Please Hi-Rez just let me play your stupid fucking game

So it aint a coincidence, these cards must be bugged like >>169085714 said
Increased smoke bomb radius and yet it still isn't updated visually.
Also, an unmentioned buff is that Skye's Poison Bolts now fire almost instantly. Wonder what else they did without mentioning.
>>169086048
Wetpanda's pockets were empty. He crave for money.
>>169086183
>an unmentioned buff is that Skye's Poison Bolts now fire almost instantly
5$ on it's a bug
Also, don't play any game even if the servers are up.
Cuckbear fucked up and now queue sends you in queue for random games, not for the game mode you wanted.

barik come back pls
>>169086348
Cassie looks like a transsexual in that picture.
How did they fuck up so badly?
The new PvE is bugged like there is no tomorrow, offline players get queued in comp, some cards don't give the correct amount of essence, and many more.
What the fuck is going on?
>>169086417
I don't think it's working since I still think OW is shit.
>>169086585
Barik come back, any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you

>>169086901
That's exactly what they did
>>169087075
Actually, the game is down for everyone, including the streamers. It's only that because of how badly the game got fucked up, their connection lagged into a different one of Earth's simultaneous days, so they're playing on the servers that will be up in 2 days.
Get woke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Cube

Nope, its this one.
Barik was removed temporarily because he probably had a game breaking bug. Really, this shit needed more days of testing.
>>169087821
In PTS, Barik would literally crash the game.
>>169087821
This entire fucking patch is a game breaking bug

>>169087932
>barik is disabled

Yeah but these are buffs compared to the previous patch you get for free. Well except skye since her 'buff' is actually the weakest of all heroes including those that got nerfed.
>>169088143

>>169088413
In the last patch, you needed to hit all 3 poison bolts on an enemy to deal +20% damage (+5% for each bolt and another +5% for hitting all 3).
Now you just gotta hit 1 and get the full +20%.
>>169086720
I log into the game
I walk through Timber Mill again
I pass the point
But you're not there anymore.
It's a day since you've been there,
now you've disappeared somewhere
Like old game's pace
You've vanished without a trace.
And I miss you, like Evie misses Wormhole.

Remember the visual bug where you lost cards?
Now it's actually a full on bug, I lost 200 cards out of nowhere.
>>169088510
I went through 60 chests and got about 6 of them with the boost. Seems decent if you play every character.
The more worrying thing is the Essence cost for new builds. Now that not all cards are considered equal, and we get roughly 5 chests from leveling up a hero to level 4 only, there's no way to really experiment unless you are sitting on hoards of it or you're lucky enough like me to get all your legendaries and are sitting on top of it. Actually, those card build sites should really have an essence calculator to see how p2w it can really get.

I'm just gonna blast both at once, Green Day for Barik (RIP sweet prince) and meme for the game in general.

When will the bad news end? At least the Victor damage cards got nerfed, though I still want them and all the damage buff cards removed.

Game is utterly broken right now. Just played a bot game with no bots.
I got a ton of emotes and poses for my favorite champs for free so that's nice, but Drybear is still a retarded cuck.
I also didn't get anything for my waifuSkye, so fuck you Jewbear.
>>169089031
>on non-laggy servers
It's worse than ever.
This is like 10 tick rate now, it feels like playing a BYOND game.
I was able to stand and WATCH a viktor shoot me from around a corner for about a second. His bullets flying through a doorway, off a map, and I'm standing there getting hit from 90 degrees around the corner.
>>169088753
Everything is on fire.
Goddamn, I haven't been in the front seat of something so beautiful.
Oh finally, a reason for me to play something else for a few hours.

How about no, Hi-rez.

gave him my referral link (to get the Pip skin)
today is his first experience with Paladins
Neat

I'm not sure if you get this Pip skin, your friend might run away while screaming.

I just came back from work, and the game is down and everyone is losing their shit. What happened exactly?

Pip whores himself so much because he needs the money
>>169089896
But aint nando's shield his best legendary?

Wasn't it supposed to be 1000?
>>169090260
I think I read 300? Not sure if I'm right though.

Voice packs, its a generic monotone voice if you don't have a voice pack.
>>169093481
???
have you bought the voice packs?
it's the default voice, want different voices for each champion - drybear needs $$$
go to customization tab
Fuck this shit, I haven't played since Torvald was released and wanted to try the cancer knife girl before I sleep and I can't even log on.
Wasted almost 2 hours for this, is she as busted as people say?
>>169093859
If you know what you're doing, yes.
If you just run around without a thought for strategy, she's a slightly better version of what a Skye with the same mindset would be.
>>169093859
no, she is shit against people who have good aim or just stick together
if you're low ELO, you might wreck everyone tough

It has a five second cooldown and always has had, you god damn scrub.
>>169093505
The card was supposed to work like pic related
But instead there was no time limit, the stacks lasted until you died and the % reduction was fucked too
If you boosted 10 times (which you cant do in 3 seconds obviously) near 5 enemies you should have 50% damage reduction but for some reason you ended up with around 90% damage reduction making you practically immortal
Obviously pulling this shit in an actual match was almost imposible but i got to 40% DR before BK jolted the fuck out of me

HIREZED
Should I even be going for headshots as Androxus? It's just so hard to hit compared to anywhere else at all. It seems like to hit headshots, you HAVE to hit DIRECTLY on the head model, not near it, but directly on it, while everything else you can hit roughly around and still hit.
I just think my accuracy is awful, mostly because I aim too high and miss cause I want headshots. I get that they're strong, but should I just go for chest shots instead, and maybe attempt to headshot if I'm feeling confident? My aim just isn't good enough to go for headshots right now.
UP AND OVER

>>169097026BEND OVER

That's the skill of playing Androxus. If you don't make headshots he's shit compared to damages.

the team oriented legendaries and team oriented builds are only when you're on a group and already know the person you're supporting is not a retard, solo Q you should always use self oriented builds.

