BardicKnowledge Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Holy shit hook is always max range from level 1. Best noob killer ever! Can't wait to kill at runespots with it. 0:00 ganking galore.
zircon Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah, this really makes Devourer more effective overall. Normally, he can do a ton of damage simply by getting an early Vestments, thus significantly reducing Decay damage, and then getting high level decay. However, you NEED the long hook to get people INTO the decay, and by the time you get to the point where both hook and decay are maxed, that combo is already losing effectiveness. Now, I think the build should be Hook - Decay - Armor - Decay - Decay - Ult - Decay - Max Hook.
Dhsu Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Oh man. Just played an AREM, all AGI, duplicates allowed, instant respawn. No stats, of course. I got Chronos. I highly recommend it.
Tensei Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Yes you read the correctly. Due to some issues and other things we are not going to be patching the beta client today. I know you are all disappointed, but look on the bright side...We are going to patch fully functional replays into the test client. Yes, Replays are done. So to sum it up, this test client after a patch today will contain: Balance Patch full notes Matchmaking Test Replays If only I could get the test client to work for me. I expect the real patch to come out sometime during this weekend, but having replays will be pretty damn sweet. Edit: okay, I'm not playing with leonidus anymore but ill still play with the other shizzies.
eternal Zero Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 I'll be back to play eventually, Tensei! As I type this I'm sitting in my hotel room in NC for my interview at Duke tomorrow morning. I'll be back next month I promise!

Harmonious Dissonance Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 This last game... Ugh... Russian forsaken gave puppet 10 kills mid. Ended in most of our team around level 10 and getting killed every respawn by level 25 puppet. And the god damn Russian wouldn't concede. Got about 20 kills before the base died.

BardicKnowledge Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Now, this is a story all about how This game got flipped-turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute Just sit right there I'll tell you how we balanced the game and made it so fair Near bot lane-n-jungle, he sat and gazed At the full lane was where he spent most of his days Chillin' out hittin' denyin' all cool And sendin' all the kids back to the pool When a couple of guys, who were up to no good Startin' making trouble in his neighborhood He lost one big fight and raged everywhere Then demanded we all make the game way more fair! Y'all said we're so bad and had all this fear That no change would be fresh since we won't do a mirror If anything you said that such a patch is rare But we just said 'Have some faith, yo' - 'Don't be a square!' We rolled out a patch around seven or eight And you yelled to the devs 'Yo homes did us a favor!' We looked to our kingdom It was finally there To sit on the throne as the game that's most fair... The S2devs are awesome. Also, the new patch is up.
djpretzel Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I believe that was the first post made on our new server, FYI
JadeAuto Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I believe that was the first post made on our new server, FYI New server seems to be faster. Longcat must approve, somewhere.
Ajax Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 (I'm the invisible near-invisible poop spot on the bottom of the screen) First game on the new patch. Not sure If I've ever had a better game (stat wise). If things keep up like this, I may make my 1.0:1 KDR goal sooner than I planned. Also, I think my psr has normalized at ~1625.

Your Deadwood has a disturbing lack of portal keys.

Bahamut Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 New server seems to be faster. Longcat must approve, somewhere. The new server is much better from what Dave has told me - +5 GB RAM, CPU x4 faster, 4-5 times the space, etc.
Dhsu Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Your Deadwood has a disturbing lack of portal keys. Didn't you say a Pesti/Pred-style item build was better?
JadeAuto Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 The new server is much better from what Dave has told me - +5 GB RAM, CPU x4 faster, 4-5 times the space, etc. Sweet. It's definitely rendering pages faster (and if it's a noticible difference, then it's definitely worth every penny).
Tensei Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Didn't you say a Pesti/Pred-style item build was better? Portal Key should be gotten on Pesti too. Insanitarius is perfectly fine on deadwood, though I find puzzlebox provides you with a decent amount of DPS and a shitload more utility. Daemonic Breastplate is probably the best lategame item on Pred, Pesti and DW.
eternal Zero Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 So how do the new balance changes feel? Am I in for like a huge shock when I come back or is it a lot of hype for nothing?
