690s	we got contacts we got glasses
693s	all right this stream as we said is all
695s	about braillebreaker we're going to be
696s	deep diving into that we have the
698s	styanax full anime reveal but before we
701s	jump into all that like i said we are
702s	going to rerun the diviri amphitheater
704s	experience momentarily make sure you're
707s	in game rebs in game she's ready to go
710s	ready rem i am ready all right dean you
711s	can go to game play if you so wish
714s	we're in the
715s	relay and you're about to be
717s	teleported
720s	oh the theater has begun yeah so if you
722s	were called tennocon um we wanted to
724s	give the duveri and all the weirdness
726s	coming with it which you know greg and
728s	carrie and myself and paul worked on um
730s	as much as a uh impression as possible
732s	so this theater show
734s	is for those who you know due to
736s	technical difficulties at tennocon with
738s	you know servers and amongst other
740s	things we wanted to give it another go
741s	so if you're in game we can just kick it
743s	off all right here we go
746s	he's about to have his intro
748s	welcome one and all
750s	vagabonds and waste rules nobles and
753s	nobodies tattered amelians tramps and
756s	troubadours
758s	welcome to a display without equal among
762s	the trillion wonders of the ever giving
766s	void
767s	but first
769s	a salutation to him by whose will we are
773s	gathered here
775s	the brightest of stars in the firmament
777s	our magnificent majesty by whose very
781s	whim we exist our most modest and serene
785s	sovereign dominus
789s	[Applause]
795s	we will go to the next tableau and i
797s	think our approach with these was to
799s	give our very wild characters the scene
802s	to sort of explain what was happening in
804s	the demo as we were doing it so
806s	you would have been writing besides
807s	something specific
812s	flawed mortal flesh and blood
815s	they are legends given fall a pure ideal
820s	smithed into shape by our king's will
824s	i advise you
826s	not to cross them
831s	and indeed we fought some dax at
834s	tennocon we first showed these in the
835s	2019 trailer and now they're back and
837s	there's actually you know when do very
838s	launches which will be a conversation
840s	for a future dev stream there's much
842s	more up our sleeve with the decks
844s	it's getting there
846s	here
847s	your eyes are treated to what your ears
851s	have already feasted upon
854s	behold
855s	lucinia
857s	whose voice blesses all interfering
861s	through her song
863s	the king sleeps soundly and deep
868s	untroubled i fell dreams
873s	and then of course we had our opera
875s	singer lucidia as we called her who you
878s	know you had to come up with a way that
880s	a duvery opera singer would look
882s	absolutely bright red dress of course
885s	can never get to trouble when you have
886s	giant pieces of cloth coming off your
887s	wrist
888s	there's no technical problems with cloth
890s	ever
891s	ever the cave of daviri
894s	a memory clad in a steel dream
897s	swifter than both shots more loyal than
900s	a steadfast soldier's heart
902s	run through noble cave
906s	and you know when you can't have arc
908s	wings perhaps we must have our beautiful
910s	horses which were also a 2019 trailer
913s	tees but now you got to see them in
915s	their full glory at tennocon which
917s	included
918s	they really are a bonkers design and a
920s	fun thing to rip off of as well
921s	absolutely
926s	a veteran veiled in scars and sorrows
930s	i cannot tell you how long he has
932s	dwelled with us
934s	i only know that something has compelled
937s	him
938s	to watch and wait
943s	you know what would a tennocon be
944s	without a weird
946s	pants for hamps perhaps
949s	i'm more nervous than this
950s	perhaps perhaps
961s	meets one of our primordial enigmas
964s	one of the titanic entities that coil
967s	around our world at its very roots
971s	behold the auraworm loader
980s	you know
981s	biggest character we've ever put in
983s	that's kind of going through my mind
984s	right now actually yeah it can go wrong
986s	what could be
987s	largest model in the history of our
990s	assets well i mean we've done buildings
992s	that are kind of in there but i mean we
993s	haven't had to move and coil around and
995s	you know be a dragon
997s	well it's actually kind of refreshing to
998s	see these assets because this is a blend
1000s	of assets from years ago and some more
1003s	recent assets so it's really
1005s	rewarding to see the very actually come
1007s	to life finally so
1008s	yeah getting it all in the amphitheater
1010s	and you know if you didn't catch
1011s	tennocon and everything we showed you
1013s	can check out the gameplay from our uh
1015s	youtube channel it's all archived there
1017s	with what the duvet paradox intro is
1018s	going to be
1019s	that
1020s	this was our rerun of the theater
1035s	and thus concludes the theater rerun
1037s	where you got to see all the all the
1039s	assets in game hopefully everything was
1040s	going well on your end and if not you
1042s	can catch it on stream
1047s	all right dunzo alfonzo dunzo funzo all
1050s	right what next meg what next wouldn't
1053s	that be exciting to say that we have the
1056s	full steinex anime like i said this
1058s	whole dev stream is very focused on vail
1061s	burger you're going to get first look at
1063s	a lot of the stuff we've been working on
1064s	for bail breaker because i think the
1065s	only thing we've ever shown is that
1067s	teaser at tennocon yeah yeah a tiny
1069s	little trailer and a tiny little trailer
1072s	yeah two tiny little trailers and you're
1074s	about to see a much longer yeah so i
1076s	think just things to keep in mind is
1078s	people probably didn't expect something
1079s	like veilbreaker at tennocon uh it's
1081s	going to be the update that brings you
1082s	our 50th warframe styanax and like megan
1085s	said this update is going to be the
1088s	focus for the rest of the stream from
1089s	new content to revised content and it's
1092s	going to be a bit long so get comfy but
1094s	perhaps the appetite for our 50th
1096s	warframe which i think for all of us is
1099s	kind of crazy megan's going to eat stein
1101s	axe before we show you him but get cozy
1103s	this is what five but roughly five
1105s	minute if you're an anime nerd like
1107s	myself sit back relax get comfy get a
1110s	snack because here is no don't go
1112s	anywhere don't go anywhere
1115s	imaginary snack uh enjoy this guy next
1118s	anime
1123s	he saved us
1125s	me and my brother
1127s	orphans of war
1130s	brought us to this paradise
1132s	to join the others
1136s	until we came of age
1139s	until he
1140s	summoned us
1144s	he called it
1146s	ascension day
1153s	five years ago daryl went to him
1158s	[Applause]
1160s	now
1162s	it's my time
1171s	my dear child
1174s	your ascension is at hand
1183s	fearless
1184s	all the chosen before you have played
1186s	their part in my vision
1192s	i have something beautiful to show you
1196s	liar where's my brother
1201s	clever aria that fire that singular
1204s	determination
1206s	mine to wield
1208s	behold leviathan
1211s	[Applause]
1213s	your brother is here somewhere like all
1215s	the other chosen
1217s	you alone will be its driving force
1228s	get
1229s	in
1232s	i'm not alone
1243s	[Applause]
1247s	it's over
1249s	a warframe
1251s	a relic
1253s	i will have to show you the future
1256s	myself
1262s	ugh
1280s	to think i almost wasted
1284s	this gift
1302s	daryl
1318s	wow
1347s	oh
1351s	[Applause]
1356s	[Music]
1369s	goodbye darryl
1385s	[Music]
1395s	we'll keep you close tenno
1405s	[Music]
1424s	oh boy
1426s	hope you enjoyed that we worked with
1429s	passion paris
1431s	uh to make that anime and it turned out
1434s	incredible
1435s	like it's so wildly different from
1437s	anything that we've ever really done in
1439s	terms of making an anime um and we also
1442s	have actually a limited time code for a
1445s	styanx display to celebrate this
1448s	incredible anime if you do the word
1450s	styanax on all platforms promo code or
1453s	in-game in the market you can get
1454s	yourself a display commissioned by the
1456s	incredible crew so thank you crew for
1458s	working with us on a steinax uh display
1461s	48 hours don't miss it you can get
1463s	yourself a display right now on the
1464s	public build so i want to explain a
1466s	little bit about steinach
1468s	he is our 50th warframe this is the 50th
1471s	unique warframe we've made and i think
1472s	we have a piece of art yeah so
1474s	as you can see excalibur being the
1476s	original swordsman and now steinax the
1478s	you know i don't even know how to the
1481s	we're calling hoplite internally for a
1482s	long time but he's that spear and shield
1484s	fellow
1490s	and we're treating his release a little
1491s	differently so what we're going to do is
1494s	for the launch of veil breaker if you
1496s	log in to the first two weeks of the
1498s	update so it's going to come out in
1499s	september you'll know the date and from
1501s	that date when we announce it you can
1503s	get hoplite
1504s	cyanx
1505s	after you can start cyanx completely
1508s	free
1509s	just for logging in after that point
1511s	he'll be in the usual spots in the
1513s	market for platinum or where you
1514s	actually earn him in game which we'll
1515s	talk about later but if you just want
1518s	instant access to our 50th warframe he
1520s	will be yours uh for free just for
1522s	logging in for that uh two-week period
1524s	after we launch failbreaker because this
1526s	is very much an occasion worth
1527s	celebrating it's a celebration of the
1529s	fifty thousand
1531s	french i know so that's how that's gonna
1533s	work so if you want to get your hands on
1535s	him without having to use platinum or go
1537s	through the um the steps to earn him for
1539s	free you can well earn him easier for
1542s	free free free the freer the free path
1545s	yes the free path for your others free
1547s	free to play and super free
1549s	incredible value
1551s	one of those like little free and super
1554s	free so now even for you
1557s	service we really need to always be
1558s	pushing the terminology forward so
1561s	there's free free and now there's 25
1563s	percent more free yeah yeah
1565s	every time yes
1567s	and uh actually speaking of styanx now
1569s	is actually a good time to hop over to
1571s	actually we have some assets too we have
1573s	tons to show first time we have stunts
1574s	do you want to do gameplay first and
1575s	then well
1577s	i just wanted to give a bit more of the
1579s	anime context but we have a whole bunch
1581s	of assets as well from concept to the
1583s	modeling work that greg did um but just
1586s	as a you know what let's do all that
1587s	first and then we'll come to that first
1588s	okay so first we're going to show the
1590s	original concept this is by keith
1593s	thompson from way back in the day
1596s	there's hoplite like you said the
1597s	internal name hotplate i want you see
1599s	that you know where i got it from don't
1600s	blame me
1602s	and you actually started working on that
1605s	you know i i just i actually looked back
1607s	at at the the earliest iteration of my
1611s	my uh original authored files and i
1614s	think it was dated to november of last
1616s	year right and obviously a lot of things
1618s	happen in between so this is how far
1620s	back at least on my end and i bet that
1622s	concept existed even before probably a
1624s	date on it to be honest
1628s	okay so yeah so i think the the early
1630s	explorations were as far as you know
1633s	pre-christmas time of last year and i
1634s	think
1635s	you know we had a few other releases in
1637s	between and 10 o'clock obviously and i
1638s	think
1639s	actually it's funny i did not know that
1641s	this was the 50th warframe until it was
1644s	you know up until a few maybe a few
1645s	months ago so i think that really ramped
1647s	up the pressure back then yeah yeah if
1649s	people don't like this it's your fault
1650s	greg yes
1652s	it's free
1655s	but it is free so you can't complain
1657s	right that's the rules that's right yeah
1659s	what's interesting oh sorry no it's
1661s	going to say xmas points dynax isn't
1662s	going to get you anything in chat by the
1664s	way
1665s	it's hot actually
1670s	um no it's not going to get everything
1672s	in chat it's in-game or warframe.com
1674s	promo code nothing in chat ain't going
1676s	to get you nothing what are we going to
1678s	say pablo uh this one was interesting
1680s	because it was a 50s we wanted to do the
1682s	the animation so
1684s	we needed to get it
1686s	at least know what he was like way
1688s	before
1689s	usual because they needed to do the
1691s	animation and not be too and the
1693s	animation is not like super super tight
1695s	with exactly how the powers work but you
1697s	need to be on the ballpark so uh this
1700s	one has been around for a long time uh
1702s	because
1703s	baseball batteries yeah yeah yeah we
1705s	switched him from greek inspired some
1707s	baseball
1708s	very very
1710s	it's really the case of art imitating
1712s	art i think in a way because i think
1714s	that the anime came out
1715s	in the middle of us still finalizing the
1718s	the model and everything so it was a bit
1720s	of what would you call it parallel
1722s	developing rather than series where you
1723s	know multiple things are progressing at
1725s	the same time and one influences the
1727s	other but uh but also this this um
1729s	animation is fantastic it's it again
1731s	it's
1732s	that's a weird thing to see
1735s	you know
1736s	like one medium affect the other yeah
1738s	and also yeah it's it's kind of
1740s	being in a walled garden of just working
1742s	on you know all the character art stuff
1744s	it's kind of refreshing to be able to
1745s	come out of it and see all of this other
1747s	really awesome stuff
1748s	um get to feel like a fan a little bit
1750s	as well so yeah yeah the only problem
1752s	with the animation is now i want more
1753s	yeah
1755s	moving on
1756s	because that's not gonna happen
1758s	speaking of modeling we have a couple
1760s	more images um from the helmets dynax
1762s	has helmet alt helmet that i believe you
1764s	worked on this is the first one yeah
1766s	actually um i have to give credit to um
1770s	other members of our team
1772s	um
1773s	all the alternate helmets were made not
1775s	by me i think this one was rough then
1777s	but we had another really talented
1778s	artist on our team take over um
1781s	i don't know can we can we reveal that
1783s	there's more yeah i'll show them in-game
1785s	okay yeah
1786s	there's a there's a few there's a few
1787s	helmets actually and uh um yeah we might
1790s	have a few uh renderings of those yeah
1794s	um
1795s	yeah hell yeah so we had to kind of
1797s	explore the theme this this
1800s	this hoplite this this uh
1802s	greek
1803s	um sort of uh infantryman spearman so we
1807s	we have better names
1809s	yeah so we had to really dig deep and
1811s	figure out you know what those alternate
1813s	helmet looks what alternate helmets look
1815s	like
1816s	and so i think um yeah i think they did
1818s	a great job on those
1821s	and we have another image that is a nice
1824s	360 every angle you could possibly ever
1826s	need um of stein x and his uh
1830s	that's right so in another case of i
1832s	think working in parallel where where we
1834s	had the concept and illustration team
1836s	having to start get started on the press
1839s	cards or the press card oh
1841s	is that oh i'm sorry did i show it
1843s	don't worry okay
1847s	that's something that working in
1848s	parallel with the concept team um you
1851s	know
1852s	in between the concept the original
1853s	concept and of course my model we had to
1855s	make sure that we kind of coordinate and
1858s	you know that that those 360
1861s	you know views are part of the process
1863s	to get to get something to the concept
1864s	team so they can work from that as well
1866s	so mm-hmm and uh
1868s	yeah can i call it eric i really did a
1869s	great job on that yeah
1871s	he's a little stranger he's gonna love
1872s	him yeah people might recognize carrie
1874s	from the art panel this year as well
1876s	with uh with eric yeah yeah all right so
1879s	i think it's gameplay time right sure
1882s	come on over uh we incredible oh this is
1885s	the perfect timing
1888s	i have never i did not see this item
1890s	before today
1905s	i can so so steinax and game pablo and
1908s	the team have put the kit together which
1910s	we're going to get to but i'm just going
1911s	to do a little bit of preamble before we
1912s	do that uh he is going to be launching
1914s	with a void shell skin so uh you know
1917s	everyone that gets their hands on
1918s	styanax there's going to be avoid shell
1919s	skin launching with him as well and he's
1921s	going to have i just need him to do that
1922s	idle innovation again so i'm just slowly
1924s	waiting i'm just going to fill the air
1925s	time until he looks uh stretch
1928s	but he's also going to have a liverian
1930s	so because we did the anime as you can
1933s	imagine the liverian and the anime are
1935s	very closely linked with maybe one or
1936s	two more pieces of lore in the liverian
1939s	itself so they complement each other
1941s	really nicely so if you're in i know i
1943s	just need to watch this it's so good
1945s	anyway so so this is uh this is um i'm
1948s	just gonna go bursting because why not
1950s	classic legacy weapon this is steinax
1953s	that's his agile animation set we can
1955s	also throw on the noble set uh and yeah
1957s	we can get a closer look thanks to the
1959s	zoom technology 2022.
