Seems like this’ll be all the champs that will be balanced in their mid year balance thingy (i forgot what its called). They showed us 5 of it in the patch preview.

Edit: oh wait the patch notes for the full balance changes was with the pic i saved. link

Either u/HiRezChrisL was confused, or he's just suddenly decided there's going to be a sale and the page that u/HiRezAlyssa was referencing hasn't been updated yet.

Can one of you two please clarify?

What a shocker!

I would have blocked you aswell. Dont be a child. No one here is a fan of Cards Unbound but insulting people not in charge of the balance changes will only lead to the opposite.

For those who are uninformed, theres currently a contest for making player avatar/icon.

Here are my own (full sized) submission :)

Will send the 96x96 ver later to them.

Hey! That post was passed on for people to check out. It’s also important to note that there will be a level requirement of 10 to send gifts per patch notes.

Those are skin concepts drawn by <strong>u/MoberRPG</strong> (Mad Raider Evie) and vk.com/public169251422 (Apocalypse Grover). And yes, this is a fanart for fan skins

explanation for mal damba is simply - gourd currently has way bigger range than the visual shows, it's bugged

look at his damage numbers, it's caused precisely because his gourd is now like a huuuge fire spit that people can't escape from https://vgy.me/tHlG0c.png

as for terminus, he's a very tanky tank that other tanks can't 1v1, wrecker doesn't help against him, and he only needs a decent healer to be near unstoppable (literally just stacking damage reduction + healing increase is enough to do wonders for him)

They really have been. But people have mostly stomped on those statements, considering them corporate bullshit, or just flat-out lies.

>Essence was confusing for new players

>Got deckbuilding anxiety? Don’t worry

>We’re moving forward with this system because we believe it will make the game better for all of our players

>The vast majority of our players will never spend a dime. Regardless of how much money you have in your wallet, we want to make sure you have a great time. Our number one priority as we introduce Cards Unbound is that the free-to-play experience feels great

Now, I'm not saying that the system is good for players, or less P2W, or anything like that. I just want to point out that Hi-Rez has been trying to explain that this system was specifically designed to make the game more welcoming to new players and boost player retention ("It’s Actually Fun Now"), and they deliberately made steps to make it not look like a cash grab.

While I personally did roll my eyes at the game mode when it was announced, this article really irks me because calling it "shameless" just seems it's trying to attract attention to the article seeing how Paladins itself is relatively small. Paladins did have a fog-enclosing survival game mode years ago, and it's at least trying something new with it being a ability based and mount-based mode.

The exact author also wrote this :https://kotaku.com/fortnites-battle-royale-is-a-delight-and-a-whole-lot-l-1818811343 article about fortnite, constantly mentioning how it's similar to PUBG but yet praising the game. The Battle Royal game mode is turning into a genre, and i expect many more games to come up with a mode like this, but this author is kinda just riding the Paladins bad promotion train. Many people called fortnite shameless for adding the mode, and now many people think it's boatloads better than PUBG. Though Battlegrounds may not be a good name, it isn't really that bad considering they probably based it off Smite which has the name: "battleground of the gods."

I've heard many opinions on them. Some people say it's Realm Alpha, hence the theme of Realm Alpha being an 'alternate universe'. Others say it's the Shattered Desert, a landmark mentioned in the Fire and Ice lore (https://www.paladins.com/lore) which is something got to do with a shattered moon, which could possibly play a major role in upcoming lore/events.

I thought I remeber reading a newspost about it when they made the update that it and the kill cam was causing problems with each new hero they added, and that it was doubling dev time as they were having issues with it keeping track and playing back vs actual gameplay.

https://www.paladins.com/news/dev-blog-removing-killcam-and-top-play

Yes, we are missing that! I'm working on it right now, a lot of us took yesterday off after working all weekend at HRX!

