	once in a while we put the game on sale
2359s	um I feel like we had one very
2362s	recently like I feel like it like just
2364s	ended or
2366s	something not
2368s	[Applause]
2371s	[Music]
2373s	sure yeah I don't I don't I don't know I
2376s	I also don't always get told when the
2378s	patches are when there are any sails
2379s	coming up so I I don't know
2384s	sorry and he plans for making enemies
2387s	immune for specific type of damage
2390s	um completely immune no um situations
2396s	where maybe they're temp temporarily
2398s	immune or they have immunities that
2400s	shift or you know things like that yeah
2403s	something like mechanics that can be
2404s	played around and interacted with like
2406s	they're immune until you do something
2408s	but just like if you're I don't know if
2410s	you ever had this experience where
2411s	you're like a pure Fireball Mage or fire
2415s	sork um and
2420s	you uh you like you you you're in D2
2422s	your fire sorc and you get into hell for
2424s	the first time uh and you walk out into
2427s	blood Moore and you're like I literally
2429s	can't kill half the enemies here it's
2430s	just impossible every fallen in the game
2432s	is suddenly impossible to kill uh and
2437s	and you kind of have to go back to the
2438s	drawing board and they've done a lot to
2441s	like with the sun charms recently to to
2442s	make that issue kind of go away a bit
2446s	and
2448s	um so we're we're not really interested
2450s	in in running into that issue because
2452s	having a specific but but but at the
2455s	same time right now there's not a lot of
2457s	differences in the damage type based on
2459s	the enemies you're fighting um and so we
2461s	there are things we're doing to add in
2463s	some more um Variety in uh like if
2466s	you're a pure fire build uh there's
2468s	certain things you're going to be able
2469s	to do a lot better and certain things
2470s	you're going be able to do a lot worse
2472s	because you're like a pure single
2474s	element build having having some sort of
2476s	downside to that is I think important um
2479s	and and upside in certain situations but
2481s	having uh having ways to play around
2483s	that is also really important so
2485s	absolute full heart immunities for
2487s	enemies for the entire that enemy
2490s	exists
2492s	no
2497s	um more things around that yeah yeah all
2502s	right will you do something similar to
2504s	release with hype weak also do you plan
2505s	to do more marketing yes we're do lots
2507s	more marketing um especially compared to
2511s	uh 1.1 we'll see more close more similar
2513s	to 1.0 levels of marketing uh because
2517s	this is a huge huge release for
2519s	us uh any thoughts on Wy movement yes I
2522s	have lots of thoughts on Wy movement if
2524s	I going to summarize them I would say
2526s	that that is a um a
2529s	very uh very popular thing right now
2533s	that uh I I feel like we are would be
2538s	crazy to ignore um personally I can't do
2543s	it I tried so many times and it just my
2546s	brain can't do it
2548s	for for an arpg I like i' I've tried it
2550s	in every arpg that has it um I shouldn't
2553s	say every almost every arpg that has it
2556s	I feel like I probably missed one but
2560s	uh I I like I just can't do it i' like
2563s	I've tried our our our test version of
2565s	it um and I just can't do it there's
2569s	something in my brain so personally it's
2570s	not for me um but that doesn't mean it's
2572s	not for lots of other people and uh i'
2576s	I'd love to have a really great version
2577s	of it for everyone to try um I I don't
2581s	have any specific details on if that's
2584s	ever coming when that's ever coming any
2586s	of that stuff
2595s	yet all
2606s	right oh come on
2610s	I I will say the work we've done with
2611s	with controller targeting has helped it
2613s	a lot
2614s	though uh will there be any
2616s	optimizations for lowend PCs my old uh
2619s	my old PC runs uh D4 okay but struggles
2622s	with Le I feel like they should be
2623s	evenly matched um yeah I mean we're
2625s	we're constantly working on improving
2627s	the the performance of the game that's a
2629s	huge huge important thing to us um at
2632s	all levels of of the the the PC quality
2635s	Spectrum um you know right down to
2637s	getting to work on on mobile devices
2639s	like like steam deck and things like
2640s	that it's it is very important for us to
2642s	have a high quality and high highly
2644s	performant game um and yes we are
2647s	definitely working on those
2650s	things you know sometimes it's just like
2652s	random little things like um like tiny
2656s	tiny little things that will have uh
2659s	that will reduce the the frame time in
2660s	very specific situations of skill
2662s	combinations by uh a fraction of a of a
2666s	second and and um you you do that 20,000
2671s	times and you get an extra frame out of
2673s	it you know
2676s	um and and every frame counts big
2685s	time
2687s	oh
2689s	oh oh ow oh it's it's always
2693s	Avalanche this part of the game I feel
2695s	like I need to come with like eight
2696s	extra teasers ready to go just just for
2701s	Avalanche Avalanche the classic
2704s	yep okay you know what we're we're going
2706s	to do uh we're going do one teaser for
2709s	this fight uh cuz I'm going to die
2711s	another dozen times
2716s	here
2719s	y it still only counts as one
2729s	come on yes out of the Avalanche I'm
2732s	learning I'm
2746s	learning come on I have no potions left
2758s	I
2767s	canot I triggered it triggered the ward
2770s	get
2771s	out see I really like Ward uh the the
2775s	ward Health in a fight like this where
2777s	there is two and flipping your DPS back
2780s	and forth when when one of them is Ward
2782s	up is actually like a tactic thing you
2784s	can do a I got talking got cocky and I
2788s	got taken still only counts as
2793s	one the fight doesn't reset doesn't
2804s	count should I should have been focusing
2806s	this one first
2830s	all right for
2832s	me we got
2836s	there oh seems like a good one to do for
2839s	this
2840s	now ooh ooh what's this oh my goodness
2845s	what's this that might look familiar the
2848s	the general
2853s	shape all right uh hi Mike any plans on
2856s	making story
2858s	versions of Pinnacle bosses the game
2860s	currently nudges the player into abro at
2862s	corruption 300 but a build that can
2864s	clear C300 slower is not going to be
2866s	anywhere near require parallel for aboth
2868s	so the difficulty curve becomes a
2870s	difficulty Cliff for weaker masteries
2872s	and
2873s	skills um I don't think we plans to
2875s	bring like aboth have like an easy
2878s	aberoth um I do think we have plans for
2882s	more fixed difficulty tier bosses in uh
2888s	leading up to aboth so like like other
2890s	enemies that you'll fight other other
2892s	bosses that are more of a like yeah like
2895s	a fixed difficulty boss is so like the
2899s	reason I'm saying fixed difficulty is
2900s	not really Pinnacle um but because it's
2903s	not really at the top of the food chain
2908s	um but that style of boss fight yeah I
2910s	think there's there's definitely room
2911s	for for a like a special event to access
2915s	a boss fight uh type
2923s	thing uh at like lower difficulties than
2925s	aboth
2927s	is thanks
2934s	Kan I don't know what you're talking
2936s	about
2940s	all
2942s	[Music]
2943s	right uh think it's a repeat question
2946s	are spec requirements stay the same for
2949s	season 2 I hope it will not need a new
2951s	laptop yes uh the the requ system
2954s	requirements will not be going down when
2956s	season 2
2957s	starts uh or or up sorry yeah like the
2960s	the system requirements will stay the
2962s	same for I the question system
2964s	requirements are not
2965s	changing uh for season
2976s	2 uh Sentinel war path skill is there a
2979s	chance it'll be like main damage skill
2980s	instead of just a generator skill um
2989s	yeah feel people love triggering
2991s	abilities and it's one of those things
2993s	people love to trigger abilities with
2995s	and triggering abilities is very strong
2997s	and so having anything that can trigger
2998s	abilities with it is going to be very
3000s	difficult to compete with
3003s	like unless you put something on that
