| 0s | can we get a Caster weapon that shoots |
|---|---|
| 2s | bees thanks I like bees I'm curious like |
| 5s | this person must have like a camera in |
| 8s | our office because like we've been |
| 9s | talking about this feature for so long |
| 11s | it's like it's literally at the top of |
| 14s | our feature |
| 16s | [Applause] |
| 20s | list hey everybody Welcome to the |
| 22s | October Forge in aternum where we do |
| 25s | community Q&A I'm here with Dave and |
| 27s | Katie and Lovin and we are going to get |
| 30s | started so bring those fun questions up |
| 33s | first I got to ask whose birthday is it |
| 35s | today I don't know happy birthday KY K |
| 40s | thanks everybody don't be so excited you |
| 44s | okay there's no more Whispering at the |
| 45s | beginning of these everybody's in |
| 47s | timeout okay well now that we have that |
| 49s | context let's go into the other |
| 51s | questions can't believe Chuck didn't |
| 52s | sing just saying he's back in the |
| 55s | back can we expect new artifacts in |
| 58s | heart run uh in upcoming events and |
| 61s | updates uh well good news here we will |
| 64s | definitely be introducing more artifacts |
| 66s | each season uh we'll be tying them to |
| 68s | new content or events that come out uh |
| 70s | heart ruins as we've discussed in the |
| 72s | past we are going to slow down on those |
| 73s | I think we've sort of hit critical mass |
| 75s | there and I don't think we're going to |
| 76s | have them sort of come out every season |
| 78s | anymore all right um well when will the |
| 81s | transfers open up so I can go play with |
| 83s | my friends who just came back yeah so we |
| 86s | review um the active users on uh those |
| 90s | populated worlds every day and we're |
| 92s | watching to see when that reduces um |
| 95s | when we can open those up so I can't |
| 97s | give you an exact time but I can say |
| 99s | that's something that we're watching |
| 101s | very closely and those will open up as |
| 103s | soon as there's space I do want to call |
| 105s | out that just because it shows that it |
| 107s | hasn't reached the max like population |
| 109s | cap on the world that does not mean that |
| 110s | that world is not full um as I've |
| 114s | mentioned before in other um updates or |
| 116s | other videos um Nisa is one of those |
| 120s | worlds where for a really long time it |
| 122s | wasn't showing its population cap but |
| 123s | its active user base was two times every |
| 127s | other world and what we saw was we had |
| 128s | to lock that world far in advance |
| 130s | because it had long cues um so we're |
| 132s | trying to avoid that with these other |
| 133s | worlds so we'll keep an eye on it we'll |
| 135s | let you know when they're open enough |
| 136s | that all right um any plans to rework or |
| 139s | remove the debuff resilience on |
| 141s | mutations two or three reducing mutation |
| 144s | levels and removing Wards Banes then |
| 146s | artificially adding difficulty to a |
| 148s | fiveman encounter by requiring certain |
| 150s | builds for weekend Ren pretty much puts |
| 152s | us back to square one for gear checks |
| 154s | and it removes a cool debuff exclusive |
| 156s | to the sandworm which works a lot better |
| 158s | since there's 20 people to work with the |
| 160s | bosses and mutations also have a base |
| 163s | empowered level so they're already still |
| 165s | extremely dangerous even if you hit this |
| 167s | theoretical weaken cap after resilience |
| 169s | is taken into account can you repeat |
| 173s | that uh it's a it's a fair question I |
| 176s | think overall uh no immediate change is |
| 179s | planned um we've been taking a look at |
| 181s | the data uh M2 mutations have a very |
| 184s | high win rate I think we're seeing |
| 186s | people do them pretty easily I've pugged |
| 188s | a few uh and made it through pretty |
| 190s | easily uh obviously it's even easier |
| 192s | with the company um so I think you know |
| 195s | no real ples there plans no plan changes |
| 198s | let me try that there uh M3 is |
| 200s | definitely a bit harder uh I think you |
| 202s | know it is intentionally made to be |
| 204s | harder our goal was that the M3 level |
| 206s | would be harder than M10 uh we like this |
| 209s | mechanism of introducing difficulty |
| 211s | versus just increasing health or damage |
| 214s | uh I think it it Spurs you know diverse |
| 217s | builds it brings in different types of |
| 219s | weapons to get uh the different status |
