| 0s | so indestructible is unfortunately gone |
|---|---|
| 2s | I know that was the community's favorite |
| 4s | Park so yeah unfortunately it was the |
| 7s | right word there |
| 8s | [Applause] |
| 12s | hey everybody Welcome to foraging |
| 14s | eternum where we talk about All Things |
| 16s | New World I'm here with Patrick and Dave |
| 18s | today and we're going to talk about |
| 19s | Wards and veins |
| 21s | we're getting rid of them show over see |
| 24s | you next time |
| 25s | just kidding um but we are removing |
| 27s | words and Bane do you want to talk about |
| 28s | that a little Dave yeah I think you know |
| 30s | high level we want people to be able to |
| 33s | enjoy our gear system and really go for |
| 36s | aspirational perks and perks that change |
| 38s | their build whereas this felt a little |
| 40s | bit too much like a chore right like I |
| 41s | had to get these to be competitive in |
| 43s | certain modes like mutations or I had to |
| 45s | get resilient to be competitive in PvP |
| 47s | and I think we want to sort of like |
| 49s | reduce the amount of required perks and |
| 52s | instead let people sort of experiment |
| 53s | and try around with perks but what what |
| 55s | stinks is I worked really hard to get |
| 57s | all these corrupted wards |
| 59s | you're just gonna take him away from me |
| 73s | any gear you acquire in the future above |
| 75s | gear score 625 will not have War |
| 78s | dropping will not have resistance |
| 80s | dropping will not have resilient |
| 81s | dropping so then you you're gonna get is |
| 83s | going to be a lot more exciting because |
| 84s | there's going to be more viable perks on |
| 86s | it and less perks that you don't really |
| 88s | want to see on your gear so |
| 90s | indestructible is unfortunately gone I |
| 92s | know that was the community's favorite |
| 93s | Park so yeah unfortunately it was the |
| 96s | right order Factory we're using we're |
| 97s | playing a sarcastic game right now for |
| 99s | those not following along but yes but I |
| 101s | think that's an important thing right |
| 102s | like there's a couple perks we just |
| 104s | thought hey these are never going to be |
| 105s | viable like people will never want this |
| 107s | in gear and I think those are now |
| 109s | disappearing so that you don't get that |
| 111s | disappointment of getting a cool piece |
| 113s | of gear with it you know it's worth |
| 114s | mentioning at one point they made sense |
| 116s | when we were thinking about gear |
| 118s | differently you know a couple years ago |
| 119s | but the games evolved we listened to the |
| 121s | players we're pushing in different |
| 122s | directions and it becomes less less a |
| 124s | thing |
| 126s | so what else you want to talk about |
| 127s | Patrick uh so along with removing Ward |
| 130s | resilient and other perks we're doing |
| 131s | that's a broad perk rebalance so there's |
| 134s | a number of perks you're not going to |
| 135s | see on that gear that is below gear |
| 136s | score or above gear score 625 in the |
| 138s | future so we already talked about the |
| 140s | wards and the resilience other perks |
| 142s | will be going away some of the |
| 143s | underperforming perks that we like but |
| 145s | aren't really often selected by the |
| 147s | community are going to be rebalanced to |
| 148s | be more attractive choices so I'm very |
| 150s | excited about that then we're also going |
| 152s | to be adjusting some of the currently |
| 153s | over performing uh perks so things like |
| 155s | a tune mint might see their cooldown |
| 157s | increase slightly so across the board |
| 160s | though we're trying to make sure that |
| 161s | the perks are finding that nice |
| 162s | equilibrium where any perk is viable in |
| 164s | the game in the game |
| 165s | uh one other thing that I think is worth |
| 167s | mentioning as we remove certain perks |
| 169s | from the game we're also going to be |
| 170s | adding some new perks to make more room |
| 172s | especially on Armor right where we |
| 174s | remove all the wards Patrick yeah that's |
| 175s | correct so we're adding a few new perks |
| 177s | with this perk rebalance so for example |
| 179s | uh touching on weapons specifically uh |
| 182s | there's only there's only really been |
| 183s | one good healing perk and that's blessed |
| 185s | we're adding a lot more healing perks |
| 187s | that are conditional so they add bonus |
| 189s | healing but based in certain conditions |
| 190s | so you might want to run a certain staff |
| 192s | for a boss that might be very uh damage |
| 194s | over time heavy things like that so |
| 196s | we're trying to make sure that there's |
| 198s | different gear for different situations |
| 199s | and it's all exciting and valuable to |
| 200s | players |
| 202s | and you know as part of the compensation |
| 204s | for this we're talking about uh |
| 206s | modifying how Warren potions work right |
| 208s | yeah so one of the things we do like |
| 210s | this idea of a little bit of a prep root |
| 212s | prep Loop sorry for uh Expeditions or |
| 215s | various you know sort of higher level |
| 216s | content so making the ward potions which |
| 219s | are currently sort of like you know used |