Okay so Arial Assult Ruckus is definitely fun. It's just amazing how much this one legendary lets you do.

>>169098073
good, now those crap maeve players get to taste trying to hit a fast thing that kills you much easier than you can kill them.
Altough i think Maeve can still easily kill Drogoz in fish market.
>>169098073
>plays against a shit maeve that somehow dies to drogoz
>still loses

>>169098073
Is she noticeably slower or was her "nerf" just a meme?
>>169098253
A meme
Drybear tweeting about skins and boosters during this mess is just funny to me
>>169098441
I find it kind of tasteless.
So those times when someone does actually switch to support/front line to fill out the team will definitely be rarer now.
>tfw wanted to get barik to mastery 4 today
>>169098816

>>169099539
You haven't tried playing against a good Andy as drogoz have you. He will shit all over you and never touch the ground while he does it.
"We are extremely strong believers that Free to Play is a fantastic business model for gaming. But it needs to be done in a fair way that isn't "Pay to Win." That's harder to achieve than you may think, and bear with us as we balance the game around that philosophy. But I think people that have been with us for a while know that we work hard to build fair systems for our players and hugely respect the experience of players that never pay us a dime."

>>169099596
You serious? Colossal chest don't give duplicates and that alone makes Paladins way more fair on money. I bought 15 dollars worth of Overcrates to try and get a Chinese New Year legendary skin and got a common skin for a character I hate and the rest was garbage.
I may be an idiot with my money, but at least with Paladins I can guarantee I'll get the drops I want.
>>169100651
>skins
Who cares when paladins has game changing cards locked behind chests?
>>169100558
Smite isn't P2W tho. I'm really surprised they fucked up this hard with Paladins after coming up with something sane with Smite.
Hide and Seek was so much better on the PTS, it wasn't full of BRs and blithering retards who instapick Skye and Maeve.
>>169100572
That's every F2P game every. First time playing a video game?
>>169100891
lol
>>169100025
Why not just do what they did with smite?
>Reduce gold gains/make champions cost more
>Founders lets you own all champions and cards forever
>Make actual semi decent skins and dump them in chests to get money
>>169100572
I would rather buy to play than drop $50 worth on chests to gamble on getting the cards I want. The problem is locking gameplay-effecting character customization behind a RNG paywall for all intents and purposes.
>>169100835
>mfw the best games are too afraid to region lock for fear of being called racist
I don't care if wanting to communicate in a meaningful way with my team makes me a "nazi", just let me enjoy the game for fuck's sake.
no one wants to load into a team oriented game and be the only one speaking their language
>>169101036
that doesn't matter nearly as much as the lack of voice chat
Reminder that its costs 792,000 essence to unlock all current legendaries for the current 22 champions.
Reminder that 13 champions with 26 more legendaries and their regular cardsets are supposed to be coming this year.
Open bracket is going to be hilarious this week.
I just hope there won't be a break every three seconds, because bugs.
Drogoz with wrecker now does 1488 damage to shields.
>>169101475
Gas the shields, dragon war now
>>169101341
They've also talked about champions having more than 3 legendaries in the future.
>>169101554
Well, they did already deep-six the dwarf...
It has been a fun ride guys, but how much longer should we still hold before jumping ship?

>playing tank when you dont have a healer
You did it to yourself
where are my fucking chests lo-rez
>>169101589
Are they trying to kill their game because, even if you are okay with paying, $10-ish of crystals per legendary on average is going to get really old. And that grind/monetary commitment to be remotely competitive is going to kill any new player experience as more champions are released. Let's say that you're completely new, do you really want to pay $220 + ($20x) to begin to be competitive, since cards and champions will come in and out of the meta
>>169102262
>Grover isn't a healer
?
>>169102339
>Grover

lmao
>>169102031
I don't care about Viktor, talk to me about playing mah boi Fernando. How terrible was it? Why did you guys lose exactly?
>>169101241
because hearing 3rd worlders screech their subhuman language all game would fix everything.
>>169101554
They might as well just rework the front line class in damages or flankers so nobody has to suffer playing "get on the point and stand still"
so should i even launch paladins or is it just automatically gonna put me in queue?
I played a bit of closed beta when the game was way more harder than now, and i think Hi-Rez is doing a great job with OB44, why you guys always expect an easy experience in games?
I'm an ex LoL player and if you know LoL you now what really grinding is.
Pls stop complaining about the changes Hi-rez do, they just want to improve the game for everyone.
Yes is hard and sometimes boring grind gold/essence but thats the point of it, to kept us playing the game that all of us or at least me enjoy playing.
And finally, just keep calm, Drybear and Hi-Rez are always listening to feedback that players gave to them (Yes, i also played smite for a long time) so they will see your opinions and will work on it, give them time, they are having difficulties at work and yes they are humans too so they have inner problems so pls dont be rude to them.
>Wake up
>Launch Paladins
>Notice i have 108,000 Essence before i've even opened a single chest right at the start.
Que? Is that what we start with?
Also i have 66 chests stockpiled up, should i open all of them at once with a booster and compile everything i get and post it here?

