| 16s | hi everybody Welcome to a forestry to |
| 18s | tournament where we talk about all |
| 19s | things new world today we're gonna do |
| 22s | this episode focused on community |
| 23s | questions and we think the timing is |
| 25s | great because we just released the |
| 27s | December Dev update |
| 29s | and uh there's a lot of doozies out |
| 31s | there |
| 32s | so what we're going to do today is we're |
| 34s | going to have help from Mr Levin and he |
| 37s | is going to ask us some questions and |
| 39s | we're going to do our best to answer |
| 40s | them and control our sorrow and sadness |
| 43s | if they're too hard what a joke of a |
| 45s | road map what do you guys have part-time |
| 47s | employees this should all be three |
| 49s | months not six and no PVP content |
| 51s | unbelievable |
| 54s | okay |
| 56s | I will start with the part-time |
| 57s | employees we do not have part-time |
| 59s | employee well I mean there's probably |
| 60s | some but overall our team is uh |
| 63s | full-time we're full-time and we have |
| 65s | the same number actually a few more uh |
| 67s | on our 2023 team that we did in 2022 our |
| 71s | second year has a few more people than |
| 73s | our first year uh so you can expect to |
| 76s | see as much or more content and more |
| 79s | features coming in this year as we had |
| 81s | last year very important |
| 83s | um well that that also ties into the |
| 86s | first statement of what a joke of a road |
| 87s | map like we don't put everything on the |
| 90s | roadmap that we share because some of |
| 92s | the staff will be able to get sooner |
| 94s | some things you know we have planned but |
| 96s | we're not ready to share them yet so not |
| 99s | everything is on there we've mentioned |
| 101s | some really key features but there's a |
| 104s | lot more there yeah these are the ones |
| 105s | we have super high confidence in and |
| 107s | that we're ready to make a commitment to |
| 109s | and in full disclosure I mean last year |
| 111s | we had really high confidence in the |
| 112s | road map and we had one of the items |
| 114s | slip out leaderboards which will um |
| 116s | which are now scheduled for I think |
| 120s | February yeah so they're coming up |
| 122s | before |
| 123s | the the next before the next major |
| 126s | release |
| 128s | what was the rest of the question did we |
| 129s | answer no PVP content unbelievable |
| 133s | um |
| 135s | do you want to talk a little about |
| 137s | that said so this only contains the |
| 139s | stuff we have super high confidence on |
| 141s | uh one of the things Dan and I talked |
| 143s | about is you know the influence game and |
| 145s | how we're going to be making some |
| 146s | changes to that I think that's really |
| 148s | going to spice it up the open world PVP |
| 150s | because I think people are super excited |
| 151s | about that part |
| 152s | and uh having read through a lot of the |
| 155s | questions I'm sure that opr will come up |
| 156s | and we can talk about that if it doesn't |
| 159s | we'll ask it ourselves at the end what |
| 161s | about daggers what are we doing devs |
| 164s | all right what are we doing |
| 166s | uh and often asked questions so weapons |
| 169s | are really hard I just want to state |
| 171s | that up front we got to get the balance |
| 172s | right so we didn't feel comfortable |
| 174s | committing to a date or what the |
| 176s | specific weapon is what I will say is |
| 178s | that it will likely not be daggers uh we |
| 181s | are looking into I think we need another |
| 183s | Focus weapon it's something we've been |
| 184s | talking about uh we want to complement |
| 186s | that sort of healing buffing sort of |
| 189s | support class a little more so the most |
| 191s | likely next weapon will be around focus |
| 193s | and we're just not ready to commit to a |
| 195s | date on it yet you know adding a weapon |
| 197s | to new world is adding a class to other |
| 199s | MMOs so it's a big change it can change |
| 201s | it has so many other effects and |
| 204s | we just got the great sword out there |
| 207s | and we want to let that get in the wild |
| 208s | and let them kind of meta settle in and |
| 210s | then figure out where that's going to |
| 211s | land so |
| 212s | we we are working on the next item |
| 216s | but we're not ready to say what it is or |
| 218s | when it's coming and then specific to |
| 220s | daggers that's still part of the |
| 222s | conversation like this is not something |
| 224s | that we're just like it's not the next |
| 226s | weapon we're not talking about it |
| 227s | anymore it's still part of the |
| 229s | conversation nothing about mounts |
| 231s | well mounts are another very very big |
| 234s | feature and uh |
| 235s | I can tell people that we are working on |
| 238s | mounts but we are nowhere near ready to |
| 240s | commit to like when they're going to be |
| 242s | done |
| 242s | um |
| 244s | mounts are super important to New World |
| 246s | we hear we get it the good news is |
| 248s | traveling through the world feels really |
| 250s | good right now so I don't think mounts |
| 252s | are critical for that but I think they |
| 253s | are critical as the world gets bigger |
| 256s | and as |
