Hello everyone and welcome to yet another stream in the world of Vera.
- 00:35
I am joined by two absolutely awesome and stellar developers on Ashes of Creation with
- 00:41
whom you have actually experienced a live stream with before.
- 00:46
They are our glorious engineer, Keenan.
- 00:50
How you doing buddy?
- 00:52
Good.
- 00:53
How are you?
- 00:54
I'm doing good.
- 00:55
Happy to be here with you again.
- 00:57
And then we also have one of our senior game designers, Mr. Trap.
- 01:02
How you doing Trap?
- 01:04
Hey, good to see everyone again.
- 01:05
Good to be back.
- 01:07
So we are in a new biome that actually I don't believe anyone's ever seen before.
- 01:16
Where are we?
- 01:17
We are in the...it kind of looks a little bit like the Alpine Forest, but actually this
- 01:23
is a part of the Riverlands.
- 01:25
This is up near the Alpine Forest area.
- 01:30
So you're going to see some western larks and eastern hemlocks.
- 01:36
We're obviously at a bit of a higher elevation.
- 01:38
If you look off to the east over there, you can see kind of where the starting area for
- 01:47
the Aelan humans, excuse me, the Kalar and the Vellun would start in Alpha 2, down in
- 01:56
the basins of the Riverlands.
- 01:58
But we are somewhere else.
- 02:01
And the reason we're up in this higher elevation is because we want to show to you guys the
- 02:06
night and day cycle, a little bit of some of the cemetery areas with some undead.
- 02:13
And there's some constellations I think we're going to be taking a look at today as well
- 02:16
that we'll get a good vantage point from up in this elevation.
- 02:20
And also you may notice two familiar characters.
- 02:24
We have the ranger that you guys saw a little bit.
- 02:27
Keenan, you're playing the ranger, right?
- 02:29
Yep.
- 02:30
All right.
- 02:31
Now don't...there was a lot of commentary about my playing of the ranger and some people
- 02:37
didn't think I played it very well.
- 02:39
So we're going to have to make sure that you're on your game today with that ranger.
- 02:44
I'll show them how it's done.
- 02:46
Taking your job.
- 02:47
Exactly.
- 02:48
And then we also have, Chad, you're playing the fighter, right?
- 02:52
Yep.
- 02:53
I'm going to have to substitute as the tank role of the party.
- 02:56
Oh, that's...
- 02:57
The actual tank.
- 02:58
That's right.
- 02:59
We haven't shown off the tank yet.
- 03:00
So the fighter is going to be our tank today, which I think is fine.
- 03:04
Let's start heading down this way a little bit.
- 03:07
What do you say?
- 03:09
Let's go.
- 03:10
Let's do it.
- 03:11
Let's do this.
- 03:12
So what do we have today with the cleric, Chad?
- 03:16
We're going to be looking a little bit at the cleric and some of the new weapons.
- 03:23
The mace and the staff.
- 03:25
Is that right?
- 03:26
That is correct.
- 03:27
We've got a two-handed staff and a one-handed mace shield.
- 03:32
You'll also see four new spells that the cleric will be casting.
- 03:37
And I won't spoil too much on that.
- 03:38
You'll see them as we start getting into combat here.
- 03:42
Now Keenan, you play a cleric as a main in your MMOs.
- 03:46
Is that right?
- 03:47
Yeah, I typically play support.
- 03:49
And what is the most fun aspect of cleric gameplay for you?
- 03:53
Hmm.
- 03:54
Put you out of the spot.
- 04:02
For me, it's making sure it's being able to ensure that the party wins.
- 04:11
Yes, that is definitely the role I think of as support.
- 04:15
Any good player knows that supports win and lose games, in my opinion.
- 04:21
Apologies to all non-support players.
- 04:24
But you know, when you think about the...
- 04:26
Oh, let's hold on.
- 04:27
Let's pause here.
- 04:28
This looks like a little bit of a scary area.
- 04:30
And as a matter of fact, let me see if...
- 04:35
But you know, we might need some supplies in here.
- 04:37
Let me just see if I can chop down some trees.
- 04:43
You know what?
- 04:46
I think there was some oaks down here.
- 04:50
These oaks might come in handy later.
- 04:51
We'll see.
- 04:54
But you know, when you think about cleric gameplay, that whack-a-mole that Trad said,
- 05:00
that's kind of, I think, what a lot of MMO players are accustomed to, right?
