• 00:00

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another day in Vera.

• 00:25

Happy to be with you guys again.

• 00:27

I can't believe that it is the end of July, but we have a fun presentation to show you

• 00:32

guys today.

• 00:33

An update on the cleric kit and also a little bit of a showcase for the Highwomen Hills

• 00:40

area which is a very cool point of interest.

• 00:42

I am joined by two of our glorious designers whom you have spoken with before in the past.

• 00:49

They are our resident Dr. Bucky.

• 00:51

Bucky, how you doing buddy?

• 00:52

Good, I'm doing great.

• 00:54

Welcome sir.

• 00:55

And we also have our glorious combat designer Mr. Trad.

• 00:59

How you doing Trad?

• 01:00

Doing great.

• 01:01

Happy to be here again.

• 01:02

Yeah, happy to have you guys both.

• 01:04

So obviously clerics are near and dear to a lot of people's hearts.

• 01:07

We had a little bit of a showcase for the cleric.

• 01:10

Gosh, when was that?

• 01:12

That was like, that was last year, yeah?

• 01:15

Yeah I think so.

• 01:16

A few livestreams ago, yeah.

• 01:17

Yeah, it was quite a few.

• 01:18

And we were in, I think we were in that cemetery area and we were kind of showcasing some things.

• 01:24

And the community gave us a lot of great feedback and your guys' team on the combat strike team

• 01:29

have now had an opportunity to kind of go through, analyze and collect that feedback,

• 01:34

incorporate it as part of our development process.

• 01:37

And we have a little bit more extensive of a kit today to show.

• 01:40

I think we have roughly 18 abilities or, how many abilities are we showing off today?

• 01:44

Yeah, somewhere between 16 and 18 on there.

• 01:47

Yeah, it's very exciting.

• 01:51

Big increase gives a much more comprehensive look at the core kit for the archetype which

• 01:56

is super exciting.

• 01:58

So before we begin, why don't we perhaps talk a little bit about the area that we are in.

• 02:05

And by the way, yes this is a noble warhorn.

• 02:09

He is a big fella.

• 02:11

He's excited to get in there.

• 02:13

He's heard that there are some minotaurs that have taken up residence in what used to be

• 02:18

I think a bandit camp.

• 02:21

Look at how, aw we don't have sounds associated with him yet.

• 02:24

Sorry guys, sound effects.

• 02:25

I'll be done.

• 02:26

Okay, perfect, thank you.

• 02:27

Hold on, we've got to time that.

• 02:28

We've got to time that right.

• 02:29

Hold on, three, two, thank you Bucky, that was perfect.

• 02:36

And that is why you are Dr. Bucky.

• 02:38

No, but tell us a little bit about this place, the Highwayman Hills.

• 02:43

Yeah, so we're venturing into the Highwayman Hills, a place notorious for bandit activity,

• 02:49

always dangerous to run a caravan through here, even just looking at these walls here,

• 02:53

you could see we could get jumped at any moment.

• 02:56

But yeah, so it used to be resided by bandits, but now there's a story arc that's been triggered.

• 03:03

So the Shattercloud tribe of Minotaur, I've recently seized control of the area, so we're

• 03:07

going to be seeing a lot of Minotaur activity now instead.

• 03:10

And that's part of the whole, how story arcs are intended to kind of change the environment,

• 03:15

the world.

• 03:16

You know, obviously we saw this a little bit with the Tower of Carthin presentation, but

• 03:21

the spawners are adaptive based on the state of the world, and that state is inclusive

• 03:27

of the story arc conditions, yeah?

• 03:29

Yeah, exactly, and if we're able to complete our quest here, we might further change as

• 03:34

well.

• 03:36

This is absolutely beautiful, I can't believe Environment has done a tremendously glorious

• 03:41

job in creating, I love the canopy through the approach into the Highwaymen Hill zone.

• 03:48

It is super cool.

• 03:49

Yeah, it looks great with the god rays coming in.

• 03:51

Oh yeah, you can't have enough god rays, as Tristan knows.

• 03:57

So do we have a quest for this area, or what are we seeing here?

• 04:02

Ooh, location entered, okay, so we actually now are in the Highwaymen Hills.

• 04:07

I should let my noble warhorn off here.

• 04:12

Might get dangerous.

• 04:14

You've been a trusty steed, my friend, but this area is just far too dangerous for your

• 04:18

kind.

• 04:19

So, just hang out here and we'll be back.

• 04:22

Okay, so I think, you know, what's been relatively successful in the past, or the community has

• 04:26

enjoyed is when we kind of spend a little bit of time up front going through each of

• 04:30

these abilities, describing what they do, and then we can do some gameplay and kind

• 04:34

of show off the kit in action.

• 04:37

We might want to take a volunteer, because I know this is all healing-centric for the

• 04:41

most part, which means we'll actually have to have a target.

• 04:45

Bucky, would you like to be that target?

• 04:47

Sure, yes.

• 04:48

Got a dude right here in the shade, is this good?

• 04:50

Oh my god, this is hopefully not a sign of things to come, but there's a corpse next

• 04:53

to you.

• 04:54

I think it might be.

• 04:55

That guy didn't get any heals.

• 04:56

What happened to this guy?

• 04:57

Didn't get any heals, man.

• 04:58

That's what happens.

• 04:59

Oh my god, that's nice.

• 05:00

That's what happens.

• 05:07

Okay, so let's start off with this kit.

• 05:11

What is our first ability that we have?

• 05:15

Which one are you looking at?

• 05:16

Mend here?

• 05:17

Yeah, I'm looking at Mend.

• 05:18

It says that it instantly launches a healing projectile toward target ally.

• 05:24

Each charge of the ability consumed after the first has no mana cost.

• 05:27

Okay, that's nice.

• 05:28

And it restores an increasing amount of mana to the caster based on the number of missing

• 05:33

charges.

• 05:34

Consecutive uses of the ability will gain bonus healing.

• 05:37

So talk to me a little bit about the intent here.

• 05:38

This is kind of the efficient maintenance heal that you can fall back on if things aren't

• 05:44

hitting the fan too hard.

• 05:46

So if your target's not in immediate danger of dying, this is a lighter way to heal that

• 05:53

is much more efficient on your mana resource.

• 05:57

I'll just keep damaging myself so you can heal me.

• 05:59

Yeah, it's pretty nice and comfortable to use.

• 06:02

See the little floating projectiles.

• 06:04

It's not great for like a super reactive situation because they have that travel time.

• 06:11

But you still have the opportunity to use them.

• 06:14

It's more like a predictive heal, right?

• 06:16

Like when you don't need to immediately respond to a bad situation.

• 06:21

And just to keep in mind guys, as of course, as always, this is very necessary for us to

• 06:25

say this is still a work in progress.

• 06:27

We are working towards our alpha 2.

• 06:29

You're going to see the state of the UI is not in its final form.

• 06:34

Same is true for the visual effects and everything else, right?

• 06:38

Everything is always in the state of polish and kind of refinement or excuse me, when

• 06:42

we get to that state.

• 06:45

But that's what you're kind of seeing now.

• 06:46

So this is a pretty useful ability.

