| 21s | playing a ton of run Master |
| 24s | lately but for now I'm just going to |

| 54s | at last dep game in the question so I |
| 56s | see it and I'll be able to get to it |
| 58s | faster also we stream for charity it's |
| 62s | the first stream of the month so we've |
| 63s | got a new |
| 64s | charity we're getting food out to people |
| 67s | it's going to be great I hope you all |
| 72s | enjoy imagine doing a Q&A when you could |
| 75s | be watching bcon I know I I'll I'll |
| 78s | watch I'll watch like highlights and uh |
| 81s | I'll probably rewatch the whole thing |
| 82s | let's be |
| 84s | honest but uh it's the sort of thing |
| 87s | that I can watch when I'm when I'm |
| 89s | making dinner at like double speed you |
| 92s | [Laughter] |
| 101s | know so that's probably what I'll do and |
| 104s | I and I do expect our numbers to be a |
| 105s | little bit low today because blz gon is |
| 109s | happening and that is totally |
| 118s | fine as my character just shouts |
| 121s | [Laughter] |
| 124s | fools good timing |
| 133s | there do I remember how to play this yes |
| 135s | I do cuz it just plays so easy not that |
| 140s | like not not that um like it makes the |
| 145s | game easy but just like there's not a |
| 148s | lot of bad buttons to press like just |
| 152s | like well there's a button I can press |
| 154s | oh it's good good choice you press the |
| 156s | button I really like |
| 161s | it uh hey Mike not sure if you've |
| 164s | answered this probably but that's |
| 165s | totally fine happen answer it again if I |
| 166s | have but at some point are you going to |
| 168s | have side dungeons that randomly spawn |
| 170s | in either campaign Maps or monol Maps |
| 172s | kind of similar to the corrupted |
| 173s | dungeons that spawn in Poe um so |
| 178s | the I I would say there's a high |
| 180s | probability of something like this |
| 181s | happening |
| 183s | um but a low probability of it happening |
| 186s | very |
| 187s | soon so it won't it won't be a 1.0 |
| 190s | feature |
| 192s | um but this is exactly the sort of |
| 195s | content that we are looking to add to |
| 196s | the game that we think is really going |
| 198s | to be um a big deal for monolith |
| 201s | especially and and other stuff too so |
| 203s | like just just having that unexpected |
| 205s | content show up and things to do that |
| 207s | you're like oh hey something cool to do |
| 210s | that wasn't expecting to do and and I |
| 212s | think that and that sort of stuff's |
| 213s | really valuable and that's the sort of |
| 214s | thing that we're really focusing on um |
| 216s | for for future content so um like in in |
| 220s | the cycles that come after 1.0 so the |
| 222s | 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 all those big patches um |
| 227s | will will likely have some smattering of |
| 229s | effects similar to this or a system |
| 231s | similar to |
| 235s | this yeah let's get a unique I I laugh |
| 238s | in the face of Mark for death |
| 247s | yeah you know I like those those you're |
| 250s | playing Poe and like you find like |
| 252s | you're in a map and you find a map |
| 253s | device in your map device and your you |
| 255s | find a map in your map and it opens a |
| 257s | new map and you're and you go the deeper |
| 259s | and then you go deeper and it's like how |
| 261s | many map layers are there to this thing |
| 263s | um like that's that's super cool it's it |
| 266s | starts to get a little on the |
| 267s | complicated side sometimes with all the |
| 269s | different things that can happen happen |
| 272s | um |
| 274s | but like whether or not it's too much or |
| 276s | not is is very much a matter of opinion |
| 278s | um and we're definitely on the too |
| 281s | little side right now that is uh that's |
| 285s | also opinion but um probably a less |
| 289s | hotly debated |
| 299s | one |
| 313s | don't forget to put atlast defu game in |
| 314s | front of your questions if you like Miss |
| 316s | see it uh if I do skip over it please |
| 319s | answer it again but I do see one here |
| 320s | that I'll answer um question what was |
| 323s | the most difficult feature to develop |
| 325s | for the game like um the the the copout |
| 328s | answer is multiplayer |
| 330s | by far the most difficult thing like not |
| 333s | even remotely close um if we're going to |
| 335s | like delve a little bit into more |
| 336s | specifics and like like okay what in |
| 338s | detail what part of multiplayer what |
| 340s | what makes that so difficult |
| 343s | um and like it's it's probably things |
| 347s | that we just like haven't implemented |
| 348s | yet or like have just implemented but |
| 350s | it's like not out yet so like the um how |
| 354s | you can still like push enemies around |
| 355s | in multiplayer especially like really |
| 357s | large enemies like um the dragon boss |
| 359s | you can still push enemies around for |
| 361s | that um I know someone's working on that |
| 363s | right now it's it's a tough thing to do |
| 365s | um and and so like yeah the multiplayer |
| 369s | and really specific things in |
| 370s | multiplayer is the the hardest stuff |
| 374s | um |
| 376s | saving uh which I know sounds like such |
| 379s | a fundamental thing that you're like how |
| 380s | could saving be difficult multiplayer |
| 383s | saving oh my God it's |
| 386s | complicated um having having these these |
| 390s | many different services like positions |
| 392s | of authority so every every time you |
| 393s | connect to a new Zone every time the the |
| 396s | number when you hit tab um oh it |
| 399s | actually like will say the Zone name up |
| 400s | there that might only be in development |
| 402s | builds actually but whatever this when |
| 404s | whenever the Zone you're in changes the |
| 406s | scene changes you go through any sort of |
| 407s | loading scene transition um you're |
| 410s | connecting to a different physical |
| 412s | server well sometimes it's physical |
| 413s | sometimes it's software but like you're |
| 415s | there's a good chance you're connected |
| 417s | to a different physical box somewhere |
| 418s | else in the world every time time you |
| 420s | change scenes and um having the things |
| 424s | you do on the new server and the old |
| 427s | server be reconciled when it saves to |
| 429s | long-term storage is like one of if not |
| 433s | the biggest Pitfall of um a game like |
| 436s | this and how they're typically |
| 439s | created |
| 440s | um so yeah those those are the big ones |
| 446s | probably did I see any the questions |
| 447s | that I missed there |
| 450s | we be providing a road map for of things |
| 452s | that will be in the launch versus in |
| 454s | later patches um the we don't we don't |
| 458s | have a a plan to bring out a full like |
| 460s | detailed road map we did recently |
| 463s | release in our um patch date |
| 465s | announcement a uh a light road map it's |
| 469s | called a road map and it is so it's it's |
| 471s | it's more of an announcement road map |
| 472s | but it has the key things that are |
| 474s | coming if we're going to do like a a |
| 475s | major feature road map for 1.0 um item |
| 479s | fact actions Warlock and Falconer there |
| 483s | you go there's the road map um specific |
| 485s | detailed features uh we don't have like |
| 487s | a big list of those that uh were were |
| 491s | that's available at all |
| 493s | sorry um there is a community-led effort |
| 497s | uh by Andrew Tilly for uh a a like a an |
| 502s | unofficial road map that that they have |
| 504s | been curating for uh quite a while now |
| 507s | and is very impressive um |
| 512s | uh you can check that out on our forums |
| 514s | and someone here can probably link that |
| 515s | to you pretty quickly or just just go to |
| 518s | the forums and search road |
| 527s | map the uh the version that you see here |
| 530s | is the live version you can see top left |
| 531s | corner it shows the version that I'm |
| 534s | playing on um which is exactly the same |
| 536s | as what everyone else has access to I |
| 537s | don't stream um hidden in special Dev |
| 540s | versions um just just so that I can't |
| 544s | risk accidentally leaking things because |
| 546s | I do intentionally leak things quite a |
| 548s | bit um but it is uh the the what what |
| 553s | you see on screen is just I'm just |
| 554s | playing the same way anyone else would |
| 556s | um it's more just the only reason I'm |
| 558s | actually playing is so that I can |
| 559s | quickly reference things in game if I |
| 562s | need to look something up as it answer |
| 563s | to a question um Al just cool just show |
| 565s | off the game in general and most of most |
| 568s | importantly I just want to |
| 571s | play um so this is my this is my weekly |
| 575s | um live version like live game version |
| 580s | playtime a little on weekends too but |
| 584s | this is the big one for |
| 585s | me most of the time I'm playing on our |
| 588s | uh development |
| 589s | build |
| 591s | systems CU yeah we did a um we did a |
| 595s | test we we had I had my first like full |
| 600s | uh end to endend experience test of the |
| 602s | um Merchants Guild a couple days ago |
| 605s | which was which was a lot of fun it was |
| 607s | really cool um very pumped for that to |
| 609s | come |
| 610s | out which will be 1.0 not before not |
| 613s | after 1.0 |
| 618s | um yeah it's it's looking real good I'm |
| 623s | pumped still still a few few bugs |
| 625s | hiccups things to work out um you know |
| 629s | we're still |
| 630s | looking at how we've set things up and |
| 631s | going okay is that what we want and you |
| 633s | know because it's such an early version |
| 635s | of the play test version we have to |
| 637s | um still decide like oh is this giving |
| 641s | the functionality we want is this giving |
| 642s | the the the play experience we want yada |
| 645s | y |
| 649s | y all right we all |
| 652s | inent there's no default loot filter uh |
| 656s | there is no default loot filter in Poe |
| 658s | what do you want about oh this was |
| 659s | talking to someone else |
| 665s | uh I'm just going to go back to put |
| 667s | Atlas OT gaming your question if you |
| 668s | want me to answer it uh weirdest |
| 670s | multiplayer loading bug during loading |
| 672s | wolves attack and kills you yet there's |
| 675s | no wolves in past or next Zone cool |
| 678s | that's a fun |
| 680s | one uh I can play eldr Splash warlock |
| 683s | eldrich blast warlock in le2 um well |
| 688s | the ability the eldrich blast is not one |
| 691s | that's in Blast Depo it's it's iconic |
| 694s | enough to uh D andd I feel like we might |
| 696s | get in trouble for using that exact name |
| 703s | um and I'll be honest I don't know |
| 706s | exactly what that ability |
| 711s | does and I'm kind of assuming that it's |
| 713s | a DND D |
| 716s | [Laughter] |
| 717s | thing yeah |
| 723s | um warlock abilities will be uh unveiled |
| 728s | on a uh I think there's I think there's |
| 731s | a a specific date for when we're |
| 733s | unveiling warlock stuff so I I have no |
| 735s | details on warlock stuff uh until then |
| 739s | at all zip zero |
| 744s | zilch H this may seem like a weird |
| 746s | question I love weird questions but are |
| 749s | there any plans to update the |
| 756s | [Music] |
| 767s | [Music] |
| 778s | chronorecord |
| 779s | I don't know if there's any plans for it |
| 781s | or not but if you want to see something |
| 782s | like or anything happen uh please head |
| 785s | on over to our forums or Discord and |
| 788s | leave a suggestion on the irrelevant |
| 790s | threads the suggestions |
| 793s | threads a that big that giant giant Nova |
| 796s | is so nice and you like never see it on |
| 799s | unreversed |
| 808s | order |
| 820s | okay let's let's let's try and two of us |
| 822s | can blow up are you going to blow up or |
| 824s | am I going to blow up who's going to |
| 824s | blow up |
| 832s | first uh this may seem like a weird |
| 834s | question but there any I already answer |
| 838s | this I saw that the graphical updates |
| 841s | will be teased in this stream very |
| 842s | excited to see that who who who could |