- 05:05
Yeah, probably.
- 05:07
It's like following your party's hit point bars in...
- 05:13
Health bars in the party window and just clicking between them and making sure you're like maintaining
- 05:20
rotations and cooldowns on your heal abilities.
- 05:25
You know, saving the really high mana usage ones for emergency situations and just ensuring
- 05:31
that your resource management, as well as like, you know, who your tanks are, who your
- 05:37
fighters are, if a DPS gets out of position and starts taking a bunch of damage, like
- 05:41
they're ruining your mana management essentially, right?
- 05:45
So it's a little bit of dependency on like your party, as well as your own rotation.
- 05:51
Yeah, it's a very reactive play style that I like.
- 05:56
A lot of, you know, a lot of the time when you're playing DPS, it's like a lot of things
- 06:00
are kind of predetermined with your rotation and all that.
- 06:03
And obviously there's like reactive elements there that you're reacting to external variables
- 06:07
and the encounters and such.
- 06:09
But you know, with clerics, there's generally not as much of a rotation.
- 06:14
You're kind of responding every moment based on what's happening to your party.
- 06:17
Yeah, there's a lot of predictive opportunities as well, like making sure that you're in the
- 06:21
right place at the right time.
- 06:23
Right.
- 06:24
Yeah, absolutely.
- 06:25
All right, let's dismount and see what we got up here.
- 06:28
These look like some skin walkers.
- 06:32
What are these skin walkers?
- 06:33
Trad, you want to talk to us a little bit about them?
- 06:37
These are just one of your basic fodder enemies.
- 06:40
Like you know, they're not too dangerous individually, but you know, in a pack they could be something
- 06:46
to concern yourself with so you don't want to pull too many at a time.
- 06:50
Let's take them out and see what happens.
- 06:53
Not too bad, not too bad.
- 06:59
All right, it took some damage there.
- 07:04
A little bit of damage there.
- 07:07
That wasn't too bad.
- 07:09
Let me actually, hold on.
- 07:11
Let me adjust the master volume real quick.
- 07:16
Audio, you guys are going to see some outstanding UI work that's necessary.
- 07:21
I'm just going to pull down this little bit.
- 07:26
There we go.
- 07:29
All right, so that's still got some UI work to do on the settings panel, but you get to
- 07:34
see it in all of its work in progress glory.
- 07:38
So they did do a little bit of damage to you and talk to us a little bit about... Oh wow,
- 07:47
those guys actually got a little bit beat up.
- 07:50
Must be those buffs on chains.
- 07:52
Oh yeah.
- 07:54
I didn't actually even get to cast chains.
- 07:56
You got to cast it, it just didn't do too much.
- 08:00
Yeah, exactly.
- 08:01
So one thing we were trying to set up there that we'll of course get to see a little bit
- 08:04
more showcased in some of these tougher mobs inevitably coming up here is some class synergies.
- 08:12
This particular one is where we demonstrate setting up a status effect called stagger.
- 08:17
You'll see a floater text pop up.
- 08:18
Here, I'll show you.
- 08:19
Don't kill him, don't kill him.
- 08:21
Actually, you won't see it on my screen, yeah, but basically it sets up a status effect.
- 08:25
You can see a little bit of a VFX over his head and then as you see there, Steven followed
- 08:31
up with chains that triggers a stun on any target under that effect already.
- 08:38
Now up here I believe is an observation area where I am going to speed up time.
- 08:43
Now we talked a little bit about showcasing kind of night and day and up here if we make
- 08:50
it past some of these... This is like a cemetery, right?
- 08:54
Looks to be that way.
- 08:58
Oh yeah, these dogs are... These poor dogs, I feel terrible about them.
- 09:04
Oh, there's some zombies up here.
- 09:06
Okay, we got it coming.
- 09:09
They're starting to move towards me.
- 09:10
Not as fast though.
- 09:11
You can kite these a little bit.
- 09:12
Oh my God.
- 09:13
Never mind.
- 09:14
What the heck was that?
- 09:15
So much for kiting.
- 09:16
All right, get ready.
- 09:17
I need to drop a stun on them.
- 09:18
Or is it on cooldown?
- 09:19
Nope.
- 09:20
Okay, cool.
- 09:21
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:22
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:23
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:24
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:25
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:26
I'm going to go get the stun.
