| 110s | the items at least for the planetside 1 |

| 136s | ragged I can neither can |
| 137s | ferm nor deny that positive things about |
| 139s | us give you a better chance but well |
| 143s | yeah and last but not least we'll talk |
| 148s | about what's going to be happening after |
| 149s | this update for planetside of the future |
| 154s | game correct so well you want to kick us |
| 157s | off with some of the marksman rifle |
| 159s | stuff sure cool yeah so the margin |
| 161s | rifles they they just had pts as we |
| 164s | mentioned before and these marksman |
| 166s | rifles are they're heavy have you rifles |
| 169s | I keep calling of marksman rifles you |
| 171s | know we they might be so battle rifles |
| 175s | with I'm on the fence about this bar |
| 177s | slim battle rifles and the |
| 179s | semi-automatic scout rifles might get |
| 180s | rolled into a marksman rifle category |
| 182s | and then the automatic scout rifles |
| 184s | might just be called scout rifles and be |
| 187s | a separate category of their own but |
| 188s | that's still still up for debate but I |
| 190s | anyway have you battle rifles we got the |
| 193s | the PSN CTR they're all here on public |
| 196s | test server and they all have little |
| 198s | quirks associated with them like the vs |
| 200s | one has a heat mechanic that he uses by |
| 204s | default it has like six shots or maybe |
| 208s | six shots but you can let it cool down |
| 210s | and a sort of thing and you get also |
| 212s | reloaded by hand actually I think it's |
| 213s | eight shots anyway and there's also |
| 216s | different mechanics within the |
| 219s | attachment options that you have access |
| 221s | to and I could you know I really just |
| 224s | who is even on main yeah well okay I'm |
| 236s | gonna spoil the rest of the thing if I |
| 238s | go into it via the equipment terminal oh |
| 239s | well well if you want to switch it back |
| 243s | over to the other side yeah what are you |
| 244s | switching back over the neck so vs has a |
| 245s | heat mechanic TR is automatic and NC has |
| 250s | piercing piercing and I actually have |
| 253s | the sub-array round st. Lawrence yeah |
| 255s | that allow for you to the normally it |
| 258s | just is able to pierce only one target |
| 260s | but with the attachment the ammo |
| 263s | attachment to have the Sabo by Sebata |
| 266s | got tiger you can pierce a bunch of |
| 270s | targets but it reduces your rate of fire |
| 272s | we play Street Fighter here okay I've |
| 275s | got a bunch of people here I'm gonna |
| 277s | line up a shot like I don't care do it |
| 280s | hold still hold still |
| 282s | stop stop moving oh no no here we go I'm |
| 290s | gonna go body shot I'm not good Hale |
| 293s | hopefully it's working I'll line it up |
| 296s | I'll do it just fine he's fine you a |
| 299s | target |
| 300s | I don't think I have the guy behind it |
| 302s | okay I don't think it's working |
| 304s | no no it's not working we probably |
| 312s | didn't integrate the changeless tab oh |
| 325s | okay well we can try that in in a second |
| 328s | did you want to talk about some of the |
| 329s | other ones no no I mean we're good so |
| 331s | like on pts right now you can yeah if |
| 334s | you want to I don't even know what |
| 339s | people want so untouched devs or what is |
| 343s | it you can't see |
| 351s | that is the problem okay anyway so well |
| 354s | well it's a work in progress but it's |
| 357s | the way it's supposed to work is there |
| 360s | alright so on my screen you have the |
| 363s | other TR marksman rifle and this thing |
| 365s | is it's automatic it's very controllable |
| 367s | I and you can also you can equip an |
| 372s | attachment and it's a barrel attachment |
| 373s | to make it semi-auto if you want and |
| 375s | then I'll actually reduce the the recoil |
| 376s | on it and let's see oh and there's |
| 381s | explosive round on the thing so that's |
| 383s | that's fun yeah Michael deal a little |
| 385s | bit of damage in a small area and yeah |
| 388s | yes has an attachment that when fired |
| 390s | from the hip they can make it just it |
| 393s | takes up half as heat deal as half as |
| 395s | much damage but you can fire it |
| 395s | automatic so yeah it's just like so |
| 398s | instead of a laser sight that's what it |
| 399s | gets sorry yeah some fun gameplay |
| 401s | options like the NC has you know the |
| 403s | sable rounds which increases the |
| 405s | piercing capabilities when it works and |
| 407s | then also I it has like a tungsten |
| 410s | lighter which actually makes the most |
| 412s | powerful battle rifle alright yeah bumps |
| 416s | up the damage model from 334 to 350 and |
| 419s | then within it within a certain range so |
| 422s | yeah there's it's also it's fun just let |
| 425s | us know how you feel about it on the on |
| 426s | the pts and also I think that this is |
| 429s | probably just a federal better direction |
| 431s | for battle rifles to go in general so we |
| 435s | may be retouching some of the the old |
| 438s | battle rifles and giving them a little |
| 440s | little facelift as well well I'm super |
| 442s | bummed out the piercing didn't work yeah |
| 444s | but it does work it works on main you |
| 448s | know so they'll probably be another pts |
| 451s | update later today to get our sing out |
| 453s | to honestly we were we were scrambling |
| 455s | trying to get this pts update yeah and |
| 457s | so it's likely that we've missed |
| 458s | something well go ahead and do a |
| 460s | giveaway now though so ok just type |
| 463s | something to chat to make yourself |
| 464s | eligible for the raffle and just in a |
| 469s | moment or two roxio be running the |
| 471s | raffle and we'll know who won then |
| 473s | so and while that's running did you want |
| 476s | to talk a little bit about though the |
| 478s | alert changes like a late alert changes |
| 481s | way yeah yeah we even changed the word |
| 483s | so the the upcoming so on PTS right now |
| 488s | there is I change to the way that |
| 491s | continents are are locked it can you can |
| 495s | you dump go straight your audio oh yeah |
