| 6s | to this event |
| 8s | [Applause] |
| 12s | itself hello and welcome to forged in |
| 15s | eternum the show where we talk all |
| 17s | things new world I'm your host today |
| 19s | Patrick and joining me is Rome producer |
| 21s | on the team and Nix a level designer on |
| 23s | the team so guys we're here today to |
| 25s | talk about the Year of the Dragon micro |
| 27s | event I'm pretty excited about this one |
| 29s | it's the second micro event we're doing |
| 31s | in the game first one being uh the |
| 34s | raffle bones event from last year which |
| 35s | was pretty fun it was good excess Ru |
| 37s | around and chasing down those raffle |
| 38s | bones out of the portals and getting the |
| 40s | loot from that so Year of the Dragon |
| 42s | second iteration on those sorts of |
| 44s | events Nix go ahead and talk to me about |
| 46s | where the idea came from uh for this |
| 48s | event yeah so the idea of having a Lunar |
| 51s | New Year event in New World definitely |
| 53s | comes from more of a personal experience |
| 55s | and you know a cultural background of |
| 57s | mine um so I grew up in China Mainland |
| 61s | and you know back when I was a kid |
| 64s | Chinese New Year Eve is definitely the |
| 66s | most anticipated the most exciting day |
| 69s | of all year and uh you just have all |
| 72s | sorts of fun activities to do like you |
| 74s | get to light up fireworks you get a |
| 77s | light of |
| 78s | firecrackers um you can have hot pot |
| 80s | dinners together with your family you |
| 82s | know um and most important of all you |
| 86s | get to get a huge amount of pocket money |
| 88s | from all the rat packets and uh it's |
| 91s | just so good yeah yeah that's really |
| 94s | cool so you got to leverage then your |
| 96s | personal experience to help build this |
| 98s | event um Translating that personal |
| 100s | experience into ingame how does lore in |
| 103s | game reflect you know that experience |
| 104s | that you were trying to create for |
| 105s | players well uh first of all uh the |
| 109s | Lunar New Year event is definitely an |
| 111s | event that lets the players eat well get |
| 114s | rewarded well and you know seeing good |
| 118s | uh fireworks scenes but but the Lower |
| 121s | Side you know it's also deeply draws |
| 124s | Inspirations from the the Eastern |
| 126s | culture the Oriental culture so before |
| 129s | all these uh corruption Madness all of |
| 132s | these red people coming to the island uh |
| 135s | the the settlers in ecale reach uh will |
| 138s | celebrate their New Year's Eve by |
| 140s | bringing Foods all sorts of wine family |
| 143s | heirlooms to the important areas the |
| 146s | sacred places throughout the eans scal |
| 148s | reach and they willay pay tribute to the |
| 151s | ancient dragon Dei uh by you know |
| 154s | putting those stuff on the altar in |
| 156s | hopes of a a Year's good for fortune in |
| 159s | the upcoming year so yeah and now as the |
| 163s | Year of the Dragon is approaching um |
| 167s | people are putting up a fight against |
| 169s | the corruption as well um so yeah we |
| 172s | decided to revive this tradition that's |
| 174s | awesome all right so that's a lot of |
| 176s | really interesting background on the |
| 177s | event how it came to be and how it's |
| 178s | reflected in game let's dive into some |
| 180s | of the specifics so Ramil what am I |
| 183s | actually doing in game during this event |
| 185s | okay so there's going to be a couple |
| 187s | things you're going to do first there's |
| 188s | going to be a tribute run it's obviously |
| 191s | in Ean skills reach so there's uh three |
| 194s | locations the Sky song Temple the |
| 197s | serenity Outpost and the Imperial Palace |
| 200s | So like um Nick mentioned you're going |
| 203s | to go there you're going to do a couple |
| 205s | tribute runs you're going to kill some |
| 207s | enemies you're going to kill the main |
| 209s | boss uh the corrupted Maiden which she's |
| 211s | going to drop some really cool loot um |
| 214s | the other cool thing is within the |
| 216s | settlement itself there's going to be a |
| 219s | large banquet table where you'll gather |
| 221s | multiple different ingredients to cola |
| 224s | hot uh to Coca Hot Pot uh which will |
| 227s | give you some cool bonuses for the day |
| 230s | and as well as at night the best things |
| 232s | about any New Year's is the fireworks so |
| 235s | which will really bring in the New Year |
| 237s | itself yeah really excited for that bit |
| 239s | I think this event is a great job of |
| 240s | bringing extra life to weapon scale when |
| 242s | you go there in the evenings seeing |
| 243s | those fireworks shoot off yeah it's |
| 245s | really cool spectacle and something I |
| 246s | think we're happy to bring to weapon |
| 248s | skill to kind of change up the more |
| 250s | generic gameplay that's there uh for the |
| 252s | rest of the year yeah so definitely so |
| 253s | Nick Rome was just talking about the |
| 255s | tribute runs um our players here haven't |
| 257s | yet gotten to hop in and experience |
| 258s | those uh can you give a little |
| 260s | background on what a tribute run is and |
| 261s | maybe where the inspiration for that |
| 263s | gameplay came from sure yeah so I have |
