| 1s | hey everyone welcome to the season five |
| 3s | Dev update I'm here with the whole crew |
| 5s | I have Scott who always waves out of |
| 6s | turn so we'll do him first we have Dave |
| 9s | Tony Dan Chad and Zach and we have a lot |
| 12s | to share uh we were supposed to have a |
| 13s | few more people but thanks to the |
| 15s | apocalyptic California rainstorm to give |
| 17s | you a hint on when we're filming this |
| 19s | they will not be able to make it also |
| 21s | our printers don't work so some people |
| 23s | may be looking at their phones um but |
| 26s | before we get in with uh with all of the |
| 29s | goodies I did want to share uh some news |
| 31s | I I know we had promised a road map in |
| 34s | May and unfortunately we are not going |
| 37s | to be able to share that until June um |
| 40s | we take our commitments serious but |
| 41s | we've got some new information on our |
| 43s | side that's just going to mean we can't |
| 44s | share it uh we are still super excited |
| 47s | about it and hopefully that hopefully |
| 49s | you can all be patient and understand |
| 51s | it's just going to be a couple weeks |
| 52s | behind where we had planned on sharing |
| 54s | it outside of that we have some really |
| 56s | good news by the time you see this video |
| 59s | the advanced group finder should have |
| 60s | launched which we're all really excited |
| 62s | about um I haven't played it in live yet |
| 64s | it actually launches tomorrow morning |
| 66s | but uh as someone who plays on a lower |
| 68s | pop server Isabella I think it's going |
| 70s | to be |
| 71s | gamechanging all right well let's start |
| 72s | talking about all the great stuff coming |
| 74s | in season five we're going to start with |
| 76s | Zach who's going to take us through the |
| 77s | winter Rune Forge trial yeah so basing |
| 80s | off what we have with the Hatcher it's |
| 81s | going to be a 10-person trial with some |
| 83s | fodder and some boss encounters got a |
| 86s | nice ancient Subterranean architecture |
| 89s | with the icy Co on it and you're going |
| 91s | to be running through there doing some |
| 93s | cool stuff puzzles and you'll have some |
| 97s | cool rewards Dark Matter new artifact |
| 101s | twice a week for bonus rewards you can |
| 103s | play it as many times you as you want a |
| 105s | week though well you mentioned bosses be |
| 108s | cool if you could talk a little more |
| 109s | about |
| 110s | those I'll take that sure uh so uh in |
| 115s | this 10 person raid uh players will be |
| 117s | revisiting uh the aidian construct as |
| 119s | well as the ice Guardian uh so players |
| 122s | have probably already uh played these in |
| 124s | their kind of their solo uh trial |
| 126s | Incarnation uh but they were actually |
| 128s | designed and developed as uh 10p person |
| 131s | uh raid bosses so uh players will now be |
| 134s | seeing them in their full Glory their |
| 136s | full power um uh difficulty wise uh we |
| 140s | want to be a little bit more uh pug |
| 142s | friendly so uh so it won't be quite as |
| 144s | hard as like a sandworm uh but |
| 147s | definitely still on the challenging side |
| 148s | the uh the Aidan construct definitely a |
| 150s | challenge of positioning uh making sure |
| 153s | to pull apart those uh those constructs |
| 155s | as they're splitting and |
| 156s | fracturing and then uh the ice Guardian |
| 161s | uh more challenges with the the Rune |
| 163s | puzzle as well as uh uh positioning with |
| 166s | the uh the Torches going to be really |
| 168s | really important on that fight uh should |
| 170s | put a pretty good challenge in front of |
| 172s | the players pretty cool it's fun stuff |
| 175s | um I heard someone mention artifacts |
| 177s | Tony do you want to tell us a little bit |
| 178s | about the new artifacts coming this |
| 180s | season yeah so for season 5 uh we've got |
| 182s | a handful of new artifacts coming out uh |
| 184s | we've got some weapons armor and |
| 185s | trinkets uh I won't go into the details |
| 187s | of you know all the uh the different |
| 189s | perks and whatnot just leave that for |
| 191s | Discovery uh but personally for me a |
| 193s | couple I'm excited about uh we've got |
| 195s | the uh gravity gauntlets which is going |
| 197s | to give you um a stacking buff on your |
| 201s | heavy attack so every light attack you |
| 203s | get 3% additional damage uh up to 10 |
| 206s | stacks for your next heavy so if you can |
| 207s | like pair that with some crits you can |
| 209s | do some really good damage |
| 211s | and then the other one is the Phoenix |
| 212s | which is a trinket uh and that one is |
| 214s | every 180 seconds uh if you hit zero |
| 217s | health and you're supposed to die you'll |
| 218s | gain two seconds of invulnerability so |
| 220s | anybody who may have played a while ago |
| 222s | and used to enjoy that from berserk on |
| 223s | the hatchet uh it's there there in in an |
| 226s | artifact form so I'm really excited |
| 228s | about those two and I like the uh |
