325s	winner just after the next section which
328s	leads me quite nicely onto once I can
330s	get him to sit there we go
332s	um we actually have a wonderful video
335s	that's been put together by a creator
336s	that we have been working with quite a
338s	bit recently poison potion who'll be
340s	running through some of the smaller
343s	updates but before then why don't we
345s	have a quick talk about what's happened
346s	already this year because we have
349s	obviously had the winter Summit and
351s	we've released content since then I
353s	think the first one maybe we can talk
355s	about secrets of the north secret to the
357s	north I think that was January we
358s	launched it right like a brand new Quest
360s	it links heavily to one will come on to
363s	talk if I just in a minute with the
365s	muffler boss and the new venator bow be
367s	experimental of a weapon I think a lot
370s	of players commented doesn't necessarily
371s	have a ton of use on launch but it now
375s	does obviously and I think that's that's
377s	part and part of maybe how a lot of
379s	these future things might go I like us
381s	being quite experimental with some of
383s	the new weapons we introduced they have
385s	Niche effects that allows us to utilize
387s	the combat system in new ways so I'm
389s	quite quite excited about that what did
390s	you think of it yeah I think it's
392s	awesome I know that initially when the
393s	venator bow was announced players kind
395s	of slept on it a little bit and rightly
397s	so there weren't a huge amount of uses
398s	for it but that is the beauty of old
400s	school is that as we develop content
402s	with items that may have been out in
404s	Past Times or even for future updates we
407s	can kind of design mechanics around
408s	those niches and one of the best things
411s	that we've been doing I think over
413s	recent times is filling those niches or
414s	creating them at the same time so
416s	awesome to see Speaking of awesome the
419s	next update really that we should talk
420s	about was Bounty Hunter obviously one of
422s	the most iconic PVP game modes to have
424s	existed period yes it went through its
428s	phases of being in the game not being in
430s	the game being back in and then not but
432s	it's here now and it's here to stay and
434s	I think the reception to it overall when
436s	it first released was phenomenal we've
438s	seen so much content come out of it our
439s	creators are just absolutely pumping out
441s	videos I really hope that we get to
444s	spend some time in the future as well
445s	exploring what more we can do with
447s	Bounty Hunter new rewards maybe
449s	different types of Creator modes for
451s	example
452s	um but what do you think is next for PVP
455s	Karen well we've already been talking
457s	about one thing called dead man we might
460s	be talking about that bit more very
462s	shortly so keep a listening for that but
465s	I'm with you I think there's there's a
466s	lot more love needed for for Bounty
468s	Hunter indeed PVP broadly why we do have
471s	one of our development teams largely now
473s	focused towards PVP almost entirely so
475s	do expect lots of other small
477s	improvements over the course of the next
479s	yoga too essentially it'll be an ongoing
481s	sort of matter
484s	you want to go for the last one and
486s	obviously just a few weeks ago now we
488s	launched desert Treasure 2 for new
490s	bosses sequel to the iconic Quest and
492s	frankly put like one of the most
494s	ambitious quests we've ever done I hope
497s	everybody can can recognize that for
499s	long Quest I think people have really
501s	really enjoyed it some ambition with
503s	some of the new sort of gameplay going
505s	on in the strangle word uh the puzzles
508s	content within the LaSalle and the city
510s	which what an area by the way the music
513s	the graphics everything just works so
515s	well together literally like we were
517s	blown away in turn to live by what the
519s	team was making it's so good to see that
521s	recognized from the player base as well
523s	and obviously not only that four brand
525s	new bosses and I've seen people have had
526s	a lot of fun with those
528s	the awakened films as well knows popped
530s	off as well people seem to really like
532s	that but for quite a cool system of the
534s	awakened orbs and then we were
536s	experimenting with drop tables there's
537s	loads we could talk about endlessly who
539s	doesn't treasure too but there is the
541s	hype's still going people are still
542s	playing the bosses in their droves
543s	absolutely I think it would be a you
545s	know one thing we definitely probably
546s	should touch on as well is the fact that
548s	many of you obviously were looking
549s	forward to new prayers for example we
551s	know they didn't make it into the game
552s	in the end I think that's one of the
554s	beauties of our new way of approaching
557s	content with consultation and the
558s	community in mind is that if we really
560s	don't feel like something is going to be
562s	released in the form that it really
563s	should then we can you know kind of
565s	adjust and accommodate in other ways and
569s	I hope now that a lot of players have
571s	realized just the sheer scope of desert
574s	Treasure 2 and why it was so difficult
575s	for us to pull those prayers off
576s	correctly I think we've learned a lot
578s	from consultation and looking back now
581s	we we really should have approached that
583s	in a different way similar to how we've
585s	approached the the potential new skills
587s	sailing for example it something like a
590s	prayer book has such a massive impact on
592s	the game probably as significant as a
594s	new skill does so that's definitely been
596s	a big learning point for us that we
597s	really need to make sure that when there
599s	are larger game changing content updates
602s	that we just spend a lot more time
603s	planning dealing with the community
605s	handling feedback making sure that
607s	everything is in place before we
609s	actually go ahead and juggling a brand
611s	new quest for new bosses loads of new
614s	areas to explore was maybe a little bit
616s	too much to just bundle in prayers as
618s	well but I don't think it's going to be
619s	the end for prayers I'm sure we'll
620s	ReDiscover I'll re-engage with that
622s	topic again in the future it's
624s	definitely popular there's still loads
626s	of great suggestions that the
627s	communities Community has been
628s	discussing on Reddit and so on there's
630s	this idea of like having a god alignment
632s	system a lot of people seem to really
633s	like that I know several people
635s	internally like quite like the idea as
637s	well I don't know when we'll revisit
638s	prayers but we know you like it we know
641s	you want to see something with prayers
642s	and the skills got plenty of room to do
644s	that with for sure but we'll definitely
646s	give it the time to get it right that's
647s	it the treasure too it's packed full of
649s	rewards anyway there's plenty of reason
651s	to do it plenty of reason to do those
652s	bosses absolutely is and we've always
654s	got that reward in our back pockets now
656s	and if you were listening very uh
658s	closely at earlier on I I said we were
661s	going to go with some of the smaller
662s	content updates even though I have a
663s	huge iPad almost bigger than my forehead
665s	in my hands I'd still managed to mess up
667s	the show order so apologies production I
669s	did hear them Panic a little bit we're
671s	actually going to go into something
672s	entirely different and it is something
674s	that you are pretty much already aware
676s	of the fact that it's happening we
677s	released a Blog around it recently but
679s	we have a fantastic video with some of
680s	the developers who have been working on
682s	dead man that we'd like to show you and
684s	then we'll be joined by mod Max to
686s	answer a few questions that we have so
688s	roll the VT and enjoy
692s	my name's Seb also known as mod Max
694s	these days and in 2017 I won dead man
698s	mode in 2018 I won All-Stars and in 2019
701s	we also won another dead man mode which
704s	was great I now work at jagex as a
707s	junior content developer and it is my
709s	dream job and it's amazing
712s	[Music]
714s	Spider-Man is a temporary game mode in
716s	which you have a brand new save profile
719s	separate to your own one and over the
721s	course of some weeks you get to play the
723s	game again with different effects except
726s	because it's dead man it's PVP basically
728s	everywhere
731s	the community is always very important
734s	for us so we've actually collected a lot
738s	of feedback and advice from the previous
740s	statement and the important thing here
742s	is to make sure the dive team and the
744s	community are on the same page
748s	it's not the previous deadline events we
751s	will be giving you a Stars Pack when you
752s	join the server this time we're giving
754s	you a staff that can testify a strike as
758s	well as a bow that can find some decent
760s	arrows and these will increase in damage
762s	and strength as you go through the
764s	combat brackets to give you something
765s	that at least has use going forward
770s	in the future we're hoping to transition
773s	accounts to world 45. if the community
775s	wants it so we've kept this in mind and
778s	we're going to make the XB rates still
781s	good but they're not going to be too
783s	excessive we will give you increased XP
786s	as you play the game we have five
788s	servers based on combat brackets and
790s	every time you progress between them the
791s	XP multiplier will increase as you go up
793s	so you can get some very sweet gains
798s	it's a point-based system is a new
800s	season we have introduced this time the
803s	important thing here is the more
804s	difficult the high risks of the activity
806s	you've done the more point you will earn
809s	from this system you've got clear
810s	Scrolls you get points you do bosses you
812s	get points you get levels you get points
815s	anything you do that can mean literally
816s	contribute to your game should get you
818s	points
820s	so because there is PVP almost
823s	everywhere you'd think that PKS are the
826s	main priority for dead man however
829s	there's a lot of players who like to
830s	play for the pure aspect of survival the
833s	pure thrill of running around in-game
836s	doing some content you love but then
838s	there's also a danger
842s	apocalypse there will be events
844s	happening twice a day where we will be
846s	spawning a whole multitude of bosses
847s	such as general Grado and krill sarath
850s	his eyebrows
853s	they are very powerful and dangerous
855s	monsters so players will need to make
858s	decisions as a time to decide if they
860s	want to take the risk to fight this
862s	monster earn the point and the rare
864s	reward
870s	these breaches you're going to be
871s	fighting a lot of bosses and a lot of
873s	players so naturally the road has to be
875s	worth it what we're offering you are
877s	blighted weapons copies of existing
880s	powerful items that are usable in dead
882s	man but accessible from these breaches
884s	instead
887s	the three life system is actually a
889s	pretty interesting one but also it's a
892s	punishing one for the new players it
894s	helped for the first two deaths but
895s	unfortunately on the third death it was
897s	just far too punishing so again we want
899s	this dead man apocalypse to be extremely
901s	fun and enjoyable and not too punishing
904s	so you can play more casually and not
906s	feel like you're really far behind and
908s	if you die everything's lost
912s	I think the studio is also a system has
915s	been worked really well from the last
916s	time as no people have been loving that
918s	and we've got a lot of feedback about
921s	how we can make them better one utility
923s	sigil is the Sigil of Vengeance now you
927s	might think why would we want Vengeance
929s	you can just use a spell book for that
931s	well you could just be on the ancient
933s	spell book and also have Vengeance which
935s	will be an extremely different meta and
938s	make fights extremely scary and there'll
940s	be several sigils like that that will
942s	change up both Peking and pvme
946s	in previous dead man events we had a 1v1
950s	finale for this one we are changing
951s	things off the bits we are going to have
953s	multiple finale's going on at the same
955s	time essentially we are going to have
956s	multiple worlds that anyone who's
958s	participated in dead man can join so
960s	you'll be constantly fighting people to
962s	the death while this is going on and
964s	then we're going to throw General radar
965s	at you again we are embracing the chaos
968s	for this this is not a hardcore tone
970s	this is a fun explosion we are just
972s	going to throw everything at a wall and
974s	hope it sticks and we're going to have a
975s	good time doing it
978s	all right
980s	[Music]
985s	and as F5 magic we are suddenly joined
988s	by the wonderful mod manked the absolute
990s	Behemoth in the PVP scene and one of the
993s	greatest new additions to the old school
995s	team absolute pleasure to have you here
997s	how are you doing today doing wonderful
998s	very excited for this good well my first
1001s	question for you is I have to ask it
1003s	because it will be a miss not to you're
1005s	a player before you were a developer as
1007s	well as a seasoned PVP and Deadman mode
1009s	veteran how different is it being on the
1012s	other side now that you're part of the
1013s	team
1014s	it's it's great to see everyone's
1016s	passion in the team you can tell
1017s	everything that goes into updates is
1019s	just from the heart you know and
1022s	personally for me because Dead Man's a
1025s	limited time game mode it only lasts for
1027s	like three weeks normally but because
1028s	I'm now working on it I can experience
1030s	it for like three months and I could
1031s	just think about dead man for so much
1033s	longer it's so good
1035s	it's so cute
1037s	I feel a little bit heartworm to be
1039s	honest it's like
1040s	you said dead man better this man won
1043s	yeah he's one dead man like that's
1047s	serious
1048s	um
1049s	right obviously you're relatively new to
1051s	the team still I've been interested in
1052s	like what's been your sort of biggest
1054s	learning throughout this project yeah um
1056s	dead man there's there's so much scope
1059s	there's so much possibility with it
1061s	um so really nailing down what you want
1064s	to include is a big challenge because
1067s	there's so many ideas there's so many
1068s	routes you can go down it's just so
1070s	difficult you know picking one so
1072s	um yeah we can always explore loads of
1074s	different options and hopefully this one
1075s	is very different to the past so
1077s	hopefully players really enjoy it
1079s	awesome so it's very different from the
1081s	past how excited should players be for
1084s	dead man apocalypse and
1086s	you've already said how it will be very
1089s	different but like just how different do
1090s	you think it will be from previous
1091s	iterations so I think players should be
1094s	really excited if you've never played it
