| 3s | hello everyone welcome to the planetside |
|---|---|
| 6s | 2 stream yeah oh I'm supposed to say |
| 9s | something now yeah Nick doesn't need a |
| 13s | mic is actually just gonna project his |
| 14s | thoughts into yours |
| 15s | right through the internet yeah no let's |
| 18s | see our stuff is poorly engineered like |
| 21s | the mics built-in we just don't have it |
| 23s | set up with this okay so yeah welcome |
| 27s | everybody to our advanced specialization |
| 30s | program stream specialization stream |
| 34s | advanced specialization stream yeah |
| 36s | we're gonna talk about a bunch of stuff |
| 38s | today but before we start I just wanted |
| 41s | to thank the community for for that |
| 44s | amazing community smash |
| 46s | I just everybody involved the casters |
| 49s | that were casting The Force commanders |
| 50s | that were there just leading those |
| 52s | forces in the game the people who |
| 54s | organized it it's incredible that to see |
| 56s | that many people all part of the same |
| 58s | event together and just all the |
| 59s | participants it was it was amazing match |
| 61s | to watch it just shows playing it cited |
| 64s | its absolute best I can't I can't I've |
| 67s | just been gushing about it ever ever |
| 69s | since it happened so well 400 and 400 is |
| 72s | pretty impressive yeah it's no other |
| 76s | game can do it and so and you guys |
| 78s | really showed it off at its best so |
| 80s | thank you so much for that event and |
| 82s | we're looking forward to seeing more and |
| 84s | thank you fara for coming back to the |
| 86s | stream because that's you're the best |
| 88s | commentator anyway so yeah what are we |
| 94s | talking about today we're gonna be |
| 96s | showing off a little bit of the new Doku |
| 98s | rifles that that are gonna be going to |
| 101s | the game soon yeah they're working |
| 102s | they're working progress right now so |
| 104s | but we'll be showing you guys what we |
| 106s | got so far |
| 107s | also we're gonna be introducing you guys |
| 110s | to a new team member you've already |
| 113s | talked to him a little bit on reddit but |
| 115s | we're gonna be bringing them on so you |
| 116s | guys can see them also we're going to |
| 119s | talk about the construction changes that |
| 120s | the Drew's been working on show off show |
| 123s | off a little bit also we're going to |
| 126s | tell you guys what the advanced |
| 127s | specialization program is all about yeah |
| 128s | we haven't even told you that ASBA |
| 131s | stands for advanced specialization |
| 132s | program so |
| 134s | so yes B stands for advanced |
| 136s | specialization the program and a task |
| 139s | let's see oh and also on this stream |
| 142s | we're going to be doing giveaways as |
| 143s | usual it's gonna be the same system as |
| 146s | we usually have for raffles if you type |
| 149s | anything especially nice things about |
| 151s | rel in the the chat that it'll enter you |
| 155s | into the into the raffle and and roxy is |
| 159s | going to be handling the the chat and |
| 161s | let you guys know who won so with with |
| 165s | without much ado like i kick it over to |
| 168s | terrell here to talk about battle rifles |
| 170s | yeah yeah okay so battle rifles are an |
| 173s | extreme work in progress right now uh |
| 175s | don't don't take any of the stats that |
| 177s | you see as uh as law or fact or whatever |
| 180s | but you can see the models hurt in the |
| 184s | game the audio is it's pretty close for |
| 186s | the the TR and the NC actually i think |
| 189s | the audio is done the animations are |
| 190s | pretty close they need some polish but |
| 192s | the s1 is not not set up yet but we'll |
| 195s | see that in the nearest future so the |
| 199s | point of the battle rifles B's and |
| 201s | battle rifles are going to be more like |
| 203s | heavy battle rifles so instead of the |
| 205s | youth the more spammable i etalon mr at |
| 209s | 66 and the other one the the warden |
| 214s | which are all the same stats we decided |
| 216s | to make a new set of battle rifles and |
| 218s | add some empire specific flavor and i'm |
| 222s | just gonna click a few few times here |
| 225s | but we'll talk about the mechanics that |
| 226s | we kind of intend on doing a little bit |
| 228s | so this is an c1 i you can tell it's got |
| 231s | like the sauce chunky sound |
| 234s | I think it's like yeah and let's go to |
| 237s | our yeah so the TR one is is fully |
| 243s | automatic and you can tell these the |
| 245s | magazine sizes are going to be pretty |
| 247s | long this may or may not be the final |
| 249s | numbers but yes the TR one has a |
| 253s | rotating barrel but still slow firing |
| 255s | like all the battle rifles yeah and |
| 272s | there's some magic happening with the |
| 274s | animation so again work and progress the |
| 278s | ps1 doesn't actually have sounds right |
| 280s | now I can show you the model if you'd |
| 281s | like yeah that's all and I've heard some |
| 286s | of the sounds for this and I was really |
| 289s | disappointed we couldn't quite couldn't |
| 291s | we just got a sound drop today so so |
| 295s | we're cutting it really close but you |
| 297s | should see these things on pts at some |
| 300s | point like probably not this week maybe |
| 302s | next week |
| 302s | potentially yeah so speaking of pts drew |
| 306s | is gonna be on pts later so if you want |
| 308s | to get your clients downloading now |
| 309s | you'll be able to mess around in there |
| 312s | see if you can find them mess or like |
| 314s | mess them up and mess them up yeah see |
| 319s | some of the new construction stuff we'll |
| 320s | be talking about doing that alright so |
| 324s | those the the battle rifles so some of |
| 327s | the mechanics that we we've been wanting |
| 329s | to do fun mechanics here for all the |
| 331s | Doku weapons and we've kind of been like |
| 332s | missing it every because we've been |
| 335s | trying to push off these weapons but for |
| 337s | the battle rifles we're kind of content |
| 338s | to just just take our time yeah make |
| 340s | sure that we get those unique game |
| 342s | mechanics in there that just really had |
| 343s | something new to the game with with |
| 345s | these rifles and we're thinking piercing |
| 348s | as a mechanic for NC and I know Paul is |
| 351s | working on that right now yeah so you |
| 353s | know being able to shoot through someone |
| 355s | to hit someone else there's a lot of it |
