| 12s | and hello and welcome to the fifth |
| 16s | anniversary livestream for planetside 2 |
| 19s | everybody how you guys doing hopefully |
| 22s | pretty good you might be here right now |
| 25s | because we are patching again that's to |
| 28s | handle those issues that you guys are |
| 30s | seeing this morning there was |
| 31s | disconnects happening there was own |
| 33s | crashes everything was on fire |
| 35s | yeah everything was on fire yes but but |
| 39s | we were really quick with the |
| 40s | extinguishers correct no worries and so |
| 42s | that that patch should be should resolve |
| 44s | all those issues it should also resolve |
| 46s | a couple other issues that were spotted |
| 48s | with the patch this morning including |
| 50s | the 12-month boost that working |
| 53s | correctly yep |
| 54s | so we'll be sending out patch notes for |
| 56s | that soon but we had to run it here to |
| 58s | do the livestream right so let's see |
| 62s | what it's been a crazy year of |
| 65s | planetside that's a fun stuff happening |
| 67s | and we've we've done a lot of stuff this |
| 71s | year but before I get to that stuff |
| 73s | we'll be doing some some giveaways |
| 74s | during the stream today they're gonna |
| 76s | work a little bit differently than the |
| 77s | that we have done in the past yeah just |
| 81s | chatting in twitch chat makes you |
| 83s | eligible for the raffles and we're going |
| 86s | to be giving away some of the fifth |
| 89s | anniversary bundles today and we'll be |
| 91s | talking about what's in those bundles a |
| 93s | little bit later bang raffle yes so Kay |
| 96s | typing Bank raffle it's usually |
| 98s | technically works but saying something |
| 100s | nice about rel also gets you but it |
| 103s | doesn't give you any bonus points to try |
| 107s | I'm gonna try or so they think |
| 110s | so I did what do we do this year with |
| 113s | planetside we added orbital strikes to |
| 115s | the game which is pretty cool giant |
| 119s | massive explosions to clear out bases |
| 121s | and cause all sorts of havoc and mayhem |
| 123s | that we want to make those more usable |
| 126s | than they are right now but they're |
| 128s | already pretty cool right now we revamp |
| 130s | the implant system does the old one |
| 132s | scrapped it reconfigured it rebuilt it |
| 135s | somewhat from the ground up did we |
| 137s | revamp Endor |
| 138s | this year we also we also revamped in |
| 140s | Darth about that actually we revamped |
| 142s | Amrish as well as well |
| 144s | add an obstruction only Bay are not a |
| 146s | construction only based but we had a |
| 147s | construction accessible we're really |
| 150s | good at this we also added meltdown |
| 156s | alerts to the game with our critical |
| 157s | mass update and made it more we tried to |
| 160s | get the fights on continents to be more |
| 162s | balanced as well as getting people to |
| 165s | focus more the faction level objectives |
| 167s | certainly makes it more dramatic too and |
| 170s | then just lots of balance adjustments |
| 172s | which all the balance so it was |
| 179s | overwhelmingly positive all the feedback |
| 181s | I really can't thank you guys enough as |
| 183s | a community and just please continue to |
| 186s | keep showing your support yeah alright |
| 188s | I'm done so yeah thanks |
| 191s | we're so convincing so we did a AMA last |
| 196s | week and I felt like it was pretty |
| 198s | successful we had over a thousand |
| 200s | comments on it by the time we started |
| 202s | called it a day yeah last check it was |
| 204s | nearly 1400 and there were some really |
| 206s | great questions on there and I felt like |
| 209s | I got some we got some feedback from the |
| 210s | community that was unexpected and it |
| 212s | helpful so we're planning on doing those |
| 215s | more often it's always a lot of fun to |
| 219s | interact with the community you know we |
| 221s | were in there for maybe four or five |
| 223s | hours trying to get to every question |
| 225s | get to as many answers out there as |
| 228s | possible so many questions so what are |
| 230s | some of the like the feedback you would |
| 232s | give to the community on how they |
| 234s | interacted with us oh yeah so I writing |
| 237s | the the super long posts is it's a |
| 240s | little bit difficult for us to address |
| 241s | all of those things because we all have |
| 243s | different spheres of expertise so being |
| 247s | able to answer all those questions in |
| 248s | one post is is tricky so we're just |
| 250s | trying to answer the ones we can at any |
| 252s | given point yeah and also like actually |
| 255s | a community member was kind of divvying |
| 256s | up each question and two posts and that |
| 258s | makes it a lot easier for us yeah so |
| 260s | they can kind of sort through it and |
| 262s | different community members can jump in |
| 263s | for different things without having us |
| 264s | to step on each other's toes which I |
| 266s | think happened probably a couple of |
| 267s | times kind of sort of yeah we were just |
| 269s | trying to answer questions as fast as we |
| 271s | could yeah yeah it was it was a lot like |
| 273s | I spent like trying to read as many of |
| 276s | them as we can |
| 276s | it's just like you know trying to be if |
| 280s | you the more concise the post is the |
| 281s | easier it is to just go wrap it through |
| 284s | and and answer as much as possible and |
| 286s | also the the baby posts guys can't have |
| 293s | nice things |
| 294s | so some what were some of the |
| 296s | highlighted questions though the most |
| 298s | common ones I mean combined-arms was |
| 300s | obviously a very discussed topic |
| 303s | discussed it was touched on quite a bit |
| 306s | we did actually we gave out some some |
| 309s | answers that people probably weren't |
| 311s | expecting so like the Japan Japan server |
| 313s | yeah so we've been investigating that |
| 316s | we've been hearing people talking about |
| 318s | the sort of the Asian or just a |
| 323s | international contingent that saw in |
| 325s | Connery and we so that if the game is |
| 328s | being popular with with those regions we |
| 330s | want to be able to serve those regions |
| 331s | better so we've been investigating |
| 333s | getting a Tokyo server up and running |
| 335s | for planetside sounds like it's |
| 337s | something that we can make happen and no |
| 341s | promises yet but we're we're in the |
| 343s | process of getting all the stuff in |
| 345s | place the main thing that is a little |
| 347s | tricky about it though is gonna be |
| 348s | allowing for the server transfers |
| 350s | because we we don't have a formalized |
| 353s | system for allowing transfer between |
| 355s | servers we don't plan on implementing |
| 358s | the formalized system for for doing |
| 360s | server transfers so it's gonna be purely |
| 363s | a one-way ticket and we're gonna have to |
| 365s | come up with some way to make it a |
| 366s | little bit more palatable for our |
| 369s | database operations group yeah so that |
| 371s | yeah the database operations group like |
| 373s | a Nick mentioned that's completely |
| 375s | separate from us they have their own |
| 376s | like they serve the entire company so |
| 379s | there's a lot that they they handle so |
| 382s | these pieces yeah it just makes a lot of |
| 385s | sense for it to be a kind of a one-off |
| 387s | thing yeah but I but none of these |
| 389s | hurdles are ones that we can't clear we |
