| 3s | hello hello hello everyone it has been a |
|---|---|
| 7s | hot minute since we had one of these |
| 9s | hasn't it welcome to today's live stream |
| 12s | um before we get started we might as |
| 14s | well just address the elephant in the |
| 16s | room where where have we been what we |
| 19s | been doing where's live streams gone uh |
| 21s | because it's been a while since the last |
| 22s | Q&A and we've seen loads of you asking |
| 25s | uh on socials what's going on QA is gone |
| 28s | forever are we hiding away in the |
| 29s | shadows |
| 31s | I'm happy to say no uh live streams are |
| 33s | not going anywhere at all uh we had some |
| 36s | changes within our production team |
| 37s | meaning we had to focus our limited |
| 39s | resources elsewhere uh Discord stages |
| 42s | for example uh and until we were able to |
| 44s | get that back on track uh we we decided |
| 48s | to stick there and and F us efforts |
| 50s | there so we could stream again when we |
| 52s | were ready and we are now so we are back |
| 54s | at last uh we we are very sorry it's |
| 57s | been so long and most importantly we're |
| 59s | hoping to continue with more regular |
| 62s | live streams again that being said make |

| 209s | our Discord stages that we mentioned |
| 211s | previously and chat with other scapers |
| 213s | join our Discord server it's going |
| 215s | through so many improvements over the |
| 217s | last year there's so much to do in there |
| 219s | now so many new spaces and and people to |
| 221s | talk to so just just jump in it's a |
| 223s | great great little place all right I |
| 226s | think with that out the way we should |
| 227s | just crack on with the Q&A uh we've got |
| 230s | lots of lots of questions uh that we |
| 233s | picked up from you all over the last |
| 235s | couple of days um so I think we should |
| 238s | start with something simple for those |
| 240s | who aren't aware or haven't read the |
| 242s | blog what are the Royal |
| 245s | Titans yeah so it's a so it's a dual |
| 250s | boss comeback that features two giants |
| 252s | know the fire queen and the Ice King and |
| 255s | you know those spot can be soloed all by |
| 258s | a group of players but it's a du boss so |
| 260s | so when there's a group of player in the |
| 263s | boss fight there only the top two |
| 265s | players will be able to get reward there |
| 267s | and so like the SC was teaching the pr |
| 271s | prer switching and perilous moon was |
| 274s | focusing on teaching the movement so |
| 276s | gear switching is the focus here for |
| 279s | what we want to teach the |
| 281s | player so we think this not aim is to |
| 284s | you know further complet the skill set |
| 286s | that's needed for know high level |
| 288s | comeback |
| 290s | here when you say that uh da on what |
| 293s | kind of player should be the most |
| 295s | excited for the dis release like who's |
| 296s | it aimed |
| 297s | for yeah so kind L the aim for our |
| 301s | Target player would be around level 90 |
| 304s | to level 110 so for the comeback level |
| 307s | and you know it's also the reward is |
| 308s | also designed to help that can give |
| 311s | those player help when they are facing |
| 313s | some more tough content later you know |
| 315s | like |
| 318s | Z awesome stuff I'm just going to |
| 320s | mention something in the chat yeah I |
| 322s | believe it was Moder for the art and it |
| 324s | is fantastic art I must say the she |
| 327s | always smashes out all the concept art |
| 329s | she been doing excellent stuff so if you |
| 332s | guys feel like I'm going to I might jump |
| 334s | in a little bit just cuz I'm I'm |
| 336s | intrigued |
| 338s | um you two are bringing Scaris to life |
| 341s | recently have how's that affected your |
| 344s | progress in development for for bringing |
| 346s | the Royal Titans to life have you taken |
| 347s | any learnings from |
| 351s | that yep so yeah we we we have a lot of |
| 354s | learning from Scaris you know how to |
| 356s | tweaking and refining the difficulty of |
| 359s | the comeback know the balancing for the |
| 361s | reward and the loot of the of the boss |
| 364s | and of course you know the Royal Titans |
| 365s | it has a different focus on the design |
| 368s | you know and also it's a step up in |
| 370s | terms of the difficulty and complexity |
| 373s | but I I think the experience and the |
| 376s | learning from SK definitely help us you |
| 377s | know to get it better balancing in here |
| 380s | and also we hope we can make the |
| 382s | experience smoothly enough for our |
| 384s | Target |
| 386s | players awesome stuff awesome uh so with |
| 390s | gear switching then being the focus here |
| 392s | how have you approached designing fight |
| 394s | to teach people this fundamental pvm |
| 396s | skill in a way that feels organic |
| 397s | because I feel like you guys did that |
| 398s | with scaras and press switching really |
| 401s | really |
| 402s | well yeah um well scaras the the use of |
| 406s | movement I think was quite important |
| 408s | where we kind of never Blocked It Off |
| 409s | from being attacked which makes it more |
| 411s | fun because then you're you know you can |
| 413s | always do DPS which is enjoyable so I |
| 415s | think we want to have that type of |
| 416s | approach with these two bosses as well |
| 418s | where you know then you're not waiting |
| 420s | for them to walk 10 seconds over to |
| 423s | somewhere else you know you can always |
| 425s | engage with them always do DPS and just |
| 427s | you know maximize how well you're using |
| 430s | your gear um and yeah hopefully |
| 432s | encourage people to use different styles |
| 434s | throughout the fight don't to give away |
| 436s | too much but um yeah it should be it |
| 438s | should be quite fun for for players to |
| 440s | engage in and hopefully with a with a |
| 441s | friend if they want |
| 444s | to hopefully hopefully this is an MMO |
| 447s | after all I mean rcap's a little bit |
| 449s | different than in that so I and we've |
| 451s | got a lot of players that like to play |
| 452s | solo but yeah um I'm going to ask off |
| 456s | the cuff question again for you guys |
| 458s | giant bosses have been a thing that |
| 460s | people wanted alongside obor and Bight |
| 463s | for ages do you feel like there's an |
| 465s | element of pressure there on you guys to |
| 467s | to to deliver something the players |
| 469s | want I think probably yeah but I think |
| 472s | we we did a good job with scaras players |
| 474s | seem to enjoy that so hopefully we can |
| 476s | you know return the same with with these |
| 478s | two giant bosses and give them some fun |
| 481s | mechanics that don't involve a key |
| 484s | system yeah yeah that is probably one of |
| 487s | the biggest pieces uh feedback we've |
| 489s | seen over the many many years about the |
| 493s | giant bosses keys and everything else |
| 495s | which probably touch on at a later date |
| 496s | probably not going to touch on it now uh |
| 498s | but yeah I mean again you guys did a |
| 500s | fantastic job with scaras from a you |
| 502s | know personal very biased standpoint |
| 504s | someone who's doing the game jown |
| 506s | project you know you smash it out of the |
| 507s | park so all right uh do you expect we'll |
| 511s | see more mid game bosses after the Royal |
| 514s | Titans are there you still think there |
| 515s | were more gaps to fill or are we hitting |
| 518s | our limit for the time |
| 520s | being well as mentioned you know we have |
| 522s | the scaries for training the preious |
| 525s | switch for the mid level player and then |
| 528s | perilous Moons for the movement and now |
| 530s | the Royal Titans is on the gear |
| 532s | switching you know I think there could |
| 534s | be some room for more you know useful |
| 536s | and interesting rewards there for the |
| 539s | midlife play player and also maybe some |
| 541s | group style content that we can add |