Black Friday Sales just began yesterday, and it's a week of incredible deals. You can check in game to figure out the day to day deals on chests, but check out our week-long sales here: https://www.paladins.com/news/black-friday-sales-nov-19-nov-26

(Also, I'm never the wrong person to tag. If I don't know the answer I can normally find out for you)

Taken from the Official News Post!: "Therefore, upon the initial release of Cards Unbound, there will be no way to directly purchase Radiant Chests or Champion Card Chests with Crystals; they may only be unlocked via Gold or playing the game. We expect to allow Crystal purchases of those same Card Chests in OB65, but we may delay this."

Remember the old Stay at home dad Barik meme? Well it has been destroyed by the ultimate Waifu Barik, Hanyuu from Vk/playpaladins

As much as I enjoy the game, I agree. Seems like they pulled the word out of the thesaurus.

I tuned into a streamer link last night that was off their esports news page, regarding the tournaments this weekend. It linked me to a livestream of some lady streaming some competitive.

She made it all the way to champ select before she got the psychadelic bug, had to restart the game and join the match late.

It's like pubg all over again. Esports ready™ boys

P. S. The posts below are early works and are not considered.

Category "A piece of Lore"!

Today we have - Viktor.

• Viktor is Strix’s best friend or at least enjoys his respect and he turns to him “Sir”;

• The Lord Khan, who is canonical, trusts Viktor in the team work.

• “In the past, Viktor was highly respected by the Magistrate warriors and hung on Magistrate's propaganda posters.”

• The man was the commander of the already former elite Squadron squad, in which Strix, Buck, Tyra and Kinessa were located (the latter only learned the skill from Strix).

• Viktor failed the last task of the detachment, which is why Grand Master Karne deprived him of all his ranks and sent him to a minor position.

• As for the cause of the failure, the task most likely failed due to the attack of Gorlockov. As Lian says in the murder of Viktor: "You've ran from Gorlocks, you should've ran from me!"" Gorlock, most likely, are local species of bears, one of which hangs on Tyra's back: "I killed Gorlock with my bare hands!".

• Lian does not respect Viktor very much: “You are not a leader, you are just an infantryman. Ha, consumable.

• The new image of Viktor, most likely, is his appearance on arrival at Magistrate for the first time.

SOURCE (Russian Page)

Hrmm.. No announcements over the discord and nothing on twitter either (as far as I could find), this patch also had some issues with incorrect prices being displayed so there's a chance it's just a visual bug.

It is however on the main site.

Likely an unannounced sale for black friday that hasn't been fully implemented on steam yet. I'd just wait a few hours before buying.

> I just turned on " Mouse Smoothing " or somethin

Thats a setting you never turn on if u ever want to get better with aiming.

It runins muscle memory and very negatively impacts your aim.

My 3 suggestions are

• Get a large mousepad

https://www.amazon.com/Choice-Patterns-Computer-Desktop-Accessories/dp/B07QQVNSPX/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=red+gear+mouse+pad&amp;qid=1569742702&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-2

• Turn off mouse smoothing off

• Try to master aiming with arm instead of wrist

or

Combine both and go for arm aim for large movement and wrist aim for precise aim

> • What's the point of removing 'Death and Taxes and 'Sapper Rounds' when they can pick both caut and wrecker now?

The general reasoning for the removal behind talents like Death & Taxes and Sapper Rounds is as follows:

>"Developer Commentary: One of the important aspects of Paladins’ fun is the flow of each match. Players start fairly durable, but as offensive item shop picks come online, aspects like tankiness and healing are diminished and lead to more intense final moments. Cards and Talents that circumvent this disrupt the flow and lead to unnatural moments of weakness early on that persist throughout the entire game."

Source | 2.01 Patch Notes

> • Why removed 'Firefight' when Tyra and Vivian both have bonus damage?