1095s	before this will be the perfect dead man
1097s	for you to to get involved with
1100s	um the reason is there's just going to
1102s	be so much different stuff going on and
1104s	like I said there's different stuff so
1106s	breaches for example they're going to be
1108s	spawning all over the world every few
1111s	hours we've posted that in the blog so
1112s	you guys can see exactly when it is but
1115s	there's gonna be loads of bosses loads
1117s	of PKS trying to kill other people
1118s	killing the bosses
1120s	um it's just gonna be chaos but it's
1122s	going to be so much fun it's going to be
1123s	great for all involved
1125s	awesome I mean you're obviously a PVP
1128s	wizard there's plenty of people in the
1129s	chat who I'm sure are pro PPP players as
1131s	well it's not the right terminology
1134s	it just kind of came out
1137s	but what about those who have never
1139s	really done a PVP or less experienced in
1141s	PvP why should they try out dead man
1143s	apocalypse so there's a new point system
1146s	um which everyone can get involved with
1148s	if you're doing Clues you get points
1150s	like Simon or sorry uh like uh that was
1153s	said in a teaser okay Kirby that's the
1156s	name thank you
1158s	um and you can just do a range of
1159s	activities if you enjoy pvm clothes do
1162s	an achievement Diaries you know you get
1163s	points you go to breaches you get loads
1165s	of points
1167s	um it's just something for everyone and
1169s	we've got brackets as well this time
1171s	around so if someone's like myself I
1174s	used to play several hours a day and it
1177s	used to be really difficult to compete
1178s	with someone like me but now we've got
1180s	brackets so that's really going to limit
1182s	uh how how far ahead someone like me
1185s	could get against someone who's only
1187s	playing one or two hours a day so it
1189s	should be a lot more casual friendly and
1191s	you can just go at your own pace and if
1192s	you're working you know nine to five
1194s	then you can get home and enjoy yourself
1196s	awesome I have to say I think combat
1199s	brackets are one of my favorite changes
1200s	that happened in dead man reborn so I'm
1202s	really glad to see them come back
1202s	because so many players just made really
1205s	whack builds that fit a particular
1207s	combat bracket and I I think one of the
1209s	things I love the most about PVP is the
1212s	variety of how many different builds and
1215s	setups you can have and dead man pushes
1216s	that to the next level because of the XP
1218s	loss and the items that you can't
1220s	normally attain as well as the sigils
1222s	it's it's just PVP on steroids it's
1224s	insane but what are you most excited for
1227s	about this iteration of dead man in
1228s	particular is there one thing that you
1230s	think is going to take over the meta I
1232s	think you touched on the Sigil of a
1234s	Vengeance are there any others like that
1235s	that we haven't mentioned that you might
1237s	be thinking
1238s	um I'm not going to mention them because
1239s	I just want everyone to find them out
1241s	when they get them in game and I think
1243s	it should be really fun but breaches
1245s	will just be crazy they'll be so much
1247s	fun they'll be so different to what
1249s	we've had in the past it will give
1250s	everyone kind of a reason every day to
1251s	to log in and compete with each other as
1254s	well as the point system I think like
1256s	you said the it's now called the trinket
1258s	of Vengeance and there are other
1259s	trinkets like that uh such as the
1261s	trinket of Undead and they're really
1264s	powerful they mean you don't have to be
1265s	on that spell book so you don't have to
1267s	be on the Arceus spell book to use um
1269s	those thralls yes wow so it's just going
1271s	to completely change the meta there's so
1273s	many new sigils that are going to
1275s	completely change the metaphor pvm as
1277s	well uh and PVP it's just going to be
1279s	really fun and there's going to be so
1281s	much content from it okay all right
1283s	I have to start playing myself
1288s	uh what are the one of the things that's
1290s	changed this time is the the 1v1
1292s	finale's maybe you're better to talk
1294s	about this though easier but why have we
1296s	decided to move away from the format
1298s	we've stuck with with dead run for quite
1300s	a while sure okay I think what first and
1302s	foremost one of the most obvious things
1304s	is we've all experienced dead man over
1305s	the years we've run so many of them now
1307s	and I think it's safe to say that the
1309s	majority if not all of them were played
1311s	with issues uh mostly related to issues
1315s	over having things running on the
1317s	internet Network attacks that kind of
1318s	thing nefarious play uh players just
1320s	really ruining the event for others and
1322s	obviously we've also experienced
1323s	technical issues ourselves with bugs and
1325s	problems that we've looked to resolve
1327s	over time so that was one of the main
1329s	drivers for us of looking to have a
1332s	different format in the future it's
1334s	something that I would like us to
1335s	re-explore and potentially see if there
1337s	is a lan element that we can bring into
1339s	dead man perhaps after multiple Dead
1341s	Man's over the course or a period of
1342s	time for example but for this one it
1344s	really was just about if we're going to
1345s	bring dead man back how do we do it and
1347s	make sure that people still have a
1348s	really good time without having the
1351s	traditional 1v1 finale setting that we
1353s	had and I remember it was a it was a few
1356s	years back now and I was just I think we
1358s	were sat after a previous dead man in
1360s	the hotel bar chatting around what we
1361s	could do and I just was like what if we
1363s	just made an apocalypse what if we just
1366s	ruined the world and suddenly the whole
1368s	of gilino was spawned with bosses and
1370s	that was what people did and we just got
1372s	to talk about it and watch players just
1374s	get decimated by Bosses they would
1377s	normally fight in instances or different
1378s	areas or if Zuck just suddenly appeared
1381s	to be floating around falador what would
1383s	happen in those instances how would
1384s	players react and for some crazy surreal
1388s	reason the designers decided to take
1391s	that upon themselves to make it into an
1392s	actual thing and we now have dead man
1394s	apocalypse and I love the idea of
1395s	breaches and I think the fact of that
1398s	kind of like culminating over the course
1399s	of three weeks into this epic finale
1402s	where there's just so much going on will
1404s	make for a really really different X
1406s	viewing experience one that we've never
1407s	seen before so yeah experimenting with
1410s	something new but also trying to avoid
1411s	some of the issues that we've had in
1412s	their past
1414s	Okay so
1416s	are you gonna be playing banked we know
1418s	you can't compete but surely you've got
1420s	to be going out there and slaying some
1422s	moves of course I could not there's just
1425s	so much for for me personally to be
1427s	excited about I I know how crazy it's
1429s	going to be so I'm definitely going to
1431s	jump in gonna have multiple accounts all
1433s	the different brackets it's gonna be so
1434s	much fun another great thing about dead
1437s	man this time around is everything's
1439s	actually going into all the accounts are
1440s	going into World 45 after so you no
1443s	longer lose your progress anymore it's
1444s	no longer a temporary game mode because
1446s	all the progress you make will transfer
1448s	to World 45 and you'll forever have that
1450s	which is amazing as well yeah it'd be
1452s	really nice to see some new life being
1454s	breathe into those servers as well I
1456s	know that there's been discussions for
1457s	ages around should we reset them should
1459s	we do something else should we let X be
1461s	transfer over I think the way that we've
1463s	approached it this way around is
1464s	actually one of the best if not the best
1466s	thing that we could have done outside of
1467s	a reset so really excited to see how
1469s	that comes down and grateful for the
1470s	fact that we managed to get that in
1472s	awesome right one last question Mount as
1475s	the expert what is one piece of advice
1479s	if you can share one thing for players
1481s	who are going to be playing dead man
1482s	apocalypse
1484s	take care at your own pace do what you
1486s	enjoy doing in game
1488s	always bring food on you because the
1490s	amount of people I've killed in dead man
1491s	that don't have food on them is crazy so
1493s	please if you are playing dead man just
1496s	bring food with you wherever you go and
1498s	always think where's my escape and
1500s	you'll win you'll just you won't die as
1502s	much I promise you that
1504s	so basically eat food and you don't die
1506s	yes
1508s	skill specs I'm calling you out in
1510s	particular
1512s	all right so as a final reminder we've
1514s	touched on the release date dead man
1516s	apocalypse goes live on August the 25th
1519s	that is very soon so thanks for you on

1537s	make progress the world will close on
1540s	Friday September the 15th but that's not
1542s	where the journey ends because the day

1546s	about will open on Saturday September

1643s	safe and sound for now at least anyway
1644s	all right
1646s	so let's recorrect my mistake from
1649s	before we mentioned we're going to talk
1651s	about some of the small updates that you
1652s	can expect coming out over the next six
1654s	months and into early 2024 and this is
1657s	now time for the video from poison
1658s	potion so roll the VT
1663s	hello everyone this is poison potion or
1665s	PP for short and I'll be filling you in
1667s	on some of these smaller updates to old
1668s	school RuneScape within the next few
1670s	months
1671s	[Music]
1676s	coming in Autumn 2023 there are some
1678s	eagerly awaited changes to chambers of
1680s	zaric as we all know Chambers is the
1682s	only randomly generated raid which to
1684s	some people may be more enjoyable but
1685s	for others they prefer to have a bit
1687s	more control in their encounters which
1689s	is why the team is hoping to implement a
1690s	solution one proposal could be using
1692s	tokens that could potentially alter
1694s	layouts to your liking these tokens
1696s	could be obtained at the end of The Raid
1697s	or purchase for GP outside of the raid
1699s	how exactly something like this would be
1701s	implemented would be up to the players
1702s	additionally jagix wants to provide a
1704s	scaling system at Chambers this would
1706s	allow players to make a raid more
1708s	difficult without having to use multiple
1709s	alt accounts before starting it's not
1711s	decided yet on whether or not upping the
1713s	scale of a rage should cost anything but
1715s	that info will come out later finally
1716s	the team will also be looking at
1718s	balancing and quality of life
1719s	improvements for Chambers check out the
1721s	blog for more information and tell the
1722s	team what you think of their proposals
1726s	foreign
1730s	moving on to the final forestry launch
1732s	the recent poll saw everything pass
1734s	which means very soon we'll be seeing
1736s	things like campfires to train fire
1737s	making two-handed axes Sawmill vouchers
1739s	and a whole host of new events which
1741s	will give out new cosmetic items such as
1743s	the Pheasant outfit so with laid-back
1744s	skills in fashionscape is some of your
1746s	favorite content you'll be very happy
1748s	very soon
1750s	[Music]
1753s	now let's get into a new Quest or rather
1756s	an old Quest path of glossary an
1759s	experienced level Quest on The Gnome
1760s	storyline originally released back in
1762s	September 2007 just weeks after the
1765s	August backup on which old school
1766s	RuneScape was based the team is
1768s	proposing that path of glossary returns
1770s	with some old school polish and new
1771s	rewards a new unique from them would be
1773s	the Warped scepter a magic staff that
1775s	sits between the iben staff and the
1777s	Trident of the seas in power level this
1778s	is to help balance out mid-level magic
1780s	damage progression if this is something
1782s	that interests you then be on the
1783s	lookout for the pool coming soon if it's
1785s	voted in you can expect to see this
1786s	Quest as early as one month from now
1789s	thank you
1793s	foreign
1795s	[Music]
1798s	to talk about gameplay for all of you
1801s	noobs out there jagex is hoping to flesh
1803s	out mid-level content a bit more in the
1805s	near future and that's why in Winter
1806s	2023 they'd like to release an encounter
1808s	that helps introduce players to the
1810s	fundamentals of combat going from
1811s	simpler content such as bryophyta
1813s	barrows and sorakness to content like
1815s	Zora raids and necks can be a bit
1817s	jarring for new players ideally this
1819s	update will introduce a boss that is a
1821s	bit more mechanically intensive but will
1822s	still be viable for players on their
1824s	journey to Max combat check out the blog
1825s	for a bit more information on this and
1827s	share feedback as well as ideas you may
1829s	have that's just about all I've got for
1831s	you today again my name is poison potion
1833s	or PP for short and always remember big
1835s	things come in small updates Karen Aiza
1838s	back to you
1843s	thank you so much for that poison potion
1846s	or PP for short and we are now joined by
1849s	the absolutely handsome mod Squall I
1850s	mean mod Sween my apologies
1856s	come on you've ruined it now it's meant
1859s	to just be all smooth and calm and
1860s	casual but right never mind sweet how
1862s	are you doing today very well good it's
1863s	absolute pleasure to have you with us
1865s	pleasure to be here I've been enjoying
1866s	this show so far good a lot of
1867s	nervousness beforehand yeah just a
1869s	little I think we're finding a bit of a
1870s	comfy clothes we'll get in there you
1872s	know I messed up a little bit in terms
1873s	of the show flow but it's okay what's
1875s	what's life about a little bit of danger
1876s	it's fine it's all right you're under
1878s	pressure now it's time for some
1879s	questions yeah and swing
1881s	um why are we sharing smaller updates in
1884s	the summit isn't this typically the time
1885s	that we're going to do the big big
1887s	announcements typically it is the time
1888s	we do the big big announcements um
1890s	winter Summit went really well but we
1892s	did have I'm gonna look here we did have
1894s	some feedback last time not much like
1895s	not much in a way of critical feedback
1897s	but a lot of players felt as though we
1898s	weren't paying enough attention or at
1900s	least talking about paying enough
1901s	attention to existing content fixing
1903s	content so this time around even though
1905s	I know a lot of these aren't the most
1907s	exciting and um stay tuned for the most
1909s	exciting announcements I've got the I've
1911s	got the I've been stitched up a bit I've
1912s	got the dregs to announce that's fine I
1914s	don't know Chad was pogging off some of
1916s	the things that are going on there
