How are you enjoying the fact that its a free game? This isnt a free world you commie shit. Hi-Rez need to make money somehow. And quite frankly they are being very generous to the community.

I've had my worst freaking games this past couple of hours, my ping just spiking and spiking at random times making me play horribly with no way of anticipating or adjusting to anything.

I want to console Maeve about her 18-year-old washboard and trick her into taking a shady drug!
Hudson Butler
Didn't have it bad until right now. Lagged hard and died when it stopped.
Christopher Cook
I want to take Maeve off the streets and feed her ALL the eggs!
Christopher Hughes
PREACH IT BROTHER I THOUGHT TRUMP SUPPORTERS BELIEVED IN HELPING AMERICAN BUSINESS NOT GETTING HANDOUTS
Nathan Jenkins
i want to kill maeve and all waifufags!!!
Robert Fisher
I hate the fact that it is f2p the. It's holding the game back with jew practices. If they sold out at mid tier pricing with optional skins it would probably do well.
Brayden Kelly
I hope they bring back Barik.
Nathan Sanders
Barik and Survival are probably the fixes. Maybe they'll tweak prices again.
Joshua Jenkins
It would be as dead as BB.
Daniel Perry
f2p is mandatory to stay competitive in this market. There is no way Paladins would be able to compete with the bigger FPSs.
Dominic Cooper
wait, so siege engine can be destroyed? does it mean you can delay an entire team if you actually focus on it?
Jason Flores
They dont need to "tweak" prices they need to scrap essence alltogether or this game is going to be deader than Michael Jackson.
I can't believe they're jewing us this hard, hey guys we heard you wanted to spent your gold so now you can do it, aint we great devs xD? (NOW YOU JUST GOTTA SPEND 8 TIMES AS MUCH GOLD AS YOU NEEDED BEFORE XD)
Jordan Adams
no? where did you read/see that?
Hudson Johnson
Damn man, it's been like 20+ patches since that was a thing. I still miss it.
I wouldn't be so sure. Stillborn was straight up garbage and with some more marketing it would be able to compete at mid tier pricing.

>Essence Good in theory, garbage in practice.
>Implemented as Gold sink >Intended purpose Revamping the loadout system along with Legendary cards
>Actual purpose Obfuscates card unlocks for anyone new to the point where they could unlock ONE champion and get ONE legendary off of the 36k starter essence and be stuck with default loadouts and default legendaries for everyone else while playing the roulette wheel of Radiant Chests because, and this is important enough to sequence break for --
YOU ONLY GET ESSENCE FROM DUPLICATES OF WHICH YOU WOULD HAVE NONE IF YOU ARE A NEW PLAYER
Sure you get a *ton* of chests from leveling up mastery and account... But comparatively it's a drop of water in a raging ocean that just keeps growing larger and larger.
With the projected champion count clocking out at about 35 by the end of 2017, new player counts are going to stop dead in their tracks and the game will stagnate harder than Tribes Ascend.
>Numbercrunching Not counting unlocked default loadout cards, a full unlock is 25250 Essence, plus 36000 for both legendaries, which means fully unlocking a champion manually is going to cost around 61250 essence.
You get 3 random drops per Radiant Chest, unless you have Booster in which case you get 4, and that averages out to about 800-1100 essence per chest for someone who had about half of everything unlocked.
Just estimating off of those numbers, you would need about 1908 chests to hypothetically get everything by the end of 2017.
(25250+36000=61250)*35=2143750 Essence. Right now at 22 champions it's 1347500 Essence.