3005s	it's like more damage if you haven't
3006s	triggered an ability recently uh sort of
3012s	thing which we're not doing but uh yeah
3016s	uh there are there are war path changes
3018s	coming down the
3020s	pipe uh there there's changes all over
3023s	senel so yeah uh will we be getting an
3026s	any Ultra r uniques that can be used
3028s	across just about any build similar to
3030s	Sho or shako depending on how you
3032s	pronounce it um also uh we we tend to
3035s	steer clear those generally but we do
3037s	have a few of them in the game also will
3039s	we be getting any skill mtxs or pet mtxs
3042s	I'm sorry for the multi question
3043s	absolutely D ell and can't wait for
3044s	season 2 Mike keep up the weight loss
3046s	brother thank you very much
3051s	um
3055s	uh oh come on
3058s	uh what are we doing here I'm answering
3060s	questions aren't they um we we tend to
3062s	steer clear of the like the generically
3064s	awesome uniques um cuz I mean you you
3068s	people post I don't know if you pay
3069s	attention um if you spend any time on
3071s	the subreddit uh there's there's tons of
3074s	posts of rare items like specifically
3078s	usually like um like circlets or pelts
3082s	um and it's sort of like the the like
3085s	there lots of times there's a debate on
3087s	is this good or not and there's a lot of
3088s	answers that are like this is Godly or
3090s	this is nothing and um a lot of times
3094s	that the question is just is it better
3096s	than Sho or not and it's kind of
3099s	uh I I think it's kind of one of those
3101s	Almost Boring things to have in the game
3103s	like because it's so universally
3106s	amazing um it's very difficult to have
3111s	an item that's better than it for like
3115s	most builds it's sort of like you're
3119s	you're using Sho in 99% of builds unless
3123s	you're at the absolute very tip top of
3125s	most of them that have some sort of like
3127s	okay this is slightly better than Sho if
3129s	you change these other four items as
3130s	well type thing and it's
3132s	like I don't know if that's a great
3135s	place to be in
3138s	um and something we've avoided in
3140s	general but we do put some of them
3143s	in I can't say we're planning on adding
3146s	any more
3154s	[Music]
3155s	red ring is probably the biggest version
3157s	of that right
3159s	now omns yeah all right uh hello there
3164s	usual question are you planning to come
3167s	back with Mascus mode instead of shoes
3170s	nope uh anyways thanks for bringing it
3172s	back since
3173s	release uh keep up the great work guys
3176s	hopefully hype is slowly pumping up yeah
3178s	hype is slowly pumping up oh time these
3181s	are questions time stamp at 1:15 so we
3183s	are little bit behind here Master Sword
3187s	another 46 month sub my
3191s	goodness
3192s	wow that's 2 46ers right there that's
3196s	like that's that's I think the cuz the
3198s	two of you yeah I'm pretty sure that's
3199s	the how long we've been streaming for
3201s	that's wild two more months and that's
3203s	four years
3209s	we got to do something for
3211s	that that's going to be right around
3214s	right around patch
3216s	too that's really cool I don't know I
3218s	don't know if we can do something for
3219s	that but I'd love
3220s	to anyways uh has there been any thought
3224s	given the changing the market system to
3226s	use other currencies instead of gold for
3228s	trade somewh a Poe um we don't have any
3231s	plans for that we've given huge amounts
3233s	of thought to it yes massive massive
3236s	amounts of thought thought to
3239s	it it's always tricky I see a lot of
3241s	questions like have you given any
3242s	thought to this and almost every single
3246s	time the answer is yes we spent like
3249s	there's a dozen hourong meetings I've be
3251s	in about that exact topic
3255s	um and uh but so yeah yes we've spent a
3259s	lot of time thinking about
3262s	it and usually what that means is we
3265s	spent a ton of time thinking about it
3266s	we're not doing
3270s	all right aha I've been playing off and
3274s	on and I've really enjoyed poison Lich
3276s	but it hasn't really changed much is
3277s	there anything next patch I mean there's
3280s	something in every patch for every class
3283s	um poison Lich specifically nothing off
3286s	the top of my head that's really jumping
3288s	out
3292s	um where we
3294s	going let's go here turn a quick
3300s	um think there might be an item that
3302s	interacts nicely with
3308s	that uh any chance we can get a void
3310s	chaos Caster of some kind
3314s	yeah think that' be
3316s	sweet uh there's none in season 2
3321s	yes more idle
3324s	slots here we go Frost wall super
3330s	useful all right are you using scrum
3335s	process I just wondered if you plan to
3337s	be more active with updates after season
3338s	2 or if we'll start waiting for new
3341s	season for new stuff um we do use a
3344s	scrum uh yeah we use a scrum process
3346s	it's not officially scrum uh but
3350s	it's vaguely
3353s	scrum I guess you could say um
3360s	but yeah we we we we've heard very loud
3362s	and clear from our community that 9
3363s	months was too
3364s	long
3366s	uh far far far too
3372s	long I want I want to just go through
3374s	here and pull out a bunch of stuff cuz I
3375s	know there there's a bunch of stuff I
3376s	can use in
3377s	here
3379s	um any legendaries that are pre-made
3381s	that I can just slap
3383s	on that' be really good right now
3390s	uh probably not anything jumping out of
3393s	me
3403s	here I mean I know there's lots of stuff
3407s	but go through and look at everything
3418s	feel like there's a weapon in here
3419s	that's just so much better that I'm just
3424s	ignoring we'll do it later we'll do it
3426s	later I see we're just going to keep
3431s	going s the Shop's boring
3434s	right uh is minion resummoning getting
3436s	changed or you will you have to keep
3437s	summoning each one after death um we
3440s	don't have like an auto summoning system
3443s	uh in in the works right now
3448s	where am I
3452s	going uh like basically you're wondering
3454s	are we going to copy uh poe2 skeletons
3457s	uh we don't have anything like that
3459s	coming for season 2 um all right hi Mike
3462s	Ray Spectre is my favorite ability in
3464s	pee1 would you want to add a similar
3466s	ability in the future of the game it's
3467s	so tricky to just like to take things
3469s	and be like okay like let's let's slap
3472s	this in and see see how it goes um
3480s	we I'd say there's a possibility of us
3485s	doing our own twist on things like that
3488s	um but just a straight hey that would
3490s	work great let's slap it in probably
3495s	not um you partially because so our
3498s	skill systems while there are very
3500s	there's a lot of similarities between
3501s	them and how you can customize them on
3503s	all that sort of stuff the abilities
3504s	have to be like the base abilities have
3506s	to to be um like interesting and unique
3511s	enough to stand on their
3513s	own and like exciting enough to to be
3517s	like hey I want to take that and build
3518s	around it maybe let's see let's exciting
3520s	enough to say like hey what's in this
3522s	let me go look and see what these nodes
3523s	do and then enough possibilities and
3525s	where we can take the ability with the
3527s	nodes uh that it
3530s	is uh interesting changes that are not
3534s	just copypaste of another abilities
3535s	interesting changes so um if the biggest
3539s	thing about an a skill that makes it
3541s	unique is just that it looks a little
3542s	different than another specific skill um
3545s	we usually won't put it
3547s	in so if we have something that
3549s	functions similarly but just looks
3551s	different it's probably more of a skill
3552s	MTX than a new skill
3556s	opportunity all right heik will there be
3558s	an upgrade to Graphics in terms of UPS
3560s	skill resolution on Textures the
3562s	lighting and design of the game are
3563s	gorgeous but the character models and
3564s	NPCs are very low resolution even on
3566s	Ultra quality
3568s	um I don't know is the short answer to
3571s	this one um that is the sort of style of
3574s	thing that I think would be give us
3576s	opportunities to improve the quality of
3577s	the visuals without having to change
