| 0s | uh I think in terms of mechanics what's |
|---|---|
| 3s | interesting also and how we're going to |
| 4s | introduce this to players is that we'll |
| 6s | be alternating between the two maps so |
| 8s | every two weeks we'll switch we'll do |
| 10s | this new Brimstone map for two weeks |
| 12s | then the original map uh and just sort |
| 14s | of alternate every two weeks yeah I'm |
| 15s | excited to see how that plays out too |
| 16s | yeah |
| 18s | [Music] |
| 18s | [Applause] |
| 23s | forged in a tournament where we took all |
| 25s | things new world I'm joined today by |
| 27s | Patrick our Seasons design lead and Dan |
| 29s | our social po |
| 31s | today we're going to talk about a topic |
| 34s | that many of you care deeply about PVP |
| 36s | what are we doing for PVP and when's it |
| 39s | coming well I've got great news there |
| 41s | are four big things coming for our PVP |
| 43s | fans in season two uh let's talk through |
| 46s | them and let's start with perhaps the |
| 47s | biggest one crossworld opr Dan tell me a |
| 50s | little bit about what this means and |
| 51s | what it'll mean for players but simply |
| 53s | less less waiting time to get into opr |
| 56s | so we're connecting all of our worlds |
| 58s | within a region for insta or for opr and |
| 61s | that means that you just hit a button |
| 62s | and you'll be playing with a large |
| 64s | larger population and along with that |
| 67s | the leaderboards for opr are going to be |
| 69s | Regional as well that's cool so no |
| 72s | difference in mechanics it's the same |
| 74s | thing just go to modes hit play and I'm |
| 76s | in yep exactly cool and Regional |
| 80s | leaderboards uh just for the region |
| 83s | yeah |
| 86s | they're just region based this is super |
| 88s | cool and the rewards will be the same |
| 90s | for the leaderboards cool |
| 93s | uh so while we're allowing people to get |
| 95s | into matches quicker with this great new |
| 97s | feature uh we're also going to make some |
| 99s | changes to opr some adjustments to make |
| 101s | it play a little better A little maybe |
| 102s | more strategic uh can you talk us |
| 105s | through those changes Patrick yes |
| 106s | there's a number of good changes coming |
| 107s | to Apple's Rush with season two uh first |
| 109s | off is scoring changes so we're gonna |
| 111s | adjust the logic of scoring to better |
| 113s | reinforce players who are playing the |
| 115s | objectives uh no more playing a Scott |
| 117s | Lane and sitting outside just shooting |
| 119s | in their Fireball you now have to sit on |
| 121s | the point and actually actively uh you |
| 123s | know |
| 123s | defend it to really accrue a large |
| 125s | number of points which is great I think |
| 126s | it's going to change the feel of the |
| 128s | game up a little bit another change |
| 129s | you're making is the baroness encounter |
| 131s | we are putting in walls so you can no |
| 133s | longer just sniper from 100 meters away |
| 134s | and last second kill still kill steal |
| 137s | her if you want to get that kill now you |
| 138s | have to be in the area so high risk High |
| 140s | reward there another great change is |
| 143s | we're reinforcing the role of Siege |
| 144s | weaponry and walls so The Siege Weaponry |
| 147s | is going to deal more damage to players |
| 148s | and the walls are going to take less |
| 150s | damage from uh ranged weapons so you |
| 152s | can't sit back with your bow now and |
| 154s | just shoot it down got to get up close |
| 156s | and personal to be effective |
| 157s | and then the last big change that I'm |
| 159s | really excited about is the corrupted |
| 160s | portal so we're kind of completely |
| 162s | reworking that mechanic so instead of |
| 164s | showing up and depositing azoth to get |
| 165s | your token now every few minutes the |
| 167s | portal will activate and you have to go |
| 168s | there and clear out all the corrupted |
| 170s | enemies to claim the portal and by |
| 172s | claiming it you get the brute token so |
| 174s | overall it's a good number of |
| 175s | adjustments that I think will help the |
| 176s | feel of the mode and keep it feeling uh |
| 177s | fresh and more fair yeah I like |
| 179s | especially that corrupted portal change |
| 181s | because it makes it sort of like another |
| 182s | event like you've got to balance that in |
| 184s | your baroness pressure yeah I think |
| 186s | that'll be neat another slight change on |
| 188s | the scoring that I think is worth |
| 189s | mentioning is we're also going to be |
| 190s | starting to give points for blocking |
| 192s | right so the tanks of the group I know |
| 195s | sometimes you play sword board can now |
| 196s | you know as they're helping absorb |
| 198s | damage for the rest of their team get |
| 199s | some points for that yeah that's gonna |
| 201s | be great uh a third big change is a |
| 204s | brand new Arena map uh can you tell us a |