1961s	that was one of my favorite stream
1963s	moments
1967s	greg let's take a look at your modeling
1969s	shall we inspiration
1971s	i have to maintain the product quality
1974s	yeah so i steinax is really really fun
1978s	really awesome and we are going to be
1979s	doing some gameplay with him so i might
1981s	as well you know fashion frame a little
1982s	bit first or wait usually jeff would say
1985s	stick with the default
1987s	carry you might have a different opinion
1988s	and uh what are you going into so we can
1991s	talk about color harmony oh i'm not
1993s	familiar with that term
1995s	we know we don't is there and i'm
1997s	feeling lucky button somewhere we just
1998s	log right in there
2000s	yeah how much random can you tolerate
2002s	before you say just get on with the show
2004s	because everything's looking pretty good
2006s	no that's the beauty of it right yeah
2007s	you make great selections yeah maybe
2009s	i'll throw in um
2011s	oh
2012s	an alt helmet we'll go with this one uh
2014s	let's take a look
2016s	oh yeah a little purple yeah
2018s	now we might not be launching with all
2020s	of them so just keep that in mind but uh
2022s	we do have at least two so
2025s	well that's pretty cool
2027s	all right maybe i'll go back to the
2029s	agujin helmet
2031s	okay pretty pretty good i'm gonna take
2034s	off the
2035s	whole string just so we can see all the
2036s	detail work you did on the back
2038s	hot off the press right yep
2041s	all right so yeah like i said uh steinax
2043s	well the void shell laverian uh some
2045s	customizations and
2047s	why don't you talk to me to like show
2048s	the abilities first nah just go in game
2051s	all right
2052s	uh and then you can tell which ones are
2054s	rail jack helmets all that fun stuff
2056s	all right are you gonna are you ready to
2058s	watch my game play in a totally new lens
2060s	yeah i'm just gonna start
2062s	be like slow down have those quiet
2064s	confidence just go right ahead
2066s	we'll make it work actually one uh so
2068s	this is all part of bailbreaker as well
2070s	so styanx is coming bailbreaker the
2072s	biggest qo bell that we've ever added to
2074s	the game we've short if by the way
2075s	spoilers if you didn't play the new war
2077s	don't ask where i am but the time
2080s	to use this little energy teleporter has
2082s	been significantly reduced almost by 75
2085s	wow that is some qol right there so
2088s	don't worry guys and that's the wrap for
2090s	the stream
2092s	stream
2094s	yeah get your codes
2095s	yep thanks so much
2097s	hoplite
2099s	spearman what was it spiritual
2102s	i'm probably just gonna hop to
2104s	actually
2106s	i don't know complimentary color has me
2108s	on edge now so
2109s	oh boy i don't actually remember where
2111s	you ended up i'm just gonna go
2112s	blue let me find grenier corpus and
2114s	tested any preference
2120s	because i feel like he'll fit in there
2121s	or something and i'm just going to do it
2123s	maybe i'll do a survival or something
2125s	actually i don't think there's survival
2126s	on series because it's uh
2134s	all right what's a girl to do in this
2136s	day and age you know what let's just do
2137s	a normal interception's pretty okay sure
2140s	let's do it fam
2142s	we made it here we go
2144s	uh yeah so talking a little bit about
2146s	steinex um
2148s	he's he's kind of interesting i felt
2150s	like um
2151s	when i saw the model like there was
2153s	something about it that felt kind of
2155s	classic warframe in a way you know the
2157s	fact that the legs are human legs the
2159s	arms are human aren't oh yeah by the way
2161s	this is coming with mailbreaker and it's
2163s	pre-processing that's why it's uh he's
2165s	doing that it's a little chugging
2166s	um
2168s	and i think his kid is also his kid is
2170s	kind of like
2171s	a little more uh stripped down in a way
2174s	it's not as uh crazy as some of the
2176s	others we have made
2177s	so uh we started this one what would you
2180s	put on spearboy for his one throwing
2183s	spears i mean what else are you gonna do
2186s	you saw a throne spear there
2188s	uh if you hit an enemy and then the
2190s	enemy hits a wall which happens a lot
2192s	because there's walls all over the place
2193s	and you hit them really hard it creates
2195s	a little vortex and
2197s	as mega man we recorded megan for the
2199s	sound effect that is exactly the same
2201s	effect that we put there uh and then you
2203s	bring
2204s	enemies together so
2206s	oh damn rep
2210s	hopefully you have infinite energy
2215s	we need some enemies we're ramping up i
2217s	don't want to fail the mission on stream
2219s	please don't
2220s	make it look good
2222s	oh wow oh my god
2224s	so i think i think he was he was not
2226s	long for this world
2228s	in fact
2229s	because of the level they might just
2230s	kind of insta die here but they still
2232s	suck like they do the vortex
2235s	um
2236s	yeah so with the vortex it's fairly long
2239s	range vortex so you can
2240s	if you if you do land it and what she's
2243s	doing right now
2244s	is it's not necessary but it's my
2246s	instinct whenever i'm playing which is
2248s	jump and spear them down because you
2249s	want them to hit a wall so if you jump
2252s	and spear them down that vortex happens
2254s	near you so you can uh control
2257s	quite a bit with that
2259s	um
2260s	kind of be your default thing to do if
2261s	you're on dallas right
2262s	yeah
2264s	and then he's oh you know what okay
2266s	small break small break
2268s	i need everyone to pay attention class
2270s	yes
2271s	i need everyone to do me a favor make me
2273s	a promise handshakes all around
2275s	let's pretend that that little shield
2277s	next to the help is not there
2280s	everyone just pretend that that doesn't
2283s	exist no one ever saw it
2285s	it's not a thing okay
2288s	okay spend your disbelief
2291s	that is not there you are not seeing
2293s	what you're seeing
2295s	i forgot that we turned it over there
2297s	[Laughter]
2300s	so his number two uh slams them with the
2303s	shield so you get close to them
2305s	uh i think they might be so low level
2307s	that they might just oh there you go
2308s	yeah so it does damage so at this low
2311s	level it kills them but if we find a
2313s	heavy gunner later you'll see
2315s	it cuts um armor in half and it cuts
2318s	shields in half and then does damage so
2320s	it's like a stagger which starts them
2322s	for like five c seconds six seconds so
2325s	it's like a micro cc
2327s	um and then it also cuts their
2330s	their their shields and their armor uh
2333s	by 50
2334s	and do i talk about armor shredding now
2336s	yes you do okay so
2338s	when i was doing this one i started kind
2341s	of looking at um
2343s	at how armor shredding works on
2344s	different abilities i noticed that it
2346s	was pretty inconsistent so essentially
2348s	in some in some warframes when we do
2351s	armor shredding by like 50
2353s	essentially what we do is first we go
2355s	from 100 to a 50 and then if we take
2358s	another 50 we just take 25 because it's
2360s	a 50
2362s	of the 50 percent and then you take
2364s	another 50 and now we only took 12.5 and
2366s	70. it just kind of go down down down
2368s	and it takes like seven hits to fully
2370s	remove armor
2372s	and that's how most armor shredding
2374s	works in fact there's only one that's
2375s	different and that's overrun so overall
2378s	the way it works with him is if he does
2380s	two
2381s	strips of 50 he actually takes off a
2383s	hundred percent
2384s	so
2385s	i didn't like that it was inconsistent
2387s	so we actually changed them all instead
2389s	of to the way that most do it we change
2391s	them to the overall way so now all armor
2394s	stripping abilities are more efficient
2396s	but are more effective so essentially if
2398s	you hit
2399s	twice with a 50
2401s	you'll strip 100
2402s	on all armor stripping abilities that
2405s	are percentage
2407s	i mentioned percent base because for
2409s	example mag is not percent base she's
2411s	like a fixed amount so that one didn't
2413s	change it's only the percent ones that
2415s	are changed and we change it for a whole
2416s	bunch of them i don't have a list with
2418s	me but it's a bunch
2420s	on top of that we also did a few
2421s	revisions to numbers on a few of them so
2423s	for example
2425s	i'm going to do this from memory so
2426s	sorry if i don't if i don't bring them
2428s	up but
2429s	terrify i think we went from like 30
2432s	percent
2433s	to 75 percent
2435s	uh overall we went from 30 to 50 strip
2438s	we increased a few uh not a ton but like
2441s	four or five i think we increased and we
2443s	also changed a few from being duration
2445s	based to being permanent
2447s	so
2448s	the one i remember right now for that i
2450s	think is banshee with the augment
2453s	the sonic fracture augment yeah i think
2455s	branching with the sonic fragment
2456s	augment used to be duration based now
2458s	it's permanent so once you hit them uh
2461s	they don't have the armor and they stay
2463s	without the armor and oh my god breaking
2465s	news back to science abilities oh yes
2468s	no no you're like you do what you got to
2469s	do but we gotta talk about the other two
2471s	sorry but it's also worth mentioning
2473s	that shield one is the helmet's
2474s	sustainability so you'll feel that that
2476s	is your bash
2477s	yeah as anyone
2479s	uh yeah so the reason i looked at the
2481s	whole armor shredding is because this
2483s	one armor shreds and in the process of
2485s	seeing that inconsistency is that we
2487s	deserve to change everything right so uh
2490s	yeah
2491s	third ability here we go ability here we
2493s	go so this is a buff i mean it's uh
2495s	basically it's called a rally or well
2497s	actually i don't even know what it is
2502s	so basically what it does is uh buffs
2504s	nearby alice and yourself
2506s	to get a passive energy region and every
2508s	time you get an assist on a kill you
2511s	gain shields and that yes i'm going to
2513s	do is ultimate before the level ends so
2514s	okay all i'm one guy though so prepare
2516s	yourself
2517s	okay ultimate on one guy
2526s	if you saw the moment from the end of
2527s	the the animation where he jumps up and
2530s	then just summons like energy spears and
2532s	starts throwing them at the thing that's
2534s	basically the ultimate
2536s	and basically it does yeah it does a
2538s	whole bunch of damage does slash proc so
2540s	it's kind of
2541s	it's pretty beastly again and it scales
2543s	pretty well
2545s	um
2546s	yeah yeah hell yeah so that's uh steinax
2549s	and he's coming sorry passive
2551s	uh we're going back to the arsenal we'll
2553s	be fine
2555s	the passive is he gets a
2556s	crit chance on weapons based on the
2559s	amount of shields he has so
2561s	if you put a whole bunch of all the
2562s	shield mods and you get overshields
2565s	which works with his three which is as
2567s	you're killing you start gaining shields
2568s	and getting overshields that increases
2570s	the crit chance with weapons
2572s	the effect is doubled for speargun
2574s	weapons
2575s	which i guess i also have to talk about
2577s	yeah
2581s	the other half's on the floor because i
2582s	spilled it but overall that is uh
2584s	gameplay of styanx as you can see axios
2586s	javelin theros strike rally point and
2589s	final stand make up visibilities
2591s	that's a real 300 power fantasy isn't it
2594s	his fight his final ultimate
2596s	yeah oh yeah absolutely is so
2599s	he is the spearman he just needs a big
2601s	kick he just needs an animation i don't
2602s	know if the animation
2604s	as you know part of the fun with new
2606s	warframes is you get to watch all the
2607s	idle animations to see where the
2608s	personality comes through so
2611s	we got the jeff one arm pull up
2613s	who knows that's gonna be hard to top
2614s	let's let's do a live i don't know what
2616s	the other ones are right now so this is
2617s	very exciting
2619s	why don't we go bow ones are always
2620s	really interesting
2622s	so let's what a great color scheme and
2624s	now we stare now
2626s	i did see a question asking how he gets
2628s	starring axe for free and it's going to
2630s	be a two-week window failbreaker is
2632s	going to launch you just log into the
2634s	game you're going to get a nice little
2635s	inbox and you're going to get styanax
2636s	for free
2638s	for that two-week window and then it
2640s	will be like you said in its regular
2641s	places and when it comes to the free
2642s	path after that we'll talk about this on
2644s	stream too so we said it's going to be a
2645s	long stream we meant it yeah it's
2646s	already 2 40. are you kidding me oh boy
2649s	remember when i said it would be great
2651s	like first time so hopefully you know
2654s	you'll be fine have you passed the first
2655s	page yet nope nope
2658s	i have my water yeah
2667s	did we see his idol i wasn't even
2668s	looking yeah we did oh we did all right
2671s	so
2671s	within fill breaker we're going to get
2673s	towards the field breaker quest and what
2676s	you know about call returning but
2679s	there's a lot of quality of life
2681s	in this update when i say a lot i mean a
2684s	lot
2685s	a lot of us hello so much so that we
2688s	have 18 pages of notes to go over we got
2690s	a lot of notes
2692s	okay so which one do we what so let's
2694s	take a look at what actual veil breaker
2695s	actually is at the top level
2697s	so it is our 30 second major update so
2699s	it's update 32 it's going to have a
2702s	small quest that introduces you to the
2704s	future of bail breaking so if you've
2705s	played the new war you kind of can get
2707s	the idea of where did the world state
2710s	leave off after everything that happened
2712s	in the new war and bail breaker is the
2714s	update that speaks to that introduces
2716s	new systems and things for you to play
2718s	that speak to what state things might be
2721s	in so we're not gonna give any spoilers
2722s	but i want to make sure that players
2723s	have a pretty good understanding of all
2725s	the expectations for this update so
2727s	there's a quest that's going to kick
2728s	things off
2730s	and then it's going to lead into the two
2731s	systems we're adding to the game for
2733s	content which we'll talk about
2734s	then of course all of this is behind the
2737s	new war so if you haven't finished the
2738s	new war yet get on in there we've done a
2740s	lot of improvements to getting there
2742s	from a new player perspective we have
2744s	even more coming in this update with
2745s	junction improvements just to make that
2746s	flow easier uh but it does bring back a
2749s	character from the new war it brings a
2751s	way for this new character which spoiler
2753s	it's called uh is going to interact with