| 845s | have what oh Jud mentioned |
| 848s | it yeah okay |
| 851s | fine ruining my surprise Jud yes are |
| 857s | there any plans on maybe somehow Advance |
| 860s | the skills that are already there I |
| 864s | think you mentioned something similar |
| 865s | but couldn't go into detail um so if |
| 867s | you're asking will there be updates to |
| 869s | existing skills in 1.0 um yes every |
| 872s | patch comes with updates to existing |
| 875s | skills uh if you look at our um just |
| 879s | look at any patch and you'll see a huge |
| 881s | section about updates to existing |
| 888s | skills there won't |
| 891s | be like the the primary focus for the |
| 894s | skills team and the dramatically vast |
| 897s | majority of skill changes |
| 900s | are involved in Warlock and Falconer I |
| 903s | can't overstate how much it is skewed |
| 905s | towards Warlock and |
| 910s | Falconer which hope hopefully shouldn't |
| 913s | be a surprise at |
| 918s | all uh we be nerfing or buffing certain |
| 920s | skills prior to launch specifically |
| 928s | yes |
| 932s | yeah we Nerf and buff skills all the |
| 941s | time yeah I see a lot of these debates |
| 944s | on uh on on various platforms um I think |
| 947s | there was one very recently on Reddit |
| 948s | about uh if you |
| 951s | should um Nerf it was a poll it what it |
| 954s | was a poll on Reddit uh and it was like |
| 956s | should you it was more of like a a |
| 958s | theore iCal pole so like should you Nerf |
| 962s | like in in balancing should you Nerf |
| 964s | overpowered things or should you buff |
| 965s | underpowered things um and I'm like this |
| 968s | is the right answer is not on this poll |
| 970s | because the right answer is neither of |
| 972s | those things it's both of those things |
| 974s | um there there's there's no one |
| 977s | situation fits all answer to that |
| 979s | question and |
| 982s | um I think it I think it stems from this |
| 985s | like I I don't know fear of Nerfs or |
| 989s | um like uh maybe an individual traumatic |
| 993s | experience with a specific Nerf that may |
| 994s | have happened at some point um but yeah |
| 997s | Nerfs Nerfs are necessary Nerfs are |
| 999s | absolutely necessary uh to to keep |
| 1002s | [Music] |
| 1004s | a uh a healthy gameplay environment and |
| 1008s | that might not be a very popular thing |
| 1009s | to say |
| 1011s | um and it's it's not to say that only |
| 1014s | Nerfs are necessary or that you got Nerf |
| 1016s | everything or anything like that it's |
| 1018s | just that there's there's not you can't |
| 1020s | you can't look at a a very complex |
| 1023s | problem and apply a generic solution to |
| 1025s | it in most |
| 1031s | cases so we do |
| 1039s | both and then and sometimes you Nerf |
| 1042s | something and then it's still op and the |
| 1044s | you Nerf it again and it's still op and |
| 1045s | the you Nerf it again and it's still op |
| 1048s | that's happen a couple times or it's |
| 1050s | like how many times you have to Nerf |
| 1051s | this thing uh it's like there um like |
| 1057s | still powerful today |
| 1071s | even oh random name X thank you very |
| 1075s | much for 19 months in a row wow also |
| 1079s | falcon or when when it's |
| 1083s | ready but all serious February |
| 1086s | 21st I guess I can actually say a date |
| 1088s | now can't I oh my god I didn't even |
| 1090s | realize that ah I can say a date |
| 1093s | finally that's |
| 1100s | great I'm actually working |
| 1103s | on was working on Falcon this |
| 1105s | morning one one of one of the abilities |
| 1108s | this generated by |
| 1111s | Falconer big spoilers the falconer class |
| 1114s | has |
| 1115s | [Laughter] |
| 1123s | abilities it's going to be a lot of fun |
| 1125s | I'm really excited for it the the |
| 1127s | animation animation VFX like sfx all all |
| 1131s | those all those teams are just they're |
| 1133s | they're just doing such a good job and |
| 1135s | and uh it just seems like every time I |
| 1138s | turn around |
| 1139s | it's somehow better than it was before |
| 1141s | you're just like well this is this is |
| 1143s | our Peak our Peak for this category and |
| 1145s | shows up oh no never mind I was |
| 1148s | wrong great thing to be wrong |
| 1161s | about get it thunder |
| 1165s | dragon welcome to the Thunder Dome |
| 1172s | I that Bel yes some trash talking a |
| 1175s | inanimate object in a video game I love |
| 1178s | okay I love item this was this was bad |
| 1180s | but I love items like this where you get |
| 1181s | it it's only T6 as well I think right |
| 1183s | yeah it's only T6 um but you find like |
| 1186s | uh exalted items that have my favorite |
| 1189s | is one it's just one t7 item um It's |
| 1192s | actually an interestingly appropriate uh |
| 1195s | exalted AIC for the base which is cool |
| 1198s | um but yeah you get these |
| 1200s | like uh single exalted AIX items and |
| 1204s | it's just such a blank slate it's just |
| 1206s | so wonderful to be able just do whatever |
| 1207s | you want to it usually just use a |
| 1209s | discovery on it anyways and it's like it |
| 1211s | dropped a bunch of stats but you |
| 1221s | know digal Baker jud's never heard that |
| 1224s | before don't |
| 1227s | worry |
| 1230s | I'm new welcome glad to have you with us |
| 1233s | but you can use experimental item to |
| 1236s | make a unique item legendary or is it |
| 1238s | only exalted items uh the |
| 1242s | only item or or the requirements for |
| 1245s | making an item to be legendary is that |
| 1249s | the item is exalted it requires an |
| 1252s | exalted item it um it it's very explicit |
| 1256s | in these |
| 1257s | instructions uh not this |
| 1262s | this right |
| 1267s | there yes a unique item uh unique and |
| 1270s | exalted item boom right |
| 1282s | there Mr fibble asks which Falconer |
| 1286s | skill are you most excited about |
| 1297s | um uh the the second |
| 1301s | one the second one the second one you |
| 1304s | unlock in your |
| 1310s | passives like the one the one that sits |
| 1312s | right right here where frostell sits for |
| 1315s | rud |
| 1317s | master |
| 1321s | is there is there a point I don't think |
| 1322s | there's any point in the middle of |
| 1323s | that's we hitting all |
| 1325s | three that push that push that's what I |
| 1327s | was talking about earlier that like that |
| 1328s | you can just like slide him |
| 1330s | along not he's using the ability |
| 1332s | apparently but |
| 1334s | yeah this this like I'mma push you a |
| 1337s | little bit got to get rid of that we're |
| 1340s | working on |
| 1341s | it I'm more confident in that being |
| 1344s | fixed now than I ever have been but it's |
| 1345s | not done yet so until it's ready |
| 1356s | I'm using an unspecialized version of |
| 1358s | glyphid dominion just to get um some |
| 1361s | like some uh well a to trigger the Rune |
| 1364s | easily but also to get some Buffs for |
| 1366s | standing in it and I wish it just like |
| 1368s | lasted a little bit longer but I mean I |
| 1371s | guess that makes sense cuz |
| 1374s | um like that's half the thing is you got |
| 1376s | to specialize it to get all the stuff |
| 1377s | out of it right |
| 1391s | all right more |
| 1393s | [Music] |
| 1394s | questions oh Kane agrees the second one |
| 1397s | is just so good yeah that's |
| 1403s | funny it's |
| 1407s | funny |
| 1411s | why am I excited about the second |
| 1412s | Falconer skill it's got It's |
| 1414s | got it's got a really solid feel to |
| 1419s | it you use it it just feels good jump |
| 1424s | there we |
| 1430s | go honestly all of them feel really good |
| 1432s | which is is such a great great |
| 1437s | thing |
| 1452s | jump haven't CH chop with that that |
| 1455s | quick tap on the dash that I do it ruins |
| 1462s | me uh any chance we can see DPS numbers |
| 1465s | on minions and totems in the tool tip |
| 1467s | DPS uh tool tips would be nice to know |
| 1470s | some things uh give more DPS or not um |
| 1473s | yes it is something that we are working |
| 1475s | on still it's uh back burner issue |
| 1482s | um they're they're not very accurate in |
| 1484s | general but yes it is good to see like |
| 1486s | oh did that have any effect at all yeah |
| 1488s | that that's nice |
| 1490s | um the really easy way to tell if you |
| 1493s | want to know if something affects a |
| 1494s | minion or not is does the stat say |
| 1496s | minion on it |
| 1499s | that's it it's all you need to |
| 1501s | know if the stat says minion it affects |
| 1503s | your minion if it doesn't say minion it |
| 1505s | doesn't affect your |
| 1506s | minion about it um the exceptions being |
| 1510s | attributes so like uh dexterity will |
| 1513s | affect some minions and intelligence |
| 1514s | will affect other minions and you know |
| 1516s | things like that so just look at the |
| 1518s | tool tips for the minion it'll tell you |
| 1520s | what affects it |
| 1525s | um |
| 1527s | yeah |
| 1536s | that big boom so |
| 1540s | good launch for Falcon September |
| 1546s | 21st September 21st oh my God February |
| 1555s | 21st do you remember |
| 1561s | the 21st night of |
| 1568s | September |
| 1582s | okay n is that my singing oh I mean I |
| 1586s | know it's terrible but yeah fair |
| 1593s | enough that what is it what is it what |
| 1595s | is it what is it I do it's a cool ring |
| 1598s | it just doesn't work |
| 1602s | here let's get some |
| 1605s | exalted |
| 1606s | [Music] |
| 1612s | relics I have not been drinking enough |
| 1614s | water lately and I've really noticed |
| 1617s | it |
| 1619s | like affecting me I don't like |
| 1631s | it uh to add the DPS number Thing cast |
| 1634s | speed impacts the DPS but not the actual |
| 1638s | damage we |
| 1643s | do uh will we ever see a clear number of |
| 1646s | how damage a certain how how much damage |
| 1649s | a certain skill does |
| 1651s | um |
| 1654s | the this this is going to sound weird we |
| 1657s | have no intention of giving you a |
| 1658s | perfect DPS |
| 1661s | calculation oh just out of |
| 1665s | range |
| 1667s | um cast speed of channeled abilities |
| 1671s | which |
| 1672s | is the the biggest discrepancy here does |
| 1675s | technically impact their DPS um |
| 1680s | um I'll be extremely |
| 1688s | negligibly um I don't know like how much |
| 1691s | just damage a hit's going to do it's one |
| 1693s | of those things where calculating it |
| 1695s | perfectly is the same as just |
| 1700s | like behind the scenes creating the |
| 1702s | thing you're gonna hit and like a fake |
| 1705s | version of it and like actually hitting |
| 1707s | it |
| 1708s | [Music] |
| 1711s | um cuz you don't know how much damage |
| 1713s | it's actually going to deal until it |
| 1714s | hits the thing because there's so many |
| 1716s | conditional |
| 1717s | effects they get calculated on the fly |
| 1720s | so the the game like if you have a |
| 1723s | fireball that you're about to cast |
| 1727s | um the game doesn't know necessarily how |
| 1731s | much damage that fireball is going to |
| 1733s | deal regardless of Target |
| 1734s | defenses um like whether it's going to |
| 1737s | be a a 100 damage Fireball or a 500 |
| 1739s | damage Fireball it doesn't necessarily |
| 1741s | know that until the fireball is already |
| 1743s | in the air and then the fireball knows |
| 1745s | what it's going to do itself but the |
| 1747s | player doesn't ever know what the |
| 1749s | fireball is going to do and this is |
| 1750s | because there are effects that happen |
| 1752s | that get applied as as it's being cast |
| 1756s | so there's a lot of things that say like |
| 1759s | um like your |
| 1761s | next uh it's probably a bad example but |
| 1764s | yeah you get the idea your like your |
| 1766s | next fire ability does double Dam damage |
| 1768s | let's say you have say you had an effect |
| 1769s | like that your next fire spell does |
| 1771s | double damage |
| 1773s | um Fireball doesn't know that buff |
| 1777s | exists and um like with with how it's |
| 1780s | how it's applied to uh to your abilities |
| 1783s | and to your character and how it how it |
| 1784s | actually functions um that information |
