| 45s | a good one so just get that out of the |
| 48s | way it's gonna be a little bit before I |
| 49s | before I share it but but it'll be worth |
| 51s | it it's a good one |
| 56s | and as always stream for charity here |
| 60s | and uh International Association for |
| 61s | suicide prevention is our charity this |
| 63s | month next month we'll have anyone |
| 68s | for all you fine folks |
| 73s | huh |
| 75s | I feel like on the zap like on the beach |
| 78s | like |
| 80s | we need another cast speed up to get |
| 81s | some better music going |
| 90s | uh first question up here I just want to |
| 92s | say Well done on the MTX response commit |
| 94s | clarification on whether these |
| 95s | supportive packs include the lower tier |
| 97s | packs uh no they do not include packs |
| 99s | they're just what they are or they need |
| 100s | to be bought individually no they're |
| 102s | just |
| 103s | um |
| 104s | they're just like what's what's in those |
| 105s | packs the the the stuff in the packs is |
| 111s | um like the best stuff we've made |
| 116s | personally it's my favorite |
| 122s | it's also like all right the prices all |
| 125s | changed just recently so it was the |
| 127s | cheapest I don't know if it still is the |
| 128s | cheapest but I think it must still be |
| 130s | probably per thing |
| 137s | oh it's been such a gone for the last |
| 139s | couple days |
| 148s | but today's stuff yeah we got some cool |
| 150s | stuff today Weaver's well unique items |
| 152s | coming in strong oh |
| 155s | they're a ton of fun it's very cool this |
| 158s | is one of those things that just like |
| 159s | kind of came out of nowhere |
| 161s | um I know there's been zero mention of |
| 164s | anything like it I did actually tease |
| 165s | them at some point on stream I kind of I |
| 167s | hinted at them |
| 172s | uh but it was very subtle and without |
| 173s | knowing more there was no way anyone |
| 175s | would have figured out what was going on |
| 186s | oh my goodness |
| 195s | we are hurting here |
| 200s | okay |
| 201s | is our is our our um lightning blast |
| 203s | working |
| 204s | yeah okay this is working again |
| 209s | did Weaver's will grow out of a |
| 211s | discussion on the pros and cons of |
| 214s | unidentified items no |
| 216s | uh it feels like a wave having |
| 218s | unidentified items without having their |
| 219s | drawbacks while encountering different |
| 220s | builds not really |
| 222s | um |
| 224s | it's it's it's |
| 226s | uh the Weaver's Wills is uh like trisoki |
| 230s | special as far as uh kind of kind of |
| 233s | just came out of nowhere which was |
| 234s | fantastic love to see it |
| 236s | um |
| 237s | and uh it's it's more of a way to kind |
| 242s | of bridge the gap in your item |
| 244s | progression and still have something |
| 245s | happening with your items so like have a |
| 247s | potential for items to be improving |
| 249s | while you're getting so this like lull |
| 251s | that happens in your gear progression |
| 253s | you get you get nice like t20-ish gear |
| 255s | you get you get a few uniques you start |
| 257s | hunting for |
| 259s | um like exalt specific exalteds and |
| 262s | uniques with LP to go with them and it's |
| 264s | it's it's there's like the there's a big |
| 267s | gap in finding new gear where it's kind |
| 269s | of nothing's changing your gear set at |
| 270s | all for a little while |
| 272s | um |
| 273s | and if there happens to be a weaver as |
| 275s | well unique that does fit your build and |
| 277s | you get one it's a way that your gear |
| 279s | can be progressing and upgrading and |
| 281s | changing without actually having to |
| 283s | change what's physically equipped |
| 285s | um |
| 287s | I think it works really well |
| 291s | uh Curious to hear if you have played |
| 293s | any of the D4 betas uh so what did you |
| 295s | think do you see any aspects you'd like |
| 297s | to implement in the Le in the future |
| 298s | um yeah like so so I had I played the um |
| 302s | I played the open beta |
| 305s | uh like a couple months ago it was a |
| 309s | couple months ago a month ago something |
| 310s | like that |
| 312s | um I probably played that a bunch uh it |
| 315s | was a ton of fun |
| 317s | um |
| 317s | there wasn't like |
| 319s | I was really trying to play it from a |
| 322s | gamer's perspective and not from a |
| 323s | developer's perspective |
| 325s | um so I was more just like I'm gonna |
| 326s | have fun and play a game is really what |
| 329s | it's going for there were there were um |
| 332s | Lessons Learned |
| 333s | uh |
| 336s | uh from from playing at things things |
| 338s | that I uh |
| 340s | like good and bad things I'm like oh |
| 342s | like I want to make sure I don't do that |
| 343s | or all I gotta make sure we we find a |
| 345s | way to get this feeling in the game or |
| 346s | something like that you know there's |
| 347s | there's lots of things like that you try |
| 349s | and turn your brain off and just play |
| 350s | and sometimes you just can't those |
| 352s | things will sneak in |
| 357s | well the paxi season exist there's so |
| 360s | right now that's the plan for these |
| 362s | packs |
| 363s | um there's a lot of things still being |
| 365s | discussed but |
| 366s | um |
| 367s | the initial version of |
| 370s | these packs |
| 372s | like we don't know what's gonna happen |
| 374s | next match |
| 375s | we don't know what's going to happen the |
| 376s | patch after that |
| 378s | um |
| 380s | right now these are the packs that are |
| 381s | available |
| 382s | that's where we're at that's it |
| 385s | uh any thoughts about avoiding the clear |
| 389s | speed meta that Poe has yeah we do a lot |
| 391s | of things to try and |
| 392s | um to try and promote |
| 396s | uh uh you know you're taking taking your |
| 398s | time a little bit exploring a little bit |
| 399s | that sort of stuff and we definitely |
| 400s | don't do enough |
| 402s | um and we've definitely got things that |
| 403s | we we've got in the like |
| 406s | here's a feature that we want to get in |
| 408s | it's going to be hard to do but we'll do |
| 409s | it eventually so yeah there's definitely |
| 411s | things that we are looking to avoid for |
| 413s | from that |
| 420s | same one of the one of the biggest |
| 421s | issues you think is having mechanics |
| 423s | with timers so you're not getting uh |
| 425s | you're getting less loot for being slow |
| 426s | in addition to the inherent drawback of |
| 428s | getting loot slower which should be the |
| 430s | only drawback for slower builds yeah I |
| 432s | mean there's |
| 433s | um timers are very very awesome for have |
| 437s | for like for getting |
| 439s | um like tension for ratcheting up |
| 441s | tension |
| 442s | um just saying thank you heavy very much |
| 444s | resub for 24 months in a row |
| 447s | um glad to have you with us I'm glad |
| 449s | you're still enjoying yourself uh two |
| 451s | years is nutty but thank you that's |
| 453s | great and and before thank you for the |
| 455s | raid I didn't even see that I must have |
| 457s | been off getting a drink or inside of |
| 458s | the Stream or just talking because I'm a |
| 461s | talker but welcome everyone from Lone |
| 463s | Star Stream |
| 465s | um I was I was watching you a little bit |
| 466s | before this uh and and also thank you |
| 469s | Anton eight or three months in a row |
| 472s | glad to have you what's up everybody |
| 473s | we're having a ton of fun here it's a |
| 476s | good day I was like this morning I'm |
| 478s | like can we make sure we get that that |
| 479s | post out before stream goes Live come on |
| 481s | yeah is that and they're like yeah we're |
| 483s | on it don't worry |
| 485s | thank you |
| 488s | because I I had a tough time sleeping |
| 490s | last night I'm being perfectly honest |
| 492s | with you guys that was uh |
| 495s | I was I was dreading this a little bit |
| 500s | all right |
| 502s | what am I talking about |
| 506s | uh it's clear sweet medicine yeah |
| 508s | there's um |
| 510s | timers on things so we we don't have any |
| 512s | mechanics that have timers on them |
| 514s | um but but timers do a really good job |
| 516s | at building tension and so there's like |
| 518s | there's there's good things that they |
| 519s | can do and there might be ways to like |
| 521s | to do it better |
| 523s | um I don't know what that is yeah and |
| 524s | that's part of the reason we haven't |
| 525s | ever implemented a timer sound mechanic |
| 527s | like that |
| 528s | um but like just just think about |
| 531s | um |
| 533s | like you're you're playing Just Mario |
| 535s | just like Super Mario Bros the first one |
| 538s | and uh he gets down under 100 seconds |
| 540s | and suddenly Avalanche kills you like it |
| 543s | always does uh and you hear that |
| 546s | um I don't know or something like that |
| 549s | it's like the the the music the pace the |
| 551s | music doubles and the tension just like |
| 553s | goes up to 11 immediately |
| 558s | um and and so like I think there's |
| 561s | there are good things that can come from |
| 563s | having mechanics that run through timers |
| 566s | um I don't I don't know the best way to |
| 567s | do it or how to do it successfully and |
| 569s | we don't have any mechanics like that |
| 570s | right now we do try to |
| 573s | um actually include mechanics that don't |
| 575s | require |
| 577s | uh don't don't push The Narrative of a |
| 578s | clear student because that is naturally |
| 580s | just there anyways like the faster you |
| 581s | kill things the faster you get loot from |
| 583s | the things you kill and the more loot |
| 585s | you're gonna get right like that's just |
| 586s | naturally there no matter what |
| 593s | forgive me |
| 597s | oh my God that Subs as well thank you |
| 601s | very much okay this is oh it sounds a |
| 603s | hype train going away you know you know |

| 716s | there's four little |
| 719s | um like different holes that the notes |
| 721s | play out of but some of them are |
| 723s | significantly smaller than others that's |

| 750s | gonna be a patch live and everything oh |
| 752s | it's great |
| 753s | foreign |
| 761s | I did have to push updates to the to the |
| 763s | patch this morning because the changes |
| 764s | to the FDX are just like it only |
| 766s | stresses me out pushing updates less |
| 768s | than a week left in them to patch |
| 772s | but I'm very happy to do those ones |
| 775s | all right more questions here I swear |
| 777s | I'm gonna get to the questions I promise |
| 779s | if you have any questions please put at |
| 780s | last epoc game in the questions so I see |
| 781s | it and I will be happy to answer it how |
| 783s | many new items unique legendary Weavers |
| 785s | should we expect on the patch well uh so |
| 787s | legendaries are made up of uh like |
| 789s | unique items so like we don't like we |
| 790s | just we had uniques and legendaries to |
| 792s | get created out of them |
| 794s | um I don't know how many there are total |
| 795s | actually |
| 798s | um but there's there's there's not a |
| 801s | huge compliment of them like there's I |
| 803s | would say uh less than |
| 807s | we'll be adding in per patch post 1.0 |
| 810s | probably |
| 811s | um |
| 813s | like a decent chunk am I just like |
| 815s | walking when I could just be warping |
| 818s | nope |
| 822s | kind of warping |
| 827s | uh does the next patch fix anything with |
| 829s | the network I mean we've been uh yes so |
| 831s | there are changes for uh multiplier |
| 834s | coming in the next patch we also do make |
| 836s | changes to the servers without telling |
| 838s | anyone sometimes |
| 839s | um |
| 841s | but yes the one of the big changes |
| 842s | coming I don't know how I'm allowed to |
| 844s | say this |
| 848s | there's something coming that'll help |
| 851s | it'll help exactly your problem you're |
| 853s | having here I live in EU and I need to |
| 854s | get U.S east or Asia Sir with 180 100 |
| 857s | 180 ping I've never been being placed in |
| 859s | EU server this is something that |
| 860s | developers are aware of I see posts |
| 862s | about on the forms of Reddit and so on |
| 863s | yeah it's very aware of the problem |
| 865s | um I can describe exactly what's |
| 866s | happening |
| 868s | um we're the weirdly enough the system's |
| 870s | actually functioning perfectly we just |
| 872s | designed it bad |
| 874s | um what what's happening is it's the the |
| 878s | style of ping check it's using to |
| 880s | determine which server it should place |
| 882s | you in is a style of paying check that |
| 885s | can be de-prioritized by networks |
| 887s | um and so sometimes you'll get longer |
| 889s | pings than is really what would happen |
| 891s | in a real world situation because the |
| 893s | Ping is usually it's supposed to be a |
| 895s | test an indicator of how fast things |
| 897s | will be |
| 898s | um |
| 899s | like if if you were to use that server |
| 902s | and um it's giving we're getting back |
| 905s | not indicative data of what the actual |
| 907s | connection will be like and we're using |
| 909s | that information to uh put you in the |
| 912s | wrong server |
| 916s | um so yeah there's there's there's fixes |
| 919s | and and it's gonna be awesome and |
| 920s | Fantasmic |
| 930s | uh |
| 932s | uh right I'm just getting pings just |
| 933s | reading the reading my pings you know uh |
| 936s | Focus just feels bad to use especially |
| 939s | in some boss fights being stationary not |
| 940s | having a Mana he's moving skill Etc are |
| 942s | there any plans to bring it in line with |
| 944s | more management for Mana regeneration |
| 946s | um nothing specific note but if you have |
| 948s | suggestions on the matter and you'd like |
| 949s | to see them Implement in the game please |
| 950s | head on over to our forums and leave a |
| 953s | suggestion there where people can |
| 954s | discuss it and talk about it and upvote |
| 956s | it possibly |
| 963s | there aren't there aren't a ton of like |
| 964s | major wide sweeping changes coming in |
| 966s | this batch |
| 967s | um |
| 968s | there's definitely something don't be |
| 970s | wrong |
| 972s | oh |
| 978s | are there any plans to add a fourth |
| 980s | Master The Sentinel and or prime list |
| 982s | yeah um there are and um gotta be more |
| 985s | stuff it's just it just doesn't stop |
| 988s | this is the best problem to have ever |
| 990s | um |
| 991s | thank you |
| 992s | uh row Medical romantical |
| 997s | glad to have you with us hope you're |
| 998s | having fun |
| 1001s | um all-time record shattered I don't |
| 1003s | even know what that means but it's cool |
| 1008s | uh this thing just pops up with stuff |
| 1010s | I'm like ah it's neat I love it anyways |
| 1014s | um any plans to add fourth Master |
| 1017s | Sentinel promise yes |
| 1019s | um we're gonna add the three uh the |
| 1022s | three the three main masteries |
| 1024s | for every uh Base Class will happen |
| 1026s | first everyone's got three uh and tiny |
| 1030s | wiener |
| 1032s | thank you very much |
| 1037s | 100 got me with that one |
| 1040s | hundred percent copy love it anyways |
| 1044s | um |
| 1045s | yes fourth Mastery we do have sort of uh |
| 1048s | rough ideas of fourth masteries we'd |
