| 315s | season 4 of G all games which is insane |
| 317s | to think it's already at season 4 uh an |
| 320s | amazing start to what is sure to be an |
| 322s | amazing series uh so let's go um all |
| 327s | right with those out the way I'm going |
| 328s | to spend five minutes just talking about |
| 331s | some project rebalance changes before we |
| 333s | get into um the core of this stream um |
| 337s | cuz we've made some some hot we've done |
| 339s | some hot fixes and we've made some uh |
| 341s | changes especially today we've made some |
| 343s | changes that we've added to the news |
| 344s | post you can see them at the top of the |
| 346s | news post if you use exclamation mark |
| 348s | game update uh but I'll run through them |
| 350s | now and then I'm going to go over a |
| 351s | couple of upcoming changes and I want to |
| 353s | stress before I go over the upcoming |
| 356s | changes some of them might not happen |
| 358s | straight away but they are on our radar |
| 361s | and we're exploring a lot of avenues |
| 363s | with them so just bear that in mind but |
| 365s | in terms of the hot fixes uh we fixed an |
| 366s | issue where the brim Haven ticket |
| 368s | dispensers XP rates were wrong uh the |
| 371s | pirate Hook is now correctly adding to |
| 373s | the collection log uh we made changes to |
| 375s | SL Koo drops so should feel better when |
| 378s | more players are there so uh that should |
| 380s | fix some of the issues but we will be |
| 382s | keeping an eye on it to make sure uh it |
| 384s | still sticks in the right area we want |
| 386s | it to be um we've issued a temporary hot |
| 389s | fix uh to stop the world hop abuse we've |
| 392s | seen within the brim Haven agility Arena |
| 394s | so for the meantime you will have to do |
| 396s | two tags in a row to start any tickets |
| 398s | like you did before so just please bear |
| 400s | in mind this is temporary uh we will let |
| 402s | you know more once we've got a an |
| 404s | official fix in place uh We've adjusted |
| 407s | the XP rates for the opt out resources |
| 409s | version of zalcano as some players were |
| 411s | reporting getting excessively High rates |
| 412s | on mass uh so we'll be keeping an eye on |
| 415s | this area as well for more feedback and |
| 417s | finally probably the most uh contentious |
| 420s | uh hot fix we've done is we've removed |
| 422s | the ability for mining gloves to work on |
| 424s | granite and sand Sandstone now I just |
| 427s | wanted to expand on this because a lot |
| 429s | of people wondering why the whole goal |
| 431s | of project rebalance has been to make |
| 434s | Skilling or those areas that we've |
| 436s | touched on better at least improve the |
| 440s | the whole landscape of those skills and |
| 443s | higher intensity SK so it it wasn't |
| 445s | touching the free tick Granite methods |
| 448s | we were seeing in terms of XP but |
| 450s | because it was so low intensity compared |
| 452s | to some of the other things and giving |
| 453s | more XP than those methods we felt it |
| 456s | was only fair to keep to our project |
| 460s | goals and make sure this Falls in line |
| 462s | with that aspect so they have been |
| 464s | removed um you can still use them on all |
| 467s | the other ores like you know that we've |
| 469s | listed in the blog uh but granite and |
| 471s | sandin have been taken off so that's |
| 475s | that's the idea behind it so I'm sorry |
| 477s | for those of you that were enjoying that |
| 480s | uh we just didn't want to leave this for |
| 481s | too much longer because we felt it was a |
| 483s | a shame to take that away later rather |
| 487s | than earlier so yeah so there's still |
| 490s | plenty of methods to do that's the whole |
| 491s | beauty of the project rebalance right is |
| 493s | like we've made a lot of mining |
| 496s | improvements to a lot of other uh mining |
| 499s | methods that you can go and try now and |
| 501s | I would say a lot of them have just |
| 503s | generally improved overall so go and |
| 505s | test out maybe you should test out some |
| 506s | mining activities that you not done |
| 508s | before if you not done volcanic mine go |
| 509s | and test that out not done Soo maybe go |
| 511s | test that out see how you feel um so |
| 514s | yeah uh and outside of that the upcoming |
| 517s | changes and again I want to stress this |
| 519s | might not be instant but uh we're |
| 521s | looking to add a UK worlds to the brim |
| 523s | Haven agility Arena uh we're also |
| 525s | looking into giving you ways of |
| 527s | converting your old brim Haven tickets |
| 529s | into new ones because we know there were |
| 531s | players that had lots of them on mass um |
| 535s | and felt a bit shafted when we brought |
| 537s | in the new ticketing system um so we are |
| 540s | looking into having ways of converting |
| 542s | them um we're also exploring Falls at |
| 546s | both canifis and apol so I don't know if |
| 549s | we're going to take away every fall but |
| 551s | we're definitely exploring making that |
| 553s | just feel better overall because I know |
| 555s | that that was definitely one of the the |
| 557s | highlights uh we saw from feedback that |
| 559s | people wanted to look into um we're |
| 562s | readjusting the fail rates on hero and |
| 564s | paladins because we also saw that that |
| 565s | was maybe a little bit too high than |
| 567s | than what we wanted uh and for the |
| 570s | Gnomes that means readjusting the clue |
| 572s | rates for them um and then finally and |
| 575s | this is the one I want to stress most |
| 578s | about not being straight away uh but |
| 582s | we're potentially looking at a way to be |
| 584s | able to swap a current task with a |
| 587s | stored task in terms of Slayer so you |
| 590s | know you could be on a Slayer task and |
| 592s | you go you know what I want to do |
| 593s | something else and you can switch it |
| 594s | around with something so I'm not sure on |
| 596s | like the full ins and outs we've only |
| 598s | had these this discussions today and it |
| 601s | probably won't come with next week's |
| 603s | game update it will probably come later |
| 604s | on but we are exploring it so please |
| 607s | bear in mind those things that I just |
| 608s | talked about they might not com in next |
| 609s | week's update they might be a little bit |
| 611s | longer than that um so yeah hopefully |
| 615s | this is good news for you all uh we |
| 618s | think project rebalance has gone pretty |
| 620s | pretty well I would say um we're still |
| 622s | going to continue to keep an eye on |
| 624s | things we've had to patch a couple of uh |
| 626s | uh |
| 627s | unnecessary uh I would say exploits |
| 630s | they're definitely like unnecessary uh |
| 632s | XP Gams like the Mage training Arena |
| 635s | methods so uh that was crazy XP per hour |
| 638s | so we want to make sure that any of |
| 640s | those methods get patched uh but yeah we |
| 642s | will keep continuing to look at your |
| 644s | feedback and and go over that in detail |
| 646s | all right so hopefully that's good and |
| 649s | now project rebalance this part of the |
| 651s | stream is done so if you came for that |
| 653s | I'm sorry we're going to be talking |
| 655s | about uh the group boss now uh and we've |
| 658s | got a lot to talk about I'd say squid |
| 659s | with the group boss again if you haven't |
| 662s | checked it out you might want to have |
| 663s | the news post up on the side so you can |
| 665s | sort of follow us along as we we go |
| 666s | through questions with uh exclamation |
| 668s | mark I want to say group boss it is |
| 670s | exclamation mark group boss um so I |
| 674s | think we'll just start going into uh to |
| 677s | the questions squid are you are you |
| 679s | ready for how many we got on the list 33 |
| 682s | questions so far there's a lot right I |
| 684s | switched my mic is that better that |
| 687s | coming through clearer |
| 691s | I can hear you well I |
| 694s | think I think behind the scenes will |