| 1786s | doesn't get passed along uh to the |
| 1789s | ability until that ability technically |
| 1791s | already exists the the frame it exists |
| 1794s | that gets added onto it um so it's not |
| 1797s | like it's there there's some system |
| 1798s | sitting there going like okay well your |
| 1799s | next Fireball is going to do double |
| 1801s | damage um and Fireball knows this it's |
| 1803s | more like the next skill you use has a |
| 1808s | chance or has these these checks it goes |
| 1811s | through to see if it should get these |
| 1813s | effects |
| 1815s | um and it checks it checks a whole bunch |
| 1817s | of things it doesn't check just the ones |
| 1818s | you have which is I sounds terrible but |
| 1820s | it's fine and |
| 1823s | um you you end up with a bunch of a |
| 1825s | bunch of information that we we just we |
| 1827s | can't put on tool tips um at least we |
| 1831s | don't have a good way to put on tool |
| 1832s | tips now and um so we're we we kind of |
| 1836s | have to give up on the perfect tool tip |
| 1839s | DPS |
| 1841s | anyways |
| 1843s | um or or remove all those effects but |
| 1846s | those effects are |
| 1856s | sweet |
| 1862s | um but the as far as the the the how |
| 1864s | much damage we think it's going to do |
| 1865s | and how much the DPS is if you just look |
| 1867s | at the cast rate and divide it by the |
| 1869s | the DPS it's uh you get damage per |
| 1885s | hit that does that does include like |
| 1889s | ailments and lots of other supplementary |
| 1892s | effects so |
| 1895s | it's not super straightforward that's a |
| 1898s | sweet |
| 1904s | one it's neat |
| 1915s | but still dropping stuff |
| 1922s | that's still out |
| 1926s | there let's go this |
| 1946s | way |
| 1953s | yeah FS 916 I the |
| 1960s | question uh why not add a DPS timer all |
| 1963s | lost Arc um because we don't want to |
| 1965s | have |
| 1968s | it uh it would help tremendously to help |
| 1970s | understand DPS uh for faster for fast |
| 1973s | multi-hits or Dodge minions absolutely |
| 1976s | would |
| 1984s | uh any chance we're going to get some |
| 1985s | love for auto bombers in this game I |
| 1987s | mean there is a pretty |
| 1989s | big uh autobomber style archetype that |
| 1991s | already exists um not sure it needs a |
| 1994s | ton of |
| 1999s | love but uh having said that I have no |
| 2001s | information as to the status of |
| 2005s | potential balance changes one way or the |
| 2007s | other |
| 2015s | and frequently we kind of accidentally |
| 2018s | buff things where we'll like add in some |
| 2021s | new effect um maybe it'll be planned for |
| 2024s | one class um and helps another just sort |
| 2028s | of |
| 2033s | accidentally so you never really know |
| 2035s | until patch nuts go live |
| 2043s | those are some big |
| 2046s | boulders I they don't start off that way |
| 2049s | but they sure get that |
| 2060s | way I love that one the little like mini |
| 2062s | Glacier Cascade big |
| 2065s | fan that was when I was considering |
| 2067s | trying to set up a build around that it |
| 2069s | like specifically went for that one |
| 2071s | every single |
| 2082s | time I really want to something that I |
| 2085s | was brought up recently um that I still |
| 2087s | really want to do now that I was very |
| 2089s | against before but I've come around on |
| 2090s | is the icon shifting colors so like |
| 2094s | flame Rush right now is a cold flame |
| 2096s | Rush right like it's it's cold c y y y |
| 2098s | does all cold stuff makes cold runes |
| 2100s | it's blue um but the icon's still red |
| 2102s | now we've previously left the icon um as |
| 2107s | the base icon um very |
| 2111s | intentionally but I I've come around now |
| 2113s | and I'd like to see especially with R |
| 2115s | Master I'd like to see them switch to |
| 2116s | like this Frost wall being Fire have |
| 2118s | like a red version of it and it really |
| 2120s | can just be color pallet swaps like it |
| 2121s | doesn't need to be full redesigns of |
| 2124s | them it's actually probably better if |
| 2126s | it's just a color pallette swap because |
| 2127s | that way um the icon itself stays |
| 2132s | recognizable and the other the other |
| 2134s | option that I've heard recently that I |
| 2135s | really liked was like just a little like |
| 2138s | like a snowflake in in there so it's the |
| 2141s | these things these symbols but just like |
| 2144s | in the in the skill corner of the icon |
| 2146s | so you can see that it's been switched |
| 2147s | or something like that I think that'd be |
| 2148s | really cool |
| 2156s | too |
| 2169s | this one's really flashy but I don't |
| 2171s | find it actually that powerful |
| 2173s | interestingly |
| 2176s | enough it's pretty good to group but I'd |
| 2178s | rather just have the big |
| 2181s | boom all right okay a more in-depth |
| 2184s | question void knight uh I identify |
| 2188s | Mastery |
| 2190s | passive identify Mastery passive I know |
| 2194s | what that is uh don't support spells |
| 2196s | fully just the echo for spells but the |
| 2198s | damage increase has the melee tag oh I'm |
| 2202s | going to have to look at this any chance |
| 2203s | we get a change to General void damage |
| 2205s | and not only melee um I I have no |
| 2208s | information on upcoming changes to |
| 2211s | balance uh for the game |
| 2214s | um void Knight is is very very firmly |
| 2218s | focused as a melee class um and if this |
| 2223s | if we're just talking about the actual |
| 2224s | like the Mastery bonus um we really try |
| 2228s | to keep the Mastery bonuses focusing on |
| 2231s | specific themes that that class want |
| 2233s | that we we want to push in that class |
| 2234s | primarily and putting in sub themes |
| 2237s | there is usually something we |
| 2240s | avoid so if this is actually the Mastery |
| 2243s | passive |
| 2244s | itself um that's probably why it's not |
| 2246s | there |
| 2248s | and then like the generic answer of if |
| 2250s | you have a suggestion or something you |
| 2251s | like to see in the game please put it in |
| 2252s | the Forum uh in the appropriate section |
| 2254s | or on our Discord in the appropriate |
| 2256s | section uh that actually gets checked |
| 2258s | for things because I don't write stuff |
| 2259s | down from stream because I'm |
| 2273s | terrible got |
| 2275s | him I'll take look at what that is in a |
| 2277s | sec here now that I'm out of |
| 2281s | danger Prett C memory oh that's |
| 2284s | nice that's nice wonder how high this |
| 2286s | character's been we go to a really high |
| 2289s | Arena that might be fun to do an arena |
| 2292s | actually uh okay I'm going to go look |
| 2294s | for the VK |
| 2298s | identify Mastery |
| 2300s | passive sure what that |
| 2303s | is let's go |
| 2306s | look |
| 2309s | uh build |
| 2310s | planner easiest way to look at that |
| 2312s | isn't |
| 2314s | it void |
| 2317s | night void night |
| 2321s | passes void |
| 2325s | night |
| 2327s | ident ident no no there's nothing called |
| 2336s | ENT |
| 2349s | the echo okay I think I think we're |
| 2352s | talking I think we're talking about just |
| 2353s | the the Mastery |
| 2355s | passive so just like the 75% increase |
| 2357s | melee void damage and your melee attack |
| 2359s | throwing attacks and void spells have a |
| 2361s | 10% chance to be U repeated by the echo |
| 2364s | .5 seconds later |
| 2368s | yeah I mean it's it's it's designed |
| 2370s | primarily as a melee melee class so |
| 2372s | we're pushing that melee stuff pretty |
| 2374s | hard on there |
| 2376s | um it's probably why it's like |
| 2381s | that don't remember exactly though it's |
| 2383s | been a it's been a while since we've |
| 2384s | looked at a lot of the uh passive trees |
| 2387s | for some some older |
| 2392s | classes we generally try not to make the |
| 2396s | passive the Mastery passive bonuses too |
| 2399s | like overwhelmingly strong they're |
| 2401s | usually designed more as a |
| 2405s | um a a a primary signpost to players to |
| 2408s | be like here's here's here's a good idea |
| 2411s | of how to play this class here's some |
| 2413s | like key stats that are going to be |
| 2414s | useful for the vast majority of you in |
| 2417s | some way and it's a good indicator of |
| 2419s | like here's here's some here's a hint |
| 2421s | along the path of uh a an easy way to |
| 2424s | play this class that fits thematically |
| 2426s | in a in all that sort of stuff |
| 2429s | um but you know it's not have them be so |
| 2432s | strong that it's like oh if I'm not |
| 2433s | using my entire Mastery bonus this build |
| 2435s | is scuffed like we don't want that to be |
| 2437s | there so it's it's generally not as um |
| 2440s | mega |
| 2447s | powerful 7% increase that's like a like |
| 2450s | a T4 AIX or something like that that's |
| 2452s | that's lost out on it's not that |
| 2454s | much T3 or something I it's not that |
| 2457s | high I I don't know how high that goes |
| 2459s | can we find |
| 2461s | out |
| 2462s | uh how can we find out |
| 2465s | easily we just want |
| 2469s | increased uh spell damage really slap |
| 2473s | that on |
| 2475s | something I me there's there's 2011 |
| 2477s | right now t7 t7 is 21 so T5 is probably |
| 2481s | 100 so T4 is probably pretty close 75 |
| 2483s | yeah that's probably not far |
| 2485s | off |
| 2489s | could we could actually look it up |
| 2491s | here someone else look it |
| 2494s | up if you |
| 2503s | want all right moving on down the |
| 2507s | list uh when we get more Echoes will we |
| 2511s | be able to favor certain Echoes so be |
| 2515s | more common among the monolith we are in |
| 2518s | um |
| 2525s | no I mean you can you can um like |
| 2528s | manipulate which ones you get by just |
| 2530s | picking those ones in the Overworld like |
| 2532s | in in the |
| 2535s | map and not and each timeline has a |
| 2538s | different pool of Echoes that it pulls |
| 2539s | from so like The Echoes that exist in |
| 2542s | age of winter are different than the |
| 2543s | Echoes that exist in Rain of dragons and |
| 2545s | there is some overlap um there are some |
| 2547s | that's just generic I think for all of |
| 2548s | them and some that are like specific to |
| 2550s | only one and everything in |
| 2555s | between uh do you know any new unique |
| 2558s | Idols that will spice up the gameplay |
| 2559s | for some classes |
| 2564s | um someone was talking about a unique |
| 2566s | Idol the other day I don't know if it |
| 2568s | ever got |
| 2569s | added we we T there's unique Idols that |
| 2571s | get pitched all the time I have no idea |
| 2573s | if any are going into 1.0 or |
| 2575s | not |
| 2587s | any chance you're allowed to give us |
| 2588s | more than or less than numerical amount |
| 2590s | of new unique items coming to |
| 2593s | 1.0 um I uh most of the unique items |
| 2597s | come to 1.0 probably haven't even been |
| 2598s | conceptualized yet so no I |
| 2605s | can't |
| 2607s | but I would say my guess as just someone |
| 2610s | who's been involved with this game for |
| 2612s | quite a while is roughly similar to most |
| 2614s | other |
| 2620s | patches maybe a little bit more cuz we |
| 2622s | got two Mastery class is |
| 2633s | coming how's VK melee class Focus class |
| 2635s | with all of its abil ities are |
| 2639s | spells um well it's not all |
| 2659s | spells least they all have a spell |
| 2661s | component to them it's |
| 2665s | funny |
| 2668s | they all at least have a spell component |
| 2670s | like a triggered |
| 2675s | spell you got to remember the void night |
| 2677s | class as well it's not just the ones |
| 2680s | that sit here it's it's all of these and |
| 2683s | the ones that sit here that's the whole |
| 2685s | class so there's there's a lot of |
| 2687s | non-spell abilities in the in |
| 2695s | there but even even the ones that are |
| 2697s | just in this Row for the void they're |
| 2698s | not all |
| 2703s | spells uh thoughts on the brightness of |
| 2707s | the highlighted node SL item skills Etc |
| 2710s | after |
| 2712s | searching it is currently rather |
| 2714s | difficult to see the highlights um yeah |
| 2716s | I think they're great um if you don't |
