| 0s | so everyone sounds good we'll look at |
|---|---|
| 2s | this camera today or me I'll be standing |
| 5s | here asking the questions let me look at |
| 6s | you it feels pretty low |
| 8s | I don't like that I like the upshot okay |
| 10s | it makes us look more powerful I don't |
| 12s | like this angle because it undermines my |
| 14s | authority okay |
| 17s | not care at all if it looks good last |
| 20s | time it looks good it looks good leave |
| 22s | leave it I'm good to go whenever you're |
| 25s | ready to uh you're ready let's do this |
| 29s | if you don't get to talk |
| 31s | [Music] |
| 31s | [Applause] |
| 36s | hey everybody Welcome to foraging |
| 38s | eternum where we talk about all things |
| 39s | new world today is a special edition the |
| 42s | September q a video and even more |
| 44s | special |
| 45s | episode 50. |
| 48s | you might also notice we're back here in |
| 50s | our normal Studio because we have a team |
| 53s | up in Seattle and we have a team down |
| 55s | here so we go back and forth on occasion |
| 57s | we wanted to include a lot of our |
| 59s | Seattle folks in the video to make it |
| 60s | easier on them so we're glad to be back |
| 63s | we're even more glad to answer your |
| 65s | questions so with that I'm going to hand |
| 67s | it off to Michael to ask away all right |
| 69s | we've got a lot of questions today so um |
| 72s | first one uh when can I buy the |
| 74s | expansion |
| 76s | you can buy the expansion October 3rd |
| 78s | you can get it on your wish list early |
| 81s | but there are no pre-orders |
| 83s | have you identified the main root causes |
| 86s | for instability on PTR opening day and |
| 88s | are you confident they will not be |
| 90s | repeated at launch yes we have |
| 93s | identified the root cause and we are |
| 96s | confident that that particular issue |
| 98s | will not happen on day one of the |
| 100s | expansion |
| 101s | it's the beauty of a PTR it allows us to |
| 103s | catch some of these things before they |
| 105s | go live exactly and if you hop into the |
| 107s | if you had hopped into the PTR after we |
| 109s | had put the fix through you notice that |
| 111s | the stability definitely got a lot |
| 113s | better |
| 114s | cool and with all the upcoming changes |
| 117s | to the gearing system I would expect |
| 119s | that the overall process of getting a |
| 121s | very good gear set will be faster and |
| 123s | easier than before and that the need for |
| 126s | multiple sets will be reduced with that |
| 128s | in mind what are the long-term goals for |
| 130s | gear progression how do you plan to keep |
| 132s | gear progression interesting in the long |
| 134s | term can we expect faster gear score |
| 136s | increases than before like like two |
| 138s | years from now on |
| 140s | uh let me start I think first of all you |
| 143s | know one of our goals here was to allow |
| 144s | people to get uh really good gear |
| 146s | quickly like we wanted to make that |
| 148s | faster we wanted to make it less of a |
| 150s | grinding at that we wanted to make less |
| 151s | requirements to get multiple sets again |
| 154s | the focus is on have fun like that's one |
| 156s | of the beauties of a classless game like |
| 158s | ours is like you get to experiment with |
| 159s | more builds and we wanted players to |
| 161s | have that opportunity |
| 163s | uh with that said I do think like |
| 165s | between artifacts leveling them up uh |
| 167s | getting you know absolute best three |
| 170s | perks and 700 gear they're still going |
| 172s | to be a nice Runway here also uh and |
| 174s | we'll talk more about the future of |
| 176s | progression in the future |
| 178s | maybe an imbalance of Power episode oh |
| 181s | what a great place for that |
| 183s | are there any plans to change from |
| 185s | corrupted portals and invasions into |
| 187s | angry Earth portals and invasions this |
| 190s | is Rise of angry Earth after all I'm |
| 192s | dreading doing the same invasions I've |
| 194s | done for two years already |
| 196s | well I'm sorry that you're dreading that |
| 198s | um there are we don't have plans for |
| 200s | angry Earth changes but |
| 203s | if we were to do another race in the |