2756s	who could it be how call interacts with
2758s	the world uh and it's going to bring it
2760s	down in a weekly activity way so players
2762s	can sort of know what to expect when it
2764s	comes to what they're going to be doing
2765s	with the content here and a lot of that
2767s	content is around call and a lot of it
2769s	is around something called the archons
2770s	which if you've played the new war
2772s	you'll see we're not going to show it
2773s	for spoilers but you'll get a really
2774s	good idea if you are on the tip of the
2777s	spear
2779s	yeah
2780s	that's sort of the overview and then
2781s	with all the new comes quality of life
2784s	so we also have
2786s	i think there's a second slide here um
2788s	that tells you that yes of course styanx
2790s	is coming also new 50th warframe
2792s	quality of life um and balance new void
2796s	shell new cosmetics of course there's
2798s	tons so we can go through all of those
2800s	things for people that have been waiting
2801s	to see protea deluxe in action um and
2804s	yeah we'll just talk about the quality
2805s	of life overview and then we're gonna
2807s	get into it uh yeah so if you wanna
2810s	we're gonna start it off we got
2811s	syndicate pledge first all right
2814s	so you're gonna be coming back to the
2815s	slide a lot dean so prepare yourself so
2817s	it's a little back and forth yeah so
2819s	first syndicate stuff uh since the dawn
2821s	of time uh man has yearned to pledge to
2824s	syndicates we've actually done this
2826s	several times yeah like this is a bit of
2828s	our groundhog day is like separating
2831s	aesthetics from
2832s	aesthetics from functionality yeah
2835s	i don't know how many times we've done
2836s	this but
2837s	i think i had it in my gdc talk but
2840s	if you don't know if you love a
2841s	syndicate you put on a sigil and you say
2844s	to yourself do i want to support you
2845s	know steel meridian because i'm based
2847s	and awesome or do i want to support red
2848s	veil because i like to kill people
2850s	but what you'll notice is that the
2852s	sigils as you can see no longer have any
2854s	percent associated with them which means
2856s	they're purely
2857s	cosmetic
2859s	who knew
2860s	who knew
2861s	yeah so essentially i mean i see chat
2864s	already spamming essentially we split
2865s	that so you no longer now the sigils are
2868s	just for who do you want to represent
2871s	what does look cool with your fashion
2872s	frame
2873s	uh and it no longer has any tied to the
2876s	gameplay of earning the points
2878s	and now for that when when you just get
2881s	to a system or when you want to switch
2882s	you go to syndicate's console and there
2884s	it is pledge allegiance to a syndicate
2886s	to increase your standing with that
2887s	syndicate and its allies and earn
2889s	rewards you lose standing with
2890s	syndicates that oppose your pledged
2892s	ideals but can rescind your pledge at
2893s	any time
2894s	so for me you've done voiceover work
2896s	before yeah some would say so say i want
2898s	to switch it up and be a part of the
2900s	parent sequence i click pledge
2902s	i am now pledged he hates me
2905s	you're right yeah he he hates me
2908s	but now he likes me so i'm happy
2910s	but then at any time i can rescind it if
2912s	i want to swap so yeah you can just swap
2914s	around syndicate hop you know who's who
2917s	should i choose pablo
2919s	uh i'm a red build kind of guy all right
2922s	you know i'm very edgy as you can see
2923s	you know but you can see from my colors
2925s	that
2926s	real life
2928s	yeah so basically just by playing and by
2930s	pledging yourself to one of these
2932s	syndicates you're getting that standing
2934s	um and we also have we did keep a little
2937s	bit of like the bonus for uh how much do
2939s	you get so basically
2941s	as you rank through the
2944s	as you rank through the
2946s	syndicate you'll basically start earning
2948s	higher bonuses and that basically
2950s	it really comes in more for speeding up
2953s	if you want to do transitions between
2954s	them or when you want to fill up your
2956s	standing for um yeah so if you hide
2957s	esteem what pablo just said is right
2959s	there in the ui so you don't need to
2961s	worry about that bonus because i'm max
2962s	rank earning 15 of affinity so you'll be
2965s	able to swap and stuff the percent still
2968s	scale based on rank for syndicates
2970s	yep and wait i
2972s	did we show the bomb so there's change
2975s	pledge yeah
2976s	right below your crotch
2978s	where it belongs
2979s	oh my god
2982s	lotus wannabe will get her time in the
2983s	sun oh lord
2985s	all right so that's one of the many
2986s	qrl's next one starter warframe reworked
2989s	we talked about this very briefly on the
2991s	dev q a at tennocon right so the
2994s	intention with this is uh sometimes
2996s	obviously the first three frames that
2998s	players will use we know they won't have
3000s	all the mods and all the things that
3003s	that you know or all of our veterans
3005s	have so we wanted to kind of make them a
3007s	bit more accessible especially for for
3010s	that crowd so we touched a few things
3013s	um i don't have
3015s	we did those like maybe like between
3017s	three and two months ago so i don't
3019s	remember them all by her i got a whole
3020s	list if you want me to arrive enough to
3022s	i will
3023s	you can tell me if i forget okay great
3025s	i'll correct you so in excalibur the
3026s	main focus was his one uh basically we
3029s	added um
3030s	if i remember correctly we added slash
3032s	prox2 every swing it's much faster it
3035s	feels snappier there was some touch-ups
3037s	to the effects to make it look a little
3039s	more more oomfy
3041s	more satisfying when you're doing the
3043s	the attacks um
3046s	for his two i don't think we changed
3047s	anything in particular uh for his three
3050s	we did a slash broke to hit we removed
3053s	the enemy cap i guess the enemy cap
3055s	isn't really for new players but anyways
3058s	and then i think for his fourth we
3060s	didn't change anything
3062s	in general what we did do and this is
3064s	this applies to all three
3066s	a few of the stats for the abilities
3069s	if you guys remember the change we did
3071s	for arcanes where they had like four
3072s	different stats and they all scaled
3074s	every rank we changed their case to now
3076s	have only one stat that ranks every rank
3078s	and everything else is pushed to the max
3080s	we did that with a few of the abilities
3082s	here and the the overall objective of
3084s	that is that if you have a lot of
3086s	abilities that are scalable rank then
3088s	the improvements become exponential
3091s	uh whereas if you just have uh one
3094s	it's linear right so basically we wanted
3096s	to make it you're raising the floor but
3099s	keeping the ceiling the same that's kind
3101s	of what we're doing so we did that with
3103s	this one's again in the
3105s	for the intent of it being
3107s	and feeling better when you're does that
3108s	mean i can put slash dash back on my
3110s	excalibur
3111s	should i consider doing that you should
3113s	definitely consider it it definitely can
3115s	it does pack a punch
3117s	um
3118s	then for mag
3120s	big changes on
3121s	her too
3122s	that one we can show if you want i don't
3124s	know if you want to show it but uh
3126s	basically the problem generally with mag
3128s	is whenever you pulled uh enemies would
3130s	just pull in your direction
3132s	for one her one yeah yeah sorry if i
3134s	said big changes for her too no uh i'd
3137s	say i was uh hurt too her like wow
3141s	as well additionally yeah okay um
3144s	yeah so her pull uh generally you would
3146s	pull enemies and they would just end up
3148s	way behind you and you'd have no way to
3150s	shoot them it'd be kind of uncomfortable
3152s	often so now when you pull they pull in
3155s	front of you we made a little vortex in
3157s	front of you so you kind of just gather
3159s	them up and smash them uh it is honestly
3162s	maybe a little too powerful
3166s	but it is really fun it feels much
3168s	better to use you can gather enemies and
3170s	just kind of if you're using melee you
3172s	can just land them right there
3174s	if you're using um
3176s	the second ability it also is very good
3178s	because you basically gather them on the
3181s	on the bubble so
3183s	it definitely it definitely feels pretty
3185s	good uh one thing we did change here is
3187s	because it's so much power so much more
3189s	powerful now the helmet version was
3191s	reduced so just bear that in mind if uh
3194s	if you're gonna be using it as usual
3197s	whenever there's a reduced version in
3199s	the comments there's uh there's a note
3201s	in the tooltip itself where you can see
3203s	the the updated stats
3206s	so put yeah pull pulls things no longer
3208s	behind you in range where you can
3209s	actually go go to town yeah so as you
3212s	can see it is pretty effective because
3214s	he literally just leaves them right
3215s	there for you
3216s	served in a platter for you to destroy
3219s	i love things on a platter yeah
3221s	um
3223s	then for her uh her one also now
3225s	synergizes well i guess this would be
3227s	with her tree okay so her tree always
3229s	created those little sharks a lot of
3231s	players didn't even know this was a
3232s	thing because they are kind of hard to
3234s	see and they're you know
3236s	they never wear a big deal so you see
3238s	those little lights over there now when
3240s	you pull them you can see they hover
3242s	around you
3243s	uh if enemies get close to you they deal
3245s	damage to them
3247s	and then also if you then cast the
3250s	magnetized bubble those little things
3252s	will fly into the magnetized bubble to
3254s	basically buff it up as uh as you guys
3258s	are used to right so you can see them uh
3260s	spinning there and dealing damage well
3263s	that guy was already dead
3265s	you see what i'm saying um
3268s	and i think that's it i think that's it
3270s	so it's mostly about buffing making the
3272s	mechanics of that of the polarized
3274s	shards much more clearer
3276s	connecting them to other abilities and
3278s	then making that one way more powerful
3281s	people that play the index are saying
3282s	they're financially stressed by that
3284s	ability
3286s	i can see that index index folks
3290s	and finally bolt bolt is the one that
3292s	receives the least amount of changes
3293s	because he was pretty solid already
3296s	a lot of what i mentioned earlier you
3297s	know buffing those those base stats to
3299s	to max rank uh his one is now 15 energy
3303s	instead of 25 that's something we're
3305s	trying just like how does it like we
3308s	generally ability first abilities have
3310s	always been 25 kind of universally we're
3312s	trying it on this one see how it feels
3315s	to have a 15 energy
3317s	version of it
3318s	um for his uh shield
3322s	most of the changes are to the carry
3324s	version uh it no longer uh for the
3327s	character i can't carry it's okay i
3329s	didn't know i had my
3331s	ultimate version so that's exciting
3333s	it no longer adds extra energy drain it
3336s	no longer slows you down it no longer
3338s	limits you to secondary so all of those
3341s	extra limitations are gone
3343s	so it's much more comfortable to use
3345s	well it's actually much more viable to
3347s	use because a lot of people were not
3348s	using it as as it was yes and uh did i
3352s	miss anything no you oh
3354s	wow
3355s	what am i even here for i'm not as
3357s	female as i thought
3359s	i'm just gonna jump in and i saw someone
3361s	in chat asking about the gilding changes
3362s	that's just a conversation so
3364s	essentially as we're looking through
3365s	like i said the new war is a you know
3368s	prerequisite to play the veil breaker
3369s	stuff getting people to new ore in a way
3370s	that is streamlined and interesting and
3372s	fun with all the content we have uh
3374s	gilding changes speak to that so
3376s	essentially the gilding system as it is
3378s	now it takes your modular gear um and it
3381s	you know you can gild it to not only
3383s	increase their stats but also to start
3385s	earning mastery from it and other things
3387s	but what we've done with gilding now is
3389s	as a functionality for modular gear it
3391s	is now the gate to mastery so that means
3394s	that your modular stuff from your zaws
3396s	to your kit guns are going to give
3399s	gilded level stats when you build it and
3402s	then you can choose to guild it if you
3403s	want to earn mastery so gilding for the
3405s	player that's looking for power or cus i
3407s	think customization's too still actually
3410s	but as far as functionality goes you
3411s	will get your stats at the just modular
3415s	level so that if you're wanting to build
3417s	a different amp because you know you
3418s	need a better amp for the quests to come
3420s	after second dream you'll be able to get
3422s	stats from those before having to guild
3425s	and turn in which really comes down to
3427s	the way that the quills syndicate works
3430s	because you know you need to progress a
3431s	lot in that syndicate before you can
3433s	guild your amp but now the amp you make
3436s	is going to just be better um as you're
3438s	earlier in that syndicate which was the
3439s	real
3440s	motivation for that change for
3442s	for folks one change i forgot about both
3444s	them
3447s	one more i just saw someone chad mention
3449s	it i did uh the speed buff is actually
3452s	higher now a little bit i don't remember
3454s	the number what you're increasing volt
3456s	speed though yeah
3459s	and we're slightly increasing the
3461s	duration not a lot i know
3464s	because of change the comment i was
3466s	seeing in chat is like hey what increase
3468s	the duration i i don't like the uh in
3471s	general i think it feels better when a
3473s	buff is not like something that you just
3476s	have all the time because then you don't
3477s	even really like feel when the speed
3479s	comes in so it's higher it's constant
3483s	for all ranks so rank rank 0 will have
3486s	the same duration as max rank they're
3488s	all raised to the ceiling it's a little
3490s	higher but not a lot higher but the
3492s	speed itself is high
3494s	excellent anything else
3498s	throw more words in chat and start we'll
3500s	start using what comes all right ribbon
3503s	changes
3505s	right so with ribbons if you come to the
3507s	game my game play i'm just gonna kind of
3509s	recap how they currently work uh you
3511s	never know someone's experience level in
3512s	chat but essentially you have ribbon
3514s	slots and those ribbon slots are
3516s	occupied by any ribbon you get in the
3518s	game so ribbon capacity yeah so your
3520s	ribbon capacity mine right now is 117.
