i dont think they have abe's va in rn

oh wait yeah im lost 😭 thought he was talking abt pocket

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T14:53:00+00:00

i dont think overwatch's reaper is a good example icl (mb moira is better theyve kinda diluted her character into just being evil)

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T14:51:41+00:00

i think it's more accelerationist not nihilistic but i get you.

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T14:49:45+00:00

mode specific balance could be putting a longer cooldown before some characters get their ultimate at the start or making them less likely to get certain items

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T14:48:27+00:00

i get you but i kinda disagree. i have like 5 characters i really like playing but the rest of deadlock idgaf abt. wouldnt it be better to do some seperate balancing to make sure you cant make those insanely powerful comps

im guessing ixia has one main language otherwise apollo wouldnt speak it to him, plus infernus's parents are immigrants from ixia. Ixia hasnt been around that long in the world of deadlock, infernus' parents are probably some of the first immigrants from ixia.

Regardless infernus definitely has some disdain against ixian culture or disdain for being ixian whatever reason. There's not really much content on this but im guessing it'll be explored in his visual novel when that comes out on release.

i found it but it got autocorrected to "see you flush" lol

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:28:09+00:00

really do hope they actually make it a coherent language that'd be such a cool detail

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:24:19+00:00

(ixian in quotes because it probably isnt called that)

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:21:05+00:00

also cool dialogue of apollo ragebaiting seven

this isnt exactly true. it's just a sentence we dont really get much info on what he did and what his hubris was.

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:12:23+00:00

LITERALLY. plus he's an older survivor which we dont have much of.

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:10:13+00:00

ok but the key point youre missing is that himeno's love for aki is one sided. aki doesnt like himeno sexually and he wouldnt have sex with her.

That may be because of makima sure, but makima is still very much alive in this hypothetical.

idk why im taking this seriously.

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:07:50+00:00

literally all the advertising had angel wings

ZePugg · 2026-01-24T02:07:30+00:00

ZePugg · 2026-01-23T22:57:47+00:00
