This game is so much fun.
I think I did well in this match. It's the most I've died though in the 3 or 4 matches i've played I only die about 3 times.
"Casual matches" says it's "against other players", but it seems i'm only getting matches against bots?
One good thing in comparison to Overwatch - From my initial impression, the supports seem so much more fun to play.
I enjoy supporting but in Overwatch it's just a bit of an annoyance sometimes due to how squishy they all are. Lucio used to be able to tank damage back in the beta, but they nerfed his health(then buffed it back up a bit because they over nerfed). Don't get me wrong, I understand why it is like that in Overwatch, but it's a refreshing change either way.
Once you hit account level 5, you'll get matched up against other players when you choose the "casual" mode.
It's...a weird decision, especially considering you can play vs bots in practice mode, and still get account EXP.
I would assume it's to help alleviate the issue where newcomers come in to play casual only to get demolished by smurfs.
Really loving this game, even bought the founders pack after my first match as things clicked for me immediately. But I gotta say it's pretty tiring seeing all the Overwatch fanboys STILL feeling the need to shit on every other hero shooter since the only way they can enjoy their terrible game is to trash better ones ¯\_(ツ_/¯
Found only 200 ping servers.
Would see if it gets lowered before buying the founder's pack.
Hi-Rez Studios has plans to support the growing Paladins player base with servers in key locations across the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, and Australia.
And yet posting things like this doesn't do you any favors either. I play Overwatch every week and played Paladins earlier today for a bit. It seems pretty neat so far, but it's obvious that it's still in a rough state that lacks the same level of polish as Overwatch (though I expect it to improve as updates begin rolling out). I don't know why you feel the need to call it terrible just because Paladins is the one getting picked on right now.
Why is not there a rocket league f2p clone?
People actually giving games a chance before shitting on them would do everyone a favor but you don't see anyone doing that either. And I call it a terrible game because i gave it several chances and it never did anything even remotely interesting or well and yet the games that actually deserve recognition based on merit are swept under the rug in order to make the more popular game seem better than it really is. People SHOULD be able to enjoy whatever they want, but people have this idea that everything in videogames is a competition and that one game has to "lose" for their favorite to "win"
And exactly how many chances did you give it? You didn't just play 5 games with only 3 characters and call it a day did you?
People like the game not because it's revolutionary or anything, but because the mechanics work really well and there is a diverse cast of characters with fun personalities in an established world. The game is friendly to newcomers but it's also possible to be an expert player too.
Now I'd like to ask what do you think Paladins deserves merit for thus far? It seems like a competent team based multiplayer shooter but what do you see in it that Overwatch lacks? I hope you're not just letting the trolls get to you and forming some contrarian viewpoint as a result.
lacks the same level of polish as Overwatch .
Yeah he's pretty fun.Having fun with Fernando hah.
I've tried it a few times a week ever since launch with friends that are really into it and never had a single game that I would consider fun, it's just a badly made game with an enormous following willing to overlook all those issues.
Paladins fixes all the mechanical inconsistencies that Overwatch uses as the foundation for it's gameplay. Like you said, OW is not revolutionary it just does what many games before it did but not as well as they did. Paladins deserves merit because it's mechanically sound with well rounded/balanced gameplay that appeals to casual and competitive players while managing to do what it aims for well.
The maps are well thought out, the gunplay feels great, the sound design is spot on and the character designs are awesome and leagues better than OW's generic stereotypes.
instead we live in the real world where babies complain that they feel threatened by better games that come out and do what their favorite titles do even better than them.
Go look at this thread and try and tell me I'm making this stuff up
Judging from Smite I don't think they'll ever get there.
Not possible to upgrade on controllers? Did a practice siege with Grover and noticed I could purchase items but couldn't use coins to get them to the next level.
Game is playable with controller on PC ?

Tried it, think it is suicide(Probably me,never fancied controllers), but play with whatever makes you have fun.What I meant is, it is not suicide to play this on controller against players with K/M on PC ?

So far I'm getting the hang of using Kinessa. BTW, about the voice lines. Do they plan on having them fully voiced by the characters eventually? It seems weird to have only a handful of them coming from the character while the rest are from the announcer.

I sure hope everything related to the announcer is placeholder, because he's absolutely awful. Even Overwatch's generic robotic female voice is better
They probably will all get their own voices or it might follow the Smite route and you will have to pay 200 gems to get their voices instead of the generic one.
He's fine. He just says what needs to be said without any needless exaggeration, I don't have any problems with him.
I know they talked about voice overs in the past... I don't recall what they said though.
edit:
I remember a lot of vsay commands did have character VOs before. I haven't messed around with it too much since open beta but it seemed like there was less.
He's the epitome of dull. Much like the Gametrailer awards dude, he was so monotone and boring
Yeah I guess it's important to remember that the reason it feels unfinished is because it is. It's quite solid though, been enjoying it way more now that I get to play against real people. Communication isn't a thing though, *no one* uses the chat, or voice commands or anything.
Yeah, lack of in game voice chat is a downer. Especially coming from more than a few games that support it. Been using VOIP apps like discord at least to make up for it, but with randoms that is a bit much to ask.
I've never been really big into vsays, but individual voice overs could help make it more useful I I think.
Heh, League of Legends still doesn't have VOIP and I don't know if it ever will. Riot says that VOIP promotes toxic behaviour (which imo is bs) :/
adjust fov in optionsPlayed my first game since closed beta. I often play tanky in other games and as other have said it is quite fun here.
Played my first game as Makoa and I'm liking him. I'm a bit rubbish with his anchor right now but I feel like he can still be effective without it if I get some nicely timed shields.
Barik is still my guy though however I do miss the old card system where I could make his turrets very strong.
Also, is it just me or is the view really zoomed in? I haven't checked the options to see if there is an fov slider but it seems a lot closer than other games. I am having a little bit of trouble dealing with attacks coming from the side especially with no mini map.
I can imagine it does. But Blizzard is also very anti-toxicity and it manages to be okay in overwatch. They don't let you even chat in hearthstone unless you're friends. I bet there is a lot of work to keep it clean for OW, with GMs for banning people who are too toxic.
