hello everyone and welcome to yet another day in vera and today we have a pretty exciting
- 00:27
showcase for you i know it's one that many of you have been waiting for for quite a while
- 00:32
but before we begin i do want to provide you with a little bit of our normal reminder that
- 00:41
this is still a work in progress and there are a lot of visual bugs obviously work in progress ui
- 00:48
and art that you're going to see here which will continue to improve but with that being said and
- 00:54
performance as well with that being said
- 00:57
we're going to take a look today at some pvp and we're going to talk about pvp specifically in the
- 01:06
context of caravans and i am joined by some of our glorious developers all of whom you have heard
- 01:13
from in the past we have one of our glorious senior designers mr chris chris how you doing
- 01:20
buddy oh i'm just wonderful thanks for having me happy to have you but i know you've been putting
- 01:25
a lot of work into this
- 01:26
um
- 01:27
and it's great to see it kind of come together here um and i think we're also joined by two
- 01:33
other glorious designers on the combat side uh bucky tratt how you guys doing doing good
- 01:42
yep good to be back and for uh oh i've lost count
- 01:45
many many times um so we also have a number of different testers who are going to be joining us
- 01:56
who are assisting us with the design of the pvp and we're going to be talking about the pvp and
- 01:57
we're going to be talking about the pvp and we're going to be talking about the pvp and
- 01:57
um getting ready for alpha 2 obviously alpha 2 as we announced is going to be starting in the
- 02:04
third quarter of this year um there's still a lot of work to be done and and part of that work is
- 02:10
finding all the bugs and all the crashes and in hardening the systems uh as we prepare for alpha 2
- 02:16
but today like i said we're going to be talking about a really fun system as it relates to
- 02:20
caravans and one of the most important aspects of caravans is that there is no reward without
- 02:27
significant risk in ashes of creation and the caravan system is a particular risk because
- 02:34
it is how materials and commodities are transited within the world of vera and it's difficult to
- 02:42
navigate the world of vera it's a large world and the train is not always kind especially to large
- 02:48
vehicles like a caravan and today we're going to talk about as you transit this world if the
- 02:56
node structures are not advanced you're not going to be able to navigate the world of vera
- 02:57
and the world state isn't changing and you're not seeing different
- 03:04
bridges being constructed sometimes you might have to ford rivers and rivers can be quite the
- 03:12
obstruction uh for you and present some danger wow look at these look at this look at this crew
- 03:19
you'll know you'll notice that this crew they all have swords above their head and they're blue to
- 03:24
me but that's because we've discovered we've discovered we've discovered we've discovered that
- 03:27
a caravan is taking the perilous journey nearby and trying to reach a location where they'll be
- 03:33
rewarded for all their hard work but little do they know we are here waiting for them and the
- 03:39
bandits are going to attempt to to take this caravan chris talk to me a little bit about
- 03:46
the risk of caravan travel and what people are about to see here
- 03:51
yeah i mean well you risk everything you're traveling with when you run a caravan right um it's
- 03:57
definitely way more efficient than running a bunch of goods in your inventory to and from nodes but
- 04:03
it's uh definitely a lot more dangerous absolutely rangers if you guys want to come over here with me
- 04:10
i've just gotten word that there might be a caravan down here approaching but they appear
- 04:17
to have some defenders i can see them i think they might even see us here in the distance
- 04:21
what do you guys say we engage them do we want to just see them or do we just see them
- 04:27
just kind of ambush them here i don't think they can see us we fight you guys should be stealth
- 04:32
stealthy about it okay i got a tar i got a target mcstackerson rangers we should open up on them
- 04:38
right when they kind of arrive here let them let them come up a little bit closer and prepare your
- 04:43
uh your snipe they have no idea actually let's switch targets over to this nastharis let's open in three two one
- 04:57
oh no okay gauge them go go go
- 05:06
oh my god
- 05:13
oh it's bloodshed
- 05:27
this is our loot
- 05:28
don't let them get away
- 05:41
okay i think we may only there's a few left i see chibi brie
- 05:56
focusing the
- 05:57
caravan
- 06:11
all right take down the caravan
- 06:27
time for that delicious loot
- 06:38
oh my god okay nobody nobody grabbed the loot nobody grabbed the loot what just happened here
- 06:48
chris buck you talked to me a little about a little bit about what we just saw obviously
- 06:51
this caravan is now destructed what does that mean yeah so this this caravan was loaded with
- 06:56
a combination of it looks like uh commodity crates and material crates okay all right so these crates
- 07:05
have different contents in them yeah so um like the last caravan live stream uh we transited a
- 07:12
bunch of commodities those special goods you bought with glint um well obviously we can steal
- 07:17
them now that we've killed their caravans if you want to open up one of these guys with a green