| 205s | future I think that would be an |
| 206s | interesting call out and it's something |
| 208s | that we are talking about and I think |
| 209s | would be a lot of fun |
| 213s | okay if you look at how demanding the |
| 215s | bis crafting is going to be along with |
| 218s | getting all the new artifacts then there |
| 220s | is a very long grind ahead of you |
| 223s | this is an interesting question after |
| 225s | the one two questions ago where it was |
| 227s | too quick so I think you know hopefully |
| 229s | we're somewhere in the middle uh I do |
| 231s | think like the the sort of the Prismatic |
| 233s | Scarab crafting is relatively expensive |
| 236s | and and that is intentional right |
| 237s | because that is pure bis best in slot |
| 240s | like it's 700 gear score you get to |
| 242s | choose all your perks uh so that is that |
| 245s | is a little bit expensive but but it's |
| 246s | guaranteed to be the absolute best |
| 249s | okay when buying the expansion is there |
| 252s | a chance we will get a discounted bundle |
| 254s | that includes a premium season pass we |
| 257s | are not bundling the expansion with the |
| 259s | season pass the season pass is an |
| 261s | in-game purchase and then the expansion |
| 264s | you can purchase through the same store |
| 266s | are the influence windows currently just |
| 269s | for testing or is the idea that this |
| 271s | will also be the time for live the idea |
| 274s | is that this will also be the time for |
| 276s | live so we'll take feedback from the PTR |
| 278s | and we decide if you know it makes sense |
| 281s | but yeah what's current what was on the |
| 284s | PTR is what we are currently working |
| 285s | with those are based on like the Prime |
| 288s | Times of server windows and and we want |
| 290s | those tight gaps right time frame yeah |
| 293s | we don't want it to be too spread out |
| 294s | because we the whole point is to get a |
| 297s | lot of PVP players into one particular |
| 299s | area fighting it out and having a good |
| 301s | time it's also super tunable right we're |
| 303s | going to see in the PTR but the live |
| 305s | audience always behaves a little |
| 306s | differently and we have |
| 308s | um we've got Cool Tools and Telemetry to |
| 311s | be able to to play with that and make |
| 312s | sure that it's always feels like Optimal |
| 316s | okay what happens to gypsum will it |
| 320s | become useless |
| 321s | uh no gypsum still has a use mainly |
| 324s | building gypsum orbs out of it uh the |
| 327s | gypsum caches uh you know are a little |
| 329s | bit less useful they're a good way to |
| 331s | sort of get up to that 620 knots twice |
| 333s | sorry let me try that again up to that |
| 335s | 625 base level If you're sort of coming |
| 337s | back to the game uh but the orbs will |
| 339s | still have good usage between the weapon |
| 341s | matrices which are used for reloading |
| 343s | perks uh and upgrading uh heart runs to |
| 346s | 700. |
| 347s | we were told there was a PVP surprise we |
| 349s | might could guess in addition to the |
| 351s | influence changes was this just Eden |
| 353s | Grove and if so how are we supposed to |
| 355s | guess a lot of us were hoping for a PVP |
| 357s | zone are similar and it feels like PV |
| 360s | peers got left behind again |
| 363s | all right so there's a fair amount to |
| 365s | unpack here now I I could be wrong here |
| 368s | but I'm pretty sure we didn't say a PVP |
| 370s | special surprise if we did we were |
| 372s | referring to Eden Grove replacing First |
| 375s | Light which by the way I think the Eden |
| 377s | Grove settlement is pretty awesome |
| 379s | also PVP is like the influence change we |
| 382s | think is going to have a major impact on |
| 384s | the experience so it saddens me to think |
| 387s | that you know while we took the time to |
| 389s | add this PVP feature you still feel left |
| 390s | behind that said you know going forward |
| 394s | we have a lot more and still in mind for |
| 396s | PVP we're just not ready to talk about |
| 398s | it today is about the expansion will we |
| 400s | be able to reset our territory standing |
| 403s | no |
| 406s | good answer neither of you can speak for |
| 409s | the rest of this now all right |