| 221s | effects so no immediate changes planned |
| 223s | and I think you know M3 is going to be |
| 226s | something that's going to be harder to |
| 227s | do with pugs and I think that's an |
| 229s | understood thing uh the good thing is |
| 231s | the rewards from M2 uh get you just |
| 234s | about everything uh that nm3 can in |
| 236s | terms of gear score you can still hit |
| 237s | 700 it's just a different percentage I I |
| 240s | think it's okay that the M3s are are |
| 242s | very hard I think you need that |
| 244s | difficult content so yeah all right uh |
| 247s | is there plan of reducing the difficulty |
| 249s | of worm raid from season 2 or at least |
| 251s | make the devour heart Rune obtainable |
| 253s | through other |
| 254s | methods uh so no changes to the |
| 257s | difficulty planned here uh you know we |
| 259s | released it intentionally very hard uh |
| 262s | and our thinking is that as people sort |
| 265s | of perfect their builds we hit 700 gear |
| 267s | score they set up their artifacts they |
| 269s | sort of op optimiz that increase in |
| 271s | power for players will allow a wider |
| 273s | player base to do the sand room it's |
| 275s | going to happen organically I think it's |
| 277s | going to happen organically uh but I do |
| 279s | think you know we're looking at putting |
| 280s | the heart Rune somewhere else uh you |
| 282s | know it won't happen in the short term |
| 283s | but you know maybe in in a season or two |
| 286s | that'll come all right um okay this one |
| 290s | I've seen a lot uh when will we get a |
| 292s | fix for the tent trolls that people keep |
| 295s | posting up over the top of the quest |
| 297s | makes it very hard to play the game when |
| 300s | when people are constantly doing it yeah |
| 302s | so oh you're going to take it no you go |
| 304s | ahead cuz I was going to say how I find |
| 306s | the term trolls offensive actually not |
| 308s | just the term Trolls but the actual |
| 310s | trolling is even more |
| 311s | offensive here's a hint on when we |
| 313s | recorded this |
| 315s | yesterday it was fixed yesterday and |
| 317s | released yesterday so it's in yep okay L |
| 321s | what that guy said by the time you watch |
| 323s | this it will be fixed yes I just wanted |
| 325s | to get one answer in the whole show you |
| 327s | guys have been taking everything so it's |
| 329s | it's a done thing it was yeah it was in |
| 331s | the release it was in the minor that was |
| 333s | came out on the 17th done deal okay um |
| 336s | do you have any plans to revisit the |
| 338s | sandworm raid and upscale it to make it |
| 340s | relevant again in season 4 you're |
| 342s | introducing mutated seasonal trials |
| 344s | would be nice to see a mutated Elite |
| 346s | sandworm trial as |
| 348s | well it's an interesting question |
| 350s | especially since the previous one can I |
| 351s | just hop in before you answer if you |
| 354s | ever wonder why we don't listen to your |
| 355s | feedback because everything's about half |
| 358s | of the People Want it one way and it's |
| 360s | like 4951 quite often and this is |
| 362s | another one of those examples it is a |
| 363s | Good Ju deposition though because we |
| 365s | often see this where a good percentage |
| 368s | of the player base and we'll you know |
| 370s | we'll call you casuals um you want to |
| 372s | take part in these these modes and we |
| 374s | totally understand that um but there's |
| 377s | also these really dedicated players that |
| 379s | want this really difficult content and |
| 381s | so we don't want to leave them out well |
| 383s | I would also like not just casuals |
| 386s | because you can play the game a lot and |
| 388s | not be as good as other people and I |
| 392s | think we'll see about that um but I |
| 395s | think it's like all play style there |
| 397s | there's a we should respect all play |
| 398s | Styles and try to support them and it's |
| 401s | you know it's easy to kind of get like |
| 403s | well that's what they want that's what |
| 404s | they want we our job is to try to find |
| 406s | that balance yeah anyway and I think we |
| 408s | did that with Expeditions right when we |
| 411s | introduced season 3 we now have what |
| 413s | we're calling like the story mode for |
| 414s | everybody so you can take part and then |
| 416s | the mutations are for the harder stuff |
| 418s | so that's an example of us listening to |
| 420s | player feedback uh I think the answer is |