>>169102902
That's enough for all of 6 legendaries :^)
I wonder what fuckbear was feeling when people were shitting their pants thinking that legend cards would be 10k.
>>169102810
t. shill
What happened to Barik? Did they fuck it up again?
>>169103407
Should have picked a more offensive tank, I mean Makoa, Nando is a cool guy, but while your shield is up you aren't really contributing that much to the teamfight, this isn't chokewatch, people can just maneuver around your shield and kill your teammates.
>>169100835
>Hide and Seek was so much better on the PTS, it wasn't full of BRs and blithering retards who instapick Skye and Maeve.
I´ve yet to see a single person buy illuminate.
The number of Meave locking cretins is unbelievable, the mode is completely unplayable without a full party.
>>169104379
he saw how shit the patch is and fucked off for a pint.
What car did Viktor buy? Probably some old Russian luxury car.
>>169102810
>Yes is hard and sometimes boring grind gold/essence but thats the point of it, to kept us playing the game that all of us or at least me enjoy playing.
If you need limits in your characters and imaginary gold to keep people playing then you dont have good enough gameplay for people to want to stay
so is it worth holding on to essence or should I just spend it on 2 cards I want right now?
>>169104761
Quit before you end despising the grind
>>169104727
lada is good car.
>>169104761
spend it, if they lower the prizes down the road they will refund it, if they don't then you just wasted your time holding on to it.
>>169090124
>>169104551
Can drunk Barik be the new meme?
>>169105136
He is a dwarf, being drunk is natural and expected of one.
>>169100404
>>169100225
On the other hand if i want to buy crystals it says "working" indefinetly so i think i will just get founders status later when the servers are done shitting themselves.
>>169105263
Ah, but he's also a Paladin, and Paladins are meant to be above their base urges, an exemplar to all around them!Even though literally no one in the roster is any of that, except for Maeve who fills birth control pharmacists with a sense of purpose.
How long until they make legendaries 10k essence?
Makes the most sense DESU, 18k per legendary CAN NOT stay, it just will cause a bunch of people to quit.
This update made all of my matches slow and lame so far.

Oh god this fucking pve is the worst shit ever
Also if you death ghost walk with grohk your actual CD for ghost walk gets reset so you can get 3 of them in like 4 seconds
jesus christ this update is fucking broken
I just tried to play a game as maeve and my abilities would fail to activate 50% of the time, and sometimes pounce would just stop halfway through like I hit an invisible wall
>>169106538
hahaha that's what you get for playing maeve
>>169106184
right now is not a good time to start because there was an extremely buggy update
You should give it a try when they fix it though, it really is one of the better shooters on the market aside from the 3rd world playerbase.
>>169106430
He can survive for days now but his totem is still ass. They really ought to get it over with and nerf his healing a bit, boost his offence, and call him Damage.
>>169106538
i guess they did nerf maeve's mobility
glad to hear that
>>169106727

Wyrm jets Drogoz is more fun and better than pre nerf propel drogoz.
MAN when they showed off new Wyrm Jets Drogoz it didn't look like he was that fast, but playing him, holy shit I feel untouchable! Like in that aggressive cancerous kind of way like Maeve being everywhere, chasing people down and shitting out damage despite the nerf. He's so good that I'm glad they nerfed him!
>>169108253
Muh nigga
>>169108253
The game is really broken, it was 3/2 for the enemy and we were about to finish a defense but when the time went up the game ended and we got a defeat.
>>169108253
its seems a lot of fun but no doubt half the legendaries are gonna get nerfed
>>169086567
WTF?
Not even bots?
Is it safe to open chests yet?
>>169108596
Viktors already did. Some of them need buffs or need to be completely reworked. Damba, Skye, Ying, & Buck effectively only have 1 talent. Was hoping to see more hard choices instead of what we have now.
>>169108596
Frankly they should nerf his health down to 2k instead of touching the speed, but they won't.

