| 14s | to dive into today yeah we are super |
| 17s | excited to talk about one of our new |
| 18s | features pvp arenas and we're going to |
| 20s | do a deep dive on that we're also going |
| 23s | to talk a lot about some upcoming |
| 24s | community events we have coming right |
| 26s | and speaking of community we actually |
| 28s | have questions directly from you guys |
| 30s | the community that the devs are going to |
| 31s | be answering later in this video |
| 34s | all right you ready let's get started |
| 36s | all right |
| 41s | this next segment is about pvp arena |
| 44s | something that both the team and the |
| 45s | players are really excited to talk about |
| 47s | so let's dive right in i have scott with |
| 49s | me and then on a remote i have dave and |
| 52s | mike all right dave i'm handing it off |
| 54s | to you to tell us more about the pvp |
| 56s | arenas |
| 57s | all right well three v3 pvp arenas are |
| 60s | finally here we're gonna have it in the |
| 61s | may build |
| 63s | uh really excited about this it's |
| 64s | basically on demand pvp so you can just |
| 67s | jump into the game uh go to the mode |
| 69s | screen uh press join q and get yourself |
| 71s | put into a match very quickly uh you can |
| 74s | queue up by yourself if you want you can |
| 75s | queue up with your friend or with both |
| 76s | friends and just have a full team |
| 78s | of three um if you queue up by yourself |
| 81s | you will end up being in a team of three |
| 83s | but we'll match you up with uh similar |
| 86s | level players so we do have level bands |
| 89s | in our queueing system |
| 90s | so from 20 to 29 30 to 39 and so on |
| 93s | uh if you do end up joining into a group |
| 96s | with a higher level player so you're |
| 98s | level 20 and you're in a group with a |
| 99s | level 60 you will be in the level 60 |
| 101s | band just so you know go with the |
| 103s | highest level player there |
| 105s | um it's a |
| 107s | we have a lot of little neat things |
| 108s | we've done with this one where we've |
| 109s | actually added it so when you join into |
| 111s | the match you're going to get |
| 112s | consumables that are given to you so you |
| 114s | can use those in the match you don't |
| 115s | have to buy your own consumables any of |
| 117s | that kind of thing so it should be |
| 118s | really easy for the player to just jump |
| 120s | in and play you also don't take any |
| 122s | durability damage |
| 123s | and |
| 125s | yeah it's uh we also oh the one big |
| 127s | thing we also have is uh |
| 129s | we have an arena announcer in there so |
| 131s | you're gonna have some play-by-play |
| 132s | action calls as you're in the match um |
| 135s | kind of yelling and screaming at you |
| 136s | about what's happening so it's pretty |
| 137s | fun i'm very excited about that yes i |
| 140s | assumed you would be but yeah i think uh |
| 142s | we're there and then the big thing about |
| 144s | the pvp arenas this year this time is |
| 146s | that we are also bringing out the pvp |
| 148s | rewards track at the same time which is |
| 150s | going to go directly with the arenas um |
| 153s | and all the open world pvp and other and |
| 155s | the other pvp |
| 156s | modes |
| 157s | i got a question dave yep |
| 160s | who wins in a match you were mike |
| 164s | i think we're pretty close and uh skill |
| 166s | i think right now um |
| 168s | probably a little better probably played |
| 170s | a few more of them than he has but |
| 172s | uh we're pretty close in skill i don't |
| 174s | know what the new op tactics are |
| 177s | you know as they say over in in your |
| 179s | side of the world uh but i i adapt very |
| 182s | quickly so i'll have to find out more |
| 184s | from uh from from chris |
| 186s | dave what weapon are you playing a lot |
| 188s | when you're using uh what are you using |
| 189s | a lot when you're playing in these now |
| 191s | uh right now i'm using sword and board i |
| 193s | just enjoy playing with that and then |
| 195s | i'm also using the warhammer those are |
| 197s | two of my favorite right now |
| 199s | um i do i am using a little bit of |
| 200s | blunderbuss it's just super fun to play |
| 202s | with so i would definitely get that in |
| 204s | there |
| 204s | um |
| 205s | and then i'm also speaking of new |
| 208s | weapons that i'm trying out a little |
| 209s | more the bow |
| 211s | we did a little revamp of the bow this |
| 212s | month also so if you're a bow user |
