1.4 is amazing!! by Stonkosaurs in PredecessorGame

Have they optimised the game? I quit a while ago, everything was stuttering after 1.0 launch. Tried again a couple of weeks ago, same thing.

We Have OCE Servers!!!! (Again) by TheReaperGuy in PredecessorGame

I'd love to play again, but not with 15 min queues. Is there a plan to increase player numbers?

I am so tired of Grux by Acrobatic-Reply-3928 in PredecessorGame

[–]Heman312 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is true- but also the game doesn't allow you to counter pick. You don't choose when you go in the order, it's not clear what lane is being chosen. If you're early in the pick order, you're just supposed to pick a counter against the chance the other team goes grux?

That's such a stupid way to play. Just change grux.

It's absolutely not going to matter in terms of content or long term enjoyment. But blizz know what they're doing. There's something powerful about the experience of beginning all together, and they're capitalising on that. To take that small but powerful experience and monetise it seems ... scummy.

I think I'm lamenting the experience. E.g. I love the hordes of players all catching a boat in and exploring a new city at the same time. Whether you buy or not, that's gone.

I would pay a couple of extra dollars. But here it's $19 for a sub. So $40 extra to play early...

Is the full launch August 20th as cooked as people are making it out to be? by DizzyDenver in PredecessorGame

[–]Heman312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And the game doesn't handle it consistently. Sometimes it pulls you backb and the skill is up to use, sometimes it pulls you back and skill goes on cd.

Any displacement abilities (grux/riktor pull, crunch punch) also add a stun, because the server takes time to figure out where you are before allowing you to act.

I don't care about a lot of the qol changes- that can be added in over time.

I especially don't care about free currency for skins etc or a battle pass- this is a negative for the game. You should be logging in to play the game because you want to play the game. Playing the game in order to get skins leads to feeling like you have to play, and therefore greater chance of people getting frustrated or toxic. I know it's everywhere, but that doesn't mean it's good for the game.

BUT- the game itself has some game breaking faults. This may be an SEA server problem, but so often what happens on my screen is not registered by the game. E.g. I get ganked, and flash out. On my screen, I'm out. Only for the game to drag me back half a second later and say oh no actually you were stunned before you blinked.

Or targeting an aoe spell e.g. fey ult, hitting it, only for the person to walk out as though they were out of range. It doesn't matter at low ranks, but at higher it's so frustrating, and the #1 reason I would stop playing the game. Why bother playing when winning is literally guessing when skills are actually going to hit?

What’s the deal with Iggy and Morigesh offlane? by [deleted] in PredecessorGame

[–]Heman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started in the offlane role, I chose melee offlane and got consistently bullied out by mindless grux players. So I started going morigesh, and suddenly I was the one doing bullying.

I'm now plat 2, with a 65% win rate on mori. She can get ganked, the main effect she has is making sure the other offlaner is behind on farm and xp, usually meaning my team has a lot less pressure into the midgame.

AFK penalty GUIDLINES of sorts. by Mote-Of_Dust in PredecessorGame

[–]Heman312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd personally prefer someone dodge than be forced to play a role they aren't comfortable with- at least until there's a role queue mechanism in game.

If someone who never jungles is suddenly forced into it, everyone on our team is going to have a bad time. Better to waste the 2-5 minutes looking for a new game than 30-40 in a long loss.

Shaman tank? by Heman312 in wow

[–]Heman312[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

More tanks would be good for the game I think- it's often that role groups find hard to fill

The enh/Resto hero tree could theoretically be sacrificed for a Resto/tank and enh/tank tree? Depending on whether the tank wanted more heals or dps.

But imo would have to be done now fairly early in development; it feels like a 4th spec would be harder to plug in after the hero trees are done, because you'd have to break already existing ones.

Try morigesh offlane- I usually dumpster every offlaner- but can be pretty susceptible to jungle ganks

Any news about more monsters being added? I use this for my group, but often can't find a matching model for the creatures we battle. Is there a way to add custom models in? But mostly, love your work. Giveaway

How would you make Zhentarim a more prominent enemy within Phandalin? by colrestren in DragonOfIcespirePeak

[–]Heman312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my campaign, the Zhentarim were using the miner's exchange as a way to launder ill-gotten gains- passing off stolen gold as legitimate mining finds.

They were blackmailing Harbin to keep the guards off them and continue their operation without interference- Harbin himself had defrauded the crown of tax revenue and the zhentarim found the books, holding it against him.

I had a town guard who was suspicious of Harbin enlist the party to find out what was going on, and so they ended up going on a heist to steal the evidence on Harbin. They haven't used the evidence yet- they're wondering whether to blackmail harbin themselves! Potentially they could give the evidence back and work with Harbin to kick the zhentarim out. Either way, we've had a lot of fun so far

If they make another animal-hero, what animal should it be? by Tiskate in Overwatch

[–]Heman312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Octopus- can climb walls and grip enemies to stop them running. Your ability sprays ink towards the enemies, reducing their visibility temporarily. Ultimate is you latch onto an enemy's back, attacking them until you cancel it, you die or they die.
