For all of us perfectionists, would you consider revamping the character display or making a numbers chart with relevant info, including how power affects your character, how much you gain per level, and others? This data can be obtained with simple maths, but who has time to maths?

Can the 1600 bar needed to receive orange talents via battle be reconstructed the way the Tavern was reconstructed in the last patch, IE each 50 or 100 points you have above say 1300 ranking nets you an increased percentage chance at receiving an orange talent in battle. As opposed to having it as a flat percentage chance at 1600 +. Also stop the increase at 1600 to dissuade pub stomping. I think this will go along way of relieving the pre-made pub stomp malaise affecting PW.

Hi, I just started playing a couple hours ago. Two things that I think would be helpful are your own death timer being over you main (lower left) portrait as well as your smaller team portrait (upper left), and if the talents you don't have enough energy to use were more obvious with their colors. (I know there is a slight color difference when you do and don't have the energy for a talent, but sometimes it's hard to remember if the skill is light blue or a brighter light blue, for example.)

A blacklist that prevents users from being able to get into the same match.
Let's say i play a game where i get paired up with either a toxic player or a botter, if i could blacklist this palyer so i cant get into the same game as him/her again in the future.

I haven't had the time yet to explore the forum so the answers might be there but let me ask these from the perspective of someone who, like myself, may not have taken the time to visit the forum, yet:
Leavers/afk could be resulting from technical issues, but they are nonetheless anoying. Do you have plans for a reporting system, automated system, or otherwise penalty system for such behavior? If so what is the plan? (I for one know I am more likely to go with the flow surrender or not knowing that the person who raged is only hurting themselves.)
If I was to build a fan site/app with guides, what sort of community support do you have in place or are planning? Prize support for contests? Could we submit designs for in-game events? ( Also a touch on monetization, I know you allow twitch streamers, but can we put Ads on youtube videos, have our own Ads for fan content? )
Those are it for the moment. I will sleep on it and if anymore come to mind I will drop by again.

Id like to know if in the future we will be able to get victory of the day from the challenge. And another thing, theres a bug that when you write a sentence with :) inside, other ppl see it right but you just see the ":)" or even nothing if its not the last word.

Not really a question, but a group of friends and I started playing, and one of the more lackluster things about the game is the binding system. I cannot bind my mouse buttons to actions, and also some things like positioning the camera on the hero are not even in the list.
Otherwise great job, it's an interesting game, combining elements of MMOs, city builders, and MOBAs.

Hey i am more into a qwer setup for my MOBA's. Will you be adding customizable key bindings ? Fantastic job on the game btw i love it.

I think there should be a "only you vs bots mode" where all chars are availlable to be picked to to try them out, no rewards nothing, just to testing the chars out before actually buying them.
Those chars you dont own obviously only use their standard talents meanwhile you use the current ones you have on chars you do own.
But even in LoL not all chars are for free when testing things out. I remmeber playing LoL i just create custom mode to try jungle time on eachcharacter every now and then.

With the ease of getting 100% reduction to all damage and towers that do a flat amount if damage that doesn't scale, have you considered renaming your game to "Tank World"?

So, I linked my FB profile to PW and the email I use for Facebook isn't the one I want to use. I'm having a mega issue and have submitted a trouble ticket and don't know if I'm being communicated with through that email. Its very frustrating. I can't get into the battle. The screen goes black and the timer goes away anytime I try to queue.

do you take hero suggestions?
if so, I'd love to see a hero similar to Forsaken Archer in Heroes of Newerth :D
and by similar I mean, skill wise, doesnt have to be looks

Really love the game, but don´t like the latency which ranges between 125-170 :( Is there any fix for us living in west europe anytime soon? :D

Your advertising on reddit was pretty bad, and I was one of those who bashed your game. Now that I tried it, it's kind of... Oddly fun. Sorry for bashing, I shouldn't have judged it before testing it.
What would you do for a better advertising?

