Hello everyone and welcome to another live stream from the world of Vera and we have
- 00:28
an exciting stream for you today. We are going to be talking about the caravan system in Ashes of
- 00:36
Creation and it has been a little while since you guys have been able to see a caravan, actually I
- 00:44
believe since Alpha 1, but there has been a lot of work that has been put into caravans since then
- 00:50
and I would like to introduce some of our absolute stellar developers who helped bring the new
- 00:59
caravan system for Alpha 2 to life. They are one of our regulars, senior designer Mr. Chris Justo.
- 01:08
Chris how you doing buddy? Oh I'm doing wonderfully, how are you doing Steven? I am doing
- 01:14
swell. It is Monday, the day before Halloween, we've got Extra Life coming up in just five days
- 01:25
where we're gonna be up straight for 24 hours or actually a lot more than 24 hours that's gonna be
- 01:30
crazy but I am doing swell. Sorry that's a long-winded answer. I love it. We also have another
- 01:38
regular on the stream, the man between two ferns being combat design and systems design, our glorious
- 01:48
designer Dr. Bucky. Bucky how are you doing sir? Hello I'm doing well, ready to move some cargo.
- 01:55
Oh some cargo, cargo actually this is the first time I think the community has heard it referred
- 02:03
to as cargo but cargo is the official name of supplies that are transited by caravans.
- 02:13
And ships. And ships that's right yes very nice. Well happy to have you Bucky. We also have joining
- 02:20
us the stellar extraordinary environment artist Hal who built all things caravans in this live
- 02:32
stream. Hal how are you doing? Oh I'm doing good yeah I had a lot of help from a lot of different
- 02:37
disciplines but it's not just me I promise. That is true, Hal's being very modest but obviously
- 02:46
bringing together a system like this requires a lot of effort from a lot of people but Hal
- 02:52
specifically modeled I thought what is a glorious Kalar caravan, the default Kalar caravan which
- 02:58
players are about to see in a little bit so awesome job there Hal happy to have you here.
- 03:02
Aw happy to be here. And then we have joining us an unfamiliar role on our live streams but a role
- 03:10
nonetheless an integral one of keeping all the pieces moving in a non-chaotic and somewhat
- 03:17
somewhat orderly fashion one of our glorious producers Mr. Nathan Moore. Nathan how you
- 03:23
doing buddy? Oh I'm so excited excited to go drifting around some corners drop off some goods
- 03:30
make a ton of money it's gonna be a good day in Vera. Yes it is gonna be a good day in Vera indeed.
- 03:36
Now speaking of a good day we are in a default building for nodes is that correct Chris?
- 03:45
This is a default building in the node meaning it comes with the node when it reaches level three.
- 03:54
Very cool okay so this is the hunting lodge or the hunter's lodge and I see that there is a
- 04:02
particular vendor of note in this fine abode a commodity vendor tell me what exactly the commodity
- 04:12
vendor does. Well he does kind of what his name says he sells commodities which as alluded to
- 04:18
previously is a form of cargo that is transited by caravans but before we talk to him I'd like
- 04:25
you to open up your inventory and we can talk a little bit about what you're gonna spend to get
- 04:31
that cargo. I'm assuming I need to be on my materials page because the inventory even though
- 04:39
I have a thousand gold might not really help me here. No your gold will not help you so if it
- 04:45
looks like you're hovering over an item we call glint comes in a few different rarities it was
- 04:52
formally known as the monster certificates but we have rebranded them. All right now that is a
- 05:01
reveal so those of you in the audience who remembers what monster certificates were
- 05:06
glint is now the name of the monster certificate system and glint serves a very integral role in
- 05:15
the economy within Ashes of Creation. It is a material substance that is acquired through
- 05:22
various means but primarily hunting different antagonists within the world and it is the
- 05:30
it is the physical form of essence within the beasts of Vera. So when you acquire this it is
- 05:40
bound to your character and that is a very important component of the economic systems
- 05:45
here because glint will be used to pay for certain services such as taxation for buildings that you
- 05:53
have or citizenship dues that are necessary but within the context of today's demonstration
- 06:02
we'll be talking about glint as a currency to acquire commodities and Bucky talk to me a little
- 06:10
bit about the importance of commodities. Yeah so commodities player commodities specifically is one
- 06:17
of the main ways players can make money are gold in Vera and different nodes will sell different
- 06:22
commodities at different prices so the way you make money is by you can either you know sell
- 06:28
your glint directly to the commodity vendor and just make some quick money at the node or the
- 06:34
most profitable way to do it is to buy some player commodities and then transit them to other nodes