| 359s | is that's what NC do anyway I shoot |
| 361s | three so we just need it to be through |
| 365s | the enemy twice |
| 367s | but yeah so the physics of the bullets |
| 370s | are pretty deep in the engine and we're |
| 373s | essentially just trying to find exactly |
| 375s | where we detect that collision as we |
| 378s | move it forward in space notice that |
| 381s | we've hit something find out how to |
| 384s | continue it going and ignore the thing |
| 387s | that we're currently inside of so we |
| 389s | don't just get like a million collisions |
| 390s | on that same target there was a we were |
| 394s | talking earlier like in the week about a |
| 396s | bug where there was like a head shot in |
| 399s | a different game that like it hit him |
| 400s | twice in the head so it did not only |
| 402s | extra damage but twice as much extra |
| 405s | damage huh and just one shot people |
| 412s | seeing if we can give designers tools |
| 414s | you know whether it's SKUs or whether it |
| 417s | does less damage or something like that |
| 420s | on the second head there's all sorts of |
| 422s | stuff yeah so fun mechanics when we find |
| 425s | time we're trying to work on those |
| 426s | actually we've we've knocked out a |
| 428s | number of interesting design tools that |
| 431s | are gonna go into we're doing more |
| 434s | implants later that's to be to be |
| 437s | announced when they drop but probably I |
| 441s | can probably like scroll through the |
| 442s | icons right now screencap guessing as to |
| 459s | what all they are and actually the the |
| 462s | class specific so we're a whole new |
| 464s | batch of class specific implants are |
| 466s | coming out but and also the icons were |
| 467s | redone for the old ones as well to make |
| 469s | them a little bit more clear so yeah but |
| 472s | all sorts all sorts of fun stuff let's |
| 473s | do a giveaway yes do it so why don't we |
| 476s | do that typing in chat if you've typed |
| 479s | in the last like minute or two or |
| 481s | whatever that you're already all set say |
| 485s | something nice about Ralph yeah you know |
| 488s | maybe the way that he's clean shaven |
| 491s | today and my my razor is like it was |
| 495s | dull and then it broke this morning so I |
| 498s | yeah see I just skip it I just use the |
| 500s | the beard trimmer |
| 502s | if anyone's asking about that I ran out |
| 505s | of Mohawk it's like I just yeah oh yeah |
| 507s | they've never seen it before yeah it's |
| 509s | been a while I think I teased him with a |
| 511s | hat laughs this is to represent the the |
| 514s | unstable warp gate system with the |
| 515s | lactose it's actually a clear mohawk |
| 521s | phases in and out it just so happens |
| 523s | that it's not it's a little more |
| 525s | unstable right now we're gonna say Nick |
| 527s | possibly so we have a winner |
| 540s | diseases has 100 I'm sorry yeah okay |
| 547s | oh sorry I'm not a disease there was |
| 550s | this type in the chat to Cecil |
| 552s | which is either a diesel weasel or or |
| 554s | also diseases a different type of |
| 557s | disease but thank you and |
| 560s | congratulations okay so let's go ahead |
| 563s | and bring drew onto the street okay |
| 564s | we'll have Paul back get out of here |
| 566s | fourth faction sure we have a new member |
| 582s | of the team so some of you may have run |
| 584s | into drew before already on write it and |
| 586s | you've been doing a lot of a lot of |
| 589s | interaction with the community yep so |
| 591s | far about the community's favorite part |
| 593s | of the game |
| 593s | that's so so that's always a lot of fun |
| 596s | could you tell us a little bit about |
| 598s | where you are from what your background |
| 601s | is from the gaming industry so I've been |
| 604s | at this studio for about of five months |
| 605s | before that I was at wargaming Seattle |
| 609s | working on an unannounced project and |
| 611s | then before that I was at destiny |
| 612s | all right Bungie working on destiny so |
| 615s | I've been both a tester and a designer I |
| 617s | also come from a background of some very |
| 619s | high level competitive gaming in both |
| 622s | Team Fortress and overwatch so yeah |
| 625s | yes we played a robot yeah yeah so far |
| 630s | Drew's been blowing Orion's about how |
| 632s | quickly is able to learn all these tools |
| 633s | and yes construction is one of the just |
| 636s | like I don't know just maybe this or |
| 640s | more disorganized parts yeah yeah yeah |
| 642s | so I construction has been it's been a |
| 645s | good learning and like a training |
| 648s | grounds for for drew because it |
| 649s | incorporates a lot of different elements |
| 652s | of the design pipeline and the the NPC |
| 656s | behaviors which a lot of construction |
| 658s | allowance raw elements run is it's |
| 661s | probably one of the more convoluted kind |
| 663s | of life and it's very difficult to it to |
| 666s | navigate so being able to deconstruct |
| 667s | that and and kind of poke around to see |
| 670s | what what works what doesn't and and |
| 672s | sometimes what should work there's a lot |
| 678s | to do in the system but it also pertains |
| 680s | not just a construction but to |
| 681s | everything that we do in our game so |
| 684s | there's a lot of things that I've |
| 685s | learned recently that there's been times |
| 687s | where are you |
| 691s | I know dare you I know there's systems |
| 697s | that we don't really understand and we |
| 700s | need you know know it's funny because |
| 702s | we're we're like coming across new like |
| 704s | I'm the waters like every everyday well |
| 707s | does like learn something something I |
| 708s | know yeah |
| 709s | so it's it's yeah across the entire game |
| 713s | it seems like we're constantly cleaning |
| 715s | things up yeah re-engineering yeah |
| 717s | making it more reusable and allowing for |
| 719s | ourselves actually Paul is really thing |
| 722s | on that he makes it he makes a focus to |
| 725s | to continue to to clean things up |
| 728s | they'll just make an extendable yeah for |
| 730s | the future doing things the right way |
| 731s | instead of the fast news so drew you're |
| 735s | gonna show off some some fun |
| 737s | construction yeah so over the past few |
| 740s | weeks I guess past month or so over the |
| 747s | past month or so we've come out with |
| 748s | three new items for the defensive side |