| 1050s | like to see on specific classes |
| 1052s | um |
| 1053s | we know for sure what the sorcerer Force |
| 1055s | class or the Mage Force class is going |
| 1057s | to be definitely we we've got that one |
| 1058s | up we've had that one on lockdown since |
| 1060s | like five years ago |
| 1063s | um well that's not true three years ago |
| 1065s | anyways um |
| 1067s | but yes we've got Front Runners for all |
| 1069s | of them and uh watch over you |
| 1072s | we will be expanding those |
| 1075s | I can't remember what I was doing I |
| 1076s | think I was just putting points |
| 1077s | everywhere it was just a terrible idea |
| 1078s | that's fine |
| 1082s | uh any any dungeon related to Weaver |
| 1085s | items anyway to reroll on affix even if |
| 1088s | not recovering the Weaver number used |
| 1090s | for it um we don't have anything |
| 1093s | um specific planned for that just yet |
| 1094s | and there's nothing that's coming in on |
| 1095s | the patch there'll be there's no no new |
| 1097s | dungeons coming into the next patch |
| 1100s | um but I do think that that is a |
| 1104s | um |
| 1105s | a very astute observation of uh |
| 1108s | potential for Dungeon rewards in the |
| 1111s | future |
| 1118s | oh my goodness oh yeah Ladle does |
| 1122s | everybody LP I didn't even see no |
| 1127s | what a Galaxy item I love it all right |
| 1131s | here we go |
| 1133s | next question I saw one that wasn't |
| 1135s | tagged with the final read it uh two |
| 1137s | Weavers will items have set affixes |
| 1141s | or are they Random Access they're random |
| 1143s | but they're they're not the same random |
| 1145s | as |
| 1147s | um you'd see on a regular items so like |
| 1150s | they're they're weighted differently |
| 1151s | than normal items that go in that same |
| 1154s | slot so you like if you just were to if |
| 1156s | you were to have like a thousand uh |
| 1158s | Weaver's Wills on Relic slots and a |
| 1161s | thousand Relic items the ratio of |
| 1163s | affixes you'd see on those are different |
| 1166s | um and you'll see things that are more |
| 1168s | um like class specific affixes for |
| 1170s | example I think it mentions this in the |
| 1171s | post a little bit |
| 1173s | so it is it is random but it's not um |
| 1176s | the same random |
| 1177s | seasons |
| 1179s | and we like so so when we're designing |
| 1181s | these these um these new uniques we're |
| 1184s | really trying to put them in slots that |
| 1187s | will uh |
| 1190s | slots that will that will really |
| 1192s | um I guess shine with like |
| 1196s | like uh more the ratio of affixes that |
| 1201s | will be good for that unique or at least |
| 1203s | positive for that unique is is higher |
| 1205s | than is like we we positioned them |
| 1207s | strategically so that would be a high |
| 1209s | ratio |
| 1210s | um and I I think it works pretty well |
| 1212s | like you do sometimes you get you get |
| 1214s | affixes that aren't perfect |
| 1215s | um it's it's extremely rare that you get |
| 1218s | an affix is like actively negative I |
| 1219s | don't know if that's possible uh I hope |
| 1221s | it's not possible |
| 1226s | oh |
| 1235s | all right next question are there plans |
| 1237s | to have x with special events for |
| 1239s | example uh glow grows with 100 strength |
| 1243s | or when you kill an enemy they meld into |
| 1246s | a puddle those kinds of things |
| 1248s | of special effects I see what you're |
| 1249s | saying so there already are |
| 1252s | um like MTX that are already coming in |
| 1254s | the store do have VFX associated with |
| 1255s | them like the two capes that you saw in |
| 1257s | the preview window that were more |
| 1259s | expensive |
| 1260s | um they both have VFX on them |
| 1262s | um |
| 1263s | the |
| 1264s | uh the The Capes I think all the capes |
| 1268s | in the supportive packs all VFX |
| 1269s | associated with them uh the the portals |
| 1272s | and uh have like VFX sfx animation |
| 1276s | um |
| 1278s | yeah |
| 1280s | uh the I think that |
| 1282s | I don't know what the pets have I can't |
| 1284s | remember sorry |
| 1288s | but yeah there's VFX and then there's |
| 1290s | there's like you're talking about like |
| 1293s | um extra like VFX things that happen in |
| 1297s | like idle States and things like that |
| 1298s | maybe |
| 1299s | um and and that sort of stuff I think |
| 1301s | will be uh maybe once we've got |
| 1303s | ourselves a little more solidified in in |
| 1305s | pipelines and things like that expanding |
| 1307s | how we do some of those things I think |
| 1309s | we're really interesting but there's |
| 1311s | um |
| 1312s | no reactive |
| 1314s | uh VFX for your character stats so like |
| 1319s | uh a specific thing with like like a |
| 1321s | glow that's relative to the amount of |
| 1323s | strength you have I think it's a really |
| 1324s | cool idea and I think it's actually |
| 1326s | possible but we don't have anything like |
| 1327s | that |
| 1329s | uh there's been talks about adding |
| 1331s | stealth mechanic to backstab uh or |
| 1334s | backstabs or and a back step to Rogue |
| 1335s | about D4 Rogue |
| 1337s | films I felt more like a road because of |
| 1340s | that |
| 1340s | um no |
| 1344s | um we tried some stealth stuff a little |
| 1346s | bit |
| 1346s | and uh the the initial like when we were |
| 1349s | first developing the road we actually |
| 1350s | tested some stealth things |
| 1353s | um and like smoke bombs kind of where we |
| 1355s | got with that where it's like |
| 1357s | the the big problem with a lot of |
| 1359s | stealth mechanics is they force you not |
| 1361s | to attack at least in our game that |
| 1363s | didn't really work very well we felt |
| 1365s | um |
| 1367s | so |
| 1369s | maybe if we can find a way to make it |
| 1371s | feel really good |
| 1372s | um but until then we'll we'll have to |
| 1373s | stick to more thematic and like implied |
| 1376s | uh versions of it |
| 1381s | uh since you updated Lich form any |
| 1384s | chance to look into Harvard's skill |
| 1386s | because it's so bad I'm Haley which |
| 1387s | isn't viable for some corruption 400 |
| 1389s | plus 400 plus is really high |
| 1391s | um maybe |
| 1393s | I I don't have any details on specific |
| 1395s | upcoming balance changes sorry |
| 1399s | how many Weavers built items to the |
| 1401s | being pointed out approximately just the |
| 1402s | rough number uh less than 10. |
| 1407s | I think I don't actually know |
| 1410s | I don't think I've seen them all even |
| 1412s | myself like that's the funny things |
| 1414s | because I got sent uh our teaser for |
| 1417s | today I was like well that's new when |
| 1419s | did that happen |
| 1425s | uh |
| 1430s | so I I actually don't know how many |
| 1431s | there are |
| 1434s | I could I could find out I've just been |
| 1435s | so busy |
| 1454s | will the Lord with the Lord are you |
| 1457s | planning to have lore Scrolls books or |
| 1459s | fragments Etc of some kind need to find |
| 1462s | discover more about lousy Buck yeah |
| 1463s | there's actually some of these coming |
| 1464s | next packed which is gonna be awesome |
| 1466s | and they look really cool |
| 1468s | um so there's they have this little |
| 1469s | little Collectibles |
| 1471s | um not Collectibles to just little um |
| 1474s | lore stations I want to call them |
| 1475s | opportunities to uh optionally |
| 1478s | delve a little deeper into the lore of |
| 1480s | the game |
| 1483s | uh Epoch I missed the whole issue with |
| 1485s | the MTX glad to see you missed it |
| 1488s | uh |
| 1490s | uh it wasn't awesome |
| 1493s | but I think we've recovered nicely |
| 1496s | um |
| 1497s | what was the question though however I'm |
| 1498s | seeing you guys response over |
| 1500s | um previous issues I have total |
| 1502s | confidence on you and the team so just |
| 1503s | appreciate the message oh thank you |
| 1506s | that's lovely |
| 1508s | there's the giant gifts chain I'm so far |
| 1511s | behind I like and exg I want to say |
| 1513s | regarding predatory MTX post we are |
| 1517s | what oh you haven't seen the update uh |
| 1520s | okay so if you haven't uh heard already |
| 1522s | this morning we released uh an update to |
| 1525s | the uh to the MTX post uh that was |
| 1529s | released out |
| 1531s | um and there's go go check it out it's |
| 1533s | on our forums |
| 1539s | uh how many he's coming next match I |
| 1541s | don't know sorry |
| 1543s | will be a train whistle in the game I |
| 1545s | mean does that kind of has to be like |
| 1548s | where where does like train whistle |
| 1550s | technology sit |
| 1552s | uh relative to other things right like |
| 1556s | if we don't have guns can we have a |
| 1558s | train whistle |
| 1560s | I know like the one I have is nothing so |
| 1562s | it's maybe it's not a train whistle |
| 1564s | literally yeah yeah |
| 1568s | this is this is my um |
| 1570s | last time maybe the time before I was |
| 1572s | talking about like a hypothetical |
| 1573s | character if I could if I could add |
| 1574s | anything and then you know like everyone |
| 1576s | just had to do whatever I said and I had |
| 1577s | it and I was like oh I had like a Bard |
| 1579s | class basically |
| 1581s | um performance glasses gesture class you |
| 1584s | know the trickster class all sorts of |
| 1585s | things |
| 1586s | um |
| 1588s | and uh |
| 1591s | yeah I guess that could be like a weapon |
| 1592s | type a flute |
| 1595s | it's not not in the the list of uh |
| 1600s | planned things at all for the record |
| 1603s | uh could you explain a bit about the |
| 1605s | Weaver's will items I can I can touch a |
| 1607s | little bit there's I won't be able to |
| 1608s | tell you much that's not in the post |
| 1609s | itself |
| 1611s | um |
| 1612s | so yeah do the game access based on XP |
| 1613s | gained while having them equipped yes |
| 1616s | how does it select the affixes uh so it |
| 1619s | likes rare affixes more yes it randomly |
| 1620s | picks one and it is a weighted |
| 1622s | Randomness so it does has specific ones |
| 1624s | that it likes more than others |
| 1626s | um |
| 1628s | are there ways to manipulate the axes |
| 1630s | anyway no |
| 1634s | uh |
| 1635s | will next patch be |
| 1637s | 1.0 or 0.10 |
| 1642s | oh oh like Point ten I see I see I see I |
| 1644s | see |
| 1645s | um I I do not have hard details on the |
| 1650s | um |
| 1651s | on the patch number for the next patch |
| 1653s | but I uh |
| 1655s | they |
| 1657s | were not planning on having a 0.10 |
| 1662s | um so like it'll be 0.9 X until it hits |
| 1665s | 1.0 is the plan |
| 1683s | so of those two things |
| 1686s | 1.0 will come first but this is the |
| 1688s | other one won't ever come |
| 1693s | uh what is your new favorite unique |
| 1694s | legendary that is coming you don't tell |
| 1696s | us what it does see a weapon Type R type |
| 1698s | it is uh I so like I like I said there's |
| 1700s | some that I just saw this morning for |
| 1702s | the first time |
| 1704s | um |
| 1706s | so I don't uh I don't I don't know I'm |
| 1708s | gonna I'm gonna withhold judgment myself |
| 1709s | even until the patch but of the ones |
| 1711s | I've seen so far |
| 1713s | um |
| 1715s | there was there was some armor that I |
| 1717s | really liked the look of that I don't |
| 1718s | think has been spoiled yet |
| 1723s | oh my goodness |
| 1726s | yeah that's what you get meteors to the |
| 1728s | face deal with it |
| 1731s | oh |
| 1732s | uh well only a few uniques drop with |
| 1734s | people as well will be like LP where all |
| 1736s | except if you can drop with it um the |
| 1737s | ones that can drop with it will drop |
| 1739s | with it and the ones that can't drop |
| 1740s | with it won't drop with it |
| 1742s | every time |
| 1748s | it's a specific type of unique and this |
| 1750s | is this is this comes back a lot too |
| 1752s | um because with with a lot of them with |
| 1754s | all of them they're designed |
| 1756s | specifically to have |
| 1758s | um |
| 1760s | to kind of fit this a little bit better |
| 1762s | so you you end up in situations where |
| 1763s | you're like |
| 1764s | like that's a terrible combination |
| 1767s | far less often |
| 1771s | and they're all they also start with |
| 1773s | like |
| 1775s | because they're most of them are going |
| 1776s | to get up to four extra affixes I think |
| 1778s | they all have a little bit a little bit |
| 1780s | less than you'd find in like just a raw |
| 1783s | like high-end item as far as affixes in |
| 1786s | general the count maybe one less |
| 1789s | all right next question from today's |
| 1791s | post can we assume legendary affixes |
| 1793s | don't change the level requirement |
| 1794s | anymore uh at least in the unique ring |
| 1797s | preview it didn't yes the um the Weavers |
| 1800s | Weavers will I know for a fact Weaver's |
| 1802s | will items do not change their level |
| 1804s | requirement as affixes get added to them |
| 1807s | and I'm |
| 1809s | pretty sure I know we I know we decided |
| 1812s | we would do this and I think because of |
| 1814s | the way it works it has to do this |
| 1815s | because we were as well as like this |
| 1816s | that uh unique the the the the the pink |
| 1820s | affixes don't actually change the level |
| 1822s | of the item and I'm pretty sure let's |
| 1823s | play this volunteers too I'm gonna have |
| 1826s | to wait till passions to be 100 on that |
| 1828s | one |
| 1829s | or ask me again after the stream but on |
| 1831s | the Discord and I might uh go look it up |
| 1833s | for you |
| 1834s | uh might be or someone can confirm |
| 1838s | um if if reimer's here or Kane's here or |
| 1840s | someone else that knows |
| 1844s | crazy but set items for the most part |
| 1847s | seem very underwhelming for the most |
| 1848s | part I would agree with you there are |
| 1850s | some really good ones but yes for the |
| 1851s | most part set items are underwhelming uh |
| 1852s | am I crazy this is the reason behind |
| 1854s | this map for this madness |
| 1855s | um |
| 1856s | synonyms are kind of scary |
| 1859s | uh from from our perspective from the |
| 1861s | developer perspective uh and and we've |
| 1863s | definitely aired on the side of caution |
| 1865s | with them and and aired as an |
| 1867s | appropriate term because they're not |
| 1868s | what we want them to be |
| 1871s | um |
| 1872s | and and we we do have a plan to bring |
| 1875s | them to where we want them to be we |
| 1877s | haven't executed the plan yet so um at |
| 1880s | least for this patch they will continue |
| 1881s | to be a little bit underwhelming |
| 1884s | um but the |
| 1887s | yeah like the a big part of it for a lot |
| 1890s | of people is that they don't they don't |
| 1891s | scale fantastic into the late late game |
| 1895s | I got confirmation yes legendaries |
| 1898s | um unique items don't have a way to |
| 1901s | change their level requirements so all |
| 1903s | the bass unique level requirements are |
| 1906s | that unique level requirements |
| 1907s | regardless of if it gets Weavers will |
| 1909s | affixes or legendary affixes added onto |
| 1912s | it so it is that's the level it is and |
| 1914s | it saves that level |
| 1918s | um |
| 1919s | what was I saying |
| 1920s | yes so settings have a lot going on with |
