| 1s | foreign |
|---|---|
| 4s | and Welcome to our very first live |
| 6s | stream of 2023. today I'm joined by mod |
| 10s | Bruno |
| 12s | say hello |
| 13s | oh Rod Bruno's muted that's a good start |
| 15s | odd Arcane I am |
| 18s | hello |
| 19s | hey and also my job welcome everyone |
| 23s | hello |
| 24s | we're here to talk about secrets of the |
| 26s | north so I guess I probably should have |
| 28s | also asked how you were doing when you |
| 30s | said hi but it's fine lots of nothing |
| 31s | like a bit of an awkward introduction |
| 33s | let's start with you okay in top right |
| 34s | corner how are you doing today |
| 36s | yeah pretty good pretty tired |
| 39s | um new year new me or Shenanigans trying |
| 41s | to actually go to the gym for the first |
| 44s | time and I wanted to start two-way |
| 46s | development I don't know however long |
| 48s | oh well that's a different process |
| 52s | yeah just trying to |
| 53s | move my body a little bit and not be as |
| 55s | much as degenerate as I have been for |
| 57s | the first year or so |
| 58s | so nothing's awesome |
| 61s | it is it is trying to be healthy is |
| 63s | tiring I can definitely attest to that |
| 65s | how about yourself Bruno how are you |
| 66s | doing today |
| 67s | uh yeah I'm doing good not bad anymore |
| 70s | um being very much looking forward to |
| 72s | this update it's been pretty good so far |
| 74s | uh the research has been good obviously |
| 76s | I'm very happy |
| 78s | awesome your hands nice and warm now |
| 80s | ready for uh yeah |
| 82s | very good and uh mod Jeff how about |
| 85s | yourself how are you doing today |
| 88s | first week back |
| 95s | up awesome well we'll get to see a |
| 96s | little bit of the things that you were |
| 98s | drawing at least in a little while and |
| 100s | we also have some fun in store today |
| 102s | stream as mod Bruno will be here to show |
| 104s | you how to solo the brand new repeatable |
| 107s | boss from secret to the north the |
| 108s | Phantom Mustafa I hope I'm pronouncing |
| 110s | that right if not well that's Canon now |
| 112s | so before we get into it there are some |
| 114s | announcements that we've got to get |
| 115s | through I'm going to be speaking for a |
| 117s | little while so uh get used to my voice |
| 119s | I've got a big section to go through |
| 120s | that mud lighters Army puts together for |
| 122s | me |
| 123s | um but first of all exclamation mark |
| 125s | s-o-t-n or exclamation Market game |
| 128s | update will give you information about |
| 129s | this week's game update which is in |
| 132s | regards to the martial arts storyline |
| 133s | continuing so unravel the secrets of the |
| 136s | north and take on an otherworldly boss |
| 138s | in this brand new Master Quest we also |
| 141s | have a whole host of other changes this |
| 142s | week so check them out with exclamation |
| 144s | mark game updates |
| 145s | we normally would start our streams off |
| 147s | with a sneak peek of the week but we |
| 149s | don't have anything that we want to show |
| 150s | off for next week so instead we thought |
| 152s | it would take some time to talk about |
| 154s | fairy rings just a little bit we |
| 157s | obviously made a change recently which |
| 159s | brought the beam with butterflies to |
| 161s | help with the increased clickbox size |
| 163s | and there's been a bit of polarized |
| 165s | polarized feedback in regards to the |
| 168s | introduction of this new theme so what |
| 171s | we wanted to just talk about was that |
| 173s | next week's game update will primarily |
| 175s | be tweaks and improvements to secular |
| 176s | secrets of the north following player |
| 178s | feedback |
| 179s | um we're going to talk about this a |
| 181s | little bit just to kind of put things |
| 182s | into perspective as to why the change |
| 183s | came about and uh what we can do about |
| 185s | it we know obviously feedback has been |
| 187s | pretty mixed so far so let's talk about |
| 190s | why we did what we did and what's |
| 192s | happening next following your feedback |
| 193s | so first of all the main reason that |
| 195s | we've made a change to fairings is |
| 197s | because we see many players especially |
| 198s | those on mobile requesting a way to make |
| 200s | the click boxes more user-friendly |
| 203s | now Ferry ring is obviously useful for |
| 205s | teleporting around gilinore so in order |
| 207s | to prove their usability we want to |
| 209s | ensure all types of players including |
| 211s | those who frequently use it on mobile |
| 212s | have a good time with them the problem |
| 215s | is that there are a few technical |
| 216s | limitations on how we can actually |
| 217s | increase the clickable area of the fairy |
| 220s | rings as is because of the way they've |
| 221s | been designed and coded now we know that |
| 224s | players believe this is not the case but |
| 226s | we can ensure you there's a very |
| 227s | technical reason why we can't just |
| 228s | increase the clickboxes of all fairy |
| 230s | rings so the easiest way for the devs to |
| 233s | have implemented it and improved on this |
| 235s | was to just add this extra beam click |
| 237s | box that you can see here in the middle |
| 239s | which is entirely clickable |
| 241s | now we obviously appreciate that the |
| 243s | feedback we've seen some of you said it |
| 244s | looks a little bit jarring a little bit |
| 245s | out of place because Fair rings they're |
| 247s | supposed to be mysterious rather than |
| 249s | right there in your face which this can |
| 251s | be perceived as a little bit we're also |
| 253s | aware that in hindsight we should have |
| 254s | at least given you the heads up to leave |
| 255s | feedback on the design before it was |
| 257s | implemented |
| 258s | but in general we just want to iterate |
| 261s | that we do need to find a suitable |
| 262s | solution that works for everyone |
| 263s | including those who have difficulty |
| 265s | using very Rings generally whether it's |
| 266s | on desktop or mobile |
| 269s | um so we're going to be exploring what |
| 271s | we can do to tone down the effects by |
| 273s | speaking with our art team and we'll |
| 275s | share any updates with you some |
| 276s | suggestions that we've seen is to leave |
| 278s | the butterflies in effect but remove the |
| 280s | actual Light Beam itself so the clickbox |
| 282s | is still there but it's not as obvious |
| 283s | just a few little cute butterflies |
| 285s | flying around but we'll have a look at |
| 287s | what we can do and let you know as soon |
| 289s | as possible so keep an eye out for |
| 291s | updates on that but that was our sneak |
| 293s | peek of the week we've got some uh more |
| 296s | art things to talk about which is why |
| 297s | we've got mod drove here so I'll hand |
| 299s | over to our very own modjob to talk |
| 301s | about some of the art that was involved |
| 304s | with the secrets of the north I think |
| 306s | this is the first image of almost for |
| 308s | concept art so take it away what are we |
| 310s | seeing here |
| 311s | cool and this is the mosfa yeah so this |
| 314s | is my first bus to sign that I've ever |
| 317s | done for old school |
| 318s | um and I definitely learned a lot from |
| 320s | it I think |
| 321s | it was hard to know what goes into a |
| 323s | design at such a big scale and how I |
| 326s | work with huge shifts when we don't even |
| 327s | have all the colors in the engine |
| 330s | and it was hard to make but most of them |
| 332s | did a very good job on the modeling |
| 334s | um even with some missing bits of my |
| 336s | Concepts and mod hand was this was his |
| 339s | first task in animation and he did a |
| 341s | very good job on conveying the creepy |
| 343s | Twisted feel of the Muska |
| 345s | so I'm just going to say spoiler alert |
| 347s | if you haven't played the quest because |
| 349s | I'll talk a bit about like why I made |
| 351s | the design choices for this |
| 353s | uh |
| 354s | so it turns out that this was Jalan and |
| 358s | he transformed into it while he was |
| 359s | having a nightmare about Ma and her |
| 362s | creations of the masbah that um |
| 365s | she manifested in her dreams so |
| 369s | I wanted to really communicate the whole |
| 371s | nightmarish feel and the vividness of |
| 373s | dreams so I kind of took the grubby |
| 376s | disgusting |
| 377s | feel of a nightmare and kind of combine |
| 380s | that and twisted it into like some |
| 382s | depictions we have of ma in past years |
| 386s | and try to put that together in one |
| 388s | design and I wanted to be like not |
| 390s | necessarily a cool boss but like a |
| 393s | interesting bus that's you look at it |
| 396s | and you get uncomfortable and you think |
| 397s | ew what the hell is that and I think I |
| 400s | saw a few reactions on the stream when |
| 402s | it released what the hell was that and I |
| 405s | think I succeeded in that um |
| 408s | so yeah on the next uh slide you can see |
| 411s | the model that software made which is |
| 414s | really cool it's very well done it was |
| 417s | hard to find the colors for this because |
| 419s | we don't have all the colors but I think |
| 421s | we got there in the end |
| 423s | I really think we did |
| 426s | it looks awesome the feedback on the bus |
| 428s | itself and the design has been really |
| 430s | really amazing to see so definitely |
| 432s | smashed out the park as always thank you |
| 434s | thank you I was nervous to see the |
| 436s | feedback since it was my first boss but |
| 438s | I think people are freaked out by it |
| 441s | which is great so |
| 444s | uh we can look into the rewards now you |
| 446s | want to go on the next one so I decide |
| 448s | both the rewards I think um |
| 451s | it's both sorosium or ancient |
| 454s | um inspired uh the bow which is a rapid |
| 458s | fire bow which uses charged shots I |
| 461s | wanted to convey the magic elements of |
| 463s | it so I was kind of Imagining the bow |
| 465s | takes on some shape language of the |
| 468s | ancient symbol which you can kind of see |
| 470s | in the shape of the bow itself and then |
