---|---|
10s | world dev video i'm your host today tina |
12s | and i'm joined today with scott lane |
14s | we're going to be going over a few |
15s | things in the upcoming world that is new |
17s | world scott you want to go over a few of |
19s | them yeah we have a little event we're |
21s | going to talk about that's happening in |
22s | april um we're going to answer some |
24s | community questions and i got some fun |
26s | stats to share with everyone about our |
28s | first six months of being live can you |
30s | believe it's been six months already it |
32s | time flies seriously all right thank you |
35s | so much and we're gonna dive right in |
41s | let's talk about the update something |
43s | that so many people are constantly |
45s | asking about what went on in this update |
47s | what are some things that are gonna come |
49s | of the update so today i have greg and |
52s | katie the two professionals that know so |
54s | much about it since you guys both had a |
55s | hand in it so let's get right into it |
58s | yeah so um there wasn't any new content |
61s | in this update um but we did do a lot of |
64s | quality of life features um |
67s | uh my favorite thing that we've put in |
69s | that i've been asking for for quite some |
71s | time is that when you |
72s | open the map and you're in a settlement |
76s | it's already zoomed into the settlement |
78s | uh i know that there are quite a few |
79s | players that have been asking for the |
80s | same um so that has made it in which is |
83s | super awesome i know we have a lot of |
84s | greg's favorites in we do yeah big |
87s | changes uh targeted healing is a nice |
89s | change so you can individually pick |
91s | specific players in your group to heal |
93s | and i think that's a nice enhancement |
94s | yeah absolutely and then we fixed um |
97s | more more bugs and that's what we |
100s | focused on really for this one and i |
102s | think that's like |
103s | they're gonna see that um with the |
105s | update so it's really exciting yeah i |
107s | think it's really important to find that |
109s | balance of where we're now introducing |
111s | more content but you know and i tell |
114s | people on the forums all the time like |
115s | we're still listening you know we're |
117s | still taking feedback for current issues |
120s | and how we can make the game much more |
122s | fun and you know just more natural to |
124s | play so yeah and i know greg you work a |
127s | lot on all of that you know you you take |
130s | it very much to the heart you play the |
132s | game constantly so you really know what |
134s | the players want i do you know last time |
137s | i was here i was talking about this |
138s | player insights tool too |
140s | and how we were taking in in-game |
142s | feedback and forums feedback well we |
144s | also added steam reviews to that too oh |
146s | okay so we have this machine learning |
148s | tool that's helping to gather feedback |
150s | that we can take action on yeah you know |
152s | something that's difficult for a lot of |
155s | games is ingesting that feedback at |
157s | scale and so |
158s | all we're all the time looking for new |
160s | and better ways to get the feedback from |
163s | players in some kind of actionable way |
164s | and so greg talking about like the |
166s | machine learning those models are |
167s | helping us |
169s | substantially |
171s | um |
171s | like gather and also parse feedback yeah |
174s | i'm pretty excited actually about how |
176s | many defects we fixed in in this i |
178s | thought you were gonna say about how |
179s | many defects and i was like |
182s | what game are you |
184s | we fixed so much stuff yeah we fixed a |
188s | lot of defects i think greg you have |
189s | some numbers yeah we did so i i uh i was |
192s | in the february developer update video |
194s | with you and yeah and i said hey we |
197s | fixed 700 defects at that point in time |
200s | and you asked me it's like well how do |
201s | you feel about the build and and i said |
203s | well there's still more work to do |
206s | and i think we can maybe do better well |
208s | we did awesome uh we actually fixed 1500 |
211s | defects that's a few more uh since the |
214s | february update |
216s | and we also included 600 minor |
220s | uh defects you know polish oriented |
221s | things |
223s | 900 more serious things and it's really |
225s | added added up i think |
228s | along with the reduced friction |
231s | improvements that we've got right yeah |
233s | you're starting to get this feel of the |
235s | title becoming more streamlined |
238s | uh usability is better performance is |
240s | better it's easy it's we're getting |
242s | things out of the way so you can play |
244s | the game you want to play and the way |
245s | you want to play with bus hassle right |
248s | and i think it's really adding up i'm |
249s | starting to get that sense of polish |
251s | where we want it in key places yeah game |
254s | play is a lot more smoother and natural |
256s | almost you're not sitting there like |
258s | with a chart trying to figure out you |
260s | know what you need to access the next |
262s | thing it's kind of a little bit more you |
264s | know holding your hand |
266s | and so to speak along the way i mean it |
268s | still has to be challenging for sure |
