Apache Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 The new map is horrible. Please try again? accountzZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 I take it you had a bad game. Please elaborate. Also HI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accountzZ Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) I agree with Apache, its laggier than usual, I have new computer so I don't slideshow lategame, but its laggy throughout the game. don't like identity of this aeon of storms in general also, me and the people I use to ih regularly with would agree that we prefer whale's aos. Also get rid of my grandmaster/tourney winner badge please. with few games I had recently on a smurf (so I don't get called out on having the badge), it definitely does not feel like aeon of storms we played back then. ofc players like me and apache here will always keep coming back in hopes that you would probably do something like go back in time 3 years ago, but yeah I feel like the problem into getting back into aos is literally the map, minimap is dark and the map itself is feels freakin huge despite all the new features. tldr: game is A$$, like the inside of it, not a good kind either. ofc I would respond this negatively after seeing what I played regularly for 4 years be gone. despite everything I said or what apache just said, we will still come back to see the game, at least theres always a chance Edited October 7, 2018 by accountzZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 Do your google research on SC2 Lag and FPS, you will find that it's endemic to the game itself as it is not optimized for newer systems. And I know you will always come back, I see you making it into a point to 'review' the game with every other patch and taking a shot at it whenever you can (these forums are another a good record of that to say the least). There's no pleasing everyone. And we can't go back in time. AoS today is for people who still enjoy playing it today. We can't and won't cater to ghosts. As devs we still find time in ours lives every few weeks/months to do a (thankless) job of trying to refine the game, update it so that it is compatible with Blizzard updates, try to keep it fresh, and fun for those still wanting to play. Keyword being still. Fact: Every iteration of AoS was divisive, gained players and lost players. Had its fans and its haters. The last 2 years happen to coincide with the twilight years of the game client that hosts AoS itself. This is a not an argument against present day AoS. It's been difficult as a latter day developer to navigate through comments from players who hate on the game because it isn't what it once was/they aren’t who they once were (Nostalgia) or because the current player pool isn't as skilled or varied or generous, rather than because of its current game design and aesthetic. Nothing stays the same, but we still manage 2-2.5 games at a time during peak hours after EIGHT years, and after 1.5 years of this revision of AoS. Games don't drag as much anymore when its 5v5, and when it's a solid 5v5 it's still great. The new map requires getting used to, it only feels big because you're not familiar with it and because you have not adopted the new tools and choices available to you. That's all I will say on that. Now I won't tell you Harry what to do, but I will tell you that you're beating on a dead horse. If you genuinely want to improve the game, offer constructive criticism, because we listen within reason. As for Apache, I have nothing but the utmost respect for him hence why I am curious for his perspective, and whether his comment had anything to do with the bad game(s) he had immediately before making that comment.

Destroyer Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 So you should probably do something about lifetech. The item is pretty much required on every single hero in the game. Either up the cost to like 5k or severely nerf what it does. Reducing damage, debuff immunity, and healing are wayyyyy to much for an item that costs 3k. As for the map itself eh. Its not bad and there are some pathing issues I feel. And middle lane just feels weird. The towers being so close to that ramp just make it hard to do much. But overall its ok.

Reducing damage, debuff immunity, and healing are wayyyyy to much for an item that costs 3k. The damage reduction (which now reduces incoming and outgoing damage), as well as the debuff immunity last for 1.5s of game time, which is about 1s of real time. That's literally the only buff the item received in years and it was done in response to people complaining about the lack of variety in anti-slow/stun/debuff items. Now do you really think that 1.5s of debuff immunity at a 75s cooldown warrants a T5 price hike? I think its too soon to tell if the latest tweaks are enough or not, but I've seen the item less at play since 2.25 came out. 12 hours ago, Destroyer said: As for the map itself eh. Its not bad and there are some pathing issues I feel. Pathing is always gonna be a work in progress honestly. It's been improved in every patch. I find things in the pathing editor that surprise me that I did not catch before even though I am extremely thorough. Citing examples and sending replays helps. 12 hours ago, Destroyer said: And middle lane just feels weird. The towers being so close to that ramp just make it hard to do much. But overall its ok. Are you referring to the mid-lane of 2.0-2.25 or the midlane of 2.26? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 I played last weekend so then. As for lifetech every single person buys it. EVERYBODY. I started to threaten to kick people if they bought it. So yea debuff immunity plus heal plus damage reduction is pretty good. And it gives you a good amount of hp and spell resist.

Adam updated the map on Sunday or Monday, so I'm not sure if you saw the new mid. But I remember long time ago one of your critiques was the curved style of the new mid lane. In 2.26, the midlane was redesigned to look more familiar and simpler. We'll see about lifetech. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathbringer Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 3 things: 1) is it realy impossible to add previous sound for double kill, monster kill etc? 2) check properties of taser & frozen since it's use range sometimes doesn't work properly. 3) why mantle cost was increased so much?

We'd have to dig through very old versions to find what you're talking about. 2) They both have a cast range of 8u, but the range indicator for Frozen's active doesn't show all the time. Will see what we can do. 3) I assume you're talking about Superheated and not Electric Mantle. It was done (along other similarly intended nerfs) to delay the domination of the STR or tanky meta. It's a recurring concern over the last period that STR/Tanky heroes and their items being too difficult to manage. Exploring different options to reel them in.

Deathbringer Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks a lot for fixing sound. I really appreciate that. MOTHER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xacent Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Super happy to see that Rory got a badly needed update to his W and E sounds. I expect more people to start playing him now due to this alone 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOTHER Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Come again? The audio/visual updates are intended to maximize the use of SC2 assets and make every hero/item's assets as unique as SC2 allows. Also making audio/visual cues unique can improve the gameplay experience. Balance-wise, Rory is in a good spot and has been a long time. Or do you think he should be changed in someway?

DreamCrusher Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 think nano should be changed.. if youre going to have the heal and debuff, it needs to have a much longer CD... significantly hamstrings burst/Dot heroes as they use their kit, and once they get em below 30% any DOTS removed and insta heal MOTHER 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisher Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 While rory haven't been changed in a long time the items around him has. That being said he's still useful, but his E is far from what it was way back with the implementation of various ways to heal or remove debuffs. That being said I'm not sure if anything needs to be done or not - potentially reduce the healing effect on targets affected by his E? Or if a part of the damage can't be debuffed.
