| 75s | convergence so it's going to be year two |
| 77s | of winter convergence and we have one |
| 80s | significant addition that's coming this |
| 82s | year but just to recap uh it's our |
| 85s | winter festival that takes place in a |
| 87s | tournament during this time when the |
| 88s | Northern Lights come out and giant |
| 90s | gleamites just start falling from the |
| 92s | sky and you collect presents all for the |
| 95s | winter Wanderer who's trying to prevent |
| 97s | the forever winter from occurring on a |
| 100s | tournament but this year we're bringing |
| 102s | the winter warrior he's the big Baddie |
| 105s | uh Chad why don't you tell us about this |
| 107s | big Baddie who's gonna just start |
| 109s | invading the world yeah he's out there |

| 113s | uh the winter warrior is another uh |
| 116s | large formats uh enemy for for uh for |
| 120s | all you players out there so similar to |
| 122s | the Halloween event uh definitely plan |
| 125s | on bringing lots of your friends uh |
| 127s | shooting for somewhere in the order of |
| 128s | 15 to 20. so it takes a good amount of |
| 130s | people uh he'll be spawning out in the |
| 132s | world in multiple locations just like |
| 134s | Halloween and uh and he's a he's a big |
| 137s | giant fight so he's out there he's got |
| 139s | lots of uh lots of little uh kind of |
| 141s | Minion friends out to uh to help him out |
| 143s | in the fight the uh The Frigid folk The |
| 145s | Frigid folk the the eye striads |
| 148s | um so uh he himself uh has lots of uh |
| 151s | fun kind of challenging abilities it'll |
| 153s | be raining down uh these big giant hail |
| 156s | Stones uh creating shock waves to make |
| 159s | them explode and uh and generally making |
| 162s | life everyone's lives a little bit of |
| 164s | trouble this is trying to bring forever |
| 166s | winners he's got to bring the ice right |
| 168s | absolutely so uh so yeah he's a nice big |
| 171s | event there uh pretty meaty and like I |
| 173s | said bring lots of friends and uh and |
| 175s | should uh provide a lot of fun I'm very |
| 176s | excited because it's also bringing some |
| 178s | new rewards and whole bunch Quest but |
| 180s | again what's awesome about this time of |
| 182s | year is what happens to all the |
| 185s | surroundings including the settlements |
| 186s | uh Sean what was kind of like our |
| 189s | inspiration and like how we drove to the |
| 191s | visual look of our settlements well the |
| 194s | thing about winter conversions this year |
| 195s | is because this is our second time go |
| 197s | around so we've discussed it last year |
| 199s | we really wanted to bring something |
| 201s | bright and festive to New World to |
| 203s | eternum and we wanted something colorful |
| 205s | we I started with the Aurora Borealis |
| 208s | wanted to have our own color theme to |
| 210s | what what winter would look like or what |
| 212s | holiday look like in a tournament so we |
| 215s | have our you know purples and our tails |
| 217s | and our gold colors every |
| 220s | settlement gets decorated with all these |
| 222s | decorations and then what's great about |
| 224s | this year is the brimstone sayings this |
| 226s | is brimstone Saints first event so |
| 227s | brimstones is fully decorated down it's |
| 229s | gonna feel like on the holiday in July |
| 231s | like everything's like hot on the |
| 233s | outside and then it's really cold on the |
| 235s | inside guys yeah nice contrast yeah it |
| 239s | looks amazing I've already seen what |
| 240s | Brimstone looks like and the settlement |
| 242s | looks amazing and I know that we |
| 244s | introduced some new skins and we've |
| 246s | introduced you know a lot of new |
| 247s | features and we've just like really |
| 249s | scaled up what winter convergence was |
| 251s | last year and you know made it better |
| 253s | for this year and make it new for |
| 255s | returning players but making it fresh |
| 257s | and big for players who maybe haven't |
| 259s | experienced it yet oh that's pretty |
| 260s | awesome and that's a great add to this |
| 263s | December but there's one other special |
| 265s | treat that we have in store for |
