4s welcome to episode number 1 1 let's
7s start again
14s hello and welcome to episode number 9 of
17s the worlds adrift deaf podcast from
20s Bossa studios my name is Julia and I am
22s the host for the episode luck to you
24s joining me is mal furred hello and Luke
28s no legendary Luke how you guys been
33s feeling good feeling great yeah it's
36s been it's been an insane week
37s yeah house filled with anxiety and fun
40s my two favorite emotions yes I think I
43s think the anticipation and then the
46s uphill and then me rollercoaster drives
50s up
51s yeah butterflies in our stomach or
53s mantas and thunder mites in our stomach
54s Anna gross I mean we do also have
56s butterflies in the game or like Firefly
58s type thing sounding on me you got those
65s like lamps full of that's what we've got
71s a stomach bug lemurs play your games I
73s thought you meant the island crater
75s effects yeah we do well how was your
82s experience on launch day we're treating
85s it as a second coming of worlds yeah
88s launch - that was a bit hectic just to
91s make sure everything was going from yeah
96s we were like a little bit delayed with
98s getting it live yeah
99s and obviously we were at the time on
101s stream live waiting for it to go yeah
104s yeah I had to jump in and we all have to
106s jump in have a nice chat yeah yeah
111s anecdotes yeah exactly
112s another time passing fun that was all
114s part of the plan that you know yeah yeah
116s somebody somebody in the office said
119s that they didn't know that there were
121s any delays and because they were on the
125s way home when they were listening in on
126s the stream do you go and they're really
129s good and then they found out the next
131s day there's like Oh
133s okay good job guys yeah we covered for
135s it really well yeah except you know the
138s the players actually did know yeah I'm
141s pretty sure we fooled no one yeah do you
149s guys know what caused it I believe it
152s was something to do with one of our F
153s Sims dying straight away wasn't it yeah
155s and there was some configuration things
158s that cause fun I mean one thing I don't
161s know if we're you know breaking the
163s rules but I talk about it is the pts
166s configurations for 10 times the resource
168s for oh yeah when we first ran the life
171s service you were getting 10 times
174s everything yeah and we didn't want to go
177s live of that no it turns out that that
179s actually makes the game well it ruins a
182s little bit I mean some people would say
183s it improves it but yeah but it don't it
187s doesn't mean that like you know I think
194s you know the reason it worked quite
195s nicely on the PCs is because it was sort
197s of four days at a time and like you know
201s many people could see all the content
202s but like if you were able to you know
205s get like maximum of all the resources in
208s the first four days and it's sort of
209s like there's not a lot left for you to
210s do in terms of you know finding stuff
213s and exploring yeah well that kind of
216s reminds me that some people that some
220s people are saying that in the game as it
222s is is way too hard I kind of know what's
226s your opinion on that you rule weaklings
232s talking to the many main surgeon
234s simulator you know hopefully now with we
242s still want you to kind of have to rely
244s on other players yes if you're a solo
246s player you can just grab everything on a
249s singular island and be like cool I'm
250s done now you know if you want to have
252s these big endeavors of like crafting a
254s large ship or you know maybe get into a
257s lot of fights you need to obtain those
260s resources you're gonna need to you know
262s do a little bit social work together at
264s that sort of thing I think
265s that will be really improved with the
267s trading stuff when it goes in because I
269s mean there's a lot of you know things
271s that some people for example we're
272s talking about how in PvE they might not
274s be able to get some resources because
275s they don't want to go into only in PvP
277s because they don't want to go into the
279s Badlands and no I didn't in PvE that was
282s right yeah yeah you know they don't
284s engage in PvP so they don't want to go
286s to the Badlands to find those things
287s that I call it then we're cut off from
289s that content and sort of like why
290s actually no pain no gain well know that
294s content if you can trade for it yeah you
296s just pay someone and go I need you yeah
298s you mean journey across sand war for me
301s just like in real life yeah I don't
302s actually you know drive the train to
305s work myself no you don't indirectly pay
309s a man to do that yeah I'm not I'm not
312s engaging in the train driving content
314s that real-life fare provides but you
316s know what I feel that that's not the
319s concept that I want to engage with in
320s real life I only drive my own trade your
323s own train yeah it on the tracks no just
325s like yeah I get someone else to build
327s that yeah you know in the middle of a
333s podcast record clicking confused
344s [Music]
354s leave innocent look unprofessional oh
361s man I wish these devs were more
363s professional oh this actually relates to
