>>742877443trannies are loving it!
blast haver status?
>VALVE IS MAKING A BRAND NEW GAME, IT'LL BE LIKE TF2!>its a moba with ranked queue>its just dotaslop with gunswords cannot measure the disappointment i felt in 2024
August update will save it
>>742878392>OGNB will completely change the game!
>>742877443Training module to make genderqueer characters
On one hand, I like the game and want to keep playing, on the other, I've put in so many hours with multiplayer games recently that I want to catch up on my single player library for a period of time.I know this isn't everyone so it doesn't explain the dip in players, but surely there are people like me right?
>>742877443we're six months since the last update I wish we'd get another one
>>742878745the dip in players is because we've had six months since a new character came outalso there is no real ranked mode and the game isn't even out yet it took a long time for the player count to drop off after the last one came out because the game is a lot better now
>>742878828>>742878745valve is absolutely not the company to do games-as-a-service model, their dev teams are all highly paid and have flat structure allowing them to bounce around and away from boring ideas and workno one with a brain wants to work on MOBAslop, they take it because jobs are few and far between these daysexpect nothing until mid 2027 after the august update is a giant nothingburger
>>742879056>and the game isn't even out yetits been 2 fucking years anon, was minecraft "not out" in 2011?
>be in exp "server">it is now remotely played on valve pc's through steam>can only play on specific hours>everything is probably recorded and timestamped there>can't prove shit1-2 months until update chuds
>>742879164yeah I'm sure that the pixel block game takes the same amount of work to make as Deadlock >>742879070who the fuck do you think makes CS and DotA2?
>>742879652holy shit they really got tired of leakers huh
>>742879669>who the fuck do you think makes CS and DotA2?you mean the games they do nothing to but add skins?deadlock is not on maintence mode, it needs a fuckton of work and doesnt have the benefit of being a copied gamemode from OG blizzard
>>742878745>OH LORD YOSHI FROM JAPAN, ENLIGHTEN THOSE HERE WHO ARE FAR TOO DUMB TO TURN OFF A VIDEO GAME FOR A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME! BLESS THIS SPECIFIC RETARD INTO THE TRUTH THAT TAKING A BREAK... IS NORMAL HUMAN FUCKING BEHAVIOR!!!!
what's the appeal of a moba, isn't it just annoying?
>>742880506fun video game
>>742880506If street brawl is anything to go by, mashing buttons to nuke people at super sonic speeds is fun.t. Lash main.
>>742880506
>>742880668they always look like this too, why are mobaniggers always so fucking ugly?
>>742880668
They keep changing the game and I'm old, I need more stability in game mechanics before I play again.
>>742880668you got the screencap of him explaining what the 88 in his name stood for?
I haven't played mobas muchCould I play solo against bots?
>>742881227it is cool to test builds and whatnot but bots pose no threat whatsoever.
>>742881227Yeah you can, but the bot matches are pretty miserable compared to playing against people.
>>742881227dont bother, if you wanna play a moba go play dota or leagueif you wanna spend 100 hours learning source movement after watching youtube videos because the game doesnt explain it anywhere, and THEN learn moba mechanics on top of it, while also learning to aim, and needing a wiki to understand what "spirit resist" actually does, then just go play an action RPG because at least those games tell you how to gitgud
>>742881406I heard DOTA is rough for moba noobsDoes it let me play solo against bots? to learn the basics?Can't play LoL cause I'm on Linux
>>742881227Yeah, but bots don't play anything like players do and they don't play the moba part of the game like at all.You can try but you should probably hop into matchmaking and get stomped after you have learned the absolute basics. Or play street brawl until you get comfortable. It's Deadlock-lite.
>>742881575yes you can play against bots but let me say again even DOTA is easier to learn than this game, deadlock is being dev'd by the original DOTA lead and its almost 1-1 with that design except now you also have to aim and do things harder than bunny hopping
>>742881774gotchaI have no idea how they stack in difficultyThanks
How do I get someone to invite me to play it?
>>742882050post bussy with timestamp and steam-id
>>742882050provide your steam code here or on reddit or on the steam forumsit's the easiest game to get invited to ever
>>742882132>post bussyI'm not gay enough to do that>and steam-idI can do that >>74288170876561198008399382
>>742878392you mean september update, august is another item update from the sound of it
>>742879935which is strange because if it werent for leaks that god awful viscous redesign would have went through
>>742879056It took a long time for the player count to drop off after the last one came out because the game had added a game mode that completely avoided the bullshit genre the game had chosen. Even then I don't see street brawl keeping people's interest forever.