- 07:21
uh little symbol on it okay i'll come up there
- 07:26
after we've killed them
- 07:29
where are you at
- 07:32
uh i'm right here i'm right here right next to
- 07:34
you one of these guys got it okay i can interact with it i see that there's stolen commodities
- 07:40
yeah so you can go ahead and loot those um now you don't actually get the commodity that it was you
- 07:47
get these special certificates that um we will offload at uh the node we're gonna head to after
- 07:52
this uh for some monies
- 07:54
nice i like the money
- 07:56
kind of crate here if you come turn around and walk back here it's this with with this black icon
- 08:00
um now this is a material crate which means they were transiting their materials as well
- 08:06
oh my god they have a bunch of rubies oh spicy i know let me take a look at these rubies
- 08:14
oh nice okay i have 30 of their rubies nice but now obviously this is too much for us to carry
- 08:22
right that's one of the aspects of the of the caravan system is that it provides you large
- 08:28
carrying capacity what do we do when there's too much for us to carry on our backs so there's an
- 08:33
item in your inventory um that you can use to summon an empty caravan that you have stashed
- 08:39
at a node um if i recall correctly you stashed one at winstead nearby i do have one at winstead
- 08:44
let me summon that so out in the wild right now i am able to summon this caravan
- 08:52
and that's going to come from winstead yep um now the way summoning works is the length of that
- 09:00
summon is determined by where you're right if you were to summon from winstead which is pretty close
- 09:05
to us the weight's not going to be super long but if you're summoning from you know very very far
- 09:10
away it's going to be a rough weight okay all right so now i've begun summoning my empty caravan
- 09:18
to come pick up these supplies that we've just acquired
- 09:23
and obviously if you were in the previous raid you can go ahead and leave that raid
- 09:27
um because right now the there's some still outstanding functionality required on the ui
- 09:33
front but it will be intended for that to be seamless in the future um but now you guys are
- 09:38
joining my raid to defend this and once this caravan arrives it's going to allow us essentially
- 09:42
to grab these outstanding supplies is that right correct yeah and another um additional reason why
- 09:47
you may want to summon a caravan instead of having all your people here pick up this stuff
- 09:52
is you're going to get more for bringing the crate unopened to a node right so that like material
- 09:59
crate you got you said 30 rubies from it yes you're going to get way more if we take that to
- 10:07
the node without opening it in the field okay that's cool that's awesome and now you know we
- 10:14
just happened upon obviously this caravan here that was carrying supplies but talk to me a little
- 10:18
bit about the intended interaction of hunting caravans right what does that
- 10:22
mean can you progress in that can you identify these carrier vans from a distance is it intended
- 10:26
to be diegetic or is it you know aided with mini map like talk to me a little bit about that uh
- 10:31
bucky and chris yeah so uh hunting a caravan is starting to be a lot more diegetic right you plant
- 10:38
spies and other guilds you um you know build your information network in the world of vera um kind of
- 10:45
uh through do whatever means you can right um now there is progression paths involved with attacking
- 10:51
and defending a caravan and so you know what's important is that you have a certain amount of
- 10:52
caravan, that can aid you in doing so, either with better equipment for it, faster ways
- 11:00
to open crates more, yield from crates, and if you're a defender, right, better components
- 11:05
for your caravans, stuff like that.
- 11:08
Okay, very cool.
- 11:10
Ah!
- 11:11
The caravan has arrived!
- 11:15
I should be able to move up to these crates and collect the cargo, I see.
- 11:30
Yep, so you should have an ability to collect cargo.
- 11:34
Oh my god, yeah, I have a whole bunch of cargo that I can select from.
- 11:40
So I'm just gonna grab each of these cases.
- 11:44
Okay.
- 11:45
I have a very large chassis, and I've collected a number of them, let me see if I can collect
- 12:01
some more.
- 12:02
There's a case of Everburn scented candles, and some more scented candles.
- 12:08
Alright, I think we have grabbed pretty much everything that we didn't already loot.
- 12:11
Now talk to me a little bit about the differences between looting here, kind of, at the spot,
- 12:15
and collecting the cargo with the caravan.
- 12:17
I can take this one, yeah, so like, looting at the spot, obviously, you can do right away,
- 12:24
and the problem with that though is you forfeit a lot of the materials, a lot more get lost
- 12:28
as you crack open those crates, but if you're able to have your own caravan and bring it
- 12:32
there, you can loot and you'll get more of the overall materials that way.
- 12:37
But there will be progression for, you know, like you were saying about the highwayman
- 12:40
faction versus the defender faction, and maybe there'll be some progression where you can
- 12:45
get better loot percentage out in the field.
- 12:50
Very cool.
- 12:52
Now we talked a little bit ago about stolen goods, stolen supplies, what are the intent
- 13:00
of that system?
