239s Zach yes but before we get to the juicy
243s bits why don't we talk about a few
246s issues that you the player base in the
248s community have been raising and you're
250s still kind of grappling with so let's
252s talk about what changes or updates we
254s have yes so in the earlier episode I
257s think it was back in March which is
259s which was our first live stream we
261s talked about we were looking for ways to
264s optimize servers as well as to help our
267s players reduce Bing starting in June we
270s are collaborating with gear up which is
272s a booster software that will help you
275s guys to reduce your opinion other
277s technical issues so that's really great
279s news so we are inviting players to
283s download the software and give us
284s feedback on this in the next two months
287s so with your feedback we will then
290s decide whether we will continue
291s partnering with it so more details about
294s that will be up on the website so stay
297s tuned for that and it's free right oh
300s yes the most important thing is free so
302s download tell us what what is it did you
306s see any improvements and we will then
308s decide yeah no at the start of season
311s eight we had a wonderful opening of
315s Showdown so we had a new boss and we
317s also had Showdown available on a daily
320s basis now we liked that we know that you
323s love that a lot because everyone wants
325s to play Showdown more frequently and
327s it's kind of hard to only play on the
328s weekends so we raised that feedback with
331s Dave and Dan is actually interested in
333s like looking and seeing how they can
335s increase the frequency of Showdown yeah
338s but they said that they're going to have
340s to wait until there's a bit more content
342s in Showdown so stay tuned for some
344s updated content and more information
346s about the availability of Showdown as we
350s see future releases of that game mode
352s right and speaking of future releases
357s um we read your feedback about the
360s changes we made to Viper and Echo skills
363s about how you guys felt that they were a
366s bit too overpowered and it's probably
368s not the kind of experience that you guys
371s like so we do have some updates our Dev
374s team has made some updates on that and
375s we do have a video about all the updates
378s that's coming to the hero skill so let's
380s roll the tape
383s foreign
421s foreign
447s foreign
473s sugar
485s together
494s foreign
543s yes so we hope you're enjoying hearing
546s some of the improvements we've made to
547s naraka so do continue to give us your
550s feedback and what kind of changes and
552s additions you'd like us to make because
554s Darley and I will then relate to the
557s deaf team so now that we've covered the
560s pain points
561s now I think let's move on to Let's pivot
565s to the topic at hand which is zai yeah a
569s little bit more Twisted let's talk about
571s it and I know you're excited about this
573s I'm excited about it because I learned
575s about her now I know about her now so
577s I'm really excited to share with all of
579s you about that so for those of you
581s who've been following us on social media
582s and for those of you also saw Nat East
584s connect you'll know that we've been
587s teasing Zaya bit but who is this new
590s character what's her story why is she so
593s insane and so much like erfa yes that's
596s a good team that's a good thing no do
598s you think it's a good thing but I don't
600s think it's a good thing you're not as
602s good as mistake but the two of us I
605s think we have like some different sets
607s of knowledge so I've spoken to the
609s design team to kind of get a sense as to
611s like what was the inspiration for her
613s look for her weapons and I heard that
616s like you know like her backstory from
618s the narratives sit down with the
620s narrative team and got a little bit of
623s the backstory so yeah I want to share
626s with you guys so tell me what you want
628s to know well let's start with so for
630s those of you who aren't aware zai is
632s actually Tarka G's sister so let's talk
636s about that they're siblings did they
638s grow up together what's their childhood
640s like
641s so yeah
642s so they got separated at a very young
646s age so when zai was a baby a man
650s actually came to her father and told him
655s that the that one day his daughter will
658s be the one responsible for causing a
661s terrible Calamity oh that sounds ominous
664s yeah so upon hearing that prophecy the
668s her father is me initially planned to
671s kill zai okay dad wants to kill his
675s brother I know just because he hears
677s some random random man just came to you
680s and could talk to you about so but the
682s good thing is he didn't go with that
684s plan because he in in the last moment he
687s lost that nerve he don't have the heart
690s to do that but he sent her a way to live
694s with their nanny
697s yes okay
700s yes the dad returned home and then made
703s up this whole story including in front
705s of Tarka and said that zai actually got