367s a question that we're gonna be getting a
369s little further down the line of this
371s podcast sound like a fun one yeah it is
374s actually it's why I roped you and what
376s we're so well you know aside from the
380s fact that you're kind of the vision
381s holder for the game how would have you
386s heard to that the reaction to the PVE
388s pvp has been pretty much 50/50 in terms
392s of population yes yes there isn't I
395s think the peaks yesterday
398s there was less than 30 players between
401s like the difference was lessened day
403s yeah yeah so I mean anyone who's playing
406s offs he knows that the the areas are
409s pretty packed we've made a change this
411s morning
412s mm-hm the vastly increases the amount of
416s times an island or now respawn like the
420s the respawn lightning yeah so yeah
424s should alleviate especially you guys
427s going into the weekend I should
428s hopefully alleviate like you know
431s resource starved islands yeah but yeah
435s so so on top of that of see a VSO the
438s servers are very busy and yeah they've
440s pretty much 50/50 split you're gonna see
442s what happens awfully over the course of
445s the week well you know see see if them
448s has changed but definitely quite
450s interesting so yeah a lot of people were
451s like oh why would they go on PvP they're
453s gonna go straight to PvE yeah I mean
455s there was sort of this weird thing where
456s we had this large group of people who
458s were saying oh why are you doing PvE you
461s know no one's gonna wanna do PvE it's
463s gonna you know this is a PvP game and
466s then a bunch of other people saying oh
467s are you doing PvE everyone's gonna go in
470s PvE and there won't be anyone left for
471s PvP so at the moment at least it looks
474s like yeah sure reaction because there
478s was the whole like you know are you
479s gonna split the population but obviously
481s we've got far more on each server then
485s we had like one server has like three
488s times as many as all of five servers
490s before the launch so populations
493s definitely back and we haven't split you
497s know we haven't suddenly split a tiny
499s player base we've no you know we've
501s added to it yeah which is the intent was
503s always that we were just gonna add to it
505s yeah yeah one of the encouraging things
507s for me I think I mean obviously there
509s was there are some issues where it's
510s difficult for us to support huge amounts
512s of players on you know a limited number
514s of islands for sure but one of the
516s encouraging things for me is that we
518s haven't felt like there's been a sort of
520s this sort of performance thing that's
521s saying that we should be splitting the
523s servers and that kind of thing it looks
524s like having you know everyone on the
527s same region is going really well
530s and we're able to sort of support the
532s number of
532s in one place as well in terms of on the
535s backend so that's a really encouraging
536s thing we just heard about yeah and going
539s forward we are the main focus right now
541s on a lot of coders is all of the
542s performance stuff yeah so the next
544s update after this one which should be
546s quite soon it's gonna have like a ton of
549s fixes that one couldn't make into 27 and
551s that we've since identified since update
553s 27 o'clock yeah so yeah hopefully that
556s one will hit and people notice a big big
559s difference well I think the following
561s two updates are planned to be like major
564s fixie ones yeah so I mean definitely
567s focused update 28 will be yeah bug fixes
570s probably some you know are updates about
573s that update 29 is gonna have some pretty
576s hefty content in it I think it's all of
585s these overheat cipher okay so that's in
589s 29th when you knowing about ankle yeah
591s so hopefully with that we also get some
593s performance stuff you know and we'll get
595s some fun stuff at the instrument yes
596s we'll get some fun stuff in there too
598s yes war drums yeah yeah drums very very
602s excited about those are you recording
605s them yourself or I'm gonna be recording
608s the guitar the flamethrower guitar
610s flamethrower guitar yeah and we've had a
614s professional percussionist to record the
616s drums sweet yeah very sweet prove
619s through it we could start a band it's
621s gonna be great
622s no bands yes band we can't support bands
624s because you're all your time then we'll
626s be off gonna be even better
629s oh man you know somebody mentioned we
630s need to add bagpipes and I thought that
632s is a horrendously wonderful light it's
635s great because people with it anytime you
641s can shut them up yeah yeah that would be
644s great
645s yeah I'm still quite amazed that
649s specifically because I was speaking to
651s analytics specifically new players you
655s would you would expect that a lot of the
658s new players would go into the PvE server
660s but it has been 50/50 split so old
663s players new players alike it's
665s fifty-fifty more like 49 50 very
668s interesting so yeah I found that awesome
670s what you guys think of the trailers I
672s thought they were very impressive Julia
678s you do like the law one their orders I'm