| 1923s | them their tooltips are huge I think I |
| 1925s | just got a ring |
| 1927s | yeah like this this is I think the |
| 1928s | smallest set item |
| 1931s | um |
| 1932s | tooltip of all I think this is this |
| 1935s | might actually be the smallest one |
| 1937s | um and you hold Alton it's already |
| 1938s | almost the hot full height of the screen |
| 1940s | you know and like so we actually when we |
| 1942s | were making the tooltip system we had to |
| 1944s | make a system to shrink tooltips so they |
| 1946s | wouldn't go off the screen uh up down |
| 1949s | um so like they dynamically change their |
| 1952s | size they can fit on the screen |
| 1954s | um even before holding All In some cases |
| 1955s | and |
| 1957s | um it's just it's just too much |
| 1961s | um too much stuff to just slap legendary |
| 1964s | potential on them but we do have a way |
| 1965s | that we think we can make uh set items |
| 1968s | uh like like like get the core |
| 1972s | um |
| 1973s | interesting part of a set item and uh |
| 1976s | incorporate that into your builds and |
| 1978s | have fun with it |
| 1980s | and I I kind of glossed over it but the |
| 1982s | one of the big reasons why they're scary |
| 1984s | uh is because you can really quickly get |
| 1986s | in a situation where your build is |
| 1988s | defined entirely by a set item or a set |
| 1992s | um and and having that situation where |
| 1994s | like oh I'm gonna play a a sort this |
| 1997s | this cycle and |
| 2000s | um oh the |
| 2002s | taraja said for lack of a better term |
| 2004s | just because that's the Stark set D2 |
| 2006s | yeah it's like oh towels is just just |
| 2007s | like the best set for it possible and so |
| 2010s | like like there's there's three quarters |
| 2013s | half three quarters of your gear is just |
| 2015s | dictated by the set and Away you go and |
| 2017s | and there's no real there's no real |
| 2019s | planning there's no real |
| 2020s | um like |
| 2022s | like oh how can I fit this item into my |
| 2024s | build and |
| 2026s | um like it it cuts away a lot of the |
| 2028s | other systems entirely |
| 2031s | so we do really want to get it involved |
| 2033s | more in the in your in your build |
| 2035s | crafting and have it be in a situation |
| 2036s | where it's not going to |
| 2039s | um kind of take away that a puzzle of |
| 2042s | putting together your gear |
| 2048s | uh |
| 2054s | uh how does one get the new Weaver items |
| 2058s | they uh you kill monsters |
| 2061s | got it |
| 2062s | uh after the 0.9 X cycle will will the |
| 2065s | next match be 1.0 or 0.10 1.0 |
| 2067s | you guys rock thank you buddy |
| 2070s | glad to have you here |
| 2075s | uh do you think you would do twitch |
| 2076s | drops big events like launch 1.0 um we |
| 2079s | don't have the system set up to do it |
| 2081s | for 1.0 |
| 2082s | um |
| 2084s | I have no idea what's involved with |
| 2085s | setting it up |
| 2087s | um I I do think it's a cool thing to do |
| 2089s | and I'd like to get get it going |
| 2092s | um |
| 2095s | I I think I think it's a fun it's a fun |
| 2097s | Community Building thing that um |
| 2101s | yeah I I don't I don't know the pitfalls |
| 2104s | of it well enough but |
| 2105s | um I I feel like that's in the need to |
| 2108s | explore further category |
| 2115s | oh oh what's going on there |
| 2117s | we're okay we made it |
| 2127s | uh awesome thanks I I have really spent |
| 2130s | quite a bit on another game that has MTX |
| 2132s | like that appreciate you guys answering |
| 2134s | my question you're welcome I don't know |
| 2136s | what the question was but I'm glad I |
| 2137s | answered it to your satisfaction |
| 2141s | uh next if I have two different rings |
| 2144s | that are Weaver's will will they have |
| 2145s | the same weighted chances because their |
| 2147s | Rings or will the weights be on the base |
| 2149s | itself a ring for many it would be nice |
| 2152s | to have a heavier waiting for Minion |
| 2153s | axis I don't know the answer to that |
| 2155s | question I'm sorry |
| 2156s | I I assume they'd have the same waiting |
| 2159s | um |
| 2162s | because having like unique specific wow |
| 2164s | maybe not though I don't know |
| 2170s | great question though |
| 2172s | I think we'll see uh we'll get more |
| 2174s | details about Weaver's will stuff in the |
| 2176s | uh in the patch notes I think |
| 2185s | any plans on possibly using loot filter |
| 2188s | type queries on your bank no |
| 2191s | maybe even letting you use them to put |
| 2193s | items in your bank um so |
| 2195s | uh have |
| 2199s | so I said no really quickly and usually |
| 2201s | that gets followed up with um wanting to |
| 2202s | to change the colors of things in your |
| 2204s | in your stash |
| 2207s | um there's there's a performance problem |
| 2208s | there this is the design decision this |
| 2210s | is a |
| 2211s | um |
| 2212s | sure like like a finger on the monkey |
| 2214s | spot curls and we add that and I I steal |
| 2216s | 90 FPS from you deal with it you know |
| 2219s | like like terrible things like that I |
| 2221s | don't know what the actual number is |
| 2223s | um |
| 2225s | but uh we we don't have a way to do it |
| 2228s | nicely at the moment |
| 2230s | um I think likely we'll be seeing some |
| 2234s | some regex adjacent uh search criteria |
| 2240s | um and I do really like the idea of |
| 2242s | having uh defines on specific tabs being |
| 2245s | like Oh okay if you have like exalted |
| 2248s | Rings they just like and you just quick |
| 2249s | move them into your in your stash |
| 2251s | exalted Rings all just go into this one |
| 2252s | tab |
| 2255s | or something like that having having |
| 2256s | loose the fines there's a lot of stuff |
| 2258s | in there that we'd like to do |
| 2260s | um and unfortunately it's it's just it's |
| 2262s | probably a post 1.0 feature set right |
| 2264s | now just because there's so many things |
| 2265s | you want to get in |
| 2266s | um |
| 2268s | and uh and mechanics like that that are |
| 2271s | like |
| 2272s | solid but maybe missing some nice little |
| 2276s | extra bonus feature the nice little |
| 2277s | extra bonus feature |
| 2279s | generally isn't a high enough priority |
| 2281s | to hit 1.0 generally that's not there's |
| 2285s | depends like |
| 2287s | um if we're like oh this is gonna take |
| 2288s | me two lines of code to change and |
| 2291s | 10 minutes of testing to confirm you |
| 2293s | know super low risk you know you slap it |
| 2296s | in type thing |
| 2298s | it's a little more involved though |
| 2299s | because there's a lot of performance |
| 2300s | concerns |
| 2302s | all right is it already known that if |
| 2304s | you bind your move key move key to right |
| 2306s | click it won't show The Click indicate |
| 2308s | on the floor anymore I didn't know that |
| 2310s | if you find a bug report please report |
| 2312s | it on if you find a bug please submit a |
| 2314s | bug report on our forums because telling |
| 2316s | me well uh just |
| 2321s | uh will eventually be a sixth class |
| 2324s | um I I think there's a very high |
| 2325s | probability of having a six class I I |
| 2327s | know there's I've I wrote the design |
| 2329s | document for us on it |
| 2331s | um and there are three class suggestions |
| 2334s | at the bottom of that design document |
| 2335s | with Masters |
| 2337s | huh |
| 2345s | so I'd love to I'd love to add a six |
| 2347s | class |
| 2348s | um we'll probably see fourth Masters |
| 2349s | before we see a sixth class |
| 2355s | uh I know those questions kind of out |
| 2357s | there but thoughts on adding more |
| 2358s | classes or sunglasses in our future yes |
| 2362s | uh How likely are Weavers will items to |
| 2365s | like |
| 2366s | equivalently roll up to four LP affixes |
| 2369s | I don't know I'm sorry |
| 2373s | uh finally assumer who pronounces my |
| 2375s | name correctly thank you yeah |
| 2379s | you're welcome that was a good one I |
| 2381s | enjoyed that a lot when is patch patches |
| 2384s | in six days oh patches in six days it's |
| 2387s | always terrifying to say out loud |
| 2395s | you know what I just remembered that I |
| 2397s | have and I completely forgot that I |
| 2398s | expect into it at all and I should have |
| 2400s | actually just taken some notes higher up |
| 2402s | there but that's okay I'm a Noob uh is |
| 2404s | is is uh free casting on that's not |
| 2407s | working what is going no |
| 2428s | some something Jackie's going on |
| 2431s | it's okay I'll figure it out uh you're |
| 2434s | happy with the new MTX update was |
| 2435s | released before you went live on Twitch |
| 2436s | yes very I I got to review it moments |
| 2439s | before it went live |
| 2450s | uh uh hi hello uh are there any plans to |
| 2454s | hide the loot beans for items hidden by |
| 2456s | the loot filter not specifically but if |
| 2458s | you have a suggestion please head over |
| 2460s | to our Discord reforms |
| 2469s | it could make sense I think there's |
| 2471s | situations where |
| 2474s | like exhausted or maybe unique beams |
| 2477s | were not Auto hidden by that or |
| 2478s | something or maybe a setting in your |
| 2479s | options let's make something I'd like to |
| 2481s | see |
| 2482s | I kind of like seeing them myself |
| 2486s | that sounds weird |
| 2519s | something's going on there that looks |
| 2521s | like she's going right through me |
| 2530s | nailed it |
| 2546s | Relic it's comically terrible |
| 2551s | oh I want Caspian but at the same time |
| 2553s | uh |
| 2556s | might just be better |
| 2568s | we're struggling with the Mana |
| 2573s | uh what's your favorite unique legendary |
| 2575s | that's coming you know tell us what does |
| 2576s | All Right audience that uh do you plan |
| 2578s | to add any limit break mechanics like |
| 2580s | ball skills uh from Poe or similar |
| 2585s | um |
| 2589s | it's different uh |
| 2591s | specific no but maybe |
| 2598s | uh what do you think about Public's |
| 2599s | response on uh Steam and Reddit about |
| 2602s | your post of the cash up well like are |
| 2604s | we are we talking about the uh first |
| 2606s | post or the second post |
| 2608s | um so I |
| 2610s | um |
| 2614s | I I feel like the way the questions were |
| 2616s | it's likely talking about the first post |
| 2619s | um but I don't know uh I very |
| 2621s | intentionally did not go look at the |
| 2623s | steam forums for it because |
| 2625s | oh |
| 2628s | it's it's difficult to have rational |
| 2631s | conversations there frequently |
| 2634s | um |
| 2635s | not impossible there's lots of great |
| 2636s | people on there for sure |
| 2638s | um |
| 2639s | but I find myself having a tough time |
| 2642s | also very inexperienced with the |
| 2643s | interface I never have used it as a like |
| 2646s | as a player myself |
| 2647s | on any other game |
| 2650s | so I'm just not used to it |
| 2656s | but um I can assume you're talking about |
| 2659s | the second post uh it's great I'm happy |
| 2661s | about the response I think it's |
| 2662s | wonderful |
| 2668s | uh can we up the epoch point value |
| 2670s | sportifax retain their full value I.E |
| 2672s | 500 points for 50 pack |
| 2674s | um I I I I can't make any uh comments or |
| 2680s | promises or anything like that |
| 2682s | um but just like every game suggestion |
| 2684s | if you have a suggestion or something |
| 2685s | you'd like to see the game please hand |
| 2686s | over to our forums uh post it there |
| 2694s | the like |
| 2695s | as far as I'm aware the the the the the |
| 2697s | supporter pack |
| 2700s | um |
| 2700s | is supposed to be here's here's a bundle |
| 2703s | of Cosmetics at uh like at a cheaper |
| 2707s | value at a cheaper price than they would |
| 2709s | be individually |
| 2711s | um and oh here by the way here's some |
| 2713s | extra points |
| 2724s | that's that's that's how I looked at |
| 2726s | them maybe that's wrong I don't know |
| 2737s | uh do you have any info when we'll |
| 2740s | release the last three Master yes 1.0 |
| 2742s | the number one point it was gonna be no |
| 2744s | I don't uh all right now I need you to |
| 2746s | use Morse code to tell us what it is |
| 2749s | I don't know what that sport sorry |
| 2751s | uh and I I know very little Morse code |
| 2757s | are you guys gonna update Reaper reform |
| 2758s | skills uh with any reform there's some |
| 2761s | like the the VFX for uh for uh reap |
| 2766s | changed |
| 2768s | but I think you saw that in the post |
| 2775s | it's mostly animation anyways though so |
| 2781s | I didn't remember said basically the |
| 2782s | exact same thing after me |
| 2783s | yep uh do you plan to use uh ladder |
| 2786s | feedback to bounce slash Nerf the |
| 2788s | outlier builds that are so far above the |
| 2790s | rest I feel pigeonhole in the moment |
| 2793s | um so there |
| 2795s | I I'm gonna answer this and I just want |
| 2797s | to be clear that I don't mean that |
| 2798s | that's the only thing which I kind of |
| 2800s | just answered it by saying that |
| 2802s | um yes we do plan to use data |
| 2806s | um as one small piece of the overall |
| 2808s | tools we'll use for balancing |
| 2811s | um |
| 2814s | like the I I would say more so using it |
| 2818s | as a |
| 2820s | um an indicator of things to look at |
| 2822s | than a uh rigid guide origin rules on |
| 2826s | what's going to change |
| 2828s | uh released |
| 2831s | seven months in a row thank you very |
| 2832s | much that's fantastic glad to have you |
| 2834s | here hope you're having fun |
| 2838s | um yeah so so yes but |
| 2841s | um usually the like the fear when I say |
| 2843s | that is like |
| 2845s | um just because the build's doing well |
| 2846s | it's gonna get nerfed into the ground no |
| 2849s | super no |
| 2851s | um |
| 2852s | if if we see the the latter is like the |
| 2856s | top 500 people are all playing this one |
| 2858s | build |
| 2860s | um |
| 2861s | like that's a that's that's an extreme |
| 2862s | case and we'll we'll use that as an |
| 2865s | interview and say hey we should go look |
| 2866s | at this and evaluate what we want to do |
| 2868s | about it |
| 2869s | um and one of those things could |
| 2871s | potentially be nerfing it but maybe it's |
| 2873s | maybe it's just a bug in there which I |
| 2876s | mean you know if we fix the bug and it |
| 2877s | causes it too less that isn't there for |
| 2879s | sure |
| 2880s | um but we're also committed to to um a |
| 2883s | few different things and um around |
| 2885s | balancing in general one of them is |
| 2888s | we know that people spend a lot of time |
| 2890s | building these characters and |
| 2892s | um it can feel really terrible to have |
| 2894s | something that that starts out |
| 2897s | competitive and then just gets like |
| 2898s | gutted into the ground |
| 2901s | um especially in the middle of a |
| 2901s | competitive cycle |
| 2904s | um so I will we'll attempt to do as few |
| 2908s | balance changes as possible during an |
| 2909s | actual competitive cycle when it's |
| 2910s | happening no the the the initial ladder |
| 2913s | launch I don't think we can count as a |
| 2914s | competitive cycle to start with |
| 2917s | um but like post 1.0 Cycles are going |
| 2920s | um bouncings that happen mid-cycle will |
| 2922s | be |
| 2924s | um |
| 2926s | especially major ones especially nerves |
