| 0s | one we're looking at the menus with |
|---|---|
| 2s | crafting we're making sure that there's |
| 4s | uh a smaller amount in that so I can |
| 6s | visually look at that menu and say okay |
| 7s | you know these are the things that I |
| 9s | want instead of trying to parse through |
| 10s | and figure out what's going on uh two |
| 12s | we're just cutting a lot of the food |
| 13s | there's a lot of food that just doesn't |
| 15s | have as much |
| 20s | value hello and welcome to forge interum |
| 23s | the show where we talk All Things New |
| 25s | World my name is Patrick I'm joined |
| 27s | today by Tony and Joel and we're here to |
| 30s | talk about a topic that's really bad to |
| 31s | be talking about during lunchtime |
| 33s | because I'm already hungry but the |
| 34s | cooking trade skill uh we're going to |
| 36s | work towards simplifying it we want to |
| 38s | walk you through what that means and |
| 39s | what our plans are for that um so kind |
| 42s | of take a few steps back Tony can you |
| 44s | give me a little look into like the |
| 45s | history of the cooking trade skill yeah |
| 47s | where it's been and where it's going |
| 49s | absolutely so uh first off I love |
| 51s | cooking in game not real life I mean I'm |
| 54s | okay but anyway uh I'm a huge fan of |
| 56s | cooking and uh it's one of my favorite |
| 58s | trade skills in New World and so when |
| 59s | we're taking taking a look at what we |
| 61s | wanted to do for the trade skill and and |
| 63s | where it came from we have currently in |
| 66s | game uh a plethora of options we have |
| 69s | all of the split stat Foods we have all |
| 71s | the different tiers for uh your |
| 73s | Gathering Foods uh we have all the |
| 74s | different tiers for your crafting Foods |
| 77s | um and there's just honestly just a ton |
| 80s | of stuff now after uh we've kind of |
| 82s | analyzed and seen players play and |
| 84s | understand what players like to use and |
| 86s | what they need to do and and what they |
| 87s | really go for that's kind of what kicked |
| 89s | off this question of like what can we do |
| 92s | to simplify this make it a little bit |
| 93s | more straightforward without really |
| 94s | losing anything out of the game um as |
| 97s | yall are more than aware our recipe |
| 100s | lists in our crafting stations are only |
| 102s | getting longer and longer and longer uh |
| 104s | and so we really want to take some time |
| 105s | to honestly clean up a little bit of |
| 107s | debt and and simplify those things back |
| 109s | down so we can continue to add content |
| 111s | without performance concerns and |
| 113s | anything else as these lists get to be |
| 115s | exceptionally long yeah absolutely and |
| 117s | cooking is a trade skill that I think |
| 118s | has a lot of fantasy alongside it a |
| 120s | fantasy of combining all these |
| 121s | ingredients you're out there harvesting |
| 122s | and buying to make these unique Foods we |
| 124s | don't want to lose that alongside this |
| 126s | uh we just want to help make the trade |
| 128s | skill a little leaner and simplify our |
| 129s | inventories a little bit so we've talked |
| 131s | about that with the expansion shipping |
| 133s | uh one of our goals with some of the |
| 134s | loot reduction was to make that |
| 135s | Inventory management a little easier for |
| 137s | players because playing inventory Sim is |
| 139s | not the most engaging part of our game |
| 141s | uh how do we want to accomplish that |
| 143s | with the cooking simplification yeah so |
| 145s | that's a good question ultimately um one |
| 148s | we're looking at the menus with crafting |
| 149s | we're making sure that there's uh a |
| 151s | smaller amount in that so I can visually |
| 153s | look at that menu and say okay you know |
| 155s | these are the things that I want instead |
| 156s | of trying to parse through and figure |
| 158s | out what's going on uh two we're just |
| 160s | cutting a lot of the food there's a lot |
| 161s | of food that just doesn't have as much |
| 162s | value um I can go get a piece of food |
| 165s | with con or decks and it's far more |
| 167s | valuable than a dual Stat one because |
| 169s | it's really hard to make a lot of those |
| 170s | work easily compared to just having a |
| 173s | single stat and choosing what I want |
| 175s | there um so ultimately we're pairing a |
| 176s | lot of those out which you'll see a lot |
| 178s | less in your inventory which I can go |
| 180s | back as say a returning player comes |
| 181s | they're looking at their inventory what |