| 752s | of construction as well as one new |
| 755s | activatable ability so I have a base |
| 757s | here |
| 758s | and we have a few new things so the |
| 761s | first thing like a thing in red is the |
| 763s | pain spire so it does about 50 damage |
| 765s | per second to everything in this 15 |
| 767s | meter radius it's very effective it both |
| 772s | kind of giving you a reason not to |
| 774s | approach this area but it's not too |
| 777s | strong so if you move into it for too |
| 779s | long or if you move into it for a short |
| 782s | amount of time you can you can kill it |
| 784s | pretty easily so we should I let's back |
| 786s | up a little bit and and talk about why |
| 788s | we want to destroy you can structure |
| 790s | stone so the construction system right |
| 792s | now is very set up a base real quick put |
| 796s | a hive inside of it and then just let it |
| 798s | go |
| 799s | it's very I guess as someone coined the |
| 803s | term meat grinder II right now yeah so |
| 806s | infantry turrets air turrets all of |
| 809s | these different things are very |
| 811s | aggressive and kind of make it not fun |
| 815s | for offense right general yeah we want |
| 817s | to move the the ideal behind |
| 820s | construction shouldn't be invincible |
| 822s | fortresses it should be more like |
| 823s | blockades so things or bases that you |
| 827s | construct to interdict with it with a |
| 830s | normal lattice flow or or to project |
| 833s | power you know two different lattices |
| 835s | instead of just building in the hole |
| 837s | somewhere yeah and actually we'll be |
| 839s | talking so we're gonna be removing hives |
| 841s | in the future but I'll be talking about |
| 842s | that later sure so for that we've also |
| 845s | removed the invincibility from walls so |
| 848s | you can hit the walls now and you can |
| 849s | kill them repair modules do heal them |
| 852s | very quickly but not as quickly as as it |
| 857s | could be so it's effective but you know |
| 861s | you can take it down with a group of |
| 862s | people fairly easily so some of the |
| 865s | things that I wanted to show off was the |
| 867s | structure shield module so we've taken |
| 868s | this and we've added a new feature to it |
| 870s | so we now have a hack for it basically |
| 873s | so it's an activatable over about 15 |
| 876s | seconds of holding this down you get 30 |
| 879s | seconds of invulnerability for all of |
| 881s | your walls alright so and it only |
| 882s | affects the the rampart wall and the |
| 884s | blast walls as well yeah lost walls is |
| 886s | it's a nice feature to have because so |
| 889s | just to back up just a moment |
| 891s | we removed the invincibility did we |
| 893s | mention that yeah from from also I and |
| 896s | blast walls have never actually never |
| 898s | had a place we're fixing okay this is a |
| 900s | graphical bug we're working on and we |
| 902s | call it hall of mirrors |
| 903s | yeah fixing it all mirror stuff is it's |
| 905s | gonna be going away yep yeah at some |
| 907s | point but we right now you can see that |
| 911s | the the wall is invincible so there |
| 913s | should be a visual indicator so for this |
| 920s | moment we should probably mention right |
| 923s | we've mentioned this in some patch notes |
| 927s | a while back but it's worth mentioning |
| 928s | again we have commands we can leave it |
| 931s | under ease sure it's great |
| 933s | we added commands to the game that are |
| 935s | the /ignore commands so if you type in |
| 937s | /ignore you'll get all the all of the |
| 939s | sort of usage help for for that command |
| 943s | but basically the the two good ones to |
| 945s | use when you're streaming our ignore |
| 947s | space requests space refuse and ignore |
| 951s | space tell space refuse and that'll just |
| 954s | sort of make it so people can't really |
| 956s | send you messages yeah actually honor |
| 958s | can you go to me if you select the items |
| 960s | tab make it so so we have a person who's |
| 967s | burning from the paint spectrum can you |
| 971s | go to the the settings menu interface so |
| 976s | you can see the bottom what five bottom |
| 979s | four I think |
| 980s | yeah yeah so they're also exposed there |
| 982s | via the right and those actually update |
| 985s | once you if you were to do the commands |
| 988s | by hand they'll also update this menu as |
| 990s | well so there's no disconnect yeah so if |
| 993s | you're a streamer it's nice to have for |
| 996s | sure it solves that one problem that we |
| 998s | saw where a streamer ended up getting a |
| 1001s | request yeah from a random person to and |
| 1004s | be the the leader of their squad that |
| 1007s | there's additional sort of functionality |
| 1009s | to the command that if you use the slash |
| 1011s | version of it where you can add people |
| 1013s | to like sort of a allowed list away yeah |
| 1017s | so just if you have any questions about |
| 1019s | it let us know on the forums but yep |
| 1022s | yeah so the flail uh you want to talk |
| 1025s | about that yeah sure I've gotten it so |
| 1028s | Drew's gonna go out the little targeting |
| 1030s | device out of the thing and then run |
| 1031s | around okay so the flail is actually |
| 1035s | it's an artillery piece right now the |
| 1037s | models temporary everything you see with |
| 1039s | the other paints fire the the flail and |
| 1041s | actually the router which we'll be |
| 1042s | talking about next is temporary artwork |
| 1044s | that'll be I done at some point in the |
| 1047s | future and this is an artillery piece |
| 1052s | much like the the glaive IPC but it |
| 1054s | fires an anti-vehicle shells yeah yeah |
| 1058s | let's do it yeah we're not gonna really |
| 1062s | see it coming but so much like the |
| 1067s | acclaim of IPC it fires shells up into |
| 1070s | the air and then they will rain down at |
| 1073s | desired location and perhaps right now |
| 1076s | is the is the dart spammable it is |
| 1079s | currently for tests though in the future |
| 1081s | we are looking to reduce that yeah |
| 1085s | creating limitations although it's not |
| 1087s | was it broken right now so excellent |
| 1089s | perfect |
| 1092s | I shouldn't it would it would tell you |
| 1094s | anyway if you were delete the dart so |
| 1097s | maybe we just Jack something it's |
| 1108s | possible oh that would be okay so what |
| 1112s | we're doing that another item that we |
| 1116s | put together is a routing spire and drew |
