00:26Hello everyone and welcome to another Anthem live stream.
00:29My name is Ben Irving. I'm one of the lead producers on the project and today I will be your
00:35host for the stream.
00:37Joining me we have two of our amazing developers. We have Francis and Leah. We'll have them do intros in
00:43a second.
00:44The topic of our stream today is going to be javelin personalization.
00:49So what that means is all the really cool ways you can personalize the appearance of your javelins and make
00:55yourself look really amazing.
00:56So we won't be covering things like loadouts and gear and weapons.
01:03We're just going to be focusing on the appearance of the javelin.
01:06So Francis and Leah, do you guys want to introduce yourselves please?
01:10Yeah, so I'm Francis Lacuna. I'm the character director on Anthem.
01:14And hey everyone, I'm Leah Schenkiewski. I'm a producer here on the Anthem team.
01:19Awesome. Welcome. So for the streams going forward, kind of what Mike and I thought we would do is we'd
01:24probably rotate hosting the show
01:26and then we'd bring on some of our awesome developers who know a lot more about the inner workings of
01:31the game than we did
01:32and are responsible for building it.
01:34So before we dive into this system, Francis, I just wanted to ask you, you know, many moons ago
01:41when we were thinking about, hey, how do we want players to be able to customize their appearances?
01:47What was some of the philosophy that went into, like what were you guys trying to achieve?
01:51Yeah, so the nice thing was starting with the new IP.
01:53One thing we really wanted to do on Anthem was fix some of the things we've done in the past
01:58on Bioware games
01:59when it came to your appearance. In a lot of our other games, like Mass Effect with Shepard, Shepard always
02:08looked great.
02:09The party always looked great. But when it came time to equipping new armors or if you get upgrades throughout
02:16the game,
02:17the armors always looked a little less great. They were always a little flatter.
02:22The quality wasn't as good as it should have been.
02:24So on this, with Anthem, what we did was we established our visual target first
02:29and then we deconstructed that and rebuilt the entire personalization system around that
02:35so that all the stuff you see in all our trailers, our cinematic assets,
02:38it is built with the same tools that the players will have to customize their actions.
02:45Awesome. And can we go in one level a little further?
02:48Yeah. So the next question is for you, Leah.
02:51So Francis and the team had these lofty goals of being able to do all this amazing stuff,
02:55which inherently is quite complicated.
02:58And you and your team had to build a system that supported this.
03:01So before we dive into how it all works, can you tell us a little bit about how you guys
03:06went into about designing the system?
03:09Yeah, absolutely.
03:10So I think for most of our UIs and the user experience is really driven around the idea that it
03:16should be frictionless,
03:17easy to use and sort of something that you can just spend time really enjoying the work that Francis has
03:24put together.
03:25So I don't want to say get out of the way, but essentially get out of the way.
03:29And so really what we've done here is the forge, which is where you'll be able to customize your loadouts.
03:38We've put all these little interaction points on the suit, which are your jumping points into all the places you
03:43can customize your XO.
03:45And that's your starting point.
03:48Cool. And so we're going to dive in here a second, but there's a lot to digest here.
03:53So do you mind, Leah, just describing what are kind of the main sections for how you can customize your
03:59appearance?
04:00And then we'll have Francis dive in and we'll get going.
04:02Sure. So as you can see, Francis is sort of hovering around the different points.
04:07We've got elements that can change sort of the silhouette of your suit and then elements that are going to
04:12be able to change how they look.
04:14So your helmet, your arms, your legs are all towards the silhouette.
04:20And then we've got things like, oh, in the chest.
04:22And then, of course, your paint, your vinyls and your wear state will all adjust the physical appearance of the
04:28suit.
04:28And then ultra special, very fun animations, which will be for your emotes, your landing and the victory pose.
04:37Awesome. So I think what we're going to try to do today is we'll do the ranger and we'll try
04:44for three appearances.
04:45And so Francis is just going to do his magics and we'll all watch in awe.
04:50Do you want to go to paint first, maybe?
04:51But I think we're going to start with paint, but why don't you take us away, Francis?
04:54Sure thing.
04:55So in the paint options, we have six regions on your exosuit that you can customize.
05:00They are very in-depth region.
05:04It's not just the color like how we've done in the past in our other games.
05:08It is a full material.
05:10So if I go into here, I can pick the main region here and I can apply a physical material
05:16to that.
05:18So I can pick the metal, pick the fabric, pattern fabric.
05:24And so one of the things again here is when you're picking these materials, it's not just the color.
05:30It is the physical material so that affects the reflectance, the smoothness and the color of the material.
05:39And I love the patterns because they can have two colors.
05:45I realize that I forgot to do some disclaimers.
05:49So shame on Ben.
05:51But a couple of disclaimers real quick.
05:53We're going to show you a lot of stuff that's in here.
