| 0s | hello and welcome to this week's |
|---|---|
| 2s | old-school kyun a live stream |
| 4s | I'm your host smart gambit and joining |
| 5s | me on the couch this evening are Maude |
| 8s | Bruner okay Maude ash hello and on my |
| 11s | left I have Maude Kieran you're right |
| 13s | and mod G so start off with a couple |
| 18s | announcements a usual thing yesterday we |
| 21s | posted a show today |
| 24s | recently in the last hour we posted a |
| 26s | revised version of the song of the elves |
| 28s | poll blog in response to your feedback |
| 31s | we've made some changes I think mainly |
| 33s | we've removed the achievement diary |
| 35s | because you guys weren't so keen on that |
| 37s | and a couple of other things so take a |
| 40s | look exclamation marks so tour SOT II |
| 42s | will take you straight to it if you want |
| 44s | to have a look so we also released a PvP |
| 53s | blog on Monday we're going to talk more |
| 55s | about that next week after there's been |
| 57s | a chance for some feedback discussion |
| 59s | and changes I think mod rock in |
| 62s | particular would like to come on and |
| 63s | talk about some of the things that have |
| 64s | gone on there and the next one is we |
| 69s | also at the same time I think well |
| 72s | roughly the same time on Monday we |
| 74s | published an adventure paths blog where |
| 78s | we discuss some changes we'd like to |
| 79s | introduce for new players and I'm hoping |
| 82s | cure and you'll be able to clarify some |
| 84s | of the things that went on hopefully |
| 90s | like are you able to give a brief |
| 93s | overview of yeah I meant pocket so the |
| 97s | core the core think of adventure paths |
| 99s | is - it's basically a system that is |
| 104s | there to try and help new players right |
| 106s | that's the core of it please come up |
| 108s | with a tutorial I currently a large |
| 110s | proportion of them quit especially if |
| 112s | people have not played the game before |
| 113s | and we're seeing a lot of new players |
| 115s | come in due to mobile adventure paths is |
| 118s | there to try and give players some sort |
| 121s | of direction now we know all school it's |
| 125s | all about this steep learning curve |
| 127s | that's a core part of the game there's a |
| 129s | lot to explore there's huge amount of |
| 130s | choice and what you can do |
| 132s | Adventure Pass |
| 134s | aims to reduce that a little bit so that |
| 136s | you have an understanding of what should |
| 137s | I do to begin with so that could be we |
| 142s | add a path for combat which say it has |
| 146s | get five attack as a task so it's not to |
| 149s | be very specific it's about giving a |
| 151s | general direction right let's go and |
| 153s | treat attack and it will give you some |
| 155s | assistants and guidance on how you might |
| 157s | go and actually do that maybe you might |
| 159s | tell you going to go and take on the |
| 161s | goblins or the cows for example or might |
| 163s | give you Jen more general advice and to |
| 166s | help encourage players to use it they |
| 169s | get little unlocks along the way so to |
| 173s | try and get you to keep on progressing |
| 174s | and help learn and ascend the game |
| 177s | ideally they come out of this system at |
| 179s | least maybe further down the line we've |
| 181s | developed it further and have a general |
| 183s | understanding of how the game comes |
| 184s | together how it works and then they can |
| 186s | sit off on their wild adventures and do |
| 188s | whatever they want that's that's the |
| 191s | core of it okay perfect thank you I |
| 193s | there has been a lot of feedback to this |
| 196s | witch which is great I know I've seen a |
| 200s | lot of positivity which is which is good |
| 201s | even from experienced players who |
| 203s | recognized that it's not easy as a new |
| 205s | player always to know where you're going |
| 207s | straight away after joining the game but |
| 209s | equally there have been some concerns as |
| 210s | well which is normal now we always want |
| 212s | to listen to you when when you have |
| 213s | concerns I know in particular the |
| 216s | transportation suggestion was was |
| 219s | probably the hottest thing that we |
| 223s | mentioned and I'm not that surprised |
| 225s | right oh you know like one thing one |
| 228s | thing for sure is that everything in |
| 230s | there it's just an idea really right |
| 231s | just palling different things that we |
| 233s | could potentially do right adventure |
| 235s | paths is the one in development right |
| 237s | now and I think that's one that's got |
| 239s | the most potential to hopefully make a |
| 241s | difference in that area but at the core |
| 244s | of it we also want your ideas of how we |
| 247s | can help improve that early game one |
| 250s | thing that's also important to consider |
| 251s | is when we are looking at Reddit and |
| 253s | Twitter and where of our social what you |
| 255s | should have our social channel 3 what I |
| 256s | look at that |
| 258s | those are generally current players as |
| 260s | well and so to get feedback from |
| 263s | potential new players or people who've |
| 265s | tried out and just not and completely |
| 267s | quit |
| 267s | it's much |
| 268s | the regionals and as we get their |
| 269s | feedback on how the early game works so |
| 271s | that takes research and there's actually |
| 273s | a lot of effort from the research |
| 274s | department at Jagex there's a lot that |
| 276s | goes into this but the core of it is |
| 279s | we're gonna be a be testing all of this |
| 281s | so it kind of comes to adventure paths |
| 283s | we'll be testing that whichever where |
| 286s | for else we look at we'll be testing |
| 287s | that and that's to confirm we're |
| 291s | actually making a positive difference to |
| 292s | the early game and really all of this is |
| 294s | trying to contribute to having more |
| 296s | players coming into the game and a |
| 297s | healthier future for old school if it |
| 299s | doesn't work then we'll be taking out |
| 302s | that's the core of it we try to keep |
| 305s | these changes out of the way of existing |
| 307s | players where possible take for example |
| 309s | one of the simpler things we've done |
| 310s | before like when you create a new |
| 312s | account and come off tutorial Island you |
| 314s | get put in lumbridge we put you nearer |
| 317s | the lumbridge guide some months ago this |
| 321s | I think is not too much hand-holding or |
| 323s | easy scape but we were able to gather |
| 327s | data on whether people put nearer the |
| 328s | guide tended to run into it and get |
| 331s | guidance from it as opposed to people |
| 334s | who were put way back in the courtyard |
| 336s | where you previously were it's the kind |
| 339s | of thing where you know we wouldn't be |
| 341s | able to put it to a poll like should you |
| 343s | be put in here with a guide yes or no |
| 345s | because first the considerations are not |
| 348s | something that most existing players are |
| 350s | going to be running into on a daily |
| 351s | basis unless you make a lot of alts in |
| 353s | which case I mean what you're doing also |
| 360s | if we found it didn't work out for us |
| 362s | we'd want to be able to take out again |
| 364s | without leaving the other 75% to say |
| 365s | that you are okay with us reverting it |
| 367s | so we're trying to keep that kind of |
| 369s | thing out of your way as far as possible |
| 371s | sure I'd venture paths are a bit more in |
| 373s | the game than the than exactly where we |
| 376s | put you when you come off the island but |
| 379s | I hope you understand what we're trying |
| 380s | to do or why and in the case of the |
| 383s | transport system one of the other things |
| 385s | touched on in the blog was something |
| 386s | we've talked about all these streams |
| 387s | before the possibility that if |
| 390s | free-to-play have a hard time getting |
| 392s | around towns because they can't train |
| 394s | agility and run and run there what if we |
| 398s | let them train agility |
| 400s | I mean it means giving some members |
| 402s | content to free to play but they would |
| 404s | ultimately be earning the ability to |
| 406s | travel around like that the same way |
| 408s | members do only with perhaps a more |
| 412s | limited course in the free to play area |
| 414s | that got a surprising amount of support |
| 416s | on one of these streams before when we |
| 417s | straw up hold it so if you'd rather we |