| 2929s | will be for |
| 2931s | egregious problems and things that |
| 2933s | absolutely need fixing immediately but |
| 2934s | we'll focus The Bouncing efforts in |
| 2936s | between Cycles |
| 2937s | and then the second thing is also just |
| 2940s | um even if something is very very very |
| 2943s | strong |
| 2944s | um or even possibly overpowered you know |
| 2945s | like |
| 2948s | trying to bring it in line with other |
| 2950s | things sure |
| 2952s | um but having it having it suddenly |
| 2954s | become |
| 2955s | like |
| 2957s | empirically worse than |
| 2960s | you know uh like everything else like |
| 2962s | like if if something say say like you |
| 2964s | rate builds out of 10 and |
| 2967s | um we'll say like top tier competitive |
| 2968s | is 10 out of 10. and there's this build |
| 2970s | that's a 12. |
| 2971s | um the goal is to Nerf her down to a ten |
| 2973s | not Nerf it down to a or even even 11 |
| 2976s | even to like leave it overpowered but |
| 2978s | like |
| 2979s | not to Nerf it down to a four like that |
| 2981s | that's that's what we really want to |
| 2983s | avoid |
| 2984s | um and every case is different |
| 2987s | um every every situation is different |
| 2988s | and we want to approach them all |
| 2989s | individually |
| 2993s | who cares about that and we know that |
| 2995s | the 0.91 ladder experience is going to |
| 2999s | be a little lopsided for some builds in |
| 3001s | some classes and things like that |
| 3003s | um |
| 3007s | the the primary goal is getting that 1.0 |
| 3009s | ladder to feel fine and competitive and |
| 3012s | and uh yes we want the we want the |
| 3014s | ladder to be as awesome as possible the |
| 3016s | entire time |
| 3018s | um |
| 3020s | but having having those |
| 3024s | um you know it's it's a it's |
| 3026s | releasing the ladder now is as much for |
| 3029s | just testing the functionality like |
| 3031s | weeding out the bugs in the ladder |
| 3033s | itself |
| 3034s | um you know like like it's it's more |
| 3036s | about that for us right now than it is |
| 3037s | about having a competitive ranking |
| 3039s | system for people which I know some |
| 3041s | people really want and it's something |
| 3042s | that's really important to a lot of |
| 3043s | people and we're like we are adding that |
| 3046s | to the game |
| 3047s | um and so we do need to take that |
| 3048s | seriously but I uh I hope that the |
| 3054s | um |
| 3058s | uh Prestige from winning uh beta ladder |
| 3062s | is taken with a grain of salts |
| 3064s | oh it's not right way to say that |
| 3068s | there will be bugs |
| 3074s | we've just we've got to get these |
| 3075s | features tested |
| 3077s | um this is a lot of things like this |
| 3078s | that are really important features and |
| 3079s | if we if we release them at 1.0 there's |
| 3082s | this potential for huge problems that |
| 3083s | happen when we really want them to shine |
| 3085s | um and this game The Game's in this sort |
| 3087s | of like really weird state where we're |
| 3089s | so close to 1.0 and and the game's like |
| 3091s | starting to feel |
| 3092s | uh it's starting to feel great it's |
| 3094s | starting to feel like there's there's an |
| 3096s | expectation for high quality contents |
| 3098s | and features to drop right away |
| 3100s | um |
| 3102s | and we we definitely do our best to keep |
| 3104s | things as high quality as possible as |
| 3106s | they drop |
| 3107s | um |
| 3109s | but getting to getting to 1.0 is more |
| 3111s | important for us right now |
| 3117s | 1.0 in a timely fashion is more |
| 3119s | important |
| 3120s | yeah and having that 1.0 drop feel as |
| 3123s | good as possible |
| 3131s | uh |
| 3133s | every day |
| 3136s | how many people are working on this game |
| 3137s | actively oh I don't even know anymore 70 |
| 3140s | 80 |
| 3143s | include like |
| 3145s | everyone |
| 3149s | that's not just like people who are like |
| 3151s | I don't know in in the editor or |
| 3153s | whatever that's like |
| 3155s | everyone because everyone's working on |
| 3156s | it |
| 3164s | sometimes I'd argue my wife's working on |
| 3166s | it she hasn't done anything for it |
| 3168s | laughs |
| 3175s | I'm being told that apparently we've |
| 3176s | said 100 plus before which might be true |
| 3184s | it is it's interesting because like I've |
| 3186s | been around since there was a dozen |
| 3188s | people and |
| 3190s | um like you you get to know everyone |
| 3191s | really well and |
| 3193s | um like you know everyone's voice just |
| 3195s | by like they'll laugh and you'll be like |
| 3197s | oh I know who that was |
| 3198s | um and that'll be in a voice call and |
| 3200s | like I'll be talking to someone I'm like |
| 3201s | I have no idea who this is and I'm like |
| 3202s | I'm like fine like which lights lighting |
| 3204s | up to be like who is that |
| 3207s | it's a little weird sometimes |
| 3210s | uh to follow up on guaf's question let |
| 3214s | me find guat's questions I don't |
| 3215s | remember what it was uh oh ladder |
| 3217s | balancing yeah okay |
| 3220s | um any plan any current plans to |
| 3222s | implement an API to allow the community |
| 3223s | to view more than just the skills of the |
| 3226s | latter leaders |
| 3227s | um so the |
| 3231s | yes asterisk |
| 3235s | um |
| 3236s | we would like to add more involved |
| 3239s | information for people to have we know |
| 3241s | some people really don't want to share |
| 3242s | that information |
| 3244s | um |
| 3245s | and uh we know a lot of people really |
| 3248s | want to share that image so it's it's |
| 3250s | both for sure Dallas thank you very much |
| 3253s | that's a five gifts inside of the |
| 3254s | channel oh congrats everyone got one of |
| 3256s | those |
| 3257s | that's uh yeah who else no no more no |
| 3260s | more ehg uh access accidental gifts |
| 3263s | which is good |
| 3264s | well congrats to all of those |
| 3267s | and Beaty Yeti thank you for the sub |
| 3269s | glad to have you here |
| 3272s | um all right so we're we're not talking |
| 3274s | about oh yeah um |
| 3276s | ladders and being able to see what |
| 3277s | everyone's look um like gear and |
| 3279s | everything so yeah there's I think in a |
| 3281s | perfect world and and this is something |
| 3282s | that we're still figuring out what we |
| 3284s | can do what's possible how can we do |
| 3285s | this that it's that it works well and |
| 3287s | people can can interact it nicely and I |
| 3289s | think in like a perfect situation we'd |
| 3292s | have the ability to |
| 3294s | um give people and the work I do not |
| 3296s | think will ever get to the perfect |
| 3297s | perfect situation |
| 3299s | um |
| 3300s | but we'll get a situation where you can |
| 3301s | you can see anyone who like |
| 3304s | I don't know if it'll be opt-in or opt |
| 3306s | out but they'll be basically like two |
| 3308s | states of your of your account where |
| 3309s | like characters that you have in the |
| 3311s | ladder are hidden or mostly hidden or |
| 3313s | something maybe it's like maybe the |
| 3315s | state there that we have right now it's |
| 3316s | considered hidden so it's not like fully |
| 3318s | hidden but it's like obfuscated |
| 3321s | um and then |
| 3323s | uh have |
| 3328s | uh have another version where it's like |
| 3330s | just wide open you can just see |
| 3331s | everything you can see like the exact |
| 3332s | gear they were wearing their passives |
| 3335s | everything and I and yeah I think |
| 3338s | there's I think there's a version where |
| 3339s | both those are possible and like players |
| 3342s | either have to opt into or opt out of |
| 3344s | showing everything |
| 3350s | I could probably opt out |
| 3354s | because I mean for the most people part |
| 3355s | people will kind of not care |
| 3357s | and having that information available I |
| 3359s | think is more interesting |
| 3360s | for the people who do care |
| 3364s | um and then people who really don't want |
| 3365s | to show their stuff can not show their |
| 3368s | stuff |
| 3369s | I think that would be the best situation |
| 3371s | but like like I said this is still |
| 3373s | we're still working we're interested |
| 3375s | we're very interested in feedback people |
| 3376s | have about it so if |
| 3377s | um if you if you really want to see |
| 3379s | something in this category if you're |
| 3381s | like oh I'm not gonna participate in the |
| 3382s | ladder unless unless my stuff's hidden |
| 3384s | like no way or like I'll only |
| 3387s | participant the light if I can see |
| 3388s | everyone's like those are pretty extreme |
| 3389s | stances but just like we're just like I |
| 3391s | would prefer it if I could see this you |
| 3393s | know that sort of stuff's really really |
| 3394s | useful information so we are interested |
| 3396s | in hearing that sort of stuff |
| 3397s | and I think that will be |
| 3400s | um |
| 3400s | uh better feedback once it's 1.91's |
| 3403s | released |
| 3416s | now I want to know if the |
| 3421s | Wormhole node works if you've got Mana |
| 3424s | left let me do this |
| 3427s | yeah okay so just doesn't work when |
| 3428s | you're um interesting |
| 3451s | it's like a fire and ice rainstorm |
| 3453s | battle |
| 3462s | I almost got really calculated with it |
| 3464s | I'm gonna win and then it almost died |
| 3469s | oh |
| 3473s | let's you know drop a couple things that |
| 3475s | are super useless |
| 3483s | okay |
| 3489s | I love that one |
| 3497s | oh here's here's the one you'll be able |
| 3499s | to turn this off soon the name |
| 3503s | able to make names this this beer next |
| 3504s | match this one |
| 3507s | uh will you like to give us details at |
| 3510s | 1.0 within September |
| 3513s | uh I I have no idea I'm sorry Immortal |
| 3517s | emperor Journey |
| 3520s | uh so next patch is first cycle uh kinda |
| 3524s | in a way yes but like Define cycle is |
| 3526s | sort of the hard thing to do there it's |
| 3527s | the first like |
| 3530s | um ladder |
| 3532s | like uh um online ladder |
| 3537s | if I'd introduce Mike's beard as MTX my |
| 3538s | page would love to have it I trimmed my |
| 3541s | beard actually a couple days ago |
| 3543s | just tidied it up |
| 3545s | got it really is just the mustache just |
| 3547s | getting that so it's not like literally |
| 3550s | in my mouth |
| 3554s | uh how's the merchant skilled stuff |
| 3556s | coming along slowly |
| 3560s | but it's coming along |
| 3561s | so that's good at least |
| 3564s | spark no but I do like the idea of |
| 3566s | putting sparknoba in there |
| 3569s | um |
| 3570s | this is really tempting though just |
| 3571s | because |
| 3575s | so is that though |
| 3577s | these notes suck these notes are awesome |
| 3582s | uh last a bit of joke is last time I was |
| 3585s | like saying how great they were |
| 3590s | is that was that a lot of idol slots I |
| 3592s | just got |
| 3593s | I think it was |
| 3597s | it's like |
| 3600s | not awesome are they |
| 3611s | fire is that's for sure |
| 3615s | this is still wins in health |
| 3624s | uh I know it's probably low priority but |
| 3626s | the native Linux client has bad memory |
| 3628s | leak and after an hour to freeze up the |
| 3629s | entire system |
| 3631s | so wild I |
| 3633s | because I know that's been reported in |
| 3635s | the past and I know we like haunted it |
| 3638s | and like just couldn't Repro it at all |
| 3640s | for a long time and then we did |
| 3643s | and then uh we put in a bunch of stuff |
| 3646s | to fix it |
| 3649s | so I'm not sure how that's happening but |
| 3654s | if you do find any bugs which it sounds |
| 3656s | like you may have please report them on |
| 3659s | our |
| 3660s | forums |
| 3668s | uh |
| 3671s | have you guys given another thought |
| 3672s | about gender locked classes make the |
| 3674s | opposite sex models for them |
| 3676s | um I mean there's nothing new that's |
| 3678s | come up |
| 3679s | um we still intend to to add that |
| 3682s | feature eventually it's |
| 3684s | um |
| 3688s | one of those things that it is it's it's |
| 3691s | a priority thing |
| 3693s | um |
| 3694s | it's a very very large production |
| 3698s | investment |
| 3699s | to add that feature to the game |
| 3702s | um we believe there are other things |
| 3704s | that we have yet to add that are more |
| 3706s | important |
| 3707s | and uh |
| 3709s | we're gonna add those first |
| 3713s | it's about all it comes down to |
| 3719s | another shark my man itself I know but |
| 3722s | like |
| 3723s | fine |
| 3727s | I could I could just get like |
| 3728s | teleporting strikes with Mana strike |
| 3731s | probably way better |
| 3733s | not using flameboard at all actually |
| 3735s | you know what let's just let's do this |
| 3737s | because I'm not using it properly |
| 3741s | until burning strikes is it |
| 3747s | yeah |
| 3753s | and then uh just more Mana obviously |
| 3758s | it's just |
| 3760s | obviously this one |
| 3763s | yeah |
| 3782s | oh hello Mike long time hi |
| 3786s | good job on dealing with MTX issue but |
| 3788s | could you guys please reconsider the |
| 3790s | decision to making MTX not available in |
| 3791s | offline play thank you in advance |
| 3794s | um I there's nothing I can do with that |
| 3795s | right now do you have suggestions please |
| 3798s | head over to the forums but yeah the the |
| 3800s | um |
| 3804s | the way it is set up is an online |
| 3806s | feature |
| 3813s | uh I would say that the responses to the |
| 3815s | second post is maybe a little better |
| 3821s | we were reading extremely different |
| 3823s | responses |
| 3827s | one win from am I gonna slip into |
| 3829s | depression here and the other went uh |
| 3831s | let me go grab a beer and hang out on |
| 3833s | the patio |
| 3834s | didn't actually detect too much work to |
| 3836s | do but you know |
| 3837s | uh it's okay the support back to my |
| 3838s | opinion at least the prices are better |
| 3840s | than Poe |
| 3844s | uh will there be a character limit added |
| 3847s | to Le and is there a way characters over |
| 3849s | the limit to be deleted |
| 3852s | um there there is a limit technically |
| 3853s | right now |
| 3855s | um it was a technical limit for the |
| 3857s | initial online implementation that we |
| 3858s | were that we put in place in order to |
| 3861s | just make sure things didn't get out of |
| 3862s | hand |
| 3863s | um |
| 3865s | I I think that we plan to increase the |
| 3867s | limit but I don't know |
| 3871s | offline also as a character but it's |
| 3873s | like a thousand so |
| 3876s | I don't think you'll likely run that |
| 3878s | issue |
| 3881s | uh |
| 3883s | I have a feeling I'm skipping over |
| 3884s | questions so if you have a question |
| 3885s | please put at last EPA game in the |
| 3887s | question and I will answer it for you |
| 3888s | otherwise someone else |
| 3891s | might answered in chat volcanic orb tree |
| 3894s | rework when I don't know |
| 3897s | when when uh it's |
| 3899s | a high priority feature compared to |
| 3901s | other things |
| 3904s | there are other plans for Accelerated |
| 3906s | leveling campaigns gives also the future |
| 3908s | letter Cycles I mean um other than the |
| 3910s | ones that are already in New |
| 3916s | uh |
| 3919s | you said you guys don't Nerf the builds |