- 06:40
where they're going to be sold for higher prices at the side effect is that you have increased risk
- 06:46
into Excel. Very cool so glint allows us direct access to acquire these commodities that service
- 06:57
the risk versus reward philosophy of transiting goods around the world because the caravan system
- 07:07
which carries and I'm gonna go to the cargo section these commodities available at this
- 07:13
particular node let's see if I can purchase this okay I see it cost a rather good amount of glint
- 07:20
on that one and grab some of the ever burned scented a case of Kalar wooden soldiers those
- 07:29
are toys I assume that's cool and some aged ale and whiskey barrel are these like GI Joe's like
- 07:36
Kalar versions of the GI Joe's they are in fact that is super cool okay so I have acquired a
- 07:45
number of these commodities that are unique to this particular biome and or node and now I have
- 07:54
an option Chris I can either sell the commodities back to a vendor in exchange for gold or I can
- 08:03
load them up and take them elsewhere why would I want to do that yeah so you as you mentioned you
- 08:09
can sell it back for around the cost you bought them for in terms of the glint to gold conversion
- 08:15
but you would be putting them in a caravan and taking them to another node because that will
- 08:23
increase the value based on the node you take it to how far away that node is and how many of that
- 08:30
commodity has been sold at that node over the last seven days got it now what types of exchange are
- 08:39
possible ratio wise for taking this amount of cargo right now I can get 150 it looks like gold
- 08:49
and 50 silver on this salt cured meat shipment what type of multiple can I get if I take it to
- 08:56
another node also again that's going to vary based on turn in rates at that node but we're probably
- 09:04
looking at the node we're taking it to being around eight gold for that wow that's huge and
- 09:11
that node is only actually the closest one to here is that right now that is that is correct now
- 09:21
typically at launch we're obviously gonna have to balance these numbers a lot more as the world
- 09:26
keeps getting bigger yes well actually thank you Chris thank you for that cue because as we have
- 09:33
said many times before and you shall hear now once again the most important disclaimer you will hear
- 09:40
in this live stream is that everything you see today is a work in progress towards our alpha 2
- 09:46
testing environment which means that the art gets better particularly as it relates to our UI
- 09:53
and our visual effects so keep everything you're seeing with a grain of salt since this is the
- 10:00
first time you've seen Ashes of Creation and heard that particular disclaimer you can take a look at
- 10:07
streams from many many ages ago and see the difference between today and then all right so
- 10:13
I have arrived at a building that you guys did see during our nodes demonstration this is the
- 10:21
caravansary which is also a default building in addition to the hunting lodge is that correct
- 10:27
Chris it is in fact and this is where you're gonna do all your caravaning exciting exciting okay now
- 10:34
I don't have a caravan obviously because I mean I'm just a lowly ranger out in the
- 10:42
wilds trying to find my way in life well this gentleman the caravan master can help you acquire
- 10:49
one the caravan master all right I see okay all right he has some thing here I see my storage
- 10:59
I'm gonna my materials section I have some cargo available but I do not see it says no caravans
- 11:07
currently available for me that's sad yep so at the top left there you're gonna be able to purchase
- 11:14
a caravan okay so here I see it says purchase and I'm assuming this means that I can not only
- 11:21
purchase the caravan but also the stall within which the caravan resides yep so purchasing a
- 11:28
caravan will unlock that stall as well and put a default caravan in it all right let me go ahead
- 11:35
and make a purchase here ah we have our caravan it looks like with a number of considerable and
- 11:43
formidable stats I might add uh available to it but these stats could be improved could they not
- 11:50
bucky yeah so caravans have these items within them called components and those kind of act like
- 11:57
the gear on the caravan so they can modify their stats uh grant them passive and even active
- 12:03
abilities so you can if you upgrade your components you can get power powerful caravans I see and
- 12:08
just looking at this basic caravan it only has a capacity for one by two cargo that's relatively
- 12:16
unfortunate because that doesn't seem like a lot for my time but I assume if I were to perhaps
- 12:24
equip this carriage in its place nope that didn't do anything let's try the reinforced chassis
- 12:34
let's take a look at that buddy oh yeah oh my goodness this thing can now take quite a haul
- 12:42
but that's not all I'm gonna add the wheel set the uh beast of burden and the plated armor all of
- 12:49
which I assume are doing some amazing things down here in the caravan stat section yeah the beast
- 12:54
