Sprays Cat Ears Pharaoh Raum Egyptian Pepper Raumses Avatars Smug Maeve Hieroglyph Tiberius Egyptian Ying Animated Loading Frame Egyptian Frame Map Update: Frog Isle General Frog Isle has received a visual rework, and now lives up to its namesake! Frogs! "When it comes to the Frog Isle rework, the primary goal was to push the environment quality up to the high bar we've established for the more recent maps. The secondary goal was to add a lot of frogs; we wanted to make sure the map finally lived up to its name. We wanted clear contrast between bricks and trims, between walls and floors etc. This was to combat some of the washed out, samey feel of the original map. We also desperately wanted to replace the low poly rocks used throughout the tropical art set with something a little more stylized. Frog Isle was one of our earliest maps and I'm happy to have had the opportunity to finally give it a makeover." -Alex M, Environment Artist Video Preview Objective / Capture Point Bend Spawn Room Spawn Exit Kill Cam & Top Play Update Working towards our goal of a higher quality Paladins experience in 2020 we are removing both Killcam and Top Play in our upcoming patch. In their place we will be introducing Death Cards, an improved post-match lobby landing screen, and fixing numerous Death recap bugs. Killcam and Top Play ride the same system, and have plagued our development team since their inception. While we know these systems do add value to the player experience, they have actively worked against Paladins success in the long run. The reality is they were poorly implemented early, have cost thousands of developer hours over the years fixing each new bug that appears, and even with those thousands of hours there are long-time bugs that we can not fix without fundamentally rebuilding the system from the ground up. In an ideal world we would do that, but that's not a reality for the team as it currently stands. Our time is better spent polishing the core gameplay experience, and fixing other bugs that still remain in Paladins. You can read about our full reasoning behind these changes in our recent developer blog. Improved Post-Match Lobby & Death Cards Death Cards Players will now have access to a new cosmetic item: Death Cards. Your Death Card appears to enemies you kill in a match, and features a unique art piece and quip! MVP Screen & Accolades The Best in Class Landing page is new and improved! After a match finishes, players will be presented with the accomplishments of their entire team. Each player will receive a unique accolade based on their best accomplishments during the match. We have updated the Best in Class Landing page after a match finishes to now feature your entire team with a un instead of the top player of specific stats. Each player will receive a unique accolade title based on one of their best statistics showcased throughout the match, in a new backdrop. *These images are extremely Work-In-Progress and not representative of the final positioning for players, and accolade information. Commendations Paladins is adding a Commendation System that allows you to praise your team for their Leadership, Teamwork, or Skill after a match has completed! As you collect Commendations from other players throughout Season 3, you will start to unlock rewards as well. Rewards 100 Commendations Comes Highly-Rated, Limited Title 200 Commendations Gold Chest 300 Commendations Sky Rider, Death Stamp 400 Commendations Diamond Chest 500 Commendations Loading Frame, awarded at the end of Season 3 Restrictions Players will only be able to grant 8 Commendations every 24h, so use them wisely! Players cannot commend the same player in a single day Users who are banned will have their Commendation count reset to 0 General Combat Feedback Update – Dealing Damage As originally outlined in our a Season 3 Dev Blog, we are working to improve our Combat Feedback throughout 2020. This patch will feature our first changes towards that goal, focused around dealing damage to players. We have revamped how our damage numbers behave, and made some adjacent audio changes to make hitting players in Paladins feel more impactful. We want players to feel rewarded as they deal damage, and for that combat feedback to be clear and concise. Please make sure to play PTS and provide any feedback here! We were also working on adjusting some of our in-match HUD elements to reduce the noise a player is presented with during combat, but we were not confident in where it was at near the end of the development cycle for patch 2. We still believe it is too hard to properly identify critical combat information in a match, and will look to remedy that throughout the year. Death Recap [Console] Death Recap is now default bound to Up on the Dpad Loading Screen Art Added Loading Art for all champions with Obsidian and Cosmic Skins Androxus Barik Bomb King Buck Cassie Drogoz Evie Fernando Grohk Inara Lex Maeve Makoa Mal' Damba Pip Seris Skye Torvald Tyra Viktor Including Soldier Plus Willo Ying Holiday Events Four Leaf Grover Available reward for playing any 2 games on the weekend before St. Patrick's Day (Saturday, March 14th, 2020) Termineaster Available reward for playing any 2 games on Easter (Sunday, April 12th, 2020) Customizations Death Cards Purchasable for 300 Crystals The Depths: "Sink into the pitch black of the Abyss."