We don't know the reasoning, but it might just be because Firefight was probably the least rewarding talent Viktor has. Its just a mindless damage buff. To be fair, Vivian has this as well, but she at least has to fire continiously for 2 seconds whilst Viktor needs only not use Ironsights, and Tyra's damage buff is only against marked targets. That being said, Vivian needs Opportunity in Chaos removed because its boring and uninspired, and Tyra should probably have her marks (at least with Hunting Party) nerfed because they're pretty damn crazy.

https://www.paladins.com/matchmaking-faq/

that will tell you everything you need to know.

One thing I'd like to note on

>When will the game be out of beta? I think we have the right to know.

Developers aren't big on giving hard or even soft dead lines to the public. Sometimes they're not even sure and the last thing you want to do is make a promise you can't keep. So unless they're really really really 100% positive nothing can go wrong at all, they won't give dates.

It puts an necessary stress on the game and the back lash isn't worth it. It's why most devs don't do road maps.

The head and body are rewards for playing 10 hours with a referred friend.

The weapon and voice pack unlock when you get 3 referred friends to reach level 15. (vp isn't listed but is from when we split up skins)

https://www.paladins.com/refer-a-friend/

The way the Season Ticket works in Smite is that you can get points by playing, just like you get VIP points right now. When you get enough points you unlock a tier with a reward assigned to that tier. The more points you earn, the more rewards you get.

You also have the option to buy into the Season Ticket. This is a one-time purchase and lasts for the entire season. You get some rewards up-front and you will also get points faster. At least this is how it worked in season 3. It's not very different from the current VIP system.

EDIT: Just did some research and it looks like Smite also has a "VIP store" with their Season Ticket for season 5. I have no idea how it works so i'm not going to comment on that.

EDIT 2: https://www.smitegame.com/season-ticket-2018

Recently they updated their ban policy so hopefully this changes things where they will take action on players who violate the rules

https://www.paladins.com/news/developer-update-may-2021-suspension-ban-policy-update

> Content updates will hit about every six weeks. These will be BIG - think new Champions or events (or both!) every single update. Paladins will still update approximately every two weeks, but these updates will focus on balance, polish, addressing outstanding bugs, etc, with most of the content saved for the large patches.

Also, they did fixed a lot of bugs: https://www.paladins.com/news/1-1-update-notes-rise-of-furia

Yes, we have to wait another 2 weeks for a possible Cassie/Maeve nerf, but that doesn't mean that we have to disparage their good work on this update.

There's a video with a TL:DR;, there's a massive blog post, the written patch notes still haven't been released, and there's a developer Q&A happening here in twenty-five minutes.

https://www.paladins.com/paladins-community-skin-project-phase-2/

"After Dreamhack, our team will get to work turning that concept into reality. Once completed, The Community Skin will be available as part of a special Fall event!"

Yo! check it :D

Been loving this app, the ability to build decks with it was added semi-recently and it does a fantastic job at keeping up to date. It's not an "official" app or anything so you can't save the decks in-game (you'll need to manually build them in game later) but it's incredibly useful for me. Totally worth a look.

Weekend Event: Finishing final testing on our weekend event now! Should have more info tomorrow :)

Weekly Wisdom with the Design Team: If you're struggling with Barik try switching up his loadout. Barik has a multitude of defensive options such as Bowling Ball, which grants Barik a shield on use of Rocket Boots. That extra shield can go a long way to helping you survive!

Not right now, but the next patch will introduce some changes to the card system, basically limiting your progress to chest RNG. And also, a huge amount of loadout customization will be removed from ranked. Go here for more details.

Great advice. Regarding OP's experience, it sounds like Variance at play. Essentially, after losing a bunch (or perhaps lack of data if they don't have a lot of games on record), the system becomes confident they are not where they belong.

So their MMR drops and the swings up or down are bigger. As they are losses, it's a big drop down. As they start to win, lose, win lose, the system sees the performance is at the expected level and thus both gains and losses become smaller (this coincides with having 20 more games worth of data and thus more confidence).

Were they to win more (or win versus teams the system expects them to lose to) the system would see that and lose confidence in the assessed level perhaps opening the opportunity to advance quicker or even be promoted multiple ranks upon reaching 100 TP.

