| 407s | overall I'm red |
| 408s | blue that would be my my go-to if I like |
| 411s | if I can only play one pairing from here |
| 413s | on out is it for sure |
| 428s | like as a kid I'm just like counter |
| 429s | spawn lightning bolb the best two cards |
| 430s | in Magic let's make a |
| 439s | deck all right attention sir this is |
| 442s | your weekly character sheet rework |
| 443s | reminder thank you very |
| 448s | much the that's exactly what mono blue |
| 451s | player would |
| 452s | say I so I just built like my first mono |
| 455s | Blue Deck in |
| 456s | Forever |
| 458s | um I'm like all right so we're going to |
| 461s | we're going to build and this is Al just |
| 463s | like stuff I had line around so like |
| 464s | okay we're going to I'm going to build |
| 465s | this this mono blue mil deck um and it's |
| 468s | going to it's going to be this this Goan |
| 470s | ey of wisdom |
| 472s | Shrine which is one of six cards in |
| 475s | Magic one of six creatures in Magic that |
| 476s | have no creature type Shrine is an |
| 478s | enchantment typ and there are only three |
| 481s | blue enchantments shrines uh and it |
| 483s | tries off the number you have I only |
| 485s | have two of them so it's a terrible deck |
| 487s | but it's going to be fun anyways back to |
| 489s | last |
| 491s | defog uh you some love for fire Aura is |
| 494s | Aura of Decay getting some the same |
| 496s | treatment um I mean |
| 498s | we not the same cuz we um know different |
| 503s | problems requireed different |
| 506s | solutions they are similar but the |
| 508s | things that are keeping them from like |
| 510s | really shining are uh I think I think |
| 514s | different different |
| 517s | animals well partially because one of |
| 519s | them is an active skill and one of |
| 521s | them's not so like they kind of sit in |
| 523s | different ecos |
| 534s | systems magic what about Digimon TCG |
| 537s | that I missed that one never never never |
| 538s | played it |
| 541s | uh I saw on Discord you replying that |
| 543s | Arena isn't uh planned currently to be |
| 546s | ingame farming activity can you explain |
| 549s | why team wants that instead of making it |
| 551s | more interesting with adding more mini |
| 553s | bosses meaningful rewards like |
| 555s | preserving leaderboards uh while |
| 556s | preserving leaderboards aspect |
| 558s | especially since people ask for more end |
| 559s | game um I mean it's so the arena is one |
| 564s | of the endgame activities I don't know |
| 568s | uh it's just not |
| 570s | um I guess the the the |
| 573s | core how do you put this |
| 584s | the we we want the arena to be part of |
| 586s | the endgame but we don't want the arena |
| 590s | to |
| 592s | um I guess be a clear-cut like really |
| 595s | successful way like if you're if you're |
| 597s | into Min maxing we don't want the arena |
| 599s | be one of the one of the like the best |
| 602s | mathematically ways to get very high |
| 605s | powered gear very |
| 610s | quickly that might be a more more |
| 612s | accurate way of putting |
| 616s | it uh are there any changes you can talk |
| 619s | about coming to Arena mode next month |
| 622s | cycle there's there's not a lot with |
| 623s | Arena the changing next cycle the |
| 625s | Arena's um not a huge focus of the next |
| 629s | uh next update |
| 631s | much more focusing on Pinnacle boss and |
| 634s | the joining systems to the Pinnacle boss |
| 636s | uh like the lead up to it and and such |
| 639s | and that that's that that's the primary |
| 640s | focus for |
| 642s | um for next cycle there's there's |
| 644s | definitely like lots of other stuff |
| 646s | sprinkled in here and there and |
| 647s | everywhere type thing but um the main |
| 650s | focus for for is is the the Pinnacle |
| 653s | boss and and the surrounding distance |
| 666s | any updates on Minion tool tips coming |
| 667s | 1.1 uh not so much as DPS if that's what |
| 671s | you're hoping for sorry uh did you catch |
| 674s | the D4 campfire chat it's like queued up |
| 677s | and I have a like list of like oh I got |
| 680s | to watch this document or YouTube videos |
| 683s | it's always sort of getting the list |
| 685s | always seems to be growing not |
| 686s | shrinking um but it is the most recent |
| 690s | thing I've added to that |
| 693s | list I watched the inter I have not uh |
| 697s | they are making uniques purple how does |
| 699s | that make you feel I like uniques |
| 702s | uniques are |
| 705s | brown the way that's always been or like |
| 708s | brownie brownie orange you know that's |
| 711s | that's like a Diablo main State isn't it |
| 714s | am I |
| 717s | crazy I know they doing so I guess |
| 719s | uniques legendary different things I |
| 721s | always get that flipped cuz we have a |
| 722s | flip from |
| 725s | them also be |
| 729s | Shrine love |
| 732s | it our little be friends in our B |
| 748s | shrine I think purple's a great color |
| 750s | for um for like really high tier stuff I |
| 754s | think purple's like ingrain is like a |
| 756s | high tier color stuff from from lots of |
| 758s | lots and lots of |
| 759s | games which was why it was so natural |
| 761s | for us to pick as |
| 766s | well for our |
| 770s | exalted all right if there was a bar |
| 773s | class in game ah what kind of music |
| 775s | would the character play would one genre |
| 777s | be paa I'm asking for a friend |
| 782s | I wonder which friend that is |
| 788s | um I feel like I feel like it would be |
| 791s | more |
| 793s | simplistic like I can't I can't imagine |
| 795s | they'd have a ton of time to like you |
| 798s | know make an invent musical instruments |
| 800s | so much like with with much |
| 801s | sophistication as you kind of need for |
| 803s | po like really need for |
| 807s | po that's what I imagine you need |
| 810s | my knowledge is so limited on that topic |
| 814s | um I feel I feel it could be more like |
| 817s | uh channeling the renaissance fair type |
| 821s | music we might |
| 826s | guess fl's been ambushed Eads frenzy |
| 829s | totem activate |
| 835s | a that was a close one |
| 842s | got |
| 844s | him got him all |
| 847s | right uh what is the beverage of the day |
| 850s | I'm drinking a raspberry |
| 852s | bubbly sparkling water with a touch of |
| 863s | flavoring passes finish this off we're |
| 867s | going to head down here possibly |
| 870s | oh here's good too this node's really |
| 873s | handy at the same time I'm like uh yeah |
| 877s | this node just seems so good for |
| 882s | us that that that much less so |
| 887s | but we kind of got to go for this |
| 901s | let's get some |
| 905s | glyphs they make Uber uniques purple not |
| 908s | all uniques |
| 911s | okay uh if you want Mike to answer your |
| 913s | question you should add me yes yes put |
| 915s | at last Depot game in the question if |
| 916s | you'd like me to see it I will skip over |
| 918s | it otherwise I'm sorry I'll go |
| 921s | back uh can you elaborate on what's the |
| 924s | light before the dark race event is I I |
| 927s | actually like not a matter of not one to |
| 929s | I actually can't cuz I don't |
| 932s | know I've had my head so like just just |
| 935s | focused on getting stuff done for this |
| 937s | patch that like I've been ignoring all |
| 939s | of the all the extra stuff and like I |
| 941s | found out about that event when someone |
| 942s | asked about it in the asid de Channel no |
| 948s | idea and I like once I saw I'm like you |
| 950s | know what I'm just going to wait I'm I'm |
| 952s | not even going to ask I'm just going to |
| 953s | like wait and see what happens |
| 962s | I have no idea but I I am likewise |
| 965s | excited to find out because I think like |
| 967s | the concept of like a lore race is is |
| 970s | very cool and I know there's a few like |
| 973s | I'm not sure how it's going to work but |
| 974s | I know there's a few things we've been |
| 975s | working on behind the scenes that would |
| 977s | make something like this uh be possible |
| 980s | for what I think it could be I know it's |
| 981s | super vague so cuz I'm speculating what |
| 983s | it actually is myself but like I don't |
| 985s | know I think there could be some I'm |
| 986s | excited to see what they do with it |
| 988s | we'll see it's be fun |
| 999s | uh do you have any plans for Shaman new |
| 1001s | ability or work on tree yeah like |
| 1003s | there's there's nodes coming in for |
| 1005s | passives um there are no completely new |
| 1008s | abilities being introduced in 1.1 um so |
| 1011s | like some some abilities got like some |
| 1012s | pretty significant changes on various |
| 1015s | classes um but there's no like here's a |
| 1017s | new skill |
| 1022s | um yeah like there's there's more |
| 1024s | connections we're making um between some |
| 1026s | of the some of the active abilities um |
| 1028s | you know some bug fixes here and there |
| 1030s | on some of the totems uh some passives |
| 1032s | got updates um so there's like there's |
| 1035s | stuff uh that's going to be it's going |
| 1038s | to be fun |
| 1055s | all right next |
| 1058s | question I going to survive |
| 1061s | this |
| 1064s | yes uh do you have oh can you describe |
| 1067s | the process of actually uh fighting the |
| 1069s | Pinnacle boss H not so much probably not |
| 1073s | like where is it uh do you need mats for |
| 1075s | it are there different corruption levels |
| 1077s | for it Etc okay so I I can |
| 1079s | I I can answer like one in a bit of |
| 1082s | those |
| 1083s | questions |
| 1086s | um so where is it I I can't really tell |
| 1090s | you right now um cuz it kind |
| 1093s | of you'll you'll have |
| 1098s | um |
| 1101s | like uh you you'll once once it's |
| 1104s | unlocked you'll have easy access to it |
| 1106s | like it's not uh there's no like um |
| 1109s | like Trek to get there from a waypoint |
| 1111s | or something like there's a waypoint |
| 1112s | like right outside the door and it's |
| 1113s | like there the the door is uh like right |
| 1117s | outside another Waypoint that you |
| 1118s | probably already have unlocked type |
| 1120s | thing like so it's it's not um it's it's |
| 1123s | not out of the |
| 1125s | way |
| 1127s | um so yeah physical access is easy uh |
| 1132s | you do have to unlock it Bea a process |
| 1134s | of some other things that lead out to it |
| 1136s | so you have to unlock it once it's |
| 1138s | unlocked very easy to do |
| 1140s | the way you unlock it is right on the |
| 1142s | normal path so like you're not going |
| 1143s | super far the way to find it it's it's |
| 1145s | it's it's like it's it's smooth I don't |
| 1148s | know how to there's probably a term for |
| 1150s | this it flows |
| 1154s | nicely it's |
| 1155s | natural uh what else what else is in |
| 1157s | here you need mats yeah you need things |
| 1160s | that you get in the process of unlocking |
| 1166s | it yes like there's there's a key |
| 1170s | you can't just like if you physically |
| 1172s | can run up to it open the door you need |
| 1173s | you need a |
| 1176s | key um and are there different |
| 1177s | corruption levels for no so this is this |
| 1179s | is a static difficulty content um so |
| 1182s | what this means is um no matter what |
| 1184s | level you are no matter what your |
| 1186s | corruption is no matter where you are in |
| 1187s | the game no matter what you do the boss |
| 1189s | fight is the same for everyone it's the |
| 1191s | same difficulty it's the same uh move |
| 1194s | set it is static difficulty contact |
| 1199s | there's a lot going on in the |
| 1207s | fight but it does not change based on |
| 1219s | corruption if it did it would be |
| 1222s | like it wouldn't like wouldn't really |
| 1225s | there'd always be no matter when you |
| 1226s | fought it there'd always be a harder |
| 1227s | version of it you know cuz you just up |
| 1229s | the |
| 1230s | corruption that's one of the big things |
| 1232s | we we when we're designing this content |
| 1233s | so there's like different different |
| 1235s | things different reasons we put |
| 1236s | different content into the game and one |
| 1238s | of the core things we want out of this |
| 1239s | content is to be that um that |
| 1241s | benchmarking content where you can say |
| 1243s | like oh hey I beat this boss this build |
| 1246s | can beat this boss type |
| 1249s | thing so that that is important to have |
| 1259s | all right stream two of asking as ply as |
| 1262s | possible for search option only t6s only |
| 1264s | t7s please much love the whole |
| 1267s | team I I can't promise anything but if |
| 1270s | you'd like to see it uh the best place |
| 1272s | to ask for it is on the forums so I |
| 1274s | don't take any suggestions from the |
| 1275s | streams ever |
| 1289s | uh can you elaborate |
| 1291s | on |
| 1293s | um I cannot elaborate on that all oh |
| 1296s | this is the Reas someone told me to |
| 1298s | message I went back yes got it I'm with |
| 1299s | you I'm back back on track uh do you |
| 1301s | guys plan on adding sounds to loot |
| 1303s | filter in future this is a really tough |
| 1304s | one we've we've gone back and forth |
| 1306s | internally on this a few times we don't |
| 1308s | currently have active plans to do this |
| 1310s | still fighting for it |
| 1316s | though uh hey Mike when new releases are |
| 1319s | approaching besides the typical last |
| 1321s | week where you start uh delivering a |
| 1323s | piece of info about every day to |
| 1324s | generate hype do you guys plan to do |