| 221s | for specific battles making them last |
| 223s | the whole Expedition right so like you |
| 225s | go in prep with a potion so it's much |
| 227s | lighter weight but it still gives you a |
| 228s | little bit of that prep and and bolsters |
| 230s | the economy which I kind of like that |
| 231s | because it makes it |
| 233s | it gives us the ability to put more |
| 236s | enemy types in an expedition and not |
| 239s | feeling like oh my God I have to change |
| 240s | my gear as opposed to just taking a new |
| 242s | potion it's a little easier you know to |
| 243s | get through that a couple things more on |
| 245s | maybe the the nerdy side are people that |
| 248s | are really into this stuff yeah I think |
| 250s | on the attribute stuff one of the things |
| 251s | we do right now is that the attributes |
| 253s | are asymmetric right so you know there's |
| 255s | ones where strength is more than decks |
| 257s | and then Dex is more than strength we're |
| 258s | going to change that so that they're now |
| 260s | uh equal right so that it's an equal |
| 263s | split and I think that will uh I think |
| 265s | be easier for players to understand |
| 266s | reduce some of the drop types and things |
| 268s | like that so I think that'll be pretty |
| 269s | interesting Patrick is any of this going |
| 272s | to have an effect on your inventory uh |
| 273s | it will so there's a lot of perk mods |
| 275s | right now for crafting certain attribute |
| 277s | bonuses that will be going away uh the |
| 279s | aim there is the Streamline crafting and |
| 280s | also make you manage far fewer perk mods |
| 283s | if you look in my inventory right now |
| 284s | I've probably got a couple hundred brick |
| 286s | mods just sitting there the goal there |
| 288s | is to reduce that number significantly |
| 289s | so you're crafting things that are more |
| 290s | meaningful |
| 291s | I'm with you on that that's uh there's |
| 293s | so many as hard to even get through them |
| 295s | all when you're looking for some yeah so |
| 297s | overall I think this is going to be a |
| 299s | pretty massive change to the game and |
| 301s | have a have a big impact um I'm pretty |
| 304s | excited about it but before is there |
| 305s | anything else either if you want to add |
| 307s | no I think I think this is going to be a |
| 309s | really nice change and I think you know |
| 311s | Katie mentioned in our q a like what's |
| 313s | nice about this is it was really spurred |
| 315s | by a lot of customer sentiment right |
| 317s | like I think players have been talking |
| 319s | about how annoying Banes can be |
| 321s | especially when we had a couple |
| 323s | Expeditions that had multiple uh family |
| 325s | types that's what really brought us to |
| 326s | the Forefront and I think you know while |
| 328s | we were looking at that we you know we |
| 330s | made some changes in Imperium Forge to |
| 332s | to require only one set but at the same |
| 336s | time while we were doing that we're like |
| 337s | what is really the value of this and |
| 338s | like our players enjoying it and it made |
| 340s | us take a hard look at it you know |
| 341s | there's just one more thing I thought of |
| 343s | in the middle of this conversation that |
| 344s | we can mention is uh |
| 345s | it's also going to allow us to to |
| 347s | balance the Expeditions and the |
| 350s | mutations more toward a common thing and |
| 353s | not assume people have these words or |
| 355s | don't have them it's gonna well so I |
| 356s | think that's going to create different |
| 358s | builds coming in that are going to make |
| 360s | the gameplay more interesting and more |
| 361s | varied and hopefully a little less of a |
| 363s | link dear before I let you in my group I |
| 366s | think that's another Big Goal here yeah |
| 368s | I think if you're you know if if the |
| 369s | perks are much more |
| 372s | strong Forex for expeditions then it's |
| 375s | going to be your gear scores speaks |
| 376s | volumes and then it's your play style is |
| 378s | going to be the differentiator that's |
| 379s | exactly right right like in a |
| 381s | theoretical world like we're never going |
| 382s | to hit this perfect the first time but |
| 384s | where every perk is just as viable as |
| 385s | every other it doesn't matter exactly |
| 388s | which perks you have just that you have |
| 389s | you know the gear square and if you like |
| 391s | to play a certain way you're going to |
| 392s | have Perks that support that versus |
| 393s | someone else I think that'll be in |
| 394s | that's the dream space we'll see like |
| 396s | we're gonna need everyone who's watching |
| 398s | we're gonna need their help getting |
| 399s | there |
| 400s | um it's pretty exciting all right I |
| 402s | think that's all we got for today thanks |
| 404s | Patrick and Dave and thanks everyone for |
| 406s | watching but before we go we do have a |
| 409s | question for the community actually I'm |
| 410s | going to ask two questions |
| 412s | uh if you could buff any perk what would |
| 414s | you buff and if you could cut any perk |
| 417s | what would you cut and with that if you |
| 419s | like what you saw let us know like And |
| 421s | subscribe otherwise see you in a |
| 423s | tournament |