| 266s | everybody and uh hopefully you had a |
| 268s | chance to play in the PTR it's the |
| 270s | starstone amrein mashup and so we know |
| 274s | there is a lot of requests to have a lot |
| 276s | of our early game Expeditions available |
| 279s | for late and end game players and so we |
| 281s | spent a lot of time looking at like okay |
| 283s | well how do we get it to that parody and |
| 286s | starstone and amrein are connected in |
| 289s | the lore and as a matter fact you see |
| 292s | in certain areas like the connections |
| 295s | and the paths in the background that |
| 296s | actually link the two locations together |
| 298s | and so what we did is |
| 300s | within starstone you have to go through |
| 302s | that entrance is you have access to this |
| 305s | mutation which now expands it and now it |
| 308s | includes the fight with Foreman |
| 309s | Nakashima and Simon gray so that's added |
| 312s | to this experience and there's some new |
| 314s | routes that you have to go through |
| 315s | through the starstone Expedition itself |
| 318s | and so now it's this all-encompassing |
| 320s | kind of end game activity still intact |
| 323s | with the cool lasers and unique puzzles |
| 325s | and also with the fight with Grendel but |
| 328s | now it's it's been leveled up for end |
| 330s | game play yeah I'm super happy we're |
| 332s | able to revisit that because a lot of |
| 334s | people didn't get that much time to |
| 335s | enjoy it especially with kind of our new |
| 337s | leveling curve it's really quite quick |
| 339s | uh which is great but you don't get to |
| 341s | spend as much time in those Expeditions |
| 343s | so it's really great to be able to |
| 344s | revisit yeah so hopefully everyone gets |
| 346s | a chance to play it in the PTR love your |
| 348s | feedback and then as well as soon as it |
| 350s | goes live it's going to be right into |
| 352s | the rotation so we're super excited |
| 353s | about that so thanks guys and everybody |
| 356s | we'll see you in a tournament |
| 358s | [Music] |
| 361s | foreign |
| 363s | we're going to talk a little bit about |
| 365s | territory mechanics uh and talk about |
| 368s | three different changes we're making to |
| 369s | it uh with me is Dan the social lead |
| 372s | this way Rachel one of the designers on |
| 375s | the social team all right let's talk |
| 377s | first about shell companies they're |
| 379s | definitely a problem in New World uh |
| 381s | we're starting to take some action talk |
| 383s | to us through what we're doing yeah |
| 384s | absolutely |
| 386s | um I realized that before we haven't |
| 387s | really talked about first of what shell |
| 389s | companies are so maybe maybe what our |
| 392s | shell companies lots of turtles Right |
| 393s | lots of turtles |
| 397s | um yeah so shell companies are when a |
| 400s | company will make a little offshoot tiny |
| 403s | company to go around in the world and |
| 405s | try to own multiple territories to |
| 408s | um to they use the different companies |
| 410s | to get around some of our civil war |
| 413s | windows and circumvent those things |
| 416s | um and so we're making a few changes to |
| 419s | help mitigate that issue uh the first |
| 423s | one that we're doing is a company leave |
| 425s | cooldown so for 72 hours after you leave |
| 429s | a company you won't be able to |
| 431s | participate in any territory control |
| 433s | activities with another company so |
| 437s | things like the influence game right or |
| 439s | things like that yeah exactly still join |
| 441s | another company run around have fun |
| 442s | because now we see people just kind of |
| 444s | have like five companies like all day |
| 448s | long yeah exactly yeah so we want to |
| 450s | prevent that |
| 451s | um it's not really how we intended that |
| 454s | gameplay to be made |
| 456s | that's a weird phrasing we'll keep going |
| 459s | um and then we're gonna it's only weird |
| 460s | if you call attention to it |
| 462s | and then we're also doing |
| 465s | a war roster limitation do you want to |
| 467s | talk about the war roster limits I'd |
| 469s | love to uh yeah so with with the change |
| 472s | of the the cooldown |