- 13:01
How do stolen goods and supplies work differently than commodities?
- 13:06
So when you crack open a crate of commodities, you get, you don't get the commodities themselves
- 13:10
since they're like crated cargo items.
- 13:13
You actually get stolen goods.
- 13:14
And you can use those stolen commodity certificates to go and turn them into the black market
- 13:19
to get some money back.
- 13:23
Okay, nice.
- 13:24
And that's an upgrade path that's available at different marketplace buildings?
- 13:28
Yeah, that's a specialization of the market.
- 13:30
Normally you can sell them back to anything, but it's not going to be very much like the
- 13:33
normal vendors of Vera don't want those stolen goods.
- 13:35
But if you know the right people, you can get you can get your money's worth out of
- 13:38
it.
- 13:39
Very nice.
- 13:40
Very nice.
- 13:41
Now, obviously, we just had a large scale.
- 13:44
Relatively large scale combat between two of these raids.
- 13:50
Trad talk to me a little bit about kind of, you know, how our approach towards Alpha 2
- 13:54
is going to incorporate additional development of this group based combat and PvP and kind
- 14:00
of where we are with it now.
- 14:02
Yeah, absolutely.
- 14:03
So as you've seen in a lot of our previous archetype live streams, there's been a lot
- 14:08
of, you know, representation of single player combat.
- 14:11
Like, you know, we usually go in there with one, two.
- 14:13
Like maximum.
- 14:14
Like maximum of three people just because we want to really highlight like the abilities.
- 14:19
But here you're obviously seeing that much larger scale scenario.
- 14:22
And that's where we're going to continue moving forward, thinking about like the group utility,
- 14:27
because that's that's what like adds a lot of class identity to your character, right?
- 14:32
Is like when your party invites me, invites me or your raid invites me, like, what do
- 14:36
I provide to the group?
- 14:38
And that's where we've sort of shifted our focus on for this next iteration of ability
- 14:43
design.
- 14:44
Okay.
- 14:45
I see there's some dead brown bears up here.
- 14:51
That's concerning.
- 14:52
Oh, let's hitch a left here.
- 14:55
Okay.
- 14:56
And so what we're going to do down here is we need an alternate path to reach Merilith
- 15:04
because the path by road is a bit obstructed.
- 15:08
Some of the bridges have not been developed yet.
- 15:12
So what are we about to do now?
- 15:13
Okay.
- 15:14
So there's this nifty thing that I think you alluded to last time we talked about caravans,
- 15:20
but we are going to traverse the river instead of the land.
- 15:25
All right.
- 15:28
So what you're going to do is roll up here and go ahead and walk your caravan as far
- 15:32
into the water as it'll let you.
- 15:35
All right.
- 15:38
I see beautiful carfin.
- 15:41
All right.
- 15:42
Now you should have an ability.
- 15:43
You should have an ability on your caravan hop bar to transition to raft.
- 15:50
Convert to raft.
- 15:53
Ooh.
- 15:54
Okay.
- 15:55
And I just deployed this.
- 15:57
Yep.
- 15:58
Just deploy it.
- 16:01
Oh, that is awesome.
- 16:08
So this process takes a few minutes.
- 16:11
You're going to have to basically wait and defend your caravan while you're transitioning
- 16:18
to raft, but riding on the water has its benefits.
- 16:23
I love this.
- 16:24
Now, you can still target the dock, right?
- 16:27
And part of this transition process is, again, the risk that you're introducing for the reward
- 16:34
of having greater flexibility in movement through the land.
- 16:38
And that risk is basically you're a sitting duck here, for lack of a better term.
- 16:43
Yep.
- 16:44
Basically, like I said, you can't escape and you can undo this process, but the amount
- 16:51
of time you've already sunk into it must be paid to undo it.
- 16:54
I see.
- 16:56
And now as this raft is getting constructed, I notice that it's essentially destructing
- 17:03
the caravan.
- 17:06
And using that to construct the raft.
- 17:09
Yep.
- 17:10
Correct.
- 17:11
And if you actually...
- 17:12
Once it's done constructing, you'll notice the body of your caravan is sitting on the
- 17:17
raft.
- 17:18
Oh, I love it.
- 17:19
Oh, okay.
- 17:20
That's cool.
- 17:21
That's some Lewis and Clark shit.
- 17:22
I mean, stuff.
- 17:23
Oh, no.
- 17:24
Now, as we're kind of a sitting duck, we should probably put maybe some scouts up near the
- 17:33
top of that hill so we don't get jumped.
- 17:34
I don't know.
- 17:35
It may not be a scout, but I can go take a look.
- 17:40
I mean, I can't imagine that they just left.
- 17:43
Oh, boy.
- 17:44
We got some people up here.
- 17:46
Oh, no.
- 17:47
They're back.
