| 149s | other questions that are not lower |
| 151s | related questions totally fine to ask |
| 152s | those two |
| 153s | um it's it's not exclusive but um |
| 157s | yeah it's just the the main focus and |
| 159s | theme for today |
| 164s | so yeah um |
| 166s | you got a question right here kyle do |
| 167s | you have a favorite i don't can you see |
| 169s | the chat directly you have the shadow |
| 170s | yeah okay if you get any questions just |
| 172s | go for it |
| 173s | okay so uh nerdyjoe314 says kyle do you |
| 177s | have a favorite implementation of time |
| 178s | travel mechanics even if it's not the |
| 180s | one used nle |
| 182s | actually there is one that i |
| 185s | like a lot it's actually from that old |
| 187s | webcomic homestuck i |
| 189s | like the idea of doomed timelines from |
| 192s | that story quite a bit and just |
| 195s | complicated time loops that |
| 197s | like cause themselves to happen i've |
| 199s | always been a fan of the kind of |
| 200s | puzzle-like kind of time mechanics in |
| 202s | those kind of stories and i i find the |
| 205s | idea of just doomed timelines really |
| 206s | fascinating from that |
| 208s | so i would say that'd be my favorite |
| 210s | i'm gonna piggyback and say bill and ted |
| 213s | that's a good one too absolutely |
| 217s | um yeah if you do have a question you'd |
| 219s | like us to answer put at last epoch game |
| 221s | in the question or |
| 223s | uh if you want to just ask directly to |
| 224s | kyle you can tag him too i don't know |
| 225s | what he is in chat |
| 227s | um |
| 228s | if you want to just type in chat |
| 230s | people can just see what you are |
| 231s | yeah i forget what my twitch name is |
| 234s | um and then well yeah we'll be able to |
| 236s | see that's for the usual questions so |
| 237s | when will the full game be released when |
| 239s | it's ready |
| 242s | yeah so k.q kyle is |
| 245s | uh is the engine if you want to take him |
| 247s | directly feel free to you can do either |
| 248s | one of us |
| 250s | yeah |
| 251s | and uh next question is from quiet for |
| 253s | me it is a what is the canon timeline |
| 256s | you will follow or will you keep it a |
| 258s | mystery i will say in regards to the |
| 260s | what |
| 261s | canon timeline means is |
| 264s | really determined by |
| 266s | what all needs to happen to |
| 269s | have the certain endpoint that certain |
| 271s | forces you know |
| 273s | need to happen so the campaign timeline |
| 276s | would be as were they canon timeline |
| 279s | but the alter the timelines do exist in |
| 281s | the setting they're the alternate |
| 284s | timelines are canonical though there is |
| 286s | a canon timeline which the campaign |
| 288s | story sort of represents |
| 290s | and it's canon in an actual end universe |
| 293s | since |
| 294s | like |
| 295s | you've gotta like twist it |
| 297s | a little bit |
| 298s | yeah like there is a prime line |
| 302s | yeah prime prime timeline is a i think a |
| 305s | better way to kind of get that across in |
| 307s | far as like how the setting itself would |
| 309s | perceive it |
| 317s | sweet |
| 318s | multiplayer win when it's ready |
| 320s | multiplayer we are working on right now |
| 321s | we do have testing going for it um |
| 324s | we recently finished up our |
| 326s | uh community tester |
| 328s | test and we have been um |
| 330s | working on a new build for that and we |
| 332s | should be |
| 333s | moving along program's going great |
| 335s | there's no major stumbling blocks since |
| 337s | we've started the ct timeline |
| 339s | cct testing so that's good news there |
| 341s | but we don't have a date yet for it |
| 342s | sorry |
| 351s | will i ever get more swirl items maybe |
| 354s | all right i got another question from |
| 356s | perry the pig what's with the giant |
| 359s | black hole at the end of time will we |
| 361s | ever learn more about that or is this |
| 362s | there to be pretty |
| 364s | and |
| 365s | actually |
| 367s | so that buckle it just adds a little bit |
| 368s | more personality to the area a little |
| 371s | more ambience |
| 372s | and also i got an unrelated question to |
| 374s | ask in response where is orbus anyways |
| 377s | is there actually a location where he |
| 378s | physically is who knows who knows |
| 380s | completely unrelated question in |
| 382s | response to that one |
| 386s | uh another general question here um |
| 389s | when will they add multiplayer when it's |
| 390s | ready we don't have any details on it |
| 392s | yet will we ever get more squirrel items |
| 393s | maybe just a lot of similar questions |
| 396s | there um well i need to create a new |
| 398s | character to play multiplayer when it |
| 399s | launches yes or kind of play the ones |
| 401s | that i have today no the ones you have |
| 402s | now are stored offline on your computer |
| 404s | and we will not be transitioning them to |
| 406s | our servers |
| 407s | partially from a |
| 409s | fresh start perspective partially from a |
| 410s | securities perspective um yeah |
| 413s | so the the offline characters will |
| 415s | remain offline you will be able to |
| 417s | continue playing them offline as you are |
| 418s | now um but they will not transition to |
| 421s | the online environment |
| 425s | okay i've got another question from |
| 427s | tur 3k does that mean we'll go into the |
| 429s | black hole i i don't know if we're going |
| 431s | to black hole that might be important i |
| 433s | might not i just i don't know where i |
| 435s | don't know where orbis is who knows we |
| 438s | i don't know where we'll go to find them |
| 440s | anyways we have another question for |
| 443s | from quiet for me how did necrotic |
| 445s | magics come to exist we know it was more |
| 447s | like a science match compared to other |
| 449s | magics like natural elemental why can't |
| 451s | void and necrotic magic coexist in the |
| 453s | same spell |
| 455s | so |
| 455s | there are a few sort of layers to that |
| 458s | question |
| 459s | i will say that negromatic magics |
| 462s | have existed for a long time |
| 464s | it really just kind of what necromatic |
| 467s | magic really kind of is is yeah any kind |
| 469s | of magic that deals with souls or |
| 472s | reanimation or soul manipulation |
| 475s | if you're speaking more specifically |
| 476s | about the immortal empire style of |
| 479s | necrotic magic that came into the |
| 481s | forefront pretty early into the immortal |
| 485s | or the |
| 485s | early in the imperial era |
| 487s | after |
| 488s | humanity kind of got out from under the |
| 490s | gods and started doing their own thing |
| 492s | and |
| 494s | once the immortal emperor kind of rose |
| 496s | to power he started out as a mortal you |
| 499s | know human |
| 500s | and |
| 501s | once they had just |
| 503s | more resources at their hands no gods to |
| 505s | kind of you know guide them or tell them |
| 508s | what to do they start experimenting with |
| 510s | these kind of more forbidden magics more |
| 511s | and more and gonna sort of advance to |
| 513s | get into this more sort of science-like |
| 515s | shape so that's kind of |
| 518s | the short version of that is |
| 520s | necrotic match cases for a long time |
| 521s | it's been more of a kind of forbidden |
| 523s | kind of hedge magic kind of secret kind |
| 525s | of thing and it's really once the whole |
| 527s | empire really started to embrace it and |
| 529s | kind of feel it with this kind of |
| 531s | stolen divine magic they got from |
| 532s | killing the gods and without having to |
| 534s | push back from |
| 536s | these divine influences they're able to |
| 537s | really kind of get the steam rolling on |
| 540s | necrotic magic we're actually advancing |
| 542s | kind of turning into what you see in the |
| 544s | imperial era |
| 546s | and for the second part of that question |
| 549s | about |
| 550s | why can't void and aquatic magics |
| 551s | coexist |
| 553s | um there are a couple of examples of |
| 555s | them |
| 556s | kind of coexisting but it's never in a |
| 558s | very like |
| 559s | seamless like natural way the two |
| 562s | examples that come to mind immediately |
| 563s | are the emperor's remains at the end of |
| 566s | the ruined temple vetera and void harden |
| 570s | at the end of that ruin of the empire |
| 571s | timeline where |
| 573s | haren is now void corrupted i would say |
| 576s | both of those examples are |
| 577s | kind of special cases because of the |
| 580s | fact that yeah the void magic and |
| 582s | aquatic magic have a hard time |
| 584s | coexisting due to the fact that they |
| 585s | both sort of |
| 587s | work off of the same |
| 589s | like prey almost the same sort of like |
| 592s | fuel almost like i've gotten a rent out |
| 595s | version of this real quick yeah so |
| 598s | it's hard to see really like seamless |
| 601s | fusions of them because |
| 603s | void creatures and void like corrupted |
| 606s | things they aren't really alive in the |
| 608s | same sense as normal life would be so |
| 611s | you can't really raise them into undead |
| 613s | and conversely a lot of the sort of |
| 616s | soul and kind of vitality that the void |
| 620s | corrupts is kind of |
| 622s | frayed and damaged and you know |
| 624s | not |
| 625s | all together there anymore and on death |
| 627s | so they're kind of |
| 629s | if it's undead or if it's void it kind |
| 631s | of has a lot of the stuff that undead or |
| 633s | void would use already gone essentially |
| 637s | so the cases where you know void and |
| 640s | aquatic do interact are in special cases |
| 642s | like the emperor's remains that is more |
| 645s | so like avoid masses |
| 647s | puppeting the emperor's corpse anything |
| 650s | else rather than any kind of true |
| 651s | fusion and in haran's case haran has a |
| 654s | lot more of his kind of self still in |
| 657s | there in that timeline and that's how |
| 659s | the void is able to corrupt them despite |
| 660s | being undead in that like |
| 663s | and those are two definitely like |
| 664s | exceptions that kind of like what you |
| 666s | would normally see if you like in fact |
| 668s | in the ruined empire time and you see |
| 670s | you know undead and void right next to |
| 672s | each other and they're staying mostly |
| 674s | kind of independent fighting each other |
| 677s | largely due to the fact that they the |
| 679s | stuff that they would corrupt on each |
| 681s | other is already corrupted as it were |
| 684s | not sure if that answered the question |
| 685s | as |
| 686s | well as you'd like but that's |
| 689s | about it we're going to scroll up |
| 691s | there's more questions oh thank you |
| 693s | scroll up but we got some more questions |
| 695s | let's see here |
| 697s | will there be a lore explanation for |
| 699s | multiplayer from perry the pig this is a |
| 703s | like a concert we like threw around a |
| 705s | bunch way way way back when like back |
| 708s | like pre-kick starter when it was like |
| 711s | five of us i and i'm still a big fan of |
| 714s | the sort of like almost meta e concept |
| 717s | where pretty much |
| 719s | multiplayer other player characters are |
| 721s | pretty much |
| 722s | other travelers like a you know the |
| 725s | traveler from their own timelines that |
| 728s | does kind of |
| 729s | fly in the face of the you know canon |
| 732s | slash prime timeline answer from before |
| 734s | but that's kind of easily kind of |
| 736s | smoothed over by the idea that |
| 739s | you |
| 739s | individually are |
| 741s | the traveler that's in the prime |
| 743s | timeline whereas |
| 745s | the players interact with a multiplayer |
| 747s | are all from these secondary timelines |
| 749s | and thank you too i think it was perry |
| 751s | the pig again who said primary versus |
| 753s | secondary earlier no that's nerdy joe |
| 754s | three and four yeah |
| 756s | joe three one four i do like that |
| 758s | primary versus secondary terminology |
| 759s | there that's definitely helpful on this |
| 761s | so yeah like we threw around that i did |
| 763s | quite a bit a long time ago about other |
| 765s | players and multiplayer being |
| 767s | other you know quote unquote main |
| 770s | characters in alternate timelines that |
| 772s | aren't you who is in the canon prime |
| 776s | primary timeline |
| 779s | let's see here what's what's the next |
| 781s | one we have |
| 783s | from nerdy joe three and four will you |
| 785s | change the local save format to just how |
| 787s | easy it is to craft items |
| 789s | well |
| 790s | looking back at the history of well wren |
| 792s | and the imperial era i have no idea mike |
| 795s | what do you think i already answered |
| 796s | this one in text yeah so i was saying |
| 798s | there is that |
| 799s | obscuring that function for offline |
| 801s | saves is not going to actually do |
| 803s | anything to stop people from doing it |
| 804s | someone wants to they'll still do it um |
| 806s | just makes their life harder so probably |
| 808s | won't do anything we might change some |
| 810s | things a little bit but |
| 811s | um |
| 812s | if someone's gonna do that |
| 814s | someone will make a tool for it it won't |
| 816s | be that hard to do anyways so it's um |
| 819s | probably not worth their time and energy |
| 822s | we're just gonna make online awesome |
| 826s | it's a short answer |
| 827s | there was there was another question |
| 828s | there while we're on the topic of |
| 829s | knotler stuff um |
| 831s | in the model of fate when looking at the |
| 833s | second quest |
| 835s | of the last ruined timeline where you uh |
| 837s | where you have to defend gaspar against |
| 839s | waves of void monsters it seems gaster |
| 841s | is unkillable by monsters doesn't mean |
| 843s | he's the most powerful entity currently |
| 844s | maybe this is a |
| 846s | lower question after all uh |
| 849s | some things are there for mechanical |
| 850s | purposes to make things function |
| 852s | properly and we all know how much we |
| 854s | love defending ashley and re4 right |
| 858s | and i'll say lore wise the reason why uh |
| 861s | urzah can't be damaged by the void |
| 863s | monsters in that quest echo is because |
| 865s | he is especially |
| 867s | adept at portal interpretation magic and |
| 869s | he just teleports all the damage coming |
| 871s | in towards him away |
| 872s | nice |
| 874s | i like that |
| 876s | see this thing as well i feel like i'm |
| 877s | gonna learn just as much as everyone |
| 878s | else here today |
| 882s | because i get asked these questions on |
| 883s | my dive no idea |
| 886s | but the real answer is because if he |
| 888s | died and you know we don't want to have |
| 890s | that oh you failed the quest because |
| 892s | this npc died start over that's just not |
| 894s | fun ever heard of the term plot armor |
| 899s | uh all right we got another one from |
| 902s | quiet for me what is the power structure |
| 905s | of the gods are orbis and atera the |
| 907s | pinnacle then lugan herod and raya and |
| 909s | much also the lesser gods where does the |
| 911s | shade of orbis fall under this power |
| 913s | dynamic |
| 914s | i will say that |
| 916s | the terra and |
| 919s | orbis in this sort of hierarchy they are |
| 921s | definitely above lagon hera ryan majasa |
| 925s | and i would say more specific more |
| 926s | specifically lagaan here raya and majasa |
| 929s | are directly underneath the terra |
| 931s | whereas |
| 932s | orbis is sort of |
| 934s | uh |
| 935s | if you if you like like a like kind of a |
| 938s | tree kind of like branching out or |
| 940s | basically kind of branch out from the |
| 942s | same kind of like tier as a tara for |
| 945s | sure |
| 946s | with |
| 947s | raya lagaan majasa and hirot both being |
| 950s | directly under tara but not connected to |
| 951s | orbis if that makes any sense so family |
| 953s | tree wise they are |
| 955s | from you know under a terra but not |
| 957s | under orbus but orbis and terra are on |
| 959s | the same on the same tier |
| 962s | and the second part of that question in |
| 964s | regards to the shade of orbis the shade |
| 966s | of orbis is |
| 967s | not |
| 969s | it's sort of it's its own kind of |
| 971s | separate entity but not really the shade |
| 974s | of orbes is essentially a reflection of |
| 976s | orbis a sort of snapshot of his malice |
| 979s | and torment during the time he was |
| 980s | imprisoned |
| 982s | and |
| 983s | being reflections of orbis from this |
| 986s | kind of very specific snapshot orbits |
| 988s | can guide them in like you know certain |
| 990s | ways but they're kind of natural kind of |
| 993s | nature of you know this kind of pain and |
| 995s | torment kind of guides them to what they |
| 996s | do as it is now so |
| 998s | like orbis can control the shades but |
| 1001s | the shades |
| 1002s | and so the shades are definitely under |
| 1003s | orbis but the shades are also the sort |
| 1005s | of reflections of him |
| 1010s | so you could draw a parallel of the |
| 1013s | shades being |
| 1014s | just under orbis the same way that |
| 1017s | the divine era gods are just under terra |
| 1019s | but it's not exactly the same situation |
| 1021s | as these are snapshots of orbits rather |
| 1023s | than these more independent beings that |
| 1025s | the divine ever gods are should we do a |
| 1027s | little graph here so we've got |
| 1030s | sure |
| 1034s | all right so pretty much we're |
| 1036s | only dealing with two tiers here so |
| 1037s | we've got a terra and orbis on one |
