| 1s | hey everybody hope you're all doing well |
|---|---|
| 3s | uh sorry I wanted to cut into the |
| 5s | beginning of the Q a video and talk |
| 8s | about the Season One release |
| 11s | um obviously we came in a little late |
| 13s | and |
| 14s | you know that that hurts as a team it's |
| 16s | uh when we make commitments to you the |
| 18s | players we take them real serious and |
| 20s | it's |
| 23s | it's not we feel really bad when this |
| 25s | happens uh so so what happened was after |
| 27s | the PTR finished what we do is we run a |
| 30s | couple scale tests for safety to make |
| 31s | sure and we try to really stress the |
| 33s | system out we had some done some of |
| 35s | these early uh we did a few more here at |
| 37s | the end and we uncovered a problem that |
| 40s | could have resulted in players not |
| 42s | getting everything they earned and that |
| 44s | was just uh it was not acceptable to us |
| 46s | so what happened was the team you know |
| 49s | and and thank you to everyone on the |
| 51s | team who went through this but a lot of |
| 52s | people on the team were working Round |
| 53s | the Clock to fix these problems to make |
| 55s | sure that the experience was tightened |
| 57s | up and that the quality that you players |
| 59s | deserve like like that was very |
| 61s | important to them and again |
| 63s | it's it's it's it's something that we |
| 65s | take really seriously |
| 68s | you know I want to personally apologize |
| 69s | for the delay |
| 71s | um |
| 72s | at the end of the day it's my call I |
| 74s | think that you know |
| 76s | the decision to |
| 78s | ensure higher quality was worth a few |
| 81s | days in my mind even though I know it |
| 83s | broke a little Trust |
| 84s | and I also know going forward it means |
| 86s | we have to work hard to earn your trust |
| 88s | again |
| 89s | one of our goals going forward is to |
| 91s | have a season release every 95 days or |
| 94s | sooner |
| 95s | and I'm going to do everything in my |
| 96s | power as is the team to make sure that |
| 98s | happens and you know |
| 100s | again I just want to thank you for your |
| 101s | patience and understanding and uh let |
| 104s | you get on with the Q a video |
| 108s | [Applause] |
| 112s | hey everybody Welcome to forage and |
| 115s | eternum where we talk about All Things |
| 116s | New World I'm here with Dave and Katie |
| 119s | as usual for the March edition of the Q |
| 121s | a |
| 122s | um we're going to go a little faster |
| 123s | today we're going to try to take a few |
| 125s | more questions and we'll see how that |
| 126s | goes so let's get started Levin what is |
| 128s | the team excited in terms of upcoming |
| 130s | content updates Etc |
| 133s | yeah so we shared a public roadmap and |
| 136s | that's essentially what the team is |
| 137s | super excited about I know that um we're |
| 140s | really excited for season one to go live |
| 142s | it's our first foray into Seasons um |
| 146s | we're super excited to see how that does |
| 147s | we're also really excited about some of |
| 150s | the things we mentioned for season two |
| 152s | and season three in the expansion so |
| 154s | like this is our first year that we're |
| 156s | calling something an expansion so |
| 158s | there's there's some real excitement |
| 160s | there and we can't wait to share that |
| 161s | information but we have to wait to share |
| 163s | that information yeah I'd add on like |
| 166s | from each of the next few releases I'm |
| 167s | looking forward to like I think the the |
| 170s | season that seasonal pass is going to be |
| 172s | it's just going to be fun leveling |
| 174s | giving me another thing to level through |
| 176s | spring event our audio team did a |
| 178s | presentation on all the audio work they |
| 180s | did last week and it sounds amazing I |
| 183s | think the sand worm fight's going to be |
| 185s | great I can't wait for mounts I mean |
| 187s | there's a lot of really really cool |
| 188s | stuff coming this year he did mention |
| 189s | trans Vlogs I know well I was for sure |
| 193s | thinking he was going to say that I do |
| 195s | have two storages full of stuff that I'm |
| 196s | waiting to transmog so yes I'm excited |
| 198s | about that too yeah but I think the sand |
| 200s | worm |
| 202s | like like seeing that fight now like uh |
| 204s | now that it's working internally it's |
| 207s | going to be really special I think the |
| 209s | large-scale PVE activities sand worm 20 |
| 211s | person uh the seasonal trial 10 person |
| 213s | like getting in those bigger groups the |
| 215s | more challenging PVE content I think |
| 216s | it's gonna be super exciting absolutely |
| 219s | when will the prisoners of low |
| 221s | population Fresh Start servers be able |
| 223s | to transfer merge to other Fresh Start |
| 225s | servers yeah so we will announce some |
| 229s | merge plans Following season one going |
| 231s | live |
| 232s | okay uh how much does a gear slot cost |
| 235s | uh outside of the two that we provide to |
| 238s | you the one that's on the season pass in |
| 240s | season one uh five dollars all right so |