| 3921s | too hard but you nerfed all of them are |
| 3923s | into Oblivion now it's two out of ten |
| 3927s | we're gonna have to disagree on that one |
| 3930s | it has dropping pretty unique and it's |
| 3931s | boosted 3.9 or just to say the same 1.0 |
| 3933s | well when item factions releases |
| 3936s | the um the base drop right will be will |
| 3939s | be reduced |
| 3940s | um but you'll very quickly surpass that |
| 3942s | drop rate |
| 3944s | um by interacting with either of the |
| 3945s | item Productions |
| 3948s | drop it the wrong word item acquisition |
| 3949s | rate |
| 3953s | upgrade rate I don't know what you want |
| 3955s | to call it |
| 3956s | uh how do you feel about rewards uh for |
| 3959s | being top 100 200 or whatever the letter |
| 3960s | I I think there's a really good way to |
| 3962s | there are I think there's opportunities |
| 3965s | for good ways to do that and I've talked |
| 3966s | about this before how I would Implement |
| 3967s | if it was just like |
| 3969s | um like carte blanche go ahead Mike do |
| 3971s | what you want |
| 3973s | um and I I personally would like to if |
| 3976s | we're gonna if we're gonna do this I |
| 3977s | think it would look a lot more like |
| 3979s | almost like a |
| 3981s | uh I remember like this is gonna back |
| 3984s | when I used to play wow |
| 3986s | um you would you would get tokens |
| 3988s | for |
| 3991s | um |
| 3993s | like like tokens for your tier sets |
| 3998s | and I I'd really like to see something |
| 4000s | similar to that happen for like ladder |
| 4003s | rewards |
| 4005s | um so there wasn't this like |
| 4007s | issue of like missing out on it and then |
| 4009s | it like going away forever type thing |
| 4012s | um |
| 4014s | but having having some sort of like I |
| 4016s | don't know point system |
| 4018s | um |
| 4019s | where you can like pick one of some |
| 4021s | option uh like if you get enough points |
| 4023s | or something I don't know there's I |
| 4025s | think there's lots of ways to do it |
| 4028s | um where it's like really fun and uh |
| 4032s | doesn't doesn't like it acts as a nice |
| 4035s | reward for achieving something because |
| 4036s | because having those like hey look what |
| 4038s | I did here's this cool thing I got for |
| 4040s | being awesome I think those are really |
| 4042s | great |
| 4044s | um |
| 4045s | and I think there's a lot of pitfalls in |
| 4048s | uh in adding those and presenting them |
| 4050s | nicely |
| 4053s | um |
| 4054s | but yeah I I I I think there's |
| 4056s | opportunities for something to be there |
| 4058s | we don't have anything specific planned |
| 4060s | um |
| 4062s | yeah |
| 4064s | I hope that helps answer I kind of went |
| 4066s | into a little more detail last time |
| 4067s | about that question |
| 4069s | uh how asymmetrical are the rewards |
| 4071s | intended to be for upcoming factions I |
| 4074s | could see things emerging like uh trade |
| 4076s | Guild being good for uh rare only builds |
| 4079s | uh but worst option for other builds or |
| 4081s | is it hope that each faction has about |
| 4083s | the same access to exalted legendary |
| 4085s | gold Idols Etc |
| 4086s | um the goal the goal is so that they are |
| 4088s | roughly similar |
| 4091s | um we know they won't be the same and |
| 4093s | there will be some mathematical way to |
| 4095s | probably prove one's better than the |
| 4097s | other for certain things |
| 4101s | um the goal is to have almost everyone's |
| 4105s | decision boil down to do I like trade or |
| 4107s | not like if if if the vast majority of |
| 4110s | players are going into this decision |
| 4112s | with |
| 4113s | do I like trade or not and that's as far |
| 4115s | as the decision making goes oh we've |
| 4118s | nailed it |
| 4119s | um and and I I know that kind of does |
| 4121s | leave room for |
| 4123s | um maybe some people who are extremely |
| 4125s | competitive but really really like or |
| 4127s | dislike trade |
| 4129s | um to be a little bit disappointed and |
| 4130s | and it is really unfortunate if that |
| 4132s | happens to you I'm really sorry |
| 4134s | um and we're gonna do our best to |
| 4135s | mitigate that as much as possible |
| 4137s | um but we know that it's never going to |
| 4139s | be perfect and we it's it's never going |
| 4140s | to be exactly identical uh the goal is |
| 4143s | to have them be roughly similar and |
| 4146s | um |
| 4149s | and and be roughly competitive with each |
| 4150s | other |
| 4152s | I keep using the word roughly because |
| 4153s | it's never gonna be perfect |
| 4156s | uh I think I want to go up here |
| 4158s | just just that sweet crit multi we're |
| 4160s | doing great we're doing lightning meteor |
| 4163s | shower crit |
| 4165s | and could be a |
| 4168s | that's our goal here |
| 4173s | just |
| 4177s | oh |
| 4179s | well that's good that's a that's a |
| 4181s | wonderful affix to get |
| 4184s | Warden cleansing on potion use fantastic |
| 4186s | ethics |
| 4188s | uh is there any idea when we may see new |
| 4190s | factions coming and there'll be |
| 4191s | multiplier guy but I do find my ability |
| 4193s | to play multiple builds stagnating even |
| 4195s | with ability to Target Farm specific |
| 4196s | items um I don't have any details on |
| 4198s | exactly when |
| 4200s | um I I'd like to get it in before 1.0 I |
| 4203s | don't know if it'll it'll make it before |
| 4204s | 1.0 because there's a lot to do with it |
| 4205s | still and a lot of testing that has to |
| 4207s | happen with it |
| 4209s | it's still very early in development |
| 4216s | drop some stuff off in our stash sir |
| 4219s | our uh bags are filling up I'm not a man |
| 4223s | of many pockets |
| 4231s | you wear this ring |
| 4241s | I kind of want to just wear them |
| 4248s | just give us cast speed |
| 4252s | we do a lot of fire damage right now |
| 4262s | let's give it a shot |
| 4273s | just go for it and see if it's if it's |
| 4274s | fun |
| 4277s | I'm gonna do any coal damage I really |
| 4280s | need the other one |
| 4282s | but getting that it's basically sorry |
| 4283s | are we are we wearing this specifically |
| 4285s | just for that cast speed that's what |
| 4287s | that is that's not that's not good |
| 4288s | enough |
| 4299s | oh all right |
| 4304s | uh will the faction system be account |
| 4307s | wide or per character essentially can I |
| 4309s | choose to be both factions on separate |
| 4311s | characters of the same account so it's |
| 4313s | going to be both account wide and per |
| 4316s | character if that makes any sense so |
| 4317s | progression will be account wide but |
| 4320s | um representation will be character |
| 4322s | specific so um if you are on a |
| 4326s | um |
| 4327s | like you can you can say you say you |
| 4330s | start a rogue in a Mage and you put the |
| 4332s | Rogue on |
| 4334s | um circle of Fortune you put the Mage on |
| 4336s | um |
| 4337s | treasure Hunters where they are uh uh |
| 4340s | Merchant skills sorry |
| 4343s | and um and you and you level up one I'm |
| 4346s | just not gonna use the names so you you |
| 4348s | level up one you level up both of them |
| 4350s | you're like like trying you're playing |
| 4351s | both of the characters you're leveling |
| 4352s | both up you're going and then you're |
| 4353s | like oh I really like Merchant skills so |
| 4356s | much more and you can take your circle |
| 4358s | of Fortune character and just switch it |
| 4359s | to Merchant skill I know they're both |
| 4360s | Merchant skill and they're both keep |
| 4361s | level Merchant skilled and your circle |
| 4363s | of Fortune progress stays and then if |
| 4364s | you're like you're like oh you know what |
| 4366s | I changed my mind I'm gonna go back to |
| 4367s | Circle Of Fortune you take both your |
| 4368s | characters back to Circular Fortune |
| 4370s | that's totally fine |
| 4371s | um and the the one caveat is is that any |
| 4375s | gear that's tagged with an uh with an |
| 4377s | item faction requirement rank an item |
| 4379s | faction rank requirement doesn't change |
| 4382s | when you change the character so if you |
| 4384s | want to change your character and you |
| 4385s | have a bunch of items that have an item |
| 4387s | faction rank requirement you do need to |
| 4388s | replace those pieces of gear |
| 4396s | give me those ice beetles it's the |
| 4398s | second one of the second Frozen Hive |
| 4399s | I've got |
| 4419s | it all right |
| 4421s | uh your game is the only RPG I can play |
| 4423s | I love the Simplicity of making your own |
| 4425s | build and crafting your items awesome |
| 4427s | things please keep Simplicity in mind as |
| 4428s | you progress to development of the game |
| 4429s | we do try to |
| 4431s | um |
| 4433s | um promoting Simplicity is not really |
| 4435s | the way we look at it but |
| 4438s | um complexity needs a reason I think |
| 4439s | it's a better way to put it so like |
| 4442s | um we'll we'll add complexity to the |
| 4444s | game for sure ah if it if it has a good |
| 4446s | reason if it adds depth to the game if |
| 4448s | it adds interesting mechanics and things |
| 4450s | like that and I I think that um |
| 4454s | I think we do a pretty good job of that |
| 4456s | you always do a better job though right |
| 4470s | uh if I buy 50 packs with the MCX with |
| 4472s | lowercase your packs as well no it's |
| 4474s | just the pack that you buy |
| 4480s | uh what made you opt to keep idle slots |
| 4483s | or a lot of similar games cut them |
| 4485s | like like Idols like these |
| 4492s | I there's not a lot of games that do |
| 4494s | idle slots is it do you mean Relic slots |
| 4496s | like this one here |
| 4498s | if you're talking about this one |
| 4501s | um |
| 4502s | it's it's it was an attempt to have a |
| 4504s | really uh class |
| 4508s | um a really class themed |
| 4510s | item in your in your um inventory so |
| 4512s | like we really really try and push the |
| 4514s | class fantasies like like oh a quill is |
| 4517s | a very Mage thing to have as a relic |
| 4520s | item where it's like a quill on a |
| 4523s | primalist really what you know it seems |
| 4527s | Seems a lot less I mean actually you can |
| 4528s | make an argument why it works on a |
| 4530s | finalists but you know you know I mean I |
| 4531s | just picked a lot of random |
| 4533s | um we try to have that that like class |
| 4536s | fantasy push and it was a it was part of |
| 4537s | a way to to push that class fantasy |
| 4539s | through uh item-based types and then |
| 4542s | that lets us put specific |
| 4544s | um affixes and implicits on there as |
| 4546s | well to really Drive |
| 4548s | um like interesting implicits for each |
| 4550s | individual class |
| 4557s | because we wanted we knew we wanted to |
| 4558s | have three slots for that and then we |
| 4560s | actually had this a lot before we did |
| 4561s | this but we we did know that we wanted |
| 4563s | three slots for that |
| 4565s | um and Hellman chess worked really well |
| 4567s | because they are the |
| 4569s | um the really visually like the ones |
| 4571s | that stand out really visually heavily |
| 4572s | so like we don't have to make a crown |
| 4574s | sit nice inside and sitting perfect a |
| 4576s | crown sit nice on a primal say |
| 4580s | um |
| 4581s | which cuts down in Dev time |
| 4584s | which lets us put more awesome stuff in |
| 4586s | the game |
| 4587s | and that's the most important thing |
| 4588s | right |
| 4590s | right |
| 4593s | is there any way to have a portable |
| 4595s | stash it is technically possible |
| 4597s | um we don't plan to include one there |
| 4599s | there is there are a lot of stashes out |
| 4601s | in the world during activities that that |
| 4603s | you do so like |
| 4605s | um in dungeons have stashes at the start |
| 4608s | and end in some cases |
| 4610s | um possibly all cases actually and then |
| 4612s | the model in between every Echo is a |
| 4615s | stash like there's a lot of the things |
| 4616s | you're doing |
| 4618s | um like the arena has stashes in it a |
| 4620s | lot of the activities you're engaging in |
| 4622s | have frequent access to your stash |
| 4625s | um and we do that really intentionally |
| 4626s | but we don't want to just have |
| 4628s | um like |
| 4630s | we don't just want to be like |
| 4632s | magic stash plump |
| 4634s | you know |
| 4639s | uh |
| 4642s | uh the thing that just happened where |
| 4643s | you searched for Mana Advantage dragons |
| 4645s | something that's good as small annoyance |
| 4647s | me for quite a while now it would be |
| 4648s | nice to have a skill name |
| 4650s | um if the skill name wasn't included |
| 4652s | wouldn't be included in the search since |
| 4653s | 90 of the uh not 100 of nodes will be |
| 4656s | affected the original skill in all the |
| 4658s | skill trees yes |
| 4659s | um |
| 4660s | that search |
| 4663s | I'm the one that did it sorry it's |
| 4664s | terrible |
| 4665s | um it's really simplistic it's just like |
| 4667s | it's just like take take these six |
| 4670s | fields and and just like what's the |
| 4673s | what's the combined string for that |
| 4674s | search for the string in that field as |
| 4675s | soon as you find it just it's good |
| 4678s | that's that's it it's like it's really |
| 4680s | basic |
| 4681s | um and that's that's one of those things |
| 4682s | that we'd like to improve it we'd like |
| 4683s | to |
| 4684s | to add in |
| 4686s | um maybe maybe there's like a property |
| 4688s | feature this is like sort of stuff that |
| 4689s | I've considered adding to something like |
| 4691s | this |
| 4692s | um long-term feature thoughts you know |
| 4695s | I'll just be sitting outside relaxing |
| 4697s | and all all I can think of is oh how am |
| 4698s | I going to add to this |
| 4700s | um and you put something here and you |
| 4701s | have like |
| 4702s | um maybe like quick search options you |
| 4705s | can save where it's like damage or stun |
| 4707s | or shock and you can just be like like |
| 4711s | filter quick quick filter options you |
| 4713s | can see the five quick filter options |
| 4715s | you can save and it just like lets you |
| 4716s | quickly put things in that you search |
| 4719s | for frequently in multiple different |
| 4720s | trees and so you can just be like meteor |
| 4722s | click your damage one and it shows your |
| 4723s | damage notes which I know something a |
| 4724s | lot of people do |
| 4726s | I think that would help a lot |
| 4728s | and yes excluding things like the the |
| 4731s | name |
| 4733s | uh as like |
| 4735s | part of the string compare would be |
| 4736s | would be smart |
| 4744s | uh exciting My Fire Tiger MTX my fire |
| 4746s | necro build how big is that pet it's uh |
| 4749s | it's not huge it's |
| 4751s | um I would say medium |
| 4756s | none of the pets are that big really |
| 4757s | like the biggest pets |
| 4759s | what's the biggest pet so far it's |
| 4761s | probably the turtle |
| 4764s | oh that's my biggest pet |
| 4781s | iron didn't see you there |
| 4784s | oh |
| 4787s | uh hi Mike I have a question I have an |
| 4790s | answer uh regarding those language |
| 4792s | setting in last debug uh when will it be |
| 4795s | possible to set another language for |
| 4796s | example polish English or Russian in |
