same by far my favorite class of most games

I feel u bro , so hyped too for a monk class !!

[@coleywoley2374]

​@coleywoley2374 Basically, the monk will come after the sorceror is released.

[@hexordab5709]

As a Ranger main, I really want to see quiver being added in the game. Can't loot much because you're carrying hundreds of arrows.

[@UFCxAllday]

I miss the old days when you had infinite arrows and just had to reload lol

[@ChitenBugMan]

They've talked about adding those in but we don't have a real timeline I think

[@kiyd1337]

@@ChitenBugManthey promised it last season , still nowhere

[@darkfriday-cu7gm]

As a ranger main, the best way to go about it is to just throw away arrows as you are closer to the end of the adventure. 1 stack of arrows is worth 20g (or less if you did quests) so you can figure out when it's worth throwing to pick up. Consider also that you get 40 free arrows from squire after every escape. But I also have to say... as a recurve ranger I only needed more than 60 a few times (I still take 80 every time with me, just in case)

[@tylerhaar4542]

@@kiyd1337 They added them for a very small time, it broke the inventory system and allowed rogues to pickpocket peoples kits off of them inside the pre-lobby, they said quivers will come when the whole inventory revamp does.

[@zeztox]

What would be cool instead of the lobby where you can inspect people, is if you were to sit at a table like you do in the main menu, only in first person where you can look around at your teammates. maybe even have some fun dice games or some other shit while you wait for a match or for someone to get ready. Even trading gear with each other to ready up for a dungeon trip.

[@tunaa1]

Yes! I want that tavern scene before we go out! Let's get a bard in there to play songs while we size each other up from across a dark bar

Dice game was a thing in pre alpha stages. Got removed because of RMT/gambling licensing issues that would bring in a videogame

Idk if he has an editor but they cut out a lot of downtime in between sentences or thoughts. That condenses it so much more too. You can see this with cuts throughout the video such as 2:32 6:35 and 16:31 to give a few examples.

[@rekrn12345]

This iteration of the game is the best it has ever been. They absolutely should not go back to faster TTK or other changes that existed in the past.

[@Lezzalit]

Yeah overall with the ttk, auction house, squire, everything has culminated to make the game the best it has ever been. Im loving it.

[@skulireaper3726]

It feels a little too slow vs certain classes, but overall u kinda right.

[@krelekari]

Sorc would be cool, but when sorc comes I really hope they add more spells to wizard that arent strictly damage now that they got some game dev practice with other spells and classes. I'd love to see a mirror image spell with a bunch of illusion copies of myself that poof to any damage but might confuse enemies, or some more goofy toolbox spells at least as wizards are known for

[@gustavomarcondes3908]

@@krelekari Wizard are know for their versatility. I still find crazy how a simple spell like Knock hasn’t been introduced yet. “You unlock a chest or door, but it makes an EXTREMELLY Loud noise”. Would even be a natural counter to the “Magic Lock” spell. Minor illusion, you create a small object you can hide inside and even see through, other players will see it as a normal object until they enter contact or damage it. (Basically prop hunt). Locate Object “for 30 seconds, gain XX luck”. (You’d be able to find better loot easier because of the spell) And so much more!

[@jeshegames]

New player, second day I was asking what’s up with the bloody skeletons. Good to know the devs are self-aware

[@Popo-zh9mc]

I think adding additional gear bloat is a slippery slope and something that should be avoided. Adding gems and slots will only create a larger divide between lower gear and higher gear. Its one of those things that sound great on paper but could be terrible unless executed extremely cautiously.

[@MenaceFX]

I know it’s late but I just watched the video lol… but maybe making the gems add a ton of gearscore so that they’re forced to be in the highest gear brackets would be fine I think

[@xXRickTrolledXx]

[@joshkell5663]

I'm loving this game & all the work put into it!

[@DelrenGaming]

What they can do for the quests is once it's been completed on 1 character, lets say you do an entire questline. Then that entire questline is unlocked for all your other characters, you still have to do them, but you can do them all at once and in any order, so you complete the quests much faster rather than crap I need to go kill 20 more goblins instead you're getting that progression on all of those kill quests.

[@BowlingRat]

Typically, in D&D lore, usually, Sorcerors have natural magic ability they were born with. Wizards have to read books and study to cast spells.

[@ZachAlaska907]

[@thecpu3949]

[@kolbeinng7307]

TL:DR instead of skins, make weirder races classes. Dwarf Skin would suck, make dwarf a multi "class" Fighter/Cleric hybrid with a lower movement cap to balance out the stocky size. Basically, make the more drastic races a class and balancing becomes a lot easier. Halfling? Bard/Cleric with slings as their only range weps. Gnomes? Wizard/rogues or something idk. Multiclass enjoyers get a compromise and the more "out there" fantasy races can be added as class kit instead of something that has access to all the classes

[@Farrell_instincts]

Return to monke

[@emptygio]

devs still have no idea what theyre doing, love it

[@Rwnds7967]

Here's one suggestion (and you might already be doing this so apologies if that's the case) With interviews, people tend to ramble a whole lot less if they have thought about the specific topic beforehand, so I would recommend sending your interview questions a few days in advance to give the devs (or anyone else) time to organise their thoughts. It turns their thinking during the interview in to remembering, which is a lot faster.