| 257s | just another thing to accessorize and |
| 259s | kind of show off your you know your to |
| 261s | give players more agency yeah it's going |
| 263s | to be there's probably going to be a |
| 264s | trade skill around it like you know an |
| 267s | ability to progress and grow something |
| 269s | down yeah so when are you merging Fresh |
| 271s | Start so they're not all dead |
| 273s | cool cool cool yeah so we have plans to |
| 277s | merge Fresh Start worlds for sure |
| 280s | um and we are constantly every week |
| 283s | looking at opportunities to merge |
| 285s | servers if we notice that some aren't |
| 287s | doing as well as others we do want to |
| 290s | take into consideration |
| 292s | um you know Fresh Start worlds are |
| 293s | supposed to be these kind of pristine |
| 295s | new worlds so we need to make sure that |
| 298s | we're we're being very conscious about |
| 300s | our decisions with it but there are |
| 303s | definitely merges coming for Fresh Start |
| 304s | worlds with the upcoming transmog will |
| 307s | we be able to dye skins |
| 311s | yes excellent news yeah for sure |
| 317s | cool I don't know I mean I can elaborate |
| 319s | but I don't know what the point would be |
| 320s | so uh well in my opinion you guys should |
| 323s | get rid of the 10 difficulties of |
| 325s | mutations and instead only have four |
| 328s | uh I agree uh I think we have too many |
| 332s | levels of mutations and it makes finding |
| 334s | groups hard we are looking into |
| 336s | squashing them uh to sort of make |
| 338s | matchmaking easier to happen uh we're |
| 341s | not ready to commit on a date but we're |
| 343s | definitely looking into that and it is |
| 345s | going to happen and there are other |
| 347s | changes that we're looking at longer |
| 349s | term that like |
| 350s | for things like this the timing is |
| 351s | really important so there's you'd rather |
| 353s | bottle up two or three things that are |
| 355s | going to have us that can all kind of be |
| 357s | changed at the same time and make a lot |
| 359s | of sense I agree yeah what might we want |
| 362s | to bottle that up with it yeah |
| 364s | um I'm not gonna and |
| 367s | you said leaderboards are coming in |
| 369s | February yeah |
| 370s | yeah okay great so once again I do want |
| 372s | to apologize that should have been uh I |
| 374s | left that out of the road map and that |
| 376s | was a Miss on my part because it was in |
| 378s | last year's and we just kind of thought |
| 380s | we had communicated it but I don't think |
| 381s | I did a very good job there so |
| 383s | so what's with the September part of the |
| 385s | road map are you keeping that for the |
| 387s | game awards a new expansion weapon |
| 389s | because this is not much content |
| 392s | we didn't we're not |
| 395s | we're not yet because it's it's so far |
| 398s | in the future and we have a lot of big |
| 399s | things that might land there and they |
| 401s | might not and the last thing we want to |
| 402s | do is come out here and say |
| 404s | we're going to have something on the |
| 405s | roadmap which missed |
| 407s | um like I mentioned with leaderboards |
| 408s | like that was that was a mission we're |
| 409s | not happy about that I think we're going |
| 412s | to have a lot more to share on September |
| 414s | as we get you know |
| 416s | five six months into into 2023 we're |
| 419s | going to be able to give you a lot more |
| 420s | insight into what September and December |
| 423s | look like |
| 424s | wish they dropped the development around |
| 426s | seasonal events and just focus on the |
| 428s | game |
| 430s | yeah I think what this one's trying to |
| 431s | say is put more features in and take |
| 433s | people off seasons and the thing is um |
| 435s | it's it's different like it's different |
| 438s | groups of people who build Seasons |
| 439s | seasons are built by our content team |
| 441s | so it's not like we could say we're not |
| 444s | going to do seasons and we'll pull opr |
| 445s | crossworld opr in by six months or |
| 448s | anything like that it's a very |
| 450s | the reason some things are timed where |
| 452s | they are if you look at gear set storage |
| 454s | transmog and crossworld opr it hits the |
| 457s | same people who have very specialized |
| 458s | skill sets and you know it's |
| 461s | unfortunately got to be serialized a |
| 462s | little bit and the nice thing about |
| 464s | those seasonal events is once we have |
| 466s | them done once we have the base right in |
| 468s | the future we can just make incremental |
| 470s | adjustments and it's not as costly so we |
| 472s | get a lot of future value out of them |
| 474s | well and also like |
| 476s | we get a lot of feedback on the first |
| 478s | one and then when we're changing it we |
| 479s | don't have to build something from |
| 480s | scratch again we could actually say oh |
| 482s | players want us to do this or they want |
| 483s | us to do this and we can definitely make |
| 485s | some improvements there yeah so when you |
| 487s | see on the road map that we have an |
| 489s | event that you've already seen before |
| 490s | you can make an assumption that we've |
| 494s | made some adjustments since the last |