- 09:27
Nope, I got it.
- 09:28
All right.
- 09:29
Oh no, I accidentally canceled it.
- 09:32
Oh God.
- 09:33
Hold on, group heal.
- 09:34
There we go.
- 09:35
Okay, we're doing okay.
- 09:36
I got you.
- 09:37
I got you.
- 09:51
Some of them popped out of the ground.
- 09:59
I love the charge effect.
- 10:00
And it looks like they're...
- 10:01
Oh my God, a dog came.
- 10:02
I think we're hitting respawns.
- 10:03
We need to keep moving.
- 10:04
Oh God.
- 10:05
Want to pull them up this way?
- 10:06
Yep.
- 10:07
Now you'll notice my main heal actually can act as a damage if the enemy
- 10:21
target is...
- 10:22
If the target is an enemy.
- 10:24
And actually that can generate as a mechanic for the cleric some convictions.
- 10:29
Tell me a little bit about convictions, Tread.
- 10:31
Sure.
- 10:32
Yeah.
- 10:33
Conviction is a class resource we came up with for the cleric specifically.
- 10:37
Certain abilities will generate it based on certain criteria.
- 10:41
And as Steven was saying there, you can either use it to heal an ally or you can use it to
- 10:46
do damage to an enemy and generate conviction, which will then help you in the future heal
- 10:51
for more.
- 10:52
So kind of what Keenan was saying about predictive play being an element, not just reactive,
- 10:57
that would be one of the predictive aspects of the cleric.
- 11:00
Just kind of setting yourself up so that when things start looking a little rough, you've
- 11:06
kind of prepared that in advance by not healing as much early on and paying off later.
- 11:11
Now at this point, I think players are for the first time seeing one of the moons of
- 11:17
Vera.
- 11:19
And there are a few moons actually of Vera.
- 11:22
But you guys are going to witness me speeding up time because day and night cycles in Ashes
- 11:30
of Creation are actually over the course of a few hours between those night cycles.
- 11:37
So you're going to see the trees move all real rapidly and you're going to see the sun
- 11:41
drop rapidly and then you're going to see the night sky begin to form.
- 11:46
And we're going to try to identify some constellations if we can because constellations in Ashes
- 11:53
of Creation actually have a very relevant purpose across a whole host of different game
- 12:00
systems including on the narrative side, on mechanics like acquiring certain types of
- 12:06
relics for your node, on empowering certain abilities and or items that you have access
- 12:12
to.
- 12:14
And it is of course relevant that I am playing as a Vec.
- 12:18
Vec, as many of you may know, do worship and obviously study the stars.
- 12:26
So let me see if I can go ahead and speed up that time.
- 12:32
Standby.
- 12:35
There it goes.
- 12:36
The trees.
- 12:37
Look, I love it.
- 12:38
It's kind of like Time Machine a little bit.
- 12:41
Oh, and the moon changed positions.
- 12:45
It's now dead up in up and we see another one of the moons.
- 12:48
Now of course, as you guys may know, this is of course a work in progress, right?
- 12:53
We're working towards our Alpha 2.
- 12:55
So some of this stuff will likely change, especially on the art side.
- 13:00
But I love what the new skybox is doing and I mean it's just visually great.
- 13:06
The ambience of course changes now to include a different nighttime feel to it.
- 13:12
And the lighting actually in the night is not too bad.
- 13:14
I mean it gives you that kind of sense of dark darkness, but it's not inhibiting your
- 13:20
ability to play the game.
- 13:23
Now we are trying to look, we need each of us to kind of look in the sky in certain directions
- 13:28
to identify one of these constellations.
- 13:32
And I think what we are looking for is what was once called a Begorimal, but now is called
- 13:39
a Dawnbreaker, I believe.
- 13:43
So try to look all around as you can in the night sky and identify the location of the
- 13:51
Dawnbreaker.
- 13:53
Where is the Dawnbreaker?
- 13:56
I am not yet seeing it.
- 13:59
Are any of you seeing it?
- 14:02
I don't see...
- 14:05
Not on that.
- 14:07
Can we not find the Dawnbreaker?
- 14:12
Maybe we'll find another one of them.
- 14:19
Where is it?
- 14:20
Hold on.
- 14:21
It should have told me where it was.
- 14:23
Oh, there we go!
- 14:24
We found the Dawnbreaker!