| 2718s | and would like to see them possibly |
| 2719s | changed please leave uh suggestion |
| 2724s | feedback all those great things on the |
| 2726s | forms and |
| 2730s | stuff maybe maybe other people feel the |
| 2732s | same way and there'll be a discussion |
| 2734s | that |
| 2735s | starts um I don't |
| 2741s | know cuz it does more than just |
| 2743s | highlight the ones that exist there it |
| 2744s | also um Fades out the ones that don't |
| 2746s | fit like um |
| 2750s | crit not even |
| 2752s | crit um spell spell oh yeah there's some |
| 2755s | spell stuff there |
| 2757s | so yeah oh it doesn't fade them anymore |
| 2759s | it used to fade them |
| 2760s | interesting still I think it makes it |
| 2763s | pretty obvious which ones they |
| 2765s | are the motion really helps a |
| 2778s | lot we probably took the the dimming out |
| 2781s | of the other ones when we added the |
| 2782s | motion |
| 2784s | in would be my guest |
| 2799s | oh I have to L like a split second too |
| 2802s | long oh |
| 2805s | hello fancy meeting you here in my |
| 2808s | purple |
| 2815s | stew |
| 2818s | all right we just going to we we good to |
| 2821s | just Hammer this out like this |
| 2838s | huh nice ex sanguinous love to see it |
| 2843s | what a great item this is one of our |
| 2845s | very first qu uniques |
| 2852s | ever I mean on a rogue base that's |
| 2854s | actually a sweet |
| 2856s | item yeah there's those there's that |
| 2859s | like that single exalted aics item again |
| 2863s | cool oh it's a lot of int I am not a man |
| 2867s | of many |
| 2868s | pockets I'm not a man of many |
| 2871s | buckets so |
| 2873s | good what we even wearing |
| 2877s | some nice armor right there I don't know |
| 2879s | how we're going to do better than that |
| 2880s | plus three to Fireball that's |
| 2882s | neat I want to take those just to have |
| 2885s | the uh the plus three on the |
| 2889s | skill for some potential Shenanigans |
| 2892s | down the road let's just load up this |
| 2895s | bad |
| 2899s | boy did we get a |
| 2902s | [Music] |
| 2904s | no crumble Grumble |
| 2908s | Grumble |
| 2920s | shards all right any chance by chance |
| 2923s | any new uh idea of when Falconer will be |
| 2926s | released yes February |
| 2931s | 21st hi will there |
| 2935s | be |
| 2936s | will be ways to earn the passive we get |
| 2939s | from the campaign |
| 2941s | elsewhere uh something that keeps me |
| 2943s | from rolling all the time is redoing the |
| 2945s | story each time to get all the passives |
| 2947s | we don't really have any plans at the |
| 2948s | moment of uh changing where those quests |
| 2951s | rewards come |
| 2958s | from yeah I said that like there was G |
| 2960s | to be a follow-up statement there |
| 2961s | there's no followup statement then it's |
| 2962s | it just no um I guess if if you if you'd |
| 2966s | like to suggest that to be considered my |
| 2968s | advice would be to go to our forums and |
| 2970s | leave a suggestion |
| 2974s | there I know I say that a lot I just I I |
| 2977s | really don't write anything down from |
| 2979s | streams um I'm usually a little |
| 2989s | busy so glad to catch this live nice to |
| 2993s | meet everyone a question uh when it |
| 2995s | comes to boss |
| 2997s | design uh while there are T4 B dungeon |
| 2999s | bosses high level corruption bosses are |
| 3002s | there any other avenues that the team is |
| 3003s | looking for to explore dungeon |
| 3007s | explore for endgame boss content um yes |
| 3010s | absolutely um it won't be ready in time |
| 3013s | for 1.0 but having a pinnacle boss is |
| 3015s | kind of |
| 3017s | the possibly most important missing |
| 3019s | feature of the game right now |
| 3023s | um other than stuff coming in one point |
| 3026s | know uh but yes so we we we definitely |
| 3028s | need to have a a clear like Benchmark |
| 3033s | boss um Pinnacle boss something or you |
| 3036s | can say like like Diablo I didn't have |
| 3039s | likeing the original Diablo 2 didn't |
| 3040s | have Diablo at the end it's kind of |
| 3042s | where we are where there's just no like |
| 3044s | this is this is the hardest thing you |
| 3046s | can do like here's the boss you |
| 3052s | know um we definitely need that and it |
| 3055s | is something that we have we've been |
| 3056s | we've been talking about like different |
| 3057s | designs for um how that's going to fit |
| 3061s | into a larger mechanic so instead of it |
| 3062s | just being like a |
| 3065s | um there's there's a there's a door that |
| 3068s | opens at the end of time and if you walk |
| 3070s | through you go fight the final boss of |
| 3072s | the game all right sweet good go have |
| 3074s | fun um you know like that's just the |
| 3076s | most there there there's no like leadup |
| 3078s | event to it we want to have that sort of |
| 3081s | um that that anticipation and |
| 3084s | progression towards unlock talking and |
| 3087s | have it tie into the story line nicely |
| 3088s | and you know all like have it possibly |
| 3090s | tie into other endgame systems um as far |
| 3093s | as like maybe you have to complete |
| 3094s | certain things to unlock it or um |
| 3096s | there's like pieces to unlock the door |
| 3098s | that you need to find that drop randomly |
| 3101s | or you know there's something like |
| 3104s | that there's lots of different things |
| 3106s | the the the the easy example I |
| 3108s | frequently give when this question comes |
| 3109s | up is the um pandemonium event in D2 of |
| 3114s | um finding the organs and or finding the |
| 3116s | keys and fighting the organs and then um |
| 3119s | unlocking chaos |
| 3121s | trst which is a lot different than just |
| 3123s | like walking up to a car and being like |
| 3125s | yo girl I'm ready let's go hop hop in my |
| 3129s | minivan |
| 3131s | um us and the Gang are going to go solve |
| 3134s | a mystery no um we we want to we want to |
| 3137s | have it be a proper event like that and |
| 3140s | um so we are looking at like how we want |
| 3144s | that to come together and |
| 3146s | um have that boss fight be really |
| 3148s | special but yes it is absolutely needed |
| 3151s | and something we are working |
| 3160s | on it's something I've been writing down |
| 3163s | like little notes I've got like a few |
| 3165s | sticky notes on my phone not literal |
| 3167s | sticky notes but like digital ones that |
| 3170s | I uh write down things for different |
| 3172s | categories as I see them so like um |
| 3178s | one of them's a list of challenge ideas |
| 3182s | for a hypothetical Taskmaster style |
| 3185s | situation if anyone's ever seen that |
| 3186s | show um if I ever see something that's |
| 3188s | like oh that would make a sweet |
| 3189s | challenge I always I just write it down |
| 3193s | um |
| 3195s | and a few other things but yes one of |
| 3197s | them is boss |
| 3204s | mechanics |
| 3216s | nice this pill just it just flows that's |
| 3220s | that's the word that's the word it |
| 3225s | flows I I was never given the name of |
| 3227s | the person who it was and I'm sorry I |
| 3228s | never said your name on stream whoever |
| 3230s | it was awesome I really appreciate |
| 3234s | it |
| 3239s | I think we might go back to |
| 3241s | my um my rogue next |
| 3245s | week just just cuz my rogue's terrible |
| 3247s | and I love playing my rogue oh no that's |
| 3250s | me |
| 3252s | dead saw it saw it happening feel it |
| 3256s | happening but that's mean |
| 3263s | indeed any consider consideration to |
| 3265s | make faster for alt characters uh to |
| 3268s | enter endgame like opening and powerered |
| 3270s | monoliths and experience bonus till |
| 3272s | catch up to the main or something um we |
| 3275s | do have plans |
| 3277s | to uh speed up the empowered unlock for |
| 3282s | follow-up characters in a cycle so um I |
| 3287s | don't think that's I don't think that's |
| 3289s | 1.0 plan |
| 3292s | um maybe I don't think so we but we do |
| 3296s | have plans to make it so that your |
| 3297s | empowered empowered monolith unlocks |
| 3300s | faster on Fallout characters so I think |
| 3302s | that's that's usually a pretty frequent |
| 3305s | um uh play player power to content U |
| 3310s | discrepancy happens pretty quickly there |
| 3312s | with empowered monolith because you are |
| 3314s | U because you are forced to unlock them |
| 3316s | on every character you can't you can't |
| 3318s | just jump ahead |
| 3321s | um |
| 3323s | and like like with with with love a |
| 3325s | character you can you can jump ahead |
| 3327s | pretty easily um but getting the |
| 3331s | actual uh empowered unlocked is still a |
| 3334s | hard requirement of the 390 timelines |
| 3336s | that's also thing as well it's if you if |
| 3337s | you are looking to unlock that faster um |
| 3340s | you know get get someone to to warp you |
| 3342s | in the in the monel of Fate to the to |
| 3344s | the level 90 ones because you don't need |
| 3345s | to do all the ones leading up to you |
| 3346s | only need to do the level |
| 3348s | 90s |
| 3350s | the oh it's 85 now yeah yeah the 390s |
| 3353s | are the only ones you actually have to |
| 3354s | do to unlock fed |
| 3369s | [Music] |
| 3375s | owed let's try out Force move I just I |
| 3377s | just remember that we got that added to |
| 3379s | the |
| 3380s | game let's try let's try slapping |
| 3382s | somethingone on Force move oh gosh I'm |
| 3383s | just going to die if I do this y |
| 3394s | uh what was that |
| 3404s | D I just got like a a a notification |
| 3407s | sound for |
| 3412s | something don't know what that was for |
| 3417s | Force move let's bind it to space |
| 3418s | already in use you want replace it what |
| 3420s | is it in use |
| 3430s | for might |
| 3434s | crazy Escape does not close |
| 3444s | that |
| 3450s | does |
| 3451s | it okay nice it doesn't click things |
| 3453s | like this good |
| 3455s | job I don't think I don't think we're |
| 3457s | ready killed us last time we're not |
| 3459s | we're not ready for |
| 3462s | that all right challenge every time you |
| 3464s | die you leak a word from the description |
| 3466s | of your favorite Falcon ability ah |
| 3469s | unfortunately I'm not allowed to do |
| 3473s | that sorry |
| 3480s | Arcane Warriors Arcane Quill of Hope |
| 3483s | sounds so |
| 3485s | like |
| 3487s | backwards Warriors |
| 3491s | Arcane |
| 3494s | F sometimes you just have to ask again |
| 3496s | he'll likely see you when you add him |
| 3498s | yeah yeah that's that's the problem |
| 3502s | because I am |
| 3504s | blind |
| 3518s | I found the original question will we |
| 3520s | ever get extra lives for monolith Echoes |
| 3522s | or dungeons like Path of Exile portals |
| 3525s | um we don't have any specific plans for |
| 3527s | that I do really like how um the the |
| 3531s | inherent pressure that a that the The |
| 3534s | Limited number of port |
| 3535s | puts on |
| 3538s | um map in and out and map live so to |
| 3542s | speak I it is is a really fantastic |
| 3544s | system and the way it works is it it's |
| 3546s | done really well and it it's there's I'm |
| 3549s | I'm not surprised at all that it's been |
| 3552s | so there's been so few changes to that |
| 3556s | system so few major changes anyways to |
| 3558s | that system um from like early on in the |
| 3560s | game like it's kind |
| 3562s | of and and I could be wrong about that |
| 3564s | but it doesn't seem like it's Chang much |
| 3565s | to me um it's it's very solid we don't |
| 3569s | have any specific plans for something |
| 3570s | like |
| 3578s | that I mean you kind of do it's just |
| 3579s | that number is |
| 3583s | one if I'm going to be a jerk about |
| 3589s | it those things hit like a |
| 3594s | truck |
| 3598s | like a |
| 3606s | truck I do think especially it's if like |
| 3609s | I think it's especially important to |
| 3610s | look at the um if we're looking at the |
| 3612s | dungeons or sorry let me rephrase this |
| 3614s | if we're talking about the the whole |
| 3616s | like respawn life thing with the portals |
| 3618s | and and maps and stuff the sort of like |
| 3620s | the comparison there is I think more |
| 3623s | towards dungeons |