682s like we still don't have like a video
685s like that that maybe kind of that
687s establishes like the world and where it
690s is right because we have the intro video
692s to the game when you first make a
693s character but that's quite like you know
696s vague mm yeah I think I'd love a little
698s like sort of a deep dive into certain
701s like cultures and stuff using the same
704s style we did with the Marauders let's
706s make it happen dude what's that happen
708s yeah yeah let's do this
710s mm-hmm Melford you're writing the Lord
714s well all the Lord that Gracie and I've
717s written has been sort of post and
719s breathing in because you know it's a lot
722s easier for us to I you could I think
723s that's one of the things that
724s interesting so we've got a huge amount
725s Alaura in the game there's knowles and
726s novels worth but the majority of it is
728s inserting all the stuff that was there
730s before this update was you know a very
733s long time ago so it didn't necessarily
734s reflect the world that players are
737s actually playing in so I'm really hoping
739s that in the next sort of coming updates
741s that you know we'll be able to not only
743s continue to sort of dive into the past
745s and add more from those cultures that
747s were there in the past but also bring in
749s more of these sort of slightly more
751s current you know factions and pieces of
755s lauren and stories that reflect the way
758s that the players play the game as well I
759s really look forward to it yeah I love
763s like the fact that this time we had like
765s really modern new modern worlds modern
769s like character centric lore and
772s especially if you guys find some letters
775s addressed to violet they're hilarious
778s well hilarious and good heartbreaking
782s she's an in-demand lady and she's not
786s particularly interested Cinda head is
791s one of my favorites yeah Cinda head is
793s one of my favorites actually know
794s speaking of because one of the one of
796s the pieces of writing just one piece of
797s writing was written by muster
799s and it's a poem easy that's in the head
801s rate which is one of my favourite pieces
804s of law use an amateur poet definitely
810s let us know if you find it in the game
811s yeah well with that we can move on to
816s some of the questions from the community
818s one of them is actually not even a
821s question it's frozen waters waters sorry
826s guys but it was the exact opposite
828s they CCP EVE Online started out as
831s intended with a subscription model and
833s only recently two to three years ago
835s went to FTP wrong was titled I knew that
847s there was a subscription model I didn't
849s know they'd switch to free-to-play
850s because it was what was CCP doing
853s originally I think they just had like a
855s like a cosmetic store and I was like
856s what I was like EVE Online released in
858s like 2000 thing as like a cosmetics
862s store back then no I don't remember what
870s between the two of us you know between
872s the two of us there was something
873s approaching a fact I don't I don't know
880s if he got involved surrounded by it is
888s sorry to everyone at CCP the Nightman
893s asks hey you should either do an event
895s with xxxx of mats or change it so that
898s we can we get two x mats on live or
903s ships cost less it's not a question then
908s we did as I mean today because one of
911s the things we're looking at is like
913s revamping like progression yeah so you
916s know you have a little bit more to work
917s towards but you like guaranteed to get
920s you know I know one thing we were
926s discussing as a potential is to have you
930s know maybe at the weekend you get
932s and things are available and things like
934s that so well bonuses little boo stuff
936s like that yes so system is yeah it'll
941s allow us to be more cuz at the moment to
943s do something like what you've suggested
945s here we would need to make a new build
947s to do that and then change the build
949s back which is you know requires a bunch
952s of work what we're hoping to do is put
954s in systems that allow us to do that
955s without having to burn you build out
957s basically do you know various things and
959s events jinsei Jen's a asks podcast
963s question what ideas are you working on
966s to expand the depth of player
968s interaction in-game and open and open up
971s more choices for players besides
972s shooting loot so this kind of relates to
975s what we were talking about earlier
977s um the hybrid servers will be an
979s interesting experiment no doubt this is
981s this is last week's quench a question so
984s I hope they are well-received however I
986s am of the mind that players don't
989s necessarily need more protection just
991s more tools to enable different styles of
992s play besides pirates and pirate victim
996s example if we wanted to be a merchant
998s trader what tools do we have to help me
1000s say safely trade with other players
1001s besides dropping a makeshift chest on an
1004s island and hope they don't shoot me and
1005s take my stuff and then keep posts a
1009s threads on the forums where there's
1012s actually a very lovely discussion some
1014s some people kind of already discourage