| 472s | like the bits at the end I was imagining |
| 475s | pulled some kind of ancient magic or |
| 478s | magic in the very tips of it and that's |
| 480s | where the bow string is attached giving |
| 482s | that some kind of magic so it's kind of |
| 484s | having fun with the functioning of the |
| 486s | bow and how that would work out and then |
| 488s | modwest made a really cool stance for |
| 491s | the bow which I think is quite awesome |
| 493s | um |
| 494s | and for the scepter it's an upgrade of |
| 498s | the ancient stuff and |
| 500s | I saw some comments on it not being long |
| 502s | enough it's a scepter uh those are a bit |
| 505s | shorter so that's why it's not as short |
| 508s | but not as long so I tried to make the |
| 511s | shape language of this one be a bit more |
| 512s | aggressive with the kind of spikes and |
| 514s | open feel of it and while now it might |
| 517s | not look as impressive I the most I |
| 520s | could say is just like |
| 522s | you know wait a bit and have a bit of |
| 525s | faith in the design because I was I |
| 528s | designed it with some further expansions |
| 529s | in mind |
| 531s | um also there was some feedback on how |
| 533s | it's held in game which is quite |
| 535s | vertical |
| 536s | um we're looking into this now and it |
| 539s | will be tilted like the hammer on |
| 541s | Scepter so it will be held more in a |
| 543s | natural way as well um so you can see |
| 545s | the models on the next frame |
| 550s | oh there we go so that's uh what West's |
| 553s | school stands for the for the bow |
| 556s | and we got someone casting a spell with |
| 559s | a scepter done by modsofan on the right |
| 563s | um |
| 564s | so yeah that's that's those |
| 568s | they look awesome we have got two |
| 571s | questions if it's okay to keep you just |
| 572s | to go through them quickly Jeff that |
| 574s | were uh here listed for you and the |
| 576s | first one is that our players love the |
| 578s | teleport effect Hazel and kazad have we |
| 581s | will be seeing more unique effects |
| 582s | implemented there's a bunch of telephone |
| 584s | items that would benefit from having |
| 585s | their own unique animations for example |
| 588s | but I agree with that a lot I think that |
| 590s | was mod ghost who played around with |
| 592s | that he had a lot of fun with uh like uh |
| 595s | smoke clouds and he also used it for the |
| 598s | um |
| 599s | for the Assassin and it looked really |
| 602s | cool it's like it fades into |
| 605s | one of the NPCs and then disappears and |
| 608s | that |
| 609s | I think as long as we've had a lot of |
| 611s | time to play around with things lately |
| 613s | in the art team so we definitely have |
| 614s | more fun with spending more times on |
| 617s | small things like this so I'm hoping |
| 620s | we can put more of a budget into more |
| 622s | great crazy teleport Solutions |
| 626s | yeah awesome I think many players would |
| 628s | be excited for that just in general |
| 630s | animations and design has been uh insane |
| 633s | at least I think personally and we see |
| 634s | that through feedback so fingers crossed |
| 636s | there is more to see uh last question is |
| 639s | um quite simply what was your favorite |
| 640s | part of this to design |
| 642s | I think so the maharat storyline has a |
| 645s | lot of lore in this and |
| 649s | I wouldn't I think the most fun part was |
| 652s | trying to get all that lore into a |
| 654s | design not to obviously but a bit subtly |
| 657s | and not too on the nose and I think the |
| 660s | challenge of trying to make something |
| 663s | a good design while still having so many |
| 665s | small lore elements uh in the design was |
| 668s | the fun part of it I'd say definitely |
| 672s | okay awesome all right thank you so much |
| 675s | well that's uh all the art stuff we have |
| 677s | now uh for now at least thank you so |
| 678s | much for joining us on Joe and giving |
| 679s | you Insight really appreciate it great |
| 681s | job for yourself and the rest of the |
| 683s | team |
| 684s | um let's have a look at the boss in |
| 686s | action shall we and uh and see how it |
| 688s | plays out with all of those animations |
| 690s | and and the uh the design that we were |
| 692s | talking about I think Bruno if you're |
| 693s | ready you can look to take it down and |
| 695s | we'll say farewell to modular for now |
| 697s | and uh hopefully see you again in |
| 699s | another live stream |
| 700s | so thank you for having me |
| 705s | awesome all right so |
| 708s | um Bruno I am gonna let you take over on |
| 711s | this you can talk about whatever you |
| 712s | want to talk about you can tell players |
| 714s | about what it is that you're doing maybe |
| 715s | explain some things or just not and |
| 717s | focus on PDM and maybe Arcane can do |
| 718s | some shout casting how about that |
| 721s | you're over there I'll probably try and |
| 723s | focus too much on the bus but yeah I'm |
| 725s | ready for a play-by-play arcane |
| 729s | not really for sure I'll try |
| 731s | let's hop on in |
| 736s | garak dungeon |
| 739s | oh you looked out with range face first |
| 741s | didn't have to worry about resetting |
| 742s | let's see how it is |
| 744s | here he is with a Max gear minus Shadow |
| 747s | a really showcase into the masses how |
| 750s | easy it is moderate gear |
| 756s | I know yeah I think uh so the boss has |
| 758s | got a couple of different phases so it's |
| 759s | swapped from range to mate range to |
| 762s | melee |
| 763s | and now he's using ancients to freeze it |
| 765s | so it's a bit more chill I know some |
| 766s | people like to use the arcade spell |
| 768s | books and his trolls is really good you |
| 770s | can use corruption word of our chaos |
| 772s | there's quite a few interesting utility |
| 773s | spells on there our kids well book but |
| 777s | esperology is kind of just a classic and |
| 779s | does make the Molly phase quite chill |
| 781s | for sure phases |
| 784s | I was just gonna say if players haven't |
| 787s | seen it yet we have really some feedback |
| 789s | changes today for the musper and parts |
| 792s | of Secrets of the north so make sure we |
| 794s | check out yesterday's game update News |
| 796s | Post one of them was to just make the |
| 798s | ice spells a little bit more accurate in |
| 800s | terms of their freezing and I think |
| 801s | you're seeing the benefits of that now |
| 802s | with um Bruno not really having to worry |
| 805s | about too much about them splashing |
| 806s | which is nice to see |
| 809s | yeah I think that's quite an interesting |
| 810s | topic within itself it's like you don't |
| 813s | really generally feel that bad if you |
| 816s | miss with like a sanguine St or a try |
| 819s | you hit a zero you move on with your |
| 820s | life same with twister bow or a melee |
| 822s | like if you hit a lot of zeros in a row |
| 824s | it'll start to get a little bit |
| 826s | but a one-off zero with a song or |
| 828s | whatever whatever it doesn't really |
| 829s | matter too much but when you like open |
| 831s | your Spellbook and you click on Ice |
| 832s | barrage and then you click on the boss |
| 834s | and then you squash it's just so |
| 835s | infuriating like that level of |
| 837s | frustration is so much higher so I do |
| 840s | think it's worth investigating the idea |
| 841s | of maybe some free spells having |
| 843s | slightly higher accuracy maybe just for |
| 845s | the freeze component or something like |
| 847s | that but for now we've changed it so ice |
| 850s | barrage and other free skulls aren't |
| 851s | slightly more accurate for the first |
| 853s | time when you uh use it on the muscle to |
| 856s | alleviate that frustration make it a bit |
| 858s | more reliable of the strategy |
| 861s | awesome well you seem to be splashing a |
| 863s | little bit now that Max gear is not |
| 864s | helping out as much as you'd hoped over |
| 865s | you know oh yeah God bring him back here |
| 868s | he is there we go we got the freeze he's |
| 870s | fine so we got this |
| 874s | so I know this girl's about to be over |
| 876s | relatively quickly maybe we uh we do one |
| 878s | more afterwards but could you maybe just |
| 880s | explain some of the extra mechanics that |
| 881s | are coming out for those that probably |
| 883s | haven't seen the marketing |
| 884s | yeah sure |
| 887s | so right now we're on the second to last |
| 889s | phase so he turns on his prayer shield |
| 891s | and you'll see that some people have |
| 893s | opted to use things like Sapphire bolts |
| 895s | since they can drain uh the prayers the |
| 897s | monster's prayer level or you can use |
| 900s | Smite so you can have flick Smite onto a |
| 902s | drain a monster's prayer level or a |
| 904s | prayer step |
| 905s | or an ancient Maze and there's a couple |
| 907s | of other ways of draining prior I think |
| 909s | a lot of players are defaulted to the |
| 910s | sapphire bolts right now since they do |
| 912s | quite a lot of damage |
| 913s | then towards the end of the fight like |
| 915s | we are now there's just a bit of a DPS |
| 917s | check in terms of like the fights just |
| 919s | the arena is just getting smaller and |
| 920s | smaller with all this fight |
| 922s | Stacks a little bit faster |
| 927s | a single piece of food I'm sick |
| 936s | a little bit but you know |
| 942s | it's all right it's the pressure of |
| 943s | being live on a stream all right we can |
| 944s | we can do one more then because it's |
| 945s | quite a fast kills and as you did Gear |
| 947s | Up in pretty much Max |
| 949s | it was three minutes not too fast I'm |
| 951s | missing a few bits inside homes like I |
| 953s | don't have um masary or anything like |
| 955s | that |
| 956s | oh no |
| 961s | yeah |
| 963s | the whole one DPS |
| 966s | crazy |
| 969s | but also people are generally enjoying |
| 971s | this fight |
| 972s | overall I think people are having fun |
| 973s | with it it's a little bit different I |
| 975s | think there's a bit of controversy |
| 976s | weather |
| 978s | where's the difficulty lying I think uh |
