drat minions do a ton more damage now, eh.

Why did they nerf Murdock's ult, that really sucks.

Where can we find lore on the characters?

if inhibs no longer respawn, losing one is basically gg. there's not reliable enough wave clear right now.

Pretty sure you can have them respawn if you return the OP Orb to your own turn in point.. I don't think it's in the patch notes but they discussed it in the meta change blog. When an inhib is down it will no longer push a full wave of super creeps towards you, instead it'll be a normal wave with 1 super creep. After the game reaches 40 min + then the waves will have 2 super creeps while inhib is down. ( I think this is like LoL )

But you may be right because it's easy for a maxed out ADC to solo the core 100%-0

EDIT: I just read some clarification that with the v27 patch inhibs will not respawn and the orb activation is something they may implement in the future.

Yeah I'm really not too stoked on the inhibitor changes. I've had quite a few games where I faced a demonstrably better team that was outplaying mine basically the entire game only to force an inhibitor down and eventually sneak in 1-2 carries/rangers who turned the core inside out in no time flat. I mean obviously it's designed to shorten round lengths which is welcome because I too only tend to be able to stomach 1-2 matches of this game per day only because of the sheer length of each. I'd say 30 minutes should be the average, which I think is their goal because of the additional penalty of gaining an extra super minion per wav, we'll see. Really stoked to finally play riktor and steel with fighter-style damage scaling. Maybe now my ultimate will kill people.

It just makes the laning phase (which we'll actually have now) more important and it'll punish people for wrong/bad decisions. Travel mode is still in after this update so rotating will be normal. Having fed ADCs will now depend more upon personal skill and last hitting since they're removing shared CXP... no more 5 man roams for the first 4-6 min of a game. Gotta learn to CS!

I too am also looking forward to the new scaling on all heros, going to put a whole new twist on things!

New patch went live today! I, for one, LOVE the Dekker updates, especially because enemies get sucked into her Containment Fence and allies can walk out now.

Anyone else have any thoughts about the patch?

Suddenly excited for this game again. Looks like the patch removes a lot of the drawn out poo poo that made games linger on for nearly an hour and rounds out the CXP gains a little better. At least one can hope. I'll have to hop back in and see if it's noticeably improved.

Funny you should ask. A ton of Paragon news just dropped today.

First, there are some big changes coming down the pipe next week. Draft mode, inhibitors that no longer respawn, a bunch of minion tweaks, wide ranging hero ability tweaks and different CXP sharing, among a ton of other stuff, will all go live next week. And there are some HUGE Kallari changes; she's practically a different character now.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jw7eub4ySlY

Also, and this is huge to me because I use it all the time, Murdock's ult can barely clear minion waves anymore, though it DOES now have global reach as opposed to just cross-lane. It's in the patch notes here:

https://www.epicgames.com/paragon/blog/introducing-draft-mode-all-heroes-rebalanced-cp-distribution-changes

In addition to those changes, there are more changes coming later on down the line, including no more travel mode, a teleport mechanic and anti-deathball mechanics:

https://www.epicgames.com/paragon/blog/committing-to-change-the-future-of-our-meta

Also, the Free Open Beta starts August 15th:

And finally, KHAIMERA IS COMING TO WRECK YOUR poo poo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usjVZz2cScg


thanks dude!

that sounds really really promising

i had stopped playing because there were just too many minions to deal with and the spawn timer and the wave timer were ridiculous, it practically punished split pushing. This sounds interesting and Im glad they're paying attention to adjusting the minions.

Im cautious on Kallari but i remember that eventually people just kinda dunked on her a lot so having a longer stealth is beneficial to her farming. Might just fire it up

Dekker is my favorite so that sounds cool, pretty much like Odin's ult from Smite but with a pull.

Pretty proud of how this team fight turned out. I'm the Dekker and my coworker is Rampage.

The game was a slog and largely at a standstill for a long time. The enemy team got orb and tried to dunk it, but we cut them off, I penned them and all hell broke loose. We killed the entire team, dunked the orb and proceeded to take out two of their inhibitors.

Any of you guys have trouble getting the game to work on PC after buying it for playstation? I linked my PSN account to my epic games account but I'm still prompted to buy the game from the launcher on PC.

I did download and install it on PS4; can I only have one copy per purchase?

I read somewhere that you have to run the game once on the PlayStation before it will unlock for your Epic account on PC.

I do wish the matches were a bit shorter though.

I still like a lot of this game. but yeah the long match times kill me. I can't really do much practice with different characters since I really end up only doing one match a day.

Favorite Heroes: Howitzer and the Fey, yeah I like casters. Narbrash looks mechanically to be a big green ogre version of lucio from Overwatch, And I like Lucio!

Card builds, not sure. The official forums used to have some, and some guy on youtube has some build guides as well. That said, since cards are luck based you will still end up having to make up half your deck yourself unless you are lucky enough to have all the same cards they used.

Finally got around to giving this a shot and it seems ok?

They give ya all the heroes with some minimal gating but the progression stuff seems awkward, you're effectively building an item pool to work with ingame. And you can choose to cripple yourself going in with basically nothing. I maybe less comfortable with how the cards are handled since you're getting them in random packs with no crafting option.

I generally find some things less than easy to understand in this game, it took me a while to work out how the item slotting onto cards works. Worked it out eventually though, and I played a game as Murdock and after a short period of time being stomped, I six-slotted myself and started blowing dudes up. It was really fun.

Only really tried Gideon, Murdock and Gadget so far.
