Forthcoming Forgotten Gods expac - what we know so far Part I

So Crucible is not enough to you? :furious:

Finally, after 2 years,

On the topic of classes I am up for none or one.

What that one class should be that I have no clue about.

It would be one at most cause it’s smaller than AoM

Needs more waves that aren’t reasonable at all.

Maybe in 2.0.4.0 :cool:

As long as it…Makes (Pure) Melee Great Again!
No fancy witchcraft, just pure unfiltered physical violence.
That halfnaked scimitarquy sort of implies something dervish.
Though if we get new number one the loser just drop down one more spot.

Whatever it is, it needs pocket sand.

ty everyone for sharing the content of the stream for those who missed it !

i really hope monday’s GDM willl be about the new game mode cause it’s the most intriguing thing i heard about for now and the more Zantai tells about the more confused i become :rolleyes:

but it does seem huge and gamechanging :cool:

I wish they take some support for Valdun Ranged builds too. I mean, the class is incredibly starved on skill points, if you are not using Silverbolt.

Right, pulled most of Zantai’s comments from a replay of the stream. Make of them what you will. Y’all usually do that anyway. :wink:

[spoiler]Zantai_GD
:I might stream the next one

Zantai_GD
:the new game mode is pretty neat…it does things people didn’t think this engine could do

Zantai_GD
: omg console release around the corner?!

Zantai_GD
:the new gameplay mode shattered a lot of stuff

Zantai_GD
:you will need AoM to play FG

Zantai_GD
:grava big tease, there are things I’d like to investigate regarding the current 3 difficulty setup, but until I have a programmer return to me with the words “it’s in”, I’m not ready to discuss

Zantai_GD
:we’re not adding any auto-pick up

Zantai_GD
:so um, that was the Randomized Load Screen feature

Zantai_GD
:except he didn’t build the alternate load screens

Zantai_GD
:the game’s performance is not likely to improve much more, we squeezed a lot out of this engine

Zantai_GD
:the game is heavy on one core, so the higher clock speed your CPU has, the better it will run for you

Zantai_GD
:no, console will not have crossplay

Zantai_GD
:you already saw the new load screen, it was part of the announcement

Zantai_GD
:medierra will announce news about our other project when he’s ready to talk about it

Zantai_GD
:1.0.6.0, maybe late april/early may

Zantai_GD
: other project has been playable for a long time

Zantai_GD
:it’s still not feature complete though

Zantai_GD
:I’d like to add a search filter to the crafting UI…will see if we can fit it…schedule wise and UI wise, haha

Zantai_GD
:constellations search filter is more complicated…still in the “we’re seeing how insane this would be” stage

Zantai_GD
:the new chapter is almost entirely devoid of aetherials/chthonians

Zantai_GD
:it’s not where the focus of the plot is

Zantai_GD
:Forgotten Gods is adding 9 new constellations and 5 new celestial powers

Zantai_GD
:well, I mean…the lava is just gonna HAVE to kill you instantly, amirite?

Zantai_GD
:hirelings was a feature I wrote a doc for once, but ultimately we decided against it

Zantai_GD
:there were all sorts of complications with adding hirelings

Zantai_GD
:we’re not adding mercs, no

Zantai_GD
:are korvaak and empyrion the same entity? depends who you ask…

Zantai_GD
:we’re not adding any more skeleton key dungeons any time soon…a new feature in FG will make the existing once more interesting…and the new game mode fulfills a similar need

Zantai_GD
:there will be new shrines of course

Zantai_GD
:no dragons, that is a command from my master

Zantai_GD
:we’re not increasing the devotion cap!