- 14:28
You guys, oh it's right next to the destroyed moon.
- 14:30
Oh, that'll help.
- 14:32
There we go.
- 14:34
Oh, it looks so good.
- 14:36
I love it.
- 14:37
Now this is, that's, oh it went away.
- 14:40
Sad.
- 14:41
Sadge.
- 14:42
Now there is supposedly another constellation that is deeper into the cemetery if we want
- 14:50
to progress that way.
- 14:51
What do you guys think?
- 14:52
Let's check it out.
- 14:53
Yeah, but wait, before we go, let me give us all just a group blessing.
- 14:58
The four of us, the three of us, sorry.
- 15:00
I've got a buff before.
- 15:02
Let's do this.
- 15:03
I think that'll wear off long before we get to use it.
- 15:08
Oh yes.
- 15:09
Gotta conserve your mana.
- 15:10
I know.
- 15:11
Well, I'm trying.
- 15:12
Are we going the right way?
- 15:13
Oh, I think and healer are going different ways.
- 15:15
Uh oh.
- 15:16
We gotta avoid the pulls.
- 15:20
I think I might have pulled one.
- 15:22
There's one coming over this direction.
- 15:24
Oh god, they're here.
- 15:25
Where?
- 15:26
Where are you?
- 15:27
Oh, you're here.
- 15:28
Ah, okay.
- 15:29
You guys take care of it.
- 15:33
The zombies will never catch us.
- 15:36
Nice, we got that.
- 15:40
Where are you at?
- 15:41
There we go.
- 15:42
Yeah, it looks like we aggroed one.
- 15:45
Here, let's just get this guy real quick.
- 15:48
Oh, aggroed a lot more than one.
- 15:52
Oh my god.
- 15:55
Okay, let's tread carefully around these cords apparently.
- 16:05
We're doing okay I think.
- 16:11
Maybe I should take my staff out for this.
- 16:16
Oh, you know, I haven't shown any active blocking yet.
- 16:19
That's another thing I wanted to show you guys is the active blocking.
- 16:23
Are there creatures down here?
- 16:25
Yeah, there should be a pack down here I think.
- 16:27
All right, let's take a look.
- 16:28
What is this?
- 16:29
This is the graveyard.
- 16:30
Oh, it's a respawn point.
- 16:35
A resurrection.
- 16:37
Different kind of graveyard.
- 16:39
Yeah.
- 16:41
I love this environment and the fog on the ground is so...
- 16:46
What behind you is that?
- 16:47
Oh my god.
- 16:48
Here.
- 16:49
Oh god.
- 16:50
I'll let you tank for a little bit.
- 16:53
All right.
- 16:54
I have my active blocks up.
- 16:56
Oh boy.
- 16:57
There's a lot.
- 16:58
Okay, he doesn't seem to be doing much damage to me, but of course it would normally consume
- 17:04
stamina.
- 17:05
Is that correct, Tread?
- 17:08
Oh, that depends.
- 17:10
We're still kind of discussing our resource systems, but you know, that is one thing that
- 17:15
we can potentially explore.
- 17:16
Oh, don't stand in that.
- 17:19
Oh no, what do those do?
- 17:26
I know Doug and Chong were working on the zombies.
- 17:33
Yeah.
- 17:34
Using some of our new AI systems, right?
- 17:36
Don't stand in the green fire.
- 17:38
Don't stand in the vomit.
- 17:39
It actually hurts a lot.
- 17:40
Let me see if I can generate some convictions.
- 17:45
Oh, I have convictions.
- 17:50
Oh, and now you can see because I have convictions, my cleansing wave actually bounced to an additional
- 17:58
target.
- 18:03
That's pretty awesome.
- 18:04
We hit all three of us that time.
- 18:05
Yeah, that's nice.
- 18:06
That is very nice.
- 18:07
All right.
- 18:09
Let's keep moving forward.
- 18:10
Did I hit all three of you guys?
- 18:12
I noticed I have some conviction buff on my life bar right now.
- 18:19
You hit one additional target for each stack you have.
- 18:21
Oh my God.
- 18:23
You guys are hearing my steam, I think.
- 18:31
Apologies.
- 18:32
I'm sorry.
- 18:34
I'm recording from home.
- 18:35
All right, here we go.
- 18:36
Let me see if I can generate some more conviction.
- 18:43
It worked.