| 390s | definitely can make it happen |
| 392s | and so just stay tuned we will we should |
| 395s | be should be announcing something soon |
| 397s | yeah it was a bunch of fun questions too |
| 401s | I particularly like the ones that were |
| 402s | like what's the the craziest thing you |
| 404s | wanted to do but we you know couldn't |
| 406s | for whatever reason you know I I quite |
| 409s | like that one which |
| 410s | I question what you answer it's not too |
| 427s | bad yeah I any other AMA stuff that kind |
| 430s | of sticks out in your mind just I was |
| 432s | excited that there was a question about |
| 434s | lore because that's actually something |
| 436s | I've been really interested myself and |
| 438s | as I answered in the AMA we're working |
| 441s | on developing sort of a planetside Bible |
| 444s | that we're trying to collect all the |
| 446s | lore as it stands right now and make |
| 449s | note of the places where there's huge |
| 451s | gaps there's also community but created |
| 454s | Lord that we actually like quite a bit |
| 457s | Salem will be looking to maybe |
| 459s | incorporate some of that stuff into the |
| 461s | actual kated lore yeah and develop some |
| 464s | some new story to make the just flush |
| 467s | out the lure of planetside because I |
| 469s | think it's really like it's got amazing |
| 471s | potential I love sci-fi but myself it |
| 474s | has that whole Battlestar Gallactica |
| 476s | thing going on but it has a lot of other |
| 479s | sort of elements going on as well |
| 481s | there was a Neal Stephenson book called |
| 484s | seven Eve's that maybe you guys know |
| 488s | about that |
| 488s | I definitely like some of the elements |
| 491s | that are going on in there as well so |
| 493s | just that's another thing to stay tuned |
| 496s | for we're gonna be doing some stuff with |
| 498s | planetside lore in the coming year yeah |
| 499s | and good job eclectic Trek and other |
| 502s | community members who are kind of |
| 504s | interesting that sort of thing it's we I |
| 507s | mean I think it'd be impossible to say |
| 509s | that that we've read it all but we have |
| 512s | an interest in it and I know I've read |
| 514s | some stories and but have been super |
| 515s | impressed by it so yeah it's it's a good |
| 518s | thing to have them community more |
| 520s | community what impact I guess look at a |
| 523s | word community a interaction and |
| 526s | engagement yeah |
| 528s | engagements probably you guys are |
| 530s | passionate about the game and it shows |
| 532s | through to us in charges us to do better |
| 535s | and like be more excited about the game |
| 537s | ourselves it's it's a fantastic feedback |
| 540s | loop yeah and like I said that's that's |
| 542s | one of the reasons I love interacting |
| 543s | the community you know you guys are so |
| 545s | passionate you care so much about the |
| 546s | game that it really inspires us it's |
| 548s | kind of easy to get lost sometimes and |
| 550s | just like doing the work because we've |
| 553s | for the anniversary bundle we've just |
| 554s | been heads down like yep just like |
| 556s | drilling so but let's show off the first |
| 567s | bundle the first the initiate spindle |
| 573s | let's shoot it over to rile screen all |
| 576s | right so the initiates actually so this |
| 578s | year we have three different bundles but |
| 579s | the initiative one has has a camo for |
| 583s | everybody and I've been told that this |
| 585s | camo is uh pretty pretty decent this |
| 588s | year and a couple of decals an |
| 590s | anniversary horn which i think is |
| 591s | hilarious actually want to show this off |
| 592s | I know not supposed to do this while |
| 595s | you're waiting while you're setting that |
| 597s | up there's a question about player |
| 598s | studio vehicle horns that's that's a |
| 600s | very difficult thing to do because of |
| 602s | how audio works in our game it's not |
| 604s | just like playing out as yeah just dump |
| 607s | it in there yeah unfortunately but I'd |
| 610s | be fine I'm still waiting for uh for |
| 612s | John Cena and I think it should happen |
| 619s | we should probably slay some time for |
| 621s | that and also you get a carbine so |
| 624s | Empire specific carbine it's either |
| 627s | going to be the Lynx the zenith or the |
| 629s | the Bandit for for the different |
| 632s | factions are and they're gold and black |
| 635s | so I think it's fancy |
| 637s | I like I'm just gonna show off the Horn |
| 643s | real quick actually you can see on the |
| 644s | screen that I have the Dogu SMG which is |
| 649s | on test right now all of the the Jays |
| 652s | here what am i doing right yeah I was |
| 657s | trying to find where my vehicles go all |
| 659s | right so let's let's pull a lightning |
| 660s | right here and this horn is like |
| 662s | everybody gets it everybody gets a |
| 664s | galaxy gets and all the vehicles get it |
| 675s | ready yep that's my lights okay that's |
| 679s | might something else okay hold on we had |
| 686s | to wait like forever it's like a whole |
| 691s | 12 seconds yeah I know I know |
| 693s | man those horn nerfs though super cheesy |
| 705s | you love it |
| 706s | so speaking of all the cool stuff that's |
| 707s | in that bundle we're gonna go ahead and |
| 709s | give away one of those bundles right now |
| 710s | yeah all you have to do to make yourself |
| 712s | eligible for one of those bundles is |
| 714s | have typed something in twitch chat |
| 716s | started or yes since we've started and |
| 719s | I'm sure people are typing stuff now oh |
| 722s | yeah the Roxy will be the one handling |
| 727s | the sort of raffle and contacting the |
| 730s | winners of these raffles as the as the |
| 731s | stream is going on all right |
| 734s | so shall we introduce Zach mm-hmm good |
| 737s | bye for now I'll see you guys later |
| 739s | yeah all right so we have been building |
| 743s | up the team actually very recently we |
| 746s | have added a few new new members which |
| 751s | is super awesome it's nice to uh it's |
| 753s | nice to be growing as a team again yes |
| 756s | yeah super thrilling so I this is Zach |
| 760s | mr. Zach Antwon and he is a UI |
| 770s | programmer that we hired when and |
| 772s | September yeah sweet so he's been around |
| 776s | actually we also hired recently a |
| 778s | programmer Garrett brush which has |
| 781s | interacted a little bit on the ami |
| 783s | actually Zach interacted a little bit on |
| 784s | the AMA as well that's answered three |
| 786s | questions three questions right and so |
| 788s | one was about well I didn't answer the |
| 791s | one about our favorite alcoholic |
| 793s | beverages oh you did not like that was |
| 795s | the one I was most qualified to answer |
| 798s | yes because I don't want to speak out of |
| 800s | turn are we are we allowed to mention |
| 802s | the stuff on stream yeah sure |
| 804s | see what do you have a favorite I'm a |
| 806s | liquor kind of person okay it was liquor |
| 809s | beer or wine okay that was pretty broad |
| 811s | categories nothing is there a specific |
| 814s | liquor drink that you like huh whiskey |
| 818s | kind of congratulations to the two marv |
| 822s | de for winning that initiates |
| 823s | anniversary bundle |
| 825s | Kazu enjoy that anniversary cord yeah so |
| 831s | I Zack has been with us for a little bit |
| 833s | now and he's just been tearing apart are |
| 836s | you I know well not tearing apart that's |
| 838s | probably a little bit more violent I've |