| 214s | definitely get out there and try it it's |
| 216s | much more fluid than it used to be |
| 217s | really fun to use |
| 219s | awesome all right well i mean speaking |
| 222s | of fights between the guys let's talk |
| 223s | about rewards dave do you want to touch |
| 225s | a bit more on the rewards yeah sure we |
| 228s | now have a rewards track for pvp and so |
| 230s | basically what happens whenever you earn |
| 232s | a pvp contest of any nature um you're |
| 235s | going to get rewards for killing and |
| 236s | being a part of killing somebody so |
| 238s | you're going to get there's two main |
| 240s | tracks are two main things you get the |
| 242s | xp the pvp xp and then the salt and salt |
| 245s | is our currency for this uh so the |
| 248s | higher the more xp you get you're going |
| 250s | to open up tracks that have rewards that |
| 252s | you can buy with your salt |
| 254s | and then you just continually do that |
| 256s | and we're gonna let you go through many |
| 258s | different uh levels there to get there |
| 260s | lots of cool rewards um different armors |
| 263s | some pvp only perks things of that |
| 265s | nature are in there |
| 266s | we're gonna have a lot more info coming |
| 268s | out with this uh before it's actually |
| 270s | released the public but it's uh |
| 272s | it's it's a really fun system and gives |
| 273s | you gives you a reason to go in there |
| 275s | and just start fighting each other |
| 277s | all right so now that we have mike here |
| 280s | mike i have a question for you about |
| 282s | mutators let's go into some of the new |
| 284s | mutators |
| 285s | oh well sure uh well kicking off |
| 287s | mutators in the this upcoming release uh |
| 290s | the depths the depths is going to get |
| 292s | mutated finally |
| 294s | due to popular demand we're releasing |
| 296s | more mutated expeditions and this is the |
| 298s | one that's going to kick things off and |
| 300s | we know how much everybody loves to |
| 301s | fight against thorpe so i'm very excited |
| 303s | to see how people fare against that |
| 305s | fight i know i'm fantastic uh in in this |
| 309s | series of mutations so i'd love to see |
| 311s | how other people are faring during our |
| 313s | ptr but we have three new mutations that |
| 316s | are also going to get cycled into the |
| 317s | mix so the first one is called overgrown |
| 320s | and this mutation focuses on nature |
| 322s | damage and resistances so it adds |
| 324s | effects like uh toxic which is like a |
| 326s | pull that'll track down players and |
| 329s | compost which turns trash into healing |
| 331s | areas for your allies |
| 334s | uh and then the next promotion we have |
| 336s | is barbaric which focuses on physical |
| 338s | damage so it adds berserk which is an |
| 341s | enrage effect and then shattering which |
| 343s | deals stamina damage so that's going to |
| 345s | be a big one to deal with if you're a |
| 347s | tank and you're just you know trying to |
| 349s | absorb as much of the attack as possible |
| 351s | for your team uh and then lastly is a |
| 354s | new curse it's called fiendish which |
| 356s | kind of uh |
| 357s | focuses on the nocturnal if you will so |
| 360s | uh it adds weary which weakens players |
| 363s | with a rend and then makes them |
| 365s | vulnerable to slows |
| 367s | and then uh blood offering which stacks |
| 369s | damage over time so these three will |
| 372s | start cycling in with all the rest so |
| 374s | they'll have different combinations that |
| 376s | you get to experience and along with all |
| 378s | the new mutations and then you have the |
| 381s | depths which is going to add brand new |
| 382s | bespoke rewards so it should all be one |
| 385s | really fun package |
| 386s | i'm super excited to get you know when |
| 389s | you're leveling the depths was one of |
| 390s | the more fun expeditions and to now get |
| 392s | to go back and play that over and over |
| 394s | at 60 to get better rewards is it's |
| 396s | pretty cool |
| 397s | so mike i know uh one of our stats for |
| 399s | the year was that thor pad killed more |
| 401s | players than any ai have you had a |
| 403s | chance to fight him at a high mutation |
| 405s | and |
| 406s | how many times did you die let's see i |
| 408s | have not been able to make it to a high |
| 410s | mutation |
| 411s | uh |
| 412s | and i'll probably put the blame on me |
| 414s | and not my team so it's probably me |