| 3626s | um and and personally that comes from |
| 3628s | the standpoint of the the extra mechanic |
| 3630s | that you get um and and learning that |
| 3633s | because there is an actual cost so the |
| 3635s | um like the maps maps have retries |
| 3638s | because |
| 3639s | there's I guess the difference between |
| 3640s | maps in Echoes and why they get retries |
| 3643s | and you don't in Echoes partially is |
| 3645s | because there's there's no cost to um to |
| 3649s | opening up an echo there is there's an |
| 3651s | like sorry there's there's an |
| 3652s | opportunity cost but there's no um |
| 3655s | material |
| 3659s | cost like in Poe if you got say zero |
| 3663s | retries um and you just you open you |
| 3666s | open the map and you immediately left or |
| 3669s | you immediately died in the very first |
| 3670s | mob and you got nothing um it's the |
| 3672s | exact same as taking that map item out |
| 3674s | of your inventory and throwing it on the |
| 3676s | ground and stepping on it doing nothing |
| 3677s | with it um but with last Deo if you do |
| 3681s | the same thing all you've done is wasted |
| 3683s | a few seconds really and and the |
| 3685s | opportunity to get that reward if you |
| 3688s | were |
| 3689s | successful um so because it kind of |
| 3691s | comes at the end and not as like an |
| 3693s | actual item cost that you are uh sinking |
| 3696s | into that like as an investment there's |
| 3698s | nothing to invest there's the word I was |
| 3699s | looking for investment um because |
| 3701s | there's no upfront |
| 3702s | investment it's less important that |
| 3704s | there's extra tries I think um it's not |
| 3707s | to say that there's not a good reason to |
| 3709s | have exercise but just it's it's less of |
| 3711s | a like hey we got to have this type |
| 3713s | fature |
| 3728s | hello how am I today I'm good today |
| 3731s | thank you how are you |
| 3742s | today I feel like the like the second |
| 3745s | last poptart in the |
| 3749s | Box you know like it's delicious and |
| 3752s | there's still stuff left in the tank but |
| 3754s | oh it's getting |
| 3773s | low |
| 3777s | yeah this is the problem with having |
| 3779s | awesome gear it's hard to find |
| 3783s | gear how many active players will |
| 3785s | satisfy you in Le after 1.0 release I |
| 3790s | have |
| 3791s | like I the there's the I I don't know |
| 3794s | the numbers that that are like necessary |
| 3797s | to like break even or the numbers that |
| 3800s | are necessary to like make money or like |
| 3802s | you know you know any any of those |
| 3803s | things I I have no idea about the |
| 3805s | financials of these things |
| 3811s | um I I would love to see all of the |
| 3815s | people having fun you know like let's go |
| 3819s | crank up the numbers awesome |
| 3825s | um so I i' I'd be really excited to see |
| 3829s | a new Peak a new a new player Peak |
| 3832s | personally I I always get excited when I |
| 3834s | see a new player Peak that's cool um I |
| 3836s | try really hard not to look at the |
| 3837s | numbers too often |
| 3840s | um I try I try I try my best I try my |
| 3844s | best to uh to have a real Field of |
| 3846s | Dreams attitude towards it |
| 3852s | um I think it's field dreams never saw |
| 3854s | if they build it they will if you build |
| 3855s | it they will come y y y |
| 3858s | um and and just just you know like |
| 3860s | letting it letting letting the game be |
| 3862s | what the game is um and just you know |
| 3866s | make the best game we can |
| 3872s | make that's those are nice starting |
| 3874s | points for |
| 3876s | boots what boots are we rolling we are |
| 3878s | we are rolling some pretty |
| 3881s | nice I mean if we can find another two |
| 3884s | LP last steps we |
| 3887s | can we we can make another roll with |
| 3889s | that cuz that those |
| 3891s | are those are pretty boots right there |
| 3894s | not to |
| 3897s | what CTIC resistance not |
| 3901s | bad like armor on boots is |
| 3904s | fantastic there's lightning res |
| 3907s | really void res is decent something else |
| 3910s | on boots that's really good though isn't |
| 3912s | there might be a |
| 3917s | prefix let's just go for all the way to |
| 3919s | the top we got lots actually let's try |
| 3922s | let's let's try for The Cheeky seal |
| 3928s | we got it but we nuked it at the same |
| 3937s | time T4 sealed that's that's pretty hot |
| 3939s | you don't see that very |
| 3945s | often chances are low there's there's |
| 3948s | that uh per head his video that that got |
| 3951s | the numbers right on |
| 3953s | that |
| 3957s | lightless and soulfire we kind of want |
| 3960s | temporal sanctum we just got the other |
| 3963s | two I still I still I'm still waiting on |
| 3967s | the uh the key the key exchanger the key |
| 3982s | combiner no |
| 3990s | Oh I thought I was going to go over for |
| 3995s | sure oh so close to |
| 4001s | 96 So |
| 4005s | Close by crafting and killing a rare I |
| 4008s | feel |
| 4010s | inate don't worry I'm uh not playing in |
| 4014s | the the hardest I I got I was given this |
| 4017s | build um and uh for the contest that we |
| 4022s | we did so it's the contest winners build |
| 4024s | um and I I'm pretty I'm putting it in a |
| 4029s | pretty understated area from what it can |
| 4031s | do so it's uh speaks more to how well |
| 4033s | they made their character than how well |
| 4035s | I play it by a |
| 4041s | lot maybe we can bump the corruption up |
| 4043s | on this I think let's do it let's go |
| 4045s | let's go for a little corruption |
| 4048s | bump uh you make one of my best playing |
| 4050s | games right now thank you thanks that |
| 4052s | epic game you did sorry for my English |
| 4054s | your English is fantastic |
| 4059s | friend Mike being pretty immoral looks |
| 4061s | like no teaser stream no I've got I I've |
| 4063s | got one you you gave it what no but |
| 4065s | you're the one that gave okay fine you |
| 4067s | know what just just for that you know |
| 4069s | you're going to taunt me like |
| 4073s | that |
| 4077s | there we go so this is a uh preview of |
| 4082s | uh a scene variance test Sy uh system |
| 4084s | that we're been developing um so it's a |
| 4088s | a system where we can take a scene and |
| 4092s | um basically just I actually don't know |
| 4095s | what it goes into making all these |
| 4096s | differences but from what I understand |
| 4097s | it's a pretty minimal amount of work to |
| 4098s | go to change it like once it's been set |
| 4100s | up properly there's pretty minimal |
| 4102s | minimal amount of work to actually |
| 4103s | change it from |
| 4104s | uh one of these to another one of these |
| 4107s | and um we can so we can get some pretty |
| 4108s | dramatically different looking scenes |
| 4110s | out of similar |
| 4113s | um like layouts and um like the the bulk |
| 4118s | of the work you can get some pretty |
| 4119s | different feels out of |
| 4122s | it yeah we've been we've been working on |
| 4126s | a lot of the tools for like level design |
| 4129s | and tools for uh environmental design |
| 4132s | and things like that to to to give them |
| 4134s | the ability to make more cool stuff and |
| 4137s | here's a little preview on |
| 4140s | uh what's been coming out |
| 4151s | recently yeah it's such it's it's it's |
| 4154s | so funny because like none of the pieces |
| 4156s | in the world are changing it's just the |
| 4158s | like um the lighting and you know like |
| 4162s | environmental effects that are happening |
| 4163s | and yeah |
| 4164s | I I think it's I think it's so cool how |
| 4166s | how Stark of a difference they can get |
| 4168s | from |
| 4169s | just all these all these other like |
| 4171s | special effects changes and lighting |
| 4174s | changes lighting lighting is one of |
| 4176s | those things I've tried I've watched so |
| 4178s | many tutorials and um done like little |
| 4182s | lighting test projects and um you know |
| 4186s | trying to set up lighting and |
| 4187s | post-processing nicely in different |
| 4189s | situations and learning exactly the |
| 4190s | details on how that works and like every |
| 4192s | time I get um I get near the end of it |
| 4195s | and I'm just like ah okay well I can do |
| 4198s | it in that one very specific situation |
| 4200s | but I'm not good enough to like look at |
| 4202s | a situation and say hey what could this |
| 4206s | use in those departments to make them |
| 4207s | look better and feel better and play |
| 4208s | better all sort of stuff it's the people |
| 4211s | that do that props you're |
| 4217s | awesome let's keep going let's have some |
| 4220s | fun there a reup on the info on the |
| 4223s | stream if you have any questions please |
| 4224s | feel free to ask them put at last game |
| 4226s | in the question and I'll be happy to |
| 4227s | answer it as always we stream for |
| 4229s | charity boom we're doing Food Bank stuff |
| 4231s | today all month long |
| 4234s | um I'm playing a build from a contest |
| 4237s | winner |
| 4238s | recently but I'm loving on our brand new |
| 4242s | class The Room |
| 4243s | Master I called the character contest |
| 4247s | winner or someone else yes the person |
| 4250s | games be called it that |
| 4253s | right |
| 4255s | yeah |
| 4257s | mod yes yes all right I know the focus |
| 4261s | is on 1.0 at the moment but any talks on |
| 4265s | Xbox um yes and no um so we're not doing |
| 4268s | expansions the way uh you you uh |
| 4271s | historically would assume expansions |
| 4273s | would be for games in general So like um |
| 4276s | if we're going to look at like World of |
| 4277s | Warcraft as an example for like typical |
| 4279s | expansions we're not doing that um where |
| 4282s | they say all right uh uh here's here's a |
| 4285s | bunch of new content awesome new stuff |
| 4288s | um if you everyone who's bought the |
| 4290s | expansion can play together and it's |
| 4292s | super awesome um and like that system |
| 4295s | works fantastic for a lot of games um |
| 4298s | but we are we're we're looking at more |
| 4300s | of a Poe style expansion process where |
| 4304s | we more of a live service |
| 4306s | model style um oh for where |
| 4312s | we every everyone like there's no |
| 4315s | there's no there's no box to buy for the |
| 4317s | next |
| 4318s | expansion um it's just like here's |
| 4321s | here's a huge patch with a bunch of |
| 4322s | stuff and there's cool there's new |
| 4324s | activities there's new items there's new |
| 4326s | skills maybe there's new Mastery class |
| 4329s | way off but um well one point0 there |
| 4332s | will be and uh like all new cool stuff |
| 4335s | to do here's like maybe there's new |
| 4336s | Cosmetics that show up maybe there's new |
| 4338s | like activities to do new other cool fun |
| 4340s | stuff you know various different things |
| 4342s | um ladder reset |
| 4344s | uh all the sort of stuff and like here's |
| 4346s | your expansion um but everyone can |
| 4350s | access it you don't have to it's if if |
| 4352s | if Timmy spends $1,000 on MTX and Johnny |
| 4355s | spends $ zero on MTX they both still can |
| 4357s | play all the same content together |
| 4359s | because they both bought ding the base |
| 4364s | game so yeah we are we we' we've got the |
| 4368s | first um I know the first like 1.0 uh |
| 4372s | 1.1 the cont for 1.1 is planned um |
| 4376s | there's already people working on it in |
| 4378s | a in a few departments so there's like |
| 4380s | we've we've managed to get ahead in a |
| 4382s | couple |
| 4383s | departments |
| 4386s | um so there's there's now people working |
| 4388s | on 1.1 content for certain things that |
| 4391s | will allow us to um you know get that |
| 4394s | stuff out the door faster and and this |
| 4395s | is something that I know Po's talked |
| 4397s | about a lot about and how they do their |
| 4398s | development where they um like their for |
| 4402s | example their art department will say |
| 4404s | okay we're going to make a uh like a |
| 4406s | whole bunch of like a a big patch almost |
| 4409s | expansion worth of stuff in this style |
| 4412s | and we're going to like make characters |
| 4413s | and make uh models and animation and VFX |