| 1326s | more sort of twitch streams to present |
| 1328s | the news live to the community or |
| 1329s | something like that in the future well |
| 1332s | um I think the big documents generally |
| 1335s | do better as a |
| 1336s | post um rather cuz then it can be like |
| 1341s | directly referenced in like um how like |
| 1344s | scrub to a video and listen to what |
| 1345s | someone says a few times and maybe it's |
| 1346s | like misspeaking and things like that um |
| 1349s | I do try to be very careful with the way |
| 1351s | I talk and things I say to be make sure |
| 1353s | it's precise but every once in a while I |
| 1355s | say like a all out of plural to |
| 1357s | something and be like oh |
| 1360s | no |
| 1361s | um which I did a month back that |
| 1366s | sorry that's why that example comes to |
| 1369s | mind |
| 1371s | um yeah I I mean we do this this stream |
| 1374s | every week so um that's going to |
| 1376s | continue |
| 1380s | I'd really like to do more uh variants |
| 1383s | on these streams like get get more |
| 1384s | guests in those always been really well |
| 1386s | received so I'm hoping to in the like |
| 1389s | maybe the first couple weeks or like the |
| 1391s | week before even of of the patch getting |
| 1393s | some guests on |
| 1398s | it |
| 1404s | personally the streams when I'm when I'm |
| 1406s | I I really like I really like having uh |
| 1408s | someone to talk talk to you on stream um |
| 1410s | like the times we did the like the |
| 1412s | podcast and some of the interviews with |
| 1414s | like um with a whole bunch of different |
| 1416s | people uh is has |
| 1419s | been i' they they've flown by they've |
| 1422s | just been like you blinking their |
| 1429s | over just I they're a lot of |
| 1437s | fun uh will Shadow dagger get nerfed to |
| 1440s | 1.1 Shadow dagger Rogue might be my |
| 1442s | favorite way to play a rogue character |
| 1443s | in any video game but it's really really |
| 1445s | strong yeah I mean um you know if you're |
| 1450s | see I think there's a lot of builds that |
| 1451s | are getting nerfed um a lot of builds |
| 1453s | are getting buffed and even builds that |
| 1454s | get Nerf will get buffed in other ways |
| 1456s | too so like it's not always just about |
| 1458s | straight Buffs and it's not always just |
| 1459s | about straight Nerfs so we're doing |
| 1460s | Buffs and Nerfs on basically everything |
| 1464s | um uh and and the the things you |
| 1467s | see really standing out super strong um |
| 1470s | that are hitting these kind of insane |
| 1472s | corruption numbers are going to be |
| 1474s | brought back to reality of |
| 1485s | it do we fix no problem don't don't |
| 1488s | apologize it's totally |
| 1495s | fine you're good |
| 1499s | no worries all right with some Beast |
| 1502s | Master builds making use of a terorist |
| 1504s | blessing casts on their companions for |
| 1507s | the companion skill reset is there any |
| 1509s | possibility of the skill receiving some |
| 1510s | way to restrict targets to Companions or |
| 1513s | otherwise Auto Target them because while |
| 1515s | the builds that function well um they're |
| 1518s | extremely hindered in multiplayer by the |
| 1520s | presence of allies yeah that's an |
| 1522s | interesting one I I think that's a if |
| 1524s | um I think that would be a good way to |
| 1527s | restrict it um we we we get suggestions |
| 1530s | sometimes of like like oh can we target |
| 1532s | the like the the portrait frames in the |
| 1533s | top and things like that there's there's |
| 1535s | some issues there um but yeah I think |
| 1538s | that that's probably a good way to do it |
| 1540s | is putting it in the actual |
| 1543s | um skill tree node where it's |
| 1546s | like attach attach it to some some buff |
| 1549s | that's already there about minions |
| 1551s | there's probably some node uh that's |
| 1553s | like if you use this on a minion it gets |
| 1554s | this extra thing well it already does |
| 1555s | that anyways but like it gets the |
| 1557s | increased size |
| 1560s | but restricting the targets the minion |
| 1568s | is yeah like like something like that |
| 1570s | right |
| 1572s | there yeah I can see I can see it going |
| 1575s | on that node right I think that's like |
| 1576s | that if you're going to |
| 1580s | yeah that's not very far out of the way |
| 1583s | it's not like a mandatory thing behind |
| 1585s | it it's a pretty basic note already |
| 1591s | I would I would probably put it there |
| 1592s | that's that's what I would do I think if |
| 1593s | if we're going to do |
| 1607s | that probably want to check the the |
| 1608s | notes first just to be safe but got |
| 1611s | reactions right but I |
| 1614s | think uh we get a lot of questions about |
| 1616s | itemization in the community some |
| 1617s | players are wondering ing why there |
| 1619s | aren't more generic uniques uh can you |
| 1622s | give a slight peek into design theory of |
| 1624s | uniques and your goals for them I mean |
| 1626s | yeah so I think the uniques get |
| 1628s | generated fairly |
| 1630s | organically um it might be a bad way to |
| 1633s | put it they get |
| 1636s | generated uh largely in isolation from |
| 1639s | each other I think is a good way to put |
| 1640s | it so there's like |
| 1643s | um someone comes with an idea for a |
| 1645s | unique and it doesn't really matter too |
| 1647s | much what the other uniques like there's |
| 1651s | there there there's consideration for |
| 1652s | other uniques of like okay what else is |
| 1653s | in the slot what other uniques what |
| 1654s | other abilities like overall interact |
| 1656s | with this in certain builds stuff like |
| 1657s | that but like there's there's I think |
| 1659s | rarely we take a step back and look at |
| 1661s | our like Pantheon of uniques to see the |
| 1663s | distribution of the Styles and things |
| 1665s | like that |
| 1669s | um so I think |
| 1671s | there's it sort of naturally ends up |
| 1674s | being a little bit more of a shift |
| 1676s | towards more specific uniques just |
| 1680s | because it's a lot easier especially |
| 1681s | when we're adding in like like lots of |
| 1683s | uniques frequently come with a new |
| 1685s | mechanic or a new ability and and and |
| 1687s | when when new abilities come to the game |
| 1689s | and new uniques come with them I think |
| 1691s | it's really um I think it makes a lot of |
| 1694s | sense for us to be making those uniques |
| 1695s | for that ability that's entered the game |
| 1697s | because um you know there's so many |
| 1699s | other uniques that have been built up |
| 1701s | for every other ability throughout the |
| 1702s | over the years um that that having that |
| 1705s | that like initial burst makes it so they |
| 1707s | don't feel like they're left behind |
| 1708s | really bad I think that's happened a few |
| 1710s | times in a row where like we've released |
| 1712s | a patch and like okay we got room for |
| 1713s | like 15 20 uniques um but we've got 15 |
| 1717s | 20 abilities uh not that bad in some |
| 1720s | cases but like we've got a bunch of new |
| 1721s | abilities got five new abilities and so |
| 1723s | it's like maybe two uniques per ability |
| 1725s | uh and suddenly you're at that's that's |
| 1727s | at least half of the uniques we're going |
| 1729s | to be put in the patch are specific to |
| 1731s | new abilities and you get other |
| 1733s | abilities that come in and there's not a |
| 1735s | limit hard limit on how many uniques can |
| 1736s | be in every patch but like 20 is roughly |
| 1738s | about where we normally |
| 1741s | land |
| 1744s | um see it's I I think and I think you |
| 1747s | can you end up with like uh a lot of |
| 1750s | times really interesting things when you |
| 1752s | can be a little more narrow on topic so |
| 1754s | like just just |
| 1757s | getting when when you're when you when |
| 1759s | you restrict where it's useful I you can |
| 1761s | be a little bit more wild and what it |
| 1763s | could |
| 1771s | it's probably a combination of like |
| 1772s | eight things and then also like |
| 1774s | supporter uniques come in um we're still |
| 1776s | doing those and those are still like on |
| 1778s | the backlog of |
| 1779s | those those are almost always very |
| 1782s | narrow in in like a good way |
| 1784s | um people have like a really specific |
| 1786s | play style that're that they're trying |
| 1788s | to like enable and get into the game |
| 1790s | something that they really love um and |
| 1792s | those are the best |
| 1797s | ones so think long-term goals for |
| 1799s | uniques is just like more options more |
| 1801s | of everything more generic ones more |
| 1804s | specific ones more everything in between |
| 1806s | more more |
| 1809s | more and there will come a time where |
| 1811s | there's like too many almost um so we |
| 1815s | got to be careful about that too but you |
| 1816s | know right now I think we're pretty far |
| 1818s | from that when you look at other games |
| 1819s | in in the in the space and how many |
| 1821s | looks they |
| 1823s | have and I think you can also look at |
| 1825s | other games too um as like for examples |
| 1828s | of how things can go as well cuz like um |
| 1831s | like you like look look back at like |
| 1833s | Diablo I for example |
| 1835s | um there's like the uniques that are |
| 1838s | actually used and useful there's so few |
| 1842s | um and I think uniques are the ones that |
| 1844s | are used are just like really really |
| 1846s | really powerful for just like everything |
| 1848s | and then like a few that are really |
| 1849s | specific so like you get Nightwing or |
| 1851s | something like that it's just for just |
| 1853s | for cold sorts and things like that and |
| 1855s | it's like um |
| 1859s | you know there's there's there's a few |
| 1861s | of the really narrow ones and then a few |
| 1863s | of the really generic ones Sho things |
| 1865s | like that and there not really that many |
| 1866s | they get used and I think with with more |
| 1868s | narrow options that we have we end up |
| 1871s | with a bigger variety of things that get |
| 1872s | used at all um just cuz people |
| 1875s | especially while leveling will be like |
| 1876s | oh here's here's a unique specific for |
| 1877s | this one ability I'm |
| 1879s | training and and you can those uniques |
| 1881s | get slipped into those builds which I |
| 1883s | think is really good |
| 1892s | more more variety more cool |
| 1895s | stuff all right Mike did you know that |
| 1897s | you have a famous doppelganger I |
| 1901s | don't wouldn't I be the doppelganger of |
| 1904s | the famous |
| 1909s | person who is it someone super cool I |
| 1912s | know |
| 1914s | that uh possible Forge guard rework or |
| 1916s | potential for one in the future I mean |
| 1918s | we're we I think they like I think |
| 1921s | there's a lot of things that forar does |
| 1923s | really right |
| 1926s | um and we're definitely taking like |
| 1928s | there's there's things we're adding into |
| 1929s | it this patch there's things that I |
| 1931s | think they'll be improving it make it |
| 1932s | feel even better |
| 1934s | um I think there's a couple skills that |
| 1936s | could use a rework on Forge guard but |
| 1938s | for the most part I don't think the |
| 1939s | entire class needs like a back to the |
| 1941s | drawing board type |
| 1943s | thing I think the theming is really |
| 1945s | strong I think the overall abilities |
| 1946s | play really well I think there's you |
| 1948s | know |
| 1951s | just a few key |
| 1954s | issues I think it's I think it's a lot |
| 1956s | closer to being a lot of fun than uh it |
| 1966s | seems there's definitely some tech |
| 1968s | that's that's missing to make it really |
| 1974s | shiny I keep hitting you can't hear it |
| 1976s | but I keep hitting the Stace space bar |
| 1978s | i' I've hit the space bar like I don't |
| 1980s | know 100 times this stream already |
| 1982s | trying to roll trying to just like |
| 1984s | activate the evade like perfect time to |
| 1985s | evade and I'm like oh wait I have to |
| 1988s | walk it's it's already like ingrained in |
| 1996s | me I think I think we're just going to |
| 1997s | come for |
| 2000s | this yeah we're just come for this now |
| 2010s | uh will you make Avalanche great again |
| 2013s | I'd love to I also hate to CU avalanch |
| 2016s | is the pain of my existence when coming |
| 2018s | up against it um yeah I think I think |
| 2020s | Avalanche has some cool stuff I don't |
| 2021s | think there's any major updates for |
| 2023s | Avalanche playing this patch but I think |
| 2024s | it's |
| 2028s | um it it needs some love |
| 2039s | apologies if you've already answered |
| 2041s | this it's quite all right but I've |
| 2042s | noticed traversal skills seem to get |
| 2044s | caught on inclines this can be fix 1.1 |
| 2046s | there's a lot of different reasons why a |
| 2048s | lot of different Trends traversal skills |
| 2050s | get caught in a lot of different |
| 2052s | situations because they behave a little |
| 2053s | bit differently for all them |
| 2056s | um it is something we've been working on |
| 2059s | um the the reliability of movement in |
| 2061s | general has been uh a sticking point for |
| 2065s | us for a long time um |
| 2071s | and it is something that we are actively |
| 2077s | working apologies this has been asked |
| 2080s | once again totally fine but do you know |
| 2082s | how soon before the patch cycle will you |