| 419s | went that way rather than adding a |
| 421s | transport system we can totally think |
| 425s | more about it I got one suggestion sent |
| 427s | in from a player suggested that we just |
| 429s | don't add can do it for our canoeing and |
| 431s | add a river out to through the middle of |
| 434s | the free play area so it goes to file a |
| 436s | door I think that'll be a bit much yeah |
| 442s | I think the players who object to a pub |
| 444s | would find this more concerning yeah and |
| 449s | just before we move on from this point I |
| 451s | think regardless of what we do to try |
| 454s | and help teach players about what all |
| 456s | school is and get them introduced in the |
| 457s | game all schools old school that's the |
| 461s | game and that's the game of gear players |
| 464s | up for we're not gonna change on school |
| 466s | itself massively at all there's no |
| 469s | desire to do that at all |
| 471s | sure I think perhaps the more suspicious |
| 474s | members of our community didn't like the |
| 477s | line particularly in the blog where we |
| 478s | said we want to be able to make these |
| 480s | changes quickly or take them back if |
| 483s | necessary which requires doing them on |
| 485s | polt and I think that's always a scary |
| 487s | idea because it means putting a lot of |
| 489s | trust in us that will make the right |
| 490s | decisions yes if that is going to be the |
| 493s | case than it is on us to uphold our side |
| 495s | of our commitment to talk to you guys |
| 496s | about these changes and make sure we're |
| 498s | not stepping on toes of yeah existing |
| 501s | players our aim is not to force a change |
| 504s | into the game that makes you all quit in |
| 505s | case that's unclear however we do find |
| 508s | that if we've got to run every little |
| 511s | tweak to the new player experience past |
| 514s | a 75% survey of existing players who |
| 517s | aren't engaging in it that will really |
| 520s | have probability to improve the |
| 522s | experience for your newer recruits and |
| 525s | growing the community is generally in |
| 527s | your interests as well we hope that we |
| 530s | can find a way of doing it that doesn't |
| 533s | damage you experience I really think the |
| 535s | adventure paths are not going to |
| 538s | massively reshape how people experience |
| 540s | old school runescape after all they're |
| 543s | having guides in the newbie area the |
| 546s | tutor standing around Lumbridge that's |
| 548s | been a long-established thing for a very |
| 549s | long time guess what then all that great |
| 551s | because teaching people how to cast |
| 553s | magic through the medium of empty chat |
| 556s | boxes just isn't ideal the whole |
| 559s | situation like this right you've got the |
| 560s | tutorial right there the tutorial hand |
| 563s | holds you all the way through you have |
| 564s | an arrow pointing you need to go and do |
| 566s | and it's linear old school is literally |
| 570s | the opposite of that right you can do |
| 573s | corner anywhere you want there's very |
| 574s | little hand-holding |
| 575s | so players don't come up with the |
| 578s | tutorial very well prepared now we need |
| 581s | to make a difference that will help new |
| 584s | players understand what they're doing |
| 585s | and prepare them for that lack of |
| 587s | hand-holding experience that they that |
| 589s | we want old school to actually have |
| 591s | later in the game that's what makes it |
| 593s | unique I think got a session I think |
| 595s | from senpai scape on Twitter whether we |
| 599s | could just take the beginner diary of |
| 601s | Lillibridge area and add some hint |
| 605s | errors to it and then use it I see |
| 607s | adventure paths I do like the idea I |
| 609s | mean it's reusing something we have |
| 610s | rather than creating something new which |
| 612s | is usually great thing is we'd like this |
| 614s | one to be something existing players |
| 616s | don't have to deal with but if you don't |
| 619s | want to do their veggie paths don't |
| 620s | they're not you're not exactly missing |
| 622s | out but if we built it into the diary |
| 624s | you'd something have to do it if you |
| 626s | want to ever do the higher tier Diaries |
| 628s | and getting area wards so rather than |
| 630s | making it an obligatory piece of |
| 632s | completion content we don't like to |
| 635s | design something custom and not have it |
| 638s | stuck on patias somebody from the |
| 641s | suggestion we saw and read it as well as |
| 643s | I mean that stemmed from this initial |
| 645s | blog and that's that's really cool to |
| 648s | see actually so this is this is the |
| 651s | gossip again as we see suggests right so |
| 653s | this is so you'd had a gossip NPC added |
| 657s | to each of the core three cities like |
| 659s | rock free salad or Lumbridge and they |
| 662s | are just that they've been listening to |
| 664s | everything going on around them |
| 665s | so you can talk to them as someone who |
| 667s | can tell you about what can you do in |
| 670s | this area as a general as a general |
| 672s | topic so they can help point out certain |
| 674s | tasks things like that so I think that's |
| 677s | a little bit further down the line what |
| 679s | you sort of understand I can go to file |
| 680s | and go to varrock and what can I do here |
| 683s | I'd really like the idea and what I but |
| 686s | I also really like the community |
| 687s | actually getting involved and the |
| 688s | standing like what can we do to help |
| 690s | this problem yes a postal service is the |
| 694s | same kind of thought that I you know a |
| 697s | bit like rune mysteries take this |
| 698s | package to the dude in varrock and get |
| 702s | paid for it could send people back and |
| 705s | forth of course the transports situation |
| 707s | is not ideal at the moment okay well |
| 711s | hopefully that answers any questions or |
| 714s | concerns you guys had about the the |
| 716s | adventure path stuff we look forward to |
| 718s | continuing work with you guys and your |
| 720s | suggestions and so implementing this in |
| 722s | the best way possible I'm gonna move on |
| 726s | so what gee I think if I'm not mistaken |
| 731s | you've got some things you'd like to |
| 732s | show off some of the elves related |
| 735s | things yes sir tea or tea things and |
| 739s | I'll do it the wrong way |
| 740s | whatever so TRT things I'm gonna cool um |
| 746s | you know are you going over to the other |
| 750s | desk and a click I'm gonna click click |
| 752s | oh no well take it okay so I'm gonna |
| 760s | show you some arty things a lot of these |
| 761s | things if you follow me on Twitter at |
| 763s | Jagex G you may have already seen but if |
| 766s | you haven't I just thought I would like |
| 768s | recap what I've been doing recently so |
| 771s | first of all I'm gonna show you lord |
| 774s | kruis yeah so you guys have seen Lord |
| 776s | crisper for if you follow me on twitter |
| 778s | lord chris is one of the new house |
| 781s | leaders for the elven city he's actually |
| 784s | half elf he spent a long time disguised |
| 787s | as a tree so he's sort of half elf of |
| 789s | tree so this is what he looks like some |
| 794s | people in the chat saying hi her |
| 797s | you wish I'd like so this is what he |
| 802s | looks like and then so Lord Chris is |
| 806s | obviously a brand new model to the game |
| 808s | brand new character but he does exist in |
| 812s | rs3 i he I took some design inspiration |
| 815s | from rs3 but overall I kind of |
| 818s | reinvented him for old school because |
| 820s | the RS redesign didn't really fit so I |
| 823s | changed quite a lot of things but tried |
| 825s | to keep sort of my main core of the |
| 826s | character after that is a character who |
| 831s | you guys may have seen before which is |
| 833s | Ellen ed Ellen and obviously hangs |
| 836s | around inlet yeah I'm not sure if you |
| 839s | guys are familiar with her and I wanted |
| 843s | to |
| 844s | so we're reworking the elves Inlet here |
| 846s | just to be sort of in keeping with the |
| 847s | new elves that were introducing so |
| 849s | there's not too much disparity I hope no |
| 851s | one has to say why I think she's almost |
| 863s | indecent as well and so I wanted to |
| 868s | again keep the sort of main beats of the |
| 870s | character but make and keep her feeling |
| 873s | old-school that's so important but this |
| 875s | is the design that I came up with and |
| 877s | this sue how much I'm showing first the |