| 412s | you already broke that rule weird rules |
| 416s | um thanks you don't know the rules of |
| 418s | change like a soda or something for the |
| 421s | other person no Scott you can answer the |
| 423s | rest of them if you'd like we'll see I |
| 427s | know the rules of jinx |
| 429s | come on okay question about PVE is there |
| 432s | any plan to add more end game activities |
| 434s | other than mutations dungeon scaling |
| 437s | based upon how many players in the party |
| 438s | show some love for the PVE Arenas any |
| 442s | plan to improve invasions adding or |
| 444s | changing activities which are rewarding |
| 446s | players with crafting materials stat |
| 449s | perk mods High tier crafting materials |
| 451s | Etc any plans to build upon corrupted po |
| 454s | portals roadside encounters |
| 458s | there was a lot of questions a lot of |
| 460s | suggestions what I'll say is like we we |
| 463s | really want to keep this focused on the |
| 464s | expansion however we I'll I'll give this |
| 467s | to bit we have major plans to improve |
| 469s | the PVE experience we also have major |
| 471s | plans to improve the PVP experience but |
| 473s | that's stuff we don't want to talk about |
| 475s | until we start talking about next year |
| 478s | what will happen in opr war with the new |
| 480s | level ranges with will people who didn't |
| 483s | buy the expansion be screwed |
| 487s | screwed's a hard word opr we are raising |
| 489s | the minimum level up the we're going to |
| 491s | raise everyone up to 675 so they can |
| 493s | compete I know that's not all the way to |
| 495s | 700 but that that's what we're doing uh |
| 498s | war is going to be tough like you know |
| 500s | the answer is you're not gonna it's |
| 502s | gonna be hard to get picked in war if |
| 504s | you don't buy the expansion yeah and |
| 506s | just to reiterate there's no scaling in |
| 509s | open world PVP or War but there it will |
| 512s | be scaling in Outpost rush so and arena |
| 516s | is and I know it's a favorite mode for a |
| 518s | lot of our players so you can get in |
| 520s | there and be you know somewhat |
| 523s | competitive but like Scott said this is |
| 525s | something where if you really want to |
| 526s | still be competitive on top of the |
| 527s | leaderboards |
| 529s | how will influence races work for |
| 531s | companies that own multiple territories |
| 534s | well influence raises happen one |
| 537s | territory at a time so there's not a |
| 540s | massive impact to to companies that own |
| 543s | multiple territories but you will have |
| 545s | to defend all of them so that's |
| 547s | something to consider you know you'll |
| 549s | have to defend them in war you already |
| 551s | have to defend them in Invasions and |
| 553s | then you're going to have to fight off |
| 554s | everybody in the influence Race So |
| 557s | something to consider for those that do |
| 559s | own multiple territories with the new |
| 561s | bis crafting recipes requiring so many |
| 564s | resources are there any plans to reduce |
| 566s | the amount of materials needed or adding |
| 569s | new nodes |
| 570s | we are looking at this I think we are |
| 573s | considering uh a slight reduction in the |
| 576s | Prismatic Scarab crafting we're going to |
| 578s | take a look at more data make a final |
| 580s | decision but that's that's potentially |
| 581s | likely we're also taking a look at the |
| 584s | influx of mithril on the the new end |
| 587s | resources and and we may like increase |
| 590s | the respawn time of those uh to help |
| 593s | compensate uh for that also yeah we're |
| 595s | going to keep looking and tuning as |
| 597s | needed so I will be paying attention in |
| 599s | data as well as to player reports |
| 602s | do we need to empty the first light |
| 604s | storage or are the contents there move |
| 606s | to another storage with the update |
| 608s | uh no the so if you didn't purchase the |
| 611s | expansion |
| 613s | um the |
| 615s | it's going to be the same experience |
| 616s | that you have right now in game so your |
| 618s | storage from first light uh back when we |
| 621s | introduced season two is available |
| 623s | through the storage system it's not a |