| 696s | know a bit more than me but it's proba |
| 699s | not switched whatever okay well if you |
| 703s | can hear squid that's the main thing I |
| 705s | hope as long as you can hear them like |
| 707s | you know can you hear him that that's |
| 708s | the main thing |
| 711s | um unforunate this is such a nice mic |
| 714s | like |
| 715s | music you know what you need to do squid |
| 717s | oh my camera's going a well as well um |
| 720s | we talk about after but there's there's |
| 722s | a setting you can do into this where you |
| 724s | can actually change your settings in the |
| 725s | in the thing so |
| 727s | oh um never do this just use the main |
| 730s | mic for whatever yeah I don't know I I |
| 733s | did just see a first time chat asking |
| 735s | how I survived Voldemort uh so oh that |
| 739s | caught me off guard as well so we'll see |
| 742s | anyway we're going to get into some |
| 744s | questions now while squid and behind the |
| 746s | scenes check out the things um |
| 750s | let's start with the first one nice |
| 751s | simple easy one squid I think uh is the |
| 755s | group boss going to be |
| 758s | draconic uh yeah so we were talking |
| 760s | about this I know everyone's looked at |
| 762s | it and gone oh is that a dragon um yeah |
| 766s | so we are going to make it draconic yeah |
| 768s | it will be a weak to Dragon Bane weapons |
| 773s | yes yes so it wasn't draconic and then |
| 777s | we went you know what maybe we should |
| 780s | make it draconic because a lot of see |
| 782s | people seem to think it is so yes it |
| 785s | will be draconic um from now on I I was |
| 789s | saying this in I can't remember if I |
| 790s | said it on the stages call or just in |
| 791s | personal meetings but I did look at it |
| 794s | and sort of feel very closely resembled |
| 796s | Rayquaza had sort of in the back of my |
| 799s | mind so I instantly went to Dragon but |
| 801s | you know but now now it is now is a |
| 804s | dragon so there you go I can see merch |
| 807s | is in the chat going nuts they're very |
| 809s | happy um but speaking of draconic I |
| 813s | think we should probably talk about the |
| 815s | jeweling one mod squid which is probably |
| 818s | been the most |
| 819s | contentious reward on this list um I |
| 823s | don't know if you just want to just |
| 824s | start going over like why we chose to |
| 828s | look at the design of the Julian W as it |
| 830s | is and then we'll go into what we SP |
| 831s | spoke about |
| 832s | today yeah yeah sure um also thanks guys |
| 835s | I know it's the wrong mic I can't do |
| 837s | anything about it right now it's just |
| 839s | have to be like this um yeah so the |
| 843s | original drwing one we were looking at |
| 845s | with the rebalance in mind of like |
| 847s | things are going to have elemental |
| 848s | weaknesses um once the elemental |
| 851s | rebalance is out so we can start |
| 853s | fleshing out some of that space um so we |
| 856s | were looking at making Earth spells in |
| 858s | this case an earth spell that would be |
| 860s | pretty strong um and competitive and |
| 863s | also get the nice Boost from the |
| 864s | rebalance afterwards |
| 867s | um of you know we saw your Fe back on |
| 869s | and say quite rightly that the only |
| 872s | things that would actually be uh weak to |
| 875s | that would be metal dragons initially um |
| 877s | and I mean this boss will have an |
| 879s | elemental weakness um but obviously |
| 882s | things in the future will have more |
| 884s | weaknesses but that's not very cool now |
| 887s | so and also obviously the space with the |
| 891s | um the |
| 893s | scepter um it it doesn't become better |
| 896s | till a bit later but it feels like it's |
| 898s | competing for the same thing so so um so |
| 901s | we've had another look at it and we're |
| 902s | discussing stuff earlier and um so our |
| 905s | current thinking now so let us know what |
| 906s | you think of this is we'll get rid of |
| 910s | the |
| 913s | um unique spell the special spell coming |
| 916s | out with it and so it's just a normal |
| 918s | wand but it would have dragon Bane on it |
| 920s | so it will be a magic dragon Bane weapon |
| 925s | it would be obviously it's coming from a |
| 928s | mid-level boss so it's going to tuned |
| 930s | accordingly but it might be a nice |
| 931s | stepping stone for Dragon Bane for sort |
| 932s | of mid levels and then potentially later |
| 935s | on it could be uh we could upgrade it |
| 938s | from high level content to something |
| 940s | that's an endgame Dragon Bane magic |
| 944s | weapon yeah so I think I think some of |
| 947s | the feedback we saw especially with the |
| 950s | first iteration was um and this is again |
| 954s | what squid of saying rightly so is that |
| 957s | I don't know how many of people |
| 958s | especially in chat have tried the beta |
| 961s | rout so there was a period where you |
| 963s | could try Elemental weaknesses but I |
| 966s | think it is also unfair of us to just |
| 968s | hold on that point that you tried the |
| 970s | beta and read the blogs and understand |
| 972s | how impactful that was going to be |
| 974s | without actually having it be in game |
| 976s | and be in game for a little bit and then |
| 979s | I think we're then going to start |
| 981s | exploring that remit of uh reward spaces |
| 984s | in like Elemental specific weapons so |
| 988s | just to clear up some air this won't be |
| 991s | a fre tick St uh wand it will be five |
| 996s | tick squid am I right um yeah normal |
| 999s | normal casting speed and um on the |
| 1001s | standard spell book yeah on the standard |
| 1003s | spell book so not a free tick so because |
| 1006s | free tick weapons are for magic |
| 1009s | especially maybe a little bit |
| 1011s | crazy um could you imagine a free tick |
| 1014s | what was saying free tick fire surge |
| 1016s | before in our little call would be |
| 1018s | insane |
| 1020s | um so yeah and again it is so it is a |
| 1023s | mid it is mid mid level these the |
| 1026s | terminologies are are always like so |
| 1029s | loose I think like especially with |
| 1030s | players and devs so normal weapons on a |
| 1033s | normal spell book with dragon Bane five |
| 1036s | tick um so that's the sort of approach |
| 1039s | we're going for because again it would |
| 1040s | be unfair to give you a weapon that has |
| 1042s | got we're saying like it's going to be |
| 1043s | good it's going to be good but you don't |
| 1045s | really know it's going to be good |
| 1046s | without being in the game itself so |
| 1049s | it wasn't a charge staff no as far as |
| 1051s | I'm aware we never made it a charge |
| 1053s | staff that was squid no no it wasn't |
| 1055s | charged it just had a unique |
| 1057s | spell yeah we will say this isn't like |
| 1060s | the final iteration of this and the |
| 1063s | designers behind it will still need to |
| 1065s | go through numbers and find out where it |
| 1068s | needs to balance in between like other |
| 1069s | draconic weapons what What creatures it |
| 1072s | will be good against and how good it |
| 1074s | will be against so we're going to that's |
| 1077s | why we're not like I wanted to get a |
| 1079s | update your blog out by tomorrow but I |
| 1081s | think we're going to step back and take |
| 1082s | a little bit of time and just make sure |
| 1084s | that it's in a it's in a good place um |
| 1087s | before we like come out to you with like |
| 1089s | the the whole thing so hopefully next |
| 1090s | week we will have it something like that |
| 1092s | I'm seeing a lot of people in chat |
| 1093s | saying make it a four tick I think if we |
| 1096s | if we do that we'll have to again we'll |
| 1098s | have to look into like the |
| 1101s | actual um how powerful that will be cuz |
| 1105s | that's the ultimate decision right like |
| 1106s | we don't want to just SL out DPS |
| 1108s | everything else up to a certain point |
| 1110s | and then it just becomes the best in |
| 1112s | slot for everything other than the |