of burden primarily affects speed uh armor will make you more survivable and shoot you to counter
- 13:00
combat and then yeah like you were looking at just now the uh chassis and body kind of provides some
- 13:05
of the core stats like the health and also the storage capacity for the caravan very cool that's
- 13:11
awesome um I'm gonna take two salt cured meats because I assume that we're gonna be successful
- 13:22
we will deliver okay very good we're powerful we are very powerful all right let me go ahead now do
- 13:30
I click launch Chris correct you're gonna hit launch and you're gonna get uh an item in your
- 13:35
inventory once you click launch oh yeah I'll launch a caravan too with you guys oh okay very cool
- 13:43
very cool you got a busted caravan or you got a good one it's uh you know it's pretty standard but
- 13:48
you know it'll get me there oh okay very nice all right uh I see that I have a caravan event
- 13:54
oh it's telling me to find a location to summon the caravan so this caravan event starts even
- 14:00
prior to me finding the location for my caravan because because you gotta organize your event you
- 14:09
know and you also want to find a safe spot to launch your caravan very cool all right now we can
- 14:19
go out here in the world I assume within some level of proximity proximity to the node okay I
- 14:25
see that you can see the radius by the uh in-game radius okay very cool that's cool
- 14:32
got a little slate wolf over here let's take care of him first
- 14:42
all right poor guy I am going to go ahead and I assume Chris I'm going to open my inventory
- 14:51
yep so you're going to have a little caravan item and when you right click it you're going to be
- 14:58
in deployable mode for you to be able to place that uh your it's a representation that you're
- 15:06
summoning the caravan so that people around you know that you are launching a caravan
- 15:12
very cool all right so then it's important for me to find a place that's relatively obscure
- 15:18
so as not to attract any unwanting eyes yeah it's part of us to get away from the note a little bit
- 15:23
case any other players would have seen our expedition yes good call good call well then
- 15:31
all right you're summoning yours too over here how come your caravan isn't like
- 15:36
I mean it looks like it's on par with mine yes it could be but it might not be
- 15:42
it could be but it might not be it might be the default caravan bucky if you just needed
- 15:48
some components I could have given them to you no this one's gonna work good I believe in it
- 15:54
it's like he's a pro gamer bucky are you a pro gamer yes I in fact am a pro gamer very nice
- 16:02
so this is taking a good amount of time it's only mine's only about 50 completed right now this this
- 16:10
takes by default about two minutes the amount of time it takes can be augmented by how players
- 16:16
choose to upgrade the caravansary but this is taking an amount of time so that people can
- 16:24
start to scout for caravans that might be popping up very nice now another very important aspect of
- 16:30
that time that it's taking is that the time is relative to the distance that the summoning is
- 16:37
occurring even out in the world let's say you find some some loot that is in the form of cargo and
- 16:44
you want to haul that back somewhere you can use an action to summon your caravan from the closest
- 16:52
node to that location and you will spawn this similar summoning function and the time to travel
- 16:58
to you will be predicated on the distance to the node the components of the caravan and any other
- 17:03
potential benefits or buffs that are denoted by special building construction relics or policies
- 17:10
is that correct exactly and it's also worth keeping in mind you can only summon out in the
- 17:15
wild if it's an empty caravan very nice yes look at mine and look at yours bucky
- 17:25
it's the same caravan they both look great show us the difference between these two pictures
- 17:31
they're the same picture oh my gosh how this is a great looking caravan oh it looks amazing
- 17:40
mine's like a tank and this is the default kaylar caravan is that correct
- 17:45
oh no i believe this is the tier two or a tier five i think actually for these yes yes so i have
- 17:50
the upgraded components of it um and there are obviously a different number of skins you can
- 17:57
acquire in the game and um uh and or cosmetics that have been purchased that will be different
- 18:03
looking caravans but if you don't have skins applied this is the version of tier one and
- 18:08
tier two that you will see in the game by default that looks that that looks great i mean this is
- 18:14
this is amazing talk to me how a little bit about what it took to construct these caravans to build
- 18:20
them i mean this is a highly componentized system yeah yeah that is correct so you actually have a
- 18:27
couple different components like you saw in the caravan screen before and each of those are things
- 18:33
that can visually be upgraded kind of as like as their own thing so it would be possible to have
- 18:38
like only nicer wheels or like only a nice casting and that's going to be visually represented so
- 18:44