1916s	Chambers and Pog especially yeah it's
1919s	good stuff but generally even though
1920s	there'll be some naysayers like we don't
1922s	care about these little smaller things I
1923s	think it's a lose-lose situation either
1925s	we don't talk about what we do either
1927s	way someone's going to say something uh
1929s	showing it on a roadmap is the best
1931s	thing for everyone it's a more
1932s	transparent way of looking at things
1933s	longer term so that's why
1935s	awesome thank you all right now before
1938s	we ask you about the other content
1940s	announcements I just want to talk about
1941s	forestry briefly we obviously put that
1943s	up in there in the video as well it is
1944s	going to be coming out late this year
1945s	but I know that there was a lot of
1947s	conversation within the community around
1949s	forestry so let's address that very
1951s	quickly
1952s	um forestry was one of the first
1954s	projects that we put through the new
1955s	form of community consultation with the
1957s	new polling approach and I think it's
1959s	safe to say that we have learned a
1960s	significant amount in that time it has
1962s	definitely shown us the kind of things
1964s	that we should and we shouldn't do
1965s	during consultation and how we should
1967s	and shouldn't approach things at the
1968s	same time you'll notice that a lot of
1970s	the rewards the tea leave affects
1972s	especially we just cut those out after
1974s	the second round of feedback came
1975s	through it was quite clear that you
1976s	didn't want them and that's something
1978s	that we're going to continue to do
1979s	hopefully we'll be able to get there a
1981s	little bit sooner next time but that is
1983s	something that I think we as a community
1984s	should start getting accustomed to we're
1986s	going to ask you questions that might
1987s	offer content that you may not like and
1989s	it is your role and duty to tell us if
1991s	you don't like them it's then down to us
1992s	to make sure that we don't put them out
1994s	to you when it comes to the poll and
1995s	that's exactly what we tried to do with
1997s	forestry and hopefully as we've said
1999s	we've learned a lot from it we'll be
2001s	able to continue and make sure that the
2002s	rest of the content we offer in a
2003s	similar vein can only be improved
2005s	onwards going forward so yeah that was
2009s	pretty much it I just wanted to make
2009s	sure I addressed it I saw a few people
2011s	mentioning it in the chat
2012s	um we can carry on with the rest of the
2014s	questions now yeah I would say the
2015s	two-handed axes are looking pretty thick
2017s	yeah they do you know actually one one
2019s	of the great things about your feedback
2020s	is I think we saw within the first day
2022s	of showing off the images of the
2023s	two-handed axes you didn't like the pose
2025s	that they were using so we went to the
2026s	art team gave that feedback and within
2029s	the next day we turned around and said
2030s	you know what we're going to change it
2030s	we're going to give them exactly how you
2031s	want them because it does look badass
2033s	the very basics of the point of
2035s	consultation exactly
2037s	um pathography why are we bringing it
2039s	back so last year sometime there was a
2042s	big survey about kind of quest porting
2044s	bringing quests from RuneScape free but
2046s	with an old school twist and path of
2047s	gluffy was one of the most popular
2048s	choices so we went for it and uh I think
2052s	some people will have picked up on what
2053s	it might mean longer term but some
2054s	people need a less subtle hint if you
2057s	look at what the quest unlocks in RS3
2058s	the other quests that come after it
2060s	maybe there's some exciting stuff ahead
2062s	oh that's a that's a tease a little bit
2065s	go and look it up so you mentioned old
2068s	school twists what's actually going to
2071s	be different with this release so the
2073s	quest originally unlocked the poison
2074s	waste dungeon with two slave creatures
2076s	that's probably the most notable unlock
2077s	beyond the other quests that come after
2078s	it uh people didn't like these Slayer
2080s	creatures they Slayer blast the the drop
2082s	tables weren't great they didn't feel
2083s	too rewarding they were quite annoying
2085s	they automatically unlocked you had to
2087s	go and do them you had to manually use
2088s	the crystal chime on the monsters so
2091s	this time we're going to make it like
2092s	less awkward less annoying better call
2095s	changes
2096s	um rebounce drop tables and add a new
2099s	stuff as poison potion uh mentioned the
2101s	Warped scepter which kind of mid-level
2103s	powered staff sit between a bit like
2105s	tried and sit between I've been staff
2107s	awesome okay well let's move on from POG
2110s	for now and talk about chamber scouting
2112s	we're finally allowing players to
2114s	determine the raid layout themselves
2116s	obviously we've got the video out there
2118s	there's a Blog but just quickly could
2119s	you maybe give us a bit of an
2120s	explanation on how it will work and will
2122s	there be a cost Associated for that for
2124s	example
2124s	so we think we know how it will work but
2127s	ultimately one player feedback we know
2128s	what we're trying to solve in terms of
2130s	how we actually do it that's probably
2131s	where players should tell us what we're
2133s	thinking and as poison potion said is
2135s	maybe with some kind of currency you get
2137s	from the raid or maybe just directly
2139s	through GP we give you some level of
2141s	customization but we don't totally let
2142s	you you know ruin the magical Chambers
2145s	um the variety is great it's the only
2146s	kind of braid like that where it could
2148s	be multiple different layouts in
2150s	different orders we want to keep that a
2151s	little bit so whether it's a token you
2153s	get from doing the raids or whether it's
2154s	GP or a bit of both don't know let us
2156s	know what you think we want to maybe let
2159s	you choose to exclude some rooms filter
2161s	some rooms or maybe we give you working
2163s	with you to understand what it should be
2164s	some layouts to choose from awesome okay
2167s	and maybe for those who are less
2168s	informed when it comes to chambers of
2170s	Zurich and higher end rating scaling why
2172s	did we feel the need to change that so
2174s	it's a funny one right like the people
2176s	already doing the scaling probably don't
2177s	care about the change because they're
2178s	used to it already but if we really
2180s	think about the content it's weird and
2182s	it's not great that you have to use old
2183s	accounts or phones accounts or borrowed
2185s	accounts or other people's accounts or
2186s	any other account that you you know you
2188s	don't really want to play on other than
2190s	to scout with not a great look so that's
2192s	what you want to try and fix that's what
2193s	I'm going to try and address hopefully
2195s	it will lead to more people doing
2196s	Chambers at a higher level awesome all
2199s	right sounds really good I think they're
2200s	two very welcome changes within the
2202s	community especially so something we've
2204s	seen people are shouting for for quite a
2205s	while now and it deserves some love
2207s	because I know it's still a very much
2209s	well-loved red and really it's kind of
2211s	one we've been not like kicking down the
2213s	road but we've talked about it a lot for
2214s	quite a long time it's not just players
2216s	asking for it we've been addressing it
2217s	too so it's about time I think yeah
2219s	absolutely
2221s	um the last thing mentioned in the video
2222s	was a mid-level pvm boss it's something
2225s	I'm particularly passionate about trying
2226s	to create an accessible piece of content
2228s	here
2229s	um what's made us decide to do this now
2231s	swing so
2234s	that kind of the early game experience
2235s	has been something we've tried to work
2236s	on for a long time now and I think it's
2240s	you know the order of announcements here
2241s	is interesting because we've gone
2242s	straight to mid-level people like who
2244s	cares about that but maybe stay tuned
2245s	and hear something cooler ready for you
2247s	but for other players how do they get
2249s	into endgame pvm
2251s	um you know contrary to what some
2252s	players might think some content
2253s	creators might think we really do like
2255s	making endgame stuff but we have to
2257s	think about accessibility and people get
2259s	into the content what a mid-level boss
2261s	the way we were looking at it allow us
2262s	to do is move more players from being
2265s	you know silly little noobs who don't
2266s	know how to kill stuff they can go and
2268s	do brains they can go and do the D3
2270s	bosses they can go and do Tob they can
2271s	go and do that kind of content so this
2274s	isn't about us just trying to dump a ton
2276s	of content on noobs and call it a day
2279s	it's about us trying to get as many
2280s	noobs to the end game as possible so
2282s	then we can really make more end game
2283s	content and give players more challenges
2285s	and say the more players we have at that
2286s	level then the more demand there is for
2288s	that content as well we obviously know
2290s	there's a demand there but at the end of
2292s	the day we have to make sure that we're
2293s	serving the entire community at the same
2294s	time so really uh really good I'm glad
2297s	to see that coming as well it's
2298s	something that I've definitely
2299s	experienced myself thankfully I've had a
2302s	lot of help along the way to just jump
2303s	straight into end game content but other
2305s	people aren't as fortunate to be able to
2306s	do that so the learning curve can be
2309s	quite steep so I think we just need to
2312s	Simply ask for patience ask a bit of
2313s	Trust From The Players our motivations
2315s	for this for this mid-level content are
2317s	pretty genuine you know we do want to
2319s	get make players better so we can
2321s	release harder content more often more
2322s	regularly there's a golf yeah you know
2325s	going Beyond barrels trying to get your
2327s	first fire game and stuff that's quite a
2328s	big gap all this stuff's gonna let us
2330s	teach you like it's starting to switch
2332s	your prayers starting to change your
2333s	gear and respond to things exactly move
2335s	around appropriately get your reaction
2337s	time to be better like all this stuff
2339s	hopefully we will start to bridge that
2340s	Gap and make a big difference there
2343s	um with that said if you do want to read
2344s	up more details on all of this we've got
2346s	another exclamation mark for you and
2348s	this one's insane excavation mug hug
2350s	everyone's favorite word
2352s	um get in there and it will show you all
2355s	the info about Chambers path of um path
2357s	of glittery that's the name right you're
2359s	about to say you're outside Poe I
2361s	thought I don't know
2364s	and obviously the mid-level the
2366s	mid-level pvm update too
2368s	um before I do disappear yeah I think
2369s	one more thing as well we haven't
2370s	mentioned seasonal events there'll be a
2372s	Halloween event there'll be Christmas
2373s	event we haven't mentioned the normal
2374s	quality of life poles like poll 80 is
2376s	still kind of ready to come out and then
2377s	there might be a poll 81 for the rest of
2379s	the year and also soon we'll be ready to
2381s	start talking about the blood rooms and
2382s	I'll design I'll plan for blood runes in
2384s	the next few weeks I wasn't quite ready
2385s	for the stream but soon
2387s	but it's well in progress I know that's
2389s	for sure definitely say it's well in
2391s	progress we've had mod Goblin on the
2392s	case working through the blog and I'm
2394s	just going to take this moment very
2395s	quickly we've got so many Fantastic
2396s	staff members helping out with the event
2398s	today from production to the designers
2400s	to this community team so if you want
2403s	make sure you throw some love in the
2404s	chat show your appreciation for everyone
2406s	working behind the scenes it's not by
2407s	Magic that the blogs suddenly go live as
2409s	we're talking about them there are
2410s	people behind the scenes not having as
2412s	much fun as we are here on the stream to
2414s	make that happen so big shout out to
2415s	everyone for making this possible and I
2417s	think we can now maybe just quickly go
2420s	into deciding who or not deciding it's
2422s	already been decided but announcing who
2424s	won the knee plush so I'm going to take
2426s	this opportunity to just

2497s	so cute absolutely all right now let's
2500s	have a look we've just announced a fair
2502s	bunch of our pieces so what does the
2505s	road map look like so far
2509s	oh well it's pretty different from how
2512s	it was before there's a lot that's been
2514s	filled up in there now we've obviously
2515s	talked about dead man the chambers of
2516s	zeric changes path of glossary forestry
2518s	coming out really soon a Halloween event
2521s	oh and yet to be announced pretty big
2523s	box that is I wonder what it could be I
2526s	guess you'd have to carry on watching to
2528s	find out then we've got a Christmas
2530s	event the mid-level pvm update and then
2532s	what's that another little box to unveil
2535s	oh I guess you're just gonna have to
2536s	carry on watching what a shame
2539s	how are you feeling so far does that
2541s	does that road map excite you that is
2543s	exciting that's a whole host of exciting
2545s	things in there in that small section
2547s	that's a sort of core bread and butter
2549s	now it's time for some cake soon
2553s	okay excited um but before before we get
2557s	to that
2558s	it's time for the little sellout section
2560s	it is everybody's favorite section of
2562s	the stream it's my favorite section for
2564s	sure yeah absolutely so
2567s	we are offering a special discount 10
2570s	off Premier membership for the next 48
2573s	hours that is a very short period of
2575s	time this is the best value membership
2578s	package that we offer and we've made it
2580s	even better to celebrate the summer
2582s	Summit and the future of old school all
2584s	you need to do is simply go to the store
2586s	purchase the 12-month package and the
2589s	discount will automatically be applied I
2592s	believe you could do exclamation mark
2593s	sub or exclamation mark membership in
2595s	the chat to get to that but you can see
2597s	on screen like it's that's a pretty
2599s	decent price it is and I think just
2602s	something to to make people aware of is
2603s	that there is already currently or has
2606s	been an offer on Premier membership for
2608s	a while now it was made I believe 44
2610s	cheaper on average and this is an
2612s	additional 10 on top of that so if
2614s	you're looking at it in terms of GBP the
2616s	Great British pound it's four pound
2617s	fifty a month over the course of 12
2619s	months which is cheaper than some
2622s	grandfathered rates of players that have
2623s	been subbed for years now so definitely
2626s	the lowest that it's been and the
2628s	absolute best value it's kind of crazy
2630s	actually for a live service game I think