The same mechanics that allow for a hard drop down also allow for a quick climb up. Because of the way TP interacts with everything, climbing is arguably the easiest it has ever been. Though a player needs to maintain that performance to actually stay there.

Bad luck can absolutely occur and everyone faces the same odds, the same chances of having bad players on their team. But the system is built to account for that and outside of specific regions at specific times, most of the players on most platforms will end up where they belong if they keep at it and follow good practices like those you've mentioned.

I've linked this around quite a bit, but it never hurts to drop it again for anyone who missed it: https://www.paladins.com/matchmaking-faq/

• See here for this community's opinion of which Champs are OP or not.
• See here for free skins curtesy of Hi-Rez.
• Add a referrer. The rewards add up really quickly.
• NEVER EVER buy Aggression.
• Use the import feature to search the leaderboards and import the decks that the best players in the world use.
• This game is more of a MOBA than a Shooter, that means you can't be a lone wolf and survive. It's all about teamwork.

I don't get why you think the name of the game should be what the characters are called. League of Legends isn't called "Champions", Smite isn't called "Gods", etc. Paladins and champions are pretty much synonymous with each other anyways, even thesaurus.com has them as synonyms: http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/paladin?s=t

"The Hunt, an initiative focused on QoL, bug fixes, and polish, will introduce new improvements to Paladins every update. The Hunt’s mission is simple: We want to end 2019 with Paladins in a better state than it’s ever been before."

He does not mean there is one singular bug in the game. He means they take The (Bug) Hunt seriously. Just missed some capitalization.

Yes! We're shooting for 1.2 to release on all Platforms on the 27th.

1.2 will contain all the content from 1.1 as well as everything new you can find in our Update Notes: https://www.paladins.com/news/1-2-update-notes

• Therefore, upon the initial release of Cards Unbound, there will be no way to directly purchase Radiant Chests or Champion Card Chests with Crystals; they may only be unlocked via Gold or playing the game. We expect to allow Crystal purchases of those same Card Chests in OB65, but we may delay this.*

The whole reason the “China Market” rumor has any foothold was because of above

At a glance, the system appears to allow “P2W” in the form of higher card levels

The link I referenced is from their official website: https://www.paladins.com/cardsunbound/

>What makes you win/lose more TP

As far as I know, nothing that you can really control.

It seems to be based on the hidden ratings of yourself and your opponents. If the matchmaker favors you and your team to win a game and you end up losing, you lose a higher amount of TP - If it expects you to lose and you win, you win a higher amount of TP. If it expects you to lose based on your current opponents and you do lose, your TP loss won't be as drastic and vice versa.

It just depends what the matchmaker is pairing you up with currently.

Here is the information you need.

It'll be on twitch.tv/paladinsgame at 4:00 EST, and it's a massive oversight that this information is not stickied on the front page.

While you're probably right about the, as of yet, unannounced crystal sale. The galaxy chest can fuck off to a galaxy far far away. I don't care if I get the crystals on sale, I'm not supporting this particular chest. I don't want low item count chests if it means exorbitant pricing.

Actually the rate of capture does not increase with more people on point. It used to work like that but they changed it in OB36. In the linked patchnotes look at the 'Siege Game Mode' part in the General section. An AFAIK the change was never reverted. https://www.paladins.com/open-beta-36-patch-notes-the-pumpkin-patch/

In case anyone's curious, Mac path for the same is:

[Home Folder]/Library/Application Support/ChaosGame/Logs

If your Library folder doesn't show up, you need to set it to viewable. Follow the directions here.

I am talking about this dreadful patch. Not only she didnt need any of this, they also made her less fun for Seris mains with that Q rework. But she ended carrying people too easily and there were some really bad players in diamond rank. See my flair?

Those are probably Cogwheels that looks like spikes from the perspective.

I was thinking of something like this on his shoulders that would kinda make a silhouette of a tree.