3582s	much so people who know a lot more about
3584s	that than I do are probably looking into
3586s	it or already have plans for it or have
3588s	already ruled it out one of those three
3593s	things or some combination there in
3600s	all right how long do you think it will
3603s	take the whole campaign until the whole
3605s	campaign is out I would love to know the
3606s	story I don't know it could be it that's
3608s	tricky because I feel like the um
3612s	exactly what gets put into the campaign
3615s	before it's declared finished isn't
3618s	really probably fully finalized right
3620s	now be my guess
3629s	soing my
3631s	as come
3633s	on we burst this
3636s	down
3638s	nope my
3645s	as
3648s	sickening
3651s	my all
3654s	right is is it possible uh is this
3658s	possible the ability to spawn a boss or
3665s	Monster see I'm going out of my way to
3668s	try and get you guys spoilers look at
3669s	that try but I'm just I'm just
3672s	instinctually too
3677s	good yeah that's what we call getting
3679s	lucky is this coming through
3681s	still oh yeah I just scrolled okay the
3685s	the audio pickup this the senses that
3687s	the levels was just like not there but
3688s	it was scrolled down it's
3694s	fine the ability to spawn a boss or
3696s	Monster and check your DPS on said
3698s	monster without having to fight it and
3700s	or the ability to register on what of
3703s	what each of your attacks are dpsing
3705s	meaning the ability to tell which skill
3706s	is putting out the most DPS no we do not
3708s	have any uh is this possible yes it is
3710s	technically possible that we could do
3712s	this um it is technically possible that
3715s	we might have have this functionality
3717s	internally already
3719s	um we we don't have any plans to
3721s	implement this in the
3723s	game uh any Nerfs to Tundra stalker
3727s	incoming I don't have any specific
3729s	details on Buffer Nerfs that I can show
3731s	right now um I do know that's a
3734s	frustrating
3735s	one skill Cosmetics
3740s	maybe
3743s	maybe pretty cool wouldn't it uh will
3746s	chronomancer JRA be less chaotic with
3749s	how she uses her attacks and have a
3750s	definite pattern to attacks to be able
3752s	to fight her more effectively um so so
3756s	she actually uses the same AI that
3757s	everything else uses
3760s	um
3763s	and uh it's a little tricky to map but
3767s	uh they does actually have a specific
3769s	pattern um and you can control it with
3771s	specific actions so there's certain
3773s	abilities um every ability in in an AI
3777s	in in the the enemy
3778s	AI has uh has a bunch of things to
3781s	determine if it can what what it can use
3783s	and if it can if it can use things what
3785s	it can use when it uses it all these
3786s	sorts of things um and it's based off of
3790s	the cooldown of that individual ability
3792s	the hierarchy uh priority order of those
3795s	abilities and uh the range that you are
3799s	from the target so uh what it does is it
3802s	it's got a list of a priority list and
3804s	it goes all right uh first one is this
3807s	off cool down yes great let's try and
3810s	use it is there a Target in range that I
3813s	can that I can cast this at cuz each
3815s	ability has its own ranges um and so
3818s	it'll be like okay well you've got an
3820s	enemy that's in range it's off cool down
3822s	use it great simple as that um if
3825s	there's like no enemy in range um or
3828s	it's on coold down it'll go to the next
3830s	ability and be like hey can I use this
3831s	ability
3833s	now um and so like in between ability
3838s	uses it'll have a consistent cool down
3841s	for each ability um and it won't always
3844s	be the exact same interval necessarily
3847s	because sometimes the ability that it is
3851s	um they'll be they'll be like an ability
3855s	can be low on the priority list and have
3857s	a long cool down which means that it
3859s	sometimes has to um find a window where
3863s	other things are all on cool down before
3865s	it'll actually use it so usually the
3866s	lowest thing on the priority list is
3868s	just like basic attack so it always has
3870s	something to do and the highest thing on
3871s	the priority list is usually something
3873s	with a long cool down and then uh
3875s	abilities can also start on cool down so
3877s	even if something is like the highest
3878s	priority and maybe has a 30- second cool
3880s	down and it starts at 15 second cool
3882s	down so the first time it waits 15
3883s	seconds to use it and then it waits 30
3885s	seconds in between each use and so like
3887s	it can there's a lot of different ways
3889s	we can adjust how um the order of things
3892s	happens and it can sometimes look kind
3893s	of weird uh and and feel like it's
3896s	random or something like that but it's
3898s	not it's pretty deterministic
3903s	actually whoa this
3905s	hurts I cannot do that see resists coal
3910s	damage this the sort of thing that I
3916s	like uh any plans for getting higher
3918s	corruption quicker uh there are some
3921s	adjustments to that not I wouldn't say
3924s	massively
3930s	but but a little bit there's some
3932s	there's some adjustments in how that
3938s	works uh more oh yeah I died didn't I
3941s	that means I'm suppos I'm supposed to do
3944s	something right what is
3947s	it h
3953s	[Music]
3962s	getting so many messages from people
3963s	about that
3965s	earthquake
3967s	wild uh yeah if you just a reiteration
3969s	if you do have a question you'd like me
3971s	to answer please put at last epot game
3973s	uh in the in the question to make sure
3975s	we see it that we put it into a list
3976s	I've got uh Kane's pulling out questions
3978s	from twitch chat and YouTube chat that
3980s	uh I'm seeing on a different screen that
3982s	I'm answering them all in the order they
3983s	came in I know I'm a little bit behind
3984s	see how far behind I am okay I know I'm
3986s	a lot behind and I will be answering
3988s	them as fast as I can here let's let's
3990s	do let's let's put up a teaser and do a
3993s	little rapid
3997s	fire here's
4000s	one leave that on screen too there you
4002s	go there's a double on there oh what's
4004s	that looks kind of like something else
4006s	since other style we've seen recently uh
4008s	all right are the original packs going
4010s	with season 2 or just season one packs
4012s	uh I believe I double check this I think
4016s	we'll have a specific announcement on
4017s	this so it's all in writing so it's
4018s	clear but my understanding is that the
4022s	uh current supporter packs are all
4026s	going um but the editions are staying so
4030s	like the the the the deluxe edition and
4031s	the ultimate edition those are staying
4033s	but the supporter packs are going and
4036s	they're going slightly after the release
4037s	of season 2 so that there is a little
4039s	bit of overlap I think is what's
4041s	happening but we'll have a clear text
4043s	post that actually outlines that
4044s	specifically so it's it is Cle clear and
4046s	it's not just me being like I think this
4047s	is what it is uh all right could you
4050s	have something Dodge specific or a
4053s	portal to use moment uh movement ability
4056s	you could have something dodg specific
4058s	or a portal to use movement ability uh
4061s	oh MTX stuff
4063s	yes yes uh there will be uh yeah cosmet
4066s	like there's there's portal Cosmetics um
4069s	evade Cosmetics is totally possible
4072s	um I don't think we have it I don't if
4074s	we have any it's it's something we can't
4076s	do evade the way the ability evade works
4078s	I'm assume this mean by Dodge um this
4082s	evade ability it literally is just an
4084s	ability like in in our testing thing you
4086s	can equip it onto your slots in in the
4087s	testing environment like it's just
4089s	straight up an
4090s	ability uh yeah it actually counts as
4093s	using an
4094s	ability I wonder if if it works for
4099s	flow there's also five of them there's
4101s	five different technical um like there
4103s	are five different abilities called
4105s	evade they all have the exact same stats
4107s	and everything but they are five
4107s	different abilities one for each a base
4110s	class uh when are you giving ELD eldrich
4112s	blast to warlock ah yes I too recently
4115s	played Ballers Gate 3