05:55Not all of it is available at the very beginning.
05:58Some things you unlock through the game in various ways.
06:02We also today don't want to talk about how many things there are, how you unlock them.
06:06Are there things that you pay for?
06:09Are there things that you can earn in game?
06:11That's all a topic for a different time.
06:13We just want to focus on the really cool ways you can customize your appearance.
06:17So I just wanted to make sure that was clear that none of what you see in here is either
06:22the total amount or a subset of the amount.
06:24We're just not really going into that.
06:25We just want to focus on showing you guys a bunch of cool stuff today.
06:30Yep, so what I'm going through here is I'm just kind of resetting the default look of the ranger.
06:36And I am putting in just a blank slate.
06:39Just a white canvas to start with.
06:41So I'm picking some random materials here.
06:47A bit of fabric.
06:49So once you've kind of picked the materials that you like, you can go ahead and start picking the colors.
06:55We have a whole bunch of custom colors here.
06:58Thank you, sir.
07:00Yes, so you can actually make your own color palettes.
07:04As you see, Francis has been trying this feature out quite heavily.
07:08I expect we'll all spend a lot of time doing this.
07:11And you can use sort of any color you want.
07:14The full color wheel is available here.
07:16There's tons of really cool options.
07:18And as you create different colors, they're all saved into this palette so you can use them for later.
07:24Yep, so I'm just kind of presetting some colors that I want to use here for customizing my ranger.
07:34So while you guys are doing this, we also have AJ and Jesse helping us out on our community team,
07:41reading through the chat for questions.
07:43Please just make sure you guys ask questions as we go.
07:47I think the easiest way is if you all ask questions about the section we're in at the time, then
07:52we can answer them as we go instead of trying to wait until the end to do Q&A.
07:55So make sure you ask questions about what you're seeing right now.
07:59We have questions on paint, on materials, and then we can direct them to Francis and Leo.
08:18All right, so what are you trying to aim for here, Francis?
08:21Do you have a vision in mind of what you're trying to achieve?
08:24Yeah, I'm kind of going for a bounty hunter look.
08:29Cool.
08:30I thought you were going to make me the Australian Rugby Union jersey again.
08:34I can do that.
08:36Maybe we can do that a little later.
08:38We can certainly do that.
08:40That's fine.
08:41I know when there's a no out there, Francis.
08:43That's fine.
08:47So one of the nice things is, yeah, once you've picked your colors here, you can go ahead and just
08:52pick any material and the colors will store and they'll save so you don't lose your settings.
08:56You can go back and iterate things on the fly.
09:01Yeah, when you guys were trying to work out the regions, because I think it's interesting we have the six
09:05different regions.
09:06How did you work out, like, how to split up those regions?
09:09So here, just going through the regions from top to bottom, the regions are named in the same way that
09:15the artist had originally built the suit.
09:17So the ranger suits have three hard surfaces and three soft surfaces.
09:23Again, the player can pick whichever region they want, but at least it gives them some guidance as to where
09:29these materials would look best.
09:31So I could go ahead in here and I could make this a metal, although it might look a little
09:36weird that if it's, for example, on the storm cape, it would be a little weird to have a metallic
09:41cape.
09:41But you could go ahead and do that if you want.
09:44I personally feel it looks cool, but as an artist, it might be weird.
09:49A metal cape, but it still flows, am I right?
09:51It does. It's very shiny.
09:54There is nothing wrong with being super shiny.
09:57We have a couple of questions coming through chat that I'll ask you guys.
10:01So can you make custom logos in-game?
10:06No, you cannot currently make custom logos, but you do have the options to do vinyls.
10:14Do we want to go into that now?
10:15I mean, let's hold vinyls.
10:20But yeah, vinyls are effectively what you're asking for.
10:23They're not custom.
10:24We have a whole lot to show you, and Francis will show that off later.
10:27So yeah, the answer is no for now.
10:29Will there be more and more things added once the game is live?
10:33So the answer to that is yes, absolutely.
10:35We're still trying to work out the plan for all of that.
10:39But our goal is to keep adding more and more stuff forever.
10:42As long as we can think of cool things to add, we'll add more stuff to the game.
10:47Final question for one of you guys at the moment that we have.
10:51Will the Legion of Dawn armor have all legs, arms, chest, and head as well?
10:56Yep, so this is probably a good time to go dive into the Legion of Dawn.
11:02Okay, so in here, this is as Leo was mentioning earlier, we have the parts.
11:07So we can go ahead and start equipping pieces of gear.
11:11So for example, I put on the Legion of Dawn arms.
11:15Go through and pick the helmet.
11:16And the player can pick which ones they want to have.
11:24Yes, I think an interesting thing you were explaining in a different meeting, Francis, was how these parts work.
11:33Like it's less about like equipping arms as much as a bunch of attachments that reflect the character model.
11:40Do you want to explain that just a little bit?
