What are /r/vainglorygame's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

So my complaints are on how the ticket was advertised. The ticket was said to be obtainable from Chest or from pre-registering.

Directly from the news post, "No matter what methods you choose, finding a Golden Ticket will be a rare, special occurrence, so if you succeed, count yourself lucky and congratulations!"

By saying the Golden Ticket is available from Pre-registering, daily chest, and holiday-themed boxes, you're saying the Golden Ticket is a rare item ONLY from these in-game items. The item was advertised incorrectly and everyone who has spent money trying to get the ticket in the weeks past are out of luck.

Here is a picture of how to obtain the Golden Ticket: https://gyazo.com/0e40278f8fcea548e45ccc84444a7972

Edit: Megathread here

Was a limited edition skin in 2015, patch 1.13 and an Ice only (1499 I believe) purchase for 40 (or so) days only.

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/reim-update-1-13-notes-winter-chills/

The only of the original limited edition skins I spend money on and now have. (Oh and then there is that funny, garish Rona limited edition skin which everybody got for playing one game per day a month long or something like that - funnily enough just a little while later the first number of “active players” was released 😉 )

They then brought back recoloured limited edition skins as “special edition” releases, to monetise the designs.

Actually, they wanted to bring back the original colours initially, which resulted in one of the biggest community shitstorm ever, as the LE skins were advertised as “limited time only and never again”.

Meh.

Heroes I'd rather see new skins for: Baptiste, Ozo, Ringo, Glaive, Flicker, Baron, Idris, and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SEMC, finish the Dynasties Blackfeather series (and yes, the original announcement does refer to it as a series).

“Instead of purchasing, you’ll need to earn these fresh and shiny new skins by competing in reoccurring events. In many instances, you’ll be able to get them without spending a dime!” -Vainglory

Is this the kind of event you are referring too? This is not a free event... the only players who this is convenient for are those who spend money or those who dont level up talents (which is probably not many players).

This seems like a grab for more purchases. Please stop. I imagine if this continues part of the player base will become more and more frustrated.

Not sure if real question or sarcastic. Anyway, it used to, and it was pretty great, but it was one of the things to go first when they started cutting costs. That, and seasonal maps. SugarVenom used to write the lore, but they reduced her role, and she eventually left.

You can check out the lore here. Some of the pretty iconic ones are Ardan, Celeste and Vox's, Blackfeather and Malene's, or Adagio and Lorelai's.

I do, I do!

"My code of honor prevents me from slapping you."

Just kidding.

>“He taught me to wield the lance and shield and live by the knightly tenets of justice, courage, mercy, decorum, honesty, honor, loyalty and character.” A beatific light shone in Lance’s eyes. “And he told me about the city’s rich history of music and passion, enough beauty to inebriate the soul.”

You can read his lore here, if you wanna.

Very unlikely.

Remember this https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/share-apples-unleash-ad-ft-vainglory-to-unlock-prizes/ ?

The video only has 8.2 million views, meaning we would not get even the first reward.

One of the other rewards is a Double Sunlight weekend, so, that was supposed to be the boost before the End of Season.

We might get the Rewards 'if' there's no actual time limit for the view count to hit the mile stone goals. But that will have to be for next Season.

TL;DR - No, we would not get Double Sunlight days because they decide to bank on the number of views of this ad that has 33% dislike :/

Please know it's a very very early alpha release. Not a finished game. We just want to get it into your hands and help us make it awesome!

I always must preface these answers with the caveat that there is no Russia or Korea or Earth countries in the Vainglory universe, but we do take inspiration from them.

Deathless Reim was indeed inspired originally by Koschei the Deathless.

Tony's dogtags come from his time in the Winter War. Some info in Varya's story Thundersnow.

>The Secret City was silent, muted by falling snow. Varya walked down an empty road between looming barracks, watchtowers, and tall, wide chimneys from which billowed thick smoke. The war between the two mage princes of the Sleeping Land had played out for fifty years, had spanned thousands of bitter cold miles, had eradicated dozens of nomadic tribes. In the Book of Futures, the Worldseer had seen the victory of Prince Aleksandr, but not for another fifty bloody years.

