00:04Sì, sono Paul Sage.
00:14Sì, sono Nic Conkle.
00:15Sì, sono Dan Crenshaw.
00:17E siamo qui a parlare di gruppo gameplay di Tamriel.
00:20Sì, abbiamo visto un'overlande boss monster.
00:24Una cosa che abbiamo visto è il fatto che le persone, a prima,
00:27a prima, like to get their leg, so to speak, under them by playing alone.
00:31And so what we wanted to do is provide friction elements
00:35to really get people involved in playing with other people
00:38because we don't want to force you to play with others.
00:40We want to give you encouragement.
00:41So we opened up here with Sorcerer's Crystal Shard.
00:45Kind of stunned the guy right off.
00:48I'm the healer there, just wanted a lightning form.
00:50I'll do it again.
00:52So that's going to reduce my damage.
00:53So I usually pop that when the boss has turned to target me.
00:58You see me blocking there as he unleashed his AoE.
01:02I popped the healing ward, or steadfast ward,
01:05on my buddy Eric there since he was getting focused by the boss.
01:10And now I'm just spamming Mage's Fury.
01:11Yeah, when he gets to low health, it's time for Mage's Fury.
01:14So we have...
01:14Pretty furious.
01:15You know, the execute abilities in our game
01:18are really useful and very popular.
01:21So when you get a boss down to a certain health threshold,
01:25everyone kind of just goes into execute mode
01:27and try and finish them off as fast as you can.
01:30This is trying to find a group member.
01:33And the fact that, you know, we don't want you to...
01:36We want to make sure that the world is big,
01:38and therefore we put lots of exploration points.
01:39But we don't want to artificially keep you from people
01:42by making it to where, you know, it takes an hour to get to somebody.
01:44So we have fast travel mechanisms
01:46where you can use either these wayshrines,
01:48which is what you're seeing here.
01:49Or, you know, if you're actually in the group,
01:52you can teleport to that nearest group member,
01:55which may put you at a wayshrine
01:56just because we have to put a safe place.
01:58But the idea is to get you with your group members
02:01as fast as possible.
02:02Yeah, and being able to just pop open your map,
02:05click on that wayshrine,
02:06and instantly teleport there anywhere
02:08that you've already discovered,
02:09it's really nice.
02:11And this is a Dark Anchor encounter.
02:13Yeah, anytime you see something like this out in the world
02:15and you know, hey, there's six guys there
02:17and they're performing some sort of super ritual
02:18and I'm pretty sure something terrible
02:19is going to happen after that,
02:21you want to be able to quickly get a friend to come with you
02:23because you're not going to be able to take that out
02:24by yourself probably.
02:26That guy's going to be fine.
02:27Trust me, guys.
02:28I don't think he's going to be fine at all.
02:30It's going to be great.
02:31He's floating in midair.
02:33Oh, yeah.
02:37Yeah, so he got sacrificed
02:40and in his place, bad things.
02:45I think one of the funniest things about Dark Anchor...
02:47He's going to be fine, too.
02:48Oh, he's not going to be fine at all.
02:50No, that feels good.
02:51Poor guy floating up into the sky.
02:53Countdown to one shot.
02:54Three, two, one.
02:56One shot.
02:57There's nothing wrong with sneaking up with a bow.
03:00Yes, that guy was dead.
03:01One shot.
03:02Look at the AoEs.
03:04The idea is that Molag Ball,
03:06who's this Daedric Prince,
03:10is trying to pull the world,
03:11which is called Nurn,
03:12into his realm of Cold Harbor
03:15and basically make it a bad time for everybody.
03:17So this is one of those anchor points,
03:19and that's why you see all of his minions spawning in.
03:22These Daedra are trying to prepare the way
03:24for him to bring Nurn into Cold Harbor.
03:28This Dark Anchor's not giving up easily.
03:34You know, I think we're pretty well positioned here
03:36to make sure that we can...
03:38You know, but you can see monsters.
03:39Every person's engaged in an individual little fight,
03:42and Dan's sort of in the back healing,
03:45but also dealing with guys that are rushing at him.
03:47So there's just enough action
03:49that if you are coordinated and working together like this,
03:52then everyone will just scatter and die on their own.
03:57You know, Dark Anchor's really started to take off
03:59when we introduced the mechanics of the switches there,
04:02the pinions that you have to release,
04:04and you have to decide,
04:06okay, which one of us is going to go
04:07stop fighting the monsters
04:08to go run over and hit the pinions.
04:10It just added, you know,
04:11a few more interesting decision points
04:13in the gameplay there.