| 4416s | and you know all the sorts of things and |
| 4417s | and sort of like put them on the shelf |
| 4419s | and say hey when we need them they're |
| 4420s | here um and so we're not exactly doing |
| 4423s | that sort of thing exactly but um we are |
| 4425s | trying to get ahead a little bit for |
| 4427s | specific plans we have on upcoming |
| 4429s | content so that we can um you know get |
| 4432s | that out faster get that out smoother |
| 4433s | have more time for testing um we've |
| 4436s | we've been working very much uh you know |
| 4439s | last second everything everything coming |
| 4441s | up at the very last moment very very |
| 4443s | much uh living up to our |
| 4446s | name and um I mean it's been it's been a |
| 4449s | wild ride and great and everything but |
| 4452s | uh and and we've been I think producing |
| 4454s | some great content I think we'll make |
| 4456s | even better content if we're able to uh |
| 4458s | get ahead of things a little |
| 4462s | bit |
| 4464s | all right do you think you'll be doing |
| 4466s | anything like a holiday event this |
| 4468s | winter within the game maybe a transmog |
| 4470s | or pet uh no not this year um this year |
| 4474s | we are a little too heavily focused on |
| 4476s | 1.0 and getting that out the door that |
| 4478s | we don't really have time for anything |
| 4479s | that's not completely |
| 4481s | necessary um so it'll |
| 4485s | be uh there won't be any big holiday |
| 4487s | event this year in last Epoch |
| 4489s | unfortunately but that is the style of |
| 4491s | thing that I know a lot of us have um um |
| 4494s | shown a lot of interest in in doing it's |
| 4496s | and it's it's really fun to be able to |
| 4497s | say like uh to to make temporary events |
| 4501s | that are possibly a little less strict |
| 4505s | on the |
| 4509s | um uh the like World building being |
| 4512s | adhered to 100% So like |
| 4516s | um it's it's it's a lot harder to |
| 4519s | justify a Santa hat MTX in July than it |
| 4522s | is in December you know |
| 4525s | know not suggesting that we're going to |
| 4527s | add a Santa hat at all to the game but |
| 4529s | just um you don't necessarily need to be |
| 4531s | quite as perfect with um with the style |
| 4535s | of things that you you feel comfortable |
| 4537s | adding when you've got like a an event |
| 4539s | to associate it with like a holiday |
| 4544s | event oh my that |
| 4552s | ke |
| 4556s | oh yeah we got our passive point oh |
| 4558s | should we just put up here we should put |
| 4559s | up here right oh I got a four that gets |
| 4561s | that that's probably what we're looking |
| 4562s | for |
| 4564s | there plus one spell |
| 4566s | damage cannot hurt plus one spell damage |
| 4569s | is so |
| 4576s | good I got an interesting question um |
| 4580s | about I think it was on the on the our |
| 4582s | Discord um about why we use so the |
| 4586s | amount you may notice that the |
| 4589s | corruption is this going to stay yeah |
| 4591s | dang it the corruption that we have can |
| 4593s | I do this haha nailed it uh the |
| 4597s | corruption that we grant for |
| 4601s | um uh |
| 4603s | completing one of these Echoes off off |
| 4605s | the web to reset |
| 4607s | it is based on the uh on the on the |
| 4611s | distance from that Echo to the center |
| 4615s | um and and you may notice that things |
| 4617s | are all the Echoes are laid out on rings |
| 4621s | that come out from the center basically |
| 4624s | um and the distance |
| 4628s | here is what matters for how much |
| 4631s | corruption it actually gives you and and |
| 4634s | anything that scales off of the like how |
| 4636s | far into the the E into the timeline you |
| 4638s | are all all is is distance to Center not |
| 4641s | number of steps to Center uh so we don't |
| 4644s | we don't count like one two three four |
| 4646s | five along this path to see how long it |
| 4647s | took to get there we look at just the |
| 4649s | sheer distance in straight line which is |
| 4651s | why both of these two have the exact |
| 4653s | same |
| 4654s | stats um |
| 4657s | and uh because there's there's something |
| 4659s | that there's something interesting that |
| 4660s | happens in that if you what you could do |
| 4662s | is you could take a very long and |
| 4664s | Winding Way Out to the side here maybe |
| 4667s | you maybe you convince it to like snake |
| 4669s | around snake around snake around snake |
| 4671s | around snake around and like get to a a |
| 4673s | point down here or something like that |
| 4674s | like let's just say let's just say you |
| 4675s | managed to do that somehow and so you've |
| 4677s | got this this point that's actually |
| 4679s | really close to the |
| 4681s | center |
| 4682s | geographically but number of steps to |
| 4684s | get to the center you got to go all the |
| 4686s | way around the outside it's like 100 |
| 4687s | steps or something to actually get to |
| 4688s | the center |
| 4691s | um without knowing exactly how it's |
| 4694s | calculated it's it's kind of impossible |
| 4695s | to to make sense of hey why is this |
| 4697s | one's so expensive or so so much stuff |
| 4700s | and one that's maybe uh a same distance |
| 4703s | but like a straight line why is it so |
| 4705s | little and then say you connect back up |
| 4708s | to it so you've come you come all the |
| 4709s | way around the outside and then you then |
| 4711s | you go back to the center and you come |
| 4712s | down and you connect to it does that |
| 4715s | node |
| 4717s | recalculate and if it does recalculate |
| 4720s | how does it recalculate if it's based on |
| 4722s | the number of steps does it go with the |
| 4723s | newest thing does it go with the longest |
| 4725s | thing does it go with the shortest thing |
| 4727s | um and and so it's it's I guess that's |
| 4730s | the the short version of why we do |
| 4734s | geometric distance instead of graph |
| 4751s | distance that was a friendly |
| 4754s | neighborhood ramble brought to you by me |
| 4756s | catching up in understand questions in |
| 4760s | chat distraction |
| 4766s | look at all those look at all those |
| 4767s | those those |
| 4770s | ailments oh my goodness |
| 4774s | me I |
| 4786s | am should we standing |
| 4792s | closer |
| 4795s | Ride the |
| 4796s | Lightning I'm |
| 4801s | dead |
| 4805s | oh the glow I I think I know what's |
| 4808s | happening the glow around your health |
| 4810s | that blue glow based on Ward when you |
| 4812s | die needs to vanish right away I |
| 4815s | think it's not Vanishing fast |
| 4818s | enough I I I don't like that was so much |
| 4821s | damage I don't think there's any way I |
| 4822s | can spec up I mean void and poison was |
| 4825s | what I was doing and my void poisoners |
| 4827s | are the |
| 4828s | weakest so I mean maybe there's |
| 4830s | something there maybe let do a different |
| 4832s | one and get a better role or keep going |
| 4836s | and fight the |
| 4839s | Boss Pro |
| 4843s | strats all right I've been getting some |
| 4846s | koi remarks from some EHD people about |
| 4850s | something coming up for primalist |
| 4852s | Scorpion |
| 4853s | uh any potential light you are free to |
| 4856s | shed on that or n um surprising |
| 4859s | confusion would be my light that I can |
| 4861s | spread on |
| 4867s | that so no sorry got |
| 4870s | nothing as someone who is intimately |
| 4873s | involved with the uh skill development I |
| 4877s | would be surprised if there was a major |
| 4880s | scorpion update in 1.0 even a minor |
| 4882s | scorpion update one point |
| 4884s | now maybe like some bug |
| 4901s | fixes uh you did a fantastic job I'm |
| 4904s | looking forward to warlock warlock be a |
| 4906s | DOT um thank you very much that's |
| 4908s | awesome I can't give you any info on |
| 4910s | what warlock's going to be I'm sorry |
| 4916s | Santa |
| 4918s | confirmed yeah put that Triangle Away uh |
| 4921s | do you have any plans to make the |
| 4922s | Gambler useful again um not in the sense |
| 4925s | you're asking for because it's already |
| 4926s | useful for different scenarios than what |
| 4928s | you're hoping |
| 4930s | for uh right now he provides no real |
| 4932s | gear upgrades or advantages |
| 4934s | while while |
| 4937s | leveling except while leveling I think |
| 4939s | you but yes |
| 4941s | um the the gambler is really a leveling |
| 4943s | tool right |
| 4950s | now what am I doing to set this one up |
| 4953s | because i' I've decided I don't like |
| 4954s | this one as much as the other options |
| 4956s | I've |
| 4958s | got right now Necromancer is very |
| 4960s | squishy uh is it intended or do you plan |
| 4963s | to change this um I mean we want every |
| 4966s | class to roughly have similar |
| 4968s | survivability |
| 4969s | levels |
| 4972s | um and and like sometimes that |
| 4974s | survivability comes |
| 4976s | from non-standard sources so like things |
| 4979s | you can't really represent with |
| 4981s | numbers |
| 4988s | um CU like a lot a lot of times you'll |
| 4991s | like in in like traditional I'm just |
| 4994s | just talking in general here um like |
| 4997s | freezing something while an offensive |
| 5000s | ability really is a defensive action you |
| 5003s | can take um because it stops attacking |
| 5007s | you you know same with stunning and |
| 5008s | fearing and always like hard cc is is |
| 5011s | really a defensive action as much as it |
| 5012s | an offensive action um and so the like |
| 5016s | overall survivability of a of a |
| 5018s | character sometimes is higher than its |
| 5021s | squishiness |
| 5029s | Factor oh give me that |
| 5031s | despair burn two two of them earlier on |
| 5033s | boots that just |
| 5039s | went all |
| 5045s | right what do you think about Weavers |
| 5049s | will items getting experimental |
| 5051s | affixes |
| 5053s | um I I I think that's a neat suggestion |
| 5059s | I don't |
| 5061s | know |
| 5064s | do we try and grab there some good ones |
| 5066s | here ah let's just go for |
| 5071s | it Forward onto the |
| 5080s | breach |
| 5083s | etal all |
| 5086s | right burn to Ash Eternal Flame oh get |
| 5091s | out of there please |
| 5095s | Mike you will be out okay I'm going to |
| 5098s | line this |
| 5099s | up |
| 5104s | perfect |
| 5106s | burn didn't do |
| 5112s | great can I get that to go to five I |
| 5114s | think I can I know the one that you make |
| 5117s | through your Rune bolts can go to |
| 5120s | Five burn to embrace the |
| 5134s | flame you will be snuffed out you will |
| 5138s | be snuffed out Eternal |
| 5143s | Flame I walked right into |
| 5146s | it let's see I get another question to |
| 5148s | answer while I'm doing this |
| 5151s | AME |
| 5157s | are there plans to make the grind to |
| 5160s | empower mon faster and or sh wave yeah |
| 5162s | so what I was talking about earlier um |
| 5164s | we do plan to add a add a method whereby |
| 5168s | you can speed up the process to unlock |
| 5171s | empowered monoliths for secondary |
| 5173s | characters in a shared stash situation |
| 5177s | so like |
| 5180s | um if you if you already have a if you |
| 5182s | have two characters one of them has EMP |
| 5184s | powered monolith |
| 5185s | unlocked um and one that doesn't and |
| 5188s | they share and they both have access to |
| 5189s | the same stash there will be a way to |
| 5191s | use that first one to get that second |
| 5193s | one |
| 5195s | umal unlocking the empowered model |
| 5200s | faster and it's like the most vague way |
| 5203s | I could have put that um but I don't |
| 5205s | have any details I can share with you |
| 5206s | right |
| 5211s | now |
| 5215s | you |
| 5218s | will doing okay right |
| 5222s | now I am a little bit concerned when one |
| 5224s | of them breaks off what's n is |
| 5230s | fine trying to take them all down as f |
| 5232s | as as evenly as possible if can be |
| 5237s | done burn to |
| 5240s | ashes erupt |
| 5243s | for a |
| 5250s | bit little Cascade |
| 5258s | going Embrace |
| 5262s | theame oh that was a closer one than I |
| 5266s | would have liked you will be soul my |
| 5270s | soul |
| 5271s | Burns |
| 5288s | just that moment when you need calling |