| 1115s | Shadow or something you know so it's all |
| 1118s | about balance I'm not going to say we're |
| 1120s | going to make it four tick but for now |
| 1121s | just keep it in mind it's a five tick |
| 1123s | standard spell book AutoCast weapon with |
| 1126s | dragon Bane on it so that is that is the |
| 1129s | gist okay yes I'm seeing like again |
| 1131s | forti may be too crazy for Serge as well |
| 1134s | again so we shall see the forti could be |
| 1137s | the upgraded version yeah you're right |
| 1138s | so but you know so again just to clarify |
| 1142s | five tick standard spell book AutoCast |
| 1144s | weapon with dragon Bane on it that is |
| 1146s | our new thinking for this weapon um do |
| 1150s | you want to anything else you want to |
| 1152s | say |
| 1153s | squid that no that covers it um we're |
| 1156s | not going to we have no intention of |
| 1159s | increasing the spellcasting speed of the |
| 1161s | normal spell book in the moment |
| 1163s | this yeah one one or two-handed I I I I |
| 1167s | think it will still be one-handed like |
| 1169s | like the the Wonder was intentionally so |
| 1172s | you should still be able to get access |
| 1174s | from any um TOS you can use for |
| 1178s | Elemental damages um which it will |
| 1181s | benefit from which will be nice um but |
| 1184s | there's no like specific you can at |
| 1186s | least pick your spell book pick your |
| 1188s | pick your Elemental spell pick your book |
| 1190s | and then go off and do whatever you need |
| 1192s | to do with it |
| 1194s | so yeah awesome all right that was like |
| 1197s | five or six questions you in a row cuz I |
| 1199s | didn't want to go through them |
| 1200s | systematically cuz I felt like that |
| 1202s | would be a bit a bit weird one of them I |
| 1204s | will say |
| 1206s | PVP uh yeah you should be able to use it |
| 1209s | in PvP as far as I'm aware I don't think |
| 1211s | there's anything that's stopping it |
| 1213s | unless we make it like four tick or |
| 1217s | something crazy like that then we might |
| 1219s | have to think about PVP and not having |
| 1221s | it there but as it is stands now should |
| 1224s | be able to be used in |
| 1226s | PvP um yeah cool all right uh so I |
| 1230s | suppose speaking of the time of Earth |
| 1232s | squid why is the time of Earth coming |
| 1234s | from a pvm boss instead of a scaling |
| 1235s | boss or something mini game mining |
| 1238s | related in |
| 1240s | particular um yeah that is a fair |
| 1242s | question and it is one we have talked |
| 1244s | about ourselves as well |
| 1247s | um |
| 1249s | the the thing the with the rebounds |
| 1252s | coming like the toms will be really |
| 1254s | pretty decent um and there's there's a |
| 1257s | definitely a gap with that um with Earth |
| 1261s | and air not having the Boost um so we |
| 1264s | were looking to how can we get these TOS |
| 1267s | um get the ball rolling on these TOs and |
| 1269s | we don't know when there's going to be |
| 1271s | like Skilling updates to mining or stuff |
| 1273s | like that which can keep it Skilling um |
| 1277s | and so thought fit with this it's in a |
| 1279s | mountain it's tunneling it's earth |
| 1280s | related um there might be a use for the |
| 1283s | tone of Earth against this boss as well |
| 1287s | um so |
| 1289s | yeah we just thought it's plotting quite |
| 1291s | nicely I do appreciate that it has a |
| 1293s | higher level requirement than like the |
| 1295s | water t or something like that um but |
| 1297s | they are combat weapons so |
| 1301s | um you really you're only going to be |
| 1303s | using them with the relevant combat |
| 1306s | levels anyway so from that point of view |
| 1309s | it's maybe not too crazy it's just |
| 1311s | inconsistent right that's the problem it |
| 1312s | just feels weird because we're doing |
| 1314s | something different |
| 1316s | um but yeah that that's that's the thing |
| 1319s | we do want to get the T to Rolling so we |
| 1323s | thought be a good fit yeah again like we |
| 1326s | we spoke about this in the Discord |
| 1327s | stages but we thought it would be better |
| 1331s | to introduce the to of Earth with |
| 1332s | something that we know is coming out |
| 1334s | rather than having you |
| 1336s | wait to have a to of Earth because |
| 1340s | honestly there's no plan to do like |
| 1343s | another Skilling boss in the very near |
| 1345s | future so when that next tone would come |
| 1348s | from a Skilling boss boss I I couldn't |
| 1350s | tell you it could be a year's time it |
| 1352s | could be 4 years time like would you |
| 1355s | want to wait that long because of an |
| 1358s | inconsistency or would you rather just |
| 1360s | have those extra tones in there just so |
| 1365s | that you can use them um so it's up it's |
| 1369s | more it's more up to you guys like again |
| 1371s | the Air1 I don't know when that will |
| 1373s | come and I will say the next question is |
| 1375s | on the to of air why didn't we go for a |
| 1377s | to of air um so squid I don't know if |
| 1380s | you just want to we just want to hop to |
| 1382s | that |
| 1383s | question uh yeah sure the I mean I know |
| 1386s | the the boss has little wings but it |
| 1388s | can't really fly and it is like |
| 1389s | tunneling through the mountain it's it's |
| 1391s | doing earthy things um |
| 1396s | and there was we were looking to make |
| 1399s | like currently Earth spells don't get |
| 1400s | used a lot so we were looking at whether |
| 1402s | they could be more beneficial on this |
| 1405s | fight um rather than just to fall into |
| 1408s | like fire surge |
| 1410s | so the T kind of slotted into that and |
| 1413s | kind of fed back into the boss itself |
| 1415s | for use and and fit the sort theme of |
| 1417s | what it's doing with the walls and |
| 1419s | tunneling and stuff like that |
| 1420s | so |
| 1422s | yeah yeah I was I just saw someone say |
| 1425s | that boss being uh earthy thing is kind |
| 1428s | of a stretch it lives in the tunnel it |
| 1430s | lives under in the mountains it doesn't |
| 1432s | fly it might I think we were talking |
| 1434s | about this before it might Glide maybe |
| 1436s | with its tiny wings but it's it's it's a |
| 1439s | chonus it's a chonus like it's a long |
| 1442s | long boy um so it will be like buried in |
| 1447s | the mountain and you'll see you'll see |
| 1449s | when you see like the encounter like |
| 1451s | you'll see why it's more earth based |
| 1453s | than air um so yeah we'll just have to |
| 1458s | it might be a horrible excuse for like |
| 1460s | some law reasons but we we likeed that |
| 1464s | fat idea it was like Earth an earthy boy |
| 1467s | long boy earthy long boy is that |
| 1470s | right earthy long boy yeah so um all |
| 1475s | right the next question on the toone |
| 1476s | then CU I think what we should stick |
| 1477s | with this is I assumed water and Earth |
| 1480s | runes will be granted for muddy Pages |
| 1481s | due to the association with mud runes |
| 1483s | and mud staff any plans on changing the |
| 1487s | name oh squid I think you're muted |
| 1489s | unless I've lost |
| 1493s | sound Have I Lost sound |
| 1500s | oh no this mic stuff's not going well |
| 1504s | for squid |
| 1506s | today maybe it was behind the scenes |
| 1508s | that muted squid all |
| 1515s | along no it's I I can I I'll I'll uh |
| 1519s | I'll I'll answer the question on while |
| 1522s | he's figuring out mic problems but |
| 1525s | um yes yeah okay you can you yeah you |
| 1528s | can nod squid are we planning to change |
| 1530s | the |
| 1535s | name there we go there you |
| 1538s | go uh yeah so we're not sure what the |
| 1542s | what the new name is going to be but we |
| 1543s | want to take that Association a bit out |
| 1545s | of of from from mud uh just just to make |
| 1548s | sure there's a bit more um focus and |
| 1551s | make sure it's a bit more refined in |
| 1553s | terms of knowing what exactly it does um |
| 1556s | so here yeah he typed responses in yeah |