4118s	um uh it it has it has that in um not
4124s	not like straight up Eldridge blast but
4125s	I think there's very similar
4127s	effects somewhere isn't there feel like
4130s	we have something that we're like that's
4131s	really similar looking in feeling but
4133s	it's not the just like
4136s	the D and D version of it yeah uh about
4139s	consoles PS5 Xbox series um it's
4142s	possible I don't have any specific
4143s	details we'd love to do it um that's a
4147s	that's a maybe hopefully someday future
4149s	we'll
4151s	see uh yes I'm playing with that up on
4163s	screen we go
4166s	uh do you have some of the season 3
4167s	content done yet there's there's there's
4170s	work that is being put in on on on
4172s	season 3 stuff
4175s	yes um but like completed features no if
4179s	if it was a completed feature it would
4180s	just be going in season
4184s	2 and and and there's even some yeah
4187s	there's even some things that we had
4188s	slated for features in season 3 that
4190s	were like oh we need something to go in
4192s	here in season 2 oh just grab that so
4194s	yeah there's there's things there's a
4195s	couple things we
4201s	pulled uh any changes for the arena in
4204s	the plans yeah yeah there are
4208s	um there
4210s	are uh there's there's some like quality
4212s	of life stuff in the arena there's and
4214s	people that that's not like enough and
4216s	they just really don't like that style
4218s	of um that that style of content at all
4221s	uh there's ways you can customize which
4223s	content you're interacting with a lot
4224s	better now too um um so yeah there's
4227s	there's there's some stuff uh for arena
4229s	lovers and Arena haters and hopefully we
4231s	can convert some of the latter to the
4234s	former all right hey uh can Mike even
4238s	see YouTube chat I can't see YouTube
4239s	chat directly right now no I'm sorry it
4241s	only shows me the twitch chat um but uh
4244s	Kane uh is um is pulling questions from
4247s	both so if you do have a uh a a a
4250s	question and you're watching on YouTube
4252s	please ask it I'm I'm barely looking at
4254s	twitch chat either so
4256s	it's almost no different
4261s	um I'm I'm not looking at chat directly
4263s	for questions for either of them they're
4265s	get they're all getting funneled to
4267s	me so feel free to ask your questions on
4270s	both happy Dan them uh why was the
4274s	decision made to not let new forg guard
4277s	passive to hold two-handers and not
4279s	one-handers and and one uh two handers
4283s	in one hand not count for staves um a
4286s	lot of it a lot of it has to do with
4287s	theming um you know the staves are not
4291s	really a forge guard primary weapon so
4293s	the the weapons that are able to be
4295s	wielded in the two-handed weapons that
4296s	are able to be wielded with a shield at
4298s	the same time are thematically
4299s	appropriate for the
4300s	for basically
4305s	it I cannot do that yes Mike good idea
4309s	let's bite off more than we can chew
4311s	when there's Avalanches rolling
4313s	around so smart
4316s	so smart can't even handle the brains on
4319s	this
4321s	one no zombie starve around me
4325s	okay uh with some RPGs out there not
4329s	going to say name names or anything
4330s	cough D4
4331s	cough it's fine to talk about their apgs
4334s	for the record uh doing cross promos
4336s	with other games uh is it possibility to
4339s	see another Games characters or
4341s	something being brought into the game
4343s	whether as an ntx NPC or even playable
4345s	character I mean if if there's another
4348s	game that wants to do a crossover with
4350s	us I I I'd personally be very interested
4353s	in that
4354s	um I don't think we have any plans right
4357s	now for it but like I don't know I I
4359s	think that sort of stuff's really cool I
4360s	think there's a lot of really cool
4362s	crossovers that have been done in the
4363s	past
4365s	um I I'd love to I'd love to I think I
4367s	think I'd probably want to put it as an
4369s	ntx stuff the most but we've been pretty
4372s	intent on keeping things in Universe
4374s	this this backpack is the only um non-
4377s	diagetic thing in the game as far as I
4379s	know my face is right
4384s	there uh and other than that
4387s	everything's like in Universe Mak
4392s	sense all right but like you asked me if
4396s	I wanted to make last Epoch magic cards
4398s	I would say uh definitely don't look in
4401s	my closet because there's not a whole
4402s	bunch of them I swear
4407s	uh any plans for Unique stash Tab and I
4410s	mean
4411s	like yeah uh any plans fori stash daab I
4415s	feel like this should be mandatory for
4416s	every future airG um I this is something
4419s	that we'd love to incorporate it's
4420s	something that I can see us uh tackling
4423s	in the future it's not something we have
4424s	ready for for season 2
4427s	um but we do have some new tech that
4430s	we're employing for uh for one of the
4432s	functions in season 2 that will make
4435s	doing this sort of thing I think a lot
4437s	better um I think it's going to be I
4439s	think I think once we once you see that
4441s	you're going to be like why didn't you
4443s	just make a stash a unique stash daab
4445s	when you did this like it's going to be
4447s	even more frustrating that we didn't do
4448s	it yet after seeing this so um I I
4451s	really hope we do and uh I I know
4454s	there's been there's there's so many Fe
4455s	there's so many features that there's so
4456s	many us that are like oh we should do
4457s	this and everyone's like yeah it sounds
4459s	great where does it go on the list
4466s	all right could we eventually have
4468s	either a skill node conversion unique
4471s	item or MTX to change the Falcon's color
4477s	Yes
4479s	y for example turn a green for version
4482s	that convert damage to poison and
4483s	throwing acid blast yeah I think I think
4485s	that's fantastic there's
4487s	um I I don't think we have I I think
4490s	you'll see
4491s	likely uh
4495s	I cannot do that I
4498s	think if we were ever I I I don't know
4501s	what's I don't think any of these things
4503s	are coming in season 2 is the problem um
4506s	but I think hypothetically if we were
4507s	ever to do a at least if if it is I
4510s	haven't seen it but
4513s	um like a phoenix skin for the Falcon
4517s	would sell out instantly if it could
4518s	sell out you know so
4522s	um I think that's the sort of thing we'd
4524s	be crazy not to do
4532s	uh uh it'd be dope to see the Scorpion
4535s	throwing his spear screaming get over
4537s	here yeah
4539s	yeah that would be cool that would be
4541s	very
4542s	cool
4547s	um I don't we're we're we're pretty you
4551s	usually if you're going to do there's
4552s	going to be a crossover it's got to make
4553s	sense for both sides Ides to do it um a
4557s	lot of the stuff that people would love
4558s	to see crossovers for uh were a little
4561s	small for
4563s	them
4570s	yeah I don't understand why bows are
4573s	reserved for Rogues only aha I can
4575s	explain this
4576s	one cuz there is a
4579s	reason uh I would like to play a bow the
4581s	Spell blade or run Master yeah I I'd
4584s	really like to play a bow with the um
4586s	Beast Master that's what I want to play
4588s	about with the most
4590s	[Music]
4592s	um I'm still pushing for it don't
4599s	worry uh but basically the when we were
4602s	first starting to do when we were first
4604s	putting Rogues in uh we're like we have
4606s	to have bows we have to have bows and uh
4610s	like it came down
4614s	to have abilities that function with
4617s	bows
4619s	um there wasn't really any way to
4621s	quickly and smoothly incorporate bow
4624s	functionality into any other class um
4626s	there's like maybe a couple that you
4627s	could argue could be done with but it's
4629s	kind of clunky and um so because the
4633s	skills don't work with the bows the bow
4634s	would kind of have to come with the
4636s	skill if we were going to add it on to
4637s	any other classes and we didn't have the
4638s	ability to do that at the time we were
4640s	also under a pretty big animation crunch
4642s	for it at the time and um so having
4645s	just having a um the the extra
4649s	animations available for other Masters
4651s	was the the skill work the animation
4654s	work it was