| 422s | sort of the same as the past question no |
| 425s | no plan changes here I think uh you know |
| 428s | we think it'll get a little bit easier |
| 429s | as people gear up and then in the far |
| 432s | future we may consider uh upleveling |
| 435s | this but that's you know that's going to |
| 436s | be many seasons from now as a streamer |
| 439s | of only new world what if anything will |
| 442s | you do to anticipate an influx of people |
| 444s | for future releases queuing for hours |
| 447s | before you can play makes it hard to |
| 448s | stream at my available time yeah so um |
| 453s | we have this mechanism so firstly this |
| 455s | was introduced with Brimstone SS which |
| 457s | was um we have a latent character um |
| 461s | system where if you haven't played the |
| 463s | game in over 180 days you're moved off |
| 466s | of your world so that it makes room for |
| 467s | the active users for the active players |
| 470s | uh and that that frees up some space |
| 472s | that reduces cues uh the other thing |
| 474s | that we did at that time was once a |
| 476s | world is locked there's an auto unhide |
| 478s | so if there's no availability or reduced |
| 480s | availability in a region we Auto unhide |
| 482s | in another world one thing that we did |
| 484s | very recently was we tested a button |
| 487s | that's on the main menu so if you're in |
| 489s | a queue and you don't want to be in that |
| 491s | queue anymore you can now from the main |
| 492s | menu and this is only during times of |
| 495s | you know High cues big population coming |
| 498s | back from the main menu instead of you |
| 500s | having to go into the game to transfer |
| 502s | you can do it from the main menu you can |
| 503s | essentially make yourself latent and you |
| 505s | can then transfer to a world that's |
| 507s | available you do you do have to go in |
| 509s | get in a queue and then back out so that |
| 511s | the system knows you were in a queue |
| 513s | yeah but once you do that the main menu |
| 514s | a button will pop up when we have this |
| 517s | active yeah and we did a test and once |
| 519s | we are ready to roll out that feature |
| 521s | completely we'll have some FAQs around |
| 523s | it so players know how it's used okay |
| 525s | awesome um can we expect a rework to |
| 528s | magnify uh the current implementation |
| 530s | makes it really bad for split stat |
| 533s | builds uh yes we hear you I think this |
| 536s | is probably the most uh noticed question |
| 539s | uh we're hearing this a lot I think uh |
| 542s | there are no immediate plans to change |
| 544s | magnify I think on the positive side for |
| 547s | more casual players I think magnifi does |
| 550s | offer a lot of benefit it allows you to |
| 552s | easily switch between some stats uh and |
| 554s | if you're not super optimizing |
| 556s | especially if you're not dual stating uh |
| 559s | it does have a lot of value uh also like |
| 562s | magnify is one of the opportunities |
| 564s | there's also you know you can get more |
| 566s | specific gear if you're trying to Mid |
| 567s | Max through the various craft means and |
| 570s | set your specific attributes so uh no |
| 573s | immediate plans though we we hear you so |
| 575s | we're we're trying to come up with a |
| 576s | solution that's still provide some of |
| 578s | the benefits to the more General |
| 580s | audience that magnify provides while |
| 582s | also helping out the split stat uh |
| 584s | people no no immediate plans yet but |
| 586s | we're thinking about it um can you share |
| 589s | any plans for optimization |
| 592s | passes uh right now we're not ready to |
| 594s | share those but I can tell you that we |
| 596s | have a pretty big initiative that we're |
| 598s | going to be sharing with you in a few |
| 599s | months months okay all right well with |
| 602s | new dungeons time and time again will it |
| 605s | be possible to test if three dungeons |
| 607s | available on mutations will be viable |
| 610s | any plans to add more mutation perks |
| 612s | mixed |
| 613s | Elemental uh so we have some good news |
| 616s | here I think uh if you've seen the road |
| 618s | map we have crossworld Expeditions |
| 620s | coming and I think once we have that |
| 622s | we're going to have the larger |
| 624s | population pool and I think uh we're |
| 626s | planning on increasing the mutation |
| 627s | count to three then uh so that people |
| 630s | can especially now with with artifacts |