- 17:48
They want their stuff back.
- 17:49
Oh, no.
- 17:50
Heal me.
- 17:51
I'm going to go chill with the raft as it kind of comes down while you guys fight
- 17:55
them for a second.
- 17:56
I think it's almost done.
- 17:58
There we go.
- 18:00
Oh, I've gotten the raft.
- 18:03
I'm running.
- 18:04
Oh, God.
- 18:05
Rangers to the ship.
- 18:06
Quickly.
- 18:07
Join me.
- 18:08
We must depart this area.
- 18:09
All right.
- 18:10
We'll catch back up.
- 18:11
Everyone on board.
- 18:12
Chris, Bucky, do what you can to hold them.
- 18:13
It's just some rabble, you know?
- 18:14
These guys don't have anything on us.
- 18:15
Easy.
- 18:16
Mopping them up.
- 18:30
I expect you to make quick work of them.
- 18:36
Chris, are you with me or are you over there?
- 18:38
I don't know where I'm going.
- 18:40
Oh, I'm running down.
- 18:41
I'll run to you.
- 18:42
I'll run to you.
- 18:44
I'm abandoning the fight.
- 18:45
Okay.
- 18:46
We'll wait for you.
- 18:47
Yeah, we've taken them out.
- 18:48
We're coming back now.
- 18:49
Okay.
- 18:50
Very nice.
- 18:51
We'll run along the shore.
- 18:52
I like the...
- 18:53
I love the raft.
- 18:54
It's looking good.
- 18:55
I know Adam worked pretty hard on the new water shader.
- 18:56
It looks beautiful.
- 18:57
It's a nice day out.
- 18:58
Yes.
- 18:59
It definitely turned out real nice.
- 19:00
And shout out to Hal for the raft.
- 19:01
Yes.
- 19:02
Oh, the raft looks good.
- 19:03
It's a nice day out.
- 19:04
It's a nice day out.
- 19:05
It's a nice day out.
- 19:06
It's a nice day out.
- 19:07
It's a nice day out.
- 19:08
It's a nice day out.
- 19:09
It's a nice day out.
- 19:10
It's a nice day out.
- 19:11
Shout out to Hal for the raft.
- 19:12
Yes.
- 19:13
Oh, the raft looks so good.
- 19:14
I assume we're going left, yes?
- 19:16
So we're gonna keep going straight here.
- 19:19
All right.
- 19:26
Now, this can be very helpful, having the option, but it can also be kind of dangerous,
- 19:31
because you don't know who might be laying in wait ahead of you along the shorelines.
- 19:36
But it also lets you, as we said, traverse the world in a little different way.
- 19:41
And there's also a current here, correct?
- 19:43
Yeah.
- 19:44
So there's a current system that increases your speed if you go with the current, and
- 19:49
decreases it if you go against it.
- 19:51
You're gonna want to hitch a right here, Steven.
- 19:59
And those currents are kind of different based on the location in the river, correct?
- 20:03
Yeah, they are.
- 20:04
They're different based on the location in the river and the strength of the river,
- 20:08
right?
- 20:09
So, you know, where we kind of started there was more of a lake body, so the current's
- 20:14
not super intense.
- 20:16
But, you know, we could have a place that's, you know, near rapids, right?
- 20:21
Got it.
- 20:25
Where are we going here?
- 20:27
This is looking concerning.
- 20:29
Oh, Steven.
- 20:32
Did I ever tell you you have the sense of direction of a mongoose trapped in a paper bag?
- 20:34
Oh, god!
- 20:36
Oh, my god.
- 20:37
Shoot the tatters on the rock.
- 20:38
Turn around.
- 20:39
On the rock.
- 20:40
Go the other way.
- 20:42
Take them out!
- 20:45
Steven, you're gonna crash into a rock.
- 20:47
Oh, god.
- 20:50
You're gonna want to hitch a right here.
- 20:52
I'm sorry.
- 20:53
I wasn't paying attention to my map.
- 20:55
No, no, no, no.
- 20:56
Not yet.
- 20:57
Not yet.
- 20:58
Not yet.
- 20:59
I'm trying to watch behind us.
- 21:00
You're gonna beach us.
- 21:03
Is there someone on board?
- 21:08
Not anymore.
- 21:09
Oh, no.
- 21:10
That was a defender.
- 21:11
Oh, heavy fire on Dread.
- 21:16
All right.
- 21:17
I think we made it out.
- 21:18
We're safe now.
- 21:19
Trad, how's it going on the battle side?
- 21:21
I'm outnumbered.
- 21:22
I'm running.
- 21:23
Oh, no.
- 21:24
Meet us at the landing point.
- 21:26
If you are a bandit, get out of there and meet us at the landing point.
- 21:32
Don't let them follow you, though.