| 1120s | will show it off in just a bit but the |
| 1122s | routing spire is why isn't black oh it's |
| 1129s | green on his screen okay oh the green |
| 1132s | screen effect is working oh okay |
| 1138s | so the so the routing spire what you do |
| 1141s | is you place this spire and spires are |
| 1143s | similar to modules except that spires |
| 1145s | have a different exclusion areas so the |
| 1147s | intent is to be basically stronger |
| 1149s | modules that are placed further away |
| 1151s | from one another |
| 1152s | now at the routing spire you can pull a |
| 1154s | route around which is similar to the the |
| 1157s | old Ford's one concept that we have had |
| 1159s | on test for a long time is like keep it |
| 1162s | held out the whole time all right you'll |
| 1164s | know inventory you'll run into a base |
| 1167s | where you so these these routers can be |
| 1171s | placed anywhere so they're just like a |
| 1173s | standard deployable you can place them |
| 1174s | within bases themselves and not jump has |
| 1176s | this unfortunate sorry sorry I |
| 1179s | but yeah so you can the intent is to |
| 1181s | take them into lattice spaces and help |
| 1183s | fortify your your offensive push so |
| 1185s | instead of solely relying on sunderers |
| 1187s | you have another like I'm a more |
| 1190s | logistical element that creates yeah it |
| 1193s | has some limitations and limitations are |
| 1194s | important but it allows for you to place |
| 1196s | get-get some spawn points that are |
| 1198s | deployable in two places at sunderers |
| 1199s | kit right exactly yeah they can go |
| 1202s | within no deployed zones that can go |
| 1203s | indoors which is a big thing as well the |
| 1206s | the router routers themselves once |
| 1209s | they're destroyed you have to go back to |
| 1210s | the router expire pick up a new one and |
| 1212s | then transport yourself back to the base |
| 1214s | right now I believe if you die they |
| 1217s | better stay I'm not sure okay so we want |
| 1221s | to be able to take them away from you if |
| 1224s | you die or if you redeploy and that's |
| 1226s | sort of thing if that guy speaking of |
| 1237s | speaking of crap but the rest of the |
| 1243s | April Fool's items will be coming back |
| 1245s | right yeah but not the toilet flush for |
| 1247s | no that has been now become a exclusive |
| 1250s | item that you if you purchased it before |
| 1252s | you you can know it's a rare things |
| 1255s | where ya feel special or it's becoming |
| 1257s | more rare yeah but it will not be |
| 1259s | available this year for they for full |
| 1260s | sale yeah some people really hate that |
| 1263s | horn it turns out yeah some people odd |
| 1265s | just yeah yeah okay so so here they come |
| 1271s | the sweet embrace of death don't oh nice |
| 1276s | okay Andrews in fits all right yeah yeah |
| 1280s | but well let's keep hammering the same |
| 1282s | location or is it just a one no it's |
| 1284s | just a one and done okay so it actually |
| 1286s | deletes the object the moment that it |
| 1289s | fires sorry which is really interesting |
| 1291s | yeah so you'll have to you'll have to |
| 1293s | recast it which means longer exposure |
| 1295s | time for you as a player to be sitting |
| 1297s | within the area and try to get this guy |
| 1308s | no no come back come back dude do I do a |
| 1311s | dance is gonna happen right here I sure |
| 1326s | hope that actually works so one of the |
| 1340s | other things that we wanted to bring to |
| 1341s | construction was an offensive site so we |
| 1344s | wanted to make it a lot more more than |
| 1347s | just using prowlers from a long range |
| 1348s | we're using MBT specifically this thing |
| 1351s | or max crashes so one of the things that |
| 1355s | we wanted to do in general was bring a |
| 1358s | new method of taking down the walls and |
| 1361s | taking down the modules in one block and |
| 1365s | drop another dart and part of the way |
| 1368s | that we wanted to do that was was making |
| 1370s | ants more than just a go get core diem |
| 1372s | and then come back or making ants more |
| 1375s | than just let's go RAM some people and |
| 1377s | that way but part of it for us was |
| 1384s | taking some of the objects that weren't |
| 1387s | ever used and making them more usable I |
| 1390s | suppose right and also I so did you |
| 1394s | mention that it's creating siege damage |
| 1395s | well that was that was how we got this |
| 1398s | to happen |
| 1398s | it was using siege damage okay so the |
| 1401s | answer right now the the howler |
| 1404s | specifically and a yellowjacket |
| 1406s | yeah will be able to to tear apart |
| 1407s | construction objects |
| 1409s | quickly yeah and and that creates a sort |
| 1412s | of risk reward because those those |
| 1414s | vehicles are in very short range and |
| 1417s | also if you're running the Yellow Jacket |
| 1418s | top laser you don't have the ability to |
| 1420s | defend yourself really outside of |
| 1421s | ramming people and throwing them around |
| 1423s | like John Cena if you show this up we |
| 1432s | need to tighten up yeah we do okay well |
| 1441s | that's good yeah so we added the |
| 1443s | offensive element that allows you to to |
| 1445s | go CG base and that's something that |
| 1448s | everybody has access to with the top |
| 1450s | mounted mind anyways our wish preview |
| 1451s | previously wasn't really used before and |
| 1454s | it just I mean it helped you get corps |
| 1456s | diem but who's gonna sit in the Gunners |
| 1457s | even help you do that so yeah not too |
| 1462s | bad we're still working on stuff they |
| 1464s | they're gonna gonna kill nice okay take |
| 1469s | it |
| 1469s | I construction we're still working yeah |
| 1476s | right now probably maybe next month |
| 1478s | maybe next month yeah we'll see I kind |
| 1481s | of want to make it around the same time |
| 1482s | that we do the other stuff that you're |
| 1484s | gonna talk about later yeah but going |
| 1490s | forward we kind of want to make it more |
| 1491s | of a soft base rather than these hard |
| 1495s | invincible fortresses yeah but we also |
| 1497s | want to make it more interesting for the |
| 1499s | players both making them and destroying |
| 1501s | them in Iraq so things like the overall |
| 1504s | shield and other things for sure yeah |
| 1509s | sure sure but before we do that let's do |
| 1513s | another giveaway now that giveaway so |