| 881s | original design that I shared on Twitter |
| 882s | so this is the original design that I |
| 884s | shared on Twitter and a lot of people |
| 886s | gave some really really great feedback |
| 888s | and I was really happy and a lot of the |
| 891s | feedback was that have course it because |
| 893s | I gave her a corset because I didn't |
| 894s | want her to be sort of bare midriff was |
| 897s | too close to her skin shade and her hair |
| 900s | could have been more voluminous of |
| 903s | course it didn't really read as a corset |
| 905s | so these are this is an Annette after |
| 907s | the changes so this is the updated model |
| 911s | after taking on everybody's feedback |
| 916s | what do you guys think you've blunted |
| 918s | her chin I have blended a chin but yeah |
| 926s | you can see the chat smile bit because |
| 928s | that improvement from the second or the |
| 930s | third |
| 931s | LOL 'nice chain which was previously a |
| 933s | best in slot stab weapon has now been |
| 935s | nerfed but I think we're probably gonna |
| 937s | be alright with that |
| 939s | speaking of Eleanor's chin |
| 942s | this was her chat head the chin it looks |
| 951s | like there isn't even any actual 3d |
| 954s | difference between the chin and the neck |
| 955s | it just all slides and a lot of you may |
| 961s | have seen this because again I posted an |
| 963s | original version and then I posted the |
| 964s | reworked version of the chat head that I |
| 967s | made which is this one |
| 970s | I think the chat heads are something |
| 972s | that people really rely on for their |
| 975s | nostalgia so one of the things that was |
| 977s | really important to me was to be able to |
| 979s | use the old rig and use all of the old |
| 982s | animations it meant that making like |
| 985s | working with the old mesh was really |
| 987s | difficult because it's kind of all over |
| 989s | the place but it was really important |
| 991s | because it had to move right I think in |
| 995s | that old-school way and fit with all the |
| 997s | other chat heads so I wasn't going to do |
| 999s | new animations and and then what else am |
| 1003s | i showing okay I'm pretty sure the next |
| 1008s | [Laughter] |
| 1010s | mod Lenny's lovely text lines that he |
| 1013s | drafted up for me to show you so the |
| 1017s | next slide is an elf that you guys have |
| 1021s | not seen yet so this is an exclusive |
| 1028s | okay so this is lady my lair she is |
| 1033s | another elven house leader that will be |
| 1036s | available to see in prifddinas part of |
| 1040s | her brief is that she sort of hasn't |
| 1041s | seen the Sun for a while so she's very |
| 1044s | white she's very pale I think the books |
| 1055s | actually genuinely darker but so I with |
| 1060s | all of the house leaders I really wanted |
| 1061s | to push the designs lady |
| 1063s | particularly tiny and petite but I |
| 1067s | wanted her to still feel quite powerful |
| 1069s | as like a house leader |
| 1070s | she's so herb-lore and like this piece |
| 1073s | like that so I gave her the sort of felt |
| 1075s | to Telegraph all of those points that is |
| 1079s | a lady my lay in our Seif anybody who |
| 1081s | knows rs3 but you can probably see that |
| 1084s | I've deviated quite far from that design |
| 1087s | just because I really wanted to keep her |
| 1090s | quite like fresh and unique and really |
| 1092s | go with the sort of brief that I had |
| 1096s | about this elf and so yeah that |
| 1099s | concludes 30 RT things with G oh my |
| 1115s | writing saying gee you're always I know |
| 1119s | for a fact you post your things on |
| 1120s | Twitter quite frequently so you always |
| 1122s | open to feedback from players are |
| 1124s | interested yes so also I'm gonna post |
| 1127s | lately my layer on Twitter immediately |
| 1130s | after this Lord kruis is already on |
| 1134s | Twitter is there a chance we're going to |
| 1136s | get a link in the chat that is a link |
| 1138s | it's exclamation mark kruis which is |
| 1141s | spelled exclamation mark a lunette so if |
| 1150s | you wanted to give G any feedback on |
| 1152s | either of those but I would love the |
| 1153s | feedback it's it's so useful people |
| 1156s | might think that I don't read it but I |
| 1157s | do and even like the smallest little |
| 1159s | suggestions like really really useful |
| 1161s | because sometimes as you saw with the |
| 1163s | Ellen ed at the start even just the |
| 1165s | smallest thoughtless changes can make a |
| 1167s | really big difference overall model so |
| 1168s | feedback me boys excellent thank you |
| 1171s | very much for saying and other people |
| 1174s | yeah and and anyone anyone who plays our |
| 1177s | game I'm gonna move on to the next part |
| 1184s | what the final announcement we have |
| 1186s | let's not leave an announcement ready |
| 1188s | the last thing before we move on to the |
| 1189s | questions which is just a brief overview |
| 1191s | of the update that you can expect |
| 1193s | tomorrow |
| 1194s | so what do we have in there and there's |
| 1197s | a lot of farming stuff is primarily a |
| 1198s | farming theand update Maz has done a lot |
| 1201s | of work on the Seed Vault based on the |
| 1203s | feedback players raised when it came out |
| 1205s | so we put those on post 67 and she's |
| 1209s | just finishing off the search feature |
| 1211s | last I saw so we've got the ability to |
| 1214s | search the Seed Vault |
| 1216s | she's implemented placeholders like the |
| 1218s | bank has so when you withdraw a stack of |
| 1221s | you seed you have a placeholder she's |
| 1225s | added saplings so that you can store |
| 1228s | those along with your seed and what's |
| 1231s | the fourth elongation oh yes yes when |
| 1235s | you in resizeable mode the Seed Vault |
| 1237s | like the bank gets bigger and fills the |
| 1241s | screen vertically so that should help a |
| 1246s | bit |
| 1246s | we've also got a couple of other farming |
| 1248s | things the elliptical and say can now |
| 1251s | hold a lot more tools so rather than |
| 1253s | just be one from the standard tools you |
| 1257s | can now have 100 rakes or dippers and |
| 1259s | secateurs and spades gardening travels |
| 1264s | I've said it in listen to magic and |
| 1268s | magic leprechaun they take what a |
| 1273s | thousand buckets of stuff so a hundred |
| 1276s | travels should be a problem for these |
| 1280s | magical creatures oaks we've come a very |
| 1282s | long way from when the theme was meant |
| 1285s | to be that they were stored in those |
| 1287s | NARAS shed in love with swamp I don't |
| 1291s | think we have really worried about that |
| 1293s | did get a redesign you know rs3 with a |
| 1296s | leprechaun theme and wouldn't dream |
| 1298s | would work anywho yeah you can give your |
| 1301s | left corns more tools except watering |
| 1303s | cans I'm afraid we weren't able to do |
| 1305s | that one because you know different cans |
| 1307s | may have different quantities of water |
| 1308s | in we can't have all that in there but |
| 1312s | your basic tools leprechauns take them |
| 1314s | off you and inspecting a farming patch |
| 1319s | if you inspect Apache currently tells |
| 1322s | you things like it's growing or it's |
| 1324s | diseased or it's dead if it's growing |
| 1326s | healthily |
| 1327s | it'll now tell you |
| 1329s | what progress it's got to I mean you |
| 1331s | could probably tell already by just |
| 1333s | looking at the model wooden saying |
| 1334s | because you can probably recognize me |
| 1336s | after all this time but it will now how |
| 1339s | you state you know three out of eight or |
| 1341s | two out of three |
| 1343s | to show you how much progress it's made |
| 1345s | for people who haven't quite worked out |
| 1347s | how to recognize the different waters |
| 1348s | yet and um the same three elements of |
| 1352s | nature you bind that to a farming patch |
| 1355s | you can then use it to inquire remotely |
| 1358s | what state things got to or you could |
| 1360s | use the geomancy spell which is I think |
| 1363s | better but some the ampersand nature |
| 1366s | should at least be able to do it while |
| 1368s | testing that mod Rock ran into an old |
| 1370s | bug where oh yeah one of the twelve |
| 1377s | grapevine grapevine patches did not work |
| 1381s | with Hammonds nature just refuse to be |
| 1382s | bound to that patch that's being fixed |
| 1384s | thanks moderate finding that one I'm not |
| 1388s | sure people use it much okay alongside |