| 2084s | release the patch notes it'll just be a |
| 2086s | few days um so we usually do leading up |
| 2087s | to the patch there's hype week um and so |
| 2090s | during hype week there's like uh each |
| 2092s | day we release a a Dev blog post that |
| 2095s | has um you know has has details on one |
| 2099s | specific thing so like I I don't know |
| 2101s | what they're all going to be this this |
| 2102s | this time but I assume there're going to |
| 2103s | be things like hey here's the Nemesis |
| 2105s | system and we'll go into detail on how |
| 2107s | that works and how you can interact with |
| 2108s | what you'll see all stuff like that be |
| 2110s | like next day like maybe here's the |
| 2111s | harbinger system and go into details on |
| 2113s | that you can expect to see with that and |
| 2115s | then you know like I the Pinnacle boss |
| 2118s | and and some details on that but maybe a |
| 2120s | little bit shy on some of the details so |
| 2121s | you can experience it |
| 2123s | firstand like exactly what'll happen um |
| 2127s | and then |
| 2129s | uh you know a little |
| 2133s | um once once all the major dead blogs |
| 2135s | have come then we do then we do patch |
| 2137s | notes and it's got all the details like |
| 2138s | oh this ability is getting buffed by |
| 2139s | that |
| 2146s | L all right in that case of no scaling |
| 2149s | are you currently planning Uber variants |
| 2151s | of bosses or just |
| 2154s | progression um there's so we already do |
| 2156s | kind of do the like um like boss |
| 2160s | progression with empowered versions boss |
| 2162s | one uh this one the the like the the |
| 2166s | version that's launching on 1.1 the |
| 2168s | Pinnacle boss that's coming in 1.1 will |
| 2170s | have one difficulty setting um I think |
| 2174s | having Uber bosses in the future and |
| 2176s | like combo bosses and all these sorts of |
| 2179s | intense like hyper challenges are are |
| 2182s | like on on the on the table for future |
| 2185s | content um 1.1 we have we're we're |
| 2187s | coming with this Pinnacle boss and the |
| 2189s | Pinnacle boss will be that one |
| 2191s | difficulty for that one Pinnacle boss |
| 2192s | for |
| 2198s | 1.1 there are like things leading up to |
| 2201s | it it's not just walk in you fight the |
| 2203s | boss like there's other content you have |
| 2206s | to do first before you're allowed to |
| 2211s | fight all right serpent strike CU I know |
| 2213s | that summons Primal |
| 2216s | serpent yes it does |
| 2220s | um would this be considered a Talisman |
| 2223s | skill if Talisman skills existed in game |
| 2225s | how would you envision them Envision |
| 2227s | some other primalist Talisman what |
| 2230s | animals would be used Bas this question |
| 2232s | on the Lore |
| 2236s | Master I have no |
| 2239s | idea |
| 2245s | uh I have no idea um |
| 2252s | um I feel like just getting |
| 2258s | more cuz you like so there's there's the |
| 2261s | like aspect |
| 2262s | nodes |
| 2265s | um maybe maybe channeling those in some |
| 2268s | way I think could be cool I don't know |
| 2271s | I'm sorry I don't have a good answer |
| 2272s | this one at all |
| 2279s | every once in a while I get stumped I'm |
| 2280s | throw in the towel uh when will the game |
| 2282s | be available on consoles uh do you think |
| 2286s | uh you losing players with poe2 and D4 |
| 2288s | both platforms cheers |
| 2290s | um I I think we have |
| 2294s | to uh have have our |
| 2298s | PC uh version Rock Solid before we start |
| 2301s | getting into console stuff |
| 2305s | um we are like there's there's a lot of |
| 2308s | things that have to happen um to to get |
| 2312s | the game released on a console um that |
| 2314s | we haven't started yet just like there's |
| 2316s | standards you have to adhere to for |
| 2317s | specific consoles there's like um |
| 2320s | whether or not it can be paused |
| 2322s | and there there's all sort of little |
| 2324s | things like maximum memory usages and |
| 2326s | all these things like that that need to |
| 2328s | be met in order to get onto a console |
| 2329s | and and personally I have I've never |
| 2331s | released a console game myself there's |
| 2332s | other people on the team that |
| 2334s | have um so we're still in very very |
| 2338s | early days of you know like looking at |
| 2340s | relationships with those companies to |
| 2341s | get game to get Epoch on the console but |
| 2343s | it was still ways out from that I |
| 2357s | think all right hi Mike oh thanks thanks |
| 2360s | for the uh the assist ping there heavy |
| 2362s | um uh when will the game be available |
| 2364s | all right so hi Mike will there be a |
| 2366s | passive leveling system after reaching |
| 2368s | level 100 in the feature for example the |
| 2370s | paradon system V3 since they dedicated |
| 2372s | much time and effort for the safety of a |
| 2374s | tera and leveled up 13 masteries to |
| 2376s | level 100 plus one level 91 level 83 in |
| 2380s | this cycle when can I expect my unique |
| 2382s | ring ring of real |
| 2385s | learning uh with the 10 to 25% increased |
| 2388s | XP mod thanks in |
| 2390s | advance that that is quite the |
| 2392s | achievement um that is that is a lot of |
| 2395s | extremely high level characters um so |
| 2399s | wow um I we don't really have any plans |
| 2403s | for um leveling up charact leveling up |
| 2406s | um like a D3 Paragon style |
| 2409s | system uh characters hitting max level |
| 2411s | is we really view that as an achievement |
| 2414s | unto itself just one character H so it's |
| 2417s | not something that we're really |
| 2418s | expecting most players to do and because |
| 2421s | of that locking a system behind it |
| 2423s | doesn't really make a lot of sense um we |
| 2426s | do want there to be um like endgame |
| 2431s | farming systems like |
| 2434s | endgame uh Farm the wrong word but like |
| 2436s | a a system where you can |
| 2439s | progress uh keep progressing behind the |
| 2441s | scenes like through endgame and have it |
| 2443s | be have't be exciting and interesting |
| 2445s | the way the passive system works |
| 2446s | inherently it becomes less and less |
| 2448s | exciting to get passive points as you |
| 2450s | put points in once you get past around |
| 2452s | level 75 80ish um and and we're we're |
| 2455s | really happy with how the passive system |
| 2457s | is working and the and what it's |
| 2458s | bringing to the table um but because of |
| 2461s | how it's it's linked to level and um and |
| 2464s | all that having a system that gets tied |
| 2467s | uh a passive |
| 2468s | progression uh system and oh my goodness |
| 2473s | stumbling so much on this I'm trying to |
| 2474s | say is factions that's where I'm going |
| 2477s | with all this I'm trying to say factions |
| 2478s | in a really long-winded way um we we |
| 2481s | feel factions more fit that role and as |
| 2483s | we get more factions into the game um |
| 2485s | and as the faction systems get flushed |
| 2487s | out more and and you know fix the issues |
| 2489s | that we have with them first pass of |
| 2491s | which is happening 1.1 and we're going |
| 2493s | to keep updating 1.2 and keep adding |
| 2494s | more as we get through to three four |
| 2496s | five all sort of stuff |
| 2499s | um so you know you're going to you're |
| 2501s | going to see updates that continuing and |
| 2503s | that type of in-game progression system |
| 2505s | to get cool stuff is probably going to |
| 2507s | come more from the faction system than |
| 2508s | it is um from uh a system is tied to |
| 2520s | uh give us ryer to talk about all the |
| 2521s | cool new yeah I think that's a great |
| 2524s | idea hey ryer you want to come join me |
| 2526s | next time talk about some cool nodes |
| 2532s | huh he's probably not listening it's |
| 2534s | quite |
| 2535s | late that is part of the problem it's |
| 2538s | like's he's in Europe so it's the middle |
| 2540s | of the night |
| 2551s | hi Mike oh I that yes I went |
| 2554s | back uh hi Mike hello Mr fibble fibble I |
| 2559s | always I always love your name and ruin |
| 2561s | your name I realize right after every |
| 2562s | single time I'm |
| 2563s | sorry uh hi Mike do you know if there |
| 2566s | are any plans for future Cosmetics via |
| 2568s | twitch drops yes as of today I believe |
| 2572s | we got uh new |
| 2576s | info uh |
| 2584s | um are we here |
| 2610s | fastest way to cheat this on to the |
| 2612s | screens this way here we |
| 2617s | go uh here is the uh we we we just just |
| 2621s | posted this on our various |
| 2626s | everythings uh so if you |
| 2628s | want twitch drops for the |
| 2634s | patch oh I'm being told right now we're |
| 2638s | changing the way we're doing hype week |
| 2639s | this this this year this this year this |
| 2646s | patch oh this is for uh two hours on any |
| 2649s | one |
| 2652s | day so if you watch uh any of the |
| 2655s | related |
| 2656s | streams uh for two hours on any one of |
| 2658s | these |
| 2659s | days you |
| 2663s | get these these Cosmetics it's a pet and |
| 2666s | a cape sorry I'm getting I'm getting |
| 2668s | extra information to tossing me right |
| 2670s | now |
| 2674s | live uh all right hype week we're |
| 2677s | actually condensing it into fewer larger |
| 2679s | posts and then the patch notes so it's |
| 2681s | going to come |
| 2684s | out faster and bigger I |
| 2689s | guess all right any love coming for |
| 2692s | volcanic orb in cycle 2 been asking for |
| 2694s | literal |
| 2695s | years uh I I don't have any specific |
| 2697s | specific details on what's coming |
| 2701s | up for uh volcanic orb the next cycle |
| 2704s | but you know I don't think it's |
| 2705s | unreasonable to have see |
| 2708s | something we'll see what happens |
| 2716s | though yeah and we're changing the way |
| 2717s | we're doing hype week because of your |
| 2719s | pack |
| 2731s | speaking of feedback if you've been |
| 2733s | playing last heac for a while and like |
| 2735s | most of the people here probably have |
| 2736s | not all but most and you haven't um you |
| 2740s | haven't bothered to go on over and drop |
| 2741s | a review yet uh however you want it I |
| 2744s | would encourage you to check out that |
| 2747s | opportunity |
| 2754s | now as long as I don't die ah |
| 2767s | H |
| 2768s | right since 1.0 of last def how has this |
| 2771s | launch permanently changed the dynamic |
| 2773s | structure and Outlook of HG what the |
| 2776s | company was before um I mean we've we've |
| 2779s | definitely we're growing uh in size |
| 2781s | we've we're hiring more people more like |
| 2785s | crazy talented people have been applying |
| 2786s | for jobs which is which is so cool um |
| 2791s | and so we've been we've been getting |
| 2793s | more more developers more artists more |
| 2795s | designers more uh other types of artists |
| 2799s | more other types of artists because |
| 2800s | there's so many different types of |
| 2801s | amazing specialized artists |
| 2805s | um I I think it's where we we've managed |
| 2808s | to increase our um pipeline size a |
| 2810s | little |
| 2812s | bit know just as an attempt to get more |
| 2814s | content out faster and better better |
| 2817s | content out faster |
| 2821s | too I know things that like I I recently |
| 2824s | just took one of my hats off and gave it |
| 2826s | to someone which I was so happy |
| 2828s | for a you're doing a great |
| 2841s | job yeah I think that's I think that's a |
| 2843s | big part of it |
| 2844s | um just like you you like when the game |
| 2847s | when after the game launched there's |
| 2848s | just like a so many more eyes on it that |
| 2851s | people who are both like talented game |
| 2854s | development professionals and just love |
| 2855s | video games suddenly see the game and |
| 2858s | are like hey that sounds like something |
| 2860s | cool I might like to do and you're like |
| 2862s | yes come do this with us it is cool you |
| 2864s | would like to do |
| 2874s | it that's I don't hate that |
| 2877s | yeah I do hate that |
| 2881s | though no room no room how about now |
| 2895s | uh one more stash tab oh |
| 2898s | oops always one more stash tab |
| 2908s | we just clear this whole one we can |
| 2910s | almost have the entire |
| 2912s | uh ability |
| 2916s | done I'm very excited very very excited |
| 2919s | about cycle 2 cyle one had a very rough |
| 2921s | start how are you guys better prepared |
| 2923s | for a huge popularity cycle too I mean |
| 2926s | um a ton has changed um you know like |
| 2929s | serers uh server backend wise the like |
| 2932s | code that runs the server that runs the |
| 2933s | networking stack that runs all the |
| 2935s | adjacent systems you know so much of |
| 2937s | that has been updated and improved and |
| 2939s | um you know we we had done a lot of |
| 2942s | artificial testing before but we had |
| 2944s | never had 265,000 people playing |
| 2948s | simultaneously um so like artificial |
| 2951s | tests are great but they don't always |
| 2953s | tell the whole |
| 2954s | story um like a unit test can only do so |
| 2958s | much and |
| 2961s | um we we we definitely learned a ton and |
| 2964s | have put so much of that into action |
| 2970s | there's a entirely new networking stack |
| 2972s | that the game's running on now compared |
| 2974s | to what it was then |
| 2979s | um we are and we're we're we're not done |
| 2982s | either so like 1 Point uh 1.2 will be |
| 2985s | even better than 1.1 |
| 2988s | um and and we're just going to keep |