| 417s | um but i'm interested to see the stats |
| 420s | as it rolls through ptr as we're gonna |
| 421s | make typical adjustments to make sure |
| 423s | it's in line with everything else |
| 425s | but i think the current champion |
| 427s | as of recently of just murdering players |
| 429s | is uh isabella our tempest |
| 432s | okay and while we have you here mike |
| 435s | there's another topic that i wanted to |
| 436s | bring up the varangian knights is that |
| 439s | how we're saying it varangian varangian |
| 442s | yes yes you have right there the |
| 444s | psychotribe the varangian knights |
| 446s | yes so we're continuing their story in |
| 448s | eternum and as they're starting to like |
| 450s | spread out as this invading force of of |
| 453s | knights is seeking out uh relics of |
| 455s | power throughout eternum and so |
| 458s | they're |
| 459s | they have some new encampments that are |
| 461s | now into the next tier up like past |
| 463s | level 25 so we're going to start telling |
| 465s | more of their story so this is really |
| 468s | recommended for players like 25 to 30 to |
| 470s | start on this next episode of the rant |
| 472s | of the varangian knights |
| 474s | so there's brand new three like tois |
| 477s | three major pois that are there so |
| 478s | they're really starting to dig in and |
| 480s | they have one really giant fortress that |
| 481s | you get to crawl through which is pretty |
| 483s | exciting uh so brand new storytelling |
| 486s | telling elements some new gimmicks |
| 487s | associated with those pois |
| 490s | and then four new enemy types as well so |
| 491s | we have uh the crusher the spearman the |
| 494s | hound and the mage all part of that |
| 496s | family |
| 497s | and the quest for the second episode is |
| 500s | granted by abigail rose and she's just |
| 502s | outside a new varangian camp at |
| 504s | sorcerer's delve which is in ever fall |
| 507s | so it should be very exciting very fun |
| 509s | stuff |
| 510s | and these are what level 25 to 30 uh |
| 512s | that's where the starting range goes |
| 514s | from and then it goes a little bit |
| 515s | higher than that as we take players |
| 517s | through |
| 518s | but it's really exciting because the |
| 519s | varangians fight completely different |
| 521s | than uh our typical ai they fight more |
| 523s | like players and use like player style |
| 525s | abilities |
| 526s | all right another reason to level |
| 528s | another character through well i want to |
| 530s | thank you guys for joining us remote and |
| 532s | scott for keeping me company here on set |
| 534s | uh and we're just going to call that a |
| 537s | closure on those great topics thank you |
| 539s | so much guys see you guys |
| 548s | now we're going to touch a bit on the |
| 551s | upcoming events now you may have a very |
| 553s | familiar face |
| 556s | greg has taken the time to come back and |
| 558s | join us for a few questions welcome |
| 560s | thank you it's good to be back at the |
| 562s | table but from a very different |
| 563s | perspective i'm not asking the questions |
| 565s | this time no that's that's your job yeah |
| 567s | yeah yeah okay |
| 569s | and then we have brittany who is our |
| 571s | community manager so you're gonna see |
| 573s | her a lot on the forums and everywhere |
| 575s | actually and then katie we love katie |
| 577s | katie is okay he's the best of us wow |
| 580s | okay moving on a lot of pressure all |
| 582s | right |
| 583s | so we're gonna touch on |
| 585s | as i mentioned the upcoming events and |
| 587s | we're just gonna kind of jump around and |
| 589s | i'm gonna keep you guys on your toes so |
| 591s | let's start right off katie the first |
| 593s | one's for you |
| 594s | uh recently released regional and paid |
| 597s | transfer tokens let's talk about it yeah |
| 599s | so the last time that we talked um we |
| 602s | had mentioned that we in our last update |
| 604s | that we were laying down more groundwork |
| 606s | that we felt good about it and that we |
| 608s | felt like we would be able to opens up |
| 610s | soon and we were able to and so we've |
| 612s | had tens of thousands of people |
| 615s | transfer either intra region so across |
| 617s | services or within your same region or |
| 619s | into regions so |
| 621s | from like us east to eu central or from |
| 625s | eu central to ap southeast so it's been |
| 628s | really exciting seeing the migration |
| 630s | patterns of our players but that was |