| 474s | um you know that wouldn't really |
| 475s | accomplish much if you didn't have uh so |
| 477s | basically what's going to happen is you |
| 479s | in order to fight a war especially on |
| 481s | defense |
| 482s | um it becomes important so that you you |
| 484s | have to fight the war as the company and |
| 487s | the way we're going to do that is uh |
| 488s | with a mercenary limit so a mercenary |
| 490s | being somebody like not from the company |
| 492s | who's fighting in the war which we like |
| 494s | we want to see that because we want |
| 495s | people to like be able to especially |
| 496s | like defend their faction but when |
| 498s | you're on defense |
| 500s | um the number is 10 you get 10 |
| 502s | mercenaries to use in a war and then |
| 504s | when you're on attack uh this is |
| 506s | something we adjusted in PTR we went out |
| 508s | we set that at 40 because we like the |
| 510s | idea of companies being able to recruit |
| 512s | recruit and like yeah like let's go get |
| 515s | a territory |
| 516s | um and we want to try to keep that in so |
| 517s | it's it's still less uh than on defense |
| 520s | but now it's 25. okay so on defense |
| 523s | there's 40 company members or to 50 |
| 525s | depending on what you want and then on |
| 527s | attack it's 25. |
| 530s | and one more and one more there will be |
| 532s | a daily War limit so everyone can |
| 535s | participate in one attacking war and one |
| 538s | defensive War a day that resets every |
| 540s | day at 5am so you know if you have any 6 |
| 543s | a.m meetings for Wars like you'll be |
| 546s | good and I heard this is per account |
| 548s | right Dan to sort of help some of the |
| 551s | people that might have multiple |
| 552s | characters correct uh yeah and it's it's |
| 555s | it's meant to um I mean it's cross-board |
| 558s | everybody has this limit now so you know |
| 560s | it's the the intent is for there to be |
| 563s | more available War slots for everybody |
| 564s | yeah and to be clear too it's not |
| 567s | account it's a count per world so if you |
| 570s | have characters across multiple worlds |
| 572s | You're Gonna Go you can have wars in all |
| 574s | of them if you want to but if you have |
| 575s | two characters on One World that limit |
| 577s | applies to both of them combined true |
| 579s | and you know if we're we're gonna we |
| 582s | can't wait to see what happens after |
| 583s | December this is not a nice this is not |
| 586s | the end of what we do right um because |
| 587s | we're pretty sure we've like there are |
| 589s | other things that we might need to |
| 591s | address yeah and I think keeping in mind |
| 593s | our high level goal here is important |
| 595s | right our goal was to allow more people |
| 597s | to participate in war and not to have |
| 599s | like a small group of people be able to |
| 601s | control multiple multiple territories so |
| 603s | that's a goal we're going to keep |
| 604s | pushing hopefully these make meaningful |
| 606s | changes if not we'll make a make some |
| 608s | more keep going yeah absolutely let's |
| 610s | talk about something else crafting so uh |
| 613s | you've been on the Fresh Start worlds |
| 614s | like a lot of times I'll see in chat |
| 616s | where's our tier five you know Alchemy |
| 617s | Station or something uh so it can be |
| 620s | sometimes frustrating when like the PVP |
| 623s | parts of the world affect my abilities |
| 624s | do crafting uh any thoughts on how we |
| 627s | might be able to rectify this yeah so in |
| 630s | December we're making crafting tier |
| 631s | changes again they're on the PTR |
| 633s | um beforehand to be able to see them but |
| 637s | basically ungating a lot of recipes |
| 640s | behind the tiers so any procedural |
| 642s | recipes so recipes that you know you can |
| 644s | have multiple choice inputs for your |
| 647s | ingredients so a lot of those recipes |
| 650s | are now going to be completely unlocked |
| 652s | it doesn't matter what tier the station |
| 654s | is at you'll be able to do a tier five |
| 656s | procedural recipe a lot of named items |
| 659s | are remaining locked we still want tier |