| 1561s | squid could type responses he could join |
| 1562s | the chat uh and type it in I'm going to |
| 1565s | I'm going to open up our like work |
| 1567s | messaging platform just in |
| 1571s | case um although I've lost my controls |
| 1574s | now so you're going to have to just bear |
| 1575s | with me guys but anyway uh with that |
| 1578s | being said I'm going to skip over the |
| 1579s | next question uh behind the scenes just |
| 1581s | because I think right we answered it |
| 1583s | next question though is Will no I don't |
| 1587s | think I'm just going to say it I don't |
| 1588s | think we're going with soiled Pages I'm |
| 1590s | just going to put it out there don't |
| 1591s | think that's going to be the name of |
| 1593s | them don't know just probably |
| 1596s | not uh the next question though is will |
| 1600s | the to of Earth offer anything beyond |
| 1603s | 10% damage the water of to give 20% |
| 1606s | accuracy 10% damage and the effects to |
| 1608s | other spells so having both the to of |
| 1610s | fire and the to of Earth just be 10% |
| 1612s | feels lacking have we lost |
| 1615s | squid okay I think I think squids squid |
| 1619s | rebooting um he rebooting squid |
| 1626s | yeah uh I can answer this unless squid |
| 1629s | is back can you hear me oh my God he's |
| 1633s | clear he's loud and he's I think he's |
| 1636s | got the right mic let's go excellent the |
| 1639s | webcam has now changed all of its color |
| 1641s | settings |
| 1644s | awesome it's fine it's fine exactly |
| 1650s | this is why this this is why stages are |
| 1654s | a bit more chill because there's no |
| 1655s | camera there's no camera issues right |
| 1657s | there's just there's just voices it's |
| 1659s | just the problem is I have my camera |
| 1661s | unplugged so I plugged it in and |
| 1662s | everything then changed to use the |
| 1664s | camera and that's just mucked all |
| 1666s | everything up there we go well we we've |
| 1669s | got you back and we can hear you squid |
| 1670s | that's the main thing so I'll repeat the |
| 1673s | question um will the to of Earth offer |
| 1676s | anything beyond 10% damage the to of |
| 1678s | water gives 20% accuracy and 10% damage |
| 1680s | and the effects of a spell having both |
| 1682s | the tone of fire and the tone of Earth |
| 1683s | just be 10% damage feels |
| 1686s | lacking um so I think they're all |
| 1690s | getting changed with the rebalance right |
| 1692s | I believe so as far as I'm aware they're |
| 1694s | all going down to 10% uh damage off so |
| 1698s | because the thing is the rebalance is |
| 1699s | going to make using a particular |
| 1701s | Elemental spell against particular Mobs |
| 1704s | with a weakness really really good so |
| 1706s | the toms then compound that um so that's |
| 1709s | the space they're going to be filling |
| 1710s | they're going to be much more useful |
| 1712s | following all that um so they're all |
| 1714s | going to be that 10% so this is pitched |
| 1717s | post that so yeah you can't compare it |
| 1719s | with the other terms like how they are |
| 1721s | now you've got to compare how they will |
| 1722s | be which will be the |
| 1724s | same yeah exactly I will say for that |
| 1727s | person in chat that asked me what's on |
| 1728s | my head is their spots bro it's very |
| 1731s | obvious look they're just like you know |
| 1733s | it's my my weird weird forehead bro |
| 1736s | that's just got so much space that it |
| 1738s | needs some I need some buddies every now |
| 1741s | and then you know it's nice um all right |
| 1744s | next question then is why are the prayer |
| 1748s | activity prayer recharge potions coming |
| 1749s | from pvm and not new herblore |
| 1753s | activity uh yes um I mean secondaries do |
| 1757s | come from Monsters like that kind of is |
| 1760s | reasonable but we get we get it like the |
| 1762s | herbl activities coming out at the same |
| 1764s | time it does feel a bit weird uh we |
| 1766s | appreciate that feedback so we have an |
| 1768s | idea |
| 1769s | um let us know what you think of |
| 1771s | this we could introduce a new valorian |
| 1775s | herb which you'd get as seeds from the |
| 1779s | boss and that herb would be used to make |
| 1781s | unfinished potions which would then be |
| 1783s | used with secondaries from the HBL |
| 1785s | activity to create the new potions so |
| 1789s | you bit a |
| 1790s | both what are you guys think to that so |
| 1795s | I will say just the |
| 1796s | caveat we're still still unsure on what |
| 1800s | herb we're going to use for the potion |
| 1804s | of goding or as most people are dubbing |
| 1806s | it the aggro potion that's still to be |
| 1809s | decided we're just talking about the uh |
| 1814s | prayer recharge potion cuz there were |
| 1815s | there was some like I think there was |
| 1817s | like loads of different avws that we |
| 1819s | could have gone down really one of them |
| 1821s | is like have two separate secondaries |
| 1825s | from each of the boss which I think was |
| 1826s | our original idea but we saw a lot |
| 1828s | players like unsure about that there was |
| 1831s | one secondary across the both but then |
| 1833s | having them use different herbs but that |
| 1836s | in itself creates a bit of like a weird |
| 1838s | dynamic like between the boss and the |
| 1840s | herbl or activity so we feel like this |
| 1843s | way might be like a nicer Middle Ground |
| 1845s | um obviously we're going to um we're |
| 1848s | still going to put this in the blog and |
| 1849s | we're still going to get your feedback |
| 1850s | on it but we're just we're just putting |
| 1852s | it out there now cuz it's it's cool it |
| 1854s | gives it gives the boss something that |
| 1856s | to come back for especially after you |
| 1857s | get the UN from it that you can just |
| 1860s | like grab the seeds and you know plant |
| 1862s | them and have this like wonderful herb |
| 1864s | that you can create two potions from |
| 1866s | maybe uh again we don't know if it's |
| 1869s | going to be two potions but at least you |
| 1870s | can have one that you're going to come |
| 1872s | back for um so yeah we'll put in the |
| 1875s | blog we'll see I saw I saw a bit of like |
| 1877s | back and forth in in chat saying like |
| 1880s | maybe maybe not but I think I think it's |
| 1883s | like at least an interesting idea that |
| 1885s | sort of like fixes both of the things |
| 1888s | would see these come from other Volo |
| 1889s | activities um potentially like I I don't |
| 1893s | think I can answer that right now |
| 1895s | but I I'm not sure maybe but who knows I |
| 1900s | don't think we're against I think when |
| 1901s | we chatted in the call squid we did say |
| 1905s | we're not against adding like either the |
| 1907s | herb or the seed later on to something |
| 1909s | else but we we don't know H sorry I'm |
| 1912s | just going to cut in Squid I'm not from |
| 1914s | Essex bro I'm not from Essex I'm from |
| 1917s | London |
| 1918s | all right this this is a clear thick |
| 1921s | London accent can't you can't come in |
| 1923s | with that Essex nonsense all right s is |
| 1926s | a lovely place but I'm from London all |
| 1928s | right so I'm not having |
| 1932s | that um sorry s say no it's important |
| 1936s | you got to yeah get that |
| 1941s | there um yes so I don't know if you |
| 1943s | wanted to touch any more on the prayer |
| 1944s | recharge potions sorry prayer |
| 1946s | Rejuvenation potions |
| 1949s | um yeah yeah I mean on the topic of |
| 1952s | whether you'd get seeds or the herbs |
| 1954s | from somewhere else quite possibly |
| 1956s | that's reasonable thing that we do that |
| 1959s | with other herbs so um yeah possibly |
| 1962s | don't know at this time but initially |
| 1965s | potentially just the boss potentially |
| 1967s | add it to some other things we we'll get |
| 1968s | the discussion going |
| 1971s | um but yeah that's that's the uh the |
| 1973s | current current idea get them both |
| 1976s | useful exactly exactly so again we'll |