• 06:48

You're intended to kind of like weave this in between your normal rotation, yeah?

• 06:52

Yeah, so like one of the reasons this came to be for the kit is in the last version of

• 06:58

the kit, we felt like, you know, you were kind of swapping between cooldowns because

• 07:03

you just used whatever was up, but you didn't really have a comfortable like fall back.

• 07:07

And so this one serves as more of a filler activity that's a little more freely usable

• 07:11

and more spammable.

• 07:13

A lot of healers we played in past games, you know, they have that heal, like that core

• 07:17

heal that you can just kind of use back to back and that one is like filling that role

• 07:22

to a degree.

• 07:23

Yeah, super cool.

• 07:24

Sorry, but oh, yeah, between this one and then the next one deliverance, they're both

• 07:28

kind of like your core filler heals that you're constantly like your bread and butter is really

• 07:32

awesome.

• 07:33

So deliverance, let's talk a little bit about that.

• 07:36

This is it says a held ability, which means that it's a variable charge value.

• 07:41

Yeah, yeah.

• 07:43

I really like this one.

• 07:44

I'm sure it's there's something out there, but I've never actually played a healer that

• 07:49

had a like a casted heal that you could release at various points of time.

• 07:53

And it just to me, it seems like it fits heal really well because of its reactive nature.

• 07:58

So you can like release it.

• 07:59

You can kind of like hold it in.

• 08:01

You know, if your targets, you're almost like playing kind of Russian roulette with your

• 08:05

target, like you're pushing it to the last second to get the most value.

• 08:07

Yeah, it's a really nice like tool to have to be able to like cook the heal.

• 08:11

Basically, if you think the target's going to take some more damage, you get more value

• 08:13

out of it.

• 08:14

The other cool thing about this one is that it scales based on the missing health of the

• 08:18

target.

• 08:19

So if you cast it on me now, I'm at full health.

• 08:20

It'll heal for a lot less than when I'm when I'm pretty low.

• 08:24

That's super cool.

• 08:26

Whoops.

• 08:27

OK, let's try you.

• 08:28

It's super low.

• 08:31

So holding it full length, you go from about seven eighty to about fourteen hundred.

• 08:39

And that would have been even more if his health were even lower.

• 08:42

So like he said, if you were at like, I'll get super low here.

• 08:45

Yeah.

• 08:46

So you'll you'll see an even bigger.

• 08:47

So it scales on two axes.

• 08:49

Basically, it's scaling on both missing nine.

• 08:51

Yeah.

• 08:52

Scaling on both missing health and the amount of time.

• 08:55

Oh, wow.

• 08:56

That's cool.

• 08:58

Yeah.

• 08:59

Yeah.

• 09:00

I like the Russian roulette aspect of it.

• 09:02

I can just imagine the amount of friction that's going to cause in parties when the cleric player

• 09:08

wants to maximize the efficacy of the heel versus the player recipient.

• 09:13

That's like, whoa, man.

• 09:14

A drama between tanks and healers is what MMOs are all about.

• 09:18

Absolutely.

• 09:19

That's like standard staple interaction.

• 09:21

OK, cool.

• 09:23

So that's that's a super cool ability.

• 09:25

Talk to me a little bit about soothing glow.

• 09:28

This is a bread and butter region spell.

• 09:30

You know, it's got you have three charges of it.

• 09:34

You can either stack them all on one target and they don't stack in healing, but they

• 09:38

will stack in duration.

• 09:39

So if you just want like a really long duration heal on your tank or region on your tank,

• 09:43

then you can do that.

• 09:44

Or you can spread it out for more effective healing per second by having them all tick

• 09:48

simultaneously on three different targets.

• 09:50

So there's a couple of different ways to use this.

• 09:53

Super cool.

• 09:54

I love obviously hots are something you try to keep up often.

• 09:59

So this also has charges.

• 10:00

Yep.

• 10:01

Three charges.

• 10:04

Nice, very cool.

• 10:05

All right.

• 10:06

I see we have a flash cure.

• 10:07

Talk to me about the flash cure.

• 10:09

Another charge based thing.

• 10:10

This is actually the last one.

• 10:11

So it's not like all the abilities.

• 10:13

Everything is charges, charges, stacks on stacks.

• 10:16

They just happen to be very front loaded here.

• 10:17

But this is your last charge based ability.

• 10:21

This is an instant heal.

• 10:23

The neat gimmick about this one is you can use it during other abilities.

• 10:27

It's kind of like our version of what you would refer to as OGCD or an off global cooldown.

• 10:34

We only actually have a global cooldown in the game right now, but it serves as that

• 10:39

kind of thing where, for example, one way I like to use this is if you're charging deliverance,

• 10:44

you could even push it a little further by hitting that flash cure as you're charging

• 10:50

up deliverance.

• 10:51

Now, presumably, though, you wouldn't want to flash cure while you're using deliverance

• 10:58

unless you're afraid that they're going to die.

• 11:01

Exactly.

• 11:02

Or you could also just let go of deliverance and just go off right there and there.

• 11:05

So you kind of have choices there.

• 11:06

And whether you want to try to get maximum deliverance value by throwing a flash cure

• 11:10

or just making sure your target doesn't die.

• 11:13

Cool.

• 11:14

That's super cool.

• 11:15

I like that kind of oh shit button, so to speak, right?

• 11:19

Where essentially, you know, for me as a person who's main healer often, it's always a very

• 11:27

tense situation when you're waiting for that massive group heal cast time to go off or,

• 11:32

you know, whatever massive burst heal that you're trying to do.

• 11:35

And you know, you're puckering up because who knows if they're going to live during

• 11:39

that cast time.

• 11:40

But if you need to, you can always pop a little bit of flash cure.

• 11:43

Yeah, it's fun to use.

• 11:44

It's minute.

• 11:45

Yeah.

• 11:46

You were going to say Trent?

• 11:47

I was just saying it's fun to use.

• 11:50

It's like a nice little emergency tool because, you know, a lot of the time you're as a healer,

• 11:54

you're like waiting for that you'll go off.

• 11:56

You're like, come on, come on, come on.

• 11:57

And sometimes you miss it.

• 11:58

It feels a little bad.

• 11:59

And this is a way to this is an answer to that.

• 12:02

Yeah.

• 12:03

Super cool.

• 12:04

Okay, next one we have here.

• 12:05

The resplendent beam.

• 12:06

Talk to me about that one.

• 12:08

We've seen that and we've seen an iteration of that in the past.

• 12:10

Yeah, this is a returning one, but it's it's seen a little bit of change before it was

• 12:15

just you popped it and they would do a chain heal.

• 12:19

Now you can use it like use it on Bucky.

• 12:21

Just hit it like tap the button just to tap tap tap tap tap a room.

• 12:25

All right.

• 12:26

Exactly.

• 12:27

There you go.

• 12:28

And so you can use it as a quick single target heal that way.

• 12:30

But you can also charge it.

• 12:32

So this is another held ability.

• 12:33

And the longer you charge it, the more targets it will bounce between.

• 12:37

So you'll if you do it again and hold it, you'll see that I should probably set my cooldowns

• 12:42

to zero for this portion of the journey.