| 543s | there but I think generally to see we |
| 545s | are pretty happy for how things has been |
| 548s | line up on |
| 550s | enough awesome stuff yeah good answer |
| 553s | those on thank you uh don't forget to |
| 555s | ask your questions in chat by the way |
| 556s | guys we you know the people behind the |
| 558s | scenes will be pulling them for us uh |
| 560s | and if we can get round to them we will |
| 561s | be answering your questions on Royal |
| 563s | Titans I must I might add uh considering |
| 566s | this is what the stream is all about um |
| 570s | so yeah so while it's tough to make |
| 573s | comparisons if you guys absolutely had |
| 576s | to compare the Royal Titans difficulty |
| 578s | to another boss where would you sort of |
| 580s | slot uh these these two |
| 584s | giants uh I would say you know we we've |
| 587s | been last working on scares so as kind |
| 589s | of one of the Benchmark we've been |
| 591s | looking at you know of course we know |
| 593s | this is like difficulty complexity wise |
| 595s | it's it's a step up from there but it's |
| 597s | always a reference we looking at what's |
| 600s | the scare is looking like and how we can |
| 602s | add more complexity and difficulty from |
| 604s | there but not too far away |
| 608s | know yeah do you guys feel like that |
| 610s | that natural progression is there and I |
| 613s | suppose we slowly filling that void of |
| 616s | more natural progression rather than |
| 617s | these big jumps that we can see in in |
| 619s | certain elements of the players |
| 622s | Journey yeah I guess it's you know |
| 624s | scarious and then you know perilous Moon |
| 627s | you know fight cave and then probably |
| 628s | Royal Titans something |
| 632s | progress awesome awesome stuff yeah I |
| 635s | can't wait to see I can't wait to see |
| 636s | new accounts when whenever these like |
| 638s | mid game bosses come in I always am |
| 641s | intrigued to see like what that |
| 643s | progression people actually take like I |
| 645s | know that we have the sort of |
| 647s | mindset uh sort of mapped out when we |
| 650s | when we're thinking about these but it's |
| 652s | so interesting to see it actually in |
| 653s | play um because I didn't think Scaris |
| 656s | would be like Scaris is a great boss but |
| 657s | I didn't think he would be so integral |
| 658s | to so many people people's Journeys and |
| 661s | it's great that it has so I feel like |
| 662s | this might also do the same sort of |
| 664s | thing um so another question then which |
| 667s | is quite a big one being a Duo boss |
| 671s | could you explain more on why you're |
| 673s | targeting a Duo scale for the Royal |
| 675s | Titans it's not really something we've |
| 676s | done |
| 678s | before yeah exactly yeah you know but I |
| 680s | think back to when we having the p and |
| 683s | idea you know we have the hero the M Str |
| 686s | so it feels like Fire and Ice Str is you |
| 689s | know it's like nature next step for a |
| 691s | new giant boss and then we thinking you |
| 694s | know some have this idea to present this |
| 696s | see why not we have both of them |
| 698s | together you know it feels like ice and |
| 701s | fire to fit in one like do ball together |
| 704s | would be quite pretty cool and you know |
| 706s | the whole team is very exciting for this |
| 708s | two boss idea and you know but like I |
| 711s | said it is some it's not something we've |
| 713s | done before so it's a very interesting |
| 715s | challenge you know Mak makes us both be |
| 718s | very exciting to work on |
| 721s | I feel like Fire and Ice always that |
| 723s | sort of goto over any media they sort of |
| 726s | become weirdly interl over so many |
| 728s | things I'm thinking of like banjo kazui |
| 731s | or banjo tu's little Jewel worlds has |
| 734s | the Fire and Ice so many elements I |
| 735s | think it's such a natural fit not just |
| 737s | for the remaining Giants in game but |
| 739s | also generally that sort of like mixture |
| 741s | of the two that's just happened over Pop |
| 744s | Pop Culture I suppose um all right |
| 747s | speaking of the sort of Duos then some |
| 749s | plays feel as solos being tougher than |
| 751s | Jers makes it tougher to engage with as |
| 754s | this is learning content the team open |
| 756s | to changes that might reduce the Gap |
| 758s | while still feeling rewarding uh doing a |
| 761s | jro |
| 762s | encounter I think I can make those |
| 765s | player warri be a bit reliev you know |
| 767s | because the fight when we Design This |
| 769s | boss fight we actually is designed with |
| 771s | solo player in mind you know it |
| 773s | shouldn't be a massive jump in |
| 775s | difficulty you know when when you have |
| 777s | solo player compared to you have like |
| 779s | two player two player or like proof |
| 781s | player but of course you know grouping |
| 783s | up with your friend with always helping |
| 785s | on combat but it shouldn't be too |
| 787s | difficult when you have |
| 791s | solo awesome I mean I have no doubt |
| 793s | players here are going to be able to |
| 795s | take on any content solo if they try |
| 798s | hard enough we've seen how time and time |
| 800s | again achievements that might be a bit |
| 803s | farfetched they seemingly snap up within |
| 805s | a couple of weeks so I I I don't doubt |
| 808s | everyone's skills at home to be able to |
| 810s | to to crack out some solo uh solo kills |
| 814s | um speaking of solo kills we should |
| 816s | probably talk about the Iron Men in the |
| 818s | room how will irons be able to engage |
| 821s | with the Royal Titans if they stand |
| 822s | alone will they be punished for |
| 825s | duoing yeah so we kind of went back and |
| 828s | forth about this we saw a lot of |
| 829s | feedback saying irons would like to play |
| 832s | with a friend if possible for this so |
| 834s | yeah we're leaning towards that so if |
| 836s | you've you know if you're an iron and |
| 838s | you've got a Nubia friend that's just |
| 840s | started the game you may take them there |
| 842s | and yeah you will you will be able to |
| 844s | get loot when participating with |
| 848s | them awesome stuff there you go there |
| 850s | you go oh just add thing is like we know |
| 854s | we want to have you know at least their |
| 856s | iron need they need to reach some like |
| 858s | minimum contribution so you know not |
| 860s | just standing there and lying on the |
| 862s | player to help them you know you have to |
| 864s | be reaching some certain portion of the |
| 867s | damage to be able to claim the reward |
| 869s | there |
| 871s | yeah we're not cutting you off |
| 872s | completely you know you can still have |
| 873s | friends just you know you probably need |
| 875s | friends at this point not just sit there |
| 877s | and and take all the glory you know you |
| 879s | chose you chose your path but we at |
| 881s | least want to make it a little bit nicer |
| 882s | for you you know um all right next |
| 886s | question then is in the blog a sacrifice |
| 889s | mechanic for an extra role at the pet |
| 892s | was mentioned what made you choose a |
| 894s | system like AAA as opposed to a more |
| 896s | traditional |
| 898s | approach uh we saw how well received it |
| 901s | was for aaor and it is just such a cool |
| 904s | system it works really well because for |
| 907s | obviously this is for players that are |
| 910s | not maxed and we know that players that |
| 912s | are maxed look for things to do and |
| 914s | that's typically hunt pets so if we can |
| 917s | give them a nicer way of getting the pet |
| 920s | without you know kind of destroying the |
| 921s | economy in terms of the unique rewards |
| 923s | from the boss then a system like a aaor |
| 926s | seems really good uh and that's why we |
| 928s | kind of pushed forward with that because |
| 930s | it's just it lets you play how you want |
| 932s | um and and it works just really well for |
| 935s | all parties |
| 937s | involved agreed agreed I don't know if |