Zantai_GD
:there will be 4 new factions

Zantai_GD
:you will be allying yourself with the 3 cults of the Witch Gods

Zantai_GD
:well, you will select one, getting a few unique quests

Zantai_GD
:but selecting one does not make you enemies with the other 3

Zantai_GD
:yes, one new hostile faction

Zantai_GD
:1.0.6.0 is adding sets and a couple new Mis

Zantai_GD
:no single legendaries

Zantai_GD
:medierra didn’t want a nemesis, he made loxmere and the mad queen on his own

Zantai_GD
:more conversion items is a given of course

Zantai_GD
:there will be more heroes in the expac, so of course you can expect old archetypes to return

Zantai_GD
:we don’t plan on “tying up” the story

Zantai_GD
:we’re not adding new weapon types

Zantai_GD
:new summons of course

Zantai_GD
:yes, we’ll do a sandclaw summon

Zantai_GD
:seems like everybody wants one

Zantai_GD
:yes, there will be new relics

Mininja10x
:Can we expect medal augments in FG?
Zantai_GD
:yes…but not the way you think!

wario_wizard_real
:Zantai, I have an important question. Will there be a mythical version of the “eye of dominion”?
Zantai_GD
:no

Zantai_GD
:I don’t think you’ll see krieg in FG, haha

princexavier123
:will we see ulgrim be sucked again in some rift in FG?
Zantai_GD
:haha, that’d be great, but no

Zantai_GD
:I think the witch gods might have some cool new tricks for you

Zantai_GD
:new constellations are more…primordial

Zantai_GD
:the new chapter of the story is independent of the AoM plotline

Zantai_GD
:you will be able to experience it very soon after rolling a character, if you wish

Zantai_GD
:you will earn additional skill/attribute points throughout FG

Zantai_GD
:PTH formula is not changing, it just has a minimum output now

Zantai_GD
: problem with conversion is that there’s so many combinations, the list would either be crazy or we’d need some sort of dynamic list that changes based on what you have

Zantai_GD
:neither ideal options

Zantai_GD
:the pierce resist change, think it was around 8% on ultimate/gladiator

JackdawsInflamedFinger
:@CrateEntertainment Will there be quests where the quest giver accompanies the player through to quest completion?
Zantai_GD
:ugh, no, I hate quests where npcs follow you around
Zantai_GD
: or worse…escorts…

Zantai_GD
:every time we work on a major boss, we try to twist what we have or add something new

Zantai_GD
:like the fires in Gargabol’s area

Zantai_GD
: oh shit, we should have made eldritch hippos

Zantai_GD
:yes FG requires AoM

Zantai_GD
:it does because it adds inquisitor/necro items

princexavier123
:how deep are u in the FG development process?
Zantai_GD
:we’re DEEP
Zantai_GD
:ass deep

Zantai_GD
:FG vs AoM…it’s tough since it also comes with the new game mode, but in terms of the story content, it includes 1 very large new chapter

Zantai_GD
:whereas AoM was 2

Caerbae
:will it be as big of a leap in difficultu as aom is?
Zantai_GD
:I would say it will be on par with AoM

Zantai_GD
:haha, we literally can’t make it as big as AoM or we’re gonna have to cut something…the new game mode will take time too

Zantai_GD
:I mean, in terms of how big the new chapter is…60% of AoM? and then there’s the new game mode…

Zantai_GD
:we’re not ready to reveal the new game mode yet

Zantai_GD
:but I did verify all of its core features recently

Zantai_GD
:so it’s effectively playable now

Zantai_GD
:new game mode is part of the main world, not a separate menu option like crucible

Zantai_GD
:new end boss has been modeled

Zantai_GD
:but it’s still not animated

Zantai_GD
:new boss is rook confirmed

Zantai_GD
:there’s some 2h pierce support on the way[/spoiler]

To combine with mine Helm of the Venerable Warrior. :smiley:

No new weapon types already confirmed.

worst

expansion

ever.

We’ll just have to make do with Gryphons instead. :smiley:

@ medea: suggest you put the quotes from Zantai in post #229 under wrap code so that the post isn’t so big. The info will still be there but the post will be much smaller.

Btw: thanks for taking the time to compile them in the 1st place.

Gutted

Zantai_GD
:we’re not adding any auto-pick up

Cheers for the info both Zantai and Medea for sticking it together

Well, if I knew what wrap code was I might. Suppose I could make the quotes themselves into a spoiler link.

Personally I blame Zantai for giving away so many spoilers in the first place. :wink:

I forgot a small word: “tags”.

It’s the button to the right of the “wrap [quote] tags”: wrap

 tags.

Spoiler will also do, and it will also be smaller still, lol xD

Spoiler didn’t do anything except black it all out, still the same size. I made it with the wrap tag though so is a bit smaller now. Thanks. :slight_smile:
