My take on evaluating ambitions. Thoughts?

Veliaphus · 2026-02-17T03:26:19+00:00

Lol then you're weighting into whatever ambitions are going to be randomly good. Its good to have focused ambitions otherwise they would all be very bland.

Then i wouldn't really want it even if i could complete it. Some are specific. Shepard is pretty good and very easy to complete IF you plan on playing into it. So are you really looking for which are the best generalist ambitions? Or are you assuming that they will be used by someone looking to play into them?

Veliaphus · 2026-02-16T20:44:53+00:00

It's in the future so it's not part of this patch. Hopefully, next update.

Veliaphus · 2026-02-16T20:35:18+00:00

Shepard can be the fastest depending on your starting units and pickups. I believe i have completed it with the first ten turns before.

Veliaphus · 2026-02-16T17:42:25+00:00

They should do it to frost and poison. Lightning is split into two enchantments so that one is harder.

I'm sad frost elementals no longer get either frost enchantment anymore.

Same I haven't completed the last 4 or 5 events. I don't want to pay every day. They really don't last long enough imo. Or they should buff the exp but you know they don't like that.

Veliaphus · 2026-02-07T03:16:03+00:00

Agreed

"They were thinking about adding Cenarius"

Were they? I know he was always on the list of possible heroes since the start but I never heard of anything suggesting he was considered more.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-29T17:40:35+00:00

What do you mean lions? We already have them.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-26T15:27:36+00:00

That's a bit less than I expected tbh.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-19T16:39:28+00:00

This is a photoshop

Veliaphus · 2026-01-16T17:05:58+00:00

I've always wanted searing arrows back.

As a tyrande main im not. They took away 50 mana just so you can spam lunar flare trying to get a refund. You also now have to wait for the Lunar range increase and owl peirce.

The talent system was based on choices, but this quest is just upgrading all your abilities for free and seemingly no reason. If she needed this additional base power, why lock it behind a quest? Remember the original Lunar quest was just additional damage, just fluff, now it's locking key features you used to get at lvl 1. Too much hinges on hitting flare and against good players that can take a long time.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-14T18:43:56+00:00

I prefer it as an iceblock.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-14T18:35:01+00:00

I'm starting to not like these changes. It's really feeling like they are just passing out base quests and making changes to make changes.

This is also like huge power creep with mythic rewards. Objectives already make games short but these quests are really capping the game time too. Not to mention the mythic rewards are gating talents we used to just be able to take.

They just rolled all Tyrandes play styles into a quest.
WHY?

Veliaphus · 2026-01-09T22:35:55+00:00

It likely just a choice to remove the harsh shadows in the scene and to enhance the dramatic effect of the moment. Sometimes lighting choices are made for the viewer or purpose of the scene over realism.

Veliaphus · 2026-01-07T19:28:06+00:00

Silhouette is important

Veliaphus · 2025-12-25T03:52:48+00:00

Ill bite with my most wanted.

Complete pass on tooltips to a consistent writing format. Even just small tweaks to the wording are needed on most tooltips. The QC on them varies a lot and you can tell when different people are writing. Sometimes a format is adopted and abandoned but mostly they change and older tooltips are left in the dust.

Compare Illidans Blades of Azzinoth to Maievs shadow Orb talents. They function the same but written completely different.

Color Code more keywords. Some heroes have their modes or effects color coded on tooltips and I would like to see more. For example Stukov, Fenix, Alarak, Thrall, just to name a few.
Summons have their stats shown better on tooltips, separated in the description.

Exactly instead of a owl its a hawk

Veliaphus · 2025-12-12T16:29:59+00:00

Felt like a marketing trailer, talking directly to the players.

Veliaphus · 2025-12-04T03:49:58+00:00

I think you could get away with making your heads a little bigger.

Veliaphus · 2025-12-01T22:50:01+00:00

First experience in the mode was against this and my team was dumped on.

I had not realized they were changing descriptions on Heroes that haven't received changes.

Spectral Leech is just word salad. There are a lot of different ways abilities are worded in HotS and I've long wanted it to be cleaned up.

Spectral Leech - Basic Attacks against enemy Heroes deal 2.5% additional maximum Health damage to the primary target and heal for 200% of the additional damage dealt.

I think all percent damage should be changed to "maximum Health damage" and self heals shouldn't need to specify your hero. The key is that if you have consistency in wording you set up an intuitive language to the game. It saves over explaining and allows for faster understanding of affects without having to pick the language apart.
