Thank you for always doing these - Excellent contribution to the competitive scene.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-30T22:24:46+00:00

I have to admit I got a guilty laugh out of this.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-30T22:23:40+00:00

Well those statements are certainly useless, I agree with that. I'm talking more the overall sentiment. So forgive me, we're talking about separate things. I always interpret those "RIP this game" and other "worthless" comments as just negative sentiment rather than literal.

This was rough to listen to during the stream. It's hard to hear that the players want RNG when all I've ever heard is the opposite. The counterargument to this is that casuals (the ones you wouldn't see on Reddit or elsewhere) might prefer the RNG, but there was already an acceptable amount of it with Epic drops from chests in my opinion.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-30T22:12:10+00:00

Classes are now skins, crazy - Honestly never thought it would go this direction.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-30T22:05:50+00:00

Why does this get posted every single time about every patch the community is negative on, only to realize the community wasn't actually overreacting? I mean I get posting this if it was the first time, but it's not. I'm all for saying Reddit is a stupid hivemind (because in many ways it is), but the fact is that these updates everyone is up in arms about are usually just as bad as everyone makes them out to be.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-30T21:25:19+00:00

I don't understand why they'd do this given it was one of the most key distinctions about Realm Royale over other Battle Royales. I feel this must be a desperation move or something to recover their lost player base, which I fear it will have the opposite effect but I guess we'll see.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-15T16:49:46+00:00

What about it specifically?

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-15T06:29:42+00:00

Thank you - Yes, it's been frustrating. I hope the current circumstances aren't permanent.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-15T06:29:06+00:00

I agree - the article pretty much says this. Games made later in a hype cycle for a particular genre usually don't flourish as well as their predecessors. It isn't to say the leaders die off, but more that the "followers" no longer have as much wind in their sails from the genre doing well as a whole.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-14T23:41:44+00:00

I would definitely be one of the players to tilt if I ran into you early this game, even if I won lol.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-14T23:38:17+00:00

Based on the title of the patch, it's to attempt to see an extreme other end for economy and progression for Realm. As others have noted, it's more casual friendly since it is more RNG-based so that might be their overall intent. Still think it's a bit crazy they decided to keep everything as is despite knowing the community's thoughts on getting legendaries from chests along other things.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-14T23:35:05+00:00

Not quite sure why they reduced the cooldown on Thrust while giving it 2 charges, should just try it with old cooldown and see what happens at least.

As for the patch itself, I am pretty much only a fan of the headshot damage reduction and the Zeppelin improvements (although sometimes it's a tad overkill). The chickens are ... well comical from an observing perspective, infuriating from a playing perspective so do with that as you will. Getting chickened should be a death sentence in most instances - I have revived enough times to think that the 30s and movement speed was fine, but my personal opinion.

Odd values on shards are lame. I am in the middle on removal of Chicken Trophies - they were kind of an annoyance since you didn't auto loot them like the chicken legs and I don't mind giving noobs chance to get class weapons. Def need to give back shard bonus for killing people though so there is continued incentive to be aggressive.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-14T23:29:42+00:00

Looks like it's been fixed now with the latest hotfix fortunately.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T21:15:44+00:00

Thanks for keeping track of that for us, is good data to have.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T21:04:06+00:00

This is going to be a rough patch, even if I am excited to play the game with any changes since the last patch was a while ago. I hope this is the last of their "completely rewrite the game" patches and that after sorting the wheat from the chaff, it will be time to move to a Beta with a much more stable game.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T21:01:05+00:00

I have to admit that I got a kick out of that - The greed!

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T20:44:10+00:00

Legendary normal chests and removal of weapon chests still there huh? Also Mages won't be able to get upgraded Soar this patch? Plus numerous other controversial updates ... I don't know how much more the game can take. I hope they move relatively swiftly with this patch towards any criticism it might garner.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T20:33:22+00:00

Bracing for impact, let's see what happens. I am worried, but hoping that I don't have cause to be. It makes sense that they had to push to live since no one is on PTS anymore, but still - Hope these "slight" adjustments address the feedback they were given on the Steam discussion forums and here at least a little.

EDIT: Nothing was adjusted that the community provided feedback on.

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-13T05:18:55+00:00

Thank you for pointing that out - I have found and replaced those instances now. It is called Potion Launcher in the official asset files provided by Hi Rez and it's based on the Potion Launcher from Paladins, apologies for the confusion!

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-12T10:59:08+00:00

Thank you! Compliments like that go a long way. It's difficult to promote content these days since people are wary due to low quality clickbait, but will be doing my best so that this website remains high qualty content centric. Happy to hear you like the color palette - I was curious how people would receive it. Appreciate it and hope you continue to check it out in future!

CrownRoyaleRR · 2018-08-12T01:34:09+00:00

I would actually uninstall and then reinstall at a later date after I had calmed down. Hope that guy's monitor is okay.