| 661s | five stations to be something to strive |
| 663s | for and really aim for |
| 665s | um but so a lot of the named items and |
| 668s | other big ones are still locked and |
| 671s | things like our canis or Arcana |
| 673s | repository it's a longboard |
| 676s | it'll have things like you know the the |
| 679s | Mana and the health potions are unlocked |
| 681s | by all of our specialty ones will remain |
| 683s | locked underneath so I can make tier |
| 685s | five health potions you make tier five |
| 687s | health potions anywhere you want another |
| 690s | nice reason to upgrade because one of |
| 692s | the dangers here is that people might |
| 694s | not upgrade now that everything's |
| 695s | unlocked but one of the nice changes is |
| 697s | with the income changes we made in the |
| 699s | past the income that towns make is |
| 701s | dependent on the total territory level |
| 703s | sorry the town level so they still have |
| 705s | good reasons to upgrade there and |
| 707s | there's other side benefits like you |
| 708s | said the named are there any other |
| 710s | benefits to upgrading uh there's uh also |
| 713s | going to be A's off discounts so if you |
| 715s | like using your up your eyes off to get |
| 718s | a chance at extra perks and everything |
| 719s | as the stations upgrade you'll have a |
| 722s | discount on your ease off awesome |
| 725s | well sometimes when we make changes uh |
| 728s | there are unintended consequences |
| 732s | this might have been mine Dave does his |
| 734s | best to cover for us we appreciate that |
| 737s | uh so I did not like the experience that |
| 741s | people were having a lot at the start |
| 742s | where you were able to power level |
| 744s | through the game by doing Town projects |
| 746s | especially if you're in a company or |
| 748s | some way to get a lot of money not that |
| 749s | anyone would rmt in the game uh you were |
| 751s | able to use that coin to quickly level |
| 753s | up and it just sort of circumvented all |
| 755s | the gameplay we put and didn't feel like |
| 757s | a good loophole so uh we slashed the XP |
| 760s | uh from Town Projects did that have any |
| 763s | uh consequences that we weren't |
| 765s | anticipating they did have some |
| 767s | consequences let me just say that |
| 769s | changed so I'm level 52 on a fresh |
| 771s | starts right now I'm done not done a |
| 772s | single Town project yeah and it's it's |
| 774s | going fast it's great but yeah there was |
| 777s | a second I think we're happy with the |
| 778s | impact of that but there might have been |
| 780s | a side effect there was a side effect we |
| 782s | did see a lot of territories not |
| 784s | upgrading |
| 785s | um because people weren't naturally |
| 787s | motivated to go do those Town Projects |
| 789s | anymore so we are drastically reducing |
| 792s | the amount of contribution required to |
| 795s | actually complete those Town Projects |
| 798s | and so it'll be like I think we're |
| 801s | cutting it by like 70 80 percent like |
| 803s | it's a pretty pretty solid chunk of |
| 806s | contribution that will no longer be |
| 807s | required come the December update so |
| 810s | hopefully that will help people's really |
| 812s | complete their territory projects and |
| 815s | obviously we'll continue to look at them |
| 817s | and and see what else we can do with it |
| 819s | so those company members that like it's |
| 821s | now within Striking Distance for a |
| 822s | company to be able to upgrade all their |
| 824s | own stations so that they can get that |
| 825s | money yeah there is still a time limit |
| 828s | though right before a project completes |
| 830s | so you can't sort of do them all in one |
| 831s | day right no no yeah so yeah once uh |
| 834s | that time limits will still be there |
| 837s | um but yeah like you said one a company |
| 839s | could do it as a fun company activity |
| 841s | we'll be easy it won't be easy well I |
| 844s | love the changes in the territory game |
| 845s | this is you know a big part of our game |
| 847s | so we're going to keep keep working on |
| 848s | it keep improving it uh thanks |
| 853s | [Music] |
| 859s | you almost feel like we need a drum roll |