>>169109270
The best Drogoz player, bugzy, prefers the fire spit legendary. Knockback is just too good.

he isnt playing against idiots who dont know how to walk away from an explosion
>>169109876
She was confirmed 18 on stream.And C***ie is 16
>>169109306
The knockback is more of a preference thing. Its good for getting people off the point and edging off the map. No knockback is good for combos. So I'd say they both have uses.
>>169109838
I don't really give a fuck what the best drogoz player thinks. He probably plays on a professional team and in comp, where people can actually aim and hit you when you zip around with wyrm jets.

you can clearly see I hit, the knife trail disappears midair (and you could hear the subtle sound the knives make if the webm had sound)
I am playing on my region's servers and get an average of 50 ping, the ping spike was the server's fault
>>169114576
Not him, but here's the thing:
The projectiles are animated on your end, not the server.
The knives disappeared, because your computer thought you hit, but the server is what actually decides if you hit or didn't, and it disagreed.
If the server would have to broadcast the location of projectiles to everyone, instead of their own computer doing that job, the servers would be a lot more shit.
This is basic multiplayer game design 101 stuff.
>>169114421
And its not even 18k gold, its 18k essence
>>169114142

>>169115102
>The knives disappeared, because your computer thought you hit, but the server is what actually decides if you hit or didn't, and it disagreed.
But that's my point
I was clearly on target, but thanks to the ridiculous ping, the server decided that I actually wasn't
I wasn't the only one lagging out, everyone else complained about it too
>>169115598
>when hipfire viktor is just better tyra
>>169115697
play on your damn region buddy, i've goten the best pings oml on this game on these past few games
>>169115837
nope, tyra is much harder to kill than vik
Pip is a cute healer!
>>169115697
Look, it might have been a clean hit on your screen, but think of it this way:
>You have 300 ping
>On your screen, you're on point
>The server thinks, that you're not on point
>The Drogoz also has 300 ping
This means, it takes the Drogoz 300 ping time, to tell the server where his character is
Meaning the Server, is thinking that the Drogoz is in a location, he was 300 ping amount of time ago
You're following a 300 ping delayed image of what the Server thinks the Drogoz is doing, because you also have 300 ping
This means, that on Drogoz's end, you missed him twice as much, as the server thought you missed him
He could be here bitching instead of you if your computer got the right of way, because on his screen, he clearly dodged you.
This is a general issue of playing with high ping, and it often has less to do with the server, and more with the current internet providers.
For example, I hear SEA people are having a ton of issues, because some under sea cables got severed. Might be your issue.
>>169116335
What part of
>I am playing on my region's servers and get an average of 50 ping
>I wasn't the only one lagging out, everyone else complained about it too
Do you not understand? I'm not complaining about what happened because of the ping, I'm complaining about the ping itself. I'm in another game right now and have 50 ping.
can i oipen chests yet?
>>169116323
Pip can be an actual support now, insane.
>>169116538
The example I game with some SEA servers having issues still stands.
As I understand, traffic is being rerouted all over the damn place in that area, so if just one of the servers Hi-Rez is renting for the purposes of keeping the game running there is in a location that needs to be rerouted, then when you play on that server, you'll get shit ping no matter where you are.
Also, I'm not the same guy as who kept telling you to play on your own region's server.
>>169116654

I'm not really sure, but its really easy to get 1k+ damage, its basically an anti-flanker skill.
>>169118641
because when you buy essence from chests, they can fuck you in the ass even more by giving you shit you don't want instead of essence

do you not know how to play Tyra effectively or just butthurt about sha lin? i was doing great with sha lin, but then tried other champs and realized they are all more effective
this is the problem with good players, they do good with anything they main and then think that random choice champ is great, but you could do even better if you switched
my list is perfect, git gud
ok, damba might not be GOD tier, but he is my snek
How does wraith work while using Tempest?
two weeks of playing three hours a day (so like forty hours) should be enough to unlock basically everything you want in terms of gameplay
this new system is an absolute shitshow
>>169119174
Also great to finish off those pesk damagers that run away when their health gets low.
I have every hero at lvl 10 or higher and I received 0 chests during the upgrade ( I did get like 108k essence, but I'm guessing that's from the tutorial+founders pack). Where do I complain again?
>>169120526
They are still rolling them out. There is a lot to roll out
>>169120526

What the niggering shit fuck is wrong with people? If they were all low level, I'd expect it, but the Kinessa was level 15, the Maeve and Evie were both over level 10. How the fuck can someone play the game for over 100 hours and still not even understand the basics? I'm glad to see literally nothing has changed. The Kinessa bitched me out for "not tanking" even though I was in the front line constantly, tanking shots from literally the entire team while the rest of my guys got butchered by a single Drogoz.

>>169125868
BK + Tank + a good healer + Stay grouped
>>169125135
>>169125720
Or perhaps the enemy team were more coordinated with a better healer/never went alone so it was hard for the flankers to deal damage when the enemy team were always 5 due to neither the supports nor the frontliners getting any form of kills while near point.
>>169125982
still waiting for the day they make a decent voicepack for a skin
>>169126309
No. Never happens. 90% of the time it's because the Flankers are subhuman retards who think they're snipers. Evies always hang back spamming shots and getting shredded, Maeves are generally just tards. Seeing an Evie sniping makes me wish I could choke the life out of the player for fundamentally misunderstanding their character and refusing to learn.
>>169125982
>come and play, everyhing is fine
Are bots a thing now? It seems like every other match I have at least one player whose behaviour reminds me of a farming bot. They walk into walls, randomly use emotes that make no sense, and don't say a single word of written text. Are players using bots to farm gold now?
So is the game playable yet or should I wait?

God I wonder what I can pump out healing since I maxed out at 100k heals before this patch.
Here's a thought. Since they removed Barik entirely, does that mean he's going to be level 0 when he's re-enabled? And locked besides?