| 1515s | same rules as before type something nice |
| 1517s | and chat and while we're waiting for |
| 1522s | that well let's bring Paul back yeah |
| 1532s | haha of our stream |
| 1536s | the schnoz yes the snows yeah excellent |
| 1542s | let's go ahead and have rel walk us |
| 1545s | through what the ASP system is yes let's |
| 1548s | do that let's get all up in that ass is |
| 1554s | this a PG stream that's fine okay it's |
| 1557s | fine I think it's peachy enough okay so |
| 1561s | the advanced specialization program okay |
| 1564s | so apparently someone named fact Kim CAC |
| 1570s | won the raffle congratulations to fact |
| 1573s | Mike axe just cracking up in the back |
| 1576s | we're making me worse we're still we're |
| 1578s | still a PG stream thank you |
| 1587s | so yeah whatever the point of our stream |
| 1593s | advanced specialization program is what |
| 1595s | is the advanced specialization |
| 1597s | specialization program as some of you |
| 1600s | may have guessed is a new progression |
| 1602s | system aligned with prestige prestige |
| 1607s | better yeah better because we don't |
| 1609s | steal all your stuff you prestige you |
| 1613s | reset your battle rank and you keep all |
| 1616s | of everything but you go back to battle |
| 1619s | rank one prestige level one or ASP level |
| 1623s | one as it is for sure |
| 1626s | so I have multiple thoughts in my mind |
| 1632s | right now I'm sorry I'm sorry I wanted I |
| 1634s | wanted to mention that we were asked to |
| 1637s | to do a level increase so instead of |
| 1639s | just pushing out the battle rank which |
| 1642s | is it I feel is it's not only lame that |
| 1645s | means lame we decided do something |
| 1649s | that's not exciting oh sure |
| 1651s | not exciting we decided to to make |
| 1656s | something that's a little bit more |
| 1657s | interactive a little bit more engaging |
| 1659s | so we ended up with the advanced |
| 1662s | specialization program and also it helps |
| 1664s | us do some |
| 1665s | in the future but before we get to that |
| 1668s | to be a part of the advanced |
| 1670s | specialization program you need to be |
| 1671s | about a ranked 100 and you can be above |
| 1673s | bottleneck 100 I know it goes to - 120 |
| 1675s | which is kind of like part of the thing |
| 1677s | we're trying to get rid of because once |
| 1679s | you hit batter rank 100 there's this |
| 1681s | linear curve after that and it just it |
| 1683s | doesn't feel it is pretty grindy so now |
| 1688s | you get to to relive your your youthful |
| 1690s | days of battle rank 1 to 30 before you |
| 1693s | stall out again but the quick quick |
| 1695s | succession but ok so advanced |
| 1705s | specialization program once you are |
| 1707s | about on 100 you could be a member and |
| 1709s | get access to this for free or you can |
| 1711s | pay ten thousand certification points |
| 1713s | which as a free players is your your |
| 1716s | maximum so you'll you hit that the |
| 1718s | unlock and you will become a part of he |
| 1724s | will gain access to that specialization |
| 1726s | program and also I should have showed it |
| 1728s | before but you could preview the skills |
| 1730s | and see what you'll have access to now |
| 1732s | our advanced specialization points are |
| 1734s | something that you'll be earning once |
| 1736s | every twenty five bottl ranks and you |
| 1738s | also get one it about a rank one so as a |
| 1740s | total you'll get five battle rank points |
| 1742s | or five procedure |
| 1745s | ASP tokens a maximum of five you cannot |
| 1750s | circle back around once you hit battle |
| 1752s | rank 100 we have control of that right |
| 1755s | now it's not an infinite grind loop here |
| 1759s | although we may eventually well I mean |
| 1762s | we we certainly want to extend it but I |
| 1763s | think part of the the the exciting part |
| 1768s | yes very that was so hard to say yes so |
| 1775s | the exciting part of having a new battle |
| 1776s | rank is our battle rank cap is that a |
| 1779s | bunch of people are going to is that a |
| 1785s | bunch of people are going to be moving |
| 1787s | alongside you and going through the same |
| 1790s | process is you I think that that kind of |
| 1792s | it feels you know like a like something |
| 1795s | significant when when the the archive |
| 1796s | gets raised but and having an infinite |
| 1799s | kind of falls away from that anyway so |
| 1801s | some of the skills that you'll have |
| 1802s | access to and again |
| 1803s | you're only gonna get five points and |
| 1804s | there's this list of like what eight |
| 1808s | twenty-something skills at the moment |
| 1810s | and potentially we will add more in the |
| 1811s | future we tried to play it really safe |
| 1814s | this time around and so well I'll get |
| 1819s | into it but yeah infiltrator can get |
| 1821s | things like a carbine access which is |
| 1823s | kind of fancy or sticky grenade access |
| 1826s | which is kind of fun |
| 1827s | flash grenade access there's a lot of |
| 1828s | grenades sharing between classes but we |
| 1830s | also tried to retain the some of the |
| 1834s | style and flavor yeah yeah and so |
| 1838s | expanding it too we wanted to give you |
| 1840s | some sort of multi class style element |
| 1843s | but without detracting too much from the |
| 1845s | the purpose of the class so the |
| 1846s | abilities aren't touched tools aren't |
| 1848s | touched it's a lot of access to two |
| 1852s | different primaries or to put some of |
| 1854s | those primaries in your secondary slot |
| 1857s | considerations like the anti-material |
| 1858s | right yeah so originally so one of the |
| 1861s | things on the list was to give the |
| 1862s | engineer the ability to use antimaterial |
| 1864s | rifle in the secondary slot but if that |
| 1866s | was the case I could potentially throw |
| 1868s | through him balance out of whack if I |
| 1870s | just like making it too accessible means |
| 1872s | that there is essentially no trade off |
| 1875s | which means that Max is Tony who stood a |
| 1877s | chance anymore so it just things like |
| 1879s | that are taken into consideration like I |
| 1881s | said really safe and potentially we can |
| 1882s | expand upon this in the future I see |
| 1884s | there's no max ones there no max ones |
| 1886s | yeah yeah I don't know about that but it |
| 1890s | is truly a specialization you know one |
| 1892s | of the fantastic things about class game |