Anybody remember the 1.4.0 patch notes?

>REFLEX BLOCK >“Reflex Block was too spammable and too easy of a counter against too many ultimates. Now, you must choose between blocking important initiation abilities at the beginning of fights at the expense of barrier — or save it for the end to mitigate massive amounts of damage (but after major spells have been used). The shortened duration also makes it less effective to blindly spam Reflex Block regardless of intelligent timing against incoming damage.” —>SurpriseBirthday > >Barrier changed from 200 health to 20% of missing health. >Duration down from 1.5 to 1.0s. >

Err ... wasn't it that he gave her oranges in return for dragon eggs from the ocean?

Doesn't seem like it's a romance at first But if you reread the lore with that in mind the story is kinda sweet.

>https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/no-sunlight-in-bot-matches/

My frustration is that I dont think this helps the game at all. If a player plays Bot Matches to get to level 50, why does it matter to SEMC? They are still an active user, and the rewards they get from hitting 50 encourage them to keep playing next season.

More than anything I think this is a sad, scapegoat, way of making sunlight harder to earn right before they implement the ability to buy sunlight levels next season. SEMC, with this move, is following the money, but disregarding a valuable part of their player-base.

They didn't mention this before.

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-3-6-silvernail/

It was announced after the update dropped. Do you think this is fair? It's an emote you'll/I never get now.

This is absolutely Bullshit by SEMC.

Your tone is obnoxiously critical. You know, they published the drop rates. When you open your free chest/rare/epic, you can simply click to see the following page:

https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/

And no, lootboxes won't be banned. Releasing drop rates will just become a requirement as it already is in parts of Asia.

I understand being careful with your money but they aren't villains for needing money to survive off of a FREE game. Of course they need money, dude. I want them to make money. I like their game and I hope it does well. Heck, everything down to the ads is optional. The whole experience is free if you want.

Edit: Re-adding my previous fun fact.

Fun fact, there's 0.0002% chance of pulling 1,000,000 Opals from a rare or epic chest. So low that I thought nobody would ever get it but apparently I was wrong haha. That's nuts.

This is the link to the article speaking on the subject. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/coming-soon-new-end-season-rewards/

At level 50 sunlight, you get:

- 3000 glory

- 500 essence

- 20 opals

- 2 epic keys

- 6 blueprint chests

- 2 epic talent chests

Overall, very good. Edit: if you can, try as hard as possible to get to level 50, the rewards get exponentially better than level 49

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/oh-so-pretty-the-rare-butterfly-celeste/

Rare skin ^

She basically has 7 skins now. Really smec?

This would have been better spent on baptiste and a skinless hero.

They have removed talent coins from the normal mystery chests. It was in the patch notes, first thing under "Market Changes" Notes: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-6-notes-suit-up-as-grace-communicate-more-effectively/

More about Maza and the struggle for power in Taizen Gate is coming soon.

Just a quick follow up for those asking for information about the preseason:

This is sort of the Lore:

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/epic-elbow-dropping-cagefighter-ardan-coming-soon/

I’m ok with /u/sugarvenomsemc and /u/playoffbeard being part of the alt-lore.

The bigger question is, who is Meat Truck? I’d love to see a wrestler version of Ozo, but I doubt it’s him.

Edit: it looks like it’s literally a truck that Ardan is fighting.

So Lyra and Reza's were lovers, but Lora prohibited their marriage because she wanted Reza for herself to have a strong mage born child. She send out Lyra to the colony of Trostan where she then had to raise Samuel. But after the confrontation between Lora and Samuel she came back because she knows where Samuel is heading. So that's how Samuel, Lyra, Grace, Reza made it to the fold I guess?

Here is the source for Lyra's backstory though:

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/lyra-lore-ii-the-first-mistake/

Lance finds gythian armor and wants to uphold gythian knight ideals. He travels with Samuel to Gythia, promising to protect him. Samuel does some weird shit, and Lance gets caught up in the Samuel / Lyra / Lora / Reim drama.