| 980s | people on the very low end of gear and |
| 982s | the skill are maybe struggling a bit |
| 983s | more than they expected and people on |
| 985s | the very high end or maybe trivializing |
| 986s | the content as expected |
| 988s | but I think it's sitting about right |
| 990s | personally from everything I've seen but |
| 992s | we are obviously going to keep |
| 993s | monitoring feedback see where it really |
| 995s | sits |
| 996s | makes changes were necessary |
| 999s | but so far I think it's in a pretty good |
| 1001s | spot |
| 1003s | I mean I've seen a few people getting |
| 1005s | comfortable kills or at least uh you |
| 1007s | know one kill trips with budget setups |
| 1009s | were in crossbow and stuff like that |
| 1010s | mediocre stats I think even um mod |
| 1012s | Goblin has been doing some on his um |
| 1014s | group Iron Man account so uh it's |
| 1017s | definitely definitely durable with lower |
| 1019s | gear levels just uh I think Bruno wants |
| 1022s | to just make sure that he was able to |
| 1024s | get successful skills in this stream |
| 1028s | no I'm trying |
| 1030s | but yeah it has been interesting to just |
| 1032s | see the the different uh discussions |
| 1034s | come around in terms of the perceived |
| 1035s | difficulty especially when it comes to |
| 1037s | gear but as Arcane touched on it's uh |
| 1039s | it's literally been out for one day so |
| 1041s | we will obviously continue to monitor |
| 1042s | things and make challenges as needed |
| 1044s | such as changes that we made earlier |
| 1046s | today so again if you haven't already |
| 1048s | make sure you check out the uh the news |
| 1050s | post or you've got a uh oh oh |
| 1054s | [ __ ] |
| 1056s | it's not happening guys change the name |
| 1060s | there you go you got it not even close |
| 1070s | so you can't die now |
| 1072s | if that's on then I don't take any |
| 1074s | damage at all |
| 1075s | okay all right I'll play it we're doing |
| 1078s | this in a test world just in case Bruno |
| 1079s | got a unique on stream and it was uh it |
| 1082s | was listed as just being a little bit |
| 1083s | you know I couldn't give myself a bit if |
| 1086s | you want |
| 1088s | we'll see how about get through the kill |
| 1090s | first and see if you deserve the pet |
| 1092s | thank you |
| 1093s | it'll get cocky not together |
| 1098s | we're gonna need to put your new chest |
| 1100s | plate on there |
| 1102s | there you go |
| 1103s | oh |
| 1107s | that's what happens when you listen to |
| 1109s | Twitch chat like when you get backseated |
| 1113s | we believe in you you've got this |
| 1115s | Tebow's gonna pull through |
| 1118s | oh he's got no food |
| 1121s | colored no food so she'll be all right |
| 1125s | I'm worried about the run but yeah |
| 1127s | that's fine nice to see Jay mods play as |
| 1130s | bad as some of our players haha |
| 1133s | well that's not very nice that's not |
| 1136s | very nice coming is it all of our |
| 1137s | players are are great at the game |
| 1139s | Bruno's got an infernal Cape so you know |
| 1143s | I was the first |
| 1146s | I just don't think it's very often that |
| 1148s | you are put in a situation having |
| 1149s | multiple thousand people watching you |
| 1150s | live on stream so um that does add |
| 1153s | something to it you know |
| 1155s | never lucky on the bolts though |
| 1162s | here we go I I I believe this is this is |
| 1165s | it this is gonna be the kill you're |
| 1166s | gonna get the pet you deserved it |
| 1169s | look at those flicks |
| 1172s | clean it's like God |
| 1177s | not getting very good on the hit so are |
| 1179s | you this is a lot this is a slow kill |
| 1187s | oh excited |
| 1191s | nice yeah he's dead I'm not a screamer |
| 1194s | you know like it's too much too much |
| 1196s | pressure yeah that's okay we managed to |
| 1199s | get we managed to get the one kill and |
| 1201s | then I will I will happily say that it |
| 1203s | was my fault that you died that time |
| 1204s | around because I I backseated and |
| 1206s | distracted you so yeah |
| 1208s | and died |
| 1210s | but that was a really good showcase |
| 1212s | though of the of the most for boss thank |
| 1214s | you for that Bruno we do appreciate it I |
| 1215s | know the pressure of being on stream is |
| 1217s | a little bit daunting so hopefully you |
| 1220s | don't take it too tart I mean we all |
| 1222s | know that you're a gamer really so I |
| 1224s | wouldn't worry too much and you you |
| 1226s | owned it on the first time round so yeah |
| 1228s | yeah no kill the uh no no food the first |
| 1230s | time |
| 1231s | exactly I'm not exactly |
| 1234s | you're not bad |
| 1235s | I'm glad that it was yeah hands are cold |
| 1238s | and let's just face it if it was me |
| 1240s | there we wouldn't have even got into the |
| 1241s | lair so it's all good |
| 1243s | all right how about we jump into some |
| 1245s | questions now uh we've got a whole bunch |
| 1247s | that we've listed from the Twitter post |
| 1249s | and Reddit thread that we put out and if |
| 1250s | you've got some questions that you want |
| 1251s | to ask us in chat we'll try and get a |
| 1254s | through a few of those uh later on so |
| 1258s | that's at Old School RS in the chat |
| 1259s | first of all |
| 1261s | oh there's a little nice message here |
| 1263s | we'll see how it develops because I've |
| 1264s | not read the rest of it yet but mud |
| 1265s | Arcane congratulations on such a |
| 1267s | successful release this first one is for |
| 1270s | you can you talk us through your |
| 1271s | decisions when creating the new solo |
| 1273s | boss for secrets of the north tell us |
| 1274s | about some of your favorite mechanics |
| 1275s | are there any which are totally new and |
| 1277s | unique or some of them taken from other |
| 1279s | encounters like a raid for example |
| 1283s | um talking through the decisions when |
| 1285s | creating the boss it was I mainly just |
| 1288s | look at a bunch of different games and |
| 1291s | different bosses and different things |
| 1292s | like inspiration and then I kind of just |
| 1294s | tried a bunch of different things out |
| 1296s | until I figured out like why she felt |
| 1299s | good |
| 1300s | um I know for TOA it was a lot of paper |
| 1302s | designs where I would then program it |
| 1304s | all out and then quickly realize a lot |
| 1306s | of stuff together so I kind of just |
| 1308s | skipped that step completely and start |
| 1309s | putting stuff in the game immediately |
| 1311s | because you get a much better feel for |
| 1312s | it okay so I think that was a big change |
| 1314s | for me personally just trying to get in |
| 1316s | the game as fast as possible |
| 1319s | um favorite mechanics I really like the |
| 1321s | whole Spike mechanic how there's a it's |
| 1323s | a random amount of sport it's not a |
| 1325s | random amount but the initial locations |
| 1327s | for the spike when you go into the arena |
| 1328s | slightly random and every time a spike |
| 1331s | spawns it effectively duplicates or |
| 1333s | spawn like a new another one next to it |
| 1334s | so you'll go from two to four to a |
| 1337s | roughly and it will just get more and |
| 1338s | more and the arena just ends up becoming |
| 1340s | this like quite generally unique shape |
| 1343s | so no environment generally feels the |
| 1345s | same |
| 1346s | so you'll you're I'm hoping that means |
| 1349s | long term like it's not as repetitive |
| 1351s | because you're not always standing in |
| 1352s | the exact same 3000 and over hydrolytes |
| 1355s | sometimes what it can feel like you end |
| 1357s | up marking like three tiles in the arena |
| 1359s | you're like okay start here and then |
| 1360s | wait until the cell threshold and move |
| 1362s | to this tile I'm hoping it makes it a |
| 1364s | little bit more random I quite enjoy |
| 1366s | things like that where you kind of don't |
| 1368s | want to Scuff the arena too much |
| 1370s | so I think that's quite cool |
| 1372s | working with Lion side I think line of |
| 1374s | sight is something we've not really |
| 1375s | delved into too much so the whole |
| 1377s | explosion attack towards the end where |
| 1378s | you want to hide behind the spikes or |
| 1380s | something that's quite cool and I like |
| 1382s | things like that I think the major tax |
| 1385s | really satisfying it's not particularly |
| 1387s | mechanically Innovative or anything like |
| 1390s | that but it's like a really basic range |
| 1391s | attack and then every now and again you |
| 1393s | get the whole like jad-esque like okay |
| 1395s | now you've got to pray Mage I feel like |
| 1397s | just the animation and the projectile is |
| 1399s | like synced up and really smooth and as |
| 1401s | far as a big ball of energy I don't know |
| 1403s | it feels really satisfying |
| 1405s | I don't know |
| 1409s | um what are some of them are taken from |
| 1411s | other counters like I read and I think |
| 1413s | there's a few that are probably somewhat |
| 1414s | unique I don't think we've really messed |
| 1415s | with prayer very much as a mechanic I |
| 1417s | think this is the first boss that really |
| 1418s | has prayer points at least in a certain |
| 1421s | phase so I think that's a couple of |
| 1424s | players off guard and but people figured |
| 1425s | it out pretty fast I was quite worried |
| 1427s | that people wouldn't really figure out |
| 1428s | that whole prayer phase for quite a |
| 1430s | while and they were just sat there |
| 1432s | looking at the box like waiting for it |
| 1434s | to drain and that'd be really boring |
| 1436s | right just like I don't know what to do |
| 1437s | but people figured out Smite and then |
| 1439s | you figured out the prior Sapphire bolts |
| 1442s | which Sapphire bolts have never worked |
| 1444s | in pvm before so I was a bit worried |
| 1446s | people wouldn't really connect with us |
| 1447s | so I was really happy with that I think |
| 1450s | people figured it out and seems to be |
| 1451s | enjoying it I don't know yeah I think I |
| 1454s | think that smart mechanic of obviously |
| 1456s | there's a lot of them in there that |