| 497s | just like yeah so we are just not those |
| 504s | pts update the update before we |
| 505s | implemented some changes to how a |
| 507s | continents flow or how continents lock |
| 510s | and so before on live currently you have |
| 512s | hives you have to wait till they're |
| 513s | picked up with a gordium and then you |
| 516s | you tip the tip the scales with the 41% |
| 518s | territory control and then triggers a |
| 520s | meltdown alert and tada and you get to |
| 522s | fight over the continent |
| 523s | unfortunately Condon's well I don't lock |
| 525s | as often as we would like them to so we |
| 527s | we ended up making some changes while |
| 529s | also ripping out hives in general those |
| 532s | are all gone I wanted to do an ounce the |
| 533s | winner but I'm gonna totally butcher the |
| 535s | name annul Kuras is the winner |
| 538s | annal Harris I think that's pretty clear |
| 541s | mine that's it maybe at the end Oh a new |
| 547s | Icarus that seems so but we've changed |
| 556s | the way that the sequence of locking the |
| 558s | continent works yeah so we still needed |
| 560s | a way to to ensure that continents |
| 562s | stayed open for at least like a minimum |
| 564s | amount of time so we implemented a |
| 565s | system that upon stabilizing the the |
| 569s | work gates your gate Center like a |
| 571s | charging phase so while it's charging we |
| 574s | get to do fun little events that appear |
| 576s | actually there's there's three that |
| 579s | appear currently or three windows for |
| 582s | fur alerts to trigger and then you get |
| 584s | to participate in those it'll give your |
| 586s | rewards the rewards are currently |
| 588s | placeholder on pts but and it gives you |
| 592s | they're like mini alerts so small |
| 594s | bite-sized goals that allow you to when |
| 596s | you log in just be able to work toward |
| 599s | something for that for that session yeah |
| 601s | and these are item rewards or are they |
| 603s | something else these are so I so is |
| 606s | everybody |
| 606s | so for participating and for winning |
| 610s | that sort of thing I still determining |
| 613s | what other rewards might be taking place |
| 616s | like benefits or something oh yeah |
| 619s | so benefits are totally gonna be a thing |
| 621s | at some point the intent was to to kind |
| 624s | of as you move through the continent and |
| 626s | you're you're winning alerts on your way |
| 628s | to to having access to the meltdown |
| 630s | alert which is kind of the final phase |
| 631s | you'd be if you're when the alert your |
| 634s | faction gets a benefit for for the rest |
| 636s | of that contents rotation and that would |
| 639s | be things like probably things similar |
| 641s | to the the current continent benefits |
| 642s | but there'd be kind of localized and |
| 645s | you'd be able to see just like what a |
| 646s | large seer faction it was one you know |
| 648s | over the course of the kind of being |
| 651s | open but anyway yeah so we want to do a |
| 654s | little fun fun events that shape the |
| 656s | gameplay right now there's only the |
| 657s | facility alerts available this is a |
| 659s | throwback to 2015 or something like that |
| 663s | when we used to have facility alerts so |
| 666s | capture all Biolabs capture all tech |
| 668s | plants capture all amp stations that |
| 669s | sort of thing so those triggered they |
| 671s | run for 45 minutes if somebody actually |
| 672s | gets all three then it locks the the it |
| 677s | onesie learned out right and to get |
| 679s | rewarded that's what I think yeah so |
| 681s | session based goals and kind of to shake |
| 683s | up gameplay so we have a lot of fun |
| 684s | things and gives us an opportunity to do |
| 687s | things like create more airspace combat |
| 691s | and that sort of thing yeah did you want |
| 693s | to show anything about that particular |
| 696s | alert yes |
| 697s | so one alert that's not it's not done |
| 701s | yet don't you kick it over to him okay |
| 705s | we're good |
| 707s | so one alert that we that we talked to |
| 711s | like teased on Austria a couple of times |
| 712s | already is having an aerial combat alert |
| 714s | and the intent behind it is to create |
| 717s | spaces which enemies fight over at |
| 720s | different locations throughout the |
| 721s | continent and this let's say if I don't |
| 725s | know to pop up maybe at some point |
| 729s | indicator so right above yeah |
| 733s | placeholder but it's so these little |
| 736s | these little anomalies you can see I'm |
| 738s | lit up right now but these aerial |
| 741s | anomalies are what players will be |
| 743s | fighting over and they do damage to you |
| 746s | actually if I were to take off god mode |
| 747s | I get taken a 100 damage or something |
| 750s | every tech a little bit more than that |
| 751s | but the the more time you spend near |
| 758s | these anomalies the more like a resource |
| 762s | will tick up and then you will if you |
| 765s | get enough you'll you'll win the alert |
| 767s | and so it is to encourage air-to-air |
| 770s | combat it's to create like options for |
| 773s | galaxies like having a galaxy up in the |
| 775s | air with a repair you know to help you |
| 777s | dominate the airspace would be very |
| 779s | valuable and part of the alert is that |
| 782s | it changes how much each of those |
| 786s | airplanes cost you know instead of |
| 788s | pulling it for a certain amount of nano |
| 790s | it's it's either free or it's reduced or |
| 792s | yeah completely free so yeah so Erik air |
| 798s | combat in this while this Lord is |
| 799s | happening |
| 800s | you just get to put one and then go you |
| 802s | know hopefully fly it to the to the |
| 805s | destination and Duke it out in the air |
| 806s | with uh no basically no consequences |
| 809s | right so this is a good thing for new |
| 810s | players where they you know if they're |
| 811s | learning air play they don't don't have |
| 814s | to be disliked just you know taken apart |
| 816s | by by the really skillful pilots you |
| 820s | know just dismantled by themselves and |
| 822s | even if you're not an aerial combatant |
