00:05I'm Henry Sturchi from Silicon Knights
00:07here with Dennis Dyack, director of 2Human
00:08and Rob Porsky, game designer on 2Human
00:11and we're covering the alignment trees
00:15One of the things that a lot of people may not know about 2Human
00:17is once you reach a pivotal point in the game
00:20in Azure you're asked to choose a more cybernetic aligned path
00:24or a more human path
00:26and these different paths
00:29really significantly change and enhance your class
00:32and it modifies them in ways that are completely different
00:35and really is something that I think gamers will really really appreciate
00:39and we're here, we're going to talk about the cybernetic path
00:43Okay, so the cybernetic path is more damage dealing, armor based path
00:50One of the cool things about the cybernetic path is that it allows you the ability to equip the cannon
00:54weapon
00:56and opens up a whole new set of skill trees
00:59so you can choose after you make this choice to either put points into your class skill tree
01:06or you could use them for skills that are in your alignment tree
01:08and the cannon does a whole lot of damage
01:11it's very heavy, slows you down, but it's wicked for range and damage
01:14and one thing that's also unique about the cybernetic path is
01:17each of the two alignments get different item sets and things like that as well
01:21so you'll have different stats that are focused on the different loot drops for each of the two alignments
01:26and one thing really unique about the cyber alignment is
01:28the runer skills that you actually use to basically their smart bombs that destroy runes
01:33those are actually earned on board your items in the cybernetic alignment
01:37the human alignment you actually earn them through the tree
01:39but on the cyber side you actually have to collect for them and hunt and gather
01:42So essentially with the cybernetic path you get more of a variety
01:45but you have to switch weapons out to use that variety
01:48with the human path you get I guess more powerful ones that you have to grow through your skill trees
01:53So the first skill we have here is increases the damage based on the current encounter in the game
01:57So people who are really good at combos they can get the hit counter up pretty high
02:01and get damage percentage increases on all your attacks
02:06And to explain the hit counter, the hit counter is
02:09if you kill so many enemies within a certain period of time and keep that going
02:13that number continues to grow higher, the higher that gets the higher percentage damage you get, correct?
02:17Yep
02:18The next skill below it is slide damage
02:21So adding points in here just increases the damage of all attacks on your slides
02:28Then there's two paths
02:29There's more of the ranged weapon path and the specialization path
02:34So the left path increases your ammo load
02:40So you just reload less often
02:42and this is really, really helpful if you're using a cannon
02:44because the cannon takes a little longer to reload than the pistols or the rifle
02:49And with that, if you really power that up, you can get insane amounts of just damage
02:55without having to reload and people really start to appreciate those cannons in the background
02:59as you're devastating all the enemies and your partners up front
03:03Yeah, but your mobility is hampered with the cannon
03:05So you're not as free-flowing and everything
03:07You've kind of got to get the big machine gun turret going on people
03:10Yeah, it's kind of the Arnold Schwarzenegger chain gun kind of thing
03:13Yeah
03:13So the next skill we have here increases the range of all ballistic weapons
03:19And then the last one in this path increases the chance of shots penetrating
03:26So you can shoot through enemies, this is really helpful with the laser
03:30You can hit a troll and if there's another troll behind it, you can just do double damage on them
03:36Penetration is rocking, what's the last note?
03:38The last one here increases all defensive bonuses for armor pieces
03:43So if you really want a tank, you just
03:48And if you did something like you took a cybernetic berserker
03:51You would actually be able to start to augment some of your armor through your cybernetic path
03:55Or if you took a cybernetic defender, you'd actually be kind of a super tank
03:59Because now you've got two paths that are very armor focused
04:02Yeah, and the right-hand side, oh, the right-hand side rope's going to reset
04:05So as you can see, these combinations really allow you to mix and match even further
04:11Within the unique classes and the class trees
04:15All right, so the first skill on the right path increases the radius of all runers
04:19So, you know, the runers on the cybernetic weapons are much, much bigger than the ones that you get on
04:28the default
04:28Your generic runer that you start with
04:32So this will help you increase the damage of the radius of all these
04:35So you, I mean, these things are massive, but you can just start hitting enemies across the room
04:39And they're all elemental-based, so fire, ice, electricity
04:43Yeah, all cybernetic runers have the elements put on them
04:45For like status effect stuff
04:46Yeah, there's some cool stuff you can get
04:51So, and the skill below the runer radius bonus increases the rate at which the bonus status effects occur
04:59So you're going to proc more often, you're going to have a higher percentage
05:02So this will help supplement your skill tree, your class-based skill tree
05:07So if you have fire procs, you'll get them more often
05:11But in addition to that too, the charm
05:12So all of the status effects you can gain through the charm quests
05:15This will also help their proc rate
05:17And you can really, really start to really power up some of those charm quests
05:25And then the last skill is for the spider
05:28It gives him longer duration out
05:30So when you deploy him, you'll be able to deploy more mines
05:34Your turrets and your shields will last longer
05:38And it just, it augments your spider and just really powers him up
05:41And if you play with a spider a lot, you'll learn very quickly that the spider rules
05:45And the fact that he can stay out longer and do more stuff for you is pretty awesome
05:49Actually, it's a very, very powerful skill