| 1979s | put it in the blog again it will |
| 1980s | probably be next week rather than my |
| 1982s | initial pitch of or plan of of Friday |
| 1985s | just cuz we need to make sure we do a |
| 1986s | bit more uh tuning with with rewards and |
| 1989s | stuff especially the new uh the new area |
| 1994s | for the wand to go into uh let's have a |
| 1997s | look we're going to skip over this about |
| 2000s | the single source of the secondary |
| 2002s | because we sort of covered that with |
| 2003s | this uh one question though just |
| 2006s | to sort of fire cuz we didn't really |
| 2009s | make it clear in the blog is the prayer |
| 2012s | Rejuvenation potion a four dose and is |
| 2015s | it 8 minutes per dose or combined for |
| 2017s | all four |
| 2019s | doses it's four dose 8 minutes per |
| 2026s | dose there you go so I think it was and |
| 2028s | to answer the next question it doesn't |
| 2030s | stuck yeah it I think we said it yeah it |
| 2034s | would reset the timer so you can't you |
| 2036s | can't go in and drink a prayer |
| 2040s | Rejuvenation potion for your six- hour |
| 2041s | log |
| 2043s | timer and be ready for the whole thing |
| 2045s | it will just like reset the timer when |
| 2047s | you drink it again um so yeah cuz |
| 2051s | otherwise it feels a bit weird if uh why |
| 2054s | not that would be insane that would be |
| 2057s | insane you just drink this at the you |
| 2059s | drink like what I don't know like four |
| 2060s | preot potions as you log in and then you |
| 2063s | don't have to touch that potion again |
| 2065s | until you log in next like that's crazy |
| 2067s | that's crazy talk |
| 2070s | um all right let's go can you give |
| 2073s | confirmation I mean this this might not |
| 2075s | be one you can answer squid but can you |
| 2077s | give a confirmation whether or not you |
| 2079s | can pot share the new pre uh prayer |
| 2082s | Rejuvenation potion if not can it be |
| 2084s | considered to let us pot share |
| 2086s | it um you can't pot share prayer potions |
| 2090s | can |
| 2091s | you |
| 2093s | so I don't think you can put pray |
| 2095s | potions you can't do those then you |
| 2097s | probably can't do this apparently you |
| 2100s | can yeah oh wa you can po oh you can |
| 2105s | there you go okay I'm looking at the |
| 2106s | wrong pot |
| 2107s | share um oh never mind I'm looking at |
| 2110s | boosted pot share don't worry okay okay |
| 2112s | so maybe then yeah maybe boosted pot |
| 2114s | share would be |
| 2115s | insane yeah so possibly then possibly um |
| 2119s | I don't see why not |
| 2121s | then yeah have discussion about |
| 2124s | that yeah again I think we can uh |
| 2128s | yeah we'll have to again I think we'll |
| 2130s | have to balance it just to make sure |
| 2132s | it's not too overpowered but again if if |
| 2135s | the prayer pots are doing it then why |
| 2137s | not you know but again we'll see when |
| 2140s | we've we're going to balancing I will |
| 2142s | say just to sort of carry out this I |
| 2143s | know there was a lot of sort of |
| 2145s | conversation about when vmore launched |
| 2148s | and things that have changed during |
| 2151s | development and then didn't really get |
| 2152s | talked about until launch the plan is |
| 2156s | to um have |
| 2158s | probably The Gazette but have that use |
| 2162s | um like let you know about like things |
| 2165s | that have changed during development so |
| 2166s | you can sort of keep we can be a bit |
| 2168s | more uh open with you guys about like |
| 2171s | what's going on so it's the same thing |
| 2172s | with like uh process on like pot share |
| 2175s | not the pot share the preot device and |
| 2178s | elements of the herblore activity like |
| 2180s | we'll probably put that into the blog if |
| 2181s | any like major changes or how they're |
| 2183s | like used uh just so you guys can get |
| 2186s | more visibility on everything so |
| 2188s | um and we'll probably touch on this so |
| 2190s | if that changes at all then we'll |
| 2192s | probably add it to the Gazette so just |
| 2194s | keep that in mind if big things change |
| 2196s | we'll uh we'll we'll let you know um |
| 2199s | next question then uh will the new |
| 2201s | prayer potion have a certain interaction |
| 2204s | with a Holy |
| 2206s | wrench uh oh yeah we talked about this |
| 2208s | in the stages didn't we yeah it would |
| 2210s | make sense for it to get |
| 2213s | boosted yeah I was saying I like The |
| 2215s | Holy wrench it's a cool little niche |
| 2217s | item that doesn't get as much use I |
| 2219s | think is very cool um but I know a lot |
| 2223s | of people don't need to use it um cuz |
| 2226s | they're good at the game um so but it |
| 2229s | would nice it' be nice to have that use |
| 2231s | honestly so um we don't know how what |
| 2234s | the effect will like I don't know if |
| 2237s | it'll be like a straight effect that it |
| 2239s | will work yeah same way but need to look |
| 2242s | into that yeah so again it'll be another |
| 2244s | thing that we just we we'll speak to you |
| 2246s | about later on after if it get get if it |
| 2248s | gets through the pole um and how we go |
| 2250s | about doing that um cool so how do you |
| 2253s | see the prayer potions interacting with |
| 2256s | redemption in highend |
| 2259s | content so yeah I was have a look at |
| 2262s | this question I'm not not quite sure |
| 2264s | what the |
| 2266s | um the uh what they were thinking would |
| 2269s | the like what the interaction would be I |
| 2270s | mean it just gives you just restores |
| 2273s | prayer so you just have more prayer fast |
| 2279s | to then have Redemption proc um so I |
| 2281s | don't think there's any like particular |
| 2284s | special interaction unless I am missing |
| 2287s | something yeah I think it's I think it's |
| 2290s | a bit too slow to proc um it properly |
| 2293s | but maybe I'm Maybe I'm Wrong um I see |
| 2297s | fery as an example in their |
| 2299s | vular um again it will probably be |
| 2302s | something we just have to look into and |
| 2303s | make sure it's balanced correctly |
| 2305s | because again being able to I don't know |
| 2307s | if being able to proc |
| 2309s | Redemption hundreds of times in a |
| 2311s | sitting is a is a good thing if that is |
| 2314s | the case so you know it's kind of kind |
| 2317s | of crazy uh maybe that maybe that's a |
| 2320s | bad take for me I don't know but again I |
| 2322s | think it will be a case of |
| 2324s | just when it comes to balancing so just |
| 2328s | yeah bear that in |
| 2329s | mind yeah yeah there's something to for |
| 2332s | us to look at um but the the restore |
| 2334s | isn't that fast so |
| 2338s | yeah it's like especially it depend |
| 2340s | dependent on how quick your prayers are |
| 2342s | draining you as well it will matter like |
| 2346s | it will give the the the scale of |
| 2348s | difference in time to be able to use it |
| 2350s | will be greater or less depending on how |
| 2352s | quick your prayers are being |
| 2355s | yeated |
| 2356s | yeah um cool all right uh are there any |
| 2361s | other reward suggestions in the works |
| 2362s | now this is a very interesting question |
| 2366s | squid mhm what do you uh do do you want |
| 2369s | to talk about that a little bit yeah we |
| 2372s | did we did see um some discussion on on |
| 2376s | Reddit that we quite liked actually |
| 2378s | which was around uh a prayer ranging |
| 2382s | set um now initially |
| 2385s | we we weren't look we weren't doing like |
| 2388s | a range reward just because I thought |
| 2390s | you know range is used quite a lot it's |
| 2392s | fairly strong maybe we don't need to add |
| 2394s | more to that but the suggestion was |
| 2396s | really cool it seems fitting it's kind |
| 2398s | it's draconic now right so the scales |
| 2399s | could actually be used to make some |
| 2400s | armor so we were thinking um what about |
| 2404s | a slightly stronger as in more prayer |
| 2407s | bonus version of blessed God hiide bless |