| 824s | you know they need people on the ground |
| 825s | to provide anti-air you know to have |
| 829s | like stations set up where people can |
| 831s | land and get repaired and stuff yeah |
| 833s | yeah all sorts of fun stuff so and not |
| 835s | best intent in general is to just change |
| 837s | the night dynamic for you know that |
| 838s | short window of time and give you a goal |
| 840s | that you can just you know win you know |
| 842s | organize around and do so so like some |
| 845s | of our efforts for making we're |
| 848s | modifying HUD elements which is |
| 849s | difficult yeah yeah so there's there's a |
| 852s | fair amount of work that went into like |
| 855s | working on some of these things you know |
| 857s | we mentioned before that the piercing |
| 859s | mechanics are going in and that was that |
| 861s | was a lot |
| 862s | work yeah garrotted could work on that |
| 864s | yeah he did he really pull out a lot of |
| 867s | a lot of stops for that and we had |
| 869s | iterated it over it a couple different |
| 870s | times but yeah it's it's it's pretty |
| 873s | happy with it yeah for for the alert |
| 876s | stuff we created not only a new alert a |
| 880s | new meltdown type so that when the |
| 884s | meltdown event occurs it's guaranteed to |
| 886s | finish as opposed to just making the the |
| 889s | faction leader or the faction starter |
| 891s | win so that that should keep things a |
| 894s | little bit faster but we also created |
| 896s | this gather resources event that |
| 899s | required a bit more technology because a |
| 902s | lot of that information is stored on the |
| 903s | the continents the the servers that host |
| 906s | the continents and not on the world |
| 907s | which is the one that coordinates |
| 909s | between them and that's what the events |
| 911s | actually run on so trying to figure out |
| 913s | how to get all that information and and |
| 915s | get everything working and up there and |
| 917s | the the HUD and mini-map stuff you know |
| 920s | we haven't really added anything to the |
| 922s | the heads-up display or the mini-map in |
| 925s | quite a while so diving into in doing |
| 929s | archaeology to figure out how that stuff |
| 931s | even works how to add new stuff right |
| 933s | you know that sort of thing it's it's |
| 934s | been interesting but you know a lot of |
| 937s | work yeah yeah oh and I don't think we |
| 939s | segue into that appropriately but but no |
| 942s | Apollo's was talking about basically |
| 944s | just all of the the work you know behind |
| 946s | the scenes yeah what we we the |
| 949s | challenges that we face in trying |
| 950s | yeah overcome and also we're setting |
| 952s | ourselves up for success look yeah |
| 953s | absolutely you know it's it's a lot of |
| 956s | the stuff that was set up before and you |
| 958s | know not all of it but but some of it |
| 961s | set up like just to work for the one |
| 963s | thing but you know if we are able to |
| 965s | build and invest the time to make those |
| 969s | systems more general we can make it |
| 972s | easier to create more stuff in the |
| 973s | future so that that's what some of the |
| 975s | stuff we were working on is you know |
| 977s | creating strengthing or scripting system |
| 979s | strengthening the the event system you |
| 982s | know making it so that we can integrate |
| 984s | with UI more easily that'll that'll let |
| 987s | us create things more quickly in the |
| 989s | future but it takes time investment to |
| 991s | set that up in the first place yeah |
| 993s | yes well how about we do another |
| 997s | giveaway seems like a perfect time cool |
| 999s | it's so same as before type something in |
| 1003s | chat make yourself eligible and we'll |
| 1004s | have a winner for you guys here in a few |
| 1006s | moments yeah there's always that one guy |
| 1007s | who just types something in chat words |
| 1011s | something in chat oh yeah you know yeah |
| 1017s | I mean you know if you guys have ideas |
| 1020s | for what could be some interesting |
| 1022s | events in the future |
| 1023s | feel free to post those on reddit and |
| 1025s | you know we'll take a look and we'll see |
| 1027s | if we can generate some cool stuff from |
| 1029s | it yeah so shall we start talking a |
| 1037s | little bit about the planetside 15 |
| 1040s | anniversary right before that we already |
| 1042s | have a winner |
| 1043s | Oh tjk 1224 or possibly 1224 sounds like |
| 1049s | a stormtrooper yeah 300 is that the |
| 1054s | cosplay army bunch of good news I Bible |
| 1059s | first no the 500 oh yeah yeah |
| 1063s | so let's throw it up on my screen real |
| 1066s | quick here so let's take a look at the |
| 1068s | way that some of the armors in |
| 1070s | planetside 1 look that larger |
| 1071s | inspiration yes oh that we drew heavy |
| 1074s | inspiration heavy in spirit |
| 1076s | so we decided to sort of rebirth some of |
| 1079s | the reinforced EXO armors that existed |
| 1082s | in planetside 1 and we we've had fave |
| 1088s | and create these armors for us and |
| 1089s | steve-o created the helmets we're gonna |
| 1091s | be able to show off some of the armors |
| 1093s | today that the helmets we just didn't we |
| 1095s | were almost there with with getting it |
| 1096s | add to the game to show you guys that |
| 1098s | much yeah it was very close but so this |
| 1101s | is the NC one now they didn't have it |
| 1103s | they didn't have a class system that was |
| 1105s | exactly like planetside 2 it was more |
| 1107s | like uh tribes where you had specific |
| 1109s | armor sets that would kind of dictate |
| 1111s | how have your and how much carry on that |
| 1114s | sort of thing |
| 1114s | so that was the NC one this is the the |
| 1118s | TR one and it has this sort of |
| 1121s | distinctive leather sort of yeah |
| 1127s | from the dacha yeah the good being |
| 1128s | submit for requirement yeah |
| 1130s | and then finally was this vs armor that |
| 1133s | was very cool I think - it's very purple |
| 1138s | and it's got a very very unique design |
| 1141s | now so let's kick it over to Tyrell |
| 1145s | screen and he'll show what how these |
