Transcripts

So today we're going to quickly check

what Nikita and BSG has been talking

about for the pre-wipe or the for the

next wipe or even for the 1.0 release

what they usually do is that they test

something on pre-wipe event and then

move on to the next wipe mechanic such

as under Barrel grenade launcher was

added after the pre-wipe of players

having a toss rounds of explosive

grenade similar to that very likely

going to have a pre- wi event and going

to have that mechanic in next WI which

is going to be pretty short but anyways

let's check out the full video and let's

quickly and briefly go through the list

of the changes of course it's not final

totally reworked Factory location with

the new graphics with the

new layout even so it will be based on

original Factory but it will be

different yes this

one the silos changed into like actual

compressure things like these ones also

there will be new kind of event called

location to location traveling or

Marathon so event will start at a quest

to travel a list of location in certain

pattern once event is finished the

mechanic will remain in the game so you

will have an option to travel from

locations map to map Trav WIP this one

where you can see in a small letter

thing transfer to streets with 8K

rubbles move items to stash like the BTR

extraction 4.9

you can extract or move to other

place which I guess you can do like

multiple task at once like I don't know

is if there's like a lot of reason to do

this or maybe they're going to drop like

a whole new event for it whole new event

task for it me to go to this this map to

that map to that map to that map and

then you will get like bunch of rewards

at least you can move the items to stash

and then move so special extraction

points the detailed information the

exact game yeah they plan to do an event

and they will put it as a you know

permanent function they said also there

will be mortal strike event events

there's going to be a higher chance for

it if it happen at the start of the

event then it remain as a permanent

mechanic with a certain chance of

occurring as you mentioned that in my

Twitter there was there was a like short

uh development yeah it's this one boom

boom bo boom

bo bo bo b bo bo you can see this is um

Shoreline

the train there's terminal side uh which

is like a

fortress and then also the train this is

like edge up the shoreline

map Railway yeah Railway Bridge so

that's the part where he's talking about

so we will plan to have them as an

option that you can try to avoid off and

also maybe you will be able to use that

for for a particular reason I don't know

we will see trip wires and

landmines mhm you will be able to

install

them by both players and AI trip wire

this one yep you get tripped by this

wire you will be able to trip wire the

containers and the dead bodies too and

there will be new boss called partisan

boss he will be on that feature so he

will booby trap everything and one of

their one of his main reasons to be in

the game he will hunt down bad players

so we will implement the PMC Karma

secretly at the first time by pots and

the gun resting

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

also we will lower uh the progression

rate in PVE a little because again to

prolong the PVE experience Hideout zone

for equipment kits and mannequins

[Music]

which was actually like I was kind of

surprised I found the exact function

talked about in Reddit dude reddited

about that

function a year ago the ability to have

a few manquin and a war gone rack for

easy and fast preload outs I mean it's

like an easy thing to think about or

maybe BSG actually checked this Reddit

and then they were like okay and then

they edited like that maybe who

knows but what I recommend you guys to

do is if you guys have any ideas put it

on Reddit they read edit cuz Nikita's

Like official post about the EOD

situation the unheard Edition situation

was also on Reddit which is like super

weird he didn't post it on Twitter ever

he posted on Twitter about the pl plist

game but cultist Zone functionality will

be explained later cultist hial he was

talking about is this one you sacrifice

of item and then I guess you get a

reward Max items five new guns

M60 and the

M60 they're adding or 762 belt fat

gun pretty

cool U this dessert

eagle and sr3m

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

they will be pretty like this task

actually I waited it for so long we will

re finally fix the clipping of the gear

of like helmets and gear really that's

your top

priority I I didn't really care on your

character cuz like literally it's been

forever in the game and we'll finally

fix

it different quality of light features

like manual input of values in in game

settings grenade selection by pressing G

flashlight and tactical modules

activation upon holding the button and

different kind of stuff which will gives

us more uh optimization of course and

more options

to do stuff new stuff for the for that

systems

okay pretty big list of audio changes

also detailed work on environmental

sounds on locations optimization of the

sound system for for performance

refinement of the occlusion calculation

algorithm adjustments of balance for

active

headsets a serious yeah I think we

watched it enough um let's let's talk

about like his wiip things after that

this is not it they're doing burning

merops in Arena which might end up in

tarov and this was whenever they were

featuring The Factory new map for the

guys to try out in

twitchcon the sacrificial thing we

covered that factory we cover that this

is it's very likely W expansion

now or the ru train station was ah the

ruins train station is that actually

ruin train station house it looks like

it it was completely ruined and then

there was no train and they added the

train ah that does make S sense and kind

of looks like um yeah it might be woods

and another variable jom WIP

they're

preparing which I guess is going to be

good but at the same time it might cause

a lot of performance

drop could be Lighthouse Lighthouse is

too such a new map to be renewed I think

yeah we already got this the add to

favor thing and then we got the

simplified armor hit Jones they change

the fog which is already in the game

some people are saying is the fog is

still in the game but it's like a

weather condition sometimes they are

some sometimes they're not so yeah this

is supposed to be mechanic's place you

can kind of see from his background of

his profile picture should I see I was

kind of confused because proper is

coming out as 3D model which I will show

you guys right here

[Music]

that was the 1.0 release or rather they

change their name to Edge of Darkness

for some reason anyways guys I hope this

covers what kind of event we will be

encountering again on pre-wipe what kind

of content we will get on the next W

which will be August very likely second

week because we still don't have

pre-wipe events a complete one I will

check after like 12 hours they will be

ending the most recent event they're

doing which only lasted for 3 Days