04:15Yeah, I really like the feel of it versus how...
04:17Like, it used to feel more like an arena,
04:19you know, a game style,
04:20and this is more like Moloch Balls
04:21trying to defend himself,
04:22throwing everything he's got at you,
04:23and you sort of have to just deal
04:25with all the problems,
04:26and they're just coming constantly.
04:28Probably want to protect the healer there.
04:29Yeah, there you go.
04:31Is that the crystal mortar there?
04:32I love that one.
04:34Yeah, I really like just how
04:35it's just a continuous wave
04:37of all kinds of terrible things
04:39from all kinds of terrible Daedric enemies,
04:43and, you know,
04:44because of that unpredictability,
04:45you want to make sure you bring
04:46a really flexible party
04:49and build to the situation.
04:51You know, when we switch back and forth
04:53between first person and third person,
04:56you know, I know a lot of the guys around here
04:58like to play in third person
05:01just because of the situational awareness,
05:03but almost every time I'll play in first person
05:06just because I really like
05:07the level of detail it provides,
05:09and some of the cues are easier to read, actually.
05:11I like the bow first person in particular, too.
05:13There's something about the aiming
05:14that feels very good to me
05:16when I play that way
05:17versus in melee,
05:19a lot more often I like to play in third person.
05:20I think something worth pointing out, too,
05:22about what you're seeing on screen right here
05:24is that it's the Dragon Knight Firestaff build,
05:26but he's wearing heavy armor.
05:28So it's kind of an unusual combination, right?
05:30There isn't really an archetype
05:31that that fits with, per se.
05:33It's a little mage.
05:34It's a little battle mage.
05:37So, and it's just something
05:38that people found on their own.
05:39It wasn't necessarily something
05:41we built the game around.
05:44It was a build that emerged naturally
05:45when people sort of found the synergy
05:47between the Firestaff
05:49and some of the Dragon Knight abilities.
05:51So it's pretty popular,
05:53and it's also quite survival.
05:54You can see him both tanking
05:55and dishing out some pretty solid AOE damage.
05:58I really think my Clan Fear
05:59is beating us all.
06:00Yeah, Clan Fear.
06:01That thing's doing work.
06:02Get it on, Clan Fear.
06:04Yeah.
06:05He's taking on that Stormrage knock.
06:07Oh, that was the Templar Spear.
06:09Yeah, yeah.
06:09Spearing him for days there.
06:11Great ability.
06:11I think if you're playing the Bow Templar,
06:14it's certainly that Spear ability
06:16that knocks him down.
06:17Yeah, it's pretty cornerstone.
06:18Yeah.
06:19is very helpful.
06:20And then if you take the Bow ability,
06:22which is Scattershot,
06:23you've got another knockdown,
06:25so you can take on three opponents
06:27pretty easily.
06:28Yeah, so I chose the Sorcerer Healer
06:32because I love the Heal Staff abilities
06:34first off,
06:35and the Sorcerer gets a ton of mana regen.
06:38Dark Exchange.
06:39Yeah, and the Dark Exchange ability,
06:41which basically lets me sacrifice stamina,
06:44which as a healer I'm not using a whole lot,
06:46to regen both health and mana.
06:48so just awesome all around.
06:50Well, speaking of sacrifices,
06:51we have this going on.
06:54You know, for practice being illegal,
06:58Daedric Warship sure does play a lot.
07:00Yeah, it's awfully prevalent.
07:02This is a Harvester.
07:03You can see that there's a little orb
07:04on the side of your screen there.
07:05They just got exploded
07:07that will gradually restore health
07:09if you don't stop it from getting to the Harvester.
07:11that's sort of how you take her down,
07:13and there's four of them that spawn,
07:15and you have to take them out
07:16before they get to her.
07:17Nice dodger.
07:18Yeah, that was a pretty sweet dodger roll.
07:20I think a Harvester is actually
07:23one of our unique Daedra
07:24for Elders Goes Online, correct?
07:26Yeah, I think so.
07:31So that's at the end of all the waves,
07:33or all the sort of continuous waves,
07:35there's one giant boss,
07:36and then you get the opportunity
07:37to knock out the thing for good,
07:40which is what's happening here,
07:41and you can see, like,
07:42it was a really bad place.
07:44The world was warped around this,
07:46and after you take it out,
07:47it sort of returns to normal.
07:49You know, the skies go back to clear.
07:50Yeah, these sparkles.
07:51Yeah, take that.
07:52Molog ball.
07:53Stay out of our Tamriel.
07:54Stay out of our Tamriel.