I had a very intense match solo healing as Pip against a team with Grohk, in the end it was 3/3 during overtime and everyone was scrambling to the point and just shooting like mad, the Grokh would put his totem near the point and people would destroy it almost instantly, meanwhile I just dropped potion after potion with the CD reduction card, I believe we ended up winning in part because of that.
>>169101959

Not him, but there's 3 things:
1) There is a UI bug that sometimes doesn't show you things you got
2) Legendaries don't give you as much essence as you're supposed to
3) (Some?) Emotes and poses give you nothing if duplicate.

You get to buy two with the initial essence and you get maybe 4 or 5 more from the chests. That's 7 cards out of 44. To get the rest you have to open your wallet or grind 10000 hours. Roughly 40k gold for a legendary, probably more for a new player that needs the other cards.

I don't hate the legendary system if done right. And I don't mean the essence cost but the fact that a lot of leggos took some core mechanic from a champ and then gave it back. Some are good and fun though like Ruckus third advance and Grohk ghost walk on death. More customization is good if done right.
>>169137370
Why are the cosmetics for this so shitty compared to smite? The ones in smite aren't even that great, but all the skins in paladins just look awful
>>169138167
The problem is that the playerbase is already dwindling, and this kind of system is just going to be a giant red flag to any new players. Parts of the dev team like the fucking manager for esports shit acting like nothing is wrong and lazily trying to damage control when confronted with advice from pro players only alienates said pro players because it shows how little they actually care
so how do I earn essence and what are the best legendary cards to pick up?
plz respond
>>169138651
buy founders pack
>>169138651
suck Drybear cock
>>169138651
You grind gold to buy radiant chests and if you are lucky you get one/can craft one every 40k gold
>>169138651
Best legendaries to get are fairly well explained here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUchIYwH4NI
Some decks I'd make some personal preference changes to, though. Like taking Lightning Rod on Maelstrom Grohk.
>>169138265
The legendaries, on paper, are actually great. More ways to enhance and define your playstyle and more meaningful customizations gameplay wise is always welcome.
The problems arise when they put down the methods for getting these cards.
First of all, Essence is absolutely fucking pointless. What is the need for a third currency? doesn't gold work just find for a way of achieving these cards? That, and the fact that the gold to essence ratio is atrocious. I don't have any exact numbers, but plenty of threads on leddit (sorry) lay down the math with the duplicate numbers and general RNG fuckery to show that you're gonna have to grind a shit ton if you want that one legendary you want. Not multiple legendaries, mind you. One.
The grind is multiplied into the fucking hell zone ESPECIALLY if you are a new player. The only way to get essence is if you have duplicates, and someone who just joined the game isn't gonna have a lot of gold to buy the Radiant chests, nor the essence to get that single legendary. Top that off with card rarity, with vital and arguably superior cards compared to the green's or blue's, then the new player is at a disadvantage compared to the already established player who has enough gold to buy the chests, and enough essence to buy the legendary or legendaries they want.
They could've just implemented legendaries with them only costing 5k gold or so - gold was reasonably easy to get, and you can easily get enough to buy a legendary in a gold.
But no. They had to implement the Essence system. They had to create a third currency JUST for cards. For what purpose?
The fucking money, man.
Remember guys this is the answer to all your complaints :)!
>>169139372
How to fix our current system entirely
>Legendaries are now unlocked at champion level 3,4 and 5.
>All cards now cost 500 Essence, Recycling cards gives you 200 Essence
BOOM. FUCKING. FIXED. Now you get legendaries (that are vital to have if they were at least balanced correctly) simply by playing the champion (and early at that, because I feel every player deserves to be on equal footing). Plus, cards will now be better to get from chests, BUT, if you want cards for a specific champion, you can still get that simply by playing the game and buying chests (albeit nowhere near as easily as before, as a single chest, 2500 gold would only amount to a single card)
The entire IDEA that a card should be "rarer" than another card is absolutely awful. Does that card have to be stronger then, is that what they're trying to get across? You want some cards to be straight up better in more situations than others?
No.
Get your revenue from selling fucking skins (or hell, letting people ACTUALLY BUY items from chests for twice or thrice the chests price, for example) instead of attempting to get people to spend money to unlock crucial and vital parts of creating good builds, which simply makes the damn game pay2win.
>>169139876
Especially since some of those legendary cards were just ripped from the character's default kit and set aside, like Damba's ult letting you do 20% more damage to those afflicted.
>>169085872
another game to the list
lmaoing @ the people who said locking leggies behind mastery is bullshit desu
>>169139372
>What is the need for a third currency?
The same as always - obfuscating the actual costs.
>>169131961
pip is taken
Can any anon that already opened chests post some data? Like how many leggos and essence you got after X chests. Also, how many cards you owned before the update.
>>169139372
See the silly thing is that it's not even a good P2W system. The ratio of essence earned to essence cost is so fucked up, that the 650 crystal worth for cosmetic sets can net you about 2 legendaries RANDOMLY, and maybe craft 1 legendary of your choice. Let that sink in for a moment.

-boring defense increase thats inferior to aegis
-might be ok if it also added something else, keep in mind it has to be good enough to stand up to bounce house. Maybe change it so that its another jump augment. Jumps damage is now doubled & resets if you kill someone with it. Obviously its base CD would increase with this card to make it balanced.
-the reason why its a shit legendary is that its boring as fuck. Make it interesting. Hell, they should give us a shell spin card. Hitting an enemy with spin now makes makoa ricochet off them & bounce to another enemy within range.

