 Hey there lads and ladies, it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and today I have got another firewall updates news video. This one is pretty interesting, pretty exciting, should give a lot of us hope for the future of firewall ultra. Basically what you're seeing in the background here is my stream of firewall ultra from last night where the CEO of first contact entertainment Hess Barber himself appeared in the chat and he just had like a fairly open I would say conversation with not only myself who was playing at the time but also other people in the chat so some really interesting stuff was said and I want to get into that he was he stuck around for a long time so there is a lot to get into so I'm just going to jump into it right now. So the very first thing Hess says when he pops in is what's your current take on the progression crypto rewards etc. Does it need to be more faster? We have improved it quite a bit what are your thoughts so straight away he opens up with like just looking for feedback immediately. So he's already got a couple of responses saying definitely better but maybe lower the price of something says kills a loss and war room says it's a crime how you guys have us instead of changing progression just change prices and give crypto to supplement change of prices kills a loss tedious scrolling here and then Hess says it's not where we want it yes agree on prices etc working on that so it sounds like they're working to reduce the prices of some things I mean the signal jammer is nearly 400,000 so that's been excessive so hopefully they can drop the price especially on those kind of essential things he's responding here he says thank you still got a ways to go to where I want us lots of things being fixed worked on etc no one is sleeping here really appreciate the feedback so the system response to more comments coming in from Moz and Donnie and kills a lot says need to nerf the enemy shotgun and X will not haven't played X will yet but apparently it's like a sniper Shazi and has says still I thought we nerfed that guy he was brutal so if you're an ex-fil fan of that's something that's been bothering you then hopefully that guy will be nerfed and down here he says taking notes which is also comforting to see you know he's further says we will work on us until we cannot anymore now I assume that the wording there implies what they're gonna work on us until Sony come along and say no you can so fingers crossed Sony aren't looking at this I'm thinking about pulling the plug because we want them to work on this as long as possible and turns into the game that we all know it can be so to Suki over here or a lone wolf viewer says please remove ADS let us throw grenades normal as well and I believe in response to this has says alternates options for a lot of features in the works he says here then we don't want to dictate to anyone how they have to play us I'm all for choosing how you want it so sounds like options will be coming so even if they don't get rid of something that you don't like right now that might give you an option to do it in a way that you'd much rather prefer and then there's a lot of talk of like cosmetics and stuff like that so has says lots to come don't even want to talk about the new shit until we fix the current shares which I suppose is the correct way of looking at that you know fix the fundamentals and then worry about trinkets and face paints and stuff like that so this talk of ADS aimed down sights so he says aimed down sights improvements in progress won't rely so heavily on us in future which personally to me sounds good like I'm not a fan of the ADS I'm not even using us anymore even though by not using as you put yourself at a disadvantage but I just don't enjoy using us and a lot of people feel the same way okay so then he says contrary to popular belief we don't make a goal of making games that frustrate players we feel it more than anyone when it's not the way we want us and this is in response to just a general kind of sentiment that I see out there anyway that a lot of people think oh they don't care you know they did they knew people weren't gonna like it but they did it anyway I just well he's disputing that and I find that easy to to believe you know I don't think anyone wants to make a game that's people don't want to play you know and then he talks about the assignment bug so he says the assignment bug is very frustrating it shouldn't renew daily fix is coming so I didn't even know that was a bug I thought that was just the intention that it will be a daily you had 24 hours to do the assignment and that was this but apparently you know it's supposed to be there permanently until you actually finishes and that sounds way way better for those of us who don't have you know all day kind of to get some of these done some of them you really time consuming so might take like four or five hours to get them done not everyone has four or five hours in a day to dedicate to firewalls so that's a bug and I'm glad to hear that that's gonna be fixed so he says that and always says you have no assignments at the end of a match so he says bugs being worked on as we speak and kills a lot says ranks being reset really seem to hurt the most out of everything and has replies that by saying the recess is terrible fix coming very soon for that such success so you're saying Diaz should have been nerfed and he says yes so when we thank him I'm in the chat they're tank tanking has for talking to us and stuff like that so he says of course I usually get in trouble when I speak in chats but I will only talk in pumpkin's jazz they are watching me lol so to Suki asked what was the change for Diaz and has says can't give details gets me in trouble but we are aware he is an exploit and fixing him so then moz says if you can get it fixed so after I reload my gun my hand should go right back on the gun without needing to press the grip again same way it does if you're using the constant hold grip and has says noted so if you're one of those people who likes to have the toggle grip on but the reload messes that up then they're working on that too or at least it's noted and then has says I assume in response to something we're saying in the in the actual in-game it's like he says eyes won't be the only option soon so of course that's gonna be music to a lot of people's ears who are not happy with the amount of eye kind of tracked stuff going on in the game so to Suki says sounds like you got a lot of fixes we want being worked on and has for by saying so much being worked on weekly patches will continue see there has been a fairly regular cadence of patches so fair and it sounds like that's going to continue so who knows in a month or so we could have a lot of these fixes in so must says I play without using ads not a fan of us to which has replied saying you will like the new ads options coming so those people who are currently not a fan of ads will allegedly like the improvements coming to ads so that remains to be seen of course boss sounds promising at this point maybe anything would be better than than how it is now so over here then to Suki asked any plan for Halloween or too soon for that because too much work too much to work on other stuff too much work on other stuff sorry I fumbled that one big time so if you remember from firewall zero or when there's you know Halloween and Christmas time they would decorate the the lobby area with like you know skeletons and spiders will come down in your face and stuff but has replied saying I'd love to do Halloween stuff but again anything new right