| 266s | been a fan of War tour um in New War for |
| 269s | the long time and you know it just |
| 271s | always feels great to have 40ish people |
| 274s | around you and you guys just you know |
| 276s | band together steam steam roll through |
| 279s | the hardest objectives so yeah it always |
| 282s | feels great but War tours have its |
| 284s | downsides its limits uh so first of all |
| 287s | obviously you have to wait for an |
| 288s | organizer to actually organize it you |
| 290s | might need to join a Discord to attend |
| 292s | it on time um and also sometimes you |
| 295s | just don't have the time you know it |
| 297s | also only happens in a certain Elite |
| 299s | zones the hardest zones um in New World |
| 303s | so I figured why don't we make a faster |
| 307s | um a smaller a quicker version of this |
| 309s | war tour um a chess run but |
| 312s | accomplishable by the single player and |
| 316s | uh we have all sorts of beautiful points |
| 318s | of interest beautiful landmarks |
| 320s | throughout ens scale reach uh that are |
| 324s | undervisor it in some sort of way by |
| 326s | turning let's say skyon Temple into a an |
| 330s | event space I mean that place is |
| 333s | majestic yeah it's very cool I think |
| 336s | what you did here with tying in some of |
| 337s | the cultural aspects into a more refined |
| 340s | space to let a solo player go in and go |
| 342s | to these different areas get these items |
| 344s | and use that to build up towards an |
| 346s | engaging boss fight that drops pretty |
| 347s | cool loop uh it works great for the |
| 350s | Casual player and really helps refine |
| 351s | that idea of the micro event that we |
| 353s | were trying to push with here of the |
| 354s | Dragon so all exciting stuff there um so |
| 357s | when I when I complete my tribute run |
| 359s | Rome what sort of rewards am I looking |
| 361s | at and uh why am I doing this day after |
| 363s | day sure um there's really cool rewards |
| 366s | throughout the entire event uh the |
| 368s | banquet uh table when you cook up the |
| 370s | Hot Pot it will give you a spicy hot pot |
| 373s | which will give you a gathering yield |
| 375s | increases uh as well as increase |
| 378s | fraction tokens um the other cool thing |
| 381s | is when you defeat the corrupted Maiden |
| 383s | she will drop um gear score that's |
| 385s | greater than 625 but the best thing is |
| 389s | the named Dynasty New Year uh armor set |
| 392s | that's exclusive to this event itself so |
| 396s | get in there make sure you do the event |
| 398s | and uh kill the corrup maiden and |
| 400s | collect all five pieces yes sir dragon |
| 402s | scale yeah I got to go in there and get |
| 404s | that unique armor for my transmog I'm a |
| 406s | collector I got to get every piece that |
| 408s | drops to make sure that my uh my screen |
| 410s | is getting filled up and I'm not leaving |
| 412s | anything behind so once a year |
| 413s | opportunity to hop in and get that and |
| 415s | then the food you talked about the spicy |
| 417s | hot pot our only food in the game that |
| 419s | increases your faction token yield so I |
| 421s | think it's going to have a lot of value |
| 422s | there I'm going to want to go and cook |
| 423s | that food at the Hot Pot each day and |
| 425s | make sure that I have that food |
| 426s | stockpiled for the rest of the year yep |
| 428s | so that way I'm really maximizing my |
| 429s | faction tokens for my chromatics heals |
| 431s | and everything I'm trying to buy in |
| 432s | there so all great stuff um one reward |
| 435s | you didn't mentioned yet also we uh |
| 437s | every Lunar New Year has their red |
| 438s | envelopes so we're giving players 88 |
| 441s | coin with uh the settlement uh coin |
| 444s | baskets you can get so exciting way for |
| 446s | players to earn more and more coin yeah |
| 448s | definitely all right yep |
| 450s | definitely need a lot more gold in this |
| 452s | game yes we do all right ni so you |
| 455s | worked hard to ideate on real world uh |
| 458s | tie-ins to this this event things that |
| 460s | you might get you know in any Lunar New |
| 462s | Year celebration so you talked about |
| 463s | spicy hot pot for example how are those |
| 465s | rewards reflected in game um well we |
| 468s | definitely have a lot of elements of |
| 470s | cultural significance in the Lunar New |
| 473s | Year event and uh let's let's say it |
| 476s | includes Hot Pot it includes gift sacks |
| 479s | fire fireworks and like you know open |
| 482s | space bankets um we put that in not only |

| 491s | Year man that's just that's just a part |
| 494s | of the culture and for the gift sacks |
| 496s | especially um we try to tie it with the |
| 500s | theme of year of the dragon as well so |
| 503s | for each GI gift sack it includes um of |
| 507s | course it includes uh essential |
| 509s | materials like Dark Matters gypsums and |
| 513s | gems that we all need all the time um it |
| 516s | also includes dragon fish which |
| 519s | symbolizes um prosperity in the upcoming |
| 522s | year um that's why we have fish every |
| 525s | New Year's Eve dinner um it also has |
| 528s | silk and dyes a symbol of wealth and |
| 531s | after that you know everyone receives a |