4655s	just there wasn't enough payoff for how
4657s	much it would would cost us to actually
4659s	make function I in Devon design hours
4663s	so didn't get put in but I still believe
4665s	that it will happen eventually it's my
4667s	it's my belief it's my
4669s	goal um yeah uh when can we expect to
4674s	see oh I died didn't I I died I'm
4676s	supposed I'm supposed supposed to show
4678s	something for that aren't I just just
4679s	burning through
4687s	these okay okay I'm going to be real
4690s	careful cuz the next one I kind of
4691s	wanted to save for a little bit was one
4693s	more after
4695s	this down to my last two I'm being
4698s	apparently I should play less squishy
4701s	builds all right here we are let's
4703s	answer let's rap let's rapid fire some
4704s	questions out
4705s	uh can we expect to see a pure melee
4708s	build with fists or claws or Knuckles we
4710s	need some love on the melee class uh we
4712s	need uppercut people to the
4714s	Moon um I mean there's definitely pure
4717s	melee builds out there that exist that
4718s	function and are tons of fun so yeah you
4721s	can make them um and there's there's
4724s	definitely adjustments for melee stuff
4726s	adjustments for everything coming to to
4728s	do lots of cool new stuff um we would
4731s	love to add fist weapons as a thing as
4734s	well um
4735s	um but yeah season 2 I wouldn't say
4739s	there's there's not a a new melee class
4741s	coming or anything like that can we get
4743s	a pause button yeah oh my God I'd love
4744s	to do a pause button um we we don't have
4747s	the functionality for that in online yet
4750s	it works in offline but not online uh
4753s	now see I don't know much about the game
4754s	development at all but I wanted to ask
4756s	why exactly is she going so slow on
4758s	updates compared to other RPGs like Poe
4760s	a torch light infinite think you guys
4762s	are positioned pretty well with another
4763s	Powerhouse in the arpg industry and
4764s	provide players other airs in the season
4766s	cycle year round yeah um there there's a
4769s	lot that there's a reason why it's been
4772s	so long since another big update um we
4775s	pivoted pretty hard halfway through this
4777s	uh this this uh season um we
4781s	also the we there was some timings of
4784s	things we tried to dodge earlier on uh
4787s	that ended up being a bit of a
4789s	mistake
4791s	um you know it's like whenever we Dodge
4793s	something it gets moved whenever we
4794s	don't it gets moved into us
4798s	um so it's it's a little tricky in in
4801s	lining up the timings of things um and I
4804s	I like it's just unlucky like there's no
4808s	there's no uh Rhyme or Reason for really
4810s	those those timings lining up the way
4812s	they are but I'd say the frequencies
4814s	probably that the other teams are um
4817s	bigger and have been doing it for longer
4820s	um
4823s	yeah uh but yeah we we are working to
4826s	improve
4827s	that in the future will harbingers be
4830s	only fought in empowered monos opposed
4832s	to normal modos facing them in normal
4834s	modos was brutal
4836s	um I mean it should only happen in one
4839s	normal mono right as you're like this is
4841s	you're like I'm proving myself that I
4843s	can do empowered now
4845s	[Music]
4846s	um but that's not changing at the moment
4849s	uh any info on search tab improvements
4851s	for season 2 I don't think there's any
4854s	big changes for search searches in the T
4855s	stash tab right now but um that is
4857s	something that we're looking at uh do
4859s	you guys uh ever look for there's okay
4862s	there is some search stuff changing like
4866s	uh I can't even bring it up the in in
4868s	monolith timeline search is adding a
4869s	couple filters um that's not the strch
4872s	you're talking about I
4873s	know uh do you guys ever look for
4875s	designers who are more data focused
4878s	thank you
4879s	Kane uh who are more data focused and
4882s	not necessarily coders I've been keeping
4883s	an eye out but everything recently has
4885s	been roles that require heavy degrees of
4886s	coding experience um we don't have we do
4890s	have that that comes along every once in
4891s	a while part of the problem I'd say is
4893s	that
4896s	um it's there's a lot of value in being
4899s	able to like people who are the like
4901s	designers who who are like heavy in
4903s	design meetings and are doing just
4905s	design stuff having them have knowledge
4907s	of what's possible and how the game fits
4909s	together and like hey is uh if if we say
4913s	like oh I really want to do this effect
4915s	I want Fireball to be able to split and
4917s	have some of them home in on targets and
4919s	some of them uh Pierce and other ones do
4922s	this other thing and like oh is it
4924s	possible to even do that and and how
4925s	these things fit together and what's
4926s	going to be performant enough where an
4928s	idea you're like oh I really want this
4929s	idea to happen you're like well you just
4931s	can't do that because the performance it
4932s	would just cause the performance to tank
4933s	to the point we just can't do it and and
4935s	having this knowledge of how the game
4936s	functions under the hood a bit I think
4938s	makes people be a lot more effective in
4940s	the design um in their design roles as
4943s	well and so we we really
4945s	um basically everyone we even we've got
4949s	a couple people on the team that are
4950s	that don't do any implementation stuff
4953s	but so
4955s	few like like two maybe and even they
4961s	they they even get their hands dirty
4962s	with with certain things like um one of
4965s	them one of them does all of the
4969s	uh that's not what it is this thing one
4972s	of the one of the manag is this um so
4974s	it's not nothing you know and it's like
4978s	uh it's it's there's a ton of value in
4981s	having that that um that that coding
4983s	experience as well and getting into the
4985s	game engine that sort of
4988s	stuff but yeah it's not it's not never
4992s	rare though uh in the new future uh past
4995s	season 2 will Le get new class and your
4998s	new Mastery for existing classes are
4999s	both uh near future past season 2 no but
5003s	we are looking at those things
5006s	uh let me put this down in the
5012s	[Music]
5015s	corner so read
5017s	it that one there we
5022s	go
5027s	oh I'm a Brazilian back in De with 5
5030s	years experience wow um but I always
5033s	dreamed to become a game I'm uh
5035s	fascinated with balancing creating
5037s	systems skills my spare time uh I do
5039s	create mods for giving suggestions for
5042s	every game I play but my country does
5044s	not have
5045s	even uh does not die
5050s	again my country but my country does not
5053s	even have 10 small game companies to try
5056s	to enter also I do not have any Talent
5058s	on graphical stuff drawing modeling
5059s	charts Etc I only know how to code but I
5062s	do understand a lot about how games are
5064s	design can you help
5066s	me I can give you a little bit of advice
5069s	on things that work for me but I don't
5070s	have any um I will say my advice comes
5074s	with the with the the caveat or the
5075s	grain of salt that uh last Epoch is the
5078s	only like 11th Hour games in last Epoch
5079s	are the is the only game studio and game
5082s	I've ever worked on so I don't have uh a
5084s	large variety of experience
5087s	myself and the way that I found this uh
5091s	this this project I was going to say job
5094s	but it's like it's more than that but
5095s	yeah the way that I found this and got
5096s	involved is very
5099s	atypical um just the Reddit post
5104s	so the the the biggest piece of advice
5106s	that I can give people and what I think
5108s	helped a lot for me myself was having a
5111s	specific um game like a a specific
5116s	completed uh game so like like make
5118s	something make make a game have have a
5120s	finished project having um I know like
5123s	making mods and things like that having
5124s	having mods is fantastic but having
5126s	something where you can send you can
5128s	actually send an employer like here's a
5130s	game that I played here's a link here's
5131s	a steam link you can download it here's
5133s	a Google Drive link that you can just
5134s	download here's an itch.io link like