| 4797s | patch 1.0 or at all uh |
| 4801s | uh rights through a translator oh oh |
| 4804s | this was through a translator |
| 4806s | um |
| 4808s | uh like full full-on game localization |
| 4811s | so being able to |
| 4813s | um to set like the whole language of the |
| 4816s | entire game is something that we are |
| 4818s | actively working on uh I do not know |
| 4820s | when that's going to be fully available |
| 4821s | uh it's we're doing a lot more languages |
| 4825s | than we initially initially planned |
| 4826s | which is great |
| 4828s | um |
| 4829s | I |
| 4832s | I think polish is one of the languages |
| 4835s | oh it might not be though I don't know |
| 4837s | what the languages are |
| 4839s | yeah I don't I don't know if that's one |
| 4841s | of them uh I know I know Russian |
| 4845s | was was selected as one of them |
| 4848s | um I know like French is one of them |
| 4849s | Spanish is one of them |
| 4851s | um |
| 4852s | like I think all the e-figs is in there |
| 4854s | uh |
| 4856s | I know there's some with like |
| 4859s | that use these other character sets that |
| 4861s | use like um Japanese Chinese Korean |
| 4864s | character sets |
| 4866s | I'm sorry if I'm like horribly |
| 4869s | butchering these things I really |
| 4870s | apologize that's |
| 4872s | I'm just ignorant and and try I try I |
| 4876s | try to learn these things and I'm not |
| 4877s | good at it |
| 4881s | um |
| 4885s | but yeah we're working on that there's |
| 4886s | we ran into a problem with uh |
| 4892s | with like Korean chat recently in the |
| 4894s | combinatorial nature of it but I think |
| 4896s | we have a solution for it now uh it's |
| 4898s | it's a whole thing |
| 4906s | and let's see if has some bonus to go |
| 4909s | find I can see Merchant skilled |
| 4910s | characters having more access to gold |
| 4912s | which isn't necessarily more powerful |
| 4913s | but it's asymmetric in a certain level |
| 4915s | of asymmetry that is intended or desired |
| 4917s | any particular kind of item is she wants |
| 4920s | to keep exactly balanced between the two |
| 4923s | um okay so yeah yeah goal asymmetry I |
| 4926s | think is likely to happen just given the |
| 4927s | nature of it being the currency |
| 4929s | um but yeah like you said it's it's that |
| 4931s | doesn't apply directly to items so I |
| 4933s | think that the the important things will |
| 4935s | be looking at to keep |
| 4937s | um |
| 4939s | uh to to keep closer is is like the |
| 4943s | actual things things that will go in |
| 4944s | these slots |
| 4951s | so like maybe uh maybe you have access |
| 4953s | to way more Golds on Merchant skill |
| 4955s | let's say hypothetically |
| 4957s | um but maybe then at the same time |
| 4958s | there's like a |
| 4961s | a prophecy that says |
| 4964s | um like |
| 4966s | some some way to improve the the items |
| 4970s | that come out of or like be more be more |
| 4973s | specific in the items that come out of |
| 4975s | lightless Arbor so so yeah like the |
| 4978s | immersed skills going in there and |
| 4979s | dumping an extra 20 more gold into it |
| 4981s | but |
| 4982s | um the items that are coming out of the |
| 4985s | the CEO of cf1 maybe are 20 better on |
| 4987s | average so it's like it just evens |
| 4989s | itself out |
| 4992s | the actual items and please those |
| 4994s | numbers are just as examples |
| 4997s | um |
| 4997s | yeah like the things that you're that |
| 4999s | you're equipping is we want to be more |
| 5001s | uh |
| 5002s | in line with each other |
| 5006s | the goal is to have characters feel |
| 5008s | progressing at roughly the similar rate |
| 5011s | um and gaining power roughly a similar |
| 5013s | rate and like |
| 5015s | um |
| 5016s | like I I ideally if we if we listed the |
| 5019s | factions people were on and in fact as |
| 5020s | people were on on the on the ladder that |
| 5022s | it would just be like |
| 5024s | a smattering of both all over the place |
| 5025s | and you would be like oh there's no |
| 5026s | pattern |
| 5028s | that sort of thing and like who knows |
| 5030s | because and and that's not really a good |
| 5032s | indicator |
| 5033s | um as I'm saying I was like that's a |
| 5034s | terrible idea Mike because |
| 5037s | um I I feel like there's a good chance |
| 5039s | uh |
| 5041s | that they that they might |
| 5044s | um |
| 5045s | like attracts like like if one of them |
| 5047s | is slightly better than the other people |
| 5049s | who are more likely to compete in the |
| 5050s | latter will probably gravitate towards |
| 5052s | the one that is slightly better even if |
| 5053s | they are very similar if you were like |
| 5056s | um Force every other player to always |
| 5058s | play one of the other uh you'd end up |
| 5061s | with them being roughly equal on the |
| 5063s | ladder but I think because one of them |
| 5065s | will you'll naturally see it be |
| 5067s | um disproportionate on the ladder I |
| 5069s | think |
| 5073s | just because as soon as one of them is |
| 5075s | even even like half a percent bet on the |
| 5077s | other one I think they'll start to see |
| 5079s | that rise to the top of the ladder just |
| 5080s | because that's what it'll attract a |
| 5082s | similar type of player |
| 5098s | uh any plans for any more skills after |
| 5101s | at least to fill the classes more |
| 5102s | absolutely uh could you see something |
| 5104s | similar to a trans box system being |
| 5105s | implemented into the game as a |
| 5107s | possibility or something you guys have a |
| 5108s | reason for not wanting to do |
| 5110s | um I don't think we ever said we didn't |
| 5111s | want to do it um |
| 5115s | we've talked about |
| 5117s | um I know it's something we've we've |
| 5119s | discussed how we want to do it |
| 5120s | um |
| 5121s | we haven't put like hard |
| 5125s | um |
| 5128s | like like hard numbers on it |
| 5131s | instead everyone with that yeah it's |
| 5133s | over here still isn't it yeah area |
| 5149s | in there |
| 5151s | um |
| 5153s | okay what I was saying sorry |
| 5158s | transport yeah yeah transvog I could be |
| 5161s | sweet um |
| 5162s | there's how that how that looks long |
| 5165s | term I have no idea |
| 5166s | still always offer that |
| 5171s | uh although I have anything like |
| 5173s | peewee's Challenge Rewards not initially |
| 5175s | something to be keep me invested in each |
| 5178s | cycle since I don't care about uh |
| 5180s | competing with other people each ladder |
| 5181s | yeah I I think there's |
| 5184s | um |
| 5186s | I think there's uh |
| 5189s | if you yeah you put the nail on the head |
| 5191s | on on one of the reasons it's good to |
| 5193s | have |
| 5193s | um and there's it's gonna take uh I |
| 5196s | think it's going to be one of those |
| 5197s | things that we're going to need to be |
| 5198s | careful about how we implement it |
| 5200s | um to have it be something that people |
| 5201s | are excited about and |
| 5205s | um |
| 5206s | not have it be concerning |
| 5208s | like like I don't know some sort of |
| 5211s | um minimum achievement that's not |
| 5212s | relative to other players uh for for a |
| 5216s | specific bonus I don't know like I I |
| 5218s | don't know if it's the right way to do |
| 5219s | it or not I guess this is a suggestion |
| 5221s | and and please give us feedback on what |
| 5223s | you want to see |
| 5228s | don't forget to put a basketball game in |
| 5231s | the question please pretty sure of a lot |
| 5233s | of stuff still has visual bug we're both |
| 5235s | normal and lightning meteor cast and you |
| 5237s | cast meteors so be aware when you get it |
| 5239s | if I get it |
| 5240s | uh but yes it does it's that's been |
| 5242s | fixed though |
| 5253s | that's weird right I'm not I'm not crazy |
| 5256s | you're crazy |
| 5259s | uh hey at least last if I came to skins |
| 5262s | work with Drew Transformations over the |
| 5265s | Transmissions over by the MTX |
| 5266s | Transmissions will override the MTX |
| 5267s | right now um but this is one of the |
| 5269s | things where uh we do plan to add skill |
| 5271s | ntx as well so you should be able to |
| 5272s | have a way to |
| 5274s | um change the way your character looks |
| 5275s | in transform as well there's it's just |
| 5277s | certain things like your your bear |
| 5278s | doesn't wear a hat so having an MTX |
| 5280s | board is weird |
| 5282s | you know Cape might be kind of cool I |
| 5284s | know I know I know we tried it and there |
| 5286s | was horrible problems the bear looks |
| 5287s | terrible in a cape |
| 5290s | like really bad spring looks cool in the |
| 5292s | game bear looks bad |
| 5295s | um |
| 5297s | all right the new uniques have a really |
| 5299s | cool unique models any chance we see |
| 5300s | uniques with unique audio too uh I think |
| 5303s | they're already some Mage body armor |
| 5305s | with many pockets that gives a post |
| 5307s | voice line I see what you're trying and |
| 5309s | I'm still not going to pick that up |
| 5310s | that'd be funny I like that a lot |
| 5313s | is this is the things that like we're a |
| 5316s | couple years post released and we're |
| 5318s | we're able to like get these really |
| 5319s | cheeky fun things in there you know |
| 5321s | that's that's the sort of stuff that's |
| 5322s | the good stuff right there right |
| 5329s | I felt like a bajillion pings I'm just |
| 5331s | gonna take a quick peek because like |
| 5334s | it's one of those things that's like |
| 5335s | enough pings that you're like is |
| 5336s | something happening |
| 5338s | oh no oh no just PR's getting approved |
| 5341s | that's good |
| 5344s | oh yeah llama ignoring the uh |
| 5347s | dumping the devs |
| 5348s | rule |
| 5349s | yes I'm calling you out deal with it |
| 5351s | just kidding love you bud |
| 5357s | oh friends trying to organize a magic |
| 5359s | Knight yeah |
| 5362s | Aaron that's a nice title of your video |
| 5364s | thanks buddy all right we're good you |
| 5367s | know what you know what I we got to Lake |
| 5369s | Leaf I love likely f |
| 5372s | I don't know why but just |
| 5374s | it's nice here we're gonna let's let's |
| 5376s | take a peek |
| 5382s | you know what I'm gonna do |
| 5384s | oh I'm |
| 5387s | oh I don't know where this is gonna open |
| 5390s | okay give me give me like two seconds |
| 5395s | oh it's not right at all whatever |
| 5399s | it's a good thing I did that though it |
| 5400s | opened right in the center of my screen |
| 5404s | all right here we go |
| 5408s | boom it's another weaversville unique |
| 5415s | I got I got a big version up here so I |
| 5417s | can see it too because it's too tight |
| 5422s | uh so yeah so we got uh new boots with |
| 5425s | Weaver as well |
| 5426s | um |
| 5427s | increase moving speed up boots which is |
| 5429s | something everyone always wants uh haste |
| 5432s | uh for three seconds when a nearby enemy |
| 5433s | dies uh less damage over time taken |
| 5436s | while you have haste uh when you gain |
| 5438s | haste or refresh its duration you mean |
| 5440s | 17 Ward and your minions gain haste and |
| 5443s | frenzy for three seconds |
| 5449s | and it is a very low level unique |
| 5452s | that's level 16 unique |
| 5455s | I should have closed that |
| 5459s | does that show up on this it does you |
| 5461s | see a little you see it like minimizing |
| 5464s | that's funny |
| 5466s | it's fine |
| 5469s | uh okay |
| 5472s | you get screenshots screenshots all done |
| 5475s | he's asking each opportunity |
| 5478s | all right go |
| 5483s | uh |
| 5485s | hey Mike I just tuned in I didn't know |
| 5486s | if it was asked yet but are the item |
| 5488s | factions coming next week or not they |
| 5490s | are not item factions will not be coming |
| 5492s | next match no no no no no no |
| 5495s | that item faction's coming like oh my |
| 5498s | gosh that that's like headline hype news |
| 5500s | you know |
| 5504s | you'll know that's one of those things |
| 5506s | where always people like oh I didn't |
| 5507s | have no info that's like oh you'll know |
| 5509s | you'll you'll you'll have to avoid that |
| 5511s | information |
| 5517s | uh all right any plans to buff the less |
| 5520s | competitive skills with with the |
| 5522s | introduction of ladder I love the game |
| 5523s | so far but I fear love the game but I |
| 5525s | fear like if it's still it's the latter |
| 5527s | clutter with the same builds |
| 5529s | um |
| 5530s | there are like there's there are balance |
| 5531s | changes that are happening |
| 5533s | um there's we we haven't done a like |
| 5537s | really major bounce pass over all the |
| 5540s | skills for this patch it's not like |
| 5541s | we've gone through every every skill |
| 5543s | instead of like all right let's let's |
| 5544s | make sure like okay this one's |
| 5546s | underperforming how do we how do we bump |
| 5547s | this up without like without making it |
| 5550s | become like just a new part of this |
| 5552s | other build that's now too strong or |
| 5553s | something like that like we haven't we |
| 5554s | haven't done that yet |
| 5557s | um that is an important step that we are |
| 5559s | wanting to get through but um |
| 5563s | and there's been some some like some |
| 5565s | some obvious balances that need to |
| 5566s | happen things like that |
| 5568s | um no tempestrate still sucks |
| 5572s | it's essentially we don't want to make |
| 5574s | it good in his current version because |
| 5576s | we could just like turn the numbers up |
| 5577s | right |
| 5578s | um it doesn't feel good to play even if |
| 5579s | it is strong |
| 5580s | um like it needs it needs the |
| 5582s | functionality changes so we're like left |
| 5584s | it alone until the functionality changes |
| 5586s | happen |
| 5588s | I know it's a bit of a meme right now |
| 5590s | too I'm sorry |
| 5591s | uh Mike will be a feature in the near |
| 5594s | future future where we can save my build |
| 5596s | and then play another uh one that |
| 5598s | usually can respect back the save build |
| 5599s | instead of a full respect spending the |
| 5601s | points again this is a request for |
| 5603s | Diablo 3 armory style system |
| 5607s | um where you can switch between builds |
| 5609s | uh pretty quickly pretty easily |
| 5611s | um and and the answer is right right now |
| 5613s | we have no plans to add a system like |
| 5615s | that |
| 5616s | um |
| 5617s | and we are we are always looking for |
| 5618s | feedback |
| 5620s | um and suggestions and all sort of stuff |
| 5621s | but that that would be a very very large |
| 5624s | paradigm shift and it's extremely |
| 5627s | unlikely that that'll happen it's almost |
| 5629s | zero chance it'll happen for 1.0 like |
| 5631s | something something colossal would have |
| 5634s | to shift before 1.0 if we did that |
| 5636s | I hate just saying hard note of things |
| 5638s | but like probably not |
| 5642s | uh can dummies have a DPS meter no well |
| 5645s | I just I don't really say hard to know |
| 5646s | the things no |
| 5648s | uh what's your general opinion on |
| 5651s | developing using Community now the game |
| 5653s | is at scale that it is does it have any |
| 5655s | limitations you don't like yeah there's |
| 5658s | um every every single engine has |
| 5661s | limitations and things you have to work |
| 5662s | around |