| 632s | really cool um we did encounter one |
| 635s | issue where people um had tried to |
| 637s | transfer and they were stuck kind of in |
| 639s | a limbo for a little bit just you know a |
| 641s | stuck state |
| 642s | we were able to resolve that and so |
| 644s | we've been addressing that as it comes |
| 645s | up and we have a fix for that that is in |
| 648s | uh so it shouldn't happen anymore |
| 650s | but but yeah so that was the only thing |
| 652s | which which |
| 653s | was really helpful as a lesson learned |
| 655s | but we were really excited to see so |
| 656s | many people going to the worlds that |
| 658s | they wanted to go to right i know people |
| 660s | were talking about it constantly so yes |
| 662s | that's great |
| 663s | all right brittany you're up let's talk |
| 665s | about the combat academy series yeah |
| 668s | definitely so for may we wanted to |
| 670s | really emphasize combat because we have |
| 673s | the new pvp arenas we have you know the |
| 675s | new mutated expedition with thorpe and |
| 678s | we just want to make sure that you know |
| 679s | we're emphasizing combat for this month |
| 681s | and so we asked you our community to |
| 683s | come up with helpful guides your best |
| 686s | clips your best twitch clips where you |
| 688s | know some of you were running away from |
| 690s | crocodiles i saw that |
| 692s | and so |
| 693s | you know we had a blast watching through |
| 695s | those and we have a playlist on youtube |
| 698s | that's curated and you can use a hashtag |
| 701s | new world combat academy |
| 702s | to search those up see if you missed any |
| 705s | yeah and if you're in the creator |
| 706s | program we also sent an email out to all |
| 708s | the members of the creator program that |
| 709s | they can |
| 710s | how to submit their favorite clips and |
| 712s | stuff so we can showcase them yeah and |
| 714s | speaking of creators greg let's dive |
| 717s | right in devs versus creators what's |
| 719s | going on with that yeah so like you said |
| 721s | with that new arena system um we wanted |
| 724s | to be able to showcase that new feature |
| 726s | and how best to do it then working with |
| 728s | content creators |
| 730s | on twitch uh we have a three it's gonna |
| 733s | be a weekly series and |
| 736s | the way that this video is gonna go is |
| 738s | probably gonna release a little bit it's |
| 739s | it's starting tomorrow greg time like |
| 742s | this uh this |
| 745s | [Laughter] |
| 753s | the first one is on the 12th for today |
| 756s | greg is tomorrow okay uh and then the |
| 757s | next one's gonna be on the 19th and then |
| 759s | the final one's going to be on the 26th |
| 761s | okay so it's three content creators |
| 763s | versus three of our devs uh they're |
| 765s | going to be playing five uh rounds five |
| 768s | matches um of the uh the pvp arena and |
| 772s | we'll see uh we'll see who can take who |
| 774s | so i got a question |
| 775s | yes who do you think is gonna win is it |
| 778s | gonna be like a two versus one like devs |
| 782s | creators or you think it's gonna be the |
| 784s | other way around i mean we've go out |
| 785s | we've got people like daneth and uh |
| 788s | baggins and redbird are gonna be on the |
| 789s | first team they're pretty they're |
| 791s | slayers so i would i would be worried if |
| 793s | i was on the dev team well the dev team |
| 795s | uses slayer script so |
| 799s | what's up greg |
| 801s | god mode |
| 803s | yeah no we are specifically not playing |
| 805s | on a build that is going to tempt us yes |
| 808s | to use our debug command oh and another |
| 810s | point for the the creators versus dev |
| 812s | saying is there's going to be a an |
| 813s | exclusive twitch drop that's going to go |
| 815s | along with that so if you're watching |
| 817s | the uh devs versus creators it's going |
| 819s | to be on the creators channels but then |
| 822s | it's going to open it up directory wide |
| 824s | and the twitch drop for this time is |
| 826s | actually really unique because it's a |
| 827s | battle chest filled with pvp specific |
| 830s | things so you're going to find things in |
| 832s | that chest that are going to help you in |
| 834s | pvp and in arenas |
| 836s | you can collect up to three chests so if |
| 839s | you tune in for each of the three um |
| 842s | then you can get up to three uh yeah so |
| 845s | go on twitch and watch the watch the |