2631s	yeah I'm sure we'll remind you later
2633s	when we've seen some more exciting stuff
2635s	as well yeah because it's the best way
2637s	to lock in for all this content coming
2638s	up it absolutely is now we're going to
2640s	be taking a quick break but I would just
2643s	like to inform you all that there are
2645s	two things to keep in mind number one
2646s	we've got some absolutely incredible
2649s	content that our creators our community
2651s	members have been making that we want to
2653s	showcase during this time please go and
2655s	show them some love and support their
2656s	handles will be in the images and do not
2659s	go anywhere because as soon as this ends
2661s	as soon as the break's over we're going
2663s	straight into the next announcement and
2666s	I'm pretty sure that you're all going to
2668s	be watching that because
2670s	you've been asking for it for quite some
2672s	time now this trailer is probably one of
2674s	the most my favorite trailers we've made
2676s	yeah I love this next trailer and then
2678s	that's the next box you're going to see
2680s	that last box will blow you away I've
2682s	seen people like oh we've been baited
2684s	it's Halloween and Christmas on the
2685s	roadmap doesn't matter those next two
2687s	boxes are going to be awesome next train
2689s	is gonna be great yeah I'm glad I've got
2691s	time to get back and actually watch it
2692s	yeah it is literally all been leading up
2694s	to this moment you know we've been we've
2696s	given you a little little tease now
2697s	these two things you are not going to
2700s	want to miss them and there will not be
2701s	any warning once that countdown ends as
2703s	soon as the break's over as soon as I've
2705s	had a chance to de-swet and come back
2706s	we're going straight into it so stay
2709s	tuned and we'll see you in around about
2710s	10 minutes or so

3357s	thank you
3374s	it's the one you've been waiting for
3375s	leagues is back
3377s	for those unaware League's old school's
3379s	time limited event as a fresh beginning
3381s	it boosted XP drop praise a custom task
3384s	list and lots of powerful relics to
3386s	unlock since shattered relics closed
3388s	last year we've been carefully thinking
3390s	about what the future of leagues looks
3392s	like there's a lot to live about Transit
3393s	relics but it's also fair to say that it
3395s	didn't quite hit the mark in the same
3397s	way the Trailblazer did with that in
3399s	mind what better way for leagues to
3400s	return than in the form of Trailblazer
3402s	once more with leagues 4 Trailblazer
3404s	Reloaded The Return of Trailblazer is
3406s	something that's been hotly requested
3408s	pretty much since the day it ended but
3410s	if you're worried about things being too
3411s	familiar then fear not because this is
3414s	more than just a rerun while Trailblazer
3416s	will act as a basis for this new league
3417s	we've got a lot of changes lined up to
3419s	make things feel nice and fresh if
3421s	you're expecting to dig out some videos
3423s	from three years ago and follow the
3425s	exact same matters as before then think
3427s	again we've got new tasks new relics new
3430s	areas and of course all of the updates
3432s	that have come to the game since
3433s	Trailblazer ended take the desert for
3435s	example Only Fools picked that area last
3437s	time but now we have temporaros Tunes
3439s	were masker and desert treasure 2. those
3441s	additions alone completely change the
3443s	matter and that's just one area
3444s	elsewhere we have things like necks
3446s	Guardians of the rift combat
3448s	achievements and a kingdom divided all
3450s	changing up the way you play and of
3451s	course for these new additions come new
3453s	tasks but as mentioned it's not just the
3455s	updates we've released since
3456s	Trailblazers they'll be changing how you
3457s	play we're also adding brand new areas
3459s	in the form of current and Gamers new
3460s	areas means new choices and has to be
3463s	even more careful with what areas you
3464s	pick but the possibilities offered by
3466s	the chambers Eric be enough to escape
3468s	kandarin this time that's for you to
3470s	decide Trailblazer reloaded will be
3472s	coming with revamps to both relics and
3473s	tasks for relics you can expect some
3476s	relics to depart exciting new ones to
3478s	take their place we've also got
3479s	rebalances to existing relics and even a
3482s	Brand New Relic tier meanwhile along
3484s	with new tasks for karand kebas and the
3486s	various updates released in Trailblazer
3488s	will also be taking a good look at the
3490s	existing tasks lastly a new league means
3492s	new Rewards alongside the standard new
3495s	additions to the reward shop you've come
3496s	to expect we're also going to be
3498s	updating rank thresholds for leagues to
3499s	be a static point value as opposed to
3501s	being the top percentage of players ever
3503s	moving thresholds can be quite
3504s	frustrating because you never know for
3506s	sure where you actually sit they also
3508s	mean that rewards can't be given to you
3510s	until the league has completely ended
3511s	with these changes we'll be able to
3513s	signpost exactly how many points you
3515s	need for each rank making it much easier
3516s	for you to plan your leaks raging that
3518s	was just a quick first look at
3519s	Trailblazer reloaded and we can't wait
3521s	to share more with you in the run-up to
3523s	the launch later this year
3532s	so League's four but you weren't
3534s	expecting that how exciting let's go
3537s	welcome to the live stream how are you
3541s	doing today pretty good I'm just
3543s	chilling out uh this is really not a
3544s	good look though I can't really see much
3546s	at all so I'll put the actual nerdy
3548s	glasses back on summer Vibes were there
3551s	though but before we go into some
3552s	questions I use it's got a very quick
3553s	message for you all I do have a really
3555s	quick message due to popular demand uh
3557s	thank you so much to everyone in the
3559s	chat you managed to crash the website in
3561s	regards to the membership offer the team
3563s	are aware they're working on fixing it I
3565s	guess that's a good sign if nothing else
3566s	I just remember it is available for 48
3569s	hours so fingers crossed we'll be able
3571s	to manage the traffic very soon but an
3573s	absolutely incredible uh turnout and
3576s	thank you for being patient with us It
3578s	Happens Live production baby Suffering
3581s	From Success I know
3583s	hopefully anyway
3585s	um right some questions so Trail Blazer
3587s	reloaded the first thing you might be
3589s	thinking is Trailblazers League two why
3592s	have we decided to go back to revisiting
3594s	an old sort of League
3595s	well similar to what the video was
3597s	talking about like shattered relics
3599s	tried to do something different and
3600s	tried to innovate on the the League's
3602s	formula basically and at the end of the
3605s	day the area lock system works really
3606s	well it actually like innovates in terms
3608s	of like your gameplay there's some
3610s	really interesting decision making
3611s	choices there and it really forces you
3613s	to play the game in a different way
3614s	shattered relics whilst it did have some
3617s	sort of um path thing opportunities in
3619s	terms of what skills you unlocks and
3620s	things like that being locked to just
3622s	like one or two areas really force you
3624s	to train skills in really unique ways
3626s	and that's just honestly just really fun
3628s	so I think the idea is to go back
3630s	revisit it refine it make it better see
3632s	what we can really do with that formula
3635s	okay so I guess speaking about changes
3637s	and how we can make it better than the
3639s	league before what was the biggest
3640s	challenge that you think you faced so
3641s	far in regards to revisiting the
3643s	previous League to to make improvements
3645s	on it so I developmentally recently
3647s	started but I can already say the
3649s	biggest challenge that I've personally
3650s	gone through at the moment is the task
3651s	list the task list is absolutely massive
3654s	now I think we're almost like 1600 tasks
3656s	wow and for shattered relics you have
3658s	access to all of those so it was a bit
3660s	overwhelming so I'm very cautious about
3662s	maybe having too many tasks of too few
3664s	we also want to mix it up in terms of
3666s	like we really don't want you to
3668s	actually load up videos from back then
3669s	or do the exact same like 20 30 early
3671s	game tasks or something like that have
3673s	the same experience I really want every
3675s	player regardless of what areas you
3676s	picked even if you decided to pick the
3678s	same areas as last time to feel like
3679s	you've got more of a unique experience
3681s	and that's really difficult with the
3682s	game's biggest old school RuneScape it's
3684s	so hard to really nail that
3686s	and I imagine ideally those Tesla split
3688s	fairly evenly across the areas as well
3690s	as it's just an additional thing just
3692s	constantly having to be thought of but
3694s	I'm sure you're gonna smash it
3696s	um
3696s	another one of the big changes that was
3698s	mentioned is the move to static points
3701s	thresholds why have you chosen to do
3703s	that rather than sticking to the dynamic
3705s	ones which are based on your finishing
3706s	position in the high scores so for
3709s	anyone that really took the competitive
3711s	aspects especially in the previous
3713s	leagues you'll all be somewhat familiar
3715s	with the burnout that you received at
3717s	the end of The League like constantly
3719s	chasing an ever-moving value is really
3721s	exhausting you're logging in every day
3722s	thinking what are my easiest three or
3724s	four tasks just to keep my rank and that
3727s	honestly just got really not fun very
3729s	quickly so with static Point values we
3732s	can actually put this in game as well so
3733s	as soon as you log in day one you're
3735s	gonna see for example 40 000 points to
3738s	get dragon tier and you're gonna know
3739s	exactly okay I need to get to 40 000
3741s	points what areas do I pick to optimize
3743s	this what relics you can really plan it
3745s	all ahead of time and instead of maybe
3747s	just figuring out like oh maybe I need
3749s	20 000 points maybe thirty thousand
3750s	forty thousand this makes it so you can
3753s	still be competitive and Chaser ranks on
3754s	the high scores but you aren't
3756s	constantly chasing this value which
3757s	might be quite frustrating for a lot of
3758s	players I know personally I got really
3760s	frustrated trying to hunt for a I think
3763s	it was a lucky implink in pero pero for
3765s	my last 250 points to solidify the
3768s	dragon rank for Trailblazer and I just
3770s	never got it and it was it was just
3771s	frustrating right I had Dragon for weeks
3772s	and weeks and weeks and then lost
3773s	because of that yeah
3780s	that's unfortunate
3782s	um I guess what in in this version of
3784s	Trailblazer what makes it better than
3786s	the first one in your opinion based on
3787s	your experience so far the design
3789s	development beginning
3790s	so I know when I first joined the
3792s	company this is quite a while ago now
3793s	around three years I was always really
3795s	inspired by mod Husky and mod flippy
3798s	because they worked on Twitter League
3799s	together and they really refined it got
3801s	all their learnings and stuff into place
3803s	and really just refined it to the thing
3804s	that trailblers ended up becoming right
3806s	and it was so much better and players
3808s	really understood that they really felt
3809s	those improvements and honestly it's
3811s	gonna be more of the same we've had
3812s	we've roll-offs here run Trailblazer so
3814s	we can learn off that and we've also run
3816s	shattered relics now we have so many
3817s	more alert so much more learnings and
3819s	expertise to actually refine the league
3821s	and just be hopefully so much better
3823s	honestly the thing I'm looking forward
3825s	to is just how people are going to
3827s	choose different areas
3828s	corendon kevlos it's massive there's a
3831s	full raid there with Twisted mode so
3833s	much iconic gear there's an only red in
3835s	the desert like it's it's going to
3836s	change it and so it's going to feel
3838s	quite a different experience I think for
3839s	pretty much everybody on Trail Blazer
3841s	reloaded even the Wilderness this time
3843s	around as well with the reworked
3844s	Wilderness bosses granted the items that
3847s	they drop may not be the most of use in
3848s	pvm instances but for general just like
3851s	gameplay points tasks that they can go
3853s	out and get it's completely changed that
3855s	area too as well yeah I'm personally
3857s	looking forward to all the debates in
3859s	the community there's always like team
3861s	Relic this team area this and it's like
3865s	the tribal like Warfare that comes out
3868s	on social media over it actually I have
3870s	to ask this question and I'm sorry you
3871s	probably you haven't prepared for this
3872s	one so feel free to say no to answering
3874s	it but we'll we'll run be required or is
3877s	it going to be unlimited into
3878s	Trailblazer so yeah we're still going to
3880s	have the unlimited ride I don't think
3881s	we'll ever revert that decision on
3882s	myself a major mechanic requires it I
3884s	was about to be called a walker again
3886s	and I was not ready for that pain I also
3889s	say as well last recall is definitely
3891s	making a reoccurrence in this league so
3893s	that was one of the best things in in
3896s	the last League it was so fun completely
3898s	changed the game and we're also going to
3899s	be looking into supporting it even more
3900s	I know one of the gripes that we had for
3903s	a Trailblazer was a lot of instances
3905s	didn't save when she teleported out so
3908s	we made exceptions for God Wars dungeon
3909s	and that completely redefined how you
3911s	actually form the god Wars when Jimmy
3912s	let's go back and forth constantly we're
3914s	going to look at trying to really
3915s	support that so then from almost all
3917s	bossing that we can reasonably support
3918s	you're going to be able to use lost
3920s	Vehicles go back and forth pvm you might
3922s	finally feel good at PDM I can't wait so
3925s	we obviously we've mentioned some of the
3926s	areas a lot better than last time
3929s	whatever regions do you think people are
3930s	actually gonna pick
3932s	in the video we kind of mooned on it a
3934s	bit about um how Only Fools picked the
3936s	desert right
3938s	um the desert is looking really stacked
3940s	now it's actually kind of crazy when you
3942s	think about it with those giants Foundry
3944s	Guardians of the rift
3946s	um obviously desert treasure two toonzo
3949s	masker temporos so like early to mid
3952s	game and late game has all been kind of
3954s	rejuvenated in the entire area so like
3956s	it's coming from being one of the
3957s	weakest in Trailblazer to what it looks
3960s	right now to be one of the strongest
3961s	areas let's not forget about ancient
3963s	Magics in the first place right like no
3965s	matter what style you actually picked