| 1041s | the under terra we have the divine era |
| 1044s | gods |
| 1045s | and on orbis we have the shades though |
| 1047s | the shades are |
| 1048s | kind of the same entity as orbis but |
| 1051s | reflections of him whereas the lagon and |
| 1054s | the others are |
| 1055s | more independent |
| 1059s | kind of like that |
| 1061s | yeah exactly yeah |
| 1064s | like so like in this structure like like |
| 1067s | herod and you know the others they are |
| 1070s | no subservient to tara and if she was |
| 1072s | active if she was active in the divine |
| 1074s | era they would be you know following her |
| 1076s | you know orders and taking her calls on |
| 1078s | things |
| 1079s | but they have no such like connection |
| 1081s | obligation to orbis |
| 1083s | yeah despite orbis and their being on |
| 1085s | the same tier |
| 1090s | different departments you could say |
| 1093s | you're not my supervisor |
| 1095s | exactly exactly |
| 1098s | a quick question will be a class respect |
| 1100s | if you're asking if you can change your |
| 1101s | mastery class we don't plan for that to |
| 1103s | be an option at the moment but you know |
| 1105s | anything could change |
| 1110s | just call the other players mercenaries |
| 1111s | and call it a day |
| 1114s | yeah we're adding mercenaries to the |
| 1115s | game all the other players are your |
| 1116s | mercenaries and you are everyone else's |
| 1118s | mercenary as well |
| 1120s | i still like the idea that for from |
| 1122s | everyone's personal perspective they're |
| 1124s | the hero of their own story even though |
| 1126s | with you being the one actually |
| 1127s | controlling your screen you're the hero |
| 1130s | of your actual story and that's just |
| 1131s | getting splitting hairs either way yeah |
| 1134s | i love it |
| 1135s | yeah we got another question from uh ira |
| 1138s | weird i'm sorry i must pronounce that |
| 1141s | name we will we learn what happens with |
| 1143s | uh mortitus after we remove the spear |
| 1146s | and unrelated will get to see the |
| 1147s | emperor origin story |
| 1149s | i will say that |
| 1151s | the ramifications of mordatus being |
| 1155s | essentially like |
| 1157s | freed or just not in not being held |
| 1161s | by the spears presence anymore that is |
| 1165s | not really going to be |
| 1167s | explored in the campaign currently |
| 1171s | why there are |
| 1172s | plans to kind of potentially use that as |
| 1174s | a hook for some future content it might |
| 1176s | be a monolith thing it might be |
| 1178s | something else down the road but as it |
| 1180s | is it's sort of a |
| 1182s | a hook for later stuff |
| 1184s | and |
| 1185s | anyways |
| 1187s | as long as the ruined era happens it's |
| 1189s | going to you know |
| 1191s | really |
| 1193s | flow over and consume anything that |
| 1195s | words might have been up to at that time |
| 1196s | because |
| 1197s | you know |
| 1198s | it doesn't have enough time for that |
| 1200s | so |
| 1201s | mortise right now is sort of a two-bit |
| 1203s | continued plot thread that we have our |
| 1206s | disposal for later |
| 1208s | and the other side of the question about |
| 1210s | the emperor origin story |
| 1212s | that will be addressed in one of the |
| 1215s | future campaign chapters |
| 1217s | i'm not going to get into more detail |
| 1219s | than that but that is you will see |
| 1224s | you know someone become the moral |
| 1225s | emperor or at least just begin their |
| 1227s | path on that by the end of the campaign |
| 1233s | no foreshadowing at all |
| 1234s | [Laughter] |
| 1238s | okay got another one from random man |
| 1242s | random name x yeah you know also i just |
| 1244s | wanted for you to welcome everyone from |
| 1246s | monster club and stream i forgot to say |
| 1248s | that when you join but |
| 1249s | thanks for coming hang out lord stream |
| 1252s | howdy also spoiler alert heads up |
| 1255s | a little late uh yeah i'm trying to keep |
| 1258s | all the answers i have no have more |
| 1260s | details to my chest |
| 1263s | yeah anyways |
| 1265s | i think we're assuming that everyone |
| 1266s | here doesn't care about having plot |
| 1268s | spoilers from that's already in the game |
| 1271s | oh yeah if it's like already in the |
| 1273s | campaign chapters heads up it i'm |
| 1277s | yeah it's going to be talked about |
| 1278s | unfortunately |
| 1280s | like uh |
| 1282s | maybe one time we'll we'll schedule like |
| 1283s | a spoiler free lore stream we can talk |
| 1285s | all about the title screen of the game |
| 1293s | random name x |
| 1295s | lore question please explain how this |
| 1297s | character fits into the lawyer |
| 1299s | mike |
| 1300s | primalist |
| 1301s | it has been a long running just kind of |
| 1303s | inside joke in the community in the like |
| 1305s | company about mike looking like the |
| 1307s | prime list i know at least one of the |
| 1309s | primals like early models looked just |
| 1312s | like mike like |
| 1314s | like |
| 1315s | it was his face |
| 1318s | yes they did didn't they |
| 1320s | i remember that now |
| 1323s | it's not there anymore |
| 1325s | it's a completely different model from |
| 1326s | scratch now |
| 1327s | yeah |
| 1328s | i'll i'll say the lower expansion for |
| 1330s | that is a uh a small team with not many |
| 1334s | art art references |
| 1337s | no i used to live in the woods that's it |
| 1338s | i used to have a wolf buddy we hung out |
| 1340s | in the woods |
| 1342s | yeah |
| 1345s | okay got a question for mike from tur 3k |
| 1348s | you want to tackle that one |
| 1350s | um |
| 1351s | we already hit that earlier yeah you |
| 1352s | already had that earlier i'm sneaky |
| 1355s | you are sneaky |
| 1357s | okay let's see here we got one from |
| 1362s | a wild ozzy is it in theory possible for |
| 1365s | a trace of the void to follow you |
| 1366s | through time and afflict other timeline |
| 1368s | or other times or perhaps that just an |
| 1370s | idea for a future expat or something |
| 1373s | you kind of see it's less following and |
| 1377s | more so summoning but that you do see a |
| 1379s | little bit of something like that with |
| 1380s | apophis at the end of chapter nine where |
| 1383s | she summons in the void herself from the |
| 1386s | future to the divine era so the void can |
| 1391s | you know be beckoned into |
| 1393s | other times it's not completely locked |
| 1395s | into the ruined era which kind of you |
| 1397s | know increases the kind of scope of its |
| 1398s | threat |
| 1399s | and |
| 1401s | it also if you consider the void knight |
| 1403s | that you know it's following them no |
| 1405s | matter where they go so you do have a |
| 1407s | little bit of that it's |
| 1409s | not as |
| 1411s | like |
| 1412s | it's not it's not as |
| 1415s | would be good a good |
| 1416s | word for this |
| 1418s | it's not as volatile and fast as to be |
| 1422s | like oh if you are if you travel from |
| 1424s | the ruined era to you know another era |
| 1426s | as the player you are doing that time |
| 1428s | and place to being void consumed |
| 1431s | like it's not to that extent but |
| 1434s | it there is a bit of |
| 1437s | travel that can happen there that you |
| 1438s | can see with the void night as a class |
| 1440s | and what apophis is doing in |
| 1442s | chapter nine and |
| 1445s | even see a bit of that in some of the |
| 1446s | like malt echo systems where you have |
| 1449s | void creatures you know going into these |
| 1452s | places sometimes they shouldn't be in |
| 1453s | the monolith |
| 1457s | let's see here we got a |
| 1459s | another question from uh |
| 1462s | by rule is on i think it's more of a |
| 1464s | gameplay question |
| 1466s | will exist a simple way to leveling alts |
| 1468s | without having to replay the campaign |
| 1470s | um mikey won't hit that one yeah so in |
| 1473s | um |
| 1474s | single player it's gonna remain the same |
| 1477s | way it is essentially now where you'll |
| 1478s | be able to use |
| 1479s | um |
| 1481s | you'll be able to use uh dungeons to |
| 1484s | skip parts of the campaign they'll be |
| 1485s | more dungeons still be easier to do um |
| 1489s | in multiplayer you can get your friends |
| 1490s | to help you |
| 1492s | so there's that which will which can |
| 1494s | help a lot |
| 1495s | uh it's possible things that that could |
| 1497s | change slightly but right now |
| 1499s | they can help you a lot a lot a lot lot |
| 1501s | lot a lot you'll always have to complete |
| 1503s | some side quests in order to unlock your |
| 1505s | passive and idle slots um |
| 1509s | those do happen a lot faster once you're |
| 1511s | level 100 |
| 1512s | or |
| 1513s | 50 even |
| 1520s | okay got a |
| 1521s | another question from perry the pig how |
| 1524s | did you decide that grail was the last |
| 1526s | ever i want to |
| 1528s | well that's quite presumptuous isn't it |
| 1532s | objection leading questions |
| 1534s | that's a leading question |
| 1536s | who's to say that grill because they're |
| 1538s | molar emperor that's not substantiated |
| 1540s | in any way |
| 1541s | that was not in discovery |
| 1547s | drink lots of water buddy |
| 1549s | oh yes i am getting a little parched |
| 1551s | also have a gigantic water jug |
| 1560s | okay |
| 1561s | let's see what we got next |
| 1564s | there is a non-lord question regarding |
| 1565s | set items and how stamford's is |
| 1567s | legendaries do you want to hit that mic |
| 1568s | sure yeah it's we're still unsure |
| 1571s | exactly what we're doing with set items |
| 1572s | so they're kind of up in the air right |
| 1574s | now um the big problem with uh set items |
| 1577s | right now is the sheer volume of mods |
| 1579s | that they already get so adding new ones |
| 1582s | is dangerous in some situations |
| 1584s | i think i saw something there about set |
| 1586s | affixes being added in we actually had |
| 1588s | those for a while were very poorly |
| 1589s | received interestingly enough |
| 1592s | some people really loved them so i don't |
| 1593s | want to write that off completely but in |
| 1595s | general they were |
| 1596s | not |
| 1597s | great maybe we just didn't quite execute |
| 1599s | them properly so they could come back |
| 1600s | it's possible but um we're still we're |
| 1602s | still working out exactly what we're |
| 1603s | going to do with set items um |
| 1605s | they're we're well aware that they are |
| 1607s | not uh |
| 1608s | in the running for top-tier in-game gear |
| 1611s | at the moment |
| 1613s | please don't think we're ignoring that |
| 1618s | all right we have another question from |
| 1620s | random name x my favorite character is |
| 1622s | the lost spriggan in the lightless arbor |
| 1624s | we'll see him or his future progeny |
| 1626s | again if anything ever happened to him i |
| 1628s | would kill everyone in this room and |
| 1629s | then myself |
| 1631s | me too buddy me too well there actually |
| 1635s | was planned to be one more little kind |
| 1637s | of |
| 1638s | epilogue to the los briggins little arc |
| 1642s | back in the patch that they debuted in |
| 1644s | but we ran into some time constraints on |
| 1647s | that where |
| 1648s | i got most of it working but there's |
| 1650s | some like little elements that we didn't |
| 1652s | have ready in time so |
| 1654s | there is a small continuation to their |
| 1658s | story that i definitely have |
| 1660s | you know in the backlog ready to |
| 1663s | i want to get it into this next patch no |
| 1665s | guarantees no guarantees of course but i |
| 1667s | do have |
| 1668s | a little continuation for the lost |
| 1670s | spring plan that i would love to get in |
| 1672s | sooner rather than later |
| 1676s | oh and we have a another one from quiet |
| 1679s | for me with the flavor text of legacy of |
| 1682s | the quiet forest this branch will |
| 1683s | protect you if it when i cannot the last |
| 1685s | word is quiet heard from her force |
| 1686s | friend would impossible if i could get a |
| 1689s | npc and story related to spring lure |
| 1690s | long shot i know but my i'm the biggest |
| 1692s | nerd about spriggans taking my shot |
| 1695s | well it depends on whenever we add |
| 1698s | content that would go to |
| 1700s | the part of the world that that is |
| 1702s | referencing |
| 1703s | i could definitely see diving into that |
| 1706s | well whenever we add content that |
| 1708s | tackles that area but that is a big to |
| 1712s | be determined i would say but i i'm a |
| 1714s | big fan of spriggans as well i mean |
| 1716s | that's why i you know was pretty gung-ho |
| 1720s | about putting in the lost brigand when |
| 1721s | we put in that dungeon so i would love |
| 1723s | to get in more spring lore as well |
| 1728s | let's see here i just found a nice ring |
| 1733s | drag that tool tip up a little bit it's |
| 1734s | covered by my own face |
| 1736s | uh |
| 1739s | here |
| 1740s | nailed it oh nice oh that's a lot for |
| 1742s | business 30 35 nice |
| 1746s | alrighty |
| 1748s | another question from nerdyjoe314 |
| 1751s | you just answered a question about |
| 1752s | gaspar but called him urza i know you'll |
| 1754s | play mtg as gaspar based on urza so the |
| 1758s | i i interpreted the question as |
| 1761s | referring to the |
| 1762s | wrong elder |
| 1764s | due to the second quest echo and the |
| 1767s | ruin refuge |
| 1769s | or lost refuge i forget the exact name |
| 1771s | of that one |
| 1773s | in the in the storyline that had the |
| 1775s | same same situation |
| 1777s | yeah exactly like the uh that second |
| 1779s | question that does feature urza rather |
| 1781s | than gaspar and gaspar's in the third |
| 1783s | quest echo of that timeline so yeah it |
| 1787s | is ursa but it's spelled differently |
| 1790s | yeah it's about with the er z8 but |
| 1793s | i i |
| 1794s | i will say like is that based on the |
| 1796s | character directly since i i was sad to |
| 1798s | say i don't know mdg's urza's lore |
| 1802s | that well i know mike does because mike |
| 1804s | is a big into g fan |
| 1806s | but i |
| 1807s | am a big fan of that it i like that name |
| 1810s | a lot so i just gotta you know dove into |
| 1812s | that for that gaspar |
| 1814s | the like as in the elder gaspar his name |
| 1817s | is based off of a character for grown |
| 1819s | trigger also named gaspar which itself i |
| 1822s | believe is a reference to goddess of the |
| 1824s | uh the three wise men from |
| 1827s | old like you know |
| 1829s | bible holiday stuff |
| 1831s | i believe |
| 1834s | yeah that thing yeah |
| 1837s | but yeah so |
| 1838s | get gas bar is a reference of a |
| 1840s | reference |
| 1841s | love it |
| 1843s | okay let's see here |
| 1845s | got a another question from perry the |
| 1848s | pig or actually |
| 1849s | respecting i think that questions are |
| 1851s | being answered yeah prairie the pig if |
| 1853s | shade of war is a reflection of orbis |
| 1855s | and themed as void damage is this |
| 1857s | related to the void knight's echoes |
| 1860s | i could see the argument being made that |
| 1863s | the void knights echoes are reflections |
| 1865s | of the void knight in a similar way that |
| 1867s | the shades are reflections of orbis it |
| 1870s | it's kind of tapping into that same sort |
| 1872s | of magic the same sort of |
| 1876s | you know |
| 1877s | taking these kind of snapshots of |
| 1879s | this kind of like emotional and will |
| 1882s | state so i i i could see a |
| 1886s | a sort of symmetry between the void |
| 1888s | knights echoes and orbis's shades i can |
| 1891s | definitely see that |
| 1894s | get a uh really question from ira weird |
| 1898s | does that mean the shades are on the |
| 1899s | same power tier as the four lesser gods |
| 1902s | i don't want to say that conclusively i |
| 1904s | would say that they are very powerful |
| 1906s | beings and if they were to |
| 1909s | be active in the |
| 1912s | like prime timeline to the same extent |
| 1914s | that they are active in |
| 1916s | the like kind of morass of dead and |
| 1919s | broken timelines of the monolith gives |
| 1921s | you access to that they would be a big |
| 1924s | problem |
| 1925s | and i could definitely see |
| 1927s | them being |
| 1928s | a potential threat to the gods i don't |
| 1930s | want to say conclusively that they are |
| 1932s | on the exact same power tier though but |
| 1934s | it is comparable i would say it's |
| 1937s | comparable |
| 1939s | they're in the same conversation |
| 1941s | they've never gone up against each other |
| 1942s | so we don't really know right |
| 1944s | exactly yeah |
| 1947s | and like |
| 1949s | hmm i i just for later |
| 1951s | [Laughter] |
| 1954s | okay this here we got |
| 1957s | one from tur 3k |
| 1959s | do waypoints and portal from players |
| 1961s | serve a purpose only for gameplay or are |
| 1963s | there lore implications |
| 1965s | so they are prime they primarily exist |
| 1968s | for the gameplay but there are some more |
| 1971s | connections to where they aren't you |
| 1973s | know entirely gameplay abstractions like |
| 1976s | the waypoints are a |
| 1978s | old old technology from before the |
| 1981s | ancient era similar to the monolith that |
| 1982s | have just persisted and been unable to |
| 1985s | be like |
| 1987s | you know like |
| 1989s | damaged too much or alter too much |
| 1991s | across the arrows |
| 1993s | and that's actually part of the plot of |
| 1996s | i i'm so used to thinking of internal |
| 1999s | names for the chapters of german what |
| 2001s | number is chapter d that would that be |
