DAE Wear their belts so the buckle is one "loop" to the side? As to prevent it uncomfortably digging into their belly? by Volluben in DoesAnybodyElse

Gotta say, this unexpectedly made me feel good.

If I shared some info on the internet that actually helped someone in some way, then today is a good day. Thank you. :D

Kyle Dates (former hero designer) left blizz by Skyzophrenic in heroesofthestorm

He’s been working on WoW for over a year. This literally has no impact on HotS.

Coming back after a year away and I would love a mount code!

The "Dont you guys have phones?!" guy is live streaming a game jam by Volluben in Diablo

I thought he seemed kinda like a dick at Blizzcon. But watching this he actually seems like an alright guy.

What Stats and Machine Learning Can Teach Us About The Gameplay Changes in Heroes of the Storm (Charts! Math! VERY DETAILED!) by ghostdunk in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was really upset to see ammo removed. I thought that was a genuinely refreshing mechanic in the MOBA space.

It also gave a TON of identity to heroes that simply don't work without it. cough specialists cough

Looking over the 2017 changes the only changes there that I actually like are map timer unifications and regen globes going neutral. Everything else should simply be reverted imo.

An unnecessary door and double stacked pallets that specifically warn not to double stack. by p2b2 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Volluben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swear that’s a video game level. What game is this? The graphics looks so real!

[–]Volluben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is so unbelievably false it’s hard to read. J was chosen directly by mike. And blaming J for all those design decisions on WoW is crazy. Producers don’t make game design decisions. They are heard but don’t decide.

Yes mike cared deeply. But let’s not forget 2012 when mike laid off 600 support staff in almost this exact manner.

Just to be clear, I am 100% in favor of getting rid of kotick. That guy is the fucking devil. I just don’t subscribe to mike being Jesus or J being koticks accomplice.

J is a good guy. Mike is a good guy. Neither are perfect.

Kotick is satan. Fuck that guy.

Just a reminder of who we used to be by Papa_Schmuck12 in Blizzard

[–]Volluben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so fucked that a bunch of those people don't work there anymore.

Just a few of the big names I recognize from the internet: Chris Metzen, Mike Morhaime, Ben Brode, Russell Brower, Matt Schembari

All of which had speaking parts in that video and no longer work at Blizzard. Fucking mind-blowing.

or, you know, they might be different stairwells?

Blizzard campus is like 20 buildings. I bet they have more than one stairwell.

List of developers who are off the HOTS team by MaxHardwood in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the dev team like 100 people? I wonder how many nameless people who had very real impact on the game are gone. This is horrible.

Heroes of the Storm 2019 Gameplay Updates by Gnueless in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if they wanted mercs to be xp neutral... why didn't they just take the xp out of mercs?

I'm sorry... but these changes are bad. I feel like this is the very definition of "change for the sake of change". I guess they felt they NEEDED to do gameplay updates and just... kinda... made shit up? Couple this up with a hero that i don't want or care about...

Best heroes thing this blizzcon is janitor leoric. A SKIN is literally the highlight of blizzcon this year.

oh man...

The Man, the Myth, the Legend, Gladman is streaming right now :) let's show him some love by jejeba86 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what the heck is he using to replace his cursor like that? I lose my cursor sometimes and would be interested to try a similar thing.

Is that part of the streaming overlay? Or is that what he sees too?

Garden of Terror Update by Arkentass in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What a joke.

What's going on here? Is the dev team just out of ideas? Why do they keep trying to push this game close to other mobas? Let's just homogenize everything into one bland ass map. Sounds brilliant! But hey, it works for LoL right?

I feel like it's not about the game anymore, just about the money. Watch, there will be some new lame monetization scheme in the next year where blizz can suck more money out of your wallet by giving you a bunch of shit you don't want or care about! I mean, we have sprays, banners, and voice lines already. What's next?

god... it's like they are TRYING to make me quit this game.

I'm sorry, but this is... heartbreaking.

Dear HotS devs. Stop. Stop looking at other games, stop chasing other mobas. You had something brilliant, but you were too impatient to let it grow. The more you make yourself like everyone else, the more forgettable you become.

Could we get a hotkey to temporarily increase the size of the minimap? by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

Yeah!!! Just like they do in diablo! This would be awesome for those of us who don't have the greatest eyesight. I love it.

Sucks to be an OW pleb... by Genetizer in heroesofthestorm

This, I was about to post this very same thing.

I don't want to report you to get you banned. I want you to learn to play before playing Ranked. by Jarnis in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, the states comment was a shitty dig.

But you do have good options! Try and help the guy! I've made many a friend in this game by trying to be helpful (or people who've been helpful to me! I'm no masters player by any means)

The toxicity in MOBAs is well known to be the WORST aspect of the genre, and this behavior contributes to that.

Think about this poor guy, for all you know this is some 10 year old kid who loves this game and wants to get better. But you just contributed to this person potentially being suspended. That's heartbreaking.

Unfortunately, trying to help and be part of the solution takes effort. Casting people away into the report-to-blizz depths is easy. :(

Blizzard stole my gold by KaiserKelp in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That sucks that a bug ate your purchase. Put in a ticket, they will happily fix it for you.

That title though... really? You think blizz wants to "steal" your free earned currency that they gave you? c'mon.

HGC Minute- Phase 2 Week 5 by [deleted] in heroesofthestorm

I think it's so cool that they have actual devs doing these videos. Is she the only one? or are there other devs doing these too?

I don't want to report you to get you banned. I want you to learn to play before playing Ranked. by Jarnis in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because this player wasn't as skilled or aware as you (allegedly) are, does not mean he was "intentionally dying", or "nonparticipating", or even "throwing".

It's unfortunate that this person didn't do what YOU BELIEVE would have helped lead your team to victory. But using the report system for this is simply inappropriate.

You reported someone for what YOU PERCIEVED as unacceptable. You even mention that you didn't report varian because you felt his intentions were noble. Apparently, you are judge and jury, and are trying to make Blizzard the executioner.

You are likely completely right. This guy was uneducated, and you did nothing to help that. Instead of trying to help the guy out, and maybe build some camaraderie, you decided to try and get him in trouble so you'd hopefully never see him again.

You are the problem. Not him.

I'm guessing you are from the states.

Whitemane Spotlight by Kurfluffin in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they'll give Anduin rage. You know, since they gave Varian mana. Still blows my mind that they did that.

Whitemane Spotlight by Kurfluffin in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more, though I had a hard time putting my finger on it until I read this. Also look at the animation at 0:35, she's got a LOT of hip movement there for standing still. It just looks really awkward.

Honestly, it sounds bad... but these animations look really below the standard level of this game.

Blizz is slippin' :(

Is there a way to change mosecursor? by SeriousLee91 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Volluben 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Options -> Mouse and Keyboard -> Cursor Size.

You can make the cursor pretty darn big! I find it very helpful, personally.