| 183s | are all these foods which one do I want |
| 184s | being able to consolidate a lot of that |
| 186s | really helps again uh you mentioned um |
| 189s | there's a lot of fantasy of going out |
| 191s | and getting those different ingredients |
| 193s | so we want to keep some of that I still |
| 194s | think there's room to cut but we'll |
| 195s | debate some of that later um and that |
| 197s | might be in the future but right now |
| 198s | it's really consolidating the volume of |
| 200s | the food how many items you can craft |
| 202s | while still making the trade skill feel |
| 204s | viable and valuable um so there's just a |
| 207s | lot of dual stat stuff that we're |
| 208s | cutting out which ends up being a lot |
| 210s | and Tony has got numbers for that later |
| 212s | of how much we actually cut from those |
| 213s | items as well as the crafting menu which |
| 215s | I think is important too absolutely uh |
| 218s | somewhere someone is watching this going |
| 220s | oh no that Focus strength food really |
| 222s | let me achieve my perfect build how am I |
| 224s | going to achieve that now uh one note |
| 226s | that's important to consider and I don't |
| 228s | think we're ready to talk about that |
| 229s | with this video but we do have some big |
| 230s | magnifi changes coming in season five |
| 233s | which will let make the attribute |
| 234s | selection across the board getting that |
| 236s | perfect build a lot easier too so for |
| 238s | those of you worried we've considered |
| 240s | all that it's going to be handled so |
| 242s | Joel just talked to us about how we're |
| 244s | going to be cutting down a lot of food |
| 245s | so I have that Focus strength food I |
| 247s | just mentioned sitting in my inventory |
| 249s | what happens to it yes you don't have to |
| 251s | worry about us just taking a bunch of |
| 252s | stuff away and this goes for any food |
| 254s | that you may have created any physical |
| 256s | uh recipes that you may have in your |
| 257s | inventory as well basically what uh |
| 259s | we've done is we've gone through and if |
| 261s | you had a primary focus with secondary |
| 264s | strength that is a tier three that's |
| 266s | going to get converted over to a tier |
| 268s | three Focus food so what whatever the |
| 270s | primary stat was for that food it's just |
| 272s | going to get converted into the pure |
| 273s | version of that food that goes for both |
| 275s | the uh food itself that's been crafted |
| 278s | as well as um any of the physical |
| 280s | recipes that you have to to learn these |
| 282s | items uh if you happen to have an item |
| 285s | on the uh trade poost and it's for sale |
| 287s | when this happens uh the trade poost |
| 289s | listing will get canceled it will get |
| 291s | sent back to you as the new item and |
| 292s | then you can do with it what you see fit |
| 294s | so you're not going to lose any of those |
| 296s | uh will you lose access to being able to |
| 298s | craft uh Focus Dex food yes you will |
| 301s | lose you will lose access to being able |
| 303s | to craft that that is kind of the whole |
| 305s | point of simplifying this stuff down but |
| 307s | any of those physical items that you've |
| 308s | already made you will have those |
| 310s | converted over in your inventory awesome |
| 312s | sounds great to me my cutless keys |
| 313s | inventory is going to thank you because |
| 315s | that is a mess to scroll through right |
| 316s | now so I'm looking forward to that yeah |
| 318s | it should really help you know we have |
| 319s | the uh I think it's 500 unique item |
| 321s | limits and storages converting all these |
| 323s | things down is going to give people a |
| 324s | little bit more headro if they want to |
| 326s | have a whole bunch of different food |
| 327s | they won't need to have as much uh and |
| 329s | this just doesn't this just isn't |
| 331s | limited to the split staff food uh tier |
| 334s | 2 through 4 Gathering food and I believe |
| 336s | tier 2 through four crafting Foods those |
| 339s | have been removed as well and if you had |
| 341s | a uh tier 2 mining food you will now |
| 344s | have a tier five mining food uh the |
| 346s | level requirement for consuming tier |
| 348s | five uh Gathering and uh trade skill |
| 351s | Foods has been reduced from 60 down to |
| 353s | 15 so the main goal there was again |
| 356s | simplification but two to be completely |
| 358s | honest a tier 2 mining food didn't give |
| 360s | you a whole lot of an impactful |
| 362s | difference uh I think it was uh what was |
| 365s | it 500 base luck or something can't |