| 840s | been building building and like |
| 843s | investigating it and that sort of thing |
| 844s | so I'm where have you or what kind of |
| 846s | work if you've been doing prior to us |
| 848s | okay so I'm a man of a particular set of |
| 853s | skills |
| 854s | to quote Liam Neeson Thanks way back in |
| 858s | when I was in college actually I was |
| 860s | doing flash and ActionScript work on the |
| 864s | side and it was always just something |
| 867s | that was there for me and in 2010 or so |
| 871s | Steve Jobs declared it dead technology |
| 876s | yeah |
| 877s | and it kind of held true but you would |
| 881s | still find people that we're still using |
| 882s | the technology so my name just having |
| 887s | that on my resume would have everybody |
| 889s | coming at me just because you know there |
| 891s | weren't many people doing what I was |
| 893s | doing and you're doing a lot of contract |
| 897s | work contract work |
| 898s | six months to just work oh yeah floating |
| 901s | from job to job picking up new projects |
| 903s | and I think that's really helped with |
| 905s | this job just digging into an existing |
| 908s | code base and I just want to clarify |
| 911s | this isn't a contract job yeah so Zack |
| 923s | is on the team he's been or is a UI |
| 925s | programmer and what what is what does UI |
| 928s | programming entail so there's sort of an |
| 931s | ambiguous line between a UI designer and |
| 934s | a UI programmer |
| 936s | they sort of interact the jobs kind of |
| 939s | go hand in hand at certain times but I |
| 941s | would say when some people think of UI |
| 944s | they tend to think of the design side |
| 947s | you know making things look pretty |
| 949s | making things look cohesive and they |
| 953s | want the information to be communicated |
| 954s | in a certain way |
| 956s | I certainly have to account for that |
| 958s | when I'm doing my job but I'm more on |
| 961s | the functionality side of things making |
| 963s | things work making the buttons actually |
| 965s | do stuff and press them and actually |
| 967s | bringing up the correct information and |
| 969s | showing it to the to the player yep has |
| 972s | has there been any challenges so far |
| 977s | I mean how have you acclimated to AI |
| 978s | from like me looking at you it just |
| 981s | looks like you hit the ground running |
| 982s | and kind of just uh I've been doing very |
| 984s | very well so far |
| 985s | but as far as your sorry I know I know |
| 988s | like made you feel good but on your side |
| 993s | do you feel like you're learning quickly |
| 995s | and after you do you feel like there's |
| 996s | still like a whole lot to learn do you |
| 998s | feel like you just dip your toes in like |
| 1000s | what kind of comfort level yeah I think |
| 1003s | the task that I'm I'm taking on really |
| 1006s | helped the drive or helped drive the |
| 1008s | learning process okay yeah so like I can |
| 1011s | look at something and I can start going |
| 1013s | down this investigative path trying to |
| 1015s | find the right places in code and |
| 1020s | there's still tons to learn about this |
| 1021s | this beast of a codebase going through |
| 1026s | but I feel like I'm taking it and in |
| 1029s | pretty good strides and really picking |
| 1032s | up sort of the nuances of the system |
| 1035s | you've been making a lot of changes so |
| 1038s | far and basically everything that I |
| 1041s | let's do that why not okay so if you |
| 1044s | want to search my screen here yeah we |
| 1046s | see on chat that there's some people are |
| 1048s | thankful at least one person for the |
| 1050s | adding some of the additional info to |
| 1052s | like the mini-map so here well this one |
| 1055s | person it's only one person it's |
| 1057s | literally only one person yeah I'm |
| 1060s | kidding I'm sorry okay so we've done a |
| 1062s | bunch of changes or rather Zack has |
| 1065s | since we we took one board and |
| 1068s | one of which is that so you have capture |
| 1071s | points that now show a padlock icon on |
| 1074s | them when you cannot capture them which |
| 1075s | makes it so like when you're when you're |
| 1078s | fighting to a base and a stay forever |
| 1080s | I'm just trying to get there and then |
| 1081s | you finally get to the capture point |
| 1082s | only for it to say like no you know you |
| 1084s | can't capture it anywhere like that's |
| 1085s | that's a horrible feeling so being able |
| 1088s | to know in advance like whether or not a |
| 1090s | capture one is valid it's kind of a cool |
| 1091s | thing so there's one thing and that's on |
| 1094s | the the mini-map your - we have yeah |
| 1097s | yeah and we have faction population per |
| 1101s | region so that's a it's only when the |
| 1103s | map is open so that there's a lack of |
| 1105s | right so there's no clutter there the |
| 1108s | ISO counter now shows alongside the the |
| 1112s | rest of your currency it got some |
| 1113s | feedback about this feeling cluttered |
| 1115s | and honestly I agree so we can |
| 1117s | definitely reevaluate and any move like |
| 1120s | one option might be just to have an on |
| 1122s | screen one you have a maximized mini-map |
| 1125s | here or you know maybe not at all we're |
| 1127s | always open to to change it showed on |
| 1130s | the tab screen as well so you can |
| 1131s | quickly take a stock of that sort of |
| 1133s | thing and you know instead of just |
| 1135s | having it up in the that window here I |
| 1137s | think I accidentally showed off some |
| 1138s | implants that's fine good so what else |
| 1142s | do we change we change a bunch of stuff |
| 1144s | the world map yeah the world map so so |
| 1147s | if you go to the world map you can see |
| 1149s | the world map here which is I takes you |
| 1151s | normally the screen was only accessible |
| 1153s | from the the warp gate terminal which is |
| 1156s | like one place like where you start and |
| 1159s | it's like when you never saw it again |
| 1161s | so having I having the map more |
| 1163s | accessible like this allows us to do |
| 1165s | some cool stuff like if we for example |
| 1168s | hypothetically wanted to show like which |
| 1171s | outfit owned the continent or like how |
| 1173s | scrolling text fir'd you know which I |
| 1175s | know who owned it recently or you know |
| 1178s | what the scores are and that sort of |
| 1179s | thing like we can make these we can we |
| 1181s | can do some fun stuff because this is |
| 1182s | more easy or it's easier to access now |
| 1184s | also if you are stuck in VR training |
| 1187s | after a continent locks you aren't you |
| 1190s | aren't just like sitting there on the |
| 1191s | map screen waiting to if you can't get |
| 1194s | into the next continent because you're |
| 1195s | on the / pop faction shame on you |
| 1197s | you can actually go to the world map and |
| 1198s | then go to VR training which you |
| 1200s | couldn't do before |
| 1201s | because it was only accessible like from |
| 1204s | from the screen so yeah there's that and |
| 1207s | then I can open the map to go back to |
| 1209s | where you were I just a bunch of quality |
| 1211s | of life stuff like from the the loadout |
| 1214s | screen if you're in a loadout terminal |
| 1215s | you can actually click on the boost |
| 1216s | button it will take you to the boosts |
| 1219s | what else there was some squad changes |
| 1222s | made as well right yeah I mean actually |
| 1225s | I think most of them is kind of sitting |
