107s	hello I'm pretty good
114s	traveler's backpack is MTX it's a
116s	cosmetic item
118s	um you can't buy just it so technically
121s	it's not MTX I think
123s	um but yes
125s	really is the answer you're looking for
130s	effectively
136s	how far is 1.0 away in other words
138s	Falconer win well Falconer will come out
140s	with 1.0 comes out and I don't have a
142s	timeline of 1.0 for you I'm sorry
146s	on streams with new logos I know I know
150s	we do
151s	yeah good point
155s	forgot about that
157s	I need to do I need to do a stream
159s	facelift I think with like uh like when
162s	someone Subs like it's still the generic
164s	one and yeah I I just use like a whole
166s	stream facelift
172s	the stream is more about like
175s	um being able to be here and answer
176s	questions and talk to the community and
178s	that sort of stuff then
180s	I don't know having it look pretty I
183s	guess at least I hope that's what it's
184s	more about
185s	but no I'd love to get some
187s	proper stuff in
191s	I'm just real bad at that
194s	graphic design stuff is not my fortune
200s	can we get a standalone News Post at the
202s	free weekend that we can get to share
203s	with people um maybe I uh there's not
207s	really much to share so the um
210s	like it's it's uh anyone can play
215s	uh
218s	um where is it uh the the it goes to the
221s	end of chapter five
223s	is about it
227s	the models will not be available
231s	I'm pretty sure this is all right
236s	it's sort of a like if you if you're
239s	thinking about trying last Epoch and uh
241s	you wanted an opportunity to give it a
243s	test without actually paying for it uh
246s	now is a good time to just try and see
247s	if you like it or not or it will be a
249s	good time to try it like on the 23rd
257s	all right do you have a pile of rainy
260s	day ideas and what's the least likely
263s	one to happen
267s	um
267s	I don't know if any rainy day ideas
269s	really but I also I'm also wearing the
272s	shirt to go with the build
276s	um anyways I uh
281s	I just looked over and saw the top of it
283s	it reminded me of it like rainy day
285s	ideas I mean there's
287s	there are
290s	some
293s	uh class ideas some some future class
296s	ideas that are like
300s	um
301s	I I don't know for example there's like
302s	there's a class idea there's a master
304s	class idea that's like a a primeless
307s	Mastery class idea for the future that
311s	um probably will never happen because
314s	it's like the third awesome Prime list
318s	extra masterclass idea that we have so
321s	um
322s	and getting up to six masteries total on
325s	a single class is a
329s	um I mean who knows
331s	who knows super long from now but I
332s	doubt that'll ever happen that that many
335s	Mastery classes on a single class it's a
337s	little it's a little much well we'll see
339s	though who knows that far out but yeah
342s	I want to say what it actually is just
344s	in case it does happen
347s	yeah I came anymore emaps that's right
351s	drink lots of water everybody
353s	thank you
355s	I need a haircut I the the my headset
358s	like pushes like a chunk of my hair
360s	forward and just looks awful and I never
361s	know what to do about it
363s	oh what do you think about uh
367s	oh Sonata is set with a Mason shield and
370s	swirl build I think it's pretty strong
372s	stronger than T5 mods oh uh maybe
378s	this is what I'm using
381s	let me see my gear oh we could go make a
383s	a legendary out of this
386s	okay new goal for the stream find an
389s	exalted helmet to make a legendary out
391s	of here on the screen that's like all we
392s	care about
394s	period
404s	how many cow went multiplayer testing
405s	really good uh did you guys uh they're
408s	satisfied with reactions of players yeah
410s	I mean like no matter how well something
413s	goes you're always like I wish you could
414s	have gone a little bit better but but
416s	overall things went really well we got a
418s	lot of great feedback we got a lot of
419s	great data
421s	um
422s	there's going to be improvements coming
424s	down the pipe for uh for 4.9 uh because
427s	of it and we're really happy that we did
428s	the the test when we did
431s	um so
434s	Big Ups
435s	very happy
439s	where's this guy
446s	our decision of uh continuously
451s	doing these streams and taking on
453s	talking to the community hope this game
454s	is a huge success you deserve it thank
456s	you very much I appreciate that I hope
458s	it is too
459s	these shoes are a ton of fun I really
461s	enjoy doing them I'm uh very lucky to be
464s	able to do them and and be able to take
466s	time out of my my usual day to do them
470s	because it says it cuts like I spent two
472s	hours doing this and there's like a half
474s	hour lead up and a half hour
476s	um usually cool down at the end so it's
477s	like it's three hours of my day it's
479s	like
481s	a third of my day
489s	it's a good chunk of time
491s	and there's there's other people that
492s	that come in here too and and help and
494s	provide uh spoilers and stuff like
497s	there's there's all sorts of people that
499s	are doing stuff behind the scenes as
500s	well
507s	so really lucky to be able to do this
508s	which I
510s	which is great
515s	nice
517s	oh this guy's gonna split for some
519s	reason
521s	come on go instantly use the multiplayer
524s	we are back on eight five by the way
528s	I had some problems with my new
529s	microphone so I'm back to my headset
530s	Mike so frustrating
539s	foreign
544s	yeah the the
546s	um the levels in Wolf and totem aren't
550s	super important to get for this build I
552s	don't think
558s	do all Masters for all classes become
560s	available with 1.0 patch yes yeah
562s	warlock Falconer Rune Master will launch
565s	at 1.0 not before
569s	hello stream happy Friday happy Friday
573s	to YouTube
576s	I hope you're
578s	gearing up for a wonderful weekend of
580s	relaxation and fun
590s	going on a hike tomorrow morning pumped
593s	about that
595s	just a little one
599s	I call it a hike because uh
602s	the person going with me is uh
608s	quarter of my size
611s	and for them it's a hike
625s	uh maybe a third my size it's probably
626s	more accurate
633s	foreign
646s	all right does Mike 2.0 also have a
649s	beard uh not yet
653s	they're a little little for that
663s	I just really like the way this ax looks
666s	in game
670s	not not very effective to uh to fight
672s	that way
675s	I'm curious to know so we didn't release
677s	patch notes for the multiplayer test
679s	events that we've done so far and I'm
681s	curious to know if people had
684s	um like surprise changes to skills that
687s	they uh really liked like like anything
689s	that stood out to them of like a build
691s	that you play a lot and there's some big
694s	change that you kind of didn't see
695s	coming
697s	um if anyone has any of those I'd be
699s	really interested to hear about
714s	it's been it's been a long uh a long
716s	week we've been we've got some really
719s	fantastic discussions that happened
722s	um and I'm kind of hoping that we can
723s	share the results of those pretty soon
725s	hopefully
731s	I'm hoping pre
733s	next event
735s	it's the goal getting getting
738s	Communications polished enough to
739s	release is so so tricky
742s	like it takes a long surprisingly long
744s	amount of time
748s	and and once once you've read something
749s	like 80 times
751s	like there's certain certain sentences
754s	that you're like well obviously that
755s	makes sense I know what that is and then
756s	you showed to someone the first time
757s	they're like I have no idea what this
758s	means it's always a funny moment
764s	running over 100 FPS instead of 160. yep
766s	that's that was that's a nice change I
768s	will say it's
770s	um it's always really clear going back
771s	to eight five that you're like oh yeah
774s	the performance impact is pretty huge
775s	isn't it
777s	and it's nice that the visual Fidelity
779s	actually went up with the performance
781s	going up as well so I mean yeah I'm
784s	really happy with that it's it was it
785s	was good I was trying not to like
787s	oversell the performance improvements if
789s	possible
791s	um but we're getting getting very good
792s	feedback on performance improvements in
794s	point nine which is great
805s	the minion changes for necro look really
808s	good best necro class I played in any
810s	RPG wow that's awesome that's that's uh
812s	that's a high bar that's a high bar this
815s	is a lot of great necro classes out
816s	there
817s	um
818s	so that's good thanks
820s	the the I know a lot of people are
821s	really enjoying the ability to when you
824s	transplant bring your minions with you
827s	I saw I saw a few people enjoying that
829s	just really nice it's it's interesting
830s	because that was like a big part of
831s	getting Enigma in Diablo 2 was that
834s	suddenly you could reposition your
835s	minions because there was no other way
837s	to reposition your meetings in D2
839s	and other than re-summing new ones but
845s	that was always the biggest the biggest
846s	thing like like yeah sure teleport's
848s	amazing for just Mobility but like it
850s	was such a huge DPS boost because he
853s	just like repositioned everything to the
854s	Target you're trying to hit
862s	people have been having uh some feedback
864s	to last week's stream questions gears
866s	and Judds in the transcript version
868s	which was nice to see if you haven't
869s	read those already
871s	I'm not going to bring that up right now
873s	but if there are any questions that
875s	stand out I'd be happy to uh
878s	if anyone wants to bring those I mean
880s	maybe I can bring I can pop it up on the
881s	screen
890s	that moment where you're like okay let's
892s	let's try and bring this across my
893s	screen to the other side
897s	but we're just gonna I'm just gonna I'm
898s	just gonna cover my screen for a second
899s	here
905s	oh
906s	oh yeah that's how we do it
912s	and we're back no problem
921s	we've got three screens here that was a
923s	big transcription too I mean it was it
925s	was a big stream I know because Judd was
926s	on that's pretty impressive Andrew
935s	transcribed
940s	some questions there let's get actually
942s	get back into game while doing this you
944s	enraged half Health Bring It On
947s	I'll get into that I'm just gonna read
948s	this one from chat first
950s	I tried meteor when playing in the event
952s	and it seemed to me it took less time to
954s	hit the ground out of the box compared
956s	to when I played meteor two years ago or
958s	something uh am I only imagine this or
960s	was there a change there was a slight
962s	change uh two years ago yeah there was a
964s	change
965s	um in the in the priming time
969s	uh or fall speed depending on how you
970s	want like there's there's a few
971s	different things there's fall speed
972s	which is the speed that the actual
974s	meteor travels at when it's hitting
977s	um I think that went up slightly and
979s	then I'm just making more Punchy but
980s	then I think the prime priming time like
983s	the the where the circle is on the
985s	ground before it actually starts falling
987s	um it sort of like implied that it is
989s	falling at that point but the object
990s	isn't actually in the game yet there's
993s	different terminologies there
996s	um yeah I think that time was also
997s	reduced slightly at base it wasn't I
1000s	don't think there were big changes the
1001s	VFX was also changed
1003s	um which just helps it feel a little
1005s	punchier too so I don't think they're
1006s	very big changes but it's interesting to
1008s	see that it does have a feeling
1009s	difference
1012s	am I taller is the ceiling low both I am
1016s	6'1
1019s	um and yes this is my palm is on the
1023s	ceiling right now
1027s	this is my index finger is touching the
1030s	ceiling because my elbow's almost at 90.