players can kind of like see what potential buffs you might have for example you can see stevens has
- 18:50
all that tank looking armor that's going to be able to kind of let people just like looking
- 18:56
from the outside maybe attackers not that we support stealing caravans but no if i didn't
- 19:02
want to do that you know i could see that maybe i would want to go for steven's caravan yes that's
- 19:09
right i want everyone maybe i would go for not steven's caravan yeah every caravan now in ashes
- 19:20
is going to be named not steven's caravan oh no well then they would go after not steven's caravan
- 19:27
so you don't want to name it don't do that oh man i should have got the two horses
- 19:34
the ashen dude i'm going so slow literally half the horsepower
- 19:42
you do have half the horsepower why are you moving so slowly back there
- 19:47
well my beast of burden isn't as upgraded as first so i don't have as high of a boost
- 19:51
status you do once we get to this road though we're gonna we're just gonna get a road buff
- 19:58
which will boost both speeds ah very cool okay so so being on a road versus off-road
- 20:04
is more beneficial because of that buff but in addition the components that we are using
- 20:11
um are not necessarily made for offering yeah so some of the dark yeah exactly so there'll be
- 20:17
different variants of each of the components with the wheels for example would have variants that
- 20:21
will excel perhaps at off-road over on-road and vice versa and so right now we have caravans that
- 20:28
are set up more for the on-road um portion but you do we will travel faster over roads but
- 20:34
that obviously comes with the increased risk of running into other players or monsters that are
- 20:37
blocking the oh wow i see i have that i have the road buff now where are you bucking i'm almost on
- 20:44
the road should i wait for you uh yes this is a this is a caravan of caravans right we're a team
- 20:53
here oh okay caravan of caravans i like that all right here we go we know you know there we go i
- 21:02
see the importance i mean this the caravan system is is somewhat treacherous i mean you should be
- 21:08
you should uh take caution with this i mean i feel very susceptible yeah well we got our
- 21:15
group of defenders with us at least we're not running completely solo that's true yeah it's
- 21:20
definitely something and this goes for a lot of the node features right where we're trying to
- 21:25
create these ways for you know people who maybe are used to sort of a more solo mmo like a gameplay
- 21:31
experience to have easy ways to take that first step into like collaborating or competing with
- 21:36
each other so that's really one of the things that we spend a lot of time talking about for this
- 21:41
system absolutely and perhaps i assume um bucky or chris that in regards to the design of the
- 21:50
component system if i am utilizing components that might give my caravan a significantly higher stat
- 21:58
of speed it's unlikely that i would also at the same time be able to select components that were
- 22:04
to give an equitable amount of benefit in the stat of let's say cargo or health it's going to
- 22:11
be a trade-off in that sense yeah that's exactly right like so you'll be able to have caravans of
- 22:15
different customizations but there won't be one caravan does everything the best you'll have to
- 22:19
make sacrifices depending on what you want to use your caravan for if you want to have an off-road
- 22:23
caravan a really fast on-road caravan or just a slow tanky caravan that can hold a lot of stuff
- 22:28
there'll be other options players can can choose to uh outfit their caravans with very cool
- 22:36
already i can see the obvious benefit and choices that certain players will have i mean if as
- 22:43
nathan was saying if you're the most more solo oriented player you might just want to have the
- 22:48
fastest possible caravan around because one you're not worrying about people to stick you know close
- 22:53
to you but also if you do come under attack your chances of succeeding at a fight are far less than
- 23:00
getting away by speed yeah that's that's true or i could also see a variant though where you want
- 23:06
to just you know go off-road guys why is tubach here uh is he just on his path i think he's just
- 23:16
i think he's just on his path uh you're gonna want to turn around we cannot take that oh i
- 23:21
wonder if he'll turn around if he detects us i think he probably would okay stay back here yeah
- 23:30
yeah this path is not uh not for us we go ahead give us a turnaround and i'll show you my secret
- 23:36
little off-road path all righty okay all right let's just turn around here apology holds them off
- 23:47
uh this is what we're lucky for i'm on over this way no i do i stopped so quick when you guys said
- 23:53
that i was like hiding in the rocks already back here that would have turned out to be a very bad
- 23:58
stream all right come on through okay this is like a super peaceful pathway right like oh it's
- 24:10
super peaceful okay barely even dangerous just as like i know a way guys don't worry
- 24:20
