00:00Howdy guys, Chris Spears here.
00:04I'm going to be showing off some of the new features in Release 8.
00:07We realized we just had a ton of new stuff that went in,
00:10and people don't read instructions very well.
00:13Not that you wouldn't have, but a lot of people don't read them,
00:16so I thought I'd give you guys a quick video tutorial on how things should work.
00:20Picture's worth a thousand words.
00:22We'll see how many words I can get in here.
00:27So, first thing you should know about Release 8 is one thing that's been added is jumping damage.
00:30We felt we had to have that in just for some of the PvP situations.
00:33It's too easy to jump away to get from people, jump off cliffs and whatnot.
00:37A few other reasons to add that in.
00:41Obviously, the big thing for this release is PvP is enabled, and a lot of combat work has been done.
00:46I can guarantee you that PvP is rough, and combat is probably rougher than it was in past releases,
00:55but you'll have a lot more options.
00:57The deck version of the game is actually enabled now,
01:03so you can actually build out a deck and try out the deck.
01:06We also left in what I refer to as Dallas mode,
01:09which is you can force it to play like a normal MMO,
01:12where it's just got a fixed top bar at the bottom.
01:14You'll just have longer cooldown times and some focus penalties.
01:17We'll be tuning that over time.
01:18Right now, we have it extremely painful because we're trying to push people to give the deck system a try.
01:26But let's get into it here.
01:28Here's my character, Maxwell.
01:31I have some stranger who joined me in a party who will now be immortalized in this video.
01:37Matthew Garbett.
01:38He seemed like a helpful guy.
01:40Anyways, here we go.
01:41So, K, press the K key to bring up skills.
01:45You can now see there's a lot.
01:48Still got a long ways to go.
01:50Haven't turned on any of the chaos stuff.
01:52A little bit of death.
01:54More fire.
01:55We got a lot of focus stuff in there.
01:56Some life.
01:58Lots of empty skills.
01:59We got some that are filled out there.
02:01Hopefully, we will get the majority of these finished out for R9.
02:07Really, the time-consuming parts are making them visually appealing and then the balancing side of things.
02:14But definitely made a lot of progress this release and a ton of new systems online.
02:19So, once you have this open, you can see that you have 80 skill points.
02:25Let me make sure.
02:30Hopefully, now you can see the mouse cursor.
02:32You can see that I have 80 skill points.
02:37And zero spent.
02:39So, to spend, you can mouse over cards to see the description on them.
02:43See what they're supposed to do.
02:47And we did enable, at the last moment, we enabled the tree system.
02:51So, you have to actually buy the skill before it.
02:53At least one level in it is all it's set to right now.
02:56That will be definable later in Vary.
02:59But, if it's a branching tree, you'll have to buy, you know, both sides.
03:03So, to get down here to Whirling Blades, which is worth it, by the way.
03:07You've got to have at least one skill point in Thrust.
03:10And then Parry, Double Slash, Rend, and Riposte.
03:14Before you can put one in Whirling Blades.
03:16So, I'm going to go ahead and do that.
03:22Just get some of the things in there that I need.
03:24Whoops.
03:24Here we go.
03:29Let's see.
03:33Increase a few of these guys.
03:36Alright, so we've got some of that stuff.
03:38I'm wearing heavy armor.
03:39The way the skill trees work is you will only be able to use skills that are part of the
03:43armor set.
03:45If you're wearing that type of armor, I believe it's your breastplate at least, has to be that type of
03:51armor.
03:51So, for heavy plate, you're going to have to, or for heavy armor, you're going to have to have some
03:57type of heavy breastplate, like a plate mail.
04:01Medium is generally like chain and light.
04:04I think leather falls into light and cloth falls into light.
04:09But, uh, different stuff and different groups kind of aimed at the target.
04:13You know, obviously plate mail is going to have a lot of, like, tanking type stuff and reduce damage.
04:20Let's see.
04:21You'll also notice that some trees, these guys down here, seem kind of orphaned.
04:26And that you can't get to them.
04:27Well, you can actually get to them.
04:28You have to buy a point in the skill that has not been implemented.
04:31We left the icons turned off if we did not turn them on for this release.
04:37So, just buying up a few of those guys.
04:39That guy's a really good skill.
04:41I highly recommend it.
04:43And let's see.
04:44What else do we want down here?
04:45You can get some fire stuff.
04:46Fireball's always popular.
04:48We tried to balance it a little bit for this release.
04:50I still think it's a little overpowered.
04:52Of course, over here in heal, I'm going to go play a tanking type.
04:58Let's see.
04:59What other stuff?