1034s	that's funny
1037s	yeah this is a uh
1040s	um
1042s	I commandeered a chunk of our garage and
1044s	built an office in it
1052s	the rules the rules around that is
1054s	unreal
1057s	I
1058s	had to get so much help and advice from
1060s	people
1073s	uh oh is it a free-for-all coming oh
1076s	well I need a new account or uh need to
1080s	do to have a free try
1082s	um so what it'll be is it'll it'll be
1084s	like any free weekend on Steam so
1087s	um you won't need a new account uh if
1090s	you
1091s	if you own the game it'll just be like
1093s	like normal you'll uh You'll Play no
1096s	problem if you don't own the game you'll
1099s	be able to play like normal no problem I
1100s	don't know the difference really uh
1102s	you'll just it'll be like free to play
1104s	and you'll download it and start playing
1106s	and that's it and then once the
1107s	weekend's over it'll it'll disappear
1109s	from your steam list
1115s	are there any questions in here
1124s	there's okay Andrew or anyone else the
1127s	uh the transcribe from last time in
1129s	questions
1131s	um
1131s	it's kind of long I don't want to read
1133s	it I I've been going through this but uh
1136s	I don't remember the specific questions
1137s	that are in here
1139s	if anyone could pull a specific question
1141s	that they want to know from that or saw
1143s	something that they'd like to have an
1144s	answer to I'd be happy to answer it
1146s	um but I just need someone to
1148s	paraphrase and bring it into twitch chat
1151s	for me sorry
1158s	are you able to give your thought
1160s	process for the Mechanics for Cycles
1163s	yeah I mean I can give you a little
1165s	um
1166s	like a little bit of insight there uh we
1169s	I don't have any specifics to share
1170s	right now the first the first 1.0 launch
1173s	will be the start of the first cycle so
1175s	to speak um but there's not gonna be
1177s	like a cycle specific mechanic
1179s	because it's just the first one like you
1181s	know what I mean um I don't know how to
1182s	describe that it'll be the things that
1184s	come with 1.0 I guess the cycle
1185s	mechanics will be warlock falcon or Rune
1188s	master
1189s	um if you want to look at it that way
1190s	but the
1192s	um
1193s	after that going forward
1196s	um psycho mechanics I think will be
1199s	initially
1200s	the first few that'll happen will be
1203s	similar to 1.0 in the sense that they
1204s	are
1206s	um features that maybe we wanted to get
1208s	in for 1.0 but I had to cut due to time
1212s	um maybe they are things that we just
1214s	knew we wanted to add into the game very
1217s	quickly after 1.0 and we always knew we
1219s	weren't going to put them in 1.0 or
1221s	something
1222s	um it's going to be a lot of things of I
1224s	think the the first few Cycles will feel
1226s	a little bit like expansion packs in the
1229s	sense of like there there's no chance of
1234s	um
1235s	I mean our Cycles are a little bit
1236s	different than Poe leagues in the sense
1238s	that we're
1239s	um like standard will have them or right
1241s	right now the plan is that standard will
1243s	have them right away
1246s	um so we're not maintaining two
1247s	different environments and
1251s	um
1254s	it'll be
1257s	they'll it'll be a lot of like fairly
1259s	large features I think at the start so
1261s	like
1262s	um possible there'll be a lot of
1264s	different things we can do so one thing
1265s	we've talked about a lot is shuffling
1267s	this a little bit on changing the order
1268s	that these are in changing where rewards
1271s	are in each one of these
1272s	um things things like that things that
1274s	you can do quick and easy and then also
1276s	just adding a new mechanics so maybe
1277s	adding in the new dungeon
1280s	um adding in a new Mastery class adding
1282s	in a new
1284s	um game mode mechanic adding in like
1287s	some some of the game modes that we've
1288s	talked about in the past and we've been
1290s	like kind of quiet about in the current
1292s	uh times maybe adding in some of those
1294s	so it'll be a lot of like
1297s	um fleshing out mechanics expanding
1300s	mechanics like maybe maybe we add a new
1302s	mechanic that can randomly spawn in the
1304s	monolith or something and these are
1305s	hypothetical things of like
1310s	um I don't want to these are not lists
1312s	of things that are gonna happen or
1313s	anything like that but
1314s	um types of things that might happen
1318s	rather and um
1323s	it's kind of a broad question I don't
1325s	know if you want something more specific
1326s	than that I can't really give anything
1327s	much more specific than that I don't
1329s	think
1332s	these guys have Buffs
1335s	chance to dodge heads uh oh that's okay
1338s	we got so many hits it don't matter
1347s	cool stuff there
1351s	garage office person myself really hot
1353s	during Australian summer well
1358s	it does not get that hot here which is
1359s	nice
1360s	I bought like a big big fan just sitting
1363s	off the side that I can turn on if it
1364s	does get too hot but like too hot for me
1367s	is like 25 and I'm struggling 25c and
1370s	I'm struggling
1372s	which everyone who lives in a hot
1374s	climate is just like yeah you wuss
1378s	I can't handle the cold either though so
1379s	like it gets below zero C and I'm
1381s	freaking out
1387s	it's very it's very it's very tight
1389s	range of temperatures that I'm okay with
1394s	slow on him oh good thing we got leap
1403s	is there talk about the default coloring
1405s	of items so many players often ask what
1408s	the difference between blue and yellow
1409s	items are and why they should pick up
1411s	blue ones
1413s	um but just adding a two affix blue
1416s	turns uh just adding a two affix or just
1420s	adding an affix to Blue turns it yellow
1423s	I think is what you're looking for there
1424s	are other plans or where or were there
1428s	plans to make blue and yellow just one
1429s	color so uh story time originally
1433s	um
1434s	the items that are encapsulated in blue
1437s	and yellow now actually had six colors
1442s	Jenna sounds ridiculous
1445s	um but there were there were six colors
1447s	ranging from Blue to yellow and it was
1450s	like blue kind of a Bluey green
1455s	kind of a greeny green the green yellow
1459s	yellow like it was it was sort of it was
1461s	a spectrum of colors
1465s	um and it was because there were six
1467s	affixes on items at that point
1469s	um and so there were six years so it was
1471s	a slightly different color for each
1473s	number of affixes on the item
1477s	um
1478s	and and we're this is we're talking four
1480s	years ago at this point maybe more
1482s	um and
1484s	uh we we moved to four affixes and we
1488s	still had that coloring system I think
1491s	to be wrong
1494s	uh it just like wasn't quite
1497s	we're having this exact problem actually
1499s	where people are like okay well what
1500s	what does what does it mean
1502s	um it's hard to recognize which one's
1504s	which on the ground
1508s	um
1511s	and I think the most players quickly
1515s	recognize and it goes back to a little
1517s	bit of like D2 coloring I guess a little
1519s	bit so
1521s	um D2 coloring was blue or magic items
1523s	there's fewer affixes the big difference
1525s	there is that blue items in D2 the roles
1527s	on the affixes can actually be higher so
1529s	it actually does mean something a little
1531s	bit of Distinction there
1534s	um
1536s	and uh and yellow was rare which means
1538s	more affixes
1539s	so that was kind of the distinction of
1541s	just being able to quickly identify how
1543s	many roughly affixes are on the item is
1545s	why there's the color distinction
1546s	between blue and yellow
1549s	it's possible that it could combine we
1551s	have no uh intention to or plans to at
1554s	this point
1560s	squirrel's doing work
1564s	not questions from players I provided
1567s	the questions you and Judd asked during
1568s	the stream oh at the end transcribed and
1572s	people have been providing their answers
1573s	to them in the comments to that thread
1575s	ah yes okay yes I was reading those
1578s	answers so I was kind of confused about
1580s	the questions that uh were being posed
1584s	but yes thank you I did see those when
1586s	is we're all coming to 1.0
1588s	hello there hello there
1593s	hello there
1595s	is it better
1596s	uh congratulations game thank you acid
1599s	Fletch we ain't playing no Rogue
1602s	oh goodness little two-hander
1610s	house 2023 being for you in the game so
1612s	far pretty good
1613s	busy very busy
1616s	um we got back from
1618s	we have a little Studio break between
1620s	Christmas and New Year's
1622s	and we got back from that and it was
1624s	full steam ahead hit the ground running
1626s	let's go
1628s	all hands on deck
1630s	get get multiplayer out it's been great
1633s	my favorite color
1641s	you heard that eh whoops
1644s	uh one of the things that has stood out
1646s	for me so far in Le is seeing how often
1648s	each you guys speak up in chat and game
1651s	is it something you hope you can
1652s	continue uh into 0.9 and Beyond I mean
1655s	hopefully yeah
1656s	um
1659s	I think a lot of that is just the fact
1661s	that we're uh when when we're testing we
1664s	have access to chat so like you you're
1667s	like oh let's see if how that that new
1669s	fireball VFX looks
1671s	um and you uh you hop into game for a
1673s	second to just just test it it connects
1675s	to chat and so you see Chad for a second
1678s	um and sometimes you just you just say
1679s	something in response to something
1680s	someone said
1682s	um
1684s	and then on top of that as well there's
1686s	a lot of people that are
1688s	that aren't like hanging out in there
1690s	and trying to be in communicative and
1692s	helpful and lots of stuff and and there
1693s	are people that are um
1696s	uh who who do that as well just like
1701s	hang out in
1703s	in game and uh
1706s	moderators
1707s	so you may be seeing a lot of them too
1711s	I think we have an actual like proper
1713s	tag in the new chat system
1715s	um for you she's she
1717s	um chat texts like
1720s	different uh so it looks physically
1721s	different in chat
1725s	yeah I was I was hanging out last night
1726s	in chat
1728s	um
1730s	talking to people
1732s	I was working on my first infographic
1734s	ever
1745s	cool story and thanks yeah just
1747s	wondering during most gameplay in chat
1749s	uh a lot of newer players kept asking
1751s	yeah
1753s	uh out of the classes that haven't been
1755s	released which one is your favorite I
1757s	mean that's really tough to say because
1758s	um we none of them are internally
1760s	playable yet so uh
1763s	I I I
1764s	from a gameplay standpoint I can't
1766s	answer that question because none of
1767s	them exist yet
1769s	um from uh thematics design theoretical
1773s	standpoint uh I'm a sucker for the Rogue
1776s	uh Falconer is like what I'm what I'm
1779s	looking forward to the most of those
1781s	three
1782s	um but it's a super tight race for me
1786s	um
1787s	there was some changes that happened to
1788s	warlock in the design process that
1790s	um I was I was excited for warlock
1792s	before and now I'm excited for warlock
1795s	um every Mass has always been
1796s	interesting to me so I I it's it's hard
1798s	to answer
1800s	um but Falconer is the front runner for
1802s	me
1805s	uh uh is there an estimate time when the
1808s	game will officially release the 1.0
1810s	packs we have a goal internally that
1811s	we're working towards but I'm not going
1813s	to tell you what that is I'm sorry
1820s	I guess the only thing I can say is that
1822s	we are planning on returning to a more
1824s	regular Cadence for uh major patches so
1828s	if you look at before eight five so if