| 1392s | the farming changes I believe we're |
| 1393s | doing some rebalancing as well following |
| 1396s | the said of my nerf that came out was it |
| 1399s | a couple of weeks ago now some players |
| 1402s | raised other things that have better XP |
| 1405s | rates than you would expect or were |
| 1407s | intended originally so I believe we're |
| 1409s | making the Arceus library books |
| 1412s | untradable so I'm not tradable unbanked |
| 1416s | so that the method of banking them |
| 1419s | through inboxes won't give you quite as |
| 1422s | good rates as it did before and water |
| 1424s | agility has been I think nerfed ten |
| 1427s | percent to make it more in line with the |
| 1429s | original polling and the third one I |
| 1431s | think not a nerf so to speak but just a |
| 1435s | rebalancing of farming contracts we have |
| 1438s | more tide available can he holler in to |
| 1441s | the streams say to describe any more |
| 1443s | details yeah absolutely |
| 1446s | Mike well if he just comes in these over |
| 1448s | your shoulder and talks down your neck |
| 1452s | oh yeah |
| 1455s | I totally loved the foot Sinclair like |
| 1461s | these little good well we welcome mod |
| 1464s | tied to the couch to explain the family |
| 1466s | contracts scaling was coming in the |
| 1468s | update tomorrow right so the contracts |
| 1471s | the current time only really take into |
| 1474s | account the difficulty of the thing you |
| 1476s | are planting but what I've done now is |
| 1478s | in there now takes into account the |
| 1482s | growth time as well so now there's a |
| 1483s | tier system so tier one would be for |
| 1487s | instance an easy contract that's now |
| 1489s | short in time length and tier five would |
| 1492s | be a long contract as well as a hard |
| 1497s | seed and the amount of seeds that you |
| 1499s | gain each contract has been scaled as |
| 1501s | well as well as the types of seeds you |
| 1504s | will be getting in the contracts as well |
| 1508s | [Laughter] |
| 1511s | that's what so with Tier one contracts |
| 1524s | you will get a minute wall you'll get |
| 1526s | six seeds ran lease between the types of |
| 1529s | seeds you will get and with a tier five |
| 1530s | contract you will get your full ten |
| 1532s | seeds which would be near enough the |
| 1534s | equivalent of what you would have got |
| 1535s | with a normal hard contract and that's |
| 1537s | how the new contracts will work |
| 1540s | excellent thank you very much thank you |
| 1544s | and well besides that I know we've got |
| 1548s | plenty of other changes if you read the |
| 1551s | other changes section hopefully you do |
| 1552s | have the the update posts there's quite |
| 1554s | a long list of smaller things in there |
| 1556s | as well oh yes as few um usability |
| 1559s | improvements while we're about it I |
| 1560s | think the most significant one is about |
| 1562s | puffer fish underwater since we're |
| 1565s | adjusting the XP to be close to the |
| 1568s | Pollard rate which is bit of a negative |
| 1570s | for people we're also addressing the |
| 1573s | lack of puffer fish why are you pointing |
| 1575s | at so if I get shot you know why anyhoo |
| 1582s | so the moment when there's a lot of |
| 1585s | players underwater there may not be |
| 1586s | enough puffer fish them to get |
| 1588s | and sure they're available in the shop |
| 1590s | but some it's kind of inconvenient so |
| 1593s | what we're doing is changing the event |
| 1597s | the availability of them to be less |
| 1598s | dependent on players we can't have new |
| 1601s | individual ones for each player but we |
| 1604s | were changing its lovely seven sets of |
| 1606s | puffer fish and which set you see is |
| 1609s | random based on just a random variable |
| 1611s | set on you so that if there's you know |
| 1614s | lots of us in there at the same time |
| 1616s | we're not all seeing the same set of |
| 1618s | puffer fish so we're not competing with |
| 1619s | each other to get the same ones it's not |
| 1622s | like completely individual but it's |
| 1625s | about some closest we're gonna be able |
| 1627s | to get for this and I think it will help |
| 1628s | since the end of the grip of the fish |
| 1630s | was well I'm gonna miss that term drama |
| 1636s | I'm sure there'll be some other drama oh |
| 1641s | and for that in fact I just started the |
| 1643s | chat people asking about theater blood |
| 1645s | updates they are tomorrow the ones I was |
| 1648s | talking about on Twitter and issues |
| 1651s | brought from their one a couple of weeks |
| 1652s | ago so two major things |
| 1655s | there's ik wondering when someone dies |
| 1657s | we tried to fix that I don't know weeks |
| 1659s | ago it didn't help |
| 1662s | we've now I turn out did more work on it |
| 1665s | and I think we've now got it so |
| 1668s | hopefully tomorrow you should see no |
| 1670s | more issues with that secondly Zappos so |
| 1674s | we made changes to the first face that |
| 1676s | was a lot faster because people thought |
| 1679s | it was boring and quite long so we made |
| 1681s | it quicker and a bit more intense but |
| 1684s | made it also a little bit more difficult |
| 1686s | to account for that so but that had an |
| 1690s | adverse effect it's especially smaller |
| 1692s | teams do as solos trios we're getting |
| 1695s | that merged quite extensively when you |
| 1697s | walked out on the poison so I've had a |
| 1701s | look at that and I've changed the |
| 1702s | numbers around a little bit and so you |
| 1705s | should find now that the damage is more |
| 1706s | what you'd expect from prior to the |
| 1709s | original update I understand it always |
| 1710s | scaled like that but people didn't know |
| 1711s | it did because that they were just on |
| 1714s | top of it so much they never saw it |
| 1716s | scaling it wasn't ever really relevant |
| 1717s | before |
| 1720s | okay I realized we were at you about |
| 1722s | halfway through the stream already and |
| 1723s | we haven't gone to the questions so I'm |
| 1724s | going to crack on our first is from |
| 1729s | actually also we saw him earlier Maude |
| 1731s | tide is on the chat I think I omitted |
| 1733s | him from the list of mods at the |
| 1734s | beginning I apologize for that the |
| 1737s | wonderful mock tide is on chat for us so |
| 1739s | if you have any questions I think at |
| 1740s | runescape in chat direct them there |
| 1742s | he'll pick them up and hopefully we'll |
| 1744s | have a chance to answer some at the end |
| 1746s | so our first question is from you I am |
| 1749s | fluffy and it's actually a suggestion I |
| 1753s | think hopefully we can bring the image |
| 1754s | up and they want to know what we think |
| 1757s | of a world filter suggestion which they |
| 1760s | posted on reddit I think this looks |
| 1762s | really nice I don't know about the |
| 1763s | feasibility of it thankfully I thought I |
| 1765s | could find thankfully I've got a dev |
| 1767s | either side of me he'll be able to tell |
| 1768s | me possible or not she'll be fine Oh |
| 1771s | excellent menu work he's never quit by |
| 1774s | the way but it's I think easier than |
| 1777s | what we did for the spell book anyway |
| 1781s | okay would we how do we feel about the |
| 1784s | filters they've chosen there I think |
| 1785s | they are maybe just examples but I've |
| 1788s | maybe have filter by region if possible |
| 1792s | or that would be my sense that would be |
| 1795s | nice |
| 1796s | so I don't think we're too word what |
| 1798s | filters they're looking for if it's an |
| 1800s | aspect of the world glass showing on |
| 1801s | that menu then we can make it filter for |
| 1804s | it Oh amazing okay so yeah it sounds |
| 1806s | like we all really like this looks like |
| 1807s | that well you guys like it too in chat |
| 1809s | so uh we all better session in mind |
| 1813s | thank you so bronze wants to know if we |
| 1818s | can get a barbarian assault pet transmog |
| 1821s | at the moment is the penance Queen I |
| 1824s | believe creatures which he could |
| 1827s | possibly the ambulatory stovepipes with |
| 1830s | the eyes what's I don't know what's with |
| 1834s | that but what Tim who developed it he |
| 1837s | just come from the souls Bane project as |
| 1838s | well which also has a whopping very big |
| 1841s | column creature with looming over you I |
| 1844s | he swears he wasn't telling the artists |
| 1846s | to keep drawing these things but there |
| 1849s | must be something about him it causes |
