 Oh, hello there This is enter the ether podcast all about ethereal clash souls I'm your host the man goose joining me as always is my friend and co-host jelly knees. How you doing jelly? I'm so good man goose. You got the foil had one dude the tin foil task force strikes again We were right again about the camps. There were 38 camps in ethereal. I'm just saying I'm just saying okay called it You called it we can take this off now You don't want to leave it on the entire time. Oh my fabulous hair will be Yeah, um, yeah, you guys fucking nailed it on the head that was a great job from on your part and Speaking of which that's what we'll be talking about of course is the community corner that are very first community corner this week hosted by Noxus and who was that girl? Some random chick, I think I don't know. I've never met her in real life. That's for sure. It was of course page of imagination I'll tell you what Noxus did not look like I expected him to look and I didn't appreciate that not one bit Like I don't know what I thought he would look like but I would like him to look a little more like what I would think he would look like even though neither of us knows what I think he would look less gorgeous man than Yeah, no, I totally get it gorgeous man Not that we said we're thinking you didn't look like a gorgeous man Noxus, but we didn't think you would look like a gorgeous man Yeah, yeah Don't you know Owen and Ky are gonna show up and be dropped at gorgeous to I know right model walking down That would be that would be crazy Maybe that's why they don't show themselves They're too great. They're good looks will be too much for us. They're too pretty for this world Yeah, but we can't we can't fit in with that nerd asshole man goose. We're too pretty for that man Maybe that's what it is You're the reason we don't sure they don't show their faces. I Have my rustic good looks goddamn it. Yeah, let's get back into the community quarters So well with the community corner they answered a handful of questions at the very first We're gonna go over those real quick in case you missed out on what those answers were the first question was will the game names Be saved from alpha to launch So if you create your in-game name do you get to keep that when the game officially launches jelly survey says? Yes, yeah, I wouldn't expect anything else if I steal man goose's username. I'll get it forever That's all that I need Do that Out and then there it is. It's over. I hope they do what premise a predecessor to let us make our User names before anybody like content creators. Let us make our user names for anybody else did so that they wouldn't get stolen That was sad. I know right. Let's see yet So what was the next question jelly? the next question was Blanking because I don't have it up Jelly you didn't pull up the Google Docs. The next question was when can we expect so we're gonna see a zero skin? Yes, you got it Jelly wins again coming in hot with that tinfoil hat He's got it set to the side. It's still affecting his brain. Um, So with the skin for zero, they said that he'll be in the pre-office that there was a small teaser In case you guys don't want to go rooting for that through to look for that I'm gonna throw it up on the screen right now So you can see a bit of what the zero skin will look like I will tell you Doesn't show you the whole picture of course, so Take what you can get there and I like that this skin is gonna be called like judgment to zero or something like it feels very Serious based on what we see have seen of it. Yeah it's a Kind of a rounded more rounded helm too, which for some reason make them look a little more intimidating More inquisitor like I don't know but uh, yeah guys I Had to search for hours upon hours upon hours Define that image. I didn't just have it because I made it for Owen that didn't happen It wasn't like me who went through literally every avenue and couldn't find the image Legit every single one And then mangoes just like oh here it is. I'm like cool. Thanks for that Well, I mean he came to me one day he had to make a thumbnail for something but he was on his phone He was like, oh man goose. I can't make thumbnails. Please help me. You're so manly and strong. So like here you go Now Owen just to prove that he doesn't have that kind of voice is gonna do love a face reveal and voice reveal And we're gonna see that he's a gorgeous man just like Noxus and it's all over from there I'll talk to him quite a bit. That's exactly what he sounds like. Oh, man. You saved me He's got this weird southern accent. I will neither confirm nor deny I'll leave that to Owen The next question was how can the random weather events be balanced and they said that they're only gonna last for about three minutes And they will affect everyone so Hmm, I don't know how balanced that is still because certain things affect other different heroes certain ways. So Yeah, I completely agree and I think three minutes is really fast like you think that's great I see that's people have been telling me that too in the grand scheme of like a 30 to 40 minute game having 10 rotations of weather or of just time of day rather Is that to me seems nuts? If if one hero benefits more than the rest from that then that's three minutes of that dude reek and have it That's true. Yeah, I don't know. It's just weird. They did this and here's the storm They had random weather events that would just happen throughout the map They got rid of that shit pretty pretty damn quick because like one of the events would Suddenly make everybody stealth Some heroes aren't meant to be stealth Yeah It's It's fine if a hero is balanced