04:59Fireball's got some effective stuff in it.
05:03And how about we'll do...
05:07Lightning is a pretty good spell.
05:09It's a range that can be cast while you're moving around.
05:12And it also can stun them.
05:14So, I'm a fan of that.
05:16Another popular one for catching up with pesky archer types is Brute.
05:23Let's see.
05:24You guys will have to experiment to find your best tree.
05:26and also probably by this time next week, what was the best tree will be totally meaningless
05:32because we will have added a ton of new skills.
05:36Let's see.
05:36I'm going to do a little bit more of that.
05:40I'm going to take one out of that and put it in there.
05:42Alright.
05:42So now we've got some skills picked out there.
05:44So now to get to your deck building system over here, you hit Y and do a new deck.
05:53Oh, I totally left off one of the most important things, which I was wondering why I had so many
05:58skill points to spend.
06:00I'm going to come down here.
06:02I'm going to take some out of blades.
06:04Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, take me some points.
06:10Because the focus branch is actually, this affects how the cards play.
06:15So if you're going to play in Dallas mode and fixed bar mode, you really, you can get some of
06:20these things, but they're less relevant.
06:25And so these are all things, let's see, so this one increases the max hand size, which will increase this
06:30number over here.
06:31So you can turn that up.
06:37And this one, it's max hand size.
06:39That's how many glyphs you can have at the bottom.
06:43We're trying to get an habit of calling them glyphs, by the way.
06:46So join me in calling them glyphs, not cards, because they are glyphs and not cards.
06:52Let's see, so locking cards, that's one of the things we mentioned, is you can actually lock a card so
06:56it will stay fixed, and you can mix that with the randomly dealing deck.
06:59So, for instance, you always want to have your emergency heal available, you can lock one card and just keep
07:04it at heal.
07:05The way it works is when it starts off, it's both noble and that can't do combos, although we aren't
07:10introducing combos for this release.
07:12To keep things a little bit simple.
07:14But it also has the longer cooldown, longer focus time.
07:17And it will start as if it was just used when you enter into combat.
07:21So it actually is a strategy to set up your enter combat long before you're going to go in, so
07:27you can wear off some of those cooldown times.
07:31Get one of those guys.
07:33This is also one of my favorite ones for people who don't mind the extra challenge and skill of trying
07:39to keep track of extra cards.
07:41You can pump that up a little bit.
07:45Again, you can go look through these things.
07:47There's things in there like the quick swapping and some other stuff.
07:50Some of these will be difficult to get to just because we have limited how many skill points we're giving
07:54out for this release.
07:55Just to keep people fairly shallow.
08:00Let's see.
08:02Hold on.
08:03What else do I want here?
08:06Alright, let's go with that for right now.
08:08I'm going to get actually one more lightning bolt and one more blade.
08:18Alright, back to the deck building over here.
08:21Let's see.
08:22Actually, hold on.
08:22Let me check something here.
08:23I think we may have a...
08:26You can see I've got my deck there that I started but I didn't actually do anything with.
08:32Alright, so hand size turned up.
08:43Discard speed I'm going to go with.
08:45That's one of the ones I slowed down over there.
08:48So linked equipment.
08:49When you click use linked equipment, it will pull in all of the equipment that you are currently wearing.
08:55And that will be tied to this deck.
08:57So when you switch decks, it can actually switch out your equipment.
09:00It's kind of important because a lot of the skills, like if you're using blade skills, you have blade skills
09:04in your deck.
09:05It's not going to be effective if you don't have a blade equipped or the correct type of armor or
09:10whatever other elements.
09:12So as to how to create the deck, you can just drag stuff over here.
09:21Looks like I only got one of each of those guys.
09:24And again, I'm moving over most everything I have right now.
09:28Later on, you will not have, you will probably not be pulling over everything for every deck.
09:37Right now, we have a few enough things.
09:40Most people probably will use a good portion of the items that they have in there.
09:44Oh, you can see down here, it shows 12 of 20 cards with 8 slugs.
09:48So the slugs are, if you don't have enough cards in your hand to fill out the minimum number, you
09:53will have slugs added.
09:54They will appear as gray cards at the bottom.
09:56The other thing that can add slugs is equipment can add slugs or curses can add slugs.
10:04Just anything.
10:05Slugs slow down how your game plays, how often you're going to be getting the cards you want.
10:10Because it basically adds dead cards that might be dealt out to you that you have to wait through.
10:14And actually, you don't have to wait through them.
10:16I can show you what I mean by that in a minute once I actually get into combat.