- 21:35
Win the fight, then meet us.
- 21:37
Win the fight, then meet us, or die and meet us.
- 21:41
How about we do that the other way around?
- 21:44
Yeah.
- 21:45
That'd be good.
- 21:47
So, these are obviously some of the risks of traveling by raft.
- 21:53
Let me turn down my sound effects just a little bit.
- 22:00
There we go.
- 22:02
Now, it's not all bad, because we can land and turn us back into a...
- 22:07
A land caravan again, and that's coming up here, correct?
- 22:12
It's coming up pretty shortly.
- 22:14
Now, you can't turn into a land caravan anywhere, right?
- 22:17
You still need...
- 22:18
Kind of like how you saw we showed up at a beach to turn into a raft.
- 22:22
Well, we need to do something similar, and if you notice around us,
- 22:25
there aren't a huge amount of beaches, and that's super intentional to create,
- 22:29
like, you know, locations players can rely on.
- 22:33
Got it.
- 22:36
Are we coming up on one up here, yeah?
- 22:39
Yep, we're coming up on one on the right there.
- 22:42
We're up here.
- 22:44
Let me see if the current kind of carries us forward a little bit.
- 22:47
Oh, it does!
- 22:48
I'm not moving.
- 22:50
Our current moves.
- 22:53
That was a very light influence for this current.
- 22:57
Very light current.
- 23:00
All right, everybody secure the perimeter.
- 23:03
I am converting into a land caravan again.
- 23:06
I'm on it.
- 23:08
It has begun.
- 23:09
Securing perimeter.
- 23:13
Perimeter secured.
- 23:15
So after we go back and forth with the caravan turning back into a land caravan,
- 23:21
it's keeping all the components that it had before, obviously, right, Chris?
- 23:24
Yeah, so all your components, all of the stuff in, like, that you've either looted
- 23:31
or launched with sticks with you.
- 23:34
All that stuff.
- 23:35
All that good stuff.
- 23:37
Oh, DA's not in the raid anymore.
- 23:40
Re-invite him.
- 23:41
Let's bring DA back.
- 23:43
I'm sure that the opposing side is going to try one last time to recover their goods.
- 23:50
Oh, they will for sure.
- 23:52
So we need to be conscientious of that as we kind of progress through this more rocky area.
- 23:57
There's a lot of places that can hide.
- 23:59
Yeah, it's also very narrow, not a lot of places for us to run.
- 24:03
Hmm.
- 24:04
Hmm.
- 24:06
Love the view of Carfen here.
- 24:10
So when we get to Mir'leth, though, assuming that we successfully navigate past the evil merchants,
- 24:21
what are we going to be doing then?
- 24:23
Are we going to be turning in this cargo?
- 24:26
Yeah, so we're, you know, you're going to be able to unpack those crates,
- 24:31
which you currently don't know what's in them.
- 24:33
You know, we do have a plan for a progression path for kind of caravans in general,
- 24:38
where you will be able to look into them.
- 24:40
But you haven't done your grind, Steven.
- 24:43
What?
- 24:46
I haven't done my grind yet?
- 24:48
Nope.
- 24:49
And you're also going to go and turn in those black market,
- 24:53
or not the black market certificates, the stolen commodities at the black market to make some money.
- 24:59
Got it.
- 25:01
Now, guys, obviously, as you're watching this,
- 25:02
and you're seeing the kind of transition,
- 25:04
again, as a reminder, everything you're seeing is a work in progress,
- 25:08
especially from an art perspective.
- 25:11
UI, visual effects, animation, those are all still works in progress.
- 25:16
I'm going to jump on this.
- 25:19
Okay, here we go.
- 25:21
I am ready.
- 25:22
We're back.
- 25:23
Let's do this.
- 25:26
I'm speed boosting.
- 25:28
It would be very nice if some tanks were on the front line with this sad little thing.
- 25:32
A little mage.
- 25:33
Get out of the way.
- 25:34
Yeah.
- 25:35
Let's see some rangers ahead, too, in their camo.
- 25:38
Get some scouting going.
- 25:40
Nice.
- 25:44
We must protect.
- 25:46
I'm in danger.
- 25:47
I'm in danger.
- 25:49
I need an adult.
- 25:50
Go, Trad.
- 25:51
Dispense the heathens.
- 25:56
We should pull back a little, maybe.
- 25:58
We got the people on the cliff up on the right here.
- 26:00
I got eyes.
- 26:02
Awesome.
- 26:03
Awesome's ahead.
- 26:04
All right.
- 26:05
Stay out of my way.
- 26:06
I'm just going to go straight through this.
- 26:07
Just send it, Steven.
- 26:08
I'm going straight through.
- 26:09
Everybody get out of my way.
- 26:10
Run.
- 26:11
Oh, God.