| 939s | both of you agree but I definitely see |
| 942s | uh definitely an element of uh I I think |
| 945s | it's good if we keep this new system in |
| 947s | mind with araxa because it is a |
| 949s | fantastic system I think but I would |
| 952s | definitely prefer us to stay away from |
| 954s | older content adopting that system cuz I |
| 956s | feel like that Prestige is already there |
| 957s | I don't know if you agree or disagree |
| 959s | but I feel like that those pets are |
| 961s | there and they have their Staples now |
| 962s | you know so I feel like they are they |
| 964s | need to be there but new content I think |
| 965s | is think is |
| 967s | great um all right next question then is |
| 970s | what tier of clue scroll might players |
| 972s | expect to see here we've seen a handful |
| 974s | of suggestions for sacrificing providing |
| 976s | a healthy chance of an elite clue scroll |
| 979s | is this something you'd |
| 981s | consider well uh I think the currently |
| 984s | the plan is to have the hard and Elite |
| 986s | clue scr there as part of the the drop |
| 989s | table |
| 990s | and you know unfortunately with the |
| 992s | current design we didn't plan to have |
| 994s | the sacrifice for them only for the |
| 1000s | pat awesome awesome thank you daong all |
| 1004s | right uh next question then something |
| 1007s | that's missing from the araxa style |
| 1009s | going back to the sort of araxa |
| 1010s | comparison of looting is the iconic loot |
| 1013s | beam do you think there's a way you |
| 1014s | could capture the same instant |
| 1015s | excitement with a system like |
| 1018s | this so the way we're looking to develop |
| 1021s | it won't probably have that loot beam |
| 1024s | but because you can loot it with a |
| 1027s | friend both of you will have the same |
| 1029s | chance to get the pet so it's not |
| 1031s | inefficient to play with a friend um and |
| 1034s | then both of you can loot you know at |
| 1035s | the same time you can see what you're |
| 1037s | going to get at the same time so |
| 1038s | hopefully there'll be some excitement |
| 1040s | about that you can kind of choose when |
| 1041s | you're looting the boss but just make |
| 1043s | sure if your friend's looting the boss |
| 1045s | you loot the boss within a certain |
| 1046s | amount of time because otherwise it |
| 1047s | respawns and then you can't loot it |
| 1049s | anymore |
| 1052s | y yeah indeed thank you very much all |
| 1055s | right should we uh should we come away |
| 1057s | from the design and gameplay for a |
| 1059s | little bit and should we talk about of |
| 1061s | course the juicy rewards that are up up |
| 1065s | available um we should start off with |
| 1067s | the twinflame staff for those who aren't |
| 1070s | familiar what is it what's it good at |
| 1072s | who's it |
| 1074s | for yeah um so twinflame staff um it's |
| 1078s | it's a staff and it's a slower staff I |
| 1081s | know I did talk about this briefly when |
| 1083s | I uh in the summit when I talked about |
| 1085s | what uh reward I wanted to see and I |
| 1088s | said a uh a slow hard-hitting staff and |
| 1091s | everyone in the twitch chat commented uh |
| 1093s | that's what the volatile nightmare staff |
| 1095s | is but no this is what I meant I I |
| 1097s | didn't explain it well in the Stream so |
| 1099s | completely fair enough for uh for the |
| 1102s | the chat to say what they did um but |
| 1104s | yeah no it's a slow slow stuff uh it uh |
| 1107s | boosts Elemental spells uh you know like |
| 1110s | any um Elemental staff would do sorry |
| 1113s | yeah it it it um it does extra damage um |
| 1119s | if you've got like a to of fire against |
| 1120s | something with a WTH weakness you know |
| 1122s | all all of that good stuff it shoots two |
| 1124s | spells the first one goes as normal as a |
| 1127s | normal spell would go and then the |
| 1129s | second spell will do 40% uh of your max |
| 1131s | it damage so that's why it's slower but |
| 1134s | it hits a bit more uh and the reason we |
| 1136s | kind of wanted this stff was just to |
| 1138s | bridge the gap between the harmonized |
| 1141s | orb uh and the like smoke battle stuff |
| 1144s | because people don't really use |
| 1146s | Elemental spells uh maybe a big reason |
| 1149s | of that is because of the pages are |
| 1151s | quite difficult to get right um but yeah |
| 1154s | also the smoke battle staff isn't that |
| 1155s | great so hopefully this is uh a nice |
| 1158s | Middle Ground between them and it will |
| 1160s | actually encourage people to use uh Mage |
| 1162s | more often whenever they're going to uh |
| 1164s | to do you know pvm or or PK or |
| 1167s | whatever yeah again Moder hit him with |
| 1170s | the the Fantastic concept art again so |
| 1173s | the stuff really does look super sick |
| 1176s | and I can't wait to get that on on both |
| 1178s | my main and my gim I'm not going to lie |
| 1180s | um so in terms of that sort of like |
| 1182s | magic progression that you touched on M |
| 1184s | were there any other gaps in in Magic |
| 1187s | specifically in that progression |
| 1188s | considered for reward ideas that might |
| 1190s | have been sheld um we know for example |
| 1193s | some players suggested that the gap |
| 1195s | between the sanguinesti staff and tumin |
| 1197s | Shadow might also benefit from aural |
| 1199s | reward was was any thought given to any |
| 1200s | of |
| 1201s | that yeah I think we considered stuff |
| 1204s | like that but at the same time this is |
| 1206s | kind of a midgame piece of content you |
| 1208s | know uh for for people that have you |
| 1210s | know maybe just done their fire cape and |
| 1211s | they're looking to learn how to gear |
| 1213s | switch so this felt more appropriate to |
| 1216s | come like this reward felt more |
| 1218s | appropriate than the gap between Aang |
| 1220s | staff and tum and Shadow I'd say that's |
| 1222s | quite like high tier and I don't think |
| 1225s | it would feel right for that drop to |
| 1226s | come from this piece of content so |
| 1228s | that's why we've gone for for this uh |
| 1233s | instead awesome awesome stuff uh |
| 1236s | speaking of like this drop are there any |
| 1238s | funky drop mechanics with the twin uh |
| 1240s | flame staff like Skilling requirements |
| 1241s | to put it |
| 1243s | together so currently not not uh not |
| 1247s | considered that not thought about that |
| 1249s | too much as it is relatively early |
| 1251s | stages um I I don't think we'd need a |
| 1254s | necessarily high level in order to do |
| 1256s | that but they will be tradable so it's |
| 1258s | not like some other pieces of content |
| 1260s | where you get an untradeable piece from |
| 1262s | um eldri for example and then you have |
| 1264s | to go to BR and and go get the other one |
| 1266s | in order to sell the stuff you can just |
| 1268s | get one piece and then go buy the other |
| 1270s | one if you want to or or just yeah you |
| 1272s | can do what what you want with it so |
| 1274s | you're not locked into doing some |
| 1275s | Skilling grinds to be able to profit |
| 1276s | from the unique that you |
| 1280s | get nice nice very nice um yeah I think |
| 1284s | I think that's cool the fact we're |
| 1286s | offering that as a tradeable one cuz the |
| 1287s | you know it's a cool weapon want people |
| 1289s | to have it you know it's a cool very |
| 1291s | especially looking at the design I just |
| 1292s | want to walk around with that all day um |
| 1295s | all right we'll move on for the for the |
| 1297s | star for a bit and talk about uh another |
| 1299s | lot of uh rewards from this these bosses |
| 1304s | let's talk prayer Scrolls what are |
| 1306s | Mystic Vigor and deadi ey and who are |
| 1308s | they |
| 1309s | for yeah so I'd say these are some mid |
| 1312s | tier um Scrolls that can be used that |
| 1315s | will augment uh your uh Eagle ey and |
| 1320s | Mystic might I want to say if I remember |