• 12:45

Yeah, that'd be good.

• 12:46

Yeah, it kind of has the you can use it just instant cast to get a quick heal off on someone

• 12:51

or you can decide to charge it up basically and have it bounced a bunch of people.

• 12:54

If you charge it all the way, it should bounce between all of us.

• 12:56

We'll try and let me try the quick cast again real quick.

• 13:00

All right.

• 13:01

So that's the quick cast and then I'll charge it up.

• 13:04

Nice.

• 13:05

Oh, super cool.

• 13:07

Okay.

• 13:08

I like I'm just like with the animation.

• 13:13

It's just like everyone stand back.

• 13:16

Yeah, animators do some pretty cool work.

• 13:19

That's cool.

• 13:20

Very nice.

• 13:21

Okay.

• 13:22

I like that.

• 13:23

I like the dual purpose nature of that.

• 13:24

And obviously, this is a great point of feedback for those of you in the audience who are kind

• 13:26

of watching and taking a look at this class kit.

• 13:29

You know, do you like the versatility on a bespoke basis per ability where you kind of

• 13:34

have alternate types of functionality that's up to the user to determine based on the situation?

• 13:40

Or do you like more static use cases, right?

• 13:44

Something that is very specific and you have to kind of use it for that situation.

• 13:50

That's a great question to get feedback on.

• 13:51

Personally, myself, I think that providing the user a bit more flexibility and versatility

• 13:55

in the use of these abilities makes for interesting gameplay, a lot of agency for the player to

• 14:01

kind of move between.

• 14:02

Okay, let's move to the next one.

• 14:04

Bless weapon.

• 14:05

Talk to me about this one.

• 14:06

This is one of my favorites.

• 14:07

This is like basically a utility, a mana utility that you can use on either yourself or an

• 14:14

ally.

• 14:15

So it's kind of like a decision point of do I want to, you know, sacrifice some of my

• 14:19

own mana resource management in exchange for helping out an ally.

• 14:24

One way I like to use this is I'll just kind of look at my own mana or someone else's and

• 14:28

it's like, oh, the tank's like really low.

• 14:29

I'll throw this on them for now and then I'll put it on myself later.

• 14:33

The eventual idea, it's not set up this way currently, but the idea is you can like freely

• 14:37

kind of switch it around between yourself and different party members.

• 14:41

Right now it's just on a cool down.

• 14:43

Okay, so I'm going to use this on myself and what effect are we going to see right now?

• 14:48

So it'll bless your weapon as it is appropriately named.

• 14:52

And while that is, oh, you gave it to me.

• 14:55

Yes, shoot.

• 14:56

So that means if Bucky were to attack an enemy, he would return mana per hit.

• 15:02

Okay, so we'll show that off when we get into the minutes.

• 15:04

But it's only weapon combos.

• 15:05

Yeah, okay, got it.

• 15:07

Cool, cool, cool, cool.

• 15:09

All right.

• 15:10

I see also we have here, let's go to judgment.

• 15:12

We have judgment.

• 15:13

We saw a version of this in the past.

• 15:14

Yeah.

• 15:15

So judgments, we since changed judgments.

• 15:17

Now it's a lot longer of a cast.

• 15:21

But effectively it's similar where you can either cast it on an enemy to do a huge portion

• 15:25

of damage or you can cast on an ally to do a huge heal.

• 15:27

So it's kind of a big charged nuke.

• 15:29

Yeah.

• 15:30

Nice.

• 15:31

You want to do some damage to yourself here?

• 15:33

Let me show that off.

• 15:35

Let's see.

• 15:36

It has received the juicing.

• 15:39

I'm sorry, apologies.

• 15:41

The juice, the juice box, the juice box.

• 15:43

Thank you.

• 15:44

Oh, whoops, that's wrong one.

• 15:46

Oh yeah.

• 15:48

Okay.

• 15:49

Super cool.

• 15:50

So not as big as deliverance when they're fully charged deliverance to low health, but

• 15:54

it's still pretty big and it even if they're high, it'll heal for the same amount.

• 15:58

So it's kind of nice.

• 15:59

Okay, cool.

• 16:01

What's this one?

• 16:02

What's communal restoration?

• 16:03

Another one.

• 16:06

That's a returning, another familiar, turning the failure cleric spell is a, this one's

• 16:12

been changed a little bit too, but it's mostly the same.

• 16:14

It's still a party based heal.

• 16:17

It's really your only party based heal that doesn't have any proximity unless like they're

• 16:21

really far, but it extends pretty far to all party members.

• 16:23

It does a direct heal, but it also has a hot component.

• 16:27

So it's like, or again, not super responsive, but it's very good value.

• 16:33

And like an eight person group.

• 16:35

Yeah.

• 16:36

It's also giving some temporary hit points.

• 16:37

You can see, I think in the UI, a little bit of temp HP.

• 16:40

Oh, let's see where that is.

• 16:42

Where's that at?

• 16:43

It should be a little a blue bar overlay on the health bars.

• 16:46

See that little, it's a little portion of temp health there.

• 16:49

Oh yeah.

• 16:50

I see that.

• 16:51

Okay, cool.

• 16:52

So this can overcast.

• 16:53

Yeah.

• 16:54

Once the effect expires to the temp health will go away.

• 16:55

So if it wasn't, you know, you weren't damaged in the time, then it's not effective healing.

• 17:01

It feels like perhaps the, the instant health received from this might be a little low.

• 17:08

Is that the intent or?

• 17:09

It is a little low.

• 17:11

And I mean, this, obviously all of these things are kind of in early iterations, nothing super

• 17:16

balanced.

• 17:17

Things are kind of balanced, but like for this one, it's like, okay, the value is one,

• 17:22

you don't have to worry about positioning of your team.

• 17:24

It just hits everybody.

• 17:25

And if in an eight person group, that kind of adds up a lot.

• 17:29

Plus the hot effect and all the other stuff going on.

• 17:32

Cool.

• 17:33

Super cool.

• 17:34

All right.

• 17:35

What's this next one?

• 17:36

We have consecrating wave.

• 17:37

This one's pretty sweet.

• 17:38

So this one's a frontal cone heal.

• 17:40

So you don't have, you don't need a target for this one.

• 17:42

You can just cast it and it'll shoot it forward based on the clear looking and it'll heal

• 17:45

everyone that hits all allies.

• 17:47

And then it'll also damage enemies that hits too.

• 17:48

So it has a dual purpose as well.

• 17:52

It's a we damage it.

• 17:53

Wow.

• 17:54

That's cool.

• 17:55

It looks great.

• 17:56

In contrast to communal restoration, this one's a bit more powerful.

• 18:01

Also does damage.

• 18:03

So that's kind of the trade offs is you have to, you know, it costs you in your positioning,

• 18:07

but then it's an exchange for a bit more power.

• 18:10

Something we talked about doing, I don't think I've done yet was making it a split between

• 18:14

all the targets hit.

• 18:15

So if you hit a lot of targets, it'll do less.

• 18:18

And like if you hit half enemies, half allies, it'll split the total throughput, but we haven't,

• 18:23

I don't think we've done that part yet.