There is a 6 month gap between releasing new skins and them appearing in Deal Of The Day (assuming they aren't Unlimited of course, in which case they'll never appear.)

Yes! It's back! This is the best part of the patch. I can finally spend my gold on something :DDD

> I've just started grinding the daily reward for gems for the 400 Omega Imani skin

You need 240 Chrono-Shards for the Imani Skin, not 400 crystals.

Check it out in the Patch notes

You need to complete 200 ranked win by this year. After that, whatever rank you are by the end of the year, you will be granted that border.

Tbh, that 200 win is too much. You need at least 400 ranked match to do it. I only have 50 win and I don't think I'm going to meet the requirement by the end of the year.

Flanks excel at single target burst damage, but they need to get in closer to do it effectively. These are qualities that help set them apart from Damage Champions.

Were you at level 50? You wouldn't have unlocked anything after the patch if you had nothing left to unlock.

Otherwise, do you remember what level you were on? You might be able to work it out from the info here. You should probably send a support ticket if you're sure you should have unlocked something.

Yeah it looks like it's true: https://www.paladins.com/news/xbox-one-and-nintendo-switch-updates

And I understand that it definitely does suck, but I doubt they did it on purpose. Shit happens sometimes.

From what I can tell, it will be free later on, but if you want to play it right now, then you need to pay for the founder's pack to get access early.

> Pre-orders are available now! Pick up the Founder’s Pack from the Nintendo eShop to start playing on June 12. The Founder’s Pack includes all 36 Champions currently in Paladins, all future Champions, and a number of Founder Exclusive cosmetic items.

'We get it: This is a major change that may be controversial, particularly given some recent questionable moves by full-price games.'

That quote says it all really, there wouldn't be a need to defend themselves against comparisons to the BF2 shitfest, if they hadn't just batantly copied it, to milk more cash from whales and span normal players into a massive grindwheel.

Of course they know what they are doing. It's called 'Door-in-face-technique'

> They said that it won't be possible to buy chests with crystals to avoid any p2w system so really this is just false talking

Where did they say that? What they officially said is this: We expect to allow Crystal purchases of those same Card Chests in OB65, but we may delay this. It's on the bottom here.

> 2.The game was even more grindier before where new players would literally struggle for essence as many cards costed way too much and legendaries aswell were a mess to obtain

The previous system wasn't good but still better than this imo since there was a way to craft the cards you wanted. Also with this system a new player will start with 1-1-1-1-1 loadouts (basically useless) and 4 low-impact legendaries against players who could have way more powerful loadouts, while with the old system you could at least create a loadout with 5 already unlocked cards around a full-power legendary against other players' 12 points loadouts.

> You can test builds on casual, on private servers or in your shooting range

Build testing on Quick Play won't be the same as doing that in a more balanced match, say "unranked", because of potentially crazy loadouts the enemies could have and because you would need to get the lvl 3 updates to play with a 3 3 3 3 3 loadout AND the lvl 3 upgrade for your legendary card. Testing range yes, but without allies and enemies it would be really difficult to judge the potential of a loadout.

Sounds you need the Official MM FAQ.

If you have any more questions remaining after reading that, you could also study the extensive documentation of the TrueSkill ranking system. It's pretty awesome if you dig into it.

Oops! I forgot it is a community labs world because it's new, and you must enable community labs in order to see it.

Also favorting it helps get it out of there so more people can see it.

https://www.vrchat.com/home/world/wrld_8b57b978-ec85-4fd1-9522-39e67dbd1498

Hi-Rez still acknowledges OB64 today and even have in-game content (the sprays) which reference it. Chris would have no reason to cover it up like it never happened, especially when it very obviously happened. It's fairly certain the only reason he said "And no pay to win ever" was as a reassurance to the playerbase that OB64 is never coming back. It's just that either he used poor wording or you're misinterpreting it.

It wasn't a lie. No one said Furia was coming to console this week, they said they hoped she would, and that they were aiming to get her out this week.