around having stealth in their kit But when they don't and they have stealth it was it was it was killing people. Oh Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what the effects are of the weather and all of that and how it really feels being three minutes at a time Yeah, it's I think it's one of those I think a lot of what we saw is going to be better interpreted by feel than it is just by looking at it Yeah, yeah, we're just gonna have to find out from play and I think yeah And that was all that was the only three that was only three questions they had if you guys have more questions for Undying game just to head to their discord and they have a special channel where you can just put your questions in there And they'll try and ask them in the next community corner because this is I think I'll do this weekly or You know, I think they said it's gonna be weekly on every Friday So in like in lieu of blog posts, they're gonna do a community corner But maybe they'll alternate they'll alternate So they'll do a blog post one week and a community quarter the next and then just alternate between the two. Yeah Wonder where they got the idea to do something like this. Yeah, that's crazy The funniest thing to me was when they started with let's enter the ether and I was like, excuse me. Yeah. Yeah, that's trademark Thank you very much They are payments in the Malaya body pillows. They have soon tm'd we have entered the ether tm'd. Yeah, God How dare they I know like they knew that this show existed And as a special treat It's like it's it's as if one of them had been on the show as a guest host at some point in time And it wasn't a handsome man So As a special treat they gave us a much more in-depth walkthrough of the map than we have seen yet more of a fly-through It was you know, yeah camera angle or whatever, but holy crap. There was a lot there Jelly, I know you I mean you did a live stream. I didn't watch the live stream I was doing other stuff, but I know you and your tin foil task force had to have found like a Billion gazillion things So, uh, yeah for for sure the big thing that they talked about in the kind of fly-through of the map is Open camps something specifically called open camps and these look like a small Square or a small rectangle on the ground that are gonna have some kind of special enemy jungle type enemy that gives a Bigger reward than just your basic jungle camp They didn't give any more details than that But if you look at the weird from the top-down images we got in the blog post If you look at the weird like open spots that we've seen on the map. That's where the open camps are going to sit, right? So there's going to be eight open camps total just based off of that image two on the void lane And then three on fire and ice respectively Which is gonna be really cool and interesting to see if the buffs are big enough They could be kind of their own mini-stirmishes in the jungle over them I'd imagine that the duo lanes gonna have their own type of buff and the solo lanes gonna have its own and Vice versa to make the lanes competitive But it'll be interesting to see what those entail, but there's a thousand tiny details Just in this fly-through of like logs or places that camps are or hidden pathways or I've got a whole video That came out yesterday As of Tuesday, so if you're watching this yesterday, it came out That goes through all of the like the little Easter egg things that we I found in that Fly-through that we got right on. I'm looking forward to that then Yeah, it's it's nuts. It really is the open camps that's a Kind of a weird idea. I like it though because like anybody can see that you're doing that camp and Come third party your ass like you're playing apex legends When it means that so we have 38 camps total 19 per side If you take out the open camps, it's 30 camps. So it's really 15 per side not including the opens which are gonna be more sounds like they're gonna be more contested than regular jungle camps Right and when you assume with that many camps, we have two junglers I feel like it's just gonna be non-stop battles between open camps and bubs and Wyverns and a tropos and the obelisk whatever that does and oh my god Well, hopefully the war matches the risk for that. Oh, yeah, 100% The three ring things I noticed those those really do seem to be like portals now From the way they're calling it obelisk. They're not calling it a portal. They're calling it the obelisk That wasn't the obelisk though, was it? Yeah, that was the obelisk. Yep, but there was one like on the side of the map, too That's where it is. It's in the middling across from a tropos cave. Oh, okay. Okay Or sorry void lane not been laying So that's gonna be yeah, that was the that was the other big reveal is a fourth Neutral objective which we kind of thought there would be one Um an obelisk you think it'll just be kind of like a tower in the jungle. I Honestly have no idea. Yeah Images we've had for the obelisk so many times for so many hours But I just sit there. I'm like this could be anything it could be a battle that you can choose what the next weather cycle is or it stays a certain time of day for a certain amount of time or You gain a buff of gold it could just be a gold boost or it could be a king of the hill in the middle of the match That whoever holds this point for one minute gets their team gets a boost or like it's just there's so many options for what it could be That I can't that's the one thing on the map that I'm like this I want this I want to know now that we've got jungle camps and what they look like I Want to know what the obelisk does? um What the obelisk to like with