| 862s | um but I do want to talk a little bit |
| 863s | before we get to the road map |
| 865s | specifics |
| 867s | a roadmap is just that it's not a hard |
| 869s | commitment on everything like things |
| 871s | change in development we could run into |
| 872s | problems things might come in a little |
| 874s | later I've even once or twice heard of |
| 875s | things coming in early in-game |
| 877s | development but it's very it's very |
| 878s | random and rare |
| 879s | uh and your feedback may change some of |
| 881s | our thinking as we get going but right |
| 884s | now this is what it looks like for us so |
| 886s | let's start with spring |
| 887s | first deliverable we can talk about in |
| 890s | Spring is the Imperium Forge Expedition |
| 892s | nice uh so the Imperium Ford Expedition |
| 895s | is a first part of a two-part story |
| 899s | right so this is a storytelling piece |
| 901s | we're going to start with the varangians |
| 903s | and there's a lot of fire elements uh |
| 905s | it's gonna be pretty cool yeah it's |
| 907s | exciting every time we do a new |
| 908s | Expedition it kind of changes like some |
| 909s | of the end game and it gets really fun |
| 911s | well I think another this will be the |
| 913s | first time you fight uh humanoids it's |
| 915s | sort of like the main enemy type right |
| 917s | so that might come with some new |
| 918s | itemization potentially uh so they need |
| 921s | stuff there |
| 922s | yeah it's all about the rewards |
| 924s | uh all right well the next one |
| 927s | people have mentioned this next one um |
| 929s | that they've wanted it so another spring |
| 931s | item is gear set storage |
| 933s | woo |
| 935s | oh my gosh sorry I'm really excited |
| 938s | about this so I am a crafter and I also |
| 941s | run mutations right so I have all my |
| 943s | different crafting sets and I have |
| 945s | different sets for each mutation every |
| 946s | time so now I'll be able to quickly swap |
| 948s | in and out of these things it's super |
| 950s | exciting see I play the trading post |
| 952s | game and I run mutations so I need all |
| 955s | of the luck gear that I can possibly get |
| 958s | on so that I get as much as I can but I |
| 959s | also need to switch into tank or DPS |
| 962s | depending on what they need so this is |
| 964s | going to be super exciting I'm very |
| 967s | stoked on this one yeah us being class a |
| 969s | game without classes uh it's gonna be a |
| 972s | game changer being able to just quickly |
| 974s | get between those classes and play the |
| 976s | game different or or like you said into |
| 978s | crafting or other stuff it's yeah |
| 981s | players have asked for it and they're |
| 982s | totally right the game is going to be |
| 984s | much better for it super excited |
| 987s | um well since it's spring we have |
| 989s | another event we're going to introduce |
| 990s | the spring tide Bloom which |
| 993s | uh visually aesthetically it's it's uh |
| 997s | the set pieces are amazing |
| 999s | um you want to talk a little bit about |
| 1000s | the event well so when you go into town |
| 1001s | like you said we're going to do a full |
| 1003s | makeover of the towns again which is |
| 1004s | going to be great uh and then there's an |
| 1006s | activity where you go out uh you capture |
| 1008s | bugs I think it is okay most is fun to |
| 1012s | watch the struggle |
| 1016s | there's a spray where you capture bugs I |
| 1019s | think you turn them in for tokens |
| 1020s | there's the whole store mechanic as |
| 1022s | usual so you'll be able to choose which |
| 1023s | rewards you buy that's gonna be a lot of |
| 1025s | fun yeah I mean anytime we do like the |
| 1027s | world changing events those are a lot of |
| 1028s | fun so we're gonna keep doing those as |
| 1031s | we move forward because we know the |
| 1032s | players like it and we like the visual |
| 1034s | interest that they bring in yeah and |
| 1036s | like uh not to go backward but like we |
| 1038s | talked about in the winter convergence |
| 1040s | every time these events come back around |
| 1042s | on the calendar we're going to make them |
| 1044s | a little better we're going to lean into |