Gabriel Parker
Well, new players would certainly not stick around for very long when they realize that the only thing they can get are champions, a few cosmetics, and that they cant even buy cards for the champ they want.
Then, after getting their first dupe, they realize how fucking impossible it will be to get a legendary after they spent their first 36k essence, and the game gets unfair/grindy/stale with 0 progression past new champs, so they quit
Colton Miller
best explains it to people who cant or wont read
Chase Ortiz
>profile says i own every card >double check each champion >doesn't give essence for duplicates Should I just not open chests or what
Brayden Perez
dont open them idiot all chests are broken
Connor Thomas
its a bug. but youre gonna get refunded for any essence you were supposed to get from opened chests. but its better to be safe and not open them yet.
Ryder Lopez
Video is irrelevant, there's no trading between players so the value of gold currency is purely to the whims of LowRez.
This whole shitasco can be boiled down to something simple: They jacked up the price of cards to the point where it takes forever to get the build you want. All the essence and shit just throws RNG and shit to obfuscate the true cost of putting together your favorite build. Good luck if you don't already have the normal cards because the Legendaries are a bitch to grind for veteran players and takes almost forever for newbies.
Joseph Turner
I still haven't gotten my retroactive welfare chests. Has Hi-Rez said when they'd go out?

tf2 is free its not pay to win what gives
Brody Cooper
Paladins is not supported by a multi-billion dollar digital distribution service
Jaxson Smith
TF2 and, due to similar circumstances, DOTA2 are exceptional in that they were games that were used to move a platform, rather than make money.
Kinda like how Google holds on to Youtube at a loss; it's meant to drag people into the program/company as a whole, even if it looks like that service in a vacuum is losing them money.
Carson Rodriguez

Michael Reed
>implying valve supports tf2 at all and not just grab random shit from the workshop and put it into cases
which is exactly why this game is fated to fail instead of creating it for the purpose of creation, hi rez is milking every single thing they can from it before it even came out of beta
Bentley Rodriguez
what proof do you have that steam supports tf2?
also >steam >multibillion lmao
Cooper Sanchez
>Implying the tf2 and Dota 3 teams are in the red
ebin
Nolan Turner
You missed that user's point. TF2 is (was?) deliberately run at a loss after the F2P conversion as a honeypot to draw people to Valve's exclusive platform, Steam.
Paladins can't function that way since HiRez isn't a distributor; they don't have a service to try and hook you into.
Grayson Roberts
Are you aware how huge steam is?
Luis Harris
>guy streaming on paladinsgame twitch >freaks out when he finds out you can't use gold to buy cards anymore >gets visibly mad >suddenly shuts up and says alright i'm not gonna go there (prolly to not upset jews at hirez)
William Butler
Was it z1? He's on now and he still seems pissed.
Noah Smith
So when do you think the chests would be fixed?
captcha relevant:digital ramps
Parker Ward
no man that guy just said the cards were cheap rn because they were giving out chests (KEK)
I meant some guy with a beard who was streaming before him.
Josiah Ross
>try to run the game >game closes done when it finishes loading
What did Hi-Rez mean by this? I can't get my daily login FUCK!
Jackson Walker