- 18:46
These zombies aren't too bad.
- 19:04
The more convictions that I generate, the more amplified the abilities become.
- 19:08
Is that right?
- 19:09
That is correct.
- 19:10
I like that.
- 19:13
Obviously, as we create more and more abilities, there will be more interactions.
- 19:18
Right now, you only see four, but the final hit will have way more than that going on.
- 19:27
I'm going to take my staff out.
- 19:35
We must show these beings the way of the light.
- 19:39
Talk to us a little bit about the way of the light, actually.
- 19:41
How does radiant energy and energy subtypes work with regards to damage and creatures?
- 19:53
Obviously we're going to have different damage types and certain damage types will be strong
- 19:58
or weak against certain enemy types.
- 20:01
You'll have to be somewhat smart about who you're bringing where or what kind of abilities
- 20:07
or specs.
- 20:11
Obviously you'll be able to do the content, but you'll have an easier time with certain
- 20:16
contents if you're using a certain spec over others.
- 20:21
We're going up against undead and as is natural, they're probably going to be a little weaker
- 20:25
against your holy magic than Keenan's nature element, for example.
- 20:30
Wow.
- 20:31
Keenan, are you going to let them talk to you about your nature like that?
- 20:40
I do like that.
- 20:41
We'll see.
- 20:42
See if it's weak.
- 20:43
I do like the- When we go up against the air elementals,
- 20:45
maybe Keenan's time will shine.
- 20:47
Oh, there you go.
- 20:48
I like the actual different synergy between energy types and vulnerabilities of certain
- 20:57
creatures.
- 20:58
There's actually a lot of mobs here.
- 21:00
Yeah, we should be careful before going forward.
- 21:03
We got things behind.
- 21:04
Okay, let's grab some things behind.
- 21:07
Whoa, did they aggro me because I'm a cleric?
- 21:10
That was crazy.
- 21:11
They kind of ran at me.
- 21:13
They might.
- 21:14
I think they were coming at me and you were just in their way.
- 21:17
Very interesting.
- 21:18
It's all right.
- 21:19
We got this.
- 21:20
We got to move forward with caution.
- 21:21
All right.
- 21:22
Let's get these guys up here.
- 21:23
I should use them to generate some convictions actually.
- 21:28
Oh, you want me to hold DPS?
- 21:37
It's not in my..
- 21:38
It's not in your nature.
- 21:39
Oh no.
- 21:40
He's a pacifist.
- 21:42
Oh, I've got my DPS hat on
- 21:48
Talk to us talk to us a little bit. Oh wait. Are you gonna pull here?
- 21:51
So I think they're seeing us from over here trying to trick the Sunuras into this. Oh, yeah
- 21:57
Oh, they got you they found me somehow
- 22:00
I set them up for a stun. Perfect. Now talk to me a little bit about why that Sun just happened. I
- 22:20
Set it up with whirlwind and it flies these staggered effects and
- 22:24
Chains of restraint will stun any targets under the staggered. So right now that's one particular synergy but in
- 22:33
As the game continues to come together and you see more abilities
- 22:38
There will be all kinds of ways to set up that
- 22:41
That outcome
- 22:50
So
- 22:51
Even more. Yeah, a lot of a lot of essentially the different combat mechanics that work
- 22:58
between the different archetypes and classes
- 23:04
Rely on synergies in the progression of certain types of status effects, right? That's correct
- 23:14
This of course
- 23:15
synthesizes the need for certain party compositions to exist so that players can make sure they utilize the
- 23:22
strengths of their different types of status conditions and the the example we're showing here obviously is the progression of
- 23:29
Oops, sorry is the progression of the staggered condition into the stun?
- 23:36
We might need to find a place to rest here. Yeah
- 23:39
Let's move forward
- 23:41
Up this way maybe right like up here. Let's just track in the wolves
- 23:47
We got one zombie coming in from behind that's alright, let's take a bit you want to grab these wolves
- 23:56
And you'll see because they're stunned the chains actually go through the body that's kind of cool
- 24:03
What about right here? Can we rest here?
- 24:05
Let's um, let's move up the stairs a little bit just so we don't catch a respawn on the wolves, okay
- 24:11
Can we take a seat maybe up here right right here?