5136s	just having something where it's this is
5137s	a finished product that you that you've
5140s	you've signed off on and it's done and
5142s	it it doesn't have to be groundbreaking
5144s	or um
5147s	like anything amazing like I I I see so
5151s	many little projects where it's like um
5154s	a a Proto type or a vertical slice of a
5156s	game or something like that where it's
5157s	like where it outlines a really cool
5158s	mechanic and there's this really neat
5160s	thing that it's done in the coding
5161s	that's maybe really inspired and and
5163s	interesting and cool and all that sort
5164s	of stuff but it's not a finished game
5167s	and um i' I'd much rather I'd be much
5170s	more interested in seeing a um uh a
5177s	basic a basic game with like one cool
5181s	thing that it does not not even like
5184s	Revolution Ary or amazing or or
5186s	incredible and like but just just one
5188s	cool thing where you're like oh that's
5190s	that's cool that's
5192s	neat and and um and that's all it takes
5196s	it's just a finished a finished game you
5198s	know bird in the hands wereth two in the
5199s	bush well a a game on Steam is worth 50
5203s	on the development
5205s	floor
5207s	and um yeah I think that'll be the
5209s	biggest piece of advice is is just start
5211s	working on a on a game and finish it um
5216s	yeah the number of the number of
5217s	Unfinished projects I've got sitting
5219s	sitting on my computer right now is
5222s	embarrassing and I think it's very low
5224s	compared to what a lot of people
5230s	have
5232s	fools things that I swear one day I will
5236s	uh show the other developers and be like
5238s	okay here's something I've been working
5239s	on for like four years we're going to
5240s	add this into the game
5242s	now I cannot do that
5246s	anything
5249s	[Music]
5253s	[Applause]
5257s	cool come on can I just tank this let's
5260s	go Frozen steel
5265s	nope fren Steel
5276s	[Applause]
5278s	okay more questions in a
5282s	second what else is attacking
5285s	me I'm like these are not abilities that
5287s	this thing
5291s	has okay ly
5294s	Puck uh will we get options to increase
5297s	mob density and Echoes sometimes I feel
5299s	they're a little empty yeah um yes
5309s	all right any plans to scale uh
5311s	resistance in character sheet with
5313s	corruption no I have like 145% fire
5316s	resist but I die instantly to high
5317s	corruption monos yeah
5319s	um having uh having the resists
5323s	themselves
5324s	not um like go above that limit and and
5330s	not like punish you like not having the
5332s	negative resist that happen is pretty
5333s	important that like the negative resist
5334s	you have to compensate for
5338s	um
5342s	yeah in case you're in case you're
5344s	wondering you probably know this but
5346s	just on the off chance you
5348s	don't um resistances also have this
5350s	thing where uh every basically every
5354s	level Zone you are um up to 75 gives a
5360s	Post Cap negative one to all resist so
5363s	your resists at level 75 or or higher or
5366s	technically zero if you're capped on
5368s	everything um which means that which
5370s	sounds weird but um overcapping doesn't
5373s	affect this at all um the only thing
5375s	that overcapping helps with is getting
5377s	uh like Marked for Death and resistance
5382s	shred you're which is different than uh
5386s	the built-in
5387s	penetration who cares about that uh are
5390s	you happy with health potion system
5392s	overall very happy with the health
5393s	potion system I think think that the
5395s	health potions um we are addressing some
5397s	issues with it though in season 2
5400s	um like just adding more effects to it
5402s	to make it more interesting um we're
5404s	also increasing the rate that they scale
5407s	as you go as you level up and go through
5409s	the game
5410s	so uh endgame potions will be stronger
5413s	uh in the future they'll just heal for
5423s	more and there's new effects and stuff
5425s	but yeah yeah I really like it I think
5427s	it's I think it's an uh relatively
5429s	straightforward system with room
5432s	for
5433s	uh you know specializing in in it to to
5437s	like get cool effects and um make
5442s	your make your health potions
5444s	interesting mechanically if you want um
5447s	so I really like where they're at from a
5449s	systems design standpoint
5458s	I cannot do
5462s	that all
5464s	right oh yeah we're falling further
5467s	behind somehow I need to I need to stop
5469s	playing and start answering better uh
5472s	the major downsides of playing war path
5473s	void Knight on a controller is the
5474s	aiming positions for anomaly as your
5476s	character isn't always facing the
5477s	direction he's traveling as this been
5478s	addressed in season two yes fools fools
5481s	uh uh are you afraid that expect to
5484s	release of 0.2 poe2 will take players
5486s	attention away from last Epoch season 2
5488s	yes
5490s	um it may also drive more players though
5493s	as well possibly because there might be
5496s	more people that are looking at like
5498s	supplementary content that are then
5499s	finding us through that so if they don't
5500s	have never heard of it before they may
5502s	actually may actually help in certain
5503s	situations so um I'm by no means an
5506s	expert in that part of uh the business
5508s	side of things and uh people who are are
5511s	handling it uh very well
5515s	um but yeah like there's there's always
5517s	you know fears of like uh we'll go
5520s	unnoticed because they're they're doing
5522s	lots of awesome stuff at the same time
5523s	but I I think we'll be able to stand out
5526s	and
5527s	uh be an interesting part of the
5530s	conversation which is just always makes
5534s	me happy to even be in that conversation
5536s	all right hi Mike sorry if this has been
5537s	asked for that's okay but are there any
5539s	plans for customizable hideouts in the
5540s	future some island in the monolith or
5542s	something would be cool um we do want to
5544s	add something like this style in the
5546s	future um having it be a specific
5548s	separate location you go to is not
5550s	something I'm super interested in
5551s	personally um but I do think that
5553s	there's opportunities for this in our
5555s	current system that would work really
5556s	well um no no plans on season 2 sorry
5559s	any thoughts on some kind of automatic
5560s	loot filter system for the game I
5562s	understand it's probably very difficult
5563s	to do with all the different builds you
5565s	can do but it would be really nice for
5566s	us rookies um there are some i' I'd
5569s	really like to have a loot filter finder
5571s	in the game where you could like share
5573s	and search and sort and filter and find
5576s	recommended loot filters where the
5577s	community is just like um this one's got
5580s	100,000 up votes it's probably pretty
5582s	good you know um there's there is
5584s	literally a description
5586s	field uh here because we had hoped to do
5589s	something like
5593s	that all right uh what sort of ideas do
5595s	youall have for endgame activities Oh I
5598s	would love to answer this and I can't
5599s	without spoiling everything coming in
5601s	season 2 I'm sorry uh hello have the
5604s	pylons been reworked because the certain
5605s	level they are not
5607s	effective I have no idea what pylons
5609s	you're talking
5612s	about
5615s	uh oh skill
5618s	shrines um some of them are very
5620s	effective especially ones where it's the
5621s	same skill that you are they Al also all
5624s	have a secondary effect that does help
5625s	as well so I'd say there's there's some
5627s	adjustments on some of them that weren't
5629s	that were really bad that either removed
5631s	or reworked or buffed or changed and
5633s	there's some new and all sort of stuff
5635s	so there's adjustments but not reworks I
5636s	think um hello for the next season will
5639s	there be season rewards uh not in the
5641s	sense of like hey did you beat these
5643s	eight things you get a an MTX reward
5647s	um will there ever be class in the game
5650s	that's like a shape shifter meaning they
5651s	can use different skills from different
5653s	classes to make truly one custom Mastery
5655s	like being able to use a void Knight
5656s	skill with a necro skill I'm not sure if