| 1457s | you've mentioned that are really unique |
| 1458s | and cool but that's the one that I've |
| 1459s | seen a lot of people comment on that |
| 1460s | they're just never expected you know |
| 1462s | it's not a typical pvm Encounter of |
| 1464s | sorts that you would uh you'd come |
| 1466s | across and not something we've done |
| 1467s | before so yeah really awesome to see all |
| 1469s | right how about on the flip side mod |
| 1470s | Bruno for yourself do you want to share |
| 1471s | any complicated or interesting books or |
| 1473s | problems that arose when you were |
| 1474s | testing the whisper |
| 1476s | uh yeah sure uh there wasn't really a |
| 1478s | whole lot aside from a few like weird uh |
| 1481s | nippy nitpicky things uh I'll tell you |
| 1484s | one interesting thing was initially the |
| 1485s | thralls were able to just do direct |
| 1487s | train to the muscles uh Shield face so |
| 1490s | get a thrall out that'll literally kill |
| 1493s | the whole face for you which we decided |
| 1494s | it's a bit too was a bit too strong |
| 1496s | maybe so |
| 1497s | let's Nerf it down a little bit makes |
| 1499s | trolls just do nothing because it's not |
| 1501s | really prayer drain that they're |
| 1503s | attacking |
| 1504s | um so yeah aside from that also when it |
| 1507s | does the explosion attack the first |
| 1509s | couple tiles adjacent to the boss like |
| 1511s | any spikes on those will kind of getting |
| 1513s | ignored which was a bit confusing to me |
| 1515s | because like the spikes there but it's |
| 1517s | it's not protecting me so yeah |
| 1519s | um so yeah we fix that as well |
| 1522s | um the boss I'd say that's like the most |
| 1524s | interesting books aside from a couple |
| 1525s | things like corruption not procking |
| 1528s | correctly and stuff like that |
| 1530s | oh yeah they're all pretty smooth |
| 1533s | okay fair enough thank you so much for |
| 1535s | the Insight appreciate it a bit of a |
| 1537s | long question here and I think the |
| 1538s | answer is going to be really easy so |
| 1539s | I'll just Blaster it this one's also um |
| 1541s | maybe for you Bruno uh is there a hidden |
| 1544s | mechanic when it comes to the prayer |
| 1546s | Shield phase of the fight so even if you |
| 1548s | use Sapphire bolts my ancient mace Etc |
| 1550s | you are still met with the chat message |
| 1551s | the Phantom Whispers prayer Shield |
| 1553s | mitigates regular damage you still do |
| 1556s | massively reduce damage with your weapon |
| 1557s | so it's weird to assume that Sapphire |
| 1559s | bolts are the only way you can deal high |
| 1560s | damage to this phase can this be |
| 1562s | explained |
| 1563s | uh there isn't any sort of like secret |
| 1565s | mechanic it's not that deep we did |
| 1568s | intend the sapphire bolts to uh actually |
| 1570s | be like The Meta for this because I |
| 1572s | specifically remember the testing stuff |
| 1574s | I bought so making sure they work |
| 1576s | um stuff like the ancient mace also |
| 1577s | worked but because of the ancient mace |
| 1579s | isn't that high of a level weapon it's |
| 1582s | very weak so it's not it's never really |
| 1585s | gonna do as much as like a sapphire |
| 1587s | bolts back or even just like a smiled |
| 1590s | bow spec around a bow hit or anything |
| 1593s | like that |
| 1594s | um so yeah it's pretty simple as players |
| 1596s | are coming out right now is pretty much |
| 1597s | how we intend them to kill it |
| 1600s | okay I do think the the chat message is |
| 1603s | probably coming out a little too much |
| 1605s | it's intended to only say that like the |
| 1608s | chat message saying that the very shield |
| 1610s | never gets regular damage that's only |
| 1612s | ever supposed to come out if your attack |
| 1613s | effectively did enough |
| 1615s | so if you didn't have some ice on you |
| 1617s | weren't using the sapphire balls you |
| 1618s | didn't do like an ancient May spec |
| 1620s | that's when the message is supposed to |
| 1621s | come out so if that feels like it's |
| 1623s | coming out too much or when it shouldn't |
| 1625s | be then that sounds like a book so it's |
| 1627s | just come messages Just Happening too |
| 1629s | often |
| 1630s | okay but I think functionally the boss |
| 1633s | is working but maybe it's just that |
| 1634s | message is coming out a bit too frequent |
| 1637s | and that's something I imagine we can |
| 1638s | just you know like filter or fix to just |
| 1640s | not happen as much as it should |
| 1642s | cool okay all right this is a question |
| 1644s | that I think if anyone has read their |
| 1646s | updated blog that released earlier today |
| 1648s | will know the answer to but let's go |
| 1649s | over anyway just for those that may not |
| 1651s | be informed and if you haven't already |
| 1652s | this is your reminder go check out the |
| 1653s | news post that was released yesterday it |
| 1655s | was updated earlier today it should be |
| 1657s | the first one that says secret to the |
| 1658s | north and more it explains a lot that |
| 1660s | changed with today's uh hotfixes but can |
| 1663s | you explain why the saturated heart is |
| 1665s | untradable and this is because the |
| 1666s | imbued heart and ancient Essence is |
| 1668s | tradable why did we make it untradable |
| 1670s | Beyond making it unbaggable for Ultimate |
| 1672s | Iron Man |
| 1674s | that wasn't the goal to just simply make |
| 1676s | it unbugable for ultimate I'm not that |
| 1678s | petty but um the general idea was like I |
| 1682s | think the main game mode kind of |
| 1685s | requires a couple more on tradables like |
| 1687s | to kind of look for like there isn't |
| 1690s | very many things the main has that |
| 1692s | actually gets locked to your accounts |
| 1693s | like a permanent unlocked |
| 1695s | I was looking to have more of those so I |
| 1698s | really wanted that as a perk and |
| 1700s | obviously as old as that so I'd like to |
| 1702s | think |
| 1703s | some people agreed but I do think one of |
| 1705s | the oversights that was built |
| 1709s | unfortunate is like some people like to |
| 1712s | trade and build Hearts like if you say |
| 1714s | you're doing top with your friends you |
| 1716s | can just trade and build Hearts between |
| 1717s | you and just use the age or even within |
| 1720s | the encounter yourself you can drop it |
| 1721s | on the floor like trade it like that and |
| 1723s | that's kind of nice and we just |
| 1725s | effectively remove uh |
| 1728s | that's just unfortunate side effects so |
| 1729s | we are going to be making it tradable so |
| 1732s | don't need to worry about that going |
| 1733s | forward |
| 1734s | awesome I think that was one that stated |
| 1737s | for next week's game update right it |
| 1739s | will become tradable |
| 1742s | so yeah we'll be with the cold fix on |
| 1744s | the 18th |
| 1746s | awesome so yeah next week saturate |
| 1748s | Hearts will be tradable and it also |
| 1749s | helps out for Groupon men in addition to |
| 1751s | that because you can now put it into |
| 1752s | your group bank and trade it between |
| 1754s | players whenever they're doing the tasks |
| 1756s | that require magic |
| 1758s | um speaking of hotfixes today's hotfix |
| 1759s | this is a pretty big one we saw a lot of |
| 1761s | feedback actually after we made this |
| 1762s | change again |
| 1764s | um but it addressed a bug with the |
| 1765s | Phantom muskers melee attack it's been |
| 1767s | referred to as the step back method |
| 1769s | which is used to mitigate damage from |
| 1771s | this phase players have said it was a |
| 1774s | fun mechanic to engage with so could the |
| 1776s | team explain why it was removed and |
| 1777s | whether or not we'd consider reverting |
| 1779s | the change |
| 1781s | so it was a bug and it it was |
| 1784s | effectively every NPC has like core |
| 1787s | combat that it calls like by default and |
| 1789s | the musco was weirdly alternating |
| 1791s | between calling its custom combat |
| 1793s | scripts and the core one and the core |
| 1795s | one just defaults to melee prior always |
| 1798s | as 100 damage reduction so this is like |
| 1800s | really weird Behavior where if you |
| 1802s | stepped back it was calling or combat |
| 1804s | and if you if it was just next to you it |
| 1806s | was calling the custom combat so it was |
| 1808s | a bug that needed to be fixed but I do |
| 1812s | think it was kind of a cool quirking |
| 1813s | mechanics I would be interested in |
| 1815s | bringing it back properly and how that |
| 1818s | would probably look is like we would |
| 1819s | code it in a way where it would actually |
| 1821s | respect this Behavior but it probably |
| 1823s | wouldn't show the hits black because I |
| 1825s | think it's really weird how it hits a |
| 1827s | zero like I like the idea of dodging the |
| 1829s | mounting attack almost but not that like |
| 1831s | it hits you but then for some reason |
| 1832s | prayer reductions is higher like that |
| 1834s | doesn't make any sense that the prayer |
| 1835s | reduction is higher because you stepped |
| 1837s | attack it should just not hit you so I |
| 1839s | think that's why how I'd want to bring |
| 1841s | it back and say okay if you step back |
| 1842s | the boss just misses |
| 1844s | kind of similar to nightmare's melee |
| 1846s | attack right where where if it hits you |
| 1847s | you step back or step to the side or |
| 1849s | something they'll just miss I'd rather |
| 1851s | just bring it back okay |
| 1853s | awesome okay that's maybe something that |
| 1855s | we can look forward to in a future |
| 1858s | um kind of like update potentially maybe |
| 1860s | we should do a little quick poll in the |
| 1861s | twitch chat how many of you are epic |
| 1863s | pvmers out there that kind of benefited |
| 1865s | from the step back method uh if we could |
| 1868s | maybe have a poll running to just say |
| 1870s | should the step back method for mustard |
| 1872s | be reintroduced yes or no and then let |
| 1875s | you all vote on it and in the meantime |
| 1877s | we'll get through some more questions |
| 1878s | because time is of the essence here |