| 2990s | improving it but yeah it's |
| 3001s | woo he's |
| 3008s | there this might oh I should have done |
| 3010s | this before boss okay well harer Stars |
| 3013s | sweet |
| 3016s | um we're so not a crit build |
| 3020s | though like so the opposite of the build |
| 3023s | that wants this |
| 3030s | okay when I get to the boss I'll show |
| 3031s | you I'll talk about it because we do |
| 3032s | have um some exciting news about um boss |
| 3036s | Dr and what we're doing with that I'm |
| 3038s | actually going to share with you the |
| 3039s | details when we get to the boss fight I |
| 3041s | I'll go a little deeper on |
| 3050s | it don't forget to put at last Depot |
| 3053s | game in the question if you'd like me to |
| 3054s | answer I just scroll back just scroll |
| 3056s | past a huge chunk and I'm assuming there |
| 3057s | was nothing in |
| 3059s | there uh about how many uniques will we |
| 3061s | add in 1.1 I'm not 100% sure we like |
| 3063s | we're still adding them is the funny |
| 3064s | part |
| 3065s | um so there's still a couple more |
| 3067s | getting sprinkled in I think we're in |
| 3069s | and around our usual |
| 3071s | amount um but I haven't counted |
| 3075s | them comfortably double digits though |
| 3079s | say that with |
| 3082s | confidence and and and definitely not |
| 3084s | triple digits |
| 3098s | that in place Fury leap with with a |
| 3101s | frenzy totem down getting all of the |
| 3103s | like all all the spines that come up all |
| 3106s | yeah actually does |
| 3110s | decent it's |
| 3115s | important um what are your views of the |
| 3119s | Rogue or one of its masteries uh to have |
| 3122s | vanish or stealth skill this is a really |
| 3124s | interesting topic um and we've we we've |
| 3128s | like talked about having uh like a |
| 3131s | disengage a stealth a vanish something |
| 3133s | like that uh quite a bit and um we it's |
| 3139s | really difficult to to make it play nice |
| 3143s | make it play |
| 3145s | well es especially in in like it it just |
| 3148s | doesn't the play style doesn't fit super |
| 3150s | well in an RPG um and we've kind of |
| 3153s | tried to emulate that feeling and the |
| 3157s | like thematics of what's going on a |
| 3159s | little bit with smoke bomb that's that's |
| 3160s | how smoke bomb was born actually we were |
| 3162s | trying to find we like we're trying to |
| 3164s | make a a a vanish or a disengage type |
| 3167s | ability and smoke bomb is what came out |
| 3168s | of that |
| 3170s | um that design discussion that was quite |
| 3173s | a while ago um I don't I don't I know if |
| 3177s | like there's there's always these old |
| 3179s | topics where we're like we've worked on |
| 3181s | something and like how we came up with |
| 3183s | what worked y y y um and then like four |
| 3186s | years goes |
| 3187s | by and all of a sudden there's like a |
| 3189s | bunch of new things you can do in the |
| 3191s | engine because we keep building little |
| 3193s | things for other skills and we're like |
| 3194s | oh my God this works now type |
| 3196s | thing there's a unique staff that's in |
| 3199s | the game that originally was being |
| 3200s | designed is supposed to try and be a an |
| 3202s | unarmed |
| 3204s | weapon and and like about two years |
| 3207s | after that we made our first maybe even |
| 3209s | longer we made our first um like unarmed |
| 3212s | weapon in a pair of |
| 3218s | gloves so nothing yet but maybe |
| 3222s | soon I see someone else steam deck uh |
| 3224s | verification on the menu we're working |
| 3226s | on it we are working on it um I don't |
| 3230s | think we quite got that check mark ready |
| 3232s | yet um but I know we've like submitted a |
| 3235s | few builds for checks and things like |
| 3236s | like that so it is it is in in uh |
| 3242s | development I don't think it's quite |
| 3243s | there |
| 3246s | yet uh with regards to factions uh based |
| 3249s | on what you just said uh will future |
| 3251s | factions be obtainable alongside the |
| 3253s | current two or is it intended that you |
| 3255s | only ever affiliated with one at a time |
| 3257s | we do intend that you will obtain and |
| 3259s | track multiple factions |
| 3261s | simultaneously um this is something |
| 3264s | we've talked about before but I think |
| 3265s | only on stream so I'm not surprised that |
| 3267s | it's not just se but like here's |
| 3271s | the here's the diagram I usually draw so |
| 3273s | like if if you've got um the the one box |
| 3276s | of um got mg and you got CF and then uh |
| 3283s | and you have to pick one of those two |
| 3284s | and they're mutually exclusive and then |
| 3286s | maybe you've got another one over here |
| 3289s | that's like r r |
| 3291s | rpr1 and you've got here that's like |
| 3295s | fg3 um and mutually exclusive with each |
| 3297s | other I'm just putting random things in |
| 3299s | here please don't try and figure out |
| 3300s | what that is I don't know uh and then |
| 3303s | maybe you've even got another one in |
| 3304s | here that's like |
| 3307s | hbg |
| 3309s | four I don't |
| 3311s | know |
| 3312s | um and so like you can pick like I'm |
| 3315s | going to be uh you come through and |
| 3317s | you're like okay well I'm going to I'm |
| 3319s | going to |
| 3320s | play I'm going to play cof and I'm going |
| 3322s | to play pg1 I'm going to play and and |
| 3324s | you get this one as well so you get all |
| 3326s | three of these you track them all |
| 3327s | individually um and you're like oh okay |
| 3329s | well I actually don't want to see if I'm |
| 3331s | going to switch over this one that's |
| 3332s | fine and like they they all exist in |
| 3334s | their own like little ecosystems |
| 3345s | almost started adding the numbers in so |
| 3347s | it would be more ridiculous I don't know |
| 3349s | why I started labeling them at |
| 3354s | all all right will they further develop |
| 3357s | of factions in the future could we see |
| 3359s | lean towards more pee Atlas style |
| 3361s | experience with like factions tree and |
| 3364s | such |
| 3366s | um it's possible we we did design the UI |
| 3370s | for it to be |
| 3372s | um I guess to be more of a like a |
| 3376s | separate UI that tracks all the faction |
| 3378s | stuff independently with like we we've |
| 3381s | got UI set up for it you'll see it |
| 3383s | eventually |
| 3389s | I will not die |
| 3399s | here oh rmer you're here yeah come join |
| 3402s | me on stream that'd be cool not right |
| 3409s | now this month's charity oh no uh any |
| 3412s | chance you guys ever stop using Unity |
| 3414s | kind of feels like a lot of the |
| 3415s | performance stuff is tied to using an |
| 3417s | engine not made for RPGs |
| 3420s | no um switching an engine off like to to |
| 3423s | a completely different engine right now |
| 3428s | um are you guys okay if we take like a |
| 3431s | two-year break from releasing content |
| 3433s | like probably |
| 3435s | not um I I I don't think switching |
| 3438s | engines is uh really feasible for us |
| 3442s | we've been working on an engine upgrade |
| 3443s | like so a new version of unity it's |
| 3446s | going to help a lot of things |
| 3450s | um you know it's it's we we get I fairly |
| 3454s | frequently get asked the question like |
| 3456s | hey if you could go back and do it again |
| 3458s | would you avoid using UD would would you |
| 3460s | have used something else instead if you |
| 3462s | could if you have the like knowing what |
| 3463s | you know now going all that stuff I and |
| 3466s | I and I genuinely think the answer is |
| 3469s | no mostly because like I don't know if |
| 3471s | we would have managed to get this far |
| 3473s | without unity in the first place um and |
| 3475s | so it's and and then at the same time it |
| 3477s | is also just kind of too late to switch |
| 3479s | and and have that be a reasonable idea |
| 3482s | to |
| 3493s | do that's it that's all the questions I |
| 3497s | actually caught up |
| 3499s | Midstream love |
| 3502s | it if I missed one cuz um and you would |
| 3505s | want to ask it again please put that |
| 3506s | last de |
| 3508s | game last de 2 on a new engine yeah |
| 3510s | there you |
| 3516s | go am I standing or sitting down I am |
| 3520s | standing my hand is my the palm of my |
| 3523s | hand is flat on the ceiling right now |
| 3524s | you can see how bent my arm is still |
| 3527s | this is this is my hand is just touching |
| 3528s | the |
| 3532s | ceiling it's right there several times I |
| 3536s | accidentally punched it get excited like |
| 3538s | like something happens I'm like yeah I |
| 3540s | did it |
| 3545s | boom not |
| 3547s | die who's your favorite sg1 character |
| 3550s | and why is it t I've been asked this |
| 3551s | before that's it's I love teal |
| 3554s | Christopher Jud such a good job no my |
| 3556s | favorite character is O'Neal I it's |
| 3558s | just his his I don't know |
| 3562s | aloofness really clicks for me |
| 3570s | but the whole the whole the whole gang's |
| 3582s | great Carter run her |
| 3586s | up she wrote and like directed a bunch I |
| 3589s | she wrote she directed I think a bunch |
| 3591s | of |
| 3592s | Travelers which was also fantastic |
| 3596s | she was in it as |
| 3606s | well time for a spoiler vat we're do so |
| 3609s | so today I've got uh we're not doing |
| 3611s | little things this week I've got one |
| 3612s | really big thing for you this |
| 3614s | week yeah here I was going to do it |
| 3616s | right as I get to the boss |
| 3619s | fight I was going to use the boss fight |
| 3621s | to explain a little bit |
| 3631s | sorry haven't been following the updates |
| 3632s | for all that's all right will there be |
| 3634s | an update about uh |
| 3636s | ADR we change your move to say the same |
| 3639s | like um every talking about like |
| 3641s | adaptive the boss production boss Dr yes |
| 3644s | if you look at the title of the stream |
| 3646s | I'm going to talk about that |
| 3647s | today um yeah we are removing it adapt |
| 3651s | Le we just talk about it now um adapted |
| 3653s | boss damage reduction is getting cut for |
| 3655s | 1.1 it will no longer be something that |
| 3658s | exists in |
| 3660s | last so the big the big feedback we've |
| 3663s | been getting a lot with |
| 3665s | it um I I guess we can go over some |
| 3667s | goals first then talk about feedback so |
| 3669s | one one of the goals of a system like |
| 3670s | this that we have is um you know having |
| 3674s | having the bosses not just be instad |
| 3676s | deleted while also not having the while |
| 3680s | slightly raining in the difference |
| 3683s | between a oh my God WTF epic OP build |
| 3687s | and uh hey look what I built in my spare |
| 3690s | time for fun type builds um thank you |
| 3693s | very much for the sub Loco John DK thank |
| 3698s | you |
| 3700s | um might be interested in this the uh |
| 3704s | and so yeah so that's the main things |
| 3706s | the boss boss adaptive boss is doing um |
| 3709s | and how let's talk about I guess how it |
| 3711s | does |
| 3712s | that um so how it does that is by uh it |
| 3716s | gives gives the boss a bunch of um |
| 3719s | damage reduction to start so you like |
| 3721s | boss spawns in and has a bunch of damage |
| 3723s | reduction um and then just the straight |
| 3728s | multiplicative Dr and um as time passes |
| 3732s | where you are not dealing damage to the |
| 3736s | boss that just falls off that that erods |
| 3739s | that Fades away so you it's it it's |
| 3741s | Vanishing and |
| 3743s | disappearing uh and eventually it just |
| 3744s | get back to normal just just normal flat |
| 3747s | damage um and then anytime you are spent |
| 3749s | damaging the boss depending on how fast |
| 3751s | you're damaging the boss and how much |
| 3752s | you're damaging the boss it will gain |
| 3754s | more Dr so um the boss will as you heard |
| 3758s | it more it takes less damage as you |
| 3759s | heard it less it takes more damage |
| 3761s | pretty simple um it is built in such a |
| 3764s | way that |
| 3766s | um the fastest way to kill a boss is by |
| 3769s | just killing the boss there's no like oh |
| 3771s | slow DPS here to get a a slingshot boost |
| 3774s | and kill it real fast like it's it's it |
| 3776s | reacts instantly mid ability and |
| 3778s | everything so it's like you're there's |
| 3781s | there is no really gaming the system um |
| 3783s | which is good but at the same time it |
| 3786s | does it does leave people where they're |
| 3788s | like okay this like they go to a test I |
| 3790s | me like oh this meteor hits for 10,000 |
| 3793s | damage you go to boss think oh this |
| 3794s | meteor hits for 1,000 damage |
| 3798s | great that's awesome and and there's |
| 3801s | this the that that feeling um has been |
| 3804s | giving us we've been getting a lot of |
| 3805s | feedback on that feeling being not so |
| 3809s | awesome um so we are really looking at |
| 3813s | placing the system with something that |
| 3815s | achieves the same goals um makes the |
| 3817s | boss fights more interesting more |
| 3819s | Dynamic and |
| 3821s | um you know still lets your numbers be |
| 3824s | big still lets you um you know really |
| 3828s | have a a a good feeling of hey I got |
| 3830s | this new sword it does more damage and |
| 3831s | now I do more damage and I kill the boss |
| 3834s | that proportionately faster ATT so like |
| 3838s | like we are um when we when we do remove |
| 3842s | adapted boss damage we are replacing it |