| 5291s | all right we got there we are having |
| 5294s | such a tough time |
| 5297s | fighting the the one we're looking for |
| 5301s | here all right all right 55% fail 56 |
| 5305s | oh that's there we |
| 5312s | go I think uh I think Frailty is what |
| 5316s | we're looking at just the one% bump and |
| 5319s | Frailty and we'll we'll take it and |
| 5321s | we'll like |
| 5324s | it hear |
| 5328s | me that's a cool |
| 5331s | amulet |
| 5342s | we did it we did we cranked out and |
| 5346s | power model there that was |
| 5350s | sweet |
| 5352s | uh XP items confirmed no I want to be |
| 5354s | very clear XP items very strictly |
| 5357s | unconfirmed we are not doing XP items |
| 5361s | no |
| 5367s | it's not it's not an attempt to make |
| 5369s | it's uh so just be clear the goal is not |
| 5371s | to make your second and third and fourth |
| 5373s | followup characters um stronger it's to |
| 5376s | give them access to challenging |
| 5379s | content at an appropriate pace so |
| 5382s | assuming that you have um you have |
| 5385s | character that's already like level 90 |
| 5387s | or something that's doing EMP powerered |
| 5388s | monolith and it's doing well and it's |
| 5389s | finding lots of gear and you're finding |
| 5391s | this gear that's maybe not for your |
| 5392s | character character but it's for other |
| 5393s | ones and you're like okay I've got |
| 5394s | enough stuff here with this one |
| 5395s | character to like kit out another one |
| 5398s | and so I kit that one out really early |
| 5401s | and it goes into regular monol and that |
| 5402s | one goes oh this is way too easy and |
| 5405s | you're just like okay well this is kind |
| 5406s | of boring for a few hours while I unlock |
| 5408s | empowered monoliths instead we want to |
| 5410s | have that that process there where |
| 5411s | you've given them a ton of gear um and |
| 5414s | they're able and they're they are you've |
| 5415s | already made them better um and they're |
| 5417s | able to get into those EMP power models |
| 5419s | a little bit |
| 5421s | faster |
| 5424s | oh I got another |
| 5428s | one okay |
| 5432s | okay here we |
| 5436s | go should save this if I |
| 5443s | die |

| 5543s | for you that you can like get adjusted |
| 5544s | to things U but no this is this is not |
| 5546s | the Falcon coming up this is actually |
| 5549s | the uh a new Crow enemy yeah just just |
| 5551s | in |
| 5557s | case moderator |
| 5561s | tag that's the game director if anyone's |
| 5571s | wondering |
| 5573s | let's go hop in you know what I want to |
| 5575s | do I want to do |
| 5577s | a uh light server I just like this one I |
| 5581s | know I'm gonna get my butt kicked I |
| 5582s | don't care I just want to do |
| 5588s | it this is the second Falconer |
| 5591s | skill no no no no no |
| 5596s | no let's upload stuff I'm such a packrat |
| 5600s | with this I'm just like yeah let's just |
| 5601s | keep all why not right it's |
| 5607s | fine oh tier three do we do it yeah |
| 5609s | let's go for |
| 5611s | it be a glutton for punishment it's |
| 5615s | fine feel like there was a question I |
| 5617s | missed let's go back and answer |
| 5621s | them I see what you mean about |
| 5623s | survivability not always being higher |
| 5624s | number but some factors like armor or |
| 5627s | endurance are useful in any situation |
| 5628s | while cc is often useless against bosses |
| 5631s | very true |
| 5634s | um and and we do look to give I guess |
| 5637s | specifically CC may not have been the |
| 5639s | best example uh to put out there so like |
| 5642s | um maybe an example |
| 5645s | for |
| 5647s | um for specifically U minions |
| 5649s | Necromancer minions like you were |
| 5650s | talking about is |
| 5654s | um just get this yeah okay okay yeah I |
| 5656s | I'm here I'm |
| 5658s | good um specifically Necromancer minions |
| 5661s | is is the the number of projectiles that |
| 5664s | hit you um so just like having a meat |
| 5668s | Shield standing in front of you or a |
| 5669s | series of meat Shields standing in front |
| 5671s | of you will reduce the number of random |
| 5673s | errant arrows that just fly into you uh |
| 5677s | and and deal damage which which then |
| 5679s | therefore reduces the amount of damage |
| 5681s | you take overall so like there's there |
| 5682s | are there's lots of secondary things |
| 5684s | that we do we do consider when we're |
| 5687s | talking about um we're talking |
| 5690s | internally about defensive layers and |
| 5692s | like who has access to what defensively |
| 5694s | and all sort of stuff um and we know |
| 5696s | it's not as uh even as a lot of people |
| 5701s | would like and there are certain |
| 5705s | unintuitive uh squishier classes overall |
| 5709s | that |
| 5710s | um you know we are looking at the best |
| 5713s | ways to solve these situations |
| 5720s | still |
| 5728s | just thought i' let you know your beard |
| 5731s | is majestic thank |
| 5733s | you I appreciate |
| 5737s | that I love having my |
| 5744s | beard you know who had a great beard |
| 5747s | beard Ted lasso yeah fantastic |
| 5750s | beard |
| 5753s | it's that really like the the the |
| 5756s | the like tight where where you know the |
| 5760s | like it's that same consistently the |
| 5763s | whole way through mine mine is |
| 5769s | um there's there's there's some there's |
| 5771s | some trickery to make it look like it's |
| 5772s | not patchy in |
| 5780s | parts |
| 5782s | but I've got like right right on like if |
| 5786s | you put your thumb on like the underside |
| 5787s | of your jaw so it's like just right |
| 5791s | there there's like a ball patch in my |
| 5792s | beard just doesn't grow |
| 5799s | there forgot about my |
| 5809s | Ember shed in darkness super tough yeah |
| 5811s | yeah I get it |
| 5815s | okay uh will we be getting a refund to |
| 5818s | all option for Passive points |
| 5823s | yes uh remember to tag last game you a |
| 5826s | question seen by Mike yes please do |
| 5828s | remember to tag me so I see it um I'll |
| 5832s | take a little looky up at what that was |
| 5834s | for I'm sorry I'll repeat my question |
| 5838s | that's okay do you plan uh for some |
| 5840s | tweaks on the mono |
| 5843s | like Deli in Poe for example or some |
| 5846s | idea around am I okay I'm |
| 5849s | not |
| 5851s | um and influences from the bosses or |
| 5854s | something like Random Encounters Etc yes |
| 5857s | so there's lot lots of stuff there I |
| 5859s | don't really want to get into specifics |
| 5860s | about exactly how we're going to do |
| 5862s | things like this um and I don't want to |
| 5864s | I don't like tying answers to things |
| 5866s | like this to specific mechanics in other |
| 5868s | games necessarily um |
| 5872s | just because they're you can sometimes |
| 5874s | be like okay well they're going to add a |
| 5875s | system like this to the game and then |
| 5877s | when it's sort of just like tangentially |
| 5879s | related it's not exactly the same |
| 5880s | because after we half implemented it |
| 5882s | we're like oh gosh we've got to change |
| 5883s | this major thing to make it work in our |
| 5885s | game um sometimes people can be a little |
| 5887s | disappointed for it I don't I don't want |
| 5888s | to set people up for disappointment but |
| 5890s | having said that yes the the types of |
| 5893s | things we are looking at um do include a |
| 5896s | little bit more involved systems and |
| 5898s | also just um you know you know |
| 5900s | unexpected I keep keep using this term |
| 5902s | unexpected content and it's really the I |
| 5904s | think the Crux of it's not a term we set |
| 5906s | out to use but um it's one that I've |
| 5908s | someone said in stream I think I really |
| 5910s | like it now |
| 5912s | um and and just just having things that |
| 5915s | surprise you uh it's something we are |
| 5918s | looking to add into the game and um that |
| 5922s | we don't have enough |
| 5930s | of |
| 5946s | spark charges there we go that's a nice |
| 5948s | one |
| 5954s | actually no the falconer has |
| 5957s | fingers the falconer does have |
| 5960s | fingers |
| 5964s | remember it's still still still uh base |
| 5966s | model is the same as the Rogue |
| 5970s | still oh we dropped down to 97 run |
| 5975s | ruined that would be a cool achievement |
| 5978s | um do do lightless Arbor without ever |
| 5981s | dropping below |
| 5983s | 100 light is that actually called |
| 5987s | illumination basically |
| 5990s | light |
| 5994s | it's another thing I it's another one of |
| 5995s | the notepad that I that I have the |
| 5997s | sticky notes that I lists that I have is |
| 6000s | um cool |
| 6015s | achievements I got learn what that one |
| 6017s | is to start taking |
| 6019s | it I don't pay attention I'm just like |
| 6021s | press the invocation it's going to be |
| 6022s | sweet and it is still |
| 6026s | sweet all right will there be a level |
| 6029s | requirement to join factions or will you |
| 6031s | be able to join them right away |
| 6034s | [Music] |
| 6038s | um the initial |
| 6042s | so I I don't think there's a level |
| 6047s | requirement |
| 6050s | um |
| 6053s | if we are talking single player let's |
| 6055s | just like let's let's ignore the |
| 6056s | multiplayer question for side of the |
| 6058s | question for a |
| 6059s | second um if we're talking single player |
| 6062s | there are |
| 6065s | some |
| 6067s | skers jumped a little bit |
| 6072s | uh single player the first time the the |
| 6075s | way the way you'll unlock your your |
| 6076s | faction access the first time through |
| 6078s | the campaign there will be a specific |
| 6080s | story event at a specific point in the |
| 6081s | campaign um and it'll be uh it'll be a |
| 6085s | quest it'll be part of the main |
| 6085s | storyline quest Quest chain you'll |
| 6089s | um you'll complete the quest and you'll |
| 6092s | gain access to one of the item factions |
| 6094s | well both but you'll pick one |
| 6097s | and |
| 6103s | um back to 100 there we are um SE |
| 6108s | subsequent characters that go through |
| 6110s | will have access to pick a a um a |
| 6113s | faction affiliation for that follow-up |
| 6115s | character earlier on in the campaign you |
| 6116s | won't have to wait all the way till the |
| 6118s | end um and a lot of this has to do with |
| 6120s | the fact that |
| 6123s | um like a a lot of the stuff you're |
| 6126s | accessing on these followup characters |
| 6127s | you'll if if you're circle of Fortune |
| 6128s | you're going to want those circle of |
| 6129s | Fortune drops to kick in as soon as |
| 6130s | possible it's basically what it is |
| 6140s | um |
| 6143s | what |
| 6145s | what no what no but |
| 6150s | oh I don't know how that |
| 6153s | happened or white kicked us out to here |
| 6156s | that's |
| 6158s | weird it's the wrong it's the wrong |
| 6160s | place altogether oh hey person who's |
| 6162s | this secretly a Yeti hello secretly a |
| 6166s | Yeti I have found you not so secret now |
| 6169s | are you Mr Yeti |
| 6172s | I cannot do |
| 6174s | that I'm not even going to try it not |
| 6177s | not even going to try |
| 6180s | it |
| 6184s | uh our time is running our time is |
| 6187s | running short reforming the epoch is the |
| 6191s | only hope we have what am I |
| 6195s | doing the sers they got a really cool |
| 6200s | name let's go let's go fail at sire |
| 6205s | Bastion if I can remember the hotkeys |
| 6207s | for |
| 6222s | things all right will there be a |
| 6224s | wardrobe so you can switch between two |
| 6226s | sets of skills passives items for |
| 6228s | different builds the same character um |
| 6231s | um I'm going to I'm going to answer this |
| 6233s | as a so so generally no uh we don't plan |
| 6236s | on that right now |
| 6238s | um the closest system in a similar game |
| 6241s | that i' referen this to usually is the |
| 6243s | armory in Diablo II whereby you can at |
| 6247s | the Press of a couple buttons switch |
| 6249s | everything wholesale over to another |
| 6253s | character um when you want to uh drop |
| 6257s | your specialization on a on um a skill |
| 6260s | like you want to switch one skill to a |
