Heroes! For this Big Balance Beta we are aiming to shake up the meta that has settled in the game. The primairy goal is to focus on bringing up weapons that are struggling with a low pickrate where they have a hard time to perform their role compared to existing competition. Some of the weapons with…

[image] flisker: It is a core game mode, highest difficulty, therefore it needs to be balanced around, it also has QP. I don’t see how this argument makes sense, saying that weaves are different so it should not be considered when doing balancing. It is backwards. Weapons shouldnt be balaned…

[image] Adelion: Weapons shouldnt be balaned around Weaves. Weaves are balanced around weapons. So you’re saying that they should also re-balance Weaves while balancing weapons ? That’s obviously no-go from what we’ve seen in past. [image] Adelion: but the ranked Weaves are composed in a…

[image] flisker: Ehm, not really, there were some exceptions, but mostly no. Even in that S1 insanity, we did it with kinda same weapon sets, just switched hero here and there when it was needed. Didnt say it is impossible. Said it is not recommanded. Of course, we have the super-meta weapons…

[image] Adelion: Didnt say it is impossible. Said it is not recommanded. Of course, we have the super-meta weapons which can solve about any problem. Which is exactly what should be tackled. If a weapon for example has a really devastatingly strong single target damage attack like the pickaxe th…

Today there was an update to the beta game but the update notes from steam shows only this general bbb link and there is no link to the changes. Anyway it’s impossible getting here from the bbb forum as well. Suggested topics shows outdated links to old, 2.xxx patches.

A lot of nice changes (sienna’s flail i do love) Some good, but not sufficient (hello bardins dual axes). Some replace bad talents with another bar talents (bardin’s ale) But some are plain bad: removal of crit on kerillian’s dual daggers & sword and dagger is just a straight nerf to shade. Th…

Why is exec sword getting nerfed but Axe and falchion, next-level broken-ness, especially on zealot, isn’t? AF is easy to use, fast attacks give more damage way easier. Try both weapons to solo fight a stormvermin patrol in cataclysm you will see AF is so so much easier to use and as a result so m…

[image] Shield: Why is exec sword getting nerfed but Axe and falchion, next-level broken-ness, especially on zealot, isn’t? I really hope they remove that nerf and we avoid the Exec fiasco. But, Falxe keeps getting nerfed over time, I don’t think it can take more nerfs at this point, if they…

What does " PROGRESSION WILL PERSIST BETWEEN THE BETA AND LIVE GAME" mean?