| 1322s | correctly uh so it will just make those |
| 1324s | prayers basically stronger and obviously |
| 1326s | we'll have a higher requirement um but |
| 1328s | it Bridges the gap which is quite a |
| 1331s | significant Gap right now between Eagle |
| 1333s | Eye and riger and Mystic might and a uh |
| 1336s | obviously if you think about a player's |
| 1338s | Journey you get uh 45 prayer very early |
| 1343s | on and then if you think about doing |
| 1345s | chambers of airich that is so far down |
| 1348s | in your kind of progression so hopefully |
| 1350s | this will sit in a nice place where you |
| 1352s | can work towards it then you can go do |
| 1354s | like maybe corrupted Gauntlet um or Zora |
| 1357s | or content like that with a bit more |
| 1360s | damage um that you can get from these |
| 1366s | prayers awesome awesome stuff all right |
| 1368s | so |
| 1370s | so why did you decide to make the prayer |
| 1374s | Scrolls on tradeable as opposed to the |
| 1375s | Arcane or dextrous prayer |
| 1377s | Scrolls yeah so um if we made them |
| 1380s | tradeable obviously right now you've got |
| 1384s | um yeah dextrous and the Arcane press we |
| 1388s | don't want to devalue those by just |
| 1391s | offering a a relatively cheap |
| 1392s | alternative especially for augre you |
| 1394s | know so this feels like a if you want to |
| 1397s | if you want to unlock these you can go |
| 1398s | do these content if you're just a main |
| 1400s | then you're probably better off just |
| 1402s | leveling your prayer hire and then just |
| 1404s | buying the the prayer Scrolls uh so it |
| 1406s | gives people options on what they want |
| 1408s | to do um and yeah it should it should |
| 1412s | not flood the game with them in that |
| 1414s | sense as |
| 1418s | well thank you very much M I'm just |
| 1420s | going to say one one Dev it's not |
| 1422s | pre-recorded bro like I can see your I |
| 1424s | can see your chat message you're |
| 1425s | probably going to be spammed as a as a |
| 1427s | preut actor prepaid actor but it's not |
| 1429s | pre-recorded bro all right we're doing |
| 1431s | these live that's why it took so long to |
| 1433s | get them back you right anyway we'll |
| 1435s | move on from that uh why are changes is |
| 1439s | to shivery being considered again |
| 1441s | despite having failed a poll in the |
| 1443s | recent past which is quite topical |
| 1444s | question at the |
| 1445s | moment yeah it's completely Fair um |
| 1448s | seeing seeing these comments um so the |
| 1451s | reason why it's being kind of |
| 1452s | rediscussed is previously the the way we |
| 1456s | pitched the changes weren't that well |
| 1459s | liked by the community and there was |
| 1461s | some very clear and good feedback that |
| 1463s | you know we could work on so we've kind |
| 1465s | of completely changed the the way we're |
| 1469s | looking at it and the implementation |
| 1470s | which feels very appropriate for what |
| 1473s | we're trying to do with the new prayers |
| 1474s | as well um so that's why we we're kind |
| 1478s | of looking to revisit again it again if |
| 1481s | we were just you know if it was a slight |
| 1483s | change like then it probably wouldn't |
| 1486s | require R visit but it is very different |
| 1487s | to what was pitched |
| 1491s | before yeah I think I think we're coming |
| 1493s | from not just from what I understand as |
| 1495s | well cuz I'm I'm not been like |
| 1496s | completely Hands-On on the project but |
| 1499s | we're not coming at it of like this |
| 1500s | failed we need to push it past this is |
| 1502s | like oh actually there's a place from |
| 1504s | the feedback that we gathered that this |
| 1506s | could slot in quite nicely here to see |
| 1508s | if this is a alternative that players |
| 1510s | are happy with so yeah we're not trying |
| 1512s | to just shove things in for shoving sake |
| 1515s | for what it's worth uh so alongside the |
| 1518s | sort of you know revisiting |
| 1521s | shivery why are we proposing to change |
| 1524s | uh changes to Quest |
| 1526s | unlocks yeah so it kind of just it it |
| 1529s | makes it all fit in together with what |
| 1531s | we're trying to put forward with these |
| 1533s | new prayers um to to not have defensive |
| 1536s | requirements as well um because the |
| 1538s | defensive percentages are so low it |
| 1540s | allows you to choose whether you want to |
| 1542s | have the defense and offense together or |
| 1544s | just the offense so we want to kind of |
| 1545s | incorporate that with shivery as well |
| 1547s | and and just make it all aligned and |
| 1550s | work work together as expected and not |
| 1552s | have kind of weird like um differences |
| 1555s | for one specific prayer um so hopefully |
| 1557s | it should just all you know um work well |
| 1562s | together awesome awesome uh thank you |
| 1566s | very much M all right so this is one |
| 1569s | that's come straight from feedback from |
| 1571s | the blog and I'm guessing there's |
| 1573s | probably going to be quite a lengthy |
| 1574s | answer to this but why are all the |
| 1576s | chivalry changes being bundled into one |
| 1580s | question yep so we actually we just come |
| 1583s | out from like a meeting to talk about |
| 1586s | this feedback and you I to share some of |
| 1589s | the not we got there from this meeting |
| 1591s | know I see everybody been talking about |
| 1594s | this and we spoke about this more |
| 1596s | extensively than anything else in the |
| 1598s | meeting so you know we've seen both side |
| 1601s | of argument whether you know on social |
| 1603s | media or in our survey the thing is we |
| 1606s | want shivy to be you know in line with |
| 1609s | the other two new prayer from the from |
| 1611s | the B from the Titan here so it's so we |
| 1615s | we think it's needs not to require |
| 1618s | defense so that's that's what we want to |
| 1620s | propose an implementation that we feel |
| 1622s | you know it's best and like player to |
| 1624s | have and player have their say there and |
| 1626s | the thing is we we just don't like know |
| 1629s | this version of this where the sh need |
| 1632s | 31 defense use you know especially you |
| 1635s | know as a prayer you know which that no |
| 1637s | longer give significant defense boost |
| 1639s | now so we believe there's a lot of |
| 1642s | support you know on our what we think |
| 1646s | what is our current approach and you |
| 1648s | know of course we saw there are some |
| 1650s | negative feedback online there and but |
| 1652s | also we saw many positive there from our |
| 1654s | survey result you know like a lot of |
| 1656s | people been supporting this so you |
| 1659s | hopefully this will give some |
| 1660s | justification for us for approaching it |
| 1662s | this way and see well now the next will |
| 1665s | be see what people thinking in the poll |
| 1668s | and so we can consider what the next |
| 1670s | step it |
| 1673s | is yeah I think just going on with kind |
| 1676s | of our reasoning for changing chivalry |
| 1678s | as well um currently it does it just |
| 1680s | sees very little use um so uh for if we |
| 1684s | allowed it to be used for PS as well it |
| 1686s | only actually gives them uh One Max hit |
| 1688s | I believe in most cases but if they're |
| 1690s | in full Max it gives them two Max hits |
| 1692s | but they're not getting that for free |
| 1693s | they do have to level up their account |
| 1695s | train their prayer so they do gain some |
| 1697s | combat levels so if you are on a lower |
| 1699s | level they they might not be able to |
| 1701s | attack you anymore as a result of that |
| 1703s | um even even changing uh chivy to come |
| 1706s | from Holy Grail um it's it's It's |
| 1708s | relatively easy uh to get P still as |
| 1711s | well so we are offering chivery to more |
| 1714s | players but you know P still very much |
| 1716s | attainable um and I think making all of |
| 1719s | the prayers work uh in sync with each |