1017s some ideas or discussed why they
1019s wouldn't work but in general it's yeah a
1021s brief look at that yeah you sent the
1023s link through hmm yeah I mean the main
1027s one you mentioned there being that the
1028s trading is planned yeah we definitely
1031s then we've been discussing like the like
1036s ships being used to gather things yeah
1039s specific types of ships in here together
1041s specific resources for for you mister
1045s yes stuff like that we want you have to
1050s build ships in same way so we have like
1052s the Loom coming up we'd only be used to
1054s craft clothes so we would expect you
1056s know someone who's crafting a lot of
1059s clothes is gonna have to kind of you
1061s know build a ship with these with lots
1063s of looms on and all your storage to hold
1065s all the Pigman
1065s stuff like that she'll start you know
1068s and we've seen that with the stove and
1069s that you know that uh yeah certain tasks
1073s will start being sort of given to ships
1074s and obviously you know the weight
1076s conscious will be like hey uh what I'm
1077s not interested in crafting clothes
1080s cooking food being a trader I'm more of
1083s a pirate shooty shooter yeah and you you
1085s know you'll build your ship in that way
1088s yeah and the other thing we've which is
1090s probably quite a long term change but at
1093s some point we've talked about will do a
1094s creature revamp and at that point we'll
1097s be able to have more yeah yeah it's a
1100s long it's a long way off I think at this
1101s point but it would definitely will give
1102s us lots of opportunities to have
1104s different kinds of gameplay in terms of
1107s going exploring the world and hunting
1108s monsters and getting resources from them
1110s you sort of want all of these different
1113s roles to feed into each other really so
1114s you want to have somebody who's happy to
1116s go out into the places that are very
1118s dangerous to find the to find you know
1121s the rare creatures to hunt them for
1123s their components and they can take them
1125s sell them to the trader he can then sell
1127s those things onto the yeah Taylor wants
1130s to make a fabulous leopard-skin jacket
1134s leopards all that stuff is yes
1138s that's confirmed all of that stuff I
1142s think that feeds into the fantasy and
1145s feeds into the economy and all of those
1148s things you know the difficulty is
1150s obviously that most that stuff isn't
1152s possible yet but it is on the horizon
1155s but I think even even now and hopefully
1158s be said this was from last week so yeah
1160s Pro has a chance to play maybe wasn't
1162s playing the pts but you know a lot of
1164s the new cooking recipes they've got some
1165s pretty good bus with them they kind of
1168s require resources from various creatures
1170s in different parts of the world so even
1173s something as simple as that like hey I'm
1174s gonna be like a chef or I'm gonna be a
1177s hunted like there are rare resources you
1179s can gather from the creatures that are
1181s used in in a few schematics and also for
1184s the cooking so there is every chance
1187s that out there somewhere there's a need
1189s for someone to you know start hoarding
1192s some Manta meats and yeah innards for
1195s some special recipes as well as the
1197s tailoring this is right
1199s Eggman's now so and rare clothing
1201s schematics you know so if someone wants
1203s a particular te shade or teal Marauder
1207s gear mm-hmm there's quite a few
1209s different places that you know you need
1210s to go to to gather all that stuff yeah
1212s and it's not all pirate and pirate
1215s victim yeah you gotta go journey yeah
1217s and explore I'm open sorry I think he's
1220s he's more asking if we're going to be
1222s kind of giving giving players social
1226s tools to to exchange these these well I
1233s think yeah I mean the example they're
1234s given is like a trade post right yeah
1236s that's definitely something we've
1238s planned we've got a couple of big
1239s trading systems right like designed we
1244s just have to figure out what the best
1247s way to do it yeah yeah that's it well
1249s it's complicated but yeah you know it's
1253s a weird game for a lot of these things
1254s in fact there's some things that you
1257s know like foot trading the sort of the
1259s thing that you've got in your head right
1261s now that you think is simple is much
1263s more complicated than the version that
1265s we've got which is sounds much more
1268s complicated first start exploiting yes
1272s we actually had John walking around
1273s today asking about stacks bling we are
1276s aware and it is currently being worked
1278s on yeah there you go as well as rarity
1283s icon scenario things when you find
1284s yourself a rare bit of clothing you'll
1286s actually know that it's rare Oh
1288s especially with long pieces as well so
1290s you'll know like because a lot of time
1291s you know you learn a little piece you
1293s find another one and it'll say you all
1294s we got that hmm and see because you
1296s won't see what how much knowledge it
1298s gives you you don't know if it was like
1300s a rare bond or not so you don't know how