- 24:14
Yeah, let's sit down. Hopefully the zombies don't follow us too far. I'm gonna take a seat. I think we have aggro still
- 24:22
Yeah, they're coming for us. I think
- 24:24
Oh no, okay, all right
- 24:32
Keenan you need some
- 24:39
Take a break after we get these guys down
- 24:41
Oh, yeah last wave I promise
- 25:00
Can't use my abilities
- 25:04
If I was a bit higher level I could help you regenerate your mana
- 25:06
Yeah, one thing we should be doing is focus firing these guys one aspect of the zombies as they have
- 25:13
more health region than your standard mob and
- 25:16
one
- 25:19
Strategy against them is to burst them down. Let's rest right up here
- 25:25
Yeah, there's some mobs right up there right here right here
- 25:28
Right here oh there we go this has been a frightful journey actually
- 25:37
Yeah, and one beautiful
- 25:40
Yeah, you can see Keenan's mana
- 25:43
Was a little low there and so as you know a classic
- 25:47
MMO thing to do is to sit and rest as you get your your resources back now
- 25:51
What if you have certain types of items that you could use like a campfire or some type of you know?
- 25:57
bedding or something that would be kind of cool. That'd be pretty cool. It would be cool. I
- 26:04
Like the just the the subtle fog that's just flowing through
- 26:10
It's the rain is nice you yeah, the rain is nice I like the sound
- 26:14
Look at those old lampposts. I think that's been in the game since 2017
- 26:20
Although it looks like the materials might have gotten updated
- 26:23
It
- 26:25
All right, I'm feeling refreshed should we
- 26:29
All right, so we've got a group right ahead of us here
- 26:35
Oh
- 26:36
No, no, no not like this. Oh, no. No you're dead gotta come in you are going to die
- 26:42
There is nothing I can do for you. Oh
- 26:46
My god
- 26:48
Focus the scholars
- 26:50
scholars first
- 26:52
Why is there so many?
- 26:54
That's all right three down
- 26:56
Walker
- 27:00
I can't it's on cooldown. Okay here comes oh my god. There's dogs
- 27:07
Ambush Houston Houston together oh
- 27:14
I almost got stuck in between all of them, too
- 27:17
I was terrible
- 27:22
Hey, we actually handled that not too bad. You got it
- 27:26
If we want to go this way right yeah, I'm super slow though
- 27:30
They put some type of plague debuff on me last time we got lost in here
- 27:34
It was it was a rough time now remember. We're looking for a particular type of constellation I
- 27:41
believe the ancient scholars of
- 27:44
The Vek refer to it as the great sundal
- 27:50
Whoops I totally misfire that rib how many look
- 28:05
Zombies
- 28:07
I
- 28:14
Have to say you are doing a great job with the Ranger well done here. Thank you. Yeah, you are
- 28:22
Where are we headed
- 28:24
I'm just I'm just running man. This is like a giant
- 28:29
Complex undead speaking of undead this is the first time I think we've ever shown undead in ashes
- 28:44
In fact these particular undead are a result I believe
- 28:49
for those of you who were watching the
- 28:52
livestream of
- 28:53
The wreckage of carfin the event that occurred there just before the exodus from from Vera all those years ago
- 29:06
Now where are we another scene walker?
- 29:08
I
- 29:17
This is an ominous
- 29:19
Passageway, I don't trust it. I like it. I also love the light effect that it has on my what
- 29:25
What is the name of this set? This is like the vindictus is it?
- 29:31
And oh that armor set yeah, you know we probably have already shown it on the street
- 29:36
So all of you. Oh, we will show
- 29:39
But I believe it's the imperious and the dictus or something along those lines. That sounds right
- 29:44
It's a very Latin sounding name
- 29:48
What is that? This is Vera? Oh
- 29:55
My god Keenan, I think you just summoned those with your sniper
- 30:00
They felt the nature
- 30:02
I
- 30:33
Murdered it
- 30:36
A little bit of help for me
- 30:43
Definitely me
- 30:46
Got to keep the healer safe yes
- 30:50
That is true. That is the primary role and responsibility of your archetype
- 30:54
Keep me safe
- 30:56
I like how they kind of pounce at you. That's their opening attack. Yeah, so
- 31:06
You see now the effect has staggered applied instead of stun
- 31:11
Because I did not use it at the right time with my fighter
- 31:16
All right, we're coming up across a bridge it looks like
- 31:22
Should we rest?
