Syrinxx posted:Grabbed the founder pack on PS4. Unreal Tournament is a high speed fragathon so I went into this game expecting something similar but it's soooooo slow. It's like playing a game in molasses. Graphically and design-wise it's pretty cool and the card mechanic appeals to me even though I am scared it will mean serious imbalance for free players. It needs other game modes badly as the 40+ minute slogs are so tiresome in MOBAs now. I felt the same way. I love the new UT. this ended up being a complete 180 away from everything great about it =/ Try Battleborn, I thought it would be junk, but I ended up liking it a whole lot. A good mix.

Rock Sanchez, what does epic have against letting me run their games through steam? If I add the shortcuts as non-steam games, and try to launch them, they just close. If its not in steam I often forget I even have it installed.

I can't say for sure and I can't speak for Epic (not my department), but I'm guessing because they have their own game launcher? I can ask around next week if you'd like.

Nothing like starting a game and losing two teammates within 10 minutes, never to be heard from again. Probably rage quit because we had a crappy Sevarog. That was a blast. Also I sniped a Kallari as she was running up the stairs to heal. I felt bad, but mostly felt awesome. http://imgur.com/y8UACkI

I have a spare code for this if anybody wants it: ASLDT-NA93G-K(36*22)L-T2YQ6 Epic is giving double XP and letting people who signed up for the beta play this weekend (starting noon today). It's a good time to start! I'm almost level 9 on Muriel, hoping to get my master skin this weekend.

Yep, new character. Welcome Grim.exe to the Paragon family! He's crazy fun to play as and, as you can see, can counter attacks BIG TIME with his shield. Thank god, because something needs to counter Rampage's stupid boulder. Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo-DMLGXOF4 Rick Sanchez fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 5, 2016 |

He looks really interesting, and I really like Paragon, but it just doesn't feel... right.... The only things I can quantify that feel off are movement is slow, pacing is slow, but then time to kill is really short, if you get engaged your pretty much done for, and balance still seems terrible, Feng is crazy powerful and seems to wreck everyone...

Been playing this game during the recent open betas and it's been quite fun. For an early access game, it already feels very smooth control-wise and I like the aesthetic and VFX. However, as has been pointed out, there isn't much at the moment to make it stand out from the competition. I've only recently gotten into MOBAs and the number one thing I've enjoyed as a casual player is the recent additions that MOBAs have been making to create a friendlier environment. They're not perfect, but games like Battleborn with more actiony and fast combat that could be mistaken for just being an FPS, or Smite which offers game modes that have a significantly reduced time commitment and pressure like Arena/Clash, or HotS with has less knowledge needed in entry due to the elimination of items/equipment, have done a lot for me in reducing the toxicity. So right now Paragon seems pretty behind-the-times for me due to the fact that it's back to hour-long matches with a slow pace and confusing mechanics like harvesters and items. If anything, I'd want Paragon to be like a triforce of the best elements of those three games, and I think it would fit the aesthetic they're going for. It's still really early in development so I might be mistaken about a lot of things: maybe they are planning on introducing more modes or increasing speed or reducing time commitment for matches or etc. And just because I want it to be more casual/less toxic doesn't mean they should make it so; that might just not be what they are going for and you can't please everyone. But I would like Paragon to do something really fancy because I think they have some great groundwork. I want something that revolutionizes the MOBA genre instead of just making a MOBA that's got a camera over the player's shoulder and looks pretty.

Not really as of now, maybe because this stuff is still in flux a little? I wouldn't be surprised if Epic put something more comprehensive together once the game officially launches. But if not I'm sure someone else will at some point. The best answer I can give you about armor is every hero starts with a small amount of physical and energy armor, but to really stand up to any damage both need to be built with cards. Here's a tiny screenshot I found of the in-game card shop where you can see the character, whoever it is, has 9 energy armor and 9 physical armor before upgrading anything:  To your other point, there's no difference between energy/physical pen and "shredding" armor, it's just a different way to say the same thing. I'm guessing you're referring to the GRIM.exe Abilities pic I posted a few days ago? Rick Sanchez fucked around with this message at 05:29 on May 14, 2016 |

i've noticed that stacking pen doesn't have effect past some point - for example, stacking energy pen immediately on grim doesn't seem to increase his damage at all (ie, level one right click doesn't go above 40 damage w/out energy damage but with energy pen); that's why i asked about starting levels of armor. either way, i'm sure this stuff will become more obvious as time goes on ps: sent you a friend request as superfivefive.

Well you can't penetrate energy armor with any real effectiveness until someone has added it in the first place, so stacking energy pen early won't help you. Energy/physical pen is something you'd want to add mid/late game since those cards won't really be in place on the opposing team until then. Early game I'd build a little minor cast and kinetic on GRIM, then start building major cast and crit through mid game. If you want to begin building energy pen then you could, but generally I'd recommend simply building more cast and crit on him. Armor penetration only does you any real good if you KNOW the opposing team is building energy armor, so keep and eye on what they're building each time you recall to base to know what you should upgrade yourself. If a tank is going heavy in the energy armor to counter you then energy pen will really screw them up, but overall cast damage and crit will serve you well in most scenarios.

I have to say I have plenty of lifesteal equipment cards and I've decided in the last few days to take them off my GRIM build just because I think they complicate things; I think straight damage/speed/crit, like I do with Murdock, is the way to go most of the time (that and playing smart as possible without getting ganked). To your second point: I can't agree more. Obviously I can't disclose any specifics, but I'm happy to say that the character designs coming up in the near future are just as interesting and fun and I can't wait to see what you goons think. It's also really great to be on this side of development, what with seeing the characters grow and change and whatnot. The teams here at Epic are so focused on a quality product it's ridiculous, so I know they'll constantly be tweaking things here and there to make sure they give you the best experience possible. I know I sound like a corporate plant, but I promise I'm not. Not, at least, until Epic pays me more to be one

The pacing is the same as dota or lol (match is 30 minutes), but the game is actually really beautiful and the card system is ok. Where the fleece you is the mastery system actually, if you don<t have it, it slow down your level progression.

Yeah, I get saying the game is slow, each until his own and all, but ugly is not a word I've heard used to describe Paragon, even when people don't like the game. And they really aren't charging for much; you can't pay to win at all, even for cards.

I played a little bit of Smite and thought it was okay, seemed like a huge investment to learn the skill trees, etc. Paragon however I've been having a blast with. I guess maybe I just have to accept I like brown better. Byolante posted:Maybe its not as ugly now as it was early on during the NDA period.

It looked awful and despite being somewhat intrigued by the gameplay, I more or less dismissed it. They recently had a 50% off sale though, so I decided  was worth it. Still a little rough around the edges, but they've made vast improvements. It looks nothing like it did a couple of months ago.

After putting in ~15 hours or so, I don't have much to complain about. Matches definitely need to be sped up. I'd certainly play this a lot more if the average game took 25 minutes instead of 35-40.