• 18:25

Very cool.

• 18:26

Very cool.

• 18:27

All right.

• 18:28

Talk to me a little bit about divine flare.

• 18:29

Yeah.

• 18:30

This one is another, um, kind of what I referred to as like action heals, the Consecrating

• 18:37

Wave and divine flare.

• 18:38

They're, they're heals that you have to aim in world.

• 18:41

Um, so this is this one, if you put it on the ground, it's like a delayed AOE.

• 18:46

Um, if you want to try that on Bucky or something.

• 18:50

And after Bucky, you look like you need some health.

• 18:52

I'm dying.

• 18:53

All right, here, let me help you.

• 18:55

Oh, you gotta get in it.

• 18:58

Oh, that's so good.

• 19:02

What's interesting about that one is, um, it's all, it would also split amongst targets.

• 19:06

So I got a bigger heal there cause Bucky didn't make it in time.

• 19:09

Um, it is kind of a funny little like mind game going there of, Oh, I'm going to jump

• 19:13

in there, but it's at the expense of his health cause I'm stealing it.

• 19:17

Tanks only please in this AOE.

• 19:18

Get these trash mates out.

• 19:20

Yeah, the more social conflict dynamics going on, name it again.

• 19:26

I like the, uh, excuse me.

• 19:31

Um, had to cough for a second.

• 19:33

I like the delayed functionality in that ability.

• 19:37

I think that's super cool, especially for an AOE skill.

• 19:40

And telegraphing the location obviously with the ground based decal for the party is definitely

• 19:45

a very proactive one.

• 19:46

Yeah, exactly.

• 19:47

Yeah, it's super cool.

• 19:48

Um, all right, awesome.

• 19:51

Uh, let's talk a little bit about barrier.

• 19:55

So barrier is the classic kind of shield spell you'd expect to see from a healer kit.

• 19:59

So, but the, with the added twists that, um, you have to sacrifice a bit of your own health

• 20:03

as the healer to cast it.

• 20:04

So it doesn't actually use man.

• 20:06

I don't think it just, you sacrifice portion of your health to directly give to another

• 20:09

player for time.

• 20:10

Okay.

• 20:11

I like that.

• 20:12

That's cool.

• 20:13

Yeah, that looks pretty good.

• 20:14

And it's a clear delineation obviously in the, in the, uh, style of the shield bubble

• 20:22

so that you can distinguish between, you know, other bubble types, right?

• 20:29

Like the mages bubble.

• 20:30

Yeah, we could be doing a comparison.

• 20:33

Yeah.

• 20:34

Oh, there you go.

• 20:35

Yeah.

• 20:36

Oh, your bubble brothers.

• 20:37

Do you guys bounce off of each other?

• 20:40

Yeah, we just bubble physics in.

• 20:44

Yeah.

• 20:45

Here have some help.

• 20:47

Okay.

• 20:48

Um, let's talk a little bit about the chains of restraint.

• 20:52

Yeah.

• 20:53

This one's pretty similar to what it was before.

• 20:55

Um, it does damage over time.

• 20:58

So it's a really good, it's, it's pretty much the primary AOE damage tool of the cleric,

• 21:02

which isn't really the primary role of the cleric.

• 21:05

Um, but you know, they get some, and it also applies stagger.

• 21:10

So it kind of provides some offensive support.

• 21:12

Um, saggers, for example, synergizes very well with some tank abilities, which, um,

• 21:17

what it effectively does is, um, extends the duration of a trip, which is, which is a knockdown.

• 21:22

Um, so if you've like stacked up a bunch of stagger on an enemy and then trip them, they

• 21:27

spend more time hard to succeed than if they hadn't been staggered at all.

• 21:31

Very cool.

• 21:32

And obviously as we said, guys, um, just so you're aware when it comes to the development

• 21:37

of the abilities, um, you know, there is a specific pipeline that includes ideation into,

• 21:43

uh, the bare bones kind of standing up with the functionality with design.

• 21:48

And then it moves to, uh, animation to provide final animation sets.

• 21:52

And then it moves to, uh, visual effects and then it moves to audio effects.

• 21:57

Um, and visual effects and audio effects that tend to be at the end of that pipeline, um,

• 22:00

are usually the things that get, uh, that still need works that are still heavily works

• 22:06

in progress.

• 22:07

Um, you're seeing the visual effects now, but obviously that will change in the future.

• 22:11

Okay.

• 22:12

Let's talk a little bit about defiant light.

• 22:14

Yeah.

• 22:15

So this one's a, uh, really good tool for saving someone who's in danger of dying.

• 22:19

It's very powerful.

• 22:20

I'm in danger.

• 22:21

Yeah.

• 22:22

Which one?

• 22:23

Okay.

• 22:24

So, uh, it applies, first of all, it applies a huge, uh, heal over time to the target,

• 22:26

but if they die while the seal over time is in effect, um, it'll prevent their death

• 22:31

and heal them for a flat amount and dispel it itself.

• 22:34

So it's kind of like a, Oh, Oh wow.

• 22:38

I don't think it works with nuke.

• 22:39

Oh no.

• 22:40

That's fine.

• 22:41

Just planted.

• 22:42

Um, you said that it would keep you alive.

• 22:47

We'll see if it actually works in action.

• 22:53

We'll use it in action.

• 22:54

Yeah.

• 22:55

Yeah.

• 22:56

Okay.

• 22:57

I'm sorry.

• 22:58

I just wanted to, I, you said it'll keep you alive.

• 22:59

So the first thing that came to mind is let me kill you.

• 23:06

If that happened and that was real damage, um, it would, he would have prevented the

• 23:11

death.

• 23:12

The effect would be removed and then he would receive a heal up to like 25% of his HP.

• 23:16

Awesome.

• 23:17

I don't trust this clerk.

• 23:18

Okay.

• 23:19

Cool.

• 23:20

Okay.

• 23:21

So that's a defiant light, not as defined as we thought it would be, but hopefully it

• 23:26

will be, uh, when we get into combat.

• 23:29

Okay.

• 23:30

Healing touch.

• 23:31

Talk to me a little bit about this.

• 23:32

Uh, that's a, that's a melee heal.

• 23:34

Basically you have to be up next to your target, but it is an insta cast and it's a pretty

• 23:38

fat heal.

• 23:39

So it, again, it's kind of like consecrating wave.

• 23:43

It's being costed more on its positioning by rewards.

• 23:46

Uh, you know, maybe if some of our more melee built clerics would really want to lean into

• 23:51

this, um, because they, they have that positioning advantage for it.

• 23:55

Oh, there you go.

• 23:57

Okay.

• 23:58

What I take it, I give us.

• 24:01

There you are.

• 24:02

Have health.

• 24:03

This one comes really nicely too with the, uh, the next ability, the, um, wings of salvation

• 24:08

because it'll let you get into melee and then you can follow it up with a, uh, healing touch

• 24:12

on a Thurlow.

• 24:13

Yeah.

• 24:14

This is essentially an ally gap closer.

• 24:16

Um, so this is, you must have an ally targeted and, and definition of an ally is going to

• 24:22

be any non combatant player, uh, and non mob NPC.