| 1148s | armors turned out do it alright so I so |
| 1152s | again the intent was to be very retro |
| 1155s | classic very very classic we also we had |
| 1159s | to to accommodate you know the |
| 1161s | silhouettes of the heavy nice I say we |
| 1163s | what is faith and faith and did a good |
| 1164s | work he did exactly what we had asked |
| 1166s | him to and he kind of reimagined on all |
| 1169s | these old armor sets I forgot to restart |
| 1170s | my game which is why the texture is a |
| 1173s | little bit blurry but it's fine yeah |
| 1177s | slightly better than this and yeah this |
| 1180s | is close to finished anyways but it's |
| 1182s | not quite there there's some touching up |
| 1184s | that needs to be done yet yeah yeah |
| 1186s | but as you can see it's got the big |
| 1187s | Warhammer 40k pauldron on the side to |
| 1190s | protect from all the daka and just on |
| 1193s | that one side though and let's see what |
| 1196s | else we got over there what are the |
| 1197s | factions exist in this game that's a |
| 1199s | good but I'm not gonna do the vs yes |
| 1200s | safe save that for last because that's |
| 1203s | your favorite that's my turned out it's |
| 1208s | the one that I would I would just wear |
| 1209s | non-stop okay so the and again these are |
| 1213s | all for heavy assault so the N sees |
| 1215s | wreck so very very bulky block II didn't |
| 1224s | see I'm about to transform and roll out |
| 1228s | yes about the NC 1 and then the yeah so |
| 1237s | it looks I think you got the the Super |
| 1239s | Saiyan shoulder and the ps1 I think yeah |
| 1244s | that's pretty sweet |
| 1245s | the vs one I think is probably the most |
| 1248s | act most in line with with just the |
| 1252s | theme nowadays so you could the styles |
| 1256s | have evolved a lot between the two games |
| 1258s | and over time but |
| 1259s | this one definitely seems more most |
| 1262s | similar to what's in plans yes yeah yes |
| 1265s | for where this they were ahead of their |
| 1267s | time yeah yeah did you want to show |
| 1272s | anything else from there so do you well |
| 1275s | he's |
| 1276s | yeah it's setting up the next little |
| 1277s | thing just we haven't come up with |
| 1280s | exactly how we're gonna bundle or sell |
| 1282s | the items for for the event what I can |
| 1285s | tell you is that we're gonna have a |
| 1287s | double xp event that's gonna sort of |
| 1290s | wrap around the entire anniversary that |
| 1293s | anniversary is on May 20th but we're |
| 1295s | starting a double xp event on the 18th |
| 1297s | it's for this is double xp for all and |
| 1299s | it runs through the 22 to the 25th whole |
| 1302s | week for yeah yeah yeah a full week of |
| 1304s | double xp for all and that crosses over |
| 1306s | so the 25th starts a members double xp |
| 1312s | weekend which that's only happened once |
| 1315s | before for the for the Friday on the |
| 1323s | 25th so enjoy that members yeah it's a |
| 1326s | lot more than quadruple XP yeah no it's |
| 1330s | yeah anyway so we have some some other |
| 1335s | fun toys a couple to play with so this |
| 1339s | is a little little thingamajig |
| 1348s | okay so this is a little beacon which |
| 1352s | you can place okay and then it creates I |
| 1358s | love it so much I was so proud of this |
| 1361s | anyway so you just drop the beacon and |
| 1363s | it does it gives you soft cover it |
| 1369s | highlights exactly where you are but so |
| 1372s | in flat aside one the bending was an |
| 1375s | event that took the the planet over axis |
| 1377s | and it it was this catastrophic event |
| 1379s | that just like nuked nuke the entire |
| 1382s | planet and it turned all the continents |
| 1384s | into different okay doors it turned all |
| 1392s | the continents into |
| 1393s | separate planets of their own and during |
| 1396s | that time at least so I was told there |
| 1398s | was meteors that rain down from the sky |
| 1399s | and it was kind of a big ordeal so |
| 1402s | that's what we're kind of you know |
| 1403s | paying homage back to supplying a second |
| 1406s | one and that sort of thing a lot of |
| 1407s | people might remember that seeing the |
| 1409s | meteors tied to the when they sunset in |
| 1412s | planetside right and there's actually an |
| 1414s | interesting story behind that word that |
| 1415s | that wasn't something that they could |
| 1417s | just turn on it was they had to actually |
| 1419s | actively continually reactivate it that |
| 1422s | alert and it was on slowly triggered one |
| 1424s | of the people there was that was doing |
| 1426s | that was Brian Burnett yeah |
| 1429s | planetside 2 streamers yep yeah yeah oh |
| 1434s | wait that's one okay all right so you |
| 1437s | want me to set up the other one or oh |
| 1438s | yeah yeah I have it |
| 1440s | okay pop it over here knock yourself out |
| 1444s | okay so this is something else from |
| 1448s | planetside one yes so we decided to |
| 1451s | revive yet again one of the planetside 1 |
| 1454s | weapons this time that doesn't have an |
| 1458s | analogue really in in planetside 2 or it |
| 1460s | does but to really maintain the sort of |
| 1463s | that cosmetic look of the weapon from |
| 1466s | from planetside 1 yeah okay so let's |
| 1477s | let's equip so this is not only a very |
| 1482s | work in progress but it's all supposed |
| 1483s | to be a kind of a classic classic yeah |
| 1488s | so this is actually it's a cosmetic |
| 1489s | option for your for your NS or for your |
| 1492s | MK V suppressed and it's something that |
| 1494s | Argus animations right now and pressor |
| 1501s | so and it's totally working progress |
| 1504s | actually you should have seen it before |
| 1505s | it before this yeah so this will be one |
| 1517s | of the options that's this coming and |
| 1519s | it's still yeah still has work to be |
| 1521s | done but it so MQB suppressed is a it's |
| 1525s | an SMG but this is |
| 1527s | looks a little bit more like a carbine |
| 1528s | carbine and that's gonna kind of fun fun |
| 1533s | little feature a lot of fun with the |
| 1536s | planetside one-stop oh yeah exactly the |
| 1539s | perfect game as long as you can't see |