| 3844s | with something else I don't want to |
| 3846s | stand in this I want my dude |
| 3849s | back just killed |
| 3853s | him um so what what are we replacing it |
| 3856s | with uh we figured it would be best to |
| 3859s | replace it with something that is um |
| 3862s | that leverages existing in-game systems |
| 3864s | already for for defenses something that |
| 3867s | is really easy to communicate to the |
| 3869s | player what's happening how how like how |
| 3872s | it works what's H like what's going on |
| 3874s | all that sort of stuff um where there's |
| 3875s | not really a like hey why isn't my |
| 3880s | damage like why is my damage nerfed so |
| 3881s | much then they have to like go look in |
| 3883s | the game guide like find out why this is |
| 3884s | happening or they go to the forums and |
| 3885s | things like that it's this like |
| 3886s | confusion point it's just like it |
| 3888s | doesn't feel good and it's like oh okay |
| 3890s | then this is like can I can I do |
| 3891s | anything to play around this to play |
| 3892s | better oh then you find no I can't it's |
| 3894s | like it just feels it doesn't feel whole |
| 3896s | experience kind of sucks right now and |
| 3898s | so we we're trying to um Target that |
| 3901s | feeling and bring back the |
| 3905s | like boss fights in general to be a |
| 3907s | little more fun just just from switching |
| 3908s | that system |
| 3916s | up brief pause for some questions to |
| 3918s | catch up on favorite Star Trek Voyager |
| 3920s | for |
| 3921s | sure um your item in game currently |
| 3931s | I mean I love the silly stuff so |
| 3932s | probably the |
| 3934s | spoon |
| 3936s | uh if there was one thing you allowed to |
| 3938s | change about Le no questions ask what a |
| 3939s | b and Y weapon swap you'd have two |
| 3941s | weapons build swap weapons I've still |
| 3942s | got a version locally that I can do it |
| 3944s | none of you can have it um is there a |
| 3946s | way to find out what the secondary |
| 3948s | Elemental types are for each class like |
| 3950s | how Mage and void or second I say like M |
| 3951s | and void is like tertiary uh because it |
| 3954s | only exists in items |
| 3958s | um but I mean just like coming here if |
| 3960s | you see it on |
| 3962s | like three or fewer abilities if you see |
| 3965s | like a little little icon on three or |
| 3967s | fewer abilities I would call it a |
| 3968s | secondary element for that |
| 3972s | class and if you see it on none but it's |
| 3974s | possible to get |
| 3977s | tertiary uh the campaign story has been |
| 3979s | completed uh hasn't been completed yet U |
| 3983s | is what I think this meant to say since |
| 3985s | you like Legend of Zelda series could we |
| 3986s | battle against our Shadow Self our void |
| 3989s | self in the future I mean that's there's |
| 3991s | there's there's I I think that's that's |
| 3992s | on the table and we've kind of pulled |
| 3994s | elements of that in a little bitsh with |
| 3997s | the arena Champions uh and the like um |
| 4001s | forgotten Knight kind of got some |
| 4002s | visuals of that there and then also the |
| 4005s | Exile Mages feel a little bit like that |
| 4007s | and there's some other stuff that's |
| 4009s | coming too soon that we'll have that |
| 4012s | theming even |
| 4014s | stronger so yes keep an eye |
| 4017s | out all right about permanent CC on |
| 4021s | bosses yep that's um we're also |
| 4023s | addressing permanent CC on bosses if you |
| 4025s | like there's there's a threshold where |
| 4026s | like if you're epic enough you can still |
| 4028s | do it um but it's we're definitely |
| 4031s | restricting it a lot |
| 4033s | more |
| 4036s | yeah I do have a little clip to show you |
| 4038s | where it does pery see the boss but I |
| 4039s | would like pref this with like this is |
| 4041s | the absolute epic dis out character |
| 4043s | possible yes that's a word as of now you |
| 4046s | confident that your endgame addictions |
| 4048s | uh |
| 4051s | addition endgame additions next cycle |
| 4054s | will be enough to keep the player |
| 4055s | engaged after the campaign I mean I |
| 4057s | think it's going to improve it I think |
| 4057s | there's going to be lots of cool new |
| 4058s | stuff to do um so we we'll see I think |
| 4061s | it's going to be a a significant |
| 4063s | Improvement of what we have currently |
| 4065s | and it's I mean everyone's everyone's a |
| 4067s | little bit different on how much they |
| 4067s | like to play |
| 4071s | um |
| 4073s | yeah all right um |
| 4077s | appreciate voyaging with TNG I say TNG |
| 4079s | close second TNG is the only other one |
| 4081s | that I will like that I've rewatched |
| 4083s | more than |
| 4093s | twice original series is great it's a |
| 4095s | little too short um and like it was |
| 4097s | still finding its |
| 4098s | footing um I think Enterprise gets a bad |
| 4102s | rap I think it's better than you |
| 4103s | remember it just fast forward through |
| 4104s | that intro song |
| 4106s | um I think I think the new the new year |
| 4109s | is fantastic and and those are all the |
| 4111s | Star Trek that |
| 4113s | exist sitting on a St space station is |
| 4116s | not trekking through the |
| 4118s | Stars oh yes can I expand once actually |
| 4121s | be replaced in the adapter D system will |
| 4122s | be absolutely I'd love to um I've been |
| 4125s | kind of stalling till I get to the boss |
| 4126s | fight a little bit here um so I'll just |
| 4129s | I guess I'll just talk about here we're |
| 4130s | using |
| 4131s | Ward um so Ward is uh already a system |
| 4135s | that's built into last Epoch for having |
| 4137s | temporary uh a temporary Shield |
| 4141s | um I think this is a pretty natural uh |
| 4146s | option and anyone who's been following |
| 4147s | along is probably not very surprised by |
| 4149s | this um so what's going to |
| 4157s | happen they not showing |
| 4159s | up oh no oh no I wasn't going to show |
| 4163s | that right |
| 4164s | away that was the little video I've |
| 4167s | got there it goes okay so here's an |
| 4170s | example of what a uh a health bar an |
| 4174s | enemy boss health bar may look like in |
| 4178s | uh |
| 4180s | 1.1 little clip for you can see an |
| 4182s | action to in a second um so what this |
| 4184s | what we'll break down what's happening |
| 4186s | here um so every every boss uh and |
| 4190s | almost every mini boss so not uh not |
| 4193s | every mini boss but most of them do have |
| 4196s | these little Pips you see um this little |
| 4199s | Pip this one this one and here's here's |
| 4201s | one that's been activated um and so |
| 4203s | these are like these for maasa at the |
| 4205s | end of The Campaign which I still |
| 4206s | haven't done in this character uh these |
| 4208s | are these are the four uh so has four |
| 4210s | break points and so we can um pick and |
| 4213s | choose based on which boss it is how |
| 4215s | many break points it has I can have any |
| 4217s | number of them really and um as you get |
| 4221s | their health down to that point so |
| 4222s | you're fighting the boss fighting the |
| 4223s | boss the boss you get to this point and |
| 4225s | it gets it it's in right it gets a |
| 4227s | portion of its Health back as Ward when |
| 4229s | you hit this point so you get to this |
| 4230s | point uh and it gets a it gets a brief |
| 4233s | stun so it does stun the boss you to the |
| 4235s | point and then it fills up its health |
| 4236s | bar with |
| 4238s | Ward um and the the ward amount right |
| 4241s | now I think is 75% of its Max Health |
| 4244s | we're still adjusting that so it's it's |
| 4246s | somewhere between somewhere in the range |
| 4249s | of three quarters of its health is |
| 4250s | probably going to be the amount of w |
| 4252s | that it gets and that might become |
| 4253s | variable per boss as well um having it |
| 4256s | be consistent probably better in |
| 4259s | general um and then so unlike normal |
| 4263s | Ward this Ward it the Decay rate is |
| 4267s | inverted from what normal Ward is so |
| 4269s | normal Ward um actually this normal Ward |
| 4272s | is based on the decay of Ward is based |
| 4275s | on the amount of total Ward you have so |
| 4277s | if you have 10,000 Ward your ward decays |
| 4279s | faster than if you have 1,000 Ward |
| 4281s | bosses are different uh when a boss gets |
| 4283s | Ward its Ward Decay rate increas es with |
| 4286s | time so the longer the boss has Ward the |
| 4288s | faster that Ward |
| 4290s | disappears um so if you have some sort |
| 4293s | of like a huge combo that you can set up |
| 4296s | to do a bunch of Spike damage um you can |
| 4298s | do that as it's as the ward is getting |
| 4301s | low or as it's like emptying and then |
| 4304s | you can Spike to the next one if you |
| 4305s | want so there's there's a little bit of |
| 4306s | counterplay there there's a little bit |
| 4307s | of ways you can like actually adjust |
| 4309s | your play if you really want to minmax |
| 4310s | your combat mechanics themselves um |
| 4313s | which I think I think is a really |
| 4314s | positive thing to have especially when |
| 4316s | it is displayed somewhere that is um |
| 4318s | more |
| 4323s | intuitive |
| 4325s | um I have |
| 4330s | notes oh yeah and we can position the |
| 4332s | break points not evenly spaced if we |
| 4334s | want we can put them wherever we want um |
| 4336s | and a few times we do mess with them a |
| 4337s | little bit so sometimes we'll use the |
| 4338s | break points as also phase change |
| 4341s | indicators so it's like you get to this |
| 4342s | break point and like there's a phase |
| 4344s | change that happens at this break point |
| 4345s | so it's this really natural clean break |
| 4346s | it's really obvious what's happening um |
| 4349s | and |
| 4351s | then five to car increases with |
| 4354s | time oh yeah and then like tankier boss |
| 4356s | the rate that the W Decay rate increases |
| 4358s | at um is different for different types |
| 4361s | of bosses thank you heavy very much for |
| 4363s | the 10 gifted Subs to the community |
| 4364s | congrats anyone who got one of those |
| 4366s | that's big uh yeah I know you've been |
| 4369s | trying it here um hope you've been |
| 4372s | enjoying it I I take it you probably |
| 4373s | have given that reaction |
| 4377s | um yeah so so like if there's like a |
| 4379s | really tanky boss maybe we'll like make |
| 4380s | the Decay rate increase a little bit |
| 4382s | slower um things like that and then uh |
| 4385s | yeah so I've got a little video to show |
| 4387s | you about how um how this looks in the |
| 4389s | fight and so this is um kind of two |
| 4392s | things one to just show you how it flows |
| 4393s | it's a very short clip I just want to |
| 4395s | preface this by saying this this this |
| 4396s | character is as like decked out as you |
| 4400s | can possibly have it is super mega super |
| 4403s | super mega |
| 4407s | um like this this character is epic um |
| 4410s | and so this is fighting a um an |
| 4413s | empowered 220 |
| 4416s | corruption |
| 4419s | um uh what's it |
| 4423s | called abomb it's the a bomb so the end |
| 4426s | of the first monolith uh 220 corruption |
| 4428s | so it is a |
| 4432s | um a beefy boss fight |
| 4440s | if this is playing audio or not um yes |
| 4442s | you can see there it's getting Ward next |
| 4444s | Point getting through the ward there you |
| 4446s | go so yeah this is extremely buff |
| 4459s | character I do this so it gets a full |
| 4461s | cycle through the clip without anything |
| 4463s | popping up over top of it |
| 4465s | um so this is what this is what boss |
| 4467s | Ward's going to look like so you still |
| 4468s | can if you are um this is why I'm |
| 4471s | pressing this with the per CC thing |
| 4473s | because it is this this character is |
| 4474s | specifically designed to show this |
| 4476s | extremely quickly because we're just |
| 4477s | showing the um this boss Dr system or |
| 4482s | not Dr system oh my goodness Dr system |
| 4483s | replacement the war system so this is um |
| 4488s | specifically set up to be happening |
| 4490s | really quickly and per Freeze's |
| 4492s | character it is not a real situation |
| 4502s | all right now I'm sure there's a bunch |
| 4504s | of questions on that let's answer some |
| 4506s | of |
| 4510s | those does the word Decay the word does |
| 4512s | Decay the word decays um naturally just |
| 4515s | like word normally decays and then as uh |
| 4519s | as uh time goes on it decays faster and |
| 4523s | faster so you'll you'll um you you get a |
| 4526s | this is where you get that like slight |
| 4527s | normalization effect so builds that are |
| 4529s | a little doing a little bit less damage |
| 4531s | overall will um get to catch up a tiny |
| 4534s | bit in the sense it's not like a huge |
| 4535s | shift but it's just like it's a tiny |
| 4537s | little bit of normalization that happens |
| 4541s | um but if you've got the deeps just push |
| 4554s | through will it be a way to pierce the |
| 4556s | boss Ward I mean no it's like you got to |
| 4558s | get through the |
| 4561s | ward just like how like enemies have to |
| 4563s | get through your ward I guess there |
| 4565s | there is there is one way that enemies |
| 4568s | can get bypass your Wards but that is |
| 4571s | percent current health damage so it |
| 4572s | never kills |
| 4578s | you in the temporal sanctum dungeon Jula |
| 4581s | at some point how can they manipulate |
| 4583s | time maybe I missed it but who is they |