| 1722s | other with with similar requirements |
| 1724s | because they're going to be like kind of |
| 1725s | the mid tier um offensive prayers it |
| 1728s | just works well and it's nice and having |
| 1732s | specific differences when there doesn't |
| 1734s | necessarily need to be them it it um |
| 1737s | it'd be good to adjust that if possible |
| 1738s | and this feels like a really good place |
| 1740s | to do that um as well as you know kind |
| 1742s | of new quests we we have this system |
| 1745s | that you can choose whether you do get |
| 1747s | XP from quests or not um so for for this |
| 1750s | specific instance because we think it's |
| 1752s | a good change we want to go in that |
| 1754s | direction as well for this for this very |
| 1756s | specific instance um and |
| 1760s | yeah awesome thank you both very much |
| 1763s | for the very in depth answer I'm not |
| 1765s | going to lie that was a that was a lot |
| 1767s | but hopefully that gives you guys a bit |
| 1768s | more uh understanding of why the the |
| 1771s | decisions went into uh uh what we did so |
| 1775s | um awesome all right uh any thought any |
| 1778s | sort of closing thoughts on the prayer |
| 1780s | SC before we moved on |
| 1782s | or yeah um yeah just quickly I hope I |
| 1786s | hope the prayers are a nice way to um |
| 1790s | kind of tie in the prayer book as a |
| 1793s | whole right now uh at least so you know |
| 1795s | you have your your early game your mid |
| 1797s | game and your and your late game prayers |
| 1799s | well there what augre is only 77 prayer |
| 1801s | isn't it so maybe in the future we can |
| 1803s | go down that route but yeah for now |
| 1805s | hopefully this is a a nice way to |
| 1808s | complete those the book and uh hopefully |
| 1812s | everyone agrees I know I've seen a bunch |
| 1814s | of responses from the survey and stuff |
| 1816s | and it looks like people are very much |
| 1817s | in favor of the changes so it's great to |
| 1821s | see yeah awesome I and I cannot stress |
| 1824s | this enough just especially from a |
| 1826s | community manager standpoint |
| 1829s | as many of you as possible do the |
| 1830s | surveys because they do consolidate all |
| 1833s | feedback into one nice place and it's |
| 1835s | not that we don't take everything into |
| 1837s | consideration but those surveys like we |
| 1839s | we spend time crafting them and |
| 1841s | adjusting them so we can extract the |
| 1842s | answers that we need from you guys so |
| 1844s | anytime you see a survey do them because |
| 1846s | they are they are massively helpful to |
| 1848s | us especially in cm um awesome all right |
| 1852s | let's go on to desicated pages and why |
| 1855s | are we offering them here specifically |
| 1860s | yeah um I think it was mod hooti that |
| 1862s | was talking to me about the the pages |
| 1865s | being like frustrating um and I I |
| 1869s | thought well we're doing uh bosses that |
| 1872s | um could potentially drop you know burnt |
| 1874s | Pages or uh soaked pages but then |
| 1878s | dramatically it felt a little bit off so |
| 1880s | we kind of went down this desicated |
| 1881s | Pages route uh and what desicated pages |
| 1884s | are uh basically you can uh choose to |
| 1886s | get them as a drop instead of your |
| 1888s | regular loot from these bosses uh and |
| 1890s | then we would allow well the original |
| 1894s | concept is to allow players to bring |
| 1896s | them to a pyromancer or to temporus and |
| 1900s | either dip them in the pool or give them |
| 1901s | to the pyromancer and then receive |
| 1903s | either burnt Pages or soaked pages and |
| 1906s | that would hopefully uh encourage |
| 1909s | players to use Elemental weaknesses more |
| 1910s | because obviously this boss we want |
| 1912s | people to use Mage as part of gear |
| 1914s | switching so if we can help that whole |
| 1917s | ecos system with Pages being more |
| 1919s | available and you know not just from win |
| 1923s | Tod or temporus where they can be quite |
| 1925s | frustrating to obtain like you have to |
| 1927s | do them do those activities for quite a |
| 1929s | long period of time so you don't really |
| 1931s | want to use your pages because you you |
| 1933s | don't want to lose them right um so yeah |
| 1935s | this is just another way of obtaining |
| 1938s | them at a consistent rate allows you to |
| 1940s | use them for the content um and yeah |
| 1943s | should should be good long term |
| 1944s | hopefully uh for people to get those |
| 1946s | pages if they want to |
| 1949s | yeah I think that's a nice way to give |
| 1951s | all the Avid pvmers that don't want to |
| 1952s | go back to uh winter Tod and temporo a |
| 1956s | nice way to consistently keep their pvm |
| 1958s | up CU if that's what you you you love |
| 1960s | doing and the the the thing is from |
| 1965s | combat it makes sense that it just keeps |
| 1967s | you consistently fueled in that nice |
| 1969s | like gameplay Loop which is quite nice |
| 1971s | um so yeah I might definitely do this |
| 1973s | instead of temporus and and win top of |
| 1976s | pages from now on cuz it sounds like a |
| 1978s | very very fun boss um all right next |
| 1981s | question then is some popular |
| 1983s | suggestions about tying these pages into |
| 1985s | romecraft a pop up since the initial |
| 1987s | blog have you seen these and what did |
| 1989s | you make of |
| 1991s | them yeah I've seen the the suggestion |
| 1994s | and actually we chatted about this |
| 1996s | earlier today and I think we are open to |
| 1999s | a more well integrated way of you know |
| 2002s | converting these pages with the Run |
| 2004s | Crafting Ideas there and actually |
| 2006s | personally I quite like the idea |
| 2008s | so well unfortunately we don't have time |
| 2011s | to flash this out before the post goes |
| 2014s | live so I think the thing is we need to |
| 2017s | see if this is something can be fit into |
| 2020s | the scope of the project and we need to |
| 2022s | find out like how long and and to and |
| 2026s | how difficult to do this with as part of |
| 2029s | the royal Titan project so yeah so is |
| 2032s | once we know the result once we know the |
| 2035s | have estimation of the workload there |
| 2037s | know we we up dat the player to let you |
| 2039s | know hopefully we get some good news |
| 2041s | there |
| 2043s | soon awesome awesome thank you very much |
| 2045s | daon all right we only have a couple |
| 2047s | questions left so if you guys have |
| 2048s | questions about the Royal Titans the |
| 2049s | rewards anything to do with that please |
| 2051s | put them in chat at Old School RS and |
| 2054s | we'll try and pick them out as much as |
| 2055s | possible because we are like running |
| 2057s | through these questions um all right the |
| 2059s | next one then is will there be a way to |
| 2061s | make soil Pages using desicated |
| 2065s | pages so currently wasn't in our plan |
| 2068s | but you know if it's um requested enough |
| 2071s | we could potentially go down that Avenue |
| 2073s | as well um maybe in twitch chat you guys |
| 2075s | can tell us what you think about |
| 2079s | that yeah yeah mention it in chat let's |
| 2082s | get let's go let's go uh I keep looking |
| 2084s | at those words thinking I'm going to |
| 2086s | mispronounce them man I'm sweating |
| 2087s | looking at them words like I've got them |
| 2089s | so far which is nice um anything to add |
| 2092s | on the rewards specifically like when |
| 2094s | can we expect the poll to go |
| 2096s | live yep the PO always plan to go life |
| 2099s | next |
| 2102s | week yes so stay tuned stay tuned uh and |
| 2106s | then from you guys is there anything |
| 2108s | else to add generally over just anything |
| 2110s | Royal Titans related before we move on |
| 2112s | to to Twitch chat |
| 2115s | questions y just a quick one I saw in |
| 2118s | the chat uh regarding the second hit for |
| 2121s | the spell from the Twin Flame staff uh |