| 2002s | chapter five the one where you're gonna |
| 2004s | be on majelka yes i always think of it |
| 2006s | as yeah that's five okay gotcha i'm |
| 2008s | we'll pick into internals of what we |
| 2010s | call that chapter d whenever we're |
| 2012s | talking dev stuff |
| 2014s | but anyways uh part of what you're doing |
| 2017s | in |
| 2018s | chapter five is getting access to the |
| 2020s | artificial waypoint and that kind of |
| 2023s | brings the waypoints a bit closer to |
| 2027s | having more implications and that the |
| 2029s | immortal empire |
| 2031s | wants to |
| 2033s | harness and manipulate their power but |
| 2035s | doesn't really have |
| 2036s | a good efficient way to do so so they're |
| 2039s | trying to approach create their own |
| 2041s | waypoint via the artificial waypoints |
| 2043s | that you encounter at the end of chapter |
| 2045s | five and beginning of chapter six |
| 2047s | so they do exist in world in the setting |
| 2051s | though like |
| 2053s | the primary reason is of course gameplay |
| 2055s | but yeah they they are acknowledged in |
| 2057s | the setting as existing |
| 2061s | though like really only you and other |
| 2063s | people with similar powers you have the |
| 2065s | kind of unfettered use of them like you |
| 2068s | do outside of like cases where the like |
| 2070s | motherboard is trying to make their own |
| 2072s | that they can use like that |
| 2075s | i'm going to take on the shade right now |
| 2077s | we're going we're doing a shade oh my |
| 2079s | gosh very often on stream cause i'm |
| 2081s | terrible at it |
| 2084s | what's your favorite shade combination |
| 2086s | of the what like 9 000 there are |
| 2089s | i like the ones with the mozzarella |
| 2090s | sticks and the chicken sandwich |
| 2094s | diet pepsi |
| 2096s | that's my favorite combo here |
| 2099s | ah storm close enough |
| 2101s | all right |
| 2102s | next question |
| 2104s | from ireland damn so wanted martinez to |
| 2107s | be the emperor |
| 2108s | i |
| 2109s | i'm a big fan of mordecai's as well and |
| 2111s | i do want to delve into his history and |
| 2114s | future story eventually |
| 2117s | it's just not |
| 2119s | quite what's going to be covered by the |
| 2121s | scope of the campaign but |
| 2123s | i will say i've got future story |
| 2126s | expansion you know continuation kind of |
| 2130s | notes and plans that do involve more |
| 2132s | tests so i |
| 2133s | eventually i do want to round back to |
| 2135s | him and say like hey what could he have |
| 2137s | gone up to if the ruiner didn't happen |
| 2140s | for example but that's |
| 2142s | big ifs and big down the roads |
| 2146s | okay |
| 2149s | from |
| 2150s | call from kath hool who |
| 2152s | when will the next big patch be and what |
| 2154s | will be in it i |
| 2157s | will answer for that's more of a less of |
| 2159s | a lore question but i'm gonna answer |
| 2161s | mike because he's dealing with a lot of |
| 2163s | things shooting very bad things at him |
| 2165s | um |
| 2166s | we are working on some cool stuff and we |
| 2169s | don't have a hard release date to say |
| 2172s | publicly you just say when it's ready |
| 2174s | [Laughter] |
| 2179s | all right it's it's just we don't have |
| 2181s | details uh set in stone yet it's |
| 2183s | really it's when multiplayer is ready to |
| 2185s | go and we're confident that it's gonna |
| 2186s | be a smooth multiplayer launch |
| 2187s | and then we'll keep the patch and |
| 2189s | everything else that gets made in the |
| 2190s | meantime gets added |
| 2193s | keep an eye out to our socials when |
| 2195s | we'll have some cool blog posts about it |
| 2197s | yeah i'm not gonna make marketing bad by |
| 2199s | saying something here |
| 2202s | i crushed that i just i just would put |
| 2203s | that out there just no problem |
| 2206s | nice |
| 2208s | okay we got a question |
| 2211s | from a pikachu song 989 what would be |
| 2214s | the likelihood of a personal domain |
| 2216s | system as in the i assumed that to mean |
| 2218s | a sort of hideout or |
| 2221s | personal housing system |
| 2223s | um |
| 2224s | we've talked about symptoms like that |
| 2226s | before i feel like we've generally kind |
| 2228s | of shied away from going too deep on |
| 2231s | that side of things uh what are your |
| 2233s | thoughts mike it's um |
| 2236s | so right now we really want the |
| 2238s | the the main player hubs to be places |
| 2241s | where you like see people and hang out |
| 2242s | and meet people and |
| 2244s | and and have that sort of sense of world |
| 2246s | specifically in end of time and a few |
| 2248s | other places too and having hideouts is |
| 2251s | usually the term we use for it um |
| 2254s | does create a lot of like it's a lot of |
| 2256s | fun to to build a hideout everything |
| 2257s | like that and it's something that we may |
| 2258s | add in the future but for now um |
| 2261s | until things are really established at |
| 2262s | least it's |
| 2264s | hard to justify creating a place where |
| 2265s | people can go |
| 2267s | hide out |
| 2268s | um and not not mingle with everyone else |
| 2270s | and i know a lot of people don't like to |
| 2272s | necessarily talk to people you don't |
| 2273s | have to but it's just having that sense |
| 2275s | of world where you can see other players |
| 2277s | um |
| 2278s | we think it's a really powerful tool so |
| 2279s | having um taking that away by adding in |
| 2282s | a hideout is |
| 2284s | possibly a downside to it and |
| 2287s | it doesn't really add anything to the |
| 2288s | mechanical features of the game so if we |
| 2290s | were going to add a hideout system we'd |
| 2291s | want it to have some sort of primary |
| 2292s | purpose and we don't have that right now |
| 2296s | and it's just it's a bunch of extra work |
| 2297s | that would delay launch so it's not on |
| 2299s | the 1.0 list but it's not on the |
| 2302s | never list either |
| 2304s | i've always been a big fan of like that |
| 2305s | sort of getting your personal touch to |
| 2307s | be seen in the world to be able to like |
| 2310s | you know put put up these kind of you |
| 2312s | know hey this is mine and it looks this |
| 2314s | way because i may look this way and |
| 2316s | other people's doesn't look like this i |
| 2318s | definitely that's definitely a big |
| 2319s | appeal to me and i definitely see you |
| 2321s | know that appeal there but yeah like |
| 2324s | i don't know what shape that sort of |
| 2325s | system will take in the future but we |
| 2327s | definitely you know acknowledge that it |
| 2330s | is |
| 2331s | interesting and a lot of us are |
| 2332s | interested in that as well but yeah we |
| 2334s | we want to kind of foster that sense of |
| 2337s | like community in a larger world |
| 2339s | no you know as much as we can so you're |
| 2342s | having those hubs where you see other |
| 2343s | players takes a little precedence over |
| 2346s | that but yeah eventually i do |
| 2347s | and i am a big fan of that sort of |
| 2350s | personal getting your personality across |
| 2352s | in the game in some way |
| 2355s | okay |
| 2357s | next question let me scroll down a |
| 2359s | second from quiet for me with the |
| 2362s | forgotten knight being a first iteration |
| 2363s | of the hero what will the rule be in |
| 2365s | future or will ever get more information |
| 2367s | about her role in the lore |
| 2369s | i will say the uh being the first |
| 2371s | iteration of the hero might be some |
| 2373s | outdated lore |
| 2375s | we've bounced around a couple times on |
| 2377s | her exact origin but i will say that i |
| 2380s | do want to do more with the forgotten |
| 2382s | knight in the future |
| 2384s | i |
| 2385s | whenever we have the content that |
| 2387s | involves tackling orbus directly i do |
| 2389s | want the forgotten knight to have a role |
| 2391s | there in some fashion |
| 2393s | i |
| 2395s | can't say anything concrete about what |
| 2396s | that could look like or be |
| 2398s | but i definitely want to get her |
| 2401s | involved more and that story beat of |
| 2405s | actually going to you know phase orbis |
| 2407s | directly will likely be one of the best |
| 2410s | times for us to dig deeper into the |
| 2412s | forgotten night and what we can do with |
| 2414s | her and just a little bit of kind of |
| 2418s | meta kind of background trivia about the |
| 2420s | forgotten knight the inspiration for her |
| 2422s | actually |
| 2423s | comes from the fact that way back when i |
| 2427s | think before |
| 2429s | back in kickstarter times and i forget |
| 2432s | if we made this change before we entered |
| 2435s | our first like steam alpha or not but |
| 2438s | the sentinel was not one of our |
| 2440s | characters way back when instead of |
| 2442s | sentinel we had the knight and the |
| 2444s | knight was a female character |
| 2446s | and |
| 2447s | eventually we |
| 2449s | swapped out the night for our sentinel |
| 2451s | that we you know no one loved these days |
| 2454s | and when that happened that actually was |
| 2456s | the inspiration for me to create the |
| 2458s | forgotten knight character that is the |
| 2461s | kind of meta behind the scenes origin of |
| 2463s | the forgotten knight she's supposed to |
| 2464s | be kind of a |
| 2465s | wink wink kind of hinty like |
| 2468s | you know acknowledging that the |
| 2470s | knight the female knight character that |
| 2472s | used to be a playable character in the |
| 2474s | past you know it's kind of a hint that |
| 2476s | she existed and the front knight is kind |
| 2477s | of |
| 2478s | like |
| 2479s | fourth wall breakingly kind of a implied |
| 2482s | to be |
| 2484s | that player knight that now is not |
| 2486s | normal player character |
| 2487s | but that's just the kind of meta behind |
| 2489s | the scenes kind of like inspiration for |
| 2491s | her |
| 2494s | trivia |
| 2495s | yeah |
| 2498s | okay we got one from |
| 2500s | v cognito will there be improved combat |
| 2503s | field dying animations and all those |
| 2504s | things you mentioned on forum in your |
| 2506s | last post and |
| 2507s | 0.9 or that patch is almost all |
| 2510s | multiplayer focused i'll let mike hit |
| 2512s | that if he doesn't mind um yeah so we we |
| 2514s | are |
| 2516s | i |
| 2517s | yes it'll be in there is the short |
| 2519s | answer um we're not really developing |
| 2521s | two |
| 2522s | halves to the game we're we're |
| 2524s | developing just the game now um |
| 2527s | so whenever we start adding in features |
| 2529s | like that it's it's |
| 2531s | goes for everyone like it's it's |
| 2535s | we're not to start excluding things |
| 2536s | intentionally like that so um |
| 2538s | yeah those those are those are coming |
| 2540s | um |
| 2541s | even if even if they're not in for every |
| 2543s | single enemy in the game by the time it |
| 2545s | rolls around we'll still include it for |
| 2546s | the ones that are |
| 2547s | um |
| 2549s | they're in for a ton of things though |
| 2551s | the floodgates opened recently and i was |
| 2553s | just shocked at how many things they got |
| 2554s | in for it it's a lot of little tiny |
| 2556s | things like um |
| 2558s | i i was playing i was playing a cinder |
| 2560s | strike bow mage on uh |
| 2563s | on online recently on our multiplayer |
| 2565s | test and |
| 2566s | um |
| 2568s | just like when things die and they're |
| 2569s | just like their body kind of like singes |
| 2571s | and you get that like |
| 2572s | nice effect that goes on it and |
| 2574s | everything it just looks gorgeous |
| 2577s | i don't know little things |
| 2579s | yeah i'm very excited for everyone to be |
| 2580s | able to get access to and see all those |
| 2583s | like little little combat improvement |
| 2585s | details that we're like have in the |
| 2586s | background right now very excited for |
| 2588s | everyone else to see how much cooler |
| 2590s | those make everything yeah |
| 2593s | we got another one from uh nerdyjoe314 i |
| 2595s | think this is another gameplay focused |
| 2597s | one are you doing to are you going to |
| 2598s | have party play options for xp scaling |
| 2600s | slash damage scaling so everyone at a |
| 2602s | party has an even chance to contribute |
| 2605s | um so we're not going to scale power |
| 2609s | um so when you hop into a party that's |
| 2611s | your character your character is as your |
| 2613s | character is um enemy toughness scales |
| 2616s | so like um that the health that enemies |
| 2619s | have scales up with based on the number |
| 2621s | of players so that the um |
| 2624s | basically your average damage output is |
| 2626s | kind of the what would be your normal |
| 2628s | damage output in the in from single |
| 2630s | player and it's not exact it's |
| 2634s | just a way to make it easier to |
| 2635s | understand the um |
| 2637s | as far as xp scaling goes it's the same |
| 2639s | as single player really nothing nothing |
| 2641s | much changes really um xp skilling it's |
| 2644s | all individual so you still get the same |
| 2646s | amount of experience from killing things |
| 2647s | um they're four times harder say you |
| 2649s | have four people but you've got four |
| 2650s | times as many people so you kill them |
| 2651s | four times faster so it's it evens out |
| 2654s | pretty stable um |
| 2656s | and then you have |
| 2657s | uh xp scaling is the same as single |
| 2659s | player where it's max five level |
| 2661s | difference uh going up so if you're |
| 2663s | level 10 and you're in a level 15 zone |
| 2666s | you're getting experiences though it's a |
| 2666s | little 15 if you're level 10 and you're |
| 2668s | you're in a level 100 zone you're |
| 2670s | gaining experience as though it was a |
| 2672s | level 15 zone still so you cannot gain |
| 2674s | experience faster than a zone five |
| 2676s | levels above your current level |
| 2678s | and that's the way it is in single |
| 2679s | player now too anyways |
| 2684s | good answer |
| 2686s | got another one from ira weird |
| 2688s | considering in the reign of dragons it's |
| 2690s | specifically specifically that the |
| 2691s | lesser gods failed to subdue the dragons |
| 2694s | is that the original reason they |
| 2695s | recreated slash came to be or was it |
| 2697s | just a coincidence within the primary |
| 2699s | and most other timelines that they just |
| 2701s | went to war so i would say that subduing |
| 2704s | the dragons is one of the reasons that |
| 2707s | the gods exist but not the like core |
| 2710s | reason the |
| 2711s | intent of the gods |
| 2713s | had for them was to essentially |
| 2716s | help her in guiding and protecting |
| 2719s | humanity |
| 2720s | at the beginning of whenever humanity |
| 2723s | you know emerged back into the world |
| 2725s | and the gods were set up to which yeah |
| 2728s | guide and protect them along with her |
| 2731s | throughout the sort of you know |
| 2733s | revitalization of the world but due to |
| 2737s | certain events |
| 2739s | a terror goes dormant instead leaving |
| 2741s | the gods on their own to kind of tackle |
| 2743s | this task of diving leading and |
| 2746s | protecting humanity and |
| 2748s | one of the many threats that they had to |
| 2751s | you know deal with were very much the |
| 2754s | dragons in addition to them there was |
| 2755s | also |
| 2757s | other like titans like like the stone |
| 2759s | tying the the mountain beneath that you |
| 2761s | see in one of the dungeons there were |
| 2762s | other titans like the mountain beneath |
| 2764s | at the ancient air as well that the |
| 2768s | four gods had to deal with on their own |
| 2770s | without a terror around that you know |
| 2772s | part of the reason why they exist is you |
| 2774s | know what's a deal with not just dragons |
| 2775s | but these other titans and really any of |
| 2778s | these other kind of |
| 2779s | threats and risks that would get in the |
| 2782s | way of humanity kind of |
| 2784s | flourishing and |
| 2786s | you know becoming the best that they |
| 2787s | could be as a tara intended |
| 2791s | let's see let me scroll down a second to |
| 2793s | find our nice next new question see here |
| 2801s | let's see here |
| 2803s | oh there's a line from taiyo games |
| 2808s | i don't know if that's actually a |
| 2809s | question or just a very long comment |
| 2817s | uh |
| 2821s | where's the end is it a question let's |
| 2822s | just see it too |
| 2824s | yeah i'm trying to see if i'm trying to |
| 2825s | parse if it's like a question or just |
| 2827s | commentary |
| 2829s | apologies |
| 2830s | i i think it's just i think it's just |
| 2832s | commentary it's very interesting stuff |
| 2834s | but it's |
| 2835s | yeah it doesn't really lead into yeah |
| 2838s | that's that's a very interesting very |
| 2840s | interesting look at that |
| 2842s | tell if you've got a question you'd like |
| 2843s | us to answer please post it |
| 2846s | yes |
| 2847s | up found a |
| 2849s | okay there's a combat field one |
| 2852s | sometimes we just get far enough behind |
| 2853s | that the questions start getting |
| 2854s | repeated because they think we're able |
| 2855s | to skip them |
| 2857s | yeah like uh apologies if it feels like |
| 2859s | we're coming quite we're just we're |
| 2861s | we're digging through these in order so |
| 2863s | we get a bit of a backlog yeah |
| 2865s | okay we'll lastly [ __ ] on steam deck |
| 2867s | maybe um some people already have it |
| 2869s | working we don't officially support it |
| 2870s | yet |
| 2874s | oh we have one from |