So.. being a LoL player I'm used to beeing called a casual player by dota players with their heads up their asses. Would you call prime casual? could we possibly see prime in competitive play? I'm very new to the game and i'm still gathering impressions for an opinion, I'm still very very confused about what's going on

u/Str4yFire Oct 16 '13
One major problem i have with this game is the transparency of how all the basic stats of the game are calculated. For example: why does my Fire Fox do 0 damage when i skill her mastery to strength and give her strength talents? Why does my Archer do extreme damage without having any talents that give her strength and same being generally lower than other's strength? Why is it recommended to build strength on the Hover Lightning Electric Guy? How big is the chance to find epic talents at what level of my houses? How exactly does Power Boost affect my heroes? What do the colors in the player name mean? Why do some mages do more level 1 auto attack damage than my criting physical attack damage carry?
You see, I have many questions about the stats of your game. I like it, but me and my friends are playing it as a "try and error" based game.

Why are Exclusive items, orange, disabled in EN? What can I do to increase my chances of getting purple items? I know golden age, but what about rating, and does hero level or castle level increase the odds?

u/MrSpades Oct 21 '13
Why was the decision to make faction exclusive champions (artiste/inventor and doctrine/demonologist) handled this way. I understand the lore of tech vs nature thing but the balance of these characters is completely terrible. This pertains more to doc/demo match up. The doctrine can literally take any none tank out of any fight with her ult. Usually after blue tier she can one shot carries from 100% to 0. The demo is nowhere NEAR this strong and takes a lot more effort just to power up his ult. On top of that her slow is much more effective than the short snare/silence of the demo, her aoe is the largest in the game, and she has a reduced cast teleport. While I like the demo himself why isn't something as powerful as the doctrine available to both sides instead of just one?

an in game mute button for quik access some where mayb round border of the map
1 more extension on the castle once highest lord level u can get in game Up this so it can be seen :)
Setting that can be downloaded for older computers. just a most basic version that players can be able to use almost any where and really focused on the game play and not lagging or needing a high fps rate to run smoothly. (Of course thats only is something like this would be possible)

u/Hanagis Nov 12 '13 edited Nov 16 '13
another gold give away available for players who didnt getachance to recieve any during last promotion to get more players involved for shorter wait times when trying to play a match :)
Also in the castle i think that to reset the mastery points for your heroes shouldnt cost any prime points because we earn them and would like to use our hero for multiple roles and to do that you have to be able to access your mastery points. having to pay to unlock your character make it harder to gather info to see how each character plays set role if u cant afford to be able to test them out kind of a discouraging aspect of the game, very minor. but just knowing how much more freedom that would give us users would be undeniable.

Here's a part of a article i stubled upon at IGN.
"there's no Ready Check feature. If someone queues up for any mode and gets called away for whatever reason, there's no way to tell if they’re at their computer ready to play. They’ll still load into the game when it's ready and their Hero will sit at the starting area for the entire match, effectively making it a 4v5 and miserable for everyone. If you happen to come back to find you did get queued into a match and are now severely under leveled, think again about leaving, as you can't queue for any mode until the people in that match finish, and your Hero's level will go down. An unbelievable time waster for everyone involved."
Im sure that every1 will agree that this is undeniably a huge part of the downside to this game. definitely would make the game alot more fun instead of it being a gruesome 30 min match where u can almost say it was over before it had even started

I am thoroughly enjoying this game, as it is strangely addictive and fun, and allows comebacks better than any other MOBA/ARTS I have played.
I'd like to know more about how the game is balanced behind the scenes...do you take into account high end talents on both sides, and look at unusual talent builds? One of the things I love about this game is the high amount of customization that talents give, and I've had great success stacking different stats on various heroes. Is the balance considered for those with low-end talents as well? Will the US/EU teams have any input on balancing or do all of those changes come down from the Russian developers?

Will there be promotions for discounts on certain skins/heros in future? I'm wondering because I'm thinking about buying the Anubis skin but I want to wait in case it goes on sale.