| 2124s | yes that second hit will uh do Elemental |
| 2127s | like bonus uh if they've got an |
| 2129s | elemental weakness so that 40% will be |
| 2131s | increased as well so for something like |
| 2132s | Zora it could be a very strong staff but |
| 2135s | if you go to the blog and look at the |
| 2136s | DPS charts you will see that aarm orb is |
| 2139s | still better and I think I can't |
| 2141s | remember if it was tuman was even better |
| 2143s | than har orb still or not but |
| 2147s | yeah awesome awesome stuff all right |
| 2149s | let's go on to Twitch chat questions now |
| 2152s | cuz we we we've exhausted our list of of |
| 2154s | of pre-written ones from you lovely lot |
| 2156s | over the last couple days of feedback |
| 2158s | back um I'm going to read this as it's |
| 2160s | typed so what is the necklace in the |
| 2162s | picture guys which we've seen quite a |
| 2165s | lot sorry I don't know what you mean by |
| 2167s | a necklace G have to move on to the next |
| 2169s | one um no I'm joking um so the ne the |
| 2173s | necklace I don't know whether we want to |
| 2175s | discuss it now or in a in a future blog |
| 2178s | um but it's it's basically uh an item |
| 2181s | that we might uh propose that allows you |
| 2185s | to teleport to the boss layers |
| 2188s | uh for the Royal Titans for Brio fighter |
| 2191s | and for oore um it would be charged with |
| 2194s | a l Rune and big bones uh the big bones |
| 2197s | can be noted if you want uh and it just |
| 2199s | be a way to access the layers uh for you |
| 2202s | if that's something that players are |
| 2203s | interested |
| 2206s | in yeah well how do you feel about that |
| 2208s | chat there you go nice exclusive from us |
| 2211s | uh the design as well looks very cool um |
| 2215s | incorporating the sort of drops from uh |
| 2217s | the the two new Titan uh uh the king and |
| 2221s | the queen so it's very cool I think I |
| 2223s | think all I'm seeing in chat is yes at |
| 2225s | the moment which is very good um I also |
| 2228s | see pets from oore and Brier fighter do |
| 2231s | we want to do we want to touch on that |
| 2233s | quickly is there any thoughts behind |
| 2235s | that I mean from us I don't think so um |
| 2238s | is that something people want the people |
| 2240s | really want to go grind out a lot of |
| 2242s | keys to go do those or you know maybe in |
| 2244s | the future the system can be changed so |
| 2245s | it doesn't require Keys could be cool as |
| 2247s | well but pets would be quite cool |
| 2249s | actually I can imagine having a little |
| 2250s | like Hill giant following me |
| 2253s | around yeah maybe it's transm instead of |
| 2256s | an actual pet maybe I don't know I don't |
| 2258s | know do we want to give all all Giants |
| 2260s | all the pets I don't know maybe maybe |
| 2262s | it's just me but um awesome all right uh |
| 2266s | next one then have you seen the cold |
| 2268s | smithing Gauntlet suggestions combines |
| 2269s | gold smith gauntlets and Ice gloves if |
| 2271s | so what do you make of |
| 2276s | it not seeing it no I'm I'm sorry uh do |
| 2280s | you know any about anything about it s |
| 2282s | or have you not seen either I haven't |
| 2284s | seen the specific suggestion but from |
| 2286s | just everything I've seen over the last |
| 2288s | four years and this coming up time and |
| 2290s | time again it's a way to combine the |
| 2293s | Goldsmith gauntlets and the ice gloves |
| 2294s | so that you can do I think it's um oh |
| 2297s | what's it called Bast furnace a bit |
| 2299s | nicer so you don't have to consistently |
| 2300s | switch between gloves um I think it's |
| 2304s | been going on for it's been a hot |
| 2305s | request for a long long time um so I |
| 2309s | reckon that because of the ice fire tie |
| 2311s | in that we've consistently referenced |
| 2313s | over the the |
| 2315s | uh this whole stream that this was to |
| 2318s | tie into this somehow so I don't know |
| 2319s | what you guys thought on the idea or |
| 2321s | whether we would tie this into these |
| 2323s | two think maybe it could just be future |
| 2326s | reward space for something because we we |
| 2327s | always like reward space for different |
| 2329s | areas of the game so um if it's if it's |
| 2332s | as popular as it it sounds it is then |
| 2334s | yeah we could definitely do something |
| 2336s | like that somewhere else |
| 2339s | yeah yeah we'll keep we'll keep we'll |
| 2341s | keep it in mind guys we'll keep it in |
| 2342s | mind all right don't worry it's it's |
| 2344s | it's in the back of the back of the old |
| 2346s | school team's mind who who knows for |
| 2348s | what content I don't know uh all right |
| 2350s | next question then do you need to be on |
| 2352s | normals for twinflame to AutoCast fire |
| 2354s | wave or does it act as fire slw waterer |
| 2357s | runes yeah so it'll be just like a |
| 2359s | normal staff it won't be a power Stave |
| 2361s | um probably pronouncing loads of things |
| 2363s | wrong the stream my apologies uh but |
| 2365s | yeah no you have to be on normal spell |
| 2366s | book um uh |
| 2368s | I I haven't actually thought too much um |
| 2370s | whether it should act like fire and |
| 2372s | water runes whether that'd be too op uh |
| 2374s | for the staff but it it sounds |
| 2376s | relatively reasonable so maybe we do go |
| 2378s | in that direction if players do like |
| 2380s | that concept as |
| 2384s | well cool cool anything we're saying |
| 2387s | here just keep keep keep us in the loop |
| 2388s | if if you definitely want these things |
| 2390s | it would be nice for us to like confirm |
| 2392s | what what you do want um we we have |
| 2395s | touch on this but we I think it's worth |
| 2397s | re clarifying but is there a key system |
| 2399s | to unlock these bosses could moss and |
| 2402s | Hill boss bosses drop keys to unlock the |
| 2404s | door permanently like Nexus Frozen |
| 2406s | door uh no answer is stet no so it's |
| 2410s | interesting I can share something it's |
| 2412s | like in our early design meeting we're |
| 2414s | actually having one of the no seeing no |
| 2417s | key system for this boss because people |
| 2419s | don't like the keys in the hill Giant |
| 2421s | and more Str so |
| 2425s | yeah yeah I'm not going to lie I think |
| 2426s | that's been a discussion in internally |
| 2428s | for years now what we do about the keys |
| 2430s | and when we do new giant bosses whether |
| 2433s | we include that or not so yeah that's |
| 2434s | been on our own for a hot minute um all |
| 2438s | right next question then we have from |
| 2440s | chat is since you'll be you will only be |
| 2442s | able to loot one of the Giants bodies |
| 2444s | will you receive a double roll on the |
| 2446s | loot |
| 2448s | table funnily enough I don't know how |
| 2451s | whoever wrote whoever asked this uh knew |
| 2453s | this but yeah no we are looking to do |
| 2456s | two rolls at the at the drop table but |
| 2457s | it's not because you're only looting one |
| 2459s | Giant's bodies it's just uh just for |
| 2461s | balancing and giving kind of appropriate |
| 2464s | rewards I did I think I saw a question |
| 2466s | earlier as well that was relating to if |
| 2468s | I'm solo can I loot both of the bosses |
| 2471s | because I've taken them on myself no you |
| 2473s | only get one uh rle so you have to pick |
| 2475s | one of them uh but it is nice because if |
| 2477s | you are missing a uni from one of them |
| 2479s | you can pick that specific boss um so |
| 2482s | you can hopefully lessen any bad |
| 2485s | RNG yeah I feel like it'd be pretty |
| 2487s | weird to force in a Solo meta for a boss |
| 2491s | we've designed for Duos in my end feel |
| 2493s | like that'd be quite strange um but yeah |
| 2497s | uh next question talking about groups |
| 2499s | and Duos will there be dedicated |
| 2500s | grouping system to help players find |
| 2503s | Duos yeah well we still looking at |
| 2506s | different uh possibility of how we deal |