with that name it does seem like the objective itself will be station areas I don't think it's going to be a minion of some type unless I agree. Yeah They're as they're misdirecting us by calling it a novelist The the thing I think is most Probable of what it could be is some kind of king of the hill Alter style that if you stand on it for a 60 seconds You capture it for your team and your team gets extra gold per five seconds or something among those lines That would be cool. I like that They also indicated that there's gonna be lights and markers in the jungle So if you get lost like I will definitely do you can find your way back to the lane or wherever you want to go Which is another learn the map by heart and you're just like oh, yes I blindly blindfolded can navigate through the jungle You're not a jungler, so that I guess it makes sense eventually. I'll be able to And then there were many many mushrooms which we confirmed with page Her mushrooms everywhere Everywhere it feels like she went back in and put more mushrooms in to prove us wrong like Just because we made that comment of like mushrooms confirmed that she absolutely went back in there Like oh you want mushrooms? The elder when they showed the elder he only had one sword But everything we know of the elders they'll have to so it makes me wonder if as the fight goes on He'll I just pull out a second sword. Oh, you thought like a sword. Yeah, and become more difficult to kill Like maybe half health or something they pull out the second sword. That's I didn't think about that. Yeah, that's cool We saw the spires for the first time. Yep, they're kind of like crystalline look to them, which I think is really cool And so on my stream for the community corners, which we're gonna do for every community corner So if you want to break down afterwards go there We measured how tall Dante is in comparison to the elder in the extra life test, right? So then we could get a gauge of how big everything was in the base and like the spire so One Dante is a third of the height of a elder Okay, a Spire is a half the height of an elder. So Dante is just slightly smaller than a full help full height spire Which so it's it looks like that's going to be a fairly large objective In size not just the objective itself So we're gonna measure things in Dante's instead of Nicolai's then that's because we don't have a good measurement for Nicolai now Or is Dante like the meter Nicolai is at the centimeter like It's four Nicolai's to a Dante one Dante three Dante's to a Grognard Units of measurement The map is a thousand li is long I want that stat League of Legends does like fun facts while you're loading into the game Like if you only traveled by using your blink special ability, it would take you Five hours to travel across the map Like I want that but I want that for ethereal that like you said the map is 3000 li as long Thank you. I think I don't know I more feel bad for whoever did that than I actually wanted to know how long it was in lias But is that wingspan included or not included? Where are we where are we drawing the line here? That would be great. I would love that if they did something like that. I can see them doing something like that too All right, you know what devs? I'll do it. I'll be the guy whenever somebody asks Just give me give me the thing I need whatever I need to do I'll line up the lias and be able to tell you exactly how many lias long the map is So I think that's it for the community corner that stuff that we're going to talk about unless you had anything else jelly Uh, you know other than the little details, but that would take us an hour If you want those check out the video that uh jelly was referencing Yep But then the other thing they did at the same time as the community corner was they added a libraries section Yep to the map Which i'm not going to lie made me a little mad because literally the day before they add that section is when I made my website video And so it's like okay. I just made a video on this and you changed it a day later like I didn't even get a week out of this before you had already changed some of the stuff No, that's the way it goes basically a Section to hold all of the lore for all of the myths Is what it seems like because we've got the dasha tribe lore. We've got malaya's lore and now we have daunte's lore on there Um in short stories and things like that and the from what I've read so far. They're incredible that yeah Spoiled rotten. It's three parts. I think right now. Yeah insane I think this just goes to show that There's going to be a hell of a lot more lore to each hero than just their introductory blurb Yeah Yeah We think we figured out daunte's passive from the spoiled rotten short story that he's in Noxus made a comment about if you are looking carefully you can find his abilities We've known his abilities the one thing we didn't know because it wasn't functional in the extra life test was his passive And I think it's something called nemesis Because and it's basically there's a line that says he shot his first nemesis And every time he shoots them it's dealing more and more damage to their armor or something like that And it's like okay. This feels a little too Like perfect to fit in there like and it's randomly like the word nemesis being thrown in it's like Why are you saying this this this is a call to something like yeah, it's pretty great Um along with the lore they got a couple of pictures too For the for the dashi tribe you got the actual village that malaya is from And then um for daunte's intro lore Oh where'd it go It's not pulling up for me right now. Oh, there we go. You got a