August 2017 Tuning Discussion - PRELIMINARY

[Liebhild]

I think lots of nerfs wouldn't be needed or demanded, if defense would have the same probabilities like offense.

F.e.
Wrath on defense deletes almost every time all beneficial effects. I'm happy if my wrath on offense deletes 1 or 2.
Same with SSD on defense. SSD taunts almost whole team everytime, while my SSD on offense taunts only 1 or 2.

NF never answered why they give the artificial dumbness this advantage or how high it is.


(Try to fight your defense on auto with defense team = offense team. Should be 50/50, but it isn't).

And again we have another lost match because of the game hanging into an idle state where you can not do a thing other than exit the match, for @Devs reference this time was against Gmac at 1:07 CST,
This has been reported by many time and time again month after month, I really hope the issue gets the attention it deserves, what's being done?, I see nothing on the bug fixes.

LoL! Eternal gets a special set of talismans at the end of the week and it works for one week only, it's called win blocker. If AI feels that you are winning, it activates the talismans and the game freezes

Lol, You might be on to something, currently seems that shaolinlondo is going to be eternal this week and guess what, @NF game got stuck vs shaolinlondo @3:34 PM CST.
Seems now they pre-award the talismans to the soon to be eternal, maybe they have @Therealclairvoyant working at their side, hopefully she can help @NF to FIX the darn BUG ffs.

For how long it has been around I also feel it should have been fixed by now.

However, it really seems the worst kind of bug to track down: no clear steps to reproduce it and I have a feeling it doesn't occur in debug mode (I pray they do have at least such a tool).

That being said, nothing a crash dump can't pinpoint over some times investigating.

Same topic: I had something very similar happening to me in PvE but it was progressive:

Bug description:
I was on auto-farm, game of death stage, none if my characters had a 3-tap move.
Out of nowhere, in the span of 3 or so turns, the AI got exponentially slow at taking decisions.
Graphics were not affected and were still smooth.
It got to a point the controls at the top were unresponsive, could only switch the target, very similar to the "game-hanging" bug.

Could be a different one or not but, in any case, the way it happened really felt like the AI reached a live-lock.
Or something close that took long enough to look like one.
Best of luck, NF, to deal with that stuff.

ps: Didn't post in bug report forum for some reason.

I had a "Draw" in GoD today. Something that has never happened to me. Happened on auto-play and didn't see it actually happen but screen said Draw at results screen. Did not know it was even possible lol.

Death blow against reflective shield? In this game anything is possible! Quit playing again due to freezes & rank went up! Nice f'n game!

I wrote that in many threads, in most of the cases game freezes when a toon that can remove buffs is resurrected and right after it's resurrection the remove buff skill is used.
I only get a crash/freeze when that happens, i have to adjust my kill order in pvp(yeah i know it's sad..) so that it won't happen but sometimes it's inevitable due to counter talis.
A simple solution to crash/freezes would be to implement a timer for each battle so that you can restart the game and continue the battle if you are on time. This will still protect the game from hacks(that's why we loose the matches when a crash/freeze happens) and the players won't loose matches that they shouldn't.

My only loss so far this week is when that happened. Clairvoyant used her fury - revived Red Buzz - kind of.

The white circle appeared for Buzz - but he never did.

Then buttons disappear - stare down begins...