11:41Right, so each of the exosuits, like the base suit underneath, the Ranger, the Colossus, the Storm, and the Interceptor,
11:49all have an iconic look, which is their lowest level form.
11:54And then all the part attachments that get added on top, they are topical.
11:58Although you can switch out your helmet.
12:04So you're putting the Legion of Dawn armor pack on, which is available to people that pre-order for the
12:13Ranger.
12:14And if you buy the Legion of Dawn edition, you can get the Legion of Dawn armor packs for all
12:20four javelins available at launch.
12:24So one question, so many people have seen the Legion of Dawn art on the website,
12:31probably not realizing that, hey, like that's the armor pack, but you can also customize it.
12:37Will people be able to make it look exactly like the image on the website?
12:42Yes, so what players will do, what we will do is we will release a set of materials in here
12:48similar to this,
12:49and we will have them named Legion of Dawn, so that way they'll give the players some guidance as to
12:55how to replicate that look.
12:58So they can attach just all the Legion of Dawn materials to the regions, and then just pick the colors
13:02that they want to go with.
13:04It's pretty simple, though. It's silver and gold, you can't go wrong.
13:09It looks amazing, though. People are excited.
13:12A question for you, Leah. Can we save these personalization appearances to loadouts?
13:21Yes, absolutely. So we do have a section where you can store loadouts for all your different javelins,
13:28and edit them, change them as you like, and it will also store all of your gear and customization as
13:33well.
13:34So they'll be the full package for you to build on.
13:39Awesome. I have a bunch more questions coming in.
13:42If you guys have things to say, just stop me and keep talking.
13:45But what are some of the ways you can unlock new colors or materials?
13:52So again, it's a good question. It's one of the things we don't want to get into today.
13:56So we're still working out for all of Vanity and all of our personalization options,
14:02how they're going to be unlocked in the game.
14:04And so we're not really ready to share that yet, but we can share that at a later date.
14:08It's a really good question. Just don't want to talk about any of it right now.
14:13Can you show how to use Legion of Dawn appearances?
14:16Yes, that's what we're doing now. I think I just missed that question earlier.
14:19Apologies.
14:22Can you change the color of any of the unique appearances?
14:27Yes is the answer. So that's kind of what Francis is doing now with the Legion of Dawn armor packs.
14:31He's done a couple of different colors, which is really cool.
14:37And I think certain materials, Francis, they have either just the paint color that you can change,
14:42and then all of our metallics have quite a few different metallic branches.
14:46So metal, with the way our physically-based rendering works is metal has an actual scientific value behind it.
14:54So if we start breaking that value, it tends to look not great in real light,
15:01or at least in the game lighting scenario.
15:03So the regions are contextual.
15:06So if you do pick a metal, for example.
15:09Let's see, I want to go with the welded ones.
15:13I like these ones.
15:15So if you were to pick these metals,
15:17you would get a different color palette range.
15:20So these are all physical real-world metals that exist in real world.
15:24So you have gold, brass, copper, nickel, tin, silver, tungsten.
15:29There's no alien materials.
15:32No, these are all based off real-world metals.
15:36So a question while you're in this screen, I think maybe,
15:39is can you zoom and rotate, like if you want to see more of the character?
15:45Yep.
15:45So you have controls to go ahead and at each level be able to interact with the exosuit.
15:51Awesome.
15:53A question was, will there be a randomized feature for colors?
15:59That's a great idea.
16:01I will take that one back.
16:03Currently, not right now.
16:06But the nice thing is we saw on this, we have preset colors.
16:09So the artists have already pre-selected a wide range of colors.
16:13So people don't have to, every single time, go through the color wheel
16:16and have to pick it for every single material.
16:20And just so people are aware, we've also added white and black values
16:24because I know that a lot of people always ask for black.
16:29That kind of ties into a question I had.
16:31So I remember early on, we were trying to work out how the system would work
16:35to have a lot of depth but also be simple for people like me
16:40who aren't the best with fashion.
16:43and we got to an interesting place where I think it's pretty straightforward
16:47for someone who doesn't want to spend too much time
16:49or isn't necessarily that good at this kind of stuff
16:52in making something look good.
16:54Do you guys want to describe a little bit like if you're a kind of low-key person
16:59who just wants to do something quickly, how do we do that?
17:06So usually when you're in your loadouts...
17:09...
17:13...
17:15So you will always, whenever you create a new loadout, you will get your default ranger.
17:21And it just, oh yeah, I edited it.
17:23Anyway, so, why don't we just go through this.
17:26So as you create loadouts, you can name them whatever you want.
17:30I don't know, Jesse, if you'd be able to...
17:33Give us a name.
17:34Give us a name.
17:40Yeah, and so this is a really, really great way that if you make a couple of things
17:43that you really like, you can swap between them easily.