| 2409s | Dragon hide um so you'd make it with |
| 2413s | hides from this |
| 2414s | boss and it would just be give you more |
| 2417s | prayer bonus compared to blessed Dragon |
| 2421s | hide yeah I think there's conversations |
| 2423s | to figure out how much accuracy and |
| 2426s | defense we want to give the this set |
| 2429s | just to see where it slots because range |
| 2433s | arm was a little bit weird I think when |
| 2435s | we were talk having those conversations |
| 2437s | and definitely like the jump up is not |
| 2439s | as considerably great as some of the |
| 2442s | other areas of the game I think um |
| 2445s | especially in certain slots like like |
| 2448s | head pieces definitely not that many |
| 2451s | great head pieces in terms of like the |
| 2453s | jump up so I think we're just going to |
| 2456s | have to balance how this where this set |
| 2461s | sits in terms of |
| 2464s | um like its placement I suppose is the |
| 2467s | the key thing for |
| 2469s | us yeah um yeah it's more to provide a |
| 2472s | decent prayer sort of lower level prayer |
| 2476s | option for ranged armor um rather than |
| 2479s | trying to like slot it in with a |
| 2480s | particular like uh particular accuracy |
| 2483s | or strength Gap because with the range |
| 2485s | progression there basically isn't one so |
| 2487s | more going off with the prayer side of |
| 2490s | things yeah yeah so again we again this |
| 2494s | is exactly why we're not coming out with |
| 2496s | like the updated blog tomorrow because |
| 2497s | we need to just like make sure these |
| 2500s | we've got on not just our numbers |
| 2502s | correct but make sure we're in line with |
| 2503s | exactly what we're doing with the |
| 2505s | rewards so we just thought that one was |
| 2508s | like the best alternative to a new |
| 2511s | reward that we saw in in terms of |
| 2513s | suggestions so we just want to you know |
| 2516s | make sure we're doing correctly uh and |
| 2519s | again we we can come out and you guys |
| 2521s | could hate it and then we go back with |
| 2523s | your feedback and and you know keep this |
| 2527s | consultation wield turning because |
| 2529s | that's what we want to do right that's |
| 2531s | what we're here for so um yeah hopefully |
| 2535s | you'll like it but if not like you know |
| 2537s | we'll we'll we'll go back yeah I see I |
| 2540s | see people saying you know what what if |
| 2541s | you upgraded God hide um the problem is |
| 2544s | they come from treasure trails and |
| 2546s | that's such a |
| 2548s | difficult space to be like oh yeah yeah |
| 2549s | you just need to go get bless godh um I |
| 2553s | Know M can buy it but even so treasure |
| 2555s | trails are just an odd place for that to |
| 2557s | come from especially if you need it to |
| 2558s | upgrade so yeah it's when we need to |
| 2561s | discuss more and see what you guys play |
| 2563s | B things it's it's interesting as well |
| 2566s | cuz like |
| 2567s | um I don't like they'll probably will |
| 2571s | they probably will be some element of |
| 2573s | like |
| 2573s | devaluing bless deide from that but |
| 2577s | bless the will also have it it's always |
| 2580s | going to have its place in God Wars |
| 2581s | dungeon being able to use it there and |
| 2583s | negate damage from |
| 2585s | X uh creatures when in there so it will |
| 2588s | sort of have its space but I don't know |
| 2590s | if that's like good enough so again it's |
| 2592s | like we need to make sure that where |
| 2595s | we're putting this armor still like |
| 2597s | helps things so you know again just just |
| 2601s | something to bear in mind we we're |
| 2602s | putting out on this stream for this |
| 2604s | specific reason so you know |
| 2609s | that's that's why we do |
| 2610s | these um cool all right uh next question |
| 2614s | then any chance this group boss could be |
| 2616s | tweaked to be next tier near impossible |
| 2618s | to solo hard-hitting group |
| 2621s | focused um no it's AED at mid level like |
| 2624s | the idea was to make a midlevel group |
| 2626s | boss um so like maybe another time we |
| 2630s | can make another high level group boss |
| 2632s | but this one's intended to be a little |
| 2634s | more |
| 2636s | accessible yeah I'm sorry for all you |
| 2638s | endgame players wanting some crazy stuff |
| 2641s | but also the crazy stuff takes a lot |
| 2642s | more time to balance properly so and you |
| 2645s | know we want to get some we want to have |
| 2647s | we want to have valmore in a place I |
| 2649s | think of like just just a lot going on |
| 2652s | but a lot of like good stuff rather than |
| 2653s | just loads of mess stuff and I think |
| 2657s | this is like I know we've got perilous |
| 2659s | moons and I know a lot of people are |
| 2660s | saying like we still we are we have |
| 2662s | perilous moons that offers that Med |
| 2664s | level content but I think that this is |
| 2667s | something that is you can do with |
| 2669s | friends that is a bit more interactive |
| 2671s | than perilous moons like perilous moons |
| 2673s | I think fits a really good place in that |
| 2676s | journey and now this will fit like |
| 2679s | another part of that Journey so and you |
| 2680s | have a bit of a choice as well while |
| 2682s | you're in valmore staying in the same |
| 2683s | place |
| 2685s | so um all right so next one can ironmen |
| 2689s | kill this in a group like next or |
| 2692s | nightmare uh yeah have to make an |
| 2695s | instance um on join the public one yes |
| 2698s | sorry this is man yeah yeah it be like |
| 2700s | next |
| 2701s | yeah yeah so if you don't want people |
| 2703s | coming in and ruining your prestige just |
| 2705s | turn private off on your friends and |
| 2708s | synchronize with them properly so no one |
| 2710s | crashes your |
| 2712s | uh your |
| 2714s | instance um all right so what other loot |
| 2718s | can we expect on the drop table will |
| 2720s | bless bone shards or Sunfire splinters |
| 2722s | be on the boss's drop |
| 2724s | table uh yeah we were talking about |
| 2726s | having both of them on there um bless |
| 2728s | bones and probably some fire shards to a |
| 2732s | suitable extent for the |
| 2736s | level y yeah so we're not going to it's |
| 2739s | probably not going to be as as good to |
| 2741s | do as Coliseum but it'll be like a a |
| 2745s | fair amount that you know you can get |
| 2747s | just there MH um all right uh next one |
| 2752s | does the group boss retaliate while |
| 2753s | attacking it on its different parts |
| 2755s | while scaling the mountain or is |
| 2756s | fighting these part similar to killing |
| 2758s | hisp plants or skizo alters for instance |
| 2761s | so no |
| 2763s | retaliation um I mean obviously it's |
| 2765s | still early days of implantation and |
| 2767s | testing but the idea at the moment is |
| 2770s | they don't retaliate uh you just hit |
| 2772s | them while dealing with the other |
| 2773s | mechanics that the boss is doing yeah so |
| 2777s | attacking them directly will be fine |
| 2779s | like they won't like hit you back but |
| 2782s | you I'm guessing the the motorbike Was |
| 2785s | Heard by so |
| 2790s | um yeah so the the the the parts itself |
| 2794s | you're attacking are um they won't hit |
| 2797s | you back directly but you will need to |
| 2799s | deal with some other things uh while |
| 2802s | you're running around and doing stuff so |
| 2804s | you know just keep that in mind I I |
| 2807s | think I mentioned twice in the blog |
| 2808s | protection |
| 2811s | prayers they are they are required so |
| 2814s | make sure that you you come prepared um |
| 2817s | all right does the Dwarven priest |
| 2819s | require protection from the player |
| 2821s | during the boss fight will the fa Will |
| 2822s | you fail the encounter if the priest |
| 2825s | dies uh no you don't need to worry about |
| 2827s | protecting the priest the priest is |
| 2828s | there to help you um they can take care |
| 2831s | of |
| 2832s | themselves yeah this isn't a uh this |