- 26:12
Some casualties on our own side.
- 26:13
It's worth it, though.
- 26:14
Tanks pulling down from the rock.
- 26:15
Use your javelins.
- 26:16
Oh.
- 26:17
Oh.
- 26:18
Oh.
- 26:19
Oh.
- 26:20
Oh.
- 26:21
Oh.
- 26:22
Oh.
- 26:23
Oh.
- 26:24
Oh.
- 26:25
Oh.
- 26:26
Oh.
- 26:27
Oh.
- 26:28
Oh.
- 26:29
Oh.
- 26:30
Oh.
- 26:31
Oh.
- 26:32
Oh.
- 26:33
Oh.
- 26:34
Oh.
- 26:35
Oh.
- 26:36
Oh.
- 26:37
Oh.
- 26:38
Oh.
- 26:39
Oh.
- 26:40
Oh.
- 26:41
Oh.
- 26:42
Oh.
- 26:43
Oh.
- 26:44
Oh.
- 26:45
Oh.
- 26:46
Oh.
- 26:47
Oh.
- 26:48
Oh.
- 26:49
Oh.
- 26:50
Oh.
- 26:51
Oh.
- 26:52
Oh.
- 26:53
Oh.
- 26:54
Oh.
- 26:55
Oh.
- 26:56
Oh.
- 26:57
Oh.
- 26:58
Oh.
- 26:59
Oh.
- 27:00
Oh.
- 27:01
the world team has changed them
- 27:03
to rock golem.
- 27:06
Or the world state
- 27:07
has changed, perhaps?
- 27:10
Or maybe they did change the rock golems.
- 27:12
That's going to be a Jeremy question.
- 27:16
We've left
- 27:17
Vertec. Good sacrifice.
- 27:20
Did we make it out?
- 27:23
We're
- 27:23
still being chased.
- 27:25
Everybody up here, go back and kill those people.
- 27:27
Don't let them near me.
- 27:28
Back, fiends!
- 27:35
I'm going to use my last speed boost.
- 27:37
My god, they're using dark magic.
- 27:39
There's the rock elemental.
- 27:41
Don't pull aggro.
- 27:44
Definitely not.
- 27:46
I'm trailing
- 27:47
behind you. I found the skeletons.
- 27:50
Yes, that's what I wanted you to do.
- 27:57
They've overextended.
- 27:58
They're foomals.
- 28:02
Heal, heal.
- 28:03
I cannot heal you.
- 28:05
Where are you?
- 28:07
Oh, I see you.
- 28:07
I see you.
- 28:13
My gosh.
- 28:14
Alright, we're almost there.
- 28:18
We're so close.
- 28:24
I'm really envious of you, Steven, being able to
- 28:27
sit and
- 28:28
drive something while we all have to walk.
- 28:30
I know.
- 28:31
My legs hurt.
- 28:32
Honestly, it's not a very comfortable ride.
- 28:34
The suspension on this vehicle
- 28:36
and the rocks on the ground.
- 28:39
Well, you know, the roads will upgrade when the node
- 28:41
levels up and it'll get a little nicer.
- 28:44
That's true.
- 28:45
That's a good point.
- 28:46
So as the as the nodes advance, as we've said in the past,
- 28:49
the roads advance as well.
- 28:52
And that speed buff does get some benefit.
- 28:55
And a road like this would eventually become stone, right?
- 28:58
So the the caravan won't be as bumpy.
- 29:01
We have almost arrived
- 29:04
at Miralith.
- 29:07
I've lost the road buff now we're super slow.
- 29:11
You're officially in Miralith.
- 29:13
I still see Lex behind us.
- 29:15
Is Lex on the good side or the bad side?
- 29:17
He's on our side.
- 29:17
Oh, OK.
- 29:18
We do have enemies coming up, though.
- 29:20
OK, so we still haven't killed them.
- 29:22
Guards, get them.
- 29:24
Kill them.
- 29:24
I have more heals.
- 29:25
I'd be up there more.
- 29:26
Somebody help them kill them.
- 29:28
All right, go, Trad.
- 29:29
I'll stay with you until the end.
- 29:32
We're going in.
- 29:33
Don't wait up for us, guys.
- 29:35
I don't even think they followed.
- 29:36
Oh, they're gone.
- 29:37
Well, there might be one.
- 29:39
Go get him.
- 29:40
He's running in.
- 29:41
We've almost arrived.
- 29:43
Is that a solo hero?
- 29:45
The river town of Miralith.
- 29:48
Look at that beautiful view.
- 29:56
It's a very nice little node.
- 29:58
So now I have some stolen commodities in the form of stolen goods.
- 30:08
Yep.
- 30:09
And then I also have cargo.
- 30:11
And I believe I remember you saying you picked up a bunch of rubies, candles and a bunch of and a couple of crates.