| 230s | there's a pair of boots coming out that |
| 232s | sort of encourage like the Ambush uh |
| 234s | kind of gameplay combat mechanic where |
| 236s | you get a bonus damage uh for a short |
| 238s | period of time after you go into combat |
| 241s | right so you know like your openers |
| 243s | become way more uh impactful initiative |
| 246s | role basically exactly uh and one thing |
| 250s | I wanted to add is you know we're |
| 251s | starting to add a lot of artifacts and I |
| 253s | know we've had a couple players complain |
| 255s | or or sort of mention hey it's sort of |
| 259s | two what are two it's sort of limiting |
| 261s | to only be able to sort of track and |
| 262s | upgrade five at a time well we have some |
| 264s | good news in season five we are |
| 266s | increasing that to 10 so that will help |
| 268s | players a lot that's awesome uh one last |
| 271s | thing on the subject of artifacts uh the |
| 273s | the the the improved group funer that's |
| 275s | coming out this is kind of a late update |
| 277s | but the L stopwatch which gives a taunt |
| 279s | ability will work in the role select for |
| 283s | signing up as a tank uh that's late |
| 285s | breaking update we were able to get that |
| 287s | in awesome it's awesome thanks for the |
| 289s | critical news upd yeah everybody can |
| 292s | relax it's okay now we're good um no it |
| 295s | is actually nice um so one of the things |
| 298s | we've been asked for a lot over the the |
| 300s | last year I'm pretty excited well I'll |
| 302s | I'm pretty excited to let Dave talk |
| 304s | about is uh the thing that used to be |
| 306s | sitting up there in one of our videos |
| 308s | you want to run with this uh yeah I |
| 310s | think you're talking about controller I |
| 311s | am talking about controller so season |
| 313s | five finally brings a long awaited uh |
| 316s | first step of control or support in New |
| 318s | World uh so as I mentioned this is step |
| 320s | one we are mostly focused on core |
| 323s | gameplay in this one so uh really just |
| 325s | making sure all the sort of running |
| 327s | around navigating combat all that feels |
| 329s | really good uh We've added a couple cool |
| 331s | things with that uh focus on core combat |
| 334s | navigation and and number one is some |
| 336s | aim assist uh which will be active |
| 338s | during PVE uh a Target lock that you can |
| 341s | use uh and also some refinements to the |
| 343s | way navigation works on the controller |
| 345s | so that is been really our Focus for |
| 347s | this release uh we also have implemented |
| 350s | uh you know a virtual cerer that'll |
| 351s | allow you to navigate around the various |
| 353s | menus you'll see a couple of the menus |
| 355s | we've added sort of hints and shortcuts |
| 357s | to already more of those will be coming |
| 359s | along along uh over the subsequent |
| 361s | Seasons we'll be trying to update all |
| 362s | the screens so there's sort of quick |
| 364s | ways to do some of the actions uh the |
| 367s | last thing I think some people may miss |
| 369s | uh in season five is there is no |
| 370s | remapping there's a couple default uh |
| 373s | options you can choose from but no |
| 374s | remapping in season five uh obviously we |
| 377s | are aware of that we are going to bring |
| 378s | it to uh you later it's just wasn't |
| 380s | ready for season five I encourage people |
| 383s | to play with the controller it's uh it's |
| 385s | gamechanging I mean it feels so |
| 388s | different and a and it feels good |
| 390s | especially if you're more of a |
| 391s | controller type of player I'm excited |
| 393s | for |
| 394s | it um all right well another thing we've |
| 397s | been that we have that we've been |
| 399s | promising for a long time is the |
| 402s | finalization of the 1360 msq update so |
| 406s | msq 2.3 which finishes the story you |
| 409s | want to give some high levels on that |
| 411s | yeah just high level because there's |
| 412s | going to be a a full Forge in aternum |
| 415s | that details all this so I don't want to |
| 416s | spoil it uh but like Scott said this is |
| 418s | sort of the culmination of the msq 2.3 |
| 420s | pass all the way through uh and this one |
| 423s | we focused on Evans scale reach and |
| 425s | Shattered Mountain uh sort of bringing |
| 426s | the rest of the story in uh it brings |
| 429s | with it two new Soul trials which are |
| 430s | going to be super fun it brings in a |
| 432s | host of new igc's uh a couple of the new |
| 436s | like sort of painterly cinematics uh so |
| 439s | it's great and I think most importantly |
| 440s | of all for the solo players out there uh |
| 443s | you will now be able to do the whole |
| 445s | story uh of the Isabella Arc all the way |
| 448s | without having to do Expedition you can |
| 450s | do it all solo so pretty exciting stuff |
| 453s | I think the Isabella fight is a blast I |
| 455s | think uh you know Chad and his team have |
| 457s | done a great job making that it's like |
| 459s | it's really come together it's a it's a |