| 1545s | your target you're probably hitting up |
| 1548s | and let's go ahead and do another raffle |
| 1550s | sounds great so make yourself eligible |
| 1552s | by typing something in chat and we'll |
| 1554s | have a winner for you guys momentarily |
| 1557s | so with that let's go ahead and well |
| 1561s | will now extend our conversation beyond |
| 1564s | what the next patch is going to be and |
| 1565s | into what what's in the near future for |
| 1567s | planetside and planetside 2 yeah wait |
| 1572s | for a winner first so don't get in a row |
| 1573s | interrupted yeah yeah let's wait gonna |
| 1576s | win so yeah lots of lots of fun |
| 1583s | planetside once yeah do any um any |
| 1585s | questions and chat just a winner and the |
| 1589s | winner this time is killer Andy one two |
| 1592s | three you know that's probably anti |
| 1594s | sites you're not able to win killer Andy |
| 1604s | one two three but it could be you never |
| 1605s | know yeah he could have rigged the whole |
| 1610s | so on this instant action podcast this |
| 1615s | week and I listened to that derringer he |
| 1619s | mentioned the possibility of there being |
| 1621s | dozens of alerts that are going to be |
| 1623s | coming to the game how accurate do you |
| 1626s | think that is dozens is far too easy |
| 1631s | we're gonna go with like hundreds it |
| 1637s | really depends because we can like it |
| 1640s | now that we have text set up in such a |
| 1641s | way that we can kind of we can we can do |
| 1648s | all sorts of fun stuff actually so we we |
| 1651s | went through a mock livestream for an |
| 1654s | hour before the real livestream for an |
| 1656s | hour and I started getting running away |
| 1658s | with my crazy ideas so so what's yours I |
| 1660s | think |
| 1660s | oh I'm putting you on the spot right now |
| 1662s | oh yeah no prob |
| 1663s | well you know you mentioned some one of |
| 1667s | them ones that it was pretty interested |
| 1668s | in so I'll leave that one to you but you |
| 1670s | know something where maybe we double or |
| 1673s | triple the health of all inventory or |
| 1675s | something like that so that people just |
| 1676s | they're able to like punch out tanks or |
| 1678s | something goofy like that can we get |
| 1680s | like power fists in there and just it'll |
| 1688s | be great for infantry make one where |
| 1695s | tanks can just like you know get jet |
| 1697s | packs I would be like that yeah where |
| 1700s | the tanks have c4 let's go so I see so |
| 1716s | we have the aerial anomaly that's that's |
| 1718s | gonna be taking place it's it's not done |
| 1721s | it may not ship with the the next update |
| 1723s | which is gonna have all the alert |
| 1724s | changes in it but then there's another |
| 1727s | one like potentially we can have em you |
| 1732s | do that comes down from the sky and then |
| 1733s | everybody has to fight over just like |
| 1734s | taking accordion from it or maybe maybe |
| 1737s | a harvester comes down from the sky and |
| 1739s | then everybody has to return gordium to |
| 1740s | to that maybe it's an NS like a drop and |
| 1744s | they're trying to maybe refuel one of |
| 1745s | their Bastion flea carriers or something |
| 1746s | like that so everybody's trying to take |
| 1748s | him in and and deliver core diem but |
| 1750s | maybe they're like getting blocked by |
| 1752s | you know people like defending it so |
| 1754s | there would be some strategy there |
| 1755s | that's not the one we came up with so |
| 1760s | the the hassan rally but yeah it was a |
| 1763s | it would be nice to have some sort of |
| 1766s | destruction derby in the game whereas |
| 1768s | just like like a flash or harasser like |
| 1770s | they're just free and they you have to |
| 1771s | go from from point to point around the |
| 1773s | map and just like like death race it out |
| 1777s | just uh you know through other people's |
| 1779s | fights and and whatever else and and |
| 1781s | just yet make it to the end I don't know |
| 1783s | maybe there's a everyone completes the |
| 1786s | full like Luke scores a point for their |
| 1788s | further fact that's good yeah I was |
| 1791s | trying to think of like |
| 1793s | but yeah like a one-and-done or yeah or |
| 1796s | like a keep away sort of like you pick |
| 1798s | up an object no chasing you like a |
| 1800s | rabbit I was cool because like even if |
| 1802s | you're not interested in driving a |
| 1803s | harasser around or whatever you could |
| 1805s | set up like him you could be like Tusken |
| 1807s | Raiders are setting up to like try and |
| 1808s | take them out the main thing we're |
| 1812s | trying to get across here though is that |
| 1813s | we are scripting on the server side has |
| 1815s | become much more robust much very very |
| 1818s | recently it's gonna allow for us to do |
| 1821s | stuff like this it's sort of exciting to |
| 1822s | us so if you guys have ideas for stuff |
| 1825s | like we mentioned before throw it up up |
| 1826s | with Loretta we're gonna be very sort of |
| 1828s | entertained I think see how many of |
| 1834s | those we can make it reality |
| 1835s | yeah for sure and so with that out of |
| 1838s | the way one of our biggest goals this |
| 1840s | year was to improve the new player |
| 1842s | experience and we've allowed things to |
| 1844s | slip a little bit we got distracted by |
| 1846s | some some other side goals that have |
| 1848s | appeared we're refocusing sometimes |
| 1850s | thing other things take priority you |
| 1852s | know we've been firefighting for a |
| 1854s | couple weeks now you know the the way |
| 1857s | that the experience system with asp went |
| 1860s | out it's like you know it's a really |
| 1862s | fundamental system so they were bound to |
| 1864s | be stuff that came up and so we've been |
| 1866s | tracking that down fixing those issues |
| 1868s | making sure anyone who's affected by it |
| 1870s | is you know their stuff is fixed and |
| 1872s | compensated and all that sort of thing |
| 1874s | all right |
| 1874s | and sometimes this I mean quite often |
| 1877s | these situations will appear and it's |