1831s	you look at the like eight three eight
1833s	four eight five releases and how much
1834s	time was in between those uh that's the
1837s	sort of rough General time we're aiming
1840s	for in between patches going forward uh
1843s	leading up to and Beyond 1.0 and that's
1845s	our goal
1848s	foreign
1850s	like we're already planning what
1852s	content's gonna go in the next patch
1854s	after point nine
1860s	yeah I can give them increased cooldown
1862s	recovery speed why not nothing bad ever
1866s	happened by doing that
1869s	just gonna be a bunch of oh gosh it's
1871s	the arena
1872s	it's in the name you can see it's gonna
1874s	be an arena beforehand the cooldown
1876s	recovery might be an issue in the arena
1878s	we'll see get a lot of
1881s	people casting those meteors on me and
1883s	I'll be hoop heard
1899s	there's still that slow chance
1906s	oh yeah archers Archer's always so
1909s	deadly it's just like there's so many
1911s	hits so fast and it's
1914s	like it's the first time you walk into
1916s	ancient tunnels in in D2 and in hell and
1918s	you're uh
1921s	there's just so many archers
1930s	just can't can't stay still
1939s	come on Hell potion use it oh I guess
1941s	I'm full
1942s	nope
1950s	can you tell us what the Warlock is
1952s	meant to be doing the description game
1953s	is very vague the description of the
1955s	game is very old do not read the
1956s	description game anymore it is outdated
1958s	and no longer accurate
1961s	um I I can't really give specific
1963s	examples of mechanics that it will be
1965s	using I can give you the same and this
1968s	is not new information sorry
1970s	um the the Thematic Touchstone that I
1973s	generally refer to in this question get
1974s	asked gets asked is uh is Jafar
1978s	from Aladdin as as a thematic touchdown
1984s	so it's it's more of a
1988s	um
1989s	like like a wizard that hasn't been
1991s	afraid to explore the darker side of
1995s	things
1997s	for
2000s	not necessarily evil purposes
2004s	um
2005s	because they act like it's not evil
2007s	but uh they're not not afraid to to to
2010s	explore the darker side
2022s	pitch us the game why should we play
2024s	last Epoch and not something else I I
2027s	mean I have such a hard time telling
2029s	people not to play other games because I
2031s	love so many other games especially so
2034s	many other similar games
2036s	um what makes us unique what makes us
2038s	special what makes us interesting
2040s	um I think we have a really fantastic
2042s	skill system I think this is
2045s	um if I'm gonna if I'm gonna pick one
2048s	thing to like
2049s	put in people's face as a selling point
2051s	is every single skill in the game has a
2057s	skill tree that is unique to that skill
2060s	tree
2063s	um I I think this is one of the most
2064s	exciting things and interesting things
2066s	when you when you come and come into it
2068s	um and it's a lot of it's almost like a
2070s	realization of some of the early
2072s	versions of the D3 Rune system that
2075s	you'd see
2076s	um where it seemed a lot like I don't
2079s	know to me just seemed a lot more
2080s	transformative when they first started
2081s	pitching it
2083s	um and it did end up really enjoying it
2085s	a lot in the end
2087s	um but this is kind of what I was
2088s	dreaming about when I was first hearing
2090s	about it I think and
2093s	um like like you just get so many
2095s	options in here and so many ways to to
2097s	customize your skills
2098s	um
2100s	this is like our past system is pretty
2102s	great it's a uh it's it's very
2105s	straightforward
2107s	um in a very good way so like I say that
2108s	as a positive thing where you are
2111s	um most people who've played
2114s	um role-playing fantasy role-playing
2116s	video games uh can can look at our
2118s	passive system and immediately
2121s	understand what's going on the basics of
2123s	it are abundantly clear but then when
2125s	you dive a little deeper there's some
2126s	really interesting stuff going on and
2128s	you start getting into this
2129s	multi-classing ability like I'm A Beast
2130s	Master but I'm able to touch into Druid
2133s	um and and get some of these earlier
2135s	nodes and being able to decide what you
2137s	want based on that and like having these
2139s	passive bonuses that are for picking the
2141s	Mastery and then which which skills get
2143s	unlocked based on that and
2145s	um
2146s	you know I think there's I think there's
2147s	a lot of opportunity for a really great
2150s	uh build crafting and character
2152s	customization options in in last Epoch I
2154s	think that's where uh that's one of the
2156s	one of the big strengths from a
2158s	mechanics sideway and I'm very mechanics
2160s	heavy because that's what I do
2162s	um I think we also have a great
2163s	storyline and especially when it comes
2166s	to
2168s	um
2168s	like I don't want to knock in the games
2170s	of the genre because I do really like a
2172s	lot of them as well
2173s	um but I do think that it's it's often a
2175s	a less paid attention to element of
2179s	games like this of ampgs
2181s	um I think I think there's a lot of
2182s	great stuff going on in the storyline
2184s	there's lots of little Easter eggs
2185s	around which is awesome
2187s	um the the the tagline or like early
2190s	pitch that we'd give a lot of people at
2192s	like conventions and stuff and we're
2194s	like
2195s	um like if if like Diablo 2 and uh Crown
2200s	trigger had a baby this is what we're
2201s	kind of kind of going for initially
2204s	um there's there's also if you have time
2207s	and you want to go look for it there's
2208s	some there's some little uh little
2210s	things hidden around in the in the void
2214s	um in the rundier map so there's there's
2216s	some there's some cool stuff uh there's
2218s	some very specific references in here uh
2221s	that I won't I won't spoil if you want
2222s	to go look for them I think it's a lot
2223s	of fun
2225s	and I like I think we're we're growing
2228s	and and it's exciting to get in into and
2231s	be involved in that process we have a
2233s	lot of
2235s	um a lot of community engagement and a
2237s	lot of uh discussions with our community
2238s	and I think there's I think a lot of
2240s	people who
2241s	um have been in our community for a
2243s	while and have been have been hanging
2244s	out probably feel a sense of ownership a
2247s	little bit with with the game because
2249s	there's so much uh interaction which I
2252s	think is really great
2265s	okay I remember the question I was
2267s	asking answering
2275s	pitches the game oh yeah oh yeah I think
2277s	it was pretty good
2278s	I kind of went off off uh lost the
2281s	thread a little bit there but you know
2288s	it's been a while since I've had to go
2289s	to a convention or pitch the game to uh
2291s	publisher
2307s	uh are there any cool ideas you've had
2310s	which are completely unachievable with
2312s	the technology available to us today uh
2315s	absolutely yes
2317s	um
2319s	yeah there's there's definitely been
2321s	ideas that have been pitched
2323s	um so sometimes they're like
2326s	well maybe maybe we can figure out how
2327s	to do that one day and some I'm like
2329s	hesitant to
2331s	to mention things that we've tried to do
2333s	and it failed sometimes
2335s	um nothing's coming to mind right now
2337s	but like I know for sure that we've been
2339s	in game design meetings and someone and
2341s	someone has said hey wouldn't it be cool
2343s	if you could do this and everyone's like
2344s	oh my God yes and then someone's like
2347s	yeah we can't do that
2350s	the service can't take that no
2352s	and everyone goes ah you sure they go
2354s	yeah just no
2357s	no because I'm fine all right let's move
2359s	on that happens basically every game is
2361s	like meeting at least once
2371s	usually usually it's it's
2373s	um frames around just like
2378s	just just Network capabilities that we
2381s	have like just being able to handle that
2384s	many things happening simultaneously
2387s	it's usually what it boils down to
2392s	are there any secrets in the game that
2394s	people haven't found yet in the live 85
2397s	version I don't think so I'm pretty sure
2398s	all those secrets in eight five live
2400s	have been found
2401s	um
2403s	I'm not sure if there are news I'm I'm
2406s	I'd be surprised if there weren't new
2408s	secrets for things I know the level
2410s	design guys love putting them in
2412s	um
2415s	and so sometimes there's like little
2416s	things they're just like nods like
2418s	really really subtle nods and everyone's
2420s	like no I mean that's kind of a secret I
2421s	guess
2423s	um
2424s	foreign
2425s	but uh yeah I I think there's probably
2427s	some new ones coming in point nine that
2429s	haven't been found yet probably I don't
2431s	know though so I do I don't want to
2432s	start it on for them if I'm wrong
2437s	I'd be surprised if nothing new was
2438s	added though
2440s	in the in the secrets and hidden cool
2442s	stuff category
2446s	there was story time again
2448s	um the uh the the lead level design guy
2451s	who was our only level design guy back
2453s	uh at the very start like six other days
2456s	um
2457s	he uh he put it he would sneak stuff
2460s	into the game and not tell anyone and
2462s	this was this was the wild west of last
2463s	Epoch development
2465s	um like there was there was no proper
2468s	control for these things like like
2472s	you you'd commit to master all the time
2475s	to me now but back then you could to
2477s	master no problem he just pushed
2478s	directly to master no pull request who
2480s	cares just it was it was whatever
2483s	um and people would just throw in
2484s	whatever they wanted it was it was
2485s	hilarious it was great it worked well
2487s	for us and I'm so glad we don't do it
2489s	anymore but
2490s	um more than once the the lead level
2492s	designer would um which would slip
2495s	secrets into the game or he would like
2497s	contact one person and say hey I need a
2499s	tool that does this thing and you're
2501s	like okay why and he's like I don't know
2502s	no reason
2504s	I'll go by someone else
2505s	and uh and like so he'd put he put
2508s	little secrets in and there was there
2509s	was something that like no one found for
2512s	so long and we were doing we're in a
2515s	group wide meeting and he's like okay no
2517s	one's found this for too long I'm
2518s	revealing it
2519s	um it was it was it was a good good
2521s	moment it was fun
2526s	tell me what the secret was it was just
2528s	like a room that had like eight chests
2530s	in it or something and you had to just
2531s	like jump off this cliff and you didn't
2533s	know that was the ability to jump off
2535s	this cliff
2549s	will there be in the game someday necro
2553s	or uh rogue mail to play Oh gender
2555s	locking questions okay
2557s	um there's a huge topic on the on the
2558s	forums about this if you want to read
2559s	there's they'll go into details on it
2562s	um
2563s	I I would say that there is a better
2567s	than even odds chance that eventually we
2569s	add
2570s	gender customization to the game at some
2572s	point
2573s	um and just character customization in
2575s	general really
2577s	it's not something we are planning for
2580s	1.0 it's not something we're working on
2582s	at all right now it's this is uh this is
2585s	a someday feature this is uh wouldn't it
2587s	be great yes it would be great can we do
2589s	it right now it's it's it's low priority
2591s	compared to so many other things
2594s	um
2595s	and uh and like like one day we'll get
2597s	to it what's that day I have no idea
2601s	um
2602s	and this this goes to all sorts of
2604s	different things one of our