Did I pick the wrong time to return? Sounds like it's royally fucked and it's not getting unfucked any time soon.
>>169142132
Yes.
Give us two weeks to see if shit is unfucked,
if not, abandon ship.
Remember when taking the fast from Drogoz was the biggest fuck up
>>169142293
Now he has plenty of fast, but everything else is wrong.
>>169142132
Bugs are just bugs and can be fixed. The essence thing too if they are willing to lower the card costs.
>>169142132
>>169142210
Yeah, even Drybear didn't think it was good enough to actually start the new season fully, so it'll probably get some fixes.
I made a discord for a Paladins group of mine, any ideas for the icon? It can be cropped porn if you want.
>>169140467
6 legendaries in 71 chests, 79850 or so essence, don't know how many cards I owned
>>169142210
>>169142496
>>169142523
Gotcha, I'll give it some time then.
>>169142293
Remember when we panicked because they were taking 10% of damage from a skill or they added 1 extra sentence to a description.
Oh boy not even a week from this update and im already feeling nostalgic
>>169142583
Like 20k gold for a legendary card then. You only get to choose half of them though.
>cant use legos you dont have in training mode
>cant use legos you dont have in custom games
This is basic shit here, how are they this incompetent
So is this how it feels to be in a dying game? Even Reddit are angry. And they were worshiping the game this far.
>>169142583
with booster?
>>169143152
I think the casual dismissal of pro-player concerns was the nail in that particular coffin, really.
>>169143131
That sounds like a half decent idea anon, we can't have that
>>169143152
Yeh, and even the responses from someone of H-Rez show how they are.
>>169142547
kys
>>169143531
>>169143337
Tried to reply.
>>169143337
yes
>>169143531
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
So since Ying's default leggo is garbage, which of the other two is the good one I'm seeing mentioned?
>>169143942
Double healing
>>169143942
illusions blow up when they die or expire.
literally gives you a free shatter per illusion.
>Reddit is turning on prettyhair
lol(?)
>mfw pocket healing perma shield nando
>>169144398
Good
>>169144038
>>169144386
I feel like one of these two is tricking me.
>>169143942
double healing is pretty great because it makes ying's already good healing output even more insane, but I haven't used the other one yet so I can't really compare it
>>169144539
one is for healing extra people (good for teams where everyone is gonna be on point)
one is for extra damage on point (good for teams with 2 3 flankers)
its not rocket appliances anon
Friendly reminder that having no control over what cards you get is fucking retarded, and that new players WONT get essence at all when they open chests, SINCE THERE ARE NO.DUPLICATES FOR THEM TO GET ESSENCE FROM
Aka you want a card for a champion, but you don't have literally all the other cards so you can get 1/10 of the cards ordinary cost if you get a dupe? (also 10x worse if its an epic "rarity" card)
Well then TOO BAD, WALUIGI TIME
Even if they drop the essence cost to something like 10k, it will still be a shitty system. New players won't get essence at all because they don't have any cards and if they get some leggo dupes they still need to buy the normal cards that can cost up to 5k essence. From the anon who posted the data, it was something like 20k gold for a leggo but that's only if you can afford a booster and you already have enough cards to get duplicate essence.
For a new player it would be like 30k-40k for a leggo if RNG doesn't hate you and what's worse, you can't even choose the card so the chance to get an useful or even a card for a champ you like/own is very small.
>>169146423
Holy shit, you just RIPPED OFF my reply, like HiRez RIPPED OFF Overwatch!
>>169146528
10 seconds between posts,also mine is better, like Paladins > OW
>792k essence to buy every legendary out right now
>Another 468k to get them for the 13 champs HiRez plans to release this year
>Not even a founders pack plus all the chests from leveling every champ can supply anywhere near that much essence
>New players will have it way worse
Holy shit. I don't mind having to do a bit of grinding, but this is fucking stupid.
>be new
>do tutorial amd get some essence
>buy champion i want for decent and fair amount of coins
>find out you can use essence on cards for champs
>get a legendary and some cards
>level a few champs a bit, get 25 radiant chests
>find another champ i like more than the first one
>want to get all the cards for that champ
>realize i can only get cards for my champ by opening chests
>open my 25 chests, getting 2 cards for the champ i wanted and about 100 essence from some dupes
>tfw you realize you'll probably not get all cards for the champ you like unless you play for like 200 more hours
>>169147317
Don't forget the last step:
>drop the game because there's no way in hell you're dumping that much time for just ONE guy
I blame myself for this patch, I had stopped playing the closed beta around when they switched to the 9 points to win system+specialty cards were added, and once I finally come back, a week later they added that garbage again and somehow made them infinitely worse.
I'm so sorry /palg/
ALYSSA
SLAP DRYBEAR
PLS
Can I open my chests yet?
>>169144964
What, are you implying there's not an objectively way better one?
>>169148682
Don't forget that both of them have to deck PrettyHair.
>>169148895
lol
If you're gonna try and fuck new players so hard they'll never get the stuff they want and no new players join, try not to fuck THEM so hard that it spreads and you FUCK your already existant playerbase too, yeah?
It does't matter how much money you can potentially gain per customer IF NO ONE IS PLAYING YOUR FUCKING GAME
You could always just wait a month, the backlash will disappear... BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERS WILL ALREADY HAVE LEFT
>>169149449
Why are you randomly capitalizing words?
>>169149520
For EMPHASIS, obviously.
>>169148894
