| 0s | every time a player leaves or enters an |
|---|---|
| 3s | instance they are spammed with title |
| 5s | achievements why limit the number of |
| 7s | active artifact quests per character at |
| 9s | all what is the team's plan to fix |
| 11s | missing lore notes any time frame on |
| 14s | when the devs will play their first opr |
| 16s | map we are slowing down to release |
| 18s | quality updates and quote Scott Lane |
| 21s | well so much for that well at least we |
| 24s | got Cris event yeah uh sometimes get |
| 27s | things get a little worse before they |
| 28s | get |
| 29s | better |
| 30s | [Applause] |
| 34s | hello Community welcome to the February |
| 36s | Community Q&A I'm here with Scott and as |
| 39s | you can see we have an empty seat |
| 40s | because da V well he said he's either |
| 43s | going to be late or he's going to send a |
| 45s | replacement and we'll just have to wait |
| 46s | and see uh so today we're going to be |
| 48s | taking your oh wait here here we go |
| 51s | excuse me look who's back I'll just mosy |
| 53s | on in |
| 54s | here sorry guys I was in traffic for the |
| 58s | last five months |
| 61s | Look Who's Back speculation can end |
| 64s | Katie's here alive um before we start I |
| 67s | just want to touch on something really |
| 68s | quickly which is we're going to answer a |
| 70s | bunch of questions here but as you |
| 72s | noticed in our last forun of tum uh that |
| 74s | wasn't with us it was just a regular for |
| 76s | tournament we answered some questions so |
| 78s | we're going to keep doing that until we |
| 79s | hear from yall that you don't like it so |
| 83s | um I the winter Rune Forge mounts there |
| 86s | uh there's going to be a few more coming |
| 88s | that go into your questions so don't |
| 89s | feel bad if we don't get to it here that |
| 91s | we still might get to it in one of those |
| 93s | um otherwise I think uh we're ready for |
| 97s | further questions all right well I'd |
| 99s | like to begin with a quote um we are |
| 102s | slowing down to release quality updates |
| 105s | end quote Scott Lane well so much for |
| 107s | that well at least we got Cris event I |
| 111s | guess shrug yeah uh sometimes things get |
| 114s | a little worse before they get better uh |
| 117s | this is an example of that um you know |
| 121s | all I can do is tell you that when we |
| 123s | make a mistake we do what we call the |
| 125s | correction of Errors we understand what |
| 126s | the mistake was and then we try to not |
| 130s | make that same mistake again |
| 132s | um we are slowing down as as we've |
| 135s | talked about and I you know I can |
| 137s | promise you that we're putting every |
| 138s | effort we can into make season five a |
| 141s | smooth super fun awesome eventless uh |
| 144s | negative eventless release yes exactly |
| 148s | all right so um every time a player |
| 151s | leaves or enters an instance they are |
| 153s | spammed with title achievements this has |
| 156s | been an issue for the longest time any |
| 158s | plans on fixing this bug yeah um so the |
| 162s | first thing to note here is it's not |
| 164s | anytime someone leaves it's anytime |
| 165s | certain people leave uh and lucky me I'm |
| 168s | one of those so I am INF you two yeah I |
| 171s | am infuriated by this bug but Katie |
| 173s | doesn't have it I'm still infuriated by |
| 176s | it but it doesn't affect me uh the |
| 178s | problem with that is it makes it really |
| 179s | hard to to fix because we're not sure if |
| 182s | it's like your persistent state of you |
| 185s | or something with your thing in the |
| 186s | world or something that you're doing |
| 187s | different or with your computer or your |
| 189s | steam connection so I can't promise it's |
| 191s | going to be six fixed for season five I |
| 194s | can promise we're going to try and I can |
| 196s | promise that I complain it about it to |
| 197s | the team every single day because it's |
| 200s | frustrating as so and if it does impact |
| 202s | you one of the things that you can do is |
| 204s | when it happens go into the in-game |
| 207s | feedback tool so open the game menu go |
| 209s | down to submit feedback and then just |
| 211s | say that you've hit the in-game spam |
| 214s | issue because we'll pull a bunch of data |
| 216s | and a bunch of information from your |
| 217s | report and that really helps us dig in |
| 220s | so when it happens to you you don't have |
| 221s | to do it a bunch of times you just need |
| 223s | to do it once when you hit it so just |
| 225s | hit that ingame feedback tool and and to |
| 227s | add a little bit more to that like for |
| 229s | the longest time we weren't able to |
| 230s | reproduce that issue uh internally uh |
| 233s | with like our QA team and that's changed |
| 236s | recently we found kind of like what we |
| 238s | thought was a Smoking Gun with like a |
| 240s | race condition between our different |