| 1850s | people to draw these |
| 1852s | all the creatures in Barmes are pretty |
| 1855s | cool except the quick people I think |
| 1861s | people just call it like the be a cow |
| 1864s | resembles more of a cow that it is |
| 1866s | anything else |
| 1867s | it's a penance runners I really hate you |
| 1872s | it is like it looks well kinky anyway |
| 1878s | blimey |
| 1879s | I like the Gila something they look |
| 1882s | great especially the dangly here like |
| 1884s | you say potentially cool yes honest |
| 1892s | question is from pancake and it's funny |
| 1895s | that this is oh it's come up again - I |
| 1899s | think it's your suggestion originally |
| 1900s | Kieran they're asking about dividing the |
| 1902s | graceful set effect among all of the |
| 1905s | pieces again yeah are we still keen on |
| 1908s | that idea would we like to you know are |
| 1910s | we gonna poll at anytime soon |
| 1911s | I like the idea I'm personally keen on |
| 1914s | that idea |
| 1915s | sure sticks in the butt in the next list |
| 1917s | of future polls sure maybe even the next |
| 1919s | one I want to promise anything but we |
| 1921s | can there's no reason it could be a boil |
| 1922s | before the next one sadly peak well not |
| 1925s | that sounds like we've just written a |
| 1926s | PvP blog and we'd like to develop the |
| 1928s | stuff off of it before we pull this kind |
| 1931s | of any more this kind of thing but |
| 1933s | should be good cool the same player also |
| 1937s | asks a similar similarly themed question |
| 1940s | which is how do we feel about agile |
| 1942s | armor as it existed in runescape - with |
| 1947s | graceful I don't it really has much |
| 1949s | purpose their point is because it has a |
| 1952s | much greater weight reduction than |
| 1955s | graceful in some cases it is better than |
| 1957s | the run restoration effect Fred only |
| 1960s | doesn't know agile armor was an armor |
| 1962s | that had a well really good weight |
| 1965s | reduction yeah the thing is as far as I |
| 1967s | understand as long as you're below zero |
| 1969s | a way it makes zero difference yeah so |
| 1971s | and if you're wearing a full graceful |
| 1973s | you're below zero weight generally yeah |
| 1975s | I think graceful gives something like 95 |
| 1978s | which is gonna be most years okay yeah I |
| 1981s | mean I think it looks pretty cool but |
| 1983s | it has to offer I think it was a little |
| 1986s | give up unless we made it a better |
| 1988s | stronger graceful or something like that |
| 1990s | but that's all yeah okay it's with |
| 1995s | weights for items in in Marines group |
| 1998s | they they've got granularity down to |
| 2001s | grams I don't know why that was ever |
| 2004s | deem necessary because you can't tell |
| 2007s | that it's in other words by different |
| 2009s | units occupier also respects grams |
| 2012s | kilograms ounces and pounds this is |
| 2016s | quite remarkable |
| 2019s | but yeah the granularity goes down to |
| 2021s | the gram we don't use it that much do we |
| 2025s | have any items that we're gram testing |
| 2030s | if there is might be pieces of paper for |
| 2033s | example like parchment scraps of |
| 2035s | whatever but stackable items the ones |
| 2038s | he'd look to they have zero white |
| 2040s | because when Andrew wrote the engine in |
| 2043s | the first place he and figured that you |
| 2045s | didn't want to have a stack of two |
| 2047s | billion items with a tiny weight that's |
| 2049s | puns and you know for that player with |
| 2053s | all the needles if you did have a |
| 2056s | stackable item with a weight will you |
| 2059s | get to a point where just clicking on |
| 2061s | one step of running for like two steps |
| 2062s | will just drain your energy in one one |
| 2065s | hit I'm pretty sure the formulas stopped |
| 2068s | calculating at some point okay overflows |
| 2071s | I think it's calculating your weight |
| 2073s | that's probably a match here I'll move |
| 2076s | on to our next question from lordy they |
| 2078s | want to know if demonic gorillas can be |
| 2081s | changed to no longer ignore the second |
| 2083s | hit of weapons like the DDS or the |
| 2085s | crystal halberd when you trigger the |
| 2088s | prayer change so for context imagine |
| 2092s | you're attacking you're doing a demonic |
| 2095s | guerrilla with the DDS it's not praying |
| 2097s | Mel a you use your special attack the |
| 2099s | first hit does enough damage to make it |
| 2101s | switch to melee it will then not take |
| 2103s | the damage of the second hit this player |
| 2105s | would like it to because you get the XP |
| 2107s | and it you know they think you should |
| 2110s | register how do we feel about this one |
| 2111s | is it a similar scenario to the abyssal |
| 2114s | sire |
| 2116s | not in that kind of League the size got |
| 2119s | to do a fairly complicated transition |
| 2121s | that involves going through a non-combat |
| 2122s | phase this one doesn't that said of the |
| 2127s | players arguments I got the XP so I want |
| 2129s | to do the damage we could just fix it |
| 2131s | you don't get the XP I think I think |
| 2133s | also the two hits bats will also appear |
| 2135s | which makes it maybe feel a little bit |
| 2137s | on but the second one hits us zero what |
| 2140s | is the third damage so it will show the |
| 2142s | damage but it won't remove it off the |
| 2144s | health of the demonic guerrilla yeah I'm |
| 2145s | guessing that by the time it's some |
| 2147s | executing that exchange deformities |
| 2149s | respecting something new I imagine we |
| 2151s | could find a way of doing that possibly |
| 2152s | without engine feature this do you quite |
| 2154s | soon yep that would change the landscape |
| 2157s | a bit well oh yeah okay so maybe next |
| 2164s | player across wants to know if |
| 2166s | harvesting herbs from the herb herb or |
| 2168s | hurts it or if it's more like a haircut |
| 2173s | your one chance ask this question every |
| 2176s | week and this is what would the us it |
| 2179s | makes sense it's more like a haircut |
| 2180s | because it's one of the guys question it |
| 2184s | makes sense it was mark your hair cut |
| 2186s | because herbs take our feelings |
| 2187s | strawpoll that's that's mean look we |
| 2193s | need a straw for for the filling it's |
| 2195s | the only way not read now this this will |
| 2198s | define the cannoneer that me if you are |
| 2202s | no combat pure you shouldn't it's um |
| 2204s | well you shouldn't pluck it it's like |
| 2206s | damaging it baby okay looks like more |
| 2210s | tides gonna stop that strawpoll for us |
| 2211s | in the meantime craft that's what I'm |
| 2216s | going with has a question no we looked |
| 2218s | at this one before the stream and you |
| 2220s | said it's not necessarily a good |
| 2222s | question or one of sorry I don't want to |
| 2227s | misrepresent what my G says okay so it |
| 2230s | was how a triangles on model surfaces |
| 2233s | drawn from certain camera angles or |
| 2235s | during certain animations gaps are |
| 2237s | created between them what causes this is |
| 2239s | this an overlapping issue okay so I |
| 2242s | think I think what they're trying to ask |
| 2244s | is basically |
| 2246s | potentially the fundamentals of modeling |
| 2249s | for games you model in try so literally |
| 2252s | just triangles there that's the face and |
| 2255s | then you have three points a lot of our |
| 2257s | problems sort of when you see like |
| 2259s | triangles come with like clipping if one |
| 2263s | color of surface goes through another |
| 2265s | you usually see that as like a triangle |
| 2267s | or some kind of deformed shape a lot |
| 2271s | when you see gaps through models that's |
| 2273s | probably because two of like the verts |
| 2275s | that are meant to be connected or maybe |
| 2278s | just a tiny bit apart and then through |
| 2280s | the animation they're moving away from |
| 2282s | each other yeah I think that's the best |
| 2287s | way to describe it in old school we use |
| 2289s | the faces so literally the triangles to |
| 2293s | do all of the texturing and it's not |
| 2295s | even really texturing we just colored |
| 2297s | the faces so that's what what makes our |
| 2300s | models look quite different to games |
| 2302s | that have full textures like our s3 for |
| 2303s | example so that's quite a unique feature |
| 2307s | I think not like not many games us |
| 2310s | started with poly face texturing are |
| 2312s | still going a fully face texturing I |