3523s	i'm almost at capacity and every ribbon
3525s	i get is going to feed into that but
3527s	we are changing that change that i made
3529s	a great video on it dean if you'd like
3531s	to roll my video that i made this
3532s	morning um yeah so basically there's
3535s	those two stats now we have a new kind
3538s	of state for the ribbon where
3540s	essentially you're going to get your
3542s	ribbon and it is going to stack and it
3544s	is going to be basically a secret you're
3545s	going to obviously know what weapon to
3546s	put it on so that you can equip it as
3548s	you can see it kind of goes by a little
3549s	fast but as soon as you equip that
3551s	ribbon onto that weapon it unveils it
3554s	you can see what the actual challenge is
3555s	and then it counts towards your ribbon
3557s	capacity so you can just keep earning
3558s	ribbons and not equipping it and knowing
3561s	what it's for and it doesn't stack
3562s	towards that uh capacity you have yeah
3565s	it's like a pre-capacity bucket so that
3567s	sometimes we've always struggled with
3569s	you can't do a sortie because your
3570s	ribbon capacity is full and that's just
3572s	sort of a bit of a not a pleasant flow
3575s	for the player so this solves that
3577s	yeah essentially it was like a
3580s	it felt sometimes like a pressure to
3582s	pressure to purchase which we generally
3584s	don't like we like when players buy
3586s	something because they either want to
3588s	support us or they want to actually get
3589s	something in the in the game and this
3591s	sometimes felt like
3593s	well you cannot play anymore like you
3595s	cannot do sorties if you're at cap and
3597s	things like that and it just it just
3599s	felt bad to add that pressure there so
3600s	we just changed it so that it's a little
3602s	more um
3603s	a little more relaxed and you can kind
3605s	of save them there and then once you
3606s	actually want to start using them then
3608s	you
3609s	do that step to kind of reveal them uh
3612s	it does have a little bit of complexity
3613s	to the system because now we have three
3614s	states but it's not too much so i think
3616s	it's too much i think it's uh
3618s	good yeah it's a good one
3621s	next up oh what you got for us meg where
3624s	are you taking us hold off pablo's
3626s	twitter oh god oh you guys need to start
3628s	tweeting stuff for you
3630s	don't you don't ever
3631s	you don't have a twitter account i bet i
3633s	can smart i can assume
3635s	chat's going to guess where this is
3636s	going to go wukong
3638s	oh wukong i'm actually going to talk
3641s	about aoe and put welcome somewhere in
3643s	there go for it okay jump right into aoe
3646s	pablo
3646s	we're gonna go directly into aoe
3648s	uh and that's why i brought this page
3651s	that's how complicated that one is the
3652s	rest of us can just sit back
3655s	okay i think our job is to react to
3657s	problems yes this is like
3659s	we want to get the thumbnails on the
3660s	react streams like i can't believe de
3662s	did this
3664s	or like what are they doing
3666s	i need something to i can flip the table
3667s	or yeah yeah i already knocked my water
3670s	over so very well there is that
3672s	treacherous piece of paper though so it
3673s	keeps coming back yes it's true
3675s	treachery and all
3677s	um so aoe
3679s	uh
3681s	anyway
3683s	over to him yeah
3685s	basically as you guys know aoe has been
3688s	pretty dominant for for a little while
3691s	uh particularly given some of the
3693s	changes that we made in the past such as
3695s	removing the self-damage um that's
3699s	that's one of the ones that really kind
3700s	of boosted up things because now that
3702s	there's no
3704s	you know obviously in hindsight we can
3705s	see now that that that actual
3707s	functionality was doing
3709s	quite a bit of work on maintaining the
3712s	usage of aoe under control
3714s	and that control has been gone for a
3717s	while
3719s	so the first thought is like okay
3721s	why are we changing it
3723s	what reasons do we have
3725s	so we generally look at uh there's many
3728s	things to look at whenever we decide to
3730s	make a change but there's three that
3731s	generally do me pretty well for almost
3733s	any gameplay thing that i'm looking at
3737s	one is
3738s	looking at
3739s	how automated is it you know is it
3741s	something that you're actually playing
3743s	is it something that you can
3745s	uh kind of not play and ignore and for
3748s	this uh we actually have some uh we have
3750s	footage of how we play for the live
3758s	this is showing the fact that there's no
3760s	consequence to using it well there's a
3762s	few things being shown here yeah
3764s	essentially you can run through a
3765s	mission like this kind of shooting a a
3767s	rocket at your feet murdering everything
3770s	in a long long range
3772s	uh you never run out of ammo you never
3774s	suffer much damage
3776s	it's it's very very um
3778s	i wouldn't say it's automated but i
3780s	would give it a half a point for
3781s	automatically we can take a look at full
3783s	automation with the second aoe
3785s	yeah it's gonna use a little more uh
3787s	yeah so there's this one uh
3790s	this one basically uh we had one of the
3792s	testers try this and he stayed there
3794s	several minutes never ran out of energy
3796s	never run out of ammo never died like he
3799s	could even collect enough uh
3801s	survival um thingy from just standing
3804s	there doing essentially nothing just
3805s	shooting at the floor you don't even
3807s	have to see the enemies about eight
3808s	years ago when we first debated putting
3810s	an explosive weapon into the game at all
3812s	look at us now did you say yesterday
3813s	look at that
3816s	possibly be my fault
3819s	you wanted grenade launchers carry
3820s	didn't you i liked quake a lot
3826s	um so yeah we feel like this this style
3829s	of gameplay has become pretty
3831s	it's pretty bad like you know you're
3833s	uh you know
3835s	you're not playing games yeah and i
3836s	think just for like people that are
3838s	mentally organized for how we're going
3840s	to go through this there's three things
3841s	three core rules for how we address
3843s	balance the first one is automated right
3845s	and then you're going to take us through
3846s	the other two and we have some more
3847s	videos right
3848s	so the second one is dominance and we've
3850s	done this before for example with
3852s	catchment when weapons become so
3855s	overwhelmingly
3857s	dominant that you basically have almost
3860s	no choice but to use them if you use
3862s	anything else you almost feel like
3864s	you're playing wrong
3865s	because what's going to compete with
3867s	what you're seeing on screen right like
3868s	it's just
3869s	you're just devastating entire rooms
3871s	without having to aim without a care in
3873s	the world it's very hard to have
3875s	anything else that can compete with
3877s	something like that so right now out of
3879s	our top five weapons uh all five are aoe
3883s	they comprise 47 of our weapon usage
3887s	it's essentially
3888s	kind of all there is
3890s	so use aoe or you're playing wrong as a
3892s	trend so uh yes you can come back to us
3894s	now dean this i'm sure people are not
3896s	getting any interest do you get it yet
3900s	yeah like that's just the location
3902s	that's the extreme use case that's when
3906s	like that particular use case is when
3908s	you are automating and playing people do
3910s	play and engage with warfarin with 80
3911s	weapons we're not painting everyone with
3912s	the same brush we're just showing the
3915s	extremes that we see when we get these
3917s	reports and and actually the last point
3919s	so a if you're not doing that you're
3921s	playing wrong and the final one which is
3922s	for our co-op game the most important
3924s	are you disrupting other players yeah
3926s	and that that comes down to like how
3928s	disruptive is your game play to other
3930s	players that might join you because at
3931s	the end of the day this is a co-op game
3934s	uh we need to like we need to try and
3936s	keep the game fun for everyone and so
3939s	make it so that one player cannot kind
3940s	of quote unquote ruin it for the rest
3943s	i think a great example of this is when
3945s	we made changes to limbo the problem
3947s	wasn't really that
3949s	limbo was too strong or the limit was
3950s	whatever it was mostly that whenever a
3952s	player was playing with old limbo it was
3954s	just annoying to play with their limbo
3956s	because he would just freeze the enemies
3958s	you couldn't shoot them
3959s	he like limbo could really ruin the game
3961s	for you yeah rest in peace
3966s	uh and i think it's similar for this uh
3968s	we don't generally see
3970s	players asking us to nerf things it's
3972s	very very unusual but we are seeing it
3975s	quite a bit with aoe i'm sure you've
3976s	seen it on forums on reddit and twitter
3979s	you know i get this is one of i can't
3982s	even remember another thing i've been
3983s	asked to nerf in dms before
3986s	but this one is one because it is
3988s	making the game uh less fun for other
3991s	players that want to try other gameplay
3994s	styles
3995s	this one has become so dominant they
3996s	just cannot really coexist with it
4000s	so yeah so those are
4002s	those are actually
4003s	those are wise now what are we doing uh
4007s	we try to approach this in a kind of
4009s	holistic way so we're gonna so this is
4011s	gonna be kind of complicated because i'm
4013s	gonna come at it from many different
4015s	angles
4016s	uh we're not doing like i don't think
4018s	any of this changes on their own are
4021s	huge
4022s	they're like small changes all over the
4024s	place so
4026s	let me start with ammo
4028s	so ammo we are actually we're already
4030s	working on changing ammo before we
4032s	started doing this and it just happened
4034s	to
4035s	be something that worked pretty well
4036s	together
4037s	so what we wanted to change with so i'll
4039s	start with what we were changing for
4040s	ammo and then at the end i'll mention
4042s	why it matters for aoe
4044s	so
4045s	in ammo we have four different types of
4046s	ammo that drop regularly in the game we
4049s	have five if you count heavy ammo but i
4051s	won't
4051s	so those four types basically be
4053s	secondary primary shotgun and sniper
4057s	and then basically those drop in the
4059s	floor they have different different
4060s	colors and then you pick them up uh
4063s	for the most part players are not really
4066s	very aware of ammo because it's just you
4068s	can just kind of ignore it it doesn't
4070s	really serve much purpose other than
4071s	seeing a whole bunch of little color
4073s	things sprinkled around the level
4076s	so we were we were trying to simplify it
4078s	and we are changing it into primary and
4080s	secondary only
4082s	no more separation for shotgun or for uh
4085s	sniper
4087s	so
4088s	what does that mean for you if you came
4090s	with your with your shotgun to a mission
4092s	it means that now when you kill an enemy
4095s	instead of having a one out of four
4097s	chance of getting ammo that actually
4099s	helps you you now get one out of two so
4101s	that basically now ammo was a little
4103s	more plentiful for you
4105s	on top of that we actually increase how
4107s	much ammo you get from each uh bucket
4110s	because we reduced how often they drop
4112s	so we've
4114s	they're now twice as useful
4116s	we reduce how often they drop by half so
4119s	now we're even and then we increased how
4121s	much ammo they give so now it's above
4124s	does that make sense it does so when we
4126s	talk about like this so far how does
4128s	this relate to aoe we'll get to you said
4129s	you're going to take a few different
4130s	angles but i think you know if you're
4132s	really passionate about aoe definitely
4134s	listen to everything we're saying here
4135s	and we're going to have recaps there's
4136s	going to be overviews um we said it was
4138s	going to be a long stream and we meant
4140s	it and we still have art to get to don't
4141s	worry
4142s	guys um and uh yeah so at this point
4145s	ammo as a vector to try and balance aoe
4148s	is the first right so
4151s	after those changes how does this relate
4152s	to ammo well if you're uh
4155s	if you remember when when there was an
4157s	attempt to nerf brahma before
4160s	i say an attempt because it didn't
4161s	really work the attempt was reduce how
4164s	much ammo it has
4165s	reduce how much ammo you get from each
4167s	ammo pack
4168s	with the idea that that would kind of
4170s	throttle how how much you could shoot it
4172s	the reason it didn't work is because
4174s	ammo packs dropped so often that without
4177s	mutation you could basically keep up
4179s	your economy of ammo without really
4181s	having to care at all
4184s	now that ammo packs are a little
4186s	more spread they have the drop half the
4188s	time
4189s	you actually can run out of ammo which
4192s	is is definitely quite new for us but we
4195s	can actually now use ammo for balancing
4198s	whereas with the previous system we
4200s	really couldn't
4201s	now for weapons that have large ammo
4203s	pools
4204s	this is actually a buff because since
4206s	you have a large chamber pull you can go
4209s	you can
4210s	wait for the next time it will drop to
4212s	come and now it will give you even more
4214s	ammo than before so for those weapons
4217s	don't don't really worry too much about
4218s	those those are totally fine but now we
4220s	can actually use this system as a way to
4223s	throttle the brahma yeah and i think
4224s	just as someone that has my five former
4226s	brahma and i still love it it's not a
4228s	matter of like we don't want to take the
4232s	kuva gear that you've earned and you
4234s	don't want to use it anymore so this
4235s	will be a very reactive balance approach
4238s	and i think just when it comes to
4239s	intention and the fiction of a something
4242s	like the brahma which is an aoe
4243s	explosive arrow
4245s	maybe it's better that i don't use it on
4246s	one single enemy and then rate again on
4248s	a group and just try and be more
4250s	tactical so it's just about
4252s	using your grenade launcher on one enemy
4254s	versus clustering and being just a bit
4256s	more strategic and that's it really
4259s	yeah we didn't really want to make it so
4261s	because a lot of the suggestions that we
4264s	saw for how to handle this was like just
4266s	reduce the damage
4267s	until it's considerably inferior to
4269s	single target but we felt that that went
4272s	against the fiction of shooting a
4274s	grenade launcher to someone you know
4276s	like if you're shooting a rocket at
4278s	someone's face it needs to be punchy it
4280s	needs to
4281s	kill a bunch of enemies
4283s	it just needs to not be as mindless as
4285s	it is right now where you have not a
4287s	care in the world for you know if you're
4289s	aiming at one guy or if i'm not five
4291s	it's all the same to you yeah so because
4294s	we're talking about emma i don't know if
4295s	you're gonna go into the holster speed
4297s	stuff from here oh yeah yeah okay so
4298s	because there is a but definitely
4301s	depending on your builds or how you
4302s	manage your gameplay there is a