- 30:21
Now, the crates are a mystery.
- 30:23
So I'll walk you through how to find out what goes in them.
- 30:28
We did it.
- 30:30
Yes.
- 30:32
We've done it.
- 30:33
Should I dismount?
- 30:35
Yeah.
- 30:36
Get off that thing.
- 30:37
All right.
- 30:38
Great work, everybody.
- 30:39
Well done, everyone.
- 30:40
Beautiful.
- 30:41
You all be paid 10 copper for your services and I'll get the rest.
- 30:44
Now, where are we going to go to turn this up?
- 30:47
First thing we're going to do, come back this way.
- 30:49
We're going to talk to the caravan master.
- 30:51
Talk about a change since last you guys saw the caravan system.
- 30:56
Okay.
- 30:57
And then switch to the storage of the caravan you have here.
- 31:00
You'll see the goods are still in there.
- 31:02
Do you see the goods in there, Steve?
- 31:04
Cargo storage.
- 31:05
Yes, I do.
- 31:06
So you're going to part of the change is that when you land a caravan, it doesn't automatically flood the nodes cargo with the stuff that was on your caravan.
- 31:17
It stays on the caravan as additional cargo storage.
- 31:21
Okay.
- 31:22
So what you're going to do, if you notice, there's a couple of crates.
- 31:25
I think they're two by ones in there.
- 31:27
You're going to right click that.
- 31:30
Okay.
- 31:31
Oh, look at that.
- 31:33
There's some basalt in these.
- 31:35
So what you can do is unpack that crate, which is going to move the goods that were in there into your material inventory.
- 31:43
But unpacking takes time.
- 31:45
So they're going to be locked for a period of time.
- 31:48
Okay.
- 31:49
So I won't see them in my.
- 31:51
You will see them in your material inventory, but you won't be able to take them out.
- 31:55
So if you want to go and unpack it, you can type over here.
- 31:56
If you want to unpack it, you can type over to the material inventory and check it out.
- 31:59
I'll just show up there later because it's not showing up there now.
- 32:01
Did you hit the unpack button?
- 32:03
Oh, I did not.
- 32:05
Oh, good call.
- 32:07
Thank you.
- 32:08
I'm so sorry.
- 32:11
Oh, that was good.
- 32:13
That was good.
- 32:14
Okay.
- 32:15
All right.
- 32:16
So they're locked right now.
- 32:17
Oh, okay.
- 32:18
So in five minutes, I can access them.
- 32:19
Yep.
- 32:20
Now that timer scales with how the node progresses.
- 32:21
That's actually an extremely fast unpacking time.
- 32:24
But typically, it's going to be on the ground.
- 32:26
On the scale of days.
- 32:27
Okay.
- 32:28
Very cool.
- 32:29
And what about these everburn scented candles?
- 32:32
Those are commodities.
- 32:33
You're going to be able to sell that to the commodity man.
- 32:35
Oh, do I put those where?
- 32:37
In the storage?
- 32:38
You can just leave them right there.
- 32:39
I can show you.
- 32:40
Come on this way.
- 32:41
All right.
- 32:42
Sweet, sweet, sweet.
- 32:43
And now, obviously, the unpack time, fees, everything associated with it, those are all options that you can choose to manipulate within a node.
- 32:54
So you can make your node kind of work.
- 32:55
You can make your node kind of the, you know, hub for trade or for landing caravans and whatnot, depending on the options that the cities choose.
- 33:03
Exactly.
- 33:04
So if you go ahead and talk to this vendor here.
- 33:07
Okay.
- 33:08
It should open up your storage as well.
- 33:10
And if you go to cargo.
- 33:14
All right.
- 33:15
Go to cargo.
- 33:16
And check out your cargo and mirrorleth.
- 33:18
Done.
- 33:20
You should be able to sell those commodities to this gentleman straight from your caravan inventory.
- 33:24
If you scroll down to the bottom of your cargo inventory.
- 33:27
Oh, there it is.
- 33:28
Yes.
- 33:29
Very nice.
- 33:30
Okay.
- 33:31
Cool.
- 33:32
Hold on.
- 33:33
Let me fix that.
- 33:34
Guys, remember, UI is a work in progress right now.
- 33:35
This is very functional, not playable.
- 33:40
Okay.
- 33:41
So I see a bunch of these.
- 33:42
I can sell them right now.
- 33:43
What am I selling them for?
- 33:44
You're selling them for gold.
- 33:46
You stole another man's potential gold.
- 33:49
I recovered them.
- 33:50
They stole it from us to begin with.
- 33:51
That's right.
- 33:52
Oh, sure, sure, sure.
- 33:53
We're the good guys, Chris.
- 33:56
Do I right-click those to sell them?
- 33:58
Yep.