| 368s | remember off the top of my head but |
| 369s | either way it wasn't enough uh and being |
| 372s | able to consume those higher foods |
| 373s | should make a bigger impact as your Lev |
| 374s | one I think that'll be great for those |
| 375s | leveling players too I do um so one big |
| 378s | piece of this change is also some |
| 380s | changes to the fishing trade skill um |
| 383s | this ties into some shuffling of food |
| 384s | we're going to be doing with this update |
| 386s | Joel can you talk to me about that a |
| 387s | little bit yeah um so for those of you |
| 390s | that really enjoy fishing uh legendary |
| 392s | fish were excessively common uh almost |
| 396s | so that they weren't that valuable um or |
| 399s | at least not as valuable as we'd like |
| 400s | them considering they're a legendary |
| 401s | item um so we are looking at making that |
| 405s | or or putting that back into uh cooking |
| 408s | in a way that makes them the primary |
| 410s | ingredient for the best food or at least |
| 412s | most of the best food um as well as |
| 414s | making them a little bit more rare so |
| 415s | they kind of increase the value of those |
| 418s | items so players can go out and seek |
| 419s | these things that really want and if |
| 420s | you're a fishing uh trade skill gatherer |
| 423s | player that really enjoys that you will |
| 425s | be able to make a lot more money off of |
| 426s | selling these uh legendary fish to other |
| 428s | players and for those of you that don't |
| 430s | really want to do that there's still the |
| 432s | options of some of the other food you |
| 433s | still have the brimstone food and you'll |
| 435s | still have the expansion food that |
| 437s | should help uh fill in those gaps but |
| 439s | the fishing food will generally be the |
| 441s | best with the exception con food as well |
| 443s | won't require that at a high level so |
| 445s | you'll have Alternatives if you want to |
| 447s | just use kind of the um generic food |
| 450s | with con which we consider generic cuz |
| 452s | it's very versatile um but if you really |
| 454s | want that strength food that Dex food |
| 456s | you're going to have to find a fish or |
| 457s | fish yourself if you enjoy it uh go get |
| 460s | those legendary fish yeah uh can you |
| 462s | walk to through like the roll rates a |
| 463s | little bit and how we plan to make that |
| 465s | change yeah absolutely so with the |
| 467s | changes to fishing um basically how it |
| 470s | worked uh or Works currently in live uh |
| 472s | when you hit a fishing hot spot um you |
| 475s | get a absurd amount of luck on top of it |
| 477s | and so what that was doing was basically |
| 479s | almost every cast uh you would come back |
| 482s | with a legendary fish uh what we've done |
| 485s | is we have adjusted the roll rates um so |
| 487s | getting a legendary fish if you're not |
| 489s | at a hot spot uh will be an |
| 491s | exceptionally rare SL almost impossible |
| 494s | Occurrence at this point so you have to |
| 495s | hit your hotpots and then on top of |
| 497s | hitting the hot spot you're going to |
| 498s | need to have fishing gear a decent pole |
| 501s | gear um trophies will help as well uh in |
| 505s | order to get a high enough role to get a |
| 507s | legendary fish the goal for this is much |
| 509s | like what we have for some of our other |
| 511s | trade skills if you want to get these |
| 512s | more rare materials you have the gear |
| 514s | you put in the time and you go out and |
| 515s | you get your stuff this way the time |
| 517s | that you spend on the trade skill has a |
| 519s | return on value in the end um it was |
| 522s | always kind of weird to level fishing to |
| 524s | 250 and then go get a you know gs100 |
| 527s | stick and throw it in a hot Squat and |
| 529s | get a legendary fish it just there's no |
| 530s | payoff for for your actual investment |
| 533s | there um so that's kind of the big thing |
| 535s | that's going to be happening uh with |
| 536s | fishing to help make those legendary |
| 538s | fish uh come from people who put in the |
| 540s | time that sounds awesome to me and I |
| 542s | can't wait to finally wear my nice weird |
| 544s | fishing hat Ander run through the world |
| 546s | it's going to be great can't wait um so |
| 549s | this all exciting stuff so if I'm a new |
| 551s | player though coming into the game isn't |
| 553s | this we're removing so many recipes |
| 554s | won't that make leveling uh cooking |
| 556s | harder because we're losing so many |
| 558s | first craft bonuses no actually so one |