| 1045s | them a little more we're going to apply |
| 1047s | more of the feedback so the first one is |
| 1049s | pretty I remember what it is |
| 1052s | you you harvest spring-tied flowers and |
| 1055s | there's bugs around so you need a |
| 1057s | repellent to protect it from the bugs |
| 1059s | for the players to know we're much |
| 1061s | better at this when we've played these |
| 1062s | and these are right now not quite |
| 1063s | playable yet so once they become |
| 1065s | playable we'll be a lot better at |
| 1066s | commenting on them uh and then the last |
| 1068s | thing is is something that uh we've |
| 1071s | talked about a little bit which is we're |
| 1072s | going to do another another round at our |
| 1074s | improving the main story uh line quests |
| 1076s | and you know the response to what we saw |
| 1079s | with uh windsword and Monarch Bluff was |
| 1081s | really positive so we're going to just |
| 1083s | take that a little further and uh if you |
| 1084s | want to go into some details yeah I mean |
| 1085s | I Think So the plan is to do it in the |
| 1087s | next two zones so we'll do it in Weavers |
| 1089s | and Brightwood uh and some of the big |
| 1091s | things we liked is we liked bringing the |
| 1092s | quest closer together so there was less |
| 1094s | running adding more Quest variety and |
| 1096s | there's also some cool encounter changes |
| 1098s | in there to bring in a little more of |
| 1099s | like those open world boss fights so I |
| 1101s | think some of the storytelling also is |
| 1103s | going to be a little more uh |
| 1105s | crystallize for the players it's going |
| 1106s | to be more clear for sure and full vo is |
| 1108s | Big right so every Quest will be fully |
| 1110s | vo'd yep all right well that takes us |
| 1112s | into summer |
| 1114s | um so my hat throwing moment would be |
| 1116s | this first feature I'm going to talk |
| 1117s | about inside Dave has a couple there we |
| 1119s | go my hat throwing moment is going to be |
| 1122s | transmog uh this is something I've been |
| 1125s | wanting for a while in the game I know |
| 1126s | some players have mentioned it |
| 1129s | um the ability to have agency Express |
| 1131s | Yourself however you want to call it I'm |
| 1133s | so excited to get this in and uh |
| 1137s | yeah I'm likely to want to keep some of |
| 1139s | the stuff I got on the beach I said we'd |
| 1141s | love to wear so I'm really excited about |
| 1143s | making up getting in and decorating like |
| 1145s | that yeah I don't know about the stuff |
| 1146s | on the beach but there's a lot of things |
| 1148s | around the world like you know Thorpe's |
| 1150s | Helm I would like to keep that but once |
| 1153s | you hit like it's good for a pretty long |
| 1155s | time but once you hit Level 50 it's and |
| 1158s | 60 for sure it's not super great but I |
| 1161s | like the way it looks and I would love |
| 1162s | to still have that on my character's |
| 1165s | face right now so I am holding on to it |
| 1168s | I think the collection mechanics really |
| 1169s | cool like being able to see all the |
| 1171s | potentials and like I'm going to want to |
| 1172s | check them all off this sort of |
| 1174s | completionist totally |
| 1176s | that's exciting can't wait to min max my |
| 1178s | way through transmog Drew will have a |
| 1180s | spreadsheet |
| 1183s | all right well the next one we're going |
| 1184s | to talk about is raid groups |
| 1188s | raid groups is big uh literally because |
| 1190s | it's a big group sorry so raid groups is |
| 1193s | an opportunity to bring four different |
| 1196s | groups of players together uh to create |
| 1198s | 20 person groups uh so it's going to be |
| 1201s | a way to sort of do larger scale content |
| 1203s | which is a great segue to our really |
| 1206s | cool thing that's happening I was gonna |
| 1207s | say because why do we need raid groups |
| 1209s | uh |
| 1210s | that giant thing you see in Brimstone |
| 1212s | well you're finally going to get a |
| 1214s | chance to take it down uh the sand |
| 1215s | wormly trial so I'm very excited about |
| 1218s | this what is the coolest part about this |