oh god spiders i'm just assuming you guys will take care of that yeah you know that's that's
- 24:26
their job as the defenders we just got to keep rolling better be careful not to aggro any stephen
- 24:32
no i am trying not to i don't really see any up here
- 24:38
nothing too crazy up here yeah but this is one of the this is one of the dangers is
- 24:45
you may never know what's on the road the road has a buff that's great but it also has a little
- 24:51
bit more visibility and that can be a problem and so off-roading is a necessary component
- 24:58
of the caravan system and traveling in general and because of that there will be components
- 25:03
that make traveling off-road a bit easier perhaps yeah certainly
- 25:09
okay i'm trying to get back to the yeah it's definitely slower i'm rolling we're still rolling
- 25:22
should have gone for the off-road real wheels maybe did we get lost is it like a path up here
- 25:28
back to the road yeah no no you're good you're good you're going the right way
- 25:31
let's follow the spiders oh yeah oh god um i'm taking it's starting to take a little bit of
- 25:38
damage here hey stephen we might need a heal and i remember you booking some kind of healing item
- 25:45
yes okay all right they're eating the horses they're definitely
- 25:51
where's the tank when you need one i just activated the healing thing wow that's
- 25:56
actually pretty good those are good heals yeah that's a strong hot right there wow
- 26:01
it's perfectly balanced your final pass i think we could have definitely taken too much
- 26:09
i don't know about that spiders versus giant 10 hours later
- 26:18
uh-oh
- 26:19
that would that did not work out oh no you can't you can't drive off cliffs stephen yeah i thought
- 26:29
these were those kinds of horses with the cliff jumper horses yeah we need them
- 26:37
you actually have to unlock a different service building to get recruitment of those
- 26:41
jumping horses so can i get spider horses just different kinds of man i don't know let's even
- 26:48
come down this way i know this this looks fine this uh yeah you'll make it you'll make it
- 26:55
these horses are that fragile
- 26:59
we've made it back to the watch tumach just comes out of nowhere yeah just like i found you
- 27:05
i've been waiting for you how you doing back there bucky um oh yeah oh yeah yeah i mean i've
- 27:15
i've just been defending him the whole time uh-huh thank you guys yeah yeah you're welcome we do it
- 27:20
for you oh i see we've come across a little river up here that looks like we'll have to make a
- 27:27
crossing oh this is a great little image i'm digging this hold on let me turn off the uh
- 27:36
hold on can you catch me uh on my album cover looking away from the camera
- 27:41
whoa no i can't where are you hold on we gotta get the good album cover photo where we're all
- 27:46
looking away just looking off into like desperation another day in vera
- 27:53
another day in vera that's my chance they're distracted i can pass them no even
- 28:03
oh no now with that little hoopty oh yeah my money's on steven here okay so now
- 28:11
uh we were intending to show this update with this update the transition from land to river
- 28:18
with the raft system caravans when they intersect with a river they uh go into a construction stage
- 28:26
why don't you talk to me a little bit about that uh how and chris yeah so um the primary there's
- 28:35
like two kind of methods crossing rivers right one of them is with bridges which are constructed by
- 28:40
mayors and players but the other method is via a transformation into a raft now it will push you
- 28:50
at a little bit of a um they'll make you a little bit of a sitting duck while you're transitioning
- 28:55
once you're in the water you'll get kind of a nice speed boost from the currents and it's a
- 29:01
alternate means to getting stuck on the choke points that are bridges
- 29:05
very cool yep that will be an update coming shortly is uh we were having some bugs i'm
- 29:14
really stoked for you guys to see it though it's already looking really cool and i'm so hyped about
- 29:19
it oh how how has been integral in creating the assets for showcasing what that transition looks
- 29:28
and feels like and helping to demonstrate the construction process of the raft it is super cool
- 29:35
to see even how how you've incorporated the more componentized system of creating this caravan as a
- 29:41
whole into being able to adapt uh for that construction scene um all the pieces that are
- 29:48
relevant on different skins and cosmetics for the caravan as well yeah it's been really fun kind of
- 29:54
figuring out how we're gonna like like show certain things make everything work together like
- 29:59
balance all the pieces but it's yeah it's been a fun time and i think kind of visually showing
- 30:05
things like for example like the cargo um to kind of like which can we're still kind of working with
- 30:11
techart to get this fully up and running but you are eventually going to be able to get a good
- 30:15
visual view of like how much cargo someone's going to be holding and you know the possible rewards
- 30:19
you're going to be able to get too so it's yeah it's it's been a really fun time yeah it's been