• 24:28

Correct.

• 24:29

Okay.

• 24:30

Ooh, that's kind of cool.

• 24:32

Oh, it's missing.

• 24:33

I think it's missing audio effects.

• 24:34

Let's see.

• 24:35

Oh no, there it goes.

• 24:36

Yeah.

• 24:37

Okay.

• 24:38

We got to give it the full Phoenix sound on signature Phoenix ability.

• 24:45

Oh, the audio might be a little bit bugged, but that's okay.

• 24:49

As we said, all things are worked in progress.

• 24:52

Nice.

• 24:53

There it is.

• 24:54

The one to healing touch follow up.

• 24:56

Yeah.

• 24:57

Okay.

• 24:58

So I'm going to T into shift T got it.

• 24:59

Yeah.

• 25:00

That's pretty cool.

• 25:01

There you go.

• 25:02

Combo.

• 25:03

What if I T while flashing and then shift T hold on.

• 25:07

Oh, I haven't even tried that.

• 25:09

Oh my God.

• 25:10

Wait, hold on.

• 25:11

Oh, that worked.

• 25:12

It all happened so fast.

• 25:13

I can't even super healing.

• 25:14

I'm going to go with the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the,

• 25:17

the, the, the, the super healing sort of work.

• 25:19

I use like two hands, okay, cool.

• 25:22

So we got, we got wings of salvation and then I'm looking here.

• 25:28

We have smite, condemn and divine infusion talked to, we can't show smite or condemn.

• 25:34

We'll use those on enemies here in a second, but let's talk about divine infusion.

• 25:37

And this one is a bigger topic.

• 25:40

Yeah.

• 25:41

So, um, we'll talk about the class resource and then how this plays into it.

• 25:47

You'll notice if you look at the top left, there are now three resource bars for the cleric.

• 25:52

And that third one you might have seen going up and down as he's been healing.

• 25:58

But this resource regenerates based on how much healing and damage you've been doing over the last

• 26:04

10 seconds. So the more radiant damage and the more you're healing, and it's only effective

• 26:08

healing so you can't overheal for this, but the more you're doing it the faster this resource

• 26:13

will build up. And the way you spend this resource is on an ability called Divine Infusion.

• 26:19

And what this is, is if you have enough resource to complete the cast of a spell,

• 26:26

you can use this during the cast of a spell and it will auto-complete that spell.

• 26:30

I've never actually seen a mechanic like this in a game before. It was a pretty cool idea that came

• 26:34

up across the design time. Yeah, very cool. Okay, so essentially I am gonna build up some of the unique

• 26:44

energy. I'm gonna do that by healing Bucky and then I am going to use a long cast ability and

• 26:50

I'm going to attempt to use Divine Infusion to complete that cast sooner than normally would be

• 26:56

possible. And just to be clear, if I were not to let's say use that ability, then I would have a

• 27:02

passive benefit for my character while that energy is maintained that amplifies some spell efficacy

• 27:11

as a healer. Yep. Cool. Okay, so let me try to get some of this stuff. Whoops. Oh, I got one off of

• 27:25

that. Okay, so it's gradually earning it over time. Yeah, like when you heal it kind of gives you some

• 27:31

generation of this resource then it kind of rewards you the actual resource over time so

• 27:36

you can see it kind of filling in your bar. Yeah, we've been referring to this as like a

• 27:40

heat mechanic, right? So it's not like a direct instant translation of you heal this much and you

• 27:46

get this resource immediately. It's like ramping up your region and build up rate. Okay.

• 27:53

All right, now I'm going to use Judgment and then I'm going to pop my Divine Infusion.

• 28:05

That's me. I don't think it would work.

• 28:10

Oh, look at that and it consumed some of that. Okay, very cool. Yeah, I was able to do two.

• 28:17

I like that. Another oh shit button. Very cool. Yeah, Cleric. This version of the Cleric has a

• 28:26

lot of tools in its kit. Just to set expectations, you know, that not any given Cleric build would

• 28:32

probably have all of these things. You would spec into certain ones. Most likely we're still

• 28:38

working that out. Awesome. Okay, so let's take a look then at some of those more offensive abilities.

• 28:45

Let us perhaps find a potential target here. Got a group of Minotaurs right up here.

• 28:52

Smite and Condemn. You think we can peel just one of them off? Uh, we could try. I can grapple one.

• 28:57

Actually, let me heal you. Yeah, Tread could sleep the other two actually too.

• 29:03

Oh, let me set my cooldowns so that I'm not cheating too much. Back to standard.

• 29:09

Want to sleep the back two Tread? I'll grapple the front one. Sure.

• 29:17

All right, and then I'm going to use... What is Smite first before we do that? What is Smite?

• 29:24

Smite's just a... well, you can use it in two different ways as is a running theme with a

• 29:30

lot of our abilities, but you can use it from a range and it'll have a cast time and just do

• 29:34

damage to the target. And if you use it in melee, it's an instant cast. So again, one of those things

• 29:41

that you get a little more benefit for if you're up front. Okay, so it's going to apply a stack

• 29:47

of burning and deal instant damage to the target. Okay, and then just real quick, Condemn is a

• 29:54

straight up just stun? Correct. Yep, casted stun. All right, very cool. Okay, so in that case, let

• 30:03

me start by casting Judgment on it perhaps. Okay. While you prepare to sleep those two Rain Collars.

• 30:11

Okay. Okay, ready? Casting Judgment.

• 30:20

All right, okay, now you're good, Tank, if you want to grab it. Good luck. All right.

• 30:27

Oh, Smite, that's kind of cool.

• 30:37

Oh, that's very cool.

• 30:44

How you doing over there? Oh, GM Dread's taking some health.

• 30:47

Very cool. Okay, got the hang of this.

• 31:00

Well, I noticed that on this wand, I'm getting some health back a little bit.

• 31:07

This has some minimal lifesteal or something? Yeah, I think it's the one from Karthen.

• 31:12

Karthen wand, yeah. Nice, very cool. Little passive life leech. Very cool. All right, so I noticed that

• 31:20

we have a quest in this area. Or what is this? This is not a quest, this is a story arc. Yep. Yeah,

• 31:27

so we're going to try and go through this area and we're looking for, I think the first part of the

• 31:31

quest is a bag. You're on the quest, right, Steven? Looking for a back tax? I am on the quest. So

• 31:36

looking for a back tax. I am on the quest. So looking for a back tax. I'm on the quest.

• 31:40

I am on the quest. So let me just, here, why don't we just stand here real quick.

• 31:45

Up near the bridge. I just want to get a look at this. That looks great. Yeah, that does look really

• 31:52

cool. It's an old abandoned ruin. Yeah, this is just a beautiful area. I mean, it's, you know, I love

• 32:01

what the environment team has done. The ruins, the god rays, everything. Great job here. So what

• 32:09

are we doing next? What is this quest? Obviously some bandits have been expelled from the area.