| 241s | Services connecting and all that um and |
| 244s | so so there have been uh fixes made to |
| 247s | to that aspect of it um it looks like |
| 249s | there's still some parts that that still |
| 251s | need a little bit more uh love uh so |
| 254s | it's ongoing but like we're we're making |
| 257s | good Headway now yep I'm just going to |
| 259s | ask why limit the number of active |
| 261s | artifact quests per character at all |
| 263s | could it be removed or just increased to |
| 265s | an outrageous number that doesn't get in |
| 267s | the way of progression if the system |
| 269s | requires a limit yeah so that's a great |
| 272s | question uh the reason we do that is |
| 275s | because there's only so much capacity to |
| 277s | store data about an individual character |
| 280s | um and all the different parts of of a |
| 283s | character all the items they have and |
| 284s | all their storages and uh you know Quest |
| 287s | progression and character progression |
| 289s | all that kind of stuff is kind of stored |
| 291s | together for us and if that goes over |
| 294s | our limit then you're going to have |
| 295s | issues with with players not being able |
| 297s | to load into the game or play and so we |
| 299s | have to be very careful careful to make |
| 300s | sure we're not uh doing anything that's |
| 302s | going to push us over that limit and so |
| 305s | to to help us there we've been doing a |
| 306s | lot of uh optimization work on reducing |
| 309s | the size of that data we're storing so |
| 312s | we've done it for items we've done it |
| 313s | for for some other things we're |
| 316s | currently in progress of doing that for |
| 317s | objective data |
| 318s | specifically um and that will let us |
| 322s | increase that limit uh in the future we |
| 324s | actually did increase it from 5 to 10 uh |
| 327s | recently and for season five and so um |
| 330s | it'll it'll be a little nicer in the |
| 333s | near term and then uh we'll be able to |
| 335s | increase it further in the future when |
| 337s | will you guys start to look into dead |
| 339s | servers merge quicker than letting |
| 341s | people suffer or buy transfer tokens |
| 344s | well I can assure you that we don't want |
| 347s | you to suffer and it's not our goal to |
| 349s | get you to buy transfer tokens that |
| 351s | should be just something that you want |
| 353s | to do of your own accord um we are |
| 356s | currently looking at merges um there's |
| 359s | some um there's some there's some delays |
| 362s | just because uh we have the team that |
| 365s | generally does that we have them working |
| 366s | on something else that is super exciting |
| 369s | um but it takes a little bit to get |
| 371s | those resources back over to help us |
| 373s | with those merges but I can guarantee |
| 374s | you that those are in the works and so |
| 377s | you should be seeing information soon if |
| 379s | not already um about server merges do |
| 382s | you look at data on the type of |
| 384s | activities accounts spend most of their |
| 386s | Play Time on I'd be interested to see |
| 388s | here what percentage of players only do |
| 390s | opr Arena open world flag PVP versus |
| 393s | those who just run endless Expeditions |
| 396s | and chest runs yeah so I mean you've all |
| 399s | seen the the dashboards and things like |
| 400s | that we definitely track uh player |
| 403s | activity what they're spending their |
| 404s | time on we kind of identify what kinds |
| 406s | of players we have you know heavy PVP |
| 409s | heavy PVE um we found that most PVP |
| 413s | players also do a lot of PVE right um |
| 417s | and so there aren't a ton that are |
| 419s | solely those activities that were listed |
| 421s | there only open world PVP only opr um |
| 425s | and so generally like the the PVP |
| 428s | intensive players are maybe like a third |
| 431s | roughly of uh of our player base um as |
| 436s | of I think right now but at but they |
| 438s | also around launch and like when the |
| 439s | populations are bigger that that ratio |
| 441s | is a little different smaller um but |
| 443s | also the ones who play PVP primarily |
| 447s | still do a lot of PVE right we so |
| 450s | I think what's important about I think |
| 451s | it was a great question too and what's |
| 452s | important is when there's a lot of |
| 454s | questions that come up like we know |
| 456s | everybody wants this thing I want when |
| 458s | actually there are segments of people |
| 460s | there's no there's there's actually I |
| 462s | mean everybody wants no crashes that's |
| 464s | kind of stuff I agree with but there are |
| 465s | not a lot of game features or game play |
| 467s | or content that everyone wants there's |
| 469s | what a lot we so we try to hit the |
| 471s | broadest Spectrum with the big |
| 473s | paintbrush and over time we also try to |
| 475s | hit specific needs at other groups as |
| 477s | well will musket traps affect mounts can |