| 1219s | is it is going to be our hardest to date |
| 1221s | PVE content like as we're designing it |
| 1224s | I'm telling people if we can beat it |
| 1226s | internally it's too easy like this we |
| 1228s | want this to be like the ultimate uh so |
| 1231s | it gives you something to Aspire to as a |
| 1232s | PVE person because I think PVP players |
| 1234s | have wars and they have things where |
| 1236s | they can really Flex their high-end gear |
| 1238s | PVE players don't have enough of that |
| 1240s | and this is going to be like you need a |
| 1242s | fully coordinated group of 20 people you |
| 1244s | need Max everything to really defeat |
| 1246s | this |
| 1246s | I can't wait like it's going to be so |
| 1248s | fun and you know we have we some of the |
| 1250s | ideas we've been tossing around are |
| 1251s | really exciting and it's going to be |
| 1253s | good to put that into the rotation along |
| 1254s | with you know Lee chest runs having the |
| 1257s | sand worm Elite trial it's going to be |
| 1259s | really exciting yeah just from the |
| 1261s | moment you see it you know you want to |
| 1262s | fight it like right now I see it in |
| 1264s | Tombstone and I'm like oh I can't wait |
| 1265s | till summer it's going to be awesome |
| 1268s | uh all right well the next one's another |
| 1269s | one that a lot of players have asked for |
| 1271s | which is |
| 1273s | um |
| 1274s | opr crossworld so other you'll be able |
| 1277s | to play against other people in your |
| 1280s | region in opr uh goal being get you that |
| 1283s | content faster so if your server has |
| 1285s | cues uh waiting for opr they should be a |
| 1288s | lot faster or if your server has a queue |
| 1291s | and it's just not popping because it's |
| 1293s | off hours now you're more likely to get |
| 1297s | um or now in summer you'll be more |
| 1299s | likely to get more people into those |
| 1301s | kids so that they can pop more regularly |
| 1303s | yeah and and this is also uh you know an |
| 1306s | enter this is a a gate to other things |
| 1308s | being cross-world once we have opr |
| 1310s | working and it's feeling good we start |
| 1312s | expanding that over time and bring other |
| 1314s | game modes into it and I think uh |
| 1317s | I I think it's going to help the game |
| 1319s | tremendously yeah our server team is |
| 1321s | watching every word that comes out of |
| 1322s | our mouth right now |
| 1324s | no commitments on timelines |
| 1327s | um and then the last one we're going to |
| 1329s | talk about for the summer uh is the |
| 1331s | summer medley Fair the next the next |
| 1332s | round of that I think the last one was |
| 1334s | uh |
| 1335s | it was pretty fun I had a lot I had a |
| 1337s | good time with it you know the music |
| 1338s | festival I missed the modeling bugs I |
| 1341s | gotta say it I miss them as I run |
| 1342s | through I'm like where did that like |
| 1344s | swarm go aside from the comeback yeah |
| 1347s | just having that the dynamicism in the |
| 1349s | world just making you feel different |
| 1350s | it's it's it's there's something |
| 1351s | sparkling in the trees is it going to |
| 1353s | kill me or can I play a tune and get a |
| 1355s | reward |
| 1356s | um and then you know there's other |
| 1358s | things like like I want to be clear with |
| 1359s | that well like this is not the |
| 1361s | comprehensive list of what we're working |
| 1362s | on or doing these are the ones we're |
| 1364s | talking about there are some other ones |
| 1366s | also that are going to trickle in |
| 1367s | throughout the releases like uh |
| 1369s | the um the heart gems |
| 1372s | let me get more of those uh getting more |
| 1375s | of those |
| 1376s | I'm trying to look at my cheat sheet if |
| 1377s | you see me uh quality of life quality of |
| 1379s | life changes yes we're gonna constantly |
| 1381s | be doing those and I in uh more |
| 1383s | cinematics we want to get more of those |
| 1385s | cinematics in the game I think they're |
| 1386s | they're fun and they just they really |
| 1388s | help us tell the lore story absolutely |
| 1391s | definitely looking forward to feedback |
| 1393s | on everything especially the roadmap |