now until the game is smoothed out would be an incorrect use of resources and I think we can all agree with that I mean it's a shame because Halloween is coming up so soon it will be nice to have us instead of having to wait for a year to see it was under the circumstances understandable enough and important over here says I may never ads as well and has says you won't have to use ads soon and that's really promising I really like the sound of that and then has says quite comically says if anyone wants to make a multiplayer game I highly recommend doing a base a prior to launch so I had missed this originally but to Suki actually asked has says we wanted a base but I assumed that was out of your control and has says no comment they are watching so basically confirms Sony said no and war room says didn't want the wave of canceled pre-orders to which has replies ouch so when we were playing in the match itself we had a teammate jackpaw and he kept going on about how he wants shoot house that's like his favorite map from the original so he was asking has if she was coming so he replies to that saying shoot house not in the lineup at this point who knows what will happen in the future though so then did I dan asks about a kick button for AFK players so has response saying AFK fix is done I thought it was already patched if not it will be very soon so that fix is done if it's not already there it's gonna be patched in the next one I assume it's gonna be if they're an active for a round or whatever a certain period of time they'll automatically be kicked so then chopped asked the question just not sure why ADS was added I mean we didn't have it in firewall zero hour what do we need it now lose that and use the button for something useful and then has replies to that saying we like to embrace new tech we leaned heavily into us maybe too heavily winky face and then has some self poses a question he says what's your favorite use of eye tracking in ultra if any and some of the responses he got was the tower implementation which is like the sentinel skill the flash back thing which I didn't even think about at the time but yeah that was a good one and obviously the fovea is it rendering which is something you don't even notice happening but it's like really important that it's there and that's why the game looks as good as it does and then there's a mention of the arms and stuff how they go inside the body and kind of look really janky so has says I said the arms bug makes me cringe I hate janky viewer so I don't know if that means they're working on us I'm trying to fix it but you know they're aware of us and they're not happy with it either and then we were gathered around the white board in the lobby area and has as should we have some viewer markers so you can plan and rice on the white board and of course I love that idea and then he says you know and have them display in game once you enter the map that's cool so just he seems to be kind of like just brainstorming here like what if you put a marker on the map and the white board and then it would appear in the game and the overlay and stuff like that again nothing that's confirmed is coming just something he's thinking out loud about I think of course then he said nah maybe not you know so I don't know it depends on it so it seems like a complex thing to do if that's what they wanted to do especially when you consider like you're not gonna know where the laptop spawn is unless this shows it on the map each time he says that this is something that they originally had in mind he said yes that was the idea for the white boards originally I'm just thinking if we allow like pins or something which then turn into markers in the actual map hmm thinking noises so then Steve over here which I believe is Alva steam steam Steve is asking how long until we see the pancake version so he reckons it's gonna be a flap version he says as long as you're not compromising the viewer version I know it's some work for probably 95% of the way there and has says the more people play the more we get to grow with and add crazy stuff like drones etc so has seems like he's not he clearly says over here I'm open to us now up to me though the more the merrier so he's open to a pancake version which means you know just traditional flat to get more people in and then he reiterates I don't have any pull it's all up to the overlords winky face so that's gonna be a Sony decision and important mentions the tracer bug he says the tracer is coming from behind the gun instead of starting at the end of the barrel is a bit janky looking and has says hey I hate the tracer bug annoys me every time I see and confirms it is on the list of things that need fixing has then says more emotion then you know goes into this from the whole team it's not easy to see it imperfect in any way we will keep pushing until we cannot anymore and then there's more talk about doing like Halloween themed stuff or holiday themed stuff he says if the overlords allow us we would love to do holiday stuff important says the spider was so good from the first firewall zero around he says has says I wanted to do a new version of the spider so bad maybe next year maybe we'll get a hairy spider next year now that we got the graphics that can render hairs on a spider and at some stage in the game we're streaming we're talking about what maps we'd like and I mentioned I'd like to see a snow map that's top of my priority and has says snow not a bad idea so Steve says I don't think there is a more cozy internet attack than this game's trash or lazy devs crazy how these comments can get under your skin to which has replies it's not easy that's for sure hasn't been a very happy month to be honest just got to keep pushing on though appreciate that some people think about that thanks so just showing you a bit of the human side of things going on there and some of these comments maybe you're a bit a bit overboard and then has leaves as quickly well not quickly he was there for a long time but as quietly as he entered he leaves he says gotta run thanks for the open chat made me feel better love you pumps buy everyone thanks for the support and then at that point we just thanked him for coming in and being so open with us you know it was a rare kind of a we don't get that off on the first contact entertainment they're they're like they're like gagged a lot of the times but what they're able to say so it was great to get those tidbits and it felt comforting you know to finally get like a conversation open enough conversation obviously couldn't say everything he wanted to say but to know that so many things are being worked on and some of these things being the fundamental things that I was worried about I was worried about you know maybe they can't change some of this stuff maybe the ADS is like just so ingrained into the core system that will be too much to change but it sounds like we're not like they are going make these big potentially fundamental changes that will completely change how far well ultra fields and weekly updates as well he's what he promised but he's saying you know it sounds like that's what's gonna happen and even stuff that's already fixed or about to be fixed coming very soon like the resetting bug and you know stuff like that that they're aware of so yeah if you're a firewall ultra fan or maybe if you're not a firewall ultra fan but you wanted to be one but the way the game was it was putting you off maybe these the kind of things you'd want to hear that'll be like you know maybe I want to come back now you know so that is it for this video thank you