| 847s | content creators who are involved and |
| 849s | then it's gonna go directory wide for i |
| 851s | believe 48 hours okay and that's going |
| 853s | to go away then it'll come back for the |
| 854s | next event and then go away and come |
| 856s | back |
| 857s | all right so technically when this video |
| 858s | releases you only got one more chance to |
| 861s | get this twitch drop i bet a lot of |
| 863s | these people are like you know reading |
| 864s | the the great article we wrote |
| 868s | stuff |
| 869s | oh yeah |
| 870s | the 26 that's the last one |
| 872s | got it mark your calendar all right well |
| 875s | brittany back to you let's talk about |
| 876s | the upcoming pvp world event yeah |
| 879s | definitely so we had a blast going into |
| 882s | the ptr and testing out arenas i'm not |
| 883s | sure if you saw but ann when trevzor and |
| 886s | i were you know getting decimated uh in |
| 889s | the ptr showing them how to win exactly |
| 892s | right we tested out the ring of fire we |
| 894s | made sure that was working |
| 896s | uh and then we all got demolished and so |
| 899s | you know that's how it goes when you are |
| 901s | playing range the odds were the odds |
| 903s | were in your favor so i don't know it |
| 904s | wouldn't happen there you know what i |
| 905s | tried i tried um and so we had a blast |
| 908s | and so we want to make sure that when |
| 910s | you know the live game goes live we get |
| 914s | to experience it with all of you so |
| 915s | we're going to be hopping into a bunch |
| 917s | of various servers we're going to be you |
| 919s | know letting you know ahead of time in |
| 921s | the forums when we are going to be |
| 923s | expected to be in these worlds so maybe |
| 926s | you'll catch us in there maybe running |
| 927s | some pvp missions maybe flagging up for |
| 930s | some war out post rush so |
| 932s | i'm gonna put a petition in the this |
| 934s | entire time you were pvp flagged |
| 938s | killing me |
| 947s | yeah well i mean the players are |
| 949s | constantly asking how they can fight the |
| 951s | devs and you know so here we go |
| 954s | all right so the next thing on our list |
| 957s | katie this is for you the xp |
| 959s | extravaganza tell us more about that |
| 961s | yeah so um we are not going to be doing |
| 965s | a big update in june let me just put |
| 968s | that out there |
| 970s | so we're gonna still have our weekly |
| 971s | updates um some of those might be a |
| 973s | little bigger than our former weekly |
| 975s | updates and so during this time we want |

| 1068s | to go into some fun stats before we yeah |
| 1072s | we love fun stats so since um since we |
| 1075s | released the um the tempest expedition |
| 1079s | and the mutation |
| 1081s | i want to let folks know that as far as |
| 1084s | the um the ai that have killed the most |
| 1086s | characters nesha tune is at the top uh |
| 1090s | nesha tune has killed over 400 000 |
| 1093s | characters uh and right behind him is |
| 1097s | isabella uh and isabella has killed just |
| 1099s | over more than thor |
| 1101s | yes just over 200 000 players wow that |
| 1105s | was about it so yeah so very exciting |
| 1107s | and i did i did want to bring up some |
| 1109s | additional information i'm going to have |
| 1110s | to reference my notes nobody look uh so |
| 1114s | i wanted i wanted to give players |
| 1116s | because it's something that i personally |
| 1117s | really like um to figure out who can do |
| 1120s | things the fastest and so i wanted to |
| 1122s | give the players some insight into who |
| 1124s | uh what the fastest m10 so the 10th |
| 1127s | mutation |
| 1128s | already the fastest completion times for |
| 1131s | our our mutated expedition so starting |
| 1133s | things off with dynasty the fastest run |
| 1136s | of an m10 was 21 minutes and 48 seconds |
| 1138s | wow uh garden of genesis was 13 minutes |
| 1142s | and one second |
| 1144s | last was just under 25 minutes uh we are |
| 1148s | actually there's it's kind of like when |
| 1150s | in a race where you're like looking at |
| 1151s | the photo finish we have some reports |
| 1153s | that we haven't been able to validate in |
| 1154s | data that we are still looking into so |
| 1156s | keep running this but we have a report |
| 1158s | of one potentially being 19 minutes for |
| 1160s | that |
| 1161s | uh and then 19 minutes just to like get |
| 1164s | through the day |
| 1167s | don't say that though so |
