News of the week
Level 3 bots, they did seamless maintenance to change them to pop for the top 10% rather than 20%
They merged skirmish and elimination, it might be something they do in the future with new game modes.They are working on changing it so that if a preference is set people will be matchmade into that mode, they are doing a maintenance tomorrow morning, they want feedback on this.
Double xp this weekend, 24th to 27th
Community even order, tribute games won. There is also a tribute event list to play tribute only in market town.
Black friday sale, 25% off season pass, 60% off the game.
No content of the week this week so people can spend steel on the heroes.
Q&A
They are waiting for Roman to talk about the Shaman, apparently he is some way away,but they do have news.
Any news on changes to salvage? They have several ideas they are working on. No ETA on anything yet outside something may be announced season 5. There was one thing someone noticed that in the patch notes someone could destroy gear for xp, they had thought of it early on but people could buy new levels in that way.
Will there be things like feast of the underworld in the future? Yes they are thinking of different things like that.
Warden plume ornament, when? The team have ideas but the next few months are taken up.
Could there be an event with a faction vs faction game mode? It is an idea they have had, for the moment they have not figured out how to do it well. They are thinking about it, maybe for an event, but how and how well, they don't know yet.
Will patch frequency go up with the patch overhaul? That isn't based on the size of the patch, they have to produce the content, test it, put it through the submission process etc.They have done more than 13 big patches since launch,not including any server patches, so they have done a lot. Also any time they do push too many things at once they risk introducing new problems.
Will realistic mode and endless march ever be implemented fully in a single permanent game event? They do plan to do things like that but not permanently because of splitting the community, this was why they merged elimination and skirmish, maybe it is something they can look at in the future merging play lists. One thing to note is that the event status often makes them more popular for that time.
Other than double xp events, are there any plans for xp buffs? Good question, they do have a future plan and ideas regarding xp but no hard details to give yet.
Timesnap replacement (the question called it this in any case), they are hard at work on it, they had a team issue which meant they had to pause development for a time, it isn't a timesnap replacement, it is lag management.
Shaman balancing. they are looking at how she is performing and the feedback coming in. They have already said she has a bug in tracking making the pounce hard to dodge, this is being fixed in next big patch, it is ready but they can't submit it now. There is a live patch coming with fixes balance wise. Wildcat's rage hits and normal block recovery up to 800 ms from 700
Nerf to predator's hunger, predator's mercy, wildcat's rage cancel to combat idle costs 24 stamina up from 10
Wildcat's rage damage down to 20 from 25, wildcat's swiftness to 20 from 25, pounce to 20 from 25, basic opener heavy down to 27 from 33
Range of predator's hunger down to 1 metre from 2 metres.
These are all due in the next live update, should be next week, maybe before next Den which is why they are telling us now but no guarantee. Tracking on the pounce is due to be fixed in the next title update which is stuff they can't generally do in the live updates, that is usually around middle of the month.
They are targeting this for next week, emphasis on targeting. They think she is an interesting character, she has a complex and complete kit which was one of the goals. The issue at the moment is all of the moves currently are a little too good, she was supposed to be able to do near everything but not be the best at everything. They plan to go a little bit step by step, they don't want to break her, they don't want another valkyrie overnerf/rebuff, but they are listening and working on it.
Did level 2 bots in duels get buffed? No, not that they are aware of.
Performance issues on pc? There is a nvidea issue they are investigating, a workaround will be posted on reddit. This mostly seems a laptop issue.
Still working on reworks, apparently Damien loves the new kensei, but they are polishing animations at the moment. Damien said not any time soon, Roman said there should be stuff soon like three seconds later so...hey I just write what they say.
Community corner, maybe more questions after.
Q&A part 2
Any plan on guardbreak counter after parry? They released a lot of fight system changes, nothing on parry yet but should come this season.
Will they ever revert order refresh times? They have gone forward eight hours. They said all the orders were moved because they were refreshing different times, they could investigate the actual hour.
Any chance of faction war coming to portable platforms? They will see if they can.
Will they ever add campaign armour? This is not really feasible as it is not compatible with the multiplayer customisation system. They would need to rework it and lose a lot of detail, they might look at something but not soon.
Where can people send videos for the community corner? Reddit, message community managers, etc.
Nobushi sidewinder is only hitting one minion at a time now. They were not aware of this but they will look into it.
PC gamefreeze on end of dominion, they are still working on this.
Are there plans to store item appearance because of inventory size. They agree it is a problem, they have a plan they are working on but it is in the design process so it is a way off yet. They are also looking at increasing inventory limit, it wasn't possible the last time they looked into ways and means but they are looking into it with the improvements since, might still be no mind you.
For Honor subreddit are doing a season 4 tribute tournament on all platforms from 1st to 3rd of December. Also a 1v1 tournament this sunday battlefy search for awoken gaming esports.
And that is a wrap.