| 243s | in terms of gear pieces are there any |
| 245s | plans to implement different systems to |
| 247s | earn them as opposed to crafting Etc |
| 252s | where we're working on updating a lot of |
| 256s | that stuff the way loot works and things |
| 257s | but the overall goal of reducing the RNG |
| 260s | it's going to be you know it's not in |
| 262s | the super short term but it's something |
| 264s | we'd like to get through this year |
| 265s | having to change trophies all the time |
| 267s | is massively frustrating whilst I don't |
| 269s | think that the trophy system is the best |
| 271s | can we not just Place one of each trophy |
| 274s | in each property it's not like having |
| 276s | these extra trophies active will |
| 277s | suddenly break all game balance |
| 280s | uh yeah we agree the trophy placement uh |
| 282s | and switching up is annoying we are |
| 285s | working on something a quality of life |
| 287s | uh solution here that should be coming |
| 289s | in relatively shortly it's not like a |
| 291s | full ux can swap anywhere but it will be |
| 294s | make this a lot easier to to manage for |
| 297s | the love of God when can we get more |
| 299s | than one opr map and PVP rewards and |
| 302s | gear |
| 303s | uh we have started to work on that we |
| 305s | are working on the arena we are going to |
| 307s | be providing another Arena map for |
| 309s | players now that we have that technology |
| 311s | worked out on how to switch we are going |
| 312s | to start looking at opr but it will take |
| 315s | a while to develop and get ready yeah |
| 317s | it's not just building the artwork it's |
| 318s | changing the layout and tuning it and |
| 320s | making it feel good and that's going to |
| 322s | take a little time yeah we want to |
| 323s | create a different experience right |
| 325s | everyone came to a tournament on a ship |
| 327s | that crashed is there any way to leave |
| 329s | eternum |
| 332s | we'll look through the lower notes and |
| 333s | try to you know figure this out but we |
| 335s | you know we do know one person's found |
| 337s | their way off and back on the island so |
| 340s | I imagine there is and we're gonna we'll |
| 342s | probably explore that a little more in |
| 344s | upcoming years |
| 345s | is there any chance we could have |
| 347s | instanced practice Wars |
| 351s | okay I'll take this uh |
| 354s | there is so so right now we're we're |
| 358s | getting open crossworld for instance |
| 360s | practice Wars to work they need to be |
| 361s | cross-world uh now that we have opr |
| 364s | crossworld coming out in June we're |
| 366s | going to look at all of our instance |
| 368s | activities and prioritize let's move |
| 370s | this one to let's get this one then this |
| 372s | one then this one uh so casual Wars is |
| 374s | on the list it's just a matter of when |
| 375s | we get to it I personally think |
| 378s | Expeditions and Arenas and some of the |
| 380s | other stuff is more important but it's |
| 381s | on the list and some will look at uh |
| 383s | will the weapon swap FPS drop bug be |
| 385s | fixed this iteration |
| 388s | uh we are actively working on it we're |
| 390s | aware of it uh it is a difficult bug and |
| 393s | top priority of ours we hope so |
| 397s | any plans to update invasions as they're |
| 399s | pretty stale at the moment some enemy |
| 401s | type variety would be great |
| 403s | uh yes there are some plans with |
| 405s | Invasion I think Step One is uh I know |
| 408s | one of Scott's favorite things that long |
| 409s | 15-minute wait at the start we are |
| 412s | working on reducing that we're working |
| 413s | on sort of balancing out the difficulty |
| 415s | of the Waves we're looking at the |
| 416s | rewards that will be our sort of first |
| 419s | pass at that and then we'll take a look |
| 420s | at sort of adding some more spice to it |
| 422s | uh if I shoot a musket straight up does |
| 424s | the bullet eventually hit the ground |
| 427s | so a couple things muskets don't have |
| 429s | bullets |
| 430s | but when you shoot it straight up it |
| 432s | will eventually hit you again however |
| 434s | due to air resistance it probably won't |
| 436s | kill you because it'll be traveling |
| 437s | about a third the speed is on the way up |
| 439s | now note in a tournament bullets do not |
| 442s | work like in real life there was no |
| 444s | specification |
| 446s | they will go up 125 uh beaters in a |
| 449s | straight line and then disappear so are |
| 451s | you saying that in a tournament muskets |
| 453s | have bullets |
| 454s | I'm saying they will not hit you okay |
| 457s | wire automated bands still a thing when |
| 460s | people can exploit the system so easily |
| 462s | yeah so |
| 464s | um there's not automated bands but |
| 467s | there's people reviewing that and people |
| 470s | make mistakes |
| 472s | um it's something that we are actively |
| 473s | working on with our customer support |
| 475s | group and I know that they they want |
| 478s | those bands to be you know high |
| 480s | confidence and anytime that that falls |
| 484s | below high confidence we do a full |