| 2877s | cebaron666 will we get cloak cosmetics |
| 2880s | that bald dude got one |
| 2882s | so mike are we gonna get close cosmetics |
| 2883s | i think i think the back slot is a very |
| 2887s | very fruitful space for cosmetics creamy |
| 2890s | from wrong |
| 2891s | i mean it looks like there's one in the |
| 2893s | cosmetics tab already |
| 2895s | yeah and uh internally we have some uh |
| 2898s | some concepts for some back slot items |
| 2900s | that are pretty cool also you're dying |
| 2901s | there you go yeah |
| 2903s | [Laughter] |
| 2906s | you won't be able to save me from |
| 2907s | looking at the stream oh god if only i |
| 2909s | could i would like nothing better to |
| 2911s | save your life |
| 2913s | all right we got from random name x lore |
| 2916s | question since y'all are big chrono |
| 2918s | trigger fans will there be a secret |
| 2919s | ending where we can meet and fight the |
| 2921s | devs i know promise mike is in the game |
| 2924s | all the clues are there |
| 2926s | uh what's the name of this emoji it is |
| 2928s | lol |
| 2929s | we don't have current plans for |
| 2932s | something like that but |
| 2933s | one thing we want to do eventually is |
| 2936s | vastly increase the sort of variety of |
| 2939s | events |
| 2940s | not only in the model of echoes but just |
| 2942s | kind of in the game in general and i |
| 2945s | feel like a secret moloth echo event |
| 2947s | where you fight |
| 2949s | secret dev bosses |
| 2951s | or even just meet dev based dev inspired |
| 2954s | npcs would be really interesting we |
| 2956s | don't currently have plans for it right |
| 2957s | now but |
| 2958s | that would be a fantastic little event |
| 2961s | to sneak in there once we can really get |
| 2963s | our teeth into increasing the variety of |
| 2965s | modeled events so big maybe big down the |
| 2968s | road |
| 2970s | i just want to say that arena bosses uh |
| 2973s | in limited rounds is a perfect place for |
| 2975s | something like that |
| 2977s | so you're right yeah definitely haven't |
| 2979s | thought about that before at all |
| 2984s | okay we got another one from ira weird |
| 2986s | if we go back to the mortise's story |
| 2988s | we'll see some of the pre-defined error |
| 2989s | story before he was imprisoned |
| 2991s | so as it is the |
| 2994s | four beacon of era like umbrellas we |
| 2996s | have you know ancient divine imperial |
| 2998s | ruined those are all like campaign wise |
| 3002s | specifically at certain kind of moments |
| 3005s | in those eras |
| 3007s | typically towards the ends of those eras |
| 3009s | where things are about to you know go |
| 3011s | down and kind of cause a big shift in |
| 3014s | the world state as it were and the |
| 3017s | mortitus events his backstory takes |
| 3020s | place |
| 3022s | pretty far back in the divine era but |
| 3024s | pretty far after you know the point you |
| 3026s | see in the ancient era so |
| 3028s | his backstory the events there don't |
| 3031s | really fit cleanly into the current |
| 3033s | campaign |
| 3034s | not just on that front but also while |
| 3035s | the campaign is dealing with i |
| 3037s | the best place to likely see his |
| 3039s | backstory in more detail would be in the |
| 3041s | shape of either a mole of alt timeline |
| 3044s | or some sort of other like |
| 3046s | post 1.0 kind of story expansion content |
| 3050s | where and that's a big if that's then |
| 3052s | that's all if the you know |
| 3054s | one of the next ones focuses |
| 3056s | no |
| 3057s | you know more on him |
| 3059s | so |
| 3060s | we don't have current plans for it but |
| 3062s | it is something i definitely want to |
| 3063s | delve into since like herod's backstory |
| 3067s | involving you know mortgages is one |
| 3069s | you know one of the kind of story |
| 3071s | threads that i'm very fond of personally |
| 3073s | that i definitely do want to explore |
| 3075s | more as we get into you know like |
| 3079s | content past what we're currently |
| 3080s | planning |
| 3083s | oh five ice beetles |
| 3085s | [Laughter] |
| 3087s | come with me my pretties |
| 3090s | okay from cafe who |
| 3092s | will it be new classes added at or by |
| 3095s | release if you mean base classes uh i |
| 3098s | might be confident in saying no |
| 3100s | the correct mic yeah no new base classes |
| 3103s | for release that we are |
| 3105s | we've got plenty of classes to do for |
| 3106s | release mastery classes there will be |
| 3108s | the three missing mastery classes |
| 3110s | uh falconer rune master and warlock will |
| 3113s | be added at least by 1.0 release they |
| 3116s | may be added slightly earlier they may |
| 3118s | not be added after it will be 1.0 at the |
| 3120s | latest for those three master classes |
| 3121s | and you'll have the full set um it'll be |
| 3124s | symmetrical and everything |
| 3126s | more master classes more bass classes |
| 3128s | those things could come after 1.0 but |
| 3130s | 1.0 we've got the |
| 3133s | classes we want mapped out ready |
| 3137s | well one day we'll have that barred monk |
| 3139s | artificer mix |
| 3141s | one day it's like four classes and one |
| 3143s | there |
| 3144s | just wait to get to the bees |
| 3147s | all right we got a question from master |
| 3150s | sword1291 |
| 3151s | what specific aspects of a tara's |
| 3153s | backstory his background history and god |
| 3155s | lore do you lore master see being |
| 3157s | relevant in an intro video for last |
| 3159s | epoch |
| 3160s | so |
| 3162s | it depends on what exactly i mean by |
| 3164s | intro video if you mean intro as in the |
| 3167s | beginning of the game i would say that |
| 3170s | the history that was relevant to the |
| 3171s | beginning of the game would be setting |
| 3173s | up the |
| 3174s | situation that the player find himself |
| 3176s | in in the divine era before |
| 3179s | they end up being pulled to the ruined |
| 3182s | era so |
| 3183s | if in that context i would say like |
| 3186s | the specific thing that an intro video |
| 3188s | like that would hit on is more clearly |
| 3191s | sort of laying out the |
| 3193s | the threat of raya and the divine era |
| 3195s | and the |
| 3197s | situation of the shards being you know |
| 3200s | sought after and important if we're |
| 3202s | talking about intro video as in like |
| 3204s | showing off the entire game itself as in |
| 3206s | a sort of like trailer as it were i |
| 3209s | would say touching on |
| 3211s | the fact that there was an ancient era |
| 3213s | with you know this |
| 3215s | temple and you know gods and that has |
| 3217s | like fallen to the ground and there's |
| 3219s | multiple different eras that all going |
| 3221s | to lead into this |
| 3222s | ruined era where everything is dead |
| 3225s | dying and being consumed by oblivion i |
| 3227s | would say like an intro video that is |
| 3229s | more comprehensive like that would have |
| 3231s | to kind of you know show like hey |
| 3233s | this world |
| 3234s | was this big beautiful you know high |
| 3237s | fantasy mythical place that over time |
| 3240s | turned into this kind of ruined purple |
| 3243s | goo covered buck |
| 3244s | and it's up to you to stop it |
| 3247s | so depends so short version is intro to |
| 3251s | the game as in just starting the game as |
| 3253s | a player character |
| 3254s | more clearly defining the divine error |
| 3256s | conflict enter the game as in showing |
| 3259s | off |
| 3259s | the game as a whole |
| 3261s | shoot very clearly hitting that note of |
| 3263s | the world's going to end up at this |
| 3266s | terrible place and you need to go back |
| 3268s | in time to stop that |
| 3270s | all right i just got a question i just |
| 3273s | want to highlight how crazy this item is |
| 3274s | that i just dropped |
| 3276s | um it's a single affix t7 |
| 3280s | item |
| 3281s | which which you like almost never see |
| 3283s | that like there's nothing else on it so |
| 3284s | it's an exalted item so there's a ton of |
| 3286s | forging potential on it so you put |
| 3288s | anything you want on it but it has a |
| 3290s | sweet |
| 3291s | relevant like good t6 rt7 epics i think |
| 3295s | it's crazy it's like the lightning |
| 3297s | hammer base with lightning damage that's |
| 3299s | nuts that's that's a that's a rare find |
| 3301s | right there i just i just want to point |
| 3303s | out it's cool there's also a question |
| 3305s | are you concerned about uh d4 and p poe |
| 3307s | 2 coming out potentially launching in |
| 3309s | 2023 no |
| 3312s | and i just went into an unnecessary echo |
| 3313s | because i could have just gone for the |
| 3314s | boss |
| 3317s | all right we got a question from uh |
| 3319s | uh how do you pronounce that |
| 3321s | malwax hits 200 |
| 3324s | um |
| 3325s | molex can't 200 why does hera die so |
| 3328s | easily to raya isn't he a god well |
| 3332s | it's about |
| 3333s | how they have kind of applied their |
| 3335s | powers as it were and what they have you |
| 3337s | know |
| 3339s | been working towards and you know done |
| 3342s | in the events leading up to that |
| 3344s | herot had approached doled out |
| 3347s | more of his power to say like mortis and |
| 3349s | protecting and you know guiding |
| 3352s | you know people near borea more so than |
| 3354s | raya who's been more focused on the sort |
| 3356s | of aggression and |
| 3358s | you know being this |
| 3360s | powerful you know |
| 3361s | threat himself |
| 3363s | and combined with that is also in |
| 3366s | that fight itself herod is worried about |
| 3369s | protecting the you know humans on his |
| 3371s | side or with them including you the |
| 3372s | player whereas raya is much less |
| 3375s | concerned about collateral damage in |
| 3377s | that sense and has you know feels no |
| 3380s | need to kind of hold back in any way |
| 3382s | and so really if you look at a certain |
| 3384s | way it's because you the player were |
| 3385s | there that he died how how terrible |
| 3388s | how good how terrible i'll tell my box |
| 3390s | head to 200. |
| 3394s | just in case anyone's new here he knows |
| 3396s | how to pronounce it |
| 3397s | [Laughter] |
| 3401s | hey |
| 3403s | okay last i got another question |
| 3409s | if they think you're thinking we're |
| 3410s | calling about iron weird not tagging |
| 3412s | properly geez |
| 3413s | yeah gosh don't you know how to show how |
| 3415s | do we do things here mocks duet |
| 3418s | also just someone knows we're not just |
| 3419s | bullying or random person chad that's |
| 3420s | actually the game director |
| 3422s | [Laughter] |
| 3426s | anyways |
| 3427s | ex eisenguard x |
| 3429s | what real world mythologies did you guys |
| 3431s | end up drawing from the parabolas stuff |
| 3432s | from the kabbalah and hindu mythology |
| 3434s | ended up looking well researched imo |
| 3436s | oh it's it's |
| 3438s | it's a big melting pot it's very much |
| 3442s | pulling from |
| 3444s | what kind of story threads just really |
| 3447s | resonate with what we're trying to get |
| 3448s | across for each kind of set piece like |
| 3453s | i was a big fan of drawing on the sort |
| 3455s | of like |
| 3456s | greek mythology kind of capricious kind |
| 3459s | of god themes with lagon and hence why |
| 3462s | like his it |
| 3464s | it's kind of funny with lagaan's name |
| 3465s | it's actually supposed to be referenced |
| 3466s | to la don which is a a sea serpent in |
| 3469s | greek mythology and it's only after we |
| 3471s | got like super deep into it it kind of |
| 3472s | clicked like oh that's it also sounds |
| 3474s | like lagoon with one less oh |
| 3477s | it's supposed to be a reference to |
| 3478s | ladonna a greek mythology monster but |
| 3481s | it could also be read as |
| 3483s | lagoon was like |
| 3484s | and dagon dig on the uh |
| 3486s | and it's supposed to be like dagon and |
| 3488s | ladawn to different kind of mythological |
| 3490s | figures which also just happens to end |
| 3493s | up sounding like lagoon anyways but yeah |
| 3496s | like |
| 3497s | it's it really is a grab bag of |
| 3500s | i wouldn't say i wouldn't call out any |
| 3502s | one mythology as a specific |
| 3504s | inspiration but yeah like looking up |
| 3506s | like inspirations for like majasa and |
| 3509s | majelka and that whole region definitely |
| 3511s | dipped a lot into like |
| 3512s | hindu and you know india |
| 3515s | looking at uh you know raya's stuff |
| 3517s | looking you know that |
| 3519s | had its own like set of influences |
| 3521s | like |
| 3523s | it is a |
| 3525s | melting pot and a grab bag because so |
| 3527s | many of these mythologies have such |
| 3529s | great like just |
| 3531s | individual |
| 3532s | themes and stories and like |
| 3534s | influences you can pull from and just |
| 3537s | make something really resonates from it |
| 3540s | let's see here |
| 3541s | got another question from shadow dweller |
| 3544s | tv blur see the epoch actual appearance |
| 3548s | we are actually working improving some |
| 3550s | animations that will involve a |
| 3553s | actual like physical appearance by the |
| 3555s | epoch for some of the time travel events |
| 3558s | that is still in the works not sure |
| 3561s | i don't want to call out that being |
| 3563s | present in nine in point nine but it is |
| 3565s | in the world |
| 3567s | so we do |
| 3568s | have a model for it |
| 3571s | you know back on our side and we are |
| 3574s | working on getting it you know |
| 3576s | incorporated into more stuff |
| 3578s | also thank you everyone for giving us up |
| 3580s | to rymer who's super duper productive as |
| 3583s | one of the mods but |
| 3586s | i'm sure i appreciate it either way i |
| 3587s | hope that was intentional because i find |
| 3588s | it hilarious |
| 3591s | we love you |
| 3598s | we've got a first time chat from templar |
| 3601s | oath how deep is cr |
| 3603s | how deep does craig i i love the pews |
| 3606s | don't worry how deep does corruption get |
| 3608s | involved with a story will it be an |
| 3610s | epilogue where corruption wins |
| 3612s | so |
| 3613s | corruption is an interesting sort of |
| 3616s | term and theme here in regards to the |
| 3619s | story |
| 3620s | i would say that |
| 3622s | more than corruption a lot of |
| 3625s | the stories kind of beats and themes |
| 3627s | kind of deal with the idea of |
| 3631s | people and forces trying to |
| 3634s | improve and guide the world in their own |
| 3637s | way and that resulting in it |
| 3640s | actually hurting things and making |
| 3641s | things worse |
| 3642s | and the big question |
| 3644s | of |
| 3645s | should you try to |
| 3648s | improve things even though the risk is |
| 3650s | that you can just make it worse or |
| 3652s | should you try anyways in the hope that |
| 3654s | you do make things better and you kind |
| 3656s | of get that with |
| 3658s | mike how do i get to deep in the mortal |
| 3660s | emperor's backstory |
| 3662s | but |
| 3663s | you know spoilers but |
| 3665s | you know the immortal emperor started |
| 3667s | out |
| 3667s | wanting to improve the world for humans |
| 3670s | and |
| 3672s | free them from the you know tyranny of |
| 3674s | the gods and |
| 3676s | unite humanity in this sort of you know |
| 3678s | glorious unification where everything's |
| 3681s | gonna be better for everybody and as you |
| 3683s | can see in the pillar era that just |
| 3687s | ends up not being the case at all and |
| 3689s | you know |
| 3690s | very you know arguably but you know |
| 3693s | not too much of argument it ends up |
| 3694s | worse than the divine era was for the |
| 3697s | vast majority of people and the more |
| 3699s | emperor is kind of like the |
| 3701s | the main kind of obvious example of that |
| 3703s | sort of trying to make things better |
| 3706s | but ends up making it worse kind of |
| 3708s | situation |
| 3709s | like |
| 3710s | sega say that you know in riot's |
| 3712s | perspective |
| 3713s | raya saw |
| 3714s | his sort of domination of the world |
| 3716s | being from the motivation of hey these |
| 3720s | other gods are not running the world |
| 3722s | properly we're not living up to what it |
| 3724s | tara lined out for us of you know |
| 3726s | guiding the humans i should |
| 3729s | take over and do it all myself because |
| 3731s | these other gods aren't doing it good |
| 3733s | enough |
| 3734s | so even though raya is you know |
| 3737s | tyrannical and conquest minded his |
| 3739s | ultimate kind of intention and |
| 3741s | motivation is based on you know |
| 3743s | ultimately making the world |
| 3746s | better from his own view and |
| 3749s | there are other forces that might have a |
| 3751s | similar sort of |
| 3753s | perspective in their motivations so i |
| 3755s | would |
| 3756s | say |
| 3757s | corruption in the story |
| 3759s | a lot of times takes the form of the |
| 3761s | sort of |
| 3763s | misplaced i don't say misplaced |
| 3766s | motivation but more so this |
| 3768s | motivation of trying to make things |
| 3770s | better but making it worse and should |
| 3772s | you continue to try and make things |
| 3774s | better despite that risk |
| 3776s | and i might have gone completely off the |
| 3778s | track of the question but uh |
| 3780s | i will say at the end of the story |
| 3783s | i like happy endings but i also like |
| 3786s | endings where people |
| 3788s | where the story is kind of free from the |
| 3791s | forces that are taking away their |
| 3793s | choices and ability to make things |
| 3795s | better |
| 3797s | and i am not sure they even answer the |
| 3799s | corruption part of the question but |