| 1896s | play is is people tend to gravitate |
| 1897s | towards what style they enjoy playing |
| 1900s | the most and this gives them an |
| 1901s | opportunity to double down or specialize |
| 1904s | or fill in some of the weaknesses of |
| 1907s | that particular play style now we're |
| 1910s | focusing more on expansion of a play |
| 1913s | style instead of power increase I mean |
| 1917s | you have maybe some exceptions you can |
| 1919s | make the argument for like well some of |
| 1921s | the weapons going to the secondary slot |
| 1922s | but this update is also being coupled |
| 1925s | with we're buffing pistols across the |
| 1928s | board at the same time except for the |
| 1929s | commissioner yeah yeah that's going the |
| 1931s | other direction a little |
| 1932s | but and nothing nothing crazy sorry I |
| 1935s | don't make ya check them out |
| 1941s | don't make judgement before you can get |
| 1944s | your hands on we always want you to have |
| 1946s | to allow the pistol to be a viable |
| 1948s | secondary because it has some traits |
| 1951s | like it's the fastest to pull out and |
| 1954s | once you run a name on your main weapon |
| 1956s | like remains the quickest draw ya |
| 1958s | quickest draw it's crud got a great |
| 1961s | hipfire for most these things so spend |
| 1962s | on your points okay fine fine |
| 1965s | so since engineer is my most played |
| 1968s | class and coincidentally house the most |
| 1970s | sorry gotta harp on that bias okay so my |
| 1975s | engineer now has access to a shotgun |
| 1976s | secondary this is probably gonna be the |
| 1978s | most controversial and so does let's get |
| 1980s | all the way right now just put it out |
| 1981s | there right out of ya so let's do a |
| 1985s | battle rifle on my my main hand and then |
| 1987s | the shocking magic magic tricks okay so |
| 1993s | now I have the battle rifle for my |
| 1995s | long-range combat here I switch my yeah |
| 2000s | it does it does so you situations show |
| 2006s | but yeah so that's kind of part of the |
| 2009s | trade-off yeah so it's one of the things |
| 2014s | you have access to kind of fun there's |
| 2017s | there's a bunch of other abilities and |
| 2019s | that's lots of lots of grenade sharing I |
| 2021s | think that's um so that's super fun so |
| 2024s | this ASP program it sounds like we had |
| 2026s | the mess with some pretty fundamental |
| 2028s | things with the game it sounds like a |
| 2029s | pretty major technical problem there |
| 2031s | yeah yeah so it was it was pretty |
| 2035s | involved so the experience system is |
| 2038s | pretty core in the engine it's it's a |
| 2040s | fundamental part of our gameplay it's |
| 2041s | something that's been around since the |
| 2043s | beginning since this engine was used for |
| 2045s | other games so picking up the whole |
| 2048s | thing and putting on another layer of it |
| 2050s | of having an entirely new set of ranks |
| 2054s | that you can rank up into and making |
| 2055s | sure they go to the next one properly |
| 2058s | and making sure they display in all the |
| 2059s | you know 30 50 areas in the UI that they |
| 2063s | show was kind of |
| 2066s | whole ordeal the metaphor I've been |
| 2069s | using is like popping open the plate of |
| 2071s | the electronics we have and just like |
| 2073s | slowly pulling the board up while making |
| 2076s | sure that none of the wiring has been |
| 2078s | severed and like trying to fit like the |
| 2081s | prestige system underneath so that it |
| 2083s | just rests on it and does exactly what |
| 2086s | everyone would expect it to everything |
| 2088s | like that but you know it's yeah we we |
| 2092s | don't want to mess it up for you so |
| 2093s | we're trying to make sure that we we do |
| 2095s | as as fantastic of a job as we can |
| 2097s | sorry I just revealed the the fake fake |
| 2100s | rent system this is not a thing there's |
| 2104s | no rent yeah no I mean you you guys have |
| 2112s | put tons of times into these these |
| 2114s | characters and just like you know |
| 2116s | thousands of hours or whatever it's we |
| 2120s | want to make sure that we do it right we |
| 2121s | want to make sure you have fun doing it |
| 2123s | and experiencing this new thing yeah it |
| 2125s | would have been I it would have been a |
| 2127s | lot easier probably to just dumpster |
| 2129s | like all of your experience yeah so we |
| 2135s | made we made considerations for things |
| 2137s | like like Dawson fall it's a site that |
| 2140s | tracks your experience and it kind of |
| 2141s | projects well battle rank you should be |
| 2143s | in that sort of thing and we didn't want |
| 2144s | to disrupt any of that for the community |
| 2146s | and yeah because that's the |
| 2149s | considerations that we make because we |
| 2150s | care about that sort of thing yeah when |
| 2151s | you when you prestige over it doesn't |
| 2153s | instantly level you off like 30 times or |
| 2155s | whatever yeah you know just lots of |
| 2157s | little things that go into it but you |
| 2159s | know we do it for you because it's a we |
| 2163s | want you to be happy |
| 2165s | we are adding or how already have added |
| 2169s | the API endpoint to look up your ASP |
| 2172s | ranks yeah for those stat sites they're |
| 2173s | gonna be have access to that on the |
| 2175s | player records immediately and we'll be |
| 2179s | updating our own site as well so that |
| 2180s | information will be on there as well for |
| 2182s | show a lot of the places where it shows |
| 2185s | the within the UI like you can show up |
| 2188s | where it shows your battle rank instead |
| 2190s | it'll show like a dot or a star yeah |
| 2192s | next to your battle rank to indicate |
| 2194s | your your ASP rank I love the name I'm |
| 2197s | sorry |
| 2199s | makes me smile so so you can tell star |
| 2208s | and this is your prestige icon actually |
| 2211s | you should be getting a title as well |
| 2213s | but the data is for that isn't isn't set |
| 2216s | up polishing it up make sure it's |
| 2220s | already before we flag it to go I've |
| 2222s | yeah cool exciting exciting so that that |
| 2229s | was the ESP system and we hope you guys |
| 2232s | are getting excited about it and let's |
| 2236s | see let's do another giveaway yeah |
| 2240s | we'll do our last giveaway of of the |
| 2242s | stream the exciting thing is so |
| 2244s | difficult yeah if you guys haven't |
| 2248s | noticed we're saying exciting a lot yeah |