4303s	likelihood you'll be holstering and
4305s	weapon swapping more which means we're
4306s	actually going to buff that
4308s	right this is a long-standing change and
4310s	we have a video kind of showing it
4313s	essentially we're changing holstering
4315s	you can see there on the right we have
4317s	the new one on the left we have the old
4319s	one and essentially we remove the first
4321s	animation where you go and holster in
4324s	and then we
4325s	sped up the second animation where you
4327s	holster out
4328s	so now switching between weapons is
4331s	considerably faster so
4333s	it actually enables you a little bit
4335s	more to
4336s	bring a
4337s	workhorse
4339s	weapon as your secondary that you can
4340s	use to kill around and then on your
4342s	primary you can keep your
4344s	aoe nuke so you nuke a few times you
4347s	start running low on ammo you switch to
4350s	your secondary you kill a few enemies
4352s	gather ammo and then switch back and
4353s	then you can do that that back and forth
4356s	um which uh it really is kind of like
4360s	that is the reason there is a secondary
4362s	like the whole point of the secondary
4364s	was so that you could like accomplish
4366s	separate things um
4368s	from
4369s	from your primary so that you could have
4371s	several tools but it never really has
4373s	quite quite been like that because uh
4375s	generally primaries were so
4377s	so dominant that that didn't happen
4380s	um
4381s	i saw a question in chat about big girl
4382s	swap we did a pass on all the mods that
4385s	um all the mods that had um
4388s	holster speed
4389s	some of them we just removed so for
4390s	example in invigoral swap we we just
4393s	left the the damage buff untouched and
4395s	we just remove the holster speed part
4397s	because it makes no sense now we do have
4399s	some mods that are just holster speed
4402s	that we changed to now if i
4404s	i'm not going to improvise what they are
4406s	right now but we changed them
4408s	they still exist and they do something
4409s	related to holster which my memory does
4412s	not allow me to recall right now that's
4413s	okay i think just this we're giving you
4415s	all the information basically what we've
4416s	been working on behind the scenes we
4417s	will have notes and we will of course be
4419s	reading everything and then once this
4421s	goes live we'll be we'll be in you know
4422s	we'll be going over everything so this
4424s	is where we are our headspace what's
4426s	been implemented
4426s	and then
4427s	you know this is going to be a bit of a
4428s	longer stream i do have some sort of
4430s	state of things at the end just to give
4432s	people some insight into bigger
4433s	development projects uh but we still um
4435s	have a few more things to go over for
4437s	this and then you know
4439s	yeah uh i forgot to mention i'm a
4441s	mutation on the ammo part we're doing
4443s	stuff about i'm introducing don't worry
4444s	we'll look at it um
4446s	the next thing is headshots yes
4449s	so right now uh aoes can do headshots is
4453s	not a very uh significant part of their
4456s	damage
4457s	from the tests we did internally it
4458s	depends on the weapon
4460s	we basically uh one of our programmers
4462s	set up a thing that we could see stats
4464s	live as we were playing and compare
4467s	damage with hedgehog multiplier and
4468s	without headshot multiplier and from the
4471s	test that we did internally um basically
4474s	you it was a difference between like
4476s	four and ten percent damage so it's not
4478s	a huge nerf to aoe weapons but basically
4480s	aoe weapons can no longer deal headshots
4483s	the explosion part if you hit someone
4485s	with the brahma with the arrow on the
4486s	head that will do a headshot but the
4489s	explosion itself won't do headshots
4492s	impractical gameplay is not a huge deal
4494s	but it always felt kind of absurd that a
4498s	flamethrower could deal a headshot it
4499s	just never made sense um if it doesn't
4502s	work for me in real life it shouldn't
4503s	work anymore okay
4505s	let me i will see your bullet shuffling
4511s	so we changed that for aoe so they no
4513s	longer do a headshot multiplier and then
4516s	we
4517s	the the other the other kind of side of
4520s	like okay well if ao is too strong then
4523s	maybe we need to lift the the things
4525s	that are not aoe
4526s	basically for any sort of precision
4528s	weapons we increase the headshot
4530s	multiplier to three times multiplier so
4533s	now if you land a headshot with an
4535s	actual weapon you actually do more
4538s	damage
4538s	so that way you can
4540s	bring your rubiko which actually is
4542s	pretty highly used
4544s	and then if you deal a headshot with it
4546s	now it's a triple triple the damage so
4548s	basically you have um
4550s	more incentive to use precision weapons
4552s	there
4553s	yeah so that's basically yeah the blast
4555s	like you said no more headshots but
4557s	single target has been increased correct
4560s	yeah and that you know generally like as
4561s	a mechanic headshots are
4564s	generally there to reward precision so
4566s	it didn't really make sense when a large
4569s	explosion could deal a headshot so
4572s	and also in practical in practical use
4574s	it almost never happened because uh the
4577s	the aoe would hit the body before you
4580s	hit the head so it would almost never
4581s	count as a headshot so it's it's a low
4583s	occurrence thing but we are changing it
4587s	and then the mods
4588s	so let's you can actually come back to
4590s	my gameplay now uh dean i'm gonna just
4592s	show i think we're only touching two
4595s	prime mods
4596s	uh two promises yes so prime firestorm
4598s	and uh
4600s	prime fulmination yep
4602s	so uh historically whenever we've done
4605s	uh prime mods we generally uh increase
4608s	the the stats by about two
4611s	two times not as much as two but about
4614s	that so for example i have examples here
4616s	of continuity goes from thirty percent
4618s	to fifty five percent uh flow goes to
4620s	150 to 275 so it's not exactly double
4624s	it's a little less than double but close
4625s	to that and then we have some that grow
4627s	less that grow about only like 50 like
4630s	pressure point goes from 120 to 165 or
4632s	pistol gambit goes from 120 to 167.
4636s	so generally that's how we do it
4638s	on this once on prime firestorm and uh
4641s	and fulmination
4642s	we went triple the bonus
4645s	which was kind of crazy uh in retrospect
4649s	you know obviously it was it was uh
4652s	unusual and it was also a mistake
4654s	because we can now see that uh aoe is
4657s	really really brutal so um we're gonna
4660s	bring those down to be similar to other
4662s	frames similar to other prime mods so
4664s	it's uh gonna go from 24
4666s	to 44
4668s	when it's the the prime one so those two
4671s	are are changing to be more in line and
4674s	we are doing compensation for players so
4676s	anyone that's modded like you know or
4678s	fuse this mod to max you will be
4680s	reimbursed if you are no fan of the
4682s	changes
4683s	we have a couple others that are also
4685s	outliers that we're also changing uh
4687s	tactical pump and reach but in the case
4690s	of those we're changing in a different
4691s	way instead of lowering the prime we're
4693s	actually increasing the base one so uh
4696s	just the plain old reach is going to
4698s	increase to 1.5 the tactical pump is
4700s	going to increase to i don't know i
4702s	think it's 60 or something like that
4704s	um
4705s	yeah but i think one thing when it comes
4707s	to you know why is the aoe meta the way
4710s	it is and all of these things you know
4712s	every time we do an update cycle we
4713s	release the prime
4715s	and i'm just going to go into this part
4716s	now so you can stop me if you weren't
4717s	done there but
4718s	i have so there's more stuff i know but
4721s	i wanted to just kind of acknowledge the
4723s	reason a player might be inclined or
4725s	sometimes they say they feel forced to
4727s	use aoe or something so with something
4729s	like
4730s	a big aoe build where you just want to
4732s	go in and you just want to smop the
4734s	floor with everything and get out a lot
4736s	of the motivation to do that is because
4738s	say we release core prime you know
4740s	you're playing a lith relic so you know
4742s	you're going to be playing level 7
4744s	content and you're way more experienced
4746s	in the game so what we're doing to you
4749s	know give players a different option
4750s	that actually want to crack with relics
4752s	but with a bit of a challenge and you'll
4753s	still have the choice of choice of
4755s	course but if i go to navigation now
4756s	you're going to notice something we're
4758s	adding
4759s	so if i switch to uh steel path uh
4763s	we're adding void fissure steel path
4765s	mission so you can actually do your lith
4768s	relics at a higher difficulty uh so and
4770s	you'll also get steel essence for it and
4772s	the usual steel path things so if you
4775s	want to do your lith relics at the you
4777s	know base level level six to eight
4779s	you're still free to do so but you can
4781s	now actually do harder relic cracking if
4784s	you're so inclined and you'll get a
4785s	little bit of a plus for it which comes
4787s	in the form of steel essence and
4789s	anything else that uh this entails
4791s	because generally speaking if you've
4792s	played war from a long time and you know
4794s	those prime access cycles are coming um
4797s	you might not look forward to playing
4799s	that lift mission and i'm just picking
4800s	on lift you did nothing wrong but you're
4802s	just just accept being level 11 all you
4805s	did wrong was level so this is uh
4807s	another qol change that's coming with
4809s	bail breaker yeah the the main intention
4812s	here is like yeah like for a lot of a
4813s	lot of players it makes absolute sense
4816s	that if you have a bunch of mods and a
4818s	bunch of weapons and we ask you to go
4821s	and do a level 11 mission
4823s	you're not going to have a lot of fun
4825s	because it's so easy for you but you can
4827s	still do it if it is fun for you right
4828s	right you have the choice so you choose
4831s	whatever you want to do but it's
4832s	understandable that it that you're going
4834s	to try to min max it to the extreme
4837s	because you just want to get out of
4838s	there the fast as you can we understand
4841s	that so we want to give that this
4842s	alternative to you where you can get
4845s	some extra rewards for doing the
4847s	cracking of the relics that you were
4849s	going to do anyways and hopefully you'll
4851s	also find the the gameplay more
4854s	to your level and to your liking um when
4856s	you're doing those yes and acolytes
4858s	still spot it
4860s	yeah so one thing just relics yeah
4862s	that's it
4863s	um one minor thing on the mods that i
4866s	forgot to mention uh furious rates we're
4868s	also changing uh the futures rate uh
4870s	amalgam mod which has
4872s	essentially has in it uh increase of aoe
4875s	range which is such a valuable stat to
4878s	have in some random fury x mod uh that
4881s	one is gonna get changed uh right now i
4883s	think you believe it increases now fire
4885s	rate to secondary so that's what it
4887s	increases now if you find you know all
4889s	things aoe that's basically what we're
4891s	doing for sure
4893s	for the veil breaker updates and then
4894s	there's some other potential things
4895s	we're going to do
4897s	one of them is potentially adjust the
4900s	self-stagger so the first one would be
4903s	right now you put on prime shirt footed
4904s	you're good to go
4906s	yeah so to be clear that's where we end
4908s	with the changes we're done and i'm sure
4911s	i think none of them are too extreme i
4913s	think all of them are like on their own
4915s	they probably wouldn't move the needle
4917s	enough we're hoping that coming at this
4919s	from several angles a little bit at a
4922s	time makes it so it's not too painful
4923s	but it also actually makes a difference
4926s	but we also tried a few other things
4928s	that we're gonna keep on our back pocket
4929s	for now we're gonna save for a part two
4932s	uh if it's needed if it's needed because
4934s	we wanna see how this one's pan out
4936s	first
4937s	so i won't go into a lot of detail about
4939s	this once because but i do want you to
4941s	be aware that you know these are things
4943s	that might come that these are the
4944s	things that we try because i already saw
4946s	a couple in chat where where they were
4948s	asking like why didn't you do this well
4950s	so
4951s	i'll go over them kind of kind of fast
4954s	uh one is uh the fiction of aoe
4957s	generally has been you know if you
4958s	explode something in your face you'd get
4961s	some sort of consequence for it um
4963s	initially it was the damage then we
4965s	changed that to the stagger
4967s	and right now essentially that that
4969s	stagger that knockdown
4971s	gets removed with a mod that you can get
4973s	on day 400 which is prime sure footed
4976s	so we did experiment with changing that
4978s	one to either work like cautious shot
4980s	where it just downgrades the thing or
4982s	simply only work on enemy on enemy cc
4986s	we're not gonna release that right now
4988s	but it definitely is something that we
4989s	are considering uh if you saw that
4991s	initial video of the running around
4993s	shooting at your feet as you run around
4996s	because you can still do that you cannot
4998s	do it for as long because you run out of
4999s	ammo but you can still do that and it's
5002s	it is kind of weird
5003s	but anyways uh
5005s	he's going yeah
5006s	the other thing is line of sight uh
5008s	right now uh aoes can hit enemies
5011s	through any sort of line of sight not
5013s	happening in game yet these are things
5015s	we might do after we evaluate just to be
5017s	clear we want you to know where we are
5018s	that's the whole point of telling you
5020s	so the one we were trying with that is
5022s	essentially to make a line of sight
5024s	check that was a little more forgiving
5026s	so it has an initial area where it
5028s	doesn't check line of sight so if you
5030s	explode something right next to someone
5032s	they would still get destroyed so
5034s	basically kind of rewarding you aiming
5036s	in the general direction of the enemy
5039s	but if they were further than a certain
5040s	distance we would check los so that is
5043s	something that would work for something
5045s	similar to that other video where we're
5046s	like shooting at the floor right in
5048s	front of us and
5049s	enemies were killing on the we're dying
5051s	on the other side of the wall things
5052s	like that would be permitted like that
5055s	uh something that a lot of games do to
5057s	kind of combat this this sort of thing
5059s	is a drop by a system which is basically
5062s	to say if i kill enemies with an aoe the
5065s	ammo that drops is not for that weapon
5067s	is for a different weapon so it kind of
5070s	forces
5071s	the the ammo to go dry and it forces you
5074s	to go into your melee because now when
5076s	you kill with your melee you get ammo
5077s	for your aoe
5078s	a bunch of games do this it is pretty
5080s	effective we don't want to do it right
5082s	now