| 3801s | that's my answer |
| 3803s | that's a great answer |
| 3804s | shout out while we're here um thank you |
| 3806s | very much just here for a 13 month resub |
| 3808s | that is awesome glad to have you with us |
| 3810s | um and then also |
| 3812s | uh we don't get many of these but uh |
| 3815s | much appreciate nonetheless it'll all |
| 3816s | still go to the same |
| 3818s | charity regardless of how comes in |
| 3820s | randomly max thank you very much for our |
| 3821s | ten dollar tip uh says thanks for |
| 3823s | answering questions |
| 3824s | ps okay fun |
| 3826s | mike primeless uh there's a bunch of uh |
| 3828s | emojis um mike mike ultra deluxe skin |
| 3832s | when and how much i think this is uh for |
| 3835s | a primeless skin to look like me |
| 3838s | and uh you you get like a 50 move |
| 3841s | penalty with it so i don't know i don't |
| 3842s | think you'd want one |
| 3847s | i'd wear it |
| 3850s | all right we got another question from |
| 3853s | quiet for me with orbus being the |
| 3855s | paragon or at least viewed as the |
| 3857s | paragraph of darkness with the size of |
| 3859s | the void is there multiple void |
| 3860s | dimensions or just a single void |
| 3862s | dimension in which he originates |
| 3865s | okay i'm gonna gonna unpack this one |
| 3868s | real quick |
| 3870s | i would say that |
| 3872s | the void has one source |
| 3874s | and that one source is oriboos |
| 3878s | so |
| 3879s | that might be the cleanest answer to |
| 3882s | that question |
| 3883s | there is |
| 3884s | like the void appears in multiple |
| 3886s | timelines |
| 3888s | but the void is intrinsically kind of |
| 3890s | connected to |
| 3891s | orbis |
| 3893s | so |
| 3894s | yeah i will not say that like there are |
| 3896s | other |
| 3897s | yeah i think that's probably the best |
| 3898s | answer for that question it is a bit of |
| 3900s | a |
| 3901s | yeah let like acknowledge multiple |
| 3902s | layers of logic in there |
| 3906s | we got a another question from a quiet |
| 3908s | for me given how there is a moth crystal |
| 3911s | in all the secret areas in the story so |
| 3912s | far |
| 3913s | will there will they play a part in the |
| 3916s | campaign story later if fundamental or |
| 3917s | is that just a hidden easter egg |
| 3920s | what secret areas i haven't found any of |
| 3922s | them |
| 3924s | [Laughter] |
| 3927s | i |
| 3928s | yeah i |
| 3930s | i don't know what you're talking about |
| 3931s | either |
| 3932s | yeah |
| 3933s | secret areas |
| 3935s | i would know about there's a cigarette |
| 3939s | anyways |
| 3942s | we got a uh another one from tiello |
| 3945s | games |
| 3947s | this is a very much a technical question |
| 3951s | question |
| 3953s | yeah question why hasn't game why |
| 3955s | haven't game developers considered |
| 3956s | implementing a system where the game |
| 3958s | assets are made of parts and assembled |
| 3960s | in game ega weapon is made of parts so |
| 3963s | we only have to make new parts to add |
| 3964s | new weapons can be extended to enemies |
| 3967s | too |
| 3968s | oh it's a uh a simplified version of |
| 3969s | that three-part question earlier |
| 3972s | yeah um so i i i guess the answer is |
| 3975s | that it has been considered um so i |
| 3978s | can't answer it because it's uh we have |
| 3980s | considered it really but i think the |
| 3982s | uh online question is why haven't you |
| 3984s | done this |
| 3985s | um |
| 3986s | and and the short answer really is that |
| 3988s | you you typically end up with a better |
| 3990s | quality product when it's |
| 3993s | um |
| 3995s | like created together and i understand |
| 3997s | that the like the big feature that you |
| 3998s | miss out on when you don't have |
| 3999s | something like that is |
| 4001s | um |
| 4002s | you can't make |
| 4003s | uh custom like uh enemies and weapons on |
| 4007s | the fly and there's a lot of really |
| 4009s | great examples of games doing this where |
| 4010s | you can laugh at them because they're |
| 4013s | they hit that that uncanny valley pretty |
| 4015s | quick um there was there was there was |
| 4018s | an rts |
| 4019s | from forever from like the 90s i think |
| 4022s | that you could like make your own |
| 4025s | like genetic |
| 4026s | uh monstrosities |
| 4028s | to like build your own like creatures |
| 4030s | you'd be like i want the legs of a |
| 4032s | cheetah and the head of a raptor and the |
| 4037s | uh |
| 4038s | tusks of a boar or something like that |
| 4040s | it would make you like you would make |
| 4041s | your units through this like weird |
| 4042s | genetic resequencing system |
| 4045s | um i to remember dark spore no it wasn't |
| 4049s | sport |
| 4050s | it wasn't sports it was it was a was it |
| 4053s | impossible creatures maybe yeah that |
| 4055s | sounds i know michael likes to link that |
| 4056s | a lot |
| 4059s | maybe that's what that was i can't it's |
| 4060s | i didn't i haven't seen him like that |
| 4062s | forever but it was anyways um |
| 4066s | it also takes up a lot more um |
| 4071s | things are a lot cleaner on our end with |
| 4073s | it being set enemies and some of them |
| 4075s | actually have been |
| 4077s | all of the worst enemies in the game are |
| 4079s | just that ours is us doing exactly what |
| 4081s | you're talking about and they're all |
| 4083s | slowly getting redone as proper monsters |
| 4086s | that look real and better |
| 4090s | we did that for a lot of things for a |
| 4091s | long time because it was cheap to do um |
| 4094s | you could do it really quick and easy |
| 4095s | and um the quality was not as good as |
| 4098s | the custom made fully fully |
| 4101s | built from scratch versions of those |
| 4102s | same things and so we've transitioned |
| 4104s | away from doing that ourselves |
| 4111s | good answer |
| 4114s | all right we got a another one from uh |
| 4116s | v conito |
| 4119s | yeah here is one very important at least |
| 4120s | for me i |
| 4122s | since i love cold builds are you going |
| 4124s | to do the same with freezing attack |
| 4126s | dying animations that you did with fire |
| 4127s | in the dev post freeze enemies |
| 4129s | shattering when they die etc |
| 4132s | yeah i don't know if uh physically |
| 4134s | splitting up into small pieces happens |
| 4136s | like like actually shattering into |
| 4138s | chunks um but there's different effects |
| 4140s | for each element |
| 4144s | including the kind of shocked one like |
| 4146s | where you can see a little kind of like |
| 4147s | crackles of electricity still going |
| 4149s | across the body a big fan of that one |
| 4151s | yeah there's also a question that was |
| 4153s | missed from the |
| 4154s | i didn't have a tag but i've never |
| 4155s | played last epoch before i prefer |
| 4157s | indirect damage builds in rpgs such as |
| 4160s | minions or totems or pets does epoch |
| 4162s | have those options absolutely |
| 4165s | tons of them |
| 4166s | all over the place i |
| 4168s | i like the shaman totem builds |
| 4170s | especially when you do upheaval to it |
| 4171s | i'm a big fan of storm totem and other |
| 4173s | people told him that's one of my |
| 4174s | favorite shaman builds yeah so the |
| 4176s | beastmaster or the prime list is one of |
| 4178s | the base classes and it has beastmaster |
| 4179s | and shaman |
| 4180s | which have a lot of animal companions |
| 4182s | and totems uh the acolyte has a master |
| 4185s | called the necromancer which is a ton of |
| 4187s | undead minion summons |
| 4189s | then there's sprinkles of minions |
| 4191s | elsewhere as well um |
| 4193s | the rogue that i'm on right now it does |
| 4194s | have a couple of those um for example |
| 4196s | with decoy and ballista |
| 4199s | and then you also get uh sentinel which |
| 4202s | has quite a few in forge guard actually |
| 4204s | there's manifest armor there's ring of |
| 4206s | shields uh there's |
| 4209s | manifest weapons |
| 4211s | there's |
| 4212s | possibly nothing else that i've run out |
| 4214s | of things in a list so etc |
| 4221s | all right we got another one from |
| 4223s | quicksilver |
| 4225s | will it be some kind of pet loot that |
| 4227s | will allow that would get us to first |
| 4230s | let pets pick up loot from the ground |
| 4231s | instead of to pick it up ourselves um |
| 4234s | unlikely at least initially it's |
| 4236s | possible that we might add something |
| 4237s | like that if we were to add something |
| 4239s | like that in a hypothetical situation it |
| 4242s | would likely only pick up gold at least |
| 4244s | initially for sure um |
| 4246s | and then |
| 4247s | if we were to add that as well it would |
| 4249s | be something that you would be able to |
| 4251s | unlock through gameplay |
| 4253s | and not be locked behind a paywall yes |
| 4255s | we would probably in that situation like |
| 4257s | that allow the pets that you already |
| 4259s | have like that you already can get pets |
| 4262s | like many pets um so like these mini |
| 4264s | pets would probably |
| 4266s | be those things that would pick those |
| 4267s | things up um |
| 4269s | and there would definitely be some |
| 4271s | if the mini pets ever served a |
| 4272s | mechanical purpose there would always be |
| 4274s | a way to get those mini pets so at least |
| 4276s | some mini pet with identical mechanical |
| 4278s | advantage without paying any money what |
| 4280s | i'm trying to say is we would never add |
| 4281s | a feature like that where the only way |
| 4283s | to access it is paying money |
| 4286s | it's the roundabout way i'm trying to |
| 4287s | get there but we don't have any plans |
| 4289s | for right now oh that quiver is probably |
| 4291s | really good |
| 4293s | not bad |
| 4295s | all right we got a question from |
| 4298s | i got a question from first time chat in |
| 4301s | fact from |
| 4302s | lzfx |
| 4304s | love the game oh i love you too can't |
| 4306s | wait for mp and eventual 1.0 any plans |
| 4308s | on adding more void synergies given the |
| 4311s | prevalence of the void in the world and |
| 4312s | lore i'm a little disappointed that only |
| 4314s | they've only seen void available to the |
| 4316s | player in one mastery or several |
| 4318s | somewhat niche unique oriented builds |
| 4321s | occurs from a thematic standpoint but |
| 4322s | also from a lore standpoint |
| 4324s | um this kind of you know gonna break |
| 4327s | like stands on the fence between like |
| 4329s | lore and mechanics |
| 4331s | like uh |
| 4332s | wha what do you how do you wanna answer |
| 4334s | that mike um i i guess |
| 4336s | the from from mechanic's perspective is |
| 4339s | like vague foreshadowing comments |
| 4343s | yeah it like might not be the only way |
| 4345s | it's good to have room to expand |
| 4347s | mechanical design space |
| 4350s | like uh |
| 4353s | if we ever add like we've talked in the |
| 4355s | past about the potential of adding like |
| 4358s | extra masteries in the future definitely |
| 4360s | a post 1.0 thing |
| 4362s | and one of the common kind of threads |
| 4364s | that we sometime like |
| 4366s | don't say a name |
| 4368s | i'm not going to say anything |
| 4372s | that name will just live forever yeah |
| 4374s | but yeah like we we have dabbled |
| 4376s | we have talked about having additional |
| 4378s | masters beyond the like planned one |
| 4381s | point on ones as like post 2.0 content |
| 4384s | and then like the future down the road |
| 4386s | and one of the common threads we hit on |
| 4388s | in those kind of talks is getting void |
| 4391s | availability to more classes so it's |
| 4394s | something we have definitely talked |
| 4395s | about |
| 4396s | you know we don't done so |
| 4398s | definitely something we've talked about |
| 4399s | not likely to be a 1.0 thing actually |
| 4401s | not even not likely it's not gonna be |
| 4403s | one point another thing i could see |
| 4405s | pretty confidently but yeah we have |
| 4406s | talked about it and |
| 4408s | down the road it has a non-zero chance |
| 4411s | for sure |
| 4414s | okay got another one from aloo cal |
| 4418s | as my favorite thematic there are are |
| 4420s | there any plans on remake or adds to |
| 4423s | this shaman skill tree or spells before |
| 4425s | 1.0 |
| 4427s | mike yes you may notice that there's a |
| 4429s | missing skill in the shaman tree still |
| 4432s | um |
| 4433s | there also we mentioned we announced we |
| 4435s | were also removing one of the abilities |
| 4437s | uh in the primeless bass class and then |
| 4439s | we didn't remove it um |
| 4443s | and so there's there's a little bit of |
| 4444s | room for new things to be added there |
| 4446s | shaman's definitely lacking one of the |
| 4447s | most commonly |
| 4449s | called out skills for low quality |
| 4452s | and we agree just to be clear is uh |
| 4454s | tempest strike which is one of the main |
| 4456s | uh primeless shaman skills sorry um |
| 4460s | and and so there's there's definitely |
| 4461s | room for improvement there there's room |
| 4463s | for additions there um |
| 4465s | there's if you look at the quantity of |
| 4467s | like if you look at um |
| 4470s | beastmaster as the companion |
| 4473s | mastery |
| 4474s | and druids as the transform mastery and |
| 4476s | shamans as the totem mastery |
| 4479s | there's a lot more |
| 4481s | companions and |
| 4483s | uh well shape shifters is about the same |
| 4484s | amount but those are much more |
| 4486s | in-depth abilities on their own um |
| 4489s | there's many many more companions and |
| 4490s | there are totems still uh for like |
| 4493s | top-level skills so that's |
| 4495s | uh |
| 4498s | a good assumption that there's probably |
| 4499s | gonna be room to grow there |
| 4505s | yeah i'm a big fan of shaman like uh way |
| 4509s | back way back in the day when i played |
| 4510s | world of warcraft my main was an |
| 4512s | enhancement shaman so i am definitely |
| 4514s | familiar with the cool thematic stuff of |
| 4517s | shamans and totems and all that so yeah |
| 4520s | i'm definitely excited to see some new |
| 4522s | stuff with the shaman and it's |
| 4523s | definitely something we're excited for |
| 4526s | got another question from quiet for me |
| 4529s | two in one lore question why can't |
| 4532s | spring form have a void conversion like |
| 4534s | the cold one considering there are void |
| 4535s | spriggans in the game also why no |
| 4537s | reptile form yet we got bears tree and |
| 4540s | insects but reptiles are missing for |
| 4542s | druid reptiles are important to nature |
| 4543s | too i agree reptiles are very important |
| 4546s | well it is less of a can't and more of |
| 4550s | there's only so much room in the class |
| 4553s | design for these kind of different |
| 4555s | thematic elements and it kind of comes |
| 4558s | down to |
| 4559s | picking ones that fill |
| 4562s | one more synergistic |
| 4563s | and more build enabling for the class |
| 4567s | versus others |
| 4568s | like |
| 4570s | there's nothing |
| 4571s | explicitly |
| 4573s | like in the lore that keeps |
| 4576s | this brigand form from having a void |
| 4578s | conversion it's more so the fact that |
| 4581s | as it is now class design wise the |
| 4584s | if you got like a void conversion on the |
| 4586s | spriggan form for the druid there would |
| 4588s | be like no other void stuff on the class |
| 4591s | to support that so to kind of make that |
| 4594s | go like |
| 4595s | not just a dead end on that tree oh my |
| 4599s | god mike you died but to make sure that |
| 4601s | it's not you know just a dead end |
| 4604s | of build crafting on that skill we'd |
| 4606s | have to throw in a lot more void support |
| 4609s | throughout the rest of druid and |
| 4611s | primeless |
| 4612s | so that's like |
| 4613s | a criminal for wrong mike that's pretty |
| 4615s | much the situation there like like |
| 4617s | it's not impossible or wise it just |
| 4620s | there's only so much room on that tree |
| 4622s | and we'd have to get void support |
| 4623s | through the rest of druid and problems |
| 4625s | to support that sort of conversion yeah |
| 4628s | that's pretty much it |
| 4630s | and for the second half of the question |
| 4631s | about reptile form that kind of comes |
| 4633s | down to a similar situation but more so |
| 4636s | on just thematics |
| 4638s | like |
| 4639s | there's nothing explicitly keeping |
| 4642s | reptiles from being a vowed like |
| 4644s | option |
| 4646s | lore wise for a jury to transform it's |
| 4648s | more so that in the class thematics |
| 4651s | we've got mammals via you know the |
| 4653s | wolves the sabretooths the bears and |
| 4655s | were bear |
| 4656s | and we have like entangling roots and |
| 4659s | other kind of plantings the stuff and we |
| 4661s | have summon scorpion and |
| 4663s | like because you know bees in some |
| 4665s | places of course we don't really have |
| 4667s | mud |
| 4668s | really |
| 4669s | bees they were classified as fish in |
| 4671s | california |
| 4674s | about to give me some crunchy fish fish |
| 4681s | anyways |
| 4682s | um |
| 4684s | there is just |
| 4686s | when it came down to |
| 4687s | that like last form for the druid you |
| 4691s | know past where bear and spriggan |
| 4695s | thematically an insect-based form just |
| 4698s | kind of had a stronger kind of through |
| 4700s | line of other things in the class than a |
| 4703s | reptile-based form |
| 4704s | and combine that with the fact that like |
| 4706s | a reptile and or i mean an insect based |
| 4709s | ship should form this is nothing i think |