| 1881s | um does the old school team plan on |
| 1883s | making Smite relevant for future PDM it |
| 1885s | was awesome to see this mechanic for the |
| 1887s | new boss |
| 1888s | thank you |
| 1889s | sure when it makes sense yeah |
| 1892s | for this bus it made a lot of sense |
| 1894s | because |
| 1895s | quite quite like her well leading up to |
| 1897s | Desert treasure two uh makes kind of |
| 1899s | sense because you know curse and stuff |
| 1901s | like that |
| 1902s | um so yeah sure |
| 1906s | cool all right nice one thank you nice |
| 1908s | and easy uh moving on from that let's |
| 1910s | talk about the venator bow |
| 1912s | um so someone has said the venator boat |
| 1914s | was very good in Barbarian assault this |
| 1916s | is again something that we have changed |
| 1918s | so keep an eye out on the news post but |
| 1920s | I asked if we could get more insight for |
| 1921s | why it was restricted in Barbarian |
| 1923s | assault specifically |
| 1927s | I think we talked to a couple of people |
| 1929s | in the ba community and they said that |
| 1932s | they didn't really want it in there for |
| 1934s | various reasons I think the biggest one |
| 1936s | was reducing the skill Gap or the skill |
| 1938s | required for the attack roll and in the |
| 1941s | time we were just in this position of |
| 1943s | okay this this community really doesn't |
| 1946s | want this bow and this is this change |
| 1948s | affects them the most it just seems like |
| 1950s | a free win so just go okay it doesn't |
| 1951s | really affect very many people it would |
| 1953s | only negatively affect these players so |
| 1955s | we'll just make them happy like it just |
| 1957s | seemed like a free win in there |
| 1958s | obviously the last 24 hours is showing |
| 1961s | otherwise |
| 1962s | um so we've kind of prepare our stands |
| 1964s | on that okay fair enough we do generally |
| 1966s | agree that the game should evolve over |
| 1968s | time and things should change like |
| 1969s | inferno's got a lot easier and because |
| 1972s | of this new bow so why shouldn't other |
| 1974s | pieces of content so I do think it's a |
| 1977s | shame for the people that really like |
| 1978s | care about the prestigious nature in |
| 1980s | that but I do think it's important the |
| 1982s | entire game evolves like and we |
| 1984s | shouldn't hold parts of it back |
| 1985s | artificially |
| 1988s | awesome okay thank you so just in case |
| 1990s | it was lost in in the detail just to |
| 1992s | confirm it was hot fixed earlier today |
| 1993s | so it is now usable within Barbarian |
| 1995s | assault so that's a change that we |
| 1997s | already make and uh reverted there is |
| 1999s | now also a poll in the twitch chat if |
| 2001s | you want to go and vote on whether or |
| 2003s | not the step back method should be put |
| 2004s | back in obviously we have our own |
| 2006s | opinions internally we're not going to |
| 2007s | take the results of the twitch chat as |
| 2008s | vertebrum but it's just interesting to |
| 2010s | see what your opinions are like um |
| 2012s | within chat so click on the top of your |
| 2014s | chat box and vote in that for us Bruno |
| 2016s | did I cut you off did you want to talk |
| 2018s | about this one at all or I move on to |
| 2019s | next yeah I was just going to confirm |
| 2021s | that that has been hot fixed so yeah you |
| 2023s | can hop in with the events if not if you |
| 2025s | want |
| 2026s | nice all right there you go then go and |
| 2029s | get good at the attacker roll |
| 2031s | um so a question for you mad Arcane when |
| 2034s | designing the mechanics of the boss did |
| 2036s | you feel limited knowing that there are |
| 2038s | meant to be four bosses in desert |
| 2039s | treasure two so you have to keep some |
| 2040s | mechanics safe for those bosses rather |
| 2042s | than using them here |
| 2045s | no not really there's just always more |
| 2047s | stuff to talk about right there's always |
| 2049s | more ideas |
| 2051s | anything back particularly |
| 2054s | nice and simple there we go so instead |
| 2056s | of smite next time we'll maybe introduce |
| 2058s | humidify |
| 2059s | or plank bake |
| 2063s | yeah all right so oh a question for both |
| 2066s | of you are a double whammy what player |
| 2068s | stage do you think this boss most |
| 2070s | appeals to does this match what you |
| 2072s | envision envision |
| 2073s | envision |
| 2076s | envision |
| 2078s | thank you for some reason just can't say |
| 2080s | envisioned today when you first tested |
| 2082s | the boss |
| 2087s | this player stage mean like a mid game |
| 2089s | end game or like yeah I think so like |
| 2091s | what phase in in the game Journey |
| 2093s | progression do you think that it should |
| 2095s | sit up |
| 2097s | it depends like what do you mean by like |
| 2099s | where she's at because you can do the |
| 2102s | boss post Quest on a 85 combat account |
| 2104s | right like base 75s like you can do it |
| 2106s | but like every boss in our game is |
| 2108s | generally more efficient to just go |
| 2110s | train your stats up to as high as you |
| 2112s | reasonably want to and make money or |
| 2114s | they're more reasonable pieces of |
| 2115s | content and then for me like that goes |
| 2117s | for literally everything in the game |
| 2119s | right right it's more efficient to get |
| 2120s | Max combat and then kill giant mold than |
| 2123s | it is to struggle to kill giant ball |
| 2124s | with basic |
| 2128s | um but I do think it's reasonable to |
| 2130s | maybe go there and do your 50 100 kills |
| 2132s | maybe get the ancient scepter for an |
| 2134s | upgrade and then drop it for a bit and |
| 2135s | then maybe come back once you've got |
| 2137s | better gear I don't expect mid-level |
| 2139s | players to sit there for hundreds and |
| 2141s | hundreds of kills trying to farm out the |
| 2143s | venator bow or the pet or something like |
| 2145s | that so for that I'd say like depends |
| 2148s | what you want from the boss I think if |
| 2150s | you want only a couple of things |
| 2153s | game but if you want to farm a pet and |
| 2156s | like maybe better Turbo's or multiple |
| 2157s | veterans are work for money then I would |
| 2160s | expect that to be more for the late game |
| 2161s | players |
| 2163s | players because the gear matters a lot |
| 2165s | there I think that's a good thing gear |
| 2167s | should matter a lot every piece of |
| 2168s | content I think it's a shame if you're |
| 2170s | getting the exact same kills per hour |
| 2173s | with like a whip versus a scythe right |
| 2176s | like the size should be better it should |
| 2178s | feel good you want to incentivize it |
| 2179s | yeah it's better here so I think it's |
| 2182s | completely fine to kill it earlier on I |
| 2184s | just wouldn't recommend farming it for |
| 2185s | loads of hours but I also wouldn't say |
| 2187s | the same about any boss or a workout and |
| 2191s | nothing really like that arrows is |
| 2193s | probably the exception right because you |
| 2194s | just don't need gear there the gear just |
| 2197s | doesn't matter like you you gotta try |
| 2199s | them or items |
| 2200s | they're almost getting Max kills per |
| 2202s | hour they're anyway |
| 2203s | the difference isn't as big of a deal |
| 2205s | going from wearing room play body to |
| 2207s | full ancestral it's like 100 Mil for |
| 2209s | very very little GPS |
| 2212s | but for here the difference between |
| 2214s | aroms and Trident versus ancestral and |
| 2217s | Shadow is Monumental like it's so big |
| 2220s | but I don't think that's a problem |
| 2223s | yeah I'll see in some place it's like a |
| 2226s | mid-level boss and I don't really know |
| 2228s | where they got that from I don't think |
| 2230s | we've called it a middle of a boss and I |
| 2232s | don't think it's fair to compare it to a |
| 2233s | middle of a boss because well what I see |
| 2235s | middle of I see something like barrows |
| 2237s | or saraknis those sorts of like levels |
| 2240s | of bosses where you don't really need |
| 2242s | that much to do it efficiently whereas |
| 2244s | this you do need a little bit of skill |
| 2245s | and some good gear so I'd say it's more |
| 2247s | towards high level but not exactly like |
| 2249s | end game or anything like that |
| 2252s | okay all right thank you hopefully that |
| 2255s | gives a little bit more of an |
| 2256s | explanation |
| 2258s | um I think if I remember correctly when |
| 2260s | we kind of put it out there in terms of |
| 2262s | its expected difficulty because to begin |
| 2264s | with we didn't put any information out |
| 2266s | at all but then in later on |
| 2268s | clarifications it was compared to a more |
| 2270s | mechanical version of Warcraft with |
| 2272s | lower stats so and you know volcaff is |
| 2275s | not exactly like a a mid-game boss in |
| 2278s | its own right with uh the requirements |
| 2280s | that you have in terms of gear but uh we |
| 2282s | did also state that you could defeat the |
| 2284s | boss with 85 combats and I think that |
| 2286s | was listed in the blog itself as well |
| 2289s | and confirm that you can do it it's just |
| 2291s | as Arcane said probably not the best |
| 2293s | thing to farm out long term if you don't |
| 2294s | have high combats and high gear but |
| 2297s | that's the nature of bossing really so |
| 2300s | yeah I think you can see it within chat |
| 2303s | itself like it's so divisive where it's |
| 2305s | like what is mid game some people are |
| 2306s | saying mid game it comes from a Grand |
| 2309s | Master Quest right like orcath is an |
| 2311s | inferno sure but that doesn't make it |
| 2312s | mid game the differences between like |
| 2314s | early gay and mid game late game and |
| 2316s | game like is so vague and there isn't |
| 2319s | anything official right it's very |
| 2321s | subjective yeah I think it's just |
| 2324s | because it comes from mechanically |
| 2326s | simpler has higher requirements to get |
| 2328s | to |
| 2329s | um the distinction gets brought across |
| 2331s | around about that but I still didn't go |