| 624s | physical location that's still something |
| 626s | you can pull from you can't add to it |
| 629s | for those that purchase the expansion |
| 631s | you now have Elysian Wilds |
| 633s | um storage so you can put things in take |
| 636s | things out it acts just like the rest of |
| 637s | the storage in the world but if you |
| 639s | didn't buy the expansion you can still |
| 640s | get access to Eden Grove which adds that |
| 642s | storage back so you really didn't miss |
| 644s | out on any storage capacity exactly but |
| 646s | if you're wondering specifically about |
| 648s | what happens to the first light stuff |
| 649s | it's it's still there okay we will take |
| 652s | your stuff all right um yet |
| 655s | [Laughter] |
| 657s | that was her |
| 659s | okay |
| 661s | does anything happen to existing named |
| 663s | items at gear score 590 I assume they |
| 666s | can drop at a higher gear score after |
| 668s | the update but the ones in our inventory |
| 670s | remain at 590 and can no longer be |
| 672s | increased |
| 673s | uh yeah so this is one of those things |
| 676s | that if you have named items at 590 you |
| 678s | should upgrade them pre the expansion |
| 680s | because they won't be upgradable post uh |
| 683s | the good news is that post it'll drop at |
| 686s | 6 25 so you will no longer need to |
| 688s | upgrade them so upgrade them now if you |
| 690s | have them otherwise you'll get new |
| 692s | shinier uh better ones post expansion |
| 695s | anything new about the first light |
| 698s | standing that you stole from us the |
| 700s | achievements are unreachable as well now |
| 706s | well |
| 708s | we are replacing it with the Eden Grove |
| 710s | standing that you can start to to build |
| 712s | up and same with the achievements there |
| 714s | uh |
| 715s | you know sometimes you have to do what |
| 717s | you think is in the best health of the |
| 718s | game and while first light was a zone |
| 721s | that people hadn't played the truth is |
| 723s | the heat map showed there wasn't a lot |
| 724s | of activity there and it made a lot more |
| 727s | sense to rather than add another Zone to |
| 730s | the side of the map to further spread |
| 731s | players out to try to give players like |
| 733s | a closer place to go because one thing |
| 735s | we have learned is they'll have players |
| 736s | like that proximity of each other and |
| 738s | the more we can support that the better |
| 739s | so |
| 740s | yeah and I mean just to add on to that |
| 743s | the reason why we chose first light is |
| 746s | because there wasn't a ton of players |
| 747s | and the ones that were there were really |
| 749s | at the Fort capping it for the bonus and |
| 752s | we preserved that with season two we |
| 753s | moved that to Weaver's Fen so that's |
| 755s | something that you still get we preserve |
| 757s | the storage for you so you can still |
| 759s | take things out and now we've added Eden |
| 761s | Grove storage so it's it's evened out |
| 763s | and you can start that grind for the the |
| 765s | territory standing again |
| 768s | okay |
| 770s | there's a very hot topic on the Discord |
| 772s | form about the fresh server question |
| 775s | will there be at least one fresh server |
| 777s | where after a month transfers will be |
| 779s | opened or the server merged because many |
| 781s | of my friends want to play the expansion |
| 783s | but completely from scratch without a |
| 785s | damaged economy |
| 787s | so no there will not be fresh start |
| 789s | servers with the expansion and as far as |
| 793s | the damaged economy |
| 795s | um that's that's been a long time since |
| 798s | we've had dupes and those those horrible |
| 802s | beginning game experiences that we |
| 804s | totally own and we have righted you can |
| 808s | still play on Fresh Start worlds that |
| 810s | are around since the post Brimstone Sans |
| 813s | launch so those are still around as long |
| 816s | as they have the no transfer in mark on |
| 819s | them then feel free to join those ones |
| 820s | or join a legacy server because it's a |
| 823s | lot of fun too |
| 824s | heyo I am worried about the state of the |
| 827s | game after introducing pay to win to the |