| 2509s | with how like the player can play |
| 2511s | together in this boss and uh yeah I |
| 2514s | think the something we need to look at |
| 2515s | is not too complex so it's fit in with |
| 2518s | our project our scope of the project |
| 2520s | something we been look at might be you |
| 2522s | know like next how it's been doing with |
| 2524s | the group group players been doing |
| 2528s | this oh yeah so the other thing would |
| 2531s | yeah yeah sorry just forgot to say I |
| 2532s | just add this yeah the other thing is we |
| 2535s | might be link that's being aligned with |
| 2537s | the client system so we be able to do |
| 2540s | that only with the the people with with |
| 2542s | you in the same |
| 2546s | client awesome awesome stuff thank you |
| 2549s | daong okay uh can you give a bit more |
| 2553s | explanation based on defeating one bosss |
| 2556s | and the other becoming |
| 2560s | stronger yeah um so the premise is we |
| 2564s | don't want you to just kill one boss and |
| 2565s | then be like haha easy mechanics cuz I |
| 2568s | only have to deal with one boss now uh |
| 2569s | so we will incentivize you to be |
| 2572s | tactical about your fight and not just |
| 2574s | destroy one and then move on to the next |
| 2576s | um to you know kind of distribute U |
| 2579s | damage to each of the bosses it it won't |
| 2581s | be like you know vanguards where you |
| 2583s | have to ensure that you're in this |
| 2585s | specific limit because that can be very |
| 2587s | frustrating um if you're not great at |
| 2589s | mass or just not paying attention too |
| 2591s | much um but yeah uh we we will make it a |
| 2594s | bit more difficult um if you do decide |
| 2597s | to take down one boss it won't be |
| 2600s | significantly like impossible to do um |
| 2602s | like you won't want to leave you know |
| 2604s | and and go Bank after doing it once |
| 2607s | there'll be some leniency but it will be |
| 2610s | encouraged you will be encouraged to |
| 2612s | defeat both bosses at a very similar |
| 2614s | time yeah so when we designed the boss |
| 2618s | there the mechanic there you know one is |
| 2620s | fire one is ice so apparently you know |
| 2623s | when you know what ice and fire coming |
| 2625s | together it just cancel out each other |
| 2627s | so that's kind of the inspiration we are |
| 2629s | trying to do here you know when there |
| 2631s | are two boss together they will kind of |
| 2633s | cancel out each other for some of their |
| 2635s | attacking so which actually in a way |
| 2638s | helping the player to fighting them you |
| 2639s | know when they facing two of them even |
| 2642s | you know you're facing two boss but they |
| 2643s | are actually try they will not really |
| 2645s | helping each other when they actually |
| 2647s | doing the attack together but then |
| 2649s | there's one boss left you know they |
| 2651s | didn't have the concentr from the power |
| 2653s | on the opposite opposite Gant which |
| 2655s | means you're only facing one element |
| 2657s | there which is much more stronger |
| 2659s | compared to before when there's two boss |
| 2663s | there awesome thank you very much guys I |
| 2666s | can already see people ask saying in |
| 2667s | chat that's very very cool uh so good |
| 2670s | job uh all right next question then uh |
| 2673s | are you thinking of updating other Duo |
| 2675s | bosses I.E grest Guardians to be similar |
| 2677s | as a Duo person boss as |
| 2680s | well currently not no it it's not as |
| 2684s | quite as simple as just you know copy |
| 2686s | paste to the other system uh it would |
| 2689s | require a lot of reworking I believe um |
| 2691s | so I don't think so |
| 2695s | now awesome stuff all right all right uh |
| 2698s | next question then would you uh I've |
| 2701s | butchered that phrase in that y'all |
| 2704s | consider expanding which Slayer Masters |
| 2705s | give out ice giants task with this new |
| 2709s | boss yeah we're open to it um I believe |
| 2713s | we are hoping to make it so if you're on |
| 2715s | a fire giant task you can get that extra |
| 2717s | damage and XP from BR Brer um and if |
| 2722s | you're on a ice giant task you can get |
| 2724s | that XP and extra damage against eldri |
| 2728s | uh but in terms of increasing the amount |
| 2730s | of um tasks available from different uh |
| 2734s | slay Masters I'm not sure whether we |
| 2735s | want to do that because that might end |
| 2737s | up negatively affecting you know those |
| 2740s | specific Slayer Masters for what they |
| 2742s | provide and assign so I don't know |
| 2744s | whether we' do that but we will |
| 2745s | hopefully depending on balancing allow |
| 2748s | you to do this on |
| 2751s | task yeah there we go so stay tuned for |
| 2754s | more that's that's what I'm hearing for |
| 2755s | a m uh okay next question then is will |
| 2759s | there be a quest that unlocks the new |
| 2761s | giant bosses or will it be uh open gate |
| 2763s | from the |
| 2764s | get-go um unfortunately no we don't plan |
| 2767s | to have a new quest for that we don't |
| 2770s | really have that kind of scope for |
| 2771s | fitting that there but and also on the |
| 2774s | other side you know that the boss itself |
| 2776s | it's like a focus on training the player |
| 2778s | with the gear switching so it don't feel |
| 2781s | like it's we really need to put up a |
| 2783s | quest there to do any like introduction |
| 2785s | there but yeah I think it' be cool you |
| 2787s | know we have a quest to give some |
| 2789s | background there but you know it's it is |
| 2792s | something I think people can get idea |
| 2794s | from the the fight itself you know like |
| 2796s | ice Giant and and the fire giant being |
| 2799s | in the |
| 2804s | conflict awesome okay thank you very |
| 2806s | much all right next question then is |
| 2808s | what uh what's the rough kill time |
| 2810s | you're aiming for with the Royal |
| 2816s | Titans um I think it's still a bit early |
| 2819s | to say we are still in the way of |
| 2821s | balancing and taking the things I think |
| 2822s | the thing is it will be need to be make |
| 2826s | sure that experiment smooth enough for |
| 2828s | our Target player and also it it will be |
| 2830s | related with how the drop table been |
| 2833s | working you know how we want player to |
| 2835s | you know like the the the GP rate from |
| 2838s | there with how often we want player to |
| 2840s | to get the the the the the rare reward |
| 2844s | from the boss so it's it's all kind of |
| 2846s | the balancing we need to see |
| 2852s | yeah I think a lot of these are going to |
| 2853s | come down to balancing post uh like pre |
| 2855s | and post uh update so yes um awesome so |
| 2860s | I don't know who oh is this mod mans |
| 2862s | coming with a question from the chat |
| 2864s | what's my favorite s depends on the day |
| 2867s | of the week mate I don't know it's uh if |
| 2870s | we're going like classic bacon or |
| 2872s | sausage sausage |
| 2874s | 100% like sausage in like a nice crusty |
| 2877s | crusty roll with some ketchup on there |
| 2880s | little black pepper sprinkled in you |
| 2882s | know just just just nice nice simple |
| 2885s | simple yeah anyway back to Royal Titans |
| 2889s | uh next question is understanding you |
| 2892s | can't discuss drop rates what is the |
| 2895s | team aiming for in terms of hours to |
| 2897s | complete this |
| 2899s | boss it it wouldn't be a significant |
| 2902s | amount of hours I don't believe |
| 2903s | obviously it's hard to discuss rates |
| 2905s | right now because we need to um |
| 2908s | balance um everything basically there |
| 2911s | there's a lot that goes into it um so we |
| 2913s | can't give like an exact amount but it |
| 2915s | shouldn't be that uh lengthy because |
| 2918s | obviously this is kind of |
| 2921s | uh how do I say it we we don't want to |
| 2923s | make this feel like a massive chore |
| 2926s | where you you might as well just go to |