Lance then goes off on his own and meets up with Grace, who formally makes him a gythian knight.

In alt-lore, when Samuel does his weird shit, and Lance goes into the nether-world portal opened by Samuel. He becomes Nether-knight Lance.

Assuming 99% of PC users have a smartphone they can just download the app on their phone to do all the things in the client they want to do any use the PC client to just play the game but do nothing like use the ingame shop etc.

​

I'd rather them focusing on enhancing everything to do with gameplay such as custom hotkeys, reduced loading times, etc. than wasting time on the ingame market that u can perfectly well access through the phone even if you dont want to play on the phone or if the phone is laggy or w/e

​

https://trello.com/b/cfqTbDBD/vainglory-pc-mac-alpha-community-hub also here you can find a link with a submission form to report bugs through the specifically set up form.

Not sure, it was a long time ago. But it's the patch where they did a massive update on 3v3

Found it it's this one

[NEW] Grants the killer Sentry’s Might for 90s

Deal 15% more damage

Take 20% less damage

Nearby enemies are slowed by 25%

Everyone who had a Charms Pass active before Update 3.6 went live, kept the Kissy Emote for free permanently.

See here

Per this source your chance of a legendary skin on a normal rare chest is 2.45% so this boosts it to 7.35%.

-

Therefore you would on average need to spent 2707 ICE to obtain a legendary skin. Most legendary skins are priced at 3599 ICE. Considering that you'll also get glory, opals and essence from those chests that could be a good deal for you, provided that you don't already own many legendary skins.

-

For myself, I own 16/28 legendary skins, so I have a 16 in 28 chance of getting a dupe, increasing the average spend to obtain a legendary skin for me from 2707 ICE to 6317 (multiply by a factor of 28/12 because I have 12 legendary skins to obtain) and suddenly the offer doesn't look so good.

People will still have to remember that when you download a free Vpn, that you are the product not the consumer. If you plan to use a Vpn it is honestly recommended to just straight up get a monthly subscription from companies like Private Internet Access etc.

I'm in NA in the southeast also and I use NordVPN. I pay $36 a year for the service. Private Internet Access (PIA) is another VPN that is very highly rated but I can't speak for their quality. A VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Basically, all internet traffic is funneled through an external server over an encrypted connection. Its for privacy and security primarily. It also allows your traffic to appear to originate at the server.

As far as latency is concerned, it is more complicated. It can incur higher latency or improve speeds depending on all sorts of factors. With NordVPN, general traffic has an almost imperceptible difference of being faster or slower. With regards to Vainglory though it is almost always slower in my experience. It may help in your case, so its probably worth the free trial.

You need the 1a client. If you download from the Play Store or the App Store, it'll be the 1b client. In the 1a client, you can pick skins and talents but cannot pick a name and the rest of the UI is unchanged (which means 80% of the menus are broken). In 1b, the unusable menus are cleaned up and you can set a name but cannot pick skins or talents. If you're on an Apple device, you're shit out of luck. But if you're on Android, you can uninstall the Vainglory app and download and install the 1a client from this link: https://apkpure.com/vainglory/com.superevilmegacorp.game/versions Afterwards, turn off auto-update for Vainglory in the Play Store because it will automatically update you to the 1b client otherwise.

The chat system has always had problems since 2014, but none so frequent and crippling as it has been for the past year. The new 5v5 UI nobody asked for is the culprit of this pain in the ass of a chat that doesn’t work half the time, terrible time stamp formatting, missing notifications, erratic scrolling behaviour, you-name-it etc.

It’s frustrating when you have no way to tell if your chat is working or if everyone is being silent in a match. This issue has got to be the most-reported bug ever yet SEMC has done nothing to address it. It’s not even mentioned in their recent article about how they tackle bugs! What a joke.

We all know the game has been on the decline for a long time now. SEMC’s continued neglect towards these bugs is a validation of that fact. Their announcement of making a new game also hammers home the same fact. They clearly lack the capacity to handle just one game but now they’re dividing their resources for two. One can imagine how this will affect Vainglory.