17:46You know, but you can also just do stuff like, hey, go to all six regions and make them all
17:51black
17:51and that will just look pretty cool by itself.
17:53So you don't have to, like, go through everything and spend lots of time.
17:57Although if you want to, you can really make something that kind of reflects your personal style and flair.
18:03Yeah, I mean, if I've got a whole bunch of friends playing here at work and I just want to
18:08get out,
18:09I'll just grab the default and change up a few colors.
18:12Typically, all metal, very fast while they're waiting for me so that I can play my favorite Bender from Futurama
18:20look.
18:21It's always good.
18:23So no, it's super quick.
18:25You're in and out while everyone's readying up.
18:28And you're also very shiny.
18:31Speaking of shiny, do you want to go into wear a little bit, Ben?
18:34Yeah.
18:35Yeah.
18:36So we do have wear options as well.
18:38So, again, ever since everything is built in a layered fashion,
18:44we kind of built it in a way so that the players can choose how they want their exosuit to
18:49look.
18:49Do they want them to look all beat up?
18:51Do we want them to look dirty?
18:53Do we want them to look all chipped and painted or have chipped paint?
18:57So the players can go ahead and do that or just cover it in grime.
19:04It's a little harder to see here.
19:05So that, let me just switch up the appearances.
19:08Since it is all material based, if you have cloth and you put stains on it,
19:14it'll stain a bit more like cloth versus if you were, if you had an all metal suit,
19:19the wear would make the metal duller.
19:22It would make it cover, the way the surface response of the wear will react differently.
19:32And I should also mention that you can, as we're looking at this,
19:35you can zoom in and out, toggle on and off the little interaction points
19:39if you just want to spend time admiring your suit as well.
19:43There's a few of the options we've added in there,
19:45as well as you can see, not in this screen, but in other ones,
19:48there's lots of options, so we've added filters as well
19:50if you want to quickly get into what you need.
19:54Awesome.
19:55A question came through that I might, we'll see.
20:00The question is, does this only affect your appearance
20:04as opposed to stats with things like the Legion of Dawn armor packs?
20:12Elia, do you want to grab that one?
20:13Or Ben, you want to grab that?
20:15Yeah, I can answer.
20:16So basically there's two big parts of the game.
20:20One is power and one is vanity.
20:22And so what we're talking about now is purely vanity, personalization, appearance,
20:27all kind of synonyms, I guess.
20:28So everything we're doing now only affects how you look.
20:32Separately to that, we have power, which is gears, guns,
20:37and a few other equippable parts that we haven't really delved into yet.
20:41and that's where you get your power and your stats.
20:44So we've really tried to separate that so that, you know,
20:47there's one part of the game that's all about becoming powerful
20:49and then there's a different part of the game
20:51that's about, you know, changing your appearance to be the way you look.
20:55And again, how you unlock all those things,
20:57I don't want to go into today.
20:59But for what we're looking at right now,
21:00it's purely for your appearance.
21:05Another question,
21:06can you apply a paint scheme to multiple javelins?
21:13No, we don't have that ability right now,
21:16but I'm sure as we go into live service,
21:19we can take some of that feedback
21:20and make this even better for you.
21:25But great idea.
21:26Cool.
21:27It is a great idea.
21:28I knew that actually was no,
21:29so I feel good to be awesome.
21:31Yeah.
21:32One of those ones I'm recording silently.
21:35Yeah, it's funny
21:36because there's a bunch of good suggestions
21:37in here of things we don't have.
21:39And I think, you know,
21:40this is a really, really robust system,
21:42but obviously, like any system in any game,
21:45there's a bunch of things we'd love to do going forward
21:47to improve it.
21:48And so suggestions like that are really helpful for us.
21:51Sometimes they're things we thought about ourselves,
21:53but sometimes they're not.
21:54And so having those suggestions is great.
21:56So thank you all for asking those questions.
22:01I don't know if we know the answer to this.
22:02I don't.
22:03But how many personalizations can you save per javelin?
22:06So I guess that means how many loadouts can you have?
22:08I know right now we're looking at that.
22:12I believe it's currently set to five,
22:14but expect that number to change as we go towards shipping.
22:20Cool.
22:20All right.
22:21So let's take a little breath from questions for a second.
22:26Where are we at?
22:27I've been reading and not looking.
22:29Do you want to tell us where are we at, Francis?
22:31What do you want to do next?
22:32We can probably look at the vinyls now.
22:33It's probably a good time.
22:34There is a slight bug right now
22:37where when I select the loadout,
22:39I hope you're keeping track of this one, Leah.
22:41Yeah, sometimes misbehaves.
22:44So yeah, we can go right into the vinyls here.
22:46It's early.
22:46There's plenty of time.
22:50So the vinyls, again,
22:52is to answer that question about the custom logos.
22:54So here we have the vinyls system.