The answer will be no until a patch gets rolled out. And even then, the answer will be maybe at best.
>>169149520
I'm SOMETIMES capitalising WORDS, often even wrong ONES to try and emphasize WHAT my point IS
>still haven't gotten my chests
That was supposed to be the one good part of this update. Spend my free crystals on the booster, open a billion chests.
>>169143942
ying only has one leggo, its the one that casually just doubles your healing output making her easily the strongest healer in game.....cause balance.
>>169149815
that was literally the only good thing in this update and yeah i've yet to see it too
Wouldn't it be funny if they broke Barik by trying to change the text on his legendaries
>>169150387
I read that as "turrets are now overpowered."
>>169150387
Broke him while trying to figure out what his legendaries do.
>>169150180
A lot of damage dealers have gotten buffs too, so.
>>169150387
Oh shit, that reminds me. Did anyone bother to find out what exactly "enhance" and "empowered" do? While we're on the subject, did anyone at HiRez even figure out what they do?
>>169150780
I'm talking about Ying vs other supports healing.
Drybear warned us and we didn't listen!
>>169150795
Turrets got more health, damage and became hitscan
So not as good as Megaturrets
RIP
>>169150795
I know the turret one gives them 30 more damage and makes their shots land instantly instead of being slightly delayed, I really have to assume it does more but that's just what I noticed.
>>169151050
Its both funny & sad because you have to wonder if he's being genuine or not. If he really didnt know the backlash this essence grind would create, then he's just stupid.
actually curious to see how they'll shove all of this under the rug
i have little faith they'll fix this shit with drybear advertising fucking booster packs and prettyhair ACTUALLY DISMISSING a pro player's concerns with the legendary system with "hey hearthstone did it lmao" (goes to show how much he fucking cares) on twitter while everything is on fire
i can only watch now
When will the fucking chest rewards be fixed?
>>169151354
What's sure here is that Prettyhair won't be showing up on Patch Previews until the issue tides over, and Drybear might try to appease the masses by doing discount after discount.
Alternatively, they could just not give a fuck. After all, Lawman, Inara and Oracle are gonna show up on the next patch as soon as they fix this shit.
>>169151668
Well they should be working tomorrow, but I don't think they'll be completely fixed for at least a patch or two. They'll wait for the majority to use their chest before they make them better.
>>169151330
He alwasy looked like kind of disinterested and lost on the patch previews, I don't get how the lead designer can understand so little about "his" game.
>>169148682
Madness will do it. She's the hero we need.
>Prettyhair uses Hearthstone to justify the legendaries
>he streams HOTS every week
really tickles my thinker
>>169150387
>that shield card
if only it lasted more than a few seconds
>win first round
>barely lose next one
>skye spergs out because if she's not winning every round every time then the game is shit
>torvald memes everyone off the map at the last moment so we win
>skye says "I was wrong"
>evie asks if she was wrong about wyrm jets not being overpowered
kekking
the age of andro is here boys, get your dark stalker on before it's nerfed
>>169152171
its honestly baffling how they thought 18k for a leggo was ok. And even more confusing how they somehow thought "yeah lets just release this buggy mess without another pts cycle"
>>169150387
>hitscan turrets
I know what Im getting
>>169151969
I think the issue is that it's not really still his game. Look at how much it's changed since CB. These changes are trying to bring back a lot of the worst things they got rid of previously.
>shitting on some faggot
>suddenly pip heal for 2000
WHY IS THIS ALLOWED
>>169152960
it has double cooldown though. so hes fucked for a while
also
>not getting caut
just how new are you?
>>169153159
it doesn't, that was a typo.
>>169152503
>hitscan turrets
Where does it say that?
haven't played since OB39, apparently the game has gone to shit
just wanna see some drama and hi-rez damage control
>>169153238
youre mom gave birth to a typo
>>169153342
From the looks of things this is just going downhill from here on out.
Get popcorn.
>>169153834
Or they fix it. Not hard to make everything cheaper and refund essence.
>>169154768
The whole system is fucked.
It punishes new players, it punishes veteran players. There is no winning.
It's not a matter of making things cheaper, because fundamentally the thing is flawed.
They won't back out from it. Already spent too much resources on it. And well, you know, jewery etc.
Hey HiRez, I'm "Every Player". I like the idea of Legendaries, and I like that you get more gold now. But I don't like that I can't directly purchase cards for the champion I want, for some highly unknown reason
If you just made all cards cost 1200 gold and legendaries 5000 gold, then it would be nice and accessible, while still requiring a bit to obtain. Fixing all the bugs and reintroducing barik would be nice too.
It's not to late to realize your mistake, and make me, "Every Player" happy again.
>>169155680
DUDE JUST GRIND A LITTLE LMAO
I have to buy cards I already have (in loadouts made before the patch)
Is this a bug or they want me to spend essence
>>169155680
But how are you enjoying the fact that its a free game? This isnt a free world you commie shit. Hi-Rez need to make money somehow. And quite frankly they are being very generous to the community.
>>169156132
This is my favorite meme
So, is the thing where when you buy an item and it shows it as the wrong level in the scoreboard visual only, or is it more broken?
>>169156084
WHOA DUDE WHY YOU GOTTA BE SO ENTITLED JUST GRIND A LITTLE AND YOU'LL HAVE THEM BACK IN NO TIME
>>169156132
Gee I wonder who could be behind this post.
>>169156132
A sizable community keeps the game alive and the player that eventually buy something happier, gl with your ded gaem.
>>169156132
FUCK CAPITALISM.
AND _!_!_FUCK_!_!_ TRUMP.