The community used to be vibrant and always looked forward to new content that are well-teased and hyped up. Those were the prime days. Now it feels like we are just hoping that things stop breaking with each new update. SEMC has set the bar really low for themselves. What a sad game Vainglory has become.

Stop rewarding SEMC for their incompetence. Stop buying ICE until they make actual positive changes to the game.

For a F2P player tp reach Lv 100, they will have to just keep playing constantly.

Aside from that, other ways of collecting more Sunlight are:

• Opening the Daily Chests every 6 hour without fail.
• Playing one game, no matter game mode; each day to get the 250 Sunlight.

I have to inform you that skins do not boost Sunlight gains anymore.

Link to related article: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/3-9-winter-battle-pass-staying-lit/

I think that option will be available upon next patch.

Edit: Toward the end of Summer Season you’ll have a chance to exchange your Summer Keys for 150 ICE EACH. If you don’t think you’ll accumulate 10 keys before Summer ends, make sure to exchange them! This option will no longer be available when Fall Season begins.

Hi! Search by hero here. All the lore you need for each hero, including other heroes appearing in their stories, are on that page. For example, Ardan, Celeste, and Vox all have the same lore on their pages (except for skin lore).

If you have any questions, ping me and I’ll help.

1: Short answer: No

1: Longer answer:

No, and that is actually one of the advantages of barrier over fortified health. Say you have 1000 health and 500 barrier then take 500 damage. You now have 1000 health. However say you have 1000 health, of which 500 is fortified. If you take 500 damage, that gets reduced to 250 so you now have 750 total health of which 250 is fortified. Okay so you have effectively 1000 normal HP now right? Yes, unless that fortified health expires, so barrier is strictly better when you look at it like that.

Furthermore, if you had only 100 health, you can gain 500 barrier, but you can't fortify 500 health when you have only 100 to begin with. Another advantage for barrier.

Fortified health is nice though because as it reduces damage taken, you'll hinder enemies who are stacking breaking point or using life steal.

&nbsp;

2: Short answer: Yes.

2: Longer answer:

Fortified health is a little different to barrier. Barrier is added onto the end of your health bar and just functions as additional health. Fortified health on the other hand makes you take 50% damage while you’re on fortified health. So yes they use your armour/shield values, so long as you treat fortified health as taking 50% damage. Alternatively you could think of fortified health as adding on 100 + your current armour or shield, same effect, but a little harder to get your head around.

&nbsp;

3: Okay so, I’ve never personally tested this, but I’m am pretty certain that the defence values used are those of the target hero. In the case of fortified health which was introduced in 1.13 with Reim, you can find the explanation here which says in no uncertain terms that fortified health just gives you 50% damage reduction: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/reim-update-1-13-notes-winter-chills/

Golden Tickets that give players early access to 5v5 (more info here). There's quite a resemblance between those and Willy Wonka's (fictional?) Golden Tickets to the Chocolate Factory.

Note: Guild payouts are for Members only (not Initiates), so be sure that you’ve progressed far enough in your guild to receive payouts.

This is really old, but I'm pretty sure it still applies. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/autumn-season-payouts/

I feel as if everyone has gotten confused by this. This is false. If you have read Grace's first lore, you will know that the guy that is covered in bandages is actually their guide to meeting Titus. He is covered in bandages because Titus burned him as Titus can not control his fire. Titus is in the background waiting at the gate. He is the fire spirit like being. http://i.imgur.com/pzUg2bn.jpg The image is from the first lore. Read it, if you haven't already, or you just don't remember the details. https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-grace/

Chill son, and do some research before you flip out at folks trying to be helpful.

Current Grace is different from other captains. FlashX discovered that Grace with a weapon blade has a tremendous ability to bully early game, and it's now her preferred first item (for this meta.) You sell it later on once you start needing the extra space.

And regarding building CP on Captain Grace:

"It is a good idea to buy some crystal power on Grace, even when played as a Captain, because it strengthens the power of her holy shields as well as her passive damage reduction."