• 32:16

There's some minotaurs and whatnot. What are we doing here? Yeah, so we're kind of coordinating

• 32:20

with one of the bandit leaders. So I think we're gonna have to find his bag to go meet up with

• 32:25

everything that's going on. We gotta fight through some minotaurs first. Okay, all right, cool. I got

• 32:30

your back. You just, you do your thing, chicken wing. I got you. I got a war graze too. All right.

• 32:44

I brought some friends because, uh, oh no, you're good, you're good, you're good, you're good.

• 32:51

I got you. The bear's looking at me. Oh, he's charging.

• 32:54

Oh, he mauled you. He knocked, did he knock you down? Yeah, I got knocked over a little bit.

• 33:00

I can knock him down too. Get him.

• 33:07

Nice, very nice ball lightning. Okay, trad doing some deeps.

• 33:15

Here, I can help you out with the deeps. Those brain collars are just on you.

• 33:18

Wow, it knows who the real threat in the party is. Yeah, he's like, I'm the only healer.

• 33:28

This Chris has so much health. Oh, I'm going. Oh, nice. Flash cure. I got you.

• 33:35

Flash cure. Flash cure. Look at that maximum efficacy on the, uh, deliverance.

• 33:41

On the deliverance. Oh my God, there's a bear. Oh no. Sleeping it.

• 33:52

Nice. Don't hit that bear.

• 33:58

We're good. This bear has so much health.

• 34:04

Okay, mana consumption's not too bad so far with the kid. Of course, as you guys all know, oh God,

• 34:10

it's standing. It's sensing you. It can smell the chocolate in your pockets like, what's that?

• 34:20

The mana consumption's not too bad. Now, obviously, I know we haven't gone through really

• 34:23

a balance pass between mana consumption and cooldowns and health return. So, if you, as you

• 34:29

guys are watching, just keep that in mind. You know, this is work in progress. We're really trying to

• 34:33

stand up the core functionality of the kit, um, and, and getting its play style to represent the

• 34:39

role, right? Especially within Synergy of the Holy Trinity. Hey, that wasn't too bad. Yeah,

• 34:50

you handled that, uh, the grouping pretty well. Thank you. Thank you.

• 34:54

It's some good coordination there. We almost got him. All right, there we go.

• 34:59

Oh yeah, there's two more in here.

• 35:02

Just bringing them over to you. You know, I don't want my tank to have to run so much,

• 35:06

right? Thank you. Yes, I appreciate it. Yeah, no worries. Or should I be like one of those other

• 35:11

tanks? Like, you touch the mobs, you tank it. How dare you? Don't you ever be in my party?

• 35:23

You know, those types of, uh, those types of tanks, and I know they're out there,

• 35:26

but if you are forcing someone else in the party to heal, it's because you're not keeping a face.

• 35:40

True. Facts. Very true. This is a nice little area. Okay. We're just taking a seat here.

• 35:45

Yeah, you know, just resting up, getting my mana back. Taking in the views. Very nice.

• 35:50

The views of the- So, okay.

• 35:51

The views of this shed? I was looking behind me. I'm looking behind me. I don't just look at a shed

• 35:58

and say views, but- Oh, sorry. You guys are out of control.

• 35:59

Okay. So talk to me a little bit about UI versus action healing, right? Obviously,

• 36:07

I have mained healers in the past. One of the things I enjoy between the predictive nature

• 36:12

of healing and the reactive nature of it is that, you know, it's very two different tempos,

• 36:16

and I like both of them, right? If I have to, you know, kind of- Wait, hold on before I get into

• 36:22

this. What is this? Is this a backpack? Is that a splints bag?

• 36:25

I don't touch bags that I don't own. Does one of you guys want to-

• 36:29

Okay. Should I do it?

• 36:30

Will it update? It'll update the story arc for everyone in the area, right?

• 36:34

I think so. If somebody can find it. Okay, go ahead.

• 36:36

Yeah. Got it. Let's see.

• 36:38

Splints bags must be nearby. Does it update for me? I don't know.

• 36:45

You can try clicking it. Okay. I will say- Oh, it did. It just updated

• 36:49

for me. Okay, got you.

• 36:50

Cool. All right. There we go. And as you guys know, obviously, UI is very work in progress.

• 36:55

We're still working on this. Okay. So predictive versus kind of reactive healing.

• 37:00

I like both, right? I love the- Excuse me. I like the ability for me to kind of have control over

• 37:08

the engagement and, you know, predict where I'm going to need to- This is a beautiful view.

• 37:12

Where I'm going to need to heal, but I also like the kind of whack-a-mole gameplay where I'm,

• 37:18

you know, interfacing with my- Oh, and let me see if I can move this actually.

• 37:22

As a healer, I tend to have my bar a little bit closer. Do I move anything else? Hold on.

• 37:35

I feel like when I start a new fight, I tend to be a lot more like reactive because I'm not used to

• 37:39

the damage patterns as much as a healer. But then as you kind of get more familiar and you kind of

• 37:44

know what to expect, you can start being a lot more predictive, which can certainly improve your

• 37:49

performance. And it's good to have tools for both in any kit. Oh yeah, for sure. Totally agree.

• 37:55

I see Splint across the way. Oh, is he up there up on that tower?

• 37:59

Yeah. See his rope he climbed up with maybe. Am I supposed to be killing- Are we killing him?

• 38:04

Or are we talking to him? I think we're- Oh, we're getting a chest key. Yeah, we're going to

• 38:08

coordinate with him. He wants to get these minotaurs out of the bandit camp. So we have to

• 38:12

work with the enemy a little bit here. Okay, so we're going down on those like drive over beds?

• 38:18

Yeah, I don't want to go through the front entrance. There's like a ton of minotaurs there,

• 38:20

so I think we should try and fight through this way maybe. We got a wolf. All right. Oh, okay.

• 38:26

Little wolf. Little baby wolf. Oh my gosh, he dodged my attack. What about you, Tread? What

• 38:30

do you like about predictive or reactive? I mean, I definitely like- The more tools you give me,

• 38:35

the better, right? I think we'll have different specs that mean one way or the other for all kinds

• 38:42

of different clerics. Obviously, as everyone knows, our class system will- You'll be able to

• 38:50

pick your class based on primary and sub archetype. And different classes will lean into

• 38:57

different directions. Some will be more predictive. And when we say predictive, we're usually talking

• 39:02

like hots and stuff are going to be a lot more predictive healers. Or like pre-shielding.

• 39:10

Yeah, pre-shielding and that kind of thing. Whereas reactive is going to be a lot more

• 39:14

instant heals that might be less efficient, but more adaptable to certain situations.

• 39:23

Heal me up, Steven. I got you. You got me. You're going to have full deliverance value there.

• 39:29

I think there's a bug on my targeting. I think the target switches off of you for some reason.

• 39:35

Oh, okay. My bad. I see you're throwing in some condemns there, weren't you? You were

• 39:41

stunning the- Yeah, I was doing a little bit of, you know. I was trying to help out.

• 39:45

That's good. I like when healers can help with the DPS and the healings.

• 39:49

We want to grab these guys. I was not going to go this way, but okay.

• 39:53

Oh, okay. We can do it. Just sleep the black one.

• 39:57

We got it. We got it. Yeah. Back up. Sleep him. Sleep him.