2606s	um oh like so much of our stuff is based
2608s	around
2609s	um like character classes because
2611s	they're because the game is class locked
2612s	and having those uh those features of
2614s	those class work into so many different
2616s	places like even just down to armor
2620s	and things like that like it would look
2622s	weird to have this exact armor piece
2624s	which which is which is representative
2626s	on the character
2629s	it's actually a great example
2632s	so
2633s	here's this chess piece
2636s	uh and and the 2D art matches the
2640s	in-game 3D model oh my gosh
2648s	okay let's let's keep moving
2653s	um I think it would look a little uh
2657s	uh awkward it might bump us up a rating
2658s	level if uh there was a female character
2661s	I don't know how the hurricane system
2662s	works exactly but if there's a female
2664s	character wearing this exact armor
2666s	without any alterations uh we might get
2668s	a little bit of flack for that you know
2672s	um so there's a lot to do with uh with
2675s	updating uh to be able to have gender
2679s	and character customization in general
2681s	in the game
2683s	um but we know it's it is an important
2685s	thing for a lot of people
2687s	um and like lots of people come up to me
2689s	and said
2690s	um I only play
2692s	nekros and games like this or I only
2694s	play Rogues in games like this or I only
2696s	play uh paladins and games like this but
2700s	I also only play
2701s	uh gender whatever in uh in in games
2707s	like these so it's and like you don't
2708s	have a combination that matches the
2711s	class gender roles that I always pick
2713s	therefore I'm not gonna play your game
2714s	and and we we definitely have seen
2716s	feedback to that to that uh tune and
2719s	it's totally understandable like
2721s	it's there's it's a very deep topic and
2724s	I don't really want to go too far into
2725s	it
2726s	um and it sucks that we can't offer uh
2729s	an option for people that are in that
2731s	situation right out of the gate which
2733s	like it it does suck and I'm sorry if
2736s	you are one of those people but we just
2737s	don't have the bandwidth to do that
2739s	right now
2743s	this is something that we hope to add to
2745s	the game
2746s	um
2748s	yeah
2753s	and if if you are in that category I
2755s	hope you can find something that you
2756s	enjoyed to do and if not I hope we can
2760s	add something for you at some point hey
2762s	there's that Shield
2765s	find the weapon I'll try it out
2773s	even just one of them hitting hurts
2783s	I was talking to chat GPT and it told me
2786s	you can call public API it's got any
2788s	public apis no we do not uh by the way
2791s	has last Epoch game uh addressed the
2794s	trading poll any news on them walking
2796s	back on the no trading decision or not
2798s	well it would be impossible I'm gonna
2800s	get a little indignant here it would be
2802s	impossible to walk back the no trading
2804s	decision because it doesn't exist
2808s	um it was a very large amount of
2810s	rhetoric that came out around the
2812s	announcements saying that we said no
2814s	trade which we didn't
2816s	um which was unfortunate that that
2817s	happened
2821s	um so no I think is the answer to that
2824s	question
2826s	um
2827s	the conversations around trade never
2828s	stopped
2829s	uh we've been
2833s	we
2834s	uh Sophia was saying that sounds
2837s	hilarious I wonder what happened uh-oh
2839s	um I get a little behind in chat
2841s	sometimes and then I see comments about
2842s	something that happened a while ago and
2843s	I'm not sure what that thing was
2845s	anyways uh trade the the trade
2848s	conversation never finished 0.9 will
2851s	like like everything that's in that
2852s	document is still the same and nothing
2854s	changes the the trade system that
2857s	launches with 0.9 is still going to be
2859s	the item gifting system that we
2861s	initially announced that's that's not
2863s	changing
2864s	um
2865s	that document that Trade Post doesn't
2867s	cover anything after 0.9 it is strictly
2870s	talking about 0.9
2872s	um
2874s	so like everything after that is
2878s	TBD
2880s	um we are
2882s	definitely looking for a solution that
2886s	will allow more people to have fun with
2888s	the game because we do know that not
2891s	everyone is pleased by the prospect of
2896s	um item gifting being the only way to
2898s	trade items uh going forward and through
2900s	1.0
2903s	um the the the goals that are outlined
2906s	in that document are still very relevant
2908s	we still we we don't want to invalidate
2911s	um players ability to go out in the
2913s	world and kill monsters to find gear if
2916s	that's the way they want to play like we
2918s	we really don't want to do that and uh
2921s	like we don't want to validate that we
2922s	want we want to leave that as a very
2924s	core gameplay option that people have if
2928s	they want to and and I guess the
2930s	important part of that is be able to do
2931s	that if they want to and still feel like
2933s	they're being efficient I think that's a
2934s	big concern a lot of people have is that
2936s	um you might say like oh well yeah you
2938s	can still do that okay great but it's
2940s	not efficient and therefore I don't want
2941s	to do it and and so like that might be a
2943s	key piece that's missing is that we want
2945s	people to be able to still feel like
2946s	they're being efficient when they're
2948s	playing the game that way
2951s	um and we really don't want to split the
2955s	community physically and it physically
2957s	it's kind of a weird thing to say when
2959s	you're talking about video game but we
2960s	want people who are
2963s	um interested in playing the way I just
2964s	described and people who are interested
2966s	in playing with a trade system a more
2968s	open trade system if that were to be
2971s	implemented
2972s	like hypothetically
2974s	um we still want those people to be able
2976s	to play together
2977s	um if that's possible I don't know if
2978s	that's possible
2979s	um there's there's a lot of things we
2981s	want to do and and that document
2983s	outlines a lot of things we really want
2984s	to do
2986s	um there are a couple things that we
2988s	when we've been discussing trade systems
2990s	in the past before all this uh talk had
2993s	come out
2996s	um when we were discussing possible
2997s	trade systems to expand on this in the
2999s	future after 0.9 uh we had made some
3002s	assumptions or or assumptions like the
3004s	wrong word we figured some things based
3006s	on uh
3008s	evidence we thought we had or evidence
3010s	we had gathered or
3013s	um logic or I don't know what you want
3014s	to call it but there were there were
3016s	things we had figured out that
3018s	um the the trade survey did kind of
3021s	make us rethink how we were looking at
3023s	uh what the community wanted
3027s	um and I'm not going to share the
3028s	results of the survey
3030s	specifically
3032s	um
3033s	there were there were some questions
3034s	that like I can talk about generally
3036s	there were some questions that I'm like
3037s	oh obviously I know what the answer to
3039s	this one's gonna be no question and you
3041s	look at you're like
3042s	okay well that is a complete even split
3044s	for every single answer great that tells
3046s	us nothing
3049s	um and not always but you know there's
3051s	there's some funny things in there that
3053s	you're like
3054s	surprised there's some surprises in
3056s	there
3058s	are other questions where he was like
3059s	yeah obviously great we didn't need to
3061s	ask that
3063s	um
3066s	but yeah I think it's really important
3068s	that we're not looking to it's really
3071s	important to note that we whatever
3073s	system ends up happening and it's still
3075s	possible that it could be exactly what's
3077s	in point nine it could be what 1.0
3079s	launches it is possible that that could
3080s	happen I really want to stress that I'm
3082s	not there's no new information about
3084s	what's gonna happen with 1.0 there has
3086s	not been any information with what's
3087s	gonna happen with 1.0 it's just this is
3090s	what point nine is and we're gonna go
3091s	from there
3093s	that's that's where we're at right now
3095s	we know what 0.9 is and
3098s	we're
3099s	taking feedback to build
3102s	what we can for 1.0 to make it work for
3105s	as many people as possible while
3106s	maintaining the priorities and goals
3109s	that we have established
3114s	and there there is
3117s	uh a hope
3119s	from me and from a lot of people I think
3121s	that we can introduce something
3123s	different
3126s	um
3127s	it's it's it's so far from
3131s	uh set in stone yet though that I can't
3133s	say anything
3135s	even remotely concrete other than
3137s	something will happen it could be
3139s	anything
3140s	like it's just this is nothing I can't
3143s	say I'm sorry
3146s	it's like the most long-winded nothing
3147s	ants I've ever given I think
3154s	I don't even know if that was the
3155s	question anymore
3158s	let's go back to the question make sure
3159s	I answered it
3162s	Secrets question
3163s	apis question
3166s	oh trading pool yeah oh yeah okay I
3168s	didn't answer that
3175s	and I know there's a lot of I guess
3176s	we're touching this as well there's a
3177s	lot of assumptions in a lot of the posts
3180s	that I see like someone say like oh they
3183s	said this and obviously that means this
3184s	or uh oh like this means this or I think
3187s	this means that
3189s	um
3190s	really try and avoid that if you can
3192s	because my goodness are they
3195s	rarely right
3202s	I mean what we say and we say what we
3204s	mean
3204s	does not hidden subtleties lurking in
3207s	there to suss out
3216s	all right is it possible to increase
3218s	skills Shard drop rate they're not so
3221s	often I'll try to craft some T5 skill
3222s	mods yeah it's um
3224s	you'll notice that some skills
3226s	uh
3237s	I don't think I do some of them are more
3239s	rare than others
3241s	um and it's very intentional that they
3242s	are that way
3244s	um
3245s	you can you can increase them
3250s	I think I think one of the monolith
3252s	rewards has an increase to those drop
3255s	rates
3257s	could be wrong
3259s	um if not we may maybe add it through
3261s	that but um base drop right for them
3263s	probably won't be increasing
3265s	anytime soon
3271s	oh come on Avalanche
3280s	I hate Avalanche so much
3283s	so much
3289s	all right
3293s	I played the beta for roughly 150 hours
3295s	wow I just want to thank you for a great
3296s	game looking forward to the future
3297s	released glad you're having fun you're
3300s	welcome
3301s	thanks for hanging out congrats to the
3303s	500k I was really hyped myself when I
3304s	saw that yeah oh yeah when I heard that
3307s	was that was a pretty uh Wild
3309s	uh when that got announced internally
3313s	um just just recently like uh I was I
3316s	was pretty shocked like
3319s	um but it's it's great to see like
3322s	oh it's it's cool
3324s	it's really cool
3326s	thank you all
3331s	right with open trade you risk getting a
3334s	whole other can of worms in your hands
3336s	being uh trades bought an RMG rampant
3340s	it'll ruin the game for good young
3341s	people so there's
3345s	but I mean eyeshadow I'm gonna pick on
3347s	you a little bit I'm sorry
3348s	um there's there's a lot of assumptions
3350s	in the in that uh statement there and
3353s	um
3355s	I I think it's It's tricky to talk about
3358s	trade
3359s	um without take without without
3360s	examining some of those assumptions and
3362s	and looking at what it what it could
3364s	mean if you take some of those out of
3365s	there
3366s	um so
3370s	and I know you're careful you said risk
3372s	getting hold on the camera but like