Sounds like IHOLDSHIFT then.
Logan Flores
>Haven't played since Shah Lin release (didn't play him) because I started messing with other games >Roll back on in >All of these new changes This is kind of overwhelming desu. The new characters after Sha Lin seem fun though after messing with them in the firing range, especially Torvald and Maeve.
Luis Parker
>spend the entire match fighting a Dal'Mamba/Thorval combo on my own around the objective as Ying >Only other guy doing his job is this Victor who's whacking their flankers >The rest of my team is just dicking around wherever Sure seems like a huge influx of new players.
Jackson Martin
Restart steam
Lucas Cox
Is there a steam group or something? I want to group up with anons. (I'm EU)
Juan Williams
Isn't it JUST Torvald and Maeve, unless I'm forgetting someone?
Isaac Phillips
Tyra, the Dakka Queen.
Ayden Perez
Has any else noticed a huge increase in XP received? It seems like I'm getting 70k even for a loss whereas in OB43 that would be like 30k XP
Hudson Clark
double everything event
Jacob Kelly
All I ask is to get decent teammates, Why is that so hard?
Charles Morales
>Balance I just wish hirez could get one fucking thing right.
Jackson Reyes
Fucking hell, guys. You're really serious about not joining /palg/ until this gets fixed? It might take a week, or worse, a month. You know Hi-rez.
Jordan Ramirez
chests fixed yet?
Jonathan Jackson
It also might last forever. What a pity.
Alexander Cruz
where are my chest though?
Daniel Martin
i just wanna open my treasures
Bentley Lewis
Does anyone besides Cassie and Sha Lin have good legendaries are their defaults?
Joseph Davis
Pip, Fernando, Viktor, and Makoa Pip's mega potion is boss
Landon Peterson
So I'm new to this game and I've been opening chests but every other chest gives me a blank card, whats going on?
Elijah White
Don't open your chests, everything is bugged as fuck right now. Wait till they fix their shit
William Gonzalez
>Makoa >10% more damage than old Makoa I just don't know, man.
Same here I logged in today expecting them, but still nada This is starting to piss me off
Kayden Baker
This is coming from a mid level player that enjoys the gameplay of Paladins. Everything else surrounding the game is fucked up. It's kinda ironic I'm perfectly willing to drop ~30 bucks on this game but I'm just not sold since you have no idea what you'd be buying due to RNG jewing. Might drop 30 bucks and get nothing but shit in return. Even the founders pack offers nothing of value really. And who would ever buy temporary boosters with real money? It's dumb enough to buy skins for games but at least that's something permanent.
How the fuck did you even lose that game? Tyra on the other team must have carried hard.
Nicholas Ward
How did they botch the patch so hard
Austin Walker
Yeah lmao especially coming from Dota 2 where you can grab a way better skin for 2€ granted that's ridiculously good value but still 20€ for what Hi-Rez are offering is just way too much
Dominic Allen
just turned 175k gold (70 radiant chests) in 81k Essence, 3 Legendary cards and a lot of MVP poses, emotes, sprays and unneeded cards.
175kG -> 81kE + 3 cards seems ok to me
i'm not a fan of getting' legendary cards as drops, i would prefer a ton more essence so i can chose which cards i want to spend it on
but it's not as bad as you faggots were screaming here
the new PvE is shit easy tough
also - fuck you low-rez for changing default loadouts and locking those cards
Owen Gomez
share my clickbait
Carson Hernandez
now imagin being a new player without gold saved up from 30 hours playtime
Thomas Lee
Any bugged chests? I'm reluctant to open my treasures while game is fucked but I'm simultaneously growing impatient
Connor Sullivan
>smosh Can't believe they still exist I used to love those guys
Jose Lewis
I love this game but the matchmaking makes me fucking furious sometimes
Connor Young
oh I've opened 9 already wish I've known that sooner, oh well thanks for the heads up user
Ethan Price
yes I've opened about 30 and saved 50 for later. Apparently Drybear will reimburse those who got duplicate cards that didn't turn to essence
Ayden Richardson
How about allowing players making training-mode-only (and for custom games that allow this as well) decks, where all cards (and legendaries) are unlocked?
Wouldn't this be new player friendly?
Elijah Parker
I'm more worried about the phantom empty cards people have been posting screenshots of a lot in here what the fuck is up with that
Jonathan Evans
Sometimes the tables are turned but steamrolling one way or the other isn't much fun.
Kevin Rogers
>their first theme song parodies were uploaded 11 years ago
Time sure goes depressingly fast in retrospect
Levi Wood
Lmao jesus christ the scores on the enemy team, that must've been hell for them.
Liam Anderson
What if the chests expire and they take it away from you?
Blake Howard
Their Buck, Grohk and Makoa just kept flinging themselves at me while Drogoz was high up in the air shooting rockets at me I saw coming a mile away. Grohk and Makoa at least ran away when low on HP but Buck didn't give a fuck. I just danced the entire match around the objective. I saw their Maeve flailing around the flanks like a retard once in a while. At least I had a few laughs.
Pic related was more balanced, despite the other team scoring low too. Not because they we're that bad but because that Fernando was top tier. He actively protected me every step of the way so I could heal the team up without having to fall back from being pressured. In the end he even bumrushed into the freshly respawned enemy team so I could push the cart over the edge.
Paladins can be so much fun even if there are just two people working in tandem in a team.
Brody Lopez

>how did you lose that game Because I had shitty teammates,
Anthony Clark
CAN THEY FIX THE FUCKING CHESTS ALREADY SO I CAN PLAY THIS SHIT GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Alexander Powell
no, got 4 out of every chest, all essence was ok
but i did have a lot of cards unlocked before opening chests, so.. .