| 2835s | isn't an escort Mission uh cuz everyone |
| 2838s | hates escort missions so we're not |
| 2840s | putting that in there for you so don't |
| 2842s | worry the dwarves can handle themselves |
| 2844s | they've been handling themselves for |
| 2845s | hundreds of years they're just leave |
| 2848s | them to their thing so don't |
| 2850s | worry um all right next question then |
| 2854s | will we need to bring our pickaxes with |
| 2855s | us as we Embark with this Dwarven |
| 2858s | party uh no you won't need to bring a |
| 2860s | pickaxe there's no like skilly |
| 2862s | bits you're all good yeah just you know |
| 2867s | get rid of the boss's parts or at least |
| 2869s | like I what was what was I say in the |
| 2872s | Discord stage is called tigle tigle the |
| 2874s | parts away until oh yeah that's right |
| 2877s | tickle yeah give it a little tickle with |
| 2879s | your with your weapons until it moves |
| 2881s | and then go out from face the head so I |
| 2883s | I I want I want to mention this actually |
| 2884s | I saw a lot of people saying like oh is |
| 2886s | it going to be like duke or um oh what |
| 2890s | was the other one that that I saw sort |
| 2893s | of like in that prep phase where you |
| 2894s | just like oh you have to do this I think |
| 2896s | it's on play testing it's like more |
| 2900s | active than I think like Juke prep phas |
| 2903s | is it's like part of the fight it feels |
| 2905s | like part of the fight rather than prep |
| 2907s | so I wouldn't worry too much about |
| 2910s | that yeah that's what we're going for we |
| 2912s | shouldn't feel like a like a prep thing |
| 2915s | that's like separate to the actual fight |
| 2917s | you are fighting |
| 2919s | stuff yeah exactly exactly uh all right |
| 2923s | here we go because I've seen this pop up |
| 2925s | multiple times but we didn't say in the |
| 2928s | blog but I'll add it to the updated blog |
| 2930s | will this boss have a pet |
| 2932s | squid yes it |
| 2936s | will yeah yes yes it will uh We've I |
| 2940s | mentioned this on the stages I've seen |
| 2942s | some concept art and there are two |
| 2943s | versions of the pet at the moment and |
| 2945s | I'm I'm still leaning |
| 2947s | towards the spinny concept A version |
| 2950s | because I kind of like that just because |
| 2951s | of how Derpy it is um but we'll see |
| 2955s | we'll see what we |
| 2957s | get um right okay uh will there be a |
| 2960s | quest needed into uh unlock the |
| 2963s | boss probably not um |
| 2968s | then we may maybe could add a quest |
| 2970s | later to sort of introduce more stuff |
| 2972s | but probably initially there won't be a |
| 2973s | quest at least definitely not gating |
| 2978s | it oh okay you can |
| 2981s | hit they know now they know now I've now |
| 2984s | I've now I've looked at them they know |
| 2986s | what they're doing these birds outside |
| 2990s | um all right so the next one is how do |
| 2992s | loot rolls work are there individual |
| 2995s | drops um we need to iron out the |
| 2998s | specifics um but we're basing off the |
| 3001s | next system um so there'll be loot |
| 3004s | distributed based on |
| 3006s | contribution |
| 3008s | um yeah but we need to sort |
| 3011s | of can't get any more detailed at the |
| 3013s | moment we want it to be fair you know we |
| 3015s | want people to feel like they're getting |
| 3017s | they're getting drops for for um their |
| 3020s | contribution and we also there's the |
| 3021s | question of like well it's a mid-level |
| 3023s | boss so what if a few high levels come |
| 3024s | in and just absolutely blast it and |
| 3026s | they're going to steal the for everyone |
| 3027s | else you know that doesn't feel very |
| 3028s | fair either so there's some there's some |
| 3030s | things to figure out |
| 3033s | there yeah yeah we're going to try and |
| 3035s | make it like a nice middle ground that |
| 3036s | is not like you know high level can just |
| 3038s | come in and just be like yo this is our |
| 3040s | turf now so it's midle bus it's for |
| 3044s | everybody that can do it you know um all |
| 3049s | right so next question then is do you |
| 3052s | have the boss kind of designed to be |
| 3054s | sight red similar to scaras and AKA not |
| 3057s | needing to pre-read the wiki and the |
| 3060s | sorts and having to pre-prep nonsense |
| 3062s | like recoils or stamas or antifire or |
| 3066s | poisons uh yeah yeah it's intended to |
| 3069s | sort of go in you can learn it or from |
| 3071s | what you're looking at um the hidden |
| 3073s | stuff to to Wiki and figure out |
| 3076s | um there's some mechanics in there that |
| 3078s | would be familiar to this sort this |
| 3080s | level player and a few things that will |
| 3082s | be new that I used later on um to sort |
| 3086s | of get comfortable with |
| 3087s | but nothing like yeah no no uh obscure |
| 3091s | stuff I I see a thing in uh in in chat |
| 3095s | about how difficult the mechanics will |
| 3097s | be |
| 3099s | um I will say and maybe disagree squid |
| 3103s | but I will say it's probably on par with |
| 3107s | perilous moons aside from the blood |
| 3112s | moon so I feel like blood moon is a |
| 3114s | little bit little bit more higher |
| 3120s | yeah yeah that's probably fair I mean |
| 3122s | there might be there's maybe a little |
| 3124s | more to watch out for but not so |
| 3127s | like um accurate click intensive I |
| 3131s | guess the way do it cuz like we're going |
| 3135s | for that like social group field you |
| 3136s | know when it's a solo boss you really |
| 3138s | just kind of really focus you be super |
| 3140s | intense we want this to be a little bit |
| 3141s | more um |
| 3143s | chill um yeah and I see it's also people |
| 3147s | asking about you know solos and stuff |
| 3149s | there are mechanics that we're |
| 3150s | experimenting with at the moment that |
| 3153s | are just make everything cleaner and |
| 3156s | faster in a larger group um so you |
| 3159s | technically can solo it but you're |
| 3161s | better off with |
| 3162s | people yeah there's part there's there's |
| 3164s | things that we purposely emitted from |
| 3168s | the blog because one we didn't want to |
| 3170s | give it away and two we think it'd be |
| 3172s | interesting for you guys to figure it |
| 3175s | out when it |
| 3177s | launches because I don't think we've |
| 3179s | done anything like that before squid no |
| 3183s | we'll |
| 3184s | see see how it goes |
| 3187s | down so yeah again that's what exactly |
| 3190s | why we emitted it from the Block because |
| 3192s | we want to make it a bit more like on |
| 3193s | launch day you can come in and try and |
| 3195s | figure out what exactly you need to do |
| 3198s | so yeah uh where do you see this boss |
| 3200s | fitting into progression for an account |
| 3203s | mid game like Zora or VF |
| 3207s | um I remember the |
| 3210s | numbers |
| 3211s | um yeah it's kind of around that it's |
| 3214s | like people they've got you know got |
| 3217s | fire C with stepping into some more |
| 3219s | serious bossing um it's not super |
| 3223s | crazy um so it's |
| 3227s | like one of your first big |
| 3230s | bosses I like one of our first big |
| 3232s | bosses after Jad I kind of like that |
| 3236s | yeah yeah and you can do it with friends |
| 3238s | which is quite nice you know do it with |
| 3240s | friends or uh other players I would say |
| 3243s | you know other players yeah I think I |
| 3246s | think the group part that changes the |
| 3247s | like the vibe quite a bit I think um you |
| 3250s | know when we talk about difficulty and |
| 3252s | stuff like that when you've got at this |
| 3254s | level content when you've got solo |
| 3257s | bosses you can kind of really make |
| 3259s | people focus up for a bit and you you're |
| 3261s | just the only person there you can |
| 3262s | really focus on yourself and what you're |
| 3263s | doing um with the group one we kind of |
| 3265s | want to make it a little bit more |
| 3267s | social a little bit more |