| 2250s | it's really exciting to say exciting |
| 2252s | said I just love that word so much and |
| 2254s | we and I'm it's very exciting to me that |
| 2256s | someone might be playing a drinking game |
| 2258s | where they take a shot every time we say |
| 2259s | exciting we they we don't want to kill |
| 2262s | our player rays so yeah that was the SP |
| 2271s | system |
| 2272s | why don't we oh let's see and stake in a |
| 2275s | yes yes steak and cheese vs won the |
| 2277s | raffle congratulations steak and cheese |
| 2279s | congrats are you now I want a steak and |
| 2281s | cheese sounds good we've revealed this |
| 2286s | do we want to talk a little bit about |
| 2286s | what we're gonna be working on beyond |
| 2288s | the SP update absolutely okay so in the |
| 2292s | the near future some of the stuff is I |
| 2294s | mean we've had a lot of things in |
| 2295s | progress and they're just not ready to |
| 2298s | be revealed yet on stream but we'll get |
| 2300s | there so uh things like the mentor |
| 2303s | squads coming up soon the squads in |
| 2306s | general getting some of the UI has been |
| 2310s | done there's plenty more to do that's |
| 2313s | coming in this upcoming update let's see |
| 2319s | what else what are we even doing I wrote |
| 2323s | this down for a reason okay I freaked |
| 2324s | melt on continent events are coming up |
| 2327s | we talked about this last stream but we |
| 2329s | want to add |
| 2330s | small engaging events that kind of |
| 2335s | diversified gameplay before a continent |
| 2337s | is able to be captured through the |
| 2339s | mountain words well done with the |
| 2340s | removal of hives we need a different way |
| 2343s | to to prolong that experience and to |
| 2345s | give them something to do and yeah you |
| 2348s | know all sorts of fun little mini games |
| 2350s | almost ya know like gameplay variants |
| 2354s | right right yeah mixing up that |
| 2356s | experiences should be good and we can |
| 2358s | use it for like learning experiences so |
| 2360s | if if there was an alert I think I use |
| 2362s | this last time but if there's an alert |
| 2363s | that gives you access to two air |
| 2365s | vehicles you know non-stop and then |
| 2367s | house you go capture like air capture |
| 2369s | points that would allow like new players |
| 2371s | who don't typically get an experience or |
| 2373s | a fun flying experience because they're |
| 2375s | shot out of the air by aces but if you |
| 2378s | expand that and like make that the goal |
| 2380s | you know for a lot of people on the |
| 2381s | server you can create this massive air |
| 2382s | battles and that sort of thing and and |
| 2384s | get some flight time in for the newer |
| 2385s | players so there's lots of ways that we |
| 2387s | can tailor these experiences it's a lot |
| 2390s | that'll be coming up melt down is also |
| 2392s | getting changed back to the to a |
| 2394s | winner-take-all sort of alert on the |
| 2398s | docket as well and oh yeah so we're also |
| 2403s | ahead of it I forgot about it last time |
| 2404s | - yeah we are redesigning spawn system |
| 2407s | that's that's on our to-do list |
| 2409s | hopefully for ya just do it from scratch |
| 2411s | yeah start all over I might need to that |
| 2414s | do it again there's like when you spawn |
| 2416s | something in this game there's like ten |
| 2418s | different things that it may go through |
| 2420s | it could be cleaner yeah and hopefully |
| 2422s | it will be yeah so things if there was |
| 2428s | any if there was any silver bullet for |
| 2431s | alleviating circuiting or just helping |
| 2435s | disperse the the population and get |
| 2437s | players to the the fights that they want |
| 2439s | to be and the fights that are engaging |
| 2440s | for both sides that would be through |
| 2443s | making the the spawn system more easier |
| 2446s | to understand easier to read and also |
| 2448s | divert you to places that that the game |
| 2452s | should should probably be diverting you |
| 2454s | to in the first place so yeah that's |
| 2456s | gonna be a big focus of ours we're at |
| 2459s | the very least going to be starting work |
| 2460s | on that this coming month rather getting |
| 2464s | into work |
| 2464s | on this month and yeah those are the the |
| 2469s | biggest media terms yeah so something |
| 2471s | that I wanted to bring up is that one |
| 2473s | the ASP stuff that was going on a lot of |
| 2474s | people were mentioning that oh I hope |
| 2476s | it's alpha progression and we do too but |
| 2479s | that best outfit progression stuff is |
| 2482s | now fit stuff in general |
| 2483s | toward the end of the year so I kind of |
| 2485s | put that out of your mind for the time |
| 2487s | being keep it in your mind they didn't |
| 2491s | keep it in your hearts yeah and keep |
| 2493s | talking to us about it yeah it's it's |
| 2495s | something we're very interested in and |
| 2497s | there's just stuff to get to first right |
| 2499s | it's a very large system it's good much |
| 2501s | larger than what ASP yes so multiple |
| 2505s | systems it's gonna be affecting a lot of |
| 2507s | things yeah and I'm very glad we did ASP |
| 2509s | now and not later be great and we'd have |
| 2511s | even more stuff to overhaul yeah yeah |
| 2515s | and and just going through the motions |
| 2518s | is kind of giving us some it's given us |
| 2520s | tech that we're going to be using in the |
| 2521s | future anyway so yeah a lot of these |
| 2523s | these pieces that we're knocking out I |
| 2524s | mean you may not see it on the surface |
| 2526s | but everything that we do kind of leads |
| 2528s | into the next thing so cool yeah I think |
| 2532s | we're ready to take some questions from |
| 2534s | the community but before we start taking |
| 2538s | questions just wanted to mention that we |
| 2540s | did notice that recursion is getting |
| 2542s | flagged by battle I this morning show me |
| 2545s | fix now it should be fixed now so we |
| 2548s | alerted the battle I guys that recursion |
| 2552s | was all of a sudden being flagged they |
| 2554s | they noticed it as well and it should be |
| 2555s | fixed now they had to restart a couple |
| 2557s | services and get the whitelist to load |
| 2559s | correctly yeah so don't need to ask that |
| 2563s | question when is the ARP coming that |
| 2566s | question oh it will be coming to pts |
| 2570s | hopefully by the end of the day we are |
