First Impressions...

im sad....

 

Some decisions seem just... way off... worse than random: bad.

Korona is just stupid now. You're really going to make her token ability -- the ability she originated -- an upgrade choice? Wow. Just... wow.

 

Pre-setuped champs! GG no RE!

 

Yeah, the rank thing really pisses me off, too. Useless dive rank 1, 2 and 3. Thanks, unrunnable.

 

When DoW started with all those revamp talks i wasnt skeptical. I was agreed that power creep was going too far, but seriously i didnt expect this. Almost half, maybe more of the champs are just pre setuped with option to give them rank ... this is just lol. I was love POx just because the option to build the champ on the way i want it. Korona is a crap now - its alright ... there must be casualties, but wtf they killed all idea of POX?

 

THey'll probably fix those issues, but daaaaamn, some things are just too ridiculous now

 

Korona is Bane Shift..
Bloodseeker OR lifedrinker OR rend 2 ??? LOL

the other upgrade... Pummel 1,2,3 ??? WTF *"·$P"·!

Mates.. Korona is dead.

 

So out of all the barbarians I own, one has warchief. And the only other three warchiefs are an exo and two legendaries.

Awesome. Real accessible.

 

I am totally disappointed ...

 

Yep. But have you seen Shallaxy? Spoiler alert: She is so stupidly boring that she may actually be trolling. I dare anyone to refute that Shallaxy is a rubbish paper weight now.

EDIT: Do note that Shallaxy's range was nerfed to 1, down from 1-3, on TOP of losing literally all of her "cool" abilities.

I mean, it's safe to say, at this point, that my skepticism was WAY more well-founded than my faith.

 

Fist of bastion got a nora decrease were officially screwed

 

Keep in mind pretty much everything and everyone got ***** equally.

If you're going to compare current rune status, do so comparing to other similar runes from across factions/themes after revamp. Do not use pre-revamp status to do comparisons or all of you are going to be sad pandas.

 

OH...Shallaxy.. but... i.. dont trust....
I can not believe it ...

 

Err... unless I'm mistaken, rune checklist doesn't show the possible upgrades, so we can't check out the upgrades of any rune we don't own... Is that so?

Oh, and when I change upgrades on the rune manager, I have to refresh the page to see the new updated nora costs. It's a bit annoying, methinks :S

 

Mate i keep this in mind! The problem is not that. The problems is not that after every rewamp of any game have something which become crap and other goes OP. For me everything is about limiting options for building champs. Most of the champs dont have diferent options except rank 1,2,3 of something. This is ridiculous.

 

I don't even need to update the client to know that the "revamp" wasn't taken in the direction i had hoped for. I may check it out later, but idk...

I mean, it took them like 6 months to put out, what is by all reports, a ham-fisted set of broad changes. No, QoL changes, no new maps, no new modes of play, nothing. Just a purely stats driven set of changes that was probably done almost entirely in excel, nothing of substance. And did i hear that they skipped spells entirely? WTF?

To Desert Owl Games.

People want a TBS MMO, to pretty much the same degree that they want a Pokemon MMO. You have/had an opportunity to fill an incredible niche and you haven't. What we want is very simple. FFT/Tactics Ogre with collectable elements, tons of map variety, maybe some dungeon-crawling or Risk-like elements, LoL like ranked play, and co-op "missions". You have a what, 10 year running game & there seem to have been no substantial changes since it was first brought online? You have a problem. You've left your player base feeling unfulfilled.​

 

So to steer the conversation away from the QQ my Korona got nerfed, what is considered the best ranged champ in the game and why is it named Skeezick Cannoneer?

 

I'm afraid I can't do that. So many "fun" runes are now boring. Let me elaborate: Owl has made most runes a one-trick pony. The upgrades are no longer dynamic choices, as they were before. Now, they are false opportunities for customization. Runes have never been more cookie-cutter and static as they are now.

Furthermore, in addition to a complete dive in runes being dynamic or multifaceted, they are also more expensive (nora-wise). Now, not only are runes more narrow and one-dimensional (see: boring), but games will be longer, to boot. That's an awful combination.

Finally, Owl clearly punished certain runes far more than others.

Overall, I am almost entirely disappointed, and only marginally pleased. Kudos, Owl. The game is now Yu-Gi-Oh Tactics™.

 

poop

 

Good lord.

A ton of champs were upped to 85+ Nora and look to be shoeboxed now. Prince Malandur is 96, for example... insanity. Harbs are 100. Vothsair Ireguard (!) is 100. He was completely shoebox at 84, and he just got a 16 Nora price increase.

I'm going to have to play a few dozen games to see how the game as a whole feels right now, because maybe I'm way off and these champs work out fine holistically... but it seems like you'd get trampled by cheap cost champions. Not too happy at the moment, but obviously we'll see how things play...