270s | absolutely and we definitely don't want |
272s | like players to deprecate their |
274s | spreadsheets that they've created |
276s | because they're very proud of that and |
277s | we're proud of them so that's true |
279s | like we know we would just want them to |
281s | adjust them just a little bit in ways |
282s | that favor them and other players so |
285s | that's what we're doing again like i'll |
286s | say it till i'm ready in the face we're |
288s | trying to find the right balance all the |
290s | time between fun and challenging and |
292s | sometimes that means quality of life |
294s | improvements like what we're doing with |
295s | this next update so |
296s | yeah so i mean |
298s | speaking about you know the events and |
300s | the quality of improvement and things |
302s | doing game can we talk about a few of |
304s | the events that are going on |
306s | a few of the events yes so uh talking |
309s | about like um there was the free-to-play |
311s | weekend |
313s | and the double xp which on the forums |
315s | players seemed to really enjoy |
317s | especially for the weapons they spent a |
319s | lot of time leveling up weapons they had |
321s | otherwise ignored so you know i feel |
323s | like those events have really helped |
325s | with the smoothness of the progression |
329s | yeah i would say double xp for sure did |
331s | um especially for folks that were trying |
334s | out the blunderbuss for the first time |
335s | it's really exciting to get all of those |
337s | abilities as quick as you can and with |
339s | the double xp a lot of folks got all 20 |
341s | points on that weapon so that was really |
344s | fun to see all the videos that came out |
345s | of that from players and content |
347s | creators um |
349s | but i think that like that's that's |
350s | something that we're continuously trying |
352s | to do and improve on is get like events |
354s | that the players will find exciting that |
356s | will bring new folks to their servers um |
358s | and then figuring out after that like |
360s | what's the next new and exciting thing |
361s | that we can do um it's not to say that |
363s | we won't have another double xp weekend |
365s | sometime or free weekend free to play |
367s | weekend sometime but um yeah we're just |
370s | constantly looking for new and better |
371s | ways to to improve the experience for |
373s | our current and future players yeah i |
375s | took advantage of those events i i'm |
377s | shocked |
379s | i i you know when the blunderbuss came |
382s | out i i have my main on one server |
385s | and uh i really enjoy actually our end |
388s | game experience right now i can earn |
389s | like up to 11 orbs a day yeah if i |
392s | really get serious and |
395s | i didn't use the level up experience |
397s | where you know buying all high-end armor |
400s | when you could |
401s | so i've been purposely getting exposed |
403s | to the expertise system and slowly |
405s | growing my my gear score across mine but |
408s | i went and created a new character |
410s | on my manager's world on my manager's |
413s | world on my boss's world and it was |
415s | great to go through the leveling |
416s | experience kind of from scratch again |
418s | right and i got to level 30. |
421s | after a bit of time but all of these |
424s | refinements that we've been putting in |
425s | place |
426s | it's really making the leveling |
428s | experience much more seamless and fun |
430s | we've got shrines all over the place |
433s | it's easier to work your way through the |
435s | progression absolutely and um i'm having |
438s | a blast i'm actually a little torn |
440s | do i go play this newer character |
442s | or focus on the higher end stuff like |
445s | that's a good sign i had a very similar |
448s | experience with um double xp weekend |
450s | which was i have two level 60 characters |
453s | um in one of the regions and i play both |
455s | of them regularly |
456s | but i had to choose one |
458s | to really focus on |
460s | i can't i can't say because then they'll |
463s | find out oh yeah so |
465s | so yeah but it was it was definitely |
467s | tough but when um when you get all of |
469s | those like the banners that pop up when |
472s | you get a new ability |
474s | it was just super exciting absolutely so |
477s | we understand that those are like |
478s | moments where like the dopamine hits |
480s | and so um we're definitely gonna have |
483s | more of those in the future um okay |
485s | that's great yeah yeah cause i myself |
487s | have a level 60 that i leveled up in the |
489s | very beginning during the hype and then |
491s | we were actually just talking right |
492s | before we started this was you know i |
494s | want to join i want to start another |
497s | character you know and experience the |
498s | new level up system and come play with |
501s | it yeah it's it's it's been good i |
503s | recommend it absolutely it's a lot of |
505s | fun |
505s | i have another new character that on us |
508s | east i'm like just two and up in each |
510s | region right but unfortunately i got |
512s | that one after double xp weekend that |
514s | wasn't planned really well but yeah it's |
516s | kind of it's really cool actually to go |
518s | and see how the experience has changed |
520s | yeah that's what i was just going to say |