| 2333s | and farm Warcraft with budget gear |
| 2335s | because there's just no point I'd wait |
| 2336s | until I got decent gear just like I |
| 2338s | would do the same here so well at least |
| 2340s | that's something Insight anyway from |
| 2341s | mods Arcane and Bruno in regards to the |
| 2343s | loss and where it sits at |
| 2345s | um let's have a look at the next |
| 2347s | question which is what is your reasoning |
| 2349s | behind dropping the venator shards more |
| 2350s | often and needing five to create the bow |
| 2352s | and just making the bow a drop that's |
| 2354s | five times as rare |
| 2357s | I kind of wanted to try something |
| 2359s | different so I think generally having a |
| 2363s | singular rare drop is more exciting and |
| 2366s | you have like the high variance right |
| 2368s | where you could just complete the entire |
| 2369s | bow in one kill like just get it first |
| 2371s | kill like that's quite exciting a |
| 2373s | potential idea that you can just get |
| 2375s | like a Tebow or whatever for one KC and |
| 2377s | but then you have the other side of it |
| 2379s | where you the chance of going three |
| 2381s | times dry on something is something like |
| 2383s | a one in 20. if you're thinking about it |
| 2385s | from the entire player base or even like |
| 2387s | your friend group right you've got 20 |
| 2389s | friends that play RuneScape I don't have |
| 2391s | 20 friends to play RuneScape if you have |
| 2392s | 20 friends that play RuneScape one of |
| 2394s | you is likely to go three times dry |
| 2396s | right and if you're in the context of |
| 2398s | something like lizard and shamans for |
| 2400s | example like boom 15K Charlotte's driver |
| 2403s | Warhammer is depressing so I kind of |
| 2405s | just wanted to try something different |
| 2406s | which is if you give out smaller like |
| 2409s | more frequent smaller quantities of an |
| 2411s | item so first violence or shards you're |
| 2414s | statistically more likely to complete it |
| 2415s | in like an average range you're less |
| 2417s | likely to finish it early and you're |
| 2418s | less likely to finish later like you you |
| 2420s | go towards the middle a bit more like |
| 2422s | you average out so it decreases the |
| 2424s | variance of it and that's good and bad |
| 2426s | it means you can't go out is dry but you |
| 2428s | also can't get a spoon and I can't just |
| 2431s | wait to try to see what players really |
| 2432s | think like do they prefer this style of |
| 2434s | drop and it's a mid-level boss right |
| 2436s | it's not dropping anything crazy so it |
| 2437s | seemed like a good chance to try it out |
| 2439s | and see what people think so looking for |
| 2441s | feedback on that obviously you probably |
| 2443s | won't really have much feedback until |
| 2445s | you've maybe gone dry on it or anything |
| 2448s | um so maybe after a couple hundred cases |
| 2450s | give me a message but generally curious |
| 2452s | we'll see how it goes and maybe this is |
| 2455s | something we take forward I think it's |
| 2457s | probably to have a bit of a balance like |
| 2458s | you don't want an entire drop table |
| 2460s | that's just all shared very exciting |
| 2462s | maybe some of the more rare things |
| 2464s | should be broken |
| 2467s | they're an experiment there he goes let |
| 2469s | me know |
| 2470s | what initial reaction seems relatively |
| 2472s | positive people saying they like it they |
| 2473s | love it prefer it that way Big W so |
| 2476s | there you go |
| 2477s | nice nice all right |
| 2479s | um |
| 2480s | we've got a secret to the north will the |
| 2482s | boss be slightest illegible |
| 2486s | uh yeah so you can get a boss layer task |
| 2489s | of the phantom menace but you can't get |
| 2491s | a |
| 2498s | is just one boss so if you have the boss |
| 2501s | Slayer test worked better |
| 2504s | then yeah you can um get that as a |
| 2506s | slight task |
| 2508s | cool all right thank you uh next |
| 2510s | question is right now in secrets of the |
| 2512s | north killing the boss before the smart |
| 2513s | phase causes it to bug out will this |
| 2515s | book be addressed |
| 2517s | uh yeah we've tried to fix this bug a |
| 2519s | few times I think we've been it now but |
| 2522s | let us know if we haven't |
| 2524s | um we're basically the way the bus works |
| 2526s | is it goes from one phase to the next to |
| 2528s | the next if you try to skip one of those |
| 2530s | phases it will probably not work |
| 2532s | properly in some sorts in bug out in |
| 2534s | some way |
| 2535s | um so try to fix it by making it so that |
| 2537s | if the boss does reach zero HP whilst |
| 2540s | it's trying to transition to the next |
| 2541s | phase it will regen a little bit HP and |
| 2544s | then carry on properly |
| 2547s | okay awesome thank you |
| 2550s | um another question is regards to damage |
| 2553s | being nulled between phase transitions |
| 2555s | near the end of the fight and this be |
| 2557s | fixed |
| 2558s | generally damaged no legs like really |
| 2561s | bad right like it's really annoying at |
| 2562s | vanguards it's it was really annoying |
| 2564s | and next |
| 2566s | I don't know if this still actually |
| 2567s | happens the next time but went back and |
| 2568s | forth on that for ages but generally |
| 2571s | damage nothing's really bad I think for |
| 2573s | this it kind of has to know it because |
| 2575s | it's going from like hit points being |
| 2577s | regular hit points to Prior hit points |
| 2580s | so it's like a completely different |
| 2582s | health bar it's a different completely |
| 2583s | different mechanic so |
| 2585s | it kind of has to null it here and so |
| 2588s | I think just use that period where you |
| 2589s | know your transitioning it to or the |
| 2592s | um |
| 2593s | the explosion attacks just about to end |
| 2594s | just use that period to eat or something |
| 2596s | instead you know exactly when it's going |
| 2597s | to happen |
| 2598s | so you can time it and everything so |
| 2600s | hopefully it's not too frustrating but |
| 2603s | for here it kind of has to know it |
| 2606s | okay fair enough appreciate the |
| 2608s | explanation Arcane |
| 2610s | um right the next one so I got |
| 2612s | distracted because apparently track can |
| 2613s | hear every time I gulp my uh glass of |
| 2615s | water so I'll try and uh drink a little |
| 2618s | bit less |
| 2619s | um I think we like aggressively |
| 2621s | let's stay hydrated you know yeah you do |
| 2624s | have to stay hydrated you know Hydro uh |
| 2626s | homies out there it's healthy to drink |
| 2628s | water |
| 2629s | um Can the devs give any insight into |
| 2631s | what goes into designing drop tables for |
| 2633s | bosses |
| 2634s | why so many Skilling supplies question |
| 2636s | mark |
| 2639s | so |
| 2641s | we've had a lot of criticism in the past |
| 2643s | where drop tables are really boring |
| 2648s | and we only really have like three types |
| 2651s | of items we can give out it's either |
| 2654s | alcohols or it is a like early Skilling |
| 2657s | resource such as like a seed or an ore |
| 2659s | right like there's a very burrow |
| 2661s | resource or we can give produced |
| 2663s | resources such as bars and herbs that |
| 2666s | have like gone through a layer of |
| 2667s | Skilling |
| 2668s | um or we can give it like raw GP or it's |
| 2670s | like any sort of techniques right we |
| 2672s | don't really have a lot of diversity so |
| 2675s | sure we can just give out alkibles |
| 2677s | completely on every drop table it's |
| 2679s | purely alcohols right |
| 2682s | um but then that's interesting a lot of |
| 2683s | gold into the game and that's really |
| 2685s | boring so then we try and put a few |
| 2686s | Skilling materials in there and that can |
| 2689s | be okay but then if you really rely on |
| 2691s | some skill materials you'd end up really |
| 2692s | hurting the economies like say we had |
| 2694s | one boss that only dropped ran our weeds |
| 2696s | right around our weed economy would be |
| 2698s | really devastated so what we try to do |
| 2701s | now is kind of like spread it out a bit |
| 2703s | where it's like we get a little bit of |
| 2704s | seeds we get a little bit of herbs a |
| 2706s | little bit of ore and just trying her |
| 2708s | everything ever so slightly because no |
| 2710s | matter what it drops it hurts the |
| 2711s | economy in some way adding a bunch of |
| 2713s | stuff into the economy |
| 2714s | we want to generally take out more than |
| 2716s | we put in so boss is generally about |
| 2719s | okay people are going to be eating food |
| 2721s | and drinking prayer pots like super |
| 2723s | combats and stuff like that they're the |
| 2724s | resources that are consuming from Boston |
| 2726s | I want to make sure our people are |
| 2728s | consuming an adequate amount of |
| 2729s | resources and not generating too much so |
| 2732s | it's about just trying to like get the |
| 2733s | balance right not to introduce anything |
| 2735s | individually too much from any single |
| 2737s | piece of content spread it out so it |
| 2739s | doesn't hurt anything sometimes we get |
| 2741s | it wrong right we're like okay oops we |
| 2742s | get about way too many around our seats |
| 2744s | from this drop table we need to change |
| 2745s | that and that's kind of what we did |
| 2747s | today we're like okay we pulled back on |
| 2749s | some of the resources slightly uh I |
| 2751s | still may be giving out a bit too much |
| 2752s | we'll see that we just don't want to |
| 2754s | have any knee-jerk reactions but we're |
| 2756s | pulling it back a bit most of the muscle |
| 2758s | drop table is quite varied like he |
| 2760s | spreads it out like there is some seeds |
| 2762s | on it sure but they're not really common |
| 2763s | but maybe it's just giving us early to |
| 2765s | any of them which is again is what we |
| 2767s | tweet today but yeah maybe we didn't get |
| 2770s | it right here and we can pull it back a |
| 2771s | little bit but we have to give out |
| 2773s | something so it's either alcohols or |
| 2775s | scaling supplies or uniques I don't want |