| 495s | time you saw it they might not be huge |
| 497s | but we've made some but that's giving us |
| 499s | time to work on those other items that |
| 501s | you so deeply want and we want for you |
| 504s | forged an eternum what's the deal is |
| 506s | this going to replace Dev updates no |
| 510s | and she said what she said no absolutely |
| 513s | not uh we think the dev updates are |
| 515s | important |
| 516s | These are nice supplemental |
| 518s | conversations and it the the one of the |
| 521s | goals is to kind of share with the |
| 523s | community some of the discussions we |
| 524s | have internally and give a little more |
| 526s | look behind the curtain of game |
| 527s | development um |
| 529s | you know as you're watching these like |
| 530s | we do read the comments which like you |
| 532s | said we're answering some here today |
| 534s | if you want some changes to forage and |
| 536s | turn them to the format or anything let |
| 537s | us know like we're open to that for sure |
| 539s | yeah they're they're very different |
| 541s | things that we're giving players with |
| 543s | these with forged versus the dev updates |
| 546s | it's good to call out that forged has |
| 548s | like a bunch of different topics we're |
| 550s | going to cover from really deep |
| 552s | development topics to very light like |
| 554s | the lore one very light you know kind of |
| 557s | jovial topics because we're just excited |
| 560s | to get their information we wanted we're |
| 562s | more excited about the community |
| 563s | question than you know whatever you |
| 565s | Jokers are talking about just kidding |
| 567s | um but the dev updates I want to I want |
| 569s | it to be very clear because they were |
| 571s | coming out like every month and we're |
| 573s | we're not doing that part of it anymore |
| 575s | so we can't confirm we're going to have |
| 577s | a Dev update every month we're going to |
| 579s | try to do them as often as possible but |
| 581s | the fortune in a tournament will kind of |
| 582s | be that what you can see in the inner |
| 584s | Rim between those videos that gives you |
| 586s | an insight into the team so yeah I think |
| 589s | one of the reasons that we want to not |
| 590s | do the dev updates every month is we |
| 592s | hear the feedback that we're telling you |
| 594s | stuff you you already know so we're |
| 596s | trying to use the dev updates to tell |
| 598s | you things you don't I mean some people |
| 599s | may not may know some of this stuff but |
| 600s | we're trying to use it as more here's |
| 602s | some new information for you like the |
| 604s | roadmap than the last one |
| 606s | all right and last one I have here is |
| 608s | new opr Arena Maps is what I was hoping |
| 611s | for |
| 613s | so we've talked a lot about a new map |
| 615s | for opr and to be honest there's there's |
| 618s | a divide right like there's some value |
| 619s | in adding that but it also splits groups |
| 622s | it changes matchmaking how do we decide |
| 624s | which map we go on so uh we're still |
| 626s | talking about but we don't have that |
| 628s | planned in the near future but we do |
| 630s | want to refresh opr a little bit and I |
| 632s | think you know we have crossworld opr |
| 634s | coming out it was on the roadmap it |
| 637s | wouldn't surprise me if we did you know |
| 638s | some improvements some tuning and a |
| 640s | little bit of a light revamp on opr when |
| 643s | we release crossworld |
| 645s | this would be a great question to the |
| 646s | community actually yeah if we were going |
| 648s | to make some adjustments to opr |
| 651s | what would you like to see yeah is that |
| 653s | your community question that's my |
| 654s | community question |
| 655s | okay great close this out awesome well |
| 657s | thanks for joining us this time on |
| 659s | forged in the tournament you heard the |
| 661s | community question what changes would |
| 663s | you like to see us make to our current |
| 665s | opr we'd love to hear those again if you |
| 667s | like the show let us know by subscribing |
| 669s | or following it really helps us know |
| 671s | that we should keep doing these |
| 672s | and otherwise we will see you in a |
| 675s | tournament |
| 677s | hey everybody sorry to break in here and |
| 680s | uh interrupt the end of this but after |
| 682s | watching back the video I realized that |
| 684s | we didn't cover some of the major |
| 685s | elements that we're engaged in so our |
| 688s | goal is to periodically deliver major |
| 690s | content drops ideally annually |
| 693s | birthstone that we just released was an |
| 695s | example of how we think about those |
| 696s | major updates and I wanted to let you |
| 698s | know we're working on another one of |
| 700s | those for next year as well I just am |
| 702s | not ready to get into the specifics or |
| 704s | the timeline yet because we don't have |
| 706s | enough information to where I can say |
| 707s | that with any confidence |
| 709s | um but I did want to let you know that |
| 711s | we are working toward that and we have |
| 712s | significant resources aimed at it anyway |
| 714s | that's it I'm sorry for breaking in and |
| 716s | thanks again for watching the video |
| 719s | [Applause] |