- 30:25
it's been super cool to watch this this bridge by the way is a little a bit slower than the road
- 30:31
um you're not getting a road buff on this bridge steven
- 30:36
oh that's so sad so bridges bridges can be upgraded you know and that will let them provide
- 30:43
you more speed i should be getting the uh uh road the bridge buff bridge buff should be just
- 30:52
super powerful you tokyo drift off a bridge yes exactly they did that a few times in uh
- 31:04
there are lots of movies that have drifting i know no there's only one there's only one
- 31:10
it's the polar express isn't it no it has like been diesel on them um fast and the furious yes
- 31:20
fast and the furious you know that one fast and the furious movie that one out of 30 fast and furious
- 31:29
we should get some fast and furious versions of the caravan
- 31:32
the more you say it the more you will it into existence justo has like his finger on the trigger
- 31:38
to just make like t7 caravan components you can't carry any cargo you just max speed and you get a
- 31:45
drifting ability that's it that's all he wants in life oh my god that'd be so good that would be so
- 31:52
great i'm loving i'm getting like the cinematic shots right now yeah the environment team has done
- 32:03
such an amazing job about bringing vera to life and that's another cool thing about us being able
- 32:08
to show off this live stream which we kind of kept a lot of the uh exploration of vera uh under wraps
- 32:14
because we want to you know make sure that people get that first glimpse of it when they're in the
- 32:19
servers go online for a2 but we can show off some of that stuff here super oh my god there's a bear
- 32:25
oh oh no danger bear you know somebody oh no oh we just entered a super moody part of the forest
- 32:38
okay there's a bear that way i'm gonna go this way i'm gonna go left opposite the direction of
- 32:43
the bears yes yes i'm gonna go oh there's little rabbits over there too oh no okay
- 32:53
just got off the bridge oh oh whoops my bad i just called it out you know for the team
- 32:59
we're just gonna wait here and admire the the beautiful scene which by the way
- 33:05
zachery and um hans did a phenomenal job with looks so good yeah it's looking really cool i
- 33:12
like this next area coming up too we're almost on our way to mere left here oh mirror like he's like
- 33:19
i really like this next area he's talking about the second bridge still yeah the river is getting
- 33:24
the river yet oh no there's a bridge there you need to be careful there were some trolls nearby
- 33:32
ah you made it welcome back bucky i really should have just given you some components to put on
- 33:39
your car really just the horse the extra horse could have probably helped a lot you know yeah
- 33:43
or just the horse yeah it's too bad we can't have like a pit stop and put on another horse for you
- 33:52
just spawn it into existence it would be cool although once the caravans are parked you are
- 33:56
able to upgrade the components every time every time you park the caravan in the stall at any node
- 34:03
you can adjust oh whoa whoa oh what's up ahead there's a giant fallen tree oh i don't think i
- 34:15
can chop through this one guys no let's let's uh maybe we go off road a little bit here
- 34:22
so juiced i could be wrong but this looks like one of our environmental hazards at work yeah
- 34:28
oh juiced are you needed how about now there you go there we go i made it uh yeah so something um
- 34:38
that can happen to caravans while they're traveling along roads or out in the world is um
- 34:43
there are events kind of waiting for caravans and uh you know i think that's a good thing
- 34:48
events kind of waiting for caravans yes i can chop them well first i gotta i have to do a little
- 34:57
cheating first but yes i can do that um you actually you can interact with the environment
- 35:02
that free up the area to move through too yeah that'd be yep hold on don't show my gm panel
- 35:12
oh oh my god just killed a horse what is wrong what is wrong with you oh no chris no
- 35:30
uh excellent this is carry on
- 35:32
yeah that we had an unbelievable you're supposed to help me i didn't do it on purpose
- 35:41
we're gonna transfer the goods from steven's caravan over to bucky's
- 35:45
that's that's a good that's a good community question do players want
- 35:48
oh my god we all know what the answer to that question is the answer is a resounding yes
- 35:56
trees should falling on people should do damage should destroy caravan one shot unbelievable
- 36:06
i'm sorry chris what were you saying um something about caravans on routes um they uh
- 36:13
so yeah when you're traveling with a caravan um there are events that can trigger as a result
- 36:17
of you being there with a caravan um that can either block your way or um spawn things to
- 36:24
attack your caravan um and require you to kind of um make decisions about how you want to proceed
- 36:31
right whether you turn around and go somewhere else or you find a path off road um all with
- 36:36
different kind of dangers associated with them very cool how are you doing back there bucky