| 2777s | to just drop them nothing and we don't |
| 2779s | want to have too many empty drops right |
| 2780s | where we give you three pure essence or |
| 2783s | whatever right like drops that are |
| 2785s | effectively a dead drop that feels |
| 2786s | really bad so it's like a bounds of |
| 2789s | make sure we give a player something |
| 2791s | that makes them feel like their time |
| 2792s | wasn't wasted and they're just like the |
| 2793s | way net loss on supplies make sure we're |
| 2796s | not giving out too much of any |
| 2797s | individual resource to hurt the economy |
| 2799s | too badly it's like any anything in |
| 2802s | specifics |
| 2804s | um it is difficult there's not a lot of |
| 2806s | flexibility something that we've been |
| 2807s | trying to do is sort of I think the last |
| 2809s | two updates is it introduce new |
| 2810s | resources so for example obviously we |
| 2813s | introduce ancient Essence like we could |
| 2814s | have used something else for that right |
| 2816s | we could have used |
| 2818s | um well being a good example of |
| 2819s | something we could use we could have |
| 2820s | used Bud shards or something instead of |
| 2822s | ancient Essence but generally if we |
| 2823s | introduce a new resource it gives us |
| 2825s | another option of some things to drop |
| 2827s | the player that has a |
| 2829s | different plan so try and introduce more |
| 2831s | things that we can give out so we're not |
| 2832s | always just getting around RCS and |
| 2834s | always getting around our weeds and |
| 2836s | that's also a really good idea that |
| 2837s | we're trying to do let's see a little |
| 2839s | harder to introduce new things |
| 2842s | um yeah we can pull back supplies but |
| 2844s | again opens feedback seems like a |
| 2846s | general consensus is and choosing a bit |
| 2848s | too many resources but we don't want to |
| 2850s | just completely Hammer the regular drop |
| 2852s | table because the uniques aren't |
| 2853s | particularly amazing either right the |
| 2855s | uniques aren't going to be holding like |
| 2857s | 100 200 mil values so if we really |
| 2859s | Hammer the regular drop table it's going |
| 2862s | to just look really unappealing to do |
| 2863s | for everyone |
| 2865s | um so it's difficult job tables are |
| 2867s | really difficult to |
| 2868s | buy honestly um not saying we ever get a |
| 2870s | Rises very very back and forth |
| 2873s | the the four plus years of working at |
| 2875s | drag X in Community Management I can |
| 2877s | certainly say drop tables have been the |
| 2879s | bane of my life when it comes to |
| 2880s | feedback on new releases that involve |
| 2882s | pvm but it's just as you say nature of |
| 2884s | the beast but I feel like um we've done |
| 2886s | a lot better this time around than we |
| 2887s | have in previous bosses at least it |
| 2888s | seems way more on the line of you know |
| 2891s | what it could be a little bit broken it |
| 2892s | could also be a little bit okay whereas |
| 2894s | I'd rather see that than holy crap this |
| 2897s | is broken there's a million threads |
| 2899s | posted everyone's rushing to the boss |
| 2900s | everything's broken and then we have to |
| 2902s | change it and everyone gets upset and |
| 2904s | angry because they no longer make as |
| 2905s | much money as they did before so I think |
| 2908s | it's okay we can just have a continued |
| 2911s | monitoring of it |
| 2912s | I do have one more point I know I've |
| 2914s | rambled a lot on this already but |
| 2916s | I know people are like panicking about |
| 2917s | like looking at seed prices and |
| 2918s | plummeting and stuff right |
| 2920s | um completely valid thing to panic about |
| 2922s | this is two things like two major things |
| 2925s | one thing is people panicking obviously |
| 2927s | the market is completely player run so |
| 2929s | if people think that the boss is |
| 2930s | dropping a lot of seeds based off some |
| 2932s | Wiki rates or something like that or |
| 2933s | their own experience right you see 12 |
| 2935s | Runner Seasons dropping like wow as |
| 2936s | possible plus a lot of that that word |
| 2938s | will spread so people start Panic |
| 2940s | selling so that's a big factor that |
| 2942s | makes them crash the second thing is a |
| 2946s | lot of people are doing this particular |
| 2948s | boss right now |
| 2950s | so it isn't the facts like oh some |
| 2952s | people are doing COA some people don't |
| 2953s | see a b and like there's a lot of people |
| 2955s | doing various contents that all have |
| 2956s | their own different drop tables and it's |
| 2958s | like a lot more spread out it's like 90 |
| 2959s | of the community all just moves to one |
| 2961s | boss yeah a lot of those drops are just |
| 2963s | going to go down in prices there's more |
| 2965s | of this coming in than anything else in |
| 2967s | the game now so it's the same with TOA |
| 2969s | where as soon as TOA dropped all those |
| 2971s | resources just commented because so many |
| 2973s | people are doing TOA Suffering From |
| 2975s | Success right |
| 2976s | um but that that will normalize after a |
| 2978s | couple of weeks people go back and like |
| 2979s | okay after my 50 100 KC I'm going to go |
| 2981s | back to whatever grind I was doing |
| 2983s | um and then it'll like go back to normal |
| 2985s | again people stop Panic buying and |
| 2987s | everything but we've all been honest for |
| 2989s | it long term right because we can't see |
| 2990s | this boss is just objectively |
| 2992s | introducing too many scenes but that |
| 2994s | isn't the only factor it's not only |
| 2996s | about |
| 2997s | yeah that's a really really good point |
| 2999s | to make and a really important |
| 3000s | clarification as well and that's also |
| 3002s | part of the reason why we're just |
| 3004s | straight up the drop table straight away |
| 3005s | we obviously made some changes today |
| 3006s | slightly reduced it because we felt like |
| 3008s | even with you know |
| 3010s | player levels dropping down over time it |
| 3013s | would still be a bit too powerful but as |
| 3015s | Arcane said you know if we completely |
| 3017s | good at it now as player activity drops |
| 3019s | as people lose interest in the boss long |
| 3021s | term it could just then just become |
| 3022s | something that's just not appealing at |
| 3024s | all and we obviously want to avoid that |
| 3025s | but I think we talked a fair amount on |
| 3027s | that I appreciate the Insight I want to |
| 3028s | get on to one more question from the |
| 3031s | chat and then sorry from the sheet and |
| 3035s | then we'll go into some chat questions |
| 3036s | to wrap up and this next uh and last one |
| 3038s | from this is can we get a quick start |
| 3040s | option to instantly spawn the boss |
| 3042s | similar to vocath the 30 second respawn |
| 3044s | timer feels a bit too much since this is |
| 3046s | a solo boss |
| 3049s | oh my God |
| 3052s | yeah go ahead I think it's like how we |
| 3054s | do it right like nightmare is like |
| 3056s | really obvious like number goes back to |
| 3057s | sleep you kill her and then you wake her |
| 3059s | up again |
| 3060s | it was really simple because yeah he's |
| 3062s | like an under dragon it constantly gets |
| 3064s | revived that uh grotesque Guardians has |
| 3066s | a big Bell in the arena that you can |
| 3068s | ring them right like something's a lot |
| 3069s | easier than that |
| 3071s | I don't really know what this one would |
| 3072s | be |
| 3072s | and spawn a random item on the floor |
| 3074s | that you just click on probably would |
| 3076s | suffice I do think stuff like that is |
| 3078s | generally better that the player can |
| 3080s | start the fight whenever they want we |
| 3082s | could just look at reducing the start |
| 3083s | time a bit but there was a lot of |
| 3085s | feedback and play testing that it's a |
| 3086s | bit too quick it's like pick up all your |
| 3088s | supplies because you can get quite a few |
| 3089s | things right |
| 3090s | six summer pie drop in two prayer |
| 3093s | potions and arranging Paul like it's |
| 3095s | like eight things to pick up and the |
| 3097s | management area that heal up free prayer |
| 3099s | like that can take a lot of time so we |
| 3101s | introduced the increase there but the |
| 3103s | better players get the more comfortable |
| 3105s | to get the whole gameplay Loop so then |
| 3107s | it ends with just you're just sitting |
| 3108s | around waiting you you can just like |
| 3111s | leave and re-enter if you want to go |
| 3112s | really quick but it's not particularly |
| 3114s | nice either especially if you want to |
| 3115s | leave stuff on the floor and I was gonna |
| 3118s | say remove your supplies you've saved |
| 3119s | then that you're juggling right |
| 3121s | maybe we might this is I'm just joking |
| 3123s | here but right make everyone bring a |
| 3125s | spade and they have to dig the ground up |
| 3126s | to bring it back out of the ground |
| 3128s | that's where it comes from it's an |
| 3129s | underground worm thing |
| 3131s | fantastic yeah that's that's my uh |
| 3135s | useful input of the day cool so yeah it |
| 3138s | seems like we can think about it at |
| 3139s | least um chat questions what have you |
| 3141s | been saying and I pray to Sarah Diamond |
| 3143s | that these questions are tame because |
| 3146s | it's been a long day |
| 3148s | um could we get the possibility to break |
| 3151s | down ancient icons into Essence just |
| 3153s | like the venator shards |
| 3156s | won't be against it |
| 3160s | overly against it I don't think it's |
| 3162s | necessary there will be more purpose for |
| 3164s | ancient icons in the future so multiple |
| 3166s | is not useless yet |
| 3170s | cool all right next question would the |
| 3172s | jmods be interested in adding more item |
| 3175s | clue steps and stashes maybe one with an |
| 3177s | upgraded ancient staff and another one |
| 3179s | where you have to equip a sun Charis |
| 3180s | outside of TOA |
| 3183s | I'll be a pain |
| 3185s | I won't mind but yeah like you said it |