521s | i'm excited to see the experience from |
524s | launch you know and now six months into |
527s | you know all this work totally and our |
529s | previous update did include things that |

562s | gonna go into greater detail what's |
563s | going on phil take it away |
566s | well all right |
568s | we can get started with uh an event that |
570s | we ran a little bit earlier this year |
572s | which was our double xp weekend where we |
574s | gave players a double player xp as well |
577s | as weapon mastery xp |
579s | uh and we got a lot of great feedback |
581s | from our players in the community that |
583s | it was a lot of fun we saw a bunch of |
585s | people coming in leveling up their |
586s | blunderbusses as well as everything else |
588s | but um it was really exciting to just |
590s | kind of come in blast |
592s | some lost some withered and and get big |
595s | bumps on your weapon and it was a a ton |
597s | of fun uh and and players of every level |
599s | had something to do and engage with so |
600s | anyway thank you for all like the |
602s | positivity you sent us around that stuff |
604s | we we had a lot of fun with it and we |
606s | glad we're glad you did too and we're |
607s | gonna look for more opportunities to |
609s | introduce those throughout the year |
611s | all right so along with the the free |
613s | weekend and the xp we also have another |
616s | little themed weekend coming up can you |
619s | tell us a little bit more about that one |
620s | and it's more than a weekend it's a |
622s | little bit longer than a weekend uh so |
625s | as you might have noticed uh there are |
628s | large corrupted rabbits invading eternum |
631s | and they you know i'm not really sure |
634s | where they came from but they are all |
637s | over the place and |
639s | they're dropping heck and good loot heck |
641s | in good blue okay note that down |
645s | make sure that yeah is noted |
648s | and uh so it's really cool so |
650s | for uh so we i think we launched this |
653s | april 12th starting from there uh |
655s | for a couple weeks players are gonna be |
657s | able to earn |
658s | uh some diamond gypsum from killing |
660s | these rabbits okay also they're also |
662s | gonna be able to earn um |
665s | a special like lucky rabbit's foot totem |
668s | oh okay that'll help them it's a really |
670s | good luck consumable |
672s | and then there's a very exclusive rare |
674s | drop which is |
676s | a cool-looking corrupted rabbit's uh |
679s | chest for their home oh so i love home |
682s | style so i have a question yeah am i |
684s | supposed to feel better about killing |
687s | the rabbits because they're corrupted of |
689s | course i still harbor deep regret for |
692s | having to kill stanley stanley no |
695s | i know |
697s | i had the stanley quest and i like i |
699s | went going to find him on rabbit island |
702s | and he like came hopping up to me |
704s | and i could pet him |
706s | i can't pet these rabbits right no you |
708s | cannot pet the prescripted ones you |
709s | don't want to harbor any excellent can |
712s | you imagine if it sentiment to |
714s | them would i be corrupted |
717s | um |
718s | anyway so yeah don't worry about these |
720s | these ones you know put them down that's |
722s | what they're there for done yep and uh |
724s | and then there's that that chest for |
726s | your house that's a very cool super |
727s | exclusive that's only going to be |
729s | available during this event and it's a |
730s | real jackpot moment if you can actually |
732s | find a rabbit that drops that for you |
734s | right that's kind of cool to show off |
735s | i'm going to put it right on my front |
736s | porch everything goes on my front porch |
738s | really there's nothing inside my house |
740s | yeah no just stack it up outside that's |
743s | right you got to be that guy |
745s | you got to be really come on i love |
748s | going in people's houses and looking |
749s | around you have a lot of space in mine |
751s | oh my gosh all right activities thanks |
753s | great to know |
754s | light colors |
756s | let's move on all right so future uh |
759s | let's give the players a little |
760s | something to look forward to do are |
762s | there any events or things that you guys |
764s | have planning |
765s | can't say too much i will say we are |
767s | hard at work on on creating some crafty |
768s | new fun events in the future okay um we |
771s | did announce the summer event coming out |
772s | but i think that's something we're going |
774s | to go into a lot more detail in in a |
775s | future dev video right so stay tuned |
777s | quite a few big dev videos coming up so |
780s | all right well thank you so much yeah |
782s | thanks |
787s | so the community team spends a lot of |
789s | times on the forums and there are three |
790s | topics that we see a lot of including |
793s | the pvp just in general we have the 3v3 |
796s | arenas and we have the expedition finder |
799s | so let's get a little bit more into |
801s | detail about what each of those things |
803s | are i have dave dan and dave with me |
805s | today so let's dive right in tell me |
807s | about the current state of the pvp uh |
810s | well |
810s | we want our next update to be really pvp |
812s | focused so we're going to be doing a |