They wanted to get the update out on time and tried their hardest to, but sometimes it just doesn't work out.

> Hey Champions!

> We’re so excited to bring Paladins to the Nintendo Switch and introduce crossplay functionality with Xbox One!

> Unfortunately, due to technical issues, the 1.1 Update will not be released today on Xbox One and Switch. For this patch only, Xbox One and Switch will receive the 1.1 Update and the 1.2 Update together. The 1.2 Update is currently scheduled to release simultaneously across all platforms on the 27th of June. Going forward, we hope to release Updates on all platforms at > the same time.

> Xbox One gamers: We’re very sorry about this delay. We’ll be running a Play all Champions Free Event on Xbox One only from June 13 until June 27

I'll take some snippets from this news post

VIP Tier Rewards:

Players will retain all existing VIP Tier Rewards.

If you reached VIP Tier 3 or higher, you’ll receive a limited in-game Avatar — a new player icon cosmetic — as a thanks for participating in the VIP program

If you reached VIP Tier 5 or higher, you’ll get the first Battle Pass — and the legendary mount in it — for free.

And instead of getting this exclusive mount on VIP 5 page we're getting the first Battle Pass (400 crystals).

VIP 4 gets just the avatar as well.

The skins will be included in the VIP Store once the patch goes live on Wednesday. We added a few additional ones, you can find the list here: https://www.paladins.com/news/open-beta-69-update-notes-reign-of-house-aico :)

In specific regards to the Nova Strike skin, they noted here that:

>These skins [Nova Strike and Genie] featured several different Accessories, all paired with the same Body. We will choose the best looking version of each Accessory and pair it with the Body to create a Skin. Other Accessories will be removed from the game, and owners will be compensated.

I am sure they also talked more about it during Patch Preview but I don't feel like digging through the VOD for specifics. Even if you aren't technically getting a refund for the accessories of the skin that you no longer have acess to, there was still a compensation system in place like there has been for other reverts (i.e. common skins removal.) I respect your right to be an unsatified customer and voice your complaints and my response isn't really to minimize that, I promise. I guess where I disagree with you is the whole shady Hi-rez bit. I felt like they've made an effort to compensate people regardless if a customer is unsatisfied with it

> Hi-Rez hasn't exactly been transparent in how matching is made in matchmaking

there's literally a page on their website about how they do match making.

https://www.paladins.com/matchmaking-faq/

> How is that possible?

Self-healing doesn't count. Or, if you meant to ask, "how is it possible that I, paragon of professionalism gets matched by such a noob?", the answer is in the Official MM FAQ.

Buy it from here, my friend. This is not linked to Steam. Click on Buy Now and you'll get a prompt to log into your HiRez account. After that, you'll be redirected back and you'll see two options: Buy and Gift. Click Gift and follow the onscreen instructions.

P.S: Where it says name, it wants your Paladins IGN and not your HiRez account name.

Why don't you guys mention the fact you're giving away 2 keys by simply going to your own website and following one of your channels? Here it is for anyone that wants to try the game out ASAP:

Broken promises primarily, as a game it's one that I keep finding myself compelled to play, however the game that we got was an entirely different beast compared to Will Wright's original vision for the game, it was going to have a much more realistic style than the final version of the game which was quite cartoony, and the gameplay too was originally going to be vastly different.

that said, the void opened by the promises Maxis made and left empty by SPORE's release, is one that a small losely connected group of game developers is trying to fill. Their project is called Thrive and it's open source, so anybody can contribute.

It is called a comparison. They are both hated classes in their respective games that are viewed as having such a low skill requirement that they are at the point of being cheesy. Since a lot of Paladins players have played Team Fortress 2, I felt it would be agreeable that Lex is much cheaper.

Ok, so it's working for me now.