3966s	whether it's like a mage range or a
3967s	melee you kind of want a range of magics
3970s	it's so useful
3972s	um so I don't know I feel like desert is
3974s	almost a must pick now
3976s	definitely going to be desert gang I
3978s	think when it comes to league for me
3979s	it's just even so that I can just go and
3980s	blast through Tombstone mascot we've
3982s	completely broken setups I think it's
3983s	going to be insanely fun
3985s	so last question for me anyway what is
3987s	it like to work on a league and do you
3989s	have a favorite moment of that so far
3991s	I've not worked on it for too long yet
3995s	um but I think in terms of like the
3996s	early design that we've been doing
3998s	coming up with relics is just really fun
4000s	they're coming up with new tasks is
4002s	really fun it's something that I've been
4004s	working here for like three years or so
4005s	now but obviously the poll system
4007s	requires a lot of back and forth in
4008s	terms of like what what do we think will
4010s	actually settle in the game like
4012s	properly and be what exactly all the
4013s	players want but with the relics we
4015s	don't have to care about game game
4016s	balance we don't have to carry if it
4018s	like breaks a bunch of metas or anything
4019s	like that so you can kind of let loose a
4021s	bit more be really creative in that
4023s	regards so um yeah that's actually just
4025s	really refreshing and really exciting to
4026s	just come up with completely busted
4028s	things that will hopefully be really fun
4029s	to use
4030s	all right that's that's very much the
4032s	philosophy right yeah if this Renegade
4034s	breaking the game it's not strong enough
4035s	yeah
4036s	it honestly is the best thing about
4039s	leagues for me especially is that you
4041s	know main game everyone would absolutely
4043s	lose their minds if so it was completely
4045s	game breaking obviously there are
4047s	occasions when something like I don't
4048s	know their soul Reaper acts once it's
4050s	people in PvP that isn't intended but in
4052s	leagues we can kind of make things like
4054s	that intended and everyone finds it
4055s	really cool so it's our one chance to
4057s	just do whatever the hell we want and
4059s	just see what happens it's honestly the
4061s	best time ever and I understandably
4062s	while the players are so excited for it
4064s	as well I saw so many pogs in the chat
4066s	there that's great
4067s	um anything else you want to add on
4068s	leagues before you leave for Surfers
4072s	um please join it and see how it goes
4074s	I'm honestly just really excited to see
4075s	like how my personally first League I'll
4078s	be working on goes um oh no I'll be
4080s	playing it and I'll be seeing you all in
4081s	game
4082s	right and I think you've got one of the
4084s	best shirts we've seen so far oh yeah I
4086s	know I usually you're looking very
4088s	succulent today wow say to myself thank
4090s	you
4091s	right that wraps up the League's four
4094s	for now um we've got another giveaway

4230s	it doesn't end here there is still one
4232s	more section for us to go afterwards but
4234s	without further Ado probably the biggest
4236s	announcement that we could be making to
4238s	date is coming to you right now and then
4240s	we'll be joined by the wonderful mod Ed
4242s	so stay tuned enjoy the video and we'll
4244s	see you in a moment
4248s	the world of gilinore stretches far and
4251s	wide from a darkness of Mauritania to
4254s	the Crystal City of preference and in
4257s	your Journey Through This World you've
4259s	almost visited every corner of it but
4261s	next year the sun will rise over a new
4264s	land so pack your bags and prepare to
4268s	travel Westward because this
4270s	is old school's next big area expansion
4274s	this
4275s	is volleyball
4278s	Generations ago zurich's ages Strife
4281s	threatened to bring about the ruin of
4283s	great Karen in a final bid to save
4285s	themselves a small group of refugees
4287s	brave for Journey for over treacherous
4289s	custodial pass on the other side they
4293s	found themselves in an untouched land of
4295s	unimaginable Beauty
4297s	it was here they made their new home
4299s	thanks to their isolation their home
4302s	quickly prospered and they chose to
4304s	remain isolated long after zurich's
4306s	defeat even today traveling tour from
4308s	Valor is highly restricted but that is
4312s	all about to change after years of
4314s	preparation Queen's ioni arkhan is
4317s	finally ready to open the borders to her
4319s	kingdom your journey to valimore is
4321s	about to begin now when we say big air
4323s	expansion we mean it valimore is filled
4326s	to the brim of exciting new things to do
4328s	we have new bosses new Skilling
4331s	activities and of course new quests
4333s	there's so much to this new area to the
4335s	point where it's going to be far more
4336s	than just a single game update you can
4338s	expect multiple batches of valimore
4340s	starting in the South with a capital
4343s	city of civitasilla Fortis and the avian
4346s	Savannah in the capital you'll find the
4348s	imposing Fortis Coliseum where you can
4351s	prove your worth in a brand new fight
4353s	cave style combat encounter once you're
4355s	done there why not head out into the
4358s	Savannah and join up with a renowned
4360s	Hunter Guild or maybe you'd prefer to
4363s	delve below and to a Dwarven town of Cam
4366s	to room here you'll find a new dungeon
4369s	that's probably best described as
4370s	forthos meets barrows the same dungeon
4373s	also being a focal point of our first
4375s	tale of the sun these are new Standalone
4378s	quests found all across falimar speaking
4381s	of quests this first batch will also
4383s	bring you two new quests in an all-new
4386s	storyline one that will see you
4388s	uncovering the mysteries of a dangerous
4390s	malamorian cult that's just a small idea
4393s	of what to expect in our first batch of
4395s	valimore and you can look forward to
4397s	plenty more but within that first batch
4399s	as well as in further batches throughout
4401s	the year so I'll leave you now with your
4403s	first exclusive look of a map for
4406s	valimore
4407s	[Music]
4419s	wow oh yeah that is all I want to say
4421s	right now is wow and welcome to the
4423s	stream mod Ed how are you doing I'm
4425s	doing pretty well thank you for having
4426s	me good well it's an absolute pleasure
4428s	to have you here thank you for what I
4429s	think was an absolutely incredible
4431s	announcement so volamor huh who saw that
4434s	one coming
4436s	yeah funny enough it was I mean you know
4438s	we've teased and mentioned Baltimore for
4440s	ages the players have been asking about
4443s	valimore ever since gentle tractor
4445s	released a map one time on Reddit so why
4448s	now
4449s	well why not really um but uh I think um
4455s	this is something that we have wanted to
4457s	do for a very long time I think
4459s	as you say ever since
4461s	um
4462s	what would it have been when when did
4464s	General tractor first make that like
4466s	first map with vulnerable that must have
4467s	been it wasn't that long after the
4468s	original like launch of um what was
4470s	there back then instead of Corinne yeah
4472s	so that would have been what mid mid
4474s	2016 I'm guessing around about like when
4477s	we first saw that maponite
4479s	it really um makes me feel old
4483s	I think it really it really showed us it
4485s	put us in our place a little bit let's
4487s	be honest let's be fair put us in a
4488s	place a little bit it really showed us
4489s	what
4490s	what an area expansion could be and ever
4493s	since then I think it's just it has been
4496s	the dream to finally visit Valar Morin
4499s	I think now is just really the right
4501s	we've grown the team to a point where we
4502s	can really do it justice I think that
4504s	was a really important thing here that
4507s	obviously we don't we don't want it to
4510s	go quite how the current launch did we
4513s	want to make sure we're delivering this
4515s	huge area with all these amazing things
4517s	to do in it that it really should
4519s	fingers crossed as well this should
4522s	really feel like exploring the game all
4525s	over again like we talk a lot about
4528s	what what is old school like Nostalgia
4530s	is obviously a huge part of it and it
4531s	feels very weird to be talking about
4533s	Nostalgia with a brand new area
4534s	expansion like something that's
4536s	completely not old school in the
4537s	slightest but is the thing that really
4541s	it's the only thing that truly has a
4543s	potential to actually recreate that
4545s	feeling of playing the game for the
4547s	first time because you're experiencing
4548s	something brand new and yet it is still
4551s	old school and that that's the beauty of
4553s	it it's like this Perfect Blend of older
4555s	new well I'm extremely excited and I
4558s	think we'll there's throughout the
4560s	questions we'll delve into a little bit
4562s	more about Baltimore means but if you
4564s	haven't already check out the pin post
4565s	that has been put in by model light to
4567s	check out all the info for valimore
4569s	because we talk about valimore as an
4571s	area expansion but there is a ton of
4572s	content that's coming out multiple
4574s	different pieces of content within one
4576s	update it's absolutely massive and uh
4579s	Kieran yeah you're just talking about
4582s	that right it sounds pretty Mick
4584s	um so Ed how big are we actually talking
4587s	here like what kind of scale is this
4589s	going to be
4590s	um should its players expected to all
4592s	come out once so
4594s	it's big like we we saw the map for just
4598s	a few moments ago I think maybe we'll
4599s	take a take another look at it yeah
4600s	there you go like it's pretty large it's
4604s	big but obviously bigger it's not always
4608s	better
4609s	um okay yep so you went there
4613s	it's fair to say that obviously with the
4616s	original Korean launch like we're gonna
4618s	make a fair few comparisons to creators
4619s	you may have guessed like with virtual
4620s	Korean launch it was very much like it
4622s	was a huge landmass and not a lot of
4624s	things to do with it
4626s	so while volmore is big but we know it's
4629s	so important that it feels like
4632s	everywhere you're going with so much to
4633s	do so much to explore that it that
4636s	there's content there that justifies the
4637s	size and as mentioned in the uh in the
4640s	video earlier that it is so big that
4642s	it's not actually all coming in one go
4644s	and like that's not that's not a
4645s	negative by any means like do not take
4647s	that as a negative it's only because of
4648s	just how much is there but we're going
4650s	to be launching it in multiple stages
4652s	across the year with the uh first stage
4655s	um Coming uh very very early in the year
4657s	of all go as well and uh you can see now
4660s	the updated map this is the this is the
4661s	area that you'll be visiting in that
4664s	first release uh early next year and
4666s	even you can see that even just the
4669s	first bit of it there is so much we've
4671s	got the huge capital city of civitas
4673s	lafort it's gonna be so exciting to
4675s	explore that City but then all the area
4677s	around it as well got the avium Savannah
4678s	over Hunter Guild we've got Rouses rise
4680s	the this is obviously just the surface
4682s	as well like with big big criticism of
4684s	crendon launch like it was just service
4686s	or there's no dungeons like you're
4688s	playing a fantasy game like old school
4689s	you expect Dungeons and obviously you
4691s	can see there's quite a few dungeon
4692s	icons on there most notably being the
4694s	cantarum uh dungeon this new Dwarven
4697s	Town that's the sort of also the
4699s	location of one of the key pieces of uh
4701s	content that's going to be in Baltimore
4702s	as well like there is so much to do and
4705s	that is just in the first release and
4706s	we've got
4708s	so much exciting things planned for the
4710s	uh for like the rest of the year as well
4712s	we'll be opening up uh like more of
4714s	valimore as the year goes on Amazing
4716s	well I'm sure that we can touch on that
4718s	as the year develops but let's try and
4720s	unpick some of the parts that are going
4721s	to be potentially coming with valimore
4723s	part one early next year should all go
4725s	well in the upcoming polls corend kevos
4729s	and valer Moore they've all been
4730s	opportunities for old school to tell its
4732s	own stories so why should players be
4734s	excited about upcoming quests
4736s	so
4738s	I think I think it really is just about
4740s	it's the opportunity to tell new stories
4743s	like you know don't get me wrong like
4745s	old school has so many like fantastic
4747s	Legacy storylines and you know we've
4750s	we've seen continuation in some of those
4751s	fairly recently with desert treasure two
4753s	we've got another one coming very soon
4755s	as announced earlier with a half of
4756s	glovery but the really exciting thing
4759s	about valimore is it gives us the
4760s	opportunity to tell a story that people
4761s	have like never seen before and again
4764s	I'm going to go back and make the
4765s	comparison again when we look back at
4767s	the original Korean launch one of the
4769s	things that was really missing there was
4771s	that there weren't any quests and when
4773s	you think back to
4776s	I think back to when old school was just
4777s	RuneScape like
4779s	when you're exploring new areas it was
4781s	all about the quest that you go you go
4782s	to our door when our Dawn was released
4784s	you know it came with quests there's all
4785s	these quests to do and like you've got
4787s	these um like you've got these like
4789s	notable ones that are part of the
4790s	storyline like uh the plague storyline
4792s	but also you just got the the weird like
4795s	little weird and wonderful quests like
4796s	uh you're like Monk's friend and that
4798s	sort of thing and
4800s	was it took a really long time to like
4802s	bring Corinne up to that same standard
4803s	arguably it's still not really there
4805s	like still moving in the right direction
4806s	but um let's see we've now got the cren
4808s	storyline we've been doing the Twisted
4810s	tales for Standalone Quest like
4812s	it's not going to take that long with
4813s	valimore day one we have as announced
4817s	earlier free quests on day one two of
4820s	those part of a brand new storyline and
4823s	then one of them a standalone quest uh
4825s	very very unoriginally riffing off
4827s	Twisted Tails we're calling these
4828s	Standalone Quest tales of the Sun and
4830s	there'll be a lot more of those
4831s	releasing uh in uh later uh releases for
4834s	valimore as well like it is so important
4837s	that we have these quests like tell
4839s	these stories because
4840s	that is what makes it feel old school
4842s	and on the topic of quests I'm going to
4845s	uh I predict that there's something
4847s	quite a few people will be interested in
4848s	going hang on a second valimore brand
4851s	new storyline what's going on here we've
4853s	already got tons of story lines one of