- 31:24
Maybe we should rest with the red logs. Yeah, that's a good idea
- 31:26
If we rest we should probably move off to the side over here. Where?
- 31:29
Wanna take a seat by the little river over here? Keenan's like, nope, I'm gonna rest right in the middle of the road
- 31:34
Gotta get those ticks. Sit by the river
- 31:37
It's a nice little spot
- 31:40
Yeah, it is a nice spot
- 31:42
I don't trust the water
- 31:44
Why?
- 31:46
Nothing bad happens in the water
- 31:48
It's just the depths
- 31:50
Think of all the secrets that the depths contain
- 31:52
Perfectly safe dark rivers in fantasy games
- 31:55
A zombie is totally not going to jump out of there and eat me alive
- 31:59
Out of the water?
- 32:01
No, that would never happen
- 32:03
Now remember for those of you who are watching during the extra life event
- 32:07
The Tower of Carthen actually rests upon a river
- 32:10
And some of the energies that were created when
- 32:16
Lamont actually did the...
- 32:18
Oh, oh, oh
- 32:20
Oh, they're shooting like necrotic bolts at you
- 32:24
Told you I didn't trust the river
- 32:28
Oh god, there's so many
- 32:30
There's a lot
- 32:32
I'm on the lamppost
- 32:34
Make sure you stay over here
- 32:36
Where are you, Dredd?
- 32:38
I'm still down here on the beach
- 32:40
Here I am
- 32:42
I got you, I got you
- 32:44
Here we go
- 32:46
We should probably get up onto this bridge
- 32:50
Yeah
- 32:52
I'm just trying to finish off this zombie first
- 32:54
I'm on the bridge
- 32:56
He's going to regen
- 32:58
Alright, he's down
- 33:00
Alright, let's get these two guys
- 33:08
But as I was saying, the Tower of Carthen event
- 33:12
That actually trickled out through the riverlands because of the rivers
- 33:16
And the undead began to form around these rivers
- 33:20
But you'll learn more about that during the story
- 33:26
Nice little
- 33:28
Stun these scholars real quick
- 33:32
Oh, they're dead
- 33:34
Nevermind
- 33:36
We're taking them off
- 33:38
Ranger's doing work
- 33:40
Let's go off to the side
- 33:46
What is up there?
- 33:50
That looks like something different
- 33:52
It's some type of little golem
- 33:54
Oh god
- 33:56
No, no, no
- 33:58
No, no, no
- 34:00
Oh, this guy's not that bad
- 34:06
Oh, he stunned me
- 34:08
Oh no
- 34:10
What was this?
- 34:12
Let's go too soon
- 34:14
Get out of here
- 34:16
Alright, we got more company
- 34:18
They're lagging behind a little bit
- 34:20
Cannot challenge me
- 34:22
Challenge me
- 34:24
Walk in the light
- 34:32
Okay, they're challenging me slightly
- 34:34
There we go
- 34:38
We did it
- 34:40
We've done it
- 34:42
So the active block actually works with any weapon equipped
- 34:46
Is that correct?
- 34:48
Is that what you arranged?
- 34:54
Oops
- 34:56
Tried to do that
- 34:58
Oh yeah
- 35:00
You get active block
- 35:02
One thing that we're kind of toying around with the idea of
- 35:04
Is giving everybody a universal active block mechanic
- 35:08
In which case
- 35:10
The shield version would probably be better
- 35:12
But you'd still be able to parry
- 35:14
Or whatnot
- 35:16
With a two-handed weapon or even maybe dual wield
- 35:20
Oh, that's pretty cool
- 35:22
We need to find this Sendahl
- 35:26
It's supposed to be kind of up near
- 35:34
Wait, maybe we need to go back a little bit
- 35:36
We gotta respawn
- 35:38
No, respawn?
- 35:40
Hold on, let's go over this way
- 35:42
I remember
- 35:44
I was told
- 35:48
That it was before this bridge
- 35:50
Oh no
- 35:52
Okay, let's just run through if we can
- 35:54
I want to try to find the Sendahl
- 35:56
Just keep on moving
- 36:00
Oh, don't die
- 36:02
Okay
- 36:04
Hold on
- 36:08
We're good
- 36:10
Are you surviving?
- 36:12
I think so
- 36:14
I mean, we'll be fine except for the wolves
- 36:16
I set my speed a little bit higher
- 36:20
Cheater
- 36:22
Oh no
- 36:24
What's happening?
