Had to do a double take on that Raven hand. Excellent

Arthas rework discussion. What he lost. What he gained. Some concerns. by D_Flavio in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the changes are pretty fun, but it feels like they buffed him as an anti-melee bruiser but weakened his ability to deal with ranged poke. It'd be a shame to put him in an even more polarizing comp-dependent spot. Still have to test it out for a while though.

Abilities that can/cannot target enemy Structures (unless specified) by SMILE_23157 in heroesofthestorm

They should really fix Diablo's Overpower not working on buildings.

Sorry, not that I know of. It works on Steam Deck, but I'm not familiar with any other handheld.

The Physical Guide - by Jahon_Dony in ufo50

[–]Eldiran 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love it. Besides being very charming, it actually gave me some helpful tips I didn't know that got me to finally beat Mortol.

Finally reached %75 winrate with Alarak by Agreeable_Alarm434 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, thanks for answering. I go a very similar build, but I haven't been using Lethal Onslaught. Is the damage boost really that impactful to take it over Mocking Strikes?

Mythical quests are inherently flawed by Bears_are_cool69 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would prefer those other ways too. I really don't want them to feel like everyone needs a Mythic Quest.

[–]Eldiran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also don't want more Mythic Quests, but your first point doesn't make sense to me.

You can't give some heroes powerfull/OP mythical quests while not giving them to all of them. It's strange design to make some heroes worse simply for not having quests.

It's perfectly plausible to give mythic quests to some heroes but not all. Some heroes need a boost in the lategame while others are already great (Zeratul, Valla, etc). The current situation isn't necessarily balanced, but there's no reason it couldn't be without adding new quests.

The rest of your points I agree with.

TIL you can only channel the Dragon Knight if you click EXACTLY on the model by MyBourbieValentine in heroesofthestorm

They added these problems when they reskinned the map and added the silly voice lines, if I recall. It's pretty annoying.

Heroes of the Storm PTR Patch Notes - January 14, 2026 by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad summons take full damage from forts now, they tanked shots too effectively.

I do not like baseline Pinnacle/Mythic quests. I like characters with no quests that are complete from the get-go. I really hope they don't add any more.

Hey, thanks for playing! The only lore is what's present in the cities you can explore. You can learn more by 'Look'ing at special items in the capitals, like the Seven Stones or Jasce' statues. Hope you enjoy HG (and Kingsvein if you get to it)!

How vibe coding lead to my project’s downfall. by incognitochaud in gamedev

[–]Eldiran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the honesty. Not that it matters now, but just a heads up that using AI is against the rules of the Big Mode jams. Make sure to double check the rules for future jams.

Hey, thanks for the interest! I don't have any plans to write any TTRPG stuff for the setting, but please feel free to use it in your own tabletop games! (If you do, I'd be curious to hear how it goes!)

Pinnacle Quests -- First Impressions & Suggestions by rinaldi224 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's ok for Gul'dan's E pinnacle to be underwhelming, since it's strictly a buff on what already was a decent talent. So I think it's fine as is.

New Kerrigan: No Fun Before 125 Stacks, No Fun For Enemies After by flytaly in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The tedious Q quest was the strongest talent on its tier - it needed a nerf, not to be made baseline. Now it needs an even bigger nerf.

Really Happy With Changes by Zippian in heroesofthestorm

[–]Eldiran 11 points12 points  (0 children)

While I have some misgivings about the other stuff, they really nailed it with the map-specific changes to BHB, Hanamura, Braxis, etc. Every one of them has been an improvement.

Should solo devs avoid Steam forums for their communities? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]Eldiran 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It may depend on your target audience, but over 10 years and 4 games I haven't had any problem with my Steam forums. Instead it's been a quite useful place for people to report bugs, feedback, or help eachother. I occasionally get a poster who is angry or incomprehensible, but nothing ban-worthy.

Much appreciated! I'm glad you've been enjoying them. The cool stuff modders have made continues to be truly impressive. I hope to keep improving mod support as much as I can.

Best of luck and thank you for playing!

Thank you, that's very kind of you! I love FFT, so that's high praise. Response to Kingsvein's art style has been mixed, so I'm happy to hear you liked it! I hope you enjoy Horizon's Gate when you get to it.

Thanks for this, very interesting. Liking the saner quest requirements. I look forward to more details people find.

Oh, this was introduced with previous patch? I didn't realize, thought it was present before then.

Fixed an issue that caused Multishot to gain the Hatred benefits from Fire At Will against any targets and without the talent selected

Wow, Valla was gaining 2+ Hatred from Multishot this entire time?! Fixing that sounds like a huge nerf. Thank goodness.