4855s	them has some connections to farm with
4857s	the current storyline and obviously you
4860s	know we're not saying anything about
4861s	that just yet but um
4864s	I think
4865s	you might be excited to see what happens
4867s	a little bit later every year let's just
4869s	say that okay all right another little
4870s	piece from the head okay I see I see how
4873s	you do it um is this the first time
4874s	we're releasing three quests in One
4876s	update we haven't really Steven two in
4878s	one update so we've released two before
4880s	I think
4882s	um when we did the kebos launch
4884s	um but yeah I think this is the first
4886s	time we're doing three in one go there
4888s	you go nice that's like that is exciting
4890s	right there's a whole ton of stuff in
4892s	Baltimore as you've been touching on
4895s	um what are you personally most excited
4897s	for
4897s	well obviously I am very biased like me
4900s	it's all about the quests like I am
4902s	really excited for the quest I'm really
4904s	excited for like the opportunity to tell
4906s	these new stories really excited for
4907s	what later a release of arm will bring
4909s	as well including that little tease I
4911s	just mentioned earlier of uh the
4913s	storyline I think everyone knows is very
4914s	uh near and dear to my heart but
4916s	obviously it's not all about quests like
4919s	there is so many other awesome things
4921s	going on in valmore we've got the the
4923s	hunter Guild of course that's something
4924s	we've wanted to do for a really long
4926s	time so I know people are nursing all
4927s	for a really long time like a really
4929s	meaningful addition to Hunter and like
4932s	when you look back at um
4934s	but when kevos launched with a farming
4936s	Guild the Farmingdale really showed what
4938s	what a guild can actually be and it's
4940s	really exciting to be able to do another
4941s	another guild especially for a skill
4943s	like Hunter that is definitely well in
4945s	need of it but um there's just so much
4948s	as I keep going obviously we're just
4951s	talking about Quest at school what about
4952s	all the pvm stuff we've got the Fortis
4954s	Coliseum that is super exciting like I
4957s	think before this Colosseum is one I
4958s	think a lot of people are going to get
4959s	really excited about like this this is
4961s	something that people have been asking
4963s	for for quite a while I mean on that
4965s	topic like players loved the idea of
4967s	Tessa Carl trials that was pitched
4968s	during a previous game Jam like what
4970s	kind of inspiration has been taken from
4972s	that for the Colosseum well I'm seeing
4974s	in chat rip blue Inferno but yes but
4978s	actually no is sort of my answer to that
4980s	because
4982s	it's not Tesla car trials
4984s	but it's tactical trials like we knew
4988s	that
4990s	we all love tactical trials like players
4992s	really want it we're really excited for
4994s	tactical trials
4995s	and when we were doing Viola more like
4997s	looking at like the story informatics of
4999s	armor we've got this this Kingdom of
5000s	people that they absolutely love combat
5002s	when we're looking at the bazaar who
5004s	absolutely love combat oh we've got this
5006s	idea for a mini game all about combat
5008s	and you can start to see how all sorts
5009s	started to combine together so we looked
5010s	at tascal trials like we took all the
5012s	like the best ideas from that and we've
5014s	brought them into the Colosseum so like
5016s	a lot of the things that people are
5017s	really excited for for tascal trials the
5019s	Colosseum is where you'll be finding
5021s	them and you know that's not to say
5022s	we'll never do blue Inferno I know quite
5024s	a few people also like liked me uh it's
5025s	like volcanic uh like if you feel it
5028s	feels very um
5031s	I guess I guess it is sort of nostalgic
5033s	it's not like it feels like fight caves
5035s	again but like so you know maybe maybe
5037s	at some point we'll go back and uh do
5039s	some sort of like different take on
5040s	tactical trials but at the same time I'm
5042s	really quite excited to see that style
5043s	of mini game just a completely different
5045s	environment like get it out on a volcano
5046s	and like into a Coliseum like that's
5048s	just it's just gonna feel really epic
5050s	and like it lends some like uh like
5053s	different thematics that we've not
5054s	really played with too much before yeah
5056s	I think from the the way that it's been
5058s	described again obviously if you haven't
5059s	seen already check out the blog it does
5061s	have all the details at least all the
5062s	details that we're willing to share with
5063s	you at this stage anyway uh it does
5066s	include just you know exactly how it
5068s	would work but it's essentially a
5069s	wave-based Mini-Game that allows you to
5071s	progress through and decide to leave at
5073s	whichever point you want to but the
5075s	longer that you continue to stay on
5076s	within this battle the more you'll be
5078s	rewarded and we're hoping to bring some
5079s	pretty exciting actual useful combat
5082s	related rewards from that similar to
5084s	what you'd expect from the likes of
5085s	other high-end pvm content but it's it's
5088s	meant to be content that's accessible
5090s	for everyone but has that level of
5092s	Higher Play available which kind of
5094s	nicely leads me on to the question was
5096s	as if it was planned in the
5099s	I think we have to address the fact that
5101s	I know so many players especially within
5103s	the high level Community have been
5104s	looking for more aspirational content
5106s	and obviously we've talked about
5109s	mid-level pvm boss we've brought out
5110s	accessibility with teams of Alaska
5112s	desert Treasure 2 was pretty hard but
5114s	then with the awakened on top of that to
5116s	kind of satisfy do you think the Fortis
5117s	Colosseum could potentially fill that
5119s	void at the higher level Community are
5121s	looking for at the moment with
5122s	aspirational pvm content like that's
5125s	what we're really hoping for like you
5126s	know to set expectations very clear like
5129s	this isn't another Inferno we're not
5131s	doing another Inferno like one thing
5132s	we're uh we're really wanting to do
5134s	before this Coliseum is create something
5135s	that's a bit has a bit more
5136s	replayability than uh fight Kevin
5139s	Inferno so it's not going to be like the
5141s	same as those but that said I think it
5144s	you know it's fair to say that there is
5145s	a an itch that maybe hasn't been
5148s	scratched for a little while for some of
5149s	our end game players and like we know
5151s	that it is well and truly time for some
5154s	new aspirational content and we're
5155s	hoping that the forest Coliseum can help
5157s	scratch that itch and again let's keep a
5160s	focus on what's happening in issue of
5162s	Alamo but you can also you know give a
5164s	little tease like it's an area we want
5167s	to keep exploring as we as we delve
5168s	further into Varma with future releases
5170s	that that is a group of players that uh
5172s	that we want to give them something
5174s	juicy with valimore
5176s	amazing yeah I think the the shape of
5178s	it's going to feel quite different
5179s	because it's intended to be replayed
5181s	rather than kind of beat it once get
5183s	your cape move on to something else so I
5185s	imagine it's going to change the
5186s	Dynamics of quite how it's designed but
5188s	I think certainly we've been talking
5189s	about like Inferno level absolutely
5192s	absolutely at that top end right towards
5194s	the final wave so yeah it's like yeah it
5196s	is it is another wave-based mini game
5198s	and um the the wave that we'd like to do
5201s	it is that uh you can sort of like um it
5204s	kind of similar to factor Inferno but
5206s	not really like well technically you can
5207s	drop out a fight game Inferno and you do
5209s	get a small rewards Nobody Does that
5210s	because yeah
5212s	we do want to make it sort of feel a bit
5214s	more way like you can drop out early and
5215s	get still get a somewhat reasonable
5217s	reward and but doing that also then
5219s	allows us to really push it at the
5221s	highest waves and like the final boss at
5223s	the end is sort of like the last wave
5224s	we're hoping is going to be something
5226s	that uh we'll offer a nice challenge for
5228s	people hopefully it can satisfy Another
5231s	Monkey because everyone keeps
5232s	referencing in the chat
5234s	so we believe
5236s	um does this really blow Inferno as a
5237s	concept is is dead is this replacing
5239s	that so so like kind of like as I
5241s	mentioned earlier like it kind of has
5244s	for now replaced it but
5246s	the the thing is that like when you look
5250s	back at sort of like the updates
5251s	released over the years it's so many
5254s	things it's like shifted and morphed
5255s	like I remember there was um when we
5257s	were doing theater of blood there was a
5259s	there was a boss in the first Blood
5260s	called the hesperi and everyone will be
5261s	going but the S4 is not in first world
5263s	but exactly like it was we ultimately
5265s	cut it from fear of blood and then the
5267s	idea was reshaped and reformed and came
5269s	later on with kevos instead so uh yeah
5272s	Never Say Never to Blue Inferno like the
5274s	tussa Carl are like very very cool
5276s	characters uh unless they're characters
5278s	but we do want to do more of in the
5279s	future no spoilers um and who knows
5282s	maybe maybe in the future there'll be
5283s	opportunity to do something different
5284s	with uh blue Inferno but uh at least in
5287s	the meantime uh hopefully before this
5288s	Coliseum we'll uh we'll scratch that
5290s	itch as uh as said those people who are
5292s	really looking forward to that amazing
5294s	thank you I think many people will be
5295s	happy to hear that and I know that
5297s	there's a huge amount of passion within
5298s	the team to explore something like a
5300s	blue Inferno so those uh words aren't
5302s	just falling on deaf ears believe me I'm
5304s	sure that there will be plans in the
5305s	future but for now Forest Coliseum at
5308s	least looks like the the next big thing
5309s	in regards to pvm talking about maybe
5313s	the the lower level or mid-level uh more
5316s	accessible pvm aspect or side of the
5318s	volume or expansion what type of player
5321s	do you think will be excited by the
5324s	perilous moons and why should we care
5327s	about it
5328s	so I think it's actually something that
5330s	potentially a lot of people can get
5331s	excited about because it's uh it's um
5334s	Superior moons that is the uh the the
5337s	what I mentioned earlier the quest that
5339s	we're calling the the tales of the Sun
5341s	the Standalone Quest it's one of those
5342s	and it's for it's the first one we're
5344s	doing and um it's also bringing with it
5346s	a brand new dungeon that we keep
5348s	referring to was uh so like barrows
5350s	meats or forefas and because of that
5352s	it's something to a certain extent it
5354s	kind of represents what we're trying to
5356s	do with Varma as a whole of like a brand
5359s	new area of exciting new stories and
5361s	exciting new areas to explore it sort of
5362s	wraps all that up in a nice little uh
5364s	nice neat package basically like people
5366s	love Focus dungeon because it was it was
5368s	it really like
5370s	you know dialed up to 11 so that feeling
5372s	of exploration and Discovery and this
5375s	should hopefully very much do the same
5376s	but hopefully maybe even a little bit
5377s	more so by having by having a full-on
5379s	quest to go along with it but then also
5381s	uh four Foss meets Barris I've got the
5383s	Barris side as well where we're going to
5385s	have some Demi bosses in there and um
5388s	those Demi bosses should hopefully offer
5389s	something a little bit different to what
5391s	we've got elsewhere environments or if
5392s	we've got the policy which I just
5393s	mentioned very aspirational and those
5395s	Demi lovastages hopefully then offer
5396s	like with a change of pace and maybe an
5398s	opportunity for people who were sort of
5400s	like getting into pvm a little bit more
5402s	so like learn a few new skills that sort
5404s	of thing whilst exploring this cool new
5405s	dungeon
5406s	amazing thank you so much honestly I'm
5409s	so excited and I can't wait to just
5410s	finish this stream and just see what
5412s	everyone's had to say about it in the
5413s	mega thread that we've got posted and
5415s	seeing all the feedback and hopefully it
5417s	will be extremely positive because I
5419s	think this is literally one of the
5421s	biggest if not the biggest things to
5422s	come to the game aside from one other
5424s	thing that we need to talk about that's
5425s	just after this but we'll save that for
5428s	just now the thing is with it right you
5430s	know everyone's kind of known at some
5432s	stage I'm probably going to do
5433s	vulnerable but I can't believe how many
5435s	people on Reddit we're saying it's not
5436s	going to be Baltimore there's no way to
5438s	get them all right now ready come on but
5442s	I think do you think people would have
5444s	literally like guessed what we were
5445s	going to be offering with Alamo though
5446s	because I haven't really seen much
5448s	commentary around what valimore would
5450s	entail and especially the things that we
5452s	have offered I think hit every aspect of
5454s	the game as good as they can so super
5457s	excited super excited for that I think
5460s	it's probably time that we announced the
5462s	winner of the next giveaway here and if
5464s	you want to do the honors it is this
5465s	little guy right here Bob the winner is
5468s	a nice easy name this time the winner is
5470s	Rapture so congratulations you'll have
5473s	your own little Bob very soon

5538s	hey everyone hey everyone hey everyone
5541s	today we're going to learn all there is
5543s	to know about sailing our proposal for
5546s	old School's First new skill
5553s	sailing is an open world utility skill
5555s	where you'll experience exciting new
5558s	content that can only be found at Sea
5560s	it's non-instanced traditional MMO
5563s	exploration at its finest with an
5565s	old-school RuneScape twist sailing
5567s	expands the vast world of gilinore with
5570s	brand new islands creatures treasures
5572s	and Mysteries to uncover acquire a
5575s	seaworthy vessel and build upgrades and
5578s	Facilities that will let you access ever
5581s	more dangerous areas of the ocean you
5584s	might have encountered ships in all
5585s	school RuneScape before but this is the
5587s	first time you'll be able to Captain a
5589s	ship of your very own and sail into
5591s	Waters Uncharted by even the most daring
5593s	NPCs there's a variety of training
5596s	methods available whether you're into
5598s	quests pvm Skilling or even PVP sailing
5603s	is sure to have something for you and
5605s	the choice is yours set sail alone or
5607s	travel with friends with a vast
5609s	selection of exciting Dynamic and
5611s	immersive player experiences is out at
5614s	Sea no two trips will be the same now's
5617s	your chance to expand your horizons and
5619s	experience the world of gilinore in a