| 1170s | and last but certainly not least is our |
| 1172s | newest expedition in the m10 for tempest |
| 1174s | that has taken 27 minutes and 12 seconds |
| 1178s | what i'm hearing is we got to bump those |
| 1180s | up |
| 1184s | i would like to see players see just how |
| 1186s | fast they can get through that content |
| 1188s | so i know which parts to bump up oh |
| 1191s | that was all off the top of your head |
| 1192s | too that was yeah definitely |
| 1198s | incredible stuff well well done |
| 1201s | and i mean that's the questions that i |
| 1202s | have for you guys today so thank you so |
| 1204s | much for joining me and and diving a |
| 1206s | little bit deeper into the community |
| 1208s | great to be here all right thanks guys |
| 1210s | all right thank you |
| 1216s | hey players this section is going to be |
| 1218s | about community the community team |
| 1220s | spends a lot of time looking for |
| 1221s | questions and it's been asked time and |
| 1223s | time again for us to directly answer |
| 1225s | questions so joining us today is phil |
| 1229s | dave and then we also have dave who is |
| 1231s | joining us today remotely so i mean |
| 1234s | let's get right to it phil you're the |
| 1236s | first one up and i'm going to read |
| 1237s | directly questions that players have |
| 1239s | been sent to us by other players awesome |
| 1242s | um all right new world just finished its |
| 1244s | first ever rabbit's revenge |
| 1247s | what did the team learn from this and |
| 1248s | any hints to what we can see for future |
| 1250s | events |
| 1252s | for sure uh first i do want to say we we |
| 1254s | think about events in new world in two |
| 1257s | general sizes we've got our major events |
| 1259s | like the winter convergence festival and |
| 1261s | then we have these like smaller what we |
| 1262s | refer to as minor events uh like |
| 1265s | rabbit's revenge or if you remember the |
| 1266s | giant turkey that uh yeah mysteriously |
| 1269s | showed up in uh november last year |
| 1271s | yeah uh those are more of the size and |
| 1273s | scope of like what we call our smaller |
| 1275s | events and that was our intention with |
| 1276s | this one it was a nice like |
| 1278s | uh |
| 1279s | change of pace uh you know introduce it |
| 1281s | like a new short set of goals for |
| 1282s | players to um |
| 1284s | tackle |
| 1285s | for a little while in new world um add a |
| 1287s | little bit more spice and variety into |
| 1289s | the game and then um you know go back to |
| 1292s | the general gameplay right when the |
| 1294s | event ends one of the things we learned |
| 1296s | and i think the big takeaway for us here |
| 1298s | is we want to make sure in future events |
| 1299s | that we run it's a lot clearer |
| 1302s | what players |
| 1303s | need to do or how they are making |
| 1305s | progress to achieve like all of the |
| 1308s | rewards right in the event so you know |
| 1310s | for all those players that did uh were |
| 1312s | eight were lucky enough to to get the |
| 1314s | chest hair drop |
| 1315s | which was a an actual chest not hair oh |
| 1318s | storage but storage chest |
| 1321s | um i know |
| 1322s | [Laughter] |
| 1324s | you know congrats to those players |
| 1325s | awesome um and uh but yeah i mean uh we |
| 1329s | want to make sure it's a lot clearer |
| 1330s | that if you are putting in the work kill |
| 1332s | hundreds or thousands of rats yeah we |
| 1334s | saw some huge numbers on the forums |
| 1336s | right yeah that that um you know you |
| 1338s | know you're gonna |
| 1339s | hopefully gonna |
| 1341s | net out into a positive result so that's |
| 1343s | a big takeaway um we're gonna look at |
| 1345s | you know the the the nice part about |
| 1347s | events is we have the ability to bring |
| 1348s | those back at certain points in the year |
| 1350s | too so as it makes sense we can look at |
| 1352s | bringing those back and and making |
| 1354s | improvements as we do it as well as |
| 1356s | introducing new events too so um |
| 1358s | i think you know more to come a lot more |
| 1360s | to announce in future releases but like |
| 1363s | um for this one yeah we just want to |
| 1365s | make it you know make sure that players |
| 1366s | understand like what's my goal why am i |
| 1368s | doing this stuff and make it clear like |
| 1370s | here's here's you know what you'll get |
| 1372s | if you if you reach the end of the |
| 1374s | rainbow so yeah and we're listening to |
