now I want art of Skye trying to seduce Maeve with the latter blushing and getting really flustered, with Skye being completely unaware Maeve is a girl
Reminder not to support the new cosmetic changes even if you don't give a shit about cosmetics because: >voice pack limitations do nothing for optimization, indicating that these changes are literally just to copy Smite where they shit out skins and recolors that aren't that great >they will continue the trend of just copying Smite, which is half as popular and 10x more stagnant and repetitive than Paladins >voice pack excuse they had about immersion is nonsensical because you will still be able to use default champ or basic voice pack with any skin
>the excuse about the mix-matching limiting skin potential is bullshit since there's already model-altering skins and there has been a skin before that just unequipped all other skins and only let you use it in a set
>like with cards unbound, devs are using the excuse about new players not understanding things as if anyone who plays video games has a sub-50 IQ >real issue is the outdated tutorials and lack of in-game guides, but devs will keep dumbing down the game if you let them >they will use this excuse for everything since people will listen anyway
>reverting the changes to the cosmetic system will be near-impos
Bitch all over plebbit, the forums, here, the Discord. Don't let them get away with another stupid change that will ultimately snowball into esomething even worse.
Seeing as most of them have penises they probably wouldn't react much
Jordan Robinson
seems like lian doesn't approve of dicklets
Thomas Gonzalez
no

Apparently the UI complaint was intended on their end, because it's difficult for them to design and manage so many pages. Even though the Store page is entirely obsolete and they could just cut it down purely to the Loot Chest page, with everything else buyable on the Champion like how it pretty much already works. They're just really lazy because they don't want to have to rework or recode anything they might have to so that it actually works better (the store itself always works so much worse than any other menu too) but tossing out shit they've already made is somehow the answer.

That's why Hi-Rez will never be a big deal. Always copying games but then never putting in the effort to make it great.
Liam Myers
Maeve belongs to the people.
Cameron Mitchell
that's a cute goose (haha), mind if i save it?
Alexander Morales
This is what I always thought of them when some friends introduced me to Smite (didn't play it much and went back to dota), but I feel like with Paladins they're genuinely trying to do something above mediocrity, it's just really hard for them
Aiden Butler
Either that or the execs keep telling them to just half-ass their ideas for the sake of making the game a cash cow until it dies. I'm sure they've got actually passionate devs there like Holt was.
Jackson Myers
Well if they want to turn it into a cash cow then they better get to making a pirates/imperial navy skin for everybody so I can justifiably blow my paycheck on this fucking game
Carson Peterson
No she belongs to me
Juan Watson
>2 Smite only has a handful of skins for the gods with a specific theme, so there's only a chance you'll get like 1/4 of the roster having a pirate skin at most.
Gabriel Miller
all cat women are queens
Nathaniel Johnson
maeve likes girls
Tyler Taylor
should I be getting outhealed by Seris on Mal'damba
Angel Hall
if she meows, she's a thot
Andrew Foster
That's why I think it would be smart if they focused on making full themes (i.e. thematic skins for every champion, announcer, loading screen, etc.), and not just 3-4 thematic skins. But as we already discussed, they tend to half-ass everything
Not him but how do I git gud with slower arcing shots like Makoa and Pip? I'm trying to become a better 'rock' for my team but all my favorite essential (read: not shitscan stick n move fags like Viktor) champs get a bit hard to use when I'm under fire
Matthew Cruz
that looks awful even if it's a sexy maid outfit smite has some coo skins but they're totally lying about not being able to do it in paladins with the current system.
Asher Hernandez
yass queen slay
Nathan Sanders
Seris can group heal on a ~2 sec timer with the right cards and her group heal can heal allies further apart than damba, so it is a lot easier to get high healing
Elijah Russell
Maeve likes anyone for money.
Adrian Watson
woah, smite looks like THAT?
Caleb Reed
So now that I've tried Seris and realized the girls get played for reasons other than their looks, who's another fun waifu to dominate with? Also, anyone else love Seris almost strictly because she's Forsaken/Undercity incarnate? >goth chains and dark robes >BEAM OF SOUUUULS heal >qt like Sylvanas
Gourd and snek both have like, double the cooldown (at least) of Seris's heal ray, cards considered. Higher frequency + people not dodging your healing = higher heal output. Because whenever I damba niggas never stay in the gourd.
Thomas Howard
Barik's clearly the old 'Scottish warrior' dwarf archetype, but dorfs live in mountains so who knows where he's supposed to be from
Mason Morales
Reminder that Seris can double as a tank with the right load out.
Lincoln King
maeve is from america and does a bad french accent to hide his identity
Bentley Thomas
no maeve is french
Jackson Cruz
>Who's a fun girl character other than Seris? >Seris reminds me of WoW Not that complicated
Parker Thomas
i want maeve to be my gf
Jason Wilson
To late she's my girl friend
Tyler Butler
Pip only needs to arc at super long range. The rest seems about as fast as mid range cassie. Make tiny up/down adjustments with each shot til you get direct hits.