| 4711s | we've really seen that often in other |
| 4713s | games in the genre so it was kind of |
| 4716s | one it fit some of the other kind of |
| 4718s | insect summoning themes we had in the |
| 4720s | druid and primalist and two it's kind of |
| 4723s | something we haven't seen in general i |
| 4725s | i would love to see like an mtx like |
| 4728s | cosmetic like skin for the swarm blade |
| 4731s | to turn it into like |
| 4732s | a raptor thresher lizard thing |
| 4736s | but that's just you know hopes and |
| 4737s | dreams |
| 4738s | yeah and so and also there's it's um |
| 4742s | when we're talking about adding content |
| 4744s | in the future one of those places we can |
| 4745s | add content |
| 4747s | is like is is his new skills for |
| 4749s | existing classes like that's that's |
| 4750s | totally doable |
| 4753s | one day we'll get our tricera form |
| 4755s | one day |
| 4759s | okay |
| 4760s | there's lots of room here right yeah |
| 4763s | yeah get it |
| 4766s | okay let's see here let's scroll down |
| 4768s | and find the next juicy question |
| 4771s | from |
| 4772s | nerdyjoe314 do you worry about laura |
| 4774s | scope creep |
| 4777s | not quite sure what you mean by lore |
| 4780s | scope creep to be |
| 4782s | honest um |
| 4784s | is the story becoming too convoluted i |
| 4785s | think |
| 4787s | gotcha yeah i i definitely ignore i |
| 4790s | definitely see that concern it's |
| 4794s | like i could definitely see |
| 4795s | like a world slash an alternate like |
| 4798s | sequence of events where |
| 4800s | when we had started you know making the |
| 4802s | story for the game we had gone with |
| 4805s | something a little more like |
| 4808s | a little |
| 4809s | smaller in scope like i i i could see a |
| 4812s | version of |
| 4814s | events where |
| 4816s | the game pretty much was like |
| 4818s | just about the imperial era or just |
| 4821s | about the divine era but |
| 4824s | when it comes down to it when we first |
| 4826s | started the project it was |
| 4828s | like |
| 4829s | a handful of us doing this like in our |
| 4832s | free time like you know just bunch of |
| 4835s | crazy people making a game studio out of |
| 4838s | out of nowhere and |
| 4840s | the mentality we kind of had with that |
| 4842s | is |
| 4842s | we're going to shoot our shot |
| 4845s | like do we wanna this might be our only |
| 4848s | chance to make a video game |
| 4850s | do we wanna |
| 4851s | go |
| 4852s | you know hit for the bleachers and go |
| 4854s | for the crazy time traveling |
| 4857s | you know like |
| 4858s | fade you know gods you know |
| 4861s | void |
| 4862s | infinity monster stuff |
| 4865s | yeah let's let's go let's go let's go |
| 4867s | for it like this is our only chance to |
| 4869s | do it kind of mentality go home |
| 4872s | exactly like so i do worry about scope |
| 4874s | group sometimes and sometimes you know i |
| 4876s | i do think wait man what if we had just |
| 4878s | made the story |
| 4879s | just about the divine era with no time |
| 4881s | travel and you're fighting right or just |
| 4883s | in the pill era don't try trouble you're |
| 4886s | just fighting the moral emperor and we |
| 4889s | didn't we went for the largest scope one |
| 4891s | because |
| 4892s | we like time travel and |
| 4894s | we want to just |
| 4896s | exactly go bigger go home |
| 4898s | i uh so i died a little while ago so i |
| 4900s | owe people a spoiler huh which is an |
| 4903s | unwritten rule that i kind of just i do |
| 4905s | if i have spoilers ready to go and i |
| 4907s | have one so uh here's a little tease |
| 4910s | uh another armor set for primos this |
| 4912s | time |
| 4913s | coming up this is a fairly early game |
| 4916s | primeless armor set but i think it looks |
| 4917s | really cool |
| 4919s | there's a little turnabout for it now |
| 4920s | it's a little interesting usually we've |
| 4922s | been seeing a lot of |
| 4923s | um |
| 4924s | sentinel ones where it covers the whole |
| 4926s | bodies there's gaps in this one because |
| 4928s | you get that that model underneath a lot |
| 4930s | but yeah that's this is a new |
| 4932s | um |
| 4934s | fairly early game primeless |
| 4936s | armor set |
| 4938s | it's pretty sweet one more turn around |
| 4949s | and |
| 4950s | and since this is a special stream i'm |
| 4952s | going to give a spoiler as well you know |
| 4955s | just get get me involved in it |
| 4957s | like so |
| 4959s | bonus special stream spoiler |
| 4961s | grail |
| 4963s | is a terrible flute player julia makes |
| 4966s | fun of him all the time and tells him to |
| 4968s | not play |
| 4970s | his stupid flute whenever he tries to |
| 4973s | bonus spoiler |
| 4976s | write it down put it into the theories |
| 4978s | it's it's all there |
| 4983s | that's a subtle reference |
| 4987s | if it is i might have done next year |
| 4989s | because i'm not sure what |
| 4990s | what i was saying they're really |
| 4991s | referencing |
| 4994s | oh dmv one of the reference was because |
| 4996s | i i didn't intend to make it i guess |
| 5000s | thank you very much everyone has gifted |
| 5002s | five subs to the channel congrats if you |
| 5003s | got one of those |
| 5007s | uh glad to have everyone with us and uh |
| 5011s | yeah i'm having a great stream so far uh |
| 5014s | we were actually just cruising through i |
| 5015s | just looked down at the time to see what |
| 5016s | it was when i was putting up the spoiler |
| 5018s | there my goodness i thought we were |
| 5019s | nowhere near this far through it so we |
| 5021s | don't have a ton of time um and i don't |
| 5024s | know if we're super far behind the |
| 5025s | questions or not um if we haven't got |
| 5028s | closer to the |
| 5030s | closer to the bottom than i thought at |
| 5031s | least so i think yeah if we're going i i |
| 5034s | always forget do we go to five or four |
| 5036s | thirty five |
| 5038s | five oh yeah we got time for these i'm |
| 5039s | sure yeah okay so |
| 5041s | next combination |
| 5043s | yeah |
| 5044s | next question from mastersword1291 |
| 5047s | are there any plans to insert a |
| 5049s | cinematic video during specialization |
| 5050s | choice which shows off unique aspects of |
| 5053s | the player chosen spec background and |
| 5054s | lore |
| 5056s | so |
| 5057s | i would say that just a straight up |
| 5060s | video |
| 5061s | i would not expect that but there are |
| 5065s | plans to revamp the whole mastery |
| 5068s | selection process to get more background |
| 5071s | and more and more just kind of you know |
| 5074s | presentation involved there |
| 5076s | so i wouldn't say like an overt video i |
| 5078s | thought i thought we could have like the |
| 5081s | mechanics kind of oriented video of |
| 5083s | showing off masteries better placed |
| 5086s | somewhere else |
| 5087s | but we do |
| 5089s | want to revamp that mastery selection |
| 5091s | process to get more of the background |
| 5093s | and lore involved there |
| 5094s | big |
| 5095s | big to to be |
| 5097s | determined no no no |
| 5099s | don't have any hard you know like dates |
| 5102s | or timelines on that |
| 5104s | but that is definitely |
| 5106s | been talked about and has some you know |
| 5109s | sketched out |
| 5110s | early plans for that kind of thing so we |
| 5112s | it is something we want to revamp for |
| 5115s | sure but if i was like a very mechanics |
| 5116s | focused version of that that is about |
| 5118s | showing off the mechanics side of the |
| 5120s | positions i could see a better place for |
| 5122s | that than the |
| 5123s | well |
| 5124s | we'll have to love to you know hit that |
| 5125s | bridge more once we're on the bridge |
| 5128s | and |
| 5130s | it's a hype train rolling in thank you |
| 5132s | very much uh ralph later |
| 5134s | for your twitch prime sub glad to have |
| 5137s | you with us |
| 5140s | this is for heavy |
| 5144s | all right |
| 5146s | we got a first time chat from legacy 8k |
| 5150s | when you do balance changes and |
| 5152s | particular item balances are you looking |
| 5153s | to make items legacy to remain in game |
| 5155s | or change all instances of items |
| 5157s | existing |
| 5158s | i'll throw that to mike the way the item |
| 5161s | i just thought my pet was an enemy and |
| 5162s | tried to shoot it uh the way that the |
| 5164s | item system works um is that it does |
| 5169s | it |
| 5170s | it's hybrid a hybrid answer i guess the |
| 5171s | right answer so for |
| 5173s | things like unique items for example um |
| 5176s | the unique items the way they're set up |
| 5178s | they just have like a number that says i |
| 5180s | am unique item seven |
| 5181s | and then uh here's and here are my like |
| 5184s | rolls on the seven staff that unique |
| 5186s | item seven has or whatever it is um |
| 5189s | and |
| 5191s | uh so when you when you when we change |
| 5193s | what item seven is all item sevens that |
| 5196s | are in the world change with it um so |
| 5198s | you won't see legacy unique items like |
| 5200s | you would in uh for example path of |
| 5202s | exile but um |
| 5205s | with there are some legacy |
| 5207s | uh item affixes for rare magic items |
| 5211s | that an exalted items i guess that uh |
| 5213s | that can show up um and they'll show up |
| 5215s | as basically extra sealed affixes |
| 5218s | um so some people who've been around for |
| 5220s | a long time may have weird items sitting |
| 5222s | in their stash with affixes on them that |
| 5223s | you can't get anymore um |
| 5225s | and they're |
| 5227s | so we do have a system to create legacy |
| 5229s | magic rare and exalted items but |
| 5232s | set and unique items will not do that |
| 5238s | all righty |
| 5239s | we got another one from ira weird i may |
| 5242s | have missed it over the uh boss fun talk |
| 5245s | totally not because of stream blind but |
| 5246s | why exactly does ryan beat here not so |
| 5248s | easily if they are brothers in arms |
| 5250s | there is a bit of a power difference |
| 5252s | between raja and hirot |
| 5254s | partly to just how they have used and |
| 5257s | doled out their powers over the you know |
| 5260s | thousands of years of the divine era |
| 5263s | herod you know had you know mortis which |
| 5265s | kind of you know took some divine power |
| 5267s | from him in his creation whereas raya |
| 5270s | has no like direct progeny like that |
| 5272s | that he's gonna have doled his power out |
| 5275s | to |
| 5276s | and in company in combination with that |
| 5278s | raya has a much more just aggressive |
| 5281s | goal and motivation he's been building |
| 5283s | up his |
| 5285s | forces and his own power for the intent |
| 5287s | of striking against the other dog other |
| 5290s | other gods for a while whereas herod has |
| 5293s | more of a peaceful nature want to just |
| 5295s | protect his own part of the world |
| 5297s | protect his own people |
| 5299s | also red dead and |
| 5301s | red that too that too |
| 5304s | that i mean like honestly like that that |
| 5306s | is you know i know that's you know |
| 5307s | supposed to be like kind of kind of a |
| 5308s | joke answer but that's kind of part of |
| 5310s | it as well honestly they're |
| 5312s | in that exact moment of you know here |
| 5314s | fighting riot like herod's focused on |
| 5316s | defense |
| 5318s | partly because he knows that you know |
| 5320s | you know his forces are nearby and he |
| 5322s | doesn't want them to get hurt and you're |
| 5324s | there and he doesn't want you to get |
| 5325s | hurt where's raya has |
| 5327s | no qualms about collateral damage and |
| 5330s | just |
| 5331s | taps all his mana and |
| 5333s | fire axes him to the face and gets |
| 5337s | lethal |
| 5338s | so there is |
| 5341s | it's that kind of thing where |
| 5343s | multiple factors but the sheer |
| 5345s | aggression and intent to kill |
| 5348s | with ryan played a big factor in it |
| 5351s | while hero would have been very willing |
| 5353s | to |
| 5354s | leave that fight with both parties alive |
| 5357s | as long as |
| 5359s | you know his |
| 5361s | people he's in charge of and protecting |
| 5363s | made it out as well |
| 5364s | raya was there to kill |
| 5366s | that's kind of a big part of it |
| 5369s | shout out to the magic card you're |
| 5371s | referencing lava axe with the best lore |
| 5373s | text ever written on a magikarp well |
| 5375s | second best |
| 5376s | i knew i got the name wrong it was |
| 5378s | something axe yeah it just says catch on |
| 5381s | seventh edition lava hocks it just says |
| 5382s | catch |
| 5387s | most of what i've ever had losing a |
| 5388s | draft my friend just threw the card at |
| 5390s | me and said catch |
| 5393s | so this is super off topic but my |
| 5396s | favorite loss like i saw i've ever seen |
| 5399s | in magic was it was with my cousin at a |
| 5403s | magic gathering like a friday |
| 5405s | i've got what was it called yeah yeah |
| 5408s | friday night magic and |
| 5410s | there was a spell in that set of |
| 5413s | standard where it reflects the damage |
| 5415s | back to the person who's doing damage |
| 5418s | but doubled |
| 5419s | and they both had multiple copies of |
| 5421s | that card where they just threw the |
| 5423s | damage back and forth until one person |
| 5425s | got hit for like 60. it was great nice |
| 5428s | that's awesome |
| 5430s | oh yeah |
| 5432s | all right |
| 5433s | another question from riz blood lord |
| 5437s | what is the void's motivation |
| 5440s | the void's motivation is to |
| 5443s | erase existence |
| 5445s | as far as the like history of help like |
| 5450s | the voids you know doing that remember |
| 5452s | yeah when it comes down to it the void's |
| 5453s | motivation is to |
| 5455s | erase a timeline in totality by turning |
| 5460s | all of that timeline into more void |
| 5463s | essentially |
| 5465s | what you see in like almost all of the |
| 5469s | void infested void corrupted parts of |
| 5471s | the game is technically a transitory |
| 5475s | like state where the void is spreading |
| 5478s | turning things into void |
| 5480s | creating monsters that also intend to |
| 5482s | create more things into void the |
| 5484s | ultimate goal |
| 5485s | the ultimate like motivation of void in |
| 5488s | these places where it has influence |
| 5490s | is to keep on spreading floyd until |
| 5494s | all is void and becomes a sort of |
| 5497s | homogeneous kind of darkness |
| 5499s | so a lot of the horrors and |
| 5502s | like terrible monstrosities you see in |
| 5505s | the void that is |
| 5507s | those are vehicles to spread void |
| 5510s | further |
| 5511s | until the point where everything is this |
| 5513s | just |
| 5514s | featureless darkness |
| 5516s | so |
| 5517s | yeah bad stuff |
| 5519s | i'm going to drink some water real quick |
| 5520s | because now my throat's getting a little |
| 5522s | dry yeah drink water everybody |
| 5525s | and after this you should all take a |
| 5527s | take a break and go outside for a minute |
| 5529s | look at this look look at the sky |
| 5531s | i was in the sun |
| 5534s | i don't know first thing i'm doing here |
| 5535s | is i'm gonna go touch some grass |
| 5537s | delicious delicious be infested grass |
| 5540s | gonna make a great fish deck |
| 5543s | all right |
| 5544s | another question from |
| 5546s | not joe 55 a first time chat in fact |
| 5550s | is it a long time until full release and |
| 5553s | it's a lot to do if i start playing it |
| 5555s | now |
| 5556s | we don't have a |
| 5557s | hard time to save full release |
| 5561s | and mike just remember if i say anything |
| 5563s | that you know i shouldn't be saying on |
| 5564s | that front but as far as like it's a lot |
| 5567s | to do to start playing you can get on |
| 5568s | steam and play right now there's pl |
| 5570s | there are hundreds of hours of content |
| 5573s | to have with less peacock last |
| 5576s | epoch at this moment i am getting tongue |
| 5578s | tied wow yeah there's there's a ton of |
| 5581s | content right now um |
| 5583s | there's there's different content for |
| 5584s | different types of players if you're a |
| 5585s | big fan of like trying out different |
| 5587s | builds and experimenting with things |
| 5589s | and mucking about to see how things work |
| 5591s | together and and all that sort of stuff |
| 5593s | there's an absurd amount of stuff to do |
| 5595s | right now um |
| 5597s | if you're more of a play through the |
| 5598s | campaign story type player there's |
| 5600s | there's definitely lots um |
| 5603s | there's a lot more of that getting added |
| 5604s | um and improved soon |
| 5608s | um |
| 5609s | yeah |
| 5611s | constantly evolving the the online is |
| 5613s | not there yet there's no multiplayer yet |
| 5615s | it's uh that's an internal testing only |
| 5617s | so far |
| 5619s | soon tia |
| 5622s | all right we have another question from |
| 5624s | quicksilver |
| 5625s | thank you a lot for the pet loot answer |
| 5628s | you're welcome quicksilver we love you |
| 5632s | another question from |
| 5634s | iowa weird can you give us a tiny tidbit |
| 5637s | of lore about the about the missing |
| 5639s | masteries beyond their mastery choice |
| 5641s | text is there anything you can tell us |
| 5643s | lore wise about the missing masteries |
| 5644s | and how they approach the world |
| 5646s | i'll try and uh answer the question with |
| 5649s | you know minimal spoilers of course |
| 5651s | essentially i'll start with the rune |
| 5654s | master |
| 5656s | the rune master is essentially the sort |
| 5658s | of |
| 5659s | other |