| 207s | little bit about that one yeah this is |
| 208s | one I'm really excited for I think we |
| 210s | learned a lot of great lessons with |
| 211s | Arena map number one and once we |
| 213s | launched Brimstone Sans I think everyone |
| 214s | all the players all of us internally we |
| 216s | saw this aesthetic can we want that |
| 218s | Roman Coliseum and we're really |
| 220s | delivering on that with the new Arena so |
| 222s | it's a lot more complex than the first |
| 223s | one first one just has the two pillars |
| 225s | to line of side players against this is |
| 227s | a multi-level Arena so there's different |
| 229s | sides of it you can kite players around |
| 231s | the middle it's going to really change |
| 232s | gameplay and I'm really excited to see |
| 234s | how different weapons perform on it yeah |
| 236s | I think it's it's radically different |
| 238s | yes yeah and I think it will hopefully |
| 241s | our goal is to have almost different |
| 243s | strategies different tactics play out in |
| 245s | it uh I think in terms of mechanics |
| 247s | what's interesting also on how we're |
| 249s | going to introduce this to players is |
| 250s | that we'll be alternating between the |
| 252s | two maps so every two weeks we'll switch |
| 254s | we'll do this new Brimstone map for two |
| 256s | weeks then the original map and just |
| 258s | sort of alternate every two weeks yeah |
| 260s | I'm excited to see how that plays out |
| 261s | too yeah |
| 262s | uh and then a fourth change so this all |
| 265s | sounds great but we want rewards also |
| 268s | Dan so tell us has there been any |
| 270s | changes to the PVP reward track uh |
| 272s | there's been a couple yeah uh the |
| 274s | directionally and the goal is to like |
| 275s | get you better rewards earlier on in the |
| 278s | track so uh gypsum and shards and uh bis |
| 281s | items all come earlier in the track and |
| 283s | uh just in general it's meant to allow |
| 286s | USB player to just do PVP to get those |
| 288s | awesome Rewards |
| 290s | yeah I think that's super important |
| 292s | right like PVP players want to do PPP |
| 294s | activities and this will give them the |
| 296s | opportunity I don't think it'll be like |
| 298s | their sole way to be able to gear but |
| 300s | it'll be much more like you won't have |
| 302s | to do as much other stuff to gear up |
| 304s | which I think is great it's a lot more |
| 305s | efficient like playing through this |
| 306s | internally I'm seeing a lot more oranges |
| 308s | on the track and that's pretty exciting |
| 309s | for me yeah I think I I'm very excited |
| 312s | about it I think our Philly players will |
| 313s | be awesome absolutely so that's four big |
| 316s | changes for season two but that's not |
| 318s | the end of PVP right like obviously it's |
| 320s | just the beginning there's also |
| 321s | something pretty big coming in season |
| 323s | three we've talked about a little bit |
| 324s | about it but tell us a little more Dan |
| 325s | uh we uh we've got influence V2 coming |
| 329s | out which uh is going to basically uh |
| 333s | it's it's big we'll we'll tell you a lot |
| 335s | more about it a little later on but for |
| 337s | now the the main thing is that influence |
| 339s | races will be uh kind of like more |
| 341s | directed more scheduled so much higher |
| 344s | density in that influence race to earn |
| 346s | the War deck into territory and we're |
| 348s | adding control Point Towers to each |
| 350s | territory to fight over uh this is I |
| 353s | think something that that everybody's |
| 354s | kind of been wanting for a while we've |
| 356s | talked about it on this before |
| 358s | um and the goal for those is uh kind of |
| 361s | similar to that new Arena map you know |
| 363s | bring in some more like leveled play |
| 364s | some verticality some some obstacles |
| 367s | that can kind of |
| 368s | challenge you to come up with a better |
| 370s | strategy based on which Tower you're |
| 373s | fighting over so it's really cool we're |
| 374s | play testing it now and it's a lot of |
| 376s | fun yeah I love the feel of it like well |
| 378s | how I've described cheese it almost |
| 380s | feels like an open world mode right |
| 381s | because there's this timed energy |
| 383s | there's a concentrated density of people |
| 385s | you go here there's objectives I think |
| 387s | it's a really nice blend between the |
| 389s | open world feel of the game and sort of |
| 391s | like an instance mode like opr exactly |
| 393s | yeah definitely the change I'm looking |
| 395s | forward to the most I'd say open world |
| 396s | PVP is my favorite thing in our game and |
| 398s | the organic feel of it is so great and |
| 400s | these towers just really provide it it's |
| 401s | gonna be fun yeah you've been pushing |
| 403s | for this for a long time yeah awesome |
| 405s | hey well thanks everyone for joining us |