| 1376s | players when it comes to these events |
| 1378s | we'll learn how to make them even better |
| 1379s | next time |
| 1380s | all right so the next question from the |
| 1382s | players is previously and this is for |
| 1385s | dave h |
| 1386s | this is for you buddy all right |
| 1388s | previously in the desync blog the team |
| 1390s | mentioned that they will be constantly |
| 1392s | striving to approve the in-game |
| 1393s | experience can you tell us some |
| 1395s | additional fixes that you made to the to |
| 1398s | make the game play smoother |
| 1400s | yes for sure we still have a dedicated |
| 1402s | desync team that's working on these |
| 1404s | night and day uh and so we have a we |
| 1406s | have a lot of minor fixes coming in we |
| 1408s | also have a couple major ones that we |
| 1410s | should have in for may they're still in |
| 1411s | testing we really hope they make it |
| 1413s | through |
| 1414s | uh |
| 1414s | and some of the big ones and most |
| 1417s | notable ones will be when you're rooted |
| 1419s | uh and get leaving root um and getting |
| 1421s | that animation stutter uh looks like we |
| 1423s | have a finally have a fix for that which |
| 1425s | also fixed a bunch of other ones at the |
| 1426s | same time so that should be a really big |
| 1429s | quality of life improvement that's |
| 1430s | happening from the gravity well and ice |
| 1432s | shower and all those those moves the |
| 1434s | other big one is that when you |
| 1436s | quickly move your camera during an |
| 1437s | attack it was actually giving you a |
| 1438s | positional desync so you could actually |
| 1440s | pop at the end of your move to a |
| 1442s | different location and we have a really |
| 1444s | nice fixing for that one right now too |
| 1446s | we're still looking at the void blade |
| 1448s | desync we think we're going to get a fix |
| 1449s | in it's been a little bit trickier |
| 1451s | trying to get that one done but that |
| 1453s | that's on the horizon um and those are |
| 1455s | just some of the notable ones but we're |
| 1457s | we have a big list of them and we're |
| 1459s | still |
| 1460s | going through them every day so |
| 1462s | okay |
| 1463s | that's great that's great to hear |
| 1465s | all right so then our next question and |
| 1467s | this is for you dave uh crafting has |
| 1469s | always been an interesting feature |
| 1471s | within new world however some players |
| 1473s | believe it to be expensive are there any |
| 1475s | changes coming into the crafting to make |
| 1477s | it more viable |
| 1479s | uh yes i think you know first we we |
| 1482s | agree it is expensive and it is you know |
| 1485s | some trade skills are a little more |
| 1487s | arduous than others so one of the things |
| 1489s | we're looking at is sort of balancing |
| 1490s | out the efforts so that you know for |
| 1492s | instance logging is a good example of |
| 1494s | phishing those types of trade skills are |
| 1496s | taking way longer than some of the other |
| 1497s | ones like gathering so oh my god logging |
| 1499s | took me forever |
| 1501s | you hit 200 logging heads yeah |
| 1503s | oh yeah so one of the things we're |
| 1505s | looking at doing is balancing that out |
| 1507s | so that they're more equal another thing |
| 1508s | we're going to look at is you know uh |
| 1510s | there's sort of like a a train to this |
| 1512s | right you gather then you refine then |
| 1514s | you craft |
| 1516s | and right now the gathering is is |
| 1517s | usually going faster than the refining |
| 1519s | and the crafting is usually the slowest |
| 1521s | by far so trying to balance that out |
| 1523s | another a little bit is also something |
| 1525s | we're going to be looking at |
| 1526s | in terms of the value of crafting like |
| 1528s | we do think there's some very valuable |
| 1529s | stuff you've been crafting right |
| 1530s | especially end game i think end game |
| 1532s | crafting and super early game crafting |
| 1534s | are in in okay place |
| 1537s | uh the middle we have some work to do on |
| 1539s | for sure but in the end game there's |
| 1540s | some very valuable stuff right like |
| 1542s | depending on the weapon like some places |
| 1544s | have great drops but like uh hammer has |
| 1546s | a lot of great drops but great axe |
| 1548s | doesn't have as many right so if you |
| 1549s | want to get a truly bis drop like you |
| 1552s | have to craft those so i think there is |
