[QUOTE=Zeos;53027736]No matter how many fucking times you say this doesn't make it true, and I [I]like Paladins a lot[/I]. The Card system has been fucking awful since day 1, the game modes have been buggy and they keep introducing characters that make old ones obsolete entirely. There's a new DPS hero that has a basic ability that does MORE DAMAGE THAN ANOTHER'S ULT. And that other character's ult was considered brokenly overpowered.[/QUOTE] Did you seriously expect anything different? Call me butthurt over them destroying Tribes Ascend, but I have no trust in Hi Rez to balance the game or create a fair f2p economy. They're lucky they got such a loyal fanbase for Smite that keeps feeding into their other games.

[QUOTE=Zadrave;53027746]Sounds just like Overwatch to me, minus the cards. What are you going on about?[/QUOTE] Have you actually played overwatch, it has problems for sure but comparing it to this garbage fire of a game really doesn't work.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;53028304]Have you actually played overwatch, it has problems for sure but comparing it to this garbage fire of a game really doesn't work.[/QUOTE] That's implying that Overwatch isn't also a garbage fire.

You got gold login bonuses, gold for your first 3 wins of the day, gold when you leveled up your account AND when you leveled up individual characters. You still do, it's just that you were able to buy the cards with gold alone, but now there's a whole other currency taken straight out of Hearthstone & co. that fucks everything up, by making you put your gold through a filter of loot boxes -> getting duplicate cards -> receiving the essence from those cards. Just like Hearthstone, it diminishes the player's power while hiding this under the guise of LOOK, LOOK, YOU GOT A THING! AND ANOTHER THING! Did you see THIS? You [B]could[/b] get a LEGENDARY!

It's like you're driving a car where all the bits and pieces rattle around and don't quite fit together. It's still a game I'll probably come back to every month or two, though
[media]https://twitter.com/Totalbiscuit/status/949364036059222016 [/media] His point is over exaggerated for twitter but I certainly understand, I certainly don't think any game has done it right so far. Though I somehow doubt Paladins will be the game to get it right.
TB strongly believes that there's very little wrong with devs ripping each other off because it's how genres evolve and change and I have to agree with him. If this battlegrounds mode in Paladins does poorly and fails to bring attention to the game then they will just go back to what is currently working.
Can we get a Battlegrounds game that doesn't have a tickrate slower than me mailing the server?
[QUOTE=Zeos;53028506]Can we get a Battlegrounds game that doesn't have a tickrate slower than me mailing the server?[/QUOTE] CSGO is getting a mode apparently for some reason, and it's tickrate while slower than it should be is still fast for a massive online game.

Actually doesn't look awful, although they've very blatantly lifted a lot of assets from previous maps which looks a bit.. uncanny. I'd probably play it if hi-rez weren't otherwise dedicated to ruining this game. It's quite sad since it had a lot of potential to beat overwatch for me but eh. They left old problems unfixed and introduced a bunch of new ones.

Gosh that game was bad. Gave it a full try with some friends and we just couldn’t do it. What a shit show.
