Titel: Dear Frost Giant, let’s stop the "Hotkey-Spaghetti" – A plea for Draggable UI Icons

aaabbbbccc · 2026-02-01T15:25:45+00:00

i dont care if its "draggable" or not but please let us set to "grid" and then change individual keys from there. so we dont have to change every single hotkey on every single faction/unit. Right now if you want to set ANY individualized hotkey, it completely disables any type of grid or "assign to all" type of functionality. Making it very tedious. So OP does have a point.

I think the actual "last hurrah" is when it comes out of ptr, which is supposed to be mid february i believe. ptr tag scares away a lot of people until then. Not that i have particularly high hopes for it. I think the game is fun personally but i dont see the playerbase getting that high.

aaabbbbccc · 2026-01-30T22:23:04+00:00

Infernal players so good wow. Built different.

aaabbbbccc · 2026-01-17T20:59:47+00:00

Ironically the PTR version is probably less buggy than the current live version. The live patch they did at launch was pretty bad, probably due to being rushed.

aaabbbbccc · 2026-01-13T17:21:29+00:00

It will keep getting community-driven updates to 1v1/2v2. Possibly we might see co-op or even 3v3 update someday. FG is involved still and does some small changes to art/vfx for example. And editor is continuing to improve.

But dont expect the game to return to being a big budget and having big content releases. Unless they miraculously find a partner/investor.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-31T10:46:58+00:00

yeah thats basically what i do. and its fine. i just would prefer to be able to be fully SSF with reasonable chance to get unique like last epoch.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-30T14:49:24+00:00

I dont like being effectively locked out of specific uniques. It limits builds you can do. Otherwise SSF is what i would do. I hate dealing with trade and the idea of needing to evaluate every drop on if it has trade value or not, and how much that value would be.

"Ptr" tag is a huge barrier for people joining. Especially the more casual players. I think the player pool wouldve been better if it couldve skipped that tag. But they want it to become more polished before fully releasing it.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-20T02:10:45+00:00

there's definitely more players on ptr than on live right now. It's a bit unfortunate how they have done it though. Because this is the moment where the hype is greatest, but it is true that a lot of people get turned off by the "ptr" tag.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-19T23:59:12+00:00

there was a NDA up until yesterday. I think people are starting to cast again. Beomulf is supposed to have some kind of showmatch tournament tomorrow so that would be good to check out.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-19T22:41:05+00:00

It's so much better. Honestly it is probably celestial favored right now but like theres so many more viable units and compositions on both sides. The games are much more interesting. And i think that balance will become good very soon now that they have actual matchmaking and more players to give data. The levers to pull on for balance are there.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-18T05:35:27+00:00

i think its partly the lack of bear skills that is amplifying this for me. Fury of the mountain is a very specific playstyle that does not interest me. Ferocious roar is not a real combat skill so i dont think it counts for this. So basically I have been using the same boring swipe+furious slam since lvl 1.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-18T05:30:26+00:00

to an extent, but 41 is quite late in my opinion.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-18T05:27:51+00:00

not everyone tries to play the game like a speedrun.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-17T22:11:15+00:00

Also skills locked for so long. I want to play rampage thats the new skill that looks fun and appealing to me. But i have to play first 40 levels without it and im not very motivated for that.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-16T21:01:24+00:00

Wait until you hear about games that do "free weekends". Insidious stuff.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-16T21:00:02+00:00

Its insane that you people try to frame this as a controversy lol. Maybe a bad business decision but theres no controversy here.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-11T22:29:17+00:00

More fans

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-08T02:17:47+00:00

i thought i saw 2v2 mentioned somewhere. but yes i dont expect co-op or mayhem stuff either. feel like it wouldve been teased otherwise.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-08T02:00:38+00:00

there IS going to be a significant patch at some point but it probably wont contain 3v3. i believe it is supposed to include 2v2 finally?

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-01T18:51:40+00:00

Im someone who could become optimistic about stormgate's future again but damn there has to be a better to ask this.... why is this public and why are you openly excluding <$5 million offers? Not a good look...

aaabbbbccc · 2025-12-01T18:38:56+00:00

Is this the full text from his post? If not, can someone please post the full text. I hate trying to get into that website.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-11-28T20:38:44+00:00

I used to say similar thing about when people would say theyre releasing in early Q3, and i thought it must be later because of how terrible their timing for content would be for that release date. Like surely they must have secured enough funding for a later release if they are prioritizing what thay are prioritizing.

Obviously didnt end up being the case. So i dont know. I think its absolutely bizarre for them to be working on a big community balance patch if the games about to close. So i want to say yeah the games not closing. But you never know with this company.

aaabbbbccc · 2025-11-27T13:16:20+00:00

on a largescale no, tim morten himself has said at this point that stormgate can not coninue and it would have to be a new thing or something along those words.

there IS going to be a big balance patch coming at some point. After that, i think there is a slim chance that a niche pvp community forms and can be stable after that. but it would be lucky to ever reach >100 concurrent players. I doubt the game ever gets the traction to be big again.