814s | couple things the first one is what |
815s | we're calling the pvp reward track |
817s | so this is like an overall system that |
820s | helps pvpers in general so no matter |
822s | what activity you do say i'm out in the |
824s | open world and i kill dave |
826s | i am now going to get uh pvp reward |
828s | track uh experience for that okay so |
830s | there's two things i'll get one is the |
832s | the xp which will be sort of like a |
834s | general progression so i'll rank up and |
836s | be able to show off my pvp ability |
838s | uh the second thing i'm gonna get is a |
840s | new currency that we're calling pvp uh |
842s | salt uh so like |
845s | the the salt of his tears will power me |
847s | uh and i'll be |
849s | i'll be able to use that new currency to |
852s | purchase uh different rewards |
854s | uh what's great about this system is it |
856s | sort of it provides an overall way to |
858s | reward all sorts of pvp activity right |
861s | so i do an opr i'm gonna advance in this |
864s | track uh i do a faction control point i |
866s | do a faction pvp mission no matter what |
869s | i'm doing if it's pvp oriented i'm going |
870s | to be advancing in this okay and |
873s | speaking of cool activities to advance |
875s | this dave's got one of the cooler ones |
877s | coming up absolutely the next best way |
879s | to get all that salt is to join the pvp |
881s | arenas are you going to be able to join |
883s | up with these from the map uh they're |
884s | 3v3 uh best of five so you get first to |
888s | three rounds wins the match you're gonna |
890s | get lots of rewards for them uh you can |
892s | play with your team or you can go solo |
894s | queue if you want to uh the first three |
896s | in the first three out so basically you |
898s | just start filling these matches up and |
900s | instant starts up and you're going to be |
901s | pvp and gaining rewards so it should be |
903s | pretty fun if you one good thing we have |
905s | in there if people are trying to run |
906s | away a little too much in pvp which is |
908s | which is possible uh they're gonna have |
910s | the ring of fire start coming in to |
912s | force the fight towards the end of the |
913s | match just to make sure that that match |
915s | concludes in a fun way yeah these are |
918s | super fun like i love the way our combat |
920s | shines in this sort of smaller scale |
922s | right we've already got the big epic |
923s | wars right but this is like a little |
925s | more tactical it's very strategic it |
927s | shows off scale i think they're just |
929s | super fun yeah for sure something for |
931s | the pvpeers to really kind of spend some |
932s | time on yeah and then we have the |
934s | expedition finder you want to go into |
936s | that a little bit absolutely uh we're |
938s | bringing a expedition finder into the |
940s | game |
941s | uh so you know when you're trying to |
943s | find a party to do an expedition with |
945s | you don't have to go to chat anymore now |
946s | you can use this tool you can start you |
948s | can make a listing from a dungeon |
950s | entrance and then from there you you can |
952s | declare |
953s | the roles which are going to be new to |
955s | expedition groups moving forward you'll |
957s | be able to say you know we really need a |
959s | healer right now you can declare uh |
961s | damage healer or uh or tank for the |
964s | expedition oh that's really nice |
965s | actually i always said it |
968s | but that's really nice so you can uh |
971s | declare yourself you said a healer a dps |
973s | or a tank correct okay and then people |
976s | can see that when they search i'm sorry |
977s | i'm i'm so excited about this because |
980s | you can actually see what role people |
983s | are you know planning to play in the in |
985s | the group that's right and you can also |
987s | check out their stats you can make sure |
989s | that they have the the weapon masteries |
990s | and the you know the spec that that they |
992s | need to actually do the role okay so you |
994s | can check gear score and all that not |
995s | that anybody would no of course not |
998s | first not you can set your minimum level |
1000s | or minimum gear score okay and does |
1002s | everybody have to be at the expedition |
1004s | or just only the person who starts the |
1007s | the listing everybody else can just be |
1008s | wherever they are and |
1009s | get teleported great all right thank you |
1011s | so much guys |
1018s | community is something that we take |
1019s | really seriously around here as you may |
1021s | have noticed some of our community |
1022s | members spend a lot of times in the |
1024s | forums discord steam gathering feedback |
1027s | from all of you players and i know it's |
1029s | constantly said oh when did the devs get |
1031s | to answer when did the devs get to |
1033s | answer well when they're not actually |
1035s | actively working on the product i have |
1037s | them in here with me answering those |
1040s | questions so here are some of the most |
1042s | asked for things and uh we're going to |
1045s | start off with katie katie |
1047s | people are getting more and more |
1049s | passionate about the transfers both |
1051s | regional tokens |
1053s | server you know wanting to transfer to a |
1056s | more active server server merges |
