| 0s | at least there what's nice is it's not |
|---|---|
| 2s | just for PVE or PVP it'll be useful on |
| 5s | both sets of gear so it sort of brings |
| 7s | the gear together but short answer is |
| 9s | you know we're going to continue to look |
| 11s | at perks our goal is not to have one |
| 13s | that clearly outshines others |
| 16s | [Applause] |
| 20s | welcome to forge in eternum where we |
| 22s | talk about all things new world today we |
| 24s | have an episode of balance of power uh |
| 28s | we are filming this very soon after the |
| 31s | PTR launched so we don't yet have enough |
| 33s | info and data to really talk about |
| 37s | balance too much so we are looking at it |
| 39s | I think you know we're carefully |
| 41s | examining artifact power which ones are |
| 43s | too strong which ones are two weeks the |
| 45s | attribute threshold bonus is another |
| 47s | area we're looking at some of the new |
| 49s | perks old perks are they all balanced |
| 51s | and there's one potion that might be a |
| 53s | little overpowered I think you'll know |
| 54s | what I mean if you've been in the PTR so |
| 57s | we're looking at those things but not |
| 58s | enough concrete uh sort of data to make |
| 61s | decisions yet on so instead what I |
| 64s | thought we'd do today is do a little bit |
| 65s | of a follow-up on gear we did a deep |
| 68s | dive last balance of power and there |
| 70s | were a couple follow-up questions that I |
| 71s | wanted to answer so I'm going to hand it |
| 73s | over to Mr Lovin to ask the questions |
| 75s | how do I get a gear score 700 as a PVE |
| 78s | player perfect so let's talk about the |
| 80s | gearing Journey as a PVE player I think |
| 83s | the first thing you'll want to do is the |
| 85s | Elysian Wilds msq the main story quest |
| 87s | line depending on you know how much you |
| 90s | explore and if you do side quests and or |
| 92s | if you just rush through it you're going |
| 94s | to end up somewhere let's say gear score |
| 96s | 640 to maybe 650 at the end of that |
| 100s | maybe even a touch higher if you really |
| 101s | spend some time exploring so at about |
| 104s | 650 to 640 you're now available to sort |
| 107s | of start end game content so what that |
| 110s | means is a PVE player is you'll probably |
| 112s | start doing some of the base level |
| 114s | Expeditions these are you know what |
| 116s | we're now calling almost story mode |
| 118s | Expeditions we've really made them easy |
| 120s | we want all people to be able to |
| 121s | experience them it's sort of your |
| 122s | on-ramp to all to end game those will |
| 125s | drop gear that caps up to 685 so they'll |
| 129s | give you a nice way towards that 700 |
| 131s | goal they're really a great first |
| 132s | on-ramp uh after that there's a couple |
| 135s | of options uh one is you can do open |
| 138s | world content uh open world drops depend |
| 141s | on the difficulty of the enemy so if you |
| 143s | go to the our hardest Elite content with |
| 145s | high level enemies uh you can get drops |
| 148s | off normal enemies up to 690 uh and uh |
| 151s | the named enemies and chest will drop up |
| 153s | to 700 so that's that's a great thing to |
| 155s | do mutations are a great way to get 700 |
| 158s | gear uh any mutation level can drop up |
| 161s | to 700 the minimum level increases as |
| 164s | you go higher and higher so there's less |
| 166s | there's more of a chance sorry as you go |
| 167s | up the mutation scale to really get that |
| 170s | end with M3 dropping 695 to 700 so you |
| 174s | can really uh just sort of finalize that |
| 176s | final bit of gear score and lastly don't |
| 179s | forget corrupted portals they give you |
| 181s | caches and those can drop up to 700 also |
| 185s | so how do I get gear score 700 as a PVP |
| 188s | player yeah so your experience as a PVP |
| 190s | player we want to keep very focused just |
| 192s | on doing PVP content because that's what |
| 195s | that's what PvP was like uh so one of |
| 198s | the main ways is to continue doing uh |
| 200s | Arenas and oprs the caches in there can |
| 203s | drop up to 700 gear score items uh you |
| 206s | know the range is somewhat wide so it's |
| 208s | not going to be every game you're |
| 209s | getting 700 but you can get them so |
| 211s | continue to do the content you'll love |
| 213s | and you'll get there in addition don't |
| 215s | sleep on the new influence uh V2 |
| 218s | mechanics that we're adding in season |
| 219s | three uh you do get a cash at the end of |
| 221s | every race and you get a ton of salt and |
| 224s | XP so we want these to be very rewarding |
| 227s | regardless of whether you're interested |
| 229s | in the race or not it's just a good |
| 230s | activity to do those caches will also |
| 233s | drop up to 700. and also the PVP reward |
| 237s | track is a great source of gear it'll |
| 239s | continue to drop named items which will |
| 241s | be a great way to get great gear and |
| 244s | every 10 levels you're going to get a |
| 246s | guaranteed 690. another important thing |
| 249s | to note is that the named items like all |