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/grace-abilities-splash-art-reveal/

It's been replaced with what we hope is a much more effective quick-message system where you can tell your teammates a lot more than before https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&amp;v=7lJ5mtc9XEQ See the patch notes

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-6-notes-suit-up-as-grace-communicate-more-effectively/

So, I had a iPad mini version 2 that was struggling in 5v5 the last few updates. I was getting a lot of frame rate drops and occasional crashes until this update happened. With this update I couldn't even get through a 5v5 game without a crash. I was very frustrated to say the least but I decided it was time to upgrade. Do I wish I didn't have to? Of course. Do I wish the game was better optimized for my old iPad. Yes, but what what you gonna do?

So I went to Amazon and got this Apple iPad (Wi-Fi, 32GB) - Space Gray (Latest Model) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BTS2KWK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_isDWCb308W1KF

The game plays perfectly now. And as a bonus my first rank game got me back into VG.

Try using snowball comps yourself, this will give you a good sense of the limitations and characteristics of the composition.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

I have a 4g connection and VG runs ultra smooth for me. Had to tweak 1 thing though. Most of the providers use own DNS servers which are mostly overloaded and cannot resolve the hostnames. To set custom DNS for mobile connections download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pepeware.dns.free or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.dnschanger Use Google DNS options. For Indian JIO users this is the magic solution you need to make use of your JIO connection as was intended.

Also, in the twitch chat people kept asking why it was only private, and they said it's like beta testing. I don't remember what all the said about it, so check out the stream on twitch here. He talks about it around 49:45. Iirc, they're planning on adding it into public Q. I might be wrong though.

The chance rates can be googled easily And im sure many have won it. They just dont post it on social media. Maybe only brag about it to their friends

To quote:

" WHY THE REVAMP

New and longtime players have consistently told us that the tiered, card-based skins system is too muddled, difficult to navigate and requires painfully repetitive behavior, like individually destroying hundreds of cards for Essence. In addition, the card system bogged down loot drops with undesirable commons and created UI clutter.

The revamp unifies two largely disconnected systems, clearing up all the related confusion."

OP posted a screenshot of a web page that explains and details the end of season rewards players will receive. OP’s post may be confusing because it’s a partial screenshot of the website where all the pertinent information actually lives.

Wait its only for the beta testers, or can anyone get it? Im not a content creator or a pro :(

The sagittarii are just Gythia’s elite archers, as you can read it in the part six of the lore: The battle begins. Lyra is a battlemage.

A minor nitpick: as of patch 2.12, Poisoned Shiv applies mortal wounds with every second basic attack, not every third.

Please don't die, I like you very much. But yes, I laughed out loud at my desk when I wrote that, and Ciderhelm probably thought I was insane. Blackfeather, Phinn, & Malene actually surprise me while I write.

Edit: Yes, Malene should have all the Skaarves, but we know that there are lots of dragon colors out there.

You've listed a few things from your other tweet which you want SEMC to explain.

> Communication

Do you mean communication between SEMC and the playerbase? In-game communication? Party and friend chat? It's not clear at all.

Dev-community interaction, or lack thereof, has been addressed by FooJee in his recent Reddit post and the Discord AMA was an attempt to improve that.

SEMC has started before that they will be working on all the other types of in-game communication in this post.

> Bugs

They have stated here that they will be working on bugs, among other things, so not sure what you're worried about.

> Matchmaking and Ranked Elo gains and losses

This has been covered to death by SEMC in a series of Reddit posts, tweets, and the Discord AMA. If you're complaining based on anecdotal evidence, note that API sites show 3v3 rank and not 5v5, which may explain some of the seemingly uneven matchups.

> number of heroes

Yes, new heroes are good. Again, not sure what more you want to be said on the matter. They F d covered this topic everywhere. Check links above and the Discord AMA.

It hasn't been granted yet! The "enter email thing" you mentioned was for a chance to be selected in a lucky draw. it is not a guarantee. But doing so would guarantee a "founding 5v5" badge if you follow the instructions in the email, which is a completely different thing. Source: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/do-you-have-a-golden-ticket/

Alternatively, you can get the Golden Tickets from skin chests, and I've done the calculations for getting a Golden Ticket from therein another subreddit:P https://www.reddit.com/r/vainglorygame/comments/7m0drd/what_we_really_want_this_christmas/drqpesg/?context=2

The availibility schedule for the SE lyra skins mentioned that the skins would be available for opals during the next patch so I'm not sure why you would say that.