1058s | anything to do with that can you please |
1060s | let us know more about that |
1061s | yeah so something super exciting is that |
1064s | in our um in our update |
1066s | we have more of the groundwork for |
1069s | regional transfers and we'll be able to |
1072s | open those up soon after so that's |
1074s | really exciting i know that a lot of |
1076s | folks have been interested in that we've |
1078s | been working our tails off getting that |
1080s | ready tested um so we're finally in a |
1082s | good spot with it that we feel confident |
1084s | and we're ready to release it |
1086s | um and then uh we are going to have paid |
1090s | character transfers so those will be |
1092s | available in the store |
1094s | um again soon after the update so those |
1098s | are two things that i know folks have |
1099s | been asking about right so those are |
1101s | those are coming out um so really |
1103s | excited that we finally get to do that |
1105s | yay |
1106s | i know the players will definitely be |
1108s | happy to hear that they've been talking |
1109s | about it a lot recently especially so |
1111s | yeah we just want to make sure that we |
1112s | get it right like |
1114s | that's that's the most important thing |
1115s | to us is doing it for the players and |
1117s | making sure we get it right that's great |
1118s | to hear |
1119s | and another topic that is asked for a |
1122s | lot and is getting a little heated right |
1124s | now is talking about weapon balance |
1126s | especially the bow do you want to go |
1127s | over some thoughts on that uh yeah i |
1129s | mean it's it's a good topic it's it's |
1132s | very truthful what the players are |
1133s | saying |
1134s | uh you know the bow is not up to par |
1136s | with some of the other weapons right now |
1137s | it's something we're looking at uh in |
1139s | particular with the fluidity of the of |
1141s | the bow the |
1142s | cancelling out of uh your attacks your |
1145s | abilities not canceling out quick enough |
1147s | uh some of the abilities not being super |
1149s | useful uh the |
1151s | sometimes being rooted basically what |
1153s | you feel the lack of translation after |
1155s | you shoot a lot of these things we're |
1157s | looking at them right now the rate of |
1158s | fire and the damage the overall damage |
1160s | output so they all kind of go together |
1162s | it's something we are we're we're |
1164s | actively working on we we know there's a |
1166s | bit of an issue there it was you know a |
1169s | little bit left behind from the other |
1170s | ones especially the magic weapons are a |
1171s | little higher further ahead of them uh |
1173s | and it's not something that we intended |
1175s | or want to have so that's something |
1176s | we're working on right now okay |
1178s | thank you so much for going over two of |
1180s | the topics that players have been asking |
1182s | about the most i appreciate it and i'm |
1183s | sure they do too thanks |
1187s | all right guys so that brings us to the |
1188s | end of today's dev video scott can you |
1191s | believe that we're going over so many |
1193s | things and we've been around now for six |
1195s | months it feels like it's been yesterday |
1197s | that we started yeah just doing these |
1199s | every month has been so fun and such a |
1201s | great way to connect with the community |
1202s | so like we're super appreciative of |
1204s | everyone watching and giving us the |
1206s | feedback it's great absolutely yeah we |
1208s | really do appreciate everybody giving us |
1210s | the feedback on the forums even on |
1212s | social media we do read through all of |
1214s | that so hopefully some of your questions |
1216s | were answered this month and if not |
1217s | we're going to be having these videos |
1219s | every month so we'll be able to go over |
1221s | some of those other questions too now i |
1223s | know you have a few fun stats for us for |
1225s | the six month anniversary yeah like you |
1228s | said it's been six months and we're |
1229s | amazon so we look at data and have |
1231s | numbers and i thought i'd share some of |
1233s | the interesting ones with you um |
1235s | we've had 33 |
1237s | 427 wars fought on eternum that's crazy |
1240s | that is insane |
1243s | almost 8 million expeditions run just |
1245s | under |
1247s | the most dangerous enemy |
1249s | captain thorpe in the depths has killed |
1252s | 4 million 830 |
1254s | 397 people and i might be one or two of |
1257s | those |
1258s | um |
1259s | and the big number that kind of makes me |
1260s | cringe is 413 million people have died |
1264s | on uh on the island and |
1267s | our creative director owns a lot of |
1268s | those deaths but i think our team owns a |
1270s | lot too and it's just been fun to |
1272s | to be a part of all that with all the |
1273s | players absolutely and we're just |
1275s | warming up right just getting started so |
1277s | just getting started as a matter of fact |
1279s | next month you know is uh something |
1281s | we've been talking about we're going to |
1282s | give you some more detail on our release |
1284s | for |
1285s | pvp arenas and the pvp reward track so |
1288s | we're pretty excited that is very |
1290s | exciting something that players have |
1291s | been asking for for a long time |