| 1227s | in your your changeless training on just |
| 1229s | yeah we're waiting because we want to |
| 1230s | get the rest of the changes so you can |
| 1233s | sort your squads now I believe yeah you |
| 1235s | can sort by the different columns there |
| 1238s | right distance cohesion that sort of |
| 1239s | thing so that's it's kind of helpful to |
| 1240s | have cool yeah there's there's a bunch |
| 1243s | of stuff that's on the way |
| 1245s | good just one we did more than that |
| 1247s | there's a lot more there is a lot more |
| 1248s | it's just yeah you don't have instant |
| 1252s | recall of everything god it's been a |
| 1255s | blur like I don't even know what |
| 1256s | happened okay okay so shall we why don't |
| 1262s | you go ahead and show off the what |
| 1263s | empire do you play Zach while you're |
| 1265s | while you're pulling up the the soldier |
| 1268s | bundle like what said the soldiers were |
| 1270s | sad to say that we're giving them a hard |
| 1278s | time because because yes is a very |
| 1280s | popular faction I'm kind of a weird word |
| 1292s | tacky yeah well we're all hip we're all |
| 1297s | have been cool yeah so what do we want |
| 1300s | to show off the the other bundle yeah |
| 1302s | yes yeah yes yeah I already unlocked |
| 1306s | some of those stuff here yeah but the is |
| 1309s | my audio Stella can I move the mic |
| 1310s | that's fine okay so at the soldiers of |
| 1314s | five year anniversary bundle so instead |
| 1315s | of the initiative the the three nine |
| 1318s | nine nine is forty bucks |
| 1320s | favorite cash bundle here it's the |
| 1323s | mid-tier you have a helmet mount the |
| 1325s | helmets is a this kind of fancy stalwart |
| 1328s | one and it has this this super sweet |
| 1331s | shader on it if I don't say so myself |
| 1333s | yeah that's pretty cool and the |
| 1335s | Lightning gets them |
| 1336s | city and trim similar very similar |
| 1337s | shader and also this looks like super |
| 1339s | Metallica doesn't it miss or anything |
| 1340s | like that but I don't know if that's |
| 1342s | gonna turn you off or on but it's still |
| 1343s | pretty sweet regardless and you have the |
| 1346s | let's say we have the automatic Scout |
| 1349s | rifles they all have gold versions of |
| 1351s | them they're super slick and and I'll |
| 1357s | say oh L set of decals with the |
| 1361s | superiority decal yeah yes which are |
| 1364s | just the the decals that have no number |
| 1367s | behind them and that's kind of fancy and |
| 1369s | also these six-month or out boosts like |
| 1370s | everybody they're really like the heroic |
| 1374s | boost it's one of the main draws to |
| 1375s | these these bundles every year so that's |
| 1378s | this is where you get it and but I guess |
| 1381s | we can't tell people enough even though |
| 1384s | it's pretty well known but the corrupt |
| 1387s | boost is granted only to the character |
| 1389s | that purchases the bundle right I know |
| 1391s | that there's some people that still that |
| 1393s | they're they struggle with that |
| 1395s | particular part end up talking to or see |
| 1397s | us department but just want to throw |
| 1399s | that out there yeah yeah so it is on the |
| 1401s | character and there's disclaimers on the |
| 1403s | bundle so nobody can well so hopefully |
| 1405s | people don't get confused yeah so six |
| 1408s | months rogue boost easy peasy and we |
| 1410s | want to give one out yeah let's go right |
| 1413s | now so same rules all I gotta do is have |
| 1415s | typed something into twitch chat and it |
| 1418s | makes you eligible for the raffle yeah |
| 1420s | so good luck everybody |
| 1421s | bang raffle bang do we have any plans |
| 1425s | for cult here this is a loaded question |
| 1430s | there's not a pop this on man strict |
| 1432s | maybe we could wait till the end all |
| 1433s | right well maybe maybe I mean Colt here |
| 1437s | is is obviously it didn't serve its |
| 1439s | purpose as the the training continent |
| 1441s | and we were going to evaluate what we |
| 1445s | want to do with that and also other |
| 1446s | unused assets really like in Nexus and |
| 1449s | that sort of thing as we move into the |
| 1451s | 2018 so cool so what are we doing for |
| 1455s | ps4 ps4 ps4 so we sort of we didn't |
| 1460s | quite get playing the implant system and |
| 1463s | meltdown out as we had hoped |
| 1465s | today but we are so so close |
| 1468s | so let me show you guys if you can swing |
| 1470s | it over to my monitor here here's a |
| 1473s | video of the actual implant system |
| 1475s | working on ps4 I know I saw showed a |
| 1478s | screenshot of this last last time here |
| 1480s | is it full working completely in the end |
| 1483s | you can select your implants you can |
| 1485s | equip them we've tested all the implants |
| 1488s | they work on ps4 you can upgrade your |
| 1491s | implants so let's go ahead and upgrade |
| 1493s | the ammo printer here and upgrade it |
| 1496s | again sort of watch this clip a couple |
| 1498s | times and you can also purchase your |
| 1504s | your bundle packs so the one thing |
| 1506s | that's missing it'll pause it whenever |
| 1507s | we get to that part so there's a couple |
| 1511s | different ways to get to the actual |
| 1512s | bundle purchases that's one of the ways |
| 1513s | so if we have the ISO recycler thank you |
| 1518s | yeah ISO icon actually appear correctly |
| 1522s | at the store but we already have this up |
| 1526s | and running you purchase your packs so |
| 1528s | here's the main thing that needs to be |
| 1529s | implemented is when you purchase your |
| 1530s | pack right now you're getting this same |
| 1532s | congratulations screen is currently |
| 1536s | being shown we wanted to show the actual |
| 1538s | implants that you're awarded you can go |
| 1540s | and look at what you got in the |
| 1541s | inventory right now but this is the one |
| 1544s | piece of the puzzle that's still |
| 1545s | remaining the real thing that's |
| 1546s | preventing us from releasing implants to |
| 1548s | ps4 right now though is we're tying it |
| 1551s | into the meltdown system and the |
| 1553s | meltdown system is still like it's very |
| 1555s | close but it still requires some we're |
| 1557s | testing how you do get these these item |
| 1560s | unlock notifications but that we don't |
| 1562s | think that's quite enough |
| 1563s | that's not submission yeah yeah but I |
| 1565s | mean now that we have some UI we can |
| 1566s | definitely hammer on on all sorts of |
| 1569s | things okay oh yeah we got a winner for |
| 1575s | the soldier bundle congratulations to |
| 1577s | sev are my Knights for that |
| 1580s | congratulations forget that soldier |
| 1582s | bundle you want yeah that's pretty cool |
| 1583s | yeah let's see and it's also on the ps4 |
| 1588s | for it we're we do know that there's |
| 1592s | that technical issue with there's the |
| 1595s | commander's bundle is not showing up on |
| 1597s | ps4 so we're looking into that right now |
| 1600s | yeah |
| 1600s | um I mean we're gonna yeah I mean we |
| 1604s | have kind of a half-measure |
| 1605s | queued up for the time being but I mean |
| 1608s | ideally we want the the bug to be fixed |
| 1611s | before we do the Ethan and I |
| 1613s | appreciation sale which is that January |
| 1615s | or February that is February February |
| 1618s | okay yeah so hopefully that'll be fixed |
| 1621s | by then yeah I don't want it to come to |
| 1623s | that yeah yeah hopefully hopefully |