708s kidnapped by The Outlaws so so the
711s family believes that she's been
713s kidnapped by these Outlaws but
716s you know like I mean if I'm a if I play
719s Tarka a lot so I'm assuming like we all
721s know Tark is a very hot-headed like
723s drunken kind of guy like I'm sure he
726s probably even in his youth was willing
728s to be like well I'm gonna go and just
730s save my sister yeah so does he not go
733s after it did they not contact like the
734s police like come on yeah
739s letting everyone absorb about that yeah
743s so basically you're right Tarka actually
745s went and you know looked for her to
748s bring her back home but he discovers
752s that Zai who was once an innocent like
756s baby sister is not that anymore she has
760s become evil evil she's A Deadly Assassin
764s so because of that Tarka sort of like
766s struggle because he can't really bring
768s her home because she's completely a
770s different person she has a completely
773s different life but we know that like the
776s story I know is that Tarka has never
778s given up on that he will try to change
782s her and he will always try to bring her
784s home so okay well maybe do you think
787s that's why he's drinking all the time
789s yeah he's depressed like someone needs
791s to sit down with Tarka and in a bar
795s and let her let him share his feelings
798s Chad do you think that Turk is depressed
800s is that what he drinks can they can he
803s see some like some Theory crafting in
805s real time what do you think is he
806s drinking because he's sad because his
808s sister is like you know yeah
815s okay so okay so you send that link so so
818s far it sounds like a weird story so her
820s dad tried to kill her but then gives her
822s to the Nani and then how does she end up
826s being like a killer because I mean like
829s from what the designers told me she's
831s affiliated with this organization called
833s Annika right so like how did she become
835s an assassin because
837s I'm not seeing the correlation between
839s your Nanny deadly buckle up hold on to
843s that reaching plush because we know that
845s that is a sensitive guy
848s all right so basically this is where I
851s get very twisted and this is where it
853s gets very dark so apparently and
856s ironically the further attempt to save
859s the prophecy is actually the one that
862s caused her to become evil so you would
865s think that you know zai is living like
868s nice and dandy with the nanny but no The
871s Nanny actually sent Seoul Zai to human
876s traffickers oh God
883s and let it sink in like the life
888s for his eye has to deal with like nobody
891s loves her nobody wants her like the
894s father sent her away the nanny that's
896s supposed to take care of her sold her
899s like obviously
901s yeah so because of that she just
904s spiraled deeper and deeper into this
908s dark underworld and she is now the cool
911s heartless killer she is today because
913s she is so like removed from emotions
916s from warmth from whatever that you and I
919s know right and hold on to so she doesn't
922s know any of that because she's every
924s person that she's met in her life
926s disappoint her yeah they've just all
928s betrayed her in some form or fashion
930s exactly that's just really sad man yes
932s so I learned from The Narrative team is
935s that she actually escaped from the Human
937s traffickers by killing all of them oh
940s yeah well that's one way to do it with
943s her for that
946s true and I don't know like learn like
950s what she just needs to escape and I
952s guess all the rest that build up and
954s then she just went on a killing spree
956s and because of that violence trick that
961s attracted Anika which is the
963s organization she is in they eventually
966s recruited her
967s so this is great for Zai because it gave
971s her the perfect Outlet to hone her
973s skills and at the same time you know
975s continue on her killing spree and also
978s be rewarded for it like it's like a
980s paint job he's she's a paid assassin
983s right yeah I mean like her life has been
986s so hard like I she's she seems like so
990s smart I can't help but empathize with
992s her right yeah I'm feeling a bit sad for
996s her I mean I wonder is is she does she
998s present as gloomy because you know Tarka
1000s is always like you know happy go lucky
1002s like chug chug chug or ooh let the booze
1005s flow like you know those are his like
1007s kind of famous voice lines so like what
1010s do you know what her voice links are
1012s going to be like yeah I got to see a
1014s couple of the voice lines so like the
1016s narrative team really want to convey
1018s like the how insane and twisted zai is
1022s like you
1025s so basically like one of the one of the
1028s lines that I really like is she said
1031s standing in the field of corpses is all
1034s I ever dreamed of oh please don't I will
1037s record that and make that turn that into
1039s your alarm no that's an HR that's gonna
1042s happen that's gonna happen Daddy no