| 3188s | would be a pain |
| 3189s | um so I'm not inclined to do it with |
| 3192s | maybe there's like a new loose World |
| 3194s | expansion at some point then yeah it |
| 3195s | would make sense for us to add items |
| 3197s | that weren't out in the last two |
| 3198s | expansion |
| 3202s | I think it's a really good thing for us |
| 3203s | to do I just don't know like when or why |
| 3205s | we do it like is it just like really |
| 3207s | random okay oh we just release a big |
| 3210s | update let's just add a bunch more clues |
| 3212s | and stashes and stuff |
| 3214s | maybe it is good yeah it gives more |
| 3217s | demand for items right |
| 3218s | yeah that's probably one thing that we |
| 3220s | need to need to think about because I it |
| 3223s | always falls back in internal |
| 3224s | discussions go to yeah we'll we'll do a |
| 3226s | clue expansion at some point and we'll |
| 3227s | bundle it in with then and then we never |
| 3229s | do a clue expansion because everything |
| 3230s | else comes out instead so |
| 3233s | um |
| 3233s | I think it's probably worth thinking |
| 3234s | about when new content comes out going |
| 3236s | forward |
| 3237s | um how we might be able to incorporate |
| 3238s | it I think that's uh that's nice |
| 3241s | um okay oh this starts off nice here we |
| 3243s | go first of all a lovely work with the |
| 3245s | new boss and congratulations thank you |
| 3247s | twitch chat however ah here we go |
| 3250s | there's always a however a but after |
| 3252s | trying the boss there was a missed |
| 3254s | opportunity for it to be a tribrid fight |
| 3256s | was this intentional or discovered after |
| 3258s | players experimented a bit |
| 3262s | there's just never intended to be a |
| 3264s | tripod |
| 3266s | we I don't think every boss should be a |
| 3268s | tribe it's not like we have any of them |
| 3269s | but it's a bit of a big ask for a lot of |
| 3272s | bosses to be a tribe because of how much |
| 3274s | gear you've got to bring |
| 3275s | it's not always particularly desirable I |
| 3277s | think there is a time and a place for it |
| 3279s | and it can be fun but |
| 3281s | I don't know |
| 3284s | cool fair enough |
| 3286s | um this question is directed towards me |
| 3287s | because I know that I've said this |
| 3289s | before and responses to people on Reddit |
| 3291s | because this is what I was told by the |
| 3292s | team but I can't remember the exact |
| 3294s | reason and I believe the one person who |
| 3296s | might be able to help answer it is not |
| 3297s | going to be on stream until next week |
| 3298s | but anyway we'll see if Arcane and Bruno |
| 3301s | can help save the day they've said |
| 3302s | modiza you once said that once we saw |
| 3305s | the boss we would understand why the |
| 3306s | ranged weapon had to be a bow could you |
| 3308s | elaborate |
| 3316s | thank you |
| 3318s | I mean I think it makes sense it being a |
| 3321s | bow rather than like being nice |
| 3324s | just being a throne ax |
| 3327s | um because you also use like Arrows with |
| 3329s | this item so |
| 3332s | I remember the words |
| 3335s | I like the idea of it being like a like |
| 3338s | a god of war like throwing ax like came |
| 3340s | back to you and everything but it was |
| 3341s | just a completely different design at |
| 3342s | that point but no I wanted a boomerang |
| 3344s | just to be honest with you I wanted a |
| 3346s | boomerang and I got told I remember |
| 3348s | being told that there's a reason why |
| 3349s | it's got to be a bow I can't remember |
| 3350s | the reason because Christmas has |
| 3352s | happened so I I don't remember we'll |
| 3354s | find out |
| 3359s | like why is this do you know boomerangs |
| 3361s | or an ancient they're an ancient item |
| 3363s | used by aboriginals hundreds of years |
| 3366s | thousands of years old in fact you know |
| 3368s | how old's gilinore he knows they could |
| 3370s | have made boomerangs it's also a fantasy |
| 3372s | game who cares it would have been cool |
| 3373s | to have Boomerang anyway never mind |
| 3376s | another question apparently for me I |
| 3378s | definitely can't answer this one so |
| 3380s | um someone someone else please answer it |
| 3382s | can you mention if the pathing on the |
| 3385s | way to the boss can be fixed a lot of us |
| 3386s | click the squeeze through fence but get |
| 3389s | directed slightly differently |
| 3393s | I don't know what this is I guess it's |
| 3395s | bugged in some weird form |
| 3398s | yeah I imagine the pathing's trying to |
| 3400s | make it shorter for you but not really |
| 3402s | doing its job properly uh usually |
| 3404s | whether we fix this is make thing we'll |
| 3406s | move things out of the way or add things |
| 3408s | in the way |
| 3409s | um like for a bankers at banks sometimes |
| 3411s | you'll click on the banker and you run |
| 3413s | to the back of the bank because that's |
| 3414s | apparently how the game sees you to get |
| 3416s | there faster but it doesn't really work |
| 3418s | out uh so the way |
| 3420s | I add things in the way people are |
| 3423s | saying that people are clicking on the |
| 3424s | stairs behind the Miss clicking the |
| 3426s | stairs yeah people clicking yeah |
| 3429s | I have seen a few people Miss click on |
| 3431s | the stairs when the minute click on the |
| 3433s | uh then see how that could be as well |
| 3437s | cool okay |
| 3440s | um next question was the muska's orb |
| 3443s | phase intended to have a safe spot |
| 3446s | no |
| 3448s | can I ask the question are we going to |
| 3450s | change it because it wasn't enough |
| 3451s | feedback |
| 3453s | no I think we're just gonna leave it |
| 3454s | it's kind of nice to be able to just AFK |
| 3456s | that phase makes you feel like a god |
| 3458s | just dodging everything around you like |
| 3460s | Neo right |
| 3462s | yeah okay it's also not guaranteed that |
| 3465s | you'll have the safe spot because like |
| 3466s | what if you accidentally put a spike |
| 3468s | there then that says what's ruined |
| 3470s | um there's some form of like gameplay |
| 3472s | around it then I see I see all right so |
| 3474s | it guarantees this but most of the time |
| 3477s | it is you can be base J mods for this |
| 3479s | stream then until next week when you |
| 3481s | decide to change it and I have to try |
| 3482s | and communicate that and be like well |
| 3484s | design things |
| 3488s | all right |
| 3490s | um would you consider making the Phantom |
| 3492s | whisper a week to solve amulet or |
| 3494s | possibly even to ancient magics |
| 3499s | um I'm probably gonna say no one myself |
| 3501s | because that does make it that does have |
| 3503s | quite a lot of DPS |
| 3504s | you're welcome |
| 3506s | um |
| 3507s | yeah it's just a slug like it's not |
| 3511s | Phantom I guess it's not Ghostly |
| 3516s | um it's just a slug all right get your |
| 3518s | salt bags out then |
| 3522s | um hidden mechanic that the guy was |
| 3524s | referencing with the oh no you leaked it |
| 3526s | oops |
| 3528s | I'm guessing they mean even weaker to |
| 3530s | ancient Magics uh we slightly made it |
| 3533s | weak to ancient Magics because catching |
| 3535s | a freeze is now a little bit easier if |
| 3536s | the bus isn't Frozen |
| 3539s | um |
| 3541s | weaker to wager Magics because it's |
| 3543s | already it's job it's a weird lore thing |
| 3546s | right so it's it's technically at least |
| 3548s | in the quest it's technically not a |
| 3550s | muster it's uh Jalen has turned himself |
| 3552s | into representation on most of us so |
| 3554s | you're actually attacking a majora |
| 3558s | probably wouldn't be weak magic that |
| 3561s | doesn't make any sense post Quest maybe |
| 3563s | we can stretch it a bit because it's |
| 3566s | technically not gel on that point it's |
| 3567s | like a manifestation of energy but it's |
| 3570s | not really a must for that point either |
| 3571s | but lore I don't know |
| 3574s | okay also people say Phantom I think |
| 3577s | it's just Phantom because I don't know |
| 3579s | just a lot of reasons yeah which are |
| 3582s | valid reasons to make it weak to solve |
| 3584s | for gameplay reasons I don't think |
| 3586s | they'll fly |
| 3588s | that's why it's a bow as well the law |
| 3589s | okay I'll ask these last two questions |
| 3592s | and uh maybe they'll be quick this one |
| 3594s | has a response that someone has wrote on |
| 3596s | here that says please ask it so I don't |
| 3598s | have to read anymore what is the point |
| 3600s | of the Frozen cash what does it do |
| 3603s | and it has good loot |
| 3606s | cool there you go thank you arcane |
| 3610s | will this boss get combat achievements |
| 3613s | yes it is a bus you'll get achievements |
| 3616s | eventually when everything's settled and |
| 3618s | we're ready to give achievements much |
| 3620s | like uh two of the musket did December |
| 3623s | which is like two months after release |
| 3625s | but that is a RAID so I expect it to not |
| 3627s | take as long |
| 3630s | okay we're getting right extra writing |
| 3634s | in around the Frozen cache with I am |
| 3636s | literally begging you it says please |
| 3638s | explain that it is |
| 3639s | you can explain this one okay can you |
| 3641s | see the sheet |
| 3642s | yeah so people are saying that it's bad |
| 3644s | it does it does a role on the the |
| 3646s | regular drop table it can give you |
| 3648s | unique so you can get venison shards out |
| 3650s | of it so it's like an additional role |
| 3651s | but it's heavily biased to be good so |
| 3654s | like it eliminates a lot of the bad |
| 3656s | drops of the drop table so it's a very |
| 3658s | strong role |
| 3661s | it does give good news but yes you can |
| 3664s | still get fire runes out of it sure but |
| 3666s | it generally will give you good stuff |
| 3668s | cool so it's like an extra drop from the |
| 3671s | boss that has a chance of getting better |
| 3672s | drops from the Boston and normal drop |
| 3674s | does |
| 3676s | yeah because it's affects the actual |
| 3677s | role in the unique drop table which you |
| 3679s | wouldn't normally get |