When it initially came out, people wasted their saved glory in huge amounts on it.

https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/

But now everyone knows how bad the drop rate is, so everyone has stopped spending on it and are waiting for it to be changed in some way.

I couldn't remember off-hand, but googled "sparkler skaarf release" for the announcement: (https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/celebrate-with-five-special-edition-sparkler-skaarf-skins/)

Each (except gold) was 3599 ICE, then there were two-color bundles for 4599 ICE (but I don't remember which colors were paired together), or you could buy the gold (plus other four) for 4999.

I seriously thought Elite Idris was going to be a Shatterglass skin, considering the lore. I wonder if the Shatterglass theme was scrapped after all of the criticism the Sorrowblade Glaive skin got.

Try using a VPN, it helps with keeping the connection a little stable at times. I live in the Maldives and connection is horrible sometimes but using a VPN did help out a lot. Not sure if it works anymore. Check out ExpressVPN

I am on EA server from Hong Kong and regularly go to China. I have found using hotel wifi works best if I connect to my own server, but if you are on cell network it will lag more. I think the last time I went to Shanghai I was playing on EA server too, and it wasn't too bad.

As far as getting your account moved, I remember someone told me on here that it is possible, though I didn't do that and just connected to EA server.

Sorry this isn't regarding SEA server, I am just sharing my own experiences. Also, you cannot make purchases with your own account while in China, you must use a VPN and connect to the server you was originally on (if you don't migrate your account). Whenever I go to China, all the buy options are missing for me.

> FUNNILY

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/funnily

scroll down you come across

>Related forms:

>funnily, adverb

If you look even further you will find that 'funnily enough' is an expression similar to 'oddly enough' or 'strangely enough'. All of them correct english.

You may not like the word, but that doesn't make it wrong.

I can only speak for the windows client:

If you don't do certain things like clicking on talents during champ selection you won't get crashes.

If you load a game in the 3on3 and 5on5 map once or twice in training mode before queueing up vs real players it tends to load quickly enough to not miss time at the start. If I instantly play a real match I usually am loading 1-2 minutes late into the game.

So if you're willing to live with these limitations and the fact that the client still has some minor annoyances and inconveniences like no custom hotkeys etc then by all means go for it and try it out.

They're actively developing the alpha client and you can check the progress here:

My friends and I had a match last where we were absolutely wrecked by a reim phinn combo early game. We were 0-17 at the 10 min mark (I was 0-7). Somehow we managed to turn one good team fight and the bounties were enough to let us turn the game around and we won. It was actually streamed so here is the link if you are interested. I guess the point is don't give up :)

Vainglory is currently in a transitional phase right now, so it will be a while before everything goes back to normal. For now, your account won't be accessible but in a few months or so you can reupload everything back to your device.

I suggest you read the article I linked above.

Can someone help me? I uninstalled previous version (from Google Play Store), because this one crashed once starting the game, then installed again from APK, and I remember from the page https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-edition

"We are making the game “client authoritative” meaning that instead of everything being handled by expensive servers, your handle and matchmaking information will be stored on your device. This means that if you uninstall and reinstall, you will lose that information. "

So, idk if my previous data from Google is lost.

I don't know much myself, but Vainglory is now in the hands of the community.

you don't have any idea what the hell happens here !

Hold your horses there. First comes the community servers, then will they even consider letting modders do as they please with the game.

Even then we don't know how easy it is to mod E.V.I.L when compared to something like Source. If a start-up couldn't even code the game properly, a bunch of script kiddies won't even smell a chance.