>>742882612My friend who only played street brawl asked me when new maps were coming out...Didn't have the heart to tell him...
>>742877443They fucked up the flow of the game when they changed max level from 46k to 40k souls. At least they reverted the recent urn changes.
>>742881575The bots in Dota are decent, at the very least they'll help you learn how heroes generally function.
>>742877443Have you gone from seething about Gabe to seething about Deadlock?
>>742883519i assure you this game is actually just dogshit and i have nothing to do with the assblasted kikes who hired jeets to make 20x "STEAM BAD, GABE BAD" threads everyday for 6 monthsi've had to add like 3 new regex filters to plug the turd shoot
>>742878035I'd love to play Ivy in a game that isn't literally Just Dota 3.
>>742882050The steam community hub has discussion threads where they send out thousands of invites.
>>742877443When are they gonna fix Calico’s model? How can I show people this game when it had a bald nigress in it
>>742884508you download mods to replace the uggos and niggers that sweet baby tried to force inits a shame wraith doesnt have a better replacement
Does /v/ play multiplayer games competitively at all?This is a serious question.This place has almost zero threads about multiplayer games and the ones that are like people punching their clown to LoL characters.That one thread about Shroud is proof that this place has never opened Aimlabs. Or played Counter Strike where they kick you for whiffing a shot with the tec-9 from across the map.
Uninstalled after going on a 7 game loss-streak and dropping from Arcanist to Seeker before proceeding to ragequit on my 8th match that night. I'll reinstall either after the Matchmaking rework or the not-RoR3 game mode drops.
>>742884770some do, there are also /vg/ and /vm/ threads for those games, but yes there are a lot of shitters here who would rather complain than spend one second improving
>>742884770we're all on /vg/ in the respective threadsthis place is a wasteland and im glad its finally dyingim oracle/phantom in deadlock and was diamond/master in overwatch back when i played in like season 4, so not the best but not the worst at eithereven for non-competitive games you'll find everyone here is a shitter, things like vermitide/darktide /v/'s general opinion is just someone who is bad at the gamethe one exception is souls games, a lot of people here are quite good at the pvp but it means fuck all because souls pvp sucks ass due to poor netcode
>>742882280no bussy no invitehomo
>>742884790a truly unranked causal queue (not some hidden mmr bullshit or cope RNG mode) would solve quite a lot of seething
Game is really fun and addictive but they definitely need to speed up on new heroes and hero remodels/reworks, there's a content drought right now. Fucking around with the urn mechanics is not real content.
I played it for a bit, couldn't quite get into it.Dota is just better in every way.The reliance on sound (to hear people creeping around and the lack of pinging) makes it kinda annoying that you have to leave sound on so you can't chill with sound off like you can with dota.I don't know. I never really enjoyed 3D shooter mobas. Always thought TF2 was meh and never played OW or Marvel Rivals.
>>742885867Valve is working on half life 3 at the moment Be patient >>742886283>game is bad because... it has sound
Too invested in dota2. I'm still god awful at it but at least it's familiar
I'm done playing multiplayer games with ever-expanding hero rosters. Balance patch metagame merry-go-round is tiring.
>>742887821Being a metaslave is probably so tiringObsessing over winrates and such, instead of just playing whatever suits your fancy
>>742886643>game is bad because... it has soundI'm not >>742886283 but he's right. In games like counter-strike and tarkov, sound is 100% the most important gameplay mechanic and you will get shat on if you're not wearing headphones with volume up to hearing damage levels.
>>742887821New heroes are fun actually.Deadlock could definitely expand its roster a lot more before it reaches a healthy state, especially considering it's 6v6. Sick of seeing Mina every game.
game is dead, move on so valve can kill it and get back to working on hl3.
>>742884628>black people in a new york 60's settings is forcedYou people are too retarded to be real, holy shit, if anything pocket and mina are more forced, but you're ok with that one right?
>>742887957...and sit at the bottom of matchmaking? All multiplayer games have matchmaking, even when you're not playing a mode with a visible rating. Using words like "metaslave" is just cope along with calling people "sweaty" or "tryhard".>>742888136Fun because novelty I guess? Feels kind of cheap to me, you know? When you can't create a closed rule set that's fun over a long time.And we all know what happens to ever-expanding rosters: power and complexity creep
Why is this game not out yet? Cause fucking dont know how its gonna gain new players when its been omega beta tested to hell and back
>>742888352Niggers are ugly and cringe. Simple as. Mina cute.