| 4586s | you are they we are |
| 4588s | they the player character is they the J |
| 4591s | is not really talking to you they're |
| 4592s | kind of using to |
| 4602s | themselves all right assuming you have a |
| 4604s | build that can theoretically break |
| 4605s | multiple thresholds I |
| 4608s | oh watching the screen a little bit um |
| 4612s | IE an attack on the boss could get it a |
| 4614s | second word breakpoint would gain two |
| 4615s | instances of the ward well see yeah so |
| 4617s | like it goes through all of the damage |
| 4619s | so um if you had one hit that could get |
| 4622s | from like a break point to like and |
| 4626s | through the Ward from that breakpoint |
| 4628s | and then through the health to the next |
| 4629s | breako you know and then it would |
| 4631s | trigger the second one at the end of |
| 4632s | that yeah like it goes it applies all |
| 4634s | the damage sequentially and it works |
| 4636s | properly so there is there is a fixed |
| 4639s | maximum Total Health that if you could |
| 4642s | deal that fixed total maximum health and |
| 4644s | plus all the W break points all in one |
| 4646s | hit right at the very start |
| 4647s | theoretically you could kill it in one |
| 4648s | hit um but it's a lot like it's it's |
| 4652s | it's designed such way that like it |
| 4653s | discourages that a little bit that |
| 4655s | extreme case because when you're |
| 4656s | fighting the boss it is assumed that |
| 4658s | there's a little bit of time in that war |
| 4660s | Decay threshold that war Decay time |
| 4662s | where the Decay is helping you speed it |
| 4664s | up a little bit as |
| 4669s | well so you'll you'll almost unless |
| 4671s | you're doing that extreme case you won't |
| 4672s | ever be doing the maximum amount of |
| 4675s | total HP and Ward combine damage to the |
| 4677s | boss cuz some of it decays |
| 4681s | naturally uh out of curiosity why do you |
| 4683s | as a team feel the game needs a system |
| 4685s | like this for Boss Health um I mean |
| 4688s | mostly the reasons I went over earlier |
| 4690s | um |
| 4695s | there's talking |
| 4698s | about um you know there's a there's |
| 4701s | sometimes a pretty big distinction in um |
| 4706s | boss killing |
| 4708s | power um and having those bosses like |
| 4712s | having them actually do their mechanics |
| 4714s | and having them actually like play out a |
| 4715s | little bit and be the boss fight we want |
| 4718s | them to be is is important to us is |
| 4720s | something that we think is important for |
| 4721s | the game and important for the challenge |
| 4722s | of completing the the dungeon or |
| 4724s | monolith or whatever they're |
| 4725s | representing you know actually fighting |
| 4727s | the boss is important |
| 4744s | since Ward will be adjusted can you |
| 4746s | please add a new beard blocking |
| 4752s | mechanic sorry I don't think that'll |
| 4754s | work |
| 4757s | well uh does it stun every boss seem |
| 4759s | like every High DPS build will stun lock |
| 4761s | them every time the the little um the |
| 4765s | little stun that's that happens when it |
| 4767s | does hit one of those break points um is |
| 4771s | is like very very brief it's more of an |
| 4774s | interrupt than a |
| 4778s | stun in the vast majority of cases stun |
| 4781s | locking we it's something that we are |
| 4785s | addressing what you saw in that clip I |
| 4787s | want to reiterate is a very much extreme |
| 4789s | case this is like we went into a build |
| 4791s | editor and we're like C we like what |
| 4794s | possible number numers could we put in |
| 4795s | here and I think we just like added the |
| 4796s | artificial damage button onto that type |
| 4798s | thing so it's it's |
| 4804s | like that was a buff |
| 4812s | character the go the goal of giving the |
| 4814s | reason why we have such a ridiculously |
| 4816s | buff character in that video is two |
| 4817s | things one is to show that um if if you |
| 4821s | are going like going ham you can still |
| 4824s | have these ridiculously powerful builds |
| 4827s | um and you do scale relative to your |
| 4828s | content which I think is something that |
| 4829s | people want to have where you're like my |
| 4832s | character is better so I kill things |
| 4833s | faster like that's a pretty fundamental |
| 4835s | thing to have |
| 4837s | happened um and I think a concern about |
| 4840s | a system like this frequently is can I |
| 4842s | still Crush stuff quite quickly if I'm |
| 4845s | very very very |
| 4848s | powerful the answer is |
| 4850s | yes and also just to keep the clip short |
| 4860s | overall is the goal for the system to be |
| 4861s | fairly equal to the old system in terms |
| 4863s | of how tanky bosses are for any given |
| 4865s | amount of damage |
| 4869s | dealt relatively similar yes um like |
| 4873s | some bosses will be more tanky some |
| 4874s | bosses will be less tanky some bosses |
| 4875s | will be more tanky against specific |
| 4878s | strategies and some bosses will be less |
| 4879s | tanky against those so I think it's it's |
| 4882s | less of a one to one and more of a |
| 4889s | adjustment I think one of the personally |
| 4891s | for me one of the reasons I really like |
| 4892s | it so much is that it does it does |
| 4894s | inject a little bit of counterplay into |
| 4895s | the system where players can adjust |
| 4897s | their play style they can save up |
| 4899s | cooldowns um and things like that to to |
| 4901s | to actually affect how fast they can |
| 4903s | kill the boss if they are really going |
| 4904s | to minmax it and then players who who |
| 4906s | aren't going to care that much about |
| 4907s | that Min maxing side of things are are |
| 4909s | still going to have a fun experience |
| 4911s | with boss fights |
| 4917s | and it's and it's not hiding stuff it's |
| 4918s | not hiding stuff behind um hidden |
| 4922s | mechanics it's it's there it's in your |
| 4923s | face it's very clear what what's |
| 4928s | happening so one shoting boss is still |
| 4931s | prevented due to the nature of how Ward |
| 4933s | suddenly appears I mean it is possible |
| 4935s | to one shot but the the one shot the |
| 4937s | amount of the amount of more damage you |
| 4940s | need uh relative like to relative to now |
| 4943s | to one shot a boss it's harder to one |
| 4945s | shot a boss now like just straight up |
| 4946s | one shot it um but it |
| 4950s | is um it is still |
| 4959s | possible this the exact same to kill me |
| 4961s | last time |
| 4982s | that's that frzy TM I told you |
| 4993s | to Mike dies |
| 4997s | Bingo |
| 5000s | uh Mike can you please talk more about |
| 5003s | what was announced about the that event |
| 5005s | what was announced um the if you're |
| 5007s | talking talking about |
| 5009s | the |
| 5011s | um the light before the dark thing |
| 5022s | um oh I've just been told there's |
| 5024s | actually um even more uniques than I |
| 5026s | thought there was |
| 5035s | like about double last |
| 5040s | time um I I don't know anything more |
| 5043s | about the event that just got announced |
| 5044s | this the the story race event I am |
| 5046s | completely in the |
| 5048s | dark I have no |
| 5054s | idea how long will next season be we are |
| 5056s | aiming still at 3 to |
| 5058s | 4,000 |
| 5061s | um uh three or 4 thousand |
| 5065s | three to four |
| 5066s | months three to four months is our um |
| 5069s | our |
| 5070s | go-to uh time for Cycles right |
| 5076s | now uh if you want your question |
| 5078s | answered you should tag me yes good |
| 5080s | question let's see what the question |
| 5085s | was are you nerfing overpowering items |
| 5087s | like Twisted heart are you nerfing |
| 5089s | overpowered build archetype items uh |
| 5091s | frostbite shackles and snow drifts I |
| 5094s | don't have any specific details on |
| 5095s | what's getting nerfed or buffed um I |
| 5098s | will say that there is a uh there's tons |
| 5101s | of Nerfs and Buffs all over the place um |
| 5104s | builds that were previously able to |
| 5106s | reach several thousand corruption levels |
| 5109s | will still be incredibly powerful builds |
| 5112s | um relative to the other builds that are |
| 5113s | out there but I would not aspire to |
| 5115s | being able to reach several thousand |
| 5116s | corruption anymore |
| 5151s | note to S I cannot survive that attack |
| 5154s | for this world once more how much I |
| 5158s | think I |
| 5172s | can myen will out there |
| 5182s | guys this h this |
| 5186s | despair Oblivion |
| 5192s | Burns yeah we're going to be a little |
| 5194s | bit quiet cuz Mike's going to try and |
| 5195s | focus and not |
| 5197s | die Mike's void res his |
| 5204s | seven I hit space to evade |
| 5210s | again it's it's my my thumb is just like |
| 5212s | yeah evade you got it evade nope |
| 5217s | oh |
| 5221s | h i I think I think we should do like |
| 5224s | let's just go back and try again let's |
| 5226s | get some void reses under our belt and |
| 5228s | try again after that sound good |
| 5232s | yep oh we got to complete the campaign |
| 5235s | okay we've got we've got like uh 37 |
| 5238s | minutes left like let's |
| 5241s | oh let's go finish the campaign |
| 5260s | yeah fine probably had to walk back I'm |
| 5263s | going to do it I want I want I want to |
| 5264s | beat the campaign |
| 5266s | here |
| 5270s | okay uh what do you offer players for |
| 5273s | each year of them owning playing the |
| 5274s | game for example Happy game birthday |
| 5276s | here's your 5,000 gold uh we don't have |
| 5278s | anything like that right now um I it's a |
| 5281s | cool |
| 5284s | idea |
| 5287s | um I don't know I could I could see |
| 5289s | there being some sort of like cosmetic |
| 5290s | that went with that um but we don't we |
| 5292s | don't have anything like |
| 5294s | that there's there's I think there's a |
| 5297s | danger in doing something like that |
| 5299s | because as soon as you have things where |
| 5300s | it's like um it's impossible to get this |
| 5303s | thing anymore because it's been like the |
| 5306s | game's been out for 10 years and like |
| 5309s | the 10th birthday prize is this you know |
| 5311s | it doesn't really work too well um for |
| 5313s | like new players just being locked out |
| 5315s | of things and it's cool to get prizes |
| 5317s | and things like that H I think if we |
| 5319s | were going to do we we don't we don't |
| 5321s | like that planned right now but I do |
| 5322s | like the idea and if we were to do |
| 5323s | something like that I would advocate for |
| 5325s | it being um I why in the circle more of |
| 5329s | a like here's this is this is what we've |
| 5332s | been doing to teach our kid how to poop |
| 5335s | um if |
| 5336s | you you get like a box of prizes and you |
| 5339s | say like um like hey you can like here |
| 5344s | here's your birthday prize and it's you |
| 5346s | can pick one of these five things for |
| 5348s | your birthday prize I think that's I |
| 5350s | that's the better way to do it so that |
| 5351s | there's like um a new player could come |
| 5354s | in and get any one of the birthday |
| 5355s | prizes on their first year or something |
| 5357s | like |
| 5357s | that but like someone who's been around |
| 5359s | forever has all of them type |
| 5361s | thing so there's one that's really |
| 5363s | exciting for somebody they can still get |
| 5364s | it they're not locked out of it waiting |
| 5366s | for 10 years to get the one that they |
| 5367s | really |
| 5385s | want our gears like basically the same |
| 5388s | as last time we came to try this so like |
| 5389s | I don't know why I'm expecting this to |
| 5390s | be so much easier not like almost |
| 5392s | nothing has changed |
| 5397s | cannot |
| 5400s | Beed I'm not sure if this was asked uh |
| 5403s | but are there any plans to add more |
| 5405s | refined criteria to the loot filter |
| 5406s | system we do have some plans for |
| 5408s | improving the loot filter |
| 5410s | um there's there probably not all of the |
| 5414s | things you're hoping for if you're |
| 5415s | asking this question but we are |
| 5417s | expanding what it has a uh access to um |
| 5419s | and then we're also working on some |
| 5420s | backend changes that will allow us to do |
| 5422s | some other things so there's there's |
| 5424s | some knock on effects of some decisions |
| 5426s | we made previously for networking stack |
| 5429s | stuff that has to get changed before we |
| 5430s | can |
| 5432s | change CH know sounds kind of |
| 5444s | weird sometimes you just like well it |
| 5446s | doesn't need to know this data so you |
| 5448s | like lock it out recognize that weapon |
| 5451s | huh |
| 5458s | all |
| 5460s | right uh any plans introduce a unique |
| 5463s | that makes meteor uh from fire to cold I |
| 5466s | would say unlikely but |
| 5474s | possible usually cold meteor is called |
| 5476s | Comet |
| 5477s | Right Aid me nothing can stop me nothing |
| 5484s | don't |
| 5486s | crying out in |
| 5487s | despair however the void came here must |
| 5491s | drive it |
| 5492s | back there's |
| 5497s | a can't remember what show it was on |
| 5499s | there's some British show there uh |
| 5501s | miming |
| 5503s | out show miming out |
| 5507s | the song like they M out songs of in |
| 5509s | dance just to people who got headphones |
| 5511s | on it trying guess what song is that one |
| 5513s | was fantastic |
| 5523s | what do you think uh like any frostbite |
| 5525s | build is required to use shackles plus |