| 251s | named items will be able to be upgraded |
| 253s | to 700 with the appropriate Matrix |
| 256s | upgrading |
| 258s | all right uh and then how about gear |
| 261s | score 700 as a crafter uh Crafters have |
| 265s | two main ways to get to gear score 700 |
| 267s | uh the first one is Prismatic Scarab |
| 269s | crafting uh this is the slightly more |
| 272s | expensive way uh you know it is on a |
| 274s | weekly cooldown it's definitely more |
| 276s | expensive uh but what it does is it |
| 278s | guarantees you 700 gear score and it |
| 281s | guarantees you the exact perks uh you |
| 283s | want all three perks can be determined |
| 286s | by the player uh the other alternative |
| 288s | is the chromatic seal uh crafting uh |
| 291s | that is definitely a cheaper option and |
| 294s | is on a daily cooldown but it only |
| 296s | guarantees you two perks so that third |
| 298s | perk will be random so it's a little bit |
| 301s | more of a higher risk but it's a lower |
| 303s | cost uh another important thing to |
| 305s | remember as Crafters is uh you know |
| 308s | there's lots of new options to re-roll |
| 310s | uh the third perk with named items uh |
| 313s | and with artifacts so those will be |
| 314s | another great Avenue for Crafters |
| 318s | all right um I have a question for that |
| 320s | I elicited uh on Reddit here um question |
| 324s | regarding Craft mods for perks that are |
| 326s | being removed what will happen to |
| 327s | existing mods for perks such as |
| 329s | refreshing Ward and siphoning will these |
| 331s | mods still be in our storages but unable |
| 333s | to craft with will we be able to convert |
| 335s | them as with umbral shards you will be |
| 338s | able to convert them as with Emerald |
| 340s | shards but rather than converting into |
| 342s | coin uh they'll convert into attribute |
| 344s | mods okay uh where do I get artifact X |
| 349s | uh artifact X I assume we're you know |
| 352s | the various artifacts uh well you |
| 354s | explore uh right we've got the artifacts |
| 357s | hidden throughout the various content in |
| 358s | our game uh obviously this will also if |
| 361s | you're you know want to speed it up I'm |
| 363s | sure someone will write an online guide |
| 364s | but the idea is here that they're |
| 366s | sprinkled through the various parts of |
| 367s | our content uh you know uh there's a lot |
| 369s | in Expeditions at the end of the Elysian |
| 371s | Wilds msq there's one uh sorry I'm |
| 374s | looking at my list here oh named enemies |
| 376s | throughout the world especially in |
| 377s | Brimstone and Elysian Wild's habit uh |
| 380s | the reward track has two of them both in |
| 382s | the free track uh also I saw a couple of |
| 384s | questions like what if I don't play this |
| 386s | season how can I get it later on we will |
| 388s | add the two artifacts that are in the |
| 390s | reward track to the general pools in |
| 392s | season four so you won't miss out on |
| 394s | that corrupted portals have a one or two |
| 397s | and last but not least the PVP reward |
| 400s | track has a number of them another |
| 402s | option for PVP players to to really get |
| 405s | that 700 gear score because all |
| 406s | artifacts are 700 gear score |
| 409s | okay why did you get rid of the |
| 411s | mandatory resilient perk for PVP and |
| 413s | replace it with Enchanted Ward and |
| 415s | health perk |
| 416s | so I mean our goal here is not to have |
| 419s | mandatory perks uh if we find one is too |
| 423s | strong we will definitely start looking |
| 424s | at that we'll try to bump up other ones |
| 426s | I think even something like Health which |
| 428s | I agree you know especially on Armor our |
| 431s | pool is a little more limited that one |
| 432s | will is relatively close to mandatory at |
| 435s | least there what's nice is it's not just |
| 437s | for PVE or PVP it'll be useful on both |
| 440s | sets of gear so it sort of brings the |
| 442s | gear together but short answer is you |
| 444s | know we're going to continue to look at |
| 446s | perks our goal is not to have one that |
| 448s | clearly outshines others |
| 450s | all right and coming to us from the |
| 452s | Creator program bear79 asks can we get |
| 455s | more clarification on the system of |
| 457s | umbral shards and current named 590 plus |
| 460s | items yeah so 590 items uh can be |
| 464s | upgraded to 625 before the expansion so |
| 467s | if you've got 590 items I suggest you do |
| 470s | that now uh post the expansion umbral |
| 473s | shards are gone you will no longer be |
| 475s | able to upgrade with them they will |
| 477s | convert into gold |
| 478s | but the good news is here that those |
| 481s | named items that you were getting at 590 |
| 483s | will always drop at 6 25 moving forward |
| 486s | so uh you won't ever have to upgrade |
| 488s | them before any moving forward if you |
| 490s | get them because it'll always be at 6 |
| 491s | 25. |
| 492s | okay that's it well thanks for joining |
| 495s | us today on balance of power I do have a |
| 499s | community question uh we're interested |
| 500s | what do you think is the most powerful |