- 33:59
Right-click them to sell them.
- 34:00
This is functionality we showed in the last livestream.
- 34:02
It's just they weren't yours to begin with.
- 34:04
Now I see when I right-click it, it opens up the crate, and inside I see nothing.
- 34:10
That could be a bug.
- 34:11
That's a bug.
- 34:12
That could be a bug.
- 34:14
Guys, you're going to see some bugs.
- 34:15
That's the way things go.
- 34:16
So last thing I want to show you, though, Steven.
- 34:18
Yes.
- 34:19
I want you to, while you're talking to this vendor, in your inventory,
- 34:23
your player inventory, you should have those stolen goods that you got from the crate that you opened up.
- 34:30
Oh, yes.
- 34:31
So if you talk to this gentleman and hover over it, it'll tell you how much they sell for to the commodity vendor.
- 34:38
But don't sell them.
- 34:40
Yeah, we know a guy, Steven.
- 34:44
I'm talking to this vendor, and do I just hover over them in my backpack?
- 34:50
Yep.
- 34:52
Sell price, it says, is zero.
- 34:54
So this man is not going to give you a lot of money for that.
- 34:58
How dare this man.
- 35:00
We've got a guy.
- 35:01
Come follow me.
- 35:02
Yeah, we got a guy.
- 35:03
Oh, he doesn't trade in stolen goods.
- 35:05
Yeah, he's a reputable vendor.
- 35:07
Okay.
- 35:08
All right.
- 35:10
We're looking for somebody over here.
- 35:13
So this is the new upgraded marketplace here in Miraleth.
- 35:17
Now, as we kind of briefly mentioned, there are upgrade paths to the marketplace.
- 35:20
Okay.
- 35:21
There are upgrade paths to the marketplace.
- 35:23
Now, this one's been expanded.
- 35:25
So if you follow me into this little back alley and into this little outhouse.
- 35:30
Oh.
- 35:33
Okay.
- 35:34
We've found the black market.
- 35:36
My goodness.
- 35:39
Ophelia Blackwater.
- 35:42
Now, this was because this is an expansion that Miraleth has in their market.
- 35:46
Correct.
- 35:47
Yeah.
- 35:48
So marketplaces don't normally come with a black market.
- 35:50
This is a part of the expansion tree.
- 35:52
So it's a choice you can make on your marketplace to be where bandits take their stuff.
- 35:57
So I'm going to right click on the stolen commodities.
- 35:59
Yep.
- 36:02
Oh, okay.
- 36:03
It just gave me some gold.
- 36:07
Very nice.
- 36:10
I've sold it.
- 36:11
And now you have to pay us all.
- 36:12
So everyone line up to get traded.
- 36:13
All right.
- 36:14
Yep.
- 36:15
Where's my cut?
- 36:16
Oh, yeah.
- 36:17
Everybody line up.
- 36:18
All right.
- 36:19
That's it.
- 36:20
All right.
- 36:21
Well done.
- 36:22
And then just wait here.
- 36:23
I'll be right back.
- 36:24
Oh, no, no.
- 36:25
Wait.
- 36:26
Let me.
- 36:27
Block the door.
- 36:28
Oh, no.
- 36:29
Okay.
- 36:30
I'll be back.
- 36:31
You guys stay there.
- 36:32
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just seen some PVP.
- 36:33
We've seen some whitewater rafting.
- 36:34
We've seen some caravan events.
- 36:35
And we've had a great time.
- 36:36
A little bit of some bugs, obviously.
- 36:37
This is still our road to Alpha 2.
- 36:38
So that's to be expected.
- 36:39
But I do want to thank you all for joining us today.
- 36:40
Thank you.
- 36:41
Bye.
- 36:42
Bye.
- 36:43
Bye.
- 36:44
Bye.
- 36:45
Bye.
- 36:46
Bye.
- 36:47
Bye.
- 36:48
Bye.
- 36:49
And I do want to thank obviously our developers for joining us and explaining everything,
- 36:53
our testers for helping participate so that we're able to show off all of these systems.
- 36:58
And as a reminder, of course, I know I can't say this enough.
- 37:02
As we continue to progress towards Alpha 2, you will continue to see polish be done, bugs
- 37:09
get fixed, stability improved, performance improved.
- 37:12
Right now, we are on that road.
- 37:14
We have just come off of heavy development of our feature and core systems.
- 37:19
our features and core systems and now we're going to be refining that we're going to be tightening
- 37:23
that loop and we're going to be um fixing things up so that we can get a lot of people in game and
- 37:28
start testing these uh these systems i hope you guys enjoyed today uh we had a lot of fun doing
- 37:33
it um and there's a lot of stuff still yet to show but with that being said thank you all for
- 37:39
joining me and thank you for watching we'll see you back on stream
- 37:49
you