| 1879s | not necessarily the same wall every time |
| 1880s | it's just like things happen and yeah |
| 1882s | there's a lot of work that goes on |
| 1884s | behind the scenes to correct it and the |
| 1886s | community is not going to see that |
| 1888s | because we tried you know very hard to |
| 1889s | to just correct it and and keep the game |
| 1892s | running smoothly but that that does take |
| 1895s | up a fair amount of our time so we are |
| 1897s | you know not not kicking out updates I |
| 1900s | feel as fast as we we don't either or |
| 1903s | any of us would like but I yeah I can't |
| 1909s | sacrifice it interested on improving new |
| 1912s | player experience and creating new tools |
| 1915s | for the the server players to learn how |
| 1918s | to play the game to get engaged with it |
| 1920s | you know we the the online community |
| 1923s | with Reddit and local players and |
| 1926s | YouTube and everything it's it's great |
| 1928s | for giving people information but we |
| 1930s | want to want to put something in game |
| 1932s | and like make that transition even |
| 1934s | smooth it for players right I think one |
| 1936s | of the intents was to create I so |
| 1938s | modules really so to do tutorials that |
| 1941s | are kind of you know bite-sized chunks |
| 1943s | that players can you know dig into and |
| 1946s | just learn a very specific facet of the |
| 1948s | game |
| 1948s | and then one larger more general |
| 1951s | tutorial would really be ideal now that |
| 1953s | kind of hits on all the points that does |
| 1954s | so in in such a way that our current |
| 1956s | tutorial does not so that would be |
| 1959s | that'd be nice I I think we're at the |
| 1960s | point though where we need to kind of |
| 1962s | investigate some AI tech a little bit so |
| 1965s | that we can have you know NPCs that |
| 1966s | didn't move a little bit or like you |
| 1969s | know point to other things and that's |
| 1970s | what I thought she just created this |
| 1973s | would be this would be purely for new |
| 1974s | player tutorials where you're occupying |
| 1976s | these spaces by your something to sort |
| 1979s | of hone their skills from 0 to a little |
| 1982s | bit further before they dive in and yeah |
| 1986s | but that's not all were we're planning |
| 1989s | to do as far as new player experience |
| 1991s | goes the mentor squads is something |
| 1993s | that's gonna be coming up next |
| 1995s | very likely next and then we're |
| 1999s | revisiting squads as a whole and kind of |
| 2002s | reshaping how that that organizational |
| 2004s | structure works taking a second look at |
| 2005s | it enter a ting on you know ways to |
| 2008s | enable players to play with their |
| 2010s | friends play together more as a |
| 2011s | community if you want to detail some of |
| 2014s | the mentor stuff a little bit more yeah |
| 2016s | so the the mentor so platoons in this |
| 2021s | game and squads in this game have a they |
| 2023s | have a lot of markers and a lot of you |
| 2026s | know orders from for people who are |
| 2027s | yelling or having side conversations or |
| 2029s | going to different maps and just there's |
| 2031s | a lot of chaos going on so the mentor |
| 2033s | squads is a way to kind of condense |
| 2039s | maybe these are bad words the experience |
| 2043s | yeah so that simple thank you simplify |
| 2047s | stream streamline that experience for |
| 2050s | for new players so it's more of like an |
| 2051s | introductory squad for them and also I |
| 2054s | so you'd have mentors of players who are |
| 2057s | opening a mentor squad they can't turn |
| 2058s | it to a platoon they can't |
| 2059s | they don't have access to all of the |
| 2061s | fancy markers and they also like you |
| 2065s | aren't rewarded a lot of like anything |
| 2068s | too tangible either because we want the |
| 2069s | players who are interested in mentoring |
| 2072s | other players to have sort of altruistic |
| 2074s | goals because the community our |
| 2076s | community is great they every time a new |
| 2079s | player goes into reddit or whatever and |
| 2080s | says you know how do I get better at the |
| 2081s | game or I just got in this game I don't |
| 2083s | understand some things yeah yeah our |
| 2086s | players will jump in and they'll say |
| 2087s | okay this is you know kind of the |
| 2088s | breakdown of what you can do and what |
| 2090s | you should be doing and that sort of |
| 2091s | thing and yeah so in order to to create |
| 2094s | a good I you know especially like a |
| 2097s | first session you know for players like |
| 2099s | we need to jump in and kind of push them |
| 2101s | toward the mentor squads and have |
| 2102s | somebody who actually has their back and |
| 2103s | it has their best interests in mind so |
| 2105s | that's our intent with that the mentors |
| 2106s | constant get them playing with a group |
| 2108s | get their mentors like giving them more |
| 2111s | information answering questions and you |
| 2114s | know getting them to the right fights |
| 2115s | and that sort of thing |
| 2116s | yeah for sure mm-hmm so that's mentor |
| 2119s | squads but there's just improvements to |
| 2121s | squads in general yeah we're gonna be |
| 2123s | working on about the same time yeah |
| 2124s | absolutely yeah a lot of that that work |
| 2128s | is it's pretty close to being done |
| 2129s | actually so there's there's some UI |
| 2131s | involved in and then there's some bells |
| 2134s | and whistles tried to throw on actually |
| 2136s | know what see this works is this a thing |
| 2148s | so working on right now just like |
| 2150s | prototyping some of the squat and the |
| 2153s | the request-based |
| 2154s | like missions so the intent would be to |
| 2158s | allow a platoon leader or something like |
| 2160s | that to call in you know like I need |
| 2162s | armor support here at this location and |
| 2164s | then there will be like a quest |
| 2166s | I guess essentially to to go there for |
| 2168s | the people who are in vehicles and they |
| 2170s | go there and they can destroy it like |
| 2172s | specific types of targets so if it's an |
| 2174s | armored support it's probably to have |