| 1625s | before that yeah yeah so we I think well |
| 1629s | there's pretty good chance we'll get it |
| 1630s | fixed in the next day or so but worst |
| 1633s | case scenario that's where it'll appear |
| 1635s | again we want to move on to show it off |
| 1639s | some of those Doku smg's sure why not |
| 1642s | all right so if you don't mind swinging |
| 1644s | over to my screen here so I should |
| 1645s | probably be in VR training but you know |
| 1648s | so we released three new SMGs on the |
| 1651s | public test server right now and you can |
| 1653s | kind of dive in and mouse around and |
| 1656s | these are all done by Doku we contracted |
| 1658s | Doku out he did amazing art for us and |
| 1660s | and you'll see plenty of these weapons |
| 1663s | on the way so this er SMG I like so |
| 1670s | there's a smg's or all that kind of they |
| 1673s | have you know real Empire specific on |
| 1675s | flavor for most of them and the the TR |
| 1679s | SMG actually has a and what am i doing |
| 1688s | has a attachment that you can equip that |
| 1693s | gives it a little bit more power |
| 1695s | specific flavor so the the Trident burst |
| 1697s | adapter here |
| 1697s | well allow you to not just use the SMG |
| 1700s | for for shooting man's but also let you |
| 1703s | use the SMG for super shoot demands nice |
| 1708s | I like this are you thinking the same |
| 1711s | thing I'm thinking it's like you'll have |
| 1718s | no idea what we're talking about that's |
| 1719s | yeah so there was a community video |
| 1721s | there was the low-budget audio cracks me |
| 1730s | up |
| 1731s | well anyway yeah I know that was that |
| 1733s | was hilarious that was like the best |
| 1734s | piece of |
| 1734s | community content I shouldn't play |
| 1736s | favorites sorry but that was like the |
| 1738s | best thing that I've seen in a long long |
| 1739s | time |
| 1742s | somebody somebody shouldn't bite that |
| 1744s | name for life except make it a TR |
| 1746s | character yeah so we're gonna switch on |
| 1748s | over to go to the the NC weapon right |
| 1750s | here the NC is the the Gladius SMG and |
| 1754s | and it has a thumping sound beefy oh |
| 1758s | yeah good alright and this SMG it hits |
| 1764s | with 200 damage model which is the same |
| 1766s | as the Gauss song so it's very it's very |
| 1769s | chunky at yeah it's very NC in flavor |
| 1774s | okay air vehicles have to run from that |
| 1776s | lady and yeah and it's an SMG is |
| 1780s | probably the least interesting maybe of |
| 1782s | the the three but it's also it's super |
| 1785s | solid so by far not the least powerful |
| 1787s | yeah for sure and then there's an ammo |
| 1789s | type that can increase I'm talking over |
| 1791s | this go for our commander okay you're |
| 1794s | done okay and it has a special ammo type |
| 1797s | that increases velocity by 50% normally |
| 1799s | not super useful on an SMG to be |
| 1801s | completely honest but it can definitely |
| 1803s | help you get hit it confirms that okay |
| 1805s | fine finally I'm leaving I'm leaving |
| 1807s | lady thanks lady |
| 1812s | all right yes yes is probably the most |
| 1816s | interesting now it's gonna look like |
| 1818s | we're bias yeah but it's also so the |
| 1822s | thing about yes is that is just really |
| 1823s | easy to do interesting stuff because |
| 1826s | there lore and yeah because of you know |
| 1828s | they kind of embrace the the sci-fi |
| 1830s | aspect of the sci-fi shooter so yes you |
| 1835s | have the the VES canis and there's well |
| 1840s | I guess we gotta throw a sight on it I |
| 1841s | have really just purchase that let's |
| 1842s | just do that and all these optics 3.4 X |
| 1846s | you don't do that at an SMG the this one |
| 1849s | yeah okay so got this |
| 1854s | Papapa I got to get away from everything |
| 1856s | leave this world okay so I know some |
| 1862s | Jean obviously has a as a nice yeah it's |
| 1868s | so crazy it starts out with a low rate |
| 1871s | of fire and then spins up to like the |
| 1872s | fastest rate of fire but it happens over |
| 1874s | 2.5 seconds so that's it's not realistic |
| 1877s | for somebody to hit that unless they're |
| 1878s | just in super close quarters and then I |
| 1879s | could just kind of I just combo it on |
| 1882s | people and I can I can imagine some |
| 1885s | really fun situations but there's also |
| 1888s | some unique attachments here so one of |
| 1890s | them is the regenerative power core |
| 1891s | which isn't this is a 40 round magazine |
| 1894s | so you might not find basically what it |
| 1896s | does is it kills the log reload in a |
| 1898s | long reload is just a longer reload that |
| 1900s | takes place when you have an empty |
| 1901s | magazine with a 40 run magazine is kind |
| 1903s | of it's more difficult to justify but |
| 1906s | it'll basically just like always let you |
| 1908s | do the short reload so if you have a |
| 1910s | habit of emptying out the magazine this |
| 1912s | will be a little bit it'll be something |
| 1914s | that you might have an interest in but |
| 1917s | more of the reload after taking two |
| 1919s | shots guy yeah yeah but the the intent |
| 1924s | was kind of to pair it with these |
| 1925s | unstable ammunition so unstable |
| 1928s | ammunition is it makes the projectile |
| 1930s | spatter which there's been some very |
| 1932s | lively discussion regarding but and some |
| 1935s | of those concerns are taken on board the |
| 1936s | the internal version is a little bit |
| 1938s | different there was some nerves to the |
| 1939s | cone of fire and we'll go from there |
| 1941s | throw it up on to us see what you think |
| 1942s | but yeah so the bullets get bigger it |
| 1945s | gets battery and maybe makes it easier |
| 1948s | for you to land a head shot maybe makes |
| 1950s | it easier for you to let certainly makes |
| 1951s | it easy for you to land body shots and |
| 1954s | so it gives you like a better chance to |
| 1956s | kind of like empty that magazine and |
| 1958s | feel good about it |
| 1959s | lay lay more shots on target because the |
| 1961s | bullets are just bigger so that's when |
| 1962s | the regenerative power core kind of |
| 1965s | comes into play anyway |
| 1967s | that's uh yeah I'm really diggin these |
| 1970s | things |
| 1973s | so speaking of some more Doku stuff we |
| 1976s | want to finally do it show off what |
| 1979s | these uh these other weapons are gonna |
| 1981s | look like I think it's time all right |
| 1982s | let's do it |
| 1983s | okay all right let's put on my screen |
| 1985s | all right so here they are here's the |
| 1988s | the TR ones oh man |
| 1990s | thank you dokey there's the vs ones oh |
| 1993s | god I love them |
| 1995s | absolutely love them and there are the |
| 1997s | NC ones so I don't know which ones are |
| 2000s | my favorite I know I'm a vs guy but man |
| 2003s | those TR ones are looking pretty sick |
| 2005s | yeah they are pretty sick |
| 2006s | hi we're all looking at the screen right |
| 2008s | now yeah but uh they're they aren't so |
| 2012s | what are we going to be able to reveal |
| 2014s | in the future is it gonna be maybe some |
| 2016s | unique weapon mechanics to go along with |
| 2018s | these guns |
| 2018s | well yes yes we have to we want to |
| 2023s | really hammer on the amp our specific |
| 2026s | flavor of these things and we're gonna |
| 2028s | think outside the box a little bit and |
| 2030s | develop some unique mechanics which |
| 2032s | which takes code time and fortunately we |