Just wanted to say out of all the trello boards I've seen this one has the coolest background lol. Edit: I found the link if anyone wants to save it or something. Did I mention that this image is really cool? https://www.vainglorygame.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Collage06-1.jpg

Fact of the matter is spending 199 ice is better then buying a gold chest this is so pointless and stupid lol. The only thing Gold chest got on rare chest is that their is a 20% chance of getting a skin that is exclusively from the new update but then there's a 75% chance of getting rare so it's not likely you'll get anything good. Here are the statistics for anyone in the loss https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/

Found it: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/announcing-vainglorys-creator-program-and-the-spar-system/

If you have 5000 followers you get “content creator dashes”. Those are the hyphens you see around some people’s names.

I mean if you have high season level already, yes it is worth it. But it is definitely too late to start grinding anymore. Have a look at the rewards yourself and decide based on that: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/introducing-vainglory-battle-pass/

They put up an addition to the end of the BF Lore, there they meet a forest witch, she gives them the feather in exchange for Malene's mirror.

Here is the additional ending/Malene Lore Part 1.

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-malene/

At the witches place BF traded her mirror to the witch for a seraphim's feather to tickle Malene awake, and then when she wakes up the witch reveals Malene's parents paid her (ages ago) to trap her magic/dark/angry self in a mirror and the witch released it and now the 'two' Malene's are back together but when Malene woke up she fell in love with BF and demanded they get married but in order to get what Malene wants which is a royal wedding she needs to make BF a royal but in order to do that she has to be more royaler and the witch gave her the idea that she could do it if she was Queen of the Eventides so now she wants to defeat the Storm Queen and has taken BF and Phinn in her party to obtain a powerful mage and "a dragon or two" so they can storm the Storm Queen.

All we've got is this post which gives the 3 methods as:

• Pre-registering your email
• Quest chests
• Holiday-themed boxes

I suppose they never explicitly said that those 6 hour chests and season chests won't give it, but if I had to wager one way or the other I'd say they won't give it.

I'm looking forward to it! Blackfeather and Phinn never fail to make me happy. I wrote this story on a bad day and it cheered me right up.

Go to this Page and scroll down to 'how to get the skin'. There should be detailed instructions there.

u/Nirheim calculated the probability. Using that chest you have a 4% chance to obtain a legendary skin.

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/vainglorygame/comments/7ezlr7/your_chance_of_winning_a_legendary_skin_through/

This is due to the fact, that the initial drop rates are already so low (https://www.vainglorygame.com/mystery-chest-drop-rates/) and, even if the "skin" category is rolled over "hero", there is still only a 7% (21% tripled) chance of it being Legendary.

So, yes, it's another marketing trick and not really a deal. Isn't SEMC a great and user friendly company full of transparency?

If it isnt on the vainglorygame website (2.10 patchnotes or reveal page) it probably doesnt exist

Here is the reveal page btw: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/brilliance-epic-dr-franken-flicker/

Yea, most ability damage will trigger it. The 2.9 patch notes explain it a little, but they don't give an exhaustive list.

Of the ones they mention a few aren't quite so obvious:

• Petal's seeds don't trigger it if someone walks into them.
• Catherine's bubble apparently triggers, but is that the burn damage or the deflect damage? Not that this will be relevant in any serious game... I hope.
• Only the first hit from Grumpjaw's Hangry triggers it, the subsequent attacks don't.

Seems that to be sure you just have to test it.

Yet, SEMC already wrote exceptions for other characters. Not sure if all these are outdated, but from SEMC's page, Skaarf's perk description excepts turrets from damage and indicates reduced Kraken damage. Baptiste's A and C abilities do reduced damage to minions. Ozo's B has reduced crystal scaling against minions. Kestrel's C does reduced damage to non-heroes. Baron's perk does reduced damage to lane minions.

There is a sub /r/VaingloryTournaments , but not active.

Try this link https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-community-tournaments-formats-better-rewards/ orask in the official Discord Channel.

For some reason that link is pointing to something out of date. There's a more up to date of the patch notes here: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-7-reza-notes-ignite-enemies-claim-your-glory-refund/

From update 2.0: https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/update-2-0-idris-notes-anything-can-happen/

I'm not sure if it includes jumping over the wall, but that's what I remembered reading 😕

https://www.vainglorygame.com/news/vainglory-lore-in-order-so-far/ Not all heros are connected and it'll list each hero and then all the lore needed to understand that heros lore. For example Adagio you will see his and Idris

There were news articles suggesting it would be delayed I am afraid. A number of guildmates and myself are using VPN's such as viper which I believe is free - and if you use this link: https://vyprvpn.com/refer?ar=1f7jbucqodviv_1 you will give one of my guildees more data to play on.