Came from Overwatch; Paladins is awesome Posted: 05 Feb 2020 01:47 PM PST I tried Paladins back in 2016 and ultimately there wasn't much reason to get in when Overwatch was the best option. Fast forward to now with Blizzard in its lowest low and I decided to return after watching Ster (a previous Tf2 streamer) stream it, and it's mind-boggling how far it's come. So many more new heroes. So many new cool gameplay. And surprise surprise, the gameplay feels so much *better* than Overwatch. I love the credits shop and the card customization. It changes so much about the game, makes you feel more empowered with actual progression of strength rather than Overwatch's cycle of timed ult, rinse and repeat. All the heroes just feel better to play too. Engagements are more drawn out, there's more time for counter play. Supports aren't food. Some heroes' kits feel so much more satisfying than their Overwatch counterpart, like Maeve and Bomb King. I'm a bit sad to see that the playerbase never really grew much after. Honestly, it felt like I got in too late. Paladins is awesome. submitted by /u/Frostivus [link] [comments]

Day 3 of making a meme for every champion: Vivian Posted: 05 Feb 2020 12:04 PM PST submitted by /u/Dblackboy2771 [link] [comments]

Replace Killcam with a FUNCTIONAL and INFORMATIVE replacement, not a Glorified BM Spray Posted: 05 Feb 2020 02:46 PM PST When I made a preemptive constructive criticism post yesterday telling Hirez not to remove killcams, people immediately attacked saying "Why are you complaining already, they're going to replace it with Death Cards and we don't know what that is yet". Now, after the patch preview, we know exactly what Death Cards are: 2D Non-informative Glorified BM SPRAYS ​ Every death, you now have to look at this. Let that sink in. Hirez... Please. If you're going to remove a feature quite integral to modern FPS games such as killcams, please replace it with at least something functional. --- Replacement suggestion I know killcams were removed because they were technologically complex in Hirez's spaghetti code that is pure metastasized cancer to the point that chemo bug fixes has failed and we're now just hacking buggy body parts off to try and save the game, so... So a suggestion is for you to copy TF2's Killcam (click link to video for better understanding): ​ Simple, but informative TF2's killcam is just a basic camera that locks from the PoV of your corpse that pans to your killer then shows you a picture of your killer. This way, you know who killed you, what killed you, from where, and other useful info. Simple. Shouldn't take too hard to code, and shouldn't be prone to bugs either. Since you already put the work into death cards, just have the death card appear on a corner of the screen rather than it being the taking up the full screen. --- Importance of Killcams - A Game Design Reminder to Hirez Killcam is an integral game design of modern fast paced fps games. Killcam should not be replaced with a glorified BM spray. They are there not just to look cool, but also serve very functional purposes: ​ Its removal will no longer help players to learn from mistakes, or learn the tactics of their enemies. Its removal will buff stealth as you would have no idea how you were killed if you never got to see where your killer was. Its removal will buff snipers as you would have no idea from where you got killed, from what line of sight as you never got to see where your killer was. Its removal will buff camping as Killcam was actually a mechanic designed to counter camping in modern fps. It is designed to show where your killer was to minimized the chance of you being killed in the same way again from that same location, and even encourage you to try to go where your killer is to try and kill them with the advantage of you already knowing an estimate of their location. --- Removing killcam without giving us a functional, informative replacement will change the game submitted by /u/BlackWaltz03 [link] [comments]