| 5663s | um and and there's a couple things that |
| 5665s | we've we've struggled with here and |
| 5666s | there that would be nice if we could uh |
| 5668s | if we could fix and there's |
| 5670s | um usually we found workarounds for them |
| 5672s | over the years |
| 5674s | um |
| 5675s | there's a system where rebuilding from |
| 5678s | scratch right now that is uh |
| 5680s | uh a very important system that we're |
| 5683s | having to rebuild |
| 5685s | um |
| 5686s | you know that's absolutely there's |
| 5688s | there's things but |
| 5690s | um |
| 5691s | this this usually kind of stems from the |
| 5694s | same question of like do you regret |
| 5696s | picking Unity would you do something |
| 5697s | differently if you could go back that |
| 5698s | sort of thing and and no I definitely |
| 5700s | wouldn't |
| 5725s | like I I I do really like Unity still |
| 5727s | and |
| 5729s | um |
| 5730s | like I I make |
| 5732s | dumb little things that need to be all |
| 5734s | the time |
| 5735s | um just just dumb little things my buddy |
| 5738s | plays a uh play when people put all the |
| 5741s | magic gathering and my buddy plays a |
| 5743s | coin flip deck that |
| 5745s | um the first time he said to me in the |
| 5747s | first time he said in the middle of a |
| 5749s | game I flip a million coins what do we |
| 5751s | want to do about this guys I went okay |
| 5754s | I'm making an app for that |
| 5757s | and like super the wrong thing to make |
| 5758s | it in but I made one quick and unity |
| 5760s | because it's what I'm used to using |
| 5762s | uh and now that takes seconds to do |
| 5764s | which is great |
| 5767s | um |
| 5773s | so yeah I do I do use Unity for lots of |
| 5775s | things just fun little stuff all over |
| 5777s | the place |
| 5778s | um |
| 5781s | and if we were gonna like start another |
| 5782s | game or something I I feel like we'd |
| 5784s | still use Unity |
| 5786s | hello |
| 5789s | maybe that that that might be like |
| 5792s | reconsidered if it was another online |
| 5794s | game |
| 5796s | but you know this you get so much |
| 5797s | experience with this and this is a |
| 5798s | really interesting thing actually it |
| 5799s | comes that comes up a fair bit so like |
| 5801s | lots of companies have this issue where |
| 5803s | like you have um |
| 5804s | like uh what's it called bethesda's |
| 5806s | creation engine I think they called it |
| 5809s | um |
| 5809s | has some has some Jank to it it's why |
| 5812s | there's like kind of this Jank that |
| 5813s | happens in like like like new fall games |
| 5818s | come out new Ella shows game games come |
| 5820s | out and you're like you're like I bet |
| 5821s | this bug still works and it does and |
| 5823s | you're like why does that still work |
| 5825s | it's because it's an engine limitation |
| 5827s | and uh they've got the creation Engine 2 |
| 5829s | coming out right now |
| 5830s | um which is it's just I'm so excited for |
| 5834s | Starfield like yes |
| 5836s | um and anyways I digress a little bit |
| 5840s | um so yeah like there's there's there's |
| 5843s | a huge development cost switching |
| 5845s | engines in in training people with a new |
| 5848s | system uh to to just like |
| 5851s | problems that you don't know that you're |
| 5853s | going to encounter yet and have to fix |
| 5858s | so it kind of sometimes comes down to |
| 5860s | what's what's cheaper what's cheaper to |
| 5862s | what's more cost effective just working |
| 5864s | with the problems you know or rolling |
| 5866s | the dice of the problems you don't |
| 5871s | all right Mike will there be a |
| 5876s | uh will there be a near future |
| 5882s | oh you guys still wear bugs when using |
| 5885s | Warpath like not being able to stop |
| 5886s | spinning and sometimes spinning with |
| 5888s | nowhere path animation things yes it was |
| 5889s | very recently a bug fix that went into |
| 5891s | our development build for Warpath |
| 5894s | which is great |
| 5898s | I don't know if it fixes every single |
| 5899s | bug it has |
| 5901s | I'm sure someone will find a new bug |
| 5903s | it's a very popular skill |
| 5911s | escape button I swear I pressed it |
| 5914s | all right we'll skill effect MTX change |
| 5917s | depending on element conversion for |
| 5919s | example a Warpath MTX it looks different |
| 5921s | if it's converted to fire or void |
| 5923s | um I I think the the skill MTX will kind |
| 5927s | of just take precedent over conversions |
| 5929s | so like if you want to have the void MTX |
| 5933s | you can use the baseboard ntx and if you |
| 5935s | want to firearm shakes and use the base |
| 5936s | fire MTX |
| 5939s | um but oh hey you want this this like |
| 5942s | this other look like have the other look |
| 5945s | um |
| 5951s | I don't think there's many situations |
| 5952s | where you'd ever want to like switch |
| 5955s | back and forth between them |
| 5957s | like like you're you're never |
| 5959s | um I don't lose any skills where it like |
| 5961s | I guess I'm Elemental a little bit |
| 5965s | Elemental limit does this actually where |
| 5966s | it like picks one of them and just casts |
| 5968s | it |
| 5971s | um so maybe there's the exception of the |
| 5973s | role but I I think for the most part |
| 5974s | probably not it'll probably just be okay |
| 5976s | you bought you want your MTX to look you |
| 5978s | want your Warpath to look like it's cold |
| 5980s | even though it's doing fire damage it's |
| 5982s | doing cold you converge to void it's |
| 5984s | still doing looking like it's doing cold |
| 5985s | you know that sort of thing |
| 5990s | uh how are the Weber's will items going |
| 5992s | to be kept balanced or kept from |
| 5993s | becoming too op if you need to please be |
| 5995s | as vague as possible I mean a lot of |
| 5997s | their initial stats like raw stats that |
| 5999s | you see that you would see on like an |
| 6000s | exalted or or a rare item are pretty low |
| 6004s | and they're pretty they're pretty |
| 6005s | focused for the most part on |
| 6008s | um the unique interactions I say for the |
| 6010s | most part the unique interactions |
| 6012s | um and also just the weaversable number |
| 6014s | that it can drop with |
| 6018s | especially early on it'll be like you'll |
| 6020s | be getting them with lower numbers to |
| 6022s | start with |
| 6028s | and that's that's the number we can |
| 6030s | balance really easily so just like just |
| 6031s | having that Weaver's will drop rate |
| 6033s | chain like the that that value change |
| 6036s | um |
| 6037s | like the rate that it drops at at higher |
| 6039s | numbers you know that that's a really |
| 6040s | easy way to balance those items relative |
| 6043s | to other item types in the game |
| 6047s | there probably won't be perfectly |
| 6048s | balanced initially and we'll probably |
| 6049s | need to make some some adjustments |
| 6050s | either either cheer ups you know down |
| 6052s | something like that you know that's |
| 6053s | that's |
| 6054s | that's the sort of thing that we'll |
| 6056s | we'll find out once |
| 6058s | way more people get their hands on it |
| 6061s | tell us what's wrong with it |
| 6069s | will ladders be part of a new cycle at |
| 6072s | to level uh the playing field if not |
| 6074s | what chance the new players have against |
| 6075s | veterans |
| 6077s | um so the initial ladder launch uh is is |
| 6080s | we're not we're not starting a new cycle |
| 6082s | with initial ladder launch we're just |
| 6083s | adding to the game |
| 6085s | um but when ladders reset post like when |
| 6088s | 1.0 drops like a lot of reset |
| 6091s | um |
| 6092s | and like only new characters created |
| 6094s | after 1.0 will be eligible for the |
| 6096s | latter it's sort of like a very standard |
| 6099s | ladder system so yeah the the characters |
| 6101s | eligible for ladders will |
| 6103s | um need to be new characters as you go |
| 6105s | in veterans will still have an advantage |
| 6107s | though because of the experience that |
| 6109s | they have like as a player |
| 6113s | which I think makes sense |
| 6116s | that's something that's that's not |
| 6117s | something we'd want to take away I don't |
| 6119s | think either |
| 6120s | like I think that's a positive thing if |
| 6123s | um if you can learn and increase your |
| 6126s | skill level as a player and do better |
| 6128s | because you've increased your skill |
| 6129s | level as a player I think that's a |
| 6130s | positive feedback |
| 6134s | I don't know I could be wrong about |
| 6136s | these things I know I found myself |
| 6137s | questioning a lot of the things I've |
| 6139s | assumed about uh about like |
| 6144s | that I've |
| 6146s | taken my personal feelings for it and |
| 6148s | pushed that towards a like |
| 6152s | an assumption that other people feel the |
| 6154s | same way for a lot of these things |
| 6156s | quite a few times it's been very rough |
| 6159s | like I play games differently than a lot |
| 6162s | of people something I've learned |
| 6168s | I don't know |
| 6172s | maybe I'm just getting old |
| 6181s | I'm really excited for like 50 years |
| 6183s | from now just being like |
| 6185s | come on Holodeck right |
| 6194s | or at least like like the Oasis or |
| 6196s | something |
| 6199s | name name that movie or TV show |
| 6204s | oh dang it no it is a movie it was the |
| 6205s | wrong name oh no |
| 6208s | oh I just confused two things |
| 6211s | what was the one in |
| 6214s | the like Battlestar prequel spin-off |
| 6216s | Caprica what was that called |
| 6218s | because Oasis was |
| 6221s | um Ready Player One |
| 6225s | I don't know someone tell me |
| 6231s | just the Cosmetic changes |
| 6235s | I just saw the Cosmetic shop changes I |
| 6237s | wasn't upset about them before but |
| 6239s | changes are nice |
| 6241s | I I hope a lot of people have that |
| 6243s | feeling towards it |
| 6244s | um but I know I know a lot of people |
| 6245s | were really upset with it and I think it |
| 6247s | was justified |
| 6252s | and to everyone who expressed that upset |
| 6254s | in a positive and constructive manner I |
| 6257s | appreciate you a lot |
| 6270s | Let's uh |
| 6273s | you can have some spicy meatballs over |
| 6274s | there bud can we just go can we just go |
| 6277s | now we gotta wait don't we |
| 6282s | yeah over here |
| 6287s | okay |
| 6288s | more questions |
| 6291s | because I'm probably falling behind and |
| 6293s | I'm really sorry I don't run away |
| 6300s | okay don't die Mike can we expect some |
| 6303s | steam achievements in the future to keep |
| 6304s | us occupied while waiting for final |
| 6305s | release |
| 6306s | um I I I'd be surprised if the sea |
| 6309s | machines came before the final release |
| 6311s | um but yes we do plan on having steam |
| 6312s | achievements in the game |
| 6322s | and I I say so I say steam achievements |
| 6324s | they might not be done through Steam I |
| 6326s | don't know yet |
| 6328s | it's one of those things that's like it |
| 6330s | just makes so much sense to do it |
| 6332s | through Steam because they have such a |
| 6333s | great infrastructure for it built up |
| 6334s | already and we just have to like tie |
| 6336s | into that which is so nice |
| 6340s | um |
| 6342s | but I don't know maybe maybe there's |
| 6344s | some limitation or restriction that I |
| 6345s | just don't know about |
| 6350s | oh thank you |
| 6352s | oh it's so sweet |
| 6375s | man when I actually like use the |
| 6376s | teleport node properly |
| 6383s | getting some decent value |
| 6391s | I do need a ton more minutes I see a lot |
| 6393s | of flat Mana right now |
| 6396s | oh all right do you guys have official |
| 6399s | stats on when builds are being played by |
| 6402s | players and what item combinations and |
| 6405s | we'll be able to open the public like |
| 6406s | Peewee ninja |
| 6407s | um we we don't have that detailed |
| 6409s | information available yet um we are |
| 6411s | planning on making more detailed |
| 6414s | um |
| 6417s | heuristics |
| 6420s | you want to call them |
| 6421s | um |
| 6423s | how much we release it's it's Yeah It's |
| 6428s | tricky because there's there's the |
| 6430s | danger of okay you release that info and |
| 6434s | um |
| 6435s | sometimes |
| 6438s | hauls for changes to balance are blown |
| 6442s | out of proportion a little bit based on |
| 6444s | uh incomplete information or |
| 6447s | um a misunderstanding of that |
| 6448s | information sometimes other times it's |
| 6451s | fantastic uh so so exactly how we're |
| 6454s | gonna approach that I don't know |
| 6457s | uh can we expect some steamage audience |
| 6459s | that is uh it seems like your game is |
| 6461s | the only other only ampigee that doesn't |
| 6462s | require PhD to play I love the |
| 6465s | Simplicity of making your own build and |
| 6466s | crafting your own items please continue |
| 6467s | to keep Simplicity in mind as you |
| 6469s | Progressive development of the game I |
| 6470s | think I may have read that out obviously |
| 6472s | it seemed very familiar either way glad |
| 6474s | you're having fun thanks for enjoying it |
| 6482s | to be a good boy greetings |
| 6487s | no thanks |
| 6496s | take care of yourself I will thank you |
| 6499s | lady |
| 6501s | um how will jumping into the latter race |
| 6503s | work our players with full stash town is |
| 6504s | going to have an advantage it's only |
| 6506s | making new teams means nothing if they |
| 6508s | can uh just delve into the stash of |
| 6510s | increasing uh instantly power through |
| 6513s | um sorry so we're talking post uh post |
| 6516s | launch ladders |
| 6518s | um will be like |
| 6522s | um |
| 6524s | when a news cycle starts |
| 6526s | and you'd like to participate in a new |
| 6528s | ladder you have to create a new |
| 6531s | character with a new stash nothing from |
| 6534s | the previous one on that new ladder so |
| 6536s | you'll you'll be starting from the exact |
| 6538s | same equal playing field of everyone |
| 6540s | else there is literally zero mechanical |
| 6543s | in-game functional advantage to being an |
| 6547s | extremely experienced interfranchise |
| 6548s | player the only advantage that an |
| 6550s | experienced in a franchise player will |
| 6552s | have is the personal experience that |
| 6555s | they have the the personal knowledge and |
| 6557s | information and uh |
| 6560s | personal experience I don't know how |
| 6561s | else to say this that they that they as |
| 6563s | a player have |
| 6565s | um so you could put a player you could |
| 6567s | put a |
| 6568s | um |
| 6570s | a a uh a day one player on a |
| 6574s | five-year-old account and a |
| 6575s | five-year-old player on a brand new |
| 6578s | account and the they would have |
| 6581s | functionally identical |
| 6585s | um assuming the advanced player may have |
| 6587s | ntx that makes you look different but |
| 6588s | the function like like in-game |
| 6590s | functionality identical experiences but |
| 6593s | the enfranchised experience player would |
| 6594s | probably do better because of their |
| 6596s | personal skill |
| 6599s | so the only the only thing you can bring |
| 6601s | with you to a new cycle ladder is your |
| 6602s | skill and cosmetics |
| 6609s | are there any plans to look at the |
| 6611s | differences in loading time between |