| 2034s | have a little bit more of that now so we |
| 2036s | can kind of hit that and LNG's are gonna |
| 2039s | be next I'm just gonna say it |
| 2040s | the LMGs we're gonna get a torque TR LMG |
| 2043s | it's just gonna happen because we've |
| 2044s | been wanting it for so long super high |
| 2046s | rate of fire and low damage model but |
| 2048s | just like it's docked to the extreme so |
| 2051s | yeah we'll do that |
| 2052s | look at that yeah maybe even some UI |
| 2054s | elements that need to be implemented |
| 2056s | from scratch what does that even mean |
| 2059s | numbers the numbers appearing over |
| 2061s | people yeah for sure so let's answer |
| 2067s | this question or the old anniversary |
| 2069s | bundle is going to be available so in |
| 2071s | during a reximus which we well yeah we |
| 2076s | do sales during a reximus and on the |
| 2078s | weekends I think we've traditionally |
| 2079s | sold some of the the older bundles and |
| 2082s | you'll probably see that come back again |
| 2083s | as well as actually I've been getting |
| 2085s | requests for like it for doing that I |
| 2088s | gave you suppressed platinum maybe are |
| 2090s | you go with that I know sorry I |
| 2094s | shouldn't have done that on stream I |
| 2095s | think this is the pan back for that |
| 2096s | calls your question earlier |
| 2098s | and we'll think about it okay and the so |
| 2102s | the NS 11 a platinum it was the summer |
| 2104s | reward |
| 2105s | I don't like there's there's been some |
| 2106s | requests for older weapons so I like |
| 2109s | things to be unique to the think about |
| 2114s | it alright |
| 2115s | but either way there's gonna be fun |
| 2116s | stuff and in December there including |
| 2118s | like revamping the the holiday directive |
| 2122s | and we've definitely learned some |
| 2124s | learned some things from the revamp of |
| 2126s | the Halloween directive so I mean we've |
| 2129s | learned that people really really love |
| 2130s | infiltrators and they love it when |
| 2132s | you're using power knives and they love |
| 2134s | it when you're running people over at |
| 2136s | the Wraith click flash we're just gonna |
| 2137s | just gonna write it all right well that |
| 2141s | joke didn't go anywhere |
| 2142s | anyway yeah but it will be completely |
| 2144s | redoing the sorry I got distracted |
| 2146s | no it's why the holiday directive and |
| 2149s | you should look forward to some some |
| 2150s | cool stuff including new cows man I have |
| 2152s | a nice or xmas thing to throw up here we |
| 2154s | go ray alright hey so what's what's |
| 2158s | happening for a reckless even there yet |
| 2160s | you don't pick up the holiday |
| 2161s | decorations until after Thanksgiving you |
| 2166s | know I I should know I'm on my street |
| 2169s | there's people that are putting up their |
| 2170s | their Christmas lights alright yeah |
| 2172s | that's not me though I was overachievers |
| 2175s | it's yeah although you know what really |
| 2178s | made me feel sort of a jerk about it was |
| 2181s | I was we were welcomed by someone who |
| 2183s | was putting up their Christmas lights |
| 2186s | and there this little like three year |
| 2189s | old girl ran out it was like hey like |
| 2191s | she was like just totally losing her dad |
| 2193s | putting the lights up I'm like I'm sure |
| 2198s | Wow so anyways what's happening for her |
| 2203s | well I mean it's just basically that |
| 2205s | like well we'll talk about the the |
| 2207s | revised holiday directive once we get |
| 2209s | down there and if if we have a chance to |
| 2212s | show off new cosmetics before that you |
| 2214s | know maybe we'll have another stream in |
| 2216s | December yeah oh yeah right yeah yeah |
| 2219s | there might be some more fun things but |
| 2222s | even this they're gonna happen I know |
| 2225s | yeah alright this could be new |
| 2228s | directives yeah good because I like what |
| 2232s | we did with Halloween yeah what else we |
| 2236s | got here |
| 2237s | ah I think it's time to show off the |
| 2240s | what's in the commander's bundle and get |

| 2247s | can't let me smalls okay all right so |
| 2250s | the commander's five-year anniversary |
| 2251s | bundle is it comes complete with |
| 2254s | everything else from the other two |
| 2255s | bundles of course as well as a neutral |
| 2259s | goal tax camera which is usable across |
| 2261s | all factions and instead of the Empire |
| 2262s | specific color it has a gray and we have |
| 2265s | a war bringer title which is um right |
| 2268s | now this is actually well hopefully it's |
| 2270s | fixed now it will be fixed though okay |
| 2271s | so the the war bringer title supplies |
| 2274s | not all all your characters but it |
| 2276s | didn't prior and we're gonna give out we |
| 2279s | gotta do a great risk it's for everyone |
| 2282s | who purchased the bundle and thank you |
| 2283s | for purchasing the bundle like so |
| 2285s | quickly we we will get the list of those |
| 2288s | people and make sure that you get that |
| 2289s | title granted to your account at the |
| 2291s | account level for show okay and so we |
| 2296s | have some implants as well minor cloak |

| 2300s | what else main battle tank obsidian |
| 2304s | trims so you have this side yeah it's |
| 2309s | kind of fancy so just like the lightning |
| 2311s | now before and you have a 12-month |
| 2314s | heroic boost I also hold a bunch of nine |
| 2317s | basic impacts those as much implants but |
| 2320s | a 12-month rogue boost that's a year's |
| 2321s | worth of double experience well 50% 50% |
| 2324s | bonus experience yep and we've never |
| 2326s | done this before |
| 2327s | no so it's a pretty good deal when you |
| 2330s | when you try to figure out how much it |
| 2332s | would cost to buy that much boost yeah |
| 2336s | so people should dig on that yeah |
| 2338s | and that being said shall we go ahead |
| 2342s | and do a raffle to give away a |
| 2344s | commander's anniversary bundle the big |
| 2347s | one same rules apply if you type in |

| 2352s | eligible for the raffle and really good |
| 2355s | luck to everyone this time |
| 2356s | I know that they want this one so yeah |
| 2360s | let's see what else while there while |
| 2362s | they're running the raffle so what's |
| 2364s | gonna be happening in the next year |
| 2365s | planetside 2 |
| 2367s | we definitely have some plans let's I'm |
| 2372s | just gonna wing it |
| 2372s | we good so you want to talk about the |
| 2379s | stable work yes that's okay so the |
| 2382s | meltdown system critical mass is |
| 2383s | certainly not perfect but actually it's |
| 2386s | been creating some situations that are |
| 2388s | super tense and engaging and we like |
| 2390s | those and then other engagements that |
| 2392s | there are other situations where like |
| 2395s | you'll have just one faction running |
| 2397s | away with all the territory and then |
| 2398s | it's impossible to deal with it at all |
| 2400s | so there's some things we're gonna be |
| 2402s | doing to change that both how the system |
| 2404s | works |
| 2406s | congratulations I'm gonna go on for a |
| 2408s | while so let's just get this out of the |
| 2409s | way fashion zero on congratulations |
| 2414s | person of the internet yes yeah so yeah |
| 2420s | we want to definitely address some of |
| 2422s | the meltdown issues that are cropping up |
| 2425s | and we are definitely just hammering on |
| 2427s | the system as a whole but also we're |