10:23I'm going to be, like I said, I'm going to be a heavy tanking type, so I'm not going to
10:27be doing much in the way of nuking, but I do need lots of heals.
10:36Let's see, did I get everything I want?
10:40I'm not even going to go with the defensive stance.
10:42I think I've got, I'm at 18 of 20 cards.
10:44I'll add one more just to cut down on how many slugs I have.
10:49All right.
10:50And now we can done.
10:52And we can equip.
10:53You can see this is going to give me one slug.
10:56So that's now equipped.
10:59So, how to actually get into mode.
11:03You can see down at the bottom I have a non-combat bar out.
11:07There's my wife calling.
11:08Let me turn that off.
11:10I have a non-combat bar down at the bottom.
11:12When you hit Z, unless you've redefined the key, that will pull out your weapon and start your bar down
11:19here.
11:22And the cards will be dealt out based on what your skill level is.
11:27And they will stay up.
11:28So you can see the first one that came out for me is a slug.
11:32And if you mouse over, it'll show you where that slug is coming from.
11:34It looks like a piece of armor or a shield.
11:36So that one's actually coming from my epic plate leggings, which are awesome, by the way.
11:42Let's see.
11:43I wonder if I can survive this fall.
11:44What do you think?
11:45Maybe?
11:49All right.
11:49I'll give it a try.
11:51Oh.
11:52Went on a ledge so I can survive.
11:54Oh.
11:54Yeah.
12:01All right.
12:02And I think right now we have an issue that if you take damage from fall, it also puts you
12:06into combat mode.
12:07It probably shouldn't.
12:08This is a good steepness of hill.
12:10I can run down without dying or slide down without dying.
12:14And now I'm going to wander off and see if I can find some action.
12:22Another change that you'll see is if you watch my focus bar, the little blue bar, jumping will now take
12:29focus.
12:32Not much.
12:33You will definitely notice it when in combat, though.
12:36And we'll want to avoid doing it too often.
12:46And wandering around here.
12:47I may be cutting some of this out.
12:49Because I got lost and I think I was going to the wrong beach.
12:52I know there's combat going down on the beach.
12:54Going on down the beach down here somewhere.
12:58Wandering.
12:59Oh.
13:00Get out of the way, plant.
13:07Wandering, wandering.
13:15All right.
13:16I think I'm on the wrong side of the island here.
13:19So.
13:20It's pretty.
13:22I need some people to kill.
13:23So I think I'm going to try zoning too.
13:30I'll zone to the one.
13:35Jack.
13:36Let's see if he's slurred.
13:38Oh.
13:41Oh, misspelled.
14:00All right.
14:01Looks like he came to a dungeon.
14:12Let me try this again.
14:14Okay.
14:33All right.
14:34Now we're talking.
14:42For those who had forgotten, N is for nameplates.
14:47Looks like I got someone to fight out here now.
14:50He doesn't know that he's about to be in the video.
14:54Hey, friend.
14:57How's it going, buddy?
15:02All right.
15:02And you can see down at the bottom of the...
15:04Oh.
15:05This is another important thing is now you can hear me pounding the space bar.
15:09You can get an extra resist chance on the root by pressing space.
15:16It uses some mana.
15:18Oh.
15:19I'm in god mode.
15:20This guy doesn't have a chance.
15:22Let me disable that.
15:28I probably should have turned that off before now.
15:30Anyways.
15:32You can see he casts a heal on me, or a light spell on me.
15:41So, since this guy was nice enough to stop fighting me, I can change.
15:45You can only edit your deck, change things up in your deck, when you're not in combat mode.
15:55It looks like my draw speed, I only have the option of very slow.
15:58I guess I did not pick those skills.
16:00Let me come back over here and see.
16:02Let me come back over here and see.
16:03Let me see.
16:07Let me see.
16:07Which one is it?
16:08Ah.
16:09There's the one I want.
16:12Not that one.
16:13I want that one.
16:16In fact, I think I'm going to go over here and cut a few of these guys.
16:26Alright, now we're talking.
16:28Oops, except now that's going to make my deck has fewer lightning in it.
16:33You can see it automatically adjusted.
16:35Took out the extra card.
16:37That's good.
16:41So, it's a little light spell above my head.
16:43It's just kind of fun normally, but if you're in a dark dungeon, this is actually a great
16:48way to mark someone.
16:51Alright.
16:54You can see I use...
16:57Whoops.
16:58Just realized I upped my skill, but then these guys attack me before I get to go modify my
17:01deck.
17:03And that is our stun effect.
17:06Maybe placeholder.
17:07I think it's kind of grown on some people.