| 486s | investigation into it would the devs |
| 488s | ever consider forming a community |
| 490s | feedback Board of Select players with |
| 492s | extensive knowledge of PVP and PVE meta |
| 495s | yeah we've mentioned this before in one |
| 498s | of the |
| 499s | um I think in one of our Dev updates but |
| 500s | we have an experts group |
| 502s | um that's a group of Highly involved |
| 505s | players |
| 506s | um who are very active in the community |
| 509s | and in the forums have provided critical |
| 512s | feedback |
| 514s | um and so it's a it's a fairly sizable |
| 515s | group and it does exist already |
| 518s | many players I know would pay for a name |
| 521s | change is that something on your radar |
| 523s | or doable yes this is on our radar |
| 527s | and it's doable wow a twofer is there |
| 531s | already a timetable for when all quests |
| 533s | will have been revised as has already |
| 534s | been done for the first 25 levels well |
| 536s | our season one release has the next two |
| 539s | zones Brightwood and Weaver's fin beyond |
| 541s | that our goal is to get all the rest |
| 542s | done by the end of the year |
| 544s | um we're we're it's a priority for us |
| 547s | but we have other things we're working |
| 548s | on as well and we want to make sure that |
| 549s | we take the time to to make the new |
| 551s | story |
| 553s | cool in the way we're telling it will |
| 555s | there be new ways to fight against |
| 556s | cheating software and tougher |
| 558s | punishments |
| 560s | will there be new ways for players to |
| 562s | fight against cheating software just |
| 564s | kidding I know what they're asking |
| 566s | um so we are constantly updating the |
| 569s | band software |
| 571s | um that's the |
| 572s | um that's our anti-cheat software so |
| 574s | we're constantly updating that with new |
| 576s | information |
| 577s | um and we have some uh internal |
| 579s | Shenanigans happening to add more |
| 583s | detection and I don't want to give too |
| 584s | much away because there's for sure |
| 586s | people making bot scripts watching this |
| 588s | so you need to make sure that they don't |
| 591s | have that information so no timing but |
| 593s | it's something we're actively and |
| 594s | constantly working on |
| 596s | all right now we have a few questions |
| 598s | from our creator program |
| 601s | Cash Money wants to know I know |
| 603s | crossworld matches are on the roadmap |
| 605s | hopefully you are prioritizing some new |
| 607s | maps as well do have a rough timeline on |
| 610s | when we might see these uh so we briefly |
| 612s | discussed this earlier but we are |
| 614s | bringing a new Arena map to players very |
| 617s | very soon not in season one but soon |
| 619s | thereafter and then we are beginning to |
| 621s | work on opr and think about what we |
| 624s | would do to change the experience what |
| 625s | would be different about the map and all |
| 627s | that npc3 says my question is about the |
| 630s | phishing trade skill love the festival |
| 632s | last summer but some things could use a |
| 635s | tune-up are there any current plans to |
| 637s | have it brought in line with the other |
| 638s | Gathering professions ability to use |
| 641s | mods for pull perks ability to roll |
| 643s | legendary at 600 for alignment removal |
| 646s | of three tier perk systems thank you |
| 649s | uh there are some adjustments coming to |
| 651s | fishing and we love it also it's it's a |
| 652s | wonderful trade skill I don't think it's |
| 654s | as rewarding as some of the other trade |
| 655s | skills and I think that's what we'll |
| 657s | focus on first to sort of bring it up to |
| 658s | parity with some of the other Gathering |
| 660s | skills |
| 662s | and lastly Duke sloth wants to know uh |
| 665s | the new season model contains a large |
| 668s | content update every three months which |
| 669s | is fantastic how would you feel about |
| 671s | committing to a regular balance check |
| 673s | update halfway through each season |
| 676s | great question and I got some great news |
| 678s | we're going to be starting a a new |
| 680s | segment in the Forge in a totem series |
| 682s | called balance of power and that's one |
| 684s | of the things we're going to be talking |
| 685s | about in it doing more sort of uh |
| 687s | intermittent balance updates between the |
| 689s | seasons I can just picture Shameless |
| 691s | plug flashing below balance of power |
| 695s | if you don't put balance of power in his |
| 698s | hands I think it's dropping two days |
| 701s | after this video drops that's right |
| 704s | excellent that's it those are the |
| 706s | questions |
| 707s | well thank you all really appreciate the |
| 709s | questions if you like what you see let |
| 711s | us know subscribe and we'll keep doing |
| 713s | this otherwise see you next time |
| 717s | Sienna tournament |
| 719s | see you in a tournament bye |
| 724s | what is the state of combat I'm just |
| 727s | going to list them out so you can |
| 728s | understand the sort of the the amount of |
| 731s | changes there's 14 of them so I'm going |