5083s	again we we're hoping that this initial
5085s	changes that we did will be
5087s	uh strong enough
5089s	um
5090s	and the fi well the final one doesn't
5092s	even make sense to explain because i
5093s	didn't explain how mutation is going to
5095s	work but stuff without me yeah so the
5097s	first three sort of are the the state of
5100s	weapon balance and bail breaker and
5101s	what's coming so not only do we have the
5104s	ammo simplification the uh headshot
5107s	reduction for aoe or elimination for aoe
5109s	but buffs for single targets and then
5111s	prime firestorm is essentially
5114s	being changed to still prime mod trends
5117s	but not the three times which is an
5119s	outlier and like we said we know that
5120s	was a mistake but that is the overview
5122s	in the context of aoe but we have a
5124s	slide here that we're blocking but if
5126s	you wanted to take a screenshot this
5127s	could be the uh version of it that you
5130s	take and then i just quickly want to go
5132s	to wukong and just to talk about how as
5134s	a warframe wukong
5136s	takes everything we just talked about
5138s	with aoe and our philosophy which is
5140s	automation
5142s	is it dominant or is it disrupting other
5144s	players and is a perfect case study and
5146s	all that and we are going to be making
5147s	some tweaks to wukong i think we'll just
5149s	roll my video of me playing on the live
5151s	build
5152s	just so you can take a quick look at
5154s	what
5155s	you can currently do with wukong which
5157s	is
5158s	actually something you can't do as a
5160s	player so this is where it all comes in
5162s	so right now i have my wukong out i have
5165s	he has the kuva brahma my celestial twin
5168s	is out there
5169s	and he doesn't need ammo
5170s	so he can do things that i simply cannot
5173s	do which is he can use the kuva brahma
5177s	like well i guess i could have i used an
5179s	ammo restore but just practically
5181s	speaking he's just going for it ammo not
5185s	a care in the world uh and he's uh
5188s	automating the game for me which you
5190s	know you should celestial twin is meant
5191s	to be your second in command he does a
5193s	lot of damage this is okay but we're
5195s	making changes yeah so the we're mostly
5198s	focusing on that first ability uh which
5201s	as you can see here is pretty powerful
5203s	uh the main change so
5206s	first of all we're having this damage so
5207s	right now he copies exactly the damage
5210s	that you would do which in retrospect
5212s	it's it's always been too high so we cut
5215s	in half but we also increase the damage
5217s	if you mark a target which some people
5219s	might not even know you could do because
5220s	why bother but you can mark targets with
5222s	wukong's
5223s	celestial twin if you mark a target then
5226s	the the
5227s	the cool clone who will focus on that
5229s	enemy and will deal extra damage now he
5232s	deals even more damage to that one enemy
5234s	so
5234s	basically it's rewarding an active uh
5237s	playstyle where you're actually telling
5239s	him what to do
5241s	generally you only want to do that for
5242s	like if you see um if you see an exymos
5245s	or if you get an acolyte things like
5247s	that is where you want to use it
5249s	the other change we did is that he now
5251s	actually uses your ammo so that means
5254s	you can no longer stand there and just
5256s	watch him do the thing
5257s	testers actually try this and basically
5259s	you can feed him ammo so you can be
5262s	around killing enemies
5265s	with your melee get some ammo for your
5266s	clone and you can keep feeding him so he
5268s	can still work but again you have to
5271s	play it's it's all about making it so
5273s	it's not all automated um
5276s	and the last change is that he now
5278s	actually is affected by by the explosion
5281s	so he now will get staggered he will get
5283s	all that now in practice most players
5286s	that uh that have wukon will also
5289s	come with prime sure footage so
5291s	he inherits your loadout in that respect
5293s	so so that last change is almost like a
5295s	a non-change if you're already putting
5297s	firearm pressure but there if that's
5299s	that's uh but we are buffing his four
5301s	yeah from reading a lot of like you know
5303s	i was reading a lot of like posts and
5305s	stuff of what people expected to change
5306s	with wukong after i mentioned in in
5308s	twitter that i was going to change them
5310s	uh a lot of people expected nerves to
5312s	his one which i just told you what they
5314s	are nervous to do and that's where i'm
5317s	gonna subvert expectations wow
5320s	watch out yeah watch out uh and we're
5323s	not gonna change his too uh essentially
5326s	going back to those sort of like
5328s	the pillars of why nerf things
5330s	uh we feel his tool is not it's not
5332s	something that you'd automate it's not
5333s	something that's disrupted to other
5335s	players is it a bit dominant i think
5337s	it's a little bit darker because it was
5338s	really fast but it is a lot of fun and
5340s	when we were thinking about okay how
5342s	could we kind of control these two
5344s	it really felt like when we nerfed that
5347s	we would be nerfing fun and we really
5349s	didn't want to do that
5351s	where we feel like we need to reserve
5354s	those sorts of changes for
5356s	automation disruption uh etcetera
5358s	etcetera uh so he's two is untouched
5360s	he's fourth uh he's getting a buff
5362s	essentially he's getting a little more
5364s	base damage on it we're not fully
5366s	restoring but adding a little bit of the
5369s	range growth with the combo
5371s	is not as huge as it was before but it
5373s	still gives you i think up to like 3.5
5376s	meters something like that so more than
5377s	a prime stretch
5379s	uh and we're also adding at the end of
5381s	his uh forward combo
5383s	uh where he does like a stump on the
5385s	floor uh he'll do a little vortex to
5387s	pull enemies to you kind of customize
5389s	the theme of the stream
5395s	if you didn't like vortexes before you
5398s	may like them now
5400s	yeah so that's those are uh those are
5402s	the changes
5404s	right so i'm going to take a pivot now
5406s	to talk about veil breaker uh as new
5409s	content so what we've talked about so
5411s	far is all things balance changes we
5413s	showed styanx but now i wanted to
5416s	actually
5417s	show some of the other bits and pieces
5419s	that are coming with
5421s	veil breaker there's going to be lots of
5423s	questions i'm sure we will have full
5424s	patch notes up when we release uh and we
5426s	i know we're like running really over so
5428s	i'm just gonna it's only 3 25. why don't
5430s	we do a platinum
5437s	i did warn them that they would hear me
5439s	around for a while yeah
5440s	and actually we
5442s	you've used up all your uh vocal creds
5445s	of course
5446s	you're done
5447s	to summarize jailbreaker thank you 50
5450s	less animations great who won can you
5452s	read it oh t3 kkkii
5456s	congratulations please whisper the
5457s	warfare and twitch channel you're
5458s	watching right now with your in-game
5459s	aliens platform playboy from get you a
5461s	thousand
5466s	[Music]
5470s	indeed we are and for veil breaker we
5473s	have cosmetics coming of course we have
5474s	the long awaited uh
5476s	more releases for void shell which
5478s	through lots of experimentation this
5480s	year we started with the batch of three
5482s	and now we're actually going to release
5483s	four more in this update so dean if you
5485s	feel so inclined you can come on over to
5487s	my screen what do you think my colors
5489s	there carrie
5490s	i
5491s	i
5492s	i don't naturally always channel jeff
5494s	but there i can understand where he
5496s	comes from
5498s	remember when steve said that like as
5500s	you age your eyes don't have the ability
5502s	to take in saturation the way that they
5504s	used to
5505s	this is running contrary to that
5507s	interesting i'm highly saturating your
5509s	eyes then but of course uh we will be
5511s	adding some more void shell skins with
5513s	the update we're gonna have nova
5514s	excalibur wukong hilariously um so you
5517s	know if you're not too upset by the
5519s	changes maybe slap a skin there you go
5522s	and then stay in acts as well so that's
5523s	four coming in this update uh my nova
5525s	looks perfect no no feedback no notes
5528s	[Music]
5530s	well actually no okay you're done
5532s	uh and we are adding a new ephemera as
5534s	well so we'll have the fog of war
5536s	ephemera so this will be um one which
5538s	again it hides the saturation so maybe
5542s	you approve this sure does yeah i saw
5543s	someone asking for helmets it doesn't
5545s	remove the layering but it does yeah
5547s	oh the helmet oh um yes i can do that uh
5551s	let me just see i don't think it has the
5553s	proper uh icon yet so i actually have to
5554s	read them there you go yeah
5556s	so there you go i can
5558s	maybe i'll swap some colors just for the
5559s	the blessing of the christmas
5562s	anyway and there will be new uh
5564s	materials coming as well material
5565s	structures so that's correct
5569s	uh nova and wukong will get void shells
5571s	for bail breaker and then if you have
5574s	good taste you'll know that what you
5576s	tell me
5577s	tortilla my colors oh
5583s	you might have spied it in the trailer
5584s	we showed it alive but tortilla deluxe
5586s	the kali dress kali dress
5590s	that's the host's job
5592s	about how you pronounce it not in my
5593s	business i pronounce it uh the deluxe
5595s	collection calendrius calidrius uh this
5598s	is coming with bailbreaker she also has
5601s	i believe a
5602s	throwing throwing bombs throwing palm
5605s	skin
5606s	and the top horse skin as well
5609s	i love this skin
5610s	the skin is and this is actually um we
5612s	contracted a uh like a straight asterisk
5615s	who is just a player like no like any
5617s	other but also has a you know a penchant
5620s	to do amazing arts um actually came up
5622s	with the protea deluxe skin and we
5624s	worked with them like this concept came
5625s	from the community and then um yeah the
5629s	just incredible i'm actually going to
5630s	leave i don't know if i have that
5631s	ephemera bug or
5633s	i must no yeah i'm going to go out and
5635s	back in so you don't see my green
5638s	stink lines but
5640s	yeah so this is uh also coming in veil
5642s	breaker finally
5647s	that you got to go i mean that's that's
5649s	uh orange and blue orange and blue and
5651s	everybody loves that right yeah well
5652s	done randomized yeah and this is one of
5654s	the first time we had a had to add like
5656s	a feather
5657s	yeah that's right so this has a whole
5660s	bunch of new tech in it as far as yes
5663s	yes it does character building goes
5665s	yeah we have uh we have some more um
5670s	advanced
5671s	techniques for rendering feathers and
5673s	and hair so we're still it's still um
5677s	there's more stuff coming for sure so it
5679s	gives us just gives our team more tools
5682s	to make a lot of varied materials and
5684s	obviously the skin in particular is a
5686s	good example of that so yeah yes nothing
5688s	goes wrong with layered transparency
5690s	right yeah no complications whatsoever i
5693s	do remember seeing in the art channel
5694s	when when this was first shown it was
5697s	like oh can we start adding this
5699s	everyone
5705s	deluxe skins you can mix and match with
5707s	the existing uh you know helmet helmet
5710s	uh options
5712s	excellent
5713s	all right so that is tortilla that is
5715s	for two i think it's time for a little
5717s	bail breaking uh
5720s	nod to i don't know
5721s	bail breaker right so uh with
5724s	failbreaker it takes us in a post-new
5726s	war world where you will find yourself
5728s	if you finish the new war you're going
5730s	to have a quest and this is when we're
5731s	going to get into like some devs you
5733s	know dev showcase stuff so you never
5734s	know what's going to happen and it is
5736s	the dev bill but there will be a quest
5737s	available in your codex failbreaker will
5739s	be there for you and once you complete
5742s	it your world state is gonna change a
5744s	little bit so the new war has happened
5745s	the tenno has resolved what they've
5747s	resolved and now it's time to push
5749s	things forward with bailbreaker and
5751s	after you finish the bailbreaker quest a
5752s	couple things are gonna change for you
5754s	uh first is you may have a new
5757s	visitor
5758s	uh if you will
5760s	like a roommate a roommate if you will
5762s	in your uh actual drifters camp so in
5766s	this setting uh dean i'm just gonna have
5768s	you pop away for a second maybe meg can
5770s	fill the air time for a second or two
5771s	while i get this set up i love filling
5773s	air time
5774s	as part of bail breaker as well that
5776s	when you're doing the quest again reb
5777s	mentioned at the beginning it is a
5778s	smaller quest i'm just kind of
5780s	continuing a little bit of the new war
5782s	and call story but you're going to get a
5784s	little um conversation with daughter she
5786s	might have a part to play
5789s	indeed so if you come back to my uh game
5792s	play here dean um
5794s	if you've decorated your drifters area
5798s	you might need to move some stuff around
5799s	this is a friendly warning that um there
5802s	are some uh
5804s	there might be some people moving and
5806s	and this is going to lead to um the
5808s	kickoff of the new systems we're adding
5811s	so the first system pertains
5812s	specifically to this character you see
5814s	here you may know him as call and he's
5817s	going to have uh he has a purpose and he
5820s	has a goal after the new war and
5822s	everything that happened so you'll be
5824s	experiencing a once a week narrative
5826s	from his perspective of what he wants to
5828s	do and you'll be sort of cycling through
5830s	that once a week there will be something
5831s	for you to play we're going to rotate
5832s	through i think we're starting with
5833s	three um so three weeks you'll be going
5836s	through and every time you play one
5838s	perhaps he's going to gain a following
5840s	or his mission is going to you know push
5842s	further so this area that you see here
5844s	will grow you'll meet some people you
5847s	may wonder who chipper is this is a
5848s	never before seen person that might have
5851s	aligned goals
5852s	and call is here call is waiting and of
5855s	course like any you know any fun system
5858s	we have
5860s	call only get one uniform yeah call is
5863s	here to uh
5864s	you know you can you can do some things
5866s	to make your call look the way he would
5868s	uh and then you can go out and play your
5870s	your call weekly mission uh and then you
5873s	know very important part of anyone
5875s	that's undergone extreme trauma uh in
5878s	terms of bringing it back with style is
5880s	eye patches
5882s	so we have some um some concepts as well
5884s	that we're going to show here that uh
5886s	undertake what uh just the different
5888s	level of customizations that call will
5889s	have so i think we have a
5891s	a uh an eyepatch asset dean perhaps
5895s	did we lose dean to the long dev stream
5900s	all right
5901s	but yeah so of course if you want to
5903s	get your metal gear solid kicks in we
5906s	have the perfect firm request from
5908s	somebody that's interesting
5914s	mystery request for the
5916s	you know coolest eye patches you can
5917s	have but yeah you can really um make
5919s	your call your own and he has a purpose
5921s	a mission and that'll all be unveiled in
5923s	unveiled oh god
5925s	there it is i was waiting for the moment
5928s	so yes so we'll take a small clip of a
5930s	dev build um gameplay just to give
5932s	people a look into what call might be
5934s	going through so this is dev build uh
5937s	whips but call has found himself
5939s	somewhere that you might recognize he
5941s	managed to get a jet pack and he must
5942s	free his uh his brother here so this um
5946s	whole
5947s	uh fiction and everywhere you're gonna
5948s	go with call is going to involve
5951s	what is he going to do against the
5952s	sentience and what can he as one grineer
5954s	alone do well as he rescues his brothers
5957s	he'll find that he has the power to
5960s	you know command them and get them to do
5961s	different things carrie your art
5964s	sensibilities are going to tingle
5965s	because i'm actually showing something
5966s	placeholder here but there's secrets and
5968s	little things that you're going to want
5969s	to uncover to push that call weekly
5972s	mission forward so you can earn things
5974s	to shop in you know maybe this new
5976s	character back over here on the gameplay
5978s	side um
5980s	this character on my screen here dean uh
5982s	might have some things for you to grab
5984s	uh week over week uh depending on how
5986s	far you advance every time you do a call
5988s	weekly you'll push the call garrison
5990s	forward and this is where stein acts
5992s	will be for the free path once we're
5994s	done with his campaign and once we're
5996s	done um you know you you know don't get
5999s	it for free for those two weeks anymore
6000s	steinax will be here we'll have
6002s	cosmetics for call in here and we're
6004s	going to have a couple other things that
6005s	we're going to talk about because
6006s	of course uh once you've uh actually you
6009s	can see my ship there it doesn't really
6011s	fit but it does not but it looks cute
6014s	once you've once call has you know his
6017s	veil breaking quest resolved
6019s	uh he found some intel and he might know
6022s	something that you don't from a
6023s	different perspective and it's for that
6025s	reason that um
6027s	we're going to introduce archon hunts
6029s	which is the warframe gameplay for vale
6031s	breaker the warframe system um
6034s	which essentially once you've got the
6037s	quest complete which is a shorter quest
6038s	for a veil breaker you're going to
6040s	unlock something called archon hunts and
6042s	these are a weekly system for players
6044s	that every week you're going to get the
6046s	intel on a new archon that has a new you
6049s	know tweaked look for the post new war
6052s	world and there's going to be new lore
6054s	and new stakes for you as a player to go
6056s	through these so you'll hear from some
6058s	characters maybe i have a voice
6059s	recording session monday who's to say uh
6062s	how much is there and then you're going
6064s	to do a mission in this section of
6067s	gameplay content that will always amount
6070s	to a showdown with an rcon and these are
6073s	our
6074s	version of content that we really want
6076s	you to think about what loadout you're
6077s	going to bring and how you're going to
6078s	play it in a co-op setting so we have
6080s	some restrictions just to change it up
6082s	these are weekly so if you can't do it
6083s	the first day you have all week to try
6085s	and you know refine your build whatever
6087s	troubles you're having maybe get a squad
6089s	to help you but you'll get bonuses for
6092s	certain gear and then there's also
6093s	restrictions where respawns you can't
6095s	self-revive really co-op reviving is the
6098s	only way to stay alive so if you get
6100s	down you better hope you're sticking
6101s	with your squad so that you can all stay
6103s	together advance together through the
6105s	mission and then consumables uh similar
6107s	to steel path they have a cooldown so
6110s	same idea as steel path
6111s	these are weekly
6113s	and then they end with that fight
6115s	against the given archon of the week you
6117s	can absolutely do them solo it doesn't
6119s	have to be co-op but as with all things
6121s	in our game totally possible so solo but
6125s	they are tough
6126s	and they are meant to be tough missions
6128s	so uh
6129s	yeah well okay so if you
6132s	if you played when you were you know by
6134s	the time you get to
6135s	fight arkham's with your warframe yeah
6138s	maybe it was a little anticlimactic
6140s	there's a new new flow new mechanics for
6142s	the final boss fight uh the archon hunt
6144s	itself so you'll be going in you'll have
6146s	to discover how to get through where
6148s	they are
6149s	shake them out there's new mechanics
6150s	there um it's not uh
6152s	just the drifter versus our con newer
6155s	stuff it is different it has a twist we
6157s	don't do spoilers but it will be
6159s	different
6160s	but it is meant to be it is meant to be
6163s	more on the punishing side it's not you
6165s	know it's mega better yeah
6168s	we want to see what we can do with
6169s	challenge that's pretty much it it's a
6171s	really that word will trigger a lot of
6172s	different reactions but we want to try
6174s	different things and that's what bail
6176s	breaker is about so these boss fights at
6177s	the end uh you'll have to take a look at
6180s	them and see for yourself where they go
6181s	and every week a new one will appear for
6182s	you and you're going to get something
6184s	new
6185s	you'll probably see on my screen
6187s	something called the azure archon shard
6190s	which is a new system we're adding for
6193s	uh upgrades for players so every week if
6195s	you do your uh archon hunt you will earn
6199s	the corresponding archon shard which
6201s	when you're done the quest you'll have
6203s	the necessary
6205s	equipment to use it which means that
6207s	your helmet is getting more use and
6209s	archon shards as a system are an upgrade
6212s	system for your a given warframe so you
6215s	can use your azure shard or if you're
6216s	lucky you have a 20 chance to get a tau
6218s	forged one
6219s	uh and your arkhan shards will be
6222s	installed in a given warframe you have
6225s	five shard slots which you can put your
6227s	shards in so for me um i have my protea
6230s	here who i love dearly and pablo if you
6232s	want to talk a bit more about this
6233s	system
6235s	yeah essentially it's a way to kind of
6238s	focus on like the the
6240s	frames that you really want to buff even
6243s	more the ones you want to take to the
6244s	very extreme basically you can select
6246s	from three different crystals and they
6249s	also they have the the tau forged
6250s	versions which are a little stronger
6252s	um so
6254s	you can select them and then from that
6256s	will give you a selection between
6257s	different buffs that you can get from
6259s	those gems
6261s	so in this case you can increase the
6262s	health of your protea you can give them
6264s	some shield as you can see the tower
6266s	forge gives it a little a little extra
6268s	bonus some more energy essentially you
6271s	can
6271s	kind of oomph your
6274s	your preferred frames to get them uh and
6276s	the
6277s	also the the gems if you well the shards
6280s	if you decide to they can be um
6283s	they can be moved so you're not like
6284s	fully committed you can take them out
6286s	using
6287s	um basically hellmann's resources yeah
6290s	and just to be clear these are permanent
6292s	stat upgrades that your given warframe
6294s	would have so if i love my protea and i
6296s	did my weekly arc on hunts i can now
6299s	permanently increase a specific stat
6301s	depending on which chart i have so as
6303s	you fight
6304s	amar you'll get the crimson shards from
6306s	ammar you'll get the amber shards from
6308s	nera and you'll get the azure shards
6310s	from boreal and these are permanent
6312s	stats
6313s	that you can
6315s	apply to a given warframe yeah and
6318s	generally speaking the the red one is
6320s	offensive stuff uh
6322s	or attack stuff
6324s	uh then the yellow is utility and then
6327s	the blue is well what you're seeing here
6329s	which is more on the defensive uh
6332s	defensive side of things so you have a
6334s	limit of five archon uh shard slots per
6337s	frame um and you can
6339s	put them in so you'll be earning these
6340s	at the rate of one a week and you'll be
6342s	able to kind of decide which frame you
6343s	really want to invest in and they they
6345s	well do they stack so if i had five blue
6348s	shards or azure shards in this case i
6350s	could put five all for armor yeah so
6353s	spoiling a little bit from the yellow
6355s	for example the yellow you can get um
6357s	extra bonus from energy pickups so if
6361s	you put five of those you can almost
6363s	replace uh energize with that so you
6366s	basically could kind of free you up your
6367s	your
6369s	your arcane slot uh and basically you
6371s	can kind of pick and choose which frame
6373s	you want to go with the ones that are
6375s	attack based which ones would you want
6376s	to go utility which ones you prefer the
6379s	fence
6380s	um
6381s	yeah yeah removing a star shard doesn't
6383s	destroy it so say in the case of a frame
6385s	that doesn't have a prime if you've put
6386s	all these shards in that frame and the
6388s	prime comes out you'll be able to get it
6390s	back there will be a little bit of
6391s	friction right now it's using a helmet
6393s	resource so that's still under review
6395s	for what we're going to do there but we
6396s	know that um
6397s	people who have invested in frames may
6399s	want to change their mind so we are
6401s	going to
6402s	let you move those around yep
6404s	uh and and the only other note is uh
6407s	well i don't know if i say it's but in
6409s	caster we will stuck
6410s	[Music]
6412s	yeah so uh there will be shards
6413s	available it's not just through the uh
6415s	weekly archon hunts where you're going
6417s	to be doing that final boss fight with
6419s	an rcon to take their shard but colin
6421s	might have got one or two things up his
6422s	sleeve so we're gonna you can kind of
6423s	engage with both systems to get yourself
6426s	those particular upgrades yeah so for
6429s	veil breaker we have steinax we have
6431s	call with his veil breaking weeklies we
6433s	have uh the arkhan hunts which are
6436s	predicated by playing through the veil
6438s	breaker kickoff and then you'll be kind
6440s	of on your way to explore all the
6442s	quality of life changes we have tons of
6443s	new skins we have tons
6446s	like more qol than i think we even
6447s	covered on this stream and we're already
6449s	running you know what else do we have
6451s	there oh yeah yeah so we talked about
6453s	all of that augmented buffs are coming
6454s	as well
6456s	yeah we're doing part two we're doing l
6458s	to r i believe stopping at rhino looking
6460s	at a few we'll do obviously uh uh you
6462s	know a part three but we wanted to look
6464s	at a few you talked about armor changes
6466s	in terms of uh stripping from
6469s	enemies with abilities so that's good
6471s	artists my my friendly artists who came
6474s	here you can talk about last gasp
6476s	because i see that we forgot to talk
6477s	about that yeah so last guess i'll just
6479s	go over super quickly
6481s	kerry
6487s	um basically uh it's gonna instead of
6489s	the meter starting at 50 it's going to
6491s	start at zero percent but there's going
6493s	to be no initial drain instead the
6495s	initial drain will start after a few
6496s	seconds and then actually killing xmas
6498s	units is going to refill that meter
6501s	completely and killing enemies is going
6502s	to fill a meter by a third each time
6505s	yeah it feels fast like it fills out the
6508s	the meter faster and you don't have that
6510s	initial like you know before it started
6512s	half and immediately started to drain so
6514s	you almost felt like you were like it
6517s	you felt like you were falling behind
6518s	immediately this gives you a little bit
6521s	of time to like come up uh start killing
6523s	and then
6524s	come back i feel it's it is easier to
6527s	come back with it and also we did a lot
6529s	of changes to the presentation it looks
6531s	much nicer it has less um
6534s	less pops and stuff in there yeah got a
6536s	little bit of an animation buff i think
6537s	we got everything well
6539s	is there anything you guys want to say
6540s	about art because i have sort of like a
6542s	wrap-up state of ongoing things because
6544s	as i'm sure chad has noticed we are a
6547s	different group up here now and
6548s	obviously at 10 economy now some team
6550s	changes so all of us have been working
6552s	on warframe for at least ten years or
6554s	nine to ten years i think absolutely so
6556s	we we all we yeah we're all relatively
6558s	day one carrie your zephyr skin has
6560s	never seen the light of day what do you
6561s	really have yeah yeah what's gonna
6563s	happen there let's list it off let's
6565s	bring it back well we we have a lot of
6567s	awesome people on the team so that
6568s	should be able to see the light of day
6570s	someday yeah and if you i don't even
6571s	know what you would google to see that
6572s	but it was devstream seven no i don't
6574s	even know what dev stream you showed it
6575s	on but you know it was a got an art
6576s	panel and jeff has incessantly brought
6578s	that up over years is ever cool and now
6580s	i'm doing that it's great really good
6583s	no regrets no regrets yeah a lot of new
6586s	faces uh but same old faces as well so
6589s	um we are quite our our team has uh at
6591s	least uh the character team has grown in
6593s	the past few months uh definitely so
6595s	um only
6597s	better greater things and we're working
6599s	on improving a lot of our
6601s	our techniques and materials and all
6603s	that stuff so even on the on aesthetics
6605s	end i think a lot of good things to look
6606s	forward to absolutely
6609s	um so a lot of the new folks like jumped
6611s	in right going into tennocon and were
6612s	able to yeah you know help get us over
6614s	those last hurdles so things seem to be
6616s	coming together really well i think so
6618s	yeah gotta stay positive correct i mean
6620s	we have like years of stuff to catch
6622s	players up on and for a long time we've
6624s	been talking about uh cross play trials
6627s	and these things and i just kind of
6628s	wanted to get now that we have a new
6630s	team structure and you know we're
6632s	working with a really experienced
6633s	warframe team i just kind of wanted to
6635s	give the latest news on everything that
6637s	you might have been waiting for word on
6639s	year over year just from my current
6641s	point of view so pablo's looking at me
6642s	was like what the hell are you going to
6644s	say about raids and trials but it's my
6646s	turn to surprise you i think pablo
6648s	himself
6650s	no but i wanted to talk about cosplay
6652s	cross save raids trials just general
6654s	talking
6655s	points for things that if you've been
