Warrior's Den October 12th
Most people here know my faction so I am not going to ham it up (about run out of ways to in any case). Congrats to the knights, good luck vikings and samurai next season, samurai pushed the last two rounds and vikings could have taken one or both of the first two.
No info dump from Eric, I believe new content is an elite outfit.
Apparently next week is going to be pretty exciting.As for this week, Luc will talk more about the upcoming tournament event, Bio will talk about faction war, there will be a Q&A.
Known issues that they are looking into.
Unlock whiff tech has been removed due to them fixing unlocks. People say the zone is unreliable, some people might need to relearn this (the example Eric gave was some people said they push one button after another, no,you have to hit both together) but they are looking into it to be sure. Matchmaking issues on PC, it affects people who had PTS. Galaxy 5 pattern has been changed and people are unhappy about that so they are looking into that. Out of stamina bar used to blink,it isn't now, next patch it will be fixed. Minions can stagger players which isn't intended. Too much tracking on warlord shield charge, they know about that. Placeholder IDs on some legendary items. Match freezing at the end, they are working on that. Quit penalty when the freeze happens, they are looking at that. Sickle rain is happening to allies, they need to look into if that is intended. They are getting feedback on valkyrie not being able to cancel shieldbash.
Realistic elimination this weekend.
Elite outfits are content of the week.
The captains they named for the dominion tournament last week have built their teams. Some of these are 0.1-3% players in terms of wins,time spent and kills. Keep tabs on forhonorgame on twitter for when matches are taking place.
Faction war update.
Season has gone to the knights,knights had started dead last in territories leading up to the last turns from14 territories in turn 55.In the last turn the knights won all of their contested territories which is very rare. First time the season has been won before the last round. Vikings can still be second by the end of the last round. The vikings and the samurai apparently spent much more of the round attacking each other than the knights. Apparently the volcano territory received over four million assets, 26% more than any other territory. Next time Bio is on, they will talk about updates for the faction war in the new season. Knights will receive rewards at the end of the season as usual as second place is still up for grabs.
Q&A
They will tell us about the Mask slot in outfits next week.
Something slipped through the cracks in the patch notes, the two new heroes have new gear sets which they showed pictures of.
Apparently the guardbreak on stairs fix didn't make it into the alst patch, it will be in the next one.
What are their plans to address current issues in ranked beta? They are working on a new rank as currently there is no incentive once people have reached diamond. People will need to keep fighting to stay in that rank.
None gold weapons coming or not? Yes and no, depending on the character.
They investigated if it was possible to invite friends to open matches, that would take a rework of the system, it is not something they can do easily for the moment.
Duel find new opponent, they don't exclude the last person you fought so there will always be a chance, it is something they are working on but no ETA on that currently.
Flashing out of stamina bar, this will be fixed in the next patch.
Unlock tech, they addressed a lot in the last patch, yes people are finding more, that is an ongoing project. There are some nasty ones still,more prevalent on PC.
They are looking at allowing people to be attackers in bot games, they would need to change how the current match initiation works.
Size of patches, a lot of this is maps and variations, one map is actually a whole different number of maps like with characters and gear. They are working on making patches smaller with the same amount of content and they want to fix it but not yet.
There was a question on incentives for lesser played modes. They have ideas but nothing they can talk about yet. To answer the specific question over more rewards on lesser played modes, they don't think that is a good idea as it is currently balanced for time and it would force people into game modes they don't want to be in.
Creating new fighters is 6-9 months work, maps are 5-6 months.
Community corner.
Next week's show is apparently going to be a fun one, a bunch of surprises. That's it for this one.