| 632s | and mutations you can sort of get to |
| 634s | them quicker and enjoy a larger set of |
| 636s | mutations and we don't currently have |
| 639s | plans to adjust the type of mutations |
| 641s | right no current plans for that yeah but |
| 643s | that is something that we're |
| 644s | continuously looking at to see what |
| 646s | opportunities there are and then what |
| 648s | actually fits in our development |
| 649s | pipelines yep can we get a Caster weapon |
| 653s | that shoots bees thanks I like bees I'm |
| 656s | curious like this person must have like |
| 658s | a camera in our office because like |
| 660s | we've been talking about this feature |
| 661s | for so long it's like it's literally at |
| 664s | the top of our feature list um kidding |
| 667s | of course um no immediate plans sorry uh |
| 671s | the be shooter while it sounds fun we do |
| 673s | have the beekeeper I know beekeper is |
| 675s | your |
| 676s | favorite a beekeeper would shoot smoke |
| 679s | out or some kind of foggy thing and not |
| 681s | bees out of their gun well they I mean |
| 684s | it's a turn on think about the be be |
| 686s | don't want to be shot out of a gun |
| 688s | that's horrible some you talk to the |
| 690s | bees have some heart care about our |
| 692s | little animals our little insects when |
| 693s | bees die do they repopulate on the |
| 695s | island yeah yeah right like anything |
| 698s | there any bees well there's some bees |
| 700s | but I mean there's the bees there's |
| 701s | honey there's got to be bees I don't |
| 703s | want to put miserable death there are |
| 704s | the little beehives that's true you got |
| 707s | to |
| 708s | smoke okay I think we're good on this |
| 711s | let's move forward um what happens if |
| 714s | artifact drops in a bag and you are |
| 716s | unable to pick it up because I have been |
| 718s | farming pugn puru for 40 hours now and I |
| 722s | cannot get lifetaker I believe it may be |
| 725s | bugged so uh the way that it works is if |
| 729s | you don't so if it drops and you don't |
| 731s | pick it up it doesn't count against your |
| 733s | your loot limit so you'll still be able |
| 735s | to farm it and find it however there is |
| 737s | a bug right now so if that happened if |
| 740s | it dropped and then you had a crash um |
| 743s | then it did count against it so that's |
| 745s | something that we are currently working |
| 747s | on we'll have a fixed um out as soon as |
| 750s | we can um but that's the only situation |
| 752s | in which it wouldn't in which it would |
| 753s | count against your your loot limit uh |
| 756s | well what will you do to address the |
| 757s | missing 20 free battle pass uh levels |
| 761s | fast pass for people who have maxed the |
| 763s | battle pass yeah so at the time of this |
| 765s | filming that has been um those 20 levels |
| 769s | that folks lost have already been |
| 770s | provided back to them if you were |
| 773s | already at a high level and you weren't |
| 775s | able to benefit from those passes that |
| 777s | you purchased um you're going to get |
| 779s | another um another box essentially that |
| 783s | you'll use next season um and I think |
| 785s | it's going to be called like season 4 |
| 787s | something that's very clear it'll show |
| 789s | up in that compensation area of the game |
| 791s | menu um and that will have your 20 |
| 793s | levels in it so you'll get to use it uh |
| 795s | for the next season okay awesome um are |
| 798s | there any plans to add more gear set |
| 801s | slots right now there aren't um we you |
| 804s | know we recently removed Banes and Wards |
| 806s | and that created a scenario we think |
| 809s | you're going to need a lot less slots |
| 811s | and we didn't want to start messing |
| 813s | around with that until we saw some data |
| 814s | and watched what the players were saying |
| 815s | so we'll look at it again in a few |
| 817s | months but right now there's no plans |
| 819s | all right um when can we expect fixes |
| 822s | for named items which are unupgraded in |
| 825s | Kiln uh they should be in our next patch |
| 828s | which is tentatively scheduled right |
| 829s | around Halloween so uh we're working on |
| 832s | it yeah um any news on the next Dev |
| 836s | update shortly after the next patch um |
| 839s | we're not sure yet but it should be |
| 841s | early November um that's all the |
| 843s | questions I got you got any questions |
| 845s | for |
| 845s | yourselves no you're good what are you |
