| 0s | the first big difference between the |
|---|---|
| 2s | Hatchery is the winter Rune Forge can |
| 3s | drop gear score up to 700 so you're able |
| 6s | to get max level legendary items by |
| 8s | running this and the items in the uh |
| 10s | trial itself are pretty |
| 12s | [Music] |
| 13s | [Applause] |
| 17s | awesome welcome to for in aternum the |
| 20s | show where we talk about All Things New |
| 22s | World I'm your host today Chad redwitz |
| 24s | I'm the lead AI designer on New World |
| 27s | here I'm joined by Zachary Holm level |
| 30s | designer and Patrick Smedley our Seasons |
| 34s | designer today we are talking about the |
| 37s | winter Rune Forge you're going to do a |
| 38s | little Deep dive here uh to look at uh |
| 41s | the bosses and the and the encounters |
| 43s | and uh and all the raid makeup um and |
| 47s | then uh towards the end we're going to |
| 48s | answer a few Community questions but to |
| 51s | lead us off Zach you want to kind of |
| 53s | talk us through the the format of the |
| 55s | trial yeah so we went from the Hatchery |
| 59s | and decided decied to build on it a |
| 61s | little bit same standard format but we |
| 65s | start you off with a puzzle um so you're |
| 69s | going to walk in and you'll see some |
| 72s | runes on the wall and you'll have to |
| 73s | interact with those it's kind of |
| 75s | important we'll teach you Mechanics for |
| 77s | later in the uh trial might be important |
| 80s | for a boss fight right |
| 81s | yeah and so then once you move on from |
| 84s | there you've awoken the trial um and |
| 88s | you'll come into some randomized enemy |
| 89s | waves so no run of the fodder enemies |
| 92s | will be exactly the same uh Grace |
| 96s | periods similar so you can bring your |
| 98s | friends in uh if they've died and then |
| 102s | you you'll run into the mini boss who's |
| 105s | pretty kickass yeah the first one there |
| 107s | so we got the aidian |
| 109s | construct um so players might be |
| 112s | familiar with these bosses from the solo |
| 113s | trial but uh like I mentioned in a |
| 116s | previous video uh we're actually seeing |
| 118s | them in their full Glory uh their |
| 120s | original design intent which is this 10 |
| 123s | person trial so the the big mechanic |
| 125s | with the the aidian construct is that as |
| 128s | you damage it it splits apart into |
| 131s | smaller versions of itself um uh and |
| 135s | while those split versions are close |
| 137s | together they're empowered and and |
| 139s | practically unkillable so um so it's |
| 141s | going to be really important for players |
| 143s | to to pull them apart keep them |
| 145s | separated um as they split even more um |
| 149s | so uh so definitely uh bring those |
| 151s | taunting gems and uh you know maybe a |
| 155s | two tank fight maybe a three- tank fight |
| 157s | um certainly possible we got some |
| 158s | creative players out there I'm curious |
| 160s | to see what uh what strategies they come |
| 162s | up with um but uh but yeah great little |
| 165s | fight there yeah absolutely it's a fight |
| 167s | that is a great foil to the Hatchery |
| 169s | mini boss fight where you're trying to |
| 170s | bring enemies together this one you're |
| 172s | trying to spread them apart we took a |
| 173s | lot of the lessons we learned from that |
| 175s | fight and uh really use that to improve |
| 176s | this fight and make it you know pretty |
| 178s | memorable really happy with how it |
| 179s | turned out yeah absolutely this this |
| 181s | whole ice trial is definitely kind of |
| 183s | the flip side of the coin from the fire |
| 184s | trial which I think worked out really |
| 186s | great uh and then we got a real fun |
| 188s | transition at the end of the fight yeah |
| 190s | so if you don't notice while you're |
| 192s | fighting you'll notice pretty quick that |
| 194s | you're fighting on a sheet of ice um and |
| 196s | so when you defeat the aidian construct |
| 199s | the ice shatters and we get we played a |
| 202s | lot with verticality here so as you're |
| 204s | falling you know your camera shakes and |
| 206s | you're going to fall down past a bunch |
| 207s | of uh ancient architecture that's Fallen |
| 210s | part Bridges and stuff uh just a massive |
| 214s | underground complex that you've got here |
| 216s | and so you fall down to the bottom of |
| 218s | this ruined complex and it leads you |
| 221s | right into the next boss uh pretty |
| 223s | pretty spectacular Little Fall yeah and |
| 225s | you're deep into it and the uh the next |
| 227s | boss there is the uh the ice Guardian um |
| 231s | so this one uh uh presents some of those |
| 234s | Rune challenges like we talked about um |
| 237s | definitely some positional challenges as |
| 239s | well um |
| 241s | in this one in particular towards uh |
| 243s | towards the end of the fight uh the boss |
| 245s | will be kind of broken loose from its |
| 247s | hold uh and creating clones of itself |
| 250s | each one with a a portion of its power |
| 253s | uh the players kind of need to defeat uh |
| 256s | at the same time split their group and |
| 258s | kind of tackle these individual |
| 259s | challenges and then jump back onto this |
| 260s | boss that's it's kind of moving around |
| 262s | and presenting different challenges um |
| 264s | all the while trying to to stay warm |
| 266s | because we we've got this uh hypothermia |
| 269s | mechanic that's that's kind of chilling |
| 271s | the players and uh so we've got uh |
| 273s | torches around the room that you know |
| 275s | you need to to um engage with and keep |
| 278s | all of your your teammates warm yeah |
| 281s | what would you say is your favorite |
| 282s | mechanic in that fight uh I would say |
| 285s | the uh the the pure wedding and the the |
| 288s | the kind of spinning danger zones uh |
| 291s | that we present to the player um uh that |
| 294s | combined with the uh the torch H |
| 296s | hypothermia as well um I think presents |
| 300s | A new challenge to the player that we |