| 2175s | armor I deal with other armor or if it's |
| 2177s | a air-to-ground support and maybe it's |
| 2178s | you know air just ground targets and |
| 2181s | that sort of thing maybe we do it like a |
| 2184s | protective VIP sort of mission based |
| 2186s | system just adding power to two squads |
| 2191s | is something that we would like to do |
| 2193s | and again |
| 2193s | this is just it's complete protein I |
| 2195s | think right now nothing actually works |
| 2197s | and a part of the the map indicators and |
| 2200s | our problem that we're solving right now |
| 2201s | map indicators how the indicators that's |
| 2204s | the best tech this don't needs to be |
| 2205s | developed or fleshed out a little bit |
| 2207s | more yeah so it's stuff like that it's |
| 2211s | really enabling players to giving them |
| 2213s | tools to coordinate better giving them |
| 2216s | you know ways to play with their friends |
| 2218s | more and yeah it's not just for them |
| 2220s | though it's for for all these |
| 2221s | surrounding players those players who |
| 2223s | aren't squatted like we want to add to |
| 2225s | give them direction between groups for |
| 2226s | sure yeah I what else what do we got all |
| 2232s | we had on the agenda for today yeah did |
| 2235s | we have any questions from the audience |
| 2237s | that were collected any any good any |
| 2241s | good ones any decent questions yeah feel |
| 2245s | free |
| 2247s | so from what I understand Drew has been |
| 2252s | working on learning how to be a force |
| 2255s | commander for possibly one of the |
| 2256s | upcoming events yeah I haven't asked him |
| 2258s | how that's going |
| 2259s | he's pretty good at team-based game yeah |
| 2263s | yeah I'd be I hope he gets all the |
| 2266s | education he needs because that is a |
| 2267s | grueling task oh yeah to control like |
| 2270s | numerous players but the players will |
| 2271s | totally help them out anyway |
| 2272s | so it should be really I mean you know |
| 2275s | even in Mo's and stuff getting like a 40 |
| 2278s | man raid together so that's a lot of |
| 2280s | people to coordinate so imagine doing |
| 2282s | that in the first-person shooter where |
| 2284s | things are even louder and crazier I |
| 2286s | just hope that you know if he's a force |
| 2288s | commander he gets a power sword just |
| 2290s | like okay I can dang it |
| 2292s | so I got a couple pretty good questions |
| 2293s | one of them is are there any plans for |
| 2296s | implants are changing how they're earned |
| 2298s | and I think I completely missed this |
| 2300s | yeah you said something about this on |
| 2302s | reddit yeah okay so I yes yes this is a |
| 2306s | good question was it like did we |
| 2308s | softball that because this is something |
| 2311s | we totally wanted to talk about we |
| 2312s | completely forgot yeah so I yeah so the |
| 2316s | implant system is these are your new |
| 2320s | implants here enjoy that but we want to |
| 2323s | make them purchase a bowl without so for |
| 2326s | so |
| 2327s | maybe not all the implants with |
| 2328s | certainly some of the implants we're |
| 2329s | still determining what the prices will |
| 2331s | be and and how or which implants are |
| 2335s | gonna be purchasable and even like how |
| 2337s | to purchase those like for example and |
| 2339s | I'm just kind of spitballing right now |
| 2341s | you could if we wanted to give you the |
| 2343s | opportunity to to buy exceptional |
| 2346s | implants potentially we can use like |
| 2348s | have an alert reward that's just really |
| 2350s | rare and less like a catalyst that you |
| 2352s | need alongside the ISO four and then you |
| 2354s | know combine that you get your |
| 2355s | exceptional and the intent is to to |
| 2357s | reduce the oranjee for players who have |
| 2359s | already invested into the system and by |
| 2362s | invested I'm talking about you know had |
| 2363s | already yeah so I would say even some |
| 2372s | that they've been spending certs and |
| 2373s | just not getting what they want so that |
| 2375s | they do have a lot of I so far left or |
| 2376s | they've been participating in the alert |
| 2377s | system a whole lot and having a lot I so |
| 2379s | far from that we want them to be able to |
| 2382s | have some something to kind of spend |
| 2383s | into again to reiterate we haven't |
| 2386s | really finalized any of this these are |
| 2387s | we want a method to make this happen but |
| 2392s | we haven't finalized any of our thoughts |
| 2394s | on it yet yeah I think we'll definitely |
| 2396s | be doing the purchasing of the lower |
| 2398s | tier implants with the ISO relatively |
| 2401s | quickly yeah it's it's these other |
| 2403s | things that require crafting and and |
| 2405s | other sort of activities to get the |
| 2407s | exceptional is that is gonna take us a |
| 2409s | little bit longer to get done yeah for |
| 2410s | sure yeah what else we got the next one |
| 2412s | is do we have plans for the ASP respect |
| 2415s | or more perks so how soon are we gonna |
| 2417s | be revisiting the ASP systems um you |
| 2420s | know the I think the intent was to kind |
| 2422s | of fill out that system run its course |
| 2424s | for a while and then when we do and I |
| 2428s | know I'm not answering your question |
| 2429s | specifically but when we do end up |
| 2431s | adding more perks we will certainly add |
| 2434s | a respek at the same time just so that |
| 2436s | people don't feel you know cheated I |
| 2438s | that they had spent their points instead |
| 2440s | of saved them and that sort of thing so |
| 2442s | I so that'll that'll definitely take |
| 2444s | place but as far as new perks still |
| 2449s | still up in the air I think I think what |
| 2452s | we should probably look to do is just |
| 2454s | kind of invest in and fleshing out the |
| 2456s | classes a little bit more in like so |
| 2458s | that you can share less serve |
| 2459s | versions of those those items because |
| 2461s | the intent was never to to add power |
| 2464s | through this system it's it's more to |
| 2466s | add either versatility or just different |
