Completed Scheduled Restart - September 13, 2017

I don't know if this is an issue, but Corkscrew Blow and Backspin Blow on the Brawler only hits 3 monsters at a time. I know when pirates initially came out, those skills hit 3, but then it got changed to where they hit 6 monsters at a time. Is it possible to make that change?

 

When staff tries to implement nerfs with virtually no notice or discussion...... again. TriHard

 

I understand people being upset. I haven't been around enough to know how the staff usually handles these changes. Perhaps people are upset because there is no precedent of this happening, however, look at it from an administrative side.

The changes may not be permanent. The changes may be reverted. This may just be a sort of stress test so that the staff can monitor things and may be the best way to gather data.

Why don't you give feedback once you've played with the changes so that you can help the staff make a better game?

Anyone that's played DotA2 can see the results of this type of balancing.

 

3 times within the past 3 months. Some things never change.

 

Because it's really easy to see for the staff what will happen after they nerf it, since you nerf a static drop number. Not really comparable to a MOBA, so it shouldn't be handled as one either.

 

Can't help curing the cancer of the community buddy
Now they actully have to work hard for mesos like those who couldn't farm at gobies feelsbadman

 

It's about the principle and you're not looking at the bigger picture.

If you don't see this there's no point in talking further about it. Agree to disagree.

 

Fucked over once more

 

TriHard

 

Staff collusion to keep you forever in debt to loan shark deriboo TriHard

 

lol

 

was the third?

 

don't forget it compounds every 2 months franco
it was me all along

 

With the amount of time this game takes up some choose to work smarter rather than harder. Don't be mad at us for your self imposed handicap when you had equal opportunity to pursue the same time saving measures as we did.

 

I don't play dota so I'm not too sure how Valve handles releases, but Riot generally releases patch notes at least a few days beforehand for League. Compared to this situation, where things are seemingly randomly implemented with a few hours notice, it feels like communication is quite lacking.

 

Right, Valve does the same. So are people more upset at the lack of notice then?
I'm not telling people to stop being upset. Like I said, I understand. Nerfs suck. I just think people should let the staff do their job, get what they need, and then they can decide where to go from there.

 

Also forgot to mention, there are test servers where the changes are implemented months ahead of time too, so there's that to consider as well.

I think that most people are generally more upset at the lack of communication. Since June, this is the 3rd time something like this has happened. The other two being the AP Reset price change and the Gach rate nerf. The reset changes were reverted due to backlash and the gach rate nerf was also adjusted for the items people thought it would majorly affect.

 

Also right. However, sometimes it's better to see how changes affect the larger ecosystem. Are we just assuming staff didn't do their due diligence and consider all of this?

It may be a fair assumption, I wouldn't know. Just food for thought.

 

Specifically regarding the AP reset change that was announced that didn't go through, the answer was a yes.

Gives a decent enough reason to at least ask about the changes.

 

Fair point. Inquiries are perfectly acceptable, and I'm sure the staff even encourage them. I also think it's fair that people don't get up in arms right at the start and let things play out. The staff has proven themselves to be extremely competent. There's a reason why this server is where it is. Maybe they know what they are doing.