| 3270s | uh a nice thing to see other people you |
| 3272s | want to hop into the open world one you |
| 3273s | don't just want to make a instance |
| 3275s | version um so we don't want it to be |
| 3277s | like too too intense to focus on we want |
| 3280s | those you know period where you can like |
| 3283s | oh yeah I'm with people can maybe have a |
| 3284s | chat or something um while also having |
| 3288s | those boss mechanics that are G to you |
| 3290s | know want to get better at and can |
| 3293s | progress through yeah I think it's quite |
| 3295s | nice having that option to do something |
| 3296s | bit more chill especially after if you |
| 3298s | have done Jad for the first time and |
| 3300s | obviously everyone knows Jad hands when |
| 3302s | you first do uh it firstate your fire C |
| 3306s | just doing Jad in general um and then |
| 3309s | coming out of that and not having to |
| 3311s | feel that intenseness again straight |
| 3315s | away is quite nice um I think having |
| 3318s | that option at least is I think a good a |
| 3320s | good Avenue to go down you know and you |
| 3322s | just get yeah like someone saying Jad so |
| 3325s | easy yes but you've also got to remember |
| 3328s | riddle Riddle Box I think that's how you |
| 3330s | pronounced your name like not everyone |
| 3332s | is where you might be at in your PBM |
| 3335s | journey and for people coming in and |
| 3338s | that are doing J for the first time it |
| 3340s | might it especially because I think |
| 3342s | scaras lends a bit more to it now |
| 3344s | because that journey is a bit more there |
| 3346s | but realistically before scaras there |
| 3348s | was nothing that sort of set you up to |
| 3350s | do Jad properly honestly like it's the |
| 3353s | first time you're properly effectively |
| 3355s | switch in um |
| 3357s | prayers and you know and you've also got |
| 3360s | 60 oh God 63 waves I might be wrong in |
| 3363s | that 60 plus waves to do before you get |
| 3365s | to the Jad so it's quite intense |
| 3367s | especially for your first big it could |
| 3369s | be your first big boss so like you know |
| 3372s | it's just something to keep in mind that |
| 3374s | um you know it's fair if you find Jad |
| 3377s | easy but not everyone finds Jad easy |
| 3378s | especially if they're doing it for the |
| 3379s | first time you know so like I think it's |
| 3381s | good to have this balance of like one |
| 3384s | it' be optional and two not everything |
| 3385s | needs to be that intense |
| 3388s | yep um cool so um is the boss and we'll |
| 3393s | just touch on this again because it was |
| 3395s | the first question but is the boss weak |
| 3396s | to Dragon Bane weapons it is |
| 3400s | now uh yeah it's draconic now so it will |
| 3404s | be yeah it is draconic now so yes you |
| 3408s | can it will you can hit it with dragon |
| 3410s | Bane and it will probably hurt it quite |
| 3412s | a bit so uh yeah we again we're not |
| 3415s | going to say how much but you know you |
| 3416s | know and again if anyone missed it at |
| 3419s | the start the new weapon will |
| 3421s | be is now going to be have a dragon Bane |
| 3424s | on it it's it's not the previous |
| 3426s | iteration of the weapon it's going to be |
| 3428s | uh a dragon Bane weapon Mage weapon in |
| 3431s | fact which I think is the first we've |
| 3433s | done yeah yeah I think it it is it is |
| 3436s | it's an interesting one um there's some |
| 3438s | tuning and tweaking to do there but yeah |
| 3442s | cool yeah exactly nice all right uh I'm |
| 3446s | just going to have a quick look at |
| 3447s | twitch chat squid just see if there's |
| 3448s | any uh any questions that we haven't |
| 3453s | touched upon uh but how you felt the |
| 3456s | stream was gone while I look look |
| 3458s | through this apart from all the tech |
| 3460s | issues yeah yeah that's crazy I don't |
| 3462s | know what went on them but we're good um |
| 3465s | yeah no it's cool I like seeing all the |
| 3469s | uh the reactions immediately to just how |
| 3471s | about this boom boom boom um yeah we |
| 3475s | need to get some more feedback but it's |
| 3478s | looking kind of good I think yeah I |
| 3480s | think it's quite nice that we can just |
| 3481s | sort of like give you guys the |
| 3482s | opportunity to hear our thoughts |
| 3484s | directly from after like we only had the |
| 3487s | the feedback meeting today because of |
| 3488s | yesterday's game update was so chunky so |
| 3492s | um and again hence why we're not rushing |
| 3494s | the feedback updated version of the blog |
| 3497s | until next week now um because we want |
| 3500s | to take our time so uh I'll wrap up |
| 3503s | everything at the end but I want to I |
| 3505s | want to ask one question will there be |
| 3507s | any new cosmetic kits from this boss for |
| 3509s | example a new Slayer helmet with the |
| 3510s | feathers or a kit for the magic outfit |
| 3512s | with dragon |
| 3514s | scales yeah Cosmetics would be really |
| 3517s | cool it looks so good that we could make |
| 3518s | some really cool cosmetic stuff um we |
| 3521s | need to explore exactly what um but yeah |
| 3524s | I would really like to have some |
| 3525s | Cosmetics from this whatever shape that |
| 3528s | may |
| 3528s | take what would be kind of cool and hear |
| 3532s | me out this is this is sort of going |
| 3534s | away from Cosmetics but what if we had a |
| 3537s | transmog option on the group boss that |
| 3540s | gave you the perilous |
| 3542s | moons |
| 3545s | bosses so he could use something from |
| 3547s | perilous moons to transmog the |
| 3550s | uh the |
| 3552s | pet oh I see the pet pet transmogs |
| 3556s | volore pet yeah so cuz I know there was |
| 3560s | there was ideas floating around about |
| 3562s | maybe there is you know have the FRS I |
| 3566s | think was transm for the FRS as the par |
| 3568s | moves which I also think is sick as like |
| 3570s | super sick that's pretty cool |
| 3572s | yeah um so I don't know maybe |
| 3577s | maybe um we'll see again cosmetic stuff |
| 3580s | though I think that's something we'll |
| 3581s | probably |
| 3582s | decide later on once we've hashed out |
| 3585s | all the details for the new new stuff um |
| 3588s | that we want to want to |
| 3591s | change awesome cool right so I'm just |
| 3594s | going to quickly go through the bits |
| 3595s | that we touched upon on uh earlier I |
| 3598s | need my notes cuz they're not in the |
| 3599s | script this is sort of |
| 3601s | freehand uh right so the 10 changes |
| 3604s | we're making just to make it very very |
| 3607s | clear one we're making the boss dronic |
| 3609s | so weak to Dragon Bone weapons we're |
| 3611s | reworking the drooling wand so the |
| 3613s | buil-in spell is being removed it's |
| 3615s | being cut down well cut down changed to |
| 3619s | a five tick weapon that can AutoCast |
| 3621s | from the standard spell book and it's |
| 3622s | going to be given Dragon Bane so it will |
| 3624s | be the first magic b Dragon Bane weapon |
| 3628s | comes from the boss there will be a new |
| 3631s | lot of rewards which is prayer ranged |
| 3634s | armor that will give a better prayer |
| 3637s | bonus than bless dehy we're still |
| 3639s | working out the details of exactly where |
| 3641s | it fits but just want to make that very |
| 3643s | clear um we're going to rename the to of |
| 3646s | Earth pages to something else again |
| 3648s | probably not sword Pages not be fan of |
| 3651s | that uh that name myself uh then we're |
| 3654s | going to create a new her which the seed |
| 3657s | only drops from the boss and then the |
| 3659s | new herb and the secondary from The |
| 3661s | herbl Guild will be used to create the |
| 3663s | prayer um Rejuvenation pot uh we're |
| 3667s | adding Sunfire splinters and bless bones |
| 3668s | to the drop table so that is the summary |
| 3673s | of all the changes that we want to make |
| 3675s | I don't think I missed anything out |
| 3676s | squid but please feel free to jump in if |