3374s	let's let's look at the rmp thing for a
3375s	second so
3376s	um there's a sticker price in the game
3378s	right
3380s	um every time a a bot system makes a new
3383s	account they have to buy in uh if like a
3384s	bot gets banned and they want to replace
3386s	that bot they have to make a new account
3387s	right so that's 35 of cost right on the
3391s	right on the on the front end of every
3392s	single bot character they make
3396s	um
3398s	and and and that's that's a big
3400s	deterrent right on its own like just
3402s	right out of the gate that's a huge
3403s	deterrent
3404s	um and yes you're right with a fully
3406s	open trade system
3407s	it's pretty easy to to bot things and
3410s	cause problems now
3413s	um
3415s	we we do have uh
3418s	uh there's a lot of ways we can combat
3421s	Bots there's a lot of different ways
3423s	um and if we were to set up a trade
3425s	system there's a lot of different ways
3426s	we can set that trade system up to have
3428s	low friction for users and high friction
3430s	for Bots
3432s	um and that's a really important thing
3433s	to be looking at as well
3435s	um is that if we were hypothetically to
3437s	create some sort of trade system uh and
3441s	we were trying to keep Bots out of it we
3444s	would really want to avoid causing
3446s	problems for users in that system so
3450s	um one the the type of thing that I'm
3452s	always reminded of is there was back in
3455s	like 2013 there was a lot of talk on
3458s	um DRM and the impacts of DRM on people
3462s	who are not attempting to Dr digital
3464s	Rights Management anti-hacking for video
3467s	games and if you're cracking so like
3468s	making sure people buy the game to play
3470s	it
3471s	and
3473s	um
3474s	sometimes you have DRM systems that are
3476s	so aggressive they actually do more
3478s	damage to the people who are buying the
3480s	game and playing it properly than those
3481s	who are trying to crack the game the
3483s	people are cracking the game just get
3484s	around the trm anyways
3490s	um and I think there's something similar
3491s	that that can happen in attempting to
3493s	fight Bots
3494s	because like a tiny bit of rmt leaking
3498s	in
3499s	isn't the end of the world and I see
3501s	like a tiny bit leaking in like like as
3505s	soon as you have any sort of multiplayer
3506s	system at all you leave yourself open to
3509s	some form of rmt being possible
3512s	as soon as you can say two people can
3513s	group together because you can say all
3516s	right I'll pay you five bucks if you
3518s	um join a party with me and just play
3520s	because you're better than me like and
3522s	and that that alone is is rmt and it's
3525s	it's possible to do
3528s	um
3530s	and so it's it's working to minimize the
3533s	impact that RMC has on the overall game
3535s	economy while simultaneously not having
3538s	negative impacts on the people who are
3540s	participating with it legitimately
3543s	um and there's lots of ways you can you
3544s	can do that
3547s	this is all super hypothetical because
3549s	we might not even have something that's
3550s	leaves us open to any more extensive RMG
3553s	van
3554s	hey join my party for five bucks and
3555s	play with me you know
3559s	because even even the even the 0.9
3561s	system has the potential for
3563s	a little tiny bit of rmd stuff to happen
3565s	it's possible
3571s	it's way less likely to be rampant or
3575s	um
3576s	game bending
3578s	than a free trade system though
3584s	and if you if you if you do
3585s	hypothetically have like a a free trade
3588s	system and you track transaction records
3590s	for trades
3592s	um
3594s	it's pretty easy to find that long sword
3595s	that was sold for a billion gold or that
3598s	uh root of creation that was sold for
3599s	one gold you know like it's
3603s	you see that you see that 800 times on a
3605s	single account you go but I wonder
3607s	what's going on there
3615s	so yeah like if we were to add any sort
3618s	of trade system in the future rmt and
3621s	Bots is a concern
3623s	um and it's something that we would have
3624s	to figure out before we could make that
3625s	possible
3633s	is it something that we're going to 100
3635s	Stamp Out forever no probably not
3649s	it would be cool to see in the monolith
3652s	if I see in the monolith is class
3654s	specific class specific uniques prefix
3658s	and affix drops uh for items from the
3662s	nodes
3663s	oh come on Mike
3665s	so I think I think we're asking here is
3668s	um have have nodes in the monolith that
3671s	that actually have class specific
3674s	um and have the drops change based on
3676s	the class you're playing for that
3678s	um
3679s	yeah if you've got suggestions for
3680s	things like that or mechanics you want
3682s	to see Ed the game please head on over
3683s	to our forums and leave it into our
3685s	feedback and suggestions section because
3686s	it will get recorded there
3689s	and I'll just forget
3700s	me out of y'all
3708s	how are you doing Mike I my back really
3711s	hurts right now I'm like
3713s	the reason I'm still standing has got
3716s	that sweet sweet robax
3719s	I hate taking it but I took one today
3722s	I just couldn't handle it
3727s	will we be able to purchase cosmetic
3730s	points or future support packs via steam
3733s	we are looking to um to open up and
3735s	we've got a new system with our MTX uh
3738s	like in-game cosmetic store
3740s	um coupling it with steen's uh
3743s	purchasing system that we will be able
3744s	to have
3746s	um purchases happen through Steam
3747s	directly and have them be redeemable in
3749s	game
3750s	ah so yes
3755s	is this this is unique it is this is
3757s	unique yeah this is the one if if you
3761s	guys missed that we did a um
3764s	uh we sent this actually physical
3766s	version of this helmet uh that's like
3768s	like we got this cosplayer who makes
3770s	their own stuff to like make this
3772s	physical actual helmet and send it to
3774s	ziz
3776s	um and uh also this uh this mug as well
3783s	um still never used because it's just
3785s	sitting up here on my shelf because I
3787s	love looking at it
3788s	but it's actually like a metal inside I
3790s	think it would actually be nice to use
3794s	yeah it's it's um this this unique I
3797s	love this unique and one of the big
3798s	things that I love about it is something
3799s	that ziz was pushing for really heavily
3801s	and it's the really big ranges on the
3803s	roll ranges on it so like
3806s	um it has big roll ranges
3810s	um on a lot of different things five to
3813s	75 on three different things like what
3817s	it's great
3820s	um and then even the like the one to
3821s	threesome wolf and the 10 to 30 increase
3823s	health like there's there's big ranges
3825s	on it
3826s	um I really like that in uniques that's
3828s	that's one of my favorite things
3834s	because you said that
3836s	um I I love I love yeah I love uniques
3838s	with a big roll ranges and like one
3840s	static step that's really good and
3842s	useful so you're like no matter what it
3844s	drops and it's great
3845s	um it drops your wolves are compared to
3847s	squirrels and that's awesome you know
3849s	like every single one of them has that
3851s	same property and you can build around
3852s	that one property of it so even if you
3854s	drop the crappiest Herald ever it still
3857s	has that build enabling
3859s	um affix on it which is great and then
3860s	you can like find a little bit better
3862s	versions of it and then you get like LP
3864s	versions of it and like good roles on
3866s	the mods with LP and then you get a good
3867s	roll on the and there's just there's so
3869s	much room for it to actually be like
3870s	like the difference between a like like
3874s	the the C like the floor in the ceiling
3876s	of a heraldless curry is huge but even
3878s	the floor is still really good and it's
3881s	like uh it's good I like that big fan
3891s	talk about like floor ceiling
3893s	differences in power a lot in Magic
3895s	cards
3897s	without when you're evaluating new ones
3909s	I have a I have a deck recently uh sort
3912s	of playing this just awful it's uh Pro
3914s	dragons approach deck
3916s	um so usually oh that was a mistake
3921s	oh
3924s	oh that was a mistake okay if I drop
3927s	something and stayed on the ground next
3929s	time
3930s	I think what I was saying
3933s	doesn't matter move it on oh
3936s	okay are you planning to add a unique
3938s	stash tab where you can place one of
3939s	every unique for hoarders Among Us a
3942s	Grail tab
3943s	um we don't have 0.9 plans for a Grail
3947s	tab
3948s	um I think there's a lot of really cool
3949s	stuff we can do with our stash system
3951s	and we are still looking at expanding
3953s	that there's there's lots of really cool
3955s	stuff that you can do with the stash to
3957s	to give it like a little bit of quality
3958s	life improvements a little bit of
3959s	functionality a little usability
3960s	improvements
3961s	um and there's a whole bunch of wins
3963s	there that we are uh considering working
3965s	on looking at all sorts of stuff
3967s	um there won't be any major differences
3968s	between the eight five stash and the 0.9
3970s	stash
3971s	um but there will be
3973s	uh uh future improvements
3980s	so the stash is not done but uh you
3982s	won't see much in 0.94
3993s	as as for the
3995s	yeah like the The Grail stash
3999s	um
4000s	it might so we've we've talked we've
4002s	actually talked about this one quite a
4003s	bit and um it might be presented a
4006s	little bit differently than a normal
4007s	stash tab
4009s	um so like the the big things people say
4011s	like okay well you still want to be able
4012s	to pull the item out oh or maybe not
4014s	like that's not sort of a debatable
4016s	thing like do you need to be able to
4017s	pull the items out or not
4019s	um and because there's so many uniques
4020s	that could get more and more and more
4023s	um the the tab for the like rail tab um
4026s	I say Grail tab if anyone's wondering
4028s	Holy Grail is sort of a term for finding
4029s	every unique in the game so a Grail tab
4032s	tracks every unique in the game and if
4033s	you found it or not
4035s	um so like I we we were considering at
4038s	one point having uh something where it
4039s	would like you could put an item into
4042s	this like Grail list and it would sort
4046s	of it would show up more similarly to
4049s	um something like this
4052s	was an organized list it was still like
4054s	you still Mouse over and it still has
4055s	the tooltip so it still shows what the
4056s	item was but it's not shown in a Big
4059s	Grid like this because it's more about
4061s	completing a checklist than
4064s	um having this system really
4067s	um and then this is the question of like
4068s	okay well do you make it removable or
4070s	not if you don't make it removable
4072s	um then it is and there's no room for
4074s	like using that to like choose storage
4076s	space which is great
4078s	um
4079s	yeah
4084s	long-term plans great Magic card
4087s	uh all right next question will
4090s	multiplayer be friends only or will it
4093s	be matching system Lobby system
4095s	um the 0.9.9 will not launch with any
4098s	sort of automated Lobby matchmaking
4100s	system
4101s	um if you want to join a party with
4102s	someone you'll have to
4105s	um communicate through chat and gain or
4108s	through another external communication
4109s	system and adapt your party you don't
4113s	have to they don't have to be on your
4114s	friends list to join the party
4115s	um that is an easy way to be able to
4118s	join more than once but no they do not
4120s	need to be any problems
4130s	oh thing is fighting Bots will advert
4133s	your Manpower from actual game
