Apparently they're actually listening pretty closely to feedback and they completely nixxed one of the cornerstones that they were selling this game on, because people didn't give a poo poo about it?

What was it? I don't know anything about the development.

I looked around, they moved from a totally random draw of potential cards (from all the cards you RNG-boxed) for a character each time you leveled, to building decks that you just automatically draw a certain card from at certain levels within a match. It's a way better way to handle it without losing the neat deck aspect.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but in one patch they took out a popular game mode (payload) and replaced it with a domination style mode. People were pretty upset over it and in the next patch they kept domination but they also brought back payload in a different playlist. I may have the modes mixed up but, yeah, it seems like they really are listening.

EDIT: Keys sent.

so this game sorta feels like trash right now, but also in that old game "everything is stupid but in a cool way", uh, way. except not everything because some characters really feel like poo poo compared to others and the sniper and assassin lady feel insanely strong once you have actual FPS people who can track a moving target playing them. i dont think ive ever had issues killing fernando except when i'm stupid and play the tree guy who seems like total rear end and dies really fast (hooking onto battlements is cool but the payoff is rarely worth it) still its sorta neat, the concept of burn cards is cool though i feel like i'm missing something since it doesnt seem like you can buy them while on offense on Payload/Capture maps since you don't actually respawn in your spawn room.

my only real gripe other than the aforementioned heroes is that big characters (tree guy, fernando, ruckus) get stuck in hallways a lot and getting stuck on geometry happens pretty often. chokepoints in general feel very tight, especially with the payload taking up a good 50% of it (that there are characters who literally cannot walk around a payload in a choke is real stupid).

I like how just about everyone who plays this game is garbage at it, me especially, and that makes it fun. Zooming around on Ying and mashing F, Q and right click is super rad, especially after ulting.I got no idea where I'm gonna end up and then I see 400 400 400 400 400 and I'm like coool *mash mash mash*

Fernando is just unbeatable. Don't know how you guys are carrying a team as a dps when you can just stop the payload forever as that tank.

There's certain characters that eat Fernando for breakfast, Cassie, Kinessa, and Pip probably being the big ones. He's super good, especially with perma-speed thanks to the new patch, but hardly insurmountable. The scariest things in the game for me right now are honestly Skye and Barik's new turret. Also Buck is still awful.

So for a quick run of Patch #26.

They have redone the announcer voice.
You can now purchase specific cards instead of random rolling for them.
The end-of-match lobby page has been fully updated to better show Experience progress. It now also includes match accolades awarding you for great play. We will be continuing to improve this page.

The character select screen looks different.

Temple Ruins and Enchanted Forest have now been reduced in size.
*NEW* Skirmish Arena - A single point Survival map.

Champions now have new portrait art.

The in-game music has been completely updated.

The Health bar above players during a match has been updated to better reflect the maximum amount of Health that player has.

That's just a rough read over.

I didn't like Overwatch much when I played it briefly, installed this game for free today and it owns big time. It's a little cheesy, very simple and flashy, the interface (and the hero unlock system, skin buying etc) is all much more like League than it is like Dota. But it's free, so I expected it.

Also we not only can do referrals for something like a week after a person begins, but you actually get a bunch of bonus coins for every hour you play together. Definitely a good goon game, someone less lazy than I am should make a Steam group and if they don't, I will

Did you buy the unlock everything bundle or grind him out? I am thinking of buying it while it's only 13 bucks, but then I wonder what I do with all this gold? Seems like the only thing gold does is unlock heroes

Also a dumb rear end group is up because no one else made one for me, as promised!

Blizzard is the company who sued Valve for using characters a guy who works for Valve designed while making a free mod for a Blizzard game, a Blizzard game which stole most of it's ideas directly from Warhammer and Tolkien. What I'm saying is this: It is at least as legal as The WLich King

You're right, just didn't try him yet. Unlocked the tree man, and I can confirm he owns

Also the client of this game is good, the only menu that sucks is the social panel so make sure to add each other in game several times til it works, and if you refer each other or me, you also get bonus coins and eventually crystals the more hours you play with that person.

Current in game name is LONGBEARD add me goons

I'm actually surprised at how good this game is, I thought it looked like garbage.


In my limited experience the player base is toxic, but hilariously so and it's kinda fun to see people raging in chat about how bad their team is while they also are really bad.


e: also yeah it's very Overwatch-y but Overwatch is basically just TF2 with Ults, everything is derivative of something else these days (and probably always has been).

It's pretty clear that no one who plays this has ever played an FPS before, but that makes it sorta fun to stomp around in. The actual mechanics are super fun though and I hope the game does well.

thank you for this :lol:

i will say that this game definitely has a different feel than overwatch, though. you can see the influence and iteration that they are building on, going from the top-down RTS-style MOBA, to Smite, and now to this more action-game-oriented style.

Well if that level of inspiration were legally applicable the MOBA bubble would have collapsed under the weight of a trillion lawsuits, rather than the weight of two dozen lovely games, cause basically everyone stole everything from DotA, and now everyone steals everything from League.

Barik is bad. Fernando is a bit broken and Sky's special strike should probably be nerfed too. Pubbies continue to impress me with how awful they are. Also I did not know that Hi-Rez were the ones behind Global Agenda. GA owned tons and actually worked pretty well as a F2P shooter.

I haven't tried all the heroes but the formula that is true is that the most important thing is a team mate pick Fernando and know how to hold the shield up while we capture. Then and only then, I can pick the Tree Man and hatchet the poo poo out of people while mass healing my team. What's your in game name?

Oh I was literally just looking for this thread five minutes ago. Neat game, surprised I already have most champions but I guess that happens when you unlock 5 through giveaways.

Fernando is too beefy, assassin elf is far too good, Barik's blunderbuss is loving garbage and sniper chick is infinitely superior to archer chick but other than that game is pretty solid.