YES THANK YOU MY DUDE FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS US

>tfw no more codes from alyssa
>Be Drogoz main

Time to find a new game
>>169156132
They need to make money intelligently, which is what their competitors have been doing while HiRez picked up and suplexed 2 IPs into the dirt, and seem eager to give a third the tombstone piledriver.
There's a very profitable and fine line between "too free" and "not free enough". Games like Warframe live in that line, and make a buttload of money in so doing.
>>169156757
>get wyrm jets + nimble
>chase and kill maeves instead of the other way around
>>169156757
But Drogoz is amazing right now?
>>169156765
>Games like Warframe live in that line
paladins is actually good though
>>169156843
nimble does nothing for drogoz - just fyi
I feel like another thread would be a joke after this patch.
>>169157143
No, it makes him able to stay speedy even on the ground. Though I don't know why you would take that over chronos for salvo spit spam or morale boost to fuck with the tanks a lot
>>169157345
So, we need one?
>>169156857
Most Hitscan characters just delete drogoz now. If I recall correctly, viktor has 2k dps with Damage Legendary. You die in 1.25 seconds. (In close range, he outdamges you by such a large margin you shouldn't even try) Kinessa can knock you down to 100 health with one shot. Androxus shits all over Drogoz with the HS boost. I mean, you're trying to land slow moving projectiles while he has hitscan
Against competent players you just get shit on over and over.
>>169157423
Let it die, my man.
Season 1 was a mistake.
>>169156132
Well, as an old player, I realize that spending any form of crystals on Radiant chests now that they are purchaseable with gold is a waste, so there goes one way to get players to buy crystals with this new system.
Then there's boosters, but since you have 0 control over what cards you get, and need to get duplicates in order to get a tenth of a card cost, I realize that even with "3 times more essence per hour!" the likelyhood of getting the card i want is 3/650 or so per chest I open, and that I only get a miniscule amount of essence even if I do get dupes (instead of new cards for a champion ill never use), as well as the fact that you need to have a ton of cards already to even get dupes, makes boosters unappealing as well.
So basically, they made a shitty grind system no one wanted with no.way to pay yourself out that isn't absolutely ridiculously expensive to the point where not even whales will go for it.
The only way to get essence is dupes, you can only get 3 random cards per chest, and even if you get dupes you still need a ton of essence for certain cards. This is what you have to go through to get the card you want, and with the amount of essence gotten being practically random based on cards already owned, there's very, very little reason to spend any crystals at all to try and MAYBE geet the cards you want
>>169157358
>it makes him able to stay speedy even on the ground.
no. hes so slow that the percentage increase of nimble does barely anything
>>169157546
>dying
NOT YET, AMIGO
So its decided.
No new thread until 44 is fixed
>>169157014
I'm not talking gameplay here. I'm in the thread because I enjoy that gameplay, no? I'm talking business model.
Warframe (to use it again as an example) is a super jewy game in a lot of respects, most notably (in my opinion) limited weapon and warframe slots which can only be purchased with premium currency. However, WF allows you to, through the player economy, trade your rare (or not-so-rare) parts into that same premium currency, so a smart/savvy player never really feels squeezed for cash. Casual player trade for parts, serious players get premium currency filtered through to them by these trades.
Obviously, that example only works for Warframe, and not for Paladins, but it serves as an example of how a game can be F2P (and possibly even P2W) without requiring a monstrous time commitment on the behalf of free/serious players.
so this is the update that kills Paladins?
>>169158205
You mean, new thread right now?
>>169158205
but I'll you miss you fags.
>>169158258
Finally I'll be able to get back to my other games.
>>169158267
Do it. We clearly haven't finished complaining about how everything is ruined.
>>169156132
There is nothing generous about getting radiant chests now. That's like saying you want an Xbox One, so your parents give you 400$ worth of lottery tickets and get mad when you only won 30 dollars with them
>make thing worse for no apparent reason
>fix it
>???
>profit
Is hi-rez running for pres?
>>169158839
Do it here: >>169159548
honestly i dont have a problem witth the legendaries, they need to turn a profit to keep the servers running let alone keep developing the game.
the main problem i have with the game are the hackers. games riddled with em.
as well as the hitboxes being ridiculous.
as well as drogoz, who has the most predictable weapons, also having extremely predictable movement.
>try to run the game
>game closes done when it finishes loading
What did Hi-Rez mean by this? I can't get my daily login FUCK