4134s	development one way or another even if
4136s	it doesn't ruin our experience we'll
4138s	take a toll on you yeah and and I think
4140s	that's an important note as well is that
4142s	um designing the system in a smart way
4144s	that makes it so that Bots have a
4147s	naturally uh High friction experience
4151s	and people have a naturally low friction
4153s	experience is uh is a great way to to
4156s	combat Bots without taking manpower to
4157s	do it
4160s	and part of that is just
4163s	35 second price it sucks for pots
4173s	of a movement glitch there
4179s	what about MTX in Steam uh would they
4182s	sell in the Steam Market oh like be
4185s	resellable in the Sea Market no
4193s	like 99 sure in that one because we
4196s	haven't talked about it at all and I
4198s	feel like there's a major amount of
4199s	setup required to do that
4208s	hey Mike and team hello just wanted to
4211s	send you guys some appreciation for
4212s	making something uh making something
4214s	work with uh the support packs for those
4217s	of us that bought the game on scene
4219s	cool are we doing that
4221s	I hope so
4223s	I'm out of the loop
4225s	but if it's working for you great
4232s	when the wall up your release 1.0 when
4234s	it's 1.0 don't know uh yeah in theory it
4237s	is easy to determine rmt from non-rmt
4239s	but in practice there needs to be some
4240s	dedicated people checking things out
4242s	right yeah and
4243s	um the response is
4248s	it's it's something that if it becomes a
4251s	problem
4253s	um we'll have to assess how we want to
4255s	respond to that problem and it'll it'll
4259s	be depending on how the problem is set
4260s	up like if it's someone uh sitting in
4264s	the forest killing boars uh
4267s	forever I mean maybe those boards don't
4269s	drop gold anymore or you know like
4271s	something like that
4273s	um because no one actually sits in the
4275s	force killing boards and uh makes Love
4278s	Not Warcraft best South Park episode
4279s	ever look it up you don't know anyways
4282s	um
4284s	the
4286s	the yeah the response would have to be
4287s	proportional to the problem
4289s	um and I think if the response was going
4291s	to be
4293s	significant it would have to be having a
4295s	significant impact on the player base
4296s	that makes any sense
4304s	okay you just give us open trading point
4306s	nine and just let's see what happens
4308s	it's an experimental thing no I'm sorry
4310s	we can't we get not even a little bit we
4312s	can't do that that's like so far out of
4314s	the realm of possibility no
4316s	um no
4319s	um
4323s	the
4325s	like
4326s	technical technical limitations aside
4329s	like I've got a magic wand this magic
4330s	wand says Boop open trade is now a thing
4333s	um
4334s	if that was the case if if if I had that
4337s	magic wand and I could wave it and do
4339s	that
4340s	um
4342s	you can never unwave that wand
4344s	like the the instant we take open trade
4347s	away
4348s	um
4349s	like the the the backlash is
4353s	unreal like even when we didn't take it
4356s	away and people thought we did oh my
4360s	goodness
4361s	like
4363s	um like just wow anyways so no I'm sorry
4370s	real store win oh you're asking uh uh
4374s	like like
4376s	um to buy to buy like like shirts and
4378s	game mats that I can't lift up because
4380s	I'll put my keyboard up
4382s	um and things like that oh I've got
4385s	that's on the ground that's not
4386s	happening
4388s	um
4389s	uh maybe just a sec
4415s	that's the one I play magic with and
4417s	it's huge it's like a two-person play
4419s	Man anyways um things like that yeah we
4421s	are
4422s	um that's I know we've been saying it
4423s	for years it's in the works it's in the
4425s	works it is in the works it's coming
4427s	um
4428s	like everyone on the team asks everyone
4430s	like in management about when are we
4433s	getting this because we want it too
4435s	um and yeah it's coming it's coming it
4438s	is further along than it has ever been
4439s	there was an update recently about it
4442s	um it's it is happening
4445s	don't worry
4451s	that I see think about the mug I'm a
4454s	little hard behind I think the the mug
4455s	that mug will not be available in the
4457s	store sorry
4458s	uh do you have any plans for random
4460s	events that could happen in the maps
4461s	like how in po you load up a map there
4463s	could be a ritual Legion and harvest
4465s	kind of gets stale pretty fast there's
4467s	no um
4469s	yeah if there's math boss
4472s	um absolutely yes the the that that is
4474s	the sort of thing that we uh definitely
4476s	want to add to the game we've got a few
4478s	different versions we're tossing around
4480s	um I think
4481s	uh one of those things will likely
4484s	probably maybe sort of I hope
4487s	like trying to make sure not promising
4490s	this be part of one of the early Cycles
4493s	so like 1.1 or something 1.2 would would
4497s	have a mechanic like that in it
4500s	um or maybe multiple mechanics like that
4501s	and because that's that's definitely a
4503s	piece that we know needs to happen in
4505s	the monolith is is having
4508s	um unexpected things happen you're
4511s	playing and
4513s	um like some like you've played the same
4515s	model with map 100 times
4517s	um but this time some dude runs out of a
4519s	corner screen with an ax at you tries to
4521s	chop your head off and you get close to
4523s	killing him at the very last second he
4524s	stops you and invites you into a house
4526s	and gives you a mission to go find a
4528s	special treasure chest in another model
4530s	if you'll find that and it has a big
4533s	epic unique in it with uh guaranteed
4535s	legendary potential I don't know I just
4536s	made that up as I was talking
4538s	um my point is is that having things
4540s	like that that are unexpected events is
4542s	really positive because it breaks up the
4544s	gameplay it subverts your expectations
4546s	on what you're going to get into
4548s	um or or also having things that that
4551s	um maybe random events that you know
4553s	going into like okay this monolith Echo
4555s	uh I know going in there's this new
4557s	effect on it and it's going to change
4559s	the way I approach that it's gonna cause
4560s	me to maybe rush it as fast as I can or
4563s	it's going to cause me to go really slow
4566s	and try and kill everything in the
4567s	entire map or maybe it's gonna cause me
4569s	to hunt for all of the rare mobs in the
4572s	map or something like that you know like
4573s	like something that changes your
4575s	gameplay because there's some random
4577s	event that's happening on it
4582s	there's all sorts of things we discuss
4587s	so yes we have plans for things like
4588s	that
4589s	you guys gonna add more a minion spammy
4592s	necro builds I love you too I love
4594s	having an army almost 50 skeletons at
4595s	once in the screen swing storm swarming
4597s	cows ah 50s a little much we do try to
4600s	keep things reasonable
4602s	um
4603s	I I I've played Lego Man series man I
4606s	played them
4607s	um
4609s	hmm probably won't go that extreme but
4612s	you can't get quite a few Minions going
4614s	now uh like like try and do the most and
4617s	you get a lot it's just one thing we try
4618s	to do is as well as have
4620s	um active minions so there's certain
4623s	certain Minions that like volatile
4625s	zombies my favorite one where you're
4626s	like it's it's kind of like a spell but
4629s	it is a minion and it plays like a
4630s	minion and like that's one of the key
4632s	things you're doing as a necromancer is
4633s	you're casting summon spells frequently
4636s	um that's really cool thank you very
4638s	much I just punched the ceiling
4640s	Harry Paco I'm sorry I don't know your
4642s	name it's cool
4644s	four month resub thank you very much
4646s	appreciate it glad to have you here hope
4647s	you're having fun
4649s	maybe learn something
4651s	hopefully not too much though
4654s	uh on December has an interesting
4656s	approach to things you were talking
4658s	about keeping track of uniques and
4660s	things like that I have not seen their
4662s	unique tracking in December yet but I
4664s	would be interested in looking at it
4667s	because I bet there are some cool ways
4668s	to track that
4673s	if you want to give me a tldr1 sentence
4675s	version I'd be interested
4679s	if not that's cool too I will probably
4681s	just go look it up now afterwards
4683s	oh that's gonna be a lot of poison
4684s	Stacks that's a lot of poison stacks
4689s	do I have a cleanse belt I do not have a
4691s	cleanse belt
4693s	oh my goodness
4697s	I need a cleanse valve for in here
4702s	woof all right
4709s	uh stats window enemies kill damage
4712s	dealt Hearts broken Etc
4714s	um not yet but uh yeah
4721s	we'll open a weekend event Beyond a new
4724s	patch compared to the last event bug
4725s	fixes or even new content balance uh
4729s	uh sorry
4732s	can't hear you know please answer uh
4734s	I would be surprised if you knew I think
4736s	I I think it's so it is it is a new
4739s	patch I can tell you that it's a
4740s	different game build
4743s	I do know that it is a different game
4744s	build I don't know if there are uh any
4748s	new content changes
4751s	I'd say likely what happened is We snuck
4754s	in some
4755s	um bug fixing and disability changes and
4758s	things like that probably most of the
4759s	changes are actually server side
4764s	um
4765s	but yeah I don't I don't know I'm sorry
4773s	so sparkly water there
4776s	uh I think Kane and Steve post an update
4779s	for us to send a ticket after purchasing
4780s	on the packet website Steve posted a
4782s	link on the backpack announcement listed
4784s	okay cool no thank you
4788s	uh also if you uh watched Parks and Rec
4790s	yet you know Ben Wyatt's stupid surprise
4793s	face when he's basically like wouldn't
4795s	Leslie surprised him with the iron throw
4797s	that's basically my face when he showed
4799s	us the mat yeah yeah
4801s	the cones of dunshire would live on
4804s	forever
4806s	it's all right I think that's right
4809s	it's a great show that's a great show
4810s	that that show that's what that's one of
4811s	my favorite shows that has like the
4813s	worst first season the first season is
4815s	so hard to get through and like so many
4818s	characters change so heavily after that
4821s	first season like there's there's just
4822s	such huge like even the roles the
4824s	characters play changes like their
4826s	Dynamic changes the
4829s	love to love that show
4834s	someone like tried to recreate the
4835s	conseger from like the little bits that
4837s	you see in the show or something
4839s	ridiculous the most complicated board
4841s	game ever
4843s	uh speaking of which has there been any
4845s	mention on uh what you think lost
4847s	memories should look like I'm really
4849s	curious about the system I can't give
4850s	you any info on that I'm sorry I'd
4852s	assume the answer is yes but just for
4854s	confirmation will the next set of
4855s	supportive packs uh be purchasable slash
4858s	upgradeable by existing players I
4860s	believe so
4863s	believe so
4867s	uh is there a chance that minions will
4869s	show uh paper DPS eventually yes
4873s	eventually can be a long time
4875s	sorry
4878s	the uh I'm sorry this update to the
4880s	character sheet has been delayed I know
4882s	it's been like a bajillion times
4885s	um
4888s	we just we just keep we keep starting it
4890s	and then we're like oh my God we have to
4891s	do this now put it on pause
4896s	let me set it up again oh my God we have
4898s	to do something put on pause it just
4900s	keeps it just keeps happening I'm sorry
4901s	it's it's coming it's coming I promise
4903s	it'll happen
4906s	whoa
4911s	ow my face