22:57So while we can customize your javelin
23:01and you can apply your materials,
23:02you can pick your colors,
23:04that's all nice,
23:05and you can come up with some really cool designs.
23:07But sometimes you just want a little bit more punch.
23:11maybe a little reward for doing things in the game.
23:14Just something that, in addition,
23:17you personalize your exo
23:18and give you a little bit of flair.
23:22That's what these vinyls are for.
23:23There's a lot of N7 poggers going on in chat.
23:27We might have to show that at some point.
23:29Am I just going to go around that?
23:31No.
23:33Yeah.
23:37And a question, Francis.
23:40These vinyls,
23:42are they javelin-specific?
23:44No.
23:45So the vinyls,
23:46once you have the vinyl,
23:48it'll apply on any javelin you have.
23:52And it should,
23:54within reason,
23:55look as good as it does on one javelin
23:57as it does on another.
23:58You can't always account for every single nook and cranny
24:01on the exo suit,
24:02that this little stripe
24:04might look in the exact same spot,
24:07but it is as close as the artist can possibly get
24:10to making it look good.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Like, the spirit of the decal works across all the suits, right?
24:15Like, I think they look really cool.
24:16I think you have a keener eye for it
24:18than many of us have.
24:22So this is the one you,
24:23this is the one that we made for Ben specifically
24:25for E3,
24:26because he requested it.
24:29I don't know if there are any other Australian rugby fans.
24:32It's inspired by the jersey.
24:34It's obviously not the jersey.
24:35It just uses the same colors,
24:37which is cool.
24:38I think.
24:39This is what I use when I play every day.
24:44I know a question that's come up internally.
24:47I didn't catch it in chat.
24:49I think it might have been there.
24:50It was,
24:51so you can change all the paint options
24:53for all the other stuff we've seen,
24:56but what about the vinyls?
24:58Can you change them at all,
24:59or how does that work?
25:00No.
25:01So we actually did.
25:03We debated this topic for a long time,
25:05and we tried to put full control for the player
25:09to customize each decal or each vinyl.
25:11The problem with that is
25:13the amount of performance expense
25:15that it has on the system
25:16where you're tracking more parameters,
25:19more data,
25:21which did affect performance negatively.
25:24And on top of that,
25:25there was an added complexity,
25:26so you would have to double up
25:28every single one of these menus
25:29so that the player would have to
25:31not only customize their exo,
25:35they would also have to go
25:36personalize their vinyl,
25:38which seemed like an extra bit of work
25:41for very little payoff,
25:43versus the artist just making,
25:44you know,
25:45releasing these cool-looking one-off items,
25:47which also,
25:48it really does help to signify things
25:51like for challenges
25:53to have these iconic-looking vinyls.
25:55So when you see another player
25:57who's done something,
25:58you can see the vinyl
26:00that is associated with it.
26:02Yeah, that's the part I was going to say.
26:04I think, you know,
26:05A, there's all the technical challenges
26:06and the user experience problems with it,
26:09but I think even as a player experience,
26:11to that exact point,
26:12it's great when you can see something
26:14and identify it.
26:15You know, again,
26:17we're not really talking about
26:17how you get things,
26:18but an example might be
26:20you complete a really difficult challenge
26:22and get a cool vinyl,
26:23and then you can use that
26:25to show off to your friends
26:26that you got it.
26:27And if they can look at that
26:28and immediately relate
26:29that that's where it came from
26:30and that's what it is,
26:31I think that's a really cool
26:32way to show off,
26:34even if it's a little humble brag.
26:37So the chat is demanding,
26:39and I'm sorry,
26:40they're demanding N7.
26:41Oh!
26:43The people have spoken, Francis.
26:45Let me just...
26:48But did you...
26:48I can't remember.
26:49So last week,
26:50was it last week?
26:51Or the week before?
26:51It was N7 day.
26:52Who knows what date it is anymore?
26:55And so we kind of were randomly like,
26:57hey, we should make
26:57an N7 look
26:59and share it on social media
27:00for N7 day.
27:01That's really cool.
27:02And so did you make this then
27:04or did you have it made already?
27:05No, I made it...
27:06It was done the night
27:07before the 7th.
27:10I thought so.
27:11Can you...
27:12So...
27:13I don't know if we need to replicate
27:14the exact look.
27:15You tell us.
27:16How do we make the N7 final look?
27:16I will get it as close as I can
27:18right now.
27:20Yeah.
27:25As Francis is doing this,
27:26AJ and Jesse,
27:28what are we like on time?
27:29I mean, we're happy
27:30to keep going a bit.
27:31You just give us
27:32like a five-minute countdown
27:33when you need us
27:34to start wrapping up.
27:37So far, so good, guys.
27:40Okay, great.
27:41I'll let you know.
27:47So we're going to do N7.
27:49Is there anything big in chat
27:50you guys would like to see?
