| 00:00 - 00:05 | We were hustling devs game to ship the new build |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | "Come on, we have to fix the racials" |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | Fourth iteration and players are still mad |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | We have been throwing all these new racial ideas... |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | We forgot to add RP-PVP ruleset for name reservations |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | RP-PVP |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | RP-PVP |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | Nobody could login because one ruleset was missing |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | RP-PVP |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | We only figured RP-PVP is not there when everyone's trying to login |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | All engineers took a day off to reserve names |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | Meanwhile Aggrend is prompting AI to push hotfix |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | "Add RP-PVP ruleset" |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | "You've hit your weekly limit" |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | "Resets in 5 days 11 hours" |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | No names till launch |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | RP-PVP |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | Nobody gave shit about servers |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | Because of taurens with 60% speed plainsrunning |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | even though not a single player asked for it |
| 01:35 - 01:36 | Imagine lvl 1 cows zooming |
| 01:36 - 01:39 | and having to stop to gather herb |
| 01:41 - 01:44 | Seriously now...People paid 80 bucks for names |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | If this won't get fixed |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | I can 100% guarantee that we will |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | not issue any refunds. |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | Launches are always fucked. |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | People are so naive bro |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | Thinking it would go smooth this time is on them |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | RP-PVP |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | The best..The best thing is... |
| 02:11 - 02:13 | The racials are still fucked |
| 02:15 - 02:17 | Devs stayed up three nights straight and |
| 02:17 - 02:20 | Orc got racial that can be used by 2 of 6 classes |
| 02:21 - 02:28 | While humans got +10% on a stat |
| 02:29 - 02:30 | Human spirit? |
| 02:30 - 02:32 | And gnomes are still OP |
| 02:36 - 02:39 | Don't even get me started on skyborne |
| 02:40 - 02:42 | It's players fault anyway |
| 02:50 - 02:55 | They dwelled so much on those racials |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Are those racials gonna be fixed? |
| 02:58 - 03:04 | Nobody has a clue at this point. |
| 03:04 - 03:09 | We'll probably still be changing them during Christmas |
| 03:09 - 03:11 | Ah the fucking racials |
| 03:16 - 03:20 | And we're not fixing dungeon XP by the way |
| 03:23 - 03:26 | We want players to experience the world |
| 03:31 - 03:36 | If they can login to the game that is. |