6657s	with the warframe community for a long
6658s	time usually steve would say something
6660s	about these things and now i'm going to
6662s	i'm going to give you where things are
6664s	and what we're going to do
6665s	first of all i'm going to talk about
6666s	raids and trials this is something that
6669s	i
6670s	you know played back in the day megan
6672s	and i the team and we i think earlier in
6675s	the year we talked about wanting to
6676s	bring them back but we're not going to
6678s	talk about this or have anything to
6679s	share until our veil breaker objectives
6682s	are complete and our duvery paradox
6683s	content is complete so don't expect to
6686s	hear about those for a little bit we
6687s	still care about them deeply and we
6689s	think that they are an interesting thing
6690s	to try and explore but there's nothing
6692s	to share about it
6694s	until we bring you news basically so
6696s	i'd rather be honest about that and we
6698s	have a we have a lot of stuff to do so i
6700s	don't want it to be a
6702s	you know a continuous thing that you
6703s	might expect to hear about on the next
6705s	dev stream because you won't
6706s	yeah we discuss them a little bit we
6708s	took a look at some of the existing
6710s	stuff and just got to
6712s	get uh some bearings about like okay
6714s	where is this what what could we
6716s	actually do and essentially
6719s	the the answer is
6720s	we cannot
6722s	look at this until next year because
6724s	this year we just have too much already
6725s	so that's that's but yeah
6728s	there maybe is something we could talk
6730s	about this year and that's cross-play so
6731s	that is an engineering feat that we have
6733s	wanted to you know all these systems
6735s	we're adding it'd be nice if you had a
6736s	bigger pool of players to play with
6738s	across all platforms and we are like we
6740s	said at tennocon in the testing phase of
6742s	kicking off something for cross play
6744s	which we will announce the full
6745s	community details of uh pretty soon so
6748s	that you know what to expect because
6749s	this is very much a test the tech and
6752s	we've got to test it live so we'll have
6754s	extremely organized tests for cross play
6756s	uh like we mentioned at tennocon like i
6759s	said again we are getting close and once
6762s	crossplay is in a spot where we feel
6763s	like we can turn it on uh cross save
6766s	work will follow so that's the order of
6768s	operations there uh it is one of the big
6770s	actually i would say it's the biggest
6771s	priority for the bulk of the team in
6775s	terms of tech for warframe right now so
6776s	where steve would usually tell you
6778s	something about deferred rent oh all of
6779s	the updates with their engine and
6780s	deferred rendering and what does that
6781s	mean if you can't run deferred that'll
6783s	come in future dev streams but from a
6785s	tech point of view it's really the
6786s	biggest priority and um we're really
6788s	hoping to we want to get it right so
6790s	yeah we don't want you to lose your
6792s	accounts in the metaverse because oh my
6795s	goodness
6796s	zuckerberg to steal your account all
6798s	right we have to be really careful so
6800s	you know
6801s	if would it really be like a creative
6802s	director thing if i don't say something
6803s	that could get us in trouble
6812s	[Laughter]
6815s	[Music]
6819s	everyone just stay calm mark zuckerberg
6821s	is not going to steal your account um
6822s	and then i think just the other general
6824s	thing oh prime resurgence we will have
6827s	more news about that system as well that
6828s	was something we launched last year as a
6830s	prime vault test replacement and the
6832s	team has put a lot of effort into what
6834s	it could look like and there will be
6835s	full announcements on that i just wanted
6836s	to acknowledge it because i see a lot of
6837s	questions about it and then i think the
6839s	last thing is just sort of an overview
6841s	talking point on the test cluster when
6844s	covid started we were all at home we're
6846s	like how are we gonna work with this and
6848s	we kicked off the
6849s	semi-public test cluster which uh was
6852s	great and it worked well it was a lot
6854s	more work than we expected it was still
6856s	good it got good results and then we
6857s	started simul shipping and if you're
6859s	tracking on a calendar when the public
6861s	test stuff started to wind down and when
6864s	we started doing coordinated releases
6866s	across all platforms there's a very
6868s	clear correlation between when one ended
6870s	and one began
6871s	and for that reason i'm still looking
6873s	into a way to try and use it but that
6875s	doesn't override the very meticulous
6877s	planning we have to do with our builds
6878s	to have a simultaneous release for all
6880s	players uh i don't want this to sound
6882s	like an excuse it's not it's literally a
6884s	logistics problem and a lot of players
6886s	are probably going to wonder like why
6887s	aren't you using the
6888s	public test cluster for these aoe
6890s	changes and stuff and it's a logistic
6892s	issue to have any updates this year we
6894s	have to decide how we can bring this
6896s	back in with our new methodology for
6898s	actually releasing and deploying builds
6899s	across all platforms so
6901s	looking into it trying to plan
6904s	if things were perfect we could do it
6905s	every time but the reality is
6908s	it's very now that i'm sitting in this
6910s	side of the chair it's very hard but
6912s	because this is something that we kicked
6914s	off as a team
6915s	during covid and we liked it it's still
6918s	something that we want to do but we also
6919s	know that there are a million reasons
6921s	now why we can't yeah the needs of
6924s	simultaneous ship across
6926s	all the different
6928s	consoles on the different platforms and
6930s	the needs of the test cluster go like
6932s	kind of directly against each other um
6935s	and
6936s	they're what lives on top of
6939s	simultaneous ship is crossplay and
6941s	crossing right yes if you don't have
6942s	something to ship this cosplay and
6944s	crosstalk do not work so we need to keep
6947s	doing that
6948s	so that gets us into this problem we
6951s	really for this one as you saw from the
6953s	gigantic list of changes we since it
6956s	wasn't like just one change it was a
6958s	whole bunch of things we would have
6959s	loved to be able to do a test cluster uh
6962s	but
6963s	that would have just meant that then
6964s	simultaneously yeah there's no explainer
6967s	we accrue all of these things when we
6968s	try new things all the time and it's
6970s	like what about this what about that and
6971s	then you start to realize like well in
6972s	order to get anything done we need to
6974s	make some choices and as your new
6976s	creative director i'm going to try and
6978s	make the best choices for the community
6980s	in the game sometimes you might not
6982s	agree with me i hope for the most time
6983s	you can at least understand my reasoning
6985s	and i'll be happy but in this case for
6987s	cross-play and cross-safe stuff to
6988s	happen there that simultaneous ship had
6990s	to happen and those are the types of
6992s	decisions that push the entire community
6994s	forward uh and all things considered we
6997s	do hotfix a lot and after these changes
7000s	that we outlined in the stream are in
7001s	your hands we will continue to do just
7004s	that uh we're going to be evaluating
7006s	closely we have a lot of stats and data
7008s	and of course player feedback that's
7009s	going to come into the equation so
7011s	that's where we're going to be with veil
7012s	breaker and it is a huge update it has
7014s	everything we've shown today
7016s	uh and those uh archon fights will be
7018s	waiting for you with your you know maybe
7020s	your your best gear your worst gear
7022s	whatever you want to throw at it you can
7024s	figure it out you have a week to do it
7025s	every week before it
7026s	clicks over to the next hunt so yeah
7029s	that's kind of the veil breaker depth
7030s	stream the longest step stream oh my god
7032s	almost two weeks have we hit her up
7035s	sinking into my house
7038s	that sweater was a bad choice megan
7040s	those are brilliant yeah i actually
7042s	thought about that i thought about the
7043s	you know the professional setup and the
7045s	lights and i thought i should not wear a
7046s	hoodie i should definitely just wear a
7047s	shirt because
7048s	yeah it gets sweaty in here is that
7050s	everything that is everything
7052s	it's not everything
7056s	what
7057s	a skin oh the science dianex void shell
7060s	no
7062s	there's a skin we haven't shown
7066s	and a concept we showed the key area
7069s	for portilla yeah oh show the cure
7073s	all of us are like what the hell is this
7075s	wow
7081s	yeah
7082s	and then yeah the concept art is like
7084s	what i was talking about um way back in
7086s	the day we commissioned asterix to do
7088s	this incredible protea deluxe concept
7090s	art and from that the team was able to
7093s	create the skin actually this is
7094s	hilarious that everyone in chat thought
7095s	dean was gonna do a little trick and
7097s	show us the zaku deluxe skin which
7100s	this is the perfect ending because the
7101s	art team gets to talk oh boy exactly
7103s	looks eh
7104s	yeah uh that's some progress
7108s	in progress yep things are happening uh
7110s	but yeah actually honestly we have you
7112s	know being able to add so many
7114s	more fresh new faces into our team we're
7117s	able to look at the long-term schedule
7118s	and really
7119s	uh i think we feel confident hitting
7121s	those marks of
7123s	have all these deluxes coming in and the
7125s	void shelves are really taking a life of
7126s	their own and so it's really refreshing
7128s	to have
7129s	um you know um
7131s	a team to be able to support that so uh
7133s	yeah and of course warframe on the new
7135s	management um
7137s	uh let's burn it all down
7140s	no no i think it's uh it's really really
7142s	exciting i think uh can we say when
7144s	we're planning to release zaku deluxe do
7146s	you know i i i think i know am i allowed
7149s	to say why not i think i think the last
7151s	time uh
7153s	the last conversations we had on in our
7156s	internal trackers or maybe
7159s	that's for internal i think is it that
7161s	is that of internal yeah
7163s	yeah so that would be probably right say
7165s	whatever you want it's a dev stream no
7166s	one there's no rules
7167s	after forgiveness not permission it's
7169s	not coming out in october yeah yeah i
7171s	don't think it's coming in october but
7172s	it's you know they're well they're well
7174s	on their way i think now so they're
7176s	they're in really good hands
7177s	and um
7179s	can we say before the end of the year
7180s	probably not right oh yeah possibly yeah
7182s	yeah dude probably i mean it's it's
7184s	anything can happen yeah another
7185s	significant update that would be coming
7187s	out this year yeah this might go away i
7189s	was going to say a veil breaker looks
7190s	like it's a it's kind of incredible that
7193s	this is able to get shipped right on the
7195s	heels of tanaka but that's that's always
7196s	the case isn't it where it's always
7199s	gains time and magic happens exactly
7201s	yeah the magic
7204s	we're like we got lots of work to do but
7206s	uh the team is obviously the one
7207s	bringing everything to the table that we
7208s	showed you today so we're just here to
7210s	show off their work and get it get it in
7212s	your hands tenno and we'll keep you
7214s	you know appraised of anything that is
7216s	relevant
7218s	confident there will be extensive

7344s	only three minutes left three minutes
7345s	left
7346s	tell us your favorite environment
7347s	because your history with the game is
7350s	varied
7351s	varied you've worked on a lot of uh art
7354s	what's your favorite art my favorite art
7357s	good lord
7361s	memorable and most favorite are two
7363s	different things
7364s	favorite let's keep it okay yeah
7366s	not the four o'clock in the morning
7367s	finish on the so my part one right okay
7369s	yep good times um
7372s	i mean everybody always says like when
7373s	the doors opened up poe right yeah i
7376s	mean it's kind of cliche but that one's
7378s	a bit of a given really so yeah i just
7380s	switched into the environment roll a few
7381s	months beforehand so that was kind of
7383s	like oh that worked out okay it wasn't
7385s	uh that was good rail jack out of the
7387s	clouds was kind of cool too it's like oh
7389s	look the landscape didn't break
7391s	wow when they actually put something
7392s	else in it it still didn't break
7395s	it was amazing it's nice to not have
7396s	things break it's luxury really yeah
7399s	yeah but i think for those of you that
7401s	love steve's lighting and talking about
7403s	deferred that's probably gonna be your
7404s	mantle now carrick oh i can do that yeah
7408s	yeah for all the stuff that steve showed
7409s	off the assets had to come from
7411s	somewhere which is mainly not me i just
7413s	try to make sure that the people who
7414s	actually do it have the opportunity to
7416s	do so that's that's to be very clear yes
7419s	direct the art it's that it's that easy
7421s	that's kind of it it's no problem at all
7423s	nothing yeah
7424s	but uh yeah i can share a story oh is it
7427s	a warframe story it is not really a
7428s	warframe story okay i think to bring us
7430s	into the
7431s	what two hours we're gonna break the
7433s	four hour mark right yeah
7436s	uh you know this is just a reflection of
7439s	this industry being very very small but
7441s	um pablo and i actually used to work for
7443s	years and years sorry buddy over the
7446s	decade ago we worked uh can i can i
7447s	share that story
7454s	a different video game company which we
7456s	don't have to mention decades ago was it
7458s	on the east coast uh yes and um and then
7461s	and then pablo made his way to the e and
7463s	then i joined some years after and i
7466s	thought that you know we were familiar
7468s	and so on my first week of orientation i
7470s	stopped make sure to stop by his office
7471s	at the time and we exchanged a few
7473s	pleasantries and i went on my way
7475s	um only for years later to find out that
7478s	uh pablo didn't actually know who i was
7481s	and yet he was polite and professional
7483s	enough to carry on that conversation
7484s	because um somebody who i befriended
7486s	later who you shared an office with
7488s	apparently turned to you after we had a
7490s	conversation and asked who was that and
7492s	you said i have no idea
7494s	and now i share the same stage with you
7496s	which is a big honor you know
7498s	i know that's great but i guess i don't
7500s	i just don't have a memorable enough of
7502s	you you are i'll never forget you right
7504s	you made the flutes
7513s	and for what steve brought for pink
7515s	shorts i only had pink shoes so that's
7517s	my pink shirt picture there you go i was
7519s	a little reserved in my outfi i avoided
7521s	the shorts just i thought i thought if
7523s	my first time being here yeah yeah if i
7526s	get to come back i'll make sure to bring
7527s	out a bit something less and less
7531s	pencil greg in for february yeah