| 461s | cool Final stamp on that story from from |
| 464s | Hardcore story to |
| 467s | cooking but we have made some changes to |
| 469s | cooking so why don't you take us through |
| 470s | those Tony yeah absolutely so uh we do |
| 473s | have a lot of changes to uh cooking uh |
| 475s | coming up here in the future I'm not |
| 476s | going to go into too many details |
| 477s | because we're going to have a forge and |
| 478s | a tum coming out shortly after this |
| 480s | video as well as some more fun cooking |
| 483s | Shenanigans uh in the future after that |
| 485s | but the high level of it is we wanted to |
| 487s | take a look at the trade skill now that |
| 488s | we have uh a better understanding of |
| 490s | what players are chasing what players |
| 492s | are making what players are cooking um |
| 494s | there was a lot of stuff in the cooking |
| 497s | trade skill we really wanted to pair |
| 498s | that back and really focus on what |
| 499s | players we're using so we cut back |
| 502s | significantly on the recipes uh we did |
| 505s | tuning on uh experience curves as well |
| 507s | making it easier and more fluid to |
| 510s | uh and just a whole lot of changes uh it |
| 513s | really Slims down the crafting menus |
| 515s | which helps with performance uh just all |
| 517s | in all I think the changes make it feel |
| 519s | a lot more focused I guess if you will |
| 522s | uh and so really looking forward to some |
| 523s | of the changes we have for cooking uh |
| 525s | and other things as we simplify those as |
| 527s | well yeah I think the exciting thing is |
| 529s | to see the response to this and then if |
| 530s | we like it start looking at other trade |
| 532s | skills and repeating the pattern yeah |
| 533s | exactly that's a really good point you |
| 534s | know the the feedback that we get from |
| 536s | this is going to influence and then you |
| 538s | know motivate how we approach other |
| 540s | trade skills as we do these in the |
| 542s | future and and so what can players |
| 544s | expect in terms of like the things that |
| 545s | they've already cooked or like their |
| 547s | existing items like how that's a great |
| 549s | Point yeah so let's say um so I can I'll |
| 553s | talk to split stat Foods right and so |
| 554s | maybe you have uh Focus strength food uh |
| 558s | for whatever reason and when this patch |
| 560s | comes out uh what we're going to be |
| 562s | doing is whatever the main stat is for |
| 565s | the split stat Foods you're going to be |
| 567s | getting the same tier as that as a |
| 570s | primary stat so if you had Focus |
| 571s | strength at tier four you're just going |
| 574s | to have a tier four Focus food and |
| 577s | that'll go all the way through and it |
| 578s | does it for uh crafting Foods Gathering |
| 580s | Foods because again a lot of the |
| 582s | simplifications uh there's just one tier |
| 584s | for crafting and Gathering now as well |
| 586s | we lower the level requirement to use |
| 588s | those uh and again it just should feel |
| 591s | like a much more polished experience |
| 593s | that's awesome uh we have a change |
| 596s | coming to opr Dan that you want to talk |
| 598s | about yeah uh some some of us glimpsed |
| 601s | this in a in a PTR a few ptrs back but |
| 604s | uh we're very excited that we um we've |
| 607s | done some we we've we've got this ready |
| 609s | to go out and mounts are now allowed in |
| 611s | opr starting in season five that is |
| 615s | going to be awesome I cannot waits to |
| 618s | see 20 people riding their Mount across |
| 621s | it's gonna be awesome it's gonna be cool |
| 623s | it feels like a whole new mode it's |
| 624s | really good that's great um so a while |
| 627s | ago we I think it was quite a while ago |
| 630s | we talked about that we were looking at |
| 631s | overhauling our combat system um and I |
| 634s | think we're pretty much getting pretty |
| 636s | close to Rolling that out Dave do you |
| 637s | want to share some Deeds Yeah so |
| 639s | basically we're redoing the sort of core |
| 641s | scripting system which uh drives all the |
| 644s | animation and combat logic in our game |
| 647s | uh this is a huge initiative obviously |
| 650s | uh you know it's all combat all |
| 652s | navigation uh and it's all being redone |
| 654s | in this new system uh the new system uh |
| 657s | there's actually going to be a Blog by |
| 659s | Kevin uh who's the architect who did all |
| 661s | this that that sort of Dives deep into |
| 662s | how it works because I don't understand |
| 664s | it all but the key thing to understand |
| 665s | is that it is now going to be uh |
| 667s | basically natively compiled C++ code so |
| 670s | that makes it way way faster uh which is |
| 673s | going to be great especially in sort of |
| 674s | like very complex scenes like in War uh |
| 678s | or in chest runs wherever there's a lot |
| 679s | of death density uh this will really |
| 681s | help out uh but yeah it is a major |
| 684s | overhaul uh all of our actions all of |
| 686s | our abilities everything has changed so |