| 2470s | place to options you know for players so |
| 2471s | that's why you have the funny ones where |
| 2472s | it's like you know a smoker dance for |
| 2475s | everybody quicker dates for everybody |
| 2476s | it's like if you like doing that that's |
| 2478s | fine yeah do it and there's there's some |
| 2481s | points of contention like oh yeah |
| 2482s | jackhammers or a straight upgrade which |
| 2483s | I don't feel is necessarily true but um |
| 2485s | it's certainly different it's certainly |
| 2488s | fun so yeah we're just so that's I think |
| 2492s | that's the most difficult part is |
| 2494s | creating side grades so there's a more |
| 2497s | Doku weapons coming after this yes |
| 2499s | definitely yeah still undecided on |
| 2501s | whether it should be carbines or assault |
| 2503s | rifles Oh for the next round yeah yeah I |
| 2506s | think we did it I think the very last |
| 2508s | weapon from the NSX series was that the |
| 2511s | Yumi sorry Fleur was it before no and I |
| 2521s | think we should intentionally do |
| 2522s | something that's a little bit different |
| 2523s | just to kind of shake it up okay |
| 2525s | but okay what else we got how about that |
| 2527s | bashed in fleet carrier how about it |
| 2529s | next question outfit progression sorry |
| 2535s | passionate fleet carrier is like we we |
| 2538s | haven't done much to it at all I have |
| 2541s | plans to use it at some point and with |
| 2543s | the new event system you know maybe |
| 2544s | let's actually you know what let me back |
| 2546s | up a little bit so the event system in |
| 2548s | the long run you know outside of just |
| 2549s | the fun like events that we were |
| 2550s | creating for you I I would personally |
| 2553s | like this as a desire like for the the |
| 2557s | players to have some agency over that |
| 2558s | system as well so like during that that |
| 2560s | kind of charging period you know what if |
| 2562s | the players got to summon like or one |
| 2564s | outfit so I'm gonna Bastion free |
| 2565s | carriers like suddenly that's the alert |
| 2566s | now you know that you participate in is |
| 2568s | you know taking that out so it's adding |
| 2570s | the sort of agency would be like a |
| 2572s | long-term goal it's a pretty decent |
| 2573s | chance that the bastion will first be |
| 2575s | appearing in some form of alert yeah |
| 2577s | first it will find other ways of getting |
| 2580s | into the game after that but that'll be |
| 2582s | the first way that you guys are gonna be |
| 2583s | seeing it but for now it'll just bombard |
| 2585s | you from with our roll strikes you're |
| 2587s | afraid |
| 2588s | yeah last question outfit progression |
| 2591s | how's the progression that's not a |
| 2592s | question that's a comment how about that |
| 2595s | well how soon fine fine I don't like |
| 2597s | those questions okay so the progression |
| 2599s | will take take place toward the the end |
| 2601s | of the year ideally because it's it's a |
| 2607s | very in-depth system and the the efforts |
| 2610s | that we made through ASP kind of shed |
| 2612s | some light on how some of those some of |
| 2617s | that architecture is so like you would |
| 2622s | talked about the loving system being a |
| 2624s | whole whole different can of worms I'll |
| 2626s | just spawn system everything you know |
| 2630s | it's you know I've been on the project |
| 2632s | for like two years now and there's just |
| 2634s | still tons of systems I haven't touched |
| 2636s | and they're you know people who worked |
| 2638s | on them working on other projects or at |
| 2640s | other companies or whatever so a lot of |
| 2643s | working on a live game is not |
| 2648s | agriculture architecture not |
| 2650s | architecture the thing Indiana Jones |
| 2653s | does what archaeology archaeologists |
| 2657s | think I don't know why I can't remember |
| 2658s | that word a lot of what working on a |
| 2660s | live game is is archaeology where you're |
| 2662s | digging into like the system you're |
| 2664s | digging into like code from eons pass |
| 2667s | trying to figure out how it works now |
| 2670s | did it ever work what was the entire |
| 2672s | point of it can we use this stuff or |
| 2674s | should we just scrap it and make |
| 2675s | something new so without Fitz there'd be |
| 2678s | a bunch of work for that so it amended |
| 2679s | spelunking spelunking if you haven't |
| 2683s | played spelunky that game is really fun |
| 2688s | everyone already knows about this you |
| 2689s | talked about c4 balance what we're |
| 2691s | planning on doing yeah so c4 is getting |
| 2693s | a man I don't want to say no if it's |
| 2697s | getting a nerf just in the delivery of |
| 2699s | it or rather the nation of it that's |
| 2701s | weak I and that's that's kind of gonna |
| 2705s | be where we let it go for at least a |
| 2708s | little bit and then we'll see how it |
| 2709s | performs I'm not sort of thing but Doku |
| 2712s | teased a new detonator model that he |
| 2714s | just made it's like I don't like how |
| 2718s | this looks in the game it's gonna fix it |
| 2719s | else but I really like that about duck |
| 2721s | here |
| 2721s | but we are gonna put that in the game |
| 2724s | yes totally I wish we had a screen shot |
| 2727s | sure because it's stellar but but yeah |
| 2729s | the sorta like anime thing and we would |
| 2731s | ideally like to to have an animation for |
| 2734s | where you flick it up and then and hit |
| 2735s | it down because right now there's a 0.4 |
| 2738s | second delay or it sounds like a charged |
| 2740s | up time and they change its being right |
| 2743s | right yep so instead of hitting it |
| 2745s | instantly you'll have to hold down the |
| 2746s | trigger so you'll you'll see your |
| 2748s | character you know put it up and then |
| 2749s | hit it that would be the intent at least |
| 2752s | yeah I may not go live like that but we |
| 2753s | certainly want to do the animation work |
| 2754s | for it yep cool all right so thank you |
| 2758s | everyone for coming to the stream today |
| 2759s | we hope you're excited about the stuff |
| 2761s | that we've shown you and that I just |