4913s	nope don't stand in that bike you've
4915s	learned your lesson
4916s	yeah learning
4920s	Aries sorry for two months bro thank you
4922s	very much appreciate it glad to have you
4924s	here
4931s	foreign
4938s	forums I don't know if it's been asked
4940s	probably but that's okay uh happy to
4943s	answer it again if it has any news about
4945s	third Mage specialization French here so
4948s	if you can't answer slowly so I can
4950s	understand uh yes
4954s	I would try to answer in French but I
4958s	would probably make it worse because
4959s	your English is probably better than my
4961s	French
4963s	um even though it's an official language
4965s	of this country
4967s	anyways
4969s	um
4969s	the final Mage Mastery the Rune Master
4973s	will arrive at 1.0 launch the main full
4978s	game launch will include remaster it
4980s	will not come before that the Rune
4982s	Master will not be available
4985s	at 0.9 when multiplayer Launches on
4987s	March 9th will not be available
4995s	I hope that was okay
4997s	if not I can put a new translator
5000s	foreign
5010s	I took French for like
5014s	I took French for 12 years
5017s	so I should be good at it I'm not
5023s	when's 1.0 again I can't tell that's
5026s	like so there's like questions I get
5028s	asked so many times in the Stream like
5030s	by like the halfway mark in the Stream
5031s	the second half of the stream I'm always
5033s	like is that a joke like did you just
5034s	get here you may have just got here
5035s	that's fine if you did
5037s	um no I don't have any info when 1.0
5039s	will launch I'm sorry
5042s	oh you know we haven't had any spoilers
5045s	I got stuff ready for you
5047s	I've just been so caught up with so many
5049s	good questions here that I haven't been
5050s	answering no one's asked for spoilers
5051s	yet what's going on
5055s	uh tldr for on December tracker oh cool
5058s	the tracker is also a sort of stash in
5061s	which you add items and can also get
5063s	them out of it works for Unique skills
5067s	breakfast skills are yep and can be
5069s	accessed from all characters and
5071s	collecting things and it gives you some
5073s	bonuses like extra stats oh that's cool
5075s	so it actually works as a mechanic
5077s	present extra drops etc for XYZ things
5080s	uh percent extra gold for example Etc
5082s	you get the main idea yeah that's that's
5084s	cool um that it actually affects like
5086s	your character
5087s	um
5088s	yeah
5091s	I think in a like in a standard cycle
5093s	where like it just keeps going I think
5094s	it's a really cool thing to have where
5096s	it actually affects that
5098s	um
5099s	or if it's like a minor effect
5101s	it might be cool even that that's a cool
5103s	idea I I actually hadn't thought of that
5106s	um I hadn't heard someone suggest that
5108s	either
5109s	um
5110s	that that definitely won't be happening
5112s	by 1.0 I can tell you that much
5115s	but that's very cool I do like that
5116s	that's neat
5122s	when multiplayer unless you talk
5124s	beginning March 9th
5133s	is 22-23 days
5135s	something like that
5137s	real soon
5140s	there is the uh free test weekend or
5145s	test a little bit chunk I don't know how
5147s	long it falls in 23rd six days from now
5148s	there's a little freebie
5151s	Jeff French stream
5154s	I'm uh knocking a friendship sorry
5158s	I'd just be standing there like
5161s	we
5165s	like I can't hang
5175s	I'm like able to learn just enough of
5177s	whatever language of the country I'm
5178s	visiting
5179s	not for like three times I visited other
5181s	language countries and uh to like get
5184s	along like I can remember just like
5185s	enough phrases that I'm like all right
5187s	this will this will do me for this trip
5194s	foreign
5195s	fundamentals come back when you're doing
5197s	stuff like that

5390s	yeah we're getting a lot a lot of new
5392s	um
5393s	a lot of new enemy models coming in
5395s	um
5396s	which is great like more variety
5398s	replacing the ones that are kind of not
5400s	so great because they're uh there's
5403s	there were some enemies that were
5406s	like like okay we've got this model and
5408s	we've got this model what if we just
5410s	like
5413s	all right new enemies
5433s	that was gonna hurt more than it did
5435s	you're gonna fire us
5439s	uh that new Doggie in the temple of a
5442s	terror kind of looks like the new
5443s	Guardian it kind of does doesn't it
5446s	I actually have no idea where it is
5449s	but you make a good point it does look
5451s	like it's in this I'd give you I'll give
5453s	you full marks for that one
5457s	is that a doggo cat welfare monster yeah
5460s	sums it up it's definitely in that Realm
5473s	oh did someone ask a question I missed
5475s	uh
5476s	sorry if I did if I missed your question
5488s	oh um peachy song uh you have to put at
5492s	last Epoch game in your question or else
5494s	I will probably miss it
5496s	um
5498s	I just see a couple people saying at
5500s	Mike
5501s	oh she can find a way to make app mic
5503s	work because uh I just like it
5506s	highlights in the chat for me like in
5507s	big like highlight like this is one to
5510s	look at if it's got at last Epoch game
5513s	in it
5514s	um so uh have there ever been
5515s	discussions to sh about timed DPS dummy
5520s	uh there have we have no interest in
5522s	them at the moment
5530s	uh peach song had a question too
5534s	uh is there a unique that causes you to
5536s	be healed by poison uh yeah I think so
5540s	um
5542s	uh oh
5548s	someone help me out I think isn't there
5549s	one that lets you do it through one
5551s	let's let's do ignite for Mages I think
5554s	I think it works for poison too I can't
5557s	remember
5559s	someone knows more about this than I am
5560s	I do
5567s	this is from my habit someone's like so
5569s	I read so many UniQue Ideas unique item
5572s	ideas from like Community from our
5574s	internal uh from like discussions we
5576s	have from supporting uniques that like I
5578s	sometimes forget like did that one get
5579s	made
5581s	because I definitely remember reading
5582s	one about that
5588s	all right right what is your favorite
5591s	enemy design model so far oh interesting
5595s	question
5596s	um
5604s	I I know it's not everyone's favorite I
5608s	weirdly like the boss of lightless armor
5611s	like I'm a weirdly big fan of that whole
5613s	fight the whole design the Aesthetics
5615s	everything like from all like both
5616s	phases I really like that enemy
5619s	um I think it's it's like it starts out
5622s	as kind of this weird fight that a lot
5624s	of people struggle with initially which
5626s	I think is a problem with a little bit
5627s	of mechanics timing there
5629s	um
5630s	which I think can be improved upon but
5632s	it's I really like that one it's just
5634s	this like
5636s	the the light dark contrast that happens
5638s	there like you
5640s	heard it enough to like go inside of it
5642s	physically until the sense of scale is
5644s	just so big I'm a big fan of that one
5655s	or
5660s	you know we're getting pretty deep into
5661s	the stream I'll give you another one
5662s	we're rapid fire spoilers back to back
5664s	here here's my favorite enemy
5669s	boom
5677s	there we go yeah
5680s	this is a new enemy model
5683s	um
5683s	this actually is an enemy that's already
5685s	in the game that's being replaced with
5687s	this model I think like 90 you're on
5690s	that
5691s	one specific enemy
5695s	uh this isn't even a 0.9 1.0 question
5698s	just more of a long term but do you guys
5700s	have plans for more cinematic stuff
5702s	showing off some of those enemy scenes
5704s	like when you get to majelka definitely
5706s	yes
5707s	um and you will start to see them prop
5709s	up in 1.0
5711s	maybe even 0.9 I don't think so yeah I
5713s	don't know if it's gonna happen but but
5715s	you will start to see some more
5715s	cinematics stuff pop up in um in there
5718s	and and like uh yes it'll be skippable
5721s	and
5722s	um
5725s	but like the kind of storybook moving
5728s	image type uh cinematics that we see it
5731s	when the characters select that sort of
5732s	stuff I I think uh I think you'll you'll
5735s	see more of that
5749s	oh I got a question all right uh what
5752s	will be your opinion about mod mods and
5756s	add-ons uh if at release some people
5758s	find a way to make something like a UI
5760s	modifier for example
5762s	um
5764s	we we don't really have uh an opinion on
5767s	mods in mult in in sorry we don't have
5770s	opinion on mods in single player
5773s	um like like so like offline solo single
5775s	player just completely removed when when
5778s	when when the split the proper split
5781s	happens when there's like a full offline
5783s	mode that has no impact on online
5785s	systems whatsoever there's there's like
5786s	there's no it's it's it's a fully
5788s	offline experience like completely
5790s	offline offline offline offline
5794s	don't care don't care at all
5797s	um when we're in the the online
5799s	environment we're
5802s	um
5804s	less interested in the mods happening
5807s	there
5808s	um you specifically mentioned UI mods I
5810s	don't really want to make a statement on
5812s	UI mods because I don't know I don't
5814s	know if we've talked about that I don't
5815s	remember talking about those
5816s	specifically
5818s	um
5823s	yeah so I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm
5826s	gonna avoid the UI section of that uh
5829s	question and
5831s	um kind of just say what's what I know
5833s	is okay
5835s	uh yeah sorry that's not a full answer
5843s	the ntx 10.9 if yes can you link one of
5845s	it
5847s	um I mean I can be a jerk and leak one
5849s	of it that you've already seen
5851s	um yes there will be there will be some
5854s	uh new MTX options available in 0.9 I've
5859s	been working on the store for weeks now
5862s	um and we are basically ready to go with
5864s	it
5865s	good daughter
5877s	oh like big big stun big son
5879s	oh it's gonna hurt
5905s	yeah there we go it's gonna do so so
5907s	this is the like a lot like I always
5909s	talk about this with lagon when I am
5911s	finally gone a lot of people are
5912s	struggle with the pattern so if you're
5914s	if you're struggling with it with the
5915s	gun I think it'll probably help you out
5917s	a little bit here so he's got three
5920s	like main moves that'll really get you
5924s	so is this one where it sweeps side to
5926s	side
5927s	uh I actually talk about that later but
5929s	when it does the the goal
5932s	um the goal to like if you really want
5933s	to avoid that sweep really well should
5936s	be to
5938s	um move past the starting point to the
5941s	outside of the side he's moving from
5944s	that's kind of weird with it so it's
5946s	like if he's gonna sweep from right to
5947s	left you want to move right uh so you
5951s	can get past the start of it so that
5953s	most of the sweep you're just away from
5955s	it you don't have to worry about it at
5956s	all he's just sweeping into nothingness
5958s	um and when he starts the motion to
5962s	sweep he'll always sweep towards the
5964s	center of where you're standing from
5965s	when he starts
5969s	um
5972s	so you should move like
5974s	like who's gonna he's gonna sweep
5976s	towards you you gotta you gotta run
5978s	towards him and pass where he is right
5981s	now when he starts the sweep
5984s	uh and and if you're positioning well in
5987s	the center before that happens you
5989s	should be able to do that consistently
5991s	without a movement ability if you're if
5993s	you're really paying attention and I
5994s	Know It's tricky to get all of them
5996s	um
5999s	and then there's then there's one where
6001s	he goes down
6003s	which causes
6005s	um yeah that one right there it's a