| 2315s | think that's a good enough answer to |
| 2317s | that question there was a rather amusing |
| 2319s | example of it back in the old days would |
| 2321s | have been likely to 2005 ish the |
| 2325s | Romanovs quest just come out where |
| 2327s | there's a woman della net and a player |
| 2330s | looked really closely at their blown-up |
| 2332s | screenshot and complained that well what |
| 2337s | how he described it what he'd identified |
| 2339s | is that there was a triangle that didn't |
| 2341s | quite match the ones around it and |
| 2342s | there's air force sticking up a bit and |
| 2344s | it was right at the end of Ellen Ed's |
| 2345s | chest and the fact of the description |
| 2348s | said the pretty self I've ever seen Wow |
| 2350s | it was not help in this matter the |
| 2353s | player felt this was a bit too adult so |
| 2356s | I don't recall whether it was ever fixed |
| 2358s | at the time when it was fixed but some |
| 2362s | it's not just her chin that's getting |
| 2364s | sorted in this update of yours alright |
| 2367s | that's good then inadvertently filming |
| 2370s | issues excellent I'm gonna move on to |
| 2374s | our next question from salty pretzel |
| 2378s | I thought it's a really good question so |
| 2380s | they asked which part of developing new |
| 2382s | content takes the longest for example |
| 2384s | out of design art coding QA or is it |
| 2388s | something else it depends on the project |
| 2390s | that it really I mean I think in the |
| 2393s | example of some of the elves it's a very |
| 2396s | graphics heavy project right oh yeah |
| 2398s | like there are so many big environments |
| 2401s | for that there are a ton of new |
| 2403s | characters yeah and so I mean what if |
| 2407s | Tunis had voted for the quest how many |
| 2410s | characters you done there I can't even |
| 2412s | count so we've done the hot the whole of |
| 2414s | Britain s reworked let yeah and those |
| 2417s | elves those are just roaming around |
| 2419s | should be able to be procedural so |
| 2422s | they're sort of you've got like out of a |
| 2424s | kit that you make you've got like |
| 2424s | infinite combinations like in LEGO |
| 2427s | pieces |
| 2428s | yeah looks like good pieces and then |
| 2429s | just like a bunch of house leaders yeah |
| 2434s | the new rebels yeah loads Isaac I think |
| 2438s | to give some perspective when did you |
| 2440s | start funding the elves January January |
| 2442s | I need fast |
| 2444s | we're not launched yet that shows you |
| 2446s | how how much time has gone into this but |
| 2450s | design |
| 2451s | I mean design for happens throughout |
| 2452s | right like I think with some of the else |
| 2455s | I'd put the concept together for like |
| 2457s | what the story in the quest is and |
| 2458s | follows it back Driftless my baton lot |
| 2462s | the thinking outside of ours as well |
| 2464s | yeah I think with stories it's really |
| 2467s | difficult to actually sit down and say |
| 2468s | right I'm gonna spend this week writing |
| 2469s | a story I mean I don't know he's in a |
| 2472s | games knows that book hasn't come out |
| 2473s | for it so like stories is difficult I |
| 2478s | mean it's not it's not the skill giver |
| 2479s | first but you know so that's difficult |
| 2483s | and generally when we come to design the |
| 2487s | actual features of an update like I |
| 2489s | think what we've done recently which |
| 2492s | we've kept us low Alliance and song of |
| 2493s | the elves we basically put some time |
| 2496s | it's like dedicated as come up with |
| 2497s | ideas for the reward content something |
| 2502s | you guys want a branded like enough |
| 2504s | light right yeah we didn't know so just |
| 2505s | for that yeah and had a massive massive |
| 2508s | list of ideas and yeah going to them |
| 2512s | voting week like you say Karen it does |
| 2515s | depend on the content though heavily so |
| 2518s | there may be for example some things |
| 2519s | where we're not using a lot of new |
| 2521s | models or even new mechanics but it |
| 2523s | might affect lots of different aspects |
| 2525s | of the game that exist already which |
| 2526s | will be in the QA team have to really |
| 2528s | thoroughly vet you know the different |
| 2530s | permutations and things that might |
| 2531s | happen so that's the example if you're |
| 2534s | going the other way I think an example |
| 2536s | of something that is heavy content low |
| 2540s | on key away from this interface is a |
| 2542s | really good example mmm like they take |
| 2545s | so long to actually put together when it |
| 2548s | comes to it to the to the actual players |
| 2549s | for buttons they have very simple |
| 2552s | behavior but actually making that happen |
| 2554s | behind the scenes you're making a button |
| 2556s | pop in pop out a hover effect when you |
| 2558s | go over it by applying a sound when you |
| 2559s | click on it maybe you're hiding and |
| 2561s | showing different parts of the interface |
| 2562s | there's so much to actually write and |
| 2565s | it's so manually scripted but your |
| 2568s | way up this is four buttons just making |
| 2570s | sure that it offers over yeah that took |
| 2572s | an hour that's already right right so |
| 2576s | when the case of when resizable mode |
| 2578s | came out we had to handle either there |
| 2580s | were multiple game frames now so that |
| 2584s | also meant taking the code for the |
| 2585s | existing one and rewrite these in a way |
| 2588s | that could apply to lots of different |
| 2590s | game frames without needing lots of |
| 2592s | checks every time we referred to an |
| 2594s | interface component C which came from |
| 2596s | you wrong and taking the existing code |
| 2599s | for fixed mode scheme frame and turning |
| 2601s | into that was a surprisingly big job at |
| 2604s | the end of which ideally you wouldn't |
| 2607s | actually notice we've done a dance thing |
| 2610s | took a while but mostly seams worked and |
| 2613s | it meant that we can now handle the |
| 2615s | world of three game frames we had at |
| 2616s | that time |
| 2616s | and the addition one we got for mobile |
| 2618s | since then all the results of our straw |
| 2624s | poll we did our in so we asked you guys |
| 2626s | when harvesting don't forget this is for |
| 2628s | canon law when harvesting a herb herb or |
| 2631s | is it more like a haircut or killing it |
| 2634s | 39% of you voted that is being killed |
| 2637s | and 61% |
| 2639s | save it as having a trim so there we go |
| 2642s | that's that's aerial I said I think the |
| 2645s | hello argument when you get one as a pet |
| 2647s | you can't just kill it can you I'm tired |
| 2651s | spelt herbivore there suggest that it |
| 2653s | even find the question interesting you |
| 2656s | spoke well it's a kind of pig boa R for |
| 2661s | the pig thing whereas Bo re suggests it |
| 2664s | just wasn't a very interesting question |
| 2665s | because Pat it wasn't alright moving on |
| 2672s | our next question is from a play called |
| 2674s | methanol and they want to know if we can |
| 2676s | reap all the defense requirement on |
| 2678s | blessed dehy traps and Van braces I |
| 2680s | remember this question is one of the |
| 2682s | things one of the later things we polled |
| 2683s | shortly before hiding poll results and I |
| 2687s | must admit part of me does want to reap |
| 2689s | all this one because I think it wasn't |
| 2693s | fully explained I think a lot of players |
| 2696s | missed the fact that equivalent well |
| 2700s | black D hai Dhoni requires one defense |
| 2702s | for the chaps and Van braces and it |
| 2704s | wouldn't be any different for blessed |
| 2706s | Eid in fact we would be making things |
| 2707s | more consistent with this change it's |
| 2710s | just a +1 prayer bonus so if no one else |
| 2715s | objects I'd kind of personally really |
| 2716s | like to reap all that one especially |
| 2718s | given without hiding ball results to get |
| 2719s | possibly a more accurate result on the |
| 2722s | change I'm genuinely curious to see what |
| 2724s | difference that makes it might be a nice |
| 2727s | use case as well for seeing how the same |
| 2730s | question it behaves before and after the |
| 2732s | hidden poor results |
| 2735s | tired of suggested we put a prayer |
| 2738s | requirement on it instead I'm sure maybe |
| 2740s | we can look at that as well alrighty so |
| 2746s | ESP asks if the official client will |
| 2748s | ever get a GPU rendering update one that |