1044s that's a violation violation
1046s so yeah that's really like zai whole
1050s backstory now that you learn her and her
1053s character and how she came to be evil
1057s um so let's talk about like her design
1060s outfit design and inspiration I know
1064s that you have all the scoop on that so I
1066s do I do I do I mean now I understand why
1069s Target drinks I really do this is a lot
1072s so
1074s um I spoke to some of the designers and
1075s a lot of the inspiration for zai's
1078s outfit really comes from this famous
1080s Chinese myth so in this myth there are
1084s these two deities that help to take
1087s um The Souls of The Departed to the
1089s underworld
1090s don't get excited it's gonna be like a
1092s horror
1094s excited because the next part is what
1095s you're not gonna like so they actually
1098s punish the evil doers done in the
1101s Underworld
1103s so yeah so you know what that means erfa
1105s for you I'm not evil I just like
1108s okay okay
1111s yes we all know but um so essentially
1115s they really wanted to give her this like
1117s feel that so sorry the the two deities
1119s are the like the white guard and The
1121s Black Guard and she's more based on the
1123s white guard so they really wanted to
1126s give her kind of like you know that
1128s dominant tricks oh yeah I do see that
1130s it's that sexy pose and the like
1133s stalking they want her to be alluring
1136s which makes sense because you know you
1138s wanted to be able to infiltrate
1139s organizations maybe she seduces her foes
1142s before killing them or maybe she just
1144s uses it to like escape from like like
1147s hairy situations but they also wanted
1150s her to have a practical kind of like
1153s outfit and set of clothing because
1155s realistically she's an assassin she used
1158s to be able to be able in and out and not
1160s really attract too much attention so a
1163s lot of her design is like focused on
1166s really barring this idea from the myth
1169s of like these long Majestic
1171s um white robes with intricate designs
1174s this like Majestic headgear that kind of
1177s like hints at her like official status
1179s yeah as somebody who serves Annika but
1182s also they don't really want to attract
1184s too much attention to her so she doesn't
1186s have like a lot of gold in her
1188s presentation it's more muted colors like
1191s white blacks yeah and
1194s of course she has jeans
1197s but not the kind of changes that I would
1199s wear but you you guys can see what kind
1201s of chains
1203s because I'm keeping it yeah spg-13 yes
1210s um but yeah so let's talk so we talked a
1212s little bit about her outfit she is you
1215s know as I mentioned she works for Annika
1217s my understanding is that Annika serves
1220s the government so in actual reality
1225s good
1228s does that make sense to me because all
1230s the civil servants that I know are just
1233s like you know
1235s you never know in the shadows yeah maybe
1238s I need to be careful in Ottawa yeah
1240s maybe
1243s okay
1244s so we talked a little bit about her
1246s outfit but I think what I was really
1249s confused by and I'm sure a lot of you
1251s watching my homework confused by is why
1253s does she not look Lazer yeah
1256s do they they don't look like siblings
1259s right they don't look like they're
1261s related to me yeah
1262s I don't know so I asked the design team
1265s about this and they actually started
1268s telling me about why they chose this
1270s direction for her so as we all know
1273s Tarka is very vibrant he's like full of
1276s energy he has warm tones warm colors
1279s they wanted to really go with a more
1282s direct contrast someone that's a lot
1285s colder devoid of end of life kind of
1289s like you know depressing gloomy so
1292s that's why they went for like a pale
1294s skin tone for her
1297s backstory like the colors of Life sort
1300s of like zepped out of her that's why
1302s they chose that color yeah now I get it
1304s and for her skills and her weapon design
1306s they really wanted to like mimic that
1309s kind of idea of like this disharmony
1312s through like the use of like this black
1316s smoke and really cool blue flame I
1318s really like that two colors together so
1321s this is her
1322s um signature weapon and think right now
1325s it's called the chance life don't quote
1326s me on that chat don't hold me to that
1329s that might not be the final name but
1332s is really based on two classical
1335s flexible weapons so it's based on the
1338s Rope Dart and the chain whip and what I
1343s really like about the design is it's me
1345s to really act as a catalyst to carry her
1349s flame so I like how it starts with the
1352s dark blue and then it gets brighter and
1354s brighter almost like it's mimicking like
1357s an actual flame and the reason why they
1360s also kept the flame bit is because while
1362s she's a descendant of the G family and
1364s the g family as well from Tarka yeah
1368s they can manipulate fire so that's a
1370s really cool way of like incorporating
1372s her flame ability but not in a