| 6612s | online and offline play specifically |
| 6613s | want to party with others yes let me |
| 6615s | look at all the time |
| 6618s | um we're |
| 6619s | the the the the most |
| 6622s | knowledgeable and awesomeness developers |
| 6626s | we have are constantly working to |
| 6628s | improve our online play experience |
| 6631s | um |
| 6631s | who who are able to to make improvements |
| 6635s | there in advancements there |
| 6640s | we're we're we're rebuilding one of the |
| 6642s | systems we use from scratch to improve |
| 6644s | that experience right now |
| 6647s | where |
| 6648s | there's this there's all there's so many |
| 6650s | little projects that I'm just like if I |
| 6651s | say this no one there's gonna be like |
| 6652s | four people that are like oh I know what |
| 6653s | that is |
| 6654s | I'm like one of them the person that's |
| 6656s | doing it |
| 6657s | um but yeah like it's |
| 6660s | we're working hard on it it's a very |
| 6661s | very important thing |
| 6664s | um any new attack animations coming 1.0 |
| 6666s | I mean technically I think re-perform |
| 6667s | has new animations |
| 6668s | hot tub streams when that like I got |
| 6671s | that question a little while like a year |
| 6673s | ago or something that disappeared hadn't |
| 6674s | gone in a while oh man when I get a hot |
| 6676s | tub it's still my answer to that |
| 6678s | and believe me I am working hard to get |
| 6680s | a hot tub that's like |
| 6682s | yeah that's high on the list |
| 6693s | I think it's one of those things that |
| 6694s | like |
| 6695s | you you enjoy like there's there's this |
| 6698s | weird arc on a hot tub enjoyment here's |
| 6701s | here's my theoretical hot tub enjoyment |
| 6703s | graph |
| 6704s | over time |
| 6706s | okay |
| 6708s | so this is this is a terrible color to |
| 6711s | do this in on on uh |
| 6713s | I couldn't find that dot I just put down |
| 6715s | there |
| 6719s | so here is uh time |
| 6723s | and this is uh yay |
| 6728s | um |
| 6728s | and so you know like as as like this is |
| 6731s | age |
| 6733s | time age |
| 6735s | um so you start off and you can't really |
| 6736s | go on a hot tub as your little kid and |
| 6738s | then like you start to love hot tubs you |
| 6740s | get into like your teens uh you're like |
| 6743s | early early 20s uh you're 30 you still |
| 6747s | love hot tubs but it's kind of it's |
| 6748s | chopping off it's not as like it's not |
| 6750s | novel anymore you've been in a hot tub a |
| 6751s | bunch of times but then like you realize |
| 6753s | you're getting old and stuff starts to |
| 6755s | hurt you're like oh sitting in a hot tub |
| 6756s | is just wonderful again |
| 6759s | um and then you're like oh my goodness |
| 6761s | I'm assuming this is what happens |
| 6762s | eventually where you like I can't get in |
| 6764s | and out of a hot tub comfortably anymore |
| 6765s | and like you know hot tub enjoyment just |
| 6767s | drops off probably this this is this is |
| 6769s | my hot tub over time enjoyment graph |
| 6772s | uh totally accurate based on empirical |
| 6775s | data that I've collected over many |
| 6777s | generations now |
| 6784s | I just haven't worked in a in a paint |
| 6786s | graph recently so I thought I had to get |
| 6787s | sneak one in somehow |
| 6792s | questions I'm gonna try and like |
| 6795s | rapid fire some of these |
| 6797s | can you explain what caused the bug of |
| 6799s | dungeon bosses not dropping their |
| 6800s | uniques is when we fix the upcoming |
| 6801s | patch I do not know what that bug was |
| 6804s | um I I'm pretty sure it's been fixed |
| 6807s | um |
| 6809s | there's some of these online Bugs |
| 6811s | problems with them it's like we'll we'll |
| 6812s | get a bug reports we'll be like |
| 6814s | I just gotta paying I bet someone knows |
| 6817s | wasn't a bug it's intentional oh it's |
| 6819s | intentional never mind |
| 6822s | no it wasn't fixed |
| 6825s | moving on |
| 6828s | uh will Weaver's will will Weaver as |
| 6830s | well nice amount on these items be |
| 6832s | directly impacted I present item Rarity |
| 6834s | I'm asking because High corruption |
| 6836s | stacking currently doesn't feel very |
| 6837s | rewarding I would love to see more |
| 6838s | rewarding things uh from high corruption |
| 6840s | pushing I don't know |
| 6842s | um |
| 6843s | sorry find out |
| 6846s | I'd really like to get a um at some |
| 6849s | point free 1.0 I promise I'll do this |
| 6851s | 3.0 I'll get and and if I forget someone |
| 6854s | someone hold me to this |
| 6856s | um I'll get down sit down around with G |
| 6858s | and we will |
| 6860s | um we'll we'll hammer out exactly what |
| 6862s | increased item Rarity does |
| 6867s | all the edge cases |
| 6871s | if someone wants to get me a uh succinct |
| 6874s | all together one place question about |
| 6876s | all of the edge cases they have about it |
| 6879s | probably the answers to you faster too |
| 6881s | but you don't have to do that at all |
| 6882s | I'll do it |
| 6890s | uh what is the chance of getting more |
| 6892s | than 20 will on an item one percent or |
| 6894s | less any random estimate number please I |
| 6896s | think it's gonna be pretty low priority |
| 6897s | low chance I think it'll require you to |
| 6899s | be pretty far in the game to get that |
| 6900s | high because that's really high that's a |
| 6902s | lot |
| 6911s | that's gamer Mike's estimation by the |
| 6913s | way not developer Mike |
| 6917s | all right unfortunately anytime a new |
| 6919s | Shield comes out it's automatically |
| 6920s | discarded because Bastion is a thing uh |
| 6923s | items that are best in slot on any build |
| 6925s | are generally not good for the game |
| 6926s | without any plans to legitimately fix |
| 6927s | Bastion via feedback from the more |
| 6929s | experienced players and such |
| 6931s | um I I I don't think that it is |
| 6935s | uh as dire of a uh problem as we might |
| 6939s | think |
| 6941s | um |
| 6941s | but yes it is something that we are |
| 6944s | paying attention to and |
| 6946s | um |
| 6947s | when we when we do take a more |
| 6948s | fine-tooth look at the overall balance |
| 6953s | um I think there'll be more likely uh |
| 6955s | some changes there |
| 6963s | BSU best sci-fi show ever made Professor |
| 6966s | Chaos 88 we are good friends I don't |
| 6968s | care what you say we're good friends |
| 6977s | uh hello good sir hello |
| 6980s | will there be any new weapon bases uh |
| 6982s | not in point nine one but eventually oh |
| 6985s | maybe there is a 0.91 |
| 6991s | I don't think there is |
| 6994s | I'm not sure |
| 6995s | eventually there will be |
| 6998s | for example I'm playing as ignite Shield |
| 7000s | through a paladin there's no proper |
| 7001s | weapon bases to uh scale some damage so |
| 7004s | so |
| 7005s | um throwing damage we really |
| 7007s | intentionally don't put flat added |
| 7010s | throwing damage on uh weapons or shields |
| 7013s | in this case |
| 7014s | um so I I would not hold your breath on |
| 7016s | that one in particular |
| 7022s | and thank you Emma |
| 7027s | uh will this patch have more old 3D uh |
| 7031s | unique 3D models added I don't know I |
| 7033s | think so it's one of those things that |
| 7034s | we're just kind of like adding more and |
| 7036s | more and more so |
| 7038s | um |
| 7039s | I know the new ones that got added also |
| 7042s | got their models like the Weavers will |
| 7045s | like that sword got a model you know |
| 7047s | that sort of thing |
| 7053s | um but yeah more modeling still |
| 7055s | happening |
| 7057s | 1.0 is is the complete 3D models for |
| 7062s | uniques at 1.0 is is only going to be |
| 7064s | weapons |
| 7065s | there's only things that go in your |
| 7066s | hands |
| 7069s | I think there's there's some others too |
| 7071s | but like that's the only thing will be |
| 7072s | like completed |
| 7079s | uh does steam have Dev tools for |
| 7080s | developers in a sales assistant |
| 7082s | experience |
| 7083s | um scene has a ton of awesome tools that |
| 7085s | are fantastic |
| 7087s | uh |
| 7088s | couple things we've run into recently |
| 7090s | that I'm like duh I wish we could do |
| 7092s | this and it's like we actually had to |
| 7094s | make there's a second last Epoch on |
| 7096s | Steam |
| 7097s | you can't see it unless you're |
| 7100s | invited and it's not published and you |
| 7102s | can't buy it and you know it doesn't |
| 7104s | really do anything but uh it's there so |
| 7107s | we can test MTX purchases in sandbox |
| 7109s | mode |
| 7111s | um which I wish we could have done on |
| 7113s | the one that's already released without |
| 7115s | having to make another one |
| 7118s | but for the most part very smooth and |
| 7119s | their support super responsive so every |
| 7122s | time we have had a problem we're like |
| 7123s | how fixed and they're like you just you |
| 7125s | can't or this is how |
| 7129s | all right will there ever be a ladder |
| 7132s | released for standard uh mode down the |
| 7134s | road maybe uh when the first cycle ends |
| 7136s | Maybe |
| 7140s | it's a that's a tough one to do |
| 7143s | um |
| 7145s | there's |
| 7147s | there's some tricky stuff there we don't |
| 7149s | have plans for that initially but maybe |
| 7153s | uh what happens when the stash tabs |
| 7154s | bought during the season for example I |
| 7156s | currently have 30 stash dabs if I buy 15 |
| 7158s | stash dabs during the season well they |
| 7159s | all roll over to none that are |
| 7161s | characters that they get deleted I don't |
| 7162s | know yet |
| 7164s | um |
| 7165s | the like I would say at worst they'd |
| 7169s | become remove only tabs |
| 7173s | um |
| 7174s | so you could pull the stuff out of them |
| 7176s | for your standard |
| 7178s | um |
| 7180s | they're like I I can see options like |
| 7183s | for example having because the the the |
| 7185s | cost of of them ramps up as you go so |
| 7189s | like |
| 7190s | um maybe maybe having something like |
| 7194s | uh it figures out how much money you |
| 7197s | spent on those tabs how much gold you |
| 7199s | spent on those tabs not real world money |
| 7201s | in-game gold on those tabs and it like |
| 7204s | gives you the first X tabs that equal |
| 7207s | onto the two new tabs that you would |
| 7210s | have had to purchase uh if that makes |
| 7212s | any sense because like the price keeps |
| 7213s | going up so like |
| 7215s | um so you've got like 50 tabs on your |
| 7217s | standard account on your standard cycle |
| 7219s | and then like this this is just a |
| 7221s | spitballing examples of things we might |
| 7222s | consider we don't know what we're gonna |
| 7223s | do yet but like I I think this would be |
| 7225s | an interesting way to do it uh where it |
| 7227s | still is like gives you something but |
| 7228s | it's not just like |
| 7230s | um |
| 7232s | here you go you have a bajillion tabs |
| 7233s | now type thing |
| 7236s | so if you had like 50 tabs in your |
| 7238s | standard and then you have like 10 tabs |
| 7239s | on the cycle cycle rolls in those 10 |
| 7242s | tabs because you had 50 before those 10 |
| 7244s | or maybe you only pay for two new tabs |
| 7246s | 852 or something I don't know maybe |
| 7248s | something like that |
| 7254s | I think just I think just like straight |
| 7256s | up transferring them I don't think that |
| 7258s | would be great it might be possible I |
| 7260s | don't know |
| 7263s | if you've got feedback on what you'd |
| 7264s | like to see please head over to the |
| 7266s | forums and leave us some info and tell |
| 7268s | us what you want to see |
| 7269s | maybe we'll do it |
| 7271s | well at least consider it |
| 7277s | uh uh next question what happened I |
| 7281s | can't wait to figure out how to open the |
| 7284s | secret B level in the next patch |
| 7295s | all right are you able to get any info |
| 7298s | on any of the three unreleased classes |
| 7299s | if not NBD but would be cool to get some |
| 7302s | insight on where they are at in |
| 7303s | development sure I can tell you where |
| 7304s | they're at in development |
| 7306s | um |
| 7307s | well so they're all gonna be released |
| 7308s | 1.0 it's the plan |
| 7311s | um |
| 7313s | the |
| 7315s | Rune Master is the farthest along let's |
| 7317s | get the most stuff done on it uh it has |
| 7319s | all of its base skills implemented uh |
| 7323s | skill trees have gone through ideation |
| 7327s | um |
| 7328s | base VFX is uh very far along on all of |
| 7333s | them |
| 7333s | um conversion for nodes we think we want |
| 7335s | conversions for are started for most of |
| 7337s | them possibly finished |
| 7340s | um |
| 7341s | pretty sure animations are in for them |
| 7344s | uh |
| 7349s | what else is so it's basic root master |
| 7352s | is basically just like skill trees and |
| 7353s | good to go |
| 7354s | which is just skill trees just five full |
| 7357s | skill trees no big deal right it's a lot |
| 7359s | of work but still yeah |
| 7360s | um |
| 7362s | I think that's that's probably the next |
| 7364s | thing we're doing on on those masteries |
| 7368s | uh with the introduction of the uh will |
| 7371s | uniques Weaver's will uniques and unique |
| 7374s | semi-ledger potential sentiment |
| 7377s | sentiments looking even worse when |
| 7380s | comparing uh |
| 7384s | oh oh okay okay when competing in the |
| 7388s | same item slot are there any change |
| 7392s | I don't know what sentiments is |
| 7396s | Sentinels |
| 7398s | ml are pretty close Sentinels |
| 7405s | sorry I don't know what that means |
| 7414s | primary below said eventually yes not |
| 7416s | this patch thing with eventually yes not |
| 7417s | this patch all right sorcerer feels like |
| 7419s | a salt subclass any plans on updating it |
| 7422s | um yes when I don't know like we're like |
| 7425s | any like |
| 7427s | any any plans on updating class X yes |
| 7430s | when I don't know |
| 7435s | we're always planning on doing all the |
| 7436s | classes |
| 7438s | when we update 100 skills at the bottom |
| 7440s | of the list |
| 7443s | you know what I just did |
| 7445s | caught up to chat oh hey well we're just |
| 7448s | like just barely over time |
| 7449s | I didn't do terrible |
| 7451s | huh look at that |
| 7453s | not terrible I'll take it let's get a |
| 7455s | nice Waypoint next Waypoint we're speed |
| 7457s | run to the next Waypoint |
| 7477s | I will answer a couple more a little bit |
| 7478s | over time but that's okay |
| 7481s | how far are we away from this |
| 7483s | oh we're going that way aren't we |
| 7486s | nice |
| 7490s | the like line on what sort of gaps you |
| 7492s | can actually jump over is is very subtle |
| 7498s | and it has to do with the maximum uh the |
| 7501s | maximum amount you have to like turn if |
| 7503s | you're gonna like drive a car along the |
| 7505s | path how much you turn the steering |
| 7507s | wheel of that car is a lot of whether or |
| 7510s | not the Jump's gonna work or not |
| 7523s | come on seriously |
| 7526s | are the |
| 7528s | and I've got it in just the uh |
| 7531s | didn't update that's all |
| 7540s | I hate what my hair does with headphones |
| 7541s | on camera |
| 7543s | this is where it looks better out of it |
| 7546s | all right |
| 7548s | so let's go the wrong place |