- 36:26
It's definitely a cleric buff, right?
- 36:28
Yes, exactly
- 36:30
Provided by the range
- 36:32
See that?
- 36:34
Alright, I like my sleep
- 36:36
We can take these guys
- 36:38
Zombies are way behind
- 36:40
Alright, I'm ready
- 36:44
Easy peasy
- 36:50
Oh my god
- 36:52
They're never ending
- 36:54
Keep running
- 36:56
I think
- 36:58
Hold on, we gotta go up here
- 37:00
Up these stairs?
- 37:02
Yeah, up these stairs
- 37:04
Okay
- 37:06
Oh, good, we're up here
- 37:10
Hold on
- 37:12
I might need some help up here though
- 37:16
Let me see
- 37:18
Sorry guys
- 37:20
I just want to make sure we can find
- 37:22
the
- 37:24
the Sendahl
- 37:26
Maybe he meant
- 37:28
before the bridge
- 37:30
Like, before the bridge into the cemetery
- 37:32
Maybe
- 37:34
Oh, I made it on top of the
- 37:36
the light post actually
- 37:40
Oh yeah, there we go
- 37:42
Now this is tranquil
- 37:44
Like a true cleric
- 37:46
Don't die, I'm not with you guys by the way
- 37:48
Wait, nope
- 37:50
I don't even know where you went
- 37:52
We lost our healer, we're screwed
- 37:54
No, no, we're good
- 37:56
You guys just come out the front
- 37:58
Oh, I see you down there
- 38:00
Unless I find the Sendahl
- 38:02
Jump down, demon
- 38:04
Oh god, he's getting swarmed
- 38:06
Yeah, I'm definitely getting swarmed
- 38:08
Oh jeez
- 38:10
I'll save you
- 38:14
Here
- 38:16
It's the least I can do
- 38:18
Aw, shoot, I'm doomed
- 38:20
And the zombies are coming
- 38:22
Oh no, no, keep going
- 38:24
Wait
- 38:26
It was definitely at the entrance
- 38:28
I'm so sorry for this, I'm so sorry stream
- 38:30
I'm so sorry
- 38:32
I can't not show the
- 38:34
Sendahl
- 38:38
Totally messed up, now you know
- 38:40
we don't cut these or edit them
- 38:42
they're just
- 38:44
They are what they are
- 38:46
This is such a typical
- 38:48
MMO adventure
- 38:50
Just like, getting lost in a dungeon
- 38:52
area, healer body pools
- 38:54
Alright
- 38:56
There we go, we're good, I think so
- 38:58
Oh, okay, we made it out here
- 39:00
I can see the stars again
- 39:02
So you actually, you guys can see that
- 39:04
there are certain environments that
- 39:06
will just prevent you from being able
- 39:08
to look up
- 39:10
into the sky for some of these constellations
- 39:12
Alright, now we're looking
- 39:14
towards, oh wait
- 39:16
we're supposed to look towards that moon
- 39:18
Oh, I found it
- 39:20
We found the Sendahl
- 39:22
There it is
- 39:24
Yes
- 39:26
Are you dying? Don't die
- 39:28
And there is
- 39:30
the Sendahl, ladies and gentlemen
- 39:32
Well, I hope that you all
- 39:34
have enjoyed this sneak peak
- 39:36
at one of the areas
- 39:38
in the Riverlands
- 39:40
and also some of the updates to the
- 39:42
Yeah, let's take a seat, let's take a seat
- 39:44
and also some of the updates
- 39:46
to the cleric
- 39:48
as well as, you can see there's some UI here
- 39:50
between the icons and the mini map
- 39:52
as well as the targeting and
- 39:54
party UI
- 39:56
that we'd love your guys' feedback on
- 39:58
You also got
- 40:00
to hear a little bit about
- 40:02
the night and day cycle
- 40:04
see some of the updates to the mace and
- 40:06
shield as well as the staff
- 40:08
and also learn a little bit more about
- 40:10
undead and the energy types that occur
- 40:12
and synergies especially
- 40:14
between certain types of status conditions and effects
- 40:16
that might
- 40:18
exist in Ashes of Creations
- 40:20
With all that being said
- 40:22
I'd love to hear your guys'
- 40:24
feedback on
- 40:26
what you saw today. Make sure you guys go