| 688s | you know there is a chance that some |
| 690s | things may be slightly different |
| 692s | hopefully for the better uh but please |
| 694s | let us know if you notice anything |
| 695s | playing uh that you think is less good |
| 698s | uh than it was previously let us know uh |
| 700s | but yeah the the goals here are one |
| 702s | really help Improvement uh in |
| 704s | performance and second uh this is |
| 706s | actually a much more debuggable system |
| 708s | because it's natively compiled we can |
| 710s | set in break points we can check |
| 711s | variables all sorts of things that makes |
| 713s | it easier to to debug so this the |
| 716s | engineers in the group perhap but what |
| 718s | that means for for you all the players |
| 720s | is that it will be easier to fix bugs uh |
| 723s | and especially the desyncs which are |
| 725s | really hard to fix on our old uh system |
| 727s | will be much easier to fix so uh look |
| 729s | forward to improve performance and then |
| 732s | uh improve stability and Bug fixing in |
| 734s | the future but there might be a little |
| 735s | hump uh as we first introduced this in |
| 737s | season five where we're sort of ironing |
| 740s | out all the Kinks and let me just manage |
| 742s | expectations like we got the base system |
| 744s | in so your performance may not have a |
| 746s | drastic improvement immediately it's |
| 748s | going to enable us to stand and improve |
| 750s | it over time in a much more dramatic way |
| 752s | so day one you may not get a huge |
| 754s | performance gain but it's going to give |
| 756s | us data and the ability to go back and |
| 758s | and and make performance better and by |
| 760s | the way it will get better but there's |
| 762s | going to be more leaps coming because of |
| 764s | this framework and and there should be a |
| 767s | noticeable um decrease in like the the |
| 769s | memory footprint yeah especially on the |
| 771s | server right server and client yeah so |
| 775s | it's a big deal and uh you know we we |
| 777s | like Dave said this would be a great one |
| 779s | to give us feedback on as you know |
| 781s | remember different doesn't mean bad but |
| 784s | figure out but help us understand what's |
| 786s | bad not just different all right well |
| 788s | we're going to go back to Tony who's |
| 789s | going to tell us about some of the |
| 790s | upcoming events in season five yeah so |
| 792s | we've got a couple of year old favorites |
| 793s | returning uh we're going to have |
| 795s | rabbit's Revenge coming back where |
| 796s | you'll be able to go ahead and kill your |
| 798s | furry friends in order to get that |
| 800s | coveted chest that everybody always goes |
| 801s | after and then uh we also have a spring |
| 803s | TI Bloom uh coming around again uh with |
| 805s | some revamped rewards so we're excited |
| 807s | to see players dive into those and and |
| 809s | uh and earn some cool stuff all right |
| 811s | and we're going to finish on a positive |
| 813s | hopefully uh Dave has a surprise to |
| 815s | share about a new quality of life |
| 817s | feature that he's really built up so I |
| 819s | hope it lives up to it I think it will |
| 821s | uh Beyond just the artifact change which |
| 823s | we mentioned earlier which is great ql |
| 825s | uh another piece of feedback we've |
| 827s | gotten a lot is magnify hey this thing |
| 830s | can be hard to manage in all my builds I |
| 832s | wish I had a little more control uh and |
| 835s | you know we've gotten lots of different |
| 836s | suggestions how to do it in season five |
| 838s | we're going to be introducing a new ql |
| 840s | change where you can choose the |
| 842s | attribute that all your magnify applies |
| 845s | to what could be better than that so uh |
| 849s | we like this approach you can't like |
| 851s | individually apply them all which some |
| 853s | people had suggested we thought that was |
| 854s | a little bit too strong but here you can |
| 855s | choose one attribute for all your |
| 857s | magnify points uh and it should give you |
| 859s | a little more flexibility in terms of |
| 861s | builds especially if you use magnify |
| 863s | across multiple builds awesome all right |
| 866s | well that's all we have today thanks for |
| 867s | watching um if you like what you saw and |
| 870s | you want us to keep doing these like us |
| 871s | follow us um subscribe and all of that |
| 875s | otherwise thank you so much and we will |
| 876s | see you in a |
| 878s | turnam hey I thought the big surprise |
| 880s | was going to be uh that we're lowering |
| 882s | the cost of reec what happened one more |
| 885s | of Q update that's super important uh |
| 887s | we've got lots of feedback on respecing |
| 890s | especially in our classless system hey |
| 891s | it costs too much well guess what the |
| 894s | cost is being shattered we got a huge |
| 896s | sale in season 5 Respec is Now 50 coin |
| 901s | 50 coin |
| 902s | woohoo it's like a peck of gum come |
| 905s | on all right anyway thanks see you |