| 560s | of the other big changes that's going to |
| 561s | happen from this is you're no longer |
| 564s | going to create one meal at a time |
| 565s | you're going to create bundles of three |
| 567s | so you'll have to have a little bit more |
| 569s | on the resource side of things but this |
| 572s | really bumps up how much experience you |
| 574s | get and so with the increased experience |
| 577s | and the First Time Craft bonus what |
| 578s | you'll find is like as you go through |
| 580s | the profession it is worth just kind of |
| 582s | making one of everything to really get |
| 584s | those bonuses and kind of push your way |
| 585s | through um and it really does help |
| 587s | fulfill the fantasy of I'm a chef I want |
| 589s | to cook all these different things uh |
| 591s | versus one of the things that we had at |
| 593s | launch which was I'm going to go make |
| 595s | 20,000 basic meals and just level |
| 597s | cooking and like we've walked away from |
| 599s | that big time so I think the new uh |
| 602s | experience curves that have been set up |
| 604s | the uh making three items instead of one |
| 607s | first craft bonuses all that really help |
| 609s | just kind of push people along and allow |
| 611s | them to experiment with their with their |
| 613s | cooking progression absolutely all right |
| 615s | so this has been a nice little Deep dive |
| 617s | into cooking simplification I'm super |
| 619s | excited about this um what's coming next |
| 622s | so what's coming next more trade skills |
| 625s | um as we've gone through uh the history |
| 628s | of new world with some of our updates we |
| 631s | have continually had you know added more |
| 633s | recipes added more gear one of the big |
| 635s | things for us um especially with with |
| 637s | cooking was the brimstone update so with |
| 640s | the brimstone update we didn't have |
| 641s | level cap increase we didn't have |
| 643s | attribute cap increase either and so |
| 646s | what this created was this created a |
| 648s | kind of a tier that was like tier five |
| 649s | plus if you will um and it was this |
| 652s | middle ground in between the original |
| 654s | game and uh the expansion so going |
| 657s | through with cooking for example and |
| 659s | shuffling some of these around uh and |
| 661s | looking at our other trade skills we're |
| 663s | going to be simplifying and kind of |
| 664s | moving some things around uh good |
| 666s | example a relatable example I can make |
| 668s | to this is armoring uh when we launched |
| 672s | the game armoring had your uh armor that |
| 675s | was uh heavy emphasis on Elemental heavy |
| 678s | emphasis on physical and then balanced |
| 681s | when we set up the armors for expansion |
| 685s | we just did a balance set we're going to |
| 687s | be going back we're going to be cleaning |
| 688s | those things out don't worry the |
| 689s | appearances will still be available in |
| 691s | some way or another um but we really |
| 693s | want to kind of cut all this down rework |
| 695s | the uh XP curves make sure that it's |
| 697s | still you know enjoyable to level but we |
| 701s | don't need you know 17 different shirts |
| 704s | um jewelry is the same thing as you all |
| 706s | saw in the expansion uh with Jewel |
| 708s | crafting we had a ring we had a necklace |
| 711s | and we had an earring where if you look |
| 713s | at the uh original version there's I |
| 715s | think there's 17 versions of each and so |
| 717s | there's just we can do better and so |
| 720s | that is what this is a step forward and |
| 722s | cleaning that up just to have a a better |
| 724s | cleaner experience for the player |
| 726s | awesome well I'm excited for all these |
| 728s | um I know my inventory will thank you |
| 730s | and I cannot wait to open up these |
| 731s | crafting menus and being able to see |
| 733s | immediately like what I want to craft |
| 735s | instead of scrolling scrolling scrolling |
| 737s | oh man I scrolled past that time with |
| 738s | shter let's go back to that one y ah |
| 740s | there it is okay oh now I'm missing an |
| 742s | ingredient let's go back to the Trading |
| 743s | Post figure out what it is right you |
| 744s | know uh I think room glass is another |
| 746s | one that is just there's so much stuff |
| 748s | for one system so there's a lot so rest |
| 750s | assured we're looking at it and it's |
| 752s | going to be getting a lot of a lot of |
| 753s | TLC all right I think that wraps up then |
| 756s | this episode so thank you both for |
| 758s | joining me of course uh today's |