Basically all you are trying to do is change the routing of your connection - I find changing my location to Singapore seems to work but others have done different things and ended up with lag free games.

You can play on NOX android emulator (available for windows & mac) Vainglory works well on it I do face some lag sometimes like only once or twice a day and I think its because of my bad internet I've used nox player version 5 You should try it https://www.bignox.com/

You can still download it on Android or IOS. It's not available on Steam if I remember correctly. And I don't know if it's possible to play on PC without something like BlueStacks.

I was having trouble getting into games because vg would bug out on me on the hero select screen. I did a bit of research and turns out my internet provider is throttling certain games. So i got a vpn and it pretty much cleared up all of my connectivity issues. I just went onto the app store and downloaded a vpn. The one im using is called Betternet, there might he better ones out there but this is just the one im currently using.

Any chance you're on Android? If so, Relay for reddit supports cake day recognition and a lot of other cool features.

And of course, happy cake day!

^(sorry for the shameless plug)

This for sure.

I like this quote

just because of how poetic it is :P

A lot of the stats websites that take advantage of the API have mobile websites that feel like they're a mobile app. You can even create links to them right on the home screen with a proper icon and everything.

There is one app for Android that I know of, but being an iOS user, I have not tried it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.spoketplace.vainstatistic

Could Try This

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobzapp.screenstream.trial

I tried out about 4 apps for android real quick and this was the only one I even got to work. Audio didn't work but it was stated in the description that it was broken on Android M which is what I have so that would be why.

I believe you had to be in the beta to access the Vainglory game in Google Play right now, at least until Thursday when it launches officially. I know you already downloaded it successfully OP, but for anyone else, here's a link to the app in the store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.superevilmegacorp.game

>400

Will you bump that up to $450?

I found this deal and is what the pros use

Actually Update 1.17 will be shown off at PAX East 2016. So on Saturday April 22nd and Sunday April 24th they will be showing off all the things that will be released. Keep an eye out for the Dev stream on twitch.

The update will probably come out the Wednesday after but it's not always clear.

In the Spring Patch Notes Ciderhelm said:

> Hey, this is Ciderhelm, and I’d like offer a glimpse of our two upcoming roam heroes, Lance and Lyra. Lance is a heavily armored defender with a unique sword-and-board fighting style. Lyra, on the other hand, brings powerful magic to support her allies from a distance. In addition to their primary roam roles, Lance will offer a separate warrior path while Lyra will offer a separate mage path.

So if you like Ardan and Catherine Lance might be up your alley. If you like Adagio, Lyra will be your go to. Keep an eye out for the lore and news on them!

Edit: Also if you plan on waiting and buying the New roams, you'll have to wait a week after the update because there will be early access on them. So just try to be patient. Glad I could help!

There's a "KnownIssues.txt" in the Vainglory folder that tells you about this. (If you check the open the ReadMe file during installation it would have opened this up)

The content of the file: > This is our first Alpha Release of Vainglory on Windows, very much a work in progress. > > We'll collect Known Issues in this file as we go, but for now if you have feedback or bugs to report, please go to our Trello board: > > https://trello.com/b/cfqTbDBD/vainglory-for-pc-community-hub > > - Game does not open Full Screen by default: > -- Use Alt+Enter to enter full screen > - Text input is not visible in Full Screen > -- You may have to manually click on the text box location to get focus, > -- Text does not display in some resolutions but it does accept your input, > - Crash Reporting is not implemented > -- If the game crashes, it will create a dump file: Vainglory.dmp. > -- Please submit crash reports & .dmp files via the trello

Hope this helps ^ ^

Getting voice chat to work is on the list. Could you send us more details on the bugs? We 're aware of the typing issue when full screen, but I don't see anything about the worded pings.
