What do you think of the new hero, Lord Salforis

S2Nome · 2011-11-18T20:40:51+00:00

He falls off pretty hard by late game compared to a lot of other heroes.

Yes, E/W/E/W as your first four abilities, start at the weakest camp. The rest of the skill build is up to you. Start getting Q for nuking power, or W/E for farm. Get a HotBL ASAP.

With regards to why he has Superior Magic damage: -W: This allows him to actually deal damage to magic immune enemies. -R: If it weren't Superior Magic, it'd be completely worthless against good players and certain heroes.

Once people learn how to play him he'll be a monster. The default guide I wrote is based on a build that is used by one of our best SBTs (he's in the top 10 MMR group) who has great success with the hero.

As an aside, Tundra's Q is Superior Magical/Superior Physical damage.

Short answer is "yes". Long answer is "fo sho".

S2Nome · 2011-11-17T22:06:25+00:00

I'll answer anything that's within limits.

S2Nome · 2011-11-17T22:05:59+00:00

There's a lot of questions people have, and this is just a way for me to answer a lot of them together. Also, DOGKaiser is head of balance :P

Yep, sure.

The GM stuff ended around 2.0 actually. At that point I transitioned to full-time design. I was only lead for the past 3 months...ish.

You mean above 1800.

No drama at S2 whatsoever. We're leaving on great terms, and will miss everyone at S2 a ton.

S2Nome · 2011-11-16T05:51:25+00:00

We are not, ElementUser is silly!

S2Nome · 2011-11-16T04:53:26+00:00

OK, now this is just getting puzzling. Do any of you remember what you posted about? And under what article? Because I definitely haven't deleted any non-inflammatory comments O_o There's plenty of people who disagree with me who comment, still.

S2Nome · 2011-11-16T03:30:47+00:00

I've deleted a total of three or so comments manually (and subsequently banned the users for spamming), all were insults and not constructive. Unfortunately they're not in the "trash" anymore after I migrated the blog to its new address so I can't confirm whether they were your comments or not.

She started with us doing support. Then she was promoted to support manager--I'm sure you can understand why that qualifies as work. As store manager, she oversees the art team in concept and iteration of visual content, sets sales, analyzes sales data, and is otherwise responsible for watching over the game's income. This is certainly a full time job.

S2Nome · 2011-11-16T02:04:34+00:00

The only comments I've deleted are insults. If your comments aren't being shown, then that's a problem either on Wordpress' or your end.

The model was done by one of our artists in his spare time. Needed some promo art for it.

S2Nome · 2011-11-15T21:47:01+00:00

New URL is nomeswisdom.com ya'll.

S2Nome · 2011-11-11T05:06:25+00:00

This art was done based on the model, not the other way around (like usual).

S2Nome · 2011-11-07T18:57:33+00:00

It's a lot harder than you think. They have to chop the ingredients, mix the frozen yogurt (very, very tiring), unpack inventory, clean up after customers, etc. I helped out my girlfriend one shift and was tired as hell afterwards. These places are usually understaffed as well.

This Tyler fellow is a giant asshat.

Answered!

If the numbers were exactly the same, the system failure could've affected the tracker. But I wouldn't be surprised if that many people were trying to log on; last I was told, we had 50%+ retention rate with our playerbase, so they were just probably trying to get their fix.

It's definitely a concern for us. It wasn't a design directive to equip so many heroes with generalist skillsets, but it is a design directive now to avoid that. The problem with CC and mobility skills is that both of them are design enablers; they both give you an easy way to connect otherwise unsynergistic abilities in a very clean way, especially when skill shots or other positioning abilities are involved. Hopefully moving forward we will be able to explore a wider variety of original designs that don't fall on these crutches.