[@user-hk5lr6gn3m]

they cannot leave druid movement the way it is, after having nerfed a simple double jump on rogue because of how broken it was originally. Currently, if a druid player does not want to fight you and he has decent movement, you will never* catch him.

[@kevinsims4165]

As far as quests go. I think that affinity sharing is amazing. And 90% of what people are after. Just to add an idea. Once a quest has been completed on 1 character. The ability to progress that quest is unlocked on all. This way you still have to visit locations and kill players on each character and we dont have stash tabs full of daggers and bangles. Any thoughts on this?

[@Pneubeteube]

I'm actually the guy that, as far as I can tell, started the "crystal sword recharges spell counts thing" like a month and a half ago I already was pretty blown away that somebody made a big post the other week about crystal sword and really dived into my ideas, so now to know that the devs really liked it is kinda making my week

[@Onepeg]

It was worth me making a note. Thought the idea was pretty dope

[@safeTmeeting]

ive always wanted a pvp skyrim, since it came out. I'm imagining the hand spells to be similar to that. I'm very excited for monk. hope we get key points to spend on sprinting or catching an arrow, that would be SiiiiiiiiiCK

you definitely nailed it with the "wizards went to clown college and can do tricks". sorcerer is a class that shouldn't even need to exist, because wizards should just be cool. instead, they're clowns. Sorcerers will have less tricks, but spells that, you know, actually kill things.

[@SorryIfILaggout]

Maybe instead of Monk, it could be named Pugilist, which would have gauntlets as the only weapon (Like a class restriction) and only Pugilists have these weapons. And maybe their skills could be different combinations of Left click and Right click. Like: clicking twice could be a Heavy Haymaker.

[@warm_egg_salad5953]

Skeletons bleed because blood is made by the marrow inside bones. When you break their bones the blood comes out.

[@chicken5038]

Ive been loving DnD right now got back into it after a few months of playing other games and all the new features are so good. I really hope they just keep expanding on the game as it is already in my eyes one of the best hero shooters. I know that may sound weird but 3v3 team fights remind me so much of like 2017-2018 overwatch and was why I loved overwatch so much. However now its this dark fantasy theme which I just love so much. Super hyped for gem sockets thats one feature I feel would be super interesting to see.

[@Methusalute]

I would consider myself a full dive new player. Found this game awhile but only gave it a try on June 27th. Since then I've dropped about 104 hours into the game. This game is absolutely amazing. There is so much to offer to players as long as they don't give up in the first few runs. Don't be afraid to watch guides. Use the knight system in game to help. This games community is so awesome and I love it. To see that there are big changes like this coming around, I think I might have found my new main game.

[@Hastur_TKY]

I have been following this game for a long time, and the fact that the devs vision is only limited by development time is reassuring and proves that this game will never die. If I understood their vision correctly, it looks like one big hurdle will be the backend side, hopefully they will find a way around that ( I think they want to move slowly to a system where u don't really have a menu, more like your home where ur stash is and than a town with the tavern and different merchants, sounds awesome the sky is the limit with the amount of things they can add).

[@ThatBruh00]

I think it would be sick if they added something like cosmetic lootables. these wouldn't go away at the end of seasons and would be super duper rare. with those, you could place them in your sort of personalized social space and/or tavern lobby as decorations or trophies. An example of this would be turning the ghost king into a bedsheet or a curtain at like a .01% drop chance only found on the high roller boss. that would be a mega flex to own since you would either need an astronomical amount of money to purchase them on the market or the capability of beating the ghost king something like 10k times. this is just an off the cuff idea, but beetle shell lamp shades, skeleton champion skull quill-holders, and a nightmare demon dog collar for your own personalized pet dog (basically give otto skins) would be sick as hell. It also meets the philosophy of the game with looting and mercantilism. just imagine being a newer player, killing frost wyvern for the first time and getting a wyvern leather ottoman skin. it would be rare and cool enough that you could sell it for a skull key at least. you get funds to play the game at a higher level and the person who was already self-sustaining at that level gets something they can keep throughout the entirety of the game since they would be account based cosmetics. high end players who are bored could farm these items instead of slaughtering Timmies for no reason, and low level players who happen across them can make bank or at least feel accomplished by having rare collectables should they use them for themselves. This would also add crazy hype for new maps since it won't just be "oh great, another map with similar enemies. At least the boss is cool." it'll be new crazy skin ideas for the social space, too. This is just a thought right now, but I think it would be super easy to accomplish from a code standpoint, especially since they have account based skins in the game already. I know you sort of have the developers' ears, so if you brought this up to them that would be sick. And as a last note, this is obviously a last priority item since the game balance and development is much more important, but I think it is very doable to shoehorn into any sort of social space system.

[@trik68]

imo the squire affinity is a bandaid fix for the situation. The main reason why I don't wanna play other classes is because I cant progress on my quests unless I play on my main. I think they should work on the affinity first it will at least get half of the solution fixed and then hopefully account progression will be fixed by next wipe.