| 5527s | snow drip which is just boring I you're |
| 5528s | saying there are things we do trying to |
| 5530s | increase the diversity there to be your |
| 5533s | sacrifice |
| 5535s | disgraceful how is it possible to |
| 5537s | download a sound file of zerk dying I |
| 5540s | don't think so |
| 5542s | not um it might buried in this the game |
| 5545s | file somewhere I don't know if it's |
| 5546s | extractable or not how many hours play |
| 5548s | do you have on last eoch according to |
| 5550s | steam uh this is this is a tricky one |
| 5553s | because it is basically just what I've |
| 5556s | played on stream because when we're |
| 5558s | playing on our uh like in the editor and |
| 5561s | in test spells and things like that it |
| 5562s | doesn't it it count it tracks it on a |
| 5564s | different counter um but right now it is |
| 5567s | sitting at an embarrassingly low get out |
| 5570s | of my mind |
| 5575s | 1, 100 or |
| 5578s | 1,2 which if you divide that by two is |
| 5581s | that the number of streams I've done |
| 5608s | you met Ted now have you considered |
| 5610s | something like the amount of war the |
| 5611s | boss gains is directly tied to how long |
| 5613s | it took to get them to the break |
| 5615s | point um so you don't punish lower |
| 5617s | damaging builds for example if you took |
| 5619s | 1 second to get there from the break |
| 5621s | point it fills 100% re W bar you took 5 |
| 5623s | Seconds to get there from the break |
| 5624s | point it FS yes we have considered |
| 5626s | something like that it does it adds |
| 5628s | another layer of like obfuscation of |
| 5630s | like what's happening in the mechanics |
| 5631s | and part of what we're trying to do this |
| 5633s | with this is have it be a little |
| 5634s | intuitive so having that amount of w |
| 5636s | that it gains um be a static fixed |
| 5638s | amount is uh something that we are |
| 5640s | really interested in |
| 5643s | maintaining |
| 5645s | um |
| 5648s | having uh the the the way that the W |
| 5650s | decays does also already um provide that |
| 5654s | uh that that little bit of a shift for |
| 5658s | um like slower builds to to to catch up |
| 5661s | a little |
| 5663s | bit because because it starts to Decay |
| 5664s | faster and faster as you go um so builds |
| 5667s | that take longer to get through the ward |
| 5668s | we'll have the ward just disappear on |
| 5670s | its own a little bit |
| 5689s | faster over |
| 5698s | get out of my mind yay I did it first |
| 5701s | try no problem woohoo it's |
| 5709s | over there's your 20208 Christmas hat |
| 5712s | nice version of |
| 5716s | that uh you can do it via the gifted uh |
| 5720s | item you can do it via the gifted |
| 5727s | my monitor there was blocking one of the |
| 5748s | letters that's a bug |
| 5765s | little aggressive of a uh jump out of |
| 5767s | the way see right there like in |
| 5769s | especially in like |
| 5770s | M um talking we've been talking about |
| 5772s | the evade mechanic and the relative |
| 5774s | power of melee to range with the evade |
| 5776s | mechanic and this this fight is is a |
| 5778s | perfect example of why I I've been |
| 5780s | saying that melee is really good with EV |
| 5782s | cuz that that type of that attack |
| 5784s | especially and the shape that that con |
| 5786s | attack has where you're standing evade |
| 5788s | at melee is enough to get you out of it |
| 5790s | but evade at range is not really enough |
| 5791s | to get you out of it unless you're like |
| 5793s | really far away already but like it's as |
| 5796s | far as like a difference from what we |
| 5797s | have now what we're getting with a vade |
| 5798s | aftera it's it's a I think it it has a |
| 5801s | better um moment to moment impact on |
| 5804s | your gameplay in a in a boss fight as a |
| 5807s | in character |
| 5817s | you stop this |
| 5820s | sorcery this would this would be so much |
| 5824s | easier if you had died with her no |
| 5827s | matter you think this is over yeah I do |
| 5831s | for now but I'm coming for you nothing |
| 5833s | of the power I've been |
| 5836s | given or showed me the way all I needed |
| 5842s | was the nothing of the power I have |
| 5843s | taken you brought it right to |
| 5847s | me the power of the epoch is |
| 5857s | mine all right you can do it via the |
| 5859s | gifted item icon and just give every new |
| 5862s | player all the old outfit old gifts too |
| 5865s | oh I see you're saying after all we um |
| 5868s | after all they too can manipulate time |
| 5872s | Ah that's nice I see you're saying more |
| 5873s | more of like uh the the first birthday |
| 5875s | of last Epoch we give something to all |
| 5876s | the players and the second birthday of |
| 5877s | last Epoch we give something to all the |
| 5879s | players not like how long has this |
| 5880s | player been in yeah I really like that |
| 5881s | idea |
| 5885s | too huge big thanks to whoever sold the |
| 5888s | civilopedia from Civ to make an in-game |
| 5890s | guide from an |
| 5899s | RPG here's my C 6 play time |
| 5908s | um still |
| 5912s | five SI 5's got to be on here too isn't |
| 5914s | it it's under Sid not Civ |
| 5920s | Sid my SI 5 play |
| 5925s | time oh apparently I didn't ever play C4 |
| 5928s | on Steam I just they're all in here |
| 5936s | welcome back you're |
| 5939s | welcome no fwell travel then good |
| 5948s | luck been a while since I played it's |
| 5950s | been January 7th was the last time I |
| 5951s | played it actually o got get got to get |
| 5953s | another game soon I'm too busy oh |
| 5960s | yes this going to be this this space |
| 5962s | feels oddly empty to me right now now |
| 5964s | just just just |
| 5971s | saying all right there's a belt that |
| 5973s | summons meteor yes there is any plans to |
| 5975s | have more of the belts the similar like |
| 5977s | the belt that summons static or this is |
| 5979s | the belt you're talking about right here |
| 5980s | ha I just found |
| 5983s | one um yeah we we item items that |
| 5986s | trigger abilities people love those |
| 5988s | items they're like they're some of the |
| 5989s | most like build enabling items out there |
| 5991s | um people are big fans of them we're |
| 5992s | going to keep doing them |
| 5995s | we're trying to do them in different |
| 5996s | ways too have have like a little bit |
| 5999s | more creative ways of doing it I think |
| 6000s | is is going to be |
| 6009s | positive that's |
| 6012s | unfortunate stability |
| 6016s | back I don't remember if this was in |
| 6018s | your road map but are there any plans to |
| 6020s | release skill mtxs in the near future 1 |
| 6023s | Point one specifically will not have |
| 6025s | skill MTX I can tell you that much um we |
| 6028s | have started kind of working on the |
| 6030s | system it's still |
| 6033s | um there there are we we we have none |
| 6036s | internally still we don't like the |
| 6037s | system to even make it function doesn't |
| 6039s | exist internally |
| 6041s | yet so ear early days on |
| 6045s | that hey void |
| 6047s | rard we should probably put that on |
| 6051s | something uh cudos on the launch of the |
| 6053s | game thank you was great timing of |
| 6056s | harbers for me is bad first uh |
| 6058s | descendant once |
| 6061s | human last is the best AP in the market |
| 6064s | IO thank |
| 6069s | you uh who would win in a PVP match ich |
| 6073s | G Kane or |
| 6076s | you uh we we've we've I don't think |
| 6079s | we've ever had one so it's hard to |
| 6082s | say um |
| 6084s | but like I feel like everyone knows my |
| 6087s | kryptonite and I have no idea what his |
| 6088s | is so I mean I I probably take some sort |
| 6091s | of |
| 6092s | like uh AOE |
| 6098s | builds I had it muted I'm |
| 6103s | sorry there we are finish those off |
| 6107s | everal |
| 6110s | 91 it's a full year that's the that's |
| 6113s | the year oh my |
| 6120s | God he doing |
| 6123s | fantastic |
| 6127s | water get 20 |
| 6130s | minutes uh inquiring minds want to know |
| 6133s | on a more serious note sorry if this was |
| 6135s | asked before that's okay how will evade |
| 6137s | work will have an eye frame during the |
| 6140s | roll to avoid damage or can we take |
| 6143s | still take damage while evading such as |
| 6145s | AOE skills for |
| 6148s | boss boss yes uh it it um I I Stumble |
| 6152s | through that and replace some words |
| 6154s | evade will not have any eye |
| 6158s | frames um evade is a repositioning |
| 6160s | ability it does not make you |
| 6161s | invulnerable you can take damage from |
| 6164s | hits you can take damage from AOE |
| 6166s | effects um you just move a little |
| 6169s | differently |
| 6177s | there's a full detail post up on our |
| 6179s | forums uh it's like a comment of |
| 6182s | something else actually but it's linked |
| 6185s | in the top level post and I it's it's um |
| 6187s | you can search comments by me and you'll |
| 6188s | find it Each G |
| 6192s | Mike uh last question from me will'll R |
| 6195s | get a know oh there's also a post that |
| 6196s | just went up on our uh Reddit someone |
| 6199s | was compiling things that we've |
| 6200s | previously spoiled um for 1.1 and it was |
| 6203s | in there as well |
| 6207s | well uh right last question from me will |
| 6210s | R going to know that give it the void |
| 6213s | tag uh I don't think so this batch um I |
| 6216s | don't remember |
| 6221s | um but you I I I try not to I try to get |
| 6224s | into specifics on stuff here so I don't |
| 6226s | I don't I don't know I'm going to give |
| 6226s | you a I don't know but I don't think so |
| 6245s | all right how's our stability we've got |
| 6247s | enough how's our void res we don't have |
| 6250s | enough we're going to try and convert |
| 6251s | some of these res into void a little bit |
| 6254s | before taking this on I |
| 6257s | think K just about just saying |
| 6260s | me I'd bring some stuff to get rid of |
| 6262s | all your minions |
| 6264s | and you'd bring Avalanche and we'd see |
| 6265s | who'd |
| 6271s | won oh scroll please it's pretty |
| 6274s | strong uh if you like Civ have you |
| 6277s | played age of wers 4 yet it's amazing I |
| 6278s | have uh it didn't it didn't click for me |
| 6282s | I I I only gave it a couple rounds |
| 6285s | um it didn't quite click for me I'm not |
| 6289s | sure I'm not sure what was wrong um but |
| 6292s | as a huge Civ and and here's my magic |
| 6294s | fan I was like I'm in let's do |
| 6298s | this he just missed for me I I I have |
| 6302s | plans to go back to with them it's on my |
| 6305s | list looked great had some cool |
| 6308s | mechanics I think there's probably a |
| 6311s | fantastic game lurking just beneath the |
| 6313s | surface I didn't quite get to that's why |
| 6315s | that's what I |
| 6316s | think um when are be getting more |
| 6319s | Minimus love I still want I don't know |
| 6321s | why I haven't done this yet I still |
| 6322s | really want to have like a like pet the |
| 6325s | dog animation just like I know something |
| 6327s | when you walk up near it and do |
| 6328s | something it pets it we the I take it |
| 6332s | back about the the weapon swap thing |
| 6334s | it's pet the dog that's what I'd |
| 6346s | add uh |
| 6349s | is zal's hunt unique quiver getting |
| 6352s | fixed for 1.1 |
| 6355s | I I don't know I don't know what's wrong |
| 6357s | with it um we're working to fix any |
| 6361s | bug uh that that's been |
| 6363s | reported if if you don't know if it's |
| 6365s | been reported or not report it and we'll |
| 6367s | fix |
| 6370s | it okay what are we going to do to fix |
| 6373s | our gear I have a feeling it's something |
| 6375s | around these boots because these boots |
| 6377s | are really not synergizing with our |
| 6381s | build |
| 6384s | the minions Hast and frenzy is nice but |
| 6386s | we do give our minions frenzy already so |
| 6388s | I think we're going to take these boots |
| 6389s | off and replace |
| 6392s | them question is with what |
| 6401s | though try to spend too much time |
| 6403s | looking |
| 6406s | here do want something |
| 6411s | with void res on it we want want some |
| 6413s | boots with void RS that's our big thing |
| 6416s | if they can have some strength that |
| 6417s | would be wonderful |
| 6420s | too can't use those |
| 6422s | yet a lot of |
| 6428s | fizr I could avoid res put on |
| 6437s | them |
| 6441s | yeah we don't have a lot of Awesome |
| 6443s | boots laying around do |
| 6447s | we we might be able to convert those |
| 6450s | into something |
| 6453s | good do a little little wee bit of craft |
| 6456s | in |
| 6463s | here it's almost |
| 6471s | interesting might be able to make those |
| 6473s | in something |
| 6476s | good might be a those bases are not what |
| 6478s | we |
| 6490s | want and we're going to get into things |
| 6492s | that weren't made for |
| 6497s | us got to finish our Idol stuff too |
| 6515s | we can we can we can roll with what we |
| 6517s | got |
| 6520s | um can we convert this F resz to some |
| 6527s | like no no we |
| 6530s | can't uh can we con this Fus something |
| 6533s | like I EV void |
| 6536s | res can |
| 6540s | not can we convert this fiz res to |
| 6543s | something we like |
| 6545s | IE no we |
| 6548s | cannot well I just want void res on some |
| 6553s | boots don't care what it replaces at |
| 6555s | this |
| 6559s | point oh my God |
| 6566s | okay uh just avoid res on of boots |
| 6570s | please and |
| 6578s | boots oh you know what we should be oh |
| 6580s | we don't can't steal |