| 829s | game can someone please clarify what |
| 831s | happens to the players that do not buy |
| 833s | the expansion will PVP be equally |
| 836s | balanced for free and paid players are |
| 838s | they able to use the same gear and |
| 840s | weapon thank you |
| 843s | yeah so I don't look at it as pay to win |
| 846s | I look at it more of a pay to continue |
| 848s | the game to play to keep progressing |
| 850s | both your level okay to have access to |
| 853s | the new content and continue growing |
| 855s | your character |
| 856s | um which I think is a pretty common |
| 857s | theme in the genre |
| 860s | that said you know we are still giving |
| 863s | pill players that don't buy the |
| 865s | expansion access to new content like the |
| 867s | Eagan Grove settlement which is a pretty |
| 869s | big deal I think |
| 870s | also we're trying to do our best to keep |
| 873s | them competitive in PvP while keeping it |
| 876s | fair for everybody by you know Outpost |
| 878s | Russian Arenas raising it to 675 so they |
| 881s | can at least compete and be a part of it |
| 884s | but overall like you know |
| 886s | the expansions where the new content and |
| 888s | the new Hot Stuff is yep so I've heard |
| 891s | that people who put new world on a disk |
| 893s | drive have a pretty bad experience uh |
| 897s | could we speak to this yeah I think the |
| 900s | minimum requirements for new world is a |
| 902s | disk drive that goes at 2 000 megabytes |
| 905s | per second that is going to be really |
| 908s | really hard to achieve on any hard disk |
| 911s | drive unless it's like raid zeroed and |
| 913s | like all this optimization so most |
| 915s | likely you're going to need an SSD to |
| 918s | hit those speeds so please the game |
| 920s | plays a lot better you'll remove a lot |
| 921s | of the micro stuttering and enjoy it a |
| 923s | lot more |
| 924s | okay |
| 926s | um and finally so what should players be |
| 930s | doing between now and the expansion that |
| 932s | would be valuable after the expansion |
| 936s | first it's always valuable to just play |
| 938s | and enjoy the game and have fun uh one |
| 941s | thing that I would probably do is if |
| 943s | you're if you're one of those people |
| 944s | that's into the msq and you're working |
| 946s | through it and leveling again especially |
| 947s | if you came back and you'd stop I would |
| 949s | actually stop it before entering great |
| 951s | cleave |
| 952s | and then we've redone that and there's |
| 954s | all this new Exposition on Thorpe and |
| 956s | the fight's really cool and it'll pick |
| 958s | up and carry you through that and I so I |
| 960s | would stop at the end of Weaver's phone |
| 961s | right before you go to Great cleave and |
| 963s | if you've already completed the app to |
| 966s | say |
| 967s | um Tempest right so a lot of people I |
| 969s | know got up to Tempest and maybe didn't |
| 971s | go through Brimstone Sands make sure you |
| 974s | go through Brimstone Sands because up to |
| 976s | Tempest you're getting like 500 level |
| 978s | gear and then in Brimstone the quest |
| 980s | line drops like 6 15 gear score items |
| 983s | 620 gear score items so you can start |
| 985s | picking up at least like those items get |
| 986s | you ready for Elysian Wilds in the |
| 988s | higher level zone so definitely complete |
| 990s | Brimstone Sands if you have not |
| 993s | um I think if you're a Min maxer there's |
| 996s | a lot you could potentially do depending |
| 997s | on how deep you want to go like uh one |
| 1000s | thing I would get all my crafting skills |
| 1001s | up to 200 all my refining skills up to |
| 1003s | 200 uh I would probably stockpile enough |
| 1007s | materials to ensure I could get to 250 |
| 1009s | very quickly like if you're going to do |
| 1012s | melting you know you'd probably need |
| 1013s | around 1300 orients so prepare all the |
| 1017s | materials for that I'd get my weapon |
| 1019s | masteries all up to 20. there's lots of |
| 1022s | good strategies uh on that uh what else |
| 1026s | might I do I might start getting |
| 1028s | materials that you know will be useful |
| 1029s | uh gypsum orbs like we talked about have |
| 1032s | some use so if you don't have those I |