• 40:00

Nice sleep. Nice sleep. Oh, sleep. Huge sleep.

• 40:07

I was going to sneak around, but we can just blast to the front door. Why not?

• 40:12

We need to show off our ability. Yes. Maybe sleep again? Nope. Nope.

• 40:17

Sleep has a decent cooldown. Yeah, 10 seconds.

• 40:20

You're doing some good kiting. I am totally kiting these guys.

• 40:24

I got three of them, I think. All right. Sleep.

• 40:29

Yeah, healers will be generating threat, right? I see they're noticing your healing,

• 40:33

so they're going after you. It's taking me a bit of effort to get them off you.

• 40:38

I believe in you.

• 40:39

Let's see if I can stun that guy.

• 40:54

Drinking my last health potion. All right, I got you.

• 40:59

Two seconds for an XCC. Oh, nice. Yeah, you can see two of those.

• 41:03

I got two of them. Yep. Perfect. Perfect.

• 41:06

I gave you blessed weapons, so you can get some mana back.

• 41:10

Oh, nice. Yeah, I was running low.

• 41:16

All right. Look at that. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

• 41:21

Winner winner chicken dinner. Any other types of sayings you want to add to that?

• 41:26

Not even close, baby. Yes, thank you.

• 41:31

Great job. Great job. Yeah, well done.

• 41:33

I didn't even get to do my wings of salvation jump too and boom.

• 41:39

Oh, very good. Look at that. Such a good combo.

• 41:44

Yeah, we can just go. We were going to sneak around. Actually, let's do sneak around.

• 41:47

I want to sneak around. I like that. No, no, no, no. Stop, stop, stop.

• 41:51

Wait, wait, there's more. There's more wolves.

• 41:55

One at a time. One step at a time here. Don't do anything after.

• 41:57

I get all crazy here.

• 41:58

No, we're good. We're good. Let me just sleep this wolf over here. Or not sleep, but.

• 42:05

Just put him down.

• 42:07

Oops, that was an accident. That's an F. I think I just used up.

• 42:11

Got another wolf spawn too.

• 42:18

Okay, there we go. Not too bad. All right, come down this way.

• 42:23

Okay, let's go this way. Side entrance.

• 42:26

We didn't have to do any of that.

• 42:27

Aww. But then how else would we not, how else would we farm?

• 42:33

Yeah, come on, bro.

• 42:35

We got some loot, maybe.

• 42:37

This is cool. Okay, so like a little back entrance. All right.

• 42:39

Yeah, let's get through on the main gate.

• 42:42

I think we can sneak around these guys too.

• 42:44

Yeah, we should be careful in this area though because we might get aggro.

• 42:48

Yeah.

• 42:49

Yeah, you know, this, I feel like we can probably pull a little bit extra and see just how much we

• 42:56

can tax this healer. What do you guys think?

• 42:58

All right. I'll pull these three up here and maybe that fourth one.

• 43:02

All right.

• 43:03

Let's do it.

• 43:03

A little bit of potential heals.

• 43:05

Oh God, there's a wolf on me.

• 43:08

Okay, we'll find you.

• 43:08

Oh, morph through the gate.

• 43:10

Oh, this is gonna be good.

• 43:11

I'm gonna stun, I'm gonna stun the wolf.

• 43:14

Nice, drop the wolf first.

• 43:15

I'm taking some heals.

• 43:20

Aww, wreck that wolf.

• 43:22

All right, I've got.

• 43:23

What are we doing next?

• 43:24

I'm gonna get these, I'll get aggro on these guys.

• 43:26

Yeah, yeah, yeah, try to AOE if you can.

• 43:29

AOE it all down, big AOE.

• 43:31

I'm gonna do a trip.

• 43:34

I'm doing a delayed heal.

• 43:40

Yes, maximum AOE power.

• 43:42

Blizzard time.

• 43:43

Oh, you're doing the wave attack too, yeah.

• 43:48

Yes.

• 43:48

That one's so good.

• 43:50

Oh, we got it.

• 43:51

Delayed heal.

• 43:52

Nice.

• 43:52

Getting all the value out of it.

• 43:53

Try to get out some judgment.

• 43:59

Okay.

• 44:03

We're gonna sleep though.

• 44:05

Nice, we got it.

• 44:06

Easy.

• 44:07

That was super easy.

• 44:11

Either that or I'm just a literal god of a healer.

• 44:14

Okay, probably isn't.

• 44:16

Oh, you're using the full kit.

• 44:18

Thank you.

• 44:19

Here, I'm gonna do a little bit of a heal.

• 44:21

Here, have a barrier.

• 44:23

That compliment.

• 44:28

Okay, all right.

• 44:30

All right, so I think we just gotta go up through here.

• 44:33

Yeah, great job.

• 44:35

One more.

• 44:35

We need to have a discussion with world design for this population.

• 44:38

I mean, it's just not challenging enough.

• 44:40

Yeah, yeah.

• 44:40

Double it.

• 44:41

A few hundred minotaurs in here.

• 44:43

Double it.

• 44:44

Respawn rate, 10 seconds.

• 44:45

Here, I'll do another group here.

• 44:48

Oh yeah, let's do that.

• 44:49

Here, I'll just grab these guys.

• 44:50

Don't don't.

• 44:51

If I can grab that guy.

• 44:52

Sorry, sorry.

• 44:57

I just trust.

• 44:58

I trust now.

• 45:01

Yeah, just trust.

• 45:02

You're good.

• 45:03

I have full faith in my healer.

• 45:06

I bought some additional mobs.

• 45:08

Okay.

• 45:09

Oh god.

• 45:10

Oh my god.

• 45:12

We're getting a little cocky here.

• 45:14

I know, we're good.

• 45:15

He flew too close to the sun.

• 45:17

Two seconds on sleep.

• 45:18

Okay.

• 45:19

We are coming out now.

• 45:21

All right.

• 45:22

All right.

• 45:23

I think.

• 45:27

All right, there we go.

• 45:27

Okay.

• 45:29

Okay, helping myself.

• 45:30

Oh yeah, they're on you trying to get them off you.

• 45:35

Oh my god.

• 45:37

I'm dying.

• 45:39

Where are you?

• 45:40

I'm running a little bit.

• 45:41

I think I think they're off you.

• 45:44

Okay.

• 45:44

I'm now healing you again.

• 45:46

We need some huge heels.

• 45:48

Oh, I'm using my tank cooldown.

• 45:50

I'm using the divine infusion.

• 45:52

Oh yes.

• 45:58

Still on.

• 46:01

I'm healing myself.

• 46:02

My mana is definitely going down.

• 46:05

We got this.

• 46:05

We're almost gonna kill some.

• 46:06

Come on.

• 46:08

Let me put down these chains.

• 46:11

Healing myself again.

• 46:16

Stay on the raincoat.

• 46:17

Or that left ring collar, I guess.

• 46:18

Okay, I'll stay on a rain collar.

• 46:21

I'm gonna stun this other rain collar.

• 46:24

We got it.

• 46:24

We got it now.

• 46:25

I am completely oom.

• 46:30

All right, we made it.

• 46:31

We did it.