| 1553s | value there uh the requirements that you |
| 1556s | need to fulfill to be able to craft |
| 1558s | those truly great things and then the |
| 1560s | resources that go into that we do agree |
| 1562s | that's high right now and that's |
| 1563s | something we're gonna be looking at |
| 1564s | there's no sort of immediate plans but |
| 1566s | it is on our radar okay great that's |
| 1568s | great to know that even you guys are |
| 1570s | looking into it so yeah i think no big |
| 1573s | changes for me but it's like we're |
| 1574s | really taking a really deep dive look at |
| 1576s | that stuff and making sure you know |
| 1578s | trying to we want to get it right when |
| 1580s | we when we do those balance changes they |
| 1582s | have a big ripple effect into how you |
| 1584s | know the |
| 1585s | economies in the game work and |
| 1586s | everything else so we want to make sure |
| 1587s | we're we're buttoned up on that before |
| 1589s | we we send it out so we're looking into |
| 1591s | it okay that's great all right so this |
| 1594s | one is for you two gentlemen dave and |
| 1597s | phil |
| 1598s | how about an update on the state of the |
| 1600s | economy |
| 1602s | why don't i start uh i think in terms of |
| 1605s | the gold economy we're generally happy |
| 1608s | with where we've gotten to i know like |
| 1609s | you know there was a period of time |
| 1611s | there were deflationary times at one |
| 1612s | point |
| 1614s | coin was a little tight it was tight |
| 1616s | i think we've made some changes the |
| 1618s | economy has spruced up and i think we're |
| 1620s | generally happy with the gold economy we |
| 1621s | see players balances increasing over |
| 1623s | time but they're not increasing at such |
| 1626s | an alarming rate that we're worried |
| 1627s | about hyperinflation so i think we're |
| 1629s | generally happy with gold i think uh |
| 1631s | azoth is you know i think the azoth |
| 1633s | economy has been sort of |
| 1635s | uh ruined or erect with a lot of the |
| 1637s | facts we took it all for our |
| 1641s | we are aware that azoth is a currency |
| 1643s | that needs a better home we do have some |
| 1645s | very interesting ideas coming for that |
| 1647s | uh you know i like how it's tied to |
| 1649s | crafting now expect us to dig into that |
| 1651s | even more in the future but that's a |
| 1653s | little ways off so we're aware of it and |
| 1655s | we're working on it uh i think you know |
| 1657s | uh item disparity in the value of items |
| 1660s | might be an area where there's some work |
| 1661s | to do phil |
| 1662s | i think so too um it kind of goes back |
| 1664s | to what we were talking about with |
| 1665s | crafting a bit on the material economy |
| 1668s | side of things the mats that you used to |
| 1669s | craft um you know we did notice a big |
| 1672s | deficiency in |
| 1674s | things um like star metal and or calcium |
| 1676s | oh yeah right and so we are actually |
| 1678s | adding a lot more veins of those into |
| 1680s | the may build okay so i gotta change up |
| 1682s | my my routes now there's gonna be |
| 1684s | actually some new routes so we took a |
| 1685s | look look at the map we looked we found |
| 1687s | some areas where it was like sparse and |
| 1689s | i think okay really good so yeah so |
| 1691s | that's actually be something to dig into |
| 1693s | for the players when when the may build |
| 1695s | comes out like where did the more or |
| 1697s | what are the routes now right first star |
| 1699s | mental health we didn't take any away |
| 1701s | that's what i was just gonna ask did you |
| 1702s | take any away or we did not we |
| 1704s | just added just added so |
| 1706s | uh so that should help that out we are |
| 1708s | looking um also at uh mid-tier hides and |
| 1711s | things like that as well |
| 1713s | and so expect some changes in the future |
| 1715s | for for all the different like you know |
| 1717s | which is balancing and tweaking and |
| 1718s | polishing but um we are definitely |
| 1721s | listening to all your feedback out there |
| 1722s | on where you're having these pain points |
| 1724s | and we're and we're you know trying to |
| 1726s | find those ways to |
| 1727s | introduce you know make it better in fun |
| 1729s | ways like i'm really excited for like |
| 1731s | the new um |
| 1733s | metal vein runs that we're right we're |
| 1734s | adding yeah all right well thank you so |
| 1736s | much for joining me guys and that's it |