| 5660s | kind of |
| 5661s | path of |
| 5663s | arcane magic compared to like sorcery |
| 5666s | sorcery when the sorcerers are all about |
| 5670s | opening that spigot of power shaping |
| 5673s | into a giant |
| 5674s | meteor and dropping on people's heads |
| 5676s | it's very |
| 5678s | about |
| 5679s | letting go of those restraints and |
| 5681s | alleging power and directing it in the |
| 5683s | proper way whereas remasters are much |
| 5684s | more about taping that magic and |
| 5686s | controlling it |
| 5688s | it could be said that like the |
| 5690s | elder mages in wellrin and other places |
| 5693s | with these kind of more structured |
| 5695s | hierarchical systems of |
| 5697s | mages would tend to be |
| 5700s | rude masters more often than they would |
| 5701s | tend to be sorcerers |
| 5704s | and hitting on the warlock the warlock |
| 5707s | is another sort of kind of division on |
| 5711s | like philosophies on that kind of art |
| 5714s | like with the necromancer necromancer is |
| 5717s | about manipulating like physical |
| 5721s | you know death in the shape of you know |
| 5724s | commanding these minions the lich is |
| 5726s | about commanding yourself by you know |
| 5729s | being able to become like you know the |
| 5731s | reaper form and other sort of like |
| 5734s | you know affecting yourself kind of |
| 5736s | mentality whereas the warlock is about |
| 5738s | manipulating the soul and wielding |
| 5740s | curses |
| 5741s | so we got |
| 5743s | lich as manipulating the self necromizer |
| 5745s | is manipulating the physicality of |
| 5747s | others and the warlock is manipulating |
| 5749s | the souls of others |
| 5751s | and then you get to the falconer the |
| 5754s | falconer has a falcon and they use that |
| 5757s | falcon and oh no |
| 5759s | yeah mike i just died i was even looking |
| 5762s | at this other pilot my chronic |
| 5764s | resistance is really low i pointed it |
| 5765s | out to myself i'm like oh this is gonna |
| 5768s | be bad should i do something about it |
| 5769s | now i'll be fine |
| 5771s | i was not fine i'm going to try and do |
| 5772s | something about any necrotic reds i'm |
| 5774s | going to pull some of these out because |
| 5775s | it'll be cold in there |
| 5778s | uh before |
| 5779s | just a fish by a point on the uh |
| 5781s | falconer yeah the falconer is |
| 5783s | again it comes down to these sort of |
| 5786s | different styles |
| 5788s | you have the blade master or blade |
| 5789s | dancer which is you know very in your |
| 5792s | face about you know |
| 5793s | flowing with battle and only being you |
| 5796s | know hit when you want to be hit and |
| 5798s | kind of controlling |
| 5800s | you know the battle that way the |
| 5801s | marksman is about you know |
| 5804s | being you know in the back |
| 5805s | doing these cool bow shots where the |
| 5807s | falconer is sort of you know it's about |
| 5810s | having this falcon as your companion in |
| 5813s | battle and using it to kind of lure your |
| 5815s | victims into traps and trick them up and |
| 5818s | it's more of a more of a tricky sort of |
| 5821s | take on the rogue which is already |
| 5822s | pretty tricky class |
| 5827s | and uh |
| 5830s | okay let me |
| 5831s | look for another question |
| 5837s | okay |
| 5839s | we got one from keller heart one two |
| 5841s | three four five |
| 5843s | are there any plans for new endgame |
| 5845s | content before 1.0 release i know the |
| 5847s | old world map stated this but just |
| 5848s | wanted to know if this is something |
| 5850s | being designed or implemented now thank |
| 5852s | you guys and thank you for the streams |
| 5854s | uh mike want to tackle that one |
| 5856s | um yeah there's there's always more |
| 5857s | stuff that's coming out um there we |
| 5860s | don't have any plans for a |
| 5862s | um i would say like a major set like |
| 5865s | content set piece |
| 5867s | uh if that makes any sense before |
| 5869s | before 1.00 when i say that i mean like |
| 5871s | um |
| 5872s | we're not going to implement alternate |
| 5874s | monolith 2 |
| 5875s | uh |
| 5876s | like if that makes any sense there's not |
| 5878s | going to be a |
| 5879s | um a second |
| 5882s | uh or third major |
| 5884s | mechanical environment to us to build |
| 5886s | things in pre 1.0 um so we're going to |
| 5890s | continue to expand the monolith in the |
| 5891s | dungeons and other systems that work in |
| 5894s | between those things and work in other |
| 5896s | places |
| 5897s | or in the arena sorry so the arena the |
| 5899s | dungeons and the monolith will be the |
| 5901s | three primary |
| 5902s | places you go |
| 5904s | for end game content |
| 5906s | at 1.0 um but there will be other |
| 5909s | mechanical systems that work there |
| 5913s | i hope that makes sense |
| 5915s | [Laughter] |
| 5916s | makes sense to me |
| 5920s | next question |
| 5921s | from |
| 5922s | jazeer |
| 5924s | why does the summons brigand not use the |
| 5926s | entangled roots overgrown garden node |
| 5928s | when it uses the creeping roots node |
| 5931s | no i rightly do not know mike no idea |
| 5933s | sorry |
| 5936s | we will look into it we will solve this |
| 5939s | mystery uh |
| 5940s | you can uh if you if you really want to |
| 5942s | look to post on the forums or discord um |
| 5945s | that's not something i can really look |
| 5946s | into right now sorry |
| 5948s | don't let us forget make sure to make |
| 5950s | that post so it doesn't get lost |
| 5954s | all right we got another one from io |
| 5956s | weird |
| 5957s | are you saying there's an r in there |
| 5961s | oh god they're right |
| 5962s | oh god there is an r in there |
| 5965s | i struggled that one so much too |
| 5967s | like no there's definitely an r in there |
| 5971s | yeah |
| 5972s | yeah that's what happens |
| 5974s | arrow weird |
| 5976s | all right |
| 5977s | are you saying tempter strike is a |
| 5978s | slight copy of storm strike if so can |
| 5981s | its rework be more lightning focused |
| 5983s | sharma currently seems very physical |
| 5985s | cold focused and has some trouble with |
| 5986s | controlling lightning |
| 5989s | we've got |
| 5990s | plans for changes to tempest |
| 5993s | strike uh yeah |
| 5996s | vague foreshadowing |
| 5998s | it's it's um |
| 6000s | i agree that there's that it shines more |
| 6002s | in the cold physical than the lightning |
| 6004s | right now |
| 6006s | and we do want to make it more similar |
| 6007s | across the board of the three or being |
| 6009s | able to focus it on |
| 6011s | more narrowly if you really want to as |
| 6013s | well |
| 6015s | as a big fan of storm strike from the |
| 6018s | old days and just the crash |
| 6021s | sound it does i'm excited |
| 6023s | yeah it's |
| 6024s | uh |
| 6026s | yeah |
| 6027s | i don't know what i can say |
| 6029s | sam sam showed us some pretty sweet uh |
| 6032s | um out of the blue just experiment he |
| 6034s | had and everyone's just like well i |
| 6036s | guess we're changing the tempest |
| 6037s | straight to that now |
| 6040s | so we'll see what happens with it |
| 6044s | all right |
| 6046s | looking for some more questions |
| 6051s | we got a first time chat from spoiler |
| 6053s | alert |
| 6055s | can you explain the flavor text for |
| 6056s | ravenous void if the brothers were lost |
| 6058s | in the ravenous void why did they take |
| 6060s | its name rather than saying they were |
| 6062s | lost in the void and then they became |
| 6065s | the reverse void after being found |
| 6070s | glad you're here |
| 6071s | [Music] |
| 6075s | trying to try to think back about that |
| 6076s | item and kind of father went behind its |
| 6080s | inspiration |
| 6082s | that was that was a supporter unique |
| 6084s | yes yes yes yes |
| 6089s | yeah |
| 6090s | i'll get back to you on that one i'm |
| 6091s | going to look up the text itself real |
| 6094s | quick just to remind me the exact |
| 6095s | wording of it |
| 6098s | one moment |
| 6101s | well i'll be dreamed nice |
| 6105s | okay here we go |
| 6115s | ah so |
| 6119s | so i would say |
| 6121s | the name itself is less something that |
| 6124s | they gave themselves and more what |
| 6127s | people describe the gloves as |
| 6130s | so the exact like text of ravitus void |
| 6134s | is a pair of mimic brothers lost in the |
| 6136s | ravenous void hungry for anyone who dips |
| 6138s | their hands inside |
| 6140s | the name of the gloves void that's not |
| 6142s | what they call themselves that's more so |
| 6144s | what someone would call it from kind of |
| 6147s | like you know the outside perspective |
| 6150s | as these mimik brothers are |
| 6153s | more kind of |
| 6155s | like hungering and care less about like |
| 6158s | naming things so i would say the name is |
| 6160s | more descriptive than |
| 6162s | self-titled |
| 6165s | and |
| 6166s | fun fact part of the inspiration of that |
| 6168s | theming comes from you know kind of |
| 6169s | playing with it like you know how |
| 6171s | how can we get like a mimic |
| 6173s | into the game in a way that like feels |
| 6175s | good and makes sense and |
| 6177s | like we kind of went |
| 6179s | you know |
| 6181s | beating around the bush a whole bunch |
| 6183s | playing with that idea and that kind of |
| 6184s | became the inspiration for some of this |
| 6187s | theme i believe it's also supporting |
| 6189s | unique as well so i i never remember us |
| 6191s | like iterating on this quite a bit back |
| 6193s | when i was first introduced |
| 6197s | let's see here let me scroll down and |
| 6200s | find our next one |
| 6203s | from quiet for me most important lore |
| 6206s | question oh i'm excited why majelka does |
| 6209s | the vendor offer fruit but no other |
| 6211s | vendors offer it what is special about |
| 6213s | his fruit |
| 6215s | what's special about its fruit is the |
| 6216s | fact that it looks so |
| 6220s | like shriveled and unhealthy and |
| 6222s | what do you want to use this moment to |
| 6224s | kind of call out |
| 6226s | that hey in the imperial era |
| 6228s | normal produce is suffering and things |
| 6231s | are kind of on |
| 6232s | a bad kind of like |
| 6235s | kind of on a bad route as far as like |
| 6237s | sustainability even |
| 6239s | in something as simple as like fruit |
| 6241s | from a vendor |
| 6242s | and it's |
| 6244s | approaching |
| 6246s | kind of a |
| 6248s | like |
| 6249s | implied |
| 6250s | kind of sustenance that you could buy |
| 6252s | from any other kind of like little |
| 6254s | shopkeeping place like we don't call it |
| 6256s | out they're able to buy food and water |
| 6258s | at a place or you know as |
| 6261s | i go into the bathroom in a movie you |
| 6263s | don't see a character you know take a |
| 6265s | bathroom because that's not important to |
| 6266s | the plot and that's kind of that's kind |
| 6268s | of why |
| 6269s | the fruit vendor in imperial magelka |
| 6271s | has this kind of fruit option whereas |
| 6274s | other places don't is because it's |
| 6276s | trying to call attention to |
| 6278s | the idea that like |
| 6280s | like the produce in this time |
| 6283s | is |
| 6284s | less nutritious and less healthy than in |
| 6286s | a more like healthy error like the |
| 6288s | divine era kind of shine light on the |
| 6290s | state of the imperial era |
| 6292s | so like now that you know i think about |
| 6294s | that that does kind of |
| 6296s | i do want to add more instances like |
| 6298s | that where like a vendor has like an |
| 6299s | alternate dialogue that kind of is there |
| 6301s | for flavor that kind of gives you more |
| 6303s | of a look of the situation kind of like |
| 6306s | that but something similar in |
| 6308s | sort of car in chapter 9 where i believe |
| 6311s | the vendor there as well has some texts |
| 6312s | that kind of talked a little bit about |
| 6314s | their relationship with the sapphire |
| 6315s | nagasa in the town so |
| 6318s | yeah |
| 6320s | probably longer of an answer than i |
| 6322s | needed to give on the fruit but |
| 6324s | i like answering it |
| 6327s | the important stuff man fruit |
| 6329s | delicious man i i had fresh pineapple |
| 6332s | for the first time in like years like |
| 6334s | the other day so good so good |
| 6339s | tasty stuff |
| 6341s | all right |
| 6342s | saturnaris |
| 6344s | just want to say i love the answer |
| 6346s | reference and act nine i do as well it's |
| 6349s | a fun one |
| 6350s | ah good job mike you got him |
| 6353s | nailed it i can finally fix my |
| 6355s | resistances that are just awful |
| 6359s | which one are you gonna pick all right |
| 6362s | nice |
| 6363s | is it still hurting yes that still hurts |
| 6366s | i thought we had it set to where that |
| 6367s | like turns off after he dies uh |
| 6369s | apparently we didn't that might be a |
| 6371s | current patch like uh internal |
| 6373s | gotcha yeah yeah i thought we i thought |
| 6375s | we fixed that oh huh strange |
| 6378s | any who |
| 6380s | down to moradrim |
| 6382s | what are the plans to improve and expand |
| 6384s | monoliths killing enemies feels |
| 6386s | extremely unrewarding because of the |
| 6387s | objective based system |
| 6389s | uh mike how's that to you um yes so |
| 6392s | there is |
| 6394s | there's a few like |
| 6395s | we got that feedback quite a bit um a |
| 6398s | long time ago we added the scaling |
| 6401s | chests that scale with more rewards |
| 6403s | based on the things you kill still got |
| 6405s | that feedback we added the increased |
| 6407s | stability gain um from killing enemies |
| 6411s | we're still getting that feedback um |
| 6413s | we're |
| 6415s | i i think the way we've been going about |
| 6417s | it and isn't quite ideal it's definitely |
| 6420s | helped i think quite a bit but it's not |
| 6422s | the solution yet and um |
| 6425s | part of the reason we and we knew this |
| 6426s | would kind of happen part of the reason |
| 6427s | we've been approaching this way was due |
| 6429s | to the time investment required to make |
| 6431s | it work this way uh being a little bit |
| 6433s | less than the uh |
| 6435s | probably best solution um which is which |
| 6438s | is probably looking more at a way to |
| 6440s | have |
| 6441s | reasons to explore and things to do that |
| 6444s | can be |
| 6444s | um infrequent events so so random events |
| 6447s | that can spawn a really good example |
| 6449s | this is just you're going through a map |
| 6451s | in |
| 6452s | um poe and there's like a map devices |
| 6455s | there and you go like into uh you go |
| 6457s | into a map i said i'm actually gonna go |
| 6459s | deeper right or just like a secret door |
| 6460s | opens up and there's a little mini |
| 6462s | dungeon there and there's just these |
| 6463s | things you can find that are out and |
| 6465s | about |
| 6466s | um and having more of those style of |
| 6469s | events be possible gives |
| 6472s | a point to have more exploration happen |
| 6475s | inside of a monolith |
| 6477s | which i think is more important than |
| 6478s | just straight up need to kill more |
| 6480s | things |
| 6483s | one of the really this is there's so |
| 6484s | many rants of me talking about this |
| 6486s | basically once the stream i do it so i |
| 6487s | might as well keep going uh real quick |
| 6489s | version um |
| 6491s | poe you get a map device you uh like the |
| 6494s | the car there's that intrinsic cost of |
| 6496s | going inside so there's that |
| 6498s | need to get as much as you can out of it |
| 6500s | because the maps themselves are quite |
| 6501s | valuable um especially a really |
| 6503s | well-rolled one that you may have |
| 6504s | created over a period of time so you you |
| 6507s | have this incentive to kill as many |
| 6509s | things as possible just built into the |
| 6511s | system naturally but because you can |
| 6513s | retry model echoes on the fly without a |
| 6516s | key to get into each one of them that |
| 6518s | onus isn't there on you to get your full |
| 6520s | value out of it because the full value |
| 6521s | comes from primarily the echo reward |
| 6524s | now i i saw recently was okay get rid of |
| 6527s | the echo reward and just put increased |
| 6528s | chance to find those things from the |
| 6530s | monsters yeah we we've we had things |
| 6532s | like that um |
| 6534s | it definitely slows down the |
| 6537s | pace of the of the model itself like |
| 6539s | yeah things drop in the monolith but we |
| 6540s | really want to put the primary reward |
| 6543s | stem at the end so you can if you want |
| 6546s | to you don't have to you're not spending |
| 6547s | a lot of time backtracking and that's |
| 6549s | one of the major problems that we're |
| 6550s | seeing with feedback from the uh dungeon |
| 6553s | randomization system is the backtracking |
| 6554s | quantity it's something we're trying to |
| 6556s | avoid as much as possible |
| 6559s | there's a longer version of that out |
| 6560s | there somewhere but that's all i'm gonna |
| 6561s | say right now |
| 6565s | okay so |
| 6567s | we are about 11 minutes from the top of |
| 6570s | the hour so |
| 6571s | i'm gonna try and lightening around some |
| 6574s | of these |
| 6575s | kind of catch up okay |
| 6578s | so next question from kirk delgado is |
| 6581s | there an afterlife in the le universe |
| 6585s | so some believe there is |
| 6588s | some |
| 6590s | different cultures in |
| 6592s | itaera have different thoughts on this a |
| 6594s | lot of them |
| 6596s | tie back into a terror herself |
| 6598s | but as far as like hard evidence of it |
| 6601s | there is no hard evidence of an |
