| 1s | hello hello I bring you news about the |
|---|---|
| 3s | much anticipated companion rework |
| 5s | starting with the part that you're |
| 6s | probably the most anxious about what's |
| 8s | happening with MAA so we don't like the |
| 11s | resource boost on charm the way it works |
| 14s | right now is every 27 seconds there's a |
| 16s | 28% chance for you to get a buff and out |
| 19s | of that there's a 10% chance for you to |
| 22s | get the resource buff so that means 2.8% |
| 25s | chance every 27 seconds for you to get |
| 28s | the buff you want so what happens in |
| 30s | practice is players will kill an enemy |
| 32s | they'll see the resource they want drop |
| 34s | and then they'll just wait around for |
| 36s | several minutes at a time until the buff |
| 38s | comes up and then they'll pick it up |
| 40s | obviously this is not very fun gameplay |
| 42s | is not very conductive to the high-speed |
| 44s | gameplay of of Warframe so we don't like |
| 46s | that the other thing we don't like is |
| 48s | that because resources are so valuable |
| 51s | people feel forced to use MAA even when |
| 53s | they don't want to so what we're doing |
| 56s | is we're grabbing that resource buff and |
| 58s | we're putting it into a mod this mod |
| 60s | will fit into every Beast companion and |
| 63s | what it will do is instead of being a |
| 65s | cool down with an RNG on top of an RNG |
| 68s | it'll just be a single RNG when you pick |
| 70s | up an item there will be a chance for it |
| 72s | to double the resources you got you'll |
| 74s | see in the bottom of the screen you'll |
| 76s | see 300 rubido and then next to it it'll |
| 78s | say 2x just so that you know that that |
| 80s | was what it came from now you're |
| 82s | probably wondering two things one what's |
| 84s | happening with MAA herself now that she |
| 86s | doesn't have that we're going to buff |
| 88s | the chance for you to get a buff on on |
| 90s | her just to compensate her a little bit |
| 92s | and also we're going to buff the |
| 93s | Affinity part of the buff that she got |
| 95s | and then the second thing you're |
| 97s | probably wondering about is Pao a mod |
| 99s | sounds great but my Beast companions |
| 102s | already have a super tight build there's |
| 104s | no way that I can fit another mod in |
| 107s | there so how am I going to do that for |
| 109s | that I'm going to pass it off to Grant |
| 111s | who's going to tell you about all the |
| 112s | other changes we're making with |
| 113s | companions I think you'll be pretty |
| 115s | happy with what we're doing |
| 117s | bye thanks Pablo as Pablo said I'm I'm |
| 120s | Grant I'm a senior gameplay programmer |
| 122s | here at Warframe last year I worked on |
| 124s | companion Ric phase one and I'm back for |
| 125s | phase two Beast modding has always been |
| 127s | a bit of a tight squeeze you've got 10 |
| 130s | mods to fit survivability utility damage |
| 133s | abilities you name it it's a lot and how |
| 136s | we're going to solve this is we're going |
| 137s | to take all these attack mods and move |
| 139s | them into new special pet weapons tied |
| 141s | to your pet each of these pet weapons |
| 143s | have their own unique stat blocks so for |
| 146s | instance your herass pet has enhanced |
| 148s | critical abilities whereas your |
| 149s | predicates have various different status |
| 151s | types tied to their base |
| 153s | damage beyond the pre-existing mods like |
| 156s | bite mul Etc we'll be adding a few new |
| 158s | mods to help fill out the Beast weapon |
| 160s | mod pool on top of this Beast weapons |
| 163s | feature a special poster slot which lets |
| 165s | you equip new poster mods which |
| 166s | influence the behavior and provide a |
| 168s | bonus to support that play style for |
| 170s | example we've added a posture mod which |
| 172s | will prefer to Target exus enemies and |
| 174s | deal increased damage to their overguard |
| 177s | posters like Melee stances give extra |
| 179s | mod capacity so you can fit more mods in |
| 181s | your build and speaking of behaviors we |
| 184s | will be making systematic improvements |
| 185s | to how your pet moves in attacks so that |
| 187s | their attacks are more visible and |
| 190s | useful we hope that this helps free up |
| 192s | space in your builds and offers you new |
| 194s | opportunities to customize your pets |
| 195s | Effectiveness in a fight but Grant what |
| 198s | about |
| 199s | Sentinels well you'll be happy to hear |
| 201s | that it's not just Beast getting a |
| 202s | facelift Sentinels are getting a broad |
| 205s | rework of their weapons the majority of |
| 207s | Sentinel weapons have either outdated |
| 209s | stats or dant designs our goal is to |
| 213s | make the weapons more interesting and |
| 214s | bring their power up to the level of the |
| 216s | current King the |
| 217s | verglas in some cases this is just a |
| 219s | stats refresh but in other cases we have |
| 221s | totally overhauled the weapon or just |
| 223s | added some cool mechanics to it I think |
| 225s | we've created a lot of cool new options |
| 227s | for you to see more about that check out |
| 230s | our Dev workshop on the forums that'll |
| 232s | go up after the show so beyond weapons |
| 235s | we're also looking at companion precepts |
| 237s | a big factor in picking what companion |
| 239s | you bring to your build is what |
| 241s | exclusive mods it brings to the table |
| 243s | and to be honest a lot of these were |
| 246s | overly Niche pointless and some just |
| 248s | didn't function as |
| 250s | intended to address this we've got over |
| 252s | 20 updated precepts and Counting some |
| 255s | just needed stat adjustments others |
| 256s | needed total reworks our hope is to |
| 259s | Breathe new life into pets which have |
| 260s | otherwise been outclassed such as the |
| 261s | helmet charger and the predic sites for |
| 264s | more information and a full list of |
| 266s | what's changing check out again our Dev |
| 269s | workshop on the Forum where you'll find |
| 271s | all this information to recap expect |
| 274s | companion rework Phase 2 to include |
| 276s | Beast weapons new mods AI improvements |
| 279s | and behavior customization new Sentinel |
| 281s | weapons and many precepts |
| 284s | reworked last year we did companion |
| 286s | rework Phase 1 which addressed companion |
| 287s | survivability and introduced Bond mods |
| 289s | to encourage new builds I can't wait to |
| 291s | see what new builds you cook up this |
| 293s | time around that's all for me tenno |
| 295s | enjoy the rest of the show |