5658s	anything like this already exist in the
5659s	erpg currently um there's Sion in Poe
5663s	kind of arguably does it this a little
5664s	bit where it's sort of a um a Choose
5666s	Your Own Adventure type or class
5670s	um uh we don't have any current plans
5672s	for this but I do think there are
5674s	elements of it that we have started to
5676s	dabble in and I can see lots of room for
5679s	in the
5684s	future uh you think there are way too
5687s	many loot lizards right now at mapping I
5689s	think there they're too common what are
5691s	your thoughts thank you for hard work
5692s	love Ellie I agree I think they're
5695s	um would be better if they drop if they
5698s	were less uh
5700s	frequent um and dropped fewer items but
5703s	on average dropped uh higher tier items
5706s	I think that would be uh better which we
5708s	are
5713s	doing
5715s	uh I canot are we getting short Spears
5719s	for one-handed equipment no they're not
5721s	in season 2 anyways um that is something
5724s	that I would love to do I think if we
5726s	did that it would probably come
5727s	alongside a new Mastery or class at the
5730s	same
5731s	time I cannot be my guess I'm if I'm
5734s	going to predict something
5737s	here oh my goodness that was
5740s	close so so very
5746s	close
5748s	uh can we copy paste a stash
5752s	tab um oh oh duplicating the preferences
5756s	for it that's a cool idea we don't have
5757s	anything like that right now um love
5765s	to please please put that in a
5767s	suggestions thread that we have on our
5769s	website or Discord or something in in
5771s	the suggestions box put that in a
5772s	suggestion box that we have we have lots
5773s	of places where we're like please give
5774s	us suggestions to these specific
5776s	locations put it there cuz that's a good
5777s	one
5780s	um I played Ellie from beta and now we
5782s	have so many years in the future but my
5784s	very big question is when are we going
5785s	to see another class it's going to be a
5786s	little while still I
5788s	think like a full-on new base Mastery a
5790s	base class it'll be a little while
5792s	[Music]
5794s	still uh is there any update with
5797s	regards to memory leak issues via an
5799s	Nvidia dlss option um I don't have any
5802s	updates on dlss at the moment um I as
5806s	far as I know there's no memory leaks in
5808s	the de the current development version
5810s	of the game like uh I don't know if
5812s	there's any on live right now I think
5814s	there's uh possibly a situation where it
5817s	can
5818s	happen um I don't know I I have no
5820s	information on this at all um but as far
5823s	as I know there are no memory leaks in
5826s	the current development build
5833s	it oh we got we got another sub is that
5835s	what
5837s	happened what was that that
5840s	was I have no idea what that was
5848s	we got a sub of some sort that was
5851s	cool thanks whoever that was it's not
5853s	showing up in my
5858s	feed I don't know what happened there
5860s	but that was cool thank you whoever that
5864s	was it'll still go to child's play
5868s	whatever uh will we be able to set the
5870s	item filter to leave uh way points in
5873s	map like legendary items already do oh
5875s	like little U visuals on the map not yet
5877s	I there still something on potion for
5880s	I'd love
5882s	to uh I don't know what I'm doing here
5885s	word gain
5886s	sure word gain
5889s	sure Mana cost down
5892s	sure cold pen yeah
5896s	sure uh pancake drawer subbed oh awesome
5900s	that's what that
5901s	was oh yeah this guy

5906s	rears up like that he's about to do a
5908s	big Stomp and it
5911s	hurts get away from that this is my
5917s	punishment this shall be
5924s	[Applause]
5931s	yours I don't know what's going on with
5932s	him am I just freezing him a Bunch or
5935s	something is what his nuts freezing him
5937s	for
5942s	me something's
5945s	happening must not be
5949s	taken there's there's something going on
5952s	here is there ever going to be a skip
5954s	campaign mode ever's a long time I don't
5957s	know we don't have any plans for
5960s	it grail's doing the freezing thanks
5963s	Grail Budd
5965s	we
5966s	don't
5968s	Freedom
5969s	death finally real didn't used to freeze
5973s	lock him did he maybe it's just in
5975s	comment cuz I'm playing a frost build at
5976s	the same time so I'm freezing a little
5977s	bit
5979s	too tell me more the Lance all right can
5983s	you show another unique item the wand
5985s	was formed uh do you think we'll see
5988s	hero no I don't have any more unique
5990s	items I don't know if this was before
5991s	after I showed the last one but I don't
5992s	have any more on top of this one ready
5993s	for today
5994s	unfortunately but there are more coming
5996s	there's lots more for the for season 2
5999s	but I I don't have any more to show you
6001s	today 36 hours behind or 36 minutes
6004s	behind
6006s	o okay we're going to we're going to
6009s	stop for a second in game and I'm going
6010s	to just answer questions for a bit we
6012s	can my cool dude um any plans to add
6016s	more beer to the game no there's weird
6019s	there's I should say weird there's um
6022s	there's some reasons why it might not
6025s	be awesome for us to add lots of beer to
6028s	the game um it's just a cheeky there's a
6031s	cheeky thing where potions can drop and
6033s	it says beer instead of potion um
6035s	there's some theming around that that
6037s	we're going to add in um but explicitly
6041s	beer in the game I I think we're cooling
6043s	it on the direct alcohol like
6047s	explicits uh any plans on having more
6049s	trigger skills Falcon and warlock have
6051s	some amazing ones cathic fion pretty
6052s	much triggers everything classes are
6054s	very much lacking these
6056s	yes
6057s	um summon season 2 more after that
6063s	even uh so I know everyone is all in on
6067s	1.2 season 2 um but what's the big
6070s	overarching theme of season
6072s	3 uh no
6075s	comment uh sorry we're focusing on
6077s	season 2 right now I don't have any info
6079s	on season 3 for you uh as more game more
6083s	class passives are Revisited can we
6085s	expect to see more breakpoint talents
6086s	used like we have in Falcon or warlock
6088s	for example the newest one's done yes um
6091s	we are adding more of those in they're
6093s	not everywhere everywhere to the same
6095s	degree like they're not you're not going
6097s	to see as many in warlock as many other
6098s	things as you do see in warlock for
6100s	example right away um but yeah we are
6103s	we're adding more of those in cuz we
6105s	know they're very
6106s	popular uh not sure if I can ask this
6108s	you can always ask of course but are
6109s	there any changes planned for
6111s	invocations that aren't used often uh
6114s	maybe some little stuff not not a
6116s	ton um what's your favorite obscure
6120s	piece of L lore M's vampires
6122s	exist
6128s	uh I don't
6131s	know
6137s	um
6139s	the uh spron you find in the uh in the
6143s	mountain
6145s	uh can be brought to the end of
6148s	time my favorite obscure piece of ell
6152s	lore uh please make one equipable on off
6154s	and two we very intentionally have not
6156s	done this I don't think we have any
6157s	plans to make it so they do but maybe um
6161s	what's the likelihood of last Epoch
6162s	getting the ability for Community to
6165s	come up with mtxs possibly selling them
6168s	and then possibly getting a cut in the
6169s	game currency oh I you were saying I
6171s	think it would be amazing and I think
6172s	you'd like to see some fresh badass
6173s	looking Cosmetics um yeah this is like
6177s	getting like as the art like integrating
6179s	the art Pipeline and things like that
6181s	that is that is tricky um soz I do think
6184s	there's that would be amazing to do uh I
6187s	don't think we have any plans that right
6189s	now I think we'd be probably more
6192s	interested in just like paying people
6193s	for the stuff um
6197s	but it would be really cool I I don't I
6200s	don't know if that's even possible or
6202s	what but uh uh I think it be
6208s	cool uh I like the likelihood of that
6210s	coming through is probably pretty low
6212s	but I think it' be awesome be awesome
6215s	all right have any plans of in the
6217s	future to be adding new abilities for