5621s	whole new way so let's dive into Old
5623s	School runescape's potential newest
5625s	skill
5630s	I'm mod light I'm mod husky I'm modalena
5633s	and we're the developers working on the
5636s	new skill earlier this year we asked the
5638s	community whether they wanted a new
5640s	skill and the answer was a resounding
5642s	yes we initially pitched three different
5645s	concepts and after a thrilling race to
5648s	the Finish sailing came out on top we've
5651s	since entered the refinement phase where
5653s	we ironed out four key topics that form
5655s	the basis of this skill today we'll
5657s	cover everything we talked about so far
5659s	so that you can catch up before you cast
5662s	your vote
5665s	foreign
5667s	we want sailing to feel quintessentially
5670s	old school which is why it's critical
5672s	for players to be in total control of
5674s	their character while sailing this
5677s	exciting Tech demo showcases how players
5679s	can click to move their ship on the Open
5681s	Seas or move their character around on
5683s	the ship by clicking on the deck but
5685s	that's not all you can also board other
5687s	ships and even see land lovers hanging
5690s	out on Shore anyone care to share their
5691s	fishing levels we wanted to highlight
5693s	that sailing can go beyond the mechanics
5696s	from quests like bon voyage and show
5698s	that this is definitely not the sailing
5701s	skill that we pitched back in 2015 no
5704s	clunky interfaces required we also
5706s	learned that ships are split into three
5708s	different size categories small vessels
5710s	for shallow Bays large vessels for the
5712s	Open Sea and colossal vessels for the
5715s	deep ocean you'll unlock bigger ships as
5717s	you train the skill and you're not
5719s	limited to just one of each vessel type
5721s	so you can customize your ships for
5723s	whatever kind of content you plan to
5725s	tackle
5729s	the core of any skill is a simple
5732s	repeatable action that generates XP like
5736s	lighting fires in fire making or
5739s	planting vegetables while farming for
5741s	sailing interacting with any of the
5744s	facilities on your ship will provide
5746s	sailing XP facilities include sales to
5750s	make your ship go faster cannons to take
5753s	down enemies at Sea salvaging hooks to
5756s	recover resources from shipwrecks and
5759s	much more but a skill is more than just
5762s	a repetitive gameplay Loop here's what
5765s	else you can get up to on the Open Sea
5767s	chop the sea documenting all the
5770s	Mysteries found within undertake Courier
5773s	protection or investigative Port tasks
5776s	to earn gold at Sea test your metal in
5779s	high-speed trials with the barracudas a
5782s	group of thrill-seeking sailors who run
5784s	trials for all skill levels and that is
5788s	just the start you can also partake in
5791s	activities that utilize your other
5793s	skills use Hunter to track down elusive
5796s	sea monsters use farming to cultivate
5799s	rare and beautiful corals use fishing to
5803s	catch exotic fish with the new troller
5805s	in that facility use Mining and a
5808s	special mineral dredge to recover
5810s	Precious Minerals from the seabed in the
5813s	future you can also look forward to
5816s	Ocean Rays player-owned aquariums
5819s	treasure hunts and much much more
5827s	we love rewards here at jagex your Woods
5832s	are good and luckily for you the sailing
5835s	reward space is truly Limitless there is
5839s	no end to the new resources treasures
5842s	and legendary items that could be found
5845s	at Sea sailing will introduce a number
5848s	of new resources like Vlogs gems fish
5853s	ore and fibers including Rosewood Cobalt
5857s	garnets blue tangs and hemp don't worry
5861s	we'll upgrade Bank storage space for
5863s	everyone so you'll have plenty of room
5865s	for your new goodies some of these
5867s	resources will be used within sailing to
5870s	upgrade your ship but some have wider
5873s	applications what effects might new food
5876s	provide what kind of enchantments might
5879s	jewelry made from the new gems have and
5882s	what can you Smith from the new oars all
5885s	of this will be discussed and polled
5887s	with the community if sailing passes the
5890s	lock-in Pole sailing's reward space Also
5893s	features a massive web of facility
5896s	upgrades where you can gain access to
5899s	even more sailing content upgrade your
5902s	whole to Traverse dangerous reefs build
5905s	an enchanted Lantern to pass through
5908s	thick fog or repel dangerous enemies
5912s	upgrade your sails to sail through
5914s	dangerous storms there are endless ways
5918s	for you to deal with the various threats
5920s	that you'll encounter at Sea when you
5922s	make it through the other side there is
5924s	sure to be plenty of rewards waiting for
5927s	you
5932s	we've already touched on the ways that
5934s	sailing integrates with existing skills
5937s	but let's dive a little deeper
5939s	construction will be used to build
5941s	facilities on board ship meaning that
5944s	you'll get to show off your building
5946s	skills outside the player own house
5948s	crafting and smithing will let you
5951s	process various resources into
5953s	components with which to build these
5955s	facilities imagine weaving Nets or
5958s	smithing Cannon barrels a high magic
5960s	level will also serve you well on high
5962s	seas powerful Sorcerers will be able to
5965s	teleport to their ship or teleport the
5967s	ship itself we also plan to let players
5971s	keep their ship in the bottle for
5972s	convenient transport these existing
5975s	skills aren't requirements to train
5977s	sailing but they will enhance the
5980s	sailing experience another way sailing
5982s	integrates with the rest of the game is
5984s	by allowing players to recruit NPCs to
5987s	their crew how do you fancy persuading
5990s	duradel to take up combat again or going
5992s	on a voyage with Elena the most evil of
5995s	players might even convince evil Dave to
5998s	leave his mother's basement of course
6000s	there are plenty of new NPCs to meet too
6003s	for example meet flupa of the turtle
6006s	tribe she's interned her flipper and
6008s	needs your help to return home to the
6010s	great conch a mysterious island that
6013s	only appears to those who know the way
6015s	there you'll meet fluke's friends and
6017s	family learn a new Training Method and
6020s	get the opportunity to fight the turtle
6021s	tribe's greatest enemy The Griffins
6024s	[Laughter]
6029s	conch is just one of many exciting new
6032s	places that you'll get to visit while
6034s	sailing the world is your oyster
6040s	we've involved the old school RuneScape
6042s	community at every step of the process
6045s	which means we've had the honor of
6047s	working with some insanely talented
6049s	content creators gentle tractor has
6051s	created some fantastic infographics the
6054s	team has done such a good job at
6056s	refining the skill pitch that it's
6058s	really got me looking forward to
6059s	potential sailing scrape monge has
6061s	created 10 minute explain no videos on
6063s	YouTube I've enjoyed watching this
6065s	passion project spring to life and
6067s	offering every player something to enjoy

6071s	and we're absolutely
6074s	leaked by volkaban and huti working with

6202s	mod husky to the couch and to the stream
6204s	thank you so much how are you both doing
6206s	I I'm doing great I'm so hyped for
6209s	everything that's been on today like
6211s	seeing everything from from like the
6213s	bathroom
6214s	it's been insane um to end on this uh
6218s	getting to put the poll live right now
6220s	is super exciting
6222s	I feel like it's like Christmas Vibes
6224s	for me right I've been thinking like you
6226s	know two months it's like okay that's
6227s	when we're supposed to have the yes vote
6229s	for the poll right and then okay now one
6231s	month and then it's been okay A few
6232s	weeks two weeks one week woke up today
6234s	and I'm like oh God like today is the
6236s	day like you know we've obviously put so
6239s	much work into this project for so long
6240s	poured a ton of passion in worked with
6242s	the community and it is just like now's
6244s	the moment of truth right now we now we
6246s	get to see what the community truly
6247s	think um you obviously read tons of
6249s	comments you read all sorts and it's
6251s	it's sometimes so hard to to get that
6253s	gauge and just now we'll know yeah now
6256s	we'll know that the proof is going to be
6258s	in the pudding as they say that's the
6260s	thing right yeah I'm sure I'll always
6261s	check it out there
6264s	it's just you know a little bit nervous
6266s	slightly nervous I'm not gonna lie
6269s	all right so refinement it's been an
6271s	amazing journey it's been a long journey
6274s	as well and I know you've all worked
6275s	really hard how are you both feeling now
6277s	that we've got to this stage
6279s	you want me to kick off I'll start
6282s	um I'm I'm relieved honestly because
6284s	like huskyo was saying it's been a long
6286s	journey
6288s	um it's been a good journey we've really
6290s	enjoyed the work and and like that the
6294s	strange nature of this project like
6295s	we've never really involved the
6297s	community to this extent before
6300s	um so it's been really exciting to do
6302s	that but I'm also really relieved that
6305s	you know
6306s	we're finally getting to maybe do some
6309s	coding bits again like I'm really
6310s	looking forward to that if you've been
6312s	in design design hell for a while yeah
6314s	yeah exactly I think it's like it's
6317s	definitely I think most projects you go
6319s	through that like short design phase
6320s	you've got a kind of finished you know
6322s	design that you're kind of put out there
6324s	open to feedback for the players you put
6326s	out in a Big Blog you get a ton of
6327s	feedback you guys can see them do a
6328s	great job collecting it all and then we
6330s	decide you know what changes do we want
6331s	to make but this has been like okay
6333s	let's do a little bit of the design and
6334s	then put it to the players and then do a
6336s	little bit more of the design and then
6337s	put it to the players and it's just such
6339s	a different uh feeling you know compared
6341s	to what we've normally been working on
6342s	so exciting
6344s	um excited for the future of what that
6346s	could mean for for the team as well you
6347s	know maybe people look at different ways
6349s	of Designing content or especially if
6350s	they want to get more community
6351s	community integration into it and stuff
6353s	so for sure I I think one thing that
6356s	we've especially learned over in the
6357s	community team is that sailing going
6359s	forward definitely is going to be acting
6361s	as our Flagship example of how to
6363s	involve the community in larger projects
6365s	um
6365s	not in every single project because
6367s	they're not the same scale but something
6369s	that has that level of impact I feel
6370s	like it's gone down really well we've
6372s	not really seen any negative feedback
6374s	from at least how we've approached it
6375s	obviously people have their ideas and
6377s	differences in terms of decisions or
6380s	choices but none of that's really locked
6382s	into the absolute you know T right now
6385s	because that's what's going to happen
6386s	after the poll passes if it does we get
6390s	to work with you even further Beyond now
6392s	no it doesn't
6394s	uh but yeah it's hard to I mean we've
6397s	got Elena we got you husky here as well
6399s	but there's so many other people in the
6400s	team at the jackix as well who've been
6402s	hugely involved especially modern light
6404s	obviously who's on the video as well and
6406s	big hand in putting the blogs together
6408s	all the way through the refinement
6409s	process and a lot of organization with
6411s	the members of the community as well who
6414s	we've been lucky to be able to get to
6415s	work with as well
6416s	it's an insane how talented how creative
6419s	the community is you you both gave
6421s	thanks in the video as well
6423s	um editorial like I don't want to start
6425s	lifting because it'll be we'll be here
6426s	forever but it really is a colossal
6428s	effort the amount of people involved the
6430s	um Talent of everybody on show through
6432s	the process so big shout out to concept
6435s	though I think they quite often get
6436s	forgotten about and you know we talk
6437s	about the amazing art team but all of
6439s	our blogs and the infographics that were
6441s	put together by General tractor are
6442s	littered with like these just sort of
6444s	outline sketches bringing these ideas to
6447s	life because I think that's really
6448s	helped a lot in the process to just
6449s	visualize what we're talking about it's
6451s	one thing to read a massive Essay with
6453s	words and to see pictures sort of
6455s	describing what we're talking about yeah
6456s	and I think that they've also been a
6458s	great Creative Source for us to bounce
6460s	ideas off of throughout the process so
6461s	we are blessed with the talent of our
6464s	team like we truly are
6466s	um well as we're saying we've been
6467s	working with the community so closely
6469s	through this whole refinement process
6470s	through the entire journey to where we
6472s	are now we're finally here the pausing
6474s	game right now don't forget to vote how
6477s	do you actually feel like what's it like
6480s	to actually have had the players so
6483s	involved for the process
6485s	I think it's been it's been really
6487s	enjoyable but it's also been so critical
6489s	I believe to this process to just sort
6492s	of paint the picture for everyone on
6493s	stream who might not follow it across we
6495s	obviously had the vote to see okay 80
6497s	plus players want this new skill that's
6499s	the first step but we obviously look
6501s	back at all of our old skill proposals
6503s	and sort of said okay well we had like
6505s	the surf sparse design documents in the
6507s	past for like original sailing and
6509s	artisan and and then you look at warding
6511s	and you're like okay well this was a
6512s	massive design document that was really
6515s	hard to get across and then we think
6516s	well maybe I was just you know sitting
6520s	in the office for for days and weeks and
6522s	months coming up with these designs
6523s	isn't actually the best way to get a new
6526s	skill that the community are going to
6528s	fall in love with that the community are
6530s	going to want to see in the game getting
6531s	a new skill into the game is such a
6533s	controversial topic that it truly does
6535s	make sense to have the community
6537s	involved and to help us create that
6539s	vision and that process started off way
6541s	back from that initial you know video at
6543s	the last Summit where we go cool here
6545s	are three ideas for skills the sort of
6548s	ones that we've selected internally but
6550s	we didn't know what sailing would turn
6552s	out into now you know we were just like
6555s	sort of saying hey do you want a pizza
6557s	steak or chicken right to the level of
6560s	like ideas that we could go down and
6562s	then we find out what players wanted and