6006s	bunch of damage just where you are you
6008s	just gotta get out of where you are and
6009s	this only comes up as well so there's
6012s	there's that I should I should have
6013s	walked right but he was so far right
6014s	already
6016s	thought it wasn't gonna be good
6018s	so we've gone to see people start
6019s	standing near the middle to try and do
6020s	it
6024s	that hit oh my goodness those hits
6029s	so sweeping go left
6032s	sweeps away from you no problem
6041s	I'm starting to bore you I'm sorry
6048s	sweeping go left
6063s	stuns are beefing
6066s	good job squiggly boys oh big lightning
6068s	one that's just a direct upgrade love it
6074s	yeah we don't we don't care about shock
6075s	at all in this build Mana we don't
6077s	really run out of the Mana let's just
6078s	get more lightning resistance
6080s	that's a high roll too I'll take it
6086s	I will take that happily
6088s	laughing all the way to the bank I love
6091s	the way the shield looks
6093s	all right we can get them online dang it
6096s	I thought the model was in this one
6101s	played myself
6112s	the um the MTX sorry I started this
6115s	thing the MTX that is coming in 0.9 is
6118s	very limited there's a very small amount
6121s	of MTX actually coming in 0.9
6123s	um
6125s	a lot of the work was getting a system
6127s	together getting the flow together
6128s	nicely
6130s	um but there's more coming there's a lot
6131s	that are in there's a lot that's in the
6133s	pipeline it just isn't ready yet
6135s	um More's coming but yeah the the
6137s	initial version of the system so you can
6139s	kind of see how it's going to work get a
6140s	feel for what it's going to look like
6141s	that sort of stuff is there there's a
6143s	couple things that are that are
6144s	something's actually really cool but um
6147s	yeah sort of like a soft launch
6154s	oh
6158s	do you guys have an idea on how the game
6160s	will be bounced group wise for in-game
6162s	content for example X supports and xdps
6164s	we don't really want to have people
6166s	um locked into those types of roles we'd
6169s	prefer people to pick four supports if
6172s	they want to but good luck I don't know
6173s	if that's gonna work or four DPS if they
6175s	want to that'll probably work a lot
6176s	better but you know
6178s	um
6179s	I think you'll generally need at least
6182s	one person doing some decent damage uh
6184s	before fights get a little painful to
6186s	deal with but
6188s	um we're really trying to avoid
6189s	dictating what that looks like if
6191s	possible
6193s	oh that's probably why I haven't done
6196s	this yet
6197s	uh
6200s	Like Mike
6204s	you silly boy
6208s	Grand not Grand
6212s	at all starting this one again
6218s	call 9-1-1 to catch the guy that forgot
6221s	to put that model in
6223s	I mean this patch is like a year old now
6225s	so it's uh there's a lot that's happened
6227s	since this patch
6231s	our team is also on the model of that
6234s	wormy guy was supposed to was posted on
6236s	Twitter gave me actual creeps yeah
6239s	uh so don't spend all my money on the
6241s	current MTX because the stuff coming in
6242s	the future is cooler got it I mean
6246s	there's stuff that I'm sure people will
6249s	think is cooler and stuff that people
6250s	think is less cool like it's
6253s	very subjective topic
6257s	oh it's not going this way
6278s	offline no I've got another spoiler
6284s	also people are back we're back we're
6285s	back yes we're back yes we did it
6289s	sorry about that everybody I have no
6291s	idea what happened
6296s	it didn't say anything bad on my end and
6299s	then uh trying to reconnect we started
6301s	it was like it did not want to restart
6302s	the Stream
6314s	we got there we got there
6325s	my internet's solid I checked that as
6327s	the first thing I checked
6338s	oh this is flood in
6343s	oh there's a lot of mods happening here
6345s	oh Soul cages yeah I don't think we
6349s	never mind
6352s	you heard nothing
6360s	I don't know if I killed that thing it
6362s	just happened to take it
6365s	it's down here
6367s	ah it's cool item but we don't need it
6374s	all right you're working on characters
6376s	animations models Etc yes
6380s	um lots of new animations coming in
6383s	for specific weapon combinations and uh
6386s	classes and certain skills and things
6389s	um
6391s	it's always being tweaked and updated
6392s	we're into the small changes phase there
6395s	won't be any huge overhauls before
6396s	fortnite
6398s	or probably even 1.0 for character stuff
6401s	either
6402s	yeah the most updated stuff gets the
6404s	most outdated stuff gets updated
6407s	I'm gonna put this up now just in case
6409s	it goes down again
6411s	here is uh here's some new Splash Arts
6415s	that I should double check and make sure
6417s	this was this was uh maybe I was allowed
6419s	to post this I'm just gonna double check
6422s	yes I can still post this wonderful
6423s	here's some new Splash art that is

6525s	I'm pretty sure it's to be honest I saw
6528s	that picture today for the first time
6530s	with no context
6532s	um and that's what I saw too was that
6533s	the Dreadnought
6552s	oh

6672s	enemies just so fast yeah just so fast
6675s	gonna go fast
6682s	uh where is there to look forward what
6684s	what does it look forward to 0.9 for
6686s	someone who doesn't care about
6687s	multiplayer great question uh there is a
6690s	Year's worth of content updates and
6693s	patches that we didn't release that are
6696s	also included uh huge performance
6698s	improvements and uh just like New
6702s	Balance changes new
6705s	um like nodes items all sorts of stuff
6708s	all the place little little things
6710s	everywhere
6714s	um the non-multiplayer patch notes for
6716s	it is
6717s	ginormously colossally huge
6720s	uh and you'll have a tough time reading
6722s	through all of it
6731s	new enemies
6734s	um new new VFX new animations new new
6736s	visual things like on hit effects
6738s	um sound effects music changes
6742s	um the animations sound effects yeah I'm

6747s	to level design in certain sections uh
6750s	new new zones all together
6753s	um
6755s	I'm just kind of going through every
6757s	department and just saying new stuff
6758s	from that department
6761s	it's a lot of new stuff it's great
6768s	uh I may ask was it intended not to have
6771s	any sort of projectile Collision on the
6773s	internal test Branch during the last
6775s	test should there be any sort of
6777s	projectile Collision Tech at all uh
6780s	I I don't think that there was no
6784s	collision at all
6787s	um
6788s	like are you saying
6791s	like you shoot a fireball and it never
6792s	hits an enemy it just keeps going
6795s	that was the case that's just a huge bug
6796s	you were having
6798s	um it may have been related to horrible
6799s	lag
6802s	um
6803s	but no the projectile self-collision for
6805s	sure
6810s	will we lose our characters and stuff on
6813s	March 9th
6814s	um well yes but actually no uh so
6818s	all characters that are that were
6821s	created in 0.85 F and earlier are
6825s	offline characters
6826s	offline characters will remain offline
6828s	characters after 0.9 launches if you
6831s	want to play online multiplayer you need
6833s	to make an online multiplayer character
6835s	since you don't have any online
6836s	multiplayer characters yet yeah I think
6837s	a new one for a lot of people characters
6839s	made in offline mode are effectively
6842s	lost because they don't care about it
6843s	once multiplayer launches so in a sense
6846s	kinda but actually no they'll still be
6849s	there and available to play the same way
6850s	they were before
6852s	we're just not going to take any offline
6853s	characters and move them online
6856s	um and another thing that I see posted a
6858s	lot is that what we're gonna this is
6861s	wrong what I'm about to say is wrong I
6863s	see posted a lot is that we're gonna
6864s	take the multiplayer characters from the
6867s	test events that we ran and put them
6868s	into the offline environment we're not
6870s	doing that the multiplayer characters
6872s	that are in the test environments that
6873s	ran for the last two tests and then one
6875s	coming up are not going to be available
6877s	going forward they are temporary
6878s	characters
6882s	I've noticed my arrows passing away
6883s	through walls on the Dreadnought for
6884s	instance yes okay the Dreadnought is a
6887s	edge case
6889s	the turnout walls being flimsy are a
6891s	problem
6897s	I've heard about you wanting to
6899s	implement other leaderboards eventually
6900s	can we get a little bit more info about
6902s	that I mean yeah so this is this is very
6904s	um uh someday hypothetical eventually it
6908s	would be cool if we could do it wouldn't
6909s	it yeah it would be cool if we could do
6911s	it
6912s	um type of uh suggestion so it's we've
6916s	we've talked about having leaderboards
6918s	for weird things
6920s	um and I've I've personally been really
6922s	I love I love watching speedrunning
6924s	stuff I do a little bit of like Zelda
6927s	randomizer stuff
6928s	um and there's a lot of there's a lot of
6930s	really interesting speedrunning
6932s	categories for games like that
6934s	um
6935s	so like one of my favorites is
6937s	um
6938s	there's like a wind waker find uh it's
6941s	like 11 or 13 keys or something which
6943s	you can usually only ever have one or
6944s	two I think and there's like through
6946s	crazy glitches you can get way more keys
6948s	and so it's the race to get that many
6949s	keys
6951s	um and so you can have you can have
6952s	ladders for things that are
6954s	non-traditional effects
6956s	um you could have like first person you
6959s	could like it's kind of just setting up
6960s	a temporary race almost in some cases
6963s	um
6964s	but I think you could do some really
6965s	interesting things there and probably in
6967s	the past I just made up something random
6969s	on the spot as an example so I'll make
6971s	up another random thing on the spot as
6972s	an example
6974s	um like
6976s	like like like uh like a jewelry kill
6979s	speed on a Solo character or something I
6981s	don't know like like how fast can you
6982s	kill Joe on a Solo character
6985s	that like from scratch
6987s	that might be a ladder I guess I don't
6990s	know I don't actually like that one that
6992s	much but you know like there's things
6993s	like that where you can set arbitrary
6995s	goals and head ladders for them and be
6998s	cool
7000s	or like who has the most gold you know
7003s	like just who's got the most goals in
7005s	the inventory I don't know if that one
7006s	either actually like you can
7009s	there's room for non-traditional ladders
7012s	to happen
7014s	eventually initially it'll just be
7016s	traditional ladders
7022s	I think when we have talked about a
7023s	little bit more seriously actually come
7024s	to think of it is
7026s	um
7027s	like uh
7029s	um like monolith clear times
7034s	or uh dungeon clear times so like how
7037s	fast can you do T4 temporal sanction
7039s	from from starting finish
7041s	things like that
7048s	uh can we get event races for 0.91.0.9
7051s	no 1.0 maybe
7054s	uh do you have anyone on the development
7057s	team with a 23x9 monitor yes the game
7059s	director does uh playing through the
7061s	game you see multiple maps on the far
7063s	right side of the screen with level not
7065s	going out far enough showing skywalks I
7067s	know
7068s	uh hey I'm hoping to get some friends
7071s	into the game next weekend uh and was
7073s	wondering if we uh have to do steam
7076s	Branch swapping stuff then I believe so
7078s	yes as I understand you um you had to do
7081s	that for previous multiple test events
7083s	yes
7084s	um
7085s	yeah you should you should be
7087s	oh