His city that he's from uh come with zaria yeah And you you even got like some little holographic daunte images Popping up. It's a pretty cool pretty cool little thing It just shows you how different the backgrounds for each myth or is going to be with daunte being from this sprawling modern metropolis and uh Malaya being from a very humble village with thatched roofs and horses and stuff Very very different walks of life entirely Um the thing I really liked about daunte's in particular But malaya's has elements of this as well Is it felt like daunte's short story or and lore? Felt like there were other characters in there that we could definitely see as future myths. Yes Like they're reading it. I was like this person like there's a little too much detail about them That i'm like this feels like somebody we could see in six months. Like I i'm pretty sure That's a whole tinfoil theory in itself. I totally agree. They're they they they spent a little too much time developing some of those characters It's not like the normal stories. We're like, oh, this is his friend tim tim is a good person But we don't like him very much and then they just move on Yeah, this this like describes their shield and how great they are and their best friends with daunte and like They go around everywhere together. Like they almost have their own abilities Exactly, uh, it's it's so great. I love it because I as I'm sure you all know read into things a little too much so So stuff like that is it makes me sit there and go like, but wait, is it real? Like is this actually a thing or is it not a thing anymore? Oh, it's incredible I think we'll see I think we'll see uh Some of those people pop up later on down the road because we know that they had what they have like It was over 30 myths planned, right? We just we've only ever seen like 15 or 16 Yeah, I think they've definitely said that they're working past myths that we from what we've seen so far Right. I mean the fact that they have them voice casted into the future already I think shows that they're further along in development on future myths than we even realize right Um, it's and not that I'm trying to compare them But it's kind of like paragon with every three weeks. They were saying that in the beginning Imagine how far out they have to be prepared to make something like that happen Yeah, and I'd imagine ethereal trying to hit that kind of base roster before a full release Has similar pipelines already built up with future myths. Yep Absolutely Oh and also With the uh, library and the lord they released the alphabet the aetherian alphabet. Yes um, which You know, they didn't need to because jelly already figured that shit out like months ago Yeah, you're behind the ball ug. Come on Well, task force has known all the letters. I don't know what these others are they have other listed on some on the end Yeah, I don't know what that is either But to be honest, I haven't looked too much into the alphabet Because it was one of those things like oh, I know this. All right moving on like Yeah, so A lot of cool stuff if you if you like game lore then check this out. It's it's A lot more meat to the lore for ethereal than there is for pretty much any other game. I've seen out there Yeah, absolutely, and I can't I can't Wait to get all of it for at least the pre-alpha seven and just see how it's all gonna piece together and start remembering lore and see interactions or hear voice lines that you go like, oh, wait, that's in the lore like that I love the little details like that Oh before before somebody calls me out on it. I should say any other MOBA Because if I say any other game people would be like, but war to warcraft has Warhammer is a thousand books written about it. Okay MOBA. Okay MOBA Star Wars fandom to come after you and Carry you to shreds, but you don't understand this twig that Yoda steps on in the third movie Oh my god when I watched One division with Windu in his crew Like every little thing that happened this could probably mean like, oh my god Just watch the fucking show guys We're almost at jr our Tolkien levels where you describe a tree's background. Yeah Hey All right, I think that's gonna wrap it up for this week unless you got anything jelly Nope, that's it for me. I think it sounds like you're going to update the website The lore section of the website every week And I bet that now that we got Dante's kit, which we mostly knew already in that lore We'll probably get more of those in the future revealing the kits further than they already have been Certainly up. So certainly upset. Yep. Look for all that lore But yeah, jelly you got anything to plug YouTube all the videos always forever Forever, there's literally so many things that I can make videos on now. It's ridiculous My my problem is less. So what to make it on and choosing which to make it on like it's So, yeah, all the videos that's about it. What about you man goose? Oh, let's see. Let me Let me pull something up real quick here Let's shout out to florky Let's uh, let's get some of the some some hype around some of the other Planned content creators for ethereal. I don't know if they've done any content yet, but uh, Yeah, check them out. Look forward to any content that they may do on ethereal. So shout out to florky But um, I think that was going to wrap it up for this week I hope you guys enjoyed that community corner that they put on I hope you guys enjoyed the little show that we put on And I hope that the undying games admits that they got their idea for the community corner from enter the ether. So As As, uh, noxious and page like to copy. I hope you join us as we all enter the ether Man