27:51Is there something
27:52that we haven't shown
27:53that you've seen
27:54in the menus
27:55that you think is cool
27:56or something you think
27:57we might have missed
27:57that you guys want to see?
28:05This is an interesting question.
28:07I think the answer is no
28:07and it might go into
28:08our cool ideas for the future.
28:11Is there a way
28:12to match colors
28:13to the decals
28:14once you apply them?
28:16No, but that's
28:17a really good idea.
28:18I don't know
28:19if we can add a color picker
28:20dynamically on top
28:21of the screen,
28:22but that is...
28:23That would help a lot.
28:24Do you want to, like...
28:26I'm not an artist,
28:27let's be super clear,
28:28but I don't know
28:28if you want the same colors,
28:29do you?
28:30Well, that's kind of...
28:31That is...
28:32I think probably
28:33the person who asked that
28:33was...
28:34They noticed I was trying
28:35to match the color
28:36to the decal.
28:37or to the final.
28:39So that is a good question,
28:39so maybe we'll look
28:40into that one.
28:41Yeah, I mean,
28:41if you had it equipped
28:43in the paint section,
28:45we could just have
28:45an extra section
28:48with related colors.
28:52So...
28:52I am signing us up.
28:55I'm just kidding.
28:56I might make
28:57a high-risk suggestion here
28:59for once you're done
29:00with this.
29:03So,
29:04chat is asking
29:06if we could see
29:06a different javelin.
29:09So,
29:10I think...
29:12So first of all,
29:13can we show a different one?
29:14Question mark?
29:15Right now?
29:16Yes, we can.
29:16We were having
29:16some problems earlier.
29:17Okay, sure.
29:18So we saw the problem.
29:19So, chat,
29:20you get to demand,
29:21you have to type
29:22storm or interceptor,
29:24and then we will pick
29:25whichever one
29:27has the most.
29:28Oh, good.
29:33And also,
29:34please give some
29:36PogChamp
29:36for the N7 look
29:38because Francis did it
29:39without rehearsal.
29:40Yes.
29:41So good.
29:42I got it wrong.
29:42You got it wrong?
29:43I can't tell.
29:45That's close.
29:46It feels super close.
29:49For, like,
29:50no pressure
29:51in front of thousands
29:52of people
29:52on the spot
29:53with no practice.
29:54that feels
29:55like a pretty good deal.
29:57All right.
29:58So,
29:59the votes are in.
30:01I've used
30:02my eyes
30:03skimming chat
30:03for five seconds
30:04to decide
30:05which one was most popular.
30:06And I think
30:07the storm
30:07was the winner.
30:09So, once we're done
30:10with this,
30:10we might swap over
30:11to the storm, Francis.
30:13Okay.
30:13We can do that now.
30:15Do it.
30:16Leah, a question to you.
30:17So, you know,
30:18all the suits are different.
30:20Is there lots
30:20of different setup
30:21required
30:22for the different javelins?
30:24like when you guys
30:24are building the system?
30:26Is there any complexity
30:27with that?
30:27Yes.
30:28Like, each of them
30:28are set up
30:29with their own
30:31interaction points.
30:32They actually have
30:33their own names
30:33for each of the regions.
30:35Some of them
30:35have more paint regions
30:36than other ones.
30:37Yes, there's actually
30:38quite a bit of custom work
30:40that goes into
30:41setting up each of these
30:42from the cameras
30:43and all that kind of stuff.
30:46Which makes it all
30:47really fun
30:48and cool
30:48and unique.
30:50So, what we might do
30:52here, Francis,
30:52is let's spend
30:53like just two
30:54or three minutes
30:57Oh, we already
30:57have a cool appearance.
30:59You pre-made
31:00this one.
31:02That's fine
31:03but let's spend
31:04two or three minutes
31:05fiddling around
31:06just showing anything
31:07you think is kind of
31:08cool or different
31:08about the storm
31:09and then we might
31:11take a few more questions
31:12and then we'll start
31:12wrapping it up
31:13because we're
31:13starting to go
31:15over time here.
31:21Do you want
31:22to try emotes?
31:23Oh, yes.
31:24Let's do that.
31:24I don't know
31:25what they'll do
31:25on the storm.
31:26Do we want to try
31:27it on the storm?
31:28Do we want to?
31:29No, no, no.
31:30Let's, I think
31:31have we ticked the box
31:32of we saw a different
31:33javelin and it looked
31:34really awesome?
31:35I think we did.
31:36So, let's go back
31:37to the ranger.
31:38We're still finishing
31:39a bunch of setup stuff
31:40so we want to show
31:41you guys some of
31:42the animations
31:43like emotes
31:44and things like that
31:44but we only
31:45check through them
31:46on the ranger
31:46so we just want
31:47to do that
31:48to be safe
31:50today.
31:51So, let's jump
31:52over.