17:19Also a pro tip for you.
17:22You can work on your deck while you're dead.
17:25So if you get in combat and you get killed, don't stress.
17:31Now's a great time to update your deck.
17:36I'm going to modify.
17:37There we go.
17:38Draw speed.
17:39Fastest.
17:47Fastest.
17:58You'll also notice on this one, we have...
18:02We don't have any looting rights on.
18:06And we also don't have any death penalties, and we also do not have armor durability.
18:11Someone's already pointed out we're punishing the archers because we do have arrows, but we
18:17don't have reagents.
18:21Whoops.
18:27So now if you watch the bar at the bottom, you can see how much quicker things are coming
18:30out.
18:31So you can see the heal.
18:34If you alt and press the key, like alt 3 right now, you can see when I press alt, it
18:40makes the heals active.
18:41You can also see how the cards slide in and then they fade out.
18:46Not fade out, but they slide off to the bottom.
18:49If a skill is grayed out, that means you can't use it currently.
18:57Alright, this guy wants to fight.
18:59I'll go ahead and give him a fight.
19:09Lightning has a good chance to stun people.
19:10I didn't give him that time, but...
19:19Another pro tip is if you put away your weapon and you're out of combat for, I think it is
19:24currently set at 5 seconds, and you go into a fast healing mode.
19:27Maybe it's 10 seconds.
19:29You can see that you'll quickly recover, fairly quickly recover health.
19:33We have it set pretty high for now.
19:35That's one of those things that will be probably driven by food and other elements later on.
19:41But right now, it's pretty much, you'll heal full in about 30 seconds.
20:02And you can see if it's fastest mode, you really have to be paying attention if you want to see
20:06what's going on down at the bottom.
20:29Not supposed to kill me, I'm doing a demo.
20:32That probably covers the basics.
20:35Let me look over this and see if I missed anything here.
20:39Yeah, you can save out multiple decks.
20:41If you click the use only locked cards, then it will put you into an all locked cards mode.
20:47You just drag your locked cards into the keys.
20:50You can also, if you want to put like a healing touch into that, you can only have a single
20:55copy in locked mode.
20:59In a locked card slot, so you can't have three copies of heals in locked card slots.
21:03You can, but they all share the same recycle time.
21:08You'll also now see that when I come to, you can see how it starts off as soon as I
21:15go into combat mode.
21:16They get dealt out, but the healing spell starts off in cooldown mode.
21:27So, if you're asking why would I want to use the hotbar key, or the randomized hotbar,
21:34one of the reasons is you can get a lot, you don't have to worry about cooldowns.
21:38If you have three copies of cards in your deck, you can actually get the three cards out pretty quick.
21:42Also, because you can change up the speed of dealing, you can do things like you want to cycle through
21:47your cards faster.
21:48So, you can actually actively remove the cards to get new cards.
21:53So, if you're sitting there and you're not seeing the card you want,
21:55and you're playing on a fast cycle deck or with a lot of cards out there,
21:59you can either cast the spells to get new replacements in quicker.
22:03If you have lost slugs like I do in this deck, somewhere in full plate mail and don't have the
22:07skills for it,
22:12you can click through them.
22:13But anyways, you can move through your cards pretty quick with this system.
22:17You can also, like I mentioned, you don't have to worry about cooldown timers.
22:23The locked keys, though, are convenient for, you know,
22:26keeping around the emergency heal or root spell or whatever thing you want to keep on it.
22:31All right, I'm going to finish this guy off to end the recording.
22:35Do, do, do, do.
22:37Just quietly sit here.
22:38Don't mind me.
22:39Nothing going on here.
22:42Nothing to see.
22:43And, yeah, you're going down, buddy.
22:51Anyways, hopefully that'll help you guys a little bit.
22:55I suggest trying out the arenas.
22:59They are, we used some of the player basements and made some minor arena maps.
23:02We also turned on this map, the island map, for this release.
23:08But the arenas are pretty good play spaces.
23:10They have some main areas and then some hallways around them.
23:13The city arena, I think it's in northwest Owl's Head.
23:17There's a satyr that looks like named Bob up there.
23:22So you can go talk to him and he'll point you how to get down there.
23:25Definitely get set up and know what you're doing before you go in.
23:27But, again, don't worry if you die.
23:29That's no penalties for this release.
23:32Death might be on the next release.
23:34We haven't fully decided yet.
23:35So good luck, everybody.
23:38And feel free to post questions in the forums.
23:40And, again, more polish to come.
23:43But I hope you guys enjoy.
23:45Thanks.
23:46Bye.
23:47Bye.