| 6262s | different as would be part of this um |
| 6265s | requirement there is an experience cost |
| 6267s | after you switch that requires you to |
| 6269s | relevel the skill this system would |
| 6271s | bypass that completely so we'd have to |
| 6273s | strip the respect cost out completely um |
| 6277s | the system does would also respect your |
| 6279s | passives which have a gold cost |
| 6283s | um uh so like this would this would have |
| 6287s | to pay that same gold cost too which is |
| 6289s | you know like there there's all these |
| 6290s | costs are associated with these resps |
| 6291s | though these systems |
| 6294s | would wouldn't be fantastic they |
| 6296s | wouldn't sit |
| 6299s | nice um we're just going to speed |
| 6302s | through this till we get there is that |
| 6304s | just boring I think that's just boring |
| 6305s | let's let's let's go do let's go do a |
| 6310s | mon let's go here and |
| 6313s | doow so uh short answer basically no |
| 6318s | um but |
| 6324s | there might there might be |
| 6325s | something if we ever Implement a uh like |
| 6329s | a planning system whereby you can like |
| 6332s | load in here and maybe it puts like um |
| 6335s | like you've planned out what your |
| 6337s | build's going to be and so you know like |
| 6339s | you know where the points are going to |
| 6340s | go so you be like oh you you level up |
| 6342s | and you don't have to be like okay let |
| 6343s | me go look at my build planner outside |
| 6345s | oh okay yeah it's this one I'm going put |
| 6346s | the points here next so maybe having a |
| 6349s | um like a wardrobe system where it would |
| 6351s | indicate to you what that build load out |
| 6354s | is and you could get to it yourself |
| 6357s | maybe something like that but just a |
| 6359s | oneclick switch all nah |
| 6363s | sorry we do have two points here should |
| 6366s | we put them somewhere I think we should |
| 6367s | let's do |
| 6370s | that |
| 6372s | um where |
| 6378s | though flat armor is so nice |
| 6390s | oh Mana |
| 6392s | efficiency oh does that affect the I |
| 6396s | should have I should |
| 6398s | have I shouldn't have done that I should |
| 6401s | have put it |
| 6402s | in uh I should have put it in nothing |
| 6404s | and checked how much Mana it costs cuz I |
| 6406s | don't if that affects this is how this |
| 6408s | is how we trigger it so it just that |
| 6410s | does not drop much health not much Mana |
| 6412s | anymore I think it |
| 6418s | worked I just could remember if Mana |
| 6420s | efficiency only affected when you |
| 6421s | actually activated it or when it was |
| 6422s | just generally |
| 6428s | happening will we |
| 6430s | have um nodes in the falcon or tree for |
| 6433s | the ballista sorry if you already |
| 6435s | replied uh I can't really talk specifics |
| 6438s | about uh what is or isn't coming to |
| 6440s | Falconer with things like this |
| 6444s | um |
| 6446s | yeah as an aside ballista is um the |
| 6450s | current version of ballista that's |
| 6451s | available in game is um pretty |
| 6454s | underwhelming and the skill tree itself |
| 6456s | needs needs some some love we were we I |
| 6459s | guess we were at a stage in development |
| 6461s | where |
| 6462s | um we were generally putting in a lot |
| 6466s | more uh negatives on on nodes I think |
| 6469s | that was like the peak of our no node |
| 6471s | negatives whereby like every other node |
| 6474s | in that tree has a negative associated |
| 6476s | with it it's brutal um definitely |
| 6479s | learned the lesson there like they are |
| 6481s | useful tools to balance things and |
| 6485s | exceptionally powerful effects um but |
| 6489s | are not to be uh |
| 6492s | overused and like what is going on is |
| 6495s | that three exalted chest piece like back |
| 6498s | back |
| 6499s | back ni |
| 6509s | very |
| 6511s | nice all right from my gaming experience |
| 6514s | the shield in Titan Quest was very well |
| 6516s | put to use it had uh active skill and |
| 6519s | passives like every four seconds your |
| 6521s | normal attack uses your Shield to bash |
| 6522s | enemies in front of you any plans make |
| 6524s | better use of the shield in ell um so |
| 6527s | most of |
| 6528s | our um |
| 6531s | I mean nothing specific that I could say |
| 6534s | we've like sat down at a meeting like we |
| 6535s | really need to focus on our Shield usage |
| 6537s | or something like that |
| 6539s | um we do have like unique items that |
| 6542s | have shields uh like unique Shields that |
| 6545s | have like specific abilities tied to |
| 6547s | them things like that and that that'll |
| 6549s | continue |
| 6553s | um the specific example there is like a |
| 6556s | shield bash ability |
| 6559s | um so we can't really put that in |
| 6562s | necessarily like that immediately but |
| 6564s | yeah I I I I Shields Shields are not an |
| 6569s | unpopular um tool in most players |
| 6572s | repertoire in last Epoch at the moment |
| 6574s | they're pretty popular uh because they |
| 6576s | do provide very good defensive players |
| 6580s | um I think we need we do need more |
| 6583s | shields uh more cool effects so and like |
| 6586s | any other item slot will'll be doing |
| 6589s | that |
| 6593s | oh my |
| 6595s | goodness these Exile Mages are |
| 6610s | strong um so yeah it's yes but nothing |
| 6615s | specific and |
| 6616s | nothing like |
| 6619s | gamechanging |
| 6638s | there's a question do you plan to Boost |
| 6639s | Set items um we plan to restructure how |
| 6644s | set items fit into the overall scheme of |
| 6648s | itemization for endgame character |
| 6650s | characters they currently are not |
| 6652s | fulfilling the role we hope them to uh |
| 6655s | and want to make adjustments to set |
| 6658s | items as a system to get them to |
| 6662s | incorporate better into your endgame |
| 6666s | gearing |
| 6669s | um which is not as simple as hatr of |
| 6673s | numbers |
| 6675s | up um and we think it'll have a much |
| 6678s | more positive overall impact on the game |
| 6681s | how it plays the bouncing and um how |
| 6684s | you're gearing your |
| 6689s | character yes for the most part sets are |
| 6692s | very underplayed right now in last de |
| 6695s | and we do want them to be a major |
| 6696s | component of the gear |
| 6700s | puzzle along with you know like there's |
| 6704s | basically basically every other item |
| 6706s | type apart from Magic and normal uh have |
| 6710s | some place in uh in in a build like when |
| 6713s | you're when you're when you're looking |
| 6715s | at like a build planner and you're |
| 6716s | saying oh what am I going to make in |
| 6718s | this character even rare items have a |
| 6720s | place in that um usually you'll try and |
| 6722s | find exalted versions of them but you'll |
| 6723s | be still happy with a rare if it's um in |
| 6727s | the early to mid game mid-end game |
| 6731s | uh systems that is an empty cup of not |
| 6735s | water it was a full cup of |
| 6739s | water |
| 6741s | now it's just full of |
| 6743s | [Music] |
| 6751s | air oh give me those epic |
| 6760s | shards on top of having Cycles will |
| 6762s | there be a weekly or daily events or |
| 6765s | rotating bosses to possibly face |
| 6769s | um |
| 6772s | we do have some extremely light daily |
| 6778s | changes that happen in the game right |
| 6779s | now um with regards to rewards from |
| 6783s | dungeons um I I think that's probably |
| 6786s | the extent of the um time gated content |
| 6792s | that we're going to be putting in the |
| 6793s | game um at launch anyways and probably |
| 6796s | for a while it probably won't be much if |
| 6798s | anything other than that |
| 6803s | it's one of those things |
| 6804s | that people frequently either |
| 6808s | like enjoy but don't really attach |
| 6812s | specific desires to or really |
| 6817s | hate um so they're tough to |
| 6821s | add with a positive reception |
| 6824s | to |
| 6826s | um doesn't make them impossible and uh I |
| 6830s | think I think there's room for them in |
| 6831s | select situations but it's not something |
| 6834s | we're we're looking to as a primary |
| 6835s | focus for upcoming |
| 6851s | content oh not much time left got any |
| 6854s | questions get them |
| 6858s | in with ravenous void i h i often have |
| 6862s | permanent six stacks of void barrier |
| 6864s | cool do you know if this is a visual bug |
| 6866s | or actual |
| 6867s | bug um I guess is that it has something |
| 6870s | to do with another bug of character |
| 6871s | dropping to low Health uh on end of time |
| 6876s | loading just a guess though I don't |
| 6882s | know uh what's ehg stance on Magic |
| 6886s | finding um if it if you're required to |
| 6890s | to forgo power on your |
| 6894s | character |
| 6896s | um to to select magic findind as an |
| 6899s | option big no no |
| 6903s | um so if you're ever in a situation |
| 6905s | where you're like |
| 6908s | well this pair of gloves gives me 10% |
| 6910s | magic find and this pair of gloves gives |
| 6913s | me 10% damage which one's better M we do |
| 6916s | not do that um the only time you'll see |
| 6920s | magic find in last Epoch is when the |
| 6922s | comparison is to other magic find or |
| 6926s | other |
| 6929s | um non-directly gameplay impacting |
| 6931s | systems so uh we do include um some some |
| 6936s | magic FY systems as part of blessing |
| 6941s | rewards so quick peek of those wish |
| 6945s | still said the amount of experience |
| 6946s | again oh it bothers me um NOP oh this |
| 6950s | one here we go nailed it first try there |
| 6952s | are |
| 6954s | specific um W drop there we go so so |
| 6959s | this um blood Frost and death this |
| 6963s | timeline we've got all the blessings |
| 6965s | discovered here you'll notice that each |
| 6966s | one of them is specifically relating to |
| 6969s | a different type of Niche Magic Blind |
| 6974s | um and they all for the they all |
| 6976s | increase the total drops as well as the |
| 6978s | increase of the drops of that type so |
| 6979s | you're not Trading you're not being like |
| 6980s | okay I get this more dagger drops I'll |
| 6982s | find less swords no you find the exact |
| 6984s | same amount of Swords you'll also find |
| 6985s | more daggers you'll find more items |
| 6987s | overall um so we we intentionally don't |
| 6990s | have any because these are all the |
| 6992s | options that can appear in this timeline |
| 6994s | the um these These are the empowered |
| 6997s | versions of them and so uh you you'll |
| 7000s | never see |
| 7002s | a like so here's oh tell bad example so |
| 7006s | here yeah here this one all of these are |
| 7008s | like specific stat things |
| 7010s | none of these are magic fine |
| 7014s | related and so we don't overlap them |
| 7016s | ever there's the there's the short |
| 7019s | version of how we deal with magic |
| 7030s | find finished all the questions I guess |
| 7032s | I got I got another run I can do let's |
| 7033s | go let's go let's go |
| 7038s | deeper |
| 7040s | enemies have crit |
| 7042s | avoidance no |
| 7051s | problem H get the crit Shrine r at the |
| 7054s | start 100% crit chance but they can |
| 7056s | avoid your |
| 7057s | crits that's funny we're probably |
| 7060s | sitting at like a pretty similar crit |
| 7061s | rate to |
| 7064s | normal just cuz it canceled out let's |
| 7067s | keep going |
| 7068s | charge |
| 7070s | onward once more into the |
| 7076s | breach I do quite like the the triple |
| 7080s | cold on on the cold Rune H big cold |
| 7085s | explosion the blizzard that follows up |
| 7087s | feels |

| 7115s | day um the other day yesterday in a |
| 7118s | meeting |
| 7122s | um it's I find I find it an interesting |
| 7125s | problem to solve um because it is a |
| 7130s | uh it is a build like Thorns is a build |
| 7132s | archetype that some people are just like |
| 7135s | that's that's their go-to in every |
| 7137s | single game we don't really have a good |
| 7139s | way of doing it yet we kind of have some |
| 7141s | like uh some little things you can try |
| 7143s | out but there's not really a good I'm a |
| 7146s | Thorns build option in Epoch yet um and |
| 7150s | I'd still like to see it we don't have |