| 6589s | anything boots can have void res right |
| 6591s | am I crazy |
| 6595s | okay that moment where you're like uh oh |
| 6597s | am I just ruin wasting |
| 6606s | time don't |
| 6609s | care I don't care what else it has we |
| 6611s | need void R so bad |
| 6625s | that was insane I don't think I've ever |
| 6626s | seen |
| 6629s | like maybe I'm just like way overly |
| 6639s | lucky uh do you know to fix incoming for |
| 6641s | the font generation at lower resolution |
| 6643s | uh not specifically if you're any if |
| 6646s | you're below 1600 by 900 there's going |
| 6648s | to probably be some weird issues like |
| 6650s | that that crop |
| 6651s | up we just stand in that see how bad it |
| 6653s | hurts now I'm sure I'll make a mistake |
| 6656s | though at some |
| 6667s | point did not have to wait long for |
| 6676s | that |
| 6679s | my in |
| 6684s | on get back up |
| 6686s | scorpion |
| 6687s | Desair Oblivion |
| 6696s | burs |
| 6698s | this do you deny |
| 6707s | it my shadow will cover this place once |
| 6711s | more |
| 6734s | beain I'm sorry if I'm missing a bunch |
| 6736s | of questions in chat I |
| 6740s | am uh not overly confident in my ability |
| 6743s | to complete this with this build right |
| 6750s | now it get out of there get out of |
| 6754s | there don't die in the fire |
| 6757s | please iing resurrect you outside of the |
| 6759s | fire |
| 6778s | we |
| 6780s | go oh that was a big chunk of |
| 6784s | damage that was close I hit roll again |
| 6787s | to get out of the |
| 6791s | way Oblivion |
| 6797s | bur do you think my defeat changes |
| 6801s | anything we got there is already dead we |
| 6804s | got |
| 6806s | there tread void rest on |
| 6809s | him he Le right yeah these are not |
| 6815s | uh I think we have some |
| 6818s | leech just nothing for |
| 6825s | us oo one |
| 6828s | LP Don't Mind If I Do |
| 6838s | never the build it's always the |
| 6840s | pilot |
| 6842s | ouch yeah you're right but |
| 6850s | yeah Lon I'm coming for |
| 6859s | you so what do people think shock and |
| 6863s | from the boss di remove replac with boss |
| 6867s | Ward excited scared happy |
| 6885s | angry oh there's one I have a question |
| 6888s | about Forge guard I didn't feel it was |
| 6890s | any different in 1.0 versus early access |
| 6893s | BL the P still felt like it was very |
| 6894s | heavily minion dependent one thing I was |
| 6897s | thinking about uh and provided |
| 6899s | in game feedback about was give us give |
| 6903s | us the ability to make it not as |
| 6906s | dependent sometimes my floating swords |
| 6907s | would get stuck on obstacles and had to |
| 6910s | spawn more floating swords to do proper |
| 6912s | damage didn't |
| 6913s | feel H good no need to go into details |
| 6916s | just curious um I mean |
| 6919s | there's like they're they're they're are |
| 6923s | still minion heavy Forge guards and not |
| 6925s | minion heavy Forge guards like there's |
| 6927s | both those are still very much a thing |
| 6933s | um like the specific damage numbers |
| 6936s | might have |
| 6936s | been um less than you were hoping |
| 6946s | for like it should still be possible to |
| 6949s | to make a non minion based Forge guard |
| 6952s | 1.1 like that that's that's not going |
| 6964s | away it's not it's not like a focused |
| 6967s | minion class it's probably the most |
| 6969s | minion class of the Sentinels um but |
| 6972s | it's not it's not a minion primary class |
| 6975s | like um Beast Master |
| 6977s | and |
| 6980s | um Necromancer so you're not like I |
| 6982s | guess minion primary is you're not |
| 6986s | um we we we we try not to make the |
| 6990s | primary um aics you're looking for as |
| 6992s | minion damage to increase your damage |
| 6994s | with that um so we try to make it so |
| 6996s | that there's ways for you to build |
| 6999s | um like forgeard really cares about |
| 7003s | having like damage that they can build |
| 7006s | themselves that transfer to their |
| 7007s | minions |
| 7010s | um like I guess theat ially it's why |
| 7013s | it's a little bit more removed as a |
| 7015s | class and why I don't I don't view it as |
| 7016s | a strict minion class like it would a |
| 7019s | necromancer or a beast |
| 7038s | master all right what is the chance for |
| 7040s | us to get an infographic related to |
| 7047s | Guild oh just just factions in general I |
| 7050s | see what you're saying for example how |
| 7051s | many characters are tagged Merchant |
| 7053s | skill versus coff how many items are |
| 7054s | untagged versus tagged uh how is player |
| 7056s | retention of mg versus cof Etc um I |
| 7059s | there's some things there that we don't |
| 7061s | have um but there's a couple things we |
| 7063s | do I don't know um that's something |
| 7065s | that's something that we can ask the |
| 7067s | uh um marketing team |
| 7082s | you guys still playing on more Cosmetics |
| 7083s | yeah we're still playing on more |
| 7084s | Cosmetics two of the new ones will be |
| 7086s | twitch drops for free just after the |
| 7088s | Patch |
| 7099s | launch oh that hurts |
| 7116s | it is so hot in my office it's like |
| 7118s | we're we're starting to get into that |
| 7119s | that time of year where like I do a |
| 7121s | stream and like Afters I got to turn the |
| 7124s | computer off for a little bit just to |
| 7125s | like cool this place down almost |
| 7139s | I feel like this light as well is quite |
| 7142s | hot I don't know may it's just in my |
| 7146s | head Master Sword 1291 for 38 months in |
| 7152s | a row that's |
| 7155s | insane all yall over three years are |
| 7158s | just nutty I love it thank you very much |
| 7161s | so happy to have you with |
| 7180s | us all right is anyone to make gold |
| 7182s | useful for Pure C flers I mean the |
| 7186s | um uh the dungeon the gold btim oner |
| 7191s | fate dungeon is um quite quite useful I |
| 7195s | recommend checking it out got if you got |
| 7197s | gold burning a hole in your |
| 7204s | pocket it's what it was for before that |
| 7207s | all of |
| 7208s | this any plans to beef up Shaman storm |
| 7212s | totem visually I love the ability SL |
| 7214s | totem but it feels kind of lame numbers |
| 7215s | wise I mean I so I don't as always I |
| 7218s | don't have any details on specific |
| 7219s | balance changes that are coming I just |
| 7222s | don't know what the numbers are off the |
| 7223s | top of my head and |
| 7224s | I the chances of me saying something |
| 7226s | that's like close but just wrong enough |
| 7228s | that people get excited or disappointed |
| 7230s | ahead of time un unduly uh is extremely |
| 7234s | high so I I really don't want to |
| 7237s | uh artificially inflate or deflate |
| 7240s | someone's expectations on this |
| 7243s | um but the the the masteries and the |
| 7246s | builds that were fun but low power are |
| 7250s | exactly the type of things that we |
| 7251s | target for Buffs in general just from a |
| 7254s | like |
| 7257s | um like design |
| 7260s | standpoint when someone's like this was |
| 7262s | really fun I really enjoyed it I when I |
| 7264s | played it I felt cool um but when I got |
| 7266s | to like super endgame content and I was |
| 7269s | trying to push uh it it felt lacking um |
| 7272s | and you know like like that that type of |
| 7274s | feedback is the type of feedback that |
| 7275s | gets um us to look at the class to see |
| 7278s | how we want to address |
| 7281s | that when I played X I felt |
| 7291s | why uh without spoilers of the exact |
| 7293s | Class Type how many future classes will |
| 7296s | have minions companions I have no |
| 7301s | idea |
| 7303s | several minions are a really popular |
| 7306s | thing to put into into games like this |
| 7308s | like people love minions it is um I I |
| 7311s | don't know the ex act breakdown but I |
| 7313s | would guess it is um as like as like an |
| 7317s | overall archetype if we're going to if |
| 7318s | we're going to like put something like |
| 7319s | really broad categories like Melee |
| 7323s | Caster |
| 7324s | ranged like like bows type thing and |
| 7327s | like minions if we're going to put stuff |
| 7328s | in like that broad of a cast category I |
| 7331s | think minions is probably the number one |
| 7333s | category that we've seen um like even |
| 7337s | times when there's like no new content |
| 7341s | for the class necrom still really |
| 7343s | performs well um just just just no |
| 7346s | matter what it's and and like it I I I I |
| 7350s | think that's one of those things that |
| 7351s | like we have hard evidence that it's |
| 7354s | something that our community really |
| 7356s | likes and we try to give our community |
| 7358s | more of what they really like you know |
| 7373s | uh hey |
| 7375s | boss uh what will uh when we will |
| 7379s | receive some in-game |
| 7382s | content uh cuz those we have now is |
| 7384s | ultra |
| 7386s | boring um July |
| 7390s | nth hello there I'd like to ask if there |
| 7393s | are any options |
| 7396s | open regarding traversal skills to not |
| 7398s | show their cooldowns unique items or any |
| 7400s | skill modification and Falcon on the |
| 7403s | mind can use shits and a all together I |
| 7405s | I'd say it's very low probability that |
| 7406s | we would do that um it's it's it's a |
| 7409s | pretty hard um like balance restriction |
| 7412s | that causes that to be needed and um you |
| 7416s | know if you if you put aiala shifts on |
| 7418s | the same character like like Aeros |
| 7419s | saltan shift specifically are the reason |
| 7421s | why one of the main reasons why this is |
| 7423s | like this because it's it just it's gets |
| 7426s | ridiculous and it's it it enables |
| 7428s | gameplay that we're not really |
| 7429s | interested in so um |
| 7433s | like very low |
| 7446s | probability oh my |
| 7453s | goodness I will resurrect this scorpion |
| 7456s | I did it |
| 7468s | o we're starting to get out class a |
| 7470s | little |
| 7474s | bit uh any plans to play elen Ring DLC |
| 7477s | this weekend uh I do not mostly because |
| 7480s | I'm going to a bachelor party this |
| 7487s | weekend we're going to play magic cards |
| 7491s | and |
| 7493s | have a |
| 7497s | barbecue going to set a tent in my |
| 7499s | buddy's |
| 7508s | backyard be |
| 7510s | great |
| 7512s | yeah I'll play it next weekend the |
| 7514s | weekend |
| 7515s | after |
| 7517s | like not this weekend but next weekend |
| 7520s | uh just a generic question but I assume |
| 7521s | the team is looking into rebalancing |
| 7523s | survivability options less Wy more HP |
| 7527s | yeah I think the um the short version of |
| 7529s | this we talked about this a little bit |
| 7530s | but the short version is probably um oh |
| 7532s | we're over time here second really short |
| 7533s | version um yes less Wy more |
| 7538s | HP broadly speaking yes but I think it's |
| 7540s | like the sources of wardy things and how |
| 7543s | powerful those are and the sources of HP |
| 7545s | things and how powerful those are um cuz |
| 7548s | right now where they those power |
| 7550s | thresholds kick in is so so different |
| 7552s | because where they come from be it |
| 7554s | skills passives or |
| 7557s | equipment um so you know we're still |
| 7559s | we're still working |
| 7561s | on um that's one that's one of the |
| 7564s | places we're really targeting is the the |
| 7566s | relative balance on the uh character |
| 7569s | progression current |
| 7589s | didn't die this is the problem I have |
| 7591s | every time every time I'm like something |
| 7592s | intense situation I just like my my |
| 7594s | entire brain just stops talking and I'm |
| 7596s | like I'm GNA I'm not going to die I |
| 7597s | can't die all just a generic question |
| 7600s | but I assume the team is looking into |
| 7601s | rebalancing oh I already answer that |
| 7604s | which cycle will have the Barbarian |
| 7606s | Mastery well in the hypothetical |
| 7608s | scenario where we eventually maybe |
| 7610s | include a barbarian mastery |
| 7612s | um I don't |
| 7619s | know is there any plans for allowing |
| 7621s | more channeling skills to move while |
| 7623s | channeling yeah I think that's a um |
| 7625s | astute observation onto the issues in |
| 7627s | channeling and relative to the |
| 7629s | channeling abilities that that they |
| 7631s | compar the channeling abilities that |
| 7632s | don't work and the ones that |
| 7637s | do uh thank you for answering you're |
| 7639s | welcome I don't remember which question |
| 7640s | it was I'm sorry |
| 7642s | uh did I miss it or you skip my question |
| 7645s | oh I must have missed it I'm sorry |
| 7652s | heavy we're going to we're going to end |
| 7654s | this on a death I can feel |
| 7657s | it and I will answer your question as |
| 7659s | soon as I |
| 7662s | die my God |
| 7675s | there we go had to happen it's okay |
| 7677s | stand |
| 7681s | us all right |
| 7707s | heavy I'm sorry I don't see the question |
| 7708s | I see a bunch of other comments there it |
| 7710s | is any chance for a void grub pet I want |
| 7713s | one to hug pet and cuddle they're |
| 7716s | adorable oh like like an ntx pet um I |
| 7719s | can see I I I love I love getting um |
| 7722s | enemies as pets that that that that |
| 7724s | theme I'm a big fan of in general so I |
| 7727s | um I I don't think that's off the table |
| 7729s | I don't I don't know anything though so |
| 7731s | hope hopefully I'm going to say |
| 7733s | hopefully all right and on that I think |