>Pip keeps trying to flank >dies >spams we need to group up >I wait to group up while he and the rest of the team is respawning >Pip respawns first >runs past me >jumps on point >dies >spams we need to group up
Jacob Young
>no vagina that's not what futa is you dickhead.
Charles Morgan
who's another fun waifu to dominate with? ignore this homo erectus . Lian is a bitch to flank because of her ult and the easy auto aim attacks, Cassie is similar but she can fuck shit up with ability combos.
Leo Barnes
Noted, thanks. I'm trying to avoid playing any braindead characters until I git gud with the ones that require some level of skill (no offense Viktor/Tyra/Vivian/etc mains)
Joseph Martinez
Or you can get good at the basics and transition into things that require more from the player
Jose Torres
To be fair I'm not bad with hitscanners, I'm just trying to avoid falling into a habit Happened to me in Bf1, Helreigel is a helluva drug.
Noah Edwards
You know, with the removal of bits and pieces of skins we'll be seeing less bald champions probably.
I can accept full skin reworks, as long as the weapons and voice packs can be selected individually.
Jaxon Bailey
weapons will be the only things selected individually i think. won't surprise me if they restrict that too though
Cameron Sanders
>voice packs can be selected individually. oh sweetie
Benjamin Lopez
>was sort of upset over voice pack removal >you still have the option of using the champ default
I'm okay then, I guess, as long as I can spam Evie's default voice.
At this point I really don't care about cosmetics. You can say "BUT THEY MIGHT DUMB DOWN THE GAMEPLAY NEXT", but they've just undone a bunch of shitty gameplay aspects, so it's fine.
David Bennett
>voice packs can be selected individually um excuse me sweetie but if we did that then people with dutchman makoa could use the plushy voicepack or vice versa and that's just too confusing for the playerbase
Andrew Mitchell
>We don't want to create confusing, theme-breaking situations like this: If a champion has both a robotic skin and a demonic skin, equipping the demonic voice pack on the robotic skin breaks the overall theme and could be confusing to other players in the match. Players that are playing with skins in the game are essentially advertising our content to other players. We want those to be presented in the best light possible. It's confusing and might make our skins look bad
Robert Ortiz
inb4 they merge weapons with the body and whales get fucked again
Brayden Phillips
I'm sure they'll drop weapon swapping too, can't have normal torvald with a purple blob arm that wouldn't look good ;).
Caleb Cruz
you can select between default character pack, or the vp for your currently equipped skin
Dylan Russell
Guys, Hi-Rez has been improving the game for a good while now. Paladins is on it's way to become a fully polished, stream lined hero shooter, even with a mobile version coming soon that has some great optics. The game is expanding and cutting away all that it doesnt need. Are we really gonna have a big discussion about voice packs? Voice packs have no meaning whatsoever for this game. In fact, it might hold the "Immersion" as they say it back. Which makes sense. Look at all the big, "Professional" games out there. Almost none of them has this voice feature. Why do you think that is? Because it doesn't look professional. It breaks the purpose of your skins. Now that Paladins is on the rise, it has to continuously ask itself "What features need to come and what need to go?".
So far they have been doing a good job. Making a deal with Tencent, now we got the Chinese market who seem to like us. They removed card unbounds Then they updated the textures, now the game looks so much better on higher end machines. The mobile market will help promote Paladins even further since there aren't many good MOBAs on the phone. They compensated us with so much gold and VIP points. Lately Hi-Rez have been at their best. I'm stunned to see so much drama over an unnecessary feature.
And no, this is not an opinion. It's a fact. For this game to thrive, this feature is better removed. Look at the competition again, they don't use it either. Because let's be honest, it's silly. Poor game-design. The game needs more content, polish but also be simplified. At the end of the day, we need to focus on the bigger picture: Making Paladins a great game that can keep up with the likes of TF2 and Overwatch. In order to get there, decisions like these may be made more often.
Ryan Price
>hi-rez shills will defend the use of default monotone faggot voice pack in paladins or shite if that also exists there >hi-rez shills will defend its very existence instead of having the character's fucking actual voice be the default voice pack I legitimately don't think anyone would defend it though.
They're removing a nugget of fun, you cockgoblin. I like my nuggets of fun that aren't directly related to gameplay.
Josiah Ramirez
>guys they've been improving the game >yeah man unbound happened but they removed it choking. i know it's a honorary ribbit post but jesus we have this fucks defending every retarded decision
Brody Fisher
Who's a fun girl character? I ranked up all the dudes I like so now I wanna try something different Its an Asbergers thing, I was always stuck being the Pink Ranger and shit when I was a kid playing Power Rangers with my friends so now I try to avoid being girls in games