31:54Oh, you set up
31:55a bunch of these.
31:56I'm just going to
31:56go ahead and tell you
31:56some of the stuff
31:57because why not?
31:59Frances is like,
32:00look, I know
32:00you're the host
32:01but I don't care.
32:02I have two things
32:02to show so I'm
32:03just going to go
32:04ahead and show them.
32:05Yep.
32:06Okay.
32:06So, we should have
32:07been doing this
32:08on my account
32:09and this would
32:09definitely defeat
32:10all my shiny suits
32:12for sure.
32:16Okay, so we're
32:17going to do
32:17the ranger,
32:18look at some
32:18of the animation
32:19stuff, so things
32:20like emotes
32:21but we're also
32:21going to call
32:22five final questions
32:23so the community
32:25guys will skim
32:26chat for the
32:26final five questions
32:27and as we do
32:28this we'll answer
32:29them as we go
32:30and then we'll
32:31start wrapping up.
32:32So, do you want
32:32to just talk
32:33through Leah first
32:33like what are
32:34the sections
32:34in this screen
32:35represent?
32:35Sure, so here
32:36you're able to
32:37set your victory
32:38pose which is
32:39at the end
32:40of all of
32:40our missions
32:41you get this
32:42really cool
32:42fun celebratory
32:44wrap up
32:45with your friends
32:46so you can set
32:47anything you want
32:47there.
32:48Arrival animation
32:49is anytime
32:50you enter the
32:51game at the
32:52start of missions
32:53or you're
32:54helping other
32:55people and you
32:56make a grand
32:56entrance so you
32:57can set your
32:58arrival animation
32:59and then we
33:00have emotes.
33:00Do we have
33:00any of them
33:01that we can
33:01show or
33:03No, they're
33:05not set up
33:05in there quite
33:06yet but we
33:07do have lots
33:08of emotes.
33:08So we need to
33:08tease for later.
33:10Tease, yeah.
33:11How cool you
33:12look when you
33:12enter the
33:14game is one
33:15for next time.
33:16Yeah, there's
33:17lots of really
33:17fun emotes here.
33:19Right now we've
33:20got three of them
33:20that you can use
33:21pick in game
33:24and there's
33:24just all sorts
33:26of great ones.
33:30This is my
33:31favorite one.
33:31Finger guns?
33:32Yeah.
33:32Yeah.
33:36We're kind of
33:37playing emote
33:38roulette right
33:39now because we
33:40do not have
33:40custom icons
33:41in quite yet
33:42so yeah
33:45but they're
33:45all working
33:46pretty cool
33:47look great
33:48shout out to
33:49the team
33:49for sure.
33:50Yeah, the
33:51stuff looks
33:51great.
33:52So if you
33:52see these on
33:53the Colossus
33:54Yeah.
33:55I've seen
33:55Kung Fu
33:56Form 1
33:56before.
33:57I'm almost
33:58crying.
33:58This is so
33:59good.
34:00I've heard
34:00the Colossus
34:01doing a
34:01backflip is
34:02is quite
34:02fun as
34:03well.
34:06All right.
34:07So I don't
34:07know AJ and
34:08Jesse if we
34:09have any of
34:09those questions
34:10coming through
34:10we should
34:11probably ask
34:12them when you
34:13guys have a
34:13second.
34:14Yeah for sure.
34:15One thing Ben
34:16that I wanted to
34:17touch on if you
34:18don't mind
34:20and Francis
34:20do you mind
34:22pulling back up
34:23the Legion of
34:24Dawn?
34:25Yes.
34:25Can we show
34:25that a little
34:26bit?
34:26So a lot of
34:27people have been
34:28asking about
34:28Legion of
34:29Dawn.
34:29We've got a
34:30link a nifty
34:32link on how
34:33you you know
34:35get all that
34:35stuff.
34:36Ben do you
34:37have that stuff
34:37in front of you
34:38or do you want
34:38me to go over
34:39it?
34:40Yeah.
34:40Yeah we can
34:40talk about it
34:41real quick.
34:41so again
34:42the Legion of
34:43Dawn armor
34:44pack is
34:45is the
34:47thing you
34:47equip with
34:48your head
34:48chest legs
34:49etc.
34:51As Leah
34:51described it's
34:52kind of the
34:52things that
34:53change your
34:53silhouette and
34:54so if you
34:55pre-order the
34:56game you get
34:57access to the
34:58Legion of Dawn
34:59armor pack for
35:01the Ranger which
35:02is what we're
35:02looking at now.
35:03Super cool.
35:05And then what I
35:06think is one of
35:07the most generous
35:08offerings in video
35:09game history
35:11if you purchase
35:12the Legion of
35:13Dawn edition
35:15you get the
35:16Legion of Dawn
35:17armor pack for
35:18all four of the
35:19javelins.
