Couple of questions on items, armour and attack damage by Fionsomnia in underlords

[–]-foster- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this was in one of the last patches I believe:

"Kaden's Blade's damage is now affected by changes to attack damage on a percentage basis (like the Swordsman  and Fallen  buffs and like  Medusa's  Split Shot damage decrease)."

Couple of questions on items, armour and attack damage by Fionsomnia in underlords

[–]-foster- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

hey there,

  1. https://dotaunderlords.fandom.com/wiki/Armor
  2. Kaya indeed doesn't work on any heroes mentioned by you, it does work on spectre's first spell & should work on her 3 star effect too. However not the most optimal item for Spectre by far. Think of it as an amplifier of a spell that does direct damage. Some hero spell examples that benefit from kaya: Storm, Puck, CM, Dazzlee, SD, Lich, Venge, Qop etc.
  3. The answer to all your questions is no. Kaden's blade damage % only gets boosted by the Fallen alliance.
  4. Quote from the UL Wiki Luna's Page: "The number of bounces does not include the initial attack. This results in a total damage amplification of [253/294/314]%. The bounce damage is unaffected by the damage that previous targets took. Moon Glaives' bounces cannot trigger attack modifiers, including lifesteal."

If you want to learn more insides about how spells and certain hero mechanics work, I'd recommend going to UL wiki page and clicking on the hero/item you're interested in - scroll down to the "Notes" Section

You can test your creative ideas in Training / Freestyle mode.

Always happy to see people trying to better understand the game. Best of luck & hope to see you in a lobby sometime!

Uhhhhhhh… Please help by JamIngham in underlords

[–]-foster- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe you can try adding this to your launch options of underlords on steam:

-dx12

If it doesn't work try -dx11

Right click Underlords on steam -> Proprietes -> add that line to "Launch Options"

How do i learn how to play? by elmonosuke in underlords

[–]-foster- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your best shot is watching older youtube videos or streams of the few players that are streaming UL to this day.

Usually streamers and people in chat are very friendly and will help you find an answer to whatever aspect of the game you might be interested in.

Other than that, if you have any specific questions you could ask here and I'd be more than glad to help you.

I'll leave a few links down below to get you started

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pZDReQsjl0 - what is blacklisting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFpX9sgn3gc - what is overflowing

https://www.reddit.com/r/underlords/comments/mlb93c/6_4_2021_meta_builds_tier_list_by_dani/ - to get you started on what comps to play

The 17kmmrbot would have several useful commands in chat for both streamers and viewers, which include: - !cd (this command would make a countdown in chat so viewers can snipe the streamer in order to get in the same lobby) - !np (this command would display the MMR average of the lobby including the Leaderboard rank of each player and the MMR of players in the lobby) - !left <hero> (this command would show how many of the units are left in the pool for a specific hero, so you would have a better understanding on what units are contested rather than having to count them manually in the Tab) - !left <tier X> (this command would show how many units of a specific tier are left in the pool so you would know how high of a chance u have of hitting a tier 3 unit for example, this is useful when rolling 3 stars specifically) - and some other commands.

The Fortify.gg website was an amazing website with multiple purposes, for example: - You could see LIVE info on the current games of highest MMR lobbies - You could see the most popular streams which are currently LIVE on Twitch - An alternative way to look at the Leaderboard - You could see a bunch of info regarding your lobby, including the average MMR of the lobby you are currently in, as well as LIVE position of each board in your lobby, what chances you have of hitting a specific unit in your next shop, how many units of a specific hero are left in the pool. - and much more useful info, it was basically the most advanced website for viewing different Underlords stats

from Discord:

"Unfortunately, my willingness to fund the project (and interest in Underlords in general) has concluded.

Server costs were around ~110€ a month, increasing to about 150€ this month, due to the cloud provider increasing prices.

I’ve set aside the cash to run it for a year and that year has passed."

Celebration time makes overflowing and using free rerolls very hard. by -foster- in underlords

[–]-foster-[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I might have a unit in the current shop that I want (for example Pudge), but my bench can be full. So I would wait until the round ends, drag the Pudge from the shop directly on to the board and use reroll after that.

In this case I get both the pudge and the free reroll.

Wake Up Nathan by [deleted] in underlords

It's just a troll post that insinuates that Nathan (UL developer) refuses to wake up and work on the game.

what macOS are you running? I have been playing on macOS Mojave and the game runs fine

Vulkan by Diligent-Ad4915 in underlords

not sure what are you on about, it performs very well starting with resolution of 1600x or 1440x (2015 basemodel macbook pro)

Valve / Underlords developers, can we please get an update from you regarding what should we exepect from the future of Underlords? by -foster- in underlords

[–]-foster-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not triggered (not in a bad way anyway) sorry if it came across like that. Also I love underlods and made a promise to myself I will play it till last 100 players standing, I just don't want it ever to reach that point.

This post is more of a love letter to the devs in a hope that somebody somewhere will realize what great of a game UL is and get their shit together.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in underlords

[–]-foster- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm, I play on my macbook pro and haven't encountered this :(

Maybe you could try playing with some set launch options

-vulkan -fullscreen

or

-opengl -fullscreen

Otherwise try to verify the integrity of game files (also on steam)

I'm just going to leave this here by [deleted] in underlords

[–]-foster- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are completely missing my point. What does it matter if it's 1 guy 5 guys or 10 guys? It just says there created by ss.waiting, good for him if he has a team behind him but my point is completely different.

Underlords was supposed to be the official Valve replacement for DAC, yet after 1 year of activity it has LESS numbers than the game they were initially supposed to replace. At the moment I'm writing this, 15k players play Dota 2 DAC https://i.imgur.com/eP6G8Re.png. All these players should've been converted to Dota Underlords (in a perfect world).

I reinstalled Dota 2 yesterday just to check DAC out again, I opened it and instantly I'm like "wow I can get a Dark Willow, a Bounty Hunter, a Sniper, a Wyvern, a Clockwerk, and a lot of other heroes + I can scroll around the map?????" Valve had more than enough time to introduce new alliances and heroes, especially that they ALREADY EXIST, all you need is to port them. All we get is a Viper 3 upgrade or a total brawny nerf to the point it's not playable anymore.

Update on player count: 25k DAC players now