1375s straightforward job she fires a fireball
1378s is actually using her weapon as a
1381s catalyst for the Flames very clever I
1384s actually like that I really like that
1385s yeah so let's take a little bit of a
1387s look at her motion capture I think we
1390s can see like how the weapon actually
1392s forms so
1394s she's so so the whip is not sorry or
1397s sorry the Chain's life is not really
1398s meant to be like a lasso so it's not so
1401s we're not doing Wonder Woman here yeah
1402s she's not lassoing to get the enemies
1405s nearer or capture the enemies she's like
1407s you're dead yeah that's it the blade is
1410s designed really to like
1412s slash I like to tear her opponents
1415s whether it's decapitating them slitting
1418s their throats yeah it's really meant to
1420s be a quick fast way for you to execute
1423s your enemies So in theory if you're
1426s seeing the blade coming to you by the
1428s time you see it you're probably dead
1437s I love it though like I really like
1439s Assassin type of play style and you know
1442s how I like Matari so I might need to
1444s pack Mata refer a bit and try his eye
1446s wow
1447s I mean I still love her I still love her
1450s wow I think those are all of the main
1452s things I wanted to cover with her design
1454s and with I'm sure like there's no other
1457s really big story pieces we need to talk
1459s about at this point right I think those
1461s are the main things yes yeah so
1464s look at her look at this key art isn't
1466s she gorgeous she's so gorgeous but look
1468s at her face that face is full of a hate
1471s guys oh we didn't mention there's one
1475s other piece of her design we didn't
1476s mention but you can see it really well
1478s in this key art you can see her veil yes
1483s it kind of looks like a visor but it's
1486s not what do you think it's for
1488s to because she has blue eyes so like she
1492s might be sensitive to sunlight oh
1495s not your final answer what do you think
1496s chat do you think she has the veil
1498s because she's sensitive to
1501s um light do you think that's what it is
1510s wow people are saying that they care
1512s about Matari and do you want a wallpaper
1514s of this yeah we can get a wallpaper of
1515s this later
1517s she got it
1519s if you want
1520s [Music]
1520s [Laughter]
1523s how's she cracking us up okay no so the
1526s real answer is the reason why she has
1528s this thin veil is so that she can scope
1531s out her Targets in broad daylight
1532s without attracting too much attention so
1535s is she doesn't want to appear like she's
1537s looking yeah ah sly
1540s okay okay
1541s so tomorrow we're actually going to be
1544s premiering her gameplay showcase so you
1546s will get to see her in action see what
1549s her skills are and of course as always
1551s we welcome your feedback yes
1554s right talking about that I mean like we
1557s did a competition on social media where
1560s you guys helped Tarka remember his
1563s sister I think we got our five winners

1665s means if you've got to try that with a
1667s course you're gonna get to try it's like
1668s early get to see what her skills are

1676s changes for her and we really really
1679s appreciate all of the effort that you
1682s all do in like playing her telling us
1684s what you like and it just makes her a
1686s better character overall yes your

1690s website on social and we'll let you know
1692s all the full details about the test
1694s server access
1695s right so the second thing that we like
1697s to share with you is that we've added a
1699s new feature to our game where you have
1702s to protect a specific location for a set
1705s duration of time where it will instantly
1708s allow you to upgrade your armor your
1711s weapon to the next tier but beware
1714s though enemies can come and crash and
1717s claim the rewards all for themselves so
1720s look out for your surround AKA look out
1722s for people like irfa

1860s can share it with the rest of the
1862s community so the last secret that I have
1864s from moonbean is actually that the
1867s monkey God himself is coming to naraka
1872s introducing our newest sun ring Relic
1875s skin which will come later this season a
1878s Wukong skin
1879s doesn't he look good I mean look at that
1881s really fur look at the camp like he has
1885s I think it's a cape I can't see the back
1886s but I think it's a cape I mean he looks
1888s really good look that eyes
1891s I know that he's gonna be probably my
1894s favorite costume yeah I think I think so
1896s now Moonbeam didn't tell me which
1898s character is getting this so
1900s unfortunately I cannot share that with
1901s you told me though what do you mean he
1904s told you he didn't tell you anything he
1905s took me because I paid him that hundred
1908s dollars
1908s see chat this is what he put it with
1910s this is
1912s so you're gonna tell me after the stream
1914s right
1915s if you pay me
1922s find out more about when you can get
1923s this skin in game
1925s so the other God that we all know that