What I did:

1. Started VPN and connected.

2. Logged in to my account

3. Disabled VPN (Paladins will log you out)

4. I connected without VPN and it worked.

Also i think this was made by Anastasia Vinogradova and the model is Ledy, They have a Cosplay Group

So Im basically stuck with these 2 Quests for 2 more weeks

Thats reassuring, knowing that I wont get Crystals for the next 10 days (since the Crystal Quest is bugged) or any progress on the main Quest. Cool beans, very nice system you got there Hi-rez. But the moment your money is on the line, you guys act instantly. Not cool.

Did they remove the Test Queue? In the notes they state that a new test map is aviable, but no matter how often I exit the game and login back, the test queue aint aviable If you dont believe me

Possibly due to last-minute changes related to her appearance, possibly not. Unfortunately, console patches are much more complicated than PC patches, mainly because they require approval from third parties. You can read up on it here.

Because Hi-Rez once tried allowing three-man parties, and it was one of the worst things they ever did to the ranked gamemode. Never mind five-man parties.

>As discussed in our Mid-Season Ranked Update (https://www.smitegame.com/mid-season-ranked-update/) we have been closely evaluating aspects of our Ranked system and looking for things we can do to improve the experience for our players.

>One of the points discussed was the impact that 3-man parties had on the health of Ranked Matchmaking. After reviewing the data we have gathered, we have found that overall the benefits of a 3-man queue don’t outweigh the negatives. Starting in the 3.16 patch, players will no longer be able to 3-man queue in Ranked Conquest. We are also going to be watching how this change affects Ranked Conquest before we make any changes to Ranked Joust.

Just two months ago.

There was a bug with twitch so they said "fuck it" and just gave ash prime to everyone who logged in. Those who missed the log-in (like me, I was traveling) could simply ask support and get him anyway.

It was insanely generous.

Strix's new automatic pistol with accuracy cards is actually pretty decent. But yup, I think the devs might not wanna make it overpowered like last time. In the trickshot update notes they did say in the Strix section;

"We don’t want to bring back the days in which his Pistol had the highest damage per second in the game, but we do feel that it could feel more effective at base."

But I agree though, Crackshot might need a rework. It could be great for double tapping in poke fights but most people would go for Nocturnal or Unauthorized Use. I actually really like the concept of Crackshot but Nocturnal just seems more practical, especially for escaping flankers.

It's in this dev blog. Scroll down to the third-person section. Long story short, it introduced bugs and Paladins was built around being a first person experience.

This has already been fixed. The fix will be live with the Shadows update.

"Fixed an issue where selecting the Event Pass Level reward in Trials linked to the incorrect page with bad UI."

It's a Spray coming in the next patch

And if you are wondering, i got it from the Patch Notes

https://www.paladins.com/news/radiant-stars-update-notes

those are the patch notes with all the things that come the next patch and all i can say is that he won't get nerfed a little... they massacred my boy :(

They have been doing a program called The Hunt for the past 2 years where they have been fixing a lot of bugs. Their development priorities are also heavily directed by this since most new features are kind of indefinitely delayed.

The reason why it's still bad is because of server issues due to corona and that in the beginning the game was rushed so a lot of the code is spaghetti and the devs that made the mess aren't even on the team anymore to help out. And they're aware of that fact more than anyone.

You can see what has been done since then in the patch notes here: https://www.paladins.com/news/

Updates to live for games can sometimes come with unforseen issues.

There was a ton of bugs fixed this patch though and the full list can be seen here alongside the PTS bug fixes too added recently if you needed to see:

https://www.paladins.com/news/sands-of-myth-update-notes

There was a server backend update that has been causing some instability today but will smooth out according to our devs I've spoken with.

Ah, my apologies. Reddit Enhancement Suite is a browser add on that does lots of stuff. For example, it allows you to set a label for an individual redditor so you can mark who they are, or distinguish them from someone with a similar name, or remember something they said, or be snarky and mark me so I do indeed have a HiRez Studios tag next to my name, which is what I had assumed.

Hey you should give credit if you post art that isn't yours