• 46:32

We did it.

• 46:33

I'm running.

• 46:34

I'm running.

• 46:35

I'll do the killing blow on this guy.

• 46:36

I'm running.

• 46:38

Wait, what are you running for?

• 46:39

Okay.

• 46:39

I was at 60 health and they were still...

• 46:42

Okay, we got it.

• 46:43

We got it.

• 46:43

You're good.

• 46:43

You're good.

• 46:43

You're good.

• 46:44

You're good.

• 46:44

You're good.

• 46:47

Here, have this hot.

• 46:49

That was epic.

• 46:51

That was pretty epic.

• 46:52

Got some good pulls here.

• 46:53

That was pretty fun.

• 46:54

That was actually pretty fun.

• 46:55

I enjoyed that as a healer.

• 46:56

That was an oh shit moment and there were many oh shit buttons for me to press.

• 47:00

We were talking about this mana not being balanced,

• 47:02

but I think that was pretty good.

• 47:03

Like you ran out of mana just right at the end of that fight.

• 47:05

Like, it's pretty good.

• 47:06

Good first pass.

• 47:07

That's true.

• 47:07

They're not too bad.

• 47:08

Now we're gonna talk to Splinter.

• 47:11

Pro gamers.

• 47:12

Gosh, dude.

• 47:13

See, and everybody says I am a crazy player.

• 47:18

There's just not, you know...

• 47:19

Oh, okay.

• 47:20

Climb on top of this.

• 47:23

This guy's kind of cool.

• 47:24

What is he doing?

• 47:26

Hello, friend.

• 47:26

Splint.

• 47:27

Splint, talk to me.

• 47:29

Nobody mentioned locking horns with minotaurs.

• 47:33

Oh, okay.

• 47:34

We need to unlock a chest.

• 47:36

He's not budging.

• 47:38

Here, take the key.

• 47:39

All right.

• 47:39

I've gotten the key.

• 47:41

Okay, nice.

• 47:42

I think the chest is in the main building somewhere.

• 47:43

All right, so, yeah, let's go down here.

• 47:45

Do you want to...

• 47:47

Should we...

• 47:48

Should we even rest a little bit?

• 47:49

You're still pretty low on mana.

• 47:52

I would be down to rest.

• 47:54

Well, we should probably go this way.

• 47:56

All right, actually, yeah, I guess I think we'll probably run through here for a little bit.

• 47:58

Let's get inside the building.

• 47:59

Where are we going?

• 47:59

Inside the building here.

• 48:01

Follow me.

• 48:03

Oh, that's right.

• 48:03

We don't really even need to...

• 48:04

Let's see if we can just...

• 48:06

Since we cleared this whole area, I wonder if we can...

• 48:09

Yeah, I don't think there's anyone in here.

• 48:12

I think we gotta go down this little area.

• 48:15

Go down here.

• 48:15

It's getting dark in here.

• 48:16

In the crypt.

• 48:17

Secret basement.

• 48:18

All right.

• 48:20

Let me give us some light.

• 48:22

Hold on.

• 48:22

I gotta give us some light.

• 48:25

Very nice.

• 48:25

Oh, yeah, Trant's got some good...

• 48:29

Follow the light.

• 48:31

Follow the light.

• 48:33

Here it is.

• 48:33

Ooh.

• 48:37

So we're working together with Splint, the bandit leader.

• 48:42

Wait, hold on.

• 48:42

I wonder what happens if I put this shield on you while you have your shield on.

• 48:48

Double shield.

• 48:48

Ooh.

• 48:48

I got 15 seconds left.

• 48:50

Double shield.

• 48:51

Double shield.

• 48:53

That's what you got.

• 48:53

Hey, that was cool.

• 48:54

It let loose this massive explosion.

• 48:58

What did that do?

• 49:00

I think we're working together with Splint to

• 49:02

activate this ancient chest to...

• 49:04

To find the ninja turtles?

• 49:05

I think we're awakening some old spirits in this place to try to drive out the minotaurs.

• 49:10

I think that's the plan here.

• 49:12

This is beautiful.

• 49:13

There's a stairway over here.

• 49:14

Wait, yeah.

• 49:15

What's the next part of the quest?

• 49:15

We have to light the signal fire?

• 49:17

Light the brazier?

• 49:19

I'm running up into this area.

• 49:23

Wait, you lost you.

• 49:23

Uh-oh.

• 49:23

Where'd you go?

• 49:24

Where?

• 49:25

Steve?

• 49:26

Oh, there you are.

• 49:26

Look to your left.

• 49:27

There.

• 49:27

Where?

• 49:28

Over here.

• 49:29

Oh.

• 49:29

Hey.

• 49:30

How do I get over here?

• 49:31

Hey, how do I get over there?

• 49:32

Oh, actually, yeah, there you go.

• 49:33

Okay.

• 49:34

All right.

• 49:34

There we go.

• 49:35

I'm going to go upstairs even more over here.

• 49:37

Oh, nice.

• 49:38

This is beautiful.

• 49:39

Environment did a great job with this.

• 49:41

Zachary and Tristan and...

• 49:46

Yeah, it looks really great.

• 49:47

It's cool to explore.

• 49:48

Brandon did a great job.

• 49:51

Beautiful.

• 49:52

Oh, look at this.

• 49:53

Oh, there it is.

• 49:53

Nice.

• 49:55

Well, this was a cool little incursion into...

• 50:00

Oh, look at this.

• 50:01

Oh, the zombies.

• 50:03

We have lit the beacon and the zombies have overtaken the minotaurs.

• 50:07

They're still minotaur corpses.

• 50:09

God, dude, we missed the bloodshed.

• 50:11

I think we did all the work.

• 50:13

Yeah, true, to be honest.

• 50:14

These zombies shouldn't get any credit.

• 50:16

That's super cool.

• 50:17

Very cool.

• 50:18

Well, guys, I hope you all enjoyed this brief look at the update.

• 50:22

Well, not brief, but look at the update of the cleric archetype

• 50:26

and what you'll be expecting in Alpha 2.

• 50:28

Obviously, your feedback is incredibly important to us.

• 50:30

Please keep in mind, everything is a work in progress

• 50:33

and we use your feedback as part of our iteration process.

• 50:37

So if you can give us your thoughts and what you enjoyed,

• 50:40

what you thought could be done better in the YouTube video

• 50:45

or in Twitch or everywhere else, we will go through that

• 50:49

and we will take a look.

• 50:50

But we have enjoyed showing this.

• 50:52

Bucky and Trad, thank you guys for joining me.

• 50:54

Very cool, very fun.

• 50:56

And you guys did a great job.

• 50:58

Yeah, thanks for having us, GG.

• 50:59

All right, we'll see you guys back on stream.

• 51:02

I'm going in!

• 51:03

No!

• 51:04

Wait, let me jump to you.

• 51:05

Let me jump to you.

• 51:07

Come here.

• 51:07

Come here.

• 51:08

Wait, here it is.

• 51:09

Boom!

• 51:10

Oh, yeah.

• 51:11

Oh, that was great!

• 51:13

Bye, guys!

• 51:14

Out of control.