| 480s | mounts get trapped and it must get |
| 482s | trapped and if not why not I'm not sure |
| 485s | if they will for season five uh I don't |
| 487s | know the positive answer I think long |
| 489s | term they will um but the intention is |
| 492s | when you're on a mount and you're shot |
| 494s | in PvP or should a shot hit you'll |
| 497s | Dismount um and I don't know that we got |
| 500s | there with the traps or not um we'll |
| 502s | look into that yeah cuz those don't do |
| 504s | damage it's just a movement impairing |
| 507s | effect it is the plan but I don't think |
| 509s | going to make season five but I I think |
| 512s | the important thing here is |
| 514s | like it's funny because I've seen some |
| 516s | people oh my God it's so obvious mounts |
| 517s | are going to make opr the best and I've |
| 519s | seen other people mounts are going to |
| 520s | ruin opr I think the first thing we just |
| 522s | need to do is like let's just see what |
| 524s | happens internally we have a lot of fun |
| 525s | when we're playing with mount in opr |
| 528s | let's let's see what it does to the to |
| 529s | the player to the game and if it has a |
| 532s | positive reaction we'll do more work |
| 533s | toward it and if it has a negative |
| 534s | reaction we'll make some changes yeah |
| 536s | it's supposed to be fun yeah it's a game |
| 537s | yeah let's have fun you said the loot |
| 541s | for the worm raid was something you'd |
| 542s | like to look at in the future but it |
| 544s | isn't currently on the to-do list I have |
| 547s | to ask how why has this occurred this is |
| 550s | your most challenging PVE content in the |
| 553s | game how is an expansion created and |
| 555s | launched but the rewards to what is |
| 557s | essentially the top tier PVE content |
| 560s | wasn't updated yeah so um it is on our |
| 564s | to-do list to update the um the wor the |
| 568s | sandworm trial |
| 570s | um rewards so that is something that we |
| 572s | are working on so that's happening uh I |
| 575s | can't give you an ETA on it but it is |
| 577s | something literally that we are actively |
| 578s | working on what is the team's plan to |
| 580s | fix missing lore notes was documented in |
| 583s | the old forums as well as multiple bug |
| 585s | reports while it is understandable that |
| 587s | without a fixed msq lore will change |
| 590s | however it is unacceptable that |
| 592s | unobtainable or straight up missing lore |
| 594s | Pages have yet to be fixed uh I can take |
| 596s | that one um so yeah the intention is not |
| 600s | to have any unobtainable or missing uh |
| 603s | lore Pages um like the journal should be |
| 606s | completable by players uh I know that |
| 608s | for season 5 we have a lot of fixes |
| 610s | along those lines and if there are other |
| 612s | missing ones please you know use our bug |
| 614s | reporting uh tools to to report them um |
| 618s | and you know we'll prioritize them and |
| 619s | fix them but yeah like we're not leaving |
| 622s | that broken intentionally yeah we agree |
| 624s | it's unacceptable any time frame on when |
| 626s | the devs will play their first opr MCH |
| 629s | yeah I think it'll be somewhere around |
| 632s | 2021 I mean we've been playing it for |
| 635s | years so I I I I think the question is |
| 638s | saying that it's not fun or something |
| 641s | like that but I it is one of our most |
| 642s | played modes uh and we see the most |
| 644s | replayability in it um I played I think |
| 647s | two last night I think this is more a |
| 649s | question about the meta and like the |
| 651s | shift in meta like um recently it was |
| 654s | door PR previous to that b PR which is |
| 657s | still a little bit of B PR going on um |
| 659s | um so and then previous to that it was |
| 662s | just muskets muskets muskets like and |
| 664s | there's still again like some of that |
| 666s | coming back as well so well we're doing |
| 667s | adjustments with every release and I |
| 669s | think the door one is being adjusted in |
| 670s | season five if I'm not mistaken so yeah |
| 674s | uh I can assure you that the the decks |
| 677s | play the game all the time we're playing |
| 680s | opr almost every day oh goodness |
| 684s | gracious since we got crossworld opr and |
| 687s | Expeditions is there a chance we get |
| 689s | crossworld arena in the near future near |
| 693s | H uh yes there is a chance I cannot |
| 697s | guarantee near but that is definitely |
| 700s | something that's uh banging around on |
| 702s | our skulls just be clear near is not |
| 705s | season five no so like don't one please |
| 707s | don't misinterpret that no but yes uh |
| 711s | that is something that we are absolutely |
| 713s | working |
| 714s | on okay um those are all the questions I |
| 717s | got awesome well thank you for all the |
| 719s | question questions and I'm totally |
| 720s | looking forward to doing this again next |
| 722s | month um if you like us follow |