| 6604s | afterlife in the terrorist setting as |
| 6606s | far as any like mortals know and in the |
| 6609s | case of undeath anyone who is |
| 6611s | raised into undeath or brought back to |
| 6614s | life they don't have any |
| 6615s | memories of the time between the |
| 6618s | original death and when they're |
| 6619s | resurrected so |
| 6621s | it's a big question mark there but |
| 6624s | certain cultures have like |
| 6626s | different different colors of different |
| 6627s | beliefs on that in the setting |
| 6629s | from saturnais what are the giant |
| 6632s | humidity figures on the void world map |
| 6635s | those are essentially gigantic void |
| 6638s | creatures that are kind of the last |
| 6640s | remnants of the void out in the far kind |
| 6642s | of reaches of completely void dominated |
| 6645s | area that are kind of |
| 6646s | their last kind of expressions of will |
| 6649s | before settling into kind of the |
| 6651s | featureless morass of darkness that is a |
| 6653s | completely void dominated area |
| 6656s | for example yeah that that is if you |
| 6657s | actually see in that example on the |
| 6659s | screen that it looks very similar to one |
| 6662s | of the void enemies you can find in last |
| 6664s | refuge these are some of the kind of |
| 6666s | like final expressions of will and |
| 6669s | movement before kind of settles into the |
| 6670s | kind of you know black nothingness of |
| 6673s | voids in state |
| 6676s | from tlo games in the future a year post |
| 6679s | post-release when the game stands among |
| 6680s | the great arpg's you'll inevitably all |
| 6682s | ask yourselves when lambo and i really |
| 6686s | everyone that built this up to release |
| 6687s | gets that lambo however today i ask the |
| 6690s | ever present and i'm sure nagging when a |
| 6692s | multiplayer |
| 6694s | we'll be done when it's done and it's |
| 6696s | soon tm and we're so excited to get it |
| 6698s | to everybody |
| 6700s | from mortarim to follow up with another |
| 6702s | question progression is focused on the |
| 6704s | class are there any plans for a second |
| 6706s | progression path similar to devotions in |
| 6708s | gram dom something that's the same for |
| 6710s | all classes and adds build death that |
| 6712s | would be great uh thought spike |
| 6715s | we've we've got a few uh tentative ideas |
| 6718s | floating around that might make their |
| 6719s | way into the game sooner rather than |
| 6721s | later but nothing finalized that we can |
| 6724s | share yet |
| 6726s | got another one from arrow weird |
| 6729s | outside it's 31 degrees celsius here i |
| 6732s | can sympathize i live in a part of the |
| 6735s | us where it was 112 last week so |
| 6739s | stay cool and hydrated everybody |
| 6741s | okay scrolling down one directly to me |
| 6744s | from mr rhymer arts hello rhymer |
| 6748s | but if it consumes everything and |
| 6749s | destroys reality the void i presume does |
| 6751s | that mean the void would then itself die |
| 6754s | if it no longer has fuel and things to |
| 6756s | consume or is it like the heat death of |
| 6758s | the universe where it just wants |
| 6760s | everything to be won and the same so |
| 6761s | everything is still does ultimately want |
| 6763s | perfect stillness and peace so it can |
| 6765s | slumber forever i super don't know but |
| 6767s | thought the wants to destroy existence |
| 6769s | was interesting that is essentially the |
| 6771s | case essentially |
| 6773s | when the void is unleashed onto a |
| 6776s | timeline the intent is to erase that |
| 6778s | timeline and the shape that eraser takes |
| 6781s | is the sort of all-consuming |
| 6785s | homogeny |
| 6786s | so the ultimate goal of the void is to |
| 6788s | essentially itself no longer exist |
| 6792s | because it has consumed everything and |
| 6794s | made everything into nothingness |
| 6798s | though orbis himself might have a bit |
| 6800s | more will and |
| 6802s | personal intention |
| 6804s | at least in the in the vein of ensuring |
| 6807s | that him he's he himself |
| 6810s | can't exist but yeah ultimately yeah the |
| 6813s | void itself would cease to exist because |
| 6815s | then everything would be void so that is |
| 6818s | sort of you know ties into the ultimate |
| 6819s | goal of the void |
| 6822s | another one from mora drim another |
| 6825s | question are there any plans to expand |
| 6827s | the current passive trees with more |
| 6828s | choices more columns and rows because |
| 6831s | you can pick most of them all you want |
| 6832s | on a build by level 80 to 90 which |
| 6834s | limits the drive to push characters |
| 6836s | thoughts mike |
| 6837s | uh i think that's happening more so in |
| 6840s | the three classes that don't have a |
| 6842s | third mastery yet |
| 6843s | um |
| 6844s | but yeah there is there is actually room |
| 6846s | in the layout for an extra row at the |
| 6848s | top |
| 6849s | um up here there's there's there's space |
| 6851s | for another row to sit there there's |
| 6853s | actually space for two more rows to sit |
| 6854s | up here um the whole thing shifts up |
| 6857s | slightly and you get uh or down slightly |
| 6860s | and you get two more at the top and like |
| 6861s | there's room for more if we wanted to |
| 6863s | and we're still considering it it's |
| 6865s | still growing um |
| 6867s | more of these style |
| 6869s | um |
| 6870s | break point nodes or that's something |
| 6871s | that we call them we call them something |
| 6873s | else more nodes like this i think we'll |
| 6875s | add a lot to that where you'll get uh |
| 6877s | specific |
| 6879s | uh |
| 6879s | threshold nodes you get specific |
| 6881s | thresholds that are really useful you'll |
| 6882s | go for those um but yeah not having that |
| 6884s | falconer here really does make that |
| 6886s | happen in |
| 6888s | rogue for example uh i think more |
| 6891s | exacerbated than other ones possible but |
| 6893s | yeah it's it's there's there's more |
| 6895s | coming there's always more coming |
| 6898s | all right next one from bush yeti 10 if |
| 6902s | you can make a whole new class what |
| 6903s | would it be with subclasses too okay my |
| 6906s | answer is a monk with mastery one being |
| 6908s | punches master two being kicks and |
| 6910s | master three being headbutts mike yours |
| 6913s | i'm not gonna say it because i think |
| 6914s | mine actually might happen |
| 6918s | good answer good answer just |
| 6921s | leave the morning more that little tease |
| 6922s | i love you |
| 6923s | all right |
| 6925s | okay i love punch kick headbutt though |
| 6927s | that's great |
| 6931s | all right next one |
| 6934s | every weird pronunciation is close |
| 6936s | enough i'll take it thank you we |
| 6938s | appreciate it nailed it |
| 6940s | another one from mortarem what are the |
| 6943s | current plans for idols the unique ones |
| 6945s | added something powerful and interesting |
| 6947s | to the game but most classes have just |
| 6948s | stat increase attached to them others |
| 6950s | have very outdated designs like the |
| 6952s | shaman ones |
| 6953s | um i think there's another mic one |
| 6955s | though i will say i think when we |
| 6956s | introduce singularity i think they're |
| 6958s | gonna open up a little bit of the |
| 6959s | floodgates for like more like unique |
| 6962s | idols of summer vain would that be |
| 6964s | correct yeah i don't think we'll see a |
| 6966s | huge number of of of idols um right away |
| 6970s | but like i don't think we'll see like |
| 6972s | 50 unique idols uh at launch or anything |
| 6975s | like that i think that would be an |
| 6976s | excessive number to see but i i do think |
| 6979s | we'll see more and um |
| 6983s | uh there are some classes that utilize |
| 6985s | it a lot better than others still and |
| 6986s | we're it's another one of those things |
| 6987s | like we'll just keep adding affixes to |
| 6989s | it um we try and have |
| 6991s | a couple affixes or at least one affix |
| 6994s | per skill that is relevant in the class |
| 6997s | specific ones um |
| 7000s | it doesn't always line up sometimes |
| 7001s | you're just there with stat ones i i |
| 7003s | think that's actually good that some |
| 7004s | classes are like some builds in some |
| 7007s | classes are using some |
| 7010s | more generic ones primarily uh it's just |
| 7013s | so it's less of a it's more diversity in |
| 7015s | in the what you're selecting there from |
| 7018s | build to build and um |
| 7021s | yeah it's just those things it'll |
| 7022s | continue to evolve as we go |
| 7026s | alrighty good answer got another one |
| 7028s | from a mortar rim are there plans to |
| 7030s | expend the rune and glyph pool even |
| 7032s | further the rare ones are very exciting |
| 7033s | to find in news i would i would love to |
| 7036s | see even more i i think that's a pretty |
| 7039s | like uncontroversial yes we'd love to |
| 7041s | add more of those as time goes on |
| 7043s | correct yeah um that's a lot of health |
| 7046s | on a pair boots uh yeah yeah we'll we'll |
| 7048s | be adding more |
| 7049s | um more rinse more glyphs it's really |
| 7051s | hard to make them |
| 7054s | uh and not cause problems oh my god it's |
| 7056s | hard to make the monocots problems we |
| 7058s | came up with well over a hundred ideas |
| 7060s | for them |
| 7061s | and |
| 7062s | these are all of the ones that made it |
| 7064s | through mechanically as being like |
| 7067s | okay |
| 7068s | this is this is out of well over a |
| 7070s | hundred these are the ones that were |
| 7071s | like all right we're we can do this |
| 7072s | without breaking stuff |
| 7079s | got another good answer |
| 7081s | got another one from mr catchy |
| 7084s | is there any secret in the game that we |
| 7086s | haven't discovered |
| 7088s | i mean if there is i probably haven't |
| 7090s | found it |
| 7092s | rick rick likes to hide things um |
| 7095s | i have no idea if there's any that are |
| 7097s | available right now that no one's found |
| 7099s | i know that there has been things |
| 7101s | that like |
| 7102s | uh a little while ago there was |
| 7104s | something it was over a year ago now i |
| 7105s | think someone found something and posted |
| 7107s | it on reddit and everyone's like oh my |
| 7109s | god no one knew about this and someone |
| 7110s | else was like i knew i knew about that |
| 7111s | for a long time so like chances of no |
| 7114s | one having found them whatever it is if |
| 7115s | there is one is pretty low um whether or |
| 7118s | not it's like common knowledge i don't |
| 7119s | know |
| 7120s | has anyone gotten the uh growl milk |
| 7122s | potion drop yet yes i've that that's |
| 7124s | that's one that was |
| 7126s | for a long time as uh no one really knew |
| 7129s | what it was and something like that |
| 7130s | might be what i was thinking of where |
| 7132s | someone was like oh my god i found it |
| 7133s | and someone's like i've seen that before |
| 7136s | good |
| 7136s | good |
| 7138s | yeah if anyone doesn't know every once |
| 7140s | in a while you can see a beer drop |
| 7142s | instead of a potion and then the same |
| 7144s | rate that beer drops compared to potions |
| 7146s | uh growl milk drops compared to beer |
| 7149s | which is they're all exactly the same |
| 7150s | thing they just have a different |
| 7152s | name on screen instead of potion it says |
| 7154s | grow milk or beer |
| 7158s | uh goldmike is such a gross anyways |
| 7161s | gonna |
| 7162s | i think i'm going to pitch the way back |
| 7164s | anyways |
| 7166s | next question is from infantis mall |
| 7169s | will we ever go to the temple of a |
| 7171s | terror when it was floating in the |
| 7172s | ancient era do we know why it crashed um |
| 7176s | no content no comment but uh there are |
| 7179s | some story chapters that we will be |
| 7181s | releasing in the future and we |
| 7185s | currently haven't gone into the ancient |
| 7186s | era much in the current campaign |
| 7189s | so |
| 7191s | not gonna say definitively but |
| 7194s | there are some there are some campaign |
| 7195s | chapters that are still in the wings |
| 7200s | all right |
| 7202s | another question from lone star |
| 7203s | mcfluffin |
| 7205s | the blood pools in the boss fight can't |
| 7207s | actually kill you they take a percent of |
| 7208s | remaining health oh thank |
| 7211s | you see |
| 7213s | how far behind we are right now my |
| 7215s | goodness |
| 7216s | oh yeah i i i thought we were closer to |
| 7218s | the bottom of the chat list than we are |
| 7220s | the scroll doesn't show you how far down |
| 7222s | you are until you scroll all the way to |
| 7223s | the bottom |
| 7224s | oh my god we must be super behind then |
| 7227s | you know we're actually at time right |
| 7229s | now |
| 7230s | um |
| 7231s | so you know if there's if there's a |
| 7234s | uh |
| 7235s | want for more of these lore question tag |
| 7237s | team streams which i assume there is um |
| 7240s | and you're interested in coming back i'd |
| 7242s | love to have you back on |
| 7243s | uh and we can we can pick up with |
| 7245s | another another style of this |
| 7248s | um but if you have anything you'd like |
| 7250s | to see on the way out we're just gonna |
| 7251s | wrap it up now |
| 7255s | you don't have to say anything you don't |
| 7256s | want to i don't know which other thought |
| 7259s | um yeah i'm definitely down for doing |
| 7260s | more of these |
| 7261s | i i do if we have time i do want to hit |
| 7264s | the rapid fire quiet for me once that he |
| 7267s | that i just saw that he puts like four |
| 7268s | in a like four in a row okay there's |
| 7271s | actually yeah okay so |
| 7273s | whose voice do we hear the type of |
| 7275s | terrorist spoken in the ruin era the |
| 7277s | character that is very similar to the |
| 7279s | situation of the shades of orbeez in |
| 7282s | that it is a |
| 7284s | similar kind of reflection but it's a |
| 7285s | sort of memory of a |
| 7287s | previous kind of point in the in orbis's |
| 7291s | personal kind of timeline so it's a |
| 7293s | similar situation to the shades but more |
| 7295s | specific to that location and the events |
| 7298s | that happen there |
| 7300s | another one from i'll go and do dank |
| 7302s | labs because it's right in between um |
| 7304s | and the passive tree for the rogue there |
| 7306s | are threshold nodes that give you a |
| 7307s | bonus if you put so many points in a |
| 7309s | certain notes i thought it was mentioned |
| 7310s | that this is going to be added to other |
| 7311s | classes will be some power creep i will |
| 7314s | keep an eye on the balance of things of |
| 7316s | course if it has a risk of power creep |
| 7318s | we'll tweak some knobs elsewhere to keep |
| 7320s | it in line i think that's probably the |
| 7322s | most diplomatic answer there |
| 7325s | um next one from quite for me will we |
| 7326s | see an alternate timeline where mage |
| 7328s | character was also corrupted on the |
| 7329s | council of elders so to clarify the |
| 7332s | corrupted elders you see in game are |
| 7334s | both from the ruined era from last |
| 7336s | refuge specifically pantheon and gaspar |
| 7338s | whereas the player mage is from walrun |
| 7340s | and divine era so not really the same |
| 7342s | group but if it were to see an alternate |
| 7344s | timeline of the mage character probably |
| 7346s | the best places we would go to for that |
| 7349s | would be either a monolith timeline or |
| 7352s | potentially more likely one of the |
| 7354s | champions gate bosses if were to delve |
| 7356s | into that in the future uh next one |
| 7359s | quite for me |
| 7360s | is the mage and female statues in the |
| 7363s | temple of terror |
| 7364s | human interpretations of terror and |
| 7366s | orbus close the female one is a terror |
| 7368s | but the male one is the observer |
| 7371s | and last but for quite for me last |
| 7373s | question |
| 7374s | will minimus and maximus ever reunite in |
| 7376s | the end of time we do want to do some |
| 7378s | updates to the end of time especially |
| 7380s | since like we moved the arena entrance |
| 7382s | from there to champions gate it's |
| 7384s | whatever |
| 7385s | at this point one of our earliest zones |
| 7387s | now so whenever we do an update in a |
| 7389s | time we might do something there i will |
| 7392s | definitely keep it in the back of my |
| 7393s | mind because i do love those doggos |
| 7397s | and |
| 7401s | one last one last one just because i |
| 7403s | feel like random name x when answering |
| 7404s | more questions how often are you tended |
| 7406s | to just say a wizard did it um sometimes |
| 7409s | but it's more fun to |
| 7411s | just you know get that answer |
| 7413s | to just make that answer happen |
| 7419s | and |
| 7420s | okay |
| 7421s | is that it we good i i i believe so if i |
| 7425s | if i'm gonna i'm gonna not scroll |
| 7427s | because i'll be tempted to continue if i |
| 7428s | scroll |
| 7430s | all right well it sounds like we've got |
| 7431s | lots more questions on the uh on |
| 7433s | people's minds so if we can get another |
| 7435s | one together we'll we'll talk about it |
| 7437s | and possibly come back to the other one |
| 7439s | i'll let you guys know next week if |
| 7440s | we're gonna do any more of these in the |
| 7442s | future uh when that will be i did toss |
| 7444s | off another spoiler while you were going |
| 7445s | there that was the end of chronic |
| 7446s | version of the new wandering spirits uh |
| 7449s | vfx ability there so um |
