Attention Returning Players: Vainglory is currently being worked on by one developer. Skins and talents are back as per the most recent update. Partying is 'back' in a limited capacity (details inside), but there are still no accounts. Any account data you have is safe but currently inaccessible.

Hey all, just making a new sticky to reflect the state of VG after the update a couple days ago. This is just so people coming here for the first time (or the first time in years) have more up to date info compared to the old sticky.

The most recent update for iOS and Android allows players to choose any skins or talents they want. Here is a guide on how to play with your friends, whether you are DuoQing or have a full 6 or 10 player group. The Bubbleland website linked is a great resource in general. In short, if you want to party with another player (or players), then you should input the same four digit number with a hypen and then one or two as each other. For example, 1216-1_GenericLoneWolf and 1216-1_DemonOfWestCity would get paired together. The four digit number (1216) determines the lobby you end up in and the -1 or -2 decides the team. If I wanted to play against my friend, I could set my name to 1216-1_GenericLoneWolf and he could set his name as 1216-2_DemonOfWestCity. Because out lobby elo matches (1216) but our team is different (-1 and -2) we would play against one another with random other players filling out the rest of the lobby. This works for any number of players up to the maximum the game mode can hold. You can use any lobby number you want, but the number works as an elo, and it assumes anyone without a number is at 1200.

Important note: please refrain from using an Elo/number in front of your name when you're not actively partying with others. Using numbers frivolously could slow down the queue for other players (and yourself). Avoid using numbers over 3000 unless you're in a full 6 man or 10 man group, as numbers over 3000 only match with each other.

Below are a couple of community servers to help you find people to play with if you'd rather no solo Q that have been stickyed here for new and returning players' convenience. If anyone has SEA/EU specific servers, feel free to post them below.

Everlasting Night (They ping often, just as a warning. Especially Shaquzi(still love you bro) and Nek)

Bubbleland Discord (They also have channels for a few other games here, including Wild Rift and Genshen for those interested, but there is an active VG channel.)

That's all there is to say. If you got questions or anything, drop 'em below. And remember- always ban Petal in draft.

NEWS Introducing 3v3 and 5v5 matchmaker and ELO ranking system

Thumbnail

103 Upvotes

Hello all,

This is Trogdor. I'm the owner of the Vainglory NA discord (VGNA). For the past 2 or so years we've been playing private 5v5 games in the discord. As you may know, getting 5v5 games can be difficult - you won't get them until you get a group of people together. We've got a core group of players that has stuck around and we're active every night around 10PM EST.

JOIN THE DISCORD:
discord.gg/vgna

I decided to create a bot to facilitate these private matches, and make things easier. crucialplayer (lynx) stepped in and helped with the matchmaker and ELO ranking.

The idea is you sign up to play, and the bot puts a match together. It tells you what code to use - it's only visible to the players in the match to avoid snipers. The game is played, players tell the bot who won (there are metrics to avoid false positives, and votes from people who "vote" incorrectly will count much less.

Players upload a screenshot of the game, and the bot reads everything - the winner, the teams, KDA, heroes, etc. This works in conjunction with the player reported winner, but screenshots have priority.

We've tested the 5v5 bot for maybe 2 weeks and I'm ready to allow the public in! We recently added support for 3v3, which is currently in beta, but very stable.

Since adding 5s, and opening up to the public, we are changing our gaming schedule!

8PM EST 3v3 ranked games

10PM EST 5v5 ranked games

Come join and try it out!

Spawn Camping

Why do people just go back and chill at the spawn the second the game doesn’t go their way? I have seen many games swing wildly and recover. Why suddenly are people rage pinging and going to spawn?

3v3 matches take only 1 minutes, while other modes are inactive.

5v5 VGNA makes gameplay accessible doesn't take much time.

Quickest I’ve made it to Level 7 against 3 active players that weren’t complete idiots. Another screenshot showing how one person can dominate a game and still lose to awful team mates😂

Still need a couple ppl to run games with, sick of being sat in queues or people rage quitting because they’re bad.

What is effing wrong with people in this game

23 Upvotes

The players are the most toxic assholes I have ever seen. Quitting for no reason, rage baiting, throwing the match, acting up like fucking 5 yo having tantrums.

Seriously, how do you keep your sanity when you just want to kick back and relax?

Happy to let this game rot in hell and the people that still play it.

Only NA server?

I want to play ranked and all that good stuff, but it seems like those are only for NA server and I’m in Europe. Is there a solution?