| 2573s | trying to get it done by the end of the |
| 2576s | week yeah it'll be it'll be next week |
| 2579s | okay fine this week everything will be - |
| 2580s | we can yeah it's sort of a system that |
| 2583s | is a little bit higher risk than a lot |
| 2584s | of the other things that we do so we |
| 2586s | need to test it thoroughly it's so far |
| 2589s | so good |
| 2590s | most of the bugs we've seen are pretty |
| 2592s | surface level things but we're making |
| 2595s | sure to test a lot of different |
| 2597s | use cases and characters were gathering |
| 2600s | characters of all difference because it |
| 2603s | turns out it matters whether or not |
| 2605s | you're testing with the character that |
| 2606s | was created before the ASP update or |
| 2609s | after it and so we're paying very close |
| 2611s | attention to that because of course the |
| 2613s | character is created before the ASP |
| 2615s | update are incredibly important to us |
| 2617s | and we've we've taken we put a focus on |
| 2622s | actually giving customer service some |
| 2624s | tools to that's right yeah so one of the |
| 2626s | other things with the prestige stuff is |
| 2629s | like making sure we surface it and the |
| 2631s | logs everywhere so when someone comes to |
| 2633s | them and says oh hey I need you to |
| 2635s | refund me this and give me this many |
| 2637s | certs and stuff they can actually go in |
| 2638s | and look and see what's been going on |
| 2640s | when they when they leveled up when they |
| 2644s | what things they with skills they |
| 2646s | purchased and that sort of thing so |
| 2648s | making sure everything all our eyes are |
| 2651s | dotted and our T's are crossed and that |
| 2653s | sort of thing yeah so there's a question |
| 2659s | anything new in combating targeting so |
| 2661s | redesigning the small system is gonna be |
| 2663s | the one of the biggest efforts that will |
| 2665s | help I create more more balanced fights |
| 2668s | so and that's again that's a focus of |
| 2671s | something we'd like to do is anything |
| 2673s | new coming to ps4 or any of these |
| 2675s | systems yes yes so these systems are all |
| 2680s | going to ps4 right so the only thing |
| 2683s | that that concern not Construction right |
| 2685s | the only thing that's probably on the |
| 2686s | lock step with with PC is construction |
| 2688s | and you have pretty much everything else |
| 2690s | and we we continue to we want to keep it |
| 2695s | that way |
| 2695s | rather not we want you guys in step as |
| 2699s | possible right right yes now we want to |
| 2701s | keep it so you just you never have |
| 2702s | construction well no we are interested |
| 2704s | in bringing construction over there's |
| 2705s | there's a lot of work that needs to be |
| 2707s | done before it gets to that point yeah |
| 2709s | lots of concerns we don't yeah we don't |
| 2710s | want to dumpster the game while trying |
| 2712s | to give you you know we know you want it |
| 2716s | but we we know you want a work in game - |
| 2718s | yeah I did see optimization pop up there |
| 2722s | and it is it's one of our goals this |
| 2725s | year but but the main the main thing is |
| 2728s | we |
| 2729s | as a team are focused more on delivering |
| 2733s | some systems that we feel are gonna |
| 2734s | build engagement the optimization is a |
| 2737s | secondary effort that we're trying to |
| 2738s | spin up on the side that's not directly |
| 2740s | the dev team right so yeah those those |
| 2743s | efforts for the most part lay outside no |
| 2748s | promises yet but yeah it's it's |
| 2750s | something we're constantly pushing for |
| 2752s | yep |
| 2753s | we wanted it as much as you do yes |
| 2757s | probably yeah most likely any changes to |
| 2760s | the alert rewards so with the |
| 2763s | winner-take-all alerts and that'll be |
| 2765s | he'll be more likely to actually win |
| 2768s | those rewards and we'll start there and |
| 2771s | then be able to iterate on it after the |
| 2774s | fact and also when the when the smaller |
| 2777s | alerts there the many alerts events or |
| 2778s | whatever come out that's those will also |
| 2782s | have alerts tied to them as well there |
| 2783s | are rewards attack to them as well and |
| 2786s | yeah so the the reward structure may |
| 2789s | need to to get an overhaul but we're |
| 2790s | still in the process of yeah just laying |
| 2795s | laying all that out Bastion fleet |
| 2798s | carriers my screen real quick you |
| 2805s | probably need to fly there you go okay |
| 2815s | it's done you can't actually enter the |
| 2816s | vehicle I'm sorry that's a tease but so |
| 2820s | Mitchell was working on the the |
| 2822s | collision and Everman rudimentary pass |
| 2825s | has been checked in so you can actually |
| 2827s | like run along and the sort of thing and |
| 2828s | yeah it's looking like a pretty legit so |
| 2832s | it's starting to be usable in game and |
| 2835s | trying to you guys can start imagining a |
| 2838s | time when this becomes below the flight |
| 2840s | ceiling and you can actually start |
| 2843s | interacting with it now you're gonna |
| 2846s | direct goes here it goes here that's one |
| 2849s | of the ways you'll interact it's going |
| 2853s | here - yeah straight in the last |
| 2856s | question is on the Asia server we're |
| 2859s | still trying to get a Asia server spun |
| 2861s | up pretty much almost all the technical |
| 2862s | details of making |
| 2863s | happened or have been worked out and now |
| 2866s | it's just a question of actually making |
| 2869s | it happen but the details of how the |
| 2872s | accounts will make their way on to the |
| 2873s | Asia server we still haven't figured |
| 2876s | that out either |
| 2876s | so yes it's it's it our plans to do that |
| 2880s | have not gone away or progress is being |
| 2883s | made |
| 2883s | yes it's just slow plotting forward |
| 2886s | progress that'll be the last question so |
| 2890s | just wanted to thank everybody for |
| 2893s | coming to the stream today we're super |
| 2895s | excited to show you I'm glad we got to |
| 2897s | tease a little bit of the bash and so |
| 2899s | excited too but there's so much other |
| 2903s | stuff that we're working on that kit |
| 2905s | we're not quite ready to start telling |
| 2906s | you guys about so post asp we are going |
| 2911s | to be doing some really exciting stuff |
| 2912s | exciting but thanks everybody for coming |
| 2915s | to the stream today bye bye |