>>742888527And what's wrong with sitting at the bottom of matchmaking besides your own ego getting hurt
>>742888527>more content is cheapThe average Dota 2 or Deadlock character has more going on than a conventional FPS or class-based FPS character.Conventional FPS get by on new maps whereas MOBAs typically only have one.
>>742888621Valve is slow and they don't feel 100% confident in the game's presentation yet. I'm sure as soon as they finish remodeling all the heroes they'll move towards open beta. Though that could be years from now.
>>742888693Retard
>>742880506It's kind of like the experience of leveling an RPG character for PVP condensed into like an hour worth of time. Sorta like a faction MMORPG but without the stinky MMO shit in it.The characters are cool and the game has lots of moving parts that make it interesting.Unfortunately this particular moba is very boring. All the tedium of Dota with none of the tech and strats, and whoever decided to make the game a movement shooter with a stamina bar deserves to get shot.
>>742888742nothing, I suppose
the game is fine, I think people just have MOBA fatigue
>>742884628this wont last after skins drop
>>742890334This Yamato mod is so good I wonder if it's got 'em pissed in comparison to whatever they have in the works
>>742888352>>742888850>defending unironically confirmed sweet baby inc character designsplease leave my board tourist
>>742891087I've been here longer than you've been alive. They fit the setting, shit yourself in rage.
>>742891140not possible, been here since 2004your generation is a disgrace to history btw
>50-70k playing daily
>>742878035This. It should've just been TF3 with a $50 DLC to transfer your hats across from TF2.
>>742884790>"games are meant to appeal to everyone"We can count our blessings that this retard was a pencil pusher and not a producer
>>742891087/pol/ needs to leave. the other anon can stay
>the other anon can stay, accept the purple bald woxymn bigot!
I'm only not playing rn because they ruined doorman.Next big patch, I'll be playing again
>>742890334You can mod DOTA2 but it beats the points of skins. Skins are meant for you to show off to other people.People can't see your mods
>>742895051>ruined>all they did was nerf his escape because people can now follow him through the door>anon quit because he lacks the braincells to place the door in an elevated positionoutside of the few jewtubers who make ragebait videos doorman players are some of the dumbest motherfuckers ever
>>742895234>Skins are meant for you to show off to other people.you are the goyest of cattle, i fucking hate you and hope you die
>>742895350?? I don't buy skins, I'm trying to explain why mods for deadlock won't be disabled once skins come out for it.
Should've made TF3. These big studios are so out of touch, it's insane.
>>742878035Big same. As soon as I played it and found out it was an ASSFAGGOTS, I lost all interest.
The Urn changes and the blatant fact they have no fucking idea what to do with it is what killed the hype for me. I never played it since.
>>742895751The new Urn is pretty good. As in, the post-rift one
I've hardly even played deadlock and don't really care about it, but the fact that theres constantly someone trying to make weekly threads about how bad its doing makes me feel like this games existence upsets some people
>Try and convince my friends to play with me>Queue up>Every game is a 65 minute long snoozefestIt's kinda hard to defend this shit. I don't care that it's not a problem in high elo
>>742896050its a not-very-great moba that also requires an absurd time investment to gitgud, its kinda the poster child for schizos to be upset overhowever the rothschilds lost a lawsuit to valve in Feb so they've hired jeets to spam the board for the entire year with any type of narrative that can hurt valve in any way shape or form
>>742895915Turning into a sinner's sacrifice was a shitty idea, and doesn't fix anything.
>>742896371take mid boss and then objectives it's not hard
>>742895751The urn changes are them treating the game like the alpha it is and trying stuff
>>742895751this is why they have a special invite only alpha that's even more more specialer than their invite only alphato avoid retards like this
>>742896050> this games existence upsets some peopleThat's a no brainer. Loads of people legitimately hate how valve turned themselves into "the dota company" and it's not hard to see why.
>>742882953it's back to 46k again in the latest balance patch, and everyone lost a bit of healthi hope they make a turbo mode that plays closer to 2024 deadlock in terms of ttk and power progression, street brawl is too rng casual
>>742877443Well it's a shitty tranny hero shooter made by that jeet Abdul Ismail.