1301s valuable is yeah but then you know
1303s you'll be suddenly be able to actually
1305s know the value of these items and you
1307s know the trading law could become a
1309s thing that's awesome but I can think of
1311s a couple of a couple of current Triple A
1315s games that forgot to include that into
1317s their hole or pieces and it's quite
1320s annoying there as well so yeah I feel
1323s your pain guys right the human germ asks
1326s my question for the podcast is any news
1329s on the handheld compass ideally with a
1331s better readout like using
1333s Mills handheld compass question work not
1343s right now I guess best games have it
1349s easy because they can just show in front
1352s of your face where as a third person
1354s characters it's hard to have a handheld
1357s thing that you can read and we don't
1359s really want to go and go sticking like a
1361s UI compass on the screen when you have
1363s your compass equipped that's a little
1364s bit I mean we could do something like
1366s have you know how them are all the
1367s compass is something you place in the
1368s world so you have this big compass you
1370s can't round with you and put on the
1371s ground which is kind of ridiculous a
1373s little bit cumbersome but yeah I mean I
1375s know we do have so much like having
1378s brought a compass works there'll be a
1380s player crafted atlas compass yeah where
1383s you can take the object that it's
1385s pointing to and put that somewhere so
1386s you can always track it so maybe we
1388s might do it to your friend or then yeah
1389s so that might you know you can track an
1393s object you're giving to a friend yes say
1396s I craft that lets compass I would give
1397s you other thing that the Atlas compass
1399s is pointing at and so if you traveled
1401s off hundreds of miles away the compass
1404s would still be pointing towards you or
1405s maybe that's kind of crazy
1410s it can be used for the Farias purposes
1412s in your stalking so it could be a thing
1414s to keep in touch for your mates know
1416s where they are
1417s yeah I imagine that you're the your
1418s player cool you've you're playing with
1420s your friend but you don't always get a
1423s chance to play at the same time yeah
1424s then you can give each other these
1427s pieces of these stones and then you come
1429s back into the game you know you're
1430s playing together but you know you
1431s haven't played together in a couple
1432s weeks so you know that you're a bit of a
1434s distance away from each other then you
1436s have these things that point towards
1437s your friends so you can me up again
1438s that's really cool yeah that is really
1440s cool and then you don't have to be king
1443s to each other and lose everything cool
1446s that is really really cool
1448s mmm is there anything else you guys have
1451s been up to this week
1452s oh what's your plan for tomorrow umm
1456s what am i doing tomorrow refining some
1462s progression design based on our meetings
1464s today
1466s musters continuing on his overheat
1469s resource overhaul that'll be so one
1471s thing we do actually want to try and I
1473s know community's been talking about it
1475s is when when you're gonna put the
1479s materials into the slot yeah you're
1482s gonna see the stat changes on the
1484s schematic before you craft it right so
1487s when I take my iron like a mouse over
1489s the barrel of my cannon they'll tell me
1491s what that iron is going to do to the
1493s stats okay one of the things people have
1496s been asking for for so yeah let's guess
1500s work and then we'll hope we've got a few
1502s new resources coming in as well that
1505s kind of fill some of the gaps in the
1507s variety for shipbuilding but also the
1511s the entire back end of like how ship
1514s parts gained stats from which components
1517s has all been overhauled by muster so new
1521s sciences to be had mastered the overhaul
1524s most monster yes a new Sciences to be
1526s had new things to find but we'll give
1528s you a little helping hand because it's
1530s gonna tell you how it's going to be
1533s affected so basically Luke is has has
1537s done torturing you guys and is now
1540s actually like giving you throwing your
1544s bone making your life a little bit
1548s easier but not too easy yeah oh we were
1551s finding you know that may players are
1553s almost not aware of the depth of the
1556s crafting system yeah and so they were
1558s just like I guess I just care about
1559s weight yeah and I think it's fine if the
1564s hardcore guys like oh no look like then
1566s that play then has to go out and ask
1569s players on a discord or you know pull or
1571s more experienced players like Oh what
1572s metal should I use yeah it's a little
1574s bit walled off and then try and do it
1576s themselves whereas if they had a stack
1577s of a few males they can they can mouse
1579s over the parts and go oh actually I'm
1581s going to do this and they can almost
1582s feel like they're engaging in that
1584s system yeah not just being like oh it's
1586s completely impenetrable I'll go ask
1588s someone which is the goal they're cool
1590s that means you don't have to have the
1591s wiki open as much when you're playing