| 2429s | gonna implement a system one that we're |
| 2430s | cause i calling unstable warp gates and |
| 2433s | what it does is it makes the off |
| 2434s | continent so the continent that is has |
| 2437s | the lowest population it loosens up on |
| 2440s | the the population restrictions in that |
| 2443s | are the population balance restrictions |
| 2445s | so it can help get people out of your |
| 2446s | training and onto a continent to do |
| 2448s | something but it also makes it so you |
| 2450s | cannot you cannot trigger a critical |
| 2454s | mass alert basically this is I it's it's |
| 2456s | a continent that is not it's not in play |
| 2460s | basically so you can go there the the |
| 2463s | turret the amount of regions kind of |
| 2465s | restricts and you will get some very |
| 2468s | specific lanes to operate within and |
| 2470s | what's the population creeps up past |
| 2471s | like a hundred or so like ninety some |
| 2474s | odd players then it'll unlock again and |
| 2477s | then it'll become a real continent I but |
| 2480s | that is it's our way to solve having a |
| 2483s | continent that opens up what you just |
| 2485s | don't have enough players to to go there |
| 2486s | and do anything right now online you'll |
| 2489s | have people who are just |
| 2490s | all their hives and then they'll you |
| 2492s | know wait or they'll take all the |
| 2493s | territory and then Lotus wait for that |
| 2494s | the hives to to tick up and then they'll |
| 2496s | just get a free alert one and we don't |
| 2497s | want that now we won't keep booking |
| 2500s | fighting non-stop and also to help get |
| 2503s | you out of your training and yeah what |
| 2506s | else okay so that's probably the the |
| 2508s | most the thing that we're doing |
| 2510s | immediately yes that's the thing we're |
| 2512s | gonna be focusing on immediately yeah |
| 2513s | the rest of the year yeah so for the |
| 2516s | next four 2018 we want to hammer very we |
| 2521s | want to focus a lot on how to play on |
| 2524s | squad play leadership and just a better |
| 2529s | sense of strategic importance so like |
| 2532s | territory control of matters progression |
| 2534s | for outfits is something that's gonna be |
| 2536s | a big thing and I know that certain |
| 2538s | outfits will be super excited about that |
| 2539s | and really their experience as well yeah |
| 2543s | we really want to encourage that |
| 2544s | leadership role yeah like a lot of |
| 2546s | people right now feel that it's a little |
| 2548s | bit of a drag no it definitely is a drag |
| 2550s | because I mean we we haven't really |
| 2552s | rewarded players for doing this and also |
| 2554s | we haven't made it super easy for them |
| 2555s | to to actually do it's like I mean have |
| 2558s | you ever heard it cats I mean well not |
| 2560s | maybe not literally but yeah herding |
| 2563s | cats is kind of a difficult but as an |
| 2565s | open platoon lead that s'what you're |
| 2566s | doing don't stop so we're gonna try to |
| 2569s | flush that experience out a little bit |
| 2571s | more make it easier on everybody at all |
| 2573s | levels so not just blood to him but also |
| 2574s | squad and even below that fire teams and |
| 2576s | such that's fit so more permanent for |
| 2583s | outfits more showing the names where |
| 2584s | they matter and like you want to be an |
| 2588s | outfit that kind of like present |
| 2590s | yourself to the world and say that you |
| 2592s | know we are this thing and no weird you |
| 2594s | know come stop us and that sort of thing |
| 2597s | where was it going with this last thing |
| 2600s | I wanted to mention okay so new player |
| 2601s | experience is also a big focus for 2018 |
| 2603s | as well we have to have to revise the |
| 2607s | new player tutorials like we need to |
| 2609s | make that the whole experience more |
| 2610s | sticky for new players while layering on |
| 2615s | more depth through the squad play on the |
| 2617s | Alpha play and that sort of thing we |
| 2619s | want the funnel fundamental experience |
| 2620s | to be super easy to to get used to and |
| 2623s | comfortable with as a new player and |
| 2624s | that's um something that we want ahead |
| 2627s | as soon as possible but yeah okay yeah |
| 2632s | yeah I'm really looking forward to |
| 2634s | creating some tutorials that are helpful |
| 2637s | to new players but still interesting for |
| 2639s | existing existing audience yeah to have |
| 2642s | sort of time trial type things to run in |
| 2646s | in vehicles that show you some of the |
| 2649s | unique abilities of some of these new |
| 2651s | vehicles and like some of the advanced |
| 2653s | ways of actually using them so it's |
| 2655s | ambitious we have ambitious ideals heard |
| 2657s | for the game in general but also this |
| 2661s | this year I mean we've been ramping up |
| 2662s | the team size and we have we have |
| 2664s | resources now to really hit things out |
| 2669s | of park hopefully yeah everybody's |
| 2672s | looking at the screen to like waiting |
| 2673s | for for James Floyd to finish typing so |
| 2679s | there's one of the questions is if are |
| 2681s | we planning to bring back competitive |
| 2682s | play competitive play is a thing right |
| 2685s | now well yeah it's um it's community |
| 2687s | driven yeah to bring back competition oh |
| 2690s | I see yeah so the planetside battles is |
| 2694s | they pretty much do their own thing and |
| 2696s | we try to support them as much as we can |
| 2698s | we're still a small team so we yeah we |
| 2702s | just do as much as we can but now I can |
| 2705s | understand if if we want it's a question |
| 2708s | asking for like a more formalized |
| 2709s | approach to competitive play because |
| 2711s | that's not outside the realm of |
| 2713s | possibility yeah but yeah we definitely |
| 2715s | have a compute competitive scene at the |
| 2718s | very least we want to help promote |
| 2719s | existing competitive play events and |
| 2723s | there are places where these players |
| 2724s | gather and we want to direct people to |
| 2727s | those places at the very least yeah yep |
| 2730s | and we're gonna try to do a better job |
| 2732s | about mentioning these things on Twitter |
| 2735s | like when new events are popping up and |
| 2736s | that sort of thing and also like if |
| 2738s | there's an event that you want me to |
| 2740s | promote and mention feel free to ask me |
| 2742s | at least ask me the question you know |
| 2744s | see hey we're all can you um can you |
| 2746s | push this out on Twitter help raise |
| 2748s | awareness and I'm more than willing to |
| 2750s | do that you know most the time here |
| 2755s | you would I mean we're gonna bounce out |
| 2760s | for these questions okay last one all |
| 2763s | right what about sanctuaries yeah so |
| 2766s | sanctuaries is its kind of a future |
| 2768s | that's been in limbo because it requires |
| 2770s | a bunch of surrounding elements to make |
| 2772s | it work as a social hub that's fine and |
| 2776s | this is the the problem that the team |
| 2779s | ran into prior did this when they were |
| 2781s | developing sanctuary like a year ago is |
| 2783s | that there's just a bunch that you need |
| 2786s | to kind of do before it becomes a valid |
| 2789s | play space I |
| 2791s | design-wise I mean I've been in there |
| 2794s | kind of tooling around with it with Tori |
| 2796s | and editor and kind of fleshing it out a |
| 2798s | little bit more it's not it's not |
| 2799s | finished like art wise but we do have |