6563s	and that whole Community consultation
6565s	process we were like cool we know that
6567s	the players want sailing now let's just
6570s	break it down what are the actual
6572s	important things that we need to refine
6573s	with the community and it started off
6575s	with navigation and core gameplay
6577s	finally rewards and then lore
6579s	integration these were the sort of
6580s	pillars that we identified as core to
6582s	flesh out but just doing it all in one
6584s	blog wouldn't have worked either you
6585s	know how are we going to get feedback on
6587s	individual specific bits so you know we
6589s	sat down with Community you guys and
6590s	strategy and said let's just go through
6592s	these sort of two-week bursts and you
6594s	know we do these Sprints internally for
6595s	our own deaf work and what if we did
6597s	like a Sprint review with the community
6599s	you know what if we actually got them to
6600s	review our designs piecemeal as we're
6602s	doing it all that formed the Discord
6604s	stages where we we were literally doing
6605s	like these uh presentation slideshows
6608s	wasn't there yeah and getting this live
6610s	reaction and actively like quickly
6613s	making design changes based on what
6614s	players liked what they didn't like and
6616s	then we repeated that four times for
6617s	each of the topics and I truly think
6619s	that that helped the quality of the
6622s	design so much along like from start to
6625s	finish I mean I think the biggest
6627s	question for me with sailing was always
6630s	um how are you gonna get XP and I didn't
6631s	know that at the start when we pitched
6633s	it last Summit but Community very
6635s	strongly said we want to be Sailors and
6638s	we don't just want to be fishermen at
6640s	Sea yeah so that whole idea of making
6642s	sure that you're getting XP from sailing
6644s	and then not just in a loop if I'd go
6646s	out from a port and come back and get a
6648s	chunk of XP but just and that sort of
6650s	formed the basis of core gameplay for
6652s	sailing really is interacting with
6653s	facilities on a ship it's the embodiment
6655s	of being a sailor it was the inspiration
6657s	for that Tech demo where we see that you
6659s	know you're not just turning into a ship
6661s	and moving around on the water you're
6662s	actually still your player on the ship
6664s	clicking on things things getting XP
6666s	this wouldn't have been possible without
6667s	the community you know inspiring pushing
6670s	ideas and really letting us know what
6672s	they want out of this skill
6674s	um it is so different from that initial
6676s	idea of just hey let's go to the Seas
6679s	and make us and make a skill out of it
6680s	right definitely is very different and a
6683s	drastic difference from what people may
6685s	remember of sailing being back in the
6687s	way back when it was that first
6689s	discussed a lot has changed a lot of
6691s	hard work has gone into it and you the
6693s	community are to thank for that really
6695s	quick fire question here for both of you
6697s	if sailing passes what are you most
6699s	looking forward to
6701s	oh
6702s	um for me I think it's all the uh
6705s	stories that we've kind of begun now in
6708s	the refinement process and like getting
6709s	to explore them yeah exactly like give
6712s	me three different people the Griffins
6714s	um the different factions that we've
6715s	talked about like we've got the Traders
6717s	and um yeah so so many different
6722s	exciting new stories to go explore
6724s	a new husky I think it is just really
6727s	trying to satisfy that vision of being a
6730s	sailor you know people talk about
6731s	sailing and doing all these other skills
6733s	at sea but forgetting that there's a
6735s	skill at the center of that which is
6737s	sailing you know I really want to help
6739s	get to the point where navigation feels
6741s	really fluid really intuitive it's not
6743s	clunky
6744s	um that the that actual activity is fun
6747s	and engaging and then having all these
6749s	extra bits on the side just sort of like
6751s	is that cherry on top of the cake you
6753s	know so so I'm really looking forward to
6755s	just fulfilling that sailor fantasy all
6758s	right you really want to get into the
6759s	old on the Seas and making it feel good
6761s	vibe sailing pirating you know
6764s	merchanting you think about like I have
6766s	a ship so I'm gonna find some way to
6768s	utilize that ship in some way and that
6770s	is you know I think having players have
6773s	all these options as well it really is
6774s	that's what an MMO is right we're not
6776s	just dictating the path that you take
6778s	absolutely and with the scale of sailing
6780s	the amount of content that can be opened
6782s	up from it it literally it is pretty
6785s	much Limitless we've never done this
6787s	before we've never allowed you to travel
6789s	across the seas in the way that we will
6790s	the new places you're going to be able
6792s	to explore the new continents the new
6794s	experiences we mentioned potential new
6796s	raids new islands just it's it's like
6799s	opening up the entire game but still
6802s	very much in an old school way it's
6803s	amazing how bright I think the future of
6805s	old school would really look exactly
6807s	that scope of potential future area to
6810s	use and you think is a completely new
6812s	way to think about game players when the
6814s	players on the ship so it really is
6815s	exciting
6817s	um just something to be quite
6818s	lighthearted you ordered that call in
6821s	that video it is the best one oh it
6825s	wouldn't I I don't know we did like 20
6827s	takes of the cons as well what if we get
6830s	20 takes of the meows yeah
6834s	that was on you I mean to be fair chat
6836s	who did it better than me hours or the
6837s	chorus what do you reckon had to be the
6840s	meows okay I mean you can still meow I
6842s	mean I didn't meow anyway I wouldn't
6846s	it was definitely a strange ending to
6848s	the recording session you know you're
6849s	finished you're like yeah I nailed all
6850s	that I think that went well then they go
6852s	right just before you go can you just
6854s	like call like eight different ways I'm
6856s	like why sure I guess I love that anyway
6860s	a bit more serious though
6863s	um if sailing does fail the poll what's
6866s	next for the team and what would the
6868s	future of new skills look like
6870s	so I think it depends on a lot of things
6873s	obviously the actual percentage outcome
6875s	and a lot of the what the community are
6877s	saying and telling us feedback
6879s	throughout this polling process is going
6880s	to inform a lot of the decision if it's
6883s	very close with some very obvious
6885s	feedback that we could make uh sort of
6887s	changes and uh then we could look to
6890s	repolling if it's clearly failed
6893s	obviously we should respect the poll
6894s	none of us want to put content into the
6896s	game that you know our players don't
6898s	want
6899s	um as for the future of new skill I
6901s	think it's something that we would like
6902s	to put on a pause just for a little bit
6905s	um this whole process while it's been
6907s	great for getting Community feedback has
6909s	been intensive both on us and the
6911s	community there's a there could be a bit
6912s	of new skill burnout if we suddenly you
6914s	know jump into that conversation a few
6917s	weeks from now so I think we would leave
6918s	it a little bit
6919s	um and then just look to re-tackle that
6921s	question sort of ask the players again
6923s	cool do you want us to sort of come up
6926s	with some new ideas do we go back one
6928s	stage two stages in the process that
6930s	kind of thing we really you just want to
6931s	listen to the community and see what
6932s	they think our next steps would be
6934s	because nothing should change right like
6936s	everything I've said about new skills
6938s	should be what the community wants and
6939s	they should help us get to that sort of
6942s	outcome should remain true
6944s	absolutely and you know and uh I think
6946s	then on the flip side if sailing does
6949s	pass the polls when can players expect
6952s	to get Hands-On with the skill do we
6954s	have an idea of when the first beta
6956s	might be for example
6957s	so
6959s	if sailing does pass our next step is to
6962s	just go away and have a big think about
6965s	how do we
6966s	you know make a skill from scratch
6968s	because we've never done that yeah in
6970s	the old school team obviously this is
6971s	the first new skill potentially
6974s	um so we'll go away we'll have a think
6975s	about you know our internal like sailing
6978s	road map what makes sense to make in in
6981s	which order essentially
6983s	the first thing we'll look to tackle is
6986s	probably like navigation and that kind
6988s	of like chords making your ship
6991s	sail around
6993s	but and making that like really nailing
6996s	that aspect of it because that needs to
6998s	feel good
7000s	um and so that's the first bit that we
7002s	would look to to give to players
7004s	essentially um in a beta so if
7006s	everything goes according to plan
7008s	hopefully we can get a beta out this
7010s	year fingers crossed wow okay there we
7012s	go and I can say that further along from
7015s	a beta we are aiming for a 2024 release
7018s	of sorts now obviously that's very
7020s	dependent on a road map and how things
7022s	go over the next week especially with
7024s	the poll so just one final reminder if
7027s	you haven't already that's not going to
7028s	be the final reminder I lied go and vote
7030s	make sure that you do vote in the Giga
7032s	poll it is live you can go on everything
7034s	from valimore to Chambers to path of
7036s	glovery to uh the sailing skill and then
7040s	if you're wondering what's happening
7041s	with leagues that's going to be coming
7042s	in a few weeks we're just finalizing the
7044s	rewards that you can have on offer and
7045s	you'll be able to vote on all of those
7046s	rewards they'll be in a separate poll
7049s	um
7050s	oh there's so much more that we could be
7052s	talking about sailing but I think in all
7055s	honesty we do have a pretty big video
7057s	for people to be watching afterwards so
7059s	maybe it's best that we let those who
7061s	want to hear more listen to that video
7063s	and maybe we'll wrap up with just one
7066s	more question here which is
7069s	how do we expect sailing to be balanced
7071s	against other skills do we have an idea
7073s	how long it might take to reach max
7074s	level for example versus in versus
7076s	existing skills and will it be viable
7080s	so those are like three questions you
7082s	kind of lied there but you know
7085s	it is what it is one more question
7088s	yeah
7090s	um where would sailing sit in comparison
7092s	to other skills so we're not looking to
7096s	make sailing be like an outlier in terms
7098s	of time to Max when probably look at
7100s	existing skills try to match them
7103s	somewhat probably wouldn't be you know
7105s	the slower skill to train by any means
7107s	but also probably wouldn't be like the
7109s	very fastest
7111s	um
7112s	I think the exciting bit here is that we
7115s	can actually look to
7117s	spice up
7119s	um sort of the journey to 99 if that
7122s	makes sense I compare it to existing
7123s	skills where you might have some really
7126s	cool methods that you train for a while
7128s	but then it kind of becomes a slog at
7130s	certain level ranges and we'd look to
7132s	you know really dig deep into that and
7134s	make sure that you consistently have
7136s	something new to do or some new upgrade
7139s	or something new to look forward to so
7141s	that whole journey feels exciting and
7144s	enjoyable to train it's not just a race
7146s	to end game
7148s	okay fantastic really good I appreciate
7151s	that thank you so much and the Bible
7152s	says yeah yeah sorry
7154s	um it's not Bible
7156s	in short have it straightforward yeah I
7159s	mean I can go a bit deeper if you'd like
7161s	so essentially viable skills usually you
7164s	just buy a product and then you refine
7166s	that product and get XP from that I
7168s	think if sailing was about building your
7170s	ship it would be viable because then you
7172s	could just buy the materials build your
7173s	ship and that's done
7176s	um with our you know sailing uh we want
7180s	to give construction XP for building
7182s	your ship and sailing ASP is granted by
7185s	interacting with the facilities on your
7187s	ship so you have to be out at Sea
7189s	sailing yourself or with friends
7192s	um and and that's how you get the XP so
7194s	obviously I think having money might
7196s	help with those you know upgrades to the
7198s	ship But ultimately it's not buyable all
7201s	right the power of hindsight from all
7203s	the other skills we know what people do
7204s	it like I'll go out there and see what I
7206s	live I think sailing will be the best
7207s	skill in game I would also agree you
7210s	know I was definitely I'm definitely
7212s	team sailing seeing all of the
7214s	incredible work that you've put into it
7215s	sure I'm I'm positive there's a level of
7217s	bias there but even I take away that
7219s	bias I know deep down from seeing all
7221s	the content that the team have put out
7222s	recently I have never been so obsessed
7224s	with old school in my life as I have
7226s	been in the last three to four months
7227s	and that is like just just look at
7229s	what's been released look at the level
7230s	of quality how much we've been so
7233s	passionately involved with all of you
7234s	players and how much the players are
7236s	living the game too there is no chance
7238s	that we're going to miss this
7239s	opportunity to put out something
7240s	absolutely incredible and remember it's
7244s	down to you all at home so go and vote
7246s	have your say
7248s	we have got a q a if you want to have a
7250s	look or listen to some more in-depth
7252s	questions regarding sailing and you can
7254s	do exclamation marks sailing Q and A
7257s	that's Q the Ampersand I think that's
7259s	what it's called and then the letter a
7261s	uh for everything regarding sailing
7263s	order check out the old school YouTube
7264s	channel we don't want to go through all
7266s	of them there's so much that we could
7267s	talk about but obviously the most
7269s	important thing is that you go and vote
7270s	do you want to have a quick look at the
7272s	the full roadmap reveal now no more
7274s	question marks no more question marks
7278s	wow so from dead man all the way through
7282s	to an area expansion where the league
7284s	died in between and a whole bunch of
7286s	changes that you can all look forward to
7287s	what an incredible lineup and then
7289s	potentially even a beta for sailing
7292s	later this year
7301s	[Laughter]
7304s	there is so much stuff to come there
7306s	really is and obviously as we've
7308s	mentioned we're targeting at least
7310s	targeting see there's a lot of work to
7312s	come but targeting 2024 for sailing if
7315s	it does if it does
7317s	um get a yes vote from the community so
7320s	do vote now if you want if that's
7321s	something you want to see please do all
7324s	right before we wrap up a couple of