| 2928s | do Chambers instead we kind of want this |
| 2930s | to to feel like it's worthwhile doing |
| 2933s | without you know taking way too much |
| 2935s | time so we want to respect your time um |
| 2937s | uh and yeah so I won't say exactly but |
| 2940s | we will respect your |
| 2943s | time yeah we will indeed all right uh |
| 2947s | the next question then we have from chat |
| 2949s | is is the team set on the new prayers |
| 2951s | replacing the old ones or they open to |
| 2953s | use this as an opportunity to make the |
| 2954s | prayer book more customizable like the |
| 2956s | spell |
| 2959s | book uh so I think uh |
| 2964s | sorry might catch that all of it okay |
| 2967s | okay um I think we yeah we are somewhat |
| 2970s | set on replacing the old ones uh just |
| 2972s | because if we do make it new prayers it |
| 2975s | kind of messes with the prayer book as |
| 2977s | it is we can add a we could add a scroll |
| 2979s | bar and stuff but it feels like this |
| 2981s | would work quite well in simply |
| 2983s | replacing the replacing the prayers |
| 2985s | maybe we can have a toggle so you can |
| 2986s | potentially toggle it off but I don't |
| 2988s | know why you ever would unless you go to |
| 2990s | freet to play Maybe um but yeah there |
| 2992s | probably wouldn't be much of a reason to |
| 2994s | toggle it other than that |
| 3000s | awesome awesome okay thank you m all |
| 3002s | right I'm going to skip over question 15 |
| 3004s | from chat and uh and question |
| 3007s | 16 uh and question 17 and question 18 so |
| 3012s | we're going to go to uh 19 just for |
| 3014s | production sake uh what tier weapons |
| 3017s | would you recommend to fight the Titans |
| 3019s | and I'm not I'm not going to read I'm |
| 3021s | not going to don't say what specific |
| 3023s | weapons guys but what do you reckon the |
| 3024s | tier of weapon should be |
| 3028s | I reckon a Ron dagger no I'm joking um I |
| 3032s | I don't know giant the giant one at |
| 3034s | least yeah oh yeah of course um I would |
| 3038s | probably |
| 3040s | say you're not expected to be in Max |
| 3042s | gear obviously you can go in Max gear if |
| 3044s | you want if you're hunting the pet |
| 3045s | obviously you're probably going to do |
| 3046s | that but if you think about where you're |
| 3048s | expected to be in this in a player's |
| 3051s | Journey when you're you know maybe |
| 3054s | you've done a fire Cape you can kind of |
| 3056s | assume what gear you'd have at that |
| 3057s | point um obviously the better gear the |
| 3060s | easier The Kills will be but you know |
| 3062s | you can go with a friend um and you can |
| 3064s | just take whatever gear you can again we |
| 3066s | are looking to put the the main focus on |
| 3069s | gear switching so it's not necessarily |
| 3072s | going to be like a really a tough fight |
| 3074s | in the sense of you you've got a DPS |
| 3076s | check it will be more so you know trying |
| 3078s | to teach players how to gear switch um |
| 3081s | rather than oh you need the best gear to |
| 3083s | be able to do this so that that would be |
| 3084s | the focus |
| 3088s | yeah definitely not confirming obor's |
| 3090s | Club is going to oneshot both of them so |
| 3092s | definitely don't definitely don't look |
| 3093s | into that you know uh all right uh next |
| 3097s | question is is there a reason which is |
| 3099s | this is quite a good question is there a |
| 3100s | reason these aren't free to play like |
| 3103s | other giant |
| 3110s | bosses I guess |
| 3112s | it's yeah I think it's the the current |
| 3115s | plan is we try to focus on getting |
| 3117s | the content to be the membership you |
| 3119s | know we can focus on getting this this |
| 3121s | boss to fill the Gap you know like scar |
| 3124s | is also not a member member not a free |
| 3126s | to play one and perilous moon is also |
| 3129s | not there so it's it's more like we |
| 3130s | lined up with the content with the |
| 3132s | member content we want but of course you |
| 3134s | know if if later you know player will |
| 3136s | want some freet toplay boss to be there |
| 3139s | to line up with the like kill giant and |
| 3141s | m g as would be something we can |
| 3143s | consider to do in the |
| 3145s | future think also for that like balance |
| 3149s | trying to balance this if it was a |
| 3150s | free-to-play boss which is meant to each |
| 3153s | gear switching would be quite difficult |
| 3155s | and because it's meant to be a Duo boss |
| 3157s | I feel like it being freet to play would |
| 3158s | limit it quite a lot so that's also |
| 3161s | another reason why it's it's going to be |
| 3163s | a member's |
| 3165s | boss yeah I think to both M and D's |
| 3168s | point it's about that positioning in the |
| 3170s | player Journey not about like the actual |
| 3172s | bosses themselves because they're Giants |
| 3174s | they should be freet to play it's it's |
| 3176s | more like because this is where we see |
| 3178s | them in the journey it doesn't make real |
| 3180s | sense for them to be free to play |
| 3181s | because you you would be beyond that |
| 3184s | point where like I want to say the |
| 3186s | freeto playay like cap I I don't even |
| 3189s | want to use the word cap but that freet |
| 3190s | to play like hard limit hits when you |
| 3194s | sort of like exhausted the most most of |
| 3195s | the stuff you can do there and this just |
| 3197s | feels natural to be placed there um cool |
| 3201s | all right then um I think I think that |
| 3205s | is where will the Titans be G this is |
| 3207s | the last chat question I |
| 3211s | have Asia ice dungon I think that's the |
| 3214s | one we we've been talk about and that's |
| 3216s | the thing we see in the during the |
| 3218s | summit and no not no change on that |
| 3222s | yet yeah awesome awesome um all right I |
| 3225s | do have one more actually just just you |
| 3227s | know slip one in there will you be able |
| 3229s | to manually cast surge spells with a |
| 3231s | twin star flame and get the bonus |
| 3234s | attack no it would be way too powerful |
| 3237s | and then you'd be breaching you know |
| 3240s | harmonized uh levels of of abilities so |
| 3244s | no uh it will be capped at fire firewave |
| 3247s | um just to ensure it it stays within |
| 3250s | that mid tier um |
| 3254s | weapon awesome awesome thank you very |
| 3257s | much both to you modm and mod daong uh |
| 3261s | for appearing on our first return live |
| 3262s | stream how how how you how are you |
| 3264s | feeling after the reception daong |
| 3268s | it's good yeah exciting here and that's |
| 3270s | a lot of question to answer |
| 3273s | honestly and and M just as a question |
| 3276s | for you what what is it like going |
| 3278s | especially I suppose this could open up |
| 3279s | to both of you what is it going like |
| 3281s | going between very PVP oriented content |
| 3284s | to then back to sort of very hardcore |
| 3287s | pvm not hardcore but hard pvm focused |
| 3289s | content and that is there like a nice |
| 3291s | balance you find going between the two |
| 3293s | different types of |
| 3295s | content yeah person I think obviously |
| 3298s | Wilderness and PVP content can be um |
| 3301s | more of a touchy subject so developing |
| 3304s | and designing content for it is quite a |
| 3306s | bit more difficult um whereas for the |
| 3309s | Royal Titans it's it's being you know |
| 3311s | relatively smooth sailing uh the |
| 3313s | community seemed to enjoy what we've |
| 3314s | pitched so far um and it's been very |
| 3316s | positive so that that is a nice breath |
| 3318s | of fresh air but don't get me wrong I do |
| 3320s | love my PVP and I'm looking forward to |
| 3323s | moving in a direction in the future |
| 3325s | where we do have some solid PVP updates |
| 3327s | that uh maybe focus more on what we've |
| 3329s | learned after after going through um |
| 3331s | some of the results from the PVP |
| 3334s | survey awesome awesome and I can sort of |