| 301s | hadn't really done before for sure it's |
| 303s | a lot of pretty intense group play uh |
| 305s | this fight I would say is a lot more |
| 306s | mechanically heavy than some of our |
| 307s | previous fights so we're leaning more |
| 309s | and more into intense mechanics that |
| 311s | players need to master and it's going to |
| 313s | be really fun to watch them uh give this |
| 315s | this trial a couple shots to really |
| 316s | learn those mechanics and see how they |
| 317s | do over time yeah I totally agree just |
| 320s | difficulty wise um like I said |
| 322s | previously definitely shooting for uh |
| 324s | not quite as hard as like sandworm uh so |
| 326s | it's a little bit more pug friendly um |
| 328s | but uh still thrown a good challenge at |
| 330s | the Players yeah absolutely but to uh to |
| 332s | talk about what people are really here |
| 334s | for Patrick you want to walk us through |
| 335s | the the rewards for the players yeah so |
| 337s | the reason we do any content we like |
| 339s | loot uh so this trial uh learns a little |
| 342s | bit from the Hatchery so the first big |
| 345s | difference between the Hatchery is the |
| 346s | winter Rune Forge can drop gear score up |
| 348s | to 700 so you're able to get max level |
| 350s | legendary items by running this and the |
| 353s | items in the uh trial itself are pretty |
| 354s | awesome so we have a great curated list |
| 356s | of named items that folks can chase and |
| 358s | we also have kind of the Pinnacle reward |
| 360s | that I'm really excited about it's the |
| 361s | great ax artifact that comes from the |
| 363s | boss so this is our Spin to Win |
| 365s | Barbarian fantasy uh great Axe let you |
| 368s | just Whirlwind endlessly effectively uh |
| 371s | and then you have a chance um chance of |
| 374s | getting that in each run anytime you do |
| 376s | not get that though the pity ticker |
| 377s | kicks in so after a set number of runs |
| 379s | you will be guaranteed this drop so no |
| 381s | need to farm this endlessly this is the |
| 382s | only reward you're after uh you players |
| 385s | can run this twice a week for bonus |
| 386s | rewards those rewards are awesome they |
| 388s | include named items procedural generated |
| 391s | items Dark Matter faction tokens and |
| 393s | more that's huge that's great yeah uh |
| 396s | all right well let's uh turn to a couple |
| 398s | of community questions |
| 401s | here uh all right so first question here |
| 404s | will the winter Rune Forge have |
| 406s | fundamental items like heart runes and |
| 408s | artifacts locked behind it these raids |
| 411s | are not typically achievable by players |
| 413s | who do not have a large friend group |
| 416s | example to date I still not do not have |
| 418s | the sandworm heart room |
| 420s | as I don't have access to that many |
| 422s | players yeah uh so that's a great |
| 424s | question the short answer is yes it will |
| 427s | uh the art fact we just talked about the |
| 428s | great X that's only going to come from |
| 430s | the winter Rune Forge and looking at our |
| 433s | kind of wider progression scheme and |
| 435s | like map we do like that certain rewards |
| 437s | are tied to specific content and that |
| 439s | you can only get that reward doing that |
| 441s | content not all of that content is going |
| 442s | to be accessible to all players some of |
| 444s | it will be really hard like the S worm |
| 446s | some of it might be PVP content that |
| 448s | some players might not like some might |
| 450s | be PVE content that PVP players don't |
| 451s | like we want to make sure different |
| 453s | groups of folks feel rewarded for their |
| 454s | time and putting unique rewards is one |
| 456s | way to do that that said with the sorm |
| 459s | heart run in particular that one is a |
| 461s | heart Rune that we're looking at adding |
| 463s | a Second Source too just because it's |
| 464s | been in the game for a while and access |
| 466s | to that raid as this player says uh can |
| 469s | be tough if you don't have a static |
| 470s | group of 20 folks to run with yeah yeah |
| 472s | it's a challenging balance for sure |
| 474s | because you want to reward the players |
| 475s | who are doing something exceptional at |
| 477s | the same time you don't want to block |
| 478s | people out from something for forever |
| 480s | yeah definitely so great uh and next |
| 484s | question uh is the winter Rune Forge |
| 486s | trial going to be going to include ways |
| 489s | to find groups easily lobbies or |
| 491s | matchmaking or it will be similar to the |
| 493s | Hatchery where you have to be pre-made I |
| 496s | believe we are not doing matchmaking or |
| 498s | or groupfinder for this is that correct |
| 500s | that's correct so in the short term this |
| 501s | will be uh just like the Hatchery where |
| 502s | you have to go use lfg chat to find your |
| 505s | group of folks to run with thankfully |
| 507s | only 10 people so easy enough to find a |
| 508s | group um I've definitely never had |
| 510s | issues finding groups for the Hatchery |
| 512s | so we hope to see the same behavior here |
| 514s | yep all right all right so obviously |
| 517s | there's a lot more Community questions |
| 519s | out there uh we'll be digging into that |
| 521s | more in the future uh but for now uh |
| 524s | just to wrap things up uh we want to |
| 526s | pose a question to the community um with |
| 528s | these 10p person trials um what are what |
| 531s | are your favorite mechanics what do you |
| 532s | like uh what would you like to see more |
| 534s | of um in particular kind of how 10 |
| 537s | person is is working better for than uh |
| 540s | than five person what what kind of |
| 542s | mechanics really working better in that |
| 543s | format for you um that'll do it for |
| 546s | today uh thank you all for joining us if |
| 549s | you like what you saw like And subscribe |
| 551s | and we'll see you in a |
| 555s | turnament uh and we're going to talk |
| 556s | about mounts in |
| 567s | [Music] |
