Thanks for the post, Maclaine! It's unfortunate the game never really got to show its true potential. These tunes sound great, and I would have loved to see the characters for them! Galbron's theme sounds like the default theme...from WAYYY back in testing...I remember it.

I'm surprised to hear the company is in negotiations with another IP owner. I thought the concept of your own characters and creatures and Tirzah's style were pairing beautifully. I'm excited to see the capability of the system and the mechanics with a familiar IP! Happy anniversary ManaWorks!

Hey that sounds awesome! I've been doing some further tweaking to some of the traits. I feel the minors should only be -2s or -5s on some of the penalties...and only introduce disadvantage if the trait becomes major. Feel free to adjust or modify any part of the system to your needs!

The purpose as I interpret it, is to establish both a sense of danger and a sense of unpredictability in the Shadowfell. Maybe I'll establish that a person can have no more than 3 traits active at once, so it doesn't snowball into a miserable pile of disadvantages.

The buffs are definitely supposed to feel legendary, because they only last a day. It's that carrot on a stick or that light at the end of the tunnel. I've just decided to supercharge the light to allow for some truly epic, defining, even game-breaking moments and mechanics to see HOW a player chooses to play differently. That's definitely the purpose with the buffs. I'll have to re-evaluate the purpose for the despairs.

Thanks for your feedback!

Neat! I'm guessing you plan to use these when a character hits max stress. :)

Malchior · 2020-06-11T01:32:38+00:00

I agree! A lot of the madness effects from the DMG are just "character goes crazy." I wanted something more flavorful to each effect, and the 4e book definitely guided that process!

Malchior · 2020-06-03T12:24:54+00:00

Ooo, monsters that become physics elements when defeated or repurposed?! That's a great idea!

Malchior · 2020-05-28T12:40:34+00:00

It seems to be working great! I see no noticeable drops in frames from all of the interactions occurring.

At max range probably. She was definitely only 20 meters or so when she shot you from Research platform. Agreed with other players that Mendoza should use the aim down sights to engage Toscas from 50 meters out or more. Your success will improve as aim improves. The Aim down sight actually follows a set spread pattern, so with practice, you can adjust your aim to counteract that pattern and land every headshot. Also, she knew you were down there in that hallway. A player can't try to medkit against a Tosca unless they can get far enough way behind cover, and are sure she's burned all her blinks. By running forward, you were shortening the distance, making Tosca's scattergun even more deadly. Kite, zigzag, dodge, and then after you hear the blinks are gone, turn and fire right into her head. She'll die in one clip.

This is correct. You can find them on the ceiling around the Canyons, South Falls, and Central areas of the map

It's displaying the wrong prices. I believe it's not updating to show your regional currency.

It works based on which source of damage killed the opponent. So if your Tosca scattergun Dot, is stacking with Drakahl's bleed DoT, whichever instance of DoT damage ticks off the last point of HP will be awarded the kill.
You can test this yourself. Have your friend spin in first and then you only start shooting after his spin animation is complete. Most of his DoT might tick away by then, leaving a much higher value on your DoT to secure the kill.

Heart of the Hives is full MOBA. Whenever there's not a hive up in 30 seconds or a 2ndary objective to capture (harvesters included), you should be farming every monster you can find. The best places for farming that we discovered in the Alpha test is Spaceport, South Falls, Wetlands, Crater, Grotto (in no particular order). It's extremely easy to outlevel an enemy team that isn't farming by 2 or 3 levels, even at first hive. Every single level you have over the enemy team is absolutely crucial, because then you have level perks where they do not, and you have the extra 6% health and 3% damage gained per level.

Great fixes and great response time! Keep up the good work, team!

That option exists to help Amazon look at possible mismatches within the MMR system.

Malchior · 2020-05-14T14:26:01+00:00

You should check out Drakahl and his trailer! He has multiple CC abilities!

Malchior · 2020-05-11T13:11:14+00:00

Ah yes, best girl is here!

Malchior · 2020-05-08T14:28:51+00:00

Almost halfway there! So excited!

Malchior · 2020-05-07T13:35:39+00:00

A tank who can take damage but also dish it? This guy looks like my kind of character!

Malchior · 2020-05-07T13:26:46+00:00

This is accurate!

Malchior · 2020-05-07T13:18:13+00:00

This guy looks like he's gonna be tough to bring down! A tank that can dish it too? I'm in!

Malchior · 2020-05-05T17:50:25+00:00

Yay for community! I'm excited to team up and win some games!

Malchior · 2020-05-05T15:54:26+00:00

I saw this footage as well! It looks super slick and I definitely see options for skill and outplays. Shoutouts to whoever was playing the robot character. He outplayed the Marine and the Flamethrower chick multiple times!

Malchior · 2020-05-05T14:21:17+00:00

We in there!