35:20So that's four
35:21armor packs which
35:22is which is I
35:24think awesome.
35:24We're just really
35:25excited for people
35:26who you know want
35:27to be early adopters
35:28to the game to be
35:29really generous with
35:30a really cool look
35:31that you can
35:32celebrate like hey
35:33I've been here from
35:33the beginning and
35:35so we wanted to
35:35make sure we reward
35:36that.
35:36The details are on
35:37the website.
35:39I don't know if
35:39you have the
35:40specific link
35:41AJ.
35:45Yeah I think you
35:46touched on everything
35:47perfectly.
35:48We're still pulling
35:49some more questions
35:50from the chat as
35:52Francis toys around
35:54with this this
35:55javelin here and
35:56he's kind of
35:57recreating what you
35:58see in the mock up
36:01there.
36:01It's really cool.
36:03One question we're
36:05getting Ben and
36:06this might be for
36:07you some people
36:08asking about and I
36:09know we're not
36:09talking about weapons
36:11or gear yet but
36:12they want to know
36:12about you know how
36:14that works.
36:15Are those part of
36:16what you colorize and
36:18stuff like that?
36:20Sure so do
36:22Lira and Francis
36:23I could answer that
36:25one in terms of
36:26weapons specifically.
36:27so weapons do not
36:29receive colorization in
36:32the same way as the
36:33exosuit.
36:33Weapons will be
36:34they will have unique
36:35looks and appearances
36:36there will probably
36:37probably be another
36:38stream going over
36:40that so you can have
36:41really cool looking
36:42guns.
36:44Yep and kind of
36:45same with gear like
36:46there are some
36:48variations to how
36:49the gear looks but
36:51that's based on the
36:52functionality of the
36:53gear and so it's not
36:55tied to things that
36:56you can specifically
36:58customize but you
37:00can tie them together
37:01in loadout so you
37:02can pick hey I want
37:04these three gear
37:04pieces these two
37:05weapons with this
37:07appearance and I
37:08save the whole thing
37:09as one loadout so
37:11you know you might
37:12want to make the red
37:14dragon ranger
37:16appearance that's all
37:17red and then you
37:19have equip fire gear
37:20and and then you
37:21might want to make
37:22the frosty warrior
37:24I wish I was more
37:25creative and you
37:27know you make
37:28yourself blue and
37:30then you equip the
37:30frost grenade and
37:31save that as a loadout
37:32and you can then swap
37:33between both the
37:35customization you have
37:36of gear and weapons
37:37and the appearance
37:38can be tied together
37:40so that's pretty cool.
37:46Next question AJ?

40:03our goal is to do it in
40:05a couple of weeks.
40:05We're trying to get
40:06consistent with this
40:07stuff.
40:08We haven't announced a
40:10topic yet although if
40:11you're savvy on Twitter
40:12you saw Mike posing
40:14questions out last night
40:15about what you guys would
40:16like to see next stream.
40:18So we'll have some
40:19announcements for that
40:20coming soon.
40:21Hopefully in the next
40:21couple of days we'll give
40:22you some more clarity on
40:23what we'll do for the
40:25next stream.
40:29Okay and then before we
40:32sign off let's get the
40:34last two questions.
40:35So can you change the
40:38color of the visor on
40:39helmets?
40:40That's a good question.
40:41Leah do you want to
40:42answer that one?
40:43The visor on the
40:44helmets?
40:44Is it yes?
40:45I think it's yes.
40:46Okay.
40:47Yes.
40:48Yes.
40:49I'm like yes.
40:50Can we do it?
40:51Not now.
40:52No.
40:53Okay.
40:54So we will be able to
40:55to do it.
40:56Yes.
40:57Good.
40:57Good question.
40:59I think we asked we
41:01answered this question
41:02which was can we change
41:04your appearance of
41:04weapons to my javelins?
41:05So we talked about that
41:07already.
41:07Let me see if I can find
41:09a random question in
41:10chat.
41:11And your gear does
41:12inherit the collars of
41:14your javelin.
41:16Oh that's a great
41:17color.
41:17So I misspoke before.
41:18I said it didn't.
41:20Yes.
41:20That's a great
41:20clarification.
41:23Awesome.
41:28A lot of the
41:29questions I'm seeing
41:31are similar
41:33to ones we've
41:34answered.
41:35So let's go ahead
41:36and call it there.
41:38First of all I want to
41:39just thank everyone
41:40who was involved in
41:41putting the stream
41:41together.
41:42It might seem like we
41:44just turn up and chat
41:45but a lot of pre-work
41:46goes into this and so
41:48we had a lot of great
41:48help from a bunch of
41:50production folk, a bunch
41:51of our QA partners.
41:53Francis and Leah put a
41:54lot of time into this.
41:55Jesse and AJ put a lot
41:57of time into helping
41:57getting everything set up.
41:58So thank you all so