| 2751s | we teased a while back calling it |
| 2752s | something like a year ago it was talked |
| 2754s | about so I know the situation there of |
| 2759s | all the things the engine team can be |
| 2761s | working on I'm afraid that it's not the |
| 2762s | one they're currently on what they're |
| 2765s | currently doing is more focused on well |
| 2767s | rewriting the language since it could |
| 2769s | handle data types relating to clans so |
| 2772s | that we can have more persistent groups |
| 2773s | than we currently can which would allow |
| 2776s | us to do group Ironman as well |
| 2778s | so I'm afraid no it's not so graphics |
| 2780s | update okay this guy has a suggestion |
| 2786s | which is can God's or charts be changed |
| 2789s | to drop in order similarly to the |
| 2791s | bludgeon and totem pieces I think this |
| 2793s | is an iron man who's gone dry of one |
| 2796s | piece for a long time |
| 2797s | if the I've got 24 lit past three to |
| 2800s | that one but I don't really want to |
| 2803s | change something that's been that way |
| 2804s | for a long time especially God was |
| 2806s | something that's iconic yeah okay yeah |
| 2810s | it's not something we often even do when |
| 2812s | the items are tradable well that's |
| 2815s | readable we've never had recently right |
| 2817s | because a normal player at least written |
| 2818s | Hawaiian when I'm sorry you're out |
| 2819s | normally we would just go sell the what |
| 2826s | they don't want to buy the one they do |
| 2827s | want right so okay so probably not |
| 2832s | looking to change that one I'm not keen |
| 2836s | eezol wants to know what is the thought |
| 2839s | process when when deciding whether an |
| 2841s | NPC will be aggressive or not and |
| 2844s | there's also a second part of the |
| 2845s | question which is same thing but for |
| 2848s | multi and non multi areas how do we have |
| 2852s | you decide when it comes the aggressive |
| 2855s | creature we've even thought about that |
| 2856s | much recently it's been it's quite rare |
| 2859s | that we're making a new creature that |
| 2860s | isn't designed for a very specific |
| 2861s | purpose yeah like we're making a dungeon |
| 2864s | of monsters for training on will |
| 2866s | probably mean them aggressive because |
| 2867s | that tends to be what you need in a |
| 2869s | dungeon of training monsters you make a |
| 2871s | boss tend to be aggressive he will take |
| 2873s | the mimic on the other hand you're |
| 2875s | putting down scenery in PCs like generic |
| 2879s | men and women all over a town probably |
| 2882s | wouldn't do that but if you're making |
| 2885s | like a mug or then for thematic reasons |
| 2888s | it makes sense it's being good to be |
| 2889s | aggressive and if you're going out of |
| 2891s | the built-up areas into the wild not the |
| 2895s | wilderness but a more wild area like the |
| 2897s | woods between Lumbridge and Draenor |
| 2898s | makes sense that the bear would be an |
| 2900s | aggressive creature there what's the |
| 2903s | time like if we just go to the default |
| 2904s | behavior i if it's if you can attack it |
| 2907s | generally it'll have the whole you gotta |
| 2910s | be twice the combat level thing for it |
| 2911s | not |
| 2912s | aggressive right that pretty much |
| 2914s | universally most creatures we've ever |
| 2916s | added to our dungeons and follow that |
| 2917s | rule we so to make new kinds of creature |
| 2922s | for just generic wandering around the |
| 2924s | scenery might we put down some hill |
| 2926s | giants in the west of Kerr and they're |
| 2929s | probably the same Hill Giants put down |
| 2930s | anywhere else the catacombs is an |
| 2933s | example where we've made new kinds of |
| 2935s | creature but there have made sense for |
| 2937s | things to be aggressive because it's a |
| 2938s | slayer dungeon yes there's two x plus |
| 2941s | one you're down pedants there's an |
| 2945s | interesting thing like in when you're |
| 2946s | hanging out on let here in the new |
| 2947s | soaked request you sort of like talking |
| 2950s | to the outs helping them all out and |
| 2952s | then you can slaughter their warriors |
| 2953s | mmm that feels a bit like I'm trying to |
| 2957s | you guys I mean you guys I know it's |
| 2958s | always be able to like kill the rebel |
| 2960s | warriors look it's just quite jarring |
| 2963s | there's somewhere in the game where one |
| 2966s | can talk about it a problem if I kill |
| 2969s | all your and guards so oh the training |
| 2971s | is good for them since their king or |
| 2973s | their leader whatever it is I forget |
| 2975s | which one it is |
| 2975s | at least King lathis has a training |
| 2977s | ground with them dummies in rather than |
| 2979s | encouraging people to kill his own |
| 2981s | guards so people steal from those our |
| 2986s | next question is from Tommy and it's |
| 2988s | directed for G and they want to know |
| 2992s | which game is your favorite to design |
| 2993s | for example out of empowerment NPCs |
| 2996s | items etc NPCs are my favorite to design |
| 3001s | I haven't actually if I designed a boss |
| 3003s | yet I haven't actually designed a boss |
| 3005s | yet but that would definitely be I can |
| 3007s | I'd enjoy that a lot |
| 3008s | my favorite thing that I've designed so |
| 3010s | far is probably still caring are okay |
| 3012s | I really enjoyed designing her there's a |
| 3016s | couple of elves that still haven't come |
| 3017s | out yet which I'm really happy with you |
| 3020s | will see those a good time I'll do a but |
| 3023s | at some point at some point are you |
| 3025s | interested at all in doing some scenery |
| 3026s | or environment or are you more keen on |
| 3028s | models like NPCs bosses that kind of |
| 3031s | thing so um I feel so haven't had my |
| 3033s | full environment training yet I think |
| 3036s | there's a chance that I might be working |
| 3038s | up an environment sort of running up |
| 3041s | towards the end of soaked as we are now |
| 3044s | all cooling it absolutely |
| 3048s | [Laughter] |
| 3051s | keep saying that my my sort of Forte |
| 3058s | exposes characters and love designing |
| 3060s | characters I'm really interested in |
| 3061s | characters but I will not let you down |
| 3064s | on environments Goods so if you were |
| 3070s | making a boss if any kind of species |
| 3074s | you'd like to work with because mod |
| 3076s | ghost has previously found it very |
| 3078s | frustrating dealing with things like |
| 3080s | well the abyssal sire that has so many |
| 3082s | legs that he wasn't gonna do anything |
| 3088s | with that many legs ever again and then |
| 3090s | he made vs we did the Hydra with many |
| 3094s | heads which is also just as complicated |
| 3096s | and then there's the mimic with what the |
| 3097s | heck that is |
| 3098s | I want to make smell I don't have my I |
| 3110s | spoke in a before that there was a |
| 3112s | character that I designed to be a boss |
| 3114s | for my art has to get here and I still |
| 3116s | have that character on the backburner in |
| 3118s | my brain sort of times because I'm I was |
| 3121s | quite pleased with that character she |
| 3122s | got me here so maybe if I can slip her |
| 3127s | in somewhere very happy a certain type |
| 3130s | of creature yeah she is a should I even |
| 3133s | say I don't know your secret I actually |
| 3140s | designed sort of a fiery happy and I was |
| 3146s | maybe maybe one day no I don't need to |
| 3150s | think of what mechanics we can add yeah |
| 3153s | could be a things that fly around it |
| 3155s | could be some interesting with yeah I |
| 3157s | think you've done well are those |
| 3160s | supposed mod ghost might be looking back |
| 3162s | up to the easier days of Zora with no |
| 3165s | legs nice one last question before I |
| 3170s | move on to the chat questions comes from |
| 3172s | Byron and they asked if the champions |
| 3175s | cape can see a stat boost to make it |
| 3178s | worth wearing |
| 3179s | during combat currently it's only a |
| 3182s | cosmetic cape but requires a lot of |
| 3184s | effort to attain how we feel about this |
| 3188s | I'm finally just being a cosmetic cape |
| 3190s | that's the point of it okay as soon as |
| 3192s | you make something useful people want to |
| 3194s | get it even though it's never meant to |
| 3196s | be I don't want people to want it but |
| 3199s | yes we thought what people they go and |
| 3201s | spread I was doing five thousand kill |
| 3205s | drop rate things hmm |