| 2802s | some some things that are functional |
| 2804s | kind of it's still up in the air whether |
| 2807s | or not we want to to focus on doing |
| 2810s | something with it there's more important |
| 2813s | things that need to to be addressed |
| 2815s | first I feel yeah yeah but one of the |
| 2817s | things that I feel is important is not |
| 2819s | only is it acting as a social space |
| 2821s | where people where players can interact |
| 2823s | and in place where they're not shooting |
| 2824s | at each other and stuff is also to tell |
| 2827s | a little bit of additional lore yeah and |
| 2829s | that as I mentioned before we're |
| 2830s | flushing that stuff out right now and |
| 2832s | it's gonna take a while to transition |
| 2833s | some of that new law or existing law |
| 2835s | into assets and content for the first |
| 2837s | sanctuary so it's sort of the thing |
| 2839s | that's causing us to to continue pushing |
| 2842s | it down yeah I mean there's we would |
| 2845s | like to eventually you know if it's not |
| 2847s | sanctuary specifically then you know |
| 2849s | social hub is nice I think most games go |
| 2851s | through this loop where they you jump in |
| 2853s | then you you're in your like little |
| 2856s | personal area and then you go play and |
| 2859s | then you earn the credits and then you |
| 2860s | go back to the personal area they send |
| 2861s | it or you spend money in that sort of |
| 2863s | thing that was actually Global Agenda |
| 2864s | had a good loop destiny has a good loop |
| 2867s | for that sort of thing yeah oh yes so I |
| 2876s | put up you probably did oh so you did |
| 2878s | tweet about this I put out a video okay |
| 2880s | talking about five years of planets out |
| 2883s | there and I mentioned during tech trees |
| 2884s | for outfits okay so that's where they |
| 2886s | got that fruit yeah oh maybe |
| 2888s | no the guys even watched the channel I |
| 2891s | think they do so yeah some of that Zach |
| 2897s | you've been strangely silent no that's |
| 2899s | not strange at all okay let's just get |
| 2904s | stuff done that's what I've noticed I'm |
| 2905s | thinking about what I have to do when I |
| 2907s | get back to my desk |
| 2908s | yeah see okay there's a lot there's a |
| 2913s | lot there's a lot how about we give away |
| 2916s | one more commanders bundle yeah so if |
| 2920s | you guys type something in chat that |
| 2923s | should make you eligible for the for |
| 2926s | this raffle and let's go ahead and give |
| 2928s | away one more commanders bundle do we |
| 2931s | want to go over some of the stuff that |
| 2933s | came out today |
| 2933s | we went over some of the UI but I mean |
| 2937s | it's kind of kind of late in the stream |
| 2938s | there so yeah it's pretty late in the |
| 2939s | stream game but we had mentioned prior |
| 2941s | that we wanted to to go over revise the |
| 2943s | patch because a lot of like some |
| 2944s | important bugs yeah yeah so there's some |
| 2947s | bugs that were excited that got fixed so |
| 2949s | excited about bugs like that's a rare |
| 2951s | thing yeah so we showed off this bug in |
| 2954s | the last stream was the the floppy |
| 2956s | phantom turret bug yeah so the second |
| 2964s | turret the spawn so the physics one and |
| 2966s | occasionally like flip your vehicle and |
| 2968s | that sort of thing and yeah we we showed |
| 2970s | it off during the livestream and that's |
| 2972s | called first |
| 2973s | oh it's fixed okay it's fixed yeah it's |
| 2975s | fixed yeah you can blame Nick if it's |
| 2977s | not yeah another bug that got fixed |
| 2982s | that's sort of big sort of was the |
| 2986s | remote spawn where your vehicle would |
| 2988s | spawn on top of another vehicle and be |
| 2990s | upside down and all kinds of wacky |
| 2991s | States so hopefully that that one we've |
| 2995s | fixed some cases of it I feel like |
| 2997s | there's still some cases that might |
| 2999s | exist but there should be a lot less of |
| 3001s | it if not none of it if we didn't get |
| 3004s | any more reports yeah if anything pops |
| 3006s | I've just let us know and we can |
| 3007s | continue to investigate it just typing |
| 3016s | the name non-stop okay okay so the |
| 3019s | winner congratulations to |
| 3021s | for winning that commanders bundle |
| 3023s | Congrats yes other really neat things |
| 3028s | that we we fixed with this one there was |
| 3030s | so much it was a pretty big oh you want |
| 3032s | to talk about some of the the |
| 3033s | rebalancing we've done to like the |
| 3035s | Liberator |
| 3036s | yeah so I mean well community has I had |
| 3040s | some pretty steadfast opinions on the |
| 3042s | Liberator lately and we kind of moved |
| 3045s | the the Dalton like back that direction |
| 3047s | buffed the Zephyr buffed the the duster |
| 3050s | and the tank buster as well and made |
| 3052s | some adjustments to yes have to give |
| 3055s | them a little bit less of tankiness |
| 3058s | against the UM actually well against |
| 3060s | like shredder type vehicles and that |
| 3062s | sort of thing so with combined numbers |
| 3064s | in general we're definitely moving we're |
| 3066s | trying to find a proper balance point |
| 3068s | that meets our design goals and also |
| 3070s | kind of respects what the the community |
| 3073s | wants to see so yep more more on the way |
| 3078s | of course alright so I'm looking over at |
| 3090s | Paula Garrett anything else so I just |
| 3096s | wanted to bring up real quickly that we |
| 3097s | got this double xp event that's running |
| 3100s | through telex Friday and also a members |
| 3105s | double xp event starts on that Friday we |
| 3108s | have overlap there so this might happen |
| 3112s | again in the future but this will be the |
| 3114s | first time we ever allow for the overlap |
| 3116s | to create a quadruple experience day so |
| 3121s | Ivy had a firework gun you'd be like |
| 3123s | setting off right now what Drupal |
| 3125s | experience yes iko iko iko so but when |
| 3129s | we tested this what happened was a |
| 3132s | hundred XP turned into 600 XP it was |
| 3136s | with no boosts so basically that the the |
| 3140s | 400 XP was been adjusted by the 50 |
| 3142s | experience the 50% bonus that the |
| 3145s | members got so that turned into six |
| 3147s | hundred so it's wacky math wacky math |
| 3150s | exactly because a population differences |
| 3152s | are going to factor in and |
| 3153s | beuse are going to factor in and then |
| 3155s | the membership bonus is going absurd |
| 3157s | crazy we're giving away starts like |
| 3160s | you'd never believe like that so you |
| 3162s | should definitely if you have a |
| 3163s | membership you would be crazy not to |
| 3165s | play on Friday so yeah and yeah that's |
| 3170s | basically it |
| 3171s | yeah so thank you all thank you for five |
| 3175s | years five years of playing sense |
| 3177s | yeah yeah yeah most games don't really I |
| 3182s | don't want to say they don't stick |
| 3183s | around because they're kind of you know |
| 3185s | they're in the background but I think |
| 3187s | we've we've been pretty solid in this |
| 3189s | this year is certainly better off for |
| 3191s | all of us but we are planning for four |
| 3194s | big and bright yes things in the future |
| 3196s | so join us happy Anniversary everybody |
| 3200s | happy Anniversary or dare you just |
| 3203s | called it happy birthday yeah that's a |
| 3205s | beer stream this board yeah yeah |
| 3222s | you |
