00:00Hello everyone, I'm the lead designer of Destiny Rising.
00:04It's been a while since the last time we did a developer preview.
00:08We've been listening carefully to your feedback over the past few months
00:12and have made significant improvements to the game.
00:15Today, I want to share these updates and reveal some exciting rewards for all of you.
00:21Your input has truly shaped what Destiny Rising has become.
00:26First and foremost, compact and character progression.
00:32Based on your feedback from the closed beta,
00:35we've completely transformed two major systems, weapons and artifacts.
00:40For weapons, we've rebuilt the mod system from the ground up.
00:44You'll now experience random attributes and new progression paths
00:48that make each gun feel unique and customizable.
00:51As for artifacts, we've scrapped the old artifact set's bonus system.
00:55Each artifact now comes with its own distinct attributes,
01:00letting you mix and match to create your perfect combat style.
01:04Something many of you asked for, we've added the slide ability.
01:07This brings more fluid movement and tactical options to every fight.
01:11More flexible combat needs exciting battlefields, and we know you're hungry for greater challenges.
01:23Rays have always been the heart of Destiny, and we've poured everything into making them special.
01:28At launch, we're introducing the Week 1 event for the Gauntlet mode.
01:33Completed during this window, and you will earn a limited edition emblem.
01:37The best part? The more players who finish the raid, the bigger the rewards for everyone.
01:42We're also keeping the Day 1 challenge tradition alive.
01:47At the second week of the Season 1 launch, we'll release the true challenge version of the Gauntlet mode with its own Week 1 race.
01:55This hardcore version includes secret mechanics and tougher constraints, all with fair balancing.
02:01Participants earn exclusive top-tier rewards and a dynamic emblem that showcases your achievement.
02:08Beyond the Gauntlet mode updates, we're adding Master and Grandmaster difficulties as a new challenge mode.
02:14These challenges aren't for the faint of heart.
02:17They feature stricter mechanics and demand perfect execution.
02:20But remember, greater challenge means greater rewards.
02:24In addition to intense combat, we know the epic storytelling of Destiny is what keeps many of you coming back.
02:34We're fully committed to delivering that immersive sci-fi experience you love.
02:39After launch, you'll discover exclusive quests centered around key characters.
02:44These missions let you explore the personal journeys of different lightbearers, revealing their unique perspectives and beliefs about our universe.
02:54Beyond gameplay and storytelling, we've made major improvements to rewards and systems based directly on your feedback.
03:04The achievement system now offers substantial Lumia leaves rewards.
03:09We've also added daily sign-in bonuses and a special 14-day newcomer event that provides plenty of free draw items.
03:17During launch, players will receive over 200 free draws.
03:23Including at least 12,500 Lumia leaves.
03:27We want everyone to fully enjoy the game without feeling restricted.
03:32We noticed your concerns about the Pinnacle Energy system during the closed beta.
03:39We get it!
03:40Sometimes you just want to grind more or play with friends without limitations.
03:44So we've optimized the system.
03:47With Pinnacle Energy available, you'll earn substantial rewards.
03:53When depleted, you'll still receive significant, consistent base rewards that no longer diminish over time.
04:02We've also tweaked the talent costs for legendary characters.
04:06The first two talent no longer requires duplicate character draws to unlock, making it easier to unlock.
04:12And importantly, talent levels no longer affect character power.
04:16There are many more system improvements we can't cover today, but know that we're constantly reviewing your feedback and refining the game.
04:24When you jump into the official launch, you'll discover countless enhancements that make Destiny Rising better than ever.
04:30As we approach launch, I'm proud to announce that our global pre-registration has reached an incredible 10 million players.
04:41We're deeply grateful for your support.
04:43Remember, those pre-registration rewards including an exclusive exotic ornament and 10 free draws will be waiting for you at launch.
04:53The official release will support English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Spanish and Japanese, with more languages coming in future updates.
05:03We're setting up servers in four major regions, Asia, EMEA, North America and Latin America.
05:11All servers will feature cross-platform play between iOS and Android, so you can switch devices seamlessly and connect with friends regardless of platform.
05:22Looking ahead, Destiny Rising will receive seasonal updates every two months, with updates to characters and game content every month.
05:31We'll also conduct weekly maintenance and smaller content updates to keep the experience fresh and running smoothly.
05:40I'm excited to share that in our first season.
05:43We'll be releasing a mysterious character ornament set that hasn't been shown in any testing phase.
05:49It's something special we've been saving just for launch.
05:52For our complete roadmap and more details, follow our official accounts.
05:57That's where you will find all the latest information about Destiny Rising.
06:01Finally, we want to thank each of you for your suggestions and continued support.
06:06We can't wait to welcome all Lightbearers.
06:08Thank you. We'll see you in Haven on 28th of August.
06:12I'll see you in the next one.