| 3207s | for like how many creatures eleven |
| 3208s | twelve yeah yeah I've done quite a few |
| 3210s | of them my main is literally just |
| 3212s | sitting there with a cannon for a few |
| 3214s | hours open for the best okay do we feel |
| 3218s | the same way about the raids cosmetic |
| 3222s | capes it's the same thing right that I |
| 3225s | mean the capes of that to show off that |
| 3228s | you're someone who's just been dedicated |
| 3230s | of doing raids and you've got an insane |
| 3232s | number of rage then yeah it's cool but |
| 3235s | that's all it's fall well I guess the |
| 3237s | point is if because they don't compare |
| 3239s | to the fire cape or the inferno cape |
| 3241s | they're not people aren't wearing them |
| 3244s | to show off those achievements what if |
| 3246s | and maybe this will get destroyed in |
| 3248s | chat I expect it to but what if you |
| 3250s | could use the fire cape or the verbal |
| 3251s | cape on your cosmetic cape to give you |
| 3255s | the equivalent stats if you're gonna |
| 3258s | have the stats on the thing I'd like |
| 3260s | that to be reflected in how it looks |
| 3262s | rather than you see somebody coming with |
| 3264s | this cape you don't know whether they're |
| 3265s | wearing combat gear or not the way allow |
| 3269s | it in PvP for sure the way it works |
| 3272s | quite well is the max kicks right |
| 3274s | because we actually have a scope to |
| 3277s | color the cape rope really and tie in |
| 3281s | the fire cape like and they final keeps |
| 3283s | moving texture onto it so they work and |
| 3288s | I feel like trying to expand that to |
| 3290s | basically any other reward cape that's |
| 3292s | cosmetic would be Gill open a massive |
| 3295s | jar of worms because it's not the new |
| 3297s | he'd just say you're right you use if I |
| 3299s | came on it half the fight gets that's |
| 3300s | that's a lot it's a lot of work as well |
| 3302s | without adding the complication or |
| 3305s | whatever people even wonder sure it is |
| 3307s | potentially a slippery slope as well I |
| 3308s | think |
| 3310s | okay that's fair enough so I'll move on |
| 3312s | to the chat questions I appreciate we're |
| 3314s | right at the end of the stream |
| 3316s | astronaut's wants to know what's going |
| 3318s | to happen to their nightmare zone points |
| 3320s | if boarding passes |
| 3321s | there wasn't know if they've wasted |
| 3322s | their time in viewing all of their rings |
| 3324s | and slayer helms yeah so question |
| 3327s | currently a lot of works been done to |
| 3329s | work through all of the feedback from |
| 3331s | the last warning design that is being |
| 3333s | act like that's being actively worked on |
| 3335s | for the last few weeks there's a lot of |
| 3336s | it and there's a lot of it we know there |
| 3338s | was heavy feedback nightmare zone is one |
| 3341s | part of it we know it was controversial |
| 3342s | doing anything with the Rings if we do |
| 3345s | come to a poor I think the current the |
| 3347s | current expectation is anything |
| 3348s | nightmares aren't changing with the |
| 3350s | Rings and it's a separate poll question |
| 3352s | so you'd have full control over that |
| 3354s | fair I know that the approach with some |
| 3358s | of the elves initially was well we made |
| 3362s | it so that the crystalline views that we |
| 3363s | wanted to move to prifddinas we wouldn't |
| 3367s | punish anyone who had already achieved |
| 3369s | them and just have it as a thing going |
| 3372s | forward but I believe in the revised |
| 3375s | version that design has changed now |
| 3377s | anyway so if you're interested in what |
| 3380s | that looks like exclamation marks soaped |
| 3382s | sot 'i will take you straight to that |
| 3384s | bowl blog and you can you can read it |
| 3386s | there I'll move on to our next question |
| 3390s | from BIOS attic they want to know if we |
| 3394s | would consider repairing your cannon |
| 3396s | giving you some experience just a little |
| 3398s | bit that would make sense it would be |
| 3400s | why why I experienced crafting would it |
| 3405s | be smithing construction yeah there's |
| 3409s | two cases here right that one three |
| 3412s | right now where does nothing there's a |
| 3415s | case where you give too much XP and |
| 3418s | everyone training any skills as a kind |
| 3420s | of kneel I'm waiting for a needing |
| 3421s | repair so they train fletching they kind |
| 3423s | of just have set the bank and they're |
| 3424s | waiting to go over and get that extra XP |
| 3426s | or it's so negligible what was the point |
| 3429s | of having it yeah so I think it raises |
| 3431s | an interesting question about token X |
| 3433s | because there are other instances in the |
| 3435s | game where we have token xp I suppose |
| 3436s | you'd argue you'd question what is the |
| 3438s | purpose of that then I mean don't get me |
| 3441s | wrong it's there to see |
| 3442s | use that skill to do it really firmly to |
| 3446s | our requirement especially right sure |
| 3448s | it cannot has no requirements so |
| 3451s | feasibly yes you could argue it uses |
| 3454s | smithing and also there's no harm in |
| 3456s | adding one XP drop I like that but is it |
| 3459s | worth it's going to that file and |
| 3460s | changing it right now okay so perhaps it |
| 3466s | was but I'm sure we can find something |
| 3469s | else to be doing sure all meet Greg |
| 3474s | wants to know if a barrows pet is on the |
| 3478s | horizon at all could it be something |
| 3479s | that can be put into the game in future |
| 3481s | barrows pets I've always wanted to do I |
| 3484s | like it although I think we might save |
| 3487s | that 1/3 of barrows activity is dropping |
| 3489s | we need to add a buff to bring people |
| 3490s | back to it rather than just doing it for |
| 3493s | the sheer cosmetic joy what would this |
| 3496s | look like a mini version of the brothers |
| 3497s | that you can transition them suggestions |
| 3500s | have come up including a walking chest |
| 3505s | copyrights the little walking pink dude |
| 3509s | seems like the approach ride it I'd |
| 3511s | prefer the thing is it's been one that |
| 3513s | this is there always be more |
| 3515s | controverting a Barris pet I think that |
| 3517s | becomes because the I do a lot more |
| 3519s | people doing barrows he's a lot more |
| 3520s | variance coming into the game sure which |
| 3523s | is a concern to be honest |
| 3526s | and they becomes less of a money making |
| 3527s | method because everyone's doing it |
| 3529s | mm-hmm yep okay |
| 3531s | or just a wheelbarrow a little trend |
| 3534s | lean back oh yes I like that Waypoint my |
| 3537s | barrows bathroom yeah Matthew |
| 3542s | McConaughey wants to know if we can show |
| 3545s | ping in the next of the world in the |
| 3548s | world switcher is that something that's |
| 3550s | feasible the energy wasn't able to offer |
| 3554s | it back when the old school was newer |
| 3555s | could be that if they able to give us |
| 3557s | well they're giving a lot more support |
| 3559s | than they were in those days that's how |
| 3561s | we have a mobile version for example |
| 3563s | hopefully this is something they can |
| 3565s | offer in future as well also the world |
| 3569s | switcher the one on the login screen you |
| 3572s | know it's not a very nice user |
| 3574s | experience but I haven't hover over it |
| 3575s | and see that |
| 3576s | tips he can't see the themes otherwise |
| 3579s | they're doing some work to let us as |
| 3583s | content developers edit the login screen |
| 3585s | in future rather than anything involved |
| 3587s | the login screen having to be more |
| 3588s | engine work because yeah and you work |
| 3591s | hard to get if they can do a bigger job |
| 3594s | now that lets us edit it ourselves |
| 3596s | without going to them for every change |
| 3598s | that would be quite helpful in the |
| 3600s | future and it means we'd be able to have |
| 3602s | not just a more usable interface than |
| 3605s | the current kind of patchwork thing the |
| 3607s | tooltips but we could add things like a |
| 3611s | favourites it's something to store your |
| 3614s | favorites I think that'd be quite |
| 3616s | helpful especially yes the one that your |
| 3619s | client loads may not be the one you want |
| 3621s | it to be okay well thank you very much |
| 3626s | that Ash I realized that so I went on a |
| 3628s | bit means that that brings just a little |
| 3630s | bit over time so I'm gonna wrap things |