6219s	existing classes yes you will see a new
6220s	ability in season 2 uh for an existing
6223s	class will it be possible to use
6224s	two-handed weapons with a new Sentinel
6228s	passive uh
6231s	yes oh two two-handed weapons no no no
6233s	no no no no no um thank you K just one
6236s	two-handed weapon um one non Stave
6240s	two-handed weapon with a
6242s	shield um but I I think so we've kept it
6245s	fairly restricted to make the the mtic
6247s	to forg guard and I can see us adding in
6249s	uh new nodes for other classes or
6251s	masteries maybe some new ones in the
6252s	future that would um have different
6254s	versions of this like um maybe uh what's
6259s	it maybe you could do like this this
6262s	class this this specific map can wield
6264s	two two-handed axes or something like
6265s	that or two-handed like axe May sword
6267s	only or I don't know something like that
6269s	or someone can do like um Go full Gand
6271s	off and like a staff and a sword that'
6273s	be cool um but like I I'd say having it
6276s	be a little bit more restrictive for
6277s	specific classes would probably be where
6279s	we'd go in the
6280s	future uh what's the HG stance on
6282s	current Forge Mastery bonus it was not
6285s	changed on previous rework and seems
6287s	completely worthless compared to every
6288s	other Mastery since for already has a
6289s	lot more res and
6291s	armor I think it's there's there's
6294s	there's a balancing act for the um
6298s	Mastery
6299s	passives and
6301s	um you know they're they're usually
6304s	designed as signposts for what we want
6307s	that class to do what we're saying like
6309s	hey you should be really good at doing
6311s	this thing um so this is the sort of
6313s	thing that we think that you're we're
6315s	kind of telling you this is the the
6318s	style that we've built this class around
6320s	this is the the sort of thing that we
6322s	expect you to do really well it's not
6324s	necessarily a
6327s	um they're not always going to be the
6329s	same power level as each other and I
6331s	think that's fine because they're
6333s	they're balanced with the entire kit in
6334s	mind so they're balanced with these
6336s	abilities in mind they're balanced with
6337s	these um passives at the top of the tree
6339s	in mind like they're balanced with all
6340s	these things in mind that aren't
6341s	necessarily strictly about
6344s	um is this passive bonus the same as
6347s	this passive bonus in passive in in in
6349s	power levels um cuz it also uh affects
6353s	where it comes into play in the leveling
6355s	process as well uh so it's the sort of
6357s	thing that's open to change but I don't
6359s	want to uh suggest that it's going to be
6361s	massively
6363s	different uh can you go over the seeming
6367s	uh hesitance of ehg on not giving more
6369s	void skills slon conversions to skill
6371s	trees and putting them all on unique
6373s	items instead CU we want more void
6375s	skills with trees um I think a lot of it
6377s	comes down to it's a
6380s	very uh there there's a lot of
6385s	theming real
6387s	estate for a
6389s	class that could be taken up by by
6392s	slapping in a void conversion in a
6395s	skill um so so putting a like a void
6399s	conversion in I don't
6402s	know it's a class meteor it's a class Lu
6404s	skill um say we put a void meteor in the
6407s	game and we put a we convert black hole
6410s	to void damage or whatever and suddenly
6412s	you can make a void sorcerer well now
6415s	we're kind of like hey there's making a
6418s	fourth Mastery let's say a void themed
6421s	Mastery for sorcer doesn't really work
6422s	or um say we do like a void conversion
6425s	to scorpion and a void conversion to
6427s	Raptor and a void conversion to a bear
6429s	and a void conversion to we bear or
6431s	whatever you know like like you put a
6432s	bunch of void stuff in in Prim list and
6434s	suddenly there's not really room for a
6435s	void themed Mastery in Primal list you
6438s	know it's and I I just repeat the same
6440s	thing for every class like voet already
6442s	has it so we put most of the Void
6443s	conversions in void Knight um and we are
6446s	adding more void conversions to um base
6449s	Sentinel skills in this
6454s	patch uh is there any reason why enemies
6457s	lack the why enemies attack loot lizards
6461s	in the highlands and nowhere else I did
6462s	not know that it was only in the
6465s	highlands I I have no
6469s	idea those those enemies are probably
6471s	tagged wrong those enemies are probably
6472s	tagged as as uh enemy neutral instead of
6475s	enemy
6479s	evil it's probably the same reason why
6482s	um uh exiled Mages will also do it cuz
6485s	that's how they're
6487s	tagged all right I just lost all loot
6489s	from about 10 loot lizards because I
6491s	didn't see the Ambush boss through the
6492s	shards yeah will there be options to
6494s	filter the shards out going forward I
6496s	feel like they add too much screen
6497s	clutter I'd love to I'd love to
6500s	um do do some more ways like to Drop
6503s	Like A Shard bundle or something like
6505s	that where it's just like instead of
6507s	dropping 40 shards you're like here's 40
6509s	shards in a single 40 various shards or
6511s	something 40 assorted shards I'd love to
6513s	do things like that just to so you can
6515s	be like epic when it drops but it's not
6518s	so cluttering I'd love to get in the
6519s	filter there's a few reasons why it's
6521s	not there at the moment
6522s	[Music]
6524s	um I I hope we I don't have anything
6526s	like that right now to share with you
6527s	but I would love to uh any event when
6531s	winter can makes uh any event when
6534s	winner can make some uniques um we've
6537s	we I think we we've done that before
6540s	haven't
6541s	we I think we've done that if we haven't
6545s	I'm sure we'd be open to
6548s	it lamento the last Refuge was that was
6552s	the um the community designed one but it
6555s	wasn't the it wasn't one person making
6557s	it as the winner for an event
6560s	yeah me typing was that the first race
6568s	winner am I just
6577s	wrong oh the okay yes the unique for the
6582s	okay we we we are doing we have done we
6584s	are doing this this is what I was
6585s	talking about earlier about me
6586s	forgetting what's come out what hasn't
6587s	the um unique that we gave out for
6591s	Designing uh for a Community member to
6594s	design for winning the first race is
6596s	coming in season two got it thanks again
6600s	uh would you guys add different sort
6602s	options in the stash tabs like sort
6603s	level by uh level requirement type Etc
6606s	instead of just using sorting for space
6608s	uh we don't have anything like that for
6610s	season 2 but it's definitely on the list
6612s	uh dual Mastery with some kind of mixed
6614s	pool of passives from both Skillet trees
6616s	in making a resp master for a huge
6621s	cost I assume this is so just just in
6624s	case you don't know this uh as a Spell
6627s	blade you can use everything in the Rune
6628s	Master tree up till this line and
6630s	everything in the sorcerer up until this
6631s	line so the lower sections are you can
6633s	do that where you can mix and match them
6635s	just in case you don't know that if
6636s	you're talking about like Spell blade
6638s	mixed with blade dancer mixed with um
6641s	Paladin or something like that uh we'd
6644s	love to um it's crazy it would be
6647s	amazing it would throw so much of the
6650s	game in the like there's so many things
6652s	we balance around because we're like we
6654s	we know that the limited scope of the
6655s	kit that it has we don't need to worry
6657s	about how um fire Bram will interact
6660s	with certain ability like we don't have
6662s	to worry about how it's going to
6662s	interact with cinder strike because they
6665s	don't exist in the same class um
6669s	but I I think having this like
6671s	combination system go a little bit
6673s	farther would be really neat so if we
6676s	run out of space to take things I think
6677s	that's that's a reasonable place to look
6679s	in the future uh any plans for adding
6681s	new icons to skills and they change the
6682s	damage type with skill Tre I'd say vague
6685s	feelings of wanting to I think this is
6687s	YouTube Subs is what's
